Waking up with an erection and a huge need to pee.
"Dude, I hate morning glories, I am trying to sleep, I wake up one sec and I've got a huge fucking boner and need to pee."
por Soiled Undergarment 18 de Agosto de 2003
My girlfriend loves it when I have a morning glory and shove it up her ass while she's still asleep. After she wakes up and put my hand on her perky little tits, she rides my dick as hard as she can till I almost cum, then she licks my balls and gives me a blow-job. When I cum she swallows every last drop and plays with my dick till I'm stiff again and she fucks me till lunchtime.

Hoard's Dairyman: Can you still afford a one-group TMR?
Can you still afford a one-group TMR?
Today's cost-price situation may trump the simplicity and convenience of having one mix.
The author is an extension dairy specialist at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.
With current milk price and feed costs and the loss of BST in some milk markets, people raise questions about using one ration mix compared to several.
Let's consider whether having more than one TMR may be a smart move for this year and when milk prices come back.
Why is a one-ration approach popular?
When feed prices are moderate and milk prices favorable, there are several reasons.
• It is simple and easy to mix and deliver one ration, varying only the amount delivered to pens.
• The fewer the mixes, the less chance of adding the wrong amount of ingredient.
• There's a chance the wrong group can get the wrong ration.
• There's labor saving by reducing the number of different mixes.
• It is easy to top off feed bunks as needed.
TMR mixer size becomes a factor, depending on number of cows and feed delivery capacity. If more than one batch is needed each day, it becomes more feasible to have more than one mix.
What are the advantages of several rations?>/b>
The potential benefits increase as feed prices go up, milk prices decline, and herds feed lactation-specific feed ingredients (such as rumen-protected methionine or polyunsaturated fatty acids — PUFA, and early-lactation cow feed additives). Feeding rations based on the cow's physiological response can improve margins by improving milk yield (such as early-lactation cows) while avoiding health risks (such as fat cows in late lactation).
Cows in early lactation have the "drive" to produce milk. Having another ration lower in nutrient content for lower-producing cows can improve margins by reducing feed costs while maintaining milk yield and avoiding heavy cows (over body condition score 3.75). Feed and nitrogen efficiency can be improved by shifting to a lower nutrient dense diet.
A key advantage for multiple rations is the ability to manage body condition without sacrificing milk. Heavy cows are high-risk cows for metabolic disorders, impaired immune function, and delayed conception in the next lactation. The ability to get cows rebred (less than a 14-month calving interval), the ability to use BST, and the percent of cows over a body condition score (BCS) of 3.75 at dry-off time are related factors. The box lists the ration strategy with a high group and low group.
Do cows drop in milk when moved?
Factors that can lead to a drop in milk include a change in nutrient content in the new ration and the social impact of moving cows which results in lower intakes.
The potential risk in lower dry matter intake after moving cows appears to depend on where they are in the dry matter intake curve for the current lactation. Data from Illinois and Israel indicated that, if cows are moved before peak dry matter intake has been reached, the impact on milk production when moving cows is minimal. Social interactions (boss cow fighting, pecking order, and limited feed bunk space) can cause a 2- to 8-pound decline in milk yield which may or may not recover.
Changing feed ingredients, but not changing cows, is one strategy to avoid the potential drop in dry matter intake and lower milk yield. You can adjust nutrient intake using soy hulls, corn gluten feed, or citrus pulp replacing high starch grain. This approach avoids shifting nutrients to body weight gain and away from milk yield.
Another approach is to move cows in a consistent pattern (such as weekly), resulting in less potential negative social interactions as groups do not stabilize. If individual cow daily milk recording can be measured on the farm, you can more easily assess the impact of moving cows.
• A Canadian study reported a drop of 8 pounds for three days after moving cows and returning to normal production and cow behavior patterns after three days.
• Illinois data indicate a drop of 2 pounds of milk (comparing the average milk yield one week before moving to one week after moving) when cows were moved from a fresh cow pen to a high production group.
What about costs and returns?
Key factors will be the price of milk, dry matter intake, price of dry matter, and anticipated change in milk yield. To illustrate these factors, we compared two levels of milk production (80 pounds for the high ration and 60 pounds for the low) using typical Midwest feeds and prices for corn, corn silage, alfalfa, and soybean meal. We used Spartan II computer ration software (Michigan State) to calculate least-cost rations using the same ration ingredients. Here is my analysis:
• The 80-pound TMR costs $6.15 per cow per day with 51.9 pounds of dry matter consumed at 11.8 cents per pound of dry matter.
• The 60-pound TMR costs $4.90 per cow per day with 45.2 pounds of dry matter consumed at 10.8 cents per pound of dry matter.
The price difference between the two rations was $1.25 per cow per day. However, the low-producing group consumed 6.7 pounds less dry matter compared to the high group valued at 11.8 cents per pound or 74 cents lower feed cost. When correcting for the lower dry matter consumption, the potential difference is 51 cents per cow per day ($1.25 minus 74 cents). If milk production declined 3 pounds at 13 cents a pound (loss of 39 cents), the savings would be 12 cents per cow per day with two groups. We included no feed additives, rumen inert amino acids, protected fat, or other fat sources in either ration.
What are your grouping alternatives?
You can group based on several factors besides feed cost.
Grouping strategy selected Ration strategy
First-lactation cows and older cows One ration
High-producing and low-producing cows Multiple rations
BSC (cows over 3.5 and cows under 3.5) Multiple rations
Open cows, breeding pen, and/or pregnant cows One ration
Low SCC and high SCC group/staph group One ration
Expensive feed additives Multiple rations
Herds average 25 percent above state average One ration
Herds experiencing metabolic disorders Multiple rations
Herd averaging over 225 days in milk Multiple rations
No one "right" answer is correct, but having more than one ration may be correct for the next six months.

