Houston Mayor Annise Parker held a press conference and reception in the rotunda of Houston City Hall on Thursday June 12, joined by former Secretary of State James Baker to announce a special commemorative concert by the Leipzig Symphony to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Nearly 100 invitees, stakeholders, and elected officials attended the reception.
Leipzig, was the scene of many of the peaceful demonstrations in the former Communist East Germany in 1979 that led to the fall of the government, and subsequently, the destruction of the Berlin Wall on November 3, 1979. At that time, George H.W. Bush was president, and James Baker was Secretary of State. Both Bush and Baker are Houstonians. Baker attended the announcement and briefly outlined the historical context. Shortly after the fall of the wall, a young student, now Dr. Stefan Roehrbeine, initiated discussions of establishng a Sister City relationship with Houston. The process reslulted in an official resolution of Houston City Council in 1992 under then Mayor Lanier.
Clemens Kroll, Acting German Consul in Houston, recalled the excitenent of the time. He was about take the difficult final exams for the foreign service as the events rapidly unfolded, leading to the re-unification of Germany, the celebrations in Berlin that accompanied the dismantling of the wall, and the beginning of a new era in world politics. He stated that his was the first class to be joined by students from the former East Germany.
Mark C. Hanson, Executive Director and CEO of the Houston Symphony, noted particularly that the incoming director is the current director of the Leipzig Gerwandhausorchester. He will be inaugurating his term as director in September, and returning Leipzig to conduct a concert in April 2015. Lindsey Kroll and Steve Braun, President-elect and past President, respectively, of the Houston-Leipzig Sister City Association, shared personal perspectives on the event and the ongoing continual relationship between the two cities.

Egypt on the path of democracy
Egypt on the path of democracy
The minister of antiquities Mohamed Ibrahim called on those who have antiquities stolen from Mallawi Museum in the Upper Egypt governorate of Menya to send them back to the bodies affiliated to the ministry.
This came after the museum in question was stormed and stolen on Wednesday evening.
The minister promised not to penalize them, but rather he would reward them in case they hastened to hand over the stolen objects.
He also noted that the stolen objects are internationally recorded and recognized, thus they cannot be sold inside or even outside Egypt.

Opening its 1st location outside of Texas a few months ago in Scottsdale, Hopdoddy Burger Bar www.hopdoddy.com is the newest entrant on the valley's burger scene. With lines out the door at certain times of day, sometimes as much of a 40 minute wait, I made way there on a Sunday afternoon to see if it was all that and then some. With 12 burgers ($6.00- $12.00) on the menu that include Angus beef, lamb, bison, turkey and more I went back and forth deciding on the Magic Shroom burger ($8.50).
Using hormone & antibiotic free Angus beef, the burger is topped with a combination of sauteed field mushrooms and Texas goat cheese while the fresh baked and toasted Brioche bun is spread with basil pesto and mayo. Coming served on an over-sized baking sheet was a good thing as the burger was juicy from its pink in the middle rare to medium rare I requested. Bite after bite you knew there was basil pesto and goat cheese on this burger as they both are strong in flavor and added interesting flavors to the burger. I found the combination of all flavors to be good and satisfying. Hand cut Kennebec fries are served a la carte and were good other than I found they were a little shorter than most other fries I've had. They came in handy for dipping with the juices and pesto drizzling of the burger.
Having heard from others the burgers were a bit on the expensive side I found they were in line with other comparable burgers around town and look forward to returning to try other burgers that caught my eye.
Hopdoddy is open Sun. - Thurs. from 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. and Fri. & Sat. from 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. and is located at 11055 N. Scottsdale Rd. Scottsdale 85254 480-348-2337.

Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?

Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? Freedom and Confinement Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Paragraph)
Quote #4
[Connie] had the idea that he had driven up the driveway all right but had come from nowhere before that and belonged nowhere and that everything about him and even about the music that was so familiar to her was only half real. (94)
Connie may feel that her home is a prison (see the second quote above), but the outside world, the "nowhere" of Arnold, is just as terrifying.
Quote #5
"—going to call the police—"
"Soon as you touch the phone I don't need to keep my promise and can come inside [...] anybody can break through a screen door and glass and wood and iron or anything else if he needs to, anybody at all, and specially Arnold Friend." (116-118)
Even the threat of the police can't keep Arnold at bay, suggesting that he is somehow above or beyond the law.
Quote #6
A noisy sorrowful wailing rose all about her and she was locked inside it the way she was locked inside this house. (144)
Connie's terror is often described through images of confinement or imprisonment. Here the home is both her haven and her prison: it protects her against Arnold at the same time that it traps her.

The Scotties volleyball team came home from the two-day Chinook Invitational with a third-place finish after winning the consolation finals over Simms, 2-0. Shelby took the trophy home after defeating Cut Bank, 25-23, 25-24.
The Scotties had a hard time getting into the tournament, according to coach Lori Dailey. The team only won one game on Friday and the coach had to gather her players and have a motivational talk with them.
"Friday was dismal and was not our best performance," Dailey said. "We talked about it for an hour, deciding to not dwell on our mistakes and move on. Saturday...

Putting a Face on Theatre
This week, I tried something I'd never done before, but was always interested in doing: rock climbing. Purdue's recreational sports center debuted a new climbing facility last semester, and I finally took the plunge this week and started climbing.
True confessions: first, I'm not very good yet (I've climbed exactly twice!). Second, I'm pretty afraid of heights. (I know, I know! A theatre technician afraid of heights?! I don't like them, but I get over it when I have to for my job.) So all of this is pretty far outside my comfort zone. Maybe that's why I started thinking about the ways climbing overlaps with much of what we do in theatre--as a way to feel less uncomfortable. Regardless of the reason, I have been thinking about what I have been learning in terms of what we do on stage, and I am fascinated by the connections.
My first realization? I've been belaying for years--just not in harness, not with a belay device, and not--obviously--for people. But as I was doing it, I found myself falling into some familiar body-memory motions. The physicality was not terribly different from hoisting or guiding scenery with a bull rope, especially when you holding it in place for a rigger: the rope often goes under your foot, non-dominant hand on the live end of the rope, and dominant on the dead end. Your foot becomes--in some ways--like a belay device, helping to brake the load.
And, of course, there's the rope. We've got our hands on ropes all the time, and I was surprised by how familiar grasping, holding, and pulling that belay rope felt. Ropes have been friends for a long time--the only new information for me was the figure-eight knot; but that came pretty easily--after all, knots have been friends of mine for a long time as well.
Finally, the physics involved is kind of our bread and butter, right? Static loads, dynamic loads, resultant forces along diagonal vectors. I found myself thinking about the differences between keeping my side of the belay rope (as a belayer) mostly vertical vs. moving away from the wall, keeping my side of the rope more at an angle. Basic physics, right? Say the climber is 180#, and is 20 feet in the air. If I'm standing 10' from the wall, the length of my side of the belay rope is going to be the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 20' and 10', or about 22.4'. The rule of similar triangle tells us that if my climber sits in their harness--i.e., does not impart a dynamic load of any kind, but simple lets the rope hold their weight--their 180# will feel like 201.25# on my side of the belay rope. However, if I move closer to the wall--at a distance of 5'--the load I'll feel will get closer to the weight of the climber: 185#.
Gravity is pulling the belayer straight down; the rope will pull the belayer up but also toward the wall. Indeed, only 180# of force will be pulling up (the forces form the same right triangle as above); only about 90# of force will be pulling the belayer toward the wall. A 180# belayer who can resist 90# of pull toward the wall will be just fine. A 150# belayer, however, would appear to have problems, at least mathematically. So how is it that I can watch belayers that are clearly much lighter than their climbers successfully belay?
The analysis above only deals with a particular moment of time. If we imagine our 180# climber and our 150# belayer (standing 10' from the wall), the analysis is true for the instant the climber rests on the rope. Almost immediately, the belayer will be pulled off the ground and simultaneously swing toward the wall. This swing shortens the length of the belay rope, bringing the load on the belay rope closer to the weight of the climber for every second the belayer is moving closer to the wall, bringing the differential of the load on the ropes closer to the differential of their weight, or 30#.
Okay. So the belayer has swung into the wall, and the differential is only 30#. That should still be enough to lift the belayer off the floor, right? Well, yes. Except for the fact that there's friction in the system. The belay rope passes over a belay bar or other device; because of this, the rope can only travel so fast. The friction may not be large; but even a small decrease in the possible rate of acceleration of the rope reduces the amount of force imparted to the belayer. (A low-friction belay bar would mean that the belayer would, indeed, come up off the ground!)
Obviously, things get more complicated when a climber falls because the dynamic load of the fall imparts a--potentially significantly--higher load on the belay rope. But the basic physics remains the same: we can calculate the load using vector math and similar triangles and (if we knew the coefficient of friction on the belay device) basic principles of friction of a rope around an object. In most cases, if the weight differential between the climber and the belayer isn't significant, everything should work out just fine. :)
Maybe taking your students to a climbing wall to look at the physics of falling wouldn't be a bad idea. I plan to take mine!

