Clearbrook City Hall and Community Center achieved energy savings and enhanced comfort from its recent energy upgrades.
Aims and objectives. The City of Clearbrook City Hall and Community Center building was built in phases during 1953 and 1964. The 19,000 square-foot structure houses the City Hall and associated offices, the Police Department, the American Legion, the City Council chambers, and a community recreation space. The city decided to pursue an energy savings rehabilitation project to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of the building.
Implementation. The upgrades included increasing the insulation value of the roof sections to R-30 and insulating the previously uninsulated walls with spray foam to R-20. The single pane windows (1,120 square feet) were replaced with high efficient units. Also, several inefficient windows (about 700 square feet) were replaced with insulated wall.
"With the grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, it was financially feasible for Clearbrook to insulate and install new energy efficient windows in our community center, which is the old school building in town," said Dan Johnson, Clearbrook's natural gas superintendent. "The saving of 60 percent a year on our natural gas heating load allows the city to keep the history of the old school building around for future generations."
Outcomes--energy saved, CO2 reduced, comfort enhanced. Comparing the baseline year 2010, before the upgrades were finalized, to 2012, when the project was completed, the building's electric use decreased 19 percent and natural gas use decreased 60 percent (see figures 1 and 2). Because of these savings, the building's energy-related CO2 emissions have been reduced by 39 percent.
The Minnesota B3 Benchmarking ratio for the building now stands at 78 percent, meaning it uses about 20 percent less energy than if it were a new building built to current energy codes.
Annual electric consumption
Figure 1. This chart from the Minnesota B3 Benchmarking database shows City Hall and Community Center electrical savings.
Figure 2. The chart above shows the actual natural gas use on the red bars and what the consumption would have been without the energy improvements on the dashed line. The dashed line is a projection of the 2010 (pre-project) energy use that has been normalized to account for weather variations. The consumption shown in 2012 is 60 percent below the base year of 2010.
Annual CO2 emissions
Figure 3. This B3 Benchmarking chart shows CO2 reductions of 36 percent from 2010 to 2012.
Building envelope improvements of wall and roof insulation and window replacement are often a challenge to justify economically based on energy savings alone. But when you factor in added benefits such as enhanced occupant comfort, improved worker productivity, and the elimination of potential mold problems on cold surfaces—benefits that are hard to quantify in dollar figures—then the project looks much better.
Productivity gains? For instance, it's hard to measure the effect of a building's improved comfort and aesthetics on worker performance. But research on building retrofits suggests that improving the energy efficiency of a building can result in gains in worker productivity, as well as generate energy cost savings. According to a literature review by the Institute for Building Efficiency, studies demonstrate that comprehensive energy efficiency improvements as well as single-measure upgrades (such as improved lighting, temperature control, air quality, and comfort) can substantially increase productivity. Productivity gains are rarely factored into the financial return-on-investment calculations for energy efficiency upgrades, because productivity gains are difficult to measure.
Documenting results. Clearbrook is able to quantify its savings via Minnesota B3 Benchmarking. The Minnesota B3 Benchmarking tool is available for all state, local government, and public school buildings. To add your building to this database, go to the B3 website and click on "Contact Us."
Funding: The cost of Clearbrook project was $302,000, with nearly half of the project cost ($150,000) covered by an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) provided by the Minnesota Department of Commerce and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Resources for local government projects. Cities and other public institutions seeking energy efficiency improvements are encouraged to consult with the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources (DER) and their local utilities. DER provides technical support to local government units, state agencies, school districts, and institutions of higher learning that are seeking energy efficiency and renewable energy measures. Contact DER to discuss which of its energy efficiency programs can be of help.
Utility representatives can help assess opportunities for efficiency and identify rebates to help finance projects. Utilities in Minnesota are mandated to achieve an annual energy savings of 1.5 percent of annual retail energy sales. Energy improvement projects such as Clearbrook's help achieve that energy savings requirement.
The U.S. Department of Energy provides helpful resources for building retrofits, including "The Advanced Energy Retrofit Guide for Office Buildings." For more on energy efficiency, including information on Minnesota's B3 Benchmarking tool, contact the DER Information Center at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800-657-3710.

