This webinar will introduce you to the Questa CoverCheck methodology that automates and accelerates the process of code coverage closure.
Code coverage is a metric used by the majority of today's project teams with the goal of providing a quantitative measure for assessing their progress towards completeness. Typically, >90% of coverage items in a design are covered in a full regression, but it's the process of analyzing that last ~10% which is problematic. Each uncovered point in the code must be reviewed to determine if it is safe to ignore or if the test environment must be enhanced to cover it, typically through writing directed tests. This is a manual process which typically takes multiple man-months of effort per design block. Questa CoverCheck automates this process by finding and reporting the unreachable goals that can be excluded and demonstrating how to hit the reachable ones, which guides the process of test creation.
What You Will Learn
- Schedule predictability – save project time that would have been spent manually reviewing the coverage holes
- Improved design quality – eliminate the danger of mistakenly ignored coverage holes
- Improved metrics – tune coverage measurement to the relevant modes of operation of the design
- Eliminate waiver maintenance – automatically update waivers to account for design changes

Beach police plan to close Ocean Drive to vehicular traffic between Fifth and Fifteenth streets from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. for the entire Thursday-to-Monday holiday. Collins and Washington avenues will be restricted to north-south traffic; many side streets will be barricaded. Police also plan to make more room for pedestrians on the east side of Washington by blocking off one traffic lane. Shuttles will run continuously down the two avenues in a loop from the convention center and from city parking lots.
Capt. John DiCenso told a group of nightclub owners last week that officers will be posted at intervals along Fifth Street from the MacArthur Causeway to direct traffic to commercial routes and away from residential neighborhoods. There will also be electronic signs on the causeways directing tourists to parking, as well as a contingency plan for closing the MacArthur if the Beach becomes seriously overloaded. In the heart of the Deco District, officers will be stationed at every intersection. More will be on foot and bicycle patrol.
At 6:00 p.m. Thursday evening Miami Beach police will begin working double shifts until Monday. More than 200 officers will be on duty at any one time, supplemented by 87 county cops, a few dozen state troopers, and police from surrounding municipalities. "We will have a little over 500 officers total, with around 380 Beach officers, the county, other cities, and FHP," says Ofcr. Jerome Berrian, who will supervise 100 to 200 goodwill ambassadors, volunteers in bright yellow shirts who will walk the streets assisting tourists. Berrian is also hoping to have 50 or so local clergy form an orange-shirted God Squad. Such volunteers, he says, have worked well in Daytona Beach and at last year's Source Awards. "They get more respect than even the goodwill ambassadors," he explains. "They are the most effective. Nobody wants to mess with the God Squad."
This contingent of official peacekeepers, though, will be dwarfed by the private security expected to be retained by clubs and hotels. One firm has told the city it plans to have 300 to 500 guards working the Beach that weekend. Andrea Melotti, general manager of the plush Sagamore Hotel, 1671 Collins Ave., says his resort will employ more private security than normal, plus two off-duty state troopers, to protect an extensive art collection spread throughout the hotel. "We are also not accepting large groups and no major parties because even if the organizers are strict, [a hotel party] can attract attention from the street," Melotti adds. "At the same time, we don't want to be discriminatory. Our best guest lately has been P. Diddy."
Jeff Abbaticchio, spokesman for the Loews Miami Beach, 1601 Collins Ave., says the city has done an exceptional job of planning this year. "Last year," he recalls, "everybody got caught with their pants down." Including the Loews. The very expensive wedding of a wealthy couple from New York was frighteningly interrupted last year by what some described as a "near riot" situation and pepper spray in the adjoining lobby. What is the Loews doing to prevent that kind of horrific scene? "Well, we're not having any weddings this Memorial Day weekend," Abbaticchio laughs.
Sharone Tzalik, general manager of the Best Western South Beach, 1050 Washington Ave., says the upcoming weekend has been booked for more than a month. He views the holiday crowds as a huge economic boost. "Our reputation is on the line," he acknowledges. "The city, they'd rather be careful than sorry. But I think it's maybe a little too much."
But there are others, notably residents, who feel the city isn't doing enough. Morris Sunshine, a South Pointe activist who lives at the intersection of Fifth Street and Ocean Drive, says many of his fellow residents are "deeply concerned that there will be a huge amount of unnecessary traffic, excessive noise, rowdyism, drinking, and trash. We are concerned there's just not enough police power," Sunshine complains. "We're acting in my building like we're under siege. We will go to the store to buy four or five days of supplies, and basically we'll hole up. For those four days we basically don't own the city -- they do."
David Kelsey, president of the South Beach Hotel and Restaurant Association, reports that at a recent meeting of the Ocean Drive Association some residents said the National Guard should be put on standby for Memorial Day. "The city kind of laughs at the idea of having the National Guard on hand, but it's no laughing matter," he argues. "To squeeze that many people in just a few blocks -- do the math. You just can't fit that many people in. Nobody wants to overreact. [The city is] always very cautious about anyone being able to make claims about racism. If it were anybody but a predominantly black crowd, there would be no question about what they should do. I think they are genuinely afraid to take action."
As far as city officials are concerned, however, they are taking action -- lots of it. "This is the most extensive planning we've ever had for a special event," Officer Berrian says. "We want everyone to come, have a good time, be safe, and come back."

