Delivery and cancellation rights, and information about Bookshop UK are set out in these Terms and Conditions.
These conditions shall apply to all Contracts for sale of Goods by Bookshop UK to the Customer to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions including any which the Customer may purport to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or any such similar document.
No variation or addition to these Conditions shall be effective unless agreed in writing by Bookshop UK.
Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by Bookshop UK shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of Bookshop UK and without any prior notification. The views and opinions expressed in any sales literature or on social media sites or on the website of Bookshop UK or other websites are the views of the contributors and should not be taken necessarily as fact or the views of Bookshop UK.
Placing an order and or acceptance of delivery of Goods shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the Customer's acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
All descriptions and illustrations contained within the website or documentation provided or any price list or otherwise communicated to the Customer are intended as guidance only and illustrations and descriptions may vary. Bookshop UK will use its best endeavours to ensure that all descriptions and advice offered are correct, but it is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the requirements and expectations and use of the product in the way intended by the Customer can be satisfied by using the product.
If the description of any Goods which are not directly manufactured by Bookshop UK contained in any correspondence, invoice or the website varies from that of the manufacturer's description, then the manufacturer's description will be deemed to be the correct description and shall take precedence over the description assigned by Bookshop UK.
If the Customer has a specific purpose in mind when purchasing Goods, Bookshop UK will not be liable if the Goods are not reasonably fit for that specific intended purpose. Our liability for fitness for the purpose shall be that the Goods supplied will be fit for the purpose of which such Goods are generally supplied and shall not be any more specific than that.
The responsibility for ensuring that Goods are sufficient and suitable for the Customer's requirements rests with the Customer.
Bookshop UK reserves the right to decline to trade with any person(s), company or any other organisation without issuing any reason. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, Bookshop UK may decline to accept any order, whether or not payment has been received, by giving notice of non-acceptance to the Customer by post, email, facsimile or telephone.

In the case of emails, proof of delivery of an email by a Customer to Bookshop UK will be deemed acceptable upon production of a return email reply sent by Bookshop UK.

Bookshop UK must receive payment of the whole of the price for the Goods that the Customer orders before the order can be accepted, and the contract formed. Payment is not taken until the point of despatch of the Goods to the Customer from the distribution centre. Once payment has been received Bookshop UK will confirm that the order has been received by sending an email to the Customer at the email address provided by the Customer in their registration form. The shipment email will include the Customer's name, the order number and the total price. The acceptance by Bookshop UK of the Customer's order brings into existence a legally binding contract between Bookshop UK and the Customer on these Terms and Conditions. Any term sought to be imposed by the Customer in the order will not form part of the Contract.
Bookshop UK is entitled to withdraw from any Contract in the case of obvious errors or inaccuracies regarding the Goods appearing on the website. If an error or inaccuracy is discovered with regards to the advertised price of the Goods that the Customer has ordered, Bookshop UK will contact the customer as soon as possible by email. This will be to inform the Customer of the correct price of the Goods, and to ask if the Customer wishes to continue with the order at the amended price, or to cancel the order altogether.
If Bookshop UK has insufficient stock to deliver the Goods ordered by the Customer, Bookshop UK will notify the customer as soon as possible and any sum debited by Bookshop UK from the Customer will be re-credited to the Customer and Bookshop UK will notify the Customer by email at the address given by the Customer in the order form. Notwithstanding Clause 8.3 the refund will be made as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of the order. Bookshop UK will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for loss, damages, consequential loss or disappointment suffered.
Bookshop UK endeavours to bring customers the best value possible by running special offers, but please remember stocks are limited at the special offer price, and subject to availability. The Bookshop UK website is updated as quickly as possible to minimise disappointment. The process of updating the website when Goods have sold out at promotional price can take a few hours or days to update.
Multi-buy offers. Promotions apply to listed Goods only, which are subject to change and availability. If the Customer chooses to purchase an item from a multi-buy offer, but does not purchase enough items to qualify for the special discount, the item will be charged at the normal price. Please note that on 3 for 2 promotions (and other multi-buy offers), the lowest priced item will always be the 'free' item.
When you register with the Bookshop UK website, you will be required to choose a contact email address and password. You are responsible for all sessions and transactions taken under these details. You should keep your password safe and not disclose it to anyone. You should change it immediately if you feel it has been compromised.
If any of your details change, such as your debit card or credit card billing address, you must inform Bookshop UK as soon as possible. You may update your details by signing into your account on the Bookshop UK website, and update the relevant section.
Prices of items exclude postage and packing. Costs of postage and packaging are displayed when placing orders. Standard delivery means a delivery method chosen by Bookshop UK which can take 3 – 10 working days. Next day delivery means a delivery method chosen by Bookshop UK which will ensure delivery of the Goods the following working day before 18:00 hours. International delivery can be between 3 – 28 days depending on postal and courier services and the type of delivery chosen by the Customer.
The risk of damage to or loss of Goods ordered from Bookshop UK will pass to the Customer when the Goods are despatched to the Customer from the Bookshop UK distribution centre.
The delivery time is calculated from the date Bookshop UK despatches the Goods and not from the date of order. Delivery will be made as soon as possible after the order is accepted and in any event within 30 days of despatch of the order. All delivery times quoted on the Bookshop UK website are estimates only, based on availability, normal processing and delivery companies.
Bookshop UK will post, or arrange a courier on behalf of the Customer, for the Goods ordered by the Customer for delivery to the person and address given to Bookshop UK at the time the Customer makes the order. For Goods delivered outside of the EU, the consignee (i.e. the person to whom the consignment is sent) will be the declarant and importer into the country for which the consignment is destined. The consignee will be responsible for both customs clearance and payment of customs duties and local taxes where required.
If the Customer is ordering Goods for delivery outside of the EU, please note that the consignment may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the Goods reach the country of destination. Any such charges levied in relation to customs clearance must be borne by the Customer. It is accepted by the Customer that Bookshop UK has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. Bookshop UK recommends that you check with your local customs officials or post office for more information regarding importation taxes/duties that may be applicable to the order and the Goods.
Delivery will be made to the Customer's registered address. Or an alternative address specified during the order process. The Customer shall make the necessary arrangements to take delivery of Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. Bookshop UK shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for failure of the Goods to be delivered.
In the event that a Customer is unable to accept a delivery when such an attempt is made and then the Customer requires re-delivery of Goods from the courier or postal service, then any cost for this re-delivery shall be paid by the Customer.
In the event that a Customer chooses a standard delivery option for delivery of Goods, Bookshop UK reserves the right to deliver the goods by an alternative method at its own expense, including but not limited to tracked delivery, signed delivery, courier delivery, next day delivery, recorded delivery.
The delivery date should be taken as the anticipated date of delivery but it is an estimate only and should not be taken as contractually binding. Whereas Bookshop UK will make reasonable efforts to deliver Goods on the estimated or confirmed delivery date, Bookshop UK will not be liable for late delivery.
Bookshop UK also reserves the right to deliver Goods before or after the estimated or confirmed delivery date and shall not be in breach of Contract should delivery occur before or after the estimated or confirmed delivery date. In any case, Bookshop UK shall attempt to deliver the Goods as soon as possible and in any event shall deliver the Goods to the Customer's delivery address within 30 days after an order is received and accepted.
Bookshop UK shall not be liable to compensate the Customer by way of damages or otherwise for non-delivery or late delivery of the Goods or any part of the Goods or for any loss consequential or otherwise arising from non-delivery or late delivery.
Whilst every reasonable effort shall be made to keep to any estimated or confirmed delivery date, time of delivery shall not be of the essence and Bookshop UK shall not be liable for any losses, consequential losses, costs, damages or expenses incurred by the Customer or any other person(s), company or organisation, arising directly or indirectly, out of any failure to meet any estimated or confirmed delivery date.
The Customer must inspect the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery and shall within seven days of such delivery give notice to Bookshop UK by email of any damage or defect in the Goods.
If the Customer fails to give such notice, the Goods shall be conclusively presumed to be in all respects in accordance with the Contract and free from any damage or defect which would be apparent on reasonable examination, and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods accordingly.
Bookshop UK reserves the right to cancel delivery of any goods where payment by the Customer has not been made in accordance with the Contract and or these Terms and Conditions, or where any security check has proved negative, or where invoice payment has not been agreed in writing prior to the ordering of Goods.
If the Customer is an individual and is not buying Goods on behalf of a business, there are certain circumstances in which the Customer may cancel the Contract and these are set out here in Clause 6.0 and its subsections. This right to cancel does not apply to business buyers.
The Customer may cancel the order for Goods at any time up to the end of the seventh working day after the Customer receives the Goods.
The only circumstance in which the Customer cannot cancel the order is where the Customer has taken the ordered Goods out of the sealed package in which they were delivered.
To cancel the order the Customer must notify Bookshop UK and obtain a RMA number, following the procedure set out in these Terms and Conditions.
If the Customer receives Goods before cancelling the order then, unless the Customer has lost their right to cancel because they have taken the Goods out of their sealed package, the Customer must send the Goods back to Bookshop UK at the Customer's own cost and risk, unless the Goods were supplied faulty. If the Customer cancels the order but Bookshop UK has already processed the Goods for delivery and the Customer receives the Goods, the Customer must not unpack the Goods when they are received and must send the Goods back to Bookshop UK at the Customer's your own cost and risk, following the Returns procedure described in these Terms and Conditions.
Once the Customer has notified Bookshop UK that the Customer is cancelling the order, any sum debited to Bookshop UK from the Customer will be re-credited to the Customer as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of the order date, subject to Clauses 7.0 and 8.0 and their subsections.

