Global food security
Global food security is of growing concern in the light of population expansion and climate change predictions. There are around 7,000 plant species used as food crops globally, but just 12 of these account for roughly 80% of global consumption.
Conserving the genetic diversity of the most important food plants is vital for breeding crop plants that are able to face future environmental challenges. The Millennium Seed Bank of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Global Crop Diversity Trust have joined forces in a project to collect, conserve and make available for use the genetic diversity in the wild species related to major food crops.
This project - Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Collecting, Protecting and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives (CWR Project) - supports national institutes around the world in collecting and safeguarding priority crop wild relatives. Seed Collecting Guides have been developed to provide collectors in the field with as much information as possible about these wild plants, so that they are able to find them and collect their seeds.
The Vietnam Seed Collecting Guide contains information on 17 different crop wild relatives, including distant cousins of banana, apple, pigeonpea, aubergine, rice and sweet potato. The collecting guide contains a description of what the target plants look like, when they are going to have ripe seeds, where they are found, and also has photos to help identification.

This wild relative of banana is found in evergreen forests and ravines. Unlike cultivated bananas, it has large seeds (up to 7 mm) and the skin of the fruit is pink rather than yellow.
Training in Vietnam
Members of RGB Kew's Seed Conservation Department headed to Hanoi in Vietnam to lead a training course for delegates from Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal and Vietnam.
The week-long training course on collecting, handling and long-term conservation of seeds of wild species related to crops was hosted by the Vietnamese Plant Resources Center and funded through the Sfumato Foundation. It provided a thoroughly enjoyable and educational introduction to the world of wild species seed conservation, highlighting the difference between this approach (wild species, long-term conservation) and that of agricultural genebanks (cultivated species, short-term conservation).
In the lecture room, the science behind long-term seed conservation was explained, enabling participants to understand how factors such as temperature, seed moisture and seed development would affect the longevity of seeds in storage. Fieldwork planning was outlined, detailing how to target species and areas for collection, the genetic basis of sampling strategies, and how to use seed collecting guides.
In the field
We then moved from the lecture room to the field to put the theory into practice. In the Ba Vi Mountains National Park, to the west of Hanoi, participants were able to:
- assess the quality of potential seed collections
- choose appropriate sampling strategies
- make collections of seeds, herbarium specimens and associated data
- choose appropriate post-harvest seed handling methods
Putting theory into practice - fieldwork in the Ba Vi Mountains National Park: negotiating the terrain; making a herbarium voucher; collecting target species.
The many challenges facing seed collectors in the field soon became apparent. Finding a target species when it is growing in inhospitable terrain or is widely dispersed is not always that easy. When you have found it, a plant may have many fruits on it, but how many seeds are in that fruit, and how many of those seeds are fully developed and likely to germinate? The importance of checking seed viability using a seed cut test was demonstrated, together with seed number calculations which determine whether an adequate sample can be collected from the target population without impacting on the wild population's survival.
The practical session continued the following day when the material collected in the field was cleaned and counted at the Plant Resources Center. Here a variety of species requiring different cleaning techniques were used, and different winnowing methods were shared by participants.

Local culture
While in Vietnam our hosts from the Plant Resources Center ensured that the course ran smoothly, that everyone was looked after and that we sampled Vietnamese culture. This included introducing participants to the wonders of Vietnamese cuisine, and organising an optional excursion after the course had finished to the World Heritage site, Halong Bay.
Meal times and the excursion proved an invaluable time for networking among participants. At the end of the week, they left not only with their newly-acquired knowledge of seed collecting, handling and long-term conservation of wild species, but also with new friendships and an air of excitement about participating in the Crop Wild Relatives Project.

Testimonials from course participants
- 'For me, this course is really beneficial and gives me such an unforgettable experience. It deepens my understanding of managing and maintaining our genebank.'
- 'Many thanks for your lectures, your experiences and your hospitality.'
- 'I express all my admiration for Kew who organised this course.'

