100 of Amazon's best, highest-rated products We did the research for you. (How?) We went page by page through hundreds of Amazon categories, carefully collecting the very highest-rated products of each type and across the board. As an example, if you search for "garlic press", you'll see that we display only the single best garlic press on Amazon (4.6 stars), out of over 3,800 Amazon results of varying quality. We own it ourselves and can attest to how much better it is than other garlic presses we've tried. As a matter of fact, we've personally purchased over 70 of the products on toppp.com, and each one has been great. Note: Toppp is formerly known as Topazon. Some of the products were the best in a specific sub-category that we searched through, like this Stapler, with 4.8 out of 5 stars. Others were so highly-rated that they were included even if their subcategory might not have otherwise been represented. Some entire product categories didn't make the cut if there wasn't an awesome-enough product at the top.
33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What Every Person Should Know... (Updated, Revised and Extended) After reading the article released by Cracked.com, I decided to update and revise their work. The article gave me a chuckle because it lacked many famous and much larger conspiracy theories that became known. Their article had only listed seven. I can name 33 and I am about to release a revised list soon with 75. Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy. To many, conspiracy theories are just human nature. Skeptics are important in achieving an objective view of reality, however, skepticism is not the same as reinforcing the official storyline. In fact, if one were to look into conspiracy theories, they will largely find that thinking about a conspiracy is associated with lunacy and paranoia. I find it extremely odd that the assumption is on thousands of participants in a conspiracy. 1. 2. Many people do not realize that J. © unknownJared Lee Loughner What is MK Ultra? 4.
'What Were You Guys Thinking? Why Did You Kill Him?' by William Norman Grigg by William Norman Grigg Recently by William Norman Grigg: Death Squad Damage Control in Tucson "Why, why did you kill him?" Jose, who had finished a graveyard shift at the Asarco copper mine, was sleeping when a SWAT team from the Pima County Sheriff's Office laid siege to his home on the morning of May 5. The siren sounded for less than ten seconds; just a few seconds later, the order to "breach" the door was given because, as on-scene commander Deputy Bob Krygier later explained, nobody inside the house had "submitted to our authority." Vanessa initially thought that there was an emergency "somewhere in the neighborhood," and called the police. Seconds later, Jose was sprawled face-first in a pool of his own blood, shredded by dozens of rounds fired by the SWAT team. As the minutes dragged on, one of the SWAT operators – according to Krygier – grew impatient over being forbidden to enter the home. "Might as well finish what I started," groused the armored assailant. May 30, 2011
6 Surprising Places It's Great To Be Gay (Dallas, Texas?) | Sex & Relationships June 2, 2011 | Like this article? Join our email list: Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email. When most people think of the best places to live if you're lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT), the immediate tendency is to hone in on urban places. As a Southerner, however, I know that tendency often overlooks places outside of coastal metropolitan locations – places that offer some of the best glimpses of American life, but that are off the beaten queer path. 6) Dallas, Texas. The city's laws aren't perfect, but they offer some anti-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. 5) Atlanta, Georgia. For those who enjoy “porch culture,” Atlanta offers not only the downtown area as pretty queer-friendly, but also offers multiple queer-identified suburbs. 4) Lexington/Louisville, Kentucky. In many Southern states, the LGBT community has carved out unique safe spaces for themselves that are pretty remarkable to experience.
janvier 2010 In 1864, John William Sterling (1844-1918) graduated from Yale College. About 1870, in his mid-twenties, [he] met James Orville Bloss (1847-1918), who was three years younger. The two formed a relationship of almost 50 years, and lived together in New York City for most of that time. [...] In 1890, the U.S. What about James Orville Bloss and his "tastes" ? Gaining the world's respect was an important goal of Sterling's, his journal indicates. Again, Freudian analysis, and the 20th-century idea that gender deviance suggests sexual deviance did not disturb this lawyer's mind. Garver notes in passing that Sterling's "disposition to protect himself" from unwanted visitors was shown "in his residence, where he devised special protection for his bedroom against possible burglars." Garver stresses that Sterling, who hated and even dreaded publicity, nevertheless figured in several cases that made sensational newspaper headlines. [...]
Ota Benga Ota Benga in 1904 Ota Benga (circa 1883[1] – March 20, 1916) was a Congolese man, an Mbuti pygmy known for being featured in an anthropology exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri in 1904, and in a controversial human zoo exhibit in 1906 at the Bronx Zoo. Benga had been freed from African slave traders by the missionary Samuel Phillips Verner, a businessman recruiting Africans for the Exposition. Displays of non-Western humans as examples of "earlier stages" of human evolution were common in the early 20th century, when racial theories were frequently intertwined with concepts from evolutionary biology. The mayor released Benga to the custody of Reverend James M. Early life[edit] As a member of the Mbuti people,[3] Ota Benga lived in equatorial forests near the Kasai River in what was then the Belgian Congo. The American businessman and missionary Samuel Phillips Verner traveled to Africa in 1904 under contract from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. St.
