A must have
Reviewed: August 3, 2014 by Lax guy, a Straight Single Male
On first appearances you just know you're getting a quality toy. It is extremely well packaged, with a flip front so you can see the toy without opening the box, and it's surrounded by plenty of foam to protect it.
With a bit of lube this easily slips in (I am a beginner to prostate stimulation) and hits the prostate with ease, whether you use your hand to move it around (which can be difficult as I've found the finger loop to be a bit small), or as I like to do, sit down and rock your hips while masturbating.
I am yet to experience the "P-gasm" from this toy, or other prostate massagers, but it certainly increases the intensity of my orgasms.
Cleaning this toy couldn't be any easier, warm water, some toy cleaner and it's ready to go again.
- Pros
- Easy to use.
- Cons
- Finger loop is on the small side.
- Bottom line
- Quality toy that feels amazing.

This is one great sex toy, really hits the spot.
If you want your partner to have the best orgasm ever, this is a toy for both of you.
Well worth the money. 5 star toy.
May need to wear earplugs fir the screams. Needs a good lubing for that good old feeling.

My first ever plug, and I am delighted
Reviewed: April 7, 2014 by DavidB1986, a Gay Married Male
I now have quite a collection of toys used for anal play, but, for some reason, a butt plug was not something I had even thought about. I had a very cheap and basic rubber plug many many years ago, and I remember being less then thrilled with it, and it pretty much got thrown away within a week of getting it.
This, however - Icicles No 46 - is about to change my opinion on butt plugs, and may have me soon adding more to my wishlist to try out!
First things first, like all Icicles products, I cannot fault the packaging. It's simple, stylish, and the front flap opens up to show you the plug nestled in its soft foam bed. The first thing you will notice about this is its size. It looks really small, and compared to some of the dildos I have, I wasn't sure if this was going to do the trick.
It's about 4 inches long, and has a modest girth of 3.5" - making it perfect for beginners. This particular plug is curved with prostate stimulation in mind. The tip is tapered to allow for easy insertion, and narrows to really allow you to maintain 'grip' on the plug so it doesn't slip out! Instead of a flared base, it has a nice big finger loop, meaning you can slip this inside and not worry about losing it. However, the loop does restrict you from doing things you might normally be able to do with a flat bottomed, flared base plug.
However, for me, I only really use the plug during playtime anyway, so this wasn't so much of an issue. Unlike a dildo, the idea is that once this is inserted, you leave it, and as you move around, it moves with your body and exerts gentle (or hard, depends how you like it) pressure on the prostate. In this case, we lubed it up and inserted and lay there, gently thrusting my hips whilst receiving oral. As you move around and change positions, that round, tapered tip is always massaging and teasing the prostate, and before long I collapsed on my back and enjoyed a glorious hands free orgasm.
Those of you who are more advanced when it comes to anal play might find this perhaps just a bit too small (especially if you really like to feel full). However, for me, it was plenty to really give me some great sensations - and I reckon if you place a towel between the plug and a Magic Wand, you could achieve something wonderful! (Note to self: must try this out!)
But seriously, this is a gorgeous little plug, perfectly designed for prostate play, and any man who has not experienced the joys of a butt plug or prostate play, you cannot go wrong with this stylish, elegant and down right knee-trembling toy.
Clean-up is a breeze. You can even whack it in the dishwasher (although just make sure you've put it away before you have guests!), and as it's glass, it's totally safe to use with any kind of lubricant, and it's totally body safe - no potential nasty chemicals that you might find in some silicone/rubber plugs.
Warming up in some warm water, or chilling it down in the fridge/freezer also adds something interesting to the mix (especially if you like to play in the bath or shower). An absolute must have for any self-respecting person's toy box.
- Pros
- Another quality glass piece, really hits the spot, packaged beautifully as always.
- Cons
- Wish the girth was a little bit thicker, but still provides great feelings.
- Bottom line
- Perfect beginners plug, and worth adding to my collection of glass toys.

Will Kiwis ever get justice over spying saga?July 22 - 9am
New Zealanders who were illegally spied on by the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) will probably never get their justice, says the Green Party.
The Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) last week released its findings on whether the Police were negligent in their duty to not prosecute anyone in the GCSB over the spying saga.
The IPCA concluded the Police were not wrong.
"The IPCA did not look at the issue which formed the crux of the complaint, which is, did the Police rely on the wrong interpretation of the law when deciding not to prosecute?" questions Russel Norman, co-leader, Green Party.
"How can someone go to Court on the issue when a person doesn't even know if they have been spied on or not? The IPCA, in part of their report, concluded the matter was not for the Police but for the Courts.
"How can someone go to Court on the issue when a person doesn't even know if they have been spied on or not? The whole process is a catch-22.
"The report gives a green light for illegal spying because the system has set itself up to be impenetrable to inquiries for justice.
"Our Government and intelligence agencies are just dodging a bullet on what has been shown to be a major mess up."
According to Norman, there is "no justice" for at least 88 New Zealanders who were spied on.
"No one has been, and no one will be, held to account," he claims.
"The message that is being sent is: if a citizen acts illegally you get in trouble, but if the Government acts illegally, they get off scot free.
"The Green Party reiterates its call that there needs to be an open and independent inquiry into the matter and an overhaul of our intelligence agencies."

