Veterinarian & Physical Rehabilitation Director
Education: Michigan State University
Dr. Gregory Paplawsky has always had a deep-seated passion for animals thanks to the dogs, cats and other small creatures his family kept while he was growing up. By the time junior high rolled around, he had the realization that he would not be following in his favorite major leaguers footsteps (Chet Lemon) and become the next center fielder of the Detroit Tiger's. Fortunately, Dr. Paplawsky's interest in science was always present, and a career in veterinary medicine was the perfect way to mix his fascination of science with his long-standing interest in animals!Dr. Paplawsky grew up in Grand Rapids in Alger Heights and attended City High School. After graduating from Hope College in Holland, he completed his veterinary degree at Michigan State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Paplawsky practiced veterinary medicine for six years in the Kalamazoo area before arriving here at Cascade Hospital for Animals as an associate veterinarian. After four years, he became a partner with Drs. Seigle and McBride.
Dr. Paplawsky always staying current with his knowledge of veterinary medicine by attending continuing education meetings. As part of his continued training he became certified in Physical Rehabilitation, which is the animal equivalent of physical therapy on the human side. Through rigorous course work, exam, and an international internship he achieved the certification and is the Director of Physical Rehabilitation at Michigan Veterinary Rehabilitation which is a department within the Cascade Hospital for Animals facility. The physical rehabilitation department also included two Rehab certified licensed veterinary technicians who help dogs of all ages live healthier, more mobile, and pain free lives. Dr. Paplawsky's professional interests include expanding his own knowledge and offering more treatment methods and recovery options for his patients. It is this drive that has helped him to become certified to perform stem cell therapy, and certified in veterinary physical rehabilitation. He also has an interest in zoonotic disease, parasitology, dermatology and orthopedic surgery.
Dr. Paplawsky and his wife have three children. They share their home with a Standard Poodle named Bernie, a Siamese Mix named Quincy and a domestic medium hair named Reggie the Privs. When he isn't spending time with his family or tending to the needs of pets here at Cascade Hospital for Animals and Breton Village Animal Clinic, Dr. Paplawsky likes watching Tiger baseball, attending his boys sporting and school events, trying to garden, and enjoying food of all kinds.

Update Notes
Updated on: 07/02/2015
Since we last visited SlowTeasingHandjobs...
I once hooked up with a guy who had just moved to my city from Mexico City and didn't speak a lot of English. He was very shy and explained that in his culture you wouldn't sleep with someone you didn't love. I explained that things were a bit different for us in North America. Anyway, we didn't date long, but he did show me just how incredible Slow Teasing Handjobs can be.
SlowTeasingHandjobs focuses mostly on older guys giving straight boys handjobs, with some brief blowjobs thrown in, but the principle remains the same. My Mexican friend really wasn't comfortable with gay sex, but seemed okay (with or without "love") to mess around with all kinds of fondling, stroking and a touch of sucking. He gave me one of the most intense orgasms I've ever had.
Check out the 550 videos and you'll soon learn the secret of my amigo, as well as the dudes behind this collection. It's all about getting a stud superexcited and then denying him the chance to ejaculate, then working him up all over again. Do that a few times and when the cycle ends the cumshot will prove epic.
You can expect good-quality playback for the older videos, but everything from the last couple years or so comes in Full HD in a Windows Media format. There are no photos. You can preview the videos with screen caps and a large thumbnail labels each one and there's a written description that makes it fairly clear what's happening in each shoot.
Some men are tied up so that they can't stop the guy who's stroking, sucking and sometimes using a vibrator on his balls and cock. Some of them also get rimmed and/or have their assholes fingered. Even the shoots with no bondage still involve that slow, agonizing manhandling with multiple stops at the brink of ejaculation before finally being allowed to cum.
The interface is a bit basic. For example, there's no search function and you can't save your favorites, post comments or rate the content. The videos are dated at least, which tells me that updates are generally twice a week, but always at least weekly.
The price is pretty standard and they knock off 15 percent on your first rebill. I appreciate that you're getting genuine amateur action here, but you're not expected to put up with lackluster quality. Slow Teasing Handjobs seems like a worthwhile investment.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I'm hoping someone can give me a bit of advice: I have a belly ring (curved barbell) that has started to pull, so I ordered a pregnancy belly ring and it arrived yesterday. It's flexible and very long. I'm assuming I need to cut it? But I'm not sure how short to cut it? I'm 16 weeks now (FTM), with only a little belly - will my belly still bound to grow a lot, will I need it to be longer later? I don't get if my skin between the two ends of the peircing will stretch?
Pregnancy Belly Ring Tips Please
My Family is My life!
i didn't cut mine an exact measurement, i just snipped enough that it wouldn't hang past my pants line. wish i could be more helpful but i can say that i don't have stretch marks from mine nor did it tear or do anything weird. i was able to wear mind comfortably from grwoing out of my original on until my belly went back down after i had ds. never had any issue with it. so i'm assuming those that did are just like every other pregnancy, they're all different and there's really no way of knowing without at least trying. obviously if it hurts or just plan doesn't feel right it's not going to hurt to take it out. i've had mine pierced for 11 years now and i'm sure if i took it out for a bit it would be fine. good luck!

