First: Let's think about lesbian porn. Notice how the lesbian sexuality has become fetishized in our society. It is not an independent sexuality for women, rather, it is a sexuality presented in a way that is meant to please men. It is crafted in a way that's not intended for women viewers, but male viewers. Why? Because at the end of the day, the societal construct dictates that females are considered to exist for the pleasure of men.
Second: Let's look at gay men. When arguments arise against homosexuality, condemnation of gay males usually comes before condemnation of gay women. In contrast to the fetishism of lesbian porn intended for men, gay relations are criticized because they apparently "feminize" the male figure. It is socially assumed that one or both males in a homosexual relationship must be "the woman". And since we live in a society in which masculinity is preferred over femininity, this becomes construed as a problem.
Essentially, the treatment, presentation, and revulsion towards homosexuals stem from social concern regarding the state of masculinity. This insecurity is ultimately perpetuated by our patriarchal society.
I'll give it a shot. I didn't have an answer at first, but now I think I'm starting to see the relationship between the two. 2sense had a better explanation than I, so instead of repeating it poorly I will try to simply add to their argument. The belief that human relationships should consist of consist of at least a male/female pair rests on the notion that people fall into one if these two binary options. It does not reflect the fact that peoples' measure of sex and conception of gender are social-linguistic structures. Humans cannot be so easily reduced to "male" or "female." These words reflect categories, but people, all people, have unique gender/sexual expression that as a whole transcend these boundaries. Even people who are entrenched in gender binary culture exhibit behavior and traits that freely extend across the artificial divide. Thus, heteronormativity and homophobia are predicated on the notion of clear distinctions between the sexes/genders and stereotypical adherence to the same in all parties.
Now saying it correlates with sexism? Let's be frank here, you homosexuals are going completely out of your minds. Sex is a biological born trait, homosexuality is an emotionally developed state related to sexual preferences. A woman cannot disguise as a man and go to the urinal and piss into it and pass off as a man. You cannot have a man dress up as a woman and have sex with a man and produce a child because of their sex.
You cannot fool nature.
Homophobia is prejudice against people who are attracted to the same sex.
Sexism is prejudice against people of the opposite sex.
Homophobia is when someone thinks it's "unnatural" "sinful" or "just plain old bad" for people of the same sex to have relations. It's also staying away from homosexual people, stereotyping them, and assuming all gay people will try to hit on you.
Sexism is the idealism that people of the opposite sex are lower than you. In pretty much all cases of sexism, it's men being sexist to women. So sexism is when a man assumes he's better than a woman, due only to the gender separation.
Also, no, men aren't biologically stronger than women. Yes, women have evolved to carry children, but if a woman does strength workouts just as much as a bodybuilder, than I guarantee she would be equal to him. Also, men aren't automatically stronger than women. If a man does very little to improve his physical strength, he won't be strong. As a guy who rarely works out, I can say with complete honesty that I'm sure every woman I've come across could beat me to the ground, workout or not.
I'm getting off topic. The point is, sexism and homophobia are very different things. Very very different.
When it has nothing to do with the opposite sex, and everything to do with the fact that the PHYSICAL SEX they have is with men like THEM. That potentially to someone with a traumatic past experience, old school values could make them uncomfortable. It's the right.
I actually have gay friends but I admit I don't like the presence of overly FEMININE gay males that don't look like females. If they play the whole role that is a different story. But SUPER Feminine acting/speaking gay guys are simply annoying to me. Does that make me homophobic? How if I have gay friends?

It is awesome to have a pastor engaged in ministry outside the walls of the church and in the local community. It is even better to have laypersons engaged in ministry outside the walls of the church and in the local community.
It is awesome to have professional church workers trying to love neighbors with the love of Christ. It's their job. It is better when the people in the pews are doing it…in ways that get them out of the pews. It, too, is their job.
It is awesome to have church leadership affecting change in their local context, seeing needs and meeting them, finding ways to bring peace, and hope, and healing. It's far better when the whole Body of Christ is doing this as the reach is far greater.
I have been able to get our folks thinking of what it means that they are missionaries in our little corner of the world…that we have a sending God who sends us to be a blessing to this world of ours. But, always, the question remains of how we put this into practice. What is the program or the model we use…?
Last year we engaged in Blessing Groups, finding ways to bless each other and bless our communities. This was a pretty traditional "missional community" model.
This fall we are trying something different. It's from Ben Yosua-Davis and is called the "5/5/50 rule". The notion is that resources are limited in most local churches. We have limited money. We have limited numbers of people. And we have limited time. But, in most churches, we can come up with 5 people who can devote 5 hours for a project that will bless their surrounding community for a cost of no more than $50.
This does a few things. First, it makes it doable financially, taking away the financial barrier to many projects and forces the folks to think pretty small and local. Secondly, it's applicable to even really small congregations. Third, there is no assumption that people are making a monthly or weekly commitment. And, fourth, the people in the pews take ownership. They have more eyes and ears to more broadly see and hear the concerns of the community. Plus the project can be for persons or groups or places that are already important to them.
And, as of last Sunday, the offer of "micro-grants" of $50 was announces to the congregations. The hope is that persons will think about ways they can be in service to bless our community (or a little corner of the community) and make a difference.
What are some ways to make a difference?
Ben Yosua-Davis suggests a few projects:
- Does your city have quarter-eating metered parking downtown? Get a truly insane number of quarters and drop them all over the downtown. Pay up people's parking, leave them on people's windshields, and occasionally leave a note saying, "You are loved."
- Where do people who are homeless gather in your community? Find that park (or parking lot), buy a few dozen donuts and a gallon of coffee, and hang out with them on a Saturday morning.
- Contact your local family homeless shelter. Make homemade cards with messages of appreciation and encouragement, and send them to the residents along with cookies (even store bought are fine) and flowers.
- Talk to a receptive school guidance counselor and find out what their poorest students need most. (It may be books, backpacks, or food for the weekend). Put together care packages for the students. Pray for the children whose lives you will be blessing.
- Don't know much about your community? Find the local gathering spot (restaurant, cafe, gas station), and hang out there for a couple hours. Buy coffee for the next person behind you in line, and watch who comes in and out for a couple hours. Afterwards, use what you see as an opportunity for prayer.
But here are some more ideas:
- Go to a local non-profit armed with cleaning supplies and offer to clean their facilities. The money could be used for the supplies needed and any extra supplies could be left behind.
- Check with a nursing home about supplying board or card games. Purchase them. Play them with the elders. And leave the games behind.
- Build a ramp for the home of someone who is in a wheelchair.
- Do a collection of clothes for the Nome Community Center and use the money for shipping.
- Offer to provide refreshments for free at the new "Movie Night" taking place at Seward's Rae Building. The money could go towards the supplies.
- Get families together to bless your neighborhood with cookies during the Christmas season.
- Adopt a classroom at the school. Use the money to purchase books for a classroom and offer to volunteer one week, reading the books while you're there.
- Buy paint and offer to paint something…a fence, a room, playground equipment, a porch.
So, what would you do with 5 people / 5 hours / and 50 dollars?