The internal documentation contained within the returns package should include proof of purchase, and the returned item must be complete, and in 'as new' condition with original packaging, and any additional items originally supplied with the item(s) (including but not limited to free gifts, accessories, instructions, manuals). The original manufacturer's packaging must not be defaced. Goods, or items therein, not complying with these requirements may be rejected as returns by Bookshop UK.
The Customer will be liable for the cost of remedying any damage to the Goods returned where such damage has, in the opinion of Bookshop UK, been caused by the Goods being inadequately packaged by the Customer or through a fault of the Customer.
The specific return address for returning the Goods will be supplied to the Customer when an RMA number is issued. This specific return address will be the postal address that the Customer needs to return the Goods to.
If a Customer returns Goods to any other postal address, other than the specific return address supplied to the Customer by Bookshop UK, then the Customer will be liable to pay an administration fee.
The Customer must take all reasonable care to ensure that all returned items be suitably packaged, and that the Goods are protected when being returned. The return package should be shipped in a plain outer box with the return address clearly displayed.
When returning Goods they must be returned in the condition and packaging as supplied to the Customer without any damage, omission or otherwise.
The Customer must not remove any labels (including but not limited to Batch Number, Bar Code, Serial Numbers, Security Seals) on the Goods and or on their packaging. If the aforementioned are removed or damaged then Bookshop UK reserves the right to reject the return or invalidate any warranty or claim to refund or damages by the Customer.
Notwithstanding Clause 7.13 Goods must be returned by first class post, or recorded delivery, or special delivery, or equivalent, using Royal Mail, with proof of posting retained for each item returned.
Bookshop UK shall not be held responsible or liable in any way or form whatsoever for failure to receive returns where there is no Proof of Delivery which specifically means documented evidence by Royal Mail (or equivalent professional courier which must be a recognised registered company) of Bookshop UK having received the return package.

For the sake of clarification if the Customer is a company, partnership, sole trader or any other commercial body, school, library or registered charity, then the Customer does not have a right to cancel the Contract under the Distance Selling Act.
The delivery service is contracted-out to third party couriers and is a separate contract that is deemed to have begun and been completed before the end of the seven day cooling-off period.
In the Event of Return of Defective (Faulty) Goods

Defective Goods cannot be returned without obtaining an RMA number from Bookshop UK as described in Clause 7.3
When returning defective item(s) the Customer must provide a written description of the defect(s) when returning the Goods. Please note: prior to despatch all Bookshop UK Goods are inspected to ensure they are intact, not damaged and sold as described.
When returning Goods because there is a fault, only return defective item(s) within the Goods supplied. RMA numbers are issued for specific items only.

