Breach of Fayth0 Reviews
Isaaru and his comrades begin the covert operation to steal the fayth from Djose Temple, hoping to save it from Sin.
"Sir Auron, I must protest! You mean to tell me they're not even guardians? They should never have been permitted—"
"Neither are you, Father," Elma said.
The priest stood spread-eagled in the open doorway of the Chamber of the Fayth, blocking the workers who had been dismantling its ornate frame. "Your presence here is sheer outrage! Your men have ruined the Cloister of Trials, desecrated the fayth's very sanctuary! Why, it will take us years to repair the damage!"
"If there's anything left to repair," Pacce said.
"Hey," Maroda said. "Isaaru's communing with the fayth, remember? If you want your aeon in one piece, I respectfully suggest you shut up."
Elma, the summoner and his guardians were gathered around the fayth's statue, keeping vigil with varying degrees of awe. Lightning flickered, crawling the walls and tickling along the seams and rivets of armor like invisible insects. From the open doorway came the clatter of hammers and chisels, workmen's oaths. Yet Isaaru knelt with an expression of profound benison on his upturned face, oblivious to all disturbances. The benign, beaming smile of a summoner had slipped away, replaced by the shy, tentative smile of a boy catching his first glimpse of some rapturous vision that would anchor him all his days. A sheen of sweat lay on his brow, but for the first time since Besaid, he looked rested, whole, and at peace.
At last his eyes fluttered open. Auron, planted behind him, reached down to keep the younger man from toppling face first into the glass dome over the statue.
Isaaru nodded to him and stood, swaying. "It is done," he said. "The fayth understands and accepts. Father Kyou, I beg you to do the same. If there were any other way, believe me, I would never condone this extraordinary breach of holy ground."
"B-but, my Lord!" He clenched his hands. "What of the teachings? Crusaders are ever apt to abandon Yevon for rash schemes. Even maesters betray us. But you...you were the one who warned us that day, when we brought Sin's wrath upon us."
"Kyou, I remember. After Operation Mi'ihen, I swore an oath that I would vanquish Sin before any more lives were sacrificed to such folly. High Summoner Yuna postponed my vow, but it still holds." Isaaru met the man's distraught gaze with compassion. "But I cannot fulfill my vow if every aeon is lost. Three are gone. Four remain. We must save this one, so that I can save Spira. The temple can be rebuilt. Its fayth is irreplaceable."
The former Crusader wilted. "Yes, Your Grace."
"Blessings to you." Isaaru bowed to him, cupping his hands in Yevon's sign. "And thanks. I will need your prayers, Father."
"So now what?" said Elma.
"We must crack its seal and free the statue from its bed." Isaaru said. "Sir Auron?"
"The fayth asks if you would deliver the blow. He... trusts you."
Maroda snorted.
"Very well." Expressionless, Auron hefted the borrowed sword like a child's plaything. "I suggest that everyone stand back."
They retreated to the doorway, crowding into the next room with the workmen. Auron peered at the glass lens covering most of the floor, trying to gauge its thickness. Below lay a giant figure of a man pressed into a stony bed as if the mass of rock floating above the temple had magically been transferred onto his broad back. Auron brushed aside a pang of regret— the broad-bladed weapon tucked under the statue's arm looked to have the weight of the one he'd lost — and selected a point just past the apex of the shallow dome. His boots rang as he raced forward, leapt, and raised an ear-splitting shout timed to match the downbeat of his sword-stroke. Sparks flew. The blade snapped off at the tip, but the floor held.
Glowering at his reflection, Auron caught a glimpse of a different shape looming above him, four-legged, all bone and sinew and scars. Ixion, Yuna had named it. Ki-rin, to her father. Eyes like embers blazed.
Remember, guardian. Your power is to break things... and to free them.
He grunted. "Thanks." Armor Break or Magic Break? Probably both, if he could manage it.
A second time he charged, flinging out his free arm with a shout as he brought the sword crashing down. Reflected in the glass below he saw the aeon's horn arcing upwards, mirroring his swing. The sword exploded in a shower of glowing fragments. There was a brilliant blue-white flash that burrowed through skin, marrow, and nerve. Auron went sprawling as the floor collapsed beneath him.
Groaning, he extricated himself from blocks of crystal strewn across the floor of the shallow pit, covering the statue like broken chunks of ice. Pacce came running over while the others, recovering from dazed shock, began to file back around the room.
"I'm fine," he said, fending him off. "The fayth?"
Isaaru dropped to his knees at the rim, hands cupped over his heart. The chamber had darkened considerably: the pulsing glow of the floor faded when Auron broke through it. Now the lines of electricity arcing overhead were beginning to fizzle out one by one.
"Shaken," the summoner said, "but intact. Father Kyou, I need you to help me with the Hymn of Renewal, to sustain the aeon's spirit while—"
The chamber shook again with a thunderous boom, and concussion after concussion followed.
"Sin!" Maroda said. "Isaaru, we've got to get out of here!"
Kyou gave him a scornful look.
"No... no..." Isaaru said. "Have no fear. That's Lightning Rock closing its armor around the temple and its sleeping fayth. But we have little time and much to do. Commander Elma, we are in your hands now: it is time for your engineers to work their wizardry."
"Aye, my lord." She beckoned to her crew. "You three, finish up with the doorway and start clearing away the statue. Do not touch the fayth directly. The rest of you keep working on that wagon. Pacce, run and tell the rigging team we're ready for them."
The boy saluted and headed for the stairs, pushing through stonemasons and carpenters laying rails on the steps and assembling a heavy wheeled cart in the center of the guardians' antechamber. Auron trailed after him.
"Hey!" Maroda said. "Where are you going?"
Auron grimaced, flexing his glove-hand. "To find another sword."
They threaded their way back through the Cloister of Trials, its gleaming lines of current on the floor providing the only illumination. Decorative pillars had been removed, doorways cleared and widened, and piles of chipped stone and masonry lay scattered in careless heaps left by Elma's engineers.
"Sir Auron? Can you... do you sense Sin coming?" Pacce said.
"W-what about now?"
The youth sighed. "I almost wish it would just get here and be done."
Auron grunted. "Concentrate on the task at hand. Thinking about a foe you can't see won't help."
They had reached the landing at the rear of the Great Hall. Here the light was stronger, cast by dazzling pillars of electricity dancing like fountains over crystalline plinths. To Auron's eyes, however, they seemed dimmer. When he and Pacce descended the stairs, the few remaining clergy, scurrying about like rock-squirrels in the shadows, halted and looked up anxiously.
"The fayth confirms it," Auron said, voice booming out. "Sin is coming. Lord Isaaru and Father Kyou are securing the statue against attack. You have fifteen minutes to evacuate, by order of the high priest. Move!"
They scattered at once, snatching up bundles and rushing for the exit.
"Won't you get in trouble?" Pacce whispered. "I mean, Father Kyou never said—"
"Hmph." The white-haired guardian glowered over the wall of his collar. "Who's going to tell him?"
Pacce broke into a grin. "Not me!"
Auron nodded, resting a hand on his shoulder briefly. "Get going. Tell Isaaru I'll be outside keeping watch."
It was barely brighter outdoors. A heavy curtain of rain hung beyond the point of Mushroom Rock Ridge across the bay. Dark thunderheads formed a vast ceiling that stretched for miles, roiling over the temple like gravity-defying boulders. In the stony yard before the gates, soldiers were bustling to and fro. A line of monks, nuns, and temple orphans straggled towards the bridges spanning a narrow inlet between the temple and Djose Highroad. Dark silhouettes of Crusaders fenced the edge of the cliff, facing out to sea. The steep drop hid the bay from view, but a stiff wind scoured the eyes with salt.
Auron skirted the line of evacuees and trudged towards a brigade of soldiers standing at attention. Unlined faces, not a whisker among them: evidently Yevon was still recruiting children. Their captain was haranguing them in stern tones.
"...escorting them to Moonflow Village. You are authorized to engage Ochu, but don't waste men or time: your first priority is to protect civilians. Once there, erect a temporary lodge and guard the town until you receive the all-clear from Djose Command." Luzzu raised his voice over a smattering of grumbles. "Your mission is a vital part of this operation. I know that you're itching to fight Sin, and that's commendable. But I shall not be adding your names to Gatta's wall. If I find any of you trying to sneak into the front lines, you'll be demoted to cadet and sent to Clasko for four months of stable duty. Do I make myself clear?"
"Sir!" A wave of crisp salutes answered him.
"Dismissed. Yevon be with you." Standing confidently with arms folded, Luzzu lowered his voice as Auron walked up. "Everything in order?"
"Yes." Auron ignored the eager glances darting in his direction. "Everyone's evacuated except the high priest. He and Isaaru are securing the Chamber of the Fayth."
"Filling the whole temple with rocks, or what? I hope the commander returns some of my engineers to operate the lightning shield." Luzzu arched an eyebrow. "So what happened to you?"
Auron glanced down at the blood dripping from his sleeve and grunted noncommittally. Blood was preferable to pyreflies, but it still felt like a cheap counterfeit.
"Ah." Luzzu grinned wryly. "Something else the Lodge Captain isn't supposed to notice. So. Is there anything you need?"
"A sword."
"Good grief. I hope you'll fill me in after this is over." He nodded towards a small outbuilding next to the temple. "See the quartermaster in there; we're using the inn for stores."
"And... Sir Auron?"
The guardian halted testily.
"Sorry about your glasses."
Auron shrugged. "At least now everyone will stop taking me for Al Bhed."
"Ha. Hey, if you've got time afterwards, drop by the command lodge. I want to show you the bouquet I've picked out for an old friend. It's just her color."

