my fave straight porn dads are, MIKE HORNER, BUCK ADAMS, TOM BYRON, JOHN HOLMES.
The only guys I know from straight porn are Buck Adams and Randy Spears, I don't mind putting up with a women if these guys are there for me to focus on.
Hi Lvbyz22 - I assume you've seen this thread:
It's a thread about favorite daddies though not about favorite STRAIGHT daddies. Makes for interesting reading if you haven't read it. I definitely don't quarrel with you starting a thread specifically about straight dads - I love 'em
I'm going to gather some photos before I start posting my faves!
Steve Drake, Joey Silvera, Buck Adams, and Randy Spears
always thought there was something sexy as hell about Tom Byron--besides that dick of his!!! Mike Horner's one of the 1st pornstars i ever jerked to. some of his scenes are hilarious...i actually ran across an old vhs of him playing "Gilligan" in a porn parody.
ran across a scene of Vince Voyeur's the other day, and he the graying hair looks sexy as HELL on him!!!
I think Herschel Savage is really Dorian Gray. This guy is just as sexy now as when I first jerked off to him in a porn shop booth 30 years ago.
Runners up: Randy Spears, Earl Slate, Jack Hammer and the late Buck Adams.
Mike Horner and Buck Adams have already been mentioned. But really like the guys from the 70s. There's tons of really hot 40 plus types that did just one or two films.
But tops of my list are R. Bolla and Jake Teague!
any nude pics of jake teague and mike horner would be appreciated, would have loved to see them have a gangbang with kevin williams
Jake Teauge
love those pics and many thanks for posting, i have always liked long lean hairless dads , would have loved to have seen john holmes in a good dad sons best friend scene, hope someone out there has some nice pics of MIKE HORNER ?
The first one who springs to mind is Horst Baron. He's very handsome and suave. He also has a great body and cock.
Jim Slip is also great, though more in a silly fun way. Still he's pretty intense when he gets down to business. He has a fantastic cock--nice and thick.
I still have an obsession with Randy West. All that blonde fuzz and the long, thick legs
I've always wondered what happened to Jake Teague. There's zero info on the web about him that I can find. He looked to be in his 50s doing the porn in the 70s so he may not be with us anymore. He also did some of the Italian horror flicks with R. Bolla/Robert Kerman. R. Bolla/Kerman has resurfaced recently doing some promotional stuff for the recent Cannibal Holocaust DVD release and doesn't look so good.
He was in a documentary on Debbie Does Dallas and looks like a broken man. Claims he was used by porn industry and spit out. He's well over 300lbs and has missing teeth now, I hope he's able to pull it together. He was doing conventions for Cannibal Holocaust and there's reports that people questioned if he'd had a shower in days and looked like a crackhead. Very sad.

Yes I am saying it, Ron Jeremy (Cleaned up a bit tho lol)
Yeah I can only name 4 , there are a lot more that I like I just dont know their names lol..
my fave porn dad that I like watching is Steve Titpig Hurley. I like his build and whole physique of his body and voice is sexy to listen to.
captain bob
captain stabbin
karl gents
paul baressi
mike horner
rick savage
dunno how i forgot to mention Mark Ashley!!! not only of my favorite "dads", but one of my favorite performers in general
reminds me alot of an in-shape Sean Penn.
The only pic I have on my PC of Mike Horner, also my first porn fav. Google him there will be many more...
hot lists;
steve holmes
mark davis
yogi,king hunter,alfred and jimmy from grandpafuckteens
eli thomas
bryan holiday
brian surewood....make me hard
chris charming
horst baron
jack moore
pascal st james....very hot
pat myne
uncle jesse....
1-Roberto Malone ( what a cock, and his chest, mmm, i would let him do whatever the fuck he wants to me)
2-Buster Good... too hot
3- Rod Fontana, sexy daddy!!!
4- j crew, he's so cute!!!
5- ron jeremy ( back in the day)
Lee Stone is fuckin hot!
for "dad" types, I'll have to go with Randy Spears...
rod fontana still the best.....
Okay this full-length scene with Randy West is fucking hot!
Randy takes it slow and it's really erotic and the young piece he's doing seems totally into it.
Jay Crew hands down.He is really manly but he's also one of the cutest guys I've ever seen lol then Rod Fontana would come in second.
totally hot randy spears scene!!! rly hot oral shots where u get to see his face just skip past the part in the beginning when he goes down on her lol
I have always been a fan of Eric Edwards...
...I can't seem to find any decent pics of him though. He's been around since the 1960s (in loops) then in porn through the 70s, 80s and 90s.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
Don't really understand what you are saying but I actually just found a movie with Frank James that I had already downloaded on my computer. Man do I need to clean out my porn vids haha.
Peter North - Big Cock & Huge Loads
Mike Horner - Hot Man
Mike Horner was hot when he was young, with a stache; then he shaved it off, and was so-so, but now that he's older, he's hot again!
Rod Fontana is, indeed, hot!
Peter North, on the other hand ..... I'll pass!
I'm surprised that back in the day when porn was paying peanuts to its male stars, that more straight guys didn't do gay-for-pay. I know a few did, like Paul Thomas and Peter North (although he denies it). But wouldn't you think a guy with all the problems Jerry Butler had would have taken the plunge at least once?
RON JEREMY MY LOVE FOR EVER AND EVER!!!(FAT,SICK,UGLY I DON'T CARE!).............and the Blake Palmer from '87 to '91....after those years he just went downhill!.
roberto malone!!
An Asian virgin searching the perfect musclebear that is willing to strive for true love and remain patient as it is hard to live inside the closet Will there be love for me
I was told never to speak ill of anyone, but... Ron Jeremy is , and always was, a disgusting fat pig.
haha...i thought I was the only guy who liked Mike Horner. He works for me in a geeky,quirky, naughty dad type way.
I also love Roberto Malone, Franco Trentalance, Eric Edwards, John Holmes, Steve Drake, Brandon Iron, and Paul Thomas! I may be forgetting someone...lol
OMG! once again...we are seeing eye to eye about someone! I love Mark's fat cock...and yeah, his body is on point.

