Go stealth. Put your booze in a 5 Hour Energy bottle.
Works great too when you get a weak a$$ frozen Margarita at On the Border.

Looking for holiday inspiration? Our Advent and Christmas devotionals are here.
7:25 it is an abomination. Another call for utter hatred of pagan idolatry. But the idols were often made of gold and were valuable. The precious metal was under the ban (Hebrew herem); the idols were to be destroyed, and what could pass through the fire was to be given to the Lord (Josh. 6:18, 19).

Mountain Biking between Santa Barbara & Los Angeles
I'm having brunch in Santa Barbara this weekend, and then driving back to Los Angeles where I live. After brunch I'd like to drive for a while into the wilderness, park my car, and then ride my rigid frame mountain bike on some scenic single track (or fire roads, sure) for a few hours before heading home. Where should I go? [more inside]

I have tits like hers, never really liked them. Smth is wrong with the guy, he he. But overall they looked cute :)
looger.. Agree with you. Hate awefull tatoos Love that aggressive chick.
I like her! She is wonderful!!!
Cute looking girl has a face that looks like she should have bigger tits if you know what i mean
i want a blowjob baby
This girl has a body like mine small with tiny tits I love to suck my husbands big cock & he loves my shaved tight pussy we are looking into having a threesome any takers out there
Fuck you guys with your 7 inch penises. Mine is 2 nautical miles.
This girl got me hard as a rock in the first few seconds of the video, and the guy couldn't get up with her fooling around with him for 8 minutes? wtf!? The girl is totally sexy: cute, pretty face, irresistible smile, genuinely enjoying sex; absolutely adorable. Just wish we saw more of her pussy, and her having an orgasm; would love to see her in another video but without that guy, who is apparently camera shy.
There was nothing wrong with the guy. His dick looked completely spent. He probably came before the final scene and she was trying to get him hard again, but to no avail. No matter how seasoned someone is, their dick doesn't stay that soft when a cute girl is slobbering on it.
Like this girl I know what I want when a guy is in my bed . I am the one in charge and boys had better realise that if they want to eventually cum in my pussy, plenty of aggressive fooling around, being kissed all over, cock and pussy licking and anything else I want them to do.
Nice sexy little girl but I agree stud not up to it, pity she didn't have someone who would have truly appreciate her sexy body
Nice Cock, cute Girl. Dreaming of a threesome with them.
i the girls like that speed i could fuck 20 in one day
enteristing girl....nice job..
Great gal. Fun and cute. Could play all day with her.
white knight says it all, what fun it must be fucking this very active chick as she thrashes about whilst you cum balls deep inside her cute little pussy
This is Russia, bitchs!
she looks like my little sis
Love a girl that likes to get right to the point! Like her nips.
no solo su pija es pequenia tambien lo es su ganas de coger en vez de pena yo creo que da pena que no sepa coger
he's hard, just tiny dick hahaha
girls with small titties are the wildest in the sack. love em right up.
Dam I love thin petite women! This is my thing and I cant get enough!
Holycrap what country is it filmed in
the girl is cute and so much fun and enthusiastic. she makes me very happy.
i'm the boy there do u like our video :) ?
What's her name?
wtf r they saying
If you cant get a boner from a hot horny russian girl you just lost your hetrosexuality card
Troppo bona sta ragazza...e dire che le ragazze francesi nn mi hanno mai eccitato!
beautiful girl... what language do they speak? is it russian?
Re:beautiful girl... what language do they speak? is it russian? yeah, It is russian
Yeah, she is russian, and, i guess, ukranian... Guy is soooooo gay
Whats the name of the both? Want to see them in some other vids
she sucks niice but really small dick/cock too...
definetly amateur
yeah this is hot too bad THERES NO FUCKING SEX
hahaha, ein glueck versteh ich russisch. da ist das ganze sogar ziemlich witzig! geile kleine sau!!
love to make her cum
You are spot on TJ. . This girl got me hard as a rock in the first few seconds of the video, and the guy couldn't get up with her fooling around with him for 8 minutes? She is so sexy, absolutely adorable. A girl doesn't have to be miss world to give a guy such pleasure. The way she loved having his cock in her mouth and pussy and generally enjoying a sexy time would give me hours of fun satisfying her any way she wanted me to. Just love to dick her and release some spunk in her.
i came i saw i came
i wonder how the camera man feels
this video is the happiest sex scene that i have ever seen in 40 years.
very hot girl, so much hotter than all these big breasted barbie dolls
Beautiful, sexy and so fuckable
Now that's what I call a sexy girlfriend, she could jump me anytime and I would satisfy her little pussy for hours before filling her with my cream
She's just like the chick I'm fooling around with right now! like the fooling around and just her body is exactly the same! but my girl's face is better tho (:
her tits are amazing XXXX My cum would look so good spread over them xx I SO WANT TO SHARE WITH HER thx XXXXX
Now thats a little chick I would enjoy between the sheets
Wonder if she told her boyfriend that she gave some guy a blowjob let him fuck her and then cum on her face
Looks like this guy is a virgin or very shy.
I can find two names, its either Tanya or Riley. Can't find more of her !
SHE s ridicoulos...
love small titties, and girls feet! I would sniff the place where the stuff comes out.
iWatched. iFapped. iCame.
She commanded a lot. Kiss me here, kiss me there ... And so funny.
nice to see a normal guy with a normal sized cock anda really sexy girl without enormous boobs - GREAT and very SEXY
Love this girl! She is sexy as hell! Love her x
She looks just like my ex! Nice boobies, beautiful ass, but she was shaved, not so with Debbie! Deb could fuck all night, tho!
what a beautiful fucking body. And no fucking tattoos to mar it.
This chick is so hot I cum just watching her being dominant, I would do anything she wanted to get my rocks off with her.
she's so cute :)
This girl knows what she wants and goes for it. My sort of lover.
yeah, this is both funny and exciting. the girl is pretty cute! and it's a REAL amateur, 'cause it is not professional: the video doesn't finish with the guy cuming on her face.
wow.. what a urgent girl... really so sweet pussy...
yeah, its a 5 star guys. all its missing is a shot of her craphole.
My kind of fun girlfriend
I wanna fuck her
Awesome girl - very very very sexy. Let down by her stud I feel. WIlling and eager stud here - just ask!
What is wrong with this guy?!? I would be hard in a heartbeat from this girl.
Yo bitch I wana fuck you hard
She is so cute.Isnt't she?
Any other videos with this girl? She's fantastic!
Ohhh, would love to eat her, then bone her, then clean up the mess!
Did he masturbate finally?
This girl is so eager for sex I wish she was fucking with me!
Amazing girl.
Such a wild little thing, would fit on my cock just perfectly
awsome girl but crap porn
i wuld make big fuck on her over. i lov her smal tatas. the boy penus is scare of her. lol
i want to fuck that girl!!! bring her to me!!!
Doom420, no all teen girls in the UK are NOT like this. but at least our girls are sexy and not up themselves like a lot of american girls. Marie, a threesome with another girl, how about with another horny guy instead? just imanine two big hard throbbing cocks to satisfy you every needs.
sometimes i like to take control when im with a new guy for the first time. I talk dirty and order him to get his cock out and wank it really hard for me and to suck, i think guys love to be dominated if they know their going to get their rocks off. im the hottest aggresive bitch around these parts because i love cock and submissive guys
that a girl!! wish more girls were this awesome..
Having sex with a little cutie like this is fantastic and as Alisha puts being aggressive and in charge is a dream cum true for a guy. I love to be dominated with girls who are so active and willing to please their man as well as themselves. Best ever sex.
I just love lithesome girls with small titties! (describes my sweetie)! This sweet little Goddess is such a cheerful, delightful fuck toy. Her enthusiasm is undeniable, but I think something is wrong with her boyfriend's cock! A girl like her shouldn't have to work that hard to wake a guy up! Love the way she goes into another world when her cute pussy is licked.
@looger & @ Clint I hate tattoos, body piercings, plastic boobs and lame-ass porn chicks that wear high heels when they suck and fuck. ewwwww!!! Also spitting on genitalia...very low class!
I love her tiny breasts. I notice she wasn't wearing a bra. I'll bet she never wears one. She certainly doesn't need one!
thats girl is so hot
wuts her name, full scene plz?
like a girl i had in Asia, no tits, but so exciting. what can I say....there are no tits like the delicious very tiny ones
U know what... this is the best sex video i ever seen, this is what all about in sex GOD DAMN I wish to have girlfriend like her
So amazing she didn't even need sex.
One hell of a sexy girl, imagine her jumping on you and ravishing you...if only

