Lawyers for plaintiffs in one of two pending lawsuits challenging Arizona's ban on same-sex marriage are asking a federal court to combine the suits into one case.
A motion filed Monday in U.S. District Court says the cases should be consolidated because they involve the same legal issues and because consolidation would save time and effort.
The motion asks that a case filed earlier this month become part of the case from a separate filed in January.
The two cases are now assigned to different judges.
Lawmakers approved a state law barring same-sex marriages in 1996. Seven years later, an Arizona appeals court upheld the constitutionality of the law.
Voters in 2008 amended the Arizona Constitution to include the ban.

Eom Ji Won's giant "rocket ship" gets placed in a museum
The sex comedy "Festival" has gotten much attention even before it was released on November 18th. Now it's gaining attention again because the large "rocket ship" in the movie will be placed in a sex museum.
In the movie, Eom Ji Won's movie boyfriend catches her using the "rocket ship", and then dreams about her riding on a giant one. Usually, after a movie is filmed, items on set either get discarded or get stored away. However, the giant "rocket ship" was taken to a sex museum in Jeju Island.
Many Eom Ji Won fans are amused by this, as she had once said that that was the most embarrassing scene to film, but she couldn't help but have fond memories of the shooting.

"When Rae Spoon and Ivan E. Coyote first conceived of Gender Failure in 2012, it was as a 45-minute live multimedia performance of stories and songs about being trans and living outside the gender binary. "A real room-clearer of a show," writes Coyote, quoting Spoon in their new collaborative book, also called Gender Failure, published in May by Arsenal Pulp Press.
For the past two years Spoon and Coyote have toured the show to receptive crowds throughout North America and the U.K. "It's turned out to be a room-changer," Spoon says over the phone from Montreal, just ahead of bringing the project to Canada's East Coast. "We've changed the audiences who have come out to it, and the warm reception made us realize it was resonating."
The positive feedback inspired the duo to extend the performance by another 45 minutes and tackle a book adaptation. Gender Failure gave Coyote and Spoon more space to delve into their individual journeys from confused female-assigned youth to productive, creative adults who refer to themselves using the gender-neutral "they" pronoun."

My family enjoyed this soup. I did add a little extra soy sauce and fish sauce. It seemed a little "thin" otherwise. We had baked vegetable egg rolls with the soup.
Vietnamese Beef-Noodle Soup with Asian Greens

perryk Posted: 08/05/10
The first time I made this, I followed the recipe to a T, and it was pretty good. The second time I made it, I made a few changes and it was awesome: I had ground cloves, and I just added a pinch, as I'm not a huge clove fan in the first place. I added 1 Tbsp of Hoison sauce and doubled the soy sauce. LOVE it! This does have a lot of salt in it, but its a great alternative if you're craving some Pho.
satterbury Posted: 04/04/10
This recipe was great. I would make it again. I didn't have any cardamon on hand. It was still great
Watermaven Posted: 04/22/10
I haven't made it yet although I found it very tantalizing until I read the sodium content. Unfortunately I am one of those people that are sodium sensitive. And of course sodium is on the news daily for all people, why I don't know. My father and grandfather both lived to be 90 and never paid any attention to it. How about 2 versions of this, low sodium or no sodium? Believe me I wish I didn't have to pay attention to his as I love salt!
Chameleon16 Posted: 05/10/10
This is really good. I used 1/2 a Serrano chili instead of the Thai chili, and I added sliced mushrooms and a couple of chopped green onions. Instead of serving it with lime, I squeezed about 1/2 a lime into the soup at the end of cooking. Next time I'll try adding cooked rice instead of the noodles, since they didn't do much for me, but overall this is a great recipe, and I will make it again.
Deniseinark Posted: 04/23/10
Pho (pronounced fuh)-one of our favorite soups - quick and healthy. If you want to make it quicker, buy the pho base at an asian market. Check out other pho recipes for ingredient variations. We grow the herbs and keep frozen veggies because we eat it about once a week. Super healthy and full of good nutrition. EASY to make for a crowd.
raresters Posted: 07/25/10
i wasn't a fan of this one. i was expecting it to taste like pho from my local vietnamese restaurant which was probably too ambitious, but i didn't care for it at all. i'd not make it again.
HomeCookinFirst Posted: 04/07/11
A nice quick and light variation of PHO. I also placed a plate of bean sprouts on the side to add as desired along with a bottle sriracha for that extra and authentic kick.
Heather23 Posted: 10/09/11
This was pretty terrible. Very bland.
sb3386a Posted: 10/23/11
very bland. added lime juice and salt, but still nothing too special.
daneanp Posted: 12/13/12
This was just ok. It seemed bland and a lot of work for the payoff.
nguyenpanda Posted: 07/15/12
This can't even be called Vietnamese. First of all, true pho is never "quick and easy." It takes hours to make a proper pho, and the labor is what makes it delicious. The seasonings are wrong. Even the notion of using brown sugar and soy sauce in pho is ridiculous. Putting baby bak choy and snow peas in it is simply not done and is a sad attempt at being more Asian. The article I got in our families subscription even suggested serving pho with sesame wontons! This recipe just fails on so many levels. I'm Vietnamese and quite frankly this is a disgrace to our culture's cuisine.
gnc929 Posted: 07/14/13
This is a great Asian inspired soup. The recipe does not claim to be a Pho recipe, so I am a bit confused why some reviews have given this recipe a low rating because it strays from traditional Pho. Just to aggravate the purist, I added Miso! Om Nom Nom
Mceveritt77 Posted: 01/28/14
Overall, I think this recipe is good. I did add the extra soy sauce as previous reviewers suggested, left out the chili (for my kids) and thought it still had a great flavor. *However*, I did NOT feel comfortable about the way the broth "cooked" the beef. I was very careful to follow the directions, but ended up putting everything back into the pot to let the beef cook more. Despite that, my family devoured it all. I'm not looking for a really authentic pho, so for us it worked and I'll probably make it again.

