Two drunk employees . Two drunk employees come home and fuck each other on the couch.
That gay is not lucky to have a boyfriend now. He's all alone at home, and his ass wants some action. After some beer with that empty bottle he starts petting his anus - slowly pulling that bottle into his butt. Jerking off simultaneously with that shit is something he needs to be done. .
Gorgeous guy in his bed showing hard body and cock . Gorgeous guy in his bed showing hard body and cock
The guy is willing for sex. However - no free cocks available for him at the moment. Just he, his cock and a bottle of beer - his only hope for tonight. Amazing, but he thinks over how to pull it deep into his ass, and actually he does that shit so sexy. We know you'll want to watch it. .
Beers and dicks make these two hunk . Beers and dicks make these two hunk
After a couple drinks, feeling free and horny enough, our two lovers get plunged in dirty sex action like cock eating and drilling of the ass. One after another step, the cocks get more and more erected and the guys get hornier and hornier. You, guys, rock - we wanna say, looking at these drunk gays. .
Watch a sissy cute gay getting fucked real hard for a drink. It has never been easier to lure a silly dilly into a nice drill, and sure enough his horny companion has had a good bargain over the yummy anal crack of a young gay boy who was going out of himself to please his generous host by sucking his enormous cock and exposing his wide open anal hole to it kneeling on all fours. .

And a moment later the girl is laying on the floor, gorging the long prick that moves back and forth, and his owner thinks, how can he fuck her on the stairs this evening, anticipating with pleasure her panties, lowered a little...
That obese drunken guy and his immature lover forget about shame and age difference and just get into bed for fucking. Lovely gay shit to watch, indeed. We recommend you the scenes with blowjob done over fat man's cock so stiff and hard. That inexperienced boy will learn a lot. .
Lying on that huge bed, these two drunken guys start making out and then slowly undress each other. The action wouldn't be that hot if this nasty couple wasn't drunk. So, ass-drilling is really extremely hot and hard, the guy who has his arse fucked feels the top of that anal dirty pleasure. .

But the guy seemed to enjoy the whole experience of sixty-nining, getting drilled and then drunk! .
Blonde mommy gets violated by a bunch of college students . Samantha lay in the pool enjoying mild-warm water that caressed her gentle skin and lulled her into a doze. Her peace was disturbed by three naked lads that jumped into the pool and attacked her with three stiff cocks that drilled her mouth and pussy like jackhammers. She probably could bear it, unless one of three violators was her best class student.
An explicit gay video featuring a mature gay talking his smart younger companion into sucking his huge cock and then holding his anal crack wide open for deep penetration after just a few drinks! A steaming hot bathroom episode includes incessant sucking, dog style fucking, and showers of hot manly cream. .
That you have to watch for sure. It gets so seldom to see the gays with beautiful, svelte bodies and tight muscles - this case is the one I talk about. After a bottle of alcohol, the get undressed and have their butts speared through by their erected dicks. Breath-taking gay shit to watch. .

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Farwell was the only choice for children. After looking into various other elementary schools and meeting the principal and some of the teachers, we found that the environment at Farwell was so much better than the other schools. I have no idea how Longley ended up rated number 1...but like they say...Don't always believe everything you read.
My grandchildren attend Farwell school and I am very impressed with Principal St.Andre, the teachers and students' behavior. I find that teachers and staff care greatly about the students and it shows in the students' grades and behavior.
Farwell has been a great school for the 7 years i'v been there. I used to think a few teachers where mean but then i realized that they are STRICT not mean its just that they are doing there job. Teaching. As the first graduating class of Farwell School. We, need to realize this is the first year at the new location somethings went bad some good you cant expect everything to be perfect can you?those bads are going to get fixed for the following years...My last year at farwell school Was great. We had great teachers not just them but our entire time at farwell Elementary School .
My son was able to attend the Pre K progam this year at Farwell and he loves it. When they had vaction he was sad because he was not able to go to school. The teachers are wonderful with the children and very understanding. I do wish we as parents had aa chance to be more involved with the class. I know that my husband and I bought our house so we could have our children attend farwell school because of the wonderful things we have heard. We are looking forward to our son coming to this school next year. I am hopeful that they will have some after school activities for the older children down the road. We as parents are looking forward to many more years here at Farwell School.
My neices are 8 and 12 and have luckily been at Farwell all of their school age years. They are involved in after school activities like band and student councel. The teachers have always been available upon request and have even let me volunteer to chaperone field trips though I have no children at this school. I don't mean to be too judgemental but sometimes I think that too many parents aren't persistent enough where their children are concerned. Budgets and the number of available teachers are issues everywhere and there is a higher demand for them to see results. Thank God for Bush! You need to insist on better programs or responses if you believe it isn't good enough. We live in a democracy where one person can make a difference. Instead of using your time writing negative responses, spend your time more wisely making changes in your child's life.
My daughter attended kindergarten at farwell and will not be there next year. The classes are to big and there are to many special needs in the class. My daughter is getting pushed aside and didn't learn much this year. I am sending her to a private school for 1st grade. The teacher is nice but noone can control that many kids. I have been in the class and it is a circus. I have walked off the school yard with other kids due to their mother's being late with no problem at all. That scares me. They all bust out of that door and the teacher's don't know where they are going after that. I get very little feedback from the school as to how she is doing. Only 1 parent teacher conference in a year? I would like to be more involved but don't feel comfortable.
My daughter has been at Farwell Elementary for two years. This year will be her third. Both years she has attended there, have been negative experiences for her. When she was having difficulties last year, some of the teachers told her to ignore the problems. I thought this was a school for involvement. Most of the incidents happened out at recess. Now, if you ask me, 2 adults for approx. 100 students is not sufficient supervision. The cafeteria people are extremely nice, and some of the teachers are nice, but there is much that needs to change. On this website it says that parents are encouraged to volunteer. On a few occasions, I was asked not to. Which is it? Do they like us to volunteer or don't they. Also, there is hardly anything for the kids to do as far as Extra Carricular activities. Maybe your child would like it better.

