JDR talked a little about Kayvon today, but it sounded like he really doesn't know what he has with that guy, or what he's gonna do with him. Kayvon is just a guy for now. JDR talked about Wolfe coming into the new season with an attitude to try to improve, not get lazy thinking he's all that, talked about Sylvester came in with a teach me and I'll learn attitude much like Wolfe did last season.
Said he views Wolfe as a DT, not a DE. How that's gonna play out with a crowded DT rotation I don't know.

I haven't changed a thing except I put up a Christmas tree and a string of lights outside. I live alone. What is going on? I guess nobody will investigate. They just blow it off and get to do what they want? Did the utilities commission okay a ten-fold rate hike? I can't afford this.

Relieve and manage your dry and pruritic skin conditions with Dermol
Dermol breaks the itch scratch vicious circle in two ways: The antimicrobials combat Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus colonisation levels are especially high in atopic skin), and consequently reduce the itchy inflammatory reaction to the bacterial superantigenic exotoxins.
The two emollients soothe and rehydrate dry skin, relieving the irritation caused by dryness and helping to restore a normal skin barrier function in conditions like eczema and dermatitis.
The Dermol range:
- Dermol 600 Bath – to be used in the bath water
- Dermol 200 Shower – to be used under the shower
- Dermol 500 Lotion – to be used on dry skin as a leave-on lotion or soap substitute
- Dermol Cream – to be used on very dry skin as a leave-on cream or soap substitute

BELLINGHAM – Western Washington University plans to test its building voice messaging system, one part of the campus emergency notification system known as Western Alert, at 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Western Alert is a group of ways to reach students, faculty and staff with important safety and emergency information.
The Western Alert element that will be tested on Aug. 26 is the voice messaging over the campus fire alarm system also known as building enunciation. A test voice message (building enunciation) will be repeated several times in campus buildings as well as over the outside speakers at the university tennis courts, the south campus oval at the Communications Facility, and at the Old Main lawn. Amber fire alarm strobes, where located, will flash.
There is no action required by building occupants or others on campus.
Other elements of the Western Alert system, including mass text messages and emails, and posting a message on the university homepage, will not be part of the Aug. 26 test, which is limited only to the building enunciation system.
For questions or to provide feedback on speaker clarity, please call or e-mail Sue Sullivan at (360) 650-6512 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I picked this because of its packaging. Very cute and I love yellow. It's moisturizing enough, and not sticky. I quite like it. But my boyfriend just hates it, he said the smell is artificial and he hates it on me. So....there you go. I probably would still repurchase as I just love the packaging!!
LOVE this lip balm - and the packaging just makes it even better. Not too heavy or sticky, and the taste is so yummy.
I like this a lot, especially the SPF and the yummy flavor! However, like others said, the packaging is not practical. I'll still buy it again though!

This is a really good buy for the price!! I love the rubbery surface and the way it clicks when it's all the way closed. It tastes good (always a plus), smells, good, and just feels good. Has a lip-glossy shine that makes it really nice and natural looking but still looking like you try to look good. (Trust me, I do!) The moisturizers do work and my lips are softer after I use this. It's nice for school, but my only problem is that the sphere shape is hard to fit into jeans. It looks kinda weird if you can fit it. Other than that, I would definitely get another and will be getting more of these.
To start, this stuff was a ***** to get! I had to get my mom to pick me up some when she was traveling in DC! (Canadian girl here.) She had to go to a bunch of CVS of Walgreens... she basically bought as many as she could get her hands on, since they're reasonably inexpensive. (Yet eos charges in the neighbourhood of $15 to shop to Canada... thanks a lot.) I got this and summer fruit. This is by far my favourite. Very pleasant consistency, gives my lips a nice shine. I keep it in my make-up bag on the bathroom counter. I couldn't handle losing it, so I carry summer fruit in my purse. I like the staying power, and the ball is pleasant to apply. I'm not sure if it'd moisturize amazingly well in a normal setting. I'm a chronic lap balm applier... I re-apply even if it's not needed. The smell and taste are sweet and lemony and perfect imo. Wish it was readily available in Canada. On the other hand, it should last awhile!

