Marathon Battery Co.
Site Description
The 70acre Marathon Battery Co. site includes a former nickel cadmium battery plant and 11 surrounding acres, the Hudson River in the vicinity of the Cold Spring pier, and a series of river backwater areas known as Foundry Cove and Constitution Marsh. The battery facility operated from 1952 to 1979, producing military and commercial batteries. During this time, the plant changed ownership several times, finally operating as the Marathon Battery Co. from 1969 to 1979. Before 1965, the plant's wastewater treatment system discharged into the Hudson River at the Cold Spring pier through the use of the municipal sewer system, except during periods of overload or system shutdowns, when the wastewater was discharged directly into East Foundry Cove. In 1965, the New York State Department of Health concluded that a new sewage treatment plant being designed for Cold Spring could not handle the battery plant's industrial discharge. The battery plant operators, therefore, began channeling the wastewater discharge into East Foundry Cove. Although the potentially responsible parties (PRPs) dredged parts of Foundry Cove and surrounding areas in 1972 and 1973, studies of the sediments and the wetlands still revealed high levels of cadmium and nickel in the late 1970s. EPA divided the site into three geographical sub-sites to speed cleanup activities: East Foundry Cove Marsh and Constitution Marsh (Area I); the plant grounds, the former battery plant, a clay and asphalt lined underground vault on the plant grounds containing the dredged cadmium-contaminated sediment from Foundry Cove, and nearby residential yards (Area II); and East and West Foundry Coves and the portion of the Hudson River near the Cold Spring pier (Area III). In 1980, the battery plant was sold to Merchandise Dynamics for use as a warehouse to store books. Two million books remained in the warehouse when all business activities at the facility ceased in 1986. The surrounding area is residential and includes a historic district. Approximately 400 people live within a mile of the site. A school, a mobile home park, and a number of residences are served by ground water within a 3mile radius of the site. Local surface water is used for both recreation and commercial fishing.
Site Responsibility:
This site was addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
Proposed Date: 10/01/81
Final Date: 09/01/83
Deletion Date: 10/18/96
Threats and Contaminants
The State found high levels of heavy metals, including cadmium, zinc, nickel, and cobalt, both inside and outside the plant facility. High concentrations of trichloroethylene (TCE) were detected in the ground water underlying the site. A state supervised sampling program conducted in 1984 and 1985 revealed widespread heavy metal contamination of the sediments and marsh soils of Foundry Cove. The highest levels were found in East Foundry Cove Marsh at the outfall from which the battery facility's process wastes were discharged. Cadmium was found in soil on the plant grounds, in neighboring backyards, and in dust in the former battery facility. High levels of cadmium were present in Foundry Cove sediments, and cadmium was accumulating in the biota, threatening the marsh that supports several surface and underwater plant species and the surrounding wildlife. Tidal action was slowly flushing the cadmium deposits from the wetlands into the Hudson River. An endangered species, the short nose sturgeon, migrates up and down the Hudson River and enters East Foundry Cove to feed. Since this fish feeds on insect larvae on the cove bottom, it was likely to eat contaminated sediments. Public health could have been adversely affected by eating fish and/or wildlife caught in contaminated waters. The threat associated with inhaling or ingesting contaminated soils or dusts, or eating foods grown in contaminated soil has been eliminated through the remedial actions taken at the site.
Cleanup Approach
This site was addressed in four stages: immediate actions and three longterm remedial phases focusing on the cleanup of each of the three sub-site areas.
Response Action Status
Immediate Actions: In 1989, the PRPs placed fencing and screens over the former battery plant's entrances and windows to limit access.
Area I Cleanup: In 1986, following the completion of a remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) to determine the nature and extent of the contamination at and emanating from the Area I portion of the site and to evaluate remedial alternatives, a Record of Decision (ROD) was signed, selecting a remedy for cleaning up East Foundry Cove Marsh and Constitution Marsh, featuring: (1) dredging highly contaminated sediments from East Foundry Cove Marsh; (2) chemically binding the sediment and properly disposing of the watery component; (3) disposing of the treated sediments off-site; (4) restoring the marsh by adding clean fill and clay and replanting; and (5) diverting storm sewers. Longterm sediment and water monitoring in East Foundry Cove Marsh and Constitution Marsh and a public awareness program will be undertaken. EPA completed the engineering design for Area I in early 1992. The remediation of Area I was completed in the summer of 1995.
Area II Cleanup: In 1988, following the completion of an RI/FS for the Area II portion of the site, a ROD was signed, featuring: (1) decontaminating the inside surfaces and contents of the former battery facility to remove dust containing heavy metals; (2) excavating the cadmium contaminated soil on the plant grounds and neighboring yards; (3) excavating the onsite vault containing dredge spoils from the 1973 dredging; (4) chemically binding, as needed, the excavated soil, dust, and vault sediments and disposing of them at an EPA approved facility off-site; and (5) backfilling the excavated areas with clean fill. The decontamination of the interior of the warehouse, including the books, was completed in the fall of 1992. The books were taken off-site and recycled. The remediation of the residential yards was completed in 1993. The remediation of the plant grounds portion of Area II was completed in the summer of 1995 and included the demolition of the former battery facility.
Area III Cleanup: In 1989, following the completion of an RI/FS for the Area III portion of the site, a ROD was signed, featuring dredging 1 foot of sediments from East Foundry Cove and the Cold Spring pier area, chemically binding them, and removing them from the site for disposal, and long-term monitoring of West Foundry Cove. The remediation of Area III was completed in the summer of 1995.
Site Facts: EPA entered into an agreement with the PRPs in 1972 to perform dredging operations and disposal of contaminated sediment into an on-site vault.
In 1989, the PRPs were issued an Administrative Order to decontaminate the interior of the building, including the stored books.
In January 1992, a Consent Decree was entered in U.S. District Court (approved by the Judge) in which several of the PRPs agreed to a cash settlement for Area II.
In September 1992, an agreement was reached with the PRPs in which one PRP agreed to clean up Areas I, II (plant grounds), and III and the two remaining PRPs agreed to pay a cash settlement. The Consent Decree for this agreement was entered by the Court on April 1, 1993.
A Close-Out Report, documenting the completion of construction at the site was approved on September 28, 1995.
The site was deleted from the National Priorities List on October 18, 1996.
In June 1998, EPA issued a FiveYear Review Report, which concluded that the remedies that have been implemented at the site were completed in accordance with the remedies selected in the RODs and that the remedies set forth in the RODs are protective of human health and the environment. EPA will conduct another Five Year Review on or before June 2003.
Cleanup Progress
(Construction Completed; Long-Term Monitoring Underway)
The residential yard soils excavation and building decontamination and demolition activities described above have reduced the potential for exposure to hazardous materials at the site. The removal of the contaminated sediments provides further protection to public health and the environment. A total of 189,000 tons of contaminated sediment and soils were excavated and/or dredged from the site, treated and disposed of off-site. The former battery facility site is now ready for redevelopment and East Foundry Marsh and Cove have been acquired by Scenic Hudson, a conservatory organization.

