John A. Boehner (bay-ner) serves as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Elected to represent the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio for a 12th term in November 2012, John is a national leader in the drive for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable federal government.
The second oldest of 12 brothers and sisters, John has lived in southwest Ohio his entire life. He grew up mopping floors and waiting tables at his family tavern, Andy's Cafe, and played football for legendary coach Gerry Faust at Cincinnati's Moeller High School where he graduated in 1968.
After high school, John worked several jobs to pay his way through Xavier University. While working as a night janitor he met Debbie - now his wife of 39 years - and in 1977 earned his bachelor's degree in business. John and Debbie raised two daughters, Lindsay and Tricia, in the northern Cincinnati suburb of West Chester where they still live today.
John's first run for public office was for a spot on his neighborhood homeowners association, followed by a seat on his township board of trustees. He was elected to the Ohio General Assembly in 1984 where he served until the voters of southwest Ohio sent him to Congress.
Elected to Congress in 1990, John quickly became a voice for reform. First, he adopted a "no earmarks" policy that he carries with him to this day. And as part of the "Gang of Seven," he and fellow lawmakers took on the House establishment – Democrats and Republicans. Together, they successfully closed the scandal-riddled House Bank, uncovered "dine-and-dash" practices at the House Restaurant, and exposed drug sales and cozy cash-for-stamps deals at the House Post Office.
After Republicans won their first Congressional majority in several decades, John's colleagues elected him to serve as House GOP Conference Chairman in the 104th and 105th Congress. In that role, John was a powerful voice in the fight to force Washington to stick to the strict spending limits in the Balanced Budget Act that let the economy grow and led to the first budget surplus in a generation.
As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, John authored the Freedom to Farm Act, legislation reforming the Soviet-style farm subsidy programs that punish farmers and taxpayers alike. And in 1999, as Vice-Chairman of the House Administration Committee, John joined House leaders to announce the first-ever "clean" independent audit of the House, a reform he first called for as a member of the Gang of Seven in 1992.
From 2001 to 2006, John served as chairman of the House Committee on Education & the Workforce. There he co-wrote the bill establishing the first private school choice program in the District of Columbia, and worked with other reformers to ensure parental choice provisions were included in the bipartisan No Child Left Behind Act to reinforce its goal of bringing greater accountability to taxpayer-funded education programs.
In 2006, John was elected by his colleagues to serve as House Majority Leader. On his watch, the House passed the first budget that held the line on spending in several years and adopted the first-ever reforms making the earmark process open and accountable. In 2007, John began his tenure as House Republican Leader. In that role, he united Republicans against job-destroying bills like ObamaCare and the Democrats' "cap and trade" national energy tax that were passed over the objections of the American people. And he helped ensure that our troops in harm's way continued to receive the funding and resources they needed to succeed.
On November 17, 2010 – his 61st birthday – Boehner was elected by his colleagues to serve as Speaker-designate, and on January 5, 2011 he swore in the 112th Congress as the 53rd Speaker of the House. John was re-elected by the House on January 3, 2013 to serve a second term as Speaker for the 113th Congress.
Under his leadership, the House majority has worked to make the legislative process more open and to ensure the priorities of the American people are reflected in the priorities of lawmakers. John led the drive for an aggressive set of reforms that require bills to be posted online at least three days before a vote, make it easier to cut spending, require legislation to cite its authority in the Constitution, and more.
John also led House Republicans in adopting the first ban on "earmarks" -- the secretive, pork-barrel spending he has opposed since his first days in Congress. Today, Speaker Boehner is focused on removing government barriers to private-sector job creation and economic growth, cutting government spending, reforming Congress, and rebuilding the bonds of trust between the American people and their representatives in Washington.

Would TPT do you use with this ROM? My wife has the FnC but struggles with not enough space on standard TPT. I tried for her CM9 but she didn't like it (to many FC supposedly and slower) I am looking to use CM7 but not to sure whether to keep stock TPT or change it. It is all the bloody FB which is sooo big now.
please let me know your views.
Technically it could according one person I asked who's knowledgeable in this stuff, but it's way too much work even for many devs and not worth it, as Crescent isn't very popular nor are there many (if any except Chinese knockoffs) armv6 phones with front cams, to dedicate that much time.
Sure it can't be used for that..... Ever!

Through what?
Yup, FaceTime between iOS devices and Skype mainly for everything else, quality is good too so gets the job done well without many recharges in between too.
My mate was telling me the same. Facetime or somesuch
You got an app that works? Post up! The ones I checked last when with stock and debranded didn't work so never bothered after that.

The teppanyaki experience at Unkai
June 5th, 2012
The word teppanyaki is derived from teppan, which means iron plate, and yaki, which means grilled, broiled or pan-fried. At Restaurant Unkai on the 7th floor of the Grand Hotel Wien these two Japanese words combined create a one of a kind culinary experience.
In addition to delicious Japanese specialties a seat at one of the teppanyaki tables at Unkai guarantees an almost acrobatic cooking show with fire, diverse ingredients, smells and colors. Book a seat at one of the tables and enjoy watching the teppanyaki chefs performing their art before you enjoy tasting it.
Our team will be happy to provide further information or reserve your table at +43 (1) 515 80-9110 or firstname.lastname@example.com. The teppanyaki menu can be viewed at www.unkai.at.

Nigerian Forces Take Out 32 Militants
By Harold Hutchison
Nigerian forces have killed nearly three dozen militants tied to the terrorist group Boko Haram in two separate attacks. Three Nigerian policemen were killed, but 32 members of the terrorist group were killed.
Boko Haram has been responsible for a number of attacks in the northern part of Nigeria since 2009 that have killed thousands. A recent surge in attacks by the group lead Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan to order additional troops into the region in May.
Last week, 42 members of the terrorist group were captured by Nigerian authorities.

