light spotting......im a first timer and a little nervous
You can call your doc if it is concerning you, but most likely, they will tell you to watch it. If it gets heavier (soaking 1 pad or more an hour), the cramps get worse, or you pass clots, head to the ER.

Brown typically means old blood. There are a few *common* causes of this. They tell you to watch for bright red blood... and typically more than spotting is when it can be problematic. You can always call your doctor and ask to come in a few days earlier - they will always see you if you are bleeding at all just to make sure everything is healthy and normal.
I went to my dr during that time and saw the babies heart beat , so spotting doesn't always mean something bad. :)
I was spotting too before, and did again yesterday after a BM. I did last week after I vomited...something about straining I guess. I'm now eight weeks. I asked my dr. about it when I went last week and she said that spotting could mean an impending miscarriage, but that most people that spot are fine. She also said cramping at this time is normal and if the spotting was going to lead to a miscarriage, cramping would feel closer to labor pains as your body would be trying to get rid of the pregnancy. Still, if you want any reassurance, I would call the doctor. My doctor didn't seem worried, but said if I had any concerns or started freaking out, to call her.

What's normal for one woman may not be for another, and vice versa. Even though the color and lightness of my spotting was "normal" I felt like something was wrong. It is my hope that all will be ok for you. xoxoxo

AbstractWhile the advantages of the Global Information Grid (GIG) cannot be overstated, the challenge of maintaining security policies effectively is a daunting task. This huge network incorporates a diverse array of components and is designed to be highly dynamic and mobile. Asserting control over the GIG is critical to operational success yet is often too cumbersome via traditional means. Although systems exist for managing security policy on enterprise-scale networks, they tend to assume relatively static network configurations in which updates are deployed largely manually. Along with being lengthy, labor-intensive operations, such reconfigurations can misinterpret or overlook governing security policies and controls, leaving portions of the network vulnerable to attack. We propose the Security Policy Enforcement and Compliance System (SPECS), a framework for managing security policy on super-sized, diverse and dynamic networks. SPECS automates policy management by encoding policies in an ontology to facilitate automated enforcement given operational requirements. By linking policies to the controls that enforce them, SPECS can rapidly deploy existing policies into new or changing operational environments, and it can update existing environments in response to changes in the policies themselves. This end-to-end modeling also enables SPECS to quickly assess compliance for assured levels of network security.

Larry the Cable Guy has a new take on the classic story of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"... watch!
Now, this is what the Christmas season is all about.
Ever wondered what Christmas is like with country power couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton?
It was a very Merry Christmas for Craig Morgan's wife Karen a few years back. The 'Wake Up Lovin' You' singer gave his No. 1 girl what he considers to be the best Christmas gift he's ever given!
Pets won't just be feasting on scraps of food fallen off the table this Christmas. Freshpet has created a new viral video featuring 13 dogs and one cat eating Christmas dinner with human hands.
Holiday traveling can turn anyone into a grinch, what with the long lines, delays and the crush of people also trying to get somewhere. Well, this man wants to keep the smile on every weary traveler's face.
Forget about watching elves make toys this Christmas. Why not watch how some beloved holiday treats are made?
Just like Santa, Scotty McCreery will make his way into thousands of homes this Christmas. The 21-year-old is booked to perform as part of the 'Fox and Friends Christmas Special,' which will air on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Carols are as much a part of Christmas as egg nog and ugly sweaters, but they're a little outdated, aren't they?
Trace Adkins loves this time of year. The rich history of the American Christmas celebration combined with national and personal traditions -- and a fair amount of nostalgia -- brings the country veteran to the Christmas tree as hurriedly as a young boy who has just learned what it's all about.
If the Elf on the Shelf doesn't get your kids to behave, then maybe it's best to summon the pre-eminent authority on being naughty and nice, like this woman did.
Ham may be the gold standard for Christmas dinner in the States, but step outside the border and you're bound to find a whole other kind of meal for the big day.

In a drive reminiscent of efforts after World War II, a new bipartisan group tries to chart a centrist course in a more divisive time.Breaking News
Partly that was because the two Washington veterans headlining the effort -- former Sen. Warren B. Rudman (R-N.H.) and former Rep. Lee H. Hamilton (D-Ind.) -- were last seen together playing key roles in the congressional investigation of the Iran-Contra scandal in 1988.
But the mood owed more to the example both men raised as the alternative to the partisan clashes over foreign policy that are common today. Each pointed to the years immediately after World War II, when patricians who have become known as the "Wise Men" shuttled between Wall Street and the inner circles of government, and internationalists in both parties locked arms to construct the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Marshall Plan.
Despite substantial disagreements between Democrats and Republicans, "both sides understood that there had to be a policy to take the world from where it was ... to where it would be as we sit here today," Rudman said at the news conference announcing the Partnership for a Secure America. "I would just say to you: It has been done before, and it can be done again."
But can it?
Most historians agree that the period after World War II represented the high point for a foreign policy establishment in both parties that steered a centrist course, despite resistance from each side's most ideological elements.
That tradition is still evident in the membership of the Partnership for a Secure America. Its advisory board includes a prominent array of moderate Republicans and centrist Democrats, including former secretaries of State, national security advisors and U.N. ambassadors from both parties.

