What I Support
I oppose abortion. I favor all measures to prohibit the destruction of babies, except when the mother's life is in immediate danger.
They have made this country the richest nation on earth with the highest standard of living for Americans. I support a lean efficient government that resists over regulation and interference with commerce. I support policies that help small businesses succeed and create jobs.
I am a strong supporter of the second amendment. I will be a vote for the rights of gun owners and I oppose federal interference.
I voted in favor of legislation to provide insurance for many children with autism.
I support the policies of low taxes and limited government that is improving the Kansas economy and adding new jobs. I support elimination of the income tax in Kansas.
I supported the addition of $129 million in state aid to public schools and increased local control, a policy sought by Johnson County schools for many years and won this year under conservative leadership. We have increased school spending every year I've been in the Legislature. This year school districts have added more than 600 teachers.
I am against extending Medicaid through the Obamacare law because of the enormous cost to the state in future years and the burden it will place on Kansas taxpayers. I supported the Health Care Compact which if passed by the US Senate next year, will allow Kansas and other states to remove Obamacare at their discretion.
The Legislature abolished the statute of limitations on the prosecution of rape cases.

Five Reasons To Go Long Stocks, Now
US stocks continued to act weak during the month of June with market participants focusing on potential U.S. Federal Reserve Policy changes in the future. "Bond purchase tapering" was the driving theme in the last weeks.
I'm still seeing positive signs in the market that support higher equity prices and therefore trading US stocks mainly from the long side. Let's discuss the relevant factors:
1) The trend is up. One of the premises of technical analysis is that price sometimes moves in trends. Unless the trend is broken, one expects higher prices ahead. The market is "innocent until proven guilty."
Technically, stocks are still in an uptrend, which began in Summer 2011. A close below 1530 for the S&P 500 would end this intermediate term trend. However, this would still be a five percent decline from current levels.
2) Smallcaps have been outperforming. In a risk-off environment, speculative small cap stocks should underperform. Currently, they don't: the Russell 2000 Small Cap Index is trading just one percent below all time high and has been outperforming the S&P 500 Index since May.
3) High-beta stocks acting relatively strong. Similar to small caps, high-beta stocks tend to lead down during risk-off periods. The PowerShares S&P 500 High Beta Portfolio ETF (SPHB) has been holding up quite well, performing in-line with the general index.
4) Sentiment is now neutral. Several measures of investors' emotions are now in the neutral zone. So at least from the sentiment perspective, stocks have more upside (unfortunately also downside) potential.
One example is the AAII weekly sentiment survey. Recent results came in at 41%, which is a fairly neutral number.
5) The Fed Continues to Support Markets: There is no tapering yet. The Fed continues to support markets by buying $85 Billion in bonds each month. Research has shown that POMO ("permanent open market operations") has been supportive to equity prices.
So while there are bullish arguments, we have also seen differentiation among the various sectors. Investors have been moving out of interest rates-sensitive stocks. On the other side, consumer discretionary stocks have been in a solid uptrend.
The Select Sector SPDR-Consumer Discretionary (XLY), the ETF that covers the sector, is trading at an all time high, similar to small caps. The US consumer has been leading the American stock market (and economy) higher.
Therefore, my trading activities have recently been focusing on stocks of this area: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) are some of my long positions as of July.

Sadly though I seem to have more "blonde moments" than ever before – I wonder if the lack of pigment in my tresses has had a negative impact on my brain powers? ;) I surely hope not, because I'm moving back to London this Wednesday, which means books, essays and academia! I'm not feeling much joy at the thought of essay deadlines, but I'm pretty excited to go back to university and see all my friends again :)

By Kyle Munzenrieder
"Let us realize that history has thrust upon us an indescribably important destiny — to complete a process of democratization which our nation has developed too slowly, but which is our most powerful weapon for world respect."
This might have come from Barack Obama's Tuesday inaugural address. It didn't. America's second-most important black leader, Martin Luther King Jr., spoke these words in Miami Beach almost exactly a half-century ago.
That speech, one of two King doozies Riptide dug up from the Miami area in the late 1950s, is a monster. He spoke to the American Jewish Congress at the Carillon Hotel, which had long prohibited blacks from sleeping in its elegant rooms. Indeed, laws forbade blacks from even being in Miami Beach after 9 p.m.
Back then, Miami was a mecca for Jews in the South, which is why King decided to address the American Jewish Congress here May 14, 1958. The AJC and the ACLU had both recently opened their first offices in the South here, to some degree in an attempt to end segregation. The city was also dealing with a two-year-long recession, just as it is today.
King's speech compares the Jews' struggle against Hitler to blacks' efforts to end segregation. It sounds prophetic. "There are Hitlers loose in America today [who]...as economic problems become more severe...will seek to divert people's minds and turn their frustrations and anger to the helpless, to the outnumbered. Then whether the Negro and Jew shall live in peace will depend upon how firmly they resist."
The Obama administration has lots of challenges. Race is only one. But the top guns would do well to listen to King's description of the Jewish/black partnership: "Our unity is born of our common struggle for centuries, not only to rid ourselves of bondage, but to make oppression of any people by others an impossibility."