So Happy For Kate
A good friend of mine just had her fourth child last week. Her first three are boys, so we're all just thrilled for her that she had a GIRL!
I've used a different color combo on this one. It comes from a long-forgotten package of Maya Road fibers that my youngest (11 months) found while he was 'exploring' my drawer of orange embellishments.
The layout comes from Jen del Muro's weekly Sketch for You to Try. Be sure to check out i{heart}2stamp to see the sketch, Jen's sample, and guest designer Joanne Basile's sample. Then head over to see what Carole, Shannan, and Susan cooked up with this sketch. When you're ready to play along, remember to use keyword SFYTT if you upload to SCS. That way we can all hang out together at the same playground.
Have a great weekend!
Stamps: Nursery Necessities
Paper: Perfect Plum, So Saffron, Groovy Guava
Ink: Groovy Guava, Perfect Plum
Accessories: Groovy Guava double-stitched ribbon, small oval punch, bigger brads (by Close to My Heart), Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder (by Provo Craft), corner rounder, classic and scalloped circle nestabilities (by Spellbinders), dimensionals, three for you punch, spring bouquet punch, pretties kit
Supplies by Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Aston Villa Message Board
aston villa football club v le frog.
i have been an avid (family noses say rabid) follower of this THE GREATEST FOOTBALL CLUB IN THE WORLD, since the mid 60´s, attended my first match in 1967 aged 9, (parents thought that i was riding around kings norton on my push bike), i have suffered the gloom i have witnessed the glory, for many the essence of ASTON VILLA is jimmy rimmer raising his hand in rotterdam and a young almost unheard of nigel spink standing from the bench to prepare for his finest hour. old barstewards like me remember bournmouth in the 3rd division with memories that are as finely tuned as that night in rotterdam, our finest hour, well we all have our own, but if what i am reading this morning about the stand of many of our 25 man squad is to be believed, then our club now faces its most desperate hour. i am no lover of those who would blackmail or so called men who earn a decades wages for some, in a week threatening to withdraw thier labour, but thier is a problem here, it is major and it seems to be coming from "the boss" and that scottish pussy at his side.
what the hell is going on, we all have work proceedures but there are ways and means of introducing them, do we have some kind of dictator running the club, is there no consultation process, who in this day and age (apart from the fcuking prime minister) thinks that they can simply introduce these draconian measures without consequence?. can no one at the club see that we are in trouble, and that without a united (no not that lot, (god i wish) ) workforce we will become victims of our inability to perform as a unit. we MR HOULLIER,are ASTON VILLA, you are just another money grabbing jobs worth, no creativity, no vision NO FCUKING HOPE, it is time to do the dignified thing, GO, RESIGN, pi55 off back from whence you came and give us a chance of survival.
MR LERNER, i do not care if you once watched villa while studying at uni, IF you are as you claim ASTON VILLA IN YOUR HEART, then you will know that i am right and will push him if he will not walk, if you are other than what you claim then it is also time for you to go.

Mike - there's no point in calling for Houllier to be sacked now. It's too late. He should have been sacked at Christmas.
What is upsetting is that this moron has given up trying to understand the players and the fans and has resorted to being a pathetic little Napoleon.
We all know MoN was a hard manager who demanded everything from his players and mostly they gave their all, sometimes a bit more. To do that he had to gain their respect.
Houllier hasn't gained anyone's respect. Certainly not the players or us fans. Only very recently did he start to talk about relegation (instead of about Man City and Liverpool), and now, all of a sudden he's noticed that we are in deep sh1. So he's blaming the players, and he's doing it as if he's threatening to take sweets from little kids. That is so pathetic that the board should have chucked him out immediately.
If by some miracle (which won't come from Houllier), we manage to stay up, I think Houllier should be shamed by the fans and players into resigning.

