THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Dunkin' Donuts Restaurant Review: Not far from Bushnell Park, this popular chain serves up all the childhood favorites (remember vanilla cream-filled?) But in these sophisticated times, the shop sells more than chocolate-iced and honey-glazed, they also offer bagels with cream cheese as well as about half a dozen kinds of muffins, including low-fat and fat-free varieties. The coffee, always good and strong, even comes in designer flavors like hazelnut and vanilla cream.

Update 7/28/14: Rescued by Pryor's Planet!
A stunning, three-year-old German shepherd dubbed "Hanley," is confused over the loss of his home. The dog was picked up as a stray on July 7 and taken to the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facility in Baldwin Park, Calif. Not long after his stray hold was up, Hanley managed to get adopted.
Unfortunately, the person who adopted Hanley did not give him much of a chance to settle in and show his true colors...just one day after he was adopted, his new owner returned him.
Owner surrendered dogs are not given the same amount of time as stray dogs...Hanley needs a helping hand to walk free from the facility.
The first time this handsome boy was impounded at the animal control facility, shelter volunteers took a video of him and sang his praises...he was noted to be attentive, eager to please, alert and sweet.
The volunteers also made the observation that Hanley is underweight and confused. German shepherds thrive in the company of "their person," and it comes as no surprise that this dog is upset to be sitting alone in a kennel run, surrounded by the barks of other confused and agitated dogs.
Please take a moment to network this handsome boy's information:
- Petharbor link for Hanley here
- Los Angeles County Animal Control - Baldwin Park at (626) 962-3577
- Facebook thread here
- Please direct all inquiries about this dog to the facility where he is being held; ask for information about animal ID number A4730643
- Estimated age 3 years