LISBON - When Mike Abraham was hired as a part-time village police officer in 1999 it was with the dream of one day becoming chief.
That dream became a reality on Wednesday when Village Council promoted Abraham to replace Chief John "Buck" Higgins, who is retiring on Dec. 31 after 32 years with the village police department.
"I'm really humbled to follow Buck. He was here a long time and did a lot of good things," he said.
Abraham, 46, comes to the job with prior chief experience, having served as police chief in Salineville from 1999 until he quit in 2005 to go full-time with Lisbon. Prior to that, he was employed with the Smith Township Police Department from 1992 to 1999, rising to the rank of sergeant.
"That's the reason I left Salineville, because I someday hoped to be in a position to be able to succeed Buck," Abraham said, after the meeting.
Abraham was among four finalists for the job, which included two fellow Lisbon officers - Lt. Fred Carlisle, who has been serving as interim chief, and Shar Daub. The fourth candidate was Mike Harty of Wellsville, who is retired from the Atlanta police department.
Mayor Dan Bing said his decision to recommend Abraham for the chief's job was difficult given the quality of the finalists. "You're all great, all great. I'm pleased to have you on the force," he told Carlisle and Daub.
Abraham will begin his chief duties immediately because Higgins is off the rest of the year collecting on his unused accumulated vacation time. "The department is running pretty good right now. I don't plan on making any immediate changes," he said.
Abraham lives outside Salineville with his wife and three children. Village code requires the chief to move into town within one year of being hired, but council can waive the requirement, which is expected to occur. Higgins also lived outside of Lisbon, as did the police chief before him.
"I'll be available 24-7. That's part of the job," Abraham said.
His promotion means another position will come open in the department, and Abraham indicated he is likely to fill the vacancy with one of their part-time officers.
As for his salary, Bing and Council President Roger Gallo said it has yet to be determined but they expect it to be about 90 percent of what Higgins was earning.
The vote to hire Abraham was 5-0, with Council member Jeff Snyder absent.

He's got Oscars. Accolades. International fame. But what Sean Penn says he lacks in his life is love.
"There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that," the 52-year-old activist and actor, who will soon be seen in Gangster Squad, tells Esquire for its January 2013 issue.
"I have been the only one that was unaware of the fraud in a few of these circumstances blindly," he says.
Having been married – and divorced – twice, to Madonna from 1985 to 1989, and to Robin Wright Penn from 1996 to 2010, Penn says, "When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and you go, " 'What the f––– was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' "
In retrospect, he now considers such an experience "a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense. It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me."
During the roller-coaster ride of his last divorce, which started with a filing in Dec. 2007, Penn and Wright – who have a son together, Hopper, and a daughter, Dylan Frances – halted proceedings after four months. Penn then filed for legal separation in April 2009 before the couple again temporarily reunited a month later.
Wright eventually filed for divorce the following August. And though she announced the parting was amicable and the couple intended to remain friends, Penn said in an interview: "[Robin] is a ghost to me now. We spent all those years together … Now she's just gone."

Iroquois Superintendent Douglas Scofield directed the first in a series of budget workshops for less than a dozen people Tuesday, and emphasized that the district is not teetering near insolvency, a fiscal condition that looms over many other districts that have run through their fund balance.
"I'm glad to say we're not there," he announced.
However, if the tax levy is held flat, Scofield said, the gap between revenues and expenses would be more than $2 million. He noted the administration is looking at enrollment patterns for efficiencies.
The district anticipates a staff reduction in one of the elementary schools, but it would likely be offset by an additional teacher at the intermediate school.
As always, the superintendent said, the district would consider using reserves but noted they provide only a one-time boost to a budget.
"Once it's gone, it's gone," he said.
Concerns posted in exit surveys following last year's budget vote also were discussed, namely whether the number of district administrators could be reduced and whether the money paid for the modification of the high school entrance could have been used elsewhere.
"As for administrative efficiency, we're ranked 17th out of 430," Scofield said. "That's in the top 5 percent of New York State." He noted the district did not hire additional personnel to administer the Annual Professional Performance Review plan, as other districts did.
He also defended the redesign of the high school entrance, saying capital reserves were used to fund the project – dollars that could not be used for general budget expenses. Part of a larger project, the new entrance is more energy efficient and improves student safety because the building now has only one main entrance, which can be bettered monitored, Scofield said.
Separately, he discussed security measures at the Elma, Marilla and Wales elementary schools, saying principals have been checking auxiliary doors daily. He said the safety committee is meeting this week and the district is considering upgrading and installing more cameras. The superintendent said he also plans to run drills this year but noted the best security measure would be returning student resource officers to the schools.

Charleston lawyer Marlon Kimpson has a 55-45 lead over former Charleston Charleston City COuncilman Maurice Washington in their runoff for the District 42 Senate seat once held by Robert Ford.
Runoff details
Candidate info
For profiles of the candidates and other coverage of the Senate 42 Democratic primary battle, go to post andcourier.com/senate-42.
Polls Open
From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the same places used for the Aug. 13 primary (and last November's general election. Polling places also may be found at postandcourier.com/senate42-polling).
Voter ID
The state's new Voter ID requirements will be in effect, so voters should bring either: a driver's license or ID card issued by S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles; a state voter registration card with a photo; a federal military ID or a U.S. passport.
Those who do not have an ID may vote but first must sign a form stating why they could not get one.
District 42
This Senate district was redrawn two years ago and stretches from some of West Ashley's oldest neighborhoods to parts of downtown Charleston and up through North Charleston.
To find out if you're in District 42 and eligible to vote Tuesday, go to scvotes.org and click on the "Voters" and "Check your voter registration" tabs.
Absentee voting
In-person absentee voting will end at 5 p.m. Monday at the Charleston County Board of Elections and Voter Registration Office at 4367 Headquarters Road, North Charleston. All other absentee ballots must arrive in that office by 7 p.m. Tuesday.
The polls closed at 7 p.m. after a day of light voting.
Both Kimpson and Washington emerged as the top vote getters in the six-way Aug. 13 primary.
Their brief campaigns have centered on who is best for the district politically: Kimpson, a former state Democratic party official who has the backing of most local Democrats, or Washington, a political figure who has run as a Republican and a Democrat and prides himself on working both sides of the aisle?
Kimpson, a former first vice chairman of the state Democratic Party and former chairman of the State Election Commission, not only has raised far more money than other candidates, but he also won 44 percent of the vote on Aug. 13.
Washington, who received 22 percent on Aug. 13, acknowledged that he had an uphill fight to close that gap, but said Tuesday is a brand new race. He ran closer in absentee voting, trailing Kimpson by 296-350. The other precincts will be added in soon.
Ford resigned in May, as his fellow Senators found that he had violated state ethics laws. Ford said his health was not well enough to fight on, but he has been among Washington's most prominent backers. Other Democratic lawmakers have lined up behind Kimpson.
Tuesday's Democratic winner will be the favorite to win the Oct. 1 special election, because the district is solid Democratic turf. About 63 percent of its voters are African American.
The winner will go up against Republican Billy Shuman, a real estate agent, and Libertarian candidate Alex Thornton, a photographer, in the special election.

