We live in a changing Jewish world. Patterns of Jewish identification and involvement are shifting. Old paradigms are being called into question. Individuals are searching for new ways of connecting to one another and to Jewish life.
A vibrant Jewish future is dependent on rabbis who can:
- Speak a contemporary spiritual language that is both authentic and accessible.
- Teach a Judaism that is relevant to the great challenges facing humanity in this century.

- Academic rigor with a commitment to spiritual growth.
With a robust professional development component that includes including various professional specialization options (see our new Certificate in Spirituality and Social Justice Leadership), our program allows you to shape your program so you can bring your rabbinic vision into reality.

A med school hopeful who has battled with bulimia. An Army soldier with tattoos. A 20-year-old with Tourette syndrome. A vocalist born without her left forearm. These are just a few of the ladies who will take the Miss America stage in Atlantic City on Sunday night to vie for the crown.
This year's 53 contestants will bring more than well-coiffed hair and sunny smiles to the annual beauty pageant, which kicked off in 1921. Several women are sharing their diverse, sometimes challenging, life experiences with the world, and using Miss America as a platform for bringing awareness to causes close to their hearts. Health, in particular, is on many contestant's minds: Their platforms range from cancer advocacy, to HIV/AIDS education, to childhood obesity prevention.
As the contestants finish up the competition's preliminary rounds in Atlantic City and head to the finale, which airs at 9 p.m. on ABC, here are four candidates with particularly inspiring stories to tell.
First to flaunt tattoos
Twenty-two-year-old Theresa Vail is breaking the Miss America mold as the first contestant to make her way down the catwalk with visible tattoos. She says that showing off her tats, which include an inscription of the Serenity Prayer and the military medical insignia, fits in with her platform of "empowering women, overcoming stereotypes and breaking barriers."
"What a hypocrite I would be if I covered the ink. With my platform, how could I tell other women to be fearless and be true to themselves if I can't do the same?" Vail wrote in a blog post on Aug. 22. "Now, had my platform been something entirely different, maybe the tables would be turned. Maybe. But I am who I am, tattoos and all."
But tattoos aren't the only thing that make Vail an atypical contestant. She's also an archery expert and, as a National Guard sergeant, she's the second military servicemember to compete for the crown. In the future, she hopes to become a dentist for the Army.
Born with a birth defect
There's been much buzz about Miss Iowa Nicole Kelly, a 23-year-old born without her left forearm. Kelly has never let her condition prevent her from living a normal, active life: Growing up she played baseball, swam and danced. And while she hopes to use the pageant to advocate for people born with disabilities, she says her birth defect is not the reason she's made it this far.
"The reason I'm here is not because I'm a public interest story," Kelly told The Associated Press on Monday. "I'm here not because I look different but because I have the intelligence, I have the ability and all the things that Miss America needs to have."
Overcame Tourette's
Miss Arizona Jennifer Smestad, a 20-year-old college student at Grand Canyon University, was diagnosed at the age of 10 with Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary movement and speech. According to her Miss Arizona profile, Smestad found a successful treatment for Tourette's five years after she was diagnosed, and now works to educate other children and families about the condition.
"I am beyond blessed to be able to spread awareness and educate others about something that is so personal to me," she wrote on Facebook after visiting an elementary school class on Aug. 24.
Smestad's platform is "Tourette Syndrome Awareness and Advocacy." In the future, she hopes to obtain a master's of science in exercise and wellness and use that degree for a career in media.
Battled with bulimia
Just two days before the pageant, contestant Nina Davuluri was still making headlines. An article published on Friday in the New York Post's Page Six column claimed that shortly after being crowned Miss New York, the 24-year-old was caught on tape calling Mallory Hagan "fat as f---." Davuluri and Miss America representatives denied Page Six's claims.
The first Indian-American to win the Miss New York title, Nina Davuluri recently opened up about her own battle with bulimia during her final semesters of college at the University of Michigan. "I had bad asthma, I gained a lot of weight, and I stepped back and thought: I'm not going to live long unless I change," she told Syracuse.com.
She soon transformed her lifestyle by starting an exercise program and following a healthy diet. Now she wants to attend medical school to become a physician, according to her Miss America profile.
Davuluri will also share her Indian heritage with viewers on Friday: Her talent is "classic Bollywood fusion" and platform is "celebrating diversity through cultural competence."

