Kindred Spirits
Before he was even done with his interview a few weeks ago, Nino's eight-inch Italian cock was rock hard and sticking out of a hole in his jeans, leaking a steady of stream precum. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the very next week Malachi teased us by showing off the bulge made by his nine-inch dick, until we were ready to pull down that zipper with our teeth and get that big slab of beef out in the open where it belonged. Malachi was not playing around when he attended a recent fetish party and ended up on the stage, fucking the hostess while the crowd cheered him on�Nino relates he has fucked girls in front of all of his brothers and most of his friends. Let's do the math: add two exhibitionists, three new porn dvd's, a six pack of beer, and a pile of cash, and what do you get? A red hot episode of CircleJerkBoys.com where not having any women in the equation definitely works for us, but for Malachi and Nino�well, they pass this oral arithmetic lesson with flying...colors!Nino is studying to be a massage therapist and comes dressed in his working clothes right from class. Nino straddles him and works his magic up and down Malachi's back until he winds up in his underwear on the floor with a now shirtless Nino working Malachi's legs and moving up. As he moves to sit across Malachi's thighs, his cock starts to snake out of the top of his pants as his fingers slide into the waistband of Malachi's shorts, before tugging them off and giving Malachi's freshly-unveiled ass a good slap. Nino completely ignores the beauty of those buns and instead locks his sights on something else�Malachi's mouth.Malachi is on his knees on the bed with Nino standing over him, bouncing that fat eight inches in and out of Malachi's mouth, leaving long glistening strands of spit as he pounds his meat again and again, pushing the metal beads on the underside of his shaft into Malachi's tongue. Malachi is far from a deep throat expert, but he grabs that meaty pole by the base and proceeds to chow down like a champ, aided by Nino grabbing him by the hair to help speed along the process. Practice does make perfect, and Malachi seems to be much more at home a bit later as they lie on the bed. The further down he goes on Nino's cock, the harder it gets, until it is a double-fisted stick much too big for Malachi's inexperienced mouth. Malachi is too polite to talk with his mouth full to complain, nor does it stop his cock from growing to its full nine inches. Sitting next to each other, the battle of breeders moves to the finish line as they both pound away at their big dicks until twin, thick, white heavy blasts cover both of their bellies�and a wide swatch of the rug. Not a bad math lesson at all. Next time, we will come up with a new equation, and though they do not know it yet, the magic answer will be sixty-nine! We will keep you posted!

Gov. Pat McCrory says difficult decisions had to be made in North Carolina government in 2013 while tackling complex problems he believes will lead to a better and more prosperous state.
McCrory made the comments during an end-of-the-year video message released by his office Wednesday.
The Republican governor characterized his first year in office as one in which the state had to endure short-term pain for long-term gain. He cited a lower unemployment rate and passage of a tax overhaul plan as positive developments.
The governor vowed in 2014 to build on this year's progress and work to streamline government and improve public education.
McCrory and other Republicans have been criticized for laws that cut unemployment benefits and failed to raise teacher salaries among others.

