With a snap of his fingers Nathan Eclaire finds himself naked and horny facing an equally naked and horny Marc Guerin. Their big smiles and even bigger boners prove they're up for heavy manaction. Nathan sucks Marc's uncut cock, working his mouth hungrily over the meaty pole. Then Marc gets up and forces his dick down his buddy's throat - whatever position is okay because Nathan knows that a faceful of cock will lead to a mouthful of cum. But that's not enough for Nathan. Even after Marc gets on his knees to fellate him, Nathan mouths his partner's cock again and shoves a vibrator up his hole. No longer able to hold back, he finally shoots his wad.

Bach Flower Remedies Essences Rescue Remedy Spray Original Flower -- 0.7 fl oz
Improved product
This is much easier than opening a can or bottle. Just spray and you're done. Easy!
December 4, 2013
Seems to work
This spray tastes horrible but seems to help in very stressful situations. I joke that its a shot of alcohol in every squirt and that's why it works. That's what it tastes like.
September 4, 2013
This product is great for relaxation!
This spray really works quickly. I hadn't really believed all the claims. But when our family tried it we were astonished. Now the whole family carries one. I am especially glad our teenage son likes it. If found when I use it, it suddenly puts a gentle wall up to the stressor. I use it everytime I get on the highway. I would love to give this to everyone I know. I always look for the best price and Vitacost price for this coudln't be beat so I bought five this last time. Best of all homeopathic with no side effects.
August 11, 2013
Works Great!
I have used this for product for years. It really takes the edge off of anxiety and stress and helps you calm down, especially during those times you least expect to feel anxious. I carry it in my purse. It is very helpful on an airplane and I have shared it with others and they were grateful.
July 13, 2013
It Work!!!
2 quick sprays on the tongue and the calmness creeps over you in minutes.

New Community
Adam Schwartz Every Friday, as the afternoon turned into evening, my father would take my
siblings and me to the window, and we would watch the sunset. This was our
special Shabbat time and I treasured it. It took several years for me to realize
that sunsets happened on nights other than Shabbat Eve. Shabbat is not just special for me because of sunsets. I am a very busy
college student, and I have a lot on my plate, so to speak. Shabbat is a
guaranteed time when I can refresh my batteries and relax from all of the week's
stress. Shabbat is a magical separator of the sacred and the profane. The
profane is not meant to be cast in a negative light, although that is one of the
word's connotations. It is simply separate and different from the sacred,
special and restful Shabbat. Apart from the relaxing part of Shabbat, I enjoy Shabbat because of a wonderful program that has sprung up at the University of Tennessee. The Hillel here is small, with about 40 students who attend different events. (There are 300 Jews among the 28,000 students at UT.) Although we are few in number, we have a great Hillel director and a very supportive Knoxville Jewish community. Every Friday night, about eight students are welcomed into the homes of local Jewish families to share Shabbat with them. We eat, sing, occasionally even pray and are warmed by community, which is one of the Jews' biggest strengths. It is not just food that they give us, although that is a big part in a place where there is little kosher food on campus and no kosher meat (yay, care packages from nice Jewish families!). If we have a Shomer Shabbat person with us, they give them a place to stay until Shabbat is over. They make other accommodations as necessary. Surprisingly, there is a large waiting list of families who want to host our small group. Even in a large university where there are few members of the tribe, it is still possible to survive and thrive with a community and with Shabbat. Adam Schwartz is an undergrad at the University of Tennessee where he studies psychology. His interests include puns, poi and archery. [Posted 2/6/08] |

History of Imperial China #1: The Early Chinese Empires: Qin and Hanby Mark Edward Lewis
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In 221 bc the First Emperor of Qin unified the lands that would become the heart of a Chinese empire. Though forged by conquest, this vast domain depended for its political survival on a fundamental reshaping of Chinese culture. With this informative book, we are present at the creation of an ancient imperial order whose major features would endure for two millennia.
The Qin and Han constitute the "classical period" of Chinese history--a role played by the Greeks and Romans in the West. Mark Edward Lewis highlights the key challenges faced by the court officials and scholars who set about governing an empire of such scale and diversity of peoples. He traces the drastic measures taken to transcend, without eliminating, these regional differences: the invention of the emperor as the divine embodiment of the state; the establishment of a common script for communication and a state-sponsored canon for the propagation of Confucian ideals; the flourishing of the great families, whose domination of local society rested on wealth, landholding, and elaborate kinship structures; the demilitarization of the interior; and the impact of non-Chinese warrior-nomads in setting the boundaries of an emerging Chinese identity. The first of a six-volume series on the history of imperial China, The Early Chinese Empires illuminates many formative events in China's long history of imperialism--events whose residual influence can still be discerned today. Synopsis:In 221 B.C. the First Emperor of Qin unified what would become the heart of a Chinese empire whose major features would endure for two millennia. In the first of a six-volume series on the history of imperial China, Lewis highlights the key challenges facing the court officials and scholars who set about governing an empire of such scale and diversity.

