the circumstances of the best sex youve ever had.
best sex Ive had, by far, was with a woman I met at a goth-industrial
bondage-fetish night at a bar in Washington, DC. After talking
for a long time that evening, we exchanged phone numbers
and spoke again soon thereafter. She was very much a dom
as they say in that scene (aka, she liked to be in control).
After several long and probing conversations in which we
deconstructed each others fantasies in intimate detail,
she requested my presence at her apartment, which was a
sort of luxury high-rise in the Virginia suburbs. Greeting
me at the door in little more than a wisp of cloth, she
ordered me to her room, stripped me bare and proceeded to
shower me with the most intense and deeply erotic sexual
experience imaginable while heavy industrial club music
ground away in the background. The thing that awed me the
most was her oral skills. She told the tale about how she
was instructed in this department by a gay couple she was
friends with. They literally sat her down and showed her
exactly what to do, not letting her leave until her technique
was perfect. Her hunger for providing oral pleasure was
insatiable . . . again and again and again I was treated
to the best imaginable feelings. There is no doubt that
I met one of the most intensely erotic, skilled, high-libidoed
women on the East Coast. After hours and hours and hours
of blisteringly hot sex, I left in a daze and stumbled back
to my car, only to think to myself, Yessiree, those goth
bondage babes have got it going on.

had just moved out of my old apartment and was moving in
with my boyfriend. We went back to the empty apartment together
to do some last-minute vacuuming and cleaning so that I
would get my security deposit back. Something about the
empty apartment made us seem like a different place than
where I had lived. We felt like we were in an old abandoned
building. We made love on the carpet in the dining room.
In the kitchen, in the living room, in the hallwayevery
place that seemed inaccessible before, when the place was
full of furniture. The emptiness of the rooms made our voices
echo during the more vocal moments. When we got back to
our new place, we remembered that the carpets in the old
apartment had been doused with carpet cleaner the previous
day. Our entire bodies started to itch from a combination
of a rash from the cleaner and a slight case of rug burn.

where we became friends. Then great group sex.

that makes sex so intense . . . its insane!

returning from a three-week trip, I had sex with my girlfriend

in high school in the mid-80s, I met a girl in a video
arcade. I was 15 and she was probably 14. We both wanted
to play Frogger at the same time, and got into a small argument
over who should play first. We settled on playing doubles,
and after a few games, we went out behind the arcade by
a river and just started going at it . . . from 80s video
arcade to naked in about half an hour.

we got into the bathroom, and emerged when the sun was up,
about five hours later (despite frantic knocking at the
door before people got the picture we werent coming out).

my caught-in-the act story isnt so much about being caught
in the act of sex, but more about the act of cheating. My
boyfriend (whom I was not getting along with so great) at
the time and I went to a party at a friends house, and
while we were there I ran into an old fling; well, after
one too many cocktails, one thing led to another, and I
got talking with my old flame and we made plans to meet
up later on. After dropping my boyfriend off at his house,
I headed over to my exs. Well, my boyfriend decided he
wanted to call and say goodnight, when I didnt answer my
phone, he drove over to my house, and when my car wasnt
there he proceeded right to my exs house where my car was
sitting out front (stupid, I know, but remember I was pretty
sloshed). From there he proceeded back home, and called
me at my exs house just to let me know I was CAUGHT!

I finally made it upstairs, alone, into my 50 year old aunts
(she looks like Bea Arthur) bedroom, when I heard someone
coming up the stairs. I hid in her closet and looked thru
the little blinds on the door to see my aunt start to undress!
Well I had never seen a real live naked woman before, so
I unzipped my pants, pulled out my pud, and started to whack
it. I was sawing away like a madman when I lost my balance
and fell backwards and made a little noise. My aunt came
over to see what it was, opened the door to find me leaning
on some clothes with my meat clamped firmly in my hand.
She screamed, What are you doing in there?! and I zipped
up and she made me go downstairs. Thankfully she never told
anyone to this day (Im now 30), but I still feel weird

decided to hit the storage room in the bar upstairs. We
were getting pretty hot and heavy upstairs while the music
from the floor below us vibrated the floor making my climax
stronger and stronger as the beats went on. It was a great

would your utopian sexual society look like?
utopian society; sexuality would actually be a little more
of a private matter than it is in the United States today.
If sexuality is made commonplace, public and open, it really
loses its erotic appeal and thrill. This kind of goes along
with the idea that Catholic school girls become voracious
tigresses. I think that a little oppression goes a long
way in creating sexual excitement.

people would appreciate all aspects of sexuality, from kissing
to foreplay to the time after sex when all feels right.

