The board that licenses Texas doctors recently reprimanded a Hereford physician for what it called improper medical care.
The discipline was the latest in Rodney Norman Dotson's years-long history with the Texas Medical board.
Dotson, who practices at the Hereford Community Medical Clinic, has gone before the board seven times, served two five-year stints on probation and violated terms of those probations multiple times.
"If you look at his entire history with the medical board, none of those problems have involved any actual patient harm," said Bob Simpson, general counsel with the Texas Medical Board.
Dotson's attorney, J.E. Sauseda, said problems were found from physicians reviewing patient charts, not patients complaining.
"Of all the medical doctors that have reviewed his records, none of them have opined that he has deviated from the standard of care in any of those cases," Sauseda said.
He said the physicians who review Dotson's records ought to be rural doctors because many issues found were because of practicing medicine in a rural setting.
"I think it's unfair to look through the prism of a major medical complex in Dallas or Houston to examine the reality in a rural setting such as Hereford," Sauseda said.
Dotson, a family practice physician who lives in Canyon, deferred comment to his attorney, Sauseda.
The most recent medical board violation, signed by Dotson on Jan. 18, reveals medical records for 11 patients "did not show adequate diagnostic evaluation of multiple medical complaints and showed a trend toward over treatment," the order from the Texas Medical Board stated.
The order goes on to state Dotson:
Diagnosed 18 pediatric patients with pinworms without lab confirmation. Dotson treated six of these patients, all younger than 2, with Vermox. Vermox isn't within the standard of care for children younger than 2.
Treated 13 patients with oral nystatin, an antifungal drug, when medical records showed no evidence the patient had a fungal infection requiring treatment.
Treated three patients with B-complex vitamins with no evidence in their medical records showing they suffered from B-complex vitamin deficiencies.
The board issued a public reprimand for Dotson and ordered peer physicians to review his patient charts.
History dates 25 years
Dotson's history with the board dates back to 1983 when he practiced in San Angelo. Dotson was issuing thyroid medication for non-traditional medical indications.
In 1991, the physician was placed on five-year probation after a complaint was filed with the medical board. Dotson was ordered to complete a one-year residency in family practice medicine and limit or stop treatment of several procedures, including attention deficit disorder and yeast infections. He also agreed to stop prescribing anabolic steroids.
The board placed Dotson on another five-year probation in 1998 for improperly keeping drug records, flagrantly over treating patients and administering dangerous drugs in an improper manner.
Dotson was found to order Nystatin and Tofranil for members of his family when Dotson had no records for treating his family members. Reviews also found Dotson didn't clearly indicate patient's assessments and treatment plans. His office was also improperly disposing of biohazardous waste, the order stated.
As part of that 1998 probation, a physician periodically reviewed Dotson's patient charts and three times was found to improperly maintain medical records.
Other licenses revoked
In fiscal year 2007, the Texas Medical Board revoked 27 physician licenses.
"We're not timid about revoking a doctor's license when a situation arises," Simpson said.
The board also restricted 147 physicians as part of its 311 disciplinary actions last year.
Simpson said a license is typically revoked when a physician's actions result in repeated patient harm or when the doctor doesn't cooperate with the board.
"Although we've had continued problems with him, he has always been fairly cooperative with the board and has entered into a lot of agreements with the board," he said.
The board usually takes action when a patient or a patient's family complains about a physician's care.
The most recent medical board actions resulted from a review of patient records, not from patient complaints.
"Our experts reviewed those medical records and said he is not running the tests to confirm diagnosis and he's treating the patient without making a through diagnosis," Simpson said. "I think that was the main problem he had in all of those cases."
Sauseda said Dotson is dyslexic and has revamped his record-keeping system.
The medical board agreed that patient safety was not a serious issue with the way Dotson practiced.
"I haven't seen anything in anything Dr. Dotson's done that would result in a medical malpractice case," Simpson said.
January 2008
Publicly reprimanded after the Texas Medical Board found a failure to adequately diagnose patients and showed a trend to over treat.
Violated his December 2004 order which placed a physician to monitor Dotson's patient charts. Ordered to submit to peer review of charts.
December 2004
The board agreed to change the order to show Dotson was in compliance the board's chart monitoring program. Still required Dotson to submit to patient chart review.
October 2002
Found to violate three requirements of the 2001 order. A physician was assigned to review Dotson's charts.
March 2001
Dotson failed to maintain proper patient medical records and placed on another five-year probation.
February 2000
Dotson failed to have his medical records reviewed by a peer as stipulated in the 1998 agreement.
August 1998
The board placed Dotson on a five-year probation for failure to keep proper drug records, flagrant over treating, providing misleading advertising and administering dangerous drugs in an improper manner. Dotson also took 50 hours of continuing medical education.
January 1996
Probation expired and full privileges restored.
January 1994
Request of termination of probation denied by the Texas Medical Board.
January 1993
Request of termination of probation denied by the Texas Medical Board.
January 1991
Dotson neither agreed to nor denied allegations brought against him but agreed to five years probation. Dotson was ordered to complete a one-year residency in family practice medicine, refer all ADD patients to another physician and limit or stop his treatment of several procedures. The complaint wasn't stated in any provided Texas Medical Board records.
December 1983
Dotson signed an stating he would not prescribe thyroid therapy medication for non-therapeutic purposes. He agreed to 50 hours of continuing medical education.