She won the amateur prize and was then judged agains two other winners: a local "amateur" and a "professional" model. Gorman outshined both women, and took home the Golden Mermaid trophy before returning to high school in D.C.
A year later, she returned to Atlantic City for the contest, at which point she was crowned Miss America after it was decided that her other titles were too awkward. She is the only contestant to receive her crown a year after the win.
Gorman married in her mid-twenties and became a life-long resident of D.C. She passed away in October 1995 at 90.Courtesy of the Miss America Organization

Even in the midst of controversy, Lanphier went on a 16-week dance tour, earning an estimated $50,000. She passed away in 1959 at the age of 53.Courtesy of the Miss America Org

After posing for Pittsburgh sculptor Frank Vittor, she was dismayed to discover that his statue depicted her nude, when she had actually posed for him in a swimsuit. She traveled to Los Angeles to escape the publicity, and embarked on a brief modeling career there. But Leaver eventually moved back to the East Coast to raise her two daughters.

i bought guys am i screeeewed???
Unprofitable today and selling for -- I kid you not -- a 989.5 P/E ratio on forward earnings estimates, Yelp shares are dramatically expensive. So expensive that the term "overpriced" just can't quite describe the disconnect between this stock's price, and its (minimal) value.
My advice: There's no use shouting for help if you own this one. With more than two-thirds of Yelp shares sold short already, no one's coming to rescue you. The only thing to do now is sell, and try to save yourself.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
NO CHANCE. The fact that people keep hyping the possibility of a buyout underscores the fact that the company has no real business now.
FB has something similar. Google has Zagat. Google and Yelp have a long standing feud with each other. All you have to do is Google it. Yelp is supposed to make 3 cents a share in 2013. However Yelp still has over a billion dollars in cash from it's IPO. Yelp has a lot of issues they must deal with. To answer your question are you screwed I don't know. I just know I would not be a buyer here.
Was looking at the chart, now I think someone needs to pay $35 a share at least, not 30, any thouhgts?
OK feud fine, but biz is biz, who ever "zagat's", come on EVERYBODY "YELP's" u know it, i know it, they know it, is my point. DOes $25 a share take the cake? i dunno, but $30 probably, so does google want to GROW or mope over some little quarrel ?
Not fb since it has something similar with its like and dislike ap. Perhaps Google+ maybe interested?
Sentiment: Buy

Frank Pignanelli & LaVarr Webb: A look at the GOP convention from a Utah perspective
Webb: Republicans win the vast majority of Utah races anyway, even without the once-in-a-lifetime, historic occasion of a Mormon running for president. Even in a normal election year, given the electoral math, Democrats need divine intervention to win a statewide race (pray, Scott Howell and Peter Cooke, pray). But the really tough thing for Democrats this year is that the two big races where the party has strong candidates and should have a chance of winning are also seriously endangered with Romney at the top of the ticket. Democrat Ben McAdams will have to run an almost perfect race against Republican Mark Crockett to become Salt Lake County mayor. And Rep. Jim Matheson will need to run the best race of his career to defeat Love in the 4th Congressional District.
What's up with Utah's other favorite son, Jon Huntsman Jr.? Was it shrewd politics or political death to avoid the convention and brag about it?
Pignanelli: The Obama campaign worried about facing Huntsman in a general election — for good reasons. If he was the nominee, the current discussion would be about his huge coattails. Traditional Republicans are grumbling about Huntsman, which reveals he is onto something. Most conservatives under the age of 40 are fiscal hawks but social libertarians. Huntsman is a natural leader of this movement — whether in the GOP or a third-party.
Webb: Huntsman clearly is still watching and waiting for the right political opportunity, but little chance exists for him to emerge in the current Republican Party. Ideologically, he is not on the same planet as current GOP leaders and foot soldiers. For Huntsman to be viable, voters must become a lot more disgusted with both parties than they are today. But if gridlock, hyper-partisanship and rampant political dysfunction continue into the next presidential term, citizens may be ready to turn to a centrist, either a moderate Republican or Democrat, or a third-party candidate.
Republican LaVarr Webb is a political consultant and lobbyist. Previously he was policy deputy to Gov. Mike Leavitt and Deseret News managing editor. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Democrat Frank Pignanelli is a Salt Lake attorney, lobbyist and political adviser. Pignanelli served 10 years in the Utah House of Representatives, six years as minority leader.

