The Animal's Voice
by email@example.com
From Animal Rights Online www.aronline.org
The lasting sting of reality
more then you wanted to see
But you finally opened your sealed eyes
and saw through all the bloody lies
On your mind, it leaves its mark
with broken silences in the dark
The awful thoughts in your head
of the suffering and the dead
The wordless cries you can hear
and you feel their helpless fear
Not even one day can go by
without the shatter of a cry
You change your ways and your path
then cleaned your soul in compassion's bath
No longer part of humanities shame
and your new ways free of blame
Using your actions and your voice
mercy leads your every choice
You know there is much to be done
until the death count becomes none
Consciousness sent you down this trail
to defend the weak and the frail
Down this path you plant mercy's seed
and speak for those who are in need

With this article I honor all of the wonderful women who selflessly mother. It doesn't matter if our children are young or old, whether we're picking them up and mending a scrape or helping them through an emotional wound years later, these offspring mean the world to us. As mothers we want to nurture, to make things better and help our children grow into the best version of themselves; to be the best they can be. We want so much to take away the pain of our kids, but sometimes we overcompensate.
We try to help them navigate away from mistakes or lessen the impact of a bad decision, because their pain hurts us more than our own. As mothers, it is difficult to let our children experience a life fumble but realistically we have to let go in order for them to learn and grow.
It is tough to stand in the sidelines while these inexperienced individuals struggle. We feel we must do something, anything in order to help our young successors.
I believe the most difficult but most helpful thing we can do, as a support, is find a way to be nonjudgmental and open-minded as our children begin to make their way into the world. The power of unconditional love, as we already know, can alter any circumstance for the better. I believe, as long as our children have grown up in a loving environment, and they continue to feel loved, we've instilled the most important means in them in order for them to create a blissful life.
Think about your impact on your children, feel grateful for your place in their life, and continue to feel inspired about their future. You've done a great job. Now, take a moment and relax. Happy Mother's Day!