Feministing blogger Zerlina Maxwell is a survivor of rape. Last week, Maxwell appeared with Sean Hannity on Fox News and what she said on the show generated some racist, misogynist comments and both rape threats and death threats. Her "controversial" comment? She said, "I think we should be telling men not to rape women and start the conversation there with prevention."
That's not OK to say, apparently: it poked the hornet's nest of our society's long held, deeply flawed ideas about rape as well as squeamish attitudes when it comes to discussing it.
Zerlina Maxwell, we at The Frisky stand with you. Men should be taught not to rape. Here are three misconceptions about rape that she schooled Sean Hannity and his viewers on in the exchange: Keep reading »

A poetic town of timber framed buildings and a history dating back to 690AD, Ledbury has a lot to fall in love with. It was the birthplace of the poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and John Masefield and provided inspiration for William Wordsworth when he wrote the lilting sonnet 'St. Catherine of Ledbury'. By taking a quick wander around the town, it is easy to see why they were so inspired.
Ledbury is filled with beautiful black and white timber framed buildings, especially along Church Lane and Ledbury High Street. One of the most striking buildings of this kind is situated in the heart of the town, Market House, built in 1617. The parish church of St. Michael and All Angels is picturesque and gives an insight into some of the town's rich history. Stunning and beautifully preserved sixteenth century frescoes can be viewed in 'the Painted Room', St. Katherine's Hospital provides a rare look at a thirteenth century hospital complex of almshouses, chapel and hall, and nearby Grade I listed Eastnor Castle is a striking example of a 19th century 'mock castle'.
As well as historic buildings and famous residents, Ledbury has plenty to keep visitors occupied. With an annual poetry festival and well known music festival, 'The Big Chill', held at Eastnor Castle and the bustling Market Theatre in the centre of town, making Ledbury a contemporary cultural centre.
No trip to Ledbury would be complete without a visit to Sapey Brook and the Hoar Stone, where you can discover the tale of St. Catherine of Ledbury and the thief who is said to have been turned to stone for his crimes.
Set against a backdrop of beautiful countryside just waiting to be explored, Ledbury has poetry, history, culture and simple beauty in abundance and is the perfect place for an inspiring escape. Start planning your break and search for cottages in Ledbury today.

Tales of Innocence (テイルズオブイノセンス Teiruzu Obu Inosensu?) is the ninth mothership title in the Tales series[1] for the Nintendo DS. The game was developed by Alfa System, and was released on December 6, 2007 in Japan.[2] Tales of Innocence's characteristic genre name is RPG To Tie Thoughts Together (想いを繋ぐRPG Omoi o tsunagu RPG?). The game has not been officially released outside of Japan, although there exists a full fan translation for the title.[3] It is displayed in full 3D[2] and features the Dimension Stride Linear Motion Battle System, which contains elements of Tales of the Abyss's Flex Range Linear Motion Battle System and Tales of Destiny (PS2)'s Aerial Linear Motion Battle System.
A remake titled Tales of Innocence R was released for the PlayStation Vita on January 26, 2012. It contains various upgrades such as a complete overhaul in graphics, a new opening and ending song, two new playable characters, new gameplay elements, redone scenarios and areas, as well as numerous new anime cutscenes.
Tales of Innocence uses the "Dimension Stride Linear Motion Battle System" (DS-LMBS). Combining the battle systems of Tales of the Abyss and the PS2 port of Tales of Destiny, it allows players to move around the field in full 3D movement and use attacks and skills in mid-air.
Tales of Innocence includes many classic trademarks of the series, such as Gald, GRADE, Hi-Ougi, and items, and many new changes, such as Gald and items being picked up from the ground after an enemy is defeated, and a lettered score depending on performance in battle. The game also significantly changes the AI system. Instead of just basic commands, players can assign AI-controlled characters five specific commands, each with its own priority level. Players can create and switch between five different AI combinations to fit different situations.
All playable characters have a "Tension Gauge" which when filled lets that character enter the "Awakening" state, similar to Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss's "Overlimit". Movement speed and attack power are increased, and TP consumption and chanting time are decreased, allowing for more powerful attacks and longer combos. If a party member is in the Awakening state, "Infinity Jam" can be activated, which lets players create a long combination of attacks for a short time, and switch between the three characters used in the battle freely for better connection of attacks, similar to Tales of Symphonia's "Unison Attack" and Tales of Legendia's "Climax Mode".
Characters in Tales of Innocence are able to have their own "Style". Players are able to equip a style to a character, and each style gives that character increases in stats. The styles also level up, and when that style has leveled up enough that character gets abilities for use in battle or on the field.[4] In weapon shops around the world, players can also add abilities to weapons with materials found throughout the game, allowing the creation of custom weapons different from those normally bought in shops, with abilities like poison or paralysis.
Returning from Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Innocence uses a "Guild", a place that players can go to accept requests, quests, or favors in return for Gald, Grade, and various other rewards. Dungeons have randomly generated maps to challenge players in each quest. When a quest is cleared, the player earns Guild Points. When the player earns enough Guild Points, their Guild Rank rises, allowing them to accept tougher quests, and possibly earn better rewards.[5]

The Imperial Capital of Regnum kept itself in peace during the long-lasting world war. Slowly, people with a "special power" began to appear.

