HOPE is designed to alleviate the cycle of recidivism by reducing the challenges ex-offenders face. The purpose of HOPE is to apply evidence based practices to provide services and supports that empower ex-offenders to identify and initiate a career path, achieve a recognized certificate or degree, and secure and retain employment in their chosen occupations. Through mentoring and peer support groups, participants will build a social network to help them navigate the complex challenges of returning to their communities, including reuniting with family and obtaining stable housing, physical/mental healthcare, substance abuse treatment etc... Project staff will provide wrap around services to help participants overcome barriers to completing training and securing employment.
Public Restitution was initiated in 1983 and maintains a volunteer labor source for nonprofit and government agencies. Probationers are referred to various agencies to complete Court ordered community service hours. The agency representative is responsible for supervision and documentation of hours worked by participants. More than forty agencies in the community are involved with the program. In 1997 a new user fee of $1 per each hour ordered was placed into effect to help cover expenses of operation. As of July 1, 2002 the fee was increased to $2 per hour.

LidocaineStabilizes neuronal membranes by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action.
EpinephrineStimulates both alpha- and beta-receptors within sympathetic nervous system; relaxes smooth muscle of bronchi and iris and is an antagonist of histamine.
Indications and Usage
Production of local or regional anesthesia by infiltration techniques such as percutaneous injection and IV regional anesthesia, by peripheral nerve block techniques such as brachial plexus and intercostals, and by central neural techniques such as lumbar and caudal epidural blocks.
History of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type.
Dosage and Administration
Adults and ChildrenDose determined by number of dermatomes to be anesthetized. The dose of local anesthetic administered varies with the procedure, vascularity of the tissues, depth of anesthesia, degree of required muscle relaxation, duration of anesthesia desired, and the physical condition of the patient. Reduce dosages for children, the elderly, debilitated patients, and patients with cardiac or liver disease. Consult individual prescribing information for dosage recommendations.
General Advice
- For local infiltration only. Not for intravascular administration.
- Multiple concentrations are available. Ensure that the proper concentration is being used.
- Consider administering a test dose prior to epidural anesthesia.
- Do not administer if particulate matter, cloudiness, or discoloration noted.
- To avoid intravascular administration, aspirate injection site before anesthetic solution is injected.
- Do not use anesthetic solutions containing preservatives for epidural or spinal anesthesia.
- Discard any unused solution when using single dose vial or ampule.
Store between 59° and 86°F. Protect from light. Do not use if the injection is pinkish or darker than slightly yellow or if it contains a precipitate.
Drug Interactions
AmiodaroneExcessive cardiac depression and seizures may occur.
Beta-blockersMay cause increased BP and bradycardia. Elevated lidocaine levels with toxicity may occur.
CimetidineDecreased lidocaine Cl.
COMT inhibitors (eg, entacapone)Excessive sympathetic stimulation may result.
Ergot derivatives (ergotamine), vasopressorsMay cause severe persistent hypertension or cerebrovascular accidents.
Linezolid, MAOIs (eg, isocarboxazid), tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline)Severe prolonged hypertension may occur.
MexiletineMay increase lidocaine concentrations.
Phenothiazines (eg, thioridazine), butyrophenones (droperidol)May reduce or reverse the pressor effect of epinephrine.
SuccinylcholineMay prolong neuromuscular blockade.
Laboratory Test Interactions
Lidocaine IM injection may increase creatine phosphokinase levels, which may compromise the diagnosis of acute MI.
Adverse Reactions
Bradycardia; hypotension (3%); CV collapse; cardiac arrest.
Excitation; depression; lightheadedness; nervousness; apprehension; euphoria; confusion; dizziness; drowsiness; sensations of heat, cold, or numbness; twitching; tremors, convulsions, unconsciousness; positional headache (3%); shivering (2%).
Tinnitus; blurred or double vision; permanent injury to extraocular muscles.
Vomiting; loss of bowel control.
Loss of bladder control; loss of sexual function.
Respiratory depression or arrest.
Allergy (eg, cutaneous lesions, urticaria, edema, anaphylactoid reactions); backache (3%).
Category B .
Reduce dose; commensurate with age, body weight, and physical condition.
Special Risk Patients
Use with caution in areas of the body supplied by end arteries or having compromised blood supply, patients with neurological disease, spinal deformities, septicemia, severe shock, heart block, severe hypertension, impaired CV function, peripheral vascular disease, hypertensive vascular disease, hepatic disease, acute illness, and in elderly or debilitated patients.
Intra-articular infusions following surgical procedures
This is an unapproved use; postmarketing reports of chondrolysis have been received.
Peripheral or hypertensive vascular disease
May exhibit exaggerated vasoconstrictor response and ischemic injury or necrosis may result.
Sulfite sensitivity
Use caution in sulfite-sensitive patients; some preparations contain sodium metabisulfite.
Toxic reactions
Resuscitative equipment, oxygen, and other resuscitative drugs should be available for immediate use.
Use in the head and neck area
Small doses of local anesthetics injected into the head and neck area may produce adverse reactions similar to systemic toxicity (eg, confusion, convulsions, respiratory depression, and/or respiratory arrest) seen with unintentional intravascular injections of larger doses.
Use of tourniquet
Solutions containing epinephrine should not be administered when a tourniquet is in place.
Patient Information
- Caution patient that temporary loss of sensation and motor activity may be experienced.
- Instruct patient to inform health care provider if any of the following are experienced during or after the anesthetic injection: restlessness; anxiety; ringing in the ears; dizziness; blurred vision; drowsiness or change in mental status; rapid heart rate, rapid breathing or feeling of shortness of breath; hot or cold sensations.

