Very pretty, cute brunnette, very perky tits, sweet disposition.just waiting to be taken any way you can. I'd love to pull one of those ties on her panties, let it pop off. Pretty cunt looking to be felt, licked, eaten, filled and fucked. Damn, she's ready for action. Love to feel that hot, wet tongue sliding under my cock head. Suck me, baby.
holy fuck
This is one pretty, sexy girl. And such a nice, bubbly personality. The only thing more I would've like to have seen right off the bat was for the first guy to shoot a big load right in her motuh after a few well-placed groans and her slurping it all and letting it ooze and drip out of her lips. Yeah! And the, while she's getting properly fucked she can talk about how much she liked slurping it around in her motuh and sucking it down. REAL sex, y'know? Then fuck her real good. And then do it ALL again. Lick, suck, ooze, swallow and fuck...A good 15 minutes of that would be a great video

I'll let you know what I think of the hack when I get further into it!
EDIT: Feels too much exactly like Red. If you want more people to be interested in this hack, you need to change maps/text/story.
Changing wild Pokémon/trainer parties won't be enough to get me to play a hack past Brock.
Hey. . I don't see any point in changing the maps or the storyline of the game because The only reason I made this hack is to make the game much harder. Anyway thanks for the feedback.My next hack will probably be much better than this

Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is set in the 1950s, which was a crucial period in the development of the Australian identity. It was a time of post-war reconstruction and immigration, of materialism, a wool boom, of suburban comfort and conservatism- the first decade since early in the century in which the ordinary Australian had not been hounded by war, depression and drought.
The refinements of life then began to surface, it is in this decade that Ray Lawler, Joan Sutherland and many more turned up.
A self-assertion was in the air, uncertainly expressed in a yearning to mix on terms of equality with those older civilizations thousands of servicemen had glimpsed during the war and from which a daily-increasing number of "new Australians" had come.
It was a worthy desire for self-improvement; but the methods first employed to achieve it were more like off-the-peg shopping expeditions than long-term investment in the natural resources.
This desire for self-improvement is expressed in Summer of the Seventeenth doll through Roo and Dowd. Roo being the older bloke with hopes of self-improvement, but Dowd being "new" on the job, younger and more capable.
This has an effect on Roo as it would on any Australian man back in the 1950s, where all the men are out struggling to get along with a hard laboring job. It was a tough time, and man's worst nightmare was failure, or the shame of growing old and becoming incapable of fulfilling previous duties/activities.
Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is a play about the deprivation of feeling and understanding deriving from the long, unbeaten struggle for survival in the sun; and how their long felt admiration for youthful prowess has left them unequipped to fulfill their age, or...

A few weeks ago, the government finally stepped in to rectify this advertising imbalance. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published new guidelines on food marketing to children that are designed to reign in the ever-expanding universe of advertisements, advertisement-focused games, text messages, Facebook pages…the list goes on and on.
THE DETAILS: Though the new guidelines are voluntary, it's likely that food companies are going to comply. "If companies don't agree to do this voluntarily after they've had some time to incorporate the changes, there will probably be more support for the government to step in and make them mandatory," says Jennifer Harris, director of marketing initiatives at the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, which studies food marketing.
The FTC is proposing fairly basic principles. The commission's guidelines—which give companies five to 10 years to comply—are that any foods marketed to children between the ages of 2 and 17 "make a meaningful contribution to a healthful diet" and "contain limited amounts of nutrients that have a negative impact on health or weight (saturated fat, trans fat, added sugars, and sodium)." In order to meet the first criteria, foods that are marketed to this particular age group have to contain food from at least one of the following categories: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk products, fish, extra lean meat or poultry, eggs, nuts or seeds, and beans. And they have to meet certain nutritional criteria: less than 15 percent calories from saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, no more than 13 grams of added sugars, and no more than 210 milligrams of sodium per serving.
The guidelines also cover virtually every venue that companies have been come to dominate—20 categories of advertising, marketing, and promotional activities that include not just TV and print advertising, but also social media, online games that serve as advertisements, text messages, product placement in movies and video games, and a variety of other electronic marketing gimmicks that have cropped up lately.
WHAT IT MEANS: The unusually long time frame the companies have been given has drawn the most ire from the public health community. And Harris says that a more ideal time frame would have been something like three years, rather than five. "It's not like this is a new concept to food marketers," she says. "They've heard the concerns about the products they're marketing to children, and they've said that they're improving them."
Aside from that, however, she's encouraged by what the FTC is doing. "The guidelines are really strong and a great step in the right direction," she says. "They really address the major issues that current self-regulation doesn't." She's referring to the industry's current food marketing initiative, the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, which was launched in 2005 and currently has 17 companies (among them, General Mills, McDonald's, and Coca Cola) pledging to improve food marketing for "better for you" foods. "These companies have developed their own advertising criteria," she says, "and most of them are basically just tweaking their current product lines to make them slightly lower in fat or lower in sugar." One study from the University of Arizona found that 68.5 percent of marketing to children from these companies was for their least nutritious products. The FTC guidelines, she says, spell out specific nutritional criteria that need to be met so companies can't hide behind vague "better for you" descriptions.
She's also encouraged by the comprehensive nature of media outlets covered by the guidelines. Although television still dominates in food advertising, the Internet and other forms of electronic media are increasingly influential, particularly among preteens and teenagers. In a recent report on fast food advertising from the Rudd Center, the researchers found that McDonald's now has 13 different websites for children and teenagers. Eight of the 12 fast-food chains analyzed had created mobile phone apps accessible by teenagers, and nearly all fast-food chains have pages on Facebook and other social media sites. "The [FTC] restrictions on social media are going to be huge," she says. "It's being used to really push products to people who have expressed an interest in them, so there's lots of couponing, special offers, deals, really designed to incentivize people to purchase a product right away." In that way, she says, the ads are more powerful than a simple 30-second TV commercial. "The other part of it is the viral features," she says. "The fact that kids can let their friends know that they like Coke and that they like Burger King really taps into that age group's need for peer acceptance and need for fitting in. That's the one thing we find especially disturbing about social media."
To protect your kids from this onslaught of food marketing, try this:
• Make your TV time non-commercial. No children should be watching more than two hours of television a day, but when they are watching TV, stick with PBS (or other forms of non-commercial programming) and videos. "There was one great study that showed that the relationship between TV viewing and obesity only occurs when the TV viewing is commercial TV," Harris says. "It supports the claims that the TV commercials are leading to obesity." Rent videos or DVDs from the library, and if there's a particular TV series your children like, rent it by the season (commercial free) through Netflix.
• Keep children's bedrooms screen free. It's much more difficult to monitor what your children are doing online—and any advertisements they're getting sucked into—when both they and their computers are locked up in the bedrooms, Harris says. Same goes for television. "Also, kids who have electronic media in the bedroom are more likely to be overweight," she adds. "There are lots of negatives."
• Monitor food marketing in your schools and community. It's hard to convince your children that soda is bad when there's a soda machine at school. "Anything sold in schools is, in a way, an endorsement of that product," Harris says. "If it's sold at schools, kids don't think it's that bad." Likewise, it can be hard to argue that a local fast-food joint is unhealthy if that same fast-food joint is sponsoring your kids' soccer team. Keep an eye out for these sorts of unexpected marketing gimmicks, Harris adds. Talk to other parents, or join your school's PTA so you can keep the influence of food marketers to a minimum.