Doesn't socialism mean that the government will own and run everything?
Democratic socialists do not want to create an all-powerful government bureaucracy. But we do not want big corporate bureaucracies to control our society either. Rather, we believe that social and economic decisions should be made by those whom they most affect.
Today, corporate executives who answer only to themselves and a few wealthy stockholders make basic economic decisions affecting millions of people. Resources are used to make money for capitalists rather than to meet human needs. We believe that the workers and consumers who are affected by economic institutions should own and control them.
Social ownership could take many forms, such as worker-owned cooperatives or publicly owned enterprises managed by workers and consumer representatives. Democratic socialists favor as much decentralization as possible. While the large concentrations of capital in industries such as energy and steel may necessitate some form of state ownership, many consumer-goods industries might be best run as cooperatives.
Democratic socialists have long rejected the belief that the whole economy should be centrally planned. While we believe that democratic planning can shape major social investments like mass transit, housing, and energy, market mechanisms are needed to determine the demand for many consumer goods.
Hasn't socialism been discredited by the collapse of Communism in the USSR and Eastern Europe?
Socialists have been among the harshest critics of authoritarian Communist states. Just because their bureaucratic elites called them "socialist" did not make it so; they also called their regimes "democratic." Democratic socialists always opposed the ruling party-states of those societies, just as we oppose the ruling classes of capitalist societies. We applaud the democratic revolutions that have transformed the former Communist bloc. However, the improvement of people's lives requires real democracy without ethnic rivalries and/or new forms of authoritarianism. Democratic socialists will continue to play a key role in that
struggle throughout the world. Moreover, the fall of Communism should not blind us to injustices at home. We cannot allow all radicalism to be dismissed as "Communist." That suppression of dissent and diversity undermines America's ability to live up to its promise of equality of opportunity, not to mention the freedoms of speech and assembly.
Private corporations seem to be a permanent fixture in the US, so why work towards socialism?
In the short term we can't eliminate private corporations, but we can bring them under greater democratic control. The government could use regulations and tax incentives to encourage companies to act in the public interest and outlaw destructive activities such as exporting jobs to low-wage countries and polluting our environment. Public pressure can also have a critical role to play in the struggle to hold corporations accountable. Most of all, socialists look to unions make private business more accountable.
Won't socialism be impractical because people will lose their incentive to work?
We don't agree with the capitalist assumption that starvation or greed are the only reasons people work. People enjoy their work if it is meaningful and enhances their lives. They work out of a sense of responsibility to their community and society. Although a long-term goal of socialism is to eliminate all but the most enjoyable kinds of labor, we recognize that unappealing jobs will long remain. These tasks would be spread among as many people as possible rather than distributed on the basis of class, race, ethnicity, or gender, as
they are under capitalism. And this undesirable work should be among the best, not the least, rewarded work within the economy. For now, the burden should be placed on the employer to make work desirable by raising wages, offering benefits and improving the work environment. In short, we believe that a combination of social, economic, and moral incentives will motivate people to work.
Why are there no models of democratic socialism?
Although no country has fully instituted democratic socialism, the socialist parties and labor movements of other countries have won many victories for their people. We can learn from the comprehensive welfare state maintained by the Swedes, from Canada's national health care system, France's nationwide childcare program, and Nicaragua's literacy programs. Lastly, we can learn from efforts initiated right here in the US, such as the community health centers created by the government in the 1960s. They provided high quality family care, with community involvement in decision-making.
But hasn't the European Social Democratic experiment failed?
For over half a century, a number of nations in Western Europe and Scandinavia have enjoyed both tremendous prosperity and relative economic equality thanks to the policies pursued by social democratic parties. These nations used their relative wealth to insure a high standard of living for their citizenshigh wages, health care and subsidized education. Most importantly, social democratic parties supported strong labor movements that became central players in economic decision-making. But with the globalization of capitalism, the old social democratic model becomes ever harder to maintain. Stiff competition from low-wage labor markets in developing countries and the constant fear that industry will move to avoid taxes and strong labor regulations has diminished (but not eliminated) the ability of nations to launch ambitious economic reform on their own. Social democratic reform must now happen at the international level. Multinational corporations must be brought under democratic controls, and workers' organizing efforts must reach across borders.
Now, more than ever, socialism is an international movement. As socialists have always known, the welfare of working people in Finland or California depends largely on standards in Italy or Indonesia. As a result, we must work towards reforms that can withstand the power of multinationals and global banks, and we must fight for a world order that is not controlled by bankers and bosses.
Aren't you a party that's in competition with the Democratic Party for votes and support?
No, we are not a separate party. Like our friends and allies in the feminist, labor, civil rights, religious, and community organizing movements, many of us have been active in the Democratic Party. We work with those movements to strengthen the party's left wing, represented by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
The process and structure of American elections seriously hurts third party efforts. Winner-take-all elections instead of proportional representation, rigorous party qualification requirements that vary from state to state, a presidential instead of a parliamentary system, and the two-party monopoly on political power have doomed third party efforts. We hope that at some point in the future, in coalition with our allies, an alternative national party will be viable. For now, we will continue to support progressives who have a real chance at winning elections, which usually means left-wing Democrats.
If I am going to devote time to politics, why shouldn't I focus on something more immediate?
Although capitalism will be with us for a long time, reforms we win nowraising the minimum wage, securing a national health plan, and demanding passage of right-to-strike legislationcan bring us closer to socialism. Many democratic socialists actively work in the single-issue organizations that advocate for those reforms. We are visible in the reproductive freedom movement, the fight for student aid, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered organizations, anti-racist groups, and the labor movement.
It is precisely our socialist vision that informs and inspires our day-to-day activism for social justice. As socialists we bring a sense of the interdependence of all struggles for justice. No single-issue organization can truly challenge the capitalist system or adequately secure its particular demands. In fact, unless we are all collectively working to win a world without oppression, each fight for reforms will be disconnected, maybe
even self-defeating.
What can young people do to move the US towards socialism?
Since the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s, young people have played a critical role in American politics. They have been a tremendous force for both political and cultural change in this country: in limiting the US's options in the war in Vietnam, in forcing corporations to divest from the racist South African regime, in reforming universities, and in bringing issues of sexual orientation and gender discrimination to public attention. Though none of these struggles were fought by young people alone, they all featured youth as leaders in multi-generational progressive coalitions. Young people are needed in today's struggles as well: for universal health care and stronger unions, against welfare cuts and predatory multinational corporations.
Schools, colleges and universities are important to American political culture. They are the places where ideas are formulated and policy discussed and developed. Being an active part of that discussion is a critical job for young socialists. We have to work hard to change people's misconceptions about socialism, to broaden political debate, and to overcome many students' lack of interest in engaging in political action. Off-campus, too, in our daily cultural lives, young people can be turning the tide against racism, sexism and homophobia, as well as the conservative myth of the virtue of "free" markets.
If so many people misunderstand socialism, why continue to use the word?
First, we call ourselves socialists because we are proud of what we are. Second, no matter what we call ourselves, conservatives will use it against us. Anti-socialism has been repeatedly used to attack reforms that shift power to working class people and away from corporate capital. In 1993, national health insurance was attacked as "socialized medicine" and defeated. Liberals are routinely denounced as socialists in order to discredit reform. Until we face, and beat, the stigma attached to the "S word," politics in America will continue to be stifled and our options limited. We also call ourselves socialists because we are proud of the traditions upon which we are based, of the heritage of the Socialist Party of Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas, and of other struggles for change that have made America more democratic and just. Finally, we call ourselves socialists to remind everyone that we have a vision of a better world.