Oracle blamed for terrible Oregon Obamacare site
The state's portal cost $43 million to develop and hasn't signed up a single person. Officials are blasting the company for what's being called a 'disaster zone.'
By Julie Bort, Business Insider
Oracle (ORCL) is being publicly flogged for Oregon's dysfunctional Affordable Care Act website.
The website has been called "the worst disaster zone" in the Obamacare's roll out" by The Washington Post's Ezra Klein.
That's because the state's website cost $43 million ($1.7 million over budget) and hasn't been able to sign up a single person. Worse still, it might not be working until after the March 31 deadline for enrolling in health care.
So said the Oregon executive responsible for the state's rollout, Rocky King, in a hearing last week, as reported by Blue Oregon's Kari Chisholm.
Cover Oregon board member Ken Allen blasted Oracle at the hearing, saying:
This is their failure. . . Their dates have shifted and shifted and shifted. . . The Cover Oregon staff are tremendously dedicated folks who have worked really hard. . . All of that good will and support from the business community is being frittered away because Oracle didn't get it online. It's 98% Oracle's screw up.
Meanwhile, Oregon hired 400 temp workers to process paper applications by hand, so that people who apply for coverage by Dec. 15 will have coverage by Jan. 1, Allen said.
Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley blasted Oracle on television, too.
When NBC's Chuck Todd asked him on Friday if he could explain the problems with Oregon's health care rollout, he answered "Yes. Oracle."
And he let that word hang in the air until Todd asked him for details. Then Merkley said:
Oracle was contracted to write the exchange. They promised it would be fully delivered on time, it would be beautiful and do more than any other exchange in the country, and it's in complete dysfunction. So we had to return to paper applications.
The irony of this situation is that Oracle is one of the Silicon Valley companies that the Obama administration has called in to help fix the disastrous federal website.
We asked Oracle if it had any response, or any explanation for Oregon's website problems. Oracle had no comment.
More from Business Insider
It is back to the blame game. As a resident of Oregon and retired procurement professional I can tell you the state has little expertise in this area. But the bottom line is the State is ultimately responsible for managing their supplier(s). Senator Merkely is noting but a political shill for the Democratic party. He has been totally behind the ACA ignoring problem areas and pleas from citizens to delay the implementation until recently. Now that problems are being escalated in the press threatening his re-election in 2014 he has suddenly become more vocal. Oregonians replace this hypocrite in 2014. We need legislators who read and understand bills before voting them into law.
Is anybody adding up ALL the individual states' IT expenditures + future IT maintenance expenses + federal government IT development and IT expenses. And, that's just the IT expenditures. Then, what the individual policy holder is going to pay in increased expenditures. Mine would have increased a mere 93% - God only knows what it will increase to come January 1, 2015.
Think there might be some additional tax increases to help pay for all this "progressive" stuff? It's definitely coming out of somebody's hide. Maybe they'll just tax those evil rich people and they will take care of the rest of us. This whole thing just keeps getting better and better.
(Reuters) - President would veto a bill sponsored by a Republican congressman that would allow insurers to offer healthcare plans slated to be canceled because they do not meet the new U.S. healthcare law's standards, the White House said on Thursday.
The veto threat came hours after Obama, under fire for the botched roll-out of his signature domestic policy achievement, said health insurers could extend by at least one year policies that were due to be canceled because they do not comply with new minimum requirements.
The White House has said previously that the bill, sponsored by Representative Fred Upton of Michigan, would undermine the law known as Obamacare because it would allow plans that had been canceled to be sold to anyone, not just people who wanted to renew their existing plans.
The bill "rolls back the progress made by allowing insurers to continue to sell new plans that deploy practices such as not offering coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, charging women more than men, and continuing yearly caps on the amount of care that enrollees receive," the White House said in a statement on Thursday.
"The administration supports policies that allow people to keep the health plans that they have. But, policies that reverse the progress made to extend quality, affordable coverage to millions of uninsured, hard-working, middle-class families are not the solution," it said.
Upton is the chair of the House of Representatives' energy and commerce committee and a longtime critic of Obamacare.
Democrats and Republicans have expressed anger over the prospect of several million Americans having their policies canceled. Obama's proposed fix on Thursday was aimed at addressing one of a myriad of problems associated with the law since the glitchy website Healthcare.gov went online last month.

Track season coming to a close
by Jack Kintner
Rhyan Lopez anchored Blaine�s 400-meter relay team to a second place finish last Friday at the North Cascades Track and Field championships, pressing past Lakewood�s anchorman in the last two steps of the race to finish .06 seconds ahead of him and .8 seconds off the pace set by South Whidbey.
Blaine�s boys and girls track teams added two more second place finishes and five thirds in qualifying 16 for the district meet Friday in Sultan. The top three finishers in each event will then go on to the state meet at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, May 29-31.
The Blaine boys team finished fifth of nine schools at the meet which saw Mount Baker, last year�s state champs, do no better than third behind Meridian and winner South Whidbey. The girls team, young and building this season, finished seventh. Running events were dominated by Meridian�s distance ace Kira Harrison, defending state 1,600 meter champion, who broke two meet records and a school record. She�s already signed up by U of W for next year.
Blaine track team members going to the district meet in Sultan, and their event, include:
Boys: Geoff Faulkner (long jump, high jump), Sam Abrams (110 H), Rhyan Lopez (100 H), Danny Le, Bayartsengel Khishighori (300 H), Kit Schumann, Brian McCall (pole vault), Geoff Faulkner, Danny Le, Brian McCall and Rhyan Lopez (400 & 1600 meter relay).
Girls: Jessica Summers (discus), Mollie Menard (triple jump), Kimberly Harmening and Erin Lippie (pole vault), Andrea Harmening (javelin), Shela Robertson, Carly Hubbard, Amanda Johansen and Akilah Price (800 meter relay).
Sports Shorts
Rain moving north into the Skagit Valley meant moving the sub-district tournament from Mt. Vernon to Semiahmoo last week, but despite the near home court advantage, none of the Blaine players were able to make it past South Whidbey�s formidable defending state championship team.
�Jessica Freeman and Linsey Taylor came close,� said coach Patrick Green of his No. 1 doubles team, �and actually both our first and second doubles teams played their best match of the year.� Blaine�s second team is sophomore Jennifer Kramer and junior Krista Jones. Sophomore Rochelle Jackson is the No. 1 singles player and junior Andrea Klemt is No. 2. All but Taylor will return next year.
Blaine finished second in the league tournament and therefore will play in the southwest district tournament for a state berth this Thursday.
The young but aggressive team�s next stop is the North Cascades District Tournament on Saturday at Janicki Fields next to Sedro Woolley high school. Six teams - Blaine, Mt. Baker, South Whidbey, Nooksack, Meridian and Lynden Christian - play a double-elimination tournament and, when the dust clears, three will go on to the state tournament in Wenatchee May 30 and 31.
At South Whidbey last week, two girls and four boys qualified for the districts held earlier this week at Bellingham�s golf and country club. At Bellingham, senior Kevin Farmer birdied the first hole and carded a blistering 78 for a top- eight finish and a berth in the state golf tournament in Pasco on May 28 and 29.
On the girl�s side, freshman Tegan Bukowski missed the cut off for state by just four strokes after 36 holes, shooting a final round of 58/52 including two pars on the back nine.