I love this one! I have several of the EOS balms and this is my favorite! Its fresh and delicious smelling and it has SPF, which is always a plus.
Highly recommend.
I think this is so raved about because of the packaging, and I agree! It's just fun! Who doesn't love chapstick in a ball? It can completely coat lips in one swipe. It's one of my favorites. It smells delicious and is very moisturizing. It really stays on my lips for a while and is quite thick.
I can't really say enough good things about this product. The main reason I switched from Burt's Bees Pomegranate chapstick is because it contains carmine, which is an insect-based product, and I'm so glad I made the switch. I'll give a condensed pro/con list.
the packaging is adorable and I love the yellow color
smells like the lemonade girl scout cookies
tastes delicious and sweet, but not overpowering like summer fruit (I found that after a while summer fruit turned salty on my lips. GROSS! lemon drop doesn't do that)
makes my lips a super nice healthy natural pink color
leaves them soft & moisturized
the sphere doesn't fit in jeans pockets, so it's kind of a drag to carry around
dries after a while, have to keep applying
a tad bit expensive... but worth it
I'd definitely buy this again!
I have to say, the Lemon one is the best! I have the pink one also, and i dont know why it's just not the same! The lemon one is just more creamy, moisturizing, smells better IMO, and lasts longer on the lips. I love the smell! so yummy!! and it also feels really nice, and tastes very good. However, i don't find this to be the best lip balm out there, it's not the most effective in making the lips less chaped because after a few hours your lips will be dry again..
but i love it none the less, its really cute :)
I love these EOS lip balms. I love the scent of this one also! It's my favorite! I wanted to buy another one the other day, since I just ran out a few weeks ago, but the only they had was the Melon one. I like that one too, but love the lemon scented one best!
I think besides it feeling and smelling good, people like it because of the packaging! I know I do!

Mandatory retention law down to 11th hour
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
by April 23rd, 2014 Posted in ,
Earlier this month, some 50,000 Oklahoma third-graders came head-to-head with high-stakes testing. These 8- and 9-year old children took the state standardized reading test known as the OCCT. Under revisions to the Reading Sufficiency Act passed in 2011, beginning this year, children who score 'unsatisfactory' on the OCCT and do not qualify for one of the law's 'good cause exemptions' must be retained in third grade next fall.
The high-stakes test has been causing high levels of stress for third-graders and their families all year. One young girl, who is on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, told her mom the night before the test, "'Mommy, I don't want to take the test. What if I get them all wrong? I always get them all wrong." Most students with special needs, including dyslexia and other learning disorders, can be exempted from mandatory retention only if they have already been retained once and have received two years of intensive reading remediation (those with severe cognitive disabilities may also be exempt). OK Policy has calculated that more than one-quarter of students on IEPs, or some 2,000 students, could be held back this year, even if they are making progress on their IEP goals. Students with limited English proficiency are also at high risk for being retained.
This session, Oklahoma legislators have launched an eleventh-hour attempt to modify the RSA before its mandatory retention provisions kick in. While many bills were never heard or died along the way, several significant bills are still alive. Among them, SB 1971 broadens the exemption to mandatory promotion for students on IEPs and, in its latest version, creates an appeals process for students who are subject to retention. SB 1348 adds an exemption for students enrolled in a language immersion program.
The most extensive changes to the Reading Sufficiency Act are contained in HB 2625 by Rep. Katie Henke and Sen. Gary Stanislawski. In its original version, HB 2625 would have turned the decision of whether to retain or promote any student who scored unsatisfactory on the third-grade reading test to a team composed of the student's parents, teacher, principal, and school reading specialist. Students could be promoted if the team decided it was "the best option for the student." Whether promoted or retained, students would continue to receive intensive reading instruction.
HB 2625 passed the House by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 84-6, with even the House authors of mandatory retention voting in favor. Senate Republicans, however, were unwilling to let the bill through in a way that was seen as gutting the original intent of the 2011 revisions. They proposed changes in committee and on the Senate floor. Under the most recent version of the bill, which passed the full Senate on April 16th:
- Students who have demonstrated reading proficiency at the beginning of third grade will be notified prior to the start of standardized testing that they have satisfied RSA requirements and will not be subject to retention.
- Students who are assessed as below proficient will be defined as having a 'significant reading deficiency'. Those who receive a score of 'limited knowledge' on the OCCT may be automatically promoted to fourth grade but their parents will be notified that they are not reading at grade level and they will be entitled to intensive remediation services.
- For the 2013-14 and 2014-15 schools years only, students who: (a) are determined to have a 'significant reading deficiency', (b) score below' limited knowledge' on the OCCT (i.e. score 'unsatisfactory'), and (c) do not qualify for one of the existing good cause exemptions, may be granted 'probationary promotion' to fourth grade if that is the unanimous recommendation of a Student Reading Proficiency Team composed of the child's parents, school principal, third-grade reading teacher, a higher-grade teacher and a certified reading specialist. The decision to grant a probationary promotion must be affirmed by the district superintendent. Students under a probationary promotion would receive intensive remediation and would be reviewed annually by the team until the student demonstrates grade-level proficiency. The 'probationary probation option' would expire in 2015-16.
While the Senate version of HB 2625 leaves the ultimate decision on retention or promotion to a team, there are certain to be objections to Sen. Jolley's proposal. The bill would seem to require or offer additional remediation services for many more students in third grade and beyond, even as the RSA continues to be badly underfunded. The "probationary" label may not be seen as appropriate for fourth-graders by parents or educators and may add to stigmatization of children with poor reading skills. The requirement that 'probationary promotion' be decided unanimously may also cause problems when one or more team members is in disagreement.
HB 2625 will now return to the House, which can either accept the Senate's version or send the bill to conference committee, where it may not get decided until close to the adjournment of the legislative session on May 30th. The bill does contain an emergency clause, which means if it passes by a sufficient majority, its provisions would take immediate effect. However, there is only a narrow window between when schools are expected to get students test results (May 9th) and the end of the school year. Making sense of the new law and determining which students will be promoted to fourth grade and which will be held back will ensure that this is going to be an especially long, sweat-filled summer for many Oklahoma families.

