J My husband and I were newcooltube invited to a New Year's party and we have done, children to care for my mother. I wore a short dress and 5 ' needle and looked pretty sexy if I newcooltube may say so. I'm 5'5 ', size 10 with pert 32B breasts. I newcooltube kept my figure, despite three children and have a high sex drive. The night passed and we had a great time dancing and chatting with people. There was a dance with several people, including a man of 68 who was a friend of our family and with his wife. when we dance groped my ass and not think of it as I love J patted me know. I found the switch quite well, so we decided to take a break after my third dance with Roger in his place. It seemed to monopolize the dance with me for some reason. I said I wanted to go outside to smoke and I like to smoke cigars, I thought it would give me a break. vi, J, and greeted him, waved that I am a cigar, and he waved back 'ok' with your fingers. I came to intor my purse and pulled out a 10 newcooltube ' and left Havana cigar in his mouth and was just a game, when one hand a cigarette lighter for me and a familiar voice that offers strikers, said:' Do you want a newcooltube light? ' I leaned forward and began to light my cigarette smoking to work. ' It makes it look sexy, 'said the voice, and when I looked up, with my first real movement, Roger saw me with a pure own mine After turning his cigar and lit it began to blow a ' for some men,' Roger continued :.. 'The vision of a beautiful woman with a 10' cigar in his mouth is very erotic and suggestive '. n ' Really,' she said, blowing smoke. He knew perfectly well this was the case, because my husband and I love when sex while I'm smoking a cigarette. So far I have had a tingling sensation between her legs, like, for some reason, the fact that I was with an older man smoking a cigar and the use of my dress and sexy shoes, I was always on. was New Year 's Eve, and although there was a clearsomething cold and my nipples began to grow increasingly my feeling in general. I had flown only smoke when Roger leaned over and kissed her lips and opened my mouth and our tongues began to find each other. ' We go to the garden house,' he said as he walked away. I just nodded and took a train to treat my cigarette and calm nerves. We went out on the porch and went to the summer house was warm when the heating. I sat down and felt my position and a short edge. Roger was sitting next to me and I felt his hand on my thigh moving towards my wet vagina tingle. Only my husband had been there since we got married, and I started a little nervous. I took another train on the newcooltube cigar to stabilize the nervous system. While I was fuming, playing Roger and I groaned. ' It's like M? A man 28 years older than you touch their private parts. Planted a big kiss for me to force my head back. Just moaned with pleasure. I felt like Ipeaks move to insert my panties aside newcooltube and began a finger into my wet hole. Ohhhh my God, what a feeling. I put the cigar in his mouth and immediately took his impressive bulk. He began moving his fingers, and I was in heaven. I took another train with my free hand and took the cigar from his mouth. When I meet who played Roger told me. ' I think a woman who smokes cigars to be an impressive spectacle, and enjoy my dear, what I have in store for you,' 'I can not wait,' I . 'Just load your manhood and let me out. ' I enjoyed this, and if Roger took off his wet finger in his mouth and sucked my juices from it and said, 'mmmm nice flavor. ' undid his fly and put out this 10 'cock ' Impressive for an old man anyway, 'he said to me, looked me straight in the eyes filled with lust and said simply. ' Yes, and I want it in me. Now. ' So far I have the feeling was so humid and hot, I just wanted to go to bed. I feel so much that I spread her legs orn newcooltube the edge of the chair and knelt newcooltube before Roger my head level with mine, and the bulge of his cock rubbing my pussy through the lace panties. took another train from the cigar and said, ' Put it on now give me your old hot seed Roger.. ' 'happy to force a woman,' he said as he leaned on me a kiss, he sent attracted my latch on the one hand, and pushed into me. I moaned with pleasure as my husband is not so great. Roger moved with expert movements, and soon had an orgasm and I'm sure I've been heard in the house. I kissed her and told Roger that I want more and more difficult. Surprisingly, I could have my cigar smoke as well and it seemed to turn. So I obliged with exaggerated features, and I could feel I was close to orgasm. 'Go Roger. Come into my body without protection. Put your seed inside my body. ' Unnnngghhh grunted and emptied his sack on me. Wow, what a heavy Cummer. Not only stop. kind of experience tHat. There I was with a 68- year-old, leaned toward me, breathing heavily spread. He looked up and kissed my lips and said : 'I think I want more M. What is it ' ' lovers Not just now returning to the missing in the case of my husband.. ' 'I am a weekend, I wanted a place. What? ' ' Well, I'll see what I can do.

