LOL. Of course attractive women would date a model rather than an average person. I look ridiculous in a sweater and tie, for instance - like a grown-up schoolboy.
Come on, you can do better!

You're right, they don't compliment - but at least they don't tell you how "dressed up" (in a bad way) you look with your sweater and shirt. I take that as a compliment - I've been told "sweaters are for old fogeys".
In fact I do get complimented at work with my SF costumes, although it's usually by women in their 40's and 50's, a little too old for me
I am surrounded by diplomatics at work, which are used to wearing coat and tie since they were young...
Others have already pointed out the trolliness of comparing regular dudes with catalogue models, but you're the better kind troll that occasionally raises valid points hidden under the cloak of the trolling, So, it's worth also pointing out that the other part of the equation you're either choosing to ignore or simply cannot fathom, is some people have grown beyond the dating scene stage of life. Appearing attractive to random birds doesn't really come into my choice of dress all that much any more. There are other, far more interesting & important reasons that can underpin how you want to look on a given day.
Anyway, some more fodder for you to compare to a mall fashion shoot...
I don't mind what people think about, I know I usually uploead pics of my fits but is for learning purposes. I have learned a lot of stuff in here and believe it or not, as long as I feel confident with what I'm wearing, that's all I care. If people think "he looks good" or "he looks like an old guy", I really don't care. The way I dress has helped me with my business and that's what I really care about.

One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush has long been involved in political issues, including touring college campuses to encourage young people to vote to making appearances in Texas in support of the 2008 Obama campaign.
Apparently Bush even contemplated a career in politics herself, until coming to the conclusion she couldnt make much of a difference.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
He's not left enough for them.
who tf is Sophia? You are assuming that we all actually read "people" and watch t.v..
Stay Out Da Bushes.
Hollywood is paid well to fear the GOP and even more to say so. LOL!
Those last few paragraphs are a hoot. It must be really tough to be a liberal in such a cruel world.
Canada? You'll be more comfortable with your views in Cuba. Oh, and good luck having the state pay for your uterus needs.
Sophia, sweetie, you probably haven't heard that Canada is more Conservative than we are. You might try a place more like North Korea, where everyone has the same rights (as in none).
I'm not familiar with this woman. She claims to be frightened by GOP candidates. So would I be wrong to describe her as cowardly?
Another BUSH shooting off her mouth. However, I have no idea who this one is and could care less.
Bon voyage to Cuba, duffus.
I'm going to consider myself lucky that I don't know who this chick is.
She is stupid and quite hot.
Sophia Bush most likely doesn't even bother vote but acts like a Democrat so that common folk will think of her as one of them and not the greedy b*tch she truly is.
Yep, and he just needs more time. So she will vote for him again.
' I think that it should be a big wake up call to everyone. When our president is supposed to barter our health care as individuals for the rights for oil companies, what are we talking about?" '
WTF? Shut up and act little girl, shut up and act.
scared to death of obama term 2
I don't understand why anyone but the dimmest bulbs would get their politics from celebutard skanks.
women say they have the right to do with there body what they wish, yet i get a ticket for no seat belt or a helmet
women say they have the right to do with there body what they wish, yet i get a ticket for no seat belt or a helmet
That is a good one! Kudos.
Apparently Bush even contemplated a career in politics herself, until coming to the conclusion she couldnt make much of a difference
That is good because she isn't making a difference as I have never even heard of her.............
No more Bushes? Sorry, more Bushes like this!
That's incredible!
She could make Joe Biden look intelligent.
Looks familiar ;)
First the doubts then the movement to the center and finally a movement to the right - not all of the slugs in Hollywood of course, but some.
What is she afraid of? Restoring freedom and free market capitalism?
Or then again, maybe she realizes that she backed a loser, but she just doesn't want to admit it.
I've felt that many Hollywood types were basically pretty faces with empty heads, and only a bunch of @$$holes waiting in the wings to fill them.
"Apparently Bush even contemplated a career in politics herself, until coming to the conclusion she couldnt make much of a difference."
Translation: she came to the conclusion that the paychecks in Hollywood are way bigger than the paychecks in politics.

