Just in time for Valentine's Day, I have the pleasure of introducing ya'll to some of my more pervy correspondents and their gift giving quandaries. Nowadays, everyone wants to say "I Love You," but they want to do it with an EDGE. Thanks to the treasure-trove that is My Stockroom, I'm able to bring you yet another installment of my ever so popular — Sex Toy Awareness feature
Name: Monroe
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Location: Michigan
My wife is gonna get a gang bang for Valentine's Day. Shes like a total sex freak. I want to get something to bump it up. We tried a blindfold in the past, but it kept slipping down or up when things got heavy. I was thinking about a hood but what kind should I get?
Ahhh, sweet love! Nothing says "Be Mine" like an old-fashioned gangbang. I have to congratulate you, Monroe; you win the best non-traditional Valentine's Day date award for this year. When other couples are basking in the intimacy of their love for one another, you guys will be sharing the wealth. You go, kids.
I feel your pain about the blindfold slippin' and slidin' in all that athletic sex. I mean, how's a chick to concentrate on all that cock when an ill-fitting blindfold distracts her attention. That simply won't do!
I concur with your estimation of the situation; a hood would be so much better suited to the goings-on you have planned. And you're right; there are so many styles to choose from. Of course, one would want the thing to be as comfortable as it is durable for those marathon sessions. But I would think it also needs to be easy to clean. You know how careless some of those gangbangers can be with their spooge.
That's why I'm delighted to turn you on to this stylish little number — The Spandex Hood with Blindfold and Mouth Hole (J419). This lightweight, non-abrasive, smooth black spandex hood is a simple, elegant bondage accessory that comes with a built-in, padded blindfold and reinforced opening for the mouth. This makes it oh so flexible for a range of intimate play.
It's easy to maintain too. The hood is resistant to body oils, perspiration, jizz and lotions, and can be washed by hand with gentle soap. Bonus points: the spandex will not catch or pull hair coming on or off (for that, you're on your own).

My girlfriend and I are discovering our kinky side. We're both very ticklish and we've been playing with that pain/pleasure edge in some of our sensory play. We're looking to move beyond our homemade sex toys (mostly kitchen gadgets and hair brushes). I want to get her something for Valentine's Day. I can't go hole hog like I would like, cuz I'm still in college and my budget is real tight. Suggestions?
I absolutely love it…"Hole hog"! Were you making a pun, or was that the most delicious typo ever? Either way, darlin, I got to tell you; I'm gonna steal this and use it later on.
To your vexing gift giving concern, I think I may have just the thing for you and the GF. For less than the price of a dozen long stem roses (that will only wilt and fade), you could have this handy (no pun intended) device — The KinkLab Vampire Gloves (KL512).
These soft, sexy leather gloves have a fierce side: prickly metal points on the fingertips. They create an intense ticklish sensation. They're great for sensory play. And if you also employ a blindfold and some sweet, sweet bondage…well you can have yourself a ball.
These gloves are designed to help you realize your own vision of how passionate, creative, and pervy your private erotic life can be.

My new lady friend is so sweet. She indulges my nylon stocking fetish. (My ex-wife would have none of it.) Sometimes she will make dinner in nothing more than an apron and my beloved stockings or vacuum the carpet in stockings and high heels and nothing else. It is so hot I get excited just thinking about it. I want to show her my gratitude and get her something nice for VD. I want to get her something sexy to go with her stockings. Unfortunately we're here in ND and there's nothing like that around here. Can you help doc?
I'm gonna guess that you mean Valentine's Day when you write — VD. Otherwise I don't know what the fuck!
Listen up, you old dog; you have this whole gift-giving thing backwards. You say you want to reward your new lady friend for her forbearance of your stockings kink. That's mighty generous of you. But then you go on to say that you want to get her something that will only enhance your fetish pleasure. This reminds me of the guy who went out and bought his wife a pair of waders (in his size) to reward her for letting him go fishing all the time. You men are all alike!
Ok, on the off chance that your lady friend actually likes the stockings thing almost as much as you, I have this for you both — A Black Leather Garter Belt (B483).
This garter belt is made from soft, high-quality, black garment leather. The seams at the front and sides will accentuate the lady's contours, while the soft, adjustable, black elastic at the clasp on the back and at the legs allows for a snug and sexy fit.
It's also super sexy, and very comfortable to wear.

I'm super jealous of my best gay pal who has a penis pump. We were smokin some herb the other night and he showed it to me. I thought holy shit why don't they make something like that for chicks?
And you wonder why they call that stuff DOPE!
Girl, simmer down there; don't be gettin your skanties in a twist. Lookie here, it's a — Vagina Cylinder (C012). The perfect Valentine's Day gift for yourself.
The Vagina Cylinder is made of industrial grade clear cast acrylic, just like the male counterpart. The airlock release valve at the end of each cylinder will connect directly to the pump. The device is designed to create extra sensitivity in your pussy lips, don't cha know. The 2″ deep cup is 3″ wide and 4″ long.
The cylinder fits completely over your gash, and when a Brass Hand Pump is attached and used, it creates a vacuum, causing your sweet lips to swell and tingle. See, now you and your gay pal can pump till your hearts are content.
PS: Dr Dick discourages pumping while stoned!

I like to fuck mens and women too. I can go for hours and never get tired. But sometimes my legs hurt after. How do I stop this?
Ya gotta love an equal-opportunity fucker! And one that can go for hours…why, that's almost too good to be true. But you're right, pal, all that muscle strain keeping your partners' toes pointin' to Jesus, can really cramp…literally…your style.
But wait, there may be a quick fix. Check out this sweet puppy — The Deluxe Portable Leather Thigh Sling (J414). Now your bottom can do most of the work keepin' his or her legs out of harms way.
This Premium Leather Sling is perfect for traveling, or for places that cannot handle a full sling or suspension system.
Simply slide the padded neck brace behind your bottom's neck, and slip his/her thighs through the adjustable padded loops. The sling cradles the neck and keeps his/her legs open wide for lusty accessibility.
Made of heavy duty leather, this sling will hold up to rough play and extended wear. It has two D-rings at the back of the neck brace to attach wrist restraints for more bondage control. The leg straps each have adjustable steel buckles, and the padded neck and thigh braces are made of softer garment leather with a foam core. Fabulous, huh?