Lost Boy
MyChildren MyBride
Christian metalcore outfit MyChildren MyBride's sophomore effort rises above its 2008 predecessor with a more adventurous approach to the genre. The basic tenets of the style (toneless screaming and staccato riffs layered over a foundation of tight, dry, double kick drum pedal bursts) are well represented on Lost Boy, but the machine screw production and tone-deaf melodic structures that often accompany those parameters are not. Guitarists Robert Bloomfield and Daniel Alvarado know how to grind out basic jackhammer riffs, but they also know how to take those riffs and bend them into something real, melodic, and surprisingly progressive. Standout cuts like "Hooligans" and "Redeemer" benefit from the old-school punk gang vocals, and producer Matt Goldman (Underoath, the Chariot) allots vocalist Matthew Hasting's voice (which is surprisingly effective and utterly devoid of Cookie Monster posturing) the room it needs to be heard, resulting in another strong outing for both the band and the increasingly "solid" Solid State Records.

Life Lessons from Disney?
Guest blogger pediatrician Dr. Gwenn says Disney movies can help you talk to kids about tough topics.
Pediatrician Dr. Gwenn says: With the startling news yesterday that Senator Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor, cancer is on the minds of most people today, including our kids. Very likely your kids will have questions, as mine did today at breakfast. Kids find "brain tumors" among the more frightening things that can happen in life - even more so than "cancer," it seems. My daughter, 13, had some great and tough questions about how a person can prevent cancer, like: Is this his fault somehow? and Will it hurt when he dies? And all this before my morning coffee!
Keep in mind that cancer has a way of striking close to home at the most unexpected of times. We learned that a few years ago when my dad was diagnosed out of the blue with prostate cancer. He's doing great now, but that diagnosis and treatment period was very challenging. I turned to one of the top experts in child psychiatry, Dr. Paula Rauch, MD, Director of Massachusetts General Hospital's Parenting At a Challenging Time (PACT) Program, to figure out how to talk to my kids about cancer and death --and Disney movies were one of the surprising things she recommended.
Disney movies have a wonderful way of providing something for everyone. but are sometimes criticized for content that may be too overwhelming for children - parents dying, natural disasters, and sickness in a friend or loved one. But there are important life lessons to be learned here. For example, after watching Bambi, my oldest daughter (then age 5) told us that Bambi's mother was now gone, but that Bambi would be OK because his daddy and Flower were around to help.
Dr. Rauch says, "Rather than 'protect' children from loss-related content, think of these movies as opportunities to discuss these topics with your kids. It is not protective to exclude children from the reality that people get sick, and that people and animals die. When parents 'protect' their child in this way, they only ensure that a child's first experience with loss will be more overwhelming."
Learning to handle bitter life moments is essential for savoring and appreciating the sweet. Disney's use of humor and grace to portray the more fragile and difficult aspects of life provides us with a blueprint for managing such aspects of our own lives. So next time you feel the urge to fast forward through a "tough" scene in a show, sit on the remote, hand out tissue, and allow your family to experience the moment together. As often as art imitates life, life will eventually imitate art -- and someday having watched that Disney movie together will help all of you enormously.