Production is at record levels. Doesn't this prove the success of shale gas?
No. Shale wells produce their greatest quantity of gas in the first year of production. It then typically drops off quite significantly and never regains its former levels. So it is logical that we are at record capacity at present since thousands of new shale wells have been drilled only in the last few years, all of which are producing their greatest quantity at the beginning of their lives.
The more important question to ask is whether shale wells can sustain adequate levels of production without resort to a frenzy of additional drilling. Looking at production histories of the older US plays, it can be seen that these plays cannot keep production at prior levels. The wells decline too quickly.
A good example of this can be seen by comparing the Barnett play to the younger Haynesville play. The Haynesville surpassed the Barnett in total production over a year ago in spite of the fact that there are 15,000 producing wells in the Barnett and only 1,500 in the Haynesville. So ten times the number of wells cannot keep production above the the levels seen in the younger Haynesville play.
Has economic stability been as good as operators promised?
No. In the Barnett shale region of North Texas, median household income increased in Texas by 21.2% for the period 2003-2010 (U.S. Census Bureau, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics). In the four counties, however, which constitute the "core" area of the Barnett play, median household income increased only an average of 14%, significantly lower than the state average of 21.2%.
Further, during the same period, there was an increase in the average unemployment rate for the same four "core" counties of 2%. This is higher than the state average of 1.5%.
And finally, the poverty level increased in percentage terms in those same four "core" drilling counties.
Is this peculiar to Texas? No. In PA, the StandardSpeaker reports similar trends:
"Shale-gas development also had minimal impact on Susquehanna County income, even though the region is among the state's most-heavily drilled. The county's average income decreased from 2008 to 2010, its unemployment rose by 3.2 percentage points and poverty increased from 2000 to 2010."
These are statistics from two of the most heavily drilled areas of the country.
How many jobs have been created?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the low point of direct industry employment in the oil and gas extraction sector which includes all workers in oil and gas and not merely those employed by shale extraction, occurred in 2003 with approximately 118,000 jobs. Between 2003 and 2011, job growth in the sector amounted to about 56% to reach 186,000 jobs by yearend 2011. But this merely constitutes a net gain of 67,900 jobs over nearly a decade. To put this into perspective, this job creation amounted to 1/20th of 1% of overall employment figures in the US. There are currently 12.8 million unemployed. A growth of 67,900 jobs in the entire oil and gas sector, onshore and offshore, during a period of self-proclaimed "game changing", "revolutionary" activity in the natural gas markets demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that jobs creation is overhyped to the extreme.
We hear a lot of talk about a 100 year supply of gas. Is this true?
When people refer to a 100 year supply of gas they are referring to resource numbers rather than reserves. Resources are the potential amount of all gas that exists in a play. But that does not necessarily mean that it is available. Some of this gas, for instance, may exist in such small pockets that it will never be viable to extract it.
The Society of Petroleum Engineers defines reserves as as "potentially recoverable but not yet mature enough for commercial development due to technological or business hurdles."
This is why the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has downgraded the reserve estimates for the Marcellus by 80% with the Department of Energy confirming that the entire Marcellus play will only provide a mere 6 years worth of gas at current consumption rates. They estimated reserves that are potentially recoverable using today's technology and today's business climate. It is also interesting to note that the USGS was invited to
assess Poland and India's reserves. Poland slashed its reserve estimates by 85%. Industry had origianlly announced the incredible figures of 300-2100 Tcf for India's shale potential. The USGS revised thesse numbers down to 6.1 Tcf which Indian officials referred to as a "significant" revision.
Prior erroneous estimates in each country were provide by industry.
Are reserve independently verified?
No. Und the new rule change for Oil and Gas, the SEC has allowed the operators to expand the definition of reserves to include what are called proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) and they do not have to be independently verified. This is controversial because investors simply have to take the operators word for it that the reserves exist and are viable. This, of course, is problematic as the operators have a significant financial incentive to make such claims.
If shale is not viable, why are the Majors buying up assets?
Natural gas prices are indexed to crude prices in most of the world. Crude prices hit record highs in 2011 which drove the price of natural gas up in global markets. While Americans currently pay about $3/mcf, the Chinese are paying approximately $16 for the same amount of gas. So operators can extract, pipe and ship the gas to Asian markets for about $9/mcf total and get paid $16 for it. This is a substantial and lucrative spread.

How can I laminate two butcher blocks to make a bigger one? The strength isn't a big issue because they will be fastened to the cabinet from underneath.
What glue do you recommend? When I clamp it down it will squeeze the glue out, I need to clean it up but I want to apply a finish so I don't want glue residue to be visible. In shop class we had the luxary of planing the laminated boards afterwards but it's not an option here, maybe some sanding in the grove will remove most of the glue residue so it would not stand out when finish is applied? (likely I will be using waterLox) |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's not clear to me whether you're gluing one on top of the other to make the block thicker, which is what's usually meant by the term "laminating," or if you want to glue them together edge-to-edge to make a larger surface. Assuming the latter, I would use a water-resistant carpenters' glue like Titebond II. After it dries, you can clean up the squeezeout with sandpaper and/or a cabinet scraper. The two edges are unlikely to align perfectly during the glueup, so you'll be scraping and/or sanding anyhow. When you attach it to the cabinet, be sure to do so in such a way that it can expand and contract a little across the grain without doing damage. |
Hi, I am joining 2 25" wide boards to cover the kitchen island. Thanks, so I leave the squeeze and clean up after it sets up, don't wipe it off when the glue is wet? Does the glue you mentioned dries very clear? Can you explain the last part about the expansion, do I want to slot the cabinet screw holes on the bottom of one of the piece so that it can move? By across the grain meaning perpendicular to the end grain? |
You can wipe off most of glue while it's wet if you like. Use a slightly damp sponge, but don't flood the area with a lot of water or you'll weaken the joint. The glue I mentioned dries yellow, but if your glue line is tight then it will be invisible. If your glue line is not tight then you shouldn't expect the bond to hold very well. I'm not sure what 'perpendicular to the end grain' means, so I'll just say that a board changes width, but stays the same length. You'll probably be screwing up through the top of the cabinet and into the butcherblock, so make some of the holes in the cabinet top oversize. A plank 50" wide could easily be 3/8" wider during the most humid part of the year than it is during the driest part. If you use normal-sized holes at the middle of the island (close to your glue joint) and make the holes towards the front and back of the island oversize (use a washer to keep the screw from pulling through the cabinet) and don't overtighten those outermost screws, you should be fine. |
If the butcher block has the end grain facing up, then it'll want to expand in both length and width. So washers and oversized holes would probably be good. Applying finish to all sides after the glue has dried etc. will help slow moisture uptake and movement. If you have access to a biscuit joiner, biscuits will help with alignment during glue up. (As an added plus, there's a mechanical connection, too.) Failing that, clamping blocks that bridge the gap (but don't touch the glue) can squeeze the two surfaces close. (I think that was a tip in a very recent fine woodworking.) Personally, I don't wipe off the glue squeezeout right away. I'll wait until it's about 8 hours old (Titebond II) and then knock off the congealed glue with a scraper. That's just preference... Make sure you don't have any finish on the edges you're gluing. That'll mess up the glue. And I'd try and get a screw or two in on an angle to keep the top together if the glue fails. |

