I named her Martha. by FantomayWatch

Actually I do not draw animals, not that I do not like, just do not want to work in the animal genre. This little beauty I painted in honor of Martha's cats who lived with us in the entrance. At first, I fed her, and then she was gone. I wept. But I will hope that it has got to kind people.

These are foreplay females - as defined by a few of them who believe that handjobs and blowjobs are foreplay. They skip over the oral part and go directly to jacking off their man-of-the-moment. These mobile mamas do some of their wrist action in vehicles (Nina) and keep things scenic.
Erika Kane jerks Rick off with Pikes Peak in the background. The big tease award goes to Vivian Luv. She teases the hell out of Lincoln and strokes him while his cock rubs the outside of her damp pussy.

Andres Iniesta celebrated a decade since he broke into the Barcelona first team. The pair have both risen to the very top and stayed there. Many would argue that they've been the first and second best players in world football in 2012, though Cristiano Ronaldo would mount a strong challenge to that. All three were named in the 23-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or on Monday.
A former team-mate of both cannot say the same. The vast majority of youth players fail to make the professional grade, yet Oleguer Presas did. The 32-year-old Catalan from the same town as Sergio Busquets and the neighbouring town as Xavi played 127 times for Barcelona's first XI. He started in the final of the 2006 Champions League against Arsenal in Paris.
It wasn't his best game and his lack of pace was exposed before he was substituted and Barca improved to win the match, but it showed how highly he was rated. You don't start in a European Cup final without being excellent. Messi, for one, would have loved to have started in that game, so would Xavi and Iniesta.
The Catalan Presas was even made club captain during the pre-season games for the following term, when he signed a contract which would keep him at Camp Nou until 2010. Yet the arrival of Lillian Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta saw him start more on the bench.
In 2006, Oleguer was awarded the President Companys award for promoting Catalan sports at an international level. In the same year he published a book called The Road to Ithaca which covered subjects such as anti-fascism and criticized the Spanish government for their involvement in the Gulf Wars. It likened Barca's 2005 title winners to Catalan fighters in the Spanish Civil War.
Not your normal footballer fare, then. But then Oleguer wasn't your normal footballer, an economics graduate who had missed training to finish his exams.
The politically minded Presas strongly advocated Catalan independence and when Barca won the league in 2006, he wrapped himself in the Catalan independent flag. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind, but his links with Catalanism would sit uneasily with some. He was a frequent participant on Catalan independence marches, when such marches were far from the mainstream activities that they have become this year.
Oleguer became as known for his political views as his football. He was asked by Subcomandante Marcos of the Zapatistas movement in Chiapas, Mexico, to play in a charity match and accepted.
In 2007, he wrote a letter to the Basque language newspaper Berria criticising the Spanish state and defending Inaki de Juana Chaos of the Basque nationalist organisation ETA, who was accused of murdering 25 people by the Spanish government. Oleguer demanded his release from prison for health reasons.
Spaniards were outraged and the article cost him his boot sponsorship and saw him booed in stadiums outside Catalonia and the Basque Country, where he was declared a hero by some. He was criticised not just by the Madrid-based media, but was rebuked for his comments by Barca coach Frank Rijkaard and club president and fellow Catalan Joan Laporta.
It was surprising then, that Oleguer had accepted an invitation to train with the Spain national team, especially as he'd regularly said that he didn't feel Spanish.
Hardline Barca fans loved him for his stance and chanted his name - "U, U, Ulague!" - as fervently as Messi's or Xavi's, yet while the team thrived on the pitch, Oleguer's Barcelona career was beginning to stall through injury and a lack of appearances. He'd punched well above his talent by playing so many games for a top side and he was seen as one of the weaker players in Rijkaard's fading team. There was consequently no place for him when Pep Guardiola took charge in 2008.
Oleguer moved to Ajax on a three-year deal for a fee of 3 million euros. Coach Marco van Basten said: "I am happy that we have acquired Oleguer. His qualities fit exactly with what Ajax needs. We are all convinced of that. He has a good age, experience at a high level and is a real defender."
Van Basten's words made sense, yet while Oleguer played 37 games in his first season for Ajax, the number dwindled to 13 in 2010-11 and just seven in 2010-11. He'd played in a very good side featuring players like Stam, Davids and Hunteleaar, but he became a fringe player without ever doing anything wrong. Ajax didn't renew his contract and he moved back to Catalonia.
He was linked to smaller teams but never played again, before announcing his retirement a year ago, aged just 31. Like Eric Cantona he wasn't injured, unlike Cantona he was short of offers, blaming his political views for his lack of opportunities in football.
Little more was heard of Oleguer until last week, when he announced that he was standing as a candidate for the ultra left-wing CUP party ahead of elections in Barcelona on November 25. It's doubtful that any of his former team-mates will hit the campaign trail with him, not that he will care much for endorsements from what he views as the shallow world of football.
He's a hero to some who share his beliefs - but to others he should have waited and begun his political career after his football one.