Soozers - Preteen Sex Machine
July 09, 2010, 01:47:13 PM »
This story was written by an online friend about the early adventures of my wife Susie when she was a young teen, enjoy !
SUZOORS - Preteen Sex Machine - Part One
Hi, my name is Susie aka Suzoors. I am a 46 year old happily married woman. I have been asked to tell about my early sex life. Although this is somewhat embarrassing, here it goes.
I was raised in a normal (whatever normal is) middle class suburban family. I have a sister Liz aka Lizard who is three years younger than me. My parents both worked and though we were not rich, we had a nice house, new cars, dancing and music lessons and other things that made a comfortable life. My parents got along well though Dad sometimes had too much to drink. He would get mad and yell when he was drunk but he never hit anybody. When compared to the horror stories from some of my friends, my family life was great.
I was always a skinny kid. I was not particularly beautiful but certainly not ugly. I was just kind of tall and "gawky" waiting to fill out. I was always interested in my vagina. I can remember always looking at it and touching it. I guess I have been masturbating most of my life but I didn't know that's what I was doing. I used to love to put a small mirror between my legs and look. My mother got a magnification mirror and I was in heaven. Liz and I used to like to run around our bedrooms with our pants off. We never did anything, just thought "bare bottoms" were cool. Mother used to catch us sometimes but would just say something like that is not nice put your panties on. I suppose if one of us had been a boy she would have reacted differently.
My life went on pretty much as normal; school, dancing, girl scouts until I was ten. Several of the girls in my class were starting to grow breasts but my chest was still flat. My friend Jane had big ones and would show them to me sometimes. She even let me touch them. One morning when I was doing my usual vagina (still the only word I knew) inspection I got the shock of my life. There were several dark hairs growing just above my spot (clit). I had seen Mom naked so I knew that women had hair there but I just didn't think it would happen to me.
I kept watching and more hairs kept appearing. I finally told Mom. She looked at my pussy and told me it was time for a talk. She gave me a book about babies and all but it really didn't tell much. It was more about tampons and deodorant than sex. There were a couple of crude drawings but not much else. She also bought me a bra. She told me not to share this information with Liz, which of course I did. I had my first period when I was eleven. I still didn't have any tits but I had a pretty full bush and nice legs.
My parents both worked on Saturday so we had a baby sitter. Her name was Linda and was seventeen years old. She was kind of chunky but not really fat. She spent most of her time talking to boys on the phone and kind of let Liz and I do whatever we wanted.
One day she saw me reading the book that Mom had given me and started giving me some real sex education. She told me about fucking, hand jobs, blow jobs, cum and everything else that she knew, which was a lot. She taught me new ways to masturbate, including using candles. She even taught me how to french kiss. I now think that she might have been a little bi, but she never tried anything beyond the kissing lessons. I, of course, shared all of this with Liz including the French kissing. One Saturday Linda brought a porn mag to show me which left nothing to the imagination. This thing had facials, anal you name it. I tried to get her to loan it to me but she was afraid of my mother finding it. Liz never saw it but I told her about it
Around that time (eleven) I started being interested in my parent's sex life. I used to listen through their door when I thought they were having sex. I even used a cup against the door. I could usually hear just enough to know that it was happening but never enough to get any details. I searched their room and found a magazine which had nude pictures and some action, but nothing like the one that Linda had. I also found my mother's vibrator. I would rub it against my clit and have incredible orgasms. I tried inserting it but it hurt too bad. It was much thicker than the little candles that I used. I also used the vibrator on Liz. She loved it. Nothing like a horny eight year old. We used to go into my room every day to French kiss and masturbate. I can't believe we were never caught.
There was a large linen closet right outside of my parent's bedroom. That is where the hamper was and where everybody put their dirty clothes and got clean towels. I had been listening to my parents having sex one night and almost got caught. Mom opened the door just as I ducked into the bathroom. I saw her open the closet door and throw a towel into the hamper. She was also naked. I only saw her for a couple of seconds. She had nice tits. I ran to the hamper and pulled out the towel. It had a distinct odor that I had never smelled before. I also saw a creamy white substance. Remembering Linda's description, this had to be cum. I think I had an orgasm on the spot. I put some on my fingers and rubbed it around. I put it to my nose for a better sniff and then, after a long pause, tasted it.
I knew from Linda and her magazine that men came in girls mouths so I thought it would be ok to taste. I was kind of disappointed because it really had almost no taste at all. I put the towel back, went to bed and masturbated all night long. Every time they had sex, there was a towel. I showed one to Linda and she verified that it was cum. For some reason, I didn't share this with Liz as I usually did.
When I was twelve, my parents started leaving me in charge of Liz on Saturdays. She thought I was responsible enough (if she only knew). She would call us all day to the point of wishing we had a babysitter. Linda had gone away to school and was no longer available. She had given me the number to her dorm to call if I wanted to talk. I really liked her. If we didn't have any outdoor activities planned, Liz and I spent the entire day naked and fooling around.
One evening, when I was twelve, I had cheerleading practice. Mom was at work and told me to see if I could get a ride from one of the other Mothers and if not to call her. I was standing outside of the school when I saw Jimmy dropping off his little brother for band. Jimmy lived down the block. He was seventeen, good looking and had his own car. I had known him most of my life but because of our age difference; I never really had much contact with him. I walked over to his car and asked if I could have a ride home.
At first I don't think he knew who I was but then it hit him. "Suzoors? Man have you changed. Sure, hop in." As we were driving all he could talk about was how much I had grown and how pretty I was. It was all bull shit, but at twelve, I fell for it. He asked if I wanted to go somewhere and smoke a cigarette. I had never done that before and didn't really want to but I wanted to be cool. He bought some cigarettes and a couple of cokes at a 7-11 store and we drove to a secluded spot behind a closed factory.
We smoked and I thought I was going to be sick but I wasn't going to let it show. I was in a car with a boy! As we sat listening to the radio, he put his arm around me and pulled me next to him. He took my face in his hand, turned it and kissed me. At that point I think I shocked him. As I have said, I am no rookie at French kissing. As soon as his lips touched mine, I slipped him the tongue. We kissed for a few minutes and his hand went to my tits. Thank God I hadn't stuffed my bra like I usually do, that would have been very embarrassing. He put his hand under my shirt and unhooked my bra. He obviously had experience at this. I let him play with my little tits. It felt so good. He then started putting his hand under my skirt and on my thighs. This was going faster than I was ready for. I closed my legs and asked him to stop.
We continued to kiss and he tried it a couple of more times. I still said no. Then he said that his dick was so tight in his pants that it hurt and would it be OK if he took it out. I said sure. He pulled his jeans and underwear down to his knees and I got to see my first cock. It was about an average six incher, but since it was the first one I had ever seen, it looked huge. He took my hand and placed it on him. It was weird. It was hard as a rock but yet soft. I moved my hand around it, not really jacking him but exploring. I touched his balls and he told me to be gentle. My heart was beating so hard I think it could have been heard in the next county. He then put his hand on the back of my head and started pushing it down towards his dick. I knew what he wanted. I had to make a decision immediately.
It was now or never, so why not? I had seen it in the magazine and Linda had told me how so I went down. I licked the head and he groaned. I slipped it in my mouth and took about two inches in. He started pushing me up and down. I took the hint and started doing it on my own. He then said he was going to cum and that I should just swallow it and that it wouldn't hurt me. I knew what was going to happen and that if I wanted to see Jimmy again, I couldn't fuck this up. I sucked harder and he exploded in my mouth.
I swallowed as fast as I could and got most of it. It tasted stronger than my dad's cum from the towel. It was kind of bitter and salty, but not bad. When he was done, I got up and smiled. He said I had just given him the best blow job of his life. I then saw the dash clock and panicked. I had to get home. We flew back to my house and I got there less than five minutes before Mom. He asked when we could get together again and I told him on Saturday. Fortunately both of my parents smoke, so they didn't smell it on me.
I called Linda at her dorm and told her that I had just given my first blow job. She was happy for me and told me that she loved college because she was on the pill and could fuck and suck all she wanted. Later that night, I told Liz what happened. She was fascinated and wanted more information. The next time Mom and Dad had sex, I shared the towel with her.
From then on, I gave Jimmy a blow job almost every Saturday. He would come to the house and we would go to my room. Liz would cover for me if Mom called while I was busy. I also started letting him see me naked and finger me. I would not let him fuck me because I was afraid of getting pregnant. He was happy with blow jobs any way. I was starting to get very good at fellatio. I could even deep throat. I kept Linda abreast of my progress. Right after Liz turned ten, I let her watch us.
One Saturday, when I was thirteen, Jimmy came by with a friend whose name I can't remember. He told me that the friend had just stopped by and he couldn't "get rid of him" and could I blow them both. At first I was a little offended because I thought Jimmy loved me (was I a fool), but I gave in. The other guy had a smaller cock and came almost instantly so it was really no big deal. From that day on, Jimmy started taking advantage of me. He almost always had one, sometimes two, friends with him. I would blow them all. I guess I just liked sucking dick. I know that I loved the taste of cum.
During one of those oral orgies, I got to suck my first uncut dick. The foreskin fascinated me. I couldn't understand why boys were circumcised. I kept a journal and during that first year of sucking, I had sucked seventeen different dicks a total of one hundred twelve times. I was really a slut. Liz wanted to try sucking cock but I told her that she was too young. I let her start licking the towel though.
Speaking of the Lizard, she was ten and already had tits as big as mine. We wore the same bras. She didn't have near the bush I had and was a little chubby. I had much better legs. She had her first period that year.
All good things must come to an end. One Saturday while I was blowing Jimmy and a friend, Dad came home early. Liz wasn't there as look out like she usually was. The boys got out the back door but Dad saw them leave. I was naked. I was really busted.
To make things worse, he had been drinking; in fact he was drunk. He ran to the back door to catch them but they were over the fence. Good thing he didn't have a gun. He yelled that if they ever came back, he would kill them. He came back to me and slapped me across the face. He had never hit me before. He pulled my legs apart and looked at my pussy to see if I had been fucked. I was crying hysterically. I told him that I was still a virgin and that we were just fooling around. I still had cum on my chin and he saw it.
He went crazy and started calling me a whore, a bitch and any other name he could think of. He said he didn't know how he was going to tell Mom and that she would be devastated. I was crying uncontrollably and begged him not to tell Mom. As I said before, he was drunk but I never would have expected what came next. He pulled out his cock and said that he wanted what I had been giving everyone else.
I was scared to death, but I knew I had no choice. Still crying, I dropped to my knees. His cock was the thickest I had ever seen. I had sucked one that was longer, but this was a monster. I gave him my best. Somehow I was able to get that entire big dick down my throat. I sucked his balls and licked his ass hole, all of the things Jimmy and his friends had taught me to do. Because of the alcohol, it took Dad forever to cum but when he did, it was like a fountain. Of all my blow jobs, no one came that much. It was running down my chin and onto my tits. I kept thinking that it tasted stronger that the towel. When he was done, he started crying and went to his room.
I wanted to die; I actually thought of killing myself. I went to my room and cried the rest of the night. Liz got home later and I had to tell her what had happened. She cried too. Mom came home and had a fit because Dad was drunk but never found out the truth. This day changed my life forever. He came to me the next day and begged for forgiveness, he had been drunk and knew that what he had done was oral rape.
Dad and I now had kind of a mutual blackmail arrangement. He would cover for me with Mom and give me shopping money. I gave him blow jobs. I started dating when I was almost fourteen. Mom was against it, but Dad took my side. I then became the blow job queen. Word got out fast that I swallowed and I always had dates. I probably would have anyway as I got my braces off and was prettier. I also finally started growing boobs!
Since I got my first period 3 years ago, they had never been regular and were painful. Mom took me to the Doctor and he put me on birth control pills to regulate my periods. Mom gave me a strong talk telling me that just because I was going on the pill doesn't mean I could have sex. I nodded and acted innocent but inside my mind – and pussy – were in high gear.