The Gūtmaņala (Goodman's Cave) grotto is the most popular and vast cave in Latvia. It was formed in the course of 10,000 years by water gradually eroding sandstone. The grotto is a protected geological site and the oldest tourist attraction in Latvia.
The level of water in the River Gauja once reached up to the very grotto; it was molded in an interaction between the Gauja and a spring which still flows out of the depth of the grotto. Not far from the grotto, the Gūtmaņala Visitor Centre offers information on the nature and heritage sites to see in the vicinity of Gūtmaņala and in the Gauja National Park.
The visitor centre and the walks in the nearest surroundings can also accommodate visitors in wheelchairs and families with babies in prams.
An insight into Latvian traditions and beliefs. An ancient wedding ritual will immerse you in the atmosphere of the olden days and enhance the solemnity of special wows. Arrangements by tel. 26542144.
The grotto is located on the right from P8 road, between Turaida and Krimulda. Drive through the town of Sigulda, and take the bridge across the Gauja.

Does the battery have a full charge? All connections clean and tight? The primary voltage to coil, should come from ignition switch, key on. You may need to check voltage to and from ignition switch. Also, you may have to check wiring circuit to coil.

You mean you are NOT Nick Carter? Nevermind. Thanks anyway.
Wait a sec, Nick Carter is old, too. My age is showing. :/
I had to look up Nick Carter. Backstreet Boys? Geez, I'm 41 and I consider the New Kids after my time. If you think you're old, I must be Methuselah.
I just realized who he reminds me of… a blonde Steve Buscemi with slightly better teeth but none of the talent.
Steve B is hot in his own creepy way. MC is just nasty and skeletal.
you forgot to subtract the talent, but yes.
Mila breaking up with a him really did a number on him.

The project, under development by Pattaya's leading Tulip Group, has been expanded to include an 850 square meter ballroom and four additional meeting rooms in the hotel.
The project will also include four tennis courts, two for the hotel and two for condominium residents, along with a separate fitness facility, a spa and a lap pool on the car park roof. Another two fitness facilities will be included in the project's two condominium towers.
The developers also recently unveiled a unique landscaping design that will incorporate a water park, wave pool and lazy river that includes a swim through a massive glass shark tank.
Due to be completed in three years, the mixed-use Centara Grand Residence will feature 315 residential units and a 200 room hotel managed by Centara Hotels & Resorts.
"We are offering 340 parking places in a 315 room condominium project," says Tulip Group CEO, Kobi Elbaz. "This has never happened in a Pattaya condominium development before."
"Not only are we providing amazing facilities for residents and guests, we have recognized that more companies see Pattaya as an ideal destination for meetings and conventions. The demand for ballrooms is also increasing as this destination expands and becomes more sophisticated."
Tower 2 will be officially launched on May 10 at the Siam Paragon Luxury Property Showcase in Bangkok and sales are expected to be brisk.
CBRE is sole agent and is representing the Centara Grand Residence project at the Siam Paragon Luxury Property Showcase 2012.