Summary: In all of the West Nile virus (WNV) compartmental models in the literature, the basic reproduction number serves as a crucial control threshold for the eradication of the virus. However, our study suggests that backward bifurcation is a common property shared by the available compartmental models with a logistic type of growth for the population of host birds. There exists a subthreshold condition for the outbreak of the virus due to the existence of backward bifurcations. We first review and give a comparison study of the four available compartmental models for the virus, and focus on the analysis of the model proposed by G. Cruz-Pacheco et al. [Bull. Math. Biol. 67, No. 6, 1157 ff (2005)] to explore the backward bifurcation in the model. Our comparison study suggests that the mosquito population dynamics itself cannot explain the occurrence of the backward bifurcation, it is the higher mortality rate of the avian host due to the infection that determines the existence of backward bifurcations.

text: Hi guys! I'm %100 sure that my stats were botched on April 30. My pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu, who won in impressive fashion, was not included in my totals for yesterday even though I am sure that I had moved him to an active roster position the day before and was monitoring him throughout the game, however, somehow right now it showed him as being on my "bench" for Tuesday's games and so his stats were not counted! Can someone suggest what I should do to get his points back?

In England again, Simon becomes entangled in the barons' revolt against King Henry's misrule. Rescuing the Provisions of Oxford which, on fragile wax tablets, set forth a program for elective government, he makes the new system the law of the land, establishing modern democracy.

Slim Away 08Feb12
When I first saw the Slim Away on TV, I thought it was just another product to wear under clothing to smooth out the shape of your body. But, as the commercial for the Slim Away continued I realized that it is not simply just a body shaper, but that you can wear the Slim Away during your workout to more rapidly lose excess water weight. Interesting concept—the Slim Away help to hold in body heat and make you sweat more to make your workouts more effective and product greater results. I wondered if it would be bulky and uncomfortable to wear during a workout or even while just sitting at desk or going about my normal every day routine.
I had almost forgotten about the Slim Away until yesterday when I was at the gym. I noticed a woman in the locker room zipping up her Slim Away. I wanted to ask her if she enjoyed using it but was too shy. I did notice that I could not tell she was wearing it under her workout gear. Luckily, I heard another woman approach her and ask her about it. She said it was really helping her to keep motivated and work out more regularly.
I'm thinking of adding the Slim Away to my workout routine. I'll keep you posted!

Definitely a good product from a good company. Good luck to testers.
The reps on AM (Idunk, Jmh, and myself) had absolutely no hand in picking the testers on bb.com. You keep amazing logs so I have no idea why you didn't get picked, possibly because youre taking like 15 other supplements at the same time.Originally Posted by FitnFirm

Stricter voter identification is proposed
A Missouri House committee approved measures yesterday to create one of the strictest voter photo identification requirements in the country.
The change would require unexpired Missouri-issued or federal photographic identification.
According to the Post Dispatch, bill sponsor Rep. Tony Dugger says the opportunity for voter fraud needed to be stopped to maintain the integrity of elections in the state.
There are only nine states that require photo identification to vote.
The limited number of documents accepted under the Missouri proposal would make it stricter than all but two states, Indiana and Texas. Expired drivers licenses and school-issued photo IDs would not be accepted.
Only nonexpired Missouri or federal photo ID would be accepted under the proposal. Secretary of State Jason Kander opposes the measure. Currently, about 220,000 registered voters would not have the required ID cards.
Kander to announce 'major securities action'
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander is preparing to announce what he calls a "major securities action" that involves millions of dollars.
Kander scheduled a news conference Thursday at the Old Post Office in St. Louis. His office says Kander will seek restitution, civil penalties and fees and costs, but no other details have been released.
The secretary of state's office is Missouri's chief overseer and enforcer of securities laws intended to protect investors from unfair practices and fraudulent schemes.
Missouri panel recommends early voting expansion
The bipartisan commission released its recommendations Thursday for overhauling Missouri's voting laws.
Missouri now allows people to vote by mail only if they meet certain conditions, such as a disability or absence from their district on election day. The commission says voters should be allowed to mail their ballots without such restrictions.
It also recommends requiring all local election authorities to establish one location where voters can cast ballots in-person beginning six weeks before election day. For presidential elections, highly-populated areas would be required to establish an additional polling place for early voting.
The 11-member commission is made up of local election authorities, attorneys and former lawmakers.
Members picked for Missouri early voting commission
Missouri now lets voters cast absentee ballots only if they swear they cannot go to the polls on Election Day or meet other, limited criteria. But the state has no general provision for early voting, which Kander says could help ease long lines at the polls.
Kander's appointed commission will meet throughout February to study the merits of early voting and evaluate what he says would be the efficient, fair and secure way to allow the practice.
Besides county clerks, the panel also includes former state lawmakers, the mayor of Joplin, a county elections director and private citizens.