Patient Comments: Hip Bursitis - Treatment
What was your hip bursitis treatment?
Comment from: Bev, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: August 20
I am a 33-year-old female and have been dealing with chronic hip pain for a rear and a half. It started after doing the "Insanity" video for the first time. I went to sleep and woke up with my leg stuck turned outward. I couldn't put weight on it or face my leg forward. I was diagnosed with synovitis of the hip and put on pills. As soon as the pills are done I'm back where I started. I have been through three doctors and three rounds of Voltaren pills. I'm still in pain. I used to be a runner and can no longer run, or walk for long periods. I am so frustrated and have gained 30 pounds since.
Comment from: Hollym, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: August 16
I am 43 & have had bursitis in my hip 3 times now. This last time it has lasted for a year so far. I have done physical therapy, steroid shots into the bursa, NSAIDs. I am now using an ointment with CBD that I heard about a marathon runner using. It is alievating the pain & I am hoping it will get rid of this. I am tired of the pain & the xray shows nothing else wrong. It started in the right & after 8 months both were effected.
Comment from: painfree, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: August 02
I am a 41 year old nurse who started experiencing left hip pain last fall. I treated it with anti-inflammatories and would rest it when it flared up. This went on for approximately 10 months. Then I worked several busy shifts in a row and the pain became so bad that I was limping and using warm packs and ice packs along with anti-inflammatories just to try to get through a 12 hour shift. I went to see my doctor who ordered x-rays of the my hip and pelvis. The x-rays were normal. He did a thorough exam, was able to pinpoint the area of pain and I received a cortisone injection. I went back to work that night and iced it every few hours, continued the anti-inflammatories and now, 2 days later, I am pain free. I hope this lasts!
Comment from: Gracey612, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: July 26
Hip bursitis is the worst pain. I sustained a serious blow to my left hip in an accident 3 years ago and it developed from there. I tried pt, even narcotic pain relievers that gave some relief but not enough to stay on them. I had a cortisone injection by guided ultrasound and got relief in 2 days! It was a miracle. Now when the pain flares once in a while I go For acupuncture and the pain gets better in a few hours! If you suffer from this horrible pain try either treatment! By the time my doctor appointment was made I had to do the cortisone but now the acupuncture will nip the horrible pain. I hope this post helps someone. It is such a horrible pain. Good luck to everyone with hip bursitis. Please don't suffer go for the treatment!
Comment from: Erthluvr1, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 30
My father always said, "If it hurts, don't do it." So, I don't! I don't walk for fun anymore, and I've slowed my walking pace. I wear rocker-bottom shoes (Shape-ups, etc.), use the elliptical for cardio, and keep ibuprofen handy, along with something stronger for when I really mess up. I tried swimming, but kept overdoing it and just ended up inflamed. I started to try water walking, but it was too slow for me. I've learned what I can/can't do. I can't go hiking (and I live in Washington), so I have my frustrating moments, but I know what happens if I try things like that and I've just learned to spend my time doing other things. Getting my core muscles stronger also seems to have helped. More support around the joints = less pressure on the joint while walking? I don't know, but it helped.
Comment from: Kailua girl, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 24
For two weeks, I participated in Zumba and strength classes at my gym. Ten days later, I woke up with severe pain around my left IT Band. I discovered that I had left hip bursitis. My Internist prescribed Naproxen 500 mg to be taken every 12 hours; and Tylenol with Codeine three times a day. I had to ice my leg five times a day, for a total of 2 ½ hours. Per my doctor's orders, I could not exercise or do distance walking. Also, I did not sleep on my stomach or left side to alleviate the pain. Additionally, I elevated my leg with couch pillows at night, and consistently throughout the day. At my second internist visit, I shared that healing is a slow process. My internist referred me to an orthopedic surgeon for cortisone shot in my most painful left hip bursa. I took my shot today and feel relieved that the worst is over! After two weeks, if the pain does not subside, I need another shot in another bursa. The orthopedic surgeon said the pain will be gone soon. I am so relieved. I've been worrying about leg pain for five weeks. I wish you all well – good luck.

