Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
Stock this baby heavily.
In the opening scene, Julie Silver gets two dicks stuffed in her ass and two fingers buried in her pussy. And when she gets d.p.'d, she manages to gape her ass wide open while still fucking the cock that's in her pussy. Towards the middle of the scene, her ass is stretched so ruthlessly that she is able to gape nearly the size of a baseball. Julie is ample testament to the lengths director/performer Erik Everhard and his crew will put these girls. Did these foreign babes - each and every one of whom is top shelf gorgeous - know that Everhard planned to push them to the limits of their anal endurance?
At the end of each scene, as the title implies, the girl takes the pop in her ass and then pushes it back out - every last drop of dribbling, bubbly spunk.
At nearly three hours, pre-nom this exhausting effort for Best Anal-Themed Series.

Rodney Slatford, born in Hertfordshire and educated at Bishops Stortford College, England, abandoned his original ambition to be a farmer after attending National Youth Orchestra courses and going on to study at London's Royal College of Music. Still a student, he played principal bass first with the Midland (now English) Sinfonia and then the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, with whom he recorded as a soloist. He then shared the principal bass post in the English Chamber Orchestra with his former teacher until resigning in 1981 to spend more time playing chamber music, teaching and writing.
A founder member of the Nash Ensemble he broadcast and toured regularly for thirty years, also making guest appearances with established ensembles such as the Amadeus Quartet.
As a teacher at the Royal Northern College of Music, Slatford established the Junior Strings Project, a pioneering method of teaching very young children on the bass. He has written widely on playing and teaching the bass, contributed to the New Grove Dictionary of Music and sat on various advisory committees and competition juries. His competition for bassists on the Isle of Man involved, in 1978, a workshop which included all the participants performing Saint-Saëns' 'L'Éléphant' together in Port Erin, conducted from astride an inflatable elephant.
Slatford's Yorke Editions publishing company has produced around one hundred edited works for the double-bass, and his Yorke Trust charity (founded in 1985) offers wider musical educational experiences to young people.
Solo double-bass playing still inhabits a comparatively small niche, although (as this A-Z shows) there have been a number of soloists who have, more or less successfully, campaigned to raise the status of the instrument from its humble ensemble position. Slatford's work as an educationalist has obvious importance in this regard, although his playing does not demonstrate the kind of flamboyant virtuoso personality of some others. The recorded items selected here reveal a clean, precise tone, with admirable accuracy and agility. The Dittersdorf (in an edition by Slatford) is pleasingly resonant, although viola player Stephen Shingles is rather too tremulous to make a satisfying partnership, and in the Rossini Duo Kenneth Heath's intonation does not quite match Slatford's. Saint-Saëns's 'L'Éléphant' (something of a signature piece for Slatford) is delivered with the requisite humour and reveals once again his fastidious playing.

Oh, deer!Posted Wednesday, November 30, 2011, at 7:12 AM
I was driving to work about 6:30 this morning when I saw something run into the the four-lane part of Jefferson Street in the distance ahead of me. I saw one deer, then two. I was watching them run off to the west, towards the river, and almost missed seeing three more run into the road. I had to hit my brakes to keep from hitting them.
I can't recall that I've ever seen that many deer together within the city before. It was about where one turns off to go to East Side School. Did anyone else see them? Comments Showing most recent comments first [Show in chronological order instead] Spotted 2 deer last night around 9 near Madison & Anthony Lane. -- Posted by ckna910 on Wed, Dec 7, 2011, at 7:58 AM
have not seen any around my place near Kroger.. But I have seen a peregrine falcon! -- Posted by 4fabfelines on Sat, Dec 3, 2011, at 4:02 PM
There are deer, wild turkeys and even a fox that hang out on the Tony Rice Center property. The turkeys have also been seen up near the bowling alley. -- Posted by Tim Lokey on Fri, Dec 2, 2011, at 1:22 AM
Just spotted 5 in a field off Pinkston this evening. They stopped going through my field since we got the border collie. They're not fond of being herded. -- Posted by bellbuckletn on Wed, Nov 30, 2011, at 5:57 PM
They've had the area dogs in a tizzy but I don't think any pups have been loose to harass them. Judging by the bark brigade,I think they have stuck to the wooded areas along the creek beds when they come into our area. -- Posted by quantumcat on Wed, Nov 30, 2011, at 4:34 PM
They made have decided it was safer in town than out where hunters can get them right now. We are used to seeing them, (had three in the yard this morning) but a herd came by while I was on the tractor this weekend and came close as if they were not concerned. They were right not to be since we made a pact when we first moved in. They don't bother my garden and I don't let hunters on our property. Strange, but it has worked. They graze all around the front yard but except for the very first year, I never saw them or their hoof prints in the garden. -- Posted by stevemills on Wed, Nov 30, 2011, at 2:40 PM