hi, I am doing pretty much the same thing and have several questions also. I am putting 3 boards together that are 27" long and 8.5 inches wide. They are 1.5" thick. I had planned on using a biscuit joiner to put the boards together. what is the best way to do this? glue 2 boards and clamp them, then wait a few days and add the last board? or do them all at once and clamp them all down? I will use the glue that was mentioned before. I am planning on sanding and adding waterlox after I join the boards. I am confused on how to add to my counter. It is going over my dishwasher, so I put a pice of 1/2" plywood over the dishwasher. I plan on screwing the butcher block into the plywood from underneath. I understand the wood will expand and contract, but I dont understand oversized holes. can someone explain this please? thanks in advance! Paul |
Paul, Oversized holes are pretty simple. I'd do one regular screw at the back, close to the side that shouldn't move. For the rest of them, drill 1/2" holes in the plywood, use a good sized washer on the screws, and screw into the block approximately in the middle of that 1/2" hole. Especially in a dishwasher setting, apply some kind of a primer to the plywood (even in the 1/2" holes, if you want to be really thorough). Glue your boards up all in one shot. (The glue isn't going to set so quickly that you'll have a problem.) When you've done all your biscuit cutting, dry fit the whole thing with biscuits and draw a big triangle on one side. That'll help you align and make sure you didn't flip anything around when gluing. Your phrase "clamp them all down" is a little unnerving... you should be clamping across. Alternate clamps top and bottom to prevent bowing. |
- Posted by paulflyboy (My Page) on Fri, Oct 10, 08 at 14:55
nigel, Thanks for the explanation! the lightbulb just went off after you described it. I would have never figured that out without your help. ok, i will glue all at one time. Yea I realized later that I shouldn't have said "clamp down". I meant clamp together. Good tip on the alternating top and bottom clamps, I wouldn't have thought of that either! Thanks for the help! It is great to know there is a forum around where you can go and get awesome advice when your new at stuff! paul |
If you're really concerned with glue squeezeout, before you edge glue the two sections together run a length of blue painters tape along the top edge of each board. Any squeezeout will end up on the painters tape and not the wood. As already mentioned, biscuits will help and Titebond II is fine. If the adjacent boards are quartersawn and vertical grain, great. If flat sawn, any overall cupping of the top can be minimized by alternating the grain of adjacent planks, one up, the next down, the next up, etc. In other words, when looking at the grain on the end of the board, on one board the grain is "smiling", on the next it's "frowning", then smiling, etc. Before you screw down the countertop, finish the bottom like you're finishing the top. If you waterlox the top, waterlox the bottom. It'll stabilize it and minimize unequalized wood movement. Mongo |
Will this biscuit jointer do the job? It's a little one http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00917550000P |
Here is a link that might be useful: craftsman detail biscuit jointer

Save your money. If this is for only one job, I'd forget the biscuit joiner or have someone cut the joints for you. If you have a table saw, you can accomplish the same with a spline joint. But neither is necessary. I'm of the camp of as much glue as necessary but as little as possible. What I am looking for is little sweat beads of glue at the joint. I let it gel up then peel off with a sharp chisel. But I would warn you that two 25" wide boards is likely to cause you cupping and warping problems. |
What about 25" wide + 12" which is the width I am looking for? Length is 45" only. Is it really that unstable? |
If you are using two smaller cutting boards they usualy have a beveled edge around the perimeter. If thats the case youll need to have them run through a good table saw to get rid of the bevel. I would not do it withour biscuits and watch when you clamp you want tight but not so tight you crush the wood with the clamps. You should put some scraps between the clamps. |
Use the same fasteners used to join particle board for kitchen counters. They can be cut into the underside of the counter and use nuts and threaded shafts to pull the joint together. |

I know this is serious business and we're not supposed to laugh. But we are after all Newfoundlanders. Chortle as we might, it is simply not possible to ignore the hilarity of this keystone kop buffoonery. Surely before long it will be another surreal episode of Republic of Doyle or at least a good sketch on 22 Minutes. Says one officer "It was now becoming a very dangerous gunfight with him". In fairness, to qualify as a gunfight, I think you need to return fire. No one wants to prejudge the outcome of the trial. That's up to the judge and jury. But having spent $500,000 of our tax dollars closing the barn door after the horse had gone and literally destroying someone's home, you have to question whether all other options were exhausted before spending another half-million or more in court costs. Maybe the whole trial should be televised so that we could recoup our investment from the residuals.

The situation should have been handled differently, too many Rambos!! What an embarrasment for the force with all the ??specially trained and in the end Mr. Crockwell was caught by a phone call from ordinary citizens who told the police where he was. It's terrible for a senior citizen to have their home destroyed in this manner and kept out of the home for so long. This is very shameful!!

