The thermal properties of graphene-based materials are theoretically investigated. The fourth-nearest neighbor force constant method for phonon properties is used in conjunction with both the Landauer ballistic and the non-equilibrium Green's function techniques for transport. Ballistic phonon transport is investigated for different structures including graphene, graphene antidot lattices, and graphene nanoribbons. We demonstrate that this particular methodology is suitable for robust and efficient investigation of phonon transport in graphene-based devices. This methodology is especially useful for investigations of thermoelectric and heat transport applications.

Twenty years ago, my brother and I went to Centre Island to watch the Toronto Airshow. In our typical sisterly-brotherly way, I brought healthy snacks and he brought the "junk". When I finally caved in to my sweet tooth and grabbed one of his cookies, I was surprised at how good they were. "Yeah," twenty year old Greg smiled proudly, "and I made them myself."
That cookie recipe has become a fixture in my house. This spring, though, it has been challenged by a healthier version, also given to me by my brother who found it a www.halfbakedharvest.com. These cookies use canola oil instead of butter/margarine and can be crumply. Be warned: they won't last long.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/2 cups oatmeal
2 cups flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup canola oil (I used a bit more so that the batter wasn't quite so dry.)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets with Pam.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients until well-combined. The dough will be crumbly. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Using hands, clump dough together into a balls and place on cookie sheets.
4. Bake 10-12 minutes or until set and golden. Cool about 5 minutes.
Happy Baking!

- "Hey, Maw! Check out the pointy haired little girl!"