With the advent of the microwave radiometer, passive remote sensing of clouds and precipitation has become an indispensable tool in a variety of meteorological and oceanographical applications. There is wide interest in the quantitative retrieval of water vapor, cloud liquid, and ice using brightness temperature observations in scientific studies such as Earth's radiation budget and microphysical processes of winter and summer clouds. Emission and scattering characteristics of hydrometeors depend on the frequency of observation. Thus, a multifrequency radiometer has the capability of profiling cloud microphysics. Sensitivities of vapor, liquid, and ice with respect to 20.6, 31.65 and 90 GHz brightness temperatures are studied. For the model studies, the atmosphere is characterized by vapor density and temperature profiles and layers of liquid and ice components. A parameterized radiative transfer model is used to quantify radiation emanating from the atmosphere. It is shown that downwelling scattering of radiation by an ice layer results in enhancement at 90 GHz brightness temperature. Once absorptive components such as vapor and liquid are estimated accurately, then it is shown that the ice water path can be retrieved using ground-based three-channel radiometer observations. In this paper the authors developed two- and three-channel neural network-based inversion models. Success of a neural network-based approach is demonstrated using a simulated time series of vapor, liquid, and ice. Performance of the standard explicit inversion model is compared with an iterative inversion model. In part II of this paper, actual radiometer, and radar field measurements are utilized to show practical applicability of the inverse models

AbstractAdvanced, erosion resistant thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are desired for gas turbine engines. These coatings will increase the durability of hot-section engine components to significantly improve the use time, safety and readiness of these engines. In this work, we will use novel coating synthesis techniques that enable the deposition of advanced coating compositions, microstructures and architectures to achieve a comprehensive TBC system that provides improved resistance to damage from particle erosion and impact. During the proposed Phase II effort, DVTI will optimize our novel erosion protection concepts and determine the processing sequences required for applying such concepts onto engine components using our advanced processing techniques. The successful completion of the Phase II work will result in a novel erosion resistant coating and coating deposition process that meets engine test requirements. This will lead to the qualification of these coatings for specific engine platforms of interest to the Army and DOD. Success in this work will offer the military a pathway toward production implementation of these advanced coatings and the new deposition processing capabilities required for applying coatings of this type onto engine components.

I was hoping to get some advice here on a web hosting query. We are building an eCommerce website that will basically reside on 2 x web servers (fronted by a load balancer) and interacting with a SQL2008 cluster.
In dealings with web hosting companies, some are trying to sell us an additional box which will be used as a domain controller. They claim that it's better design. Of course, the costs go up accordingly as well.
I want to better understand this - does the DC offer us better support from a security perspective. If we don't have this, what do we risk losing?

Concerns raised by two securities litigation firms on behalf of Prolor Biotech shareholders could stall Opko Health's acquisition of the Israeli biopharma.
The Stevenson, MD-based Brower Piven and Dallas' Powers Taylor are separately investigating the deal, citing possible breaches of fiduciary duty and potential undervaluing of current Prolor shares, respectively. In a statement, Brower Piven said it "seeks to determine, among other things, whether Prolor's board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value."
According to a Powers Taylor statement, the firm's investigation "centers on whether the company's shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the proposed acquisition, whether the transaction undervalues Prolor's stock, and whether Prolor's board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal."

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Stop in at any of the churches around here. Most of the girls that attend church around here will sling their legs right over your shoulders given the chance. That's where I get laid most of the time. There are some decent looking ones most of the time. Not that it really matters, all you need to do is bust a load in their mouth. Who cares anyways, but that's the best place to start.
#4 Jan 21, 2010
preachers and deacons daughters are the kinkiest on them all.
get those goody two shoes church girls drunk or high and you will have a great time.
For some real fun go to pigeon forge in the spring when they have the Church youth retreat or whatever its called.
find a hotel with lots of church vans in the lot and get a room.
fire up some weed at 2am and they come out like kids in a candy store.
I have taken so many young girls virginities over that way over the years I could not count them if I tried.
The best thing is i may get older but they all stay the same age.