Now, make no mistake: no tulip is as dependably perennial as a daffodil. But the Darwin Hybrids are the ones most bulb growers call "perennial." This means they'll return for several years, especially if you remove the fading flowers each spring. While naturalized daffodils are "forever", many homeowners report their Darwin Hybrid tulips are still faithfully returning after 6 to 10 seasons. For their inexpensive price, we think that's a beautiful bargain. Here's the story:
About Darwin Hybrid Tulips: Early in the 20th Century, a talented Dutch hybridizer named Lefeber worked long and hard with a wild tulip called "Tulipa fosteriana" from Central Asia. It is red, and from it, he hybridized the group that became known as the Emperor Tulips. The world-famous Red Emperor was introduced in 1931, and is what we now call a member of the "Fosteriana Tulip" group. In fact, Red Emperor's official variety name is "Madame Lefeber" in honor of the original hybridizer's wife.
Even though the Red Emperor and other fosterianas were instant sensations, the hybridizers were not satisfied. They were fascinated by what were then called simply "Darwin Tulips". These were large-flowered tulips in clear colors on tall stems, but without any perennial qualities. The Emperors, being close to a wild species, were quite perennial, so they crossed the two groups. And voila! Darwin Hybrid Tulips were born, with the best qualities of both groups.
Ever since, the Darwin Hybrids have set the standards worldwide for tall graceful, large flowered perennial tulips. The famous Apeldoorn group was introduced in 1951 by D. W. Lefeber and Company. There are not many Darwin Hybrids, even today. But they are every good gardener's favorites and always highly valued by florists.
In America's Top Ten list for popularity in the US, compiled by the Netherlands Flower Bulb Information Centre, they list no less than three Darwin Hybrids, more than from any other group.

I purchased this product for planting in the fall of 2008 so that the tulips would appear in spring of 2009. When the tulips opened they were tall, beautiful and colorful. It's now spring 2010 and the tulips are returning! I was only expecting one season as I have been told so many times that tulips do not come back the following year. When the flowers started popping up again this spring, I was very surprised. This was a great purchase. The flowers make us smile, and the neighbors also have commented on how nice they are. The only thing I noticed this year that is different from last is that the tulips are a little bit smaller. This is most likely because I didn't bother to fertilize the area where they are growing. If you are planning on purchasing the Darwin Tulips, I'd suggest fertilizing to keep them consistently hardy and large. Overall this is a good product and I'd recommend to anyone who wants tulips in the garden.

two out 100 grew, but neither produced a flower. However, I bought 90 bulbs from [...], which all grew. Customer service asked me if I wanted replacement or refund. I took replacements and asked for a bag of the larger 50 Darwin Hybrids, but I received two bags of 50 of the same smaller ones [clearly marked as the same product on the label, by the same company, just in a bag of 50 instead of 100]. I planted them any way, but planted some [...] bulbs behind them. This time, half grew, but only a few had flowers. However, less than 50% of those from [...] purchased the year before, grew back. I'll stick with Hyacinths next time. They grew back and divided as well.

By None nickname that I know of.
from Hobart, In
I guess of all the hundred of $ I spend. This product is the only one that did show up (some. Not all bulbs yield a tulip) But in comparison with all the others types of Wild Flower seed that I bought, I should be happy that some of the tulips did show up above the ground.Please when you read this and all the others coments. Call me. I believe that your slogan is where confidence grows... I guess confidence is the only thing that grows, no flowers that i Can account for. Oh, well maybe in someone else yard they are growing. Maybe I just got the death seeds.