While it is hardly a surprise that Samsung's biggest and baddest flagship smartphones are going to get their Kit Kat update eventually, the real question plaguing everyone's mind was a matter of "when". Samsung has been looked upon by fans of the Android community as well as their haters as the premier Android provider, but it seems that the company has lately been overshadowed by faster rival companies, namely HTC and Motorola.
Samsung's update delays began with Jelly Bean 4.3, which they really struggled to deliver over the last couple of months due to some issues with the update having plenty of incompatibility bugs. What made the transition worse was many of the fans that were waiting for the update were burned with an update that rendered many smartphones a total pain to use in daily life with no official way to get it back to working order.
Samsung finally got their act together and started rolling out Jelly Bean 4.3 in the US and other parts of the world. While many fans are definitely happy to get a fully functioning 4.3 update, they are wondering just how far down the road the Kit Kat update would be, especially after seeing their rivals come out with updates and update schedules.
Many speculated that Samsung is so buy getting 4.3 rolled out to smartphones and getting more devices update to 4.3 as soon as possible. That is why many predicted a Q1 release of the next update next year, at least for the latest flagship models. Sure enough, French local carrier SFR came out with a confession, promoting that Kit Kat 4.4 will arrive on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 sometime between January and February.
This is certainly good news for the international market as this usually points to an earlier update for international users. We can expect the next slew of updates to happen between those two months for the rest of the world. Unfortunately for US fans, European updates usually happen much earlier than US updates. Our carriers love to keep us behind the times with excessively lengthy approval processes without real bug tracking and bug testing. If this does come sometime between January and February for the rest of the world, expect ours to hit sometime in March or at the best, late February.
Of course, we love how carriers have worked faster recently with Motorola and HTC in bringing more Kit Kat smartphones out in the local market so soon. In that light, we might find the same treatment applied to Samsung's phones when they are ready to dish out an update to Kit Kat 4.4.

Current Time
Marsh Harbour , Great Abaco Island
Tel: 888 303 2765 (toll-free)
Concierge.com's insider take:
The double-crescent beach, over two miles long, is breathtaking. Ditto the crystalline water. Ditto the golf course, with hardly a blade of grass out of place (it gets only a handful of rounds on an average day). The Abaco Club stays gloriously serene because the 534-acre private peninsula is indeed a club (created by Peter de Savary, the English entrepreneur, sportsman, and visionary). Nonmembers can stay in their choice of 20 octagonal "cottages" (650-square-foot one-room cabanas), each beautifully furnished and richly appointed with a marble-top wet bar, 42-inch flat-screen TV, Italian linens, and a terrace with hammocks secluded behind a bank of shrubbery. In addition to golf, sports-loving guests can indulge in tennis, a fitness center and spa, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, bonefishing, and deep-sea fishing. The catch to all this: Nonmembers can stay only once, but for as long as they like. Good—how about forever?