Rock and a Hard Place needs to give his a friends a friendly smack upside the head. Let me see if they understand this correctly: they can't be bothered to follow guild procedure to get raiding spots and then complain that they don't get raiding spots? Tell them that if they want to benefit from being with the guild, they have to actually make the effort to qualify for such benefits. Do they want spots in the non-progression raids? Use the event calender! Do they want spots in the progression raids? Have they tried, uh, asking to be included? Have they tried running a dungeon with the people in charge of the raids to demonstrate their skills? Tell your friends that they need to do some of these things if they want to get results, and to stop complaining until they have something legitimate to complain about.
Apocalyptic GM actually has the easier case here: his brother is being irresponsible and needs to suffer the consequences of his behavior. Demote him, semi-permanently. I say "semi" because you want to leave the option open for him to redeem himself if he straightens out his act.
I have actually done this. It seems to be working.
The whole issue really stems from the fact the two friends have 0 power in the guild. They are new, have not even completed the trial phase yet, I have and love the guild. They have been GM's, raid leaders, or officers for most of the last 7 years so they really struggle with being one of the regular folk, which breeds the complaining. There is always this feeling in the air that thy wouldn't do it this way or why do I have to do that it's dumb, I would't ask someone to do that.
I have learned a lot about these two friends in the past few weeks. They are wonderful people, great to play with and general good company but as far as WoW goes they are out for their own fulfillment first and not the good of a group or guild.

The eight seconds of McCain's deer in the headlights expression when asked what he thought about some insurance companies paying for Viagra but not for birth control pills was classic unscripted political theater. His response, basically was that he had an opinion but he'd have to look it up. And this man wants to be president?
Here's a transcript (see video from Huffington Post) of the exchange aboard his campaign bus, dubbed "The Straight Talk Express":
Maeve Reston of the L.A. Times: Earlier this week Carly (Fiorina) was meeting with a bunch of reporters and talked about it being unfair that insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control. And –
McCain: I certainly do not want to discuss that issue.
Reston: But apparently you've voted against-
McCain: I don't know what I voted –
Reston: Voted against coverage of birth control, forcing health insurance companies to cover birth control in the past. Is that still your position?
McCain: I'll look at my voting record on it, but I have, uh, (5 second pause) , I don't recall the vote right now. But I'll be glad to look at it and get back to you as to why, I don't –
Reston: I guess her statement was that it was unfair that health insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control. Do you have an opinion on that.
McCain: (after 8 second pause) I don't know enough about it to give you an informed answer because I don't recall the vote, I've cast thousands of votes in the Senate. I will respond to – it's a, it's a-
Reston: Delicate issue?
McCain: It's something that I had not thought much about and I did hear about her response but I hadn't thought much. But I will get, I will get back to you today on it.
Reston: Ok
McCain: I don't usually duck an issue, but I'm, I'll try to get back to you. (Fox News)
McCain has a memory deficit since he voted against mandating birth control insurance coverage in 2005. This doesn't seem to be a vote he'd forget. Call it a medi-gap in memory.
Female voters should be made aware of McCain's rather missionary positions on their rights to control their own bodies.
When he was asked a question with the political red flags Viagra and birth control be became befuddled.
Perhaps the kindest explanation is that his answers were a function of normal aging. Most people have moments like this more frequently as they age.
Or maybe this incident proves nothing more than that McCain is uncomfortable talking about sexual matters. It could be that he takes Viagra himself and had a twinge of anxiety that the reporter had some usually personal (except for Bob Dole) inside the zipper information she might bring up in her next question.
As likely as these possible reasons is the explanation that McCain isn't in the upper percentile of being intellectually adept when under pressure or feeling irritated. We've seen other indications of this in his remarks from "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" to throwing out the f-word.
I suspect McCain is, in his own way, as intellectually lazy as George W. Bush. I don't think he is either an analytic or profound thinker.
Since this story is as much about sex as it is about health insurance and McCain's squirming it is getting a lot of play on television. Unfortunately commentators are laughing about it rather than delving into asking more substantial questions about how it reflects on McCain. But at least as they replay the interview more and more people get to see it.
Hopefully some undecided voters will ask themselves whether the captain of the Straight Talk Express really has the type of intellect to be promoted to commander-in-chief.
Added 7/12/08 "Liar, liar, pants on fire": The nature and timing of McCain's divorce from Carol Shepp alienated key friends including the Reagans — and his version doesn't always match that in court documents. LA Times link
He's running in part on his history; but can we believe anything this candidate says?
We may never know whether he embellished his POW story. His veracity is thrown into question by his recent Pittsburgh Steelers incident (here's what the local paper had to say in "McCain's mind no steel trap in recalling Steelers": Sen. John McCain stuck his Terrible Towel in his mouth this week.). He really needs Pennsylvania to win so this IS a big deal.
Can we believe this story (from the LA Times article cited above): In 1974, Reagan invited McCain to speak at a governor's prayer breakfast in Sacramento. The former prisoner of war told the story of a fellow captive who had scratched a prayer on a cell wall. Ronald and Nancy Reagan were reduced to tears. It was "the most moving speech I had ever heard," Reynolds said.

Lillibet Get it up, keep 'em preggers.
Next they're going to outlaw women's "go to work" shoes, or whatever else prevents the state of "non-barefootedness" in the kitchen.
What's next?
Insurance paying for vasectomies, but not tubal ligation?
It won't matter, because we all know women have absolutely no right to control over their bodies, nor do they have any right to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Maybe women will be forced to don their very own chastity belts, and hide the keys from the hubbie.
Now, that'd teach them to treat women without health care parity to control their own biologic destinies.
Lillibet – welcome to an old pal. It's been a long time. Pollchecker: I am turning on MSNBC now hoping to see a video of this.
Read the rest of what happened from The Washington Post LINK
The media is starting to pick up this new wrinkle in how clueless McCain is about women's issues. Check it out here.
Maybe McCain is really a total prude and his mind goes blank when anybody brings up sex.
Speaking of sex, what's with his wife Cindy showing so much cleavage? (Here's the Google.) I wonder how the press would have reacted if Michelle Obama dress the way Cindy did in her appearance with her husband yesterday.

