My approach is qualitatively different from most Mistresses here on Niteflirt. I don't yell and scream or force myself to laugh at you like a B-movie actress. Instead, I ask pertinent questions and attempt to penetrate into your psyche as regards what you feel; what makes you this way; and what, exactly, triggers your emotions of abject "patheticness" etc.
Most importantly, I make you understand that someone like you who is compelled to do this sort of thing--to make this kind of confession--must really and truly be a loser. Otherwise, you wouldn't feel compelled to call me. And the fact that it makes you sexually excited is even more pathetic--and just as real. In other words, your fantasy reflects an objective psychic reality: you really are a submissive bottom bitch who belongs under my body and soul. Therefore, my approach is that of a wicked female therapist who actually enjoys exposing the weaknesses of her clients and holding them up for all to see: like a mirror reflecting your worst fears.
Sexually inadequate submissives cannot become real men, but they can be trained in the art of servitude, body worship, cuckoldry, sissification, psychological emasculation, and female supremacy. You can never be a real man. But there's one thing you can be that a real man can't be: a bottom-bitch sissy submissive loser. Call me to become the submissive you were meant to be.

Hamm was asked to father friend's baby
Actor JON HAMM was once asked to father a child by a friend who was desperate to have a baby.
The Mad Men star admits he turned down the request because he was unemployed and broke at the time, even though his pal told him he wouldn't have to be a part of the youngster's upbringing.
Hamm tells Fox411, "I have actually been asked to be a father by a friend who wanted to have a kid. It was kind of weird and out-of-nowhere and I said no. Mainly because I was totally unemployed, and I would feel so responsible, even though they said, 'Don't worry, no strings attached.'"
Hamm has been in a relationship with his partner Jennifer Westfeldt for 15 years and insists he has no plans to start a family of his own.

March 30, 2012 - I came back and added some pictures and back links to wild onion recipes I have tried. Enjoy!
Wild onions are out right now in the Midwest. These are the dainty little onions with some powerful flavor - super oniony. I collected a bag full out on the back side of the arboretum. In the arboretum proper these have been weeded out. They are considered an invasive species; a delicious, edible invasive species.
Here's what they look like growing in the woods:
Now these aren't ramps.
These are ramps:
Most of these recipes and ideas will also work for ramps. Ramps have a milder flavor and are more prized in the foraging community. However, there aren't any near me, so I settled for wild onions. Here's more information on ramps if you are interested.
Gathering wild onions in spring is a ritual among the Oklahoma Cherokees, as well as the other tribes who live where these wonderful plants grow. Wild onions are often frozen and kept for months so they can be eaten the rest of the year.
Wild Onions have an important social aspect among many Indian people in eastern Oklahoma, including Cherokees. In the early spring, many Indian churches, stompgrounds, clubs and other groups hold wild onion dinners. Families and friends also often make an outing of gathering wild onions and/or eating them together. The wild onions are prepared by frying them with eggs and are usually served with other Indian dishes such as fry bread and grape dumplings. Wild onions grow in a variety of conditions but are best gathered where a loose moist soil promotes thick growth and easy digging. Timbered bottomlands are favored. Cattle grazing effectively eliminates the digging of wild onions. Wild onions are among the earliest greenery to emerge in the spring and cattle like to crop off young blaldes, making it impossible for humans to find them even if they survive the grazing. The milk of dairy cows grazing on wild onions takes on a strong flavor that most people find objectionable.

