We like going out shooting pool, darts, bowling ( hey we are no pro we just like to have a good time) we like going out for dinner (nothing fansy) we have been to a swingers club and enjoyed it, we also enjoy staying at home and watching movies-have a good time at home. We are not picky people when it comes to looks, if there is a vibe between us all hey whats stoping us from having a good time. We are looking for a female to join us in the bedroom. Someone that wouldn't mind being pleasured by both me and my man and wouldn't mind pleasuring both of us. Someone that doesn't mind giving oral sex to the both of us and wouldn't mind recieving oral from the both of us, I enjoy watching my man have sex with another women, So if you think you would like to join us leave a message
success-story : I began searching and I found the perfect male/female couple that was looking for the same things I was, and they were new to swinging also. Being the skeptical one anyway, I decided to send them a message expressing my interest. That tonight I rec'd an email back from them and the same weekend we introduced ourselves. This service has me smilin again!

Horny Lesbian search funI'm (not interested/interested) in exploring sex with another man unless is in a group and a women must be present. I'm looking for someone who can be discreet because i am in a relationship even though i need something on the side, i love her. I do consider myself kinky and i am willing to try anything once as long as its safe. The only taboo I have in the bedroom is you must be clean and smelling good. As far as I'm concerned, the best place to have sex is any where, i am spontanious. Extramarital affairs add excitement to a relationship that no longer has regular excitement. One sexual fantasy I've always had is having a swingers party that last from Friday to Friday.

Unwittingly revealing your junk to the world is awful, but then having to go through a mandatory psychiatric evaluation because of it, only adds to the humiliation. That's what happened to Chris Cooley.
In an interview with Extra Mustard's Jimmy Traina, Cooley relives the incident and the wacky policiy the NFL enforced after it happened:
Cooley: But the NFL made me undergo a psychiatric evaluation. They treated it really seriously. Please. It was an accident. If I wanted to post a picture of my penis I wouldn't have been all hunched over.
SI.com: What was the result of the psychiatric evaluation?
Cooley: I don't even know, dude. I had to do a call with some lady. I thought it was gonna take two minutes, but it was like an hour. It was horrible.
Remarkably, somewhere the NFL has a transcript of the hour-long conversation between a female psychiatrist and Cooley discussing why he posted his penis on-line. What were they looking to find out? If he's prone to exposing himself? My guess is that Cooley was subjected to this type of probing evaluation all because of Charles Haley.

Microsoft is trying to make it faster for people to download Windows updates by using the vast network of PCs around the world to deliver them.
A new beta build of Windows 10 released on Wednesday enables Delivery Optimization by default, which lets PCs download update bits from other computers connected to the internet. Those bits can be delivered alongside those brought in from Microsoft's servers, to help speed up the process of downloading updates, especially on less reliable network connections.
The feature works similarly to the BitTorrent file distribution system. Update files get split into chunks, and then Windows 10 will download each chunk from the device that can deliver it the fastest. Microsoft first introduced the feature with the major Windows 10 update last November, but it only allowed people to download updates from computers on a local network or from Microsoft's servers.
Users who want to turn off Delivery Optimization can go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options and then click on "Choose how updates are delivered." Once there, they can disable their computer's ability to download updates from multiple computers, or just limit it to download only from other devices on its local network.
IT administrators will be able to control these settings through Group Policies or device management software. It's also possible for administrators to expand the definition of their company's local network beyond the LAN in a single building, allowing computers in one office to download update bits from those in another office.
Using the system could be a boon to people who have a large number of computers on the same network, whether that's at home or at work. Microsoft has seen a 30 to 50 percent reduction in internet bandwidth usage to keep multiple PCs on the same network up to date, Dona Sarkar, the face of the Windows Insider Program, said in a blog post.
Right now, the feature is only available to members of the Windows Insider Program's Fast ring, but the system will likely roll out to PCs on the Slow ring of the Windows 10 beta soon. It won't make its way to consumers until much later, as part of a larger update.

Fieldwork is one of the richest research methods in the Social Sciences. Originally, the preserve of anthropologists, notably Bronislaw Malinowski, it has now achieved a much wider relevance. This four volume set provides the most systematic guide to the method.
Volume 1 addresses the Origins and Definitions of Fieldwork and includes sections on the meaning of Fieldwork, Fieldwork and Theory, Early Fieldwork, Fieldwork and Fieldworkers.
Volume 2 concentrates on the Fieldwork Experience and covers the History of Fieldwork, Sampling in the Field, Observing in the Field, Field Talk (Interviews and Conversations), Documents and the Field, Visual Methods and Fieldwork and Reflecting On Fieldwork Experience.
Volume 3 focuses on Ethics and Politics in Fieldwork and includes sections on The Relevance of Politics and Ethics, Taking Sides, Sensitive and Stressful Situations, Dilemmas and Responsibilities.
Volume 4 addresses the Analysis, Outcomes and Reflections of Fieldwork and includes sections on Analyzing Fieldwork, Fieldwork and the Author, Representing Fieldwork, Autoethnography and Writing Method and Leaving The Field.
The collection is a superb addition to the series, providing readers with a comprehensive and indispensable critical guide to Fieldwork.

