Omg I have a cock just like his. I'll fuck you real hard.
I watched a lot of John Homes on video tape mostly from the 80s and one thing I remember is yes good looking larger than average cock, but he never seemed to get really hard. The best thing seeing these retro clips is nearly all the gogeous women in porn at this time didn't shave. For me this is a real treat watching women in all there natural glory. A shaved cunt is still a cunt but you can't beet a bit of hair to floss your teeth with.
lovely natural girls without tons of artificial boobs
love it
John Holmes, the legend!
Pithless cock.
What a great cock! How good it must feel to have THAT cock up your ass!
i want to be eating that hairy pussy
What a beautiful dick!!! Would suck it anytime
Biography for John Holmes (I) More at IMDbPro » ad feedbackDate of Birth 8 August 1944, Ashville, Ohio, USA Date of Death 13 March 1988, Los Angeles, California, USA (AIDS-related illness) Birth Name John Curtis Estes Nickname The King of Porn The Sultan of Smut Johnny Wadd Wonderland Long John Silver Height 6' 2" (1.88 m) Mini Biography Born John Curtis Estes on August 8, 1944, in rural Pickaway County, Ohio, the youngest of four children, John was raised by a religious fanatic mother, named Mary, and an abusive alcoholic stepfather, named Harold Bowman. He was a bible student, but at the age of 16 dropped out of school, left home, and went through a stint in the U.S. Army, where he was stationed in West Germany for three years. After his discharge, Holmes moved to Los Angeles in 1964 where he married a young nurse, and worked odd jobs from a taxi driver, a door-to-door salesman, postal clerk, temp worker, coffee vat attendant, ambulance driver, and a forklift driver. In the late 1960s, he gravitated to the underground porno industry. One story was that a female neighbor was making porno loops and advised Holmes he could make good money. Unfortunately his first check bounced and after that he always insisted on payment in cash. Another story is when in 1967, Holmes frequented a mens card playing club in Gardenia when a photographer for an underground magazine noticed his large 'member' while standing next to him in a restroom urinal and gave Holmes his business card to work in still photo magazines. By 1969, with the advent of X-rated porn films, Holmes moved into the movie business. With his tall, slim build with curly light brown hair, a light mustache, and bright blue eyes which made him an instant recognizable man, John was not lacking for work, bringing not only a professional attitude but also his legendary endowment (12 5/8" long according to a Screw Magazine interview while other conflicting stories put it at 13 1/2" long). His enormously long 'member' got him starring roles in over 2,000 loops, stag films, and adult features in a career that spanned nearly 20 years (with a peak of a $3,000-a-day salary). His lucrative off-screen penis-for-hire business took him around the world. His most famous character is probably Johnny Wadd, a lusty, always on-the-make detective he played in several crude porno films like 'Tell Them Johnny Wadd is Here' (1976), 'The Jade Pussycat' (1977), 'China Cat' (1978), 'Liquid Lips' (1976), and 'Blond Fire' (1978), the last of which is considered the best of the so-called 'Wadd Films'. Better still were the big-budgeted pictures that co-starred some of the adult film industry's top leading ladies including Marilyn Chambers, Seka, Annette Haven, and even a young, underage Traci Lords. In late 1970s, Holmes fell victim to drug abuse which prevented him from performing in the on-screen sex, making him drop out of the adult film business. By late 1980, Holmes was broke with all of his millions spent on drugs which he never fully got over his addition. He made money by robbing peoples houses and cars, as well as delivering drugs for the local gangsters. The lowest point in his life was when he was implicated in four grisly, drug-related murders on July 1, 1981. He was allegedly present at the drug-related torture and murders of William Deverell, Ronald Launius, Joy Miller, and Barbara Richardson by a gang of unknown henchmen sent by a powerful gangster, named Eddie Nash. A fifth victim, Susan Launius (Ronald Launius's estranged wife), barely survived the attack and had no memory of the event. The bloody crime made lurid headlines throughout southern California and became known as The Wonderland Murders, named after the street in the wooded Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles where the killings took place. Holmes refused to tell the police what he knew and went on the run for nearly six months, with his teenage mistress, Dawn Shiller, before he was taken into custody while hiding out in Florida. The authorities, angered by Holmes' refusal to co-operate with the investigation, put him on trial for committing all four murders. After a three-month, semi-public trial, Holmes was finally acquitted on June 26, 1982. Although found not guilty of the murders, he remained in jail for burglary and contempt-of-court charges until his release in November 1982. The true nature and details of the Laurel Canyon murders remains unsolved to this day. After his release from prison, Holms tried to clean up his act and continue his porno career with a new generation of porno stars. But his drug addiction continued off-and-on and although the work in the porno business was still plentiful, it was no longer lucrative, plus he was no longer the prominent male star. Later, Holmes was diagnosed with AIDS late in 1985. He continued working until around 1986 which his increasingly gaunt physical appearance began to give away the true nature of his health. John Holmes died at the veteran's Administration Hospital at Sepulveda, California on March 13, 1988 of AIDS-related complications at age 43, with his second wife at his side, former porn star Misty Dawn. Holmes once estimated he'd had sex with over 14,000 women (on and off screen), and was truly a porn legend. His life was used as the basis for the film Boogie Nights (1997), and he was portrayed by Val Kilmer in the film Wonderland (2003), but the conflicting truth about his life, as always, was stranger than fiction. IMDb Mini Biography By: Shreck & matt-282 Spouse Misty Dawn (24 January 1987 - 13 March 1988) (his death) Sharon Holmes (April 1965 - January 1983) (divorced) Trade Mark Gold ring with diamonds in the shape of a dragon fly, which he designed. Always carried a briefcase which contained a fifth of J&B Scotch. Aside from the Brobdingnagian size of his endowment, Holmes was unique in American porn as he was uncircumcized Trivia The film Boogie Nights (1997) is based on Holmes' life. On June 26, 1982, he was found not guilty of the infamous Wonderland gang ("Four on the Floor") murders. Diagnosed with AIDS in 1985. Holmes made about 2000 full-length hardcore features, including a 3-D thriller and a film about his life story - Exhausted: John C. Holmes, the Real Story (1981) (V). Appeared in 2,274 pornographic films, more than anyone else. Since having lost his virginity at age 12 to a 36-year-old friend of his mother he is said to have copulated with more that 14,000 women in his life, both on and off screen. His mother's maiden name was Barton. Nicknamed himself Johnny "Cash" Holmes during the early years of his porn career because he would only take his payments in cash since he was supposedly swindled out of $100 by a bad check for his very first porn loop. Did not tell the porn industry that he was HIV positive and continued to star in films. Even went so far as to go to Europe to make porno movies because they didn't know he was HIV positive. His Los Angeles quadruple-murder trial in 1982, in which he was acquitted, was the first trial in American Jurisprudence where videotape was introduced as evidence. Is portrayed by Val Kilmer in Wonderland (2003). In the early 80s he was a frequent visitor to the Hollywood Hills. He would always sing Gordon Lightfoot's song "If You Could Read My Mind" to his girlfriend Dawn Schiller. The song is played in the movie Wonderland (2003) at the end of the film. He often claimed to be a college graduate with majors ranging from Physical Therapy to Polical Science. The truth was that he never graduated from high school having dropped out of public school in the ninth grade. He was so successful as a performer in the adult film industry, and he was in such high demand, if it wasn't for his voracious cocaine habit, he would have been a millionaire while still in his 30s. Personal Quotes Friends will get you killed. [Asked why he stays in the bathroom so long on sets] "I don't always hide in the bathroom, sometimes I hide other places. It's just that the bathroom is usually the only room with a lock on the door." A happy gardener is one with dirty fingernails, and a happy cook is a fat cook. I never get tired of what I do because I'm a sex fiend. I'm very lusty. I don't take drugs. Drugs take me. I've never found a girl who could not take it. It's really in the way you do it, though. I've had some women say they've had guys half my size who couldn't get it in. The problem is that most guys don't know how to read a lady and what she really wants. With some, you have to be gentle and romantic and with others you just have to get down and dirty. The secret is you have to get in touch with what they want. Personally, I think it's all great fun. It's something everybody does and the more you practice the better you get at it. I can see a girl in a restaurant now and tell you how to approach her. Sometimes you get a girl to work with who is gorgeous and with a fantastic body. That makes it all much easier. But I can concentrate on just one aspect of a girl if she doesn't sexually appeal to me. I can concentrate on the color of her nipple or something like that and it gives me the necessary mental focus. Salary The Private Pleasures of John C.