The Playboy
by Carly Phillips
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Rick Chandler
Kendell Sutton
I like Kendell and Rick. And Kendell's sister is a trip. This book did seem to be a bit overlong to me but that could just be contemporary burn out. In the end I'm glad Kendell got herself together and she and Rick should have great future.
3.5 Stars
The characters are rather interesting, as is the action the local teacher takes to try to capture our bachelor's interest. I don't like the portrayal of the teacher as she comes across as nasty and vindictive (I would have been happier had she been an administrator, since her actions would have been more believeable), but it serves its purpose in creating awkward situations and mortifying instances that move the story along.
This was an ok book, i dont know if ill read another by her tho. Too many details for my liking but i did like the story line, the characters and things like that. Not sure if ill read another. Maybe another time or something :)
This is the second book in the Chandler Bros. series. It is much better than the first book, and these characters are more interesting and the heroine is very amusing. Rick is the local cop and Kendall is just" passing"" thru and is stranded in a wedding dress with pink hair. so begins the story of these two. It includes Mother Chandler who is a busy body and manipulator par excellent, trying to get her sons married.
But the repartee between Rick and Kendall is often very funny and makes for pleasant reading.
Pretty funny story about a Mom who pretends to have heart problems so her 3 sons would marry before she dies!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446610550, Mass Market Paperback)There isn't a woman in town who's immune to the legendary Chandler charm. Yet so far single cop Rick Chandler has managed to fend off the marriage-minded advances of Yorkshire Falls' entire female population. A past mistake has taught him never to put his heart on the line ... until he answers the SOS of a real-life runaway bride. In spite of her pearly gown and tiara, Kendall Sutton vows to never wed- which makes her the ideal pretend lover who can ward off Rick's legion of admirers. When their passionate charade flames into the real thing, Rick is suddenly thinking about two words that spell forever after. But will Kendall ever say "I do?" Can a woman who's had it with weddings tie the knot with the town's most popular playboy?

What It Is
What It Is
This may be one of the most difficult games I've had to describe yet because it is also one of the most unique and creative. I'll start with the basics; Scribblenauts is a DS exclusive that combines elements of classic action games, such as Mario Brothers, with imaginative puzzle solving brainteasers like those found in the Professor Layton games. Players use the DS touch screen to help the game's character, Maxwell, collect a Starite (a gold star) on each level. Here is where things get tricky. In order to get the Starite, you have to figure out what objects Maxwell will need to use in order to reach the Starite. The game recognizes tens of thousands of words so once you decide on an object, type the name into the touch screen keyboard and that object will appear in the game. For example, The Starite might be in a high cave on the other side of a section of water. One way to reach the cave is with a jet pack (I've used that a few times) but once you reach the cave, how do you get the Starite out if the cave is too small for Maxwell to fit in? That's what you have to figure out.

Miscommunication but over all good experienceReviewed on 10/07/2014 Ashley D
While my Bouquet, my girls bouquets, the corsages, boutonnieres, and such turned out very well. there was a slight mishap with the flowers for my girls hair. They changed the flower because THEY didnt think it would work.. without consulting with me.. which resulted in them... Read More having to do what I wanted (which Did work and looked amazing) and having to deliver them. And then they forgot one. So they had to redeliver. I'm not sure if it was this... that caused them to be late to the church or not.. But they were throwing up decorations on the pews as my guests were coming through the doors.. and we were having to throw boutonnieres and corsages on the wedding party, parents, and readers.. right before they walked down the aisle. They centerpieces they made for the reception..they worked... however.. I feel like I could have done better.
BEAUTIFUL flowers!Reviewed on 7/13/2013 Season S
Our flowers from Lemster's were absolutely PERFECT for the big day! Our colors were coral and yellow, and Jeff was great about working with our ideas and making them even better! Lemster's was great about working with our budget and doing their best to make everything beautiful... Read More for our special day. Jeff was very straightforward with us about things he thought would look good or would be out of season (and more expensive!), and we really appreciated his honesty and attentiveness. Lemster's also listened to our suggestions and really did a wonderful job with our bouquets and centerpieces. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on my bouquet - a mix featuring dahlias, lilies and roses in white, coral, yellow and green. I'm so glad we were able to go in with a few ideas, and Lemster's knew just what to do to turn them into something amazing. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful arrangements!

With colder temperatures and frustration setting in, New Jersey officials pushed harder Friday to get electricity restored to the state that was socked hard by Superstorm Sandy.
Gov. Chris Christie announced that he would make public a list of when utility companies intend to restore power to each community.
Even if they end up working faster or slower, he said, residents will have a sense of when they will have power restored so they can plan their lives a bit better. ...

Drumheller : Michelin's recommendations
As visitors approach Drumheller, crossing a fertile, wheat-growing plain dotted by bobbing "donkey head" oil pumpjacks, the townsite comes as surprise. Nearly 120m/400ft deep and 1.6km/1mi wide, the extensively eroded valley in which the town sits is the very image of desolation. But it is due to this erosion that the Dinosaur Capital of the World is one of Alberta's most visited sites, overflowing with tourists during the summer.

When I developed the print I noticed that the tonality that caught my attention on the contact sheet was completely absent from the final print. On the contact sheet there was beatiful separation of shadows and highlights, and very smooth tones alltogether, whereas on the print everything looked kind of muddy and flat. some parts of the subject almost melted into the background.
I was wondering, could this be due to too much enlargement, could I be pushing the limits of a handheld 125ASA 35mm negative? It should be noted that both prints were made on the same type of paper and both with a grade 2 "filter" (using a dichro head, so no filtration at all really).
This doesn't sound correct. Are you sure both contact print and enlargement were made from the same filtered lightsource?