Let's start by preaching to the choir a little bit:
Dried beans/pulses are 20 to 25% protein by weight, which is double the protein content of wheat and three times that of rice.The digestibility of the protein in dried beans and pulses is quite high.Dried beans are a relatively inexpensive protein.Dried beans have been shown to reduce coronary heart disease.Dried beans have a very long shelf life.But none of that would make any difference to any of you if they weren't so tasty, right? Think for a moment about all the terrific foods we've grown accustomed to that are made from these guys: soups like minestrone or split pea, spreads like hummous, salads, chili con carne, refried beans, baked beans, and red beans and rice. Beans are also pretty interchangeable. For instance, you can make hummous out of almost any bean.
It's winter, though - and that's the time of year when the heartiness of bean dishes is really most welcome of all. PFI staff member Chris Greenlee has contributed a great, warming recipe this month for Cuban Black Bean soup.
Before I turn this article over to Chris, though, let me share some wisdom from the great food writer and educator Diana Kennedy:
"Don't throw out the soaking water with all the minerals and flavor. Instead, throw out the book that tells you to do so."
From Chris Greenlee:
When I was a kid and we used to visit Grandma in Florida. We'd take her out to the wonderful old Columbia Restaurant in Ibor City, the Cuban neighborhood in Tampa. Once, when my Mom raved about this soup the very dapper old waiter slipped her a copy of this recipe.
Cuban Black Bean Soupfrom the Columbia Restaurant in Tampa, Florida
1lb. black beans, dried2 quarts water2 med. onions finely chopped1 bay leaf2 green peppers, cut in strips1/2 cup olive oil1 tsp oregano4 cloves garlic, minced1/4 tsp cumin1 Tbs salt1/2 tsp black pepperwhite rice, cookedchopped onions for garnishlemon wedges
Soak beans overnight or boil for ten minutes and let sit until cool.Pour beans and water into a 4 quart pot, bring to boil. Cover and cook over medium heat.Meanwhile, saute onions and peppers in the olive oil until golden. Add oregano, bay leaf, cumin and garlic. Add this to the beans, along with salt and pepper and simmer until the beans are tender (about an hour).Serve on a bed of white rice, chopped raw onions and lemon wedges.
Over the years, we've increased the garlic, cumin and use lots of Spanish extra virgin olive oil.

TOPEKA -- The Great Overland Station is bringing The Hunt for the Golden Spike to Topeka, in which a photo is posted on their Facebook page that depicts where a golden spike is hidden, with clues to the location, and the discoverer will win four free tickets to the 5th Annual Topeka Railroad Festival, held August 18th.
Competitors will have several chances to win their tickets: more locations will be revealed on the Great Overland Station's Facebook page.
The first Golden Spike was discovered last Friday on the display tracks in the Rail Park in front of the Welda Depot, at The Great Overland Station.
The second Golden Spike was found in the NOTO Arts District Friday evening during the First Friday Artwalk.
The most recent Golden Spike was found near the pool in Gage Park.
The event is based on The Golden Spike (The Last Spike) the ceremonial final spike driven by Leland Stanford to join the rails of the First Transcontinental Railroad across the United States connecting the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads on May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory.

Kanye West Sex Tapes: TWO in Existence!by Free Britney at . Comments
Looks like the Kanye West sex tape rumor was bogus.
Apparently the rapper feels he's some sort of sex god, filming himself with girls more than once in recent years. Double the Kanye sex tape action is currently being shopped around.
The story broke last week - with screen cap! - of Kanye starring in a sex video with a young woman in a hotel room. It turns out there are actually two videos, albeit similar ones.
Similarly long ones. The man has some stamina apparently.
The first Kanye West sex tape (with a Kim Kardashian look-alike, amusingly) is around 20 minutes long. The second is around 40. Yes, four-zero, with constant fornication. No breaks in the action here people.
Both sex tapes were shot several years ago with exes and are currently being shopped to media outlets by a third party. As for how the heck they found their way out of his possession ... don't ask 'Ye.
West has no clue, according to sources cited by TMZ, how the tapes were lifted from his computer, but if anyone releases the footage, he plans to go after the culprit(s) with a legal vengeance.
Kanye's current girlfriend Kim Kardashian rose to fame after her sex tape was released, and Kanye reportedly used to play that tape in the background while he boned chicks.
True love.
Who really cares?
This is what happens when you're apparently rich, good-looking with way too much time on ones hands!
All vanity and no commonsense makes for a rather scandalous life. Wish the best to all involved. Hope this experience will be used as a teaching tool for yezzy to finally pull his head out of his ass and do the right thing for once which is to take responsibility for his tapes getting out into the world the way they did. And he should've done a thorough background check on his then lady friends who participated in the videos .Because I bet my left ass-cheek that one or both his lovers stole the tapes to set him up to get money out of him. Somehow! This smacks of setup.

