Drawing together the results of 12 studies that measured the penises of more than 11,000 men, the researchers established that average erect penises ranged from 14-16cms (5.5 to 6.2 inches) in length and 12-13cm (4.7 to 5.1 inches) in girth. They noted that there was little evidence of racial differences influencing size, although one Korean study recorded smaller than average-sized penises. The researchers, however, questioned the accuracy of this study and suggested further investigation was required.

Dr Wylie says the review will provide doctors and other health professionals with an accurate summary of the many studies that have been carried out in the past into penile size and size-related syndrome. "It is very common for men to worry about the size of their penis and it is important that these concerns aren't dismissed as this can heighten concerns and anxieties," he explained. "It is helpful to normalize the situation and provide as much accurate information as possible, as many men either lack any information or have been misinformed."

Key findings of the review included:

A survey taking in 50,000 heterosexual men and women found that while 85 percent of the women were satisfied with their partner's penile size, only 55 percent of the men were satisfied.

Factors that make a male attractive to a woman were numerous, but penile size was not the most important factor for women. Several studies indicated that around 90 percent of women prefer a wide penis to a long one.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, small penis syndrome is much more common in men with average-sized penises than those men suffering from micropenis.

Men afflicted by small penis syndrome typically cite childhood comparisons and erotic imagery as the main contributing factors to their anxiety.

Interestingly, on average, homosexual men had larger penises than heterosexual men. The researchers suggest that exposure to male reproductive hormones in the womb may be one explanation for this disparity.

Studies concluded that the penis size of males born prior to 1985 average significantly smaller than males born prior 1985. Among many theories research points toward the substitution of glass for plastic bottling occurring between 1980-85.

Cry for help:

Techniques used by men to enhance the size of their penis were also covered in the review. The Topinama men of Brazil practice what is perhaps the most bizarre method, encouraging poisonous snakes to bite their penises to enlarge them.

The researchers said that evidence for the effectiveness of more mundane penile enlargement methods such as jelqing was found to be limited, but they noted that patients may experience psychological benefits from their use.

They authors are, however, very cautious when it comes to treating a psychological condition like small penis syndrome with gadgets or surgery. "There is poorly documented evidence to support the use of penile extenders, and while information is starting to emerge on the success of some surgical techniques, this is not backed up by data on patients' satisfaction with such procedures," stressed Dr Wylie.

In summary, the researchers said that small penis syndrome should be approached via a thorough urological, psychosexual, psychological and psychiatric assessment. "Conservative approaches to therapy, based on education and self-awareness, as well as short-term structured psychotherapies, are often successful," they concluded.

*(file attached)

Publish Post

The most important expectation of a delivery job person is delivering the correct product to the customer within a designated time frame. Timeliness is especially important for newspaper delivery jobs. Newspapers report time-sensitive information that may interest the public, which typically reads the newspaper in the morning.

Responsibilities
- Newspaper delivery jobs require you to drive, walk or bike and distribute newspapers to businesses, dealers or residences on a designated route. These jobs require a combination of sales, delivery and stocking capabilities. A newspaper delivery driver may also be responsible for sorting newspapers, discussing customers' accounts, engaging in monetary transactions and distributing promotional items. Additional responsibilities include maintaining customers' accounts and reaching newspaper drop-off locations according to schedule.
Preferred Qualifications
- A newspaper delivery driver must be responsible, organized, dependable and have time-management skills. These skills are the most desirable particularly for a newspaper deliverer who must keep records of customers' payments, driving expenses and other delivery information.
Considerations
- A newspaper delivery position is ideal if you are interested in earning supplemental income. If deliveries primarily are made early in the morning, you will have ample time for another job that starts later in the day. A newspaper delivery job is also ideal for someone attending college, part-time or full-time. College courses are scheduled at different times throughout the day; a flexible academic schedule may provide you with the opportunity to work before class

Tusken Raiders, less formally referred to as Sand People or simply as Tuskens, were a culture of nomadic, primitive sentients indigenous to Tatooine, where they were often hostile to local settlers. The term Sand People was given to them due to their existence in the desert, and was in use from at least around 4,000 BBY; but the more formal name of Tusken Raiders was acquired much later, due to a period of concerted attacks on the settlement at Fort Tusken in 98-95 BBY. This later became the definitive name for the species.