Oklahomans still highly interested in guns, FBI records show
Even as the national gun debate has cooled in recent weeks, Oklahomans' interest in purchasing firearms remains high.
In February, more than 40,000 background checks were requested by Oklahoma gun store owners, the third-highest total recorded by the FBI.
Gun shop owners say the background checks, while not necessarily indicative of total sales, can be used to gauge the public's interest in firearms during a particular month.
The high water mark in Oklahoma and the rest of the country came in December, the same month as the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and a month after President Barack Obama was elected to his second term in office.
A nationwide debate about gun control, sparked by the massacre of dozens of children and adults in Newtown, Conn., was raging at that point, dominating headlines.
In December, gun shop owners in Oklahoma requested 60,731 background checks, the most in the state since the FBI started tracking such statistics in late 1998.
The 43,984 checks requested by Oklahoma shop owners last month was the third-highest total in state history. Only January and December had more checks requested.
Last year set records for gun checks, both in Oklahoma and the rest of the country.
Supply issues
At Locked and Loaded gun shop in Choctaw, owner Melissa Burger said the background check statistics can be deceiving.
Burger said while the last three months have been historically busy for gun sellers, the high numbers may actually be deflated.
"It's product availability that's the issue right now," she said. "You can't actually do a background check until you have (a gun) you are going to buy.
"As far as sales go, we haven't slowed down a bit. ... The traffic has, but that's because people are figuring out what we don't have."
Burger said ammunition and so-called assault rifles remain very difficult to get, both at the local gun store and from the companies that manufacture them.
She said she has a waiting list for buyers interested in AR-15-style rifles.
"It's starting to loosen up a bit on those. We're starting to see a few of them from time to time," Burger said of the rifles. "We have a list because we want to be fair to the people who've been waiting. We don't even put them on the shelf."
During an interview with The Oklahoman last month, the owner of Big Boy's Guns & Ammo discussed the hard-to-get rifles.
"We still see them come in occasionally," she said. "But I'd say the longest they sit on my shelf is 30 minutes — they don't stay long."

The future of the Auburn School District's school-lunch program is a cropping of spindly sticks protruding from a bumpy plot of grass next...
The future of the Auburn School District's school-lunch program is a cropping of spindly sticks protruding from a bumpy plot of grass next to Auburn High School.
With a little luck and some spring sunshine, the sticks will sprout into fruit-bearing trees — the start of a garden designed to bear produce for the district's school-lunch program.
The garden, roughly an acre, won't feed an entire school district of more than 14,000 students, but child-nutrition-services director Eric Boutin hopes it can make a difference. As rising food costs and a childhood-obesity crisis pressure school-lunch programs to be both healthful and cost-efficient, Boutin says the garden can connect kids to the whole, healthful foods they need to be eating.

- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- All's still not smooth for Uber after its bumpy ride to Sea-Tac Airport
Most Read Stories
"We need to find a way to feed our kids better," Boutin said.
His answer: School kitchens will use produce from the garden. Fresh vegetables could appear on the salad bar and dishes like roasted rosemary chicken will make use of fresh herbs.
It may be the only such garden in Washington; a spokesman for the state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction said no other district grows its own food for school lunches.
With children's diets a mounting concern, the traditional lunch-menu rotation of chicken nuggets, pizza and tater tots isn't acceptable anymore, Boutin said.
Boutin has made healthful eating a priority across the district, which serves nearly 11,000 meals a day.
So in April, students from an Auburn High horticulture class planted apple, plum and pear trees. Boutin has plans for an herb garden, vegetables, native plants and flowers.
Students have a direct hand in planting the garden. High-school horticulture students work on it regularly, and Washington Elementary has an after-school program and a planned summer program for kids to help out with the garden.
At Washington, students already choose vegetables from a fresh salad bar.
"They actually eat it," said Sherry Bloomstrom, the school's kitchen manager.
One day, when the garden produces vegetables, Boutin envisions they'll have a place on the salad bar.
He says it's a misconception that school-cafeteria cooks don't know how to make nutritious meals. They can cook healthfully — they just aren't given enough money to spend, he said.
The district has a food budget of $4 million a year; that leaves about $1 for each lunch. Preparing the most healthful meals using fresh, local ingredients would cost more than that, Boutin said.
Experts say school gardens help students learn firsthand about the kinds of foods they should be eating.
Gardens are a powerful context for learning, said Zenobia Barlow, executive director of the Center for Ecoliteracy, a California-based institute that pioneered the Rethinking School Lunch program.
A school garden helps even the youngest children understand the cycles of nature, she said, and children are much more engaged when they take part in the learning.
School gardens, in some capacity, are popular. In California alone, there are thousands, Barlow said.
But, she said, Boutin's plan to use produce from the school garden in school lunches is less common.
Students say they might be more apt to eat school lunches if the food is made with ingredients that they've seen grow.
"They'll [the school lunches] look a lot better than they do now," said Ana Ceja, 16.