I try to learn something new every now and then!
Many times I've wished I could get some part that isn't make anymore, or that costs so much that it might as well not be made. This includes things like funny plastic knobs on a GR decade transformer, and the cracked gears in my eBay HP signal generator.
It turns out that if you have one good part, you can duplicate it using a silicone rubber mold and casting resins. Maybe everybody but me knew about this, but it's pretty cool. The "entry fee", however, turns out to be about $40 or more. You suspend or support your part in something like a plastic cup (there are many methods), then mix up a 2-part RTV and pour it around the part. If you want absolute flawless perfection, it helps to degas the RTV under vacuum, if you have a pump available. After the RTV hardens, you typically cut the mold in half (again, many different methods exist) and remove the part. Then you cut a channel for the resin and put the mold back together. There are dozens of different urethane resins, plus coloring agents. You can also use epoxies. The resin gets poured into the mold and cures. Because the mold is flexible, you can then pull it off, even if the part has undercuts and complex features, and reuse the mold to make more parts. I'm making gears right now, and will post some pictures when they're done. I wanted to post this just to say, don't give up on some old piece of gear with missing or broken parts, because you might be able to make very high quality copies with surprisingly little trouble. Google silicone+mold for more info. I've also seen the technique used for chocolates- anybody up for a dark chocolate V15 Type III- hey, Happy New Year! |

Amazing- I haven't subscribed to that in a few years, though I'll sometimes see an issue on the newsstand. Not to go too far OT, but a few years ago I thought their articles were too focused on selling things and not enough on educating people. If that's changed, I might resubscribe. Anyway, here's a picture of my gears for an HP8640B, the mold, and the original gear glued to a piece of Delrin. Gear diameter is about 1". Next step is to install new brass bushings and trim the excess material. They could have been cast to finished size, but I wanted a nice open cavity mold to insure full degassing and no bubbles.

I think the actual name of the compound is Poly Vinyl Siloxane.
Dentists use it for taking impressions. It sets fast, low shrinkage and blends well without many bubbles. I made a very similar looking gear years ago for a timer on an old water softener/deioniser. Saved me having to replace the whole unit. Magic stuff there. A tip... if using resin or epoxy for casting material, add some chopped cotton fiber to the mix for added strength. It looks like powdered sugar, and is sometimes used as a thickening agent too. You can find it at body shops, boat repair supplies etc. I think I bought mine at Aircraft Spruce. Money well spent.

give me some reasons why this kid wont make it in the nfl.
it just seems like the perfect match for the texans in rd1.
Ok, I will give it a shot.
He is very undersized. He is only 5'9 which is tiny for an NFL receiver. As a result he may have injury concerns. He will have to play the slot and those are the places WRs get and take the biggest hits. He may take a hard shot or two and it may knock him out for a few games. He is very thin. He is not very strong and unable to fight off the stronger ILBs and safetys. He likely will not be as good as he was in college. In college he routinely played against inferior opponents where a quick juke can lead to big time yards. In the NFL where the defenders are bigger, stronger, and faster it won't be as easy for him to do that.