Puncturevine control requires multi-year approach
More About:
Puncturevine, a summer annual broadleaf weed that thrives on field borders, comes by its nasty name naturally. The spiny burrs that it produces can wind up in harvested forage, decreasing its palatability and intake, says Rick Boydston, a USDA-ARS weed scientist in Prosser, WA.
"Those burrs can also get lodged in the feet, mouths and digestive tracts of dairy and beef cattle, causing them distress," says Boydston.
The nuisance weed can be toxic to sheep and goats if eaten in large quantities. "It causes sensitivity to light," he says. "Blisters form on the insides of the animals' mouths and on areas of their bodies where skin is exposed to sunlight."
Puncturevine originated in the Mediterranean region and was discovered growing along railroad tracks in the Northwest in the early 1900s. It's now found in almost every state, but is most abundant in those with milder winters, says the weed scientist.
The good news is that puncturevine doesn't compete well against alfalfa, so it's generally found on field edges. "It prefers areas where there's very little crop canopy, but if it finds an open area, it can quickly take hold," says Boydston.
It grows close to the ground, forming dense mats that can reach up to 12' in diameter. It has hairy leaves and yellow flowers with five petals. After each flower is pollinated, a seedpod forms that is a cluster of five flat, spiny fruits or burrs that can contain up to five seeds each. Mature seedpods break apart and the burrs disperse, often getting lodged in machinery and truck tires and in the soles of shoes.
"Those burrs are then easily transported to areas where the weed's not infested, enabling it to take hold there."
Aggressive measures used over multiple years are usually needed to control it. A typical plant produces 200 to 5,000 seeds during a growing season and those seeds can survive in the soil for four or more years.
"The seeds within each burr have different dormancy levels," explains Boydston. "If you have five seeds, one may germinate this year and the other four seeds may sit dormant for a few years or so before germinating. So even if you get rid of the seedlings that come up one year, you're still likely to have problems in subsequent years."
To minimize the spread of puncturevine, he recommends washing your shoes, machinery and tractor tires frequently to rid them of burrs. Keep it out of alfalfa fields by applying a pre-emergence herbicide, such as flumioxazin and norflurazon, in late winter when the crop is dormant. Puncturevine seedlings can be controlled with a postemergent herbicide such as bromoxynil or imazamox when the weed is less than 2" in diameter. Several other herbicides are also available, but read labels carefully.
To kill the weed in field borders, he advises repeated tillage at three- to four-week intervals. "Depending on moisture levels, the seed can continue germinating from early April through mid-August."
One final suggestion: "Plant a competitive crop, such as grass, around field borders to minimize bare areas and crowd out the weed," says Boydston.

I picked up my 2006 Audi S4 in February of 2012 with just 24,000 miles on the clock – I spotted the car as a trade-in at the local Porsche dealer and it was exactly what I wanted; manual transmission, Brilliant Red, and even a Platinum Silver interior. I traded in my A4 to buy her, but I kept a lot of my aftermarket parts that would swap over, so some of the parts I've installed may look familiar.
I've really been enjoying the S4 – the 4.2L V8 is a blast to drive. especially with the manual transmission. And after modifying the suspension, it's even more fun to drive as it handles on rails! The exterior and interior are all pretty familiar from owning my A4, other than a few nice upgrades such as the RNS-E navigation unit and backup sensors.

Automatic Knife Policy
Automatic knives or switchblades are those knives that open their blades with nothing other than a pull on a switch or the press of a button.
On July 1, 2013 the ban on automatic knives was repealed in our state of Indiana. We are, for the first time, able to offer autos to our Indiana customers. Understand that interstate shipments of automatic knives to individuals are still against federal law so we are not able to ship auto knives to individuals in other states. There are knife dealers who are willing to break that law but we are not among them. Federal law does allow the interstate shipment of automatic knives to government agencies that place a written purchase order with us. We will honor written purchase orders placed by federal state or local government agencies and faxed to us at (574) 656-4481.