The Wildcats picked off CSC four times, behind three interceptions from junior corner back Johua Fairley. Baker intercepted starting quarterback Curtis Widener three times and backup Jake Hoffman once. Adrian Pearson picked off the other pass for the Wildcats.
Baker is now 6-2 on the year and 5-2 in the HAAC, while Culver-Stockton falls to 1-8 overall and 0-8 in the conference.
The Wildcats will now prepare for a showdown at No. 21 Benedictine next Saturday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. Benedictine only defeated Avila, 45-42, on Saturday at AU.
In Saturday's game, CSC scored first with 9:54 to play in the first quarter, as kicker Michael Camargo nailed a 17-yard field goal. That gave CSC its only lead of the day.
Baker took the lead back with 1:02 remaining in the first quarter, when Jake Morse connected with Jake Green for a 25-yard touchdown pass.
Jermaine Broomfield then ran past CSC on a 18-yard reception from Morse into the end zone to put Baker up 13-3. Steven Stewart had the extra-point blocked.
Stewart then made up for it with a 27-yard field goal before halftime to put Baker up 16-3 at halftime.
Jake Morse then scored with his legs on the next two touchdowns for Baker, as he ran in from one yard out with 4:22 left in the third quarter to put the Wildcats up 22-3, then scored again three minutes later on a two-yard run to put Baker up, 29-3.
Widener threw his only touchdown of the night to Nick Hill on a 26-yard reception with :30 second left in the game to bring the final score to 29-9.
The Baker defense not only picked off CSC four times but also held them to just 52 yards rushing and gave up the fewest points of the season.
Broomfield led the offense with 150 yards rushing and Dillon Baxter added 49 yards on 4.1 yards per carry.
Jake Morse was 9-of-23 passing for 128 yards and two scores and Green led the way with 48 yards receiving. Emmerson Clarke had a team high eight tackles and Andre Jolly had two more sacks to bring his season total to 11.
STATS: Baker 29 – Culver-Stockton 9

Archive for August, 2006
What I'm reading
I finished piecing the 9 patch top so I can start September and a new quilt with a clear conscience! It will join my other finished tops and age on the shelf for a while.
I haven't posted my reading list recently but I've still been reading plenty. Here are the most recent ones.
Knitting: A Novel Anne Bartlett
I like reading novels where the characters have the same interests that I do. In this case its knitting and I liked this book OK – but the beginning was better than the end.
Lover's Knot Emilie Richards
On a similar note but this time with quilting. I've mentioned before that I like series where I can get to know a group of characters. This Shenandoah Album series is really light reading but I enjoy them.
Duchess: A Novel of Sarah Churchill Susan Holloway Scott
If you like historical fiction then I'd recommend this one.
Beautiful Lies Lisa Unger
This was a good mystery, it looks like it was her first but she's got another book coming out in January 2007 so I'll add her to my list of authors.
Motive John Lescroart
Another good mystery with recurring characters. I like all of his books.
The Things We Do for Love Kristin Hannah
I also enjoyed this book – it was about family relationships AND it was on the bargain table which is always a plus!
and last but not least a book recommended by Sam
The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade Ann Fessler
Very interesting and sad – I read this in the car a couple weekends ago on the way to the wedding shower for Becky. Keith and I had some really intense discussions about the topic as I'd read a bit and then feel the need to discuss and he just happened to be trapped in the car with me for 10+ hours.
Quilt Pink and Judy's 1 hour Quilt
August is almost over and that means I can get ready to start a new quilt. I'll probably run right to the bookstore too and buy a bunch of quilt books just to make up for the month without any. I don't think I will challenge myself to not buy books again however not starting a new project was good for me.
I've been wanting to do both Judy's 1 hour quilt and make a quilt for Quilt Pink. Since I've got limited time in September for quilting I'm going to combine both and make the 1 hour quilt out of my pink fat quarters and donate it. I'll have to buy some of one of the pink fabrics for a border but I already have the fat quarters and background so it will be mostly from stash. Now if I can just finish piecing the Nine patch top before I start my 1 hour Pink Quilt I'll feel like I actually accomplished something with my August Challenge.
Home from Seattle
I didn't get any quilting or piecing done today but I did work on some quilt related activities. I worked with some members of my bee group showing them how to resize and upload pictures to the guild's picturetrail account and then we met up with other members of our group.
They treated me to lunch and gave me a gift certificate for a quilt shop in Minneapolis as a goodbye present. Although I'm not moving yet I will only be able to attend one more meeting before leaving so it was really nice to see them all.
We had a great time in Seattle and did lots of walking around the city. On Saturday, Keith and I took a walk on the Elliott Bay Trail. In this picture we were heading back to the city – it was beautiful!
Is anyone still looking for Judy
She requested that everyone help get her new blog address out there so if anyone is still uninformed, Judy's old blog Sunshine Quilts is no longer active and you can find her now at Judy's Blog.
Churchmouse Yarns & Teas
This is really stupid but I didn't even think to check to weather in Seattle before leaving Atlanta – it's August so I packed shorts. The first thing I had to do this morning was buy a sweatshirt. I'd worn jeans on the plane but didn't think to pack a jacket or sweatshirt – did I mention it's AUGUST?! This probably indicates how unprepared I am to live in Minneapolis!!
I've had a wonderful day – walking all over downtown Seattle, taking a ferry to Bainbridge Island and walking around there, and visiting Churchmouse Yarns & Teas.
I'd visited Seattle last summer for the first time and found this yarn shop – they were SO helpful and encouraging that I decided I could teach myself to knit. I bought a great book and some yarn and have been knitting (very simple things that don't have to fit) ever since. I wanted to visit them again this year and get yarn for a hat and scarf. They spent time helping me find simple patterns and yarn. I love this place!
No progress
I haven't made any progress on any of my quilting projects over the last couple days. Yesterday I did a 15 mile hike which took most of my day and today I did a quick 4 miles on the treadmill in between doing laundry and getting ready for another trip.
This time we're off to Seattle until Sunday night. Keith will be working most of the trip but I'll get to explore the city.
Patti commented on my posts about hiking. She was wondering whether I was walking or hiking when I'd post a 5 or 10 mile hike. I've got to do a ton of miles to prepare for the Breast Cancer Walk in October and although most of the training walks are supposed to be *easy* miles I prefer to be out on the trail rather than walking on a treadmill or even around my neighborhood. Most of the trails we're hiking are rated moderately difficult and I'm hoping that by working harder now the 60 miles will be easier in October.
As the suggested training miles have increased I have started doing some of them on the treadmill just because I don't always have time to drive out to a trail. Days like today, I'm lucky to log any miles at all so I just bite the bullet and jump on the treadmill no matter how much I hate it!
We're back from the Bridal Shower
The drive was a pain but we enjoyed seeing Chris and Becky. They got lots of presents mainly for the kitchen – someone's going to have to start cooking more!
I don't think I've shared a picture of the kids so I pulled this one from the trip we took to Virginia in June to introduce Becky to my family. Adam was able to get off work and came with us too.
We got back in time yesterday to do a 5 mile hike and then I started piecing the blocks together for the nine patch quilt.
Another UFO
I was looking for a backing for another quilt yesterday and came across this blue that was perfect for some nine patch blocks that have been sitting around forever. After a 10 mile hike yesterday afternoon I got the blue cut and laid out the blocks for a small donation quilt.
We're off to Kingsland, GA for a bridal shower for Becky. Keith is coming along for the 5 and 1/2 hour drive and we'll take the kids out to dinner tonight before heading back in the morning.
Donation Quilts
August is the month we turn in quilts for our guild's community service project and donation quilts will be collected at this month's meeting and given to the local Ronald McDonald House. I turned mine in early since I'll miss the meeting next week.
Hexagon Flowers
I'm making progress on my 3 tasks. Last night I got the binding made and machine stitched down on the wedding quilt. I even had the label made so I sewed it into the corner as I was putting the binding on. Now I just have to hand stitch them down.
Since I can't show a picture of that quilt I'll show one of my other UFO's I'm working on. I love making Hexagon flowers as a take along project but will NEVER make a traditional grandmother's flower garden quilt.
I had intended to set these flowers with an alternate block that would create a chain but then I saw a strippie quilt in one of the Australian magazines and decided to go with that setting. I don't have much of the pink and cream fabric so it will be a lap size donation quilt and I probably have enough flowers already made. I need to make the leaves and then stitch it all down.