Deedles, he shouldn't be messing around with cutting any holes in scissor trusses. That's altering the structural support of the home. If he's freaking out and can't get the wire where it needs to be without doing that, you REALLY need to call in an electrician. That's what they do every day, and they know how to fish wire and get those boxes where they need to go without the drama stressing you out. Just get him out of the way, have the electrician come in, and present him with a done deed. He'll gripe, but he'll be relieved he didn't mess anything up too. |

I know there are shallow LEDs, check out the one lee676 posts about 1/2 way down. I saw one other one posted here somewhere too, I think they were used by someone recently. Sorry about all the vagueness, I wasn't paying close attention at the time. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Shallow led
I considered lights on a cable like track, but didn't like the look with our kitchen. However, we only have eight foot ceilings, so something like that might work with a nine foot ceiling. What about sconces? |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Sun, Aug 11, 13 at 10:52
It sounds like you want this to be a DIY project, but I vote for recessed lights and, to save your marriage, maybe bite the bullet and pay for an electrician to do it. If the electrician says it can't be done, then he can at least run the wiring for ceiling lights...then all DH has to do is hang them if you haven't decided on them yet. |
Holly: he's not cutting holes in anything. He says that the shallow slope of the roof doesn't leave much room above the ceiling exactly where I need the boxes. I think he just said scissor trusses to try and explain to me what was going on up there. He is totally aware of and capable of doing whatever wiring is going to happen, he just doesn't think there will be enough physical space for the big recessed boxes, since I need the light about 12" from the wall. Williamsem: how nice are you helping me out when you've got your own headaches going on over there? Thanks, I'll check it out. LoPay: I don't have a wall to put a sconce on. Unless you know of something that I don't? |
joanie: this IS a diy project. The whole thing. No way would he hire an electrician. His Dad was an electrician and he does know what he's doing wiring-wise, it's just the space available might not fit a recessed light is all. Williamsem: that link might have some help in it. Just have to figure out how many lumens I need to be useful from 9 feet. |
My friend has some bright task lights on a cable track and it's one of my favorite looks. Her kitchen also has great views out the window and a vibe similar to yours. It's just great lighting and doesn't impose its look. Function wins! |
linelle: do you mean a track with several lights on it? Any clue how high her ceiling is? I know farmgirlinky had track lighting, too. I didn't like the idea of spiderwebs way up there in my track lighting.... |
I couldn't get williamsen's link to work so if I am repeating I apologize. We had one spot where a heating/ AC duct interfered with the can location so we used a Glimpse LED light. It fits in a J-Box so it may work for you. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Glimpse LED
corgimum: Thank you, you aren't repeating. Do you use this for a task light or is it more of a general light? |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 11, 13 at 11:32
Sounds like he just needs more information. He thinks there is not enough room is different than there is not enough room. Would actually going can buying the recessed light fixture and actually seeing if it will fit? If you buy it local you should be able to return it easily. I totally understand the DIY part. When DH had questions he would search the internet, refer to electrical book he has, call the town inspecter, and shop. Most of the time he got it right but we certainly returned a lot of stuff to HD and Lowes. Sometimes you don't know until its in your hands if it will work or not. |

Deedles- Don't you have a light in the hood? It looks like it in this picture.
If you need more task lighting, what about sconces on either side? Here's the link, if you like them :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to light
Go to the Home Depot site, type in Lithonia LED lighting. They have mini flush mount LED, if you don't care for the white, along the right side of the page, other styles will be displayed by different manufacturers. I used Lithonia LED can lights on dimmers throughout our home, and couldn't be happier. |
Debrak: we probably will have to go and look in person, too. I guess there is a rafter in the way right where I want one light. Lav: there is a light in the hood, but I thought I'd like a task light down onto the counter on either side of the stove. |