A teenage lus
Fantasy, Anal
Author's infos
Gender: female Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Sun 24th of May 2009
This is my first story, I was bored and wanted to try this out. Its based on a true desire in my junior year in High School, however it didn't happen like this. I'm sure you will find a few grammar mistakes, I'm not the best with spelling either. Please forgive me if I make mistakes on small words :). Any kind of feed back is encouraged even the "You Suck!" and "That was a waste of time" kind of comments.
Seanna was on the phone with her boyfriend. Seanna was 5'5" with a carmel skin complexion. Her tits were about 36C, all her previous boyfriends seemed to love them, but they loved her firm round ass more. Seanna was a fan of anal sex but none of her boyfriends before Devon, her current boyfriend, was into it. Her long curly brown hair fell to the middle of her back and her stomach was flat, but she was a beautiful thick girl. Her legs were curvasous and long.
"Hello? Devon? Hey baby what's up?"
"Nothing baby just watching the game, you know me. What you doing?"
"Just got out in the house I was wondering if you wanted to stop by."
"Uh, after the game iight ma?
"No babe yo necesito ahora por fa. I'm so damn horny I've been wanting you all day"
"Damn girl, you know I want to but, I can't" Devon was 3 years older than Seanna, while Seanna was in her junior year of highschool. Devon was in his sophmore year of college.
"Baby I'm nearly 18 I can handle myself, if your saying no cause of all those times you wanted my lips wrapped around your 8" dick, I'm sorry but tonight I'd give you all the blowjobs you wanted, if you just stop by and fuck me baby" Hearing those words made Devon instantly get hard, he started rubbing his dick through his shorts.
"mmmmm I mean uh... Baby.... imma leave now."
"Yesssss baby alright I'm going to leave the key under the mat just let yourself in" Seanna said as she hung up the phone placed the key under the mat and went to the shower. She couldn't resist touching herself. Even before she stepped into the shower her pussy was dripping wet from all the thoughts of finally getting Devon to fuck her.
They've touched and felt each other before and once reluctantly eat her pussy, well he wanted to he just wanted something in return. She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't even hear Devon walk into the bathroom. She stuck two fingers, barely, into her pussy after letting the water run over them. She fingered her self with one hand and rubbed on her tits with the other. She occasionally removed the pussy juice covered fingers from her pussy and sucked on them. Devon let out a small groan as he watched her. Seanna immediately turned and stopped when she saw him.
"Mmm baby no don't stop. I love watching you pleasure yourself, keeping going." Seanna smiled and and kept going soon she was throwing her head back moaning as an orgasum rushed through her body. "Damnnnn, ohhh yessss!" She screamed. Devon by now had his dick out and was stroking it. When Seanna recovered from her orgasum she climbed out of the shower wrapped herself in a towell and grabbed Devon by the hand. She lead him to her bedroom.
Once there she closed and locked her door and pushed sat him down on the bed and climbed into his lap then whispered in his ear.
"Take control of me daddy. Make me your little slut." Devon took control instantly, she flipped her over and laid her on her back on the bed, he then ripped open her towell to devour and feel those tits of hers. He licked around her dark arelos, blew on her rock hard nipples. He teased her like that for a few seconds then sucked on her nipples, he even bit them softly. Seanna was loving every second of it and could feel his dick pressing aganist her pussy through his pants.
"Damn Devon you have to let me see that dick! I want to taste it so bad, daddy!" Seanna said in between her moans. Devon didn't hesistate and quickly unzipped his pants and pulled them and his boxers off. His 8" long and 3" thick dick, sprang out and Seanna grinned. She took it in her hands and licked from his balls to the head of his dick. She then sucked the head of dick and swirled her tounge all around it, making him groan. His sounds of pleasure made Seannna so wet she began touching her pussy, too. Devon put his hands on the back of her head and pushed her further down on his dick, she gagged but didn't take her mouth off that dick. Feeling like her couldn't hang on much longer Devon slid his dick out her mouth.
"Lay down on the bed and spread those legs apart, baby" Devon said softly stroking his dick. Seanna did as she was told, Devon kneeled between her legs and started licking her inner thighs and worked his way up, he completely skipped her pussy and licked up to her belly button. He slowly made his way back down and started to breathe on her pussy.
"Spit on it baby." Devon heard her say, or maybe it was his inner dirty voice, either way he did. He then spread the lips of her pussy open and licked it up and down her inner lips avoiding her clit. Occasionally he would flick it with his tounge once but never more than that until he started squrming underneath him. Then he would suck it until she shook as the orgasum sent her into convulsions. "OOO yess baby! That feels soo good oh my god. I want you to fuck me ooh baby FUCK MEEEE!" She screamed. "You don't have to tell me twice" He replied grabbing his dick and thrusted it into her wet and hot pussy. Damn she is so tight! He thought to himself and he fucked her like a wild animal, causing the bed to shake and her big tits bounce all around. He took a hold of them and used then to thrust into her deeper.
She held onto his muscular arms which she loved, and had a fetish for, as he poked her G-Spot causeing her to cum all over his dick. "Fuck baby, shove that big dick in my ass! I want you to fuck my ass baby!" Seanna got on all fours and Devon took his dick that was coated in her heavenly jucies and placed it at her anus after spliting on it. He got 2 inches in without out her screaming out in pain, he took that as an invitation to go further and by the time she tensed up 6 inches were already invading her luscious asshole. He slowly pulled in and out of her ass then when she was ready he starting pumping his dick in harder and faster filling her with the entire 8". He tried holding onto his load but her moans of pleasure was getting him close, he could feel his cum boiling in his balls. "I'm about to come baby, where do you want it?" Seanna without words opened her mouth, he pulled out of her and pumped his dick at the entrance of her mouth. The first stream of cum made her gag, she then took the nice streams easily and swallowed them. Then she took his dick into her mouth and sucked all the cum out of it. The both were startled when they heard a moan other than their own at her door. Seanna looked and saw her older sister getting off to the two fucking
"Janell, Qu?st?haciendo!? [What are you doing?]" ...

