Julia (I), Lisa Sparxxx, Kaitlyn, Madison (I), Traelle, Susie (I), Sadie, Gen
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Pro-Am
Keep this one stocked in the oral subcategory: esophagus-stretchers.
This video takes young, sweet girls on their knees, choking on man-meat being shoved down their throats, and twists it into a watchable feat of endurance. Included is a metric ton of sizzling, gag-inducing, tonsil-pummeling action.
To describe cutie Susie's performance as bashful is like calling Colonal Sander's chicken addictive. It's a bit of an understatement. She takes her cues from the book of timid with an oral presentation so introverted it would make Diane Wiest cheer her on.
A scene of particular note is Kaitlyn's bathroom gag (pun intended) in which she discusses the merits of choking down the pork sword of her best-friend's boyfriend. The unidentified swordsman/cameraman feels it is his duty to teach the Marcia Brady-lookalike the finer points of throat-fucking.
Another features an enthusiastic Gen anxiously awaiting a Spam javelin to be not-so-delicately shoved down her gaping maw. Her unbridled moxie and lack of experience makes for a sure-fire winning combination.
Jailbait fetishists should be on the lookout for criminally youthful looking covergirl Madison. Her barely-there titties may only be molehills, but she takes a mountain's worth of sweetmeat down her gullet.

Salem Mayor Gives State of the City Address Monday
Salem Mayor John Raymer painted an upbeat message in his annual State of the City Message to the city council Monday night, outlining accomplishments in virtually all areas of the city.Raymer says the city's location gives the city opportunity for the future. "On an average day 12,000 vehicles travel Route 50 one way or another through our town. 10,000 travel on Interstate 57, and fewer than a 1,000 of them stop in Salem. Salem's location as the county seat, the fairgrounds, and as a recreation area continues to give us an advantage. Any more retail business from interstate traffic remains a new potential source for local business prosperity", said Raymer.
Raymer says sales tax collections increased by nearly five percent over 2011. He reports reserves in the general fund remain very low, but the city council remains committed to operating within funds available and leaving tax rates as they are.
Raymer says the weather is one of his big concerns for 2013. "Drought remains a big concern. With many area farmers contributing to the agricultural economy, the recent drought reduced the available jobs and opportunities in farming. The city's water supply from Carlyle Lake could be affected by declining water levels and increase the need for more water to be released for Mississippi River operations", said Raymer.
Raymer says 2012 was a good year for the city's job base. "Manufacturing is a bright spot with the announcement of new jobs at North American Lighting and stability in outdoor pre-fabricating building and decking, athletic equipment production, abrasives, electrical power maintenance, propane truck fabrication, tire capping, tornado shelter fabrication, and many mixed producers that maintain small operations. Retail operations remain stable as well as real estate and financial services", said Raymer.
Raymer says seven new businesses began operation in the downtown area, with an eighth moving to a new location. He noted the expansion of Rollinson's to a full line appliance store. Raymer says a number of infrastructure improvements were completed, including the resurfacing of South College and North Shelby Street, replacement of the water main on West Main, and installation of new sewer pipes in the Frisco area.
Raymer also noted the appointment of a Bryan Park Advisory Committee that will address concerns over the conditions of trees and city equipment in all the parks. Raymer noted the Salem Aquatic Center as the new jewel in Bryan Park. He noted the work of the Department of Emergency Management to plan for potential problems, the various activities of the Recreation Department, and the large number of special events held in the community.
Raymer concluded his message by listing 35 specific accomplishments by the City that he called the Signs of Life in Salem 2012.

"Hot Rod" DeMink firing on all pistons
Patrick Henderson 1 p.m., May 3
Uh-oh. We knew that handing the reins for the upcoming superduper-crossover-megafranchise Avengers movie to ubernerd Joss Whedon was risky, but this poster has us more than a little nervous. Four of the six superpeople pictured cannot fly, and yet, there they are, waaaaaay up in the sky.
Which kind of forces us to conclude that they're being dragged up into that wormhole thing you can see rending the heavens behind The Hulk. Avengers: Lost in Space? Looks like someone's still a little bit bitter about Firefly's cancellation.

