I\'m used to teenage girls who talk all the time. They\'re always on the phone, chatting with their friends, or texting. Evilyn Fierce is the first girl who came in and barely said a word. She\'s definitely not shy. She peeled off her cute little outfit to show off her beautiful body. But when it came down to working a cock, she was totally focused on sucking and stroking. Evilyn might not be the chattiest 19-year-old, but she knows how to work out a load of jizz like nobody\'s business.

Almost had to call for back-up, Whitney Houston-style.
Ridiculously painful.

He was quite pleased with his effort and proudly proclaimed "me" when I asked who had pooped (I'd have asked who shit theirselves but youngsters remember everything). It was a horrible concoction that contained raisins and it was so bad that even though I took it directly outside the smell lingered so that when my wife came home 45 minutes later she could still turn around and run out of the room. An impressive effort all around.

- Story emphasis >>>>> Moe anime. (That's me!)
- A recent example would Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East). Fans of anime like Lain or Ghost in the Shell would probably be this kind. (I watched two of the three mentioned here. Going to check Eden of the East out, but I gotta finish Spice & Wolf and Appleseed XIII first whenever I feel like it.)
I fit in under this type of otaku the most, however, according to Artefact of Sankaku Complex, he describes this type as more of a "fan" than an "otaku", which is something I see myself as more correctly, and it's a fair description.
So, any recommendations?

