Has Fritz Springmeier Been Turned?
May 8, 2014( Fritz Springmeier present, left, and past, right)
The question is inspired by a recent post
by Fritz which presents the Rothschilds
in a favorable light and contradicts his previous writing.
Springmeier has gone from exposing the Illuminati
to disseminating their propaganda.
Fritz quotes Illuminati honcho William C Van Duyn as combating terrorism. The Illuminati organizes and finances terrorism.
by Richard Evans
Fritz Springmeier claims on his website that he has contact with Jacob Rothschild whom he makes sound reasonable and sweet.
He writes: This post shares some recent info discussed in communication between me & some Illuminati kingpins. We were all born with 2 ears & one mouth, suggesting that humans were designed to listen more than talk! There are two sides to a door, & two sides to a marriage. What did I learn when I communicated with these kingpins??
(left, the fourth Baron Rothschild, Jacob Charles)
The head of the Rothschild family today is a Baron. He requested that I simply call him Charles or Jacob. I hear he has been a peacemaker within his family. While he prefers not to be addressed with his title, even without the title, he has a longer name than most of us: Nathaniel Charles Jacob Rothschild. When I asked him what we can do to bring accountability to our leaders he basically answered that "sadly...power corrupts", and that "if you take a corrupt person in power & replace [him] with a fair & just person, sooner or later they also will become swallowed in corruption." In other words, accountability is an ongoing issue that can't be resolved once and for all. When asked what the Rothschild goals were for Israel, he said that neither he nor "my Family" involve themselves in Israeli politics. He also said, "Judaism is our religion, our belief, our life." I understand this to mean, that while Israel is important to him & his family, he is not involved in running the nation.
I don't trust Fritz Springmeier, especially since prison. His best material was actually the knowledge of his Illuminati defector contact Cisco Wheeler.
He always came off as not above the occasional hustle if the money got tight. I do believe he was framed - he's not a criminal.
However, he's come up with nothing new since his books with Wheeler back in the early 1990's. A year after he was released from jail I saw Alex Jones gave him some publicity and Fritz was back on the "Conspiracy Con" circuit selling his books off a folding table.
What do you do when you lucked onto unprecedented insider information on the Cult that Hijacked the World, but can never get access to that level of information again?
Why is the most powerful Rothschild patriarch in the world even granting Fritz and interview?
(left, 57 at the time. Is this the same man that went to jail?)
Here's a bit of the "old" Fritz from a 1990's interview:
"The Rothschild secret genealogy that they have secretly written down through the centuries, traces their genealogy back to Nimrod. These people were the ones that controlled the mystery religions. There was a supreme council that sat over all of these mystery religions of the ancient world. They were an extremely powerful priesthood, and they chose to go underground for many years and continue working behind the scenes. But they never left."
"Within the Illuminati the supreme goal is to balance their good deeds with their bad deeds, they are dualists. They are Luciferians at the highest level. That's why your greatest philanthropist will very often be your highest ranking satanist. What they are trying to do with their philanthropy is self serving when you actually look at it. It's not as generous as it appears. They are trying to do good deeds and balance those with their bad deeds, they believe in balance in their religion. It's a gnostic Luciferianism."
Does Fritz now expect us to believe the Rothschild elite are devoutly religious Judaics, that have no interest in Israeli politics? That's an awfully loaded statement - and Fritz presents it at face value.
I don't buy it. Fritz sounds as ingenuous as Ben Fulford in this article.
(Left. There's the Baron - second from right. That's the Rothschild patriarchs with the maquet of the Israeli Supreme Court.)
The Rothschilds created the State of Israel. They own it. It's just a tool for them.
Thanks to Marcos for the tip!

First Comment from Matt:
The author of this article is missing an essential piece of information: the fact that the whitewashing of the Illuminati occurred *right after* Fritz outed and exposed William Cornelius Van Duyn as the head of the Illuminati on Facebook (where the posts originate) to almost 10,000 followers. He had also been writing about power of Belgium and its scandals in the 90's. It was only after this that the nature of his posts changed to what the Illuminati would like us to believe and I sincerely believe Fritz was coerced into doing this as it totally is a 180 from his previous work. Fritz isn't out to deceive anyone; he's been persecuted throughout the years in different ways and he pissed them off again with this one.
I think they are feeding him their own info to disseminate to his readers. Some of these people (including Jacob Rothschild) actually 'liked' one of his posts on facebook. They're watching the readers responses I assume.
This was the first time he mentioned Van Duyn.
This is the second time Fritz mentioned WC Van Duyn.
See Fritz's reply Saturday
Makow: On his website, Fritz seems to quote Rothschild who glorifies Van Duyn.
Charles Jacobus Rothschild also commented on William C. Van Duyn, left, : "William is the most extraordinary man." Also he pointed out that he was born in Pauillac, France (1936). What I found interesting is that Hugh Trevor-Roper was his tutor growing up. One final thought from him, he said, "the most thought provoking thing in our time is that we are still not thinking."
William Van Duyn, who stays constantly busy, has been using the age-old tactic of the carrot-&-stick approach to influence the world. THE STICK. At times he has to meet with the head of "the Bureau" who runs about 50 assassins to insure that high level criminals will not walk free, even if they beat the court system. He does not mind that I report this. This limited vigilante system is in the process of expanding worldwide. My impression is that he'd like corrupt people in high places to think about how they act.
THE CARROT. On the carrot side, he has created the Van Duyn Foundation, based at 9490 Vaduz, Lichtenstein.
Here are excerpts from Mr. Van Duyn's recent speech at Interlaken, Switz. "Your Excellencies, Ladies & Gentlemen, I would like to thank the Swiss Foreign Minister & OSCE Chairperson... Officer Didier Burkhalter for inviting me to this important conference. I admire the hard work of the OSCE, with its comprehensive approach to security linking politico-military, economic and environmental and human rights objectives. It was well-placed to assist participating States in preventing and combating terrorism,....I say that terrorism represented [sic, in text sent me, he probably said "represents"] a threat common to all OSCE participating States. I also add that counter-terrorism strategies can only deliver sustainable results if they are implemented in legal, transparent, and accountable ways. Please let me reaffirm to you that the absolute respect of all obligations under international law is a priority in the World's fight against terrorism. I would like to put the topic of kidnapping for ransom on the agenda, as such kidnappings have become an important source of terrorist financing. Making the case for a no-ransom policy,
Therefore I like to provide you some information on its respective approach, based on three pillars:
1) prevention, in order to dissuade different citizens from travelling in areas with a high risk of kidnapping;
2) increasing the number of countries that adhere to a no-ransom payment policy;
3) intensifying international co-operation on specific kidnapping cases in order to obtain the safe and secure release of hostages.
....In 2013, 120 000 children disappeared or get kidnapped all around the world. ...children get kidnapped for prostitution... the terrorists are financing their evil attacks against American civilization. In Asia, more specific in the Philippines, children get kidnapped for financial reasons. South America and Mexico are using young kidnapped recruiters (age between 12 and 20) to fight for the Drug Barons and to activate a drug war....
Today, I wish to encourage a discussion on measures that should be taken to prevent and limit this phenomenon and on how the OSCE can support participating States in this regard. Thank you. May God bless you.
This has been a short report on what these leaders are saying & thinking. This is posted with the kind permission of Charles Rothschild. In a totally unrelated note, since I have been exposing the growing power of China, the Chinese have begun preliminary work to build another canal similar to the Panama Canal across Nicaragua. They have already have agreements w/ Nicaragua & Ortega. Have a great day.

