El Centro Sector Border Patrol Seizes more than $63,000 in Drugs during Bus Inspection
- Details
- Created on Monday, 12 May 2014 21:24
- Written by Border Scope
Salton City, California - Thursday, El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Indio Station apprehended a woman suspected narcotics smuggler at the Highway 86 checkpoint and seized heroin and methamphetamine.
The incident occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m., when Border Patrol agents referred an intercity bus to secondary inspection. During the secondary inspection a Canine Detection team alerted to the upper center portion of the bus. An interior canine sniff was then performed and the canine alerted to two carry-on bags. A search of the two bags revealed three packages of heroin wrapped in clear tape.
One of the passengers, a 25-year-old woman, admitted to being the owner of the two bags. The woman voluntarily stated that she also had a small amount of "meth" in one of her bags.
The heroin had a combined weight of approximately seven pounds with an estimated street value of $63,360. The methamphetamine weighed approximately three grams and has an estimated street value of $227.00.
The woman, a citizen of the United States, and narcotics were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for further investigation.

Yale Fight Songs
While we are the band and not the Glee Club, most of us do know the lyrics to Yale's various fight songs and will sing them at the top of our collective lungs when they're not being used to play our instruments. Sometimes we like to sing and play at the same time for an added challenge. Some sections are better than others at this.
"Bulldog" is considered to be the Yale Fight Song, the one we play after touchdowns during a football game. "Down The Field" is played at the end of every Yale athletic event, win or lose. "Bright College Years" is our tear-jerking alma mater.

Train roll on, on down the line, Won't you

Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Meantime, I leave my woman at home, Lord and.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Oh my baby's gone with the wind.
And I don't know oh where I'm going.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again, alright
I'll leave my woman at home, Lord and.

don't be so certain any of you know what this means to everyone. It's ambiguous and Tuesday could be the day, a name, or a drug reference. "Tuesday you see, she had to be free, Lord but somehow I got to carry on"- That could be along the lines of a voodoo child reference. Perhaps the mother smoked pot(Tuesday) while her child was in her womb, and then her child was born financially insecure because she spent too much money on weed(Tuesday) she could have grown for free had it been legal(free) to do. "When this train end's I'll try again, to leave my woman at home." That could be a pot head that has to hide it's stash at home or retreat home to get high to protect itself from reeking like pot in public. I'm not saying it wasn't about a woman or the day but it definitely could be about pot. "Tuesday's gone with the wind." That could mean a girl named Tuesday is getting stoned. It could also be the name of someone's pot that's being smoked.
how people become mean.. | Reviewer: idiot... | 6/4/11
A great song, today when I m feeling broken and how much i wished that she was here with me holding me..
Was just 3 years ago ..it was so beautiful..those promises ..those love we made...and dream of having our house, our kids..
how i would do anything for her because for me it wasnt just me..it was US...
but today feelings changed..and 3 years now she's matured...and she's been smart..she's starting thinking bout her profit and loss..and why not??
I miss raising my head and walking in front of people thinking my love was true, and how i had no respect for people who love just for sex..
I have learned it, people would do anything when they need you..they would go to any extreme...make me dream about everything..but once they loose interest on you..they can always blame time and make a fool out of you...
she was 15 when i started loving her, and she is 18 now, she moved on lot, for me...i still am stuck with those promises.. making our beautiful home..just she and me..
It's not far that she is going to leave me, and its going to be a simple reason " he was too good and i cant hurt him anymore" ...she was my first love.first person whom i opened myself.. .and i knw it will also be the last person..
she will be gone but i can never stop loving her and caring bout her......and this song... its going to be song of my life.
i will always love you
Cracking Song | Reviewer: Skynyrd | 1/21/11
I absolutly love this song first heard it whil playing Gutar Hero Mettalica and just thought that it sounded amazing the guitar work is briliant and the lyrics and emotion are fantastic just a great song all over.
Tuesday's Gone | Reviewer: Bleu | 10/14/10
Tuesday most certainly is the name of the girl, not the day that she left. "Tuesday you see, she had to be free, Lord but somehow I got to carry on" He is simply explaining how Tuesday, his girl, had to be free. Not Tuesday (the day she left) you see, she had to be free. That just doesn't make any sense.
Dichotomy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/26/09
Tuesday isn't the name of the woman. Tuesday is when she left. However, she's not leaving permanently, because she's "still at home". He doesn't seem to be leaving permanently either, as he says "when this train ends I'll try again." He needs time to think. He needs to be alone. He's stuck in between continuing to try to stay with her and just leaving it all behind. However, the reference to the specific day she left might point to a hidden reference of the fact that he's not gone permanently, but just for the "blues day". He's pretty much taking the day off and this song was written right in the middle of the apex of his polar emotions. That's why it seems like a dichotomy exists in the song. Neither his staying or his going is finalized. It's a song of the moment.
wednesday | Reviewer: Sammy | 11/16/08
Whoever said it's about him having to let the girl go is way off track. He's the one on the train, miles from his home and he's leaving her behind. "i'm leavin my woman at home". He doesn't even state why he's leaving her, he just is. "She had to be free" is about all you get. Great song though
Tuesday | Reviewer: Tirith N | 6/22/08
Definitely one of my favorite songs.
As far as the emotions of the song...Nezra nailed it. As calming as this song may be to listen to, it's a song of lament for a lover who is leaving. The simple fact that the writer accepts Tuesday's need for freedom, and feels that letting her leave is what is best for her is what stops this song from being unrequited.
It's a bit of a tragic song...but is definitely one of my favorite love songs. Unlike most others, he isn't begging her to come back. He's lamenting, but not being childish about it. She's leaving...and he's moving on.
An absolutely beautiful song, and a great song to jam to with friends.
Tuesday | Reviewer: nezra | 2/29/08
Not unrequited love. Tuesday is the name of the girl. As for perspective, it seems to be complementary to Free Bird, in that Free Bird is about someone who wants to "fly away" and be completely free. It has not so much to do with the other person so much as the singer's love of freedom. It isn't a lack of love for the significant other but an excess of it for the world.
This song is complementary because it seems to express the opposite emotion, having a lover leave because of their love of the world. In the song, Tuesday (singer's woman) leaves because she "had to be free". Sound familiar?
He doesn't express any anger or even much sorrow, it's more of a lament or yearning for things to be another way but a knowledge and acceptance of the fact that it cannot be.
GREAT SONG ! | Reviewer: Bill | 12/5/07
This song is I think better than Free Bird. I am a realy big Skynyrd fan and the mousic that they play is very inspiering to people.
Tuesday | Reviewer: Skynryd | 5/12/07
I want to know why exactly its "Tuesday's Gone". What is the significance of Tuesday? It is obviously about love and loss, but why Tuesday?