official. Christmas decorations have made it into department
stores before Halloween.
And while
some of us remember the good old days when you wouldn�t see a
tree or stocking until Thanksgiving, the 44 families and
organizations around Arizona who are participating in Red Rock
Fantasy started their holiday decorating months ago - long
before its November 16 opening ceremonies - to help bolster our
holiday spirit.
holiday season, Red Rock Fantasy, hosted by Los Abrigados Resort
& Spa, attracts thousands of visitors and tour groups to Sedona.
And, while the event lasts only the few short weeks,
Thanksgiving through the New Year, planning for the event is a
year-round task that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
�This has
been a wonderful bonding experience for our family, our kids
have been working with us since year one,� said event veteran,
Cynthia Connolly. �Our grandkids now help - OK they get in the
way most of the time - but it is still a great time we share
Those who
have been participating in Red Rock Fantasy for years know that
there is an advantage to planning early. All theme ideas have to
be approved by a committee. Red Rock Fantasy promises 44 new
displays every year, so a theme can never be duplicated, and in
the cases where more than one group has selected a similar
theme, the ruling goes to whomever submitted their idea first.
Once the
themes have been approved, display sites (located through out
the resort�s landscape grounds) are assigned by lottery.
Participants are given a gift card from Home Depot to purchase
supplies, along with 12,000 lights, eight sheets of plywood,
glue guns and all of the glue they need to build their displays.
Contestant families can also contribute their own supplies with
some restriction.
selection took place on May 7, leaving contestants with just a
few short months to bring their ideas to fruition. While many of
us were taking cover in the air conditioning, these families and
organizations were braving the heat to start work on displays
that, in the past, have included everything from our cartoon
favorites, to Santa�s workshop, and a 40-foot swan.
Red Rock
Fantasy contestants are spurred on by their holiday spirit and
the chance to win a lifetime vacation ownership package through
ILX Resorts, Inc., parent company to Los Abrigados Resort & Spa.
The winner of the competition is tallied from ballots cast by
event attendees.
�We owe the
success of Red Rock Fantasy to the hard work of our
participating families and organizations,� said Lori LoDuca,
vice president, ILX Resorts and event organizer. �It is truly a
pleasure working with the contestants each year.�
This year,
Red Rock Fantasy will be better than ever hosting a variety of
kids activities, concerts, carriage rides, and special events.
The �Lights
On Ceremony� for the 16th Annual Red Rock Fantasy will take
place at 4:45 p.m. on November 16, and will last through the new
year, ending with �Lights Out� on January 1. The festival is
open each evening (weather permitting) from 5-10:00 p.m. Fridays
and Saturdays, and 5-9:00 p.m. Sunday-Thursday.

Cooler Master COSMOS SE Review
Cooler Master COSMOS SE Conclusion:
This is an amazing case. Solid, well-built, and looks great from any angle. A true case for the enthusiast. It really has the "wow" factor and it is a nice compliment to the larger COSMOS II. To some, a computer case is a necessary evil. A cold, sterile place for your computer hardware. To others it is a statement. A bold line in the sand. And those people spend a lot of time examining each model, each brand - comparing features, options and prices (I am one of those people). Anytime a new model comes out I pour over the details. But it is just a case, right? Well, to me each case has a personality and selecting the right case is an essential part of the build. The COSMOS series has five models, each with a feature set and price point aimed at a specific group. The SE brings a lot to the table, and looks great doing it. It has space, expandability, and support for large top and front radiators. For the enthusiast or even the casual builder who is looking for a case with a lot of bang for the buck, the COSMOS SE hits that sweet spot of total functionality and style that won't disappoint.
As for the cons - there certainly aren't any show stoppers, but I think the reset button needs to be by itself. I haven't done it (yet) on this case, but on other cases that have the reset button located next to a fan or LED switch, I somehow manage to give myself a nice "surpirse" reboot. It only takes a time or two of doing that and you know darn well where the reset button is. And the optical drive bays not being tool-free - well, once they are installed you don't really fool with taking them in and out, so if it takes an extra minute during the build to install a couple of screws, is that a con? No, not really.
Pricing is comparable to other cases with similar features and the vented side version (COS-5000-KKN1) is available at Newegg on October 10, 2013, for $169.99 + shipping. The windowed version (COS-5000-KWN1), which is our review case, will likely cost a little more. Cooler Master has hit the ball out of the park with the COSMOS SE. A great looking, high quality case with a ton of features.
- Handles!
- Attractive design
- Up to 18 places for mounting SSDs and eight to mount a HDD
- Options for large front and top radiators
- Great clearance underneath for air flow
- Easy filter cleaning
- Great cable management
- Superior fit and finish
- Price
- Reset button too close to the fan LED button

quality metrics and regulators
I am afraid that's not a simple. Even if quality metrics goals and effects would be clearly described, that does not stop regulators. They just do their job, and they need transplant metrics to evaluate transplant centers. The metrics could be used in combination with something or so. Konstantin Tchilikidi, M.D.