Blind spot fear over bus route (From This Is Wiltshire)
Blind spot fear over bus route
5:30am Thursday 10th July 2014 in By Mike Benke, @Michael_Benke
CONCERNS have been raised about the roads opposite the new University Technical College and the potential risk to students and residents.
The new college is set to open in September and will see several hundred students begin, with a potential capacity of 600 in a few years time.
It will be located off Bristol Street and the entrance is on a double bend with Church Place also joining nearby, creating a triple blind spot.
With the recent announcement that buses will be running in both directions, heritage group Swindon Civic Voice has said the road is not suitable and there is a high level of risk.
Chairwoman Martha Parry has said a far better option is for the buses to travel along Park Lane and Faringdon Road to reduce any danger and protect the area's heritage.
She said: "The UTC provision is to be welcomed as it re-establishes a form of education which historically was highly successful in Swindon.
"At the bends it is not possible to see around the corner so we are relying on the bus drivers to slow down.
"There are only plans for four disabled car parking spaces so it is likely we will see a high number of pedestrians using this entrance at the beginning or or end of each day.
"When the buses are going in each direction there is on average one a minute so they are going to have to back up which will surely reduce punctuality."
The Civic Voice has long argued the Village Centre is not suitable for buses and believes this is yet another reason why the routes should be moved.
Martha said: "Buses have been travelling along Faringdon Road now for a number of months and there has been no public outcry.
"When part of Bristol Street was shut for road repairs, because it was not built for buses, the world did not end. We are told there are going to be measures carried out so slow the buses down but this is just mitigating for the problem rather than fixing it."
A number of measures are being taken to make the area safer for the students using the UTC.
A council spokesman said: "The traffic calming work is required as part of the planning permission for the UTC. Proposals have been put together to improve the pedestrian access at the UTC entrance on Bristol Street and to put in a speed table to enable a 20mph speed limit to be introduced should it be deemed necessary – speed surveys have shown that speeds are sufficiently low at present.
"Work is expected to start towards the end of September and neighbouring properties will receive notification of the exact dates and nature of the works together with any possible temporary diversions."
Paul Jenkins, managing director of Thamesdown Transport, said: "Safety on the roads around the UTC is a priority for us and we are working with the UTC, and the other bus providers who operate in the town, to ensure that potential risks are minimised.
"We are each undertaking a risk assessment of the location, which will identify measures that need to be in place in time for the UTC opening later this year and these will be shared between all parties involved. It will include guidance to our drivers about a suitable speed when passing the UTC entrance."
Angela Barker-Dench, the Principal of the UTC said: "We have met with Civic Voice and we are working together with all concerned to support the local community."

A problem will occur with all the drivers ignoring the no entry signs and speeding around the corner, often cutting the corner with no regard for any one else.

I'll make the generalisation that people who go to colleges are fairly intelligent. So I'd imagine that they wouldn't cross the road on a blind turn
You have obviously never been along Queens Drive ,when the "highly intelligent" students at New College behave like lemmings crossing the road , refusing to use the signals as a guide to safety.

swindondad wrote:The problem is that the students probably won't show 'good judgement'. I regularly use North Star Avenue where the students cross from the bus stops to the College and the Oasis. It's an absolute nightmare with students running out from in front and behind the buses, particularly in September and October when there's a new intake. I actually called the council to see if there wasn't anything that could be done (i.e. a proper crossing) but was told that although they're aware that there's a problem, there haven't been enough 'serious' incidents to warrant anything being done. It's just a matter of time before someone gets killed there and I'd imagine that the roads near the UTC will be just the same.
All that is needed is for existing traffic rules to be enforced and for pedestrians (Students) to use good judgment when crossing the road (not to much to hope for surely it is not a primary school after all.

The way that the number 1/1A/8/9/13/14 run now becuase most students will get off at emily sq or dean street and walk the five minute walk. The road is not that wide for buses to go down in both directions. I think they should keep how it is. A bus stop just out in front of the utc will be a good idea, for the students. The use of traffic lights in that area and in North Star avenue. Because it's hard to cross the road in swindon due to the lack of infrastructure in swindon.

