I doubt there are any serious fans of internet porn that haven't heard Bang Bus, arguably the go-to site when it comes to a benchmark for judging reality porn. In fact, I'd wager a high percentage of guys in the 18-35 range have wacked their bag at least once whilst watching these naughty hitchhikers being ravaged. In edition to over a decade of classic porn that is, surprisingly, still regularly updated, your membership also affords a generous amount of bonus network access. Not to mention frequent updates, HD video, and the prestige of the brand.

For those of you who were wowed by over-the-top videos of sex in a moving vehicle over a decade ago, you might expect the site to have a dated, overly simplistic design. But seeing as how the site is part of the Bang Bros network and actually still updated, it's actually has a rather sleek, modern looking design albeit a tad cookie-cutter. Nevertheless, the page is well organized, and allows the user to organize content in a number of ways, including a list of over 30 niches. They covered all the basics, like interracial, MILFs, foot fetish, and bukakke. Nothing earth shattering, but a a pretty well rounded list. All in all, it's a pretty solid setup, and aside from the link to that dating site, I have no complaints.
One thing thing I found quite useful, and that I hadn't really considered going in, was their model index. They've used a lot of girls over the years, a good number of which were amateur for reasons that are obvious, and giving the girl's background information a good once over really helped me in picking scenes that suited my own personal tastes. Instead of useless measurements, hobbies, and head shots, they give a short and sweet bio. I don't know about you, but I like to get to know a girl before seeing her soul ripped apart.
And in that respect, the Bang Bus really hasn't changed all that much in the past decade. Sure, video quality has improved tremendously, but the spirit of the material is virtually identical to those first episodes. Frankly, I'm glad they left it alone. It's easy to ruin a great premise by trying to modernize it. The latest update was actually a few days ago, and much like the classics, it opened up with the boys cruising around town, making crude jokes and looking for a suitable piece of ass. As chance would have it, they found a super cute marine. To make a long story short, she gets a load in the face, then they ditch her and the cum rag at some dingy dumpster. Good times.
Just in case you're not familiar with the concept, basically a group of guys ride around in a van searching for a hot target. Once they've found their mark, they lure her into the van with a rouse. Usually it's under the guise of a payed interview. Running time is usually around an hour, and there's a whole lot of build up. This may bother some, because you have to do a ridiculous amount of fast-forwarding to get into the action. Personally, I enjoy it. All of the chit-chat might seem pointless, but I think the ultimate payoff is well worth it. By the time she's got her pants off and a cock in her mouth, you actually care. The acting is, admittedly, hit and miss, but when everything comes to come it's really a thing of beauty.
The archive dates all the way back to the year 2000, and updates are still being put out at a weekly rate. As I write this, there are 715 scenes, each of which is accompanied by a photo and screen cap galleries. Obviously, video quality has improved dramatically since the earlier updates. At the moment there are over 5 different bandwidth-friendly options in the Windows Media and MPEG formats including a mobile-friendly file. Not surprisingly, the older scenes aren't the that great when it comes to play-back quality or resolution, but I think they're still more than watchable. The new HD MPEG-4 looks quite good, though I think they could have done with a larger resolution.
Download speeds were impressive, hanging on at a steady 1.4 megs-per-second. This was also evident whilst streaming, as there was absolutely nothing in the way of buffering hiccups. Which would have been a real pain in the ass with the chapter-selection, which, by the way, I thought was a really nice touch. It's also worth noting that the synopsis, as well as the likes and number of views, really help in making a selection.
The photo galleries are really the only disappointing aspect of the site. As I mentioned earlier, each video is accompanied by screen cap galleries, and they're every bit as underwhelming as you'd expect. Expect 80 images on average, with a resolution around 700 x 800 pixels and a very grainy appearance. You'd think the HD caps would be at least halfway decent.
Your membership also affords you access to the Bang Bros Network, which houses over 40 hardcore sites, including Ass Parade and Blowjob Ninjas.
I think it's fair to say that this site has stood the test of time. Their earliest works still hold up today. I often find myself going back to them, and I can honestly say they get me off just as good as they ever did. The video quality and production values may have changed, and some of the faces have, too, but the overall spirit of the videos hasn't changed much in the past decade. Highly recommended for fans of reality porn, even just hardcore in general. Another great thing about this site is, unlike a lot of other classic sites, Bang Bus actually still updates. The original content alone is worth the price of admission, but once you factor in the bonus sites, joining is a real no-brainer. Highly recommended.

Another day, another implosion of a development-stage biopharma stock after disappointing clinical trial results. Yesterday's leader on the stock market decliner's board was drug developer Telik
Telcyta has been in development as a treatment for various forms of cancer. Shares of Telik hit a high of nearly $30 a share back in April 2004, after the company reported preclinical results for Telcyta that showed the drug might inhibit cancer-cell growth. Then later in the year, Telik reported multiple phase 2 trial results of Telcyta as a treatment for ovarian and lung cancer. These results showed that patients taking the drug in combination with other cancer treatments had a 46% objective response rate for ovarian cancer and a 27% rate for lung cancer.
Based on these positive trial results, Telik enrolled Telcyta in five phase 3 trials for non-small-cell lung and ovarian cancer. Yesterday, results from the first three of these clinical trials came back, and none of them were positive. Telcyta failed to show a survival benefit in its lung-cancer trial, and the two ovarian-cancer trials had "inconsistencies" and "compromised" results because of supposedly bad data -- although Telik reported preliminary results that one trial failed its primary endpoint of improving survival.
I'm not sure what's worse: the confirmed failed clinical trial, or the fact that two of the trials had data that was too dirty to achieve final results, with one of the trials potentially having 25% of patients improperly cared for, according to Telik. Management estimated that it would take at least a couple of weeks to figure out the inconsistencies seen between these trial results and previous trials.
Shares of Telik were down more than 70% yesterday, and with one more phase 3 lung-cancer trial and another ovarian-cancer trial enrolling patients, it's tough to see how Telik is going to avoid whatever the problems and errors were that caused these trials to go bad. Unless it gets a better understanding of what went wrong in all these clinical trials, Telik might be a good company for investors to avoid.