When returning defective items please include all internal packaging, protective or otherwise.
When returning defective items, Bookshop UK reserves the right to request simultaneous return of any free items that may have been supplied with the Goods (including but not limited to free gifts, accessories, instructions, manuals).

If the Customer does not notify Bookshop UK accordingly within the aforementioned time period, the Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods and Bookshop UK shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and the Customer shall be bound to pay the price as if the Goods had been delivered in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract.
Where any valid claim in respect of any of the Goods, or items contained therein, which is based on any defect in the quality or conditions of the Goods or their failure to meet specification, is notified to Bookshop UK in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, Bookshop UK shall be entitled to replace the Goods (or any part thereof) free of charge, or at the sole discretion of Bookshop UK refund to the Customer the price paid for the Goods (or a proportionate part of the price paid), but Bookshop UK shall have no further liability to the Customer.
Bookshop UK shall not give any credit for returned Goods where Bookshop UK deems the Goods not to be faulty unless otherwise agreed in writing by Bookshop UK, in which instance Bookshop UK reserves the right to inspect the Goods at the Customer's cost, prior to such a written decision.
In the Event of Cancellation of an Order for Goods:
The Customer can cancel the Contract relating to the order at any time up to the end of seven working days from the day after the date the goods are delivered. The only circumstance in which the Customer cannot cancel the order is where the Customer has taken the ordered Goods out of the sealed package in which they were delivered.
To exercise such a right of cancellation, the Customer must give written notice to Bookshop UK by letter or email giving details of the goods ordered and date the delivery was received. Notification by telephone is not acceptable.
As described in the 'Returns – General Information' section of these Terms and Conditions (Clauses 7.0 - 7.17) Bookshop UK will then issue a RMA number and the Customer will need to return the Goods to the specified return address.
Reasonable care of the goods must be taken if the Customer cancels the order. The Customer must take all reasonable care to ensure that all returned items be suitably packaged, and that the Goods are protected when being returned. When returning Goods they must be returned in the condition and packaging as supplied to the Customer without any damage, omission or otherwise.
When Goods are returned, Bookshop UK reserves the right to request simultaneous return of any free items that may have been supplied with the Goods (including but not limited to free gifts, accessories, instructions, manuals).
The effective date of cancellation is the date on which the notice is received by Bookshop UK by letter or email. Such notice shall have been deemed delivered to Bookshop UK where Proof of Delivery is available, not Proof of Posting or Sending.
The Customer may have a right to refund of any monies paid in respect of the Goods, excluding delivery charges notwithstanding Clause 7.26, including but not limited to the following circumstances:
If the Customer cancels the Contract (and the Goods are within their sealed and unopened package), or the Goods are proven to have been defective at the time of supply and cannot be reasonably repaired or replaced (whether by new, refurbished Goods or otherwise); and
The Customer has notified Bookshop UK in writing within seven working days after the date of delivery giving details of the cancellation or defect; and
The Customer follows the correct procedure specified in ensuring return of the Goods as described in these Terms and Conditions and any further conditions advised to the Customer by Bookshop UK.
Notwithstanding Clause 7.26, and Clause 8.1 and its subsections, after returns are processed, Bookshop UK will refund the Customer for any sum that has been paid by the Customer for the Goods excluding delivery charges. Any such payment shall be made within 30 days of receipt of returns, or within 30 days of receipt of the Customer's payment, which ever is later.
Any refund or monies due to the Customer shall be paid by any method of payment as determined by Bookshop UK, not necessarily the same method of payment utilised by the Customer when placing the order.
The risk in Goods shall pass to the Customer upon delivery of the Goods or upon the Goods being appropriated to the Customer but kept at the premises of Bookshop UK at the Customer's request.
Bookshop UK remains the owner of the Goods affected by the Contract until Bookshop UK has been paid in full cleared funds for such Goods and all other Goods agreed to be sold by Bookshop UK to the Customer for which payment is due.
Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer shall hold the Goods as the fiduciary agent and bailee of Bookshop UK and shall keep the Goods separate from those of the Customer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as the property of Bookshop UK.
If any payment due under these Terms and Conditions is overdue in whole or in part, Bookshop UK may without prejudice to any of its other rights recover and or re-sell the Goods or any of them and may enter on the Customer's premises by its servants or agents to recover the Goods and the Customer shall be liable for all Bookshop UK costs of so doing.
The Customer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of Bookshop UK, but if the Customer does so, all monies owing by the Customer to Bookshop UK shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Bookshop UK) immediately become due and payable.
To the extent permitted by law, Bookshop UK accepts no liability whatsoever or howsoever arising in respect of loss, damage or expense arising from Goods, advice, or errors, whether or not due to Bookshop UK negligence or that of its employees, agents or sub-contractors.
To the extent permitted by law, Bookshop UK shall not be liable to the Customer by reason of any representation, or any implied warranty, condition or other term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms of any Contract with the Customer, for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or loss of earnings or otherwise), costs, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever (whether caused by the negligence of Bookshop UK, its employees or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the Goods or their use or resale by the Customer.
The entire liability of Bookshop UK under or in connection with the Contract with the Customer shall not exceed the price of the Goods except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions.
If the Goods Bookshop UK delivers are not what the Customer ordered or are damaged or defective or the delivery is of an incorrect quantity, Bookshop UK shall have no liability to the Customer unless the Customer notifies Bookshop UK of the problem, by email to Bookshop UK within 7 working days after the date of the delivery of Goods in question.
If the Customer does not receive Goods ordered within 30 days of the date on which they were despatched, Bookshop UK shall have no liability to the Customer unless the Customer notifies Bookshop UK by email of the problem within 35 days of the date on which the Goods were despatched to the Customer.
If the Customer notifies a problem to Bookshop UK under this condition, the only obligation for Bookshop UK will be, at its option, to make good any shortage or non-delivery; to replace or repair any Goods that are damaged or defective; or to issue Bookshop UK website account credit to the value of the refund due.
Bookshop UK will not be liable to the Customer for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem the Customer notifies to Bookshop UK under this condition and Bookshop UK shall have no liability to pay any money to the Customer by way of compensation other than reserving its right to refund the amount paid by the Customer, in any way whatsoever, if Bookshop UK deems this appropriate.
Nothing in this condition is, however, intended to limit any rights the Customer might have as a consumer under applicable local law
Nothing in this contract creates any right which is enforceable by any person who is not a party to the contract.
In the event that the Customer makes any claim, whether for repair, replacement, refund or damages or otherwise, in respect of the Goods and whether arising from these Terms and Conditions or otherwise, the Customer shall be liable to pay to Bookshop UK the amount of any costs, expenses, legal fees and disbursements which Bookshop UK may incur should Bookshop UK have to expend monies in considering or defending any such claim which is not proved to have been correctly made.
In the event that the Customer fails to make payment in accordance with these Terms and Conditions or in any other way is in breach of the Contract with Bookshop UK, the Customer shall be liable to pay to Bookshop UK monetary compensation for any loss or damages, including consequential loss, loss of business and loss of profits, arising from or in connection with the Customer's breach of Contract, to include all losses which actually occur whether foreseeable to the Customer or not, and in addition the Customer shall be liable to pay to Bookshop UK the amount of any costs, expenses, legal fees and disbursements which Bookshop UK may incur should Bookshop UK have to expend monies in bringing any claim against the Customer whether in correspondence, through proceedings, enforcement or otherwise.
Bookshop UK shall have no liability to the Customer for any failure to deliver Goods ordered or any delay in doing so or for any damage or defect to Goods delivered that is caused by any event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control.
Bookshop UK shall not be liable to the Customer or deemed to be in breach of Contract by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any obligations of Bookshop UK in relation to the Goods, provided that the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond reasonable control of Bookshop UK.

