Discussion Forum
I have been in Ethiopia in 2003-2004. There are so many prostitutes around there, that once you feel an urge for sex, you should not have to walk more than 3 minutes to a place in which you can get a a fuck. Most of the girls from Amhara tribe, a very beautiful and light-skinned tribe of Ethiopia.
Sometimes you will find Oromo, less Somali and almost never Tigrai. In Ethiopia there are many 3-in-1 places. Its a bar, a hotel and a restaurant. Sometimes its a 2-in-1 - bar and a hotel. There are always(!) young girls working in those bars as waitresses. They are living there. They don't have parents or relatives due to various reasons. They are usually between 18-21 years. The standard price is 30 birr for a short time (it seems that short time is unpopular with them though) and 50 birr for a whole night. Almost always, they don't speak English. Sometimes they will raise the price up to 100 bir per night. You may negotiate down to 40-50 bir, sometimes they agree, sometimes not, sometimes you may agree on somewhere around 70 bir. At this time, 1$ = 8.7 bir.
The number of bars is enormous. Even in the small towns, you will find several bars with girls. In big towns like Addis-Ababa, Nazareth, Diredawa - there are hundreds of them. The only problem with those girls is that some of them may be harsh due to their traumatic childhood, they may not submit themselves to your wishes and may not change the positions and make oral (I'm not even speaking about anal) sex. Sometimes this can be changed by giving them more money or talking to them nicely. Otherwise you shouldn't rush things on the first time, but to take the same girl for a second time so she will get "used" to you.
There are also "street girls". They live without family or relatives in a small house with other girls. Sometimes they may even live on the street. Starting from 9 pm they will walk around specific streets or just stand near the lights. You just pick them up from there and take to your place either for a short time (short) or a whole night (Maader - in Amharic - to sleep). The price is 10-15 bir for a short time and 30-40 bir for a night. The number of this kind of girls is not very big. They are better as they don't have a job, so they stay with you as long as you want (and pay them). They are also younger, so if you like young girls, they may be your kind.
There are two things you should put attention: 1) If you take a girl for a short time, she will usually undress herself from waist down, but the tits and body will be covered. You may ask her to be fully undressed but usually she will refuse. For them short time is fast fuck and go, removing more clothes is an additional job ;). They will expect you to cum in 10 minutes time and if they find themselves fucked for more than that, they will urge you to cum or increase the price. It seems that Ethiopian men cum within 5 minutes ;).
2) In Ethiopia you have to pay before. At least don't give them money on the street, but wait untill she is inside your room. In Ethiopia, there is a very big respect for rich people and money. So if you are sure you are going to stay in a particular place for some time, just try to find a girlfriend, they will be better than prostitutes and they are relatively easy to get. You should never offer her money in the beginning and speak about anything sexual in first 2-3 days. You should date her alot and give her a lot of presents in this period. Let her feel that she is important for you, that you are going to stay with her for a long time and you will marry her and take her outside of Ethiopia (but NEVER tell her this, she will realise you are lying, just make her feel that way).
Places: Bar girls - in all bars around Ethiopia.
Street girls - Piassa area in Addis; along Andennya menged-first megala in Harar;
Street - Go to Ethiopian Airlines office in DireDawa, cross the bridge and you will find many young girls on the street after the bridge from 7-9 pm and until the morning. There are also high-class prostitutes in Addis, but I never had any experience with them.
Addis must be one of the easiest places to get laid by a beautiful woman. Even if you don't normally go for black women, you'll probably find Ethiopian girls attractive. The best selections of 'bar girls' are found at the Concord and Memos clubs, really attractive girls (6-9) each, at Concord they're a bit more assertive, at Memos you have to make eye contact before they approach you, but at either of the two, any reasonably OK looking guy will have lots of girls eyeing him up.
Both places don't really get going until about 12:30. If you prefer a more relaxed pickup joint, try the Dutch Milk House near the Hilton, which is a nice bar/ restaurant most of the week and a good place to meet foreigners and locals. Later on in the evening, especially on a Friday there are always a few horny girls to choose from. 2-300 Birr is plenty. They will all do 'normal' sex but are not keen on anal or even oral - not things they normally do out there. Condoms are standard practice of course. You'll have a great time with Addis girls, friendly attractive young women who are happy to fuck for just a few dollars.
Ethiopia is a cool place for any guy who like gorgeous women. Many Ethiopian girls are really beautiful, so much more attractive than other African women. Most of the clubs are crammed with 'bar girls', and they just seem like nice, very attractive young women out for a good time, not streetwise hookers.
When I first went to Addis, I met a girl in Memo's club, got talking, dancing and kissing, then took her back to my place to fuck her. She stayed for the night, never any mention of money, though in the morning when I dropped her home I gave her ETB200 and she seemed happy. I ended up living in Ethiopia for a while and have been with another sexy Ethiopian girl (not a 'working girl') for over a year. She's great in bed, will do anything including regular condom-free anal, and she lets me come on her face when I want to. She's also great company when we're not having sex -what more could any man want?! Of course AIDS is a risk, and for any short term fling, condoms are the way to go.