This man should not be in court, plain and simple. He needs help. As to the fiasco in Bay Bulls, the police should have handled it differently. Seems like they have been watching too much TV. Certainly there was no need to practically destroy the house especially when Mr. Crockwell was long gone.

It seems that no matter how much I water (set sprinkler the other night for over an hour, and already the containers are bone dry. so dry they are pulling away from the sides, needless to say the strawberries I have in there are all dying.
I just cant water these 3 beds every day, so I guess I'm going to come up with another plan. Any suggestions? My mix is a combo of compost, potting mix, perlite, and spagnum peat moss. |

Did you soak your peat moss before you mixed it in? That stuff tends to need to be totally saturated to do it's job right. |
I guess I should have added that this is NOT a new bed, it's 2 years in use now. And I did add more compost and potting mix before planting this year. I'm considering moving it all out and starting over. |
- Posted by greenbean08 5 CO (My Page) on Fri, Jul 3, 09 at 21:56
You might try giving it a thorough watering (make sure it's moist down in the root zone) and mulching with something that will break down prety easily like straw, shredded leaves, etc. Maybe that will help hold the moisture in. |

rjinga, my beds are drying out very fast as well with this heat and humidity. I can only imagine it's worse in middle GA. Perhaps it's just going to be a summer thing? |
- Posted by dan_staley USDA 5/S 2b (My Page) on Sat, Jul 4, 09 at 10:58
I'm with greenbean. If you are overhead watering, switch to a soaker hose or something and mulch. Dan |
tabor and i filled all of the beds with straw, and the bottom of them are staying moist, but of course, we have been throwing worms in there all the time. LOL we go out and turn over logs, rocks and whatever we can to find them. in the winter, i'm going to add the cornmeal to the beds so they will make lots of babies!! (in the spring) LOL of course this all in my mind, how it will work!! **grin** LOL |

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS-Grammy-award winning performer Taj Mahal has been added to the Red Ants Pants Festival lineup, joining other headliners Emmylou Harris and Mary Chapin Carpenter July 26-29.
Over a career spanning nearly 50 years, Taj Mahal has won two Grammies and earned nine Grammy nominations. He was one of the first major recording artists to fuse blues with world music, including rhythms from the Caribbean and West Africa. His music, which is constantly evolving, blends elements of reggae, calypso, jazz, zydeco, and gospel.
In the 1960s, Taj mingled with blues greats like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters and opened for famed artists such as Otis Redding, the Temptations and Martha and the Vandellas. Today, Taj's music continues to influence a generation of recording artists.
This is the second year for the music festival, which is organized by Red Ants Pants, the first-ever company dedicated to manufacturing workwear for women.
The festival takes place in a cow pasture on the Jackson Ranches outside White Sulphur Springs, and kicks off with a street dance on Thursday, July 26. The concert performances start at 4 p.m., Friday, July 27, and run through Sunday evening.
A three-day weekend pass is $115 in advance and $130 at the gate. A one-day pass is $45 in advance and $50 at the gate. Camping is $10 per person and the wristband is good from Thursday through Sunday nights. Camping passes are only available on site (there will be enough room for everyone).
There will be a free shuttle between White Sulphur Springs and the concert venue, which is three miles away.
Tickets are available now at Cactus Records in Bozeman, Rockin' Rudy's in Missoula, No Sweat Café in Helena, Forde Nursery in Great Falls, Red Oxx in Billings, Conley's Books in Livingston, and Red Ants Pants in White Sulphur Springs. Cash and check only. Online tickets and more info is available on the festival website: http://redantspantsmusicfestival.com.
Performers include: Emmylou Harris and the Red Dirt Boys; Wylie and the Wild West; Mary Chapin Carpenter; Corb Lund; Taj Mahal; Sweetback Sisters; Justin Townes Earle; Wagons; Rodney Crowell; Jeanne Jolly; Billy Joe Shaver; Growling Old Men; Hayes Carll; Ben Bullington; Abigail Washburn; Little Jane and the Pistol Whips

I am up to date with shots and good with cats.
Rescued 8 weeks old tabby kitten is looking for forever home. The kitten loves to play and handle. She is using the litter box and eating small kibble kitten food.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
tabby girl, a Etobicoke Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Etobicoke, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Etobicoke.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Etobicoke already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Etobicoke breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Etobicoke paves the way for another one to be saved.

Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency
Other Names for this Disease
- A1AT deficiency
- AAT deficiency
- Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
What causes alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency?
How is alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency inherited?
How is alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency diagnosed?
What is alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency?
What causes alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency?
Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene cause alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin, which protects the body from a powerful enzyme called neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is released from white blood cells to fight infection, but it can attack normal tissues (especially the lungs) if not tightly controlled by alpha-1 antitrypsin.[1]
Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene can lead to a shortage (deficiency) of alpha-1 antitrypsin or an abnormal form of the protein that cannot control neutrophil elastase. Without enough functional alpha-1 antitrypsin, neutrophil elastase destroys alveoli and causes lung disease. Abnormal alpha-1 antitrypsin can also accumulate in the liver and damage this organ.[1]How is alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency inherited?
A1AD is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition. Recessive genetic disorders occur when an individual inherits two copies of an abnormal gene for the same trait, one from each parent.[3] Each parent who has one abnormal copy of the gene is referred to as a carrier; carriers typically do not show signs and symptoms of a recessively inherited condition. When two carrier parents have a child, with each pregnancy there is a 25% (1 in 4) risk that the child will have the condition, a 50% (1 in 2) risk for the child to be a carrier like each of the parents, and a 25% chance for the child to not be a carrier and not have the condition (and therefore not pass the abnormal gene on to future generations). Furthermore, when an individual is a carrier for a recessive condition, each successive generation has about half of the risk to be a carrier as the person before.
People who have two copies of the Z allele (ZZ), and therefore have extremely low levels the alpha 1-antitrypsin protein, are likely to have A1AD.[4] If an individual receives one normal allele and one Z allele (MZ), they do have a slightly increased risk for impaired lung or liver function.[4] If an individual receives one S allele and one Z allele (SZ) they have an increased risk to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, particularly if they smoke.[3] Individuals with an MS or SS combination usually produce enough alpha-1 antitrypsin to protect the lungs.[4]
If an individual has a relative who has been diagnosed with A1AD, carrier testing is available for the affected individual's siblings and children; this is typically done by PI typing (isoelectric focusing) or mutation analysis.[5] Individuals who are concerned about their personal risk to inherit A1AD or carry a mutation for the condition should speak with a genetics professional.

Kandee Lixxx
Kandee Lixxx hates to swallow cum. She aksed, "Do I really have to swallow it?" I said, "Yes!" So she began sucking on the white meat stick, putting those big lips to good use. She sucked it nice and tender at first: much like how she would blow her man. Then she began to work it nice and deep. Then she started playing with her huge titties as she went deep on the cock. Big Red was ready to blast his cracka batta into her mouth. She opened wide and took the entire load in. She played with it over and over, and her face began to cringe. A little bit fell out and we scooped it off the nasty carpet and swallowed it. It stayed in her stomach for about 15 seconds, and BLAAHHH! She barfed it up.
Kapri Styles
Kapri Styles is one of the sassy ebony porn star that's on every DVD cover in the ebony market. Ever notice how all the DVD's in the ebony market all have like the same 7 girls? Anyways, it was time to give her some taste of the white man. She sucked those white poles to balls, and when it was time for them to pop, she opened her mouth wide and took every last drop of white boy dick snot that there was to offer. She loved it so much she even fish hooked herself as the cum was in her mouth.
Kianti just turned 18, 10 days ago. She never sucked a dick before. Seriously. So that means she never swallowed cum before either. So what you are viewing here is pure innocence with a white cock in its mouth. Kianti sucked it ok, but what can you expect from someone as pure as her. When it came time for here to take the load she looked nervous. It her tongue and she cringed a little bit as it sat there on her tongue. Then we made her play with it and that's where her innocence began to really shine. She swallowed it all and even put her fingers in the glass to eat it all up. I think she now has a taste for white boy DNA!
Jenni Dior
Jenni Dior came back for more. We wanted to see what that cute little ebony face would look like with a mouth full of cum. So she sucked our cocks like a good little hooker and then we dumped two loads in her mouth and made her play with the cum. We made her scoop up every last bit of cum before she began to play with it, and slurp it up like a vanilla smoothee. She drank it all down like a true hoe. But you could tell she wasn't too enthused.
Mahlia is one of those little snobby sistas. She had a complaint about everything, so we were glad when all of it came to a crescendo. Dave was supposed to pop in her mouth but her attitude made him go limp. So as she was sitting on the floor with a mouth full of cum I decided I would eject some goo into her mouth. She made a cringing face, but she swallowed it all. It's a good thing to add some salty slop on top of a good dish of pretentious ghetto attitude.
juicy & liani
Juicy and Liani are two ghetto hoodrats who tapped out of ghettogaggers.com so we had them do a swallow scene for ebonycumdumps.com. What I love about black chicks and cum are most of them pretend to not like it. Deep down inside they really do, and they do things with us that they would never do with a brotha. We had these two hoes share a pole after some ghetto lesbian action. When it came time to receive the white man's load they opened wide and took every drop. To our surprise, they began to swap it back and forth like it was the latest flavor of Kool Aid. After it went back and forth several times, she swallowed it like a good obedient hood rat. They were surprised they engaged in such behavior, but the hoodrat is programmed to love the white cock.
Violetta loves white cock. She sucked both to the balls using her big lips to work every inch like a true ghetto hoe. When it came time for her to take the loads she opened wide and they fired away. She played with it a lil bit until I took an air canister and shot compressed air into the cum that filled her mouth. Then she drank all the bubbly spunk and licked the splatter that hit my lens for a real messy closeup.
Anastasia & Olivia
Olivia and Anastasia came over to suck on some white dick. We told them they would have to swap cum. They weren't too pleased because ghetto hoes don't like swapping cum for some reason. They start shaking there head back and forth and talking in hoodonics. They both sucked on the cock and kissed while doing it. The nut was fired in their mouths and they swapped it back and forth like they were trading food stamps.
I loved how Vixen gave head. She did it with attitude. You can tell it was just for the money. I love girls who do that. You wonder what goes through their head. It must be like "Damn yo I bee's a hoe, but I will get my money and buy me a new pair of kicks!" Meanwhile the whole world is seeing her suck my meat stick for a few hundred bucks. All for a pair of sneakers!
Stacey Fuxx
Stacey Fuxx, not in this scene. Today it was Stacey Suxx cock that is, and her big lips went to town on the white cock. She started out all sexy playing with some vibrator thing. Then all her attention was devoted to sucking that dick and earning that cum. Then she played with the nut and downed it like a shot of Henny.