Taylor Swift Brings Darius Rucker on Stage to Perform 'Alright'
It seems like Taylor Swift has friends in all kinds of places — she thanked more than a dozen peers in her CMA Entertainer of the Year speech alone. On Friday (Nov. 18), during her concert in Columbia, S.C., the 'Ours' hitmaker added Darius Rucker to the list of stars she's performed with.
"You know, my favorite country artist is from South Carolina," the 21-year-old superstar told her audience, which then erupted in a sea of blood-curdling screams. Swift added, subtly hinting who would show up next and what song they'd perform, "And I hope it's alright with you if we have a guest tonight."
Within seconds, Mr. Rucker appeared at the top of Swift's elaborate set staircase and started right into his big hit 'Alright.' The country singer sported his usual t-shirt, baseball cap and boots, but his home state crowd didn't seem to mind the casual look — they sang along with every word.
Rucker descended the staircase and Swift joined him at the bottom, where they then took center stage side-by-side and finished out the song together, much to the South Carolina fans' delight.
Taylor Swift's Speak Now Tour wraps up with three huge finale shows in Los Angeles and a double-whammy in New York next week, and we suspect she'll bring out her biggest surprise guests yet!

There are some folks who are not happy about Chinese purchases of US commodities.Tweet
Every Thursday the grain market anxiously anticipates the export sales for the week, indicating the amount of corn and soybeans to be shipped abroad, and particularly how much will be going to China. That nation is hungry, growing larger, and has more money to buy what it not only needs, but wants. Subsequently, the US corn and soybean producer has been a willing seller to China, and the nearly one billion bushels of US beans and hundreds of millions of bushels of US corn will be sold to China. Most folks would say that is a good thing. Most. Not all.
The Chinese economy has been growing for the past four decades and recorded a 9.1% expansion in 2011. It is currently the second largest economy and is growing. The US is the largest economy and it is shrinking. Along with this dynamic is the economic growth of the livestock revolution which is a demand-driven factor necessary to feed the nation's people. To supply the necessary feed for livestock has become a US responsibility, but that is causing concern to University of Nebraska agricultural economists Azzeddine Azzam and Sarah Rehkamp.
They report that pork is the leading meat consumed in China, followed by chicken, and beef at a distant third. And its consumption of pork has outpaced US pork consumption for the past four decades, and is now six times higher.
The economist's characterization of Chinese need for US livestock feed is a mixed blessing, and while demand for US grain is a good market, it results in higher US food prices, and puts added stress on water resources. 60% of global soybean production is consumed in China, and 35% of the soybeans shipped to China originate in the US and represent 25% of US production. A similar case is made for corn, due to the need for corn-based feed for livestock production. The Nebraska researchers say China harvests as much corn acreage, as does the US, but with poor fertility, the production is cut by half. Consequently, the Chinese demand for US corn will be felt in the US economy, "Combined with competing demands for feed grains (think India's demand for food), higher meat consumption in China is expected to lead to higher food prices here at home. The strain is expected to be felt by U.S. households, particularly low earners."
The researchers also express concern about China's food demand impacting the US water supply. "Producing more soybeans and corn in the U.S. to satisfy domestic and international demand, particularly China's, will require more water, adding more stress to this natural resource, especially in the face of climate change." Azzam and Rehkamp both report that economists expect studies to show the weather being stressed by having an insufficient supply of precipitation for both big crops. And that will lead to more water use, "Moreover, feeding a growing number of pigs and chickens and raising them to slaughter in China will require even more water."
The Chinese economy is growing rapidly allowing its citizens to have more food, particularly more meat in their diet. While much of the meat is produced in China along with livestock feed, China has to import significant quantities of corn and soybeans, as well as pork and poultry from other nations, the US being one of the prime suppliers. Such foreign demand may bolster US commodity values, but it also competes with the US consumer for the supply, raising domestic food prices. With water being a necessary ingredient for both grain and livestock production, pressure is also put on US water supplies.