Quantified DNA extractions from Ava's samples that I isolated earlier this month, as well as some older samples that I hadn't quantified yet.
Used the Roberts Lab Qubit 3.0 and the Qubit dsDNA BR Kit (broad range). Used 5uL of template for the first and third groups and 1uL of template for the second group (see Results below).
All data was added to the master extraction spreadsheet (Google Sheet): ava_abalone_master_extraction_list

Here we see two funny cars line up on New Jersey's Atco Raceway for what might be the best use of drag racing cars ever devised: a tug-of-war.
After a few restarts, the one that shoots more flames wins. The only thing is that it all took place in 1989. Why isn't this happening all the time?

Montezemolo in Frankfurt: "Investments of two billion over next five years"
The launch of a new Ferrari is always a special event and all the more so when the car is actually called…Speciale! Officially unveiled this afternoon by President Luca di Montezemolo and Managing Director Amedeo Felisa and the Vice President Piero Ferrari, the new special series model was immediately the centre of attention for the media at this the opening day of the International Motor Show.
President Montezemolo also took this opportunity to make an important announcement regarding the future of the company. "In the next five years, we will invest two billion Euros, all self-financed," he said. "The figure does not include investment in Formula 1, the technology and know-how from which is however transferred to the road cars, as was very much the case with the 458 Speciale."
This therefore represents an increase of 600 million Euros over the amount spent in the last five years, which has led to Ferrari's stand at the IAA boasting the most complete range ever seen. "These cars are the actual result of constant investment on the product range," added Montezemolo, who reiterated the decision announced back on 8th May in Maranello to restrict its production numbers. "This year and in 2014, we will produce no more than seven thousand cars, so as not to lose the brand's exclusivity. This strategy has met with complete agreement from the major shareholder, FIAT and its Managing Director, Sergio Marchionne. Maintaining current production numbers will lead to a longer waiting list, which will in fact increase the brand's value. We are enjoying spectacular success in the USA, where we would need much more than two thousand cars to meet demand and things are also going well in Japan, Hong Kong, where we will soon celebrate thirty years in that market, the Emirates and, as for Europe, in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and Finland. Come the end of the year, we will open showrooms in Casablanca in Morocco and then in Baku, Azerbaijan. There are many requests, but we need to apply the brakes because otherwise we run the risk of flooding the market with cars which would undermine their exclusivity. What is dear to my heart is the strength of the brand: Ferrari's value must remain very high."
Nevertheless, there is another challenge to conquer. "However, at the same time we want to increase profits," continued the President. "We will focus a lot on the brand to achieve this, and we expect it to yield an end of year profit of 50 million Euros: today, globally, 95 Ferrari-branded products are sold every minute, thanks to our 60 stores around the world and to e-commerce, which thus puts us close to the big fashion brands."
"Finally and inevitably, it was time to turn to the topic of Formula 1. "There are still a lot of races to go and we must never give up, right to the final kilometre," said Montezemolo. "I think that it will take an enormous effort from everyone, but we must have a competitive car. I have said it before and I say it again: I want to thank the fans, who have shown so much affection and understanding and this must push us to do even more. Maybe it would have been better, if there had been fewer boos for Vettel: congratulations to him and to Red Bull, but to our critics and those with short memories, I would like to remind them that in the past few years, Ferrari has always been at the top."