Lot # 1496 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1924-1925 National Biscuit Company Wagon and Truck Advertising Poster Collection (4)
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $2,115.00
Each of these four National Biscuit Company advertising posters, dating from either 1924 or 1925, was originally produced for display on the company's sales trucks and wagons. It was the National Biscuit Company's policy to promote different products on a continuing basis and, as such, company drivers were given new posters each week to display on their trucks or wagons. The company placed great importance on product promotion and even maintained a full-time staff of in-house artists to keep pace with the creation of each week's new posters and in-store displays. When looking at the sheer beauty of these pieces, it is no wonder that the National Biscuit Company's baked goods were the product of choice for most Americans at the time. Two of these posters are holiday issues (both December 1924) and feature Santa with a stocking full of National Biscuit Company treats, while the other two promote Oreo Sandwich cookies (July 1925) and Moonbeams (July 1924), respectively. A company code dates each poster precisely in the lower right-hand corner. Each poster measures 27 x 35 inches and has been dry mounted onto a foam board backing. What is most important to note about these pieces is their near-pristine condition. Each of these posters was never displayed on a truck or wagon and, instead, originates from the company's archives. We can't imagine a finer surviving example of any of these posters and don't know for a fact if another example of any of these posters even exits. At the very least they are extremely rare. With the exception of a few light ripples (from the mounting process) and a tiny abrasion to one of the Santa posters, all four posters are in Near Mint condition. The posters have been framed in pairs (displayed back to back, with loops at top for hanging) to total dimensions of 29 x 37 inches and can be easily removed from the frame if so desired. Total: 4 posters housed in two separate frames. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $2,115.00

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which people become full members of the Catholic Church. Full membership involves a total formation process that culminates in the Sacraments of Initiation: baptism, confirmation and Eucharist. It involves a journey of faith and conversion in which a person is introduced to the beliefs, life, liturgy and apostolic work of the Catholic Church.RCIA is designed primarily for those seeking baptism. Because baptized Christians from other denominations may be seeking membership in the Catholic Church, the RCIA process is adapted to their needs as well. RCIA is also open to baptized but "unchurched" Catholics who would like to complete their initiation into the Church by receiving confirmation. Meetings will be held on Sundays from 7 - 8:30 p.m. Contact Fr. Nick Smith at 314-977-1535 or email@example.com.

How to Request Presidential Inauguration Tickets
If you've been thinking about going to the inaugural ceremony of the 44th President of the United States, wait in line. A week or two ago, scalpers were trying to sell tickets to the inauguration on sites like StubHub and eBay for thousands of dollars. No one told the prospective buyers that tickets hadn't even been issued yet! In fact, no one has tickets to sell in the first place because they won't be issued until early January. There are only 240,000 tickets for the West Front of the Capitol, where the inauguration takes place, but most of those seats don't have much of a view either. 240,000 tickets – not many at all.
How do you get an inauguration ticket? The best thing you can do is submit a request through your state's Senators and Representatives (each are supposedly getting 200-500 a piece), though that likely will not result in much as they've all been inundated with requests. Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland, one of the Senators I requested tickets from, recently emailed me to say that they received 55,000 requests already and they are estimated to get only 400 tickets (some of which they will likely keep for themselves). All the names will be put into a drawing and winners notified in January.
- Senators: You can find your Senator by searching this list of Senators.
- Representatives: You can find your representative at "Write Your Representative" on the House.gov website.
While people recommend you locate the Senator and Representative representing your district, it probably doesn't hurt to just ask them all. I don't think it'd be worth it to ask those outside your home state though.
Expanding the area: The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the committee overseeing the inaugural, is looking into expanding the number of people allowed in the official inaugural zone (that 240k area). We'll see how that goes.
If all else fails, you can always go to the National Mall and try to catch the inauguration on a huge Jumbotron. You won't need tickets to go to the National Mall but you will have to fight with huge crowds just to get there. Most will be traveling by mass transit, probably the Metro train system, so good luck. If you aren't a fan of crowds (just to see it on a Jumbotron, no less), you can always just flip on the TV.
However you ultimately choose to view the inaugural, it'll be historic all the same.

The Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic High School Lady Marauders celebrated their senior night appropriately Monday night.
All eight of BG's graduating seniors - Halee Adams, Kayla Bates, Brittany Boslet, Devin Stessney, Elyssa Ehredt, Kristen Miller, Alexis Craig, and Lexi Luciano - saw significant playing time, and all made contributions as BG sailed past Cambria Heights, 64-33 in a Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference Section I game at the Pleasant Valley gymnasium.
The Sienna University-bound Adams shared game-scoring honors with 13 points, while Mount St. Mary's University signee Bates added 12 and Miller registered a solid 12-point, nine-rebound outing.
Stessney scored eight points, Craig hit two 3-pointers for six points, Boslet and Ehredt had five points apiece, and Luciano chipped in another 3-pointer.
"It was nice when you think about how long ago they all started playing together, and having them on all on the floor together tonight made for a great night,'' veteran BG coach Mark Moschella said of his senior players.
BG's veteran team had things pretty much its way against a young Heights squad which has only two seniors on its roster. The Lady Marauders had a 19-7 lead after one quarter and a 35-19 advantage at intermission.
Adams scored seven points in the first half, while Stessney, Craig and Miller chipped in six apiece and Bates had five.
"They're a good team,'' Heights coach Tracy Neff said of BG. "They spread the ball around, and half their players were in double digits. They should go far in the district tournament.''
BG improved to 20-1 overall and stayed unbeaten in the conference section, hiking its record there to 10-0. Miller helped the Lady Marauders fashion a 25-17 advantage in rebounds.
"Kristen Miller played strong,'' Moschella said. "She scored in double figures for us, played defense and rebounded well, and did a great job on both ends of the floor.''
Heights (8-13 overall and 3-6 in the conference section) made a mild bid to get back in the game in the third quarter, when the Lady Highlanders scored seven of the period's first 11 points to draw to within 13 points, 39-26.
But BG responded with a field goal and free throw by Adams, and Bates' 3-pointer, to take a 45-26 lead into the fourth quarter.
"We were down 16 points at halftime, and we knocked three points off that, but they rallied back,'' Neff said of BG. "They don't quit, and they can shoot well.''
BG's game Monday served as a tune-up for the Lady Marauders' showdown with crosstown rival Altoona at the Pleasant Valley gym tonight. The game will also be BG's regular-season finale.
"That will be a nice game for both of us at this time of the year,'' Moschella said. "It will be like a playoff atmosphere. It's a good way for us to end our regular season.''
Game notes: Junior Kara Cordell led Heights with 13 points, which gave her a share of the game-scoring honors with Adams ... Heights plays at Central Cambria Wednesday night.
CAMBRIA HEIGHTS (33): Snedden 3 2-6 8, Kosicki 2 1-1 6, E. Cordell 1 0-0 3, K. Cordell 4 4-4 13, Anna 1 0-0 3, Wendiekier 0 0-0 0, Link 0 0-0 0, Kozorosky 0 0-0 0 Totals - 11 7-11 33.

South Carolina's failure to reduce the state's deep, generational disparities in education and economic opportunity play out every day in the state's hospitals.
Health officials consider obesity the No. 1 health problem in a state were two thirds of adults are overweight or obese.
But the president of the state's premier hospital doesn't see it as an entirely medical issue.
To Ray Greenberg, it's a historical and social issue that manifests itself across South Carolina in "a complex web that leads to people getting sick."
He motioned over his shoulder toward MUSC's Children's Hospital. He's proud of the hospital's skill in healing children. But, he says, that's the expensive way to fix health problems that could be prevented with better prenatal care and a healthy lifestyle.
"As a society we're willing to spend a fortune on saving a life. The irony of prevention is that the better it works, the less visible it is," Greenberg says.
People have to be taught that unhealthy lifestyles lead directly to many of the state's ills and chronic medical problems. "You can't just go to the doctor and solve the problem, if they continue to live in a substandard environment."
"A danger is in treating it as a purely medical phenomenon," he says.
As a result, Greenberg has pushed MUSC to focus not just on treating people's illnesses, but also on changing the "social determinents of health ... to create a healthy population."
Two such efforts by MUSC received a major booster shot in 2011 when Boeing gave the Children's Hospital a $1 million grant to combine and expand a program to reduce childhood obesity with one to improve heart health in children and young adults.
The combined program, called The Boeing Center for Children's Wellness, works extensively with the Charleston County School District, where a recent MUSC study found that 43 percent of the children were overweight or obese, along with 70 percent of their teachers.
Dr. Janice Key, a director with the center, says Type 2 diabetes in children can have devastating, lifelong consequences. "You see children with blood vessels equivalent with those of a 55-year-old."
To help combat that, her program worked with the Charleston County School District to perform body-fat screenings and to incorporate anti-obesity and wellness awareness into daily school life.
In addition the MUSC team worked with the school district to make healthier school meals for children, especially those from poor families who don't eat balanced diets.
"They eat two meals a day at school, so if we change what they eat at school, we have changed their nutrition," Key says.
Zachery Kronsberg gave the MUSC program credit for helping him lose weight. The 12-year-old attended exercise sessions at The Citadel supervised by Boeing Center trainers.
"Working out and being active makes me feel better than sitting on the couch," Zachery says.
But he confessed that he needs the program to keep at it "because I'm very interested in staying on my couch."
Coleen Martin, a program manager with the Boeing Center, says so many children, especially from poorer communities, have no idea they are overweight or obese, or that it poses a threat to their health.
They look like many, or most, of their friends and the adults they know.
"They think they are normal."

The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office hosted its annual Shop with a Sheriff event on Saturday.
Deputies took 20 local children to Walmart and gave them each $100 to buy presents for family members, plus a little something for themselves.
"I think it's awesome that we're able to help them out and we have a really good time doing it, so I'd do it again next year," said Deputy Rebecca Wittig.
This year marks the third year the office has held the event.

Steven Hileman grew up in Geeseytown and, like many little boys, he drew lots of pictures, especially of dinosaurs.
His mother remembers one time when he drew only the dinosaur's tail, a long tail running all through the picture. It tickled her and his grandmother, who was watching him that day.
That was one of his family's first clues not only that Steven was talented in art, but that he saw the world through a painter's imaginative eye.

