Welcome to Cool $ense!The Cool $ense Network is here with the information and tools you need to pull off a successful chiller project. There are many reasons you may be facing chiller work - to get rid of CFC refrigerants in your facility, to add more cooling capacity, or to replace an old, failing chiller. But no matter why you're doing this work, we encourage you to do an integrated chiller retrofit, or ICR.
An integrated chiller retrofit combines
building load reductions (like more efficient lighting or a cool roof)
and cooling system improvements (like variable speed drives and varible
volume air handlers) with a chiller retrofit or replacement. This integrated
approach has lots of advantages. Some of these advantages are:
If you're doing any chiller work and
aren't planning an integrated chiller retrofit, you're missing a great
opportunity to improve the quality and energy efficiency of your building's

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Happybaker Love Lodge Cast Iron products! Lodge cast iron pans are wonderful. This 10 inch pan is great for using on my induction stove. I bought it so we can go from stovetop to oven to make fritattas, but will be using it for a lot of cooking. I also have a 5 quart Lodge dutch oven I use to bake artisan bread. Nothing beats the quality of Lodge cast iron. March 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by ForeverHungry88 Excellent Kitchen Cooking Mainstay I love this skillet. I just got the pan and immediately cleaned and seasoned it and just started with something simple, a fried egg. It cooked beautifully and from there every dish I've cooked has been amazing. I can not say enough about how wonderful this skillet is, it will be in my pantry for decades to come. November 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LAWoman Hands down, most versatile pan ever I have owned many expensive pans. But this one is my favorite. I use it for cornbread, meats, saute, and the best hash browns. So easy to clean. Just use a scraper and for tough spots, a little bit of salt to scrub it clean. The more you use it; the better it gets. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sasassy Great product! For the cost and size of this cast iron skillet, you can't beat it! We've used it to cook steaks, eggs, cornbread, potatoes, etc. All turn out great and help to season the pan. March 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by learning2cook Great big size Our other cast iron skillet was ok for a 2 person dinner but I really wanted a bigger size for when I have guests over. This skillet is really big but perfect for the 4-6 person meal. I recommend this size skillet if you like to entertain. January 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Packy Very disappointed I have use an 8" cast iron skillet for years. This (new) skillet didn't heat evenly and its surface was far from "cured". I am very disappointed and don't plan to use it. June 3, 2016

Arizona 6, California 4 (Box Score)
TUCSON, Ariz. - Propelled by a four-run first inning, the Arizona baseball team captured a series-clinching victory, 6-4, over visiting California before a crowd of 3,365 on Friday evening at Hi Corbett Field.
Arizona (20-11, 5-6 Pac-12) again utilized a balanced offensive attack to defeat California (16-15, 5-6 Pac-12) for the second straight night. The Wildcats won the opener, 10-1, on Friday.
After scoring six runs over the first two innings on Friday, the Wildcats tried a similar formula on Saturday with the four-run first inning. Unlike Friday's tilt, the Golden Bears fought the Wildcats to the final out.
Arizona held a 6-4 advantage entering the bottom of the ninth and sent closer Mathew Troupe to the mound. Troupe quickly struck out Grant Diede to open the frame, but subsequently hit Mike Revenkamp with a pitch to bring the tying run to the plate.
Troupe came back to strike out Devin Pearson, but Brenden Farney hit a two-out single to right that left runners on the corners. Then, facing the go-ahead run, Troupe struck out Devon Rodriguez to end the game and secure the sophomore his seventh save of the season.
The Wildcats rapped out 11 hits on Saturday, including run-scoring hits from six different players. Johnny Field led the charge with a 3-for-5 night, while Zach Gibbons went 2-for-4 with a triple. Brandon Dixon and Scott Kingery added their own triples, with each driving in a run.
Arizona struck early and often against California starter Justin Jones, who lasted just one inning after giving up five-straight hits to open the game. Jones (L, 1-4) suffered the loss after surrendering four runs on six hits in his only inning.
California's bullpen did a steady job limiting the Wildcats the rest of the way. Chris Fisher-Muse, Ryan Wertenberger, Trevor Hildenberger and Keaton Siomtin combined to allow only two runs over the next seven innings.
Trailing 4-0 in the top of the second, the Golden Bears scored twice off starter James Farris. A one-out double by Jacob Wark ignited an early rally as Chris Paul and Diede later delivered RBI singles.
The damage could have been worse if not for a big defensive play made by the Wildcats.
With two out and runners on first and second, Pearson lined a single to right field. Diede tried to score from second, but Joseph Maggi's throw to the plate skipped perfectly into the glove of catcher Riley Moore, who applied the tag for the final out of the inning.
Arizona added a run in the bottom of third after Gibbons tripled to the right field corner. Newman followed with a perfectly placed bunt single to tack on another run.
An inning later, Sam Parris ripped a single up the middle and advanced to second on a bunt. Field followed with an RBI single to center field, and the Wildcats held a 6-2 lead.
That remained the score until the top of the seventh when the Golden Bears strung together three straight hits against reliever Tyger Talley. Diede, who was 2-for-3 in the game, plated a run with his second hit of the game.
Augey Bill took over for Talley and, despite allowing a run to score on a groundout, retired three of the four batters he faced. The final out came when Bill struck out Andrew Knapp to strand the tying run in scoring position. Bill went on to pitch a clean 1-2-3 eighth.
Talley (W, 3-0) earned the win after coming on in relief of Farris, who allowed only two runs on six hits over 4.2 innings despite battling an illness. Talley gave up two runs on three hits over 1.2 innings before turning the game over to Bill and Troupe.
Arizona, which has won a season-high five consecutive games, can sweep its second straight conference series with a win on Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. (MST) at Hi Corbett Field. The game will be televised live on ESPNU and broadcast on 1290 AM.