Critical Essay by Eric Stanley
SOURCE: "Beowulf," in Continuations and Beginnings: Studies in Old English Literature, edited by Eric Gerald Stanley, Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd., 1966, pp. 104-41.
In the essay below, Stanley offers an overview of the poem's style and imagery, and attempts to discern the way in which Anglo-Saxons may have regarded Beowulf.
We have no traditional approach to Beowulf.1 We are entirely ignorant of the author's intentions except for what we may claim to be able to infer from the poem itself. Even the subject and the form of the poem are in doubt; words like epic and elegy are applied to it, epic because it is heroic, early and fairly long, and elegy because it commemorates and mourns men who were honoured in their generations and were the glory of their times. Some have seen the poem...

Guess where I went the first time I got out of the house after giving birth? It was exactly 10 days I was "shut in". Not only was I recovering from giving birth to a nearly 9 lb baby (as one of my friends commented, practically a "bowling ball"), I was tethered to CJ for around the clock feedings. It was just brutal. Then, halfway into the 2nd week, I was healing up pretty well and baby settled down a bit. I was dying to get out of the house.
I asked one of my closer girlfriends to guess where I ventured out, and she replied, "Hmm.. Well.. " thinking outloud, "I don't think you'd go for a facial.. " Oh, man if I wasn't so sleep deprived, I would've definitely hit the spa..
"Umm.. lemme guess.. Was it grocery shopping?!" she asked with some confidence.
"Are you C-R-A-Z-Y?! NO WAY!" I shot back. Hmm.. maybe this isn't one of my closer girlfriend, after all. I would not want to do anything domestic!
After a few more wrong guesses, like going to the gym or going to Target, I revealed my answer.
"THE MALL!" as if it wasn't obvious. Come on!
Now, let me make clear. I did not go to the mall to shop. 'Cuz after all, pssst... I'm still wearing maternity clothes. My post-natal body was not exactly giving me inspiration to go try out the latest spring fashions.
I was just wanting to be in the mall for the hustle and bustle. Ahh.. Serenity now... You know that calm buzz that fills you when you're in the mall? .. It's the kinda peaceful trance that hails back to when I'd hit the mall as a teenager. Even if I could only buy a pair of earrings that cost a few bucks, I loved kicking it back with an Orange Julius at the food court with a gal pal.
Except, fast forward, now I'm in my 30's, kickin' it with my sweetheart, Hubby. And it's no longer an orange drink I'm sippin'.
Nope, it's a delicious decaf mocha with my favorite chocolate brioche. And for my main squeeze, he stuck with a buttery, palmier (which was delicious, btw!). Eventhough we took CJ with us, he was the dreambaby 2nd week newborn - snoring away for hours while we giggled and laughed at how lucky we had it with our good sleeper.
Oh, pastries, coffee.. and the mall. Life couldn't be better!
If only we knew life would take a turn for sleeplessness in a couple of weeks... Ah! Igorance is bliss!

Snowboard bottom for longboard
Right now i'm making a very nice longboard out of a snowboard. i would like to put some wood and fiberglass against the coating underneath the snowboard. But the wax is a hard material to combine with others.. Does anyone has experience with the wax layer of the snowboard to glue/polyester/epoxy maybe it to get a solid attachment with the wood/fiberglass? I can post a foto later of the result. Looks already awsome Thanks for your help Gr |

The only glue that I can think of would be contact cement. It goes on as a liquid then dry's, so it should stick to both pieces.
What about using your trucks to connect everything? Can't you drill right through both pieces, then sandwich the two pieces & the trucks together with nuts & bolts? Or maybe use T-nuts? TT

Thanks for the ideas,
I'll do some research about the 'contact cement' your talking about, don't know that kind of glue. I think every glue goes on as a semi liquid and drys after The trucks won't work i think, i prefer to make a solid connection for the hole lenght, more sustainable and stronger. Nobody did allready a snowboard rebuild with some new bottom layers? Gr |