Employment Notice Regarding filling up of posts in District Courts Mansa and Faridkot
Cause List of District Courts are available. For details Click: District Name-> Cause List
Before the time of His Highness Maharaja Karm Singh, the administrative and judicial work of the State was in the hands of the thanadars( faujdars of the Ain-i-Akbari), the collectors of revenue (ugraha) being under them. There was no treasury and no court. In each pargana there was a thanadar, and in Sunam and Patiala proper there were kotwals. Their decisions in civil and criminal cases were final. Claims and offences, of whatever nature, were disposed of after verbal enquiry. No record of evidence was made and no judgement prepared. Final orders were given by word of mouth. The people acquisced in the decisions and seldom appealed to the Diwan or Wazir. There was no regular law in force; the customs and usages of the country were followed in deciding cases and had the force of law. The panchayat system was generally in vogue, and boundary disputes specially were referred to arbitration. The administering of oaths (nem) to the litigants was a great factor in bringing cases to an amicable settlement. The offenders were generally fined, but habitual and grave offenders were imprisoned without and fixed term of years and were released at the pleasure of the presiding officer. In murder cases the offender's relations were ordered to pay the price of blood to the heirs of the deceased by offering either a nata (female relative in marriage) or some culturable land or some cash, and thus to bring about an amicable settlement of the case; otherwise the perpetrator was hanged, generally on a kikkar tree, in some conspicuous place where the corpse was left hanging for many days. Barbarous punishments, such as maiming and mutilation, were in force to some extent. Sometimes the face, hands and feet, of an offender were blackened and he was proclaimed by best of drum, mounted on a donkey through the streets of the city. (for detailed account vide 'History of Patiala', by Khalifa Sayyid Muhammad Hasan, Prime Minister, Patiala State.)
Maharaja Karm Singh began the work of reform by appointing an Adalti (Judicial Minister), but no line of demarcation was drawn between his powers and those of thanadars. Orders in criminal cases were still given verbally, but in civil cases files were made and judgements written. Cases of proprietorship in land were decided by the Adalati, though they were transferred subsequently to the Diwan. During the time of Maharaja Narinder Singh five nizamats were marked off and Nazims appointed to each. One tahsil comprised two thanas, and sixteen Tahsildars were appointed, who, in addition to their revenue work, dealt with criminal and civil cases. His Highness introduced a Manual of Criminal Law, "The Law of Sambat 1916," for the guidance of criminal courts. In most respects it was similar to the Indian Penal Code. In the reign of Maharaja Mohinder Singh, Tahsildars were deprived of their judicial and criminal powers and two Naib-Nazims were appointed in each nizamat to decide civil and criminal cases and superintend the police. A Code of Civil Procedure, compiled from the British Indian Act VII of 1859 and Act XXIII of 1861 with suitable modifications, was introduced, which is still in force. (for detailed account vide 'History of Patiala', by Khalifa Sayyid Muhammad Hasan, Prime Minister, Patiala State.)
The courts of original jurisdiction as they stand at the present day have already been described. A Tahsildar can give three months' imprisonment and Rs.25 fine, and a Nazim three years' imprisonment and Rs.1,000 fine. Appeals from the courts of Tahsildars and Naib Nazims all go to the Nazim. The Nazim is a Sessions Judge with power to pass sentence of 14 years' imprisonment and Rs.1,000 fine. From the Nazim's decisions appeals lie to the Adalati in civil and criminal and to the Diwan in revenue cases, with further appeals to the Chief Court and the Ijlas-i-Khas (the Court of the Maharaja). At the capital there is a Magistrate and a Civil Judge with Naib Nazim's powers of a Nazim. The Chief Court may pass any sentence authorised by law. Capital punishment and imprisonment for life however need the confirmation of the Ijlas-i-khas. In murder cases the opinion of the Sadr Ahlkars is taken before the sentence is confirmed. Special jurisdiction in criminal cases is also exercised by certain officials. The Foreign Minister has the powers of a Nazim in cases where one party or both are not subjects of Patiala, Jind or Nabha. Appeals lie to the Chief Court. Cases under the Telegraph and Railway Acts are decided by an officer of the Foreign Department subject to appeal to the Foreign Minister. Certain Canal and Forest Officers have magisterial powers in cases falling under Canal and Forest Acts, and the Inspector General of Police exercise similar powers in respect of cases which concern the police. During the Settlement operations the Settlement Officers are involved with powers to decide revenue cases with an appeal to the Settlement Commissioner.
Powers of revision (nigrani) can be exercised by the Adalati and the Sessions Courts; review (nazarsani) by the Chief Court and Ijlas-i-Khas only.
The Indian Penal Code is enforced without modifications. The Criminal Procedure Code (Act V of 1898) is enforced with some modifications of which the most important are given below. No court is invested with summary powers. In Sessions cases no jury or assessors are chosen. Special regulations have been made for the trial of cases of contempt of court, which offence is made to include cases falling under the following sections of the Indian Penal Code-175, 178, 179, 180, 228. The Civil Procedure Code differs in many points that of British India. There is no bar to appeals on the ground of the value of the suit. All civil suits, of whatever value, are heard in the first instance by the Naib Nazims, and in Patiala City by the Civil Judge.