- ―Cletus

Cletus Del Roy Spuckler, also known as Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel, is a stereotypical redneck with a good-natured personality. He is thin and is usually portrayed wearing a pair of jeans. He resides with his family on Rural Route 9 in Springfield. He is married to Brandine Spuckler, and it is heavily implied throughout the series that they are also brother and sister, making their children together inbred.
Growing up, Cletus developed a loving relationship with his mother, whom he addresses as 'Maw.' He has always been social and hard working. Cletus isn't bothered by others' opinions of him. He isn't ashamed by his marriage to his apparent relative, Brandine Spuckler.[1] Cletus has several hobbies which include whittling "piney babies" for children, searching for roadkill, digging through garbage, and spending time with everyone in his family except Brandine. He admits his favourite food is fresh skunk and raccoon.[2] Cletus had a "smell-hound" named Geech.
Cletus has seemed to be suffering from some sort of illness caused by drinking mercury out of a thermometer. It badly affected his memory. He whittles what he observes into wood with a penknife. Chief Wiggum was able to track down Bart and Gina after they escaped from the Juvenile Correctional Facility through Cletus' wood carving of them. Cletus also possesses a form of precognitive vision through whittling. He predicted that Chief Wiggum would be mauled by a bear later in that episode.
Cletus and Brandine have a happy relationship, however they are often shown having disagreements. Cletus had an apparent stronger love to a pig, rather than Brandine. At one time, Brandine wielded a shotgun at him for giving the pig "a day of beauty and make-up" instead of herself.[3] Cletus and Brandine were once rejected from coming to Lenny's party after they are both afraid to use the "uppity box" (an elevator).[4]
Cletus works as a fifth generation dirt farmer. He also owns a successful chain of moonshine stills, and was delighted when it was decided that his drink would be used to flavor the latest version of Southern Cracker.[5] He and Brandine operate a vegetable shack near the Kwik-E-Mart.[6] He is currently in the process of opening a family business that sells miscellaneous animal parts. Cletus took advantage of the money his children were making and used it to his own personal satisfaction.[7]
During Trappuccino, Cletus distracts Cargill while the town escapes through a hole in the top of the dome, only to be knocked off by Homer attempting to get into the dome (surprisingly, he was actually able to succeed at distracting him, at least before Homer entered, a fact that Cargill was repulsed and embarrassed of).[8]
Cletus dresses in a sleeveless tattered white shirt and blue pants. He also has a snake tattoo on his arm. Snake has the same tattoo.
Relationships Edit
Cletus has an ongoing relationship with Brandine, who is generally represented as his wife, although the nature of their exact relationship is somewhat vague. It is often implied that the two are siblings. At an auto racing event, Brandine remarks "Dang, Cletus! Why'd you have to park so close to my parents?" to which Cletus responds, "Now honey, they's mah parents too!" however, he may mean that they are his in-laws[9] (This plays into the stereotype that incest is prevalent among hillbillies).
Homer, who was ordained over the Internet as a minister, was once preparing to marry Cletus and Brandine. Looking at a form, he asked "Wait a minute… are you two brother and sister?" Brandine replied, "We's all kindsa thangs [10]." To complicate the issue further, Brandine remarked to Cletus "Yer tha best husband, brother and son I ever did have.[11]."
If all this is correct, it is to be assumed that "Maw" is his stepmother and Brandine is his natural mother, his father being Brandine's father, making him her half-brother and son.
Further confusing matters, one of Cletus' sons creates a hand-drawn family tree. According to this diagram, Brandine is the child of Cletus and an alien.[12] Cletus and Brandine have thirty-nine children, which include a sheep and a walking hot dog.
Cletus has also said to Brandine "of all the cousins I could've married, you was my sister."[13]
ChildrenEditHe seems to be the father of a large number of children, 44 to be exact. When he presents Marge with 300 coupons for free pretzels from her pretzel business, he calls out to his children: Tiffany, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermot, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumer, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Kendall, Kaitlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kyra, Ian, Lauren, Qbert, and Phil. Cletus and Brandine also have a daughter named Condoleezza Marie, who was somehow switched with a bag of sugar that Homer was carrying as part of a parenting exercise, and a daughter named Rubella Scabies, whose middle name was inspired by a word spelled by Lisa in her audition for the annual spelling bee. They have another daughter, Gummy Sue.[14]
When Brandine tests Moe's drink, it is seen she has a card saying "19 children".[15]
Lisa encounters Cletus gathering up roadkill for a hillbilly wedding feast. In the short dialogue that ensues it is implied that Brandine is giving birth to yet another child in the truck's cab.[16]
The children's names seem to mock the pretentiousness that celebrities have in giving their own children "cute", unorthodox, or non-traditional names.
Lisa once tutored seven of the Spuckler children, named Birthday, Crystal Meth, Dubya, Incest, International Harvester, Jitney and Whitney. However, Brandine reveals that Cletus is the father of only two of these children (casting doubt on the paternity of the other children of the Spuckler household).[17] Brandine was once seen to give birth in a car, apparently with very little pain, and asking Cletus to cut the "umbrellical cord". After one of his children, Carl, is accused by Homer of cheating at soccer, Cletus says of his children, "I have sired a dumb-dumb, a mush-head, a whatsit, a dogboy, and something with a human face and fish body what we called Kevin. But my young'uns is not dirty players!"[18]
One of their daughters, Mary Wrestlemania Spuckler, who is supposed to be married to Bart. Cletus mentions that they "name all their kids after what they think is gonna happen to them. Ain't that right, 'Stabbed In Jail'?" to which Stabbed In Jail Spuckler (who is seen sharpening a wooden stick) replies, "We'll see who stabs who."[19]
Last nameEdit
Brandine refers to him as Cletus Del Roy Spuckler, implying that Del Roy is his middle name and Spuckler is his last name.[20] Cletus signs this as his name in surprisingly elegant cursive to Marge's petition to ban sugar from Springfield.[21][22]
Non Canon AppearanceEdit
At age 43, he is the Vice President of the United States. He attends the funeral of the Sultan of Brunei.
Treehouse of Horror XXIV Edit
He was shown for Freaks, No Geeks having Brandine beheaded with him.
In a "Treehouse of Horror" issue of Simpsons Comics, Brandine (off-panel) is attempting to give birth to a child to completely fill out a set of Seven Dwarfs costumes. In Simpsons Comic #113, It is revealed that Homer and Cletus are cousins twice removed, which partly explained their similar dress code of white shirts and blue pants, and their lazy personality.
The Simpsons GameEdit
Cletus appears in the level Invasion of the Yokel-Snatchers as an alien abduction victim who at that time was going to purchase a flat-screen HDTV at the Springfield Mall. He also appears in Mob Rules as one of the people Marge can use to protest the sales of the Grand Theft Scratchy game to minors.
Note: Cletus called the HDTV a "flat-screen magic picture machine"
Behind the LaughterEdit
Cletus was introduced during the fifth season in "Bart Gets an Elephant". He is shown as one of the "slack-jawed yokels" gawking at Bart's elephant Stampy. Cletus' voice is slightly deeper in this initial appearance than in later episodes. He, like the Sea Captain before him, was the go-to character for a quick laugh on the show, and is a staff favorite. He was introduced as a character in "22 Short Films About Springfield". The episode featured bluegrass music played on a banjo accompanied with different taglines stating the abnormal things Cletus has done including eating a skunk and losing a toe.

When I was in graduate school, I thought that I was working as hard as I possibly could in my studies. After all, I stayed at my desk for hours and read an incredible number of pages each day. I thought that if I could do without sleep, then surely my grades would reflect the extra time of study.
I was wrong.
Quite often I simply became exhausted. My lack of sleep hurt my creativity in my thinking. My fatigue often resulted in a lack of engagement.
One thing has not changed. Just as I needed energy for school years ago, today I need energy to do my work. The following are some of the practices that have been helpful to me.