Dear Editor,
"If elected I will immediately repeal "Obama Care."
"If elected, I will change taxes and entitlement programs to the advantage of my constituents."
The shame of it is such heated rhetoric is causing the voters to vote for the candidate that they think will help their pocketbooks.
I have never heard a candidate say, "I will do these things if the legislature will pass the needed legislation. The President can do very little without the legislature's approval.
The electorate is "running scared" because of the promises that the candidates are making. The voters need to be reminded that the House of Representatives repealed "Obama Care" several times but the Senate wouldn't even consider the bill. George W. Bush proposed privatizing Social Security but despite the fact it is working in other countries the legislature never took it up.
The voters need to wake up and realize that promises can't be kept as easily as they are made.

Thirty-somethings squealed with delight at First Niagara Pavilion last Saturday as the Backstreet Boys proved they haven't gone anywhere. The group asked just three things of their fans for the evening "go crazy, be loud and act like you're 15" all of which, were accomplished.
Kicking off the show, fans went nuts as Brian Littrell walked out with his son, Baylee. After a little playful banter, Baylee performed two adorable songs, Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" and the Jackson Five hit. It's clear the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Opening act, Avril Lavigne, took the stage around 7:30 p.m. bringing her extensive collection of hits like "Here's to Never Growing Up," "Sk8ter Boi," "Girlfriend" and her first hit "Complicated."
While her tunes were spot on, Avril is very awkward on stage in terms of crowd interaction. A full walkout stage was in front of her, yet she never set foot off the main stage. There were very few moments of addressing the crowd and no playful banter. It was basically a live greatest hits collection. She's a talented artist, but I can listen to an album anywhere.
Backstreet Boys was complete 180 from Avril's show. Entering to squealing girls from the front of the house to the top of the lawn. BSB still makes hearts flutter. As they rose from the stage to "The Call" the moves, dances, and sexy men of the 90s never missed a beat.
Sticking to many classics like "All I have to Give," "Show me the Meaning of Being Lonely," and "I Want It That Way" were belted from the stage and almost overpowered by the crowd singing along. In an interesting change-up, the group opted to perform an acoustic set in the middle of the show which included a really beautiful version of "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)." Finishing out their show with two of their most popular hits "Everybody Backstreet's Back." and "Larger Than Life," the Backstreet Boys truly are entertainers.
It's hard to believe that BSB is celebrating more than 20 years together as a group. Fans young and old screamed with delight from the first note. They gave the band exactly what they wanted, loud, crazy fans acting like they were 15 again. For many it was a trip down memory lane, except this time they weren't as squeaky clean as they were in the 90s – gyrating from the walk out stage, removing shirts and even "shakin' what they're mamma gave'em" all through the night.
While there are many bands touring today that are stuck in the past, replaying a collection of hits from their glory days – that's not the Backstreet Boys. A year ago, BSB released a new album "In A World Like This" after a four year hiatus and the fans still loved it. While neither of the singles from the album including the song "Show' Em (What Your Made Of)" which was written about their kids peaked on the charts, the true fans still knew every word.
Finally, not to be outdone by the likes of Justin Bieber and Katy Perry for music-inspired films, the Backstreet Boys released a promo of their new movie, coming in 2014, to the big screen and the fans went wild.
Backstreet Boys are not one of the has beens still touring off old material, they are evolving into something even more incredible than they were 20 years ago. Here's to hoping it's not the last time we see them on stage here in Pittsburgh.

The country's only Gothic basilica, its foundation stones were laid in 1410 under Grand Duke Vytautas. Its exterior is sober both in form (fine Gothic apertures) and ornamentation, but the interior is extremely rich, embellished using Renaissance and Baroque elements. There are nine altars beneath its superb vaulting, including a fine 18C Baroque altar representing the Twelve Apostles. There are also eleven paintings by Michele Elviro Andrioli (1836-1893).