New federal school standards coming under attack
As Wisconsin schools begin a new year, many are tailoring their lessons around an increasingly controversial set of voluntary math and English standards for kindergarten through 12th grade.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative, which sets new and often more rigorous goals for what the nation's students should be learning at each grade level, is drawing flak from all sides, from Tea Party activists to educators.
"It's kind of a monstrosity that's spreading across the country without much input from the town boards, school boards," said Kim Simac of the Northwoods Patriots, a Tea Party affiliate in Eagle River.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukeebased nonprofit publisher Rethinking Schools has chided, "Unfortunately, there's been too little honest conversation and too little democracy in the development of the Common Core."
Meant to prepare students for colleges and careers, the Common Core standards list specific expectations for academic mastery. For instance, students should recognize equivalent fractions by fourth grade and use precise vocabulary when writing about complex topics in grades nine and 10.
The standards also call on teachers to help students develop critical thinking and analysis skills, said Emilie Amundson, Common Core State Standards team director for the state Department of Public Instruction (DPI).
"For Wisconsin as a state, this is a huge shift. Our (previous) standards … were so incredibly general," Amundson said.
Many educators around Wisconsin began implementing the standards when they were adopted by State Superintendent Tony Evers in 2010. But this year, the standards will be in place in virtually every public school in the state, and some private schools.
Tim Schell, director of curriculum and instruction for the Waunakee School District, said the transition to Common Core will be hard for elementary level teachers, who must overhaul both their math and literacy curricula.
"You're beginning to see some of the actual impact, and these are big changes," Schell said. "These are not easy changes."
In May the state Legislature's Joint Finance Committee amended the state budget to require a review of the standards and a study of the costs associated with them. It called for a series of public hearings on Common Core, which DPI plans to hold, and asked for a Legislative Council study committee to look into the issue.
The Legislative Fiscal Bureau is expected to release its report soon on the cost of implementing Common Core, as well as the cost to halt implementation.
"DPI began to implement Common Core in 2010 without any public input or legislative action," state Rep. Dean Knudson, R-Hudson, said in a statement. "My hope is that after public input is had and the study received by the Legislature, we can more precisely assess which standards are best for our state's schools."
Nationally, Republicans are split on whether the Common Core is a good idea. Walker was an early supporter of the standards, but last week his office declined to comment.
'Orwellian control'
The National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers developed the standards with input from a panel of experts and funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Currently, 45 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the new standards. Minnesota has embraced the standards for English but not math.
But in some states, including Wisconsin, these standards are under fire.
In April, Indiana passed a law calling for an evaluation of the standards and their costs, while stalling their implementation. Michigan, in its new state budget, prohibits spending state money on Common Core.
And several states, including Georgia and Oklahoma, have withdrawn from one of the groups developing Common Core-aligned standardized tests.
In Wisconsin, lawmakers held a special legislative hearing in May on the new standards before an overflow crowd. Several speakers, including representatives from two Wisconsin school districts, the DPI, and the right-leaning Fordham Institute, testified in favor of the standards.
Committee members also heard from critics who painted Common Core as an exercise in federal overreach.
Joy Pullmann, a research fellow at the Heartland Institute -- a conservative think tank that weighs in on education, health care and promotes skepticism that climate change is manmade -- called the standards "unproven education theories, embedded in an Orwellian control system in which we have had no voice."
The standards have been championed by Arne Duncan, President Barack Obama's education secretary. And the administration offered Race to the Top grant money and No Child Left Behind waivers to some states that got on board.
Indeed, some critics of Common Core have dubbed it ObamaCore.
The Republican National Committee has condemned the standards as "an inappropriate overreach to standardize and control the education of our children." It ripped "the collection of personal student data for any non-educational purpose without prior written consent."
There is no mention in the standards about a national database for student information, and defenders of the initiative say there is no such intent.
"Common Core itself does not require any data collection," said Jennifer Kammerud, legislative liaison for DPI, at the May hearing. She added that state and federal law already require some data gathering. However, Assistant State Superintendent Kurt Kiefer told the committee that data shared with the federal government cannot be traced to individual students.
Mike Bormett, DPI policy and budget director, said these new tests will cost the state an additional $8.3 million next year. The tests are more costly than previous assessments because more grades will be taking the tests, they are more complicated and they require expensive software.
DPI team director Amundson also notes that the new testing will almost certainly result in lower scores. "These are higher standards," Amundson said. "It'll be a harder test."
State Rep. Mandy Wright, DWausau, supports the standards. A former middle and high school English teacher, Wright sees them as a way to bring continuity across classrooms on what students are taught.
"People have really developed their niche and what works for them as teachers," she said. "We needed something like this to bring it all together, to pull together all those different pieces."

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
The public budget discussion that took place Saturday May 16 is now airing on 5 CITY-TV and is available through video-on-demand through the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov. A schedule for 5 CITY-TV (cable channel 5) also is available on the Web site.
The discussion was part of the "Taking Charge" project, that included an online budget survey. More than 2,200 people completed the survey, and results will be available in the next few weeks. The "Taking Charge" survey and discussion focused on programs and services that are in danger of being eliminated or reduced in the 2009-2010 budget. All those taking the survey were invited to sign up for the discussion, and about 110 residents participated.
At the May 16th event, participants were divided into 16 small groups for part of the discussion. 5 CITY-TV taped three large group presentations:
The City worked with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center (PPC) on the project, and funding was received from an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to the PPC.
The Mayor is scheduled to release his 2009-2010 City budget to the public in June. The City Council votes on tentative changes to the Mayor's budget in July. The public hearing and Council adoption of the budget are scheduled for August.