Despite all of the statements being released by the No Hockey League and the Never Have Leniency Players Association – see how this lockout has reduced me to making such cheap shots? – I had secretly spent the last two months harboring optimism regarding the lockout. Specifically, I was foolish enough to hope that each side would realize that losing another season was no way to run a business, unless you're trying to run said business into the ground.
Now that it's clear that everyone involved in this mess shares the goal of ensuring that the NHL goes the route of the Arena Football League, I have decided to wave the white flag and admit defeat. I have a better chance of sharing a winning lottery ticket with Elvis Presley this year than I do of watching NHL hockey, so I am turning my attention to the AHL and its AHL Live subscription service.
For the past two years, I have been shelling out $170 a season for NHL Gamecenter, a small price to pay for near-unlimited access to every regular season NHL game, especially when you consider the fact that I could watch games either live or on demand if I had been unable to get to my TV or computer during the live broadcast. I was expecting a similar price for the AHL's all-access package . . . and was slapped back into reality when I discovered that the AHL charges $399.99 for access to every regular season game!!!! I don't know if that has always been the price the AHL charges for their premium subscription, or if they are just price gouging us NHL fans this year because we have nowhere else to go. Regardless, I quickly ruled out that option on the grounds of not wanting to be divorced, and found myself with three other options to consider. For $199.99, I could pick one team and have access to all home and away games during the regular season, while $124.99 would get me all of the away games for any one team. I considered subscribing to the home and away games for the Rochester Amerks, but then my brain woke up and realized that I would STILL be paying more than I did for NHL Gamecenter, and would be still be getting LESS content for MORE money.
Fortunately, there was a fourth option, and this is the one I ultimately decided upon: for about $60, I could handpick any ten AHL games I wanted. This option made my wallet happy, and it just made sense; realistically, there's no way I can watch even half of the Amerks games this season, but committing to a mere ten games over the course of the season is well within my means. Plus, if I surprise myself by watching all ten reasonably quickly, I can always go back and purchase games in groups of one, five, or another ten.
Bottom line: I'm signed up to watch hockey again, baby! First chance I get, I'll watch an Amerks game and let you know how the AHL Live experience is, in case you are considering it as the cure to your NHL lockout blues. Stay tuned!