You can plant the bulbs in the fall and just wait for spring to arrive for the beautiful tulips to emerge. My neighbors enjoy them as much as I do!
All I could hope for
By The flower lady

I am 70 years old and now retired. I needed flowers that were easy to grow. Your tulips were just what I needed. They were a big hit in the retirement park
Absolutely gorgeous
By Momster
from Far Hills, NJ
Our home was the talk of the neighborhood this Spring!! I planted almost 500 of them in clumps of 9-10 bulbs throughout our landscape gardens. They were absolutely gorgeous and everyone commented on them. My granddaughter was thrilled to cut some and bring them to her teacher. Colors were beautiful and really "popped". We were all sad to see them die down but look forward to next Spring to see how well they do then.
Rabbits loved the blooms :-(

tulip bulbs, hyacinth bulbs,
By Myrna
from Four Oaks, NC 27524
Last fall all the bulbs I bought were for my daughter but she didn't plant them soon enough so they did not come up. She says that she is going to dig them up this fall and replant all of them and hope for better luck next year. I do not purchase tulip bulbs for here in North Carolina because they do not return year after year. Here they are treated as perrenials not as a returning flower and so I will not invest the money in tulip bulbs for myself. I'm sure these bulbs would perform if planted at the appropriate time.

I planted daffodil and tulip bulbs in a bed that borders my driveway and every time I pull into or out of my driveway, I can't help but smile at how beautiful they all look. They have been blooming for about a month and the early spring color is just what I needed after a long, cold, very white winter
The tulips are fantastic.

I used the tulips in front of my house. They have been blooming for two weeks now and they still look great. I have gotton many compliments on how beautiful they look. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a rainbow of color.

Absolutely beautiful what an amazing show of color!
Wish I could say . . .

The squirrels ate the bulbs, and then the baby shoots. I don't know if I'll see even 10% of the bulbs I planted bloom from the mangled remains of the plants. Better luck with other flowers.

I love the display of color on the side of my garage (since I am on a corner). I will defininely try them again.

This was my second order of these tulips. Last year, the order was fine. This year, approximately 25% of the order was a white fluffy peony type flower that looked awful with the deeper colors. This was the second problem with this years order.

What is a "Quality Bulb," and Why Does Bulb Quality Matter?
Flower bulbs come in a wide variety of sizes. It is important to get the largest, best quality bulbs you can find. Larger bulbs help to ensure success, producing larger and stronger plants with more flowers.
Several flower bulbs are part of the onion family, and because of this I like to use Onions as a representation of how important bulb size is. Which of the onions on your shelf go bad first? The smallest ones! Larger onions are more resilient, taking longer to dry out/rot and can withstand swings in temperature better. Flower bulbs are the same. Larger bulbs will withstand disease, draught, large amounts of moisture, and colder temperatures significantly better than the smaller ones.
Here at American Meadows we are committed to providing you with the highest quality bulbs. This means we do everything we can to source the largest bulbs possible. Below is a comparison of bulbs purchased from three different retail stores:
Each of the glass tubes contains 20 Dutch Master Daffodils. Starting from the left, the first tube is what is sold here at American Meadows, the middle tube was purchased at a local "Home Supply" box store, and the third is another online retailer. The difference is easily noticeable.
The next picture is the same comparison, but with Tulip Bulbs:
Again, our bulbs are quite a bit larger than other retailers.
Other things to be aware of when it comes to bulb quality is making sure they are firm and without signs of external damage or cracking. Do your best to avoid bulbs that are already growing and have shoots or freshly grown roots. This is difficult when purchasing online, but if you are ordering through a reputable company, they should be checking for these things regularly.
Next time you are looking to buy bulbs, think about how much time you put into planning and planting your garden and then anxiously waiting for your flowers to grow and bloom. Don't be disappointed after all that effort by planting sub-par bulbs. Buy the largest, firmest, disease free bulbs you can afford, and you will have the best possible results.
Shipping begins in September based on ground temperatures, coldest zones first.

New Track: Eric Lau & Guilty Simpson – "The Mission"
November 14th, 2011
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/tMiNpyY6gdE" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
Missing Eric Lau after watching his video interview in September, aren't you? We know you are. That's why we convinced him to record a new track with Guilty Simpson (we didn't really) just to share with you. How awesome are we?!
The track is called "The Mission" and is definitely an interesting direction for the producer. The sound is still sparkling and soulful, yet this time with a bit more grit than your standard Lau tune. The gully Guilty rides the mellow beat quite well himself. Definitely appreciate both these artists stretching themselves and trying something new.