[DRM-free Comic Book] First Five, issue #1
Hey guys, I wanted to let you know about my new independent digital comic book publishing effort; we literally just released our first issue as a DRM-free CBZ file.
I wrote and tested an iPad app (here), but I would like to see how well it works on a Kindle DX or other e-ink device (I don't own one yet). If anyone buys the comic, please send photos of it displayed on an e-ink device to einkphotos @ squarecitycomics.com. The comic: http://www.squarecitycomics.com/firstfive/1/1/ Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to get the latest updates on issues (I'm not going to spam this board every time we release an issue, just this once). I know I haven't ever posted here, but I've been using this board for a long time; every Google search I do leads me back here. Insights into CBZ files on the Kindle and comparisons to the Nook have been very interesting. I love e-ink and can't wait until I can afford one (playing with demo units aren't enough). Thank you all. |

Island kids find the rhythms in a play by Shakespeare
A group of 7- to 13-year-old island kids has teamed up to tackle the high drama of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," and they'll show off what they've learned about sword-fighting, family feuds and doomed romance at a free performance this weekend.
The show is the culmination of a class offered by the Vashon Shakespeare Festival, a new organization on the island founded by Aimée Lewis van Roekel, a talented theater artist and educator who recently moved to the island.
Lewis van Roekel teaches weekly Shakespeare-for-kids classes and camps at Ober Park. "Romeo and Juliet" is her second offering; earlier in the year, she led an after-school class that explored the Bard's "Twelfth Night, or What You Will," a more comedic and playful work.
But this time around, she said, her students have embraced the challenges of a play she said is often misunderstood as simply being a love story.
"It's really much more about the pointless war between the two families, so that's fun for them — kids can get into that," she said, adding that she has let her students act their ages when it come to the passion that is also embedded in the play.
"They just giggle their way through the balcony scene," she said.
Lewis van Roekel brings a wealth of experience to her work. As a performer and director, she's worked with companies in New York and San Francisco, piling up an impressive list of credits and collaborations with well-known theater artists. And as a teacher, she brought the educational programs of the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival to at-risk youth throughout the Bay Area.
Family connections and her husband's job in Seattle brought Lewis van Roekel to Vashon, a place she said she's excited to share her love of Shakespeare with children.
"The kids on this island are smart," she said. "They are really fearless — there is not a lot of timidity with these kids."

Potatoes are electrochemical batteries made primarily of starch, but they're also cute little badges that you can get for your Steam profile by doing certain random Portal 2 related tasks in all of the games in Steam's Potato Sack Bundle. The potatoes originally started out as a source of power to get GLaDOS, the snarky computer running the Aperture Science research facility in Portal 2, back up and running.
There are 36 potatoes to be found throughout the 13 Potato Sack games. Once you perform the task in-game, a special login screen will pop up and you have to input a password that will unlock the potato. The potatoes are no longer being used to power up GLaDOS, that's now done through actually playing the 13 indie games, but if you find all 36 of the potatoes then Valve has promised a special surprise once Portal 2 does release.
After the break you'll find the full list of potatoes, where to find them, and the password you need to input to unlock the badge.
FIRST: Go join http://steamcommunity.com/groups/nelipot for a free potato!