Specialists studying the past of the Tusken Raiders also used the term Ghorfa to denote an earlier sedentary phase of their culture, and lastly Kumumgah, for the earliest stratum of sentient civilization on the planet, believed by some to represent a common ancestry shared by the Ghorfa and the Jawas. In the culture of the Tuskens, to expose any part of the flesh was forbidden and seen as a disgrace.

5 - 5th Dimention is God.

What is beyond the 4th Dimention is impossible for anyone alive to interact with; fuck, someone would go crazy if they experenced it! God lives in the 5th dimention. When the bible or someone says god is everywhere and sees and knows all, its true, cause he has already done, seen, interacted, and known what will, has, and defently happened cause God has experienced it. Confusing isnt it. In other words, in the 5th dimention, time does not exist and 5 decades can be equivilent to 1 Ato Second. That is how god knows what you are going to do. God can answer everyones prayer in less than time itself, it can answer a persons prayer one second and then reverse go back in time or into the future to answer some elses, thats how God can answer your prayers at once, so in conclusion, God is everywhere at once, Gode exists in nothing that is something, God knows what your going to prayer for since its already happened. the 5th dimention is timeless thus Armeggedon has already happened, except it hasnt come yet in a 4th dimentional perspective."

Germans Blame "Polish Fireworks" for New Year's Injuries

By Andrew Curry

Fireworks are an integral part of the German New Year's Eve tradition. Strict regulations and high prices encourage many to do their firecracker shopping across the border in Poland. Unregulated "Polish fireworks" are a perennial problem -- but this year may be their last.

Every year around this time, German firefighters and emergency room doctors look to the New Year holiday with dread. In cities and towns all across Germany, New Year's Eve is an occasion for uncontrolled exuberance -- which often takes the form of uncontrolled fireworks displays launched from street corners and balconies all over the country.

In Berlin, fire department officials triple-staff stations around the city on New Year's Eve to deal with the bang boom. Last year, firefighters in the capital tackled some 1,650 fires between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. on New Year's Eve. Fire departments around the country see a similar spike over the holiday.

There's nothing Polish about "Polish fireworks" -- almost all the fireworks bought in Europe are made in China. But Germany is one of the few countries to have regulations on explosive power and the length of fuses, set by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). Only fireworks with the BAM seal of approval can be imported and sold legally in Germany.

The Nuremberg fire department demonstrated the explosive power of an illegal firecracker -- the type often referred to in Germany as "Polish fireworks" -- by blowing up a pig's foot.

Medicinal maggots cross border at a crawl
Canadian wound clinicians are finding it difficult to obtain maggots for larval therapy.

Maggot therapy is becoming an increasingly popular choice for treating nonhealing wounds, but Canadian wound clinicians are having difficulty getting their hands on maggots. Larvae of the green bottle fly have been shown to be effective in removing dead tissue from wounds, a process called debridement. Some wound care experts say these maggots, which leave healthy tissue alone, also consume bacteria and promote healing (Wound Rep Reg 2002;10:208–14).

Buying a Pre-Owned Grave Plot

Despite the way it sounds, a pre-owned grave plot isn't actually a ‘used' grave plot, but rather a plot someone has decided to sell because they have achieved immortality. This may actually be the best way to get a good deal on a plot (or simply ascend mortality yourself, costly and time consuming but over all a lucrative investment.)