It's not every day that a candidate for Congress says he's quoting a Nobel Prize winner, but that's how Plymouth management consultant Christopher Sheldon chose to announce his plans.
"If I may paraphrase Einstein," the Plymouth County Charter Study commissioner said in a press statement, "the challenges our country faces will not be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
Sheldon plans a formal announcement March 20 in Plymouth.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10743044 Ventura showed his face, so now he could be in DANGER.... Wait, let's post his face on the internet in case anyone missed the few second shot on TV. You people are sometimes very amusing. First off, although they make it look all "Cl.oak and dagger" (TV magic) if you think for a moment that Jessee isnt tailed, watched, tapped and generally monitored 100% (Or he is a Trojan horse)- I want some of what you are smoking. The Government (TPTB if you will) are intellegent enough and have all the Toys that if some actual whistleblower ever got close to jesse or made any contact they would be- Well, they would be done. -That is all. Its like with all their technology and countless Dollars and manpower you THINK jesse Ventura has ways of talking with anyone which isnt known who and what was said (in real time)? I want some of what you are smoking. This show is like any other on TV...it is a television "program". Jesse shows up on set, reviews the material, does the scenes and then they wrap. He does not design nor control ANYTHING (except not flying commercially). What ANY national network shows you is what they want you to see. With every episode of Conspiracy Theory, especially as it gets further into the series, you can see it clearly. This type of programming not only increases ratings by making viewers watch something secret that they are not supposed to see but also, makes sure they are duped with whatever the owners want you to see. Shows like this prove that they are just getting more and more on top of their game...all while the people sheep...oops, I meant sleep. If you want the truth about anything, you have to find it yourself - anything given to you is tainted with bias. |
WhiteRabbit_UO User ID: 38165451 United States 04/16/2013 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I appreciate all the concern. Unfortunately, due to some pretty unsettling occurrences since the show aired, I've had to lay kind of low. I wish I could say more on that, but I really can't at the moment. Let's just say certain people and agencies have been making disturbing inquiries and requests for information. As for my face, I am rather upset about that. I had an explicit agreement with the show to blur my face AND disguise my voice. Obviously, they didn't disguise my voice at all, in addition to doing a piss poor job of blurring my face. I'd like to chalk that up to simple incompetence, but I was extremely adamant about the need to preserve my anonymity... I'll try to check in again at some point, but it may be a while. Things are a little too hot at the moment. But again, I appreciate the concern and I wanted to let you guys know. Also, I'd like to make a separate note about a user that posted here named YOUCITY and some incorrect statements he made... YOUCITY posted for a while at our site, primarily posting information about paranormal things. Our site isn't really about that sort of thing, but most of our users have a passing interest in it. YOUCITY, however, was very erratic, constantly posting conflicting information, starting antagonistic flamewars for no reason, etc. He'd say one thing and then say the opposite another time. He was constantly going into threads that had nothing to do with paranormal content whatsoever and starting flamewars about exactly that subject. Honestly, I'm not much for conspiracy theories, but the guy is either completely nuts or schizophrenic or something, or he's some kind of disinfo agent. We warned him multiple times not to derail threads and stop starting flamewars and keep any paranormal postings to threads related to that subject, but he continued to go into unrelated threads and start little pissing matches. We actually only banned him because he went into a memorial thread for City Museum founder Bob Cassilly (someone my users have GREAT affection for) and started crapping it up with his usual stuff. We all found that so offensive to the deceased that he was banned permanently. I apologize for going on about him, but I felt the need to refute what he said and advise you to keep a lazy eye on him since he may or may not be what he seems to be. Thanks again guys. I'll report in when things are a little cooler. WhiteRabbit_UO |

Given the power of Drosophila genetics, it may seem surprising to discover that many fly researchers are turning to Drosophila cell culture as an experimental system. However, as we will show in this chapter, there are many benefits to be gained by using cell lines as a complement to studies in a tissue and developmental context in the fly. Moreover, one can argue that Drosophila cell culture, in itself, provides an excellent model system for the study of many fundamental questions in molecular and cellular biology. In this review, we offer a summary of techniques that should be useful to researchers in the Drosophila community working with fly cell lines. These include techniques for growing and maintaining cell lines, transient and stable transfection, RNA interference, imaging, immunostaining, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and for the isolation of RNA and protein from fly cells.

Company officials say this means InstaTelecom Inc. will provide clients with
911/e911 service limitation and safety information identifying the differences
between E911 available with traditional phone service and the emergency
services associated with VoIP service thusly:
When customers register for the 911 service, they must correctly identify the
actual service address where they will be using the VoIP service. When dialing
911 on their phone, they will be connected to an emergency call taker who will
ask the client to confirm that they are located at their registered location.
Once the emergency call taker can confirm or update the service address, the
emergency call taker will route the call to emergency personnel responsible for
the clients' service address.
So when customers travel or move they must update their new location information and have broadband Internet service for 911 dialing to function properly. If a client wants to change the location where their service will be used, they must update their registered location and must provide at least ten days prior notice of their new service address in order to avoid delays and loss of emergency services.
Emergency service associated with VoIP has certain limitations, including the fact that 911 emergency dialing is only available on approved devices or equipment and upon completion of the 911 acknowledgement process. If you use other equipment, 911 may fail.
Plus 911 emergency dialing will not function if the clients' VoIP device – SIP
phone, adaptor, whatever you're using – fails, is not configured correctly, or
if the service is not working for any reason, including because of power
outage, broadband internet service outage, network congestion,
suspension/disconnection of service because of non-payment or late payment, or
if they fail to meet the minimum technical service requirements.