More truth

I lost 3.5 pounds this week.
I am going to attribute this to a few things:
1. Stepping up my workouts again, consistency and intensity wise. I've primarily been using a Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 DVD which is about 25 min long. I add in elliptical time too a few times a week.
2. I went back to logging food. Yup. I don't like spending the time to track, but the reality is that it is sooo easy to over do it, and when you're trying to lose 'only' 10-20 pounds, an extra 100-300 cals can make the difference between getting to goal or not.
3. I am retraining my brain to realize that my body really doesn't need much to survive and thrive. Way less than the av. American believes (not that anyone reading this is average :). Just because I feel a hunger pang doesn't mean I'm going to DIE. I try to drink water now, or have some coffee with milk or do something else and not immediately grab for food in the heat of the hunger moment. I can see on my log what I've eaten and what I have planned for the day, and it is enough for my to sustain myself. I have to get over the 'fear' of hunger. That's what I'm training my mind to begin believing. I've also thought a lot about making sure I have a calorie deficit. I went to a BMR calculator and figured out how many cals I need to lose weight. That was helpful too.
I think those are the main three things. Sleep has been rough this week for a number of reasons, but I know I'll be that much more successful when I can get more quality sleep. I also joined a gym today that has a pool. I have been going to the same gym for close to 10 years. It's a great, bare bones gym, but I need pool access so I can do more cardio with my foot injury (plantar faciitis).
I've been listening and enjoying Jillian Michael's podcast. She's pretty entertaining, and gives good advice and has good guests. I highly recommend it. She calls the last 10-20 pounds 'vanity weight', and talks about how the approach to shedding this weight is quite different than if you have 30+ pounds to lose. I'm thinking about getting her 'Unlimited' book that she's mentioned. Anyone read it? It got some good reviews on Amazon.
Anyway, have a good day, and keep plugging away. It's not easy to get to goal, but it is possible.

We want to address the concerns that D.C. residents have a fair opportunity to apply for museum construction jobs. These concerns have been raised recently in a flyer regarding construction of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The flyer refers to the construction of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which is in the first stage of construction. The Smithsonian has contracted with a joint venture company for this project: Clark/Smoot/Russell (CSR). Two of the firms, Smoot and Russell, are African American owned companies.
CSR and its subcontractors are responsible for the workforce on the site.
Applicants interested in applying for construction jobs may call Clark Construction's jobs hotline, (301) 272-8188 and leave contact information. In the coming weeks, the hotline will announce specific positions that need to be filled.
Applicants will be able to go directly to a CSR representative in mid-August when a trailer is scheduled to open on the site at Constitution Avenue and 14th Street. Until then, workers may fill out applications at Clark's mobile job site, 10th Street and New York Ave., every Wednesday from 7 am to 9 am.

Consumer Price Index up 4.1 percent in 2007
January 17, 2008
For the 12-month period ended in December 2007, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 4.1 percent. This compares with an increase of 2.5 percent in 2006.
The index for energy, which advanced at annual rates of 22.9 and 32.9 percent in the first two quarters, declined at a 14.8-percent rate in the third quarter, and turned back up in the fourth quarter, advancing at a 37.1-percent annual rate.

The food index, which rose 2.1 percent in all of 2006, advanced 4.9 percent in 2007, its largest increase since a 5.3-percent rise in 1990. Grocery store food prices increased 5.6 percent in 2007, reflecting acceleration over the last year in each of the six major groups. These increases ranged from 3.2 percent in the index for other food items at home to 13.4 percent in the index for dairy products.
Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U advanced 2.4 percent in 2007, following an increase of 2.6 percent in 2006.

Finally! Proud to announce our May Next Step winner to be the charming miss Jaidene Veda!
After co-writing and self-produceding three independent albums and two Billboard club singles, this young Canadian lady has already garnered recognition in the underground house community and the international top 40 club scene. Interestingly, Veda got her start in 2000 as an event producer and party promoter, inevitably helping her develop an audience prior to presenting herself as a singer.
Over the years, she has worked with an impressive who's who, including Joe Claussell, Josh Milan, Glenn Underground, Jimpster, the Ananda Project, and Reelsoul.
This past fall saw the released of Jaidene's debut full length album, Pisces Pendulum, which is an enchanting blend of loungy, jazzy, and soulful deep house sounds, and has been lauded by the likes of DJ Spinna, Danny Krivit, and Kenny Dope.
Below, we've got a couple treats for you. The first being a brand new release exclusively in honor of Jai's feature as a Next Step winner – the song is a beautiful downtempo tune called "Colors of Your Love" – reminds us a bit of Aya. And yes, we've helped get it to you as a free download – get on that. The next track is a Pete Mo remix of "Healing," which has a more upbeat house vibe and will have you spinning around in about two seconds flat. Loving it all!
Folks can look forward to even more awesome tunes on Jaidene's forthcoming studio album this fall. The sounds will be soulful, jazzy, and downtempo, and not quite as house driven as her previous projects. Find a little snippet of the feel in the video above. Also, watch for Jaidene on Ralf Gum's upcoming album, Never Leaves You, which is due out in September!

