He is also being very persistant about adding wax foundation frames in place of the natural method according to my cousin who he did talk to after the inspection. He told him I was gonna have a mess in there because the bees were gonna build all over the place. From what I can tell things are looking nice to me. the comb beeing built is straight and beautiful. Not to mention I have seen 1 shb and it was being chased until I killed it, I solved my ant problem long ago, I have seen no moths and I still don't know enough about mites to spot the whole droppings thing. Nothing on his paperwork about pests or disease though.
I still see bees flying in with their back legs packed so I am leaving well enough alone

WICHITA, Kan. (July 17, 2009) - The United States secured its lead in Pool A and earned a spot in the FIVB World League final round with a 3-0 (25-21, 32-30, 31-29) victory over Netherlands before a crowd of 4, 475 on Friday at Koch Arena in Wichita.
The victory improves the United States' record to 8-3 in Pool A. Netherlands falls to 4-7. The two teams will play again on Saturday at 7 p.m. Following that match, the U.S. Men will travel straight to Serbia for the final round, which runs July 22-26.
"We were able to accomplish one of our goals to advance out of group A," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said. "I thought the match was hard-fought. Both teams are capable of playing better."
The United States was led by Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) with 18 points on 14 kills, two blocks and two aces. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) added 11 points on 10 kills and one block. Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) scored nine points on seven kills and two blocks. Andrew Hein (Carol Stream, Ill.) scored nine points on five kills and four blocks.
Scott Touzinsky (St. Louis, Ill.) scored six points on six kills and Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) added three points on one kill, one block and one ace.
Robert Horstink led Netherlands with 18 points 15 kills, two blocks and one ace. Jeroen Trommel scored 12 points on nine kills and three aces.
Netherlands played a strong match, out-blocking the United States 12-10 and converting 41 percent of its attack attempts while the United States converted 40 percent.
But Netherlands was hurt by 15 serving errors that seemed to come at the most inopportune times.
"I was disappointed we missed so many opportunities to score important points," Netherlands head coach Peter Blange said. "We missed too many points to make it difficult for the U.S."
Knipe started Rooney and Touzinsky at outside hitter, Lee and Hein and middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) at setter and Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) at libero.
The United States took an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) of the first set. A kill by Hein coming out of the TTO improved the lead to three and the U.S. held on to the three-point lead at the second TTO, 16-13. Netherlands drew to within one with a kill and a tip out of the timeout; but kills by Hein and Touzinsky improved the U.S. lead back to three. Touzinsky continued to hit well, helping the U.S. secure the set victory.
Netherlands came out strong in the second set and led 8-4 at the first TTO. With the Netherlands leading 14-9, Team USA substituted Hansen for Suxho at setter. But Netherlands held a 16-11 lead after a kill by Horstink took the teams into the second TTO. Netherlands seemed to have things well in hand at 20-15 when Hansen got the serve on a Dutch error. Team USA scored the next seven points in a row, despite a Netherlands timeout, including two kills and a block by Stanley.
The Dutch reached set point first at 24-23, but a Netherlands serving error tied the score. Netherlands reached set point three more times, but was unsuccessful. Team USA took its first set point at 28-27, but Kooistra's kill tied the score. With the score tied 30-30, Netherlands served into the net and Stanley followed up with a kill off the block to take the set at 32-30.
Netherlands took an 8-6 lead at the first TTO of the third set. But the U.S. kept up the pressure and tied the score at 12-12 on Rooney's tip. Team USA led 16-15 at the second TTO. The end of the match was another marathon, with the U.S. scoring the final two points on a kill by Lee and a block by Rooney.

Hi Matirulis,
Shakes are something spectacular. I mean just think about it for a moment, what can be better than mixing all your favorite fruits together with some yogurt and ice and drink it on a hot sunny day? Well, I can think of a few things that are better than that. But, it is amazing the creations you can come up with and how things taste when you combine such different and similar flavors. A few weeks ago I had bought some frozen strawberries, blueberries, and coconut. The coconut I tried to use in a very failed attempt to make coconut brownies that I spared you from hearing about, but I still had the berries and some fresh pineapple.
You do not need to follow any specific recipe for a fresh fruit shake. All you need is a blender, some yogurt or water (if you want it 'healthier'), and ice. You might or might not want to add any sugar. "A" says that fruits already have so much natural sugar that there is no need to add any more. I like to add a pinch to bring out the flavors even more.
So what did we do?
We added a little yogurt that we had, it was about 1 tbsp. We would have added more but we just did not have so instead we added the leftover pineapple juice. We added about 8 strawberries, a handful of blueberries, and the pineapple. The you blend it and drink!
It is a healthy snack that can be put together in no time.
Even better, you can make your own 'healthy' mixed drinks if you want to have this at night by adding some rum or vodka to the mixture if you are in a party mood.
Hope you are having as beautiful and sunny days as we are!

Einherjar: The Viking's Blood (Video Game Review)
There isn't a very deep storyline to the world of Einherjar: The Viking's Blood. You begin the game as a Viking warlord who must build up a territory and army in order to continue the expansion of your land and defeat the nearby monsters to find great loot and make the nearby areas safe. There are plenty of heroes and other characters littered throughout the game who each have their own personalities and back stories. The really interesting feature of Einherjar: The Viking's Blood is the ability for your characters to age, get married and have children who can inherit the abilities of their aging parents that lose statistics beginning at age 30. It's a really neat mechanic that few to no games have ever used, and it works well here to keep you working towards the most powerful army yet and to continue making your home territory better for the next generation.
Much of your time in Einherjar: The Viking's Blood will be spent harvesting resources and collecting other valuable items outside of combat. Missions will be given to you from the beginning of the game whose requirements and rewards will be stated before beginning the mission, and once you've completed a mission, you will unlock more and more things to accomplish in the game. Once you've collected enough resources, you can build new structures for a variety of different effects including homes for your characters or different types of factories that produces better equipment and items for your characters to use in combat. Building up the perfect base is one of the most important focal points in Einherjar: The Viking's Blood, and one of the most time consuming.
When you decide to leave your homestead in search of new lands and new resources, you will encounter other characters and enemies. This is where combat comes into play, and you will have to strategically use the characters you've been training to overcome your opponent by moving around the arena and attacking similar to the combat of games such as the Final Fantasy Tactics series. Each character has a job that can be leveled with different strengths and weaknesses prominent in each job. Using the character in combat the way their job should be used is key, and the game doesn't necessarily become any easier once you've unlocked more characters or even a whole army. If you ever want to switch characters or simply unlock too many characters, they can be frozen to be used at a later time. The one minor gripe with the game is that freezing and unfreezing characters and performing other important actions costs you power which is mainly collected by spending real cash on in-game items, but that is the price you pay for playing a free game.
Einherjar: The Viking's Blood is a game that is well worth your time, especially if you're a fan of strategy RPGs. The game is slow paced, but it is helped by an enchanting soundtrack and colorful graphics and animations. If you ever become bored of the single player adventure, Einherjar: The Viking's Blood offers up player vs. player matches to see who has assembled the mightiest army. Of course, you can invite your friends to play and unlock additional power for signing them up for the game. Einherjar: The Viking's Blood is an entertaining game that isn't perfect, but is fun enough to see you spending countless hours in the game before stopping, and best of all, it is available to play totally for free. Check it out today!
Einherjar: The Viking's Blood is now available free-to-play exclusively for PC. For more information on the game, check out the official Einherjar: The Viking's Blood website.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'train' tag.
They might as well call up bin Laden and have him give lectures to rookie agents on how not to offend Muslims in the process of pursuing terrorism charges against them. The FBI does know what our own federal prosecutors think of CAIR, right? Right?
Three days and counting until The Investigative Project on Terrorism drops the mother load. Says Insight …
An American Muslim group identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal terrorism case is being used by the FBI to train its agents about Islam.
The FBI declined to respond to Insight's questions about this seeming disconnect, as one of the pre-eminent anti-terrorist research centers in America is set to release an extensive report on the same prominent U.S. Muslim group, accusing the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of being a foe, rather than an ally, in the war on terror.
The 10-part report on CAIR from The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), led by Steven Emerson, debuts March 24. It tells the story of a group formed in the early 1990s to push an agenda of radical Islamists in the Middle East by portraying the war on terror as a war on Islam, and by defending those arrested on terror charges.
After a careful review of the history, activities, statements, and causes of and by CAIR, it seems that its primary goals are to silence and de-legitimize its critics and redefine what it means to be a moderate Muslim," says the IPT report, a copy of which was obtained by Insight. "And when it comes to U.S. efforts to crack down on terrorists and their financiers, CAIR takes an almost visceral stand in opposition."
This is where a good President would step in and say to Mueller, Hey buddy, this doesn't seem quite right …