Is the federal criminal code out of control? Experts told a House panel on Tuesday that it includes over 4,500 statutes -- that's in addition to another 300,000 agency regulations that impose other criminal sanctions.
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R., Wis.) believes this is a problem, as the lesser known prohibitions often ensnare well-meaning citizens. He's thus proposed a bill that will reduce the federal criminal code by 1/3.
It's still over 1,200 pages in length.
The Criminal Code Modernization and Simplification Act (H.R. 1823) is a complete overhaul. It reorganizes the code and consolidates offenses. There is a common set of definitions, and the code only includes one "attempt" and one "conspiracy."
It also tries to clear up any confusion about the applicable mens rea, according to a statement released by Rep. Sensenbrenner. If possible, a crime will include the word "knowingly" or some higher standard. Only "regulatory" offenses will require "willfulness."
If adopted, the Act would be the first revision in almost 50 years. With Congress adding some 500 new crimes a decade, there are undoubtedly a number of duplicates. Some statutes have even gone 30 years without use, claims the Congressman.
The new code would arguably be easier to navigate for citizens, judges and attorneys alike. But could it also complicate things?
For example, the proposal would move immigration and drug crimes out of Titles 8 and 21 into Title 18. But those provisions will likely still rely on definitions located in the former Titles. Legal professionals will understand this, but will ordinary citizens?
Keeping this in mind, do you think the code overhaul is a good idea? Or should it be left alone?

LAST UPDATED: 09:44 a.m. HST, May 07, 2014
SALT LAKE CITY >> The University of Utah is seeking input on updating its fight song, "I'm a Utah Man."
Some say the lyrics, which include phrases like "our coeds are the fairest," are sexist, while others want to stick with tradition.
University of Utah, President David Pershing has asked the Office of Student Affairs to form a committee that will weigh changes to the song, "Utah Man" after student government leaders and a faculty body passed resolutions urging the changes.
The debate is not limited to the University of Utah.
Universities, students and alumni across the country have wrestled with new views and attitudes vs. sentiment and tradition. Some have led to change, while others have stayed the same.
The school in 2009 trimmed one of its fight songs to discourage football fans from chanting "the South will rise again" after critics said it was an offensive reminder of the region's intolerant past. But some fans continued chanting at the end of the song, "From Dixie With Love" during Ole Miss band performances of the medley before and after games.
In 2007, the university revised the last line of its fight song -- played at each athletic events -- to acknowledge women athletes, the U.S. Fed News reported that year. Officials and student leaders changed a line from "Here's to each valiant son" to "Here's to each valiant one."
In 2006, Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant switched its mascot from Savages to Savage Storm to comply with NCAA rules against "hostile and abusive" nicknames and symbols. The university said the Savage Storm mascot referred to the region's fierce storms. The school introduced a new fight song after previously changing the lyrics "savage land" to "noble land."
The University of New Hampshire in 2006 stopped playing the song "Black Betty," by the band Ram Jam before hockey games. The school had been using the song to rally fans for about a decade, despite the NAACP's 30-year-old stance that the song was offensive to black women. The school's athletic director banned it after receiving complaints and urging from a student group.
In 2003, some alumni at New Mexico State University lobbied for the school to rethink boozy references in its fight song that includes the line, "And when we win this game we'll buy a keg of booze and drink it to the Aggies 'til we wobble in our shoes." The critics chanted a revised version of the song at a football game, but other fans booed, causing them to drop the effort for change.