Tech Lighting has all sorts of goodies for lighting challenges. I've always been drawn to their Monorail Lighting-so crisp and creative-even thought I did 4" recessed cans which they have too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tech Lighting:
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Sun, Aug 11, 13 at 12:13
Have you thought about cable lighting? The fixtures can be small and unobtrusive and has the advantage of bringing the light source down closer to the work surface so it's brighter. Or, of course, they have very fancy fixtures and pendants (including things like airplanes and dragon flies) that also work with the cable system...all depends on what you want. They also sell something similar called monorail lighting that also has various style fixture to attach. |
Deedles- It's mostly general as I have UCL's too. But it is located at the edge of a countertop like some of my LED ceiling lights so it does illuminate the front part of a counter. I have an LED can centered over my sink which works fine and this light would equal that. |
Annie: thanks... that might be one of the few directions I could go in for a ceiling mount task light. I'll check them out. Corgimum: thanks for the additional info. Still checking out lights before I have to hit the hay (work nights) |
Is that a beam going across on either side the hood? If so, how about a track mounted on the side of it, or mono point fixtures, which are like track fixtures without the track. I have a beam that goes above and behind my island hood, and have a track on it that allows lights on either side of the range, in addition to the two lights in the hood itself. |
"He gets like a bear trapped in a net over this topic and always thinks I want too much light." Too much light? There's no such thing! Well, not quite, but DW and I like well lit rooms. Besides, isn't that what dimmers are for?;-) There are shallow recessed light cans available that may work for you. Maybe like a 4" recessed LED light. We have one above our sink and it puts out a good amount of light even with our 9 ft ceilings. |
deedles, when I said cable lights, I really don't know if that's an accurate description. Here's a not very good quality photo of what I'm talking about. I only included the people to give the room some scale. Her ceiling is vaulted and has those wonderful beams, so I guess she has a lot more overhead space to work with. The lights are over the island. |
Deedles - we did can lights but had to modify locations due to the ceiling structure, so not symmetrical but love having lots of light. We also have decorative lighting and since we have uppers -we also have UCL. You can never have too much light in the kitchen as long as you have switches and dimmers. |
We used the disk lights LEDs from Home Depot, they fit in a standard 4" junction box. We love them and it solved a lot of issues we would have had trying to make room for cans. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Home depot disk lights
ctycdm: I took a look at yours and that looks great. I'm open to a small track with small lights. Badger: I do like the freejacks... was looking at techlighting after the suggestion above. They are $$ though. lucas: will check those out, too. Are yours for task or for general lighting? a2: I agree about the lighting. I'd rather shut off what I don't need than not be able to turn on what isn't there, you know? |
Absolutely! It is easier to do now than later! Fortunately DH is in the same camp! I love my bright LED for working in the kitchen and my decorative Hubbardton forge for ambience. I would have loved some pendants but the only place I could do this would have been at the sink and my garden window prevented it. I into amoritizing over the life of the kitchen and then it doesn't sound so bad! Good luck- you need an Internet hug with all you are going through! |
Technically they are the general lighting but I've been using the kitchen for months now with no UCL and have been fine. Still going to do UCL but at this point it seems more decorative than anything. I will say though that I have 8' ceilings. Can't remember how high yours are. |

Has anybody ordered from this company recently? I've ordered from them only once, about 6 years ago, and was so disappointed with the poor quality of what they sent that I have never ordered from them again. I'm still on their mailing list and get their catalogs, and I'm being tempted by the most recent one. Have they cleaned up their act, or was this perhaps a one-time fluke?
BTW I've ordered from Brent & Becky's Bulbs numerous times and love them. I would only consider McClure & Zimmerman for something special that I can't find anywhere else. |

Like you, I gave up on them several years ago, due to poor quality, non-performing bulbs. After checking Dave's GardenWatchDog, it appears nothing has improved, as they have as many negative & neutral comments, as positive ones, during the past 12 months. I would not be inclined to order from them again. I also gave up on B&B Bulbs, as they seem to be a bit pricey and had problems obtaining shipments at agreed upon dates for some fund raising events. They confirmed the dates in writing and then totally ignored them, rescheduling the shipments 2 months later. I use Van Engelen/John Scheeper for major orders and for minor bulbs that aren't available from them, Touch of Nature and High Country Gardens. Have always been satisfied with their quality and outstanding service. |