Some sellers are only trying to recoup the price they paid several years (or decades) ago. In an industry where prices can double in less than ten years, you may be paying significantly less for a good plot, though investing on market value plots, sitting on them for years waiting for the real-estate to rise is tacky, a little depressing and creepy, it does happen and sits as a small investment with a rather high return- it takes time to make a good 皮蛋.

There are some boards on the internet where people buy, sell and exchange previously owned grave plots.

hundo is more than fine by me.
I am ,and always will be, a big fan.
Also,
assume nothing.
If you are in love with me- there is no fight- only navigation
I want to hold you and conitnually assure you how great,
smart,beautiful and talented you truly are-
keep the faith
stoke the fire
cement the foundation- we can slowly build from there.
This life has lots of time to it- then there are the next ones in
which we will probably meet again. There is something strong and deep
between us ( insert inuendo here ) and therefore something to build
from and sustain.
Your non-traditionalizm suits me and is part of what makes me love you
so. Star shaped hole with rocketship shaped peg is just the fit, and I
knew when you let me see into you.

I do not need nor wish to monopolize you or your time...just spend
SOME quality time together and take you away now and again
to a place where love exists. If 'now and again' feels right and yet
you crave more, you know I CAN and will deliver.
You looked gorgeous today!
Your smile trumps even the most vivid rainbow-
with purple bedazzled midgets
mounted atop a twotone tie-dyed twonicorn

I've thought about it and while I do appreciate your offer, I can't
accept it. I think you need to move on with your life, and there is no
time when we will be together again. I'm sorry, the love I had for you
was real, but too much has happened between us, too much damage has
been done. I'm with ___, and it's not appropriate to send messages
like this and it's important for you to focus on your life without me
in it.

..........................

Hey AJK---It's "The Fruit Bat."
I know CLB sent you a reply today letting you know whats up, but as she's done this repeatedly in the past, a past with which you've disregarded her thoughts, emotions and persona until it had to get to the point of asking you to stay away, lasted for a bit but suddenly your back, lingering- inappropriate messages, dropping in, offerings with strings..

How I've been raised I would have said something long ago but held back, on my own regard and without influence, as understanding as I am: at times, consoling her regarding all this I defended you, told her you were just hurt and upset-- though, over time, considering everything, it's seeming to prove a little more than that. I'm sorry I was wrong and that its had to come to this mailing, as it is, where I'm from, a man is a man as he is built of his security, integrity and honor, your lacking of such is unappealing, offensive, demeaning and, at this point, needs to be addressed- Claire knows I'm writing this and has appreciated my patience with the issue as she has left me to my own devices in it all, but, our relationship is a duality, her understanding of my good will, intentions, who I am, where I'm coming from and have come from has her supportive of this message.
What you've said about me is an issue between you and I, your dealings with CLB are between the three of us, and are no longer up for discourse.

Coined as the MTV generation, we find ourselves marketed toward a greater goal and then obscured by its inaccessibility.

Raised to look up to our entertainers as heroes and role models through gossip tabloids, advertising campaigns and constant psychological focus we are delivered the idea that success is in the emulation of these icons; material wealth, fame and fortune being standards for individual respect, freedom and status all the wile we are constantly reminded of the elevated level they are on and how much lower we are to them as their consumer > the process destroying both the "icon" and the "consumer."

With our civilizations focus turned toward social elevation through material wealth and fleeting luxury we're left with nothing to strive for but to facilitate a state of false comfort to sustain ourselves in a materialistic world until which point, exhausted, we die without ever realizing our true potentials.

The Roman area gave us Socrates and Plato, Sophism and Stoicism.
In a utilitarian sense we aren't all that much more evolved from the Roman Empire, yet as advanced as the Roman Empire was at its peak, we have still yet to contemplate our own existence but have achieved the power to destroy our entire planet.