Sirius XM NBA: Chris Mullin on Steph Curry: "To me it is not even close he is the best shooter we have seen" #Warriors #DubNation bit.ly/24g8Sl7
Chris Mullin Rumors
If NBA teams were smarter, they'd sell three kinds of tickets to Warriors games: one for the game, one for Curry's pre-game show and one for both. Oh, the money that could be made. Kerr and Mullin, who both spent time playing and traveling with Michael Jordan, said the nation's infatuation with Curry is getting to that place where comparisons are warranted. "I was around Michael during the summer of '92," Mullin said. "So yeah, I think it's at that level."
Mullin, one of the greatest shooters in Warriors history and now the St. John's head coach, raved about Stephen Curry after he and his players got an up-close look at the reigning MVP. "One hundred percent the best shooter all-time," Mullin said of Curry. "No question. It's beautiful. First of all, he's the best shooter of all-time, but he's much more than that. He commands so much attention. A lot of times, other guys are getting triple-doubles because of the attention he gets. He'll get the hockey assists just because they'll double him so early. It might be two passes later, but it really started with him.
Said Mullin: "The last two or three seasons he's put together are historical, and now this year he's having a historic season. The numbers are staggering. I've seen some comparisons on TV, and they're identical to Michael's individual numbers."
Ohm Youngmisuk: Depending on how much influence Yormark will have, Cal will be pushed. Also told C.Mullin could be a name 2 consider

What does a neuroscientist eat for breakfast?
Filed under: Design and Society, Recovery
In its quest for a more 'circular economy', the RSA Great Recovery is focusing on the links between design, materials and waste. Last week, I visited the Science Museum's new installation on rubbish.
The bowels of the Science Museum are perhaps an appropriate space for an exhibition about waste. You can smell it even before you reach the entrance to the Rubbish Collection. The odour has been somewhat deodorised for public consumption, but the unmistakeable whiff of putrefying food, stale coffee and plasticisers reaches into the stairwell above.
Needless to say it is this 'pong' that seems to prevent some visitors from venturing down into the strip-lit atrium, where volunteers in boiler suits and gloves are tipping bags of rubbish onto a row of white tables.
The Rubbish Collection is a project by artist Joshua Sofaer which hopes to change people's attitudes towards waste by bringing them into close proximity with it. Once an object is brought into a museum, says Sofaer, it is usually imbued with a certain value and afforded a kind of reverence. Not so once it turns to waste, and he is on a mission to involve the public in documenting and examining the museum's discards over a period of 30 days. Read more
Where does all this stuff come from? (food, phones, meat and tea)
Filed under: Social Brain
Over the last few days I have noticed several people daring to think about – and this really is rather daring – where all their stuff comes from.
It started with food in general, in the context of an appearance on the Today Programme. My basic argument was that our sense of what is wasteful depends on our perception of scarcity, and we don't experience scarcity, mostly because we are so far removed from the provenance of the things we rely on: food, water and energy. I am beginning to think that the core problem is that such things are kept relatively cheap only because we don't factor in their true environmental, social and health costs, and an excellent editorial in Sunday's Observer: "There's a price to be paid for our cheap food" seemed to share this view.
Image via www.gulawweekly.org
Then I noticed a tweet from Public Understanding of Science supremo Alice Bell this morning: "Those last two tweets posted from my phone. Which is amazing. But I want to know more about the materials, people & injustices that made it." She probably already knows this story about phone materials, but it is pretty shocking. A line from the feature captures the core problem- there is a huge demand for tin due to our insatiable appetite for new phones, but the kinds of tin we need are not easy to extract, and cause a great deal of harm along the way: "Tin mining is a lucrative but destructive trade that has scarred the island's landscape, bulldozed its farms and forests, killed off its fish stocks and coral reefs, and dented tourism to its pretty palm-lined beaches."
(Image via thehindu.com)
On the same Twitter stream there was a report about Tea plantations being threatened by Climate Change. My colleague Dr Emma Lindley has a charming biographical line "Manchester-based drinker of Yorkshire tea" and I'm partial to Yorkshire tea myself, but you don't need to pause for long to realise that Yorkshire tea is not actually grown in, y'know, Yorkshire. It seems there is now a consortium of tea companies "Tea 2030″ supported by Forum for the Future who are realising that some of the places most likely to be impacted by climate disruption (by the way, I think that's a much better term than 'climate change' HT Ian Christie). If the idea of Polar bears swimming in search of ice until they drown didn't get your attention, perhaps waking up without access to a good and affordable cuppa might do it.