Ugh...India were supposed to play a full tour - three Tests, five ODIs and a Twenty20 game - in Sri Lanka but it was cut down to just three Tests in the new Futures Tour Programme. Dharmadasa then met with BCCI president N Srinivasan, after being appointed interim SLC president earlier this year, and convinced him that holding limited-overs games would be more beneficial financially to Sri Lanka.
"I am talking to the TV rights owners, Ten Sports," Dharmadasa said. "I am hopeful of raising almost US$12.5 million." He also said he was trying to arrange a fourth ODI as well. "From a revenue point of view, I would love India to tour Sri Lanka three times a year," Dharmadasa said. "Unfortunately, it is not possible. But whenever possible [we would like them to tour]."

The 10 Greatest Point Guards In NBA History
Point guards. They are the quarterbacks on the basketball court, handling the ball, dishing it off, and they are frequently relied on to make the smart decisions. Not to discount other positions–each one has its own importance–but the point guard is arguably the most significant player on the floor. After counting down the ten greatest shooting guards and centers in NBA history, we now turn to the point guard position. Read More »

Whether it be Hedo Turkoglu begging out of Toronto or Darko Milicic swearing all of the swears in Serbian, there's a long and storied history of this sort of thing. It makes sense. Why wouldn't they be more forthright and accessible in their native languages?
Andrei Kirilenko is no different. In a wide-ranging interview with Sports.ru, a Russian sports site, Kirilenko answered questions about pretty much everything you can imagine. Some of the answers, as I'm sure you're guessing, were really something. For instance, here's how he compared European players to American players.
A Russian man has been traditionally notable for his great physical power (that is to say, the muscles). Without muscles you have no place in modern basketball, especially if you are a center. But compared to the Americans we look quite feeble. Why is is so? (НерпЪ)
– We look quite feeble, I agree. But looking at the training of a guy who starts playing in college and continues his career in the league, you can't imagine how much time they spend in gyms in America. A hundred times more than we do. People don't only play basketball, but also work out regularly, whole programs are developed there. We lag behind in this regard, we try to play more with our talent, we want to prevail with tactics, approach, 'intelligent' basketball, I'd say. In America it's purely one-on-one game – you have to be stronger, faster, jump better. It's also the nature that favors black players making them physically stronger than we are – that is a scientifically proven fact.
Aside from that very weird part where Kirilenko says that it's a scientifically proven fact that nature makes black players stronger than Russian (super yikes), this makes a bunch of sense. Weightlifting is a huge deal in the United States, while it's not that important overseas. That's where that whole "Europeans are soft" nonsense originates, I'm guessing.
Here he is talking about endorsing sausages. (Yes, this interview is weird.)
What's the most unexpected thing you had to advertise?
In Russia I was offered to advertise some kind of sausages or wieners. And leather jackets, by the way. Some friends of mine offered it, I refused politely. When you advertise something, you get associated with this product. I didn't want to be associated with a leather jacket. Actually, I still like wieners very much, but I just didn't want to go out and shout: "Eat Moscow wieners!" and "Meat factory Number 5!"
Not sure which we should put on Andrei Kirilenko's tombstone: "Actually, I still like wieners very much," or "Eat Moscow wieners!" Either one is a good choice. Also, I'm 12.
Kirilenko's thoughts on American sports are also pretty spot-on.
During the time you spent in America, did you develop a liking for any local sport? Baseball or, maybe, American football?
I never watch baseball, but I sometimes turn on American football, sometimes you can come across some interesting matches. I watch it because the players there are so athletic, it's an unforgettable show when such big guys run into each other at full speed. The rules are very complicated, but it reminds me of rugby. I don't watch all the games, only the most exciting play-off matches. And the Super Bowl, of course.
Andrei Kirilenko hates baseball but watches football because it's awesome to see huge guys crashing in to each other at speeds that shouldn't be possible for people that big. That's why football is the biggest sport in the States. Seems he's caught on pretty well after a decade overseas. Nice to have you, bro.
Last, but certainly not least, here's Andrei on his gigantic back tattoo.
Your tattoo from World of Warcraft has raised a furor…
It's not a tattoo from WoW, it's just this game was a revelation for me, it was something I had been looking for a long time. So you can't say I've got myself a paladin tattoo. It's just a person who inspired me and the game became the thing in which I wanted to express myself long ago. It has given me… 'inspiration' [Kirilenko says this word in English – Sports.ru]… How do you say it in Russian?
No, it's the wrong word. Let it be impetus. The game has given me an impetus. And speaking about the tattoo I just wanted to make myself a gift for my 30th birthday. I have never regretted it since. Until this age I never thought I would ever get myself a tattoo. But now I felt I was ripe for that. I didn't want a small picture, being afraid it won't be visible enough. I have a friend whom I know since school and long ago we agreed that if we make a tattoo that would only be together. So he arrived to America specially for this purpose and also got himself a tattoo. On his shoulder, though.
How did your children react when they saw your back ornamented for the first time?
They were astonished and just went bananas with joy. "Daddy, that's awesome!" They were just happy. But in general I don't care about anybody's criticism. Seven or eight years ago I learnt not to pay attention to what they write about me, I don't monitor it on purpose. Sometimes my friends come to my place and start telling me – with their eyes wide open – that something horrible was written about me somewhere. I always have the same answer: let them write what they will.
That tattoo, the one that covers his entire back and is completely terrifying, was Andrei Kirilenko's first tattoo. Not something smallish on his shoulder or leg, because he was worried people wouldn't be able to see it. No, he got a full back tattoo, which looks to be visible from a distance of several hundred yards. Even better, his kids love it. Easing in to things is for chumps.
As you can see, this is a very great interview. Kirilenko seems totally relaxed and willing to answer any question honestly, even if it means he comes off sounding like Jimmy the Greek. He talks about still having motivation to play, wanting to return to Utah, how playing alongside gay athletes is no big deal and that he has no idea what planking is. All in all, a great read.

