Are there Blacks working and living in Cambodia (Phnom Penh)
Hello all,
Kind of a touchy subject but here goes. I am an American Black man, self employed as a lawyer. Things are very tough in this economy and I personally need a fresh start, so I am very interested in looking into living in Cambodia. I know many wonderful Cambodian people here in the States. I'm reading a lot about how Cambodians are less welcoming to darker-skinned people, how schools are less likely to employ Blacks and how even lodging or a visa extension can be a problem. Can anyone shed light on any of this? I have read that Africans have been given a hard time but I wonder if this is across the board for people of color.

When you eat whole blue crab in Maryland, chances are it's going to taste like Maryland crab, even if the crab doesn't come from Maryland. This is because Marylanders tend to prepare their crabs a certain way.
Unlike in Louisiana, where local crustaceans served whole are almost always boiled, whole blue crabs in Maryland are steamed. The difference between the preparations can be difficult to detect, particularly when you're busy probing beneath the carapace for lump meat.
The real distinguishing features of Maryland steamed crabs begin with the spice blends favored in the region. Old Bay makes the most famous local blend, which Marylanders apply to everything from crabs to pizza to Bloody Mary's. L.P. Steamers, a respected neighborhood crab house in Baltimore, favors J.O., another local spice company. ("It's less salty, and cheaper," according to a waitress there.)
These brands are to eastern Maryland what Tony Chachere's and Zatarain's are to southeast Louisiana, and while not all Maryland crab houses employ them, the locally manufactured seasonings fairly represent a flavor profile unique to the region. It's mellower than a typical Louisiana crab boil, with black pepper getting a heavier hand than cayenne, which allows subtler tingles of clove and allspice to ring through.
The housemade seasoning blend at Obrycki's is typical of the region but also unique to the restaurant itself, a classic Baltimore crab house with fine dining trimmings. The steamed-to-order crabs arrive pasted with clumps of damp, dark seasoning. They're served on brown butcher paper. Some diners request malt vinegar for dipping. The crack of wooden mallets smashing open claws provides a familiar soundtrack, and evidence of the crabs' popularity appears around the white bowls of the bathroom sinks, which are pocked with coarse grounds of black pepper.
Earlier this month, an Obrycki's waiter said they were serving a mixture of crabs from Maryland, Louisiana and the Carolinas, a common answer when the question of provenance is posed in Maryland crab houses, at least in this season of disrupted supply lines, thanks to BP's oil spill in the Gulf.
While the health of the Chesapeake raises questions about the staying power of culinary traditions deeply rooted in local seafood, there is little evidence of diminished pride in the regional folkways. National Bohemian -- Natty Boh, in local parlance -- is still marketed and embraced as the city's signature beer, even though it's now made by Miller Brewing Co. in North Carolina. Costas Inn is mentioned by many locals as one of the area's best crab houses, no matter that its "world famous crabs" need to be, according to its website, "flown in daily."
Chef Cindy Wolf has carved a path to the future for regional fine dining at Charleston, her excellent restaurant in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. In mid-September, the menu brimmed with local ingredients, including Maryland crab, which was formed into an ethereal cake set around kernels of sweet local corn and crisp haricot verts.
If the Maryland shore's culinary identity is tied to any one dish other than the steamed whole blue crab, it is certainly the crab cake. Arguably the most locally revered is found at Faidley Seafood, a historic, bare-bones restaurant and retailer inside Baltimore's Lexington Market. Faidley's lump crab cakes are spherical, golden brown and delicious, the kind of cakes so devoid of imperfections you suspect they were prepared by a chef equipped with a diamond cutter's eyeglass loupe.
When asked where the crab came from, a man behind Faidley's counter replied, "Maryland, chief!" Do you ever use crabs from anyplace else? "Of course," he replied. "The good Lord put blue crabs all the way down the coast, all the way to the Gulf."