In the far northern reaches of the planet a rare breed of extreme Fishermen still ply the Bering Sea. Adventure is their call, crab is their prey, and a one hundred million dollar plunder is their reward.. Five skippers and their crews will endure boat killing storms and mind numbing working conditions -risking it all on the hunt for crab. In the end, they will all come to the realization that the most violent storms come from within. Northwestern Captain Sig Hansen, a 30-year veteran and a third generation fisherman, will match skills against his old rivals, Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie, the Hillstrand brothers of the Time Bandit, and Captain Keith Colburn of the Wizard. Joining the fray is Legendary Skipper, Wild Bill and his crew on the F/V Kodiak. Back in the saddle after a five-year absence, Bill will have to find his bearings in a radically changed crab fleet.
This year, there's a fracture in the Bering Sea brotherhood. Old allies become mortal enemies when fishing turns personal. While some skippers rage against each other - another skipper fights a lone battle to stay alive. The Bering Sea has a way of turning young boys into hardened men -- before this season is through, terrible tragedy will alter two young lives forever. Forty-foot waves, hurricane force winds, heavy-machinery, and sleep deprivation are just a few reasons the injury rate is one hundred percent. Last season, eight men lost their lives to the Bering Sea. This year, catastrophe strikes at the heart of one of our featured boats.
Episode 1- Slow Burn: The 2009 King crab season begins with tensions at an all time high. On the Cornelia Marie, Josh and Jake Harris continue to let family melees affect their professional relationship. The Time Bandit boys feel violated when another skipper attempts to poach their deckhands. The F/V Kodiak enters the fray with a Skipper trying to get his bearings after a five -year respite. When the captains gather for their annual meeting, a line is crossed. The Bering Sea doesn't seem to be the only threat to the fisherman this year. But, by the end of the first week of fishing, one vessel will be lost.
Episode 2- Breaking 'Em In: It's week two of King season and a storm looms as the fleet hauls their first crab. Jake Harris and Jake Anderson must live up to their own hype as they are tested on unfamiliar boats. Johnathan Hillstrand gambles on his usual hotspot - and prays that lightening can strike for a third year in a row. On the Wizard a tough guy greenhorn is humbled by the brutal work of being a crabber. On the Northwestern, Skipper Sig fumes about his insubordinate deck boss - and brother. While on the Kodiak, bad crab put the Skipper in a bad mood -- and a mouthy deckhand gets the brunt of his wrath.
Episode 3- Sea Tested: It's the third week of hunting King crab and Skipper Phil and Skipper Sig's experiment in trading their junior deckhands is coming to a close. Young Jake Anderson and Jake Harris are tested by hard grinds, big weather and cruel pranks until the end. Jake Anderson thrives in his new environment and contemplates a permanent change --while Jake Harris can't wait to get back to his Dad and the Cornelia Marie. On the Kodiak a new skipper is tested by the difficulty of the hunt. And on the Wizard, a veteran skipper rages out when his authority is tested by his brother and his crew.
Episode 4- Bering Sea Swim Club: Skipper Sig and Skipper Phil liaison to reclaim their junior deckhands in a high seas transfer. But when the young crew members submerge themselves in the bitter, treacherous tides - the plan quickly spins out of control. On the Northwestern, the sight of Jake Anderson in the water stirs agonizing memories of a recent drowning for Nick Mavar. Skipper Keith tries to quell his own demons by settling a feud. The Time Bandit is in crisis as the crew fights to keep their vessel from sinking. And at the docks, one deckhand pays dearly for the Kodiak's poor season - losing his berth on the boat.
Episode 5- Arctic Quest: It's week five of the King Crab season. A monster storm stands between the Time Bandit and their final offload. While on the Northwestern, a maniacal Skipper heads into arctic seas to hunt down the fabled blue King crab-one of the planet's most elusive. With bitter, stormy conditions- and the nearest Coast Guard station more than twenty-four hours away-the Northwestern deckhands question their Captain's ambitions. On the Cornelia Marie, deckhand, Jake Harris, also challenges the Skipper's authority. A raging tirade-and an ultimatum-is his father's response.
Episode 6- False Pass: A white knuckle, boat-crippling passage stands between the Time Bandit and their final offload. Feared throughout the Bering sea, for it's 20 foot breaking waves and shallow waters rife with sand bars --False Pass, connects the Bering Sea with King Cove, a crab offloading spot south of the Aleutians. Despite warnings from other skippers, Johnathan Hillstrand decides to brave the pass in a storm and nearly sinks his boat with all on board. Meanwhile 400 hundred miles to the north, a maniacal Captain Sig risks crew mutiny to hunt down the fabled blue crab --an elusive species. The Cornelia Marie loses power in raging weather. His circulation pump to the crab tank shuts down--risking an entire seasons worth of King crab. On the Wizard, the greenhorn makes it through the season but his surly ways do not win him any allies with his fellow deckhands. By the end of King Season, every crew that makes it into port deserves every penny.
Episode 7- When Hell Freezes Over: The season begins with Captain Phil Harris dealing with massive repairs caused by running the Cornelia Marie into a reef. The delay to his fishing trip has the skipper rife with anxiety. On the Northwestern, the crew throws Edgar a birthday party that reminds everyone that crab fishing is a young man's game--and Edgar's body is getting older fast. Skipper Sig questions how many more brutal opilio crab seasons his brother has in him. The captain promises to go easy on Edgar --a promise that is tested on the very first string of pots, set in violent weather. On the Time Bandit, Captain Andy hustles to drop his gear in an ice storm while his new greenhorn deals with a devastating bout of seasickness. By the end of the first day on the crab grounds most of the fleet is covered with heavy plates of boat killing ice. For the Skippers and crews it's a brutal race to bash off the ice, and dump pots before their boats capsize.
Episode 8- We're Not In Kansas Anymore"¦ Days of ice bashing has the entire fleet beaten and bruised. On the Northwestern, the exhausted crew struggles to keep up with Captain Sig's maniacal pace - and their youngest deckhand, Jake Anderson, pays the price in blood. Now, the once sturdy, five-man deck is handicapped - and the season has barely started. On the Cornelia Marie, the pot stack has turned into a Mount Everest of ice - and the crew works in bitter temperatures to get the gear off and stabilize the boat. Up in the wheelhouse, the long shifts has skipper Phil Harris's back in excruciating pain. On the Time Bandit, the greenhorn battles crippling seasickness - with little sympathy from his crewmates. On the Wizard, the greenhorn experiences shock and awe at the amount of brutal work involved with crab fishing and is told simply, "you're not in Kansas anymore."
