Anderson Silva has officially signed a deal for 10 more UFC fights.
After his win against Stephan Bonnar at UFC 153 on October 13, Silva and his management confirmed that "the Spider" had two fights left on his current deal. They also said that they would be discussing an extension with the UFC.
UFC President Dana White confirmed Saturday night that Silva's terms had been reached and that he was willing to offer the champion even more fights if he wanted them.
White said, "Ten. He signed a 10-fight deal. I don't think we've ever done a 10-fight deal. Maybe we did one with Forrest [Griffin] once, I don't remember, but Anderson said, 'I want a 10-fight deal, not an eight-fight deal.' I'll give him a 100-fight deal if he wants one."
Ten more fights will likely take three years, which would put the 37-year-old champion around 40 if he decides to leave the Octagon once the deal is done. While he is toward the top of the list of the oldest fighters in UFC, he is the most dominant champion in the sport's history, having gone undefeated since 2006 for the longest win and title defense streak.
Silva's victory over Bonnar was his 16th consecutive win. His win against Chael Sonnen at UFC 148 on July 7 was his 10th consecutive title defense. White has called him the "greatest mixed martial artist ever," and he has been widely ranked as the number one middleweight in the world.
Looking forward, Silva may be entering the Octagon against Michael Bisping if the Brit defeats Vitor Belfort at UFC on FX 7. And there is still the possibility of a superfight against welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre or light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

In some respects perhaps we should be glad Obama has turned out to be a bystander President rather than a leader. Everything he touches is either a pending disaster or an unmitigated mess.
Consider Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, Benghazi, the NSA, violating reporter's privacy, and now the ACA. Not just the roll out, but the consequences of poorly written and unread legislation paired with too many "the Secretary shall"s. These are but a few of the unmitigated messes.
The pending disasters are more far reaching in that they are global. Syria, where Assad gave up his chemical weapons in order to be able to continue slaughtering his people. Since Assad didn't really need them it was no punishment. Not following through on arming the once good guys thus allowing the extremists to gain a foothold.
Cutting off aid to Egypt because of the misguided assumption that because Morsi was duly elected he should remain in office no matter the increasingly dictatorial stance he was taking.
Libya. What more needs to be said. Over a year later no arrests for the consulate attack while the press has had a multitude of interviews with those involved.
And now he's about to ease sanctions on Iran with nothing in return. No freeze on enrichment. No dismantling of centrifuges. Leaving everything in place for Iran's nuclear program to continue. Something that has been going on since June, actually.
So what happens now? No one has considered any of the U.S. actions in the middle east to be wise. Essentially everyone will fend for themselves. The Taliban in Pakistan has elected the man who threatened school girl Malala as their new leader. Iran will get its nuke. Pakistan has agreed to sell nukes to Saudi Arabia. Saudi will continue arming the rebels in Syria. Russia may provide the nuke for Syria if deemed advantageous. Jordan will probably fall, Hamas and Hezbollah will be strengthened. Iraq will lose out to Iran as will Afghanistan to the Taliban. Al Qaeda will continue to run rampant and spread across Somalia, the Sudan and throughout the weaker African states.
Then there is Israel. With friends like us they don't need enemies! Whatever they choose to do be sure we will not be forewarned. We have opposed them, besmirched them and finally betrayed them.
All because Obama needed to divert attention from the ACA in an attempt to save his administration from total collapse. What a trade off. Every mid eastern expert in the world takes exception to our policies if thats what you want to call them. Peace in our time? Not by this President's hand.
Unless the negotiations in Geneva come to a total stand still you'll hear the other shoe we've been waiting for - drop.

Some of the ladies wearing the swimwear might be a bit huge, and this makes them feel hesitant to wear the swimsuit and the bikinis.

Today Tuesday and my son has his first whole day at nursery well woop and course I missed him. So I walked to the town centre where I live and did a few sound recordings and videos of the surroundings and I bumped into my cousin wow. It felt good one of my faves. We walk together until we reach town. And then my youngest sister calls me asking where I am. I am in town I Say to my surprise she's in town what!. This is early in the morning like 9 am+ we don't link up like this. So on a day u thought I'd be having to myself I was greeted by my sister and then nope rewind. I had an interesting message on my phone to start the day off with. I had a rough night went bed confused. The morning was soo refreshing. It gave me a sense that I am on the right track and whom ever wants to quiz me and upset me it's on them. Pow!.
So a friend of mine told me about a art Gallery in the town centre me and my sister go in and I introduce myself to the Artist P. Spowage I was nervous as you get until that persons vybz gives you permission to relax and relax I did. His presence and Aura was like fairys dancing around the gallery and his paintings spoke to me. Just felt a calmness and a connection like I was meant to be in that space place wake up that day and done what was meant to be. The whole day was a bit of mistic. Vybrations are strong. Alot is happening for me and alot has happened.

We all know what a Robot is. Well we do, or do we? Most people just think of a robot as a put together metal frame that has a plain, bland metallic voice which says "Hello" and simple words as such. But no, Robot's are not just a piece of metal put together. They are much more.
I won't go into "in-depth" making and working of Robots(who would want to, as long as they do what they are supposed to). So what are the applications of Robot's huh? Well, here are some, to name a few:-
- Space expeditions
- Surgery
- Manual labour
Okay, let's forget the Martian rovers for a while. Here are already some old-fashioned ideas. Now you want to know how contemporary robots are being designed, and to do what? Well:-
- Football
- Modelling
- Dancing
If things go as planned, there are talks about having Robot Olympics!
The applications are endless. Robots could being about a revolution, just as big as the Industrial Revolution.
Now you must be wondering why I'm going "blah-blah" about Robots.
Well, here's why:-
1. They hold a unique future prospect.
2. Bright future.
3. Fun for us(come on, Robot Olympics!)
4. Many more reasons.............
If you still don't believe me about what I said (I mean Football and Robots), this should win your trust.
I agree that Robots still have a loooong way to go, and so does the Artificial Intelligence in it. But the future is bright buddy. In fact, there are some robots in the US military which are simply awesome by today's standards. Let me tell you about them.
These Robots can withstand Mini-Nuclear attacks. Yes, they will get splattered into a thousand pieces, but they can actually (through their mode of communication, possibly radio) communicate with each other and just construct themselves into one whole again. For this, all the tiny parts are fitted with wheels which allow for transportation. And if they are unable to reunite, then each becomes a self-sustained weapon. Certainly an enemy I wouldn't want to have!