The BL 7.2-inch howitzer Mks I–V and Mk 6, were a series of heavy artillery pieces used by the British Army throughout World War II.
In 1940 the British Army concluded that the only available heavy artillery, the World War I era BL 8-inch howitzer, had insufficient range for the conditions of WWII. As a stopgap the decision was made to re-line the existing barrels to a smaller calibre and develop a new range of ammunition to achieve the desired ranges.
Marks I–IV[edit]
The 8 inch barrels were re-lined to 7.2 inches (180 mm) and the old carriages were retained although the original steel rimmed wheels were replaced with new pneumatic balloon-tyre wheels, as was consistent with the motorisation of the British Army. The new four-charge ammunition provided a useful increase in range to 16,900 yd (15,500 m), although when fired at full charge the recoil was fearsome, causing the weapon to rear violently and jump backwards. To help counter this, two wedge shaped ramps were placed behind the wheels but it remained a risky proposition as the gun would sometimes still jump over them. Marks I–IV differed only in the original 8-inch barrel used and the type of conversion, some barrels and carriages were also supplied from US WWI stocks.
Mark V[edit]
In 1944 several 7.2-inch barrels were placed in the US Carriage M1 used by the 155 mm Long Tom already in use by the British Army, becoming the BL 7.2-inch howitzer Mk V. Few Mk Vs were produced and it was never issued to batteries, as it was apparent that the Carriage M1 was capable of accepting greater recoil forces.
Mark 6[edit]
The BL 7.2-inch howitzer Mk 6 (there was a shift from Roman numerals) retained the Carriage M1 of the Mk V but had a new built 7.2 inch barrel 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) longer than previous marks and a fifth charge was added to the ammunition. The longer barrel and extra charge provided a range increase to 19,667 yd (17,984 m), the new carriage also provided a far more stable platform, greatly increasing accuracy, the Mk 6 finished the war with an enviable reputation.
The original marks performed well, the first 7.2-inch howitzers were issued to batteries from mid-1942 and used in action in North Africa and later following the Normandy landings. In Burma they were provided as a pool of two guns per corps and used by Regiments as required. By the end of 1944, most of the earlier marks had been replaced by the Mk 6.
The usual gun tractor for the 7.2-inch howitzer in the early war years was the Scammell Pioneer, although this was never available in sufficient numbers. From late 1943 the Pioneer was supplemented by the Albion CX22S.[1]
The BL 7.2-inch howitzer formed parts of "Heavy" regiments of Army Group Royal Artillery (AGRA) units, providing heavy fire support for British and Commonwealth troops. The Mk 6 remained in British Army service until the early 1960s.
A modified version of the gun was used as the main armament of the experimental FV4005 Stage II tank,[2] based on the centurion main battle tank, as well as the main armament of the experimental FV215b tank.[2]

Needed a last minute room, stayed just 1 night as we couldn't sleep due to the bar next door and the drunks running through the halls all night yelling. The continental breakfast consisted of Sunny D, coffee, and there was one bagel. It was a roof overhead for the night. Decided to move down the street to the Best Western for our remaining time in Prineville.

In a pioneering venture, Norwood is looking to a younger generation to help shape its future.
Plans for the Young Norwood Consultative Committee were outlined to 40 people aged from early 20s to mid 30s at an invitation-only, central-London reception attended by the charity's professional and lay leadership.
Nestled between a rare Andy Warhol print, glassworks by Dale Chihuly and sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn at London's Halcyon Gallery last Thursday were more than 40 paintings and pieces by some lesser known talents - residents of Norwood's Ravenswood Village and others supported by the charity.
Bright handprints and butterflies, an abstract self-portrait, a colourful image of rockets firing into t

Record numbers of people are approaching welfare organisations for financial help to meet the cost of keeping Pesach.
Around 550 United Synagogue congregants have requested assistance.
We are arranged in a circle, surrounded by pots of coloured paint and plastic stencils, ready to create designs for Purim T-shirts. The place is northern Israel, minutes from the Mediterranean. Ages range from 18 to 25. In the past few days we have been donkey riding in biblical costumes, taken part in adventure activities in the Carmel forest and toured the Mini Israel theme park.
Ed Miliband commended Norwood's "important work" as he helped the charity to raise £14,000 at its third annual YN current affairs reception. The Labour Party leader said the charity "has a well deserved reputation for its vital services which allow thousands of people to achieve their goals".
Norwood service users celebrate Chanucah with pupils at JCoSS.
The government's change of heart over withdrawing the mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance has been welcomed by Norwood, which campaigned vigorously against the move.
Work and Pensions Minister Maria Miller has confirmed that the proposal - which would have affected up to 80,000 disabled people in care homes - will not be included in the upcoming Welfare Reform Bill.