Mike said (May 9, 2014):
Hello Mr. Makow . I do believe " SOMEONE MADE HIM AN OFFER HE COULD NOT REFUSE !!! "
Jim Perloff said (May 9, 2014):
Oh, come on, Henry, nobody's getting "turned." Me, I would NEVER stoop to that.
By the way, Henry, I think we've been too hard on David Rockefeller—I think it's time we started toning it down. After all, boys will be boys, right? And what's all this fuss about these so-called "chemtrails"? And by the way, Henry, isn't that Miley Cyrus a real doll? Hubba-hubba!
I knew we could count on you.
Marcos said (May 9, 2014):
It is terribly difficult for anyone who is inside a satanic cult to defect. Remember their own Amschel Rothschild, who was "suicided". Add to their pacts of solidarity the persecution from evil spirits, who can easily turn a person crazy, create diseases and accidents. If W. C. Van Duyn really were a nice guy who wanted to change things against the will of his master Satan, he would be dead by now.
Fritz is a person who has been through a lot. He is obsessed with the subject, has been locked up for years and is surrounded by weird people. Check his new friend, the woman who manages his website and tell me she is not creepy. Even though she is a Christian, her message is totally anti-biblical. Is she an influence on him? Mercy is not applied to people who are still sacrificing children. They should get justice instead.
The claims that this is not Fritz are outrageous. I have watched his video and it is him.
Fritz is a vulnerable person and has been against very powerful forces. Let's try to bring him to his senses.
The Illuminati, like the snake they worship, may change its skin, but is the same old serpent inside.
Richard said (May 9, 2014):
Fritz may be a victim of MK himself. I feel he's a mixed bag or double-agent.
He may be sincere but also used.
His info is off. Fritz wrote a book on bloodlines but Doc Marquis says he got
many wrong.
Direct contact from scumlords is a warning light. Nobody just chats with Rockefeller
or Rothschild. Since they OWN publishing, why would they use someone like Fritz
or Fulford? Because we're onto them and our influence grows. They need a con
tailored just for us. Other fronts like Zeitgeist, Thrive, and Occupy trap
the half-awake.
Politeness is a weapon for Luciferians. Psychopaths play your hope like a violin
and see naivete as weakness. It took Carolyn Hamlett some moments to grasp
the visage of Lucifer before her was unholy.
A common trick of psychopaths is a pretense of moral high ground. One of Frtiz's
'fans' -- minders? -- offers the same forgiveness shtick as Benjamin Fulford.
Her vid shows her by the mouth of a garbage can -- inside joke? Here's my forgiveness
offer to Rothschild: forgive national debts. You love Judaism, you say? Then give the world a Torah jubilee write off.
Satanist and masonic rituals incorporate denial of Jesus Christ. Doc Marquis
was a generational Illuminist witch who now wastes no words proclaiming Jesus
Christ. He exhorts Christians to fight with all their might. Fritz is too PC.
Fritz isn't tracking down targets in good investigative style like Barry Chamish
or Constance Cumbey. They tell you who's doing what to whom. You can download "Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow" from archive.org. Cumbey unmasks all the fronts and phonies.
By his own story, Fritz was not inside. His data comes second-hand from mind-wiped victims. Doc's info is first-hand. Inter alia, Doc recently told how illuminists plan to cover up the Rapture of the Church. He said emphatically that they
can and will do it.
Bruce said (May 8, 2014):
I'll begin with what I think I know. Fritz has never been seen or photographed without a beard. He has used multiple aliases. He professes to be a devout Christian who has made it his life's work to expose the evil Illuminati.
He shares large amounts of esoteric information with anyone who will give him an audience. Much of the information he has published was plagiarized from dead authors, and much of it is fiction. He is a convincing speaker with a good memory. He has demonstrated a keen ability to gain people's trust. He has infiltrated a number of Christian identity groups, including the Army of God. Key members of these groups who have associated with Fritz were arrested and sentenced to lengthy prison sentences. The FBI has a long history of successfully placing undercover agents in organized gangs.
This is what I believe. Fritz is an undercover agent whose specialty is infiltrating Christian identity "domestic terrorist" groups. He has never spent time in prison, and it would be a simple ruse for prison officials to post his name and photo on a prison website and collect his fan mail. He has never talked to a member of the Rothschild family. His has recently changed his cover somewhat to infiltrate some group on the FBI's target list.
M said (May 8, 2014):
Here's an old interview from ron patton
he interviews marion knox who deprograms mk surviors:
RP: What do you think of _______ (name of individual intentionally withheld), who is regarded as one of the foremost authorities on the Illuminati and mind control and has written several books on the subject matter?
MK: I think he's a double-agent working for the other side [the Illuminati]. ______ never gets to the bottom line of what it takes to get people free of this stuff. He tells a lot of truth but complicates it and leaves a lot of people feeling hopeless and confused... I saw a video of when he spoke at the Prophecy Club about the CIA programming Amish boys for assassinations. He slipped up and almost said, "we" do this and quickly changed it to, "they" referring to the CIA. It seemed to un-nerve him a little bit... He says he's a Christian yet leaves his family and moves in with a MONARCH woman, who he says he's deprogrammed but the reality is she's still being controlled. And this is not just my opinion but also therapists who specialize in MPD or what they now call, DID [Dissociative Identity Disorder]. Some of these experts in the field who have evaluated him during his presentations say that he has the characteristics of a programmer and someone under mind control... He and ______ had gone to a church near Portland [Oregon] telling the pastor they have an Illuminati family in their congregation and would like to talk to them about it. My question is, "How did they know they were Illuminati without even knowing them?". What I think they are trying to do is gain trust by exposing the secrets but even in his book he says the Illuminati put out their secrets and plans up front.
[back when, kathleen sullivan (another mk victim & author of the excellent book 'unshackled') confirmed for me that they were talking about fritz]
i got email from robin de ruiter in 2009 i have his book 'worldwide evil & misery' said he's been working with fritz since early 80s said he did investigations that FS used in his books
also, in book 'behold a white horse' by cisco wheeler she sez (page 219) that she & three other women (mothers of darkness?) provided fritz with detailed histories of the 13 Illuminati families
JG said (May 8, 2014):
Regardless of the source, this article makes a lot of sense.
I really do believe the House of Rothschild maybe only indirectly involved in the affairs of Israel. Also, I don't believe they have any plans of leaving England and setting up shop in Israel either.
The Rothschild Syndicate rules with money more than dialogue or ideology and this is why we often have trouble making sense of it. This would also explain why they fund both sides in war.
Money, power, and control has always been their "end game".
As far as their philanthropy goes it's mostly always institutional with a subdued political motive.
DL said (May 8, 2014):
I noticed the article you had posted today about Fritz Springmeier. I have been in contact for the past two years (in person, by phone and e-mail) with a woman who was satanically ritually abused by Oral Robert's and a number of other false christian leaders back in the 60's and early 70's. She told me of another woman whom she knew that was used in satanic rituals by the most famous evangelist that is still living today.
I wanted to contact her because of my families past association with that evangelist. I talked with the woman on the phone once for about three hours but she was not too free with giving out information. What she did mention to me was that she remembered being in a ritual with F.S. and she was not sure if he was there as a victim or a victimizer. He could have been trained by the illuminati as a programmer and reprogrammer. His knowledge about the whole topic is a little suspect as to the real reason behind his knowledge.
His IQ seems to be off the charts and he also has a military background. This woman was also supposedly in a satanic ritual with Rick Warren's father. (Purpose Driven Church / Saddleback churches). Rick is on the CFR and his son recently committed suicide at 27 (Hmmm? the 27 club???). The whole organized church or any 501C3 institutional church is a sham.
They are all wolves in sheeps clothing - hirelings. The real LAMBS are hidden and not connected. Enjoy reading many of your articles - especially the ones confronting the synagogue of satan Jews.