And knowing is half the battle
Petra (who needs to blog) diagnosed me as an Aspie. And then I took like 3 or 4 Asberger's/Autism tests, and I scored pretty stinking high on all of them as being on the spectrum. I also tested likely to be dyslexic and something else with a similar d name that I can't remember and can't be bothered to search my email for. She also diagnosed Jamie with Asberger's, and Jamie took the tests too and self-diagnosed. What have I done with that? Not much besides mentioning it to our therapists, and I wasn't really able to convince any of them. But all that said, it explains some things beyond just being introverts. I had a session with my therapist last week, and I ended up telling her the one thing I haven't ever told anybody. I really hadn't planned on dropping that little skeleton to her, but it came out. And I didn't even have a meltdown in the process, though I think my tear ducts are broken. ;) Anyway, after talking though the whole situation, she told me that I seemed to have a kind of survivor's guilt even though I was not one of the victims. Just collateral damage. Not being one to just sit on that, I looked up survivor's guilt and it is a facet of PTSD. Then the lightbulb turned on, and it was as if all the pieces finally fit together as to what the heck is wrong with my head. It's no longer "What the heck is wrong with me?" Now I know. Now I understand. Finally. This is why I either overreact or shutdown. This is why I bounce wildly between high and low and angry. This is why my fight or flight is so extreme with flight being default. This is why I am such a control freak. But knowing is half the battle. Now that I know the why, I have a long road ahead of continuing to process and let go of what wasn't mine to being with and own what is mine.

And I know I need to blog. I have writer's block. It sucks.
And I'm glad you are figuring things out!!! That's a huge step toward recovery. <3
I came across that writing prompt website the other day! LOL

South Africa coach Gordon Igesund has been admitted to hospital due to severe abdominal pain, a national football association spokesman announced on Wednesday.
The doctor treating the 56-year-old said initial tests showed he might be suffering from appendicitis and that further investigations would be done to confirm the diagnosis.
Igesund, winner of the South African Premiership with four clubs, became national coach six months ago and guided the 2013 CAF Africa Cup of Nations hosts to the quarter-finals last month.

Bit of a thickie
An American beer to send me off: an acknowledged classic which I'd never had before and wasn't sure what to expect. I certainly wasn't prepared for how thick Anchor Porter is. It gloops out of the bottle and folds up in the glass, leaving a dark tan head and giving off aromas which promise imminent caramel and chocolate.
And on tasting it's that amazing texture that strikes home first. You really need to take a solid pull on it to get a mouthful. Wrapping around the chewy molasses flavours there's a fabulous liquorice spice, rounded off with a dry, ever-so-slightly metallic edge. It's not exactly what I'd call a complex beer, but what flavours are there are really quite beautiful and it's definitely the most interesting porter I've had in a long time.
This is an immensely satisfying beer to drink and one which would make the ideal companion on a winter's night. I'll be having more in the coming months.

I hope it'll be on draught in Beer Temple on Wednesday. Did I happen to mention I'm going to the opening?ReplyDelete
Yep and we want loads of pics!ReplyDelete
Been meaning to try this for a while, and now I really want to!ReplyDelete
One of my faves, glad you like. When I was a beer newbie all those years ago, I bought this in a bar simply because I had enjoyed the comparatively bland Anchor Steam so much back then. I didnt even really know what porter was, but I couldn't put into words what world was opened before me when i drank the porter. Lovely, and I still hold a candle to this day! Never had it on draught, though.ReplyDelete
I live to sicken. Say, did I mention I'm going to the opening of Beer Temple?ReplyDelete
Oh, sorry, Oblivious: I meant to say. I'm going to the opening of Beer Temple tomorrow evening.ReplyDelete

Cory Monteith's peers will get a chance to pay tribute to the late "Glee" star when they gather in September for the Emmy Awards. In an interview with Deadline Hollywood, the show's executive producer, Ken Ehrlich, said plans are taking shape for a segment that will honor Monteith, 31, who was found dead on July 13 of what a coroner determined was mixed drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol .
Ehrlich told Deadline that current plans calls for "something that reflects an homage." And, because things are in their initial stages, "what the extent of that is, or how we're going to approach it … well, it's too early to tell."
He also said there has been considerable pressure to devote time to a stand-alone segment on Monteith, which is a difficult task for the producer of a three-hour show that has to juggle handing out awards with planned bits and acceptance speeches.
"If Cory had passed in March, we've have had four months to look at this with a little more perspective," Ehrlich said. "The reason we're getting all of this discussion now is because he passed away two weeks ago. But we are going to deal with it." One of the ideas under consideration is a musical homage that would be separate from the traditional "In Memoriam" segment.
Monteith's fellow "Glee" stars gathered on the 20th Century Fox lot last week for a private memorial service and a number of those former castmates have issued statements about their love and appreciation of him over the past two weeks.
The premiere of the fifth season of the show has been pushed back to September 26 and co-creator Murphy said he plans to honor Monteith in the show's third episode .

DiscardedYKTTW Floaty MacGuffin YKTTW Discussion
|Floaty MacGuffin
An important plot device, object, power source etc that hovers in the air.Motion To Discard Motion To Discard
Sometimes, a creator wants to make an important object more noticable and important looking. Along with having it glow or spin, one of the most effective ways is having the object levitate. This object is usually a MacGuffin or other plot device, but may be a more mundane item or powerup if the trope is invoked in a videogame. The degree of floatiness varies, from being affected by gravity but recoiling from touching anything else (the ground, a protagonist's hands etc) to being completely unaffected by gravity. Often goes hand in hand with Power Glows and Everything's Better With Spinning. Examples: Note: more examples needed, this is just the start of the page. Anime and Manga: The titular Laputa from Laputa: Castle in the Sky is...Well...A floating castle. It's also pretty vital to the plot, surprise surprise. The cards from Cardcaptor Sakura often float. There is also a card that makes other things float, called (you guessed it) the Float Card. Films: The Matrix of Leadership and the Space Bridge control pillars from the Transformers films were capable of hovering. Indeed, the Space Bridge pillars actually enter orbit. Video Games: Most games featuring powerups probably have a few of them floating. The rings from the Sonic series float and spin just above the ground. In some games there are also powerup boxes or balloons in midair. In Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2, the treasure spheres float and spin, coming to rest once opened. In XIII-2, some of the artefacts float gently above the ground or holder's hands.