When the Tascosa Rebels closed the first half of their District 2-5A season at home against Midland Lee on Tuesday, Tascosa coach Jason Patrick couldn't help but see the glass as half-empty.
That's because Tascosa had a chance to close out the first half of district play with a firm grasp on second place in the district and assert itself as a genuine playoff contender heading into the second half. Instead, the Rebels had their roughest outing of the district season, falling to Lee, 10-5, and drawing a little further back into what will likely be a crowded playoff picture over the next eight games.
It seemed like the perfect opportunity for Tascosa (12-12, 5-3) to make a major statement to close the first half of district and stay within realistic distance of unbeaten district leader Midland High. But Lee (9-13-1, 4-4), starting four freshmen, made a statement about who's going to be involved in the thick of the 2-5A playoff race.
"They just beat us in all phases of the game," Patrick said of Lee. "They beat us hitting the ball, they beat us pitching, beat us defensively and beat us running the bases. We can't be down 10 going into the bottom of the seventh then start to hit the ball."
If there was a silver lining for Tascosa, it was able to avoid a shutout and perhaps make Lee a little nervous by scoring five runs in the bottom of the seventh. But it was far too little, far too late.
Lee made a statement right away by scoring three runs in the top of the first off Tascosa starter Tanner Cordova. John Schawalbach drove home the game's first run with a triple then scored on a double by Austin Maddox.
In the second, Lee leadoff hitter Ray Calhoun hit a solo homer to left field which further proved the visitors meant business. Calhoun was 3-for-4 and drove in two runs, falling a triple short of hitting for the cycle.
"There was no emotion and no life in us," Patrick said. "We maybe figured because (Lee's Rebels) were below us in the district standings that they would lay down after that long trip on the bus."
But Lee's bats were productive, scoring in six of the seven innings, as Cordova exited in the fourth. Just as damaging to Tascosa, the Rebels committed six errors.
For the first six innings, Lee freshman Evan Mata shut out Tascosa. Hud Bilodeau drove in Tascosa's first run with a sacrifice fly and Isaiah Reyna and Raymond Salazar both drove in runs with hits, but it was only enough to cut the final margin in half.
"We've kind of had a roller coaster ride as young as our team is," Lee first-year coach Brian Roper said. "I'm very proud of the way our team played. It's a maturity thing."
While Lee is nudging into the district race, Tascosa is now starting over and needs to regain momentum quickly starting with the 4:30 p.m. Friday game at Abilene High.
"I think a district championship is probably out of the question and we're giong to have to battle to make the playoffs," Patrick said.

Abramovich Sounds Out Guardiola on Chelsea Job: Soccer Roundup
The following is a roundup of soccer stories from U.K. newspapers, with clickable links to the Web.
Guardiola Talks
Roman Abramovich's advisers have opened a dialogue with the representatives of Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola about the possibility of him becoming Chelsea's next manager, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Guardiola remains Abramovich's top choice to succeed Andre Villas-Boas and the billionaire Chelsea owner will continue in his efforts until the Spaniard signs a contract extension or, as he is also considering, takes a sabbatical from soccer at the end of this season, the Telegraph added.
Arsenal Cull
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants to clear out fringe players that cost 23 million pounds ($36.7 million) in wages each year to fund off-season signings, the Daily Mail reported.
Andrey Arshavin, Marouane Chamakh, Nicklas Bendtner and Manuel Almunia are among those who will be put up for sale as the club seeks to fund at least two big-name signings and reward players including Robin van Persie with improved contracts, the Mail added.
Gotze's New Deal
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze, an off-season target for Arsenal, extended his contract with the German Bundesliga leader through 2016, the Sun reported.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are also interested in the 19-year-old, whose previous deal was due to expire in 2014, the Sun added.
Adam's Season Over
Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam will miss the rest of the season after damaging his lateral knee ligament during last week's 3-2 loss at Queens Park Rangers, the Guardian reported.
Adam, who's scored two goals in 35 appearances since his move from Blackpool, won't play again before next season, the newspaper added.
Lucas Targets Return
Adam's midfield teammate Lucas Leiva said he should be ready to return for the start of the 2012-13 campaign as he continues his rehabilitation after rupturing a cruciate knee ligament in December, the Daily Mirror reported.
"My rehab is going well and hopefully I will be fit for next season," the Mirror cited the Brazilian as saying. "It was a bad injury so I need to recover properly to be strong again."