Hal — apparently it is more important that Obama said we should speak a 2nd language than it is that McBush doesn't know what he said or voted for…regardless of the issue.
Oh, and here is the new distraction….
"Sticking A Wrench In The Gearbox" – click here for article
Want to bet where this got started?(wink)
By July 25th, it will be refreshing to go to the movies and just watch the new X-files movie…(har,har)…you know…"THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!" (grin)
Well, whatever happens at the convention(s), barring martial law (and lot's of "I told you so" from the folks who are predicting this), the election will happen and a year or two after that (perhaps much sooner) we will know whose predictions about the candidates are right.
I think it is just as likely, perhaps more likely, that events and revelations prior to the convention will lead to McCain not being nominated than Obama being replaced by Clinton.
I bet that many of the Republican power brokers behind closed doors are lamenting that Romney isn't their candidate.
And I also bet Mitt himself watches MSNBC to catch the latest left-wing take on McCain's latest demonstration of his unhinged personality and is sorely tempted to tie one on.
McCain References Non-Existent Country Of Czechoslovakia — Again
Not that anyone would know this stuff since over 60% of the country doesn't know simple geography.
Lillibet Perhaps he was "assignating" more time to Cindy's cleavage and blue pill availability, than in studying geopolitical border assignations, err, assignments?
And Hal, nice to have the box on the desk communicating with CHB again. Nice job you've been doing.
McCain has a memory deficit
Not unusual for a 72 year old.
McCain is, in his own way, as intellectually lazy as George W. Bush. I don't think he is either an analytic or profound thinker.
He's not a thinker. He's not an economist. He's a butt kissing POTUS wannabe that has sold his soul to the Bushie neo-cons.
He is unfit to be POTUS and will no doubt lead our country into World War III.
UPDATE: Hal, perhaps the links to the articles below will shed some light on why McBush doesn't know what he has said or voted on.
Former Sen. Phil Gramm, a top economic adviser to presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, referred to the economic slowdown as "a mental recession" and called the United States "a nation of whiners."
Here's another one….
McCain's Adviser Salter Writes, Speaks and Fights for Candidate
Salter, 53, is his most trusted adviser, traveling companion, image-shaper, sounding board, wordsmith and defender. He weighs in on almost every campaign decision, and in McCain's absence, even speaks for the presumptive Republican nominee.
"Former Sen. Phil Gramm, a top economic adviser to presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, referred to the economic slowdown as "a mental recession" and called the United States "a nation of whiners."
—Is that anything like "nattering nabobs of negativity"?
They need to stop comparing apples to oranges.
The way it has always been explained to me is that Viagra is covered because it restores normal functionality while birth control is not covered because it prevents normal functionality. Although the argument could be made that it is normal for older men to have erectile dysfunction.
It is also my understanding that many companies will cover birth control if there is a medical reason to administer it other than to just prevent pregnancy.
Many fertility drugs are covered, which would be the real Viagra equivalent.
Why waste a question on this issue? Oh it's the corporate media distracting from real issues again. (sigh)
Why waste time on this issue? I guess that's easy for you to say. You are a guy. You can get the Viagra.
So insurance cos don't pay to stop pregnancy and don't pay to cover pregnancy (it's an extra charge)…but they pay for some old ass hole to get some young babe preggers?
The sexism in this country simply amazes me. It really is true that it would be easier for a black man to be POTUS than a woman, ANY woman, even without the last name Clinton.
The lie and cheat REpublicans are the biggest sexists in the Western World, second only to the Muslums.
But I believe Hal's point is that McCain can't remember what he said or even what he voted on less than 4 years ago. And he wants to be our next POTUS? Geez, give me a break.
Former Sen. Phil Gramm, a top economic adviser to presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, referred to the economic slowdown as "a mental recession" and called the United States "a nation of whiners."
Damn right. So what that 37 million people in this country are on the brink of starvation. Damn whiners. Damn useless eaters. And thank you to Phil Gramm for making sure Glass-Steagle was repealed making it that much easier for the housing bubble to inflate and to make it easier for taxpayers to bail out the likes of Bear Starns. Damn right Phill Gramm. Damn whiners.
— Kent Shaw
Pollchecker I'm sorry, but my wife and I just had a kid and insurance is paying for 90% of her hospital bills and covered her OB charges except for the co-pay. So they certainly do pay for pregnancy.
They won't pay for a vasectomy, but they will a medically necessary hysterectomy. Isn't this the same type of issue only in reverse to benefit women?
I think your calls of sexism are unwarranted.
Yes, McCain probably has trouble remembering what he ate yesterday. If that is Hal's point he had ample situations to show that. He didn't need to promote a hot button non-issue.
I am happy that you have insurance that pays for pregnancy. I have never had that luxury. When I needed it, it only paid for complications that required C-sections….is it a wonder that more and more c-sections keep being performed?
If men had to pay extra for pregnancy the way most women's policies do because after all without sperm …well that's another issue but I know you get my drift…then the entire pregnancy, birth control, abortion, etc etc issue would have been resolved a long time ago.
I apologize if my inference to you was taken as sexist. But that quote came FIRST from my 84 year old conservative father from Mississippi. I was totally flabbergasted that he said it but it only proves that we can still all change our positions over the years.
However, I agree that Hal's point was McCain doesn't even know his position, what he said, what he voted. And this is a serious contender for POTUS? Good grief!
McCain Campaign Initially Stood By Gramm Remarks
But in an initial statement published by Politico and then, seemingly, removed from its site, a McCain campaign aide actually stood by Gramm's remarks, saying the interview as a whole was merely meant as a preview of the Senator's economic agenda.
…Only after the fallout from Gramm's statement did the McCain campaign fully backtrack.
Here's one even better for you Hal (grin)!
Obama's a member of the intellectual elite and when he shows it too much he risks alienating some voters. I suspect McCain is a member of the social elite, those who think they are superior because they have money, position, power and connections… it sure seems that Gramm is.
Social Elitist…that's a good word for it….where they all stand around drinking and talking about how anyone who is white and poor is defective? That kind of talking? that it's ok to be poor and black, that's expected. and it's ok to be a poor mexican because hell, half of them are illegal anyways…but you have no excuse for being poor and white except lazy or a druggie. You mean that type of social elitist? Ok…talk to Karl Rove about that type of elitist…or even Jesse Jackson perhaps. For certain the entire Bush family knows about that type of elitist. I grew up listening to that crap!
In fact, ask Barbara Bush what type of champagne she likes best to drink out of her shoes after dinner (wink, wink). Wouldn't surprise me if Cindy McCain has enjoyed a sip or two as well. America doesn't get that type of social elitist, Hal. perhaps that is why they fall prey to it on a fairly consistent basis.
Here you go, Hal. You scooped the MSM on this one.
More troubling for the presumptive GOP nominee is that the video of his awkward exchange aboard the Straight Talk Express is getting wider attention from major media outlets (which apparently can't resist the Viagra angle). (above link from HuffPo)
It is sexier, hence bigger story than this will be:
"In Pennsylvania, McCain Tells a New Version of Heroic P.O.W. Story — Subbing the Pittsburgh Steelers for the Green Bay Packers" LINK; but such reported incidents of McCain's cognitive lapses seem to be increasing.
The commonality between this two goes beyond his not being mentally sharp. Both demonstrate he is trying to make sure that whatever he says will be either gain him votes, or not loose him votes.
Another Gaffe: McCain Unsure Whether Condoms Prevent STDs
The bus had been rolling for a half-hour and McCain was holding court on everything from Iraq to college basketball. ("Who woulda thought? VCU," he exclaimed upon boarding.) And then someone asked about public funding for contraception in Africa to prevent the spread of AIDS.
"I'm sure I've taken a position on it in the past," he stammered as he looked to his communications director. "I'm sure I'm opposed to government funding."
Sensing a vulnerable moment, reporters kept the questions coming. What about sex education in the schools? Should it mention contraceptives? Or only abstinence, like President Bush wants?
"I think I support the president's present policy," he said, tentatively.
More questions: Do condoms stop sexually transmitted disease?
A long pause.
A stern look.
"I've never gotten into these issues or thought much about them," he said, almost crying uncle.