Loris Capirossi, who usually races on two wheels in MotoGP, will give it a go on four wheels, though he'll be remaining loyal to the Suzuki brand in the process. The race will take place on November 8 in Aldershot, U.K. as part of the Suzuki Swift Sport Cup rally racing series that we told you about last April. The Italian motorcycle racer has driven in rally events in the past, but his low experience level against the talented crew of professional rally drivers will make the successful MotoGP racer a major underdog. As an added bonus, Capirossi will race against his motorcycling boss, Paul Denning, who is also racing as a guest at the Tempest Rally. That should be fun.
It isn't that uncommon for racers from one sport to take part in another. Recent examples such as Travis Pastrana and Michael Schumacher prove that success in one discipline can in fact equal a measure of success in another. For his part, Loris says he'll do his best to be competitive. We wish Capirossi the best, but we expect him to be back on his factory Suzuki GSV-R mount in short order.

This production is directed by Kenneth Waller, who has previously directed Lend Me A Tenor and Sylvia at Four County Players, as well as Iolanthe and The Pirates of Penzance for New Lyric Theatre. The experienced cast includes Kerry Moran as Peggy, Kenneth Waller as her husband Roger, Geri Carlson Sauls as Julia, and Bob Davis as Floyd.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Bishop has been an excellent experience for our two daughters, and they have attended this school for 4 years now.The teachers have been excellent, have never mistreated our girls, and have only found ways for them to excel to their fullest potential. My kids have never been picked on in this school and are having a much better experience than they were in their previous school district. The class sizes are small which allows for more one-on-one attention, and everyone in the school knows your name and which children belong to you. This makes us feel very secure and comfortable that the school is doing and will do everything possible to keep our children safe and protected. The opportunities they have for kids both during and after school have been amazing to keep them interested and attentive to school and are far beyond what other schools in this area offer. Thank you Bishop for all you have done for our daughters, we truly appreciate each and every one of you!
I love this school! When we thought EPS had failed my daughter Bishops caring teachers and staff saved her. She went from being academically behind to being on grade level and even excelling. My other daughter is also excelling and she has been here since kindergarten. I couldn't thank them enough!
Both of my kids attend this school. My son is autistic and has been in thier adapt program for 4 yrs now. The staff is great. Understanding and so supportive. They put up w/ all of my sons bizzare behaviors w/ great attitudes! I am so greatful for this school!
My 5 year old son loves his kindergarten class and his school! The teachers, the principal, and volunteers are all wonderful! I highly recommend this school for your children!
My daughter has attended Bishop for 3 years, and the staff and especially principal have been wonderful; they are always working to find ways to improve parent involvement, and they provide many opportunities for the kids whether it be extracurricular, special events, or tutoring. There is a great sense of community and respect for one another among students and staff, and an expectation of success for all students. Very satisfied.
My daughter attended kindergarten and first grade at bishop. The principal, teachers and other staff have always been wonderful. The school has offered a lot of help and encouragement to my daughter and I. Their parent nights are wonderful they really want to work with the families and students to improve the overall school experience.
My son has been attending Bishop Elementary for three years, and I have been exceptionally happy with everything from the curriculum to the staff to the extra activities offered after school.
Great school lots of fun. Except they should have a better program from children who are more advanced than others?

A Hundred Pixelated Camera Graphics, Free to Use
Self-described project-based artist Billy Brown is releasing a collection of 100 pixelated camera images for anyone to download and use.
The Camera Collection, as it's called, has everything from DSLRs to toy point-and-shoots; there's also a small collection of accessories—lens, flashes and film—to choose from.
Brown encourages people to use his images in "whatever way they see fit", so long as credit is given.

