TED Talk: Lisa Margonelli "The political chemistry of oil"
"I highly recommend that you get a chance to see crude oil burn someday, because you will never need to hear another poli sci lecture on the geopolitics of oil again. It'll just bake your retinas."
In the Gulf oil spill's aftermath, Lisa Margonelli says drilling moratoriums and executive ousters make for good theater, but distract from the issue at its heart: our unrestrained oil consumption. She shares her bold plan to wean America off of oil -- by confronting consumers with its real cost.
Lisa Margonelli's work examines the promise and possibility of a post-oil world. She has studied California's opportunity to benefit from new technologies and policies, and is looking at the unexpected complications of alternative fuels and energy efficiency.
Margonelli has been published in The Atlantic, New York Times online, Washington Post, Wired and other publications. Her book about the oil supply chain, Oil On the Brain: Petroleum's Long Strange Trip to Your Tank, was recognized as one of the 25 Notable Books of 2007 by the American Library Association.

Orthodontic Services
It's true that a great smile is one that just looks straight and bright, but there is more. Your smile needs to align correctly for long term dental health and a healthy bite that lasts your whole life. Smilepoint Orthodontics provides orthodontic services to children, teens, and adults that can improve not just the look of your smile, but also the health of your bite. Correcting the alignment of the bite can also help alleviate jaw pain and other dentofacial conditions.
We believe that you need to be comfortable from the moment you walk in the door. We do our best to make our practice an inviting, relaxing place for you or your child to come for treatment. We are also committed to being compassionate about the services we perform. Having your teeth straighten with braces is not always the most comfortable experience, so we do what we can do to minimize pain and help our patients manage the pain they do experience.
We offer the choice between traditional metal braces and Invisalign. Traditional metal braces are the right choice if your bite requires a complicated alignment; they are also the faster way to straighten your teeth, so if you want to complete treatment quickly, traditional metal braces are the right choice for you.
Invisalign is a great choice for adults and teens who require only simple adjustments, as well as for people who want to avoid the metal look of traditional braces. If your teen is active in sports or plays an instrument such as the trumpet or flute, invisalign will keep them active in their extracurricular activity while they can pursue straight teeth. If you child suffers from asthma and uses steroid based inhalers frequently, the use of Invisalign can help prevent mouth sores.
Call Smilepoint Orthodontics today to schedule a free consultation appointment.

Status: Calm
Song: Modena City Ramblers: I cento passi
I think it was as appartain again to that group of Italian students. A strange sensation full me today, when I entered to the Assembly Hall, convinced to watch the first film of the Italian film season (mafia, camorra films, etc). That's the way of my ex teachers to express the repulse to this kind of activities. Yes, the fact of study in the languages school yet, has the vantage: I can assist to some activities of Italian yet without problems.
Everything started with a introduction of a teacher, that I tried not to see his face... He talked a little, I think the most important thing he said is that these films, chosen by the Italian departament, tell true stories, not like American stories of mafia, as The Godfather. Then of some minutes of distraction, I could concentrate myself in the film, One Hundred Steps, that tells the story of Peppino Impastato. Touching.
In that two hours I felt strange, as nothing had changed since last year. I don't appartain now to that classes, as I know how to deffend myself with Italian language. Somebody says (as an ex teacher of the Secondary Obligatory) that I should look for a job as a translator. Maybe it could be as easy as say it!

How I Create My Reviews of Your Products, Information, and Services
If you're like me you have dabbled in writing, perhaps many different writing styles all your life. You just like to write, but because writing is mostly an art form you may have found it difficult to get organized and set a schedule to keep you writing every day. You have to wait for the mood or muse to strike you.
And like me, perhaps you have shelves filled with reflections, information, how-tos, that you have started but because you go off onto a different tack with every new sentence you write, you never finish what you begin. That tendency, by the way, just shows that we have the ability to be prolific writers. It is not a bad tendency, just an untamed one.
My Mission
I would like to make it my mission to help folks like you while helping myself find information and programs in the industry that will help us learn how to write about our passions; how to tame those untamed imaginations whether it is to entertain our grandchildren, write for our peers, disseminate information or earn a living through writing the best website content that we can possibly write. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing at this time in my life than learning through teaching the art of writing.
I think I can help you understand the basics of many different types of writing and show you how you may be able to earn a living on the internet with your writing as well. Please help me know how I can better do that for you.
I have put myself in the learner's position along with you because I have been and I know I will continue to be learning my entire life.
However, there are things that I have already learned and would like to share with you now:
- I have learned how to choose a passion and how to get it out into the world of internet searchers.
- I have learned how to discipline myself enough to stay writing every day and
- I have learned a few things about what researchers like yourself might want to know about quality writing.
These are the things I want to share with you as I continue to learn from you.
The Art of Research
I do have a friend who has trained me in the art of research. He is a trained attorney and has lived by the rules of investigation that he learned in law school all of his life. I use those rules of investigation and verification in all of the articles I share on this blog. I will use already researched information as I can find it, and let you know the source of that research in so far as I am able to find it. Please go now to How To Know What People Want – Customer Motivation – Products and let me know in an email at firstname.lastname@example.com what you think. It's only by writing, critiquing, getting critiqued that we will become better writers and perhaps the best writer we can me.
There are many different styles of writing and where there are science and research necessary for the appropriate communication on that topic, I will share that research and science with you where appropriate.
Many Surveys
Even though to be completely thorough my specialty would require that I do lots of surveys with individual writers about the things I will share, simply because writing is, as I said above, more of an artistic reflection and communication of personal experience.
Your Product Content Review
But since that may not be practical for me to do in the beginning, I am offering to you reading this, as part of my venture into sharing how to write quality content, to offer to review any page of your website you send me to critique. Just send me the link and your email and I will email you my critique of the content of your page. This way you will get a free critique and I will have the opportunity to hone my critiquing skills. So, put those page links in my email at beth@writing quality content.com.