They are both very nice hotels.
We have stayed in the Dolphin a couple of times. The first time we stayed we had a spacious room. The beds are called heavenly and they so live up to their name.
The hotels are located between Epcot and Hollywood studios and both can be reached by boat. If you are energetic you can also use the walkway. We found the walkway particularly handy after watching fantasmic as there was a huge queue for the boat back to the hotel.
They have nice restaurants like Shulas and Bluezoo and also Picabu which is a quick counter service place which also has groceries.
At Christmas time there are tree lighting ceremonies on selected nights and you can also meet Santa. They also have a piano player. You can sit and relax with your drink and listen to the soothing music which you need after a long day at the park.
As they are not disney hotels they dont have the disney theming. However, they are still well presented. :p015:

The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst Review
The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst
Billionaire Nicholas Ryan doesn't believe in marriage, but in order to inherit his father's corporation, he needs a wife and needs one fast. When he discovers his sister's childhood friend is in dire financial straits, he's offers Alexa a bold proposition.
A marriage in name only with certain rules: Avoid entanglement. Keep things all business. Do not fall in love. The arrangement is only for a year so the rules shouldn't be that hard to follow, right?
Except fate has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans…
My Review
So, this book reminded me of the movie, The Bachelor. Does anyone remember that flick? The guy has to marry in order to obtain his inheritance. There are all these stipulations that roll along with it?? Does this pic look familiar…
Anyway, that is what this book reminded me of, but, TMB has a little bit of a different twist. Nick and Alexa knew each other back when they were kids. Alexa always had a crush on Nick, but, Nick was older and Alexa's best friend's brother. Thanks to the author for the heart wrenching prologue. You get to see what type of teasing relationship the two had during their adolescent years.
Thanks to Maggie, Alexa's BFF, The two come together again. This time for purely a business adventure. Alexa needs the money and Nick needs the wife. They agree to get married for 1 year, then walk away as friends. There are all kinds of rules and an actual signed contract. Seems simple right? Until feelings start getting in the way!!
I loved, loved, loved Alexa and would love to be more like her! She was not willing to stand down on what she wanted and was willing to walk away from Nick if he didn't meet her demands. Many times, she didn't let her heart get in the way and she kept a level head!
Nick was so broken, his parents really did a number on him. So many times, I wish I could have just smacked him and said…"Just say how you feel!" He was afraid to show emotion and get attached. His biggest fear was being like his father.
The ending was sweet and had me misty eyed! I loved the epilogue and am very much looking forward to book 2! beautiful writing from Jennifer Probst, highly recommended read:)
Posted on August 30, 2012, in 2012, August. Bookmark the permalink. 5 Comments.
I read the book also and completely loved the book. Love reading your posts of different books you've read. Thank you!
After reading 50 Shades, Bared to you and Gone Girl (i know!!) The Marriage Bargain was a very good break! I liked it very much! It was the first book I read of Jennifer Probst and hopefully not the last! I agree with your review! There will be a second book?! Do you know when?
I love Maggie but I will miss Nick and Alexa :-(… Maybe Jennifer Probst will mention them in the next book, right?!! Conte and Maggie, I can see that working… p.s. I love goodreads!!

Diesel Futures Decline as Imports to Boost East Coast Supplies
Ultra low sulfur diesel futures fell for the first time in a week, sliding from a three-week intraday high on speculation that imports will replenish supplies being drawn down during winter storms.
ULSD settled 0.3 percent lower as U.S. East Coast distillate imports rose in the week ended Jan. 10 and more cargoes are anticipated from Europe and Canada. Futures jumped as much as 2 percent earlier as winter storm warnings stretched from North Carolina to New Hampshire, indicating higher demand for heating fuel. Natural gas futures jumped to the highest price in almost four weeks.
"The focus for weather moved to natural gas and propane where supply tightness and the problems are," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago. "Nobody is worried about weakness in heating oil."
Ultra low sulfur diesel for February delivery fell 0.9 cent to settle at $3.0147 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Trading volume was 89 percent above the 100-day average as of 3:19 p.m.
Prices touched $3.0834, the highest intraday price since Dec. 31, before retreating. February ULSD narrowed its premium to March futures by 0.61 cent to 6.36 cents, after touching 9.23 cents earlier.
"You've got prompt tightness because of the cold weather and that's why it's backwardated," said Amrita Sen, chief oil market strategist at Energy Aspects Ltd., a research company in London. "The backwardation probably became too steep to be justified and that's why it came off."
Natural Gas
Natural gas for February delivery advanced 10.5 cents to $4.431 per million British thermal on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement price since Dec. 26. Spot gas at the Transco Zone 6 hub traded as high as $135 per million Btu on the IntercontinenalExchange.
East Coast distillate imports jumped 50 percent in the week ended Jan. 10 to 158,000 barrels a day, according to Energy Information Administration data.
The flow of cargoes continued in the week ended Jan. 16, with at least 1.09 million barrels arriving in New York and New England, according to U.S. Customs bill of lading data compiled by Bloomberg. Tankers arriving included Great Eastern, which delivered heating oil from Irving Oil's Saint John refinery in Canada to ports in Maine, and Jag Pranav, which carried fuel to Boston and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, from Ventspils in Latvia.
European Gasoil
Gasoil in Europe for February delivery settled at $919 per metric ton on the London ICE Futures exchange, and traded $913.25 at 2:30 p.m. New York time. That put gasoil almost 10 cents a gallon cheaper than ULSD in New York and about 19 cents below heating oil delivered to Boston, making New England an especially attractive destination for cargoes from Europe.
Diesel's crack spread versus West Texas Intermediate crude, a rough measure of refining profitability, narrowed $1 to $31.63 a barrel. The premium over European benchmark Brent fell 50 cents to $17.22 a barrel.
Gasoline for February delivery advanced 0.02 cent to settle at $2.6206 a gallon on trading volume that was 7.9 percent above the 100-day average.
The motor fuel's crack spread versus WTI narrowed 61 cents to $15.08 a barrel while its premium to London-traded Brent crude declined 28 cents to $3.87.
The average U.S. pump price fell 0.5 cent to $3.279 a gallon, according to Heathrow, Florida-based AAA. Prices are the lowest since Dec. 25 and 2.6 cents below a year ago.