The Silent Hunter Commander's Edition submarine combat simulator was developed by Aeon Electronic Entertainment and published by Strategic Simulators in 1997. It represented the final version of the original simulator, which was published in 1996. The Commander's Edition included all patches issued for the original Silent Hunter (version 1.0) plus some additional patrol zones and a scenario editor. The simulator was made for MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. Users soon found it was also possible to run it in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me. In October 2000, Ubi Soft published the Commander's Edition in its "Super Savings Series." This issuance sold out very quickly resulting in a sharp increase in the price for the limited supply left in the marketplace. Most American submarine simulator enthusiasts consider it the best of the early Pacific theater submarine simulators. The involvement of WWII submarine commander William P. "Bud" Gruner, captain of the USS Skate (SS-305), in its design, helped to make it a very realistic simulator. You can also gain new insights into submarine tactics and operations from the sixteen video interviews with Bud Gruner included in the simulator. On my Silent Hunter Commander's Edition webpage you will find a large assortment of tools, editors, utilities, and mods for this venerable submarine simulator. You will also find an article that will show you how to get it up and running in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32x and 64x) using DOSBox.
Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific is the fourth iteration in the Silent Hunter franchise. It is popularly called Silent Hunter 4 and is based on American submarine combat in the Pacific theater during World War II. Following two previous Silent Hunter editions which were based on German U-Boats and the Battle of the Atlantic during World War II, the publication of Silent Hunter 4 by Ubi Soft in 2007 was greeted with skepticism by American submarine simulator enthusiasts. The Silent Hunter 4 programmers and graphic artists were headquartered at Bucharest, Romania. Early editions of the game were very buggy and prone to crash. Plus the simulator raised the bar substantially for its minimum hardware requirements. For these reasons many people waited until the bugs were fixed before investing in new hardware and the game. On October 31, 2007, Ubi Soft announced the U-Boat Missions add-on to Silent Hunter 4, which focuses on the German U-boat campaign in the Indian Ocean during World War II. It also included several additional improvements to the American campaign and upgraded the game engine to version 1.5. Thus, to get the completely debugged game with all the additional improvements, you have to pay about $10 for the U-Boat Missions add-on and purchase Silent Hunter 4 separately, or purchase the Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific Gold Edition, which includes the U-Boat Missions add-on. The latter is the best alternative because it comes on a DVD which you can use to install the game on as many PCs as you wish without the need to leave the DVD in the drive when you play the game. In addition, installation does not require online activation or the entry of any codes or serial numbers. I always caution people to stay away from the digitally downloaded versions of the game and the add-on because of all the codes and activation numbers you have to keep track of and use each time you install the game. On my Silent Hunter 4 webpage you will find some useful articles on how to install Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific in a Windows 7 64-bit operating system and on how to make the Silent Hunter 4 program use more memory. In addition, there are several unique mods there, including the Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod.

Very clever. I did of course think it was something naughty but then thought otherwise. It made me smile anyway! BTW, I always grab from the middle.
Nice word play! I will admit for a few seconds my mind was in the gutter but then I remember this is a family oriented blog.
I usually grab from the middle, it appears cleaner….
Ha! I thought about the worst. I was confused. You got me. The bottom is what I pick out. I also dig for the latest date on the milk too!

Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Stalley at the Fillmore Miami Beach, September 27

With Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Stalley, Fly Union, and others
Fillmore Miami Beach
September 27, 2012
Better Than: Sitting at home reading other people's Tweets about BET's Music Matters Tour with Black Hippy boss Kendrick Lamar.
We arrived at the Fillmore Miami Beach about 30 minutes after the advertised start-time to find an incredibly punctual mass of sweaty and buzzed young adults. A duo called Fly Union was warming up the ready-to-rage crowd.
See also:
-Kendrick Lamar's Recipe: Black Hippy, Lady Gaga, "Pussy and Patron"
-Stalley on Sharing Beard Picks with Rick Ross, Beating 2 Chainz in One-on-One
One MC sounded like Jay-Z, the other Eminem, and the production occupied that curious crossover between Cash Money belligerence and neo-classical "old-school" Blackstar-style backpack rap.
Despite the openers' relative anonymity, especially compared to the rest of the acts on the tour, the party's revelers clearly asserted early in the night that it gave not a fuck about Thursdays or if they even knew who they were watching: These kids came to rage.

Fly Union jumping 'round. |
In between acts, the majority of the crowd would remain parked in front of the stage, puffin' Swishers and chuggin' $11 plastic sippy cups of Rum Punch, while the host cracked rap jokes and demanded people follow him and his DJ on Twitter.
In fact, every single person that held a microphone last night not only plugged their digital avatars - a reasonable, contemporary means of promotion - but sternly demanded that the audience whip out their Everything Boxes and methodically subscribe to every last Tumblr or drip-drip-drop of Facebook diarrhea.

Suddenly, the lights started flickering, gunshots blasted and a siren whined. The lady who says "Maybach Music" came over the speakers and everyone on stage started freaking out like Rick Ross was about to show up. But it was Stalley.
Following two rappers with a highly similar style (the aforementioned non-Swag gangsta-pack fusion), Stalley's performance came off redundant and bare. The Bawse's protégé knows how to lay it down in the studio. But last night, we weren't quite convinced that the MC had separated himself from the mob when it comes to his live performance.

Stalley: Maybach Music Group's second-best beard. |
Jay Rock was just as monotonous as Stalley. But Ab-Soul provided the evening's biggest deviation from form and one of the night's most engaging sets, looking like Snoop when he still went by Dogg, sippin' "Gin and Juice" with Kendrick Lamar's Grand Poobah sensei: Dr. Dre.

Tail length | 27 to 41 inches (70 to 105 centimeters) |
Shoulder height |
Males Females |
Weight |
Males Females |
Life span | 16.8 years (MLE) |

Conservation status | African lion is not currently endangered, but there is very little space for it to live in Africa outside of parks and reserves. |
Where does the lion really sleep tonight?
In Africa, lions don't live in the jungle, the mighty jungle like the song says. They actually live in very dry areas south of the Sahara desert. The grassy areas of the African Journey exhibit are similar to the savannah that lions roam in Africa.
A matter of pride
Lions most often live in groups called prides, although they can sometimes also be found in pairs. Each pride of lions has a male who is the dominant leader of the group. Males are very protective of their territory and use a ferocious roar to warn intruders.
But the females are tough too!
The females of the group actually do most of the hunting, and they hunt hoofed mammals such as zebras, giraffes, and gazelle. They'll also hunt young elephants, rhinos, or hippos.
At the zoo, the lions' diet is simple. Meat . . . and lots of it.
Don't touch the hair!
Lions can have coats that vary from shades of light to medium brown, while their tails have dark brown or black tufts on the end. When males reach the age of 4 or 5, they'll have a distinctive mane on their cheek and throat area which they use to attract mating females and to intimidate competing males.
When lion cubs are born, they're actually spotted, similar to leopards!