@danielpepperell - The chef's crisply framed, nicely-lit food shots of his neo-tratt creations are consistently some of the finest we've seen on the 'Gram.
There are a lot of food shots on Instagram: the good, the bad, the partly chewed, the flash-flared. It turns out that quite a few top Australian chefs are also dab-hands in the amateur photography department.

Updating the Classic Saucisson en Brioche
Salumeria is the long-time dream deli of San Francisco Bay Area Rising Star Thomas McNaughton. Doubling as a deli and larder, McNaughton and Chef de Cuisine Matt Sigler showcase a tempting selection of local charcuterie and house-cured products, including Sigler's version of classic saucisson en brioche.
At Salumeria the saucisson in question is boudin blanc rather than traditional Lyonnaise sausage. "I wanted to modernize a classic French technique," says Sigler. His sausage recipe replaces typical Christmas spices—nutmeg, clove, and mace— with a mixture of onion, garlic, heavy cream, and milk. "[My boudin] has a lot more onion and garlic so it's moister," he says.
Since the sausage has to survive a lengthy baking time, he incorporates a higher percentage of fat into the filling, using three parts pork meat to one part fat, along with blanched pork skin for texture. "There is high fat content in this, so the sausage doesn't dry out [when baked]," he explains. "If we did a regular grind, it would end up being crumbly."
Chef Matt Sigler begins preparing a combination of pork and fat for his Boudin Blanc en Brioche
Ground on a 1/8 inch dye, 3:1 pork to pork fat is ground into a bowl over ice to keep the mixture cold
Sigler pulses a mixture of meat, dairy and aromatics in a food processor until emulsified
Sigler binds the mixture with a whole egg, adding richness, body, and structure
In a bowl over ice, Sigler slowly adds flour to thicken the wet sausage mixture
Sigler adds flour to bind the mixture
Sigler pours the mixture on top a long sheet of clear plastic wrap
Wrapping the plastic wrap upon itself, Sigler begins to create a "torchon," which he will later poach
Holding the ends tightly, Sigler tightens and shapes the mixture into a classic "torchon"

Sigler secures the ends of the torchon using butcher's twine
Sigler also omits the casing from the boudin blanc, which would normally resist cutting when baked into the brioche. To prevent massacering both sausage and bread, he wraps the fresh sausage mixture in plastic wrap and poaches it. The plastic wrap, he notes, must be tight and secure but not so tight that the plastic will burst when the boudin is cooked. "Don't be discouraged because the sausage is very wet," he explains. "Don't overstuff because the sausage will expand when poached." Cooking the boudin in a plastic "casing" also gives Sigler more control over the size of the sausage and create his optimal bread-to-sausage ratio: 1:1.
Despite Sigler's meticulous modifications, his en brioche technique is fairly straightforward. After poaching, he briefly shocks the boudin to stop the cooking before gently cooling it completely. The cooled boudin is scored, lightly floured, covered in egg wash, and placed in a semi-proofed loaf pan of brioche. The combination is proofed again, allowing the dough to cover the boudin. "[Ideally] the brioche proofs into the boudin," he says.
The real proof lies in a mouthwatering bite of savory, boudin-packed brioche. The version StarChefs.com tried last October, Sigler paired the finished product with creamy chicken liver mousse, sweet brown butter apples, earthy chestnut purée, and bright red onion jam. A thoughtfully composed update on the French original, these elements add pops of flavor and texture, elevating the delicate charcuterie to a memorable plated dish.
Boudin Blanc en Brioche Technique:
- Grind pork meat with pork fat, processing through a ⅛-inch die. Grind into a chilled bowl set on ice to keep the combination cold.
- In a food processor, emulsify ground pork with cold milk, cold cream, onion, garlic, and blanched pork skin in a food processor.
- Move mixture into a chilled bowl over ice. Fold in flour to absorb the milk and cream and tighten the sausage.
- Lay out a good amount of clear plastic wrap and pour enough boudin mixture on top to create a sausage that is half the size of the loaf pan. Start rolling the sausage with the plastic wrap, pinching the ends as you roll until the boudin is the desired shape and size and is secure. Twist the ends to contain the sausage and tighten it up.
- To secure the ends, truss one end and then the other.
- Using a small cake tester, prick any air bubbles from the roll.
- Place the sausage in a pan of cold water and bring it to 180°F. Poach until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 155°F, about 1 hour, then shock immediately in ice water to stop the cooking process. Cool.
- Set chilled sausage into proofed brioche. Proof for an additional 2 hours, then bake at 450°F for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature is 190°F.
- Cool brioche and slice to order.

April Rainy Days
Not much to report on lately, but we have been loving the rain we are receiving. Like most places, we need it. Makes for some soggy horses and slippy situations though. Stay dry out there!

G'day strangers!!
Hello everyone! Decided to sign back in after a very long hiatus and noticed there were a few pending comments, so wanted to post in case anyone was still out there. :) I have been very busy with lots of traveling and Gus has changed tremendously but still such an amazing horse with an awesome personality. With the nature of social media, I have mainly focused on Facebook and Instagram, but thought it was time to say hello again and make some updates. Gus is 9 years old now and we are still at Shiloh Horse Rescue where he enjoys his boarded life with many of the same (and new) pasture mates. Shiloh is still going strong, focusing on The Lucky Horse to sell handmade shoes in order to support the ranch and all of its endeavors. NWHA is not really in existence any longer and actually the status of the group is in limbo, so unfortunately I have no updates on that. But, alas, Augustus is still the same fun and mischievous guy and a blast to ride. We are still loving life out here in the Mojave. I will try to update the site more often, but in case any one is interested, you can follow my account on Instagram - @bonzamate. I tend to post a good mix of travel and horse photos and maybe you will find them interesting. Also, I am on Vimeo: www.vimeo.com/brumbychaser. Until next time, please enjoy some recent photographs of Augustus.