Connecticut has a very effective law that physically prevents convicted drunken drivers from starting their car engines if the alcohol in their blood is above a level that would indicate their intention to drive drunk once again. The law requires convicted DUI offenders to install ignition interlock devices in the cars they own or use. The device includes a tube that the driver must blow into in order to measure his or her alcohol level. If the level is too high, the car won't start.
But the law also has a very big loophole in that it requires only those convicted of drunken driving two or more times to use the devices in their cars. Mothers Against Drunk Driving, which proposed the legislation nationwide, wants the Connecticut law fixed and expanded to require its mandatory use after the driver's first arrest.
There's a very good reason for this. Connecticut takes an extremely forgiving stance on first time drunken drivers, possibly in deference to young offenders and their families. It allows first offenders to enter into an alcohol education program that, if successfully completed, results in their record being expunged - unless or until, of course, they drive drunk again.
As the law is now written, first-time offenders don't have to use the ignition interlocks.
MADD would like to see the installation and use of the ignition interlock device to become part of that mandatory alcohol education program for these first-time offenders. This makes sense. The state is cutting these drunk drivers a break by a providing a second sense. It is reasonable to require them to use the interlock devices as an added tool encouraging sober driving.
The devices cost about $75 to install and require the user to pay a monitoring fee of $50 to $75 a month. Once the course is completed and their record is expunged, the devices would be removed.
Thanks to MADD, which, as its name indicates, was founded by parents who lost children in accidents caused by drunken driving, laws requiring the use of ignition interlock devices have been passed in all 50 states and 18 of them, but not Connecticut, have provisions for their use by all drunken drivers.
So why not close the loophole? First, there's a technical problem. This year's General Assembly short session is, in theory, at least, devoted only to budgetary matters, but exceptions have always been the rule for this rule. And we know how efficiently the legislature can move, even in its final hours of existence, to pass all kinds of laws, whether in regular or shortened sessions.
Michael Lawlor, the former legislative leader who is now the governor's undersecretary for criminal justice policy and planning, has doubts MADD will be able to change the law this session but he supports the idea. "The only issue is a practical one, whether the state agencies charged with enforcing it have the resources they need to do it properly," Mr. Lawlor told The New Haven Register.
DMV Commissioner Melodie Currey has testified that expanding the use of the interlock would require significant increases in financial and staffing resources but hasn't taken a position on the merits.
Bernard McLoughlin, MADD's state chairman, said he appreciates the cost considerations but suggests, rather sensibly, it appears to us, that the cost should be structured so that the financial burden is placed on the violators, rather than the taxpayers.
"What we're talking about here is saving lives versus saving dollars," said Mr. McLoughlin.
While true enough, such a change may also save dollars if it results in fewer emergency service calls for drunk-driving accidents and lower judicial costs. It makes sense to amend the law, if not in this session, then soon.

There was a time long ago when I took everything seriously on some other forums, needless to say I was a real ****ing ******* back then. Thankfully my temper simmered down by the time I returned to this site. Okay enough history, time for some more music.

First impressions and jewelry dreams
Sometimes first impressions go well, and sometimes not so much. However, it's in those first few moments of meeting someone, experiencing something new, that our vulnerability allows us to take it all in.

"As a trail runner, I have been on the lookout for a minimalist shoe that could handle the icy, snowy trails during the winter. The VIVOBAREFOOT Neo Trail may just be the perfect shoe for this."
"The VIVOBAREFOOT Neo Trail is an excellent all-around trail running shoe. It is rugged and protective while remaining exceptionally light and pliable for its genre. Its heavy lugged sole is aggressive enough to provide grip in all trail situations, while still providing an acceptable level of ground-perception that a minimalist runner needs to remain strong...and upright."

The sys admin's daily grind: phpLogCon
Using SQL to sift syslog data out of a database is an admittedly universal, but also fairly convoluted approach. phpLogCon, with its web interface, gives admins an easier option.
In last month's issue, I talked about RSyslog, a replacement for the syslog daemons. Instead of referencing the standard logfiles in /var/log, RSyslog works with one or multiple databases in which it logs local results or data supplied by remote servers. I always use one database, Maillog, for the mail facility, and a second database, syslog, for all other messages.
A couple of scripts extract statistics on spam filter performance from the Maillog DB.

I honestly love this TV. It does everything I could ask for & more. All at a great price! Great picture and quality. Light-weight. Lots of good features including watching .mp4, .avi and .mkv all from a USB drive. The browser is a nice addition, though of course this tv won't work on Flash based sites. The remote is a bit clunky for internet use but bookmarking sites helps considerably. Also I've only had to set up the WiFi connection once and it's been great ever since. Hulu, Netflix, HBO Go all stream with no problem. Cons: I was pleased to see it had some apps it could use though this model can only use a bare minimum from the Samsung library. I wish it would just filter out the ones it can't use vs showing me so many yet it can only open a couple. Clicking on them and waiting while it tried to load, then saying "Not compatible" was frustrating. I stopped trying after a while. I realize displaying just a couple of apps isn't as impressive but showing me all the apps that don't work is worse. Another con is that is gets VERY hot! Don't leave it on all day because it will make the room noticeably hotter. And if you have game consoles, keep them away from this television. My PS3 would occasionally shut off mid-game because the TV would cause it to over heat!!! I almost bought a new console until I realized it was the TV causing the problem. Now I have to put the console as far away as the cables will allow and have a fan blowing on it to try to help.

