As rules officials weighed in this week at conference media days over whether Jadeveon Clowney's famed tackle and forced fumble on Michigan running back Vincent Smith would be illegal under new targeting rules this season, Steve Spurrier defended the play that won an ESPY award.
"I don't think he targeted his head. He hit him right about here (pointing to his chest) as the handoff was occurring," he said Thursday at his media golf outing.
Spurrier is somewhat concerned about officials making instantaneous decisions about penalizing or possibly ejecting a player before they're certain of what they saw.
"The only thing I don't like about a lot of rules is they're all judgment calls by the referee," he said, referencing the celebration penalty and the new targeting penalty.
He agrees with the intent of the targeting rule, however, as it relates to player safety.
"The rule is good if they're talking about a guy spearing or using the crown of his helmet to hit another above the shoulder pads in the head. If he's doing that on purpose, he deserves to get thrown out of the game," Spurrier said.
During the ACC media days, officiating coordinator Doug Rhoads stated he viewed Clowney's hit as one that would lead to an ejection this season. But Spurrier didn't seem particularly concerned that the ACC would provide the officials for the games against North Carolina and Clemson this season.
"To tell you the truth, I've always liked those ACC guys. They've sometimes been a little kinder to us than the SEC guys," Spurrier said. "So it would be strange if we got a bunch of bad calls. I like the ACC head official, Doug Rhoads, I like him. So I'm not going to worry about that."
Moving parts
... Brison Williams is expected to move to free safety from strong safety. Kadetrix Marcus and T.J. Gurley would move to strong safety.
... Landon Ard and Tyler Hull are the front-runners to placekick and punt, respectively, although the competition is wide open at long snapper.
... Tailbacks Mike Davis and Brandon Wilds will battle on equal terms until one emerges as more effective.
Nine lives
Spurrier begins his ninth season at USC with the team's first practice Aug. 2 at 7:15 p.m. It is open to the public.
After consecutive school-record 11-win seasons, he's cruising along in his job and foresees himself staying at the helm for a while longer.
He credits his staff for helping him build the program and easing the burdens of his position.
"Because I've got such a good assistant coaching staff, it's really not a stressful job for me as a head coach," he said. "These guys all can coach, they can recruit, they get guys committed, they get along well with each other, and they've got wonderful wives who all get along. So our job is fun."
Digging at Dabo
Spurrier couldn't resist mentioning Clemson coach Dabo Swinney once again. The two have traded a few jabs over the years, with USC's four straight wins over the Tigers giving it the recent upper hand in the rivalry.
As Spurrier spoke of the desire of his players to win the program's first SEC championship, he took a slight detour.
"Can we win an SEC championship? That'll be the big question. It won't be easy. We won't be favored. Nobody's picking us. But we do have a chance. We know we're capable," he said.
"We don't quite talk about it as much as Dabo does. He's already got national champions on board. We don't talk about it quite like that. I'm not saying that's wrong. We're talking about SEC, and if we lose four or five games, then we look like a fool talking about trying to win the SEC. If you can win the SEC, you've got a super chance of winning the national (title)."
Leading the way
Spurrier isn't certain which players will step up as leaders this season – noting that he has a number of quiet guys – but he knows some will emerge.
"I don't know who's going to be the leader-type. It sort of naturally happens, usually with the older players," he said. "It has to be a good player. It almost has to be a starter. It's hard for a backup guy to tell everybody, 'Let's go get 'em.' (Senior defensive end) Chaz Sutton is certainly a player they all look up to."
Who's got the ball?
Spurrier joked about trying to come up with a new trick play this season. He talked about putting quarterbacks Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson both behind center.
"Have you ever seen a play when two quarterbacks are in the shotgun, but you don't know which one they're going to snap it to?" he asked. "That might be something to try this year."
No sweat
Spurrier laughed when asked about any worries he might have had over the off-season. To show his lack of concern during the days of summer, he answered with a question of his own: "When I was in Ireland playing golf or when I was in the Bahamas?"

Secret Garden Restaurant
My friend Eric introduced me to this restaurant, which is a bit down the northern slope of Yangming Mountain (Taipei, Taiwan). The food is pretty standard Taiwanese cafe grub: dried out club sandwiches, Caesar salad with sweet Ranch-like dressing and Parmesan powder, NT$200 teacups of Blue Mountain, etc. But with its cool Mediterranean colors and lush garden, it's one of the most beautiful restaurants I've seen here.
This was the view from the front gate of Secret Garden Restaurant. There were I think three of the "satellite" dishes.