My husband and I were in San Francisco for a professional conference in September. It just so happened that the Folsom Street Fair was happening that same weekend. We walked down to see the sites. We were completely blown away. My husband is very handsome and keeps himself in very good shape. All the gays down here all think he's hot.
Anyhow, Jim, my husband took a keen interest in all the leather wear. I thought I would surprise him with one of those things that go on the chest. I'm not sure what they're called. Nor do I know to get the right size. Do you have any useful information?
Yes, my dear, I have plenty of useful information. I'm sure you meant that in a nice way.
So you got an eye-full, at the Folsom Street Fair, huh? I'll bet! For those in my audience who don't know what the FSF is, it's the culmination of San Francisco's Leather Pride Week. And there ain't nothin' like it no place else, don't cha know.
So before I move on to your query, I have to ask. What does your sizzlin'-hot hubby do down there in the lone star state that he is the object of so much admiration by the gays?
Ok, that leather thing that goes on a dude's chest? I think you're referring to a harness. If I'm right, this should do the trick, so to speak — A Studded Full Frontal Harness (C489)
This here is a brand new take on a great fetish classic — the chest harness. It can be combined stylishly with boots, gloves, a mask, or any other fetish fashion. It is also simply striking and sexy on its own. This will surely show off hubby's attributes at a party, a club or the local PTA meeting. It well also great for a hot and heavy scene with you at the old homestead.
Black leather 11⁄2″ straps, with alternating silver metal studs, will adjust to fit his chest with chrome snaps which connect to two sets of dual chrome O-Rings. A chrome cock ring is also included with this harness. The harness is strong, sturdy, and oh so masculine.
The 11⁄2" genuine black leather torso-cock strap with alternating silver metal studs, matches the harness perfectly, and can fasten to the front O-ring and to the chrome cock ring, or any cock ring he chooses, for an arousing and secure fit.
You will find a key to buying the appropriate size right there in My Stockroom.
Good luck ya'll

NASA says 150-foot asteroid to blow by Earth, real close
NASA announced today that an asteroid 150-feet in diameter will pass close, but safely, by the Earth on Feb. 15.
"Since regular sky surveys began in the 1990s, astronomers have never seen an object so big come so close to our planet," NASA said.
The small near-Earth asteroid – 2012 DA14 – will pass so close that it will pass inside the ring of geosynchronous weather and communications satellites.
"NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office can accurately predict the asteroid's path with the observations obtained, and it is therefore known that there is no chance that the asteroid might be on a collision course with Earth," the agency said in a press release.
"Nevertheless," it wrote, "the flyby will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to study a near-Earth object up close."
Yeah, real close – check out the graphics above to see just how close.
The agency will hold a teleconference on Thursday to talk more about the asteroid's flyby.

Conveyor Dishwasher
Conveyor dishwashers are a huge timesaver in busy operations that need to clean dozens or hundreds of racks' worth of wares in an hour. These dishwashers carry wares through a series of wash stages: the rinse cycle, wash cycle, and the sanitation cycle. They're built with one, two, or three tanks to accomplish those cycles. The more tanks a machine has, the quicker and more efficiently the machine can clean, but the more water and electricity it will require.

Since some people may be missing The Atheist Experience this week, I'm posting the video from a recent ACA Lecture Series lecture.
Fred Edwords from the United Coalition of Reason on "Sailing the Rising Tide of Reason".
Over the past few years, with the rise of the "New Atheism," interest in Freethought and humanism is growing. And the more recent billboard and bus campaigns have stoked the fires of enthusiasm. How can Freethought and humanist groups benefit from this secular "coming out"? How can they capture this interest to help their memberships grow? Fred Edwords, a former executive director of the American Humanist Association, is now the national director of the United Coalition of Reason. Over his thirty-year career as a humanist leader he has lectured, debated, and taught on humanist philosophical issues and effective outreach techniques. He has appeared on national and local television in the United States and Canada, has been interviewed on radio and for newspapers around the world, and has lectured in North America, Europe, and India.

Kraft Coin Envelopes to Keep Small Items Contained
Keep your collection of tiny items under control with Kraft coin envelopes sized just right for loose change and small accessories. The sturdy natural-hued Kraft paper holds up well to everyday wear and tear, protecting the contents from dust, debris and damage. Store a compact box of coin envelopes in a locked drawer or cash box for instant access, or stock up with bulk packs of 500 to 1,000 envelopes for frequent use.
Sort Your Small Change
Whether it's leftover coins from the company petty cash collection or split-up tips you're doling out to event staff, dealing with small amounts of money can be a challenge. Simplify the way you sort and hand out change with Kraft coin envelopes that can fit a handful of coins, or choose a longer coin envelope to accommodate a small stack of dollar bills. These sturdy and opaque envelopes also work for giving out gift cards without revealing the type or amount before the recipient looks inside.
Keep Fittings and Accessories Organized
Separate small electronic parts, jewelry fittings or hardware connectors into individual Kraft coin envelopes to keep all of your must-have accessories organized. Moisture-activated and peel-and-stick adhesive seals keep everything inside these envelopes secure until you're ready to use them.
Customize for a Better Customer Experience
Print the recipient's name or your company information on the front of each Kraft coin envelope using your company laser or inkjet printer. Then pack it with handmade jewelry, extra rental home apartment keys or heirloom seeds and pass it along to clients, customers or collaborators. The thick Kraft paper can handle hand-written instructions or notes made in pen or marker without any worry of bleed-through.