When I first read Imaginative Sex I certainly assigned the values to it as you've described. However, after re-reading it a few times over the years, and like any form of stimulus from any kind of art (however good, bad or mediocre), the way we respond to it differs over time and so did mine.
There certainly is no Madonna-Whore *complex* here as in his fiction. Unlike the FW and the kajira of Gor, he recognises the two are not mutually exclusive as you stated. In fact there is very little discussed core patterns of emotion and behavior related to either men or women (he clearly recognises indivduality and the immense capacity for variables in both sexes) and consistently uses the word *human being*, not *male* or *female*.
."...in every human being there are certain sadistic elements and certain masochistic elements. They differ in amount and degree among human beings but they exist in all."
"These are games in which the woman, all of her, her mind, her imagination, her body, is fully and necessarily the equal of her male partner. If she is passive, if she does not understand, if she is puzzled, if she does not join fully, the games are impossible. Her ideas, her inventions, her imaginations are as needful and as important as those of the man."
(Note - He does differentiate between passive and submissive)
As Norman obviously has a leaning towards male dominance sexually, the 53 scenarios are of course in the main concerned with that - however, this is only described as fantasy, not something that happens outside of the bedroom as in the Gor environment. It is not a Real Life or, if you prefer, an *Earth* mentality. He is quite clear to convey its simply RP and fantasy. There are no whips and chains, it is pure drama, imagination and pretending. An almost cathartic experience to deal with our subconscious desires. Is it supposed to be an introduction to some kind of RL M/s mentality and way of life? I think not.
The molding of reality, I believe, is an increased intimacy not necessarily related to some kind of natural order (which is a whole other topic). Back in 1974 any kind of BDSM was quite a new concept to the masses - the introduction of the VHS made sexual material much more available to everybody. We now have pensioners clamoring for the latest Mr Grey book. It's no longer the kink it once was. It's mainstream. Having M/s pretend fun games in the bedroom (regardless of which sex is M or s) is routine for people that have never heard of Gor or Norman or Natural Order. It always was there of course, but it's no longer in the closet it once was. People ARE having imaginative sex, and that's a good thing - its not gender-centric , and its regardless of who is dominant or submissive.
In summary, this.
"Life is too short and too precious to waste it living out someone else's values. We must find our own."
Not your Masters, your husbands, your male partners, your Dom.... your own.
(I'll come back to the Telnarian question.. I'm off to RP)

NEW YORK CITY — Former Comptroller Bill Thompson raised more than $1 million over the past six months for his mayoral run, his campaign announced Monday, giving pause to naysayers who have argued his run lacks steam.
The amount, collected between July 12, 2012 and Jan. 11, 2013, represents a huge jump from previous cycles, when Thompson averaged less than half a million dollars in incoming cash.
The move was hailed by his campaign as "a tremendous show of support as the campaign kicks into high gear and charts a course for victory."
"New Yorkers know we need a mayor with the experience, leadership and vision to represent every community in every borough," Thompson said in a statement. "I am honored and encouraged by this strong show of support."
Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf, who said he is not advising Thompson, said surpassing the "magical" $1 million was proof that Thompson had the fire to run a competitive race.
"This ends the argument that Thompson doesn't have the spirit to run a hard-fought and difficult campaign," Sheinkopf said. "This now makes him a player in the game."
Meanwhile, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio reported raising $725,000 — less than what he raised during his previous two filing periods, but still a strong showing, his campaign said.
The total, his campaign manager Bill Hyers said, brings the campaign's total raised (including expected matching funds) to more than $5.3 million — "well on our way to hitting the primary spending limit," Hyers said.
City Comptroller John Liu, meanwhile, reported Sunday that his campaign raised just over half a million dollars during the same period, despite being in the midst of a federal investigation.
Liu collected $522,000 through 2,052 contributions over the past six months, according to the campaign, which threw an elaborate birthday bash last week ahead of the deadline.
"I'm truly touched by the magnitude of support from my fellow New Yorkers, especially from first-time donors to any campaign, and humbly proud of the strong foundation from which I will soon launch my 2013 campaign," Liu said in a statement.
"All systems go, full steam ahead!"
Liu has continued to enjoy fierce loyalty from many of his supporters, despite the allegations that his team broke the law by attempting to skirt fundraising limits.
Jia "Jenny" Hou, Liu's former campaign treasurer, and a key fundraiser, Xing Wu "Oliver" Pan, are set to face trial in Federal District Court in Manhattan on Feb. 4. Liu has not been charged with any wrongdoing.
Nonetheless, the latest sum is less than the $577,000 Liu collected during the previous fundraising period, and far less than the nearly $1 million he raised during the six months before the scandal broke.
He has also been burning through cash. His campaign spent $345,000 over the last six months — or 66 percent of the money raised — leaving him with just over $2 million in the bank, according to the campaign.
It was not immediately clear what the money was spent on, but previous filings have shown large expenditures on legal bills. Full details must be filed with the city's Campaign Finance Board by Tuesday.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who had already raised as much as she was allowed to spend on the primary, also added $457,000 to her campaign coffers over the past six months. She has now raised $6.1 million to date, and has $5.3 million in cash on-hand, her campaign said.
Former City Councilman Sal Albanese, who has also thrown his hat into the race, reported raising $134,216 during his first filing period. He now has more than $123,600 in cash on-hand one week after he formally announced his run for mayor.
"We consider this a successful first week of fundraising as Sal's position in the private sector required him to refrain from any fundraising activity," campaign spokesman Todd Brogan said in a statement Monday.
"Contributions are coming through the door every day from working people across New York City, and we're confident they'll grow exponentially in the weeks ahead."
On the Republican side, George McDonald, the Doe Fund founder who began fundraising in December and formally launched his campaign last week, announced he has raised $277,378 so far from 81 donors.
McDonald2013 ended the period with $155,211 in cash on-hand, after paying expenses, according to his campaign.
And Manhattan Media CEO Tom Allon said Monday that he had raised about $50,000 over the past six months, bringing his total raised to date to about $286,000.
Despite the lackluster total, Allon said he was pleased with the influence he has begun to have over the debate over issues, as well as his growing social media following, which now includes close to 2,000 Twitter followers.
"I'm delighted that I am reaching this many people with ideas for solutions to the challenges New York City faces in the future," he said in a statement.
"The response has been amazing and I look forward to a healthy debate in 2013 on the issues that really matter to New Yorkers."
Other potential candidates also expected to run are former MTA Chairman Joe Lhota, supermarket baron John Catsimatidis and former Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion Jr.