This sh!t is hilarious!!
I have to there is also alot of truth to it. I once dated the deacons daughter and as young adolecent she scared me to death! She was and animal! Couldn't wait til sunday at church and drag me around the corner and yank that dress up! LMAO

this is awful...I really feel sorry for the women that meet you...sometimes "good girls" become stupid for a while when they are attracted to the "bad boys" and they might make a BIG MISTAKE..but they will wake-up and see who you really are...and then find a decent guy who will really care for them..and you will be all alone again..and then they will appreciate what they really have..and you will be nothing but a BAD memory!!
#8 Jan 21, 2010
Yeah but he had them 1st, they always remember their 1st and most the time he can talk them into doing it again even if they are happily married.
Turst me I know 1st hand.

well sometimes they aren't your first...and maybe she might feel unappreciated or even lonely in her marriage and you may be able to talk her back into bed..but she will wake-up and see you for who you really are..only a piece of crap would mess with a married women
#11 Jan 21, 2010
you say that like its a bad thing.
in the end as long as i get my knob polished i really could not care less how she feels later.
I will say what i have to in order to get what i want.
#12 Jan 21, 2010
it is a bad thing..you shouldn't mess with someone's emotions...I have met guys like you before...and one I'm sure you will know what it is like..pay backs a b*tch!!

wow, what a low life. this just shows you what kind of person he is. trash. you'll never get a nice woman with that kind of mindset, maybe wh*res though.

I do not care about someone's emotions
I care about getting laid.
I will say what I have to, to get what I want.

When I try to install the bootanimation, it appears I'm locking up in bootstrap. Anyone know why this is happening?
Just checking back, man. I am craving that Juice on barebones .596
Mine is just not changing no matter what I do.
Juiceman, is Gingercomb going to be updated for base .596?
Chkmate! great to a see a fellow DX'er in my area. I'm an Austinite myself! Take care!
Kejar, once again another amazing release guy! Question: how to I get the battery manager that the DX has? Thanks again!
Breathe easy. TBH released this:

Shows these guys can be trusted. Patience...
Nevermind...see the patch for it.
I remember reading in a post Drod2169 saying he's going to re-write rubiX on the new kernel. Will it be a brand new version? Or will it be 1.9.0?...
Calendar widget still broken also.
I still respect Drod's work though, don't get me wrong. Meant no diss, just was stating my experience.
Tried the new leak...still was a battery hog...and I have a fully charged battery...back to Rumm RX.
Yes... running it now.

Cooper's future in rugby on thin ice after shots at Deans
- From: The Australian
- September 24, 2012
FRUSTRATED Wallabies star Quade Cooper's future in the code appears on shaky ground following more shots at coach Robbie Deans and the Australian Rugby Union.
Cooper's frustrations have continued to boil over with a second thinly-veiled attack on Deans' tactics in four days plus suggestions he wants to join good friend Sonny Bill Williams in the NRL.
Sidelined due to a knee injury, the 38-Test playmaker posted a string of cutting remarks on his Twitter account on the weekend, at a delicate time in contract negotiations with the ARU.
Fresh from saying on Friday that the Wallabies will continue to lose fans and Bledisloe Cup Tests if they play to a boring, conservative style, Cooper tweeted about problems behind the scenes before removing two posts.
"Might thoughts on rugby now is who's playing . . . my thoughts on other codes how the f... do we get tickets !!" one deleted post read.
"I love rugby but there's s--t going on behind and above the players . . . effects the whole organisation! Happens at the reds few years back," said another, referring to backroom problems at the QRU before an administrative and coaching cleanout that resulted in a change of fortunes.
When a follower told Cooper he should be allowed to play in the exciting manner he is renowned for, the Queensland Reds five-eighth responded with a shot at Deans' conservative tactics.
"I am allowed from February to May sir," Cooper wrote, in reference to his Super Rugby play under Reds coach Ewen McKenzie.
Another follower asked him if he would play for South Sydney in the 2013 NRL competition, to which he replied: "No, but I want to play with SonnyBWilliams."
Cooper revealed he would spend some time with close friend Williams, who is set to line up for the Sydney Roosters next season, in Japan in the coming weeks.
Cooper signed in June a three-year contract to remain with the Reds but it's yet to be ratified as his ARU component hasn't been finalised, leading to concerns he will be lost to the code. His manager, Khoder Nasser, is in lengthy negotiations with the ARU but Cooper said he wasn't stressed.
"There's no worries from my side," he said last week. "That's all Khoder's job to look after that.
"I've agreed to stay with the Reds for three years and I love playing with the Reds. If (there's no ARU agreement) I'll just concentrate on getting my body right for the next time I have to play."
Cooper attended the Queensland club grand final yesterday but would not comment further.
He is unlikely to make the Wallabies' end-of-season tour of Europe due to coming knee surgery.
Cooper was involved in a minor car accident with fellow Wallabies Kurtley Beale and Digby Ioane at 2am on Thursday in Brisbane, just hours before Beale and Ioane were scheduled to fly to South Africa from Sydney.