Nonrestorative sleep (NRS) is defined as the subjective feeling that sleep has been insufficiently refreshing, often despite the appearance of physiologically normal sleep. While NRS has been shown to be associated with a variety of cognitive, affective, and medical complaints, there is currently no valid, reliable instrument available in the public domain for its assessment. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Nonrestorative Sleep Scale (NRSS).
The scale was administered to a sample of 226 (age: 46.7 ± 14.9 years; gender: 48% female) consecutive sleep clinic patients and to 30 control participants (age: 36.9 ± 12.5; gender: 53% female).
Data screening led to a final instrument of 12 items, and factor analysis resulted in 4 factors accounting for 73.2% of total variance. The scale demonstrated excellent internal reliability (α = 0.88) and good test-retest reliability (r = 0.72). Preliminary evaluations of construct validity found that certain subscales correlated reasonably well with previously validated sleep, alertness, and affective scales. Comparisons between global NRSS scores and objective polysomnographic variables revealed a few very small but significant correlations.
Based on these findings, the NRSS was confirmed to be a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of nonrestorative sleep.

Welcome, guest

The SEC has charged Michael Balboa, the former manager of the Millennium Global Emerging Credit Fund that collapsed in October 2008, with fraud as part of what the US regulator describes as a 'multiple' series of charges against hedge fund firms and individuals.
Millennium Global Emerging Credit, run by former Salomon, Greenwich and Rainbow man Balboa at London-based Millennium Global Investments, had been an apparent high-flier in the emerging market hedge fund universe before collapsing suddenly in October 2008.
Until the end of September 2008, Millennium Global Emerging Credit had appeared to be one of the stars in its space, and in the European hedge fund industry generally – gaining 19% to the end of September, returning 25% on a rolling 12-month basis and achieving an annualised return from its launch in December 2006 of some 25%.
At the time, it was thought that a sharp increase in margin calls by...

This North Lake Tahoe lakeview and pet friendly cabin is located in the Talmont neighborhood in Tahoe City, along the Tahoe Rim Trail. This adorable cabin has recent updates with new hardwood flooring, a stone gas fireplace, with a built-in flat screen TV, recessed lighting, and a Hot Springs Spa with lake views surrounded by the mountains, complete with a lounger seat with messaging jets from your back down to your toes. Excellent therapy post a day at the slopes!
Near the cabin are wonderful cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, mountain biking, and dog friendly trails along the rim, as well as a beautiful meadow in summer and winter (Paige Meadows). You can walk/hike, snowshoe, or drive to the trail head.
Down the hill from the cabin is the Tahoe Park Beach Homeowner's Association with BBQ grills, picnic tables, volleyball nets, and access to launch canoes and kayaks.
In the spring and summer, the area has a beautifully manicured lawn with brilliant flora. Approximately 25 yards south of the homeowner's beach is Sunnyside Lodge where you can walk, swim, or boat to have amazing lakefront dining and /or cocktails at the lakefront bar. Sunnyside is also a lively spot in the winter for après skiing, with a cozy winter lodge atmosphere.
Approximately 2 miles from the cabin is the Fanny Bridge over the Truckee River, the only outlet from Lake Tahoe. This is also the entrance to Tahoe City, with quaint boutiques, homegrown coffee shops, historic landmarks, galleries, the Cobblestone Cinema, and the Commons Beach Amphitheater, which is just along Lake Tahoe's gorgeous shoreline. For the best cup of coffee and pastry Tahoe has to offer, stop by Tahoe House Bakery just before you get down to the Fanny Bridge.
A modern grocery and supply store is also just beyond the Fanny Bridge. A bike trail, a bike rental shop, a raft launch, a river rafting company, a ski shop, and several riverfront restaurants are also available adjacent to the Fanny Bridge. Locals launch and jump on their own rafts and cruise down the river until floating (or surging depending on the annual snow melt) into the River Ranch, a historic lodge on the banks of the Truckee River with beautiful river and mountain views, and just at the entrance to Alpine Meadows Resort.
Although there are many accessible ski areas, the closet ski areas to the cabin are Squaw Valley Resort (approximately 8 miles), Alpine Meadows and Homewood (approximately 5 miles in opposite directions), and Northstar (approximately 15 miles).
The North Shore is a perfect Tahoe destination, with an abundance of summer and winter activities, and endless scenic treasures! Enjoy!