I had that problem with my 95 Regal GS...for me, it was the ignition control module, which was a really easy repair. Did it myself in about 20 minutes with very little prior car experience. Not sure how close the cars are, but no special tools were required. All I used was a socket wrench, took the coils off, popped the new part in and reattached the coils. Also, disconnect the battery just in case.

Lofa Tatupu re-emerges as Seahawks' leader
Linebacker Lofa Tatupu is back leading the way for the Seahawks' defense after enduring a season-ending injury and his father's death last year.
Seattle Times staff columnist
RENTON — Excuse Lofa Tatupu if he sounds a little too Disney for a middle linebacker. He's just telling you how he feels.
It's December, and he's on the football field, and the Seahawks are in the mix for a playoff berth. His professional life is right again, and off the field, he can't stop grinning and anticipating the birth of his first child — a boy — due in February. His words are stuffed with optimism.
"It's everything you dream of," Tatupu says. "Not to sound cliché, but it is. It's magical. In the NFL, when you're in the hunt this time of year, every little thing matters — every practice, every game, every day. It's football at its most intense. I love it.
"I know it hasn't looked pretty for us this year. But, really, it doesn't matter. We're right there."
There's no better spokesman for the Seahawks' rise from dreadful to hopeful than Tatupu. Not coincidentally, his injury woes the past two seasons mirrored the team's descent to last place. Likewise, his improved health this season reflects the progress the 6-6 Seahawks have made in coach Pete Carroll's first season.
While it's a stretch to declare that Tatupu is back to his 2007 form, when he was the best middle linebacker in the NFC, he has enjoyed a solid comeback season after missing 11 games in 2009, mostly because of a torn left pectoral muscle. His finest moment of the year came Sunday. Tatupu's touchdown on a 26-yard interception return was the biggest play in the Seahawks' 31-14 come-from-behind victory over Carolina.
But one sterling play doesn't speak to all that Tatupu has accomplished in 2010. Of more significance is that he's still on the field, playing through aches, leading the defense and helping keep the locker room united. Tatupu has always been more steady than dazzling, the ultimate player of substance.
Just being there — in the right place, always — is what Tatupu does best. So he looks back on last season as a nightmare because an injury put him in the wrong place.
"Depressing is the word I'd like to use," Tatupu says when asked about 2009. "Believe me, I understand the significance of the meaning of that word. I've had family members, people close to me, diagnosed with depression. So in no way am I making light of that word or using it for effect. I was depressed.
"I felt like I had been stripped of everything. I was lost. Time stands still. I was heartbroken. It's like losing your love. What I went through, all of those feelings that came from not being able to help my team, I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy."
Before last season, Tatupu had missed only one game in his first four NFL seasons. So the torn pectoral muscle last year was a big deal. But Tatupu has a philosophy: "If you can run, you can play." So he didn't understand why the doctors wouldn't clear him.
"I just didn't get it," Tatupu said. "Leroy Hill had a groin injury last year and missed six-to-eight weeks, and I was like, 'Leroy has a problem with his groin, and he can get cleared, but I can't get cleared?' They told me that, if I want to be worth anything later in my career, I ought to opt for the surgery."
Tatupu couldn't stand watching the Seahawks play without him, but he used the time away to his advantage. He studied offense and tendencies of offensive coordinators to become an even smarter player. He has improved his eating habits and learned to rest his body better. He followed the example of old teammates such as Patrick Kerney and realized that, even though he's only 28, he needed to start working to extend his career.
In February, Tatupu's father, Mosi, who was a 15-year NFL player, died. This has been the most trying year of Lofa's NFL career, but despite the physical and emotional pain, he is back, in the right place, once more. Carroll, who coached Tatupu at USC, is reunited with the linebacker.
Tatupu is on pace for 83 tackles, the fewest of any full season that he has played, but his impact is greater than numbers.
His knowledge of the defense has been a big help to the Seahawks this season as they've shuffled their defensive line because of injuries.
"I think he's done everything that we've asked him to do," Carroll said. "I think he's hung in there tough. He's helped the young guys — the changes and the transitions that we've been through — as best he could."
Fresh from a long visit to the trainer's room, Tatupu smiles. Yes, he says, he has some aches, but what NFL player doesn't? He's fine. He's healthy enough. And as the Seahawks make their playoff push, he emphasizes one thing.
"The only thing better than playing in December," he says, "is playing in January. This is fun. This is why we play."
And this is why you should be thrilled No. 51 is back.