From: TSS ()
Ag secretary downplays mad cow threat By Barry Shlachter Star-Telegram Staff Writer Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns complained Friday that much news coverage of the countrys two cases of mad cow disease have been inaccurate, costing the beef industry billions of dollars, while the threat from bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, is minuscule. The reality is this: there is no BSE outbreak in the United States, and there never was, Johanns said in plain-spoken remarks to meat industry officials on Wednesday. The American Meat Institute, an industry group, released a transcript of the secretarys speech on Friday. http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/12370540.htm the usda et al are hiding madcows (this well documented in Texas with the SSS policy strictly enforced), and an cjd cluster in Idaho of 6 suspect victims in a state with a population of 1.4 million. i would say johann et al are dazed and confused... Texas SSS Policy firstname.lastname@example.com Anthrax Confirmed in Sutton County, Texas snip... Anthrax is under-reported, because many ranchers in this area automatically dispose of carcasses and vaccinate livestock when they find dead animals that are bloated or bloody--common signs of the disease, said Dr. Fancher. Anthrax is a reportable disease, however, and its important to know when an outbreak occurs, so other ranchers can be notified to vaccinate......... snip...end Aug. 13, 2005, 12:53AM Tom Shanahan, a spokesman for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, said five of the cases involve people who have already died, lived in neighboring counties and were over the age of 60. The sixth case centered on a man, also over the age of 60, who lived 90 miles away and was still alive. CJD is a rare brain-wasting disease in humans that usually affects people in their 60s or 70s. It is not the same as the human form of mad cow disease, which is known as CJD variant and is linked to eating beef from infected cattle. "There are no indicators that it was anything but classic CJD," Shanahan said. Naturally occurring CJD is found at a rate of about one case per 1 million population annually, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Yet in a state with only 1.4 million people, the fact that Idaho has so many suspected cases of the rare disease has sparked concern. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/nation/3308577 Report Summary The European Food Safety Authority and its Scientific Expert Working Group on the Assessment of the Geographical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Risk (GBR) were asked by the European Commission (EC) to provide an up-to-date scientific report on the GBR in the United States of America, i.e. the likelihood of the presence of one or more cattle being infected with BSE, pre-clinically as well as clinically, in USA. This scientific report addresses the GBR of USA as assessed in 2004 based on data covering the period 1980-2003. The BSE agent was probably imported into USA and could have reached domestic cattle in the middle of the eighties. These cattle imported in the mid eighties could have been rendered in the late eighties and therefore led to an internal challenge in the early nineties. It is possible that imported meat and bone meal (MBM) into the USA reached domestic cattle and leads to an internal challenge in the early nineties. A processing risk developed in the late 80s/early 90s when cattle imports from BSE risk countries were slaughtered or died and were processed (partly) into feed, together with some imports of MBM. This risk continued to exist, and grew significantly in the mid 90s when domestic cattle, infected by imported MBM, reached processing. Given the low stability of the system, the risk increased over the years with continued imports of cattle and MBM from BSE risk countries. EFSA concludes that the current GBR level of USA is III, i.e. it is likely but not confirmed that domestic cattle are (clinically or pre-clinically) infected with the BSE-agent. As long as there are no significant changes in rendering or feeding, the stability remains extremely/very unstable. Thus, the probability of cattle to be (pre-clinically or clinically) infected with the BSE-agent persistently increases. http://www.efsa.eu.int/science/efsa_scientific_reports/gbr_assessments/573_en.html FDA Statement Statement on Texas Cow With Central Nervous System Symptoms FDA, which is responsible for the safety of animal feed, immediately began an investigation. On Friday and throughout the weekend, FDA investigators inspected the slaughterhouse, the rendering facility, the farm where the animal came from, and the processor that initially received the cow from the slaughterhouse. FDA's investigation showed that the animal in question had already been rendered into "meat and bone meal" (a type of protein animal feed). Over the weekend FDA was able to track down all the implicated material. That material is being held by the firm, which is cooperating fully with FDA. Cattle with central nervous system symptoms are of particular interest because cattle with bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE, also known as "mad cow disease," can exhibit such symptoms. In this case, there is no way now to test for BSE. But even if the cow had BSE, FDA's animal feed rule would prohibit the feeding of its rendered protein to other ruminant animals (e.g., cows, goats, sheep, bison). FDA is sending a letter to the firm summarizing its findings and informing the firm that FDA will not object to use of this material in swine feed only. If it is not used in swine feed, this material will be destroyed. Pigs have been shown not to be susceptible to BSE. If the firm agrees to use the material for swine feed only, FDA will track the material all the way through the supply chain from the processor to the farm to ensure that the feed is properly monitored and used only as feed for pigs. To protect the U.S. against BSE, FDA works to keep certain mammalian protein out of animal feed for cattle and other ruminant animals. FDA established its animal feed rule in 1997 after the BSE epidemic in the U.K. showed that the disease spreads by feeding infected ruminant protein to cattle. Under the current regulation, the material from this Texas cow is not allowed in feed for cattle or other ruminant animals. FDA's action specifying that the material go only into swine feed means also that it will not be fed to poultry. FDA is committed to protecting the U.S. from BSE and collaborates closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on all BSE issues. The animal feed rule provides crucial protection against the spread of BSE, but it is only one of several such firewalls. FDA will soon be improving the animal feed rule, to make this strong system even stronger. #### http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/news/2004/NEW01061.html .1 gram is lethal; THE TEXAS GONZALES/PURINA INCIDENT SHOWED THAT 5.5 GRAMS OF FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FDA ANNOUNCES TEST RESULTS FROM TEXAS FEED LOT Today the Food and Drug Administration announced the results of tests FDA has determined that each animal could have consumed, at most and in It is important to note that the prohibited material was domestic in According to Dr. Bernard Schwetz, FDA's Acting Principal Deputy Despite this negligible risk, Purina Mills, Inc., is nonetheless FDA believes that Purina Mills has behaved responsibly by first This episode indicates that the multi-layered safeguard system put into FDA will continue working with USDA as well as State and local officials http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2001/NEW00752.html From: TSS (216-119-144-34.ipset24.wt.net) Risk of oral infection with bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent in primates Corinne Ida Lasmézas, Emmanuel Comoy, Stephen Hawkins, Christian Herzog, Franck Mouthon, Timm Konold, Frédéric Auvré, Evelyne Correia, Nathalie Lescoutra-Etchegaray, Nicole Salès, Gerald Wells, Paul Brown, Jean-Philippe Deslys Published online January 27, 2005 http://www.thelancet.com/journal/journal.isa It is clear that the designing scientists must also have shared Mr Bradleys surprise at the results because all the dose levels right down to 1 gram triggered infection. 6. It also appears to me that Mr Bradleys answer (that it would take less than say 100 grams) was probably given with the benefit of hindsight; particularly if one considers that later in the same answer Mr Bradley expresses his surprise that it could take as little of 1 gram of brain to cause BSE by the oral route within the same species. This information did not become available until the "attack rate" experiment had been completed in 1995/96. This was a titration experiment designed to ascertain the infective dose. A range of dosages was used to ensure that the actual result was within both a lower and an upper limit within the study and the designing scientists would not have expected all the dose levels to trigger infection. The dose ranges chosen by the most informed scientists at that time ranged from 1 gram to three times one hundred grams. It is clear that the designing scientists must have also shared Mr Bradleys surprise at the results because all the dose levels right down to 1 gram triggered infection.