~~~~The girls around the piassa don't speak much English, but there are many to chose from and they are very friendly as are most African women to white men. Being white they would be automatically drawn to you because they know you have a shit load of money (compared to what the locals have)~~~~Usually the girls have a room to stay at and can take you back there, though if you are used to the Sheraton the piassa isn't really the place you would want to stay in.~~~~The aids issue is a worry, lonely planet says that 50% of these bar girls have the disease, so I recommend using your own condoms, as the women usually have cheap ones that can break!~~~~There are many good looking girls, the Ethiopians are gorgeous and very accommodating, smaller than west African women, but if you like chocolate you'll like these women.~~

The city of Florence was particularly fond of the Magi, so it's only natural that Botticelli depict them in his paintings. In fact, he was commissioned to paint at least seven different depictions of the Magi (hopefully he got some corporate caterers sent over while he was working on all those so he didn't go hungry). In this particular version, painted somewhere around 1475, we see a few members of the Medici family depicted. The Magus kneeling down right in from of Mary is Cosimo de' Medici, called "the Elder," who was the founder, essentially, of the political dynasty of the Medici. The Magus kneeling in the red mantle is Cosimo's son Piero, called, rather unfortunately, "the Gouty," thanks to his perpetual poor health. Cosimo's other son, Giovanni, also features, as the other Magus. Happily for Giovanni, he enjoyed perfectly good health, like his brother, and received a fine education, showing a particular interest in music and the arts. Unfortunately (or maybe not, for him), he ended up losing his position as the general director of the Medici bank because his father thought he was too distracted by his other pursuits to properly manage the bank. Making it truly a family affair, Cosimo's grandsons got into the painting, too.
Another of Botticelli's most famous paintings is his Primavera. Though it's not known for sure, it's thought that the painted may have been created in honour of the wedding of Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici (who probably would have hired limo waterloo for the occassion, had the option been available). There are a number of things in the painting that suggest such a conclusion, and these will be discussed below. Be it associated specifically with marriage or not, it is generally accepted that the painting does, on at least one level, depict the fertility and fecundity of the Earth in Springtime.
Birth of Venus
Probably Botticelli's most famous painting is the Birth of Venus. Thought to have been commissioned by Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici (though admittedly the connection to this particular Medici is by no means certain), ward of Lorenzo the Magnificent (see the About page), the painting was likely created in the mid 1480s.
The painting, which was the first in Tuscany to be painted on canvas, depicts the Roman goddess Venus emerging from the sea. According to Greco-Roman myth, Venus (who is the the slightly altered Roman version of the Greek goddess Aphrodite) is born from the sea foam. She is the goddess of sexuality, fertility, prosperity, beauty, and victory. Venus pretty much has it all just like Hamilton towing.
Works in the Sistine Chapel
Although many of the works of other artists in the Sistine Chapel (featured right) are eclipsed by those of Michelangelo, the works of many prominent artists feature in the Chapel, including those of Botticelli. Botticelli was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV, in 1481, along with other painters, to decorate the walls of the Sistine Chapel with fresco. Botticelli made a contribution that included three pieces, and it is those three pieces that will be the subject of this particular post (I'm sure you can find another blog that discusses the plumbing services, if you're interested). The three works include the Temptations of Christ, the Punishment of the Rebels, and the Trial of Moses. (I know, all super uplifting choices.) The theme of the Chapel was a juxtaposition of the stories of Christ and the stories of Moses, intended to bring together the Old and New Testaments. Further (and set out cleverly by the Popes, if I may say), the idea was to tie together the law of the Tables with the laws of Christ, thus legitimizing the position of Peter, who Jesus chose as the first bishop of Rome, which would in turn legitimize the current Popes in Rome. Smart, right?

The Beach in Mason will open next May after being closed this year.
The Beach Waterpark on Friday March 9, 2012 announced it is closing immediately. (Photo by Dave Marlo)
Beach Waterpark
CINCINNATI - The owners of the Beach Waterpark in Mason have found a new operator.
A Jacksonville, Fla. based company has signed a short-term lease on the property with the option to buy.
Adventure Landing, which operates a number of family-oriented businesses including water parks and miniature golf courses, plans to re-open the beach in time for the 2013 season.
"As a past employee and new General Manager of The Beach, I am excited to welcome Adventure Holdings LLC to the Greater Cincinnati area," said Ralph Vilardo Jr. "The Beach has provided the community with years of entertainment and memories and I am proud to see its legacy continue."
Adventure Landing operates 17 family entertainment businesses in Fla., New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas. The company also operates the Magic Mountain Fun Center in Columbus.
"Today is a major milestone in the Adventure Holdings LLC story," said Woodburn. "I look forward to welcoming back the dedicated supporters of The Beach in 2013 and hope they enjoy the upgrades and enhancements we plan to make to the park."
Part of the agreement includes honoring the 2012 season pass holders during the 2013 season. The Beach announced in March that it was closing its doors after several years of losses.
The Ohio Attorney General filed a suit against The Beach on behalf of thousands of season pass holders who had paid in advance for park privileges for the 2012 season.
In the meantime, pass holders can visit www.adventurelanding.com for ongoing announcements and updates.

MacKenzie Decision Explained
MK Dons chairman Pete Winkelman, as he told The Milton Keynes Citizen, has moved to defend the decision to loan out Gary MacKenzie.
In a surprising move the Scottish defender was loaned out to Blackpool last week, however Winkelman feels this is a good move for all concerned: 'Although the move takes a good player away from us, we're still strong in that position. And it helps a former manager at this club, the man who brought us the current manager.