Diplomacy (game) Diplomacy is a strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954 and released commercially in 1959.[1] Its main distinctions from most board wargames are its negotiation phases (players spend much of their time forming and betraying alliances with other players and forming beneficial strategies)[2] and the absence of dice or other game elements that produce random effects. Set in Europe before the beginning of World War I, Diplomacy is played by two to seven players,[3] each controlling the armed forces of a major European Power (or, with few players, multiple powers). Each player aims to move his or her few starting units—and defeat those of others—to win possession of a majority of strategic cities and provinces marked as "supply centers" on the map; these supply centers allow players who control them to produce more units. In its catalog, Avalon Hill advertised Diplomacy as John F. The idea for Diplomacy arose from Allan B. For 5 or 6 players regular negotiation rules apply.
The Bravest Woman in Seattle by Eli Sanders The prosecutor wanted to know about window coverings. He asked: Which windows in the house on South Rose Street, the house where you woke up to him standing over you with a knife that night—which windows had curtains that blocked out the rest of the world and which did not? She answered the prosecutor's questions, pointing to a map of the small South Park home she used to share with her partner, Teresa Butz, a downtown Seattle property manager. When the two of them lived in this house, it was red, a bit run-down, much loved, filled with their lives together, typical of the neighborhood. Now it was a two-dimensional schematic, State's Exhibit 2, set on an easel next to the witness stand. Would your silhouettes have been visible through that sheer fabric at night? Probably. Maybe he stalked them, looked in their windows, decided they would be his victims. They were two and he was one. The prosecuting attorney asked something like: How'd it go at Weight Watchers? As if to say: Look at me.

This is a news website article about a scientific finding | Martin Robbins | Science In this paragraph I will state the main claim that the research makes, making appropriate use of "scare quotes" to ensure that it's clear that I have no opinion about this research whatsoever. In this paragraph I will briefly (because no paragraph should be more than one line) state which existing scientific ideas this new research "challenges". If the research is about a potential cure, or a solution to a problem, this paragraph will describe how it will raise hopes for a group of sufferers or victims. This paragraph elaborates on the claim, adding weasel-words like "the scientists say" to shift responsibility for establishing the likely truth or accuracy of the research findings on to absolutely anybody else but me, the journalist. In this paragraph I will state in which journal the research will be published. "Basically, this is a brief soundbite," the scientist will say, from a department and university that I will give brief credit to. Related Links:
stereomood – emotional internet radio - music for my mood and activities Remembering ‘The Homosexuals’ Editor’s note: This guest post by Scott Wooledge was originally published at Daily Kos and is published here with his permission. Scott Wooledge writes at the Daily Kos under the handle Clarknt67. 44 years ago this week, March 7, 1967, CBS News aired a Special Report hosted by Mike Wallace titled simply, “The Homosexuals.” Wallace begins quoting a 1967 CBS-commissioned opinion poll that showed “most Americans are repelled by the mere notion of homosexuality” and “two out of three look upon homosexuals with disgust, discomfort or fear. One out of ten says hatred.” He goes on to say: The majority of Americans favor legal punishment even for homosexual acts performed in private between consenting adults. Wayne Besen of Truth Wins Out calls this “the single most destructive hour of antigay propaganda in our nation’s history.” Dave White took a fresh look at this documentary in an article for The Advocate last year. I took notes. But it seems, gratefully, that ship is turning around. Friends:
ASMR: What is This Tingling Sensation in my Head? Theories and Public Reaction Some mistake this sensation for heebie-jeebies, chills, goose bumps or pins and needles. But these are all usually associated with generally negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, pain, or just being cold. ASMR is generally experienced as a positive feeling, which usually results in bouts of euphoria, with varying degrees of intensity, often described as being similar to a tide sweeping in. It can fade in and out, or can be a more constant feeling all over the cranium, spreading to various other body parts on occasion. Not everyone reportedly experiences these tingling sensations in the head and neck region however. Indeed it is a topic that not everyone understands – with people who experience it often feeling alone, isolated, and misunderstood. Generally speaking it seems to be something linked to people with certain personality traits. Others include narcolepsy – a tendency to fall asleep in relaxed situations.