Intel wholly owns the thunderbolt spec. It is theres from inception to right now. The collaberation that is often spoken about with apple was to get the design implemented in macs and working. Also to rename the spec from lightpeak to Thunderbolt. Apple filed for the name thunderbolt and then immediately turned the copy written name over to intel. Was kind of weird that apple filed for the name and then gave it to intel.
Edit: Just did a little more investigation is does seem that apple gave something to intel, for the use of the name thunderbolt, they gave them the mini display port plug which was an apple design as the form factor for thunderbolt plugs because thunderbolt was originally designed to use the usb plug. The usb consortium objected to there plug design being used in this way and intel used apples mdp (mini display port ) design to get around this.
By the way Apple licenses mini display port technology to anyone at no cost but it is there design.

It's not hard to minimize the significance of a so-called 'Apollo senior scientist' who would have been -- do the math -- 17 years old [or so, what do you think?] at the time of the moon landing, wouldn't you agree? And he seems to have been relaying rumors about

Rediscover the age-defying properties of forbidden fruit with today's deal: $189 for a 90-minute rare apple stem cell facial with skin needling, plus a take-home care pack and 20% off two subsequent salon visits ($500 value).

(Jul 16, 2009) It was reported on July 10, 2009, that Thomas Sibanda, an inmate in the Botswana prison system, is suing the government and seeking a court order to allow him to register to vote in the upcoming local government and parliamentary elections. His claim, which names the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and the Attorney General as defendants, also seeks that the court declare sections 6(1)(b) and 6(2) of the Electoral Act to be in contravention of the Botswana Constitution. (Lekopanye Mooketsi, Prisoner Seeks His Right to Vote, MMEGI ONLINE, July 10, 2009, available at http://www.mmegi.bw/index.php?sid=1&aid=8&dir=2009/July/Friday10.)
Section 6(1)(b) stipulates that no person will be allowed to register as a voter if a death sentence or a prison sentence exceeding six months has been imposed on him or her, notwithstanding the fact that the sentence was suspended or another form of punishment was substituted for it. Under section 6(2), two or more sentences for imprisonment to be served consecutively are to be considered as a single term for purposes of enforcing the above provision. (Electoral Act, 1968, 1 LAWS OF BOTSWANA, Cap. 02:09 (rev. ed. 2005) (official source).)
Sibanda hopes that the court will declare that the Constitution's section 3 on fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, section 12 on protection of freedom of expression, section 13 on protection of freedom of assembly and association, and section 15 on protection from discrimination on the grounds of race, among other sections, supersede the Electoral Act and guarantee his right to vote. (Mooketsi, supra; Constitution of Botswana, 1 LAWS OF BOTSWANA (rev. ed. 2005).)