Transformations by the Gulf, Florida Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center:
A Center for Rehabilitation of Alcohol & Drug Addiction, St. Pete Beach, Florida
Your Recovery Starts Here! Transformations By The Gulf is a substance abuse, alcohol rehabilitation, and wellness center located in the beautiful city of St. Pete Beach, Florida. This Florida drug rehab center is truly a unique, healing setting where we work with people who are struggling with addiction and alcohol issues. At Transformations By The Gulf, we are aware that everyone's experience with addiction is a unique one, and our program is designed around gender-specific, psychological, biological, social and familial needs. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to drug addiction treatments. Recovery help at Transformations by the Gulf's Substance Abuse and Wellness Center can be the beginning of a beautifully productive, exciting sober life!
Recovery is not just about treating symptoms, but treating the whole person.
Addiction is a complex disease and each individual has unique treatment needs. We offer Residential/Inpatient and structured outpatient programs. We emphasize self-respect, compassion, spirituality, self-accountability, pointed lifestyle changes and, of course, honesty, transparency, open-mindedness, and willingness.
Our holistic program revolves around an individual's mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and interpersonal growth. We utilize evidence-based and adjunct therapies to reinforce positive well-being and emotional health. These therapies include nutrition counseling, acupuncture, yoga, personal fitness training, light and sound neurotherapy, and tai chi.
Holistic, Gender-Specific Florida Drug Rehabilitation Programs Near St. Pete Beach
Our programs and facilities were designed and are managed by healthcare professionals. Our Florida drug rehabilitation and alcohol recovery centers in the Tampa Bay Area recognize that women's and men's experiences with addiction, recovery, and life after treatment may vary in many ways. Because of this, we've carefully constructed rehab programs which focus on gender-specific solutions. And guess what. Recovery can be beautiful.
Why Gender Specific Rehab?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Addiction (NIDA) men and women with substance abuse addiction problems require different treatment and prevention approaches. Transformation By The Gulf provides gender specific treatment programs because, in this setting, we find our clients have more success and less distractions than they would in a co-ed setting.
Because people have unique biological, psychological, social, and familial needs that can be better addressed in a men's only, women's only or expectant mothers' pregnancy drug rehab setting. Individuals are normally more open to sharing and talking about difficult issues in a gender-specific setting rather than a co-ed one. Our goal is to ensure the men and women in our program feel safe and comfortable talking about addiction issues, self-esteem, sexuality, family situations, and anger issues and building bonds of support and accountability with other people in treatment. We provide a safe comfortable atmosphere, where staff have a positive and hopeful attitude toward everyone and show investment in learning about all types of experiences and treatment requirements, so we can best develop personalized interventions.
Transformations by the Gulf's Florida Substance abuse and Wellness Center offers 30, 60 and 90 day programs where people can build an superb foundation which will help them overcome the urge to relapse when they leave treatment. Those who complete our Day Treatment program also have the option to continue in our Intensive Outpatient Program.

The Illinois Department of Labor estimates that workers reported roughly 10,000 wage theft incidents last year alone. A worker-friendly bill introduced in the General Assembly this year would make it a whole lot easier for state officials to enforce existing labor laws.
In recent years, numerous Illinois companies have made underhanded attempts to stiff their workers on pay or benefits. The most high-profile example unfolded at the now-defunct Republic Windows and Doors plant in December 2008, where 250 laid-off employees engaged in a successful fight to recoup the money owed to them. Yet with thousands of workers impacted by wage theft statewide, that outcome is all too rare.
By the Illinois Department of Labor's count, workers reported roughly 10,000 wage theft incidents last year alone. The department itself initially reviewed those claims, before passing them along to the attorney general's office for enforcement. The problem is that the bulk of these cases involved less than $3,000 in back pay and, as a result, they generally fall fairly low on the AG's priority list. As Chris Williams with the Working Hands Legal Clinic points out, "[I]t doesn't make sense to spend so much money" when pursuing the cases is far more costly than the potential payout.
But a worker-friendly bill introduced in the General Assembly this session could make the process a whole lot more efficient and affordable. Under State Sen. William Delgado's (D-Chicago) legislation (SB 3568), the Illinois Labor Department would assume additional power to itself take action on these wage theft claims. Essentially, his bill would grant the department authority to both investigate and issue an enforceable judgment on claims lower than $3,000 per employee, which is required to begin recouping the back pay.
Curtis Black at News Tips sums up how the process would work:
The bill would amend the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act to establish an administrative hearing procedure under the Illinois Department of Labor for wage theft claims below $3,000, and would allow employees to recover legal costs if they file successfully for unpaid wages in civil court.
Last week, the measure passed out of committee and could be up for a floor vote as early as today. State Rep. Lisa Hernandez (D-Cicero) has agreed to take the lead on a companion bill in the House. She tells us that there's plenty of reason to be optimistic that the bill will make it to the governor's desk. For starters, it has garnered broad support from within the business community, particularly because companies in good standing know that they simply can't compete with unscrupulous firms that routinely engage in wage theft. Moreover, violators often skip payroll tax payments when they stiff employees of earned income, putting law-abiding businesses at an even greater competitive disadvantage.
Under the bill, the state would drop the hammer on violators. In addition to having to pay workers a penalty of 2 percent per month on outstanding back wages, companies would be subject to a state fine equaling 20 percent of the back pay. Instead of dumping those fees into the general fund (which is currently the case), the revenue would be earmarked for a newly established Wage Theft Enforcement Fund, which would be tapped to cover the cost of hiring hearing officers to handle the increased caseload. As currently drafted, repeat offenders that owe less than $500 in back wages could also face a misdemeanor charge. Those owing upwards of $500 would face a class 4 felony, which means employers could face multiple years in prisons and fines up to $50,000.
Williams points out that the bill isn't quite a done deal. One sticking point pertains to those criminal penalties and he predicts the monetary threshold may be bumped up. Also, there's an effort under way to amend the bill to reclassify outstanding wages as "secured debt" in bankruptcy cases. That would put workers on par with creditors and lenders who currently receive priority when remaining assets are divvied up.
We'll be following the legislation closely. Stay tuned.