It doesn't work like other glues though, when you apply Contact Cement you apply it to both pieces you intend to join. It's runny like water, & you use a very thin coat, as little as possible. Just make sure you get it everywhere. **IMPORTANT** You have to let the glue dry completely, before you stick them together. It drys really fast though, like 2 min or less fast. If you try to stick them together when they are still wet, it won't do shit. If you don't think it will work, go try & peel your counter top off the shitty particle board that it is stuck too. Trust me it will work. I made one kinda similar? I used a piece of 1/8 thick aluminum & attached it to a piece of wood with T-nuts. There are some pics of it here, http://www.snowboardingforum.com/off...tml#post505344 In this pic http://www.snowboardingforum.com/att...-snowboard.jpg, the 5 little square patches of grip tape in between my feet have T-nuts counter sunk flush with the wood. The little pieces of grip tape are just to hide the ugliness. In this pic you can see that the screws are Robertson flat head machine screws, Machine Screws - Flat Head, Oval Head, PAN head, Truss Head, Fillister Head, Binding Head and Combination Head-Peaksight Fastener, the hole has been countersunk as well so the bottom is nice & smooth they won't catch on anything. Which was really important because of how low this thing was. You can see all the paint has been scratched off, if they weren't flush I'd be dead by now. In this pic it has the aluminum on top with a piece of hard rubber as a spacer in the middle then the trucks on the bottom. http://www.snowboardingforum.com/att...front-drop.jpg Just substitute my ingredients with your ingredients, put the snowboard on top, sandwich the wood in the middle, trucks on the bottom. It worked fine for me. I made it out of my old t.v. entertainment center. I've been 100km/h on my old t.v. stand. TT

NEW YORK, N.Y., OCTOBER 29, 2008 — As one of the industry's highest rated insurers for financial strength, we do not require any additional capital and we did not approach the government to obtain any capital for New York Life.
The Treasury has asked the life insurance industry for help in developing solutions for strengthening the financial system. We agreed to work with other industry leaders and Treasury so we could play a constructive role in helping shape this important discussion. We want to make certain that our unique perspective as a mutual company is heard. In fact, we have not determined if it would be in our policyholders' best interest to accept capital. We would not participate in any program that conflicted with our enduring commitment to mutuality.

Turn XP Home into XP Pro
Don't now why this thread with this question was closed:
Many features of XP Pro can be added to XP Home. For free, and 100% legal. From http://xpsux.moo.no : Domains: Join domain with XP Home While it can't be a domain client and XP Home doesn't support group policies or other 'advanced' domain features, you can connect to domain resources such as shared folders. - Get X-Setup, go to Network/AutoLogin/Windows/Settings and enter your login, domain, and password. - Or use TweakUI: go to Logon/Autologon and enter login, domain, and password. - To do it by hand, check http://www.mdgx.com/2k1.htm#BAIW When done, proceed to 'map network drives' below. Warning: your password is stored in the registry unencrypted. Domains: Map network drives with XP Home 1) When logged onto a domain (see 'join domain' above), right-click My Computer, go to Properties -> Computer Name. It will look like: Full computer name: \\user-server.domain.name.com Domain: domain.name.com 2) Open My Computer icon and select 'Map Network Drive...' from the Tools enu 3) Select a drive letter (Z:, X:, etc). 4) In the folder box type two backslashes (\\) and then the Fully Qualified Domain Name from step 1, then a backslash (\) and the folder you want to connect to. Example: \\user-server.domain.name.com\myfolder 5) Click "Connect using a different user name." in drive/folder settings and enter a domain username that has access rights to the folder you want to access. Add it in the format username@domain. Example: email@example.com. Enter the password for the myname account. This is not necessarily the same password you used for logging onto the domain (but if you want to access your own folders it usually is). 6) Check the 'Reconnect at logon' box so you won't have to enter the user credentials every time you log on. You can only connect with one single username/password combo at a time with XP Home. If you need access to two folders with different username/password combos, you have to disconnect the shared folder before connecting to the other. Security tab in XP Home (like in XP Pro) 1) Download the x86 (Intel) version of the Security Configuration Manager (SCESP4I.EXE) from http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nt...cm/default.asp 2) Double click SCESP4I.EXE and extract the contents to a temporary folder 3) Make a system restore point or other type of backup. This program does not come with an uninstaller 4) Right-click Setup.inf and select Install 5) Reboot User accounts and passwords: Better management tool The user accounts/passwords control panel in XP Home is crippled. For more options: start/run control userpasswords2 - Change the name and password for the adminstrator account in XP Home without having to boot into safe mode. - Set an account for autologin. - Create different user types in XP Home (not just 'administrator' or 'limited') - To add userpasswords2 to your control panel, use this reg file: Quote:
A lot of features from the Group Policy Editor are in http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm Instead of the IIS web server from XP Pro, you can use Apache. There are many free encryption tools out there that do a better job than the EFS from XP Pro: http://www.thefreecountry.com/security/encryption.shtml There's also a (very easy) method to turn the XP Home installation files into a lite version of XP Pro (took me less than ten seconds to find it on Google). If you already agreed to XPs EULA, such breach of contract may violate the local laws of your country, and posting a how-to-guide would be against the forum rules.

