The world’s last bastion of free speech? Enter the Cheeky Girls …
The Oxford Debating Union, once described by Harold Macmillan as “the last bastion of free speech in the Western world”, is struggling to restore its reputation after a week when its president barely clung on to his job, and a quarter of the audience walked out rather than staying to listen to the union’s “celebrity” speakers.

The perfect cheese platter for Thanksgiving
give thanks first the big feast with an easy appetizer — a handpicked variety of american cheeses. why isn’t cheese a bigger Thespian in the thanksgiving meal (other than the truthfully that there probably wasn’t much of it in 17th century plymouth)? thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to serve cheese, for reasons both lofty and practical. the scornful reason is seasonality, because this is arguably the unexcelled time of year notwithstanding cheese. and the applied reason is convenience, because cheese doesn’t require an oven.

Help a Reader: Splitting Costs on a Lower Income
Here’s a question recently left on my post titled When Does “My” Money Become “Our” Money?:
My husband and I are constantly fighting because he makes 4 times what I do, but still expects me to “half” all of the bills. We each have separate accounts. I am using every penny I have to try to be fair, but I don’t even have money to buy anything extra, while he is out spending money like crazy. Am I just being silly to think that he should contribute more than half since he makes so much more?
Any thoughts/advice for her?

Tattoo ? ancient practice, modern times
Why tattoo? In ancient times the tattoo took on many meanings. Cassandra Franklin-Barbajosa of National Geographic Magazine notes, the earliest record of tattoos, to date, was found in 1991 on the frozen remains of the Copper Age “Iceman.” Scientists found the lower back, ankles, knees and foot had been marked with a series of vertical lines. Researchers believe the “Iceman,” named Otizi, may have used tattoos as medical treatment to reduce pain by rubbing black charcoal into the cuts. According to Franklin-Barbajosa, “As civilizations developed tattoos took on other meanings Levaquin online. Ancient Egyptian funerary figures display the same dot and dash tattoos on their bodies as those found on female mummies from that time period.” Ancient Romans, who banned tattoos at first, later embraced the art form and wore tattoos as badges of honor, symbols of battles won. During the crusades, warriors identified themselves with the tattooed mark of the Jerusalem cross so that they could be given a proper Christian burial if they died. By the early 18th century, European sailors encountered inhabitants of the South Pacific islands where tattoos were an important part of culture. In 1769, Capt. James Cook landed in Tahiti, where the word “tattoo” originated, taken from the native “tatau” meaning to make a mark on something. In this case, to “tap” a mark into the skin. Tattooing has been practiced in Japan for art, beauty, magic and to mark criminals since around the 5th century B.C. New York inventor Samuel O’Reilly patented the first electric tattoo machine in 1891, making traditional tools a thing of past. Over the five decades that followed tattoos became equated with certain groups on the fringe of American culture. While sailors, World War II and other military veterans embraced the tattoo, society remained unconvinced. Today, the tattoo has become much more mainstream. Everyday people are choosing to express their inner-self through the art of tattoo. No matter the decade or culture, a tattoo is an extremely personal means of expression. Tattoos mark time and meaningful events in the lives of persons bearing them. As the lyrics of “Tattoo” by The Who, a rock group who sang , “Welcome to my life, tattoo … We’ve a long time together, me and you … I expect I’ll regret you … But the skin graft man won’t get you … You’ll be there when I die … Tattoo,” explain. That exact sentiment is expressed by Paul Sloan, who considers his tattoos to be art, “Art that no one can take away from you. (Art) you get buried with.” Sloan, who lives and works in York, says tattoos are one way to express yourself or to remember a particular day. “Besides, it’s my body,” Sloan states, in regard to what others movie dvd may think. Most of Sloan’s tattoos are of animals; a lizard, black panther, spider. He’s got his daughter’s zodiac sign on his wrist, and a tribal sun at the nape of his neck. He guesses he got the first around 20 years ago, before it was as fashionable as it is today. Brandon Travis is 27. Travis says, he’s been getting tattoos for around 10 years. According to Travis, his mother wasn’t to happy he came home with a tattoo, which happened to be the head of a devil. Travis says tattoos are his style. Reactions to tattoos depend on the person. Travis believes tattoos are more commonplace than people realize, with quite a few people keeping theirs covered. “I kept mine covered for a while,” he admits. Travis says his tattoos are personal and meaningful to him, and that’s what is most important. Reactions to skin ink differ from person to person. Often wartime and military tattoos are viewed as more socially acceptable than art “seemingly” tattooed for fun. But both Travis and Sloan stress, what really matters is how they, themselves feel about the work. Both see tattoos as an indelible statement about who they are, and where they are in life. Tattoos don’t come cheap … they are expensive in terms of dollars and cents. Getting a tattoo is painful. The process is time consuming and requires patience. But Travis says tattoos are addictive — he plans to get more. Why tattoo? According to Sloan and Travis the answer is individuality … and the reasons run skin deep.

‘Twilight’ Sequel(s) Moving Forward!
.jpg)
what, did you really think they’d only make as if one? according to the hollywood broadcaster, summit entertainment has unqualified to clutch on to the property that has made them, and, heck, why not make it a franchise? though the first smokescreen hasn’t arrived in theaters yet, initial drone from critics isn’t disagreeable (our own james rocchi told me it was “pretty good”), and so summit has gone and acquired rights to the next three novels and brought sunset screenwriter melissa rosenberg in to write the screenplays based on new moon and eclipse. breaking dawn, however, does not have a screenwriter just yet. though nothing was announced, i’d expect them to shoot two of these suckers back-to-servants’, but i theorize we’ll see which road they take.as you’re in all likelihood already aware, twilight mania has taken the world a bit by rain. the source material has amassed a totality ton of fan sites, the soundtrack has collision number one-liner on the charts and the flick is certainly wavering to clear big. how eminent, we do not know, though we’ll certainly be asking for your conviction at the beginning of next week — as well as shoveling out some pretty awesome twilight interviews; rhyme of which might just be with a girl named bella — so reinforce tuned. dusk hits theaters november 21.

Shaun Phillips: ‘We need to get rolling’
Shaun Phillips is a linebacker with the San Diego Chargers and posts every week on this blog.
Today I was thinking that we haven’t won two games in a row this year. That’s kind of crazy to me.
Since I have been in the league, we have had a four-loss year (2004), a seven-loss year (2005), a two-loss year (2006), and a five-loss year (2007). This season, we have five already so we need to get rolling or I am going to go crazy.
This will be a fun game in my eyes because it is against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are notorious for having a great defense and some outstanding linebackers.
I take this game personally because I am dedicating myself to be the best linebacker on the field this week. It is a personal battle because here are two linebackers in James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley and they are both at the top in the league for sacks, while I’m sitting with 3 1/2. This is a great opportunity for me to show that I’m one of the premier linebackers in league.
I love to play in cold games because it reminds me of backyard football and that’s the kind of game we want it to be. A lot of guys on our team come from cold weather cities, but we get spoiled being in Southern California. This game comes down to what team is more physical and determined and I am more than ready. It is time to get back to work and ready to win a HUGE game.
Remember to vote for me in the Pro Bowl.