Episode 9- Glory Days: The Cornelia Marie gambles on the Bering Sea's most difficult fishing grounds. Phil Harris will have to drop his gear in a precise pattern in hopes of reliving his glory days. A sudden ice storm, sends the Time Bandit into crisis mode. The ice-laden pots cause the boat to dangerously list. If the crew can't get the pots off fast the boat could sink. Meanwhile, a distress called is issued when a man on a nearby vessel suffers a heart attack. The Coast Guard must attempt a rescue in huge seas and 30-knot winds, with low fuel, and low visibility. The victim must be immediately airlifted to a hospital but when the rescue swimmer nearly swings into the mast, the Coast Guard must consider abandoning the mission.
Episode 10- The Darkened Seas: The Coast Guard makes a second attempt to rescue a fisherman in cardiac distress. While being lowered to the pitching deck, high winds threaten to hurl the rescue swimmer into the mast. The Time Bandit is hauling huge crab numbers--until heavy falling ice chunks turn the deck into a war zone. By the end of the day, a favorite deckhand is a casualty. On the Cornelia Marie, Skipper Phil is also hauling record crab. But the captain's good mood turns dark when his youngest son reveals a dark secret.
Episode 11- Blown Off Course: Captain Johnathan leaves the Time Bandit for warmer waters. On the Cornelia Marie, a skipper pays a heavy price for his hard living ways. On the Northwestern, a phone call home brings heartache to Jake Anderson as he learns disturbing details about his father's disappearance.
Episode 12- Empty Throne: Skipper Phil Harris becomes critically ill in remote St. Paul Harbor and has to be flown by airborne EMTs to a hospital in Anchorage. Son Jake remains by his side while his other son, Josh, stays behind to watch over the boat. Josh is torn. Does he stay to catch the rest of their crab quota? Or rush to his Dad's bedside before it's too late? On the Time Bandit, Andy trains a potential successor to the Captain's chair while the rest of the crew looks on jealously. On the Kodiak, Captain Bill Wichrowski grants his crew a night at the bars while offloading in town. The Skipper regrets his generosity when a deckhand gets wasted and can't work the next day.
Episode 13- Cain and Abel: As the fleet struggles through their mid-season grinds, Captains turn on deckhands and deckhands turn on each other. On land, Skipper Phil battles for his life while his sons tear each other apart. On the Wizard, Captain Keith is stuck in a maze of ice, praying to God that his northern gear is safe. On the Time Bandit, Mike Fourtner is faltering on deck. His crewmates are tearing him apart and Captain Andy is questioning his decision about his potential heir. Captain Sig's endless false promises on the Northwestern has little brother Edgar on the brink of quitting.
Episode 14- Redemption Day: On the Time Bandit, Scott sees fellow deckhand Mike as a threat to his birthright and steps up to prove that he is a worthy contender. Skipper Andy watches, displeased, as his deck begins to disintegrate under the competition. Desperate to leave his post on deck, Edgar Hansen decides to train his greenest deckhand, Jake Anderson, on the hydros-a move that could derail the efficient well-oiled deck routine on the Northwestern. On the Kodiak, Captain Bill is fed up with Clint and gets on the horn to look for a replacement deckhand. Meanwhile, Mother Nature unleashes an epic storm on the fleet while Phil Harris fights a battle for his life.
Episode 15- Valhalla: Captain Phil Harris loses his battle for life while the boats battle a huge storm. The skippers are unaware of Phil's sad passing and are concentrating on filling their tanks before the end of the season. On the Wizard, Lynn Guitard loses focus on the stack and Captain Keith loses his patience and rages out on him. On the Time Bandit, the once sea-sick greenhorn now faces a battle with homesickness and finds no sympathy from the crew. Skipper Bill plies the Kodiak through icy, foggy waters in the northern reaches of the crab ground when his deckboss, Adam, loses control of the crane. A pot swings wildly and crewmen run for their lives. The episode ends with the boats finding out about Phil's passing and holding memorials for their fallen brother on the high seas--crabber style.
Episode 16- Endless: Tension runs high on the Northwestern. Edgar Hansen is fed up with the 22 year marathon of pain, and confronts older brother, Sig. Lynn Guitard has been faltering on deck, he only has this last set to prove to Captain Keith that he has 'lifer' potential. On the Kodiak, Captain Bill has run the gamut of a poor fishing season. But now, with a gamble fishing near the ice pack, and new crewmembers - will the once 'wild' captain be able to recapture his glory days? The future of the Time Bandit has been uncertain. With prospects of possible successors coming up short-- will Andy and Johnathan be able to retire? Finally, Josh Harris returns to the Cornelia Marie but nothing will ever be the same.
Ep. 1- F/V Time Bandit and her salty crew:. They tell it all, from John and Keith's fight to who will take over the helm of this legendary crab boat. The fishermen learn how to shuck oysters, and then, naturally, have an eating contest. The captains use a Voodoo ceremony to quell bad blood, and listen to a classic New Orleans live band.
Ep. 2- The Northwestern: Captains and crew discuss this season aboard the F/V Northwestern. The tension between Sig and Edgar is close to boiling over and the Jakes relive their boat swapping experience. The captains get down and dirty on a gator farm before trying their hands at bowfishing. Live music and some dancing onlookers keep the table entertained.
Ep. 3- The Wizard: The F/V Wizard is the center of attention in this third hour of After The Catch. Captain Keith goes fishing New Orleans style and dishes on his boat's bad run in the greenhorn department. Speaking of dishes, an early morning gumbo lesson quickly turns into an all Deadliest Chef battle. Tune in to see who will win the war of the gumbos.
Ep. 4- The Fleet: Captain Bill Wichrowski joins the Captains at the After The Catch table to talk about his tough return to crabbing. Russel Newberry and Freddy Maugatai also join the fray. The captains go crawfishing and continue to enjoy live music in between discussions of New Orleans. The Fleet explores the devastation of Katrina, and the havoc of the recent oil spill off the coast.
Ep. 5- The Good Captain Phil: After The Catch pays tribute to legendary fisherman, Captain Phil Harris. Joined by Phil's family and friends, the Captains reminisce and honor their long time friend. In this touching hour, Phil's life at sea is remembered fondly by cast and crew. The show closes with a traditional New Orleans funeral parade honoring Phil's memory.
BEHIND THE SCENES FROM SEASON 6: A crab boat is a set with an unstable stage, man crushing props, unpredictable scenery, and no script. A Deadliest Catch cameraman faces every grueling second with his subjects. In this behind the scenes special, a cameraman battles life-threatening seasickness, while another is forced to produce the story of his life. This season, one captain's death blurs the line between documentarian and subject.
CASH CAB EPISODE WITH THE DEADLIEST CATCH CAPTAINS: In this special episode, the Cash Cab picks up the Alaskan crab boat captains and crew from Deadliest Catch. Watch as they try to haul in as much cash as they can for their favorite charities.