Weight loss consistently ranks as one of the top resolutions for many people hoping to turn a new leaf and improve their self-image. However, many of us resolving to shed the extra pounds by dieting end up unsuccessful — sometimes in a matter of a few weeks — and fall back to our old habits.
We are exposed to messages and images in the media that idealize being very thin, which can lead to unrealistic perceptions and expectations about body image — blurring the line between being simply skinny and being truly healthy.
It's important to understand why weight loss resolutions can often be misguided. Shifting focus to overall health — not necessarily on losing weight — is a more attainable and approachable goal.
"Focusing on losing a certain number of pounds or reaching a certain weight fuels the yo-yo dieting cycle and can harm your mental and physical health," says Ursula Ridens, RD, an outpatient dietitian with Sharp HealthCare.
Dieting implies restriction and deprivation, with pitfalls such as increased hunger, cravings and a sense of loss. The term "diet" often implies that there is a start and an end.
Shift the focus
A "non-diet" approach can help you adopt lifestyle changes that lead to long-term health improvements. According to Ridens, these three tips can help you establish a more realistic approach to making positive changes to your health:
Focus on specific things you can do to generate healthy outcomes.
- Don't get caught up in the amount of weight you need to lose. Instead commit to gaining positive, healthier habits.
- Add weight-resistance activities to your exercise routine to build muscle strength and increase bone health.
- Increase cardiovascular activities to build endurance and lung capacity.
- Eat 5 to 9 servings of fruits and veggies everyday to lower blood pressure. Eat fish at least twice a week to improve your cholesterol profile.
Focus on what you can increase rather than what you should decrease.
- Spending a lot of time thinking about what you should decrease in your diet, like fat and sugar, can make you feel deprived and frustrated, making it hard to actually make the diet change.
- Drink more water, eat plenty of fruits and veggies, and choose whole grains while slowing your pace of eating, which will empower you rather than lead you to dieting depression.
Focus on appreciating your body — no matter your weight.
- Build your self-esteem by recognizing all the amazing things your body does for you: providing protection for your internal organs, supporting and carrying your body all day long, and hugging a loved one. When you appreciate your body, you're more likely to take good care of it.
"Now is the time to shift our focus to health, rather than weight, by changing diet-mentality into health-mentality," says Ridens. "We are all wonderfully unique and our bodies are not meant to look just one way or weigh just one number.
"Healthy in any shape or size is beautiful."

- 2014 - 2016: Please just hurry up and do something!
- 2012 - 2013: The Marlins have a new stadium!!
- 2010 - 2011: St. Pete losing leverage in negotiations
The Tampa Bay Rays open their 20th season Sunday in sold-out Tropicana Field with new turf, new concessions (a $13 grilled cheese burger!?), new players — and a familiar discussion about prospects for a new stadium. By Opening Day in 2018, there should be a site selected for the next Rays ballpark and a general agreement on how to pay for it. The continuing uncertainty is unhealthy for the Rays and for a region that is enjoying a growth spurt but cannot afford to lose major-league baseball.Of course, it isn't finding a site that's the biggest challenge; it's the financing and lack of appetite for public subsidies.
That's unlikely to change in the next 12 months. But at least the Times isn't contributing as much to MLB's fearmongering as it used to back earlier in the decade.
Although, it's good to see they're not afraid to recycle a lede:
The sellout crowd at the Tampa Bay Rays' 14th season opener tonight at Tropicana Field will find new food choices, a new playing surface and plenty of new players. What the franchise needs to ensure its long-term future in the region is a serious conversation about a new stadium.

Missouri lawmakers fail to restore cuts to care for disabled
By SUMMER BALLENTINE and DAVID A. LIEB
Sep. 13, 2017
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Several thousand disabled and elderly Missouri residents will remain without personal care services after lawmakers on Wednesday refused to override a gubernatorial veto but instead pledged to keep working on a way to reverse the budget cuts.
Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard and House Speaker Todd Richardson said they have asked colleagues to try to develop a plan in the next three weeks to undo the cuts to in-home and nursing care for about 8,300 people.
Their announcement came minutes before an effort by House Democrats to override Republican Gov. Eric Greitens' veto of one potential solution failed on a largely partisan 49-106 vote.
"It's our job even in tough budget years to protect our most vulnerable citizens," Richard said in a statement. "Preserving funding for in-home and nursing care is important to both chambers, and together with the House, we can come up with a plan to keep those funds for senior services intact."
Richard said the hope is to come up with a plan by Oct. 6 and ask Greitens to call lawmakers back in for another session.
The programs fund part-time caretakers providing services such as bathing and grooming to low-income people enrolled in the Medicaid health care program. The budget that took effect July 1 cut funding, meaning people must have a greater level of disability to be eligible or may qualify for fewer hours of service.
Lawmakers in May passed a bill to restore funding by allowing the state's administration commissioner to take up to $35.4 million from unspent money in dedicated funds in order to maintain the current level of in-home and nursing services.
But Greitens in June vetoed the bill, which he called "an unconstitutional, one-time, fake fix to a real problem."
Since then, both Republicans and Democrats have been scrambling for a solution. While House Democrats led a push to override Greitens, Republican Lt. Gov. Mike Parson called on lawmakers to convene a special session to address the problem.
Wednesday's session focused on gubernatorial vetoes would have been a prime opportunity for another session. But legislative leaders couldn't pull together a plan that would muster support from the three-fourths of lawmakers needed to call a special session.
Democrats bemoaned the lack of an immediate solution for the cuts, which are being phased in now.
"The daily suffering caused to Missourians will hang on all of our heads," said Rep. Deb Lavender, a Democrat from suburban St. Louis.
One alternative is to fund the personal care services with money saved by reducing a tax credit for low-income seniors and disabled residents who live in rental housing — an option endorsed by House members during the regular session.
But House Minority Leader Gail McCann Beatty said Wednesday that reducing the so-called "circuit breaker" tax break is "a nonstarter" for House Democrats.