PASSION projects
JustUS Voices | Storytelling for Change℠
Susan Burton: A Rising Tide, A Welcome Home
Susan Burton was every little girl who ever sought to feel loved and valued. To feel safe. To thrive, and give back.
Before the uneven sway of the criminal justice system closed off treatment options and pushed her into incarceration, she was just a little girl with promise living in the projects of East L.A.
She wanted the things that girls everywhere want: a bit of popularity, tea parties with friends, the accolades that come with good grades. She wanted to soar beyond her circumstances.
Instead, she was mired in hardship, pulled deeper into the quicksand of poverty and its heaviness. The horror of sexual abuse resulted not only in shame but in pregnancy at age 15, and with it the sudden advent of adult responsibilities.
She had a daughter, and pieced together a life for them as best she could. She treaded water, stayed afloat, stayed alive. She fell in love and had a second child, a boy. Glimpses of her girlhood promise came like waves then—salty and turbulent, but lifting her up, too.
Until the big one in 1981, a riptide out of nowhere, that pulled her under. Her little boy, KK—her sunshine and joy—was dead at five years old. Hit by an LAPD officer driving an unmarked car.
Drowning, Susan thrashed about for something to pull her out of that grief-fueled tempest. She grabbed onto a vial of the omnipresent crack cocaine and drifted to a lower hell, arrested and incarcerated on drug offenses.
Once, twice, and eventually six times. With each prison release, she boarded the bus with the state-issued two hundred dollars—"gate money." Each time, she disembarked into that same maelstrom, mere yards from Skid Row and its smorgasbord of drugs and alcohol and pimps, where the prospects for legitimate work were meager at best.
After the sixth time it would have been easy for her to succumb once more, to just give up and get high, get arrested again.
Something welled up inside Susan. That frayed ribbon of her girlhood promise somehow strengthened, like a lifeline pulling her toward the shore. She was swimming this time, pushing away the no-house, no-job hopelessness. Then an angel's gift in the form of money from her brother got her a place at a rehab center.
Rehab is a fairly basic alternative after a drug arrest. Surely after the second or third—and most certainly by the sixth arrest—at least one judge could have remanded her to a treatment facility. At least one parole officer could have offered her a group home option, a halfway house, even a free list of AA and NA meetings.
No one ever raised the possibility of drug treatment instead of incarceration. A compassionate path to reentry…a path not blocked with boulders the size of monsters, or fraught with sink holes deep enough to swallow the human spirit. Never an option; until after the sixth time.
Susan's stay in rehab started her on a new journey and for the first time people helped her believe she mattered. The change profoundly signaled her new way of life.
She secured employment as a home health aide, saved her earnings and bought her own home. Then she went back to that Skid Row cesspool and waited for the same outbound prison bus that she herself had ridden six times. She watched the just-released women disembark, and found replicas of herself. In their faces—a mix of hope and despair that said, I want to do better this time, but how?
She began inviting the women back to her home to stay as long as they needed, contributing only what they could. She helped them chart a course that would untether them from the criminal justice system. Their needs were vast, from treatments to help in the recovery of their bodies, minds, and spirits. The demands ranged from sobriety to securing a Social Security card, to the deceptively simple acquisition of $3.00 for bus fare.
That was 1998. Susan had doled out so many offerings of bus fare that her personal resources were dwindling. She incorporated into a nonprofit program, appropriately named A New Way of Life Reentry Project.
Seventeen years and five houses later, nearly 900 women have come through her doors.
Eight out of every 10 of those women have cut the cord to incarceration. Lives, families, and entire communities have been transformed.
Susan still meets that outbound prison bus at Skid Row. She still sees herself in those women. Though the details of their stories differ, they are the same at the core, where a little girl's need to feel loved and valued, to feel safe, to thrive and contribute in kind still blooms.
Those are grown-woman needs too, denied to Susan Burton and countless like her who have cycled through a brutal criminal justice system that has been blind to those needs.
But thanks to Susan's sensible, compassionate approach, A New Way of Life awaits them. As they step off the bus, she extends her hand to them, mostly younger versions of herself, and says, "Welcome home."
Susan Burton: A Rising Tide, A Welcome Home is the first story in a multimedia anthology from formerly incarcerated people and others who have been touched by, and triumphed over, the tragedies of the criminal justice system. Email us to learn more about JustUS Voices | Storytelling for Change.
Transformative Justice
A New Way of Life Re-Entry Project
When Susan Burton's 5-year-old son died in an accident, the fragile life she had pieced together amid poverty and hardship disintegrated. Reeling from the loss, she tumbled into a downward spiral of drug addiction.
Fifteen years and six drug-related prison sentences later, Burton gained sobriety and founded a safe place for women in need. Since 1998, A New Way of Life Re-Entry Project (ANWOL) in Los Angeles has helped more than 600 formerly incarcerated women rebuild their lives.
More important, she has created a bridge to redemption, economic opportunity and political enfranchisement. A safe, sober-living home environment, ANWOL empowers formerly incarcerated women with leadership and skills development. Its ever-widening circle of services and allies is today a national model for breaking the cycle of recidivism and restoring the human dignity of each individual.
McKinney has served as communications counsel and strategist to Burton since 2010, when she was selected from thousands of nominees as one of CNN's Top Heroes—an honor that recognizes "everyday people changing the world." Our intensive strategic communications push garnered public attention and brought Burton and ANWOL a much-deserved national spotlight as a voice of re-entry and criminal justice reform.
Team McKinney continues to partner with Burton in her tireless work to transform the criminal justice system, providing strategic communications that advances the transformative justice movement.
We recently joined with ANWOL and The California Endowment to offer message training and leadership development to organizations working to implement Proposition 47, California's newly adopted law that reduces nonviolent felony offenses to misdemeanors. The initiative also redirects the savings from reducing incarceration into drug treatment and mental health programs. McKinney delivered strategic communications messaging, and resources to raise awareness, spur action and generate wider community engagement.
McKinney also supports Burton's public appearances on the national stage, engaging media, opinion leaders and policymakers.
Walking with Harriet
Four out of five Black women are overweight or obese. Gwen McKinney used to be one of them.
Federal health data shows that obesity among Black women and girls is at epidemic levels, and linked to a host of chronic and deadly conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Gwen, embracing the data as a personal challenge, dropped 54 pounds and channeled that commitment into motivating and coaching women as a Weight Watchers leader.
Not by accident, a seemingly random email caught her attention. The message was about a new group that was challenging Black women to walk 100 minutes on March 10, 2013—the 100th anniversary of Harriet Tubman's death. The nonprofit organization, GirlTrek, promotes healthy living for Black women and girls by encouraging them to incorporate walking, biking and hiking into their lifestyles.
GirlTrek had a strong narrative emanating from Tubman's legacy as a self-emancipated woman, and effective messengers in its two founders. But with no paid staff members and less than two weeks before the event, the organization needed more hands on deck.
Seeing both the potential in GirlTrek's messaging and a pressing need to address the obesity crisis among Black women and girls, Gwen and the McKinney team jumped into the fray. What followed was a commitment of professional communications support via a pro bono campaign to launch the walking challenge.
With the clock ticking, a multipronged approach was essential—so we merged high-tech and high-touch outreach to publicize GirlTrek's message. The group's collateral materials combined contemporary personal narratives with references to Tubman's life; we capitalized on the connection to identify media targets that spoke to GirlTrek's audience and aspirations. Our social media team revved up interest with a series of posts on the McKinney blog, and produced a weekly "Minute with Gwen" vlog.
The fruits of our labor included placements in The Washington Post and USA Today, the nation's largest-circulation print newspaper, and on a nationally syndicated NPR magazine program and the D.C. affiliate WAMU. McKinney tweeted and posted upcoming media appearances and linked to interviews, which were then reposted and retweeted by the GirlTrek network.
On March 10, Team McKinney joined thousands of women as they walked from the U.S. Capitol Grounds to the Lincoln Memorial and past the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, live tweeting the event as it unfolded. And today, members of our staff still participate in GirlTrek events, including a trip to Selma to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