Level of what? HOw easy to read and understand it is?
HOw can users seee the level?
You see the issues right?
Works great but I'd like to make one suggestion.
I always find it annoying when plugins attach themselves to the root node of the admin menu bar. Although this plugin is useful, I doubt that I will need to access the settings that often. Could you please look to move it to 'Settings' for the next release.
Many thanks for your work.

From Publishers Weekly
Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
"One wouldn't expect a book about original sin to be entertaining, but Jacobs makes it so with deft prose and a touch of humor." (Christian Century)
"Jacobs is a superb writer whose work is beginning to get the wider notice it has long deserved." (Books & Culture ("Top Ten Books of the Year"))
Alan Jacobs presents an engagingly written, eminently humane, and insightful account of an all-important subject that is both timeless and timely. (George Marsden, author of Jonathan Edwards: A Life)
"Alan Jacobs' cultural history of the controversies that Saint Augustine's concept gave birth to is fascinating, entertaining, wonderfully researched, and thoroughly even-tempered, giving even the most disagreeable voices their say. Original Sin may well become the definitive book on the subject." (Ron Hansen , Author of Exiles and A Stay Against Confusion)
I do not believe in original sin. I do believe in Alan Jacobs. He is one the smartest and wittiest writers around on matters involving religion, and ORIGINAL SIN is a gem. (Alan Wolfe, Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life, Boston College)
In this brilliant account, Wheaton College literature professor Jacobs traces the idea of original sin from the Bible to the present day. . . . In his hands these abstruse theological disputes are utterly engrossing. (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"With extraordinary erudition and just enough lightness of touch to leaven the lump, Alan Jacobs traces the tangled ways that we have tried to think about human cussedness. (Frederick Buechner, author of Secrets in the Dark)
Replete with examples drawn from a number of different cultural expressions, including literature, film, and philosophy, [Original Sin] is intended to introduce a broad genearl audience to the complexity of explaining how human beings act evilly toward one another. (Library Journal)
A brilliantly illuminating, deeply thought-provoking intellectual journey. (Booklist)
"A strangely entertaining cultural survey . . . " (The Wall Street Journal)
Jacobs's discussion is terrifically worthwhile for exposing how the idea of "evil," as enunciated iwthin the doctrine, undergoes permutations and translations over time (BN.com)
Splendid...a book endeavoring to help us say and do something about the sin which so easily ensares. Strikingly, Jacobs argues that the 'confraternity' of humanity is best grounded not in our being made in the image of God but in our being made sinful in Adam. Truly a revolutionary thoughtthat the roots of our common humanity might be found, not in our dignity or even our potential, but in our depravity." (Books & Culture)
"A deep pool of wisdom . . . an expression of what's wrong with all of us. Jacobs' prose often sings . . . Careful when you open this book--it could keep you up at nights." (Christianity Today)
"Follows the history of thinking about original sin from Augustine to 'Hellboy' and rewards the curious reader with unique knowledge (of good and evil) on every page." (Beliefnet (Best Religious Book of the Year))
"Jacobs's flowing prose keeps the book moving at a nice pace." (Weekly Standard)

