Ahhhh. Eastern Europe. Where the delicious buff boys grow on trees, and where they're all hung like trunks.
In Border Patrol by High Octane, 15 scrumptious Euro muscle hunks play river cops who can't seem to take their dicks out of each other long enough to be a viable deterrent to river menace. To protect and to "serve" all right!
For the first scene of Border Patrol, on the back of a docked patrol boat, Atilla B. and Miklos O. turn their deck-swabbing chores into some spit swapping and cock grinding. And sucking. And rimming. And fingering. Even double fingering, as a prelude to ass fucking.
All this in broad daylight, right out in the open on the river bank, while the wistful new age music drowns out the radio chatter and the boys' muffled gibberish.
We're just getting started here. I'm getting hard again just typing about this video. But I'll try to keep it together for just a little longer.
Then creamy dreamy cover boys Akos G. and Atilla K. fondling each other while scanning for sinister aquatic activities. Disregarding their policing duties, they instead regard each other's pulsating cocks orally. Akos puts Atilla over some fuel barrels and pounds his muscled ass while passengers of a passing boat catch a protracted eyeful.
Next in Border Patrol by High Octane, we get a scene in a hangar involving one hungry bottom (Lajos D.) and two hung tops (Zsolt K. and Zoltan S.) who do it right in front of all the aircraft. Some sloppy editing and shaky camerawork is evident in this scene, especially the moment when the photographer bumps the camera into a boy's shoe.
From this moment on I noticed all the zooms and pans as the cameramen tried to obscure the obtrusive foot wear each boy is wearing. On the other hand, this scene is ripe with what I like to call "mutant shots" – extreme close ups of engorged body parts sliding into each other that can often, with the proper disorienting camera angles, look like moist furry veiny wrinkled humanoids.
By the way, this scene is punctuated by the same feathery music as before playing in an endless loop, but it doesn't quite drown out the incessant squawking of a chorus of birds up in the rafters.
Back at the riverbank, we see a patrol boat approaching shore. While the first two (Laszlo V. and Elemer) inspect the hull, they're oblivious to the three-way commencing behind them. Atilla F. is tag-teamed by Peter and Istvan, who take turns boring into his cute bubble butt. Meanwhile, Laszlo and Elemer initiate their own sucking session while still standing in the shallows, and eventually they fuck while propped against a beached tree trunk.
Yet despite all the ass lunging and cum squirting, and even a naughty cream facial, the scene is tainted by a major editing goof that literally jumps back and replays an entire five-minute segment. This might not have been so obvious if the edit hadn't created a glaring continuity gap (the two groups are fucking, then one guy rotates and switches to the other group, but then we cut back to the original configuration and witness the identical rotation all over again).
For the finale, we're next to a patrol plane parked in the middle of a grassy field. Zoltan C. uses Karoly's tight ass as a cock clench, all while propped up against the fuselage and, at one point, on top of the wing. Meanwhile, a stray masturbater (Ferenc) straddles up to the plane and whacks off while watching them go.
No doubt about it: these stunningly hot Euro hunks are 4-star material, but the endless music, jagged editing and occasionally sloppy camerawork are a consistent distraction. As for the lengthy chunk of sex played twice, that's either careless or shady.
Watch Border Patrol by High Octane! Starring Akos Gazdag, Attila Balog, Attila Ferenczi, Attila Kaman, Elemer Rozsahegyi, Ferenc Ughy, Istvan Szabo, Karoly Hranek, Lajos Dombai, Laszlo Virag, Miklos Olah, Peter Toth, Zoltan Csanyi, Zoltan Scher, Zsolt Kopre.