This painting by Steven Hileman, a Geeseytown native who now lives in Maine, is "Winter's Mantel."
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Artist Steven Hileman of Maine, shows his parents, Carol and Mark Hileman the book "Art of the National Parks," which contains photos of several pieces of his art, at Carol and Mark's Geeseytown home.
Steven, now 37, has moved with his wife, Melanie, and five children to Maine, but he and his family return to Blair County often to visit his parents, Mark and Carol Hileman.
The journey from drawing dinosaurs to an accomplished artist with his works displayed in art galleries in both Maine and Vermont, included a stop in Florida where Hileman met his wife.
Along the way, his artwork has gained recognition both in the art world and also from a growing following of collectors who are buying his paintings.
His parents first enrolled him in art lessons soon after he drew that dinosaur's tail, when he was still in kindergarten, Carol Hileman said.
"He loved drawing and he was drawing constantly around here,'' she said.
His father recalled no matter what was going on, Saturday mornings would find Steven glued to the television watching Robert Norman "Bob'' Ross.
Known for his easygoing style, the PBS painter's show, "The Joy of Painting,'' in the 1980s inspired many to take up their paintbrushes.
"He (Ross) was always talking about how to paint 'happy clouds,' '' Mark Hileman recalled.
Steven took art lessons for several years as he grew up while attending Blair County Christian School in Duncansville. But when he started seventh grade, his parents found him a teacher in Altoona whom Steven now credits with having the biggest influence on his artwork before he left for Florida.
Deborah English, who's been teaching what she calls the basics of art for 30 years to students ranging from ages 8 to 80, said Steven is a true artist who just needed some polishing when he came to her.
"He had natural raw talent and that's what's incredible,'' she said.
English said Steven knew he had some problems when he came to her, but he didn't know what was wrong.
For six years, she helped him see where he needed help. Together they started at the beginning, learning such basic things as how to properly hold a drawing pencil, how to mix colors correctly and how to draw fundamental shapes.
"He knew he was good, but he wanted to be better,'' said English, who taught him until she had taught him everything she knew.
At that point, it was time for him to move on, she said.
"It was time because then it's almost the student teaching the teacher and when that happens, they need to find someone better,'' said English, who is still active as an artist in her own right, most recently chosen as an Artist of the Month by the Altoona Area Public Library last spring.
At first Steven wasn't sure he wanted to pursue art as a career. Spirituality had always been a major factor in his life, and he initially thought he might want to follow a religious path, perhaps as a missionary. But toward the end of his freshman year at Pensacola Christian College in Florida, he decided against that option and turned toward art as his career choice.
He met his future wife, Melanie, in an art class, although it wasn't until they'd been friends for awhile that they started dating and later married. As a fellow art lover, Melanie appreciates the hard work it takes and the creative mind of an artist like her husband, she said.
"It's nice that I do have an understanding of what he does and what it's all about,'' Melanie said.
When the couple first married, Steven took a job illustrating books for a large book publisher in Florida. He also continued to paint, mostly landscapes in oil, and show his work at juried shows across the country.
They later moved to Maine, and Melanie worked as a preschool teacher so Steven could devote all of his time to painting. As children started to come, fortunately, Steven's paintings became more successful and were picked up by galleries in Maine and Vermont. Melanie now home schools the children while Steven paints full time.
He classifies his work as realist with impressionistic touches. He also said he tries to show the beauty of God's creation through his paintings. His works have won several awards and praise in the artistic community, and his paintings have been featured in many juried exhibitions throughout the country.
"I thank God that I have the opportunity to do this,'' he said.
One of his most recent achievements is having photographs of several of his paintings included in the book, "Art of the National Parks.''
The book, which was published in June and is available through Barnes & Noble, is a compilation of photographs and descriptions of several national parks in America including Acadia National Park in Maine.
"It was an honor to be in this book,'' Steven said. "I definitely feel like I'm in good company.''
Steven has painted several sites in Blair County and the paintings are for sale on his website, stevenhileman.com. He finds contrast in central Pennsylvania to the scenery around his home in coastal Maine, which he said has much more older homes.
"I like variety and I do have a connection to the area here,'' he said.

A fictitious tool. A monkey wrench has no left-handed or right-handed versions. Often used as a practical joke, i.e. telling someone to find a left-handed monkey wrench for you.
"Hey, will you go find me a left-handed monkey wrench? I need to fix this pipe."

Time Warner Cable brings RoboTech to Boys and Girls Clubs
Time Warner Cable helps students in many schools, including Irving and especially at the Singley Academy, through its Connect A Million Minds initiative. The company's latest outreach includes offering a pilot program called RoboTech at Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas.
While many after-school programs focus on the arts or athletics, RoboTech aims to introduce science and robotics to students. Plus, the program focuses on younger children, ages 6 to 13, to foster a love of science early on.
Steven Jackson facilitates the program at the Oak Cliff Boys and Girls Clubs. He brought some of the RoboTech students to Boys and Girls Clubs headquarters in Dallas Thursday to demonstrate what they've learned so far.
"Students love it," he said. "And we have 90 to 95 percent participation each week."
Kenny Murry, 10, a fifth grader at Marsalis Elementary, said it's a good opportunity to learn about robotics. He's wavering between being a scientist or a lawyer when he grows up.
Sebastian Gomez, 12, a seventh grader at Zumwalt Middle School, said he wants to be an engineer.
"It's awesome to see them move," he said about the robots.
The girls also seemed fascinated by being able to create moving contraptions. Gabriella Williams, 9, of Miller Elementary, said science is her favorite subject.

Country music legend Lynn (Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter) offers fans a window into her life with this compilation of lyrics, interspersed with colorful anecdotes and myriad photos. Though it's fascinating to hear the stories behind tunes like "Fist City" and "Coal Miner's Daughter" (complete with facsimiles of handwritten lyrics), the real gold is in the numerous unreleased songs of the book's latter half—one can only hope that numbers like "That Pleading Look" and the spunky "Still Woman Enough" will get their day in the studio with Lynn behind the microphone. Throughout, the songstress's self-effacing comments and stories ring true in her unique voice. Of her lyrics, Lynn maintains that she "only write about what lived," and so these verses and choruses make up more than merely a collection for sing-alongs; indeed, the songs tell Lynn's life story. Despite a host of accolades and decades on the stage, she remains a humble songwriter with a big heart and a gift for observant storytelling. This selection of some of country music's best-loved songs is a fine tribute to an American icon. 75,000 announced first printing. Photos. (Apr.)