You can literally have your ad showing up in your top targeted searches in a matter of hours so it's easy to see the massive appeal of Adwords advertising!
If you are not advertising in Google Adwords, you may be missing out on customers, profit and the opportunity to grow your business.
Many people never try Pay Per Click marketing or stop after a few months because of the cost. The goal of advertising is often to achieve positive ROI (return on investment). So if you're consistently investing $1000 per month on PPC and only generating $500 in revenue, then I can understand why it would be unattractive to continue. However, many Adwords advertisers don't realize there is optimization that can be done in your Adwords account to reduce the amount you are spending and increase conversions. This is why it is crucial to work with a Google Adwords manager to optimize and maintain your account.
Why You Need a Pay Per Click Professional
In order to attract advertising dollars, Google allows for easy setup of an Adwords advertising account using Adwords Express. So yeah – it would be fairly straightforward for you to create an account yourself and get started.
Here's the important fact many people miss: it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain an efficient and competitive advertising campaign that gets maximum results with minimal spend. Just to give you an idea, here are a just a few of the hundreds of elements within Google Adwords that are critical to know in order to be successful in your advertising:
- CPC (Cost per Click)
- Conversion Optimizer
- Display vs Search Networks
- Ad Rank
- Ad Scheduling
- Adwords Editor Software
- Mobile vs Desktop Targeting
- Impression Share
- Quality Score
- CTR (Click Thru Rate)
- Phrase Match vs Exact Match vs Broad Match targeting
If you can't define or describe all of those Google Adwords terms, don't feel bad! No one expects you to be an expert in something outside your business! BUT – you should find a manager for your Adwords account who does understand these complexities of Adwords. It will increase your chance of success AND save you money in the long run!
This is where I can help! I'm an Adwords Certified Google Partner have managed over $1,000,000 in Pay Per Click advertising since 2008. Now you can take advantage of my experience and allow me to help you advertise your business or products. You can view the inclusion lists below to see the important steps I will take to help you achieve success with your Adwords advertising.
If you work with a large pay per click agency, you'll probably get paired up with an account manager on their payroll that has little motivation to help you succeed. When you work with me, you ACTUALLY work with me personally. I actually LOVE learning about my clients' businesses and goals, and then working with them over the long term to help them grow their business with Adwords.
I've also come up with pricing that is very affordable, but also gives me an ongoing incentive to make you more successful because when your profits grow, I'll make more money!
There are many Pay Per Click management services out there and most of them are very expensive starting at $500/month. My service is tailored to be affordable for small businesses looking to test the search engine market and get some website traffic that will result in prospects and sales. In a market that is favoring online marketing more and more, it is important that your small business be visible online. Pay Per Click marketing with Google Adwords is is a great way to do get your website visible online FAST and not break the budget!
If you have a larger budget and have been doing Google Adwords advertising for a while but looking for someone to manage it without breaking the bank, I'm your guy!
If you are a new Adwords advertiser, you will be eligible to receive $100 credit for Google Adwords advertising after spending $25. Sorry – this is only for new advertisers. If you already have an Adwords account, this does not apply to you. This promotion is subject to changes from Google at any time.
The cost of my Pay Per Click Management service is $295 one-time start-up fee plus a monthly maintenance fee starting at $79 after 60 days. The first 2 months have no monthly fee because I consider it a trial period. I'm gonna do everything I can during those 60 days to make PPC a successful strategy for your business. I'm looking to find 30 small businesses partners who can use Adwords advertising as a long term option to grow and sustain their business.
Many PPC agencies charge a high percentage (10%, 25%) which becomes cost-prohibitive when you want to grow your account. My pricing will allow me to spend more time in your account as it grows, but will DECREASE your total cost percentage as you increase your spend.
For clients that go over a $500 monthly spend, a 5% fee kicks in on the total spend of the account in addition to the $79/month minimum. The table below shows some examples of monthly spends and the total management fees charged by me.

Q: How long does it take to setup a new account?
A: Typically one week
Q: Will I have my own Google Adwords account?
A: Yes, you will have your own Google Adwords account under your ownership. We will link your Adwords account to my Google Adwords My Client Center so I can access and manage your account. You can revoke my access at any time.
Q: Do the ads run all the time?
A: Ads can be set to run 24/7 or scheduled to run only during specific days and/or hours. This will be determined based on your advertising goals. You can also turn advertising on and off seasonally or on a monthly basis. My monthly management fee can be paused and resumed on a monthly basis.
Q: Do I only pay the cost of your manager fee? Are there any other costs?
A: The cost of my service is $295 startup fee plus $79/month after 60 days. You are paying me a monthly fee to manage your Adwords account, In addition to my monthly fee, you will pay for whatever costs you accrue in your Google Adwords account on a monthly basis. You will setup a billing account directly with Google Adwords within your account.
Q: How much will it cost per click?
A: The cost of a single click varies depending on many factors including the keyword, competition, quality of your landing page, and more. Average costs per click I see in my clients' accounts are anywhere from $0.70 to $3.00. One of the goals of optimization is to minimize your average CPC (cost per click) and maximize your total clicks.
Q: Is there a minimum spending limit?
A: No, we can set your budget wherever you'd like, but I recommend starting with a $300 minimum monthly spend. Anything less than that means the daily budget is under $10 and difficult to manage. We can determine your budget on an individual basis.
Q: Are there any guarantees on the amount of traffic?
A: There are no guarantees on the amount of traffic but if you submit the form below, I will give you a traffic estimate based on the Adwords Keyword Planning Tool. If research shows there is not enough traffic available from Google searches, I will let you know and will likely not accept you as a client.
Q: Will you manage my existing Adwords campaigns?
A: Yes, I can take over existing accounts. I'll need to view your account to see how much work will be involved in the initial setup.
I do not accept every prospect who wants to pay to be my client. I'm looking for 30 clients who I believe can be profitable in Adwords advertising. This may depend on your product or service, your website, or other factors. The first step is to submit your interest by filling out the form below. I will prepare a traffic estimate based on your info and get in touch with you.