All About Area Rugs
When your room needs some pizzazz, adding an area rug will do the trick. To help you put your best foot forward when choosing rugs for your home, let's go over a few rug basics. From rug construction and proper placement to decorating tips and other details, we've got you covered.
Area rugs add comfort and richness from room to room. They lend a soft warmth underfoot, help define spaces, and create an inviting atmosphere throughout your home. With their wide array of patterns, textures, colors, and shapes, area rugs are an easy way to add visual interest in your bedroom, entryway, bathrooms, living room, and other spaces. Whether your home has carpet, tile, hardwood, vinyl, laminate, or linoleum, rugs are a wonderful way to dress up your floors by adding a splash of color and personality.
Use area rugs to help define each space within your home. When placed in a dining room, for example, a large rug beneath the dining table pulls the whole seating arrangement together for a unified, intimate, and inviting atmosphere. Look for a rug that's large enough for your dining chairs to stay on, even when they're pushed back from the table. For other areas of your home, consider adding smaller accent rugs to infuse pops of color and texture here and there. They may be smaller, but they can make a big impact. Available in lots of designs and colors, accent rugs are perfect for your entryway, bathrooms, or in front of the fireplace.
It's helpful to understand a few basics about rug construction. Area rugs can be divided into two categories: handmade and machine-made. Also called power-loomed rugs, machine-made rugs are woven on power looms - which are operated by hand or machine - using wool, nylon, polypropylene, olefin, or other materials in various pile heights, densities, and finishes. These mass-produced rugs are durable, functional, and affordable, though they're generally considered lesser quality than their handmade counterparts.
Like their name implies, handmade rugs are woven or knotted by hand. They come in several different types, including hand-hooked, hand-knotted, and hand-tufted. Hand-tufted rugs are created with a tool called a tufting gun to punch strands of wool through a backing, which is imprinted with the overall rug design. Hand-hooked rugs resemble the look of needlepoint or embroidery. Rug makers create them with a special tool used to punch through the canvas, and then latex backing secures the fibers in place. To make hand-knotted rugs, artisans meticulously tie thousands of individual knots to create the design of the rug. These rugs are prized for their fine quality and craftsmanship.

YourNews: Motivational speaker addresses Carson-Newman students
Motivational speaker Phil Timp shared with Carson-Newman University students during a morning chapel service how he has overcome adversity.
In 2011, Timp was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. He shared his transformational story of how he is coping with his situation with a powerfully positive perspective on life.
Originally a mountain climber, he talked about his time as a long distance runner and triathlete. Since the 1990s, he has shared his family's story about parenting his severely disabled daughter Beth. Beth cannot talk and lived in a world of seclusion until a breakthrough involving blocks of letters. For the first time Beth communicated to the outside world. Her first word was "smart."
"We believed we had not only climbed the mountain, but deserved to slide down the other side," Timp said about the breakthrough with his daughter.
Beth graduated from Abingdon High School as a member of the National Honor Society.
It wasn't until 2011 that Timp faced his next great mountain. His diagnosis of ALS is terminal, but that hasn't stopped Timp from living the life he has left to the fullest.
"Allowing God to interact in my every waking moments has allowed me to take on a terminal illness with the right mindset," he told the C-N students.
Timp encouraged his audience to face their own mountains and learn from his own determination to live with passion.
"Let's live at 110 percent and let God walk us up that mountain no matter how long and steep it is."
Timp serves as senior vice president at The Corporate Image PR firm and is the founder and executive director of The Beth Foundation, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to families with children with rare or severe disabilities. He is also an award-winning PR professional and journalist.