SSDs are continuing the march to ever higher storage capacities and part of the march to higher capacities is ever increasing prices. Perhaps one day flash prices will come down to the point where SSDs are more in line with the price of traditional HDD storage today.
Intel has announced that it is upping the capacity of its line of SSDs to 160GB. Intel is lagging behind its competition in the capacity wars for SSDs. Intel's 160GB capacity is measly in comparison to the massive 512GB SSD that Toshiba announced recently.
At the time Toshiba made the 512GB SSD announcement, pricing for the drives was unknown. CNET News reports that Toshiba is now saying the 512GB SSD will go for $1,652. A similar capacity 2.5-inch laptop HDD sells for under $200. Toshiba's 64GB SSD, announced alongside its 512GB SSD, will sell for $220.
Intel reports that the pricing for its new 160GB 2.5-inch SSD will be $945 in lots of under 1,000. The 2.5-inch SSDs are sized for laptops and 1.8-inch versions of the drive will ship next month for ultraportable laptops according to CNET News. The new 160GB SSDs will be versions of Intel's X25-M and X18-M units.
Considering that the 80GB Intel SSD adds a whopping $659 over the cost of a 120GB HDD in the HP EliteBook 2530, the cost of admission for the new SSD with twice the capacity likely won't be appealing to most consumers.
quote: The fact that -everything- on the system is snappy, extremely responsive is a huge advantage and extremely pleasant. Considering i load huge maps and other things dozens of times a day, the fact that im not sitting waiting for even half as long sometimes is a nice luxury.
quote: All you seem to be doing is trying to convince yourself, like others that rated you up, that these arnt much better than a fast HDD, simply becuse you cannot afford them.
quote: So thats fine, what happens when they fall to half the price? Or a price YOU like? Your list suddenly alters to have a positive impact because you suddenly want the product and all those small numbers you pretend are the result of this SSD get a reality check
quote: Bottom line, if you cant afford it, shut up defending your current hardware. No one cares and EVERYONE wants one of these.

The compact old core of the village is located in the vicinity of the protestant church buit in 1686. The tower of this church was replaced nearly 100 years later, because it was too weak for a third bell. The old farms form lanes and squares, and in the main square water flows into a large fountain trough, which serves even today as a drinking trough for cattle.
Idyllic mountain villages, alpine meadows, the flora and fauna and of course the magnificent views of the mountain world entice visitors to hike, bike and enjoy the pleasant surroundings. A very popular adventure for the entire family is the Adventure Hiking Path Tilla in Präz. The girl Tilla invites her friends to an exciting adventure tour at the castle ruins of Heinzenberg and there is a wonderful picnic spot where one can enjoy a leisurely picnic.
The skiing area of Sarn-Heinzenberg is sunny and family-friendly: there are 20 kilometers of pistes, a chair lift, a ski lift, a magic carpet, a toboggan run, three restaurants and two snow bars, a snow sport school and a rental center. Toboggan fans appreciate mountain transportation via chairlift and look forward to swooshing nearly 4 kilometers down the toboggan run. Winter hikers and snowshoe hikers enjoy the marvelous view of the valley and the Graubünden mountain world.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Officers called Thursday night to an Ambrose Avenue home for "a lot of commotion" and a man beating a woman got more than they bargained for.
As they approached the house, officers could hear screaming and yelling and, after knocking on the door, saw several people running past a living room window and up a staircase.
Looking through a window, Patrolman Greg Smith reported seeing a man placing a 2-by-4 board against the front door while another man did the same to the door on which Smith had been knocking.
Chief John Lane said later that a system had been built inside the doors to allow the boards to be slipped behind wood blocks so the doors could not be opened.
As Smith continued knocking and advising he was there to investigate a domestic dispute, people inside told him they were not opening the door.
While waiting on other officers to arrive, Smith saw three men running up and down the stairs and, when other officers came on the scene, one of the men fled by jumping out a second story window onto a roof and then off the roof to the ground, where he eluded Smith, heading toward Bradshaw Avenue.
Officers from St. Clair Township were called to assist and those inside were cautioned to either open up or the township K-9 officer Axel would be sent inside, but they still refused to open the door.
A battering ram was used to open the door and St. Clair K-9 officer Chris Davis and Axel went inside with city police Capt. Tom Clark, where they reported finding two men and small child in the doorway to the kitchen.
The two men, Dennis D. White, 25, and James T. Keys, 26, were taken into custody and charged with obstructing official business, as well as for outstanding warrants.
Meanwhile, the child's mother, Amanda Delay, arrived on the scene and he was released to her. She reportedly told officers she had left him with Keys but had no idea who else was inside the residence while she was gone.
Officers reported finding in plain view on the kitchen counter a digital scale and box of baggies.
Axel alerted near a vacuum cleaner in the kitchen, and officers discovered inside the device a baggie of marijuana, according to reports.
When searched, Keys reportedly had $553 in his pocket, along with batteries missing from the digital scale and the cover from the scale.
Asked how he came by the cash, Keys initially told officers from his job but when asked about his job, said the money came from his aunt, then said he won it playing a video game, they reported.
The money was seized as evidence.

Hey True Believers!
Today I have a fun, EOTD (Eye of the Day) for you that kind of fits into the Halloween theme for this month. I chose to do an EOTD inspired by Jessica Drew's Spider-Woman. Spiders and Halloween are a natural match!🙂
I based this more on her costume, than her costume and powers as the green of her venom blasts just didn't look right thrown in there. I also did a variant with lower lashes, and then some shots without. I didn't know which I liked more so I'm putting them both in here!🙂
Also, Lime Crime was kind enough to send me three eyeliners, two of which are brand new and unreleased called Rhyme and Reason to try out. I used Rhyme in this look as the gold liner above the black liner.
Rhyme and Reason will be officially announced and available as a discounted set for a 24-hour window ONLY October 22-23. After the 24 hours, they will be gone until their permanent return this Holiday Season.
Anyway, I hope you all like!