you asked for comments, you can't spell and the grammar is crap which ruins the whole story
2009-05-27 14:44:43
i would also just like to add to my previous comment, it is really annoying when people give a negative rating and dont explain why, and it offends me as an author on this site, that you write a story and it can take some time, and the people who give negative feedback wont even spare a couple of moments to give a comment.
2009-05-27 14:42:08
That story is great! Well done, especially for your first story.
Sure there is couple of grammar mistakes, but for me the story was just the right length and got me hard.

Serendipity on the Tear of India
Trip Start
Mar 21, 2005
Trip End
Loading Map
Show trip route
Hide lines
"Here's your visa," said the smiling visa man at the airport. "This is so easy," I replied. "For India, I had to wait one week" (including hours in line).
Sri Lanka, previously known as Ceylon, historically known as Serendib, the Persian root of the word serendipity. Perhaps the Persian traders sailed into the Tear Drop of India in a fluke windstorm, realizing when they came ashore that within the lush green forests of the interior were hundreds of plant species to soothe, to flavor, to cure, to adorn, to fortify, and to enrich. They also realized, I would assume, the strategic position of Sri Lanka as well as its rich supply of gems and skilled craftsmen.
"You don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings ... serendipitously." ~ John Barth, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor
Just as Shangri-la is a mountain utopia of myth and legend, so too does Serendib capture the human mind, only with a tropical twist.
Shangri-la myths involve crossing high, dangerous passes through snowstorms, braving cold, ice, hunger, and avalanches.
Serendib myths involve raging seas, crasing waves, pirates, shipwrecks, dense jungles, leopards, savage natives surrounded with a wealth of resources and clean fresh waterfalls, and tsunamis.
Paradise is dangerous. In 2004, thousands of people died in Sri Lanka and elsewhere, as a 9.0 magnitude oceanic earthquake sent powerful shockwaves towards the shores of south asia.
As I traveled by bus south down Sri Lanka's west coast to the Kosgada Turtle Hatchery, the previous devastation was apparent, though subtle, as life continued. At Kosgata, I met a couple--tailors--whose business had foundered after the Tsunami; tourists were no longer coming to the beach resort.
But it wasn't just the tsunami. Sri Lanka has the added factor of a quasi-war between the government Tamil Tigers. Depending on who is talking you get the following:
"I am Tamil," a house servant at a guest house, who was certain to let me know her ethnic background with pride in the few English words she knew.
"The Tamil have equal rights under the constitution. Most of them are no trouble. The ones the British brought from Tamil Nadu (India) to pick tea are the problem. Most have no land and claim one-sixth of the country." ~ a Ph. D student studying Buddhist art.
"Sri Lankan reputation is now bad [because of the clashes]." ~ tour operator.
"The Sri Lanka government is becoming more like a dictatorship. They are to blame for the war. They pretend that they are being progressive and want peace, but continue to fight. The government now has over 100 ministers. Each has their big cars and bodyguards. It's corrupt." ~ Sinhalese jeweler.
Indeed, tourism, the number one industry in Serendib, had suffered. Now, tea was tops. As one of few tourists in Sri Lanka, immediately, I have many friends as well as people who see me as hope or as a walking dollar bill, depending on how they view tourists.
The conflict is typically focused on the northern and northeast provinces, where the Tamil population is the majority, so I felt safe coming and still feel safe, despite today's small bombing of the commercial district in Colombo.
Over one week ago, I had walked through this district, heavily militarized and full of checkpoints. Examing the situation, everything seems relative: to one person, for example, the Tigers of Tamil Eelam might be akin to the American Continental Army over 200 years ago.
That person might say this: "Like your Boston Tea Party rebels, we are tired of our rights being taken away. We are tired of taxation without true rights. We want our own country. We are freedom fighters."
Another person with a slightly different view might say: "They are terrorists. They came from India and are destroying our country. We want peace. They want war. We must get rid of them."