I have been working at Safeway Canada part-time for less than a year
close to home and I like the varied hours. Starting pay is good and co-workers helpful and friendly, customers are pleasant and most understood it was my first shift after having to tell them as I wasn't given a training badge.
Training I found to be lacking, some people do well with computer training especially the younger generation but I believe more hands on training is needed to have successful older workers, one shift then nothing for over a week and you have to try to remember everything all over again when you get to work again can be intimidating.
More on the floor training with a supervisor would go a long way to keeping people and a few shifts after training would be a huge benefit to new employees as they would retain a lot more of their training.

I'm a super shy live music & travel photographer. I post snippets of my daily life and other mundane things. Out of all the crap I blab about, I think you can trust my opinion on music the most. Read more.
I wish this hairstyle suited present-day me.
GPOY From 2008. I still wear all of those today — especially that dress/top (proof #1). And I have the same hairstyle right now!
Retro WIWT I used to dress like this back in college. This was taken two years ago, I think?
Also, my face - obviously taken mid-sentence. A rather angry sentence, I can imagine.
EDIT: I found a better photo! Haha
This was me back in 2008. I am sad now. I lost that whole outfit except for the Marc by Marc Jacobs by blahblahblah tote.
So many things have changed since then.
Oh, it's so amazing here.
Before I graduated and got a job, I used to do fashion shoots for some of my friends. And I was quite horrible at it. I didn't know how to make the models pose or how to instruct them to look fierce or model-y so I would always ask one or two of my friends to come with me. Now, while looking at my old pictures, it amazes me how I got through hours of fashion shoots with these gorgeous people. I guess I was never really the fashion photographer type.
The day I met my father. /lame
I am so so sick of summer already. Cold weather can't get here fast enough!
Where I want to be right now.