Tomasky: KS Speech Backs GOP into Corner
Rave reviews of President Obama's Osawatomie speech are still rolling in. Writing at The Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky had this to say:
...This was Obama's best speech in a very, very long time, and it showed that he and his political people have finally figured out how to express the new, quasi-populist mood in this country in a way that sounds utterly majoritarian and unthreatening--and that backs the GOP into the corner of defending things that most Americans find indefensible. The tide is turning, and while it wasn't the president who turned it, at least it's clear that he understands the moment and seizing it.
Tomasky was impressed with the President's grasp of the reality of class conflict in this political moment -- and the way the middle class majority perceives it going into 2012:
...I counted 25 mentions of "middle class" in the speech. Finally--maybe, if he keeps it up--the Democrats have a broad and coherent response to trickle-down economics: middle-class economics. It's ridiculously simple. It's like a melody in a new pop song that you hear, and it's so catchy and instantly memorable that you can't believe that no one has written it until now....A strong majority of Americans is fed up with stagnation, with inequality, with the unfairness of the economic system.
Tomasky credits the President with a breakthrough realization, one that should serve him well in the campaign ahead:
...what was important here was the big picture. This is the first speech of Obama's career, at least his career as a presidential candidate or president, where I felt he achieved a comfortable marriage of his own civic-republican beliefs about national community and principles of political economy that are plainly but not off-puttingly progressive. That he invoked the ghost of a Republican president to do it is so much the better. TR wouldn't want much to do with Paul Ryan, and most Americans don't either.
The President is on the right track, Tomasky feels. And if he can keep it rolling, the tide will turn in Democrats' favor. "...If, 11 months from now, people are talking with their neighbors about how, for all his faults, Obama is the guy who's on the side of the middle class and who has made it patriotic to say so, then the Republican candidate will be in a heap of trouble."

Is it possible to include more than one loop to sample in the IFD protocol?
Yes. In the jobname.inp file written out from the GUI, the STAGE PRIME_LOOP block can be copied to include an additional loop to sample. Note, however, that the two jobs will not be run simultaneously, but rather serially, so that the output conformations from the first loop sampling job will be used as input to the second loop sampling job. The job will have to be started from command-line:
$SCHRODINGER/ifd jobname.inp
Keywords: Induced fit, multiple loop sampling

The Bible is the Word of God for ALL People! Jesus Christ is the Word of God made Alive in the Flesh!
With a Brand New King, in a Brand New Kingdom!
The Bible is interesting and fun. Isn't it time to start studying it again?
Salvation is far more than just making peace with God. It is life, a pure new life in God.
We receive Salvation by honestly admitting that we have sinned and not lived as God intended, and then we make a choice to give our life to God. When we give our life to God, we need instruction on how to live according to God's will. We do that by choosing to believe in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. When we give our life to God in salvation, it is a lifetime commitment, just like a marriage. Jesus will fulfill His part of the relationship, and He expects you and I to honor ours.
For many, saying the words at salvation is all they deem necessary, to get their ticket to heaven. However just like marriage vows, the words we say at salvation have meaning. And in those words there is a great depth of meaning.
Your salvation decision gives you access into a new kingdom, the kingdom of God. This kingdom of God does not start when we get to Heaven. It starts at salvation. It gives you resources to call upon that the unbeliever does not have. We all previously lived in the kingdom of our flesh, by the dictates of our selfish fleshly nature. That life style has negative consequences that affect our life. Some of the consequences are experienced immediately and some can take a long time to become known. God gives us insight into right and wrong behavior to help us avoid the conquences of sin. He desires that we overcome sin and its negative consequences.
To him (Jesus) give all the prophets witness, that through his name whoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins. [Acts 10:4]
The remission of sins is where we reduce the sin in our life to where sin has little to no negative affect on our life.
Now we have committed our life to God to live for Him. As we study the scriptures, and choose to believe them, our decisions will now be based upon God's will, rather than our own will emotions and thoughts. Because God's word is true, righteous and loving, we will drawn into the kingdom of God because of the pure life it offers. Remember Jesus Christ is the living Word of God.
NO WAY! Many think the war between good and evil is like the picture on the left (or first picture) with there being a balance of power between good and evil.
Nothing could be farther from the truth!
Even in the picture on the right, the power of Satan is greatly exaggerated. You serve a loving, all powerful, and awesome God!
Yes, our God is an awesome God!
. . . behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation [2nd Corinthians 6:2]
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. [1st Peter 1:7-9]