|IU Kelley MBA students and partners journey to Guatemala.
The culture at Kelley has to be one of my favorite parts of our MBA experience. I say "our" because that's how Kelley makes me feel – a part of my student/husband's journey. Kelley is a place of inclusion and acceptance, and that extends beyond the students. Apart from attending class or running for class president, the Kelley Partners are invited to most program events.
It's a story best told in pictures. ¿Listo?
|Partner Travis and student Theresa
Muench at the H4H job site.
We joined our students and their teams on their second week in Guatemala, after their consulting projects wrapped up. (Read about one of the projects here.)The first day was spent working with Habitat for Humanity, helping build houses in a small town outside of Guatemala City called Chimaltenango.
Imagine a job site with several future consultants and supply chain analysts exercising their expertise – we had to be one of the most productive teams to volunteer for H4H. We dug ditches, leveled foundations, mixed and poured cement. We also had a lot of fun.
|The landscape of Chichicastenango.
The next day, we toured the charming Mayan markets, colorful cemeteries and churches of the small town of Chichicastenango.
|The colorful markets in Santiago Atitlan.
From there, we toured the areas of Lake Atitlan, flanked by three active volcanos. We took a boat ride across the lake to a neighboring village. The views were breathtaking.
Two Kelley students & a partner
overlook the city of Antigua.
We then spent a few days in Antigua, the original capital of Guatemala that was destroyed by a volcano years ago and rebuilt in the same colonial style. Cobble-stone streets, colorful buildings, ruins of churches with the Fuego volcano in the background. We enjoyed walking, biking and hiking tours. Some of us learned how to make coffee and chocolate.
Our last stop was to Flores, where we climbed the Mayan ruins at Tikal.

I'm leaving out so many details of the trip – it was a full week of fun. I have so many wonderful memories, and inside jokes, with students I didn't know so well before the trip. I've always felt a part of the Kelley MBA family, but even more so after this trip. While global experiences are required for Kelley MBA students, I'd say attending a trip like this is a must for Kelley Partners.

Eugène Fontenay (1823-87) was one of the foremost goldsmiths in France during the second half of the nineteenth century. He was a great admirer of the ancient techniques of granulation and filigree, and became best known for his outstanding work in the 'archaeological' style. Fontenay was no doubt inspired by the Campana collection of ancient jewellery, acquired by Napoleon III in 1860, and his firm produced much work in the antique style based on Greek, Roman and Etruscan examples. French jewellers tended not to copy antique models as closely as did the Italians, instead introducing a freer stylistic interpretation, for example in the use of diamonds.
This necklace has five circular painted enamel pendants bordered with diamonds at the front, alternating with drop pendants, the back with alternating butterflies. The matt painted enamel roundels are loosely inspired by the wall paintings discovered in the ruins of Pompeii. The enamels were painted by Eugène Richet, who trained as a miniature painter, and collaborated with Fontenay on numerous occasions, usually painting pendants and medallions based on the antique.
Fontenay first showed his 'archaeological' jewellery at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1867. The retailer's label in the original case provides additional information about this particular necklace: the Paris firm of Boucheron occupied two premises in the Palais Royal between 1867-1873, thus dating the necklace to those years.

Interesting question in one of the forums the other day: I'm using Thesis – how do I customize my footer?
The footer is an often-overlooked area of your web page that, if used properly, can help your on-site SEO.
Some of the things you can use it for include: an additional navigation menu (good for SEO if it's text-based), links to your privacy policy, your copyright statement, and links to other sites of yours (useful if you offer web design services).
I've seen many footers that contain ads, category listings, popular articles listings and all sorts of stuff.
I don't generally like those types of footer – but each to their own!
Customising your footer, then, can add a lot to your site. And here's how to do it with Thesis.
If you're comfortable using the custom_functions.php file you can do it there. If not then you should install Thesis OpenHook, which I wrote about here.
Create Your Content
Whichever option you choose, you'll need to create your content using normal HTML and CSS (and JavaScript if you want to). I do this as the first step.
You can do this anywhere. I do it in Notepad, save it as an HTML file and then I open the file with my browser (File>Open and locate the file on your PC) to review and adjust it until I'm happy.
To style your footer you should declare some styling in your custom CSS file (I wrote about the custom CSS file here). Just add:
.custom #footer { your styling declarations }
Inserting your content into the footer
The next step is to insert the content you've created into the footer. With Thesis you have two ways of doing this:
Using the Thesis Openhook plugin
Go to your Thesis OpenHook screen and locate the footer hook:
Click the Footer Hook and paste the content you created for your footer into the box that comes up. Check the 'Execute PHP on This Hook' check box and hit the 'Little Save' button.
You're all done.
Using the Custom Functions File
If you choose to add your custom footer via the custom_functions.php file you can follow the same process for creating your content and adding styling to the custom stylesheet.
Then, in your custom_functions.php file, you'll need to create a new function into which you paste the content you created, wrapped in php tags.
Here's an example (this one has in-line CSS, but if you create a div in your custom stylesheet you would just declare the div id instead):
function footer_contents() { ?>
Website designed and built by Abledragon
All Rights Reserved

 < ?php } add_action('thesis_hook_footer','footer_contents');
Once you've done that you'll need to add the function you've just created to the
thesis_hook_footer hook:
So before you start making changes to your custom_functions.php file be sure you can access it through your FTP client so you can correct the problem by either editing the code you've just entered or removing it altogether.
That's it - you're all done.

As all Business Owners and Managers know, safety panel screens are now mandatory for most industrial machinery applications as either a machine guards to prevent to prevent workplace injuries or to provide zoned safety fencing around a machinery cell.
Machine guards on all types of industrial machines can have several functions. In some industrial processes very high speeds can be developed within the machines and the operators have to be protected from potential objects being projected at them at high speeds from within the machine. Polycarbonate sheets offer the highest possible protection while safeguarding a clear sight on the production process.
In harsh chemically aggressive environments, it may be necessary to use Coated Polycarbonate sheet, which has a protective glass like coating on both surfaces, making its surface almost inert to any chemicals being splashed onto it.
In several other industrial processes, requirements are less high. Mechanical movements at low speed can occur. Machine guards are often used to avoid the operator interfering with the production process and thereby being potentially harmed. In such cases, Polyester (PETG) sheets offer a good alternative: good impact strength, high optical clarity and the possibility of making more complex shapes through thermoforming. We can provide noise reduction screens and booths to help with the impact of noise levels in your workplace.
We will customise machine guards to your requirements to ensure that safety regulations are met.