Loulan, also called Krorän or Kroraina (simplified Chinese: 楼兰; traditional Chinese: 樓蘭; pinyin: Lóulán; Uyghur: كروران, ULY: Kroran ), and known to Russian archaeologists as Krorayina, was an ancient kingdom based around an important oasis city along the Silk Road already known in the 2nd century BCE on the north-eastern edge of the Lop Desert.[1] The term Loulan is the Chinese transcription of the native name Krorän, and is used to refer to the city located near Lop Nur as well as the kingdom.
The kingdom was renamed Shanshan (鄯善) after its king was assassinated by an envoy of Han Dynasty in 77 BCE;[2] however, the town at the northwestern corner of the brackish desert lake Lop Nur retained the name of Loulan. The kingdom included at various times settlements such as Niya, Charklik, Miran, and Qiemo. It was intermittently under Chinese control from the early Han Dynasty until its abandonment centuries later. The ruins of Loulan are near the now desiccated Lop Nur in the Bayin'gholin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, and are now completely surrounded by desert.[3]
A 3,800-year-old female mummy (c. 1800 BCE), the first of a series of mummies now known as the Tarim mummies, was discovered in Loulan in 1980, indicating very early settlement of the region.
Loulan was on the main route from Dunhuang to Korla, where it joined the so-called "northern route," and was also connected by a route southwest to the kingdom's seat of government in the town of Wuni in the Charkhlik/Ruoqiang oasis, and from thence to Khotan and Yarkand.[4]
Early Han Dynasty[edit]
The first historical mention of Loulan was in a letter from the Chanyu of the Xiongnu to the Chinese Emperor in 126 BCE in which he boasted of conquering the Yuezhi, the Wusun, Loulan, and Hujie (呼揭), "as well as the twenty-six states nearby." In 126 BCE, the Chinese envoy Zhang Qian described Loulan as a fortified city near Lop Nur.[5]
Because of its strategic position on what became the main route from China to the West, during the Han Dynasty, control of it was regularly contested between the Chinese and the Xiongnu until well into the 2nd century CE.[6] In Hanshu, the early interactions of Loulan with the Han court were described in some detail.[7]
In the 2nd century BCE, the Emperor Wu of Han was interested in extending contact with Dayuan (Fergana) after receiving reports of the country from Zhang Qian. However, according to Chinese sources, Han envoys to Fergana were harassed by Loulan and Gushi. In 108 BCE, Loulan was attacked and its king captured, after which Loulan agreed to pay a tribute to Han China. The Xiongnu, on hearing of these events, also attacked Loulan. The king of Loulan therefore elected to send one of his sons as a hostage to the Xiongnu, and another to the Han court.
The king of Loulan was then taken to the Han court and interrogated about his association with the Xiongnu. The Hanshu records that:
" | The Emperor commanded [Jen] Wen to lead the troops by a suitable route, to arrest the king of Lou-lan and to bring him to the palace at the capital city. [Jen Wen] interrogated by presenting him with a bill of indictment, which he answered by claiming that [Lou-lan] was a small state lying between large states, and that unless it subjected itself to both parties, there would be no means of keeping itself in safety; he therefore wished to remove his kingdom and take up residence within the Han territory. | " |
— Hanshu, chapter 96a, translation from Hulsewé 1979.[8]
The Han emperor was satisfied with the statement and released the king.
In 92 BCE, the king of Loulan died, and his countrymen requested that the king's son be returned to Loulan. However, the Han court had castrated his son for infringement of Han laws and so it refused the request, claiming that the Han Emperor had grown too fond of him to let him go. Another king was installed in Loulan, and again a son was sent as hostage when demanded by the Han court. After the death of this king, the Xiongnu returned the hostage son sent to them, named Chang Gui or An Gui (嘗歸 or 安歸), to Loulan to rule as king. The Han, on hearing this, demanded that the new king present himself to the Han court. This, on his wife's advice, the king refused, on account of the fact that neither of the hostage sons sent to the Han court had been returned.
In 77 BCE, the Chinese envoy Fu Jiezi was sent to kill the Loulan king after several Han envoys were killed. He arrived on the pretext of carrying gold and valuables to the outer states and intending to present the king with gifts, but stabbed the Loulan king to death while he was drunk, and had severed head of the king hung from the northern gate tower.[9] The king's younger brother Wei-tu-qi (尉屠耆) was then installed as the king of Loulan by the Han court, and the kingdom was renamed Shanshan.[10]
After the Han Dynasty had gained control of Loulan, the renamed kingdom of Shanshan became a Chinese puppet state.[11] The newly installed king, fearing retribution from the sons of the assassinated king, requested that a contingent of Han forces be established in Yixun (伊循, variously identified as Charklik or Miran). Chinese army officers were therefore sent to colonise the area, and an office of commandant was established at Yixun.[12] A number of settlements in the Tarim Basin such as Qiemo and Niya were indicated in Hanshu to be independent states, but these later became part of Shanshan. While the name of the kingdom was changed to Shanshan by the Chinese, the Loulan region continued to be known as Kroran by the locals.
The region remained under Chinese control intermittently, and when China was weak in the Western Regions Loulan was essentially independent. In 25 CE it was recorded that Loulan was in league with the Xiongnu. Around 119, Ban Yong recommended that a Chinese colony of 500 men be established in Loulan.[13] A later military colony was established at Loulan by the Chinese General So Man. It was recorded that in 222 CE Shanshan sent tribute to China, and that in 283 the son of the king was sent as a hostage to the Chinese court during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty.[14] Loulan was also recorded as a dependent kingdom of Shanshan in the 3rd century Weilüe.[15] The town of Loulan was abandoned in 330 CE due to lack of water when the Tarim River, which supported the settlement, changed course; the military garrison was moved 50 kilometres (31 mi) south to Haitou (海頭). The fort of Yingpan to the northwest remained under Chinese control until the Tang Dynasty.[16] According to Weishu, in 442 CE, the king of Shanshan, named Bilong, fled to Qiemo (Cherchen) together with half of his countrymen after an attack by Juqu Anzhou on Shanshan, and Shanshan then came to be ruled by Qiemo.[17] In 445 Shanshan submitted to the Northern Wei. At the end of the 6th century, the Sui Dynasty established the city state of Shanshan.[11]