Rabbi David Ellenson, President of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, will award Rabbi Marc S. Blumenthal with the Doctor of Divinity at Graduation Ceremonies in Los Angeles on Monday, May 16, 2011 at 3:00 pm at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Jack H. Skirball Campus. Blumenthal will be honored for 25 years of scholarly distinction as an alumnus of HUC-JIR.
Rabbi Marc S. Blumenthal earned his B.A. in History and Religion from Trinity College in Hartford, CT, and his MAHL from HUC-JIR/New York.
From 1997 through 2002, Blumenthal served as Rabbi at Congregation Ami Shalom in West Covina, CA. Previously, he served as Rabbi at Beth Chayim Chadashim in Los Angeles, CA, and Assistant Rabbi at Temple Beth El in Birmingham, MI.
Blumenthal was Coordinator of Chaplaincy Services for the Board of Rabbis of Southern California. He served as Denver Community Chaplain and Director of Chaplaincy Services at Rose Medical Center and Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Rabbinical Council in Denver, CO.
Throughout the years, Blumenthal has held extended High Holy Day pulpits in Durango, CO; Downey, CA; Billings, MT; Berlin, Germany; and at the Keflavik (Ryekjavik) Naval Air Station in Iceland.
Blumenthal explains that the most important, and perhaps most fulfilling, aspects of his rabbinate has been the opportunity to be with people at some of the most significant moments of their lives and to make a positive and Jewish contribution to those moments. He writes, "Sometimes, those occasions are obvious: b'nai mitzvah, weddings, funerals, etc. At other times, those moments have passed almost unnoticed by me until years later, I run into the husband of a dying patient at Calvary who recalls to me word for word what I said to him and his family at his wife's deathbed. Or I receive a note from a former bat mitzvah student about to be ordained as a rabbi telling me that she never would have become a rabbi had it not been for my presence years earlier as one of her teachers in a congregation roiled by discord and opposing factions."