Gabon, Fang people
Reliquary figure, 19th 20th century, wood,
Collection of the Speed Art Museum X.1
The Fang people, who inhabit the dense rainforests of
Central Africa, are organized around close-knit family
units and claim a common ancestry. Because their society
is so closely tied to the family, connections to their
ancestors are very important. They have developed a
very elaborate understanding of what happens to people
after they die and their sculptors produced artifacts
that represent the spiritual connection between the
people and their ancestors.
This reliquary figure, created by an unknown Fang sculptor,
symbolizes the connection between the living and the
dead. A sculpture such as this would typically have
been attached to the basket containing the remains of
deceased ancestors.
The exaggerated features convey many of the emotions
associated with grieving and at the same time express
a desire for a return to stability. The enlarged forehead
allows the sculptor to emphasize the eyes, which not
only appear sad, but also evoke wisdom and emphasize
a kind of vision that perhaps sees beyond the grave.
The solid, muscular torso and legs of the figure evoke
the kind of dependability that would be highly valued
during the upheaval that is common in times of grieving.

Plan on getting a MSR miniworks in the next few days, I was wondering how I should go about prefiltering the water. I was looking at this thread http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=13654 and I picked up some ideas. I also went and bought the 1 micron sized felt sock from DudaDiesel too. I was thinking take a couple ziploc bags, use one of them to scoop water from the water source, pour that over my bandana or a coffee filter into a cooking pan or pot (by putting a rubberband over the bandana or coffee filter and anchoring it to the top of the pan), then take the water from that pan and pour it through the 1 micron material into a little aquafina bottle, ( or whatever kind of bottle the miniworks will fit into... Hopefully I don't need to bring along a nalgene just to use as a waste bottle ), and then extract the water from the waste bottle through the filter. I might just skip one of these steps if it proves to take too long.Another thought is something like this http://cache.backpackinglight.com/backpackinglight/user_uploads/1299277870_38704.jpgI can attach one of those metal filters you get from under the sink (obviously get some new ones from a hardware store) into the cap of a plastic bottle, cut off the bottom of the bottle, and put a bandana or coffee filter around the bottom of the bottle using a rubber band to keep it put. The thing about this is how am I going to do it with only 1 set of hands? I could pour the water through this contrapment but what is going to keep it suspended over the pot of collected prefiltered water? I just want to extend the life of my ceramic filter as much as I can. I think when I set up camp for night if I have time I'll do both steps I mentioned earlier. I'm just making this thread to see if anyone can offer suggestions to get my thinking on track here.I'll post some pictures of what I can come up with.. See what yall think.
Edited by JohnD412 on 07/11/2012 00:04:10 MDT.
Don't know the specifics of why you want to go through the hassle of a multi-step pre-filter system just so that you can use a 1 lb. filter that IMHO (having owned one - and then promptly got rid of it due to it clogging so frequently) is a pain to use. I like both my Steripen Adventurer Opti with a .1 micro BioDiesel prefilter, and I like my Sawyer PointOne Squeeze filter (with AM in case of hikes in possible viral infected areas). Just my 0.02 cents worth. I'd ditch that idea of getting the Miniworks and look for something lighter and faster / easier to use. Both the Sawyer and the Steripen are right around 3.5 oz. - even bringing both would be less than half the weight of the Miniworks.
You could use just about any brand of prefilter. MSR makes the 25 micron "Siltstopper" if you want to add more weight and cost-- about $20 at REI. You can buy the MSR Sweetwater prefilter that is basically a screen that stops the big chunks (75 micron).MYOG gear options usually lean to using a bandanna, coffee filters and so on. I made a coffee filter holder from a Seal-A-Meal bag that will sit in the top of a pot or wide mouth bottle. You can make coffee with it too if you are careful and patient. See http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=44546Using your cook pot is the best method I have seen for water transfer. If you are freaky about contaminating the pot, a quick flame session should do the trick. With a Steripen, I used a simple smooth-sided drinking water container like a Smart Water bottle with the top cut off so I could fill it with other gear to save space. In a perfect world it could fit around your filter or pot. I've used cut down milk jugs as sinks and a 1/2 gallon plastic jug with the top cut off would make a good water transfer container. +1 on the Sawyer Squeeze filter and carrying backup chemicals with any filter system. Stuff happens.
Im not familiar with the Miniworks filter, but I use two layers of pantyhose stretched over a Nalgene to keep silt out before using my Steripen. Seems to keep particles out pretty well for my use.