I've been wanting to try a sensory deprivation tank since discovering them several months ago. For those unfamiliar, a sensory deprivation tank - also known as an isolation tank or floatation tank - is an enclosed tub of water about 8 inches deep containing 800 pounds of epson salt. This salt creates a buoyancy twice that of the dead sea. The tank is sound proof and light proof, essentially isolating the individual inside it from any external stimulation.
These tanks were invented by scientist John C. Lilly, who wanted to test brain activity in complete isolation. In doing so he created an environment that provides a unique and relaxing experience to both the mind and the body.
Here's my experience spending 1 hour in an isolation tank at Chicago's SpaceTime Tanks:
As a Christmas gift to my brother who was briefly in town, I booked us both 1-hour floats for the Saturday after Christmas. I booked them a week ahead of time and they were able to offer several available times. Some tips they shared upon booking:
Basically, the more relaxed and comfortable you are, the better.
Upon arriving we were immediately asked to take off our shoes. The reception area was nice and relaxing and had a calm/homey vibe to it. We filled out a short form with our information and then one of the employees escorted us into a room to give us a quick informational shpeal. After that we were off to our separate rooms which contained a shower and an isolation tank. I rinsed off, climbed inside the tank, and shut the door - I was in complete darkness and complete silence experiencing zero gravity.
The feeling of floating without using any muscles or effort at all is pretty incredible. At first I was focusing a lot on my breathing - listening to it (it's all I could hear), trying to make it quieter, slower, calmer. Then I tried different positions with my arms (up around my head, down by my side, underneath my head). Each position had it's own comfort appeal.
As my 60 minutes proceeded, many thoughts entered and exited my mind - goals, shortcomings, past memories, desires, accomplishments. I felt as if nothing else in the world mattered, that it was all controlled in my head. Anything outside of my head giving me energy I didn't want didn't matter because it could all be controlled in my head.
My time in the tank felt like a bunch of mini dreams. I don't know if I was sleeping or not. I don't know what you call the state I was in. I experienced some minor visuals including black blobs and the feeling of floating down a swift river. Weird.
I thought about my body and the way I treat it… how fragile, valuable and important it is. I thought about obligations I've been putting off, and people I should talk to. I thought about a lot.
Then I heard the knock on the tank signifying my time was up. It was over. It felt like 15 minutes but was an entire hour. I rinsed off, got dressed and re-convened with my brother in the reception area. We were both pretty amazed, and maybe a little confused about the experience. We spent a few minutes chuckling and reading through the "Float Journals" they have sitting on the table - notebooks customers write reflections in after floating.
For me, the flotation tank was a new level of relaxation, where both my mind and body were at complete ease. The tank was my own personal exploration pod - an isolated bubble of my own consciousness.