Corn and old crop soybeans were higher on Monday while other CBOT markets closed lower. December corn closed 3 cents higher at $4.52 ½, November soybeans 7 ¾ cents lower at $11.01 ½, and July wheat 1 ¾ cents lower at $5.75 ¼. Old crop soybeans were higher from strong export inspections. Corn was higher with soymeal and some headlines attributed this to cold weather in the US.
The week is starting out with another negative trend in the new crop corn-soybean ratio. Argentine weather improved over the weekend and South America as a whole is looking at a record soybean crop. The USDA is currently projecting the 2013-2014 world soybean stocks/use ratio to be over 25% which could be negative for soybean prices. Combine that with the potential for many U.S. corn acres to switch to soybeans and we could see the shift from tight stocks to abundant levels. Given these factors we believe the November soybean contract looks overpriced to December corn at a ratio of 2.4343 (Nov Beans/Dec Corn=2.4343). We believe the ratio could get back to 2.35 before U.S. planting begins.
Chart: November 2014 Soybeans / December 2014 Corn
What does that mean for you as a corn and soybean producer? If you are planning to switch from corn to soybeans due to the price incentive it may be a good idea to protect that price while it lasts. December corn prices are at or below the cost of production for many producers in the Midwest. We want to protect soybean prices before they do the same. As always you will want determine if that is the right approach for your marketing plan given your insurance and risk tolerance. You can use AgYield to help make that decision with your broker.
We are only a week away from February when the Spring Insurance price starts to average itself. There is still risk of corn falling in this timeframe and the March Short Dated $4.50 puts are cheap enough in our option to provide protection during February. Please call if you would like to learn more about this strategy. Have a great week!

WEST CHESTER – State Senator Andy Dinniman (D-19) was recently named Humane Senator of the Year by the Pennsylvania chapter of the Humane Society for his successful effort to ban animal gas chambers in Pennsylvania.
In 2012, Pennsylvania passed Act 182, banning the use of carbon monoxide chambers at animal shelters, a method considered inhumane for animals and dangerous for shelter personnel.
Senator Dinniman led approval of the bill through meetings with fellow lawmakers and by building public support through events such as his 2011 'Daniel's Law' rally, which attracted more than 400 residents and their pets to the Thorncroft Equestrian Center in Malvern. The bill was named for Daniel, a beagle that survived an Alabama gas chamber, attended the rally with his new family, and remains a living symbol against inhumane forms of euthanasia.
Animal organizations in Chester County joined in applauding the Pennsylvania Humane Society's selection of Dinniman.
'It is very satisfying to see Sen. Dinniman recognized for his work on behalf of our pets in Chester County and the humane treatment of animals statewide,' said Conrad Muhly, president of the Chester County SPCA. 'No one deserves the award more than Senator Dinniman. Not only for his work banning animal gas chambers, but Senator Dinniman consistently supports organizations such as ours and recognizes that our pets are part of our families that deserve to be free from cruel, inhumane treatment.'
Dinniman said while receiving the award is personally satisfying, more work needs to be done on behalf of Pennsylvania's animals and he wants to use the occasion to give attention to two more bills he will soon introduce.
Dinniman wants to make it easier for therapy dogs and their handlers to get to the nursing homes, hospices and even emergency situations where they provide much-needed comfort and companionship to those in need.
He willintroduce a bill to permit therapy dogs and their handlers onto buses, trains and any other forms of public transportation -- a right already provided to seeing-eye dogs and canines that assist people with other physical handicaps.
Dinniman said due to the great benefits therapy dogs provide and their increased use, Pennsylvania's laws should facilitate, not limit, the ability of therapy dogs and their handlers to get to different facilities.
'Federal and state laws have for years correctly given special privileges to guide dogs due to the important role they play especially within the disability community, and these laws have been very positive,' Dinniman said. 'So it's time that we extend the same special privileges to another class of dogs that also help people, even if it's a slightly different population and in a slightly different way.'
Tredyffrin resident Cheryl Bittner has a therapy dog, Tucker, which she has taken to the Coatesville VA Medical Center twice a month for the last five years. Bittner and Tucker also visit Berwyn's Timothy School for children with autism and the Wayne Nursing Center twice a month.
'Allowing therapy dogs on public transportation in Pennsylvania would make it possible for more handlers to take their dogs to visit urban locations,' Bittner said. 'It would expand the opportunities for those in hospitals and hospices, retirement and nursing homes and schools to experience the comfort and love of these very special animals.'
Dinniman said he will also soon reintroduce Senate Bill 968 of last session – legislation that would add a section to Pennsylvania's Animal Cruelty Law to specifically address when the animal cruelty happens in a domestic-violence situation.
'All too often, an estranged spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend will get back at their spouse or partner by hurting or killing their cat, dog or other pet,' Dinniman said.
Currently, if convicted of a first-degree misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty, the minimum monetary fine one faces is $1,000 and the maximum, $10,000. Under Dinniman's legislation, if a person with a protection-from-abuse order against them commits animal cruelty against the pet of their spouse or partner, they would face a minimum monetary fine of $2,000 and a maximum fine of $15,000.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Authorities say a 26-year-old woman was fatally shot in the chest during a robbery in a neighborhood just outside of downtown Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports (http://bit.ly/LERPXf ) that the woman was visiting her boyfriend in the Northern Liberties neighborhood around 10:25 p.m. Sunday when she was approached by two men in a dark car. Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says one of the men shot her in the chest and took her purse.
Police say the woman was pronounced dead at Hahnemann Hospital at 11:15 p.m. Sunday.
Philadelphia Homicide detectives were still at the scene investigating Monday morning, including reviewing surveillance footage from nearby apartment complexes.