Pasta and how easy it is.
- chef chicklet Mar 5, 2009 07:03 AM
What a dope. I have owned an Atlas pasta maker for over 15 years. I have put it together looked at it, scrunized it and put it back in the box. I have made Chinese dumplings by hand, heck I've even made ravioli (Huge moon like things) but never pulled the machine out.
How freakin easy can it get? I used a recipe that had eggs, flour, and wine. I used red wine since it was open. The three year old and I mixed it, kneaded it and let it rest.
I broke out the roller contraption. I produced the most wonderful long sheets of thin silky pasta. It smelled wonderful. I was amazed at how thin and that it didn't breatk. I laid it out and cut fat strips and floured it laying it on a cookie sheet dusted with a little flour.
I think I need help with that part. What is the best way, while you're waiting to use it, to keep it from sticking together. Some stuck, but for the most part it was nice. I made chicken picatta, and the pasta absorbed the caper lemon sauce sooooooo nicely. What a treat. The hubby devoured it, my son and his girlfriend had huge crab legs (they had a craving), and they wanted the pasta. Sot they made up bowls of the pasta with the sauce. Lots of "mmmmmmm" sounds.
I just can't believe how fast it went. I am kicking myself all over the kitchen and I can't wait to try more shapes, flavors etc...
Fun stuff! So What is your favorite pasta to make, and care to share your recipes???
I have one too (maybe 20+ years!) and have done the same thing you did. Now I need to get inspired to USE it. I am SO horrible with dough!
I want to hear more about the wine in it. How much do you use and when do you add it? Does it turn colors? What kind of flavor does it add? I used corn meal when I roll/cut out the pasta to prevent sticking. First, I roll it out and let it sit so it dries some, then roll it to cut and add corn meal then. The corn meal drops to the bottom of the pot when you cook it. But, this is when I really wish I had an Italian grandmother to show me the right way to do it. I did the same thing with my Atlas, too. I pulled it out after about 12 years.
re: chowser
Well I cut the orginal recipe down. It was calling for 5 cups of flour and I think -5 6 eggs and 2 T white wine. I thought the recipe was way too much pasta. So I used 3 cups of flour and 3 eggs and just poured wine in until the dough started to come together. There is no way 5 cups could work with 2 T wine and no other liquid. So I also added a little water until I got a firm dough. Yes it turned the dough a little darker, but in a nice way.
As far at the taste, I can't compare it to anything since I've not made Italian pasta before, but the wine wasn't overwhelming. The smell was great though and the pasta was tender and silky, I think its about feel anyway.
Watching people make it, they just seem to mix and add until the dough gets right. So that's what I did. It's a real firm dough, much different than when I make pizza dough. Which when done right should feel like your earlobe.
Put the flour in add the eggs, pull the flour into the center, then I just gradually poured wine in, teensy bit at a time. Then it still was too dry, I added a few trickles of water and kept kneading and then it magically came together after a good 15 minutes. Just when you think the dough is never going to come together, it does.
Then I cut the dough into smaller pieces with a knife. This is the tricky part don't make too big of pieces or the sheets will be longer than the kitchen. Starting on the dial set at 1 then at 2 run the dough through the roller all the way through to 6 and then it will be perfect. I think there is a setting for 7 but that would of been way to thin. anyway, it goes very fast. I had a good pound and half of pasta when finished. I need a nice drying rack now.
But bayoucook, pull that puppy out. I can't tell you HOW much better the pasta tastes, everyone loved it, and was more interested in the pasta with the sauce than the picatta! Corn meal? I'll try that next time, the flour was being absorbed into the pasta.
re: chef chicklet
Thanks, different from the recipe I usually use. I use both eggs and egg yolks and a combination of semolina flour for more bite. I've never thought to use wine but I'll have to give it a try. My kids love making the well and mixing the pasta. It's the best family activity.
re: chowser
chowswer this is the recipe that I started to make yesterday, and then changed it because I didn't want to make pasta for an army. I used their ingredient list just switched down the volume. I think I'll try it again with your suggestion using semolina. I have a bag in the freezer and will finally use it!
The 3 yr old cracked me up when we were kneading the dough, he looked up at me, flour sticking to every single finger and said "Dis hard mom-mom". : )
re: chef chicklet
CC! I use a wooden folding clothes dryer/rack that I got from walmart for around $10. It works great and holds a bunch of pasta. Spread newspaper underneath it, give the dowels a good flouring and hang your pasta to dry. Then give it a quick wipe down with a dry towel after you're done and it folds up to hide away.
The more you make pasta the faster it becomes. I pulled the little doohickey from the cupboard a couple of years ago and decided to either use it or or give it away. I used it and it was good.
I make pasta when I'm using an oil or cream based sauce. The soft noodles absorb all the fat from the sauce. And homemade ravioli and tortellini can't be beat - even so much better than 'home-made' retail.
Parchment or waved paper keeps the pasta from sticking. And I just learned a new trick - when kneading the pasta, cut into it and look for air pockets. If there are, keep kneading. And there's some saying, I've heard, about checking the pasta dough of the girl you're planning to marry (geez).
Favorites - ravioli with pear and picorino, fettuccine made with spinach, and just plain ol' fettuccine alfredo.
re: alwayscooking
that ac, I was making pretty fat noodles, like a smaller papperadelle type. I've seen people toss them into a pile with flour so I did the same. I might of taken too long, I had to make the other dish too so they say a bit. I appreciate the input, parchment paper I got.
How about sharing your pasta recipe for pear and pecorino?Sounds pretty interesting.
re: chef chicklet
Lidia B's recipe for Pear and Picorino Ravioli
3-4 Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, and large grated (approximately 1 pound)
3 Tablespoons mascarpone
1 pound grated fresh Pecorino Romano cheese grated large
And combine
4 ounces aged grated Pecorino Romano cheese (to finish pasta)
6 ounces butter
Black peppercorn, coarsely ground, to taste
Cook pasta al dete. In sauce pan, melt the butter with a little pasta water water, add the barely cooked ravioli and finish. Garnishwith grated cheese and pepper.
re: alwayscooking
omg what a delcious starter! I am so anxious to try this, thank you!
About how thin do you roll the dough, for the pasta I was making I was rolling it at 6 on the dial, it has one more setting of 7 for an even thinner dough. However I have no idea what the thickness is, but pretty thin..What do you recommend for ravioli? As you see I am totally a beginner and I got very lucky with successful pasta last night!
re: chef chicklet
When I had it at her restaurant Felidia in NY, it was served as an app. The pasta was simply folded over, thin enough to see through and the edges/lips were fairly large.
I've made this at home with varying sucess (in comparison). The 7 on the dial is closest to what I had (and adored) but I have a hard time making and filling without tearing. When I've gone to 6, it was easier to manage but made the edges to thick IMO but have consistent results. In the future, I may try another yolk or somehow thin the edges when they are formed.
Let me know how you do - it's well worth it.
re: alwayscooking
I thought 6 was thin enough, I was running the dough through each setting a couple of times to enseure the thin pasta. Loved 6, I concur, 7 would probably tear-on machine anyway. I bought a small little rolling pin, perfect for tiny hands and for small little circles of pasta and their edges. It is turqoise colored and I got it at Marshall or Ross. But that will work beautifully for finishing edges. I only mentioned the color because it is made of some hard poly/plastic non stick material. I've seen them in red and green before. I checked it and of course I can't find any branding...
re: chef chicklet
I'm wondering if different brands of machines vary as to their settings. My KA will go to 7 easily and even to 8.
re: c oliver
Wow, have an Atlas over 20 years old, dial goes to 7. I need more practice for the setting!
re: chef chicklet
I used jfood's ravioli/lasagne dough recipe which has about a third semolina. I think it rolled out easier than when I used all AP flour. But, again, I'm in kindergarten on this whole process :)
re: c oliver
yep me too. Its fun kindergarten though huh?
I've got semolina in the freezer which I've been hoping to use. I was searching and searching for a good pasta recipe when I tried this the other day. What 's amazing to me is that there are sooo many fresh pasta dough recipes out there! I only used the Bistro Don Giavanni recipe because I've eaten there many times and have always been so happy with the paparadelle.
Even so, as I was making the dough I got impatient, I used the wrong wine, red instead of white. It changed the color of the dough a little, not in a bad way. What I am learning is that pasta dough has room for mods and perhaps explains why so many recipes.
Whoever said ( on the freezing raviolo thread) about making fresh pasta and it not lasting in the fridge and the way it becomes sn..., well I'm so glad they posted that little tidbit, because I was worried when I saw some of my leftover pasta...I had no idea!