Those who design Hollywood movie sets are often trying to duplicate real-life homes. The architecture, the furnishings and wood floors similar to Anderson's Lone Star collection may figure into making a movie home seem lived-in and realistic.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, movie and television homes have the ability to make people picture their dream home design. These images may take people beyond their everyday lives into a place of extravagance and sophistication. Either way, home decorators looking for inspiration can model the choices for their own interior designs on what they've seen on the big screen.
Homes on film
In her book, "Design on Film: A Century Of Hollywood Art Direction," Nashville interior designer Cathy Whitlock shows how Hollywood has influenced home and garden styles through the years.
Whether they are based on the ultra sophisticated sets for the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals of the 1930's or something more contemporary, like the trend-setting Hamptons summer home in the romantic comedy "Something's Gotta Give," Whitlock's premise is that movie production design may be the inspiration homeowners need to bring a touch of Hollywood into their homes.
Using desert-inspired hues and hickory hardwood flooring, for instance, conjures the landscape of a favorite Western complete with rustic or country-style furnishings. Rich jewel colors from a dramatic scene in a film may lead homeowners to try the same hues on a table setting to add elegance to their next dinner party.
Inspiring TV scenes
While many homeowners don't have the sprawling backyard of their favorite TV family, they can try to create a reasonable facsimile. Taking a cue from a television series or favorite film can stir up some interesting choices for both interiors and outdoor spaces.
One set for the TV family drama "Parenthood" captures that appeal in a unique way. Patio dining takes place at a long wooden table with a mismatched collection of chairs and benches. The trees are hung with strings of white lights as all-year lighting in the small-screen version of a California backyard.
If people want the same effect in their own outdoor areas, HomeAndGardenIdeas.com recommends draping lanterns or holiday lighting around the patio for an enchanting look that can be enjoyed late into the evening. Or, votive candles can be placed in glass jars filled with an inch or two of sand, then set down to line the periphery of the patio.

(Video update) Miami Dolphins: How Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano plan to heal their relationship
It wasn't couples counseling, but it sure felt that way for much of the time this afternoon during this awkward-but-necessary Miami Dolphins press conference.
Here's what GM Jeff Ireland said when I asked him near the end of the 40-minute session how much progress has been made the past two days with Dolphins coach Tony Sparano in repairing their fractured relationship and how much work still needs to be done:
"Just continue to talk," Ireland said. "I'm sure Tony will have questions about how the whole thing came down over the last 4-5 days. But we've talked. We had a great conversation. It's been very productive. Again, he knows the way I feel about him. That has never wavered, it's never been questioned by me and certainly, in speaking to Steve, is that my relationship with Tony is a very strong relationship. I'm committed to the guy. I think he's a fine football coach and I think he's certainly the right guy for the job. He knows the way I feel about him."
And then, cheating a little bit, I was able to extend my "one question" opening into getting Sparano to comment on the same issue. Felt I owed it to you Dolfans out there, so here's what Sparano said:
"I think communication cures a bunch of things. I've already told you guys this a hundred sometimes, but it sometimes falls on deaf ears, I guess. From the day that I got here, the person that I communicated the most with was Jeff Ireland. It wasn't Bill Parcells. It certainly wasn't Steve Ross. It was Jeff Ireland. He's the guy I communicate the most with on a day-to-day basis.
"I came here for a few reasons. One is I love the history of this football team, OK, and always wanted to be a part of this franchise. But I also came here because Jeff Ireland was here. I thought those were important qualities. Jeff and I, we've agreed not to agree a bunch of times. He knows that. He'd be the first to tell you that. At the end of the day, sometimes there's smoke coming from that office a bunch of times on some different occasions. And if there's not, it isn't healthy. It needs to happen.
"At the end of this whole thing, we'll keep communicating and it's going to be fine. He's a hell of a guy and a hell of a guy for me and we're going to go forward here and we're going to try to do the best thing for this franchise together and get this thing done. That's the way it has to be — together."
I should note that Sparano seemed to loosen up noticeably after appearing tense, ticked off and ill at ease for much of the first half of the news conference. (Not sure how much poker he plays.) Sparano didn't look at Steve Ross much when the owner was talking. Sparano even swallowed hard and looked down at his folded hands the first time Ross mentioned the name "Harbaugh."
By the way, Sparano is now 1-1 in hiring showdowns with the Harbaugh Brothers. He technically lost out to John Harbaugh for the Ravens job in 2008 — although Sparano was hired by the Dolphins two days before Harbaugh was announced in Baltimore — and a week later Mike Smith was hired in Atlanta, where Sparano also interviewed.
Going o-2 against Team Harbaugh — well, actually 0-5 if you throw in actual games — might have given him a complex about that family, so it's a good thing Sparano was able to even his record and get a little more job security.
What do you make of the answers Ireland and Sparano gave? And what's your confidence level in their ability to be a winning combination as GM and coach?