Re: Turn XP Home into XP Pro
The inference was that bboyd wanted to know how to illegally hack XP Home to make it XP Pro. If the question had been asked in the correct way then an answer like yours would have been acceptable. The following was the clincher in deciding that bboyd was wanting illegal methods to accomplish this.
Yes I acknowledge up front that it would be easier to just purchase Pro but I'm cheap. Even if bboyd's question was not meant to mean anything illegal, it was ambigious therefore the inference that was drawn that it was. This board is and shall remain squeeky clean and anything that even hints of illegality shall be immediately dealt with. Thank you for your information, but I believe this topic is now closed.

WednesdayFeb 6 2013SmartPitch: Creating an Effective Investor Pitch
To close funding from investors, you first must accomplish some key milestones. When it's time to pitch investors, you must convey the investment opportunity and what you've accomplished in a compelling way that motivates the investor to want to learn more.
In this OTBC/OEN workshop you'll learn what headway investors expect that you've already made, and what topics they want to learn about in a pitch. And you'll learn about effective pitch techniques, and effective pitch tactics. In the interactive portion of the workshop, you'll develop and delivery the front-end of an investor pitch - one of the hardest pieces: a description of the problem or unmet need, and a description of your solution both of which are concise, compelling and motivating.
WednesdayMay 15 2013OEN Workshop in Hillsboro: Tax Issues for Startups
Does the word "taxes" have you reacting with a blank, questionable stare?
When making a list of priorities, startups tend to list taxes right above, "getting a plant service for the office." As with most startups, there may be a significant period of time before the business becomes profitable. However, there are business decisions you make today that can greatly affect your income tax situation in the future. These decisions include what type of entity your company wants to be, where your company wants to be located or even how your company obtains sales. Also, there are other types of taxes besides income, e. g. sales, payroll and B & O, that can distract you from the beginning. Andrew Meyers will help get you through the startup "tax maze" so that you can more effectively focus on growing your startup and be well positioned for long-term success.
Speaker: Andrew Meyers Andrew joined the Perkins & Co tax department in 2005 and is a member of our high-tech/emerging growth and real estate practice groups.
Andrew has diversified experience managing tax engagements in a wide variety of companies in several industries, including distributors, manufacturing, technology and real estate. His experience includes working with all types of entity structures; however, much of his time is spent assisting our corporate clients engaged in the manufacturing of technology related products who file in multiple jurisdictions. This gives him a wide range of knowledge in areas related to state/local nexus and filing requirements, revenue recognition issues and research & development credits, as well as other challenges businesses confront in this industry.
Prior to joining us, Andrew spent a year and a half as an auditor at a mid-size local firm in Portland where he served manufacturing, technology and privately held businesses.
Andrew holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting as well as Economics from Portland State University. He is a licensed CPA and a member of the AICPA and OSCPA. He is also a member of YPOP, a networking organization for young professionals in the Portland metro area.

WednesdayJul 17 2013OEN Workshop in Hillsboro: Lean Startup - The One Page Business Model
A startup is an organization that is searching for a business model that works. It's critical to understand that a startup's business model is a set of assumptions - and those assumptions need to be tested, earlier rather than later! And earlier means before you develop the product or service! (But even if you've already started developing the product is still the right time to validate the business model!)
A 1 page business model canvas is an excellent way to capture the assumptions underlying your business model, so you can methodically test those assumptions. In this workshop, you'll learn about the lean startup approach, and be introduced to the 1 Page Lean Business Model Canvas, and discuss how you can use the canvas to test each assumption in the model. Then you'll work through a "hands on" exercise where you complete and present to the group a portion of your 1 page lean canvas. All participants will receive printed copies of the Lean Canvas to use, and will also be provided with a PowerPoint version of the canvas so they can continue to create canvases on a computer.
Who should attend: Anyone who is starting a business and has not yet developed and tested the business model for that business. This material and process is relevant for any startup - not just tech startups.
Presenter: Steve Morris Steve Morris is the Executive Director of OTBC and the Managing Director of OregonStartups.com. He is a veteran of three start-ups, and has more than 25 years of management experience in the software, service, and semiconductor test industries at companies such as Hewlett Packard, Integrated Measurement Systems, Cadence Design Systems, Mentor Graphics, Credence Corporation and Teseda Corporation. He holds a B.A. in mathematics from Reed College and a Masters of Science degree from Carnegie-Mellon University Graduate School of Industrial Administration (now The Tepper School of Business).