You could build it with any power supply from 6 to 12 volts if you do not have a broken drill laying around.
This is a total hardware hack. I know it looks like crap. We were having a party and I wanted a prop that would scare people. I threw it together in about 2 hours. I've spent three times longer documenting the build than I did actually building it.
I have a really well stocked junk collection, so everything that I used to build this was actually laying around the shop before I started building it. The design is very flexible and will work with whatever junk you have.
Step 1: The power source
I relocated the PWM power transistor to the side of the drill handle, because there was no room for it inside after the top of the handle broke off.
I attached two heavy (16 GA) wires to the power output of the drill speed control.
Step 2: The Filter
Step 3: The oscillating relay
The curly bits of wire serve as RF chokes and reduce radio frequency interference.
I put hot glue over the pins to insulate and protect them.
Step 4: The Coil
Step 5: The probe
I took a section of a spring and bent up the end of it until it was kinked and twisted. Then I forced this into the end of the coil with a twisting motion. This made a spring friction mount for the rod. The rod stays inside the spring really well.
Step 6: The Ground wires
The whole thing is pretty much held together with hot glue.
Step 7: Using it
When the power is at a low setting, the relay points just chatter a little, but there is still several hundred volts at the probe. The power control has a low range, where the relay is chattering, and a high range, where the relay is getting a full stroke and the IGN coil is getting saturated.
There is an optimal setting of the "throttle". When you change the power level you are changing the "dwell" time of the relay points. The dwell is the time that the energy charges up in the winding before the points open and collapse the field. It is the abrupt collapse of the field that creates the high voltage flyback effect. The size of the spark gap also matters. If the gap is larger the voltage can ring up to a higher peak before it discharges. If the gap is too big, the air will never breakdown and there will be no arc. Remember that an arc in air is about 10,000 volts per centimeter, so I have seen as much as 45,000 volts from this coil.
hehe, thats realy dirty, but nice project! ;)
What is the video called so I can search it on youtube, I will not play for me on the site
actually a ignition coil has a iron core if anyone has took one apart
and aside from the rant, heres a REAL tesla coil gun if i've seen one. all credit to steve ward himself...
cool stun gun
There are lots of people saying "not a tesla coil" but the way I have this hooked up you have the issues as a big coil. It's not working as a simple transformer, but doing something like the resonant transfer of a air coil. This very high voltage from the ignition coil is coming from the disruptive arc on the primary and the ringing of the primary interacting with the secondary and the "top" mass. I have not seen this kind of voltage buildup with a transistor switched drive.
Like this:
This would make a great 'steampunk' item with a little dressing up! Go for it!
Sawry :/
PS I know this is an old post - but people are still reading it!
Entropy means that, in a given system, energy and matter tend towards the homogeneous. The law is "A system may not move from a disordered to an ordered state," essentially meaning that, in order for something as dispersed as heat to be collected and used from the top of a system, twice as much energy must be expended in conversion.
An example that might make this clearer, as it is essentially the same idea, is a perfectly heat-proof container, with a heater set in the bottom in a tub of water (converting electricity to heat) and a turbine halfway up (collecting heat as electricity, via generator). Though this might, at first glance, appear a perfect system, if the container is closed, then eventually the temperature will be completely uniform, and the turbine will stop turning; Heat will not spontaneously become another form of electricity, leaving a cold box again. This problem can be solved by opening the top of the container, but this presents two problems; The container is no longer heatproof, so not all of the energy produced is used, and you need to keep adding more water for steam.
This is the problem with all such systems. However, a car might be made (by no means cheaply) that, for example, has catches to turn to generators when going downhill without breaks (shutting off and leaving the battery undrained), solar panels along the top, and perhaps an emergency crank, which, if all is employed just right, might mean that it never has to be left to charge, but will charge while driving/parked.

Got a question...I'm currently playing Path of Exile on my Teksavvy 5Mb DSL connection and I've noticed that when I download a patch, the speed will sometimes hit 4-5Mb per second rather than the regular 650Kps that I normally get. I thought it could be that the program miscalculates the rates but the last time it happened I also noticed that (for a 450Mb patch) it started out slowly, as per normal...and then Zoom zoom zoom!!! It completed in under 1 minute (after watching it run for over 2 min at slower speeds).It varies, but it's not a permanent speed boost. I'll reach 5Mb for 3-4 seconds, then it'll drop to 2Mb for a few seconds, then up to 3Mb again, then back to normal, then up again...and the status bar moves much faster at the higher speeds so I'm assuming I'm downloading really quickly!I don't get this speed bump with any other program, so I'm wondering what makes PoE so special? Why does my connection do this?I often check with Teksavvy to increase my speed but the site says it's not available in my area (in Gatineau, QC around the 50/Montee Paiement area). Even Bhell's site mentions that I can't get higher speeds in my area. But I've felt the tingly sensations that comes with a very fast internet connection...and I want more!--"With your shield or on it!" - spartan code"No matter where you go, there you are." - Buckaroo Bonzai
It's the ptogram i go up to 10 Mb sometimes i got a 7 megs connections the program STEAM had the same problem but they fix it...
It's not a real "problem" for me, and I'm glad I'm not the only one. I hope they don't "fix" it. Thanks!
It's not a real "problem" for me, and I'm glad I'm not the only one. I hope they don't "fix" it. Thanks!
DSL does not have burst capability like Cable does. Its likely just an error in the software calculating the speed.--F**K THE NHL. Go Blue Jays 2013!!!
Ignorance is bliss! :PLet me bask in the feeling that we might actually have decent internet in Canada. Even though it's a lie, I'll take it!
I remember there was this weird linux ISO FTP posted on dslreports that provided erroneous readings when you downloaded it, twice the speed it was going... maybe you're seeing something like that