It is so nice to have Chowhound it's a valuable site. To be able to talk and exchange recipe information that is sometimes crucial for success. More often than not, this is exactly the kind of info that a lot of cookbooks or posted recipes leave out and it will definitely discourage the cook~
re: c oliver
I really think the flour makes all the difference- my AP batches were sad, but once I found Type 00 flour (I had to hunt for it- and I'm in the Detroit burbs, so it is not the most common thing to find), they immediately improved greatly.
And there is a terrific amount of room for mods- personally, I don't add any oil, but I'll toss in whatever water-based puree strikes my fancy. I accidentally made buckwheat pasta once that didn't turn out too badly (bag from the farmer's market is only labeled BW in sharpie and it was in the fridge where the whole wheat went- it was the first time I'd used their ww. I thought it looked funny!).
re: alwayscooking
OK - new info since I remade this with a couple of new techniques. My roller goes to 7 and I've had problems getting it that thin without tearing. This time I kneaded until there were no more holes when the dough was cut. I also reran the dough multiple times at the same setting when reaching the higher numbers. And (this time I wasn't lazy) I cut the dough each time it reached about 2 feet rather than just once or twice - I had better control while I feed, turned, and caught the dough.
re: alwayscooking
I know I did the same thing draping the dough over my arm, made it awkward. It's so dramatic though! I made the mistake the first time of letting it fold down on to itself. um....not a good idea, it sticks. Putting the dough through the same setting more than once for me, produced a very lovely silky texture. I added only a drop of oil. Next time, I'm going to use more eggs and semolina and see what I get.
I'm still working on my pasta drying racks, I need wooden dowels or something, and I'm thinking for me the best place to dry the pasta, a place where dust or animals can't get near it is my laundry room. Can't wait!
Making pasta is very much like creating an art project.
re: alwayscooking
I'm a newbie but had been folding and rolling multiple times through every setting. But then I ready somewhere ??? to stop the folding when you get to the higher/thinner settings. I'm going to try that next time. And yes cut in half more often.
re: c oliver
I've been told to cut by 18" and it's made rolling out pasta so much easier. I also don't fold once I get to the thinner settings.
re: chowser
When you get to the thinner settings, do you still roll a piece multiple times, just not fold?
re: c oliver
No, I only roll once when I get past about 4, depending on how the dough feels. But, this is something I've done reading, asking CHers, experimenting on my own. I've always wished I had an Italian grandmother who could show me the right way to do it.:-)
re: chowser
Yeah, me too. Plus I might have gotten pretty, naturally curly, black hair!
Have you ever tried freezing pasta after rolling but before cutting?
re: c oliver
No, I've never made enough to freeze, either before or after cutting. Limited counterspace and I don't have a wooden rack, which I should get. Whatever I make, we eat.
It is really easy...shusshhhh... don't tell anyone.
The best way to avoid the sticking is to hand it to dry for a bit (15 or 20 min is okay). There are special pasta racks for this, but clean hangers over a door knob, or a pole of some sort between two chairs, or a folding clothes dryer will work equally as well and aren't uni-taskers.
re: Stuffed Monkey
You know I knew I saw pasta racks but where? I like the idea of the coat hangers but I think my hubby would freak out. You should of heard him complaining about something about me and me using every dish and counter in the kitchen blah blah blah. But he sure loved the meal.
re: Stuffed Monkey
I have made a lot not not recently due to space, but I used a big roll of plastic tubing, it was clean so I used it and it worked great. I just put it between 2 chairs. It was about 1/4 " in diameter. At any home store, home depot, I think I got mine at the fish or pet store for my fish take. Worked great, Not lines or stretching. Easy solution. Seemed funny, but found it on the web a few years ago. I laughed until I tried it.
My husband and I went on a pasta-making binge about 10 or more years ago. Got the hand-crank machine and went crazy. My favorite was to roll two long sheets ultra thin, then brush an egg-wash over one sheet and lay on it leaves of parsley, dill, tiny basil leaves, whatever... then lay the other sheet over it. Run the two sheets together through the machine one last time, and cut into papardelle. Served it with browned butter & shallots.Haven't used the machine in years! Perhaps this will inspire me... nah.
re: Deenso
OMG I think that is just too funny. Seriously you must of had a lot of time on your hands!
Bet they were pretty though and made Martha proud. I don't have the patience, and no one here would ever notice if I had a piece of parsley or a dandelion weed on on it. They eat first and then ask. Seriously, I love the browned butter and shallots and I think about butternut squash with sage all the time... Paparadelle is my favorite especially with John Besh's short ribs. I will be making fresh pasta next time I make that dish. I'll knock it out of the ball park. thanks!
re: chef chicklet
"Seriously you must of had a lot of time on your hands!"
- - - - - - - - -
Oh, yeah - we did it on the weekends - at our cabin - when there was little else to do. And, yes, it looked pretty ridiculous: pinching individual leaves off the parsley stems and placing them ever-so-gently on the pasta sheet - just a little OCD, if you ask me. But it WAS pretty and actually quite impressive. To tell the truth though, I'll forego the effort and open a box of dried pasta and, honestly, be just as happy. Who needs little leaves?
We've been making cut pasta and filled pasta for years. The easiest way to keep it from sticking is to heavily dust it in flour and freeze it on a sheet tray right away.
If you really want to go nuts with your hand crank pasta machine, buy the clip on motor for it on Ebay or elsewhere...you'll never go back.
re: Den
I think I saw that awhile ago, I don't know if I'm coordinated enough to handle a machine running and holding pasta in the other hand. But I might get there, give me time! thanks!
I was dusting with flour last night, maybe just not enough??Because the pasta on the bottom was sticking together and I had to peel them apart. Would you freeze it even if you're going to use that evening?
re: Den
I used my hand cranking for a while. Bought the motor and it would not fit on my machine unless I ordered an adapter. So, I returned it. SO glad I did because then I bought the pasta attachment (3 pieces) for my Kitchen Aid mixer. I think I saw Batali use it on Oprah and then saw other demonstrations on YouTube. I really love it and now need to find someone to give my old one to. Hazan says to use the thinnest setting for lasagna. Her method is a lot of work but so good.
re: c oliver
I think doing the well is one of the fun parts of it.
re: chowser
I have to use my KA- I'm too lazy to mix and knead by hand!
I usually make whole wheat pasta- I use about half Italian Type 00 flour and half whole wheat, and usually four eggs for 3 cups of flour, depending on humidity. Sometimes I'll do spinach pasta using frozen spinach I pureed and then refroze in ice cube trays.
re: Coconuts
I've said this before but it's part of my core workout. I get out my BOSU, stand on one leg and knead. I'm too short to get knead easily without it. I haven't ventured out to flavored pastas but spinach pasta sounds good. I love paglia e fieno.
re: c oliver
oh why didn't I think of that! Thanks!
I am just now getting into making my own pasta. I love all the ideas here. If I come up with anything tasty, I'll be sure to come back and share.
Here's a thread I started about freezing ravioli and it's gotten much broader than that so it might be useful to others:
I'm super newbie to anything to do with any kind of dough. But last night's foray was the most successful yet. And I only used half the dough last night and rolled the rest out today. Seems fine but haven't cooked yet. Made up the remaining cheese and still had dough left. So made fettucine with that; don't know if semolina is appropriate for that but figured I'd give it a try. I'm enjoying this thread also. I LOVE pasta and if I can make it really well at home, that is going to be so cool.
re: c oliver
Wish I had access to my pasta maker or had room ...
It is easy and much simpler than most people think. Lots of fun.
re: c oliver
jfoods ravioli is one that I can't wait to try. The other is the pasta that my Italian friend who uses her grandma's recipe for fresh zucchini and fresh tomato pasta with basil, and ricotta. Her dinner was so wonderful, my hubby and I darn near died of happieness right there! My meat eating husband hadn't a clue that we had pretty much a vegetarian meal. They grow their own roma tomatoes, sweet peas, and zucchini. All of it was just incredible.
I am totally inspired by this whole thread, but especially the recipe with pears and picorino and the paparadelle.
Can't wait to start playing around.
I posted earlier but you might have missed it. I use a cheap wood clothes drying rack for drying pasta. Got mine at a walmart for around $10 but I've seen them at dollar stores too. Set them up on some newspaper, flour the dowels and load your pasta on to dry. When you're done, brush off the flour, fold up the frame and stash it away. It holds tons of pasta and costs way less than a rack made specifically for drying pasta. At the end of the growing season it serves as a drying rack for bundles of herbs.
re: morwen
I regret I did not buy one of those; I stupidly bought a $40 plastic one and the pasta will stick a bit because no flour will stay on the plastic rods. At least, it folds up and away nicely.