Dr. Ebihara is studying the biophysical and pharmacological properties of gap junctional channels in the lens of the eye and other tissues. The lens is a transparent, spherical organ whose main purpose is focus light on the retina. It is highly dependent on intercellular communication for volume regulation and metabolic homeostasis. There have been three types of gap junctional proteins identified in the mammalian lens: Cx43, Cx46, Cx50. One of the current areas of interest in the field of eye research is to understand how these gap junctional proteins contribute to lens homeostasis and how cataracts arise. It has been recently shown that mutations of lens gap junction proteins are associated with certain forms of inherited congenital cataract. Furthermore, targeted disruption of the genes for either Cx46 or Cx50 result in the development of cataracts in mice.
One of the major aims of Dr. Ebihara's research project are to obtain a more detailed understanding of the biophysical properties of cloned lens gap junctional proteins and to localize the molecular determinants of permeability and gating of the gap junctional channels. Another aim is to examine the functional consequences of mutations of Cx50 and Cx46 found in congenital cataract patients. The techniques employed in these studies include: expression of cloned proteins in the Xenopus oocyte expression system and communication-deficient mammalian cell lines; two-microelectrode-voltage-clamp and patch clamp studies of macroscopic and single channel currents; other molecular biological techniques such as site directed mutagenesis; immunoblot analysis.
Gap junction membrane channels between adjacent cells allow passage of ions and small molecules that coordinate electrical and metabolic activities in tissues.

A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox offers a uniquely practical and hands-on introduction to ethics. Thoroughly optimistic, the book invites students to approach ethical issues with a reconstructive intent--to "break out of the box" in order to make room for more and better options than the rigid"pro" and "con" positions that have developed around tough problems like abortion and environmental ethics. In this book, ethics is treated not as an invitation to issue summary moral judgments or to construct and evaluate moral theories, but as an ongoing set of real-life challenges that call formultiple, integrated, and open-ended kinds of intelligence. Anthony Weston covers the skills that are vital to making real progress in ethics, including critical thinking, creative problem-solving, moral vision, mindful speech, and many more. Readers will find refreshing examples of real people andcommunities who have made progress in reframing and resolving ethical dilemmas by thinking and acting in constructive and innovative ways. Instructors can readily use the experiential and applied activities inspired by this "toolbox" of skills to design an interactive and collaborative ethicscourse, and students will find the resources and the encouragement to carry those skills into practice. A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox addresses a broad spectrum of compelling ethical issues, including abortion, sexual choices, what and how we eat, crime and punishment, fair trade, environmental justice, and many others.