Title: I Spy with My Little Camera - Author: Deepprobsix
Published: Apr 19, 2014 - Contact: email@example.com
To start this tail I must tell you I am 25 5'11 inches tall long dark brown hair and of medium build, cock size of about 6" length and 4" girth, My wife is 5' 10inches tall long blond hair and that is natural blond, she has a body to die for long slender legs, well firm and great shaped butt, slim waist and nice sized breasts just over a hand full, they are firm and her nipples stick out at all times they just get longer when she is aroused.
We have been together since leaving school together and neither of us have been with anyone else as far as I know, when she dresses in her tight jeans and a tight top where ever she goes men stare and look at her like they want to rip her clothes from her there and then, she knows they are looking and wiggles her bum even more just to tease them.
So when I had an accident at work I had to spend three months in hospital and she came to see me every evening, the other men on the ward would look as she walked onto the ward and she would always come in sexy clothes just to wind them up and when she was gone most said god how lucky I was to have the love of a woman like that, and I knew I was.
Now my wife her names Pat by the way, she can not drive so it was either catch the bus or my our very dear friend Tom would run her in to see me some times he would come to the ward or just sit outside so we could talk.
Now Tom had been a friend since school he was in the same class as us and he was my best man at the wedding, what I have not said that Tom is Black and I mean Black African, but he is the nicest man you could ever want to know and would put himself out to help you.
So when I was released from hospital Tom came and picked me up and took me home, now I had been told that after my accident and operation I could not have sex for months, I was concerned for Pat it had been three months already and it would be a few more yet before I could give her sex and I must say she loves her sex, we have been married for 5 years and even up till this accident we had sex at least 3 times a week if not more if we could.
Anyway I was laid up in bed had loads of tablets to take that kept me drowsy and after about a month of laying in bed and only being aloud up to go to the loo, one afternoon about three hour after taking my tablets I work and could hear this noise as I was still half asleep I could not focus on what it was and for a while kept drifting in and out of sleep, but as I started to wake I could make out it was someone moaning, Yes Yes Yes OH God Yes this woman kept saying, then I heard Give it to me Big boy I want it now.
At first I thought it was Pat but then I thought no she would not do that to me not while I am hear, it must be on the TV so after a while of listen I dropped back of to sleep, when I woke again I could not hear a thing but Pat moving around in the Kitchen getting a meal ready for us.
When she came in with the tea I said nothing about what I had heard so we had tea and she sat with me for the evening telling me what she had been up to and she said that she had been out most the afternoon shopping, so I thought if you have been out shopping then who the hell did I hear earlier in the afternoon, but I said nothing, I said that I was feeling a bit better today and I hoped it would not be that long before I could get out of bed, Pat said sharply don't want you to hurry now do we got to make sure your up to it first.
So a couple of afternoons later I woke to hear the same thing as before, a woman that sounded like Pat moaning OH my God Yes yes Oh fuck yes yes, I tried to get out of bed but found it to painful and the tablets made my head spin when I tried to get up so I flopped back onto the bed.
This went on every second afternoon for the next to weeks, when my wife brought my Tea in I asked her is Tom all right he has not popped in to see me lately yes his fine Pat said and went a bit red in the face and then said he has popped in a couple of time in the afternoon but you have been asleep as soon as Pat said that the Penny dropped like a lead balloon.
It was her and Tom I had been hearing but I did not have proof and so I could not say anything, the next week was the same but now I could get up but I had not told my wife I was getting up and about more, so the next time I heard all this moaning of my wife going Yes Yes Fuck Me fuck me hard that's it cum in me fill me yes yes yes, I got up and moved over to the door and slowly undid it and moved down the hall, Pat was still moaning as I got to the door to the lounge and as luck would have it it was on the jar so I could peek though the crack between the door and frame.
What I saw was my wife bent over the back of the sofa and my best friend Tom just pushing what looked like any horse would be proud of inside my wife's cunt god it looked massive and he started to pump into her and she was saying OH fuck fuck fuck that's fucking big shove it in hard all of it come on give it to me, Tom took hold of her waist just about her well formed bum and rammed his cock into her hard and fast, then he gave one last push and held it there as he must have shot his load in her Pat was taking deep breaths , still saying Yes Yes Yes oh fuck yes.
When I knew he saw done I quickly moved back to my room and got back into bed, my mind was whirling with what I had just seen should I say anything what if I said that I had seen them and she left me I could not manage on my own, so I decided not to say anything for now but I did form a plan.
The next day Pat said she was off shopping and also meeting up with Barbara another friend, for a coffee I said ok did she have time to wait while I just go to the loo then I wont have to get up when your gone, so I made a meal of getting out of bed and walking to the toilet as I did not want her to know that I was a lot better.
After she had gone I got up and went into the lounge and though I will never look at that sofa the same way again, all I could see was Pat bent over the back being hammered by this massive black cock, anyway I went over to our computer station in the corner of out lounge and found the wireless spy cam I had, I brought it a few years ago when we thought we had someone walking around outside at night,
So I set it up so the lens saw poking out from just under the monitor and plugged it in to the mains, I went back to the bedroom got out my laptop and looked to see if it needed moving but I could see the whole lounge from where I had placed the camera.
That afternoon nothing so I could not wait for the next day, and sure enough Pat gave me my pills and I settled down when Pat left the room after giving me a kiss and saying I love you dear, I turned on my lap top and started to record from the camera.
I fell asleep and woke just before tea switch of the camera and could not wait until later when Pat had gone to bed to see if I had caught anything going on, so once Pat had gone to bed I turned on the lap top and pressed play, after a while Pat and Tom came into view and they sat on the sofa and Tom asked how I was doing but Pat said you have not come here to ask about Dave have you, and he lent forward and took my wife's head in his hands and held her as he kissed her fully on the mouth, you could tell there tongues were entwined as they kissed and I saw Pat's hand drop onto Tom's lap and run up and down his leg and inner thigh she ran her hand up and down his leg and they lent back and Pat placed her hand on Tom's crotch and stated to move her fingers stroking up and down the zip.
Tom dropped a hand onto one of Pat's breasts and squeezed it and Pat let a soft mmmmmmmmm as he did this and with the hand she had in his lap she undo the button on his jeans and then lowered the zip, sliding her hand inside his jeans she took hold of his cock and pulled his cock free, I could not believe the size of this thing from where the camera was it was hard to guess the length but what I could she on here and what I had seen the other day I was well over a foot long and really thick, Pat was only just able to put her hand round it's girth.
Tom stretched out and and his cock was now fully in sight and boy was he big, Pat started to move her hand up and down this massive rod, Tom mean while had pushed his hand up under her top and had her tit fully in his hand and I could see it moving under her top and he squeezed it and played with her nipple, Pat closed her eyes and opened her mouth and let out a Oh tom tom yes, then tom lifted Pat's top up and revealed Pat's breasts it took one in his hand and squeezed it so the nipple poked out though his fingers and lent forward and flicked his tongue a crossed it making Pat moan even more, he then sucked it into his mouth and played with it in his mouth,
Pat was in heaven already and was breathing hard, when Tom let go of he tits she moved and got down on her knees between his legs and with both her hands wrapped round his shaft he still he about 6" sticking out for them, Pat lowered her head and sucked this massive cock head inside her mouth, Tom pushed his head back into the sofa and opened his open and said OH my fucking God Pat that's fucking wonderful.
I should have been raging mad seeing my best friend having sex with my wife but for some reason I could not be mad nor could I take my eyes from the screen, and for the first time since the accident my cock started to twitch at what I was seeing.
They continued like this for a while than Pat stood up standing facing Tom she undone her jeans and lowered the zip, turning away from him she placed her fingers into the top of her jeans and slowly very slowly lowered then down over her well formed ass, as she did this her thong was revealed she lowered her jeans down her legs making her bend over sticking her ass out and at Tom, Tom put his hands out and touched Pats ass as she wiggled it in front of him, he rubbed his hands all over her ass down between her cheeks feeling her ass hole and pushed a thumb into her hole, Oh fuck Oh fuck she said, as Tom worked his thumb in and out of her ass, Pat was still wiggling her ass in front of him and Tom bent forward and ran his tongue up over her thong string across her ass I saw Pat shiver as he did this, Tom took his hand away and Pat stood back up and took hold of Tom's hand and pulled him up from the sofa placed her arms around his neck pulling him forward and kissed him.
Then Pat put her hands under his t-shirt and lifted it up and over his head, she ran her finger nails down over his chest and over his nipples making Tom go Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Tom's jeans had already been undone so as Pat went down on her knees, she pulled his jeans down and he stepped out of them, his Dark Black body stood there Naked and he dose a lot of work outs so his body was firm and his ass was round and tight, his mussels stood out and the light shone of them.
Pat once again took his big cock in both hands and placed the rest in her mouth and started to slid it in and out sucking on it, watching this I wondered just how much of this snake she could take in her mouth, when she took one hand away and now she was taking at least 8 or 9 inches this must have been going right down the back of her throat,she must have been doing this for a while as she did not show any signs of gagging as she took this amount down her throat and as I said it was not just the length but the thickness of it to.
Pat was sucking for all she was worth and as she slid her mouth down his cock Toms ass cheeks clenched together each time, Pat ran her hands up and down the back of Tom's black skin and got higher until she took his bum cheeks into her hands and squeezed them while pushing a finger from each hand into his ass crack and the into his hole making Tom shudder.
Pat was now finger fucking him as well as sucking his cock, my cock had really started to twitch at watching this it was not hard by any means but twitching was good it showed I was on the mend slowly.
Tom placed his hands under Pats arms and lifted her gently up until she stood in front of him and he put his arms around her and pulled her to him and there kissed so tenderly and then it was Tom's turn to go down on his knees but he did not just drop down he slowly kissed his way down her body, kissing her earlobes, neck, and down to her breasts and took each nipple in turn and sucked each one in and then pulled it with his mouth before nipping it with his teeth sending shivers thou Pat and making her cry out, Oh tom tom tom Oh yes yes yes, then when he had finished with her tits he carried on down her body over her stomach and she was breathing very hard and had her hands on the back of his head as he reached the top of her blond pubic hair.
Pat always kept her pussy hair well trimmed and she had this small line of hair just running down to the top of the slit, as Tom's tongue touched her pubic hair she took a deep intake of breath and whispered OH Tom and as his tongue went down a bit further he pushed his tongue into the top of her slit touching her clit as he did so and Pat shook like a leaf as shivers ran thou her body at his touch.
Tom pushed her legs further apart allowing him to get closer into her pussy pushing her lips apart, licking her clit Oh Tom Oh Tom she was saying running her fingers thou his hair as he carried on licking at her cunt, then I saw him push two fingers into her and Pat threw her head back and let a long Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo as his fingers push right up inside her and she pulled his head tight into her and even thou I was watching this on my spy cam I could hear him slurping he juice as it ran from her and I knew that it would be running fast as Pat loved her pussy licked , sucked and fingered Tom was not stopping on and on he went after a while Pat gave a OH CHRIST as her body shook as a orgasm ripped though her and she held Tom's head so tight against her it was a wonder he could breath.
When she got her breath back she let is head go and told him to sit on the sofa with his ass on the edge and then lean back which he done and Pat pushed his legs together and stood facing away from him and placed a leg either side of his and moved back just a bit and then bent forward so her wonderful shaped ass was sticking out towards him and his cock was standing upright in front of him, I still could not get over the size of that fucking monster, from where the camera was I could see as Pat lowered herself down.