Interesting :-) I do very little mail order, simply because I can get pretty much anything I want locally. And I tend to be very picky....I want to see what I get before I pay for it! However, there were a few odd bulbs that I couldn't locate easily that I did order from M&Z. I think maybe I've ordered from them three times over the last 10 years and everything has been just fine. I had no complaints and would order from them again if they had something I wanted I couldn't find nearby. |
- Posted by donnabaskets 7b-8 MS (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 9:28
I order from MZ at least once a year and have done so for a good ten years. I have always been pleased with what I have received and never had a problem, but once. Last year, I ordered Galtonia and one bulb in a pack of 3 was bad. They sent me an entire new pack. Couldn't ask for more than that. Last year, I ordered a few plants from them for the first time. They were quite small containers, but everything took right off. |
- Posted by diggindirt49 6 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 18:17
I ordered from MZ about 4 years ago. I wasn't pleased with the products and they were pricey. I do order most of my bulbs from the internet, and for the last three years I have been ordering my fall planted bulbs from Colorblends. They have a very good selection, excellent quality and wonderful customer service. |
I'm sort of done with M and Z as well, after a couple of years of trifling, tiny plants which cling to life, but only just. It is tempting to order from them, since they are one of the only sources for certain things (Pleione orchids, for instance, which were shipped far too late to be very successful, and one pitiful fan of Iris foetidissima, along with the supposedly concolor orange Gloriosa lily which turned out to be indistinguishable from the standard variety I've grown for years), but I'm going to be strong and pitch the catalog into the recycling bin this year. Maybe for more standard bulb fare they'd be okay, but I'm within thirty miles of Brent and Becky's, so they get that part of my business. |
M&Z is owned by Jung seeds if that means anything to you..... I've only ordered once from B&B's and had a similar complaint to others I've read about on Daves. They quoted me a total price on my merchandise which I paid and then months later charged my credit card again(without notifying me) when they decided that the shipping charges should be more. I didn't care for the unauthorized use of my credit card, told them so and was basically told by customer service "tough nuggies". What was really irritating is that they sent the wrong color on the bulbs I ordered and when I asked what could be done (too late to replant by then) they said they would refund the price of the bulbs, but NOT the shipping. |
McClure and Zimmerman specialize in bulbs. In general their bulbs are better than their plants and they offer many hard to get bulbs. I have had really good luck with their bulbs in the past and I like that they don't harvest (at least they claim they don't) from the wild. I have lived in many different zones and have ordered bulbs for all the zones in which I lived from them (MS, AZ, WY at a high altitude, Eastern WA). I plan on ordering from them again this year. The best bulbs that they offer are the species tulips, but I have gotten and planted lilies (in both MS and AZ) crocuses, colchicums, daffodils and irises. The only order that I ever had a problem with was one where I ordered the double bloodroot and they were shipped early for my zone (WY at a high altitude) and by the time I could plant were gone. As that was in part my fault, I felt that it was extremely nice of them to offer to replace the roots. |

CC Drop Deadline is Next Week: The Checklist

SEAS students – rejoice ! You have until November 15; then again – no P/D/F :(

After perusing Roxy's reviews this morning and laying eyes for the first time on the moth/butterfly/bird dress by Girls of Savoy she tried on, an audible "ooh" escaped my mouth and I felt my heart rate increase a smidgen. Whimsy? (I rubbed the morning crud out of my eyes). Is that whimsy I'm seeing? Fast as I could I clicked over to Anthro's new arrivals and found it: the whimsy factor. It's back. Whimsy mourners, mourn no more. How about these whimsy morsels to whet your appetite?
But the two new items I'm really loving?
I'm also really feeling this little ditty:
So what's your whimsy radar picking up so far this season? Have you been praying, waiting and hoping for a silk snail blouse? Or have you been holding out for a flamingo skirt all these years? I'm hoping this is just the tip of the whimsy iceberg for Anthro this season.
I broke out my sale purchase of the Glossed Loafers yesterday, after ordering them once having them fit WAY too snug, I returned and reordered them a half size bigger, with an extra 20% off the sale price because of a whoopsie on my order, courtesy of Anthro. I thought that was quite excellent of them. These shoes are quite comfy, quirky, and begging to be paired with so many pieces I can't even dream of pulling over my butt at the moment….all in due time. These shoes, in my opinion, have that understated whimsy about them that I love. High gloss patent leather, in a bright turquoise color, with a gold chain nodding to vintage? These are FUN shoes, right up the whimsy alley.
Here's hoping the Anthro Whimsy fest continues.
Happy Mondaying to you all.
xoxo Molly

Guide to Finals Week Fun
Make your finals week a little less rough with massages, pizza, furry friends and more!
No one likes finals. Not even the faculty. But sadly, they seem to be as inevitable as death and taxes. So while you're plugging away trying to figure out how to appropriately use that equation or describe the interplay between individuals along the gender spectrum with various holiday catalog ads remember to take a bit of a break. Here's your guide to the many different ways to help keep yourself sane this finals week.
The Green Bean always has specialty pastries during finals week to help you cope. Be sure to check out the Green Bean Facebook page to keep an eye on which pastries are coming which days. They will also be featuring various activities throughout the week including board games, coloring, and maybe even different quiet hours and loud hours to help create some collective focus or stress release.

Really sturdy cabinet and easy to put together. It fit perfectly into my daughter's bathroom. It looks well made, great price!
After the unit was assembled, I found that it was not very sturdy. I had to add a few woodscrews from the back to solidify it, and to satisfy myself.
The no tool required is overrated I had to use pipe clamps to pull the top down so the I could turn the locking mechanisms. Even with the pipe clamps, my fingers got very sore trying to turn the locking mechanisms. It did fit my needs so I kept it.
I was looking for storage for a 3/4 bath that had only a small vanity. I checked various physical and online stores before deciding on this one from Overstock.com. It is deeper than some of the others I had looked at which makes it perfect for storing towels.
Attractive piece that looks like something you might purchase at Pottery Barn for three times the price. Easy to assemble, but one of the locking screws didn't lock - however, it still seems to be strong enough. Nice heavy duty knobs - good quality. Holds a lot and is great for a small bathroom or wherever else you need storage.

