What would you do for TRUE LOVE?
Not a damn thing - you never have to really do anything for TRUE love to come your way. Believe you me, that's the only way.
Thinking of something cool to say...

Agreed. You can't force true love. If it happens it happens.
When I reach that point in my life again and the feelings are returned, I would do anything to make sure she and I are truly happy and work together to protect what we feel for each other
not eat a Klondike bar
killing a man is overrated... i would take a bullet tho

sorry its late, and im studying for an exam. so my mind is in logic mode. define the true love scenario.
i'd practically do anything, o wait looks like i am out of studying mode.
but than if i dress up as a tranny will she still accept me? that would be my only basis if i were to do it or not.
i'd turn into as disgusting person as needed to attain her, but only so far that she is still willing to accept me.
wait nvm i finally got it, so you meant it as a basis of doing this so that you can end up meeting her.
can't really say i'd believe in that.
in an anology sense, its like being fed at a restaurant for walking there, but they decide whats best for you.
i'd prefer, to pick it out myself even if i screw up and they were right to begin with.
but then i guess that why people are desperate for true love.
but yea, i'd prefer lasting lover over a moments true love anyday. but can't say i wouldn't want it.
on my way to my DREAMS- your smile - through food
Eh, seems like i'd have to do a lot for true love. How bout I act like 20% less of a jerk than usual for regular love?
If I had a type it'd be you, fortunately I don't have a type so please stop.
I don't know what true love is, frankly I'm not even sure it exists, I've never had one of those moments that people talk about where you see someone and your world melts.. Or whatever..
You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal!
true love
one of the greatest mysteries that has never been solved.
true happiness
is when two people cant image life without the other and enjoy the other's company
it's like the other person is part of you, you know how they will react and think and so what.
you know you can depend on that person through whatever you are facing
I think that's true happiness for a relationship without that it will not last
So much to do, SO little time! I'll give someone $100 if they can freeze time !
Fall in love :/
I just have a fear of loving someone and them leaving...so its a big step for me.
Hello (:
Actually, I really don't know. Although I already experienced 'loving' but not to the point where it was really heart-shattering, nor the Romeo & Juliet type, the tragic one. But we'll never know unless we try. ;D I'm too young for this by the way.
What defines true love?
why does it always rain the hardest on the ones who deserve the sun?Bubble Milk!
give my life for it.

I'm still waiting for true love to even happen.

A curious lot today, don't cha know. Some folks are simply confused about the concept. Others are just pulling my leg.

I am curious what the pregnancy rate is for people using anal sex as a means of birth control. While its not my method, (I have an IUD) it is disturbing to me that people think anal sex is fool proof birth control.
HUH? Girl, how's a chick gonna get pregnant via ass fucking? You explain that to me and I'll be happy to comment further.

Big Dr. Dick, Between busy work schedules, travelling and such, I had not had much time for sex. It was actually about a 5 week span without sex or masturbation. When my wife and I finally got together I was built up big time. I new my response would be quick and my load would likely triple it's normal oozeage. Being that it had been so long, there was not much foreplay…we just wanted to get down to the hardcore humping. I was sitting on a couch and she climbed on top. On her 3rd downstroke, I blew like a friday afternoon work whistle. She shot off my cock back first into the coffetable, broke it in half and received a few splinters in her ass! Should we replace this piece of furniture, or should I just make her kneel in the floor and rest my legs on her when she's done sucking me off in the future?
You Nashville folks have all the fun! You get extra points for making me laugh. Perhaps all ya need is sturdier furniture.
PS: don't be surprised if I steal this: "I blew like a Friday afternoon work whistle." That's downright hilarious.

I have noticed lately that i am way more horney than normal it is like I can't ever get enough and the slightes touch gets me going. Also my natural smell from my vagina seems to be extra strong lately and sometimes after my husband and i have sex I have a clear but chunky discharge. I was regulalry with summers eve wash and I have never smelled so strong as I do now. I feel like I am a dog in heat. What is wrong with me?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? Simply put, you're 28 and you're as randy as all get-out, darling. Sounds like you're pert-near feral. If you were in the wild your super-strong odor would attract males from far and wide; each and every one hoping for his opportunity to satisfy your vixen lusts.
And that "clear but chunky discharge" you're having after the hubby bones you? Doll, I'd be willing to guess that's his spooge drippin' out of your cunt. Ahhh, youth!

normally my boyfriend wears a condom and if he doesnt he always pulls out, but the other day he cummed inside me and it stung horribly. is this normal??
Hell, no! That ain't normal, honey. Nobody's jizz is supposed to sting, unless it gets in your eye!
And what the fuck are you two doin screwin around without always using a condom? You actually trust him to pull out in time…every time? What kind of cockamamie contraceptive strategy is that?
I sure as hell hope you puppies are doubling up on birth control — he, a condom; you, the pill or a diaphragm. Slip-ups happen like clockwork for youngens, like you. That's why it's better to be doubly safe than eternally sorry.
Get it done, LuLu! Clearly, your numbskull BF doesn't use the good sense god gave him, or he'd seal himself in latex before he jumped your bones. Unplanned pregnancies can ruin lives!
Name: Mace
Age: 31
Location: Oklahoma City
I have an issue with my current girlfriend. She and I are both on the same page with a high sex drive. We both also put a higher priority on satisfying the other before ourselves. My problem is this, I tend to take a longer time to orgasm than my mate. Although she is physically satisfied, she is discouraged at her own sexual prowress because she believes that my climaxing when she does shows that I am as turned on as her. How can I ensure a matching climax, or reassure her that I still think she's sexy even though I don't climax?
If it ain't one thing, it's another. Are simultaneous orgasms really all that important? Hey, If it happens, it happens. Fine! But personally, I think they're vastly overrated. Obviously, being turned on and climaxing are not the same thing, so have the GF chill out. Besides, lots of people find it a huge turn on to watch their partner cum. And one can't hardly enjoy the show if one is busy producing his or her own display, right?
Mark my words, the added pressure to cum simultaneously will only induce a serious case of performance anxiety in one or the both of you. And that will sure-as-shootin' throw a monkey wrench into the sweet thing you guys got goin on.

why do anal sex hurt so bad what can i do to stop the pain
Nope, it doesn't always hurt so bad. Sometimes it hurts so good.
Chances are the guy who's pluggin you doesn't know what the fuck he's doin. Just because he has a cock and you have a bunghole don't make you experts butt pirates.