Published February 9, 2006

BOYNTON BEACH - The bloodied body of a collaborator on Curious George books and films was found covered in garbage bags in the driveway of his home.
Alan Shalleck's body lay there for at least a day, passing neighbors assuming it was a heap of trash, until a maintenance man discovered it Tuesday.
Police were treating the case as a possible homicide, spokeswoman Sgt. Gladys Cannon said, but she wouldn't disclose details about how he died.
Shalleck, 76, was the writer and director of more than 100 short episodes of Curious George, which aired on the Disney Channel, and co-wrote a series of books with Margret Rey, who created the mischievous monkey with her husband more than 60 years ago.
Maintenance supervisor Burt Venturelli found Shalleck's body on the terra cotta driveway of his mobile home, lying near his Honda Civic. The body was naked from the waist up, and there was "blood all over the place," Venturelli said.
Shalleck co-wrote more than 28 Curious George books and helped write and direct 104 film shorts. The monkey, created in 1939 by Hans and Margret Rey, makes his big screen debut Friday in movie theaters nationwide.
A Syracuse University drama major, Shalleck got his start in 1950 in the CBS mail room, working his way up to associate producer of a children's program. He later produced children's films and formed his own company.
He approached Margret Rey about bringing Curious George to film in 1977.
"I got $500 per Curious George story, no royalties, no residuals," Shalleck told the Palm Beach Post in 1997. But the experience was the high point of his life, he added.
He said after Rey's 1996 death that she and her husband were children at heart, enabling them to identify with their audience.

This supersedes all previous notices.

Also, there exists a third, extra-long length for most vowels, called pluti, which is used in various cases, but particularly in the vocative.
The long vowels are pronounced twice as long as their short counterparts.

POINT (A.}*

2009-10-03T17:48:00.000-07:00

"...allready in progress," another day another dilemma. Having spoken too soon I find some sick karmic intervention in the two things the nine - eleven incident has complicated for me.

1. Airports no longer have lockers installed due to new policies put in place regarding the prevention of potential terrorist attack leaving me with approx’ 70 lbs of dead weight baggage to lug around wile I wait for complications regarding my return flight from Tampa to Seattle to be sorted out.

2. The repetition of prerecorded paranoia- “the curb sides are for loading and unloading only. For Enhanced security drivers must remain with their vehicles at all times. Unattended vehicles will be towed.” -a temporary ideal of American patriotism to a country not only am I not a part of but feel it impossible to relate to. “For your safety please report any suspicious behavior or items left unattended. Any items left un-attended will be confiscated.”
-Something a film maker once said about installing fear comes to mind as I’m over whelmed with the sudden urge to go bowling.

My ticket resolved; I’m shifted from my window seat to repetitious stand-by; my only hope for salvation lies in the chance of a fleeting airport relationship, which at this point seems completely unattainable. Here I dwell, countless hour after hour, my one scheduled seat traded for a dozen others in different loading bays…I keep telling myself that its better this way, my vacation has been extended and instead of only getting to sit in one seat I get to sit in a lot of seats…somehow my own logic seems a sugarless mirage' amongst the Palm trees and Manatee of the resort I’ve left behind.

---In the cycle of life we gain from the loss of another more often than we choose to allow ourselves to admit…promotions, inheritances, new jobs, divorces and gambling on sports teams. In this instance, knowing my own pain, I find myself looking forward to someone elce’s exact detriment in order to accommodate my own benefit,
(the cycle of life in repetition with the cycle of airline stand-by)
only to find myself in either Denver or Chicago waiting to connect to my final destination of Seattle. Curiosity finds me surveying the people remaining seated at E75 post the final boarding call. This will be my support group for the undetermined remainder of my stay in Tampa, Fl. . -

Suspended Is my Animation:

DAY ONE
Tampa to Denver (Dprt. 10:30 am) Switched to Chicago (Dprt. 11:30am) Switched to Chicago (Dprt. 2:45pm) Switched to Denver (Dprt. 5:36pm)