They will make sure everyone knows what they are doing on the day of the move and the schedule will be well worked out to include packing materials and any other requests that need to be met. Your items should be boxed and packed by this point, but if not we can provide a packing service for an extra fee in 34697 to suit your moving needs.
We always provide our clients with a full relocation checklist well prior to moving which will help you track and plan the move. This can help in many ways because it provides you with a sense that everything has been completed prior to the move. The checklist will go over thing like.
- Did I reroute my mail to the new address?
- Are my kids fully registered in their new school?
- Did I get all the boxes and packing material I needed?
- Have I got an animal sitter to help while the move is going on?
- Have I got a baby sitter to help while the move is going on?
- Is my cable and internet appointment installing date set?
- Have I notified my utility companies I am moving?
- Have I gone through every inch of the house including the garage and attic to make sure I have removed everything and nothing is left?
These are just a few of the things that will be on our checklist and what we suggest is you grab a highlighter and cross off each one in a methodical way until you have completed the check list. Because once the new tenants are in and if you forgot you stashed money under the floor boards or somewhere in the attic you can say good bye to it. This tends to happen more often than not and we have heard these types of horror stories where a client has stashed a few gold bars or silver coins somewhere and the new owners have came back and said we looked and we don't know what you are talking about. Not everyone is honest in life and if you get someone saying there is no gold or silver there is nothing you can do about it, and by law once you are out you are out of luck. It's your word against theirs, so please don't be a victim of forgetfulness because it can be the worst feeling in the world feeling robbed by some simple oversight.
So the moral of the story here is if you are moving in the 34697 area then count on us to help you with your next move because we will have you covered. From everything to great prices, a full checklist to also a follow up call to make sure you are settled in to your new residence and a reminder to check for any valuables you might have hidden in the house.

The nascent Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is getting a boost this week thanks to some new initiatives being kicked off by the W3C, the web's governing body.
The W3C recently created a working group to build a WOFF into a web standard, and that group will be holding its first face-to-face meeting at the TypeCon 2010 conference taking place this week in Los Angeles.
Representatives from the major browser vendors, several font foundries and web services providers will be in attendance. Also, a dozen or so select individuals will be participating in a series of presentations and panel discussions about WOFF throughout the conference. All the design industry folks in attendance will get a peek at the future of high-quality typography on the web. There are scores of topics on the program, but this year, WOFF is getting top billing.
Things are looking up for web fonts in general. Monday, Typekit announced a partnership with Adobe to include the company's fonts as part of its licensing service. Last month, Google launched a new tool (tied to its Font API) that makes it dead easy to include any of its open source fonts in website designs.
The Web Fonts working group was formed earlier this year at the W3C, and the group has already released the first working draft of the specification that will eventually lead to WOFF becoming a recommended web standard.
WOFF works just like OpenType and TrueType – you use the
@font-face CSS property to drop the fonts in – but the font data is compressed, so the files download faster, and you can include more fonts in your designs without worrying as much about payload bloat.
The W3C adds this bit: "The WOFF format is not expected to replace other formats such as TrueType/OpenType/Open Font Format or SVG fonts, but provides an alternative solution for use cases where these formats may be less performant, or where licensing considerations make their use less acceptable."
Support for WOFF is already strong – Google, Mozilla, Apple, Opera and Microsoft browsers either ship with or are building support, and the fast-moving foundries are releasing WOFF fonts – so why is the W3C's involvement a big deal when the open source format is enjoying such success?
Standardization by the W3C is the best path to true interoperability. It will keep all the parties on the same page when it comes to things like accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, internationalization and search engine indexing. How much metadata to include and how it is handled are also big issues. Plus, fonts have taken an astonishingly long time to arrive on the web because of red tape around licensing, and a collaborative process for developing licensing infrastructures will go a long way toward convincing some of the more conservative type designers to make web-friendly versions of their creations.
The standard will take years to complete (the process is very slow – we're guessing 2012 or so), and until then, we'll see designers, developers and innovative service providers like Typekit and Google continue to feed the interest in fancy web fonts. Those not on the bleeding edge may be stuck in the boring world of "web safe" fonts for a while, but at least the future is bright.
TypeCon 2010 runs from August 17 through 20.

Farewell Jan Wijnen
By: Jan Wijnen
After more than 42 years, I concluded my career at ELECTROMACH on March 31. In April this year I celebrated my 65th birthday and I officially retired.
With pleasure I look back on my career at ELECTROMACH, which started in 1967 as a Junior Sales Engineer and also as ELECTROMACH's first employee. In 1983 I joined the board of directors and 10 years later, in 1993, I promoted to General Director. In 1998 the shares of ELECTROMACH were sold to the R.STAHL AG by Hans Roerink.
The Ex-poster, a useful tool!
Are you familiar with the classifications that apply to explosion proof products covered by the ATEX Directive? This becomes quite difficult if you consider the new Equipment Protection Level (EPL's), Exn Zone 2 protection methods and methodologies for non-electrical equipment (such as mechanical and optical equipment).
The ATEX Directive remains a challenging subject. Therefore Electromach published a new Ex-poster covering key issues about electric and non-electrical equipment for use in a hazardous area.
The poster also easily explains the classifications and presents all protection methods that exist, the zones, the gas groups, temperature ranges and EPL's.
A useful tool for all your equipment in the hazardous area!
CMP certificate for ELECTROMACH and STAHL sales force
The sales force of Electromach and STAHL NV received from the European Sales Manager, Kathleen Kearns, of CMP Products, a certificate for completing the course for installation of Exd flameproof cable glands. We are happy to announce that our sales force is now officially entitled to give installation training.
At the CMP Products factory in Cramlington (Northumberland UK) our sales team was specialized in installing flameproof cable glands, particularly the types PX2K/PXSS2K.
Mounting flameproof cable glands has to be performed precisely and it requires some time. The compound in the cable gland has to be properly cured before the cable gland can be connected.
STAHL 'Ex' event in Antwerp, April 15
By: Omer Decock (STAHL N.V.)
On April 15, STAHL N.V.'s event, the STAHL 'Ex' dag, was held at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Antwerp. Present among the numerous guests present were engineering agencies, end users, manufacturers and installers. As usual, the event consisted of an exhibition of explosion proof products, solutions and presentations by various guest speakers.
Wout Moelard, chairman of the Dutch Standardization Commission NEC 31, gave a general lecture on the development of standards.
Participants in the standards committees determine how and how fast a standard evolves. Whether it relates to explosion proof equipment or anything else. The greater the pressure from the industry, the quicker a standard can be deployed following new trends. This is presuming that the industry is represented in the standards committee. That is rather a problem in Belgium.
Economic signal in hazardous areas
In addition to tried-and-tested models with halogen and xenon flash lamps, R. STAHL's 6162 line of signal beacons now also includes energy-saving LED-based continuous beacons and rotating beacons. With little self-heating, these new models are suitable for use in Ex zones 1, 2, 21, and 22. They fulfill the requirements of temperature class T6 and surface temperature for dust explosions protection T80 °C, and come with an integrated "increased safety" wiring space. Thanks to innovative, bright LED technology with a power consumption of merely 60-200 mA, the maintenance-free lamps reach a lifetime of 50,000 hours.
Succes Story
Explosion proof control panel for a steam turbine located in a hazardous environment (outdoors), Zone 2
Exp solution
An Exp solution was chosen due to the required instruments such as a Woodward turbine control. Due to the size of the system, the Exp solution was preferred. In this case, the Exp solution had more advantages than an Exd solution.
The control panel meets the requirement for a zone 2 environment and is ATEX certified Zone 2 (Exp IIA, T3).
The control panel consists of a sheet steel cabinet with a fluorescent lighting fixture mounted on the roof. The panel is equipped with various instruments, such as vibration and temperature monitoring equipment, the turbine speed control system, turbine overspeed protection system, digital indicators, pilot lights, switches and pushbuttons.
Additional ATEX audits are to be expected
The regulation body has announced it will increase labor inspections in 2010 at companies dealing in hazardous environments. The stated European objective is to reduce the occupational accidents with 25% by 2012. This plan has been forwarded to the second house of the parliament by Minister Donner of Social Affairs.