Finally(for now at least) I remembered the absolutely wonderful RSA event "Eating Animals" featuring Jonathan Safran Foer. I strongly urge you to listen to the full audio podcast which includes his considered answers to some tough audience questions. I loved this talk because I don't think people should wear the term 'vegetarian' as some sort of self-righteous badge of honour, and then cross-examine people for their consitency of their practices (milk? eggs? leather?). I fully agree with Jonathan's point that making it a moral binary, an either-or, just doesn't help. People are attached to meat for lots of reasons, not just taste but various valued cultural and spiritual practices that involve it.
(Image via guardian.co.uk)
The key is first to recognise the harm involved in the process, and to take responsibility for your actions with as much awareness as you can. And that's the reason the talk was so brilliant. The main take-home point for me was his simple observation that the meat industry relies on ignorance about food production and guards it very carefully. The corollary (note to self: at some point it's worth digging out the exact quotation) is that Jonathan says something like "It only goes in one direction. The more you know about where it comes from, the less you want to eat it."
The same point applies to ethical behaviour and sustainability more broadly- much of it is about who owns and protects information. More about that on Friday.
Why do we waste so much food?
Filed under: Social Brain
While minding my own business yesterday I received an unexpected call asking me to appear on The Today Programme to discuss the psychological underpinnings of why we waste so much food. They chose me with my Social Brain hat on, because they wanted to explore wider issues relating to people acting against their own self-interest and the nature of irrationality.
This is my fourth time on the show, and in my experience, the off air conversation with the producer- who is basically checking you out- is invariably much deeper and longer than the conversation with the presenter. When the programme says there will be five minutes, that usually means 1 minute for the presenter, 2 for the other guest(in this case, Angie Hobbs) and 2 minutes to say what you can about the subject, in the context of the questions and answers already given.
(image via ecofoodrecycling.co.uk)
The snippet is here, at about 8.55am, squeezed into the end of the show, and you can judge for yourself whether they were minutes well spent (or indeed whether such an important discussion might have been more worthy of minutes than some of the items earlier in the show).
My main point was that our perception of waste is relative to our experience of scarcity, and for most of us, things like water, food and energy do not feel scarce, even though, taken globally, they are. In so far as there is a solution, it may lie in simulating the experience of scarcity. I do this incidentally once a year when I visit my in-laws in India, where I learn to live with water shortages and power cuts, even in a relatively developed and affluent part of one of their main cities, Bangalore.
My main point was that our perception of waste is relative to our experience of scarcity
Now that I have a little more time than I did on air, here are some of the things that weren't mentioned.
- The report itself, by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers: Global Food: Waste Not, Want not is excellent and well worth a read.
- The problem is global, multifaceted and systemic. It's not just about the behaviour of people in the developed world, or indeed supermarket offers. The problem includes regulation, the storage and transport of food, irregular harvests, and much else besides.
- The headlines said we waste half our food, but that's a bit overblown. In the report they say the estimate is that we waste between 30-50% of our food.
- When Evan Davis told his bear story, I wish I had said: "Humans are animals, but we are not bears, and unlike bears we have a moral responsibility towards the rest of our species and the planet as a whole."
Spending money on sales is still spending, not saving.
- There are lots of behavioural/psychological issues that are important, including:
- Spending money on sales is still spending, not saving.
- Anticipated regret- the tendency to do something now in case we regret not having had done it at a future point – is relevant in three ways; 1) We want to stockpile food in case we run out 2)We want to buy the sale items in case we don't get another such offer 3)We trust the sell-buy date more than our own senses.
- Is there a place for smaller shopping trolleys? Given the evidence that we tend to eat and buy less/more depending on the size of the recepticle, it seems intuitive that we might buy and waste less if we had smaller spaces to fill.
- There are many more dimensions to this problem, and an excellent overview, including a detailed breakdown of the reasons we waste food can be found (in a table!) here:
- A small but particularly painful part of the problem is that we don't seem to know what to do with our food items, or our leftovers so…
- Should we placed renewed educational emphasis on home economics?
- No?
- Sounds absurd given the scale of the challenge?
- Then what should we do?
- Where should we start?
Showing some civic heart
Filed under: Fellowship
Here in the Fellowship department we are very keen to forge partnerships with organisations that share similar values to our own, the overall idea being that through mutual collaboration we can make a much bigger impact. Recently, our thinking has turned to how we can open up the expertise within our network of Fellows to a younger audience.
Since the summer we have been working with an organisation called Student Hubs to develop a partnership which will bring together the collective expertise, enthusiasm and ideas of RSA Fellows and Student Hubs participants. Working across the UK, Student Hubs seeks to transform student involvement in social action. They act as a catalyst, empowering students to become active members of their community by promoting social action, social entrepreneurship and citizenship.
As with all of our Fellowship partnerships, by collaborating with like-minded organisations we hope to reach out to new audiences – making a bigger impact and helping our partners to do the same. With the support of Social Enterprise Berkshire's Tony Davis FRSA, we held our our first joint event in Oxford two weeks ago, where students from the Oxford Hub met with RSA Fellows for an evening workshop to brainstorm ways to use Oxford's empty shops to address a social need.
Be it youth unemployment, sustainable food production or community isolation, people came armed with ideas and possible solutions…
Set in the amazing Turl Street Kitchen (Oxford Hub and Student Hubs HQ), the event had a dual purpose: to introduce social enterprise by thinking about how we could use empty spaces for social good, and to encourage a mix of ideas and collaboration between different generations.
And this is what happened (click to enlarge)…
Great conversations made for some great ideas! But where can we go from here? Well, Student Hubs offers access to a range of funding bodies to support new ideas, and of course RSA Fellowship provides access to small grants through the Catalyst fund and the expertise of Fellows through the SkillsBank. The RSA South Central region is also launching a pop-up shop advice line for Fellows and RSA friends who want to know how to go about taking their ideas forward – get in touch with Alice Dyke, Regional Programme Manager at the RSA, for more information.
Next up…
We're hoping to run similar events and initiatives with Student Hubs in 2013 – so watch this space! Student Hubs are based in universities across England such as Southampton, Bristol and Cambridge – if you live in one of these areas and want to get involved get in touch with Amy Anderson, Oxford Hub Manager.

We're always happy to hear about potential opportunities for collaboration and partnership at the RSA – if you'd like to find out more, please contact our Partnership Development Co-ordinator, Jo Painter.

Waste Not, Want Not?
Filed under: Social Brain
I never really understood the expression/idiom/injunction 'waste not, want not'.
On the face of it, it seems to say: if you don't waste it you don't want it…
But obviously that's not the real message. The idea is that if you waste something, you are implicitly saying you don't want it. So if you waste food, water, energy, and time what are you saying? That somehow these things don't matter to you?
No. You're saying that you don't think they are scarce resources.
Which is not the case.
All of these things are hugely important and increasingly scarce, it's just that most of the people we know, and those reading this blog (I'm guessing) live in such a way that we don't feel the pinch of that scarcity.
That perspective may change if we found ourselves identifying with somebody starving, dying from a disease caused by lack of access to fresh water, migrating from a small island that will soon go under due to rising sea levels, or just told they have a terminal disease(other than life)….If only we felt 'as one' with such people, we might be aware of the scarcity and waste less of the precious resources that such people may die for want of.
Perhaps the world is getting a bit smaller in this sense. Jeremy Rifkind seems to argue as much i.e. that our circles of empathy are expanding, and the suffering of 'others' is beginning to feel more like our problem, because those others are 'closer' due to social media and travel, and therefore closer to us emotionally too.
Perhaps. I still think there is a role for experience here. I suspect you only real 'get' the tragedy of waste when you really feel the pinch of scarcity at the level of personal experience…
Indeed these thoughts were prompted by reading a good news story in The Independent that says we are wasting much less food than we used to. We are still wasting far more than we need to, and there is massive scope for improvement, but it seems when we felt the pinch- when money was tight and couldn't be wasted, we didn't let invisible vegetables languish in the invisible parts of our fridge, or have one spoon of humous before throwing the rest out uneaten a week later.
I am not sure whether I have a point here- but does this suggest that the experience of scarcity may be an important part of behaviour change strategies to reduce waste? If so, how do we go about it- can we simulate scarcity to help us waste less of the precious resources we are (for now) lucky enough to have?