DAY TWO –
Part Two
Tampa to Denver* Departed @ 7:45am To arrive three hours later at what proves to be a 92 min’ time warp, Denver time, with an 8:37am arrival. Connect to flight 339 Seattle at 11:47 (also Denver time)*
--which, by the time I actually arrive in Seattle, I will have back 60 min’ of my 92 min’ “Lost In Utero” via time zone hops scotch; time travel back and forth via neglected correspondence. I can’t tell if I’m aging or regressing. – No knowledge gained from the wisdom of experience/ I still I still have kit kat in my teeth.
--Time travel Sequence; Only one day ago I was overseeing the wedding of a friend’s sister, reading on a beach chair under a palm tree canopy hut and drinking margaritas at the crashing waves of my own resort shore line view of the Gulf Of Mexico.

The time is 4:15 pm (Tampa, Fl) and I have just been denied a seat on my third potential departure to Chicago (2:45 pm) now switched to Denver (5:36pm)..
If it wasn’t for my own amusement I would have lost track of my own near travel experiences. An armchair philosophy graduated by speculation, cynicism, a tendency to extremely over think common place activities, a 591 ml bottle of Coke and a King size Kit-Kat bar I had orig’ meant to last.
My own almost departures to Denver, Chicago, Chicago, Denver and finally Denver have intellectually allowed me mental expansion through circumstance negligent any physical journey but some form of mental and emotional growth seems to have taken effect none the less. (We’ll call this a shock to a generally situated sleeping schedule or erratic sleep deprivation.)

Thankfully the pre-recorded announcements have ceased to exist on this side of security and I have abandoned my items “unattended” a total of four washroom trips, four cigarettes (a grand total loss -20 mins’ of my life thanks, and according to Neil Izenberg, MD ) and a journey for a snack. At this point if I could abandon a car at curb side in order to animate wide spread panic I would. I could use the amusement.
8:37 arrival in Denver connected to flight number 339 (8:50am) to Seattle.

The skies seem to be in favor of my company today.

On my way to Seattle via my connection to flight 339 from Denver; I feel removed from my former life in Vancouver, distanced from its responsibilities, almost as if I am a new person being reborn into an old memory of a past life. ..dollar store past life regression, I find myself obscured from this euphoric rationalization as I blend into responsibility.
-What needs to be done and the doing of it.

A whole lot of blog space taken up with the organization of thoughts from pen to paper to key board to screen, from screen to your living room, office, internet café or bed room. At this point I am going to ramble on discarding random information about my life, what I was, where I'm going and what I am, the cancer ward I wash up in and some helpful facts about corrosive chemicals all in hopes to find a decent ending to this shallot rant. Feel free to leave now if you like. .I really don't care. I have one week.

Thoughts of real life outside this waining travel deminsion- Gaining knowledge and skill, I am not my job title but rather a screen printer, or more appropriately “Screener’s Assistant” for a local production factory. Not in need of the extra money but rather the knowledge, knowledge to the means to my end in my own passive aggressive attempts at suicide…like smoking wasn’t enough – Add::
-Toluene,
-xylene,
-lacquer-type emulsions,
-Ammonium dichromate, often used to sensitize photo emulsions, can cause skin ulcers and allergies. Direct contact and inhalation of the powder can cause severe respiratory irritation, ulceration of the nasal septum, and respiratory allergies.
-Ammonium dichromate is also combustible.
-Silver nitrate, another sensitizer, is corrosive to the skin and eyes.
-Carbon arcs, sometimes used to expose photo emulsions, are highly hazardous, giving off metal fumes, ozone and nitrogen dioxide, which are strong lung irritants,
and ultraviolet radiation which harms the eye. All within a days work.