On the basis of preliminary results, sitting President Evo Morales won 62% of the vote in the elections held on Sunday 6 December in Bolivia.
In the legislature, Mr Morales' Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) appears to have come close to its target of two thirds of the seats in the new Plurinational Legislative Assembly, winning at least 24 of the 36-seat Senate and 84 in the 130-seat Chamber of Deputies. Morales' right-wing opponent Manfred Reyes Villa, the former prefect of Cochabamba, received 27% of the votes, and Samuel Doria Medina, a wealthy businessman, only 6%. With a two third majority for the MAS, the opposition will not be able to block government legislation.
Weak opposition
The opposition did not manage to form a political bloc in the run-up to the elections. They could not agree upon attractive candidates nor form a solid alternative platform. As a matter of fact, the greatest confrontation in the electoral campaign was not between MAS and the opposition but rather between the two principal opposition alliances: the Progress Plan for Bolivia-National Convergence (PPB-CN) and National Unity (UN). They fought over who would best represent the part of the country that does not sympathize with MAS. This battle is an example of the crisis of leadership, identity and strategic vision in the opposition parties.
Regional results
The victory of the MAS was especially remarkable in the eastern departments of the country, where the right-wing opposition usually has the largest support. In Santa Cruz, the MAS won just over 40% of the votes (two seats of the four Senate Seats), compared with 33% in 2005. In Tarija, the MAS received around 49% of the votes (compared with 31% in 2005), achieving another two Senate seats there.
Only in the departments Pando and Beni did the opposition prevail as expected. The results of the elections in the so-called 'Media Luna' lowland departments overthrows the notion that the country is somehow evenly divided politically between 'east' and 'west' – lowlands and highlands. This development is not solely due to sudden support for Mr Morales, but also reflects the polarization within the opposition. In Santa Cruz, violence caused by the far-right in September 2008, created rifts amongst the local elites, as did the alleged involvement of prominent figures from the local civic committee in a terrorist plot that sought to spearhead secession from the rest of Bolivia.
Free and fair
The elections have been declared free and fair by various observers, including the Organization of American States (OAS), the European Union (EU) and the US Carter Center. The registration of voters by means of biometric voting cards – seen by many as an impossible project to implement in the time available – proved to be a great success, removing doubts (voiced strongly by the opposition) about the quality of the electoral roll. In the end more than 5 million voters were registered. Bolivians living abroad – specifically in Argentina, Brazil, Spain and the United States – were able to vote for the first time. Participation nationwide was extremely high, with only 6% of those eligible to vote failing to do so.
Looking forward
The results of this national election change representation within the legislature. Especially, the Chamber of Deputies will see new faces. A lot of deputies do not have any experience in national politics but come from social movements. Their election will surely help fortify links between the government and civil society, albeit at the expense of experience in the legislature. Moreover, political polarization between the national government and the regions may not be over yet, as the next departmental elections are coming up in April 2010.

Tired of entering the same recommendations and descriptions for design DFM issues found over and over again!!! You are not alone.
If you are one of the hundreds out there that are responsible for providing feedback for PCB Design issues, read on!
As the manufacturing expertise moves away from the design organizations and into the manufacturing organizations, effective collaboration tools are needed to ensure communication flow is not disrupted. Electronic Contact manufacturers are getting involved with design layout decisions earlier and earlier in the product design flow. Outsourcing design layout is further complicating the collaboration and feedback loop between manufacturing know-how and the designers. Identifying potential fabrication, assembly, and test problems in the PCB design before moving to manufacturing can offer huge benefits. Many are also using the manufacturing expertise to provide DFx Services to design organization.
Consider automation!
With new advances in the Valor DFM tools and the updated Manufacturing Risk Assessment functionality, it is now easier than ever before to tag issues, add comments, and export results.
Automation has been developed to automate the process of generating these reports. In most cases, reports that once took hours to create can be done in minutes. This automation provides Valor NPI users a quick and easy method for creating professional looking, consistent DFx reports which are configured specifically for each of their customers.
Auto-populating of Recommendations, Reference Documents (e.g. IPC 7351) based on the category name, component type, etc.. saves hundreds of hours of manual editing.
In addition, collection of design metrics would assist understanding design complexity and risk assessment (DPMO).
Tired of entering the same recommendations and descriptions for design DFM issues found over and over again!!! You are not alone.
Contact me if you want to discuss how to make this happen for you or your supplier!
What are your main challenges with DFx collaboration? Is the market ready for moving from static reports to something more?
Looking forward to any and all comments!