Richy's make your own FREE paper pots
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
as far as the membrane goes, it all depends on how long you want your shed to last, if you don't mind replacing it in a couple of years then you could possibly get away with it, what about making up a frame of blocks, along where the supporting struts are so you have a small gap underneath the shed so the water doesn't come in contact with the wood. you also need to think about any dampness rising up and spoiling what you've got in the shed.also if you get in touch with your council, they often sell off old paving slabs (the big ones) really cheap I personally would go for slabs
richyrich7, if you do that then inside the shed where the roofs meet you will have to duck to get to the other side, unless I've misunderstood.

Seattle police detectives say they've unraveled a theft ring that operated both in cyberspace and through old-fashioned burglaries with a technological twist — breaking into a company with the sole purpose of installing malicious software to enable future thefts.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Don't be a victim
Officials offer the following tips to avoid being victimized by cyber-theft:
• Businesses should review their wireless system and confirm that they are using the appropriate level of encryption: WPA2 Personal or WPA Enterprise.
• Businesses should keep a record of all laptop computers and ensure that any computers with remote access are encrypted. Any missing laptop computers should have passwords and credentials replaced immediately.
• Businesses should be aware of hacking that can occur from physical access to the server room as well as from external sources.
• Employees should never click past security-certificate warning screens and should notify IT immediately if they encounter such a warning.
• Managers should be aware of "water cooler" talk among employees that may indicate a breach has occurred. This includes multiple employees complaining of fraud on personal accounts.
• If you notice suspicious activity, contact local law enforcement.

It took nearly three years, but Seattle police detectives say they've unraveled a theft ring that operated both in cyberspace and through old-fashioned burglaries with a technological twist — breaking into a company with the sole purpose of installing malicious software to enable future thefts.
Federal prosecutors have indicted three men — Joshua Allen Witt, 34; Brad Eugene Lowe, 36; and John Earl Griffin, 36 — on charges of conspiracy and eight other counts including accessing a protected computer to further fraud, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The 20-page indictment lays out a scheme that U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan on Wednesday said was "both sophisticated and rudimentary," and combined high technology with broken glass and jimmied locks.
The trio is accused of targeting at least 53 companies, with losses expected to mount into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"In some cases, the victims were both burgled and cyber-burgled," Durkan said at a news conference.
The indictment accused the men of "wardriving" — cruising in a vehicle outfitted with a powerful Wi-Fi receiver to detect business wireless networks. They then would hack into the company's network from outside, cracking the security code and accessing company computers and information.
In other cases, they would physically break into the company and install "malware" on a computer designed to "sniff out" passwords and security codes and relay that information back to the thieves.
They then would strike quickly by accessing company accounts with other businesses like Amazon.com or eBay and charging expensive items, or in some cases actually getting into a company's payroll.
In more than one instance, they would divert automatic payroll deposits to newly created bank accounts, load it onto debit cards and buy items like Rolex watches or engines for their cars.
"They were sophisticated in technology ... and livin' large," Durkan said.
Durkan said the victims ranged from high-tech firms to storefront retailers.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Warma said it was extremely difficult to pinpoint who was behind the intrusions. The first crimes occurred in 2008, she said, and while detectives pretty quickly figured out a single group was responsible, the suspects were only recently identified.
In the meantime, some innocent employees of the victim companies were suspected and questioned by police, Durkan said.
The arrests came after a string of burglaries in King County, in which all three men were charged in a lengthy state complaint filed in January that outlines the investigation and says that authorities have recovered stolen items during a series of searches of homes, cars and storage facilities in King County.
"Everything that makes it easy for us to do our business online makes it easy for them to commit crimes online," Durkan said.
At Wednesday's news conference, representatives from three of the victim businesses explained how they believed their networks were secure and how quickly the thefts occurred. All agreed to be named, but asked that their businesses not be identified.
Jeff Eby, the financial officer at a retail company, said two burglaries in 2008 seemed relatively routine enough and were reported to police. The only things taken, he said, were a couple of old laptops.
About a month later, he said, his company network suffered an intrusion that he learned about only when he came into work to find an unscheduled payroll printout on his printer. Suspicious, he reviewed the document to find that someone was attempting to add two new employees and divert their pay to bank accounts in North Dakota. The payroll was automatically printed as the program was being used.
Alec Fishburne said his software company, in a secure high rise, was likely hacked in 2008 by someone accessing the network from somewhere in the same building. Not only did they conduct transactions with other businesses, but they also changed the routing codes on some employees' direct-deposit accounts and diverted their pay to other accounts.
Another businessman, Mark Houtchenn, said the thieves "took tens of thousands of dollars" and stole the identities of almost all of his 14 employees.
"It's been a pain in the neck, if not quite a bit lower," he said.