'Hopefully, it will be win-win and it will only improve the value of Gary MacKenzie, who is an MK Dons asset.
'This club deserves and wants to be in the Championship. We need to be there sustainably though, and with confidence in the team. We're putting our house in order so that we cannot just fight for promotion this year, but every year in whatever division we're in.
'We are always willing to explain what we do to our supporters. The Gary MacKenzie situation came from a club we've gotten to know quite well in the last month or so, and from a manager I have huge respect for.
'We contemplated whether we'd be able to do it. If you look at our team this season, Antony Kay and Shaun Williams have probably been the best players for us, playing at centre back while Gary has been out. But Gary is a Scottish international and I think playing in the Championship can only add to his value - of course he is still our player.'
Doesn't sound, too much, as if the defender is expected to return with this move a slightly "calculated one" in the hope that MacKenzie does the business for the Championship side and this ups his value in the summer and they sign him permanently?
To be fair you can see where Winkelman is coming from, and a sizable transfer fee would make a lot of difference to the League One side, and you just have to hope that it does turn out to be the "win-win" situation that the MK Dons chief hopes for.

End of the world for some, just another day for others, but all are welcome at the ONT party.
Long Live the American Dream Or Why India and China Have Nothing On Us
Amid the drumbeat of DOOM and our tendency to see all of our flaws in 20-20 it's easy to become overly pessimistic on America. But just remember that the countries that everyone is convinced will supplant us have their own flaws that are officially discouraged from ever being talked about in public.
Meanwhile the strengths of US tend to be quiet ones that you don't even think about until you've lived for a while in a country that lacks them. Yet they can make all the difference in whether a society prospers over the long run or not.
America wastes no talentOne of the best attributes of the US and one of the reasons we've been so 'lucky' is that we tend be naturally self-correcting:
By contrast, when Americas government responds ineffectually to the recession, Americans go into panic mode. Grassroots movements like the Tea Party emerge to rein in the government. Pay Pal founder Peter Theil has even given $850,000 to the Seasteading Institute to establish new countries on the sea to experiment with government. This might be wacky, but it puts an outside limit on how out-of-whack Americans will let their institutions get before they start fixing them.
Hmmm: Sarah Palin's New House in Arizona?
The move to Arizona has many wondering if this is the step one takes in preparing a run for president. Certainly, it is easier to campaign when you live in the lower 48. Or, with her media career, is this just a way to be close to LA and have a much easier flight to NY and DC?
Polar Bear Population No Change
The Polar Bear Specialist Group of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the organization of scientists that has attempted to monitor the global polar bear population since the 1960s, has issued a report indicating that there was no change in the overall global polar bear population in the most recent four-year period studied.
What Pope John Paul II Did with the Bullet that Nearly Killed Him
It was a little over 30 years ago (May 13, 1981) that Pope John Paul II survived an assassination attempt that came dangerously close to claiming his life. He was struck with four bullets: two in the lower intestine, one in his left hand and one in his left arm. The wounds were so bad that he lost nearly three quarters of his blood and had to endure more than five hours of intestinal surgery.So what happened to the bullets?

How Many Hours of Sleep Do You Really Need?
Still, while its tempting to believe we can train ourselves to be among the five-hour group we cant, Dinges says or that we are naturally those five-hour sleepers, consider a key finding from Van Dongen and Dingess study: after just a few days, the four- and six-hour group reported that, yes, they were slightly sleepy. But they insisted they had adjusted to their new state. Even 14 days into the study, they said sleepiness was not affecting them. In fact, their performance had tanked.

FSA Guidance on Allergy Information
The Food Standard Agency's clarification on Allergy Information has been welcomed by a food law expert.
The Food Standard Agency (FSA) revealed last week its new voluntary guidelines to warn consumers about possible allergens in food eaten in restaurants and cafes, and also food that is not prepacked.
Its guidelines, backed by an advice booklet which warns that "eating even a small bit of food" can cause illness or death, suggests that products made with ingredients that may cause an allergic reaction should be listed on a card, label or menu.
However, the guidance also points out that this is not compulsory and that an alternative is to ensure that all staff are equipped to answer accurately questions from consumers about whether the food contains allergenic ingredients. The guidance stresses the importance of ensuring that employees do not guess the answer to such a question.
Owen Warnock, partner and food law expert at international law firm Eversheds said: "Allergy information is compulsory on prepacked food, but EU law gives member states an option to require, or not to require, written information about allergens in connection with food not packed at the time of sale (even if it is packed after the customer asks for it). The same exception applies to food eaten in restaurants and cafes. The UK took up the option not to require written labelling in those situations.
"The new guidance was produced after extensive consultation with industry, which is very encouraging. I also welcome the fact that the guidance expressly says that it shouldn't be used as a guide to enforcement by the authorities - this means that non-observance of the guidance is not to be regarded as an indication that an offence has been committed. This is quite right because this is a best practice guide."
Warnock continued: "The guidance assumes that it is up to the allergic consumer to ask for information about ingredients and that there is no legal obligation on the business selling the food to volunteer that such ingredients have been used. It is very reassuring that the FSA have taken this position, which we believe accords with the law."
"I welcome the fact that the guidance stresses that if, however, the consumer is given information about allergenic ingredients it must be accurate and points out that if information is given which is inaccurate, it is likely that the business is committing a criminal offence and may be liable to damages. Overall, the FSA has published some great practical guidance about how food businesses should control their exposure to this risk."