Yummy Cinco de Mayo Recipes to Help You Celebrate
Here are some great recipes to celebrate the Mexican holiday in style!
Here are some great recipes to celebrate the Mexican holiday in style!
With Cinco de Mayo approaching quickly, (who can believe it's already May 1st.....) here are some great recipes to celebrate the Mexican holiday in style!
If the idea of a human-sized rodent sneaking into your house in the middle of the night carrying a basket of eggs doesn't freak you out, we're pretty sure these photos of creepy Easter bunnies will.
As the first day of Spring and Easter quickly approach, the shelves of your local store are filling up with sweet treats. Some yummy (Reese's peanut butter eggs...) and some not so yummy (Cadbury creme eggs....).
The Christmas season: a wonderful time of the year when you and your friends and relatives get together around a Christmas tree to enjoy each others company and exchange presents. It's a magical time of year when twinkle lights dot houses across your neighborhood. And now it's January and you don't feel like taking any of that stuff down.
Can't (or don't want to) make it to Times Square to watch the ball drop on New Years Eve? No problem -- watch the excitement with live webcams!
For Blake Shelton and his wife, Miranda Lambert, Christmas 2012 will be tough. Shelton's father, Dick, passed away in January, making this the first holiday season the country crooner will experience without him.
Ray Stevens busts out the jingle bells, Santa hats and beautiful female background singers for his latest video -- his festive take on the Christmas classic, 'White Christmas,' which is premiering exclusively on Taste of Country.
You can always spot a parent around the holiday season. Their hair is a frazzled mesh of cow licks and stray strands as if it's been pulled by a crowd of frantic people. Their eyes dart around in all directions desperately seeking something that could suddenly appear at a moment's notice. They break down and cry during commercials that advertise "the hottest toy of the holiday season."
Ghastly little children and zombie corpses in elevators aren't the only things petrifying people around the world this holiday season. It looks like even Frosty himself is getting in on the act to wish us all a very happy (and spooky) holiday.
The Christmas Parade in Atlantic City is this Saturday!

For this week's "LA Hump Day Links," we have a slightly different approach. Instead of "links," plural, we submit one main link: SCOTUSblog. SCOTUSblog is the creation of Tom Goldstein, a Supreme Court litigation professor at Stanford and Harvard who has actually argued 24 cases in front of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has been front and center the past week on several issues, most notably the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (President Obama's healthcare law) and jail strip searches. The Supreme Court is debating the merits of the PPACA, which requires people to purchase private health insurance or pay a penalty (among other provisions), and it recently ruled in a (partisan) 5 to 4 vote that any person arrested and held in jail temporarily can be subjected to a routine strip search.
It is very easy to get lost within this website, which is a good thing. The Supreme Court has ruled controversially on several issues so far this century, including the 2000 presidential election and the absurd Citizens United case. Law and politics are fundamental to the liberal arts, inciting the mind to defend beliefs while balancing precedent. So while many people are hard-pressed to even name the nine Justices, lose yourself in the analysis of this blog and heighten your awareness of the recent rumblings of nine of the most powerful unelected people in this country. It's worth it.

Perhaps the one big, obvious difference between backyard camping and camping in nature is the setting. In the absence of serene, rustic, natural surroundings, what are the kids to do while camping right in their own backyard?
While some kids are content just to be playing in a tent, others may need a little more structure to help the evening go smoothly. If you're planning to camp out in your backyard this weekend (and I hope you are!), here are a few ideas to keep up your sleeve.
Set up a play tent.
When we brought along a play tent on our camping trip last summer, it was a huge hit. Fll it with books, games, coloring books – whatever items are popular with the kids at the moment.
Celebrate color.
Sidewalk chalk is a must, as it can help transform concrete into a mural or game board in minutes. Glow sticks are the highlight of any nighttime activity around here. I also recently discovered glow bubbles, which would make nighttime blowing a real adventure.
Try a campground craft.
The simpler the better. Aim for things you can do that don't involve any special supplies, like building a fairy house or creating land art.
Settle in around a campfire.
A couple of years ago, we invested in an outdoor fire pit, which makes creating the campfire mood much easier. A backyard fire pit or chiminea is the perfect place for roasting s'mores and telling campfire stories. (Younger kids may prefer reading stories to scary tales.)
Get busy after dark.
Being outside after dark is pretty exciting for most kids. It's a time to see and hear plenty of new things. Go stargazing, take a flashlight walk or search for nighttime critters. Don't forget to use your sense of hearing, too, to listen for the sounds of the night.
Explore at sunrise.
No matter how tired the kids are, chances are they'll be up early. Why not take advantage it? Discover what goes on in your neighborhood in the earliest hours of the day. Go on a scavenger hunt or play a game of camping bingo. Hopefully, breakfast will be waiting for you when you get back to camp.