Drop In & Decorate
I am sure many of you have already started your cookie baking season. If not at least you've looked up or started to collect a few recipes that you would like to bake this year. Am I right?
If you are in full cookie baking swing I'd like to bring to your attention a wonderful cause started by the lovely Lydia over at The Perfect Pantry.
It all started a few years ago when Lydia and a few of her friends got together to bake cookies.
It seemed like they had baked a few too many and decided to call their local shelter to ask them what they thought about receiving a package of wonderfully baked and decorated cookies. You can guess - they were extremely pleased. These cookies had brightened up many peoples day.
Ever since then it has become somewhat of a tradition. Each year Lydia and friends get together and have a cookie baking and decorating party. Each cookie is carefully wrapped and then donated to a shelter. Imagine the smiles all around!
Lydia calls it Drop In & Decorate. It's simply a wonderful idea. Call up a few friends, bake a few cookies and then donate them to your nearest shelter. Then watch how this small gesture puts a sunny smile on someones face.
Lydia has also put together a helpful guide, which will show you how to host your own Drop In & Decorate party. This year she's even got King Arthur flour to sell a perfect Drop In & Decorate party kit.
So, if you are already in cookie baking fever why not have a party and help others. Drop on over to Lydia's blog and check out how you can host your own Drop In & Decorate party.

Clockwork - K'nex Ball Machine, Status Update
I apologize for the 7 month delay in posting, but I am happy to report that construction on my latest ball machine (now officially titled Clockwork) is continuing as planned. School and lack of pieces have both caused some delays, but recent generous donations and eBay purchases have got me back on track for a late summer completion date.
Clockwork will be in every aspect my largest construction project to date. It will contain between 35,000 and 40,000 pieces, it will have over 300 feet of track, it will have approximately 20 long, twisting, fast-paced tracks with support for 30 balls at once. It will have at least 4 lifts, and at least 7 motors. Its central element, a computer controlled gantry crane which spans my entire room, is capable of carrying 5 balls at once, can automatically correct mechanical errors, and can randomly select paths in which to drop them.

K'nex Ball Machine Gets a Wheel Lift
I have completed a working prototype of my first Ferris Wheel style K'nex ball lift. The lift measures slightly over four feet in diameter (a far cry from my last K'nex Ferris Wheel), which was the largest I could make it and still have it fit within the space provided. I still have lots of ideas for new lifts and paths, whether or not they end up constructed depends on how much time I have between my classes, and how many Arduinos I can spare for this project.

Automated K'nex Ball Machine Prototype 3
I have a fully automated working prototype of the overhead crane completed. It is fairly slow, but it will only be one mechanism of many. I am currently in the process of building a ferris wheel lift, which, though common in many ball machines seen on Youtube, will be a first for me.

New K'nex Ball Machine in Progress
I am about a week into the construction of my newest and most complex ball machine, which is currently unnamed. The machine centers around a massive two-axis overhead gantry which covers my entire room. When finished, the gantry will be able to automatically detect when a ball has been loaded into it, then deposit it in one of several tracks by the use of a random number generator. This video is the first test of bi-directional motor control in this machine. I will post a new video when I have a test of ball loading and depositing completed.

Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission - Finished
This is the finished model of my earlier Automatic CVT prototype. It contains 31 gears and roughly 2,500 pieces. The mechanical design has remained unchanged since the prototype, but numerous structural enhancements have been made to allow for operation at much higher speeds and torques. I plan to post a video of the transmission soon.

text: The former co-owner of Illinois networking vendor Global Networking Technologies was sentenced Tuesday to serve one year and one day in prison for his participation in a conspiracy to defraud a U.S. government program delivering Internet service to schools and libraries in poor areas.Tyrone Pipkin, who gave bribes and kickbacks to school officials in four states, was also sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana to pay a US$6,000 fine for conspiring to defraud the E-Rate program, the U.S. Department of Justice said.Pipkin, who acted on his own behalf and on behalf of Computer Training Associates and Global Networking Technologies, participated in the conspiracy from December 2001 to September 2005, the DOJ said in a press release. Pipken participated in a conspiracy to provide bribes and kickbacks to school employees responsible for the procurement of Internet services at schools in Arkansas, Florida, Illinois and Louisiana, the DOJ said.The school employees gave control of the E-Rate competitive bidding process to Pipkin and his co-conspirators, allowing them to ensure E-Rate contracts at these schools were awarded to their companies, the DOJ said.The DOJ's ongoing investigation into fraud and anticompetitive conduct in the E-Rate program has resulted in seven companies and 24 people either pleading guilty, being convicted or entering into civil settlements. The companies and people have been sentenced to pay fines and restitution of more than $40 million.Seventeen people, including Pipkin, have been sentenced to serve prison time. Earlier this month, Barrett White, Pipkin's co-conspirator, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for his role in the conspiracy, and Gloria Harper, a second conspirator, pleaded guilty to the conspiracy.The E-Rate program was created by Congress in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Co., under the oversight of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. The program provides subsidies to economically disadvantaged schools and libraries, paying 20 to 90 percent of the cost for Internet access and telecommunications services, as well as internal computer and communications networks.