Bobby Kent is a scumbag and a weasel. He hired me to perform on his so called TV show. The show never went on TV. I never got paid and I think the club owner was ripped off. Can't somebody sue his ass or at least put him in jail?
Given there are few pastimes more patriotic than yelling random shit during sports contests, filing lawsuits in pursuit of striking it rich, and squabbling over creative rights, consider this story the most American tale ever told.
On April 7, Bobby Kent, CEO of Pompano Beach's Hollbrand Music, filed in local court a frontrunner for the best lawsuit of 2011. He sued the licensing corporation American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for 30 years of unpaid royalties for a song he composed. "The operative and most commonly known part of Kent's composition," read the suit, "goes 'da da da da da da... CHARGE!'"
Yep. Kent claimed to have invented the now-ubiquitous "Charge!" stadium chant while he was musical director for the San Diego Chargers in 1978. He copyrighted the tune, which he called "Stadium Doo Dads," in 1980. And though, according to the suit, Kent was paid "approximately $10,000-$20,000 per year" by the Chargers for the song, and even licensed it to NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, the songwriter accused ASCAP of collecting "millions of dollars" by licensing the song to stadiums and not giving him his fair share.
After Riptide wrote about the lawsuit, NBC 6 ran a segment about Kent, who professed that hearing the tune upsets him: "I get very angry. Because I'm supposed to be paid for this."
But Riptide has discovered one major problem. A good two-and-a-half decades before Kent had his alleged epiphany, a University of Southern California student dreamed up an identical song. In 1955, Tommy Walker and his buddy Dick Winslow — both since deceased — copyrighted the tune, which they called "Trojan Warriors, Charge!" Their creation got so big in Los Angeles that in 1959, according to a Sports Illustrated article published 31 years later, the Dodgers sold 20,000 toy trumpets that played only "da da da DUT da DUH."
Says Tony Fox, director of the USC Trojan Marching Band: "If this guy is claiming that he wrote it, he's lying. USC has been using it since the 1950s. He's full of you-know-what."
"His copyright is worthless," says Milo Sweet of California-based Sweet Music, Inc., which filed for the original song's license.
"I never knew it," a stunned-sounding Kent says when confronted about the USC students' song. "I have no clue."
His lawyer, Richard C. Wolfe, jumps in on the call: "We have a registered copyright with a properly documented certificate that has gone unchallenged for 30 years. We have years of ASCAP paying us small amounts of money, and years of The Tonight Show paying us for its use. What's this guy got? Nothing."
We can only imagine that assertion could be challenged in court. Imagine the spectacle of two "Charge!"-related lawsuits being tried concurrently. A song that conveyed the bravado of heading to battle would be totally appropriate right now. If only such a ditty existed.
Bobby Kent is a scumbag and a weasel. He hired me to perform on his so called TV show. The show never went on TV. I never got paid and I think the club owner was ripped off. Can't somebody sue his ass or at least put him in jail?
They are all full of crap I wrote this under the influence of peyote at woodstock. Now pay me my money before I get mad:-)
I work "for" Bobby as a side musician at weddings/corporate events when I first moved to Florida 20 years ago, and he was a complete BULLSHIT ARTIST then, as well! But you gotta hand it to the guy...if he's trying to stir up publicity, well.. HE'S DOING IT! The best thing to do with a guy like this is laugh in his face and turn the other way and ignore him. He'll go away, only to try and screw someone else. The only thing my friend (who also used to play for him) and I can't believe is that HE'S STILL ALIVE!
This will keep me shaking my head and laughing for a good week, not only because of the story itself, but also because some actually wrote about it!
Didn't Wilma Flintstone use the tune before she uttered the classic "CHARGE IT";after she and Betty would go shopping. I'm not 100%. But I am sure the Flintstones was last aired in 1966. Still looking for a sample of that audio clip.
Drop me a line at gus.garcia-roberts@miaminewtimes, I'm trying to find out more about Bobby.

If I'm being honest, there are many times when I've been skeptical curious about my "superChristian" brothers and sisters. I think most of you who've attended church know the people I'm talking about. They may give you the "I'm not judging you, but I'm judging you" look when you don't put money in the offering one week. They may lecture you about drinking if you mention going to a party on Friday night. They seem so perfect that you start to wonder if they're even human.
I'm a hypocrite for judging them.
On the outside, my life looks the way it should to fit the stereotype of a "nice Christian girl." I go to church every Sunday. Some weeks I even get there early to greet people. I've consistently volunteered with local non-profits for the past 7 years. I've attended Bible studies and prayer groups. I've written blogs about faith. But, as much as I try to appear this way, I am certainly not always "nice" and many times my actions fail to reflect that I'm a follower of Christ.
I can go days or weeks without cracking open a Bible. I listen to rap music with lyrics that would make my mother cringe. I gossip. I feel ugly when I don't have any make-up on. I laugh at other people's expense. I try to handle things beyond my control. I hang out with people whose morals don't match my own. I miss opportunities to share my testimony because I'm too intimidated. I've fooled other people, and sometimes even myself, into believing I've got it all together.
I wonder how many of us go through life hoping we can just "check the boxes" and get by without anyone figuring us out. We show up on Sunday morning. Wear our best clothes. Put money in the offering. Raise our hands during worship. Smile and say "hi" to everyone. Check, check, check, check, check. We should be covered until next Sunday now, right? Nevermind that we looked at our watch the entire time, silently judged the appearance of the person sitting to our left, and critiqued the choir on the drive home. Throughout this crazy routine we forget that, while everyone else might not recognize a mask, we can't fool God.
I've recently forced myself to re-evaluate my intentions and have discovered some truths that trump my imperfections. The real miracle of my life is this: despite my selfish heart, God still invites me to call Him father. And He knows me. He knows when I'm genuinely serving Him and when I'm just going through the motions. He knows when I'd rather watch America's Next Top Model than read my Bible. He knows when I'm being loving and when I'm judging others. He knows when I'm sitting at church, wondering if forgiveness really applies to me or if it's just for everyone else.
He knows all of this and He still loves me. He knows every flaw and yet I feel Him reach for me.
I'm finding that, when I hold myself accountable for daily devotions and actively practicing honesty, God begins to transform my heart. It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with His grace. I had wrongly lived under the impression that I need to "fix" myself before I can get close to God. The truth is that He's calling us to an intimate relationship with Him now. I have genuine enthusiasm about sharing my faith because I know that I don't have to be perfect to fit perfectly into God's plan. Asking God to be the foundation in my life just means allowing Him to use my broken, sinful heart as instrument for love. I don't have to wear a mask because I'm not living for myself anymore… I'm living for Him.