Not even 10 years old, this stately Colonial was built in 2008 and has so much going for it, including location. Consider that this residence, which is near the Glover School, is also within close proximity to walking paths, Gatchell's Park and commuter routes. Attention to detail, however, is what makes this very livable residence outstanding.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
Let us begin
Two stories high and completely open, the spacious front foyer is beautiful and impressive. While "grand" entrances are always an option on the fully open staircase, keep in mind that the "details" (large and small) like superior millwork and stunning hardwood flooring start here and continue throughout the house.
Large and elegant, the formal living and dining rooms — to the right and left of the front foyer — are filled with classic details such as double crown molding and hardwood flooring. Recessed ceiling lights are a contemporary touch that highlights all those wonderful features and more. Incidentally, the dining room seats eight to 10 (and more) comfortably and multi-glass-pane French doors from the living room lead to the open flow kitchen-family room that runs the width of the house.
The kitchen has all the bells and whistles including a mini subway tile backsplash and separate desk space. One end of the L-shaped countertop seats two to three comfortably and is adjacent to a very spacious eating area — ideal for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. This kitchen with very attractive cabinetry is also large enough for a center work island, be it stationary or movable.
The spacious family room — truly a "Great Room" — with a gas fireplace and a very appealing mantel also has a door to a roomy deck that leads down to the bluestone patio in the fenced yard, which is gigantic. The deck, however, is more than just a pretty face. Made of Garapa (a.k.a. Brazilian oak) and virtually maintenance free, this outdoor oasis requires no staining and can withstand the year-round vagaries of New England weather plus the pitter patter of dogs of all sizes and breeds.
A half bathroom on this level with its own interpretation of "classic" — detailed tile bump boards — is one convenience; a roomy mudroom is another. Several entrances — one from the side porch and one that leads to the kitchen and to the two-car garage — ratchet up the usefulness factor. In addition, this large room has a wall of cubbies and a built-in bench with storage. A double closet with several open shelves increase its versatility.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
One, now two…
Going to and/or from the second floor is always a pleasure. The large open landing that overlooks the hallway is the gateway to three large bedrooms that can easily handle queen-size beds and oversized double closets.
Two bedrooms share a big Jack 'n' Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combination. This bathroom also has a two-sink vanity.
The master suite is filled with wonderful features, not the least of which is size — as in wonderfully large. Closet space is also fantastic. In addition to a grand walk-in affair that has access to the even larger attic that can be used for storage or repurposed into an even more spectacular closet/dressing room.
Two more single closets flank an ideal seating area with three large windows. Of course, a king-size bed fits comfortably in the sleeping chamber, too.
The massive en suite bathroom, however, is definitely "the" showpiece. In addition to a Jacuzzi tub and a big step-in shower, this room has a deep linen closet that borders on being a walk-in. Two sinks are in a long vanity, too.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
Yes, there is more!
The lower level is every bit as impressive as the rest of the house and for many, many reasons. Size, again, is at the head of the list. A gigantic finished space with ceilings that are at least nine feet high (remember this is the lower level) has multiple uses such as a second family room, media center and/or billiard/pool room. Yes, this space is large enough to accommodate one or more at the same time.
Closets are everywhere and a very spacious and very private office with hardwood flooring is a bonus.
A bathroom with a walk-in shower ratchets up the versatility meter, while a laundry room with full-size machines addresses practical needs.
One final note — make that at least two —this level has a bulkhead to the yard that is equipped with an irrigation system and the property has a two-car garage.

New Mexico State University has taken several steps in recent months to increase safe-bicycling practices on campus, including increasing bicycle traffic law enforcement, educating motorists and cyclists alike about the rules of the road and working to prevent bicycle thefts on campus.
Some of the physical improvements made over the last year include painting bike lanes on Stewart Street, installing directional signs on the Horseshoe, adding and replacing bicycle racks and installing a bicycle Fix-It station outside Corbett Center Student Union.
According to the Environmental Health & Safety Office, the NMSU Police Department issued 409 citations for traffic violations during the period of May 1 to Nov. 28, 2012. Of those, 64 were bicycle-related citations.
The highest single category of citations was failure to heed stop signs and traffic signals.
"Cyclists need to be aware that traffic laws do apply to them, too, but drivers must also be aware of cyclists," said David Shearer, assistant director, NMSU Environmental Health & Safety. "New Mexico traffic law and the New Mexico Driver Manual are clear that bicyclists have the same rights on the streets, but must follow the same 'rules of the road' as motorists."
The NMSU Police Department offers a free bicycle registration service, to record the bicycle serial numbers and markings, which help in recovering a stolen bike.
"Bicycle registration is free, as are most crime prevention programs at the NMSU Police Department," said Amanda Bowen, NMSU Police Department crime prevention coordinator. "Registered bikes are stolen less often and are easier to recover if they are stolen."
To register your bicycle, visit the NMSU Police Department, located at the corner of Union Avenue and College Drive, during normal business hours.
"It's important to focus more on cycling as an element of sustainability: for our environment, our budget and our health," said Jean Conway, cyclist and associate director of the NMSU Teaching Academy. "Bicyclists produce vastly less greenhouse gases than cars do. And, cycling just to get around gets your transportation and exercise rolled all into one activity - it improves your health and saves time. Having healthier and more productive employees saves NMSU money."
On Feb. 5, the NMSU Bicycle Friendly University Taskforce, composed of representatives from the Teaching Academy, NMSU Police Department, Recreational Sports, Environmental Health & Safety and NMSU faculty, in support of the goals of the Sustainability Council and Bicycle Safety Committee, submitted an application for NMSU to be recognized as a Bicycle Friendly University, a designation granted by the League of American Bicyclists. In order to achieve this status, however, more on-campus bicycling-focused changes will be necessary.
"Bicycle Friendly University status is a healthy goal to work towards," said Shearer. "We know that there are some areas where we can improve, for example, designating bike lanes, street marking and regular bicyclist classes."
The City of Las Cruces was granted Bicycle Friendly Community Bronze status in 2011, after three applications to the League of American Cyclists and several improvements to make cycling safer for everyone. Though NMSU does not expect to receive BFU status on its first attempt, feedback from the League of American Bicyclists will help the campus make improvements for future applications.
The League of American Cyclists evaluates Bicycle Friendly applicants on "the Five Es" - engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation and planning. The 74-section questionnaire covers information on employee and student numbers, geographic distribution and NMSU's current status in the Five Es.
"We still have a lot of work do to in the areas of education and encouragement," said Conway. "There are far too many cyclists on campus who aren't aware that bicycles are considered vehicles and that cyclists must obey vehicular laws just like a car. NMSU also needs a systematic way to evaluate cycling issues and develop a master plan for cycling."
Environmental Health & Safety has placed several resources for both cyclists and others on campus on the NMSU bicycle page, bikes.nmsu.edu, including a campus map including bike paths, lanes and racks; information about recent bicycle traffic citations and safety information. This resource also contains information about upcoming bicycle-related training events.
For more information about NMSU's Bicycle Friendly University initiatives please check the bikes.nmsu.edu website, and for bicycle safety concerns or suggestions email David Shearer at email@example.com.
"I'd encourage everyone interested in cycling to learn how to ride safely, then get out and ride," Conway added.