Metabolic Profiles Essential For Personalizing Cancer Therapy
One way to tackle a tumor is to take aim at the metabolic reactions that fuel their growth. But a report in the February Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press Publication, shows that one metabolism-targeted cancer therapy will not fit all. That means that metabolic profiling will be essential for defining each cancer and choosing the best treatment accordingly, the researchers say.
The evidence comes from studies in mice showing that tumors' metabolic profiles vary based on the genes underlying a particular cancer and on the tissue of origin.
"Cancer research is dominated now by genomics and the hope that genetic fingerprints will allow us to guide therapy," said J. Michael Bishop of the University of California, San Francisco. "The issue is whether that is sufficient. We argue that it isn't because metabolic changes are complex and hard to predict. You may need to have the metabolome as well as the genome."
Just as a cancer genome refers to the complete set of genes, the metabolome refers to the complete set of metabolites in a given tumor.
The altered metabolism of tumors has been considered a target for anticancer therapy. For instance, tumors and cancer cell lines consume more glucose than normal cells do, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. There has often been the impression that such changes in metabolism are characteristic of cancers in general, but cancer is a genetically heterogeneous disease. The team led by Bishop and Mariia Yuneva wondered how metabolism might vary with the underlying genetic causes of cancer.
They found in mice that liver cancers driven by different cancer-causing genes (Myc versus Met) show differences in the metabolism of two major nutrients: glucose and glutamine. What's more, the metabolism of Myc-induced lung tumors is different from Myc-induced liver tumors.
"Our work shows that different tumors can have very different metabolisms," Yuneva said. "You can't generalize."
Bishop and Yuneva say their findings also highlight glutamine metabolism as a potential new target for therapy in some tumors, noting that the focus has been primarily on glucose metabolism. Interestingly, the data shows that a version of a glutaminase enzyme normally found in kidney cells turns up in cancerous liver cells. That means there might be a way to attack the metabolism of the cancer without damaging normal liver tissue.
"We shouldn't lose sight of the rather immediate therapeutic potential," Bishop said.
The researchers will continue to inventory metabolic variation in mouse models. Ultimately, they say it will be important to catalogue the metabolic variation in the much more complex, human setting.

Waiting For The Right Price For Cattle
Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KSVT-TV ) High prices for cattle and lower numbers in herds are causing cattlemen across the west to make a difficult decision.
In this week's segment of Grow Southern Idaho, we take a look at this problem facing many ranchers in our area. With prices for feeder calves topping 180 dollars per hundred weight, and with the U.S. cow herd estimated at 29 million, the lowest in over 60 years, ranchers everywhere are facing the tough choice of retaining heifers to build their herd… or selling them to take advantage of the high prices. Keeping back heifers holds the promise of big returns in three to five years, providing prices hold up. From calves to feeder cattle and bred cows, all three have continued to increase in overall price, with some experts expecting the price to increase even more over the next few years. So for the ranchers here in southern Idaho, it comes down to the waiting game. |

Saying Sangaz here
Which is why you posted this rant. Because you don't have the self control or intelligence to realize you're just causing drama. You're the type of person that prevents any type of discussion from happening.
I must say, your judgment is seriously lacking if you openly taunt an admin that doesn't like you to begin with.
I find it unnecessary to mock his intelligence!... Despite being somewhat wrong in continuing the argument, I feel like DJUCE@ was just taking defense when countered by an Admin harshly.
And the admin only responded harshly after he was accused of abusing his power for votes. It's illogical to not expect someone to be offended when you accuse them of corruption.
I do agree that it sounded disrespective.
I'll vote for the first one that provides me with a good amount of black-amputee-toilet seat-blowjob-porn.
Because I know you're a *channer trying to bring *chan crap into the forum with stupid requests like that.

Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney is back and his $200 million+ fortune are back in the news today, this time amid reports that the candidate plans to add a "car elevator" to his beachfront mansion in La Jolla, Calif.
Politico's Reid Epstein reports that the elevator is included in plans for renovating the Romneys' $12 million beach house. All told, the remodel will quadruple the size of the 3,000-square-foot Spanish mansion.
According to Epstein, who obtained 2008 schematic plans filed with the city of San Diego, the massive renovation includes:
Epstein reports that the Romneys have also obtained a personal lobbyist, San Diego attorney Matthew A. Peterson, to push the renovation plans through the city's approval process. San Diego officials told Politico that it is not unusual for homeowners to hire lobbyists for big projects.
Romney has said that the family will not begin the remodel until after the 2012 election, but the permitting and approval process can take several years, particularly for homes along the Pacific Coast. In the meantime, the Romneys are making do with the smaller beach house.