There is evidence of a strong capacity for functional and structural reorganization in the human motor system. However, past research has focused mainly on complex movement sequences over rather short training durations. In this study we investigated changes in corticospinal excitability associated with longer training of elementary, maximum-speed tapping movements. All participating subjects were consistent right-handers and were trained using either the right (experiment 1) or the left thumb (experiment 2). Transcranial magnetic stimulation was applied to obtain motor evoked potentials (MEPs) from the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscle of the right and the left hand before and after training. As a result of training, a significant increase was observed in tapping speed accompanied by increased MEPs, recorded from the trained APB muscle, following contralateral M1 stimulation. In the case of subdominant-hand training we additionally demonstrate increased MEP amplitudes evoked at the right APB (untrained hand) in the first training week. Enhanced corticospinal excitability associated with practice of elementary movements may constitute a necessary precursor for inducing plastic changes within the motor system. The involvement of the ipsilateral left M1 likely reflects the predominant role of the left M1 in the general control (modification) of simple motor parameters in right-handed subjects.

In the top-secret Google X lab that also came up with a driverless car, Google's Web-surfing eyeglasses and Project Loon, there's something else being cooked up. Google is developing devices that will relay your medical condition to your doctor's office seamlessly and without so much as a needle-prick. Who knew that even doctors are behind the scenes on one of Google's most exclusive research teams?
Google is doing research on contact lenses that would measure blood sugar for the world's 382 million diabetics. Until this week, when Google shared information about the project with The Associated Press, the work had been kept under wraps. Google has also applied for a patent on contact lens cameras.
Brian Otis, Google X project lead, has burned his fingertips so often that he can no longer feel the tiny chips he made from scratch in Google's Silicon Valley headquarters, a small price to pay for what he says is the smallest wireless glucose sensor that has ever been made.
"You can take it to a certain level in an academic setting, but at Google we were given the latitude to invest in this project," Otis says. "The beautiful thing is we're leveraging all of the innovation in the semiconductor industry that was aimed at making cellphones smaller and more powerful."
Other non-needle glucose monitoring systems are also in the works, including a similar contact lens by Netherlands-based NovioSense, a minuscule, flexible spring that is tucked under an eyelid. Israel-based OrSense has already tested a thumb cuff, and there have been early designs for tattoos and saliva sensors.
Patients trying to navigate today's complex medical system with its costly laboratory analyses might prefer a pain-free home diagnostic device that can analyze, continuously record and immediately remedy dangerous levels of blood sugar, electrolytes, potassium and or magnesium that can trigger a blackout or trip to the ER.
Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico is patenting a similar prototype model that can analyze various electrolyte levels painlessly with microneedles you don't even feel. The device could decrease the time people must spend in emergency rooms, lab testing facilities or doctors' offices.
"This is the future of personalized health care," said Sandia researcher Ronen Polsky. "These wearable technologies are just starting to come out in different forms. It's inevitable that people will go there."

