Voyeurism is the practice whereby an individual derives sexual pleasure from observing other people. Voyeurs are the opposite of exhibitionists who like to be watched rather than like watching.
I don't know why but watching him fuck another woman is a massive turn on for me.
For as long as I can remember I've enjoyed watching people. Whether in porn or my boyfriend masturbating or even the occasional time my drunk girlfriends decided to experiment with me in the room. I almost always find myself slipping away to a corner and sliding a finger inside of my panties. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love fucking and being taken by a man but sometimes I like to...Read On

Exposing wife without her kmowing
I have been fantasizing for a few years about another man seeing my wife naked. About the last month or so I have been actually losing sleep over it. I had to do something about it. First off, let me tell you that my wife is rarely without a bra or panties on. She is over fifty. About two years ago I started fantasizing about another man seeing her naked. Being that she is only undressed...Read On

Sometimes the best photography subject finds you.
A flock of seagulls stood closely together, each pacing around, searching for any traces of food hidden in the sand. Knowing how skittish they were, I moved very carefully towards them.

As many readers know, Richard Carrier has written a hard-hitting, one might even say vicious, response to Did Jesus Exist. I said nothing nasty about Carrier in my book – just the contrary, I indicated that he was a smart fellow with whom I disagree on fundamental issues, including some for which he really does not seem to know what he is talking about. But I never attacked him personally. He on the other hand, appears to be showing his true color.What? Carrier's criticism of the book was scathing, no doubt. But he didn't attack Ehrman "personally". He attacked the book, quite relentlessly, for being a really shitty and poorly-researched book. I suppose it's hard for anyone not to take that personally, but Ehrman should have done his homework – and he definitely shouldn't have misrepresented Carrier's credentials. It also doesn't help Ehrman's case that he's stuck his own blog behind a paywall, basically ensuring it will be an echo chamber.
In any case, I still have no idea why anyone cares about whether a historical Jesus existed. Ehrman frequently uses the term "mythicists" in a derisive context, and in the process creates a false dichotomy. There's a third and much more evidential view of a historical Jesus, which is that there isn't enough evidence to conclusively establish that he existed. It's certainly plausible, but beyond that, what's the big deal? Who freaking cares? Why is Ehrman so insistent that we must accept that some guy named Jesus actually existed?
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's an irrelevant issue. All anyone, besides indulgent academics, really cares about is whether Jesus existed as he is described in the gospels. Since Ehrman has been one of the foremost advocates of exposing the gospels' utter lack of credibility, I don't really see why he'd get in a huff about a so-called "historical" Jesus. Who. Gives. A. Shit?

Pagan Paths
Sharing safe seidhr (Norse trance work) practice, working with the Gods and spirits through divination and devotional magic. We'll also explore the wider Eurasian influences on central and northern European religion, including Norse, Slavic, Celtic, Baltic, Siberian, Mediterranean and ancient Indo-European beliefs and discuss how to apply them to contemporary practice.
Autumn Hymn to Freyr & some similarities between Slavic & Norse Myth
I wrote this hymn around the autumn equinox, for a blot to Freyr at a far northern latitude where the leaves had already turned and the lake was skinning with ice, as farmers were pulling in the last harvests. It's meant to welcome the Norse God Freyr (Baltic & Slavic "Yarilo/Jarilo"; also called "St. John/Ian" and "Caloian") as the harvest Lord, and say farewell to him with the change in seasons.
Autumn Hymn to Freyr
Hail Freyr, golden King
Lord of green and growing things!
He who gives us rain and sun,
life and peace for everyone
Son of Njordh and Nerthus, too
Gerda's love, we welcome you!
*Hail Freyr, Lord of the Vanir
King of elves and men
Lord of the land and Lord of the harvest
He who is slain each year and is reborn:
Ingvi, Frodi, Shining One, Lord
Be welcomed here and bless us with your presence.
Sheet Music PDF (for harp or strings):
While there is no direct Norse tale I know of that discusses Freyr's seasonal death, in Polish lore the young God Jarilo is slain by his sister and wife, Vesna, who becomes the lonely old goddess of winter and death, Moranna, mourning him. Jarilo returns to the underworld from which he came, to awaken again in the spring. His marriage brings peace between rivals (like Freyr, who marries the giant maiden Gerd). He is also associated with a white horse in festival processions.
Americans still haven't celebrated our secular harvest holiday yet (Thanksgiving)-- which marks the unofficial change from autumn to winter, even if the official shift falls on the Solstice. So I think it's still appropriate to honor Freyr, especially at lower latitudes. My next post will cover: Autumn Offerings to Freyr: Heathen Harvest Lord.
You can also find more poems at: A Winter Solstice Prayer to Ingvi-Freyr, the Yule King and The Lord is NOT my Shepherd.
Harp tune, lyrics and icon of Frey by me.
For more information on Freyr, I recommend reading the work of Hilda Ellis Davidson.
On the Slavic side, there's also an older book available in recent reprint or at libraries: The Mythology of All Races: Celtic/Slavic [Volume III] by John Arnott Macculloch/Jan Machal.
Yarilo/Caloian and much of interest regarding continental Goddess lore (including some startling Celtic similarities to the myth of Baldr's death, and the relevance of keys to a Goddess) is discussed in The Dancing Goddesses: Folklore, Archaeology and the History of European Dance by Elizabeth Wayland Barber.