A Tortilla Is Like Life: Food and Culture in the San Luis Valley of Colorado
From the time Laura Esquivel's well known novel Like Water for Chocolate was made into a film, food and meals have been presented as a means of communication that extends beyond the dinner table. A Tortilla Is Like Life is an excellent book about Hispanic food, recipes, and home remedies.
A Tortilla Is Like Life is an introduction to the unique Hispanic community of Antonito in San Luis Valley of Colorado. This small urban centre with a population of approximately 900 has Spanish, Mexican, and American Indian ancestry with some Anglophone influences. The town of Alamola, thirty miles away with a population ten times the size of Antonito, provides employment for people from nearby communities.
Carole Counihan, an anthropologist who settled in Antonito with her husband and two sons, presents the culture of the community by gathering food-centred interviews between 1996 and 2006 from nineteen women ages thirty-two to ninety-four, making fifty-five interviews in total. Two women in particular play a major role by providing information about the food, traditions, and culture of Antonito. The most active participants in Counihan's study were Helen Ruybal, born in 1906, who she interviewed nineteen times, and Teddy Madrid, born in 1936, who was interviewed six times.
In this small community, gender arrangements surrounding cooking have changed over the years along with the archetype of the Chicano patriarchal family. Food sits at the heart of the household, contributing to the structure of families. A woman who prepares food is seen as the head of the family, and women construct relationships with men through cooking. Given that many women sell prepared food to make a living, domestic duties belong to both husband and wife. Through food, women establish a sense of their own identity, culture, and place in society. They create stories about food to preserve their legacy for future generations.
Certain foods encapsulate memories, rituals, beliefs, and traditions. Two things that are central to the Antonito diet (for both flavour and tradition) are red and green chilis, which are eaten on numerous occasions—with extended families, during birth rituals, at one's wedding, and after death—as they communicate love, nurturing, and care.
Counihan wants to enrich the understanding of Antonito's history by presenting diverse women's voices and creating a cultural mosaic revealing how they relate to food and community. She classifies her book as testimonio and has done a very thorough job researching. A Tortilla Is Like Life deals very well with the sense of cultural belonging felt by those living in a community where women's identity is shaped by food.

Nice post. I was checking continuously this weblog and I am impressed! Very useful information specifically the remaining phase :) I deal with such information much. I used to be seeking this particular information for a long time. Thanks and good luck.
The use of these materials will effectively increase the durability of the youth baseball bats and can also improve on the batters sweet spot. Whether you stride when the pitcher pivots or a split second before the pitcher's release is a personal preference. If you hit it squarely, you have a very good chance for a hit.

College Hockey:Vermont Shuts Out Northeastern
Catamounts Win Season Series
BOSTON — For the second straight night the Vermont Catamounts scored a goal with less than a minute left in a period. This time, however, it proved to be the game winner.
Vermont notched a three-point weekend at Matthews Arena and widened the gap with Northeastern in the Hockey East standings. Vermont goaltender Joe Fallon notched his 16th career shutout, his fourth against Northeastern in his career.
"I thought we were excellent from the net out. Joe [Fallon] played extremely tough in there for us tonight; they had a lot of scoring opportunities on second and third chances and he certainly was a wall back there for us." Vermont head coach Kevin Sneddon said.
The first period started off where Friday night left off, that being very physical with neither team getting many quality chances to score. As the second period continued the physicality seemed to dwindle, but the scoring chances were still few and far between.
Northeastern almost escaped the second with a scoreless tie intact, but on a clearing miscue UVM opened the scoring with only 40 seconds left. After Northeastern netminder Brad Thiessen made the first save on a shot from the slot, the rebound came to Torrey Mitchell, who banged the puck into the open net. Brayden Irwin and Arthur Femenella got assists.
"It was good [to get that goal], they did such a nice job of preventing us from really mounting any sort of offensive attack when we had sustained possession in their zone. They made it really difficult for us to get shots through — it came down to a shot and a rebound. They aren't always going to be pretty goals when you play a team that does such a good job defensively." Sneddon said.
"It should have been a 0-0 game going into the third period; instead it's 1-0, and they are a team that's really difficult to come back on when they have the lead." Northeastern head coach Greg Cronin said.
With Fallon's shutout intact going into the third, Vermont seemed to switch to defensive mode. But UVM added an insurance tally at 16:04 when Jonathan Higgins took a pass from Jay Anctil and backhanded it in. Thiessen got caught a little off-guard as it seemed he and the defense were anticipating a pass; instead Higgins took the shot. Reese Wisnowski collected an assist on the play.
Mitchell sealed the deal with an empty-net goal at 18:38, a shot from near the red line that was deflected by the Northeastern defense and went soaring in the air before finally landing in the back of the net. Kenny Macaulay and Dean Strong each collected their 10th assists of the season.
Fallon tallied his fourth shutout against Northeastern in six starts against the Huskies. Fallon ended the night with 23 saves. Thiessen made 23 saves.
Both teams had a good night on the penalty kill, with UVM going 0-4 when a man up and NU 0-5.
Northeastern (6-11-4, 3-9-4) has a home and home with Massachusetts-Lowell next Friday and Saturday. Vermont (12-8-2, 7-4-2) will travel back to Boston for a pair at Boston College on Friday and Saturday night.

I have a 180GB MOSS 2007 database whose maintenance (i.e. backups and restores) are becoming a problem. Part of the issue can be resolved by splitting the three content sites down into their own site collections, however this will likely still leave me with a 100gb DB to deal with. Whilst this isnt entirely problematic for SQL it does mean that backups / restores take far too long.
my idea is to split each of the databases to 30gb files, then to import the content into them which should distribute the content across the file groups,making it much easier / faster to backup/restore.
Is there a way to backup from a single file and restore to a filegroup?
If i have the wrong understanding of filegroups then I'm more than happy to find out other methods of managing the size of databases.