BURLINGTON – The Kaneland girls volleyball team carved out big leads in three straight games against Burlington Central but only was able to hang on to one of them, as the Rockets sent the Knights home shaking their heads about the ones that got away.
Central rallied from eight-point deficits in both the first and third games Tuesday in the Rockets' 25-22, 13-25, 26-24 thriller in the meeting of the nonconference rivals.
Veteran Rockets coach Marv Leavitt has seen his share of odd matches, enough to understand momentum in high school volleyball is no joke.
"I know this game is a game of momentum and it's a game of runs so I know you can come back from that," Leavitt said. "You just try to focus your girls on the next point and just not try to catch up in one play the seven points that you're down. Just get back to the basics. Pass well, serve well, and then eventually you're going to get back in the game."
The end of Game 3 came down to the power of Kaneland's Ellie Dunn against the craftiness of Central's Lauren Wiltsie, and on this night, finesse prevailed, perhaps aided by a bit of luck.
With the score tied 23-all, Wiltsie – with her back to the net – bumped over a defensive-minded shot that found an unattended spot to give the Rockets a 24-23 edge.
"I didn't expect to get a kill – I just hoped, and got it over," Wiltsie said. "Just maybe a short, little pass just to get it in play, keep it in play. I'm so happy I was able to get a kill. It changed the momentum of the game."
Dunn – who pounded kills for Kaneland's 22nd, 23rd and 24th points – tied the match 24-all, but Wiltsie then feathered a crosscourt set-kill that landed in Kaneland's front row to give the Rockets (2-0) the lead for good at 25-24. One Kaneland hitting error later, and the Rockets secured the improbable win.
Wiltsie, a junior, is a three-year varsity player. She led Central with nine kills.
"She's just a creative player," Leavitt said. "She understands the game. She finds the open spots, no matter what it is, whether she has to hit hard or just tip the ball, it doesn't matter. We've been holding her out in the back row because she's had some knee problems, trying to rest her a little bit, but we needed her today to play all the way around."
First-year Kaneland coach Kerri McCastland said, despite the squandered leads, the Knights (3-2) are demonstrating early-season progress.
"It's hard to teach your team how to be out of system, and those balls at the end were just all out of system," McCastland said. "Whoever was there, was there and whoever wasn't, wasn't.
"They're going to have to know each other better. My team is very young. They've been together nine days with a head coach that was there one day before the dead period [in the offseason]. Give them a minute."
Kaneland led 14-6 in the third game when, just as she did in the first game, Rockets libero Allie O'Reilly (26 digs) helped lead her team back at the service line, drawing Central to within 14-12 on an ace.
A Wiltsie kill later made it 22-21 Central, and she wasn't through with the crowd-pleasing drama.
"Where most teams would break down, we stay together and push through it and compete," Wiltsie said. "I'm really glad. I'm proud of my team."
Central trailed, 13-5, in Game 1 before O'Reilly's serving slashed the Knights' lead to one point. One of Dunn's match-high 12 kills temporarily stemmed the tide.
Junior Maddy Barry had 14 assists for Central, which impressed Leavitt with strong team defense.
Anna Senese added 10 service points and six kills while Jenny Lubic notched 18 assists for Kaneland.
Leavitt said he expected longtime former Kaneland coach Todd Weimer to provide the opposition, not knowing that Weimer stepped down during the summer and was replaced by McCastland.
"I said is 'Todd coming in late or what?' and then I realized Todd's not coming," Leavitt said. "I talked to
[McCastland] a little bit, but they have a really good team. ... They have several good players, and when you have a dominant hitter like [Dunn] and a good setter like [Lubic], you're always going to be tough."

I No Longer Recognize My Party
As a registered Republican I fear I must confess that I no longer recognize the party that I grew up with in Oregon. I voted for Mark Hatfield, Tom McCall and other Republicans who found enough common ground with Democrats to govern. Now I watch in dismay as those in my party boast that their primary objective is to defeat the President. Not to govern. Not to bring together a sense of responsibility and willingness to compromise to solve problems we face. Such as the budget. Such as bridges, roads and our electric grid that need maintenance and upgrading, which actually costs money. There is nothing wrong with achieving wealth, but must it be the only measure of success? Wall Street seems no different now than when Republican Teddy Roosevelt was taking on the robber barons (with regulation, by the way).

Hi Mike. Welcome to RFO. So much time has passed since 2008 when this group started, or rather when I found it. Place was really hopping back then. But now it seems the action has shifted over to Facebook.
Please feel free to join us over there. https://www.facebook.com/RepublicansforObama
I miss this place. It was easier for me to keep up with the flow of the conversation.
Hope to see you there,
I have found a refuge here. Sometimes I feel so vexed. For years, I taught my child the virtues of the Republican platform--what I believed was true at the time. Then I discovered that they are not actually a party committed to less spending. That in fact, record-breaking spending and debt occurred under Reagan, Bush and Bush. Shocking. On the other hand, I am not a "bleeding heart liberal" and really can't see myself ever becoming one.
I do believe that Obama is a moderate. He strikes me as a very sensible and intelligent fellow. When he was first elected I thought it was merely charisma and the excitement of our first black President--which I did feel, but I voted Republican in 2008 because I believed in the economic values I thought the GOP represented. I've never voted for a president based on religion, personality, looks, or even their position on abortion issues or guns or gays. I have always voted based on economic principles. Without a stable economy, the whole thing falls apart.
I think the so-called "moral majority" really ruined us. They play on the superstitions and fears of people who think God will bless or punish this nation for its legal system. It's shameful and detrimental.