SOPA Gives Me Powers That I Don't Want
from the not-in-my-name dept
I was amazed when I learned about the details of SOPA. This bill gives powers to content owners to easily and freely hurt many tech companies and could even go so far as to shut them down completely. Reading this from an entrepreneur's standpoint I immediately go on the defensive and hate it. After reading through the full bill, I finally realized "Wait wait wait...I'm a content owner, I could use this law." This is when I got truly scared.
As a content owner I would have power to send a simple letter to a payment processor accusing a client of theirs of copyright infringement. If the payment processor doesn't cut off a business relationship with my target within five days, they could be dragged into a convoluted legal process. I don't need to consult with a lawyer to do this, which is great because I don't even have one. I certainly can send simple letters out in my free time between takes on the set though. This is too much power for a single movie producer to have and it's way too much for any one else to have. A large tech company could defend itself in court, but small startups don't stand a chance.
The fact that many tech companies are very small and overly susceptible to the impact a simple accusation could have under SOPA is lost on many folks. While I was in LA, people on our set asked me what I did in addition to working the movie. I told them that "some of my time is spent advising tech startups." While a typical response in the Valley would be "Oh wow, which startups?" I was surprised to hear back "Oh, what's a startup?" After discussing this, many people on our set did not understand that most large tech companies start as two guys in a garage with an idea. Their concept of tech companies only included large firms of the world like Google and Apple. Now I understood that when people look at these laws, the concerns of small companies might be ignored because in some minds its obvious that tech companies have large legal arms to defend themselves.
In reality though, most of the large tech companies that exist today were once very small and very fragile. If SOPA was in place, those companies would have never grown up, since the two guys in a garage would have required four lawyers to survive. Dropbox is a perfect example. Created by some college students, the company provides shared online storage space for a fee. Under SOPA, the company would have been cut off from its revenues as soon as a single accusation was made that it was hosting copyrighted material. As a small company this could have been crippling. Today though, I know that Dropbox is one of the most popular tools in the movie industry, since it allows easy sharing of new daily shots, music cues, draft movie posters and more. The innovative tech companies of the future will be extinguished before they have a chance to even get out the door.
With our movie finished and coming onto the market, I'm looking forward to using technology to get our movie out to the world. I want to work with startups that are coming up with new distribution methods. I want to see new abilities to connect with our future fanbase. I want to see more methods of movies getting crowdfunded so viewers get to have more of a say over which movies they want made. Any company that might start solving these problems though would be at risk under SOPA of getting squashed. While my movie could be the one which shows up on those new sites, I already have tools at my disposal (like the DMCA) to deal with it. SOPA allows me to have an easier time protecting my copyrighted material, but the cost is too great.

Homestead exemption deadline extended
City Council on Thursday, May 9, voted to extend the deadline to apply for residential property tax relief, commonly known as the Homestead Exemption, from July 31, 2013, to Sept. 13, 2013.
Owner-occupants are eligible to receive the Homestead Exemption, which could deliver hundreds of dollars in tax savings per household under the Actual Value Initiative for the 2014 tax year. What the exemption will be — $15,000 or $30,000 – has yet to be determined by City Council.
Council also voted to allow persons who purchase homes within 30 days before the Sept. 13 deadline or shortly after to apply for the Homestead Exemption within 30 days of the date of transfer. The cut-off for such applications is Dec. 1, 2013.
According to Mayor Michael Nutter's administration, little more than 50 percent of eligible homeowners have been approved for the Homestead Exemption. Council offices are reaching out to eligible households to inform them of the Homestead Exemption and to assist with the application process.
Nutter is expected to sign both bills. ••

Volunteers needed for hunger study
Philabundance, the Delaware Valley's largest hunger relief organization, is participating in the national Hunger in America 2014 study, a landmark study assessing hunger across our nation in an effort to find ways to better serve those in need in our community.
Volunteers are critical in helping collect important data that will influence aspects of the hunger relief network and help food banks better understand the landscape of need in many communities across the country. The data collected is used to inform strategy, programs and other decisions across the Feeding America network. It is also used in policy formation at both the local and national level.
Feeding America member food banks, including Philabundance, need energetic volunteers to facilitate a nationwide study of hunger. Volunteers will engage with individuals receiving food assistance, contribute to invaluable research on national hunger and help to affect positive change in their communities. The surveys will be conducted at Philabundance's neighborhood food pantry agency partners.
Volunteers are responsible for attending a mandatory training session, traveling to agency sites to facilitate client surveys and interacting with clients during the agency visit.
To become a volunteer, email email@example.com or call 215-339-0900. ••