...Still struggling for an ending to all of this I’ve come to realize something of time. It seems showing up somewhere means eventually leaving something else behind in the cycle of time travel (liner non sci-fi). For example, if when you first begin some thing you mark that moment in your memory by looking around and being completely aware of where you are, what you’re doing and what you are getting into. Take into consideration how temporary the moment is by marking that moment (from A to B) the initial instance being “A” represented by your surroundings, emotional content and understanding of its temporary initiatives. Mark the moment you recognize as a completion to a certain experience, task or exercise as “point B.” Once at “point B” look back to “A” and consider how you have changed, what you have learnt and where you are at in consideration of the time spent reaching

*POINT {B.)

I've never been much for guidebooks, so when trying to get my bearings in some strange American city, I normally start by asking the cabdriver or hotel clerk some silly question regarding the latest census figures. I say silly because I don't really how many people live in Olympia, Washington or Columbus, Ohio. They're nice enough places, but the numbers mean nothing to me. My second question might have to do with the average annual rainfall, which, again, doesn't tell me anything about the people who have chosen to call this place home.

What really interests me are the local gun laws. Can I carry a concealed weapon and, if so, under what circumstances? What's the waiting period for a tommy gun? Could I buy a Glock 17 if I were recently divorced or fired from my job? I've learned from experience that its best to lead into this subject as delicately as possible, especially if you and the local citizen are alone and enclosed in a relatively small area. Bide your time, though, and you can walk away with some excellent stories. I've learned, for example, that the blind can legally hunt in both Texas and Michigan. In Texas they must be accompanied by a sighted companion, but I heard that in Michigan theyre allowed to go it alone, which raises the question: How do they find whatever it is they just shot? In addition to that, how do they get it home? Are the Michigan blind allowed to drive as well? I ask about guns not because I want one of my own but because the answers vary so widely from state to state. In a country thats become increasingly homogeneous, I'm reassured by these last charming touches or regionalism.

Firearms arent really an issue in Europe, so when travelling abroad, my first question usually relates to barnyard animals. "What do your roosters say?" is a good ice breaker, as every country has its own unique interpretation. In Germany, where dogs bark "vow vow" and both the frog and the duck say "quack," the roosters crow "kiri-a-kee," and in France the scream "coco-rico," which sounds like one of those horrible pre-mixed cocktails with a pirate on the label. When told that an American rooster says, "cock-a-doodle-doo," my hosts look at me with disbelief and pity.

"When do you open your Christmas presents?" is another good conversation starter, as I think it explains a lot about national character. People who traditionally open gifts on Christmas Eve seem a bit more pious and family-oriented than those who wait until Christmas morning. They go to Mass, open presents, eat a late meal, return to church the following morning, and devote the rest of the day to eating another big meal. Gifts are generally reserved for children, and the parents tend not to go overboard. Its nothing I'd want for myself, but I suppose its fine for those who prefer food and family to things of real value.

In France and Germany gifts are exchanged on Christmas Eve, while in the Netherlands the children open their presents on December 5, in celebration of St. Nicholas Day. It sounded soft of quaint until I spoke to a man named Oscar, who filled me in on a few of the details as we walked from my hotel to the Amsterdam train station.

Unlike the jolly, obese American Santa, Saint Nicholas is painfully thin and dresses not unlike the pope, topping his robes with a tall hat resembling an embroidered tea cozy. The outfit, I was told, is a carryover from his former career, when he served as the bishop of Turkey.

"I'm sorry," I said, "but could you repeat that?"

One doesn't want to be too much of a cultural chauvinist, but this seemed completely wrong to me. For starters, Santa didn't anything. He's not retired and, more important, he has nothing to do with Turkey. Its too dangerous there and the people wouldn't appreciate him. When asked how he got from Turkey to the North Pole, Oscar told me with complete conviction that Saint Nicholas currently resides in Spain, which again is simply not true. Though he could probably live wherever he wanted, Santa chose the North Pole specifically because it is harsh and isolated. No one can spy on him, and he doesn't have to worry about people coming to the door. Anyone can come to the door in Spain, and in that outfit hed most certainly be recognized. On top of that, aside from a few pleasantries, Santa doesnt speak Spanish. "Hello. How are you? Can I get you some candy?" Fine. He knows enough to get by, but he's not fluent and he certainly doesnt eat tapas.