We all know what a Robot is. Well we do, or do we? Most people just think of a robot as a put together metal frame that has a plain, bland metallic voice which says "Hello" and simple words as such. But no, Robot's are not just a piece of metal put together. They are much more.
I think all of you have heard about "EARTH DAY." Basically we switch off the lights for an hour. What's the big deal right? Well wrong! It's a big - BIG deal, with BIGGER impact and consequences. The amount of power saved in that single hour is enough to, well let's just say, it's A LOT.
But don't think with this mentality that, "Earth Day is on 22nd APRIL, why do we switch off lights today?" Well, this picture ought to wash those minds of these thoughts.
You see, if we just switch of unnecessary fans and lights and other electrical devices, we are "SAVING." And if not one, not hundred, but what if thousands, or say millions do this everyday, we would be saving so much of energy the figure will leave you mind boggled and gasping. Well, I hope you don't think "Who are you to TELL US?" Simple, I do it too. No wonder my mom complains that I keep switching the lights and fans off, even if someone is sleeping in a room(I hadn't noticed!!)
Now, Earth Hour is between 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, so don't forget to switch off your lights.
Well, that's all. Now go ahead, and SAVE Earth (and Money too $$)!!
Music, melody, a charm ain't it. Hearing it pleases our ears, soothes our minds, makes us calm. I think I've already justified the importance of music in a single line!
I love music too, listening to it on my computer, radio, TV wherever possible. It's very important that there is music in our lives, without which, life no doubt becomes tad boring and monotonous. It's good enough that it cheers you up, call it a mood lifter. We all listen to music, on our iPod, whil playing games, while watching movies, even from our mobile phone and in our cars too.
We can't even imagine a world w/0 music!
I'll tell you a secret to hear geniune music:-
-Get up early in the morning.
-Get cleaned and dressed(nothing fancy).
-Go to the nearby field/park and find a spot to sit beside the trees.
-Stay there and meditate for some time.
Won't take long before you hear the melody of the birds and squrrels.
It's harmonious isn't it, and it has such qualities that can put you in a deep trance and even deeper state of mental peace and rest.
Even maybe playing the "harmonium" or the "guitar"(not the electric one please!) has similar effect on our minds and heart(it's proven that the hear beat soothes down).
So go ahead, dash with those tunes.
Well, in our life, we move to different places, meet many people, and meet different TYPES of people too. There are many types, and I've come across many, so here's a quick description:-
Cool - These people only care about how they are looking, how their hair is and whether their dress and hair is shabby or not. They don't give a darn to others, and many a times, find it pleasing to insult others, even if it's behind their backs.
Weird - I mean, everyone must have come across some of these people, they act strangely, talk about unexpected things, are totally unpredictable, and sometimes, you'll wonder where have you gotten yourself stuck. However, they don't hold ill will against anyone.
Geeky - There are "bookworms." They study in class, do everything to impress their teachers, come with all homework done, and if anyone hasn't done theirs, they make sure to tell the teacher!
Easy Going - These are the ones who don't care about what others think about themselves and do what they really want. And these guys are my friends. They are the most fun to be with too! They make studying in a class fun and relaxing, not to mention humorous.
Players - The players, as soon as break time starts, they would be playing in the field, or badminton court, or basketball or volleyball court. They are determined about their sport, and I like being like them too. These have the most fun, and know how to game on!
So, I pretty much have given an in-short description of different types of people in school and college mostly. Hope you are able to identify yourself among one of them.
Well, enough said, now let's get to actually doing something. If you have a discrete graphics, especially one which consumes a lot of power, then I think you're gonna benefit from this post a lot.
What you need:
-Riva Tuner
A small software that allows you to overclock or down clock your ATi/nVidia graphics card and save them as profiles.
Download link - ww.guru3d.com/rivatuner/
Getting Started:
-Okay, now install the program, and run it.
-Now select the "Customise" option beside "ForceWare Detected."
-Now Select the first icon, the one with the picture of a graphics card.
-Now, in the "Overclocking" tab, select the lowest possible clock speeds(usually about 50-75 MHz more than the minimum that your card can go). Do this for both the 'Core' and 'Memory'.
-Save this as profile "Project GREEN."
-Now go to the "FAN" tab.
-Reduce the fan speed in "Standard 2D" to about 11%.
-Reduce the fan speed in "Low Power 3D" to 17%.
-Now, save the profile as "Project GREEN."
That's it, you're done! That was easy wasn't it? Now, the power consumption of your graphics card will reduce to anywhere between 15%-50% depending on your usage patterns and clocks set.
That's all that takes to reduce power consumption, down clocking the processor isn't that good an option as you'll have to restart for default settings again.
But Intel's Speed Step and AMD's Cool 'n Quiet technology ensures that your consumption stays in check.
So, what we did today:
- We reduced wasteful power consumption of our graphics card.
- The performance while gaming will in no way be affected.
- This will also drastically reduce temperatures at non-intensive operation times and thus, increase the life of your graphics card!
This post is about dogs. Most kids are always attracted to dogs, pups, better known as 'doggie'. There are some who hate dogs and want all strays to be killed. To them, and their thoughts and minds, I shower my pity.
Well, human couples live together and stand by each other all the time. But never had I seen such a dog couple. One evening, late last year with winter just round the corner, I was headed to the football field as usual, but to my surprise, I found a litter of six dogs on the way, all shoved away into a pit dug out of a deposit of mud. THEY must have been only few days old. Their mother was nearby and prevented me from coming nearer.
From then onwards, me and my family would regularly feed the mother. And pretty soon we found their father too, who stayed in another dug pit just behind the pups. Never did the two leave their pups alone, one was always on guard while the other was out in search of food. After some time, they began allowing people to touch their pups. That must have been the reason why people took the chance, and whiffed away three of the pups.
After a few weeks, we found only two pups to remain(we had gone on a holiday). The pups could now go about wherever they want. They were capable of barking and running, although only as fast as their little trotting would permit. After a few days, to my horror, I found one pup dead, crushed under the wheels of a car, and the last one died in a similar fashion just a few days later.
....The couple still remains there, they lavish me with love and try to jump up on me or any family member with affection whenever they see us, but they have been left childless, curse those reckless drivers!!!
Well, these pictures aren't of those pups, but some new pups that we found in the field that my house overlooks, and they have immediately become everyone's sweethearts. There were initially four of them, one was taken away by someone, hope it got a good home. Three of the pups remain, who are fed by us and other people of the community regularly. They love playing, absolutely, and they lick wherever their tongue permits!
They have their mother, and father, the father trains them often, and sometimes sleeps with them, playing late into the night, or running with them early in the morning. Their mother is very very protective and twitches her ears at the slightest sound. We take utmost care that they do not step out of the field, at least till they are big and old enough, and anyways, the field is big enough to accommodate all their needs.
These pups aren't even 2 months old. Aren't they superbly cute!!!!!!!!!!!
We all dream of a perfect holiday, away from the city, away from the touches of mobile network, no more loud cars honking all day, no more threatening calls from your boss. It's just you, or more if permit. It's all the more away from any civilization.
Whenever I think of such a paradise, two places come up to my minds:-
1. The Amazon forests
2. Isolated islands north of Australia
I once saw a programme on Animal Planet, and I must say, it left me awestruck. The breathtaking beauty of the islands, of those birds, I wish I could post their pictures here too, but try as I might, I can't find them. These places have the quality to put any one to the deepest of the calmness, pushed into depths with nothing but just the sounds of the birds chirping, or the rustling of the trees, or maybe the waves crashing down like the very Poseidon in joy.
Ti's just so interesting, how the power nature can work such wonders right in front of us, and yet many of us never pay it the slightest heed till we actually experience it.
Such is the case with animals too, but that will have to wait for now.
Petrol prices have fallen, now there's no worry, you don't need to turn off the car at every signal. How does it matter? After all there enough fuel for the next 50 years right? Or so we think.
Well, at the current rate, petrol will give an answer right in our next generation, yes your kids, your life. Don't you want to save anything for them? What, how selfish can you get? Want everything for ourselves. It's our duty to save fuel. And thus I wish to spread this message through this post and hope it reaches out to a lot of people.
Simple tips to save money, your money, and our future are :-
1. Make use of recyclable things.
2. Keep car off when idle.
3. Use new LED technology lights, which barely take less than a 10th of power of the bulbs, but overall, the cost is much less.
4. Do try to follow at least one of these.
You must be thinking, who's this fellow, going gaga about what we already know. But what we already know, we aren't acting up to it, and it's very very important that we do so. And it isn't like most others that I only say, but I do.
Working 9 to 5, 6 days a week, or succumbing under school and peer pressure. Scared not to be able to perform, or maybe just a little too tired to always win. In all this, we have forgotten one little, but very important aspect of life. Peace and happiness. Yes, these are the greater things in life. No, your getting into IIT institution, or successfully gotten 1st rank in class, these have little significance in what we'll do in life, and what we would become.
It's very important to once-in-a-while step out of the monotonous, routine life that we ourselves have created and look out to something beyond it. Just look around you for instance. Go to the park or field nearby, go sit in one place early in the morning, and just calm down and relax. No, you don't need to check your twitter, facebook or messenger, nor do you have a phone call to make. No, for a little while, sit down and close your eyes and try not to think of anything. Instead try to take in as much as you can inside you, the soft sound of birds chirping, the vibrant colour of the sun rays against your closed eyelids, the sound of the trees swaying, or maybe just some of the oldies of a laughter club going about their laugh.
Was that a new experience, something you haven't tasted before eh! These are some of the greater things in life. Yes, greater than upgrading your last year's computer, or buying a new game for PS3/DS/Wii/PS2/XBox360/PC(gosh there are too many!!).
It's not like asking you to quit these, as if I can live without them, but pay attention to other things around you. Now I'm not a nature lover or something, but have you ever thought of recycling, or simple things you can do like switching off bulbs and fans in an unused room. These are some things more important that knowing who's the new fitness guru on Wii.
I've always wanted to end up a week in the Amazon, or just get rid of this city life and relax on a beach. Then there's the isolated but feast-to-the-eyes islands just north of Australia, but now that's another story........