Mathematicians are in demand in a number of fields. Some students choose to pursue careers in actuarial science or statistics. Others focus on work in support of other scientists. Applications of statistics and data analysis are expanding to a broad spectrum of areas, from anthropology to zoology. Mathematicians find employment in business, industry, and government service. Problem solving skills and ability to create mathematical models are essential to many endeavors.
The Chadron State College mathematics program emphasizes Math Education and Statistics/Data Analysis. Graduates of the mathematical sciences program at CSC have chosen various paths. Examples include programming a super-computer in weather research, statistical analysis, mathematics research, and computer programming. Some have entered graduate programs, earning advanced degrees. Mathematics is the foundation of science and technology, making it a key to opportunity.
Endless Mathematics careers include:
Carol Erion, Winfield, MO
Bachelor of Science - Mathematics 2007
"I really enjoyed teaching math to my girls," she recalled. "That's when I started looking for a way to earn a degree in it."
"It was the right move," she said, "Everything went well." She earned her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in spring 2007. She is now enrolled in the online Master of Arts program.
"I've got the perfect world now, as far as I'm concerned," Erion said. "I can study during the day and tutor in the late afternoons and evenings. I can set my own hours, take time off when I want to and still get paid pretty well for tutoring."
Tonia Vaughn, Oceanside, CA
Master of Arts - Education, 2007
Tonia Vaughn, 30, a native of Jacksonville, FL, graduated with a mechanical engineering degree from the University of South Florida in 1999. She then accompanied her husband, Quentin Vaughn, a U.S. Marine Corps officer, to Okinawa, Japan. While there she decided to seek a Master's degree and began searching for online college programs in Mathematics. She found that Chadron State College offered what she needed and began taking online courses from CSC in 2004.
Vaughn enrolled in two courses each semester and took a few in the summer. After completing the course work, she still needed to write her Master's thesis, which she said wasn't easy.
"Quentin ate a lot of cereal because I was too busy to cook," she said with a grin. "I was on the phone a couple times a week to Dr. (Monty) Fickel, but we made it work."
The degree helped Vaughn land a new job at Camp Pendleton, CA, where her husband is now stationed. The couple resides in Oceanside.

Keima -- Mamoru Miyano
This is a no-brainer to me. Fukuyama would be acceptible, but I can't think of anyone who has shown he can pull off both overdramatic (Light from Death Note) and goofball (Tamaki from Ouran) so well, and Keima's seiyuu will need ot be proficient in both. Plus Fukuyama's voice is a little too deep for me.
Elsee -- Ai Nonaka
Another easy one. "Earnest, meet Clueless. Oh wait, you've met before, back when you teamed up for Kafuka in SZS? Well that saves a lot of time in introduction..."
Hakua -- Rina Sato
I know I suggested Aya Hirano previously as Hakua because the Haruhi-style voice would be perfect, but after watching some Railgun I decided Biribiri's voice is just as ideal, if not more. For one thing, it removes the "OMG, it's Haruhi" reaction that people get any time Hirano voices a similar character. That and it makes the eventual casting of Satomi Arai as her partner Yukie that much more ideal. Now we just have to figure out how to get Yukie to say "Mattaku, oneesama..." in-character... We're guaranteed to get a "Gokult desu no..." at least...
Tenri/Diana -- Miyuki Sawashiro
I think it's important that Tenri and Diana share the same seiyuu. After all, it's the same person both voices are coming out of. But the voices still have to be noticeably different so you can tell who's speaking. Quiet and shy (with a solid flustered quoteint) for Tenri (which is why Noto would be good for her), and forceful and confident for Diana (ditto for Yukana). I think that Sawashiro, in her repertoire that includes among others, Canaan (Canaan), Kanbaru (Bakemonogatari), Xia Yu Lan (FMP!:TSR), Maria Taro Sekiutsu (SZS), the nekomimi'd dorm leader from Maria Holic, and Reika Hojo (a similarly dual-voiced character from the otherwise forgettable Goshushosama Ninomiya-kun) might just be able to do both voices justice.
Nora -- Chiwa Saito
Buxom, aloof, and probably going to kill you. It worked for Senjougahara, and it'll work for Nora. That and you get to carry on the running demons/partners joke (that we're ignoring for the two main characters) by casting Hiroshi Kamiya (Arararagi-kun, Zetsubou-sensei) as Nora's ineffectual partner Ryo.
Keima's mother -- Megumi Hayashibara
Yeah, I went there. A property of this quality deserves at least one Hall of Fame seiyuu, and Keima's mom just isn't the right type for my go-to choice for MILF voicing, Kikuko Inoue (Belldandy).
Nikaido-sensei (the female teacher) -- Michiko Neya
Kodama-sensei (the male teacher) -- Takehito Koyasu
These two pretty much speak for themselves.
That's all the recurring characters that aren't capture targets, and I'll add them later, when it's not 4 in the morning (I'll add the rest of 2B Pencils with Chihiro).

It kind of boils down to him or Miyano, though, given the similarity of both their voices and the characters they're known for playing.

Usually, the comedic characters Fukuyama has voiced were either:
1.Weak willed/ worry warts
2.Extremely eccentric
Aside from that, he does do some over the top goofy reactions (Watanuki from xxxHOLiC) but I really can't imagine him doing that with Keima.
I'm really sold on Mamoru because he did voice similar characters before (Tamaki, especially Death the kid) so I can see him doing the roll easily.

As much as Fukuyama would suit the role of Keima, somehow I imagine Leopard-sama kinda tone, I'm inclined to go with my instincts that I really think Death the Kidd might be better in this case
for Elsee I can only really think of Toyosaki Aki atm but I would like to think theirs another person for the job.