Raskolnikov Meets the Caped Crusader, and Other News
April 8, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- If you're having trouble getting serious reading done, you can go ahead and blame the Internet, which fosters deleterious skimming habits. "It was torture getting through the first page. I couldn't force myself to slow down so that I wasn't skimming, picking out key words, organizing my eye movements to generate the most information at the highest speed. I was so disgusted with myself."
- Yesterday was Don B.'s birthday, making today the perfect occasion to reread his 1987 essay, "Not-Knowing." "Let us discuss the condition of my desk. It is messy, mildly messy. The messiness is both physical (coffee cups, cigarette ash) and spiritual (unpaid bills, unwritten novels). The emotional life of the man who sits at the desk is also messy—I am in love with a set of twins, Hilda and Heidi, and in a fit of enthusiasm I have joined the Bolivian army."
- "Every April, 'O, Miami' attempts to deliver a poem to every single person in Miami-Dade County." (There are at least 2.591 million of them—I just checked.)
- Crime and Punishment and Batman: all in one scintillating, thrill-packed issue of Dostoyevsky Comics. One wonders which superhero moonlighted in the Brothers Karamazov issue.
- From the annals of game-show history comes Bumper Stumpers, a late-eighties Canadian television curio in which contestants parsed the wordplay in vanity license plates. (E.g., VTHKOLM, which means "fifth column," obviously.)

Summer Reading; Formatting Horrors
April 13, 2012 | by Lorin Stein
I'm a second-semester senior in high school and currently find myself with a lot of empty time. I also have an open summer ahead with plenty of time to read books. Do you have any novel recommendations for someone about to enter college?
Our friends at n+1 devoted an entire pamphlet to the question, more or less: What We Should Have Known. Our advice is more equivocal: the main thing is to have a whole bunch of books so you can switch if you get bored.
With that caveat, and in no special order: To the Lighthouse, Sons and Lovers, Howard's End, Invisible Man, Brideshead Revisited, Girl in Landscape, Pnin, Rebecca, The Crying of Lot 49, The Broom of the System, Two Girls, Fat and Thin, Portnoy's Complaint, War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, The Transit of Venus, The Death of the Heart, The Tetherballs of Bougainville, Home Land, Cane, As I Lay Dying, The Sun Also Rises, Confessions of a Mask, The Savage Detectives, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Marius the Epicurean, First Love, First Love and Other Sorrows, and Moby-Dick.
I recently read Lolita and have since been obsessed with Nabokov. What are other Russian novels, or to broaden the list, European novels that you would recommend?
Have you read others novels by Nabokov? My favorite is Pnin (see above). The tricky thing about your question is that no European writes like him—or if they do, it's in a language I can't read. The most Nabokovian writer I know is John Updike, but he's American. Try the Rabbit books. You might also like Javier Marías: start with A Heart So White. And if what you really want is European, magisterial, and ironic, there's Lydia Davis's new translation of Madame Bovary. Nabokov almost certainly wouldn't approve of the translation—he never approved—but I think he would disapprove less than of the others. Read More »

Cambodia turns climate change crisis into opportunity
Cambodia is ranked among the top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change. This is not only due to climate risks, but also to lack of capacity to adapt and respond. Eighty percent of the population lives in rural areas with limited knowledge, infrastructure and opportunities; and more than 70 percent rely on agriculture that is heavily sensitive to climate change, putting the country's economic and social development at risk.