David Archuleta to Abandon His Fans for a Two-Year Mormon Mission
Vulture's Favorite American Idol Contestant of All Time will put his singing career on hold "to serve a full-time mission," he announced at a Salt Lake City tour. "It's not because someone told me I was supposed to do it and not because I no longer want to do music anymore," he explained. "It's because it's what I feel I need to do next in my life." Vulture has always supported David Archuleta and his dreams, and we will obviously continue to do so, but this is a troubling precedent for religiously inclined celebrities. What if Tim Tebow takes two years off? What will we even talk about then?

Green Building Breakthrough: LEED Certification on an Everyday Budget
Hailing a "green building breakthrough," Portland-based Interface Engineering Inc. has published a free 48-page illustrated guide on how to acheive Platinum-level LEED certification on a conventional building budget. This is not an easy task, but, using their current project for Oregon Health and Science University as a case study, Interface has proven it possible. "We're delivering champagne on a beer budget," said Andy Frichtl, Interface principal and lead project engineer. "The key to achieving more with less is integrated design." The projects design accomplishments include 100% on-site sewage treatment with rainwater and wastewater being harvested for toilets and landscaping, saving 15,000 gallons a day and innovative features such as sunshades that double as solar power generators and the first large-scale on-site micro-turbine plant in Oregon to generate electricity. More details on the project can be found here and the booklet can be ordered here; this TreeHugger's is already on its way. ::Interface Engineering via ::Land+Living

How many of those people want to take their chances? I can show you a few Facebook pages that are heavily populated right now with people who have had it up to their necks with the crap their fellow man pulls in the name of righteousness and "the one true god."
The direction of the thread certainly doesn't coincide with the logic of the OP. I kind of think the one who wrote the OP is also the one who derailed it all.
Atheists do not have a belief system we have an accumulation of scientific knowledge.
Can you say for certain that god did it to any of those questions or do you believe that one day man will find the real answer?

You're right about one thing though, you're never too old to learn, Put down that stupid bible and buy a science book with some actual researched facts written in it. Aren't you getting too old for fairytales.edit on 14-2-2013 by GafferUK1981 because: (no reason given)
I hear this "ENRGY CANT BE DESTROYED ONLY TRANSFERED!!!!" # all of the time from afterlife proponents. And they're right it can't. But "You" aren't energy in any sense of the word which goes beyond the physical processes that cause you to be. Once you die, you decay into the ground and the energy that was you (e.g. Your brain which forms your consciousness within the confines of your skull alone) is aborbed into the soil and turned into trees, worms, nitrate for plants and whatever else. That's it.

Two apps I recently discovered are Vintango and Prism.
Vintango, currently FREE on The App Store (normally priced at $2.99) offers a variety of vintage effects. It's an easy to use interface. What I like best about Vintango is the ability to preview your photo with all of the presets at a glance. Here are just a few from the Basic Presets. There are also 20 Classic Styles, 20 Black and White and 20 Lomo Styles.
You can also crop or rotate your image and add text using one of 29 font styles. From Vintango you can save your image or share to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.
Prism (available on The App Store for $2.99) Prism has a different approach to filtering your image. Just watch the video below to check out the unique wheel navigation.
Prism has 14 color-based filter groups
128 professional filters
Supports high resolution images
Here are just three different edits I got in just a few seconds with Prism.
I'm not sure if either Vintango or Prism offer anything completely unique as far as photo results, but if you don't have a good filter app that you already like either of these would be worth adding to your app arsenal.

I am DIY'er and was trying to fiqure out what is required in replacing the coping of my pool. Right now I have the white PVC type coping and about three foot of concrete that is old and needs to be replaced. Here is a picture of my pool.
Could anyone walk me through the steps I would need to take to pull out the concrete and install new concrete cantilevered coping? I am thinking my pool is very similar to the one in the following link.
http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/po ... 230.html?5
The part that confuses me a bit is that I am guessing that the PVC coping and platform are all one piece. If I covert this to a cantilevered coping would I pull out the entire PVC and platform piece and replace it with a different coping, then pour the concrete right on top? It's a little hard to describe, but hopefully someone on here knows what I am referring to. I would like to covert my coping to something like in the following link.
http://baltz-concrete.com/component/opt ... temId,316/
I was also wondering if this could be done without replacing the liner? My guess is that I will have to do this when I replace my liner, but just checking.