In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving waves sixty feet high, the perils of thousand-pound steel traps thrown about by the punishing wind, and the constant menace of the open, hungry water"epitomized in the chorus of a haunting sailors" sing-along: "Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, so beware, beware."
By turns raucous and reflective, exhilarating and anguished, enthralling, suspenseful, and wise, Time Bandit chronicles a larger-than-life love affair as old as civilization itself"a love affair between striving, willful man and inscrutable, enduring nature.

To nuke or not to nuke?
November 28, 2012
Filed under Archives
Should this rhetorical question even be a question period? Shouldn't the thought of such existential consequences alone be enough to steer us away from these kinds of hypothetical discussions of mutually assured destruction? Maybe it should, but this doesn't keep us from the inevitability of human nature.
Robert Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavad Gita beautifully in the perfect situation: "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." This he uttered after the successful test of the atomic bomb.
We entered a new age of destruction after the deathly innovation of these kinds of weapons. However only one nation has pulled the trigger on this fat man, and that nation is ours. Subsequently as history has shown, more and more nations have acquired nuclear capabilities, yet the hesitancy to "flex" their muscle has grown with it.
Nuclear weapons have become the world's insurance policy that no one wants to cash.
Though in a twisted paradox the United States condemns the proliferation of nuclear weapons and continues to keep its stockpiles saturated with everything from hydrogen bombs to neutron bombs.
However, the problem is more than the U.S.'s reluctance to give up its Cold War habits. It becomes a symbol of authority for those nations seeking it. A nation's power in the 21st century isn't defined solely by its economic and political status. Look at the following nations: United States, China, India, Israel, the Russian Federation, The United Kingdom, France and Japan. What do they all have in common? Nuclear capabilities.
Nuclear proliferation has become the key to superpower status as it allows a nation's influence on foreign policy not only regionally, but globally. When a nation wishes to "flex" its nuclear muscle as a form of conflict resolution to a neighbor that doesn't have it, the natural reaction will be for them to back away and let the superpower resume influence.
In regions of the world like India and Pakistan for example, recently in July there were concerns of a "nuclear arms race" between the two nations as was reported by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. "The escalation in nuclear capabilities has caused alarm because, despite recent improvements in relations between the two countries, the threat of a nuclear conflict remains."
Even more recently in the Middle East, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been in the hunt for nuclear capabilities and this has caused some concern for stability in the region. In a recent article released by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, a diagram was leaked that showed of Iran's intention to strengthen its nuclear weapon. "The International Atomic Energy Agency – the Vienna-based UN nuclear watchdog – reported last year that it had obtained diagrams indicating that Iran was calculating the 'nuclear explosive yield' of potential weapons."
So what then does all of this mean? Are nations justified in having nuclear capabilities as a means of protection or as a kind of insurance so that countries can make sure that their influence is static? Or does it mean that we are preparing for existential consequences?
It seems foreboding that this possibility even has to exist, because if we lay out the acronym mutually assured destruction – it spells out one thing: M.A.D. – and it does seem very MAD. If nuclear nations continue to participate in this contest, a dangerous future is assured for all participants.

ITU Adopts H.350 Architecture Developed by Internet2 Working Group WASHINGTON, D.C. - September 3, 2003
A new standard announced today by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) will make videoconferencing with colleagues, friends and relatives via the Internet easier and less expensive. Resulting from an Internet2(R) Middleware Initiative Video working group, the new H.350 standard provides a uniform way for storing and finding information related to video and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in enterprise directories. {more}
"It is expected that, utilmately, several cataloging utilities, supporting different schemas but readily exportable to the MIC, will be made available. Currently, a cataloging utility that creates records in Dublin Core and MPEG-7 is being provided as a Microsoft Access 2000 database, available for download from this website (http://gondolin.rutgers.edu/MIC/text/how/cataloging_utility.htm). This utility will include XML record export in MPEG-7 or Dublin Core simple for export to the MIC union catalog."
In 10 years, videoconferencing for the masses will be a snap. Higher ed is already there. (by Elizabeth Gardner at UniversityBusiness.com)
"One of the first H.323 Forum goals was to develop an industry-wide H.323 equipment certification program. After much hard work by Anatoli Levine and his team, I am very pleased to announce the first H.323 Forum equipment certification event. The event will be held 6/2-6/6 in Billerica, Massachusetts to synchronize with the Spring IMTC interop event. At this event, H.323 Forum and IMTC member companies will have a chance to test their equipment against standardized H.323 Forum protocol certification testcases. If successful, member companies will receive official H.323 Forum certification status, receive an official certificate as well as permission to use a special H.323 Forum certification logo. This is an important H.323 industry event and I invite all member companies to attend. I also ask that companies planning to purchase H.323 equipment begin requesting H.323 Forum certification. With a little help from everyone, we can turn this program into the industry standard and improve H.323 interoperability throughout the network.
Link to the certification event registration page is as follows: http://www.imtc.org/interops/index.asp
Again, thanks to the H.323 Forum certification team for a job well done!