How An Elephant Taught Me to Deal with Drama
How often do you experience something painful, either emotionally or physically, and you fairly quickly find yourself getting dramatic about it? That is, how do you deal with drama?
By that, I just mean getting pretty emotionally jolted or worked up when something unexpected happens.
Or maybe you don't get worked up, but you do start to tell yourself stories about what this incident must mean about you, your life, your past or your future?
I want to share a story about that time in Thailand when an elephant stepped on my toe.
Sounds like a great set up to a joke, right?! I wish it were.
At the beginning of our 2.5 week trip, we had the pleasure of spending an entire day with a pack of elephants at Patera Elephant Farm in Chiang Mai.
Here, every person gets the opportunity to feed, bathe and care for a pachyderm for the day.
While feeding my teenage elephant, Nam, one of the little babies who was about 3 years old had taken a liking to me (or maybe I took a liking to her, let's be honest).
(Here is my little friend, pre-toe step. More pics and a video below!)
Anyway, she kept coming over to play. And while these animals are quite conscious of the bodies around them, almost humanly so, we got tangled in a dance so to speak and the little baby stepped on my toe.
Let me rephrase 'little', because really, I am talking about 600 lbs. of elephant weight on my toe! Eeek! How she managed to only get the forth toe, I will never know.
You know those moments that are so incredibly painful they take your breath away?
That was this.
I froze in both pain and fear as she swaggered her cute little self away. Elephants are SO gentle that I really believe had she known she stepped on my toe, she would have said she was sorry:)
When our group gathered with our guides, I limped over as smoothly as I could, not wanting to let on to what just happened.
My attempt at composure was not because I was trying to 'tough it out' or push down my own suffering, but rather because I noticed that the moment the pain set in I started to panic!
My mind was RACING.
"Is it broken? What if I need surgery? What if I can't walk? I have broken my toe before and I couldn't put on a shoe for weeks! Do I need a doctor? Where will I find a doctor? Will it ruin our trip? This is really bad, omg!!!"
Have you ever had something difficult happen, and right in the middle of feeling the actual pain, disappointment, or hurt, your mind zooms like a rocket into the future about what it all means?
It's a commonplace go to when we feel vulnerable.
There was also something else I noticed.
Because of the state I was in, I had a sense that if I told the other participants what happened, THEIR fears and concerns about the whole thing would get tangled up with mine.
I would likely allow their opinions, ideas and worries to have a strong influence over my experience as opposed to ME deciding how I wanted this experience to go.
At that moment, it felt more empowering to breathe and do my best to stay calm, and not let my pain or panic get the best of me. It's hard to deal with drama!
When we are injured, physically or emotionally, there are usually two things that happen to us.
One of my favorite meditation teachers, Tara Brach, calls it the TWO ARROWS.
The Buddha tells the parable, "If you get struck by an arrow, do you then shoot another arrow into yourself?"
The first arrow is the THING that happened. The elephant stepped on my toe. The guy broke up with you. You had a bad experience at work. Someone yelled at you. You got very sick. Etc.
This first arrow, so to speak, is largely now out of our control. It happened. It is happening. It is what is real. We can't change it.
This doesn't mean this thing is not painful, disappointing or uncomfortable. The pain (again emotional and physical) of these situations is quite real.
But the second arrow is the one we have more control over. This is the fear, blame or worry that we bring to the situation.
The second arrow usually is the one that says, "How could this happen to me? Why do I attract bad things? Will I ever find happiness? What did I do to bring this on? Who can I blame for it?"
It's the STORY we tell ourselves about what is happening.
Interestingly, the second arrow is also quite painful. Maybe more so because who responds well when we are pressured to answer these kinds of 'unanswerable' questions?
But this is the arrow that we have some control over.
Each time my mind wanted to wander into the future, trying to give my experience some meaning that didn't yet exist, I would simply breathe and bring my focus to my toe.
It would have been easy to fall into stories like 'ALL elephants are dangerous.' Or 'this was a terrible idea, now my vacation will be ruined.' Or 'I must have done something to deserve it.'
But to badly deal with drama, as in DRAMATIZING the pain (i.e. making a story about it), would have made it all worse. It would have been like shooting a second arrow into myself.
I just kept breathing. I sat down and took a moment. I put my leg up. I drank some water. I sent a boatload of love to my toe, to my little elephant friend and to myself.
The next time you find yourself in a painful experience, I invite you to do the following.
1. First, pause.
Before you react, take a moment to sit down and just be still.
2. Then, recognize what is actually happening in this moment. Not what you think it means about you now that you have been 'injured.' But what is ACTUALLY happening inside your body and heart at that moment.
3. Finally, allow yourself to open up to a greater sense of presence. This sense of presence will allow deeper pieces of wisdom to rise up within you.
This wisdom will likely direct you as to what actions you may need to take next.
By taking this time, we move away from simply reacting to a more compassionate approach, which is responding with more clarity.
It worked out that my toe is indeed fractured. And in some ways, I am quite certain Life is encouraging me to slow down and chill out. The last few months have brought on a lot. (That's for another post.)
Fortunately, it did not in any way ruin my vacation. It was the best trip of my whole life. And I love elephants now more than ever. I mean, how could you not? Check out some of these pics.
This video is of a baby who is only 2 weeks old (he is not the one who stepped on my toe). They can walk within an hour of being born. So he is just playing and slipping and sliding in the mud.
Below, I would love for you to share: what came to mind for you when reading this? Is there an area of your life you feel you are shooting yourself with a second arrow? What can you do to shift that? How do YOU deal with drama? I would love to hear from you.
With love,
Erin Stutland