Rated 4 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnneW delicious and highly recommended At first I was unsure about this product because it seemed high priced, but decided to try because I love Cuban food. This exceeded expectations and now I highly recommend to all! It took more than 2h and the results are incredible. Even at work, my co-workers are curious about the incredible smells coming from my plate. Serve over any rice.... Flavor packs a punch w/o being overpowering, perfect amount of spice + slight heat, and is good for 10 servings easy. Next time I'll get plantains to make even more authentic. So good! February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by scottie Excellent meal! WE loved this dinner! My wife made it in the slow cooker and added a 2 lb. pork loin to the mix. We loved the mild-to -medium spices that were similar to chili spices. We served it over rice. It made enough for 8 to 10 generous servings. I have been to Miami for training many times and I look forward to eating Cuban food when I visit. It's great to be able to make some tasty Cuban food here in Canton OH. We are going to try some of the other flavors that this company offers. February 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cyclefemme Very little flavor We love spicy and flavorful food and when the employee of the store recommended this, I was pretty excited. He said to make it in the slow cooker, so I did ... and it was bland. It definitely had some heat from the peppers, but not the flavor I expected. We added all that it asked for, but ... meh Perhaps we got a bad batch, but based on this experience, I would not recommend it. May 4, 2014

In a recent New York Times article, Disaster Awaits Cities in Earthquake Zones, the reporter outlined cities whose population growth has outpaced the building codes. In many cases, the buildings would simply buckle with the force of the earthquake. But the true danger comes with the unsecured MEP systems, with live electricity, hazardous fluids and gases. Hospitals in California know this reality first-hand. But with aggressive legislation, OSHPD regulations have made these hospitals some of the safest in the world. By properly bracing MEP systems against the rolling and jarring seismic activity, the hospitals are able to remain operational, and avoid loss of emergency power after a seismic event. As you can imagine, this bracing technology also works to protect buildings and their occupants from further damage in bomb blasts. So many building types like airports, government facilities, emergency centers, and police stations benefit from similar codes. In this special edition of Fridays with Vico, we'll introduce you to our partner, ISAT. ISAT (International Seismic Application Technology) is the industry leader in streamlining your seismic code compliance relation to building utility systems. In this introductory webinar, we'll learn more about their design services, labor-saving products, and installation guidance for high risk buildings.

Typically supports for piping, trays, and other equipment are designed for gravitational or vertical loads. But they do not take into account the horizontal loading caused by earthquakes or blasts. The solution is seismic restraints - braces which resist these horizontal forces to keep the systems in place and secure. Coordinating code-specific bracing between multiple trades can be a difficult proposition. But in this webinar, we'll learn the multidisciplinary methodology for coordinating design, code, and layout. The workflow consists of four steps: Design coordination, Seismic bracing and hanger engineering, subcontractor optimization and layout and installation. Design Coordination. Constructability issues can mire MEP coordination. But we've developed a unique system priority structure concept to assign precedence to critical systems. And by working with BIM models, visualization speeds the process. Seismic Bracing and Hanger Engineering. When the bracing deign is finished a point load document is generated from the model. This document is then delivered to the structural engineer for approval and bracing documents are added to the coordination set. The fully detailed and coordinated set of documents is then sent to the subcontractor. Subcontractor Optimization. The subcontractors receive the documents and after reviewing the proposed design, they suggest cost saving changes optimized for their processes. With the subs' suggestions incorporated, an optimized set of documents is generated. A location-based package including the final coordinated drawings, bracing drawings, and location-based bracing buckets is sent to the subcontractors. Layouting and Installation. Utilizing the integration with the Trimble LM 80, we extract all the embed placement points from the model and load them into a robotic Total Station. The Total Station can then be used by the subcontractors to precisely position all of the embeds into the formwork prior to pour.
Join us for this timely discussion of seismic BIM technology and services which can help your team meet OSHPD and IBC codes efficiently. Watching this webinar with your team, you'll learn:• Which are the most critical building regulations for seismic activity, blasts, and other Homeland Security concerns;• How ISAT bracing technologies meet and/or exceed these regulations;• Methodologies for improving your MEP coordination practices;• How modeling the x, y, z coordinates for bracings, embeds, and inserts in the BIM can be reused in the field via the Trimble integration;• How other GCs have utilized seismic BIM services to improve their projects.

I think its very sexy, especially on the hairy chest of a man like that.
ITS HOT I HAVE Mind DONE!
Love them!!
I am glad you showed a man who would typically be pierced but I am so very enlightened that this man is thoroughly attractive without the pig jewelry. He is beautiful completely naked and nipple rings would add nothing because that is what is needed by perfection. Would Michaelangelo have improved on David by adding nipple rings? Thank God he most likely never considered it. I hope your hairy model never considers it either.
I've had one for years! HOT!!
I find it very sexy especially on hairy chested men. I have had 1 for more that 20 years. It actually made my nipple more sensitive.
Depends on the guy… but I tend to dig them mostly