Is it possible to save some money by purchasing component parts separately for an LED or halogen single pendant light? Component parts seem to be: shade with socket, cord and canopy. For example, the cord set with adapter for a Juno pendant costs $77.45! This does not even include the canopy with transformer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it is cheaper to purchase the parts someone at Juno messed up badly. Are you sure you are getting ALL the parts? |

Facebook Home Hits the Google Play Store
by Dale WrightFacebook has pushed forward with its plans to make mobile Facebook use more interactive.
Its new Android app, Facebook Home, has just been released for Android smartphones in the UK.
Facebook Home replaces the old Facebook app and makes chat a more prominent part of the user experience. In addition, the new Home app takes over much of the phone's interface, including the lock screen, and acts as a fancy launcher. In addition, new 'Chat Heads' pop up when messages are received, and the Facebook app is more tightly integrated with the phone's own SMS message inbox.
Facebook has announced its own Android smartphone, the HTC First, which runs the new Facebook Home app out of the box, but anyone with an Android phone can install it.
On iOS, Facebook has also updated its Facebook app to include some of the same features. However, Apple's operating system doesn't give developers the same amount of control over the device, so it's not possible for Facebook to take over the entire phone with their app. But the new version of the Facebook app does feature Chat Heads in a more limited capacity. Users can also buy emoticons ('Stickers') for chats – a throwback to the old Facebook virtual gift system which was phased out three years ago.
Facebook's ultimate goal is to improve the relevance of its mobile advertising, according to Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer. She insists that Facebook isn't trying to push more ads into its apps, but that could still mean that the ads we're already seeing may become more prominent. With Facebook Home, the company could potentially push adverts to your lock screen, for example – something which many users might be uncomfortable with.
The new Facebook Home app is out now for Android, and the new version of the Facebook app for iOS is on the Apple App Store now. Google has confirmed that it won't block Facebook Home, but it remains to be seen whether users actually want Facebook to dominate their lives more than it does already.

Feeding your mind, saving the planet >>
The Mississippi River is alive again here as it flows through the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Once again, this urban river runs clear and its waters are a world-class fishery for walleye, sauger and small and largemouth bass.
Despite all the attention being paid to the farm bill by political candidates, the coming elections are not likely to be decided by agricultural policy positions. In the run-up to Election Day, you might think rural voters were looking for someone to blame for Congress' failure to pass a farm bill.
In May 2009, Steve Ruh, who was then chair of the National Corn Growers Association's Ethanol Committee, called corn ethanol the "most environmentally friendly fuel available today."
Americans are eating their weight and more in genetically engineered food every year, a new Environmental Working Group analysis shows.
Compared to the billions that the government pays to subsidize industrial-scale growers of commodity crops such as corn, rice and soybeans, federal farm bill spending to promote cultivation and marketing of healthy fruits, nuts and vegetables is tiny. The Specialty Crop Block Grant (SCBG) program is one of the more important programs to support these healthy foods, known also as "specialty crops".
Consumers are asking important and legitimate questions about what they are eating and feeding to their children.
Corn ethanol boosters held yet another pep rally today (Sept. 27) for a dirty, inefficient fuel that has eliminated jobs, increased the price of food and gas, damaged engines and increased pollution. Yet it has replaced less than 1 percent of world oil.
Speaker Boehner was right to put a fork – a pitchfork – in one of the worst pieces of farm and food legislation in decades.
The Food and Environmental Reporting Network released a striking report this week (Sept. 18) describing how industrial agriculture and climate change are fueling massive blooms of toxic algae:
There's nothing to make you feel like a dope like a bunch of experts telling you you're wasting your money by buying organic food. And after the recent review of the issue by Stanford University scientists made national headlines – with CBS Newsdeclaring that "organic food is hardly healthier" – I even got tough questions at home about why I'm spending our much-in-demand money on organics.
Tomorrow (Wed., Sept. 12), lobbyists for subsidized agriculture will hold a rally on Capitol Hill to urge Congress to pass a farm bill – any farm bill, even the terrible one produced by the House Agriculture Committee.
Guaranteeing a clean and ample supply of water should be at the core of our energy policy. Sometimes Washington seems to have forgotten that. But a recent survey shows that the American people have not.
Are you looking for ideas for healthy, affordable and brown-bag-ready lunches? As kids head back to school, the Environmental Working Group wants to help you get the year started right.
Environmental Working Group's researchers have created Good Food on a Tight Budget, a science-based shopping guide of the top 100 foods that are healthy, cheap, clean and green. Here are the files for our webinar.
The Environmental Working Group's new food guide can help. The guide shows shoppers how to manage their grocery costs while reducing their exposure to toxic chemicals and rediscovering the savory pleasures of nutritious stews, soups and salads.
The Environmental Working Group has always urged people to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, organic or conventional – and we always will. A diet heavy in produce and light in processed foods, red meat and soda could well help you live a longer, healthier life.
High crop prices and unlimited crop insurance subsidies contributed to the loss of more than 23 million acres of grassland, shrub land and wetlands between 2008 and 2011, new research by Environmental Working Group and Defenders of Wildlife shows.
In the face of crippling drought across the Corn Belt, Congress is considering funding a disaster aid package with cuts to climate friendly conservation programs. Even as extreme drought wreaks havoc on crops and communities across the Midwest, government officials are now confident that they can link recent bouts of extreme weather to man-made climate change.
The one-year extension of the farm bill likely to come up on the House floor this week would perpetuate funding for the worst aspects of American farm policy and would cut funding for the best.
Last fall, House and Senate Agriculture Committee leaders tried to insert a "secret farm bill" in the super committee's un-amendable deficit reduction package. They failed. Now some of those same leaders are trying to evade a floor vote by the full House by extending the current law for a year, as a pretense to negotiate a five-year farm bill with the Senate, which has already passed its version of the $1 trillion bill.