ISL: Chennaiyin, ATK share spoils in 1-1 draw
Chennai, Nov 20 (IANS) Title holders Chennaiyin FC and former champions Atletico de Kolkata's (ATK) chances of semi-final qualification were left hanging in the balance after a 1-1 draw in an Indian Super League (ISL) football clash here on Sunday.
Atletico de Kolkata enjoyed a first-half lead through marquee player Helder Postiga (39th minute) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. But Chennaiyin were stronger in the second session and got the equaliser through Davide Succi in the 77th minute.
The draw left Chennaiyin in the sixth spot with 14 points from 11 matches. ATK moved to the third spot with 15 points from 11 matches, the same as FC Pune City and Kerala Blasters. ATK have a better goal difference than Pune and Kerala.
ATK coach Jose Molina left Canadian striker and ISL's highest goal scorer so far Iain Hume on the bench.
Hume's absence didn't hurt ATK much as they were on the offensive right from the kick-off. The visitors should have been ahead in the third minute when a cross from Lalrindika Ralte towards the far post saw Postiga rise highest but his angled header hit the sidebar and bounced back into play.
It was a lucky escape for Chennaiyin, who took time to settle down. Thy had a chance to surge ahead but Dutch midfielder Hans Mulder's half-volley was parried away by ATK goalkeeper Debjit Majumder.
Chennaiyin were disciplined defensively and looked like going into halftime goalless. But Postiga struck with six minutes to the breather. Defender Pritam Kotal sent an accurate cross inside the penalty box where Postiga headed past goalkeeper Karanjit Singh.
Chennaiyin were much improved in the second session while going forward. Italian striker Davide Succi was at the end of most chances created by the hosts but lacked sharpness.
In the 56th minute, he was put clear by Zakeer Mundampara on the right but Succi's first touch took the ball away, forcing him to miss the target.
Succi had another chance in the 71st minute when all alone inside the box after being at the right end of a through ball. The Italian drew out the goalkeeper and cut past him but his final shot only ended up hitting the side netting.
After two misses, Succi finally converted his third chance in the 77th minute, rising high to head a ball into the net.
Chennaiyin should have got all three points from this game but for their wayward strikers who squandered plenty of chances.