Genre: Documentary
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Comic-Con: Episode IV - A Fan's Hope
I have a friend who attends Comic-Con religiously so he really wanted to see this film and dragged me with him. I actually had a pretty decent time and I think this film is pretty interesting and entertaining. It is definitely going to be appreciated by fans much more than by me but I found charms in it as well. It was quite interesting to see what goes on during the Coferennce and why so many people are drawn to it. I think this film is the next best thing to being there and I enjoyed the ride.
This is a doc**entary about the fans who gather by the thousands each year in San Diego, California to attend Comic-Con, the world's largest comic book convention, the film is directed by Morgan Spurlock and stars Kevin Smith, Stan Lee and Eli Roth. I think this film was created for a very specific audience and that audience will definitely like it and appreciate it, however i am not a fan of comics and it was hard for me to understand how people can get into that so much. I still think that the film was great and I liked how the director showed the absurdity of the obsession and also a genuine human interest, it was a nice balance. I found the film to be very entertaining and I had fun watching it even though i do not understand the people that are in it.

www.yahoo.com isn't an IP. It's a name. Convert it to an IP first. For example, just changing "www.yahoo.com" to "18.104.22.168" made the script work here.
There are many ways to get perl to convert the name to a number - although in this case I just ran "host www.yahoo.com" at the command prompt. ;-)

Disinflation is a decrease in the rate of inflation.
Expanded Definition
Basically, disinflation is a slow-down in the rate of annual increase in inflation. For example, if annual inflation is running at 3.5% and decreases to 2.5%, we have disinflation. Deflation is where the rate of inflation turns from positive to negative. For example, if inflation went from 3.5% to -1%, we would have a state of deflation.

Here's a little teaser from Gay of Thrones, the new Series by MEN.
Check out the video here and the images below. Pretty sure you will like it if you follow the series Game of Thrones on TV.
Enjoy your weekend!
Hahaha stupid..
Super fucking tacky!!!!
All I can say is LOL.
Hot men, but ridiculous plot (what there is of it).
I love Game Of Thrones, but this looks lame as hell
I have to be honest, I didn't like it. But then again, I'm not into those type of men at all so that's the main reason.
That is SO damn hot… The ultimate fantasy for a Game of Thrones fan… and the men are men… with beautiful uncut cocks and bodies to die for… i cannot wait to see the whole thing — thanks for sharing it with us !!!
I have to admit, this is totally hot!
Hardly looks anything like Khal Drogo. A Song of Fire and Ice is an amazing story, but this doesn't look very hot at all.
Sorry Dave but that has to be about the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time.
Looks interesting. But hope they really use some hot guys. Let's see how they would incorporate the tatts for Jake Bass!!!! Even Zeb Atlas would be hot in this these series. Brent Corrigan and Brent Everett as rivals. Blake Elliot, Topher DeMaggio!!!! Maybe some older porn stars to. Matthew Rush!!!!
I love "Game Of Thrones" and I think this is beyond lame
really like they used condoms back then why film it and show the condom if it was mondern day and not barbarian times ok show the condom but really do some home work,…. go for realistism stuff like that probably happened but most don't want to admitt it….
What's the point of doing films like this if the producers can't even insure the models fully look like the characters they're trying to re-create? There are so many things missing and just wrong with the way from the screenshots alone (Can't put eyeshadow and blue strips on a latin guy and instantly call him Khal Drogo). And who the hell is his partner supposed to be? Jamie Lannister, or Obligatory Hot Blonde Number #305 ?
Hopefully it gets rougher than that. "GAMES of Thrones" has hot AGGRESSIVE sex scenes. Bareback would be HOT, just a thought.
Yeah, I have seen a grown man naked before… and I DO like movies about gladiators! But this was just corny!
Be better if it was bareback. Who wore rubbers back then
Can we leave tv shows to television studios and leave porn to porn studios with what they do best. Be real do not copy and if you going to use gladiators and warriors make it raw.
The time period in which Gay of Thrones supposedly takes place — They had condoms then?? WOW!! Who knew?!
"Gay of Thrones"… that's a College Humor series already. Way to be imaginative with the name. You won't even get a top google hit with CH blocking the title with their content.
Lol I agree I love game of thrones but that's wack xD
Ridiculous. Tacky.
For me, two guys who are closer to creepy than attractive. Not my deal, thanks.
this is so damn hot
well a lot of critics out there love men.com shit game of thrones hot on fire hell fucking yeah plus its time to make thick bottoms big dick tops let loose try some other shit
I would like to enjoy porn flicks, but I just can't get past the insult to my intelligence. Ridiculous premises, weak plot, if any, terrible "acting," and cheesy production are so distracting. The only thing that could make it worse is to make a laughable copy of a mainstream series.
omg ! it's so funny. one of the studs has more eyeliner on than Cher live on stage in her DRESSED TO KILL concert ! Better yet, remember Tammy Faye Baker, the dude is totally wearing her eye make-up.
and what IS that laughable girdle, waist binding corset mr. top man is wearing….jeesh….its really funny. not sexy at all. please just trash this film and start over again.
its not working for me.
but, thanks for a good laugh :-))
Oh Jesus Christ and a Christmas tree!! GAG ME!!! I'd rather chew my arm off!