Despite the war, if people didn't talk about it, no signs of conflict existed anywhere as my journey progressed.
Back at the Kosgada Turtle Factory, I had the spine tingling opportunity to meet thousands of baby Green Turtles and Olive Ridley Turtles about to be released into the ocean. There I met Kansiriyapin Abren, the loving manager, who released millions of baby turtles into the Indian Ocean and rebuilt the hatchery following the tsunami. He talked about the tsunami, the tragedy, and the wave itself:
"In the morning, I noticed the tides were different, but continued to work as usual. I didn't know anything about tsunamis. A fairly large wave came, then...the ocean disappeared. I told everyone to go, get in the van and head higher. I put on a lifevest. Then the tsunami came and hit me, pushing me back. It pulled me under many times. But the vest pulled me up. A door was forced shut, with an unconscious woman inside, underwater. I pulled her up and swam to safety."
After the tsunami, large amounts of aid arrived, with people wanting to volunteer rebuilding homes. The government, however, would not allow the rebuilding because that would mean continued risk within the tsunami and coastal zone. So people stayed in the temporary camps and temples. Nonetheless, homes were eventually rebuilt--some of them--with USAID signs or other logos posted on the weatherproof plastic or on nearby signs. With most of the land in Sri Lanka already settled, no options essentially existed for many of the homeless--they had to rebuild with the mentality that tsunamis and other disasters happen.
Then we talked about the turtles. Before, locals ate the turtle eggs in large numbers, which was probably fine before 95% of the world's coastline was settled with hungry egg-eaters, beach-goers, urban dwellers, and more, leaving the turtles with hardly any beach to lay their eggs. Now, the only way to keep the five species of sea turtles--Green, Hawksbill, Leatherback, Olive Ridley, and Loggerhead viable was to take action--through hatcheries, through predator exclusion cages (as is done on the east coast of the US and elsewhere, where suburban skunk and racoon populations have soared).
So Kansiriyapin purchases eggs from the egg collectors for a few rupees above the 7 rupee market price, buries the eggs in sand at the hatchery, and places the newly-hatched turtles in water tanks to await the right moment.
The right moment comes when the sun sets and predators lose their sight advantage. Kansiriyapin took a bucket full of turtles to the beach, and we watched as they made their way to the sea in the faint light of dusk.
Kansiriyapin gave me a ride into nearby Ambalangoda, introducing me to his neighbors, Ranjith and Naline who ran the Sunudu Guest House. We sat together on the Victorian-style verandah as they talked about their life and were curious about mine. In town, I visited the windy beach and fierce surf pounding a nearby rocky islet covered in a Greater Crested Tern colony. A soaring White-breasted Sea Eagle stirred the colony to life in a panic as the salt spray whipped from the waves onto my face.
Back in town, I visited a couple of mask stores. Traditionally, the masks were designed for ceremonial and shamanic dances, which could heal disease or bring good luck, depending on the need and the mask used. The masks and dances also told local myths, legends, and stories.
I took another packed bus complete with Jesus, Buddha, Lakshmi, Sarasvati, and other icons with flashing trance-inducing lights above the driver--truly a pantheistic bus. Soon, we were in Galle, an old fort with Dutch, English, and Portugese histories. Most of them had left, except for the absentee landlords who saw a good investment when they came to this colonial World Heritage site. Still, however, the traders of Morocco, the Moors, remained:
"My grandparents came here just like your family came to America," one Sri Lankan Moor told me as we sat in his house chatting. I met him taking his little daughter in her Sunday best back from Islam Sunday School.
On this sunny Sunday morning, I walked through the town and on the ramparts, enjoying the views of the red-tiled rooftops, churches, and sea. Meals at the Rampart View and elsewhere around town were amazing, full of fresh papayas, pineapple, curries, aubergines, okra, chutney, and more. The people smiled along with me.
So this is serendipity?
Well, I guess it depends on your point of view.