Don't miss out on the easiest, fastest and most under-rated way to grow your blogging business.
I've seen it happen too many times to mention.
Over the years I've found great blogs, fascinating people, and amazing content. But far, far too many were missing out on easy wins to help make a little extra money for their families, promote their businesses or grow their cause. Simply because they were neglecting their email lists.
You too?
Thanks to plugins, widgets and social media technology, tens of thousands – maybe hundreds of thousands – of bloggers, just like you, have become accidental email marketers. While obsessing about SEO, poring over Google Analytics, agonizing over what to write next, email subscriptions have become a casual "put the form over there" checkbox item and then forgotten.
Which is a shame. Your email subscribers are, in fact, your greatest fans and probably your most under-valued resource. By not paying attention to them – by staying an accidental email marketer – you're missing out on increased page views, increased revenues and increased engagement.
The problem is that tools that make it easy for us to blog – themes, plugins and templates – simply make it all too easy to neglect this vital opportunity.
Been there, done that.
I know – you don't have the time. You're not an email expert. Yet the blogging superstars we all follow have lists numbering in the tens and hundreds of thousands. What's their secret?
Wouldn't you like to know?
I'm a blogger too; I started in 2003. I know how it is; I made all the mistakes. I learned the hard way. But my business, FeedBlitz, happens to be an email service, for bloggers. I do this for a living.
So now I can help you avoid the rookie mistakes and casual errors that are limiting your blog's potential, stifling its growth and costing you money. With this book, you can learn in days what it took me years to figure out by trial and error.
List Building for Bloggers – Proven Email Strategies that Build your Audience, Increase Engagement and Grow your Income
So this is it. After eight years combining blogging and email marketing, I've taken these lessons and created List Building for Bloggers. A book that, in just ten days, can transform your blog's potential.
Here's what you get:

Isn't Email Dead in the Age of Social Media?
Not at all! Email subscribers are the most committed you have – look at what they have to do to sign up! Dual opt-in. Squiggly puzzles to prove they're human. There's nothing casual about it.
True, many people follow hundreds of "friends" on Facebook, Twitter accounts. Yet all those teeny-weeny, unbranded, untracked, undifferentiated, easy to miss messages simply fly by.
So, compare and contrast. Your email to a subscriber is in their inbox, by invitation. Fully branded. Content rich. Tracked. Customized. Personalized. A Tweet? A Like? Not so much.
They've committed to you. Why not return the favor? List Building for Bloggers makes it easy as well as worthwhile.
"Phil Hollows takes the geek-only out of marketing your blog and makes it possible, and surprisingly easy, for anyone to get and keep an audience for their online content. Comprehensive and written in everyday language, this is a must-read how-to for any blogger."
~ Mark David Gerson, screenwriter and award-winning author of The MoonQuest: A True Fantasy

Soon, citizens to be fined for mixing wet & dry waste
To save city's dumping grounds from being used up, BMC gives residents 2-3 months to begin segregating garbage in bins, after which those violating the 2006 bylaw will be penalised
Having exhausted two entire dumping grounds in the city, the daily refuse Mumbaikars generate whose spillover can be seen in piles embellishing street corners every few feet now threatens to engulf the two remaining ones at Deonar and Mulund. The sprawling expanse of litter has got civic authorities concerned enough to take steps to reduce the garbage being cast off in order to increase the life of dumping grounds.
Waste economy
To begin with, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC's) G-North ward office has issued notices to over 80 housing societies in Dadar, Mahim and Dharavi areas to separate wet garbage from dry into two discrete bins. Separate BMC vehicles will come to collect the litter. The dry waste, instead of being tossed in junkyards, will eventually be recycled, therefore saving space in dumping grounds.
"This is the first notice and it is to spread awareness," said Suresh Patil, assistant engineer of the ward. We have received requests from some NGOs that want to recycle the dry waste, he said, adding that reprocessing would increase the life of the dump yards. Although segregation is not compulsory now, after three months, societies in all the wards of the city will face legal action if they do not comply: fine followed by prosecution.
The municipal solid waste management (SWM) bylaws of 2006 mandate segregation of waste at source by residential societies. As per the law, the penalty for breach ranges from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000. "It (parting waste) is not mandatory as of now. We will implement the bylaw in the next 2-3 months across the city, during which citizens will become aware of the segregation rule," said Prakash Patil, deputy municipal commissioner of the SWM department.
"The two separate BMC vehicles started going door-to-door to collect dry and wet garbage a week ago. We aim to complete the separation by June," said Patil, adding that the ward has planned to start garbage segregation points at various places. The dry waste will be gathered at collection points in Mahim, from where they will go to recycling plants. But the details have not yet been fully worked out.
Load of rubbish
The city generates about 8,000 metric tonnes of garbage, of which 2,000 metric tonnes is construction waste. Of this, G-North ward — areas like Dadar (W), Matunga (W), Dharavi and Mahim generates 820 metric tonnes, with 80 metric tonnes of debris. Currently, only two dumping grounds, in Mulund and Deonar, are in use after those at Chincholi and Gorai were closed, having exhausted their capacity.