Her cunt lips touched the tip of his flag pole and the tip of his cock opened up her wet pussy lips and Pat lowered herself more and more inch by inch slid into her, Oh yes oh yes fill me fill me oh god yes said Pat as she took more and more inside her then she was sitting in his lap with all this cock fully inside her how she took it I could not work out but took it she did.
Tom placed his hands around under her arms and cupped her breasts and squeezed her nipple hard from what I could make out and Pat moaned again as he done this then while he still had hold of her tits she started to ride up and down on his cock and his cock is so long that Pat had to nearly stand up to reach the top of it as she rose on the upward stroke.
Pat rode his cock like this for a while she was trying to not make to much noise as not to wake me in the bedroom but she did let out one hell of a OH FUCK YES as she climaxed again, Tom pulled her back so she her back was resting on his chest and he started to pump upwards into her now gaping pussy hole,he was still playing with her tits and squeezing her nipples hard as he thrust into my wife's pussy.
Why was I not an grey at these two my wife and my best friend fucking in my front lounge yet here I was watching it on my lap top and my cock twitching and pre-cum running from the top of it, Tom lifted Pat of and turned her round and she knelt either side of his lap, she brought her hand round behind her and took hold of his big black cock and lined it up with her pussy and she lowered herself on his cock once more.
Up and down she rose holding on to his shoulders on and on she pumped thrusting hard down on his cock slapping down into his lap, Tom lent forward and took a nipple into his mouth and sucked it.
Pat was now saying threw gritted teeth YES YES YES with every downward thrust, Tom reached round behind her and held her bum cheeks before pushing a finger into her ass hole something she had never let me do as she told me she did not like it, but as she rode his cock Tom had three fingers shoved into her ass and by the way she moaned she was loving it, Pat body went ridged and she stop fully down on his cock as she climaxed as it ripped though her body it shook once more and Tom bit her nipple sending more shivers running thou her, then she started to move once again rising and falling on his cock and with each thrust down he thrust up to meet her, soon both were panting for breath her saying OH OH TOM and Tom saying OH Christ PAT Oh Christ, both building up to a massive climax by the sound of it.
Tom still had a nipple in his mouth and three fingers shoved up her ass and then Pat Kissed him I think to stopped her from shouting out loud as a big orgasm went though her her body once again shaking and then Tom gave one big shove upwards and held it there and I guess he shot his load inside her deep inside her and Pat flopped against Tom pushing her nipples into his chest.
They stayed like this for a while just kissing and touching each other I heard Tom say you know I hope Dave never finds about about this it would kill him and our friendship, and I have know him as long as you have,Don't worry Pat said he will not find out and you know it is only until he gets back on his feet don't you, Yea I know he said.
Pat lifted herself of him and even thou Tom had gone soft his cock was bigger than mine when hard no wonder no cum had leaked out until Pat lifted up, she got dress and so did Tom and Pat said you are ok with this arrangement and know that once Dave is up and about that will be it don't you, I love Dave and this is only while he can not give me sex I don't want you thinking about you love me or acting different around Dave, No No it's fine said Tom he kissed Pat's cheek and left, I stopped the lap top and saved the recording to be watched again at a later date.
The next three afternoon went by and nothing happened and I wondered if I had been lucky and caught there last get together, but I thought I would kept trying until a week was up, and I am glad I did as the fifth afternoon I was lucky to catch them at it again, but this time not only did I catch the action on the lap top I stood at the door watching the action live.
As before they started on the Sofa kissing and cuddling tom lifted Pat top and once again no bra and he took her tit in his mouth and kissed the nipple sucking it into his mouth Pat gave a loud sigh as he did this and soon her top was of and on the floor, Tom was kissing and touching all over the top half of her body, they slid of the sofa and onto the floor and I was hopping that the camera would catch the action while they were still on the floor.
Tom picked up Pat and lay her on her back and knelt between her legs and undone he jeans and the zip, pulling them down in one fast pull, down and off they came and she lay there naked on the floor her legs apart showing her well trimmed pussy and her open cunt to Tom and he lent forward and pushed his face into her and as he lifted his head he ran her tongue up her slit and hit her clit making Pat arch her back and moan out OH OH yes yes Please Tom yes and he did it again and again.
While licking her he pushed two or three fingers into her wet pussy, Pat climax as he did this and on and on Tom went fucking her with his fingers and licking her clit with his tongue
Pat was shaking all over as climax after climax ran though her body, though gritted teeth she just kept repeating YES YES YES OH PLEASE YES then an OH FUCK YES and once again her back arched up high forcing her pussy into Tom's mouth.
Tom liked and sucked at her as she just kept on cumming, then he pulled away and stood up and stripped off while standing over her his massive cock sprang into sight and Pat said Oh Tom I want that massive piece of meat fucking me now.
But Tom got her to get on all fours and he knelt behind her and pulled open her ass cheeks and ran his tongue up from her cunt all the way up her ass and as he got to her hole he pushed his tongue into it Pat had never let me anywhere near her hole as I said before, then he carried on up and ran his tongue right up her spine making her shiver as he did so, than he done this a few times each time spending a little longer on her hole making it wet.
This time as he ran his tongue up her spine he brought up two finger and push them into her ass and she tried to hold back a yell but it came out as OH FUCK FCUK Tom OH YES as he pushed them fully into her, he started to finger fuck her fast his fingers going in and out fast and she was pushing back as he brought his fingers forward making then thrust into her even harder.
Now watching this happen live instead of on the lap top was much better and I had my hand down my shorts and for the first time since my accident I was getting hard in my hand and I was enjoying it as there was no pain like the doctors said there might been,
Tom now had three finger inside my wife's ass and she was loving it, I must say it did hurt to think she was letting him do this but had always stopped me when I had tried to do anything with her ass, but even thou I was annoyed I could not help but watch as he carried on licking and pushing his fingers inside her ass, then he removed his fingers and got up behind her and ran the head of his big big cock up and down her slit the when he reached her ass hole he stopped and pushed forward, Pat shouted NO NO NO Tom not that please not that I will never take that NO Please.
Tom pulled away and pushed his cock inside her pussy instead in and in it went until he had every inch inside her pussy opening it fully up to take his big massive cock, Pat pushed her body back against him taking it all and gave out a MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm oh that's nice Tom Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tom started to fuck her slowly easing out then back in all Pat could do was stay there on Hands and Knees and take it eyes close mouth open as her pussy was stretched with each inward thrust, then as he withdrew he pulled right out of her and his cock was wet,sticky,and slimy with her cum and without warning he pushed it against her ass hole and his massive head popped into her virgin ass.
NO NO TAKE IT OUT SHE WAS saying to tom IT FUCKING HURTS TAKE IT OUT, but he did not move and held onto her hips so she could not pull away, OH Fuck she said fuck it hurts, just stay still Tom told her don't move just let it rest there, she did what she was told and stopped trying to pull forward to get it out of her ass, don't tell me your ass was a virgin ass Pat Dave never fuck your ass then, NO she said I have never let him near my ass, not even kissed it like you did, he has wanted to but I would never let him.
Tom did not reply, but he still had hold of Pat's hips and he pushed forward just that bit more, I saw Pat flinch as it moved into her about a inch but this time said nothing, My cock was hard in my hand now and I was slowly wanking myself off inside my shorts watching though the door jar, I felt like bursting in and joining them but knew I could not due to my accident so had to put up with just watching and I could watch the recording later to.
So Tom was pushing forward inch by inch very slowly then resting it then pushing it in a bit more, Pat was still Flinching with each and every push in Tom now had over half of his fucking big cock inside my wife's ass it must have been stretching it so wide as it moved into her, then after resting for a while he started to pull out and Pat took a deep breath as he did but he did not pull fully out he kept the head of his cock inside her keeping it open.
Tom now lent over Pat's back and grabbed her tits and squeezed her nipples hard and as he did this he shoved forward pushing his cock back into her to about the same depth as he had done before Pat let another scream as he did this by not as loud or as verbal as before, Tom done this a few times twisting and pinching her nipples and he pushed back into her. By now it seamed that it was not so painful for Pat as she was not flinching each time Tom pushed into her and he was not now resting each time he was pushing in and out with out stopped.
He had now stopped playing with her nipples and was now back upright and holding no to her hips once more and now was fucking my wife's ass still not pushing in any further than he had the first time, Pat was moaning but now instead of NO NO it was YES YES OH FUCK YES, Tom then pulled right out and his big long cock sprang from her hole and stood up like a flag pole, PUT IT BACK PUT IT BACK Pat was saying I want it please put it back, Tom took hold of his cock aimed it at her hole and pushed, once again the head popped in to her ass but this time he did not rest but pushed on until just over half was back inside her once more, OH YES YES Pat moaned.
Tom removed his cock completely a few times and pushed it back in, I guess he was opening up her ass ring getting it use to having his cock enter it,then this time when he push back into her he push more in over three quarters this time but still Pat it not scream but just gave out a loud MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so nice MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Now once Tom had heard this he took hold of her again and now started to pound into her quite hard and fast Pat was rocking back and forth as he rammed into her and her tits were swinging back and forth as he pushed into her, she had her head hanging down but just kept on saying YES YES YES OH FUCK YES with each push in and out, I had lost count at how many orgasms she had had by now but it was a few and each one seamed big and harder than the last.
Tom lent over her again still thrusting away into her not so Virgin ass now and he took hold of her tits and once again played with then and then squeezed then very hard and Pat came so hard that she could not hold herself up any longer and flopped forward onto the carpet Tom fell with her still keeping his cock deep inside her as the when forward, he pulled his hands out from under her and lifted him self up onto his hand and with arms straight he stated to fuck her hard and now there was only about 2" that were not deep inside her no and one he plunged into her ass she came again and it was like she was having a fit as her whole body shook as she lay on the floor, standing at the door watching all this happen to my dear wife I was now wanking myself hard and as Pat came I shot my first load in months and I had to stop myself crying out at the pleasure I got feeling my cum rush up though my cock and spurt out the head and into my shorts, I felt dizzy with pleasure as I shot cum and cum load, Tom I believed was not far from cumming himself as he sped up pushing harder and harder into her as she lay beneath him he to was now grunting and groaning with each thrust into her, then as he pushed into her he did not hold back and plunged fully into her and held his cock inside her and filled her ass for the very first time with cum, it should have been mine but that was not to be, grunt after grunt as his cock pumped cum into her, She turned her head and said OH MY GOD I can feel it fill my ass up it's so warm inside me I wish I had let Dave do this to me now, I must say I feel bad that it was not him to fuck my ass first but you have shown me how fucking good it feels and when he is up for it I am going to let him fuck my ass like he has always wanted to do.
Tom got up and his cock was wet with his cum and Pat stood up and had to get a tissue to wipe up the cum now running down the inside of her legs from her ass, Then Pat dropped to her knees and took hold of Toms softening cock and placed it in her mouth and sucked it clean of all his cum, Something I never thought she would ever do once a cock had just come from her ass, but she was really sucking on it hard and she cupped his big black balls and rolled them around in her hand.
When Pat stood back up they started to get dressed so I went back to the bedroom and changed my shorts as the other one were now sticky and wet but I felt great that I had been able to cum and have no pain, I got back into bad and turned of the lap top and knew I would be watching all that action again soon. I lay down and closed my eyes when I heard the door open and Pat whispered Dave are you awake Tom is here to see you, but I did not stir and thought no Tom was here to fuck you not see me, later when Pat came in and said tea was ready she told me Tom had popped in and I said sorry I missed him.
After sitting and watching TV with Pat for a while I said to her I am sorry you know, What for she said , that I can not give you sex at the moment I wish I could but you know I love you don't you, Don't worry she said I can wait for you to get better and and then we can make up for lost time but getting you well first is the main thing, I said I was off to bed and would see her soon.