Watchdog Group Calls For Cap On Farm Subsidies Some Farm Operations Received More Than $1M In Subsidies 10:45 AM, Jun 1, 2012 Share Article Watchdog Group Calls For Cap On Farm Subsidies pn.lahorton Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next More than 10,000 farming operations received federal crop insurance premium subsidies in 2011, ranging from $100,000 to more than $1 million each, according to an analysis just released by the nonprofit Environmental Working Group, a watchdog group.The study found 26 farming operations nationwide received subsidies of $1 million or more last year, including one farming operation in Indiana.But the Environmental Working Group, which obtained the records through the Freedom of Information Act, told Call 6 Investigator Kara Kenney the federal government will not release the names of the farming operations receiving the subsidies."American taxpayers have a right to know," said Chuck Hassebrook, executive director for the Center for Rural Affairs. "I think it's bad public policy to deny that information. Providing that information allows us to make more informed judgments."Records show Indiana ranks among the top 10 recipients in crop insurance premium subsidies, with more than 1,170 recipients.According to the EWG analysis, U.S. taxpayers pick up an average of about 62 percent of the crop insurance premiums for farm businesses.Their share of these premiums has increased from $1.5 billion in 2002 to $7.4 billion in 2011, according to EWG.George Patrick, a part-time professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University, said he is not surprised by the analysis."What this data shows is some of our farm programs, like crop insurance, have effectively become subsidies for the largest farms to drive their smaller competitors out of business, and (they are) keeping beginning farmers out of the industry by bidding land away from them, Patrick said. One payoff (of subsidies) is we have had a good supply of food at reasonable prices most of the time. The system is set up to be very productive."The United States Senate will debate the 2012 Farm Bill, which will possibly include caps on crop insurance subsidies.The Indiana State Department of Agriculture told RTV6 they have no authority over the process, which falls under federal legislation."Matters of this nature are decided by Congress, though given Indiana's strong agricultural standing, we certainly follow discussions that regularly arise pertaining to the farm bill," wrote Misty Livengood, spokesperson for the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, in an email to RTV6. When asked about the study's findings, Indiana's Republican U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar's office told RTV6 Friday the Senator is a "lead advocate in the Congress for reforming and eliminating farm subsidies" and supports efforts to end direct payments to farmers.Donnelly's office also gave a statement.Indiana's Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly's office told RTV6 the congressman has worked to reduce unnecessary payments in the 2008 Farm Bill."As Congress considers a 2012 Farm Bill, Congressman Donnelly expects to see further cost reductions while ensuring Hoosier farmers are protected against unforeseeable events and aren't, for example, put out of business by a streak of bad weather," wrote Meghan Kaler, press secretary for Congressman Donnelly, in an email to RTV6. "For generations, the agriculture industry in Indiana has driven our economy and strengthened our local communities by growing crops and raising livestock to feed the world and by employing thousands of Hoosiers. We need to ensure that our agriculture community continues to thrive." Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

HowieBen Corp. brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 298 Designs von 50 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We want to make healthcare and health management more appealing to patients/healthcare consumers. We are designing a portal that integrates lots of elements in healthcare including health tools, content, medical records etc and benefits, insurance, account information, debit cards etc all in one place. HOWIE part is for healthcare content and tools. BEN is for the benefits/insurance part. I want it to appeal to consumers, yet also appear innovative to Health Insurance companies and Employers who provide health insurance to people, as a new type of technology that brings things together in one place.
My thought was somehow tie some imagery (may be cartoonish but give me options) for both Howie and Ben (as if they are 2 guys) connecting the healthcare world.
patients, healthcare consumers. Just like people manage their bank accounts, i want the feeling of people managing their healthcare assets in one place.
creative, avante garde design...be innovative....not just a play on text but come up with some imagery/brand that i can use. Eventually, i will have in this website/portal, 2 tabs on the top. One for Howie, one for Ben. I will use these 2 repeatedly in the website/portal. Can you incorporate this in the logo somehow?