Where do you go to get started in genealogy? Even if you have been involved in genealogy for years, where do you go to be reminded of how to research effectively? What if you are asked about how to get started? What do you say? There are quite a few how-to books but they are generally more than a few pages long and don't lend themselves to answering immediate questions. OK, if I asked the question, it must have an opinion about the answer. The answer is, you may wish to consider using the resources of the FamilySearch Wiki.
One of the first places to start is "A Guide to Research." This digitized publication is direct and to the point. Although it is slanted towards using the Family History Library as a primary resource for research, the principles set out in the outline are timeless. A second copy of the publication is found in the Research Guidance section of FamilySearch.org. The publication dates from the early 1990s but it is still useful.
Another good place to go for basic information on researching your ancestry is the Portal:Get started with this site on the FamilySearch Wiki. The list of helpful articles near the bottom of the page is impressive and a good review for those who already know the basics.
Brigham Young University (BYU) has a Religious Education class, Religion 261 that is specifically directed at the basics of starting family history research. Despite the name and designation of the class, it is not a "religious" class as such. It is full of practical information.
Here is a list of additional resources you might consider reviewing including some I already talked about:

Things are getting tense between NBC and Jay Leno. Amid reports that the network is planning to replace him as the host of The Tonight Show next year, Leno went after NBC in his opening monologue on Monday.
TV Scorecard: What's renewed? What's canceled?"Well, you know, the whole legend of St. Patrick, right?" Leno said. "St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland, and then they came to the United States and became NBC executives." This isn't the first time Leno has made unflattering jokes about NBC. On Feb. 28, the comedian referenced the network's ongoing ratings struggle."For the first time in history, NBC is going to finish fifth in the ratings period," Leno said. "We are behind the Spanish-language network Univision — or as we call it here in Los Angeles: Cinco de Ratings." He then went into a series of quick one-liners about the network, including, "it's so bad, The Biggest Loser isn't just a TV show anymore; it's our new motto."
Photos: Child stars who grew up — and stripped down!Leno's new dig came three days after The New York Times reported that NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt had sent an e-mail to Leno complaining about the ratings jokes, prompting "an exchange of pointed e-mails" between the pair. One of the three sources the Times quoted said that Leno was surprised by Greenblatt's displeasure and defended himself by saying that late-night stars ribbing "their masters" is a long-standing tradition.What do you think of Leno's joke? Do you think NBC has a right to be mad at Leno?

Editorial: ISIS, U.S. both savage Iraq
The explosive advances of the army of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS), crossing from Syria into northern and central Iraq, have brought deeper miseries to the Iraqi people who might have expected they had already endured the worst, including the effects of U.S. imperialist policy. Atrocities from mass shootings and beheadings to systematic kidnapping and rapes of women—that the world and U.S. foreign policy ignored when IS carried them out against anti-Assad revolutionaries in Syria—in Iraq no longer remained hidden.

Running in the 'Meda: Big-league mishapsSubmitted by Marty Beene on Fri, Aug 28, 2015
I don't often write about the top levels of competitive running, since most of us are so far removed from it. It seems like something from another planet. But this past week in Beijing, the International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships have been going on.
Many top track & field athletes think of this meet as even more prestigious than the Olympics (perhaps because it is only track & field, not all those other sports). Monday and Tuesday each included unusual occurrences, both involving American women. Read more >> about Running in the 'Meda: Big-league mishaps

Letter to the full House Opposing Proposed Funding Cuts
January 24, 2011
Dear Representative:
On behalf of the 3.2 million members of the National Education Association, we urge you to VOTE NO on HJ Res 38, scheduled for a floor vote this week. This deeply troubling resolution would slash federal funding to FY08 levels, with potentially devastating consequences for education. Votes associated with this issue may be included in the NEA Legislative Report Card for the 112th Congress.
While the specifics of which programs would be cut under HJ Res 38 have yet to be determined, if the proposed overall cut was applied to the Education Department, it would reduce funding by $9.42 billion from the current level. This would have a very detrimental impact on students as well as on our economy and future competitiveness.
Particularly in these troubling economic times, investing in education makes both good fiscal sense and good public policy. Funding targeted to quality public schools will see the greatest return on taxpayer money and will strengthen the entire economy. In fact, research shows an inextricable link between investment in education and economic strength. In addition to widespread productivity increases, the higher earnings of educated workers generate higher tax payments at the local, state, and federal levels. Consistent productive employment reduces dependence on public income-transfer programs and all workers, regardless of education level, earn more when there are more college graduates in the labor force. (Education Pays, The College Board, 2007).
If the proposed cuts were applied equally to all education programs:
- Title I, which provides additional resources to assist educationally disadvantaged children in high-poverty schools, would be cut by $1.97 billion, reducing or eliminating services for 2.7 million high-risk children. According to First Focus, from 2008 to 2009, the number of America's children that live in poverty grew by close to 2 million. In 2009, child poverty reached a level of 20.7 percent – a rate of more than one in five and totaling more than 15.5 million children. This makes Title I funding even more important, and cuts even more dangerous, as without these resources, far too many children will not have the supports they need to succeed.
- Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) state grants would be slashed by $1.56 billion, dropping the federal share of special education funding from 17 percent to less than 15 percent, far short of the federal commitment to cover 40 percent of the costs of educating students with disabilities. The cut in IDEA funding will shift to states and local districts the costs of educating 798,000 students with disabilities, therefore, increasing local tax burdens.
- Pell grants would be cut by $3.15 billion, making it more difficult for low- and middle-income families to pay for college. These cuts would eliminate or reduce aid for 847,000 students.
Moving backwards on education funding would be devastating for our students, our schools, and our nation. We strongly urge a NO vote on HJ Res 38.