We all know the impact abortion has on unborn babies. However, the effect on the mother can be devastating. These women often leave the clinic and spend the rest of their lives in bondage. Surrendering the Secret's mission is to set these women free and help them see the truth from the lies. What a blessing it has been to see the women who have gone through this study be set free from shame and guilt and have joy and peace, some for the first time in decades.
If you have had an abortion in the past and would like to join the next study or just talk privately with Linda, you can contact her at 334-703-2194 OR by email at email@example.com (ALL CONTACT IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL).
Don't let another day go by, experience the freedom and peace you have so deeply desired!
Please contact Linda, you can contact her at 334-703-2194 OR by email at firstname.lastname@example.com (ALL CONTACT IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL).
Pastor Steve Scoggins wrote:
As a pastor I was so appreciative of the impact "Surrendering the Secret" had on the lives of women in our church. We evangelical churches have been faithful to stand against abortion through the years but have had little to say to the women who made this choice and then felt the negative impact on their lives for years to come. The good news is that God can heal a woman who is bearing the scars of a past abortion. Surrendering the Secret is a Biblical and grace filled instrument that God is using to bring this healing to more women than you could ever imagine are sitting in our pews!
Another pastor wrote:
"Post abortion ministry came into our church several years ago through a woman who had been healed of an abortion, and whom the opportunity was given to offer this ministry to the women in our church. Over the past several years more than 25 women have gone through "Surrendering the Secret" which is offered twice a year on our church campus. I am now, more than ever, aware that the sheer numbers of abortions that have taken place in our country mean that it is unlikely that any congregation, including ours, remains untouched. Sadly, I have also become aware of how abortion affects the lives of those (men and women) that have survived it and how many of them are filling our pews on Saturday night and Sunday mornings, suffering in silence under a shroud of guilt and shame. Many pastors, including myself, see the high divorce rate, the troubled marriages, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse and other self-destructive behaviors plaguing our church family, and are now witness to the deeper issue that often lies at the root of these problems: the life-altering wound left in the wake of an unresolved abortion experience. We are very thankful for "Surrendering the Secret", through this study we have established ourselves as a safe place in which those that have been wounded by an abortion may find love, acceptance, hope and healing in Jesus Christ."

No one has to remind Dwight Freeney that the Indianapolis Colts are a work in progress.
But at the same time, the seven-time Pro Bowler applauds the work — however imperfect — that has produced a 4-3 record heading into Sunday's home game against the Miami Dolphins.
"I don't think we've put a complete game in yet. We've won, and we aren't apologizing for anything," said Freeney, a defensive end turned outside linebacker. "Wins are hard to come by, and they all mean a lot.
"Obviously, yeah, they haven't been the greatest performances across the board, but sometimes you win like that."
In a bottom-line business, nothing else matters. And with a win against the equally surprising Dolphins (4-3), who've had seven losing records the past eight seasons, the Colts can fortify their footing in the AFC playoff race.
Indianapolis, Miami, Pittsburgh and Denver have identical records in a cloudy postseason picture. Denver has a one-game lead in the AFC West. The Colts, Dolphins and Steelers are in second place, respectively, in the AFC South, East and North divisions.
Though delighted to be part of the playoff conversation as midseason approaches, the Colts understand their position is fragile. They've played well enough to win four games, including last week's 19-13 overtime thriller at Tennessee, but not necessarily well enough to secure the postseason.
Yet they are confident they can.
"There's definitely a lot of stuff that can be corrected," offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo said. "It's crazy where we are at. We aren't even close to our potential. I don't think we've really put together that complete game yet.
"And when we do, it's going to be pretty scary."
Rookie quarterback Andrew Luck, who engineered the winning drive at Tennessee, shares the view. To a point.
"I think it's great to have a winning record. Obviously (we) would much rather be where we are than 3-4 or 2-5," Luck said. "I think we realize that we have so much more to improve and also realize you can't overlook any opponent by any means. We haven't earned that right.
"I don't think we'll ever earn that right."
But the Colts can earn a playoff spot by continuing to build on what has got them to this point.
Despite a roster packed with first-, second- and third-year players, the Colts have, for the most part, avoided the rash of mistakes that traditionally trip up rebuilding teams. They've risen to offensive and defensive challenges at critical times and have demonstrated a collective poise that belies they're inexperience.
They've also committed turnovers and had offensive and defensive breakdowns that led to two blowout losses on the road (Chicago and New York Jets) and cost them a likely win in the closing minute of a home game against Jacksonville.
"I think you have to win the games, and sometimes a ball bounces (your way). We've obviously had some bounces against us," interim coach Bruce Arians said. "Any one that bounces for you, you take it with a smile and go on. But I don't think there's any destiny involved with this team.
"We're just trying to live day-by-day."
Or more specifically, trying to stay in the playoff race. Winning is the only guaranteed path.
"That's the major thing right now, building some momentum, stacking these wins," Freeney said. "It's been a while since we've done that around here. Hopefully, we can continue that this week."

Immigration Enforcement:
Preliminary Observations on DHS's Overstay Enforcement Efforts
GAO-13-602T: Published: May 21, 2013. Publicly Released: May 21, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-8777
Office of Public Affairs