|Multiple radial corrugations in multiwalled carbon nanotubes under pressure.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21730685 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Radial elastic corrugation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure is demonstrated by using the continuum elastic theory. Various corrugation patterns are observed under a pressure of several GPa, wherein the stable cross-sectional shape depends on the innermost tube diameter D and the total number N of concentric walls. A phase diagram is established to obtain the requisite values of D and N for a desired corrugation pattern among choices. In all corrugation patterns, the cylindrical symmetry of the innermost tube is maintained even under high external pressure.

Mark Grudzielanek played in 1,802 games over the course of 15 major-league seasons. He appeared in uniform for six different teams, making the NLCS twice -- once with the Cubs and once with the Cardinals. He hit .289 with over 2,000 hits and 946 runs scored. He earned one Gold Glove and made the All-Star team once. He was a good guy who always played hard and was generally liked by teammates. Basically, Grudzielanek had a quality major-league career, but won't be showing up on any all-time lists.
That is, unless you are looking squarely at that stupendous last name.
So, in light of his retirement announcement Wednesday, it only seems fitting to put together an All-Star team of the best names in baseball. We're looking for who will carry the torch on with Grudz's departure, so it's current players only. No real criteria, other than that the name just has to sound interesting or be really hard to spell -- or both. This is completely subjective, so there's definite room for argument.
Without further ado, here is the 25-man roster (we also listed all names we considered).
CATCHER: Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Red Sox. And here's the team captain. There's no better name in baseball. Backup: J.P. Arencibia, Blue Jays. Also considered: Francisco Cervelli, Yankees; Taylor Teagarden, Rangers.
FIRST BASE: Pablo Sandoval, Giants. Bonus points for having an awesome nickname. Backup: Kila Ka'aihue, Royals. Also considered: Justin Smoak, Mariners
SECOND BASE: Chone Figgins, Mariners. Real slim pickings here. Nearly every name for a second basemen is bland or common. We'll go with Figgins because "Chone" is pronounced "Sean" or "Shaun" or "Shawn." Also considered: Robinson Cano, Yankees; Dan Uggla, Braves.
THIRD BASE: Kevin Kouzmanoff, A's. Also considered: Placido Polanco, Phillies.
SHORTSTOP: Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies. Alliteration gets him the nod here. Backup: Yuniesky Betancourt. Also considered: Marco Scutaro, Red Sox; Ryan Theriot, Cardinals.
LEFT FIELD: Scott Podsednik, Blue Jays. Also considered: Chris Coghlan, Marlins; Chris Denorfia, Padres; Ryan Langerhans, Mariners.
CENTER FIELD: Coco Crisp, A's. Another no-brainer. Second easiest pick on here after Saltalamacchia. Backup: Colby Rasmus, Cardinals. Also considered: Nyjer Morgan, Nationals; Rajai Davis, Blue Jays; Cameron Maybin, Padres; Denard Span, Twins; Ryan Spilborghs, Rockies.
RIGHT FIELD: Brennan Boesch, Tigers. Tough call here, but I'm a sucker for the alliteration. Plus, that's just a smooth combo. Props to his parents. Also considered: Jeff Francoeur, Royals; Nate Schierholtz, Giants; Nick Markakis, Orioles.
DESIGNATED HITTER: Milton Bradley, Mariners. Personal feelings aside, this was another obvious one.
STARTING ROTATION: CC Sabathia, Yankees; Max Scherzer, Tigers; Brian Matusz, Orioles; Marc Rzepczynski, Blue Jays; Justin Duchscherer, Orioles. CC gets the nod due to his first name being Carsten. Oh, and for losing the periods to his initials. The other four are pretty obvious with those last names. Grudz is surely proud. Also considered: Bronson Arroyo, Reds; Tim Lincecum, Giants; Madison Bumgarner, Giants; Gio Gonzalez, A's; Tom Gorzelanny, Nationals.
BULLPEN: Octavio Dotel, Blue Jays; Jeff Samardzija, Cubs; Fu-Te Ni, Tigers; Boof Bonser, Mets; Burke Badenhop, Marlins. All pretty obvious great names here, and I especially love "The Hopper," as the Marlins' announcers call Badenhop. Also considered: Brian Duensing, Twins; Joba Chamberlain, Yankees; Jeremy Affeldt, Giants; Jason Isringhausen, Mets.
SETUP: David Aardsma, Mariners. Based mostly on the fact that if you listed every major league player of all-time alphabetically, only Aardsma would come before the great Hank Aaron.
CLOSER: J.J. Putz, Diamondbacks. C'mon. He uses a double initial and his last name looks like an insult (though it's actually pronounced "puts," not "putts," for those in the dark).
MANAGER: Mike Scioscia, Angels. Maybe it's all mental at this point, but spelling that thing correctly still trips me up. Give me Grudzielanek any day. Also considered: Mike Quade, Cubs; Ned Yost, Royals; Manny Acta, Indians.