The Milazzo loafer is a modern take on a classic style. By adding leather fringe with a touch of gold and metallic hardware, my intention was to maintain the meaning of a slip-on while giving this silhouette a jolt of electricity. Whether you're hanging out on the boat or walking through the city, this is a shoe every man should have in his closet.
Materials: Camo calf hair, Sangria red lamb suede lining, Genuine black leather, Elastic gore
Genuine black leather fringe with a gold leather underlay
Gold hardware
Black rubber Vibram sole
Foam insole; lined in sangria red lamb suede
Returns/Exchanges: There are currently NO returns, only an exchange of product or customer credit that may be granted
Shipping: Prices will vary depending on shipping locations. Exact prices to ship a product are determined based on weight, size, and the shipping time of the package. Pricing does NOT include any taxes, or duties owed to countries outside the US. For expedited shipping, additional costs may apply
Production Time: Once an order is placed, your order will be processed. Please allow a few days between production and packaging. The finished product will be packaged and shipped once completed. A confirmation notice will be sent to you once complete
Sizing: All shoes are based on US sizing.
Product Care: Included in your packaged box is a cleaning kit that comes with a bottle of cleaning solution and brush. Color bleeding of the lamb suede lining will occur having been dipped in dye and worked and will continue to do so after the initial and a few subsequent wearing's; however, this will subside and no longer continue. The dye will generally come out of all socks simply by washing on a normal setting accompanied with the appropriate cleansers. To avoid excessive bleeding be sure to stay clear of moist areas and make sure to store your shoes in cool, dry spaces inside of you OBF velvet dust bags when not in use. This is a normal occurrence and not a manufacturing defect.

User review on Hyundai Eon written by arjun kukreja on 27 July 2015
arjun kukreja's review on Hyundai Eon Magna +
Year of Manufacture : 2013 | Driven no. of Kms. : 3457
- Pros: great mileage
- Cons: none
I stay in a very crowded locality of Lucknow and I always wanted to purchase a small car for daily in town commute. I was very much confused between Hyundai Eon and Maruti Alto. I chose Eon over Alt0 because Eon has a good wheel base which results in good cabin space. The high end trim of this car offers lots of safety as well as comfort feature. Mileage is fairly good and looks are impressive.

He kidnapped three women between the ages of 14 and 21 and held them captive for ten years. He would beat and rape them and punch Michelle in the belly when she was pregnant (which to me is murderer). He was good family friends with the Dejesus family and when they held vigils for their missing daughter he would often lead prayers and play music while he had her chained up in his house the whole time. He was evil.
Ariel Castro should have gotten the death penalty for sure. He had many years worth of opportunities to decide that what he did was wrong. At no point did he every decide to release those girls or to turn himself in. Due to his permanent nature as a criminal he should have been put to death.
Ariel Castro deserved the death penalty for the crimes he committed against three young women over the course of many years. After being captured, he showed no remorse for his actions and even blamed his victims. There's no reason that we should have allowed Castro to live for the extended time he did.
Ariel Castro should have gotten the death penalty. This is because of the fact that Ariel Castro murdered and raped children. Murdering and raping children is one of the most evil things that someone can do, and for one murder, a death penalty is useful. There is no lack of evidence for this.
Ariel Castro should have gotten the death penalty. He killed some one and he should not have, so he should die in cold blood, just like he killed Trayvon. It is not right that he is not in prison right now, suffering like he should be, while Trayvon's family is still seeking justice.
The death penalty needs to be used much more widely than it currently is. There are some in society that should not be allowed to live after the crimes they have committed. There is no 'rehabilitation' that is going to change them. They are going to do nothing to help society. In fact they are psychologically and physically damaging others. It needs to be stopped. If there were harsher laws many of these criminals would think twice before committing these acts.
I do not believe that Ariel Castro should have received the death penalty. I believe the death penalty is a huge injustice to society and there is no case where it should be used. Humans are far better when they make humane and ethical decisions that do the least harm.
The death penalty should be abolished because of the many innocent people who get put to death under it. Castro, was clearly not innocent. I think that what he did was beyond disturbing and I think that a more appropriate punishment for him really would have been to place him in prison for the rest of his life. It would have been fitting if he could have been in solitary confinement. He would have a bit of insight into what he did to the women he held captive. Unfortunately, he took the easy way out and killed himself.

Another Watershed Moment?
The Methodist Federation for Social Action applauds the leadership, courage, compassion and faithfulness of those Bishops who have and will lend their names to the "Statement of the Counsel to the Church – 2011!"
Out of concern for the welfare of all God's people, and, out of a special concern for the people of The United Methodist Church the Bishops are asking us to change the way we relate to people who are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered.
• Will this be a watershed moment as was May 4, 1956, in Minneapolis when the General Conference of the Methodist Church approved full clergy rights for women?
The Bishops are calling us all to consider a more loving and just path than we have been on and remove the language and practices of discrimination that dehumanize some among us as "incompatible."
• Will this be a watershed moment as was the 1968 General Conference, when the segregation of the Central Conference was abolished within our newly forming United Methodist Church?
The Bishops are declaring their conviction that the current disciplinary position of the United Methodist Church need not and should not be embraced as the faithful position for the future.
• Will this be a watershed moment as was the 1996 General Conference in Denver, when we stopped referring to persons with disabilities as being "handicapped?"
The Bishops are making known their names to share their personal convictions on the matter of excluding gifted and called clergy from ordination, as a way to encourage others to do the same.
• Will this be a watershed moment as was the "Denver 15" proclaimed, "We believe it is time to break the silence and state where we are on this issue that is hurting and silencing countless faithful Christians?"
The Methodist Federation for Social Action pledges to help our prophetic Bishops make this vision of hope for our denomination a reality with our prayers, our presence, our gifts and our service; that in all things God's love and grace might be glorified and made known to all!