Deepwater Horizon's 11 Dead Remembered
A memorial service took place Tuesday in Jackson, Miss. for the eleven men who died more than a month ago after the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
The eleven men presumed dead and who vanished without a trace were: Roy Wyatt Kemp, Blair Manuel, Dewey Revette, Shane Roshto, Jason Anderson, Aaron Dale Burkeen, Donald Clark, Stephen Curtis, Karl Kleppinger, Adam Weise and Gordon Jones.
Unlike the victims of the Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia, the men who died on the rig on April 20 have gotten relatively little attention from the national and world media. Tuesday was a chance to change that.
As NPR's Russell Lewis reported for the network's newscast:
Much of the attention of the Deepwater Horizon explosion has focused on the oil that's still spewing into the Gulf of Mexico.
But for family members of the eleven workers who died, the accident is more personal. The rig was owned by Transocean and its CEO, Steve Newman, fought back emotion as he told attendees they are all now a community that no one wanted to be a part of.
NEWMAN: A community of loss, of remembrance but also of hope and most of all, a community of faith. A faith that has been tested by this tragedy and that we hope that will be strengthened by this gathering today.
RUSSELL: Each of the family members received a bronze-helmet with a drilling rig carved onto it.
Transocean wouldn't allow the media to interview any of the attendees.
Transocean has the following video tribute to the men on a web page it has set up as a memorial.

Kinski (band)
Kinski live
|Background information
|Seattle, Washington, USA
|Years active
|Kill Rock Stars
|Chris Martin
Lucy Atkinson
Matthew Reid Schwartz
Barrett Wilke
Kinski is a rock band from Seattle, Washington, in the United States. They formed in 1998 in a pub, when bartender and drummer Dave Weeks overheard a conversation between two customers, Chris Martin (guitar) and Lucy Atkinson (bassist) about analog recording. Weeks joined the discussion, and they found they also shared mutual musical interests, and hence agreed to form a band. They started playing live the same year.
Near the end of 1999, guitarist/keyboardist/flautist Matthew Reid Schwartz was added to the line-up. Kinski issued its first record Space Launch for Frenchie earlier that same year consisting of six tracks running for 45 minutes. The band went on their first US tour with Mainliner from Japan, where they befriended Kawabata Makoto, also of Acid Mothers Temple.
Tours throughout the US would follow the next two years with such bands as Hovercraft, Silkworm, and Primordial Undermind. Their second album, Be Gentle With the Warm Turtle, came out on Pacifico in 2001. The band also toured Japan with Acid Mothers Temple in late 2001.
In early 2002, after the band finished recording their third album, Weeks left and later went on to join Seattle band Black Panties. That summer, Barrett Wilke took over on drums. The band at this time signed with Sub Pop, the label famous for signing fellow Seattle group Nirvana. The album Airs Above Your Station finally came out in 2003.
Later in 2003, Sub Pop issued a split album with Kinski and Acid Mothers Temple. Each band contributed their own material for this release, along with two collaborative pieces that were recorded during their earlier tour of Japan. Finally, the three-way "triptych" split, Crickets and Fireflies, was released by the Music Fellowship label with the bands Paik & Surface of Eceon.
Around the time that Weeks left the band, the remaining members began performing as an improvisational threesome under the name Herzog. An album, Don't Climb on and Take the Holy Water, was issued in 2004 by the Strange Attractors Audio House label consisting of live recordings from Herzog performances. The band also contributed a track to the Franco Battiato tribute album, What's Your Function. A brief west coast tour with Mission of Burma rounded out the year.
In 2005, the band came back with Alpine Static, their sixth album overall and third on Sub Pop. Tours throughout the US, Europe, and Japan followed, stopping in London for a session with Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1.
Kinski was the opening act during the spring 2007 leg of Tool's 10,000 Days tour. Just before leaving for this tour, they finished their seventh album, Down Below It's Chaos with a scheduled Sub Pop release date of August 21, 2007.
Their song "Hot Stenographer" was featured in 2K Sports' video game title NHL 2K7.
"Hiding Drugs in the Temple (Part 2)" was featured on the soundtrack to Volition's Saint's Row.
"Punching Goodbye Out Front" appears in EA's 2010 video game Skate 3.
In August 2012, it was announced that Kinski's forthcoming album will be released in March 2013 on Kill Rock Stars.[1] Cosy Moments, the band's first album since 2007, was released April 3, 2013.[2]
In November 2014, it was announced that Kinski will be releasing a split EP with fellow Seattle band Sandrider in February 2015 on Seattle label Good to Die Records.[3]
Kinski has also announced their forthcoming record will be released on Kill Rock Stars in early 2015.[4] The album, entitled 7 (or 8), was recorded and mixed in San Francisco at El Studio with Phil Manley (of Trans Am) and features a faster and heavier sound than their previous efforts.[5]