This was a return visit because it is fairly comfortable and a good rate with PA. Wi-fi with Tengo worked really well this time. Safe park, gated in a pleasant rural setting. The ladies in the office are wonderful. - Snooker2
Well the residents and staff make this park what it is. Very friendly. Old campground that seems to be in some kind of transition. Lots of older park models for sale or rent. Have about 15 transient sites. Wi-Fi is through Tengointernet...really bad. Hookups are fine. Sites are adequate. Some have a cement pad. - Snooker2

This is a Park model community with some RV sites. Very unlevel and hard to park on because of this. Most sites are on a hillside. Maintenance and upkeep is almost unheard of here. The place is over run by gophers and moles. Electric is put on wrong side of sites?? The ground is so soft you literally sink into the ground. Wifi, forget it! Bring your own. Train track close by but not too annoying . Sites are roomy is the positive about this place. They do have some concrete pads but are so small and not thought out or laid out well, 50 bucks more per month. No picnic tables. Place needs some owners that care. - Livin' the Life

Clean. Quiet. Level. Those are the most outstanding points of this campground. On the other hand, no one could proclaim this place to have any shade or be generous on space between sites. Overall, pleasant but no beauty spot. If you come, be sure to visit the Giraffe Ranch a few miles to the north. It is a very rewarding experience. - LarryJohnston
Price is three month rate but does not include electric of about $2 a day. We have been here since November of 2012 and thoroughly enjoy this park. Many park models here but plenty of spaces left for transients. Our site is very level and faces a row of pleasant park models. Palm tree lined streets add a tropical feel. All roads are paved. All sites are grass and a few offer concrete pads for your picnic table. Services are excellent although some sites require long connections for water and electric. Cable and phone are available thru BrightHouse and WiFi thru either BrightHouse or TengoNet. Very quiet at night except for a train which passes about a mile away. Park is located in rural area with orange groves on one side of park and pine trees on the other. Pleasant town of Dade City about 2 miles away and close to Zephyrville with its excellent Super Walmart for shopping. Extremely friendly people. We are planning to stay here again next winter. - Good Old Dan
This park is a Carefree RV Resort that participates with Passport America; therefore we were able to stay for half price for two weeks! This park is about three miles from Dade City, is well maintained with very friendly and competent management. There are many full time park models in the park (mainly from Michigan and Wisconsin) and all the residents were very friendly and helpful to those in RVs. The laundry facilities were clean and modern as was the pool. There were many activities available to us but we were in Dade City to work with Habitat for Humanity, so we were not able to participate. Cable is not available to short timers so we used our satellite system. Internet is available. Dade City is about one hour west of Orlando and 45 minutes NE of Tampa. We would definitely stay there again. - Starguy

Nice park seems OK, nice pool and hot tub. Entertainment was OK, but the better acts you have to pay for. Golfing is expensive and it's hard to get tee times. - basscat
We stayed for a couple of months so the nightly rate was much lower. Campground is nice. Onsite managers are fantastic. Always around and always willing to help in any way they can. Sites are fair sized. They do run activities in the winter that are nice but a lot of them are held outside in a pavilion.......fine if the weather is nice. They do have a small hall for some things like bingo, small groups. There is no rec. hall to speak of. The one pool table in the pavilion is in pretty tough shape. The biggest deterrent for us was the constant trains. They all blow there whistle at the numerous crossroads and many stop and back up to unhook cars as necessary.....again blowing the horns constantly. With that being said, if your the type of person that can tone out the trains this could be an enjoyable place to stay. For us it was not and we will not return. - BlueBoy
The park is very nice. It is a 55+ but welcoming to a little younger. Check-in was quick and the staff was friendly and helpful. We were escorted to our site. The restrooms were clean. Wi-Fi is free, but you need to take your device to the computer office in town so the service provider can enter your mac address into their computer. Browsing is slow. There is not really a place to ride a bicycle except throughout the park. You are located between Zephyrhills and Dade City. Dade City has antique shopping and little bistros. The location of the train tracks in close proximity to the park makes for a sleepless night. The trains seemed to come regularly through the night and because the park is close to an intersection, the train has to blow it's horn. We planned to stay for three nights, but had to leave after one. The noise was the only deal killer for us. - bicyclecampers

Very quiet, out of the mainstream but not far off I75. We camped in the rally area with an FMCA club. The rally area is grass covered but fairly level and well maintained but no shade. Full hook-ups with 50 amp and free cable TV. The WiFi was strong and accessible at the site. You are escorted to your site with parking assistance. The pool, showers and restrooms are very clean and well appointed. The nine-hole golf course green fee was included in the rate. Stayed here in a motor home. Would definitely stay here again. - Good Vibes
This is a very pretty park. Even though we were given sites on "the hill," our site was almost perfectly level. The only drawback is that you have to park on the grass, so in the morning walking results in web shoes and grass cuttings being dragged back into the RV. The staff is very, very friendly. They do all they can to make your stay an enjoyable one. Cable TV was OK even though the number of available channels was limited. The Wi-Fi worked fine Thursday and Friday, but when the park became more filled on Saturday, it was impossible to hold an internet connection. Travelers Rest is like a small village: it has its own Fire Department. EMT's are nearby a able to respond quickly. There are tons of clubs for those staying long-term. The public building was huge. We had to share facilities with another club, but it all worked out. The nicest feature TR has is its golf course. It's only nine holes, but it appears to be well-kept. Maybe next year when we come back for our December rally, I'll bring my clubs. - Dave the Florida Gator
If you enjoy being away from it all, golf, tennis, a clean park with lots of clubs and activities then this could be the park for you. The only downside for short term campers is the camping area is more like an overflow area than an actual campground site. Camping is in a large mowed grassy field commonly referred to as the "hill". The roads are grass, there are no trees or shrubbery at all - nothing but posts with the hookups, which worked as expected. Everyone was very friendly,, but the campsites are disappointing - the place does grow on you though. - Tripalot

If you love the female to male cum kiss you are going to love this website.
I'm going to provide you with a bunch of links to awesome videos. The first one is going to be a bunch of mashed up videos of the money shot but more importantly the kiss after. It's the female to male cum swap to be exact.
Here is the first video, I hope you enjoy
I like the first screen the most but most likely not for the reason you would believe. I find the woman in the video to be very attractive. I think porn stars that don't look like porno stars are the best. She is super hot, I just wish she was a little more naked. You do get a pussy shot. Another disappointment is there really is no cum kissing. She forces him to eat his own cum from the source.
The second video also has no female to male cum kiss, again the guy is forced to eat it from the source. But if you like this kink, I think you are going to love these short clips.
If you enjoyed the female to male cum kiss in these videos please comment and let me know if you like the info I'm providing.