(Freenet / WASTE / Onionland / I2P / anoNet Darknets)
Well, if you've come this far, you can see that we're treading into some pretty deep water when it comes to Internet security and P2P file sharing - perhaps even considered borderline paranoia. As the saying goes, "You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you". For many zealots, this is the only way files should be shared.
Darknets (& Private F2F Networks)
What are Darknets
A darknet is a private virtual network where users connect only to people they trust, or they connect to other unknown anonymous peers under cloaked conditions. Many F2F networks are classified as Darknets, even if they aren't self-described as such. Two examples are WASTE and Freenet. Even RetroShare and CSpace are considered darknets.
One thing is certain about darknets: They are anonymous and uncensored. And they are also unpoliced - this is not a metaphor or a figure of speech. Real-world cops can access a darknet, but there is nothing any policing agency in the world can do about it.
Dictionary definition of 'Darknet': The collection of software and servers used to distribute music, videos and other copyrighted material illegally.
While this is partly true in defining what a Darknet does, by no means are Limewire, Usenet or BitTorrent considered darknets. In fact, they are considered Lightnets. Darknets are usually F2F (friend-to-friend) oriented, usually built on camaraderie. Most true darknets are next to impossible to find, but here are some examples of known popular darknets, and how to get started.
Freenet v0.7 (FProxy/F2F/Darknet)
**What is it
?** Freenet is a large-scale, distributed data-store designed to be highly censorship resilient. Inserting and retrieving data from Freenet is designed to be anonymous too. The idea is to make it as difficult as possible to detect communication over Freenet, and virtually impossible to prove it. The Freenet website describes it as:
Freenet is free software which lets you publish and obtain information on the Internet without fear of censorship. To achieve this freedom, the network is entirely decentralized and publishers and consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can never be true freedom of speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack. Communications by Freenet nodes are encrypted and are 'routed-through' other nodes to make it extremely difficult to determine who is requesting the information and what its content is. Users contribute to the network by giving bandwidth and a portion of their hard drive (called the "data store") for storing files. Unlike other peer-to-peer file sharing networks, Freenet does not let the user control what is stored in the data store. Instead, files are kept or deleted depending on how popular they are, with the least popular being discarded to make way for newer or more popular content. Files in the data store are encrypted to reduce the likelihood of prosecution by persons wishing to censor Freenet content."
:** Freenet offers total anonymity within its own community. (External links to the rest of the Internet are not within the secure parameters of Freenet, like any darknet.) All communication is essentially anonymous, as are file transfers, forums, chats etc. However, Freenet is not distinctly known as a P2P file sharing medium (mind you, once you get into the thick of things, the P2P implications soon become very apparent).
**Freenet Options
:** There are two options to use Freenet. The newer version 0.7 is more secure as it basically only allows users to connect to other known users (or nodes), with a few exceptions being 'public' ones. Here's a quote from the Freenet wiki:
"Freenet 0.7 works slightly differently to older versions of Freenet. Instead of being automatically connected to other people running Freenet based on a centralized list, you have to manually add people you trust to your Connections list. This is known as a DarkNet, and it makes it more difficult for an adversary to compromise anonymity of the network."
Some users have adamantly held sway with the 0.5 version, and refuse to upgrade the newer version - v0.5 is becoming harder to find on the Freenet website, but here's a link to an unofficial page that hosts it.
**Our comments
:** We particularly like Freenet. It's been around forever, and it still thrives. While it doesn't boast the same download speeds as other protocols such as BitTorrent, nor does it even come close to the diversity of available shared files - it has a great community atmosphere to it that grows on you. Perhaps it'll be the last one standing after the MPAA and RIAA get through all those Bit sites and shut down every last P2P file sharing network - who knows?
:** Download Freenet 0.7 here. Choose either the 'freenet webinstall' (13MB) or the 3MB link below it (if you know you have Java [JRE] already installed). The safest option is the 'webinstall' if you don't know. Either way, run the *.EXE after downloading to begin the installation. (It's also available on the SourceForge page.)
NOTE: Internet Explorer is not recommended for use with Freenet (or any darknet, really!). If you have Firefox (as well as IE) then use your Firefox browser to visit the above download link (with IE closed). Additionally, use Firefox whenever logging in to Freenet in the future.
1. Select your language - English is the default
2. Select the default settings (see below):