Running Time: 89 Min.
Director: Lee Roy Myers
Company: Hustler Video
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Interviews, Outtakes, Still Gallery(ies)
Anthony Rosano, Lexi Belle, Evan Stone, Rocco Reed, Asa Akira, Heather Starlet
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Interactive, Parody - Comedy
A new way to watch adult movies has finally arrived. Introducing "Sailor Poon – A XXX Interactive Parody"; a live action and interactive spoof of one of the most popular cartoon series on earth! And when you are done, you can start again, or pick another girl with so many choice combinations. You can enjoy these hot sailor sluts any way that you want, including a feature parody version, where you can watch the entire sexy movie without having to make any choices. Get ready for the hottest porn characters in ways that you have never experienced before!
This fun parody of the well-loved children's anime series is damn cute, and there's a lot to play with in this two-disc set. Sailor Moon's sexual energy is sought after by the forces of evil, and in the very well-produced interactive disc, the viewer gets to choose how they would like to fuck either Female Performer of the Year Asa Akira, Lexi Belle or Heather Starlet. The menu is easy to maneuver and will take the viewer right to the type of action they desire from each performer.
The barely legal school girl scouts—played by porn stars wearing cute cosplay outfits—need to save the world, and the evil general—played by a smirking Tommy Pistol pretending to be Asian—enters their dreams to try to thwart them. From there, it's all the girls stripping and having vag sex and occasionally shooting fire balls out of their hands.
Lexi Belle does an OK job in the title role—wish she had been given more to do as Sailor Moon—but she takes a cock like a dream. Akira gets fucked well with a blue liquid-filled glass dong before getting cock in her vag while sticking a finger in her asshole. Heather Starlet's creamy skin is s sight to behold as she strips for her vag pounding.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The state chemist's office has approved a new insecticide for use against the tree-killing emerald ash borer.
The insecticide is called Tree-age. It's essentially a poison that kills the insect when its grub-like larvae feed on trees that have been treated with the chemical.
Purdue University entomologist Cliff Sadof says the insecticide is "very promising" based on tests conducted in Michigan. Purdue
scientists are now conducting field tests in Indiana to gauge its effectiveness.
In the Michigan tests, the insecticide killed more than 99% of ash borer larvae in treated trees and 100% of the metallic-green adult beetles that ate the tree's leaves. Tree-age is expected to be available in Indiana by early May.

The 63rd annual Addison County Fair and Field Days was last week, and the Addison Independent reporters were there with video cameras to record the action. We compiled a quick highlight reel of the fair, interspersed with fairgoers' favorite parts of the yearly Addison County tradition! Whether it was the food, the farm equipment or the family atmosphere, there was something at Field Days for everyone. What was your favorite part? Let us know in the comments!
I stopped growing corn a few years back … for good reason. It takes up precious garden real estate and inevitably gets snatched by some clever critter or other the night before I plan to pick it.
During last week's 63rd annual Addison County Fair and Field Days, the #1 Auto Parts Demolition Derby was once again among the most popular events. Over the course of two nights, fans gathered to watch old junker cars — decorated with spray paint and driven with pride — continuously smash into each other until just one vehicle was still running. The event featured separate competitions for 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines, as well as a minivan round and a pick-up truck round. Here, sports reporter Andy Kirkaldy gives a rundown of the popular event.
Editor's note: This week's writers are Kate Corrigan and Sebastian Miska, who started farming together in Ripton in 2006 and operate North Branch Farm & Gardens. Corrigan grew up in Shoreham, where her family raised their own eggs, pork and poultry; and Miska grew up in the Middlebury area and enjoyed frequent visits to family in Germany, where he developed an appreciation for pork charcuterie.
Tomato season is finally here. The red (yellow, orange, if not mottled green), juicy, oozing with vitamin C, sweet but slightly acid pungent fruit is in season. And it is a fruit, not a vegetable. We just call it a vegetable.
The 2011 Vermont Cheesemakers' Festival drew crowds of people to Shelburne Farms last Sunday, July 24. We were there to check in with the many Addison County producers, and (of course!) to enjoy the food.
Many thanks to Nate Gusakov of Lincoln, Vt. for providing the music. The song is "Bellingham" from his upcoming album, "Running Clear."
Yesterday the wind blew hot and surly across the tall field grasses. Today the high dog days of midsummer have pooled around my feet. It is still but for the drone of heat-loving insects and the intermittent warning of a robin, the hissing of a house wren, the drink-your-tea-tea-tea call of the Eastern towhee.
Three Middlebury Union High School graduates returned to town to play with their band, Chamberlin, at Middlebury's Festival on-the-Green on July 11.
No, he is not an albino woodchuck. He just keeps resurfacing. At the moment, he looms larger than life in my tiny garden. I analyze the damage in the morning, raise my fist, and mutter epithets toward the sky — though he's a groundhog. There's no question I'd like to shoot him, but I can't. We live in town.
Editor's note: Guest writer Abi Sessions of Cornwall has co-raised three strapping children on the products of her vegetable garden and has taught in local schools for 37 years.