Now, capture targets:
Ayumi Takahara (track girl) -- Emiri Katou
An ideal tsundere to start a string of tsunderes (every girl who knows Otamegane before the start of the series is very much tsuntsun for him).
Mio Aoyama (ex-oujo girl) -- Marina Inoue
She's even got her hair parted down the middle... ^_^
Kanon Nakagawa (disappearing idol) -- Yui Horie
I dunno, maybe it's my Love Hina anime upbringing, but every time I see an idol character, that's whose voice I automatically hear. And she can sing very well, so that's not a problem. And if Yokkyun, the obvious Key ripoff poorly drawn heroine from Keima's favorite game, gets a voice (do PFP dating sims have voice?), Hocchan is totally pulling double duty, ugu~.
Shiori Shiomiya (bookworm girl) -- Aki Toyosaki
Well, I can go with the obvious choices for quiet bookworm type, or concentrate more on later in the arc when you pretty much can't shut her up... ^_^ Crap, I just broke my self-imposed K-on embargo... Eh, can't be helped.
Kusunoki Kasuga (martial artist girl) -- Yu Kobayashi
Has a good "masculine" feminine voice (Kaere Kimura, SZS) and a good "feminine" feminine voice (Kaede Kimura, SZS). Both will be needed.
Chihiro Kosaka (average girl) -- Kanae Ito
Yeah, typecasting's a bitch... And I got nothing on the remaining 2B Pencils members. Not enough to work with.
Jun Nagase (hot student teacher girl) -- Satsuki Yukino
How can we have an attractive oneesan character and not cast the Alpha Oneesan? The easiest capture target to cast, IMHO.
Tsukiyo Kujou (chibi astronomer girl) -- Rie Kugimiya
Totally heard her voice in my head from the first page. I blame JC Staff.
Minami Ikoma (loli swimmer girl) -- Kaori Fukuhara
Sounds younger than the rest of the cast...check. Oozes cute...check. Don't really need anything else...
Reiko Hinaga (creepy girl's grandmother) -- Yuki Matsuoka
Oh...no reason... *whistles*
Sumire Uemoto (ramen girl) -- Aya Hirano
Let's see, "energetic and enthusiastic", "runs everywhere", "filled with confidence and determination, regardless of whether she's competent or not"... Well, I'll be... Her picture is next to the definition in the dictionary...
Nanaka Haibara (shogi girl) -- Ryoko Shiraishi
Speaks in a Kansai dialect, apparently more out of personality than origin (she's recently been overseas and appears to have the stereotypical blunt American Kansai personality). Shiraishi, as a native of the Kansai region who has a history of performing in the dialect (and/or in the personality), should be ideal.
Yui (Body-swapping oujo drummer girl) -- Yukari Tamura
Yet another character who needs some vocal and acting range, as she has to handle the vocal patterns of both a cute, genki, oujo dojikko and
Spoiler for chapter 82-...:
Not capture targets:
Dokurou Skull (Elsee's and Hakua's boss) -- Chafurin
He's a little bitty dude with a skull for a face. He absolutely has to have a weird voice. And few seiyuu voices are weirder than the guy who brought Mr. Delicious to Higurashi.
Reiko-chan (creepy little/hot teen "ghost" girl) -- Yuki Matsuoka
I can't be the only one who saw Tsuruya-san when creepy little "I'll cut your head off" ghost girl turned into hot teenaged ghost girl, can I (ch68, pg7)? She's even got an end of sentence verbal tic, ne? She should probably double as Airi-chan (creepy little real girl) to accomodate the twist in the arc.
Keima's grandfather -- Norio Wakamoto
When God speaks Japanese, He uses Norio Wakamoto's voice. Apparently I am not the only one to realize this. And guaranteed that's what Keima sounds like when he gets big. Now excuse me while I go help that pussy Chuck Norris check his closet for Norio Wakamoto... "ALL HAIL BRITTANIA!"

I find that new girl from chapter 76 to be cute.. I don't think that she's a tsundere, but it may be somewhere near that definition.
And..Shogi, huh ? At first I thought it was going to be mahjong for some reasons

So it's been a while since I've read it (Stopped for a while at ch. 66). Caught up to the scans now, glad to see it still going strong! I was really sad to see the end of Sumire (for now, hopefully), I really liked her. Though Keima needs to have his teacher as a target. Now.

Girl reported missing in CA found on UK campus
Girl reported missing in CA found on UK campus
LEXINGTON, Ky. —
University of Kentucky police have found a child they say was reported missing in California more than two months ago.
WKYT-TV reports university police received a call Thursday night about a suspicious person on campus.
They found a woman with 17-month-old Alouette Day-Moreno-Baltierra. The woman claimed to be the child's grandmother.
Police say the girl had been missing from Los Angeles since October 15.
They do not know why the girl was brought to Kentucky, but she is safe now.

The Smyrna High School boys lacrosse team is headed to the state tournament for the first time in their two years as a varsity program.
With the No. 13 seed in the DIAA State Tournament, Smyrna (10-5) will face off in the first round against No. 4 Tower Hill (12-3) at Tower Hill Tuesday, May 14 at 7 p.m. The winner of the game will move on to the quarterfinals Saturday, May 18 and face the winner of the No. 12 Appoquinimink vs. No. 5 St. Mark's game.
The state tournament pairings were announced Saturday and came after the Eagles went 1-1 in their final week of the season. Smyrna had the lead Wednesday but gave it up in their 10-9 loss to Dover. But the Eagles found a way to bounce back Friday for an 8-2 win over Milford.
Prior to the Milford game, Judy said "Team 2" is special and they truly care for each other like brothers. The player's realizations that this team's time together is coming to an end just makes their drive greater, Judy said in reference to a possible state tournament bid.
"It's in their eyes, they don't want to leave the field or locker room after practice," Judy said. "They are enjoying every second together and a playoff berth would be the perfect way to extend the season."
The Eagles knew coming into the season they could improve on their 7-8 mark from last year and Judy said the players dedicated themselves in the offseason by participating in camps and tournaments. Their primary goal was to have fun and the wins would take care of themselves; the team's dedication enabled them to exceed expectations and put them in the state tournament this year.
"Our success stems from the closeness of our team – the chemistry that cannot be run, drilled, or projected onto the guys," Judy said. "We have brothers, cousins, best friends playing not only with each other but for each other. Our team motto has been and always will be 'Together' and this team epitomizes that mantra."
To prepare the players for the Tower Hill game, Judy said the team would attack Monday's practice with the same formula that has gotten them here, which is by putting the "fun" in fundamentals. The focus of the practice would be on stick work, shooting, positioning, transition, and clearing the ball. Judy said then the team would cover everything they need to know about Tower Hill's personnel and install any wrinkles the Eagles need to beat them.
"To beat a great team like Tower Hill, we must do three things: play smart with the ball, take chances defensively, and have fun," Judy said. "We have shown that when we do all three, we can play with anyone in the state."

Trim the case once—never trim again! The X-Sizer Die looks like a regular Full Length Sizer Die. Inside, the die features a specially designed mandrel with an expander ball and decapping pin attached. The mandrel is what the X-Die® is all about. The patented X-Sizer Die eliminates the need for repeated trimming after an initial trim of .020" off the maximum case length to standardize the case. The X-Die doesn't shorten the length of the case: the mandrel reduces the growth rate as the case grows as a result of the case mouth-contacting the mandrel during sizing. Because of an extremely close tolerance between the mandrel and die neck wall, the neck wall of the case does not thicken as the case length is pushed back. Cases repeatedly sized in the X-Die will initially grow a few thousandths of an inch, then stabilize below the maximum case length with no discernable loss of accuracy or case life.

In its annual report released on November 14th, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) declared that it will now consider contraception a global human right. The report, titled "The State of World Population 2012: By Choice, Not by Chance: Family Planning, Human Rights and Development," conveys the basic message that contraception is a "human right" and is essential to the "sustainable development" of nations.The report insists that legal, cultural and financial barriers to accessing contraception and other family planning methods infringe upon women's human rights.
Currently 222 million women in developing countries have little to no access to family planning. UNFPA believes that an additional $4.1 billion is needed to provide for current family planning resources. UNFPA estimates that maternal and newborn health costs would decrease by $11.4 billion if voluntary family planning was made available to everyone in developing countries.
Along with the economic costs, UNFPA claims that ignoring the right to family planning results in poverty, poor health, and gender inequality. By enabling individuals to choose if and when they want to have children, both women and their children are more likely to live healthier, longer lives. According to a statement from UNFPA Director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, "Family planning has a positive multiplier effect on development. ...Not only does the ability for a couple to choose when and how many children to have help lift nations out of poverty, but it is also one of the most effective means of empowering women. Women who use contraception are generally healthier, better educated, more empowered in their households and communities and more economically productive. Women's increased labor-force participation boosts nations' economies."
However, this classification by the UNFPA is not legally binding and the United Nations cannot force nations to take any immediate action following the release of the report.