in which Ezri demonstrates how a badass plays baseball
Sisko's Theatrical Gasp
requested by boldlygifing
Solok: You are attempting to manufacture a triumph where none exists.
Kasidy: I'd say he succeeded.
Bashir: To manufactured triumph.
Sisko: Manufactured trumph, here, here!
Niners: Here, here!
Solok: This is a typical human reaction, based on emotionalism and illogic.
Sisko: Do I hear irritation in that voice?
Solok: Certainly not.
Bashir: That sounded positively defensive to me.
O'Brien: With a hint of anger.
Quark: And just a touch of jealousy.
Kasidy: And a lot of bitterness.
Ezri: Are you always this emotional?
I'd also like to say that what you just did was one of the kindest, dearest and for you, one of the most embarrassing things that I have ever heard. You're a real sweetheart.
10 favorite ladies of trek [4/10]: ezri dax
- it's hard to follow an act like jadzia dax, but ezri does the best she can. unexpectedly thrust into being a joined trill, ezri becomes alienated from both her family and former life after she becomes "a dax." instead of giving up and breaking down, ezri seeks out the people who can bring her home to herself: benjamin sisko and the rest of the crew of deep space 9. initially uncertain of herself, ezri becomes empowered as a successful ship's counselor after helping garak overcome his claustrophobia. she continues on to become a critical fighting member of the federation's war against the dominion, even surviving brutal capture by a merciless enemy. although trill law would prevent her from reuniting with jadzia's husband, worf, ezri follows her heart to a rekindled romance with worf through to the inevitable conclusion that is right for her: just friendship. instead, her formerly platonic relationship with julian bashir develops into something more. ezri goes from a broken, confused novice to a self-confident, assured new individual. not just a dax—but ezri dax.
- Lt. Commander Worf: [referring to Martok] He likes you, and he considers you an honorable woman, a worthy successor to Jadzia. And so do I.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: That's very sweet of him.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Sweet?
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: Not a very Klingon word, is it?
- Lt. Commander Worf: No.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: It's very... honorable.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Better - albeit a little obvious.

It all depends what services are running on the machine, you can
certainly access data on a Solaris machine from Windows using SMB,
FTP, Telnet, SSH ,etc.
I would suggest running a port scan of the machine & see what's open.
As far as cracking passwords, you can use John the Ripper, you're
going to need to copy /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow into a directory, run
the unshadow utitlity from JTR against them and then you can load the
hashes into JTR.

I have a copy of the /etc/shadow/ file from the Solaris Server which

machine, as is the case on win2k and windows 2003 servers, when all you need
is my network places and hope some of the shares hav been given the deadly
"everyone acl" in NTFS? I appreciate Solaris uses a totally different file
system to NTFS but I assume you can share directories with anyone on the
network if desired? Any tips on accessing data on this Server from Windows
much appreciated.
Out of interest, what are the mailing lists views on Security of a Solaris
Server if every user on the internal network only have windows machines?
Even if there is a weak password or open file share on the Solaris Server,
without specialist software is it fair to say the windows users still
wouldnt be able to get hold of data on the Server, or is that a very naive
view on things?

I don't know the answer yet, but I hope 4 is the magic number. It is much easier to scale even numbers, and 4 to me seems like a better base group because sometimes it is hard to find 5 players.
I was wondering what the default assumed group size might be in D&D Next, in 3rd/3.5 a group of 4 PCs was assumed and the Challenge Rating system was based around that. I'm not sure if it's NDA restricted information or not, but I have been trying to discover what sizes the groups were during the playtests at the various conventions. I myself have a fairly large group (5-7 PCs) and am interested to know if the playtest material is scaleable for larger groups or if I need to split party for the D&D Next playtest.
Thanks in advance for any information regarding this.

If I'm understanding the situation correctly the toggle needs to be synced so that its result happens at the beginning of a window. Whereas the current patch is likely to misalign the phases by changing to and from the frozen data potentially in the middle of a frame.
Using sah~ hasn't helped though.
I don't have a problem using the exact input phases when the freezing is bypassed, however there is a discontinuity when switching to the frozen signal that I haven't been able to get rid of.
If I can get rid of this then the problem for my application is solved. The discontinuity going from the frozen signal back to the unchanged signal is irrelevant though.
Attached is one attempt at a solution albeit with a discontinuity when switching to the frozen signal.

UNH students: email to get involved!
RecycleMania is a 10-week waste minimization, recycling and composting competition between hundreds of schools nationwide during the spring semester. The RecycleMania Competition is a project of the College and University Recycling Council (CURC) governed by an steering committee comprised of six individuals. Staff administration for RecycleMania is provided by the National Recycling Coalition (NRC). Learn more at www.recyclemania.org.
Participating in the "Waste Minimization" competition is one of UNH's commitments under the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) and is part of UNH's Climate Action Plan, called WildCAP, which calls for greenhouse gas reductions of 50% by 2020 and 80% by 2050.
2011 Results
- From February 6 - April 2, college and university students focused on how much trash they could recycle in order to receive one of RecycleMania's top prizes.
- In the Grand Champion competition, which is determined by overall percentage of trash that is recycled, UNH ranked 129/288 schools, with a 29.24% cumulative recycling rate.
- In the Per Capita Classic competition, UNH ranked 148/362 schools, with 11.58 pounds of waste recycled per person.
- UNH's stronger performance came in the specific recycling categories. We ranked 93/231 in cardboard recycling, 76/226 in paper recycling, 64/219 in comingled recyclables (plastic, glass, aluminum), and 60/131 for food service organics, which are composted at Woodman Farm for use in the fields.
- Our campus continues to struggle with decreasing its overall waste production (landfill and recycled waste combined), however. In the Waste Minimization category, UNH ranked 90/182 schools in the competition. "Although recycling your waste is a good thing to do, an even better goal is to decrease creating waste in the first place," says Michele Chapman from the UNH Sustainability Academy that entered data for the competition. "If UNH students can focus on buying less products with packaging, we can do better in this category, and for the planet, in years to come."