Local Non-Profit Coffee House Helps Homeless And Drug Addicts Stay Off Streets
By: Bob Moffitt
Can coffee and muffins help Sacramento's homeless drug addicts get off the streets and stay clean and sober? A local non-profit says yes.
Hundreds of people drive by the TurnAround Coffee House on 7th Street every day. Many have no idea it's even there. Even fewer people know why it's there.
The TurnAround Coffee House has three goals: provide food and drinks to its customers, offer job skills and life skills to the volunteers who work there, and use any profits from the business to fund housing for homeless, recovering drug addicts.
On this day, Jessica Chapple is working the counter. A short time ago, she was living next door to the coffee house in the Sacramento County Jail.
"Well, 90 days ago, I was an addict on drugs and I went to jail," says Chapple. "Growing up, I've been on my own since I was 11 years old. My parents are both drug addicts. So, unfortunately I grew up very early."
When she got out, she entered Clean & Sober Homeless Recovery Communities — a non-profit with 10 town homes and 65 beds for homeless addicts. Chapple can stay there for as long as she wants until she's ready to re-enter society. In exchange for room, board, counseling and job training, she volunteers at TurnAround.
She's grateful for how the program has helped turn her life around.
"It helps me to be able to re-enter to society and be able to maintain a productive life," says Chapple. "It helps me to realize that I am a human being who's worth something and I can be taught a new skill so I can better enrich my life and be able to take care of myself and not depend on any government programs."
She plans to attend culinary school, open her own business and, in turn, send a good chunk of her profits to Clean and Sober HRC.
Much of what she's learned has come from Crystal Urech — manager and a graduate of the program.
"I grew up living in abandoned houses and in cars and actually digging in dumpsters to feed my little brother as a child and through that I got an addiction because it helps you stay awake and I was like when I was a teenager, I was scared to go to sleep because I was afraid I would get raped so I ended up using methamphetamine and it became a really bad habit. It destroyed a lot of my life," Urech says.
Urech had never managed a restaurant, but she had experience as a waitress. After she completed her stay in the program, the non-profit hired her to open and run the coffee house.
TurnAround has been open for two years, and is breaking even. But breaking even doesn't buy more town homes.
Urech also says she's always thinking of new ways to attract more customers.
"Now, we have ice cream, starting Friday," says Urech. "Cones, cups, shakes, you know, I'm just trying new things and trying new things and sending out hundreds of fliers out into downtown so that everybody knows what's new."
Word of the coffee house and its goals seem to be spreading, albeit slowly.
Jason Hernandez has been working nearby on the new G Street extension.
"I've been in here quite a bit over the last few months," says Hernandez. "It's actually pretty cool to see a lot of people coming in and out of here and it's nice to see. It's nice to know that when I spend my money, it goes somewhere in the community instead of walking down to Starbucks and then it goes somewhere else."
About 75 percent of the people who enter the Clean and Sober HRC program are there at least 90 days. The program takes no federal money and allows people back into the program if they relapse. It accepts only what a person can afford to pay - which, often, is nothing.
About 80 percent of volunteers at the coffee house go on to find employment.
Book of Dreams: Holiday party brightens lives of Clean & Sober residents, alumni

For years, the Clean & Sober holiday party was a chance to celebrate
and encourage sobriety and help heal the wounds of drug and alcohol addiction. This year, because
of a shortage in donations, the annual event almost didn't happen. But thanks to Book of Dreams readers, a grateful crowd of 200 gathered earlier this month for an evening of good food and heartfelt reflection at
Fremont Presbyterian Church in east Sacramento.The party brought together current and former
residents in
the Clean & Sober program, their family and friends, and staff members. For some, it was the first time they had reunited with loved ones in many years. "I don't even remember last year's Christmas," said Jessie Rojas, 32, recalling his addiction to methamphetamine and alcohol. "That's how bad I was. Now I have 90 days clean." On this December night, Rojas was joined by 16 relatives, including a grandmother he once robbed under the influence of drugs. In August, after losing his job and living on the streets, he found the Clean & Sober program, which provides housing and 12-step recovery support for homeless people working to end their addictions. The program emphasizes self-help in a supportive community and has served the Sacramento area for 18 years.

Statement of Teaching Philosophy
I teach because I enjoy sharing information gained through years of study and studio practice in painting, drawing, printmaking, animation, and mixed media. I am passionate about art, amazed by its power to reflect and influence the world, and eager to assist others in developing artistically. I strive to help each student develop his or her own system of seeing and thus, expressing. I encourage students to analyze what they see, ask pertinent questions, and respond both visually and verbally. My long-range goal as an instructor is to encourage confident expression and a strong work ethic among graduates. The more immediate goal is to build students' confidence by arming them with the information, skills and practices necessary for artists.
A successful Foundations program helps students recognize and develop their individual strengths through active engagement in the studio. I bombard Foundations students with as many mediums and working methods as time and facilities allow. They gain firsthand knowledge of the physical and expressive qualities of a wide array of creative processes and mediums, but are denied enough time to settle into any one way of working. I believe this approach makes it more likely that students will be exposed to something they are enthusiastic about, and they can look forward to focusing more intently on particular interests in future classes. I use traditional drawing and painting exercises, but often introduce nontraditional materials as a way of dispelling preconceived notions and breaking familiar habits. Failures in the studio often become building blocks for strong works of art later. A failed sculpture, for instance, may find new power as the subject of a strong charcoal drawing.
When introducing students to a new medium, I explain the history, physical makeup, and archival considerations, and then I show work that was made using techniques and materials we're about to try. I then demonstrate how to achieve a broad range of effects by varying the way I manipulate the medium, and we practice together. Sometimes I introduce a second medium to show how one plays off another, but often the goal is to work within limitations. We discuss the resulting work as a class, and students are advised to either address imbalances in their work or move on to the next project.
My lessons are based on my experiences as a student, painter, teacher, and maker of moving images. Because I believe some of the most interesting work happens when several processes are involved, I encourage collaboration or revisiting earlier work. Though the syllabus may follow a linear format, we often return to concepts discussed early on. Design principles are discussed in every class, because we always need to balance light, dark, thick, thin, sharp, round, flat, glossy, stagnant and chaotic areas in our work. I show examples from different artistic genres in order to reinforce students' understanding of particular principles, characteristics and techniques. This encourages interdisciplinary experimentation. Can painters employ a pen-and-ink methods of shading, or would that defeat the purpose of using paint? What are the parallels between organic shapes and organic sounds? What do they feel like, and how can a 2D image translate that feeling? These are the kind of questions they learn to ask themselves.
I hope that graduating students continue to ask questions of themselves and their world through their art. I believe that making art helps us to examine what really matters to us, and we evolve as our art evolves. I hope to assist student artists in finding their unique creative voices by teaching them the working methods of artists before them, and then encouraging them to experiment, reflect, and present their own work professionally.