This hike is a great way to get away from the heat in the summer. Its high and cool, there are some nice shady parts, and the scenery is about as good as it gets.
Directions to Trailhead
•The last few miles to the trailhead are a rough dirt road. It can be done in a passenger car, but a high clearance vehicle is preferable.
•From the intersection of Tanque Verde and Grant/Kolb, head south on Kolb all the way down to I-10. Get on I-10 east and go for about 35 miles.
•From I-10 take exit 302 for Highway 90 South to Kartchner Caverns and Sierra Vista.
•Stay on 90 all the way to Sierra Vista, making no turns.
•When Highway 90 takes off to the left (in the outskirts of Sierra Vista), go straight on Buffalo Trail Road. As an alternative, you can turn left and stay on Highway 90 as it loops around town; you will end up in the same place, it's just a bit longer.
•Keep going south on Buffalo Trail Road along the west edge of town for a number of miles.
•Turn right on Highway 92 at a stoplight and go south for just under 4 miles.
•Turn right on Carr Canyon Road (FR 368). The Mesquite Tree Restaurant is on this corner on the right side of the highway.
•Carr Canyon Road becomes gravel after a few miles, and then becomes very narrow and rough. It climbs steeply up the side of the mountain for a number of miles.
•Go past the Reef Townsite campground.
•About one mile past the Reef Townsite campground park at a parking lot just before the Ramsey Vista campground. There is a marked trailhead very near the parking lot, but, if you are going down the Comfort Springs Trail, the better trailhead is at the far end of the campground, about 150 yards from the parking lot.
Trail Description
Comfort Spring Trail, FS #109
(Ramsey Vista Campground to Hamburg Trail)
Sign at the Ramsey Vista trailhead.
Miller Peak Wilderness boundry.
Close up of the cliffs on the opposite side of the canyon.
Comfort Spring doesn't seem to have any water in it these days.
Approaching the saddle before dropping into Ramsey Canyon.
The trail near the bottom of the canyon.
Length: 2.3 miles | Hiking Time: 1.5 hours |
Highest point: 7400 feet | Lowest point: 6840 feet |
Trail goes downhill |
From the Ramsey Vista parking lot cut through the campground to its far end, where you will see a sign for the Comfort Spring Trail (see picture).
The trail winds downhill through manzanita and occasional small pines. Pretty quickly you come to a sign marking the boundry of the Miller Peak Wilderness.
Continue downhill. There are great views of the cliffs off to your right from this stretch.
At the bottom of the descent you pass a little green nook that looks like there should be a stream running through it, but there isn't. From here the trail starts to climb.
After a short time of climbing you come to Comfort Spring, which didn't have any water when I was there in August of 2003.
The trail continues climbing through brush until it crosses the ridgeline in scattered pines. From here the trail begins a long descent into the lush and spectacular Ramsey Canyon.
Its a fairly long descent down into the canyon, but there is well developed pine forest along the lower stretches that give good shade. The views are inspiring.
The trail ends at the junction with the Hamburg Trail (FS 122) at the canyon bottom. There is a stream with some water pools (August), big pines for shade, and a number of level spots for camping. Its a beautiful spot.
The signs at the trail junction say its 2.4 miles to Ramsey Canyon Road downcanyon, and 1.5 miles to the Crest Trail (FS 103) upcanyon.

provide students with opportunities to revise and improve their thinking (Vye et al., 1998b), help students see their own progress over the course of weeks or months, and help teachers identify problems that need to be remedied (problems that may not be visible without the assessments). For example, a high school class studying the principles of democracy might be given a scenario in which a colony of people have just settled on the moon and must establish a government. Proposals from students of the defining features of such a government, as well as discussion of the problems they foresee in its establishment, can reveal to both teachers and students areas in which student thinking is more and less advanced. The exercise is less a test than an indicator of where inquiry and instruction should focus.
4. Learning is influenced in fundamental ways by the context in which it takes place. A community-centered approach requires the development of norms for the classroom and school, as well as con nections to the outside world, that support core learning values.
The norms established in the classroom have strong effects on students' achievement. In some schools, the norms could be expressed as "don't get caught not knowing something." Others encourage academic risk-taking and opportunities to make mistakes, obtain feedback, and revise. Clearly, if students are to reveal their preconceptions about a subject matter, their questions, and their progress toward understanding, the norms of the school must support their doing so.
Teachers must attend to designing classroom activities and helping students organize their work in ways that promote the kind of intellectual camaraderie and the attitudes toward learning that build a sense of community. In such a community, students might help one another solve problems by building on each other's knowledge, asking questions to clarify explanations, and suggesting avenues that would move the group toward its goal (Brown and Campione, 1994). Both cooperation in problem solving (Evans, 1989; Newstead and Evans, 1995) and argumentation (Goldman, 1994; Habermas, 1990; Kuhn, 1991; Moshman, 1995a, 1995b; Salmon and Zeitz, 1995; Youniss and Damon, 1992) among students in such an intellectual community enhance cognitive development.
Teachers must be enabled and encouraged to establish a community of learners among themselves (Lave and Wegner, 1991). These communities can build a sense of comfort with questioning rather than knowing the answer and can develop a model of creating new ideas that build on the contributions of individual members. They can engender a sense of the excitement of learning that is then transferred to the classroom, conferring a sense of ownership of new ideas as they apply to theory and practice.