Port St. Lucie police arrest 9 during investigation of suspected drug ring
PORT ST. LUCIE — Police this week raided three homes and arrested nine people, including a man identified as the "head" of a drug trafficking organization suspected of distributing significant amounts of painkillers in the area, according to recently released documents and an investigator.
Kevin Piscottano, 45, was identified as the "head" of the Piscottano drug trafficking organization. His home in the 200 block of Southwest Reynolds Avenue in Port St. Lucie was described as the "hub or center of operations," according to records.
Piscottano's wife, 50-year-old Christine Piscottano, was identified as an "active participant." When her husband "is too high on drugs or not in the home Christine Piscottano conducts the business with an iron fist," records state.
"The majority of the drug complaints that we get from the community involve the illegal use, selling and obtaining of prescription drugs," police Sgt. Charlie Lumpkin said Thursday.
A total of nine people were arrested Tuesday as part of the investigation. Lumpkin, who declined to go into specifics, said the probe is continuing.
Kevin Piscottano was arrested on charges including RICO, or racketeering, and drug trafficking, while his wife was arrested on drug conspiracy-related charges and an unlawful use of two way communication device charge.
Police monitored a trip the Piscottanoes made to an appointment at a facility in Boca Raton and on to a pharmacy in Fort Pierce.
Records identified the Piscottanoes as "distributors/deliverers," with several others, including Raul Maurice, 31; Melissa Hardecker, 36; and Maurice Jones, 38, being suppliers. Jones was arrested on two felony drug trafficking charges.
Lumpkin said a search warrant was served at the Piscottano home. A search warrant also was served on the home of Maurice and Hardecker in the 400 block of Southeast Sunnydale Lane. Maurice was arrested on charges including RICO, or racketeering, and drug conspiracy, while Hardecker was arrested on drug conspiracy and unlawful use of two way communication device charges.
A third search warrant was served on the listed home of Richard Zappier Jr., 31, and 29-year-old Katherine Von Watts in the 500 block of Southeast Walters Terrace in Port St. Lucie. They were arrested on drug and other charges.
Lumpkin said the investigation began in the fall.
Investigators determined Kevin Piscottano used most of the pills he got from suppliers, along with his and his wife's prescriptions, to sell locally.
Police monitored phone conversations between some of those involved. Sometimes they appeared not to use codes, while at others they did.
For example, one person asked "is David in town" and "six minutes of his time." Investigators suspect the former phrase meant, "do you have Dilaudid/hydromorphone" and asking for "six minutes of his time" communicated a desire to buy six pills.
Jessica Galileo, 30, of Palm City, arrived as police searched the Southeast Walters Terrace home. She was arrested on a violation of probation charge.
Rosie Philips, 59, of Fort Pierce, was arrested with Jones, of Port St. Lucie, during a traffic stop. She pretended to fall and yelled "My arthritis!" and apparently threw something under the vehicle. Police found a pill bottle with dozens of pills under the vehicle.
Two others, identified as Timothy Scott and Misty Fisher, were arrested March 12, each on a drug trafficking charge, records state. Another person, Melody Tyler, was arrested days later during a traffic stop.

It is hard to see the little things sometime, I have owned my Mustang for 3 1/2 years and sometimes I feel I am not what he needs or wants. What I did in the beginning was keep a journal of everything we were working on and even the smallest accomplishment . I have been a little lazy on keeping it up to date but a few days ago while going through past entries it is very clear to me that we have come a very long way indeed : ) It took him 9 months to nicker to me the first time and it was the most awesome feeling .
I agree with Spirithorse : )

Expanding Anyway attempts to channel the band's frantic energy into a cohesive full-length with varied results. The album is named perfectly: Almost every track is a maximalist construction of excess, with instruments piled higher than Brock's post-"Float On" bank account. It's hard to fault a young band with so much ambition, but most of the record tries too hard to be wild and trippy. The band frequently ruins a song by striving for weirdness—does opener "Boom Puma" really need a squealing talk box guitar solo and a barroom piano breakdown within its first two minutes? Coupled with the grunts and gibberish howls of lead singer Tiger Merritt, it sounds like a drug trip gone very bad.
Not everything veers into Enter the Void territory: The title track is Modest Mouse-y in the best way possible, with Merritt's endearing wails fronting a great melody and a rollicking backbeat. Morning Teleportation fares best when it keeps things simple, as on acoustic-picker "Day Dream Electric Storm" and the bouncy "Eyes the Same." Merritt's got a killer voice when he really opens up and sings—I just wish it wasn't hidden behind a cacophony of disparate sounds.
SEE IT: Morning Teleportation releases Expanding Anyway on Thursday, March 10, at Doug Fir. 9 pm. $10. 21+.

Government debt
Re: Raymond Freeman's April 3 letter, "Confusion":
His comment that banks in Cyprus are broke is correct, but he leaves out that just like banking systems all over the world, the Cyprus banking system is backed by its government.
Our FDIC is there to reassure Americans it is OK to trust the banks with their money, but how comforting is it to an educated person to realize that, in the case of banking failures, our government that is itself broke, is the agency that we count on to fix things.
I know Americans have come to believe that paying off accumulating bills with a debt consolidation loan is considered to be lifting them out of debt, but, of course, that is just a device to allow them to go back to accumulating more debt.
Governments all over the world are in the same shape as America thanks to "socialism, unions, government deficits, etc."
America has been doing debt consolidation loans for years and now that China isn't buying our debt any longer, the wizards in Washington have come up with the perfect solution to the problem by printing the dollars needed to "pay" the bills.
For the uninformed among us, each new dollar printed devalues the dollar in your pocket or in your savings account. Ask your neighborhood banker where his reserves are invested, and he will tell you his money is safely invested in government debt and this is the way it works all over the world.
Freeman is correct about the Cyprus banking system being broke, but its just the tip of the iceberg, represented by the finances of the industrialized western world.