Mikel John Obi
Jos, Nigeria
"I went to Manchester United, they said they wanted to sign me but it didn't come up because what they promised, they did not fulfill."
- Mikel John Obi
For some reason his birth certificate reads "Mikel John Obi," but we could swear Chelsea's burgeoning midfielder's middle name is "Controversy." At least it should be. Despite his undeniable talent, the Nigerian's career has been plagued by various infamous incidents including a sketchy and lengthy dispute between Manchester United and Chelsea over his rights, and a series of incidents on the pitch that have exposed an unattractive temper. Still, his fearlessness and intelligence on the pitch make him a vital asset to both club and country, and if Nigeria has any hopes of making waves at the 2010 World Cup, Mikel John Obi will have to be at the top of his game.
Mikel John Obi BiographyMikel John Obi was born with football in his blood. His father played football as a teenager, and even managed to make waves for his local side Gombe XI, but in a time when his country was in the midst of a civil war, there was no money to be made for footballers. His son grew up under very different circumstances, in a time where African-born footballers were a hot commodity in Europe's top leagues. After being noticed by a local football academy, Obi was trained heavily before joining Plateau United, a club in the Nigerian Championship. After starring for Nigeria's Under-17 side at the 2003 World Youth Championship and the Under-20 side at the 2005 competition (where he won the Silver Ball for the tournament's second best player), Obi was scouted by the top brass at Manchester United, and Chelsea, which set the stage for his climb to the top of the footballing world.
europe's top clubs fight for the right to sign mikel john obiAs one of the most coveted players in the world, Mikel John Obi attracted the attention of Europe's top clubs. While under contract with Norway's Lyn Oslo, Manchester United announced that they had signed the young midfielder, and even held a press conference that saw Obi don a Red Devil jersey. But Chelsea claimed that they had reached an agreement with Obi, and that Man U had pressured him to sign with them instead. It wasn't long before the conflict spiraled out of control, with claims that Obi had been receiving threatening phone calls forcing his squad to assign him a personal squad. In an even stranger turn of events, Obi went missing from the stands during a Norwegian Cup game, which led some to believe that he had been kidnapped.
Manchester United's assistant manager, Carlos Queiroz, went so far as to accuse Chelsea of being involved in the alleged kidnapping. It was eventually learned that Obi had traveled to London with his agent to visit Chelsea representatives. After months of legal wrangling, Chelsea ended up paying Manchester United and Lyn Oslo a combined £16 million for the rights to Obi, a bold move whose consequences would be felt in time.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded Robert Coffey Jr., M.D., Ingram Professor of Cancer Research at Vanderbilt University, a five-year, $5.2 million grant to study the role of extracellular RNA (ex-RNA) in colorectal cancer.
Dr. Coffey received one of the 24 grants totaling $17 million that were awarded to 20 institutions through the Extracellular RNA Communication program supported by the NIH Common Fund.
Most RNA works inside cells to translate genes into proteins that are necessary for organisms to function. Now, recent findings show cells can release RNA in the form of exRNA to travel through body fluids and affect other cells. Researchers hope to use some kinds of exRNA as biomarkers, or indicators of the presence, absence, or stage of a disease, or to develop new molecular-based therapies.
For his project, entitled "Secreted RNA during CRC progression, biogenesis, function, and clinical markers," Dr. Coffey's lab will work with two teams of investigators from the University of California, San Francisco, and one team each from Massachusetts General Hospital and Rockefeller University to examine the mechanisms of exRNA biogenesis (production), distribution, and function.
Dr. Coffey will study the role that altered biogenesis of secreted RNAs in vesicles (exosomes) may play during the progression of colon cancer while working at Vanderbilt with Seth Karp, M.D., Charles Manning, Ph.D., Jeffrey Franklin, Ph.D., Alissa Weaver, M.D., Ph.D., James G. Patton, Ph.D., and Bing Zhang, Ph.D.

This two experiment paper examined how interpersonal competitors attend to and
individuate their opponents, extending the work on interdependence and individuation into
the realm of competitive interdependence. As expected, competitors increased attention to
expectancy-incongruent information, drew dispositional inferences about this infomration,
and formed more variable impressions than did noncompetitors. These effects were
strongest when the participants felt competent at the task.

Fertilizing Orchids
To help your orchids achieve and maintain optimal health, you should consider fertilizing them with a fertilizer that has been specifically designed and mixed for orchids. However, as with most things related to caring for orchids, it is possible to overdo things when it comes to fertilizing orchids.
By following a few basic guidelines you will be able to provide your orchids with just the right amount of the extra nutrients that they require!
Too Much Of A Good Thing
It is important to remember, when fertilizing orchids, that they do not require as much fertilizer as many of your other plants do; over-fertilizing your orchids can lead to a whole host of issues that it may not be possible to recover from.
Over-fertilizing can result in the leaves and roots of your orchids being burned; which in turn can result in the eventual loss of your orchid.
The addition of unnecessary nutrients will not encourage your orchids to grow or bloom at a more rapid rate; it will, instead, cause your orchids to begin a slow and steady decline.
On the flip side, but underfeeding your orchids you are also running the risk of stunting the new growth of your plants as well as seeing a rapid decline in the number and frequency of blooms.
A Few Basic Guidelines
To help you understand the best methods of fertilizing orchids, the following basic guidelines should set you on the right path to success with your orchids.
- Your orchids should be fertilized more frequently during the months of the year when there is active growth; the warmer summer and spring months are the seasons that orchids tend to do the majority of their growing. The amount of fertilizer that you use for your orchids should be adjusted for the season; in the cooler winter months when your orchids may not do a lot of growing or blooming, you should reduce the amount of fertilizer so that you can avoid burning the roots of your plants.
- A good rule of (green) thumb for fertilizing orchids is to do it weekly, with a weakened or diluted fertilizing solution. The "weekly, weakly" method will allow you to provide a constant source of vital nutrients to your plants without overdoing it.
- If you have any doubt about when you last fertilized your orchids, or if you have doubts about the concentration of the fertilizer that you are using it is best to feed a lesser amount. It is far easier to increase the amount of fertilizer offered to a plant than it is to try to recover the plant from an over-feeding situation.
- Even if you are feeding your orchids on a "weekly, weakly" schedule or with a very diluted concentration of fertilizer, it is still recommended that you flush your orchids with fresh water at least once every four to six weeks. This process will help to remove any excess fertilizer salts that may have accumulated on your orchid's roots.
It is important to note that not all orchid's will have the same fertilizer requirements; if you are unsure of what type of orchid you have or what its specific fertilizing needs may be, then it is generally best to err on the side of caution and under-fertilize, slowly increasing the concentration until you can find a good mixture that works for your orchids.
When fertilizing orchids or shopping for orchid food, be certain it is marked for use with your specific orchid; and remember that the average orchid fertilizer will provide nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Orchid foods that have a higher concentration of nitrogen are formulated to encourage plant growth whereas foods that contain a higher concentration of phosphorus has been formulated to encourage orchid blooming!

When Pierre Bourque, a Canadian Internet entrepreneur and journalist, contacted CoffeeAM we were honored that he was such a huge fan of our coffee. An internet journalist, painter, accomplished screenwriter, and author of four books, we decided to take his repertoire one step further and collaborate with him on making his very own coffee blend. When it came to naming the brew, he named it in honor of his sensational news website called, "Bourque Newswatch."
We used a subtle blend of Caribbean beans to make the star of Bourque Newswatch his perfect blend and now we want to share it with you! Bourque Newswatch Blend is a blended coffee that is sure to make headlines. The Bourque Blend has been reviewed and the reports are in..."it is delightful!" Order this blended coffee today, and surrender to the spell of the Caribbean mystery. Enjoy!
Bourque Newswatch Blend (1lb Bag)
This blend is a medium roast of Central American coffees that brew into a soft, mellow cup with a medium body and light acidity. With bold and delightful flavors of caramel and hints of chocolate, this blend is quite unique, just like its name.

My new fave from CoffeeAM!!
December 24, 2014
Bourque Newswatch blend had been tempting me for over a year, but CoffeeAM has so many other choices and I had to drinkup several to get thru my trial list. Finally, I was getting some holiday treats for others and decided to get Bourque Newswatch blend for myself. Excellent choice!! I love it first thing in the morning and just thru first lunch! :-) Seriously, it is a well balanced, full coffee flavor. I tried it in the french press and filtered dripper methods. The beans grind easily, cleanly and smell good. BNb is a perfect choice for me! yes-will be reordering; or even subscribing. Now THAT would be convenient!