Strobe Arm Length?
Posted 28 June 2006 - 10:42 AM
Posted 28 June 2006 - 11:33 AM
A very popular setup seems to be a 5" arm connected to the housing-side, and an 8" arm on the strobe side. That will usually lay out so that your strobes rest on the camera table when your housing isn't being used.
I personally use 2x 8" sections for each of my arms. That gives plenty of spread.

I used to use two powerful Ikelite SS200s with wide 100 degree beams. At full power and the right ambient light levels, those strobes will work at distances over 2.5 meter/8 feet for subjects like manta rays and some reefscapes. (The exposure guide on the back of the strobes implies that these strobes will work at 3 meters/10 feet at ISO 100 and f/4.0, though I don't think I ever achieved quite that distance). Anyway, at 8-10 feet, to avoid illuminating crap in the water between the lens and subject with those strobes and their wide 100 degree beams, I really did need more strobe separation than is possible with 8" arm sections. When it all comes together with a wide angle lens and very powerful strobes, longer arms can make it possible to turn medium-vis water into gin (Absolut vodka, whatever).
My SS200s have never gone more than a year without one of them malfunctioning or dying. When they came back from their last trip to Ohio and back (with a $400+ repair bill receipt attached) eight months ago, one was already dead right out of the box full of foam peanuts before I could even take it on a dive. Living in Indonesia, hassling with equipment that I can't rely on is no longer worth it for me.
(So - anybody want to buy a couple of powerful strobes, cheap? Honesty requires me to say that I think both of them are absolute lemons, but they are wonderful strobes on those occasions when they are both working. If you live in the US, maybe the breakdown frequency won't matter. Make me an offer.)
My Inon D200s Sea&Sea YS90DXs don't have anything like the power or spread of the SS200s, but they work, and so far they have kept on working, dive trip after dive trip. (The Inons are pretty new, so that isn't so impressive, but the YS90DXs - originally purchased as a temporary stopgap while my SS200s were on another visit to Ohio - have been going strong for over three years.) With reduced power and narrower beams, I can't shoot from as far away (and with the 10.5 FE on the D2X, I rarely want to anyway). The upshot of moving from Ikelite strobes to the Inons and S&Ss is that the 12 inch arm segments that at one time were central to my style of wide-angle shooting are now irrelevant. 2 x 8 works fine.

I've use the 6" arms that came with the DS125 kits. I add to the Ikelite 9" arm on each side.
I found this give me a great deal of flexibility, especially with wide angle shooting.
I've at times found it difficult (but not impossible) to navigate in confined space wreck dives with the 6+9 setup. I've found that the 9" only on each side much more manageable as it is a) small and B) more solid as it doesn't have any joints in the arms.
For macro I still use on a 6" on each side.

My past experience has been only with a Nikonos V, rigged with a large SB102 on a ULCS 8"/8" arm combo, and a small, slaved YS30TTL Duo strobe for fill on a single ULCS 12" arm. The photo below depicts this setup, and typically I'd spread the strobes out wider and lower than shown here. Given the size of the SB102, I liked the double segment arms for getting the strobe away from me, and its spread with the diffuser still was enough to cover the UW-Nikkor 15mm lens. Meanwhile, the S&S strobe just gave me some fill that I liked to have at times, such as around ledges where shadows might be an issue.
With the widespread strobe arms, the rig as a whole was obviously more cumbersome, and u/w photo pro Jay Ireland suggested a different setup that I came to greatly favor, taking advantage of the double arms to drop the SB102 down and beneath my camera. almost centered. This was quite compact for the equipment in use and worked especially well when again under a ledge, while for fish portaits the S&S strobe still provided enough top lighting to avoid unnatural-looking shadows.
Now, I'm switching to digital and have just purchased the aforementioned DX200 setup, shown here with the Z740s each mounted on a single ULCS 8" arm.
I've got a pair of 5" arms that I originally anticipated using, yet upon setting the camera up in a dual 8/5 configuration, it seemed overkill. The comments I've seen here, are steering me back toward going that direction, but I'm just looking for any further insight anyone cares to offer. Food for thought is that I'll be shooting with the 10.5mm DX Fisheye as well as the 12-24mm DX Zoom. Also, for those of you shooting dual strobes, do you generally favor a symmetric positioning of your strobes, and do you favor them higher above the camera or lower to each side of the camera? I do realize that sometimere there is an advantage to other positions based upon your surroundings and the type of illumination you're after, but in general, what do you favor?
Posted 20 July 2006 - 05:08 AM
And while I use two arm segments per side on my rig, I would be better off with just one per side as it would mean less wrestling with the strobes to position them after I enter the water.

Posted 20 July 2006 - 11:04 AM
Keeping the strobes back a foot sounds like good advice for close-ups. With clamps factored in, an 8/5 arm combo might give a 1.5 foot reach, but I'm guessing you've got a pair of 8s or similar on each side?
Posted 20 July 2006 - 01:46 PM
Can you explain what is the logical to put the strobes relative close specifically with the super wide lens?
I sow also good results in my experiences with the 10.5 and close strobes but can't explain why.

With this arrangement I'm trying to paint the central part of the shot with light while not getting hot light on the particles right in front of the lens and not blowing out parts of the shot not in the center.
I happen to use a 5" and a 6" arm on each side. But I would probably do as well with single arms and they would be quicker to setup underwater.

1. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?TomVel Oct 9, 2009 2:33 PM (in response to smckeogh)
I'm running the OEM version of Windows 7 and in order to get Homesite to work (the good news being that I DID get it to work) I had to run it as administrator and in the XP SP2 compatibility mode. That got it running.
My next hurdle was that it would not connect to any of my mapped network drives. To conquer that I had to turn off the User Account Control 'feature'. Runs fine now, and Windows 7 is lightyears ahead of Vista. All's right in the world now.

Like the previous said, you can run Homesite by updating the properties of the shortcut. Choose compatibility mode "Windows XP" (Service Pack 2), and select "Run this program as an administrator" for the Privilege Level -both options found under the Compatibility tab.
However, instead of turning off the UAC (or lowering it) I got the mapped drives to work by following the instructions found here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverGP/thread/ccea02b7-341f-4867-913d-4 fa934430f9a.
Here's the important bit:
- Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
- Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
- Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
- Type EnableLinkedConnections, and then press ENTER.
- Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify.
- In the Value data box (hexadecimal), type 1, and then click OK.
- Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
Hope that helps. Gotta keep Homesite running, still haven't found a suitable replacement for it.

As above
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OEM.
I had to go to Microsofts site and download the two files for XP Virtual machine mode.
Then run that and Homesite works in the Virtual machine mode.

I have HomeSite running in 32bit Win7 with no problems on an admin account. No need for XP mode.