- Luca Milda (ルカ・ミルダ Ruka Miruda?) (Voice by: Akiko Kimura) - The game's male protagonist. He lives in the Imperial capital of Regnum with his parents who want him to take over the family's mercantile business. He is a callow boy who's shy and often gets bullied by his classmates. At the beginning of the game, Luca has been having dreams about his past life as the mighty Devalokian general Asura, whom he admires and wants to be as brave as him. Then one day he meets Iria Animi, a fellow Fallen, and wants to protect her as she is being chased by a group of people. His choice of weapon is a two-handed sword (which he cannot wield without Asura's help) because it is what Asura used and he specializes in powerhouse melee skills and fire magic.
- Iria Animi (イリア・アニーミ Iria Anīmi?) (Voice by: Yuko Sasamoto) - The game's female protagonist. A spirited and short-tempered girl who ran away from her hometown Sania Village because she was being chased by a mysterious group. She meets Luca by chance as he was returning from a shop while carrying food and he ends up giving the food to her. She travels with a strange animal called Coda. Her past life is Inanna, Asura's lover, and someone of high-class from the Ratio. Her weapons of choice are dual guns and she specializes in healing and water and ice magic.
- Spada Belforma (スパーダ・ベルフォルマ Supāda Beruforuma?) (Voice by: Yuji Ueda) - Spada is a delinquent that was arrested after causing a fight upon awakening to his powers as a Fallen. He is the reincarnation of Asura's sentient blade Durandal. Though he originally intimidates Luca, he becomes one of his staunchest allies. This is because he was raised as a knight as the youngest child in a powerful family, and has been instilled with values that emphasize honor and loyalty. He fights with two swords and specializes in quick attacks and lightning and wind magic.
- Ange Serena (アンジュ・セレナ Anju Serena?) (Voice by: Kaori Nazuka) - Ange is a kind girl considered a "Holy Maiden" by many due to her healing powers. Her past life was Orifiel, the brilliant tactician of Ratio who defected to Asura's side after coming to admire him. Though primarily a healer, she uses Light spells and also has several useful thieving skills while fighting with a dagger.
- Ricardo Soldato (リカルド・ソルダト Rikarudo Sorudato?) (Voice by: Hiroaki Hirata) - A laconic sniper, Ricardo is the reincarnation of one of Asura's most powerful adversaries, Hypnos the Reaper. Though he initially appears as a cold-hearted mercenary, he's actually quite wise and rational. He fights using his powerful rifles and specializes in earth and dark magic.
- Hermana Larmo (エルマーナ・ラルモ Erumāna Rarumo?) (Voice by: Yuki Matsuoka) - A feisty street orphan, Hermana is a powerful fighter despite her young age and short stature. She is the reincarnation of Vrtra, the great and powerful dragon who raised Asura as her own. She fights using a pair of knuckledusters and has no specific elemental specialization, wielding all the strongest elemental spells.
- Coda (コーダ) (Voice by: Etsuko Kozakura) - A Muse (a small, rat-like creature who lives in the west) who tagged along with Iria after she left Sania Village. The Muse clan live in holes in the ground, but also live alongside the residents of Sania Village as pets. He is quite gluttonous.
- Mathias (マティウス) (Voice by: Atsuko Tanaka) - A powerful woman whose past life was Asura, the Overlord of Sensus. She is the leader of Arca, an organization of Avatars who strive to create utopia while living peacefully, unafraid of the Rehabilitation Program that most Avatars live in fear of. She represents the "Dark Side" of Asura, his hatred, while Luca represents his "Light Side" or hope.
- Oswald (オズワルド) (Voice by: Bin Shimada) - A powerful old general, nicknamed 'Pigwald' by the protagonists due to his fat belly, who helps the Privy Council of Regnum in obtaining the Manifest. However, he decides he wants to become a god instead, and forgoes their orders at the Tower of Dawn.
- Chitose Cxarma (チトセ) (Voice by: Rumi Shishido) - A quiet girl from Ashihara who joined Arca after learning Mathias was the Overlord in her past life. Her past life was Sakuya. Despite being reborn, Sakuya's love for Asura is still strong, and Chitose continuously pleads for Luca to join Arca, as well as having an intense rivalry with Iria.
- Chien Tenenbro (シアン・テネブロ) (Voice by: Miyuki Sawashiro) - A young boy from Galpos who has two brothers, Cer and Ber, both of which are dogs. He was shunned by the village when he was born with them, and joined Arca in hopes of creating a utopia where everyone is equal. His past life was Cerberus, the Guardian of the Manifest.
- Hasta Ekstermi (ハスタ) (Voiced by: Mitsuaki Madono) - A psychopathic young man who has no concept of friend or foe; he just loves killing. His past life was the demon spear Gaebolg.
Past Life:
- Asura (アスラ) (Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama) - The Arch-Demon General of Sensus, as well as, in secret, its Overlord. He commanded great armies and is both Luca Milda's and Mathias' past life. He wielded the sentient sword, Durandal, and wanted to reunite Devaloka and Naraka. Mathias is his dark side reincarnated, his hatred and despair, while Luca is his light side reincarnate, his hope, but also doubt.
- Inanna (イナンナ) - Asura's lover and a high-born demoness from Ratio. She is Iria Animi's past life and one of the people who betrays Asura.
- Durandal (デュランダル) - Asura's most trusted weapon, a sentient broadsword. He was forged by the blacksmith Vulcan in hopes of creating peace, rather than war, unlike the spear which had been forged before. He is Spada Belforma's past life as well as Inanna's accomplice in betraying Asura.
- Hypnos (ヒュプノス) - A powerful reaper from Ratio. His brother was Thanatos, a god who descended to Naraka of his own free-will due to the love her had for its people and its beauty. He is Ricardo Soldato's past life.
- Orifiel (オリフィエル) - A brilliant strategist from Ratio who grew close to Asura after his command had been defeated. He often gave advice to Asura, as well as shedding light on others, and his student was Himmel, a Pillar of Devaloka. He is Ange Serena's past life.
- Vrtra (ヴリトラ) - A dragon who raised Asura. She flew the skies after Devaloka fell and died alone. She is Hermana Larmo's past life.
- Gaebolg (ゲイボルグ) - A demonic spear forged by the blacksmith, Vulcan. He enjoys killing and bloodshed, having no concept of friend or foe because he was forged as a pure weapon. He was defeated by Durandal and Asura personally, and was reborn as Hasta Esktermi.
- Sakuya (サクヤ) - A quiet demoness who stayed loyally by Asura's side out of love, despite the fact he turned a blind eye to her. She is Chitose Cxarma's past life.
- Thanatos (タナトス) - A powerful reaper and older brother of Hypnos. He descended to Naraka of his own will and lived for thousands of years, far past the fall of Devaloka. He is the father of the Grigori and took on a new name when he left Devaloka - Gardel.
- Cerberus (ケルベロス) - A small, three-headed dog who guarded the Manifest before the Fall of Devaloka. Every time he died, he was reborn at the Manifest in order to protect it. He is the past life of Chien and his two dog-brothers, Cer and Ber.
Tales of Innocence was announced in July[when?] in Famitsu,[citation needed] along with Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World for the Wii, a spin-off sequel to Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Destiny Director's Cut, a "Director's Cut" version of Tales of Destiny for the PlayStation 2, and a port of Tales of Rebirth to the PlayStation Portable. Tales of Innocence was used to present the Nintendo DS as the series "lead platform," though producers have since explained that they simply meant this to apply to that year.
Later on, the game was added to Namco's official site for the Tales series, and updates for the game's features like Wireless play, Hi-ougis, Infinity Jam, and more came from it and magazine articles. On November 6, Namco added the "Staff Voice", a blog in which the developers of the game can put information on the development and features of the game. The first large announcement was that the game would give you the choice of having a "model outline", a dark outline around the models that gives the game a cel-shaded look. Another announcement was that the "Voice Adventure DVD", the pre-order item for the game, was going to be an adventure in which you make decisions to continue, that can have good or bad consequences. Later it was shown that the bottom screen would be used for a map.[6] On September 14, 2011, days before the Tokyo Game Show 2011, Namco Bandai announced Tales of Innocence R a remake of the original game for the upcoming PlayStation Vita platform alongside Tales of Heroes: Twin Braves, a Dynasty Warriors-like spin-off of the series.[7]
The game's opening animation was made by Production I.G..[2] Its opening song is "Follow the Nightingale," and the ending song is "Say Goodbye & Good Day", both of which are by Kokia.
A manga based on Tales of Innocence was drawn by Hiroyuki Kaido and published in Japan by Shueisha on November 2, 2007.
Tales of Innocence received a 9/9/9/8 (35/40) score from Famitsu.[8] The game was the third best-selling title in Japan during its week of release at 104,000 copies.[9] Media Create sales data shows that by the end of the following year, Tales of Innocence had sold 246,420 copies in Japan.[10]
Tales of Innocence R[edit]
Tales of Innocence R is a remake of the game for the PlayStation Vita platform. It was announced in the September 2011 issue of VJump[11] and released on January 26, 2012 in Japan.[12] No North American release has been announced.
The game was "re-imagined" with scenarios, battle system and areas within the game being revamped.[13] The game also features new graphics, new artwork for the characters, new music tracks including a new opening song, "New Day, New Life" and new ending song, "Life~Seimei no Hibiki~" (LIFE~生命の響~?, lit."Life~The Echo of Life~"), both by Kokia, as well as new extensive new anime cutscenes including an entirely new opening video for the game made by Production I.G. who have been longtime animators for the series with the exception of then recently released, Tales of Xillia.[14][15]
The game utilizes the DI-LMBS for combat, which features several changes from the original battle system.[16] Some of the new changes include the "Rave System", where each time the character successfully hits the enemy it fills their Rave Gauge. The Rave Gauge has four levels, and each level has a corresponding Rave Ability that is activated for each level. Players can customize which ability goes to which level and these abilities are purchased from the Grade Shop using Grade Points. At the highest most level it allows players to activate several Rave Abilities simultaneously to attack the enemy in combat.[17][18] The game will also use a grid system for learning new abilities, which are learned by spending Ability Points earned in battle. These abilities are arranged in a grid format, and players can only learn new abilities depending on what is permitted on the grid based on the amount of points earned. Each Ability has its own effects and bonuses. More Abilities are revealed as you progress through the game. Abilities are passive and are not to be confused with Artes, which are used actively in battles.[19] It also sees the integration of the PlayStation Vita's touch screen capabilities whereby players can tap on the character's artwork at the bottom of the screen during battles to issue commands or activate artes.[20]
The Vita game saw the introduction of two new playable characters in the story, both of which were not present in the original game. The two characters are Kongwai Tao (voiced by Kenji Nojima)[14] and QQ Selesneva (voiced by Saki Fujita), both of which will have a role to play in the game's storyline despite not being present in the original.[21]
Tales of Innocence R received a 9/9/9/9 (36/40) from Famitsu.[citation needed]