Amazon's Three New Kindles Are More Than Reading Machines
Movies, games, and apps have arrived.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos did the Steve Jobs dance today (about a week after Mark Zuckerberg) to announce the release of the next generation of devices that will change how we read, or at least how we waste time. There will be Angry Birds! That's because, in contrast to the days when Kindles were for "a different audience" than the iPad — "people who want to read" — the new Kindle Fire tablet, revealed today, is a colorful, cheap little computer. It's also less than half of the price of an iPad. Amazon hopes to make up the money by selling movies, music, and apps, but book-lovers fear not.
Amazon also announced a Kindle Touch, which comes in color for $99, and a regular Kindle that at $79 is basically the price of a hardcover novel. (Or a set of encyclopedias; remember those?) And for those who find words boring, let there be streaming:
Possibly the biggest loser today is not Apple, but Netflix. Just as its customers are outraged at higher pricing of Netflix streaming (and furious that the DVD business has been offloaded to a new subsidiary), here's Amazon offering a nifty device with an even better price: $79 a year. ... If Amazon builds up the inventory — and it certainly has the bucks and the clout to do this — it will be the logical place for disaffected Netflixsters to land after storming out of Reed Hastings' house in a huff.
By leaving Apple the fancy hardware (GPS, camera, 3G), and therefore the high-end market, Amazon chooses instead to seriously undercut the Android tablet business, as well as the pricey Nook reader from Barnes and Noble, which saw its stock price drop during the Amazon announcement. The phrase "iPad killer" might be an overstatement, but now the Kindle is at least armed.

- Definitions of social, media, technology, and literacy.
- The interconnections between these terms.
- The history and evolution of social media.
- The empowering of the masses through social media and how to use this to our advantage.
When and What Is Social Media?
The way we conceive of the past of social media influences what we will do with it today.
To see this, we must understand a few basic concepts: social, media, technology, and literacy.
Most think of the origin of social media with Zuckerberg, or before with MySpace, or even email. This thinking fundamentally misinterprets the nature of human-social media.
We take the definition of media as a given - technologically driven with computers and devices. In researching, few people trace the roots back further to the first forms of media: clay, cave walls, papyri. Our ignorance begins with our definition of "social" and "media."
What is the connection between social media and literacy?
Who is to say that the paintings in the Lascaux Caves in France from the Paleolithic Age are not a form of social media? Perhaps they are the best mode to date because the paintings have communicated for the longest period of time.
Media connects to literacy because literacy is the ability of a human to translate written communication (media) into understandable ideas and language.
"from viewing literacy as a simple process of acquiring basic cognitive skills, to using these skills in ways that contribute to socio-economic development, to developing the capacity for social awareness and critical reflection as a basis for personal and social change."
How Does Social Media Evolve?
To be literate, one must be able to participate in and affect a community through some written form. With this literacy comes immense power to influence the past, present, and future through the written word. This is quite different than the ancient way of defining literacy a cognitive ability. Culture is at the core of literacy.
Cultures evolve and change naturally through rules of natural selection explained by Charles Darwin (although he was afraid to apply them to society).Technology drives the evolution of society just as society drives advances in technology - from wedges and cave paintings to sophisticated computer technology.
How Can We Understand the Complexity of Social Media Today, with Its Intricate Power Structures?
Douglass lived the hard life of the plantation in a time when it was illegal to teach slaves to read and write, and the penalty for an attempted escape was either lynching or sliced achilles tendons to prevent future running.
Through a combination of a sometimes-kind mistress and his own ambition, Douglass taught himself how to read and write. When the slave owner cracked down on his wife for teaching a slave to read, he revealed a key secret of the white man's power to Douglass. Slave Master Auld rebuked his wife saying:
"Learning would spoil the best nigger in the world. Now," said he, "if you teach that nigger (speaking of myself) how to read, there would be no keeping him. It would forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master. As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm. It would make him discontented and unhappy." These words sank deep into my heart, stirred up sentiments within that lay slumbering, and called into existence an entirely new train of thought. It was a new and special revelation, explaining dark and mysterious things, with which my youthful understanding had struggled, but struggled in vain. I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty--to wit, the white man's power to enslave the black man."
What Does Douglass Have to Do with Social Media?
Literacy equals power, and therefore social media means power to the masses of the world - providing greater opportunity for social communication, interaction, conflict, and opportunity. Douglass represents the highest use of social media to evolve cultural change, provide freedom, and educate the masses.
Frederick Douglass is a hero and champion of social media, and forgetting this past causes us to lose focus on the importance of mass social media today. Douglass accomplished much with very little, and we must ask ourselves what we are achieving with near magical resources.
What Should You Take Away from This History?
- Understanding the lessons of the history of social media helps you to value and make better use of the tools you have.
- You bear the responsibility to better the world through social media as a leader.
- Literacy and the ability to communicate socially allows cultures to progress and evolve toward greater freedom and equality.
- The mass social media movement is our best opportunity yet as human beings to express ourselves and provoke social change and justice.
- Discover what your important role in social change is and make use of your freedom to bring about a world that is better than our past.
- Teach children the importance of the history of mass social media and the power they possess to become involved and change the world.
What am I missing or what would you add to this? Your ideas are very important to me. Let's discuss social media.