Light rain fell throughout the night in Charlotte, but heavier precipitation is arriving for the Wednesday morning commute.
An area of moderate to heavy showers pushed into the immediate Charlotte area from the west around daybreak, and forecasters said they expect the rain to continue until mid-morning.
Much nicer conditions are predicted for Wednesday afternoon, before a return to cooler weather for the rest of the week.
The cluster of rain showers is connected to a cold front that will move through the Charlotte region during the morning hours. The front will scour out an area of cool, damp air that had become locked in place Tuesday in the Piedmont.
After the rain ends, skies are expected to clear partially, and forecasters predict temperatures will climb rapidly from the upper 30s – where reading have been stuck for nearly 24 hours – to the middle 60s by afternoon.
Cooler air will filter into the region Wednesday night, and highs Thursday are not expected to climb much above 50 degrees, despite partial sunshine.
Then another low pressure system is predicted to arrive Friday, bringing a chance of rain in the morning and early afternoon hours. Rain also is possible Saturday and Sunday, although forecasters say it is too early to iron out the details on when the rain will fall.

Pasta Recipes
Spaghetti with Sun Gold Tomato Sauce
Warm spices, supersweet Sun Gold tomatoes, and a short cooking time reinvent the ordinary marinara.
Strozzapreti with Spinach and Preserved Lemon
This bright, vegetarian sauce features lemon three ways: juice, zest, and preserved lemon peel.
Orecchiette with Squash, Chiles, and Hazelnuts
There are two hits of chile in this dish. It's used early on to infuse the oil, where it mellows. The sprinkle added at the end is more "precocious," says chef Philip Krajeck, Rolf and Daughters, Nashville. "It's not in every bite, but when it hits you, it makes a big impact."
Orecchiette Carbonara with Charred Brussels Sprouts
Chef Philip Krajeck, Rolf and Daughters, Nashville, says the key to this dish is getting a good char on the brussels sprouts, which helps balance the richness of the porky, eggy sauce. Salt draws moisture out of the leaves, which might make them soggy, so he doesn't season them.
Fresh Pasta
Because this dough is eggless, it has great al dente texture. If you can't find durum wheat flour, all-purpose will work well, too.
Pasta with Chorizo and Chickpeas
As co-chefs at Hog & Hominy in Memphis, Michael Hudman and Andy Ticer see each other daily, but the old friends still cook together on days off. "Andy does the steak," says Hudman, "and I do the pasta."

A boxy-fitting jacket with ZERO insolation or lining!
Even though this jacket seem to fit true to size, the overall fit doesn't look very flattering. I expected it to have some sort of lining like the guy's Dickies-type of jackets; but it doesn't. So I don't think this jacket will be very warm. The Gun Metal color is really nice. It's a dark, smokey, slightly navy, grey. I just wish the overall fit was more flattering and the jacket had some sort of lining for insolation/warmth : /

"When the sun shines we'll shine togetherRobyn Rihanna Fenty, born February 20 1988, is a popular R&B/hip-hop star who hails from Saint Michael, Barbados, although her mother was from Guyana. Discovered by Jay-Z, she gained fame in the music industry via her first single, "Pon de Replay".Her third album,Good Girl Gone Bad, is considered her breakout album, containing what many would call her Signature Song, "Umbrella." However, what catapulted her into mainstream worldwide focus was when she was physically assaulted by her then boyfriend, R&B singer Chris Brown, in February of 2009. The incident seemed to have changed her once upbeat and pop-laden image, as her more recent works, as well as her appearance, have become almost blatantly Darker and Edgier. Even her happy, upbeat songs have an edge to them that didn't happen by coincidence...She has released an astounding seven albums in seven years leaving her in the public eye at all times in some form thanks to annual releases since 2005. Also thanks to that, she quickly skyrocketed to become one of the most successful singers ever. It hasn't even been 10 years since her first album was released, but she has already sold over 150 million records.Discography:
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella"
—Rihanna, "Umbrella"