- 510 schools from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Canada took part in RecycleMania 2009, which has several competitions like Grand Champion. The 4.7 million students and 1.1 million faculty and staff on these campuses collectively recycled or composted just over 69.4 million pounds of waste over ten weeks.
- The Ecological Advocates tabled in the MUB.
- Gnarlz, the UNH mascot, reminded hockey fans to recycle in the Whittemore Arena.
- The Operating Staff Council conducted a paper waste pilot study and collected 55 pounds of bulk mail.
- UNH Dining, Facilities Grounds and Event Support, and Waste Management put in extra effort to report weights each week for different targeted materials.

It's the unlikely, yet winning, combination of scatological humor, raw human honesty, and sweet romance that makes Obvious Child so much fun and so satisfying to watch. Jenny Slate's wonderfully vulnerable performance keeps Donna's journey real as she tentatively strips back her sarcastic armor and allows herself to trust—at least for now.

Ah fuck it. I am sleepy. Anyways leave me something if you are curious and hell just to strike a conversation. Thanks. See ya. Night.
Well seem's another night of nothing really to do since my mother has once again kicked me out of the bedroom. I have a good… five hours till I can sleep and what will I be doing with my spare time? Why reading and burning the last of my energy. Yaaaaay…. So fucking happy.
Shuichi's eyes were dim when he nodded his head and looked away, taking in a deep breath to regain himself. But when he felt Yuki began to clean him up and take care of him, he smiled and shook his head of the negative thoughts How could he ever think so negative when Yuki was right there, comforting him, cleaning him up, and been going as far as nearly reading how he felt. And this was something new. Usually he was able to hide his pain and emotions when he did not want to worry Yuki, but this time, he lost his defensive walls and Shuichi was being his real self around Yuki and he decided that maybe it would be best if he did just let the other take care of him and see when he was sick and allow the other to keep him at top peak instead of faking it.
As he cleaned Yuki hoped that the marks would fade. Not because he was hoping to have Shuichi be beautiful, but because he wanted the other not to have to look in the mirror and remember. Shuichi would always be beautiful in his eyes simply for be so damn sure of the goodness in him that the blond didn't see himself. If the singer had to deal with the scar and see it each day remembering the fear and pain it would kill Yuki somehow. Still as he was working on drying the wound's he gently ran his hand down his lover's side and sighed. "If we clean it properly it won't scar…" he said before he put some cloth mesh on it before he started wrapping Shu up. Making sure it was tight, but not to tight to hurt him. His hands were gentle and sure as he moved and he looked over his work when he was done. Making sure he didn't leave any bumps. Getting up he brushed his pants off before he ran a hand a hand through his hair. "Get in bed Shu. I'm crawling in there." he said as he started undressing.
Shuihi blushed deeply at the overly delicate side of Yuki came out and smiled as he touched his own side and nodded his head. He did fear it scaring and did not want to have to limit wearing sexy clothing for the other in fear of the scar being visible. When he was told to move, Shuichi quickly crawled to the top of the bed, off to once side, leaving room for the other. He say there and watched the other strip down to his own boxers - the site never seized to turn Shuichi on. but he figured it was a good thing, showing he was still attracted to him. "i love you." He said, simply as usual and closed his eyes to smile at him. "I will be alright. And you will be, too."
As he got into the bed Yuki was careful with his hands. Grabbing one of the pillow's he laid down as he pulled Shu's back into his chest and stole a small kiss on his shoulder. Feeling the smaller body mold into his he sighed contently since the moment Shu was settled they would stay that way all night. Which was a feeling Yuki couldn't replace. "Night Shu…" The writer said softly as he yawned before pulling the cover's over them. The warmth lulling him to sleep as was the soft breathing of his lover. Without realizing it he listened to his lover's breathing all night long.
Morning came, the sun bleeding though the curtains and awoke the young vocalist. A sweet and innocent heat covered his face as he opened his amethyst eyes, smiling as he felt the hold Yuki had on him still as strong as ever. He looked at him over his shoulder and sighed as he quickly reminded himself of what had happened over the past few days. But knowing Yuki was content and asleep made him worry all the less about the both of them; not to mention he adored how much Yuki was opening up and he was seeing how much the novelist treasured him.
It had been a long night and Yuki may have woken up a few times, but in the early morning when he was finally in a deep sleep he felt his lover waking. As the sun hit his face the blond moved closer to the warm body he held and hid in the singer's neck. Slowly waking himself up by hiding there for some time as he realized he was holding Shu across the chest and loosen his hold. "Morning…" He said in a harsh voice before clearing his voice and his body went slack for a moment. He had to call his manager and tell her he'd be taking off for a while. Glancing from his hiding place he caught his lover's eyes and sighed softly. Seeing that smile made him relax a little..
Shuichi slowly winced as he moved to sit up and pulled Yuki lazily into his lap. "My love… continue to rest." He whispered and reached down to pet the male, running his slender pale fingers though the blond soft locks of hair. "You deserve it. Close you eyes and get more sleep. Please. For me. Rest." He whimpered in a whisper, looking at him. He still felt so much guilt for putting Yuki though this, but knowing he would take a few weeks off he knew would be good.
Shaking his head some Yuki looked to his lover with a sigh. He needed to get thing's done before he could truly rest for a while, but when he felt Shu running his finger's through his hair the man stopped fighting for a moment. He loved when the singer played with his hair and even though he'd not admit it it relaxed him more then anything. Sighing softly he wrapped an arm around his lover's waist. "Shu I need… To check your wounds… Call the manager…" he mumbled as he yawned before hiding his face in his lover's thigh. It was sad when he was this relaxed because he acted like a content cat.