Shidu (literally 10th Crossing) is often referred to as the 'mini River Li" (Guilin and Yangshuo) and is considered to have the most beautiful waterscape in suburban Beijing.
We believe that you too will find that the combination of the calm, winding Juma River and the pretty, green mountains that straddle it justify this reputation.

The mixed results of previous empirical investigations on the relevance of firms' reporting on sustainable development could be due to the absence of a theoretical paradigm able to capture the differences across countries. We apply the varieties of capitalism approach on a sample of European listed banks from 2005 to 2011, to evaluate whether the different institutional contexts affect the value relevance of sustainability reporting in European stock markets. The results show that sustainability reporting is more relevant in coordinated market economies compared with liberal market economies and mixed market economies. The main findings are that systemic and institutional factors influence the impact of sustainability reporting on the firm's market value, and the varieties of capitalism approach provides an important theoretical framework to grasp and highlight differences across European countries on the value relevance of firms' reporting on sustainable development.

From a skeleton, a skull, a mere fragment of burnt thighbone, Dr. William Maples can deduce the age, gender, and ethnicity of a murder victim, the manner in which the person was dispatched, and, ultimately, the identity of the killer.In "Dead Men Do Tell Tales," Dr. Maples revisits his strangest, most interesting, and most horrific investigations, from the baffling cases of conquistador Francisco Pizarro and Vietnam MIAs to the mysterious deaths of President Zachary Taylor and the family of Czar Nicholas II.
About the Author
Until his death in February 1997, Dr. William R. Maples was distinguished service professor and curator-in-charge of the C. A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, Florida. He was president of the American Board of Forensic Anthropology and a fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. A scholarship fund has been established in his honor. After his death, his students painted a large tribute on a memorial wall at the University of Florida, saying simply: "We have stood on the shoulders of a giant."
Michael Browning was East Asia correspondent for Knight-Ridder Newspapers from 1983-1992. He now works for the "Palm Beach Post "and lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Michael Browning was running Melbourne's Hard Rock Cafe when he first encountered a struggling AC/DC in 1974. When he and the band parted ways five years later, they were on the brink of global domination. Prior to that, Michael managed such local stars as Billy Thorpe and Doug Parkinson, and helped set up trailblazing Melbourne club Sebastian's at a time when the British Merseybeat invasion and the rise of local groups were reshaping the Australian musical landscape. He and Michael Gudinski then established Consolidated Rock, Australia's leading booking agency of the day. After a stint in the USA in the early 1980s, Michael returned to Australia, where he launched Deluxe Records, in the process discovering and developing INXS, whom he signed to the label. Further down the line Michael managed Noiseworks, as they rocketed to the top of the Australian charts. Michael and his family live in Sydney. "Dog Eat Dog" is his first book.
Praise For…
"When he's not shattering myths about maggots, Dr. Maples is delightfully unraveling true murder mysteries, ancient and modern. He's not just another clever forensic detective -- he's a poet, a philosopher, and a sly commentator on the fractured human condition, pre-and post-mortem."
-- Carl Hiaasen, author of Strip Tease and Native Tongue
"Whether Maples' subjects are famous or anonymous, it is how he tells their stories that makes this book so fascinating and -- in its fashion -- delightful."
--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World
"William R. Maples and Michael Browning could've written a dry clinical analysis of forensic anthropology; instead they tell tales better than the dead could for themselves."
-- New York Times Book Review

Recently researchers have discovered what grandmothers have suspected all along -- that the ingredients in chicken soup (including the chicken stock, carrot, onion, and celery) might actually have a medicinal effect on the body's immune system, easing the inflammation caused by cold viruses.
"I've enjoyed chicken soup for years," says Neil Schachter, MD, professor of medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and author of The Good Doctor's Guide to Colds and Flu. "The vapor alone clears nasal passages and relieves the throbbing in the sinuses."