Shortly after taking her inaugural crossing from Southampton, the world's first SMARTship has been officially named in Bayonne, New Jersey.
She is the ship the whole world had been waiting for and earlier this month she was ready to show off in Southampton. As trade and VIP's were invited to enjoy a weekend onboard, the response was even more positive than expected. The feedback, press and write-ups could not praise Royal Caribbean enough on their new masterpiece.
After a weekend in Southampton, guests boarded for her inaugural transatlantic to New York. She arrived to crowds of people waiting to catch a glimpse of her. Ready for her naming ceremony, it was time for Godmother Kristin Chenoweth to officially christen her. The ceremony included an array of entertainment including a version of 'Somewhere over the rainbow' by Godmother Kristin Chenoweth and Sonic Odyssey. Richard Fain, CEO of Royal Caribbean International said during the ceremony ''The journey began in 2009. That was when we decided to start working on a new type of cruise ship for a new type of cruising. We thought, 'how could we top Allure and Oasis of the Seas'. But Royal Caribbean has never aspired to doing what was expected, and we decided to chart new paths." Fain also went on to say he wants to change the way people think of cruising and wants to hear people saying "Remember what cruising used to be like before Quantum of the Seas … remember when it took an hour to check in? Remember when there was only one dining room? Remember when you needed room keys?" Quantum of the Seas will now spend a few weeks in New Jersey before sailing to her home port of Shanghai.

Fleet of Iranian ships heading to Yemen turns around after being tracked by US warships
A nine-ship Iranian convoy believed to be laden with weapons bound for rebels in Yemen turned around Thursday after being followed by U.S. warships stationed in the area to prevent arms shipments, multiple sources in the Pentagon told Fox News.
The sources said the nine-ship convoy is south of Salalah, Oman, and now headed northeast in the Arabian Sea in the direction of home. The ships, which include seven freighters and two frigates, had sailed southwest along the coast of Yemen heading in the direction of Aden and the entrance to the Red Sea. The two Iranian warships escorting the convoy are Thondor Type 021-class missile boats and the other ships in the convoy are a mix of commercial vessels with some carrying shipping containers.
The USS Theodore Roosevelt, a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier known as the "Big Stick" and her escort, the USS Normandy, a guided missile cruiser, have been shadowing the convoy for the past few days, the sources said.
Fighter jets taking off from the carrier have been relaying the convoy's location to the U.S. Navy's higher command since the start of the week.
Pentagon officials say the U.S. Navy set up the nine ships in a line parallel to the coast of Yemen stretching from the Bab-el-Mandeb Straight to waters south of Oman, which provide "continuous coverage" of the Iranian convoy.
The Iranian Navy ships are characterized as "smaller than destroyers," a Pentagon official with knowledge of the convoy said Tuesday. Asked what type of weapons the freighters are carrying, one Pentagon official said, "they are bigger than small arms."
USS Theodore Roosevelt came within 200 nautical miles of the Iranian convoy, said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.
"At all times we were monitoring the convoy, we didn't need to be in their wake," according to one official read in on the operation.
According to a Navy official the Iranian convoy never made it to Yemeni waters. "They turned around before they crossed the line extending from the Yemen/Oman border," said the official.
But Pentagon officials remain cautious as the Iranian convoy continues on a northeasterly course off the coast of Oman in the direction of home.
"It's not over yet, we will continue to monitor them all the way back home," said one of the officials.
Iran backs the Houthi rebels, who chased the Yemeni president from Sanaa and are fighting for control of the Gulf nation. Warships from Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who back Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, are positioned to the southwest of the convoy, forming a blockade of the Gulf of Aden and the port city of Aden.
Western governments and Sunni Arab countries say the Houthis get their arms from Iran. Tehran and the rebels deny that, although Iran has provided political and humanitarian support to the Shiite group.
The U.S. also has been providing logistical and intelligence support to the Saudi-led coalition launching airstrikes against the Houthis. That air campaign is now in its fourth week, and the U.S. also has begun refueling coalition aircraft involved in the conflict.
The campaign meant to halt the rebel power grab and help return to office Hadi, a close U.S. ally who fled Yemen.
The defiant Shiite rebels pressed their offensive in the country's south on Thursday, apparently ignoring an overture from Saudi Arabia earlier this week, while the kingdom's warplanes continued to target their positions, officials said.
The rebels' prized goal -- the port city of Aden -- remained an elusive one, in part thanks to the Saudi-led airstrikes.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's top leaders, including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif, arrived Thursday in Saudi Arabia to push for negotiations in the Yemen conflict. The two are to meet with King Salman to discuss the crisis, according to Pakisitan's Foreign Office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam.
Both predominantly Sunni majority countries, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are close allies, and Islamabad has supported the Saudi-led coalition, though it declined to send troops, warplanes and warships to join it.
The kingdom and Gulf Arab allies launched the airstrikes March 26, trying to crush the Houthis and allied military units loyal to ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The Saudis believe the rebels are tools for Iran to take control of Yemen.
Loud explosions shook the cities of Taiz and Ibb in western Yemen on Thursday, as well as Aden when coalition warplanes bombed the rebels and their allies, witnesses said.
Residents also said the Houthis and Saleh's forces were attacking the city of Dhale, one of the southern gateways to Aden, with random shelling.
All Yemeni officials and witnesses spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media or feared for their safety amid the fighting.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Smoothie mania!October 25, 2012 at 11:01 am | Posted in VeganMoFo | Leave a comment
Tags: alicia simpson, apple cider, bluey-green smoothie, breakfast, celebrate vegan, cucumber cooler, dynise balcavage, protein shake, quick & easy vegan comfort food, smoothie, smoothie recipe, smoothies, vegan, vegan mofo, veganmofo
I love smoothies.
They are so easy to make and you can throw almost anything into them, coming out like perfection. It is like juicing but easier.
Well, maybe I was a LITTLE wrong about throwing everything together for perfection.
My first smoothie that I made was the cucumber cooler from Alicia Simpson's "Quick & Easy Vegan Comfort Food." It includes a cucumber, cantaloupe, dates and apple juice. I subbed apple juice for apple cider and I thought I was good to go. WRONG. I forgot to check the dates for pits. My last batch of dates had no pits in them, so I just assumed this for these dates (and I was in a hurry.)
When I took a sip, it tasted like pepper. I couldn't drink it! I was so upset and never got a chance to make another one.
I moved onto Simpson's bluey-green smoothie. She said it was more purple, and that she was right. I remember blueberries, some lettuce leaves and possibly a banana. I think maybe some soy milk was added, too.
It was yummy! I love blueberries so anything with that in it is OK by me!
Do you have an awesome smoothie recipe? Please share!
My favorite smoothie is from "Celebrate Vegan" by Dynise Balcavage. I taste-tested for her book and fell in love with the post-race protein shake. Bananas, peanut butter and chocolate? YES!