Vandals, Arsonists Threaten Ohio's Covered Bridges
COLUMBUS (AP) -- Ohio's number of historic covered bridges has dwindled from thousands to about 145, and preservationists say vandals and arsonists are chipping away at those still standing.
The Ohio Historic Bridge Association says Ohio is second only to Pennsylvania in its number of original covered bridges. The remaining wooden spans sometimes are marred by graffiti, fire and other damage.
Association president David Simmons tells The Columbus Dispatch it's often tough to catch the vandals. Many of the bridges are in rural or isolated areas and don't carry traffic, and Simmons says that can attract firebugs.
An 1874 bridge with a rare, rounded shape was destroyed by fire in June in southeast Ohio's Vinton County.
An earlier arson at a bridge in Lancaster caused an estimated $20,000 in damage.
PHOTOS: The covered bridge in Glen Helen Nature Preserve, shown from Grinnell Road in the left photo, has been covered in spray-painted vandalism over the years, as shown on the right.

When I was in college in the 1970s, the prevalence of Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) was approximately 5-10 percent. Today, some states are reporting rates as high as 23 percent. What accounts for this huge increase in attention disorders? A true increase in the prevalence of the neurological disorder? Unlikely.
Much more likely is an increase in the rate of diagnosis. When I was working in the Child Guidance Center in 2004, every kindergarten teacher had from 2 to 5 boys in her class with A.D.H.D. And some teachers had even more. These excessively wiggly boys that the teacher could not control were referred to our clinic. Once in our clinic, they easily met the DSM criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (A.D.H.D.) such as: squirms in seat, talking excessively, on-the-go, blurting out answers, difficulty awaiting turn, and interrupting. After a diagnosis of A.D.H.D., the next step was medication. This was almost automatic without a second exam by the pediatrician. Nearly every 5 year old boy referred to our clinic met the criteria for A.D.H.D and the prescriptions were liberally administered.

News from the October 2010 Breakfast Meeting
18 Oct 2010
Our October breakfast meeting broke its own previous record with 34 people sitting down to another of volunteer Alison Fisher's excellent breakfasts.
A wide variety of businesses was represented covering everything from spiritual clearing to IT support, printing, business consultancy and cleaning services and included one presentation in verse from Nigel George, following last month's presentation in song by Allan Scott.
Former chamber membership co-ordinator Dick Calvesbert, who retired earlier in the year, maintained his reputation as "the proverbial bad penny and teller of the worst jokes" attending in his new incarnation representing CPW Computing.
Bob Boxhall-Hunt, who is treasurer of the Rugby Club, highlighted the availability of advertising opportunities on the perimeter fence at £300 a year and also the opportunity to use the club as a venue for meetings.
Town Centre Manager Mark Strachan provided an update on the development of a Town Centre Partnership and announced a pre-Christmas event in the town being planned for December 3.
Donna Talbot on ITFC
This month's presentation was given by Donna Talbot of Ipswich Town Football Club.
The club has had an average turnover of £15.8 million for the last five years and is also a venue for networking, meetings, events, offers businesses corporate hospitality packages and even funeral wakes.
Her presentation included some staggering statistics, including 60,000 calls per year to the ticket office, membership including long distance members in Norway and Cyprus and a 94 year-old season ticket holder.
She highlighted the club's community involvement through the ITFC charitable trust, which has a focus on young people and delivers activities for more than 60,000 children in Suffolk.
There is much more information about all ITFC's events and facilities on its website:
Chairman's Monthly Update and "Bees"
Peter Down highlighted the challenging times we are living in with the planned merger of Babergh and Mid Suffolk District councils now moving forward and the dissolution of EEDA (East of England Development Agency), reminding members that the Chamber is supporting the One East Anglia proposal for regional development.
He reported that the Stowmarket Chamber is proposing to hold an AGM from January next year and that there would be more use of e-services, reminding members that news is regularly updated on the website as well as in a quarterly e-newsletter.
Peter's Bees
Three Bees this month, all of them offering financial support for local initiatives.
The Stowmarket Chamber will be supporting the Town Council with sponsorship worth £350-£400 towards a new picnic table to be installed at the town's recreation ground.
It has also drafted a leaflet for retailers in the town to give to customers reinforcing the message that their custom has helped keep money in circulation within the local economy. The leaflet will be professionally printed and the local Chamber is proposing to donate £100 towards production costs.
Finally, he offered an idea for a Christmas Gift for a good cause. A "celebrity" Cook Book c alled Pie in the Sky has been produced with contributions from various East-Anglian based celebrities as a Christmas stocking filler by and for, East Anglian Air Ambulance. Retail price £9.99 orders can be placed via Peter. email@example.com
The next breakfast meeting will be on Friday, November 19, at the Rugby Club as usual. Further information about the Christmas lunch will be announced soon.