Alleged boy assassin charged with 4 homicides in Mexico
There are 24 comments on the El Paso Times story from Feb 10, 2011, titled Alleged boy assassin charged with 4 homicides in Mexico. In it, El Paso Times reports that:Mexican prosecutors have filed homicide charges against a 14-year-old U.S. citizen who allegedly acted as an assassin for a drug cartel.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at El Paso Times.
#1 Feb 10, 2011
Hopefully they throw the book at him, and they use this little thug as a stepping stone for the rest of the cowards they arrest for doing the same thing.
#2 Feb 10, 2011
Don't let this fool you!!The Mexican Government is afraid of the Adult Citizens of the Drug Cartel, but not of a 14 year old who may have or may not have killed. What a shame.
#3 Feb 10, 2011
The story could be true on the family end of a
forced confession. He could have been the scapegoat
of who the ones he worked for.
Highly doubt it because a 14 year old can take a
life as well as anybody. The thinking process of
anyone under the age of 24 is different as many
psychologists/doctor will tell you. Still you
know what your doing at age 14 and should be
held responsible.

Nice shooting Ponchi!
#6 Feb 10, 2011
Hey wasnt that little thug that was killed by the Border Ptrol also a teen? but everyone said how could a teen be capable of hurting anyone? Well , here you go.
#7 Feb 10, 2011
Yeah, Great Logic! The boy shot by the border patrol agents was also a teen, so therefore he must have also been a killer.
Where did your ancestors come from mr ROSALES???
United States
#8 Feb 10, 2011
The media portrays these p.o.s. as U.S. citizens, but they're not. They are Mexicans in every sense of the word. This little thug and his sister were born in the US and had every opportunity to live a good life. Just like half of El Paso they were anchor babies. Anchor babies may be born in the US, but they will never be Americans. Their loyalty lies with the morally bankrupt and corrupt country of Mexico. Please stop pretending these sorry excuses for human beings are Americans. They are not. Rescind their American citizenship and send them all back.

It's a shame he is only getting charged as a minor.

I guess you been living under a rock. Those teens are not stupid and know when there are doing something wrong. They are all capable.
Play with fire, your going to get burn.
#11 Feb 10, 2011
The shame is going to be when the parents of this American Citizen demand that the US bring him back here so he wont face charges, was he there legally? Or was he there taking a job no one in Mexico wanted? Thing that make you go... WTF!
Cant wait to see reactions now that there is a shoe on the other foot!
United States
#12 Feb 10, 2011
The videos of this kid torturing and beheading his victims out there. The little thug clearly enjoyed himself while his blood-thirsty sisters giggled in the background. He did make the excuse that his sister's lover drugged him with marijuana and that's what made him kill - but marijuana isn't known to lead to that kind of violence.
United States
#13 Feb 10, 2011
The best thing would be for his victims' friends to kill him either while he's in prison or as soon as he's released. It's far too late to save this slimeball. If you have any doubts about that, find the video and watch it - but it will turn your stomach.

My thoughts exactly. They had a lot of fun torturing and killing people (videos all over the internet), but they're just sorry they got caught.

Forced confession? Please! His entire family are full of it. Everyone has seen the videos that have been posted. It's him and a bunch of other idiots torturing and killing men.
The little psycho and his little psycho friends are guilty.
#17 Feb 11, 2011
Maybe,maybe not.But he was however a known drug smuggler within Mexican and U.S. law enforcement and was also caught on camera throwing lethal objects at B.P agents.Those border patrolemen should sue his family for millions.
#18 Feb 11, 2011
Well its Mexico,be thankful he's getting charged at all.If his victims were U.S. citizens,we would be considered "racist natzi's" for us even considering his capure.We dont want to be guilty of "racial profiling",now do we?

Think about his prison life. He'll probably be dead before he is freed.
#20 Feb 11, 2011
He'll be freed once the smoke is clear,dont forget,theMexican government and their cartels are in bed together.It wouldnt be the first time a cartel member wasnt "miraculously" freed long before he was supposed to.Usually its in groups.HHMM,I wonder why?

How to create a feature wall
Why not think about wallpapering a single wall to create a striking design feature? We have a range of wallpaper designs for every style and purpose. Typically, most feature walls use a big, bold print. However for a particularly small rooms you could consider a slightly smaller print to give you a feature wall effect without making the room look smaller. Modern paste-the-wall paper now makes it easier to apply (as it doesn't require a pasting table) and is easier to take off should you fancy a change.