After installation, your browser will be launched to the 'web installation' portion of the setup. For this example, we chose the "First Time Wizard" installation option. At some point you'll have to create a 'nickname' for your Freenet node.
3. Click on the 'First Time Wizard' link. This will open a new webpage.
4. Select the 'Click here to continue' link.
[](/anonymous/freenet2.gif "Freenet 'Installation Successful' screen."){: rel="lytebox"}
5. Select an option for connectivity (YES or NO). This will now log you into your Freenet page (see screenshot - right). It's from here where connections are made to freesites (Freenet-hosted pages) and links/tutorials are to be found. Browse around! All is secure!!
[](/anonymous/freenet4.gif "Freenet 'Installation Successful' screen."){: rel="lytebox"}
You can launch Freenet from your Start Menu > Programs:
Check out "Frost" for Freenet. This is where most of the 'public' Freenet downloading / uploading is performed.
Frost is a Freenet client that provides newsgroup-like messaging, private encrypted messages, file upload and download functionality and a file sharing system. It's anonymous, and yet has a very personal atmosphere.
Frost comes pre-installed with Freenet 0.7, and can be found in your Start Menu > The Free Network Project > Frost. Make sure to select the proper version of Frost (see below).
A look at the 'Frost' interface:
Additional help for Frost can be located at their website.
WASTE (F2F/P2P Network/Darknet)
**What is WASTE
WASTE is a mesh-based protocol that allows for encrypted, private communication between distant parties on the Internet, independant of local network organization. It is both anonymous and secure, with fully encrypted file transferring, enabling secure distributed communication for small (usually 10-50 nodes) trusted groups of users. WASTE is NOT a P2P search program, although there are thousands of users, most don't connect directly with each other.
Here's the sourceforge download link, and this link is to the official homepage of WASTE.
Download WASTE from the sourceforge site. The file for Windows OS is called "waste-setup-1.5-beta-3-full-eng.exe". Run the installation file, and follow instructions. You'll need to provide a nickname/Real Name. On the next screen, just bypass the part about KEYS, you can do this later.
[](/anonymous/waste1.gif "WASTE - Setup screen 1 - adding a username."){: rel="lytebox"}[](/anonymous/waste2.gif "WASTE - Setup Screen 2."){: rel="lytebox"}
After installation, run WASTE. You'll be needing some KEYS in order to have others to connect to (or it'll get pretty lonely). Do a query in your favorite search engine for 'Waste Public Keys'. Or, visit this website (and here) and scroll all the way to the bottom where the most recent keys are. You'll need to copy the entire key into WASTE, as explained inside the screenshots below:
[](/anonymous/waste3.gif "Finding Public Keys for WASTE."){: rel="lytebox"}[](/anonymous/waste5.gif "Importing the Keys into WASTE (Part 2)."){: rel="lytebox"}
And here's a video of how to set up WASTE. Other WASTE side projects include:
- — J-WASTE - A platform independent client/server Java implementation of the WASTE protocol.
- — jWASTE - jWaste is a Java based implementation of the WASTE-Protocol.
- — SWaste - SWaste is F2F software to transfer data anonymously and securely.
- — Waste.NET - Waste.NET is a complete rewrite of WASTE (using the .NET framework).
- — Waste Junk MOD - A modified version of Waste. Waste Junk Mod will be an improved client for the same network.
- — modWASTE - An extension of the WASTE project. (project discontinued?)
- — WASTE again - A fork of WASTE 22.214.171.1248 beta 3 starting form 220.127.116.112 beta 3. (currently still being developed)
- — P.A.S.T.E. - A modded version of WASTE (project discontinued?).
Onionland (The 'Tor' Community/Darknet)
Onionland, as you might have guessed, is comprised of all the anonymous websites in the Tor network. Fittingly enough, they all end in .onion (similar to .com or .net domains - except .onion sites aren't part of a domain at all - just hashes of a private key). Onionland isn't the official name of the Tor community - do a search for it on Google and not much about anything comes up - it's more of an unspoken term for the entire .onion network.
Accessing onionland.
Tor needs to be installed first (and privoxy). The newest installation bundle will automatically configure the browser (Firefox is recommended) to use the correct proxy settings to connect to Tor - just click the "Tor Disabled" button to enable it.