I liked it...
except that Meat Boy slides on EVERYTHING.
Seriously, I could hardly get him to stop from landing on saws. I played only a little because of pure frustration, but I can see it's a good game. I'm only giving it a 7 out of the sheer difficulty of trying to get him to land anywhere NEAR where I want him.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Some levels are a pain in the rear end!
I found this game addictive, & I've been playing this game for about 2 hrs +. But, as I said before, those levels are unenviable. Luckily there are illimitable lives, so that's fair enough. It's still agonizing just to be so close to succeeding, and one little touch of saws, fire or salt... dead.
Nice Job, almost good. 3/5
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Meat is a metaphor, right?
I remember back in the day when I used to play Perfect Dark for the N64, and when I just felt like slaughtering some mindless slaves, I go up against 16 enemies on the Meat difficulty.
I feel like one of those enemies now.
Brutally challenging, but fun at the same time. The blocky grapics give it the feel of an old timey game, but the splash of blood when you die is just satisfying. Good job.

"We are extremely excited to begin construction on the new Tirunelveli campus, which has been designed with both our clients and employees in mind," said Prashant Ranade, Syntel CEO and President. "The campus is highly scalable and will give us additional flexibility to meet the growing demand for globally delivered IT services." "We are also grateful for the support of the Government of Tamil Nadu and NASSCOM, both of which have been indispensible during the planning process," said Ranade. U.S.-owned and operated Syntel has made significant investments in its infrastructure over the past several years, expanding its capacity in order to stay ahead of client demands. In addition to the new development in Tirunelveli, Syntel has also expanded its campuses in Pune and Chennai.

new year, new site wide password change, and this issue has reappeared.
I cant really go recreating all the outlook profiles again.
Exchange is now at SP3, and pretty fully patched, could it be an outlook update that is missing that would fix this?