The Bhangra Showdown
The Bhangra Showdown began as a venture, organised by the Imperial College Punjabi Society, with the aim of raising money for charities whilst enjoying the traditions of the vibrant Punjabi culture.
With support from the Punjabi community and university Bhangra teams from across the UK, The Bhangra Showdown has continuously been successful in fulfilling both of these goals: the event has received much media attention as a model for cultural enterprise.
Furthermore they have been able to raise tens of thousands of pounds for charitable causes and, as such, Imperial College Punjabi Society is proud to announce the return of The Bhangra Showdown – this year being held in aid of National Kidney Federation, SOS Children's Villages and Sankara Eye Foundation.

Curiosity should inspire future
Success of Mars mission could attract youths to STEM fields
Late on Aug. 5, as most of us slept, the Mars Science Laboratory reached the Martian surface - safely delivering the rover aptly dubbed Curiosity - after an eight-month journey through deep space. This was a genuine victory made possible by the creativity and ingenuity of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with the support of Congress and U.S. taxpayers.
We should celebrate this tremendous achievement together as a nation.
Personally, I was filled with an incredible sense of pride watching the rover land safely on Mars. I had the privilege of teaching and supervising a number of graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin who now work at NASA, including some of the engineers on the Mars Science Laboratory mission.
One of the individuals in Mission Control was Kathryn Weiss, who graduated from the Marquette University College of Engineering in 2001. In a video released by NASA, you can see Weiss celebrating with her colleagues as the rover successfully lands on Mars.
It's clear how important and promising the accomplishment is for Weiss. She represents the future of a more diverse field of engineers, and her Marquette family couldn't be more proud. These are motivated, brilliant and devoted engineers dedicated to excellence.
During the past decade, the need to increase student interest and performance in the STEM fields - science, technology, engineering and mathematics - has been well-documented and is essential if the United States wants to compete on a global scale.
Many educators on the front lines of engineering in higher education have been reimagining education as a tool to help motivate students and address global challenges such as clean water, safe and efficient transportation, secure and renewable energy and increased access to health care technology for healthy families, among other pressing needs. Despite these efforts, we must continue our work to attract and retain more students to the STEM fields.
Space exploration and the NASA program are investments that help inspire students to study STEM fields. If young people could see the exuberance on the face of Weiss and her colleagues when Curiosity landed, I have no doubt their dreams would be bigger and bolder, and some may even be motivated to follow in Weiss' footsteps.
While the education systems locally and nationally are in a transition and need improvements, it's important to remember that many of the scientists and engineers on this Mars mission were educated in our nation's schools. Nor should it be overlooked that Curiosity and its spacecraft were built here in the United States.
The next time the discussion about the nation's education system or innovative spirit turns overly negative, think about Curiosity exploring the Martian surface. Together as a community and nation, we must foster and encourage an environment where these sorts of bold triumphs are celebrated.
The pride and excitement witnessed on Weiss' face should not be limited to the room of Mission Control. It should be celebrated and used as an example of what this country can accomplish.
By doing so, I have no doubt we can inspire and encourage the next generation of scientists, technicians, engineers and mathematicians, who can push the boundaries of science and discovery even further.
Robert H. Bishop joined Marquette University in 2010 as the Opus Dean of the College of Engineering. He is a specialist in the area of guidance, navigation and control, and his research is sponsored by various divisions of NASA.