After the 5th century, however, the land was frequently invaded by nomads such as Tuyuhuns, the Rourans, and the Dingling, and the area gradually became abandoned. At around 630 (at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty period), the remaining Shanshan people, led by Shan Fu Tuo (鄯伏陁), migrated to Hami in the Northern area.[11] The Buddhist pilgrim Xuanzang passed through this region in 644 on his return from India to China, visited a town called Nafubo (納縛波, thought to be Charklik) of the Loulan country, and he also wrote of Qiemo: "A fortress exists, but not a trace of man".[18]
Descriptions in historical accounts[edit]
According to Hanshu, Han envoys described the troops of Loulan as weak and easy to attack.[19] Shanshan was said to have 1570 households and 14,000 individuals, with 2912 persons able to bear arms,[20] It further describes the region thus:
" | The land is sandy and salt, and there are few cultivated fields. The state hopes to obtain [the produce of] cultivated fields and look to neighbouring states for field-crops. It produces jade and there is an abundance of rushes, tamarisk, the balsam poplar, and white grass. In company with their flocks and herds the inhabitants go in search of water and pasture, and there are asses, horses and large number of camels. [The inhabitants] are capable of making military weapons in the same way as the Ch'o of the Ch'iang tribes.[21] | " |
According to Shui Jing Zhu, General Suo Mai (索勱, also So Man) of Dunhuang introduced irrigation techniques to the region by damming the Zhubin (possibly the Kongque) river to irrigate the fields, and produced bumper harvest for the next three years.[22]
The Buddhist pilgrim Faxian who stayed in Shanshan in 399 on the way to India, described the country thus:
" | ...a country rugged and hilly, with a thin and barren soil. The clothes of the common people are coarse, and like those worn in our land of Han, some wearing felt and others coarse serge or cloth of hair; — this was the only difference seen among them. The king professed (our) Law, and there might be in the country more than four thousand monks who were all students of the hînayâna. The common people of this and other kingdoms (in that region), as well as the śramans, all practise the rules of India, only that the latter do so more exactly, and the former more loosely. | " |
— A Record of the Buddhist Countries, translation by James Legge[23]
The early settlers in Loulan were an Indo-European people called the Tocharians who lived in the region as early as 1800 BCE. Their language is sometimes called Tocharian C.[24] However, the official language used in the region from the third to fourth century CE was Prakrit written in Kharoshthi scripts, perhaps introduced by Gandharan migrants from the Kushan Empire around 200 CE.[25] The local language was not recorded except for proper names and around 150 loan words in the Kharoshthi scripts. The Gandharans also introduced Buddhism to Loulan.
Sven Hedin[edit]
The ruined city of Loulan was discovered by Sven Hedin who excavated some houses and found a wooden Kharosthi tablet and many Chinese manuscripts from the Western Jin Dynasty (265–420) which recorded that the area was called "Krorän" by the locals in Kharosthi (but which was rendered as "Lou-lan" in Chinese)[11][26]
Aurel Stein[edit]
Aurel Stein made further excavations in 1906 and 1914 around the old lake of Lop Nur, and identified sites in the area which he named L (standing for Loulan) followed by a letter of the alphabet (A to T) allocated in the chronological order the sites were visited.[27] Stein recovered many artifacts, including various documents, a wool-pile carpet fragment, some yellow silk, and Gandharan architectural wood-carvings.
L.A. - A walled settlement lying to the north of the lake. The thick wall is made of packed-earth and straw, and was over 1,000 feet (300 m) on each side, and 20 feet (6.1 m) thick at the base. It contains a large stupa and some administrative buildings and was occupied for a long time. This is usually thought to be the city of Loulan.
L.B. - A site with stupas at 13 km to the northwest of the L.A..
L.E. - A fortified town lying 30 kilometers to the northeast of L.A.. It is the only known city in the region with a northern gate. Since a northern gate was mentioned in the Han Chinese text about the assassination of the king of Loulan, this is therefore suggested by some to be the capital of Loulan in the 1st century BCE before the Han Chinese gained control the region. Others, however, argue that the northern gate does not refer to Loulan but Chang'an. The site was occupied until the late 3rd century CE.
L.F. - 10 kilometers (6 mi.) to the northwest of L.A., containing building foundations and a cemetery. Archaeologists discovered the body of a young man in a wooden coffin, wearing a felt hat and leather boots and lying under a woolen blanket. A bunch of ephedra twigs was placed beside him in a similar fashion to many much older burials found in the region.
L.K. - A walled city to the west of the lake with only a single gateway in the city wall. This has been identified as Haitou by some archaeologists.[28]
L.L. - A fortress lying 5 km north-west of L.K., similar in construction to L.K. but smaller.
Chinese archaeological expedition, 1979-1980[edit]
In 1979 and 1980, three archaeological expeditions sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Xinjiang Branch performed excavations in Loulan.[29] They discovered a man-made canal, 15 feet (4.6 m) deep and 55 feet (17 m) wide, running through Loulan from northwest to southeast; a 32-foot (9.8 m) high earthen dome-shaped Buddhist stupa; and a 41 feet (12 m) long by 28 feet (8.5 m) wide home, apparently for a Chinese official, housing 3 rooms and supported by wooden pillars. They also collected 797 objects from the area, including vessels of wood, bronze objects, jewelry and coins, and Mesolithic stone tools[30][31] Other reported (2003) finds in the area include additional mummies and burial grounds, ephedra sticks, a string bracelet that holds a hollowed jade stone, a leather pouch, a woolen loincloth, a wooden mask painted red and with large nose and teeth, boat-shaped coffins, a bow with arrows, and a straw basket.