Released: Sep 01st, 2003
Running Time: 95
Director: Eli Cross
Company: Elegant Angel Productions
Cast: Byron Long, Steve Hatcher, Joey Ray, Steve Holmes (I), Ashley Moore, Julie Knight, Steven French, Jasmine Lynn, Elizabeth Del Mar, Holly Hollywood, Flick Shagwell
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Folks who dig sci-fi porn laced with anal and d.p. will rent in droves.
The Visitor is a highly-stylized yet raw sci-fi video about cosmically-possessed girl who wrecks havoc via blowjobs and nasty sex. Through impressive special effects we see an alien mind-meld with hot brunette Flick Shagwell, who then gets fucked out of this world standing up in the back of a convertible. She vaporizes her mate after he spews his load on her belly.
Shagwell cavorts around the city in the buff and flexes her newfound power to make people have sex via a blinding eye-ray. Soon, girls like Elizabeth Del Mar, Holly Hollywood and Jasmine Lynn are on their knees suckin' cock and/or lickin' pussy. Julie Knight even takes on two guys at once via a d.p. man-wich.
Our heroine is captured by Steve Hatcher and Ashley Moore, who are quickly intertwined in a fleshy mess of cock, spit and anal blasting. This time Shagwell herself gets into the mix, making it a heated threesome. Yet the taste of cun ends up vaporizing her. Did her alien powers get transferred over to Moore? We'll just have to wait for the sequel to find out.
A pre-nom for Best Special Effects is deserved.