Hallsville mayoral election proved to be exciting last night with incumbent Ben Austene running against new comer Cheri Reisch.
Columbia voters passed the school bond issue by a margin of 23 percent. This means a twelve cent increase on every 100 dollars a Columbia resident pays in property taxes. School board member Jonathan Sessions says this bond will go towards building a new elementary school and eliminating trailers at the elementary level. School board members attribute the success of the bond issue to the board's communication with voters.
Columbians elected Michael Trapp as the next Second Ward Councilman. Trapp led with 44 percent of the votes against candidates Bill Pauls and Mike Atkinson who came in second and third respectively.
Supporters of Barbara Hoppe congratulated her for her victory in the 6th ward council race at her watch party in downtown Columbia. After hearing the final results, Hoppe said her victory shows what kind of campaign the citizens want.
Michael Trapp has won the Second Ward seat on the Columbia City Council, taking 44 percent of the vote to Bill Pauls' 36 percent and Mike Atkinson's 20 percent.
Polls just closed in mid Missouri and KBIA is following the results. We're closely following the two Columbia city council races, two Columbia school board races and two Columbia ballot measures to fund area schools. Check this live post for regular updates and results.
Governor Jay Nixon will travel to Brazil this month on a trade mission. The trip comes on the heels of the news that Missouri saw its strongest year ever for exports in 2011. The governor will travel with a delegation of business leaders hoping to expand their exports to the South American nation. According to the governor's office, several Missouri businesses are expected to negotiate contracts with Brazilian customers during the trip.
Novinger, a small town west of Kirksville, is voting Tuesday on a proposition that would implement the town's first ever sales tax. The proposed tax is a 1% sales tax and is estimated to raise between $10,000 and $15,000 annually.
The President of the United States may not be on the ballot, but there is still an important election in Columbia Tuesday. Voters in Columbia's second and sixth wards will be electing new City Council members, while the rest of the city will vote on two new school board members and new tax levies. Columbia resident David Harrison said he'll stick to voting on the issues.
"The school bond issues, my ward is not even in the elections this time. I am mostly just voting for the school bonds and the levies," Harrison said.

Water grabs, conflicts and painful choices: Tim Rutten
More than a little blood has been shed in California's bitter water wars.The conspiracies spawned by our internecine conflicts over water have been so intricate and, often, breathtakingly shameless that they've become the stuff of literary inspiration and political legend.Think Los Angeles' surreptitious accumulation of farmers' water rights in the Owens Valley or San Francisco's successful campaign to turn the Hetch Hetchy Valley — the...
Gentrification and affordable housing can coexist in Los Angeles: Richard J. Riodan and Tim Rutten
Gentrification is fundamentally reshaping cities across America, including Los Angeles. The question is: Is that a good thing, a bad thing — or just a facet of the evolving urban scene that's bound to occur whatever its effect? The quick answer is that we really don't know, because few cities have had a thorough public debate over the issue and fewer still have adopted zoning or planning regulations that declare a civic consensus on the process. In Los Angeles,...

I got an interesting question recently on routing, which lead to an even more interesting question on how to do the opposite. This turns out to offer a pretty good look at some important details of how routing works under the hood. First, here's the question: I have a scenario where I've got an MVC application and I need to put a static HTML file in the root of the site (to work with a third party). Is there a way that I can specify in an MVC app that I want to not reroute requests to the html page? i.e. suppose I have myfile.html in the root of my MVC app, how do I make it so the MVC magic doesn't try to redirect my request?