CAIRO — The historic election of Egypt's first Islamist president collided immediately with the political reality that the ruling military council has amassed legislative and executive powers in a strategy to block the Muslim Brotherhood from controlling the Arab world's most populous nation.
Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi defeated Ahmed Shafik, the last prime minister to serve deposed leader Hosni Mubarak, the national elections commission announced Sunday. The race polarized the country and foreshadowed the political maneuverings certain to shape Egypt's incendiary transition to democracy after decades of autocratic rule.
Morsi's ascendancy was tempered by the army's recent move to reduce the president to a figurehead by limiting his authority over the national budget, military leadership and power to declare war. A court ruling this month that dissolved the Islamist-led parliament allowed the military to seize lawmaking privileges even as it angles to further cement its grip by guiding the drafting of a new constitution.
But when the results of the June 16-17 runoff were announced, cheers and fireworks erupted among thousands of Morsi supporters camped in Cairo's Tahrir Square. It was a rare moment of celebration, but it didn't linger, as activists vowed they would continue their sit-in until the army relinquishes power.

Mr. Putter knows what he likes, and dancing is not on the list. But his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry has been watching ballroom dancing on TV! She talks the reluctant Mr. Putter into coming along for an evening at the Crystal Ballroom, along with fine cat Tabby and good dog Zeke, of course. The ballroom is full of sparkles—and surprises. What a wonder!

ANNAPOLIS -- The voices of Maryland's recreational and commercial fishermen were heard yesterday during an Economic and Environmental Affairs Committee hearing on Senate Bill 575, the Rockfish Preservation Act of 1991.
During more than two hours of testimony, sportfishing interests praised SB 575 as a method by which the state's recovering stocks of rockfish could be further conserved.
Representatives of commercial fishermen, the charter-boat industry and the Department of Natural Resources opposed the bill.
"Senate Bill 575 is a proposal that sets a new direction as to how we deal with our state fish and those who fish for them, commercially or for recreation," Sen. Michael J. Collins, D-Baltimore County, said in introducing the bill.