If you're a woman, you don't need to be reminded that Sunday night is the Oscars. That's because, in a bit of vaguely—or downright obscene—sexism, Hollywood's biggest night has been branded as the Super Bowl for Women. Because we live in a cultural stereotype and only men watch sports, only women are cultured, Mars, Venus, etc.
Since the media love branding coverage with oversimplified, if not offensive, shorthand, we thought we'd jump in and assign the lazy construction to other demographics. Super Bowl for Babies, anyone?
The Super Bowl for Gay People
The lazy among us would say the Tony Awards because—tee hee—gays love musical theater and Patti LuPone and jazz hands and UGH. But let's be real. The Super Bowl for Gay People is the Super Bowl. Or, as it's been more accurately described, the Beyoncé concert. First, B performed "Single Ladies" with Destiny's Child, which, enough said. Then Calvin Klein aired a two-minute commercial featuring an Adonis flexing in underwear. And have you seen Joe Flacco?
The Super Bowl for Fashionistas
Fashion Week. Also any time Michelle Obama gets a haircut.
The Super Bowl for Old People
So many options. The Masters golf tournament? The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? The World Figure Skating Championships? Fortunately for old people, the Super Bowl happens once a week: NCIS, airing Tuesdays on CBS.
The Super Bowl for Tweens
Justin Bieber's 3-D concert movie was a solid blockbuster performer. But it doesn't compare to the deafening chorus of squeals that erupted when this happened.
The Super Bowl for Politicos
Election night, obviously, but every four years is hardly frequent enough to warrant Super Bowl status. So we're lucky to have Donald Trump, who accuses President Obama of not being American on a monthly basis.
The Super Bowl for Babies
Nap time!
The Super Bowl for Hipsters
There actually is an annual Hipster Olympiade, which ostensibly would be their Super Bowl. Events include a skinny jeans tug of war, bubble-tea drinking, and vinyl spinning. Also one time Bon Iver performed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at the Music Hall, which serves PBR on draft—essentially peak hipster.
The Super Bowl for Nerds
This is a tough one. Is it Comic Con, the World Chess Championship, the annual Dungeons and Dragons playoffs, or Tolkien Reading Day? So many stereotypes to choose from for this one.
The Super Bowl for Animal Lovers
The Puppy Bowl would be a good obvious choice, with the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show as a close second. But you know animal lovers live for that commercial where Sarah MacLachlan sings while three-legged puppies shed a single tear.
The Super Bowl for Parents
Back to school. "It's the most wonderful time of the year…"
The Super Bowl for '30 Rock' Fans
The Super Bowl for New Yorkers
Please, New Yorkers don't get excited about anything.

Live Updates: Day 2 of Gay Marriage at the Supreme Court
Refresh here throughout the day for color from inside and outside the Supreme Court as justices hear arguments on gay marriage.
All times are E.T.
Today is the second day of arguments at the Supreme Court over gay marriage. The justices will consider the second separate case.
Yesterday, the Justices considered whether the California gay marriage ban enacted by Proposition 8 is constitutional.
Read what went on both inside and outside the courtroom from yesterday's live updates here.
Today, lawmakers will hear arguments about the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which was passed with broad bipartisan support in 1996 and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. DOMA defines marriage as between one man and a woman and denies federal benefits to same-sex couples who are legally married in their states.
But as states begin to OK gay marriage - nine currently allow it - same-sex married couples will expect the same federal benefits that straight couples get.
1:13 p.m. - Goldman Sachs CEO: 'Equality is Just Good Business'
We noted earlier today that brands were coming out for marriage equality across the web.
Now ABC's Jilian Fama has the scoop on why companies would spend the time and money to take a stand on this particular political issue:
According to the Harvard Business Review, this type of advertising is a profitable business strategy for these companies. It boosts employee recruitment and retention and meets marketplace demands.
Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, said "America's corporations learned long ago that equality is just good business and it's the right thing to do" when he announced his support for marriage equality in a Human Rights Campaign public service announcement earlier this year.
But support for the cause does alienate some people as well. Last year, a boycott was launched by the National Organization for Marriage when Starbucks announced its support for Washington's state's referendum backing gay marriage.
And recently a shareholder of the coffee giant complained to CEO Howard Schultz that the company had lost customers because of its support for gay marriage.

12:49 p.m. - SCOTUSBLOG Predicts DOMA Won't Last
The well-respected Supreme Court publication SCOTUSBLOG, which had reporters inside the court for arguments, offered a quick prediction for how the court will rule on the law that makes marriage in the United States limited to heterosexual couples.
Final update: #scotus 80% likely to strike down #doma. J Kennedy suggests it violates states' rights; 4 other Justices see as gay rights.
— SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) March 27, 2013
We won't know if the blog was correct to give such good chances to the DOMA opposition until the court hands down their ruling in June.