apparent that undergraduate education also must be considered as an integral part of the continuum of education in the United States that extends from pre-kindergarten through the graduate and postdoctoral years. The order in which the vision statements and strategies for implementation are presented in this report reflects that continuum.
Innovative, effective undergraduate SME&T education depends, in part, on having students matriculate at postsecondary institutions who have had sufficient pre-college educational experiences to enable them to undertake college-level work. Therefore, Vision 1 addresses pre-college preparation and the changes that are occurring in K-12 science and mathematics education.
Vision 2 then focuses on the roles and responsibilities of postsecondary faculty and SME&T curricula. Postsecondary faculty add value to students' pre-college educational experiences by making explicit to students the connections among the natural science disciplines and by providing opportunities for students to understand the processes and limits of science through inquiry-based and interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning. For science majors, this exposure might often involve participation in undergraduate research.
Next, Vision 3 addresses the importance of designing courses and programs that can be appropriately evaluated for their effectiveness in advancing the learning of SME&T by lower-division undergraduate students.
Vision 4 goes on to address explicitly the needs of two critically important groups of students—undergraduates who enroll in SME&T courses (especially at the introductory level) and who may go on to become teachers of science and mathematics in grades K-12 and practicing teachers of science and mathematics in grades K-12. For too long, the education of future teachers as well as the continuing professional development of current science and mathematics teachers have been viewed by many faculty in SME&T disciplines as primarily the responsibilities of schools of education. Vision 4 calls on faculty in the natural sciences and engineering to become more directly involved in developing integrated approaches to the preparation and continuing professional development of K-12 teachers.
Vision 5 considers the role of institutions in catalyzing change in undergraduate SME&T education through the provision of appropriate rewards and incentives to faculty, creation and support of other institutional resources, such as Teaching and Learning Centers, and assistance to faculty in engaging in appropriate planning for facilities and equipment.
Finally, Vision 6 examines the future of undergraduate SME&T education by considering the role of graduate and postdoctoral education in preparing the next generation of college and university faculty to become skilled teachers. It also addresses the need to support current faculty in learning more about how teaching methods affect student learning.
Many of the specific strategies for implementation in this report expand and build upon the issues articulated in a convocation and subsequent report entitled From Analysis to Action: Undergraduate Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (National Research Council, 1996a) and in national hearings and the subsequent report entitled Shaping the Future: New Expectations for Undergraduate Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (National Science Foundation, 1996b). They reflect the ''Year of Dialogue" held across the country by this report's authoring committee with a broad range of postsecondary representatives. Taken together, these implementation strategies could lead to fundamental, systemic improvement in the many facets of undergraduate SME&T education.
The vision statements and their attendant implementation strategies have been provided primarily for those who work directly with undergraduates across the broad spectrum of postsecondary institutions in the United States. Thus, the principles are relevant to community colleges, liberal arts colleges,