text: Posted October 17, 2011 I went over every team's record and schedule and right now I see us going 6-10 and picking 10th overall. There are quite a few teams who should finish worse than us record-wise: Rams, Dolphins, Colts, Vikes, Broncos, Jags, Cardinals, Browns, & Chiefs. Picking at 10 our options will likely range from Kirkpatrick (possibly), Vontaze Burfict, Michael Floyd, Alameda Ta'amu, Morris Claiborn, etc. My personal preference would be to trade down and pick up an extra 2nd rounder. We should be able to considering that there will likely be 4 QB's projected to go in the 1st round and some teams will be looking to trade up for one. If we can trade down, get Zach Brown, Ta'amu, Michael Floyd, Janoris Jenkins, or whoever, and still pick up another 2nd rounder (or even a 3rd rounder) we should jump all over that.

surprised but it works!!
By Ali

About Me Natural Style
Comments about Brighten Up Teeth Whitener - 2.5 g:
I was actually surprised, but the product really works. However, it is really small and it runs out very quickly. The stick breaks easily and it gets kind of messy. Please consider making a product with the same formula but bigger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Jury's still out on this one ...
By The Deal Huntress
from Chapel Hill, NC
About Me Classic Style
I used the product fairly consistently over a period of 3 weeks. But I didn't see any significant change -- at all really. I'm happy for those who have gotten benefit from it, but I'm obviously not among them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This product works!
By Adventure7Girl
from Canada
I use this product after brushing my teeth at night, so it was part of my routine. I have been using it over the last three weeks. I had results after two weeks and that inspired me to keep using it. I confess I don't remember to use it everyday, but I'd say 5 out of 7 days and the results are great. The change has been gradual and I like that I can control how white they will get as I don't want those white teeth that make the teeth look overly white and unnatural. Thank you Paula for creating affordable products that work.

Doesn't hurt, but it doesn't help either
By Cat
from FL
I have been using this multiple times per day for the past week following the instructions, but I have to say that I'm not really noticing any difference in the brightness of my teeth at all. What I like about the product is that it's very portable, easy to use, and it doesn't hurt my teeth or gums even the tiniest bit. The slight foaming wasn't an issue for me. The taste isn't bad either! Not particularly good, but it is a pretty neutral taste. I feel like this product would be better at maintaining already-white teeth rather than as a multiple shade-whitening treatment in itself. Maybe I'll try this again when I eventually get my teeth whitened to help prevent staining, but if you want to whiten your already-yellow teeth I would give this a pass.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was perfect! All of my products arrived on time and in good condition.

Yes, but no, but yes
By Mitzi
from NY
Bizarrely, this works. Not in the longterm, I'm guessing, but as an on-the-spot illusion of whiteness. Like everyone else, I found it hard to put on, and I doubt it will be long before I break the stick of product right off while applying. You also don't want to put this on two seconds before you flash a smile at someone, because it creates a white, gloppy, slobbery smear all over your teeth. But give it a few minutes and you'll have a short window of pearly(ish) whiteness. Plus, it tastes just fine.I'd rather use a product that will have a cumulative whitening effect and isn't so awkward to apply. I wouldn't buy this again, but I'm not sorry to have it in my bag now.

Works well, but ...
By Reverend Alan
from Southwest Missouri
Brighten Up arrived today and I used it right off. Though it didn't give me that "Hollywood" smile, it did take away a few years accumulation of coffee and food stains.I would imagine that with regular use, in addition to a good whitening toothpaste, all the stains should be removed in a relatively short time (weeks as opposed to months).Best product I have found so far.

Lives up to its expectation
By Ain
from Singapore
I was skeptical to get this because of the mixed reviews, but I bought it anyway. Firstly, I can say that it works to brighten up my teeth. I have no high hopes of the product to give whitest of the whitest teeth of all. It took me about 2 days using it, once a day to see results. It certainly brightens up my teeth. I am not an avid coffee drinker, but i still see obvious results.I am not a fan of the application. I think it can be done better ( brush applicator maybe?) I had to use my small paint brush i bought from a craft store and use it to apply, otherwise it will get clumpy when applying directly. I feel that you need a little bit of the product to apply, otherwise it will get messy. A little bit goes a long way and you'll see results.

as described & great for on the go
By Lisa
from VA
Perfect for before that important meeting at work after you drank your coffee. It doesn't replace brushing and it's not a whitening system, so the results are short term. It's great on the go like described. A little more than I'd like to spend for what it is and not a must have product. I enjoy it though!
Brighten Up Rocks!
By michele k.
from Undisclosed
Love, love, love brighten up, it works great!!! The only bad thing that happens to me every time the stick gets closer to the end it always breaks off and then a small piece gets stuck in the tub. I feel like I'm loosing out on more applications.