For the lovers of rivers, discover the hidden ones. They are local to mountains higher than 1500 meter above sea level. Their water comes from deep sea level, gets heated by earth core heat, turns to vapor, ascends up, and condenses within cold mountain heights. They are the secret of caves and ground tunnels. They open at sea, tens of meters below sea level. Good luck. (check: http://www.salmanalkasimi.com/researches/First_Research.pdf)

Published July 30, 2013
There's likely an underground stream in your city, but it may soon be seeing the light.
Uncovering buried streams has had huge impacts in places as diverse as Seattle, Washington, Kalamazoo, Michigan, and even Seoul, Korea—improving local water quality, providing habitat for fish and birds, and turning neglected parking lots and roads into public parks that boost neighbors' property values and can revitalize entire cities. And city planners everywhere are starting to take note.
In Yonkers, the fourth largest city in New York State, officials are a third done with a "daylighting" project—a term for the opening up of underground streams (see "11 Rivers Forced Underground"). In addition to exposing a waterway that had long been covered, the effort has already sparked plans for a new minor-league ballpark and new housing.
"I credit the city and the people who ... figured that having a nice river in a downtown was something that was, economically, really good," said Ann-Marie Mitroff, director of river programs for Groundwork Hudson Valley, an environmental justice nonprofit.
But why are all these streams covered at all? Flash back more than a hundred years. In many urban areas around the world, small streams were just getting in the way. You couldn't build on top of them, and the rapidly growing populations in many cities were throwing all their sewage into open water.
Often, engineers found that the simplest solution was to bury the streams, routing the water into pipes and paving over the top. In Yonkers, "the Army Corps of Engineers put a parking lot on top of it, which everybody thought was progress," Mitroff said. [Editor's note: A spokesperson for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says there are no records of the agency covering streams in Yonkers, and said the Corps would not have had jurisdiction to do so. They pointed to local authorities as most likely responsible; National Geographic has been unable to confirm that.]
In some cities, more than 70 percent of streams have been paved over. In many cases, city residents don't even know that there are buried waterways under their feet.

Now, new research and a desire to revitalize urban cores is leading to a host of daylighting projects. Uncovering buried streams has been proposed in San Francisco, Baltimore, and Detroit, as well as in smaller urban areas nationwide.
Uncovering streams can help reduce flooding. When it rains in a "natural" watershed, soil and plants absorb the water. When it rains onto a parking lot that drains into an underground pipe, the potential for flooding is much larger.
According to a new report from advocacy nonprofit American Rivers, released July 17, urbanization increases the likelihood of floods getting worse. One study found that paving over 25 percent of a watershed could turn a formerly rare severe flood into a twice-a-decade event. When more than 65 percent of a watershed is paved over, those so-called "hundred-year-floods" could hit every year.
Watch the Money Flow
Early daylighting projects, like Arcadia Creek in Kalamazoo, focused on the economic benefits of bringing streams back to the surface. Turning a parking lot into a 3/4-mile-long (1.2-kilometer-long) strip of Arcadia Creek in downtown Kalamazoo created a park that hosts five annual festivals and generates $12 million in annual tourism dollars.
But Arcadia Creek isn't really a creek. According to a report from the Virginia Tech Water Resources Research Center, the Arcadia Creek project and similar ones do "not resemble streams per se, but rather canals with surrounding parkland ... [the streams] are very controlled water channels [with] concrete-lined basins."
In Seoul, a $384 million project daylighted three miles (five kilometers) of stream that has most of its water pumped in from a river seven miles (11 kilometers) away. Both parks have been successful in boosting the economic value of the surrounding land and bringing locals a little closer to nature.
Digging up a stream isn't cheap. In Hutchinson, a town in rural Kansas, daylighting just three city blocks of Cow Creek cost more than $4 million, including relocating four buildings out of the new floodplain. But compared to the cost of unearthing, replacing, and reburying the city's aging pipes, building a new downtown park was an easy choice.
Not all daylighting projects need to be the centerpiece of an urban revitalization project. In Washington, D.C., the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is undertaking small daylighting projects of a few hundred feet (around a hundred meters) in upper Northwest D.C., which is more suburban than urban, despite its location within the nation's capital.
Each project will create a small amenity for immediate neighbors, but they are mostly intended to mitigate local flooding and improve water quality. "Water in a pipe is not exposed to biological processes that break down pollution," said Steve Saari, watershed protection specialist with DDOE.
A recent EPA study found that streams exposed to sunlight are up to 23 times more efficient at processing nitrogen, which left unprocessed can cause dead zones where fish cannot survive.
Return of a "Living Stream"
In Yonkers, the uncovered stream is "a living stream," Mitroff says.
The first reopened part of the stream (which opened in 2012) is already filled with fish and "fairly good-size" American eels, up to 18 inches (46 centimeters) long. "It's remarkable," Mitroff said.
In D.C., only months after daylighting a tributary to Rock Creek, "we've seen a lot more birds, and a lot more unusual birds," said Saari.
And, he added, "we had frogs. It was incredible."