A new white paper by David Kuhlman and Michael West of the ViDe MPEG-4 working group is now available online in the streaming video working group section.
What's in between full-scale satellite teleconferencing and conference phone calls? Do you use some combination of Instant Messenger and conference calling to approximate real-time Web conferencing? Would you like to? Is there a need? Is the technology ready for us? Can we afford it? Is anyone doing it right? The interview focused on the elements you need to consider when thinking about utilizing Web conferencing. Howard Strauss and Judith Boettcher quizzed distinguished guest experts Mary Trauner of Georgia Tech and Stephanie Franks-Downs of ConferZone.com. [more]
The NSF Middleware Initiative (NMI) and Digital Rights Management (DRM) Workshop, headed up by ViDe's Mairead Martin (University of Tennessee at Knoxville) and Grace Agnew (Rutgers University), is past, but the website contains a nice set of resources as well as the program materials (PowerPoint and .pdf files) -- well worth taking a look at with interest in DRM. The website is located at http://www.ait.utk.edu/drmworkshop/index.htm.
The Educause 2002 meeting has come and gone, and the members of ViDe continued to spread the word. Bob Dixon, Jill Gemmill, Mary Trauner, and Doug Pearson conducted a seminar, "How Do I Do Internet Videoconferencing on My Campus? A ViDe Workshop Focusing on Resources/Best Practices for Providing H.323 Services" [more information available here], and Jill and Mary presented a talk on "The Video Development Initiative" as part of the External Relationships and New Partnerships track [more here].
Wire One Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WONE), a provider of video communications solutions, today announced that its award-winning Glowpoint network, in conjunction with the Video Development Initiative (ViDe) and the Internet2 network, successfully co-hosted a 1.5-hour, 93-endpoint video conference for the H.323 Forum. The video conference was held in connection with SuperOP!, the International Multimedia Telecommunications Consortium's (IMTC) annual testing event for the interoperability of rich media products based on open standards.

D-Lib magazine online has published an article co-authored by Mairead Martin, MPEG-4 Chair, and Grace Agnew, Video Access Chair, titled "Federated Digital Rights Management: A Proposed DRM Solution for Research and Education." From the article:
This article describes efforts underway within the research networking and library communities to develop a digital rights management (DRM) solution to support teaching and research. Our specific focus is to present a reference architecture for a federated DRM implementation that leverages existing and emerging middleware infrastructure.
The article may be found in it's entirity at the D-Lib Magazine site at http://www.dlib.org/dlib/july02/martin/07martin.html.
For those who need basic information on the topic, an introduction to digital rights management can be found at http://www.vide.net/help/drmintro.shtml.
Congratulations to ViDe on the successful award of a grant from the National Science Foundation for the project "ViDe.Net: Middleware for Scalable Video Services for Research and Higher Education." The collaboration involves Jill Gemmill (UAB), Samir Chatterjee (CGU), Tyler Johnson (UNC), Egon Verharen (SURFnet), and RADVISION. The project will last two years and will produce a videoconferencing application directory (based on CommObject) and management for testbed activities/results propagation.
Grace Agnew and Mairead Martin of the ViDe Digital Rights Management working group have just received an award from the NSF NMI program to conduct an invitational workshop - "The NMI and DRM". The workshop is also being endorsed by CNI, EDUCAUSE, I2, SURA, and ViDe, and will be held mid-August in Washington, DC. The workshop will focus on exploring how the work of the NMI might be leveraged towards a DRM implementation for R&E, the idea of a rights metadata core and the launching of an initiative to pursue this, and the establishment of an NMI Digital Content Working Group.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.
NMI-R1 was released on May 7, 2002. It integrates key software packages, standards, and best practices toward formation of a national middleware infrastructure for science, engineering and education. Downloads are free to the public.
The National Science Foundation issued a press release describing NMI-R1, which features deliverables from the two NMI project teams: GRIDS and EDIT.
The NMI consists partially of video middleware (CommObject) that was contributed by the ViDe/Internet2 collaborative VidMid working group. The NMI provides standardized, authoritative directory and authentication services for both videoconferencing and video on demand.

º Will the Bells crush Net calling? Telephone calls traveling over the Internet are surging in popularity. From virtually nothing a few years ago, Internet-based calling now comprises an estimated 10 percent of international calls. While domestic numbers vary between 1 percent and 5 percent, there is broad agreement that Internet calling is quickly growing.
º Web Consortium Captures Captioning The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has commissioned a working group to develop standards for text captioning of streaming video. The Timed Text Working Group will base the standards on XML and hopes to further bridge the gap for disabled individuals seeking to use the multimedia features of the Web.

Vatican: Pope too weary at his age for the job
Monday, February 11, 2013
LONDON (AP) — When he became pope at age 78, Benedict XVI was already the oldest pontiff elected in nearly 300 years. He's now 85, and in recent years he has slowed down significantly, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences. |

Regardless of what manufactures of bending machines claim, loft, lie and face angle cannot ever be accurately measured while clamped in a bending machine. Bending machines are designed to record specifications based on the positioning of scoring lines. Scoring lines are rarely machined into golf club heads at the exact lie angle of the golf club head. Different sole angles and offsets also cause major problems with recording loft and lie angles of an iron or wood while being clamped in a bending machine. The only true way to accurately measure any golf club head specification is by using a quality loft and lie gauge such as the Maltby Design Precision Milled Golf Club Gauge.
The Maltby Precision Milled Golf Club Gauge features a thumb knob on the adjustable lie angle arm. The base and upright arm are precision milled and the shaft clamping fixture is made from a soft, non-marring aluminum. All measuring lines are machined into the unit. Measures:

SPOKANE -- Police are investigating a stabbing that happened near Third and Wall in Downtown Spokane.
They found a man at an apartment complex on Wall around 9:20 p.m. Friday. They got a call that he had been stabbed in the buttocks. Police said the 51-year-old man went to the hospital with a four inch deep gash. Police said he lost a lot of blood and was going in and out of consciousness before an ambulance arrived.
The victim told police he was stabbed by a white man wearing all black. Police said they did find a man fitting that description and questioned him. However, police have not said if that is the suspect.
Police said they do believe the attack may have been a robbery because the victim said the suspect took his beer.