Until now Apple had no real competition for the MacBook Air, but times have changed, the ultrabooks are attacking Apple MacBook Air's supremacy every day. The ultrabook is an ultra portable laptop design to be very thin and light but with a very strong configuration, to have a long battery life, to use the new generation of Intel ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processors and to cost less than 1000 dollars, in other words the ultrabooks represents Intel's plan to copy Apple's success. So will Apple MacBook Air ultrabook be beaten at his own game?
What do you do with something that is already very good? You make it better! So in July 2011 the 4th generation of Apple MacBook Air ultrabook was released in two almost identical versions, an 11.6 -inch one and a 13.3-inch one, both have 0.68 inch/1.7 cm at maximum thickness point and the thinness goes up to 0.11 inch/0.3 cm, the 11.6 inch weighs 2.38 pounds/1.08 kg while the 13.3 inch one is a little bit heavier weighing 2.96 pounds/1.35 kg.
Once you open the new MacBook Air you will see a very thin FaceTime camera, a LED-backlit glossy widescreen display and an absent feature in previous generations that is back: the backlit keyboard, the MacBook Air has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the display and keyboard. The Multi-Touch trackpad is large and works perfectly with OS X Lion, you can navigate using only finger gestures.
When it comes to connectivity you'll have 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 technology, and when it comes to ports you'll have a microphone, a headphone jack, an USB 2.0 port and the MagSafe port, you can find all these ports on the left side, on the right side you get an SD card slot (only on the 13.3 inch model), a USB 2.0 port and a Thunderbolt port. The Thunderbolt technology has a transfer speed of up to 10 gigabits per second, supports DisplayPort, and you can also use it for an external hard drive. There are few Thunderbolt peripherals right now, and they're expensive, but that's going to change soon.
The configuration of the new MacBook Air is very good, in fact is 2.5 times faster than the previous generation, because uses the new generation of Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, you can have up to 4GB DDR3 of RAM and up to 256GB of flash storage, the graphics will be performed by Intel HD Graphics 3000. Apple says that the battery of new MacBook Air last up to 5 hour on the 11.6 inch model and up to 7 hours on the 13.3 inch one, both models will last up to 30 days in standby mode.
Apple kept the prices from the previous generation of MacBook Air, so the 11.6 inch base model with Intel Core i5, 2 GB of RAM, and 64GB of flash storage will cost $999 and the cheapest 13.3 inch one cost $1299 with Intel Core i5, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of flash storage. But if you buy them from Amazon you'll find the 11.6 one at $939.99 and the 13.3 inch one at $1,234.99.
So is Apple MacBook Air ultrabook the best ultrabook? Well if you are an Apple OS user this should be your first and only choice.
Models and pricing
Let's end this short review of the 2011 MacBook Air with a list of main specs for the two models, together with pricing and links towards the best deals at this time. Double check with your favorite stores for the best pricing, you don't have to trust us :)

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
There are two main issues here:
a) As for women spending the night (or longer time) outside their house without a mahram, this would be permitted if the conditions are safe, and no fitna or harm is feared. In fact, scholars have allowed for women to be dropped off in another country by their mahram for the sake of religious learning, as long the above conditions are met.
b) Qiyam al-Layl programs. These have two aspects to them:

We've heard of cat cafes, dog cafes and sleep cafes, but there's a new café in town and it's owl-ready making the news. Why would anyone give a hoot? Because it puts customers face to beak with nighttime's favorite feathered friends – owls.
The owl cafe/store is located on Tsukishima island, in Chuo, Tokyo. Patrons can hang out with a variety of owls, feed them or shop for owl-themed goods.
Owls aren't really known for being the most docile of animals, but these guys seem pretty chill.
What do you guys think? Would you hang with owls?

Safe to put moldy dishes in the dishwasher?
I have a CorningWare dish which had food left in it for way too long. The food was moldy and I scraped that out. There is mold growing in the dish it's self too. I had bleach inside the container all day and there are a couple spots at the top the bleach could not reach.
Is it safe to put this container in the dishwasher with the mold still attached?
Should I run it through the dishwasher with bleach instead of soap?
Alright, what should I do instead?

5 Responses to "Safe to put moldy dishes in the dishwasher?"
Allot of peple are saying don't put bleach in the dishwasher because you might damage the gaskets. I never thought of that before, I do it once in awile when I'm in your situtaion. Probably about a 1/4 cup or less. So far no problems with it but maybe they are right.
I like the faint smell of bleach. It "says" clean. -
Mold tends to stick to things. First, the dish probably wouldn't get thoroughly cleaned and may leave an unhealthy residue on your dish. Second, it may spread in your dishwasher and contaminate other things.
Yes, You can use soap & add about a half cup bleach.=)
yes even if the bleach just touched the mold but did not remove it it is dead, most dish washers get very hot water for washing, i wouldn't add bleach to the dish washer im not sure what it would do to your gaskets.
I would rinse it off first. because if it's really stuck to your dishes, a dishwasher won't be able to get it off. Dishwashers by themselves don't get hot enough to kill mold. They only get up to about 160 degrees. To be hot enough to kill mold, it would need to get up to 220 degrees. And I definitely would NOT recommend using bleach inside your dishwasher. It's not designed for it and could possibly damage your dishwasher. Not to mention you'll have a strong bleach smell throughout your home.
Edit: If they're really moldy, your best bet would be to wash them by hand and then after washing them, fill sink with water and add a cup of bleach and let dishes soak for a few minutes. Then rinse dishes off.