In this stage, which occurs
3-4 weeks after exposure to the virus,
and involves 35-40% of the population, large numbers of virus particles are found in the bloodstream. Cats in the acute phase usually do not show signs of disease. If they do, the signs are usually mild.
In this stage, cats are infected with FeLV but they kill off most of
the virus. The remaining virus is held
in check by the cat's immune system. They show no sign of disease and
they usually don't shed any virus.
This involves 5-10% of the population.
In this stage, involving 30% of the population, persistent infection occurs. These cats will not mount an adequate immune response and will remain permanently infected. These are the cats that shed large amounts of virus and become ill and die of FeLV-related diseases.
FeLV is a type of virus called a retrovirus. That puts it in the same family as feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the virus that causes AIDS). Retroviruses are species-specific. This means a feline retrovirus will only infect cats; a human retrovirus will only infect humans. Additionally, this virus is very unstable and dies quickly outside of the animal.
This virus is spread in the cat population by contact with secretions from infected cats. It takes a large amount of virus and a prolonged exposure to infect a cat.
Saliva of infected cats usually contains large amounts of FeLV. Therefore, the most common mode of transmission is through nose-to-nose contact. Bites are also a very efficient way of transmitting the virus. Other ways that a cat can transmit FeLV are through grooming, licking, and sharing dishes and litter pans.
The prognosis for cats infected with FeLV depends on the immune status of the cat, the cat's level of exposure to the virus, and its vaccination history. Disease caused by FeLV is very serious, and it is estimated that fewer than 20 percent of persistently infected cats will survive more than three years.
No known treatment exists for FeLV. Some treatments that have been investigated include antiviral drugs, such as AZT, which has many side effects. Other treatment protocols include drugs that stimulate the immune system, such as ImmunoRegulin and interferon.
Specific cancers associated with FeLV have their own treatment protocols. Other problems created by the virus, such as bacterial infections, are treated symptomatically.

How Tlicy Make Crim})owdcr. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, in a letter from Wilmington, Delaware, gives the following interesting sketch of the process by which powder is made at the celebrated Mills of Du Pont, iu that city: " Of course of the details of the business of the Messrs. Du Pout, even if known to me I could not make mention, unless by their consent; but the process of manufacture is in realityno secret, every book of Chemistry treating of it to some extent. All know tbat gunpowder is composed of saltpetre, brimstone, and charcoal, though but few have any idea of the trouble and labor gone through to have these materials in a proper quality. The saltpetre, as received at the yards, has the appearance of dirty, coarse salt, filled with a short fibrous matter ; by a process of refining, two or three times repeated, it assnmes the appearance somewhat of fine table salt, in which state it is fit for the powder mill. Great care is also taken ro have the sulphur pure. But the most labor and fore-thought seem to be necessary in procuring the charcoal, which is all made of the willow and poplar, the former being used for the best kinds of powder. To procure supplies of these woods the proprietors set out, yearly, in every nook and corner, trees which are hewn down every three years, aud the branches are converted iuto charcoal. This method of procuring the wood, gives a singular appearance to the country, for, iu many places alongside the road or the streams, may be seen old tree trunks, standing but little higher than a man's head, aud topped only with a bunch of small branches. I saw some trunks that appeared to be 40 or 50 years old, without a limb bigger than my wrist. The mill bildings in which the materials are ground or mixed are scattered along the banks of the stream, each one containig a mill. They are built of stone on three sides with heavy walls, strengthened with piers;the other side, facing the stream, is of wood, and the roof also sloaps towards the stream. The plan of construction is to lessen the damage from explosions for should an explosion take place the force would be diverted towards the stream. The mills consist of two heavy iron rollers on wheels, moving in a trough. I saw one pair,each of which weighed 15,000 lbs., adout seven tons. The materials, being well mixed up and pulverized in these mills is slightly moistened, when it is pressed inio cakes till it becomes almost as hard as plaster of paris. These cakes are then broke into small pieces aod taken to tlie granulating mills, an operation which, on account of its danger, I was uot permitted to sec. After granulation, the powder is taken to the glazing mills. Here (i00 or 700 pounds are put into a wooden cask, revolving moderately fast for twenty-four hours, there being six or eight of these casks, and close by each were 700 pounds more, ready for another charge. From the glazing mill the powder is taken to the drying house. Here at the time of my visit, were nenrly four tons ot powder spread out on trays, while close by were two furnaces roaring away at tbe rate of 5 ton of coal each in twenty-four hours. Danger here was not, yet I could not but think of Sevastopol and the story of its mines. From the drying house the powder is taken to tbe packing house, whereitis putinto barrels and canisters, and thence taken to a magazine, of which there are several, but built with the same regard to non-damage in case of explosion as the grinding mills. While standing in one ofthe packing-houses, and just as I bad given a kick to a hundred pound keg of powder, intended for his excellency Sauta Anna, Mr. Dupont called to aman to bring him some powder in a scoop shovel, and therein I inspected about half a peck of powder, destined to knock out of the world some enemy of his said Excellency.