Suits, civil or criminal, to which the jagridars of Khamanon are a party, are headed by the Naib-Nazim, and revenue suits by the Tahsildar, but the appeals lie to the Foreign Minister. Hindu or Muhammadan Law is frequently followed in civil and revenue suits. For an account of the Revenue Law see page 145.A few members of the following tribes are addicted to the crimes noted against each :-
The following are the regular "criminal tribes" with the offences to which each is specially addicted:-
Cases of murder, adultry and seduction are not very common. Civil litigation is increasing. Petty cases are fought out to the bitter end, and the parties suborn witnesses freely to support their claims. On this subject the provincial philosophy of the people is not silent, and some common sayings are given below:--
Gannian de chor nu jutian di mar ---'For a man who steals sugarcane, shoe-beating is enough.' The way of witness is shown in Tobe de mute da gawah daddu'---'A frog is the witness as to making water in a tank'; Ape main rajji pujji ape mere bachche jiwan--'God may bless me, my sons may live long'; chacha chor, bhatija kazi---'The uncle the thief, the nephew the judge'; Ram Ram Japna praya mal apna,--'Those who mutter Ram Ram, misappropriate the property of others; Munh sadh da ankhian chor dian---'The face is the face of a saint, the eyes are those of a thief'; Surat momnan kartut kafran--'His face is that of a saint, the eyes are those of a thief'; Man dhian gawan valian bap put janeti 'The mother and daughter are the singers and the father and son are the members of marriage procession'; Ghar ke dhadi, ghar ke dhol---'The drummers and drums are our own'; 'Choran da mal lathian de gaz---'The thieves clothes are measured by staves.'
There is no formal Registration Act in force in the State. Registration is, however, effected on two-rupee impressed sheets. Deeds relating to monetary transactions and inhabited houses are registered in the sadr by the Civil Judge and in the mofussil by the Naib Nazims. There are no special Registrars or Sub Registrars. Where the deeds relate to the sale or mortgage of agricultural land, registration is taken by the Tahsildars. A copy of the registered deed is kept in the office of registration, and the original, duly certified, returned to the presenter.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
The Serrated Knife is the BEST knife you will ever use.
October 7, 2013
I bought the set at target but just for the serrated knife alone it was worth it. I have never found another knife that works as efficiently or as delicately as this 5" beauty. From onions to delicate tomatoes -WORTH IT. The only knife I use in my kitchen. Ive had it for 4 years. Looking to buy a replacement if i can find it.
Cons:Hard to find in stores!

Is there anything worse than awkwardly running into your ex when they're with their new flame? Especially when your hair isn't done, you're wearing your fat pants, and you've spent the past week locked inside your bedroom inhaling tubs of Baskins-Robbins and watching Real Housewives marathons on Bravo. Korean vocal trio Gavy NJ know all about the pain of a post-breakup collision, so much so that they've themed their new single, "Pretty," around the whole humiliating ordeal. The music video for the depressing ballad, while a little on the cheap side, does a fine job of capturing the gut-twisting misery of discovering that your ex has moved on while you're stuck at home turning into an obese cat lady.
If you're up for some second-hand embarrassment and reliving a few painful past memories, then check out a play-by-play breakdown of the uncomfortable video, below.
Damien may have dumped me and left me as a brokenhearted shell of my former self, but that was, like, a whole month ago now. It's time for me to get back out into the world and start enjoying life again!
Yay, a claw machine. Winning one of these cute stuffed toys will cheer me up. Maybe if I get one big enough, I can snuggle up to it and pretend that it's Damien …
Yes! Plush puppy for the win! Just a little bit further and he's mine …
After getting screwed over by that shady claw, I have no choice but to turn to junk food for comfort. I know I shouldn't be eating this stuff, but I'll only grab a few small things …
This should be enough to get me through the night. If I run out, I can always come back later.
Oh yeah. This ice cream is soooo good. Sure tastes better than any man ever could. Come to mama, baby, 'cause I'm gon' eat you up!
Oh no. Tell me I have NOT just run into Damien …
… AND his new GIRLFRIEND …
Okay, girl — play it cool. You don't want them to know that they've rattled you.
"Hey! Great to see you! You're looking simply marvelous. Becky, is it? Wonderful to meet you. Yes, the weather is beautiful today, isn't it?"
"I'm in a rush right now, but I'll call you this week for a catchup? Yes, I'm supposed to be at lunch with my boyfriend and I'm running late. His name? Uh … his name is … Eduardo … Corrochio. He's a matador."
What's this? Damien always told me that he hated PDA, yet here he is with his arm all over stupid Becky and her stupid shoulders. Not that I care.
Choc-nut swirl, you're the only friend I have left in this world. And I'm still going to eat you.
Waaaaaa, who am I trying to kid? This is the worst day of my life! Actually, the second worst after the day TVXQ split.
Forever alone.