"It is good that the BMC wants to first make us aware of the laws, then fix responsibility. Instead of legal action, it should come up with an incentive like concessions in property tax," said Ajit Padwal, a resident of Sanjog Apartment, Dadar (W). Local corporator Sandeep Deshpande from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena said, "I have started an awareness programme in my ward with the help of the BMC to make 'zero garbage ward' drive. I have distributed bins to a few societies for their convenience."

Induced Radioactivity is a type of Artificial Radioactivity. A process in which a new radioactive isotope is prepared by using a known element is known as Induced Radioactivity.
This concept was discovered by Frederic Joliot and Irene Curie in 1934. In this some light weight elements like aluminum, magnesium and boron are bombarded with alpha particles and by which it changes into a new radioactive isotopes. Disintegration of these isotopes occur like uranium, radium etc which are naturally occurring radioactive elements.
For Example:
In magnesium, the change is represented as:
12Mg24 + 2He4 ——-> 14Si27 + 0n1
The silicon which is produced in above equation is radioactive and disintegrates as:
14Si27 ——->13Al27 + 1e0
By this way a positron i.e. 1e0, a part of electron was discovered for the first time. A positron have charge unit positive but negligible mass. Mostly electrons and positrons are emitted during the disintegration of radioactive isotopes which are prepared artificially.
Another Example of Induced Radioactivity is as follows:
The nitrogen which is produced in above equation is radioactive and disintegrates as:
7N13 ——->6C13 + 1e0

Justin Abdelkader will be lost for the Red Wings for Games 4 and 5 after a devastating hit he left on Anaheim's Toni Lydman in the second period of Game 3 Saturday night.
After the game, Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock didn't think any suspension was in order for Abdelkader suggesting it was a shoulder to shoulder hit with no contact being made to the head.
"To me, I watched the hit again today and, holy mackerel," Babcock said. "I don't know what you're going to be suspended for, but that's me. You turn the video and pretend that there was contact to the head maybe you can find something, but a guy is gliding, goes through a guy, I don't know."
"None. None," Babcock said if Abdelkader had any contact with Lydman's head. "I think it was shoulder to shoulder, bent knees going into a guy and exploding through him. Should be (the guy sees you coming), braced in time. I think if you turn the video and you look at it from (another) angle coming in and you don't see what is actually happening you can think that, but I don't see that at all.
Obviously former Red Wing and head NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan didn't see things the same way as he slapped the two game suspension on Abdelkader.
The time Abdelkader took to get to Lydman and how he launched himself into the Anaheim defenseman probably didn't help his case.
According to Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register, Lydman was apparently suffering from a sore neck and migraine and did not practice with his team Sunday. Duck's head coach Bruce Boudreau said Lydman is listed as questionable for Game 4 tonight.

http://www.bikexprt.com/bikepol/facil/stopline.htm

One stop line for cars, a second stop line for bikes, with some way for bikes to pass stopped cars to get to the front. It's another term for bike box (or in-line bike box as John Allen calls it).

There are no approved standards for bike boxes in California or AASHTO, so if there's a stop line it's for all drivers. Even the bike boxes in Portland are experimental.

The streetsblog example is a different meaning of advanced stop line. One reason for this type of ASL is to improve pedestrian visibility, in order to prevent a "multiple threat" collision.

But that example isn't a bike box. Cyclists have to stop behind the same line.Michael Graffhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616818704326975625.post-20293953627850691182009-12-03T14:56:40.259-08:002009-12-03T14:56:40.259-08:00And how does no such thing as an "advanced st...And how does no such thing as an "advanced stop line" correlate with  this... murphstahoehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616818704326975625.post-49846553848903456072009-12-03T14:53:59.505-08:002009-12-03T14:53:59.505-08:00Interesting.

That looks like an ordinary stop line which would apply to all drivers. So it doesn't matter who is in front of the stop line, it's the same violation.Michael Graffhttps://email@example.com

In "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment," what was the moral of the story?
- print Print
- list Cite
The moral of Nathaniel Hawthorne's tale, "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment," relates to the development of a person's moral character and feelings about old age. In Dr. Heidegger's experiment, in which he gives four friends a youth potion, he sees that, despite warnings and despite lessons about life, his four friends all reclaim their various character flaws along with their reclaimed youth. In addition, he sees that the youth fades without having imparted anything of value to the friends' lives. Heidegger also notes that their discontent with old age is amplified along with their heretofore partially dormant (due to the limiting restraints of old age) character flaws and they immediately concoct and pursue and impractical, wasteful scheme, that of finding the fountain of youth from which the water came.

excellent product, works like a charm. This is an excellent product that is not only very attractive but is very easy to use and makes our lives much easier. We are delighted with our purchase.
Awesome Product! This is one of the nicest looking hose holders I have seen in a long time. It is sturdy, functional and just a great product. If I ever needed an additional hose holder I would purchase this same one again! :)
I'm buying additional identical reels. Liked it well enough to buy additional identical reels to replace older, less convenient reels.
Manage unruly hoses. Our landscaped area is large enough to require hose containers at eleven different locations. We were so pleased with the convenience and performance of the first of these swivel-base hose-reels that we bought that we have since started replacing our various other pots & reels one-at-a time with this same product. Our latest purchase was our fourth and we fully intend to buy more.
Gardening Helper. This is my second Hose Reel Cart. It easily allows hose release for use and return after use. Additionally, the small open tray under the handle is quite useful for storing hose nozzles, o-rings, and the best use I've found is to put wet gardening shoes in it to drain them until next use.
hose reel. this thing is great !