I sure hope you guys are sitting down right now, for a couple of different reasons. First, if you're walking around watching porn on your phone what's wrong with you, watch where you're walking. Secondly and most importantly, you'd probably just fall over from the sheer hotness of this X Art update featuring Tiffany! I'm sure you know about Tiffany Thompson, she's been a legend since she busted onto the adult scene at age 18 and has only gotten more gorgeous since then. Well, she and her lucky boyfriend decided they were going to try out anal sex and since Tiffany was so comfortable with the X Art crew she decided to have them in attendance! That's right, you get to see this guy fucking Tiffany's tight ass in her first on-camera anal hardcore scene…that perfect ass of hers is finally getting pounded! Well I guess pounded isn't quite the right word, the guy is pretty gentle since she's not entirely used to having a hard cock buried in her backdoor, she'll need to be eased into things so to speak. In this lava-hot update Tiffany and her man play around on the beach before heading inside to get naked, with Tiffany giving him one of her incredible blowjobs before getting fucked in her sweet perfect pussy, then moving on to a jeweled buttplug and then finally getting that cock in her ass before taking a facial!
I think there's a preconception a lot of people have about girls on porn sites that they're just plain dumb or can't figure out another way to make money besides peddling their ass…well I'm sure that's probably pretty true for some girls but then there are ladies like Scarlet here from X Art! She's quite the smarty pants and if you're into the goth thing at all you're about to lose your mind because she's studying to be a mortician! For now though she's saving up some cash by showing off in the nude…in this sexy shoot she was studying in bed but eventually started thinking more and more about her lucky fella, and soon she was completely naked and slipping her fingers into her pussy and masturbating with a vibrator until she brought herself to a huge orgasm for us! This girl has an incredible body, it's mighty kind of her to share the goods with us like this!
If there's one thing X Art excels at it's bringing you some of the hottest women and showing how incredible sex can be! Well OK I guess technically that's two things they're excelling at but hey cmon, you know what I mean. This update called Taste Me features stunning blonde Susie and her boyfriend Steven as they spend a passionate morning in bed together…Susie headed into the room in her little white cutoff shorts and a white lacy shirt but the shorts dropped to the floor after about three seconds, revealing that perfect smooth ass of hers! Soon Susie was getting her pussy licked while she sucked her man's cock, then saddled up for a nice hard ride with her soft perky breasts in the guy's face. He fucked that perfect tight hole until he couldn't take the sensations anymore, pulled out and shot a big creamy load all over her pussy and stomach! This beautiful blonde has been in a number of other X Art updates but one of my personal favorites is when she took a cock in the mouth and one in the pussy at the same time in a scene called Body Language, definitely worth checking out.
It looks like things were pretty dimly lit in the bedroom when this X Art update was shot and that only serves to make it feel more intimate and comfortable when stunning babe Elena strips out of her little panties to show off an absolutely perfect pussy! Just look at that sweet hole of hers, it's flawless…the rest of her body is no slouch either though, she's got a great ass and a very nice pair of tits and of course that beautiful angelic face of hers. In this shoot the exotic honey is rolling around on the sheets, spreading her vagina wide and then fingering her hole for us, masturbating and throwing her head back in ecstasy as she brings herself to a massive shuddering orgasm! This girl is just on a whole other level of hotness, I don't have a video for this scene for you yet but hold your horses because I'm sure it's in the works. It would be a crime against humanity if there was never a video released so we could watch Elena getting down with some serious clit play, but for now we've just gotta be satisfied with these sexy sensual and artistic photos of Elena's Bedroom Hijinks.
You know the old saying, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…well, all work and no sex makes Caprice a grumpy girl and nobody wants to make Caprice unhappy so after a little while painting the walls in their new home her boyfriend decided to get into a little fun time with her, and they both lost their clothes and got down to a little hardcore fun! They painted each other just for goofing-around purposes, hence the title of this X Art update being Paint Me White, and once they had some paint on their chests (if anything it makes those perfect tits of hers even hotter, they have some sort of mystical power) Caprice took his cock in her mouth for a nice leisurely blowjob before dropping down to the floor and getting fucked right in the middle of the room! I mean if you're going to paint a room you might as well put it through its paces right off the bat, right?
No you're not dreaming, that really is a real woman's body and her name is Lisa in case you haven't seen her previous X Art updates! They're hot as hell by the way, you can take a look right here to get a nice sample of what I'm talking about. The title of this photoshoot is J'Adore Lisa which is French for "I love Lisa" and if you haven't already fallen in love with this girl (or at least fallen in lust) this shoot will almost certainly change your mind because she looks incredible. Perfect tits, perfect ass, absolutely stunning face and nice long dark hair, this girl is a stunner for sure! Apart from just being naked and easy on the eyes Lisa is running her hands all over herself, slipping her fingers into her tight wet pussy and mastubating, enjoying the excitement of having so many people watching her play with herself and bringing herself to orgasm! J'adore Lisa indeed.
American hottie Jenna Ross had taken her first trip to Brazil and met up with European stud Jake for the first time in this X Art update called Elevated Erotica…the highrise apartment was beautiful and I know a lot of people have been waiting for these two to meet up, well finally the time has come and soon you probably will to after checking out this hot rendezvous! They started things off with some hot passionate kissing and soon their clothes were coming flying off and Jenna was moaning away with Jake's tongue buried in her perfect tight pussy! Jenna has a body like a dream with those nice big breasts and her sweet round ass, and there's just something undefinably sexy about this girl that's hard to put your finger on. Jake seems to have no problem putting his cock on it though because he gave her a nice hard fucking, holding her creamy legs in the air and sliding his cock into her hole before shooting a big facial load of cum all over Jenna!