Anyone try replacing the vienna with victory? Or added about a 1lb of victory?
How does it taste? Nuttier? Overpowering?
I was thinking of using 1lb of victory as a replacement for the 1lb of vienna. I know it will be a bit darker, but I'm thinking that bready/nutty flavor might compliment the Cascade hops.
Made my first batch of this epic recipe on veterans day. Had some mash temp issues, little on the low side. Came in at 1042. Used my new ferm chiller to ferment around 62* and used US-05 given the notty issues. After 11 days, gravity was at 1007 (4.5%). Gonna let it sit around 68 for another week and a half or so before bottling. Sample tasted great and was very clear. Expecting this to be my best brew yet
Made this last weekend, can anyone recommend what to carb this at,(bottle priming)http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/rec...l?11821436#tag
Thanks Clifford
Bad luck sigurdur, hope my first batch is ok, i haven't took the lid of it yet.
It was a bad packet of yeast that caused the problems (along with the fact that I was checking it on the third, fourth and fifth day to see if it had started or not).
But my guess is that your beer will turn out fantastic, cliffyj!
This must be a keeper jbair1, i would like to get 2 or 3 recipes that i can brew over and over.
Haus Pale Ale, might be another 1
Alrighty, so I brewed this yesterday and all went well.
This is what I have now. I rehydrated two packages of nottingham yeast. At about the 27 hour mark right now. Should I be concerned about the bottle on the left? I have an extra packet of yeast that I could rehydrate and pitch if absolutely necessary, but want some opinions

Student Research Opportunities in the CSS Biocomputing Lab
The UWB CSS Biocomputing Laboratory is interested in the intersection of biology and computing. This includes building simulations of biological systems, developing computational solutions for biology, analyzing simulation or experimental data, and developing all of the infrastructure necessary to do these things and disseminate our results. This means that we have a wide range of opportunities for students to help, from new CSS majors to graduate students searching for a thesis topic. It also means that our work intersects with a number of CSS faculty members' interests, as well as colleagues in other UWB programs and at other campuses. If you're interested, you can begin working in the lab early in your career here at UWB doing general tasks and learning about the specifics of our work, and later start on more ambitious projects. This is an excellent way to build a portfolio of work and to build professional connections with faculty and other students.
General Projects
- Documentation (work with faculty and more senior students to build an understanding of what we've done and how our software works).
- Dissemination and web (learn about what we do by explaining it to others).
- Data analysis and visualization (apply general programming skills and/or mathematical background to process and present up to terabytes of data).
- Software engineering (apply what you've learned about SE to help bring order to the chaos of experimental software, help verify that our software does what we think it does, etc).
Specialized Projects
- Simulation (help to develop and expand simulations of brain growth and function).
- GPGPU algorithm development and programming (learn to move single-threaded code to graphics processing units; optimize code to gain maximal speedup on GPU architectures).
- Multicore programming (learn how to speed simulation and analysis software up by using more than one CPU core).
- Distributed programming (speed up data analysis by distributing tasks across multiple computers).
- Big data (some of our simulations could, in principle, generate terabytes of data; how can we handle this?).
- Software Engineering (develop reusable tools to help biologists and computational scientists move their projects to GPUs, etc).
- Masters projects and theses (these specialized topics contain the seeds of a number of excellent MS projects and theses).