The City of Las Cruces' Sustainability Program draws from a well-established sustainability framework, the Triple Bottom Line (TBL). The TBL is designed to help organizations balance economic vitality, environmental health, and social responsibility now and in the future.
It is a departure from making decisions based solely on the financial bottom-line. It reflects a greater awareness of the impacts of our decisions on the environment, society and the economy - and how those impacts are related. The intersection of economic viability, environmental health, and social responsibility is where sustainability is achieved.
The City Council formally adopted the Sustainability Action Plan 2014-2017 on June 16, 2014.
The June, 2014 edition of Sustainability Matters newsletter explores the triple bottom line –economics, environment, and people – in an everyday decision about bottled water.
What's your opinion about which bottle of water is best for every day use? How can we support sustainable practices?

Stakeholders promote funding for pesticide safety
The Weed Science Society of America and more than 30 organizations from the scientific community, government, education and industry have made a commitment in launching the National Stakeholder Team for Pesticide Safety Education Program Funding.
The funding group has an unusually long name for working in conjunction with the U.S. Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP), which is the nation's primary program for pesticide applicator education.
"There is nothing more vital to the safety of rural and urban pesticide applicators, farm workers, the general public and the environment than comprehensive education on all aspects of pesticide handling and use," said Lee Van Wychen, Ph.D., science policy director of the Weed Science Society of America. "We must ensure the program's effectiveness and longevity with appropriate support by stakeholders at both the state and national level."
Objectives of the diverse new group include: establishing a permanent source of federal funding for PSEP in every state and territory; determining the potential for additional support through state and territory pesticide product registration fees, enforcement fines and more; exploring ways for stakeholders to provide unrestricted gifts, grants and endowments to support PSEP; and promoting awareness of PSEP and the importance of program funding.
Members of the stakeholder initiative to date include:
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
- U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture
- Montana Department of Agriculture
- North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
- Office of the Indiana State Chemist
- Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
- Agricultural Retailers Association
- American Association of Pesticide Safety Educators
- American Farm Bureau Federation
- American Mosquito Control Association