I started programming back in the days of machine code, switched to Assembly when it became popular, but never made the switch to C or its derivatives. I considered that "CODE BLOAT" for lazy programmers. And as slow as a load of bricks compared to clean machine code or Assembler.
When the Web happened I used a text editor, and eventually easily switched to Sausage Hot Dog when it hit the scene - sort of like Basic. When Homesite arrived I switched to it for its resemblance to Hot Dog plus its several extras that Hot Dog lacked. When Allair sold out I could see the end coming - buy your competitors and kill them. I was never able to make the transition to WYSIWYG - it just wouldn't do what I wanted it to do, the way I wanted to do it. I like software which works for me, not the other way around.
I did a number of sites, both personal and business, until the advent of VISTA, then gave up and retired. A couple days ago I heard that someone was running Homesite 5.5 in a virtual window under Win 7 so I figured it was worth a try. Search as I could, I never found my HS 5.5 disks but I did run across the 4.0 and 4.5 and installed 4.0 - version 4.5 was an upgrade. So, after a restart version 4.0 came up (with a minor error warning of no real consequence}. No software or hardware virtualization necessary and it seems to operate normally. Who knows, I may start up my site again.

I just got it running on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I was having trouble getting it to accept my serial numbers, past one for 5 and 5.5. It is dumb, but because I may not have the OS set up right, and the new screens open under the current one, instead of on top, when I moved the screen to check when I kept having trouble I found that I had two login boxes open. Then I was able to get my serial numbers to work and the program is working fine.

The only peculiarity I've noticed in running HS4.0 under Win 7 Pro is that when I access my browser (Chrome or Firefox) to set a Avatar, the browser window closes - with no error message. Strange, but not really a problem,
I' going to try to uninstall HS 4.0 and then reinstall it in my Sun Virtual Machine which I can set up as either XP or Dos/Win 3.x/ While I don't have any need to do any more commercial sites, I'd still like to do some experimenting. I might even reestablish my older personal site for which I still have all the files archived.
8. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?Sharon Lee Taylor May 1, 2010 9:00 PM (in response to Sharon Lee Taylor)
Well, I spoke too soon. Now everytime I close the program and reopen, I have to enter first the newest version 5.5 code...then it tells me to enter the previous version 5.0 code. Then it pops up a new screen and wants me to start again...if I close the two or three of those that pop up, I eventually see the program open and can use it. If you do it the other way you can't progress to having it load...so backward is best!
I gave up and downloaded Windows Web Expressions 3...it costs about what Homesite did. I can make it work until I have something else I can use. But what a pain.
9. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?TropicalVegas May 2, 2010 12:07 AM (in response to Sharon Lee Taylor)
It might be interesting to go to Sun anddownload their (free) Virtual Box and try HS in a virtual machine as I am when I get a chance..

Thanks for all the great advice above. I've been able to get HomeSite up and running on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit version), but I can't seem to apply the work-around for the "class not registered" error when opening and creating projects. The instructions at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/182/tn_18265.html worked before when I ran HomeSite on Windows XP, but not on Windows 7.
I am running cmd.exe as an administrator, and I'm able to navigate to the correct directory. When I enter the first regsvr32 command it works, but when I try to enter "regsvr32 wddx_com.dll" I get this error:
The Module "wddx_com.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with the code 0x80070002.
Any ideas? I'm so close I can taste it. Everything else in the program seems to work fine so far. It would be a shame not to be able to create and open existing projects, though.
12. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?Sharon Lee Taylor Jun 20, 2010 5:29 PM (in response to stellalune)
You are way over my head! I took the cross update offer for Windows Web
Expressions 3...
less than $100. It will take a bit to learn, but it has some nice features.
13. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?stellalune Jun 20, 2010 5:38 PM (in response to smckeogh)
I've tried a few other programs so far--Coffee Cup, Komodo Edit, etc. I guess I've just grown used to HomeSite over the years, but the others all seem to have too many or not the right features. I'll give WWE3 a try, though. Thanks for the recommendation.
14. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?intengu Jul 3, 2010 9:10 AM (in response to smckeogh)
I got Homesite 5 running in Windows 7 32 bit by:
- copying the files from \Program Files\Common Files\Macromedia \bin to a temporary folder ...\temporary\bin
- removing the \Macromedia \ folder
- renaming the temporary folder \Macromedia\
Note the extra space in the orginal \Macromedia \bin path
- running a registry cleaner programme to identify all the duff entries relating to Homesite, ie where the key/value had an extra space
- editing the entries to remove the offending space, it's about a 20 entries
- On running Homesite for the first time thereafter, making a right click before opening and selecting 'Run as administrator'
Hope this helps someone. This is an essential programme.
15. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?Sharon Lee Taylor Jul 3, 2010 1:34 PM (in response to intengu)
Thanks for the info...I have already switched to Microsoft Web
Expressions 3.
It seems to be pretty intuitive so far...and it is a nice WYSIWYG
program. I tried
on my 64 bit Windows 7...I understand that the 32 bit version is more "older
software" forgiving!
16. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?mixsetup Jul 3, 2010 6:49 PM (in response to Sharon Lee Taylor)
Thank's I'll try it later and see if it works with the 64 bit. I still go to XP virtual mode and use Homesite
17. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?stellalune Jul 4, 2010 6:42 AM (in response to intengu)
Intengu, thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately this didn't work on the 64-bit version of Windows 7. I was able to create the renamed folder and edit the registry entries, but when I remove the old Common Files\Macromedia folder with the extra space, leaving only the one without the space, HomeSite crashes on startup.
I have all the program's functionality except the ability to create and use projects, which is better than nothing, I guess. Still if anyone else reads this and has suggestions for 64-bit Win 7 users, I'd love to hear them.
18. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?stellalune Jul 4, 2010 6:49 AM (in response to mixsetup)
Mixsetup, I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, which doesn't allow you to run XP mode. Upgrading to Win 7 Pro would allow that, but it costs $90. Before I take the plunge, I'd like to know if you have total functionality with HomeSite, specifically the ability to create and re-open projects, verify links by project, etc. I'm assuming you do, since you can do all this on a regular XP machine.
19. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?Sharon Lee Taylor Jul 4, 2010 2:45 PM (in response to stellalune)
I don't have the Ultimate version of 7...so I can't run XP. I gave up and
switched to Microsoft Web Expressions 3...I have never found it worthwhile
to hang on to a program when the company stops keeping it updated...
too much potential for vulnerability to web attacks.
Maybe Adobe would release it to public domain so others can being to
update it.
20. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?intengu Jul 4, 2010 2:57 PM (in response to smckeogh)
Spoke too soon...
In retrospect you need to keep the old (wrong) folder or else HS won't open (for some reason to do with the Homesite program I guess won't now be corrected.
But you do need the correct new folder and edited registry entries
This works fine for me on Windows 7 32 bit now
I only work in text, and do lots of PHP templates, so a text editor is essential for me
21. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?stellalune Jul 4, 2010 3:16 PM (in response to intengu)
Thanks for the suggestion, intengu. I tried leaving both the Macromedia_ and Macromedia folders within Common Files. I also run HomeSite as administrator, but even with all registry entries changed to Common Files\Macromedia (without the space). Now the program runs, but I still get the "class not registered" error every time I try to do anything with projects.