Pets at Our Shelter:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Central Iowa and beyondAbout Our Shelter:
The Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) is Iowa's largest nonprofit animal shelter, caring for many thousands of pets each year. The ARL serves people and pets from across the state of Iowa through its programs, which include pet adoption, humane education, pet behavior training, spay/neuter, animal cruelty intervention and much more.History
The ARL has grown dramatically since its founding in 1926 expanding its programs that serve both people and homeless animals across Iowa. The most obvious growth is the number of animals the ARL provides shelter and care for each year. Intakes have increased annually from a few thousand animals a decade ago to over 17,000 animals in 2012.
Other areas of growth include the ARL's programs designed specifically to address the reasons animals end up in shelters, including spay/neuter, behavior training, and humane education programs. The ARL's positive reinforcement training program has expanded to offer year-round classes, as well as free behavior advice for dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets. The shelter continues to spay and neuter all dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and pigs that are adopted from our shelter.
In addition to the animals that come through the ARL's doors, the ARL also serves the people of Iowa through its many services.
To promote animal welfare, strengthen the human-animal bond, and prevent the overpopulation of pets.

Our Adoption Process:
The Adoption ProcessSteps in the Adoption Process:
Find a pet online or through an ARL media spotlight.
Visit the ARL adoption location where your potential pet is located and meet the pet.
Fill out an adoption application form to find out if the pet is the right match for you and your family-both other human and dogs living in the home, if applicable. (You can NOT adopt via the website.)
Complete an interview with an ARL adoption counselor.
Meet & Greet: If there are children living in the home, they must meet before being adopted. If there are other dogs living in the home, a dog intro is recommended.
Wait while the pet receives a final inspection by the ARL's medical staff, including insertion of a microchip.
Pay adoption fees and head home with your new, lovable pet!
Note: The ARL may require other information or steps be taken prior to adoption to insure the pet is a right match for your family. The ARL reserves the right to deny any adoption for any reason.
ARL Adoption Requirements
You Must...
Be at least 18 years old.
Make sure all the adults living in your household know about the pet and agree that it can live there.
Introduce the pet to the other humans (and possibly other pets) living in your household prior to completion of the adoption.
Have a valid identification with your current address.
Understand that no animals will be adopted for consumption or research. The ARL only adopts animals as family pets.
Special Notice Regarding ARL pets online:
The ARL updates its adoptable animals online daily and attempts to promptly remove pets that are no longer available. However, please be aware that we cannot guarantee that all animals posted are still available for adoption.
NO pets will be 'reserved' or 'held' for individuals who call or e-mail the ARL. Please understand that we must follow this rule so that if someone is at the ARL and desires to adopt a pet, they will be given the opportunity to do so. "First Come, First Adopt."

Similarly, though the Pets for the Elderly Foundation (PFE), when an individual age 60 or older adopts a cat or dog of any age from the ARL, the adoption fee is just $50! Purina and the PFE Foundation believe in the positive power of pet companionship for seniors so they have partnered with the ARL to make pet-ownership more affordable! These programs are only available while the funds last, so hurry in to any ARL location or view the pets available for adoption to fall in love with a new cat or dog! Please note: the standard application process still applies to this adoption program. Click here to view the Pets for Seniors program coupon!
Take two and you won't need to call us in the morning! The Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) has historically recommended and promoted the adoption of two cats or kittens. The ARL has done this because we believe it is emotionally healthy for cats and kittens to have feline friends and have found some behavior issues can easily be solved or never occur with the addition of two cats or kittens to a household.Therefore, the ARL has started the "Happy Cat Prescription Program" - a specialized program that promotes two cat or kitten adoptions.
Here is how it works:
An adopter can adopt any two cats or kittens for an adoption fee of $125. Both cats and kittens must reside in the same household and adoption contracts will state that the adopters agree that the cats/kittens will live together in the same house. Adoption counselors will help adopters to make these matches of cats under the Happy Cat program. Costs are based on an average of prices quoted for similar services by several local veterinarian clinics. Click here for more information. The services provided by the Animal Rescue League are in no way intended to be a substitution for regular, professional veterinary care. A list of veterinarians in your area will be provided by your adoption counselor.
Introducing the ARL's newest adoption campaign: Paws for Patriots! Starting 11-11-11 (Veteran's Day), all U.S. Veterans are eligible to receive 50% off adoptions and 50% off ARL dog training classes! Thank you to all who have served our country! (This program will continue indefinitely.) Click here for more information!

International Students
It is important to note that while international students are eligible for all types of University grants, scholarships and assistantships, federal student loans are available only to students who are US citizens or permanent residents. Alternative funding may be available to international students via private sources in the form of loans or other awards. We strongly encourage you to carefully investigate these sources of funding before making a final decision.
After you have been accepted in a program of study, all international students are required to provide a confidential Certification of Finances to identify sufficient funding for your education before an I-20 will be issued. An I-20 must be obtained from Clarkson University before you may apply for a visa to enter the United States for educational purposes.