First off, a couple disclaimers: First, this post is not intended to imply that my department did a poor job preparing me for the job search. Without the advice and guidance they provided I probably wouldn't have gotten the job that I did. But the thing about the job search is that it is such a long, complicated process that it's just impossible to cover everything that someone would want to know about the search. The purpose of this piece is to discuss those components of the job search that caught me off guard, the things I didn't expect or that, in hindsight, I realize would have been very useful things to have known going into my own search.
Secondly, some of this advice won't hold much relevance outside of my own field, but I'll try to note when that's the case. All of this advice won't be useful to everyone, but it's my hope that some of this advice will be useful to someone.
1.) It's impossible to start too early.
I thought I was getting on the ball by starting on my job search materials as soon as the Fall semester started, but come mid-October I was still struggling to get my materials together and watching the earliest deadlines slip by. All of your materials need to be top notch and it will take a lot longer than you'd probably guess to get your CVs, cover letters, teaching philosophies and other materials written, updated and revised than you would guess. Getting your materials started or updated should be a summer project so that come Fall semester you can have them revised and ready to go by the time those first early October deadlines come.
But even still, I would have started earlier than that if I had thought to. Every year of my PhD before the year of my job search I would glance through the listings to get a sense of what kind of jobs were out there but I realized during my job search that I should have followed the listings much more closely and checked them much more frequently than I did. I could have gone into my own search with a much better sense of what colleges are looking for and what kind of jobs are out there. So, if it's not too late for you, spend each year of your PhD really closely following and reading the job listings, because it will give you a very strong sense of what the job market is like and what you can expect when you're finally ready to go at it for real.
2.) You have no idea how much material you will need to create.
Going into my job search, I knew I would need a CV, teaching philosophy, letters of recommendation and a few variations of my cover letter tailored to the different types of jobs I would apply for. But I didn't know I would also need to create a statement of administration philosophy, curriculum contribution statement, dissertation summary, research summary, writing samples, sample syllabi, statement of experience with students in research or scholarship (yes, that is a thing) and, while I didn't apply for any job that needed one, a statement of faith if you want to apply to a Christian college. I had not known that any of these would be necessary (though only a handful of jobs I applied for asked for most of these). One of the things you're going to have to take into consideration is whether or not you want the job badly enough to have to create these materials because you may decide its not worth the extra effort (I only used the administrative philosophy for three or four jobs and the experience with students etc. was only used at one place). One school I applied for asked for a document describing three dream courses I'd love to teach, but that was quite a pleasurable document to create.
On a side note related to this, be sure to always pay very careful attention to the submission instructions the school asks for. Oftentimes those rules are in place to rule out any application that can't follow the directions.
3.) You will receive an infuriating amount of conflicting, contradictory advice.
This is one of the most frustrating components of the job search, especially because everyone who gives advice means well and is genuinely trying to help you, but after talking to enough people you won't know which way is up anymore. I was told to only apply for around ten jobs, to apply for about twenty, to aim for fifty, to apply for as many jobs as I possibly can. I was told that the dissertation is the most important part of your qualifications, I was told that nobody cares about the dissertation and it's your research agenda that's most important, I was told that your research agenda isn't as important as your letters of recommendation, and so on.
I ultimately found that it was most useful to go by my instincts. For example, I saw no value in trying to limit the number of jobs I applied for so I applied for as many as I could and after looking through the sheer variety of jobs out there I think I understand why no one can seem to agree on what the most important part of your qualifications are. For me, it was the variety of my teaching experience as well as my experience with creating curricula that netted me a job, but for many of my friends it was their research, their dissertation or their administrative experience. What you should really be aware of is that it's hard to say what part of your experience is going to net you a job, which is a good argument for being as balanced as possible in your qualifications.
4.) Create a spreadsheet.
I figured this one out on my own and was glad to have figured it out early on, but I started keeping all the jobs I wanted to apply for in a spreadsheet that included, the college, location, position, duties, course load, minimum and desired qualifications, materials needed and deadlines. It was an absolute godsend for helping me keep track of deadlines and which schools I had and had not applied to. Maybe not a spreadsheet per se, but have some way to keep track of the jobs you want to apply to. A little bit of organization goes a long way.
5.) You will probably have to book MLA without knowing whether you have an interview
It's an unfortunate truth that many colleges still hold job interviews at MLA every year and won't give much consideration to contacting you about it a week before the convention. Because of this, don't be the least bit surprised if you find yourself having to plan to attend MLA without even knowing whether or not you'll have an interview there.
There's quite a lot about the job search process that's frustrating but this is one component of it that desperately needs to be changed. In the age of Skype and so many other means of long-distance communication there's no need to make anyone travel for a preliminary interview anymore. But even if you are insistent on keeping to the MLA tradition, it is extremely disrespectful to the very tight budgets and schedules of PhD students to make them pay hundreds of dollars for MLA without any guarantee that they could even expect an interview. Any college that insists on clinging to this practice could at least do their prospective candidates the courtesy of notifying them well enough ahead of time that they can plan for MLA knowing that it will be worth their while to show up.
For those of you who are on the receiving end of this system, sorry but there's not much you can do about it. Hopefully you'll get at least one interview at MLA.
6.) About that whole geography thing…
If your experience was anything like mine you were told again and again and again to just accept the fact that, because the academic job market is so small, you really don't get much choice about where you're going to live and if you try to limit your job search by geography you're setting yourself up for failure. If you're one of those lucky few individuals who doesn't care about geography (what's your secret?) then this was never an issue for you to begin with, but for the rest of us, this is a great source of anxiety and despair.
Here's the thing though: yes, the academic job market is small and yes you are probably going to have to make some compromises on geography (just how many compromises is of course quite dependent on how many jobs there are in your field) but if, for example, you loathe the idea of settling down in one of the plains states you can probably leave them out without much worry. The thing is, most of the jobs are in places that are more desirable to live anyway. I didn't apply for a single job in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming or Idaho (or a few other places but we'll leave that aside for now) but during the course of my job search I saw maybe ten job listings in my field pop up in those eight states. To put that in perspective, I applied to that many jobs in New York City alone (not to mention several other jobs in NYC that I skipped over).
Personally, I limited myself geographically to what I call the "W": all the way down the west coast then across the southwest, with an upturn into Colorado before swinging back down into Texas and through the southeast and then up the east coast into New England. With a few exceptions, I decided I was perfectly willing to live anyplace along this route and the only major population centers it leaves out is the stretch from Ohio to Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota (and I'll admit that I took quite a risk not applying for any jobs in those states but despite my refusal to do so, I had still managed to apply for 70 jobs by mid-December).
I will certainly grant that if you really don't care where you live you will have a definite advantage on the job market and I will also certainly agree that if you try to limit your job search too much you're setting yourself up for failure. But if this has been a source of great stress to you, just know that it probably won't be quite so bad as you fear.
Also, don't forget to think globally. While not as abundant, there are absolutely international job opportunities that will pop up for Americans to apply for. They're much easier if you're single (being married and/or having children greatly complicates taking a job overseas) but if you have the freedom and ambition to do so, look abroad for more opportunities.
7.) Personality goes a long way
A lot of our job prep guidance focuses on qualifications, job materials and how to present them and without the ability to do so you're not going to make it past your living room. But I think one of the most overlooked portions of the job search process is presenting yourself as a person. You can have publications and teaching experience out the wazoo but if in an interview you're incapable of showing some basic grace and social etiquette you're unlikely to make it very far regardless of how good your other qualifications are. Yes, a department cares about your publications and your teaching and your service but at the end of the day they're also going to have to work with you on a day to day basis and some assurances that you're not a nutball will be greatly appreciated.
If, like many scholars, you're more socially awkward then be aware that this is a shortcoming you'll need to work to overcome. My dissertation director told me of a candidate who interviewed for a job in the department and spent the entire interview with his hands on his knees staring at the floor, never once making eye contact with anyone. They rejected him outright because of his odd behavior. Making eye contact, smiling, being polite, showing curiosity about the school, the region, the students, etc…all of these are factors that can tip the interview in your favor. Your qualifications got you to the interview in the first place, but your personality will do a lot to get you a job.
8.) You're going to have to make some tough decisions
Perhaps the reason advice is never given on this matter is probably because there's not much advice that can be given but be aware that there's going to have to be a lot of very difficult decisions to make as the process progresses and offers start coming in (or, worse, don't start coming in).
In a perfect world, all of the interviews would happen around the same time and all the job offers would come on the same day and you would get to leisurely pick which job you like the best with no concerns that maybe you could have gotten a better opportunity. We don't live in a perfect world though and it's entirely feasible that you'll find an offer coming from a less desirable school while you're still interviewing for your dream job and you'll have to decide whether to pass on the offer and risk getting shut out of the next one too or accept the less desirable offer and be left wondering whether or not you could have gotten a better job if you'd held out. A friend of mine found herself in that exact position but decided to take a gamble and won. She got a great job at a far better school than where the first offer came from, but I had many conversations with her as she was agonizing over the decision, realizing that her future hinged on what she decided to do.
There's no easy way to see through these decisions. They take a lot of soul-searching and sleepless nights to get through and ultimately no one can guide you through them but yourself.
9.) Don't Panic
The whole process is immensely stressful and, even if you're in a more lucrative field, will leave a constant shadow of doubt hanging over your head as to whether or not you'll even be employed in a year. One of my professors told me at the beginning of the year that I should be excited about the job search because a new world of opportunity was opening up for me and I wanted to smack him. All I could see was doubt and uncertainty. But now, at the other end of the process, I realize there was something exciting about it. If I hadn't gotten the job I'd gotten I probably would have gotten one somewhere else and if I had been shut out of academia entirely there were plenty of opportunities in the private sector I would have been perfectly happy to pursue (another pro-tip: no matter how lucrative your field and no matter how dead-set you are on a career in academia, research the private sector so you can be sure of having a viable plan B, C, D, E and F [which, yes, is how many plans I had]).
While it's definitely a case of easier said than done, perhaps the most useful piece of advice I can pass on is DON'T PANIC (which I have printed in large, reassuring letters for you there). At the very least, undue stress and anxiety does nothing to benefit your search and, at worst, can work to undermine you. This is a piece of advice that I was given but failed to follow but do try to see it as an exciting new opportunity because, when you get that offer, that's exactly what it's going to be.