I made a DFH 90min clone. It is now six weeks old and tastes like a cup of columbian coffee. Very thick and creamy texture wise and has a very distinct coffee flavor. This is obviously a batch gone wrong, but yet tases very good and has a kick like a mule! (8.8%abv) I am wondering what went wrong or what may have happened to make this flavor combo happen. I get the feeling that caramelization of some sugars is playing a big part, but can't say what else is playing a part. What ever happened it is a very interesting flavor and is in no way bad tasting, if you are a coffee lover as I am.
1st Primary:Cacade/Orange Pale
2nd Primary:Wild Hop Pale
secondary: Inspired Clone
Kegged: Edwort's House Pale, Honey Porter, BierMuncher's Black Pearl Porter
Sounds kind of cool, in a "try not to do it again" sort of way. Of course, I love coffee.
So do you heat that up and poor i in a cup with breakfast, or just drink it from the bottle?
No heat up just from the tap at 39f. It turned out weird for sure and this is strike three. I have made this beer three times and it has never turned out right so I think I will not be trying again. I think I'll stick to simpler beers that turn out how they are suposed too.
I would give that some serious time before I considered it bad. You said it was 6 weeks old, is that from brew day, or from the day it was kegged?
A beer with that much alc, and that much hops (it is a hoppy beer right?) needs some SERIOUS conditioning time. I would say 12 weeks from brewday minimum.
Agreed! This was first sample stuff 6 weeks from brew day. I will continue to let it condition though I don't expect it will taste as it should in the end. However I will let it sit in the keg and taste periodically to see how it's coming along.
Hmmm....maybe try doing your 90 min clone in 60 mins?

I have been working at CouchSurfing full-time (less than an year)
Group meals and fun office space.
Gross mis-management issues destroying the unique vibe and replacing it with a culture of fear and "Yes Men".
When I started, this seemed like the best job ever. Even in just the year or so that I've been here I've seen the company rapidly decline. Any sort of mission or vision focus has been completely erased. Most of the original people have quit or been let go through regular mass layoffs. Those who have managed to hang on to their jobs have learned to do whatever the head guy tells them to and not to ask questions. My job is no longer about making decisions or creating, it's about pushing buttons. I just hope I can hang on to it long enough to find a new one elsewhere. There's no passion here any longer.
I hope the Couchsurfing community finds a way to survive with CS or without.
Best of luck to you. I hope I can leap frog onto the next job before you fire me.