This school had a really great impact on me. The teachers actually take the time to give extra help where help is needed. This school is the reason I am who I am today.
What those other happy kids don't tell you are that the teachers are horrible. They are only nice to the 'popular' kids. Once I wanted to sign up for the cheerleaders. The coach point blank told me that he 'didn't want to give the school a bad name'. He didn't even let me try out before cutting me. I went here for three years before I got tired and left.
This school is really fun. I went to school there for 3 years.
This school is great, excellent teachers and one heck of a princiable. I was a student there for 2 years, and I loved it, great one-on-one with us students and the teachers. Great learning exceperinces and trips!!! Enroll this year and you will love it!
this school stratined my kid out on the path to leadership

WOLFHEAD - Wolfhead - LP
Vinyl LP (Blue) - Doomentia Records - 2011.
WOLFHEAD. Ambicioso proyecto creado por Iosué (BETWEEN THE FROST), Javi Bastard (GRAVEYARD) y Iván (WARCHETYPE) que navega por las aguas de los mares del Heavy metal, Stoner, Rock'n'Roll, Grunge... con influencias tan dispares como Motörhead, Darkthrone o Bathory.
RED FANG - Murder the Mountains
Vinyl LP - Relapse Records - 2011.
Red Fang deals in kick-ass heavy rock. On their Chris Funk produced, Vance Powell mixed, Relapse debut, Murder The Mountains, the quartet wave a middle finger at fashion and beat the proverbial house on substance over style.
RED FANG - Whales And Leaches - LP
Vinyl LP Gatefold - Relapse Records - 2013.
Portland, OR's ultimate hard-rockin' party bringers emerge from two years of constant touring with their new full length album 'Whales And Leeches'.
There's certainly no shortage of fun on their new record, but 'Whales And Leeches' sees Red Fang further maturing into top notch songwriters and musicians.
SUPA SCOOPA - Slices of Life
CD - Odio Sonoro/Radix rec. - 2012.
Tercer disco en su ya dilatada carrera con casi diez años de stoner a sus espaldas.
9 temas y casi 50 intensos minutos en su trabajo más redondo y que deja bien claro desde un principio que lo suyo son los riffs gordos y contundentes con buenas dosis del heavy más clásico y del metal de los 90s.

BLACK DEBBATH - Den Femte Statsmakt
CD - Duplex records - 2004.
The 3rd album from the stoner band, Black Debbath.
The album is entitled Den Femte Statmakt (in English The 5th Estate), meaning the most powerful men of Norwegian bureaucracy, and it has been highly acclaimed by Norwegian media. It has made them the most-selling metal band in Norway.
BLACK DEBBATH - Nå Får Det faen Meg Være Rock! Akademisk Stoner-Rock!
CD Digipack- Duplex records - 2013.
Their sixth and latest CD, (Now, God Dammit It Must Be Rock! Academic Stoner-Rock!). So far this CD is considered the best from the band. Black Debbath's lyrics are absurd and surrealistic, but as with all comedy acts, they work because the band is really good and they are quite serious about their music. Highly recommend !!!
BLACK DEBBATH - Hyller Kvinnen!
CD - Duplex records - 2007.
5th. album from leading Norweigan stoner rock combo, throwing you back into the 1971's of BLACK SABBATHs "Vol 4" style. Great and recommended band !
BLACK DEBBATH - Tung, Tung Politisk Rock
CD - Duplex records - 1999.
'99 album from outrageous Norweigan band, his first album where we find their roots of their heavy and aggressive doomy 70's hardrock style. Norweigan vocals (sounds very good !) and blistering guitar riffs, making them a Norweigan version of ABRAMIS BRAMA. Top band!
CATAPULT THE SMOKE - Born in Fire
CD - Orchestrated Misery Records - 2011.
Swedish stoner-doom trio's 2nd full length recording!!! An absolute necessity for those who dare tread the path...
CATAPULT THE SMOKE - Unearthed
CD - Orchestrated Misery Records - 2009.
The Swedes have done it again. Influences range from classic 70's Hard Rock to Sludge to Doom and its all done with sheer class. The production on this release is excellent and the playing is top notch, vocals suit the music perfectly and it is obvious from listening to this that the band really enjoys what they are doing.
YELLOWTOOTH - Disgust
CD - Orchestrated Misery Records - 2012.
From Indiana's YELLOWTOOTH. Fuzzed out, sludged up, pumped full of death, and stoned out of its goddamned mind, Disgust is the product of a veteran trio of 40-somethings that have done time in CHRONIC DISORDER, SHADES OF GREY, SKULLVIEW, SEA OF TRANQUILLITY, NOCTURNAL TORMENT, and INVASION.