Carers: looking after yourself
Download a PDF of Carers: looking after yourself
Listen to the audio version of Carers: looking after yourself
Caring for a person with dementia can be both rewarding and challenging. The needs of the person may often come before your own and this can mean that you struggle to manage everything. However, it can be easier to cope if you look after yourself properly. While you might feel that this is not always possible, it is important for both you and the person with dementia. This factsheet looks at why looking after yourself is important, the different types of needs that should be considered and where you can access support.
There are positive aspects of caring, such as learning new skills, building on existing ones, strengthening relationships and supporting someone who is important to you. However, it can also be both physically and mentally exhausting. It affects all aspects of your life and can lead to increased isolation, stress, conflicting emotions and sometimes depression. Carers also have their own physical and mental health needs, which can be overlooked when caring for a person with dementia.
It is important to look after yourself so that you do not become unwell and can continue to support the person you care for. Maintaining good health and emotional wellbeing will also help you in your caring role and in continuing your relationship with the person you care for. The type of support that carers need will vary depending on the individual circumstances. Different carers will also have different expectations of their role as a carer (eg a spouse or a young carer).
Emotional support
One of the most difficult things to overcome when caring for a person with dementia is the range of emotions you experience, such as anger, loneliness and guilt. Carers often say that they feel guilty for thinking about themselves when they are caring for a person with dementia. Being able to address these feelings is important, as they can affect your wellbeing. Many carers find that just talking about their situation with other people helps. This can be especially true if the people you talk to have experience of caring for a person with dementia. You can get different types of support from different places:
- Friends and family can provide a variety of support, both emotional and practical. Being able to talk to them about the situation and how you are feeling may help.
- GPs, counsellors and other professionals can offer support.
- Local support groups are available in many areas and are a great source of support and information. You will be able to talk to people experiencing a similar situation and be able to share ideas, tips and strategies about caring. For details of local support groups, contact Alzheimer's Society or Carers UK (see 'Other useful organisations' at the end of this factsheet).
- Online discussion forums can be a helpful source of support and practical suggestions, or simply a place to let off steam after a difficult day. They are available day and night. You could try Alzheimer's Society's Talking Point at alzheimers.org.uk/talkingpoint, or Carers UK run a number of forums.
Your relationship with the person with dementia may change and this can have an effect on how you feel towards them. It is important to be able to talk about these feelings with someone you trust. You should not be afraid to say how you feel - it is natural to be confused, upset or angry at times. You may find that there are some aspects of caring you can manage easily, while others prove more difficult. Everyone will experience caring in their own way.
Taking a break
It can be difficult to find time for yourself when you are caring for a person with dementia. When you do manage to get time to yourself, you may want to use it to catch up with other tasks such as housework or managing finances. However, it is important to take breaks and continue to do things that you enjoy so that you don't become overwhelmed. This could include having some 'time out' during the day to do a crossword or go for a coffee, having a break (when someone else is looking after the person or they are at a day centre), or going on holiday.
By taking regular breaks you may find yourself better able to support yourself and the person you care for. It can be hard to take a break from caring and you may feel guilty, but all carers deserve a break and you will feel better for it.
You don't have to take long breaks from caring, but a short time to enjoy yourself could make a difference. Try to schedule in something you enjoy every day, whether it is on your own or with the person you care for. By having a break, the person with dementia may also get to experience new things and have a break from their routine. Types of break might include:
- having a cup of tea, reading the paper, listening to music, or going for a walk
- looking at photos together
- going out for a coffee or drink
- meeting a friend or going shopping to get out of the house
- pursuing interests, hobbies and activities that you find enjoyable and give you a change from your caring role; this may help you to feel less isolated as well
- having a short holiday, whether it is a few days or a week.
Coming back to the relationship refreshed will be good for you and the person you care for. You could ask friends or family if they can help out - it may be for a couple of hours or they may be willing to look after the person for a few days. There may be local day services available, or you may be able to arrange for respite care (see factsheet 462, Respite care). If you don't have friends or family who can help, or you are struggling to take a break, talk to your GP or local social services as they may be able to help.
Your health and wellbeing
Caring can have a significant impact on your mental and physical health and wellbeing. Therefore, it is important to look after your health to support you in your caring role.
- Try to eat a well balanced diet, with at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. A healthy diet will be beneficial for the person you care for too.
- Taking regular exercise is good for your health - both physical and mental. You could try going for a walk or taking up an exercise class. Whatever you choose it should be fun and something that you want to do.
- Having hobbies and interests is also good for your mental and physical health.
- Try to get enough sleep. Sleep is very important as it helps the brain and body recover from fatigue. It can be difficult if the person you care for has disturbed nights. You may find it easier to sleep when the person you care for is sleeping, and may be able to take advantage of daytime naps. If you are unable to get enough sleep because of the person you care for, talk to your GP. They may be able to suggest services or techniques that can help.
- If you have a physical disability or a sensory impairment then these will affect your caring role. It is important to make sure you are receiving all the support you are entitled to. Speak to your GP or social services department.
- If you have to help the person move around, be careful of your back. Speak to your GP for advice; they may be able to refer you to a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist. Some local carers' organisations provide training sessions on moving and handling. Contact your local carers organisation, GP or social services to find out what is available in your area.
- See your GP on a regular basis to check up on your health. You may also want to register on the Carers' Register. This is a register of patients who are also carers, which GPs have been asked to keep to help support carers and the people they care for. Speak to your GP for more information or to register.
- If you are struggling to cope and feel depressed, anxious or stressed, talk to your GP. There are options available such as counselling or extra support services, and these problems are easier to manage at an early stage.
Your financial wellbeingYour legal and financial situation may be affected if you are caring for a person with dementia. There are a number of areas to think about.
- If you are planning to give up work, check whether flexible working combined with additional support from the local authority might allow you to remain in work. Carers have a right to request flexible working, and employers have to give a good business reason for refusing the request.
- If you do have to give up work, you may be able to claim a carer's credit so that your pension won't be affected. For more information contact the Carer's Allowance Unit (see 'Other useful organisations' at the end of this factsheet).
- Make sure you and the person you are caring for are receiving all the welfare benefits you are entitled to. Age UK can advise on this, or you can visit an advice centre such as the Citizens Advice Bureau to get a full benefits check. For more information see factsheet 413, Benefits, and 'Other useful organisations' at the end of this factsheet.
- Think about ways to help manage your financial, health and welfare affairs in the future, and talk about it with the person with dementia. This may be through a Lasting Power of Attorney. If the person with dementia receives benefits and is no longer able to manage this income you can apply to be an appointee to manage this for them. (See factsheet 472, Lasting Powers of Attorney and factsheet 467, Financial and legal affairs).
- Check your own position in terms of home and finances if the person you are caring for goes into long-term care or dies (see factsheet 467, Financial and legal affairs).
Getting support
If you are caring for someone with dementia, you may want or need support at some point. Carers who have less social support are more likely to experience stress and depression. You will benefit from different types of help and support, ranging from practical care to give you time off caring, to having someone to talk to about your feelings and concerns. Not every type of support suits every carer and there may be an element of trial and error in finding the right services for you.
Ask what is available in your area. Even if you don't need it at the time it may be useful in the future. You could ask your local Alzheimer's Society, GP, memory clinic or social services department.
Support from local services
Local authorities may provide help for people with dementia and their carers. Both the person with dementia and their carer are entitled to an assessment of their needs, and the carer can be assessed even if the person with dementia chooses not to be.
If you decide to have a carer's assessment, there are some things you can do to help you prepare. Think about your role as a carer, how you are coping, and what support you need. Also consider the difficulties you have now, and those you may experience in the long term if you continue caring at the same level. These may include:
- stress, depression or anxiety
- lack of sleep
- struggling to combine caring with work and/or other commitments
- coping with behaviours that challenge, such as walking about
- making time for the other interests in your life
- fatigue due to long hours spent caring and lack of breaks
- difficulty maintaining relationships with your family and friends
- having no plan for emergencies, such as if you become ill
- practical difficulties such as not being able to drive.
Some of the following may help you cope:
- information tailored to your needs
- day centres
- support groups
- talking to professionals (such as a dementia specialist nurse)
- counselling
- adaptations to the home
- respite care.
There may be a charge for some of these services. Speak to your social services department for details. The memory clinic may have support programmes (such as a support group) in place for family carers, as well as people with dementia.
For more information, see factsheet 418, Community care assessment.
Support from family and friends
Even though you may be coping well now, caring for a person with dementia may gradually become more demanding, both physically and emotionally. You may find involving family and friends helps to give you a break and reduce some of your stress.
- Try to involve other family members. Even if they can't offer day-to-day care, they may be able to look after the person while you have a break, or they might be able to assist in other ways, such as helping with finances.
- Try to accept help from friends or neighbours when they offer it. If you say you can manage without help, they may not think to ask again.
- It may help to suggest ways that people can help. Sometimes people may not offer because they don't know what they can do. You could ask them to stay with the person for an hour, or to go for a walk with them.
- Let people know how valuable their support is.
- It may help to talk to your family and close friends about dementia. Tell them what life is like for you, and for the person you care for. This may help explain what is happening for you and the person with dementia and will help them understand how much you do.
- Listen to others who may be able to share their own advice and discuss their own experiences.
Coping with conflicting demands
As a carer you may find that you are often faced with conflicting demands on your time. This can be difficult to manage and can leave you feeling exhausted - both physically and mentally.
- Recognise your own limits. You are only one person and there is only so much that you can do. Many carers feel torn between responsibilities - especially if they are trying to care for children, look after someone who is unwell, or go to work as well as caring for the person with dementia. As much as you may want to be able to manage everything it is not always possible.
- When you have a lot of conflicting demands it may help to prioritise the things that you must do and the things that are less important.
- Talk to others about what you are going through.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help and support if you need it. Find out whether there are any services available for you or the person with dementia in your local area. Alzheimer's Society's National Dementia Helpline can help you to find services in your area.
Don't be too hard on yourself
At times, caring may feel like a thankless task. The person with dementia may not seem to appreciate your efforts and may think they can do everything themselves. Others may be unaware of how much you do. You may feel guilty about your situation and wonder 'why me?' You may feel that you are not doing as well as you should be because you get angry and upset and often find yourself struggling with being a 'carer'. It might feel like other carers manage better than you do. Try to remember how well you are doing, managing a difficult situation and supporting someone who needs you. Nobody is perfect and there will be a variety of conflicting emotions when you are caring for a person with dementia.
The abilities of the person you care for will change as dementia progresses. It can be very difficult as a carer to see the person you care for struggling with things they used to be able to do. It is important to remember that while the person may not be able to do some things, there will be other things they can do. You may find that the person acts in what you consider strange ways, but these actions will mean something for the person with dementia. This can be very difficult to cope with but it can help to remember that the person with dementia is responding to their situation, not trying to be difficult.
Caring can be hard but there can also be positive experiences. Just because a person has dementia, it doesn't mean there won't still be good times for you to share. It may be these good times that help you manage the difficult side of caring and give you the strength to carry on. When you are experiencing difficult times, you don't have to go through them alone - there is help and support available.