Conflict of Laws is a staple course at the Catholic University School of Law, and is a subject tested on the Virginia Bar exam. Additionally, Conflict of Laws issues are embedded in other topics on the Multi-state Essay Exam (the MEE is a UBE component), although they do not appear as stand-alone questions.
The term "Conflict of Laws" describes generally the body of law that aspires to provide solutions to international or interstate disputes between persons or entities other than countries or states as such. A dispute is considered international or interstate if one or more of its constituent elements is connected with more than one country or state.
"Conflict of Laws" is the term primarily used in the United States, Canada, and England & Wales, while "Private International Law" is the term used in Continental countries.
[Definition from Eugene Scoles et al, Conflict of Laws (4th ed.)]

St Peter and St Paul, Eye
www.suffolkchurches.co.uk - a journey through the churches of Suffolk
The great flint-encrusted tower of St Peter and St Paul rises above a stunningly crafted interior. Here inside, we will find the nearest thing Suffolk has to a fulfilment of the ecclesiological aspirations of our great-grandparents' generation.
From a tiny spark, a glint in the eye of John Keble at Oxford in the 1830s, the sacramental revival in the Church of England spread like wildfire over the course of the ensuing century. The Church set about rediscovering its Catholic roots, and the preaching houses of the Hanoverians were stripped bare and filled with all the best that the Gothic revival had to offer. In many medieval churches, original artefacts were rediscovered and pressed back into service. Where this wasn't possible, the mass-production workshops of Birmingham and London could be called upon to provide what history could not.
Ironically, the catalyst for all this had been some of those very reform acts which had deprived Eye of its 'rotten borough' status. Catholic emancipation in the 1820s had been followed by grants to a Catholic university in Ireland; Keble, along with Pusey, Newman, Froude and the others, saw that the Church of England was in danger of being sidelined as a protestant sect. The Oxford Movement, as it became known, published a series of tracts to try and educate the middle classes about their lost past. Their intention was that the Church would recover its catholicity, and its destiny as a national church; the inevitable result was that some of the Movement, Newman among them, would leave the Church of England to become Catholics themselves.
The medieval past that they most admired was that of the early 14th century. This allowed them to see the later medieval period as an abuse-riddled downturn, from which the Church had to be rescued at the Reformation. However, as the Movement went on, there were many who asked if the Reformation had really been necessary at all.
The grandeur of Suffolk's biggest churches is an eve-of-the-Reformation wealth of the medieval industrial-heartland-of-England thing. Here at Eye it rebuilt the tower in the second half of the 15th century. As at Stradbroke, with which the tower has much in common, it was De la Pole money that rebuilt it, and the family arms are discernible still. Mortlock points out that you can see the shape of the windows change from late-Decorated to Perpendicular over the course of the 40 years or so it took to build. You can see the last windows, the pure rationalism of the late Perpendicular period, right at the top in the bell-stage. Beneath are some mystical Decorated windows, and below them the vast west window which bridges the gap between the two.
As the tower was being completed, so the rest of the church was undergoing an opulent rebuild. You can see evidence of the extension at the east end of the south aisle, where a blocked door sits beside the new one into the chancel. As at Lavenham, the parishioners here were left in no doubt about secular power and its might. Soon, the De la Poles, the Springs, the De Veres and so on would outgrow the middle ages, and the aspirations of wealthy families such as these would give rise to the Reformation, the nation state, and ultimately capitalism itself.
This was in the future. For now, the De la Poles invested in prayers as well as commerce, and although their south porch is a bit battered these days, it remains one of the loveliest in Suffolk, its brickwork echoing the gildhall on the other side of the church. You can only enter it from inside the church if you hope to see the dole table and fine 13th century doorway that survives of the earlier church, and you have to be there when it is open, for it now contains a shop.
Externally then, this is one of the great East Anglian churches. Here we see the late medieval Church in all its glory.
But in the 1530s, a collision of expediency and opportunity put an end to it all. Henry VIII took the church out of Europe; his son Edward VI enforced its protestant credentials, and Edward's sister Elizabeth I settled the whole thing by imposing a tyrannical oppression of the old ways, to bolster her grip on power. The past was subverted and lost, as first Anglicans, and then Puritans, overthrew the religion of their parents and grandparents, of the long generations. They all but obliterated the old order, the ancient faith. Much was lost, and much was forgotten. This was what the Oxford Movement tried to recover, but in the context of a national established church, with spectacular results.
All gone now, alas, alas. The ritualist tide has receded almost completely, and only the trappings and debris survive here and there, a reminder of what once was. An age that hovers on the edge of a public memory, when the formal vision of the established Church was at the heart of British daily life; an age of candles and incense, of richly coloured vestments and four-part choirs. An age of anthems, and war memorials, and processions, and coronations, and a liturgy that brought you to your knees.
Some of this still survives. Here at Eye the tradition has not completely receded.
You walk beneath the great tower with its wonderful fan-vaulting so uncharacteristic of Suffolk, and then into the open space of a large, civic church. As at Hadleigh, Halesworth, and other small Suffolk towns, the 19th century restoration here was pretty significant. However, into this created space have been placed furnishings of superb quality and design. The centre piece is Comper's magnificent rood screen and loft, built on the remains of the old one in the mid-1920s. The screen below is good, although not as good as some of the county's other late-15th century screens; the loft however, is easily the best 20th century work in Suffolk.
The figures on the dado screen must have been painted in 1500. Pevsner says, somewhat harshly, that they are all bad. It is true that they are doll-like, with nothing like the sophistication of those across the A140 at Yaxley, for example, but they have a certain naive charm. Curiously, the gessowork that forms a relief to the figures is really quite sophisticated. They are, from north to south: I: St Paul, II: St Helen, III: St Edmund, IV: St Ursula and her ten thousand virgins, V: Henry VI, VI: St Dorothy, VII: St Barbara, VIII: St Agnes, IX: St Edward the Confessor, (the gap into the chancel is here), X: St John the Evangelist, XI: St Catherine, XII: St William of Norwich, XIII: St Lucy, XIV: St Thomas of Canterbury, and XV: St Cecilia. You can see them all below - click on them to enlarge them.
Many of these Saints had strong local cults in the late medieval period, and are familiar from other East Anglian screens. The less common St William of Norwich adds a little colour, standing as evidence of an anti-semitism that persisted well into the late middle ages, despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that the Jewish population had been expelled some two centuries previously. Two of the other images resonate strongly - the cults of Henry VI and St Thomas of Canterbury were particularly frowned upon by the 16th century reformers.
Up in the chancel, an entirely secular memorial recalls the Reverend Thomas Wythe, for fifty years Vicar of this Parish. he died in 1835, and the monument notes that he cordially believed, zealously preached, assiduously practiced. It is unlikely that the Reverend Wythe would recognise the inside of his church today. Much of what was foregrounded in this church by the considerable 1850s restoration was further adapted and enhanced by the higher church over the ensuing century. The most spectacular work is by Ninian Comper. As well as the rood and rood loft already mentioned, he produced the great east window depicting the Risen Christ flanked by St John, St Peter, St Paul and St Polycarp. His also is the towering font cover, and the image of St george in the north aisle, which I liked best of all.
The process continues; the elegant tomb recess in the north aisle, for example, is host to Lough Pendred's 1960s Madonna and child. Pendred carved the same subject in a different composition for the lady chapel in the south aisle. To be honest, this kind of light wood romantic abstraction is very much of its decade, but there is a poignancy to its presence here in one of the surviving outposts of modern Anglo-catholicism. Eye is one of the few Suffolk churches that still 'sports the big six'; that is to say, has six tall candles on the high altar.
Comper decorated the chancel roof, which glows magnificently in the morning light through the east window. Tucked away in two corners are two post-Reformation tombs to Nicholas Cutler and William Honyng, the first in the north aisle (it was originally in the sanctuary, according to Mortlock) and the second in the south aisle chapel. They are curious, because they appear to be almost identical, although whether this is a tribute to early-modern vanity, competing arrogance or mass-production I couldn't say.
This is a church in which to wander. It is full of interest, little details and quiet corners. A bit like Eye itself.
Simon Knott, 2003 (updated 2007)
St Peter and St Paul, Eye, sits near the centre of this fine town just to the east of the A140 Ipswich to Norwich road. It is open every day.