Remember Me
In 2000, he toured with Chris Lovejoy on congas and Stephen Chopek on drums while finding time to jam with others in side projects. During his multiple night new year's run at SF's Yoshi's, Charlie found himself playing with Chopek, Lovejoy and added sax man John Ellis for the run. This unit persevered in 2001 but stops along the way found Charlie participating in Mike Clark's Prescription Renewal and a run of Garage a Trois gigs with freaks (a terms used as a compliment) like Stanton Moore (Galactic), Skerik (Critters Buggin) and Mike Dillon (Critters Buggin, HairyApesBMX). Hunter now finds himself touring again with Ellis, Chopek and Lovejoy.
This past Friday night, June 1, 2001, the 2001 edition of the Charlie Hunter quartet rolled into Cleveland and enthralled about 300 attentive fans at a newly converted Croatian social hall come hipster music venue - the Beachland Ballroom.
Charlie Hunter's current quartet has an underlying groove element fueled by percussion driven rhythms. I find it rather hard to determine what jazz tunes are played without reference to lyrics. Charlie's shows are no exceptions. I believe that, generally, without lyrical hooks, the crowd's attention is often lost especially when it involves jazz compositions. To engage the listener for a sustained period of time must be a true challenge for jazz musicians since listeners must be able to hear the words spelled out by the musical notes. It is always special when a room seems to understand the language of music.
On this cool evening in Cleveland, the crowd immediately started dancing from the first notes of the first set and were hooked without the need for any lyrical signposts. After a lot of crowd boogying and some amazing individual percussion performances from Chopek and Lovejoy, the stage had all four musicians beating percussive instruments. As much as Charlie Hunter is a brilliant guitar player (playing rhythm lines on the bass strings and lead guitar at the same time) he is also an excellent percussionist. The show provided great opportunities for the music to melt away into a drum session which had the audience hopping. A 50 minute first set was followed by an 1 hr 10 minute second set and encore. The crowd was pleased and quite attentive evidenced by very loud crowd reactions to subtle nuances occurring on stage.
John Ellis complimented the grooving music with short bursts of sax and longer thematic phrasing during the more melodic tunes. This may be the most interesting Charlie Hunter lineup since Pound for Pound hiked through the US in 1998. Many people around me appeared to agree that this was the place to be on a Friday night in Cleveland. It was great to see such a mix of heady folks, professionals, and regulars at the Beachland all focusing on the music and exchanging that knowing grin that we all love to get from someone we don't know that says "this music is great." A look at Charlie Hunter's career confirms that his music has got to be something great.
Charlie is a young musician with a lot of experience. Deep influences of hip-hop, jazz, latin music, blues and funk are present. He can play as a stripped down duo (e.g. Charlie with Adam Cruz or Leon Parker) or with a larger ensemble (e.g. Mike Clark's Prescription Renewal, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy), or as a guest musician (e.g. Medeski, Martin and Wood, Galactic) and his abilities shine. The Charlie Hunter Quartet's performance last Friday was moving, exciting and uplifting. So many people in the house appeared satisfied. Trying to put into words this level of enjoyment, my sister approached Charlie after the show to thank him. Her words for him were simple. She told Charlie that his music made her happy. Isn't that what we are all looking for?

Why did the Dominion sign a non aggression pact with Bajor?

Re: Why did the Dominion sign a non aggression pact with Bajor?
By offering a non-aggression treaty and then - more importantly - sticking to its terms once the Federation had left Bajor the Dominion also showed it was trustworthy - a smart political move to help gain allies and supporters in the Alpha Quadrant at a stage when major powers like the Romulans and Breen were still on the sidelines.

Finally, the Summer is here and many men will be feeling like an Alpha male in a pack of wolfs when those female bikini bodies hit the sandy beaches and parties. I've got a couple of tips to get your penis ready for action.
1. Run 5km once per week
As I've mentioned in previous posts, you should ideally be fitness training through out the year, including those cold Winter months. Why you may ask? Having a heathly body and strong heart gives you better blood flow which also goes to the penis. you should be able to run 5km in less than 30 minutes. It's only 30 minutes out of your 10,080 minutes in a week so it's really not that much.
Health Benefits:
- Stronger erections
- Better stamina
- Better overall well being
2. Buy mint shower gel
For those of you who's penis needs a good slap to wake it up in the morning, I highly recommend Original Source Mint shower gel. Only leave it on for about 10-15 seconds otherwise the gentlemen's regions you love may need taming! The mint extracts give you quite a sensational tingling which is enough to wake any sleeping man up.
Health Benefits:
- Wake up your penis in seconds
- Tingling sensation
- Smells great
3. Trim your pubic hair
I recently wrote 5 top tips for a porn star penis with the first tip being shave your penis. Not only will it improve hygiene, it also makes your penis look bigger. Generally public hair can hide the penis by around half an inch.
Health Benefits:
- Improve hygiene
- Makes penis look bigger
4. Exercise your penis
Although this really fits in with the first tip, it really deserves it's own topic. Your penis acts like a muscle so it is possible to train. It takes longer than simply going to a gym and requires more delicate attention, but overall it can provide you with a greater sensation and help you last even longer. I have some free penis enlargement videos that you can watch. Two exercises that are really important are: jelqing and kegeling.
Health Benefits:
- Increase penis size
- Even stronger erections
- Last even longer
5. Making your penis look bigger
If you are going to be sporting the tight pants look then there are a couple of options that you could try. Firstly, try placing a loose firm elastic band around your shaft and scrotum. This will help to give the appearance that the penis is pushed slightly further out rather than tucking back between the legs. Before you go into a pool or a room, you could try windmilling your penis in a circular motion to get the blood flowing to it. This will give you a semi-erection which makes the penis look bigger. To help maintain that, kegels can be used to keep the blood flow pumping round the penis. Anyone close by shouldn't even realise you're kegeling. Finally, if you're fortunate enough to own a penis pump, make sure you pump yourself before going out for the day. They can generally make the penis look bigger for a few hours.
6. Finally
Have a great summer, wrap up and be safe.