Flere oplysninger
Santiago de Compostela is easily manageable on foot –the historic centre is pedestrianised and most of the monuments are close together. You can see all the main points of tourist interest with a relaxed walk.
Hvordan kommer jeg omkring?
There is a city bus system that will take you conveniently from one part of the city to another. Buses usually run from 7 am-11 pm, although timetables and frequencies vary according to the route. Another option is to use a taxi: they operate at all hours of the day and night, and are white with the city crest and their licence number on the side. You can flag them down in the street when the green light is on. Otherwise they can be found at taxi ranks or you can order them by telephone using the radio taxi service. Tariffs are on display inside the taxis and include charges for flag-down, kilometres travelled and other special extras such as night service, public holidays, and train or airport services.
Den bedste valgmulighed
Which is the best option?
You can get around Santiago conveniently on foot. Nevertheless, depending on the number of journeys you want to make on public transport, you may want to buy a bus pass, given that the discount means each journey costs only €0.60.
How much does transport cost?
A one-way bus ticket costs €1 and are purchased directly from the driver, so it's advisable to carry the exact amount, or at least some coins to make it easier to change. You can also buy bus passes for 10, 20 and 30 journeys. To purchase one of these passes, besides the amount to be paid, you also have to pay a €3 deposit, refundable on return of the card.
Andre måder at komme omkring på
Other ways of getting around
The Tourist Train takes you on a 45-minute trip around the sightseeing area. It costs €6 (€4 for children between 4 and 12), departs from the Praza do Obradoiro square and runs every day except in the low season, when there is only a weekend service.

I have completed the second phase of updating the DPPN.
Except on the Index pages, where diacritics are not used to make page searching easier, most of the Pāli spellings have now been corrected. The names of suttas have been changed to match the CSCD Tipiṭaka to make finding them easier, and footnotes have been added to some of the longer articles to reduce the clutter.
There indexes to the Jātka, Dīgha Nikyāya, Majjhima Nikāya, and Sutta Nipāta.

"We went the end of June and the weather could not have been more cooperating. The staff could not have been nicer. We were upgraded immediately upon our arrival. Once we got to our room (which had the french doors overlooking Las Ramblas), there was a knock at the door. The staff delivered a bottle of champagne and canapes which were delicious. Beware the tubs though. Being short, they were quite higher than normal and quite slippery as well. Roof top bar was very nice and relaxing. Very unique architecture. "

A forehead lift is a surgical procedure to correct sagging of the forehead skin, eyebrows, and upper eyelids. It may also improve the look of wrinkles in the forehead and between the eyes.
A forehead lift removes or changes the muscles and skin that cause signs of aging as drooping eyebrows, "hooding" eyelids, forehead furrows, and frown lines.
The surgery may be done alone or with other procedures such as a facelift , eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping . The surgery can be done in a surgeon's office, an outpatient surgery center, or a hospital. It's usually done on an outpatient basis, without an overnight stay.
You will be awake, but will be given local anesthesia so that you will not feel pain. You might also get medicine to relieve anxiety. In some cases, general anesthesia will be used. During the procedure, you will feel some stretching of the forehead skin and possibly some discomfort. Some patients ask for general anesthesia so they will sleep through the procedure.
Sections of hair will be held away from the surgery area. Hair right in front of the cut line may need to be trimmed, but large areas of hair will not be shaved.
After removing excess tissue, skin, and muscle, the doctor will close the cut with stitches or staples. Before dressings are applied, your hair and face will be washed so the scalp skin does not get irritated.
Endobrow lift; Open browlift; Temporal lift
This procedure is most often done on people in their 40s - 60s to slow the effects of aging. It can also help people with inherited conditions, such as furrowed lines above the nose or a droopy eyebrow.
In younger people, a forehead lift can raise low eyebrows that give the face a "sad" look. The procedure can also be done in people whose brows are so low that they block the upper part of their vision.
A good candidate for a forehead lift has one or more of the following:
Occasionally, forehead lifts will make it hard to raise the eyebrows or wrinkle the forehead on one or both sides. If this happens, you might need more surgery to make both sides even. If you have already had plastic surgery to lift your upper eyelids, a forehead lift may not be recommended because it could affect your ability to close your eyelids.
In most people, the cut for the forehead lift is under the hairline. If you have a high or receding hairline , you may be able to see a thin scar after surgery. You'll need to style your hair so that it partly covers your forehead.
If the forehead skin is pulled too tightly or there is a lot of swelling , a wide scar may form. In some cases, hair loss may occur along the scar edges. This can be treated by surgically removing the scar tissue or areas of hair loss so a new scar can form. Permanent hair loss after a forehead lift is rare.
Medical conditions that could cause problems during or after surgery:
The area is wrapped with a sterile padding and an elastic bandage to prevent bleeding and swelling (edema ). You will feel numbness and temporary discomfort in the surgical site, which you can control with medication.
You'll keep your head raised for 2 - 3 days after surgery to prevent swelling. Bruising and swelling will occur around the eyes and cheeks, but should begin to disappear in a few days or a week.
As nerves regrow, numbness of the forehead and scalp will be replaced with itching or tingling. It may take up to 6 months for these sensations to fully disappear. The bandages will be removed a day or two after surgery. Within 10 -14 days, the stitches or clips will be removed in two stages.
You will be able to walk around in 1 - 2 days, but you won't be able to work for at least 7 days after surgery. You can shampoo and shower 2 days after surgery, or as soon as the bandages are removed.
Within 10 days, you should be able to go back to work or school. You should limit vigorous physical activity (jogging, bending, heavy housework, sex, or any activity that increases your blood pressure) for several weeks. Avoid contact sports for 6 - 8 weeks. Limit exposure to heat or sun for several months.
Hair shafts will be a bit thinner around the cut for a few weeks or months, but the hair should start to grow normally again. Hair will not grow in the line of the actual scar. Wearing your hair down on your forehead will hide most scars.
Most signs of the surgery should fade completely within 2 - 3 months. Makeup can cover minor swelling and bruising. At first, you'll probably feel tired and let down, but that will pass as you begin to look and feel better.
Most patients are pleased with the results of a forehead lift. They appear much younger and more rested than they did before. The procedure reduces the look of aging for years. Even if you don't have the surgery repeated in later years, you will probably look better than if you had never had a forehead lift.

Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that involves sudden and severe mental or nervous system changes.
DTs; Alcohol withdrawal - delirium tremens
Delirium tremens can occur when you stop drinking alcohol after a period of heavy drinking, especially if you do not eat enough food.
Delirium tremens may also be caused by head injury, infection, or illness in people with a history of heavy alcohol use.
It is most common in people who have a history of alcohol withdrawal . It is especially common in those who drink 4 - 5 pints of wine or 7 - 8 pints of beer (or 1 pint of "hard" alcohol) every day for several months. Delirium tremens also commonly affects people who have had an alcohol habit or alcoholism for more than 10 years.
Symptoms most often occur within 48-96 hours after the last drink. However, they may occur up to 7 - 10 days after the last drink.
Symptoms may get worse quickly, and can include:
Seizures (may occur without other symptoms of DTs)
Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, including:
Other symptoms that may occur:
Delirium tremens is a medical emergency.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Signs may include:
The following tests may be done:
The goals of treatment are to:
A hospital stay is needed. The health care team will regularly check:
Symptoms such as agitation, seizures, and irregular heartbeat are treated with the following medications:
The patient may need to be put into a sedated state for a week or more until withdrawal and DTs are finished. Benzodiazepine medications such as diazepam or lorazepam also help treat seizures, anxiety, and tremors.
Antipsychotic medications such as haloperidol may sometimes be needed for persons with severe psychotic symptoms, especially if they have an underlying problem such as schizophrenia. However, these drugs should be avoided if possible because they may contribute to seizures.
Long-term preventive treatment should begin after the patient recovers from immediate symptoms. This may involve a "drying out" period, in which no alcohol is allowed. Total and lifelong avoidance of alcohol (abstinence) is recommended for most people who go through withdrawal. The person should receive treatment for alcohol use or alcoholism, including:
The patient should be tested, and if needed, treated for other medical problems that can occur with alcohol use. Such problems may include:

Comments about Blinds Steve's Exclusive Collection Roller & Solar Shades Solar Screen Shades Budget 10% and 14% Openness Solar Shades:
Theses blinds do not roll up that nicely. I also should have ordered a 10 % openess. I think it will get too warm in summer with the open weave.

About Me Midrange Shopper
I like outside views but was having issues with bright bright sun damaging furniture and blinding. Westerly sun at certain times of day does hit and bother eyes. Greratly improved though.
Just what we needed
By Pat the Snowbird
from Summit, AL
Our deck has been enclosed and has six windows with screens. The blinds screen the sun wherever we want without restricting air flow and resist the rain if the window is left open.
I would buy again
By Greg the REALTOR
from Crawfordsville, IN
I remodeled my Real Estate Office and also added two additional offices to the building. These blinds block the sun glare but still allow light and also visibility out. I'm very pleased with the product. I had also purchased blinds from Steve's a few years ago for our home which is on a golf course, they work great without loosing our view.Very satisfied !!!
solar shades-excellent purchase
By pizza pepino
from Glassport PA
I purchased these for large windows on my restuarant/bar. I wanted to option of letting light in so chose these instead of getting the windows tinted. They are great! My building gets sun all day so its great to pull them down for my customers so they dont get blasted in the eyes with sun.Also keeps the temp lower in the summer, and adds privacy at night, great buy!