Village workers and firefighters in North Aurora rushed to sandbag an overflow that had spilled into the streets and was coming within 15 feet of Village Hall, said Mike Glock, superintendent of Public Works.
"The ice jam's starting down in Aurora and it's jamming up all the way up in St. Charles," he said. "It's heading for our village hall right now."
Floodwaters were lapping at a gazebo on a small island in town, and several homes along the river were reporting flooding, Glock said.

"Very ordinary town, if you ask me."
Mr. Webb, Our Town by Thornton Wilder
On July 12, the NEA announced the 2012 Our Town grant recipients, and whether or not Wilder's eponymous paean to small town life served as inspiration, theatres were well represented. In fact, if we were to call forth our own Professor Willard, he might politely note that theatres not only submitted the most proposals, but received the most awards. He might also point out that a number of these grants were awarded to communities around the same size as Grover's Corners.
These "creative placemaking" grants are designed to increase "livability," a word that might best be defined by Wilder's question, "Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?" From the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, UT, to the William Inge Center for the Arts in Independence, KS, to the Writers' Theatre in Glencoe, IL, these theatres will be using the NEA's support to help the people of their communities realize life while they live it. A look at this Our Town interactive map illustrates how the hunger for that realization of the arts crosses every state line, regardless of geography or size.
That hunger also crosses the increasingly stormy waters of class, most recently stirred up by the Occupy movement. The Civilians have spent the last year performing interviews with Occupy activists, and in the Political Theatre Group on Conference 2.0, they shared news about a nationwide Occupy event on September 17. Occupy #S17: One Year Later invites theatres, schools and activist groups to simultaneously perform the interviews conducted by the Civilians, and engage in conversation on Twitter at #S17civs. Email occupy@thecivilians to get involved with Occupy #S17, and Gus Schulenburg to be set up with full Conference 2.0 access.
Attention must also be paid to a very different 1%—our men and women serving in the armed forces and their families. In collaboration with Blue Star Families and with support from the MetLife Foundation, TCG is thrilled to announce the Blue Star Theatres program. Inspired by the highly successful Blue Star Museums project, we hope to go beyond simple ticket discounts and encourage theatres to make classes and other engagement opportunities available for deployed military personnel and their families. Many theatres and artists are already involved in this work, and we also hope to be a nexus of information. If you're a Member Theatre that would like to participate, visit our website and contact Laurie Baskin with any additional questions. We'll be officially rolling out the program in October, so please join now and show your support for those who have given so much to all our towns.

Filmmaker Jon Favreau is making a return to the Iron Man franchise - to reprise his onscreen role as Robert Downey, Jr.'s bodyguard sidekick.
Favreau directed the first two installments of the Marvel comics movie adaptation, but announced in 2010 that he would not be taking charge of Iron Man 3 so he could work on other projects.
Shane Black was brought in as his replacement and production began in North Carolina on Wednesday (23May12).
However, Favreau hasn't cut all his ties to the upcoming sequel - he has been invited back to portray Happy Hogan once more, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The director, who will also serve as executive producer on the new film, made a cameo as the character in the 2008 original, and enjoyed more screen time as Hogan in Iron Man 2.
Actors Guy Pearce and Sir Ben Kingsley have also been added to the new cast of Iron Man 3, which will see Downey, Jr. return as the titular superhero, with Gwyneth Paltrow as his love interest and assistant, Pepper Potts.
The film is due for release in May, 2013.