AbstractWe propose to design, prototype, and validate an advanced maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) based multi-echelon planning and analysis technology (ProPlan21). ProPlan21 will provide technology for rapid definition, creation, and editing of constraint based plans. This will enable advanced constraint-management-based plan analysis and plan execution for Depot management decision support across all production echelons. ProPlan21 will be a point-of-discovery planning environment with interactive plan critique/verification useful by all levels of MRO management for producing optimizing plans, schedules, situation responses, and process designs. Depot decision makers could rapidly specify, evaluate, compare and select the optimal process based on a quantitative analysis of the impact in both scheduled and surge-critical production scenarios. ProPlan21 provides this advanced planning and analysis support by delivering a state of the art intelligent process design repository driven by advanced constraint management and enabling existing MRO analysis tools. The phase I effort will define, design, validate, and prototype the ProPlan21 technology system using information culled from the KC-135 production echelons. The Phase II effort will implement the innovation, within the context of the MRO transformation, across actual OC-ALC depot production echelons and rapidly generalize and commercialize the research results for use in other multi-echelon diagnostic system domains.

The title question was raised by one of the readers of last month's feature story on green crabs (Carcinus maenas). The reader asked, "If the green crab was first seen here [the East Coast of the US] in 1817, is it still considered an invasive species 200 years later? How far back do you go to claim something is invasive vs. native?" Several groups of people have drawn their own lines in the sand, but we wanted to examine current thoughts and perceptions. The following article is based on views expressed in a recent listserve discussion.
The term invasive was used in the green crab article because the crab is on the list of the world's 100 worst invasive species. But it is also commonly used as a synonym of introduced. Which brings us to the importance of terms and definitions.
As one respondent pointed out, there are different interpretations of the term "invasive." Some people define invasive in terms of a species' ecological impact or behavior, while others use it to refer to a species' origin, and sometimes both are part of the definition. If a species' characterization as invasive is based only on its ecological behavior, then it is possible for a species to be both native and invasive. But if the species' origin is part of the definition, then only nonnative species can be invasive. Others add another dimension to the word by making the mode of introduction important. Species can be spread naturally through dispersal and/or through human-mediated transport. Some people use invasive in reference to human-mediated introductions of nonnative species. Unfortunately, when we hear the word "invasive" we rarely know the definition behind it.
But whether something is considered invasive appears to be largely a matter of perception rather than just definition, and there are many contributing factors that muddy the water. Most responses from the discussion fell into three perception categories represented by these questions:
1) Do we benefit from the species, or is it harmful?
2) Is the species part of what we consider the natural landscape?
3) Is the species native?
Maybe our problem is that we view nature in the time frame of a biologist's career-span."

Occasional News and comments on the situation in Post-Saddam Iraq by an Iraqi dentist living in TX
Friday, December 05, 2003
Izzy the lizard
We were hearing news all day about a major operation by US forces in that area against militants. But of course GC member Muwaffaq Al-Rubay'i had to blabber knowingly to the BBC about his 'inside info' that the Izzat was either captured or killed. He was excitedely talking about 'the big fish'. I was almost concluding that they were probably closing on Satan's gay lover himself and my expectations went sky-high, but I was also willing to settle on Izzy just in case.
After a couple hours of pacing nervously in front of the tv it was all bluntly denied by a military spokesman and I went all gloomy. They had succeeded in arresting his private secretary General Saad with a huge stash of US dollars, but it did seem there was enough evidence that Al-Dori had visited the area.
An IP official from Kirkuk said that the raids also resulted in capturing several top figures from the former regime's special security and Mukhabarrat.
Now I was a bit critical of US intelligence reports that Al-Dori is behind financing and coordinating attacks against Americans in the area, and many Iraqis agree with me on this issue. Let's face it, the man's medical condition has deteriorated significantly over the last two years or so. We used to hear that he needed a complete blood transfusion every six months or so to survive (don't know the exact disease), and for anyone with such a debilitating condition it would be too much to be always on the move as he requires continous medical care. However his oldest son Ahmed may have something to do with the attacks as we have been hearing.
Anyway after capturing his own private doctor and private secretary, not to mention his most favoured wife and daughter, I tend to believe that he will surrender sooner or later or that he will be forced to do so to save his life. But it would be ridiculous to assume that if Izzat is detained the 'resistance' will have much to lose. It's the Big Fish who we should be after in the first place.