Dr Liam Fox, Shadow Defence Secretary (pictured), contributes a comment piece in the Daily Telegraph today on the Israeli general election and the 'Tragedy of Israel'.
Dr Fox writes:
'Last week I visited Karni, one of the main crossing points between Israel and Gaza. Or at least it should be. Karni is a purpose built facility designed to handle goods and freight moving between the two. At its peak it processed 900 lorries a day. Now it sits eerily silent and the supplies in Gaza depleted as a resulted of suicide bombers targeting lorry drivers and terminal workers.
'Close to the terminal is the main fuel dump from where tankers take fuel into Gaza. Less than two hours before I arrived it was mortared by Hamas and consequently closed. Although it opened again later in the day, it is another example of how the welfare of ordinary citizens in Gaza is far from the top priority of their political masters.'
While Dr Fox writes at length of the various obstacles placed on the path to Palestinian prosperity by Hamas, he makes no mention of the 18 month blockade that Israel imposed on Gaza causing immense distress and suffering to the 'ordinary citizens of Gaza'. And of the destruction heaped on the narrow strip of land by the Israeli army's horrific bombardment, he writes:
'Israel has an undoubted right to defend its citizens and its territory, but as the front line of the democratic states, it has an obligation to observe the highest standards of international law and ethics. The tactics used by the Israeli military is a source of much soul searching and questioning among many of the voters I spoke to. Israel should welcome investigations into allegations about its conduct of the conflict.'
It is a travesty that while Dr Fox details at length the crimes he complains Hamas has committed and whose victims are the Gazan people, the crimes of Israel that similarly affect prospects for long term peace merit this one sentence above.
Where are the paragraphs on the illegal settlements that Israel has advanced in the West Bank? Where is the condemnation for the illegal blockade that denied the people of Gaza essential food and medicine before the bombardment began? Where is the outrage on Israel's construction of an Apartheid Wall in the West Bank?
Dr Fox portrays Hamas as an organization that violates the rights of Israelis to live securely in Israel. Reciprocally, should there not be equal criticism of Israel's undermining the rights of Palestinians to live securely within the pre-1967 borders, as UN resolutions insist?
He writes:
'[T]he wider world needs to realise that as long as Hamas, a movement rather than a government, remain in power with their implacable opposition to Israel's existence nothing will change. They will import more deadly Iranian rockets reaching further into Israel, hitting new Israeli cities and the cycle will repeat itself.'
How ignominious that he has not the courage to write that as long as Israel continues to ignore UN resolutions on withdrawing from the Occupied Territories, as long as it continues to treat the Palestinian people with the disdain of a colonial power, as long as it refuses to accept and uphold the rights of Palestinians to live in security and dignity, then too nothing will change.
This kind of biased, one sided commentary was preponderant during the Israeli offensive in Gaza. And while we would expect this sort of thing from Israeli spokespeople, it is disgraceful to see an MP cite by rote Israeli lines that present only one side of this tragedy.
Readers of the piece have posted these comments online:
'This makes no sense.
In a democracy, in the final analysis, you must put responsibility with the people voting and supporting its institutions. Otherwise, all the talk of the merits of democracy is rubbish.
The people pretty much get the goverment they deserve in any democratic state.
What people fail to realize is that democracies are not automatically decent forms of government. A majority with bad intentions can indefinitely impose its will.
Only a bill or charter of rights offers some protection against such majority abuse, but Israel does not have one, nor is it likely that it ever will with religious definitions governing many aspects of its society.
It truly does not matter much who is elected in Israel. The choice of a woman who worked with Olmert is hardly promising. He is surely a war criminal by any reasonable, meaningful definition.
Olmert launched a savage bout of killing just so his party could have election bona fides.
As to Lieberman, he is quite rightly characterized as a fascist. Were this any place but Israel, the world's press would be saying just that.
Netanyahu has a long record of inflammatory statements and corrosively negative attitudes. He is a dark, unpleasant figure, altogether. More than once, he has openly expressed contempt for Arabs.
It is generally put that Israel has moved to the right, but I rather think it is more accurate to say that Israel has moved into darkness.
I don't know how it could be more clear that Israelis do not want a just peace.
Of, yes, if asked about peace in general in polls, they say yes, but peace in general is a meaningless abstraction. Genuine peace has to be qualified by all the small print.
I wonder how many readers are aware that while Olmert was killing maybe 400 children in Gaza, there was heavy activity in the West Bank seizing more of other people's land?
Recent revelations through Google maps demonstrate the intensity of Israel's continuing efforts to seize land through informal settlements.
Other revelations through government papers demonstrate clearly the government's quiet collusion in such illegal and unethical efforts.
We will have peace if Israel is prepared to return to its 1967 borders, but there is not the least indication that that is likely or even possible.
But peace isn't just borders, it is treating your neighbors with respect and decency, but we see no sign of this from Israel, and it is Israel that holds all the cards.'
'I am sorry to be abusive but really this is crash rubbish.
That Israel's democratic system by way of proportional representation is as deeply flawed today as it was when Ben Gurion feared its effects, the best that can be said is there is clearly no majority in Israel for a settlement. A settlement would require ending the occupation, allowing the free flow of goods if not via Israel then via the Mediterranean, Egypt and Jordan and a new airport, a return to borders of 1947 and an end to assassinations and kidnap from any country they choose by Mosad in the shape of Vanunu type atrocities.
When the IDF tells us it was Hamas that killed the 400 children and 300 women by deploying US made and paid for battlefield technology in a civilian population zone, sadly they make the case for the Nazi occupiers who argued that the murder of the hostages their forces shot in order to intimidate the Resistance was the fault of the Resistance movement and its supporters. '
'Liam Fox's comment shows one thing only. The only people he bothered to speak to where the Israelis. In his lop-sided view, they are the only one who exist. After a siege that has lasted for 18 months and resulted in starving the Gaza population and destroying a generation of Palestinian children, the only thing that Liam Fox can come up with is 'blame Hamas'. this is exactely what Israeli representatives say, but I don't expect a British MP to mindlessly ape them. Why didn't he speak to any Palestinians? Why didn't he go into Gaza and see the suffering for himself? No, it is not Hamas that is to blame, it is Israel. For illegally occupying Palestinian land, ethnic cleansing, house demolitions, phosphorus shells and racism for over 60 years. The question here is : why does Liam Fox support all these crimes?'
'Other pro-Israeli commentators do not paint Hamas as black as this by any means.At the end of the day,the slaughter that the IDF inflicted on the innocent ordinary people of Gaza was appalling and manifestly wrong in the eyes of ordinary Britains.Israeli right-wing politicians have consistently sabotaged peace efforts in the cause of the land grab.Christians no longer believe articles like this one so typical of Jewish journalists righting in UK newspapers.'