Colusi, Sacfi to, The Root op Evil.—Dow, Jr., in the Sunday Mer" cury, thus discourses on the importance of money "Myhearers—this is not only a great,but a curious and mysterious world wc live in and pay rent for. All discord is harmony; all evil isgood",all despotism is liberty; and all wrong is right—-for as Alexander Pope says, 'Whatever is is right, except a left boot, and wanting to borrow niojiey.' You may want sense, and the world won't blame you for it. It would gladly furnish you with the article, had it any lo spare,but unlekily it has hardly enough for home consumption. However, if you lack sense, you are well enough off, after all; for then if you commit a faux paw, as the French says, you are let go with the compliment, 'Poor fool! hedoesn;tkuow any better'.' The truth is a great deal of brains is a vast deal of botheration. An empty skull is bound to shine io company; because the proprietor of it hasn't enough to know that there is a possibility ot his making a nincompoop of himself, and therefore he dashes ahead, hit or miss, aud generally succeeds beyond the bounds of all expectation. Let a man be minus brains and plus brass, and he is sure to pass through the world as if he were greased from car to ■ankle; but rig for him up a complete machinery of thought, and it is as much as he can do to tend it. He goes to his grave ruffled and tumbled, curses life for its cares, and goes into eternity packsaddled with mental misery.—Oh; for the happiness of a fool! ville, Volcano, Washington, Watsonville, Weaverville.