While going over Dani Daniels' day with Johnny in her kitchen, the two do not notice Rilynn Rae slipping into Dani's house from the garage. She speaks up when she hears one of her favorite male performers names called out for Dani's gangbang. It turns out Rilynn is just a crazed fan and wants to be just like Dani and be friends. Dani was going to have Johnny kick her out until she had a better idea. What better way to prep for a gangbang by having a threesome?
Category Archives: Videos
Nothing But Heat
Dani Daniels and Ryan Ryans were relaxing in the pool on this clear, sunny afternoon. They began kissing and feeling each other up, so they moved the action inside where they'd be more comfortable. The girls took off their bikinis and started licking each other's pussies and assholes. It was crazy hot! Then Ryan licked Dani's sweet pussy from behind, as Dani had her round juicy ass in the air. It was another great day of living together.
Wet Wild Cleaning Service
Manuel Ferrara is a lazy bachelor, so when he saw the ad for the Wet Wild cleaning service, where sexy french maids come to you, he was all over it. The company sent him that big booty slut Dani Daniels, and she got to work, slowly teasing him, stripping out of her sexy little maid outfit, and getting her sexy body dripping wet. She crawled over to Manuel and sucked his fat dick, and then Manuel threw her on the couch and ate her tight pussy until it was dripping wet. Dani rode that cock, cumming hard and squirting all over the place as Manuel pounded her pussy right. Finally, she jerked his cock until she got the payment she came for… one big facial cumshot!
I Have a Wife
Dani Daniels sneaks over to Johnny's house for a quickie. That's when Johnny lets it out that he recently got married, so he can't continue his scandalous sex escapades with Dani. Dani doesn't care though, she snatches the ring off Johnny's finger and commences to fuck him anyway.
Naughty Country Girls
Dani Daniels and Seth are playing a game of horseshoes when Dani decides to go grab the waterhose and spray Seth with it. Seth isn't going to just let that go without any repercussions. He chases after her and sprays her in the face. The two embrace each other, then Dani decides that it's really time for her to get wet and leads Seth inside the house. Seth leaves Dani out of breath after they fuck, but leaves her pussy filled with cum!
Horny Hosts of Purgatory
When Johnny Sins opens his eyes and sees two hot nurses in sexy little outfits standing over his bedside, at first he's excited. But when one of the horny hotties lets him know that he's in Purgatory, it really puts a damper on his day. Lucky for him, Purgatory nurses Luna Star and Dani Daniels are there to make his stay as comfortable as possible! First they oil up his body, jerking his stiff cock, and revealing their gorgeous titties and big asses. Then, they all sucked, licked, and fucked each other, Johnny going balls deep in both their tight little pussies as they tongue-fucked each other's tight asses. Both those slutty nurses came hard on Johnny's dick until finally he unleashed a big creampie in Dani's tasty little twat that Luna licked up quickly. Maybe the afterlife isn't so bad after all!
Naughty Weddings
While Dani Daniels and Johnny are cleaning up after Phoenix's wedding that went wrong, they find a bag with no clue as to who it belongs to. They go through the bag hoping to see if they can identify the owner of it, and find more than they were expecting. They find a small whip, a blind fold, a vibrator, and a dildo. Johnny half-heartedly asks which one they were going to use first. Dani actually grabs the blind fold, drops down to her knees and starts to unbutton his pants. Johnny's glad that blind fold didn't take away all of his sense, because this wedding just got better!
Bush and Tush
This week, we had some super hot girly action going on with Dani Daniels and Riley Reid. They stayed over at Dani's place, and Riley really wanted to go out and do something. Dani was more in the mood to stay in, and get into some naughty action with Riley. It didn't take long for Riley to get into the mood once she started tickling and playing grab ass with Dani. Before long, they were tongue-deep in wet pussy. Don't miss out on these two dirty little nymphos sucking all their juicy holes while they moan for more and more. So hot!
Pussy Pumping
Dani Daniels got naked and went in the bath tub. She began playing with her sweet pussy and tits. It was crazy erotic. Then her roommate Aidra Fox got naked and joined her in the tub. Soon after, they were kissing, and Dani began playing with Aidra's luscious pussy. The girls continued the action in the bedroom, and things got buck wild. They licked each other's succulent pussies and assholes until they were both orgasming. It was another great day of living together.
Dani Daniels knows that her time is limited, so she's determined to have the most fun she can before she gets carted off to the slammer. And when you're a big shot like the Whore of Wall Street, that means one thing… an orgy! Dani invites all of her hottest friends over to her place for a pool party, and wastes no time getting down to business. Dani and Monique Alexander strip off their skimpy little bikinis and start sucking on every hard dick they can find. The two sexy sluts take turns fucking and sucking Xander, Keiran, and Mick's big cocks one by one and two at a time, cumming over and over as Dani takes all the pleasure she can out of her last moments of freedom.