Tropical depressions and storms that may develop into hurricanes occur in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans. The east and Gulf coasts of the United States (including Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas), Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean are the most threatened areas. Extreme weather events of this kind appear to be becoming more frequent and may pose a growing threat in these regions. If you choose to travel during the hurricane season (June to November), you may be affected by these storms. Our ability to help Irish citizens may be limited (possibly severely) in such circumstances.
If you are in or plan to be in a hurricane region during the hurricane season, you should:
- Confirm travel arrangements prior to departure and ensure that your travel insurance allows for trip cancellation/interruption in the event of a hurricane.
- Ensure that detailed information – including the name of the tour operator, flight details, hotel name, location, room number and telephone numbers, cruise ship details and itineraries – is left with family or friends in Ireland.
- Consider registering with the nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate
- Monitor local news broadcasts and weather reports carefully, follow the advice, including departure orders, of local authorities and/or tour operators.
- Carry details on how to contact the nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate In case of emergency.

Kew Palace, a brick mansion with a distinctly Dutch look, located in the grounds of Kew Gardens, is open to the public during the spring and summer each year. In the eighteenth century, it was here that George III was confined during episodes of the mysterious and debilitating illness that is now believed to have been porphyria. On the ground floor there's an audiovisual display about the 15 children George III had with Queen Charlotte (when the King was well the royal family often stayed at Kew Palace in the summer). Among the items on display are a suit belonging to George III and his breakfast service. The restoration of the royal kitchens, situated next to the Palace, was completed in 2013.
At the weekends and on Bank Holidays, Queen Charlotte's Cottage is also open. It was to this little cottage in its idyllic woodland setting, that George III and Queen Charlotte went to relax when they were in residence at Kew Palace. Built in 1770, the cottage provided an informal setting for rustic meals when the royal family felt like slumming it and it was also used for the celebration of formal weddings including that of Edward Duke of Kent, the father of Queen Victoria. Next door to the cottage there used to be a menagerie of exotic animals – including kangaroos. Among the traces of the Georgian decor still visible in the cottage are remnants of wallpaper, Hogarth prints, Chinese-style chairs and bamboo furniture and a wall painted by one of George III's daughters, the Princess Elizabeth.
Admission to Kew Palace and Queen Charlotte's Cottage is included in your Kew Gardens ticket.

COVINGTON - For many students, the SATs and school break have temporarily put athletics on hold.That is, unless you were among one of the 10 teams participating in the first Tiger Trail Classic on Saturday - particularly the Newton boys and Alcovy girls cross country squads. Despite missing several runners due to testing and vacation, both the Rams (86 points) and Lady Tigers each finished third during the inaugural event at Alcovy High School. "I think it was good for the kids," Alcovy coach Scott Murphy said. "We saw a lot of fast times today (and) some really good races for the girls, including several personal records. It's always nice when they come out, especially considering their holiday started two days ago." The Ola boys took first place honors with 39 points, while Sequoyah finished second. In girls action, the script was flipped as Sequoyah placed first and Ola second. "It's nice to have it so local," Newton coach Aaron Robinson said. "When you run these tough courses it makes your other courses seem a little more doable. We work real hard in practice so that helps when they come out to these races. It makes these races fun." Other competing schools included Griffin, North Atlanta, Stockbridge, Shiloh, Salem and Douglass. "It's unfortunate we missed a few runners today because of the SATs and the break," Salem coach Kurt Peters said, "but I was pleased and everyone ran really well. They enjoyed the course, and I think they had a good time." For the boys, Newton's Tyler Ransom placed seventh with a mark of 18 minutes and 48 seconds. "We were pleased with Tyler," Robinson said. "He's really moving along." Shiloh's Donye Coleman finished first overall with a time of 20:58. Newton's Ameryst Armstead took third, while Alcovy's Tatlin Gammon ended eighth. "I was pleased even though a couple of people didn't run quite what I expected," Murphy said. "But overall, the people who were here ran well." The course, which is riddled with hills among the beautiful scenery behind Alcovy, certainly proved tougher than most, providing a challenge for the runners. "We built it that way on purpose," Murphy said. "It's actually faster today than normal because the creek crossing was dry. We like it tough. It's cross country - we don't want to be running on golf course fairways. But overall, yes. I would consider today a success." Jason Murdock can be reached at email@example.com.