Britain's Prince George, 3, to start school in September
LONDON Prince George, Britain's third in line to the throne, is to start school in southwest London in September, Kensington Palace announced on Friday.
PARIS The United States became the world's biggest market for wine last year, beating France into second place for the first time as consumption slides in the country long seen as its natural home and Americans develop a greater taste for it.
U.S. consumers bought 29.1 million hectoliters of wine in 2013, a rise of 0.5 percent on 2012, while French consumption fell nearly 7 percent to 28.1 million hectolitres, the International Vine and Wine organization OIV said on Tuesday.
U.S. drinkers are, however, still way behind in terms of consumption per head.
According to per capita figures that date from 2011, the average French person still gets through almost 1.2 bottles a week, about six times more than the average American. Nevertheless, the downward trend in consumption through recent years is fairly dramatic in Europe's wine-drinking heartlands.
"In countries such as France, Italy and Spain, people used to drink a lot of wine, but consumption habits are changing," OIV director general Jean-Marie Aurand said on the sidelines of a news conference in Paris.
"We drink less wine by volume, more quality wine. And there is also competition from other drinks such as beer."
"In the U.S., it is different and they are starting from a lower level per capita, so they have a tendency to consume more and more, notably quality wine," he said.
France, the world's third largest wine producer behind Italy and Spain, saw its consumption per capita fall more than 20 percent between 2002 and 2011 to 46.4 liters per year, he said.
Over the same period U.S. consumers raised their consumption by nearly 17 percent to 9.1 liters per person per year.
The OIV said the sharp fall on the French wine market last year was exaggerated by an adjustment in its statistical data.
The Paris-based organization estimated last year's wine consumption in China down 3.8 percent to 16.8 million hectolitres after a rapid growth over the past 10 years, but Aurand played down the fall, saying this was likely due to large stocks built up in the previous years.
Without official Chinese data, OIV calculates consumption by adding estimated output and imports minus small exports.
Overall, world wine consumption last year fell by 1 percent to 239 million hectoliters after four years of near stability.
"The long-awaited recovery that will mark the end of the financial crisis, which began in 2008, is still to take place," Aurand said.
World wine production last year rose 9.4 percent to 279 million hectoliters helped by record output in Spain, Chile, South Africa and New Zealand, the OIV said.
International trade in wine fell 2.2 percent by volume to 98 million hectoliters but higher average prices in 2013 led to a 1.5 percent rise in sales to 25.7 billion euros ($35.4 billion).
French exports shed 3 percent by volume, mainly due to low 2012 output, keeping the country behind Italy and Spain in the ranking of world wine exporters, but it remained the world's top wine exporter in value at 7.8 billion euros ahead of its two main competitors.
"Things should move a different way in 2014 when you look at 2013 output, especially for Spain which has a record harvest," Aurand said.
For 2014, the OIV warned of a likely sharp fall in output in the southern hemisphere due to adverse weather conditions.
Initial estimates pointed to a fall of 20 percent in output in Argentina compared to 2013 and a drop of 10 to 20 percent in Chile after last year's hefty production. Australian production could also fall slightly, the OIV said.
Overall output in the main countries of the southern hemisphere, also including South Africa, Brazil, New Zealand and Uruguay, could fall to between 49 to 53 million hectoliters this year, down 10 percent on 2013, the OIV said.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Tack and Equipment
- - What halter to get my horses for Christmas?
What halter to get my horses for Christmas? I am one of those people that likes to get their animals Christmas gifts. This year I plan on getting my horse and pony halters with their names on them. I am not sure if I want to get nylon halters or leather halters for them. And if I get leather, I don't know if I should get them halters with nameplates or ones without and get nameplates separately. The nylon halters I would get would be these: Saddles Tack Horse Supplies - ChickSaddlery.com Personalized Monogrammed Nylon Halter The leather halters would either have a nameplate: Saddles Tack Horse Supplies - ChickSaddlery.com Popular Leather Sale Halter with Nameplate Or I would order one separate and add it onto a nicer halter. I am kind of limited on the price as I am 16 and don't have a job, but I could always get it for them later using Christmas or birthday money (my birthday is 15 days after Christmas) or try and rake leaves or something for some spare cash. I am leaning towards a nylon halter because I am afraid I will spend a lot of money on nice leather halters and they will get broken somehow, but leather looks classier IMO. Any suggestions? And, do you guys have any leather halters you like that I can get in horse and cob size, preferably dark brown? |
I just use a plain rope halter on mine (as I don't care for "fancy" just to bring them to saddle), but I look to buy a nice girth for them for the holiday. So to each own. :D But if I'd get a halter as a present (even if it's for the animal), I'd go with the leather one. Not sure about nameplate (that depends on how much more it cost for me), but it would be cute too. Edit: I voted for #3... :) |
I would go for either a leather one or a breakaway nylon halter. My horse freaks if I tie him and the rope gets over his head and the only way he calms down is if his halter snaps... So a breakaway (whatever kind) is necessary. I've heard other people be in bad situations like that, so I'm always for breakaway (they sell breakaway tabs which are nice too) |
I do have a few rope halters and some nylon ones, but they are kind of dirty. The orange clay here doesn't come out of anything, and last time I washed them they took forever to dry and weren't noticeably cleaner. I would like something to look nicer for when people come over and and end up seeing the horses, the farrier/vet comes over, or we take them places. Just want to class it up haha. All of our horses have breakaway halters, with the leather crown piece, but again the orange mud stains them. I am a neat freak about my leather tack and clean it frequently, but the nylon doesn't clean well. I guess this is more of a "what do I want for my horses?" thread haha, they probably couldn't care less with whatever I get them unless it involves food. I have never had leather halters though, so I have no clue which is best. So far it seems like leather is a winner, and I will get nameplates afterwards. |
I would definitely go with leather halters if you say your halters are getting that dirty. You can always clean and condition leather and make it look nice which is much harder to do with rope halters or nylons. Also leather doesn't rub their face as raw if you leave them unattended in the pasture for a day or two depending on how well it fits them. And name plates aren't too expensive to invest in and they're a great addition to a nice leather halter. In my opinion, you don't have to spend a lot of money on a leather halter. As long as you clean it and condition it with lots of oil(I prefer olive oil which doesn't darken the leather too much and cleans as well as conditions because of its natural chemicals) it'll be soft and beautiful! Just make sure to not leave your horses with halters on in an area where they could catch themselves; in that case, no halter is very safe.. |
I guess because "my" colors are lime green and bright purple they get noticeable dingy and dirty faster than a navy or red would. I could try to get pictures tomorrow of what I mean if it'll help any. Not sure if I am getting the leather halter with the nameplate(link in OP) or a halter I liked on smartpak.com for $55. I think adding a nameplate to that halter with the order is $12 but I am not sure. How sturdy are leather halters and how easy are they to repair? I am thinking they are comparable to leather bridles, some brands are better than others and some are really sturdy while others aren't. |