A good blend, a bit of an edge
March 5, 2012
I like this coffee, but it lacks the "sweetness" in the initial taste that other blends of the same caliber have. I would order this one again. I have friends who would enjoy this blend. I personally prefer the French Roast by this same company as my all-time favorite. This one would tolerate cream well and perhaps it would better compliment certain foods.

If you love espresso, you'll hate Italia
February 9, 2011
Taste is obviously a very personal matter, but we are extremely disappointed with the Italia "espresso" beans we purchased. The roast seems lighter than described and the coffee doesn't taste anything like espresso to us. We also tried Verdi, and that was fine, but our overall experience with Coffee AM was disappointing enough that we will not be ordering again.
Cons:Doesn't taste like espresso

This collection of photographs comes from a recent afternoon when I had a bit of time to fiddle around with my camera in Delap's Cove. There is something about this little port which always draws my attention. I think what appeals to me is that this is still a working wharf. Through the mixing of rock, concrete and salt water, there is a harsh beauty to be found here. With the exception of a collection of buoys painted to sell to the odd tourist who happens to wander down to the wharf, this is not a site which is made to look "olde timey". Here you can smell the mixing aromas of lobster bait and diesel fuel. If your timing is right you can watch the boats head out or watch them unload their lobster when they return. From the end of the wharf I have seen a variety of species including porpoise, northern gannets, long tailed ducks and a whale I could not identify. This is a very interesting spot.
All for now,

Visually things have gotten better, a lot more small details filled in. Graphically, it is worse.
Dieheart's system now overheats and locks on character creation, but is fine everywhere else. I was getting what looked like 'heat shimmer' over most of the wonderful terrain
that made it look like garbage. I do not say that lightly either.
I reported almost a dozen bugs, which is what I really feel these tests are for. I can do all the character 'testing' I want once it goes Live. I want a playable game. I did find that under-clocking
the video card helped a lot. I tested the older nVidia drivers I had vs. these new beta drivers, hoping it was not GW2, but alas it was.
Turning off the character lighting was what 'corrected it' in the end. So they must have one hell of a specular/shadow issue!
I got a better frame rate this stress test than I did last time, about 16 fps better, but still nowhere near my 60-70 fps I got during BW2. I am floating near 50-55 fps now.
I am not sure what they changed from BW3 onwards. I know BW2 was all CPU. Maybe they reduced the process threads?
Anyhow, I EXPECT another stress test after what I experienced and saw on the forums. We shall see.

Four teams competed last week in the first week of the eight week competition Mason Dixon Master Chef Tournament, including The Mt. Airy Tavern, The Point in Fells, Bluegrass Tavern and Chef's Expressions. Each team prepared an original appetizer, entrée and dessert featuring products from sponsors Emmi Roth USA, Roland, Heinz, Hatfield, E. Goodwin & Sons Seafood, DeMedici. Chefs were required to use the proteins pork skirt and conch, as well as coconut water, pickapeppa sauce, papaya chunks, Chipotle concentrate, grand cru and passion fruit vinegar supplied by the week's sponsors. Chefs were also given a secret ingredient (a different one for each team) during cold prep that also had to be incorporated.
The three expert judges and panel of guest judges, made up of audience members who purchased 'Judging Experience' tickets, had a difficult task as they choose winners each night that eliminated two teams. In the end, The Point in Fells and Chef's Expressions were victorious and will face each other in Round 2 on Monday, July 21th (tickets available for purchase now online at www.MasonDixonMasterChef.com).
Guests were also treated to a complementary wine tasting and hors d'ouerves, prepared by host Alizee American Bistro, as well as a dessert bar and coffee to round out their evening. There was also a surprise appearance by Chef Jesse Sandlin (Top Chef Season 6), who dropped by to sit is as an expert judge for the evening on Tuesday.
Stay tuned to see who wins the next rounds!

On October 17, 2015, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland opens its latest exhibit, Graham Nash: Touching the Flame. Pieces from Nash's heroes and inspirations – the Beatles, the Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Buddy Holly and Duane Allman – and treasures from his time with the Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash come to life as the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee reflects on the visceral and profound impact of the music and world events on him and those around him.
In this interview, Graham Nash shares the story of how he left the Hollies and followed his heart to form CSN.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: What were your feelings were about The Hollies and how you had changed over the years? What informed your decision to leave?
Graham Nash:One of them was that I didn't feel that they trusted my need for direction. Every Hollie single that we had made, apart from the first couple made it to the top 10, and that's where we were used to being. We'd bring out a single, it would go into the top 10, that's what we ...
Noel Gallagher's role in defining British rock and roll in the 90s and beyond cannot be overstated. Along with younger brother and lead singer Liam, he led Oasis as the group's principle songwriter, lead guitarist and sometimes vocalist, delivering a succession of recordings that deeply resonated with fans around the globe, inspired a legion of similarly styled Britpop acts and turned the working-class lads from Manchester into bona fide rockstars. The group called it quits in 2009, with Noel reemerging in 2011 as Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. His self-titled debut topped the UK charts, and the March 2015 release of Chasing Yesterday sees Noel expanding on his rock repertoire yet still delivering the indelible melodies for which he's well-known.
We caught up with Noel during a tour stop in Cleveland, Ohio, where he toured the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: You've gone on record with a lot of thoughts on the state of rock and roll. What's Noel Gallagher's definition of rock and roll?
Noel Gallagher: To me, it's not a sound – it's not an idea. It's a spirit to ...
On a rare day off on our recent U.S. tour, both The Zombies and the band supporting us, Et Tu Brucé had the honour of being given a fantastic V.I.P. tour of Cleveland's superb Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.
We have actually visited before – as far as we can recall, though, not for eight years or so – but were absolutely stunned by the way the place has grown in that time, both in a physical sense and also the nature of what it has to offer. In actual fact, we stayed about three hours, and only managed to wander around about a third of it! It's an absolutely fascinating place, and one that now definitely demands to be visited several times – there's just too much to be packed in on one visit.
PHOTO GALLERY: The Zombies Tour the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
We started off by being given a kind and warm welcome by Greg Harris, who is, I believe, the head of the whole operation. Then we were shown around the vaults, to get glimpses of some of the stuff not presently available to be shown to the ...
The Clash possessed an indefinable chemistry that makes for a great band. Their explosive, uptempo punk-rock manifestos were unleashed with pure adrenaline and total conviction. Following the Sex Pistols' dissolution in January 1978, the Clash became the central voice of the punk movement and remained at the forefront for five years. Their albums - The Clash (1977), Give 'Em Enough Rope (1978), London Calling (1979), Sandinista! (1980) and Combat Rock (1982) - captured the tumult of the times with unerring instinct and raw power.
Rhythm guitarist Joe Strummer – born John Mellor in Ankara, Turkey, on August 21, 1952 – wrote most of the words and lead guitarist Mick Jones contributed much of the music. Bassist Paul Simonon's background in painting and sculpture helped shape the band's aesthetic overview. Topper Headon was a journeyman drummer who found his niche powering the Clash. "As a mix of personalities," noted writer Lenny Kaye, "the Clash was a perfect engine." They ran hottest on a concert stage, where all their political zeal and undaunted idealism found expression in music erupted with an exhilarating forcefulness. Lester Bangs described the Clash in concert as "a desperation uncontrived, unstaged, a fury unleashed on the stage and writhing ...
The Jam rode to early popularity on the first wave of British punk. Yet the group, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Paul Weller, consciously distanced itself from its safety-pinned compatriots and unashamedly looked back to the Sixties for inspiration from the Who, 2012 Hall of Fame Inductees the Small Faces and vintage American soul music. At a time when notions of youth rebellion were much in vogue, "In The City" stands out as a desperate plea for understanding between the generations: In the city, there's a thousand things I want to say to you/But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool/I wanna say, I wanna tell you/About the young ideas/But you turn them into fears. The song was the title track of the group's 1977 debut, a landmark punk recording that showcased the group's bravado and musicianship. Weller's gift for hooks, insightful lyrics, slashing Rickenbacker guitar riffs and the equally urgent playing of bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler propelled "In The City" to Number 40 in May 1977 and ignited the group's hot streak of 18 consecutive UK Top 40 hits.
The Smiths placed 10 singles in the U.K. Top 20 between 1983 and 1987, yet "How Soon Is Now?" was not among them. Only in the years following the group's breakup did this towering Morrissey-Johnny Marr composition become one of the group's best-loved and most familiar songs. Guitarist Marr kicks it off with shimmering Bo Diddley tremolo chords and builds layer upon layer of echoing six-string sound effects as Morrissey croons his defiance: You shut your mouth/How can you say/I go about things the wrong way/I am human and I need to be loved/Just like everybody else does. Sire Records president Seymour Stein called the nearly seven-minute-long song "the 'Stairway to Heaven' of the Eighties."