This is my absolute favorite scent. I have to fight my sister to keep her away from my bottle, since she's decided it's her favorite too. I get lots of compliments when I wear this. In my opinion, it is much nicer than Coco and Allure (which smells like hairspray to me). It's a more "youthful" Chanel fragrance than the others.
This gave me a headache and I could not wash it off! It smelled like a cross between bug spray & cough syrup on me (that nasty old yellow Triaminic from he 70's if anyone remembers it!)My son wouldn't come near me. I guess the only thing that would come near me with this on is a sick roach on a suicide mission! Wheeezzzz!
This fragrance was not for me at all. It was so overpowering that it gave me a huge headache and I couldn't stop coughing! I guess I'm just not a Coco kind of girl. I never really liked any of Chanel's fragrances except for the Allure.
I thought this smelled really pretty in the store, but then I developed a pounding headache and the smell just made my nose burn every time I smelled my wrists. Really terrible reaction to this. I bought a bottle, but must take it back to Sephora...this does not agree with me at all. I must go back to Allure!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am astounded at how much I love this fragrance! I absolutely cannot wear Coco and Allure is nice but it tends to give me a headache. I received more compliments on this scent than I ever have with Rush coming in second. This is the perfect Fall/Winter fragrance!
Cough! Gag! I could not stand this stuff. When I smelled it in the bottle at a Sephora I initially liked it, but recently I sprayed some on my wrist in the store and nearly choked. When I got into my car with the windows rolled up to drive home (it was raining), I got a massive headache from it. I guess I'm not cut out for heavy scents, even if this is supposed to be a lighter version I still think it's fairly heavy.
Was desperate to try this after reading reviews online, and was very dissapointed. Its got that heavy coco bottom note, that turns into b.o. on me. Its not light, as I had expected. Boytoy took one sniff and ran away.
HOWEVER, if you like the original coco, but yen for something lighter, this is your perfume.
Beautiful scent, bergamot, jasmine and vanilla. The top note, bergamot, smells fantastic when you first spray it on, then it dries down to a beautiful warm vanilla floral. Considering that I'm not a jasmine or vanilla fan, I'm surprised how much I love this!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Beautiful fragrance. A bit sweet, a bit fruity and definitely a floral. Have gotten many compliments on it. Feminine but not cloying. Excellent fixative.

AMD thanks Ruiz for courageous ability to lose money
Ruiz - "down" ?
When was that" ?
At the end of every bussines year he was handed several tens of megabucks just as a thank-you for all those failures and he is in for something like that even when they kick him out !!!
Hell, they probably kept him on the board just to avoid the pain of paying him to go !
AMD's marketing chief bails ahead of Barcelona
What's there to talk about ?
They parted ways for their own reasons which need not be obvous.
It could be that AMD doesn't need the guys expensive services now that all is left to do is to show the damn chip...
Intel guns one four-core Xeon, cools another
You forgot to mention...
that Intel's 50W TDP is typical power ( not maximal) and that you have to add to that also power consumption of the NB chip, whereas Optys 68W is maximal TDP for CPU and memory controller.
Also, Xeon is using those slow, power hungry and above all expensive fb-dimms...
Intel has four-core Opteron stuffer set for August
read the fine print...
Intel have yet to release _true_ QC and not just two dualcores on the same substrate.
Also, such shallow power consumtption is unfair, since:
- AMD states maximal while Intel states typical TDP
- AMD's numbers include power consumption of the MMU controllers while Intel's do not. On intel's side you would have to add most of the consumption of the northbridge and then multiply add few ten percents or more to get maximal TDP.
Whole total could very well be over AMD's stated TDP.
AMD to crush AMD with 2.0GHz 'Barcelona'
One correction...
Intel never had a true QC chip. Q6600 etc are all two dualcores on the same FSB. AFAIK they plan to have true QC after Penryn- ie in second 45nm generation...
Everytyhing else aside, Barcelona QC should see some performance benefit just due to being true QC...

Classic review: House
The drama of house-building.
Of all the material possessions we accumulate in a lifetime, none is more expensive, more important, or as active in the working of our memory as a house. Houses are castles or homes (or both), and they have generated homilies the way gardens generate weeds.
But before a house can become a home, it must, obviously, be built, and how a house is actually built – from conception to design to foundation to frame to finished dwelling – is the story of Tracy Kidder's exceedingly well-constructed new work of nonfiction, House.
Kidder assembles a cast of characters in the building of a house in central Massachusetts, near Amherst. In exploring their characters what emerges is not a matter-of-fact picture of so many blueprints, hammers, and nails, but a richly complex drama of human interaction with enough emotional energy to satisfy any playwright.
The owners of the house are Jonathan and Judith Souweine; he is a country lawyer (out of Harvard Law School) and she is a neuropsychologist. They have three children and are engaged both by them and by community politics.
The house they are planning to build, as "House'' opens, is designed by their friend, Bill Rawn, a Renaissance man if ever there was one, who has been, at various times in his life, a successful corporate lawyer, a printmaker represented by the Pace Gallery, but who has forsaken all that at age 40 for a career as an architect. It is his first house.