While it may not be the cheapest, probably the fastest and easiest way to spice up any basement or outside area is to add colored lights. We've looked at KickStarter projects in the past that are WiFi enabled smart LED lightbulbs, but these are very expensive per light and only illuminate a small circular area. The other solution is to use LED strips, those long single row ropes of LED's that can easily be hidden under a bar or inside an entertainment system. Now, I have looked around the internet before for these and buying one is actually a lot more expensive then it initially seems because they have to include their own power adapter and most of them cannot be wirelessly controlled or change color. As you can probably guess, this is exactly what this weeks project, iGloLED does. Like most of our KickStarter projects this operates via WiFi and includes a host of options for customizing the color. If that is not enough there will also be an available SDK which means that this bad boy is open to the public and all of their programming brilliance.
While this is not cheap, the KickStarter price to get the base powered strip package is $200, neither is the competition. Besides, included is 5 meters of color changing LED's; that's a whopping 16 feet. These can be daisy chained up to each other twice to form a 10m segment, but anything longer then that requires a separate power supply. Speaking of the power supply, with most LED lights power supply is something that is generally left up to the consumer. The lights do not come with a standard outlet socket and need a 12V DC current to operate, which means that they require an additional power converter just to operate. With iGlo everything is included in one bundled package, and the power converter, which is UL certified allows the user to individually control each set of lights, and the mobile app is capable, in theory, of supporting up to 255 separate controllers. So for any bar owners or car enthusiasts, or even just those who are looking for a professional and quality way to add some dimension to a basement or living room take a look at iGloLED on KickStarter and help get this project the funding it deserves.

A robust chicken stew with simple, hearty vegetables, which is sure to become a family favourite!In a large heavy-based saucepan, fry the chicken legs in a little oil until skin is golden. Remove the chicken and add the onion to the pan. Soften until translucent, then add the garlic and mushrooms and fry on high until golden. Add the tomato purée and wine and mix well. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, thyme and tomatoes and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn down to a gentle simmer and return the chicken legs to the pan, making sure they are covered. Simmer gently with the lid on for 30 minutes, remove lid and simmer for another 30 minutes. Before serving, stir through the tarragon. If necessary, remove the chicken once completely cooked and the juices run clear and boil to reduce the sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes.Freezing and defrosting guidelinesCook as instructed and allow to cool completely. Then transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Recycled, alternative gift wrap
I can't remember the last time I bought wrapping paper. I have a few rolls of holiday-related paper collecting dust on a shelf somewhere, but I think it's much more fun to find other ways to wrap (or not wrap) presents. Plus the Internet is teeming with ideas from crafty bloggers, so there's no end of inspiration.
I've admitted before, I'm a total gift wrap accessory hoarder: raffia, tiny pine cones, fake berries, you name it. Ribbon is my weakness, because I believe, contrary to what the Beatles espoused, all you need is ribbon. Ribbon can make the gift, so when I'm in the presence of presents I keep an eagle eye on all the ribbon, swooping in for the catch. I actually bought two big rolls of fabric ribbon from Michael's a few years ago: a red with white polka dots, and a wide creamy ribbed ribbon. These two ribbons have been so versatile that now I'm addicted to them. A gift wrapped in the b&w funny papers with red polka dot ribbon? Perfect for a kid. A simple brown box wrapped in cream ribbon with a pretty tag? Merry Christmas, Mom.
I know that people believe children need the thrill of tearing into paper to truly experience the thrill of gift-receiving. I like to think that children would also appreciate the cuddly softness of a gift wrapped in, say, an old t-shirt or pillowcase. (Stop rolling your eyes, they might stick that way.) I dove into my rag bag the other day and found this ripped pillowcase, onto which I sewed a wide ribbon around the mouth. I'm going to put my son's gift from Santa in here because it will be sort of like opening Santa's pack. Right? (I typically don't wrap Santa's presents -- they just sit out waiting for discovery -- but there will be so few this year that I need to d-r-a-w out the experience.) Also, cloth gift bags are super easy to sew and then just tie closed with ribbon. I like to sew my ribbon to the bag with just a few stitches in the center of the ribbon along the seam of the bag.
Hope from the Eastside GreenGroup sent us an email saying that the group was discussing Furoshiki -- artfully wrapping gifts in fabric. I found this little tutorial on Furoshiki (provided by the Japanese government!) but I am sadly lacking in skills and patience. I did manage to wrap this little box so it is somewhat presentable. (I should note that this fabric is very thin, and that Renee actually made it from scraps leftover from a Halloween costume and wrapped a gift in it for me last year.) But you go Eastside GreenGroup! Email us photos of your Furoshiki creations! Oh wait! Check out this Furoshiki video tutorial. Love the book wrap!
I experimented wrapping this gift in a piece of green fabric, and while I like the idea of it, I'd definitely need to iron this and hem the edges. Which would take far longer than I'd ever want to spend on wrapping a gift. However, the gift wrap would become a gift in itself -- and that's part of the goal, right? To reject the idea of purely disposable goods? I didn't use tape on this or anything, I just tucked the ends under and used the ribbon to fasten the whole thing together.
This is part of a t-shirt from the rag bag. I like how the top kinda looks like a rose.
I also tend to hoard small boxes and containers that come my way, because darn it they are just so handy. And if they are interesting, then you don't even need to wrap them. Oh, another great container? A jam jar, or a Mason jar. I'm telling you, save the tissue from that new pair of shoes and line the inside of the jar with it, and top it off with -- what? Ribbon.
It occurs to me that I've used the word hoard more than once here. Let's just be clear -- we're talking gift wrap, not cats.
Alright, I also love wrapping a gift in a brown paper bag and then using pretty ribbon or wrapping a thin swath of wrapping paper around the bag. That way I can be a little stingy with paper that I really love. I received a gift in that blue paper with the birds (above), and while I typically don't save wrapping paper, I've used this so many times for little tags or tiny wrappings.
OK, enough of what I'm doing already. What about you? What are some of your favorite recycled gift wrap techniques?
Oh, and about recycling. Most wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it isn't foil. Tissue can be recycled, too. But as always, it varies from city to city, so check with your hauler. When in doubt, throw it out.