California metallers THE HUMAN ABSTRACT appear to have gone on indefinite hiatus following the band's recent split with both vocalist Travis Richter and eOne Music, the label that released the group's third full-length album, "Digital Veil".
In a recent post on his Facebook page, THE HUMAN ABSTRACT bassist Henry Selva stated about the band's current status, "We are not looking for a new vocalist. We are not touring anytime soon. I think it's only fair you guys know that we're on 'break' or 'hiatus,' if you will." He added, "I don't know why we haven't [made an official announcement about this. I guess it's because there is always that 'maybe if something happens, etc… etc…' Or maybe it's hard for us to realize the reality of our situation, the band's situation, to finally let go. "I'll be honest when I say the folllowing: PERIPHERY and NEVER SAY DIE were our last tours together as a band. "It was amazing experience while it lasted. "Dean [Herrera, guitar] is going back to USC to further his education. "A.J. [Minette, guitar], as you know, will always continue writing and teaching. "Brett [Powell, drums], I am sure, has something up his sleeve. "Thank you to everyone who came out to show their love for the band and the music. "I'm proud to say that I got to perform and record alongside such amazing musicians." "Digital Veil" sold around 3,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 177 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at position No. 5 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.THE HUMAN ABSTRACT Goes On Hiatus

Gent Las Vegas Shoot August 2008 Wow! Where do I begin? This was one of the most grueling, yet fun-filled, two weeks of work I've ever endured! I was up in Las Vegas to help Anton Fury, Gent editor and photographer for several magazines, with a two-week long and 12 to 16 hour a day shoot. Mistress Rhiannon, the Associate Editor of Gent, D-Cup, Busty Beauties and other Magna publications, books ALL the models for ALL the shoots. Any girls wanting to appear in Gent or any other Magna publication should contact her at 973-669-8042 or email@example.com. Early the morning of August 14th I loaded up and took off for Las Vegas. Driving up was a lot of fun with Bunny De La Cruz who was booked by Rhiannon to do a few sets and short films. Bunny travels with a little dog named "Dirt" who is smaller than one of Bunny's tits... MUCH smaller. Dirt is so small that if he poops in the house it's so tiny it doesn't matter. When Bunny and I got to Las Vegas we found the house that Anton rented was right off the freeway and 5 minutes from the airport. I did some PA work on this trip as well as interviewing and in front of camera work, and was glad to see we were so close to McCarran Airport. It was convenient to have a girl call when she landed and by the time she got her bag and walked out I was already there waiting. And it's not hard to recognize these girls at the airport, even if I didn't know them, by the size of the melons under their shirt. When we pulled in to the house, Anton was already shooting the first model, Domonique Flowers. I had written to Domonique on MySpace several times because we have friends in common and I was delighted to finally meet her in the flesh! I love the young-Betty-Page-with-tats look Domonique sports. Stephanie Danderson was the makeup artist at the house and did a great job the whole two weeks! She liked to pull her boobs out and play grab-ass with us but was completely professional when it called for it. She's available for bookings as a licensed Aesthetician and make up artist. You can contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com and 702-275-3246 - tell her Steve Nelson sent you. Lawrik, new talent from New York, was there with Anton to share the PA slot and handle things both in front of and behind the camera. He would film short clips on video in one part of the house as Anton was shooting sets in another. Next girl in was Alexis May who has the most delightful English accent! She and Domonique were being shot concurrently. When one set was done we left the lights up for the next girl and moved from room to room. The pace was fast and furious. I got a kick out of watching Anton in action and have learned quite a bit about photography and lighting from observing him. The third and last girl shooting that day was one of my favorites, Minka. It was good to see her again. We ended up talking more about tennis in her interview than anything else. Day two we shot Rucca Page, Mia Starr, and a new girl from Wichita, Staci Stacked. I should point out this is the feature dancer Mia Starr and not the new porn chick who took her name. Mia has been around for several years now and looks better than ever with her slim and stacked figure, beautiful face and long Latina hair. Rucca reminds me of Kay Parker - remember her from the golden age of porn? She's like an Earth Goddess, so full of natural sex appeal that it can make you crawl out of your skin! Rucca and Mia did a few sets together in the huge tub in the master bathroom. Look