Bad update, limiting your maps
Merging T3 and T4 players ran off most of the T3 players.
T4 players Rage at least 3 to 4 players off a server every game leaving teams uneven and unbalanced.
Synch, and the stooges know what is in your best interest, it's best if you all just clogg your pie holes, and be happy with the cruddy maps they allow you to play, as they inch closer each day to the unemployment line.

General Info
Hey there
Hey. Just here to check out some videos. I'm not looking for a relationship or to hookup with anyone. I just like to look at porn occasionally. I also wouldn't mind chatting to anyone who genuinely wants to talk to get to know me a little better. I like to talk. I'm pretty cool, if I do say so myself. I've had this profile for a bunch of years now and I still haven't publicly "come out." There are a lot of reasons for that. If you're interested in finding it out, shoot me a message. I wish I had something to say that'd make me sound like a cool dude, but I prefer to prove it to you with my conversation as opposed to what's written here.
Turn Ons
Intelligence; wit; humor; effortless conversation; and a genuine person is JUST as much a turn on for me as sexual gratification.
Turn Offs
I don't want to come off as a dick, but I really hate it when someone says "hi" and can't go from there. OR if someone only speaks to ask me about sexual things. I get that this is a porn site, but you have to be better than that. You're not just your dick or asshole and neither am I. Treat me like a man and you'll get the same treatment.
There are WAY too many to personally name. But in a general sense, I like action, drama, sci-fi, comedy, and a little fantasy.
Reading (I'm an avid reader), writing short stories, cooking, video games, and trying to meet and make new friends. Does that sound too juvenile? Still true, though.
I'm not too picky when it comes to music. So long as the beat is good and the lyrics actually mean something, that is. I like anything that can make me sit back and relax or reflect or elicit some type of emotion. There's too much good and bad music out there for me to get more specific.
If it sounds like it's interesting, I'll read it. Pretty much the same as what I like with movies.

Kauai Kayak Rentals
Island Wide
Reserve a double or single kayak and car top to nearby rivers or inland reefs
Monday thru Saturday
Not for use on the Wailua River
Clic here for Wailua River Rentals
- Rentals are for 24 hours
- Comes with car racks
- Reservations are by appointment.
- Kayaks are dispatched between 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
- Monday thru Saturday
Searching Availability...
For those who prefer to strike out and go on their own we have kayak rentals.
We have a fleet of single and double sit on top of kayaks ready to mount on your vehicle.
The rivers are flat and so slow moving; the wind is often more of a factor than current.
There are also inside barrier reefs that on most days are safe to paddle.
Consult with us and we can help you develop a safe and fun float plan given your experience, the weather, or time constraints.
Paddling Rules of Order
One of best tips you can leave us, is observing these following tips:
- Make sure you have and wear your life preservers (i.e. PFD: Personal Flotation Device).
- We like repeat business. Do not venture out of the river and into the ocean unless you are very experienced.
- When in doubt, don't go out. turn around and sign up for one our river and/or ocean tours.
- If you do go out into the ocean, stay close to shore.
- If you do venture into the ocean and our barrier reefs, avoid walking or standing on our reef. It can not only be sharp but also wreaks havoc on our very fragile and endangered reef community. Keep to the sand.
- Even if you are very experienced in surf kayaking, avoid places where board surfers congregate.
- Avoid paddling in swimming areas.
- Give plenty of space to any aquatic birds that you may encounter on the river. Some of our native aquatic birds are endangered.
- Paddle your trash in...paddle it out! Show Aloha and carry out as well, any other trash not your own.
- If the rivers are turning muddy it is a sign that we may be getting to a flood stage.
- Observe caution and do not paddle further upstream if you feel you are having a hard time "bucking a current". Our rivers are generally in repose, and characterized as docile with little current.
- Keep to your float plan.
Rental Package Includes:
- Basic single kayak (Scrambler)
- Paddle
- Back rest Life Preservers (PFD)
- Car racks
- Float plan consultation
- Bow line