Series: From Pole to Pole Volume: 1
Edited By: Cinzia Verde, Guido di Prisco and Cinzia Verde
222 pages, 17 colour photos and illustrations, 12 b/w illustrations, tables
The poles undergo climate changes exceeding those in the rest of the world in terms of their speed and extent, and have a key role in modulating the climate of the Earth. Ecosystems adapted to polar environments are likely to become vulnerable to climate changes. Their responses allow us to analyse and foresee the impact of changes at lower latitudes. We need to increase our knowledge of the polar marine fauna of continental shelves, slopes and deep sea, as identifying the responses of species is crucial to establishing efficient strategies against threats to biodiversity, using international and cross-disciplinary approaches.

Not Quite....byskorp75064©
"That's it, already?"
You had turned your head to the side and then face back into the pillow.
"My hands are starting to cramp up a bit, dear."
A special, playful emphasis on that last word.
Damn, that I was simply viewing the most gorgeous woman on earth was my thought as I looked at your tanned body, prone on our hotel bed. I adored giving you those full body massages that you enjoyed, the effect producing sometimes total relaxation into which you fell blissfully asleep and, yet, occasionally would awaken your other desires much to both of our later appreciations.
"I could suggest we get dressed and grab something to eat at the B," a bistro-type restaurant which was my favorite place in Honolulu and to which I had brought you a few times. No complaints ever from you at this particular choice. Perhaps, one day, we would enjoy the Peninsula in Manila. I wanted to treat you to an eatery in that hotel that had the best, undisputed, world class Italian food (go figure) that I had ever had in the world. Alexandria would always have a different meaning in our lives, but for decadence, this Filipino site would surpass that particular hunger.
"I suppose," you did add, "I have been enjoying that little pressure against my ass. So, maybe, we could spend some--"
I pushed myself up, away from you.
My cock was engorged, you had felt that. And, yes, perhaps, I did allow the potential of an invite as I periodically leaned up against the curvature of your toned ass while gliding my oiled hands over your back and hips. I had other desires too. I liked teasing you as well and there was a brief moment that the slipperiness of your skin and my cock nearly merged into a lengthy, mutually pleasurable fuck.
Let's get you dressed."
I gently pulled on your wrists. The yellow turquoise and diamond bracelets that flashed as we swam in the gentle surf off Waikiki earlier that afternoon the only items you wore for the moment. You slowly crawled back over the edge of the bed. Your feet now onto the floor. I kept you there, facing away from me; my touch, holding you there, was a specific understanding. I walked over to the dresser and opened several drawers---followed by the opening of your closet. A long pause there. I returned to you, my body now pressed up against you, deliberately on my account. Your thighs were pushed against the mattress, it being level with your hips. There was a sudden rush of breathlessness from you as I did that.
"I've been wanting you all day, lover. Please, just won't you?"
I could feel your body stiffen, your legs particularly, as I knelt behind you, my lips lightly touching just the back of one thigh. My hands touching, softly the outer curves of your hips at the time. I traced the tip of my tongue inwardly, then higher to that area that would drive you closer to demanding more attention, You felt my hand pull your right ankle up. You allowed this and felt a the sensation of satin slide over your foot and ankle and then further upwards. I saw you look down towards your legs, watching the slipping on of the pair of bright crimson thongs you had brought for this trip. I felt that this color made you look not only sexy but magnificent. You balanced yourself unquestionably against the bed as you slightly raised your other leg. I pulled the thong up along your legs, and around your thighs...carefully slipping the one strap gently between your cheeks, adjusting the front and that strap so as to not be too tight around you. Your one hand joined mine at the level of your pussy. You had placed some pressure there. Yes, I felt you. I knew you wanted me too.
I pulsed and throbbed against your ass as I stood directly behind you. Your hands drifted backwards to grasp my hips, pulling me against you. It would have been so simple to finger that vertical strap to the side and push you over the edge of the bed. I'm sure those were your thoughts as well. I dropped my mouth over your right shoulder and traced the contour of your muscles up along your neck. Sucking gently along your smooth skin, drawing your flesh at once hard into my mouth as you moaned, almost collapsing into my arms as I held you from behind. Your head twisting around, your mouth wanting to engage my attention but not quite able to. My hands pressed up against your breasts, holding them, pressing them hard against your ribs. My tongue allowing a leisurely exploration of your neck on that side, up to your ear and deliciously around the lobe. Your sounds and your pressure against me being just the prelude and ultimate request . You loved when I did this when I was fucking your cunt from behind. The cool satin of that one bra that ensured how stunning your body was, that uplifted and showcased your breasts in the way that brought you attention from other men and a few women, touched the under surface of the warm flesh I balanced in my hands. Your own fingers came up to touch the smoothness against your skin. Your help, as unexpected as I'm sure you felt, but appreciated as I moved back a step, looking down to ensure each clasp held firm. I guided each arm and shoulder, slowly, through their respective enclosed strap. I leaned forward and bit you hard over your left shoulder. You managed a sudden "Oh fuck" as I did that---surprising you, your upper body tensed, as I held your skin between my teeth. You tended to like that as our lovemaking progressed. "Any time now," you suggested. Now, more of a question than anything else. I slowly released my hold as I ordered you to turn around.
You looked down at me, grabbing onto and gently holding the swollen cock pointing directly at your belly.
"What are you wanting?" as your eyes glanced at mine.
I knelt down in front of you. You had not expected that. My hands grasping your ass as I leaned forward into you. I loved tracing my tongue over and around the contours of your thighs and hips...briefly licking at the edging of your thong as it laid tight against your skin. I knew you wanted me to slip my finger under the fabric, to slide it inside of you. Your scent so much more pronounced than the earlier massage I had given you. The black linen skirt I pulled from the edge of the bed, holding it expectantly in front of you, as I pulled back from your legs. Your eyes crinkled a bit.
"Are you going to give me help with your leg or what?"
I allowed some slow caresses, for my own pleasure, as I helped you slip the skirt up higher above your thighs. The metal clasp now snug over your hip as I ran my hands over and around your ass, ensuring the snug fit that this particular skirt would produce in showing off those attractive and muscular legs that I enjoyed. The smooth curves of your tight ass and round hips filled out this skirt in the way that I desired. Perhaps later, I would remove them but not as gently.
I stood up. Your eyes now looking up into mine, your arms slowly beginning to wrap around my neck as your head tilted to one side. That deep color gazing deep into mine and now closed as your mouth inched up toward me. I allowed you to feel the sensation of my cock against your belly button---a harder pressure now of my hands, wrapping and encircling around your hair, falling over your shoulders and now directing you away from me. I turned from you and began to walk back to the closet. I carefully removed the black linen, long sleeved jacket and returned back to you.
"Give me your right arm."
You did as I requested and several moments later, the jacket was on. I had you stand before me. My fingers traced the tanned skin of your belly, teasingly for a few seconds, as I enclosed the bottom two buttons. Your sexy cleavage always a turn-on for me, something that would capture and be part of the full picture of the partner I would desire later in the hotel. You never minded not having an accompanying blouse and having other men looking at your body was as stimulating for you as much as for me.
"I think you should sit down."
I once more knelt down, to reach for the black heels that I placed previously on the carpet next to you. I lifted your right leg up and against and over my shoulder. I was not so gentle as I bit and sucked the inner part of your calf. I could not help but draw my lips and tongue down and around your ankle, moistening...wetting that part of your body. I knew that you were wanting me to go further...for me to pull your toes deep into my mouth, sucking each of them. That was something that you would feel higher up against your clit just like the sensation you would get as I pulled each of your nipples deep into my mouth as I penetrated you, pressing down hard onto your body. You allowed me the extra time to explore your legs in this way...as I slipped on each of the high heels, the black straps snaking up along your calves, fitting perfectly.
"Absolutely wonderful."
"I know," you winked.