I know, there are online shops that offer a more convenient way to search for products, but there are limited or expensive possibilities to try the thing on or to look at it the same day and there are additional efforts required for sending the things back in case I am not satisfied with something. So what I would wish for myself is an easy online service like google search, where I could enter the name of the product I'm looking for, some other details like colour, size and price, and the city. The result should be the list of the stores and their addresses in my city that have this product at the moment, preferably with pictures and concrete offers. Now I can plan my time, go only to these selected stores and look at the products live.
There is a product search from google (http://www.google.com/products), but it doesn't solve my shopping problem. It is a search through some online shops, which I don't need.
The suggestion is organizing a simple web service which offers a product search function. The search should be carried out through the data bases of the existing stores. These could also be online shops to extend the choice but the real stores at the requested geographical point can be more useful.
It would be certainly a big help for those who does shopping in a foreign city or country. Without knowing what shops are located there it will be still possible to find the product they are looking for.
The idea is actually primitive and this kind of search service should be there a long time ago.. But I'm still missing it.

NASCAR has postponed the Daytona 500 because of rain, the first time in the 54-year history of the event that it has been delayed a day.
Heavy rain soaked Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, and NASCAR never had a big enough window to dry the track.
The 500-mile race is scheduled for noon Monday. It will be aired on Fox.
Carl Edwards, runner-up to Tony Stewart in last year's championship race, will start from the pole. Former IndyCar star Danica Patrick will make her Daytona 500 debut.
Bored drivers spent Sunday loitering around the motorhome lot, playing with their children and expressing their frustration with the rain on Twitter.

Beckham's four hits can't slow Royals in finale
White Sox fall short in bid to start season 3-0 for first time since '92
CHICAGO -- Take six solid innings from starter Gavin Floyd, and three scoreless innings from reliever Hector Santiago.
Mix in eight combined times on base from eighth hitter Tyler Flowers and ninth hitter Gordon Beckham, and the White Sox would figure to be in solid shape to finish off a three-game sweep of the Royals on Thursday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field.
Of course, those numbers don't factor in the recent dominance Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie has over the South Siders.
The right-hander allowed one run on five hits in six innings while striking out nine, as the Royals escaped with a 3-1 victory. The White Sox were attempting to start 3-0 for the first time since 1992 and for the 15th time overall.
Guthrie has faced the White Sox five times since joining the Royals -- allowing two earned runs over 35 2/3 combined innings.
"He's pretty good. He moves it around. He's not a one-pitch pitcher," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Guthrie, who threw 61 of his 94 pitches for strikes and walked just one. "He can take different pitches and make it look six different ways. He makes it tough on us."
"They were good today, and Guthrie was good," said Beckham, who matched a career high with his third four-hit game. "He didn't give up a lot of bad strikes. It seems like he made a lot of good pitches. It's not like we missed too many pitches today. I think he was that good."
All of the runs scored in the series finale came in the fifth inning.
Floyd, who was every bit as sharp as Guthrie with two earned runs allowed and five strikeouts over six, started the Royals' rally by issuing a one-out walk to Eric Hosmer. Jeff Francoeur followed with a perfectly-executed hit-and-run single to right, and Jarrod Dyson's groundout scored Hosmer.
Chris Getz picked up his first hit this season and first RBI since Aug. 15, 2012, with a run-scoring single to center and moved to second on Alejandro De Aza's fielding error. It was the White Sox third outfield error in the last two games. Alex Gordon finished the rally with a double to right to bring in Getz.
Even with that one inning, Floyd was satisfied with Thursday's body of work.
"I've been working on a lot of stuff and felt like it came together pretty well today," said Floyd, who exited after 94 pitches. "Tyler called a great game and I tried to execute as many pitches as I can."
"Gavin pitched well enough to get a win today," Ventura said. "You tip your cap to Guthrie for what he did. He didn't give us too many chances."
Flowers scored the lone run off of Guthrie, and the only White Sox run not courtesy of a home run this season, after getting grazed by a two-out pitch. He moved to third on Beckham's single to right, one of three opposite-field singles for the second baseman, and came home on De Aza's single. It was De Aza's first hit of the season, but Guthrie fanned Jeff Keppinger to end the frame.
A one-out walk to Flowers and Beckham's hit-and-run single to right put runners on first and third with one out in the third, but De Aza grounded into an inning-ending double play. The White Sox leadoff man hit into just one double play in 524 at-bats last year.
Singles from Flowers and Beckham off of reliever Aaron Crow with one out in the seventh gave the White Sox another scoring opportunity. But Dyson tracked down De Aza's line shot to right-center as the culmination of a nine-pitch at-bat and Keppinger grounded out.
De Aza, who left six on base, finished off the last rally by grounding out against Greg Holland with Flowers and Beckham on base in the ninth, as Holland preserved the win for Guthrie. For the season, the White Sox are 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position.
It's a combination of good Kansas City pitching and the White Sox timely hitting being a little slow out of the gate.
"That happens every once in a while," said Flowers of his team's RISP issue. "It seemed like we had quality at-bats for most of the day, and tip your cap to Guthrie. He's a quality pitcher."
"I've never had a mastery over any team but, if I do, I'll be sure to let you know," said Guthrie, adding a large portion of his strikeouts came off of sliders. "I never had one, but I've had quite a few that have had a mastery over me."
On the flip side of the Flowers and Beckham success were four swinging strikeouts by Dayan Viciedo and three strikeouts overall from Adam Dunn. Again, it was more about what the Royals pitchers did instead of what the White Sox hitters didn't during the culmination of this opening series win.
"It's definitely not the end of the world," Beckham said. "We feel good about what we're doing. We played a hard game; we just didn't have it today."

During our last installment of Model Hell, ParkRNDL added a photo of a beater-o-riffic 1:25 scale GM F-body in one of his comments. Obviously, talent such as this must be shared with all!
Naturally, I pleaded with ParkRNDL to send in some photos of his other Model Hell projects, and he has been kind enough to oblige. The Good Humor Chevy Beauville alone stuffs an M80 into my lone contribution to the Model Hell pantheon and lights the fuse, but that's just how the Hell That Is Models works.
Then we've got ParkRNDL's faithful replica of his real-world Nova.
Yes, 6" leaf-spring shackles from JC Whitney, rust, and everything!