12:43 p.m. - DOMA Ruling Could Mean Green Cards for Gay Immigrants
As the highest court in the land considers gay marriage, immigration seems to have taken a backseat in the political landscape - at least for a day or two - but Fusion's Emily DeRuy explains how the two issues are connected:
The issue of whether the federal government's definition of marriage should expand to include gay couples that's currently making its way through the U.S. Supreme Court is particularly poignant for immigrant couples like Santiago Ortiz and Pablo Garcia. The ruling could mean a lifetime together or the constant fear of separation.
Ortiz, a Puerto Rican-American who was born in New York, and Garcia, a Venezuelan native, fell in love a quarter century ago and married in Connecticut in May 2011. The couple wanted to live together, especially since Ortiz is HIV-positive and they were unsure how long he might have. So Garcia got a six-month tourist visa in the late 1980s and was able to renew it for one year.
But the federal government doesn't recognize the two men as relatives, meaning Garcia cannot get a green card as Ortiz's husband. Unable to renew the visa again and ineligible for a green card, the couple made the decision to have Garcia stay in the country without papers, and he has lived that way for more than 20 years.

12:00 p.m. - DOMA Plaintiff to Lead NYC Pride Parade
NYC Pride announced last night that the plaintiff in the case against the Defense of Marriage Act, Edith Windsor, has been selected to lead the gay pride parade in New York City this year.
Windsor will march along side Harry Belafonte and Earl Fowlkes as Grand Marshals for the 44th annual LGBT parade.
Managing Director of NYC Pride Chris Frederick called the leaders "great waves in a sea of hope."

ABC's Sunlen Miller reports:
Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., is the latest senator to announce that she now supports gay marriage.
"Marriage equality is a complex issue with strong feelings on both sides, and I have a great deal of respect for varying opinions on the issue," Hagan wrote on her Facebook page this morning, "After much thought and prayer, I have come to my own personal conclusion that we shouldn't tell people who they can love or who they can marry."
To note, Hagan faces a tough reelection campaign next year, widely seen as one of a handful of races that pose the best opportunity for Republicans to pick up a seat.
Read Hagan's Facebook announcement here.
Hagan brings the list of Democratic senators who have announced support for gay marriage in the past week up to six.
Senators Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., Mark Begich, D-Alaska , Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Mark Warner, D-Va. and Jon Tester, D-Mont., have spoken out in support of doing away with DOMA since Sunday.
10:55 a.m. - Nancy Pelosi: Why I support gay marriage
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi published an op-ed today urging the Supreme Court Justices to rule Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
The Congresswoman from California starts out telling the story of Edith Windsor, the woman behind the case against DOMA, and goes on to say that she plans to hear the arguments today with two of her constituents.
"The only national leaders still standing on the wrong side of history are House Republicans, who have used taxpayer dollars to pay outside counsel to defend discrimination," Pelosi writes. "The Republican-approved lawyers have lost in every case and appealed each ruling. So the fight goes on."
Pelosi's Republican counterpart, House Speaker John Boehner said last week that he will rely on the judges to decide about the laws' constitutionality.
"In our system of government, the administration doesn't get to decide what's constitutional. The Supreme Court does," Boehner, R-Ohio, said. "Our financing the lawsuit was to make sure that the proper forum was used to make sure that we know what's constitutional and what isn't."
10:45 a.m. - New Jersey Politicians for Gay Marriage
Sen. Frank Lautenberg changed his avatar on Twitter to show support for same-sex marriage.
All legal marriages deserve federal recognition & the benefits that come with it. #DOMA must go! #SCOTUS #UnitedforMarriage
— Frank R. Lautenberg (@FrankLautenberg) March 27, 2013
Newark Mayor Cory Booker also changed his avatar and tweeted back at followers who had condemned his decision.
"God's law" has been used 2 subjugate women, blacks & even justify slavery. RT @ yung_boss Is the law of the land more sacred over God's law?
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) March 27, 2013
New Jersey is not one of the nine states where gay marriage is legal. In February of 2012 Republican Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a bill that would have legalized it.
10:39 a.m. - Pro-Gay Rights Crowd Trumps Marriage Equality Protesters
ABC's Matthew Larotonda reports from outside the Supreme Court:
The plaza in front of the Court is nearly as packed as it was yesterday, albeit at lower density. Overflow is starting to form across the street in front of the Capitol. Once again gay rights demonstrators dwarf their opposition. A handful of traditional marriage conservatives can be found among the crowd, which numbers at least a thousand.
Marcos Dominguez-German is one of those in the majority and was one of the first demonstrators to appear early in the morning.
Dominguez-German became a U.S. citizen after seeking asylum for "persecution" of his homosexuality in his native Brazil. He is legally married in Massachusetts.
"If I didn't have that asylum and just married my husband I wouldn't be able to stay here," he said. "I wouldn't be able to stay here because the federal government doesn't recognize same sex marriages."
Clutching his two small dogs and a gay pride flag, he said the government's failure to recognize all gay married couples amounted to "taxation without representation."
There is yet a third faction here, separated by a noticeable air gap: About a half dozen members of the Westboro Baptist Church.
"America is doomed" says one of their signs, and "God hates fags."
But not far off from their corner is another man holding a tote bag with a peculiar text emblazoned on the side: "God hates bags," it reads.
9:41 a.m. - Rob Reiner: Meathead could help get Archie Bunker to back gay marriage
9:14 a.m. - Inside the Supreme Court Today
ABC's Ariane de Vogue reports:
There will be opinions released at 10 a.m. and arguments will follow soon after. Arguments will be one hour and 50 minutes. Transcripts and audio will be released around noon.
At issue: Does a federal law that denies benefits to same sex couples who are legally married in their state violate the Constitution? When 83-year-old Edie Windsor's wife died, Windsor sought a refund of federal estate taxes that is available to married couples. She was denied under DOMA which defines marriage as between one man and one woman.
The fact that the case reached the Supreme Court reflects years of strategy on behalf of major gay rights groups. Initially, they didn't support the Prop 8 challenge because they felt the Justices might be more receptive to the DOMA case. It allows the Court to take a more gradual step on a divisive issue.