As Benjamin Franklin once famously remarked, "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
All of us pay some sort of taxes whether it is on our income, our home or the goods and services that we buy. Our guide looks at the main income taxes in the UK and how much tax you should pay.
Income Tax
The amount of income tax that you pay depends on two factors: the amount that you earn and the amount of 'tax allowances' that you are entitled to claim. Everyone in the UK is entitled to claim their personal allowance – the amount you can earn before you start paying tax – and there are also other allowances for married couples and people who are registered blind.
In simple terms, in the tax year 2011/12 you should pay no income tax if you earn less than £7,475 (the amount of the personal allowance).
You will then pay 20 per cent tax on the next £35,000 that you earn, 40 per cent tax on the next £115,000 after that and 50 per cent on any further earnings.
For example, if you earned £15,000 in the tax year 2011/12 and you had the basic personal allowance, you would pay tax as follows:
- £0 – £7,475 – No tax (this is your personal allowance)
- £7,475 – £15,000 (equivalent to taxable income of £7,525) taxed at 20 per cent = £1,505 tax
If you earned £60,000 a year and had the basic personal allowance, you would pay tax as follows:
- £0 – £7,475 – No tax (this is your personal allowance)
- £7,475 – £42,475 (equivalent to taxable income of £35,000) – 20 per cent – £7,000
- £42,476 – £60,000 (equivalent to taxable income of £17,524) – 40 per cent – £7,010
Here, your total tax bill would be £14,010.
National Insurance Contributions
As well as paying income tax on your earnings you will also pay National Insurance Contributions (NICs). The amount of NICs that you pay depends on whether you are employed or self employed.
If you're employed, you'll pay the following NICs in the tax year 2011/12:
- Earnings of £0 – £139 per week – Nil
- Earnings of £139 to £817 per week – 12 per cent
- Earnings above £817 per week – 2 per cent
If you're self employed, you'll pay the following Class 4 NICs in the tax year 2011/12:
- Annual profits under £7,225 – Nil
- Annual profits of £7,225 to £42,475 – 9 per cent
- Annual profits above £42,475 – 2 per cent
In addition, if your profits are over £5,315 you will pay Class 2 National Insurance contributions of £2.50 per week.