One useful byproduct of last year's acclaimed film The King's Speech, about how King George VI overcame his speech defect, was that it highlighted the issue of stammering. That is also the aim of tonight's poignant documentary about the work of The Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children in London.
The cameras follow three children as they undergo intensive speech therapy: Reggie, aged 11, who can't share his love of dinosaurs because of his impediment; Bethan, 14, whose stammering has grown progressively worse, and 11-year-old William, a perfectionist who can't forgive himself because of his impairment. Crucially, the treatment involves parents, because research shows that strong familial relationships help improve the condition.
The children's confidence grows with their progress, and their parents are heartened by a visit from Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, who's overcome his stutter to the extent that you wouldn't know he had had one. By echoing the sentiment of Colin Firth's most famous line from The King's Speech – "I have a voice!" – this film hopes to ensure stammerers are heard.
The Kid's Speech is on BBC One on Tuesday 18 October at 10.35pm (Northern Ireland/Scotland/Wales, 11.05pm)

Hoteliers claim they're being 'blackmailed' by Tripadvisor reviewers
Hoteliers are being 'blackmailed' by hotel guests who use the threat of writing a bad review on Tripadvisor to get refunds and upgrades, according to a new report.
The Times newspaper says it has seen complaints from more than 80 hotel and B&B owners claiming that guests have been unjustifiably using the travel site as a 'weapon' against them.
Examples include one hotelier who said a room had been damaged by a guest. When confronted, the guest threatened to write a bad review on the travel site.
Another hotel owner said a guest asked for almost £1,000 in compensation after suffering food poisoning. When the hotel refused to pay (pointing out that no other guest had been taken ill), the customer posted a negative review.
A spokesperson for Tripadvisor said: "We take allegations of blackmail or threatening behaviour by guests against property owners very seriously. Not only is it strictly against our guidelines, but it may also be illegal."
Tripadvisor recently launched a new customer support phone line for hotels to report reviews that it believes are untruthful.

I spent half a day in Ely and joined Cambridge Bird Club's evening walk.
While sketching this I saw something moving in a Blackberry bush. At first I thought it was a Blackbird eating berries but It was round, had hair and long thin tail. Checking the Internet, I think, it was a Water Vole!

During summer there are several evening walks starting from six or seven on weekday. I found it so nice that people who is working can join them and it is still bright for several hours! It won't happen in Japan, will it?

Hello Ting,ReplyDelete
I can see you are doing an experiences. Time for the different styles. My brother just sent me one of his Estonian friends` website. She is in Canada at the moment. Her website is www.helispodnek.com and she has done since childhood drawings about the horses and also as much as I know she even own one horse. Just have a look at it and maybe you will get an inspiration. I couldn´t look at it as much as I wanted and I will try also to have a check it later.

Google's Field Trip app, launched in the US in September, has been updated and is now available in the UK.
The app now features local UK content from Google's partners including Historvius, Dezeen, TimeOut magazine, Historic UK, Run-Riot, London on the Inside and many more, says the search engine.
For readers not entirely aware of what Field Trip is, the app is designed to pull together a range of sources to create the ultimate guide book.
READ: Google Field Trip app pictures and hands-on
"Field Trip runs in the background on your phone. When you get close to something interesting, it pops up a card with details about the location. No click is required. If you have a headset or Bluetooth connected, it can even read the info to you," explains Google on the Google Play page for Field Trip.
The app is optimised for smartphones, not tablets, warns Google, but it will work on devices such as the Nexus 7.

I've spent a good amount of time over the last month cleaning up my various contacts lists. I use several different programs to track contacts (not intentionally) and wanted to centralize down to a single system of record. Almost a decade after I started tracking contacts electronically I found that I had many disparate lists spread over Plaxo, LinkedIn, Outlook, GMail, and on two phones. It was time to bite the bullet and reconcile them to a single list.
After some fairly comprehensive research and a good amount of thinking I decided that GMail was to be the central system of record. I like the contact manager that it offers, find the interface to be simple and intuitive and like that it will automatically sync with my phone (I have the G1 from T-Mobile although I'm thinking of switching to Verizon for the Droid X or the Incredible). I've made a somewhat conscious effort to move much of my organizational data over to Google over the last few years and this felt like a logical and consistent move within that strategy.
All told it took about ten hours to get all of the lists synchronized, check all of the data for consistency, and update metadata such as photographs, employers, titles, and the all important notes. I don't remember everything about many of the business contacts that I meet, however I am fairly conscientious about taking down notes for reference later.
I'm hoping that this effort will carry me through for another couple of years. I'll try to keep on top of the management tasks between now and then but to be honest it's just not something that I see happening. It's likely that I'll use the momentum of this cleanup to propel me until the next time I need to get the records straightened out again. For now it is really nice to not have to scour five different places when looking for a phone number I just know I have.