Meet Zhang Xin, a Chinese real estate mogul who's richer than Oprah
Beijing (CNN) -- Zhang Xin grew up in poverty and at the age of 14 began a laboring job in a factory. Today, she is richer than Donald Trump, Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey.
Zhang, a Chinese real estate developer, is the seventh richest self-made woman in the world, worth $3.6 billion, according to Forbes. She's worth $800 million more than Oprah Winfrey, the world's best known self-made female billionaire.
Not only does Zhang's rags-to-riches story mirror that of China itself, but it is Zhang who has shaped much of the country's modern urban landscape, with the logo of her company SOHO China on the side of buildings wherever you turn in Beijing.
SOHO China has 18 developments in Beijing, many of them landmark buildings, and has recently expanded to Shanghai, where it has bought or built 11 properties.
Two of her Beijing projects -- one completed last year and another under construction -- are designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid.
Zhang, 47, was born in Beijing just before Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, when educated people like her parents were sent to the fields for "re-education." She returned to Beijing with her mother, but they endured poverty and hardship.
"I was born and grew up when the city was very quiet: no cars, no shops, no lights, no machines. People were just on bicycles," she said.
At 14, she and her mother moved to Hong Kong, where she spent five years in low-paid factory jobs, manufacturing toys, clothes and electronics, trying to save enough to go to England for an education.
"As a new immigrant to Hong Kong with no education, no background, didn't even speak the local language or dialect, Cantonese, and it was just a hard way to live in Hong Kong," said Zhang.
It took Zhang five years to save enough for a plane ticket to London and an English language course. She won a scholarship to university, studied for a master's degree in economics at Cambridge University and landed her first job at Goldman Sachs in New York.
Instead of remaining in her comfortable life in Wall Street, Zhang returned to Beijing, where she met her husband, and together they started SOHO China.
"There was excitement of people talking about how to change China, and it was a very intellectually vibrant time," she said. "I felt that this country was really making a transition, and I wanted to be a part of that."
Since Zhang and her husband, Pan Shiyi, formed SOHO China in 1995, it has become China's largest commercial real estate developer, with 56 million square feet in prime developments in Beijing and Shanghai.
While Zhang's story is incredible -- giving her celebrity status in China -- it is not unique. Of Forbes' 2013 list of 24 self-made female billionaires, six are from China (including one from Hong Kong), more than any other country outside the United States.
"I think women of our generation went through Cultural Revolution, went through hardship, coming from nowhere, and suddenly see China's amazing opportunity," said Zhang. "So women just seized the opportunity."
Zhang has a following of more than 5 million on Weibo, the Chinese social media site often compared with Twitter, where she shares her views on business, current affairs and architecture.
But despite her financial success, Zhang, who practices the Baha'i faith, avoids excessive trappings of wealth, even suggesting her 14-year-old son find a job in McDonald's or KFC. He tried, but was too young to be accepted.
"It's not easy to be my sons because we're very high profile. We try so hard to give them a normal life," she said.
"I'm very, very tight with them about money. I don't give that money until they ask, 'I need 100 yuan for my lunch card,' and so on. So they never have extra money. But I think that still cannot compare to how we came, where we came (from)."

AK, CA, NM, ND and OK Receive Federal Funds
Washington, DC (September 14, 2012) — The U.S. Department of Commerce today announced the winners of a grant competition to spur job creation and economic development in states with large American Indian and Alaska Native populations. Approximately $6.6 million in Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) funds is being invested with local entities to operate new MBDA Business Centers in Anchorage, Alaska; Fresno, California; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Bismarck, North Dakota; and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"Today's announcement builds upon the Obama administration's commitment to economic growth and job creation in Indian Country," said Acting U.S. Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank. "The new MBDA Business Centers will provide minority entrepreneurs and businesses with the expertise and tools they need to compete globally and create good paying jobs in America."
The primary objective of the MBDA Business Centers is to provide strategic business consulting services to minority-owned firms that will result in the creation and retention of jobs for Americans through business growth. This is accomplished by increasing the domestic and global competitiveness of minority-owned firms in accessing contracts, capital and markets.
"Under the leadership of President Obama, MBDA has achieved new heights in serving the minority business community," said MBDA National Director David A. Hinson. "Since 2009, MBDA has facilitated nearly $12 billion in contracts and capital for minority-owned firms and we have expanded our footprint to new locations by streamlining our administrative operations."
The following entities will receive federal funds over a five-year period to operate an MBDA Business Center:
Alaska: Native American Contractors Association, $1,275,000
California: Asian, Inc., $1,500,000
New Mexico: American Indian Chamber of Commerce of New Mexico, $1,275,000
North Dakota: United Tribes Technical College $1,275,000
Oklahoma: Rural Enterprises of Oklahoma, Inc., $1,275,000
Anchorage, Alaska; Fresno, California; and Santa Fe, New Mexico, are new geographic locations for MBDA and were selected to serve the high concentration of American Indian and Alaska Native firms in the area. By expanding the MBDA footprint, more minority-owned firms will have access to MBDA and its portfolio of strategic partners in the public and private sector.
The introduction of these five new MBDA Business Centers completes the Agency's recent effort to phase-out its three distinct business center grant programs and replace them with one consolidated, redesigned MBDA Business Center program, first introduced in 2011. Under the redesigned program, the centers in these locations are expected to address the unique economic challenges and opportunities in Indian Country and Native Alaska while also serving other minority-owned firms in the state and surrounding area. The redesigned MBDA Business Center program also eliminated geographic boundaries so the distinct expertise of these former Native American Business Enterprise Centers can be accessed by minority business owners from anywhere in the country.
A complete listing of all MBDA Business Centers, their unique capabilities and contact information can be found at www.mbda.gov.
About the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA)
MBDA, www.mbda.gov, an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, promotes the growth and global competitiveness of the minority business community, making them better equipped to create jobs, impact local economies, and compete successfully in domestic and global marketplaces. With a nationwide network of 40 business centers and a rich portfolio of strategic partners, MBDA assists minority entrepreneurs and business owners with consulting services, contract and financing opportunities, bonding and certification services, building business-to-business alliances and executive training.