Human and animal TSE agents exist as different phenotypes that can be biochemically differentiated on the basis of the molecular mass of the protease-resistant PrPSc fragments and the degree of glycosylation. Epidemiological, molecular, and transmission studies strongly suggest that the single strain of agent responsible for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has infected humans, causing variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The unprecedented biological properties of the BSE agent, which circumvents the so-called "species barrier" between cattle and humans and adapts to different mammalian species, has raised considerable concern for human health. To date, it is unknown whether more than one strain might be responsible for cattle TSE or whether the BSE agent undergoes phenotypic variation after natural transmission. Here we provide evidence of a second cattle TSE. The disorder was pathologically characterized by the presence of PrP-immunopositive amyloid plaques, as opposed to the lack of amyloid deposition in typical BSE cases, and by a different pattern of regional distribution and topology of brain PrPSc accumulation. In addition, Western blot analysis showed a PrPSc type with predominance of the low molecular mass glycoform and a protease-resistant fragment of lower molecular mass than BSE-PrPSc. Strikingly, the molecular signature of this previously undescribed bovine PrPSc was similar to that encountered in a distinct subtype of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C.C. and G.Z. contributed equally to this work. ||To whom correspondence should be addressed.

Tissues for laboratory testing were initially collected from the animal in November 2004, and the carcass was incinerated and did not enter the human food, animal feed or fertilizer supply system. While tests in November indicated the animal did not have BSE, retesting in England in June confirmed the animal had the disease. ...........snip...end Jim Rogers (202) 690-4755 Statement by Dr. John Clifford Regarding Non-Definitive BSE Test Results The sample was submitted to us by a private veterinarian. As an extension of our enhanced surveillance program, accredited private veterinarians, who often visit farms in remote areas, collect samples when warranted. The sample in question today was taken from a cow that was at least 12 years of age and experienced complications during calving. The veterinarian treated the sample with a preservative, which readies it for testing using the immunohistochemistry (IHC) test - an internationally recognized confirmatory test for BSE. Neither the rapid screening test nor the Western blot confirmatory test can be conducted on a sample that has been preserved. ....... snip...end