Fort Myers, Fla.--If you have some extra clothing filling up your closet, the Salvation Army could use your help. Sales stores are stable, but donations have slowed down. Compared to last year, Major Tom Louden says donations are down by as much as 30 percent and that means less money for programs the Salvation Army offers to the community.
Louden adds "we know it's a hard time for folks, we see it everyday. We saw an increase in 2007. We would see on average about 17 people a day for emergency assistance. Today, between 85-90 a day."
While cash donations are best, Louden says all types and sizes of clothing are desperately needed.

Dont seem people already have it?? I am sure I have seen on G+ about people updating their servers and such like to Lion already
According to The Register it is: Apple to release Mac OS X Lion on Wednesday ? The Register
As the US is just getting into work ATM and the west coast where Apple HQ is located won't be up and about for sometime yet we proberbly won't find out for another few hours at least, although there is nothing on Apples web site bar a notice announcing a launch date sometime in July.
Dont seem people already have it?? I am sure I have seen on G+ about people updating their servers and such like to Lion already
yeah apple store is down
Keep us updated if any of you get the update today please
Not sure if I will move over to it yet, planning a fresh install and its an apple release so lots will probably be broken like the last major release sadly.
I think it will be for gabs 5 - 6pm today
The rumours say 8.30 a.m. Eastern Time, so it should have been released by now.
GM version which was released to developers on 1st July (or the pirated version of that).
I've been operating a Lion GM build for a bit now and it is working well ... but it makes you realise how much better it would be to have a touch screen to work with.
I was sat last night trying to do some stuff on different machines and went to swipe the screen on my MBP running Lion ... and wondered why it wasn't responding!
Purchased and will download tonight.
LMAO "The worlds most advanced operating system"
Has anyone played with the server version of it yet? If I upgrade my server to lion server (via app store) will it still manage snow leopard clients or to improve on the service, have to upgrade them too?

Natural gas conversion/usage for the trucking industry is the 21st century of the 19th century snake oil sales. This subject highlights the gullibility, stupidity and greed existing among certain actors with both the trucking and energy industries. Bottom line is the entire market is being sold a complete bill of goods on natural gas. An excellent starting point begins with the following question. If natural gas is the "panacea" as portrayed by it's proponents, then why hasn't the railroad industry adopted natural gas as locomotive fuel? The RR industry would be the perfect client for natural gas usage and expansion. Why haven't the industry even tried the natural gas to fuel locomotives? When this question is answered, one realizes the true "snake oil" aspects inherent in natural gas conversion. We have been "sold" a bill of goods by the proponents of natural gas. There are other, more economical, more cost effective alternative fuel than natural gas.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

Popular Teas from SteazSee All 10 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
Woke up late for class, travel tumbler was unwashed, went to school without tea. Nooo! But we have these new "healthy" vending machines that had cans of this flavored green tea, so I thought I would try it out. It was tasty, but definitely not tea. It was more like raspberry and sugar substitute water. More like a watery juice than tea. If there was any green tea flavor, it escaped me. It's too overpriced for a can of non-tea, so I won't be getting it again. I did finish the can that I had, though, because I was thirsty and it wasn't bad for a watery juice.
Wow, this is just awful. It's very flat tasting, like a coke that's lost all its carbonation. Is this supposed to be carbonated? Blech. It's such an awful sensation to drink something that's gone flat. Although, I'm not really sure why tea would be carbonated in the first place.
On to the actual flavor, this tastes like barely flavored water. There's no green tea taste whatsoever. There's a very slight hint of lemon, but it's not very distinguishable as natural lemon. It's just sort of weird and chemical-y. Eww. This is just really bad. There's nothing redeemable about it at all.
I almost forgot that I did have this about a week ago. At first I was expecting something sweet. I have no idea why because both limes and pomegranates are the complete opposite of sweet. (Especially if you like the bitter pomegranate seeds like I do)
It was a nice light white tea with lime. The pomegranate taste was on the aftertaste side which made me sad. I was hoping the pomegranate would be the more dominant flavor with a lime aftertaste. I think this pairing would go better with a green tea, but the white tea is nice.
Backlog #1: All I remember about this was that I was really tired of HonestTea tasting like flat tea with lots of sugar and I was thirsty after work. So, I decided to try the big canned tea by Steaz and I do love peach.
This was surprisingly tasty! It actually tasted like tea with a big punch of peach in the background. Well, it was more like peach with a green tea aftertaste. But, it actually tasted like tea and even though it was sweetened, it did not taste like canned tea.
They have some more flavors so I think I'm going to make a point of trying them all because you do get tired of water all of the time. And sometimes you don't have the energy (or want) to brew and drink hot tea.
it is in fact "lightly sweetened" – just the right amount, in my opinion. The lemon is also just right, and fairly fresh tasting. Not artificial or overpowering.
I would certainly rather drink this than most take-out/restaurant teas (especially here in the south) but don't see myself buying it often, as it's not crave-worthy like their peach green.
It's drinkable and that's about it.
I don't know what it is with Steaz, but everything they sell is this weird, watery, flavorless impression of tea. Maybe labeling them as "Iced Teaz" is more than cutesy marketing; maybe it's truth in advertising and they're selling Iced Tease rather than iced tea.
Attractive color. Vaguely peachy flavor. Only the slightest hint of green tea.
Tasting Notes:
Steeped Tea Smell: lime, pomegranate
Flavor: sweet, lime, vegetal
Body: Light
Aftertaste: pomegranate
Really good iced tea with flavor (as opposed to fruit juice with some tea in it)
I would buy it again!
It is nice to find quality ready to drink teas.
Rating: 3/4 leaves
Blog: http://amazonv.blogspot.com/2012/01/steaz-ready-to-drink-can-white-tea-lime.html
This used to be great. But six months to a year ago the company changed its formula and now this is undrinkable. It's all kinds of off. The flavors don't mesh well together and the aftertaste could not be worse. Doesn't even taste like the same beverage. Too bad.