CUMMINS, JAMES (?–1849). James (Jack) Cummins, farmer and public official, born about 1773, became interested in Texas as early as July 15, 1819, while operating a salt business on the south side of the Caddo River in Arkansas. He was in Texas before June 1822 and settled on the east bank of the Colorado River, opposite the community at Beason's Ferry, site of the present town of Columbus. While he was returning east for his family, an Indian raid on his vacant settlement destroyed his corn crop and left his family without provisions when they arrived on the Colorado. He became alcalde at San Felipe de Austin on August 16, 1823, and served for four years. On July 7, 1824, as one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, he was granted six leagues and a labor of land now in Colorado and Austin counties; his land bonus was granted because he was building a saw and grist mill. The census of March 1826 listed him as a farmer and stock raiser aged over fifty. Cummins and his wife, Rebecca, were the parents of six children. His home was a community center on the Colorado River, and he took an active part in all colonial affairs, serving on committees, drafting petitions, and carrying on an extensive correspondence with Stephen F. Austin. He was with the group of settlers who went to Nacogdoches to put down the Fredonian Rebellion but was too old to take part in the Texas Revolution. He lived on Cummins Creek, now in Colorado County, until his death in 1849.

The Alphubel is a very characteristic mountain of the Wallis because of its trapezium formed silhouette of East and West, although these both sides have totally different characters: In the East, the glaciers go up to the summit and build a summitplateau of almost 1 km length from the South to the North. In the West, there goes a rock face with a similiar width 500 to 700 hm steeply down to the Weingartenglacier. From the Alphubel you have a very nice view over the Mischabelgroup and across to the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa . If there is fog, it is difficult to find the highest point of the Alphubel because of the many different summits and the summitplateau.The first climbers came from Täsch. From the other side, the Alphubel was climbed first only 22 years later. The reason was probably, that the Alphubel was more famous for the people of the Matter Valley than those of the Saaser Valley. The Rotgrat was climbed for the first time in 1889 (by George Broke with Adolf and Xavier Andenmatten). The first ascent with skis was on the 29th March 1910 from Saas Fee. Dr. Alfred von Martin and Hermann Rumpelt together with the guide Oskar Supersaxo from Saas Fee needed 9 h in order to reach the Alphubeljoch.
Alphubel is a very popular ski mountain and is usually accessed from Längflue. In summer I would suggest to climb Allalin early in the morning and then attach the Alphubel via Feekopf. If you are on a vacation, continue to the Alphubeljoch, stay at the Alphubeljoch bivouac. where the chain of Mischabel starts, and try Täschhorn and Dom next day and sleep at the Dom hut.
For the Routes compare the section Routes-Overview below.
Getting There
1. To climb the Alphubel:- a. You can either start from Längflue (2869m).
- b. or from the Täschhütte (2701 m).
- b. or from the Mischabeljoch-Biwak (3851 m).
2. Längflue:
- a. from Saas Fee take the 2 cable cars to Längflue or walk within 3 hours. The first part leads to Spielboden (2448m) and offers a beautiful walk through a forest of larch trees. Just below Spielboden you can play with marmots that leave their holes in order to beg for food. Do not feed them, they are too fat anyway. The upper part is just the opposite: the nature is being destroyed by skilift construction and all rocks had to disappear due to skiers. Very ugly!
The cable cars run only between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. - You reach Saas Fee by car or bus from Visp (Rhone valley). Last bus leaving Visp after 8 p.m. Parking place just outside the village; fee in Saas Fee around sfrs. 10 per day
- You reach Visp by car or train:
- a. from the West: From Geneva (airport) by train or on the autobahn via Lausanne- Montreux-Sion-Visp.
b. from the North: from Interlaken by train or car to Spiez, from here the road to Brig - Visp by train or by car to Kandersteg, load the car on train, pass the Loetschberg tunnel to Goppenstein and head for Visp. From farther north drive via Bern on route c.
c. from the East: from Bregenz on the autobahn to Zürich, Bern, Fribourg, Vevey to Visp. Hourly train connection.
d. from the South: either from Bellinzona to Airolo, turn left before entering the Gotthard tunnel, drive over the Nufenen pass road to Brig-Visp. From Milan take the Simplon pass to reach Brig - Visp. Dirct trains to Brig from Milan.
3. Täschhütte (2701 m):
- Starting point is Täsch (railroad, car parking for sfrs. 7.50 per day). Reach the Täschalp on a small road from Täsch via Täschberg ( 2 1/4 h, 770 hm). From there to the hut from Täschalp (Ottavan) in 1 1/4 h, 490 hm. You go on a wide way, at first a few meters along the Rotbach, and then zigzag through the hangs western below the Rotridge. You traverse below the hut and reach it from the E. This is also the winter ascent. Danger of avalanches above the Täschalp!
Täsch is accessed from Visp by train or car (parking fee!)