Seattle -- In one sense, the New Orleans Saints are reliant upon remembering history so it doesn't repeat itself. In another, the Saints can't lean on their most recent performance and simply hope history will repeat itself.
Sean Payton, Drew Brees and the rest of the gang haven't forgotten how the Seahawks dismantled them 34-7 on Dec. 2 as they prepared this week for their rematch in Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game at CenturyLink Field.
Yet they're buoyed by their 26-24 win at Philadelphia in the wild-card round of the playoffs, exorcizing road demons along the way.
"I think that you look closely at the film," Payton said. "You have a ton of film to watch and you are looking to correct the errors and get ready to play a team that is going to be rested and a team that had an outstanding season, an amazing season."
The Saints showed as much grit and guts as they've displayed all season by pulling off the last-second win at the Eagles. The Saints' offense uncharacteristically dominated in the running game, and the defense characteristically shut down the opposing offense.
"We can't take what happened last week and be like we're going to duplicate that again," guard Jahri Evans said. "It's a different game plan and a different team."
The Saints (12-5) learned firsthand how different of a team the Seahawks can be, especially in Seattle (13-3), as New Orleans began its previously ugly trend of stinkers on the road in early December.
New Orleans produced its lowest point total since 2008 in the loss to Seattle. The offense tallied its fewest total yards in the Payton/Drew Brees era with only 188.
"They did a lot of things well," Brees said. "They rushed the passer well. They covered well. We didn't feel like, at the end of the day we felt like we didn't have much rhythm, we didn't have many opportunities.
The Seahawks' pass defense held Brees to one of this lowest passing outputs of his NFL career, 147 yards. What may have been even more discouraging for Brees was the average of 3.9 yards per pass attempt, meaning the Seahawks took away the intermediate and deep routes the Brees loves to use.
Throw in the Cliff Avril sack on Brees and fumble recovery for a touchdown by Michael Bennett and it was a Monday night Brees wanted to forget. And yet Brees kept the Seahawks game filed in his memory bank, yearning for another meeting. Brees said after the Week 13 loss that the road to the Super Bowl for the Saints would likely have to travel through the Pacific Northwest.
"All of that is just obviously managing the circumstances, managing the crowd noise, managing all that stuff, finding ways to create rhythm within your game plan, doing well on first down, getting yourself in a third-and-manageable position before they just pin their ears back and come back to you," Brees said.
Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan said his unit failed at "pretty much everything" the last time New Orleans faced Seattle.
The 34 points allowed were the most the Saints surrendered in a game all season. The 429 yards allowed to the Seahawks were the second-highest total given up by the Saints. Quarterback Russell Wilson racked up 310 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
"We really didn't play our style of game at all. I think that's really the only game that I just don't think we were ourselves at all," Ryan said. "Whatever it was, we made mental mistakes, we made fundamental mistakes, some technique things.
"We pride ourselves on playing the game the right way. I don't think we really did that. Obviously the execution of their quarterback was something to be seen. Hopefully he doesn't have that type of game against us again, or we're in big trouble."
The overall performance commenced the road domino effect as the Saints dropped their final three away games and fell from a potential No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff race to ultimately the sixth seed.
But here's where the Saints can take solace in recent history. The Saints settled down after two first-half turnovers in Philadelphia to win the team's first road playoff game in franchise history -- bucking a trend that plagued them during the season.
"Being resilient, having a resilient team," Brees said. "Having a team that doesn't have a panic button. We can overcome because defensively we're built that way. Offensively we're built that way. We're built to score and to score quickly, also to be able to possess the ball. All of that breeds confidence in no matter what happens, we have a chance."
By now Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has watched every piece of offensive tape from last week's Saints win. Simply seeing the result of the game had Sherman sensing the Saints will come into this Saturday's contest with an added jolt.
"I really don't think we have a mental edge to tell you the truth because they are just coming off a win on the road, their first playoff win on the road and they are playing good football," Sherman said. "They are running the ball extremely well and that is different from the game we played against them previously.
"I think they are a confident bunch. They are running their offense very effectively. I think they are feeling good."
The Saints can also hang on to some added history. Sixth seeds are 6-2 in the postseason when facing a No. 1 seed since 2005.
"I think we were confident going into Seattle last time we played them," Payton said. "Obviously we didn't play well enough. It is not about should they be more confident, we are in this tournament where you win and you continue and if you lose, you don't. That's pretty simple."

The Gray Hair Watch is on for Eric Wedge
Nino Colla | Friday, June 13, 2008 | Eric Wedge | Gray Hair Watch | Theories
Sorry for the silly cell phone picture, but my digital camera is dead right now. Still you can see the bottom of his goatee has turned completely white, compared to just a little gray back in October.
Coaches I think age over time more than regular people. They are always stressed out. You can take a side by side of a coach now and from say 5 years ago and he will look completely different.. Do it with a regular person with a nice job and I'm pretty sure they will look similar.
I really feel bad for Eric Wedge. Guy doesn't know what to do at this point and it literally is making him older than he actually is. Remember this is a 40 year old man. He's gonna look like a grandpa by the time he's 45.
Hell, Jamie Moyer is 45 and still playing. Eric Wedge looks like he's ready to head off to the old folks home.
Eric... Take some time to kick back man. I don't want your kids to see you without your normal hair color. That's embarrassing for a youngin.