OMG. I SO needed this today. I've been feeling down for days because of getting a "no" from a festival I applied for. I've been shooting that 2nd arrow into myself for 3 days! Moving on.
I LOVE elephants, so reading this made me think "one day, I'm going there, and I'll help take care of them for a day too!" Didn't know that was an option – sounds amazing!
Also, love the double arrow analogy – completely resonates with me!
Hope your toe is starting to feel better with rest!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your post today Erin – great lesson, and one I've been trying to incorporate into my life recently. I constantly find myself inventing stories around the little mishaps in life, and suddenly I've put myself in not so good places.
Great pics – one question though – why were you wearing flip flops around an elephant!!!! Sorry, the Jewish mama in me couldn't resist.
Oh wow the second arrow resonates with me so much. I just didn't get a job I applied for and I was pretty gutted about the whole thing. I allowed myself to believe a bunch of terrible things about myself for days. It was absolutely debilitating. Thank you for this.
I was drawn to this because a girlfriend of mine just sent me information on elephants!I'm glad I read it, because it couldn't be more relevant! The physical and emotional, are delicately interwoven! You handled it so well, great job! Wow, and what great experience to have! Namaste.
LOVED your article, Erin, thank you so much for sharing! I have been thinking about this very topic all week as Lucas left for Maine on Wednesday. We made a pact that we were not going to shoot ourselves with a second arrow (love that metaphor!) even though most people think a loved one moving is cause for sadness. We turned it around and were so happy for each other and ourselves for this new chapter and all the exciting opportunities it will bring. When he pulled out of the driveway, I didn't even cry! I had really come to believe that all is working out perfectly…
Love to your toe!!!!
Wow! This is such a poignant, & perfect way to put this! I guy I've been in love with for a while, just got engaged(supposedly.). I all at once knew this was going to happen, was devastated(on some level), and also relieved. I hadn't done much to let him know. So I've been shooting myself with the "I didn't do enough" arrow. Over and over. But if I'm honest, it feels better than I care to admit. Because now I don have to go around and around, in my head, of, "Will it?" "Will it not?" "What should I be doing/trying?" "Should I just give up(Noooooo………..)?" Imma try hard not to shoot myself anymore. And breathe through the discomfort. Thanks! <3
I truly understand about pain, especially emotional pain. However, I have prevented physical pain by immediately using Arnica gel whenever I have any injury. I have a tube on every level of my home and never leave home without a tube either.
Fabulous post! And so very apropos for me right now. First of all, just seeing and hearing about those special, sweet adorable creatures lifted my spirits. What a beautiful thing that you got to get so close to these elephants! Love!
Secondly, I've had a cough/cold for over two months now. It's been really challenging not to go negative and shoot that second arrow into myself with all kinds of worrisome thoughts. It's been challenging for me to keep positive when I feel crappy. But, that's exactly what I am practicing today. After hoping I would get over this with all my lovely herbs, plenty of water, rest, nourishing foods, acupuncture, Jin Shin Jyutsu, etc. I've decided it's time to be much more rigorously loving and positive. So, I'm setting my timer on my iPhone for every 15 minutes today. And every 15 minutes I'm doing something to practice feeling amazing. My friend and I call it "feel good time." And sometimes we text each other during the day and do it together. Just now, I did a happy dance. Pumping my arms in the air and smiling. It is amazing to understand how much control you have over our emotions regardless of the circumstances. I've been doing this for years and it really works! Once you practice being happy (for absolutely no other reason other than it feels good) you can call it up easily!
This is slightly different from your experience, Erin, and I'm totally in awe of your ability to take a course of action in the moment that was not only best for you but helpful for everyone around you. I'm sure your story will come in handy for me and other situations. Thanks for writing it!
Darn those second arrows. I have shot myself repeatedly. Sometimes going back months later to give myself yet another whack. It serves no purpose beyond making me feel inadequate. It's like an addiction. Pfft with that. No more.
I would not shoot those second arrows at a friend so what does that say about me & how I treat myself? Ugh.
These days, your meditation "I am enough, I do enough, I have enough… today", is a lifesaver I murmur over & over while focusing on my breath & centering. There's plenty of uncertainty around me but It doesn't have to overwhelm me.
P.S. Your "you are not done" email made me catch my breath. And I see a connection between that & these arrows. But that's another tale.
Hope your tootsie is on the mend!
Love & light…..
Wonderful analogy Erin. I recently lost my job of 11 years through no fault of my own and instead of shooting myself with any more arrows I told myself that this is an opportunity for something bigger and better!
I was so amazed by my lack of emotional distress that I asked myself if I was really checking in with myself.Hmm well apparently my heart and soul knew long before I did (although they did tell me last year it was time to move on and I listened) so now I am focusing on the present moments in my life and working out a plan to bring in the money I lost.
So far things have been working out great! But I have been an arrow stabber of myself for years over a man I had a 14 yr relationship with whom I finally broke far enough away from so as not to hurt as much if he dates others (which he isn't). Regardless, I started asking myself "Would you treat others the way he treats you?" and when my answer was NEVER! I asked myself, "Then why do you allow yourself to be treated like that by him?"
So that was it and I said goodbye in a ritual and have steered clear of him since.
Namaste Erin and I hope your toe heals quickly. Elephants are the BEST ever!! I really love the African Elephant with those big ears.
IThis was timely as I know or hope that changes are coming my way. Your mi d races with thoughts of but, what if…I don't have enough money, I have to owe on my taxes, not, get a nice return, get the job in the town that I want, but, can't afford the rent!!! On and on. This came at a good time. I trust and I'm staying in the moment…
My heart just melted when I saw these photos of you and your little elephant. It's the cracking open of our hearts to connect to these amazing creatures from Mama Earth, or any creature like this that tugs at our heartstrings, that just make any day better, especially the days when you feel vulnerable. Your article was fantastic and the connection to the elephants just made it so much better…. I can keep look at these photos all day, Erin! 🙂
What a beautiful example of saving a situation when you think it might be a disaster. I especially like this part:
"I just kept breathing. I sat down and took a moment. I put my leg up. I drank some water. I sent a boatload of love to my toe, to my little elephant friend and myself."
It shows exactly how love trumps everything else.
thank you for sharing.
I read this on the way home from therapy where I was speaking about my reaction to a particular person and how angry I get regardless of the situation. It's emotional pain and I am all in with this post. Somewhere in me I know all these steps but sometimes the universe intervenes and speaks to you to make sure you're really listening. Thank you for this, for the breathing space and reflection. Speedy recovery and hugs xoxoxo
Love this. I do this much too often. Work, personal. I have a great relationship but we live in 2 different states. I love to send that second arrow and question how we get to the next step. I am working on not doing this.
This is a brilliant reminder to us all about the second arrow. Great blog post. I have gotten so much better over the years about not shooting that second arrow but it still sneaks in there sometimes. So thank you Erin. The elephants are amazing. Keep sending the love to your toe!! I African reflexology the fourth toe is your activity toe, so yes the universe was most definitely giving you a message to slow down.
I am such a futurecaster! I am always in what if mode and especially when something big or painful happens my mind gets the best of me. I cut my finger on a knife a few weeks ago and right away called my husband and said "ok so I'm trying not to panic but I know what I'm going to be like so I'm calling to let you know I sliced it bad" I had never done that before so I wasn't sure if I needed stitches but I was sure I was going to have a full blown panic attack and I had to work in an hour! Turns out I just needed a lot of pressure for a long time but I was fine. I also had a procedure done in the hospital last week and I really had to practice deeps breaths and being present while I waited in the prep room for an hour, no sedation lol. At one point my heart rate was 145. Laying in a bed staring at hospital walls and listening to the commotion around me was surely a test , my goal in Life is to learn how to stay present because of this anxiety issue! Elephants are one of my totems so every time I see them in my house (not the real ones they wouldn't fit!) I will now think of this lesson, and every time I have an OMG moment I will think of the real elephant in the room so to speak 🙂 thank you for sharing xo
I was just about to 'shoot the second arrow' when I read this. Thanks for the reminder that this is the part I have control over! After I read this a flood of understanding and 'this is really not a big deal' washed over me. Going to deal with this scheduling conflict from this relaxed state going forward! Thanks Erin!
I really enjoyed this post, and wish I had read it sooner, but maybe reading it now really helps me to see me in action doing this very thing! I had a situation just last night where the new supervisor of the new job I am starting on Monday called to ask about something they were questioning from my application. I've already given notice, changed and updated all my information for my new position, and the first thing I started to do was panic and worry and think they were going to withdraw their offer. I did what you said-tried to focus on other things, just tried to wait it out, but did spend quite a bit of time playing the what if game. In the end, my position is secure, but the panic is definitely real! And those questions-I think I asked almost all those same ones! Great refocusing and reminder to not let "things" out of my control try to control my here and now!
Erin, this happened to me TODAY in Chiang mai. Elephant stepped on my foot. I want to elaborate further but need some time to process what you just wrote. I needed this sage wisdom more than you can possibly know.