Not very useful
By Louise C.
Like rubbing a mildly whitening toothpaste on your teeth. Too costly for this effect.

Be the first to ask us a question about this product.
What Makes This Product Unique?
Brighten Up 2-Minute Teeth Whitener is an unbelievably fast, convenient, portable, and refreshing way to whiten your teeth eliminating stains from wine, berries, and coffee almost instantaneously. It is ideal for on-the-go use or travel without the mess and fuss of most teeth whiteners.
The unique, balm-like formula delivers a patented highly effective whitening ingredient that's encapsulated to improve stability and block sensitivity.
It is ideal for quick party touch-ups after eating or drinking.
Can be used to maintain and prolong professional whitening results or on its own to whiten and maintain a beautiful smile.
Who is this product for?
This product is perfect for anyone who wants a whiter smile or wants to quickly eliminate stains from wine, coffee, or berries. It is especially great for anyone who has experienced sensitivity to other whitening products, or who simply wants to save time and money yet still have whiter teeth.
The Journal of Clinical Dentistry, Volume 20, 2009, pages 79–86; Journal of Dentistry, Supplement, May 2009, pages E51-E56; Journal of Dentistry, September 2008, pages 726–730; and Volume 32, Supplement, 2004, pages 13–17 and 47–50; Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry, February 2005, pages 144–148; And The Journal of Clinical Dentistry, Volume 15, Issue 4, 2004, pages 12–17
PEG-32 (solvent), Stearyl Alcohol (conditioning agent), Water, Hydrogen Peroxide (whitening agent), Allyl Methacrylates Crosspolymer (film-forming agent), Polaxamer 407 (surfactant), Flavor (natural mint).
DIRECTIONS: Apply a light coating to your smile zone (the teeth that are visible when you smile) as often as needed. If large clumps appear, use less pressure. It is normal for Brighten Up to foam slightly due to the action of the whitening agent. Excessive foaming indicates you have applied too much.
Do not eat or drink until product dissolves (approximately 2–5 minutes). There is no need to brush or rinse after use; product is safe if swallowed—simply apply and go!
How can I get Brighten Up into the spaces between my teeth?
After you apply a thin layer of Brighten Up to your smile zone, the balm-like texture emulsifies and begins to disappear. This is normal and is how the product gets in between teeth and penetrates into an irregular tooth surface. The manner in which the formula emulsifies allows it to provide even coverage and whitening results
I've never whitened my teeth before. Will Brighten Up work for me?
Yes, provided that your teeth are discolored due to common everyday stains from food and drink. Brighten Up is not meant to remove discolorations resulting from genetic predisposition, disease, or from tobacco use.
How long will one tube of Brighten Up last?
You can expect one tube of Brighten Up 2-Minute Teeth Whitener to be enough for 30 applications to the upper and lower teeth in your smile zone (the teeth you can see when you smile big).
May I brush my teeth after applying Brighten Up?
Yes, if you wait at least 5 minutes so the product has time to work. Ideally, you should apply Brighten Up after brushing and flossing teeth.
I get my teeth whitened by my dentist. Do I need Brighten Up?
Yes! As impressive as professional whitening treatments can be, simply having them done doesn't keep teeth from becoming stained from foods and drinks we consume daily (think coffee, red wine, deep-hued fruits). Brighten Up is an easy way to eliminate surface stains and keep teeth in great shape between professional treatments. Regular use means you can prolong the time between professional whitening services, which will save money and time.

Running Time: 165
Company: BadAss Pictures
Cast: Alicia Rhodes, Desire Moore, Angel Long, Dave Hardman, Mark Wood, Kat (I), Taylor Rain, Ben English, Trent Tesoro, Katja Kassin, Olivia O'Lovely, Benjamin Bratt, Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
These presumably sex crazed vixens get down and dirty in an instant - all of them wearing interesting footwear, nearly always of the thigh high rubber fuck-me boot variety - excellent for those moments when they need to grab two high heels for stability.
Olivia O'Lovely looks lovely straddling Mark Wood's cock, regardless of whether it's in her pussy or in her ass. Alicia Rhodes gets two cocks in her tight ass at the same time, making the sight of her hand there later seem almost tame. Desire Moore slobbers on cock before licking ass in preparation of having her own fucked.
Angel Long isn't the last to wear a collar, but she is the only one to growl effectively. Taylor Rain is loud and sincere, and Katja and Ben English put an interesting twist on a familiar porn position.