and here is an excerpt from Baran's response to that:Sara H wrote:This is an excerpt of some comments by Rev. Master Daishin Morgan, the Abbot of Throssel Hole, in response to that thread:...
I did NOT make up that at one point everyone in the Abbey became part of her fantasies about Jesus and Mary and Judas. And absolutely she claimed to have been St. John of the Cross and Bodhidharma. Later, even she realized how wacko the whole visualizations had become and she and Daizui changed or edited the story. All good mythology needs editors. And, yes, by the time I left, the drama had calmed down.
I shared the three dimes story because it was a good example of Kennett's mindset. Believe me, she wasn't joking. She wasn't lighthearted. She wasn't just saying, "keep in touch." There were so many other examples of her demonizing people who left, predicting bad things would happen, making leave-taking so painful and dramatic. There is no surprise here.
It is certainly possible that she thought she was doing something clever when she gave me the dimes - or she might have decided it was some kind of zen compassionate act. That doesn't make it any less distorted and outright mean. She was lost in her own grandiose fantasy so anything is possible.
In Kennett's mind, she could never, ever do anything "wrong" - so of course, she cast the story as -- Josh has misunderstood. That's the grand story. of not only Shasta, but many small cultic organizations. Teacher = perfect and always in the right / light. Followers = confused, ignorant, wrong, feelings not only don't matter, it's just their koan, their impediments. That's why I left. This is a very harmful story.
By the way, it was just her and me in the room, as far as I remember. So whatever any account you heard of this -- it must have come from her.

When Does 'The Voice' Season 3 Start?
Details on the next season of NBC's 'The Voice' are being revealed slowly. The network is teasing fans with small morsels, one bite at a time, but they have shared when fans can expect to start tuning in — so when does Season 3 of 'The Voice' start?
The fall 2012 version of 'The Voice' will officially kick off on September 10 at 8PM ET on NBC.
According to NBC.com, the show will air on Monday and Tuesday for its fall season, likely wrapping up during November sweeps months. Last season, Blake Shelton's contestant Jermaine Paul was chosen as 'The Voice' after the former Alicia Keys backup singer brought intensity and focus to every performance.
Shelton will have a new set of advisors this season. While Miranda Lambert and Kelly Clarkson joined him in molding his team during Season 2, it's going to be Michael Buble helping the 'Over' singer during Season 3. Shelton and Buble have a relationship that goes back to at least 2008, when the country singer covered Buble's 'Home,' turning it into a No. 1 hit. So far, no other details about his team have been leaked.

Story - 7 : COURAGEOUS
One day Satyavati was travelling by a train. There was a heavy rush in the
train, so Satyavati closed her eyes and began to recite Namokar-Mantra.
Sometime later, a woman told Satyavati, "Oh my daughter please sit on the
berth". Satyavati opened her eyes and saw a lady also who was holding a
child in her lap. Satyavati told her to come and sit in her place. She
told the lady,"Your child is weeping, I can stand easily".
Suddenly another old woman started weeping. Satyavati asked her,"Mother
why are you weeping?" The woman said that someone had stolen her five
hundred rupees, which she had arranged for the treatment of her sick son.
Hearing this Satyavati became restless. She decided to find out the thief.
She looked into the face of each passenger, and stopped at once in front
of a man. She said to him,"Oh brother, why did you steal the money of a
poor lady? Return her money." The man asked her, "How do you know that I
am the thief?" She replied," I have read your face". After hearing this,
the man felt ashamed and returned the five hundred rupees. From that day,
the man took an oath not to steal in future.

hi all. i can't find this on the faq.
- is there a way to edit a quick tip?
- is there any "quality control" for those quick tips?
sometimes i want to give some comments on a quick tip. will i just pm the poster or start a general chit-chat about it?
for example, there is a quick tip (i don't remember the exact words or who the poster is) like this: "to avoid getting flamed, don't post". well, while it's true, it sounds very discouraging. what about "quality post, or no post" ?

GRANTSBORO � The Grantsboro Planning Board gave its OK Thursday night for a Walmart request for an ordinance variance allowing 242 parking spaces for a planned Walmart Supercenter on N.C. 55.
GRANTSBORO � The Grantsboro Planning Board gave its OK Thursday night for a Walmart request for an ordinance variance allowing 242 parking spaces for a planned Walmart Supercenter on N.C. 55.
The matter will go to the full Grantsboro town council Oct. 1, when approval is expected, followed by a public hearing two weeks later.
The retail giant announced this week plans to build a �small� 70,000-square-foot Supercenter in the town of about 700 residents.
It is one of two stores the nation�s largest retailer plans for Pamlico County, the other being a 12,000-square-foot Express store just outside the town limits of Oriental.
While there has been organized opposition against the Oriental store, no formal group has protested the building of the Grantsboro store, which would be located behind the site of the under-construction State Employees Credit Union, across N.C. 55 from the Pamlico Square Shopping Center.
Two people spoke at the Thursday night meeting, expressing displeasure with Walmart locating in Grantsboro, although neither complaint addressed the issue of parking.
Planning board chairman Ray Lewis noted that Walmart met the town�s zoning ordinance and could place a store in Grantsboro even if it were not granted the parking variance. Walmart officials who attended the meeting confirmed that statement.
The variance allows for one parking space per 300-square feet of store space, more than the town�s current allowance of one space per 200-square-feet of building gross space.
It was noted that this would actually reduce the footprint of the parking lot, about three acres � making for less storm water runoff.
Eric Litchfield, the district marketing manager for Walmart located from the coast to Mount Olive, told the board that the Grantsboro store would be the second 70,000-square-foot store in the chain, the other being in Georgia.
He said the New Bern Supercenter was about 200,000-square-feet.
�If you run a good business, you can compete with Walmart,� he said of local concerns about the chain store harming small local businesses. �We like to be a good neighbor. We have found a need to return to our roots in small towns.�
Litchfield said afterward he was happy with the outcome.
�We appreciate the hospitality. This is local government at its best,� he said. �And, with this, we are making the parking lot smaller.�
The Grantsboro tract is about 14 acres, with about 9 acres housing the store and its parking area.
The company submitted plans this week to the Pamlico County building inspector for the two new stores. Walmart currently has stores in New Bern and Havelock.
A spokesman said earlier in the week that upon permit approvals, construction could begin next month, with the two stores opening in 2014.
Charlie Hall can be reached at 252-635-5667 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Feedly Factory you can design your own Feedly button through an easy three-step process:
- Select your button design
- Load your feed URL
- Copy your HTML
I added this Follow on Feedly button on my blogs a couple of weeks ago. I have one additional suggestion - be sure to check the link that it does successfully add the blog to your Feedly reader. You might have to tweak the html to make it work.
Thank you, Elizabeth! I had incorrectly just used my blog URL, when I should have used my feed URL. I have updated the post to reflect that suggestion. Thank you for suggesting the correction!
I found Feedly's instructions for determining my "feed URL" to be impossible. I ended up Googling to find a tutorial elsewhere. It was actually quite easy.
Wendy, that is a good idea. Based on your suggestion I added an update with a link to Blogger's feed URL instructions. Thanks!
I love your blog! Your instructions are so clear, and you manage to uncomplicate difficult processes very well. You've helped me out of a bind more than once!