Football takes its toll on every player on every team from each conference in the IHSA. Few teams have been more banged up with so few numbers than Pecatonica.
Football takes its toll on every player on every team from each conference in the IHSA.
Few teams have been more banged up with so few numbers than Pecatonica.
Already having to forfeit a second half of football to Eastland/Pearl City Week 2 in a 50-0 loss on the road, Pec is forced to forfeit today's game against Dakota.
"We have to forfeit," Pecatonica athletic director Kevin Kunkel said. "We don't have enough players to play the game so we have to forfeit.
" ... We'll have to forfeit and they'll get the win."
Pec forfeited against E/PC for the same reason in the second game of the year. Even though the Indians have managed to play four games since, the team isn't healthy enough to take on Dakota on the road.
Pecatonica coach Brett Frederick said that while forfeit is disappointing, the decision wasn't a hard one considering the circumstances.
"At some point the decisions become quite obvious to you," Frederick said. "So in terms of difficulty in determining which way to go isn't the issue.
"It's really difficult to take that experience away from our players and those of Dakota's players. It's just an unfortunate situation and my heart just bleeds for those young men who work so hard just to play on those nine evenings a year. I want to give that to them so badly."
Pecatonica still has Forreston and Galena left on the schedule, but it's not clear whether or not either of those games will be played.
"We're just playing it by ear," Kunkel said. "We'll know more early next week."
Frederick commended the team's resiliency throughout the season.
"It's such a resilient group," Frederick said. "We've known for years that this would be a difficult time for our program because there just wasn't a lot of players in this group.
"Yet these young men have showed up all summer and worked very hard. In fact I had a mother of a varsity player tell me 'I just don't understand how these kids and get beat up physically, lose games and then the next week come back and be excited to play pretty well.'
"And we have in little stretches, we just can't maintain it."
The team hasn't let the injury bug and forfeits get them down.
"That says a lot about their character," Frederick said. "Even this week, we have no game and we don't know if we're going to get healthy enough to play a varsity game at all again.
"But yet they're showing up, having fun and working and being scouts to the fresh/soph team and I think that says so much about them individually and as a group."
Page 2 of 2 - Stockton keeps it moving
Stockton has had to deal with an injury of its own. Jordan Fox was injured against East Dubuque two weeks ago.
Blackhawks coach Chris Thornton didn't want to divulge too much information about the injury, but admitted the junior will "probably not" return at any point this season.
Sophomore Thomas Fox has filled in the role and Thornton has confidence in him.
"Thomas is doing a good job and ran probably half the plays last week," Thornton said. "He did a nice job and he's a lot like his brother. He's got a strong arm and pretty good sense.
"Kind of like Jordan, Thomas came in inexperienced and had to learn some things and he'll have to go through some of those growing pains, but all-in-all he's doing a really fine job."
Stockton will travel to Milledgeville today, which will give the Blackhawks a chance to see different looks that could prove advantageous towards the end of the year.
"They're (Milledgeville) a throwing team," Thornton said. "We really haven't seen too much of that this year.
"That whole style of offense, which is similar to what Aquin does, presents new challenges for us. Defensively, they've played a lot of 3-5 and we had some missed assignments against that against East Dubuque, so we're looking to seeing if we've learned from those mistakes."

November 29, 2015
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Education Commissioner Jon Draud says he
used bad judgment in having the state buy him a Chrysler 300 car
with $13,000 in upgrades.
Draud was speaking at the Kentucky Board of Education meeting
Wednesday morning and addressed the controversial automobile
purchase. Draud said he regrets any problems he caused the board,
but stopped short of apologizing for his actions.
Draud said he hopes to move past the vehicle purchase.
Draud ordered a 2008 Chrysler 300 with a base price of $18,101.
Options including an engine upgrade, global positioning system and
a handsfree telephone pushed the price to more than $30,000.

Dr. Jo Ellen Parker became the 10th president of Sweet Briar College in July 2009. Since assuming office, she has led a broadly-based and data-informed strategic planning process resulting in "The Plan For Sustainable Excellence" which emphasizes increased enrollment, a more inclusive community, digital sophistication, an "entrepreneurial" approach to liberal education, and sustainability in both the financial and environmental senses. Under her leadership, Sweet Briar has rapidly expanded its digital presence, launching a YouTube channel and incorporating social media and blogging into its public outreach. Faculty governance has been strengthened, while administrative reorganization and outsourcing have increased operating efficiencies.
Prior to coming to Sweet Briar, Dr. Parker served as Executive Director of the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE). Under her leadership, NITLE grew from a network of regional collaborative projects into an international organization serving nearly 150 liberal arts colleges in the U.S. and abroad. Dr. Parker also served as President of the Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA), a consortium of 12 selective liberal arts colleges. In this role, her work focused on pedagogical innovation, diversity and international education.
Before undertaking these national leadership positions, Dr. Parker served her alma mater, Bryn Mawr College, as a faculty member and an academic affairs and student life administrator. There, she taught Victorian literature, women's literature and English composition while serving in the dean's office. Before joining the faculty at Bryn Mawr, she taught in the English department at Swarthmore College.
She earned her A.B. in English from Bryn Mawr, her M.A. in English from the University of Kansas, and her Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania, writing her dissertation on George Eliot.
Dr. Parker is married to Richard G. Manasa. They reside at Sweet Briar House with their three cats and two dogs. Her son John, 27, lives in Lynchburg, and her stepdaughter Morgan Manasa, 30, lives in Chicago.