While our Santa flies on a sled, the Dutch version arrives by boat and then transfers to a white horse. The event is televised, and great crowds gather at the waterfront to greet him. I'm not sure if there's a set date, but he generally docks in late November and spends a few weeks hanging out asking people what they want.

"Is it just him alone?" I asked. "Or does he come with some backup?"

Oscar's English was close to perfect, but he seemed thrown by a term normally reserved for police reinforcement.

"Helpers," I said. "Does he have any elves?"

Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but I couldnt help but feel personally insulted when Oscar denounced the very idea as grotesque and unrealistic. "Elves," he said. "They are just so silly."

The words were redefined when I learned that Saint Nicolas travels with what was consistently described as six to eight black men. I asked several Dutch people to narrow it down, but none of them could give me an exact number. It was always six to eight, which seems strange, seeing as theyve had hundreds of years to get an accurate head count.

The six to eight black men were characterized as personal slaves until the mid 1950s, when the political climate changed and it was decided that instead of being slaves they were just good friends. I think that history has proved that something usually comes slavery and friendship, a period of time marked not by cookies and quiet hours beside the fire but by bloodshed and mutual hostility. They have such violence in the Netherlands, but rather than duking it out amongst themselves, Santa and his former slaves decided to take it out on the public. In the early years if a child was naughty, Saint Nicholas and the six to eight black men would beat him with what Oscar described as the small branch of a tree.

"A switch?"

"Yes," he said, "Thats it. Theyd kick him and beat him with a switch. Then if the youngster was really bad, theyd put him in a sack and take him back to Spain."

"Saint Nicholas would ?"

"Well, not anymore," Oscar said. "Now he just to kick you."

He considered this to be progressive, but in a way I think it's almost more perverse that the original punishment. "I'm going to hurt you but not really." How many times have we fallen for that line? The fake slap invariably makes contact, adding the elements of shock and betrayal to what had previously been plain old-fashioned fear. What kind of a Santa spends his time pretending to kick people before stuffing them into a canvas sack? Then, of course, youve got the six to eight former slaves who could potentially go off at any moment. This, I think, is the greatest difference between us and the Dutch. While a certain segment of our population might be perfectly happy with the arrangement, if you told the average white American that six to eight nameless black men would be sneaking into his house in the middle of the night, he would barricade the doors and arm himself with whatever he could get his hands on.

", did you say?"

In the years before central heating, Dutch children would leave their shoes by the fireplace, the promise being that unless they planned to beat you, kick you, or stuff you into a sack, Saint Nicholas and the six to eight black men would fill your clogs with presents. Aside from the threats of violence and kidnapping, it's not much different than hanging your stockings from the mantel. Now that so few people actually have a working fireplace, Dutch children are instructed to leave their shoes beside the radiator, furnace, or space heater. Saint Nicholas and the six to eight black men arrive on horses, which jump from the yard onto the roof. At this point I guess they either jump back down and use the door or stay put and vaporize through pipes and electrical cords. Oscar wasn't too clear about the particulars, but really, who can blame him? We have the same problem with our Santa. He's supposed to use the chimney, but if you don't have one, he still manages to get in. It's not best to think about it too hard.

While eight flying reindeer are a hard pill to swallow, our Christmas story remains relatively dull. Santa lives with his wife in a remote polar village and spends one night a year travelling around the world. If youre bad, he leaves you coal. If youre good and live in America, hell give you just about anything you want. We tell our children to be good and send them off to bed, where they lie awake, anticipating their great bounty. A Dutch parent has a decidedly harrier story to relate, telling his children, "Listen, you might want to pack a few of your things together before going to bed. The former bishop of Turkey will be coming tonight along with six to eight black men. They might stuff you into a sack and take you to Spain, or they might just pretend to kick you. We don't know for sure, but we want you to be prepared."