for the sets in a future Gent with them covered in chocolate, strawberry syrup and whipped cream. I also had the bonus of shooting a short scene with Bunny that day. She's always a delight to work with. Next in was June Summers. She's a classic slim-and-stacked brunette with gorgeous long hair. And what a sweetheart! Claudia Kai is another stunner booked for day two. I met Claudia at Erotica LA a few years ago. She looks better than ever and works at the Spearmint Rhino in LV. The following days saw Reyna Cruz, more sets of Bunny, Paige, Kitty Galore and Zoe Andrews. Kelly Shibari also shot for us and we got to talk a good bit afterwards. Now Kelly has a great blog at PrivateXXXStudios.net where she deciphers the 2257 regulations and does consulting. Bunny and Zoe did some playing in the tub together for the camera. It looked more like boob soup than bubble bath. I got some good pictures of Bunny and Amber Foxxx having a pillow fight too. Next day we shot Brandy Smith, Heather Barron, Delotta Brown, and Kylie Nash. Kylie works at the same club as Claudia, the Spearmint Rhino. Delotta pulled in early in the day and teased me relentlessly until our scene together. She is hot and playful! She and Zoe got down with a double dong in the master bedroom. Morgan Ray was there and did a scene with Lawrik as well as a few sets of stills. Morgan teaches a sex ed class at the Green door swing club in Las Vegas. I'm talking with her about doing a column about swinging and sex ed for Adult Industry News. The two weeks are a blur of sex, giant jugs more sex! We shot and interviewed Sexy BBW Carla, Chica Caramelo, Bridgette Monroe, Devon Michaels, Felony Foreplay, Heather Barron again in several scenes, Amber Foxxx, Gianna Storm, Puma Swede, Claudia again with Kylie, Amber and Bunny, Elektra, Cindy Pucci, Cameo, Dee Dee Deluxxx, Nikki Benz, Daphne Rosen, Carrie Ann, Sara Jay (who I got to do a scene with for my birthday - THANK YOU, ANTON!), Crystal Ashley, Tyler Faith, Kelly Madison, Angelica Sinn, Raven Black, Jennifer and Sophia Rossi. You will be able to see these beautiful women having sex and completely naked in up-coming issues of Gent Magazine, so don't miss a copy! At one point I was able to dash up to Mandalay Bay to catch some of the Exotic Dancer Expo (also known as the 2008 Gentlemens Club Owners Expo & Tradeshow) that was going on concurrently to the shoot. I ran into my old friends Destiny B. Wilde and her handler Mandy there and caught up a bit with them. Destiny looks great, has lost more weight so she is now really slim and really stacked! I also saw Tatianna Stone, Echo Valley and Crystal Ashley at the Universal Entertainment booth. Saw Nikita Kash, Pason, Victoria Valentina, Sunny Lane, Casey Parker aka Wesley, Michelle McLarren and a bunch more, then I raced back to the house to shoot more behind the scenes stills and continue the interviews. I try to publish the interviews I've done here on Adult Industry News and also in Gent Magazine in some kind of order but I have so many interviews "in the can" now that it's hard to keep track of them all! Some are from as far back as August 2007! No matter how long it takes though, I will make sure the interviews are up to date by talking to the girls before I publish them. We used every room in the house and even shot in the back of the house. The "yard" back there was a gravel, dirt and stone nightmare for high heels, but it did yield some great shots. It was hot outside during the day so the AC was on full blast in the house. That was great for working, but at night it got kind of frosty. I slept outside on a cot. The beds were comfortable and all but everyone had the AC turned down to ARCTIC and I like it about 85. It was perfect outside! We all got a lot of work done those 2 weeks. There was a really relaxed atmosphere at the house for the most part. Anton likes a sane working environment and things stayed professional and pleasant in spite of the usual drama that some tried to bring in. I ended up doing 14 scenes and 35 interviews in 15 days. I was exxxhausted! Teri Does Vegas Teri Weigel's new movie "Teri Does Vegas the Hard Way" is now out. I've known Teri and her husband Murrill for years but until now have never had the opportunity to work with Teri. Murrill, Dino Bravo, and myself met in Santa Barbara along with Gary of Playtime Productions to shoot the final scene in her movie last year. Our scene was was a comedic scenario where Teri busts up a poker game and fucks us all! This was Teri's first double vag and the whole shoot was a lot of fun! If you ever have a chance to see Teri feature dance, go for it! Her shows are great with a lot of up close interaction. I just saw her at the Spearmint Rhino in Oxnard - great club by the way - and she tells me she will be opening her own strip club in Florida as soon as they find the right spot. I'm guessing sometime this spring I'm going on a road trip! More about that as it happens. Interviewing lovely ladies is like hooters from heaven. Like I've said, what matters most from the womb to the tomb: TITS!