There's nothing more beautiful in this world that a stunning redhead with a tight perfect body and a pair of sheer black thigh high stockings, if you ask me! Ashley S is amazingly beautiful and that's saying something, particularly because she's on a site like X Art that's already well known for having gorgeous models. She's rolling around on the bed pulling up her sweater to run her hands over her perky little boobies, then rubs her pussy before buzzing her clit and fucking herself with her favorite vibrator! Not only does she play with her clit but she loves penetrating herself with the tip of it, moaning as she cums all over herself…I guess she got a little intense with her masturbation because soon she has a lamp on the bed that illuminates her tight little cunt. She keeps her thigh highs on the whole time and looks like a dream come true, especially with her tight beautiful ass in the air while she fingers her hole! The update is called Luminated Emotions, I guess the lamp is what's doing the illumination and she's certainly rousing up some emotions.
When you're checking out a site like X Art you'll notice right away that the models they have are utterly fucking gorgeous, and none of them more so (in my opinion) than Tiffany Thompson here! Her real-life boyfriend was a photographer so it worked out well to just put a camera on both of them as he took some shots of her showing off those perfect perky breasts! I'm not sure what's up with that black lanyard that's hanging around her neck but hey it doesn't get in the way of those titties so who cares. They start out just doing a normal photoshoot but soon she's got his cock out and giving him a blowjob, licking his dick up and down and gazing up at him with her beautiful seductive eyes. She spreads her legs and gets her perfect ass in the air, taking his cock deep in her tight wet pussy and getting fucked until the guy shot his load all over her tight tummy! The name of the shoot is For Your Eyes Only but I guess Tiffany's OK with sharing all of this hardcore hotness with us.
Give a nice warm welcome to the newest insanely smokin hot model to walk through the doors at X Art, beautiful brunette Nikki here! She's doing a little solo shoot here to show she's got the stuff to hang with the big dogs on a site known for having some of the hottest girls in the universe, and I think you'll agree with me that she's got what it takes and more! Absolutely beautiful face, incredible titties, hips like a dream and an ass you'll go ape for as she strips out of her sexy black lingerie on the white couch (hence the name of the update being Black On White) and sliding her hands down over those juicy bouncy titties, spreading her legs to play with her flower-petal labia, clicking her high heeled shoes together. This girl is a stunner and I think X Art is the perfect site for her, hopefully she gets into some hot hardcore scenes soon so we can see what it's like to fuck that perfect body of hers! It's always exciting to see a new hottie show up on a site like this, I think it's important to keep bringing fresh blood into the mix…seeing your favorite models come back time and time again is great but hey, there's a reason they say variety is the spice of life! Nikki here is definitely bringing some spice to the stew, that's for damn sure.
If you ever get invited to Breakfast At Eve's house I highly recommend you accept the invitation! This guy did and he's thanking his lucky stars as he finds the gorgeous blonde getting some coffee ready in her white tank top and skimpy little panties. She gets her perky petite boobies out and hops up on the kitchen counter to get her pussy licked and fingered, then props up one leg to get penetrated from behind by her man's hard cock! Eve A has only been in one other X Art scene so far and it was a group scene so this new one is her first solo hardcore action, and I think it's a winner…if you missed out on her previous scene it's called Thunderstorm Love, make sure you check that out too because it's hot as hell! So yeah she's pretty new on the X Art scene still but if Eve keeps up with scenes like this one I think she's got a mighty bright future ahead of her.
X Art has brought back a girl which they always do her name is Lily. You guys will remember her from Summertime Lunch a hot creampie scene that takes place in the kitchen. She is a petite girl with a banging body. The tits are the best part to me I love how puffy they are, I have no other way to explain it. I think this guy likes her pussy the best and I can't blame him for that. Nothing better then a shaven pussy really. She is asleep in her sheer panties when she is woken up by her man. He doesn't waste much time and is eating her pussy to get her in the mood. Once she can no longer take his licking because her clit is too sensitive she goes and returns the favor giving him a sensual blowjob. She isn't very experienced at it you can just tell but nevertheless we would all like to have our dick in this girls mouth. She gets him hard and then as you can see from this picture here she takes it for a ride. You don't see many girls who will start off in reverse cowgirl but that's how she likes to ride maybe it hits her g-spot better or something.
When you've got two horny beautiful lesbians like Ivy and newcomer Eve A, it's like a force of nature! I guess that's why they called this hot X Art update Thunderstorm Love…Ivy and Eve spent the afternoon on the couch together kissing and making out, slipping their hands into each others shorts, and Eve just couldn't seem to keep from kissing and licking and biting those perky little nipples on Ivy's boobies! Soon they had moved to fingering and licking and eating out each others pussies and I guess all the moaning drew the attention of Jake, who showed up and proceeded to rock both of those gorgeous chicks with his big hard cock. It takes a certain kind of man to be able to satisfy two horny hotties like Ivy and Eve but I guess Jake was up to the challenge because he brought both of them to orgasm as they took turns riding his dick until he shot his load of cum all over Eve's pussy tight stomach!
Man oh man…when I took a look at this gallery and saw just a handful of the photos I was blown away and figured this was some new X Art model who was about to light the world on fire, but then I realized it was gorgeous little Caprice! Just stands to reason, though; she's one of the hottest girls in the world if you ask me and consistently busts out the sexiest hardcore scenes on a site known for having smokin hot girls. This time she's joined by not one but two lucky dudes in a scene called In The Blind, having been blindfolded and tied up first by her boyfriend…she thought it was just his talented fingers and tongue sliding up and down and tickling her perfect tight pussy, but soon there were four hands at once and she knew something was up! The blindfold came off and she saw lucky Jake there with his big hard cock out smiling at her, and she about came right then and there…soon she had one big dick in her mouth and one in her pussy at the same time, moaning her head off! She fucked both of the guys one after the other, until her boyfriend shot a load into her pussy for a creampie and Jake gave her a nice facial to remember this hot hardcore threesome with.