Navigating through onionland.
Navigating blindly through the Tor network can be daunting (even downright frustrating) if you seek something specific. There are aptly named hidden services and hidden wikis that are near impossible to accidentally run into.
Here's a few starting places that should give you enough links to get going. (Provided that they aren't down or moved by the time you are reading this). To visit these Tor sites, don't forget that you must have Tor and Privoxy installed (and running), and are using a Tor-configured browser with Tor enabled.
ApeWiki - HiddenServices — A good place to find some working links:
onionforum - a forum for users of Tor:
core.onion - A long list of Tor sites:
And a last note - Don't expect blazing speeds. Be patient when waiting for a Tor page to load - the data has to go through encryption layers and relays. People using Tor in their P2P programs aren't helping things, either.
I2P (Darknet / 'I2P' Community)
I2P is much more than just a method to surf the 'Net anonymously. It is its own community, much like Tor (onionland). Sites within the I2P network are called eepsites, and use the .i2p domain. Eepsites are secure and anonymous.
To access these eepsites, I2P must be installed (and running) first, with it properly configured through a web browser (Firefox is best). See [here](../../14/internet-tunneling-traffic-routing/#i2p "I2P Installation & Configuration") for installation / launch procedures.
Eepsites - starting points.
Launch Firefox to your 'I2P Router' page, which is http://localhost:7657/index.jsp. Wait for some 'peer' connections on the left, and then you can begin to browse some of the links listed there. NOTE: Don't bother to click on Orion.i2p - it's permanently down. Here are some other good eepsites:
http://forum.i2p/ - Forums for all things I2P (iMule, I2Phex, Susimail)
http://eepsites.i2p/ - Search for eepsites and browse the latest searches.
http://ugha.i2p/ - The I2P Wiki (for good links, starting points, etc.)
[](/anonymous/i2p_4.gif "Ugha.i2p - The I2P Wiki."){: rel="lytebox"}
Increase your speeds on I2P.
You can check out the links above (especially the forums) in regards to increasing your speed. But there's two things we can tell you right now that'll help.
First, wait for the 'peers' list to increase to over 50 (see below):
1. Here's a tweak that you must do if you have a fast Internet connection (DSL/Cable). From the main I2P Router page (your default page - see image above), click the "Configuration" link:
This will open your configuration page (below). Change your 'Inbound' and 'Outbound' speeds as shown below:
2. Another tip to increase speeds (but this cuts down on anonymity), is to change your 'Hops' settings. This is done in the "Local Destinations" settings (see below). *We changed this number to zero, and I2P became extremely fast! How much that affects the anonymity, we don't know. We can say with earnest - quite probably. Check the forums and FAQs for I2P for additional info.
A note about running Tor and I2P at the same time:
Not that you'll ever really need to do this, but it is possible to run both Tor and I2P at the same time, however, they both can't be used in the same instance of a web browser simultaneously. This being since they both require different ports to access the networks, with Tor requiring localhost: 8118 while I2P uses localhost: 4444. A workaround for this would be to open another 'window' of Firefox, one using 8118 (while enabling Tor), the other 4444 (with Tor disabled). Similarly, if you wish to use both Tor and I2P at different times (and you use just one Firefox), you'll need to change the proxy settings back and forth as well. This is because turning off the Torbutton doesn't default the browser to the I2P proxy settings, but to the 'direct connection to the Internet' instead.
sonny vasquez Says:
thanks for the information we have just read,it educate me about the issue and i will no longer be ignorant,in fact i am so interested to join a group of this kind to share also with ideas….
Nate Says:
http://www.DarknetVPN.com are a great darknet service I only pay €5 for unlimited bandwidth.
d4m4s74 Says:
On using tor and i2p at the same time, download foxyproxy (for firefox)
then connect *.i2p/* to proxy localhost:4444 and *.onion/* to localhost:8118
then every url will go to your own connection, .i2p goes to i2p and onion goes through tor
Justin Says:
What is safer than private p2p file sharing? Check http://www.binfer.com. Fast encrypted transfers only with your trusted contacts.