What GAO Found
Since GAO reported on overstays in April 2011, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has taken action to address a backlog of potential overstay records by reviewing such records to identify national security and public safety threats, but unmatched arrival records remain in DHS's system. In April 2011, GAO reported that, as of January 2011, DHS's Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS) contained a backlog of 1.6 million potential overstay records. DHS uses ADIS to match departure records to arrival records and subsequently close records for individuals with matching arrival and departure records. Unmatched arrival records--those that do not have corresponding departure records--remain open and indicate that the individual is a potential overstay. In the summer of 2011, DHS reviewed the 1.6 million potential overstay records. As a result, DHS closed about 863,000 records and removed them from the backlog. Since that time, DHS has continued to review all potential overstay records for national security and public safety concerns. However, as of April 2013, DHS continues to maintain more than 1 million unmatched arrival records in ADIS. GAO's preliminary analysis identified nonimmigrants traveling to the United States on a tourist visa constitute 44 percent of unmatched arrival records, while tourists admitted under a visa waiver constitute 43 percent. The remaining records include various types of other nonimmigrants, such as those traveling on temporary worker visas.
DHS has actions completed and under way to improve data on potential overstays and report overstay rates, but the impact of these changes is not yet known. DHS has streamlined connections among databases used to identify potential overstays, among other things. Although these actions have resulted in efficiencies in processing data, they do not address underlying data quality issues, such as missing land departure data. Further, because many of these changes were implemented in April 2013, it is too early to assess their effect on the quality of DHS's overstay data. DHS continues to face challenges in reporting reliable overstay rates. Federal law requires DHS to report overstay estimates, but DHS or its predecessors have not regularly done so since 1994. In September 2008, GAO reported on limitations in overstay data that affect the reliability of overstay rates. In April 2011, GAO reported that DHS officials said that they have not reported overstay rates because DHS has not had sufficient confidence in the quality of its overstay data and that, as a result, DHS could not reliably report overstay rates. In February 2013, the Secretary of Homeland Security testified that DHS plans to report overstay rates by December 2013.
DHS faces challenges planning for a biometric exit system at air and sea ports of entry. Beginning in 1996, federal law has required the implementation of an integrated entry and exit data system for foreign nationals. As of April 2013, DHS's planning efforts are focused on developing a biometric exit system for airports, with the potential for a similar solution at sea ports. However, in October 2010, DHS identified key challenges as to why it has been unable to determine how and when to implement a biometric air exit capability, including challenges in determining what personnel should be responsible for the capture of biometric information.
GAO is assessing DHS's plans and efforts in these areas and plans to report on its results in July 2013.
Why GAO Did This Study
Each year, millions of visitors come to the United States legally on a temporary basis either with or without a visa. Overstays are individuals who were admitted into the country legally on a temporary basis but then overstayed their authorized periods of admission. DHS has primary responsibility for identifying and taking enforcement action to address overstays. Within DHS, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is tasked with inspecting all people applying for entry to the United States. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is responsible for enforcing immigration law in the interior of the United States. In April 2011, GAO reported on DHS's actions to identify and address overstays and made recommendations to strengthen these processes. DHS concurred and has taken or is taking steps to address them. Since April 2011, DHS has reported taking further actions to strengthen its processes for addressing overstays.
This testimony discusses GAO's preliminary observations on DHS's efforts since April 2011 to (1) review potential overstay records for national security and public safety concerns, (2) improve data on potential overstays and report overstay rates, and (3) plan for a biometric exit system. This statement is based on preliminary analyses from GAO's ongoing review of overstay enforcement for this subcommittee and other congressional requesters. GAO analyzed DHS documents and data related to overstays and interviewed relevant DHS officials. GAO expects to issue a final report on this work in July 2013. DHS provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.

Ever wonder why the Raiders are the most hated sports team on the Planet? I have my theories, but I'm sure you'd only dismiss them as racist so why bother? The Raiders are also the most talked about 5-11 team in NFL history. (How's that for stats, BSPN?) The bottom line is that regardless of whether the Raiders are good or not, they're loyal fan base will follow and we should exploit that. We meaning the medium, of course. The Owners pull strings in this league, people like Lane Kiffin and Roger Goodell are puppets, much like George Bush. They do what they're told. I can imagine it goes something like this "keep those pesky Raiders out of the way, they're taking up all the fans." And hall of fame players too, if I must add.
So let me give you lame owners the recipe on how to acquire a loyal fan base without having to pay extra for good officiating.
1. Get good players. And pay them tons of money. Especially your favorites.
Every NFL player is secretly a Raider fan and would love to play for AL.
2. Fire lame Coaches.
Norv Turner, Lane kiffin and Tom Cable all have they same thing in common. They suck. (See Chargers)
3. Get some Black in you.
Aside from giving a coaching opportunity to the first Black coach, Al has never judged players with prejudice always allowing those with blemishes a second chance. He also had the the audacity to draft a Black QB 1st overall in the 2007 draft. Wow. Not to mention their primary color(and city in which they generally reside) are all Black... More to come

Mark Christiansen, an Oklahoma City oil and gas attorney, joins McAfee & Taft law firm
Longtime Oklahoma City energy attorney Mark Christiansen has joined McAfee & Taft and will colead the law firm's energy industry group.
Christiansen, 57, joined McAfee & Taft after being at Crowe & Dunlevy. He has more than 30 years of experience, including litigation of energy industry lawsuits at the state, federal and appellate levels, the defense of class-action lawsuits, and advising clients on regulatory and operational matters.
Richard Nix, managing director for McAfee & Taft, said Christiansen has distinguished himself as a trusted lawyer and adviser for oil and gas companies of all sizes.
"The firm has always had the utmost respect for the quality of his work, his incredible work ethic, and his involvement in leading industry organizations, and we are very pleased he will be serving in a leadership role in an area of law that is so central to both our firm's and our state's future," Nix said. "What makes Mark particularly unique is that he is known almost as well in Texas among the oil and gas industry bar as he is known in Oklahoma, and that is a rare accomplishment for an attorney practicing in Oklahoma City or Tulsa."
Christiansen, a 1980 graduate of the University of Oklahoma College of Law, said he has watched McAfee & Taft's growth in recent years.
"Without question, McAfee has positioned itself as a regional law firm that offers top legal talent and quality of service in virtually every relevant area of legal practice," he said. "Given that McAfee & Taft has been doing as a law firm what I have always aspired to do in my own practice, it is a very natural fit, and I wanted to be part of the future of the firm."
Christiansen has won several awards in oil and gas law, including the Eugene Kuntz Award, co-sponsored by the Oklahoma Bar Association and OU's law school, and the 2009 Distinguished Service Award from the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association of Oklahoma.
Christiansen will colead the firm's Energy and Oil and Gas Industry Group with Tim Bomhoff.