Construction is a complex business. Equipment can break down; employees can be injured; a project can go awry in unexpected ways. Add a marine element to the work underway, and the pitfalls that a contractor must navigate to manage risk become even more challenging.
Marine contractors have long understood that they need specialized coverage and have sought out ocean marine insurance carriers with the expertise to help them. Each project they bid on, however, can come with a variety of special requirements. As a result, marine builders seek an even higher level of insurance customization than is often required for the rest of the construction industry.
What marine contractors need is an insurance product that draws from both the ocean marine and construction disciplines. By drawing from and blending the expertise and common practices of both ocean marine and construction underwriting, Travelers has produced a Marine Construction product that provides contractors with the coverage they need for many of their specialized exposures, as well as the flexibility they require to meet bid specifications that change from project to project.
Travelers' new Marine Construction Program for Contractors comes with a commitment to serve an industry that needs regular interaction and consultation with agents and underwriters because of its very nature of doing business one contract at a time. By making sure every field underwriter has a common knowledge base, expanded general forms that address ocean marine exposures, and well-developed special coverages ready to go, Travelers has streamlined the process for marine contractors.
Getting the Right Coverage
From an insurance perspective, marine construction often presents more challenges than land-based business. Standard commercial policies often exclude coverage for certain liabilities that pose significant risk to marine contractors. Looking at just a few examples can make it clear why finding the right coverage is a business imperative for any marine contractor, whether they are a well-versed veteran of maritime projects or a neophyte company just breaking into the field to broaden their target market and win new business.
For example, take the marine construction business that wins a contract to widen the pedestrian walkway on a drawbridge. If the project requires the removal of a mechanical part that is taken offsite for repairs, an ocean marine policy would normally provide coverage while the mechanism was in the care, custody and control (CC&C) of the contractor. A typical standard commercial policy, however, specifically excludes CC&C, leaving the contractor on the hook if something happens to the part while it is offsite.
Now move beyond this small example and imagine that a marine construction company has won the bid to build the marina for a new hotel development, with a dock that can accommodate 200 or 300 boats. The following kinds of exposures may come into play:
Meeting Bid Requirements
In addition to facing the types of exposures described above, a marine construction company also shares with other contractors a business model that requires it to be responsive to bid specifications. This makes a marine contractor's needs different from most ocean marine businesses, which may work closely with an agent for a short time and then have a policy set in place that is good until renewal time a year later. Instead, marine contractors may need to interact with their agent frequently, establishing coverage on a bid-by-bid basis to meet the requirements of a project. As a result, marine contractors not only want to look for the right coverage but also find a carrier that can provide responsive contract-by-contract customization service.
For example, a contract may specify that the contractor needs to provide a specific per-project aggregate limit, or provide indemnity for a municipality that is seeking the bids, or carry special coverage because the project is within 50 feet of a railroad. A request for bids may specify that the project owner has arranged for a wrap-up policy, covering all contractors who work on the project. In this case, the contractor may want the project excluded from his normal insurance coverage as a way of lowering his premium. A contractor also may form a joint venture with another company for the duration of the project and need coverage for that entity as a named insured to address potential joint liability for errors and negligence. The same contractor may set up a limited liability company for a single project, then shut down that company when he moves on to the next job. In turn, the contractor may still need coverage for that entity as a named insured in connection with the discontinued operation to deal with any claims that arise after the project is completed.
In the highly competitive construction world, whether land-based or marine, the success of a contracting business lies in the ability to timely meet the specifications spelled out in the bid request document. When it comes to the insurance requirements, the marine contractor has to work with his or her agent and insurance carrier to provide the right coverage.
Finding the Best Fit
Marine contractors need fast and accurate service to submit their bids in a timely manner. That means they need to work with their agent to find a carrier that is familiar with the typical requirements of marine construction and has dedicated underwriters that specialize in this field, with strong experience in both construction and ocean marine. In addition, contractors can benefit from working with a carrier that has skilled underwriters with the authority to make decisions on the many different aspects of coverage that may be required by different project owners. While many coverages may be available on standard forms that have been modified for ocean marine, others may require the underwriter to custom build a package that fits the specific project requirements. With the bid deadline hanging overhead, marine contractors will want a carrier that has streamlined processes so underwriters can operate quickly to arrange the right coverage.
Other aspects that marine contractors will want to put on their wish list include field offices spread across the United States to provide access to local underwriting and claim expertise, and a long track record in the marine construction and land-based construction industries that promises the type of commitment the contractor can rely on. All of these factors – the specialized coverage for marine construction, the flexibility required to meet bid specifications, and the ability to get fast answers from well-versed underwriters – were the key elements that marine contractors told Travelers they were looking for in insurance coverage. The result is Travelers Marine Construction Program for Contractors, a program that has been designed to give marine contractors the products they need, when they need it.