Opened my mailbox to three new arrivals. Delicious card from a Postcrosser in Muar, Malaysia!
She tells me the card "shows the traditional delicacies (kue means delicious) in Malaysia. Most of them are sweet. 🙂 "
I love that Snoopy Nengajyo card from Zama, Japan, received thanks to the Postcrossing Forum "Snoopy/Peanuts" tag. Its backside is beautiful, too! Scroll down & check out the stamps & washi tape. This Postcrosser writes, in part: "I sent the same one as this postcard to Singapore Philatelic Museum. I received a big nice card from Museum! Did you receive it, too? :)"
That beautiful natural view comes from a Postcrosser in Środa Śląska, Poland, where it was -1 Centigrade when she prepared this for me just over a week ago. Yikes! She sends me warm greetings, though, and tells me, "I like sending postcards to people all over the world."
Stamps, stamps, stickers, washi tape, & postmarks. The Malaysian stamps are very nice, & as I noted earlier, I especially love the washi tape & Peanuts stamp on the postcard from Japan.

Best Creeds, Confessions and Catechisms of the Christian Church
Our faith is 2000 years old. We have a long obedience in the same direction, affirming the same truths. We are wise to be familiar with the many wonderful orthodox creeds, confessions, and catechisms of the Christian church.
Apostles Creed (~2nd century)
Nicene Creed (325)
Athanasian Creed (5th century)
Definition of the Council of Chalcedon (451)
The Canons of the Council of Orange (529)
London Baptist Confession (1689)
Westminster Standards: Westminster Confession of Faith, Westminster Shorter Catechism, and Westminster Larger Catechism (1646)
Heidelberg Catechism (1563) – Note: Kevin DeYoung has a book coming out on the HC next year entitled The Good News We Almost Forgot. I would be surprised if it was not excellent. CJ Mahaney says, "Doubtless this will be the finest book I will have ever read on the Heidelberg Catechism. It will certainly be the first."
Belgic Confession (1618)
Canons of Dordt (1618)
Second Helvetic Confession (1536)
Genevan Catechism (1536)
The Thirty Nine Articles (Anglican, 1572) and Augsburg Confession (Lutheran) are not bad and worth familiarizing oneself.
Also of note is the Westminster Shorter Catechism for kids – the entire list of questions and answers can be found here for free.
Top 5 Childrens Books
Someone asked for this list. I have no children and am not very knowledgeable here. Hence, someone who has children and better resources please post books that should be listed here.
1. The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones
This book is a monumental achievement. I really don't know what parents did for their children before this book. I have heard that The Big Picture Story Bible is also good.
2. Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
These are classic books and solid Christian allegory. When they get older, have them read the Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien
3. The Poison Cup by R.C. Sproul
Yes, R.C. Sproul has written some children's books. The Poison Cup is the only one I am familiar with, but I have heard that The Lightlings and The King Without a Shadow are also good.
4. Window on the World by Daphne Spraggett and Jill Johnstone
This is like Operation World for kids. It will introduce them to world missions and prayer for other people groups.
This is the Westminster Shorter Catechism for Children. Also, the entire list of questions and answers can be found here for free.

Amjad Malik, the chairman of the supporting committee for Pakistanis residing in Saudi Arabia, announced a few days ago that 50 thousand Pakistani workers have left Saudi Arabia due to the economic crisis.
He said that these workers have left the country due to payment delays. More than 2'500'000 Pakistanis are living in Saudi Arabia. Some informed sources said that 6500 Pakistani workers haven't received any salary for 10 months. Previously Pakistan's Embassy in Riyadh had distributed food packages among Pakistani citizens. As a result of the continuing deficit, as well as the economic downturn and lower oil prices on world markets, many companies in Saudi Arabia laid off their workers who were mainly from South and South-East Asia.

The Danger Of Faggotry
Twenty years ago anyone in the American media supporting "gay rights" would have been tarred and feathered and run out of Hollyweird on a rail. Today it's just the opposite. Watch any show, I don't care if it's a movie, sit-com or crime show; they all treat conservative views on homosexuality as something downright criminal. They call us bigots, homophobes, prejudiced and any other expletive they can dream up. We are the bad guys. And to make matters worse, the Jews that instigated this outrage have forced their views down the throats of every other western nation on earth. Is it any wonder the Moslems call us the "Great Satan"?
Our approval of this perverse lifestyle is one of the cornerstones of their hatred for America, and rightly so. Personally I'm ashamed to be an American these days. It represents nothing but depravity, communist lies, immorality, decadence, hedonism, gluttony, and a complete lack of national shame in our behavior. The only thing left literally, is to approve pedophilia and believe it or not I see that becoming a reality as well, in the near future. That may sound fantastic, but how many of you would have believed we would publicly proclaim faggotry as "wholesome" and normal? I can't think of anything that disgusts me deeper than faggotry unless it's pedophilia. Just thinking about the act of two men getting it on flat turns my stomach and instills in me a rage that I can barely contain . . .
It's an unnatural, filthy act that spreads all kinds of virulent, deadly diseases and promotes the destruction of the family unit, the backbone of society. Anyone still thinking clearly about this issue knows beyond any doubt that AIDS was brought into this country by a South African faggot back in the early 80's. Patient zero was a frequent flyer on international flights, and he stopped off in faggot bath houses, gay bars, and even airport bathrooms, screwing every faggot he could get his hands on, spreading his disease like wildfire. The first reported cases in this country were in San Francisco. Ever since the disease was finally identified, fags have violently fought to deny they are responsible, blaming it on heterosexual men instead. The trouble with that excuse is that the disease started with faggots and jumped to normals through a couple of bisexual lowlifes that came home and gave it to poor innocent little wifey. This world is jam-packed with lowlifes . . . sigh . . .
I remember when that worthless piece of shit Bill Clinton first let fags into the military. I knew it would be chaos, and it has. The Jew run media has done its level best to suppress the truth about it, refusing to run any story that reports trouble in the ranks. And trouble there has been. Tons of it. Fags cannot work in close quarters on a ship full of nice, juicy young men without drooling and trying their damnedest to screw everyone. One of the most common complaints from servicemen has been that these homos will sneak into their bunks at night and try to perform oral sex on them . . . without their permission, and in other cases trying to rape the smaller more defenseless ones. That's because homosexuality isn't an "alternate lifestyle" as the liberals so love to label it, it's a mania, an obsession that fags can't control. It's as if they're possessed by some demon of perversion that forces them to seek out as many partners as possible, as fast as they can. A homo
will have sex with a hundred men in one night if he can find that many. There is literally no limit to their lust . . .
But as bad as all this is, there's another, even darker side to these lowlifes. Pedophilia. The National Law Enforcement database reported five years ago that a fag is 50 times more likely to molest a child than a straight person. God's beard! 50!! And knowing this, the liberals and their Jew masters have been pushing hard to get them allowed to teach our grade-schoolers. Do you want these freaks anywhere near your kids or grandkids? Of course not. But how many of you, knowing this grim fact, did anything to try and resist it? I did, but sadly, I'm in the minority. Most people did the same thing they did when liberals started taking over the government, and when creeps like Obama got "elected". Absolutely nothing. This is why I said I'm ashamed to be called an American. When will people finally say "Enough!"? That's the question I ask myself all the time. I walk through a crowd and look at all the faces as they pass, wondering how these sheeple can blithely go about their daily lives knowing that they're directly responsible for the evil that is now running not only our homeland, but most of the free world. They just don't seem to care at all. And that scares the living hell out of me . . .
The time will soon be upon us when it will be too late to take any action of any kind, no matter how limited. Freedom is a funny thing. When in full bloom it is a powerful and undefeatable thing. But once it has been eaten away even a tiny bit, it loses its invulnerability and evil can begin to worm it's way inside and eat at it until it crumbles like a worm eaten piece of furniture that suddenly collapses one day under the weight of it's own rotten wood. We are now at the point where so much has been damaged that we will soon be beyond repair. At least I'll be able to say I had no hand in it, that I fought tooth and nail to prevent it. Can you?
"Political correctness is a form of bigotry behind which cowards hide."

The Top 5 Audio Recorders Reviewed
A portable audio recorder is a small device that is going to help you to record what you need on the go. The traditional voice recorders don't have the best sound quality, but the portable audio recorders on the market today are better than ever. If you are a part of the music or media industry, then you'll know that the best audio recorder is a must. While music and media moguls will need a good audio recorder in their work, they're still invaluable to those who need recordings of a high-quality. You can record everything from meetings and interviews to lectures at school and the latest hits from your garage band. Audio recorders have evolved in the last forty years, from small radios with tiny cassette tapes to the portable and digital recorders that we have today.
We no longer have to deal with shabby sound quality and having to flip the tape over when you need to record on the other side. Instead, we deal with excellent digital sound quality and continuous recording as long as you have the memory for it. We live a life on the go, which means that you need the best portable audio recorder that can stay portable.
How to Choose An Audio Recorder
Several factors will come into your decision to purchase a portable audio recorder. Overall, it's going to depend on you and your needs as to what you buy for your personal audio recorder. Some people need all the features where others don't need as many bells and whistles in their audio recorder. The things you need to consider include:
- Your budget. Some recorders are expensive, and others aren't, but what you can afford counts.
- Tracks. Some people need more than one track recorded at once, and so you need to decide whether you are only recording one thing at a time or not.
- Your usage. What do you need it for? Is it for occasionally recording meetings or is it for recording sounds in the field? It matters as this can tell you what you need.
With this in mind, let's check out five products that are fighting for space in the market.
Best Audio Recorders
1. Zoom H4N PRO Digital Multitrack Recorder
One of the first things that draw your eye to this digital recorder is the top panel that features a 1.9 inch LCD backlit display. All of your recording options are displayed here, and you can choose three modes with this audio recorder. You have MTR, stereo and the 4CH. The LCD panel also has the buttons you need to get it working: record, play, reverse and forward. The Zoom H4N PRO Digital Multitrack Recorder can be mounted on a tripod and given its sensitive nature; it's not recommended that you record handheld on this one. Otherwise, you'll pick up the sound coming from your hands.
It's a lightweight recorder at only 300g, and the body of it is perfect for field use as it can be carried anywhere. Whether you're recording whispers or ear-shattering heavy metal music, this recorder has a sound pressure capability of 140dB; so you're covered. In a similar fashion to other models on the market from Zoom, the Zoom H4N PRO Digital Multitrack Recorder has stereo microphone options that can be changed. This way, you can point the recorder in the right direction and get the exact recording that you need. If you need time-coded audio, the Zoom H4N PRO Digital Multitrack Recorder can be plugged into your DSLR – as long as yours has the external microphone output, of course.
Pros & Cons

- Light option for easy carrying
- Has excellent audio refining with Cubase

- Has reported to have some inline signal handling issues
- Cannot record handheld

2. Roland R-07
There are plenty of options out there for audio recorders, and the Roland R-07 has risen above the competition in a big way. It's rated that well, that people are calling it "the last recorder you will ever need." Whether you need a pocket mixer or a portable microphone, the Roland R-07 has it all. The most unique feature about the Roland R-07 is the face that you can monitor it wirelessly and control it from your tablet or phone.
You can even control it from your Apple Watch. The Roland R-07 is an easy accessory for anyone who is interested on being on the go while they record. For filmmakers out there, the Roland R-07 offers such an excellent recording solution that it's perfect for gear bags on the field.
One of the best features is the fact that there is a low cut filter at a variety of stages/ this means that you can choose to remove low sounds like wind. Musicians will love the tuner and metronome settings that come with the Roland R-07 and the rehearsal function will be enough to support your next recording session.
Pros & Cons

3. Sony ICDUX560 BLK
When you're looking for an audio recorder with built-in stereo capabilities and voice-operated recording, you're in the right place. The Sony ICD-UX560 BLK is small but capable enough to capture all your meetings and lectures, though some have reported that it's not the best for larger meetings. This audio recorder is thin and light, and the settings can be optimised easily for every situation that you need to record. You can search through it for your audio files and music, and you can even monitor the recording levels as they happen.
If you put this recorder on a belt pouch or tripod, you'll get some excellent results more than if you were to put it in your pocket. It's an unobtrusive option as you don't need to put the recorder up to someone's face to get the right result. You may think that your smartphone can do the same job as an audio recorder, but you'd be wrong!
Pros & Cons
- Up to 4GB of storage built directly into the recorder
- Wide microphone to suit large lecture halls
- USB is built in for easy connection to the computer

4. Tascam DR-05
The biggest competitor that Zoom has is Tascam, and for a good reason. The Tascam DR-05 is excellent for the budget, robust in its features and has a variety of mic configurations. The omnidirectional microphone gathers sound from your surroundings efficiently, so you can record what you need from a considerable distance if necessary. One of the top features is the LCD front screen, which can help you to navigate through your recordings. You can change the pitch, repeat and loop sounds and get an EQ setting called chromatic tuner.
As this is AA battery-operated, you get the flexibility of using portable batteries or connecting it up via a USB or an AC adapter. This is a recorder that offers you an alternative to the popular models on the market, and it provides you with the feature of level align, which can add a compression filter to even out the uneven volume levels.
Pros & Cons
- Easy to capture sounds in meetings
- Inbuilt mics are perfect for location
- Decently priced and one of the cheapest out there
- Plastic chassis, so doesn't feel particularly robust
- Sound can be blurry when held
- Discontinued Model replaced by Improved DR-05X
- Built-in omni-directional microphones
- Stereo mini headphone jack for external stereo microphones (provides plug-in power) / External line input
- Tempo change (VSA) function for adjusting the speed from 0.5 to 1.5 times (in 0.1 increments)