Fannie 4.0s just crossed above the 1/8th of a point mark in terms of improvement from this morning's early rate sheet print times. In other words, while prices are up 7 ticks in total on the day, 5 of those have come since 9:30am. This introduces positive reprice potential for a few lenders. Fannie 4.0s are currently at 103-15.
10yr yields are now down 2bps to 2.943, their lowest levels of the day/week/month.
The overnight session was underwhelming with little movement in Treasuries during Asian or European hours. By 8:30, 10yr yields were less than 1bp lower than yesterday and Fannie 4.0 MBS only 1/32nd higher.
The International Trade report was so extremely unimportant to markets that it won't even get it's own separate update this morning, but for record-keeping purposes:
The 5 minutes following the data were about the slowest of the day--not typical behavior after data that matters.
Thankfully, if there's any bias to the day so far, it's a positive one for bond markets. Fannie 4.0s are currently up 3 ticks at 103-10 and 10yr yields are down 1.26bps at 2.9484. The afternoon has a few events: a 3yr Note auction at 1pm (usually not much of a market mover if at all) and a speech from San Francisco Fed's Williams at 2:30pm.

A New Genre for Genealogy Books?
The latest issue (Summer 2010) of American Ancestors by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) features a book (p. 38) called "The Obermeyers: A History of a Jewish Family in Germany and America, 1618-2009" by Kenneth Libo and Michael Feldberg. I haven't read the book yet but Lynn Betlock describes it like this: "Information on early generations reflects a range of historical and genealogical sources, while twentieth-century family members are brought to life through first-person accounts and reminiscences." Part one of the book focuses on the family's life in Germany. Part two describes their more recent life in the United States.
Betlock puts into print exactly what I've been thinking about when she says "Genealogists often want their books to distill and document their research for posterity - and at the same time provide an engaging read for close family members."
More and more we are seeing this combination of the past and the present with books that are written for a wide audience but are definitely more personal in nature.
Is there a word for this new genre? If so, I'd like to know what it is.
Also, if you have read any other books that fit into this category please let me know. I think this could be the wave of the future for genealogy books.

A couple years ago I was fortunate to find a short work self-published in 1966 by collateral relatives:ReplyDelete
Craig, James B., "James Craig, Daphne Cook Craig, 1823-1896" (Hague, NY: R. C. Craig, 1966) [60 pp, downloaded: 23 Mar 2008 from Heritage Quest].
Although the information is organized by generation, the earlier generations are based upon "traditional" genealogical research, the later generations are based upon contributions from living descendants and include their stories and memories.
The traditional research has proved, for the most part, to be reliable (so far!), the shared personal memories are priceless, and the author's personal reflections are engaging, and to me, moving...all these factors make these 60 pages a treasured source. I hope I'll have time to share my work in a similar fashion.

Create a Well-Designed Space with Pendant Lighting
Elegantly suspended from the ceiling, pendant lighting is a perfect lighting solution for any room in the house. Pendant lights are designed to provide task and ambient lighting, however, the true focal point of the light fixture is the shade. Pendant light shades can be made from a variety of materials, ranging from metal to glass to fabric, come in several sizes from mini to large pendants, and boast classic shapes such as a globe or drum shape or a unique, abstract design. There are even bulb pendant lights which are void of the shade altogether, that showcase the beauty of ultimate simplicity. Due to the vast amount of available styles, modern pendant light fixtures allow you to customize your space by either making a bold, design statement or perfectly complementing a rooms overall decor.
Pendant Lights for Every Room and Style
Drum Pendant Lights: Just like its name suggests, drum pendant lighting boasts a classic, tailored shade in the shape of a drum. From graphic and colorful to minimal and monochromatic, these pendant light fixtures are made from either fabric or metal and are available in a range of sizes. A large drum pendant light above a dining room table featuring a color that matches the rooms decor is a pleasing addition to any dining room. Whereas a colorful pendant light in a family room will provide light for family game night while enhancing the warm, playful atmosphere.
Mini Pendant Lights:Mini pendant lights are perfect for small surface spaces that need additional task lighting. Several colorful, glass mini pendant lights lined above a kitchen counter or island are perfect for adding the extra light that is needed for cooking while adding a slight pop of color. A mini pendant light is also a stylish, modern addition to any bedside. Simply suspend a small light fixture above a bedside table to provide the desired task lighting while also keeping the table top free for other things such as a glass of water or books.
LED Pendant Lights: Modern pendant lights are now available in shapes and sizes that were not possible before thanks to cutting-edge LED technology. From creative shapes with multiple points of light to ultra slim profiles, these modern LED pendant lights will either be the focal point of a space or seamlessly blend with the architecture of a room. Besides providing an opportunity to create innovative and modern designs, LEDs are an environmentally-friendly light source as they are energy-efficient.