Gina and her man had been out on the town for a nice romantic dinner and I guess they had some oysters or other aphrodisiac type foods because as soon as they got back to the house they were ripping each others' clothes off and fucking like crazy! I don't know if he literally scooped her up and ran back to the house but this X Art update is called Carry Me Home and Gina doesn't look like she weighs much so it's entirely possible. Did you know that oysters were an aphrodisiac by the way? I think maybe mangos are too but I forget…just a little handy tip from me to you. Anyway, Gina looks amazing with her perky titties as she gets her pussy licked, then gives the guy a little oral pleasure of his own as she sucks his big thick dick before getting her hole filled up with cock! He gives her a nice deep pounding in their first-ever time in bed together, but from the looks of things this will definitely not be the last we hear of these two. It's always exciting to see new lovers exploring each other for the first time, especially when the chick is as gorgeous as Gina!
Most of the time when you see the gorgeous Emily Grey on X Art she's got a big hard cock sliding into her mouth or her pussy or both, but this time Emilie Is All Alone! I'm not sure why they spelled her name like that when it's just Emily Grey, that's easy enough to type isn't it? Anyway she's on her own in this update, I guess it's after a photoshoot because she's paging through some pictures of herself on her laptop…I guess even Emily is unable to resist pictures of herself because she gets all turned on, sliding her hand down between her thighs and playing with her pussy before she pulls out one of her favorite toys and starts masturbating in earnest right there on the living room floor! Her nipples look like they could cut glass as she buzzes her clit, eyes closed in ecstasy and her toes curling as she brings herself to the peaks of pleasure for this sexy solo X Art shoot!
You can't have too many gorgeous horny brunettes with perfect bodies if you ask me, and nobody knows that better than X Art! They've brought yet another beautiful model onto the site, her name is Carrol and this is her debut set…this Czech beauty meets up with her man in the bedroom before they head out on the town for dinner or whatever, but first they've got to work up an appetite by making sweet passionate love! She peels her panties off, sliding them down her legs while her man helps her out of her dress to show off those perfect perky boobies…Carrol gives a great blowjob and has great tits but what she's really proud of is her ass! She has every reason to be, too; that butt is fantastic and looks great as she gets pinned to the bed and fucked from above, spreading her legs to let that cock slide deep into her wet hole before going for a ride on top…I guess her man couldn't keep up with that level of sexiness for long because soon he blasts a load that goes halfway up her back! He's a gentleman though so instead of just leaving her to it and bailing, he slides down to tongue her pussy and bring Carrol to her own orgasm…everyone cums out a winner in this hot scene called Be With Me! Welcome aboard Carrol, can't wait to see more.
They call this blonde babe Sammy on X Art but they have a funny way of calling their models whatever they want…they can't slip the wool over my eyes though, I know Samantha Rone when I see her! And man oh man do we get to see her in this hot photoshoot called Highrise Rendezvous! She was in her apartment getting a little work done on her laptop when her man Jake swung by, grabbing her big tits as they embraced and dropping to his knees to pull her panties down and lick that sweet tight pussy until it was dripping wet! Samantha is pretty much perpetually horny and doesn't even bother taking her glasses off before she licks and sucks Jake's cock hard, then hops up on the chair to get her pussy fucked from behind. Sammy loves to fuck and she does it up right in this update, riding Jake's big stick and hooking a leg over his shoulder to take him nice and deep…hopefully her work wasn't on a tight deadline or something because it looks like her afternoon is pretty much filled up now, and so is her pussy!
This girl Lisa just radiates pure sexual energy…they describe her on the X Art site as a 'rare, wild flower' and I'm not really sure what they mean by that, maybe she smells good? Maybe they want to press her between the pages of a book? I don't really know but what I do know is that Lisa is fucking stunning and has an incredible body with nice perky breasts, a sweet perfect ass and a nice tight pussy! She not only looks incredible, she also just plain loves sex so she really gets into it in this X Art update called Yours Forever, riding her man's dick and getting pounded doggystyle after pulling off her little white thong. She gives a nice blowjob too by the way, this girl is just well rounded in terms of rocking cock! Sometimes on a hardcore adult site when people fuck it's like they are just going through the motions or something, but not Lisa…it feels real, it feels passionate, she loves to fuck and her man obviously loves to fuck her! She ends up pounding this guy until he can't take the perfection of her sweet pussy anymore and shoots a big load of cum all over himself.
Prepare yoruself for one of the most beautiful women in the world…I've seen an awful lot of women in this industry and Angelica here is seriously one of the most smokin hot girls either in or out of the adult industry, and happily for all involved she's showing off in the buff for X Art! It's entitled Angelica Means Angel and in it she's all by her lonesome, only she doesn't exactly seem lonesome, it seems like she is all the company she needs as she shimmies out of her white top and gray panties and masturbates with one of her favorite dildos! I guess if you're a fan of huge tits or curvy girls you might not agree with my estimation of her hotness but if you are down with thin girls with perky boobies and nice tight asses Angelica here is basically perfect from head to toe. She fucks herself with that toy until she cums, orgasming with a hip-bucking ferocity that lets you know just how fun she is to fuck!
The music was pumping in sexy Russian newcomer Gina's headphones when her guy started putting on the moves…Gina loves anything that gets her hips a-shakin and her horny boyfriend's tongue was definitely getting her hips moving as he licked and tickled her pussy! After sucking his big cock they started fucking in the bedroom when their mutual pal Keira showed up, hearing all the commotion! They both gave Keira a very welcoming look and a smile and she immediately dropped her shorts, showing off that perfect tight ass before hopping into bed with these two lovebirds to turn this passionate fuck session into a steamy hardcore threeway in this X Art update called Rock Me Baby! This lucky guy gets to fuck both of these horny hotties…Gina makes a hell of an entrance in her first scene on the site, showing her perky little boobies and rocking the hell out of this guy's dick, as well as making out with Keira and licking her pussy like a lesbian. Can't wait to see more!