Re: What are consumer finance accounts?
Our credit union offers a "FICO" score monthly via only banking services. For the first time, it says:
"You recently opened a new credit account." - I have not.
"You have a consumer finance account on your credit report.
Consumer finance companies typically grant loans to people with poor credit histories. Their customers often cannot get loans from traditional lending companies such as banks or credit unions. These are often high-interest loans because the consumer finance company is assuming more risk by lending to people with less than perfect credit.
The fact that you have a consumer finance company loan on your credit report means that you represent a higher risk to lenders than someone with no consumer finance loans. Even if this consumer finance account is closed, it will still lower your FICO score. However, its impact on your score will lessen as time passes."
I don't have anything new I've opened - I'm confused as to what this is? We have good credit and relatively low rates, what on earth is this? We do have a Home Depot card with no balance on it - could that cause this? We've had the account for ages.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Biological and Chemical Terror History
Chemical and biological warfare isn't new. Even in ancient times, war wasn't all swords and longbows. Some examples:
- 1000 BC. Arsenic smoke used by the Chinese.
- 600 BC. During a siege of the city, Solon of Athens poisoned the drinking water of Kirrha.
- 184 BC: In a sea battle, Hannibal of Carthage hurled clay pots full of vipers onto the decks of enemy ships.
- Dating back to at least the 1100s, there are many examples of hurling the bodies of plague or smallpox victims over city walls.
- 1400s: Leonardo da Vinci proposed an arsenic-based anti-ship weapon.
- 1495: The Spanish offered wine spiked with the blood of leprosy patients to the French near Naples.
- 1650: Polish artillery general Siemenowics fired spheres filled with the saliva of rabid dogs at his enemies.
Lessons learned: Even crude chemical and biological weapons create fear and panic.
U.S. History Before World War I
Biological and chemical warfare is no stranger to American soil. Examples include:
- In 1763, British officers came up with a plan to distribute smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans at Fort Pitt, Pennsylvania.
- During the Civil War, future Kentucky governor Luke Blackburn, MD, sold Union troops clothing contaminated with smallpox and yellow fever.
- Near the end of the Civil War, Grant's army was stalled outside Richmond during the siege of Petersburg, Virginia. There was a plan -- not acted upon -- to attack the Confederate trenches with a cloud of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids.
Lessons learned: Not all bioterror comes from overseas.
World War I
Unrestricted use of chemical agents caused 1 million of the 26 million casualties suffered by all sides in WWI. It started with the French and British use of tear gas, but soon escalated to more toxic poisons. Some deadly landmarks:
- October 1914: German artillery fire 3,000 shells filled with dianisidine chlorosulfate, a lung irritant, at British troops. The shells contained too much TNT and apparently destroyed the chemical.
- In late 1914, German scientist Fritz Haber came up with the idea of creating a cloud of poison gas by using thousands of cylinders filled with chlorine. Deployed in April 1915 during the battle for Ypres, France, the attack might have broken the Allied lines if German troops understood how to follow up the gas attack.
- By 1915, Allied troops made their own chorine gas attacks. It led to a race for more and more toxic chemicals. Germany came up with diphosgene gas; the French tried cyanide gas.
- In July 1917, Germany introduced mustard gas, which burned the skin as well as the lungs.
- Biological warfare was generally less successful. Most of these efforts focused on infecting enemy livestock with anthrax or glanders.
Lessons learned: The horror of chemical weapons left the world reeling. The Geneva Convention made an attempt to severely limit their future use in warfare.

If you dream of seeing your face on the big (or little) screen, then Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts is the place to be. While there are many acting programs out there, no other college or university offers a B.F.A. in Screen Acting designed to prepare you to work as a performer in all recorded media — film, television and new media — as well as on stage.
Offered cooperatively through Dodge College and the Chapman University Department of Theatre, part of the College of Performing Arts, the Screen Acting degree will help you meet the current demands of the motion picture and television industries as well as the evolving opportunities on the Internet and through mobile media, which may use computer-generated digital effects demanding specialized green screen and motion-capture performance techniques. No other acting program can provide you with that kind of range, which, of course, translates to better marketability.
The tightly integrated B.F.A. program provides flexibility, too. You could focus on screen acting, and also appear in a number of plays. Or never be in a play, just a lot of films. And there's nothing like being a part of Dodge College, where you'll collaborate with students who are just as passionate about storytelling, and looking to you to contribute great things to their productions. You'll perform on a real sound stage, on location or even in a virtual world, then watch yourself on a big screen surrounded by an audience of your biggest fans. And unlike most acting programs, when you're finished with us, you'll have a reel of your best work to show the industry you've got what it takes.