I have been working at CouchSurfing full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
...was coming to work for Couchsurfing.
The people Couchsurfing attracts are dedicated, intelligent, optimistic, hard-working, professionals who want to change the world for the better, and have a positive outlook reflective of that desire.
This means that people here are aligned in our mission to facilitate people all over the world to connect in meaningful ways, by creating the best tool possible for doing so.
Open, frank communication is the norm among the staff, including upper management.
We all know each other, and eat meals together every day.
Management creates opportunities for learning and growing into new positions for those with aptitude and drive. They are clear with staff about deliverables and job performance expectations, and make every effort to facilitate us reaching our goals.
We work collaboratively. I feel my experience and input here is valued.
It is fun! People here laugh a lot, and care a great deal about what we do, and who is affected by it.Cons
The transition from the Couchsurfing of yesteryear to what Couchsurfing is now has been intense. Having been through several iterations of this organization's business structures, I can say that, as difficult as the staff, site, and communication changes have been, this organization, and the community that is persevering, is going to be better off for the changes, Dramatically so.

I have been working at CouchSurfing full-time (less than an year)Pros
Before I even started working for Couchsurfing, it was the reason I got up in the morning! The Couchsurfing community has been part of my life for years and working for the company now is better than I could have ever imagined. Every single staff member is brilliant, fun and passionate about what we do. Being around people like that every day not only makes your job more fun, but pushes you to do better.
We're given every single resource would could possibly need to do our jobs to the best of our ability. We're encouraged to think outside the box, ask questions and management is incredibly transparent. As an employee you feel valued and encouraged.Cons
It's hard work! And because of the changes happening to the website, not everyone knows the answer to everything. There is no set path and decisions are changed daily. This definitely keeps us on our toes, though it's really only a con when you're tired.
The split between the old community and new community is always a tricky one. Some days it can be hard to do your job when you're being pushed from all ends.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Keep on keepin' on. Keep infusing the original spirt and mission of Couchsurfing alive every day. That's what reminds us why we do what we do.RecommendsPositive Outlook

When the federal sequestration kicked in earlier this year, it wasn't clear what it would mean for New York City. And when the sky didn't immediately fall as the automatic cuts took effect, some argued that the talk of doom and gloom was overblown. But don't try making that argument to the 400,000 residents of the city's public housing system.
The Housing Authority yesterday announced massive cuts to the agency in the wake of a $205 million budget shortfall because of the sequester. This means layoffs and possible furloughs at a city agency that is already struggling to eliminate a massive backlog of repairs in many of its 2,600 buildings. Federal Section Eight vouchers – which the authority gives to roughly another 100,000 New Yorkers -- will be cut, making it harder for poor residents to pay their landlords. Also in jeopardy are senior and community centers in Housing Authority buildings.
The City Council today is holding an emergency budget hearing about the cuts and mayoral candidate Bill Thompson is already ripping the agency for its plans. But what is the city really supposed to do when Washington suddenly comes up short and a doomsday budget machine is activated? Almost 80 percent of the agency's budget comes from the federal government – which has already slashed $4 billion from the agency over the last 12 years. The sequester has become a giant punt where elected federal officials are avoiding making tough decisions and budgeting is being done with a blindfold and an axe.
Despite its many problems, the city's Housing Authority overall is viewed as a success story – especially compared to other cities across the country. But apparently the new national motto should be: if it ain't fixed, break it. Never try making policy decisions with a cleaver.

Been there, done that
Been there, done that
lickin' that clit makes his prick all hard and firm
This boy looks like a real hottie. I'd love to see the entire video if anyone happens to know where it is from.
i just started a porn blog about this. i hope its ok if post the link here? its totally non-commercial.
some pics:
Great blog, x-chess. I also like pics and scenes of hot guys going down on a girl's pussy and ass with their lips, tongue, and mouth. Good stuff!
One of the hottest sexual experiences I have had was with a man and his wife. Besides getting to fuck and suck on him, it was just as hot watching him eat her cunt and pound her pussy. It was even hotter when he told me to help him eat it...mmm. I get to do this about once a month. They are hot.
hot Asian dude sucking on a slice of vag
Suit up to go down!
If ALL the pussy I ate over the years looked this good, I'd be 125 pounds lighter or I would have starved to death.
Hot Str8 studs preparing the Vag for penile penetration
Suck that clit out her vagina, boy, and don't forget you'll never pull a real dick out of it. Only men have real dick. Suck cock, never clit. Clit is fake dick.
Heck, I'd be the guy wanting to eat the pussy after it has been fucked and hopefully cream filled!
blond hottie diggin' in
I didnt realize this was a fetish...for me its 'normal' hehe
That is one part of straight sex that I love!!! There is something so hot about being in between a woman's legs flicking her clit and tasting her. As long as the girl is clean, it is amazing. My girlfriend gets super wet and I love tasting her sweet juices. There was only one time it was a bit strong, but even then I couldn't help but eat her out. I just love making her feel happy by doing something so nasty. Its even hotter when the girl is dominant, telling me to go down on her like I am her slave.