Get Your anabolic ciklus ovdje
Odaberite vaš cilj ispod za prilagođene ciklus i stoga preporuke.
Kupnja steroids from Spain is tempting for many, mainly because of the cheap prices.
Despite the various kinds of anabolics available from this country, many suppliers are rife with counterfeits.
And the risk is two-fold:
Not only do are you putting your money at stake, you're potentially putting your body in danger.
Ispod, we cover the basics of ordering these products from Spain for those looking to minimize their dangers.
But the only way to avoid these downfalls altogether is to invest in legal, prirodne alternative. Kupiti pravni steroidi online ovdje.
Tablica sadržaja
A quick glance of the steroids in Spain will present you will many different choices.
Općenito, knowing the common steroid names and chemicals will help you a great deal when choosing products.
Najpopularniji su:
Within these categories, you'll find that there are common brands among both underground and pharmaceutical grade products.
And the main distinction is price range:
Pharmacy grade products will run you the highest, while underground lab products will be much more affordable.
The trade-off?
Underground steroids are created without adhering to any sort of quality control procedures. This is contrary to pharmaceutical grade products, which are designed to be as identical in composition as possible.
But here's the thing about online ordering:
Many pharmaceutical products are simply labelled as such. There's a high likelihood that once you receive them, you'll find that they're actually of lower quality or completely fake.
And in a country like Spain, where laws surrounding steroid use are extremely hazy, you can expect this to be a situation that you're highly likely to find yourself in.?
The defining characteristic of Spain's drug laws is haziness.
Ne samo to, but some of their laws conflict with each other.
Take this for example:
They have no class list that draws a line between psychotropic substances and narcotics. This means that steroid use could be treated in the same way as cocaine and other hard drugs.
Then we have law 17/1967, which says that the possession and use of drugs is illegal. Međutim, it goes on to say that they're legal when used therapeutically. It also doesn't label use and possession a criminal offence.
And things get even more contradictory:
Organic Law 1/1992 says that when using drugs in public, even if you're not selling, you can be charged with a criminal offence.
Kazna? A fine of between €300 and €30,000.
With so much contradiction within their legal system, suppliers have more opportunity to get away with selling steroids, especially counterfeits.
And for you, the buyer, things can get scary because you never quite know how strictly you're going to be punished.
Given what we've covered above, you can guess that we suggest not buying any steroidi za prodaju from Spain—it's just not worth the legal and health risks.
But some people are hard to convince.
Ako ste jedan od tih ljudi, at least take the tips that we've listed below into consideration before making a decision.
Nakon što primite vaš proizvod, there's a couple of quality control checks you can do.
The first is to look for a region of the product with a bar code and info on the drug. Another marking to keep an eye out for is braille letters on the face. Some products have this and it's an indicator that it was legitimately manufactured in Spain.
A final check is a price in Euros and Pesetas. All drugs created in Spain after 2002 will have this on the box—usually the sticker.
naravno, you can skip all of this hassle and invest in natural steroid alternatives, which come with quality and results guarantees.
Perhaps the most popular supplier of legal steroid alternatives is CrazyBulk.
Pomoću potpuno prirodne sastojke, they offer products that are designed to provide similar effects as synthetic anabolic drugs.
Na primjer, D-Bal targets the nitrogen retention that underlies muscle growth similar to Dianabol. Then we have Testo-Max, which boosts your luteinizing hormones to naturally increase your body's testosterone levels.
I ovdje je najbolji dio:
They all come with some great guarantees—things you'll never find in the realm of anabolic steroids.
Neki od tih su:
They also regularly offer promotions throughout the year, uključujući i "kupiti 3 dobiti 1 besplatno" deal that is applicable to all of their products.
"Noticed strength gain right away, very good products," said Peter of D-Bal and Trenorol.
"Povećanje snage, smanjenje tjelesne masti, mišićne razvio," said Tom of his experiences with Anvarol.
Other feedback is similarly positive. Any negative feedback is typically focused on mistakes with the ordering process—something that CrazyBulk seems to address immediately.
Dno crta?
Kupnja steroids from Spain just isn't worth it. With legal options like those offered by CrazyBulk, you can invest in performance boosters that come with guaranteed results.
And that's rare in this industry:
With so many empty promises and unrealistic claims, finding products are come with so much confidence is something that is a good sign for you and your bodybuilding.Australija pravne steroidiKupi steroidi AustralijaKupi steroidi KanadaKupi steroidi OnlineKupi steroidi UKKanadski steroidiIrska steroidiMeksički steroidiJužna Afrika steroidiSteroidi AustralijaSteroidi KanadaSteroidi za prodaju UKSteroidi FrancuskaSteroidi IndijaSteroidi u ItalijiSteroidi u MeksikuSteroidi Novi ZelandSteroidi ŠpanjolskaSteroidi UKSteroidi SAD-a

Rockaway Music and Arts Mission
Art plays a vital role in our daily lives. Not only does it help us to communicate a range of messages effectively but it also brings us together as a community as we get to appreciate the beauty of co-existence and the diverse cultures and traditions that we pride ourselves in. In that case therefore, the element of performing and visual arts is not just something that you can choose to overlook in any respect. You have to demonstrate support to such performances because they put forth the best of what cultures across the globe have to offer.
To be able to lead people into appreciating the whole essence of performing arts, you also have to be part of the whole process. You need to be supportive of performing artists in your locality. So, how do you get to achieve this? Of course a lot of commitment is required from your side and this will not be achieved by playing a piano having a cup of coffee at your backyard. You have to get out there and show your support for what people are doing to advance and enhance cultural diversities.
If you want people to buy your idea of supporting performing, literary and visual arts, you ought to demonstrate your abilities as a leader. One of the most important aspects to bring forth is to try and listen to the people you are leading and get to know what their views are. This is not just the normal kind of listening since you have to be keen and get ideas from people who have got high potential around you. Therefore, the aspect of bringing people on board so that they can start appreciating the relevance of performing arts starts with active listening.
Not many people will buy your idea of supporting the arts if you are not encouraging them. You need to do this if you truly want people to appreciate what you are offering them. Its gives them encouragement every other day. Again, it is one of the most significant human needs.
Since you are acting as a leader in this case, you have to understand and appreciate the possible outcomes that might occur in your specified area of control. This is where the distinction between good and bad leadership starts to become apparent. Since you are aiming at making people start to appreciate the relevance and importance of performing and literary arts, you should not expect that everyone would be receptive of your idea. Some would object and if that is the case, you still have to learn to appreciate and accommodate them.
As much as in many parts of the world performing, visual and literary arts are not of great essence, you have to make a bold decision to approach the challenges that might come your way. Promoting arts works in more or less the same fashion as promoting any other kind of a business. As such, you have to make sure you are making the right decisions. The right and informed decision will increase your chances of achieving what you set out to achieve in the first instance.