In the third season of Breaking Bad, AMC's critically acclaimed drama, there was a flashback to the apex of protagonist Walter White's life. While touring an empty prospective home—a home that viewers have come to know so well—Walter bemoans the lack of space for the many children that he plans on having. A young chemist in the burgeoning Sun Belt of the early '90s, Walter holds his pregnant wife and says, "The only way is up." This scene is perhaps the cruelest of the series, which chronicles Walter's bleak descent into the world of border killings, drug cartels, money laundering and Faustian imbalance. The show touches upon most things desperate and failing in America's huge, dry Southwest, and returns for its fifth and final season Sunday night.
The fall is precipitous. Walter's pregnant wife will give birth to a child with cerebral palsy. Walt will get cut out of his business by his partners, and will begin teaching at an Albuquerque public school. His wife will unexpectedly become pregnant again as he turns 50. He will have to take a second job at a car wash, and then, finally, he will be diagnosed with terminal cancer. Facing the prospect of his family falling into poverty, Walt turns to cooking meth. Initially a sloppy, dangerous novice—the first enduring image of the series is Walt, standing in his underwear, with a gun, as a noxious plume escapes a shoddy RV—Walt enters the upcoming season having found his way to the top of a criminal empire, possibly with meth-dominion over the entire Southwest.
Over the course of the show's four previous seasons, viewers have watched Walt go from a desperate, compassionate father and husband to a cold-blooded murderer and kingpin. Instead of passing from the earth and leaving a tidy pile of cash for his family, he has dragged them down with him. He has repeatedly placed them in danger. He has made them complicit in his crimes. Viewers wonder when his death will arrive—or maybe it has, for surely this must be hell. For viewers to still find Walt, a killer and pusher, immensely sympathetic, is the feat that makes Breaking Bad the benchmark of exceptional drama. The show is an exercise in ethics and impossible choice, rooted in the heightened reality of our country's wracked and wretched West.
There are many sources to assign blame for Walt's sorry condition. As a teacher, Walter shouldn't have to take a second job just to provide for his family—it's even hinted that the fumes from the car wash were the catalyst for his cancer. As a citizen, he shouldn't have had to decide between cancer treatment and the well-being of his family (but privatized healthcare will do that to you). People usually deal with these obstacles legally. They do so by racking up more debt, burdening their families, placing more people in the red in states that vote deep red. But Walt resists. He uses whatever agency he has to die on his own terms. Because the stakes of drug trafficking firmly places our protagonist so far outside the status quo, because our hero is a criminal, the viewer is forced to ask, If playing by the rules only gets you so far, why bother? Breaking Bad dismisses the idea that your blue-collar job will provide for you, that, if needed, the State will, too, and that doing the right thing will be its own substantive reward. The show doesn't aim to moralize or assign blame; it works to deconstruct these little fallacies that keep the poor from demanding dignity.

Bruno Senna, nephew of the three-time world champion, has beaten off competition for the second seat at the Grove-based team, in the process almost certainly ending the Formula One career of his friend and mentor Rubens Barrichello, and will line up alongside Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado this year.
The announcement led to mixed reactions within the sport, with some saying the association brought back unhappy memories of Imola.
Others said it was a sign of the times that Williams, who won nine constructors' and seven drivers' titles in the 1980s and 1990s but have fallen on harder times recently, should have to sign two South American drivers who bring large amounts of sponsorship backing with them.
That may be true. Nor is the Brazilian exactly a rookie driver about to explode on to the scene. He is already 28 and has raced for both HRT and Renault (now Lotus) in Formula One. But Senna showed more than enough in his outings last season to suggest he has untapped potential. He is also one of the most personable drivers in Formula One and universally liked.
Williams rejected the claim that was their chief motivation was money, insisting Senna had been picked on merit after a lengthy selection process.
Barrichello, the most experienced driver in F1 history, reacted with characteristic dignity to news that he would not be lining up for a 20th consecutive season in the sport.
"I wish my friend @BSenna all the best," he wrote on Twitter. "The future is wide open."
Senna added that he had accepted the drive with the full blessing of his family. "I spoke to my grandparents even before my parents when I got the confirmation," he said. "Everyone knows that we have been looking so hard for a chance and everyone is thrilled and super happy that Williams have given me that opportunity."
Damon Hill, who raced alongside Ayrton Senna in that fateful race in 1994, also gave his blessing, saying Senna had raw talent and it was now up to him to "shake off the stigma" of being branded a 'pay driver'.
Hill was unveiled on Tuesday as Sky Sports' latest big-name signing as the satellite broadcaster prepares to launch a dedicated F1 channel in March ahead of its first season sharing coverage with the BBC. The 1996 world champion will travel to 10 races this year as an expert analyst.

Hi! Suzz here.
How about a Christmas Village you can use for Place Settings, Gift Card Holders or just adorable Candy Treats?
I started with two sets of the Basically Bare – Happy Little Houses:
and the Mixed Media Card Set:
which I assemble together using the Paperie Binderie:
which looked like this:
All of these items are available in the Basically Bare Retail Shop.
I used the die cuts as templates to cut out different pattern papers to decorate the houses. I attached the papers to the house and sponged with a touch of white paint. I cut sides from the mixed media cards as well as my bases to my houses. I used hot glue to attach the houses to the base.
I added hot glue mixed with crystal glitter to the base. I added embossing paste for snow on the roof and door frames. I sprinkled that with glitter as well to give it a shimmer.
I had previously misted tissue paper with snowflakes and used that for stuffing in the center of the gift box.
Now I have four gift card holders and candy treat containers for last-minute gifts. These easily could be hung on the tree as well with a few hole punches in the roof and some glittery twine.
Happy Holidays!