1 Levee Way
Newport on the Levee
Newport KY
Well I guess I ought to dispel some of the venom I heaped at Claddagh a few months ago because they took my complaints to heart when they revamped their menu for the summer. There is now a vegetarian entree listed, and it's pretty darned good.
We were on our way to another restaurant at the Levee and noticed that Claddagh had a new "Summer Taste of Ireland" menu posted, so we went over to have a look. I really wasn't expecting to find anything vegetarian, but the Stuffed Portabella piqued my interest enough to walk through the door.
The restaurant is decorated in a faux Olde World style with lots of grey stone, wrought iron and dark wood. Credit where it is due, the restaurant does look similar to the pubs we visited in Dublin a few years ago; the only thing missing was the obligatory elderly drunken Irishman spouting abuse at patrons. Oh well, you can't have everything!
Claddagh has a pleasant outdoor dining area with a picturesque view of Cincinnati's skyline, and the proximity to the Purple People Bridge makes it an ideal location for people-watching. We ordered drinks (a pint of Carlsberg for Steve, a shandy for me) and got a table on the patio to watch the show.
The shandy wasn't very good. I should have known better than to order one on this side of the pond because American lemonade is quite different from the Brit version of lemonade, which is usually served sparkling and tastes rather like a more delicately flavored Sprite. What I got at Claddagh was a lager cut with American lemonade, which gave the drink a flat, bitter aftertaste. I like my beer, but I couldn't make it halfway through this. The Carlsberg and side salad were winners though.
I'll admit that I wasn't holding out much hope for the meaty mushroom because much of the time I find them over-seasoned and oily, but Claddagh's kitchen staff showed tasteful restraint with the basil oil. The entree was not so much "stuffed" as it was layered: brie and thinly sliced tomatoes sit atop a crumb-coated portabella on a bed of sauteed spinach and cherry tomatoes. Very nice, but a little steep at $10.99. That said, I'd certainly order this entree again.
Claddagh's new summer menu also lists Banoffee Pie, a traditional British dessert made with homemade caramel, bananas and Bailey's whipped cream. I am sorry to say that I didn't get to sample the pie on this visit, but there's always next time. With a bonafied vegetarian option on the menu, a repeat visit is already in the works.

St. Francis at St. Joseph, 7 p.m.
Radio: 91.9 FM
Records: St. Francis (2-7, 0-3 in District 2-3A); St. Joseph (2-6, 1-2)
Last week: Eagle's View d. St. Francis 53-13; University Christian d. St. Joseph 56-18
Players to watch: St. Francis, RB Christian Wallace, sr. (157 rushing yards last week); QB Tommy Ferry, sr.; WR Steve Bunde, sr.; St. Joseph, Brendan Baird, fr.; RB Zach Snyder, jr.; QB Thompson Hinman, so.
Glance: Having its game against University Christian pushed back to Monday just prolonged the inevitable for St. Joseph. The Flashes trailed by 50 points at halftime and ended up playing eight-minute quarters with a running clock in the second half. That was to be expected as they faced a team in University Christian that is light years ahead of the Flashes. St. Francis is coming off a 40-point loss to Eagle's View, the same team that beat St. Joseph by 38. This season was never about winning games for the Flashes, but for first-year coach Brandon James to build a foundation from which the program can build off of for years to come. St. Joe's youth at various skill positions may be the only thing going for the Flashes in the future, but it hasn't helped much in the present.