****ing hippies...
****ing hippies...
Having said that, I think this post is ridiculously reckless and irresponsible. To actually recommend certain drugs in such a wholesale, blanketly-stated, manner is troublesome to me.
I have seen people recreationally use certain drugs and do just fine with the occasional entertainment value. I have also seen people that simply lack whatever discipline is necessary to keep things recreational.
I feel I am strong enough mentally to never abuse drugs, however, having watched my own dad lack the discipline to keep things reasonable, I decided to never even try certain things (cocaine, acid, etc). He got consumed by it .. not like a junkie or anything, but he abused them recreationally and I KNOW it negatively impacted his life. He twice beat all of it just to have someone recklessly tell him to just do it one more time and don't do it again ... didn't work that way for him.
I'm not saying no one should do drugs. I am saying that it sickens me to hear you suggest that 'everyone' should try it at least once. Problem is, you're only speaking to those who haven't yet tried it at least once. Those that are 'strong' enough to not get caught up in it will be fine, but will likely have already made up their minds to refrain and will not be persuaded by your advice. The person that is likely to give it a roll, that hasn't before, based on such a reckless suggestion, is also more likely to the person that lacks the fortitude to keep it low key.
I'm not attacking you, promise. As I said earlier, I understand the context and don't believe you mean any harm, whatsoever. I realize this is just a Jazz forum and no one is likely to run out to the street corner for drugs to try, just once. I still had to speak my mind.
Notice the last paragraph you quoted.
I also believe drugs should be mediated by shaman-like people who know and respect a drug's power.
I don't support douches doing drugs with other douches.
I'm sorry to hear about your father. I'm guessing he had a lot more going on than the mere ingestion of drugs. But, I stand by what I said; certain drugs can teach you something about yourself if you have the power and the right milieu.

My dad was awesome. Everyone loved him and being around him. He was very bright, successful, incredibly charismatic, and doted on his family. He wasn't the product of the wrong crowd or anything like that .. it just seemed to effect him differently and his highly addictive personality. I'm glad he died being the crazy dude he was, though, and not by cancer or something. Very glad about that.
Maybe it wasn't respectful enough, actually. I didn't mean to imply one negative thing about your dad. Please note.
There is a dangerous side to this stuff, for sure. Recognizing the power you ingest and therefore yield is an important part in deciding when and how to use. And, an important part of feeling your way thru healing effects.
Crazy fun dudes (and I've known many) can be rough with these subtleties. But what would we do without them?

Yes, I do, and it's not really a secret around here.
And now it's legal (at least by the state) here, yay.

I didn't take anything offensively, whatsoever, from what you said. I just provided further explanation so that people understand you can't necessarily 'spot' a guy that would abuse drugs. My dad didn't look like a guy that couldn't handle it.. that's all I was saying.
So all of Jazzfanz are on drugs...... Explains a lot.
I do not agree that weed isnt addictive. Yes it is. Weed users are just in denial. If it isnt addictive then why do pot heads smoke everyday?
Why do fat ****s eat **** food everyday?

DAH-PULL-DANG-ER (pronoun) is an interchangeable term typically used to describe an indescribable object generally that one was just using and now cannot find, furthermore and for whatever reason, the individual cannot articulate what exactly said item was only further compounding the verbal breakdown.

As a fresh blanket of snow whitewashed the grounds surrounding the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens on Monday, dozens of children inside were getting their hands dirty, as only children can.
They potted seeds, ground wheatberries to make dough, strung toasted oat cereal onto pipe cleaners to use as birdfeeders and created artwork by dipping "stamps" of apple wedges, potatoes and stalks of broccoli into paint.
That's the point of the Weg- mans Family Garden, which celebrated its grand opening inside an 800-square-foot greenhouse adjacent to the outdoor children's garden. The indoor, hands-on learning garden grew out of a $45,000 grant from the Rochester supermarket chain that was supplemented by another $1,000 donated by employees.
Saturday mornings, the garden will host nutrition- and food-themed programs for kids ages 4 to 10.
"You get to the root of where their food comes from," said Theresa Jackson, consumer affairs manager for Wegmans' Buffalo Division. "Our hope is that will translate into making healthy choices in their daily life."
Though the diminutive scale of the activity stations was designed with children in mind, the folks at the botanical gardens hope it will become a popular family attraction.
"We wanted it to be for all people – all families," said Lynn Wieser, director of education.
The transformation of the space occurred over a period of several months last year.
"It was a growing house, filled with benches where we would be growing all sorts of plants for various shows," said David J. Swarts, president and chief executive officer of the botanical gardens. "We cleaned it all out."
The electrical system and flooring were redone. Custom covers were fabricated for the heating units to make them child-friendly.
A test run in late December revealed that more manpower would be helpful, Wieser said
"We were surprised at how many families would just come in here and make it their day," said Wieser.
Features also include a sandbox, a coloring station, a small fountain surrounded by water-loving plants, planting beds for herbs and vegetables, and an old-fashioned water pump where kids can fill a bucket to water plants. Plus, there's a sink for the young gardeners to wash their hands.
"We are so fortunate to have so many volunteers that can help out," Swarts said.
Over at a potting bench, Megan Tresco of Williamsville coached her 3½-year-old son, A.J., as he placed potting soil and seeds into a tiny terra cotta pot, then added a splash from a watering can.
"This is wonderful. Now it will get us here more often," said Tresco, who was chaperoning a group that included not only her children but some from her neighborhood.
Nearby, 3-year-old Megan Cirbus, of Lackawanna, held a purple plastic pail beneath the spigot of the water pump as another youngster worked the handle.
"We're used to going to the outside children's garden," said Megan's mother, Cindy Cirbus. "It's nice to have something to come to in the wintertime."
The Wegmans Family Garden will be open year-round, providing an indoor alternative to the outdoor children's garden, which is open from late May until October. For more information on Saturday programs and admission fees, visit www.buffalogardens.com.

"Sunday was the exhibition. There were wonderful solo performances from the top finishers and invited Japanese skaters, combined with group numbers choreographed by Japanese choreographers. Team USA opened the second half with a splendid performance using large purple chiffon scarves as props!"
Not 100% clear to me whether she means that the Team USA group number was one of the ones that had Japanese choreographers, but maybe so?

This five-day festival is held annually in November at Smit, the capital of the Khyrem Syiemship near Shillong for thanksgiving to the Goddess Ka Blei Synshar for a rich harvest and prosperity of the people. An important part of this festival is goat sacrifice made to the deity of Shillong peak. Khasi men and women, dressed in traditional splendour, perform the famous Nongkrem dance.