Corduroy Travel Coat
Pitiful Coat
Coat arrived and Large was too small. I returned for XTra Large and it was huge. The coat was delivered shoved into a 8z10 plastic bag . The quality is pitiful. One sleeve was larger and shorter than the other. The coat was a waste of time and money fooling with it. Customer Service was excellent. The review requires a nickname and after eight tries, I still cannot get past the nickname not being used before. Now on 12th try to find a nickname that hasn't been used before.

Very Disappointed
I purchased this jacket for my son, I would not recommend this clothing to anyone, the jacket material was nice, however the poor sewing just ruined the jacket. The pockets were sewn shut only two fingers would fit in this jacket pocket (it was an XXL) and the back opening in the jacket puckers up like it is tucked in your pants. I give this jacket one star because it did fit to size. It is hard to find a nice jacket that fits and it does fit so we are keeping it and I will repair the poor quality sewing for the price. Again being a 52 Regular it is hard to find a good fit, so I am not returning the jacket but I will not purchase from Travel Smith again.
Signed Very Disappointed
September 24, 2013
Mixed Bag
There are many things to like about this coat. It fits well, the material is soft and broken in, it has lots of pockets. But the major drawback is the exterior chest picket, which is way too small to hold anything more than a handkerchief. Having bought quite a few sports jackets from Travelsmith over the years I have noticed this as a growing (or, actually, a shrinking problem). This pocket is much too small for a glasses case, which is the common use for that pocket for me. Overall this is a disappointment in a coat with many pockets (a few others too small as well) designed for travel.
January 2, 2013
attractive but poorly made
The jacket looked good and the sizing was accurate. But the back seam was improperly sewn causing the back vent to pucker. I returned the jacket and asked for an exchange. This request was honored promptly but the jacket again had the same problem leading me to believe that this is true of the entire lot. I was able to have the garment repaired by a local tailor.

As temperatures continue to rise in the Northwest Missouri areas, drivers are being encouraged to keep a look out for pavement blow outs.
Pavement blow outs occur when temperatures hover in the high 90s for an extended period of time. As sections of pavement expand with increasing temperatures, moisture in the cracks and joints cause the pavement to buckle. Missouri Department of Transportation Customer Relations Manager Melissa Black says drivers should initially avoid these blow outs like they avoid pot holes.
Black says Mo-Dot Crews are also monitoring state routes for these blow-ups and will make repairs as soon as possible.© Copyright, KXCV

org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.EndpointServlet - memory issue
Bogdan Ungureanu Sep 4, 2011 4:38 AMI am running a JBoss 2.7.1 as a producer over WSRP. Under load I experience a memory issue with the below details:
"One instance of "org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.EndpointServlet" loaded by "org.jboss.mx.loading.UnifiedClassLoader3 @ 0xcbfd5bc0" occupies 124,724,728 (25.20%) bytes. The memory is accumulated in one instance of "java.util.LinkedList$Entry" loaded by "<system class loader>".

Richard Opalka Sep 7, 2011 2:51 AM (in response to Bogdan Ungureanu)Either switch to JBossAS 7.0.1 or JBossAS 6.1.0.
2. Re: org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.EndpointServlet - memory issue
Bogdan Ungureanu Sep 7, 2011 7:45 AM (in response to Richard Opalka)Hi Richard,
Thank you for your reply.
We are using JBoss portal 2.7.1 which is based on JBoss AS 4.2.3, and the EndpointServlet from the jbossws-native-core is similar with the revision from 8819 from SVN:
I have looked in the JIRA for some coments related to the fixes that were done against the Endpoint but I wasn't able to find some coments to confirm that the issue we have is fixed by one of the next revisions. Could you please clarify if that was a known issue on that part ?
The object which I found in the memory is the "preDestroyRegistry" which holds the LinkedList and should be cleanup by the "destroy()", which aparently is not cleaning up, or it is not trigered.
Kind regards,
3. Re: org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.EndpointServlet - memory issue
Richard Opalka Sep 7, 2011 9:41 AM (in response to Bogdan Ungureanu)Hi Bob,
Both JBossAS 6.x & JBossAS 7.x series are using different SOAP stack.
We used to have JBoss Native (which you are using via JBossAS 4x), but this
stack was deprecated and we're using Apache CXF SOAP stack instead.
I highly suggest you to switch to up2date JBossAS version.
4. Re: org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.EndpointServlet - memory issue
Bogdan Ungureanu Jan 27, 2012 12:13 AM (in response to Richard Opalka)After some searches my case was resolved by using the jbossws-native-3.0.4. From jbossws-native-3.0.5 the issue was introduced and resolved in jbossws-native-3.1.1 which unfortunatelly introduced a side effect, hence 3.0.4 did the fix.