|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Kudumbashree National Resource Organisation. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2016.
Kudumbashree is a female-oriented, community-based, poverty reduction project of the Government of India. Kerala is an Indian state lying in the south-west part of the Indian subcontinent, where many development experiments are being tested, refined and implemented. This project is an offshoot of Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana 75% percent of the project is funded by the central government and 25 is funded by the state government.
The mission aims at the empowerment of women, through forming self-help groups and encouraging their entrepreneurial or other wide range of activities. The purpose of the mission is to ensure that the women should no longer remain as passive recipients of public assistance, but active leaders in women-involved development initiatives. Kudumbashree movement was launched on May 17, 1998. The formal function was chaired by the then Local Administration Minister Paloli Mohammed Kutty at Kottakkunnu in Malappuram where Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee performed the formal launching of the program.[1]Kudumbashree means prosperity of the family in Malayalam, the language spoken in Kerala.
Women in Kerala[edit]
Kerala is a state with several achievements in the social development of women and in the balance of gender status has stabilised in many fronts, the details of which are available from the government website on Kerala Women
- Kerala has a high female literacy rate of 86.2%, a low infant mortality rate (IMR) of 13 (against the national average of 80) a favourable sex ratio of 1032 female/1000 male, low maternal mortality rate (MMR) 0.8/1000 and a high life expectancy of 74 female/70 male. However, the absence of women in the public domain remains as a paradox of the Kerala model of development.
- The economic marginalisation of women in the development process has drawn considerable attention during recent years. While the female work participation rate in India increased from 19.7% to 22.7% between 1981 and 1991, in Kerala the ratio declined from 16.6% to 15.9% during the same period. The incidence of unemployment among females in the State is higher than that among males by 5 times in rural areas and 3 times in urban areas. Unemployment in Kerala is severe and is estimated to be 3 times larger than of India.
- The gender-oriented division of labour has resulted in the concentration of women in low paying unorganized sectors such as agricultural labour, cottage and traditional industries and selected service sectors. Despite the powerful trade union movements, equal wages for equal work still remains a mirage and gender discrimination at the work place is widely prevalent.
- The marginalisation of women in the economic process and lack of control over resources have been major impediments in improving the status of women.
- The violence against women and incidence of sexual harassment continue to increase (number of registered crimes increased from 1862 in 1991 to 4937 in 1996).
- Despite the general progressive political environment in the state, active involvement of women in various leadership levels is low.
The mission of Kudumbashree is "to eradicate absolute poverty in ten years through concerted community action under the leadership of local governments, by facilitating organization of the poor for combining self-help with demand-led convergence of available services and resources to tackle the multiple dimensions and manifestations of poverty, holistically".[2]
The specific objectives are:
- Identification of poor families through risk indices-based surveys, with the active participation of the poor and the communities to which they belong.
- Empowering the poor women to improve the productivity and managerial capabilities of the community by organizing them into community-based organizations (CBOs).
- Encouraging thrift and investment through credit by developing CDSs to work as informal bank of the poor.
- Improving incomes of the poor through improved skills and investment for self -employment.
- Ensuring better health and nutrition for all.
- Ensuring BASIC amenities like safe drinking water, sanitary latrines improved shelter and healthy environment.
- Ensuring a minimum of 5 years of primary education for all children, belonging to risk families.
- Enabling the poor to participate in the decentralization process through the Community Development Society (CDS), as it is a subsystem of the local government, under which it works.
To achieve the specific objectives of the mission, several auxiliary objectives are pursued methodically.
Kudumbashree, a female-oriented, community-based, poverty reduction project of Government of Kerala. Kerala is an Indian state lying in the south-west part of Indian subcontinent, where many development experiments are being tested, refined and implemented.
The mission aims at the empowerment of women, through forming self-help groups and encouraging their entrepreneurial or other wide range of activities. The purpose of the mission is to ensure that the women should no longer remain as passive recipients of public assistance, but active leaders in women-involved development initiatives. Kudumbashree movement was launched by former Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee at a function chaired by the then Local Administration Minister Paloli Mohammed Kutty at Kottakkunnu in Malappuram on May 17, 1998. The program has derived from the works of Fr. Edwin John in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, who started the movement called Neighborhood Community Network. An out come of NCN is Neighborhood Children's Parliament has got UN recognition as the best Children's empowerment program.
The following are the community structures suggested for the rural side:
- Kudumbashree Ayalkoottam (NHG)
- Kudumbashree Ward Samithy (ADS)
- Kudumbashree Panchayat Samithy (CDS)
The paradigm shift in the approach is that any woman who is residing in the Grama Panchayat can become a member of the Kudumbashree Ayalkoottam irrespective of whether she is in a below poverty line (BPL) family. Since this aspect gives an opening for the above poverty line (APL) families to enter into the community structures envisaged by Kudumbashree, it is further ensured that majority of the office bearers should belong to BPL families. These structures give added importance to women empowerment both social and economic.
The action plan charted out for Kudumbashree is:
- Formation of women collectives: The poor women from families identified will be organised into Neighbourhood Groups (NHG) representing 15 to 40 families. A five-member team elected from the NHGs will be the cutting edge of the programme. NHGs will be federated democratically into Area Development Societies (ADS) at the Panchayat/Municipality Ward level and then into Community Development Societies (CDS) at the Panchayat/Municipal level. Their organizational structures will provide opportunities for collective public action.
- More information and training: Weekly meetings of NHGs, sharing of experiences, discussions, organised trainings etc., will broaden their outlook on better health, better education, better social and economic status.
- Skill upgrade training: To facilitate economic development, suitable skill upgrades training will be given to women.
- Thrift - credit operations and 24-hour banking system: Enabling women to realize their latent potential, strengthening them through self-help are the main objectives of Kudumbashree. Small savings generated at the families are pooled at various levels as thrift and used to attract credit from banks, which will operate as 24-hour bank for the poor, acting as a sub-system of the formal banks.
- Better living conditions - Infrastructural facilities: The needs identified at NHG level are shaped as micro plans which are integrated into mini plans at Area Development Society (ADS) level and action plan at CDS level. This will be the anti-poverty sub plan of the local body and this will facilitate convergent delivery of Government programmes meant for the poor. Rather than the traditional system of heavily subsidized approach, Kudumbashree promote self-help approach for building houses, latrines, access to drinking water, sanitary facilities etc., availing the minimum support from Government. Common infrastructural facilities in the community strengthens them further.
- Micro-enterprises for sustainable economic development: Providing skill upgrade trainings, self-employment opportunities and infrastructural development through wage employment schemes are the preparing grounds for further development of successful micro enterprises. Kudumbashree is bent on giving necessary resource support and facilitate forward/backward linkages etc., to promote micro-entrepreneurship among poor women.
- Power to the people especially the poor women: The skill for identification of needs, fixing priorities, availing resources, bridging gap between needs and resources in a cost effective manner etc., are taught to the poor women groups in various phases. In the decentralization of power to the local bodies and common man, Kudumbashree can act as a healthy sub-system facilitating participation of poor women in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the programme.
- Leadership - decision making power: Interaction in women collectives will help them to have a better understanding, which will lead to the emergence of leadership. This will help to ensure efficient women leadership to elected governments in future.
- The ultimate goal: Reaching out family through women, and community through family, is the ultimate target of Kudumbashree.
Informal banking system[edit]
The three-tier CDS system, envisaged for poverty alleviation in Kudumbashree approach, will take up the informal banking responsibility also. The poor women should be able to approach the informal banks whenever necessity occurs. The doors of the banks should be open for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. The informal banks are formed with the active involvement of every member belonging to the Self Help Group. An Informal Bank doesn't need an office building, furniture and other paraphernalia we normally relate with a formal bank.
The strength of an informal bank is the intimate relationship between the members of the Self Help Group. The members know each other's potentials weaknesses and problems. The members can deposit even trifle amount in the thrift scheme of the banks. Informal bank always tried to encourage saving habit among poor women. An informal bank can provide collateral free loans with the terms and conditions decided by the group. The Self Help Group behind the informal bank is free to fix market driven rates of interest for advances. Every operation of an informal bank takes place in the group level, including depositing of thrift amounts and sanctioning of thrift loans. The groups itself decides the eligibility of a member to get assistance from the bank after discussions and assessment of the need and repayment capacity.
The very existence of an Informal Bank brings about the homogeneity and affinity among members of the poor. Thrift savings of the members serve as the main bondage among members. The bank promote regularity in savings and assures sufficient frequency for group meetings. The informal banks will instill collective decision-making capability among the poor women. This sublime quality will be of great assistance to them for their fight against poverty and their participation in planning process and economic development activities. Informal banks will slowly do away with the subsidy syndrome prevailing in the lowest stratum of the society. The poor women will begin to enjoy the unique pleasure of doing things with their own money. The financial empowerment of women achieved through thrift and bank accessibility will improve their status in their own families and society. Naturally, their confidence will increase. Above all Informal Banks provide loans to the poor women at their own doorsteps without any hassle.
Once the informal banks of the NHGs, ADSs and CDS reach a certain level of maturity, they can grant loans to the members for genuine needs. Poor need financial assistance for several purposes, falling under four major categories.
Micro-Enterprise development[edit]
Supporting and sustaining micro enterprises has always been a challenge for development administration. Problems of scale, capability, market and vulnerability do not offer easy solutions. In the recent past Kudumbashree has been attempting to analyze and resolve these problems specifically and jointly, both by increasing the interface with the LSG and the entrepreneur regarding existing programmes, and by bringing new strategies and new programmes that help converge resources and address arising issues proactively and creatively.
Milestones at a glance[edit]
In contrast with the previous poverty eradication programmes there are no specific financial and physical targets set for Kudumbashree. Kudumbashree practices a process approach and not a project approach. Milestones of the Mission, at a glance, are as follows:[3]-.