I think eating insects is a good way to reduce unfairness around the world about food. It will allow feed developing countries like South Africa, Asia, New Zealand, etc…
Even if developed countries think that this consumption is disgusted and uncommon, everyone eats what one wants. It's a new practice, and like new practice, it's controversial. But I repeat, it's an interesting way to reduce unfairness, and also to decrease pollution cause by livestock and means of transportation. It may be an environmental progress.
In my opinion, eating insects is a good way to feed worlds population, and stop the pollution due to meat production. In fact, we all know tat meat production pollutes a lot, but the problem in that people find insects too disgusting, so, in my opinion, the solution is to eat insect, but restaurants should not serve insects just as they are, they should present it like a steack or something like that.
I think eating insects ins a good idee to Help people who are hungry. ThEre is so much people who are in need and can't buy meat for example. Besides it ´s better for the environment bécasse it' s use less Poluting and it'´s easier to form. We can find insects everywhere contrary to cheese or bref. Thank to eating insects we can stop the world Hunger.
I agree with Entomophagy because insects coutains many proteins and it's healthy. In many country people eating insects , this is not a problem. They are more open-minded then our. For me this is not a problem because a insects is like than meat or fish. This is somehow a animals. In the world they are 2 millions people eat insects while they are so much insects in the world. If everybody eat insects , his would the end of famine.
I think that I will be able to eat insects because I eat yet snails. And then entomophagy could contribute to the decrease of the famine in the world. Insects represent more than half sorts at present known on Earth. They recover aproximately 70% of the biodiversity. It's a very trustful solution so quantitatively as qualitatively because most of insects are present in Asia and in Africa where the famine rages.Indeed insects are very rich in ^proteins and can fill certain nutritionnal deficiencies in developing countries.Furthermore they are easy to raise and reproduce very quickly.
I think is possible to eat insects because they are edible. Insects don't gone-off and have many proteins like meat. Eating insects brings many nutritious in our organism It's good for our health.
It's beneficial for environment and economy. . We could eat insects raw and cooked. Eating insects permits to reduce pollution and greenhouse goses. So I think is possible to eat insects.
I think eating insects is a good idee to help people who are hungry. There is so much people who are in need and can't buy meat for example. Moreover it's better for the environment because it's less poluting and it's easier to form. We can find insects everywhere contrary to cheese or beef. Thank to eating insects we can stop the world Hunger, so I could eat it if i'm really hungry and can't eat an other food!
Even if I found this really disgusting when I think about eating warms, caterpillars, ants, beetles and all, I know it could stop world hunger. Besides, I think society made us think that eating insects is disgusting, but it is certainely not : some civilizations eat this kind of food in everyday's life. Most of all, I would do anything to stop pollution caused by meat production. Eating insects uses way less ressources than meat production! It is an environnmentally-friendly method which make very few green-gases and which could save the world. It's easy to farm and insects don't need to be feed because they feed on our waste, whereas bovines need a lot of food. Finally, in addition to the fact that it reduces pollution, it is healthier than anything; it is full of calcium, fibers and iron, and there is less fat and more proteins than in meat.
However, I have to say I think I would really miss eating good meat...
I think that eating insect could be a solution to fight against starvation, but I think that I will leave this to other persons. For example, in Africa! Concerning pollution, yes, I think that entomophagy could be a solution. Some research prove that eating insects provide the same proteins that meat, but the productions of insects is better for the environment.. So i'm realy torn bitween to things because I want to portect the environment bu i think I'm not really ready to eat insects because I really hate some insects like spiders, dragonfly, or wasps..... But we should try a day!
I think that Entomophagy is a food revolution. It has some positive point it contains proteins, calcium, iron and it is no fat. It stop world starvation because it's realy simple to cook insects while meat ask more time must be prepared for eating besides we find many insects on the world, but only two millions people already eat insect. Finally Entomophagy is few greenhouse gazes.
In my opinion, the ideology of entomophogia is absolutely aberrant! 2 million people already eat insects and they're just crazy. I can't try to eat insects because it's psychological, maybe you think that I'm too selfish to protect the environment but it's impossible to me. Moreover, insects like grubs, worms or catterpillars look disgusting even if it's full of proteins, calcium, iron, etc... Nevertheless reducing the impact of agriculture is a good cause but entomophagia isn't an appetizing habit to have. If eating insects is the only solution to survive and preserve the environment, maybe I'll do it.
I never eat insects because this look of insects is not appetizing. Frequently, the insect have a lot of legs, antennas or maybe pincer this is repulsive and sickening. The insects are a little quantity so i didn't see the interest from taste. Maybe for money, I can eat insects or against something by exchange.
I hate insects. It's my phobie. I think it's digusting. Even if it's healthy and better for the Earth I love too much meat to eat insects and psychological impossible. Maybe I'm too selfish to take care of our beautiful Earth. But no, I truly can't eat bugs or creepy crawleys, moreover that's not appetizing to see it in our plate whatever if it's containes proteins, calcium, iron etc...
But I admit it's a really good idea to protect the environment and the day where we will not find meat maybe I will eat dragonfly or catterpillars because it's the less disgusting for me.
I know that eating insect would decrease pollution and all but ... That's disgusting ! I just can't put these things in my mouth ! I think it's not in the European culture to eat insect because that's disgusting for us.
There is many other way to protect the planet so, until eating insect isn't an obligation, I won't do it.
In some poor countries, eating insects can replace the meat they can't have. But here, in France, we have meet, so, WHY should we eat insects? I don't think I could be able to eat insects because seeing them disgust me, so I can't imagine eating them. I'm not ignoring the fact that eating insect is better for the environment, and also good for the health because it contains many vitamins! But sorry, that's not for me!
In my opinion, entomophagy is a incredible, a wonderful, a unbelievable idea, but it's for me very disgusting.. I mean, i hate insects, it's my phobia, so i can't eat it ! I believe those sciensist which says that entomophagy is a revolution, because instect have many proteins, it can save the food problems in the world , it's maybe very environmentally friendly, but i take care about entomophagy. I can't eat insects, it's not in my education and my culture, but maybe my children (if i have children of course) will eat insects. He will eat my phobia .. Intresting, ins't it ?
In my opinion, to eat insect without be disgusted, we have to be used to do this since we are child. Entomophagy is something special, it has to be into our culture, or we have to be easy-going, to try very lot of unknown things, that's why we found this almost only in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Oceania. 1,417 known species of arthropods are edible to humans and into them there are as many proteins as in conventional , this can help environment to survive; but for eat insect instead of eat conventional meat, we have to work in peaople's mind before.
In my opinion, I can't eat meals with insects because I find it's disgusting even if it's for the earth and to depress polution. I know that I never can eat insects. I prefer eat meat production. Morever, there are others manners to save the planete and I prefer select my trashs than eat insects.
I wouldn't be ready to eat insects even if it's to stop polluting because I'm disgusting by this. Some people say that it is normal and everyone can do it without taking danger but I will always be afraid to eat this food. However I believe that it's a good alternative to the meat It's a good way to see the future and I respect people and country who are ready to eat insects.
I think I can't be ready to eat instects to stop pollution caused by meat production because it's a very good idea, it's going to reduce the pollution, and save animals but I will not be able to eat insects because, for me it's digusting, moreover even if insects are meat it's not like we are eating meat, it's so weird and for me.

The eShutter Control Box from Rodenstock is connected by a cord to the Box's "Shutter" port. Data transfer from the computer to the eShutter control is done via USB 2.0 technology, which also acts as a power supply for the shutter when necessary in certain situations, as well as a serial interface with adapter for a PC sync terminal and digital backs. You can even synchronize a camera flash via the X-Contact port to allow more creative control over lighting and exposure.
An external power supply (external power supply unit or battery) is recommended for faster exposure rates, including the maximum 1.5 frames per second. The shutter can be fully controlled from your computer, as well as an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad via a Wi-Fi connection. The eShutter Control App is available free of charge from the Apple App Store.
Note: An exposure sequence of one image per second can only be achieved by using an external power supply. The power supply must have an output between 5 and 24 volt. Power with a different output may damage the interface box and the eShutter, and voids all warranties and guarantees.

Gr8 R8 8/8 0n 1gn M8!!!!1
if you played raze i have the highest score in capture the flag 115-8
I love this game it has so much to it. Music is really well done. Replay value is awesome. Storytelling is interesting. Most of all you can set how hard to what points go where. You can upgrade units in a meaningful way. All of this is just a small part i notice the passion that went into the game.
Excellent game, I do love how you can set your own preferences on how tough a round will be in a match, that's what makes this game stand out from the other TD games. Great work, Great game. Keep it up.
I love tower defense games and this one is one of the best. There is sooo many ways you can play this game. The versatility is beyond most defense games. The upgrade system and points system are truly unique. The hero system is unique. And I would expect nothing less from Axis Games and Armor games. Awesome. 5/5