Do you own a smartphone? Flip it over. What do you see? Maybe there's a hole for a camera, a company logo, and some FCC disclaimers? Do you see the cool design of a case you bought for it? Either way, it's essentially inert. But for Greg Moon and Yashar Behzadi, it was an opportunity to do some clever design.
"We both like strong imagery, and we were running with the idea of electronic, persistent visual personalization in a physical object," says Moon, and the pair had been throwing around ideas for what that could be. "We were walking back from lunch, musing, 'Where is there a big, flat piece of real estate that we could visually configure?'"
Behzadi first realized the answer: the back of a phone. From there, they created popSLATE, a case for the iPhone 5 with an e-ink screen. The innovative device is being launched on Indiegogo today.
The e-ink screen that popSLATE uses is the next generation of screens that are at the core of e-readers like Amazon's Kindle or the Kobo. Like all e-ink screens, it only consumes power when the display is changed. This allows for an always-on ambient visual interface.
What can you do with a second screen on the back of your phone? A lot, it turns out.
The most basic application is personalization. You can put pictures there and other people can look at them. This is where Moon and Behzadi started, and they say that in early user testing people showed a lot of enthusiasm for the ability to change the look of their phone on a whim. But during these exchanges, people would volunteer ideas and feature requests that dramatically expanded their thinking.
"Our thinking really blew up when we realized that it was much more than a picture platform — that 'always on,' in fact, represents a totally novel smartphone use model," he says.
The next level beyond putting your own pictures on the back of the phone is putting someone else's there, and popSLATE includes a photo-sharing back end to enable that. From there, it's a short leap to displaying notifications, maps, to-do lists, speaking notes, and anything else you can imagine that would benefit from an ambient or glance-able display.
Here's why this is cool: To conserve battery life, normal phone displays have to turn themselves off when they aren't in use. Phones don't know if you're looking at them, so they guess by using interaction as a proxy for attention. That's fine for interaction modes where we are deeply engaged and swiping and tapping to our heart's content. It's less good for situations where we want to prop the phone up and glance at it from time to time.
Typically, when a notification arrives, your phone chimes, lights up the screen, and then disappears until you physically turn on the device. When you're reading something, if you take too long to turn the page, the phone might decide that you're gone and turn itself off. Thanks to the e-ink display, the popSLATE allows for the opposite interaction. It'll sit there patiently displaying the same screen until the end of time, unless you tell it otherwise. If you're doing something where you want keep glancing at your screen without having to touch anything, like cooking, doing exercises, or glancing at driving directions, this is amazing.
These functions are part of what make e-readers so effective and popular. But what's clever about the popSLATE is that you get the simple benefits without adding another gadget to your life. By attaching itself to the iPhone it skips over the question of fighting for a place in your pockets by becoming part of something you're already carrying. It acts as a symbiote, piggybacking on the iPhone's capabilities.
The piggybacking that popSLATE does runs deep in the product, says Behzadi. Through the iPhone's Lightning connector, it borrows power to change the screen, as well as enable all of the sensors and connectivity that the device has. One of the most clever tricks is how they detect taps on the back.
popSLATE has no sensors of its own. Instead, they use the iPhone's accelerometer. When the phone is face down and the accelerometer detects movement, their app interprets that as a tap. "You rarely have the phone on the back side so we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of that," says Behzadi.
"We're also borrowing from what people already do," he says, "We're taking advantage of a well-established base of users and functionality."
"People often have two social worlds," says Moon. "There's the brick-and-mortar social world and virtual social world. By piggybacking you traverse both of those. On the front of the phone you are sharing virtually. On the back side, you are taking it into the real world, where people can see it and talk about it."
The team is looking to continue to take advantage by offering an API for other app developers to hook into, so they can display myriad things on the back screen. As an example, Moon imagines the popSLATE could support a reading app that displays text on the e-ink display in bright sunlight and on the iPhone's regular display at night. (Are you listening, Marco Arment?)
Moon and Behzadi are dedicated to testing out their ideas in the world. Long before the technical design was completed, they created a mock-up. "We used a $2 clear phone case, some tape, and a collection of black-and-white laser prints amateurishly cut to size with scissors," says Moon.
With the prototypes in hand, they could pester family and friends for advice and feedback. "After exhausting friends and family, we chased target users around Starbucks, Whole Foods, my kids' sporting events, wherever," says Moon. This approach perhaps reached its peak when the pair found themselves being escorted out of a mall by security who didn't like the way they were approaching people with clipboard in front of an Apple Store. "By the time we reached the parking lot, we'd asked the guy escorting us what he thought about it," says Behzadi, "He thought it would be pretty cool."
"Sometimes we'd use a subtle approach, simply setting the mocked-up case in plain sight," says Moon, "People would take notice and spontaneously ask questions."
Moon describes this kind of user research as ethnography. "It was sort of ethnography for ourselves too," he says, "Knowing you can change the image at will makes an image feel stale pretty fast."
Once they'd done enough early testing that they were convinced that they had something good in their hands, they approached E Ink to discuss a partnership. Their timing couldn't have been better.
"We went to them with the idea, and they happened to be developing something amenable to exposed use on the phone," says Moon. The screens are laminated in Gorilla Glass and will withstand the same shoddy treatment that the front of your phone gets. Moon thinks that this next generation of e-ink screens is partially a response to a declining e-reader market in the face of low-end tablet sales, as E Ink looks for new places where their product can thrive. He suspects that they're looking to partner with handset makers and integrate the screen directly into future devices. In the meantime, popSLATE will act as a showcase of the possibilities.
popSLATE has angel investors and their IndieGoGo goal is a relatively modest $150,000. Moon says that the launch is more about an opportunity to to get input from an even wider audience of potential users. He sees it as another step in a process begun with their $2 transparent cases and laser-printed mock-ups.
He says it's part of a larger spirit of sharing that he sees sweeping Silicon valley.
"Even a few years ago, it seemed unheard of to throw ideas out to the world very early in the process," he says, "Now it's very viable and takes advantage of the best in the community to quickly develop products that the people will love."

It has been awhile since I posted to this blog, but I just had to share this story. This morning as I was perusing my Google Reader items, I came across a blog post from the Wheaton College Archives & Special Collections blog. The blog post discusses a hymal of gospel songs originally published by Richard Allen, founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, that was republished in the book Gospel Pearls by the National Baptist Convention Sunday School Publishing Board.
Given my experience with the African-American history of Nashville, I immediately recognized the name of the company as it was founded here in Nashville and I've read many a newspaper article about them and their employees; I've even visited the grave site of the company's founder, Rev. Richard Henry Boyd.
As I kept reading the blog post, Nashville is never mentioned, but then I read the name of the woman who compiled Gospel Pearls — her name was Willa Townsend, and she even included one of her own hymnals in the publication. I recognized her name immediately too as I'd done some work on Willa's family tree as I'd been contacted a couple of years ago by descendants of hers who found me via this blog. Willa Hadley was married to Dr. Arthur Townsend, a graduate of Meharry Medical College. A notice of their marriage appears in the 1902 issue of the alumni newsletter of Meharry, available on their website.
I cannot wait to share this new information with her descendants!