Ready for SONY, PSVITA 3G/Wifi?
Sony's PlayStation Vita hasn't exactly sold like hotcakes over in Japan, so the company has sweetened the pot for the portable's potential Stateside buyers. Those who placed pre-orders will get a couple of extra goodies for their US$350. To go with the previously promised limited edition case, 4GB memory card and copy of Little Deviants, you'll also receive 250MB of data from AT&T and a PlayStation Network game gratis as soon as you activate 3G on the device.
Furthermore, folks buying a Vita on launch day can look forward to the same free data and PSN game, plus an 8GB memory card in exchange for their US$300. So, that enough to get you on the handheld's bandwagon? Sound off in the comments below.
Limited Edition Blue Wii for $99.96
Walmart selling Limited Edition Blue Wii for $99.96 on Black Friday
No, you aren't "losing" that thing up top — Walmart will indeed be bringing those limited edition blue Wiis to the US of A starting this Thursday, and better still, it'll be hawking 'em for just $99.96 apiece. If you'll recall, the powder blue variants of Nintendo's newest home console were previously reserved for other sections of the globe, but a new spot that just aired on CBS' broadcast of the Titans vs. Falcons has confirmed that it'll be on sale within a matter of days for those lucky enough to snag one. They'll be offered up starting at 10:00PM on November 24th (that's Thanksgiving day, you know) and should be completely sold out by 10:00:01PM on the same day. That tally will net you a console, a matching Wii Remote Plus and a Nunchuk. Good luck — pack a helmet.
P.S. - Black Thursday is the new Black Friday.
Game's Market?
I think brainless game like racing and shooting (angry bird) have big market. Does it mean we're very brainless on nowadays?

WORLEY, Idaho -- Inattentive driving was to blame for a head-on crash in Worley, Idaho Thursday night, according to Idaho State Police.
It happened around 10:30 p.m. off Highway 95.
Troopers said traffic was stopped for a car turning off the highway when a driver rear ended another car. The force of that wreck pushed one of those cars into oncoming traffic.
Two people were injured with non-life threatening injuries.
The original driver was cited for inattentive driving.

For those of you who experience sore breasts during your cycles....
1) Have you ever experienced significant breast tenderness during your cycle before O? After O -- awaiting AF?
2) Have you had breast sensitivity/soreness when you suspect/ and are pregnant?
In the last 2 days, I've gotten quite a lot of tenderness in my breasts. When I've gotten my BFPs... I've experienced some sensitivity that's alerted me to being pregnant, but never gotten sore or tender breasts until I've been 5-7 weeks along. This is my first full month on cycle with Metformin again (after the MC in August) and I know in the past its "amplified" feelings in my cycle -- ie. I could feel ovulation a few times, and it made my periods horrendously crampy etc.... but I never got breast symptoms on it before.
I'm on day 24 (normally running about a 30 day cycle on average) and have a lot of soreness... I tested today (even though I know it should be WAAY early but never know considering I have no idea what affect the Metformin will have on my cycles as I use it at this point) and got a BFN but with a "okay, is that a shadow of a line or not" -- so will wait a few more days before testing again.
Just wanted to know how common a symptom this is for most women and how severe you find the tenderness etc (as its not something I generally experience).

Posted: Fri Oct 28 2011
Samarqand is a city forever at a crossroads, where dishes echo those of Turkey, China and more recently, Russia. Celebrating the food of contemporary Uzbekistan, this is a smart operation, furnished in a five-star-hotel style of expensive dark wood and mood lighting, with charming service throughout.
Starters include soups or samosas scattered with rocket leaves, while plov (a close relative of pilau) is prepared the Uzbek way, correctly glistening with so much fat it resembled stir-fried rice rather than the delicate rice dishes of Iran or India. Likewise, the lagman noodles were exemplary: freshly made and served in a simple beef and vegetable broth. Meat-filled wheat pasta dumplings is another dish that crops up from Korea to Poland, but this version, manty – minced lamb dumplings, served with yoghurt dips – is distinctively Central Asian.
Our fellow diners were mostly monied Russians (Samarqand is part of a Russian restaurant group), enjoying the extensive list of vodkas and high-priced wines. Sadly, many of the rear alcoves have been turned into private dining areas (some with karaoke facilities) pitched at expat Russian speakers in party mood. Be prepared if you visit on a Friday or Saturday night.

Interesting dishes.
Samarqand is AMAZING! I absolutely loved the food! (The plov and russian hering are highly recommend) The atmosphere is great and the service is impeccable! Staff are very friendly too! Audience is - contrary to the review - quite international. Furthermore the bar - and its vodka selection - are unrivalled in London!
great restaurant, good food and atmosphere. ))))

DREAM Act
The DREAM Act would expand access to higher education for all students who meet specific requirements. About 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school each year. Yet without the Dream Act, they are relegated to a life in the underground economy. Dreamers have done everything our society has asked them to do. They have worked hard, studied hard and have played by the rules and want to pursue their dream of a college education. The AFT strongly supports the DREAM Act.