Opposite Wells, Fargo & Co Temple's Block. Loa Angeles, June 9,1856. No. 4—tf Mm-dcrB In the Royal Family of Russia. The first surmise, on the ann ounce men fc of the death of the Czar, was tbat he had fallen a victim to some conspiracy. There would seem, however, to he no grounds for this suspicion. Yet the almost universal suspicion of murder was not extraordinary, when itis considered how many of the royal line of Russia have died forcihle deaths. What with the discussions among the imperial family, and what with the conspiracies on the part of the nobility to remove an obnoxiotis Czar, no dynasty of civilized princes bas ever suffered so much* from steel and cord since the days of the Roman1 Ca;sa"fs. Talleyrand's famous definition ofthe chars- acter of the Russian government, that it was " a despotism tempered by assasHiiiuLion,"- was as true a- it was witty, because of its truth. Duriug the earlier period of Czarism, nearly every emperor destroyed some rival, or was himself destroyed. Kven in the last century the murder ofa Russian prince almost universally attended or preceded the accession of a new monarch tothe throne. The bloody drama was Opened by a lather killing his own son cIqboiI Hy a bum ouiisentlng tw i)s« mui'du* nfhi« f^ ther. The incident io which we first allude was the secret execution of Alexis, onlj son of Peter the Great, by order of the father, A. D. 1719. The Prince was hostile to the new measures introduced hy the Czar, favoring the old Royar party, which adhered to the ancient usages and customs of his country. For this Peter resolved to disinherit him. Alexis, knowing what this me*int, fled abroad, but being discovered, was dragged back to Russia, compelled to renounce tbe succession, tried by secret judges, and barbarously put to death. The next great tragedy which occurred in th* Romanoff family was the murder of Peter the Third, by direction of his wife, who immediately ascended the throne as Catherine the Second. This woman, celebrated no less for her profligate life than for her political genius, was the grandmother of JNlcholas. Her instrument in the assassination of her husband, was Prince Alexis Orloff, one of ber paramours, a man of gigantic stature, who subsequently un- blushingly parked himself through Europe, and was viewed with terror and curiositv everywhere as the person who, when the Emperor'resisted, had throttled the unhappy Prince with his own hand. A brother of this monster went to Italy, where a Princess of the Romanoff line resided, whom Catharine feared, in consequence of her better title to the throne, and having inveigled the poor girl into a mock marriage, trapped her on board a Russian frigate, and carried her a prisoner to Cronsdadt. The miserable victim of the atrocious perfidy was drowned in her cell subsequently by an inundation of the Neva. The paricide to which we allude was the murderer of Paul the First, father of Nicholas, with the knowledge, if not the connivance, of Alexander, the predecessor ofthe late Czar. Paul was set upon at night, in liis chamber, and assassinated after a protracted struggle, in which he fought with desperate resolution, though unarmed and in his shirt. At the period of this bloody tragedy, Nicholas was an infant. But hss elder brother, Alexander, was a young man, and was, it is generally thought, aware of what was about to occur. Remorse for the act is said to have imbittercd the closing days of Alexander. It is asserted by some historians that even this Prince fella victim toa violent death. It is certain that lie died suddenly when on a tour in the Crimea ; and as he had become quite unpopular with a large party in bis dominions, it is not impossible that he was peisoned. In all these cas- es of assassination it was at lir.-t given out that the Czar died of appoplexy, nor did the truth appear until the lapse of a year had rendered harmless the publication ofthe facts. In a despotism like Russia, when a prince is to be deposed, there is generally no course left but to take his life. He can not safely be asked to abdicate, for he would be a bold man who could thus " bell tho cat," and while be lives, even after abdication, there is always danger of revolution in his favor. Hence Talleyrand's remark.—[Ex. paper. Swnmp and overflowed JLands At the last session of the Legislature an act was passed providing for the sale of the swamp and Overflowed lands belonging to this State, which were ceded to her by the Congress of the United States, for common school purposes. The State act requires the lands to be surveyed by the diftere-tt County Surveyors of the counties in which they are located, before they can be disposed of, according to the instructions received from the Commissioner Of the General Land Office, wbo says that— "All lands which from being swampy or subject to overflow*' are unfit for cultivation, and '■ all lands which through the dry part of the'year, are subject to inundation at tbe plantfng, growing or harvesting season, so as to destroy the crop, and therefore are unfit for cultivation, taking the average season for a reasonable number of years as the rule of determination,'- are to bo considered as granted to the State!' In order that these lands may be selected before the meeting of the next Legislature, S.H.Mariette. Esq.. Surveyor General of the State of California, has issued a card of instructions to the different county surveyors, enclosing the State act. and requesting immediate action on tbeir part, under its provisions; ' The State law reads— Sec. 11. No person shall become the purchaser, from the State, of any lands situated within ten miles of the city of 'an Francisco or San Diego, nor within five milc^. >f the cities of Sacramento. Marysville or Oaklan nor within one mile of any other incorporated city or town in this State, nor within one mile of Sacramento river, front the mouth of said river to the mouth of Feather river. The land situated within ten miles of the City of San Francisco or San DiegO, within five miles Of the cities of Sacramento, Marysville and Oakland, and within one mile ofany other incorporated city or town, and within one mile of tbe Sacramento river, from the mouth of said river to the mouth of Feather river, shall be and they are hereby excluded from the provisions of this act. The terms of purchase are set foi-th in the 5th section ofthe act as follows:— Sec. 5. Any person or persons wishing to purchase lands, under the provisions of tbis Act. may, if preferred by such purchaser or purchasers, have a credit of five years to pay for the same, by paying interest at the rate ofteu per cent, per annum, upon the purchase money, the interest in all cases, to be paid one year in advance, which interest, as well as principal, may be paid in the same manner as provided by the 4th section of this Act. The purchase money "may be paid either in money, Controller's warrants, or any other evidence of indebtedness of this State originating out of the ordinary expenses ofthe State Government." Section 16 defines the rights of settlers as follows : "Any person or persons having or holding a settler's claim, under the laws of this State for the protection of settlers, upon the swamp and overflowed ladns belonging to tbis State, shall be and is hereby protected in his, her or their claim to the same, including all improvements thereon : provided, that he, she or they shall, within six months after the taking effect of this Act, comply with all tbe requirements of other purchasers under the provisions of this Act; provided further, that no person or persons settling upon any of the swamp or overflowed lands described in this Act, shall acquire any right or title, by reason of such settlement, upon any ofthe lands excepted from the pro- ^'d visions of this Act." The terms of the grant as made by Congress the 28th of September, 1850, includes an immense number of acres of land, in the selection and survey of which no time should be lost. All delays are just so much loss to the State, and we hope that the call of the State Surveyor General may meet with a ready response from* those county officials upon whom it is made.

A war navy is the child ofa commercial navy. Ships are first built to carry travellers and merchandise ; then in time of trouble a portion of them are set apart to carry guns and soldiers.- Evidently, therefore, a war navy will be numerous and powerful in proportion to the number and power of the commercial navy of tbo nation. Nations owning large, numerous, anp well built commercial vessels will never lack men-of-war; while, on the other hand, nations not used to trade on the seas can seldom do anything effective i»a naval war; This is the conclusion of theory ; and history shows it to be true in practice.