Nice breakfast, but heavy on the sugar and carbs. Has workout center and small pool.
Billed themselves as providing free airport shuttle & there was none. Suggested I call a cab ($100 ride) instead. Did not provide cleaning service because it was a holiday weekend. Staff utterly unapologetic. did not provide evening happy hours on holidays, either. The most eye-rolling I've ever seen in a hotel staff. They were full of themselves.
The bar area, food was good, drinks we're good. The contemporary look was nice, overall great experience.
The pool area was very small and extremely hot.
It was very different from the standard hotel looks, in that they are very colorful and the organization of the space and room is very unique. Definitely nice to see a hotel that is not the standard fare, especially outside of a major city. The king sized bed was pillow top and felt amazing. They had so many pillows on the bed that we had to move some off to a lounge chair. They gave out (free) bags of ice downstairs in the snack bar area instead of having an ice dispenser on each floor, which was another oddity, but we were ok with that. No complimentary breakfast, but there was an area where they served food if you wanted to order it for 24hrs. They have shampoo and body soap dispensers that are attached to the wall under the shower head. First time we saw that, and not sure if we liked it or not because it can be opened by guests and refilled, but it was better if you use a lot of shampoo and conditioner. They use Bliss products which was nice. Room was very well lit, with two separate overhead reading lights at the bed. Indoor pool was nice since it closed at 11pm. The water was a good temp but theres lots of chlorine in that water though. Overall a clean and neat experience at this hotel. I'd recommend it.
Water pressure in the shower could be better. It didn't feel strong enough to wash away all the soap.
Hard to get out of the parking lot of the hotel into the main road, as the stop light took about 8 minutes to change to green. Not sure if this may be a city street light issue, but they should probably have a better exit onto a main road.
Bathroom could be a bit bigger as the fridge was underneath the bathroom sink.

My instinct is not to get the magnetic seam guide near my new ELNA 6005 - but the ELNA dealer (well, someone who works at the shop, not the owner) said it was "no problem". I inherited this machine from my mom, and in her little thread box o' goodies there is a magnetic seam guide - I have no idea if she'd been using it on this machine or not.
So what is the verdict? Yay or nay?
edited to add: this s the product I mean. For all I know, my machine might not even be metal there, but I am not about to try until I know for sure. -- Edited on 11/14/07 4:14 AM --
My instinct is the same as yours - don't get it near a computerized machine. But I have no proof or first hand information either way. I've been warned about magnetic pin holders and told they should not be put on the bed of the computerized machine and I guess a magnet is a magnet. There are many seam guide alternatives so I wouldn't risk it but I'll be interested in seeing what others say.
I have a magnetic seam guide that I used to use when I had a mechanical machine. I haven't used it with my computerized machines. Somewhere I read not to use magnets with computerized machines so I err on the side of caution. I've got a seam guide foot for my Viking that I absolutely love. Elna may have a similiar foot.
My instinct is also no magnet.
I do the low-tech thing for a seam guide. A pad of Post-Its. This is a shot using my coverstitch machine but the principle is the same for a sewing machine.
"I base my fashion sense on what doesn't itch." � Gilda Radner
Another one chiming in to say you should not put magnetic anything on your computerized machine - that's what I was told by my dealer anyhow
Better safe than sorry. I use the same system Debbie Cook does with post-it notes. Also, there are grooves on my sewing machine throat plate and I put a fine Sharpie pen down in there to mark the 5/8" seam groove. Makes it easier for my aging eyes to spot it. Your Elna may be Janome made and there won't be grooves, but you can still draw the Sharpie line if you like.
Some people like to use the thick Dr. Scholl's moleskin in the same way we do the post-it notes.
Better safe than sorry. Mother boards are not cheap. I'd save my $ for fabric.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
I found another option at a quilt shop. A package of bright orange, heavy duty, clinging plastic strips. I think they are intended for use on the rotary cutting rulers for quilters but they work extremely well as seam guides too. You just remove them when you are finished sewing and then put them back when you are ready to sew again. Or, you probably could just leave the strip on. I do have a magnetic pin holder but it never even gets close to my machine.
I like Debbie's post-it-note idea. I just use a piece of blue painters tape.
I've been using that same magnetic seam guide on my 30 year old computerized sewing machine (Pfaff 1469) with no problems, and it's never even needed a repair in all these years.
If you're concerned the magnetic guide might cause a problem with your particular machine, give the manufacturer a call and ask. That way, you'll know for sure. Good luck!
PS...........I love that little seam guide!
I have been a *Nut* on that subject ever since a co-worker insisted on using a magnetic paper-clip holder right next to the computer I worked on 20+ years ago. One morning I went into work & the word-processing diskette was blank-- the program had been wiped out! (The computer was the original IBM PC 256 with two disk drives. Now an artifact of the distant past!)
Years later my sister used that darn thing on her *Mechanical* Kenmore & it suddenly wouldn't function for her at all! The tech who fixed it for her said it had a memory chip in it although it isn't computerized & the chip was ruined by the magnetic seam guide. The repair was the most expensive she's ever had with any sewing machine she's ever used! The post-it notes are a heck-of-a-lot cheaper than any repair!
Just my $.02 worth, Pat
------PVA (Pat) "A girl can't have too many scissors!"
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