TC TO JOHN STUART MILL; 10 November 1837; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18371110-TC-JSM-01; CL 9:350.
Chelsea, Friday Morning [10 November 1837].
My dear Mill,
Here is the Letter you consented to take charge of. The scratch of an Honourable Member's pen will make a heart glad on the morrow this time; more than can be always said of Members' pens.
In reference to what we talked of yesterday, I answer that for the present it seems to me I must do this Life of Scott, and leave the rest to take what settlement it can. Pray send me the First volume therefore; I have all the rest hitherto published: I mean to begin on Monday morning.— If you chanced to fall into any possibility of getting me these Books of Crockett's they would be very welcome to me; I am not sure but something good might be made of them.1
Pray come back soon, and let us have some speech; there pass many days without one day in them so good as yesterday. Wherefore? Therefore!—
Ever faithfully /

I have started learning about C# and I come to what is called 'Automatic memory management' or 'Garbage collectors' and I'm wondering if Java contains something like this as well? and if it does, does it do that as effective as C# when it comes to windows desktop application and web applications?
Java is a garbage collected language though the collection model is different than C#'s. Effectiveness would vary considerably depending on the structure of the program but Java does run just fine on Windows and the Web.
Yes, the algorithm used by the Microsoft's 'Common Language Runtime' is known as the Mark-Compact Algorithm. I also read that the Java Runtime uses this as well. Also, if you run into any other C# vs Java sort of comparison like questions, this document may be of interest. A Comparison of Microsoft's C# Programming Language To Sun Microsystems' Java Programming Language, By Dare Obasanjo.
Yes, Java does have garbage collection and "effective" is a relative term hard to judge without some more specific criteria.

Mwanza — The Agriculture Council of Tanzania (ACT) has named the Prime Minister, Mr Mizengo Pinda. 'Champion of Kilimo Kwanza' for 2014.
ACT Board Chairman, Dr Sinare Yusuf Sinare said here in Mwanza following the closure of the Nane Nane exhibition in the Lake Zone that the Premier is recognised for his contribution towards the agricultural sector since he assumed office.
Premier Pinda, according to Dr Sinare, succeeds President Jakaya Kikwete who won the award in 2012. He said both leaders have demonstrated a true commitment in boosting agriculture in the country.
"The Prime Minister has indeed been actively involved in the development of the agriculture sector and it is no wonder he is called 'Son of a farmer' noted Dr Sinare.
Dr Sinare added that Mr Pinda has become a dedicated farmer as records show he has a number of quality farms where he cultivates various crops.
Dr Sinare said as soon as he was appointed to office, Mr Pinda initiated the establishment of the Agricultural Sector Development Programme (ASDP) and the Green Revolution campaign in six regions.
Other initiatives include the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) an inclusive, multi-stakeholder partnership, and laying emphasis on free markets for farmers. The Premier championed the use of technology in agriculture that led to the importation of powered tillers.
"The Prime Minister pushed hard for the establishment of the Agricultural Bank still in the offing. As a result of all his initiatives, we are proud of him," he said.
The Premier accepting the award said Tanzanians must think beyond subsistinence farming and engage in modern agricultural practices by embracing.
He challenged youth to venture in the sector and do away with the myth that agriculture is a punishment. He urged both educated and uneducated youth to change their mindsets and view the sector as a money making venture.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Gov. Haley Barbour on Thursday applied for $98 million in federal funds to help cash-strapped school districts, but again urged them to save the money until next year.
The funds are part of $26 billion approved by Congress in August to help states fund education and other services that have been hit hard by the slowdown in tax collections.
The $98 million is one of two pots of money the state is receiving through the federal package. Called job funds, the $98 million is designed to retain or rehire school personnel, particularly teachers, who have lost jobs because of current budget woes.
The other pot of money comes from a reduction in how much the state has to pay to draw federal Medicaid funds. The new rate means money previously earmarked for the Medicaid match is freed for other areas.
The 2010 Legislature, with the governor's agreement, had designated $82 million of that money for local school districts for the current year. But now Barbour says the money freed up by the enhanced federal Medicaid match will be saved for the next fiscal year.
The governor can save that money, but the school districts have discretion on when to spend the jobs funds.
"To the extent they need to use that money for this year, they should use it," state House Education Chair Cecil Brown, D-Jackson said.
Some fear that the 2011 Legislature and governor will count the jobs funds as part of the appropriation for the school districts for the upcoming fiscal year. Then if they spend the money this year, the districts will be in a hole.
Brown said he would oppose efforts to count the federal jobs funds as part of their 2012 appropriation.
Senate Appropriations Chair Alan Nunnelee, R-Tupelo, expecting a tough budget year, said saving the money would be "the wise thing for school districts to do." But, he said, "As for how to count that money for 2012, I think it is premature to consider that."
Pete Smith, a spokesman for the state Department of Education, said the funds will be disbursed based on the Adequate Education Formula, which is used to distribute most state funds to the schools. Plus, the districts will get the funds as they spend them.
The districts are underfunded more than $230 million for the current year.