Programme Implementation Team[edit]
The activities of Kudumbashree mission is controlled by a state level office, headed by an IAS officer and at district level a District Mission Team. At the panchayat level a charge officer is given the responsibility of the administration along with the CDS governing committee. The officials are government employees working on deputation with the mission. Besides, part-time consultants and experts are also engaged for specific tasks. The executive directors of Kudumbashree:
- Sri James Vargehes IAS, the first Executive Director and served the organisation from 1997-1998
- Sri T.K. Jose IAS, the main person behind the growth of Kudumbashree. He developed a team of passionate employees to work in the mission and started innovative programs like Ashraya (destitute rehabilitation project), Bhavanashree (microhousing), Vidyashree (IT@School units), Balasabha (forum for children), Clean Kerala Campaign (collection and disposal of solid waste), Clean Destination campaign (maintenance of tourist destinations by Kudumbashree workers) and numerous micro enterprises, ranging from computer to coconut oil production and food items to mini-bus service. One major development was the tie up with the state Department of Social Welfare to supply special nutritional supplements to the children in Anganwadis - under the name -Nutrimix- which has enabled thousands of rural women to manufacture and supply the nutritional supplement to their children all across the state. He was given the India vision Man of the Year award in 2007. Kudumbashree received most of the national and international recognition during his tenure.
- Smt. Sharada Muralidharan IAS, the third Executive Director.