Flexible CMS'ing (self.PHP)

Indeed. Expression Engine is what you need. Built by the makers of CI - very clean and flexible. It's not free, but worth the few dollars you'll spend
[–]jesse_dev 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I couldn't disagree more with saying EE is clean and flexible. Are you a backend developer? have you looked at the code? anything that has to set display_errors to false in multiple locations is complete shit in my opinion. Have they figured out how to re-organize their concept of plugins, modules, and whatever the 3rd one is? The admin interface is 'ok'. In my opinion the admin interface is non-intuitive, and weird. Ellis Labs should be ashamed.
[–]markmiddleton 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I've written modules, plugins and extensions for EE for the last 3 years. I've had good experiences.
I'm interested in exploring PyroCMS, as so many have mentioned. What are some that you prefer?
[–]jesse_dev 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Apostrophe is probably my favorite CMS. It's years ahead of Drupal and WordPress. Symfony v1 is still an excellent framework, imo.
[–]jcfiala 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Wow, they don't make it obvious how to get at the software, do they? I think it took me fifteen minutes to find the hidden link to their org site, and then I had to click around through the documentation to find out how to download the code.
Yeah, that is very true, unfortunately. They push their hosted solution. The creators are a smallish company in Pennsylvania, and it seems like they're doing well enough to justify their actions.
all it takes is a username and password
for more information, see our privacy policy.

is it really that easy? only one way to find out...
already have an account and just want to login?

I ended up calling Fry's (where I got one of the computers) and the gal in the computer department said my computers' processing speed wasn't fast enough to pull in TV reception. What I ended up buying is a flat panel TV from a chain store that pulls in the TV from TW cable (which I signed up for), and can also use a computer as input - as a monitor. Most TVs nowadays also have monitor capability, but the specs have to be checked to make sure. So it's doing the same thing, but not relying on the computer's "power" to get TV broadcasting. Thanks!
Hi all,

Well I did my part I voted for R/R today in early voting. So did my wife and college sons.
At jwarrior, Well written my friend. Go USA!
If I knew in my heart of hearts that I could only afford a $130,000.00 home and the lender said "hey you qualify for a $200,000.00 home". So now I go for it "super-size it" the American way. So now I live in a home I can't afford and live pay check to pay check, something unforeseen pops up and I whip out the plastic. So now I am up to my eye balls in dept. Now fuel prices sky rocket, then I go farther into dept because my big a$$ S.U.V. guzzles fuel and I am upside down on my car payment and can't unload it. Then I lose my job! The house of cards now collapses. To blame the republicans or democrats is ridiculous! We are at fault for being greedy, self indulgent, slothful, envious, and apathetic. Politicians all lie!
News flash! Lyndon B. Johnson (D) decided to move Social Security to the general accounting fund. In fact; he said " we will never use all this money". Every President has tapped into to it! The "house for everyone program" was started by Henry Cisnero's housing secretary for Bill Clinton (D). What they did was to instruct lenders to give loans to anyone who wanted one. Bad credit or not. Lenders gambled on the notes by buying 10 good ones for 1 bad one. The practice was continued under Bush because everyone was happy. The banks were lending money, the government was making tax revenue under the program, and the home buyers because they now could afford a home. So who is to blame! Look in the mirror.
What is really scary is when he gets voted out, what will he do as a lame duck President?
Obama = Arrogance, class warfare, lies. 4 more years of Barry = $20 trillion in more debt, more lost jobs, more food stamps. Barry = nuclear armed Iran. Simple math. Barry O = big fat 0
Obama is very condescending, typical Lib attitude. The Lib's act like the masses do not know anything. Well they are in for a rude awakening come 11/7 when they are voted out of office. We are not like the Greeks! We will take our medicine!
Barry had his chance! He can keeping blaming Bush, but he has had enough time to turn the ship around. Bush did not create the housing market debacle, no there is plenty of blame to go around. Henry Cisnero's help create that mess with the Clinton Administration. Bush should have never did the bailouts. At least Romney has a plan and a proven track record. Obama is totally out of his element. Obama care is going to crush this Country! He has no plan except for more stimulus. Just like F.D.R. they did not work then nor will they work now. Small Business is the answer. Less Government. Government needs to get out of our way!
I own a small business. This President has done nothing to help small business. He brags about saving G.M.-what a joke! They just released their quarterly's and there abysmal. He should have let them go into bankruptcy. That would have made them stronger. Who loses with the bailouts-we do. Ford also loses because they kept their financial house in order. G.M. falls Ford is there to pick up the pieces. Survival of the fittest. The way this country was made. Not coddling everyone.
News flash Obama never served neither did his wife. I served in the Army 82nd Ordnance Battalion during the 1st Gulf War. I have no issues with the Romney's not serving. At least they did missionary work. Whoopi is an idiot and her show is a joke. What really disappoints me is that Barbara Walters used to be a real journalist, she needs to retire with at least a little dignity.