Fresh of a convincing victory against Portland, Washington State shifts its focus to the big, bad Gonzaga Bulldogs. A rivalry game.
The Cougars come into Wednesday's contest with a measure of confidence after having outscored the Pilots 32-12 in the paint on Saturday. They hope a home court advantage can give them the extra edge to knock of one of the hottest teams in the country.
"It will be similar to the Washington game – an in-state rivalry, two teams that are very talented and good, and I think a lot of the people here who are Coug fans and students know a lot of the guys on the other team, so therefore I think it'll be a great crowd," said coach Ken Bone.
Washington State hopes to repeat what they did against Gonzaga two years ago when they handed the Zags a humiliating defeat.
This week will be the 146th meeting between the Zags and Cougs. The game tips off Wednesday at 5 p.m. (PT) on ESPNU.

Chink's Steaks changes 'disparaging' name to Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop
Chink's Steaks is chucking its "disparaging" name, according to a news release.
Joe Groh, who inherited the then 50-year-old name when he purchased the steak shop in 1999, said he didn't change the name originally because of sentimental value.
"Chink's was a local institution named after the original owner's childhood nickname," Groh said in a news release. "We did not associate it with the racial slur … Chink was a neighborhood celebrity and at the time I wanted to accommodate our customers by keeping everything the same. Even the name."
Groh said he is "doing his best to accommodate his ever-growing customer base."
"It is very important to me, my family and the entire staff that we no longer inadvertently alienate anyone in the Philly community. We are very excited to move forward under the new name, Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop," he said in the release.
Groh said the new name fits the Northeast Philly staple, at 6030 Torresdale Ave., as the shop has sold hand-crafted sodas, milkshakes and egg creams since its inception in 1949.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - The San Diego Chargers released veteran wide receiver Robert Meachem and 10 more players Saturday to get down to the league-mandated 53-man roster limit.
Offensive tackle Nick Becton, linebackers Frank Beltre and Thomas Keiser, tight ends Ben Cotton and David Rolf, cornerbacks Marcus Cromartie and Josh Johnson, defensive end Logan Harrell, running back Michael Hill and center David Molk were also released by the Chargers.
"I thanked all of the players for giving us their 100 percent effort and dedication," rookie San Diego head coach Mike McCoy said. "They all worked extremely hard and gave us everything they had.
"Days like this are never easy. I have been in their shoes. I was cut five times by five different teams. I feel for these men."
The Chargers will open their season on Sept. 9, when they hosts the Houston Texans.

Florida tea party fighting against … manatees?
A tea party group is fired up over proposed restrictions on boating in Kings Bay, Fla., that would help protect the manatee population. The restrictions would designate all of Kings Bay as a refuge and eliminate the summer water sports zone, slashing the speed at which boaters could travel through the bay.

On a two game 'tear', the Buffalo Sabres played host to the New Jersey Devils in a matinee game at the First Niagara Center. Nothing like fisticuffs just seconds in to get both teams into the game…even if the fight between Steve Ott and David Clarkson was a dud.
The first period was relatively entertaining and both teams had plenty of power play opportunities, but failed to cash, in resulting in two bagels at the end of the first. Of the four first period powerplay opportunities for the Sabres, Christian Ehroff negated the Buffalo advantage TWICE just seconds into their powerplay with two god-awful penalties. Shame on Ehroff for doing nothing to help his team who has the worst PP in the league.
Shorthanded, Jason Pominville scored first for the Buffalo Sabres at the seven minute mark of the second period followed shortly thereafter by Steve Bernier to even it up at one. The Sabres' penalty kill was incredible during the second period, stopping three New Jersey powerplays.
The third period was packed with scoring action and Adam Henrique opened the floodgates just over a minute in. Pominville notched his second of the night just two minutes later with assists coming from Cody Hodgson and Ott. Mikhail Grigorenko tallied an assist as Jochen Hecht put away a dribbler halfway through the period.
Just as things seemed to be settling in the Sabres' favor, in the blink of an eye, the bottom fell out. Adrei Loktionov tied the game twelve minutes in by outmaneuvering Ryan Miller in front of the net. For the final eight minutes of the game, Buffalo seemed like they were their old selves…bad. With a plethora of icing calls against the Sabres', all lines looked like they were running on 'E'. Luckily, New Jersey did not have any spectacular chances late in the third period and it was off to overtime we went.
Nathan Gerbe drew a great roughing penalty at the beginning of overtime after throwing his body around in John Scott's absence. The Buffalo Sabres had two powerplay opportunities in OT, but could not capitalize on either – even if the last one was with just 20 seconds left. Pominville and Tyler Ennis put their pentaly shots away, making Hedberg look silly in the process. Ryan Miller was LIGHTS OUT in the shootout; shutting down both of the Devils shooters and chirping Adam Henrique on his way to center ice to celebrate Buffalo's third straight win. Good win, boys.