Our visit to the lovely city of Berlin was amazing! Adams apartment was one of the highlights of the trip. The location was great, and the apartment was stylish and clean. Adam was an excellent host. Could not asked for more. Will be definitely coming back :)
We were very comfortable in the apartment of Adam, thanks for the kindness and availability, new cozy loft, will definitely be back.
It was a very pleasant stay in Berlin. The apartment was very nice, clean and well equipped. The addition of garage facilities for an extra 10 Euro was very much appreciated. The only problem was the difficulties with th eelectronic keys, especiilly when accessesing the garage.
The use of his Polish friend to give us the instructions was a little problematic, even though he was very friendly. Not speaking neither english nor german is not very good, but we managed.
We may well consider this apartment some other time.
Yours Sincerely
Per Nielsen
Great accomodation, great location, great owner!
Perfect stay, I endorse this place 100%!
We had a great time in Berlin and Adam was very nice.
The appartment is very well located and all was there.
The best was the little sunny terrace where we could have breakfast and dinner.
You can find fresh bread just around the corner.
I will highly recommend this place.
Thanks Adam!
Alloggio ottimo, pulito accogliente comodo ai servizi e con tutte le comodità.
Adam estremamente gentile e disponibile.
Da consigliare assolutamente.
Sehr schöne und gut ausgestattete Wohnung !
Zentral gelegen und alles gut zu erreichen. Auch ich würde gerne das Thema " ein großer Spiegel fehlt ! " wie auch schon häufig im Gästebuch angesprochen, aufgreifen....ER FEHLT WIRKLICH ;-)
Sonst wärmstens zu empfehlen.

You don't need a car to get to class
Parking spaces is very limited because everybody drives to school.
There is plenty of parking on campus but it is not convenient. A student must make sure to leave home at least 30 minutes before class in order to get a parking spot and make it to class on time. It would be nice to have a commuter only parking lot.
The parking is ok but it could get better because there isn't enough space for students to park next to or even close by their dorms.
Unless you're a teacher, good luck. Lot 10 seems forever away from the dorms which are the closest. Parking there for class is absolutely unheard of due to the distance. I am friends with people who are excellent students but yet they are unable to attend class because they live on the other side of town and cannot find a spot to park.

Details here. Stephen Koukoulas thinks we could too
"VALUE Added Tax (VAT) has been cut from 17.5 per cent to 15 per cent as part of the £20 billion "fiscal stimulus" package to encourage spending and spur economic growth. The reduced rate will operate from Monday for 13 months...
INCOME tax on the highest-earners – those who make at least £150,000 a year – will be raised to 45 per cent. The new tax band will come in from April 2011. By announcing a deferred tax rise, the Chancellor is attempting to outline how he will make up the borrowing he is doing now."

Venezuela Weighs End of 17-Year Fuel Freeze to Boost Coffers
Venezuela, the oil producer with the world's cheapest gasoline, is considering raising fuel prices for the first time in 17 years to boost state revenue.
"There have to be large debates in Venezuela about the price of gasoline and we will open this up for discussions with the entire country including organizations and private companies," Venezuelan Vice President Jorge Arreaza said in an interview yesterday with the Venevision television channel.
Octane 95 gasoline costs 0.097 bolivars a liter ($0.06 a gallon) at the official exchange rate, the cheapest in the world, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Venezuela loses about $1.4 billion a year to gasoline trafficking to Colombia, Oil Minster Rafael Ramirez said on Aug. 2. Gasoline across the border is about 70 times more expensive than in Venezuela.
"The measure would certainly help the economy, reducing gasoline imports and improving the budget," David Smilde, a sociology professor at the University of Georgia who specializes in Venezuela, said in a telephone interview today. "Even doubling or tripling the price probably wouldn't make a dent in people's wallets."
Venezuela consumes about 700,000 barrels a day of oil, Ramirez said in October. In recent years, the country has increased imports of gasoline components amid stagnant oil production and bottlenecks at local refineries.
Municipal Elections
President Nicolas Maduro, whose party won 44 percent of the vote in mayoral elections on Dec. 8, may use that political capital to implement measures such as raising the price of gasoline and devaluing the currency, said Smilde.
Maduro's leadership now has the "space" to make economic adjustments that have been postponed, Barclays analysts Alejandro Arreaza and Alejandro Grisanti wrote in an Dec. 9 note to clients.
Former President Carlos Andres Perez increased gasoline prices in 1989, leading to the Caracazo riots, while late President Hugo Chavez briefly floated the idea in 2011 before deciding against the move.
"In Latin America, as well as in the U.S., high gasoline prices are never a popular thing for politicians," Roger Tissot, a consultant with Tissot Associates, said in a phone interview from Vancouver. "The safe thing to do is to increase prices after the elections." Raising gasoline prices may improve efficiency and reduce smuggling, he said.
Product Imports
U.S. exports to Venezuela in 2012 of total petroleum products, including finished gasoline and MTBE, averaged 85,000 barrels a day, according to the U.S.-based Energy Information Administration, and have averaged 87,000 barrels a day through September of this year. PDVSA suffered a deadly explosion at its 645,000 barrel a day Amuay refinery in 2012, which affected domestic supply. The refinery has yet to recuperate full processing capacity, said Ramirez, who also serves as the president of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA.
The price difference between selling gasoline in Venezuela and abroad is about $32.1 billion, Asdrubal Oliveros, director of Caracas-based consulting firm Ecoanalitica, said by phone. It costs Venezuela $5.3 billion annually to maintain the gasoline subsidy, Oliveros said. The government would have to increase prices by 694 percent to eliminate the subsidy, he said.
The country last increased gasoline prices in 1996.
The yield on the Venezuelan government's benchmark 9.25 percent dollar bonds due in 2027 fell 22 basis points, or 0.22 percentage point, to 12.85 percent at 2:49 p.m. in New York today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