All of my images that I've previously uploaded (wp-content/uploads/2012...) and any new images I try to upload and put into a post/page, they do not display, i just get a little broken page icon. When i try to follow the link path to the image directly, i get a 404 page not found error. For example http://www.hjs-productions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ticket.png
However, i know these files are still in their correct folders by going through my FTP and confirming they're there. My theme is up to date, as is my wordpress. This has only been happening for a day or two.
What's going on and how do i fix it?

The weather didn't stop people in Zanesville from attending the first Downtown Farmer's Market of the year Wednesday.
In the rain vendors lined the parking lot of the Welcome Center with tables full of fresh vegetables, fruits and plants. Siegrist Orchard owner Mike Siegrist says farmer's markets are vital for farmers.
"They're very important. It gives us a connection with the consumer, to see what we have, because a lot of them don't want to come out to the farm anymore and they come to a farmer's market and everything's centrally located and they have a variety to pick from," says Siegrist.
Each week Siegrist will be bringing items currently in season to the market. This week there was a variety.
"We have our own sour and sweet cherries. We have some strawberries, we have peaches, tomatoes, apples and some watermelons and our plants," he says.
The Downtown Farmer's Market will continue on Wednesday's from 4 to 6:30 p.m. until the middle of October.

I'm sharing an invitation I've just received...
On 24 October, 2007, two LiveMeeting sessions will be held to review plans for Microsoft Systems Center Certifications, specifically certifications for Systems Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) and Systems Center Operations Manager 2007 (SCOM). The details on these LiveMeeting sessions are as follows:
From the blog listed in the invitation I received, initial plans indicate that two Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certs and a professional-series (MCITP) certification for Systems Center are in development. Estimated availability for these new certs would be during the first quarter of calendar year 2008.
I plan to suggest (to these cert development folks) a review of content at the SCCM-DCF website for exam fodder, including a recent webcast from the SCCM product development team about Desired Confirmation Management (SCCM-DCM) and Configuration Baselines in SCCM 2007: http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/configmgr/evaluation/configmgmt.mspx

Children's LiteratureBy and large, far more attention has been paid to studying the course of events that took place in the eastern theater of Civil War operations than in any other sector. Battles such as Antietam and Gettysburg stand at the apex of scholarship and have been given a broad range of literary attention. Yet, if you look at the facts in an unbiased manner, the events that unfolded in the western theater of operations had at least as much of an effect upon the final results of America's Civil War. In this volume in the World Almanac Library of the Civil War series, readers are given a look into how the war was fought in what was then called the West. There, at places like Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Stone's River and Vicksburg, the outcome of the Civil War largely unfolded. The western theater also featured some of the leading lights of the Civil War. It was in the West that Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan came to the forefront of national repute. In the end, western armies traveled contributed greatly to the war's ultimate outcome. The men and women who crafted that history are ably served via this illustrated book. This is a book that will appeal to youngsters who have even the slightest interest in this critical period in American history. 2004, World Almanac Library, Ages 10 up.

The Virginia School Board Association's Southern Region held its annual meeting at Jefferson Forest High School (JFHS) Thursday night.
Bedford County now has a budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year.
The budget, which calls for $94 million in general fund expenditures, passed on a 4-3 vote with District 1 Supervisor Bill Thomasson, District 4 Supervisor John Sharp, District 5 Supervisor Tommy Scott and Board Chairman Steve Wilkerson voting in favor. District 2 Supervisor Curry Martin, District 6 Supervisor Andy Dooley and District 7 Supervisor Kevin Willis cast the dissenting votes.
The old Bedford public works facility on Grove Street is now back on the tax rolls.
The public works department had long ago moved out of the facility to new quarters when Bryan Schley purchased it last September. He opened Liberty Landscape Supply there on March 21.