This blog's title is the sub-title of my book Obama, Doctors, and Health Reform.
What do I mean by this subtitle? Good question. As I told a friend of mine once "Don't tell me something is too complex to understand. Try me."
OK, I'll try to convince you and myself.
First, reform entails turning downside up a health system in a bottom-up society in a vast continental nation with strikingly different regional cultures. For examples, I now live in Connecticut, where the average sized physician group is about 5, but I lived in Minnesota where the typical physician group is 150 doctors; Kaiser flourishes in California, but it has failed in Connecticut and Texas: near universal coverage may work in affluent Massachusetts, where it has raised costs by 32% in three years, but it's not likely to work in California, which has a budget deficit of $24 billion.
Second, for 233 years, America, to escape from European top-heavy governments, has been a culture that distrusts government and worships individualism. It believes all men are created equal, But it does not believe all men must be kept equal. It believes in equal opportunity. But it does not necessarily endorse equal results. Polls indicate most Americans who do not want health insurance should be forced to buy it.
Third, Americans believe in freedom of choice, in deciding what health plans and doctors they want to choose, and in capitalism rather than socialism. These mindsets complicate the politics of imposing a predominately government run system and creating a public health system to compete with private plans.
Four, it is hard to superimpose a government controlled, regulated system, and health care provided care system on the current deeply ingrained system based on employer provided care with care delivered by private organizations and private physicians. Here an analogy with General Motors, which has just declared bankruptcy, may be order. Medicare, after all, is just 6 years away from a bankruptcy of its own. As a GM executive, Elmer Johnson, noted in a January 11, 1998memo, "We have vastly underestimated how deeply ingrained are the organizational and cultural rigidities that hamper our ability to executives.
Five, the health care sector is perhaps the only U.S sector gaining in employment and in positive economic impacts in many communities. Indeed, health care dominates the economy and is the largest employer in countless towns, cities, and regions. In New York City, representative Charles Rangel, who has spent his entire career protecting New York City hospitals, stoutly refuses legislation that would tax the health benefits of corporations and that would presumably decrease patient traffic to New York City hospitals.
Six, I have never met a health care leader – of a hospital, drug company, device manufacturer, health plan, academic medical center, or physician group – whose declared mission was to decrease the market share or profit of his/her organization, cut the income of employee, to lay off employees to save money for patients and to make care more "affordable." That is simply not in the cards for a capitalistic society, for competing in a technology-driven health system engaged in marketing wars with competitors, for offering superior quality care, or for complying with government regulations. As the saying goes, "no margin, no mission."
As David Brooks metioned in his June 2 column in the New York Times, "The Quagmire Ahead, " government control does not assure success. It merely assures endless bailouts and printing money to cover deficits. "An overconfident government throws itself into a dysfunctional culture it doesn't understand. The result is quagmire. The costs escalate . There is no exit strategy."
Or, a John Goodman, founder of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative think-tanksaid in a speech "A Prescription for American Health Care before the Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, "Liberating the medical market by freeing doctors and patients is the only way to bring health care costs under control without sacrificing quality. Continuing on our present path – allowing health care costs to rise at twice the rate of increase of the rate of income under the aegis of an unworkable government Ponzi scheme – is by comparison unreasonable."
As I said in the beginning, health care reform is too complex for most of us to understand on both sides of the political aisle in our left-drifting market-driven capitalistic culture.
Some liberals are becoming conservatives mugged by the Obama-estimates of $1.3 trillion required to achieve universal coverage over the next ten years.
And some conservatives are becoming liberal as they contemplate what current health costs are doing to hamper their abilities to compete in the global marketplace.