Former Wichitan's career on 'upswing'
Apparently, I'm on the Wichitans-on-the-verge-of-stardom beat this summer. Last week, I brought you news of XV, a local hip-hop artist who just signed a record deal with Warner Brothers.
This week, I have news of a former Wichitan and Southeast High grad who's making moms of kindergartners blubber (and moms of YouTube fans blush).
Chris Mann, 28, who now lives in Los Angeles, is making a name for himself on the music scene.
At the moment, his voice and original song "Goodbye Lullabye" are the soundtrack for an emotional OfficeMax commercial that's been airing for about a week. As Mann sings, adorable back-to-schoolers are boarding buses as their moms wistfully wave. One mom chases down the school bus to deliver the lunch her son forgot.
The commercial instantly created buzz for Mann as viewers took to the Internet trying to find the story behind the song and singer. (Many thought the voice was Adam Lambert's.)
"I was just excited that people cared to find out who I was," Mann said during a phone interview, which he crammed in before a sound check for his solo show at New York City's Rockwood Music Hall.
But Mann was building buzz before back to school even hit.
He's about to release his first album, which will be available through iTunes and Amazon. And a self-made video for a cover of George Michael's 1980s hit "I Want Your Sex" has gone viral, becoming a YouTube favorite. The video stars Mann (a Bradley Cooper look-alike) and his actress girlfriend, and sometime this month E! will feature it on its "Daily 10" show.
Mann also has had a lot of professional singing work since he moved to Los Angeles. His voice is featured in the chorus on all the "Glee" soundtracks and on the "Sex and the City 2" and "Avatar" soundtracks. He also performs a duet of an Italian love song in the recent movie "Letters to Juliet."
He's toured with singer India.Arie (there are videos of him all over the Internet singing with her at the shows) and he's opened concerts for Broadway and "Glee" star Idina Menzel.
Mann grew up in Wichita and graduated from Southeast High in 2000.
When he was 15, he started taking vocal lessons at Wichita State University, and while in high school, he worked in two Music Theatre of Wichita companies, including the 2000 season, which featured "Singin' in the Rain" and "Evita."
Music was just a hobby until he went to Vanderbilt University in Nashville and decided to major in opera.
After graduating, he performed in operas in Italy for a while before deciding that he'd chosen the wrong musical path.
He moved back to New York, and eventually to L.A., where he signed a deal to make a record that was never released, he says, because of staffing changes at Sony Music.
After that, he decided to record his own album and has been working steadily on it — and on lining up all kinds of commercial music work.
His parents, Mike and Patti Mann, as well as his sister, Becky Mann, live in Wichita.
Patti is the one who drew my attention to her son's accomplishments, sending me a link to his steamy "I Want Your Sex" video. (You need to watch it, preferably without your mom in the room.)
Mann says he's still in touch with many of his Wichita friends, who are following his career from afar.
They keep him humble, he said.
"They give me a hard time," he said with a laugh. "They know it's just me, so they don't drink the Kool-Aid."
Mann's new album, titled "Pieces," should be out by the end of the month. It's a pop album with romantic, easily digestible music that's loved by young girls and their moms alike, he said.
He promises to return to Wichita soon to allow us a chance to blubber, blush and swoon locally.
"I'm back on the upswing again after being up there and really getting knocked down quite violently," he said. "It feels really good."

In 1943, Gibson became head of Supreme Life Insurance, which had $53.8 million in industrial insurance policies in force. Gibson ushered in a solid seven years of growth and financial stability. Gibsons sales force used a mass production technique to sell industrial insurance in the African-American communities it served. This sales technique was successful, but expensive, and in 1953, Gibson instituted a number of changes designed to improve the flow of information and centralize company control.

Lines of stripped oxygen Ovi and of Ov.—The oxygen atom holds its last electrons so tenaciously that hitherto no lines assignable to stripped oxygen have been obtained. Using aluminum electrodes and high resolution, the "lithium doublet" of stripped oxygen has been definitely located at 1031.98, 1037.69A (see Plate I) the component of shorter wave-length being, as usual with this doublet, the more intense. The use of pure Al electrodes has also enabled the pp′ group of Ov to be obtained in the fourth order, definitely resolved as a sextuplet (see Plate II) the ratio p1p2/p2p3 coming out 2.27, reasonably close to the value 2 called for by Lande's interval rule. New aluminum lines between 1250 and 500A.—Fifteen new faint lines have been discovered and all definitely placed in their proper series, belonging to Aliii and Alii. Ionization potentials of stripped atoms.—Extrapolation from the known values for stripped atoms in the first and second rows of the periodic table, gives values for the 2s term which correspond to the following ionization potentials: for Nv 97.39; for Ovi 137.35; for Fvii 184.07; and for Clvii 113.73 volts. These are probably accurate to within 0.2 volt.