Residents, businesses can recycle computers, cell phones, other electronic items
Wednesday June 23, 2004
CyberCycle Recycling Program Available Year-Round Media Contacts:

Mayor Jerry Abramson today urged Louisville residents, businesses and nonprofit organizations to recycle their unwanted computers, cell phones, and electronic equipment by taking advantage of an expanded program provided by Louisville Metro Government.
"CyberCycle is now a year-round program that will make electronics recycling both convenient and environmentally friendly," Abramson said. "This program enhances Louisville Metro's recycling efforts and takes a pro-active approach to providing a long-term, sustainable and easy-to-use alternative to electronics disposal."
For several years the opportunity to recycle electronics has been limited to one weekend a year but is being expanded due to strong demand from both residents and businesses, Abramson said. "In the single weekend that Cybercycle was available last year, we collected 13 semi-trailer loads of computers and other electronics or about 113 tons."
According to the U.S. EPA, over 2,000,000 tons of electronics end up in landfills each year. Electronics contain a variety of hazardous metals, such as cadmium, that require special handling. Computer monitors can contain four or more pounds of lead each. Electronic components also contain precious metals such as gold and copper that can easily be recycled.
Acceptable items for the CyberCycle program include computers, scanners, printers, monitors, tape and disk drives, VCRs, CD players, digital cameras, and cell phones. All electronics collected will be shipped to a vendor for recycling purposes.
Residents will be allowed to dispose of three items per visit at no charge. An example of one item is a computer monitor, hard drive, keyboard and printer. Businesses will be charged a .20 per pound disposal fee. Nonprofit organizations will be charged .10 per pound. These fees will help defray some of the rising costs related to shipping and proper disposal. Electronic equipment from businesses and nonprofit groups are accepted by appointment only. Residents may take their electronic items any time during normal operating hours to:
·Louisville Metro Waste Reduction Center
636 Meriwether Avenue Hours of Operation: Tuesday thru Friday – 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM Saturday – 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
For further information, residents and businesses may phone MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000.
Photo Opportunity:
When: Wednesday, June 23, 1:30 p.m.
Where: Metro Waste Reduction Center, 636 Meriwether Avenue (Note: Meriwether runs between S. Shelby and W. Burnette Streets)
What: Pallets of computer and other electronic gear loose, and shrink-wrapped for shipping; staff preparing electronics for shipping; items being dropped-off at site for recycling.

Eyes look weird.
Nose ring is, odd.
Paws look too small.
Horns too big.
Still looks very...Male.
Its a lot better than before, but I cant help but be a little disappointed. /sad
The male only thing continues to bug me some too, especially considering how Blizzard has done such a nice job of creating male AND female lion-based cat models out in the game world that could have been used for inspiration.
I agree, that these forms are much better than before, and they do look decidedly more like predators.
It just would have been nice if they were going to pick a creature like a lion that has such distinctive male/female dimorphism for their inspiration, to make use of that gender distinction among player characters.
Perhaps in a future patch. :)

previously used, old and smelly

I like trying different spa type products and sampling travel sizes seems like a good way to see if you like a product. My order arrived today. I believe I have received a returned and old product as it seemed all the products had been opened and they smell bad. You know how lotion or lipstick smells when it's past its due date? That plasticky, crayon smell? That's how all of these products smell, plus the products were not sealed as good quality products are. The little jar of eye serum? It was nearly dried up completely!!! I also ordered the June Jacobs spa set with the same bag and it seems okay - all the outer and inner zipper pulls were covered in tissue paper. On this set, there was no tissue paper on any zipper pulls, which is another sign that this has been tested and returned. This is going back in the mail tomorrow (and I really like the case the products came in but I'm not paying this amount of money for a plastic case!).TSC - you need to have better quality control!! Do not mail out skin care products that have been used and/or are so old they stink!! I hope this set is not sent out to a future purchaser. Buyer beware.
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami

We all love (but don't want to pay for) good design
Most marketers agree that design boosts brand perception but few measure its effectiveness and fewer still will be lifting design budgets.
In an uncertain economic climate businesses need to be able to convince consumers that their products and services are worth investing in and frequently turn to the design world for help in the battle to win or retain customers.
According to Marketing Week's design attitudes research, conducted in association with specialist packaging designer and design consultant JKR, marketers and directors across all sectors continue to believe that investment in good design will enable them to improve the overall customer experience and boost sales.
About this survey
- This research was carried out in February 2011 among readers of Marketing Week and visitors to our website, MarketingWeek.co.uk.
- Of the respondents, 15% work in an organisation with more than 5,000 employees; 20% work for organisations with between 101 and 500 employees, while 31% work in companies with between one and 50 employees.
- Marketers from a variety of sectors responded to this survey - 17% are from financial companies, 13% from travel and leisure companies and 12% are from the retail sector.
- All results have been rounded up or down to the nearest full percentage point. Not all tables add up to 100, as more than one answer may be given.
The majority of respondents to the survey think design is 'very effective' or 'somewhat effective' at getting people to buy a product (81%), while more than a third - 35% - believe that good design can help justify price increases.
These findings are important to note in view of the current market conditions. As prices for raw materials continue to rise, marketers will be hard-pressed to justify the consequent and necessary price increases of the goods they represent - especially at a time when unemployment is rising. Good design could prove crucial in communicating the message that a brand is worth the extra money.
One respondent to the survey, who works for a company that employs between 501 and 1,000 people, says their design "improves brand and quality perception, which in turn increases revenues and profits," adding: "In today's markets, there is nothing more important than that."
The vast majority (96%) of respondents to the survey agree that design helps a product or service to stand out while 97% agree that making something look good improves brand perception, which is important as products jostle for attention in mature and sometimes jaded market places.
A business development director working for a professional services company admits: "In a sector of 'boring suits', design helps us to show that we are different to our clients, which also have strong brands."
But, perhaps surprisingly, 83% of respondents to the survey believe that good design is 'very effective' or 'somewhat effective' at improving overall customer experience.
A respondent from a utilities company says that, in that particular sector, the overall customer experience is key. They say: "We are designing for people, so ensuring that our design strategy enhances customer experience across all touchpoints is essential for my business."
More than two-thirds (68%) of respondents also believe that good design improves employee engagement. One says that good design communicates the "overall value of an organisation", helping employees to understand the type of business they work for.
However, while the survey results show that design considerations are integral to the success of a business, budgets that businesses are allocating this year to design are low. Of the respondents, 40% are allocating under £50,000 for design, while only 10% say they intend to spend more than £1m. Considering that 30% of respondents are working for sizeable businesses with more than 1,000 employees, there appears there will be a vast under-investment in design this year.
A marketing manager from a consumer goods company says: "Good design needn't cost the earth." And this view could well prevail across many businesses, judging by the small design budgets.
However, another marketing manager, working in the financial sector, admits: "With a smaller budget than our competitors, it's difficult to use design as a source of competitive advantage."
Nevertheless the survey shows that most respondents do think design is important to their competitive advantage. More than half (52%) believe that good design is 'very important' in order to be competitive and 42% believe good design to be 'somewhat effective' in terms of their competitiveness. However, most say they do not measure the effectiveness of design.
This may go some way to explain why budgets for 2011 are so low. If marketers can't justify to the board how design is boosting business, then it might be difficult to justify big budgets.
Those marketers who do measure the effectiveness of design use a variety of methods. A marketing and PR co-ordinator from a not-for-profit company says the design budget at the company is allocated to outdoor poster campaigns and leaflets. The marketing department "measures how visitors hear about us through market research". They add that outdoor advertising always measures very highly in terms of return on investment when the company undertakes this type of research.
Many marketers say that it is difficult to separate design from other elements of marketing and for this reason it is difficult to assess its effectiveness. One respondent says: "Campaign return on investment is measured, but not the design element, specifically." Others say the only way they assess the effectiveness of the design spend is by general brand tracking studies that they run on a regular basis.
One design agency says that the introduction of QR codes has helped it to determine which of its posters are ramping up customer engagement but in general, it seems marketers find it difficult to assess design on its own merits, because elements of design pervade all marketing activities.
But, despite being unable to measure clearly the effectiveness of design, 10% of respondents believe that the creative discipline offers 'very good' return on investment, compared with other marketing investments, while 39% believe it offers 'good' returns. Many (42%) believe design is 'on a par' with other marketing investments.
83% of respondents to the survey believe that good design is 'very effective' or 'somewhat effective' at improving overall customer experience
So, it seems that, although budgets are scarce this year, marketers and marketing directors across the sector appreciate the value of good design. One agency respondent says that its clients "are more design-aware and are pushing the boundaries for more creative, show-stopping trophies to reflect their brand values".
In contrast, another respondent from the manufacturing sector says that 2011 is the year design "needs to distance itself from the idea that it is exclusively about fashion and style".
Summing up, one global marketing director says: "More than ever before, we are seeing simplicity as a fundamental driver of design. Perhaps we now have an 'Apple mindset', in which all design needs to function without an instruction manual. Time-constrained consumers don't want to take time to figure products out."