Despite the well-documented benefits of physical activity, including reduced risk of chronic disease, healthier weight, reduced stress, and higher energy levels, it can be difficult to convince people to add more physical activity to their lives. The recommended 150 minutes per week can seem daunting, especially to those who have been sedentary for most of their lives. Physical activity doesn't have to be intimidating, though. With the Active Living Every Day program, you'll have all the tools you need to empower people to make the small changes that can positively affect their health.
Based on the latest research, Active Living Every Day (ALED) is a step-by-step behavior change program that helps individuals overcome their barriers to physical activity. ALED offers alternatives to more traditional, structured exercise programs. Participants choose their own activities and create their own plans based on their lifestyle and personal preferences, focusing on moderate-intensity activities that can be easily added to their daily routines. The course text and online tools offer structure and support as participants explore their options and begin to realize how enjoyable physical activity can be. As participants work through the course, they learn lifestyle management skills and build on small successes, methods that have proven effective in producing lasting change.
The new Active Living Every Day text has been updated to reflect the latest research on physical activity and behavior change. We've also made several changes to the program based on feedback from participants and providers, which will make ALED more attractive to a wider variety of people:
In addition to the many benefits for course participants, ALED offers program providers these benefits:

Which college degrees give you the best chances of entering a successful career path after graduation? Concentrating on Cincinnati Christian University bachelor program, for example, may give you additional focus in the admissions selection process. Check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, course registration deadlines, and associates degree program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Cincinnati Christian University.
Research demonstrates that associates degree students go on to complete bachelor degrees at a much higher rate than those students who transfer with only a few credits. When starting your associates degree, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will be transferable to colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you can take the required classes needed for your degree in a community college, saving both time and up-front investment.
Look at four-year schools in your state first, to decide if any would be a good fit for you, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. This will outline what classes you need to take to qualify, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain to avoid losing hard-earned credits when you actually transfer. The following state websites provide information about the transfer process within their state. While most states are generally similar, please ask your community college advisor about the specific guidelines for your state. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Northeastern State oral exams for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

It's Never Just "I Beseech YOU"
Online Since December 1996 or January 1997. Remastered and
reposted April 10, 2006.
In the nineties, Chris was doing various collectible card game art assignments, and so was into watercolors.
Watercolors are famously the most difficult of paints to master, and so he didn't even really try. All he knows is,
it makes the lovely fires look so very pretty.
Longtime visitors to the site may have noticed text in the images as they load. With high speed access more common,
some of you may never have seen the stuff we hid there with the IMG alt= tag. The text behind this page read:
"SUDDENLY-- Everything went pitch black aboard the Dark Treacle except for a piece of flourescent
abstract art Ogrek had acquired during a cruise off Bikini Atoll."
With the reposting of this page, the existence of the Synopsis page also comes to end. In case you come to miss it
for some reason, its text is archived below:
The story so far...
Returning to Wyhtl from the planet Hard Fun©, Yamara, the unwilling halfling wife of Ogrek the
Undisciplined has startled herself by completing her training as a master thief under the tutelage of the
vampire Persephone, while aboard Ogrek's curiously familiar spaceboat, The Dark Treacle. Yamara's
motivation has been to escape her matrimonial misstep with Mr. Undisciplined, and go off and do something, indeed
anything, else.
Persey, having won the heart of the good human cleric, Joe Holy, and knowing that she has only a little
time to squeak under the resurrection deadline before she's stuck vampiric and bald forever, decides to join Joe
in his world by making a fresh start-- a secret pact with the dark dark elf goddess Denise so that one of
Denise's Evil High Priestesses will bring her back from undeadness.
Stress, another, prenumerate wife of Ogrek's and the only dark elf Evil High Priestess on board, has
performed the raising, but is now without general magic oomph for about a month. (It's an old rule.) Her life
goal is Ogrek's death, which by now she is used to him miraculously avoiding.
Caught up in this savannah of intrigue is none other than Ralph the Toad, former familiar to the elven
game show hostess Fea, and bosun aboard the Treacle. He feeds Persey cream of mushroom soup as her
first living meal in 500 years, the consequences of which will Change the World.
But in the meantime, Stress has left Yocchi in charge of the World, and the dark elves back on Wyhtl.
Yocchi is an extremely affable monster, the last of her kind, indestructible/regenerating/one-of-those clones,
called the D.E.L.V.E.* Despite everyone hating her for her intrusively cheerful attitude, she has followed
her programming and led her people to conquer all Wythl, albeit with the intent to impose democracy.
Yocchi blames Persey for her mother's demise (on p. 44 of the Yamara book, on sale now, see
THE GOODS for ordering details) and has
offered such a price on Persey's head, that some optimistic dark elf observers have opined the awakening of a
genuine mean streak in the happy clone.
We enter the scene as Persey and Joe's shipboard ceremony is interrupted by an attack by the dark elf space
fleet, the resulting explosions sending Persey's undead wedding guests flying for the escape sarcophagi, and
leaving Stress without any lower outer garments.
Finally, as the mighty fleet edges closer, Ralph, the prophesied warrior valiant, revs up Ogrek's light
sportjammer, The Zaff Dingbat, and prepares himself to get the hell out of there.

(Still) The Essential Guide to Same-Sex Weddings
In 1995, my partner and I had begun to talk more seriously about having a commitment ceremony. We didn't yet know what that would look like or how we would ever pull it off, but we had begun to embrace the idea that we would exchange vows in front of our friends & family. And, in those days, a decision like this wasn't as commonplace or widely embraced as it is today. We certainly had the support of our friends and most of our family members, but we had no idea where to begin.
For starters, the Internet was in its infancy. Google had not yet been launched (it was "brought to life" in 1998), and our most senior online wedding planning resources, like theknot.com and weddingchannel.com, hadn't launched. So we couldn't exactly hop onto the web to find the wedding planning information (albeit straight-biased) that we needed. Further, though you could find wedding planning magazines and books in bookstores, you certainly couldn't find much tailored to planning advice for gay or lesbian commitment ceremonies (the common term for our wedding celebrations back then).
Where Do We Begin?
In those days, when I needed my lesbian literature fix or a queer-themed resource, I always headed over to Washington DC's Lammas (a bookstore for women, open from 1974-2000) or Lambda Rising (a gay bookstore, open from 1975-2010) in hopes I could find something there. And that's exactly where I started my search to answer the question: "Where do we begin?"
From the looks of the inscription inside the cover of our first edition of The Essential Guide to Lesbian and Gay Weddings, I found what I was looking for in December of '95. I remember finding it on a crisp, winter day at Lambda Rising, and I remember my delight and feeling of incredible good fortune as I crouched in the aisle flipping through the book.
This was it! This was what we needed to get started on our lesbian wedding planning journey.
The Essential Guide — Still Essential
Then, as now, The Essential Guide offers a comprehensive look at all of the critical details required in planning a same-sex wedding, and authors Tess Ayers and Paul Brown open with the question opposite-sex couples so rarely ask themselves: "Why Bother?"
The "Why Bother?" chapter subheading in the updated edition says everything you need to know about how the commitment context and the content in The Essential Guide have changed in the past 18 years. In 1994, engaged couples were asked to consider the question: "Why Bother (If it's Not Legal)?" But with this year's, third edition release, engaged couples must ask themselves: "Why Bother (Especially Where It's Not Legal)?"
Oh, the times, they are a-changin'!
Though Tess and Paul, our pioneering scribes, are able to explore the heavier questions about the legal implications of same-sex marriage and the importance of creating a celebration for a Union to last a lifetime, they are equally effective when digging into topics like the minutiae of invitation wording, choosing a band and changing your name — all with humor and a well-organized approach.
And, let's be honest, a good sense of humor and strong organizational skills are prerequisites for any couple embarking on its wedding planning journey!
Not surprisingly, The Essential Guide has always been a popular product in our boutique and I was thrilled to hear that the book had been slated for an updated release. Though same-sex couples now have many great resources to choose from when it comes to finding planning advice and inspiration — both in print and online — there is something to be said about the one which, at its core, has always been there for us.
Meet Tess & Paul
But don't take my word for it. Listen in on my chat with Tess Ayers and Paul Brown and decide for yourself:
The gay wedding landscape has changed dramatically since you published the first edition of The Essential Guide for Lesbian & Gay Weddings in 1994 – the very first wedding planning guide of its kind, I might add! Are you surprised that gay marriage is now legal is so many states (and the District of Columbia)?
Paul: Honestly? I never thought I would see such an unfazed attitude towards gay folk. I grew up believing that gay culture had its own sense of humor and particular style. It amazes me that our style and humor have become so mainstream, like John Waters of Pink Flamingos fame directing Hollywood movies or the popularity of Will & Grace. So as gays and lesbians became perceived as less different our social norms changed. We became more socially mature and to many that means stability, commitment and marriage.
Tess: When I had my totally non-legal wedding ceremony in 1992, I never envisioned same-sex marriage equality happening in my lifetime. People were really curious about same-sex weddings because they were so rare. But here we are, in the middle of a national conversation about it. My 17-year-old son watched his two mothers legally marry two years ago–amazing!
Given the wider acceptance of same-sex marriage, civil unions, and commitment ceremonies today, how has the advice you offer changed in this most recent edition?
Paul: Earlier on there were more issues around dealing with homophobia as you chose a chapel or went to buy rings with your partner. We still look at all the coming-out issues, but this time we made an extra effort to give the reader the hard facts on how to spend wisely. Many same-sex couples want a wedding but don't feel that they can throw down big bucks right now. Often they have been together for a long time or, sadly, there isn't the expected family support that came when their sister Sue married Scott, so there is a lot about being a creative consumer.
Tess: When we originally wrote this, there was no Internet, so if you lived in a small town somewhere and wanted a two-groom wedding cake topper, you needed us to give you an actual "mail-order" source! Thankfully times have changed and so have attitudes, and we're able to concentrate more on the quality of the toppers or the uniqueness of certain vendors.
What inspired you two to work together and write the Essential Guide in the first place?
Paul: I had just moved to California with my partner Rick and met Tess and Jane and knew they were going to get married. I really thought, "how LA." The event was a life-changer for many of the guests: the honesty, the love, the passion, really the almost childlike sincerity of the ceremony, and well, the party was a blast. Tess and I were explaining the event to Charlotte Sheedy, a mutual friend, who happened to be a book agent. And so it began.
How would you compare the response you received to the announcement of your book release in the late nineties to the response you are receiving today?
Paul: My friends thought it would be a great satire, like the Preppy Handbook. It wasn't easy to find couples to interview who had gone through it, and most of the interviews with caterers, photographers and bands were more about how they would feel if a same-sex couple wanted them to do their wedding. Look, the whole world wasn't online. I sent out about a hundred letters to gay and lesbian centers around the country looking for people to talk with. Letters. With stamps!
Tess: We knew that the book would be carried by gay bookstores like A Different Light, and that people could order it through the mail, but we were just kind of hoping that mainstream bookstores would carry it. Most of them did end up stocking it, and mostly it was in the "Gay Studies" section or "Alternative Lifestyles" (ugh!)…but now it's filed right there alongside Martha Stewart's wedding books.
What makes the Essential Guide different from the new books that couples can find on the shelves or the planning sites that couples can find online?
Paul: It takes a lot of information and makes it easy to understand. I mean both the mechanics, like figuring out how much ice you need per person, and the big questions like, "Have you considered seeing some sort of therapist or counselor before you do this?"
Tess: When we started writing it, we were only planning on dealing with the parts of a wedding that had to do with being a same-sex couple. But the more we researched, the more we realized that it should cover everything that a traditional wedding planner does, because why should you have to buy two different books? So we steeped ourselves in weddings, and in gay and lesbian variations, and The Essential Guide is, we feel, still the most thorough reference on the market. Plus, it's really entertaining–along with great information, we help you keep everything in perspective.
What do you think are the three most important things a gay or lesbian couple needs to keep in mind when beginning the planning process?
- Remember, you're a grown-up. Don't do this on a whim.
- Work on having your wedding, not your sister's, not some designer's from Home Decorating TV, and above all not your mother's. Unless of course you want that, and some people do.
- Write it down and be organized, or find someone who is organized to help you keep the details and expenses together.
Tess: All of those, plus: whether or not it's legal where you live, treat it as though it were.
Are you currently working in the wedding industry or doing any wedding planning?
Tess: We get called on by friends to advise or help out, but we both have so many other responsibilities in our lives that wedding planning is just not on the agenda.
Are you married?
Paul: I had been partnered for 18 years but we never officially had a wedding.
Tess: Jane and I have been together for almost 30 years. As Paul said, we had a non-legal wedding 20 years ago. Then two years ago, in that small window of time when same-sex marriage was legal in California, we got legally hitched. It was, if possible, even more powerful than the first ceremony.
When it comes to same-sex marriage, what inspires you?
Paul: When you meet a couple who have been together for a long time and are holding each others' hands and looking at pictures of their kids, their first home, and of course their wedding, and they say things about each other like, "We had a wonderful 50 years together" or "This person is my whole life." The elderly couple sitting on a porch in matching rocking chairs, that's what does it for me.
Tess: What inspires me is how far we've come in so short a time. We're not quite there yet, but I really believe that soon we'll be explaining to a younger generation about the time when two women couldn't get married, and they'll be looking at us like we're nuts. Just as it should be.