The smartphone world never seems to stop turning. We've barely finished with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and we're already only weeks away from the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. While CES was a largely American affair, MWC is all about European and world-wide releases, so it's definitely the expo to watch if you're living in the UK.
Here in Part 1, we'll be looking at what smartphones and tablets we can expect from some of the biggest names in the business: Asus, Fujitsu, HTC, Huawei and LG. Let's get started!
Asus - Entertainment Rating: 4/5 | Surprise Rating: 1/5
The Taiwanese consumer electronics giant has been very open with its MWC offerings – officially confirming that the Asus Padfone will be launched at the Mobile World Conference. The unique phone-in-a-tablet was on-hand at CES and unveiled (hilariously) last year, so we know the basics already: It's a 4.3" smartphone that can be housed in a 10.1" tablet dock, for when you need a little extra screen space. The Padfone is expected to come with Ice Cream Sandwich, and launch sometime this year.
Aside from the Padfone, we may also see more of Asus' other tablet offerings, including the Asus Transformer Prime HD or the Asus MeMo.
Verdict: Tune in, if just for the Padfone.
Fujitsu - Entertainment Rating: 2/5, Surprise Rating: 1/5
Fujitsu are afirm who aren't expected to shock with their MWC announcements. The one thing to look out for will be more information on their Fujitsu Arrows prototype, which proved popular at CES with its 6.7 mm frame packing serious quad-core Tegra 3 heat.
Verdict: Skip.
HTC - Entertainment Rating: 5/5, Surprise Rating: 4/5
Taiwanese smartphone superstar is looking set to provide some of the most exciting new phones and tablets of MWC. According to numerous leaks throughout the tail end of last year, we'll be looking at seeing perhaps five new products, including four smartphones and one tablet.
The HTC Primo is one that's been making the rounds recently, and seems quite likely to launch. It's the 'manly' version of the HTC Rhyme, a mid-range smartphone that'll be packing Beats Audio integration (as will all HTC phones this year.) Another solid mid-range phone could be the HTC Ville, which should be made from a single piece of brushed aluminium and be thin to boot, at less than 8 mm. It's also reckoned to have an excellent point-and-shoot quality camera.
On the upper end of things, we've got two possible phones. The more likely is the HTC Edge, which also may be called the HTC Endeavour or HTC Supreme. It's expected to be a quad-core Tegra 3 powered smartphone with a 4.7" HD display, making for one of the most powerful smartphones ever. We've also heard (and mostly discounted) rumours of an even stronger smartphone, the HTC Zeta. The Zeta was said to be just a concept when it was revealed last year, but may have moved closer to reality since then. It'd come with a 2.5 GHz quad core processor, quite a step above the 1.3 to 1.5 GHz quad cores in other Tegra 3 devices. Still, it seems to be an unlikely reveal.
The last thing we'll see from HTC is a tablet. Expected to be powered by Tegra 3 as well, the quad-core HTC Quattro (see what they did there?) should be a full-sized follow-up to the moderately successful HTC Flyer of last year. Expect a low resolution display (e.g. current iPad 2, near 1280 x 768) and an HTC Scribe stylus to be included.
Verdict: Must-follow. HTC are looking to announce some amazing gadgets, and we may not yet know the half of it.
Huawei - Entertainment Rating: 4/5, Surprise Rating: 3/5
Huawei are very likely to show off their latest phones, the Huawei Diamond Series. These phones are supposedly a step up from the Huawei Ascend P1 S, which demoed at CES and packed a surprising amount of firepower into the thinnest chassis ever. We could conceivably see quad-core Tegra 3 and HD displays strapped into these miniscule bodies, which could prove quite a success. Following their surprisingly great Honor launch, Huawei are on a great streak and will look to continue to show up the bigger firms with excellently designed phones.
Verdict: Tune in – your next phone could very well come from these guys.
LG - Entertainment Rating: 3/5, Surprise Rating: 4/5
After a disappointing 2011, LG will be looking to hit the ground running with a strong MWC launch. They're expected to be announced two phones, the LG Optimus 3D Max, the follow-up the LG Optimus 3D, and the LG X3, the follow-up to the LG Optimus 2X. The 3D Max will offer a 3D display in a much smaller chassis than last time, but has the 3D boat already sailed? The X3 looks like a more steady bet, rumoured to come with the now-standard Tegra 3 quad-core and some other impressive stats. Both of their predecessors sold poorly and got middling reviews, so LG will have to really excel this year to have a chance against Samsung and HTC.
Verdict: Hard to predict, LG have a mixed track record of late but could still easily come out with something truly exciting.
That's All, Folks
And with that, we come to the end of Part 1. Be sure to check back here tomorrow at 6 PM to read the next installment, where we'll cover more of the biggest names in the smartphone and tablet businesses - Microsoft, Nokia, RIM, Samsung, Sony and ZTE. The Mobile World Congress this year looks like it's going to be a massive one, so definitely tune in!
Thanks for reading, and farewell for now!

Nice! Excellent summary of what to look out for. Like thye look of the HTC Ville!
A good read ... HTC seem to be the ones to beat lately. Used to turn my nose up not so long ago ...the wife has the wildfife s and the sister-in-law has the desire hd ..neither of which appealed to me initially due to their weight and often unresponsive screen, but technology-wise they have certainly turned the corner and left many others behind.
Looking forward to the next read tomorrow..
lovely post pushed my geeky buttons cool stuff right here
Way too geeky for me but would agree Huawei have the potential to be a major player going forward.
Only big problem is that while smartphones get thinner, smaller etc and we all get older and more blind the Nokia brick could make a comeback
Love the look of the HTC ville!! Brilliant, I cant believe how far phones have now come.
Nice post, though I have to admit when seeing the title I immediately hoped that giffgaff were going to be making some kind of annoucement for about their plans for 2012
Huawei phones i dont think they are ready to compete yet that cheapeness makes them lack important parts , slow proccesser not enough memory and multi tasking wow these phones crash
Thanks for the kind words, good giffgaffers
smudgerdavid, try having a look at Engadget's review of the Huawei Honor - according to them, it's a rather well crafted piece of kit that speaks well to Huawei's ability to produce quality top-end phones as well as their more customary feature phone fare.