This Mod lets you create your own colony of headcrabs and Antlions! :3.

Of course, don't forget to feed them or you'll have a load of corpses lying around - and you don't want that now do you.
Melon and meat are food. Meat disapear after a certain time. Melon become tree, and these tree are spawning melon.

Wow. I thought it was so cute I couldn't decide it it was real or a stuffed toy. I thought maybe it was something stuffed you got for your birthday. Knowing it is real makes it even better. I (who has too many animals) almost want one.
How's your dog do around him?
word verification = progie. Sounds like a name for a hedgehog since Hedgie is taken. :)All my animals love him. My kitten is always in his tank (though that is not where she is supposed to be!) My dog think it's cute but doesn't get too close b/c he has already gotten his nose poked while sniffing him.
Because of its pokey spines, all the pets are interested, but everyone leaves it alone. What's really cute is that Hedgie always tried to cuddly up with my cats which can freak them out. Good times.
But yes, a real hedgehog (African pygmy hedgehog). They are illegal in California though. Some states are not hedgehog fans.

had very little validity in terms of the show's "experiment." Yes, it was a lot fun to watch our couples try to parent teenagers when they are teenagers themselves, but none of it had anything to do with proving that the couples can parent. Actually, the episode was much more focused on two couples self-destructing, which, I guess, is just the sort of thing we should have expected from the series.
It all started while the couples were at a kid-free but tension-filled brunch. As Daton and Morgan fought before they'd even ordered food, the teens were showing up back at the houses. We were instantly informed, much to my amusement, that the teens' parents wouldn't be watching the goings-on from across the street. The teens, quite clearly, had been given a license to wreak havoc and most of the couples were none too pleased when they got back from the restaurant. Very amusingly, Daton and Morgan's teen, Eddie, had been trying to cook but found out that he needed to first clean the spatula. Morgan, as though we didn't know as much already, doesn't keep a clean kitchen, but having her "child" tell her the place was filthy was excellent. I'm sure that the criticism didn't sink in, but it was valid.
Daton was still displeased from breakfast, and picked a fight with Morgan in front of Eddie. Eddie, who was six when his parents got divorced, wisely left the room. While it was better for Eddie to leave, it did mean that he missed Daton telling Morgan that he wanted to break-up. Eddie was back by the time that Daton had his bag packed and got to say goodbye before Daton left the cul-de-sac. Morgan, in a rare display of good sense, opted to stay on as a single parent instead of bailing from her responsibilities.
That storyline completely overshadowed Sam, Cory and Alicea's troubled teen, who quickly threw all of Alicea's clothes onto the floor and once the couple got home proceeded to climb out a window and play on the roof. All of the sudden that whole locking the kid in the basement from the second season of Desperate Housewives didn't seem like such a bad idea to me. Sam, who seemed more like a talker than a doer, told the couple he was going to go out, hotwire a car that wasn't his, and drive around. Naturally, he didn't make any move to leave the house, but that didn't stop him from being obnoxious.
The couples were assigned to go to various outings, some educational, some boring, some whitewater rafting. Jordan and Sasha, rather than trying to make the trip amusing for their teen, Snowy, did nothing but complain about the trip. Snowy didn't seem to think the museum was that boring, but Jordan and Sasha wanted nothing to do with it. Not such great parenting skills on display there.
After the outing, Morgan ran over to Kelly to tell her about Daton's leaving. That led to Kelly complaining to Austin about their relationship and some more serious couple-fighting. Kelly's biggest complaint? Austin is too much of an adult. Also, Kelly apparently doesn't like him to touch her and despite it being her idea to go on the show she doesn't want to be married to him, she just wants to have fun. The two decided that they would stick together until the end of the show and then end their relationship.
It was that night that the games with the teens really began. A bunch of the teens got together and toilet papered the neighborhood. Upon waking and seeing the goings-on, Jordan was hugely displeased, he ran out of the house and started threatening to get out the belt. Again – funny, but probably not the best parenting tactic. Morgan actually acted like an adult, getting mightily perturbed at Eddie and ordering him out of the house to see, and admit to, his handiwork.