Inside Sitecore we work with Scrum. This simply means that we have the business prioritize business cases and technical teams try to implement them as good as possible. Over the years we've learned a lot about application development and one of those things was that we've to prioritize technical tasks in a similar fashion as business cases. Obviously these don't go always hand in hand. A simple update of the Sitecore platform(for example Update-1 to Update-3) isn't an obvious task for the business. In this particular case, there were only two new features in the platform:
- New Channel Performance report inside the Insight Dashboards which shows which channels drive most value.
- The Content Editor allows you now to display [shared] and [unversioned] to end users, to simplify translation projects
When we did the upgrade, we saw a decrease of performance on our production environment. I've heard from many sides internally the unfunded conclusion that '6.6 Update-3' is a bad and slow release. Interesting thought… But reality was different. Last Monday we released another version of the website, but with the same version: 6.6 Update-3. In the end of the story, if you give people new features, you can never roll back.
The cause seemed to be in the combination of some new relative slow features, infrastructural problems and deprioritized technical tasks. Let's focus on the last ones. Let's assume that the Technical Task was something along the lines 'optimize the custom item manager'. As a business user it's quite hard to judge whether this adds value. A developer never tells you that it's causing a 25% decrease of your website.
So what can you do to solve this challenge? I guess we all do know that we can do performance testing. But that in itself doesn't change the mind of the business owner, who wants to have a quick time-to-market. The solution for that is to agree on the experience. A simple way is to decide together with your business owner what is allowed. For example: every server page needs to be generated and transferred in less than 500ms. This allows a browser load of less than 3 seconds.
Out of the sudden, this small technical task makes sense for the business user, because a developer talks his language. It's a no-brainer but it happens a lot. It's not related to the project process you're using. Scrum has a Definition of Done while using Prince II, you'll talk about deliverables.
Still it doesn't justify refactoring of your code. It's obvious that a business owner doesn't see the value in that. It can even slow you down a lot! There are easy ways to show technical debt like this in relation to team performance, but you need to have a lot of tooling before you can make this visible. Most of the time you don't have those, so let's make it more concrete.
Refactoring is all based on making the same thing do the same job, but in a more maintainable way. If you're doing code and performance optimizations at the same time, you'll end up in the situation where the system performs well, but you've broken all functionality. So split it. Refactoring shouldn't optimize stuff, but is polishing for you and your team mates.
Still it doesn't justify why you're doing it. But it makes it easier to explain to your boss or business owner: I made it maintainable.
Interestingly enough, that's enough explanation for your boss or business owner. As part of your work, you've introduced 3 things:
- Meeting the desired functionality (the feature works)
- Meeting the desired quality standards (it performs well, it looks good, it validates, etc)
- It's ready to enhance further (because it's maintainable)
So let's assume they still don't take it. Then make a list of the crappy stuff and explain in this list why you didn't do it. Every time in the near future when you've to touch an area which is already build, show this list and show what you need to do to start working on it. In the end of the story it's crappy code you've to work with.
Estimations will increase when you touch it again. The shock effect when you explain this is big. You can see it in the eyes of anyone who owns the budget where you are working with. You can go in the 'told you so mode'. You're allowed to do this once. Next time, propose to do it straight away, but as part as a simple flow when creating a new feature:
- First: Meet desired functionality
- Meet desired quality
- Meet desired code quality
- Do the check-in
Note: I make some shortcuts here. I do ignore all stuff like Test Driven Development, BDD, Pair Programming, etc. Why? Because they don't add value to your business. Tests are cool for you. Because you like Green Checkboxes. The Business likes money. So what? Meet each other in the middle. Explain to them in a simplified way why you do stuff. Why Technical Debt matter. Why performance agreements matter. Make it visible. Fail on purpose. Learning is done by failing, not by showing I did according to the book. It's sad but it's damn true. But please, try to fail before you go to production …

Another NCAA tournament is in the books, and this year's March Madness will only help student-athletes make a push to receive a share of the profits.
Connecticut's Shabazz Napier—who was ultimately named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player—caused quite a bit of buzz when he revealed that he doesn't always have enough money to buy food. With the NCAA profiting off the labor of student-athletes, Napier's comments didn't sit well with a lot of people.

CAPS has won the compressor contract for Woodside Petroleum's North West Shelf project, at its $5 billion North Rankin B Platform.
According to the compressor company, the North Rankin B project is similar to the one carried out for Woodside's North Rankin A Platform nearly a decade again.
"As part of Woodside's continuous improvement and 'lessons learnt' policy, CAPS incorporated the feedback from Woodside and developed a package that contains significant design improvements," Alan Kemp, the senior project engineer forCAPS Australia said.
Local content was a major focus for the company as it designed and built the package, with the majority of parts being sourced in Australia.
CAPS will provide three 160 kW Ingersoll Rand rotary screw air compressors along with two air dryers and four filters that have been designed and built specifically to meet Woodside's need for a 30 year life cycle, it stated.
In designing the package, CAPS had to factor in the extreme climatic conditions of Western Australia's North West Shelf, both on sea and land.
Because of these issues it had to build custom features into the compressors to handle the corrosive environment surrounding the platform.
CAPS stated that "the unit's oil and air coolers will be purpose built with unique anodised surfaces and the internal oil handling system will be made of duplex and super duplex stainless steels. The entire external enclosure will be made from passivated 316 stainless steel. In consideration of the location and ecology, the coolant, lubricant and drying media chosen for use in the machinery are non-hazardous and eco-friendly.
"To ensure maximum uptime and reliability, the package will have a centralised state-of-the-art programmable logic controller (PLC) which will oversee the three compressors and two dryers, linked to a range of data monitoring and analysis instruments. The PLC will include emergency power supplies to ensure minimal disruption even in the worst cases," Kemp added.
To make installation easier, the company also created a special lifting beam to provide for safer and easier handling.

In a previous article, I went over how fast it is to add a Calendar event in plain text using the Create Quick Event button. In Mountain Lion's Reminders app, you can do something very similar—tag a reminder with the date and time of when you want to be notified, and it'll use Notification Center to tell you all about it when the moment comes. Automatically. Without you having to go in and edit reminder details after you enter them. Groovy!
To check this out, open the Reminders program and select the plus button in the upper right to add a new one.
(You can click on the blank line below your last-entered reminder to start one, too.)
Insert the title you want first, and then type in the date and time when you'd like to be reminded to do it.
Hit Enter, and the app will parse what you've typed and use the date and time info to set a notification for you. So much faster than having to manually edit things!
As in Calendar's Quick Events, you can use words like "dinner," "tomorrow," "next Tuesday," and so on to designate dates or times if that's easier for you. For example, in the screenshot below, all I typed in was "lunch Saturday," and Reminders set a notification for me for noon this coming Saturday.
That is both the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas.
Note that if you leave out any of the date/time data, Reminders will make some assumptions. For example, if you include a time but no date, it'll think you want to be notified at that time on the current day. If you specify a date only, the notification will come through at noon on that day.
But no matter what, when the time comes, your Mac will helpfully inform you through Notification Center that you should be somewhere else, doing something else.
Shush, you.