Released: Jul 01st, 1987
Running Time: 85
Director: John Stagliano
Company: VCR
Cast: Erica Boyer, Ginger Lynn, Blondi, Nina Hartley
Critical Rating: A 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Quite frankly, this compilation tape is far more frustrating than stimulating, and there's a simple reason for that. Featuring and endless succession of rear end shots, the action bounces around like a pin ball machine and everything comes off as one big "Tilt."
Featuring a who's who in adult entertainment, there's plenty for just about everybody. Problem is, there isn't enough of anyone in particular and none of the scenes reach a satisfying climax. Dialogue is rare, wet shots are nil and camera shots of faces are seldom. As such, about the only fun the viewer can have is trying to identify the actresses by their asses.
Sexually speaking, there isn't a lot here unless you're absolutely hung up on rim jobs. There's a little lesbian and some oral, but the action always cuts away before things get really interesting. Most of the scenes are just what the title suggests: actresses simply bending over and shaking their Sweet Cheeks for the camera. Shot-on-video, the technical quality is fine. Unfortunately, the sex isn't.

First morning views of the Beckey-Chouinard Route (NW Buttress) of South Howser Tower. That thing is huuuge!
Alec ready to climb the B-C!
Looking south at Pigeon Feathers from the ropeup spot of the route. We descended that glacier in the dark on our approach.
Looking SW at Flattop Peak, Flattop SW1, Crossed Fish and Little Snowpatch from the base of the roped pitches of the Beckey-Chouinard Route.
The first roped pitch of Beckey-Chouinard starts here and goes to the right around the giant boulders. I recommend simul-climbing the first two pitches. (the topo considers the 1,000' scramble to the start as P1).
Sunrise at last illuminating peaks to the SW. Flattop Peak, Flattop SW1, Crossed Fish and Little Snowpatch
Following up P2 on the simul-climb (the topo considers the 1,000' scramble to the start as P1).
Following Alec on the lower simul-climb. I'm probably at about the belay for P2 while Alec is in 5.7 terrain and nearly done with P3.
Beckey-Chouinard Route on South Howser Tower. The 5.9-5.10 roof ascends the first tier, then the Great Dihedral makes up the second tier, and then the route wraps around the backside of the Great White Headwall above. Perspective greatly distorts scale from this view!
Alec leading up flaring 5.7 grooves near the end of P3 as we simul-climbed the lower pitches.
Beckey-Chouinard Route on South Howser Tower. The Great Dihedral (below) and the Great White Headwall above really stand out. Perspective greatly distorts scale from this view!
Alec just past the 5.9-5.10 roof on P4.
Looking down the route from atop P4. Below a guide and client are racing up. They gracefully passed us as we finished the Great Dihedral and reached the big sandy ledge.
Following up P5 (5.8). The rock was still a little gritty and flaring here, but it would soon clean up and turn to splitter jam cracks.
Leading P6, climbing a little 5.7 tier to enter the Great Dihedral. Above I had to do a little face climbing traversing between cracks to reach the corner.
The Great Dihedral. 300 ft of fun and sustained. 5.7-5.8 hand jams. I led nearly the entire thing as one long pitch. Lots of leapfrogging cams! Especially #3 C4s. It reminded me of an easier version of Mithral Dihedral.
Beginning the first real pitch of the Great Dihedral. P7
Never ending corner on the Great Dihedral. P7
Looking down the Great Dihedral from just below the top. P7
Alec following up one of the wider sections of the Great Dihedral. The guide is below him at one of the standard belays - a very nice ledge. P7
I just barely ran out of rope below this final lieback-stemming crux at the top of the Dihedral, so I set up a semi-hanging belay. The guide and client passed us here as Alec followed up to the belay and continued on to the large bivy ledge. P7-P8
Reaching the first and largest of the two large bivy ledges. There is another headwall with 5.8 climbing (P9 & P10) to reach the next ledge. Almost time for a lunch break!
Guide and client atop the first of two short pitches (P9 & P10) that take one from the lower to upper big bivy ledges. The Great White Headwall is above.
Guide atop P10,with the follower about to start the supposed 5.9 wide and squeeze. I really didn't find this pitch that hard, but it was pretty fun!
Lovely cracks on the Great White Headwall.

Beginning the first wide part of P11. This is solid #4 C4 size. Alec liebacked it (easier with the pack). I torqued my feet and armbarred up the crack. Above is a squeeze chimney before it cuts right onto a crack on the face. Make sure to take the #4 with you for higher up!
The second part of P11. Fun wide fists before the easy stepover below the OW.
Guide and follower ascending the 5.10 finger crack variation of P12. I took the OW & chimney to the right, unknowingly linking 2-3 pitches into one long mega-pitch!
Looking down from atop P11. We're getting pretty high! The ridge was first gained just below the horseshoe-shaped bit of snow on the left.
Alec getting ready to follow P11. This pitch was pretty steep and just under 60m.
Interesting glacier cave and ice flow contours.
Looking down after the first OW (P12). It was surprisingly tough! The #4 cam was tipped out a lot of the time.
Looking up the next section (P13)
This OW (P14) was pretty tricky and often too wide for the #4 C4. Fortunately every now and then I could get a nut or C3 in the thin crack on the left, which also occasionally provided some stemming rests.
Looking down from the crux OW (P14) at the little roof and chimney climbed just before.
Looking down from the crux OW (P14) at the little roof and chimney climbed just before. You can see Alec at the start of the pitch.
Looking up P15-P16 This was a nice break from all of the tough wide below! I had unknowingly linked pitches to get here, which saved a lot of time, but left us surprised about the next pitch, which we thought was 5.6 but was really 5.8-5.9!
Leading easy terrain on P15-P16
Reaching the crux on P15-P16 You must ascend a nice hand crack on the left wall into a tight squeeze chimney before a final 5.6 hands and fists corner.

Looking down from atop P15-P16.
The notch you reach at the crux face traverse (to the left behind). I reached this unexpectedly as we had unknowingly linked pitches below, and at first I was worried that we were off route!
Alec traversing out on the crux 5.10 face traverse of P18. You can see the lower-out tat on the piton on the right. This is the only pro for the entire crux traverse. Alec is too high here and found it easier to finish the traverse a little lower.
Alec traversing out on the crux 5.10 face traverse of P18. Alec was too high earlier and found it easier to finish the traverse a little lower here. I found the real crux to be where he is at here, turning the corner.
The pitons that protect the crux traverse or allow one to tension around the arete.
Following up the easy gully after the crux face traverse on P18. This gully is only about cl. 4, so the leader can easily climb high before placing the first piece of pro, to give the follower a better top-rope for the crux traverse.