The Long-Term Effects of Military Conscription on Mortality: Estimates From the Vietnam-Era Draft Lottery

Research on the effects of Vietnam military service suggests that Vietnam veterans experienced significantly higher mortality than the civilian population at large. These results, however, may be biased by nonrandom selection into the military if unobserved background differences between veterans and nonveterans affect mortality directly. To generate unbiased estimates of exposure to conscription on mortality, the present study compares the observed proportion of draft-eligible male decedents born 1950–1952 to the (1) expected proportion of draft-eligible male decedents given Vietnam draft-eligibility cutoffs; and (2) observed proportion of draft-eligible decedent women. The results demonstrate no effect of draft exposure on mortality, including for cause-specific death rates. When we examine population subgroups—including splits by race, educational attainment, nativity, and marital status—we find weak evidence for an interaction between education and draft eligibility. This interaction works in the opposite direction of putative education-enhancing, mortality-reducing effects of conscription that have, in the past, led to concern about a potential exclusion restriction violation in instrumental variable (IV) regression models. We suggest that previous research, which has shown that Vietnam-era veterans experienced significantly higher mortality than nonveterans, might be biased by nonrandom selection into the military and should be further investigated.

In December, Seattle's Mayor Mike McGinn sent a letter to the city's two chief pension funds on friday, formally requesting that they "refrain from future investments in fossil fuel companies and begin the process of divesting our pension portfolio from those companies."
McGinn's letter includes a compelling argument:
There is a clear economic argument for divestment. While fossil fuel companies do generate a return on our investment, Seattle will suffer greater economic and financial losses from the impact of unchecked climate change. Our infrastructure, our businesses, and our communities would face greater risk of damages and losses due to turbulent weather that climate change causes. As a waterfront city, several of our neighborhoods and industrial districts are at risk if climate change causes a significant rise in sea level.
Think Ann Arbor should divest too? Sign this petition to Ann Arbor's City Council to show your support!

On how he prepared her for the winning performance after she won her first start of the year in the Honey Fox Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park on March 16

Red Bull and McLaren slogged it out to be the fastest in this mornings final practice session for the Chinese Grand Prix, with Mark Webber finally wresting the honours away from Lewis Hamilton.
The Australian pushed ahead in the final stages with 1m 35.323s, which was 0.241s below Hamilton's eventual 1m 35.564s. Sebastian Vettel was third on 1m 35.691s and Jenson Button fourth with 1m 35.747s. Fernando Alonso jumped into the hunt for Ferrari with 1m 35.857s, and Nico Rosberg's 1m 35.913s for Mercedes displaced his team mate Michael Schumacher, who had earlier lapped in 1m 36.262s to momentarily go sixth.
Robert Kubica remained well up for Renault with 1m 36.343s, but team mate Vitaly Petrov brought out the red flag with 17 minutes remaining when he crashed his R30 in Turn 16. The Russian was unharmed, but the cars a mess.
Felipe Massa had an unhappy morning which culminated in ninth fastest time of 1m 36.416s for Ferrari, just ahead of Kamui Kobayashi's BMW Sauber on 1m 36.634s. Jaime Alguersuari was the final sub 1m 37s runner, in 1m 36.879s for Toro Rosso.
Tonio Liuzzi made good on his promise to go quicker, taking his Force India round in 1m 37.031s for 12th ahead of Sebastien Buemi in the second Toro Rosso on 1m 37.192s and Adrian Sutil in the other Force India on 1m 37.240s. Petrovs 1m 37.339s left him 15th, chased by the Williams of Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg, which sandwiched Pedro de la Rosas BMW Sauber with times of 1m 37.585s, 1m 37.664s and 1m 37.784s respectively.
This day it was Virgin's turn to head the newbies, with Timo Glock lapping his VR-01 in 1m 39.579s to head Heikki Kovalainen's Lotus on 1m 39.616s and team mate Lucas di Grassi on 1m 39.749s. Jarno Trulli was right behind the Brazilian, with 1m 39.776s in the second Lotus. Bruno Senna was HRT's leader this time with 1m 40.316s, Karun Chandhok taking the sister car round in 1m 41.141s.
The scene is thus set not just for a tight battle for pole, but also to get through to Q3 in qualifying.