Hey, AsianDream boy- I hope that you enjoyed your recent adventure into pussy land. It's true that you cant "munch on a clit" literally, but then you can't "eat pussy" literally either. Thank goodness!
Hey, I'm as gay as you and most of the guys on JUB (I would never give up on sucking Dick), but you have to admit that there is something powerfully erotic about a man using his tongue and lips to pleasure a woman.
My fantasy, though, would be to tongue some pussy while my buddy pumps his dick inside her and leaves his cum to lick-up. then I would fuck the same pussy and let my bro have a taste also. As in the pic below:
Love the cuckold flix where the inadequate and humiliated cuck hubbie or bf has just watched his woman be maximally used and obviously pleasured and completely fucked by a REAL MAN and then the cuck crawls up and eats the MAN's spooge out of his woman's cunt.....damn!!! I would like to be made to eat a well fucked and loaded up cunt by the MAN that fucked it, and clean him up, too!
I found this hot example of an asian bro eating some pussy then getting rewarded with fucking her tight pussy.
a guy licking pussy while she is getting fucked!! so hot!!!!!!!!
thanks for sharing!!
(and I thought I was the only gay who loved pussylicking porn...)
Nice contri !
I love watching a guy eating a woman, especially when he's really into it. I've never been able to explain it, but it's one of my biggest turn-ons.
Watching a woman go down on a guy completely turns me off, though.
This is by far my favorite pussy eating video. The guy is so fucking hot and gets really into it. It's so hot how he manages to keep his mouth on her pussy when she starts cumming.
Someone asked me once how I could know that I'm gay if I've never slept with a woman. I've never shoved shards of glass into my eye, either, but I don't have to give it a shot to know that it's not for me.
I especially like pics like these that show dudes similar in size, shape, and skin color to me (latino & asian).
I found some pics of this handsome stud -Keni- licking and fucking some hot pussy. Man, this got my dick super hard!
Here's another straight bro enjoying himself licking and fucking some pussy-
I did some bi action threeways - I fucked this dude's gf - and he sucked her clit and licked her pussy lips while I fucked her - and I'd pull my cock out of her snatch and shove it in his mouth periodically........ came in his mouth and kinda on his face shoved it back in her for a final few pumps - then he fucked her
There is nothing hotter than watching Justice Young eat a woman out in the middle of fucking her. JUstice Young is so hot and has one of the most beautiful and amazing cocks on any man. He is great in the sack and you can tell his partners are having the best fuck of their life while he is using that big dick on them. Would love to see him work over some cute twink....
Also, have a fantasy about a dom guy forcin me onto all fours to eat out his bitch while he breeds my hole...usin my face and toungue as a dildo to satisfy his cunt while bangs my own fuck hole mercilessly and they both use me as a cum recepticle...
Just a few more pics for the straight and bi brothers to enjoy-
I'll just leave this here:

Currently blessed to be a part of one of the most amazing high school theatre departments in the nation, I have loved theatre the moment I started learning about it. I currently live in Dallas, TX, and theatre is basically my whole life. I've been in the cast of shows like The Drowsy Chaperone, Steampunk Robin Hood, and Seussical; and I've been assistant to the director for Don't Drink The Water. I've studied everything from stage combat to African dance due to being in International Thespian Society Troupe 6605, and I hope to obtain my B.F.A in Theatre: Acting in the future!

Democrats fielding a full slate
Seasoned candidates seen as winning team
WOLCOTT — Democrats hope to strengthen their influence in town, proposing a full slate of candidates — many of whom have held political office in other positions.
"We have one hell of a team," said party Chairwoman Lorraine M. McQueen.

80% Of US Adults Are Near Poverty, Rely On Welfare, Or Are UnemployedSubmitted by dducks on Sun, 07/28/2013 - 18:52
Via ZeroHedge:
Despite consumer confidence at a six-year high, the latest AP survey of the real America shows a stunning four out of five U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, are near poverty, or rely on welfare for at least parts of their lives amid signs of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream. Hardship is particularly on the rise among whites, based on several measures. Pessimism among whites about their families' economic futures has climbed to the highest point since at least 1987.
"Poverty is no longer an issue of 'them', it's an issue of 'us'," as 'the invisible poor' - lower income whites - are generally dispersed in suburbs (Appalachia, the industrial Midwest, and across America's heartland, from Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma up through the Great Plains) where more than 60% of the poor are white.
More than 19 million whites fall below the poverty line of $23,021 for a family of four - accounting for more than 41% of the nation's destitute - nearly double the number of poor blacks and as one survey respondent noted "I think it's going to get worse."

Depends on your definition of Adult
Adults don't spend all their income making payments on crap they don't really need.
If the TV tells you what you NEED you are not an adult.
But I LOVE my Macbook.
Hey, nobody's perfect.
And yet, most own cars
Most have food, medicine, clothes, cell phones, most have what billions of people don't have and no way to even get.
Maybe the poverty level needs to be reduced from $23K?
Maybe we should be counting blessings rather than sizing up what the rich and famous have and comparing ourselves to them?
The photograph reminded me of touring with the Grateful Dead, we lived in tents and lived from show to show, and we were HAPPY.
Sure beat being strapped to bills and taxes and insurance.
Under 20K
We live on under 20k after taxes.We have a car..we bought it used..it now has over 250k miles on it...we have food..Im a smart shopper and use coupons when I can...We pay rent..we have internet..but we got a good deal on it. And because our deadbeat ex son-in-law ''babysits' the kids..and has no job..we help our daughter out all the time.
You can be poor and have things..It just depends on where you go to get them.
We know what homelessness is like. He works hard to earn a paycheck, and I work hard to make it pay all we need to pay. So yeah..the poor is growing. We see people like us, who have more than us, and who have less than us, making it everyday and thanking God for what they have.
I'd love to see anyone in government live like we do for 1 month..Wouldnt you?
I believe in Hope & Change..I Hope the government will Change
Spindale-Rutherford County-North Carolina
YES!!! Absolutely YES I WOULD
And I admit, I would LOVE to see humble elected take offices and be part of the people, not above the people. Our city manage makes $136K annually to destroy the city. YES, she is one that I would like to see get a whopping reduction.. because to me, she's not even worth $13K.
Living in a tent might be fun
Living in a tent might be fun for the duration of a Grateful Dead concert but it gets old real, real fast.
You can't eat a cell phone. Even Africans with $800 a year incomes have them, that doesn't mean they aren't poor. And people living in tents can't afford health care. I think you'll find that many of those living in tents have had their cars repossessed, while the remainder need their worn down beaters to get to whatever low wage job they can find.
Ever been to a dead show?
They last three days, and we toured for months. There was a spring/Summer tour and a Fall/Winter tour. I really think the searing heat in Summer was worse than the cold rain and snow. The funny part was in the heat, the marshmellow wars.. those marshmellows melted on impact, and it was a gooey mess, especially tangled un in long hair (think that's how the dred fashion hit us).
We did have rock med.. volunteer doctors.. used to see people lined up, again that heat.. people dosed on acid and lined up around the stadium, from heat dtroke, goggling because of their trup.. and some absolutely freaked out from bad trips, and people taking off all their cloithes and running and then falling.. ouch! Face plants from doing balloons of nitrious.. yeah we had our health issues.. STDs, I can go on.
As someone who has worked at a soup kitchen for years, I know, many of these people chose this life.. and those who don't find the help they need, and some, like myself, wind up doing very well.
Political activism + permaculture= new tribalism
Since the current economic system does not work for these people, I think it is time for them to think outside the box and consider forming some sort of tribal-ish community. I bet the people in tent cities get to know one another quickly. Hopefully its not like big-house neighborhoods where nobody knows anyone else. Liberty activists and permaculture activists need to organize and reach out to these tent city people and start organizing on a community level. If you could get just a few people to produce a commodity, such as food, I think it could lay the foundation to turn a depressing tent city occupied by the "unemployed" into a community-villiage inhabited by modern pioneers of alternative economic social structure. Tribalism with a capitalist free market.
Political science-oriented people should think of a way to frame the idea that instead of trying to get a job, get back into the current economic system and start paying bills, the unemployed should take an entrepreneurial approach to organize on a community level to produce commodities. They're already living in a tent city so I think it would be interesting to try to make it a tent-villiage. Permaculture activists could have a field day with all the people who need work. First the idea has to be framed practically and expressed efficiently.
Does anybody else think this could be possible?
Sure it's possible
I will probably become necessary as the economy stops creating real jobs. A very interesting movie was made in the Thirties about this idea.