The Computer Clock Loses Time (Windows Vista)
This document applies to HP and Compaq desktop computers using Windows Vista.
If the time displayed in Windows does not match the current time, or if the time in Windows has to be reset often, use the steps in this document to troubleshoot these time-related issues.
Step 1: Disabling or enabling Internet time
If Internet time is set and you are connected to the Internet, the computer connects to an Internet time server and synchronizes the time to the time on the server. Internet time can provide an accurate method of keeping time and is normally recommended. However, in some cases, Internet time may actually cause problems. Use the following steps to disable or enable the Internet time setting depending on what is currently selected.
- Click Start , click Control Panel, click Clock, click Language, click Region, and then click Date and Time.
- Click the Date and Time tab.
- Click Change time zone. Make sure the correct time zone is selected. Place a checkmark next to Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time if it is not already selected, and then click OK.
- Click the Internet Time tab, and then click Change settings.
- If it is not already selected, select Synchronize with an Internet time server.Make sure the computer is connected to the Internet and click Update Now.The computer connects to an Internet server and updates the time on the computer. Click OK and try using the computer for a few days. If time continues to be lost and causes problems, continue using the rest of the steps in this document.NOTE:If the computer fails to receive an update from the selected Internet time server, a message opens stating that an error has occurred. Select a different server and try again. If the computer fails to receive an update, Click OK and continue with rest of the steps in this document.
Step 2: Updating the BIOS
If your computer has a BIOS update available, the update may fix time-related problems . To find out if a BIOS update is available for your computer, refer to the HP support document Updating the BIOS .
If the clock continues to lose time and causes problems after updating the BIOS, or you cannot update the BIOS, continue to the next step.
Step 3: Removing and reinstalling Realtime clock
Remove and reinstall Realtime clock by starting the system in Safe mode. Use the following steps to perform this task:
- Turn on the computer and immediately begin pressing the F8 key repeatedly until a Windows Start-up Menu appears.
- Select Safe Mode and then press the Enter key.
- Click Start , and then click Control Panel.
- Click System and Maintenance, and click System.
- Under Tasks, click Device Manager.
- Click the Plus Sign (+) next to System devices.
- Right-click System CMOS/real time clock, click Uninstall, and then click OK.
- When the System Settings Change window appears, click Yes to restart the computer. The real-time clock reinstalls automatically.
Step 4: Replacing the CMOS battery
Desktop computers contain a battery to keep time in the same manner as a watch keeps time. Like a watch, the battery should be replaced when it runs low on power. Replace the battery using the following steps:
WARNING:The edges of metal panels can cut skin. Be careful not to slide skin along any interior metal edge of the computer.
CAUTION:This product contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). To reduce the chance of ESD damage, work over a noncarpeted floor, use a static dissipative work surface (such as a conductive foam pad), and wear an ESD wrist strap connected to a grounded surface.
NOTE:The instructions for removing and replacing the CMOS battery, or for clearing the CMOS, vary depending on the model of the computer. For instructions specific to your model, see the Motherboard Specifications document in the Product Information section of this site.
- Unplug all cables except for the power cable. Write down each cable location to help you remember.
- Unplug the power cable and with the power cable disconnected press the Power button on the front of the computer.
- Loosen or remove the screws on the rear of the computer.
- Slide the side panel off from the rear of the computer.
- Locate the battery. It is a small shiny round metal wafer (like a larger version of a watch battery).
- Remember which direction the battery is installed. Usually the engraved side, the positive side, is face up. Remove the battery from the system board.
- Call a local computer supply store to see if a replacement battery is available. Use the inscriptions on the battery to describe the battery.
- Acquire the battery and replace it in the same socket it was removed from. Make sure the new battery is installed in exactly the same orientation as the previous battery.
- Replace the side panel.
- Insert the side panel.
- Slide it forward.
- Fasten the screws to secure the side panel.
- Connect all cables and turn on the computer to set the time.