Letter from CA, Not My Account
Hi all,
Today I received a letter from a collection agency (Convergent Outsourcing), referencing an account that isn't mine. It lists GE Capitol as the original creditor, with a balance of over $1k. I've no knowledge of this account, and it does not appear on any of the three CRs. Do I just toss the letter, call them, or write a letter. The letter they sent says I have 30 days to dispute?
Any help would be appreciated! I've never received anything like this before, and it's freaking me out

Bad Weather Predicted For Today & Did Well at Super Doubles Again
Friday, January 25, 2013
My husband and I finally broke down and bought a new dishwasher yesterday. I did check prices first online before heading out and we went with the store that had the cheapest price and could get the dishwasher to us first, LOL. We saved almost $50 by checking prices first.
If it had been the higher-priced store, I had my internet print-out of the cheaper store in my hands and would have had them price match.
I also stopped by Lowe's Foods since they are having super doubles (they double a $2 or less coupon) and believe it or not my total was around the same as yesterday (bought different things though) and was a little over $70 and was reduced to $17 after all the coupons and electronic coupons came off!
They are predicting sleet and freezing rain today and I am so stressed out that we may lose power and lose all the stockpile of groceries I have in the fridge/freezer. I'm really hoping and crossing fingers/toes that it doesn't happen. Not only that, it is VERY cold for our area of the country right now and it would be very cold in the house very soon after losing power.
If anyone in the neighborhood loses power, it's always us since we are the only one hooked up to overhead power lines vs. underground like every one else has.
They are either closing schools early or not opening at all according to the tickers on the bottom of the tv.

Excellent tip about turning the thermostat on the fridge/freezer up. I had not thought of that, thanks!
It started sleeting this morning and stopped, but has started back again for a few hours without stopping. It's sticking to the windshields of the cars, which bothers me since it is probably sticking to the power lines.
I've got my laundry going and trying to work on dishes, which is hard to do with a failing dishwasher, LOL. My hubby got out our supply of paper plates, etc. to use (if we lose power and also for now since the dishwasher is on the fritz).
Thank goodness I use coupons because my stockpile of disposable plates, cups, etc. will definitely be put to good use!

Excellent work on the washer deal! Enjoy the new one. Hope the weather turns out not to be as bad as you expect. Have you turned up the thermostat on your refrig and freezer? It will help keep things cold for a bit longer if the electric goes out. Just remember to turn it back to normal once the threat is passed. I don't know about you but I am already done with the cold (15 here this morning), and looking forward to SPRING!
Have a good day my friend!

Canton Charge to hold open tryouts
Interested players can try out for spot on Cavs' D-League affiliate.
The Canton Charge will hold an open tryout for interested players Sept. 20 at Canton McKinley Memorial Fieldhouse, team officials announced Wednesday.
The Charge are the NBA D-League affiliate of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"With as much player evaluating we do on a constant basis throughout all levels of basketball around the world, there's always talent out there we still might not be aware of," said Mike Gansey, Cavs director of D-League operations. "These tryouts give an opportunity for some of those diamonds in the rough take the next step in their own careers and help out our team."
The tryout will feature two sessions -- the first from 10 a.m.-noon, followed by one from 4-6 p.m. All Charge hopefuls must be available to participate in both sessions.
Registration fee is $150 per player by Sept. 19, or $200 per player on the day of the tryouts.
For more information, or to obtain a registration form, visit cantoncharge.com/tryouts, or the Charge offices at the Canton Memorial Civic Center, 1101 Market Avenue North, Canton, OH, 44702.

Theological images of marriage
Michael Sadgrove
I t is perhaps not usual to find a theological paper in company such as this. But as the poet quoted at the outset of Maggie Scarf book, Intimate Partners, puts it, "[in] every house of marriage there's room for an interpreter" ( Scarf, 1987, p. 7). A theologian is an interpreter of the stories people tell. He or she interprets those stories from the particular vantage point of belonging to a faith-community. Theologians can collaborate with interpreters from other disciplines in helping to draw the contemporary "map" of marriage. Perhaps it is the particular contribution of theology to draw attention to the "why" questions alongside the "how": if marriages are to work, it is important to ask why marriage exists, what it is for. That is the aim of this chapter.
It is worth making three points at the outset. (1) A very significant number of marriage ceremonies in Britain still take place in church, over half of them in the Church of England. No doubt, there are many reasons for getting married in church, not all of them consciously religious. But many couples would seem, in some way, still to want to place their marriages in the religious sphere, where language about God will be used to give