Hi guys, I hope you are all having an amazing week so far, I'm still in St-Martin enjoying my vacations!
Today I wanted to ask you if you like hairy pecs? I was browsing some of your profiles and seems like many guys like hairy pecs. Why is that? Is it the epitome of masculinity to have hairy pecs? Do you pet your fuck buddy's hairy chest when you meet him?
Let me know the reasons, I want to know.
I adore a muscle hairy chest. When I fuck with guys that are both muscular and hairy, I can totally touch their hairy pecs for 10 minutes without doing anything else. Makes me crazy horny. I'm kinda smooth so for me hairy pecs are so hot and something I will never have, that I would love to have. Looks so manly and rugged…love it
Let me know your thoughts!
Hairy is a complement, not the end all.
Robin Williams is hairy–doesn't mean I want to get with him.
So, hairy + in shape = hot.
Hairy + obese = not hot.
I love hairy pecs. hairy pecs, legs, arms, and ass. About the only thing that needs to have less hair is his balls and head (the one on his should). I still have every bit of my pec hair and planning on keeping it. If wanted to play with a man that is completely smooth, I might as well play with a women.
Hairy chests are HOTT!!!
There are pecs other than hairy? I haven't noticed if there were…
Hairy chests are so fuckin hot… hairy muscle chests…I could cum just on the thought of that… I'm gay which means I'm into men… when I have sex with a man I want a MAN and, yes hairy chests are manly…makes me think the guy knows what he's doing cuz he must be mature enough to have that pelt :). I'm 21 and have a little bit of chest hair but I have always admired my dad who could braid his chest hairs… I'm sure I'll get there some day 😉
Yeah…nothing better than a hairy chest…weak in the knees when I get to be with a guy who has one. I too am smooth and wish I had some fur…but that's the card genetics dealt me.
I love a guy with hair pecs! I love rubbing my figures threw it. It's such a turn on. Also like rubbing and grabbing the pec hair while I'm on my back 😉
I Have Hairy Pec's. It's my Force Field for when you Try and Shoot your Load on me.
I love hairy pecs for the exact same reasons as you, Dave !
I LOVE hairy chests. Always have, since I was a little kid. Growing up, two doors down from us lived a cop's son, he was 19 and had this massively furry chest and very well developed pecs. He would always cut the grass or wash his car without a shirt on. I'd sit upstairs in my bedroom and watch him out the windows for hours.
Oh yes! I love a hairy man far more than a smooth one. They are so fuckin' sexy! Being hairy myself, I find that I will look up celebrity pics online to see if they have any chest hair at all.
Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, James Mason, Ewan McGregor, Vincent Spano, damned right. The guy who plays Harker on Dracula is my latest obsession. Hot, hot, hot!
Love a nice pair of pecs in general, but a hairy chest and great pecs, fuckin WOOF!
I absolutely love hairy men. I'll admit it was an acquired taste because I am smooth and didn't like the idea of hair on a man when I was younger. Perhaps it was the mainstream media making me believe a hairless man was sexier. However after sampling both worlds, now I am just completely turned on by a hairy beast man on top of me. I wouldn't want it any other way. My boyfriend is smooth as well but luckily understands my preference so I am able to bring in a hairy muscle bear in our bed every once in a while. It's one of my sweet indulgences. The feel of in against my skin or on my face, the taste as I kiss his chest and lick on his nipples, nothing could be better.
Love em. Absolutely love them. Shows the masculine side along with a hard thick cock that is ready and very willing to give me a good old fashioned fucking!
I like it because i find hair sexy as hell.. I don't care that much for a man that shaves or just isn't hairy.. But either you like it or you don't its just a personal choice.
Fuck yeah, Love a nice furry chest, furry pits and anything else..
I just think its so sexy and masculine when a guy has hairy pecs, stomach, etc. it's just sexy. Period. And I totally agree that I could just stroke through that chest hair for a while and be totally satisfied…and it gets me horny too!
I.think, sumliminally, we associate it.with.hypermasculinity. I.really don't know.but.put.a man with hairy pecs in my bed.and you've.got.instant.wood!
A HAIRY man is HOT as hell. I love to feel my guys chest rub up against mine or feel his chest snuggle up to me on a cold winters night. Woof. The feel of a furry man is a total turn on.
Yes hairy men are the epitome of sexiness all body hair, legs, arms and chest the thick men are best!!
Mine are hairy but I keep it trimmed down a little. How hairy? Pierce Brosnan with his shirt off in the Thomas Crowne Affair. My ex got me into applying conditioner to my chest in the shower to keep it soft. I always thought that was odd but it works to soften the ends if you've just finished buzzing it down. Interesting part is, I like smooth chests. We almost always want what we don't have.
I love hairy pecs too!!!!! Could rub on a hairy chest all night long!!!!!
For me I think a big part of it is that I have a hairy chest too. So when I see it on another guy it's just something I find to be similar and therefore attractive. However, I manage mine so I like hair up to a limit. like the guy in the pic is perfect
I am fuzzy or hairy as well total bottom here but guys love to have me in bed as I am hairy
I also LOVE hairy pecs!Some people prefer smooth-well I'm not one of them!Love a hairy chest and also could caress it for hour's!I also like to rim a hairy ass!I am somewhat hairy myself.But hairy guy's are masculine,and a must as far as I am concerned!Kevin,Hagerstown,Md.
Having hairy pecs is just manly. Shows that your natural and enjoy being hairy. Shaving ones chest is just saying to me that you want to look younger where as unshaven men are proud to be men naturally, if that makes sense.
U r in Saint-Martin. That's where I live. Who r u Dave?
Completely hot. Nothing compares. I mean, a smooth chest is ok, but a hairy one is the ultimate.
Love hairy chest and pecs here. Something about it just drives me crazy. Its hot also when you can suck on their nipples through that hairy chest.
Agree Dave. Love a thick covered chest. The more hair the better. I like to run my fingers and tongue thru a thick pelt. Makes a man so hot in my book. Love to cum on a furry chest and then lick it off. MMM getting hard now…..
I livve to be with a man who has hairy chest and pompis. When you poet that body yopu feel something special, specially after you finish having sex. You stay by your man side and rub his entire bodu and the feeling is amassing, I love man with big tities and suck them all the time.
I totally adore a hairy chest on a man, that just makes me melt! I have a furry chest too, nice hairy pecs, and love a man with nice hairy pecs, and those nice nips that just drives you crazy to suck on!! Oh man…don't care about much else if he has a nice hairy chest, of course hairy legs and ass makes me hard too, and love to get my tongue in there, and drive him wild!! Hairy guys just rock, its so masculine and manly, and i love the way they smell and feel. smooth guys just don't do it for me. Have a great time on your vacation!!!
Hairy or smooth a GOOD set of pecs is almost the best part of a good man.
I too am attracted to chest/body hair. It's not a requirement though; if a guy is naturally smooth (my own body hair is faint), I can work with that. What I HATE though are guys who shave their chests just to achieve that twink look. Ugh, work with what you've got!
I like guys with a hairy chest and abdomen. I love the line of hair that runs from a guys chest to his crotch.
The guy I sm seeing now is a hairy beast both chest and back, legs etc. I am basically smooth with just some fair on nips and abdomen so it is very different for me to be with him.