2012-2013 Fiscal Cliff Tax Strategy
As I write this, there is still no agreement between the President and Congress over a budget deal for 2013.
Gee, now there's a surprise! Who could've predicted this??
Okay, humor and politics aside, no matter what agreement they reach, there are steps you can and should be taking right now to prepare yourself for one key area of the budget where you still retain some control: Capital Gains Tax Rates.
The one thing we already know is that tax rates on capital gains and investment income are going up in 2013 by 3.8% due to a provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (i.e. Obamacare). As of today, this will apply to joint filers above $250,000 and single filers of $200,000.
What we don't know yet is whether capital gains tax rates will also go up from 15% to 20%, or even higher.
Given this, I don't recommend buying or selling anything yet, but I do recommend preparing for the announcement by doing some homework.
Before I share my recommendation, let's quickly review capital gains tax law for a moment so we can clarify where this opportunity lies for you.
Capital Gains Tax Law
As a refresher, for investments you currently own outside of IRAs (you don't pay capital gains when you buy and sell investments inside your IRA), all "realized" gains are taxed at capital gains tax rates.
For example, if you purchased a stock or stock mutual fund for $100,000 and later sold it for $150,000, you would owe capital gains taxes on the growth, i.e. $50,000.
On the flip side, however, if you purchased a stock or stock mutual fund for $100,000 and later sold it for $80,000, you can declare a capital loss of $20,000.
That $20,000 capital loss, while painful to realize, has significant value if handled properly. For example:
An Opportunity From the 'Dog Days' of 2008-2009
Had you sold any investments during the downturn in 2008/2009, thus locking in and 'realizing' a capital loss, you now have the opportunity to recover some of your losses.
Or, if you have any investments held outside of IRAs that are currently in the red since you purchased them, you have an opportunity to lock in a capital loss right now and use it against your realized gains this or next year.
** The key point to grasp is that, if capital gains tax rates go up next year, any losses you had in the past that you're carrying forward will be worth MORE to you next year.
So, if rates are definitely going to go up, carry your previously realized capital losses forward to use in 2013.
Here's why: if you have $20,000 of capital losses that you've carried forward from prior years and you use them to offset $20,000 of capital gains in 2012, you save $3,000 in capital gains taxes.
However, if capital gains tax rates go up next year to 20%, and you're also subject to the medicare surtax I mentioned above, thus increasing your capital gains tax rate to 23.8%, that same $20,000 capital loss will save you $4,760 instead of only $3,000!
Fiscal Cliff Capital Gains Tax Strategy
So you can be ready, my recommendation for you is three-fold:
Once you're armed with this information, now you're ready to ACT when the President and Congress reach an agreement.
Remember that it's your "net" investment returns (after taxes) that you get to spend! Paying more than you're legally obligated to pay is not an act of patriotism. It's laziness!
Take control in places where you still can!

Next year they'll air the exact same ad, except the horn will be bigger.
No, judges said that.
Who inside Apple has enough clout to introduce the next surprising, disruptive invention?
Oh, nobody? Yeah, even ol' Steve barely had enough clout to do that. Steve suddenly got famous in 2010-2011 when the iPad was a hit even though all agreed it was a "stupid idea," his 9th "stupid idea" in a string of successful, profitable, revolutionary ideas that were ahead of the curve.
Apple hasn't done an interesting "stupid idea" since Steve died. It is run by businessmen now. And on deck, you have jizzlords like Einhorn.
Absolute nonsense.

The Grove
Narberth, Pembrokeshire, South West Wales
Boutique country house hotel with a restaurant, rooms and cottages, close to vibrant Narberth, rolling hills and stunning coastline
Here's a boutique hotel with a big heart and a little stream.
Owners Neil and partner Zöe took a gamble in renovating this
18th-century country house. Once derelict and overgrown, today a 20
bedroom gem with 4 stone cottages. It's only 15
minutes drive from the pretty seaside town of Tenby and a good base
to explore the stunning Pembrokeshire coast. Once here, you can
look out across fields and forests to the rugged Preseli hills. In
spring the driveway's a dazzle of bluebells and daffodils.
Calm interior design rules the main house but Neil's taste for collecting art adds colour - expect pictures from Vietnam to Brazil - and none of it jars. Candles and crackling fires light up the cosy dining room at night, and the food is sublime. During the day make sure you pop into Narberth. Out in the wilds, who would have thought you'd find this small market town with its cafe culture, boutique shops and tasty Spanish deli. You can see why the owners had to take this place on. It's enchanting.