Onkar Vaidya Jan 21, 2013 7:44 AM (in response to Bogdan Ungureanu)Hi Bogdan
Where can I find jboss-native-3.0.4 distribution?
I did not find it here: http://www.jboss.org/jbossws/downloads.
Obviously I can't move away from JBoss 4.2.3 GA as yet.

Never seen glass such as the butterfly design. Butterflies are my thing. This was perfect for my butterfly custom for a party I had. All the girls were so intrigue with the pair of glasses. At first I though it was a mask but it's actually sunglasses. It would be cool if it had some type of lens but its' still cool.

Beware Of Mr. Baker
- Airdate:
- Ginger Baker is known for playing in Cream and Blind Faith, but the world's greatest drummer didn't hit his stride until 1972, when he arrived in Nigeria and discovered Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. After leaving Nigeria, Ginger returned to his pattern of drug-induced self-destruction, eventually settling in South Africa, where the 73-year-old lives with his young bride and 39 polo ponies. This documentary includes interviews with Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Carlos Santana and more. With every smash of the drum is a man smashing through life, and smashing the filmmaker's nose on the last day of filming.

I trusted you, and it hurts that you just threw it all away like you can just ask for another chance and screw that one again, then just ask for another one. That's not how it's always gonna be like, we get hurt and other people get involved. You don't even realize how disappointed you made me feel, I hope that you learned your lesson, coz I sure learned mine. I still don't know if I should give you another chance, I'm sorry, but all I need is time. Maybe I just want you to prove to me that you've changed, and that you won't break another promise.

TSA adding black lights to screen passengers' ID cards
Oct. 18--D/FW AIRPORT -- Under a black light, hard-to-reproduce holograms on identification cards, such as the Texas driver's license, become visible.
There on your driver's license, for example, a bunch of little yellow "TEXAS" holograms appear.
Different cards have different identifiers. (The Swiss identification card has a cobalt blue fishnet design. In the photo area is a second green-yellow hologram: "SCHWEIZ, SUISSE, SVIZZERA, SVIZRA, SWITZERLAND.")
The Transportation Security Administration, which has taken over document-ticket screening at U.S. airports, is rolling out small black lights and loupes (magnifying lenses) to 1,300 specially trained screeners who check suspicious IDs in the ticket lines.
Airline contractors did the preliminary driver's license checks at major airports until August. Until then, the TSA had no occasions in the security process to vet people's IDs against their boarding passes.
"The TSA in the past few years has been creating extra layers of security beyond the checkpoint," TSA spokeswoman Andrea McCauley said. The checks for falsified documents are being added to screening outside the security lanes that looks for suspicious behavior, McCauley said.
More training for document-ticket checkers is necessary because of the variety of IDs that come through a major international airport like Dallas/Fort Worth.
Is this a response to a specific threat or incident?
Which IDs are checked with the black light?
Any identification card that the TSA document-ticket checker deems out of the ordinary will be checked with the black light and loupe.
What if, after it's checked, my ID is still considered suspicious?
If ID issued can't be resolved by the document-ticket checker, local law enforcement will be called. (In the case of D/FW, that means the airport police.)
Will this make the security process different or longer?
Most passengers won't need such a check. However, remember that the document-ticket checker is no longer an airline contractor but a federal security officer. Calm, courteous behavior will probably work best to avoid confrontations. TSA officials say there have been no problems between passengers and screeners at pilot programs in Phoenix, New York Kennedy and Baltimore airports. Officials have noted that many passengers do not arrive at the checkpoints prepared (with ID and boarding pass handy).
Do you need a photo ID to fly?
No, but you'll undergo "secondary screening," the more involved screening that some passengers find time-consuming and/or invasive. If many passengers arrive without IDs, that would add to wait times, officials said.