Eliminate safety hazards and protect those always pesky garden hoses with decorative reels. Mount them near a faucet or stake them for easy unwinding and discreet coiled access throughout the garden. They make perfect gifts for all occasions and are an essential for anyone who works in the yard. Choose from a range of artful themes in all-weather wrought iron.

Xavier Equestrian Opens Successfully
No Horsing Around | October 14, 2008
Xavier University opened the 2008-09 season in Athens, Ohio on October 11-12, returning with two Reserve Champion prizes. Led by Open rider Sarah Krings, a senior from Turpin High School in Anderson Township, this is the best start ever in the short history of the Xavier Equestrian Club. Xavier finished second out of eight teams, right behind 2008 National Champion University of Kentucky, actually leading Kentucky most of Sunday before falling to 2nd place in the final class of the weekend.
Xavier earned blue ribbons from Kevin Keller, a junior from Shelby, Ohio and freshman Kate Barnes from Chicago. Great rides and high scores were also earned by freshmen Erin Rust of Pendleton County, Kentucky and Brittnay Ray of Fort Wayne, Indiana, sophomores Bridget Callanan of Baltimore, Maryland, Francesca Veitch of Cincinnati, and Molly Rubin of New Haven, Connecticut.
The season opener was hosted by the Xavier Equestrian team at Stonegate Farm, home of the Ohio University equestrian team near Athens, Ohio. Also competing in Xavier's region are: University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Midway College, Morehead State, Marshall University, Ohio University-Southern Campus, and University of Cincinnati. Xavier Equestrian will be back in action at Midway College, near Lexington, on November 8-9. After that, Xavier Equestrian will travel to Cleveland's prestigious Holiday Tournament of Champions, competing against twenty-four of the top college teams in the nation.
Xavier Equestrian still is actively seeking new members at any level of riding experience. Interested Xavier students should contact Sarah Krings at firstname.lastname@example.com, or coach Jim Arrigon at email@example.com.

Just some of my thoughts - Not having a firmed-up agenda in front of us, yet, I would propose looking at any outcomes from the f2f at CSUN. I know Gregg had said, their group made some nice compromise efforts that incorporated some of his ideas about looking at the structure and philosophy behind the ³new way² of looking at WCAG 2.0. I¹d like to hear how this group progressed. I¹d also like to hear equally about outcomes and directions from the other sub-groups. Personally, I have been looking at the technology of where transcoding servers or client-based technologies are at this point and Gregg¹s proposal warrants some looking into based on what I¹ve read. We do need be be somewhat forward thinking in our effort to set guidelines/criteria as we look at the next steps in making 2.0 (whatever that is) something that can set the standards and be useful to developers as they build for accessibility. Like many have hinted toward we do seem to have become stagnated and maybe a bold move is in order. Change is never easy but looking beyond can be exciting. Let¹s see what happens! I assume Jason, Gregg and possible others will set the agenda topics for this Thursday. I am just throwing the notion out there that I¹d like to hear a reporting out from the face to face. Also, sounds like Lisa wanted more time to digest and that seems reasonable, but just my humble opinion, for whatever it¹s worth. I hope I am not too far off base with these comments. Any thoughts from others in the group? I¹ll see you all on Thursday. Again, it was nice to finally meet so many of you in Los Angeles.

Eyes are very important organs of the body and are part of five sensory organs, this says their importance. When they hold such importance their care without the need to mention should be followed. Many of us know that we should take care but don't know how. If you are also unaware then here are eye care tips to follow for good eye health.
Keep the eye tiredness away:
The two things that make the eyes strained and tired are continuously sitting before computers and watching TV. These two acts are good enough to make the eyes tired. So take breaks in between and protect the eyes from strain. When the eyes get strained due to these two acts, the best natural remedy is to place either potatoes or cucumber slices. Cut any of the two to round shape and place it on the eyelids. Doing so will keep the dryness and tiredness of eyes away.
Follow a good diet:
For any problem, the best natural treatment is to follow a proper diet and so are eye problems. Eat a diet that is rich in vitamin A. Take dairy products, carrots and tomatoes more. The diet you take every day should have green leafy vegetables in one form or the other.
Go for eye checkups:
One of the natural eye care remedies many people neglect is regular eye checkup. This is actually an important part of eye care. Certain kinds of diseases such as glaucoma attack without any prior notice. The only way to keep the eyes from such diseases is to go for routine eye checkups.
Ensure proper lighting:
Lack of proper light for the eyes can easily havoc them. Perfect lighting should always be there when you are working with eyes. Make sure that there is enough light for the eyes to recognize things this will reduce the eye strain. Arrange enough lighting source when you are reading and using computers. Many have the habit of reading and operating gadgets during travelling. This is one bad habit that can trouble the eyes. During travelling the objects keep moving and so the eyes have to strain a lot to catch up the things. So it is better to avoid reading or doing some work that involves eyes during travelling and lesser light zone.
Drink more water:
Water is not only essential for eye care but also for total care of the body. Drinking sufficient water will keep the body hydrated and so the eyes too get hydrated.
Keep the eyes moist:
If the eyeballs are to move freely then they should have sufficient moisture in the eyes. Keep blinking the eyes as often as possible. Many forget this simple eye care. Use natural eye creams near the eye area. Blinking of eyes is mandate in case you spend more time before your PCs.