Monarchs to Play at Idaho, Host Rhode Island in 2013
By ODU Athletics
Oct. 22, 2012
NORFOLK, Va. - The Old Dominion football program has announced two additional games for the 2013 schedule. The Monarchs will host Rhode Island on Nov. 2 and play at Idaho on Nov. 9.
"Rhode Island gives us a quality home game with a former Colonial Athletic Association rival," ODU Athletic Director Dr. Wood Selig said. "Idaho is the first series with an FBS opponent and look forward to competing against them in the future."
Idaho will be making a return trip to Norfolk to play the Monarchs in 2019. As the Monarchs begin their transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision of NCAA football and as a Conference USA member, the program must play a mixed schedule of FBS and FCS opponents in 2013.
ODU will be ineligible for conference and NCAA post-season play next season, however will add eight Conference USA opponents to the 2014 schedule, before joining the C-USA as a full member in 2015.
The Idaho contest is the third FBS opponent scheduled for the 2013 season, as ODU will play at the University of Maryland on Sept. 7 and at the University of North Carolina on Oct. 12.
The Monarchs will also play a two-year series with Norfolk State, travelling to the Spartans stadium on Oct. 26, 2013 and hosting NSU in 2015. Future C-USA member UNC Charlotte will visit Foreman Field at SB Ballard Stadium next season on Nov. 16. Idaho will be an FBS independent in 2013 and has appeared in two bowl games as a program, playing and winning the Humanitarian Bowl twice.
ODU has played Rhode Island once, defeating the Rams in Kingston, 31-23 in 2011.

Benefits Of Water Aerobics
Here are 5 benefits of water aerobics. Water aerobics is a revolutionized merger of water sport and health. To do water aerobics, you don't have to know how to swim well. Standing in the waist-deep water is good enough to maximize all the benefits of water aerobics.
- Water Aerobics benefits because it ensures that exercising routines are well, not routine. Water aerobics are fun, enjoyable, and fat-burners. How is water aerobics different from regular aerobics? The number one difference is that the exerciser is in a swimming pool and uses exercising gear associated with water sports such as beach balls etc.
- Water Aerobics benefit the exerciser by providing increased resistance. Due to the volume of water; the body gets a thorough workout strengthening muscles more than an exercise in thin, open air.
- Water Aerobics benefits the limbs. Water's natural buoyancy lessens the chances of joint, back, or muscle injury during vigorous exercise. Water's fluidity adds to flexibility so that feats achieved in the water are not necessarily possible on dry land. Water aerobics increases the body's flexibility since the water facilitates movement and places less stress on the limbs.
- Water Aerobics is beneficial to the exerciser since it refreshes, minimizing the body's overheating and perspiration. Constant water immersion cools the body so that you can exercise for a longer time without the high temperature exhaustion.
- Water aerobics benefits primarily people who have a delicate health condition. The obese, elderly, or severely injured can perform aqua-physical therapy. Doctors recommend water aerobics because it improves the cardiovascular system, giving the heart a hale and hearty exercise.

The Age of Awakening
Castle Artegia
Currently "owned" by Teadora of Pelos, Artegia was formerly a forgotten ruin. It now stands as a kind of base for the resistance against The Kaimera. Teadora is quick to offer Artegia as a shelter for those in need; however, the castle is well defended, especially thanks to Paelias, who conveniently affixed his wizard tower to the old castle. An immense cavern looms beneath Artegia, the former home of demons which have since seen the light.

[YOUR NAME HERE] thought you might be interested in this story from the University of Rochester.
MEDIA CONTACT: Melissa Greco Lopes (River Campus) firstname.lastname@example.com
December 2, 2008
Beginning in fall 2009, one fortunate freshman attending the University of Rochester's College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering will receive some extra financial aid not from loan companies or the federal government, but from fellow students. The Midnight Ramblers Scholarship is the first permanent scholarship funded through a student-alumni partnership at the University. The Midnight Ramblers, a premier a cappella group on the campus, created the $5,000 award for an incoming freshman who demonstrates an appreciation and passion for music innovation.
"The Ramblers have been giving to the University community in extraordinary ways for the last 10 years," said Jonathan Burdick, dean of admissions and financial aid. "This is one more example of their dedication to the success of musical performance here."
Funds for the scholarship are raised through the sale of the Midnight Ramblers 10th anniversary anthology CD, which was created last year. A portion of the money earned from live performances also will supplement the scholarship endowment. The group plans to increase the amount of the scholarship over the next few years.
"This scholarship is especially meaningful because of the partnerships between the Ramblers, the admissions office, and our alumni," said senior Asher Perzigian, a four-year member of the Midnight Ramblers. "One of the founding goals of the Ramblers has been to enrich the community through a cappella, and this is a new, innovative way for us to meet that goal, and it's made possible through their support."
Since its inception in 1998, the all-male singing group has produced seven studio albums and has been featured on the nationally acclaimed Best of College A Cappella compilation CD. The group has also been invited to sing the national anthem at several Major League Baseball games and other sporting events throughout the country. The Ramblers volunteer throughout the City of Rochester and will head to New Orleans in March to perform in several of the municipalities stricken by Hurricane Katrina.
The University of Rochester (www.rochester.edu) is one of the nation's leading private universities. Located in Rochester, N.Y., the University gives students exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary study and close collaboration with faculty through its unique cluster-based curriculum. Its College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering is complemented by the Eastman School of Music, Simon School of Business, Warner School of Education, Laboratory for Laser Energetics, Schools of Medicine and Nursing, and the Memorial Art Gallery.

I have tickets to four shows as we speak (Loretta Lynn for my mom, Rick Springfield, Goo Goo Dolls, and Five for Fighting). I hope Loretta plays. She recently had a stroke but so far that show is not cancelled and she's been adding new ones. God speed to her.
I've thought about sitting down and trying to figure out the bands I've seen and times. Would take some research. Like, how do I know how many times I've seen Loudness open for someone, or how many times I've seen Springfield (I think this is my tenth trip). Would be a great list - I know that.
Journey is the only other band I have seen 10 times. 7 with Perry, 2 with Augeri, and 1 with Arnel. 5 of those Perry shows were on the ROR tour. And then 82 and 83. Saw Steve solo twice.
Loretta cancelled her tour today.