Audi came out swinging with its diesel technology at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show Wednesday, introducing four new diesel models for the U.S. market.
But the company didn't limit its scope to new products. It also pressed the case that wider use of diesel engines could have far-reaching geopolitical consequences.
Opening the news conference for the debut of the A6, A7, A8 and Q5, Audi of America President Scott Keogh made clear his company's position.
PHOTOS: Highlights from the 2012 L.A. Auto Show
"For a nation seeking to free itself from the grip of foreign oil and for a world seeking to slash its greenhouse gas emissions, clean diesel is not simply a viable choice, but frequently it's today's best," Keogh said.
Supporting Keogh's point is the A8 TDI, a full-size luxury car that will get an estimated 24 mpg in the city and an impressive 36 mpg on the highway. The 3-liter V-6 diesel engine will produce 240 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, and Audi says it will do 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds. The A8 diesel will go on sale in spring 2013.
The other three models getting the diesel-engine option are the mid-size A6 sedan, its mechanically identical yet more expressively styled A7 four-door coupe and the Q5 crossover SUV. These models will go on sale in fall 2013.
This engine is already in the updated 2013 Q7 TDI, Audi's seven-passenger crossover. In this application, fuel economy is rated at 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
Keogh also made it clear that Audi didn't intend to stop with these four new models and hinted that the company will continue to make an aggressive push with diesels.
"We believe the efficiency gains that diesel offers today aren't a ceiling, they're a floor," Keogh said. "We believe diesel can be even cleaner, even more powerful, even more efficient in the days ahead."

"I believe commercial solutions - whether its Google's cloud or Amazon's web services - may be perfect for many companies. But some corporations and government agencies are not going to be comfortable outsourcing their information and services to the Internet-based cloud," said Jill Tummler Singer, Deputy CIO of the Central Intelligence Agency, on Tuesday, at SYS-CON's 1st Annual GovIT Expo, in the event's opening keynote.
"For agencies like mine," Singer (pictured below) continued, "and for many corporations, keeping such precious gems in our own possession is a foregone conclusion."
Jill Tummler Singer keynoting at 1st Annual GovIT Conference & Expo, Oct. 6
The answer, for the CIA at least, is what Singer calls Enterprise Cloud Computing.
Enterprise Cloud Computing as defined by Singer is behind the firewall and contained within a business enterprise (one company, one agency, or one supply chain, for example).
"A true cloud environment contains many layers and extends beyond the compute platform," she noted. "To gain early advantage in Enterprise Cloud Computing, you need at least a storage cloud and a compute/processing cloud sitting on top of your network cloud. However, this requires each cloud user to bring database, application, web services, and security services with them. You'll achieve goodness in this scenario but you may not actually achieve faster, better, cheaper, and safer overall IT."
"If I look back at CIA's technology strategy for the past few years, we were headed to an Enterprise Cloud all along, even if we didn't call it that," Singer said. Virtualized servers were also a core strategy for CIA, she added.
"I suspect that most medium- and large-organizations have similar technology plans that also dovetail nicely into Enterprise Cloud Computing," said Singer, adding:
"Don't think of the Cloud as a perpendicular technology approach aimed at derailing your current plans. It isn't. Instead, think of the Cloud as an energy booster welded onto the side of your existing plans to get you to your goal state faster through commercial, commodity technologies and approaches.
Enterprise Cloud Computing allows you to cut the ball-and-chain of the past or release the albatross from around your neck. You're no longer stuck with slow, lethargic, antiquated solutions. Enterprise Cloud Computing allows your company to break away, soar, and be successful."

Sixth Circuit Denies Romeike Rehearing,
HSLDA Promises to go to Supreme Court
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike fled from Germany to the United States after their family was vigorously prosecuted (fines, forcible removal of their children, threats of jail and more) for homeschooling. Initially, the Romeikes were granted political asylum, but the U.S. government appealed that decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. That Board sided with the government. HSLDA then appealed to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals—which denied asylum. HSLDA now plans to petition the U.S. Supreme Court.
The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Home School Legal Defense Association's (HSLDA) request for rehearing of the Romeike case last Friday after seemingly showing interest in the case. HSLDA will now submit a petition for review by the Supreme Court of the United States to continue the fight for the Romeike family's asylum.
HSLDA submitted a petition for rehearing en banc on May 28, and the Sixth Circuit asked the Department of Justice to respond on June 12. The petition was then denied on the grounds that the points raised had already been considered during the original hearing.
Fight for Freedom
"This is not over yet," said Michael Farris, founder and chairman of HSLDA. "We are taking this case to the Supreme Court because we firmly believe that this family deserves the freedom that this country was founded on. Despite Friday's order, the Sixth Circuit's opinion contains two clear errors: First, they wholly ignored Germany's proclamation that a central reason for banning homeschooling is to suppress religious minorities. Second, the Sixth Circuit erred when it failed to address the claim that parental rights are so fundamental that no government can deny parents the right to choose an alternative to the public schools."
The Romeike family faces thousands of dollars in fines and possible jail time if they return to Germany. HSLDA contends that this is grounds for a well-founded fear of persecution that would grant them asylum under U.S. law. The Justice Department, however, claims that the Romeikes are being punished under a generally applicable law, and the Sixth Circuit agreed.
Evidence Ignored
"The German High Court is on record for saying that religious homeschoolers should be targeted and severely punished, yet our Justice Department sees nothing wrong with that," Farris said. "The Attorney General and Sixth Circuit are ignoring critical evidence and are trying to send back this family who is trying to stay in our country legally. We are hopeful that the Supreme Court will go the other way and see what the original immigration judge saw: that this family and other religious homeschoolers in Germany are being persecuted for what they believe is the right way to raise their children."
HSLDA has until October 11, 2013, to petition to the Supreme Court, and at the time of this writing, has not yet set a date to submit their brief.