Covert Affairs Season Premiere: Four Sneak Peeks!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Covert Affairs returns on July 10 with new episodes, and a whole new spy game.
As teased in the following sneak peeks at the Season 3 premiere, "Hang On to Yourself," Annie will need to adjust to a new mentor (played by Sarah Clarke) and a set-up at work. Watch her get introduced to it now:
How does Clarke's Lena differ from Annie's former boss? This clip gives viewers, and the operative herself, an idea:
And just where do things stand between Annie and Joan? It's a tad awkward:
The same can unfortunately be said for Annie and Auggie, who clearly aren't on the same page these days:

I will make this one again. The fabric was very cheap at fabric land and the pattern has really easy, clear instructions. It seemed to come together really easily. I probably should have taken the bodice in a bit more, but I still think it fits ok…a relaxed look. This has a side invisible zip, side pockets and buttons for the front, so plenty of things to keep me concentrating! The bodice is lined and this bit is completed before adding the skirt section, so all very neat on the inside. Finished it last night and am wearing it this morning for work.
I don't usually wear black, so I used orange buttons and orange gingham for the pockets, to add colour.

Bridgeport police charged 28-year-old Marvin Williams with third-degree assault, possession of narcotics and other crimes Thursday while responding to a report of a child being assaulted.

Tough and breathable for safety and comfort.
Give your knees a lightweight insurance policy against impact during a fall with Six Six One's Comp Knee/Shin Guard. Constructed from high-impact, vented plastic and soft EVA foam, the Comp absorbs impact, instead of fragile body parts. Pre-shaped foam, along with wide hook-and-loop straps hold the Comp securely in place when pedaling.
A soft nylon liner wicks perspiration and works with the vents and breathable EVA foam to keep the Comp Knee/Shin Guard cool and dry so it doesn't turn into a downward-sliding annoyance. The Six Six One Comp Shin/Knee Guard comes in one color, White, and sizes Small through X-Large.

What are the potential risks of a cesarean?
The risks of planned repeat cesarean fall into three categories:
1. Risks of cesarean, compared with vaginal birth (14):
Cesarean section results in more pain, debility, and a longer recovery period. It substantially increases the risk of infection, injury to other organs, hemorrhage, and blood clots. These complications, in turn, increase the likelihood of prolonged hospitalization, hysterectomy, readmission to the hospital, and maternal death. Babies who were healthy before delivery are more likely to be born in poor condition or have breathing difficulties. In the long term, cesareans can lead to chronic pain or bowel problems, and they increase the risk of infertility, miscarriage, placental abruption (placenta detaching before the birth), and placenta previa (placenta overlaying the cervix).
2. Excess risks of planned cesarean versus labor:
Hysterectomy: In the Swiss study, three times as many women having planned cesareans required hysterectomies as women who labored (45 per 10,000 versus 16 per 10,000) (15,30). Among 29 other studies, comprising 18,500 planned cesareans and 38,700 labors after cesarean, hysterectomy rates were also tripled in the planned cesarean group (21 per 10,000 versus 7 per 10,000) (15).
Blood clot complications: In the Swiss study, planned cesarean doubled the risk of blood clot complications (43 per 10,000 versus 22 per 10,000) (30).

City of Centralia Receives Another Unexpected Bill from IDOTThe City of Centralia has received a large outstanding bill in the amount of $70,000 from the Illinois Department of Transportation. This is the third time the city has been surprised by an overdue bill notice from IDOT in the past two years. The last bill seeking $110,000 arrived just a few months ago. City Manager Dan Ramey announced the city had received the bill during Tuesday's city council meeting.
The Bill charges the city for the blacktop overlay completed in 2010 on Broadway Street from Oak Park to Pullen Boulevard. The bill came as a shock to Mayor Tom Ashby, who was confused and agitated as to why the previous administration did not pay the bill.
"When you do a project now, you bring it as part of the budget and you incur it as part of the budgetary project, knowing that it's going to cost us $100,000 dollars...don't you?" Ashby asked Ramey.
Ramey replied "Mayor, I can't answer why other people did things."
Ramey said that due to a bookkeeping technicality, the outstanding bill may never have made it to the books. I-DOT paid the initial bill, meaning it never showed up on city ledgers. I-DOT expected to be reimbursed.
The bill is due October 29th.

This inspired Nikontrol 3K, a free program that does basically the same thing, but for free. Read More