WANDERING FOOLS and Co.
"Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R. Tolkien
"The great secret of the successful fool - that he is no fool at all."
- Isaac Asimov, Guide to Shakespeare
"A fool is one who goes on trusting, leaving the past behind.
Adventures await her in the river of life. " - Osho
The Wandering Fools began in a simple black box in the basement of the Schapiro Theatre. It was there that we first began to explore Bertolt Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle, an epic tale of revolution, love, and morality. Not knowing where this would lead us, we collaborated and experimented together as an ensemble to tell a story about a young kitchenmaid and an unorthodox judge in a time of civil unrest. Our adventurous wandering with this play has led us to an invitation to perform at The Shanghai International Experimental Theatre Festival and share our findings with an international audience.
And why do you Fools need money?
So what's the show about?
Caucasian Chalk Circle centers around two main characters, a young kitchenmaid, Grusha and a strange county clerk turned judge, Azdak. The eternal do gooder, Grusha takes on a huge risk to save the recently beheaded governor's infant son while Azdak contemplates and philosophizes on class, corruption, judgment, and right and wrong. What do these two seemingly different people have in common? On the surface nothing, but at their core Brecht uses them both to brilliantly cast a light on the complex and sometimes strange aspects of the human spirit. Caucasian Chalk Circle takes a close look at humanity and all of its intricacies. It takes a fair look at the positive and the negative, the strengths and the weaknesses, the just and the unjust. As an ensemble we strive to tell this intricate story with truth and simplicity, oh and some rope and buckets.
You keep using the word ENSEMBLE...
To work as an ensemble is one of the most difficult and most rewarding experiences an artist can face. Together we band as one to produce a single effect. It is incredible to watch and thrilling to experience. We learn so much from each other, about each other and how to work with each other both on and off stage. How to communicate artistically and personally becomes an art form in itself. As an ensemble we have become so synced with each other that rehearsals never seemed like work, because there was such an open dialogue between actor, director, producer, designer, and dramaturg. Many times our director would propose a question or problem and as an ensemble we delightfully and sometimes painstakingly create solutions together.
We hope that you can be our solution for Shanghai and help us if not monetarily, help us spread the word and share this Indie GO GO campaign with friends, family, strangers and theatre lovers around the world.
Hailed as "a work of art" by Anne Bogart, this fresh rendering of Caucasian Chalk Circle features an ensemble of six virtuosic performers with all original music. Brecht's epic tells the story of Grusha, the peasant girl who unwittingly becomes a mother, and Azdak, the drunken fool who becomes a judge, looking deeply into the constructs of society through the art of transformation. With simple elements -- buckets, burlap, rope, and a single rock --the players transform a thousandfold, contemplating and embodying the thousand faces of humanity in times of violent turmoil. Accompanied with mandolin and concertina, the ensemble tells a stirring tale that Niky Wolcz called: "simple, deep, profound work that would have made Brecht happy...and he was rarely so."
"A fool is one who goes on trusting, leaving the past behind.
Adventures await her in the river of life. " - Osho

Issues of the Day: 100 Commentaries on Climate, Energy, the Environment, Transportation, and Public Health Policy
Issues of the Day: 100 Commentaries on Climate, Energy, the Environment, Transportation, and Public Health Policy
Read the book using our interactive flash reader.
Resources for the Future announces the publication of a collection of thought-provoking and insightful contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in key climate, environmental, and energy fields.
The series disseminates the findings of rigorous research on the costs, benefits, and appropriate reform of a wide range of public policies. Among topics covered are air pollution, hazardous waste, voluntary environmental programs, domestic and global climate policy design, fishery management, water quality, endangered species, forest fires, oil security, solar power, road and airport congestion, fuel taxes and fuel economy standards, alternative fuel vehicles, health and longevity, smoking, malaria, tuberculosis, and developing country issues.
Here is an easy way to quickly develop an informed perspective on today's most pressing concerns . Exceptional in its breadth, accessibility, and expertise, Issues of the Day is a valuable supplement for undergraduate- and graduate-level course reading and a reference guide for stakeholders in business, legislators, and other professionals.
This book is available as a free download on this page and the printed paperback version can be purchased on the Earthscan website.
Praise for Issues of the Day
"What a great idea! Get 100 individuals, or teams, to produce brief, 2-page analyses of urgent policy issues--a non-technical encyclopedia of current issues in climate, energy, ecology, and related topics. My suggestion: read one each day, and think about it all day. In a hundred days, you'll be hugely enriched. Only RFF could do this."
- Thomas C. Schelling, University of Maryland, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics
"This unique book offers an impressive set of brief, understandable, and authoritative analyses of 100 issues in the important policy areas on which recent RFF research has focused. It belongs on the bookshelf of everyone who has ever encountered an unfamiliar issue in this broad domain and wondered, 'What is the best thinking on this?' It is a terrific source of readings for courses dealing with public policy."
- Richard Schmalensee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"The short essays in this volume provide a treasure trove of interesting analyses of a variety of important economic policy issues. Instructors in economics and public policy courses will particularly value the clear, sensible, and student-friendly fashion in which microeconomic tools are employed."
- Harvey S. Rosen, Princeton University
"In this refreshingly different approach to environmental policy, we hear from a very wide variety of the world's environmental economists and policy researchers, with short and pointed opinion pieces. This is great reading and should be valuable for anyone who wishes to appreciate the nuances of solving many of today's pressing environmental problems."
- Charles D. Kolstad, University of California, Santa Barbara

Since I don't have cheap internet on my phone (not until I have a phone worth getting a better plan) I looked into the alternate way to enter. Here it is: To enter the sweepstakes without using a mobile device, you may also enter by sending an e-mail from a PC to firstname.lastname@example.com from a Windows Live Hotmail account with "Go Zune" in the subject line.