THE COMMONWEALTH Court yesterday rejected a lawsuit from some SugarHouse Casino investors who claimed the state Gaming Control Board does not have the authority to reissue a second casino license here.
The investor group, led by attorney Dick Sprague, insists the 2004 state law that allows casinos gives the board the authority to issue licenses but not to reissue licenses revoked from others.
Sprague yesterday said he will appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
"I look upon the Commonwealth Court just as a halfway station to the Supreme Court," said Sprague, who has 30 days to file an appeal. "We'll appeal more quickly than that."

The Sacred Path of the Warrior
Shambhala Publications, Mass Market Paperbound, 9781590304518, 227pp.
Publication Date: March 27, 2007
The compiler and editor of "The Collected Works of Chogyam Trungpa," Carolyn Rose Gimian, has been editing the works of Chogyam Trungpa for more than twenty-five years. Following his death, she became the founding director of the Shambhala Archives, the archival repository for Chogyam Trungpa's work in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Diana J. Mukpo was born in England in 1953. She attended the prestigious Benenden School until she left at the age of sixteen to marry the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Mrs. Mukpo moved to the United States in 1970, where she remained with Trungpa Rinpoche until his death in 1987. During their marriage, she pursued intensive study of dressage. She is now the owner and director of Windhorse Dressage, and she travels and teaches dressage clinics throughout the United States and Canada.
"Trungpa's warrior is a most appealing figure, embodying qualities that every spiritual tradition would hold dear. The principal discipline recommended here—being genuine moment after moment—allows one to discover the magic inherent in phenomena, where the synchronization of body and mind becomes an attunement to the natural order."—Yoga Journal
"Trungpa's clear-headed vision shows us that celebrating life is based on appreciating ourselves. This book is a masterpiece of clarity and insight."—East West Journal
"Shambhala provides a clear depiction of the results and, thus, the reasons for meditation practice as a source of strength for daily living and spiritual growth."—Body, Mind & Spirit

I haven been going to Dr. Facciolo since I was 18, I am 32 now. She is easy to talk to, is blunt and is very easy going. As a nurse myself I know I am not an easy patient and Dr. Facciolo has been great! Her practice has the patient portal which I have been using a lot since trying to get pregnant. While Dr. Facciolo no longer does obstetrics she has been working with me to help try and conceive. Her and her staff at both the Bel Air and Towson office are courteous, helpful and prompt in answering questions and returning phone calls.
This woman is rude, closed minded and incompetent and shouldn't be practicing medicine. She wasn't able to diagnose a serious problem which another doctor was able to find immediately.
I was experiencing heavy bleeding two weeks after the birth of my first child and asked to be seen by Dr, Facciolo. She refused. Afew hours later I was in the hospital hemorrhaging. She is not trustworthy and careless.
I hadn't been to see a gyn in almost 20 years, but Dr Facciolo put me at ease and was not judgmental. She was very personable and made the experience so much more bearable. I will definitely see her again in one year, not twenty!
I had to move and still drive to see her except when I am pregnant.

Released: Dec 01st, 2003
Running Time: 80
Director: Andre Madness
Company: Kick Ass Pictures
Cast: Haley (I), Arnold Schwarzenpecker, Tony Michaels (I), Brian Surewood, Rod Fontana, Roxy (I), Fiona Cheeks, Talon (I), Mickey G., Craig Moore, Steve Hatcher
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
Stock for gangbang fans as well as cream pie lovers.
This series, a cross between a gangbang video and a cream-pie tape, has a simple formula. Interview the girl and her five guys, make the boys draw lots for their gang-bang lineup and then film the results.
The scenes are not the marathon fuckfests you typically see in a gangbang setting -each guy gets one position and a pop. In lesser hands, this might feel a little assembly-line-ish, but Andre Madness managed to keep things interesting.
What really makes these work, though, are the girls and their plain, unfettered enthusiasm for cock and lots of it. Fiona Cheeks, with her straight blonde hair and braces, has that girl-next-door appeal. She admits that a fan begged her to appear in this series, and she seems tickled at the prospect. Madness lines 'em up, and she knocks 'em down. By the time lucky number five gets his prong into her, she's come at least once and is riding high. He has a huge orgasm almost immediately.
Roxy is a petite English beauty of apparent Asian descent. She warms up by describing for the camera the deliciously oozy feeling of an internal pop shot. She has fierce sex with her five guys, yelling and grinding against their pricks.
Haley, endowed with a pouty lower lip and tasty natural tits, gets double-stuffed a lot, to everyone's delight. She too is as enthusiastic as they come, taking on all comers with ease. Sometimes a simple formula is the most rewarding.