Energy and the Environment
Is $4 gas here to stay? Should we still drill in the Alaskan wilderness after what we just saw happened in the Gulf of Mexico? What are the consequences of buying oil from OPEC? Why are there so many new wind farms in the North Country? Should we fund more nuclear plants or rely instead upon hydro-electric dams? Is there such a thing as "clean coal"? What about new technologies? Questions like these, and dozens of other energy-related issues, have figured prominently in American politics during the past few years. Decisions being made today about energy production and consumption will lead to economic, political, social, and environmental consequences that will remain with us for decades, maybe even centuries. As a result, thoughtful citizens across the country are demanding to be a part of the decision-making process. In this course, students will delve into aspects of the energy debate through their own research projects.

The state of Virginia has temporarily lost its battle to uphold its state ban on gay-marriage when a federal court judge declared it unconstitutional Thursday, according to Bloomberg Business. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen in Norfolk ruled that gays and lesbians that are citizens have what she termed was a "fundamental freedom to choose to marry." The state's right to choose what is legal and illegal within its state boundaries as established by U.S. Constitution's 10th Amendment which establishes, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
It was the people of the state of Virginia that determined that gay-marriage was and is not a right that has any legal basis in the state. The federal judge determined that by using creative license the court could craft a dismembering of the state's sovereign rights to make law.
The court's determination to create new law was self-evident in how it presented its rationale, by stating, "Government interests in perpetuating traditions, shielding state matters from federal interference, and favoring one model of parenting over others must yield to this country's cherished protections that ensure the exercise of the private choices of the individual citizen regarding love and family," reported Bloomberg Business.
What is unclear is from what mystical legal well of law did the federal judge find abolition to a right in Virginia to ban love and family when its citizens passed the voter-approved 2006 constitutional amendment? Families could still live and share homes and lives in Virginia, as before. No one was coming into their homes to drag them out and arrest them in the dead of night.
So one could see this "right" was something that was developed in the mind of Obama whose on again off again and then on again courtship with all things gay is now on again. It was Obama, who ordered his U.S. Justice Department to stand down and not enforce the federal Defense of Marriage Act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It was Obama who has led and fed gay-oriented disruptions of state's marriage rights.
Does it make the voters who supported anti-gay marriage laws of Virginia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Utah or New Jersey wrong in their decisions? Of course the decision were not, under the sovereign powers granted their states by the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Even the U.S. Supreme Court has been treading lightly in taking away an expressed legal power of states to grant marriage, as it did when dealing with DOMA in a 2013 ruling.
The disassembling of Virginia's right to determine what is and is not a legal marriage in its Commonwealth is a clear indication of the need for focused attention on who will next sit in the Oval Office after 2016. Otherwise, residents of Virginia or anywhere else in America will be witnessing the complete unraveling of America and the U.S. Constitution.

This is primarily achieved through a program of Fulbright Scholarships to support research and study by Australians in the United States and by Americans in Australia.
Fulbright Scholarship information
The Fulbright Commission
The Australian-American Fulbright Program celebrated its 60th Anniversary recently.
Born of the impact of World War II, the international Fulbright Program was established in 1946 through the initiative of U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright and the support of the United States Government, initially funded through the sale of surplus war materials.
Since then more than 300,000 talented people worldwide have been recognised as Fulbright Scholars. It is now the largest and one of the most prestigious educational scholarship programs in the world and operates between the United States and more than 155 countries.
The treaty establishing the Fulbright Program in Australia was signed on 26 November 1949, by the U.S. Ambassador to Australia, The Hon. Pete Jarman, and the Australian Minister for External Affairs, The Rt Hon. Dr H.V. Evatt. The initial sale of U.S. surplus war materials to Australia provided $US5.8m, which funded the first 14 years of the program.
Following this, a new agreement was entered into in 1964 by the Australian and U.S. governments to establish the Australian-American Educational Foundation (later to be known as the Australian-American Fulbright Commission), funded equally by the two parties.
Today the Australian-American Fulbright Commission, headquartered in Canberra, continues to be funded by the Australian and U.S. governments, along with a generous group of sponsors, and annually provides up to 50 scholarships for study between Australia and the U.S.
The Prime Minister of Australia and the U.S. Ambassador are the Honorary Co-Chairs of the Commission. Since its establishment the Commission has awarded scholarships to more than 2,700 Australians and 2,000 Americans. A distinguished group of Alumni are thus an integral part of the Program's rich history and ongoing professional network.