The next day eventually came and we got to see why it might have been better for Morgan that Daton left the show. Morgan had the opportunity to talk to her mom and apologize for her own behavior when they last saw each other. Austin and Kelly? They didn't have any sort of time to relax. They had another massive fight, which left Austin outside the house and convinced that he was going to be sleeping elsewhere. It even worried their teen about where he was going to end up.
Kelly ended up apologizing to Austin for blowing up at him, but Austin wasn't so ready to accept the apology. Instead, he told her that he needed to think about things. It made sense to me, but I couldn't tell how it struck Kelly. She went back inside, which may have been her being angry once more or it could have just been her giving Austin the space he seemed to need. Austin did end up staying at Cory and Alicea's that night.
The next morning, Morgan headed off to work leaving Eddie to clean the whole house and Austin headed back to his place to check on the kid. There was some momentary excitement in the morning when Cory and Alicea were awoken when three teens fired some toy darts at them, but, like too much on the show, it didn't really go anywhere.
At the debrief, Cory and Alicea tried to talk to Sam's mom about his attitude over the course of the three days. Mom though was apparently delusional, as she insisted that her precious child would never do the things Cory and Alicea claimed. She said that it was their parenting tactics that were wrong, that Sam would never act that way to her. Sam proceeded to head downstairs and give his mom the exact same sort of attitude Alicea and Cory had talked to mom about. Mom tried to make some excuses about it, but they were all pretty weak. Her kid acted poorly, it wasn't Alicea and Cory's fault, and mom just didn't want to admit it.
The rest of the debriefs were moderately less interesting, though Morgan and Kelly did both sound a lot more adult now than they did at the beginning of the series. The episode ended with Austin holding Kelly after he explained to her that he still loved her but that logically he didn't think their relationship should be progressing the way it is.
Thoughts and questions:
- Some of the teens actually behaved surprisingly well. Naturally, we barely saw those teens, but I was impressed by a few of them.
- What do you think, were the teens told going into the show that it was okay to act out and generally destroy things or were they smart enough to figure it out on their own?
- Do Kelly and Austin breakup permanently?
- Does Daton come back for the reunion show?
The TV and Film Guy's Reviews – Yeah, we've got that.

EY's comments on the publication of the Government's Energy Bill
Tony Ward Power & Utilities Partner at EY said:
"The publication of the Energy Bill today marks the opening of the final chapter in the UK's Electricity Market Reform (EMR) process that began some seven years ago. The fact that Treasury and DECC have finally reached an agreement that has preserved much of the long-standing intent behind the reform is welcome and will be a relief to potential investors and existing asset owners alike.
"The measures announced achieve the difficult balance of preserving the majority of the aspiration to meet our 2020 targets for emissions and renewable energy, while acknowledging the potential role of gas in our fuel mix and moderating consumer bill increases. Whilst undoubtedly reflecting a degree of compromise, the UK finally seems to be back on track to create the much needed environment of stability and trust in the energy policy framework.
"According to our recent Powering the UK report, investment in the sector reached a 20-year high at £10bn last year and employment grew by 6%. Instilling confidence around the clear direction and objectives of energy policy is the only way to keep that investment momentum going and to continue to create jobs and growth for the UK. The priority should now be on the absolute commitment to implementation.
"It may not be until autumn 2013 before this Bill reaches the statute book, so maintaining confidence in its safe passage will be vital. As ever, details remain to be ironed out or fully articulated. It is inevitable that in the coming days questions will be raised about specific elements, for example exactly how the CfD (Contracts for Difference) counter-party will operate, whether the capacity market will actually be deployed, and if so whether it will simply reward existing assets or incentivise new-build? Government and industry should work closely together to deliver on these details.
"We should also recognise that many other vital activities are running in parallel with the Bill's passage, such as the determination of the strike price for the first nuclear CfD to support Hinkley Point C, and the ongoing focus to ensure that the planning regime does not act as a barrier to energy infrastructure development."