In the lower school, pupils follow a Broad General Education in line with the principles of Curriculum for Excellence. In S1 pupils will complete units in Graphics which are aimed at developing skills in presentation, through drawing board work (isometrics), sketching and through CAD. In Design and Manufacture they will focus on their practical skills, knowledge and understanding of tools, machines and materials and an IDL group activity. In S2 pupils further develop their skills in drawing board work (orthographic), sketching, CAD, craft skills and in an IDL group task. In S3 pupils receive 3 periods per week building upon their graphic and craft skills with emphasis on presentation and research and progression into creative design and folio work. Consolidation, differentiation and integration are important factors within the S1-S3 courses.
Pupils in Technical follow skills based courses in S1-3, developing confidence in using a variety of graphic techniques and different tools, materials and processes.
Communication in all forms is vital to society and the means of passing on information graphically is an important and relevant skill. Communication in its various forms has an impact on society, education, industry, commerce and world-wide markets.This course is intended to create awareness in the use of graphics and the techniques used to enhance presentations.The structure of the course provides an opportunity to reflect on the use of graphics in industry and in business and to be aware of the ever increasing advances brought about by the continual advances in technology.
The pupils will develop the following skills:
- Skills in 2D and 3D graphic communication techniques including the use of equipment, materials and software in straightforward and familiar contexts
- Knowledge and understanding of graphic communication standards, protocols and conventions
- An understanding of the impact of graphic communication technologies on our environment and on our society
- An awareness of graphic communication as an international language
- The ability to read, interpret and create graphic communication
- Design skills and creativity to develop solutions to simple graphics tasks
- Planning, organising, critical thinking, evaluating and decision making
- Basic knowledge of computer-aided graphics techniques and practice
- Knowledge of colour, illustration and presentation techniques in straightforward and familiar contexts
Pupils will be developing their craft and folio presentation skills and will complete the given tasks throughout the year. They will be encouraged to use the tools and machines safely and to become more confident in their abilities to be creative and
to manufacture models to a high standard.
The pupils will develop the following skills:
- Skills in the design and manufacturing of straightforward models
- Knowledge and understanding of manufacturing processes and materials
- An understanding of industrial designers and commercial production
- The ability to devise design and manufacturing techniques in 3D
- The ability to select and use, with guidance, a range of tools, equipment, software and materials

With the current problems in the economy, many companies are unwilling to commit to long-term projects. At a time like this, they are more likely to offer short-term projects to consultants. You can find lucrative short-term IT consulting projects if you employ the right strategies.
One of the best places to look for such projects is online. The internet offers a host of options through which you can land the projects you want, without going through agents.

Making sure you have adequate security measures in place while working on your computer is beyond important, especially when you're working with sensitive files in personal or workplace environments. There are numerous tasks you are advised to do, such as install an anti-virus program for Windows or correctly set up a firewall. However, those only protect you from remote threats.
In case your system is stolen, doing things such as encrypting your hard drive and securely deleting your files can prevent the thief from reaching the data they may be looking for. Today we'll be focusing on how to delete your files securely to prevent their recovery, and how you can accomplish that on a Linux system.
There are a number of different options available for you when it comes to secure deletion and wiping. The first one is a utility called
shred. With it, you can delete files as well as hard drives securely. It should already be installed on your Linux system by default, so no installation of the utility is necessary.
To "shred" a file, you simply need to run the command
shred /path/to/file. This will overwrite the data that the file in question takes up, but the file itself will still appear as it hasn't been deleted. To run the utility and have it delete the file, you can run
shred –-remove /path/to/file. Finally, shred only overwrites the data a few times by default. To change this setting, you can run
shred -–iterations=50 /path/to/file to have shred overwrite the data 50 times. Of course, you can change the number to whatever you please, but remember that a higher number will take longer to complete. You can also combine flags, such as
shred –-remove –-iterations=50 /path/to/file.
Using the utility to wipe hard drives completely is another command away. The command I would recommend is
shred –vfz –n 10 /dev/sdX, where
sdX should be replaced with the hard drive's actual identifier. If you're not sure what identifier the disk or partition in question has, check the Disks application. The
–v flag shows the progress of the operation, the
–f flag changes any file permissions so that the operation can successfully complete, the
–z flag makes shred overwrite with zeros during the final run, and the
–n flag followed by a number dictates the number of overwrite runs shred should perform.
If you are in need of any other settings, you can find them by running
man shred.
If you are specifically looking to wipe a hard drive or other device, you can also complete that task with the
dd utility, which is most commonly used for copying partitions or writing ISO images onto USB drives. You can overwrite a hard drive or partition with zeros by running the command
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M. You can also overwrite the drive or partition with random data instead of zeros by running the command
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=dev/sdX bs=1M.
Sadly, dd does not come with a progress bar of any kind, so you'll have to sit in front of your monitor for a while watching a blinking cursor.
Finally, if you want a graphical alternative to shredding files, I recommend you try out BleachBit BleachBit - A Utility To Clean Up Your Linux System BleachBit - A Utility To Clean Up Your Linux System Read More . While the tool does not work for scrubbing an entire partition or hard drive, it is an effective tool for deleting files in a secure manner as well as wiping free space. You can accomplish these tasks by launching BleachBit after installation, and then choosing an option from the File menu.
Also called the "CCleaner Optimize Your System To Run At Its Best With CCleaner Optimize Your System To Run At Its Best With CCleaner Over the last two years, CCleaner has changed quite a bit in terms of version numbers...up now to version 3.10 at the time of this writing. While visually the program actually hasn't changed much (it's... Read More for Linux," BleachBit can help tidy up your system in the process. Deleted files can also by shredded, as configured in the program's settings.
As you can see, there are a number of different ways for you to quickly and easily shred or wipe your files, partition, or hard drive. It's really up to you how you want to complete the task, and this list doesn't include all possible options, but these are the most common and the ones I'd recommend the most.