Negative Reviews as spite for damages - your protection from them - and why VRBO won't Protect us.kensilverman Jun 11, 2011 12:32 AM
Join us in GROUPS, join the "Homeaway Review Policy" group and the "unjust negative review? FIGHT Homeaway" discussion therein.
Homeaway does not agree that one rogue review counteracts tens of positive ones, nor do they think it wrong to put homeowner's on the defensive – i.e. once a rogue review comes in – we HAVE to try to get tens of positive reviews to counteract – so we spend a lot of time calling old renters. WE don't want to be prepared beforehand. We don't want to HAVE to have reviews to mitigate the possibility of a bad review or simply because Homeaway feels it's the "hip" way. Our business was excellent beforehand and we are happy with none or a few reviews.
PROTECT YOURSELF – add a Gag Order-like clause in your Rental contract. Explain to your prospective renters the reason for its existence – you will get good at it and you will not lose customers after a bit of practice explaining it correctly – without shame. It's an issue of trust more than anything. There is no reason the fate of our entire business should rest in anyone's hands.
Our contracts contain a gag order-like clause in which reviews are not permitted unless requested by owner. However, in many cases you can succumb to the reviewer's implied demands – ie pay them back *all* their security (regardless of the damage) and they will, in exchange, remove the unreasonable review of their own accord.
It is unfortunate that Homeaway/VRBO force us to make that choice, but thanks to them, we must give in to the people that rent from us when they leave us rogue reviews as spite in not receiving all security back.
The best protection is a clause in your Rental Contract such as:
"While all of our reviews have been favorable in the past, we cannot risk the rogue review. Certain websites allow reviews that are unchecked with regard to reasonable sentiment. As such, you agree that the relationship between you and the landlord is and shall remain private. Specifically, guest agrees not to post a review on any website unless solicited in writing by the owner, understanding that even minor unreasonable negative sentiment may unjustly cause thousands of dollars in damages to owner's future business. Guest agrees to pay Owner damages of up to $10,000 upon demand by owner if any review is posted by Guest or invitee thereof, is not requested in writing by owner, presents unreasonable negative sentiment in the sole judgment of owner and is not immediately (within 48 hours) removed by Guest upon request by owner. A copy of this document shall serve as Guest's full authorization to remove any such review promptly upon request by owner."

A biomedical scientist works in the health care industry and plays an essential role in helping physicians diagnose illnesses. By evaluating tissue and fluid samples, they are able to offer a diagnosis and a course of action for someone who has suffered from a health related incident, such as a heart attack. They carry out blood transfusions and are active in the area of medical research and study. A biomedical scientist works with physicians to guarantee that the best care possible is provided to patients.
Biomedical scientists work in three area of science: infection science, blood science and cellular science.
Infection science
Infection science addresses the identification of micro-organisms that are responsible for disease. A biomedical scientist working in infection science will create antibiotic treatments and monitor the effectiveness of vaccines against viruses.
Blood science
Among other things, blood sciences include the evaluation of fluid samples to identify risks and diseases and the determining of donor/recipient compatibility. This area of discipline seeks to understand diseases related to blood, as well as the role of the immune system in battling disease.
Cellular science
Cellular science deals with the evaluation of acquired cell samples. A biomedical scientist in this area of discipline will study diseases tissue samples, evaluate tissues obtained through tests such as PAP smears and analyze tissue samples to pinpoint fertility issues.
How Can I Become a Biomedical Scientist?
In order to do clinical work, a doctoral degree in biological sciences or a medical degree is generally required. In addition to this, post-doctoral research may be a prerequisite for working in your desired field. A prospective biomedical scientist with a bachelor's degree can register for a doctoral program in a specific field, or enroll in a joint medical-doctoral program. This will enable them to become a practicing physician with the necessary research skills to become a scientist.
Biomedical scientists are an intricate part of the health care industry. By working closely with physicians to diagnose sicknesses and abnormalities, they are able to help guarantee the best health care to patients.

How To Compliment A Woman
Whenever I compliment a beautiful girl, it doesn't seem to have a very good effect on her.
It's as if she already knows what I'm going to say before I say it. She already knows she's pretty and she's used to having everyone remind of her of it. It feels as if she takes the compliment and adds it to a long list of previous heard compliments. I suppose that's why she's a little full of herself which puts her on a pedestal far beyond my reach.
My question is, if I'm going to be creating rapport and seducing attractive women, should I be complimenting her or not?
How can I make her feel flattered and at the same time have a real impact on her? I don't want her to feel as if I'm just another guy complimenting her.

Oh, I think I've been doing it wrong…. uh oh
This is good advice, solid.
Keep up the good work! That's exactly what guys should be reading. Don't compliment a woman on her looks, and when you actually do compliment her, make sure it's on something specific with meaning.
hello just wanted to say thanks for the tips and means of some of the challenges that we used to encounter. There is this Girl i have loved so much but she thats not seem to release it. how do i do to make her understand the fact that i love her for good. Thank you.
My girlfriend would show me some of the things she had written and I love all of it still today. I'd compliment her about her beautiful writing and even if she'd push away, she'd show me more and more of her words. [:
