Fourteen-year-old Amy's excitement over her first babysitting job ends when she and her three-year-old charge are kidnapped, but a daily videorecording sent to little Kendra's parents allows Amy to send clues, in hopes of being rescued before the kidnappers decide they no longer need her.
Mark Twain Award, 2011
Reviews provided by Syndetics
School Library Journal ReviewGr 5-8-Amy, 14, is hired by rich Mrs. Edgerton to fill in for her regular nanny. What should have been an easy job, three-year-old Kendra being a peach to watch, turns into a terrifying experience when the two girls are kidnapped and taken to a remote cabin in the woods. The two kidnappers videotape them and send DVDs to the Edgertons to convince them to pay a ransom for Kendra. Amy realizes that the men have no intention of allowing her to leave. She begins to work subtle clues into each video, hoping her best friend will be able to decipher their meaning. Finally, one of her clues pays off and a break is made in the case. Stolen Children features an interesting story and a strong female character, but the language is sometimes stilted and Amy occasionally seems more mature than her years. This book would be a good addition to large collections, or libraries with patrons clamoring for realistic thrillers.-Jessica Miller, New Britain Public Library, CT (c) Copyright 2010.

Author notes provided by SyndeticsPeg Kehret was born in Wisconsin, grew up in Minnesota, spent fourteen years in California, and now lives with her husband in Washington State. They have two grown children, four grandchildren, one dog, and one cat.
Peg's novels for children are regularly recommended by the American Library Association, the International Reading Association, and the Children's Book Council. She has won many state "young reader" or "children's choice" awards. Peg's characters are ordinary kids who find themselves in exciting situations and who use their wits to solve their problems. There is usually humor as well as suspense in her books. A long-time volunteer at The Humane Society, she often uses animals in her stories.

Before she began writing books for children, Peg published plays, short stories, articles, and two books for adults. She is a frequent speaker at conferences for librarians and teachers.

At the age of twelve, Peg had polio and was paralyzed from the neck down. Because she can remember that experience and her year of recovery so vividly, she finds it easy to write in the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen year old. Most of her main characters are that age. Her autobiography, Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio , won the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature.

When she is not writing, Peg likes to watch baseball, bake cookies, and pump her old player piano.

Evening friends! Hope you all enjoyed my holiday pie from McDonald's earlier. I'm tellin' you – they do everything they can to make them the least appealing as possible – but it was delicious. Yesterday while at Walmart I picked up a bag of the Limited Edition Chex Mix – Cocoa flavor. While walking around I was contemplating how this would taste any different than some of the elements of the Turtle Chex Mix and the Dark Chocolate Chex Mix. I am not overly sure where everyone is getting the idea to release Cocoa flavored items – isn't that just fancy pants chocolate?
Over on The Impulsive Buy, I griped that companies are making limited edition bags of snacks in THE BIGGEST BAG EVER. This can be a double edge sword. On one hand – if the snack really sucks, you're not only stuck with the remainder, but most likely enough to feed a small army. On the other hand – if it is really good, then you have more to eat while reviewing your life choices as you consume the entire bag wondering where it all went wrong. I kid. This bag is no exception. I can only assume that they figured that people would be putting this out at a party and would like to have a sizable amount for their guests.
When I opened the bag, I was greeted with the scent of pure chocolate. After inspecting its contents I poured myself a small bowl to examine more closely. This mix is made up of cinnamon roll shaped grahams, chocolate powder covered Chex and pretzels, white chocolate Chex, and "marshmallows". I am not really following the cinnamon roll element in this mix, but they are good. The chocolate coated Chex and pretzels were OK, I really wish they would have baked the chocolate into the Chex or coated it with real chocolate instead of some weird cocoa powder. After reviewing the ingredients, I found that the white chocolate Chex actually have a yogurt flavor coating, it tastes like white chocolate to me. I honestly felt like they were the best part of the mix. The marshmallows were like the ones you find in breakfast cereals, and there were TONS of them – literally it looked like you mixed your Chex Mix with a bag of those tiny styrofoam beads. They are crunchy and delicious and sink the to the bottom of the mix so you can eat them all at the end. Saves me the trouble of eating around all of them to save them for last.
Texture: 3/5 – I know that this is made up of all grains and flour, and what not, but this mix is SO DRY. Pretty much all Chex Mix are, but good grief, my jaw was getting tired from chewing. Treat yourself to a beverage while eating this, you'll need it.
Smell: 4/5 – The chocolate smell was very apparent when opening the bag – but it did not smell like a cup of hot cocoa.
Appearance: 2/5 – The brown powered chocolate all over the place made it look like it was more like Limited Edition Chex Mix – Dirt, than anything else.
Taste: 3.5/5 – Overall, this mix is pretty tasty, but its nothing to write home about. If I had to choose one of the Limited Edition Chex Mix flavors for my holiday party, I can't say I would go to this one as my first choice. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't buy it again – as I can get the Dark Chocolate version and be just as satisfied (and I get little red chocolates in it!)

Disclosure: We are a member of the Nashville Food Bloggers. This review was written after receiving a free meal from Hoss' Loaded Burgers. Our opinion is ours alone and hope you enjoy our take on this Nashville-area eatery.
Ever had a "Juicy Lucy" Burger? You know, a big, tender burger stuffed with cheese on the inside? You take a big bite and the melty-goodness oozes out. Yes, that's what Hoss' Loaded Burgers serves in true Nashville style. Oh, and killer-crispy fries and a homemade Concrete Custard to die for. Known for their signature-style burgers out of their Food Truck since 2011, Hoss' Loaded Burgers is now available in their first brick and mortar location. Keep reading to learn more.
What is Hoss' Loaded Burgers?
Hoss' Loaded Burgers was founded by owner Dallas Shaw in 2011. This is the guy that brought the Juicy Lucy-style burger to the Music City. (Say "Thank you, Dallas!")
The Hoss Food Truck has been cruising around downtown for almost a decade, serving great flavors using only quality ingredients. You can catch the Food Truck – Here's their online schedule.
Hoss' Loaded Burgers is featured on many "top food truck" lists like Thrillist & The Guardian, as well as on The Cooking Channel's Eat Street and rated as the #1 "Thing To Eat In Nashville Before You Die" by Thrillist.
The owners now offer their menu of locally sourced beef burgers and custom custards in sit-down fashion, too. And we are so glad they did. Nashville restaurants are popping up everywhere, and we want to clue you in on one of our new fave spots to eat.
Hoss' Loaded Burgers is NOW open in the Burkitt Commons area of Nolensville in a bright, clean and family-friendly style restaurant. The location is easy to get to right off of Nolensville Road, just minutes from the Interstate.
I felt like I was in a new-meets-old diner. The staff is super friendly and there is plenty of seating for your whole family.
The menu is simple and easy to understand, featuring the Hoss Signature "Old Timer" and "Hoss " burgers available all year round. Every month they feature a Specialty Burger. (Surprises, y'all!)
What we Ate:
My fave part about Hoss' menu? Straight to the point. Me? I had to have the classic Hoss Burger. This loaded burger starts with a custom ground-beef blend from locally sourced Porter Road Butcher.
Then the burger is stuffed with cheddar, topped with hickory smoked BBQ sauce, onion crispers, Benton's bacon, and fresh cilantro. So good! You've got to check it out for yourself.
The taste and quality of the beef really stands out to me. Juicy but not greasy, the burgers are great.
My friend Suzy picked their monthly special: The Big Easy Burger.
This New Orleans-inspired burger is stuffed with creamy provolone, topped with Cajun spices, homemade Creole rémoulade, and red onion.
Read about our trip to New Orleans here.
All burgers are served on bakery-style buns made fresh daily from Nashville's own Charpier's Bakery. Or you can pick a lettuce wrap for a low-carb, gluten-free option.
We totally went for the gourmet bun. Because cheeseburgers.
Of course, no meal at Hoss' Loaded Burgers is complete without a side of crispy spiced fries and a Concrete Custard. Make your own, or go with the German Chocolate Custard like I did. WOW!
You can only get the custard at the restaurant, so head over to Nolensville. This is a Nashville Must-Try.
Hoss' Loaded Burgers + Frozen Custard offers a rotation of craft beers sourced from local breweries. Loving all of the local touches.
Our Take:
The place is very bright, colorful and CLEAN. Staff is SUPER friendly and knowledgeable about their burgers and sides.
Ordering is a little cumbersome. My eyes really want an overhead menu at the counter, but you have to order off of a printed menu. You put in your order, pay up front, take a number and have a seat. Drinks and condiments are self-serve fast-food style. The food is out quickly, but made to order.
The first impression of the burger is that it would be "bigger" based on the price and the pictures. It came out smaller than expected. However, it is very filling and MORE than enough for a hearty appetite.
The Cajun spiced fries kick ass. Super hot, super crisp, and the perfect side dish for any burger you pick.
And the Custard. Y'all, I would drive down to Nolensville just for the custard. No joke. Smooth, creamy, love it. Best custard I've ever had. (And I've eaten quit a bit of frozen goodies.)
If you are looking for a casual place to grab a gourmet bite to eat that is affordable and friendly, I highly recommend Hoss' Burgers. 🙂

Father With Missing Children Arrested In Florida
Stephen Hilla Weighing Extradition Options; Mom To Go To Florida To Meet Kids
The nationwide manhunt for a father who police said took his three children and left the state is over.
Stephen Hilla took his three children last Tuesday and left the state. He was captured by authorities on Sunday just before 3 p.m. on the southern tip of Florida, inside Fort Zachary Taylor State Park near Key West.
Father With Missing Children Arrested In Florida -81.806327551603324.5523364773122381321967786 21967864 21967788
According to Lt. Ken Johnson, there was an animal control complaint made against Hilla because he had his dogs locked in the vehicle.
When the officer showed up, Hilla and his children were nowhere to be found.
"So he [the officer] stayed around the in the area, until the occupants came back," said Capt. John Suggs of the state park police.
Suggs said when Hilla returned, he told the arresting officer that they were coming back to their vehicle from swimming at the area.
When the officer ran Hilla's driver's license, he discovered Hilla was wanted.
"This was probably a little larger than what he normally encounters," Suggs said.
Hilla was then arrested and his children, 10-year-old twin boys Justin and Timothy and 8-year-old Emily, were taken into protective custody.
Hilla was cooperative with police and did not resist arrest, Suggs said.
Johanna Hilla, the children's mother, was relieved to hear the news.
"I just broke down, it's just the best news I could ever, ever had," she said.
Hilla said she spoke to her children and despite the ordeal, they are in good spirits.
"Obviously they're a little shook up and scared, but all of the little pieces of their personalities are still there and came through, even in the bad times," said Hilla.
Johanna said she wasn't sure her ex-husband would take the kids to Florida.
"In some ways I'm not surprised at all, and I can't tell you why but maybe because we've talked about Florida, talked about going to Key West," said Johanna Hilla. "I don't know."
Johanna said she was getting ready to get on a plane to be reunited with her children.
When Stephen Hilla took his children, he was on probation for battery against a household member. He now faces more charges and authorities are not sure when he will be extradited to New Mexico.
Hilla made his initial appearance in front a Florida judge Monday afternoon. Right now, he's fighting extradition back to New Mexico.
"He chose to fight extradition initially, but indicated to the judge that he wanted to speak to an attorney about it before he made his final decision," said Dustin Hunter, Monroe County assistant state attorney.
Hilla has been assigned a public defender and is expected in court within a week to decide whether or not he'll continue to waive extradition.
If he agrees to come back to New Mexico, authorities have 30 days to pick him up. If he continues to fight extradition, it could take several months.

For our processing project, we made a simple activity that consists of containing fire within walls. Once the fire is contained, it will build up and the temperature will get higher and higher. As the temperature gets hotter, the color of the fire changes from yellow to red to blue. Mousing over any part of the fire gives you the temperature at that point in the black sidebar on the right. When the project first loads, there is a shooting star that appears in the upper left that goes across the screen and breaks through the window-like walls. Besides these presets, the user can press three buttons: "Make Fire", "Make Wall", and "Reset". "Make Fire" lets you input fire anywhere you click your mouse. "Make Wall" creates a wall that contains any fire in it. "Reset" completely resets the whole project from the beginning.
We were motivated to create this based on an example where a line followed the cursor.
One of the challenges we had was in the "Make Walls" function. We could not get the mouse to create a straight line but instead we had dotted lines. The "wall" was still created, but it becomes almost invisible because we could not get the line to show up.
In the screenshot below, the wall is vertically placed on the right. The shooting star is the blue shooting star in the bottom half. In the window, fire is building up in the lower right section, so the fire temperature there will be extremely high.

Why do we use one skill set when we write for academic purposes than we use when we write for creative writing/fiction?
It all boils down to audience awareness and purpose, right?
But, if the goal of any form of effective writing is to grab and keep the reader's attention (without it, no one hangs in there long enough to find out what we think and why), why do we make academic writing so dry, so lacking in personality? In fact, most academic writing receives higher praise the more detached and impersonal it is.
This seems like it may just be another way to keep writing, writers, students, teachers, readers separate.

Truth-telling: ur doin it wrong
The joy of an anonymous blog is that you can tell the truth without fear of consequences. But both Bran and Kit read this blog, so is it really anonymous? And can I tell the truth about them, about me and him, about us and her? Can I take that risk? Is it an either/or proposition? If I tell the truth, will I lose them both?

I guess I'm back in the game
It's been nigh on a year (maybe more) since I last had a houseboy in service. Bran and I are still a couple, we're still seeing Kit, and the sex is still good. I've been dealing with a boatload of health problems, most of which I blame on job stress. Bran's been working 70 hour weeks and commuting two hours a day on top of it.
Given all of that, it's kind of a miracle that we manage to find time to spend together at all, let alone do the horizontal mambo. The nasty. The wild thing. You get the idea.
The good news is that, as I recover some of my energy, I find the idea of finding and training a new houseboy appealing. I'd love a housegirl too, actually — Kit threw a party a while back with lots of hot, kinky people, and one cute little submissive girl in particular got me thinking. But housegirls are even harder to find than good houseboys. Half the fun of kink, after all, comes from reversals and taboos.
So I'm back in the game. I updated my fetlife profile (that site has really exploded since it started a year or so ago!) and got a few interesting messages.
I also decided to cast my bread upon the waters of Craigslist again. This time, I used more standard kink/BDSM wording in my ad. As a result, the ad hasn't been flagged off, and so far I haven't gotten one nasty email suggesting that I come over and suck off some guy after doing his dishes.
That's not to say that the screening process isn't as fraught with peril as ever. And then, of course, there's the whole polyamory piece of it. Bran is fine with my pursuit of a houseboy, although I know he doesn't understand it. For me, it's a complicated mix of desire for attention, nurture, control, and — yes, I admit it — sadism.
My last post about this process may have overstated that last desire. I definitely took suboy to new depths of subspace — and myself to new depths of sadism — but I don't think I'm interested in that sort of heavy play right now. The top drop afterward can be way too intense.
A lot of my work these days has been about staying grounded and present. The sort of intense power and energy exchange involved in a serious whipping is not something I think I could deal with right now. Instead, what I'd like to explore is the possibility of accepting love and nurture from a man in the form of service. As the dominant party in a service submission relationship, I feel a sense of control that I don't in my relationship with Bran. And it's not the sort of role I want to be stuck in with a life partner (or a right-now partner, or whatever Bran and I are to each other right now). It is, however, something I want in my life, in one form or another.
There was one young man (early 20s) who served with me for a short period of time. He'd just begun to touch his foot to the tip of the iceberg of his submission. One day, I sat at my desk on a conference call while he kneeled at my feet, dressed only in shorts. I laid his head against my thigh, alternately petting him and grabbing his hair. Later, he went back to sorting through my papers. It was delicious. Light and delicious, like flan.
The pull, the delightful frisson of that sort of arrangement — that's what I'm longing for now.
Plus, it'd be nice to have someone else doing my dishes and my filing.
More hot three-way sex
Don't have time to write a full-on post about this, so here's a brief
sex sketch:
Went through about three loads of sheets last weekend.
In the wee hours, Bran arrived after carousing with coworkers. "Get in the bed," we chorused.
"Is there room for me?" he asked.
"Of course!" we answered.
Slipping in between our warm, soft, half-asleep bodies, he said, "I'm a lucky boy."
A few minutes later, I said, "I'm a lucky girl."
"And I'm lucky too!" said Kit.
In unison, the two of us said, "I'm lucky, you're lucky, he's lucky, we're all lucky, the bannister's lucky!"
"..the bannister's sticky!" she finished, one-upping me on the Rocky Horror geekdom.
We did everything once and in most cases twice, but Bran couldn't come. "You broke it!" he said.
In the morning, Kit sleeping on the floor next to the too-soft bed, he came across my belly, soft, sharp, matter-of-fact. Trembled. And set out across town for an unavoidable errand.
I leaned out the window to wave him goodbye, breasts shielded under the windowsill.
Later I came home to find Kit being naughty with my Hitachi. At the same moment, Bran called. "Get over here," I said. And so he did.
Kit texted me last night asking if we wanted to do it again. It's nice to know she likes us as much as we like her.

A great memory of mine from my undergraduate degree was playing jazz piano in a little group with Dr. Steve Konecne and Dr. Patrick Riley. Now I'll admit I was just a beginner of sorts, but I was really one of the only ones around that could, and I loved it. There is so many wonderful things about good jazz music. A funny thing I thought of today are the faces one makes while either playing it or listening to it. There are pain faces, faces of ecstacy, faces of calm, faces of intensity, biting lips, furrowed brows, huge smiles … well, you get the gist. But my absolute favorite face of all is one you don't get from other music genres (at least I've never seen it). It is what I like to call the "stink-face." When someone plays something so utterly wonderful or some insane crazy phrase, sometimes you just can't help make a face like you just smelled the worst thing you could possibly imagine. You know, maybe it is just the face of confusion, as if you are mulling how what is happening is even possible, physically or theoretically.
Coltrane and rotten eggs.
Django and turpentine.
Mingus and spoiled milk.
I made that face today. How couldn't I when I saw this?…
Watch out, the Caravan smells bad, but sounds so good.
….maybe that was too easy. Lets try another Caravan. Try and wrap your music brain around this:
I agree with a commenter: "Open up a window…. this is too funky!"

Twitch has permanently banned a number of their users for typing into chat the word Naga in Classic World of Warcraft streams. Naga actually refers to a race of snake-like creatures in Classic WoW, but Twitch in all their virtue signaling paranoia believe it to be coded language for a derogatory term for African Americans.
The release of the Classic WoW beta has seen a massive upsurge in viewership for WoW streamers and as usual, where there are gamers there is political incorrectness and dark humor. This is all too much for the social justice crowd at Twitch who has unleashed a crackdown on fun. Many streamers are reporting indefinite suspensions for using the word Naga in a funny and entertaining way.
The Twitch streamer Savix was believed to have said "shot that Naga" on stream, obviously after killing a Naga in game. But really this is just yet more fallout from the Steven Crowder and Carlos Maza hysteria that led to a massive wave of censorship and demonetization on Youtube. Steven Crowder wore a t-shirt that said "socialism is for figs" which was called by social justice retards, coded language for fags apparently.

As well as some societies are structured under the metaphor of the 'forester', other societies have a better 'metaphorical figure' to describe them, we are talking about the «gardener» figure. For Bauman (2007) the 'forester' is a pre-modern model, whereas the «gardener» is already a modern model. Regarding the advanced modernity and fordist capitalism, we will describe them using the metaphorical figures of the «technologist», «the engineer» and –also- «the agriculturalist» or «the farmer».
Despite the fact of these societies internal diversity, modern societies share the need to dominate and 'improve' the natural order. They coincide in the need to define an infinite progress inspired in a very secularized utopia. Consciously, the 'gardener' –like the «technologists», «engineers» and «farmers»- wants to transform, manipulate and perfect (in accordance with strict human needs) the pre-existing wild nature. This won't be any more 'virgin' neither will be left its autonomous dynamics, it will always be subjected explicitly to the human will.
In these societies, there's a first group, the ones who remove from the soil the «bad weeds», then a second group, the ones who select and reproduce the "good" specimens of plants and animals, and a third group that builds machines and other productive devices. However, they are driven by their own aims, «artificial aims» and also considered in great measure "superior".
Ver los posts: EL GUARDABOSQUES PREMODERNO
The gardener starts from planning, designs his own aims (like achieving a blue rose), and from that point interacts with the nature as an equal –and also- as if he was her «owner». Francis Bacon exposed the paradox created in this situation, on one hand, he forces and dominates the nature at his will, and from the other hand he obeys the nature, studying her and applying the laws that discovers from the nature.
The «gardener» (like «technologists», «engineers» and «farmers») faces the complexities and problems of the world under the model of the Babylonian labyrinth, full of closed doors that must open and avoid dead-ends. The «forester» is completely opposite to the «gardener», the first one, does not conceive the option to go out of his forest, (although it sometimes can be an uncomfortable or miserable life), while the second one, wants to modify completely his still wild environment to adequate it to his needs.
The «gardener» perceives his environment like a labyrinth that blocks his desires of freedom and command over the nature. So, the "gardener", needs a «free» and «open» space to be able to build and to cultivate with absolute freedom (to stablish his new order depending on his own ideas and plans). However, before he can design his dreamed garden has to dominate the wild "surroundings", tame them, and clean them properly.
The modern «gardeners», «technologists », «engineers» and «farmers» adore the kind of utopia, that "don't-have-place" (utopos in Greek) and are non-existent in nature, but at the same time are "better-places" (eutopos). Also, these societies portrayed by these characters, love progress and always have their own ideas of "improved" order and that needs to be imposed. Having an ideology or cosmovision becomes an essential need that tends to be imposed around the globe, without limits and in a revolutionary way. They don't have the «prejudices», the mental fetters neither the ancestral respect that defines the «forester».
As well as they don't have respect for the «bad weeds» neither for all the «savage» that opposes and blocks his dreamed plans of «perfect garden», they don't even respect those who don't value enough their utopia, or the ones that cannot live in it. They assimilate these people or groups to «bad weeds», "harmful animals" or «rude savages», so they tend to interact with them as if they were walls, or closed doors, which necessarily need to be to broken, opened or deleted to leave space to the «progress», to the «perfection» and to a garden-world built on the base of the technology.
Therefore, the need of expansion that links with the will of command can turn into the strength that can make them mutate or transform. Finally, when their otherness disappears (that has been reducing due to their own dynamics), the «gardeners», «technologists», «engineers» and «farmers» will be forced to switch their mentality and transform, due to their own success.
Controlled by their will of power (Nietzsche) and their desire of progress, utopia, revolution, and perfection (Mayos, 2004: 157ss), the «gardener», «technologist», etc, tend to exclude those who oppose to «the wonders that they imagine». Therefore, even few times, they have violent trends of colonisation and totalitarianism.
As they appreciate so much their utopia, will of power and the capacity to make the world «progress» and to carry out a radical «revolution» of the things, makes them disrespect those who oppose. They think: it would all be better and much easier if these people (the opponents) did not exist! Perhaps this mentality can explain the «dark» relation that Michael Mann (2009) has established between modernity (even democratic) and extermination camps, ethnic cleansings and genocides. Like Michael Mann but more radically, Giorgio Agamben (2005) thinks that the exception status has become a constant situation of the modern regimes.
Furthermore, during the research of perfection, they generate sciences, epistemes, disciplines or knowledge (Foucault, 1993) that allow them to dominate the different objects that configure or create. This is how different activities appear, like agriculture, cattle raising, gardening, technologies and engineering.
Agriculture, cattle raising, gardening, technologies and engineering arise from a similar dominion will. Also, the different learnings linked to them, give feedback to this will of power of the gardener. All of them coincide in the fact that their main objective is to «produce» artificial "superior" orders in a world, that without them would be wild and not «humanized», not exploited and without technical «perfection».
The "gardeners», «technologists», «engineers» and «farmers» also coincide in the fact that they must be constantly updating and improving their «design» to the maximum possible. They always want to make it more extensive and better. They tend to be colonizers, and even, totalitarians, because they aspire to transform «their design» into something universal, omnipresent and total, in concept, extension and intensity.
Willing it or not, they tend to want the whole world to configure under their «project of world», they want it to become a beautiful garden, a large orchard, an endless field for their cattle, the «megamachine» (Mumford 2010) or the greatest conceivable engineering project.
Nevertheless, the paradox is that they often depend largely on the 'not modified places', like the wild forest, further away from the orchard and the meadow, away from the places that still remain wild and not urbanized... Karl Polanyi (2003) explained very well the difficulties lived by many English peasants that were forced to emigrate massively to the urban suburbs due to the fact that they no longer had lands to cultivate, as the forests and communal meadows were denationalised, they were privatised. They needed to complement their crops with the resources that those lands provided, like wood, wild fruits or tubers, animals to hunt, fish, mushrooms, or just allowing their livestock to knead.
Even the modern «gardeners», «technologists», «engineers», «agriculturalists» and «farmers» still depend on nature; precisely they still depend on the unclaimed, wild and not modified terrains. Perhaps they do not depend on them directly, but they presuppose it. They still need to be somewhere, free «lands», unexploited raw materials, jungles to cut down and populations that still live as «foresters». Perhaps they need them to move around, to settle down there and to impose their authority and productive industry.
When these 'turbohumans' will no longer have anything to explore, clean, settle, exploit, develop and urbanize, they will have to cease conceiving their whole world like a Babylonian labyrinth (that presupposes an exit and a future without doors or walls), and they will finally realize that they have entered (and now without a definite exit) into the desert labyrinth.
And this desert doesn't have any end, neither an exit; it is important to emphasize in the fact that there's an ecological shortage and a production limit. It only has small oases, temporal rivers, lakes that a certain point will become totally dry, dunes that in the future will cover important ruins, underground deposits of oil, gas or water, tremendously difficult to exploit... Then the mankind will have to learn to go further of the mentality of "gardener», «technologist», «engineer» and «farmer».

Warrior Archaeologists on the March
ROME – At a crowded press conference in Rome Friday over one hundred angry archaeologists met to protest a government campaign denigrating popular sites like the Roman Fora, the Palatine Hill, Ostia Antica and Pompeii as dirty, dangerous and degraded. In addition, some opponents of the government plan are threatening symbolic sit-in's that in theory could interrupt tourist visits to the most popular archaeological sites.
For months the media message about an archaeological emergency has been hammered away by the foreign as well as the local press (the New York Times, for one, picked up the story). Given the declared emergency, more recently Culture Minister Sandro Bondi announced that the government will appoint a special commissioner cum inspector and, with him, a new oversight committee, bypassing the present bureaucratic structure.
Given the extent of the proclaimed archaeological emergency, Bondi's choice has fallen on the national director of Italy's Civil Protection department, Guido Bertolaso, to guarantee the visitors' pleasant and safe visits to the sites. Bertolaso is a former medical doctor whose normal responsibilities include dealing with earthquakes, forest fires and the still unresolved Naples rubbish emergency. Because Civil Protection falls under the bureaucratic bailiwick of the Council of Ministers, Bertolaso answers directly to Premier Silvio Berlusconi. If and when the proposals are formalized, Bertolaso would be flanked in Rome by a local Roman politician, Marco Corsini, who is city commissioner for urban affairs.
The reorganization would effectively whisk the country's primary archaeological sites from control by their present directorates. Among the protesters were museum directors, professors, politicians, directors of cultural associations (Italia Nostra was one), the former editor-in-chief of Il Messagggero daily and a number of archaeocrats willing to risk their jobs to denounce what they called a manipulated "fictitious creation of an emergency."
This is far more than a picturesque battle between soft-headed intellectuals and pointy-penciled politicoes. Parliamentarian Walter Tocci complained that when a hearing was to be held on the question, the government did not bother to show up. "There is no justification for appointing a special commissioner," Tocci said. "There is no situation that would call for civil protection authorities to intervene. What's going on is that they simply want to privatize the archaeological parks."
Indeed, looming in the background is privatization of archaeological sites and their exploitation, which some observers see as the way forward and others, as heretical and in outright conflict with the Italian constitution; indeed plans are underway to take the issue to Italy's high court, the Corte Costituzionale. In the worst possible case the reorgnization is the thin end of the wedge and could lead, in park areas, to construction projects, hotels, swimming pools, night clubs, and Disney-style theme parks. "The plan is in fact part of the spoils system," one irate archaeologist claimed.
On the other hand, the 72-year-old archaeologist Andrea Carandini, whom Bondi has already named to head the future oversight committee with Bertolaso and Corsini, is an ardent supporter of the emergency measures. Carandini says that climate change has made the Palatine Hill "fragile" and hence in need of swift emergency action which only the proposed joint city-state can guarantee. "Ancient Rome is a sinking ship," Carandini told an Italian journalist, adding that the evidence is in the decline in tourist visits to the Roman Forum.
The protesters at the assembly were not buying Carandini's nor Bondi's arguments. For one thing, if tourism is down in the Roman Forum, it has risen drastically at Ostia Antica despite a general decline in tourism in Rome as in all Italy due in part to complex reasons, beginnning with the worldwide economic crisis. In addition, as one of the speakers Friday said, "The proposal risks de facto privatization." Others spoke of the "pseudo-reforms" of recent years and the government's hacking away of the Culture Ministry's budget—and then denouncing the bureaucrats for not doing enough to maintain the sites.
Behind the scenes the scuttlebutt is that Minister Bondi will shortly leave the Culture Ministry to return to his old job of promoting the political party created by Berlusconi, Forza Italia. A possible successor: rightist Senator Gaetano Quagliarello, recently in the news for his protest that Eluana Englaro, the woman in a coma for seventeen years, was "killed" by the doctors who let her die earlier this month.
To learn more on both sides of this story, see the Carandini interview and an article on the protest by Edoardo Sassi, Corriere della Sera, Feb. 21, 2009.
At patrimoniosos.it readers can sign a petition in English being circulated against the nomination of a "special inspector" for the Archaeological Sueprintendencies of Rome and Ostia.

It's not often I fall in love with a doll. In fact, dolls and I have a very long and ugly history. From chopping off my doll's hair and using black sharpie on her head, to smashing my sister's favorite doll into a tree and popping her head off, I'm not the poster child for dolls. I do remember spending hours flipping through a certain doll catalog though so apparently there was a little hope for me. A few weeks ago I came across Hearts for Hearts Girls and I knew I had to have one for my daughter. I loved the line, the story, the cause. You see, for every doll purchased, a portion is donated to World Vision (over $250,000 so far) to help kids in the region the doll represents. I contacted the company and they were so kind as to send me a Hearts for Hearts Girl for my daughter.
I fell in love with her. I am quite certain that if Mosi had existed when I was a child I would have loved her dearly. I would have been young enough to not truly appreciate all the fine details and the quality workmanship. I would have loved the jewelry, the clothes, and most of all, the story. Ever since I learned to read, I read any book I could get my hands on. The best part about them sending me Mosi is that I get to play with her first – for the purpose of telling you all about her of course. Just don't tell my daughter. Hopefully I can get her back into the box in perfect order.
Besides the fact that part of the proceeds are donated to helping kids, they have a great price point for something that's "the next step up" from your traditional doll. These dolls are priced between $25-$30. After seeing the dolls I can honestly say they are worth every penny. In fact, I'm going to say something I never say. Even if you cannot find a sale or "deal", these dolls are worth full price – for real. I definitely believe they should be on every doll loving girl's list and maybe even contemplated for a non-doll loving girl.
I'll be sure to share a picture of my daughter opening her present on Christmas Day. I just know she is going to love Mosi so very much. For doll information, videos, and games, check out Hearts for Hearts Girls. Best of all, each doll comes with a special code that allows you to unlock a special membership to a kid-safe site full of exclusive fun Hearts for Hearts Girl games and activities.
You can purchase a Hearts for Hearts Girl for that special girl in your life at WalMart.com, Target/Target.com, Meijer, Amazon, Toys R Us, or Barnes & Noble. They are also available at the Playmates Toys website.

TheKnifingDrummer posted a topic in ZAM DiscussionHello there Undead Uprising forum readers. I am here to make a proposal about the UU Zombie Mod for Black Ops 1. I used to be very active in UU and I knifed a lot, and I was very good, but then I was hit by a car whilst riding my bike to my girlfriend's house (Not my fault). I have been unactive lately because of that and I have been starting to play more in the past 2-3 weeks, and before that happened I was talking to Classixz and some other Admin/Mod it might've been King? I don't exactly remember, but we were talking about me starting out with like ballistic knife and speedo (like an admin). I don't need any of the kick/warn/ban or anything, I just would like to start out with those to get some nice knifing clips for you guys because lets be honest, before you can get the ballistic knifes with the hunter class someone usually gets health and you end up dying. If you guys allowed me to start out with ballistic knifes and swift, I would be able to get some nice clips for you to put on a YouTube channel to help you guys get more popular since I'm a very good knifer. Maybe even King too so we could poop out the clips for you guys? Anyway, thank you for reading this post and have a great day! - TheKnifingDrummer

Nowadays people use computers for a lot of rather mundane tasks: They check social media, do their banking or read blog posts (Like this one!). When they get the new, best computer (and hopefully use IT recycling services to get rid of the old one), how many people really do notice a significant difference in power?
Likely not many. Their computer activities won't change, and they likely upgraded only because the old computer started to underperform, or just because a newer piece came out. People don't often push computers to the limits of their capabilities, which means they not truly appreciate just how far computers have come since their invention back in 1936.
Yes, you did read that right. The worlds first programmable computer codenamed Z1 was created between 1936 and 1938. It was created by Konrad Zuse in his parents living room if you can believe that!
Although if we want to go back even further, the word 'computer was first used way back in 1613 and was used to describe a person who performed calculations, leading to the word 'automaton' to mean a self-operating computer or an insult to people who act without thinking.
In any case, it's fair to say that computers have advanced somewhat since the early 20th Century.
Computers, through the ages
Since the Z1, computers have grown in capabilities and power at an incredible rate. Their importance within our world was immediate too. Computers were created to help break German codes during WW2. In 1949, the 'Manchester Mark 1' was used to search for Mersenne Prime Numbers.
In 1969, Man Landed on the Moon using computers with power less than what is in a modern mobile phone. That's the oft-told version, but the actual specifics are far more interesting. The Apollo Guidance computer named the Block 2, had 36K of Ram. The average computer nowadays has 4GB of RAM. That is such an incredible jump that its hard to actually comprehend.
There is a theory that the number of transistors that can fit per square inch in a computer will double ever four years. This then results in continuously more powerful computers. This is known as Moore's Law and was invented by Gordon Moore in 1965.
There is also a theory that Moore's Law is now reaching breaking point, but that's another blog post for another day.
Everyone likes to get the newest and best computer. When you go get your hands on the newest piece of kit, I hope that you do two things. First that you use a reputable IT Recycling business to dispose of your previous technology.
Secondly that you take a moment to consider just how far computers have come in less than 100 years. After only a few years, computers were used to help the War effort, and over 60 years ago a very basic (comparatively) computer helped man leave earth and land on an orbiting moon.
Just think about that the next time you use your home computer to check Wikipedia to prove a point or use IMDB to see what else that actor was in.

text: The Staggers 19 October 2010 Danny Alexander accidentally reveals CSR Photograph of CSR briefing reveals that public-sector workers will be asked to reduce hours to save Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up Danny Alexander has been caught out by an expert paparazzo lens that snapped what appears to be a brief for tomorrow's Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR). It might not be quite as bad as Bob Quick's blunder, but it is certainly embarrassing for the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, particularly because the brief – which is essentially a collection of lines for ministers to take in response to questions – contains details not meant for the public. The key revelations in the document relate to public-sector jobs. It says the Office for Budget Responsibility will next month confirm its estimate of 490,000 public-sector job losses by 2014/15. This is not surprising. "Government will do everything they can to mitigate the impact of redundancies," the document says, going on to outline "voluntary deals with staff on pay restraint or reduced hours in order to save jobs". As Paul Waugh (who also has a very magnified version) notes: That one line could give the powerful public-sector unions a major headache. They won't want effective pay cuts through reduced hours, but they know that may be better than job cuts. The photograph also reveals that the government is pushing for a 30 per cent emissions target with the EU, and pledges £2.9bn for international climate finance. David Cameron was also photographed today holding a draft of the Strategic Defence and Security Review showing that the MoD could face 6 per cent cuts. This has prompted speculation in some quarters that the leaks were a deliberate attempt to soften the blow ahead of tomorrow's full announcement. › Want to know why liberals/lefties feel so let down by Obama?

So – people say that women "nest" before they have their baby – cleaning and getting things in order.
I spent a whole day doing just that the other day. Anyone who knows me well knows that cleaning is something at the bottom of my list and that I am not very good at, either.
Am I un-nesting?
Nathan slept most of the day that day. Keeping busy is a good thing. When I am not busy, or especially when awake in bed I have to think about things like funerals.
I also have all kinds of absurd thoughts about the timing of things to come and conveniences of the various timings.
I also think about the future and all the things I will be able to do again and the things I can offer Julia and Lauren without doctors appointments, etc.
There is basically nothing I can think that is good these days.
I have the urge to go to choir rehearsal and sing. I know it would be good for my soul. If it weren't for… "people who care about you?" (Luke completed that for me when I was pondering aloud about it). He's right – they all want to support me, but I just don't know if I can handle it. Plus – part of me will wonder if I am being judged for being there, instead of at home with Nathan.
I hope you don't mind the ramblings….I have been updating Nathan's site daily and that leaves me without the energy for this blog.

Now You're Sorry
Reads: 434 | Likes: 0 | Shelves: 0 | Comments: 5
Short Story by: Spread My Wings
Both were popular until rumors spread about them and everyone soon hated them for reasons that they didn't know.
They both move away together due to the stress and depression of utter loathing and hatred from their peers, but in senior year they're back and they seek revenge.
The role continued on like this until Mr. Peters reached the end of the role.
"Dawn, Zaine!"
Mr. Peters remembered his mistake and crossed their names off the role.
Suddenly the hushed chatter of his students went silent, and Mr. Peters looked up and froze.
"Oh, we're here."
Dawn and Zane stood at the door of the classroom, both smiling.
Dawn glanced at every face in the classroom and, seeing every seat taken, turned around and locked the door with a click.
"Dawn, Zane. I was not told that you are to be welcomed back to the school." Mr. Peters said, gulping as Zane looked him up and down.
"We're not." Dawn said, taking out her ponytail and shaking her long, glossy black hair out.
"The freaks are back. I thought they left for the circus." Maribel Lucas whispered to one of her friends, and they both giggled quietly.
Suddenly though, both Dawn and Zane twisted their heads around to stare at her coldly, studying her.
They then looked at each other, a gleam in their eyes.
Dawn and Zane glided to either side of Maribel's desk, knocking students out of their seats and taking them, sitting down next to her.
"Is there a problem?" Maribel asked, glancing at one of her friends and snorting.
"You." Zane said, playing with a strand of Maribel's hair.
Maribel pulled away in disgust as Dawn and Zane smirked at eachother.
"I'm sorry?" Maribel exclaimed in disbelief as she stood up, placing her hands on her hips.
Dawn and Zane turned their seats around and tilted their heads at Maribel's outraged expression, a smile brightening up their faces.
"Dawn, Zane, Maribel. Please take a seat and we shall continue this lesson." Mr. Peters said nervously, re-positioning his glasses.
Dawn and Zane cast their annoyed glares on him, but moved a table from the back of the class and sat down next to eachother.
"Now, where were we? Oh yes, now that we've finished the role, it's time we moved on to Australian history! Australian history is very interesting because-" Mr. Peters was cut off by Dawn standing up and crossing her arms over her chest.
"This is bullshit." she announced, and the class turned to stare at her in shock.
"I refuse to tolerate that kind of language in my class!" Mr. Peters said angrily, though he still sounded nervous.
"Yet you can tolerate that?" Dawn said in disgust, pointing a finger at Maribel.
Mr. Peters didn't answer, he simply sat down at his desk annd started dialing the principal's office.
Zane stood up, entwining his fingers into Dawn's.
What he did next made the whole class freeze in terror.
"Put the fucking phone down." Zane hissed menacingly, raising a gun to point straight at Mr. Peters' head.
Mr. Peters dropped the phone shakily, clearing his throat.
"Zane, I'm going to have to take you to the principal." he said, standing up.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out as Mr. Peters looked down at the holes in his chest, falling to his knees.
The whole class was silent until a small, shy girl screamed loudly.
Soon the whole class was standing up, hiding under tables, running for the door.
Zane smiled in satisfaction as he shot the ones trying to escape.
Dawn walked to the front of the class with Zane, smiling at him brightly and standing on her toes to kiss him on the cheek lovingly.
"You psycho!" Maribel screamed in fear as she held up a chair.
"Oh, please. There's always the stupid whore who says that without thinking in every bad horror movie you've ever seen." Dawn said, snorting.
"I'm not a stupid whore." Maribel said quietly, and Dawn was in front of her in a flash, bringing her up from the ground with a hand on her throat.
Maribel coughed and tried to pry Dawn's hands away, but Dawn wouldn't stop.
Zane placed a hand on Dawn's shoulder, and she relaxed and dropped Maribel to the ground.
Maribel coughed, rubbing her throat and staring up at Dawn and Zane in hatred.
"Now now, love. No need to get too excited." Zane said playfully, and Dawn turned around and kissed him on the lips, giggling.
The class didn't move, didn't even speak.
"Bitch." Maribel's friend said under her breath, and Zane pulled away and immediately pulled out his gun, pointing it straight at the girl.
"What did you just say about my girlfriend?!" he said furiously, and the girl froze and stared at Zane in fright.
"I-I..nothing, I mean, I was talking about Maribel!" she stammered quickly, and Zane shook his head.
"No, you were talking about my girlfriend you fucking liar!" he screamed, shooting her twice in the stomach as she screamed in pain.
She breathed deeply, clutching her stomach as the blood went through her shirt.
"Babe." Dawn said quietly, linking her arm through Zane's as he breathed heavily.
"You're insane!" the girl screamed, and Zane froze and turned around again as she gasped and moaned in pain.
"What's your name?" he asked her gently, kneeling down when she fell off her chair.
The girl stared up at Zane for a moment, blinking once.
"Georgie." she replied, and Zane smiled and pushed a strand of hair away from her face.
"Well Georgie, I hope you rot in hell." Zane whispered in her ear, and she screamed at the top of her lungs as he dragged her toward the window.
"No, don't!" a girl at the back yelled, but Zane payed no attention.
"Please, no!" Georgie cried, and the last the class saw of Georgie was her horrified face as she slipped out the window, her screams still loud and clear.
Zane sighed and turned back to the class, throwing his hands up into the air as if to say, 'What was I supposed to do?'.
"Fuck you!" Maribel screamed, running to the window and seeing her best friend in a bloody splattered mess on the concrete at the bottom.
Dawn glided forward and grabbed Maribel's long blonde hair, kicking her in the back and hearing a terrifyingly loud crack.
Maribel screeched as the class looked on in horror, seeing the odd angle that her body was bent at.
"What's the matter, Maribel?" Dawn asked her sweetly, taking out a long pair of scissors and starting to chop off Maribel's perfect blonde hair.
"No, please stop!" Maribel cried, tears streaming down her face.
"Please Maribel, stop WHINING!" Dawn yelled at her, slicing off part of the skin on her head.
"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this yet." Dawn told her innocently, continuing to chop off her hair and skin on the top of her head.
"Ah!" Maribel continued to sob, and Dawn clapped her hands and stepped away as Maribel instantly fell to the ground with another sickening crack.
She only gasped and groaned, and Dawn smiled widely at the rest of the class.
"I'm finished." Dawn announced, and nobody said anything.
They only sat there with sad faces, not a single sound coming from them.
"Admire my masterpiece! Admire my fucking masterpiece!" Dawn screamed, stamping her foot as the class slowly stood up, walking over to Maribel as she cried silently.
They all stood around her, staring blankly.
"It's beautiful." Zane whispered in Dawn's ear, kissing her on the cheek lovingly.
Dawn suddenly froze, and Zane followed her eyes to Cameron Smith, Dawn's popular ex-boyfriend who had cheated on her with the head cheerleader.
"You." Dawn said simply, walking forward and kneeing Cameron where the sun don't shine.
He groaned and fell to the ground, and Dawn leaned down.
"What's the matter? Did you get an ouchie?" Dawn asked sweetly, standing up again and placing her hands on her hips.
"Get up." she said to Cameron, and he jumped up in an instant, staring Dawn down in rage.
"You really shouldn't have done that." he said, raising his fist over his head.
Dawn tilted her head as Zane was about to start moving, and Zane stopped and smiled as Dawn ducked out of the way of his fist and grabbed her schoolbag, pulling out a long tube filled with some kind of liquid.
"What are you gonna do, throw water all over me? That's not gonna help you, sweetheart." Cameron said, and Dawn smiled, showing her pearly white teeth.
"Does water feel like this?"
Dawn poured the water right over Cameron's arm, smiling in satisfaction as he screamed loudly, his fingers burning away instantly.
"You fucking bitch!" he yelled, and Dawn slapped him across the face.
"Now Cameron. That is exactly what I felt after you cheated on me with that blonde bitch. Except I felt it on my heart."
Suddenly, Dawn pulled out a knife from her schoolbag, stabbing Cameron in the chest as he looked down, a choked gasp escaping his lips.
Dawn looked into his eyes as she continued to cut a circle around his heart before putting her hand into the hole, pulling his heart out as he went completely limp.
She stroked the fresh, bloody heart, kissing it softly before slicing it in half, some students in the class looking greener than ever.
"That was how it felt." she said, staning up and letting the heart drop to the ground next to Cameron's body.
"Now!" Zane said loudly, standing up on one of the chairs. "All of you never did anything to us like they did, so we don't mind any of you."
The whole class sighed in relief as Zane smiled at them.
"But you know what?" He started again, glancing at Dawn as a smile crossed her lips. "None of you did anything to stop them."
Suddenly Zane jumped down and grabbed one of the girls, twisting both of her arms back as the rest of the class screamed.
Dawn grabbed one of the guys and pushed him to the ground, stomping on his head as blood poured out.
Once they had both finished, they looked around the classroom.
Only then did they notice the constant banging and yelling on the other side of the classroom walls, and they opened the blinds of the windows to see all of their teachers, their principal, and the police.
Dawn and Zane looked at eachother, smiling happily.
"Just what we predicted." Zane sighed, walking over to the fire alarm and setting it off, seeing the acid that rained over the people as their bodies slowly burned away.
After they were all dead, Zane turned off the fire alarm and opened the door for Dawn, slinging his arm around her shoulders as they walked down the hall.
"I love you." Zane chuckled, pushing back a strand of Dawn's hair as she smiled at him.
"I love you too."
They opened the doors to the school, both pulling out a cigarette as they heard the police sirens wailing in the distance.