9:00 a.m. - Westboro Baptist Church Protests Hearing
ABC's Matthew Larotonda and John Parkinson report the Westboro Baptist Church has more protesters out at today's hearing than they did yesterday.
Yesterday pro-marriage equality protesters countered the Church's group with their own signs and music, dancing right alongside the Westboro picketers.

8:13 a.m. - Brands Come Out for Marriage Equality
Individual Facebook users weren't the only ones posting the red equal-sign to show their support for same-sex marriage. Yesterday Bud Light posted a photo on their Facebook feed, forming the equal-sign on a red background with two cans of their beer.
ABC's Jilian Fama will report throughout the day about what other brands are picking sides in these court cases. If you see some to include, tweet them to @ABCPolitics.
7:15 a.m. - What's That Red Equal-Sign on Facebook All About?
ABC's Dan Milano reports:
They're popping up on Facebook news feeds around the nation, but without much explanation. Just what are those red equal-sign Facebook profile pictures all about? Look no further than the Human Rights Campaign, an organization in support of gay marriage that is running a particularly successful social media initiative as the Supreme Court discusses the issue over the next two days.
In a Facebook post yesterday, the HRC asked gay marriage supporters to "paint the town red," wearing red in their wardrobe as well on their Facebook pages, changing profile photos over to the HRC "=" logo. The idea has even caught the eyes of Congress, with 13 members showcasing the symbol, according to Ryan Beckwith.
7:11 a.m. - Meet the People with the Most at Stake
The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in two landmark cases concerning gay marriage this week. Justices will consider the legal merit and standing of challenges to California's Proposition 8 law banning gay marriage and to the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defines marriage as being between one man and one woman.
With lawyers and justices taking the stage now, it's easy to forget that everyday people have a stake in this fight.
Read the stories of some of the people who hope the court will decide in their favor here.
ABC's Chris Good and Ariane de Vogue explain what today's case is all about:
Since 1996, the federal government has defined marriage as between a man and a woman.
That could change if proponents of gay marriage succeed before the Supreme Court.
For the second straight day, the nation's highest court will hear arguments in a high-profile case on gay marriage, one of the hottest social issues in America.
Today, they will hear arguments in a challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law signed by President Bill Clinton that defined marriage as heterosexual and denied federal benefits to gay couples, who are legally married in their state.
Between the two cases, the Supreme Court could issue a landmark ruling on gay marriage by the end of June.
The DOMA challenge was brought by Edie Windsor, an 83-year-old woman from New York who married Thea Clara Spyer in 2007. After Spyer's death in 2009, Windsor was denied an exemption of federal estate taxes.
Read more on DOMA from Good and de Vogue here.

Back to school seldom involves hunger-striking but that's what the start of the school year in Hong Kong looks like this autumn. For months the controversy over the introduction of national education on the curriculum has been raging on the streets of the city.
From a 90,000 strong protest in July to sit-ins and rallies to the hunger-striking teenagers outside government headquarters, Hong Kong-ers are, to say the least, unhappy about what they perceive to be brainwashing by the powers in Beijing. The teens may have had to stop their hunger strike because of health concerns but in their place veteran protesters who held the barricades during the days of labour unrest at the end of the 1960s have gallantly stepped in to take over their desperate plea.
It's the thought of Hong Kong's malleable young being taught pro-China propaganda that is making people so angry. The guidelines handed out to teachers that go by the title The China Model, include praise for the Communist Party while they conveniently forget to mention events such as the Tiananmen Square massacre.
But besides the threat to Hong Kong-ers rights to independent and critical learning, the issues at stake looms larger. The new chief executive CY Leung who took office this summer was unpopular before the election and his ratings keep plummeting. Seen as a closet communist and staunchly pro-China, Hong Kong-ers haven't warmed to the CE. They see him as a pawn handpicked by Beijing and someone who won't stand up to the Central government's encroachment on Hong Kong's civic life and political affairs.
So far, he refuses to back down on the national education issue, leaving Hong Kong in an unhealthy stalemate. The city's leaders are stuck between pleasing their constituents (though they need not worry too much about them considering that universal suffrage doesn't exist here) and the Chinese government.
A stable economic entity for years, Hong Kong is portraying a different side of itself, a side that says "no thanks" to the erosion of the freedoms. It's finally saying "no" to the top-down approach of government, which is the only style of government Hong Kong has ever known. Installing a Beijing puppet to lead is one thing but to drag Hong Kong's children into the machinery of propaganda is simply too much for the citizens of Hong Kong to stomach.
The next steps are unclear so long as the local government refuses to budge. What is certain is that back to school in Hong Kong will be a very different affair than what it has ever been.