Amid Threats to Iran, US Air Force Says Bunker-Busters Ready To Go
The US has sent significant military reinforcement to surround Iran as it beefs up Israeli and Arab capabilities
After years of development and hundreds of millions of dollars in costs, the US Air Force Secretary said on Wednesay that huge bunker buster bombs built to hit Iran's nuclear facilities are ready to go if necessary.
The 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator is designed to destroy deeply buried, fortified facilities that protest nuclear enrichment facilities, like the one Iran has for civilian purposes at Fordo.
"If it needed to go today, we would be ready to do that," US Air Force Secretary Michael Donley said this week.
"We continue to do testing on the bomb to refine its capabilities, and that is ongoing. We also have the capability to go with existing configuration today," Donley added.
The comments come amid increased economic sanctions on Iran for nuclear program that everyone recognizes has no weaponization aspect to it, despite insinuations to the contrary by US and Israeli officials. Washington has also been beefing up its military presence all over the Persian Gulf in a bid to militarily surround and intimidate Iran.
Last year President Barack Obama authorized the transfer of dozens of GBU-28 bunker buster bombs to Israel, to placate supposed concerns about Iran's nuclear program. The Pentagon also just reached an agreement with Lockheed Martin Corp. for Israel's $2.75 billion agreement to buy 19 F-35 fighter jets, and options for up to 75 of the radar-evading fighters.
At the same time, the US has been beefing up the military capabilities of Iran's other regional foes in the Arab Gulf states, like Saudi Arabi, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates, the latter two of which just received promises from Washington to build new missile defense systems.
The United States has moved significant military reinforcements into the Persian Gulf in recent weeks, including increasing the number of fighter jets capable of striking the Islamic Republic. The Obama administration has put new, stealthy F-22 and F-15C warplanes into two separate bases in the Persian Gulf.
"Those additional attack aircraft give the United States military greater capability against coastal missile batteries that could threaten shipping, as well as the reach to strike other targets deeper inside Iran," reports the New York Times.
Together, all of these aggressive and belligerent postures are helping to make a political settlement with Iran – after months of ineffective diplomatic talks – all the more remote, as the Iranians feel more and more threatened.

Hundreds of millions of dollars to develop and build what is essentially a big bomb, the pentagon is going to look awfully foolish when they miss their target.
I can't wait to see several aircraft carriers go down like anchors. Then the US will whine and Hillary will bluster about and tell everyone China and Russia will pay. The U.S. can not defeat Iran. I hope Iran builds 300 nukes just like Israel and then everyone will leave Iran alone. I also hope they close down the Persian Gulf and cut off oil. Then I hope Russia and China get involved. I am all for the depopulation of people who are stupid enough to fight for the U.S. police state. They will not be able to stop Iran from building nukes after they attack.

Boundary Value Problems 2013, 2013:30 doi:10.1186/1687-2770-2013-30Published: 15 February 2013
The boundary value problems for singular degenerate arbitrary order differential-operator equations with variable coefficients are considered. The uniform coercivity properties of ordinary and partial differential equations with small parameters are derived in abstract spaces. It is shown that corresponding differential operators are positive and also are generators of analytic semigroups. In application, well-posedeness of the Cauchy problem for an abstract parabolic equation and systems of parabolic equations are studied in mixed spaces. These problems occur in fluid mechanics and environmental engineering.

It is all well and good to make New Year's Resolutions, but once the 1st is over, most of us can kiss our resolutions good-bye. We struggle to keep our momentum going and to keep our focus on work. The holidays may be over, but that doesn't really mean we're super-productive or feeling less distracted. In fact, many of us find that we are even more distracted because we've lost our sense of purpose or goal-orientation. That's why it's important to focus on your focus- to find ways to get past the doldrums, while improving productivity.
5 Tips for Making the New Year Work for You
Thus, I thought we'd do some end of January tips for making the "new" year work for you.
- Get rest. It seems to me that many of our problems are related to sleep deprivation. Unless you have an infant, go to bed at a decent hour {say before or around 10 pm- gasp!} and get the rest you need so you can get up at a decent hour, refreshed and ready to get started. After a couple of days of disciplining yourself to do this, your body will get in gear and like you for it.
- Re-design your work space. A cramped, messy, or disorganized work space is your enemy. Clear the clutter, file miscellaneous documents, and just get your space in working order so you can focus on work and not on the chaos around you.
- Make your work space and movements more ergonomic. Work-related injuries and strains are common and obviously uncomfortable and time-consuming. Thus, it is important to minimize strain on our bodies. One way to do this keep essential items within easy reach and be sure not to cock your wrists while typing. There are many ergonomic products and practices that can help you stay healthy and not strained.
- Try a sound machine. Now that you are rested and not strained, it's time to tune out distractions. White noise, or a sound machine, can be a great resource for loud or irritating/erratic noises that break your focus.
- Take breaks. If you find you still aren't as productive as you'd like to be, take a break. Sometimes just getting away from the work for even a few minutes will help you get better perspective and possibly even an different angle.
If you're tired of feeling tired and unproductive, try these 5 tips for changing up your routine and work space.

Chris Brown vs. Brian McKnight
Brian McKnight randomly went on a rant about Chris abusing Rihanna and getting little backlash and Chris retaliated.
It's evident that Chris Brown uses twitter for much more than promotion. He wears his heart on his twitter sleeve and has used the social networking site as an outlet of many occasions. From twitter beefs with Rihanna, Drake and other celebrities, Chris isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. He even deleted his twitter late last year, but we see that didn't last. Chris Brown's twitter rants have become an occurrence that doesn't surprise his loyal followers or us. We feel bad for his publicist.

hey, apple dumpling here, it would be nice if you could write a review on the reviewer... It is always up to the customer at G&C to choose the repairs they want to do. G&C will walk you into the shop and show you what you need today, soon, or in 6 months. Any shop you use should not have a problem answering your questions and or showing you the item on your car. G&C is the type of shop to answer these question and show you on the car - no strong arm techniques - it is your car and your decision. How many shops give out the owners home phone number? Just 1 - G&C TIre and Auto Service!
A very clean facility with top of the line customer service. They have a very well accomodated waiting area that made my visit a breeze. They were able to answer all of my questions and concerns and also offered a loaner car free of charge! I will recommend them to all of my friends, family and co-workers!
just wanted to drop a quick comment on how professionally and personally i was treated at G & C Tire and Auto Service. Greg & his staff are some of the nicest, most helpful people i've met in the auto repair business. i would recommend his service to all of my friends , family & co-workers. Thank you again for your help in getting me & my family back on the road so quickly.!!!
Rip-off Artists. I had a squeak in my windshield wiper. When they told me it was a $480 repair to replace the entire wiperblade transmission, I told them forget it. Picked up my car and there was no problem left (they just had to oil the insides). I asked another shop why they tried to rip me off. Word on the street - if they sell you a whole system, they get a profit cut. Do NOT go to these guys. Rip-off artists.
I want to share my pleasant experience with G&C Tire and Auto Service. I called G&C, Pepboys, Sears Auto Center, Toyota Dealer and one more shop to get a quote for the tune up (spark plugs and spark plug wires). G&C had the most reasonable estimate with the taxes. I took my 1998 Toyota Avalon XLS to the shop and was greeted by David and Gregg.They walked me around the facility which included 2 free internet ready desktops, a TV room, choice of drinks from a refrigerator and some eatables(donuts, cookies, etc). Gregg came to the internet room to show the estimate and get my signature. The only time I had to get up was to collect my keys. I am from India and I highly recommend G&C for the value they provide in their service.
- Ashwin
Wow...What an AMAZING experience. I have taken my car many places and have had many positive (and negative results) but my first experience with G&C will definitely make me a regular. Gregg was excellent. I was told by several places that I needed 500-1800 worth of work done on my Jeep to prevent it from overheating, and he repaired in 10 minutes for a fraction of what I would have paid somewhere else. It was fast service, friendly service, and left me with a smile on my face! THANKS!
G&C is a family owned shop that puts the customer first. Gregg took my vehicle in for a last minute job and stayed well after closing to ensure it got done as he promised. The work was superior and the cost was half of what was quoted at a dealership and another local shop (no exageration). I trust this shop and give them my highest endorsement.
I trust G&C for everything from inspections and minor repairs to major service. I've been taking both my cars there for years. The shop has a comfortable place to wait, or they'll provide me with a loaner car. The family part of their business is evident and I feel like they take care of me, provide solid advice, and offer a fair price.