If the river is running at "0″ feet – there is no water, right? Is that even possible? Not true when you are talking about the New River. We even run it at negative water levels. How is this possible?In the pioneering days of whitewater rafting, late '50s and early '60s, there were traveling teams of crazy people all over the country using Army surplus rafts to run rivers that had never been run (first descents). It must have been an exciting time in rafting history; they had no idea the whitewater they were getting into.
Many of these pioneers kept "river logs," journals filled with notes, diagrams and references. These small groups of adventurers would get together and share information comparing notes.
It was common practice back then to make a mark (hammer and chisel or paint) on a rock or bridge pillar after a successful run for future reference. On their return trip they would look for this mark to see if the river was running higher or lower than their last run. If the run had the potential to become a regular run, they would use a ruler to make hash marks every foot above and below the original mark. This is how "feet" became a popular way to gauge river levels.
The Dragan brothers, the pioneers of rafting on the New River, can take full credit for the New River "foot" gauge and how it compares to rafting. Chris Dragan was the person who actually made the first mark on the rock below the Fayette Station Bridge.
I have heard the story told different ways. Either the "0" foot mark was the very first mark made, it was "normal" summer level or they decided it was too dangerous to run below that mark in the early days. Chris told me personally that it was the first mark made, but I'll let everyone else believe what they want.
At 0 feet on the Fayette Station Gauge, the New River is running at approximately 2,600 cubic feet per second (this is another debatable point – some say it's 2,400 CFS, though it's hard to correlate CFS to feet from two different locations due to tributaries, etc.). At this water level the New River is a great run. It is technical and fun; there are some great play spots out there. Kayakers flock to the river at these water levels. While 2,600 CFS on some rivers is considered high water, it all depends on the size of the river.
We try to talk about the New in CFS now (you can read my blog "What's The New River's Top Recorded Water Level?" for a better understanding of CFS), but for some of us "old school" guides it is difficult to switch over. If you tell me the river is running at 3 feet, I know exactly what to expect. If you tell me it's running at 5,900 CFS, I have to do the math to realize it's 3 feet.
So if you hear one of the old guides tell you that the river is running at -2 feet, don't freak out. It is still a great run – it's just an old reference point. Besides, it's kind of cool to be able to say you rafted a river with no water in it!

But as the sociologist Michael Schudson has argued, however, the roots of objectivity in American journalism can be understood differently: as a norm adopted and enforced by reporters and editors seeking to establish their occupation's credentials as a profession.
The merits of that norm—and how well the press has adhered to it—are of course much debated. But for the present discussion, what matters is that it has never much applied to talk radio of any variety. The conservative blogger and talk show host Ed Morrissey, mocking the Politico story, argues that the many of the practices Vogel and McCalmont describe are standard fare for talk radio.
He's correct, and in fact the Politico piece acknowledges as much. But that's hardly a robust defense. And all it does is bring the issue back to a variation on Frum's original question: not whether the revenue-generating tactics of conservative talk radio will spread to other media, but why conservatives built their media infrastructure around talk radio in the first place.

I have written about making popsicles before, but here is my most recent recipe for making a catch-all healthy snack for your children. I call them "No-Guilt Popsicles." Your children get the nutrients they need, plus they get a tasty snack.
Here Is What You Will Need:
- Popsicle molds and popsicle sticks.
- Fruit juice, preferably one that they haven't ever had before. If you choose a juice they know, they will taste the difference. I use Naked® Well Being (Mighty Mango).
- Vitamin Shoppe brand Multivitamin and Mineral for Children (orange flavored).
- Liquid Fish Oil (I used Nordic Naturals Omega-3-lemon flavored).
- Floradix® Calcium-Magnesium.
- Powdered children's probiotic (I used Nature's Way Primadophilus Children).
- Measure a daily serving of each liquid supplement into each individual popsicle mold (keep probiotic until later). Read the manufacturer's label to make sure you give your child the correct dose. Make sure to pour only one daily dose of each into each individual mold.
- Top off each mold with fruit juice.
- Pour the liquid out of each mold into a bowl.
- Add the powdered probiotic to liquid mixture in bowl (1 serving for each mold used) 4 molds = 4 doses of powder.
- Mix thoroughly with a whisk.
- Immediately pour the whisked mixture back into each popsicle mold.
- Put in the popsicle sticks.
- Freeze, then serve!