NeNe Leakes mixed business with pleasure while Kim Zolciak gave birth on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Kim had one job and one job only this week: pop out a baby.
We still can't understand why it is that everyone was running around saying that Kim's about to be a mom. The woman's already got two kids! Her now-hubby Kroy Biermann, on the other hand, was about to become a dad for the first time.
Most men would be a nervous wreck at a time like this, but apparently Kroy kept all of his panic on the inside. Kim, who was busy having a baby, was a little snappy with her man, but at least she warned him that she was going to be cranky.
Childbirth or not, however, Kim was going to keep her wig on. She even had a spare. But after all of the huffing and puffing, pushing and cussing, Kim was finally able to give her firstborn son his big TV debut. Kroy Biermann Jr.'s first moments of life were broadcast for the world to see as he was welcomed into the "RHOA" family.
Unfortunately, Sheree Whitfiled's family situation isn't as warm. She was still contemplating how to get her ex-husband Bob to fork over his court-ordered child support.
Her struggle with Bob was made all the more heartbreaking when Sheree revealed that she has her own daddy issues. There seems to be a cycle of abandonment in her family.
The socialite shared that after her own father left, she only ever really saw him on Christmas. As a child she didn't require much of her father: just his time, his love and a Speak and Spell toy. Sadly, even though he promised countless times to get his little girl the toy, it never came.
It's a hurt that still deeply effects Sheree to this day, and she's hoping that her kids can break the generational curse by heading up loving, involved, two-parent homes.
Just as she's drying her eyes from that dismal trip down memory lane, Bob slams her with a request to modify his child support payments. According to court documents he states that he only makes about $3,000 a month. Sheree's not buying that excuse. Neither are we, to be honest!
Looks like she may have to haul him into court.
Since we're on the subject of court, we finally got to see Phaedra Parks in action! We know she's got a law firm, but it's rare that we've gotten to see her working in court on the show.
How'd she do? Let's just say that if we ever get in trouble, we're going to need Phaedra on our legal team! She was able to save her client from a jail sentence after he showed up to court high and lied to the judge!!! First of all: Who does that? Second: You betta work, Phaedra!
We hope those skills come in handy when Sheree takes Bob to court.
Fortunately, things weren't quite as complicated for Cynthia Bailey, who took a business trip to New York. She returned to the city that birthed her modeling career to see if she might be able to work with her ex-boyfriend Russell Simmons.
We're not really sure if they hammered out a deal, but they seemed to have fun catching up. And he gave Cynthia a good idea for her new business: Instead of calling it a modeling school, Russell suggested calling it the Bailey Agency School of Fashion, since Cynthia won't just be focusing on modeling.
Russell knows a thing or two about models since he's dated so many of them—he even married one! Savvy businessman that he is, Russell credits his preferences to two things. "I'm insecure, and I like pretty women," he admitted before hitting Cynthia with a few compliments. Apparently, he's still so struck by her beauty that he'd consider asking her out if she were single (and we all know Russell like 'em young!).
While in New York, she meets up with NeNe, who is also in town on some business. Or so she thought! After the ladies coordinate some plans together and catch up in Cynthia's hotel room, NeNe's off to discuss some money making ventures with John Kolaj of Famous Famiglia.
NeNe thought she was meeting up with John Kolaj for a business meeting, but he had other plans for her. It wasn't entirely unexpected, but she was not prepared for how hard John would try to impress her.
Their meeting was looking like a bad date at first—like a Two Can Play That Game bad date. He wanted her to do some catch phrases, he was hitting on her like there was no tomorrow, and it was all coming off so lame.
But then he chilled out and presented her with a pen from Tiffany's that she could sign their first business deal with.
Well, John didn't cool it for long. During dessert her laid it on extra-thick by gifting her with pair of strappy gold Louboutin sandals. Then he brought a singer to serenade her! There were even a few tears shed—and not by NeNe.
John did it big for the first date…err…business meeting. By the end of the night, he'd wore her down, and she resignedly said, "You gotta love John."