Poor Blur
Poor Blur
Panel 2 could work even if it was replaced by a giant *fap* sign.
Heh. Nice edit.
Mike kinda looks like Lucy in that second panel...
Hey wait, I MADE THIS EDIT! And then I put it in the Edits Thread!
Can you at least tag me author? Well, not really, but still, put my name somewhere at least.
kind of a cheap edit?
AHAHAHAHA looooooooooool mike your so so... lolz
poor pervy blur
Took matters into my own hands and tagged me as artist, cause you know, I made the edit.
Attention *****.
Hmm. I really don't mean to sound like a ********* here, but you should at least credit Taeshi as artist. I'm really sorry, but just moving two images in bitmap, one of which being an incentive anyway and has no place being posted here, really doesn't make you the artist. Peturd may have moved stuff, but that's not the same as being the artist.
It's like saying 'Hey gais! Here's some DINNAR!' and throwing down a big plate of TV DINNER as compared to an intricately cut turkey and some awesome mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it.
Again, don't mean to talk down. It's neat and all. But I have a distinct feeling that Taeshi would be kinda irritated with this. Not that she'd stop to comment and care about it, but for future reference please avoid stuff like that.
@Peturd: Took matters into my own hands. Credited Taeshi as artist. A comment saying you spliced the two images should suffice enough.
@Peturd: Eh, I can see what you mean kinda. Recredited you as an artist. You did technically have a hand in it. Triple post justified.
I certainly wouldn't want to sleep with someone while they're having a wet dream, unless the person is a girl.

The rain moved out of Piney Green around the second quarter Friday night, and it seemed to take White Oak�s momentum with it.
The rain moved out of Piney Green around the second quarter Friday night, and it seemed to take White Oak�s momentum with it.
The final result: a 54-0 Havelock win over the Vikings.
As the rain came down for all of the first quarter, White Oak played its best of the night. The Vikings� defense forced the explosive Havelock offense to punt twice in its first two possessions, and White Oak�s option-offense also moved the ball well early.
White Oak actually got inside the 10-yard line as junior quarterback Elijah Harris converted a third-down pass to senior back Kendall White for 22 yards before Harris then picked up another first down on an 11-yard run as the first quarter closed.
�I thought we were focused,� White Oak coach Chad Ashley said.
Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant sure was impressed.
�They fought us tooth and nail,� he said. �You have to commend White Oak and their whole coaching staff.�
But then things turned sour for the Vikings.
They were stopped on four consecutive plays from inside the 10. White Oak turned the ball over on downs at the five and the Rams took possession and quickly changed the complexion of the game.
On second down, Havelock tailback Derrell Scott made several Vikings miss and rushed for an 80-yard gain to the WOHS 15. That set up a Travis Sabdo screen pass to sophomore receiver Matthew Boykin.
Boykin darted into the White Oak end zone, putting the Rams up 7-0.
Despite trailing, the Vikings continued to challenge the Rams� defense throughout the first half. White Oak rushed for nine first-downs and 125 yards in the first two quarters. The yardage was nearly three times more than their second-half total.
Bad luck plagued White Oak and killed any momentum. And in a game against the two-time defending state 3-A champion, near perfection was needed.
After converting a difficult fourth-and-two, White Oak fullback Camara Rawls lost a fumble to the Rams. The turnover resulted in a 12-yard Scott touchdown run.
On the ensuing possession, now trailing 14-0, White Oak�s Kendall White took a sweep 80 yards for a touchdown. The play was called back for an apparent hold, and White Oak was forced to punt.
�It�s like going from a high point, to a low point, suddenly,� Ashley said.
The tough luck continued, as Havelock was awarded a pass interference call on a well-defended ball by White Oak senior Walter McClendon. Sabdo capitalized, passing for his second of three touchdowns with seconds left in the first half, putting Havelock up 21-0.
Havelock�s defense managed its third consecutive shutout.
Bryant commended his defense for its preparation and half-time adjustments.
He also noted a special-teams contribution, as Boykin returned a third-quarter punt 83 yards for a touchdown.
After putting up three scores in the second quarter, the Rams would go on to score four more touchdowns in the second half. The first was a 65-yard run by the highly touted Division-I recruit Scott. The senior, who rushed for 222 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries, reached a career milestone.
In the third quarter, he hit the career 5,000-yard rushing mark.
�He�s an incredible back and an incredible young man,� Bryant said. �He�s a durable back. Derrell�s never missed a game, beginning from his freshman year. And he�ll give all the glory to God and his teammates.�
Scott did so.
�I give all the credit to God, my teammates, and coaches, for putting me in the position to succeed,� he said.
The victory for Havelock brought its record to 9-0 overall and 3-0 in the Coastal 3-A Conference entering next week�s game at West Carteret.
White Oak, now 3-5 overall and 0-3 in the Coastal Conference, will look to improve next week when the Vikings visit Richlands.
�We�re going to go into the game the same way we always do,� Ashley said. �We�ll look to get better and play hard on Friday night.�

May 4, 2014, CALGARY, Alta. (ISN) – Rob Blake, general manager of Canada's National Men's Team, announced Sunday, in collaboration with Hockey Canada, that three forwards have been added to Canada's roster for the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, which will be held May 9-25, 2014 in Minsk, Belarus.
Blake is working with a management group comprised of Ron Hextall (Brandon, Man./Philadelphia, NHL), Brad Treliving (Penticton, B.C./Calgary, NHL) and Hockey Canada's vice-president of hockey operations Brad Pascall (Coquitlam, B.C.). The management group named a roster of 20 players on April 17, and added a third goaltender and 21st player earlier this week, Justin Peters (Blyth, Ont./Carolina, NHL).
Blake announced the addition of three forwards:
Nathan MacKinnon Cole Harbour, N.S. Colorado Avalanche (NHL)
Matt Read Ilderton, Ont. Philadelphia Flyers (NHL)
Brayden Schenn Saskatoon, Sask. Philadelphia Flyers (NHL)
Blake also announced that forward David Perron (Sherbrooke, Que./Edmonton, NHL) will no longer play for Canada at the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship after aggravating a previous injury while training.
With today's announcement, Canada's roster now includes 23 players: three goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards.
Canada's roster now includes 18 players with previous international experience, with six players (Burrows, Chimera, Methot, Myers, Read, Reimer) who represented Canada at previous world championships (Turris skated as an alternate player with Canada in 2008). Chimera won gold at the 2007 IIHF World Championship in Moscow, Russia.
Kevin Bieksa, Troy Brouwer, Jason Garrison, Ben Scrivens and Joel Ward will be representing Canada on the international stage for the first time.
Canada can officially register a maximum of 25 players with the IIHF for the world championship, including three goaltenders. The initial official registration will be on May 8, but additional players can be registered during the tournament as well.