Chances are, unless you've embraced the European way, or are a hermit or hobbit, you shave something on your body (I don't need a list). When I first started using shaving cream I thought it was the equivalent of chocolate mousse for my skin, except it smelled like fairy farts and unicorn tears, and was made from clouds and the dreams of small children. It was GREAT. The bottle promised intense moisturization and glide, and was covered in fake little dew drops and swirls in a rather pathetic attempt to convince you that you were shaving your legs in a Swedish spa.
I'm not here to try and convince you to stop shaving. I'm sure there are many benefits, like added warmth, lower maintenance, a stellar built-in Teen Wolf costume, and a strengthened ability to attract the opposite sex (hypothetically, at least… something to do with scent trapping). So, if you want to go au natural in the shaving department, I'd love to hear how that works out for you, but for now, that's not me as I've already chosen a Halloween costume for this year.
Eventually, though, the unicorn tears turned from tears of joy to tears of agony, and the children's dreams morphed into nightmares. Shaving cream lost its charm. I no longer wanted to pay $4 for berry-scented foam that had only one purpose and came in some seriously unfriendly packaging that I had to dispose of at least once or twice a month. Like an ill-maintained relationship, the romance was gone. Also, I like making things.
Enter: shaving soap! Once you can make normal soap, shaving soap is incredibly easy to make. No, really. You just use a bit more castor oil and add clay. That's it. For real. It is best used with a brush, which adds all sort of turn-of-the-century romance to your de-hairing rituals. The lather is great, but it won't be the same as the stuff you're used to getting from a can. It's less like frosting and more like bubble bath.
Shaving Soap
40% olive oil
30% coconut oil
20% beef tallow
10% castor oil
1 tbsp clay per 500g of oil
20g essential oil per 500g of oil
Follow the directions I've laid out in my entry on making your own soap, adding the clay to the oils as they cool.

IGN: Capcom has given us its vision for its four separate Resident Evil 6 campaigns and we've played them.
Four campaigns in this day and age sounds very interesting.
Leons and Ada´s campaign seems enough for me as fan of the older ones.
Resident Evil 6 still might not appeal most fans tough but i personaly think it seems much better than RE5 in everything. [mostly because of the latest footage]
Now waiting for reviews later this year and see what´s the outcome.
Can't believe that this is all coming on the same disk! Capcom, you suprised me!
Its looking better & better.. Ada Wong having an entire campaign is awesome.. As long as the game is lengthy & fun, im going to buy it day 1.. Capcom has to show the industry who & why they are KING of the survival horror franchise.. Wheres Jill & Claire??
lol...are people actually falling for this
4 campaigns is no big deal, it's obvious that the campaigns are going to be really short. This is Capcom man...are people forgetting that.
I'm surprized they've made it look even more like a generic third person shooter...who knew