I wonder what it's like to have someone fall for you, not just in a 'I wanna get in your pants' kinda way, but really fall for you. fall not just for your appearance but your personality too. I wonder what it feels like to have someone consumed in every little piece of you. the way you smile, the way you walk, just you. to everyone is love; you have no idea how lucky you are.

I'm going to spend the whole car ride thinking about your hand next to mine and even though I'll try, I won't be able to stop myself from taking it. Or from letting you kiss me. And we're never going to get to where we need to go, we'll just end up back here, where we started.
So, I tell my students: chemistry is about attraction and reaction…
Sometimes it's b e a u t i f u l, and just as often it's d e s t r u c t i v e.
and just forget the w o r l d;
"And it's because I love you that I can't be selfish with you."
I don't know what to do or say or think. All I know is right now I want to take you clothes off right in the middle of this hall and throw you in one of these classrooms kiss every square inch of your body while a bunch of people who buy minivans listen wishing they were us. That's probably a bad idea, right?

In nasty elevation trails I struggled more but that's user error. This thing is nicely executed. The description doesn't include it currently but of the 2 pieces that I bought (for my XC300 as well) both came with 3 mounting holes to allow you to adjust placement. I tried the rear setting & I'm going to move them forward to see if I have less occurrences of unintended breaking when my foot slips etc. I REALLY feel pretty good about spending this money & that's not something I can say oftenRead All Reviews

Looks great, with all the 3D CNC milling marks on it! Work very good with my size 12 Alpinestars Tech 8's. I sprayed some rubber protectant on the rubber boot of the rear master cylinder, so when you adjust the position. So you don't twist and rip the thin rubber boot, it will slide as you rotate the piston shaft while adjusting it.Read All Reviews

The perfect Vancouver base
Looking for an ideal Van base? You've found it here. Our Yaletown apartment was brilliantly situated, roomy and clean and a very short walk from great eateries and bars. False Creek ferries are a five minute downhill walk one way and downtown/north Van buses three minutes the other. If you are coffeeholics like us, the little art gallery cafe on Homer and Smithe is a gem. Building manager Oded will make sure you are well looked after. Heartily recommend this venue.
Lovely Condo
I definitely recommend this condo. Not only is it beautiful, it is extremely convenient. Everything you need is within walking distance. The grocery store, liquor store, drug store, Starbucks, and SkyTrain are all a two minute walk away. You don't even need a car if you only plan on visiting the Vancouver area. Everything in the apartment was clean and new. The shower head in the master bath was just amazing! Tom was quick to respond to any questions I had via text. All four of us were extremely happy with our stay.
A great pick!!
My girlfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend while taking part in a half marathon. The proximity to the sky-train and to the water to take the sea-bus made this a perfect location. Yaletown is lovely with many nice restaurants, bars and coffee shops!! The condo was beautiful and very clean and spacious. We took full use of the hot tub and sauna area and had it to ourselves every time! Very quiet location. Lots of amenities and the hosts were very easy to deal with :).

Northern Manitoba chiefs are upset with what they deem to be failure by the provincial government to ensure First Nations get a fair share of jobs and profits from mining activity.
Manitoba Keewantinowi Okimakanak (MKO) Grand Chief David Harper joined with Mathias Colomb Cree Nation Chief Arlen Dumas and Red Sucker Lake First Nation Chief Larry Knott on March 22 to give the province a failing grade.
�MKO developed frameworks to implement the Crown�s duty to consult more than 21 years ago and right after the Supreme Court�s landmark Sparrow decision,� said Harper, �the duty to is a priority in the MOU that MKO signed with Manitoba�s Mines Minister in 1999 and in the MOU with the Minister of Conservation in 2005. The province has failed to establish the Working Group processes promised in both of these MOUs.�
The chiefs met with federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver and asked him to pressure the province. Mention was made about a proposed uranium exploration project put forward by Chinese investors in 2008 in northwestern Manitoba that did not proceed.
�They were just going to hire two or three snowmobiles to transport goods into the mining site, but they were going to bring in their own workers to come do the work, which is totally unfair,� said Harper.
The group of chiefs said that the provincial government could take a lesson from their own hydroelectric Crown corporation. Manitoba Hydro is currently constructing the Wuskwatim Generating Station, west of Thompson, in partnership with the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN), which has a 33 per cent stake.
�Those are the types of things that give (us) the opportunity that we can succeed,� said Ron Spence, a band council member of NCN.
Manitoba officials say they are already working to ensure that aboriginal people will benefit from mining, and pointed to the San Gold mining operation near Bisset, Manitoba.
�The largest gold mine we have, San Gold, employs 50 per cent First Nations,� said Mines Minister Dave Chomiak, �and those 50 per cent are making six-digit figures.�
Manitoba and the federal government owe a constitutional duty to consult and accommodate First Nations whenever a proposed action or decision may result in an impact or infringement of an aboriginal or treaty right. Section 8 of Manitoba�s Interpretation Act requires provincial officials to apply all provincial laws so that aboriginal and treaty rights are not infringed.
�The province�s mishandling of the duty to consult is the main reason mining companies downgraded Manitoba to 20th place behind countries like Botswana and Chile,� said Chief Larry Knott, the province applies bare minimum standards on consultation and makes up the rules as they go, while trampling our rights.�
Knott also says that mining companies routinely bring in workers for exploration and development of the region�s gold, nickel and other minerals. The MKO want the Manitoba government to make sure any development includes guaranteed benefits for aboriginals.
Chomiak says that the government has boosted training for aboriginals through apprenticeship programs and a mining academy established last year in Flin Flon with HudBay Minerals.
�We know that in the future there is going to be thousands of people needed in the mining industry,� said Chomiak, �that�s why we�ve put in all the training opportunities; to ensure that people in the North and First Nations have an opportunity to get these jobs.�

Book Description:
Written for anyone who loves a good adventure story, "Lockerboy" is a realistic thriller in the style of such classics as "Journey to the Center of the Earth," "Treasure Island," and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." Here's a summary of the action: Chapter one: Martin McCarty's first day at a new high school, Diablo Valley High in the Nevada desert, after growing up in the redwood forests of California. He's 15, slender, moderately athletic, has a slight stammer when he's nervous, and possesses a dry sense of humor that's not loud or showy. His mother was killed a year ago in a car wreck, his father is sullen and struggling. On the bus to school he's given warnings from all the other kids about the monstrous, overpowering principal who rules by intimidation. Principal Spyr is indeed threatening. In his first class, when Martin jokes nervously with the teacher, the principal walks in to threaten him and the rest of the students. Martin's next classes are just as demeaning. At lunch he's met by an older student, Peter, who invites him to come over after dinner for some explanations. On the bus ride home Martin is befriended by a creepy little kid name Simon, who has been following him around during the day. Chapter two: That night at Peter's house Peter tells Martin the history of the school and its terrifying principal. The kids have figured out a way to deal with him (a group called the Lockerboys is mentioned), and Peter will tell Martin all about it if he can pass a test to prove his worthiness and loyalty. Chapter three: Martin's test. Martin succeeds but in his haste to escape the dark house he leaves behind a tell-tale clue as to his identity. Chapter four: Martin is told the rest of Peter's secret about the Lockerboys: they're the smartest, most talented kids who have chosen to escape underground. The area is honeycombed with tunnels and caves created by a tributary of the San Andreas Fault, and access is gained through a secret entrance. Martin enters and meets these guys and girls, all of them like young commandos. He is given a remarkable tour; he's also told how the kids live and about a tunnel the kids call Main Street, which they can use to leave the area completely when they want. Martin also hears about a subterranean presence known as the Lockerman, who is rarely seen and stays out of their way. Because his life up above is so bleak, and because he realizes he's left that identifying clue in Spyr's house, he decides to join this group and returns to the surface to gather a few things and leave a note for his dad. Chapter five: While at home getting ready to run away to the caves, Martin is joined by Simon, who shows up unexpectedly and pries for information. Martin feels sorry for the little outcast and has a long conversation with him, but eventually Martin chases him off and starts to write a letter to his dad. He enjoys a long memory about him and remembers his advice to think for yourself and not waste time because it could all be over instantly, as they've both learned from the death of Martin's mother. Chapter six: Martin sneaks back to the secret entrance and is about to go in when Principal Spyr surprises him. Spyr flings open the entrance and climbs in, dragging Martin with him. Martin and Spyr get separated underground and Martin, because he's already been there, knows where to go. During the thrilling chase Martin runs ahead and hides near the bottomless pit and throws his voice into it, hoping to lure Spyr below. Spyr, though, doesn't fall for the trick and is about to pounce on Martin when the grotesque Lockerman suddenly emerges from the shadows and casts Spyr into the pit. The Lockerman then disappears and Martin goes looking for the rest of the Lockerboys, now no longer stammering and fully confident in his abilities. Chapter seven: Martin underground, two weeks later. He's become a leader among the Lockerboys and has invented a way to make small oil lamps along the trails. We understand the wonderful system the Lockerboys have set up for gathering/distributing supplies and for helping each other. Martin teams up with a clever girl named Penny; they talk about running away to the Main Street tunnel and coming up on the surface somewhere far from the desert, where they'll then try to contact Martin's dad and hopefully establish a new life in a new school. Martin investigates the bottomless pit and realizes there's a way Spyr might have survived his fall. At different times Martin feels like he's being followed, and finally he finds out who it is, a scary scene that leads to a surprise. Martin addresses the group of underground kids and challenges them all to follow Penny and him out to the Main Street tunnel where they'll then escape to a new, better world together. Chapter eight: Martin has an idea and, just before everyone is going to leave the caves and march to Main Street, he runs back in to try to find the Lockerman. He finds him and puts together details he's picked up in recent weeks to arrive at a powerful conclusion about his identity. Earthquakes start to rumble through the caves and everybody heads out towards Main Street. There's a final encounter with Spyr as the earthquakes intensify and start to collapse all the caves. Chapter nine: For days the group walks the reinforced Main Street tunnel. Kids exit at different points and then all decide to exit together, except for Martin and Penny. They want to keep on going alone. After a few more days of walking they come to a small pod on a track. They ride the pod through the tunnel to its endpoint, and they climb a ladder that takes them up to ... an unforgettable ending.

An independent investigation has found a catalogue of police failings following a loyalist pub shooting in Northern Ireland when six men were killed. The Ulster Volunteer Force attack was in the village of Loughinisland, Co Down as drinkers watched the Republic of Ireland play Italy during the 1994 World Cup. Afterwards, police records went missing, the car used by the terrorists should not have been destroyed in the way it was, and detectives failed to properly examine the link with other attacks, police ombudsman Al Hutchinson said; but he ruled out collusion between the gunmen and police.

Window Covering Ideas for a Large Bow Window?
Good Questions
Q: I can't figure out a practical, budget-friendly, good looking window treatment solution for the large bow window in our family room. The woven roller shades on the windows right now are ok — and I wouldn't be opposed to keeping them up — but I'd like to add drapes or something to soften them up. I'm not concerned at all about blocking out light, but I would like to have some privacy at night — we are really on display when the sun goes down!…
Sent by Melissa
…I was thinking of sheers hung on a curve (?) across the inside of the window with a more substantial drapery panel (decorative only) on either side of the window hung on a rod above the window. The challenges as I see them are a) hanging sheers on the curve of the bow - I was thinking of IKEA's Kvartal system for that, but I've heard mixed reviews of it, and b) a built-in bookshelf that butts up to the window frame on the right side — this could make hanging a rod difficult, as well as make things look out of balance when drapes are hung there.
I can't emphasize the budget-friendly aspect of this project enough — I'm definitely on an IKEA budget here. Any ideas? Many thanks.
Editor: I think we get more window covering questions than anything else — who has ideas for Melissa?