It would be a truly tragic loss if he hadn't already left us with so much, and for so long. Singer and activist Pete Seeger died over the weekend at 94, less than one year after his wife Toshi. They were married in 1943 and shared a home in the Hudson Valley region of New York, and had four children.
Seeger wrote and performed the songs "Turn, Turn, Turn," "If I had a hammer" and popularized "This Land Is Your Land" and "We Shall Overcome."
Seeger kept performing, stayed strong, and remained active in political and environmental issues right up until the end of his life. His grandson told reporters Seeger was chopping wood ten days before he died.
Jim Romenesko got to reveal what Seeger called "the worst damn thing" to happen to America: Sports pages.
"Michael Norman, who was the Cleveland Plain Dealer's pop music critic from 1992 to 1999, shared this Pete Seeger anecdote on Facebook:
"I interviewed Pete Seeger in 1996, right before he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"When I called, he was late coming to the phone because he was out chopping wood. He was in his late 70s then, but an exercise fanatic. We had a great interview about music, politics, history, life. And when it was over, he asked me whether I enjoyed working in journalism. I said I did. And then he scolded me.
"Worst damn thing that ever happened to America was the invention of the Sports pages!," he said. "Turned us all into a nation of watchers and couch potatoes!"
"I protested a bit, blaming it on TV. And he wouldn't have it. "It all started with you guys in the newspapers!" That was Peter Seeger. He was such an uncompromising, but lovable character. One of the great artists, activists and souls of the 20th Century."
So be more like Pete: ride your bike and don't care so much about sports. Go chop some wood and change the world. Or sing a song and change your immediate environment.
For an almost sepia-toned view of vintage Seeger, check out this clip from the Johnny Cash show, in which the Man in Black expresses wonderment at Seeger's ability to play his hundred-year-old fretless banjo (his machine that kills fascists).

Laptop Battery Maintenance Guide0
Laptop Battery Maintenance Guide
Battery is a consumable with a limited life span, most manufacturers warranty for the laptop battery battery time for three months to one year, Dell is to follow the industry standard one-year limited warranty. For the battery, the correct use and proper storage, is the ability to significantly extend laptop battery battery life.
First, the battery of the Key Points.
1. Why use an external power supply, can be won without the battery?
(1) the motherboard chip to prevent overcharging. When the battery charge to 100%, the charge control chips (FET) will stop charging the battery. We do not have to worry about damage to the battery.
(2) BIOS battery connector will avoid loss of information.
(3) to prevent a sudden power loss of data. 2. Prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of chemical liquids, avoid contact with metal objects touch the battery short circuit, etc. happen.
2. Long-term need notebooks, how to save the battery? We will face a period of time not to use laptop battery, the battery should be kept fully charged, or to be discharged save electricity?
Optical long-term preservation will put batteries lose their activity, and even lead to the control circuit protection self-locking and can not re-use, full power will bring long-term preservation security risks, the best method is to save about 40% of electricity used and then stored in cool dry place, about 20 degrees Celsius is the ideal storage temperature. Of course, take the battery out every month with the best time, the battery can ensure a good state of preservation, but not so for the loss of damage to the battery power completely.
How to View the Dell battery? (The D610 battery, for example)
Remove the battery, press the battery symbol, you can see the situation of five battery status lights. Two consecutive light, representing 40% of the electricity. Representative of the whole light power is sufficient, if the 135 light, the battery is damaged.
Second, how to extend laptop battery battery as much as possible the work time?
Screen brightness reduced. How to adjust the brightness using the laptop battery battery, power press F2, enter in the BIOS to adjust the Video Brightness item.
Or use the fn + down / up key combination to quickly adjust the brightness.
3. For details, please refer to older BIOS: http://support1.ap.dell.com/cn/zh/forum/thread.asp?fid=25&tid=45151
(1) Open the CPU speedstep feature can greatly extend the battery's working time; Cpu's speedstep BIOS function is enabled by default. When using the battery, cpu will automatically down-use to save energy. If not enabled, please start by F2, into the BIOS to find Performance, set Speedstep Enable to Enabled. (Old BIOS is the Alt + P to the sixth page, modify the intel speedstep)
(2) The use of standby, sleep and other functions. As a long time without a computer battery, allowing notebook standby or hibernate, saving power and prolong the life of the computer battery. (Tip: Make sure video card drivers installed successfully, the power management options can be set.)
In the WINDOWS program in the power management settings, we generally can be set to "Portable / Laptop" (Portable / Laptop).
Also suggest that you will use the battery, turn off the monitor waiting time is set to 5 minutes, so that when we do not operate in the notebook for some time, it will be black screen directly, so other than the screen saver is running to be more energy-efficient.
(3) in the use of batteries, try to turn off the wireless, Bluetooth and infrared ports.Remove peripherals when not in use at the same time and to avoid opening large 3D programs, games, etc., to reduce unnecessary battery consumption.