P3 is hard 5.11 sent free. Bonner hand jam in the crack last of the bolt-line. Good bolts near chossy chossy rock. Good new boots right next to bad ones. Ladders not necessary for p3. You can pull on draws post the hardest move through bolt 2 of 4. Chain at each belay. Make double sure your partner knows safe multi-pitch technique. Hard moves on chossy, dusty rock off the deck to start the route. 5.11 something. |

What's a Bonner Hand Jam? Where is last of the bolt line? |
By emorekul Oct 15, 2014 |
Bomber hand Jam* Left of the Bolt Line* Anyone know when this was bolted? |
By Derek Strittmatter From: Houston, Texas Nov 13, 2014 |
I'm not sure when it was originally bolted, but according to the Austin Climbing book, the bolts were replaced in 2005. |
By BJB From: Austin, TX Jan 24, 2015 |
This really is an incredible route. Not sure I have climbed anything quite like p2 anywhere. Beware that if you do the whole route when the water is running, you are probably going to be rapping into the river. If it has rained in the last few days, the last pitch is going to be wet at the end. |

This is the baseball resume for Jack Harris of San Antonio Texas. This is a fairly extensive resume and the family covered all the bases (no pun intended). Here they have individual statistics, covered hitting for average, hitting for power, speed, fielding and versatility, arm strength, work ethic & desire, awards, and most impressive of all, comments from coaches that Jack has competed against. They chose to include some medical information which is important for coaches to know and while that may scare some coaches away, the family has noted that Jack has not missed a game in 3 years due to his condition. They concluded by providing the full contact info for the family, the high school, the high school coach, and the tournament select coach. There is one critical piece of information missing from this resume and that is academic information. Jack has been diagnosed with Dyslexia and while he has been taking regular high school courses, his best efforts have not produced a high GPA or SAT score. That was a family decision, but had they chosen to include it, that information would have been neatly displayed similar to the rest of the resume.