text: Press Release For Immediate Release Megan Lueders, Lifesize – USA +1-512-623-4151 firstname.lastname@example.com Lifesize Gives Big Companies a Small Carbon Footprint Independent Research Study Reveals Lifesize's Potential Eco- and Budget-friendly Impact on Fortune 500 Companies Austin, Texas, April 19, 2011 Just in time for Earth Day, Lifesize, a division of Logitech (Nasdaq: LOGI) (SIX: LOGN), today released findings from a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Lifesize that demonstrates the potential economic and environmental impact of video conferencing solutions on Fortune 500 companies. The study analyzed a Lifesize Fortune 500 customer – the European division of a Japanese consumer electronics company – and revealed a risk-adjusted ROI of 392 percent over five years, in addition to enabling the company to meet its aggressive carbon emission reduction goals. Before deploying Lifesize video conferencing, the subject of the Forrester Consulting study was no stranger to video collaboration tools. Instead, the company discovered its existing video conferencing solution had quickly become obsolete and required extensive maintenance, which caused the system to go widely underutilized. With continued faith in the benefits of video calling, the company sought out a new solution that would help increase productivity across global offices, reduce travel costs during the economic downturn and succeed in their commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 90 percent by 2050. Forrester Consulting evaluated the measurable results that this customer was able to achieve by deploying the Lifesize solution. According to the study, "Ongoing maintenance and support costs were approximately half the cost of other video conferencing solutions considered by the customer. This resulted in a lower TCO of approximately 24 percent as compared to other comparable solutions being considered." Additionally, in just one year after rolling out the Lifesize systems, the company experienced a 392 percent risk-adjusted ROI, over $1 million in reduced travel costs and close to a 12 percent decrease in carbon emissions. "[We] put a total freeze on travel…[and] the only reason we could do this was because we had a new videoconferencing solution in place," said the customer. "For years the industry has looked to video conferencing solutions to help them to not only reduce costs but also to become a greener organization," said Craig Malloy, chief executive officer of Lifesize and Logitech senior vice president. "Not until now have these solutions been affordable enough to justify both sides of the coin. We believe Forrester's analysis and our customers' stories speak to the true ROI behind our solutions and demonstrate how truly going green can also be great for business." The customer at the center of Forrester's study experienced the following key results from deploying Lifesize HD video conferencing solutions: Lowest TCO – ongoing maintenance and support. Lifesize saved the company over $1 million in travel expenses in one year and experienced an ROI payback in just nine months. Lifesize's solutions were substantially more cost-effective to maintain compared to its closest competitor and offered the company the highest quality video conferencing with lower bandwidth required, eliminating any additional deployment costs. Real-world results – more efficient and better work experiences. The use of Lifesize video conferencing reduced travel by 46 percent within the first year of deployment, allowing employees to travel less and stay closer to home. The company also benefited from more efficient employee interaction and global collaboration through better quality communication with colleagues at different locations. Eco-friendly – reduced carbon emissions. The customer was able to meet its carbon dioxide emission reduction goals with close to a 12 percent decrease in carbon emissions within the first year of deployment, eliminating more than 800,000 tons of CO2 – a direct result of reduced travel. In one year's time, travel was cut by 46 percent. An abstract to the commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Lifesize: The Total Economic Impact of Lifesize HD Video Conferencing Solutions, March 2011, can be viewed here. Infos zu Lifesize Mit Lifesize sind Videokonferenzen so einfach, lebensecht und interessant wie persönliche Gespräche.

3 Top Web Stocks
Editor's note: As part of our partnership with PBS's Nightly Business Report, TheStreet's James Rogers joined NBR to discuss under-the-radar Internet infrastructure stocks. (Watch video and read transcript)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Blue chip tech stocks like Google (GOOG) and Amazon (AMZN) may be the biggest names on the Internet, but investors looking to harness some upside in the next stage of the Web revolution should watch Akamai (AKAM), Rackspace (RAX) and Digital River (DRIV), say analysts.
The powers of these lesser-known Web stocks lie in areas like content delivery, managed hosting and online transaction processing -- key web technologies that help ease and eliminate data bottlenecks created by the massive demand for content that mobile device-wielding customers expect from the Internet.
"It doesn't seem like people are slowing down their use of the Internet," said Tim Klasell, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus. "We're continuing to put up more Web sites and do more transactions over the Internet."
These three stocks offer a different form of specialized Web service and present a cheaper entry point into Internet stocks than do Google and Amazon, which are priced, respectively, at $616.50 and $169 a share.The three companies have all also hit 52-week highs in the past month. Read on for more about why analysts say Akamai, Rackspace and Digital River have topped their lists.