Indians unable to keep the DareDevils at bay
Deepankar Kaur | cricket20
The Delhi DareDevils completed a comprehensive seven wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to move to the top of the IPL group standings in commanding fashion.
Having dismissed the Indians for a total of just 92, the DareDevils cruised to victory with over five overs to spare thanks to Virender Sehwag (32) and Mahela Jayawardene (17) who secured the visitors their third victory of the tournament.
The entire evening proved to be a total disastrous for the Indians who were blown away on a bouncy wicket which suited the visitors mixture of quickies and spinners.
Shahbaz Nadeem (2-16) lead the way, picking up the wickets of openers Davy Jacobs (0) and Richard Levi (1) inside the opening four overs to leave the home side 5-2.
Harbhajan Singh (33) and Rohit Sharma (29) offered the most resistants but with no other batmans reaching double figure the home side struggled to keep the rampaging DareDevils at bay.

Military Aviation: Key InnovationsPart 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 |The Jet Engine By the end of the Second World War, piston engines could no longer keep up with advances in aircraft design; propellers simply wouldn't function effectively at speeds approaching 500 mph. Enter the jet engine, which ignites a mixture of fuel and compressed air to create explosions that generate thrust. The concept had actually occurred to designers even before the First World War, but Britain's Frank Whittle and Germany's Ernst Heinkel made it a reality. Germany quickly became the front-runner, producing the revolutionary twin-jet Me-262 fighter, which had a maximum speed of over 550 mph, 100 mph faster than the fastest Allied plane. The piston engine had clearly had its day. Supersonic Flight With the jet engine setting a new standard for speed, the next hurdle for warplane designers to overcome was the sound barrier. The problem they faced was that as the aircraft approached the speed of sound, shock waves formed along the airplane's wings and tail, disturbing the airflow and preventing the plane's control surfaces from operating effectively. Airplanes would simply lose control until they slowed down (or broke apart). To overcome this problem, aircraft designers built planes with all-moving tail pieces that presented more surface area to the oncoming airflow. The change allowed the pilots to better retain control as they approached supersonic speeds. In 1947, Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in the experimental, bullet-shaped Bell X-1, which incorporated the all-moving tail. This technology, as well as a coke-bottle shaped fuselage that reduced the severity of shock waves as the plane approached the sound barrier, became standard-issue for modern supersonic warplanes. The Helicopter In addition to powering high-speed fighters, jet engines also made the modern attack helicopter possible. Early helicopters, while useful for carrying out valuable tasks such as evacuating wounded soldiers, used heavy, relatively inefficient piston engines that limited their payloads. With jet engines, designers could build helicopters that would carry guns, rockets and troops into combat. The classic design was the Bell AH-1 Cobra, a wasp-like gunship helicopter that first saw combat in Vietnam and is still in service today. Targeting Systems As fighter aircraft became faster and faster, hitting one using a WWII-type gunsight became practically impossible. The Korean War-era North American F-86 Sabre solved the problem by incorporating a radar gunsight, which used a radar antenna in the Sabre's nose to obtain the range to the target. The latest fighters now incorporate helmet-mounted targeting systems, which use infrared lights to automatically follow the pilot's head movements as he tracks his targets. The Surface-to-Air Missile First designed by Germany during the closing months of the Second World War, surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) came into their own in the following decades. The increasing speed and altitude capabilities of jet attack aircraft meant that antiaircraft guns could no longer effectively defending their airspace. SAMs have been developed in an incredible variety of sizes and packages, from radar-guided, truck-mounted missiles such as the Russian SA-10 "Grumble," to heat-seeking systems like the American Stinger, which can be carried and operated by a single soldier. SAMs took a heavy toll on U.S. aircraft in Vietnam, almost crippled the Israeli Air Force in 1973, and still present one of the greatest threats to the modern warplane.

Get more out of your budget! The #MyFabIsLess Challenge
Some like to focus on long term goals. I enjoy the quick reward of short term goals from time to time.
Which is why I made a simple decision that would save me at least $500 a year. I removed my acrylic nails.
My nail issues go back. Way back. In high school I got a job just so that I could keep my nails up each week. Over the years I've gone back and forth, alternating between doing my own manicures and paying others to. Somehow I got back into the paying others flow in November, just before vacation and have been factoring it into my budget ever since. I have never been able to grow long nails and have always despised my short tips. Vitamins, treatments, nail hardeners.. you name it I've done it in attempt to strengthen my natural nails.
The goal was to eventually begin doing my own acrylic nails but it's something I never got around to and felt that my time could be best spent on things like finishing my masters degree or continuing to bring you great (I hope you think it's great) content.
While $25 bi-weekly seems insignificant, thats $50 per month that could go towards paying off debt. So on March 1st I decided to kick the month off right and removed my nails. I'm kicking my financial goals up a notch by squeezing an unnecessary item out of my budget.
I'd like to introduce to you the #MyFabIsLess challenge. Ask yourself, what can you squeeze out of your budget that will enable you to accomplish you financial goals quicker?
Share your item/habit you are giving up via the comments below or on social media using the #myfabisless tag.
I look forward to hearing what you are giving up. Hopefully it will provide others with ideas on how they can squeeze more out of budget.