"*.i2p/* to proxy localhost:4444 and *.onion/* to localhost:8118″
Hmm, I know nothing about i2p, but Tor will go to any browser webpage, not just .onion/
Therefore I wonder why you can't chain those localhost:ports? much like browser(127.0.0.1:8080) > Proxomitron(127.0.0.1:8118) > Privoxy(127.0.0.1:9050) > Tor > TorNode

An uphill struggle to hold integrity and boldly believe in something so important that is seen to so many others as trivial. People like myself. People who I fight for. Belittled for holding little privilege. discouraged from being courageous. Feeling like a failure for attempting to make sure those like me will never feel like they've failed.
every clumsy breath lost from my ears that does more than dishearten me and every fold in my sheets that grows deeper with the passing of time that you are still not here, only brings closer your return when the heat of your body will be all I need to warm the bitter edge that creeps further into my skin, and the depth of your smile will be all I need to take me home again.
Please come home.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. There are professional athletes who respond to trades by declaring "it's a business," and there are those who outwardly display their disappointment, even bitterness.
Then there is Andres Torres' assessment of the 2011 deal that shipped him from the Giants to New York for Angel Pagan, who would play center field on a championship club as Torres struggled for the lowly Mets.
"It was a great trade," Torres said. "Pagan is a great player and a great guy. San Francisco won the World Series again and (Pagan) was great."
That last word was used often by Torres on Tuesday, when pitchers and catchers reported to Scottsdale Stadium for the start of the 2013 season.
In a crowded clubhouse filled with returning champions and young minor leaguers soaking in the big-league life, nobody had a bigger smile than Torres, who circled the room with hugs and handshakes.
"I'm so happy to be back," Torres said. "This is a dream come true."
His lifelong dream was first realized in 2010, when Torres, a journeyman outfielder, played in 139 games, hit 16 homers and scored 84 runs for a championship team. He was popular in the clubhouse and a darling of the fans, but his career U-turned in 2011.
Torres hit .221 with just four homers in the failed quest for a repeat title. His on-base plus slugging percentage dropped from .823 to .643, and in December he was traded to the Mets, with right-hander Ramon Ramirez, who agreed last week to a minor league contract with the Giants.
A calf injury landed Torres on the disabled list early last season and he never recovered, hitting .230 with just three homers and 13 stolen bases. Free agency can be a wasteland for veteran outfielders coming off back-to-back poor seasons, but the 35-year-old Torres is capable of playing all three positions.
Torres said the Mets tried to bring him back, and the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers expressed interest. Throughout the process, he was eyeing only one destination.
"This is home for me," he said. "San Francisco gave me an opportunity when I was in the minors to make the team and gave me a job. I won the World Series here. I really appreciated those things. You have to do what's best for your family, but I really wanted to be here."
Torres placed multiple phone calls to manager Bruce Bochy, and when his agent began to talk terms with other teams, Torres insisted he didn't care about money. He wanted to go where he felt comfortable.
"His message was really (about) how badly he wanted to come back," Bochy said of the phone calls. "He was a Giant at heart."
Bochy has already mapped out Torres' path to production and envisions him in a platoon with Gregor Blanco, another speedy, defensive-minded veteran who broke through when the Giants gave him a chance.
"We're glad to have him," Bochy said. "It gives us another gifted outfielder that can play all three positions."
Torres worked all offseason on swing adjustments from the left side, and he'll test them out this spring by representing Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. Torres will share Puerto Rico's outfield with Pagan, the player he was traded for, and Carlos Beltran, a former Met and Giant.
While it would seem critical for Torres to stay in camp and try to win a job, Bochy said he encouraged Torres to represent his country.
"We know Andres," Bochy said. "It might be a little bit different if we didn't know him and have a whole lot of info about him, but we do."

Most of the poems in this collection of fifty poems at least mention the theme of nature. All but one take place in a natural setting. In "August", the blackberries hang in the woods, and the narrator spends all day eating them, the black honey of summer. In "Mushrooms", the rain and cool winds pull the mushrooms from the ground in the fall time. In "The Kitten", in amazement, the narrator takes the stillborn kitten from its mother's bed and gives it back peacefully to the earth from whence it came. In "Lightning", the lightning flashes like "quick lessons in creation".
"In the Pinewoods, Crows and Owl" tells of enmity between the crows and the owl. In "Moles", moles nothing during their brief, physical lives. Yet, their muzzles continually push against the earth, finding it delicious. "The Lost Children" is set in nature. In "The Bobcat", one night...

Like the folding ones
posted 6 years ago
I have both the folding kind and the one that needs put together; I so much like the folding one better I almost never use the other one it is too hard to put together.
Pros: the folding feature is the best
Cons: none

posted 6 years ago
This crate is great. My dogs love it. They can see what is going on in the area that the crates are in. We go right in them when they know we are leaving the house. They even sleep in them at times. It is almost like it is their safety zone.
Pros: Easy to fold when not in use
Cons: Needs a pad on the bottom for better comfort

Great Tool!
posted 6 years ago
Great for crate training. Our dogs love to go 'bedtime' and can be caught napping in their crates. Good price, folds up, and has been durable for us!
Pros: Great for crate training
Cons: A little difficult to put together the first time

It is great at times for the dog within to be able to see everything around them but then they sould be able to get their quiet space too. I like this product because I can determine when and how much to cover up if I ever want to.
Pros: The dogs can see everything that is going on around them
Cons: The dogs can see everything that is going on around them