Ignition Switch
I have a 96 Tacoma SR5 V6 4x4 with 262xxx Miles. There is no light comes on. The Ignition Switch was bad and every time I turned the Engine off, I could not turn the Ignition Switch to the Lock position so I could not pull the key out. I left the key in there in the ACC position for several days and the Battery was out then I could turned to the Lock position and pulled the key out as normal. Yesterday I just bought a new Ignition Switch from Toyota Dealer to replace it. Also I recharged the Battery, but after I finished installing the new Ignition Switch, I tested it and it worked fine, but it did the same thing as it did before with the new Ignition Switch. Do you have any idea why? I need your help please.
Any idea, guys.
It sometime works fine, but sometime it does not. Did any of you have the same or similar problem as I do now?
Automatic transmission?
I found out, not 100% sure, the problem is the key interlock solenoid.
I had the same problem and found the shift lock control switch was bad. The transmission didn't know it was in park and wouldn't let the key turn to the off position. I umounted the console at the base of the gear shift and bypassed the switch; remounted the console and the ignition switch works fine now.
The only side effect is: you can shift out of park without having to depress the brake pedal and you can turn off (and remove) the key from the switch while the gear shift is in any position. Not necessarily a bad thing, just mentioning it.
Great. It's a good reminding.
I removed the front cover (under the steering wheel) and unbolted the Key Interlock Solenoid for several days now and it works fine. In this case, can I just leave it unbolt and put the front cover back in? Is it safe?
It shouldn't hurt anything. If the connector has any exposed contacts, tape them to prevent a short circuit and it shouldn't be a problem.
Lol, you and I operated on opposite ends of the same circuit: shiftlock control ecu sends impulse signal to the key interlock solenoid.

Climate confab just hot air
Representatives of 193 nations meeting in Cancun, Mexico, apparently still couldn't agree on how to redistribute richer nations' wealth to poorer nations under the pretense of combating global warming.
As delegates left Cancun, we're pleased to note that, like last year's failed U.N.-sponsored climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, this global warming summit amounted to little more than two weeks of hot air. Meanwhile, reality continues cooling global warming fever.
Top NASA experts reported existing climate computer models exaggerate CO2's warming effects, and fail to properly Login to read more

The NFL's Three Stooges stop motion scramble to cover its ass in the wake of the Ray Rice scandal involved some buffoonery with using a Rihanna song in the new pre game show. The NFL apparently planned to use the song as a tie in to the domestic violence elephant in their guilt laden repentance tinged opening. They put out a press release advertising the former punching bag's involvement in the show.
"CBS & NFL Network 'Run This Town' for Thursday Night Football Open with Music Featuring Rihanna & Narration by Don Cheadle."
Rihanna's people felt this was exploitive because her involvement was limited to background music, and it was obvious the NFL was involved in some ham fisted PR bullshit so juvenile it was most likely conceived of under some bleachers. According to them, Rihanna's label didn't grant the rights to use the song because of this.
"Due to the misuse and misrepresentation of Rihanna's name and participation in connection to CBS TNF, CBS was not allowed to license and utilize the song 'Run This Town.' Roc Nation made the decision to not grant the song's usage."
The NFL responded by pretending to voluntarily exclude the song from the show, insinuating that they did it in good taste, which is the same reason they wanted to use the song before they were not able to. Basically the NFL thinks they run our cultural landscape like Kim Jong un rules North Korea. If he misses a putt, someone will either move the green or tap it in when he's not looking. Surely they are onto the fact that we all know they are lying and twisting everything, and still have no choice but to watch football. Its called a dictatorship. Rihanna should be pissed, although she doesn't mind being taken advantage of and will quickly wash away the pain by banging a strange man with sideburns on a yacht.

"This was my first order with Tiny Prints, and I am very delighted with the end result! I am convinced that most problems people experience, problems say, with lay-out, cropping, photo color, etc...are all things that can be fixed by editing your photos better BEFORE uploading your photos to be used in your project. Tools in editing make it easy! All of the relatives I've heard from so far have given nothing but big compliments! I wish I would have discovered Tiny Prints before now!!"
"The design of the card made it look delicate and sweet. It was really easy to modify the copy as needed. Paper quality with Tiny Prints never lets me down."
"Really a lovely inviation for a first communion. Ordered it with the scalloped border/pearl finish and pearl envelope. Very delicate looking, nice for an 8 year old."
"Very impressed with these invitations. I have received compliments from those responding to the party. Would definitely purchase these again."
"I love this invitation! It's simple and beautiful. I ordered the pearl shimmer and it added that extra touch of elegance."