Qualified Plan
An annuity that one buys along with one's employer. That is, the annuitant and his/her employer both make tax-deferred contributions to the plan for a certain period, with withdrawals coming upon retirement. If the annuitant begins withdrawals before a certain age, withdrawal penalties apply. One may continue to make contributions until a certain age, usually around 65.
qualified plan
An employer-sponsored tax-deferred employee benefit plan that meets the standards of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and that qualifies for favorable tax treatment. Contributions by an employer and an employee accumulate without being taxed until payouts are made at the employee's retirement or termination.


text: I have noticed today and yesterday that the forecast here, and other places I check frequently, both predicted westerly winds almost all day long. Yesterday afternoon the winds turned south east prolly @ 10mph+ similar to how they do in the summer and today they turned east earlier in the day but have remained light. Is there a particular reason why winds are so difficult to predict along the coast? I also forget why the SE winds pick up in the summer I know it has to do something with the land warming up or something, can anyone provide an explanation? Thanks

Groups round on agency for failing to comply with law for over a year
Steve Watson
July 20, 2012
Several watchdog groups have joined forces to demand that the TSA comply with a now year old federal appeals court order to conduct a public comment process with regards to its use of so called naked body scanners.
In July of 2011, The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the TSA had violated federal law by rolling out radiation firing body scanners in airports without soliciting public comment. The court noted that it would allow use of the scanners to continue, but that the TSA should " act promptly" to initiate the legally required notice-and-comment rulemaking procedure.
A unanimous three-judge panel ruled that the TSA's failure to provide notice and allow sufficient time for comment before adopting the technology as a primary passenger-screening tool was unlawful.
Specifically, the TSA's actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires federal agencies to provide notice and opportunity for comment when implementing a rule that affects the rights of the public.
Judge Douglas Ginsburg found there was "no justification for having failed to conduct a notice-and-comment rulemaking," and said, "few if any regulatory procedures impose directly and significantly upon so many members of the public."
The TSA had argued that it "should not have to stop every five minutes for comment and rulemaking", and that it did not have the resources to do so in any case.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), which originally brought the case, has now filed a mandamus petition with the Court in Washington, DC to demand the beginning of a public comment process.
In the petition, EPIC notes that the agency's delay in acting poses risks to travelers, defies the Court's authority, and is flat out unlawful. EPIC asks the court to require that the TSA receive public comments within 60 days or that it suspend the body scanner program altogether.
EPIC has also submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the TSA, in order to ascertain whether the agency has any intention of affording the public the opportunity to comment on the scanners.
EPIC has previously argued in court that body scanners are "invasive, unlawful, and ineffective," and that the TSA's deployment of the devices violated the U.S. Constitution and several other federal statutes. The rights group is pursuing a case to completely suspend use of the scanners in airports.
EPIC has received support for its action against the TSA from The Competitive Enterprise Institute, which issued a brief that argues that the TSA's claims that it does not have the resources to comply with the public rulemaking process are entirely bogus:
"If the TSA is unable to manage its tremendous budget of nearly $8 billion in a manner that enables the agency to follow well-established laws, this Court is obligated to exercise its authority to compel the agency to follow duly enacted laws." the brief reads.
"Curiously, the obstacles responsible for the TSA's delayed rule-making here do not appear to have forestalled the agency's aggressive deployment of AIT scanners in airports nationwide." it continues.
"This course of conduct is hardly indicative of an agency so starved for resources that it cannot comply with a straightforward judicial mandate within one year. Moreover, the TSA's purchase of hundreds of new scanners after this Court's July 2011 decision in EPIC suggests the agency intends to continue doing as it pleases without regard to public input or duly enacted laws."
CEI and EPIC have also been joined in their calls by The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and The Cato Institute.
Jim Harper, the director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute, has issued a petition to the White House on the matter.
"The public deserves to know where the administration stands on freedom to travel, and the rule of law." Harper notes.
"While TSA agents bark orders at American travelers, should the agency itself be allowed to flout one of the highest courts in the land?" Harper adds.
The federal government has invested close to a billion dollars so far into a fleet of 800 scanners, and the TSA has outlined plans to buy nearly 1,000 more in the next two years.
The TSA is continuing to roll out more full body scanners in airports across the country despite the fact that a recent Congressional report concluded that the agency "is wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars by inefficiently deploying screening equipment and technology to commercial airports."
Another recently discovered Homeland Security report noted that federal investigators have "identified vulnerabilities in the screening process" involving the scanners.
The reports provided a basis for renewed investigation of claims made in March by Engineer Jon Corbett who posted a video of himself demonstrating how the body scanners can easily be bypassed.
The TSA initially responded to the revelations, describing Corbett as "some guy" who had launched a "crude attempt to allegedly show how to circumvent TSA screening procedures."
The agency failed to even address the fact that Corbett had proven the body scanners could be easily defeated, and then it threatened journalists not to cover the story.
Corbett has continued his efforts to expose flaws in the body scanner program by interviewing TSA whistleblowers who have admitted that the scanners routinely fail to pick up prohibited items such as knives, guns and powder designed to resemble explosive material. Corbett also recently testified in a congressional hearing on the scanners.
As we have previously noted, multiple other security experts have gone on record saying that the scanners are ineffective.