Holding the office of Faculty Senate Vice President is a responsibility to pursue with faculty, students and administrators, thinking freshly about structures of input and re-imagining purposeful engagement, within the university and out into the state. Our work with students and the State of Iowa obliges us, in a time of diminishing state resources, to be consistent with respect to our reason for existence: we provide a vital research environment, which nurtures independence of thought and produces quality education and scholarship.
Holding a joint appointment in the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has always meant being situated within the translation of academic cultures. I am fond of telling my students that being an artist makes me a better teacher and being a teacher makes me a better artist. Similarly, I recognize that I have been able to be effective as a faculty member by exercising knowledge gained from both university and college-wide service. This is a sensibility I have learned from working in shared governance with many of my faculty colleagues. It is also an institutional value that requires determined nurturing. I fully appreciate that entrepreneurial pressure for the university is a reality not to be feared, but an invitation that inevitably requires of faculty the dual dispositions of creativity and properly focused attention paid to our core activities of research and teaching. If elected, I will work with faculty and administrators to focus on institutional structures of response in an historical moment of budgetary challenges, as this moment provides the opportunity to articulate a purposeful disposition and exercise creative collective intelligence.
Position: Associate Professor, School of Art and Art History/Teaching and Learning, Program Coordinator, Art Education and Studio Division Coordinator, SAAH.
Education: B.S., Northwest Missouri State University (Art) 1981; M.A., University of Iowa (Sculpture) 1983; PhD., University of Iowa (Art Education) 1990.
Teaching: The courses I teach originate in three academic units: Literature, Science and the Arts (zero-time appointment), the School of Art and Art History, and the Department of Teaching and Learning. In 1997, I was recipient of the Collegiate Teaching Award.
Scholarship: My recent work includes the composition of two DVD story performance projects. On the American Discovery Trail: Iowa Route (2004) was commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts. I am currently editing ByCycle, Eminent Icelandic Saga and Tremendous Earth. My written publications focus on the correspondence between storytelling and visual art. I have presented storytelling performances in museums and at universities across North America.
Service: Studio Division Coordinator of the School of Art & Art History (1996-Present); Faculty Advisory Committee, College of Education (1996-99); Graduate Council (1996‑99 and 2002-05); Search Committee, Dean, College of Education (1998); Art Building Planning Committee (1999-Present); Search Committee, Associate Provost, Dean, Graduate College (2001); Council on Teaching (2001-04); Provost Search Committee (2003/04); Academic Technology Advisory Council (2003-06); University of Iowa Faculty Senate and Faculty Council (2004-07); President, Seminar for Research in Art Education, research arm of the National Art Education Association (2005-07).

Team Info for MuckFest MS
Hands down, the best way to experience the laugh riot of MuckFest® MS is with your very own team. When you are on a team you can
- share the experience and have witnesses to prove you did it
- support a team member, family member or friend with MS
- celebrate your mucky exploits with your peeps
Need more reasons? Okay.
#1 It's funner on a team. Yeah, we know it's "more fun." One of the "funnest" things to do is name your team—it can be something delightfully dirty or curiously clever or satisfyingly straightforward. Name it after your business or your aunt with the iridescent hair. It's up to you. (Seriously, you'd be surprised how many ways you can use the words "mud," "muck" and "mucker" in your team names. Oh, behave!)
#2 Unlike the tango or gin rummy, it only takes one person to start a MuckFest MS team. Whether it's you, a friend, family member or even that mud-curious guy in the next cubicle, you only need one person to step up and start your MuckFest MS team. As we say, if you start it, they will come.
#3 Teams help. We can all use a little help, and MuckFest MS Teammates help each other with fundraising before the event and on the course in the muddy pits and on the muck-tacular obstacles.
#4 Oh, the rewards. As if being on a team isn't reward enough, we have mucktacular team rewards and on-event surprises and fun competitions for teams. If you're not on a team, you're out of muck.
#5 Dressing up. We're not fashionistas, we're muck-a-nistas. MuckFest MS teams have the best and wackiest outfits, whether it's something above or below the waist or on your face. Sorry Tim Gunn, but we really know how to "make it work."
Find a MuckFest MS team to join in your area!
More info and stuff for teams
From recruitment and fashion tips, to fundraising and preparing your team for the day of MuckFest MS, this handy Team Captain Guide has it all. Okay, maybe not "all," but it's got a lot. We also have Team Fundraising Jumpstarters and pre-written Team Captain messages to use for fundraising and team-building.