Senate rejects temporary fix for student loan rates
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Wednesday blocked a bill that offered a temporary fix for American students facing a steep increase in loan interest rates.
Senators voted 51 to 49 in favor of moving forward with the bill. But it didn't meet the 60-vote minimum threshhold to move on to the floor. The bill would have frozen interest rates on federal Stafford loans for undergraduate students at 3.4 percent for a year while lawmakers work on a long term solution.
Interest rates on federal Stafford loans doubled to 6.8 percent last week when squabbling lawmakers failed to meet a July 1 deadline to prevent the automatic increase.
Republicans and Democrats agree that student loan interest rates should be kept low but disagree on how to do that.
Democrats wanted to extend the low rate for another year while working on a long-term solution, but they did not win enough Republican support in the Senate for the bill to be considered.
Colleges start opening for the new school year next month, and students who take out new loans originated after June 30 could end up paying up to $4,000 more on their loans by the time they complete a four-year degree.
The bill would have ensured that future federal student loans would carry a fixed 3.4 percent rate and would prevent students who took out loans since July 1 from paying the higher rate.
"Today's failure to reach a deal on student loan rates is a disappointment," said Anne Johnson, director of Campus Progress at the Center for American Progress. "Students and families can't afford a hike in college costs, but that's exactly what they'll face this fall if the partisan back-and-forth continues."
The group has been leading students to Washington to press lawmakers to keep interest rates from escalating. More than 7 million students will be affected by the rate increase.
Student loan debt in the United States now exceeds $1 trillion and is already affecting borrowers' financial decisions such as purchasing homes, cars or saving for retirement.
Higher interest rates, lawmakers and economists fear, will make higher education less attainable and saddle young people with debt.
Democratic Senator Jack Reed, who sponsored the proposal blocked by the Senate, said that if lawmakers acted swiftly on a retroactive fix the Department of Education had agreed to change its borrowing program to keep new borrowers from paying the new higher rate.
"Helping students is the right thing to do and a smart way to strengthen our economy," Reed said. "But once again, while a majority of Senators voted to keep student loans affordable, some Senators used procedural tactics to block help for middle-class families."
Congress delayed confronting the issue in 2012, an election year, and let the July 1 deadline arrive without acting.
Before the Senate vote, the Obama administration said it supported the Reed bill, saying that the plan would give students the certainty of fixed interest rates and help make college affordable for needy students.
Meanwhile, senators including West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin and North Carolina Republican Richard Burr, are pushing what they are calling a bipartisan market-based bill.
That plan would peg interest rates every academic year to the 10-year Treasury borrowing rate, plus 1.85 percent for undergraduate Stafford loans.
That bill mirrors another Republican bill that passed in the House of Representatives in May, but continues to be criticized by Democrats and has been stalled.
But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he will not allow any bill that leaves students exposed to the whims of market interest rates, which are expected to rise as the economy improves.
Republicans have accused Democrats of seeking only a temporary patch. Democrats accuse Republicans of touting plans that could raise the college costs and unfairly target families to fund the nation's deficit.
(Replaces second paragraph to drop 'not,' show vote was to move forward)
(Reporting by Elvina Nawaguna; Editing by Doina Chiacu and Marilyn W. Thompson)
The student loan debt is now reported to have another increased again now $1.2 Trillion if that's not bad enough, it get worse this debt is growing at its fastest pace to date!
Real solutions are needed! The Universities and Colleges have become junkies waiting on their next fix because subsidies are increasing yearly. The student loan program is corrupt to the very core! We need to slow this runaway train down. Solutions will not happen overnight, but we need to take the huge profits out of education and put our children first!
Universities and College need to become self-sustainable this can be done by creating their own nonprofit banks funding their students at a low fixed rate! Now they are responsible for their own success or failure. This system will also create checks and balances and lower tuition cost!