The Montreal Canadiens continued their extremely busy day by re-signing Mike Weaver to a one year contract. They had already traded Josh Gorges to the Buffalo Sabres for a 2nd round pick, signed Manny Malhotra to a one year deal, and grabbed Tom Gilbert off the open market for a two year contract.
Weaver was acquired by the Montreal Canadiens at the trade deadline in March for a 5th round pick and vastly exceeded expectations. He became an enormous part of the Canadiens penalty kill, and proved to be a solid third pairing defenseman on the Canadiens run to the Eastern Conference Final.
The one year deal will pay Weaver 1.75 million dollars, a slight and well earned raise on his 1.1 million dollar salary from this past season. Weaver is a 36 year old veteran who will help ease the youth movement on the blue line as Nathan Beaulieu and Jarred Tinordi will see increased roles with the team next season.
With the departure of Gorges, Weaver will remain a huge part of the Canadiens penalty kill this coming season. He was partnered with Beaulieu late in the postseason, and allowed the smooth skating and puck rushing defender to join the rush often, as Weaver stayed back in his defensive role.
Weaver is a veteran of 602 NHL games and has scored 93 points. Offense is certainly not his forte, but the Habs retain a steady veteran defensive presence who can help the young blue liners learn the ropes of the NHL.
The Canadiens have now lost Gorges, but signed a solid second pairing defender right shot in Gilbert, a third pairing right handed guy in Weaver, and a fourth line center in Malhotra.
The Habs added three depth players who can help out the team next season and incredibly on July 1st, did not overspend for any of them.

In 2011 a group of PRI signatories developed The Principles for Responsible Investment in Farmland (known as the 'Farmland Principles'). Although aligned with the PRI agenda, the Principles were not part of the PRI. In September 2014 the Farmland Principles were incorporated within the PRI as Guidance for Responsible Investment in Farmland. The PRI together with the PRI Farmland Working Group will continue developing tools to support signatories implementing the PRI within their farmland investments. The details about the transition can be found here.

Two economists say increasing Iowa's fuel tax would help the state in the long run and be relatively painless to consumers.
Speaking Friday on the public television program, "Iowa Press," Iowa State University economist David Swenson argued a 10 cent per gallon increase in the tax would cost the average family about $32 a year.
He says that cost is worth it because of the overall benefit from road improvements financed by the tax increase.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss agrees, saying a poor road system would hurt the ability for Iowa's economy to expand.
Swenson also notes that about half of the fuel tax goes to support local government programs.
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad has said an increase in the gas tax is likely but not in 2012. He has asked the state transportation department to find $50-million in savings to avoid an increase. However, he says an increase is more likely when you consider a projected $200-million annual shortfall.
Some state lawmakers have called for a phased-in gas tax increase.

Cancer Health Center
Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Overall survival (OS) was not different at 24 months; longer follow-up will be required since only 47 patients had died at the time of analysis, and there was a crossover to the study drug on progression from placebo, making analysis of OS problematic. Vandetanib has significant side effects, including diarrhea, rash, hypertension, and QT prolongation. Quality of life was not formally assessed in this trial.[9]
Palliative chemotherapy has been reported to produce occasional responses in patients with metastatic disease.[10,11,12,13] No single drug regimen can be considered standard. Some patients with distant metastases will experience prolonged survival and can be managed expectantly until they become symptomatic.