Puget Sound Energy's Second Wind Farm Complete
NAW Staff, Friday 05 January 2007 - 10:37:10
Bellevue, Wash.-based Puget Sound Energy (PSE), the wholly owned utility subsidiary of Puget Energy, has completed Washington state's largest utility-owned wind power facility.
The 229 MW Wild Horse Wind Project in Kittitas County began commercial operation for PSE customers in late December. The wind farm's 127 turbines are generating enough wind energy to serve approximately 76,000 of the utility's electric customers, the company says.
Together with the Hopkins Ridge Wind Project that PSE built in 2005 near Dayton in southeast Washington, Wild Horse makes PSE the largest producer of renewable energy in the Pacific Northwest, the company says. Wild Horse and the 83-turbine Hopkins Ridge wind farm, combined, can meet the power needs of roughly 125,000 households.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers throws under pressure by the Chicago Bears' Amobi Okoye on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. / Evan Siegle/Press-Gazette
At the moment, its easy to make excuses for the Chicago Bears and their bleak chances of winning even a game without their starting quarterback, Jay Cutler.
And for good reason. The quarterback position is that important.
The Bears have lost five straight without Cutler after starting 7-3. The Indianapolis Colts are going to lose at least seven more games than last year minus Peyton Manning. On the flip side, both the Carolina Panthers with Cam Newton and the Detroit Lions with a healthy Matthew Stafford are going to win at least four more.
Injuries anywhere else normally dont have that kind of impact.
But the performance of the Green Bay Packers offensive line in Sundays 35-21 victory over the Bears shouldnt be minimized.
Granted, its a lot easier winning with a makeshift line than without a star quarterback. But the Packers had only two starters from their opening day lineup at the same positions and, still, they won the battle of the line of scrimmage against one of the best front sevens in the game.
Offensive line
The coaches did their part by devising a game plan that helped out the line by moving the pocket and running play action. And Aaron Rodgers did his part by stepping up in the pocket, getting rid of the ball quickly and making some plays with his feet.
But, from the Packers standpoint, the offensive line probably was the key to the game. It kept Rodgers comfortable and that allowed him to run the offense the way he wanted to run it.
The Bears flip-flopped their defensive ends, but Marshall Newhouse didnt have it easy whether he drew Julius Peppers or Israel Idoniije. Newhouse got beat a few times, but the saving grace was that there wasnt leakage elsewhere on those plays, and Rodgers was able to step up and make the throw. There were no jailbreaks.
T.J. Lang, after playing almost all season at guard, made a smooth transition to right tackle. Thats not necessarily an easy adjustment. A tackle needs to be more patient. As a guard, the ball is snapped, and Lang has someone in his grill right now. Playing tackle, he has to wait and let the defensive end dictate to him how to react in the passing game.
Thats what was so impressive about Langs play. He wasnt over-aggressive. He wasnt reaching. He set up nicely, let the end make his move and then he kept his hands up and compact. And he has good feet good enough to play guard or tackle.
The Bears didnt mount any real pressure up the gut and, automatically, that speaks well of the job that Evan Dietrich-Smith did. Its hard to get a handle on him at this point. Sometimes he seems soft. This game he seemed more physical. Maybe the best way to put it for now is that hes serviceable and maybe better than some of the backup people theyve had inside in recent years.
Consider, too, he has faced Ndamukong Suh and now the Bears tackles, so he has been tested.
Another thing, the line did a nice job of was run blocking. Scott Wells had another good game. Just as he has been doing at guard, Lang got off the ball quickly and also had the speed to cut off the backside defenders. Getting to the linebackers isnt an easy task for a tackle, and he was able to do it.
The run defense
Clay Matthews is the only player on defense rushing the passer, tackling well and making plays. For a team that tackled so well last year, its shocking how bad it has gotten.
For starters, the defensive line was getting pushed back. That meant the linebackers didnt have clear angles to the ball. There were plays where C.J. Wilson and B.J. Raji just got blown off the ball. All of the linemen looked like their techniques were sloppy they were playing high. Clearly, they miss Ryan Pickett.
Erik Walden takes on blocks, but he doesnt get off them and get to the ball. Teams are running around him, underneath him. His punch is unbelievable. But then a players mind has to take him from A to B and get to the ball carrier. Its like Walden has zero instincts.
A.J. Hawk had the big tackle for loss on an inside blitz before the two-minute warning. He shot a backside window and stopped the drive. Nice play. But most of the time, hes guilty of arm-tackling and not wrapping up.
The truth is, for a No. 5 pick, hes just not athletic enough. A big part of tackling is your feet you have to get your feet underneath you. When a player is reaching and grabbing as much as Hawk that means his feet are bad.
The corners are small and turn down tackles. Charlie Peprah is willing, but hes not athletic enough to be a good tackler. Hes slow to come to balance. Morgan Burnett seems to understand that its part of the game, but hes not a hitter. He doesnt have the lust for it.
Special teams
That has been a big improvement this year. The Bears have Devin Hester, and their average starting point was the 20-yard line. Bum wheel or not, Hester is still scary. By comparison, the Packers average start was the 35.
Thats huge. With the defense struggling the way it is, the Packers have to win the battle of field position.
Former Press-Gazette sports editor Cliff Christl and former football coach and player Eric Baranczyk offer their analysis of Green Bay Packers games each week.

The Human Factor
Understanding man's place in the ethical universe.
Dec 21, 2009, Vol. 15, No. 14 • By DAWN EDEN
Neither Beast Nor God
Last June, in perhaps his least surprising move since entering the White House, President Obama disbanded his predecessor's Council on Bioethics. Throughout his campaign, Obama had derided George W. Bush's ethical concerns as a "war on science." Once he delivered his Inaugural Address--with its promise to "restore science to its rightful place and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality"--it was clear that President Bush's panel of experts were about as welcome as elbow patches on an Armani suit.
And so, when the order came down for the council's bioethicists to haul away their proverbial cardboard boxes, Gilbert Meilaender, who had served on the council since its inception, was prepared. He did the logical next thing, the academic equivalent of going to Walt Disney World: He wrote a book. In his preface to Neither Beast Nor God, Meilaender, a Lutheran who chairs the department of Christian Ethics at Valparaiso University, writes that the book "began to form itself" in his mind as he "puzzled over questions that arose" in the council. (Oddly, he doesn't mention that it is essentially a book-length expansion of his 2007 New Atlantis article "Human Dignity and Public Bioethics.") He wishes "to distinguish especially two different senses" with regard to appeals to dignity--"human dignity and personal dignity."
The choice of subject matter, while certainly relevant to contemporary concerns, is not exactly cutting-edge: Questions of human versus personal dignity are older than Plato's beard. Thomas Aquinas was particularly taken with them, providing compelling answers in exacting detail. But Meilaender's muse is Augustine; he prefers leisurely meditatio to systematic quaestio, relishing the opportunity to reflect upon some of the mysteries of being human.
Although his book is not, strictly speaking, a work of apologetics, Meilaender seems almost apologetic for allowing his faith to enter the discussion. Both at the beginning and end, he admits harboring "doubt" over whether personal dignity may be rightly comprehended on purely rational grounds. His self-consciousness is understandable, given the current philosophical atmosphere: On the one side is liberal academia's much noted hostility towards theism; on the other are natural-law philosophers such as his council colleague Robert P. George, who has argued that John Rawls was essentially correct in asserting that, in philosophical debates about public policy, "appeals to religious authority . . . are legitimate only where they are offered to buttress and motivate people to act on positions that are defensible without such appeals."
In that light, Meilaender's openness about his theism seems daring, and not a little quixotic. Confessing his faith gives him the freedom to begin his meditation by asserting that man is not merely a material creature, but a composite of mind, body, and spirit. He quotes Augustine: God "created man's nature as a kind of mean between angels and beasts." On that foundation, he builds a natural-law argument of humans as living in a state of "needy freedom," depending upon matter and metabolism for functional independence, each individual bearing a "centered identity" and purpose. In trying to parse out ancient philosophical concepts without adhering consistently to a familiar system like that of Aristotle or Aquinas,
The difficulty arises when the author attempts to reconcile his purposeful view of the human person with his opinions on issues that came before the president's council, such as human cloning, biotechnology, and caring for the ill. His confidence in human purpose and teleology strains under self-imposed pressure to prove (by way of arguments that would be acceptable to a George or Rawls disciple) that controversies should be resolved in a manner that respects both human and personal dignity.