The subject of introducing the camel as a beast' ot burden in transporting military stores, &c over our great: western plains was, if we are not mistaken, first broached in 1818 by Maj. Charles C. Wayne or tlie Quartermaster's Department.—From that iimc till 1853 he urged it on the attention of tho department, we fancy, with little success. The present Secretary of War, however, on assuming his present position, entered heartily into the idea, and Major Crossman.U. S. A., also, detotcd much time foseeui-ingforthe project (ofthe proper experiment) a triumph, laboring with zaal in making the necessary investigations to prove the feasibility of the scheme. General Davis, at each succeeding session since lie has been in office, bas left no stone unturned to obtain tire appropriation made shortly before the adjournment. Major Wayne has been1 selected, very properly, to conduct the experiment. —To that end he is about to start for ihe East, travelling overland from Liverpool or Havre.—He isto' purchase about fifty camels in Persia, ofthe kind which has beeu in use in that quarter of Asia lor military purposes for centuries. Indeed, the Persians, for one hundred and twenty years, have had a corps of artillery called "Zembourek," in which' dromedaries play a conspicuous par! ; insomuch as tlie guns «tc trnnopDrtcd o« tl>» >«4QL:i of tliOSC KH*** mals, Irom which they are also fired. These guns carry a leaden ball weighing about a half a pound. rlhose dromedaries are accustomed to a climate almost identical with that of the region in whieh it is •proposed to use tbern in the United States. For four months in the year they are accustomed t« snow aud much rmid. These animals range in value in Persia from fifteen to seven tv-five dollars usually, very choice ones bring a hundred and fifty dollars at times. The United Stales ship Supply, im which they are to be brought hither, is to leave a cargo of stores in the Mediterranean for our squadron stationed there, on her way out. After taking in her return cargo of camels, she will probably make for Indianola Texas, and there land them. Two or three scientific gentle ren are now engaged in investigating facts connected with the cli- Iflfite of various parts ofthe United States, in order to ascertain where it will be best to have them pass their first winter. It will be recollected that they travel sixty miles without food or water, and live on food which other animals of burden reject. We are firm bf.lievers that the experiment will succeed, and hope yet to see camels used as ordinary beasts of burden in our country.—[Washington Star. 1,003,736 1,074,198 1.92S.022 1,372,072 3,090,814 idditiou. — About seven-eighths of the Russian traOic ia carried on liy foreign ships. Central and South America : 1,880 193,726 Sandwich aiul SoeitstJ Islands .-. 100 3,000 From this it appears that the United States atands second in the list, being very slightly behind England. It has more ships than all the rest of Europe together. If Great Britain, France and Spain were united against this country, the three combined would only possess one-fifth more tonnage than the United States has afloat. And as we find that the tonnage has nearly quadrupled since 1812; it is safe to assume that four or Jive years hence the American merchant navy will be equal to theirs^ and will ouly fall short by a small figure of equalling the entire tonnage of Europe. This is a startling fact, if viewed in connection with the possibility of a war—[N. Y. Herald. The Law of Numerical Relatiox between tutI 5XE8.—The " Annual of Scientific Discovery " contains the fallowing interesting facts concerning the numerical relation of the sexes. It says ; " There is a natural law of relations between the sexes, which is found to vary at diflercnt ages, according to the different dangers to which they are exposed. This is one of the most curious of natural laws and one ofthe most interesting, demonstrating the admirable economy of adaptations be^ tween the several parts ofthe natural system. If tbe number of males and females born was exaclty equal, the result would be that before they reached middle age, the female sex would be reduced too low, and become inadequate to the purpose Which it lias to till j In fact, the number of males born is always greater than the females, by about four per cent. At 20 years of age this preponderance is eu-^ tirely lost, and there are more females than males. At 40 the balance again is the oilier way, and there are more males than females; At 70 the sexes are about even,and tbe ultimate age of the human being is reached without any decided advantage to either sex. Both the census of 1840 and 1850 prove this law; Beyond the age of forty years, the probabilities for longevity arc much greater for American women than that of men.—This contrasts singularly with the fact that the physique (relatively) of American women, is inferior to that of American men; That fact, as lias been shown, however, tells tremendously on women between the ages of 10 and 40, when their mortality is very great. There are now 430 American women above one hundred years of age. J&S- A country parson preaching one Lord's day from the text, "Vow and pay unto the Lord your vows," in the course of his remarks proved pretty conclusively that after a person bad made a tow it was his duty to perform it. Directly after Berviee, a sort of half bred Indian not -' all companionable, to saj tbe least, came up tac Rev. divine, saying— " I vow I go horile with you." ''Then you must go," was the unhesitating rc- " I vow I stay to supper," said he on arriving at the gate; There was no alternative and the minister invited him in. "I vow I Btay all night," was the cool assertion as he drew away from the table. The good man saw that submission ceased to be a virtue, and without any perceptible sign of discomfiture, said— '• You are welcome to-night, but I vow you shall go in the morning." A Bull In Clinrvli.. In one Of the letters printed in the auto-biography of the late Rev. W. Jay, just published, he tells a story of a bull entering a church where the reverend geutlman was preaching. " The congregation was large, and just as I was concluding the sermon there was a general consternation and out- cryi All was confusion, the people treading on one another, &c. It was rather dark, aud the pulpit candles only were lighted. I saw something moving up the aisle towards the vestry. It was a bull 1 I presume driven in by pickpockets, or persons who wished to disturb us. I was talking upon the affairs of the nation, and John Bull very seasonably came Iii; But imagine what followed. The bull could not be made to go backwards, nor could he be turned round : five or six persons, therefore, held him by the horns * while the clerk; as if bewitched, gave out, in order to appease the noise,— "Praise God from whom all blessing flow. Praise hiui all crettlnres here Ludow," kc. O that fhe bull could have roared here in compliance with the exhortation ! I looked down from the pulpit, and seeing the gentlemen who held him singing with their eyes lifted up, as it returning thanks for this unexpected blessing. I was obliged to put my hand before my face while I dismissed the congregation."—[Lutheran Obs. The Mammoth Ox.—This wonderful animal ia now on exhibition at woms on Commercial street between Sansome aud Montgomery, (San Francisco,) It ia impossible to give such a discription as will enable those who have not a conception ef what a mammoth ox is. to appreciate his Bovine Majesty. No one should fail to go and see him aud judge for themselves. It is a sight of more thau ordiuary interest. A wonderful animal, in sine aud proportion in fair keeping; in truth an elegant animal. He looks so good yoii wish to feel of liim to see if he is real.