Notebook Upgrade Guide with Corsair SSD Upgrade Kit and Vengeance Memory25
Today I'm upgrading my Alienware laptop with Corsair's 240GB Force 3 Notebook Upgrade Kit and 8GB of Vengeance DDR3 SO-DIMM 1866 MHz Memory. This video is part guide and part review, and is focussed towards viewers that maybe aren't sure about what to do. It may not be very interesting to my current subscriber base but I want TastyPC to help as wide an audience as possible. This is the first video I've done of this nature so I know there's lots of room to improve. I forgot to mention that adding a SSD to your notebook/laptop also increases your battery life and you don't have to worry about losing data if you drop it. I know it's an Alienware, and therefore likely to break or disintegrate at any moment, but I didn't want to make this video an anti-Alienware rant. Please try not to comment/rate based on the Alienware laptop, it's really not the focus of the video. Thanks Prices: (rough at time of upload) Corsair Force 3 Notebook SSD Upgrade Kit : 240GB Kit = £170 120GB Kit = £90 Vengeance Memory: 1866MHz = £70 1600MHz = £40 Please subscribe: www.youtube.com Facebook page: www.facebook.com Thanks for watching.

Dear Hyapatia
I have been going with a man for several years. He was divorced a few years ago and recently I have started talking to his ex. I am finding out all kinds of things I didn't know. Like, before she cheated on him, he cheated on her. They even went to couples counseling to try and get past it. I am finding out that he is a liar and a cheat and I don't think this is the person for me. He has always told me I shouldn't talk to her, now I think I know why. He didn't want me to find out all these things. He even had their son taken away from her by saying in court that she smoked pot and grew it. He doesn't smoke now, but he used to. I smoke and I have three children from my ex-husband. I don't want him to rat me out. Now I find out that his ex even gave pot to his dad and brother, but he still snitched on her in court. I love this man, but I think I am finding out about the real man I have been with and not the one he wants me to think he is. What should I do?
Dear Nichole,
Provided that most of what you've told me is true, I think I would dump him as quickly as you can before he decides to stab you in the back, too! Someone who snitches like that, to separate a mother and child, is the lowest scum of the earth and certainly cannot be trusted. You should consider changing your phone number and leaving no forwarding address just to be safe. I wish you luck!!!
My girlfriend likes to get really stoned before sex -- so stoned that she just lies there. She is wasted. I want her to be more involved in our lovemaking, but she says she wants to get really stoned before we do it every time. I've started to think that maybe she doesn't really enjoy sex and feels she has to get wasted to do it. She has never really been that sexual in bed. I have always felt like I couldn't please her. I don't think she has ever really had an orgasm. What should I do? I don't want to have sex with a zombie anymore. Don't get me wrong, I smoke my share of weed, that's for sure. And I don't mind her getting high, too. In fact, I like it better when my girlfriends smoke with me. I just don't want her to get so stoned she doesn't enjoy sex, you know?
Dear Jason,
It could be that the weed that is making her space out. Also, some women have been through some trauma that makes them overdo it as a habit, in order to cope with what happened in the past. Of course, I can't say if this is the case with her or not. If she doesn't enjoy sex as much as she could, maybe you could ask her what it is that she likes in sex. Does she like it when you go down on her? Does she like having her clitoris rubbed and massaged? Speaking of massage, a good rubdown before sex will relax her. Maybe she'll feel free to enjoy it all the more. Candles and incense can all add to the mood considerably. And for women, they really put us in the mood to let ourselves go. If none of this helps, she may want to investigate some self-help books or therapy. Or watch some x-rated movies!! When we watch others enjoying sex naturally, we feel more accepted for experiencing the depth of our sexuality. I recommend you stick to couples films. They're easy to find. Certain companies specialize in films for couples. These have plots, characters and are made for women to enjoy just as much as men. I'm almost sure this will help.
Dearest Hyapatia,
I love sex, and after a good romp, I'm always abnormally hungry. I mean ravenous! I could eat a whole cow, I swear! What is wrong with me? I don't feel this way after exercising or after work or any other time. Have you ever heard of anyone having this problem? Through the years, my girlfriends have found it funny and curious. Doctors also chuckle and shrug it off, but I'm seriously concerned. Do you think this is some kind of eating disorder?
Dear Barry,
Actually, I have heard of this before, but I've never heard a diagnosis. Personally, I think it may have something to do with hormones. When we come, several hormones are released, like oxytocin and serotonin. Our pituitary and thyroid glands are sensitive little buggers that send out signals with these hormones. Sometimes, these signals get kinda crossed. Nothing to worry about -- no life threatening issues -- but I think this may have something to do with it. Your body knows you have used a lot of energy and need to replenish it, as well as your sperm count. Do you crave meat? Guys I know who've had this hunger after sex usually crave meat. The body craves protein to re-up your mojo. It's all probably quite natural.
Dear Hyapatia,
I saw your letter from someone wanting help with anal sex. My boyfriend and I have been using a lubricant made from cannabis. I won't say the brand name. I'm sure there are others that are just as good. It really relaxes my muscles and lets my boyfriend slip his cock in with no pain at all! In fact, I really enjoy it. I hope this helps!
Dear Carla,
Thank you so much for the info! I'm sure this will help many people. I appreciate your taking the time to write in and let other people know about your success in the bedroom.