Candy Cane Topped Marshmallows
A few years back I ran across this cute idea from Better Homes & Gardens. I found it in their magazine and cut it out. I checked on their website, but couldn't find a picture of them. Anyway, I fell so in love with the marshmallows that I even did some for January (with blue crushed candy canes) and February (pink marshmallows with red and white candy canes). I just realized that candy canes come in every color imaginable these days. The rainbow colored candy canes on marshmallows would be cute for a birthday party. Wait until the day after Christmas and then go stock up on candy canes (last year I got several boxes for a quarter each) in varying colors.
*crushed candy canes
*powdered sugar
How To
Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 3-4 teaspoons of water. Mix until a smooth, thin, glue-like consistency is reached.
Crush the candy canes and put them in a bowl. I usually put only part of the candy canes in the bowl at a time. The powdered sugar mixture can make the candy canes a bit sticky after several dips.
Dip the tips of the marshmallows in the powdered sugar mixture and allow to drip over the bowl. When dripping has stopped, dip the marshmallow in the crushed candy canes.
Set marshmallows on a piece of foil (candy cane side up) until dry.
I have tried dipping the miniature marshmallows, and they work as well. They're a bit more tedious, but doable.
I've given these as gifts with hot cocoa mixes, and often just put them in a cute jar for decorating. I love making red and white candy jar displays this time of year!
What's your favorite way to use candy canes?
P.S. I've been featured again, and I'm a bit giddy again. Sweet Karri at My Life's a Treasure featured my Christmas countdown blocks. Thank you, Karri! Go check her out.

"Petitioning success!" one online status proclaims.
"On the ballot," a tweet says.
"We need affordable housing," another update reads.
From Facebook to Twitter, candidates running for City Councilwoman Melinda Katz's (D-Forest Hills) seat are using a variety of new media to get their message out to voters.
Katz's seat represents the 29th District, which includes Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens and parts of Richmond Hill, Maspeth and Elmhurst.
That first proclamation of petitioning success came from Heidi Harrison Chain's Facebook account, which has 38 supporters and links to articles about Chain and the Democratic candidate's campaign Web site.
Most recently, Chain launched a series of podcasts, including one from Aug. 5 that addresses constituent service. In a 60-second blurb, Chain tells listeners that, if elected, her motto would be "how can we help" and that she plans on having a constituent hotline open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"This is a great new way, a more interesting way, to reach people," Chain said of her podcasts. "We could really have a way to explain to the voters what we're thinking."
Other candidates vying for Katz's seat also have said new media has helped them get out their message to an audience they may have otherwise missed had it not been for Facebook or e-mail.
Mel Gagarin, a Democrat who let his 25 followers on Twitter know he was "on the ballot" after his petition signatures were accepted, also told those reading his account that he broke into a "sweat going from door to door" to speak with voters.
"We're using Facebook and MySpace, though not as much as Facebook," said Gagarin, a Democrat. "Facebook is a lot more user friendly. We have a Twitter account we'll be using more heavily, and we have a couple of videos we've put up on the Web site and Facebook to reach a broader audience."
Lynn Schulman, a Democrat, does not have a Twitter account, but uses Facebook, where she posts links to articles written about her campaign and includes status updates,such as "we need more affordable housing."
Schulman set aside an area on her Facebook account where individuals can participate in a discussion on health care, education and affordable housing. The candidate said she wants to have a Web-friendly office if elected, and in a previous interview Schulman said she wanted to do a "State of the District" address and post it on the Web.
Lilianna Zulunova, Albert Cohen's campaign manager, said they have had success in sparking interest among younger voters with their Facebook account.
"We've had a lot of people between the ages of 18 and 29 contacting us because they saw the Facebook page," Zulunova said.
Karen Koslowitz, a Democrat who also has a Facebook and Twitter account — with one tweet that links to her main campaign Web site — said this week that technology upgrades were needed in the NYPD. Koslowitz said in a press release that she wanted to establish a high-speed data network for first responders.