If there's one thing that Twitter is good for, it's having meta conversations quietly in a room full of people talking about something else. Yesterday I posted Gerald Asher's keynote speech to the Symposium for Professional Wine Writers. Towards the end of that speech he said something which sparked a conversation between a few of us attendees on Twitter.
He made the statement: "I'm not very sympathetic to the world of wine criticism. It's not like music criticism, or any of the arts" in response to my question about whether he distinguished wine writing and wine criticism.
The resulting silent conversation on Twitter was great (if I do say so myself) and reminded me of a little 21st Century virtual version of the group interviews/discussions that Harper's Monthly occasionally publishes, where they get a bunch of really interesting people in a room and get them to talk about some topic.
Now I don't pretend that the players involved here represent luminaries of any kind, nor do I entirely know whether you'll find the conversation as interesting as I did, but I went to the effort of extracting it from Twitter and cleaning it up a bit for your reading pleasure.
For your reference, the primary folks involved are myself; Howard Goldberg, a wine writer for the New York Times; and Bruce Schoenfeld, the food and wine columnist for Travel and Leisure Magazine. We are joined partway through the conversation by Lenn Thompson, fellow wine blogger at the New York Cork Report, and Amy Cleary, blogger and marketing director at U.C. Press, chimes in at one point as well.
Howard G. Goldberg: I disagree with Gerald. Wine criticism and music criticism, addressing flowing, elusive, unreproducible phenomena, are parallel.
Alder Yarrow: I also disagree with Gerald, on that point. I think there are strong parallels between wine criticism and art criticism
Howard G. Goldberg: I've shared that idea but stumbled on a key element: You can return to the changeless artwork to say more. But never the wine.
Alder Yarrow: Well put, but I think they share a unique challenge: translating a wordless emotional experience into words, insufficiently
Bruce Schoenfeld: And also, art plays a vastly different role in life than wine, don't you think? Though they share elements.
Howard G. Goldberg: Exactly. There's an art of winemaking. The result can be artful. But wine itself is not art.
Alder Yarrow: Absolutely, wine is not art. Wine becomes part of our bodies, it is food. Art is always outside us.
Bruce Schoenfeld: But 99% of wines are just something to drink. No greater ambition is sought. All art is ambitious.
Alder Yarrow: Hmm, not sure I fully agree with the point about ambition.
Bruce Schoenfeld: Art is attempting to do/say something. Most wines are made like most bread is made. Just a food.
Bruce Schoenfeld: I agree w/ Alder. Art is outside us. Wine is something we ingest, and think about or not.
Howard G. Goldberg: Agreed, Bruce, just a food. But I feel that some vintners strive to make philosophical statements.
Lenn Thompson: Don't agree that all art fits the "attempts to do/say something" characterization.
Alder Yarrow: Some kinds of art can simply be about evoking something, some pleasure. Not narrative.
Lenn Thompson: I think that truly great art (as with wine) does get inside us, moves us.
Howard G. Goldberg: I find that great wine moves me considerably. Any critic who has a prostate feels that way.
Bruce Schoenfeld: But the artist aspires to evoke the pleasure. It's purposeful. That distinguishes art from nature.
Lenn Thompson: Winemaking is purposeful. It doesn't happen on its own. Purpose varies of course.
Alder Yarrow: Agreed. Intention may distinguish art from nature, but it doesn't distinguish art from wine.
Bruce Schoenfeld: It does! Art is an attempt to create emotion + can be judged by that standard. Most wine can't.
Lenn Thompson: Right, Alder. Wine is not nature.
Howard G. Goldberg: "Wine is not nature" is a position likely to invite a hand grenade from "natural-wine" champions.
Lenn Thompson: All wine creates an emotion.
Amy Cleary: Really? All wine? I'd say good or even interesting wine. But not all.
Bruce Schoenfeld: NOT all wine creates an emotion in most people. Very few do. And that's just fine with them.
Alder Yarrow: But the critics job is to perceive things that many consumers don't notice, right?
Bruce Schoenfeld: A wine WRITER's job is to use wine to tell stories + stories to explain wine. Not sure what a wine critic does.
Howard G. Goldberg: Critics can't know fully what consumers notice or don't. Their duty is to discover what they haven't noticed.
Bruce Schoenfeld: In art, yes. But in wine, I'd say that isn't the critic's job. Which circles me back around to my 1st comment.

1/4 lb. grated longhorn cheese
3/4 lb. melted margarine or butter

1/2 stick margarine or butter
2 eggs

Well, yes... the typical New Year's resolutions revolve around losing weight, quitting smoking, reading more frequently, and saving up -among others. But how about setting yourself up for traveling more often? Whether you travel on your own, with your significant other, with your family, or with friends; seeing new places learning about other cultures, tasting new foods and getting to meet and make friends with new people is an unbelievable and priceless experience!
How about making a list of places that you would like to visit short, mid, and long-term? I'd suggest drafting a matrix in which you write down the place, things you envision doing at that place, a rough estimate of how much it would cost you to do it including transportation, accommodation, meals and certain activities; and the timeframe in which you'd like to get there. Visualizing yourself at your desired destination is equally important with saving up, planning and booking your trip. Visualization will definitely help attracting and making your dreams come true.
Here's an example of what your table could look like:
Place --- Things to Do --- Timeframe --- $ Estimate
Sedona---Hike, Visit Downtown, Visit Rock Cathedral---2 Days, April 2013---$500
Paris---Walk thru touristic spots, visit Louvre, visit Versailles---1 Week, Sep 2013---$3000
Creating this table will also help you figure out ways to budget and save up in a faster manner for each one of your desired trips.
With this said, may you and your loved ones have a wonderful time during the holidays and may 2013 be filled with blessing and many exciting trips!

CES 2010 - Also at Storage Visions we stopped by to visit Micron who were showing off the Crucial RealSSD C300 that was just announced earlier this morning.
We got a demo of the SSD running on a Shuttle XPC system and just what type of performance it can offer. The system is running Windows 7 and highlighted is boot time, loading large image files and also shut down performance.
In the video we shot below we also get a look inside the drive and we see the Micron flash chips that are put to good use. Chris will be getting one into his lab for review soon, so stay tuned.
More to follow later. Sorry about the end of the video - there must have been an upload error!