Summary: After centuries Cupid finally finds the ONE for him.
Note: This is a 2013 Valentine's Day Contest story so please vote.
Note 2: Also, please note that I have created my own rules for Cupid's ability and rules of love. I did some research and concluded that there is no one story for Cupid...so I made up my own.
Note 3: Fans of mine, this does not have any hints of many of my usual themes of submission. This is simply a love story.
Note 4: As usual, thanks to MAB7991 for editing another of my lengthy works (this one on a time crunch).
Cupid had spent centuries helping others find love and spent almost as much time watching the love he sparked come crashing down in a fiery blaze. Not surprisingly, the plethora of failed relationships that he had been instrumental in starting had slowly eaten away at the once optimistic God of Love.
Cupid used to love his job; watching the undeniable glow of a woman when she knows she has found the one or watching a man who had been a player his whole life quit cold turkey when he meets one that challenges him in ways he didn't know a woman could. Those were the moments that warmed Cupid's heart.
Yet, the past thirty years had been very disillusioning for the love God. With over fifty percent of marriages ending in divorce and most teens losing their virginity to someone, they didn't even love as if love and sex were not connected. Society was crumbling right before his eyes. Sex had become a commodity and not something special or intimate.
Cupid himself had felt the glow of love many times throughout the centuries, yet had always denied himself the inner lust that had simmered inside him. He gave people love, but never felt it himself. As the centuries flew by, the temptation to just give in to the growing hunger to love, to feel something real and concrete was becoming harder to resist. He too craved the kind of love that transcends time and existence and would give up being Cupid in a heartbeat if he ever found the one.
Unfortunately, his mother Venus told him centuries ago, when Cupid was young and coming to grips with his fate, his gift, his curse, all true descriptors for Cupid depending on his emotional state that the rules of one sexually intimate transgression with a human.
His mother explained: There is no black or white Cupid. Once you have consummated a relationship with a mortal you yourself become mortal and lose not only your ability to live forever, but also your unique gift to bring love to a world in turmoil. I know it is tempting my dear, but you are a beacon of hope for Mother Earth, a constant good in a world where sometimes love is the only thing keeping a person alive.
So although Cupid had been tempted many times throughout history to cross the invisible line between Gods and humans, he remained celibate.
Centuries of the same job became rather monotonous to Cupid and in the last few decades he had been responsible for many of the top headlines of the year. It started accidentally when his shot missed the woman he was aiming for and hit Marilyn Monroe instead. Who turned around simultaneously and fell instantly for the playwright Arthur Miller. Cupid thought maybe the God of fate Moirae had spun her magic and Cupid figured it was meant to be. It wasn't until the 1990's that because he had become so bored with his job that he became rather mischievous putting together couples who logically made no sense. The first was Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts, then it was Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. Once Cupid got started he couldn't stop, he cast his spell on Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Macaulay Culkin and Mila Kunis, Renee Zellweger and Jack White and most recently on Katy Perry and Russell Brand and David Cross and Amber Tamblyn.
2013 should have been just another year like so many proceeding it, where Cupid controlled his inner hunger to feel love, yet for Cupid 2013 would be both the ending of one life and a start to another.
Cupid was feeling melancholy as the month of love started. Valentine's Day had become a commercial fiasco just like Christmas and Easter, the true meaning had been skewed over the years so much that the true meaning was just a facade. Valentine's Day was supposed to be a day for people in love to celebrate their lives together...no more and no less.
No lame cards that had replaced love letters; no flowers which had become a symbol of how much a man loved a woman, which Cupid thought hilariously ironic considering flowers die (a rather depressing metaphor for love, although since so many relationships ended in epic failure Cupid assumed it was more foreshadowing than metaphoric).
Also, as soon as Christmas ended, the plethora of Valentine's Day overpriced propaganda hit the stores just adding to Cupid's frustration of how real love was portrayed. To make matters worse, Cupid had always resented how he was portrayed in the media. The long historical image of him as a baby with wings was ludicrous, he did not look anything like a baby, nor did he have wings. The truth was much cooler. Cupid could not fly, but he could teleport anywhere in the world. It was the best perk in this crazy gig. Cupid had traveled every inch of this glorious world. He had seen empires rise and fall and seen the happiness and horror that mankind can experience from every possible way imaginable. He could also make himself invisible which was a pretty sweet party trick.
Cupid was, of course not a baby, but a handsome man who had not aged a day since his 25th birthday. He wasn't a Greek God like Adonis but he was very handsome. After centuries of plying his trade as the bringer of love had given him the gift of understanding exactly what any woman wanted. He also understood that all women were different but for the most part they fell into four basic categories.
1. The pleaser: This was a very generic descriptor that hits a wide range of women.
A. The Insecure Syndrome These are women who often had limited relationship experience and clings onto someone who gives her attention, even if it is not positive attention. Often they end up in a loveless marriage with an overbearing loser. They stay married because it is better to be with someone than to be alone.
B. The Daddy Syndrome The pleaser could also be a woman who grew up with an authoritative old school father and a stay at home, do EVERYTHING, mother, who was bound to fall for a man just like her father thus continuing the cycle. Ironically, she is often oblivious to the reality that her man walks all over her (also an insecure syndrome trait).
C. The Needy Syndrome The needy may sometimes be a mixture of an insecure and a daddy syndrome or just someone who ALWAYS needs to be with someone. They often settle (actually all types of pleasers usually settle) because they NEED to feel important, to feel NEEDED even if they are treated like crap by their man.
2. The diva: this too is a descriptor that can hit a broad range of diverse woman, all beautiful and all dangerous.
A. The Bitchy Snob Syndrome As the title suggests, these woman are bitches. Odds are they are daddy's girls with lots of money who have always gotten what they wanted and expect relationships to work the same way. A bitch is self-centered and quickly angered and usually as fake as she seems to be. Yet, if you can break past her fierce outer shell, she can be tamed from lion to kitten rather easily.
B. The Seductress Syndrome These woman are always on the prowl. They ooze sex appeal and they know exactly how to use it to get what they want. They tend to drift from man to man and are not interested in settling down. They like to be noticed and put up on a pedestal, yet they almost always have ulterior motives. Tigers in the bedroom, they are the toughest to tame.
C. The Social Butterfly Syndrome These woman love to be the center of attention and are uncomfortable when they are not. They are gossip queens, fashion obsessed and live and breathe Cosmo Magazine. They too love to be noticed, but unlike the seductress they want to be wooed, wined, dined and treated like the Goddess they have convinced themselves they are.
3. The lost: these woman have lost who they are or never found it and can't break out of the cycle they find themselves in.
A. The Slut Syndrome Somewhat of an unfair label, as men in the same syndrome are called studs, but these woman find self-worth through sex. They believe love and sex are synonymous. Many of these women hate themselves in the morning when they realize who they have slept with and yet fall into an unbreakable cycle as they search for their twisted view of love. B. The Abused Syndrome The saddest of the syndromes, the abused have been in one or more horrible relationships where they were bombarded with physical or emotional abuse (often both). Unfortunately, often their self worth becomes nothing and they clutch onto even the smallest fragments of a loving relationship, creating often a love-hate relationship.
C. The Bitter Syndrome These woman are the toughest to label as their reasons for their current situation can very. Most often it is because they have been betrayed by a man they loved who cheated on them. It could be a string of men who lied to them or just one relationship that ended horribly bad, either way these woman put up a shield, usually through sarcasm and cold stares that keep men who could warm them at a distance. Sadly, these women are most likely to end up alone because their hard shells have become impenetrable.
4. The hopeless romantic: Of course, for every pessimist, there is an optimist, and thus we have the women who dream of the perfect man.
A. Serendipity Syndrome These women are eternal optimists who know their Prince Charming will come. They read their daily horoscope, are usually sweet as pie, and love Nicholas Sparks. They probably still have all their teddy bears from their childhood and still watch every princess Disney movie imagining they are Snow White, Belle or Cinderella.
B. White Wedding Syndrome These women have had their wedding planned since they were teenagers or younger. They have hand sketches of their perfect dress, know the exact shade of blue their bridesmaids will wear and has already written her vows a thousand times. The church, the hotel and the honeymoon are already meticulously planned...the only variable missing is the groom.