Before & After: A Colorful Eco-Friendly Renovation for a Family of 29
A Brazilian woman, Dona Eunice, and her husband have been caring for children and their families for years. They've fed them, helped employ mothers in a sewing cooperative, and even adopted and took custody of 27 abandoned children. All their good deeds were rewarded by a Brazilian television show with a gorgeous sustainably-focused home makeover.
Upon moving to the community of Green Meadows in Rio de Janeiro, the couple found the area stricken with poverty, high unemployment and children without a home or school to attend. As they started to care for the families in their community, their home quickly became a community center of sorts — they watched after the children, while providing a sewing cooperative as a way to generate jobs for the mothers.
The Brazilian television show, Caldeirão, gave the family a complete home makeover, car repair, entrepreneur assistance for the cooperative, branding and a website for her project, Costura Unida. Caldeirão employed design studio, Rosenbaum, to help direct the home makeover. Highlights include:
• Recycled materials throughout
• A newly painted facade
• A vibrant sewing room with machines, materials, and storage made of recycled soda materials
• A restored outdoor space with a recycled 2-liter bottle vertical garden
• Community nursery equipped with toys, furniture and school supplies
• A suite for the owners, and separate boys and girls sleeping quarters

Radiation exposure in work activities – Guide to monitoring
In Part 3, Chapters 1 and 2 of the Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV), the basic obligations in terms of the protection of man and environment against natural radiation sources in work activities are laid down and the requirements for the protection from terrestrial radiation at work places are regulated.
The regulations concern
- the estimation of incurring radiation exposure,
- the reporting of work activities involving enhanced exposure to the competent authority and
- the initiation of measures to reduce radiation exposure and to determine the exposure of occupationally exposed persons.
The Directive "Work Activities" serves the nationally standardised governance in Part 3 Chapters 1 and 2 StrlSchV.
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection published a guide that is to provide basic legal and practical information to the persons responsible for radiation protection of employees.
This guide
- deals with the radiation protection concept in the case of work activities carried out in the work fields involving considerably enhanced exposures due to natural radiation sources which are listed in Annex XI StrlSchV,
- describes the tasks resulting from the regulations set out in the Radiation Protection Ordinance,
- recommends methods enabling the estimation and determination of radiation exposure in work activities,
- provides information about possibilities to reduce enhanced radiation exposure,
- gives recommendations regarding the internal organisation of radiation protection and the compliance with regulatory requirements.

Avoiding another crisis in the Central African Republic | Abdoulaye Mar Dieye
22 Jan 2014
First of all, I would like to draw attention to the tragedy unfolding in CAR. The sectarian violence in the Central African Republic has uprooted nearly one million people and it is estimated that 2.2 million, about half the population, need humanitarian aid.
Now, a major food crisis is looming. According to the U.N., 94 percent of communities report that they do not have enough seeds to plant for the next agricultural season. There needs to be a strong and massive response from the international community.
However, we must understand that the crisis has deep structural causes that are development-related.
Extreme poverty, considerable inequalities, poor governance, weaknesses and failures of the political class triggered the crisis. While we invest in humanitarian action, we must also tackle the structural causes of that crisis as part of a wider effort aimed at putting the country back on a more robust development path.
When the violence subsides, attention must stay focused on rebuilding essential infrastructure such as water reservoirs, sewers, bridges and local clinics. To that end, public works projects can provide vital sources of revenue for women and men.
Such initiatives can help restore trust and confidence among local communities across ethnic and religious divides, while involving them in the rehabilitation of local administrations.
Addressing human rights and gender-based violence through dialogue and local reconciliation, as well as ensuring disputes are mediated and victims are supported through legal aid and physical protection, can go a long way toward preventing conflict.
In the medium term, rebuilding the capacity of the State to deliver basic services to the population, and creating a functioning judiciary and security corps, including police and gendarmerie units that are able to prosecute crimes, are critical in the lead up to eventual elections in the country.
Having worked with donors, national actors and international partners to create a roadmap for the transition, we will support the country's stabilization through the phased implementation of community security, livelihoods, social cohesion, and reconciliation initiatives.
Today, I want to call on all partners to not only address the humanitarian crisis but also look at crisis recovery in CAR. If we seize that opportunity, the country could be in a much stronger position to finally put its past behind. If we fail to do so, another crisis could soon happen again.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 14 November 2012
€ 27,15 million EU support for the promotion of agricultural products in the European Union and in third countries
The European Commission has approved a latest tranche of 14 programmes to promote agricultural products in the European Union and in third countries. The total budget of the programmes, running for a period of three years, is € 53,86 million of which the EU contributes € 27,15 million. The selected programmes cover fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, milk and milk products, PDOs (Protected Designations of Origin), PGIs (Protected Geographical Indications) and TSGs (Traditional Specialities Guaranteed), olive oil, organic products, ornamental horticulture and meat.
Within the information and promotion scheme, the Commission services received by mid-June 2012, 34 programmes targeting the internal market and the third countries as part of the second wave of programme submission. Following an evaluation procedure, 14 programmes were selected for co-financing out of which 10 target the internal market and 4 target third countries. Two of the selected programmes were proposed by more than one Member State, while third country programmes aim at the Russian, Chinese, North American and Latin American, Norwegian, Japanese and South-East Asian markets.
For the whole of year 2012 the European Commission approved 34 programmes in total submitted by the Member States corresponding to a total budget of € 124,6 million, out of which € 63,1 million co-financed by the EU. For the list of programmes approved during the first wave of programme submission please click here.
The full list of programmes and budgets adopted today is available in the annex.
In 2000 the Council decided that the EU could assist in financing measures that provide information on or promote agricultural products and food on the EU single market and in third countries. The total annual budget available for these promotion programmes is around €55 million.
The measures financed can consist of public relations, promotional or publicity campaigns, in particular highlighting the advantages of EU products, especially in terms of quality, food safety and hygiene, nutrition, labelling, animal welfare or environmentally-friendly production methods. These measures can also cover participation at events and fairs, information campaigns on the EU system of protected designations of origin (PDO), protected geographical indications (PGI) and traditional specialities guaranteed (TSG), information on EU quality and labelling systems and organic farming, and information campaigns on the EU system of quality wines produced in specified regions (QWPSR). The EU finances up to 50% of the cost of these measures (up to 60% in programmes promoting the consumption of fruit and vegetables by children or concerning information on responsible drinking and the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption), the reminder being met by the professional/inter-branch organisations which proposed them and in some cases also by the Member States concerned. For promotion on the single market and in third countries, interested professional organisations can submit their proposals to the Member States twice a year. The Member States then send the list of programmes they have selected to the Commission along with a copy of each programme. Subsequently the Commission evaluates the programmes and decides whether they are eligible.