What's the Likelihood that Calvinists are Wrong?
Out of this discussion Calvindude said: That we recognize something happens according to the will of God does not in any manner mitigate against the responsibility of those involved in the action. And on the face of it, it is most certainly not illogical to hold to this:
1. Those who murder are guilty and ought to be punished.
2. God ordains that John murder Bill.
3. John is guilty of murder and ought to be punished.
God's ordination of these events does not alter the responsibility of the actors involved. Whether you agree or disagree with this is, at this point, irrelevant. It is only a matter of simple logic here.
There is indeed a problem here, depending on what you mean by the words "ordain" and "ordination."
If we understand these words to mean that God caused John to kill Bill in the sense that: 1) God made John desire to kill Bill (that is, there was nothing John could possibly do to resist the God-implanted desire to kill Bill), and 2) God made John kill Bill (that is, there was nothing John could possibly do to resist this God who decreed that John should kill Bill). Then God killed Bill.
How in the world is it possible to blame John for killing Bill? Under these circumstances John is blameless. If I forced John to kill Bill (that is, if I had the means and the power to do this) then I would be guilty of killing Bill. No reasonable court would think otherwise, providing there is evidence I did this. There is no dual causation here. God decrees both man's desires and his actions, and man cannot resist.
So how in the world is it remotely possible that John can be blamed in any way shape or form for killing Bill, even though he wanted to kill Bill? Yes, he wanted to kill Bill, and he executed the evil deed. But God "caused" him to want to kill Bill in the first place, and God "caused" him to actually do the deed! To understand this in any other way is to participate in what I call Logical Gerrymandering. God is to be blamed for all of the evils in human history, period.
This Calvinistic God is not a God of love at all, by our moral standards. But it's claimed God has transcendental standards, and we cannot presume to judge God. What possible standards could God have for claiming he's a God of love with all of the suffering he "causes" in our world? His ways are mysterious, we're told. He is the potter, we are the clay, we're told. But few of his actions makes any sense coming from a purported God of love. And yet we're told to believe, in spite of these difficulties, even though whether we believe or not is also decreed by God. We are a painting, created by God, we're told. He puts us in our place to make a beautiful painting. In his painting he needs dark ink that serves to highlight to bright ink. Who are we to judge what he's doing with the painting?, we're asked.
But on this side of death we are trying to figure out whether we should believe and worship such a God. And from this side of death he isn't a God we can respect or love at all. There are people who spend their whole lives in prison because God decreed that they should murder someone, and then God also decreed that they should be convicted of the crime. But that's not all. When they die God then sends these prisoners to hell to suffer forever because he decreed this too. Who punishes God for this? I could go on and on here about the pain and suffering God has inflicted on us as "his loving creatures," especially the whole notion that God decrees billions of our mothers, siblings, spouses, children and friends to spend eternity in hell in a conscious torment for what they've done (which God also decreed). How this gives glory to God is utterly nonsensical. It utterly shames him, because it's obvious he could've likewise "ordained" that all of his creatures obeyed him and will be in heaven for eternity. But having people suffer forever in hell purportedly brings him more glory. There's only one word I can think of to describe this: BULLSHIT!
To answer that God can do whatever he wants to because he created us, merely says God has the power to do whatever he wants. He is a bully and will have his way with us regardless. He doesn't love us. He's just making a painting, or a jar of clay. We are just pawns.
According to Clark Pinnock, "One need not wonder why people becomes atheists when faced with such a theology. A God like that has a great deal for which to answer." [Predestination and Free Will , ed Basinger, (IVP, 1986, p. 58).
Given the nature of this horrible Calvinistic God, and the fact that Christians disagree over almost every doctrine of theirs, what is the likelihood that the Calvinistic God actually exists versus the possibility that their exegesis of the Bible is faulty? To me it's obvious.
Of course, I go further and deny the Bible too, but one step at a time....baby steps.

Fujitsu has developed smartglasses that project imagery directly onto the user's retina with a laser, instead of using small LCD screens like other wearables.
The prototype, being shown off at a Fujitsu technology expo in Tokyo this week, can be linked to a mobile device or a camera mounted on the glasses.
When linked to a smartphone, for instance, users can see webpages or other online information right on their retina. When linked to the camera, they can see what's directly in front of them.
The camera feed, from a small image sensor in the middle of the glasses, can be useful for people with vision loss, blurry vision, or other vision defects. While the glasses are being developed as a vision aid, the technology could open up new approaches to connected eyewear.
A laser projector is embedded in the left arm of the glasses and shines harmless RGB laser light onto two small angled mirrors. The light then traverses the eye lens and hits the retina. There is no need to focus the image.
In a demo of the glasses at the tech expo, the experience was a bit like trying Google Glass, with a rectangle of projected images of flowers appearing in the left eye. If the glasses and mirrors aren't positioned properly, however, the images can be hard to see. The glasses are also rather bulky but there are plans to refine the design.
The basic idea of projecting imagery onto a retina via laser has been around for decades, but miniaturizing the optics to realize a wearable form factor had been difficult until recently. Fujitsu and partner companies were able to produce a small mirror to project light into the eye.
"By using these glasses, people with low vision will be able to read books, newspapers, bulletin boards, timetables and walk around outside," said Mitsuru Sugawara, CEO of QD Laser, a Fujitsu spinoff based in Kawasaki that helped develop the glasses.
The glasses are wired to a control box about the size of a telephone directory, but the box will be shrunk to the size of a smartphone in the coming months, and the glasses will be made wireless in about three years, Sugawara said.
QD Laser plans to commercialize the glasses by March 2016, priced around US$2,000. They will be initially be targeted at users with poor vision, and made available in Japan, Europe and the U.S.