Midday, Wednesday January 22, President Barack Obama held a press conference and signed paperwork to initiate a 90 day task force after revealing a report on findings regarding college age sex assault. This is his memorandum, http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/01/22/memorandum-establi...
Here is a copy of the PDF explaining the current findings and focus that preceded the memorandum. http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/sexual_assault_report...
Valerie Jarrett, an attorney is the Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls, the http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/cwg/who/leadership group which is responsible for managing the 90 day discussion working to formulate a plan for this information. Below is her contact information for social media, and a recent post from her. https://twitter.com/vj44
Valerie Jarrett @vj4420h
Today POTUS signed a Presidential Memorandum creating the WH Task Force on Protecting Students from Sexual Assault: http://ow.ly/sQBudhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/cwg
The other three women under her are :
Tina Tchen Attorney , JD
Avra Seigel Master of Public Administration
Sarah Hurwitz, Speech Writer, JD
So top of the list are three attorneys and one public administrator.
It isn't really clear who will be consulted to bring forward additional related information, or if the study is only to focus on the above PDF as the pinnacle information.
Here are some things this writer, a retired professional clinician in mental health and addictions family therapy would like the group to bring forward as part of the discussion.
So here are some problems this writer is aware of:
1.) There is no national standard for report documentation or for the process of investigation of sexual assault of any age person.
2.) The CDC ( Center for Disease Control) , nor the WHO ( The World Health Organization) nor most public health departments are involved in the process of measuring the effectiveness of information collections processes, staff who do this work, outcomes in systems or law enforcement or court outcomes.
3.) Survivors of sex assault do not come forward because often the processes of sex assault reporting and processing are murky, or random.
4.) Victims have an equal chance of being blamed for the assault in most systems of response, either by law or by process.
5.) A recent Philadelphia addictions ( Narcotics Anonymous 60th Anniversary Conference) conference symposium noted that the process of most investigative questioning includes two things.
One is A.) entire system of questioning that bypasses knowledge of how a victim CAN think or CAN recall data are employed with regularity. This is counter-intuitive for the victim. This would immediately cause a failed report, because the interviewee could not possibly know that, could not and should not be asked to recall data in a way that requires them to reorder their thinking to match the interviewer's taste or desire, and that automatically skunks the interviewee. People in crisis need to be listened to, and supported to share what they can.
B.) That the investigative interviewer has the option to make up their mind about the interviewee independent of the facts presented, or any bio-psycho-social assessment of the problem at hand, therefore making the interviewer's PERSONAL opinion greater than any fact of a first hand observer. This backdoor approach leads also to the interfering influence of anyone who wishes to interject or subjugate the interviewee to get a desired outcome.
C.) Most systems employing interviewers don't require a professional license that would support ethics in interviewing, respecting the bio-psycho-social aspects of the victim and any other limitations, like intelligence, medical compromise or learning disabilities, mental health or cultural limitations or the interviewee or interview process.
6..) Systems Induced Traumas can be what happens to the person who is the reporting party, (be it the exact victim and or the family who accompanies) them when the process is mishandled and they are victimized once, or repeatedly by poor system management of the problem. Things like repeat interviewing ( which is supposed to be illegal but the victim has to hire an attorney to process this), interference with evidence, reporting or investigations ( again, this is supposed to be illegal, but the victim is expected to hire an attorney to process this). Harassment, instruction to remove, dilute or recant testimony. Problems getting proper aid. Being asked to pay for the assault care. Being refused a rape kit. Rape kits not being processed in a timely manner.
7.) Systems Induced Traumas, if accompanied by a failed or no start for investigation, are then often followed by infinite jeopardy. Indefinite jeopardy is when the victim or family are held responsible for the failed report, investigation or for the whole incident. That is not to say that the victim could never be responsible, but this is surfacing at a rate, when considered with #5 is HIGHLY concerning to most providers and families. www.examiner.com/article/use-of-contractors-unmonitored-unfettere...
Infinite jeopardy means that there is no protective action, and the perpetrator may even end up in charge of the victim, without the situation ever being assessed. Risk, abuse and death can ensue. This issue is not just for college aged females, but consider how many people may never have reported, or cases failed due to poor processing of complaint. Besides the potential of PTSD, this risk of reverberating acts against the victim,victim blaming, slut shaming, bad parenting, whatever you want to call it can boomerang back again and again. Failed child sex assault investigations cannot be resurrected, and the child may be placed with the perpetrator as primary caregiver. This is happening with increasing frequency.
Oklahoma has a law that #SWTW cautioned against, that a man can rape and impregnate a woman and ultimately gain control over the child. #SarahElizondo case has enough traits for the general public to get the picture. http://www.examiner.com/article/little-oklahoma-sarah-gone-to-california
Supreme Court yesterday, in their first child porn restitution case identified that reimbursement for a survivior is appropriate, but shouldn't be random. That person, who happens to be a woman, is faced life long with people bringing up images over which she had no control. An assault, victimization, re-victimization in a social context and now re-victimization in the court (s)? She is having indefinite jeopardy from the assault, and from the attempt to get justice.
8.) CDC and WHO or public health departments not necessarily involved in development of assessments and investigations or their success.This writer spoke with a higher up with CDC who deals with studies of personal injury stats, documentations and attempts at repairs and he said that he has never had the question of structure of reporting, success of reporting, success of measures and success or effectiveness of investigations come across his desk.Whether an issue of dollars, or purview or interest that this has not been studied is unclear.
9.) But the White House Committee above is focused by attorneys, and women.
10.) Where is the voice of understanding the offender, and what preventions from that aspect might be made of? There has been no mention of resources previously given like Atlanta's Gene Abel MD, who measures and studies extensively sex offenders, discovered and undiscovered. Dr. Abel is a gem, and untapped resource for people who think this problem is of a social more in nature. Getting the facts on the layers that make this really complex and requiring care are pretty important. Even a rudimentary review of this information http://www.ussc.gov/Legislative_and_Public_Affairs/Public_Hearings_and_M... shows possible reflections Dr. Abel could offer a discussion like this, and plans for reply.
11.) It is easier to report a bad burger and get a clear direct process of response and protections than it is to file a sex assault complaint.
a.)Noone asks the public to get an attorney or to "make sure".
b.)Noone says the consumer could, should be or is charged for introducing the complaint.
c.) Noone says the public has to contact the related public systems ( city, county, state, fed, public and private are often involved in reporting sex assault, with an average of 8-13 groups a victim and family may have to have contact with, not to mention change in staff within the groups)
12.) With a bad burger, there are immediate medical protocols followed. This is uniform, it tracks a variety of data and provides a profile over time, with timely collected samples. Everyone gets this, and everyone cooperates.
13.)Until the US looks at sex assault of any age person as a public health menace, the issue will be lost in culturally looking the other way, morality fluff, legal jargon that protects perps, systems investigations that are murky and in the end perpetuate the problem.
14.) In reality, because measures and processes are so poor ( by mismatch or otherwise), there is an excellent possibility that sex assault numbers are much higher than the public realizes.
15.) If that information is rolled back further to understand that the highest incidence of child sex assault is in the five and under crowd, that changes the discussion some more. IF those numbers too are wrong for the same reason, that would be even more concerning
16.) A national magazine in the last 5 years showed that teen pregnancy Fathers who are teens, are sex abuse victim unidentified. http://www.victimsofcrime.org/media/reporting-on-child-sexual-abuse/chil... Chris Brown as a third grader was sexually assaulted by a HS Sophomore and didn't seem to know that when he disclosed to national news. Sex education classes reveal healthy development, prevention of pregnancy and STD and reveal possible sex assault for either sex. How many child victims turn out to be adult victims or perps? Or adult victims AND perps.
What else is missing?
17.) Date rape and sex assault and unprotected sex can generate STD active/passable/permanent infections, unwanted pregnancy, internal rips and tears that may go untreated. Sex abuse can cause or exacerbate psychological problems for a lifetime. Untreated any of these can dilute if not destroy a person.
For perpetrators and victims, sex abuse is "the gift that keeps on giving" and it is something noone need experience.
18.) Steubenville and Maryville and thousands of other situations like them happen daily. Date rape drugs.
19.) Social etiquitte is helpful. Looking out for others is helpful. But formal responses must be improved, and a matrix of understanding and expected outcome from the White House Committee on Women and Girls will surely be better if a profoundly broader protective net is thrown.
20.) Why is this not a public health menace all over the world? Why is CDC and WHO and the US Surgeon General not the one called forward to nail this and then pass it to the policy and law writing peoples on this committee?
21.) Extreme gratitude and kudos to Mr. President and company for this progressive request.
Here are a couple of other things for edification.
22.) Hilary and Chelsea Clinton both expressed concerns that Rape Kits have been collected in some states and have never been processed. Rape Kits are the medical evidence collection packet that Emergency Rooms and Sex Assault Centers process to get necessary information following a reported assault.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_kit Wikipedia has some standard info.
https://rainn.org/get-information/sexual-assault-recovery/medical-inform... RAINN is the sex assault network and so the more direct professsional.
23.) Here is a Jezebel excerpt of the COST of caring for sex assault. Jezebel Rape Treatment Cost http://jezebel.com/5927962/treatment-for-rape-without-insurance-costs-mo...