The Jets Get Rid of Darrelle Revis in Order to Continue Their 40-Year Rebuilding Process
With the Knicks and Nets winning their first playoff games and the Yankees and Mets both over .500, it would seem that New York is on the verge of a happiness explosion. But I'm bummed out. The best football player in New York, maybe the best defensive player in the league and perhaps the best second best player in Jets history (after you know who) is gone to the Tampa Bay Bucs, and it just doesn't seem as if we got enough for him.
See More: -How Random Are NFL Drug Tests? -The Jets Should Move Darrelle Revis (to Free Safety)
How good was Darrelle Revis? Well, I saw a stat on ESPN that I'm too depressed to check on the particulars of, but basically it's this: In the 79 games that Revis played since coming to the Jets in 2007, he "defensed" -- broke up or intercepted -- 97 passes, one less than the guy who led the NFL in the category and played in many more games than Revis (who was pretty durable before missing 14 last year with a torn ACL). In other words, from 2007 till now, no defensive back in the league has been as good as Revis at defensing passes.
That's why I'm tired of hearing that Mike Lupica-inspired argument that Revis isn't an "impact" player like Lawrence Taylor. In his own way, Revis has been as much of an impact player as anyone in the league since 2007. And what did the Jets get back for him? The 13th pick in the first round of the NFL draft. That's something, but what do you think the odds are that whoever the Jets get is going to be as good at his position as Revis? I think they're pretty long.

Offering the rationale New York teams use for jettisoning its best players, the Jets argue that they have created room under the cap space, $12 million for the 2014 season. Does that make you feel better? Is that going to make suffering through a 4-12 season this year worthwhile? And if 4-12 sounds pessimistic, consider that you can already pencil in a loss in the opening game on September 8 when the Jets host ... you guessed it, the Buccaneers.
Yes, I know, the Jets are in a rebuilding cycle. They've been in a rebuilding cycle for the last 40-odd years. Every time the master plan breaks down and they have to start from scratch, it's justified by front office people telling us they're in a rebuilding cycle. To paraphrase Clemenceau on Brazil, the Jets are the team of the future. And always will be.

Scarlett Johansson's Changing Looks
1. 1998