This is a 2014 model bought in 2014. Can't upgrade Flash player so I can't watch videos from many websites. Can't display videos from my PC on the TV using Samsung Smart View 2.0 because it doesn't work on the TV either. I would think most people use the Internet on their TVs to view videos so those capabilities are important. If you're looking for a TV that has features you expect it to have in 2014 this isn't the model for you. It's a 2014 model with 2013 technology and no foresight (or desire) to design some capability for a future upgrade. Samsung seems to think people change TVs as easy as a cell phone.

Great Tv
By gregmtn
from Williams,Az
The tv has amazing color and it sounds pretty good too.The processor is a bit slow to respond on the smart features. It does not like Netflix even support could not get it to work with wireless. You need to hard wire it first then after a few days the wireless will work. When watching netflix if you try to change ANY settings the tv will freeze up and you have to unplug it because nothing works, you can't even turn it off. The remote needs redesigning hard to find buttons. If not using netflix the tv is excellent with great color and plenty of adjustments for your viewing needs. The technical support people are great.For the money it's the best tv out there.Get a samsung blu-ray player with upscaling and then Netflix works great with no more freeze ups.

My older Samsung has a blue "on light" that indicated when I had turned the TV on. It also made a beep sound to indicate power on. This TV has no such indication and it takes some 20 seconds for anything to show. No problem but miss this feature.

Americans, it would appear, are becoming less and less generous.
At least that's one way to read a recent Gallup poll. Well, it's one way to read it if you're Christopher Flavelle, a columnist for Bloomberg. "New Gallup poll numbers show Americans increasingly dispute the idea that government has a responsibility to make sure everybody can get health insurance," he wrote. "It's tempting to see that as an indictment against Obamacare, but it might just mean more Americans are becoming jerks."
Now, I'm not familiar with Flavelle or his views. He might actually believe this. Or he might simply be trolling for attention and for page views. If that's the case, I guess it worked, because here I am writing about it. Maybe I'm just gullible.
Either way, Flavelle's column got me thinking about American generosity and the American psyche and the absurd notion that you somehow are a jerk if you don't think it is the duty of government to provide health care for everybody.
First, let's take a look at that Gallup poll. In the early 2000s, about two-thirds of the populace believed health care was government's responsibility. That number was down to 50 percent by 2010 and down to 42 percent this year. Of course, this decline was accompanied by a recession and by the fact that government-run health care suddenly was a reality rather than an ethereal concept.
Those kinds of things tend to change peoples' views. There's a difference between idealism and reality, as anybody who has attended college and then had to grow up can tell you.
Anyway, back to the poll. The survey showed that, since 2007, the number of Americans who thought government should guarantee every person enough to eat and a roof over their head fell from 69 percent to 59 percent.
This, to me, seems sensible rather than jerkish. And it illuminates one of the most fundamental political debates we have in this country. You see, just because people don't think government should guarantee food and shelter doesn't mean they believe others should go without. It means they believe that government isn't necessarily the most efficient vessel for delivering such basic needs.
The same goes for health care. As we have seen through the failures of a $600 million website, government sometimes screws things up. And it is able to do so with impunity minus the competition that is inherent in the free market.
Flavelle writes: "For Democrats, the challenge here goes well beyond defending an increasingly unpopular health care law. Their job now is finding a way to convince people that helping their neighbors is still worthwhile, even as the median voter becomes less likely to agree."
Finding middle ground
I disagree with that conclusion. Some of the most generous people I know are some of the most conservative. Not all of them, but the two concepts are far from mutually exclusive. The difference is that the conservatives believe in helping through private enterprises, through their churches, through their own time and money. They simply don't believe that government is the most efficient avenue for such assistance.
The extremes on both sides, of course, are misguided. Government must play an important role in public assistance; Social Security, to use one example, has been crucial in helping this country's most impoverished citizens for decades. Food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicare — these are hallmarks of a civilized society. At the same time, any notion that government alone should provide food and shelter for everybody is untenable. There's a difference between providing assistance and creating a disincentive for personal responsibility.
Nobody knows exactly where the line should be drawn; that's why we have politics. But in pondering this never-ending debate, and with all the remembrances of President Kennedy in recent days, I am drawn to one of his most famous quotes. "Ask not what your country can do for you," Kennedy said, "ask what you can do for your country." Christopher Flavelle probably would have called him a jerk.

The Chevrolet Express 3500 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the RAM ProMaster 1500.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Express 3500 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the RAM ProMaster 1500, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Chevrolet Express 3500 carries a much lower Destination Charge than the RAM ProMaster 1500.
The Chevrolet Express 3500 is a little narrower than the RAM ProMaster 1500, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Express 3500, which is slightly longer than the RAM ProMaster 1500.
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Express 3500 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the RAM ProMaster 1500.
The Chevrolet Express 3500 has a significantly smaller turning radius than the RAM ProMaster 1500, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
When considering towing capacity, the Chevrolet Express 3500 is clearly the choice over the RAM ProMaster 1500 for pulling heavy loads. The Chevrolet Express 3500 has a little less horsepower than the RAM ProMaster 1500.
The Chevrolet Express 3500 offers greater seating capacity than the RAM ProMaster 1500, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
The Chevrolet Express 3500 comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the RAM ProMaster 1500.
Compare the 2015 Chevrolet Express 3500 and the 2016 RAM ProMaster 1500.