The Jefferson Forest boys lacrosse team defeated Hargrave Military Institute 18-7 this past Friday, April 22.
"They responded as I expected they would. High intensity and ready for play. They knew how important this week was in defining their season and they thrived at the challenge," said JF coach Jesse Bickel.
Jefferson Forest took advantage of some costly errors by Liberty in the second and third to seal a 13-3 boys baseball victory on Wednesday, April 20.
"This was another good Seminole District win for our program. Liberty has been playing well these last couple of weeks and we knew we had to play well to win," said JF Coach Ryan Gilleland.
Jefferson Forest girls tennis shut out Rustburg 9-0 on Thursday, April 21. "We had a pretty good week. The girls really played well against both teams and are looking good. If they can stay focused and confident, they can finish the season pretty strong," said Coach Brady Taylor.
The Liberty softball team put up runs in every inning to defeat Jefferson Forest 15-5 on Wednesday, April 20.
Forest led before the Lady Minutemen tightened up and held the Lady Cavs without a run the rest of the way. "Liberty hit really well and Casey did a good job of scattering hits," said JF Coach Gary Harris.

The Missouri University of Science and Technology Chamber and University choirs, directed by Lorie Francis, a lecturer in arts, languages and philosophy, along with the Rolla Choral Arts Society, the Rolla High School choirs and the 399th Army Band from Fort Leonard Wood for two free performances of "Carmina Burana" Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27.
The first performance will be held at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 26. The second performance will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 27. Both performances will be held in Leach Theatre of Castleman Hall, located at 10th and Main streets in Rolla.
Jeff Sandquist, music teacher at RHS, will conduct the ensemble of more than 200 musicians.
The ensemble will perform Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana," a cantata based on 24 poems from the medieval collection of the same name.
"Carmina Burana," Latin for "Songs from Beuern," is a manuscript of 254 mostly satirical medieval poems. The collection was the inspiration for Orff's 1935 composition.
Melissa Baughman, a Ph.D. candidate in music education at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU), and MU alumni Darrell Jordan and Nathan Ward will perform vocal solos.
The performance is free, but tickets are required for admission. Tickets are available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday in the Leach Theatre box office located in the vestibule of the main entrance of Castleman Hall, facing 10th Street.
Tickets are also available at Kent Jewelry, 907 N. Pine St. in Rolla.
The Rolla Choral Arts Society is supported in part by Phelps County Bank, The Public House Brewing Co. and the Missouri Arts Council.
For more information, contact Sandquist at email@example.com or call the Missouri S&T performing arts office at 573-341-4185.

Utilizing the multiple degrees of freedom offered by the data glove for each finger and the hand, a novel online signature verification system using the singular value decomposition (SVD) numerical tool for signature classification and verification is presented. The proposed technique is based on the Singular value decomposition in finding r singular vectors sensing the maximal energy of glove data matrix A, called principal subspace, so the effective dimensionality of A can be reduced. Having modeled the data glove signature through its r-principal subspace, signature authentication is performed by finding the angles between the different subspaces. A demonstration of the data glove is presented as an effective high- bandwidth data entry device for signature verification. This SVD-based signature verification technique is tested and its performance is shown to be able to produce equal error rate (EER) of less than 2.37 percent.

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project aims to develop a yeast-based platform for the generation of novel sesquiterpene compounds, as well as commercially unavailable sesquiterpene scaffolds. The technique combines metabolic, protein and biochemical approaches to produce defined sesquiterpene scaffolds, which are in turn, used to produce libraries of interesting compounds using combinatorial chemistry. The generated compounds are commercially valuable to the fragrance industry, but could also be screened for medically relevant properties. The mevalonate and non-mevalonate pathways are currently the only ones known to be used for the synthesis of isopentenyl pyrophosphate, one of the precursors to isoprenoids (terpenes), the most structurally diverse class of biological compounds. These precursors are converted to the terpenes through a series of enzymatic reactions. The proposed technology aims to leverage the understanding of the biochemistry and enzymology of the terpenes to develop a process that enables the production of thousands of new sesqueterpenes with interesting properties and great commercial value.

These hardcore lesbians may be lucky to have found each other, but luck has nothing to do with how nasty they get. Watch as these hotties put on an entertaining fuck fest right before your very eyes. There won't be a toy too large nor a pussy too tight that'll stop them from having one outrageous time in this full blown, digitally mastered DVD.
Lucky Lesbians 4 features five scenes of girl-on-girl hardcore. Some of the scenes have vignette-style set-ups. In other scenes, the girls simply get into it from the first frame.