This is Why You Don't Steal from Cracked
Like Professor Young, I don't like plagiarists. Also like Professor Young, I am an ardent supporter of less-than-conventional means of punishment. Unlike Professor Young, though, I do not want to get fired, so let me state for the record that I had nothing to do with any of the immature examples of retaliation you will soon read about in this article. I can't imagine who might be responsible.
Someone handsome and witty, I'd guess, and with just a hint of Spider-Man-like qualities.
El Grafico, a Mexican Newspaper, stole Jeff Kelly's article on Sex Myths Explained by Science. Even though they're getting traffic and ad sales due to the article, El Grafico didn't come up with the idea- Jeff did. And they didn't do the research- Jeff did. Hey, you know what else they didn't do?
They didn't upload their own images.
They linked directly to our images. The images in our server, that we have access to. For those not too familiar with how image hosting works, this basically means that, if we make any changes to the images on our end, the new, edited images would show up on their site. (It's explained a little bit better in this article.)
With this in mind, it would appear that any clever, enterprising and well-endowed Cracked employee could easily alter those images, as sort of a public embarrassment to El Grafico for being such lazy, thieving fucking cowards.
Now, I'm not saying I would do this- though I do fit all the aforementioned criteria- I'm just not really tech-savvy enough. I couldn't, say, look at their article where they've linked to one of our images...
...and subtly alter it in anyway.
Nope. Wouldn't know anything about that. I'll admit, it sure is funny, though. And clever. Let's see what other neat little photoshopping tricks I wouldn't know anything about.
Before proceeding, I'd like to point out that, regardless of whether or not the article in question is taken down by the time of this publishing these are actual screengrabs from El Grafico's actual website (Editor's Note: It has not been taken down as of 9:20 AM EST. You can still see these images up on the actual article at the above link.).
Boy, that El Grafico sure does seem to love Nazis. But, again, I wouldn't know anything about this image-tampering. I certainly wouldn't know who's enormous dick shadow that is, looming ominously over that happy couple, (though if I did know anything, I would add that there's plenty more where that came from).
Alright, let's see what other images show up on their article.
Hey, is that Disco Bernie, the World's Oldest Male Stripper? It is! At first glance, he might seem like an inappropriate image choice for this article, but, you should know, the literal translation of "El Grafico" is "We Love Cocks and Nazis," so it's actually a perfect fit.
Okay, the next entry on the list is about cousins. Now, in our version of this article, we used a picture of George Michael and Maeby from Arrested Development. Let's see what El Grafico went with.
Hitler again? The Nazi's lost, El Grafico, get over it already. Sheesh! Also, Hitler marrying a horse? I'm with whatever sexy and brilliant humorist wrote the caption for that photo; that just doesn't make any sense. Does "cousin" mean something different in Spanish? Oh well. Let's move on to the last image in the article.
Hey, a helpful little message about plagiarism! How sweet. I do want to point out that, in the background of this image, the dude with the afro is wearing a Swastika. It's subtle, but it's totally there.
Not that I know that because I had anything to do with this photoshop or anything. I mean, if I was in any way associated with this image, I'd be able to tell you that the dude also has a photoshopped Hitler mustache that went largely unnoticed due to the placement of the words. Had I worked on this, I would admit that the meticulous detailing that I put into the Hitler 'stache was probably a waste of time in retrospect.
If this was the first time someone had stolen from us, perhaps I wouldn't have reacted this way. But that's just not the case.
People have been ripping us off for a while, which may come as a surprise to you. Maybe you think plagiarism is reserved for Scientific Journals, or Physics Tests, or, really, anything other than a site that deals largely with pop culture, celebrities I want to have sex with, and dick jokes. You'd be wrong. A while back, FM 105.1 ripped off an Ian Cheesman article and was soundly dealt with. Some site named Myhumors, quite ironically, took humor that wasn't theirs by posting several of our articles without permission or credit to the source. Funnbee.com illegally posted one of our articles, (which is bad enough in its own right), but what made it infinitely worse was that it was my article, and I keep my shit extremely real.
Needless to say, they took it down.
Both the Northern Star and some Croatian website, the name of which I could not pronounce without some kind of profound tongue surgery, stole Lisa Skye's article about Music Trends That Must Be Stopped.
There's more, but, the bottom line, folks, is that people like stealing from us. Maybe they do it because they think it doesn't bother us (it does), or that we won't catch them (we will), or maybe they just think "Hey, it's the internet- Regular laws don't apply here," an argument I will be sure to remember when I'm beating them to death for stealing one of my articles.
A lot of the sites who have plagiarized simply remove the stolen article once we send over a menacing, legal-sounding cease-and-desist letter. The Northern Star went as far as to fire the stolen article's "author."
So what do you do if you're tired of sending cease-and-desist letters, or if they're just not enough? Blogger and One-of-The-Smartest-Guys-On-The-Internet Ryan Holiday advocates writing a simple email and moving on, which is certainly classy and mature, but still, not enough for me. Plus, there's no code you can put in an email that'll make a picture of a giant dick shadow show up on somebody's website. (Trust me.)
But this is really aggravating. I mean, sure, we mostly write about bullshit, and, sure, there are spelling errors in just about every arcticle we publish, but make no mistake: We work hard here. Articles are workshopped, researched, written and edited. Photo research is done, and in some cases, photoshopping is done, sometimes very extensive and time-consuming photoshopping.
Did you think this picture just happened?!
Getting furious whenever someone lays claim to creative work that is not their own is not an overreaction. Anyone who has ever put work into anything can agree to that. And if people keep stealing our articles, I'm just gonna keep putting pictures of dicks on their websites, and if they don't link to our images directly, I'm just gonna flood their inboxes with even more dicktures, graphic ones at that, and if they don't link directly to our images and they don't have an email address listed, then I am going to track them down and mail them severed dicks.
I mean, "I" in the ambiguous sense. Like, "I or someone like me," but not me, of course. I had nothing to do with all those pictures.