If so, why do certain members here seem to be tempermental about those posts here that speak to the up-side possibilities for Verisante?
Could there be a potential hyper-sensitivity or could it be that being too conservative with upside projections are holding SP down to some extent?
I respect the hell out of y'all Canadians for many reasons....not the least of which is that you seem to have some very brilliant minds but, hyper conservatism could hamper SP, no?

When British policemen Charlie Pearce and Mike Oddie investigate the unsurprising murder of the village parish Lothario, they question Rosemary Sheffield, the vicar's wife. Rosemary, who has recently "lost" her faith and been accused of immoral behavior with a Yugoslavian refugee, makes a perfect suspect. Another winning combination of plot, character, and wit from Barnard.

I have as well.
it seems crystal clear they need both.
hopefully some kind of deal can be reached after the season, even if we have to tag him to get it done.

I still beieve that if Wallace wants significantly more than he was already offered he won't be staying here. IMO Brown is the more complete better WR in terms of skills but he and Wallace work well together because they do compliment each other to include Brown being the complete team player and Wallace not
to dubs point though, wallace gets into the endzone and that is an area that brown must improve on. And what also makes wallace the more complete receiver, IMO. He catches his fair share of slants and side outs, he isn't just running upfield as fast as he can as some here seem to believe.

Is Sven the man for City?
So, looks like Eriksson is the next Man City manager. Is he the right man to wake the sleeping giants and is Man City the right club for him?
Presumably the money offered to him for player purchases will have been a deciding factor but what will he do to turn things round at Manchester City? Who should he bring on board?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Conn man ,defence was bad enough last year god help city this year,they will score 24 goals max 19th position
The only way you will know that sven is the man for city is in the results and this won't be in 5 minutes it will take time. He will need the money to spend and time to get city where we all want city to be. He can only be judge about what he did with england if he is doing the same at city. So give him a chance and judge him on results. I only hope he gives chances to our younger players and not lose the basis of the club.
Yes he is as cool as

Sven is a quality manager.....no doubt!
He has a CV that most managers would be proud of, yet everyone seemed to dislike him towards the end of his England experience.......
He can turn Man City into a real force if given the resources to do so and if the top players want to come...which they most probably will.
Put it this way.........how many managers would have gone to Germany and master classed a 5-1 victory?
sven is not going to do anything in manchester city.He cannot wake the club up.
Manchester is RED. Who cares if Sven manages City. It'll be another 30 + years without gold! I predict the derby will be won by United for Sven's entire tenure.
no this guarantees the drop for city
no more like the man from the moon where city will be in a league of there own next season
In my opinion tactically and handling big name players he is useless. He will never win anything with Man City, it is a waste of money, taking big cheques and run afterward.
Sven took England to 3 quater-finals. In todays football it's really good. In 1966 there were fewer teams and the quality of the teams was not as good as they are today. Secondly, England play at home. Thirdly they were lucky with the referee. They did not beat Germany. Sven has done it really well with not that many great players. Rating: 4 stars

TEMPLE (August 2, 2014) An early-morning fire Saturday gutted a single story home in Temple.
The fire was reported just before 2 a.m. Saturday at 1313 North 2nd Street.
A second alarm was sounded at 2:20 a.m.
The first crew on the scene reported smoke coming from a window and the eaves of the house.
Firefighters determined no one was inside and began an interior attack, but after heavy fire vented through the roof, the house was evacuated.
The house, which was unoccupied at the time of the fire, was a total loss.
The cause was ruled undetermined.

Release Date:
October 8, 2002
Rating: pg - Profanity, Adult Situations
Teen heartthrob and Home Improvement star Jonathon Taylor-Thomas stars in this @Disney Christmas film that is a teenaged variation on the Planes Trains and Automobiles theme. Jake has missed Christmas in New York with his family these past few years, so as an incentive, his father promises him a 1957 red Porsche if he makes it home by Christmas Eve. No sweat, until an unexpected twist blows up in poor Jake's face. It seems that the "cheat sheet" he supplied the college football team was incorrect, and the whole team is out to get him. For revenge, they leave him in the middle of the California desert in a Santa Claus suit (his hat and white beard are glued to his face) with no wallet, no cash, and no identification. To make matters worse, Eddie, one of the football players and Jake's arch-nemesis, is now hitting on Jake's girlfriend Allie. What's poor old Jake to do? Well, if you guessed hitchhike, freeload, con, fly, crawl, race and bully an array of colorful characters, you guessed correctly. ~ Chris Gore, Rovi