chip + circuit recommendation for driving4Wrated speaker/4ohm using bipolar 12v DC
I would like to add a small full-range speakers to my synthesizer, so that I can have some fun with it easily/immediately/even without spending time connecting it to PA or studio monitors. The speaker I would like to use are small Visaton BF 45 (90Hz - 20KHz) 4 ohm 4 watt rated power 8 watt maximum power I assume that some chipamp would be easiest way to do that. The synthesizer has a +12v and -12v power rails inside which i would like to use, so either some chip that can use bipolar power, or if running from a single rail, I would prefer to use the -12v rail, while that rail has the same PSU as +12, but the synth draws much less current on -12v. (if possible) I'm thinking about using either one speaker MONO, or Dual Mono (the synth is mono). Please, could you advice either some chip (+circuit if possible) or transistor circuit that could be used in my situation? thanks !! |

It will work at single 12VDC http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHN...CD00000131.pdf You will have to change cap polarities for use with a negative supply...not sure if I'd do that but it can be done. Or use an old laptop supply and add some power supply filtering and get above 16VDC so you could use a LM1875T/NOPB. http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm1875.pdf

How much current is available from the + and - 12 volt rails?

thanks to everyone. so far, the LM4940 seems to be most close to what I'm looking for? Just mono instead of stereo would be better, but maybe i'll just use two speakers.
johnr66: it's a modular synth, so it depends on how many and what kind of modules I have mounted at the moment, but from the -12v rail most modules use only 1/2 or 2/3 of what they use from the +12v rail. For +12v I would like to keep current draw of this driver under 150mA if possible... if i could find a way how to use the -12v only, i could be much more generous... |

TDA8566 comfortably meets your requirements on a single 12V supply. Its available from Mouser, schematic (very simple) is on my blog (link over to the left on the number of entries).

i'm bit worried about the current draw so i'm also thinking about going class-d. are there some class-d chipamps suitable for DIY? i've found some on texas instruments web, but they all seem to be SMD / impossible (for me) to solder them + unable to use on a protoboard

Your not going to get it done with 150ma, so if you can get 1+ amps off the negative rail, you can run a chip amp at 4 ohms. If you you don't have this much current to spare, you can use an 8 ohm load, however, you will need 500ma or more available.