My lovely country/cottage garden style yard and porch has one major flaw. The junky view we see of our neighbor's porch. We can't sit on our porch and enjoy it without having a horrible view of a neighbor's junked up porch, as well as hot, full afternoon sun coming in as well. We really preferred to use a living privacy screen and opted to plant an evergreen shrub called cleyera, because it was supposed to grow tall quickly. Or so we thought. After a year, it has grown wider ever so slightly but not any taller. Our porch is about 3 and a half feet above the ground level, so any live screen is going to need to be a quick grower that gets at least 7-9 feet tall at maturity. HELP! I have posted a photo that shows our little cleyera and how tall it is next to our porch. Not nearly tall or wide enough yet to block the eyesore from next-door! |

Here is the view I am trying to block. So disgusting to look out from your beautiful porch and see junk and clutter all over the porch next-door. Need to cover this view ASAP! We want to sit on our porch and enjoy the hard work we have incorporated into our yard. |
One idea would be to put a trellis up on the end of your porch, and then plant a suitable vine/plant to climb it. I used to have a Lady Banks rose on the end of my porch and it completely filled the lattice...and then some. It only blooms once a year in mid-late April, but it's glorious then. There are lots of plants that would work...better than a shrub, I'd think [imho]. Good Luck! |
- Posted by inbloominalabama 10 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 14 at 8:52
i don't think putting a trellis on porch would work well because the porch itself is at least three and a half feet off the ground level. So whatever we put on the trellis would have to grow almost four feet tall to even be at the bottom of the trellis, and that would do nothing to block our view. Also, anything that climbs is not going to be evergreen and that means we would have this same privacy issue again in the winter when the plants dies back. That's why I wanted an evergreen, large, fast growing shrub. Maybe I could hang a hanging basket of a sun loving fern above that to fill in until the shrub gets taller. |
- Posted by inbloominalabama 10 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 14 at 8:55
So I am pretty dead set on a shrub at this point, any suggestions for one that is evergreen and gets tall quickly? It can't get more than 14 ft tall at maturity or it will grow into the eaves of the house. Tried cleyera, as it was tagged as being fast to moderate in growth, but have found that to be untrue. |
Almost anything is going to go through a sleep/creep/leap cycle so that you won't get the most growth until the 3rd year. That being said, Chindo viburnum has done pretty well for us. |
- Posted by dottie_in_charlotte z7-8 NC (My Page) on Wed, Jun 18, 14 at 17:48
Perhaps if you set some eyehooks in the roof beam you can hang potted plants at different heights. Don't know if ferns would love the hard afternoon sun but there are plenty of other choices. You might want to put a tilted shield under the pots so they drain off the porch. That cleyera will do fine so long as you keep it well watered this summer and fall. They get taller in spots where they only get AM sun and have to reach for the afternoon rays. In three years you won't need so many of those hanging pots and when they are finished blooming maybe hang a faux stain glass panel. Get creative. |
- Posted by outsideplaying 7/No. Ala (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 13:39
Does this side of your house get at least 4-5 hours of sun? Your cleyera looks healthy and esh is right, it may just still be young. Give it another year. Mine have to be trimmed every year. They are on the south side and I planted them for the height against a tall back wall of our house. They really took off but they do get a lot of sun. |
- Posted by dottie_in_charlotte z7-8 NC (My Page) on Mon, Jul 21, 14 at 14:17
Before that cleyera reaches the "leap" cycle, you'd do well to have some of those foundation bricks re-pointed and mortar cracks attended to while they are easy to get to. |

BEIJING - China has piled pressures on Japan to prevent a conference by an exiled group championing the rights of Uighur Muslims, who are the subject of repressive policies by Beijing.
"We believe this organization harms China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said in a daily briefing cited by Reuters.
They are engaged in activities that harm China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. They engage in separatist activities to split China.
The Germany-based World Uighur Congress plans to hold its general assembly in Japan in May.
Around 100 Uighur Muslim delegates are expected to attend the event from May 14-17 in Tokyo.
China accuses the WUC of inciting violence in the Muslim-majority Xinjiang province in western China.
"We have launched a representation with the Japanese side to take measures to prevent such an organisation from using Japanese territory to engage in activities splitting China," the Chinese spokesman said.
"They (the WUC) carry out activities undermining China's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
This is the first time the WUC meeting to be held in Asia.
The first and the second meetings were held in Munich in Germany and the third was held in Washington.
China often reacts angirly at events it views as supporting exiled Uighurs and it has exerted diplomatic pressures to prevent the convention of these meetings.
In 2009, Chinese pressures prompted South Korea to stop the entry of WUC general secretary Dolkun Isa to attend a forum on democracy, saying he was on a blacklist.
But Uighur leaders ruled out Japan would bow to Chinese pressures to prevent the conference.
I believe the Japanese government will not accept an interruption to the general assembly, said WUC General Secretary Dolkun Isa, Radio Free Asia reported.
We are not surprised [by China's objection]. It's not only for the general assembly, but also whenever we hold a conference or any kind of international event, the Chinese government immediately attacks and raises objections to the country hosting it.
Established in 2004, the WUC is an exile organization representing Uighur Muslims, a Turkish-speaking minority of eight million in the northwestern province of Xinjiang.
Xinjiang has been autonomous since 1955 but continues to be the subject of massive security crackdowns by Chinese authorities.
Rights groups accuse Chinese authorities of religious repression against Uighur Muslim in Xinjiang in the name of counter terrorism.
Muslims accuses the government of settling millions of ethnic Han in their territory with the ultimate goal of obliterating its identity and culture.Beijing views the vast region of Xinjiang as an invaluable asset because of its crucial strategic location near Central Asia and its large oil and gas reserves.