Mars, home of Smash-loving robots and warlike creatures susceptible to coughs and the music of Slim Whitman, also known as the red planet. Because it's red. Just a lot of red dust and rocks and mountains under a sorta pale-reddish sky. A handful of Rovers from Earth here and there, a little bit of ice on the caps, but mostly red, right?
Not so right.
Get your inquisitive, helpful self along to Planet Four and you'll get access to one heck of a load of pictures taken of the surface of Mars from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. These photos will show different areas of the planet over the course of a year and the formations of carbon dioxide blotches or fans as the seasons alter. By analysing these images you'll be able to aid in the mapping of wind patterns across Mars. You'll be helping science!
Here: have some more pictures from Mars!
Below we can see the famed Spotted Dick Plateau on Mars.
These markings in the next picture look a little like tiger stripes but it would be crazy to think that Mars ever needed a means to camouflage itself among long grass when stalking prey. These are far more likely to be giant worm trails.
Vast plains covered in dried, cracked parchment. Were the ancient Martians trying to write a message that we could read across the vast distance of space. We may never know for sure but let's assume so.
Scientists won't confirm whether the regular channels in this next picture of Mars indicate the presence of cultivation in Martian history. But they won't deny it either. Mostly, they won't answer my calls.
And here we can clearly see that the native Martians have constructed a side-on portrait of one of their kings; Martians, it appears, have two mouths, probably adapted so that one can speak while the other one eats some lovely, lovely, red Mars dust.
Did I say that you should head along to Planet Four? I thought so. So why are you still reading this?

Funding Opportunities
The Role of Apolipoprotein E, Lipoprotein Receptors and CNS Lipid Homeostasis in Brain Aging and Alzheimers Disease (R01)
Funding Number: PA-09-217Funding Type: PA
Release Date: July 6, 2009
Expiration Date: September 8, 2012
Web Site: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-09-217.html
Purpose. This FOA encouarges multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research to elucidate how Apolipoprotein E, lipoprotein receptors and CNS lipid homeostasis influence brain aging and the transition to neurodegeneration in Alzheimers disease (AD). The ultimate goal is to gain an in depth understanding of the mechanisms by which the Apolipoprotein E e4 allele confers increased AD risk for the purpose of advancing the overall search for efficacious AD treatments and Apolipoprotein E e4-directed therapeutics in particular. To this end we encourage research spanning multiple levels of analysis in multiple species (from mice to man).Studies aimed at identifying new therapeutic targets for the treatment of AD and other age-related neurodegenerative conditions associated with lipid neurobiology are strongly encouraged. Also of great interest are projects that aim to use lipidomics, various types of imaging and other cutting edge technologies to identify and develop early biomarkers of neurodegeneration associated lipid dyshomeostasis. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. During Fiscal Year 2010, the estimated amount of funds available to support projects under this FOA is $2,500,000.Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary.Given the likely range of budgets, it is anticipated that 4 to 7 awards could be made during Fiscal Year 2010.The availability of funds and the number of awards in future years will depend upon annual appropriations.

in most uk regular schools (i say regular because here a public school is actually private lol confusing I know) you either pay a weekly sub for your kids school lunch or you send them with a packed lunch - parental choice.