WARNING - Shred File and Shred Folder options in Bleachbit are just a simple delete! Recovery software can and will get those back every time. Bleachbit Wipe drive does actually wipe drives (like a USB stick) so no recovery is possible. Bleachbit Clean option is still unknown if it actually 'wipes' (overwrites) of if it is also just a simple worthless delete.
Thanks for the article! Do you know how to make the regular 'delete' function use dd or bleachbit when wiping the files? Or even to add a bleachbit option to the right-click menu?
Thanks again!
Thanks for the article! Do you know of a way to add a bleachbit option to the trash, standard delete function, or to the right-click menu?
If you consider secure delete / wipe operation on a hard disk, you should use HD manufacturer's special wipe cd and initiate secure wipe operation on chip level (I mean ATA commands). This way it will be faster and more secure. You can check out this page for more info : http://tinyapps.org/docs/wipe_drives_hdparm.html
I think you need to check the usefulness of the shred command. According to "man shred" shred will not be effective for: Journaled files, RAID, NFS and compressed files. That pretty much excludes all files in a modern Linux file system.
I work in a data wiping environment. we use a bespoke system but for consumer purposes it may have been useful to give a bit more depth to the article on how and why we need to wipe. Theft is only one part of the need. Selling drives can be to unscrupulous people who buy second hand drive purely to scan for fraud. Then there are broken drives, sent to the recycle yard but can often be put back together and individual plates may still fully or partially work. I would recommend encrypting data with a key you can remember! But even some encryption can be crack I see today https://windowssecrets.com/newsletter/legitimate-app-breaks-popular-encryption-systems/
Even though you know this you need to state that cannot wipe an OS when still using that OS! You need to use another OS on a separate partition, drive or removable media. It's simple to us but others may shoot and ask questions later!
I have used bcwipe for years, mostly for wiping free space for also for complete drive wipes
To wipe the whole hd Terminal doesn't ask you for root permissions? I THINK the command should start with "sudo". Great tools btw thanks.

DENISE Van Outen is a highly recognisable face of British TV, thanks to her many years as a presenter of popular shows.
But what else is there to know about this bubbly blonde – who regularly appears on Loose Women? Here is her story…
Who is Denise Van Outen? What is her background?
Denise Van Outen was born Denise Kathleen Outen on May 27, 1974, in Basildon.
She is an English actress, singer, dancer and presenter.
She is best known for presenting The Big Breakfast, for playing Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago both in the West End and on Broadway and for finishing as runner-up in the tenth series of the BBC One dancing show Strictly Come Dancing.
What TV shows and films has Denise Van Outen been in?
Denise became a household name when she co-hosted The Big Breakfast with Johnny Vaughan from 1997 to 2001.
She has presented many TV shows including Who Dares, Sings, Something For The Weekend, and appeared a judge on Born To Shine.
Denise is also an actress and starred in EastEnders in 2015.
She has appeared in six films, including Run For Your Wife with Danny Dyer.
She is also the narrator on The Only Way Is Essex.
Denise has a strong theatre background, and fronted her own one woman show, and also starred in West End musical Legally Blonde.
When did Denise Van Outen split from Lee Mead? How old is their daughter?
Denise met Lee when she was judge on BBC talent show Any Dream Will Do in 2007.
The couple announced their engagement in January 2009 and married in the Seychelles in April 2009.
Their daughter Betsy was born on May 1, 2010.
However, Lee and Denise didn't have a happy ending and in July 2013 the couple split up.
Who is Denise's boyfriend Eddie Boxshall?
Eddie Boxshall has quite a different career from his famous girlfriend – he's a commodities trader from Essex who specialises in the oil business
Eddie is believed to have children of his own, and he started dating Denise back in July 2014 after they were introduced by a mutual friend.
On April 9, 2018 Denise confirmed in Loose Women they were moving in together.
Did Denise Van Outen fall out with Johnny Vaughan?
Denise and Johnny were a huge hit when they co-hosted The Big Breakfast.
They then tried to rekindle this magic on Capital Radio in 2008, co-hosting the flagship Breakfast Show, but things went badly wrong.
Denise quit after six months and claimed her one-time pal "sabotaged" her career by fading her microphone down when she went to talk.
But in 2015 they made up over a pint.
Denise told The Sun: "It was really nice and everything is all water under the bridge now. It was so great to catch up as we hadn't spoken to each other in so long.
"We put everything in the past and all that is behind us now."
Does Denise Van Outen play golf?
Denise is a keen golfer and can regularly be seen out on the course.
She often takes part in celebrity charity matches.
Denise recently played in the Celebrity Cup 2017 at the Celtic Manor in Newport.

Andy Samberg: I'm Leaving 'Saturday Night Live'
Andy Samberg will not be returning to Saturday Night Live next season.
"It's an incredibly emotional and strange moment in my life. Obviously it's not a huge shock, but I did officially decide not to come back," the 33-year-old comedian told the N.Y. Times.
Andy's decision to leave comes two weeks after Kristen Wiig gave her last performance on the show.
"She kept saying it just feels like it's her time. I connect with that," Andy said. "Something about it just feels like it's the moment. My contract's up and I did so much more than I ever thought I would ever even do."
ARE YOU SAD Andy Samberg is leaving SNL?

Maps of all U.S. states that include county lines are available on MapsOfWorld.com. Additionally, a tool that superimposes county lines on Google Maps can be found at Mob-Rule.com.
Counties are geographic subdivisions of states that have their own independent government and officials. County governments are entrusted with duties separate from those entrusted to state and city level governments. Some duties that take place at the county level include the maintaining of public records, maintaining law enforcement services and courts, coordinating public health initiatives, and maintaining public infrastructure. County governments also organize and fund polling places for national and local elections.

You can reserve your test drive from the Tesla UK home page now. For some reason you don't get a choice of model - maybe they have one of each S/P/P+? Only one way to find out... what are you waiting for?

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. special envoy for Libya has met with leaders of the Tripoli-based government and says he hopes a draft agreement aimed at forming a national unity government can be finalized in coming weeks.
Bernardino Leon on Wednesday noted "tangible results" in the talks in Istanbul with the General National Congress, which controls much of northwestern Libya. The country's internationally recognized government is based in Tobruk to the east.
Leon was to host new discussions in Geneva on Thursday and Friday. It was not immediately clear whether the GNC would attend. It balked at talks last month in Morocco.
The parties have been asked to present their candidates for the prime minister and two deputies to lead the national unity government and get the war-torn country out of its crisis.