Worley challenged annexation of 782 acres over traffic worries
Council won't challenge Appeals Court decision, but a developer will
When the Peachtree City Council in 2007 approved the annexation of 782 acres on the city's northwestern border, resident David Worley didn't just complain about the deal.
Worley, an attorney, took his grievance to court, filing a lawsuit that twisted its way through the legal system until last week when the Georgia Court of Appeals struck down the annexation, which would have added 1,075 homes inside the city limits.
Last week the Peachtree City Council voted not to challenge the decision. But one of the developers involved: John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods or Brent Scarbrough and Company, has decided to seek an appeal of the dispute to the Georgia Supreme Court.
Worley, in an interview last week, said he filed the suit because he thought the annexation had too many homes given the land area.
"It would have a major impact in the east part of the city, which is where I live basically," said Worley, who lives in the Kedron Village area.
Worley said he also was concerned about the start-up costs to the city in addition to the need to fund additional city services for the area.
Worley said he knew some other residents who also opposed the zoning.
"There were a number of people I talked to who were concerned about the density of the development," Worley said.
Worley's suit prevailed by challenging the annexation since it created a mass of city land that completely surrounded a smaller tract of land which remained part of the unincorporated county. Because the smaller tract was not contiguous to the unincorporated county, it was in effect made an "island," a result that made it illegal under Georgia law.
The city later approved a second annexation to address the "island" issue, but the court ruled that the second annexation did not make the first one moot.
Worley, who handles mostly securities litigation for the Page Perry law firm in Atlanta, said he was at work last week when he happened across the Appeals Court's opinion, which overturned the decision of visiting Superior Court Judge Brian Amero of Henry County.
"I'm hopeful this gives the city the opportunity to just reevaluate the annexation and the size of the development on the property if it is eventually developed," Worley said.
He also said the city should take another look at the economic assumptions that were made as part of the annexation based on the number of homes that would sell each year until the development was finished.
The real estate market has changed significantly since then, Worley added.
Worley said while he was happy to have won the decision at the appellate level, he also was pleased to have worked with City Attorney Ted Meeker on the matter.
"The city attorney and I have been able to work on this very well over the last three years," Worley said. "Obviously we have different views but the city has been very well represented."
I applaud David Worley for taking on a very flawed annexation.
In regard to the post from Spyglass, the comparison of densities is not a valid way to address the situation. What we should be looking at is compliance to Peachtree City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
That annexation/rezoning was definitely not in compliance with the city's land use plan calling for lighter estate-type densities on the city's boundaries. Furthermore, the council made a huge mistake by leaving a huge doughnut hole of light industrial zoning in the center of the site.
We needed to create an access point at South Kedron and Hwy. 74. If the council had committed to that point, we would have improved access to all the subdivisions, retail establishments as well as fire/EMS protection coming from the north a years ago.
Mr. Worley is giving us an opportunity to make really bad situation a whole lot better. My thanks go to Mr. Worley.
went against everything in the comprehensive land use plan for PTC. That said, the time is not right now for a development of this size. I would like to see McDuff road extended to help with access in the area.
Now what are in your plans to help with traffic in certain areas of Fayette County? You should know where the trouble spots are.
Surely, it was in compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan when you discussed the very same area with John Wieland Homes during your stint as mayor. Tell me please, now that you've inserted yourself again into the politics of Peachtree City, how adherrence to the plan is correct on the north side of town and not so on the south.
Surely, a manufacturing facility whose location is to be annexed should Mayor Haddix have his way does not meet the 'estate residential' criteria. Further, have you driven through there on school mornings when traffic is backed up at the light at Redwine and 74S?
You do realize that you now represent those county residents dropping their kids at school, don't you?
By the way, congratulations on your win.
that area is going to be a nightmare when school starts back up. I pity the folks who must deal with it on a daily basis. I've got two words...SCHOOL BUS.
Good question Mike. Citizen Brown took on that task of negotiatng with Wieland. Talk about a mismatch! If Direct PAC and his council member hadn't stopped those negotiations, Wieland would have wound up owning the entire city.
We were wondering how long you could contain your "Fatal Attraction" for Steve Brown, considering how all your friends have politically imploded.
Steve Brown is the only Mayor we have ever had that has stood up to developers and said NO and was willing to negotiate with Wieland. Perhaps Haddix will follow the same course.
You and Mike King make a wonderful sour grapes pair.
Commissioner-elect Brown, does the rezoning of the land near the intersection of Hwy 74 and Redwine to light industrial comply with Peachtree City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan?
You lost me!
Are you for or against the Wieland annexation?
My understanding of what Worley wanted was one acre lots?
I don't understand the ignorance of the small Industrial in the middle! If that was all that was wrong, why didn't the judge just say: "change that and go with it?
I know that would have knocked some lawyers out of work....but......
David Worley certainly did something of great benefit to Fayette County with his free legal work stopping this huge mistake. In one fell swoop he did more than Congressman Lynn Westmoreland has in his entire career.
David Worley ran for Congress when he lived in another district. Next time I hope he runs against Westmoreland the "do nothinger" Congressman.
He ran against Newt Gingrich and came close to winning.
had more to do with the demographics of the district than Worley being a quality candidate. That district is now VERY heavily Democratic.
That said, it was a close race, and Newt moved to a safer district very soon after.
No Spy, blv all Gingrich's elections took place in the 6th District, where he first ran in 76 & lost to incumbent Jack Flynt (D). In 78, Flynt did not run and Newt was elected and subsequently reelected 6 times, beating Worley in 90 by 978 votes. He left Congress in 99.
Newt did move to the northside and ran for election from there. His, our, District was altered by Tom Murphy in a failed attempt to "get" Newt. Democrats in Georgia have always attempted to manipulate the election process in an attempt to maintain their past power. This includes the current Democrat Nominee for Governor, Roy Barnes. At his direction, this state was chopped up into ridiculous State and Federal Districts, don't you remember them? The focus was, and is, on political manipulation. The focus is supposed to be on serving the citizen, but there is no way one could justify those Districts on that basis!
Spy originally said he moved and the insinuation was thathe did that so he could run in a demographically different district. All I was saying was that, the record reflects he represented the 6th district (regardless of how it was configured) from 78, when first elected, til 99, when he retired.
To run in a much friendlier district to Repubs.
Other than that, WGAS? :)
Point: Newt originally ran for election(76) in the 6th District. He was first elected (78) in the 6th District and reelected 6 times in the 6th District. He did not run in any other District, as you infer. Regardless, got nothing to do with whether or not Worley should run. If he could show that he's a "True" Blue Dog, he might do quite well against Westmoreland.
And as far Newt, I knew him when he lived in some apartments off of Upper Riverdale Road near the hospital. He was basically too smart for his own good. The American folks can't handle his intelligence, not today.
That said, I don't what they call the old 6th district anymore, they've change every 10 years anyways. I'll say this, a Republican has NO SHOT at being elected anytime soon if much of his district includes Clayton County. They are lucky to have someone as decent as David Scott. That electorate has lost its mind.
He has a hard time with whom he marries. They get sick and he has to find another one. There is a difference in "smart" and basic intelligence.
is his "likeability" with the public, his staff, and just about everybody he comes in contactwith. He's just not personable. I do believe he's a brilliant "futurist" but hey, if he's a guy you wouldn't want to have a beer with, would you vote for him? When he was my Rep from 78-83, I wrote to him quite a lot--and nver failed to get an answer. He had an unusual technique. Of course the basic reply would either be boiler plate or a composition by his staff, but at the end, he would handwrite a comment SPECIFICALLY addressing a point in your letter and then sign it personally. That way, at least you had the feeling that-unlike most congresspeople-he actually read your letter. Anyway, he's making some pretty serious noises about running in 2012. Personally, I'd favor Jon Huntsman, Amb. to China, or the current Gov. of Indiana.
later in his career to the other side of town. Clayton County was changing rapidly during the race he almost lost to Worley. I should know, I lived there.
From Wikipedia..
"As a result of the 1990 United States Census, Georgia picked up an additional seat for the 1992 elections. However, the Democratic-controlled Georgia General Assembly eliminated Gingrich's old district, which stretched from the southern suburbs of Atlanta to the Alabama border. Gingrich's home in Carrollton was drawn into the Columbus-based 3rd District, represented by five-term Democrat Richard Ray.
At the same time, the Assembly created a new 6th District in Fulton and Cobb counties in the wealthy northern suburbs of Atlanta — an area Gingrich had never represented. However, Gingrich sold his home in Carrollton, moved to Marietta in the new 6th and won a very close Republican primary. The primary victory was tantamount to election in the new, heavily Republican district. Meanwhile, Ray narrowly lost to Republican state senator Mac Collins."
I still stand by the info I have that says Gingrich represented the 6th District from 1978 til 1999, when he retired. Not denying he moved, but he was initally elected and reelected in the 6th district. BTW, I had a Jonesboro address from 77-83!
That's for sure..the area he represented was totally different.
I still have a lot of Family in Jonesboro, Lake City, etc..the hard headed ones who didn't want to move, now their homes are basically unsellable.
That's about all he has a chance at.
Doesn't Worley live near the proposed annexation? Looking out for himself it appears.
Or is that OK with you"?
Commissioner-elect Mr. Brown, speaking of annexations, what do you think about PTC's consideration of annexing the property near the intersection of Redwine and Highway 74 for the purpose of locating a manufacturing facility there? It seems to be mostly aimed at blocking any future retail development on that site down the road under the current county zoning. Does the county have any say on annexation by municipalities?
to want to locate to. I know some of the Family well, and will try to get some answers as to why they want to be there. Maybe it's better access to 74/85 south to Hwy 16 etc.
Still, I think there are better areas for them.
Your point about blocking future retail is surely HIGH on Mr. Haddix's mind.
I believe it highly unlikely Mr Brown will criticize that annexation on our south side due to Haddix having his fingerprints all over it. Land use plan be damned if Don thinks its a good idea. I would agree that a manufacturing facility across from the Starrs Mill school complex in light of additional traffic on school mornings, the widening of highway 74S, not to mention that the plan calls for estate residential on city boundaries does little except to give a bad first view of our town.
Are you saying that Commissioner-elect Brown and Mayor Haddix are allies in some nonpublic way? I never got that impression, but I haven't been here that long. As for the potential Low Temp site, a week or so ago I asked Mayor Haddix on this blog if he had any personal relationship with the owning family, and he categorically denied this, so I am still searching for the reason behind the push for rezoning to light industrial other than 'it will expand our tax digest and prevent retail development under the current county zoning.' It doesn't seem that 150-160 employees eating lunch everyday at the few restaurants in the Wilshire shopping center will do much to boost municipal revenue. Also, where are the residents of the Wilshire Estates community on this issue? Do they really want a factory staring them in the face?
Haddix has tried to distance himself earlier, but to be honest I really do not know if they're close. As I see it, a newly elected commissioner is not about to publicly criticize a recently seated mayor intentionally. Brown made the point of the Land Use Plan to highlight his earlier objection to the annexation. He failed to mention that as a sitting mayor he entered into talks with John Weiland about the same area.
The citizens on the city's southside as well as the county residents with kids in the schools should be included in annexation talks to our south.
I asked Haddix on a couple of occasions if he and Sturbaum would have any say-so on who the DAPC staff hire would be and so far he has not responded except to say they could not vote on it. Duh! I can only take that to mean that yes...even though that may be illegal. DAPC is an independent agency and it would appear to be illegal for the mayor and sitting city council person to have any influence on DAPC matters including hiring of staff. Of course it will not be a public vote but a phone call for a meeting somewhere with Mark Hollums to discuss who it is the DAPC Board plans to recommend. If they don't approve, with a smile on their faces, Mark will be strongly urged to go back and recommend someone else will be . Nice and tidy isnt it? No muss....no fuss.
Whatever Mayor Haddix says, DAPC could never be truly independent as long it is funded from city revenue. I hope Imker sticks to his guns on DAPC funding AND the pension issue.
All development authorities are funded by a city or county but the law says they are to be independent entities. Even Haddix admits this.
If that is the law, then no DA can be truly independent, as the the local councils/commissions pull the budget strings. Anyway, I am blogged out on this issue and will wait to see if the additional funding goes through.
to the actual subdivision that Mr. Worley lives in now, the Kedron Village or Peachtree City as a whole.
It is about time somebody looks over the city and council and I am glad to know you stepped up to the plate.
In an accidental happenstance it was probably good that no one built a bunch of houses in the area in the article above. The recession hit the next year.
Also, in my opinion homes worth one acre or more of land that some want will never be built in that particular area! Those homes would have to be $500,000 or more to be worth the land. They won't sell in that area at that price. Too much commercial and railroads, etc., too near.
So eventually smaller homes will be built on smaller lots. It could be a good investment if held until the recession is over. I don't think inhabitants in Kedron along 74 on the opposite side of the area can stop development there forever. Unless they buy it!
Is the cities problem money? What would they need to spend that they couldn't get the developer to spend?
Unless they would;d like to have 20 more cops, 20 more firemen, 20 more vehicles, and a police and fire station, and 20 more city hall employees to serve them! Maybe even another library and ice rink.
Did anyone see where a city in California of 35,000 mostly low wage minorities was paying their city manager 800,000 dollars, assistant 600,000 and Chiefs 3-400,000?
Citizens finally woke up and are trying to fire them all today. Recession you know.
Also another city fired ALL of the city employees, and are contracting most necessities and the Sheriff's department has taken over the policing!
So far all is well.
It seems there are thousands of municipalities in the USA with large staffs in the same condition!
I don't know where all these people are now going to work with no industry left. Pick up oil balls I guess.
I don't know you Mr. Worley, but you my respect and support. We have a chance to undo the poor Logsdon legacy on this one for the benefit of the people this time.
The man is a lawyer, a Democrat organizer and guilty of violating PTC's laws by cutting down all the trees on his property without permission. A lawyer should know better, don't you think.
He may be a hero to Wieland and Levitt because this lawsuit delayed them enough so they missed the beginnning of the current recession. Better to have raw land devalued that being caught with a subdivision and a bunch of empty houses. Not sure Fayetteville zoning and septic tanks along Line Creek and no McDuff extension is an improvement, but if you do - go thank Mr. Worley.
And no one on earth can undo the legacy of Logsdon (or Brown or Lenox or Haddix). We are left with whatever mess they made and whatever good they did.