The Tennessee Titans came out throwing in game 5 and this opened up more lanes for Chris Johnson to run through. CJ is now the second leading rusher in the NFL with 485 yards, and continues to provide the Titans with 40% of their weekly yardage.
Although Vince Young was more aggressive and effective in game 5, the Titans still need more passing yardage if they hope to win their division. Tennessee is still ranked 28th in the league in passing yards. As VY continues to regain his swagger, we expect to see him racking up more yards in the air as well as on the ground, continuing to develop the Titans powerful triple threat.
Kenny Britt had his best game of the season with 4 receptions for 86 yards and 1 TD; and Rob Bironas, the most dependable kicker in the NFL, added two more field goals, one from 52 yards. Rob has nailed seven straight from outside 50 yards. Marc Mariani continues to ignite life into the Titans' return game, and he ranks fourth in NFL kickoff return yards with 537.
The Titans defense added six more sacks, continuing to lead the league with a total of 22. The defense is ranked 11th against the run and 27th against the pass. If the Titans hope to make it to post season, they will have to tighten up their passing defense.
Last Sunday, Jeff Fisher coached his 262nd NFL game, which ties him for 9th all time in the NFL. As Tennessee prepares for Monday night's game in Jacksonville, we all expect a great contest. The Jaguars offense is nearly identical to Tennessee, ranking 4th in rushing and 26th in passing. This should prove interesting and could be beneficial for the Titans, who have been stronger against the run this season. It should provide an opportunity for our secondary to shine and improve their statistics.
Jacksonville's defense is ranked 13th against the run, 29th against the pass, and 11th in sacks. Vince Young ought to have plenty of time to throw and a weak secondary to pick apart. We look to see Vince throw for over 200 yards on Monday and Chris Johnson to put on a show for the nation. Jacksonville has some talented return specialists, so Tennessee will need to be careful on special teams. If the Titans continue to play intensely and with minimal mistakes, they should win this one in Florida with their biggest game of the first half of the season.

Here we are back again giving you an update covering all that is Minecraft. We take a look at everything that happens on the MMGN Minecraft server, sharing screen shots of the creative work done by members and what has been happening to the game while it's still hovering around in beta mode. In this episode of MMGN MC updates we have a massive amount of screen shots to share with you both from Operation Hohville and of personal structures. There's more details on the community projects, the first of many Minecraft competitions has commenced and a few tips on how to enjoy your time on the MMGN server, read on to find out more.
One nice aspect of the MMGN Minecraft community is team projects where a group of people get together and work on the one large scale goal. Everyone chips in with land clearing, donating supplies and building structures. There's a couple of these community projects currently running right now and you are more than welcome to join in.
Things seem to have wound down in the form of newly constructed structures and buildings, so cap things off I have grabbed a few screen shots of what has been created by numerous members.
Just hit the planning stage is the all new community project dubbed Sprit Tracks!I made the proposal for a new project earlier this week and wanted to get everyone involved from start to finish and it came to a unanimous decision that we go super large scale and recreate the map from the Spirit Tracks. As you can see from the above illustration we will have our work cut out for us but with more and more people signing up to help this should becomes something special.
Like to play Minecraft? Like to win prizes? Like building creepy animals with weird faces?
If you answered 'yes' to the above, then get ready to enter MMGN's first Minecraft competition. The aim is simple: build the best animal. Using any resources you please, warp to 'competition' (/warp competition in chat) and start building!
To join in, you'll need to be whitelisted. If you're not already whitelisted, visit out server's forum page to find out how.
In this competition, we're only looking at the aesthetics of your animal. Building an intricate interior may be nice, but a small and simple construction can be just as effective.
Please respect the boundaries of the flatlands and don't build too big. Anyone caught destroying the area or anybody else's projects will be banned. To avoid this issue, please get an admin to protect your buildings if you're competing.Prizes
First place: 32 diamond gems
Second place: 32 gold ingots
Third place: 64 iron ingots
Building must be finished by 7:30pm on Saturday. Uncompleted projects will be judged, though completion will be taken into account when deciding winners.
Good luck, and have fun!
This competition is still chugging along so you have some time left to get your entry in, won't be long before the next competition kicks in though.
As mentioned before in the last Minecraft Update we lost our server mods when we rolled over to Beta 1.3, one mod we lost that caused a little bit of drama was our beloved whitelist that became inactive which meant anyone could waltz in and run amuck. With the gates wide open a few undesirables came in a decided to let loose with some destruction. It was a little sad to see out work get destroyed but I think the worst part of it was that we got to see the bad side of the Minecraft community. Every since I started playing the people I have encountered both members and randoms have been very nice, so it was disappointing that some people went out of their way to do the following…
It wasn't all bad news since we could revert the server back a few days prior to griefing and there was a handful of nice randoms that came in for a visit to have a little look around, so to the guys that popped in for a friendly visit please feel free to check out requirements to be added to the server whitelist.
Since the Hey0 server mods we have been using up until now is starting to show its age Doles has made the decision to switch over to Bukkit server mod, if you want to know a little more about it then check this link. What that means for you guys that frequent the MMGN server is that the commands you have gotten used to will have changed, bare with us as we work the new system out. Once it's all up and running we'll list all the user commands available.

A few interesting updates taken from Notch's personal blog and every other major update you get shown in the recently added launcher.
Minecraft - Volume Alpha by C418
C418 makes music for Minecraft. He has released an OST of sorts on bandcamp. All the music from Minecraft (including a few unreleased tracks) are on there, in high quality. If you would like to listen to Minecraft C418 music or even download it follow this link.
Terrain generation, Part 1 After popular demand Notch has given us all a rundown on how the terrain works in Minecraft, to read the full article click here. Very interesting read if you want to know the technical aspects of the game.
Since nothing as creative was done recently that compares to what was posted in the last update I decided to dig up a couple of older ones that are worth watching.
Found a cool Minecraft video that you think should be posted here? Then send me a link via personal message and I'll add it in the next update.
If you are on the MMGN Minecraft server and would like to show everyone what you have created then take some screen shots and post them Here! Check the original post in that thread for instructions on how to submit your screen shots. We love checking these out so please take the time to take some screen shots so we can check out your work.
Since beds were added I decided to make a hotel and then got side tracked and made a 200 x 100 block Pacman stage. Thanks goes out to nothing who helped me dye all that black wool and fill in the floor.
Something to do with Pokemon.
Frazerc83 decided to use up all the cobblestone available on the map to make this massive robotic creeper statue.