The following account of the strange nature and the pernicious activity of the Green and the Blue Factions, derived, it would appear, from the four parties of the Roman Circus, is taken from Bury's edition of Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, IV.220 ff.
"Constantinople adopted the follies, though not the virtues, of ancient Rome; and the same factions which had agitated the circus, raged with redoubled fury in the hippodrome. Under the reign of Anastasius, this popular frenzy was inflamed by religious zeal; and the Greens, who had treacherously concealed stones and daggers under baskets of fruit, massacred, at a solemn festival, three thousand of their Blue adversaries. From the capital this pestilence was diffused into the provinces and cities of the East, and the sportive distinction of the two colours produced two strong and irreconcilable factions which shook the foundations of a feeble government. The popular dissensions, founded on the most serious interest, or holy pretence, have scarcely equalled the obstinacy of this wanton discord, which invaded the peace of families, divided friends and brothers, and tempted the female sex, though seldom seen in the circus, to espouse the inclinations of their lovers or to contradict the wishes of their husbands. Every law, either human p362or divine, was trampled under foot, and as long as the party was successful, its deluded followers appeared careless of private distress or public calamity. The licence, without the freedom of democracy, was revived at Antioch and Constantinople, and the support of a faction became necessary to every candidate for civil or ecclesiastical honours. A secret attachment to the family or sect of Anastasius was imputed to the Greens; the Blues were zealously devoted to the cause of orthodoxy and Justinian, and their grateful patron protected, above five years, the disorders of a faction whose seasonable tumults overawed the Palace, the Senate, and the capitals of the East."

Multiple-wavelength-scanning-based phase unwrapping method for digital holographic microscopy |
Applied Optics, Vol. 53, Issue 5, pp. 979-987 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1606 KB)
A phase unwrapping approach based on multiple-wavelength scanning is presented for digital holographic microscopy. It unwrapped the ambiguous phase image layer by layer by synthesizing the extracted continuous components from a set of multiple phase images obtained by varying the optical wavelength, where the discontinuities occur at different places and the phase speckle noise presents various distributions in state. The total time for data acquisition is approximately 22 min for 10 wavelengths. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has a more accurate calculation and better counteraction of phase noise compared with those of previously reported approaches. In addition, the wrapped phase image of the object containing the steps has also been unwrapped successfully.

Jesus Alone
"Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God" (Heb. 12:2).
- Hebrews 12:2For the past year, we have been privileged to spend concentrated time in the epistle to the Hebrews. Our journey has been long, and we pray that God has used this study of His Word to strengthen our faith for the journey ahead. The magnificent themes and difficult issues grappled with will serve us well as we work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12).
This study has attempted to emphasize the original context of Hebrews so that our modern application will be based on the author's original intent. A broad look at the epistle informed us that while we may not be sure of the exact circumstances surrounding the original audience of this letter, we do know that this audience was well-versed in the Old Testament and was thinking of leaving Christ and returning to the old covenant system because of heavy persecution.
Seeking to avert this, the pastoral heart of the author shines throughout his letter. He began by arguing for the superiority of Jesus over the angels and Moses, who were key figures in the old covenant and its revelation (1:1–3:6). In light of the superiority and finality of Christ, were this audience to leave Him, they would never be able to find God's rest. Rather, they would be like the faithless first generation of Israel who grumbled in the wilderness and were therefore cut off from the Promised Land (3:7–4:13). This is not to say that the author believed that God's elect are not secure in their salvation. After all, Jesus is the perfect and eternal High Priest, appointed by God to save His people through the sacrifice of Himself and through making continual intercession for all covenant members with true faith (4:14–10:18). This Jesus, who saves all of God's people both in the new covenant and in the old, is the one for whom the old covenant saints waited and to whom we must draw near in order to persevere in our faith (10:19–12:2). This Jesus ever moves to ensure our faithfulness by disciplining us and by working through our worship and sanctification to keep us pressing toward the goal (12:3–13:25).
Though we demonstrate our election through our obedience to Jesus, He alone has done all the work necessary to secure our eternal redemption. If we trust in Him truly, if we look to Him truly and to Him alone, we will persevere. So look to Jesus, and finish the race!
Coram Deo
Take some time today to read through the book of Hebrews, and consider the many themes we have covered: the superiority of Christ, the call to persevere, the relationship between the old covenant and the new. Above all, let the exhortations in this book move you to draw ever closer to Jesus so that you will finish the race set before you.