Posts Tagged 'No Countout'
Over the Limit Preview – Expect the Unexpected?
We are just over four hours away from the WWE Pay Per View Over the Limit from Raleigh, North Carolina, tonight and as things currently stand, we are only aware of what a handful of the matches are going to be. That is just one of the reasons why we should prepare to be surprised by what transpires tonight.
In the Main Event, John Laurinaitis must fight John Cena one-on-one with No Countouts and No Disqualifications and if Laurinaitis does not beat John Cena, he will be "terminated". And despite there being No Disqualifications, the WWE Board of Directors has ruled that any superstar interfering on GM Johnny's behalf will be "terminated" as well. You would think this means certain victory for Cena, right? Don't be so quick to write the General Manager off.
Let's not forget that this is the same guy that used Kevin Nash last summer to push Triple H's buttons and get the Board of Directors to put him in charge of the day-to-day operations of Raw in the first place. John Laurinaitis is most definitely a coward and a blowhard, but he is also a manipulative bastard. Expect for somebody not currently on the roster to help GM Johnny keep his job by beating Cena tonight. If somebody not on the roster helps Johnny beat Cena, they don't have a job to lose and thus have nothing to fear from the Board of Directors. Of course, GM Johnny would then undoubtedly reward his savior with a fresh contract.
There are three possible names that come to mind that we might expect to come to Johnny's aid.
The first name is Brock Lesnar. Lesnar "quit" the WWE a few weeks back, but nobody is buying it. We all know that's kayfabe. The question is whether this is going to be the moment for us to find out for certain that Lesnar has not left the WWE. It would certainly make sense since Cena survived Lesnar's beating at Extreme Rules and beat Lesnar in the only match he's had in eight years. That's not something I can see Lesnar letting stand. He'll be in the ring with Cena again at some point before his time with the WWE is once again over.
The second name is the Big Show, and I know what you're thinking – why would Big Show help Johnny after he was fired and humiliated on Raw this week? If it came down to it, wouldn't you help somebody you hated beat John Cena if you had it in your power to do so and it meant the difference between whether or not you got your job back? Big Show just might.
The last name that comes to mind is Batista. Rumors have been swirling since Wrestlemania that Batista was ready to come back to WWE and I'm sure Batista still believes he has some unfinished business with John Cena after their brutal rivalry two years ago that ended with John Cena hitting Batista with an Attitude Adjustment off of a car at Over the Limit 2010.
Any of the three are possible and just maybe we'll get lucky and everybody will leave GM Johnny to suffer the fate he's made for himself by being "The Undisputed King of Douchebags". And just maybe something unexpected will happen and completely blindside us, but if any of the three gentlemen in the above paragraphs turns out to be Laurinaitis' savior, I won't be the only one to have seen it coming. I'm predicting that Laurinaitis wins with outside help, but it goes against what I feel is best for the product, which is getting GM Johnny off the air and keeping him there.
In the two World title matches, really anything could happen, but I think at least one of the titles is going to be changing hands tonight and I think it'll be in the Fatal 4-Way with Alberto Del Rio crowned as the new champion. And while I could easily see Daniel Bryan getting the biggest win of his career and becoming WWE Champion, I'm predicting that CM Punk's six-month title reign will continue – at least for the time being.
In the World Tag Team title match, it's tough to tell what's coming. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger have been in contention for the Tag Team Titles since last fall, but they were never able to wrestle the titles away from Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne. However, Air Boom is no more and perhaps Kingston and Truth will not prove to be as strong of a union for Vickie's boys to overcome. I'm predicting that
And in the Diva's title match, Layla defends against Beth Phoenix and Layla is definitely outsized and I believe Beth is certainly a better wrestler, but Layla of course has a fighting chance and she did just capture the title in her return last month at Extreme Rules. This seems like a coin toss to me, but I'm going to pick Layla to retain.
There is also the pre-show match-up between Zack Ryder and Kane that will be broadcast on YouTube and perhaps being on YouTube will give the self-proclaimed "Internet Champion" some kind of home field advantage for an upset victory, but I wouldn't count on it. I'm going to give the nod to the Big Red Machine, who continues to be one of the best and most underrated performers on the roster.
Those are the six matches that we know of, but that certainly is not going to be the entire card. I expect some possible continuation of the war of words between Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes and United States Champion Santino Marella on Smackdown this week. Perhaps we'll see some sort of Champion vs. Champion match with Rhodes seeking vengeance after Marella shocked Rhodes with a roll-up victory on Friday. We're also likely to see one or two squash matches featuring the likes of Brodus Clay, Ryback, Lord Tensai or Antonio Cessaro. But this is the WWE and anything can happen. There is definitely some space on the show tonight for all of us to be surprised in one way or another.

Celtic increased their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to eight points with a 2-1 victory at Dundee.
Gary Mackay-Steven and Virgil van Dijk- with an absolute beauty – earned the points that keeps the champions on course to retain their title, Jim McAlister pulling one back with three minutes of normal time left.
The Hoops, smarting from their shock – and controversial – 3-2 defeat to Inverness in the semi-finals of the Scottish FA Cup at the weekend, were rarely troubled by the hosts, and from the moment Mackay-Steven gave them the lead, victory looked assured.
The winger served warning early on, chesting the ball down and firing a volley a couple of feet over the bar from the edge of the box after a corner was cleared.
Van Dijk was the first to test Dundee keeper Scott Bain, but his looping back-post header from a corner was comfortably gathered.
Celtic then had a big shout for a penalty when James Forrest went down in the box after Bain fumbled a corner, but the visiting fans' claims were ignored.
Leigh Griffiths shot into the side-netting, but on 34 Mackay-Steven got the opener.
Stuart Armstrong's free-kick was headed back across goal by van Dijk, and when the ball fell for the former Dundee United man on the edge of the box, he controlled it with his first touch, then walloped it into the top corner with his second in front of the visiting fans.
Forrest then shot straight at Bain from just inside the box as Celtic pressed for a second before the break.
Nir Biton curled a venomous 25-yard effort just wide after the interval, and Dundee finally threatened at the other end, but James McPake slipped as he unleashed his shot and Craig Gordon gathered easily.
Bain had to parry an effort from Griffiths, but the killer second goal arrived on 63.
McPake gave away a free-kick for a foul on Stuart Armstrong and van Dijk smashed home the free-kick – a near-identical copy of his goal against Inverness.
Dundee pulled one back on 87 through Jim McAlister to set up a tense finale.
The hosts counter-attacked down the right, and when Paul McGinn pulled the ball back, McCalister – racing into the box - buried it low past Gordon, who got a hand to the ball but could not keep it out.
But there was to be no equaliser and Celtic took a big step towards winning another title.