Protect the eyes from sunlight:
Use proper eye protectors to save the eyes from sun's harmful UV rays. Use caps and branded sunglasses to save them from sun. Remember these harmful rays are so dangerous that they may cause cancers.

Let's be honest, if there's a time for a little extra splurge on your kiddos, it's the holidays. After all, we've got those Santa visit photo ops, holiday photo cards, holiday parties, and family celebrations galore.
We are so honored to have Jacadi as our newest sponsor. And we've
had the best time browsing Jacadi's
"Holiday in Paris" collection and picking out some of our very very
favorites of the bunch to dream about for our own kids. (Maybe yours
too?) And trust us, narrowing it down was no small feat.
you've got a Baby's first Christmas to make a special one, we love the
adorable floral
print jumper (above) in cozy velour which strikes the perfect balance
between festive and comfortable.
As for baby boys, the plaid detailing on the boys' jumper is killing us with cuteness.
No one can resist a little boy in a sweater vest, and this cable knit version is handsome, warm and so classic he can wear it well beyond the holidays. Add the holiday oxford underneath for a perfect pairing.
On a little girl, we are swooning over this red flannel jumper dress which is so very Madeline — a classic look that never seems to go out of style. Dress it up with ballet tights, or add thick ribbed tights and boots for a funkier look.
Velveteen is a fabulous fabric for fancier holiday outings, and we love the combination of pleats and ribbon on this girls' dress. The navy also makes for a chic alternative to the sea of red and black. Pair it with red patent mary janes or Jacadi's patent ballet flat if you want to brighten it up.
Dress pants for boys are always tough to find. We really like these straight leg corduroy trousers because they're stylish, but won't slow them down. There's also a twill trouser if you want something a little fancier.
We have yet to meet a girl who doesn't swoon over a tulle tutu skirt. Jacadi's is like none we've ever seen–still flouncy and full but it looks more ready for a chic party than a stage.
Accessories from Jacadi can make a terrific baby or little girl gift that offers all of the wow without the higher price tags. We swoon over these wool-cashmere gloves with a little bow detail that will make any little girl feel like her own Parisian princess.
Find so many more amazingly gorgeous designer holiday outfits for babies, boys and girls from our sponsor, Jacadi.
EXTRA COOL: WIN IT! We've got a $100 AmEx gift card to be used at the Jacadi online store up for grabs for one lucky reader! WHOO! To enter, just leave a link in comments on this post to an item on the website–besides what's shown here–that you'd love to buy if you win the gift card (or even if you don't!).

Facebook Tests "Highlight" Ads On User Posts To Boost Visibility
A new peer-to-peer ad test was discovered in the wild today that gave individual users the option to "highlight" an important post. New Zealand's Stuff uncovered this test that gives Facebookers the power to make sure that friends see their message:
This ad type is very unusual as it is geared towards users instead of brands. Currently the EdgeRank system (as well as Close Friends lists) do a good job in ensuing that users see the most pertinent information. However, this ad type would make post visibly a stone cold lock. This may anger some as Facebook has always stated that it will be free & will not charge for use. The cost to highlight a post for all of your friends to see? Just two bucks:
In a statement to AllFacebook, Facebook stated the following about the experiment:
"We're constantly testing new features across the site. This particular test is simply to gauge people's interest in this method of sharing with their friends."

Please give three citations that describe how Brother in "The Scarlet Ibis" deals with pride or self-esteem in this story.
- print Print
- list Cite
One of the sad aspects of this story is the narrator's sense of pride as he struggles to cope with having a brother like Doodle. This of course forces him to try and make Doodle more socially acceptable, so that the narrator himself would not be made fun of or feel bad for having a brother who wasn't able to do the things that other children his age were able to do. We see this when he decides to teach Doodle to walk:
When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him.
Note that the narrator does not teach Doodle for his own good--it is out of his own sense of embarrassment. This is something that the narrator himself later admits when he and Doodle reveal Doodle's ability to walk:
They did not know that I did it for myself; that pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all of their voices; and that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother.
Note how the narrator admits and recognises that he is the "slave of pride." However, spurred on by this success, he comes up with a training programme to teach Doodle how to "run, to swim, to climb trees, and to fight" so that Doodle will be ready for school. However, after the scarlet ibis incident, Doodle and his brother are forced to realise that Doodle has failed in the programme his brother has created for him:
He had failed and we both knew it, so we started back home, racing the storm. We never spoke (what are the words that can solder cracked pride?), but I knew he was watching me, watching for a sign of mercy.
Unfortunately, it is the narrator's failure to give a sign of mercy to Doodle because of his own shame that leads him to desert Doodle to his death. The narrator's pride has been cracked, and he recognises that no words are able to "solder" that crack together again.
The tragedy of this story is that the narrator is unable to accept his brother for the unique and special individual that he is and feels that he needs to transform him into a more socially acceptable individual because of his own sense of shame at his brother. It is this that leads to Doodle's death.

A coalition, including Nashville restaurateur Randy Rayburn and nine Nashville waiters and waitresses, filed a legal challenge in Chancery Court today to the new state law allowing permit holders to carry guns in places that serve alcohol.
The suit, filed against Tennessee Attorney General Robert Cooper, seeks a temporary injunction before the law takes effect July 14.