Chest hair is great just like smooth or smooth or light hair is just as sexy. I go for winning smiles, bright eyes and communication skills!
Certainly hot! I would rub and lick hairy pecs all night! I love the feel of it brushing my back or my chest while my guy is fucking me!
Love a man with a furry chest, and eraser nips. Nothing hotter than burying my face there and only coming up for air when I feel hands on both sides of my head!
Hair on a chest, especially on the pecs, is the ultimate in masculine sexuality! It is a constant reminder that you are flesh to flesh with another man, at one time just a forbidden fantasy. The sight of furry nips, belly, and treasure trail drives me crazy!!
OMG,,, I totally LOVE a hairy man. The more hair the better. Chest, back, abs, pits, stomach, pubes and ass. LOVE to lick every inch of that hair,,, no matter where it is. And if the man is hot and sweaty,,, OMG,, even better.
I love hairy pecs as well as chest, i like to stroke my bf's chest hair ^_^
Yes! I prefer hairy chest & abs. Bears, cubs, otters, & colts will always be sexy to me. It's a fantasy fetish that has always turned me on. I love rubbing my hands on a hairy body especially while cuddling. I love the way a hairy chest feels rubbing against mine.
love hairy men…..can suck and floss at the same time… lol
remember back when I was in college, got cruised by the bi married housing dean in the library restroom and he said to be discrete meet him in the traffic office restroom basement as he said he had a few hours to kill and there was no traffic down there… so I met him over there, he was sitting in a middle stall with the door open, his suit coat hung up but his nice pressed dress shirt unbuttoned showing off his short muscular hairy body and his dress pants down to his ankles stroking his thick hairy cock and balls and as I entered, I dropped my pants and he grabbed me by the ass to suck and lick my cock and then I unbuttoned my shirt as he sucked my hairy nips and I stroked his cock .. we took our time and it was best time ever sucking and stroking till we cum
I rrcently started dsting a hairy chested guy,all I can say is that. for me he is most definately the epitome of masculinty, strong legs, nice bubble butt, tatted arms, stache,goat tee, and Italian,couldn't
ask for more.
I agree with everyone else. A hairy chested men is a huge turn-on for me. I'm moderatly hairy, but was always envious of those handsome hairy guys. I find myself noticing arm hair etc, and try to decide if they may be hairy or not. Hairy chest…..yes! Yes! Nothing sexier!
Have been dating a guy with hairy pecs, ass , pits, legs
arms, WOW! the feeling of him during lovemaking is Frikken
Hot, now that is the epitome of masculine, Oh did I mention
Italian, with a nice cock to go with it, MMM!
I find hairy chest, legs, and arms very sexy. But addressing some of the lame comments above, having no hair doesn't make them any less of a man and certainly not a woman.
Hair is okay but it all depends my genetics gave a full pelt of hair at 13 and it just kept growing. I prefer hairless with a baby smooth crotch but u don't discriminate. My thing is that my chats hair grows so fast I can a shave it for guy the want be smooth and in 2 weeks I'm back to Sasquatch. Lol hair has land me a few fucks but it has also scared away a few.
From a hygiene stand point I have to take 2-3 showers a day
Damn my requirements are just to be a man period . Everything else is actually up to chemistry
It's funny…I'm a very hairy man, but prefer smooth guys…go figure!
Always thought that a hairy chest was the sexiest part on a man since I can remember. Forget all the rest. A hairy chest makes me so excited and when in a sauna, I always go for the furry chested men!!!
Hair pecs bearing down on me, my legs a over my head. Can't get any better. Close to it is a hairy chiseled chest looking up at me while I do the honors!
As a rule (not a hardened rule, but a rule nonetheless…>) humans want what they don't have. I want nice straight hair on my head, but my hair is wavy. As on my chest, I have a somewhat hairy chest, but I like smooth chests. Some hair or the nice smooth hair that lays against a chest is nice too…mine is just furry! The advantage a man with a hairy chest has, is he can shave and become smooth….a smooth-chested man cannot get hairy!
If a man is naturally smooth then ok. He most likely will have his pubes and a little hair on his ass. Still he is natural with all his male attributes. A hairy guy is a big turn on for me. Not the ape look alike but a hairy chest with treasure trail down to his crotch is hot. A real bear is great too, not the obese fat a's who call themselves bears. You know the type, thick built muscular and masculine.
If a guy presents himself as "Smooth shaved" "Smooth shaved, you be too." then I'd just as soon fuck the ol lady instead.
I love them cause they are the opposite of me. It has always been a turn on, but not opposed to a smooth man either.
Smooth or hairy? For some of us, BOTH can be sexy….for me it comes down to, if a guy has smooth pecs, then I want his whole body smooth. If he's got hairy pecs, I want the rest of him hairy, too! A man with furless pecs and a hairy stomach and legs is like getting it on with a post-menopausal woman! I was married. I'm now gay…..give me a man ANYday! Or EVERYday!
While it's not a requirement, hairy pecs (within reason) are certainly hot. Unfortunately genetics screwed me over in the hair department since i have more hair down there than ny chest but oh well i guess
I think hair on a man is so masculine and erotic. I love the private parts to be hairy as I like a really nice full pubic bush and I love to rim and worship a nice hairy ass. Shaved balls are OK though 🙂
im not really on guy who have huge amount of body hair a liite fine
Hairy pecs, just like any single attribute, don't make or break the man. He's "hot" because of who he is a man, not because of how he's packaged.
Nope,I don't like hairy pecs. I'm smooth and prefer men that are smooth. Frankly, pecs are not exactly the focus of my interest!!!
Hairy muscular pex here and enjoy same in other guys.
We must be in a "minority on here" as the majority of profiles I read tend to look for:
"Young, smooth, thin to skinny, Asian or Latino (more like "Latina"),
which to ME? Sounds like a "woman with a dick" which is EXACTLY what some of the guys on here ARE looking for, which excludes the "59 or so that answered here".
I do like some chest/arm pit hair but not overly hairy. Always like to see some arm pit hair.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE hairy pecs. Oh and di I mention I LOVE LOVE LOVE hairy pecs?
coincidence maybe, but my body has just as much hair as that guy and every girl or boy I have been with loves it.
For me, ya gotta be smooth all over – better if natural. I don't eve like long hair on the head – ponytails just look plain dumb in my eyes.
Only two "not" posts yet the average A4A profile touts shaved//smooth.
Interesting ….
I have a hairy chest and absolutely LOVE a hairy chested man. Hands down hairy gets priority. Not that there is nothing wrong with smooth guys, just a personal preference.
Men with hairy chests have sensitive nipples. I love it when I can fuck a guy and chew his nipples and blow his socks off…
I have a hairy chest and it holds true for me, too.
My Dad has a perfect pelt of fur from the top of his pecs to his navel. All I got is peach fuzz!
I am fuzzy you guys can check my profile out on a4a I would love to have a lover these days I am so ready to settle but no one seems to want to here in the Caribbean it's hard
Well sweetbamc a fuzzy bottom guy here lol love the pics you post here pure turn on I am so oral when it comes to smooth guys though
I do love me some hair on the chest or torso area. Even better when they keep it nice and trimmed or not overgrown like a forest.
I think it gives a bit of sexiness to a guy. So yeah it's a turn on for me.