Police officers served gross misconduct notices after failing in their duty to stop paedophile doctor.
Four police officers, including one from the Lincolnshire force, have been served gross misconduct notices for failing to pass on warnings about a paedophile cancer doctor.
Myles Bradbury, 41 was jailed for 22 years for abusing 18 vulnerable children he was supposed to be caring for at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Bradbury, was described as a 'cold and calculating monster' and used a spy pen which held 170,000 images of his victims.
Despite being told by police in Canada that Bradbury was buying child porn on the internet, investigators in the UK failed to act for 16 months, classifying him as 'low risk'.
The police's national Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) was given the information from Toronto police in July 2012.
But it was not forwarded to Cambridgeshire and Suffolk Police until the National Crime Agency took over CEOP in November 2013 and Bradbury was arrested a month later.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has now served notices on four officers who held management roles in CEOP.
An IPCC spokesman said since the incident two of the officers have retired, one is at the NCA and one, who was on secondment from Lincolnshire Police, has returned there.
He said: "All four notices are for failing to adequately progress and manage the referral by Toronto Police from Project Spade.
"The investigation remains ongoing."
Bradbury exploited his job as a respected paediatrician to target young boys, all of whom had cancer or blood disorders, between 2009 and 2013.
He would abuse them behind screens, sometimes with their parents in the room.
Bradbury's name was one of about 2,345 British suspects on a list given to CEOP by Canadian police in 2012.
A former deputy head Martin Goldberg, who worked at Thorpe Hall School in Southend, Essex, was also on the list.
He had images of children undressing in changing rooms in his possession.
Goldberg was found dead the day after being interviewed by police.

Foreign ministers from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have agreed to key points surrounding maritime boundaries in the South China Sea and are prepared to reach out to China to resolve any disputes, said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday, after first day of talks concluded at the annual ASEAN regional forum in Phnom Penh.
The recent tension surrounding China and several ASEAN nations, including the Philippines and Vietnam, had been expected to be top of the agenda for the regional forum this week, but regional leaders now appears to be moving quickly in order to form a common consensus ahead of discussions with China.
"Foreign ministers have agreed to have the ASEAN senior officials meet with the senior official from China to discuss the (code of conduct) from now on," said Cambodia's secretary of state at the foreign ministry Kao Kim Hourn, whose country holds the rotating chairmanship for ASEAN.
Over the last few years, ASEAN members such as Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia have all claimed territory in the South China Sea, though the Chinese government has repeatedly insisted that the entire body of water rightfully belongs to them.
And while both China and ASEAN signed a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea nearly a decade ago, which stated that all parties should resolve the situation peacefully, neither side are yet ready to formalise the declaration into a code of conduct.
Subsequently, the U.S. government has also taken an interest into the region, with U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton expected to join the ASEAN regional forum for talks later this week.
Ms Clinton had previously said the US has a "national interest" in open access to the sea, but observers predict a softer stance this week, with Washington likely to downplay friction with China.
Nevertheless, the Chinese response to ASEAN and the U.S. has been fairly negative, with China's foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin telling journalists that the Chinese government would only discuss the issue "when conditions are ripe."
"I want to stress that the COC (code of conduct) is not aimed at resolving disputes, but aimed at building mutual trust and deepening cooperation," said Liu, as quoted by AFP.
Additionally an editorial published in the state-run People's Daily on Tuesday appeared to belittle ASEAN's resolution and warned that "further provocation from Vietnam and the Philippines would mean direct confrontation with China's angry public."
"ASEAN can only play a role in mediating, and never dictate affairs concerning territorial demarcation. As long as ASEAN remains rational, it will not accept Vietnam and the Philippines' request," wrote the People's Daily.
"If ASEAN becomes deeply embroiled and the South China Sea issue tops its agenda, it will mean an evolutionary change in ASEAN's geopolitical role. ASEAN is not ready for it, and no agreement will be reached among its members," it added.

"China will not sacrifice its territorial interest due to pressure from international opinion. Other big powers won't risk their own national interests to confront China in the South China Sea."

The beloved store off Brownsboro Road known for providing the latest designer fashions is on the brink of an achievement that many businesses never experience.
In 18 months, Rodes For Him and For Her will celebrate its 100th anniversary as a boutique in Louisville. It's a milestone worthy of much recognition, but it's not the only reason Rodes deserves praise.
Aside from its top-quality merchandise and service, Rodes has been dedicated over the years to many charities throughout the community.
"Rodes has been a family owned business since 1914 and supporting our local community through its charities is the most rewarding part of who we are,†said Rodes Marketing Director Fred Teale. "We are committed to supporting the community that supports us.â€
Most notably, Rodes has been involved with the Triple Crown of Running, sponsoring the second leg of the race, the Rodes City Run 10K. Established in 1981, the Rodes City Run is one of the oldest road races in the region. On June 2, the Triple Crown of Running donated a record $171,862 to the WHAS Crusade for Children. The Rodes City Run, itself, contributed $53,000 to the cause.
"(It's) all about sponsors,†Teale said. "If we didn't have really good sponsors that donated money or time or product there's no way we could do this. (And we had) participants that also donated online.â€
Beside the Rodes City Run, Rodes is also highly dedicated to Gilda's Night and Derby Divas.
"In November, we do Gilda's Night,†said Teale. "This past year (it was held) at Rodes, (around) 350 people were there. This November, it will be at Bittners. We alternate sites. We raised $344,000 for that. … We've raised more than $1 million in seven years.â€
In April of this year, Rodes hosted Derby Divas. The store was able to raise more than $98,000, which Thorntons agreed to match with an additional $100,000, all benefiting the Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program.
"We've hosted a lot of other smaller (charity events) or participated (in them),†Teale added. "A lot of our customers are on committees and boards for fundraising events. … We're involved in The Voice's Best Dressed, so we're involved with a lot of those things indirectly.â€
Through its philanthropic efforts, Rodes has proven it cares not only about making its customers look their best on the outside, but also about making them feel good on the inside by helping the community. It's certainly an admirable trait, and perhaps the secret to the success of a 100-year-old business.
"We get a lot of direction from our customers and they all have needs and so we try to help out as many as we can,†Teale said. "These three major (fundraisers) that we do, they've just been a part of our culture. We were downtown since 1914 and (off Brownsboro Road) since 2006, and we're in our customers' backyard. We're really a part of the neighborhood and part of the community.â€

VERGENNES — Facing a $224,000 deficit due to last winter's soaring fuel bills and to trouble with the school's heating and ventilation system, Vergennes Union High School officials slashed almost $200,000 of supplies, equipment and materials from a December draft budget in order to keep their proposed 2009-2010 spending increase at 4.9 percent.