No joy...I had it on a Windoze 7 64 bit...gave up...starting to like
Microsoft Web
Expressions 3 (I guess it is 4 now)...it is a WYSISYG program. I cannot
waste time
trying to make something old I like work on a system that isn't going to
let it
work...I think Macromedia and now Adobe are raiders for buying Cold
Fusion and
dumping Homesite.
24. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?WmSchwartz Sep 18, 2010 6:05 PM (in response to firstname.lastname@example.com)
I got Homesite to run on Windows 7 by following these steps:
1. Find the icon (shortcut) that opens HomeSite
2. Right click on the shortcut and choose "Properties"
3. Select the "Compatibility" tab
4. Under "Compatibility Mode", select "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP" (Service Pack 2)"
5. At the botom under "Privilege Level", select "Run this program as an administrator"
6. Click "OK"
7. Click the shortcut to open HomeSite
That worked for me.

Sorry to see you all having problems with win7 and HomeSite, though it's predictable really.
I don't have win7 yet, but I'll try to an eye on what you all are finding and I'll add solutions to a Tip/FAQ on my asp4hs site.
It will be here (once I can upload today's edits)
FAQ: Does Homesite work in Windows 7?
In the meantime, for those with problems entering or having to reenter the serial numbers,
as I mentioned in this other thread about serial number problems,
it may be how the permissions are set for your registry.
I wonder if you have rights to that part of the registry.
I know I didn't on one XP machine where I didn't have admin rights.
I had to get that fixed or have an admin do not only the initial
install, but run it once and enter the s/n.
see these faqs. they might help.
FAQ: Does Homesite 5.x only work under an Administrator account?
FAQ: What user permissions do I need for HomeSite under WinNT/2k/XP?
Are you on Windows XP or Vista? If Vista, see this, and this thread.
please post back if you find the solution.
good luck,

OK, if any of you here have totally given up on Homesite, how about selling me your copy of the software?
I've sorted through all my archives and while I found the manual, for the life of me I cannot find the original Homesite application CD, only an upgrade CD.
I've already purchased MS Expression Web so I have a backup, but it is soooo different from Homesite I'd really rather avoid that learning curve if I can get a copy of Homesite to run on my Windows 7 64bit system.
Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you can help.

We just installed Homesite 5 on Windows 7 64 bit
OMG you have no idea how happy I am!
Install as Administrator
Compatibility mode: windows XP service pack 2.
*AFTER* you install you must right click on the shortcut and *set the comparability mode again*.
I have not used it yet - but I opened it and it looked good!
I will report back if I run into issues - need to go install a bunch of other stuff.
OH I am sooooo happy!
I have this brand new machine and I was dreading the need to connect to my old machine over the vp just to use homesite - or to have to run an xp virtual machine.
29. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?Peasant2 Nov 28, 2010 12:59 PM (in response to Sqrlz)
I tried to install Homesite 3.0 from CD. Windows 7 did not want to know, referring to setup on a temp file which it refused to overwrite. Eventully after much messing about, I put the CD in a PC running XP, unzipped the Homesite exe file to a folder on a usb pen drive. Repeated that to individual folders for Homesite 4.0 and the upgrade to 4.5. Installed Homesite 3.0, whuch installed easily then Homesite 4.0 which did not appear to work, so installed the upgrade to it, which installed and worked. I now have Homesite 4.5 running on Windows 7, just as I had in XP.

Thank you, WmSchwartz. I have what I assume is the latest updated version of Windows 7 and Homesite 5 and all I have to do is right-click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator," and it works perfectly. I echo everyone's complaint that Macromedia/Adobe should not have stopped supporting this program or at least should not have stopped making it available.

I'm not much of a techy, so really am at a loss. Maybe I'll have to once again try Dreamweaver. Too bad Nick Bradbury couldn't resurect this amazing program to work on the new systems...
35. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?Sqrlz Feb 24, 2011 5:54 PM (in response to paddybates)
See responses # 2 and #24 (by -Wm Schwartz) they explain the process - and you will have to install and run as administrator!
36. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, email@example.com Feb 24, 2011 7:50 PM (in response to paddybates)
I'd try installing it as Administrator. Right click on the installation
executable and choose "Administrator"
I thinkbecause I installed mine some
time ago.
I do know that if you get it installed, the first time you run it, you have to
run it as Administrator, using the technique above.
I said "yes" to "Do you want to allow this program to make changes? etc." It
did not seem to do any damage to any of my other files.
But let's see what other people have to say. Other people?

38. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, email@example.com May 3, 2011 1:30 PM (in response to embrlady)
I also moved to Windows 7 and have never been able to run HomeSite.....I don't think HomeSite is Windows 7 compatible. I believe others have found work arounds but when I tried some of the work arounds, it crashed by new laptop. I just gave up and have gone to using DreamWeaver and HTML-Kit....They aren't my favorites but I've learned to adjust.
I hope you have better luck!
39. Re: Homesite and Windows 7, anyone?WebPositions May 3, 2011 1:52 PM (in response to firstname.lastname@example.com)
I have tried all of the workarounds discussed above and elsewhere to no avail... I just can't get Homesite 5 to work under Windows 7. Really a shame that Adobe chose to abandon this fine product as I definitely feel there is a place for both Dreamweaver and Homesite editors.
When you want a quick little change, using Dreamweaver, Expression Web, or most other such tools is like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. More complex is not always the best answer, gang.
While I own *both* of those high end tools (and not really happy with either of them), I find myself most often resorting to the Coffee Cup HTML editor as it has the closest look and feel to Homesite. Certain differences will make you swear at it and wonder WHY did they do it that way, but you deal with it since it works in Win 7.
Funny. After all this time, I'd still go back to XP and all its foibles any day of the week so as to avoid the constant hassles and apparent change-for-the-sake-of-change I see in Win 7 applications.

Evaluating Statistical Models of Mortgage Lending Discrimination: A Bank-Specific Analysis
by Mitchell Stengel and Dennis Glennon
OCC Working Paper 95-3, May 1995.
The Boston Fed's study on mortgage lending discrimination has prompted a considerable rise in the use of statistical methods to evaluate banks' lending behavior. However, several issues concerning the validity, accuracy, and reliability of statistical models remain unresolved. In this paper, we attempt to address several of those issues within the context of a bank-specific analysis.
Using data gathered from three nationally chartered banks, we extend the "standard" model outlined in the Boston Fed study. We conclude that a model specification that incorporates the specific underwriting guidelines of the individual bank is more appropriate than a broadly-defined, generic specification applied across all banks. We also show that the process of incorporating the bank-specific guidelines is itself difficult and can be complicated further by the lack of accurate data upon which to build a valid representative sample.
We discuss several additional methodological issues concerning model validity, specification, sample design, and data accuracy that must be addressed if a statistical approach is to become a useful and accurate supervisory tool.
As with all OCC Working Papers, the opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Department of the Treasury.