What are you doing to get back on the court the next day after a tough match? Are you taking supplements? Ice baths? Any specific foods to target? How do u shake the soreness to prepare for battle the following day?
I think it's hard to find a instantaneous solution for recovering well enough for the next day. You can eat all those super foods and take a bath in the antarctic, and they certainly help. But, if you're not in good tennis shape, you're just not going to recover as fast as someone who is in tennis shape. Put in the gym time, do your stretches to keep you muscles/tendons flexible, and get your body ready to play back to back. Every 2 months or so, I set aside a week to play 7days nonstop. Just so my body is used to playing consecutive days.
I walk after the match. Try to stretch a little. Eat well, and take no alcohol. But I find the most important thing is to get more sleep.
A beer and sleep. Kidding. Depends on how hard I play. Generally I ice my knee or shoulder. Light stretching if I need.
After a match: 20-30 oz water 16 oz green smoothie Pb & J if I feel I need it Stretch and or foam roller Ice anywhere if I need it Hour or two extra sleep if possible Sometimes I'll take 800mg of echinacea with goldenseal if I know I won't be able to sleep a full night to do work or whatever and I have another match the next day. But like others have said, I try not to schedule back to back days. Sleep IMO is the most important factor, at least for me it is.
The #1 most important factor is eating a meal of carbs and protein AS SOON AS POSSIBLE when you're done playing. The sooner the better. This is huge and most people don't do it. After this, the basics like stretching and adequate sleep are all you should need if you're in good shape.
I of course was trying to make a joke. On a more serious note and others will tell you, playing back to back days is not great idea long term. Unlike walking, swimming and cross country skiing, tennis is very hard on your body and does damage to your body every time out. With any court based sport, to perform at a high level you have to be willing put your joints at risk along with other key body parts. While there is some great advice in this thread. on how to recover (if you do indeed need to play the next day), the best way to recover is to rest. BTW... you should not be using tennis to get into shape, you should be in tennis shape before you hit the courts.
If I have to play matches on consecutive days, I try to get a lot of sleep (12 hours or more) in-between matches and also a decent amount of stretching. I also run at least a mile a day (average of four per day) so I might just run one and make it up later in the week. It can be difficult to run four miles after a tough match. BTW, I try to avoid scheduling matches on consecutive days as I'm not a young guy anymore. The running just makes it tougher.
Those looking to recover in tennis should check out the free, easy-to-read USTA Recovery in Tennis booklet downloadable at http://assets.usta.com/assets/1/dps...ence/RECOVERY PROJECT 22410 EMAIL VERSION.pdf Among the areas covered include the following: • Nutritional Aspects of Tennis Recovery • Heat and Hydration Aspects of Tennis Recovery • Psychological Aspects of Tennis Recovery • Recovery Aspects of Young Tennis Players • Physiological Aspects of Tennis Recovery • Musculoskeletal Injuries/ Orthopedics Aspects of Tennis Injury • General Medical Aspects of Recovery • Coaching Specific Aspects of Recovery There are a lot of myths and outright falsehoods about recovery, and the USTA does a pretty good job of reviewing the best available data. Here are some samples: "As little as a 2% loss in body weight, due to dehydration, can have a major negative effect on muscle strength and power." "Having recovery drinks and food that contain sufficient levels of sodium is helpful for a number of purposes: - Replaces the sodium that is lost in sweat - Stimulates glucose (energy) absorption by the muscles - Increases the athletes drive to drink - May reduce the symptoms of exertional heat cramps, exertional heat exhaustions and exertional hyponatremia." "1. Optimize Nutritional Status Regularly checking nutritional status via blood, body composition and urine analysis by a trained professional is recommended at least once per year. 2. Carbohydrate Intake Consume 30-60 grams of carbohydrates per hour of play. 3. Protein Intake Consume 6-20 grams of protein immediately post-training or competition. 4. Timing is Important Start your nutritional recovery within 45 minutes of finishing your training session or tournament match." "DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS (DOMS) DOMS arises from the damage and repair processes that result from unaccustomed exercise with a high eccentric focus. The duration of DOMS is directly related to the exercise overload, amount of tissue damage and the fitness level of the athlete. Typically pain is at its peak between 24-72 hours, but it can last as long as 10 days." "Sport Massage Although massage does feel good and provides a sensation of reducing tight muscles, little scientific evidence is available to support claims such as improved blood flow, improved muscle strength, or significant reductions in muscle soreness. However, many studies have shown an improvement in psychological factors such as mood and well-being." "Sleep Although sleep is an area that is not yet well understood, it could be the most important form of recovery. A good night sleep between 7-9 hours provides invaluable adaptation time to adjust the physical, neurological, immunological and emotional stressors that are experienced during the day."
Good advice here. Pay attention to the mental and emotional side. Just as important, maybe more. Need to reover, refocus, figure out what went wrong, what went right, what you are going to do next time out etc. Sometimes you won the first match- too cocky. Lost the first match- no confidence.
What exactly does the foam rolling do? I'm all for anything that could possibly help, but it doesn't do jack for me so I guess it's an individual thing, unlike most of the other tips in this thread. I mean, I know dozens of seriously competitive athletes - including 3 professional athletes - and as far as I know none of them do this foam rolling business. But they all do focus on nutrient timing, nutrient ratios, stretching, and REST.
Some great responses here, thank u! I strongly recommend the foam rolling as well. If you're not feeling anything while doing it, especially if you have sore muscles, you might not be using it properly.
I use the foam roller all over prior to matches to sort of "wake up" my muscles. In between matches I use the foam roller to break up muscle spasms and knots if I can tolerate holding the roller into those knots. If not, I'll just roll over the spasms like a massage. Works everywhere....legs, lats, arms....I can use the roller horizontally up and down over my back and I'll almost always self mobilize myself. I'll lie over the roller on my back vertically and stretch my pecs and torso and arms. Can be pretty tender in some spots, so be careful. There's plenty of videos on Youtube on how to use a foam roller.
Most people are able to get this done through their primary care physician. You absolutely should ask what the cost of the testing is - it can vary widely as labs/hospitals have multiple price levels depending on what your insurer can bargain them down to during negotiations. And your insurer can cover all the cost under the "annual physical" - or have significant charges or copays for the blood and urine work. Perhaps a word on the recommendation for such testing. It is mainly directed at those playing/training at a fairly intense level. Still, my nephew was found to have an asymptomatic fairly serious kidney problem just last month having a "routine" urine test going out for the GOLF team.


text: Our haunt business is up from last year. A bad economy seems to drive people to seek escape, especially students, who are only young once and don't plan to wait till middle age or retirement to enjoy their youth. The Feds printing $600 billion to pay off debts will only hurt the economy (which is why they waited to do it until after the election) but things are bound to improve eventually. It's just going to take five or ten years for the giant inventory of house foreclosures to be sold and for things to turn around. Let's hope Washington doesn't add to many trillion in debt between now and then. Printing money to pay the bills never works in the long run.