1983-1989 Plymouth / Chrysler Conquest car information
The Conquest was introduced in 1983 by a Chrysler Corporation that had yet to bring out its own sports coupe, the Dodge Daytona; that introduction would come a year later. The Conquest was aimed at import buyers who might have looked at the Supra, RX7, or 280ZX. A high performance grand touring car, the Conquest combined sporty, modern styling with an upper grade interior, advanced electronics (including electronically controlled automatic and thermostatic climate control), and many standard features. Full instrumentation was standard, and there was an optional "technica" digital dashboard.
A rebadged Mitsubishi Starion two-door, four-seat hatchback with no Chrysler engineering, the Conquest sold in small numbers and was based on the Mitsubishi Galant Lambda / Sapparo (also sold for a time as the Plymouth Sapparo). A traditional rear-drive, front-engined vehicle, the Conquest had a MacPherson strut front suspension and an independent rear suspension; the base engine in Japan was 2 liters, but Americans got a 2.6 liter single-overhead-cam engine with a turbocharger and throttle-body electronic fuel injection (using dual injectors). Horsepower originally ranged from 150 to 198, with the TSi model getting a boost from an intercooler; a five-speed manual transmission was standard, with an optional electronically controlled four speed automatic. By 1986 the only engine was the turbocharged 2.6, with hemispherical combustion chambers, a third valve in each chamber for better mixing and burning (MCA-JET), and dual engine stabilizers built into the block.
The aerodynamic shape was appropriate for a truly aerodynamic car, with a drag coefficient of Cd=.32, about the same as the later Dodge Neon and quite good for the time (or for today).
The Conquest ran until 1989 with few exterior changes (and a move to the Plymouth brand in 1986), by which time the Daytona had its own turbocharger; it was replaced by the Dodge Stealth, a moderately restyled Mitsubishi 3000GT with no apparent Chrysler engineering.
In 1986, the standard 2.6 liter turbocharged engine that generated 145 horsepower and 185 lb-feet of torque, getting 19 mpg city, 24 highway, regardless of whether it was fitted with a manual or automatic transmission. Mitsubishi used a small turbocharger to lower lag, while hemispherical combusion chambers with center-mounted spark plugs helped efficiency and airflow. Transmissions were a five-speed with 0.856 fifth gear and 3.369 first gear, and a four-speed with 0.68 fourth gear and 2.45 first gear; the high gearing on the four speed hurt performance a bit, but increased gas mileage nicely so it was similar to mileage with the stick-shift (both were rated at 19 mpg city, 24 mpg highway). The sole axle ratio was 3.545:1; turning diameter was a tight 31.5 feet; and the entire package weighed 2,820 pounds.
The Conquest included an optional automatic air conditioning system which measured temperature at both the ceiling and the floor, with a photosensor to compensate for sunlight. Like the domestic cars, it had an electronically tuned AM/FM stereo option with a five-band graphic equalizer, cassette, and six speakers, but this unit was completely different from the ones used in the domestics, and had digital controls (with somewhat less convenience.) Remote liftgate and gas-cap releases were standard and cable-operated; power window controls were in the center console.
The Technica package included an electronic instrument cluster, electronic voice alerts, and of course a nameplate. The dashboard included a digital odometer and climate control readout, bar-chart tachometer, gas, temperature, voltage, boost, and oil pressure gauges (the tachometer and boost gauges were horizontal, the others vertical), and a large digital speedometer readout. Even without this package, the dashboard was oriented towards the driver.
In 1988, Chrysler published this press release:
The Conquest TSi sports specialty coupe, imported for sale by Chrysler dealers, shows its world class ways in 1988 with the addition of an optional four-speed automatic transmission and new interior appointments to accent its aggressive performance personality. ... Performance highlights include a new 188-horsepower rating under the TSi's sleek hood, an increase of 12 horsepower for the strong 2.6-liter turbocharged, intercooled four-cylinder engine. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard equipment. The new beefed-up optional four-speed automatic transmission is now available.
Four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock rear brakes, an anti-theft system, automatic passive restraints and power door locks are just some of the TSi's standard highlights. New sporty five-way adjustable bucket seats, a new leather-wrapped fourspoke steering wheel and a new stainless steel exhaust system are added to a comprehensive list of standard equipment that help make Conquest TSi an outstanding value.
Conquest for 1988 is truly a driver's car featuring curve-taming 16-inch aluminum road wheels that are seven inches wide on the front and eight inches wide on the rear. The optional Performance Handling Package includes eight-inch wide front and nine-inch wide rear wheels with 225/50 (front) and 255/45 (rear) low profile tires and gas adjustable shocks for all-out handling and stability.
Exterior accents on the Conquest's performance check list include concealed halogen headlights, fog lamps in the bumper, a rear spoiler, rear wiper/washer with intermittent wipe feature, a new aerodynamic front air dam, optional pop-up glass sunroof and two new high-impact colors, Bright Yellow and Super Blue.
Interior touches include full analog instrumentation, split fold-down contoured rear seats, dual illuminated vanity mirrors, and fabric covered headliner, door trim panels, sun visors, armrests and quarter trim panels. Also among the more than 60 standard features that combine to enhance Conquest's comfort, convenience and value are automatic speed control, power antenna, electrically controlled heated outside mirrors, adjustable steering wheel, a full complement of warning lights, and an electronically tuned AM/FM stereo cassette radio with six speakers and a nine band graphic equalizer sound system.
The Conquest TSi imported for Chrysler is backed by a 3-year/50,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and a 5-year/ 50,000-mile outerbody corrosion warranty. TSi has a 95.9-inch wheelbase and an overall length of 173.2 inches. Width is 68.3 inches and overall height is 50.2 inches.
Featured Chrysler Conquest
One of the rarer cars at the 2008 All-Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle was this clean 1989 Chrysler Conquest TSi belonging to Terry Sturgill of Norton, VA. Terry acquired his car in 2001 when it had 56,000 miles on the odometer. It came with 8-way adjustable shocks and other options. The 2.6 liter single-overhead-cam engine, displaying the Mitsubishi brand on the valve cover, features a turbocharger and throttle-body electronic fuel injection. Terry has added a long list of modifications which he believe boosts horsepower to 375-400 from a typical factory rating of less than 200.
Photos show the car's highly aerodynamic body lines, front and back, and a cockpit for serious driving! But notice those safety belts that follow the opening and closing of the doors. The Mitsubishi version of the Conquest was marketed as the Starion, and, while the Starion evolved after 1989 into the Mitsubishi 3000GT and Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Mopar versions became the Dodge Stealth and Plymouth Laser/Eagle Talon.