Mali's prime minister, Moussa Mara, has said his country is now "at war" with Tuareg separatists , following a battle between government forces and members of the nomadic rebel group that killed at least 36 people, the defence ministry said.
Mara made the statement on Sunday after clashes between the two sides in the northern city of Kidal on Saturday also caused at least 30 people to be taken hostage, according to government officials.
"In light of this declaration of war, the Republic of Mali is henceforth at war," Mara told the Reuters news agency. "We are going to formulate the appropriate response to the situation," he said.
The fighting started on Saturday outside the regional governor's offices as Mali's prime minister visited the city of Kidal as part of his first tour of the country's restive northern desert.
RELATED: The fight for a Tuareg homeland
"During the fighting, eight members of the armed forces were killed and 25 were wounded while 28 of the attackers were killed," the defence ministry said in a statement.
A source from the governor's office told the AFP news agency that about 30 of the office's personnel were reported missing.
"We do not know their fate. We also do not know exactly how many of them are being held by the rebels," the official said.
Tuareg takeover
A spokesman for the MNLA, a secular separatist Tuareg rebel group that wants an independent state in northern Mali called Azawad , claimed control of the town of Kidal on Sunday.
"We've taken about 40 prisoners, including high-ranking military officers and civil servants," said Attaye Ag Mohamed, a MNLA spokesman. "They're all safe and sound and doing well," he told Reuters.
He added that Mali's United Nations peacekeeping mission had called for a ceasefire and that there had been no fighting on Sunday.
"The town is completely secured by us...the army are back inside their base. If they attack us, however, we'll fight back," Mohamed said.
Mali, a former French colony, was thrown into turmoil in 2012 when al-Qaeda-linked fighters took advantage of a Tuareg-led rebellion and seized control of the country's north.
A French-led military operation drove back the fighters last year, but the Mali government has shifted its focus to the Tuareg rebels.
Mara criticised both the French and UN forces in the country for allowing the attack to take place on Saturday.
"You were witnesses today to the more than passiveness of these forces," he said.

2015 Awards:
The 2015 Blackwell Award:
The Association of Legal Writing Directors and the Legal Writing Institute are proud to announce that the 2015 Thomas F. Blackwell Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Legal Writing will be awarded to Helen Shapo, Professor of Law Emerita at Northwestern University School of Law.
The Blackwell Award Reception will be held from 8-10 p.m. on Friday, January 2, 2015, during the AALS Annual Meeting in Washington D.C.
The Boards of the Legal Writing Institute (LWI) and the Association of Legal Writing Directors (ALWD) jointly created this distinguished award to honor the life of our colleague, Tom Blackwell. The award is presented annually to a person who has made an outstanding contribution to improve the field of Legal Writing by demonstrating:
Helene exemplifies these qualities and has been a pioneer in the legal writing field. As explained in her nomination letter:
[T]hroughout her 35-year career in the LRW field, she has quietly but firmly pushed for both more and more diversified course offerings and for more credits for those courses, better faculty salaries and status, and greater job security.
In just about every way possible over her incredible career, Helene has been an innovator and a leader in our field. Through her writing, speaking, service, and curriculum design, she has been a guiding light in advancing the discipline of Legal Writing, improving the way it is taught to students, and improving the status and security of Legal Writing faculty.
The 2015 Golden Pen Award:
(Information will be posted when available)
2014 Awards:
The 2014 Blackwell Award:
The Association of Legal Writing Directors and the Legal Writing Institute awarded the 2014 Thomas F. Blackwell Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Legal Writing to Jan Levine at the AALS Conference in New York City. Jan is an Associate Professor and Director of Legal Research and Writing at Duquesne University School of Law.
As stated in the letter nominating him for the Blackwell Award, Jan exemplifies the qualities honored by this award in several important ways:
For a quarter of a century, he has brought practical strategies for better legal writing education to his students. Through his work as a legal writing director, he has upgraded the legal writing programs at four very different law schools – Virginia, Arkansas-Fayetteville, Temple, and Duquesne – improving directly the legal education of all the students at those schools. In addition, his conference presentations, service, and scholarship have helped an entire generation of legal writing professors innovate and professionalize, helping to improve the legal skills training of many more students across the country. There are scores of legal writing professors and program directors who have benefitted from [his] assistance with their careers and his tireless mentoring, consulting, and strategizing.
The 2014 Golden Pen Award
Ken Adams is the recipient of the 2014 Golden Pen Award. The author of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, published by the ABA, Mr. Adams is an internationally known expert in legal drafting. The award will be presented during the 2014 Biennial Conference of the Legal Writing Institute, June 29-July 2, 2014, in Philadelphia.
The LWI Awards Committee recommended Mr. Adams for the 2014 Golden Pen to recognize his exemplary work in contract drafting at a time when transactional law is increasingly important in the overall legal writing curriculum. The LWI Board unanimously approved this recommendation.
According to The Lawyers Weekly, "in the world of contract drafting, Ken Adams is the guru." The nomination submitted to the LWI Awards Committee echoed this assessment, stating that "Ken is the author of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, simply the best guide to contract language—ever." It went on to say that "[he] focuses on the language of contracts—not what you express in a given contract provision, but how to express it in modern and effective contract language. On that subject, he is without peer; no one else comes close."
Mr. Adams's blog is consistently listed in the ABA Journal's Blawg 100 (designated as the top 100 law-related blogs). He also has been recognized by the ABA Journal as one of the leading innovators in the legal profession. Mr. Adams practiced transactional law for more than 15 years and was a lecturer in law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School from 2006 to 2012, where he taught the school's first course on contract drafting. He currently provides seminars throughout the U.S., Canada, and internationally (see http://www.adamsdrafting.com).