5. Sony ICD-PX370

ROBBLOG #688 A Bleeker Street January Day
Nick Nolte: Baby Jane and Blanche haven't been around for a bit. That situation is rectified below.
On Bleeker Street
It's a wet, dreary January afternoon on Bleeker Street. Jane is having a gander out the window. Blanche is sitting in her usual spot- in her wheelchair next to the fireplace, working on a crossword puzzle.
Jane: Holy F*&% it's a depressing day- ain't it? It's like the world has come to an end.
Blanche: Oh now Jane Dear, it's not that bad really- is it?
Jane: Well, ~puff, puff~ I don't see nothing great about it either. Lookit across the street. That Mr. Bargepole is out there playing with water in the gutter in front of his house. He's raking leaves outta the water and shovin' them into a garbage bag. Why that old rat bastard oughta just jump right in with the leaves.
Blanche: Really Jane! Have some humanity. Mr. Bargepole is a very helpful neighbour. Remember he's run to the grocery store for us several times in the last few weeks alone.
Jane: Yabutt, he won't go to no Liquor Store to pick me up a bottle of my Gin. ~puff~ I gotta drag my ass all the way down to 5th and Green Street and pick it up myself- and in all that F^#*ing rain too!
Blanche: Now Jane Dear, you know Mr. Bargepole has his religious beliefs and drinking spirits is not one of them.
Jane: Well, he feels the same way about fags too. All I asked last week is for him to pick me up a pack of Player's- unfiltered, cigarettes and he goes all ape shit. What a huge P*!#*@!!
Blanche: Jane!! Language! I'll not have you talk about that nice man in that manner. You should be ashamed of yourself. ~pause~ What's a six letter word meaning to help? ~pause~ Oh! Assist.
Jane: Hah! Truer words Blanche. He is an ASS! ~drag, puff, puff~
Blanche: Just because he won't sacrifice his values to get you your booze and ciggies he's an ass?
Jane: Huh! You mean his Christian values don't you? His lips are glued to the butt of that preacher down there at Bleeker Pentecostal Church...And. For. What? Salvation? Poppycock! ~puff, puff~
There ain't no salvation for him or anyone else on this great green earth for that matter. Sheer, absolute nonsense that's what all that Jezus stuff is.
Blanche: Oh and just what makes you so damn smart in this regard Jane?
Jane: What makes me so damn smart Blanche? I'll tell you what makes me so damn smart...I'm smart because of what I got right up here. ~drag, puff, puff~ It's called knowin' stuff.
Blanche: Knowing stuff? That gives you the right to pontificate about a nice old man? Why Jane Dear if I wasn't in this filthy, degrading, ass-chafing, smelly, creaky wheelchair I'd stand right up, walk over to you standing there at that window and give you a swift backhander right across that smug, boozy, know-it-all piece of shite you refer to as your face!
Jane: But you are Blanche. But. You. Are in a chair- ain't ya? ~puff, puff, puff, puff~ Hah Hah Ha!
Now shut up and finish that blasted crossword of yours and I'll go and make your tea.
Blanche: Lovely. Uh...Thank you... Jane Dear?
Jane: I hears yah. Yer F*#*@ing welcome Sister.

The rate of mortgage delinquency in Massachusetts and in the nation overall has dropped, according to a report that CoreLogic, a global property data and analytics firm, released Tuesday.
In Massachusetts, the rate of mortgages that are 30 days or more delinquent dropped 0.9 percentage points to 3.8 in April, down from 4.7 percent in April 2017. The rate of serious delinquencies also decreased from 2 percent to 1.6. The foreclosure inventory rate, which measures the share of mortgages in some stage of the foreclosure process, slipped from 0.8 percent to 0.6 percent.
The report also shows that, nationally, 4.2 percent of mortgages were in some stage of delinquency (30 days or more past due, including those in foreclosure) in April 2018, representing a 0.6 percentage point decline in the overall delinquency rate compared with April 2017, when it was 4.8 percent.
"Job growth, home-price appreciation, and full-doc underwriting have pushed delinquency and foreclosure rates to the lowest point in more than a decade," said Frank Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic. "The latest CoreLogic Home Price Index report revealed the annual national home price growth was 7.1 percent in May, the fastest annual growth in four years. U.S. employers have also continued to employ more individuals, as employment rose by 2.4 million throughout the last 12 months, with 213,000 jobs added last month alone. Together, this heightened financial stability is pushing delinquency and foreclosure rates to record lows."
There was even better news on foreclosures. Nationally, the April 2018 foreclosure inventory rate was the lowest for that month in 11 years. As of April 2018, that rate was 0.6 percent, down 0.1 percentage points from 0.7 percent in April 2017. Since August 2017, the foreclosure inventory rate has been steady at 0.6 percent.
The rate for early-stage delinquencies – defined as 30 to 59 days past due – was 1.8 percent in April 2018, down from 2.2 in April 2017. The share of mortgages that were 60 to 89 days past due in April 2018 was 0.6 percent, unchanged from April 2017. The serious delinquency rate – defined as 90 days or more past due, including loans in foreclosure – was 1.9 percent in April 2018, down from 2.0 percent in April 2017. The April 2018 serious delinquency rate was the lowest for that month since 2007 when it was 1.6 percent.
As a result of the 2017 hurricane season, Florida and Texas are the only states showing significant gains in 90-day delinquency rates. According to the CoreLogic Storm Surge Report, Florida has the most densely populated and longest coastal area and thus the most exposure to storm surge flooding (compared with the 19 states analyzed in the report), with more than 2.7 million at-risk homes across five risk categories (Category 1 – Category 5 storms). Louisiana ranks second with more than 817,000 at-risk homes, while Texas sits at third with more than 543,000. A major storm did not strike Louisiana in 2017, but Florida and Texas are still recovering from Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, respectively.
The data in the report account for only first liens against a property and do not include secondary liens. The delinquency, transition, and foreclosure rates are measured only against homes that have an outstanding mortgage. Homes without mortgage liens are not typically subject to foreclosure and were excluded from the analysis.
Approximately one-third of homes nationally are owned outright and do not have a mortgage.
CoreLogic has approximately 85 percent coverage of U.S. foreclosure data.