VERGENNES — Struggling to find a name for their newly formed band, Doug Hawley, Billy Yantz and Pat O'Brien stood on O'Brien's driveway in Vergennes one night in 1964. They were teenagers — Yantz, the oldest of the three, was only 15.
The guys tossed around a few names, but as Yantz remembers it, nothing sounded quite right.

BRISTOL — Hundreds of Bristol residents were expected to bid a final farewell to Fred Jackman on Wednesday morning in a very public salute to a dedicated public servant, shrewd businessman, WWII veteran and iconic figure in Addison County's firefighting community who died on Saturday at the age of 84.
As the Vermont Legislature and the Douglas administration work to achieve a balanced budget in light of a significant downturn in revenues, an emphasis on increasing revenues needs to be matched with proposed cuts. That has not happened to date.
Vermont has a few weeks to get its wish list in order before the federal government hands out parts of a $400 billion stimulus plan to stem the national recession and prime the economic pump. Faced with thousands of layoffs in recent months throughout the state, Vermonters, no doubt, want to know what Gov.
Hey, it's two weeks 'til Christmas and from the constant bleating of news reports 24/7, we all know that the world's economy is on life support. So, what do we do … dig a hole and hide, or look around us and see what life has to offer? Well, as Annie said, "the sun will come out tomorrow" — in fact, it's out there now.

It seems appropriate, in this coming year of change, to talk about establishing new traditions. That doesn't mean tossing out the old, but rather making way for the changes that are ahead and learning how to embrace them with all the richness of family rituals.
I speak for many, as an adult with three grown daughters, to recognize that the holiday traditions we celebrated 20 years ago when they were young, giddy and true-believers, are much different today. Not yet the granddad and with daughters in the Rockies and further West, the four of us gather when we can and celebrate togetherness simply because we miss each other and rejoice in the bonding of just being together.
We ski. We run. We hike, bike, kayak, swim, water-ski, rock-climb or just hang on the porch and gab away the hours. This past January we had cause to go to Hawaii to see an uncle of mine married and be part of the wedding party. We all took time off from work and school (not an easy thing in itself) and spent the better part of a week playing on the shores of Oahu and being with family. We played in the surf, toured the island, paid $10 each to open a clam and see what type of pearl would be inside; two of us took surfing lessons after the other two had to get back to their respective responsibilities, and we all had a memorable time together.
Three months later, two daughters and I met in Big Sur, California to run in their first marathon along that spectacular coast to Carmel. We started the race together, ran stride for stride for those 26 miles and crossed the finish hand-in-hand triumphant over our heads. That night I treated them to cocktails at Carmel's Highlands Lodge and saw a glorious, blazing orange sunset over the Pacific in country made famous by photographer Ansel Adams. It was an occasion not to forget.

ORWELL — When you hear "Santa Shop" it might conjure up images of a frosty North Pole workshop, staffed by Christmas elves and jolly old St. Nick himself.
Think again, at least if you find yourself at the Orwell Village School come Christmastime.
Every year, volunteers at the school transform the town hall gym into their very own "Santa Shop," where students at the K-8 school can — for the price of just one dollar — select gifts for their families.
The hundreds of gifts — some brand new, some as good as new — are all donated by Orwell residents, and arranged on tables for the children to sift through. There are stuffed animals, puzzles and piles of toys for siblings. Earrings and ornaments, candleholders and coffee cups, bells and books — the choices are seemingly endless.
There may not be reindeer or elves manning this Santa Shop — but as children from the school streamed into the gym last Thursday, sifted through tables piled high with goodies, and consulted with each other on gift ideas, this particular incarnation proved just as festive as that North Pole outpost.
The Santa Shop tradition is among the school's oldest — with a genesis that no one can quite pinpoint anymore.
Cathy Dundon, who heads up the event now, said the Santa Shop was already well established by the time she moved to Orwell 25 years ago.
"(Kids) like to give presents, too," she said with a small smile and a shrug. "They're usually the ones who are stuck home with the babysitters (during Christmas shopping)."