Exam 4 Information
What is Exam4?
Exam4 is a word processing program, just like Microsoft Word, that you will use to write your in-class and take-home exams. You will have to download the software each semester ( Fall, Winter and Spring) in order for it to work. For in-class exams, you will still receive a hard copy of the exam questions to use – only your answer gets typed into Exam4.
For take-home exams, you will download the exam question from the Exam4 site. You will then write your answer on your computer and electronically submit your answer via Exam4 at the end of the allotted time.
You are responsible for knowing how Exam4 works for both in-class and take-home exams. The Law Center IT Department is available to deal with unforeseen technical difficulties concerning exam file submission to the Law Center servers. It is best to make an appointment.
The primary responsibility, however, for installing, using, and understanding Exam4 belongs to the student.
How Do I Obtain Exam4?
Go to the Exam4 site to purchase and download a copy of the Exam4 software. Click on the Law Schools menu option, and then follow the instructions.
The Exam4 site also has online documentation FAQs and support
Is there spell check?
Yes. Exam4 spell check is located in the Tools menu. You may use it at any time, although it will not check the spelling as you type.
Does the software do anything strange that I'm not used to when writing?
If you highlight and delete more than 100 characters of text, a warning box pops up and asks if you are sure you want to do that. Its just a double- check for you, but may be disconcerting to have it pop up. Just check the box, and keep writing! The Exam4 window is not a full-screen window. You are not able to change the size of the window while typing your exam.
Can I use footnotes?
No. Exam4 does not allow footnotes.
Do I have to use Exam4 if I'm going to write my exam on my laptop?
Yes. All students must use the Exam4 software.
I'm not great with computers – is this going to be difficult to figure out?
The Law Center chose Exam4 in part because of its extremely easy interface and directions.
We strongly recommend that you take as many practice tests as you can in order to become familiar with it before you take an actual exam.
What if I still have problems or questions with the download or installation?
For any and all technical questions, please go to www.exam4.com > FAQ + Support > Contact User / Tech Support. They are your primary contact for all technical issues with Exam4.
Can I Use a Chromebook Computer With Exam4?
No. Exam4 currently does not support Chromebook computers, or computers running the Linux operating system.

I'm saying I care
But it's like you don't hear me
What more could I do
Girl, u can keep that
Try to make me jealous
I admit that I've been careless
But we can't take back what's done
I know why you did that
You're frustrated coz I don't react
Baby, you want some feedback
Coz normally my feelings don't show
But baby, I care for you
By now you should know that I care for you
You say my actions never show it
But I wear my heart on my sleeve
But what you get's what you see
The truth is, girl, underneath

Two men are behind bars for allegedly raping a woman who blacked out at a nightclub on June 5.
On June 6, Lafayette police officers were called to Regional Medical Center in response to a reported sexual assault, according to police reports.
The victim told police that she went to a nightclub with friends the day before and consumed a few alcoholic beverages.
She reportedly blacked out shortly after having a few drinks and later woke up in her bed to someone having sex with her.
According to the victim, she awoke again the next morning with a different man having sex with her. She said she tried to push the second man off of her but then passed out again.
Hospital officials told police there were signs of forced sexual trauma.
Deion Hill, 21, and Lajuan Linton, 25, were named as suspects by other people who live in the victim's apartment complex.
The victim identified both suspects through a photo lineup.
Hill and Linton were booked into the Lafayette Parish Jail for aggravated rape. They are being held on $250,000 bonds.

Suez Canal security strengthened after failed attack
The Head of the Suez Canal Authority, Admiral Mohab Memish,
said the attack apparently aimed to disrupt the flow of ships through the Canal, which – as one of the world's key shipping routes - is secured by the country's armed forces.
According to the report, a 'terrorist element' targeted a Panama-flagged vessel passing through the waterway. The attempted attack failed completely and there was no damage to the ship or the containers it carried.
Admiral Mohab Memish added that the situation was dealt with strictly and vessel traffic is moving normally.
In other news, Egyptian Authorities have amended and reduced the hours of the curfew in force with effect from last night (31 August). The curfew is now in force from 2300 to 0600 hours daily, instead of the previous 1900 to 0600 hours.
Traffic through the Suez Canal is unaffected by the curfew as the Canal Zone is secured by the military, including land, sea and air patrols.