The ox approx- mates to the enormous weight of 4000 pounds, and is still termed a calf, and by great care and feeding can be made to reacli 5000 pounds. Wc are pleased to learn that the proprietor intends to put him in order for tbe State Fair at Sacramento, and win prize. ^y* It is estimated that at least a quarter ofa million of dollars have changed hands in the celebrated race of Lexington against time. Jowl.—The Dubuke Tribune of She 9th inst., announces the election of the entire Republican State ticket by increased majorities over the vote of last fall. The prohibitory liquor law has also been accepted by the people. "f^* Widow Drizzle's husband lately died of cholera. In the midst of his most acute bodily pain, bftet the hand of death had touched him, and while writhing in agony, his wife said to him : Well, Mr. Drizzle, you need'ut kick round so, and wear the sheets out, if you are dying." Im Pants.—A young lady was taken into StatioQ 2, Tuesday evening, having on male apparel. She stated that she had assumed the disguise to look after a yoUng friend. She probably felt a little jealousy. The Sl'XHat Law.—Contrary to expectation, the certified copies ofthe statutes passed at the late session of the Lcgislature.to prohibit Sunday amusements, and vex liousesof prostitution, and suppress vagrancy, have not yet beeu received by the city officials, and therefore no attempts have yet been made to enforeo them.—[S. F. Chronicle. Academic Discipline.—The following law has been passed by the present Legislature, aud has received tbe approval of the Governor : Section 1. No iuHliolder, tavern-keeper, retailer; confectioner, or keeper of any shop or house.fbr the sale of drink or food, or any livery stable k< ep- cr for horse or carriage hire, shall give credit to any student in any incorporated academy, or other educational institution within this State. Sect. 2. No person shall be approved or licensed for either of the employments aforesaid contrary to the provisions of this act. Sect. 3. If any person shall give credit contrary to tbe provisions of this act he shall forfeit a sum equal to twice the amount sounlawfnlly trusted or credited, whether the same shall have been paid of not.

Hi Everyone!
I want to know the technique to rescue a kite when you are riding in a flat spot (normally with offshore wind). Are there videos to learn the technique?
I'm referring to that situations when you are doing a unhooked trick, you fail , break the leash and your kite with the bar is sailing alone towards the end of the world. Your friend is riding as well and has to rescue your kite while you are swimming. I don't know how to do it. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

I have been a photographer and designer for some time now. It can be pretty expensive at times. Some of the things I need to spend a ton of money on are:
- Cameras – I currently have 3
- Software – Mostly I just use Photoshop, but as you know this is an expensive program that costs $600.
- Computers – To do serious photo-editing, you need a good computer with a fast CPU and tons of RAM
- Accessories – Tripods, lighting stands, etc.
- Printers and Ink
Don't get me wrong – I love what I do and wouldn't change what I do for anything. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that sometimes I wished things could be cheaper.
Not long ago, I started doing the vast majority of my shopping on the Internet in an attempt to save money. Yes, I've made some mistakes, but in the long run I have learned a lot and feel I now have the proper tools to get discounts online on a regular basis.
In the posts that follow, I will be sharing some of the tips and tricks I used to get bargains whenever I shop online.