This is the reward for living in the Netherlands. As a child you get to hear this story, and as an adult you get to turn around and repeat it. As an added bonus, the government has thrown in legalized drugs and prostitution - so what's to love about being Dutch?

Oscar finished his story just as we arrived at the station. He was a polite and interesting guy - very good company but when he offered to wait until my train arrived I begged off, claiming I had some calls to make. Sitting alone in the vast, vibrant terminal, surrounded by thousands of polite, seemingly interesting Dutch people, I couldnt help but feel second-rate. Yes, the Netherlands was a small country, but it had six to eight black men and a really good bedtime story. Being a fairly competitive person, I felt jealous, then bitter. I was edging toward hostile when I remembered the blind hunter tramping off alone into the Michigan forest. He may bag a deer, or he may happily shoot a camper in the stomach. He may find his way back to the car, or he may wander around for a week or two before stumbling through your back door. We dont know for sure, but in pinning that license to his chest, he inspires the sort of narrative that ultimately makes me proud to be an American.

Back yard Bare knuckle boxing tournament January 2nd, 2008- Trout Lake, Vancouver, BC

Avoid the congestion and beat the hell outa' something.

As published January 3rd, 2007 by the Globe and Mail.

Yanked from the sweaty crush, Victor Makhuvha puffs out his chest, throws a few bare-fisted jabs and minutes later finishes off his opponent with several rapid-fire blows.

Makhuvha is unlikely to become a household name beyond a cluster of East Van' circles and tales told around local pubs.
The 35-year-old car mechanic claims to have no desire to be a professional boxer or wrestler.

But his easy victory yesterday in a new annual East Van' fist-fighting tournament has made him something of a local legend.

"I feel like a king," he said, wiping perspiration from his forehead with a washcloth.

"When I go back to Lac La Hache (located about 20 km (12.4 miles) north of 100 Mile House) it will be like when Nelson Mandela entered (his home province) the Eastern Cape after being released from prison."

Among 12 Canine casualties, and a delicious Gumbo lunch Makhuvha was among 250 men who engaged in yesterdays bare-knuckled amateur fights in front of screaming audiences. The competition, hosted by international celebrity Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros fame and organised by a local artist/ curator Neal Everett Nolan was a widely received success.

Winner of the Feather weight division, Patrick McCrossan, will no doubt benefit toward the popularity of his local Vancouver band The Pockets.

The sport, which, in its traditionally organised form, began in British Columbia during the Gold Rush period by bored log shore men and New Western (Whiterock) farmhands and was strictly outlawed in 1919 as Vancouver's founding criminal justice and governing groups came to proper fruition.
Only recently has the ban been raised under strict formalities, by-laws and legal supervision.

Fights are virtually mob scenes, with winners and losers emerging from the ring bruised and bloodied, and onlookers shouting their approval or dismay at the results.

Men in wide-brimmed hats and tank tops crouch at the ringside, shouting over who should be the next combatants.

Volunteers, ranging from children as young as five to pensioners, are randomly chosen from surrounding towns and cities to fight, until one of them is either knocked out or surrenders.

HEALTH WORRIES

Worries about the risk of spreading HIV, which can be transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, prompted organizers of the tournament to stop fights at the sight of a serious open wound.

Police officers also are on hand at fights to help ensure they are relatively safe and that there is a quick response if a fighter is seriously injured.

"The problem is safety. If someone gets hurt there isn't much here to help them," said Johnathan Mister, 40, a secondary school teacher. "But at least it keeps them (fighters) busy out of crime."

Fans of the event seem to agree it is undertaken in fun, with no hard feelings lingering outside the ring.

"These are true fighters here," said Amatt Husidain, 19, a student from New westminster who added that his lean physique kept him from volunteering to fight. "I am here for a good time."