Hey, thanks so much for your help. I'm using the Cazuela theme and have a navigation tabs across the top that when hovered over display a dropdown menu of those categories subcategories. My site is vegasbellhop.com and under the 'strip hotel deals' tab, the list of subcategories in the dropdown is too long so I would like to have it drop down into two columns instead of one. I'm sure there is a way to edit the css file to do this, but I know very little about css, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Hi there,
In WP's showcase section, some non-blog examples have a really complicated front page, with a lot of links to articles.
( one of the example that I randomly picked from the top rated section is http://www2.macleans.ca/ )
It's possible to make a front page by hard coding, but I'm wondering if these non-blog websites really do like this?
Is there more efficient way to do it? For example, it'd be great if we can automatically display some page links by its popularity, ratings and date. Is it possible?
Thanks for any advice!

Pumpkin Scones (Vegan, Egg Free, Lactose Free, Still Delicious)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
These scones are quite easy to make but just a hint from someone who made this mistake... Make sure you put them on the TOP shelf of the oven to prevent burnt bottoms :)
Ingredients Nutrition

- 2 tablespoons sugar
- egg substitute (equal to one egg)
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pumpkin (cooked, drained and mashed)
- 1⁄4 soymilk
- Preheat oven to 220°C.
- Beat margarine and beat until soft then add sugar and egg replacer. Cream all together until light and fluffy.
- Sift flour, salt, and cinnamon together.
- Add pumpkin and milk alternately with the sifted ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined. don not over mix.
- Turn scone dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly.
- Roll or dress scone dough out, cut into desired shapes with a scone cutter.
- Place scone shapes close together on a lightly greased and flour dusted baking tray. Brush tops with a little milk.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until cooked (watch those bottoms) and golden.
- Remove from tray and cool slightly on a wire rack. Best served warm.
Most Helpful
Most excellent!!! I didn't have any pumpkin but used a can of mashed sweet potato that I had on hand. It was GREAT!! My nephew even loved them and he is incredibly picky about what he eats. Also, another trick to prevent burnt bottoms is to put a cookie sheet on the lower level of the oven.
Made this for 4 of us, & all but one were gone in no time at all, so that must mean (& it DOES) that they made for a GREAT SNACK! Thanks for something totally guilt-free! [Tagged, made & reviewed while in Australia with the ZWT5]

Alaska is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world, along with the Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera. While Alaskan cruises depart from several U.S. cities, Seattle is the departure port, and often the return port, for most cruises to Alaska, from straightforward, round-trip, seven-day cruises, to longer and more involved trips that include options such as sightseeing by rail or staying at a wilderness lodge.
Seven Day Cruises
All the major cruises that depart from Seattle for Alaska are round trip. Seven-day cruises typically travel from Seattle to Skagway or Juneau and back. These cruises spend a day traveling on the spectacularly scenic Inside Passage on the way up or the return trip, and also spend one entire day at sea. Stops include Vancouver or Victoria, British Columbia, as well as Sitka and Ketchikan, with shore side excursions such as lumberjack shows, sightseeing trams and trolleys, panning for gold, fishing for salmon and visiting totem poles. Cruise lines that offer seven-day cruises out of Seattle include Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. Brochure prices as of 2010 for seven-day cruises range from $1,000 at the low end to a little over $2,000 at the high end, with discounts often available.
Fourteen-Day Cruises
Just as with Caribbean cruises, 14-day cruises do not offer more of the same, but rather a longer trip. These cruises travel all the way up the Alaskan coast to Anchorage, the state's largest city, and Kodiak, home of some of the largest bears in the world, in addition to the Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, and all the stops of a seven-day Inside Passage cruise, as well two full days at sea. The only cruise lines with 14-day cruises from Seattle to Alaska are Holland America and Princess. Brochure prices for these cruises in 2010 start at just over $2,000 and run as high as $4,000, depending on the time of year.
Small Ship Cruises
Small ship cruises offer an entirely different experience than the typical cruise. Four CruiseWest ships sail to Alaska, and each holds between 78 and 138 passengers. The size of these ships allows for intimacy and flexibility--not only will you get to know your fellow passengers much better, but if a nearby pod of whales is spotted, the captain of the ship is free to go out of his way to ensure you get a better view. The smaller size of these ships also allows exploration of narrow passages that the bigger ships cannot. CruiseWest cruises from Seattle offer two options, a 10-day cruise and a 16-day. Both feature the same first 10 days, exploring the Inside Passage, with stops and sights including Friday Harbor in Washington's San Juan Islands, Glacier Bay, the Tracy Arm and Sitka. At the end of your 10 days, you can travel back to Seattle from Juneau, or choose to spend another six days exploring Alaska by land, including traveling by domed sightseeing train to the Denali National Park, ending your journey in Fairbanks. Optional activities during the land tour include rafting, "flightseeing," dog sledding and hiking. 2010 brochure prices for the 10-day tours range from $3,600 to $4,800.