It's never easy to win on the road. But it's even more difficult after a long road trip ends with a road game against a team who shoots 49 free throws. CSI went 36-49 at the foul line in a 99-92 win over Seward Saturday night in Twin Falls, Idaho. The Saints made 29-40 free throws in a foul fest. Seward had 37 fouls and two technical fouls whistled against them. Three Seward starters (Marcus James, Tony Smith, and Robert Sigala) fouled out. Four other Saints had four fouls. Latiq Agard scored 23 points and grabbed six rebounds in the loss. Tony Smith added 17 points. Jon Tassin added 14 while Robert Sigala scored 13 and Donte McCarter dropped in 12. The Saints are 4-1 and host Clarendon Friday Redlands Saturday for the Billy's-Days Inn Classic in the Green House. The games are both scheduled for 8 PM and will air on Talkradio 1270 and kscb.net.

Buying a new roof for your home is one of the biggest investments you will make, but if done correctly, the investment should last between 15-20 years.
So how do you know if you need a new roof? Here is some helpful information from the National Roofing Contractors Association that will give you some clues.
Do you see any warped shingles? Are they curling up or missing? In the interior of your home, have you noticed any water spots on your ceiling, or paint or plaster peeling off? These are all indications that you have problems with your roof and need to have it examined by a professional.
While the average life span of a roof is 15-20 years, the time for replacement can vary based on a number of factors. Here are some problems that lead to roof deterioration:
1. The sun: Heat from the sun's ultraviolet rays can bake the shingles, causing them to crack;
2. Algae and moss: These natural growing enemies can adhere to the roof, causing moisture to get beneath and rot the shingles;
3. Tree branches: Falling limbs and branches hitting the roof can scratch the roof, causing punctures in the shingles;
4. Snow, ice, wind and rain: Mother nature can wreak havoc on the roof, causing shingles to rip off, water to gather, hail to pound shingles and too much snow and ice can block gutters, causing moisture to stay on the roof due to lack of proper drainage.
Once you have determined you need a new roof, you need to get estimates from licensed professionals in your area. Be sure to get bids from several companies. The NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) recommends you check the roofing company's permanent place of business, phone number, tax identification number, and proof of insurance. Also, check the local Better Business Bureau for information of the company, as well as checking references.
While getting a new roof can be costly, it is an investment that will protect your home on the outside as well as the inside. Doing the proper research to find the right roofing company will protect your investment, providing the greatest life span possible for your new roof.
Up on the roof: How to know when it's time to replace it
Buying a new roof for your home is one of the biggest investments you will make, but if done correctly, the investment should last between 15-20 years.

Degree Specialties
This list serves as a guideline for areas for specialization so that students can further pursue their specific interests within the broad discipline of Mechanical Engineering if they wish to. Specializations are not listed on diplomas. The list does not change the flexibility in the ME UG program – a degree specialization is not required. However, if students wish to specialize in a certain area, they can do so. To specialize in a given area, it is recommended that students take 3 to 5 courses in the area beyond the required courses. The motivation is two-fold: i) it provides ME UGs a concrete list of courses to take if they want to specialize in a given area, and ii) it may help ME UGs become effective more quickly in the workplace with a 4 year degree. Students are encouraged to take courses in the various specialization areas in other departments as well (such courses will count toward non-ME electives).

Unlike the super PAC-funded, partisan-riddled TV campaign starring Love and Matheson, Democrat Donna McAleer is waging her battle against Republican Rob Bishop on the ground, with shoe leather and elbow grease. And, against all odds in a state where the significant contests are usually sealed in the Republican caucuses, McAleer is connecting with voters in both camps.
Her strength comes from a rare combination of credentials that straddles stereotypes. She is a Democrat who is also a military vet, a former business executive who also ran a nonprofit, and a mom who can also pilot an Olympic bobsled. As a result, constituents are learning that the candidate can talk knowledgebly about everything from troop cohesiveness to the challenges facing classroom teachers.
On a campaign trail that has taken her from oil country to Hill Air Force Base, from dairy farms to business boardrooms, McAleer has demonstrated an intense focus on issues and relentless energy. The West Point military academy grad is on a mission and she intends to carry it out.
contrast, Bishop's appeal to Park City voters, aired on KPCW Tuesday, was based on helping the city override a U.S.
But voters may well ask, what has has he done for us lately?
During his 10-year tenure in Congress, Bishop has voted against the Affordable Health Care Act, which among other things ensures that individuals can't be denied health insurance due to a pre-existing condition. He voted against extending the payroll tax deduction, against the repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell military policy that forbade gay members from being open about their orientation, against the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act guaranteeing women and minorities equal pay for equal work, and against the Dream Act that would have helped the children of undocumented parents apply for in-state college tuition discounts. He supports efforts to turn federal public lands over to state control and consistently votes for oil and mining interests and against environmental regulations.
McAleer would chart a far different course, one that we believe would offer brighter futures for more Americans, would take a more proactive approach to protecting the environment, and would help to break the gridlock in Washington.
With unflagging determination, McAleer and her team have been pushing their message uphill in a race that, apparently, the national parties believe is a foregone conclusion. We think they might be wrong about that.
Yes, a McAleer win on Nov. 6 is a long shot but the title Congresswoman McAleer is beginning to sound like a possibility. And it has an especially nice ring for Parkites who just might, for the first time, have the opportunity to visit D.C and say, "I'd like to see my congresswoman."