Spring Turkey Season Down Slightly in Missouri
JEFFERSON CITY - Missouri conservation officials say hunters shot only slightly fewer turkeys during the first week of the spring hunting season than last year despite challenging weather.
The Department of Conservation reports that 21,437 turkeys were taken during the first week of the season. That is 328 less than in the first week of the season last year, but officials say it is encouraging because cold, rainy and snowy weather made hunting challenging.
Hunters took the most turkeys in Franklin County, where 560 turkeys were checked. Another 444 birds were shot in Texas County, and 413 in Ste. Genevieve County. No gun-related hunting accidents were reported during the opening wee

Corky as a name is simply a descriptive nickname for someone who has a breezy, buoyant (even ditzy) personality (from the word corky meaning "cork-like" ie. "light, airy") but Gasoline Alley probably did add to its credibility as a "real" name.

Do you like yourself? After years of trying to help people emotionally, mentally, spiritually and socially, it was a major breakthrough when I discovered that most people really don't like themselves. Some of them know it, while others don't even have a clue that this is probably the root of so many other problems in their lives.
God wants us to have great relationships, but self-rejection and even self-hatred are the roots of many relationship problems. In fact, I've found the Bible to be a book about relationships, providing valuable advice about my relationship with God, other people and even myself.
How are the relationships with other people in your life? What about your relationship with God…and even with yourself?
Did it ever occur to you that you have a relationship with yourself? While I've never given it much thought, I spend more time with myself than with anyone, and it's vital to get along well with me. Remember, you are the one person you never get away from.
We all know how agonizing it is to work day after day with someone we don't get along with, but at least that person doesn't come home with us at night. We can't get away from ourselves, not even for one second, so it's of the utmost importance that we have peace with ourselves.
Many of us fall prey to self-rejection because we feel that nobody really loves us or accepts us. We figure that if nobody else loves us, then why should we love ourselves? Because we think others don't love us, we feel that we must not be worth loving. But that's a LIE we've believed for way too long!
We should love ourselves—not in a selfish, self-centered way that produces a lifestyle of self-indulgence, but in a balanced, godly way that affirms God's creation as essentially good and right. We may be flawed by unfortunate experiences we've gone through, but that doesn't mean we're worthless and good-for-nothing.
We must have the kind of love for ourselves that says, "I know God loves me, so I can love what God chooses to love. I don't love everything I do, but I accept myself because God accepts me." We must develop the kind of mature love that says, "I know I need to change, and I want to change. In fact, I believe God is changing me daily, but during this process, I will not reject what God accepts. I'll accept myself as I am right now, knowing that I will not always remain this way."
Many times people who reject themselves do so because they can't see themselves as good, proper, or right. They fail to see themselves the way God sees them—as precious children He dearly loves.
As you begin to see yourself through God's eyes—someone who's loved and cherished—your view of yourself will begin to change. You'll begin to see yourself not as rejected, but as loved and accepted…unique and beautiful in His sight.

AFAIK there are no unions for programmers here in the US,
I'm pretty sure this has been brought up on Slashdot before.
One reason being (if I'm not mistaken) is that
unionization of "professional" employees is
difficult (illegal?)?
UPDATE: Fixed a few typos, that kind of changed the meaning, but I think intent was still clear. Here's one, IT Unions. And of course there's The Office and Proffessional Employees International Union, or Union of Professional Employees or even California Professional Employees, hmm... UPDATE 2004-04-17: I'm adding a readmore here with a MIME-encoded gzip of the Tilly memorial, to preserve for posterity even though he's back. Other archives exist here, there and elsewhere.