"Miss California" and "US President Obama"
There is no difference between the actress Prejean in the role of "Miss California may be stripped of her crown" (2) and the actor Steve "X" (3) in the role of "President Obama stripped of his presidency", i.e. before "Miss California" was "elected", Prejean already knew every detail of the act:
- her line in the script as "black sheep", "criticizing" homosexual "marriage";
- her nudity photos surfacing immediately after, part of the "prodigal daughter" role in the illuminati script;
- Fake Decider Donald Trump stepping on stage to complete the act. Trump confirms that "she could have been stripped of her crown". Trump uses the illuminati joke format in a reference to "Obama", for the last "final" words: "these kind of things do NOT happen in America".
"Miss California" vs Usain Bolt
The only similarity between "Miss California may be stripped of her crown" and "Usain Bolt stripped of his world records and his medals" (4) is that both acts are part of the mind control techniques used to prepare the "President Obama stripped of his presidency" act.
That preparation was the reason to stage the Miss California act, i.e. advancing the homosexual agenda and the terror agenda is just added to the act, following the usual illuminati approach of advancing several agendas with the same act.
This is the other way round in the case of Usain Bolt. The main reason is to complete the destruction of natural sports while selling the "BIG PHARMA" hoaxes, with the elimination of the world's greatest athlete ever.
Yet stripping Bolt of his medals could not be staged at a better moment than shortly before detonating the suicide Obomber.
That is why the illuminati tried to physically eliminate (murder or knock-out) Bolt in the car "accident" in Jamaica, since in the script Bolt should have no possibility to make any statements following the "revelation" that the new "tests" of his Beijing samples were positive, which was planned for the day after the "accident". (5)
(1) May 7, 2009: Financial Armageddon: attackers retreat shortly before ** TOTAL DISARRAY **
(2) April 20, 2009 - Miss California Sparks Furor With Gay Marriage Comments on Miss USA Telecast
(3) October 2008: "Obama"', the same actor used in the last Osama Bin Laden tapes, has his first true statement in public: his real name, Steve:
(4) Usain Bolt's car "accident", April 29, 2009
(5) Usain Bolt and Lance Armstrong are the absolute last champions that the brainwashed masses would still expect to hear what do they have to say, after being accused of doping.
But they are also ultimate examples of refusing to accept the Truth, because that Truth is TOO HORRIBLE.
By the way, this article was deleted from online mass media of Jamaica, newspaper Jamaica Star. It was here:
And like for Usain Bolt (who stated to be "humbled" by Clinton's wish to meet him, after the illuminati tried to kill him) and Lance Armstrong (supported McCain, the ultimate loser icon created by the Illuminati), the horrible thing is that even if it was probably the illuminati who deleted it, it was also possible that the moderator was a real Bolt fan.
added June 10: Today Prejean was finally stripped of her crown. Who is the next to be stripped of his crown: Usain Bolt or suicide Obomber, aka 44th POTUS Hussein Obama?
Or is there no time left for the execution of Usain Bolt and detonation of suicide Obomber to launch ethnic civil war, before compulsory "Vaccissassination" of the human cattle?

Highly Rated! |
Note: This work of mathematical fiction is recommended by Alex for math majors, math grad students (and maybe even math professors). |
I think the best description of this book is Naked Lunch
meets The Wild Numbers, with a cameo appearance by
Donald Duck's nephews. Happily, this book has recently been rereleased
(2001) in a new format (without the mathematical subtitle, which I suppose
it is feared might scare away readers.) Like many other Rucker books, I
feel as if the hype on the jacket and foreward are ridiculously over the
top. IMHO, they go too far in praising Rucker and overstate influence of this book...but that doesn't mean I don't like the book. In fact, I think it is
an enjoyable read and a really great example of mathematical fiction.
The plot concerns mathematician Felix Rayman, whose bizarre out of body experiences are nightmarishly related to his research into Cantor's continuum hypothesis. Now, I'm not sure exactly how much this is really autobiographical, but Rucker admit's in the "afterword" that he actually had a position at the university described in the book, and that his own attempt to address the continuum problem led nowhere...except to writing this book which I suppose was the start of his successful writing career. I don't know if someone unfamiliar with the logic of transfinite cardinals would be able to really understand what "Aleph-null" is after reading this book, nor why this infinite number is still too small to describe the how many real numbers there are, but if you already know (or can look it up in a set theory book somewhere) then this psychedelic journey to infinity and back can be a lot of fun.