XSPC has a well known presence in the enthusiast water cooling community with a track record for high performance and affordable water cooling products. Recently, XSPC released new version of their DIY cooling kits, integrating their EX series radiators into the kit. They were kind enough to provide us with a sample of their Raystorm 750 EX240 Watercooling Kit with an included EX240 radiator. We tested this cooler in conjunction with other all-in-one and air coolers to see how well the XSPC kit stacks up. With a retail price at $149.99, this kit offers an affordable alternative to the all-in-one coolers.

The Razor GTX680 water block was among the first in the XSPC full cover line of blocks. The previous generation of XSPC water blocks offered cooling for the GPU as well as the memory and on-board VRMs, but did not offer the protection that a full card-sized block offers to the sensitive components integrated into the card's PCB. At an MSRP of $99.99, the Razor GTX680 water block is a sound investment.
Courtesy of XSPC
The Razor GTX680 block comes with a total of seven G1/4" ports - four on the inlet side (left) and three on the outlet side (right). XSPC included the following component with the block: XSPC thermal compound, dual blue LEDs, five steel port caps, paper washers and mounting screws, and TIM (thermal interface material) for use with the on board memory and VRM chips.

Introduction and Technical Specifications
The latest rage in CPU cooling seems to be the self-contained water cooler because of the cooling potential of these coolers without the noise of a comparable air-based cooling system. This is something that cooling enthusiasts have known for years with the custom water cooling solution heat dissipation capacity only rivaled by its varied composition. A typical custom water loop is comprised of a pump, CPU cooling block, and a radiator in its simplest form.
Today, we are looking at the impact of the radiator on the custom water cooling loop, specifically the affects of radiator thickness and fin density on the cooling efficiency of the cooling loop. For this testing, we are comparing a single Swiftech MCR 320-QP Radiator, dual Swiftech MCR 320-QP Radiators in series, and an XSPC RX360 radiator while keeping the pump, CPU cooling block, and coolant used constant between tests.
RX360 Radiator
Courtesy of XSPC
MCR 320-QP Radiator
Courtesy of Swiftech
Both radiators used in this comparison are in a 3 x 120mm form factor, supporting up to six total 120mm fans in a push / pull configuration. The Swiftech MCR 320-QP radiator is approximately half the thickness of the XSPC RX360 radiator, but has 150% more surface fin density (measured in fpi (fins per inch)). A thicker radiator can handle more coolant as well as spreading the coolant over a larger surface volume for cooling capacity, while a higher fin density allow for more effective heat dissipation via the cooling fans. However, there are negatives of each. A thicker radiator can inhibit coolant flow speed because of its larger capacity and and surface volume. On the other hand, higher fin density requires a higher CFM rated fan to effectively pass air through the radiator effectively.

Exhibit Opening Reception for Mitchell Squire's Toyz: And Other Thoughtful Objects for Hours of Play
March 10, 2009 07:00 PM
Taubman College Gallery (Rm 2106)
Art + Architecture Building
Join your friends and colleagues to celebrate Mitchell Squire's exhibit, Toyz: And Other Thoughtful Objects for Hours of Play. Chicken wings will be provided.,br>
Mitchell Squire was born in Natchez, Mississippi, is an Assoc. Professor at Iowa State University, a past recipient of ACSA New Faculty Teaching Award and the recipient of the 2007-08 ACSA Creative Achievement Award given to professors and architectural educators who have made a creative achievement in teaching, design, scholarship, research, or service that is affiliated with architectural education.
"Someone once called [my work] 'enigmatic.' I really didn't know what that meant, given that many observers of contemporary art find most of it hard to understand. I thought it had something to do with its placement into one of those "isms," not so much with its content, but I wasn't sure. What's clear—at least to me—is that I make work. If that's an insufficient description, perhaps 'enigmatic' was well put. At the moment I'm thinking of the wonderful justification Magic Johnson provided the late night talk show host when questioned about his opening of the first Starbucks in Harlem. Magic replied, 'Black folks like Starbucks, too!' or something to that effect..."