Prude Wife.
My wife Lynn is basically a prude. That being said, she also likes to please me and I do the same for her. Last night we had decided to go bowling and she let me pick out her clothes. Her only rule was that her **** and ***** had to be covered. Since I am a boob man, I was a little disappointed but figured I'd make the best of it.
I guess I should at this point tell you my wife wears a 36D bra and has nipples that extend out a half inch when she is aroused.
First I picked out a wrap denim skirt that was about two inches above her knees. My wife doesn't like thongs so for panties, I chose a lace pantie that I had recently purchased for her from Adam & Eve shops. It was open crotch so her shaving ***** was subject to being exposed if her skirt lifted up. Next, I chose a ultra sheer red bra with a clasp in the front that was adjustable. Depending upon the three positions on the clasp, her nipples were uncovered. For a blouse, I chose a thin beige fitted shirt that buttoned up the front. It was very low cut and the buttons only came as high as her bra so her cleavage was available for all to enjoy. On top of that, I added a vest that was too tight for her to button. It covered her **** but if she moved, anyone close by would have a pretty good view.
Before leaving the house, I enacted Jamaica Rules. For those of you that don't know what those are, it is very simple. Every time my wife went to the bathroom, she would have to undue a button on her blouse, remove her bra or something else that would expose her **** more. Lynn enacted home rules. Home rules says that if I go to the bathroom, she gets to button or put something on to cover up her ****. I decided it was time to create a new rule for bowling allies. I told her that if any action taken under home rules had to be done right there in public - no hiding.
As we were leaving the house, Lynn told me to back the car out of the garage while she used the bathroom one last time. As soon as she fastened her seat belt, I reached up, unfastened a button and reached in and felt her breast. As I eased her nipple above her bra I winked and said "Jamaica rules". I had her and she knew it. Her blouse was now unbuttoned below her bra and the red material was clearly in view. Her nipples were covered, but it was still awesome to see her bra.
Our first stop was McDonald's drive through for a quick bite to eat. Lynn was a little uncomfortable but rules were rules. At the drive through, we first had to pay this cute little chick at the first window and then pull up to the second window. The cute little chick saw my wife's red bra and gave me a little smile. At the second window, the attendant was a guy in his mid 50's and his eyes were glued on Lynn's chest as he passed me the food. I handed it to Lynn and in so doing pushed the vest out of the way so he could get a good look at her **** through the sheer material of her blouse and bra. Lynn was focused on the food and hadn't noticed that I had done that. I looked at the attendant and his eyes were still glued on Lynn's chest. I wanted to give him a little thrill to think on the rest of his shift so I reached over and slid my hand inside Lynn's blouse and fondled her breast. She slapped my hand gently and told me I was so bad. As I withdrew my hand, I lifted her blouse away from her chest so that the attendant could see her red see-through bra without the blouse covering it. Her nipple was totally hard and visible. The attendant told the meal was free and to come back anytime. I thanked him and we were on our way.
At the bowling ally, my wife excused herself to go to the ladies room while I got us a lane and a couple beers. On her return, I noticed she had removed her vest to comply with Jamaica rules. Man she looked hot. The red of her bra showed through her blouse and her nips were hard as rocks. Her blouse was still unbuttoned below her bra and with each move, her blouse would fall away from her chest and give a magnificent view of her bra encased ****.
The two guys playing in the ally next to ours really got an eyeful and commented to me about how lovely my date was. When my wife went up to bowl, I told them about Jamaica rules and within seconds, they had bought my wife several more beers to drink. When she saw them, she turned to the guys and said, "I know what you guys are trying to do." We all had a good laugh and introductions were made. their names were Joe and Steve. My wife quickly guzzled down two beers and they were beginning to have the effect I was praying for. She was getting into the mood of things and her prude nature was over for the night. Every time it was her turn to bowl she made sure she bend over in their direction and let them see her bra. Joe and Steve finished their game, they asked if they could join us since they had to vacate their lane. Lynn welcomed them before I could say anything.
After her third beer, she was on the way to the ladies room again. I too had to go so we headed for the rest rooms together. After I peed, I waited for her to come out of the ladies room. On her exit, I noticed she hadn't unbuttoned or removed anything so I challenged her on it. She tried to say it was a free trip but I told her no. While she was permitted to unbutton in private, she had to button in public so this was going to cost her. Lynn relented and unfastened another button. After doing so, she reached into her pocket book and pulled out her panties and handed them to me. She said she wanted to give me a thrill by giving me these.
At our ally, I place her panties on the table next to our beers and took my turn bowling. The guys were beside themselves. With her panties on the table and her blouse pretty much totally undone they were all eyes on Lynn. Joe complimented Lynn on how good she looked. Lynn, now in a playful mood, lifted her blouse and asked Joe if he liked this look better. Joe's tongue hit the floor as he drank in her bra and noted how sheer it was. I had been sitting between Joe and Steve but it was my turn to bowl so when I got up, Lynn took my place.
After my turn, as I returned to the table to write my score, I noticed that Lynn had Joe's hand in hers and was pressing it to her breast as she was telling hims something. As I came into hearing range, I could tell she was telling him the "Little Red Riding Hood" joke. You know the one, it goes like: "...Little red riding hood was walking through the forest when the big bad wolf came out and said she should ***** off her clothes so he could **** her. Little Red Riding Hood told the big bad wolf that her had to eat her just as the nursery rhyme said." As we all listened, Joe's fingers were flicking Lynn's nipple. I loved it and winked my approval to Joe. Steve picked up on my wink and reached over and unfastened the last button on Lynn's blouse. As he pulled her blouse off her chest, her sexy bra covered breasts jiggles slightly and her nipples grew to their full length. Joe contined to flick her nipple through her bra as Steve and I looked on. Lynn had a glazed look on her face and seemed to be right on the edge of an ******. I glanced at Steve and gave him the go-ahead to touch Lynn's other breast. He cupped her bra covered breast and moved his fingers to her nipple to give it a tweak. I wanted to join in so I slid my hand up under Lynn's skirt seeking out her *****. It was drenched. Lynn's hands went to both Steve's and Joe's package...
I suggested we go back to our place to finish our conversation. Joe and Steve readily agreed. Lynn said as long as someone makes her *** she didn't care where we went. I reached up and unfastened her bra (front closures are great) and then pulled her blouse over her ****. Jamaican rules forbid her from fastening any buttons so as we walked out of the bowling ally, the other guys there were treated to a magnificent sight of my wife's breasts as they swayed into view with her every step.
What happened next is much hotter than is appropriate for this board but it was certainly a night to remember. My **** is getting hard just thinking about the fun time we had.
man that never happens at my bowling alleys. Sure wish it did. you have caused me to get a big stiff just thinking about that. Lucky guys.
pls do share what happened next.... we are waiting to hear it....
Great story. Please finish the evening, even if under a different topic.
What a fantastic outing. Wish I could have seen it. I love my wife to show off in public, but she has never done anything as sexy as what you've just described. Great!!!
Tell me; Where and when do you two bowl.................?
so a "prude" ends up ******* 3 guys?? i