im feeling these joints man. As their first signature basketball shoe UA's done a great job with these….im still just wonderin if they're ever gonna release them Prototype 2′s
If they do release the proto 2′s I'll buy them in a heartbeat
Has anybody on here hooped in these? mids or lows? I just wanna know what actual players think about these
I have the mids and they're ok. They kinda messed up my feet tho. Like my toe knuckles had skin rubbed off and that hurt like hell. But otherwise they're pretty comfortable. I liked the traction and bounce. There is a performance review on CounterKicks that I find to be really accurate. I heard another guy who had them say his feet got really hot in them. I didn't experience that, but then, he didn't experience my toe knuckle problem.

BDO bags Asia award
Philippine Daily Inquirer
TYCOON Henry Sy-led Banco de Oro Unibank was named "Best Asian Bank" for 2013 by FinanceAsia, making history as the first Philippine bank to win the prestigious regional award.
BDO was chosen from a shortlist that included ICBC (China), HDFC (India), Bank Central Asia (Indonesia), Shinhan Financial (Korea), Public Bank (Malaysia), DBS (Singapore), CTBC (Taiwan) and Siam Commercial Bank (Thailand).
FinanceAsia announced in a newsletter Friday that BDO had broken the winning streak for Malaysia's Public Bank, which has won the award for the last three years.
"It represents the first time FinanceAsia has given this award to a Philippine bank, reflecting the rise in fortunes of the country, notably its improved credit rating," the newsletter said.
FinanceAsia said the award was determined by ranking the winners of "Best Bank" in each market along several criteria, with data provided by SNL Financial. The criteria included year-on-year change in profitability, net interest margin, loan-to-asset ratios, return on equity, price-to-book ratios, non-performing loan levels and analyst ratings as well as credit ratings.

Sunburst Style Ring Guard with Round and Baguette Cut Stones
Sunburst Style Ring Guard with Gorgeous Round Stones
Square Halo Style Ring Guard
Round Shaped Classic Style Halo Wedding Ring Guard
Halo Ring Guards
Halo ring guards are comprised of two bands hugging your solitaire engagement ring, with stones surrounding your center stone. Halo ring guards can come in many shapes and can also be mixed and matched. Halos can be used to fit around any shape stone from round and princess to oval. In some cases, the center stone shape you have does not dictate the halo shape you will need to use, giving you a lot of artistic freedom in designing your bridal jewelry looks overall.
Halo ring guards are wonderful for so many reasons. First, they can take your simple solitaire to a whole other level in terms of look. It can add a tiny halo, only complimenting and adding beauty to the look of your engagement ring. If you want to add a lot of glamour to your solitaire engagement ring, you can choose a larger size halo and give your engagement ring a very big look. The versatility that a halo ring guard can add to your bridal jewelry is amazing.
In terms of protection, the halo ring guards are also an amazing option. The most delicate and vulnerable part of your center stone is very beautifully protected by adding a halo ring guard. This will ensure that you will not chip or break your diamond, but instead fashionably protect it. If you have a colored stone such as emerald or sapphire as your center stone in your solitaire engagement ring, then a halo ring guard is almost a must have for you. Nothing will offer protection to your gemstone ring like a halo ring guard does.
Halo ring guards can also be purchased in any metal type and metal color. This means that you can take your silver solitaire and turn it into a two tone bridal set by simply adding a yellow gold plated halo ring guard. You can play with any combination of metals and colors and achieve many different looks simply by adding different halo ring guards to your solitaire. The combinations are endless if you also begin to consider the different halo shapes and different halo sizes.
Finally, adding a gemstone halo ring guard to your solitaire also promises a lot of variation in look. You can create a very special bridal set by adding a gemstone halo ring guard in the birth stones of your spouse or the birthstones of your wedding month. Again, with a little creativity, your halo ring guards can be turned into many different options.
Halo bridal jewelry is one of the most popular looks in today's bridal jewelry looks. Halo ring guards are a wonderful way to add versatility to any solitaire you might have. Also, some halo ring guards can be adjusted to fit your engagement ring, if you do not have a solitaire, but would like to achieve the halo ring guard look.