I always tend to lump Master of the Moon in with Killing the Dragon when it comes to the Dio catalogue. Essentially, it's because they both have very cool cartoony covers drawn in a similiar style. However, it is also because of their status as relatively back to basics heavy metal albums compared to the fully fledged conceptual meisterwerk that was their immediate predecessor Magica. Both dial back to Dio before the relentless post-Dehumanizer heaviness of Strange Highways and Angry Machines, before even the structural complexities of Lock Up The Wolves or the power metal blast of Dream Evil, to a 21st century take on those first three Dio albums with Vivian Campbell.
Despite being armed with Craig Goldy, the sound of Dio here tends much toward the simplistic crump of Campbell-like riffs, and Simon Wright opts for piledriving but again straightforward drumming. The end result is an album that, were it fronted by pretty much any other singer, I would not give a second look (sadly missing out on some cracking guitar solos, mind), and it took a while for me to warm to it even with Dio's asbestos lungs gracing it. What the disciple of Dio gets, after some patience, is an album of fairly typical rock riffs that are raised to glory simply by the effect that the man singing over them can have. The unashamedly basic chugalug of 'Shivers' would be nothing if not for the menacing vocal purr in the verse and the rousing yell of the chorus. 'Twas always the way with Dio; would 'Egypt (The Chains Are On)' even be that good with some other guy singing? Hell no, and nothing has changed.
It is the title track (as it so often is with Dio) where things get really interesting, with crawling doom verses and a triumphant chorus, complemented by restrained guitar flickers from Goldy and Ronnie's impassioned vocals which seem to float regally above the instruments. 'End of the World' and 'The Man Who Would Be King' also present slightly theatrical renderings of traditional doom metal; the guitars are lighter and smoother than Sabbath or Vitus, but the ominous mood is in the background there. 'I Am' again proves that the album's strength is in the most belly-achingly great choruses Dio has come up with in years, coupled with very serviceable vintage leads from Mr Goldy.
Although the focus is on the traditional sounding doom anthems, Master of the Moon opens with a straight-up blazer, 'One More for the Road', which hearkens to 'Stand Up and Shout', 'Night People' and such. Absolutely pumping, with Dio immediately sounding more revitalized and full-throttle than he has in years. 'Living the Lie' and 'Death by Love' also have a catchy, rock'n'roll bounce that breaks up the trudging pace of the rest of the album somewhat.
The lyrics are the usual blend of cynicism and sentimentalism that Dio colours his visions of society with: "Don't get emotional, but we're out of time" is among my favourite lines from the man's discography, and 'The Eyes', with its creepy effects, caught my attention simply for continuing Dio's ongoing lyrical fascination with people's eyes onto the album's most cohesive and successfully gloomy piece of doom metal.
"So, why with the not giving it something in the 90 range? It's quite obvious that anything with Dio singing makes you a happy man Jon." Well, a few of the choruses don't quite match up with the choruses in terms of mood, sometimes seeming to transition a little too quickly (as on the otherwise flawless title track). And let's not forget, the album is the creation of four musicians, notwithstanding that most of the music was written by Goldy and the person whose name is on the cover, instrumentally Jeff Pilson and Simon Wright are a little reticent and leave their more Dio-pedigreed other half to do most of the work.
The album sounds mighty fine, better than most and scores very high in the replay value department, but doesn't have the same effect as say, Holy Diver, Last in Line or of course the Heaven & Hell album that would follow five years later. It's just a great Dio album, second only to Magica out of the band's post-Dehumanizer output. If it does, heaven forbid, turn out to be the last solo album from Dio, it is by all means a respectable one, delivering on pretty much every level for the singer's devotees as it features a Ronnie vocal performance besting all but The Devil You Know in the 21st century.

Hartford Russian River Zinfandel 2008
Zinfandel from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
Our old-vine Russian River Valley Zinfandel offers tremendous balance of fruit and elegant tannins. Fruit bowl aromas of blueberry, loganberry, and black raspberry are complemented by flavors of boysenberry, blackberry, and anise. Mocha and allspice flavors add to the complex and elegant mouth feel.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Densely packed with fruit, but still sleek and focused, with aromas of boysenberry, spice and nutmeg and layered flavors of creamy plum, fresh anise and loamy mineral, finishing with firm but ripe tannins. Best from 2011 through 2015. 371 cases made." -
The Wine Advocate - "The least expensive offering is the 2008 Zinfandel Russian River, a dark ruby/purple-hued effort displaying a big, ripe nose of black raspberries, briery mountain fruit, pepper, spice, and earth with a hint of wood smoke in the background. Full-bodied, fleshy, and rich, this impressive Zinfandel can be drunk over the next 4-5 years. "
Hartford Winery
Hartford Family Winery was founded in 1993 as a result of Don and Jennifer Hartford's appreciation for the wines, the people, and the unique vineyards near their Russian River Valley home. Located in the Sonoma County town of Forestville, the winery is about 15 miles from the cool Pacific Coast. Making delicious wines of high personality is directly related to the difficult locations of the Hartford family's vineyard sources, the limited production of their bottlings and the varietals they use. "Character through adversity" is an expression that the Hartford family believes to apply to both people and grapevines, and they feel that surviving adversity builds character, and personality, in both. The Hartford Family makes wines under two marks, Hartford Court and Hartford. View all Hartford Wines
About Russian River
View a map of Russian River wineriesThe Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable Facts
The proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Red w/Attitude - Miami, FL47/1/2011Related ProductsAlcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