Symposium KK: Dislocation Plasticity
2013 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit
December 1-6, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts
Meeting Chairs:
Charles Black, Elisabetta Comini, Gitti Frey, Kristi Kiick, Loucas Tsakalakos
Dislocation Plasticity
The mechanical behavior of crystalline materials is largely determined by dislocations and their interactions among themselves and with other crystal defects. The complexity of these interactions and the variety of collective effects emerging from them keep dislocation mechanics one of the most active fields of research in the mechanics of materials. Recent progress in experimental characterization, together with improved simulation methods and theoretical advances on various scales, established new fields of research (like small-scale plasticity) and stimulated the reconsideration of open questions in dislocation mechanics, such as dislocation patterning and work hardening. This symposium will bring together a broad range of materials scientists for a technical exchange and a discussion of the challenging issues driving research in this field.
Topics will include (but will not be limited to):
Structure and energy of dislocations
Atomistic simulations of dislocations and dislocation-defect interactions
Dislocation dynamics simulations
Dislocation-interface interactions (e.g., grain boundaries, twin boundaries, free surfaces, etc.)
Dislocation evolution under mechanical deformation
Dislocation-controlled damage and fracture
Experimental characterization of dislocations
Experimental characterization of plasticity
Statistical properties of dislocations
Nonlinear dynamics of dislocations and pattern formation
Continuum modeling of dislocations and plasticity
Novel experimental and theoretical techniques for defect and microstructure characterization

Historic Courthouse Centennial Celebration
Published: Friday, July 15, 2005 at 9:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 15, 2005 at 9:16 p.m.
The Historic Courthouse in downtown Hendersonville has stood as a centerpiece of Main Street for 100 years. To celebrate its centennial, Henderson County residents and guests are invited to a "big" birthday celebration that started on the Fourth of July and will finish up with the lighting of the newly refurbished dome on Dec. 2.
Today, the 100th anniversary of the day the builder turned over the keys of the Historic Courthouse to the County Commissioners, a program will be held on the courthouse lawn. "Evidence of Yesterday" will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and feature music by the Hendersonville Community Band directed by Paul Barber, various speakers, an historic reenactment of the key ceremony and a birthday cake.
Schedule of events
10:30 to 11 a.m. -- Musical selections performed by the Hendersonville Community Band.
11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. -- Opening Remarks, "Evidence of Yesterday," by Tom E. Orr, chairman of the Historic Courthouse Centennial Celebration Committee
Those attending the celebration will be invited to view the restoration plans on exhibit.
Costuming, circa 1905, will be provided by the Supporting Players, Flat Rock Playhouse.
Cakes will be furnished by McFarland's Bakery and Joanne Baber (courthouse replica).
Balloons are furnished by Sherman's Sports.
Horse-drawn covered wagon will be provided by Theron Maybin.
Other weekend events
The Birthday Celebration will continue in the evening with "Music on Main Street," the popular concert series held from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Visitors Information Center, 201 S. Main Street in Downtown Hendersonville. Admission is free. Featured performance by Sound Investment playing oldie rock.
On July 16 four events will continue the theme of "Evidence of Yesterday." Ol' Timey Days at the Curb Market (promoting the Heritage of Henderson County since 1924) will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Curb Market is on the corner of Church Street and Second Avenue. The annual sidewalk art contest will Chalk It Up to History! as part of Centennial Celebration of the Historic Courthouse. The event will be held from 9 a.m. until the next rain shower. For more information, call Barbara Hughes at Narnia Studios 697-6393.
Historic Johnson Farm will be open from 2 to 4 p.m. for visitors to take a walk back in time, 125 years to be exact. The farm is at 3346 Haywood Road. In the evening the Hendersonville Film Society will present "Stars Under the Stars," a program of silent films made a century ago in England, France and the United States. The titles of the films are Rescued by Rover, The Enchanted Sedan Chair, and Life of an American Policeman. The last film of the evening, made in 1925 with many shots from the air, will show the beauty of Hendersonville and Henderson County 80 years ago, and includes all the trees and shiny black cars lining a very straight Main Street. The program will begin at dusk (approximately 8:45 p.m.) Saturday, July 16, on the soccer field behind the Henderson County Public Library. For more information, call Elaine Ciampi 697-7310.