Active Duty Military Education Online
Work towards a degree or certificate online while you serve
Jump to: Tuition Discount | Why CMC? | How do I use VA Benefits and the GI Bill? | How do I apply?
Colorado Mountain College aims to serve your educational needs while you are busy serving our country. We understand that military service may take you far away from home and that you may be asked to relocate at a moment's notice.
In order to help you balance the demands of military life, Colorado Mountain College has a complete schedule of online courses that can be accessed anywhere in the world through the Internet.
We offer a reduced tuition rate of $57/$99 per credit ($139 per credit for bachelor of science in nursing) to soldiers, sailors and Marines on active duty, and their spouses and dependents (dependents under 23-years-of-age). Veterans and dependents (dependents under 23-years-of-age) also receive this discount.
In addition to individual classes, we offer several degree and certificate programs online. This web page will give you all the information about attaining a college education at Colorado Mountain College while on active duty.
Learn Online During Active Duty
Our online course schedule has a variety of courses from which to choose. Whether you're looking to obtain a degree, knowledge of a new subject or just trying to learn more about the world, Colorado Mountain College can help you meet your goals. Link below to see a complete list of degrees and certificates available for online study.
Tuition Discount includes spouses and dependents
Active duty military and veterans, including their spouses/dependents (dependents under 23-years-of-age), are eligible for a substantial tuition discount at Colorado Mountain College. Regardless of your residency status (in-state vs. out-of-state) you will pay only the in-district tuition rate:
- $57 per credit (100-200 level)
- $99 per credit (bachelor degree/300-400 level)
This discount was approved by the Colorado Mountain College Board of Trustees to honor US veterans, active duty military and their families.
Getting Started
Use our website as a resource as you begin the process of expanding your education. Use the links at the bottom of this page to learn more about applying for and receiving federal benefits, like the Post 9/11 GI Bill. You'll also be able to link directly to the application for Colorado Mountain College. The following questions and answers are listed in order of priority to help you navigate your journey:
Why Attend Online Classes At Colorado Mountain College?
Q: Why should someone on active duty choose Colorado Mountain College?
A: Colorado Mountain College offers a wide variety of online courses. You will also receive a lot of personal attention from our staff who can help you along the way. Our online curriculum has many degree and certificate programs you can pursue while on active duty. If you choose to leave military service before the completion of your chosen program, you can continue from your home of record, or attend one of our locations in the mountains of Colorado.
Our online course options give you the ability to learn when you're thousands of miles away from home. Many classes allow you to interact with fellow students and instructors in a virtual classroom setting. Link below to learn more about earning credits online and learning away from the traditional classroom.
Q: Which degree or certificate program will be best for me?
A: Colorado Mountain College wants to make sure the programs we offer suit your needs, so we suggest that you take a short career assessment to find out where your interests and strengths lie. Explore how you match up with possible careers by using one or all of the career assessments on the page linked below.
Q: Will I get credit for training I had in the military?
A: Each applicant's educational past is compared to the course offerings at Colorado Mountain College. If a course we offer corresponds with the training you received, then you will be awarded credit in most cases. Click here to email the Assistant Registrar's office.
How Do I Use My VA Education Benefits?
Q: How do I apply to receive education benefits while I'm on active duty?
A: Use the links below to learn your VA education benefits and then read through the handbook, Factors To Consider When Choosing A School. Start with the first one and move down the list. Each link will open a pop-up window, so when you get finished just close the window and move on to the next one. The last link will prompt you to apply for your education benefits.
- VA Education Homepage – Learn everything you need to know about your benefits and how to use them.
- VA Education Benefits – Learn more about your education benefits.
- VA Education Benefit User Guide -Use this guide to help you navigate the benefit application process and to learn how to use your benefit wisely.
- Factors To Consider When Choosing A School (pdf) – The school you choose should match up with your goals, your skills and experience. Use this guide to help you make the perfect choice of college.
- Apply For Benefits with VONAPP*
*With VONAPP You can apply for VA compensation, pension, education, vocational rehabilitation and employment, and burial benefits. You can also report the status of dependents, file a claim for increase in your service connected disability(ies), a new disability(ies), an ancillary benefit, entitlement to statutory benefits such as special monthly compensation, and entitlement to special monthly pension.
To file for education benefits, veterans, service members, reservists, and spouses/dependents of a "service connected" disabled or deceased veteran may use VONAPP. If the benefit you're applying for isn't listed as an option on the VONAPP form (REAP chapter 1607 for example) check unsure for the benefit type and use the remarks section of the application to indicate which benefit you wish to apply for.
Q: If I drop a class will it affect my VA Benefits?
A: Dropping a class can affect each student differently. It is important that every student contact the Assistant Registrars Office any time there is a change to your schedule. Click here to e-mail the Assistant Registrar's office.
Q: I am in the Guard. Can I receive my Tuition Assistance and my GI Bill at the same time?
A: Yes. But make sure to research this before you do it because in some cases it may be better to use them separately. Any member of the Colorado National Guard is eligible for state tuition assistance, up to 100% tuition paid at any Colorado state-funded school depending on funding available. State funding can be used in conjunction with Federal Tuition Assistance. Deadlines:
- Spring Semester – Dec. 1.
- Fall Semester – July 1.
- Summer Semester – May 1 (if funding is available).
Q: I'm still Active Duty but I will be getting out soon. How soon should I start applying for my GI Bill benefits?
A: It is okay to apply early, however we recommend that you wait to use your benefits until you separate from the military.
How Do I Apply To Colorado Mountain College?
Q: How do I apply to Colorado Mountain College?
A: The application process is simple and you can apply online.