I think I like buying steak from supermarkets more than a butcher.
- Soop Sep 1, 2010 07:32 AM
I've had some really good steaks from butchers (dry aged sirloin) but I recently had some not-as-nice dry aged sirloin from a deli counter.
So maybe it's engrained, but I like the taste of supermarket steaks a lot.
But here's what else I like: when you buy a steak, you can see exactly what the marbling is like on each piece. Usually (girlfirend included) people assume a "good steak" is lean red meat with white fat on the outside.
You won't often see dark red meat in supermarkets as it's packed airtight, but you do see people leaving the meat with the best marbling, sometimes to the point where is has to be reduced (and I snap it up). People must either assume it's gristly (although you can tell the difference between fat and gristle), or scraggy, or bad for you, but they're easily the best tasting.
Anyone else find this?
If you're asking can you find better meat at the supermarket than the butcher - then yes you can. And then it's time to change your butcher if you can.
I actually buy most of my meat direct from the farmer, over the internet, supplemented by purchases at farmers markets. From time to time, I'd still need to buy the odd piece of meat. Until recently, the butcher in the village was very poor quality. I wouldnt buy from him and definitely preferred the supermarket. It's now under different ownership and quality is better - I'd say it's now about on a par with the supermarket's non-premium meat (but not as good as the premium stuff - for instance, no free-range or organic meat )
I think there are advantages in both. I think you get to buy fresher meat from a butcher because of the faster turn around. However, I feel you get really "shop" for longer duration in a supermarket in the refrigator isle. You can pick up 5-15 pieces of steak and inspect them closely for as long as you are please. You cannot do that when buying from a butcher. You can grab one piece of meat inspect it for 30 second and then grab another one and then another one ....
re: Chemicalkinetics
I purposely pick out beef that is less "fresh" - whenever I see a "manager's special" on a steak that's nearing expiration, i'll pick it up and let it sit for a few more days...why pay for aging when they'll give you a discount on already-aged cuts?
re: joonjoon
Joon....I agree...A friend saw me pick up a not so bright red steak and said"Hey that one is old......Yup!!!!"
re: joonjoon
Isn't aging more complicated than leaving it out? I thought it was hung in a particularly conditioned room or something.
re: Soop
Actually, in the "old days" meat, (game) was left outside hanging from a tree to dry it out and get the enzymes to breakdown the tissue. Now everything gets a little more hype than it needs.If I buy a really good prime well marbled steak I unwrap it and leave it in the cooler uncovered for a day or two.
re: joonjoon
That is a good point. Do you mind sharing how you usually deal with the funk and slime that is sometimes found on the surface? When this happens, I just rinse with hot water, pat dry and make sure to sear well, and I wonder what others do.
re: tarteaucitron
When I see that irredescent tint, and the slimy texture, I bin it. Especially bacon.
re: joonjoon
That's not aging. Aging isn't done on individual steaks. Your meat is turning funky, and not in a good way. Unless you like that funk. But it's not aging.
Is there any reason you cannot see the quality of the steak through the display case or ask the butcher to give you exactly what you're looking for? I've had good meat from supermarkets; I've had bad meat from butchers and vice versa. Neither definitively comes out on top, but as a consumer you've the ability to choose the vendor that best meets your expectations and needs.
re: JungMann
I think it's the fact that ... if you asked the butcher to cut a joint up into seperate steaks so you could choose the one you want. And that would be the equivilent.
I'm not sure what I would do if I asked for x amount of steak, and then said "Hmm. Don't like this one, let's see the next one". I'd probably just suffer with the one I had.
And while you're right, you can see the surface of the outside, but if that's no good, then there's no other choice.
Gotta say I agree...as long as you are looking at the same grade and not an aged piece vs non-aged. It is much easier to pick out your cut as opposed to the butchers I have gone to where I have ordered a cut a certain thickness, ect and it is cut right off the bone and not leaving me much (any) choice. The only thing I do not love about buying meat from the supermarket is most usually lack any grass fed beef/lamb. Whole foods has some, but not in anything other than off cuts and ground meat, and I have no idea what % of its life it was grass fed. I got some grass fed lamb at Sang Lee farms all the way out east on Long Island, and though it was frozen, it was amazing. I find the difference of grass fed and corn is pretty remarkable and as a bonus, it is much better for the environment.
I like getting my steaks from the butcher, because I tell him how thick I want them and get them that way. I like 1.5 inch steaks, which is a bit thicker than I generally see at the supermarket but not so thick that you run the risk of overcooking the outside and undercooking the inside.
I don't know if we are talking about the same thing but sometimes I also wonder if I can get the better of both worlds:
I often ask for grass-fed or farm-raised when at the butcher's, and typically the meat has more flavour but is either too lean for my taste (even for rib eyes), or the marbelling is there yet nowhere as beautiful as those at the supermarket counters. From my limited experience, the explanation is that, the corn in the diet helps a lot with the marbelling, to a point that some farms that raise the cows on grass would finish them with corn to fatten them up.