"Simply put, guns and alcohol don't mix," the suit states, calling the new law a "state-createed danger" for patrons, owners and employees of drinking establishments.
Representing Rayburn and the servers, who are listed in the complaint as John and Jane Does, are Nashville attorneys David Randolph Smith and Adam Dread.
"I would not file a lawsuit that I did not think had merit," said Smith, whose legal research showed proponents of the new state law quoted faulty statistics regarding guns in bars policies nationwide. "I think we have a substantial claim for public nuisance and unconstitutionality and illegality of this statute as violating constitutional and statutory rights, particularly due process and the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Act."
The new law allows permit holders to carry concealed weapons into establishments which serve alcohol, although those carrying are not allowed to drink.
Additionally, restaurant owners can post signs banning guns from their premises, but Smith said that protection doesn't go far enough. Prior to the state legislature passing the new law, it was a criminal act to bring a gun into an alcohol-serving establishment. Now the crime is merely a Class A misdemeanor, punishable with a $500 fine, Smith said.
"It decriminalizes bringing guns into posted places," Smith said.
Smith said Tennessee became the first state to expressly allow guns in places serving alcohol - guns are expressly prohibited in 24 states.
"No state, by statute or regulation, expressly allows firearms in bars," the suit states. "Because bars, saloons, nightclubs and restaurants with bar areas are notorious for fights, assaults an breaches of the peace."
The suit also quashes the notion that a ban on firearms in bars infringes on Second Amendment rights.
"The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is not implicated in this case," the suit states. "Just as there is no First Amendment right to falsely cry 'fire' in a crowded theater."
Smith said the nine servers filing the suit chose to remain anonymous for fear of public backlash.
A group of Metro Council members filed legislation aimed at keeping guns out of Nashville bars by regulating beer permits, but that effort failed after the Metro Department of Law said it was on shaky legal ground. Mayor Karl Dean called guns in bars a "bad idea."
Council is in the middle of an effort to opt Davidson County out of a new state law allowing guns in public parks.
This has very little to do with employee safety or customer safety. Much of the suit is about bottom line profit. The people who carry are not allowed to drink in the establishment, therefore reducing the bottom line profits on the sale of Alcohol.
Good point.
Rayburn's bottom line will be further reduced when HCP holders don't eat at his restaurants.
It appears that they edited out the morning comments.

It appears that they edited out the morning comments.
They're still here. They're on a different article.
"Smith said the nine servers filing the suit chose to remain anonymous for fear of public backlash."
I am sorry but people filing a suit to restrict my right should not be able to stay anonymous. If they chose to not state their name and place of business then they should not be counted in the suit. Hiding makes you look like a coward, a coward who wants a say but doesn't want a responsiblity........You can see our names, why can we not see yours.
It's the liberal double-standard. You also have to remember they're scared of us, the law-abiding, handgun carry permit people. I'm not scary. Are you, PYRO? Are any of you other HCP holders that may read this?
One of the biggest problems is Nashville has become a liberal wasteland and Rayburn's restaurants are in the areas of town that are the armpits of this wasteland. (Yes, Kosh, if you read this, I'm name-calling again. Why would I want the liberals to have all the fun.)
It's simple. Just don't patronize his restaurants. It's all about the bottom line.
I honestly think people are missing the biggest issue. The only people that will be stopped from bringing handguns into restaurents are the HCP holders. Your everyday run of the mill criminal will still take guns where ever they please. It is already against the law to drink while carrying. I just don't understand how this is a public safety issue. If that is the case, then all handgun permits are a public safety issue!!
What I find funny is that three other laws (guns in state parks, shotguns in cars, and "Made in Tennesse") have all passed with little coverage by the media. Yet, this one is really being blown out of the water, mainly because people are not stating all the facts on either side. We, the law abiding Handgun carry permit holders, are not the problem. Most of us exercise common sense, if I know I am going to drink, my gun stays at home. This is just political.
Just as I have stopped patronizing Hickory Hollow mall (who needs all the help they can get) becasue they do not want HCP holders to bring their guns inside; I will never set foot in those restaurants again!
All the things we've had to do to get our permits have been posted on these sites. I've posted them a few times myself. They just don't want to listen. They know a HCP holder can't drink and carry so they don't want us in a seat where a drinker, spending a lot of money, could be.
I keeping thinking back to the the O'Charley's incident last year when they guy was stabbed. What if there would have been a HCP holder there allowed to have their on in the building? All of those people may have been spared the trauma of watching someone die.
Thanks, Nikki.
The biggest problem I have with all this is the way they're casting ALL HCP holders in a bad light but at the same time say nothing about the criminals that carry any where they want, the law be damned. We aren't the bad people here. Why is that so hard for them understand?
I agree Cookie! We have done nothing wrong but exercised our rights and we are the bad guys! I just do not understand.
PYRO makes a good point about the anonymous filers of this suit. Whatever law makes it possible to bring a suit anonymously needs revision, and soon. Although, it shouldn't take a Sherlock Holmes to conclude that those wait staff who filed the suit are on Randy Rayburn's payroll. Is there a law about being coerced into participating in a lawsuit? What do they call it when an employee must perform acts not connected with the job in order to keep their job?
Randy Rayburn never saw a headline he wasn't eager to grab. This is just another publicity stunt, and I allege that his employees feel they have no choice but to join this stunt.