Talking about that that the Mexican government calls "The war against narcotraffic" … i have been thinking that its a very dangerous language… after all, the drug traffickers are also Mexican, isnt!? What are they doing with?! Starting a civil war!?
They are inviting us to start a fight: the "good ones" against "the bad people"
I don't want to be misunderstood: as a Mexican citizen I am absolutely worried about this violence around us.
But I am also worried about the absence of good questions about "what exactly it is happening to our society".
It is true: the argument that says that poverty it is the only explanation behind drug trafficking, it is maybe so simplistic… however, we can't deny that there is something real in that affirmation.
But there are something else … it must be something else to explain the actual situation in Mexico… and that explanation is the one that I am missing in the press news… I miss good questions about this worrying issue, questions like:
Who are the thousands and thousands of little drug traffickers that are working for "the big bosses"!? Why they do accept the risk, it is only money that are they looking for!? How starts the recruitment?! How old they are!? Why are they so (but so) violent?! What is behind the violence!? Is now the Mexican government doing something else to make this kind of research in a deeply way, to have a good profile of them!?
Maybe, if we start to try to understand what kind of motivations are behind this kind of behavior we could start to understand what is happening as society, not only talking about the illegal drug trafficking, but in general… maybe we need to go forward and search not only in present, but in our past, to try to explain, when, how, why we started this "point of no return" of violence.
I am not trying to justify anyone… I just would love to understand what happen in somebody to accept the violence as a way of life… if we (some day) understand this "special moment", this reality behind the simple violence, maybe we could start to make some steps toward the real solution… the solution "inside" people and not only "outside, fighting with guns and making grow up the violence among Mexican people" …
Because … as I said before… at the end of the day: we are all living in the same country… bad or good, we are all Mexicans… that's why we have (we most) start then to make us good questions, and we have to stop to believe that we have all the answers that the government are giving us
Here I am attaching a long essay that I wrote about the Mexican violence. This document was made 3 years ago, however, yet its sadly actual, and even it is "innocent" in the conclusions, because things are going even worse now that before, in the time when I wrote it.
I share your frustration with how such pervasive problems get so simplified by politics and the media! What is in fact an epidemic issue has been pared down to an "us and them" problem, something "inevitable." Looking at the motives, the behaviors, the histories and the PEOPLE themselves is the only way to truly understand and solve any problem. This drug war clearly has roots that spread far and wide - beyond Mexico's borders - and it falls upon all of us, as global citizens, to question how such crises are allowed to escalate to such heights, and to persist in our investigations until a solution is found.
Thank you for voicing these provocative questions, and for encouraging others to take on their own inquiries! This is what citizen journalism is all about, and you are certainly a pioneering voice in the field!
In partnership,

New regulations bring in tougher controls on bailiffs when seizing goods
By Cynyr Rhys
New regulations came into force on 6 April 2014 that now govern the procedure that bailiffs (now known as enforcement agents) must follow when taking control of, and selling, goods to recover a debt — for example former tenancy arrears. Eviction procedures when enforcing warrants of possession are unchanged.
The new regulations implement recommendations following a government consultation on bailiffs, conducted in 2012. They are part of a wider package of reforms, contained within the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, intended to simplify and clarify bailiff enforcement and clamp down on unfair practices by some bailiffs.
The aim of the new regulations is to bring conformity and clarity to the various forms of enforcement, be it High Court or County Court judgments, council tax, parking fines or commercial rent arrears…

Greetings everyone. First post, and new to concealed carry. I am looking for a holster to fit my Kimber crimson ultra carry II and I am a bit lost. There seems to be a sea of options, and for some reason every website looks like it was made in 2001 with angelfire. I currently have a Sticky holster, but didn't really feel comfortable with it while I was at work. I am a woodworker, bending over and moving around quite a bit. I would prefer to carry IWB on my back, as I carry my primary life saver (my tape measure) on my side. Any advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am 5'10", 185lbs and athletic build if that makes a difference. Thank you.

You could try this holster in the between the 4&5 o clock position.

Just don't wear any gun directly behind the spine. Spinal damage is a real concern if you were to fall, especially in an active job like you have (or a confrontation).
As a fellow professional woodworker I can relate.
I carry a Walther PPQ

I carry at about 3:00 - 3:30 and my tape measure gets hooked on my pocket.
I have no issues with bending or moving around while carrying. The holster is very comfortable and does not get in the way.
One of the great things about the MaxTuck is the kydex can be changed out for under $20 if you ever change your carry gun.

thanks the replies and tips everyone. right now the cover six is the most appealing to me. the price is right and I like the versatility of being able to ewitch from IWB to OWB depending on my preference.
My EDC is an Ultra Carry II. I have oodles of holsters depending on the way I dress or need for the day. The ones I use the most are:

BTW ... Welcome to the forums
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
I used to carry the same pistol in a Brommeland Max-Con V. I would forget the small-of-back carry for several reasons, and go with a 3:00-4:00 position.
"A hyphenated American is not an American at all.
Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance."