While most businesses will be investing in making sure their brand stands out this year, it is budgets that will determine how businesses use design. One optimistic respondent says: "In certain markets the need to differentiate in order to gain competitive advantage will drive up investment in design."
But many, it seems, will be trying to gain competitive advantage by producing design on a shoestring budget.
What will your design priorities be this year? (all that apply)
Website design or launch 65%
Product design or launch 39%
Service design or launch 38%
Logo design or launch 22%
Packaging design or launch 21%
Key findings
41% of respondents say they manage design within the marketing department. It is evenly managed in-house and externally by briefing out to an agency or consultancy.
40% of respondents say their design budget will be under £50,000 this year. Just 5% say they have between £501,000 and £1m to spend. Only 1% say they have plans to spend over £51m.
71% of respondents think that design is very effective at improving brand perception, while 67% say design is very effective at helping their brand stand out from competitors' products.
8% of respondents say that design is very effective at justifying price increases, whereas 30% believe that design is very effective at increasing
sales volumes.
10% of marketers say design produces a good return on investment, while 42% believe that the return is on a par with other marketing investments.
Andy Knowles, Chairman, JKR
Distinctive design is the foundation on which strong brands are built. The results of this survey demonstrate that marketers really do value what design can do for their brands.
What this study confirms is that design can cut through the clutter of a crowded marketplace, helping a brand to stand out.
Design has an ability to protect pricing in a climate of discounting and almost all respondents in this survey agree that, if businesses can employ effective design, then they can create desire - and consumers will pay a premium for desirable brands.
But design is not just about making things look attractive. Many marketers credit design with improving the overall customer experience.
Increasingly one of the things we are doing as a packaging designer is thinking about the customer journey - from product development right the way through to the selection of the brand by consumers and then the way that product is used at home.
By tracking a brand journey in this way we can start to improve the functional performance of the product, its ability to be seen and chosen on the shelf, its ease of use in the home, and even reduce its impact on the environment.
So the role of design can be about improving the entire experience consumers are having with the brand.
While the figures in this survey are exceptionally high regarding how marketers rate the effectiveness of design, the budgets that businesses say that they are allocating to design this year are remarkably low, which is rather disappointing. There is a real risk that people are under-investing in design. The evidence is that design creates desire and generates good business results, so shouldn't businesses be asking "how much should we be investing in design?", instead of asking "how little can we spend on it?".
We are living in a very multichannel market where marketers are using everything from digital and social media to traditional advertising to sell their wares. What we are seeing at JKR is that businesses are using design as the glue that holds everything together. Marketers should be using design to reach out to consumers at every touch point.
Readers' comments (5)
Missing a "1" on the first chart? (neutral on the instinct vs. customer insight)
Or was this part of the design?
The problem is senior managers and the people signing off payments who have no input in the design deciding for marketers - or procurement people dictating budgets (a sin).
This said, just like with PR and copy writing, people will always have an opinion on design and and think they know (or can do) better. That's when they begin to undervalue design - hence your problem of having all the appreciation in the world, yet not wanting to pay what it takes to get it.
There is also the problem of designers who charge WAY too much for what they do/can do. One bad example can affect buying habits and does the next (good) designer out of some work.
Overinflated rates are the direct result and correlation of, overinflated egos.
Designers and copywriters are chief offenders where this is issue is concerned and EVERYONE knows it.
Just a shame about those bad experiences.
A lousy designer charging top rates won't get much work, while a great designer giving it away cheaply will soon become frustrated by clients undervaluing his/her work. It's not about ego, it's about talent, same as in every other profession.
as a freelancer i look around to see if some company might be hiring a designer. what boggles my tiny mind is that they are "offering" to pay $8 - $15 / hr. Are they expecting illegal immigrants to respond to the ad? I don't get it. When I hand potential clients my schedule of fees, i see the eyes become glassy and their stomach rolling over and over. But, they have a 1,000 page website that looks like Roseanne Barr designed it.
Your first statement was right: We all love (but don't want to pay for) good design.
As product designers, who also regularly get involved in graphics and branding, we are heavily involved in the value good design can bring to business at every level, and we all feel very passionately about it!
Spending a sensible amount on developing a product and its associated branding and marketing can exponentially affect the end saleable item, and there are 1000s of examples we can use to demonstrate this of course!
However, it is always very hard to convince an MD or senior manager, even with so many crystal clear examples, that spending £1000s on design will result in £10,000s in return on investment. As a previous person commented, what we do is creative. On the most basic level, even the most modest Joe Public would like to think at the back of their mind that they are creative in some way, so paying out money for someone else to be creative pains many people.
Tie this in with the current knee-jerk 'budget tightening' for short term gain, and we quickly see that long-term results from design investment are not even getting considered in half the projects we are presented with, compared to 10 years ago.

HOPE VALLEY, RI- It's a somber day for the Burnette family. They were expecting a happy Labor Day weekend, but lightening struck their back yard barn, killing their two horses trapped inside.
"I thought I'd be on time to you know, rescue the animals and it was really pouring and really thundering and lightening," said owner Vicki Burnette.
Around 4:30 Sunday morning, Burnette was awake. It was pouring rain and all she could hear was the storm.
"Was standing in the bathroom and I heard like a pop and so right away I looked out to see if I could see anything and I thought I had seen an orange glow," said Burnette.
Today, inside the charred barn, you could still see a cloud of smoke coming from that hay. Fire officials said smoke inhalation was what ultimately killed those two horses.
With such a large amount of hay, there was little fire officials could do to salvage the barn and save the horses.
The family buried them in a field just beyond the barn.
Burnette adds, "It's not a very good day; can never bring the horsed back and they were nice horses too."