- Why di you choose the Connie? It checked all the boxes. The deal was great. Kawasaki are very reliable. The bike can be used as daily rider. It has the sports DNA and it can cruise along. It has saddle bags. The seating was comfortable- Particular joys or regrets? Haven't owned it that long. But I have a big smile for last few days.- Things you wish you'd known?None. I did my research. The bike has various mods available, but for me just the stock work fine. Its a bike that checks many boxes!- Pricing OTD? Are these bikes that move off the floor? Likelihood of getting a deal? (Interestingly, I have seen 2015 FJR 1300A's on sale, but 6th gear and ES has an appeal)?Pricing OTD depends on the dealer. Some places had lower MRP but the OTD was higher than other dealer. One dealer matched the lowest OTD and I got it from them. I think they have good deals available on the 2018. MRPS is about 11,500Appreciate your thoughtful input - THANK YOU!
I am looking at a new bike to replace my 2012 Ducati Multistrada. What I LOVE about the Multi:- Power: the 1200 has it, in abundance, and wherever you need it - Handling: when you throw it into a corner, it goes exactly where you want it to go - Ergos: I am 6' with a 32.5" inseam and I can ride the bike all day long- Styling: let's face it, the Italians can make a paper clip sexy- In the world of Sport-touring, it is firmly on the SPORT side, which is where want to be However:- Reliability: for a relatively new bike, it's not been reliable. I kind of expected minor problems too pop up. (but not larger ones like blown fork seals). - Cost: this is NOT a cheap bike when it comes too upkeep- Accessibility: it is also not easy to get my fat American sausage fingers in to do my own work; I don't do that a lot, but something simple like an oil change should be DIY, no?- Chain maintenance: certainly at a point where I would prefer a shaft, but I recognize there is a weight trade off - Wind protection: seriously, how can they not have this sorted. The buffeting and noise at 80+ mph is awful, in spite of numerous adjustments and screens. I am curious, especially from those who have owned both a Connie and FJR:- Why di you choose the Connie? - Particular joys or regrets? - Things you wish you'd known?- Pricing OTD? Are these bikes that move off the floor? Likelihood of getting a deal? (Interestingly, I have seen 2015 FJR 1300A's on sale, but 6th gear and ES has an appeal)?Appreciate your thoughtful input - THANK YOU!
Use the "SERACH" box. Plenty of info already discussed.http://forum.cog-online.org/other-motorcycles/time-to-move-on/msg334837/#msg334837
Bang for the buck....there is nothing like the C14. Buying a brand new leftover model ($10 to 12 grand)or a slightly used one ($5 to 8 grand) there are amazing deals to be had. Tons of aftermarket support, outstanding reliability, and a great motor and power train make this bike a great pick. Electronic suspension would be nice, cruise would be nice for sure, but I set my suspension up once the way I like it, put a throttlemeister on it, and with my ECU flashed there is no comparison. Amazing warranties available too!
If I had a different wife or no wife, I would buy a used Ducati ST3S. But with 4 bikes already, if I did that, I would have to sleep with one eye open and that's difficult to do.

Shakira's hips don't lie -- they're ready to have some babies.
The Latin singer said this week she's planning to start a family when her tour ends later this year and that her body is physically preparing to bear children with her boyfriend of nine years.
"My body feels like it is asking to reproduce, to have a huge belly and carry babies," the 32-year-old singer told Rolling Stone magazine. "And when the baby comes, I don't want to be in the middle of 100,000 projects."
U.S. & World
The "Hips Don't Lie" and "Beautiful Liar" artist also spilled that she's obsessed with the "mouth" and is seeing a 70-year-old Freudian psychotherapist in New York to find out more about her oral fixation.
"I've always lived through my mouth," the New York Daily News reported she told Rolling Stone.
"It's my biggest source of pleasure: what I say, what I sing, the kisses I give, the chocolate I eat," she said.
Shakira is currently touring the country performing off of her latest album.

Biofuels could provide a major income for Britain's arable farmers - but success will depend on the level of government support.
The independent Cereal Industry Review, published yesterday, also pressed for the grains industry to promote alternative fuel sources.
"Without doubt, biofuels will be a key priority area for grains and oilseeds and it's important to acknowledge the development of the new markets that there will be," Mark Ireland, a member of the UK farmers' union and review panel, told Reuters.
Currently the UK trails the rest of Europe in the production of biofuels, producing just 10,000 tonnes last year - compared with 100,000 tonnes for France and Germany combined.
In June the EU asked the UK to respond to a proposed directive on biofuel use. This would require that member states set a target on biofuel usage, intitially at two per cent, but rising to 5.75 per cent by 2010. However, poor co-ordination between the Treasury (finance) and agriculture ministries has delayed a response.
According to industry estimates, 700,000 tonnes of biofuel is required to hit the two per cent target.
The review advises the use of more cereals and oilseeds for non-food purposes. Currently less than 0.1 per cent of transport fuel sales are made using biofuels.
The Cereal Industry Review was commisioned by the Home Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA), the country's chief grain marketing body ®

A few days ago I had an idea. Now this idea is probably wrong but maybe it isn't. If I am right about this then I want to be able to link to this post at some point in the future and feel a little bit smug. If I'm wrong, which I probably am, then this post will fade into obscurity among the millions of other worthless blog posts that get posted today.
Bitcoin has been around for a while now. A few nerdy types have been aware of it for a year or two and a lot more slightly nerdy types have been aware of it for a few months. The majority of normal people couldn't give a shit and even if you tried to explain it to them you would be faced with a blank stare. Bitcoin and associated crypto currencies are fairly straight forward once you get your head around the concept but let's face it, most people are imbeciles.
There seem to be two distinct camps among the people who (claim to) understand Bitcoin. There are the advocates who seem to believe in the idea with borderline religious zeal and then there are doubters who call it a ponzi scheme or a scam and think that the very idea will not survive the next "crash".
Some say we live in the information age. Some call it the disinformation age. All I know is that Bitcoin (or something similar) seems likely to at worst coexist with and even possibly replace the current system of fractional reserve based banking in the long term. We are heading towards a level financial playing field when it comes to online transactions and we already live in a world where offline transactions are starting to wane.
So surely all this is a good thing. The future of the global financial system might well be based on a decentralised, open source network, the creator of which is still anonymous. How could this possibly be a bad thing? The answer to that question is only a possibility. I am by no means certain about this. This is pure speculation.
I have followed alternative thinking or parapolitical thought or, if we are being honest, conspiracy theories for knocking on ten years now. As a Brit, it seems like the most vocal advocate of this type of thinking is David Icke. Obviously Alex Jones is a very famous American contemporary of Icke but his brash colonial commonness doesn't sit very well with my stiff upper lip. Either way they seem to spout a similar overall message: the world is controlled by a small number of people who are intent on hanging onto that control indefinitely. Wealth to these people is a birthright and they are fucked if any of us normal people are going to take that away from their children.
Call me a tinfoil hat wearer but as a (small and admittedly as yet not very successful) businessman I see no problem with this idea. It seems completely plausible to me that the world is essentially a business and that a few bosses control the many workers.
Anyway, there seems to be a consensus in the "conspiracy" community that the controlling force is shepherding us towards a world where there is one world government, one world army and one world currency. I am by no means a devotee of this way of thinking. I am extremely sceptical (with a c) of all points of view, including that of the tin foil hat brigade. But what if they're right?
The one world government and army are basically here already but the one world currency is not. There was a time when the Euro was doing well and other continental currencies seemed to be on the cusp of introduction, surely as a precursor to the consolidation of them all into a single global currency. Then we had the "credit crunch" and the subsequent near collapse of the Euro. It seemed impossible that the world could settle on a single currency. There was just too much instability in the various currency exchanges and markets.
And then a currency came along that united the world, seemingly free from the iron grip that the global elite has had since anyone can remember. This currency is going to free us all and bring about a revolution. The creator will surely become a messianic figure.
But who created it? A genius PHD student? Or perhaps the illuminati?