You Can Score Oscar de la Renta's Fall 2013 Polishes Right Now!
(Photo courtesy of Oscar de la Renta)
Oscar de la Renta isn't unveiling his fall 2013 collection until 6:30 p.m. — buuuut, great news for Oscar beauty fans (and those of us who can't resist a good spoiler!), the designer's released a sneak peek of the nail colors that will be used in tonight's show!
The new limited-edition shades (see above) are: Covet, a decadent mulberry hue with a velvety finish; Dare, an island-inspired teal; and Asphalt, an edgy yet sophisticated charcoal grey with shimmer.
Wait, we haven't even gotten to the best part. The three colors — which were inspired by the fall 2013 looks — are available for pre-order on OscardelaRenta.com right this very second! They'll officially go up for sale, at $22 a pop, tomorrow.
As if we weren't already excited to see this collection...

Bramboozle necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 250 diseños de 87 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for help designing a logo for our client, HelioVolt.
They are torn between refreshing their old and starting brand new.
We have already provided three sets of concepts which are not giving them the old "warm and fuzzy" so we are looking for some different perspectives.
In a nutshell, HelioVolt builds a state of the art solar film that can cover anything from windows to buildings and collects/distributes solar energy.
Think Steve McQueen with a degree in PhD in quantum physics.
HelioVolt (http://www.heliovolt.com)
We need a logo that encapsolates the company simply and cleanly. We are looking for options that range from re-envisioning their existing logo a new way to scratching everything they have and going down a different path.
They prefer the text to be "HelioVolt" with capital H's and V's, but are open to having it all caps/lowercase IF there is a clear visual distinction between the two sections of the name.
They have been most receptive to new ideas relating to suns and bolts... a variation of their existing.
- Logo samples for the company in grayscale and 2-3 colors
- Demonstration of how it would appear on light/dark backgrounds
- Bonus points for showing how the logo could be converted into a product icon.
- Something that would appeal to both new agers in the high tech world and old executives who are just understanding the web and its power.
- winner to provide all final files in vector format (.ai/.eps)
- slight customization in the name after the winner is chosen
- simple logos or cheezy suns -- looking for a different spin.
- icons that don't somehow represent the company. your icons may be cool, but will not get accepted if we can't see the company in them

Kidde reports flat earnings for 2001
Fire protection products generated half of profits
LONDON-Kidde PLC, a worldwide fire products supplier, said in January that falling sales in its aerospace sector would not be offset by cost-cutting measures the company put in place in 2001.
Although sales in that division, stemming from the slowing U.S. economy, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and a drop in air travel, fell 25 percent, the company did see some recovery in October and November.
Sales of fire protection products to that industry made up approximately 50 percent of pre-interest profits in the first half of 2001.
The company's overall profits for 2001 are expected to remain essentially flat at 108.3 million pounds, or $155.9 million, before exceptional items and goodwill amortization. Organic growth at the company was about three percent.
The company's North American fire protection operations grew only three percent after what the company termed "difficult and uncertain second-half trading."
"Kidde is a resilient business that is capable of performing in difficult market conditions," said Michael Harper, chief executive of Kidde.
"We have taken action to meet the changing and uncertain market conditions of 2002 and I am confident that we will continue to develop Kidde as a premier fire protection business," he said.
Restructuring efforts undertaken by the company were expected to save Kidde about seven million pounds, or more than $10 million by 2003.

Dallas boy, 4, chokes on food at school, dies
A 4-year-old pre-kindergarten student has died after apparently choking on some food during lunch at a Dallas school.
The Dallas Independent School District says counselors were available Friday at Mount Auburn Elementary School.
A letter has been sent home to parents about Thursday's incident and the death of Manny Ramirez.
School officials say the boy was in the cafeteria eating with other children when he started coughing and choking. A school nurse managed to dislodge the food as others called 911 - then the boy suffered a seizure.
District spokeswoman Rebecca Rodriguez says CPR was performed but the boy died.

Casiotone Waltz by Nic Bommarito
Album Description
For his new LP "Harp Fragments", Nic decided to hook up with us again. What luck! A lot changed since "Taciturn" and then again everything is the same. You have the dreamy melodies, the bitter-sweet melancholia, that specific Bommarito-feel of being lost in cinescope beauty. While Nic Bommarito is still a loner (despite assistance from his buddy Michael Connolly on viola and harp), the sound on his new album is much more that of a band, a rock band even more. His rhythm section, slightly awkward back then, is replaced by thundering drums (listen to the first track "200 Sugar Packets" to get an idea!). Tender and fragile parts change with fuzz-soaked, shoegazing noise passages that never let miss melody and bliss. Everything is tight and dense, and although the production is not always hi-fi Nic found the perfect form for his beautiful, emotional music.On "Better Than Way Too Post-Rock", all that is Nic Bommarito today is summed up in 5:30 wonderful minutes. The golden ration of crestfallen Americana, North American Folklore and shoegaze Indiepop. Only for this tune, Nic uses a vocal sample, like building a bridge to "Taciturn".