Jackall's Iobee frog.
It's a topwater frog that has a lot of modifications built into it, so you don't have to tweak it at all.
Jackall has already done your homework for you and made nearly a dozen popular modifications to the Iobee, so it's ready to go out of the package.
Like any old frog, either walk it or "hump" it across the surface.
For starters, the Iobee sits in a more horizontal fashion for easy walking and lots of splashing. The hooks are bent at the ideal angle for both weedlessness and a good hookup ratio. The soft body is actually molded around the beastly, tailor-made hook.

Closed Cell EVA Foam
EVA Closed Cell Foam Posture Balls by Aeromat – Using a foam posture ball has many benefits. Some of these benefits parallel the benefits received when using a foam roller. Using a foam posture ball before your workout
is effective in properly preparing the muscle for the resistance load it is about to receive. You'll find that using this firm posture ball will release tension, help stretch you out and will get the blood flowing to that targeted area.
Using a posture ball in your cool down routine can be equally as effective. A posture ball will help break down any knots or tension build up received during your workout. It will also aid in a quicker recovery time as well as
helping cut down the soreness due to lactic acid build-up. A round closed cell foam posture ball can be preferred over a foam roller if the user wishes to pinpoint smaller areas of the body while applying more pressure so as to
simulate deep tissue massage. The smaller 6" diameter ball helps apply more pressure to a smaller area while the larger 8" diameter ball will distribute more of the users weight over a larger area of the ball thus making the bigger
ball a bit more user friendly for the beginner.

I have a servlet that renders HTML pages that refer to images with a relative path like
In the production environment I am using a servletmapping so I can use a URL like:
Since the images directory is a subdirectory of the docbase directory this works fine. However with the Tomcat server integrated with JBuilder4 the URL is default something like:
With a URL like that the path to my image will be resolved to:
and so I get a "ClassNotFound" error.
I have tried several things as a workaround, but nothing seems to work (especially since I have not been able to prevent JBuilder to regenerate the web.xml each time the application is started).
What can I do???

Know Your Rights campaign
The Know Your Rights campaign has been re-launched with the specific aim of ensuring that the capital's older people, carers and low-income families receive financial help and advice when they need it, and get the benefits they are entitled to.
Thousands of people are unaware of the support they are entitled to and could be missing out on up to Ł50 per week, including pensioners who are not claming winter fuel payments and families struggling in the recession, especially those who may have lost jobs and are now eligible for benefits.
This campaign is organised by the Mayor in partnership with the Citizens Advice Bureau and Age Concern who are available for advice and practical help to claim on welfare benefits such as: income support, incapacity benefit, disability living allowance, NHS costs and accessing direct payments for social care.
Customisable campaign posters
If you are a partner or other agency and you wish to support the Know Your Rights campaign for 2010, please see the 'toolkit' below, which includes downloadable PDF versions of the posters and leaflets.