I would replace the roller shades with relaxed roman shades. You could have panels made that have less fullness when in the closed position, then the stackback would not be so much of an issue. Grommet panels might be an option. In any case, keep the fabric on the lightweight side; no blackout lining or interlining.
You don't say if you own or rent - but I agree that those built-ins are a problem...
...if you own, consider installing matching bookcases on the other side of the window to balance this out (or removing them altogether) then mount a single rod outside the window bow on the soffit above the bow to support heavy lined floor-to-ceiling draperies.
I think it's fine the way it is. Don't crap it up with Ikea.
I love the look, actually.
Do you get a lot of traffic on your street that you're worried about privacy? It looks pretty quiet from what we can see in the pictures.
Can't you pull the shades down for privacy? If you really want to get some fabric up there you could put some hooks/brackets at the corners and center of the molding around the outside of the bay, then just get some muslim or other lightweight yardage and drape it over the hooks to frame the bay, extending to the floor on either side. If you used a couple more hooks in between, you could probably get the fabric draping nicely and sort of block out the tops of the roller shades, which are actually the only bad part of your situation. My friend had a rental with ugly sliders with ugly vertical shades she couldn't replace, and we hung a long piece of bright pink silk like this. It was a little short so we added a wide orange hem at the bottom on each side. It really improved things.
Thanks for the feedback. We own. We're not in a position to mess with the built-ins at the moment, but it would be nice to balance them with built-ins on the other side. Or to move them away from the window a bit.
Yes, I can pull the shades down at night, but when they're down the color is too much, they just scream "WE ARE HONEY COLORED WOVEN SHADES!" They were fine when I had a warm color on the walls, but with the blue/grey I don't think the shades work all that well color-wise.
I might try Roman shades. It's not that we get a lot of traffic, or that we're doing anything naughty in front of the windows, but at night we do feel rather...exposed. We don't need opaque coverage on the windows, but just something to diffuse the view.
I like it just as it is! Roller shades would totally be my choice.
I like it the way it is, too.
"Yes, I can pull the shades down at night, but when they're down the color is too much, they just scream "WE ARE HONEY COLORED WOVEN SHADES!" They were fine when I had a warm color on the walls, but with the blue/grey I don't think the shades work all that well color-wise."
The reason your shades are "screaming" at you is that other than the floors, there's nothing else in the room of the same color for these shades to relate to - and the room feels disjointed as a result.
Bring more of that color into the room with pillows, throws, accessories and/or wooden furniture and you'll have a more cohesive appearance in your room.
I agree with bepsf. Make them work by bringing in more of the same. If you don't want to do that, you could affix a panel of fabric on each shade so that the woven part becomes a "frame" and there isn't such a vast expanse of that material. Or what about painting them? If you hate them, there's nothing to lose.
Melissa - you hate the shades down. Got it. So replace the shades with something similar - roller or roman in a different color - I always go neutral so that if you paint again, you don't have to replace. Roller is cheaper. You can add interest with a ribbon detail along the sides or bottom - with a glue gun. Alternatively you can do a solar shade - they now come in patterns.
I'm so glad I asked this, because I was all set to hang some drapes. You all are making me think twice.
I kind of like farmhousemoderne's suggestion of affixing fabric on the shades... I don't know if it will work, but I might try it.
Otherwise I may look into replacing the shades with something more neutral -- I'm not a huge fan of the honey color and don't really want to add more of it. (There is a honey stripe in the striped pillows, and some warm tones in some other accessories and art in the room that aren't visible in the photo -- but not enough to justify the shades, imo).
I really love this sectional. Where is it from?
what about a valance that brings the honey color and wall color together and hides the shades when they are up to soften the window?
What about track curtains mounted on the inside of the straight edge framing the bow window? When open they could be pushed to the side, when closed it would mask the bow window and roman shades and provide privacy.
Aw, thanks Zandria -- it was a lucky Craigslist find. I think it was originally purchased at Strawbridge's.
Put away your glue gun and buy the exact same shades in a different color. The look of the shades is great--I was wondering why you'd want a change. Now I understand: you don't like the color. It would be silly to start buying honey colored accessories just so you'll feel better about shades. Then you'll hate your shades--and your throw pillows!
By the way, I actually think the honey colored shades look really nice. But I don't live there. :)
You got it figured out!, really!
Maybe... just maybe.. change the fabric for a more "zen, oriental" thing.. maybe a subtle print on white or off-white.
Fabric would definitely soften the look. Taking the roller blinds down and mounting drape rods above/outside the window frames will make the height of the windows seem taller. Personally I dislike rollers and they usually stop working after a year or so.
I have a smaller bow window and searched the internet and found a website that carries hinged corner "joining" hardware for curved or bay windows. They are the cheapest I was able to find and with a little ingenuity and a hacksaw you can probably keep the total price down.

Geochemists, chemists, microbiologists, and hydrologists on the IPTAI team are collaboratively investigating physical and chemical limitations on life beneath the subsurface of Earth. Instrumental detection and monitoring of subsurface ecologies on Earth will be used to design life-detection strategies for the subsurface of Mars. The IPTAI team has recovered microbes (Bacteria and Archaea) from 10- to 100-million-year old, highly saline, fracture water at depths up to 3200 m in South African gold mines. Sulfate reducing bacteria appear to dominate this ecosystem; other indigenous microbial species can be detected, but their pathways of electron transfer are not fully characterized.
We are interested in the identification of specific genes that are critical to the survival of microbes in a wide range of subsurface environments. Life forms in the subsurface of other planets presumably concentrate energy from geological sources similar to those on Earth but the composition and configuration of extra-terrestrial biomolecules could be radically different from those on Earth. In order to design effective life-detection instruments for subsurface planetary probes, we must identify the fundamental elements and behaviors common to subsurface ecosystems on Earth.
A combination of field and laboratory experiments will be utilized to search for these unifying characteristics.

Steizuello will be featured on the Notes from Home concert series at the Sheldon Concert Hall. Steizuello is a high-energy, four-piece, instrumental, jazz-fusion group consisting of Nick Schlueter on keyboards, Rick Steiling on basses, Harvey Love on drums, and Abbie Steiling on acoustic and electric violins. Drawing from a wide variety of influences, Steizuello presents a sound that can be described as "jazz-usion-ock" -- a hearty blend of jazz, fusion, and prog-rock influences. Their unique musical backgrounds bring together a myriad of influences including Jean-luc Ponty, Chick Corea and Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, in addition to classical music and film score elements that continue to enter the band's compositional palette. They come together in Steizuello to create and perform original music that is a cohesive blend of their four unique musical personalities.