Young people are at the forefront of action/2015, leading the call for change. Young people will be amongst those most affected by the decisions made in 2015 – it's their futures at stake. After 2015 they'll play an important role in holding world leaders to account for their promises.
action/2015 is bringing together young people around the globe to ensure their voices are heard in 2015.
15 in 2015
As part of the action/2015 youth activism, action/2015 is helping to tell the stories of young campaigners who will be 15 in 2015. These young campaigners were born in 2000, the same year the Millennium Development Goals were set. During their lifetime, the rate of extreme poverty has been cut in half.
This year, as they turn 15, our leaders will agree a new plan for a better world. If these plans are as ambitious , as we know they can be there could be almost no extremely poor people –anywhere – by the time they are 30. They are testament to the fact that change is possible.
Youth Action
Across the world, beginning with launch, young people will be meeting with their leaders to hand over their demands and urge leaders to raise their ambition in 2015.
Here are some of the amazing young campaigners who are taking part in action/2015. We hope you will be inspired by their commitment and determination to achieve change. We certainly are!
Maryam, a Nigerian child rights activist, will turn 15 this year. She is a member of the Abuja Children's parliament. Maryam produces songs, organizes events and speaks at forums as the voice of children on health, education and gender issues. Her song "I believe" was released last year to mark International day of the girl child.
As a My World youth advocate, Maryam contributed to the collection of over 500 voices of children expressing their views on the future they want to see post 2015.
She said: "By 2030 I will be an adult, and may have children of my own. My generation might not be the ones making decisions today, but we will be the ones to make sure that our leaders take full responsibility for the actions they take this year. I and thousands like me are demanding they make the right choices, because our future is at stake. We ask that they make choices which are dictated by the needs of future generations and not choices that are dictated by short-term politics."
Eva is 14 and lives in Malinzanga, Tanzania. She lives with her parents and her five brothers and sisters. She was born in 2000, the same year the Millennium Development Goals were set.
"My hope for 2015 is to start secondary school, so I can one day get my dream job as a policewoman and take care of my community. It's harder for girls to stay in school here, but I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen.
"This year, as I turn 15, our leaders will agree a new plan for a better world. If they make it really good, and then actually stick to it, there could be almost no extremely poor people – anywhere – by the time I am 30. How cool would that be?
"This is what I wanted to ask you about. Will you help make sure the new development plan is really great, and leaves no-one out?"
Faced with extreme poverty, Anoyara was given away to a local tout by her mother, in exchange for some money and assurance of monthly remittance out of Anoyara's income. She was then trafficked to Delhi as a domestic worker.
Anoyara's experience, instead of scarring her, has made her a vocal campaigner against human trafficking. Her trauma has inspired her to devote her life to protecting those who were the most susceptible to being trafficked – young girls.
She joined the movement against trafficking initiated by girls like her, with the support of a local NGO. She has helped gather information about trafficked children, trace traffickers and mobilise the support of the adults in order to reunite the children with their families. Her efforts and that of her group have resulted in hundreds of trafficked children from her village being returned to their families. She has also helped in preventing 35 cases of early marriage though verbal persuasion or through pressure on the local government.
Debora is an advocate for youth rights and is campaigning to reduce climate change impacts. She started campaigning in 2012 when supported young people from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to participate in the UN sustainable development conference, RIO+20.
She has spoken at many events including the World Conference on Youth, the Stocktaking Event for the Post-2015 agenda and COP20, always bringing the youth perspective to sustainable development discussions.
Amanda believes nobody should die from a preventable disease. That is why with her Global Health Club she helped raise $46,000 for Partners In Health this year in response to the Ebola crisis.
"As the world moves forward, I would like to see the number of preventable deaths go down dramatically and the world to change the way it approaches global aid, so that it fits the culture and environment of specific peoples."
Bhavi has been part of many fundraising efforts, including doing a sponsored 24hour football match with his friends. With his family raised £2500 for those affected by Boxing day tsunami and raised £3000 for the Tamils rehabilitation organisation which works in the area where he was once brought up which has been affected by war. Bhavi met with the UK Prime Minister David Cameron to share his message for 2015.
Bhavi said "My family is from Sri Lanka, one of the countries hit hardest by the Boxing Day tsunami, 10 years ago. In 2030 I may have children of my own. Whether in Sri-Lanka, the UK or elsewhere, I want them to live in a world where there are fewer extreme weather events. Poor people are hit hardest by climate change. So I want my children to live in a world where there is less poverty. I told the Prime Minister that 2015 is a chance to make that happen. My generation might not yet be the ones making the decisions but we can make David Cameron and other party leaders understand that the world is watching them."