Thread About Poor America?
There is an Afterburner for that:
I recently found these on Youtube after i saw his video on the Trayvon case.
I really like his videos. check them out sometime.
...for at least parts of their lives
So what? Just means 80% of people will experience a hard time in their life. Not conclusively indicative of anything.
The ptb hide this very well.
Many Americans have been living from "paycheck to paycheck" for a long, very long time. For years, Americans have only been one paycheck away from hard times.
80%? That is probably right.
They/we are there now (upon very hard times) but it is still hidden.
It will stay hidden, too, until the final collapse.
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
9/11 Truth.
I lost
my a job a year ago. Haven't found one since.
wait, I did find one but they offered me 10 hours a week that basically paid for my gas to get there.
Does anyone else think that
Does anyone else think that making tents will always be a booming market because of that picture?
Heck, there might be some money to be made if someone were to go around offering to fix them.
Yea, the above says at some point in their lives. Not 80% all the time. So the figure at any given point in time is going to be lower than 80%. Being conservative, I would put the number at 30-40% though, which still isnt good.
To climb the mountain, you must believe you can.
The poverty rate of $23,000 for a family of four is a joke.
I am a family of one and can't afford to live on $23,000. The people who figure out the poverty rate obviously earn a lot more than $23,000 and have no clue to the true cost of living.
Thanks for posting this important article.

Our philosophy at 3M is to approach terminology mapping and semantic interoperability using a centralized terminology server. With a centralized source of terminology management and maintenance, each data source needs to be mapped only once. Once this single mapping occurs, all the other systems that are mapped to the centralized server can leverage the mappings so data can be translated and exchanged without losing meaning. Therefore, for n systems that need to be mapped, only n mappings need to be performed.
On the other hand, in a point-to-point mapping approach, each system is mapped directly to every other system. While this is a feasible approach when dealing with a few systems, it becomes unwieldy as the number of systems increases. For example, given three systems to map, the total number of mappings that need to be created is three. However, if we increase the number of systems to five, the point-to-point mappings increase to 10. This is illustrated in Figure 1. Continue reading

Israel is still being widely criticized for the flotilla attack, but on Wednesday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not about to apologize for his country's actions in the incident or for Israel's stance toward Gaza. —KA
Voice of America:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was unapologetic in the face of mounting criticism.
"Israel regrets the loss of life," said Benjamin Netanyahu. "But we will never apologize for defending ourselves."
He said the flotilla that Israeli commandos raided on Monday intended to break the blockade, not bring aid to Gaza.
Mr. Netanyahu said Israel could not afford to let the flotilla break the blockade, saying that would have been followed by hundreds of boats possibly carrying missiles to the militant Islamist group Hamas that rules Gaza.

Too good to factcheck.
Aspen in now Bat Country.
Do not click.
Epic health fail.
I fought the law and the law… got its butt pretty much kicked.
Code Pink goes marching off to war.
They don't just give those away.
Rooting out waste and fraud.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
If you missed WiB on PJTV this weekend, now would be an excellent time to check it out.

What to do after Hoop Dee Doo?
We will have the 6:15pm Hoop Dee Doo Review. I had thought to do the Chip & Dale sing a long afterwards and then watch Wishes from the beach. I don't know what time all of this will occur and if it's even feasible?:confused3 Can someone tell me if we can do all of this in one evening at Ft. Wilderness?
I don't know when you are going and what time Wishes is that night. But you might be able to see the Electric Water Pageant from the beach.
We were there last week. You could do HDDR & watch Wishes & the water parade from the beach, which is near HDDR. You wouldn't have time to catch an internal bus to the campfire & get back to fireworks in time.