Her work wardrobe consists of a lot of black - black shirts and blouses, black pants, black skirts, black dresses - it's mandatory workwear in the salon. But the one place she can add her own style is in her jewellery and accessories.
When I visited her this week she told me she had somehow managed to get one of her newest necklaces wrapped around the handle of her shopping trolly and with one almight tug, it broke into about 20 pieces. She was devastated because it was one that many clients had commented on.
I told her not to fret and that it was something I could easily fix for her.
So she bundled it all into a ziplock bag and I brought it home with me.
Luckily, the rosary chain loops in this piece are made of a pliable metal and even though they had been stretched open, the metal isn't brittle so it's a straightforward repair.
For the loops on the ends of links like this one, round nose pliers are the go: just insert the pliers into the loops and reform them.
Securely closed loops like this one won't come open again unless there is another major shopping trolly incident!
Loops like this one where the gap is 1mm just need to be closed properly with a pair of chain nose pliers.
Grab the open end with the pliers and inch it into position by pushing it inwards whilst moving it backwards and forwards (as if you were opening/closing a door) until it's aligned with the stem of the loop.
So here it is completely reassembled and as good as new!
One last thing before I go. With a store-bought rosary-style chain like this one, it's better to check the eye loops on every single bead to make sure there are no places the necklace could fall apart again in the future..... you'll have one very grateful customer!
'Til next time.....

Like a lot of things that are supposed to be good for you, the danger is that the more you inquire about it, the more you regret that you asked. Well, maybe not in this case. Biodynamic is simply an ultra-organic approach to farming that creates a kind of closed natural system, where all the composted ingredients that go back into the living earth come from the farm itself.
It also stimulates plant growth through homeopathic preparations, sprayed in minute amounts on a variety of crops after being composted in buried female cow horns.
The Rush Limbaughs of the world love the cow horns. They latch on to them, also to the biodynamic method of planting by lunar cycles, to prove that stoned ex-hippies are taking down this great nation one moonstruck bovine adornment at a time.
Hey, biodynamically grown grapes and fruits and broccoli florets don't much care what Rush, his agri-chemical buddies or anyone else thinks. They're radiant. The farm is their Cote D'Azur. They bask and eat and grow and thrive. If you've ever seen a vigorous biodynamic grapevine in full cluster, you know.
Me, I've got some serious doubts about whether biodynamic wine-grape growers, still a scant minority, are making a convincing case to mainstream consumers for the wines that come out of their vineyards. But I have no doubt that their purely organic grapes produce clean, vibrant wines that don't pollute our streams and air. Mike Benziger, of Benziger Family Winery, compares conventional farming with synthetic inputs to grime on windshields. The chemicals obscure the view—or in this case, the flavors that define a particular place, he argues. He's a terrific biodynamic proponent and pioneer, both—but he doesn't foist his views on anyone.
At a recent biodynamic wine conference, Bonny Doon owner Randall Grahm said that to him, these wines stay fresher longer and don't produce as many negative personal side effects like headaches. Now that, I thought to myself, is a potential CNN sound bite.
The 100 or so cases I'm producing from my '07 harvest come from a small farm in Anderson Valley, Mendocino. It's Segue's first foray out of the Russian River area, and hardly the last, if these grapes deliver the way they promise to. So far the wine, now in barrel, tastes purely delicious.
If you want to know more about the history and practices of biodynamic farming, please email me. I've got a voluminous file.

Shopify vs Joomla ecommerce

Hear what ex-Joomla ecommerce customers have to say
Shopify makes it easy to switch from Joomla ecommerce
Shopify has proven to be an ecommerce platform for actual business owners, not designers or developers. Our previous ecommerce was difficult to customize and difficult to navigate and update. Where we were saving a little money on the month to month payment, we were paying with our time and sales. With Shopify, our site is the best it's ever looked (without hiring an expensive designer), and we are finally selling our products online, which our fans have been begging for year after year!
- Nikki Jones
I just found out about Shopify last week and have spent some time with it. It looks like they offer everything under one roof with apps that could give us similar functionality at a fraction of the cost of what I'm spending now.
- Ex-customer of Joomla ecommerce
Developing custom eCommerce solutions can often be a long and expensive process. For a small percentage-based fee, Shopify instantly provides everything needed for a basic web shop including hosting. It's a joy to use, easy to set up and the administration interface beautifully designed.
- Ex-customer of Joomla ecommerce
I have been absolutely blown away by Shopify. It is everything that an ecommerce platform should be. We realised that we needed something more stable and robust. Something that could scale and support our growth.
There are many things that we love about Shopify, and we feel like we are only scratching the surface of it's potential. The advantages of Shopify over Joomla ecommerce so far are:
- Shopify is a hosted solution, so I no longer have to maintain servers, apply software updates & worry about security issues.
- Shopify is a dedicated ecommerce platform, whereas Joomla ecommerce is an extension to the CMS. The problem with this is that Joomla is not actually built for ecommerce.
- Shopify themes / customisation is so simple & powerful. Joomla does have a good templating engine, but Shopify blows everything out of the water with it's liquid templating language.
- Shopify is super fast. Joomla ecommerce can be quite sluggish