Westchester has many fall traditions. It is famous for them. Like the historic Hudson Valley Jack O'Lantern blaze, and Horseman's Hollow, Westchester Magazine has created its own unique fall tradition: the Westchester Magazine's Dream Home. This year we have the "Penthouse Edition" at none other than the ultimate luxury complex – the Ritz Carlton in downtown White Plains NY.

Another housing bubble or simply supply and demand….
NAR just released its housing report for Q4 2013 and I found some great information from the KCM blog regarding national and regional numbers. If you ever watch talking heads on CNBC or any of the other presumed experts, your head is probably spinning because everyone has a different take and every new report adds to the general chaos of data an numbers. But when I saw the numbers, the picture became a good deal clearer.

Shopping Local – Supporting Your Community….
Ok – if you haven't gotten all your gifts by now, you really are officially a "last minute" shopper! But if you are in that bind – here are a few local merchants that I ran across at a pop-up shop where I was hawking my fine art photos. The shop was a part of Tarrytown's 3rd Friday and was generously hosted by Jenifer Ross of the Watercooler in Tarrytown.
Fotos On The Fly – Sights of the season – SANTA!
My latest and greats on my "Sights Of The Season" series – Previous installments can be accessed through my Holiday Season Archive of this blog which includes photos from Halloween onward.
Some photos are just plain FUN to take. Santa is visiting White Plains on his vintage tractor! After all, getting out all those Reindeer can be a challenge so backup transportation is sometimes in order. And his presence certainly breathes new life into this great vintage tractor!
Love the imagination that went into this!

Fotos On The Fly – Sights of the season – A winter tree in a winter sky…
Sometimes the sights of the season reflect the cold of winter. We are now near the solstice so the trees are all bare and the sun sets early. I took this photo today just as the sun was starting to set. The cloud cover over the horizon was thick and the cause of the darkness. It just looked so dramatic against the bare tree, that I had to shoot it. Yesterday we had a rather large snowstorm, but the temperature increase had melted the snow off the tree tops and all that was left were the bare branches.

This is the 3rd installment of my "Sights Of The Season" series. You can see the first two installments by clicking the links: A cozy corner by the fire and Holiday lights.
This was taken at H Carlson's Florist a couple of weeks ago. They decorate their trees like nobody's business and its truly amazing how their creativity just makes shop so very unique. Whatever the holiday or special occasion, you will always find something different at Carlson's.

Bath Safety Seat
By Kathy
from St. Louis, MO
It was difficult to put together, because the screws were too close to the corners. A friend pointed out that the rubber bottoms would cut through quickly. He also pointed out that because it was metal, it would be slippery.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

"Tiananmen Square and Gu-Gong" Beijing Travelogue by mojo1980
Beijing Travel Guide: 6,601 reviews and 16,752 photos
When you approach this building to enter the forbidden city, there are 7 bridges to cross. In the past, the centre is only for the emperor. The 2 bridges next to it is for the family, and the following 2 is for important officials. The extreme outermost bridges are for the small officials.
The centre bridge is sealed off, reason being every one will want to be emperor.
This is the place where the emperor ruled his country. If you are lucky, you may spot the emperor welcoming you to his home.
The construction of this city is based mainly on Feng Shui.
If you notice carefully when you enter the main grounds, there are no trees around. Reason? Forbidden City is the centre of Beijing, and is represented by earth. If trees (wood element) is grown, it would harm the feng shui of the city, as wood hurts the properties of earth.
A practical explanation though, is that the concrete in the grounds is to prevent assassins from digging their way to the city.
The structure of the city is that the emperor officiates in the front part of the city, whereas the living quarters of the empress and the concubines are at the back.
There are 999 rooms in the city, with 9 sounding like long on chinese.

IRVING, Texas -- Charley Waldrep scored two touchdowns,
including the game winner, as Celina defeated China Spring 21-14
tonight to win a record eighth state football title.
Waldrep's three-yard run with 5:56 to play broke a 14-14 tie to
give the Bobcats (16-0) the Class Three-A Division Two
championship. Celina's second state title in three years was its
first since moving up to the Three-A level.