It is a call for attentions to the fact that stats and vetted studies for some unknown reason have not to date appeared to allow professional medical and mental health communities to have a greater hand in developing along with others programs of response that allow our communities and governments to understand just how pervasive sex assault is from day ONE of life ( yes babies are assaulted).
Once this is better understood, perhaps more effective responses will be in place for us all, high risk populations as the focus.

Today is 'Father's Day', that yearly occasional wherein we all show our fathers' our appreciation for all their hard work, and sagely wisdom they have bestowed upon us. It can be all too easy to take our father's love for granted, their dedication to our well-being sometimes appearing invisible to us for various reasons. That being the case, there are few films out there that will make you appreciate your father than Joseph Ruben's horror thriller 'The Stepfather' (1987), which proves that not all of us are lucky enough to have a father that loves us, and cares for us.
The film's opening scene not only sets the mood for Ruben's movie, but also remains one of the horror genre's most interesting and memorable sequences to caught on film: Jerry Blake (Terry O'Quinn), a seemingly normal man, washes up in the bathroom, shaving and dressing himself impeccably before packing a few things and then leaving his home. However, in a dark and bizarre twist, we seen the newly transformed Jerry's family laying brutally murdered (by Jerry's own hands, no less) about the house, and realize instantly that the seemingly normal Jerry is anything but that.
Leaving his old life and (now very dead) family behind, Jerry adopts a new identity, and meets Susan Maine (Shelley Hack), a widower with a teenage daughter named Stephanie (Jill Schoelen). Integrating himself with the Maines, Jerry soon after becomes Susan's husband (and titular Stepfather to Stephanie), though his old life and past crimes haven't given up searching for him – nor has Jim Oglivie (Stephen Shellen), the brother of Jerry's murdered wife, ceased to look for him either. His old ways and old family catching up to him, Jerry seems like he's on the brink of 'snapping' once more, though the question is can Susan and Stephanie escape Jerry's wrath, or are they too doomed to suffer the same fate that Jerry's first family endured?
Much of the 'The Stepfather's success relies on O'Quinn's quiet and disturbing performance as Jerry Blake, his subdued behavior and quiet demeanor performed perfectly, and making his occasional 'outbursts' that much more intense and frightening by comparison. Like a ticking time-bomb, anytime O'Quinn is on-screen there's a chance of him 'losing it', and O'Quinn manages to keep the audience on the edge of their seat by refraining from showing any hints or giving any clues as to when he's going to snap and murder someone.
Equally responsible for the film's success is the performance of Jill Schoelen as Stephanie, Jerry's stepdaughter. Inquisitive and rebellious, Schoelen manages to portray Jill not as a victim, but rather as a naïve detective who's cynical enough to suspect there's something wrong with her new father, and yet hopes (for her mother's sake) that there isn't. Although portraying her with some strength, Schoelen also manages to inject some vulnerability into her performance, heightening the growing tension between her and O'Quinn, and leading the audience to believe that she too might become one of Jerry's many victims.
But while O'Quinn and Schoelen both give performances equally worthy of praise, Ruben's 'The Stepfather' is not without its flaws, most of which can be traced back to the script, with several plot-holes and contrivances that weaken the tension of the story. One of the more infuriating aspects is that fact that Jim Oglivie, an amateur detective, is able to discover a vital clue to Jerry Blake's whereabouts in a matter of minutes, something that neither the police nor the FBI apparently could be bothered to do or figure out despite the fact it's their friggin' job to do so. Then there's the last act of the film which, although dark and violent enough, is also predictable and too formulaic, and thus a rather disappointing end to a film that started out with such an intense and original opening scene.
Although Ruben's 'The Stepfather' is far from perfect, the twin performances of O'Quinn and Schoelen, along with the deft direction of Ruben himself, make it a film worth seeing. It might not be the perfect thriller, but with its strong acting, suspenseful atmosphere, and occasional interjections of dark humor, Joseph Ruben's 'The Stepfather' is far more entertaining and interesting than most of the other psychological thrillers to come out of the 1980's, and a film that's sure to make you appreciate the fact that your own father isn't a blood-thirsty monster like Jerry Blake.
Find the nearest Blockbuster (assuming they still exist) near your home so you can rent this film almost immediately. Or, if you prefer that movies came to you instead, set up a Netflix account and start your ordering as soon as possible.

Not WaterproofFirst, this was easy to use, but has a "runny mascara" consistency.
Found out it wasn't waterproof by accident. The first time I used the product I forgot to was the brush after using it. A couple of days later I remembered I had forgotten to wash the brush. I ran it under the water and hardly rubbed the bristles and the the product washed off without soap. Afraid to be caught in the rain or just perspiration will make it run down my neck and face.

Earnings season has been a mixed bag for big pharma so far this month, but the industry has a chance to score a big victory for investors when Merck (NYSE:MRK) reports its quarterly results next Wednesday. Merck has struggled with the patent cliff, like many of the top names in big pharma recently, and top drugs such as the diabetes-fighting duo Januvia and Janumet have struggled to gain significant sales growth.
Still, Merck has plenty going for its stock as one of the biggest names in health care. The firm's developmental cancer therapy, MK-3475, in particular has garnered high praise from analysts. Merck recently filed MK-3475 for regulatory approval in the U.S. as a melanoma treatment, and analysts project that the drug could one day garner up to $3 billion in annual sales if Merck can score approvals for more uses of the therapy.
MK-3475's development is one thing to watch in Merck's upcoming performance report, but what else do you need to keep an eye on? Find out what to watch from this top big pharma stock in the video below, as Motley Fool contributor Dan Carroll goes through the three most important things investors need to look out for in Merck's earnings -- and how they could make or break this stock heading into 2014.

Between the gajillion pairs of gladiator sandals on the shelves - and in our closets - this summer and the impending barrage of fall boots, we thought it best to take a moment to appreciate a nice feminine shoe. The Ciao Bella Frankie Flat ($79) is simple and elegant, and adds a sweet ladylike touch to any outfit with its floral embellishment. We think of it as the shoe equivalent to twirling around in a full skirt... pretty and fun!