With new smartphones offering increasingly impressive spec lists, it can be difficult to choose which smartphone is the best. Devices which have hit the market in 2013 include the HTC One, Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S4, with each model boasting of higher levels of processing power than their nearest rivals.
While each phone offers impressive attributes, Phones Review has recently reported on a benchmark test carried out on seven of the highest spec smartphones on the market. The test was carried out by a popular consumer advice publication Which?, in order to find out which model offers the best performance when it comes to processing power.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 came out in first position, thanks to its powerful 1.9 GHz quad-core processor. In last place, was Apple's popular iPhone 5. While this device remains one of the most popular smartphones on the market, its processing power is considerably less than that of Samsung's flagship device, with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. After the Galaxy S4, was the HTC One in second place, followed by the Sony Xperia Z, Google Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Blackberry Z10 respectively. Visit our website for the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S4 deals in the UK, along with more info on the Samsung GalaxyS4.
The results of the test ranked each smartphone model on memory and performance, and saw the Galaxy S4 achieve a score of 3188. In second place was the HTC One, with a score of 2798, demonstrating the considerable lead the Samsung Galaxy S4 has over its nearest rival. To demonstrate the difference between the Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5, Apple's flagship device only achieved a score of 1664.
While the results of the test demonstrate that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is by far the most powerful handset on the market, consumers would be unlikely to notice a difference in performance in real world use. However, the results of the test cement the reputation of the Samsung Galaxy S4 as the highest performing smartphone model available.

Derrick, recently returned in a sustained manner to the blogosphere, has stirred up the waters with a post (rightly) critiquing Christian hipster and coffeehouse favorite author, Donald Miller on the issue of theology, relationship, and the knowledge of God. Miller, for his part seems to have responded, both via blog and tweet.
Derrick, of course, is right, at least in my judgment. The problem with contrasting "theological" pursuit with "relational" encounter with God is that it fails to see how utterly theological realtionality is. There is no such thing as some sort of "bare relation" that does involve theological reflection. Indeed, on this point I'll go out and surprise all of you by saying that Milbank is absolutely right, everything is theological, whether it is acknowledge or not.
Of course Milbank wasn't the first to come up with that, but still.
P.S. If you want something deeper and more interesting than Donald Miller critique, though I suggest Derrick's most recent post on deification and ontology in Maximus the Confessor.

The viral trend began Sept. 12, 2012, when four Queen's University students, Rachel Albi, Erica Gagné, Jess Jonker and Amanda Smurthwaite, returned from summer break, depressed by their workload. "We wanted to make a difference at our school in a positive way," says Albi, whose sister inspired her by doing something similar at her high school. So the friends created a Facebook profile for anonymous compliments. Students email praise for friends or strangers to the page administrators, who then post them to the page without identifying the senders.
Albi adds, "We wanted to make Queen's a happier campus and just remind everyone to treat others kindly." The Flatter-4, as I call them, didn't just make Queen's a happier campus; they made Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and at least 112 other schools happier too, because the idea spread. It's all part of a kindness virus.
I first wrote about this social contagion some months back. In the column, "How social media is increasing social good," Richard Janda, a professor at the Faculty of Law of McGill University and co-author of a book on corporate social responsibility, explains this is a phenomenon of swarming. "The Internet helps us to gauge or measure our reactions relative to those of others. It does this by allowing us to see and count how many others are swarming to what I like."
He notes that we need to know others are doing so as well, so that our willingness to contribute gains collective significance.
In a year in which we've had so many vile acts against humanity, we've also had an increase in the need for good and an increase in grace that invites us to restore our faith in humanity. Just look at how #26Acts of kindness spread around the Web in honour of the 26 Newtown victims.
As another example, a simple act of kindness can be found on Wilfred Laurier University's compliments Facebook page (www.facebook.com/wlu). An anonymous female extended a compliment to Nicole Kuindersma that read: "Now to you, I'm just a stranger, but to me, you're the reason I'm still here today ... "
The commenter explained her story: She got caught in the rain with her sister and Kuindersma ran across the street to offer them her umbrella. What Kuindersma didn't know is that the sisters were returning from their mother's funeral. Had it not been for that kind act that restored the rain-soaked girl's faith in humanity, she said would have followed through with plans to kill herself that evening.
Other comments on these pages read more like eulogies than the generic "love your hair," or "pretty dress" posts we're used to. And that's the thing. Why wait until someone is dead to say how you feel? In the few words it takes to make your New Year's resolution, why not take a few words to say it forward and maybe make someone else's day - or year.

Apple certainly dominated the headlines over the past week, but it wasn't the only company with something to say. Let's take a look at the rest of the tech world.
The five-year-old feature, which lists your voicemails in easy-to-digest form, was previously only available on O2.

From smartphones, to headsets, headphones, and laptops, bonding all your Bluetooth devices into one useful personal network is not only possible but a great idea too.