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Joseph Eve (July 17, 1784-June 16, 1843), Kentucky legislator,
judge, and Charge d'a faires of the United States to the Republic
of Texas, was born in Culpeper County, Virginia. The facts
concerning Eve's life and ancestors are very meager. In the
genealogical records of Culpeper County mention is made of a
J. Eve, probably the grandfather of Joseph Eve, being awarded a
contract in 1743 to construct an addition to Little Fork Church.
Somewhat more adequate information is available regarding his
wife's family connections. Miss Betsy Withers Ballinger, whom
Joseph Eve married, probably in Kentucky, was a descendant of
an old well established family residing in Lancashire County,
England. Sir Thomas Wither served as a counsellor to Henry,
the first Duke of Lancaster, about 1248. The first member of
this family to settle in Virginia was John Withers,' who came to
America in the Merchants' Hope in 1634. Another member,
Thomas Withers, of this family settled at Kittery, Maine, in 1631.
The grandfather of Joseph Eve's wife from her father's side was
Joseph Ballinger, a Pennsylvania Quaker, who, with others, in-
cluding Morgan Bryan, Alexander Ross, James Wright, and Evan
Thoms, formed a company in 1730 for the purpose of settling
in Virginia and Maryland. These Quakers were granted 100,000
acres of land in the Shenandoah Valley. Four years later they
erected a meeting house in Virginia, and thereafter for a number
of years the Hopewell Monthly Meeting of Frederich flourished.
Joseph Ballinger first settled in Pittsylvania County and later
removed to Amherst County, Virginia, where he spent the re-
mainder of his life. He and his brother, Richard, married sisters,
Tansy and Dolly Franklin. Joseph Ballinger's son Richard took
as his first wife Elizabeth ("Betsy") Jennings, one of the ten
children of William and Betsy (Withers) Jennings, who married
in Garrard County, Kentucky, December 25, 1764. One of Richard
lit has been impossible to determine definitely when the letter "s" was
added to the surname.

How to Make Your Own Guinea Pig Cage
How to make a temporary guinea pig carrier. This carrier is not to be used as an actual cage - guinea pig cages must have at least 7.5 square feet of floor space.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Find a big cardboard box. Make sure it's nice and big, otherwise your guinea pig(s) will not have much room to move around.
2Cut holes (just about big enough for your fingers to fit in) near the top of the box. Make sure there is heaps, this allows light into the box.
3Place newspaper in bottom of box, then cover with old towel or piece of fleece.
4Put some timothy hay on the fleece, this will provide some snacking/chewing material for when your pigs get bored
5Also, add some of your guinea pig's favourite toys!

|This video shows a guinea pig cage that is made out of storage cubes and coroplast. It's easy to make and cheap.
- Please note, this can NOT be a permanent home for the guinea pigs. Take them out of there a lot and give them some time to play with you & run around somewhere.
- This type of box could be used for travel, but most certainly not as a permanent home. Your pig will feel cramped and it can lead to stress or illness.
- The box is quite handy, as you can easily close the lid and transport your guinea pigs. Remember, the box is not for your guinea pigs to stay in.

The best example of community cooperation we have ever seen has been and still is happening in Rolling Hills, north and slightly west of Amarillo.
A much-needed widening and improving of North Western Street has necessitated a detour that directs significant traffic through Rolling Hills, much of it in the Rolling Hills Elementary School zone. Some detoured drivers exceed the 30-mph speed limit, causing considerable concern to many Rolling Hills residents.
The problem was reported to Potter County Sheriff Mike Shumate and to various media representatives. The response was almost immediate.
The sheriff's department implemented extra patrols.
A reminder trailer sign ("Speed Limit Is ... You Are Going ...) was placed on the detour route, and warning and/or speeding tickets have been issued to violators.
The media willingly became involved; the problem received TV and newspaper coverage.
The result is that a potentially bad situation so far has been avoided. Continued diligence will be required by everyone.
This is a wonderful example of what can be done when people care and work together.
A special thanks is directed to concerned citizens, elected public officials and cooperative media.

I understand retailers' opening at midnight to get an advantage over other stores, but in doing so, the stores show no regard to employees. These people got little sleep since they spent time with family on Thanksgiving Day, I'm sure they weren't thankful for opening the store at midnight since they had to show up even earlier. Retailers need to respect their workers and give them an entire day off. Shoppers will buy the same items if they opened at 6 a.m. Let us think of others and give them a break and stop shopping at midnight.

Thanks in advance,
First off:
div#content a:hover {display: inline; background-color: black; color: #FC6;}
Secondly: The reason that I have the display: block; is because there is a list of links in the content area that I want listed.
Should I wrap those links in another div like this:

 and then use the above list and change the name from:
div#content a {}
div#content a:visited {}
div#content a:hover {}
div#contentmenu a {}
div#contentmenu:visited {}
I will give that a try and see what happens.
Does it look like I am heading in the right direction?

So basically you want them on seperate lines? Either use the
 tag or go with the list(thats what theyre for :)).
I would use the list method.
Also  are inline elements so you dont need display:inline; in your style sheet unless you are cancelling out some inheritence.