On defense Jack throws a straight ball – with fingers coming straight down over the ball.
On throws from the field there is no tail or curve. His throws have good 12-6 backspin.
Jack Harris – EXCELLENT SPEED
Jack has been timed as low as 6.6 seconds in the 60. However, he is usually between 6.75 and 6.85 seconds.
Jack Harris – VERSATILE IN THE FIELD
Although a natural Shortstop, Jack played Centerfield in 2001 and 2002 in HS and made one error in 58 games. He has excellent range and gets a good jump on the ball.
Some scouts were "projecting" Jack as a Middle Infielder – they said he didn't have the 6.6 speed they were looking for at CF and he didn't have enough power to play LF or RF.
Instead of being "projected" as an infielder, Jack decided to "show" his skills in the infield. He moved to Shortstop for the 2003 season and is playing very well. He has great lateral range and has a good backhand. His throws to 1st are very hard and on-target.
Does Jack Work at His Game?
Jack takes thousands of cuts and hundred of grounders each week. In addition to high school practice, he works out on a ball field right outside his back door almost daily.
Jack Harris
His forearms are rock-solid and have been for several years. This is from swinging the bat – not from lifting weights.
In preparation for the HS season, he usually hits 3-4,000 balls a month for 4 months – outdoors and in all temperatures and with wood.
He has worked with many instructors. For the last two years he has seen Rocky Thompson (former Cub) for hitting and Rob Swain (former Indian) for defense on a regular basis. They come to Jack's home and give lessons to Jack as well as several other players.
Can Jack Hit With Wood?
Jack uses wood bats in his cage at home daily. He usually hits 3 buckets of 50 balls each evening.
Jack has been to many wood bat tournaments and showcases and has plenty of pop off of wood bats.
He has hit balls out of Tropicana Field (St. Petersburg) and Minute Maid Park (Houston) in showcases using wood bats.
Jack's Only 5'11", will he grow?
Who knows? However, his dad is 6'7" and his 21 year-old brother is 6'2".
Isn't Jack sick?
Jack came down with Type I Diabetes during his high school freshman season (March 2000). He takes insulin daily using an insulin pump. He checks his blood sugar regularly and watches what he eats. Jack has taken charge of the situation and is handling it very well.
He has never missed a game in the past 3 years because of diabetes.
The only games Jack has ever missed were 3 games at the start of the 2002 HS season due to a broken toe.
Has Jack Signed a NLOI?
Jack signed with San Jacinto College in Houston on a full scholarship. San Jac is the #1 ranked JUCO in the country and has a superb program.
Although courted by many good programs, Jack has not signed with a D-1 program – yet.
Teams making offers include: Houston, Baylor, Auburn, Alabama, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Does Jack Want to Play Pro Ball?
Yes. And he wants to take the fastest track to get him not just to pro ball but to the majors.
The "fastest route" might be:
1) Go to San Jacinto and then sign a pro contract in 2004 or 2005, or
2) Go to San Jac and then a D1 before signing a pro deal in 2006, or
3) Go to a D1 before signing a professional contract in 2006, or
4) Or it might mean signing a professional contract right out of HS in 2003.
What Awards Has Jack Won?

2001 MVP - U of Houston Select Camp/Tournament
2002 "We have always liked Harris. We've seen him much better than he showed at Tropicana. He did have some stitches put in his elbow while attending. Still he showed great bat speed and hitting ability and one of the strongest outfield arms at the event. He's just a natural hitter, very aggressive with great hitting ability. He ran a 6.92, but we've seen him run better. Definitely a top prospect! 91 from the OF" --- Perfect Game Report after PG National Top Prospect Showcase in Florida (June 2002)
2002 "He is probably the toughest out in the city. He can hit to any field, go short ball or hit it out of the park. And he adjusts to any pitching. You try your best to keep him off balance and not develop a pattern, or he will pick it up." --- Churchill HS Head Coach Hector Rodriguez (5-31-02 newspaper article)
2002 "He's the best player in the district." --- MacArthur HS Head Coach Paul Lindy (5-31-02 newspaper article) In 2002 Jack went a combined 4 for 5 in two district games against MacArthur, including a homer and two doubles. He drove in six runs and scored five in a sweep of the district's second-place team.
2001 "I talked to Andy Ford at Perfect Game the other day and he spoke very highly of Jack's performance at the Baylor showcase. In fact, he thought Jack was probably the best pure hitter there." --- Randy McLain, Ohio Thunder (2001)
2001 "Tough kid. Really wants to play. Average hands w/good feet, has a 3rd base arm strength. Athletic. Swing is stiff, but has quick hands through the zone. Has a lot of raw pop, just needs to clean up mechanics to create some looseness in swing." --- (Midwest Prospects Showcase June 2001)

I don't know about the second paragraph... I think the major reason people have moved to thinking of serious enrichment infrastructure as being synonymous with being a nuclear weapons state is because we've seen even "primitive" nations be successful with weaponization programs very quickly. It seems like everybody succeeds on their first try. I don't think people thought that would be the case twenty years ago. There was a prevailing meme that only "advanced" nations could do it, and places like Pakistan and North Korea would require a long period of trial and error. That turned out to be wrong.

What he's "on to" is that fact that technology from the 1940s isn't getting any harder to copy, not only because of technological advances but also because each new country that builds a bomb is another potential source of knowledge for the next country that does it. It's highly questionable that antiproliferators are going to prevent any more nations from building nukes for all eternity given the incentives involved. Posted March 8, 2013 11:01 PM