'True Blood' Season 3 Preview: Vampires Vs. Werewolves
by Jane Boursaw, posted Jun 11th 2010 4:30PM
Sex! Blood! Werewolves! Eric's butt! Hang onto your vampire fedoras, because 'True Blood' is about to rock your socks off. Season three premieres Sunday, June 13 at 9PM ET on HBO.
Based on the first two episodes, the sexy goth-soap opera about vampires and other supernatural creatures will continue it's fangtastic run. If you prefer to be completely surprised when 'Bad Blood' airs Sunday night, you'd best stop reading here. You've been warned.
First, let's talk about werewolves. Yes, there are plenty of the furry creatures, and we don't have to wait long for them to make their presence known. Our own Laura Prudom talked with Joe Manganiello, who dished the dirt on his role as brooding werewolf Alcide Herveaux, whom he describes as the moral compass of the show. "He's a big, sensitive bunny rabbit inside of this wolf monster clothing."
The wolves have an interesting relationship with the vampires, made even more intense when sparks fly between Sookie and Alcide, who's looking after her while Bill's away. And what about Bill? The story picks up right where we left off in the season two finale, 'Beyond Here Lies' Nothin,' with Sookie frantically looking for Bill after his abduction from the restaurant.
Who stole him? Well, it could be any number of camps, including his nutty ex Lorena. But Sookie's first impression is Eric, whom we know has been trying to lure her away from Bill. Remember, Eric and Sookie are connected in a very intimate way, and there's a scene at the beginning of season three which would drive any girl mad -- except for Sookie. She's stuck on Bill, but their relationship gets very complicated.
While we've lost a few characters from season three, including Maryann the shaky Maenad and Tara's squeeze Eggs, there are a ton of new characters this season, including the aforementioned Alcide. I'm a little concerned that there might be too many characters and storylines churning to keep track of in season three. Time will tell on that score, but my advice is to stay focused while you're watching this season. Also, prepare yourself for lots of gore and some of the most twisted sex scenes ever on TV.
In the meantime, here's a quick rundown on some of the new folks:
Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare): The Vampire King of Mississippi.
Talbot (Theo Alexander): Edgington's romantic interest, described as "intensely beautiful."
Ruby Jean Reynolds (Alfre Woodard): Lafayette's mother.
Coot (Grant Bowler): A menacing werewolf.
Claudine (Lara Pulver): Sookie's faerie godmother.
Jesus Velasquez (Kevin Alejandro): A Latino orderly who works at a care facility where Ruby Jean Reynolds is staying and whom becomes romantically involved with Lafayette.
Franklin Mott (James Frain): A mysterious vampire who gets involved with Tara.
Tommy Mickens (Marshall Allman): Sam's long-lost younger sibling.
Debbie Pelt (Brit Morgan): Alcide's ex-girlfriend who has a problem with Sookie.
Holly (Lauren Bowles): A new waitress at Merlotte's.
Crystal (Lindsay Pulsipher): A mysterious girl who gets involved with Jason.
What are you hoping to see in season 3 of 'True Blood'?

There are four access specifiers in Java viz. private, protected, default and public. These access specifiers can be applied to classes, methods and variables. Having said that, there are some situations where using a specific access specifier is prohibited by Java compiler. For example, private can not be used with abstract keyword because abstract means that the implementation shall be provided by someone else and by making it private we are reducing visibility and hence preventing implementation.
The meaning of each of these four access modifier/specifier is shown below:
public means available to all. Any class, method or variable marked as final can be accessed from any piece of code without any restriction. If there is a public member variable defined in a class and its object is created in another method outside the class. The public member variable can be accessed using the object and dot (.) operator.
This is the most used access specifier in Java programs. When no access specifier is given to a class, method or variable then the default access specifier is used. The meaning of this specifier is that the entity shall be visible in the same package in which it is defined. The difference between default and public is that while public means accessible to all, default means accessible only within the same package.
protected means that only the classes in the current package and subclasses from other packages can see a particular method, variable or inner class. There are some methods in the java.lang.Object class which have declared as protected. A code example which shows the usage of protected access specifier follows:
package com.example; public class Foo{ protected int a = 10; protected void test(){ } }
package com.example; public class BarExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws ReflectiveOperationException { Foo foo = new Foo(); System.out.println(foo.a); } }
package com.sample; import com.example.Foo; public class BarSample { public static void main(String[] args) throws ReflectiveOperationException { Foo be = new Foo(); System.out.println(be.a); //We shall see compiler error here as the protected member variable is invisible //to non-subclasses outside the package } }
package com.sample; import com.example.Foo; public class BarWorking extends Foo{ void bar(){ test(); } public static void main(String[] args) throws ReflectiveOperationException { BarWorking bw =new BarWorking(); bw.test(); } }
private specifier is mostly used with methods and variables only. The purpose is to hide the internal details of a class from the outside world. Any thing which is private can not be accessed outside the current class. Of course, private members of a class can be accessed by using reflection but still there are ways by which access to private member variables can be completely stopped by using custom SecurityManager.
The basic OOPS principles Abstraction and Encapsulation require the presence of private access modifier. A common example of private member variable is the internal character array used by the String class which is not exposed to other classes. Any changes required in this character array are managed to public methods which return a new String object instead of modifying the character array of "this" object.
Note that protected and private can not be used for top level classes as it make the class invisible and hence makes the class unusable. If we use protected or private with top level class, we shall see following compiler error
Illegal modifier for the class Foo; only public, abstract & final are permitted
This is because of the fact that it doesn't make any sense to use protected and private specifier with top level classes which are meant to be instantiated or sub-classed. Thus we should be applying protected and private to member variables, methods and inner classes only.