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Jizz on my GF is a large collection on non-exclusive amateur content. Real girls sourced from a variety of unknown places in hot messy jizz action. Currently there are around 500 image galleries and about the same number of videos, with new content being added daily, basically. A membership here will set you back an alarming $39.95 per month, but at least you're also going to get access to about 15 other sites from The GF Network for that price, if that helps. Based on the variety and sub-par quality content however, I don't think quantity over quality is going to wine over in the end for this one; not at this price at least.
Decent Size Archive of Amateur Content.
Jizz on my GF is a nice-sized collection of messy amateur girlfriends faces, chests, backs and just about everywhere else you can think to jizz on. It's a bit of a mish mash, but the variety is part of the charm here, too. Updates are added daily with 2-10 minute video clips and small image gallery collections.
Network Access.
Your monthly membership here also gives access to the rest of The GF Network sites (currently at 15 or so) including sites like: My BBW GF, My POV GF, Boyfriend Nudes, Dirty Wives Exposed and other similarly themed amateur sites. All sites are easily accessible from the main member's area pages.
Other Good Stuff:
Content Quality is Not Great.
The pics and videos here don't offer much consistency in terms of quality, and in general, the quality here is not great. Video bitrates are far below average for paysites these days, offering washed out picture quality, overall poor lighting and fuzziness (we're talking 300k bitrate speeds slow!). Image sizing is rather small and they are extremely amateur in style.
Non-Exclusive Content.
It's hard to say where they get all this amateur content, but I can tell you that at least some of it is cross-posted to the member's areas of some of the other company sites. Whether or not you can find these image sets and videos elsewhere outside the company sites is questionable. But lack of model info, etc. would suggest you might.
Minor Negatives:
The price is high for what you get at this low quality amateur content site.
While I can appreciate the extremely amateur content being offered on Jizz on my GF along with the Network access, I can't imagine wanting to spend so much money per month for a mish-mash of low quality content. If the quality was better, then maybe my attitude would be different, but there are far too many original sites out there these days offering quality content and amateur submitted material you can find all over the internet and for a lot cheaper.

It was a hatching party, much like the one George and Elaine Green hosted at Turnberry Isle in North Miami Beach on March 18. And like several smaller affairs held in private homes these past weeks -- a cocktail party and buffet introducing Edward Villella, artistic director of the fledgling Miami City Ballet. This one was held at the Emerald Hills Country Club in Hollywood on March 23. It aimed, according to the company`s executive director, Eric Hart, at drumming up interest in Florida`s first professional ballet troupe.
Doesn`t look like the new company is going to have much trouble digging up support. Enthusiastic balletomanes turned out from Fort Lauderdale (Harvey and Judy Kass, Patti Bates, Ed Houston, Mimi and John Bauer, Barbara Campbell, etc.), Hollywood (Mark and Susan Forrest, Nancy and Norman Atkin, David and Arlene Goldberger, Ellie and Fred Horwin, Eileen Dworkin, etc.), Highland Beach (Jessie and Jack Meiners) and Miami (Millie Morano, Toby Lerner Ansin, etc.). Ansin, by the by, is not only a balletomane, she`s a frustrated ballerina. ``I did my first plie when I was 5,`` she says. ``I kept up with it until just five years ago. I wanted to be a star. I`ve never been able to do double pirouettes, though.``
The name, Miami City Ballet, came about because the company was started in Miami by Miami people. Not everyone feels the name is suitable. In addition to its Miami series, the company will present a full series in Broward this season (at Bailey Hall) starting in October. There will probably also be some presentations in Palm Beach County. And of course, the company plans to expand beyond the Dade-Broward-Palm Beach circuit to Tampa, Sarasota and ultimately beyond the state borders. Said Villella: ``We aim for a seven- or eight-state region within a few years. Within seven or eight years, we hope to have a national profile.`` We`re talking the big time here. Isn`t it exciting? Stay tuned for the next exciting developments.

Dear Melissa,
I am doing my best to use proper grammar here, as I know it drives you loony when I do not. I am even capitalizing letters that should be capital. I will only do this for you on your birthday.
I hope your 26th year is great. I hope you don't drop a bottle of wine in the grocery store in front of Dustin Hoffman this year. Actually, I kind of hope you do!