On the other hand, the "premium" steaks at the supermarket is always beautifully and copiously marbelled, and bright red (although sometimes more brown on the *inside* presumably because of the superior packaging technology). The fat is much less tasty than that of the the farm-raised variety, but a lot more fat does make it taste good too.
re: Soop
Soop, I know you are in UK - there are a number of steaks we like to grill outdoors, not sure if they correspond to same name in your neck of the woods. Skirt, flank, chuck eye, strip, porterhouse, Tbone are all very good on the grill. Since some come from the chuck, some from the loin different methods of adjustment are necessary. Skirt, flank & chuck eye need marinating. Rib, Tbone, porterhouse & strip profit from a good dry rub with salt&p, garlic and paprika. As we like steak med rare, we generally ask for it to be 1.5 in or thicker, for those steaks from the loin/rib. We use direct heat to brown exterior and finish cooking using indirect heat.
As to your question of butcher vs. supermarket, I think it varies on the relationship you have with each. I cultivate a butcher and a specific meat cutter at the supermarket. They have known me for a number of years and are familiar with what I look for in good quality meat (they have taught me). I rely on each for special sales and take advantage of that, I have freezer space and only buy good quality meat when it's on sale.
re: Soop
I don't really BBQ, Soop (up here in the north west, there's never suitable weather for outdoors) - but I have the view that ribeye is always the preferred steak however you intend to cook it. Because of the need for the fat marbling to break down, I find it needs cooking a tad longer than some other cuts. However, when I want rare, I'd go for rump - by far the tastiest cut generally available.
I guess it depends on where you live, too. I live in "small town/suburban" NC. Our "butcher" before it closed was basically a grocery store with only meat. You could order stuff, but it came from Sysco. I think they did buy primal cuts and butcher them, but the quality was not significantly better. And the turnover was lower than the grocery store due to price and location. I don't mind supermarket meat. My only quibble is that there isn't a single store in my town where I can reliably buy skirt steak or flank steak, both of which I used to use for all kinds of things.
re: evewitch
You might have some luck with flank and skirt steak at a Latin market. Any in your area?
I would love to have the kind of food budget where I can buy directly from farmers, over the internet, or farmer's market. My experience is that I pay a premium for those cuts of meat (quality also tends to be pretty good). Same goes for whole foods, wegmen's, butcher, and speciality food stores.
I've given up on the local groceries as I've been dissappointed from the meat I've gotten. The steaks taste a bit more liver/iron like.
I've had good luck with two sources. First is an ethic butcher, Latin or korean butcher in my case. Both have great cut of meat (and other stuff parts and cuts that are tougher to find) and more reasonable prices the other places. Plus, I'm helping mom and pop places (always a plus).
I've also had good luck with Costco Steaks. I've been getting their choice porterhouse and the family loves them. Decent marbling and am able to get thme around 6 to $7 per lb.
We are fortunate where we live to have an excellent certified organic farmer/butcher who grows his own livestock and is able to trace each animal back to its birth. I find that our butchers have a far better choice of prized cuts such as sweetbreads, flank steak, hanger steak, lamb shanks and so on that our grocery stores carry, not to mention the vastly superior flavour. Plus our grocery stores' animals are factory raised in squallid conditions. Sure, the premium meat is more expensive but you can choose to eat less of it. Knowing where that animal comes from is worth it to me. Easy decision.
My butcher is part of a family of butchers stretching back to 1822. During all those years they have raised their own livestock, with the seed stock dating back to a shipment from Wales in 1821. They can trace the lineage of their cattle for over 30 generations of cattle.
The grass on which the livestock is fed cannot be bought for any price anymore, it is an ancient form of grass that no longer exists in the modern world, except on the land owned by my butcher's family. It is extinct in the rest of the world, and it cannot be purchased at any price. Every single grass seed is carefully tended and guarded, with micro serial numbers gently stamped upon them through a patented process. If a single seed goes missing, they will know.
The cattle themselves are implanted with chips from the moment of birth, and raised by carefully trained cattle-herds who apprenticed by living among wild musk oxen for a minimum of three years, eating only what the oxen ate, bathing only when the oxen bathed. In time the smell of oxen is imprinted on the apprentice cattle-herds, earning them the utmost trust of the cattle, thus reducing stress hormones in their charges.
These are cattle who live their entire lives without ever having known fear.
re: redfish62
micro serial numbers on each seed is my favorite line!
re: magiesmom
And "gently stamped" on!
What's a butcher?
re: redfish62
That's ridiculous -- everyone knows that fear is the tastiest part of a steak.
re: neel2004
mmm, fear....