On my Amazon list there's a Gorgeous Fabrics gift certificate and a rotary blade sharpener (yes bias strips are insanely easy to cut with them) since I usually can't be bothered to change my blade.ReplyDelete
Hmm, a subscription to the Italian sewing magazine Patrones would be an amazing (and pricey) gift! (One could also ask for a trip to the Eternal City to buy the magazine in person, thus making a mere subscription seem like a bargain.)ReplyDelete
For those of us who have difficulty finding time to sew, a wonderful present is uninterrupted time -- you go hermit away with your sewing machine, honey, and I'll keep the world away!
Amen Pattern Junkie! All I want is some kid-free sewing time.ReplyDelete
I am always happy when someone renews my Burda World of Fashion subscription for me!ReplyDelete
Last year I received a Rowenta Ironing board with all the bells and whistles. And the small steam mini iron which is perfect for armholes and sleeves. What does it say about me that I was thrilled receiving an ironing board for Christmas?ReplyDelete
Oh the Threads back issues on disc would be an invaluable resource! I also want kid-free sewing time, and a Burda WOF subscription wouldn't go astray either! :DReplyDelete
Oh and some $$ to go hit the LA fabric district!

I would love a trip to a fashion-famous city. The fabric store options in Milwaukee are pathetic. Every time I catch Peter Gunn say, "We're going to Mood" I just start drooling and convulsing. Gads, even if I could go to a store like that just to FONDLE the fabric it would be a treat.ReplyDelete
I would love gift cards for fabric stores, all would probably have to be for online retailers as there are few in my area. Would love a trip to the garment district with a stop on the way at that great store mentioned by the Slapdash Sewist where she got all that cheap fabric in Philadelphia.ReplyDelete
You know, most anything sewing related would be just fine!!!!
Great post Gertie - I think I'm going 'accidentally' leave this in the printer, hahaReplyDelete
I adore mood so expensive though, so if anyone is reading listen to Gertie and get me a gift card to mood please. Lovely post!!!!!!!ReplyDelete

Letssee... I want "Taking the Math Out of Making Patchwork Quilts" by Bonnie Leman and Judy MartinReplyDelete
I started quilting when my sister and sister-in-law got pregnant at the same time and the babies needed quilts. And it seems that as soon as I finish a quilt, someone is having a baby, or I need a present to give away, so I have another project on my hands. That book would simplify my life. I kinda like quilting. I hate math, though, and a large part of planning the quilt is math.
A digital camera. I want to take pictures of things when I finish them, and since film and places to develop it are becoming scarce, I need to go digital.
A new olfa rotary cutting mat. My brother tossed his full book bag on mine, and it's now broken. It's got some cracks in one side. I have a sinking feeling that the next time I run my rotary cutter over it, the breaks will get worse.
Access to an indigo dye vat. I took a class a few years ago at the local college on dyeing fabric. Fell in love with indigo and I want to dye more. Sadly, it's not something that's easy to do at home...
I want the new Bunka four-volume guide to dressmaking (as seen on Miss Celie's Pants blog, for example). A subscription to Patrones -- Spanish, though, not Italian. A serger. A fold-up cutting table. If you don't have a steam generating iron (I do) you should wish for one. The Threads DVD archive, check. And more, I'm sure.ReplyDelete
My husband gave me a trip to Paris for Christmas and we leave in a month. I'll be sure to hit some Paris fabric stores and get my sewing machine a welcome home present. It's been sick and maybe it will be here when I get back.ReplyDelete