Marketing automation and monetization firm Tapjoy is celebrating its one billionth app install today. Because, you know, that's a big number.
The San Francisco company said it recently delivered its one-billionth app install as part of its user acquisition advertising capabilities. It's a sign of how big some of its customers and partners have become in the ever-expanding mobile-app economy.
Tapjoy said that in the last six months alone, it has driven more than 80 million installs for app developers. That means it has used ads such as videos to motivate users to install apps. Of the 1 billion installs that Tapjoy has driven since 2009, 53 percent were on the Android platform while 47 percent were on iOS. The most popular device for installs was the Samsung Galaxy 3.
Tapjoy's Video-to-Install product has seen the largest growth, increasing usage more than 85 percent from the last half of 2014 to the first half of 2015. Its Video-to-Install product offers advertisers the ability to market their app with a rewarded video that provides consumers with a full sense of the developer's product. Consumers who chose to install an app after watching the video are considered high-quality users. Those users can drive superior lifetime value metrics for the app developer.
"Providing a solution that results in consumers downloading more than a billion apps is a remarkable milestone and a testament to the company's ability to evolve with the times and stay on the leading edge of app marketing," said Steve Wadsworth, the president and CEO of Tapjoy, in a statement.
"As app developers have become more sophisticated with user acquisition strategies, their focus — and ours — has shifted to not only driving downloads but gaining highly engaged and valuable users, which is exactly what our Rewarded Video-to-Install, User Engagement, and other products are designed to deliver. We're thrilled to cross this milestone and look forward to continuing to drive quality user acquisition for app developers and revenue for publishers who use our marketing automation and monetization platform."
Tapjoy's software development kit is used in more than 270,000 apps with a global reach of 520 million monthly active users.

On January 14–17, fresh strikes and demonstrations took place across France.
According to media reports, several French ports were blocked by a 72-hour strike by members of the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT), as part of the ongoing mass transportation strikes over Prime Minister Emanuel Macron's attacks on the pension system.
The CGT called a 72-hour walk-out starting from January 14 and for pickets on January 17, in what the union has called "opération ports morts" (operation dead ports).

Rated 5 out of 5 by LemonTwist from Super comfortable and cut well These shears have large and comfortable handles that spread any load across a large area of your hand. The large holes allow all four fingers in one side and a thumb in the other, so you can apply your full hand force if needed. The blades are nicely shaped and ground to a very high sharpness. The shears cut thin paper or thick cardboard equally well. I really love these for gift wrapping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by delaware3 from Ambidextrous My wife is right-handed and I am left-handed -- these scissors work great for both of us. If you are right-handed you might not even know this is an issue, because most scissors are made right-handed unless you buy special left-handed scissors. For me, most regular scissors fold paper rather than cut; cloth gets chewed. These shears work as well for me as the ones made especially for southpaws. They are firm, but not tight; light weight, but not flimsy. When something needs cutting, both my wife and I reach for these first.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnZ from Sharp We're reupholstering some chairs and our regular scissors couldn't handle cutting the fabric. These breezed through the fabric so well my ten year old was able to do it and commented about how sharp and easy they were. Extremely comfortable to use. I like the handle/grip even though a little different than your typical scissors. Hoping these last a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jjwaters101 from First "Clauss" All the Way These Clauss shears are so solid, and sharp and durable; you can tell just by looking at them! But wait until you put them in your hand...they are so comfortable and the slant of the handle allows you to use them without fatigue for long projects or cutting through heavier objects. My husband likes the fact they fit his hands, too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by oldtimer from great quality and ease of use I just recieved my power flex n my shears a few days ago and already I have put my other ones away. The shears easily cut through chicken bones and any fowl that you have. The shear is the best set that I have seen on the market

Rated 5 out of 5 by Omogie from So sharp! These shears are super sharp and cuts like butter. I would definitely keep them away from little ones. They are easy to hold and the handles are large enough even for my husband to use.