RAF veteran Duncan Slater made a return visit to a north Suffolk school today to give youngsters a taste of what it was like to take part in the charity expedition to the South Pole with Prince Harry.
Sergeant Duncan Slater, 34, from Scole, took part in the Walking With The Wounded trek in December and was a guest at the Old School, Henstead, near Beccles.
Last year Mr Slater, who lost both his legs in a bomb blast in 2009, gave a talk to children at the school.
This was followed in the summer of 2013 when children and staff from the school took part in their own sponsored walk from the school to the Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club in Lowestoft, and raised nearly £3,000 for the charity.
Mr Slater said: "I really enjoyed talking to the youngsters as they were so interested and asked some great questions.
"Children are so honest and wanted to know things like how I put my pyjamas on. It is so refreshing to talk to children like this," he said.
The school's headmaster, Joe McKinney, said he was delighted to welcome Duncan back to the school.
"Duncan is so inspiring. He joined us in our own sponsored walk last year and promised to tell pupils about his adventures in the South Pole.
"As a school we value adventure and Duncan is a splendid example for our pupils," he said.
The timing of Duncan's visit to the school could hardly have been better.
"Harry's South Pole Heroes" was broadcast on ITV on Sunday and the second part of this gripping documentary is to be broadcast this Sunday, March 23.

College can be a difficult transition for many students. To help address students' academic needs, many community colleges have started support services programs. Learn about some of these common programs and how they can help you be successful in school.
Many common myths about community colleges exist, but as they continue to diversify and offer cutting-edge programming, two-year institutions are fighting back against these long-held stereotypes.
The Online Education Initiative will greatly expand course offerings for community college students, while making the transfer process between institutions much more smooth. The Initiative has its critics, however, who decry the loss of local control over education.

GIMP now (finally) available as a native Mac app
This is something that's been a long time coming, and it's finally here. GIMP is an excellent Photoshop-esque open source photo editor. While it's been available on Mac for a long time, it has required the X11 Window environment, which itself needs a separate (and somewhat messy) installation. For a long time, the programmers working on GIMP have been promising to eventually take it native, but it hasn't happened until just recently. As of version 2.8.2, you can now simply go grab the GIMP .dmg file from the main website, and then install and run on your Mac as needed.
That's good news for those of us who appreciate a powerful photo editor like this but don't necessarily have the cash for big-name apps like Photoshop or Pixelmator. Congrats to everyone who's worked on GIMP in the past. If you like the app and want to support great open sourced work, they could probably use a donation or two.

|Sun, 10-28-2012 - 3:29am
It is 3 years today since we lost our first little one, possibly the saddest day of my life, but we are currently lookin forward to one of the happiest as we prepare for the arrival of our little girl in around 11 weeks. If we hadn't lost our first little one then we wouldn't have had DS and now DD so we are very fortunate
|Sun, 10-28-2012 - 8:22pm
praying for you during your time of grief... its so good that you can look at the bright side and the blessings in life. Losses give you a sense of clarity about what is truely a blessing.
|Wed, 10-31-2012 - 8:44am
I think tryingtobehopeful said it very, very well. Losses give us perspective. It's so painful to go through though. I am so happy for with regards to your beautiful son and your beautiful little girl (can't wait to see pics of her!!). I was so bummed because our 1st anniversary was on Friday and we completely forgot to even acknowledge it...it somehow felt disloyal to that baby. We have had a lot on our minds, granted, but I still feel bad for that little one. Is that terrible? What do the rest of you do to acknowledge the loss? Do you have any sort of ritual or ceremony? Or just talk about the loss together?

Ok a bit of background info.
Our LA has recently moved to an ISA 2006 box from 2000. At the same time they ditched surfcontrol and have implemented Websense.
As the schools have a silly UID&Pass to authenticate to the ISA box for authentication I wanted to use one of my servers as a transparent proxy to authenticate for all my users. I used to use Python (ntlmapps) but it doesnt like the new isa box.
So I started playing with Squid 2.5 (For windows)
Installed this on one of my Server 2003 box's , configured it and away to go..... or so I thought.
I wandered into one of my IT suites today to find a group of Year 4 kids on Youtube, on closer inspection (good job they hadn't noticed) the internet was totally unfiltered :eek::eek:
My 1st call was to county to ask if Websense had fallen over etc but nope it was local to my school. It seems that if I point a Browser directly at the ISA server and give the correct credentials when prompted I can get on the internet fine and Youtube/pron etc is all blocked.
Websense Filtered content
If I configure squid (with the same credentials) set it running and then point my browser to squid, it works as a transparent proxy but also manages to bypass the whole filtering system.
Squid instance
Unfiltered content
On the ISA server logs you can see it making the "handshake" and agreeing that the Username/credentials are correct and looks like its working,but then decides not to filter any content.
Obviously I have turned off Squid and am not going back, but I would love to know how squid is being so clever at getting around the filtering. Its a massive security hole as is.
Any Squid masters out there got any advice/info ?