5G is making its way to the UK, but it's not the end for 4G! 4G is still the bedrock of our network, connecting people to the services they need and love, right across the UK. Every day, we're building new 4G sites in rural parts of the UK, giving communities a digital connection for the first time.
Unlike 3G to 4G, 5G is not a replacement for 4G. It adds another layer to the network to provide more capacity in the busiest parts of the UK's busiest cities.
What are the benefits of 5G?
When 4G first arrived on our phones in 2012 it was revolutionary. It's shaped how people across the UK communicate, watch, learn and share.
5G will build on that.
Adding 5G to the UK's number one 4G network will increase reliability and keep you connected where you need it most, in the busiest places. 5G will offer you increased speeds, more reliable coverage and reduced latency. This will mean faster downloads of your favourite films and albums, quicker website browsing, and a better streaming experience in busy areas.
How fast will 5G be?
5G has the potential to give you speeds of 1 gigabit per second – that's an incredible milestone to reach. And it can reduce latency from 30-40ms today, to as low as 10ms in the future.
How will 5G and 4G work together?
5G will work hand-in-hand with 4G: when you connect to 5G on EE, you're actually connecting to both the 4G and 5G parts of the network at the same time, and you get the combined power of all that 4G and 5G capacity.
5G isn't a replacement for 4G – it's an addition to our existing award-winning network.
Our 5G roll out will start with the busiest locations in the busiest cities where it can make the biggest difference to the most people.
It's time to get excited about the possibilities of 5G, but don't forget the importance of a great 4G network to enable those possibilities and keep you connected everywhere you go. We certainly won't.

The Fireworks Factory is a large industrial building located in Gongmen City. It was once a family business run by the Peacocks for the manufacturing of fireworks (which they had invented) to be used in city festivals and celebrations. But after Shen came into power in Kung Fu Panda 2, he took over the family business and turned the factory into a foundry for his cannons, using the powder from the fireworks as firepower for the cannonballs.
ExteriorComing soon!
InteriorComing soon!
In Kung Fu Panda 2
As its name suggests, the Factory was used to manufacture fireworks. When Lord Shen returned to Gongmen City and took control, he had his soldiers take the new enormous supply of metal and gunpowder and manufacture dozens of cannons within the Factory, with Shen overseeing the process.
The Fireworks Factory made its next appearance when Shen escaped from the Tower of Sacred Flame after Po and the Furious Five broke out of their chains and destroyed the original cannon. After reaching the Factory via flight, Shen ordered his soldiers to fire his other cannons directly at the tower, aiming to bring it down with Po and the Five inside. They managed to escape, however, and an infuriated Shen ordered his soldiers to prepare the ships and the cannons to begin his conquest earlier than planned. Boss Wolf summoned every wolf in the city to head straight to the factory in order to begin preparations.
The Five later infiltrated the factory, where they saw for themselves just how many cannons Shen had created. Realizing that China would fall should the cannons leave the building, the Five decided to destroy the factory by pushing a cart full of powder kegs inside. Their plan was foiled when Po also infiltrated the factory (despite Tigress' order to stay in Gongmen Jail) in order to confront Shen himself, and the Five were forced to douse the kegs to prevent Po from getting killed in the explosion. During their fight, Shen managed to lure Po in front of his largest cannon, which upon fired sent Po flying out of the factory to his apparent death.
After this battle, Shen had all of his cannons transported out of the factory and onto his ships.

With five ports and thousands of cruise ship stops every year, the cruise industry is one of the biggest industries in Florida. Its proximity to the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean make it a perfect location for leisure travelers from all over the world. With the number of cruises going in and out of Florida, and the number of people on each ship, it's simply a matter of statistics that injuries and accidents will occur.
Slip and fall cruise ship accidents can be especially problematic, where the average age of passengers tends to be around age 49 and older. With older passengers, these types of accidents can result in anything from scrapes and bruises to broken bones and concussions. However, anyone of any age can be hurt in a slip and fall accident.
When the accident isn't your fault
If you suffer an injury on a cruise ship, you might wonder what kind of recourse you have, especially if the accident wasn't your fault. If you believe your slip and fall injury was due to negligent behavior on the part of the cruise line or the crew, it's possible you have a basis for a personal injury claim.
It's a good idea to have an attorney on your side, as injury claims against cruise lines can be complex and frustrating. There is paperwork to file, timelines to adhere to, and experience working with (or against) the cruise line.
Slip and falls on cruise ships
A slip and fall happens when you slip or trip on something, resulting in a fall that causes injury. There are countless reasons you could slip and fall on a cruise ship—tripping over worn carpeting, debris left in a hallway, puddles of water in high-traffic areas, and other hazards.
These accidents can happen on board the ship or off the ship. They can happen in your room, in a bathroom, restaurant, or just about anywhere on the boat. You could also slip, trip, or fall while walking the gangway off the ship or getting on and off tenders (the smaller boats that take you ashore during shore excursions).
Cruise lines owe their passengers a duty of care to keep areas hazard-free and, if conditions are dangerous, to warn passengers of the danger. This could be as simple as putting up a sign alerting passengers that an area of the floor is slippery. When crew members fail to do so, cruise lines may be responsible for a passenger's injury.
Cruise ships can be wonderful vacations, but accidents can happen anywhere. The Fort Lauderdale accident attorneys at Yeboah Law Group have years of experience representing clients injured on Florida cruise ships. We can help with the details of your case and seek compensation on your behalf. Call our South Florida law firm today at 1-800-TELL-SAM or complete our contact form to schedule a free consultation.

Who will represent Australia at Eurovision 2016?
We will know the answer to that question via Conchita at her concert in the Sydney Oprah House on March 3rd.
However Aussie Broadcaster SBS has decided to release a series of clues daily before the announcement. They posted this cryptic clue
Here is our guess based on this clue
A lot of blue Delph in the picture and some good healthy food and an i-pad possibly looking for a room in Stockholm? So maybe Delph/Delta Good Room/Rem – Delta Goodrem?
Furthermore she leads a vegie lifestyle (the breakfast), and one of her favourite drinks is a soy chai latte. She promoted 'So Good' soymilk in Australia.
Then do you remember the 2004 song from the singer called 'Out of the Blue'
So that's our logic on Clue #1
Now there is Clue #2
Now who do we think when we think of piano?
Well my first memory of Delta Goodrem is her at a piano – but that could be said for many other artists. However remember that Goodrem posted pics of her in the studio recently with the words 'In Process' – SEE HERE
Who do you think it is?