The politically charged lawsuit is seeking a ruling that McKenna violated his ethical duties by asking the Supreme Court to invalidate protections for women's health care. It claims that his actions go against the wishes of his clients, the residents of Washington state.
As of Thursday morning, 90 women had signed on as plaintiffs in the case.
McKenna, a GOP candidate for governor, joined other GOP attorneys general in the federal health care lawsuit more than a year ago. He objected to a provision that required people to buy private health insurance or face a fine.
He said that mandate was unconstitutional, though he supported other parts of the federal overhaul. The new lawsuit targets his efforts to overturn the whole law not just the part he disagrees with.
The women say they want to force McKenna to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to maintain women's health care requirements, no matter how justices rule on the individual mandate.
McKenna's campaign manager, Randy Pepple, said the lawsuit was a frivolous attempt to change topics in the gubernatorial campaign from former congressman Jay Inslee's "lack of solutions for solving the problems facing Washington state."
The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, noted that McKenna chose to follow the action of other states' rather than his own statements and the wishes of his clients. Lawyers for the plaintiffs from the public interest law firm of Smith & Lowney PLLC say McKenna's actions are not in the best interest of Washington state and its residents, which he is obligated by law to represent.
McKenna "has greater latitude than many attorneys to determine what he believes to be in the best interests of the State's citizens. However, that latitude does not include misinforming the citizens of the nature of his actions, arguments and litigation engages on their behalf. The duties of candor and avoiding conflicts of interest apply to all lawyers, including the Attorney General," the lawsuit said.
The lawyers from Smith & Lowney said at a news conference that their timing in the middle of the campaign season and well into the health care debate in Washington, D.C. is not politically motivated. Attorney Knoll Lowney said there's no way of knowing when the Supreme Court will rule and that his clients decided to pursue the case around the second anniversary of the health care law's passage as McKenna's actions became clearer.
"The governor's race is so insignificant compared to the stakes in the U.S. Supreme Court," Lowney said. Although many expect the Supreme Court to rule in the near future, Lowney said this case could still affect the justices' decision.
Two of the plaintiffs said McKenna's actions made them worried about their future and that the federal health care law has already helped them.
Melissa Mackey, 38, said she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer nine months after being laid off from her job. If the Seattle woman hadn't been able to keep her insurance from her previous employer, if she hadn't been available for preventative care and if she had been affected by a cap on her insurance benefits, she may not have lived to speak at the news conference.
Mackey appeared offended by the suggestion that the timing of the lawsuit was politically motivated.
"I didn't get cancer for political reasons," said Mackey, who is still receiving treatment. "I just haven't done 20 months of treatment for a governor's race. I want to be treated fairly, and I want to be taken care of and that's what I deserve. I don't care who's governor."

Hong Kong Advisers Propose Yuan-Investment Program for Qianhai
China should let financial institutions in Shenzhen's Qianhai special zone invest yuan overseas, boosting Hong Kong's holdings of the Chinese currency, a Hong Kong government-advisory body proposed.
The Financial Services Development Council suggested China sanction a quota of 50 billion yuan ($8.2 billion) and $5 billion for Qianhai under the Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor program.
"Most financial institutions which engage in the renminbi business in Hong Kong consider the lack and instability of renminbi liquidity the biggest bottleneck of the offshore renminbi market," the council said in a research paper published yesterday.
The extended program, or QDII3, must abolish and simplify approval procedures for individual investment products, and quotas should be allocated transparently, the council said.
The People's Bank of China identified QDII2, which will allow individuals to invest in overseas capital markets, as among its major goals for 2013. The central bank has approved a plan for trials in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Shanghai Securities News reported in June, citing Wang Jingwu, head of the central bank's Guangzhou branch. There haven't been any public statements on QDII3.
China chose the Qianhai district of Shenzhen, a city that borders Hong Kong, as a testing ground for freer use of the yuan. Deposits in the Chinese currency in Hong Kong rose 21 percent this year to a record 730 billion yuan in September, after climbing 2.5 percent in 2012, Hong Kong Monetary Authority data showed.
Key Reforms
A Communist Party meeting that ended last week decided to accelerate convertibility of the yuan and the freeing-up of interest rates. It decided also to improve treasury yield curves and let qualified private investors set up small- to medium-sized banks.
The Hong Kong council proposed allowing offshore banks to participate in China's domestic repurchase market and to be permitted to remit the yuan borrowed offshore. Hong Kong lenders must be able to sell "sizable" certificates of deposit and yuan bonds in the onshore interbank market, it said.
Companies from emerging markets such as Brazil, India and Russia can be encouraged to sell yuan securities, known as Dim Sum bonds, in Hong Kong, the council said.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying welcomed the FSDC report, saying it provides concrete proposals for facilitating diversification of the financial services industry and enhancing the city's position and functions as an international financial center.