Term started (it's nearly over now FUCK) and I went back to CUWBC as I was always intending to. I lasted a very impressive four days before throwing in the towel and going back to my bikes.
My heart just wasn't in it at all and I came to the conclusion that doing a boat race just out a sense of duty was a very bad reason to do a boat race. You have to want it and want it with all your soul, there is nothing gained by just going through the motions.
I wanted new challenges - I did after all finally win a boat race last year - and the bike would give me that. Sitting in the middle of the velodrome in Manchester with my head in my hands after getting wupped one of my friends remarked that he thought we might be witnessing the death knell of my rowing career and to a certain extent, he was right. Within a week I went back to and subsequently left CUW and was back on the bike again.
Stuff then started happening. I sold my boat, reasoning that it was a crime against Empachers to leave a nice Empacher lying around not doing anything for a couple of years. I put it on the Rowing Service Noticeboard (thanks Rachel Quarrell!), massively lucked out and it was sold and collected within 24 hours... mental.
In a scene which was weirdly similar to when I bought it; I got it from York and there was the York Minster in the background, now the guy was trying it out in Ely in with Ely Cathedral in the background. It was also fucking freezing, because it was Ely.
|This is my favourite me-and-my-boat picture. I had hair then. HAIR.
Anyway, rambling.
I have now embarked on CYCLING ALL THE THINGS and there is well known that if you want to get good at cycling you need two things: a coach and a power meter (and training, suffering etc. but that it is a given). Therefore I've got myself a coach to (a) impart cycling knowledge and (most importantly) (b) stop me from overtraining.
I've also not got a powertap wheel which means MOAR DATA and MOAR GRAPHS which, as a mathematician, is very pleasing to me. However, it is also a tricky beast to please and most of the time my Garmin looks like this:
Occasionally you can make it look like this, but not for very long and usually resulting in you throwing up in a hedge at the side of the road.
So yes, this is now my life:
Descending is SO MUCH FUN when you are a heavy fucker :)
Climbing up the hills is *not* though. For the first time in my life I actually have to lose weight; everything is power to weight in this cycling game, and while being a bit heavy is fine in a boat where it adds a negligible amount to the surface area of boat underwater... When you are going up a hill it matters. A lot.
I have noticed something about this cycling thing though. Compare these two:
I mean, what the actual fuck? How does that even work? The other thing I've noticed is that for the first time ever I have a good reason to shave my legs. I mean, having to shave my legs because I'm a girl is just a shit reason. Shaving my legs because it makes me look more pro at cycling however (even if I'm just wearing leggings all the time anyway) is a good reason.
Other stuff ermmmmmmmm. Oh yeah, I got some rollers. You know, these things:
They were kinda alright actually. I mean the first time I went on them (in my kitchen, holding onto a much too low kitchen surface) I got major novice death grip in the hand I was holding on with and I was basically just sweating FEAR.
The next time was much more successful. For the first 35 mins. I decided it would be a great idea to sort of move around on my saddle a bit and ended up cycling off the edge and completely stacking it and falling off in a very ungainly way. (I almost took out my housemate who was on rollers next to me... oops).
There can honestly be nothing worse than falling off something when you're techincally not really moving at all. I have been reassured it is a rite of passage, stacking it off rollers, much like falling out of a single, which makes me feel a little better.
NOW, I don't know what it is about this item of clothing but I think you either have to be Italian or Eddy Merckx to pull them off. Else, you look like a massive twat.
I give you "normal" Anna:
Cycling* Anna:
|*Imagine bike + outdoors etc.
Look! I made a gif to show you how wearing a cycling cap can transform me from me to 14 year old boy!
(Sorry, I could not be fucked in lining up the images SO SHOOT ME)
|Would YOU trust this 14 year old boy not to rob an off-license?
However, such is the cycling culture that we all wear them anyway. I mean, I am secretly* trying to look a bit like Robert Millar:
|*not very secretly
Sure, I'm failing miserably, but it's the thought that counts right?
Now I am spending considerably more time cycling on the roads around Cambridge I have become... much less tolerant of people being fucking idiots on the roads (cars - cyclists - pedestrians inclusive).
When I have spent an entire ride being cut up by asshats and have just run out of swears to call them (it usually happens that you get an entire week of asshat driving in one ride) I start bitterly constructing award ceremonies in my head for the worst offenders. I am not sure if this is entirely normal, but I imagine getting "FUCKING ASSHAT DRIVER WHO JUST OVERTOOK ME AT 70MPH WITH AN INCH OF ROOM BEFORE TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF ME" to some nice glitzy award ceremony. There is champagne and women are wearing sparkly dresses and shit and there are glamourous shots of the FUCKING ASSHAT DRIVER all around the place. Stephen Fry gives a little speech about FUCKING ASSHAT DRIVER and then I present him with an award.
It keeps me amused.
Of course the converse is true and I shower adulation and love in unnecessarily flowery language on people who aren't asshats too.
I think a nice friendly wave to nice people who wait for you at junctions and stuff just makes the world a better place. I also like the solidarity that appears to exist between road cyclists (the nod as you past someone else, giving people inner tubes etc.) It's just quite awesome when you are hammering it round in the Fens and it's raining and there's a fucking massive crosswind and its 3 degrees and you are sugar bonking and you accidentally dropped half your banana in the road and your arse hurts and your lungs hurt and your ears are really fucking cold even though you bought a special hat to go under your helmet and you pass someone going the other way and you give them The Nod to acknowledge that they are too suffering in this Fenland soul-destroying wasteland and we understand each other for a little moment before disappearing into the fog and your own personal hell again. It's a beautiful moment.
ANYWAY, couple of bits of news before I sign off for the night.
I am now on Twitter! I am @rail_guns, obviously (OK, I considered @fuckinghellrage but this is a little more PC). I occasionally attempt to say amusing things, not making any promises though.
I AM MAKING MORE MUGS. If you want any bespoke ones for your longsuffering family members/coxswain/coach/dog etc. for Christmas NOW IS YOUR CHANCE. Drop me an email if you want anything, I'll put the order in mid-December probably. I'll do some more Flaily Scullers and Gorilla Fighters and that do not worry :) They'll be the bargainous sum of £8 again.
And with that, I bid you good night!

I think I need to spend more time on the internet and maybe leave the camera home once in a while when I go out.
Aaaaah now that sounds very painful yeah I think your photo wisdom is good advise!

Brown Rice Salad with Leftover Turkey (or chicken), Red Cabbage, and Pecans
Brown Rice Salad with Leftover Turkey, Red Cabbage, and Pecans
(Makes about 8 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with a little inspiration from a salad in Bon Appetit Magazine.)
4 cups cooked long grain brown rice (see recipe notes, do not use instant rice)
3 cups diced leftover turkey
1 cup sliced green onions
1 1/2 cups finely diced celery
3 cup finely chopped red cabbage (about 1/2 head of cabbage)
1 cup chopped pecans (or more, use any nuts of your choice)
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley (cilantro would be good in this, but I didn't have any)
Dressing Ingredients:
5 T olive oil
3 T rice vinegar (not seasoned)
3 T soy sauce
2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 T agave nectar or honey (use agave nectar for South Beach Diet)
1 T ginger puree (from a jar) or 3/4 T finely grated fresh ginger
1 tsp. Spike seasoning (optional, but recommended)
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
pinch cayenne pepper or dash of hot sauce
Chop turkey, green onion, celery, red cabbage, pecans, and parsley or cilantro and put in large mixing bowl. Add cooled brown rice and gently stir to combine ingredients. Pour over about 3/4 of the dressing and mix until salad is well coated with dressing. (You probably won't need all the dressing, but save it to refresh the flavor of any leftover salad which has been in the fridge.) Serve immediately. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, but after that the cabbage will lose it's crunch.