SEC Headlines 12/11/2012
1. Texas A&M offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury on the radar at Texas Tech. One of the "top two targets."
2. 13 schools have paid $31 million to buy out coaches this year. When you factor in assistant coaches and other items, price tag rises to more than $50 million.
3. Western Kentucky AD Todd Stewart on hiring Bobby Petrino: "We hired him because he's an outstanding football coach."
4. Petrino: "One thing I've learned from this is I can be even more of an influence on a young man's life than just on the football field." Jeff Schultz: "That's the problem."
5. Stewart Mandel: "The surprise to me is that so many desperate, higher-profile programs showed such restraint."
6. Mike Lopresti: "Atonement can't be rushed. And what does it say when it is?"
7. Tim Couch on new Kentucky offensive coordinator Neal Brown: "The quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs, they're all going to see the football a lot."
8. John Clay: "Neal Brown is back. Bobby Petrino is back. And Charlie Strong never left."
9. What it boils down to in the coaching profession: "You win, you win them over. You lose, you lose your job."
10. Options for a couple of Arkansas assistants - stay with the Razorbacks or go to work for one of the Petrinos – Bobby or Paul.
11. Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Todd Monken is the new coach at Southern Miss.
12. Tommy Tuberville leading an exodus out of Lubbock?
13. Charlie Strong's contract extension at Louisville "getting close" to being done.
SEC/College News
14. Thanks to Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M is reaping the benefits of a public relations bonanza. A&M marketing VP: "This is truly unparalleled in terms of the broad scope of national media exposure A&M is receiving,"
15. With Marcus Lattimore reportedly turning pro, South Carolina will turn to running back Mike Davis.
16. Steve Spurrier on Lattimore: "When he's ready, I'm sure they will have a press conference."
17. Plenty of decisions facing Georgia football. No. 1 on the list - will Aaron Murray stay or go?
18. Bulldogs defense expected to lose 12 players who started games this year.
19. Notre Dame over Alabama - because of its goal-line defense?