Here's another reason to be thankful this holiday season — the cost of putting Thanksgiving dinner on the table is down slightly from last year.
But don't bank on those savings for any big Black Friday splurges. The average Turkey Day dinner will cost $49.04, or just 44 cents less this year than it did in 2012. And while every penny counts, if you need to do any traveling to belly up to the big meal, increases in airline and train tickets mean that 44 cents won't get you very far.
Butterball mystery: Turkeys wouldn't fatten up
Butterball apparently has big fat mystery on its hands: The company says it doesn't know why some of its turkeys wouldn't plump up in time for Thanksgiving this year.
CEO Rod Brenneman said it's the first time it happened and that the company is investigating what went wrong. Butterball had announced last week that it will have a limited supply of large, fresh turkeys that are 16 pounds or heavier for the holidays.
"It's a really good question. We don't have an answer yet," Brenneman said when asked about the cause. But he noted that turkeys are "biological creatures" subject to a variety of factors.
"For whatever reason, they just didn't gain quite as well this year," he said.
Like many other turkey producers, Butterball feeds its birds antibiotics to prevent and treat illnesses, which can occur from living in cramped quarters. The use of antibiotics, which also promote growth in livestock, has been the subject of concern that it could lead to antibiotic-resistant germs.
Butterball, a privately held company based in Garner, N.C., declined to say whether it made any changes to its feed formula this year. But the problem seems to have come up rather recently. — The Associated Press

The good news is that after some steep price hikes during the economic downturn about five years ago, food prices have remained mostly stable this year. It's a welcome change from 2011, when the cost of Thanksgiving dinner jumped $5.73, up from $43.47 in 2010, according to the annual informal survey of consumer grocery prices performed by the American Farm Bureau Federation.
The group estimates the cost by averaging non-sale food prices around the country based on feeding 10 people a meal of turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and coffee and milk. And yes, their estimates account for the need for those all-important leftovers.
The credit for this year's slight drop in price goes to stable commodity and fuel prices, both strong drivers of the prices consumers pay at the store, says Ricky Volpe, a research economist with the USDA's Economic Research Service. He says overall grocery prices are down about one-tenth of a percent since January.
One exception — poultry. Though the Farm Bureau didn't detect a price increase in turkey since last year (they actually found the price for a 16-pound bird down 47 cents), Volpe says consumers shouldn't be surprised if that component of the meal jumps as much as 5 percent over last year. Higher demand and feed prices are to blame.
However, you might save a bit of cash on gas when you head to the grocer to get your turkey. At the moment, drivers are paying about 25 cents less per gallon than they were a year ago, with a national average of $3.19, according to travel tracker AAA. And while the group hasn't issued a prediction for gas prices the week of Thanksgiving, they say that in recent years prices generally have dropped in the weeks leading up to the holiday.
Need another reason to drive? The average domestic airfare is up 9.5 percent from last Thanksgiving to $313, according to the Airlines Reporting Corp., which tracks tickets sold by online and by traditional travel agencies. Meanwhile, Amtrak prices in September (the most recent month for which data were available) were up more than 4 percent over a year ago.
Consumers won't be able to do much about the cost of travel, but there's always plenty of ways to spend less — and a lot more — on food.
The Farm Bureau estimate budgets $2.18 for a dozen brown-and-serve dinner rolls. But if you're willing break out a recipe and bake your own, a home cook could cut almost a dollar off that price.

They call Philadelphia the City of Brotherly Love and nowhere is that slogan more true than in South Philly where Kelly Robolo, the heroine of my new book, BLIND FAITH, grew up.
Kelly is a Philly girl through and through. First of all shes Italian, and if you know anything about South Philly Italians, you know that theyre painfully outspoken, quick to lend a hand, and a little crazy. When the book begins, we learn that Kellyan investigative reporter for the Philadelphia Globeis recuperating from a gunshot wound sustained four weeks earlier as she was uncovering a major racketeering scam. Now her best friends husband, an Atlantic City casino exec, is missing, and Kelly suspects foul play. She needs help. More specifically she needs Detective Nick McBride whose father had worked for the same casino and died last year under mysterious circumstances. Problem is, Kelly is not one of Nicks favorite people right now. He blames her for the death of his best friend, an undercover cop who had been about to crack that racketeering ring wide open the night Kelly was shot.
Knowing this, Kelly swallows her pride and asks for his help anyway.
What was she thinking?
If you want to know how that initial meeting turned out, Ive included a sneak preview.
Hope you enjoy BLIND FAITH. Be sure to visit my website: www.booktalk.com/CHeggan for a preview of the books first chapter and to check out my new gourmet recipe. For an autographed bookmark, send
me an SASE to PO Box 251, Medford, NY 08055.
Excerpt from BLIND FAITH
Hello, Nick.
Startled, Nick looked up then gave a short nod. Kelly.
The chilly greeting didnt seem to faze her, or if it did, she didnt show it. She came to stand in front of him, so close he could smell that perfume she wore all the time. Magie Noire. Black magic. Once he had wondered what it would feel like to fall under the spell of Kelly Robolo.
She looked at him without flinching. I need your help, Nick.
Then youve come to the wrong guy. He started to turn around, but she stopped him by touching his arm. Almost immediately she pulled her hand back.
Victorias husband is missing.
The sentence, spoken in one fast breath, took him aback. He waited a moment, absorbing the news. Although he had never met Jonathan Bowman, he knew he was a vice president at Chenonceau where Nicks late father had worked as chief of security.
Perhaps encouraged by his silence, she handed him a piece of paper. Here, she said. Detective Quinns phone number. Hell explain everything.
Nick shook his head. I cant help you.
She stiffened. Cant or wont?
He shrugged, aware that his questions had misled her into believing he would help. He hadnt meant to play games with her but he had been interested. Take your pick. Either way the answer is no. What else did she expect him to say? Because of her, his best friend was dead, leaving behind a grieving widow and two fatherless little girls.
She held his gaze for a moment, then, with the candor she was known for, she asked, Do you have any idea how difficult it was for me to come here today? How many times I talked myself out of it, only to change my mind again?
Honesty on her part demanded the same from him. I do know, Kelly. It doesnt change anything.
She stood there for several seconds, her expression unreadable. She was good at thatkeeping her emotions under control. Most Italians he knew blew their corks at the slightest provocation. Not Robolo.
After a while, she gave a short nod, as if she had finally accepted his decision, then, her back rigid as a board, she walked away.