[246 U.S. 439, 440] Mr. Edwin W. Lawrence, of Rutland, Vt., for plaintiff in error.
[246 U.S. 439, 441] Mr. Marvelle C. Webber, of Rutland, Vt., for defendant in error. [246 U.S. 439, 442]
Mr. Justice DAY delivered the opinion of the Court.
This suit was brought by Piper against the Boston & Maine Railroad to recover damages for loss occasioned by delay in delivering cattle as a result of the company's negligence. The plaintiff recovered damages and the judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Vermont. 90 Vt. 176, 97 Atl. 508.
The plaintiff shipped the cattle upon paying the reduced rate for shipment thereof under the Uniform Live Stock Agreement containing, among other things, the following:
The tariffs in effect at the time the shipment moved [246 U.S. 439, 443] provided for a rate of $42 when the Uniform Live Stock Agreement was signed and that:
The company's tariffs were duly filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission and contained a copy of the Uniform Live Stock Contract as above set forth.
Interstate shipments of the character here in contr versy made upon bills of lading, and under tariffs filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission, have been the subject of frequent consideration in this court. The binding character of the stipulations of the bill of lading and of the rates as fixed in the filed tariffs, have been recognized and enforced. St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Ry. Co. v. Starbird, Adm'r, 243 U.S. 592 , 37 Sup. Ct. 462, and previous cases in this court therein cited.
The Carmack Amendment (Comp. St. 1916, 8604a, 8604aa) requires the initial carrier to issue a bill of lading, and carriers are obliged to carry the articles shipped at the rates fixed in the published tariffs. Many decisions of this court have held that the carrier may offer to the shipper and the shipper may be bound by a contract which limits recovery to a valuation declared by the shipper in consideration of the reduced rate for the carriage of the freight. This rule was stated in an early case arising after the passage of the Carmack Amendment. Adams Express Co. v. Croninger, 226 U.S. 491, 509 , 510 S., 33 Sup. Ct. 148, 44 L. R. A. (N. S.) 257, and has been frequently reiterated since.
In the cases in which the recovery for the lesser valu- [246 U.S. 439, 444] ation has been affirmed, the shipper was offered an opportunity to recover a greater sum than the declared value upon paying a higher rate to the carrier. The shipper was offered alternative recoveries based upon different valuations upon the payment of different rates, and was held bound by the one chosen. Such contracts of shipment this court has held not to be in contravention of the settled principles of the common law preventing a carrier from contracting against liability for losses resulting from its own negligence, and are lawful limitations upon the amount of recovery binding upon the shipper upon principles of estoppel. Hart v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 112 U.S. 331 , 5 Sup. Ct. 151, followed and approved since the passage of the Carmack Amendment in Adams Express Co. v. Croninger, 226 U.S. 491 , 33 Sup. Ct. 148, 44 L. R. A. (N. S.) 257, supra, and see Wells Fargo & Co. v. Neiman-Marcus Co., 227 U.S. 469 , 33 Sup. Ct. 267; Kansas Southern R. Co. v. Carl, 227 U.S. 657 , 33 Sup. Ct. 391; Chicago, R. I. & Pacific R. Co. v. Cramer, 232 U.S. 490 , 34 Sup. Ct. 383; Boston & Maine R. Co. v. Hooker, 233 U.S. 97 , 34 Sup. Ct. 526, L. R. A. 1915B, 450, Ann. Cas. 1915D, 593; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. Co. v. Robinson, 233 U.S. 173 , 34 Sup. Ct. 556. Furthermore it has been held that a low valuation will not prevent the application of the rule making the agreement binding upon the shipper. Pierce Co. v. Wells Fargo & Co., 236 U.S. 278, 285 , 35 S. Sup. Ct. 351.
While the rule of the lesser recovery based upon lesser rates, when the shipper has been given the option of higher recovery upon paying a higher rate has been held binding upon the shipper so long as the published tariff remains in force, this court has not held a bill of lading containing a limitation against liability for loss caused by the carrier's negligence, such as is here involved, to be conclusive of the shipper's right to recover. In the previous decisions of this court upon the subject it has been said that the limited valuation for which a recovery may be had does not permit the carrier to defeat recovery because of losses arising from its own negligence but serves [246 U.S. 439, 445] to fix the amount of recovery upon an agreed valuation made in consideration of the lower rate stipulated to be paid for the service.
In the bill of lading, now under consideration, there is an express agreement limiting liability from unusual delay and detention, caused by the carrier's negligence, to the amount actually expended by the shipper in the purchase of food and water for his stock while so detained. This stipulation contravenes the principle that the carrier may not exon rate itself from losses negligently caused by it, and is not within the principle of limiting liability to an agreed valuation which has been made the basis of a reduced freight rate. Such stipulations as are here involved are not legal limitations upon the amount of recovery, but are in effect attempts to limit the carrier's liability for negligence by a contract which leaves practically no recovery for damages resulting from such negligence. While this provision was in the bill of lading, the form of which was filed with the railroad company's tariffs with the Interstate Commerce Commission, it gains nothing from that fact. The legal conditions and limitations in the carrier's bill of lading duly filed with the Commission are binding until changed by that body (Kansas Southern Ry. v. Carl, 227 U.S. 639, 654 , 33 S. Sup. Ct. 391); but not so of conditions and limitations which are, as is this one, illegal, and consequently void.
We find no error in the judgment of the Supreme Court of Vermont, and the same is

Since its beginning, Chapman has been involved with camera movement, working under the careful supervision of the Director, Director of Photography, Key and Dolly Grips, to create moments of fear, impact, loneliness, confusion and many other emotions, utilizing camera movement to enhance the scene. Chapman / Leonard is continuing to develop new and improved ways to move the camera. Combining old techniques with new, it is our goal to accommodate the creative process and obtain the image the Director and Director of Photography want to preserve on film.
We look forward to many new projects in the future and will continue our tradition of providing quality, time-saving equipment.