WAREHAM — Thomas Strom is more than just a business owner known for fueling an ice cream and seafood frenzy at his restaurant during the warm-weather months.
WAREHAM — Thomas Strom is more than just a business owner known for fueling an ice cream and seafood frenzy at his restaurant during the warm-weather months.
He is admired for his philanthropic spirit, as well.
While summer is the busiest season for the owner of the popular Kool Kone restaurant, Strom has a full plate year-round giving back to the community.
For his generosity and his willingness to rise to the occasion to help others, Strom has been named The Standard-Times 2012 Wareham Man of the Year. Nominations for the award came from the community and members of the newspaper staff. Recipients were selected by a newsroom committee.
In her letter nominating Strom for the honor, Genevieve Gadbois described him as a "leader, mentor, friend and father" to his staff at Kool Kone.
"He has been a hero to these kids and has never asked for anything in return, not even a thank-you. He is humble and kind and without a doubt puts the needs of his family and others before ever thinking of himself," she said.
His commitment to his employees was amplified after a tragedy on Nov. 17, when one of his longtime employees — 20-year-old Jordan Lopes — was killed in an auto accident.
Less than 24 hours after the accident, "Thomas decided to take it upon himself and his restaurant to do what Jordan's family could not. He (sacrificed) more money than any business owner would ever dream of giving up to allow a fundraiser to take place at his restaurant," Gadbois said.
Strom said he simply wanted to help his family cover the funeral costs. In an exchange for a $10 donation, the restaurant offered customers a full meal, drink and ice cream included, at no cost.
Strom fondly recalled the young man who worked in his business for so many years.
"He was very quiet but very personal with everyone. Everyone enjoyed him. He'd always put music on we never heard of before. ... He was a DJ in college and had a radio show. He knew a lot, then I'd teach him about '70s and '80s stuff," he said.
Strom said he tries whenever possible to help out. "I get over 100 people asking for donations, and I try to accommodate all of them," he said. He said he has assisted at memorials and parades and has donated food for three local American Cancer Society Relay for Life events. If that isn't enough, he donates surplus food to Shepherd's Pantry at Good Shepherd Church in Acushnet. He has given buckets of chicken, pans of pasta and beef dinners to the pantry.
"I think whenever somebody puts people before profit, that's a wonderful thing," said Selectman Cara Winslow, who especially commended Strom for helping Lopes' family pay for funeral expenses during a trying time.
"I thought it's a wonderful thing that he reached out and gave everybody a chance to do something," she said of the fundraiser. "One thing about Wareham is if you ask them to stand up and give, they will."
Strom attributed his philanthropy to his father, a business owner like himself, but he isn't the type to toot his own horn. Beneficiaries of his generosity do it for him.
"Tom deserves to be thanked, and I have a whole community standing behind me that will vouch the exact same," Gadbois said.

This substudy is a prospective, observational, open-label, randomised study within the MARCH study. The purpose of this substudy is to investigate the changes in cerebral function parameters at 5 timepoints over 96 weeks of the three different treatment arms within the MARCH study. The investigators hypothesise that there will be improvements in cerebral function in those patients randomised, as part of the parent study, into the maraviroc arms.
the assessments in this CNS substudy will include:
- Neurocognitive function as assessed by a computerised testing battery called CogState;
- changes in cerebral metabolites as measured via 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS)
In those randomised to the maraviroc arms (arms 2 and 3) there is an optional Lumbar puncture at week 48. The cerebrospinal fluid will be used to measure maraviroc levels and an ultrasensitive CSF HIV-1 viral load. These results will be matched with levels in the plasma.

Wing Pro supports named bookmarks that can be set and accessed from the Source menu and the key bindings shown there, and with Toggle Bookmark in the editor context menu. Defined bookmarks are listed in the Bookmarks tool and are shown with a background color change or underline on the editor. The style and color of bookmark indicators can be changed with the Bookmark Style and Bookmark Color preferences.
Bookmark names are global to the project and refer to a particular position within a selected file:
- For Python files, bookmarks are defined relative to the enclosing scope (method, class, or function), so changes before the line where the bookmark is located will not cause the bookmark's relative position in source code to be changed, even if those changes are made outside of Wing. Edits made outside of Wing that affect the code between the anchoring scope and the bookmarked line will cause a bookmark's position to slip.
- For all other types of files, bookmarks are defined simply by file name and line number. If the file is edited outside of Wing, the bookmark's position may appear to slip.
When navigating to a bookmark from the Source menu or key binding, Wing will present a dialog or entry area at bottom of the screen (depending on editor personality) into which the bookmark name can be typed. A list of possible completions will be displayed. Pressing tab will select the currently highlighted completion.
A list of defined bookmarks is available in the Bookmarks tool, which is available from the Tools menu. Right click on an entry for a context menu of operations for the selected bookmark or bookmarks. Multi-selection is possible by holding down the shift and/or control keys. Double clicking or middle mouse clicking will navigate to the selected bookmark.
When the Bookmarks tool has focus, keyboard navigation is possible with the arrow keys and by typing letters to move quickly to a particular bookmark. Enter can then be pressed to navigate to the selected bookmark.
When bookmarks are defined in the current editor file, then Wing will add a bookmark icon to the top right of the editor. Clicking on this will pop up a menu of the bookmarks in the current file.
Traversing bookmarks (within the current file or within all files) is also possible with the Traverse Bookmarks sub-menu in the Source menu and the key bindings shown there.
In VI mode, the standard m and \` plus key bindings are supported, in addition to the operations in the Source menu, which allow for the definition of bookmarks with names longer than one character.
Emacs, Brief, and other key bindings also support bookmarks.