Sony HXR-NX30E
1/2.88-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor ultra-compact NXCAM camcorder recording full HD with Balanced Optical SteadyShot
£58.00 per day guide ex. VAT Rates
Ed Moore gives his first impressions
Palm-sized camcorder with outstanding picture quality
The HXR-NX30 is an ultra-compact, palm-sized, professional NXCAM camcorder compatible with the latest full HD formats including 1080/50p video. It features a 26.0mm ultra wide-angle lens with 10x optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 26-260mm) and a back-illuminated 1/2.88-inch type Exmor R CMOS sensor for outstanding versatility.
Like other NXCAM camcorders, it comes with the features professional users demand, including flexible timecode/user bit settings and XLR audio inputs for high reliability and high sound quality.
Advanced image stabilisation
One of the HXR-NX30E's biggest advantages is the Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization system. This allows the entire optical block, from the lens to the image sensor, to "float" and absorb movement from the body. The result is extremely effective image stabilization even when zooming in, something previously difficult to achieve, providing handheld shooting with a new level of image stability.
Built-in projector to view rushes
A built-in projector can project images up to 100 inches wide (when projecting 5m from a screen), enabling production crew to easily check the rushes at the end of the shoot.
Ultra wide-angle 26.0mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens
The HXR-NX30E comes with a 26.0mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens that suppresses unwanted reflections to assure faithful colour reproduction. It also provides high contrast and high image quality with exceptional resolution from 26.0mm wide angle to 260mm telephoto (35mm equivalent). Thanks to the 6-blade iris diaphragm, you can enjoy an exceptionally realistic expression of natural light.
* The supplied step-down ring is required to mount conversion lenses. Conversion lenses cannot be mounted unless the supplied hood is removed. Also, be sure to set the conversion lens mode on the body before using. When using the Wide Conversion Lens setting, switch Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ off.
1/2.88-inch type Exmor R CMOS image sensor
Even when shooting dark scenes, the back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor provides high sensitivity and low noise that are hard to believe from such a compact unit. What is more, using a 1/2.88-inch type sensor with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is ideal for wide-angle shooting. This lets you record images with even higher definition.
Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization system
The innovative Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization system eliminates the influence of vibrations from the body by enclosing the entire optical block, from the lens to the image sensor, in a "floating" space. Combined with electronic image stabilization that compensates for rotation around the optical axis, this new system provides powerful image stabilization even when shooting whilst zooming, which was previously difficult to achieve. So now you can record stable images with minimal blur, every time.
To optimize the effect of Balanced Optical SteadyShot™, the HXR-NX30E features a FIXED SHOT mode. Press a button and this expands the movable range of the optical block to keep you locked on your subject. This is particularly convenient when you want to maintain the same shooting angle for an extended period.
Full HD video capture and still image recording
The HXR-NX30E allows you to shoot at 50fps progressive (1080/50p) with 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution. Using a 25p timeline setting with AVCHD 2.0 compatible NLE software enables conversion to smooth slow-motion images up to 2x slower. You can also select 1080/50i/25p, 1280x720 50p and PAL.
Simultaneous recording of still images while shooting video is another feature of the HXR-NX30E. It is possible to shoot high quality images with a resolution as high as 24.1M (16:9 / 6544 x 3680, 4:3 / 4912 x 3680).
Embedded Flash memory and Memory Stick PRO Duo/ SD multi card slot
The built-in 96GB embedded Flash memory can record and store up to 30 hours of high definition video footage in HD LP mode with Dolby Digital audio mode. And there is an amulet-card slot that lets you record video images on Memory Stick PRO Duo and SD cards, giving you a range of options in your choice of recording media. You can also use these readily available cards to copy data from internal memory.
XLR audio inputs and ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone records Linear PCM audio
Two balanced XLR audio inputs are built-in with phantom power and attenuation options that professional users require for clean sound quality. Default audio settings for XLR recording are highlighted in green for easy reference in the field in order to reduce operator error under difficult lighting conditions.
The ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone mounted on top of the ergonomic handle provides audio recording performance similar to larger shoulder-mounted ENG style cameras.
The HXR-NX30E is also able to record high-quality 48kHz/16 bit Linear PCM audio.
Timecode/user bit recording and HDMI embedded timecode output
The HXR-NX30E features the important professional camcorder functions of timecode and user bit settings. Like other NXCAM camcorders, the HXR-NX30E allows timecode to be centrally reset using an infrared remote control for easy synchronization of video from multiple cameras*. Using NLE software, live footage shot with multiple NXCAM camcorders can be efficiently edited with timecode sync. Timecodes and user bits can also be output through an HDMI jack.
* Does not completely synchronize the operations of multiple cameras.
Built-in light offers auxiliary light source for video or flash for still image capture
You can use this built-in light as a flash when shooting still images or as an auxiliary light source when recording video. Using the NightShot mode is particularly effective when recording in low-light conditions and allows you to capture otherwise impossible shots.
Built-in projector to view rushes
A built-in projector can project images up to 100 inches wide (when projecting 5m from a screen, 40 inches wide when projecting 2m from a screen). Large-screen projection of images enables all the staff involved to check the rushes at the end of the shoot and reduces the need for an external display.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 260915 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 415 AM CDT THU MAY 26 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday) Issued at 415 AM CDT Thu May 26 2016 At 4 am, there was a variety of weather conditions across the Northland. Areas of fog were found across the region, and there was some locally dense fog in spots. Temperatures ranged from the middle 40s to the middle 50s for the most part. On KDLH radar, there was an area of thunderstorms approaching International Falls, while another larger area of storms south of the CWA generally moving to the east. The models are generally in decent agreement concerning the mass fields, but some differences were found in the handling of the various subtle features in terms of sensible weather. The main focus for today through Friday will be trying to resolve various precipitation threats. In general, the chances for precipitation appear to be fairly low for most areas. The best chance for showers and storms today appears to be in portions of NW WI, as well as along the International Border region. Dry air is expected to push in from southwest to northeast during the day, allowing a good deal of sunshine to develop across the region. High temperatures should soar into the upper 70s to lower 80s. Could be a few strong storms, especially in NW WI. Areas of fog will likely linger near Lake Superior, as well as cooler temperatures. Tonight, it will be fairly quiet across the Northland during the evening, but showers and thunderstorms will gradually increase from the south as a shortwave lifts northeastward in the broad southwest flow aloft. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to be fairly numerous for the last half of the night, and into Friday as well. The last day of the work week should be on the wet side due to moist southerly flow and shortwave energy. Highs will once again be in the 70s for the most part. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Wednesday) Issued at 415 AM CDT Thu May 26 2016 The wet pattern will continue through most of the long term as moisture continues to stream into the forecast area. The entire long range period will be dominated by a long wave trough. First in the short term, the current wave over the central U. S. will merge with another one that will be developing over the Pacific Northwest early next week. As this next system digs into the central Rockies, another series of short waves will move across the northland. While a good portion of the weekend will be stormy the precipitation chances will be smallest on monday. On saturday the surface low will be over the upper Midwest saturday and finally pulling out sunday, making for a stormy weekend. By monday weak high pressure will be over the region, but will quickly be replaced by low pressure developing in the high plains. With increased moisture and warm air advection in the return flow, some showers and storms could develop mainly in the afternoon. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1227 AM CDT Thu May 26 2016 An area of convection is expected to affect parts of the northland through approximately 10z, bringing the potential for TSRA with ifr conditions to KINL. KHIB and KBRD may also be affected, but confidence is low and have left out for now. Otherwise, we have an area of stratus with lifr ceilings draped across KBRD, KDLH and KHYR, which should spread north to affect KHIB and KINL as well overnight. The cloud should slowly erode from southwest to northeast beginning around 14z, and may exit by 20z. After the clouds erode conditions should return to VFR. Expect additional thunderstorm development after 18z, but timing and location are highly uncertain at this time and have left out for now. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