yeah with some adjusting today the 4:00 position seems to be the sweet spot for me.
I just ordered a bianchi model 120 covert option for my ultra carry 2.
I think guns are like insurance. I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Physical activity increases the amount of energy (calories) you burn. Most weight-loss programs incorporate an exercise program—such as jogging or biking. And you can also use more energy by changing some of your routine activities, such as washing your car yourself instead of going to a car wash. Choosing social activities that increase activity, such as joining a gardening club or dancing, also increases the calories you burn.
Strength training, which builds muscle, is also an important part of weight-loss programs. Having more muscle will help you burn more calories throughout the day. Lifting weights in a supervised program is one way to do this. Other ways to improve your strength may involve slight changes to some daily activities. Check with your doctor about strength training that is right for you.
Always have a medical evaluation before starting any new physical activity. If you have chest pain or dizziness during any physical activity, stop and call your doctor.
If you have not exercised much in the past, your doctor might first recommend a small amount of daily aerobic activity. For weight loss, though, experts advise doing moderate activity for at least 5 hours a week.footnote 1 Try for 60 to 90 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. It's fine to be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week. And you can choose to do one or both types of activity: exercise programs and/or aerobic activities.
Aerobic exercise is used in weight-loss programs. It burns calories and increases the amount of oxygen that is delivered to your muscles. Any activity that raises your heart rate and keeps it up for an extended period of time will improve your aerobic conditioning. You can exercise at one time or throughout the day, whichever is most convenient. For example, you could walk for 10 minutes at one time and garden for 20 minutes later on, which would give you 30 minutes of activity for the day.
Examples of aerobic exercise include:
These routine activities can help you burn calories:
You can also "sneak" in activity throughout your day.
When you choose an exercise program or physical activity, pick something you like. Don't pick what looks easiest, what your friends do, or what the fad is. If you enjoy your activity, it will be easier to do and you will be more likely to stay with it. Also think about whether you would rather have convenience or companionship while being physically active. Some people want something they can do anytime with little hassle. Examples include a treadmill in the home, going for a walk in the neighborhood, or gardening. Others might prefer companionship, which means scheduling times with others. Very often when you share your activity with someone, you keep each other on schedule.
People who are overweight or obese often have other health problems and may be afraid or find it difficult to exercise. These people can still exercise safely.
For more information on physical activity and fitness, see the topic Fitness.

Mayor John Cranley could dismantle a deal that would produce a grocery store, 300 luxury apartments and a new parking garage downtown. Cranley says he doesn't want millions put toward the deal, even though the developer involved plans to invest another $60 million. Councilman Chris Seelbach says the deal isn't dead just because of the mayor's opposition, and City Council could act to bypass the mayor, just like the legislative body did with the streetcar project and responsible bidder. To Seelbach, the deal is necessary to bring much-needed residential space and an accessible grocery store downtown.
Cincinnati officials and startup executives will try to bring Google Fiber, which provides Internet speeds 100 times faster than normal broadband, to Cincinnati. Google plans to hold a national competition to see which cities are most deserving of its fiber services. "Over the last several years, Cincinnati's innovation ecosystem has made tremendous strides," Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld said in a statement. "We're increasingly becoming a magnet for talented entrepreneurs across the country who want to come here to bring their big ideas to life. We need to ensure that we have the modern technological infrastructure to make Cincinnati nationally competitive."
Cincinnati's operating budget gap for fiscal 2015 now stands at $22 million, up from an earlier forecast of $18.5 million, largely because of extra spending on police pushed by Cranley and a majority of City Council. The city must balance its operating budget each year, which means the large gap will likely lead to layoffs and service cuts.
Commentary: "Budget Promises Spur Fears of Cuts."
Cranley won't re-appoint the chair of Cincinnati's Board of Health. When asked why, Chairwoman Joyce Kinley told City Council's Budget and Finance Committee that Cranley told her "he had to fulfill a campaign promise."

About 1 in 20 Cincinnatians, many of them in the wealthiest neighborhoods, pay less in taxes because their home renovations and constructions are subsidized by a local tax program. While the program benefits the wealthy, it also hits Cincinnati Public Schools and other local services through lost revenue. The tax abatement program aims to keep and attract residents and businesses by lowering the costs of moving and living in Cincinnati. Anastasia Mileham, spokeswoman for 3CDC, says the tax abatements helped revitalize Over-the-Rhine, for example. Others say the government is picking winners and losers and the abatement qualifications should be narrowed.
With hotel room bookings back to pre-recession levels, Source Cincinnati aims to sell Cincinnati's offerings in arts, health care, entrepreneurism and anything else to attract new businesses and residents. The Cincinnati USA Convention and Visitors Bureau established the organization to reach out to national journalists and continue the local economic momentum built up in the past few years. "Successful cities are those that have good reputations," Julie Calvert, interim executive director at Source Cincinnati, told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "Without reputation it's difficult to get businesses to expand or relocate or get more conventions or draw young diverse talent to work for companies based here."
The harsh winter weather this year pushed Cincinnati's budget $5 million over, with nearly $3 million spent on salt, sand and chemicals alone. . The rest of the costs come through increased snow plowing shifts and other expenses to try to keep the roads clean. The extra costs just compound the city's structurally imbalanced budget problems. The need for more road salt also comes despite Councilman Charlie Winburn's attempts to undermine the city's plans to stockpile and buy salt when it's cheap.
Mayor John Cranley says the success of The Incline Public House in East Price Hill, which he helped develop, speaks to the pent-up demand for similar local businesses in neglected Cincinnati neighborhoods.