This was a terrible tragedy that could have been prevented. My prayers go out to the victims and their families. May God provide you comfort in your time of sorrow. Let�s discuss the facts as we know them.
This was a terrible tragedy that could have been prevented. My prayers go out to the victims and their families. May God provide you comfort in your time of sorrow. Let�s discuss the facts as we know them.
First, once again, the shooting occurred in a gun-free zone, filled with ID checks and metal detectors that everyone erroneously assumed would save them.
Second, the shooting occurred in a jurisdiction, Washington D.C., which has been rabid in its efforts to take guns away from its own citizens � and to make it illegal for Washingtonians to defend themselves.
Third, lest there be any question, Congress has banned the possession of any �firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federal facility� [18 USC, Sec. 930]. Hence, they all but advertised to Alexis, that, with the exception of security, everyone in the Naval facility would be sitting ducks.
In sum, the shooting occurred in a jurisdiction where the firearm was illegal and in a building where firearms are illegal. Other than banning firearms nationally, how many more illegalities do anti-gunners intend to pile on?
Banning guns and imposing background checks won�t stop these creeps, but armed good guys will. Remember that the Oregon shooter last December stole his AR-15 before killing two people at the Clackamas mall. But he retreated when he saw Nick Meli, who holds a concealed carry permit, draw his gun and point it at him. The killer then retreated and took his own life.
Given that putting guns in good people�s hands will save lives, why are law-abiding personnel being disarmed here on military bases? How ironic that when CNN�s John Roberts asked a military spouse if she was anxious about her husband being deployed to Afghanistan (in 2009), she responded: �At least he�s safe there and he can fire back, right?�
Efforts will be made to scapegoat Virginia for this most recent tragedy. But, not coincidentally, Alexis did not attack a Virginia locale where potential victims could defend themselves with guns.

Skip the Laundry Room: Portable Washers & Drying Racks
We've all faced it at one time or another. You walk into the laundry room, fully weighted down with a bulging basket of dirty clothes, only to discover that every machine is being used ... and there's a queue of other baskets stacked up next to it. Skip the laundry room, head back to the comfort of your apartment and freshen your clothes with these portable washers and drying racks.
• The Laundry Pod is a manual table top washing machine. Think salad spinner for your socks. You can wash up to 10 garments at a time by placing them inside with a little detergent and water, cranking the handle, and spinning the clothes for a few minutes. Rinse and spin again and you've got clean clothes ready to be dried. Janel first saw it at the Housewares Show last year and now you can purchase it directly from the Laundry Pod website. $99.95
• Avanti Portable Top Load Washer is a small electric litter brother to the standard machine. The unit can be attached to a standard kitchen sink. Available from AJ Madison for $341.
• This Vintage HandyHot Portable Electric Washing Machine from Ebay proves that people have been trying to avoid the laundromat for years! This small electric washer was originally intended for use in an RV but it could be a lifesaver in an apartment. $155
• Panda Portable Compact Washer is another handcrank machine. Found on Amazon, this little washer has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews from users. $99.99
• The Wonderwash Portable Hand Crank Washing Machine seems a bit smaller and a little more primitive than the others. But at $55 from Compact Appliance, it's worth the money if you're only planning occasional use.
• This Pegasus V Duo Landry Drying Rack from Leifheit fits over the bathtub,making it great for small spaces! $40
• The thing we love about this Window Clothes Drying Rack from Vermont Country Store is that the drying clothes get the added whitening power of sunlight, even when you can't get outside. $49.95
• If you're lucky enough to have outdoor space, The Laundry Dome from UrbanClothesline.com seems absolutely perfect. The plastic drying shelter allows you to use a drying line even in the rain. And on sunny days the heat created under the shelter would dry the clothes in a jiffy. $99.95
• The D-Rack Clothes Drying Rack, also from UrbanClothesline.com, is compact when you don't need it and expansive when you do. The unit can be attached to a wall or used freestanding. $89.95
• For small spaces, the coat tree shape of the Household Essentials Plastic Drying Rack may be a good fit. With its slender shape, the rack requires little floor real estate. You might even set it up in front of a window. Available from ClotheslineSource.com for $34.99.
• We're a bit obsessed with things that attach to the ceiling so of course we love LOFTi Laundry Drying System. A unique pulley system lowers the rack when you're ready to use it. The New Clothesline Company $79.99
• Moerman Laundry Drying System from Amazon is just your basic drying rack, but with a modern shape and skinny profile. $22.99

Have You Heard About… Eyes like Stars
…the enchanted Theatre Illuminata? You can visit it in Eyes like Stars, by Lisa Mantchev. Bertie (Beatrice Shakespeare Smith) grew up in the Theatre Illuminata with no memory of her parents or a life before that magical place. Her clothes are cared for by the Wardrobe Mistress, everything she has is managed by the Properties Manager, food appears in the Green Room when it is needed, and almost all of her friends are Players who exist for their roles. However, Bertie is starting to grow up and her pranks are getting out of hand. She needs to find an invaluable way to contribute the Theatre, or she must leave the only home she has ever known.
This is a very fun coming-of-age fantasy novel. It took me a little while to get used to the setting, but madcap Bertie and her constant fairy companions had me hooked from the beginning. Knowing something about theaters and acting will definitely help you understand this book; the terminology is tossed around without much explanation. The lush descriptions and never-ending action, not to mention Bertie's incredible talent for leaping headlong into trouble, make this a wonderfully enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to the sequel!
One of my favorite quotes (from p. 175): "On what planet would a basket of asps be considered a set piece and not a prop?"
The second book in the series is Perchance to Dream.

"Love it"
My show donkeys are black and when I use this shampoo it intensifies the black adds and add extra shine to their coat. I was initially afraid it would make their white underbelly gray but it remain snowy white.
"like it, don't love it"
I just used this on my Bay horse. He looked the same after, but honestly I wasn't expecting him to be magically darker. I like the smell of this stuff. It didn't suds up as much as some soaps. After washing his black mane and tail with this they looked AMAZING!(as in they looked blacker, and when I braided his main it looked sharper than usual, plus when I brushed out his tail this stuff made it look fuller), but next day I after washing it looks like his mane has now attracted a lot more dirt than usual. For a show I would use this on his mane and tail, but I would not use this regularly(since it attracts too much dirt next day on mane only, body was fine). On his body it did as good of job as any and made him a little softer than normal. Personally I'm still going to stick with Head and Shoulders Classic 2in1, cuz it does a great job of getting my horse clean and staying clean for longer.
"True to form!"
This shampoo is great. I spent a long time looking at different shampoos and was unsure of what to get. I really like the fact that Jeffers has a black coat shampoo has I had difficulty tracking something like this down. They offer it at such a great price and in a large bottle. I purchase the gallon one and it lasts me a long time. I pour it into a bucket and dilute it with water. Then I wash my horse just like I would a car (lol) and it works great. She?ÇÖs all black with the exception of a star on her forehead and this keeps her color brilliant! I will definitely be purchasing this shampoo repeatedly for my horse. She has no reaction to the ingredients and that is a plus. It gets her coat really clean not to mention it lathers up well. I honestly can?ÇÖt compare it to all other shampoos, but for what you get and cost, I don?ÇÖt think you can beat this!