Hot and real.
Earlier this month I attended an industry forum, which hosted a number of panels discussing several issues before our sector of business. One panelist was an extremely attracive business school professor.
She was a tall brunette, with her hair worn up (I don't know hairstyles, forgive me) and a very airy, patterned minidress with a very short hem. She had nice toned thighs and calves and wore modest heels (probably no more than two inches) but still walked in them like she meant business. Every man in the room noticed her. But she was cheerful, very knowledgeable and interested in her field, and extremely engaging in discussing it. So while I can't say she was oblivious to her own good looks, it certainly didn't appear as though she was flaunting anything.
I sat near the front of the room and when her panel was seated at the table, I noticed I had a very nice vantage point to peer up the professor's skirt. She crossed and uncrossed her legs several times, affording me a nice view of the insides of her thighs. It was too dark to get a look at her panties, but my penis grew rock solid as I imagined Miss Mystery Lady knowingly flashing her bare pussy to me, feeling the light air-conditioned breeze chill the wetness against her smooth pussy lips.
We did not make eye contact but at one point I was certain she had caught me spying on her. If she had, she still did nothing to stop the show. My cock strained against my right pants leg, forming a hard outline of its mushroom head against the fabric. When the panel closed, a large dot of precum had oozed through my boxers and darkened my crotch.
During the break I dashed for a restroom well away from the event hall, determined not to waste the sight, fresh in my mind, of her soft, delicate thighs parting and jiggling and spreading and opening for me. I locked myself in a handicapped stall and went to work. I like to use lubrication so I spit into my left hand and rolled my wrist, working my thick, agonizingly hard penis. The purple head flared and precum flowed from the slit as I fantasized about the professor sitting in my hotel room, crossing and uncrossing her legs while I masturbated for her. The fantasy concluded with her hiking up her dress and spreading her legs, furiously dialing her clit while I jacked off all over her soft, smooth pussy, showering her sex with endless streams of hot, silky cum.
When I looked up, I had fired my load against the cold bare metal of the stall divider, about two thick streams' worth. I let it dribble down while I caught my breath before mopping it up with some tissues.

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas women's basketball team officially begins its 2013-14 season hosting Sam Houston State inside Bud Walton Arena on Friday,&with tip&set for 11 a.m. as part of Elementary Day.
The Razorbacks have built a 36-1 all-time record in home openers, with defending Southland Conference regular season champion, Sam Houston State, visiting Fayetteville to begin this season's campaign.
"It's always good to play at home," head coach Tom Collen said. "I think it's probably always a team coming in here and playing the first game against a BCS team, they probably have a tendency to be a little nervous. That probably helps tilt it a little bit."
The fifth all-time meeting of the two programs, the Razorbacks hold a 4-0 all-time record against the Bearkats.
"We played Sam Houston a couple years ago and they really gave us a battle," Collen said."They did some things defensively that we really weren't ready for yet. Hopefully we won't get caught off guard this time and we'll be ready to go."
The last time the two team's met during the 2009-10 season, the Razorbacks lit up the scoreboard on their way to scoring more than 100 points at home&and winning by a 106-78 final score.

Pregnant mothers can benefit from understanding how to teach their soon-to-be children good oral care.
Expectant low-income moms in California will now be able to get their children off to a good start through an education program on healthy dental techniques for kids, reports the Redlands Daily Facts.
The media outlet notes the Center for Oral Health (COH) will provide pregnant mothers with hygienist visits through its clinics. The women will get an assessment of their dental risks. They may also receive tips, such as refraining from sharing utensils with young children.
Speaking to the news outlet, Arlene Glube, director of the COH's operations in Southern California, noted that "it is not uncommon for parents to clean a pacifier in their mouth. What they are doing is transmitting bacteria that live in their mouth to the child."
Redlands Daily Facts also reported that many of the mothers are covered under Medi-Cal, which is often not recognized by dentists.
According to a study by Pew Center on the States, only 31 percent of children enrolled in Medi-Cal received proper dental care in 2007.

Below I decided to list some of my true confessions, some of which I should probably be embarrassed to admit but what the heck...
1) I like SPAM. No, not the annoying commercialized emails and messages that flood your inbox. I'm talking the canned food variety of SPAM. My mom used to prepare it with sliced pineapples, brown sugar, and mustard and then bake it in the oven. That's some fine budget eatin'!
2) I still sometimes find myself counting on my fingers or in my head when I'm doing addition and subtraction.
3) I once cheated on a test in high school Algebra II. It still guilts me to this day.
4) I'm a "glass half empty" kind of person. I tend to automatically expect the worst out of people and situations.
5) I secretly can't stand one of my teenage daughter's classmates. She's spoiled and I'm thinking she's probably promiscuous, too.
6) I've always harbored a little crush on Dick Cheney. And, on Benjamin Netanyahu.
7) I'm not a big believer in global warming.
8) I refuse to use those energy-efficient, mercury-laden light bulbs.
9) I hate football. I have tried and tried, but I cannot comprehend the rules or understand why anyone enjoys it.
10) I often keep Reese's Peanut Butter Cups hidden in my house so that I don't have to share them with anyone.
Ok, now it's your turn. Fess up one of your true confessions...

South of Boston
The two men are standing on the side of
The road, the threshold of the field before
Them, and the fire from the barn can be felt
A hundred yards away, a soft, warm prickle.
The two are silent, and from the first to
The second, one passes a joint to the
Other, a careful pinch of the paper.
"It's been burning since last night."
"Surely not."
"I'm not lying."
And the barn was burning, all through the night
And the morning. The rapture of the ash
And the little flames was a dancing, fleeting
Affair, stretching the orange ghosts into
A miraculous, matte blue cloud. They smoke.
"It's really been burning all night?"
"All morning too."
"Damn." – long inhale – "Even candles only have so much wax."
Long exhale. The two men, although they are
Really not even men, the two men watch
From across the long field, backs to the road,
The liminal dome connecting their globe
to the sky and the barn and the rapture.
There are cars, for it is noon, or rather
There must now be cars, for it is noon, but
None stop and no one stands on the road with
The two boys to watch the fire, to watch the
Barn slowly ebb away and lose its mettle.
"You have any butts?"
"Not with me" – tapping his jacket's sides.
There is a path through the field, made with feet,
A little ways to their left. There is no crop;
The field is completely, surely dead.
And so the path is the only thing in
The field, the only human connection
Between the boys and the barn, the great fire.
"It's pretty hot as is."
"I shouldn't get any closer."
And the rapture is beautiful before
Them and to the entire world around them,
And no cars stop to watch heaven's calling
And no man or boy hears a father's call
Until the fire has ascended on past
The gold, the white, the leaves, the blue, the stars.
"Sure is a good fire, though."
BIO: Jacob Johnson is a fiction and poetry writer from Massachusetts.