Flaherty & Collins, the developer that wants to tear down a garage as part of its downtown grocery and apartment tower project, offered to pay for a tenant's move to keep the deal moving forward. The tenant, Paragon Salon, recently announced its intent to sue the city after Mayor John Cranley's refusal to pay for the salon business's move left the development project and Paragon in a limbo of uncertainty. With Flaherty & Collins' offer, the development deal should be able to advance without extra costs to the city.
But Cranley says he still wants 3CDC to review the downtown development project to set the best path forward.
Federal money will help Cincinnati keep and hire more
firefighters. The Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response
(SAFER) grant provides nearly $8.1 million — about 2 percent of the
city's $370 million operating budget — to pay the salaries and benefits
of 50 firefighters for two years. Afterward, the city will need to pick
up the costs, which could worsen an operating budget gap that currently
sits at $22 million for fiscal 2015. The move would increase the
Cincinnati Fire Department's staffing levels from 841 to 879 and help prevent brownouts, according to the firefighting agency.
The Cincinnati Board of Health defied Mayor Cranley by
unilaterally pursuing a $1.3 million grant that will provide
preventative and primary care services to underserved populations. Rocky
Merz, spokesperson for the board, says the grant application complies
with guidance from the city's top lawyer. Cranley opposes the grant because the extra services it enables could push up costs for the city down the line.

The Anna Louise Inn and Western & Southern will meet again in court in April to begin the next chapter of the ongoing zoning dispute between the longtime neighbors.
In a Feb. 8 ruling, the Ohio First District Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court that Cincinnati Union Bethel, which owns the Inn, filed an incomplete permit application. The ruling asks CUB to resubmit the funding requests to the city of Cincinnati — except this time CUB will have to include details about previously omitted parts of the Anna Louise Inn and the Off the Streets program.
But Tim Burke, attorney for CUB, says CUB already carried out the court's requirements. After Judge Norbert Nadel ruled May 4 that the Inn didn't properly fill out its original application, CUB started a second chain of applications to obtain a conditional use permit to meet Nadel's zoning specifications. The new applications have been approved by Cincinnati's Historic Conservation Board and the Cincinnati Zoning Board of Appeals, but Western & Southern is appealing those rulings as well.
Last week's appeals court ruling sent the case back down to the lower court on a legal technicality. With the ruling, all the Anna Louise Inn cases, including the separate chain of zoning appeals, are essentially consolidated to Nadel.
The dispute began in 2010, when Western & Southern sued the Anna Louise Inn over zoning issues to block $13 million in city- and state-distributed federal loans to renovate the building. Western & Southern declined an opportunity to purchase the building in 2009, but now seems interested in turning it into a luxury hotel.
The Anna Louise Inn is a 103-year-old building that provides shelter to low-income women. Its Off the Streets program helps women involved in prostitution turn their lives around.

A City Council committee wants Cincinnati's leadership to investigate whether workers in a Clifton Heights development project are being paid what they're supposed to.
The Strategic Growth Committee on Wednesday passed a motion asking the city administration to report back on wage payments to workers on the U Square development. The project includes a parking garage as well as residential and commercial units.
Under Ohio law, workers on projects funded by cities must be paid a prevailing wage, which is equivalent to the wage earned by a union worker on a similar project.
The city only has money invested in the garage, and the state of Ohio recently ruled that workers on other parts don't have to be paid prevailing wage.
Council members Wendell Young, Cecil Thomas and Laure Quinlivan produced a video in which they interviewed carpenters who said they were being paid less than the prevailing wage.
At issue is a letter from developer Towne Properties that says the company will pay all workers prevailing wage anyway. Arn Bortz with Towne Properties said his company cuts a check to subcontractors respecting that agreement, so if workers aren't being paid the proper amount it's their fault.
City Solicitor John Curp told members of the Strategic Growth Committee that under city and state law, the subcontractors are not required to pay workers a prevailing wage on parts of the project that are not getting public funding. He said the letter from the developer does not hold the weight as a legal contract.
Young, Thomas, Quinlivan and Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld all expressed the need to overhaul the way the city enters into development contracts to better protect workers.
However, City Manager Milton Dohoney hinted that overzealous requirements for high wages could chase off some development projects.
He said that a project like U Square is tied to the Clifton location because of its proximity to the University of Cincinnati, but the city can't be too restrictive when it comes to businesses that could expand elsewhere.
Dohoney said the city also doesn't currently have the manpower to do the kind of aggressive enforcement that the council members were asking for.
Councilman Young countered that he would like to see the city be as aggressive with enforcement as they are with making economic development deals.
"We want to change the rules of the game to make sure everyone is treated equal," Young said.

Call for 2016 Gathering Proposals
The International Society of Glass Beadmakers will hold its annual conference, Gathering XXIV in New Orleans, Louisiana, July 20 - July 24, 2016.
New Orleans' old world roots have created a strong foundation and long-standing appreciation for the arts. Today the scene thrives via countless galleries, performance spaces and museums. But perhaps what sets the cultural institutions apart from those of other cities is their ability to embody the joie de vivre (joy of life) so prevalent in New Orleans. The city's vibrant arts scene, unique culture and architecture, love of food, and incredible music creates non-traditional experiences you can't find anywhere else!
The focus for Gathering XXIV is Breaking Tradition which echoes the revision of our mission statement and supports our extended creative community outreach. It invites both a well-rounded, broad range of artistic style, and multi-media interpretation for workshops and presentations.
ISGB is seeking instructors and presenters for the conference who will bring strong, creative content to educate and inspire flameworkers by sharing ideas and knowledge. We encourage you to apply and help support our mission to preserve the rich and diverse traditions of the art of glassworking techniques. Workshop and presentation proposals are not limited to glass, but may be complementary mediums, as well as topics of professional development and business education among artists and craftspeople.
Two day, one day, and half-day workshops, as well as three hour mini sessions, will be considered. Presentations are 50 minutes long and must be brand new content.

We continue to track another strong cold front toward the bluegrass state. This front will arrive Wednesday night with gusty winds and showers.
Ahead of the front... temps will warm into the upper 60s and may flirt with 70 on Wednesday. Winds will be very gusty from the southwest. Showers arrive by the end of the day from west to east. That will carry us into Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
Much colder air blows into town with readings in the upper 30s and low 40s by Thursday morning. Highs Thursday and Friday will struggle to get out of the upper 40s.
A seasonal weekend appears to be in the making.