Great value for money. The 2BR Apt was a good size for the 3 of us. It's a bit too far to walk into town but only about $7-8 in a taxi. We couldn't find anything near this price closer to town and would recommend staying a little bit out if you want to be comfortable at a good price. The staff were really nice and helpful. Would definitley stay again.

The lay out of the apartment is one of the best I have seen. Although its a short taxi ride from the main shops and CBD there are enough "corner shops " near by to get those little things. And a very large pub/hotel to get the odd counter meal if you don't feel like cooking. Only one problem and that is the complex is located right in the flight path of Cairns air port and depending on wind direction it can be anoying.Review by: Gary O'Gorman

My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.
Michael Jordan 2 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Goal – Become a habit by June 2013 3 years ago
This took me way too long to do. Had I appreciated my parents when I was younger, I doubt that I would've gone through all these hardships that I am and have gone through. Not that they were right on everything, but they were right on enough major things that it took me years to test and get wrong.
I'm now far too old to keep making mistakes due to being unwilling to learn from other people's mistakes.
Even when they say something that I don't like, I now take the time to listen and perhaps there is some validity in what they are saying. I've been doing a lot of reframing and changing my perspective. 3 years ago

Future Demand For Public Services, Driven By An Aging Population, Will Cost The Canadian Government An Additional $93 Billion(1) By 2025, According To New Accenture Report
The estimate of the annual efficiency savings required to close the expenditure gap by 2025 is defined as the difference between the growth rates of the demand-driven projection and of the current trajectory for public service delivery expenditure in the period 2010 to 2025.
The research also compared labour-productivity growth for the public- and private-services sectors in eight of the countries (where the information was publicly available). Labour productivity is defined as the value added contribution to an economy per given labour input (i.e. employment).

"From 1993-2004, the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children increased by 40 fold (Moreno, et al 2007)".
This phrase must have been repeated by now thousands of times, and the same tired conclusion is drawn: Childhood bipolar disorder is so overdiagnosed! See?
But we never hear the full story, the scientific truth. This is only half the story, like the advertising for laundry detergent that doesn't tell you what it doesn't clean.
What was the baseline rate of diagnosis of bipolar disorder in 1993? No one tells this part of the story. It is in the same paper, however, in a nice graph: It was basically nonexistent, as close to ZERO as you can get in this kind of research: 0.01%.