C. Saving Herself Syndrome These women are a dying breed unfortunately, as sex itself has become less meaningful than it once was. Teenage girls are blossoming earlier than ever and movies, magazines and music have created a culture value system that uses sex as a weapon. The few of these who remain are usually shy and reserved or idealistic and independent or religiously moral...sometimes all three. They resist the temptation to conform to today's expectations as they save themselves for their perfect man.
Cupid understands women completely and could easily woo any woman he wanted and yet he refrained because he knew the consequences, yet the longing to feel the love he so freely gave to others had grown to epic new heights during the past few years.
So Cupid wasn't looking for love when it happened, but like the powerful arrows he shot so many others with, when it happened he was unable to resist the temptation, unable to break the spell and unable to deny the inner hunger to feel love...true love.
It was February 11th, a Monday, and Cupid was in a rather foul mood like he usually was the week before the big day of love. His last arrow was shot rather spitefully at a man in a three piece suit being rude to a chubby waitress. He chuckled at how the conversation changed from hostile and loud to sweet and tender in an instant...the man never knew what hit him.
Cupid was watching amused at the sudden shift in behaviour of the rude man when a young woman with tears in her eyes crashed into him spilling her coffee on him.
"I am so sorry," the young brunette apologized; clearly, she had been crying.
Cupid instantly felt a spark with the young woman, he replied, "No, I am sorry. I just stopped in the middle of the sidewalk."
She pulled a Kleenex out of her purse and began wiping Cupid's jacket. "I am not myself today."
"I never am," Cupid joked back, the true meaning of three simple words so much more complex than the young woman would ever understand.
She laughed conservatively, "Well sorry again," and she began walking away.
Cupid didn't want this brief moment to end, but no words formed in his head and he stood there speechless as she walked away. He watched as she got on a subway train assumedly headed to work. Cupid intrigued, followed her, an unexplainable burning inside him, pulled him after her.
She exited the subway, her tears done falling but she still looked pale as a ghost. She entered a big building and Cupid, turning invisible, continued following her into the elevator. Cupid could literally feel her pain and knew without a doubt she had been betrayed by a man recently. Reaching her floor she got off and Cupid followed her to her office where he learned she was a secretary at a law firm.
Over the next hour, Cupid learned her name was Beth, she liked her coffee black, she was a diligent worker, yet even though she hid her pain well to others, he could feel her inner turmoil and the hope of love fading.
At the time, Cupid had no intention of falling for her as he soon would; he was just trying to mend a broken heart. He left Beth alone and found the nearest flower shop where he purchased a beautiful bouquet of red roses. He wrote a sweet yet simple note to make her feel worthy of the love she so greatly deserved.
Beth, You are beautiful and deserve nothing but the best. Your secret admirer
The delivery was scheduled for after one pm and Cupid went along his merry way with his arrows ready to spark the flame of love in other couples. Unfortunately, Cupid lacked focus. Every time he saw a woman or man who could use their fire to be lit, Beth's face popped into Cupid's head. Unable to focus, he decided to return and check on Beth.
As Cupid was walking towards the building, a strange fate that he usually controlled occurred, as Beth appeared with another woman assumedly heading to lunch. Cupid smiling, attempting to turn on his rusty charm, joked as they passed, "I am paying attention this time."
She turned to Cupid startled and laughed, "You survived my attack."
"Barely, it was kind of like a hit and run," Cupid flirted.
"Sorry, I didn't want to be late to work," she replied, "Ummmm...."
"Cupid," Cupid replied, before realizing he had not made up a suave fake name like he usually does.
"Cupid?" Both women repeated simultaneously.
He quickly covered, he had made the mistake before decades ago, when he fell for a woman back in the fifties and almost gave it all up, "Yes, my parents were real romantics when they named me."
"I love it," Beth said meaning it, a romantic at heart too.
"Well it sucked during high school," Cupid joked.
"I imagine," the other woman said, before adding, "We need to get going Beth."
Beth seemed a bit disoriented, feeling a tiny connection with Cupid, a small sense of serendipity tingling inside her, "Um, right, ok, it was nice to meet you officially, Cupid."
"You too," Cupid replied, shaking her hand and almost calling her Beth, a name she had not yet given him.
Beth cheeks went slightly red at the brief moment of intimacy, before she let go of his hand and started walking with her unnamed friend.
Cupid watched her go and as hoped, Beth turned around and gave a quick glance back, the ultimate tradition that had lasted for centuries to show an interest or curiosity with someone of the opposite sex after a chance meeting.
Cupid gave a nod, smiled and Beth quickly turned back embarrassed that she was caught.
Cupid thought about turning invisible and following her, but decided not to, instead he went to get a bite to eat. As he ate, he couldn't get Beth out of his mind. She seemed so genuinely sweet, unlike the fake personas of so many people of today. Society had become so superficial and Valentine's Day was one of the most superficial days of all. How many men bought their girlfriend or wives presents because they are suppose to and not because they wanted to? How many women caught on to the fact that the gifts were not sincere? Yet, thinking of Beth, Cupid couldn't get past her sweet vulnerability.
Cupid decided to turn invisible and be there when the flowers arrived.
Beth returned to work a few minutes early and instantly got to work. Cupid watched her, knowing it is the small things that really defined a person. For example, starting work the moment you arrived instead of waiting until the very last moment; her voice on the phone with clients always so soft and sincere; the way she looked everyone in the eyes even she spoke to them even though inside she was hurting. Beth was exactly the kind of woman he would want to date if he was a real human.
The flowers arrived a little after two, later than expected but that was ok as it gave Cupid time to just watch the trivial day to day activities of Beth, only confirming his already strong feelings that she was a genuinely good person.
Beth's expression when the flowers first arrived was complete shock. Her ex had never bought her flowers of any kind during their relationship, but if there was ever going to be a day she assumed it would be today. Usually he gave her his adorable puppy dog look when he was in the dog house and Beth always gave in, but he also knew she was a romantic at heart. Her anger at his betrayal began bubbling and she was just about to throw the flowers in the trash when something inside told her to read the note.
Grabbing the envelope, Beth opened it and read the card.
Cupid watched as Beth's face changed from one of inner anger to one of genuine intrigue.
Beth looked around her gaze ended where Cupid was standing; it was as if she was seeing past Cupid's invisibility.
Cupid could feel her looking into him, even though it wasn't possible for her to see him.
The moment lasted only a few seconds before the girl from lunch interrupted the surreal moment of unknown intimacy. "The douche bag sends flowers, are you f-ing kidding me?"
"I don't think they are from him, Cassidy" Beth replied, handing her the card as she tried to figure out who else would send her flowers.
"Wow," Cassidy said, praying this wasn't another manipulation of Jared's. Cassidy was happy Beth finally dumped that loser as Beth deserved someone so much better. She asked, "Do you think it was from that Cupid guy?"
Beth's face flushed as she again looked directly where Cupid was, as she remembered the spark that she felt when they touched hands. "Impossible. He doesn't know my name or where I work," Beth replied, wishing secretly that he was the secret admirer.
Cupid watched in voyeuristic awe at the reaction his flowers had brought. His feelings towards her only increased as he felt feelings inside he had not felt in decades.
"Well whoever it is the man has taste. These are the nicest flowers I have ever seen," Cassidy said, trying to build up her good friend's spirits.

Electoral Systems
The First Past the Post (FPP) electoral system will be used for Tasman District Council elections and by-elections and the Single Transferable Voting (STV) electoral system will be used for the Nelson/Marlborough District Health Board elections.
In the FPP system, electors vote by indicating their preferred candidate(s). The candidate(s) that receives the most votes is declared the winner, regardless of the proportion of votes that candidate(s) received. Further information about the STV system is available on www.stv.govt.nz
Early Processing of Votes
Returned voting documents are able to be opened and processed (but not counted) during all or part of the voting period prior to the close of voting (sec 80 LEA).
This allows completed voting documents to be "processed" right from the time that they are received back from electors. Processing involves the envelopes being opened, the voting document extracted, the votes for each candidate being recorded electronically, and the voting documents being kept in secure storage when not in the course of being processed. Each voting document is processed twice, the second time by a different operator from the first - the purpose of this is to check the accuracy of the first processing. All early processing is carried out in the presence of a Justice of the Peace, who must certify whether or not the whole process has been carried out in compliance with the relevant Acts and Regulations.