14% and 10% Solar Roller Shade
By Jentrex
from Michigan
I purchased the 14% solar roller shade in white and the 10% solar roller shade in off white for another room. There isn't too much of a difference between the 10% and 14% in regards to how much sun the blinds block. The 10% does feel a little heavier. I am using the 14% in my laundry room and the 10% over my kitchen sink window. I didn't want to purchase a fabric blind for my kitchen sink window as I was concerned about water splashing from the sink. And I didn't want a horizontal slat blind that I would have to dust. I also did not want a blind that blocked all the sunlight entering the room. These work well for my use. I was aware that these type of blinds would not provide total privacy at night, however, the rooms do not require total privacy at night. For example, at night from the outside looking in, one can see a shadow of a person standing at the sink, but not much more. During the day I am still able to see shadows of the trees outside and the blind still lets some light in. The blinds have a nice texture to them. They are not metal...they have a sort of cloth/plastic feel to them. It's nice. The blind gives my kitchen and laundry room a clean uncluttered look at an affordable price. Again, I would buy these again but NOT for a room that requires total privacy.
Back for more!!!!
By Maddog
from Wilmington, Vermont
We needed solar control for summer heat and the sun was bleaching the rugs, pictures, etc., but we wanted our view of the mountains. First time we bought 11 shades to try them out. This time around; 17 more completed the whole house. Using two 4' wide shades we covered the sliding glass doors and with one shade down and one up, we are able to use the doors.No where and I mean no where will you find better prices.
Great SSelection & Service
By IHOP
from Olympia, WA
It was fast and simple and we got just what we wanted without any fuss. I would buy from them again!
Excellent shades and unbeatable prices!
By doglady
from Tucson, AZ
I bought the thermal blinds to repel heat from the grueling Arizona sun and lower electricity costs. I set them up by myself and am super pleased with how they look and how well they provide privacy during the day (you can't see in the house at all when the sun is out). I highly recommend these products, especially for such a great price and great quality.
That's better!
By MWgraphic designer
from Philadelphia, PA
Excellent sun shades. Cuts temperature in my front room by 10 degrees. Total privacy, but does not block view out of my bow window. Husband, dog, electric bill much happier! Looking for similar options for my sliding glass deck doors next...
great fabric
By gail
from bulverde, TX 78163
have not rec'd second blind order 5/21/12Review10 couponneed to more clearly desribe that blind fabric coverage is 1 1/2" LESS than window opening (width)
I'd buy these again without hesitation
By Ranch girl
from Florissant, CO
We have a small cabin at about 8,700 ft altitude with several large SW facing windows. We wanted something economical but also needed something to limit the solar gain in the summer without blocking our view. So far, these seem to be exactly what we hoped they might be. They don't cut the heat completely, but they work as well as the (view blocking) reflective blinds that were up. If we were going to order these for our main home, we'd likely upgrade just a bit and get blinds with a continuous loop control only because it seems like it would be easier to control getting adjacent shades at exactly the same height if lowering only partially. For the price though, these are perfect! While the fabric is not fancy with texture and/or designs, it does hang nicely and it looks like it'll be easy to wipe clean. We're very pleased.
exelent good buy
By eve
Just made my room super comfort
I would buy these blinds in a minute.
By Molly
from Zephyrhills, Florida
The blinds that I purchased were all that I was expecting . They keep out the sun but you can still see thru them. They look really expnsive and I couldn't be any more happier. Just today my neighbor had me order some for him excatly like mine.I am totally satisfied. Thank you Steve's blinds

great looking shades

I love this blind!
By love the view

This blind is the perfect solution - controls light and heat and still can see out to trees and mountains. We are moving soon and I will definitely be placing another order.
Nice roller Shades

Solar screens
By Pat
from Coronado, CA
They are exactly what I wanted and the product was easy to install and materials are good.
Good shades for the money
By P in NB
from New Braunfels, TX
These shades definitely cut the sunshine and keep out both the heat and cold. If I ordered again, I would go more opaque; you can easily see in at night. My only complaint is that one edge of each blind is not even. For the wonderful price, I can live with it.
Perfect for patio door
By Snipper
from Longview, WA
This solar screen for thepatio door completed the coverings for our living/dining room. We get more light intothe room now that the curtains are open all the way and remain so no matter how bright the sun is. Visibility is as good as without the solar screens.
Great Value for the Price
By crazy cat lady
from Long Neck, DE
We installed 7 shades, they changed the whole appearance of the porch. The room remains comfortable all day, the shades are easy to operate and look wonderful!
Great solar shades

Shades are easy to install and give our sunroom lots of shade and privacy.
"Pleased with quality and price"
By Wise Buyer

The shades unobtrusively block sunlight and enhance appearance of windows.
Great value for the price
By Sara from Savannah
from Louisiana
Looks good and wonderful price. I do wish it took more of the brightness from the window, but will consider getting more.
Vast improvement over aluminum blinds!
By Lisa in STL
from Ballwin, MO
Sure makes the porch a whole lot better looking. The chocolate color is pretty, and we can still see our beautiful trees beyond. I wish the bottom rods were heavier to prevent the shades from blowing in the wind. They are mounted on the inside, with insect screen 4" beyond them... no window. We'll see how they stand up, not being marketed for outdoor use.
By Julie
from southeastern NC
The product is great and I've even ordered more blinds. The only think that annoys me is on the website - a floating and talking Steve is distracting from the task at hand.

Due to the big rolls, it's better to cover them.For pulling up and down, a hitch will be a solution.