The 1841 Census for England was taken on the night of 6 June 1841. The following information was requested:
*The ages of people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years. Therefore, someone who was actually 24 years would have their age listed as 20, and someone who was actually 27 years old would have their age listed as 25.
**The "Where Born" column only asked two questions - 1) whether born in same county, and 2) whether born in Scotland, Ireland, or Foreign Parts. Possible answers and abbreviations to question #1 include: Yes (Y), No, (N), or Not Known (NK). For question #2, the following abbreviations were used: Scotland (S), Ireland (I), and Foreign Parts (F).
Enumeration forms were distributed to all households a couple of days before census night and the complete forms were collected the next day. All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 6 June 1841 for all individuals who had spent the night in the house. People who were travelling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they spent the night on census night. All of the details from the individual forms were later sorted and copied into enumerators' books, which are the records we can view images of today. The original householder's schedules from 1841 to 1901 were destroyed.
The clerks who compiled and reviewed the census data made a variety of marks on the returns. Unfortunately, many of these tally marks were written over personal information and some fields, such as ages, can be difficult to read as a result. More useful marks include a single slash between households within a building and a double slash separating households in separate buildings.

The 2015 Diversity Almanac
How does one observe the Rutgers experience? After all, while we digest Rutgers in a series of daily circuits, Rutgers sprawls across space, time, intellect, and culture, so much so that we acknowledge that there's a Rutgers out there beyond our personal reach. At the same time, we aspire to academic excellence, to engage every student who arrives, as well as to reach out to alums and a large external constituency. As a result, we require metrics to mark our progress.
This almanac seeks to provide some of those metrics. As we aspire to develop diversity and inclusion as theme and foundation, we require a better understanding of who we are. The Diversity Almanac addresses that necessity by assembling data from multiple sources, in order to illustrate the dimensions of diversity at Rutgers. Admittedly, it's a complex picture. To begin with, we situated Rutgers data within the context of New Jersey and the states that make up the region. To give a more targeted context, we have situated the data within the frame of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) , because we have much in common with the big state universities that comprise the CIC.
We hope that you will be intrigued, engrossed, and enlightened. After all, the Diversity Almanac is a first that we hope to expand in coming years. Consequently, we hope that you will send us your feedback.

Tour Promises
BoobsByNature.com promises 100% big, natural tits, ethnic babes, WMV HD videos, exclusive and high-definition movies.
My Opinion About BoobsByNature
There are plenty of big tit sites around, but when you're looking for Ebony and other exotic hotties with hooters, they can be a little more difficult to find. Fortunately, Boobs By Nature is around to deliver boob lovers steamily sexy ethnic babes bouncing and jiggling their jugs in HD videos.
BoobsByNature stars girls with all-naturals and this should drive a few potentials wild with lust. When you first login, you'll find one featured models and a list of recent updates, but there is a babe directory so that you can quickly browse the girls and figure out which one has the largest tits and which ones turn you on the most. The problem is that the site, while claiming to have ethnic diversity, mainly concentrates on ebony models. Now, there isn't anything wrong with this, but it's just sort of misleading for the site to claim multiple ethnicities.
I didn't recognize a lot of the girls or names, but they all have gorgeous, full tits and booties to match. There are 59 sets of photos at the moment and there are also movies, but only about 15 of them, which is a mighty small amount. The content dates do indicate two to four updates a month, but the sad truth is that the site has actually been around for a lot longer than the content dates seem to indicate and at one time, the site even had more videos. I wouldn't bank on consistency with this site, but at least you do get a handful of hot babes to get off on. Also, there are two bonus sites, BustyFatBabes and BigBootyShakers, that should keep you occupied by sexy ebony babes in action.
Sets of photos appear to average about 115 pictures. There is a viewer so that you can browse the1280x960 images online and there are also .zip files for all of the sets. The pictures are slightly on the amateur side if you ask me and they aren't nearly as well lit of sharp as I would have expected, but they do show the girls and their boobs and every other sexy thing about their bodies.
Movies are roughly 20 minutes apiece, and they're available in low and high-quality WMV clips that are two minutes long, and in full-length. The 2150Mbps1280x720 do take a while to download, but they're worth it. As promised, the flicks are HD and it shows. The movies focus on the ladies, but it isn't a silent experience since the cameraman often starts by chatting with them and then starts directing them. I'm not really sure that I find the direction sexy. I much prefer the girls to do what they want and to turn me on the way that they might turn a guy on in real life doing a striptease and masturbation scene. Still, there is a good amount of boob and booty focus and of course, as the chicks use various dildos and vibrators, there is a turn on factor.
Final Verdict
Boobs By Nature seems like a fantastic site from the tour pages and there are certainly some hotties and some great solo model moments inside. However, there wasn't as much thrill as I would have hoped for inside the members' area and this has a lot to so with a very small amount of content and my uncertainty about the update schedule. The two bonus sites also feature some ebony hotties and taken together as a package, the three sites offer a decent range of action and amount of content.

When we found out that our good friend Ryan was going to be a dad, Jeff and I were thrilled for him. He is a great guy with big heart and the patience of a saint- he also happens to be one of Cole's favorite people in the whole world. 🙂 We instantly knew that he was going to be a great dad- and we weren't wrong.
I was so excited and honored when Ryan and Kendra asked me to take Brycen's pictures. 🙂 Unfortunately, Brycen wasn't really interested in being a model for us, but we did manage to steal some precious pictures of this handsome little guy.
Ryan & Kendra, I hope you love your pictures and I can't wait to see all of you again!! 🙂