Pakistan: 3% of drone deaths civilians
ISLAMABAD — The Pakistani government said Wednesday that 3 percent of 2,227 people killed in U.S. drone strikes since 2008 were civilians, a surprisingly low figure that sparked criticism from groups that have investigated death tolls from the attacks.
The number, which was provided by the Ministry of Defense to the Senate, is much lower than past government calculations and estimates by independent organizations that have gone as high as 300. The ministry said 317 drone strikes have killed 2,160 Islamic militants and 67 civilians since 2008.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) is a non-profit education corporation recognized by both the United States Secretary of Education and Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) as an independent and autonomous national accrediting body that accredits institutions of higher education offering programs of study through the master's degree level. ACICS is incorporated in Virginia and operates from offices in Washington, D.C.
The scope of ACICS recognition by the Department of Education and CHEA is defined as accreditation of private post secondary institutions offering nondegree programs or associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees in programs that are "designed to train and educate persons for professional, technical, or occupational careers."[1][2]
As an accreditor for many for-profit colleges, ACICS provided information during U.S. Congressional investigations of for-profit education in 2010. ACICS reported that the institutions it accredits are required to demonstrate a student retention rate of at least 75 percent. [3] Retention rates are calculated within a single academic year. [4]

The graphics are rough around the edges, they are not rendered. The sounds are tinny and the actors voices sound like they are from a cheap satellite station. Opponents movements, gunfire and all round movement cannot be heard at all, even if Ninja Pro is not used. Online play is not smooth at all, im really upset after all the hype and waiting 2 yrs in development.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- More accidents along Interstate 481. No one seriously hurt, but one car got banged up.
Experts have some advice for people on the roads in the snow. Troopers say if you get involved in an accident because of bad weather, keep calm. Pull over to the side of the road, put your four ways on and stay in your car until help arrives.
Drivers we spoke with say they used caution to make it through this weekend's snowfall.
"Drive slowly, that's pretty much it. Took us quite a while to get up here and it'll take us quite a while to get to Ithaca now. The plows seem to be out now and I stay vigilant. People seem to be driving pretty reasonably, so all in all, it should be all right," New York City resident James Sanders said.
Police also remind drivers to take steps like brushing all the snow off car windows and checking your lights and windshield wipers to prevent trouble on the road.

We get many questions from people in northern latitudes about if and when they can view the Southern Cross in their portion of the sky. The truth is that, unless you live close to the tropics (Hawaii, or the southernmost parts of Texas or Florida for those of us in the U.S.), you will not be able to view the Southern Cross, also known as the constellation Crux.
Take heart. We in the northern half of the globe have a less renowned, but a larger Northern Cross asterism our skies. The star Deneb identifies the top of the Northern Cross, and the star Albireo marks the bottom. The Northern Cross is a clipped version of the constellation Cygnus the Swan. Tonight you can find this constellation low in the north-northwest sky at mid-evening.
As an added bonus, if you have a pair of binoculars, break them out this evening and point them at this constellation. Around the Swan is a part of our Milky Way galaxy that is called the Cygnus Star Cloud. It is part of the spiral arm of our galaxy that also contains our sun, and you should be able to pick out stars from it if it is a clear night in your area!

Philadelphia calls Madame Saito the Queen of Sushi, and it's easy to see why. Armed with formal culinary training from Le Cordon Bleu and the Ritz Escoffier in Paris and experience from apprenticeships under premier Tokyo sushi chefs, she has committed the last 26 years to spreading her love for Japanese culture and contemporary fusion cuisine. Although she leaves time in her schedule to manage Tokio Sushi Bar—her sushi restaurant with French culinary influences—, The HeadHouse Cafe, and to conduct an annual sushi-making competition, Madame Saito counts education as one of her highest priorities. She regularly commits her quadrilingual tongue to demystifying the art of sushi during classes for aspiring chefs and casual students alike, teaching them how to hand roll maki and slice fish into perfectly uniform dodecahedrons.