Whenever I need to create a new website on one of these servers, I currently have to create that user on each server. It's rather tedious work.
Now, I could configure LDAP - but it's a bit overkill for this. I would also have to then investigate backup solutions for that as well. I could also use something like Salt, Ansible, Chef or the like...but that requires me to learn yet another very specific "language" just to create a new user now and then.
Isn't there a tool which lets me connect to multiple servers and manage the users and make sure that the users are correctly configured on all servers?

The Film:
It would be quite a task to count up the number of filmed versions of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet." We've seen just about every variation on the story possible from the traditional Franco Zeffirelli adaptation to a musical rendition to a contemporary telling that shifts the setting to Verona Beach. For this latest version of the tale, director Carlo Carlei and Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes favor a more traditional setting, taking the story back to its roots, quite literally, by filming directly in Verona and Mantua. This is the way the play has been done many, many times before. Not necessarily that they've filmed in the actual locations, but rather setting the film where the story is actually set. It's what the play calls for, but given that we've seen the classical telling over and over, the filmmakers would need to make absolutely sure that their adaptation and casting are flawless so that it doesn't become just another version among many that become forgotten.
The casting here includes many inspired choices, including Kodi Smit-McPhee as Benvolio, Christian Cooke as Mercutio, Lesley Manville as The Nurse, and Paul Giamatti as Friar Laurence. However, the great bulk of the play rests squarely on the shoulders of those chosen to play the leads, and unfortunately that's where this latest adaptation's problems begin to arise. This is Douglas Booth's first big role in a big film, and it sadly reveals that he wasn't quite ready for it as he delivers a mostly bland interpretation of Romeo, lacking the passion necessary for the young lover. At first, Hailee Steinfeld seemed like a great choice for the part of Juliet given that she had blown everyone away with her great, Oscar-nominated performance in the Coen Bros. remake of "True Grit," but just like Booth, she doesn't make much of a mark on her role either. In fact, there are many scenes where she seems to be rushing through her dialogue as though it were some kind of race. When the audience is unable to feel the passion between the star-crossed lovers, then such an adaptation is going to be struggling from very early on.
For the most part, those adapting the play basically take Shakespeare's original script and edit it to their liking, but leaving the lines intact. Fellowes has opted for a slightly different route in which he changes and deletes large portions of the original text while adding in his own simplified version of it. I don't know about you, but when I watch a Shakespeare adaptation, one of the main reasons I enjoy it so much is because we get to hear his beautiful poetry, so imagine how jarring it is to have a version where it's part Shakespeare, part someone trying to imitate or simplify Shakespeare's words. As you can imagine, it's enough to take you right out of the story on multiple occasions. As to why Fellowes felt the need to tamper with the Bard's words and dumb down one of Shakespeare's simplest plays is a mystery.
To my recollection, this is the first time I've had to give a negative review to an adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet," but it just goes to show that if you don't have the proper elements in place for such an adaptation (great leads, a properly-adapted script), then it's going to be difficult to get the audience involved in the story, especially when it's one that they've seen countless times before. Without these key ingredients, this version was just as doomed as the romance between these young lovers.
"Romeo & Juliet" comes to Blu-ray in a 2.40:1, 1080p transfer of decent quality. There is a slight fuzziness to the picture throughout the film's presentation, but it's not enough to hinder viewing. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio is a little on the soft side, but as usual it's nothing that can't be fixed by turning it up a little. Otherwise, the audio is crystal clear, allowing you to hear every little sound perfectly. While there was room for slight improvement in both areas, the film has been given decent enough treatment to allow for an enjoyable experience.
Special Features:
Four Behind the Scenes Featurettes: Cast and Crew, Creating the Look, The Filmmaker's Vision, and Hair and Makeup: These are four brief featurettes, running between 2-4 minutes each, that take a very superficial look behind the scenes at the making of the film. They do contain short snippets of interviews with the cast and crew, but unfortunately they aren't given enough time to say anything in-depth about the film, so in the end we don't learn much of anything.
With an adaptation lacking the necessary passion and script to bring "Romeo & Juliet" to life and a set of featurettes that don't go into any depth, it's easy to come to the conclusion that this release is not recommendable. Carlei and Fellowes would have been far better off going with a more straightforward rendition of the Bard's tale instead of trying to experiment with the dialogue. However, even if they had done that, it's clear that the leads were not up to the task of portraying these characters in a way that would strike an emotional chord with the audience. What we end up with isn't a completely terrible version, but even among the multitude of middling traditional adaptations, it's doubtful it will be remembered.

Reviews for Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
"This was really, really good. Didn't change a thing. Was fantastic!"
"No hamburger rolls? No problem! This recipe came in handy when teenagers were asking for cheeseburgers and we were out of buns. Heated up the oven as we assembled. Like others we did not use all the cheese specified. The dill pickles gave it an unsual twist but all agreed the best part was the addition of the bacon! Great hearty pizza."
"My whole family really enjoyed this pizza and it is something we will probably make again. I just chopped my pickle slices and sprinkled them on top of half the pizza after it was done baking since I have a couple of picky eaters. The only change I would probably make next time is halving the amount of cheese. I love cheese and always use extra, but 4 cups seemed like an extreme amount for 1 pizza."
"My husband and I love this pizza!"
"I agree, I used ground turkey and turkey bacon. Also used 1/2 the cheese. The pickle idea surprised me but it was really good. Only put onion on 1 half due to my picky eater! Will made again"

Legendary metal band Judas Priest have released their new song "Redeemer of Souls" along with details of a new album of the same name. The upcoming LP "Redeemer of Souls" is expected to drop July 15. This will be the band's first album in six years. It will also be their 17th studio album. The upcoming record will be their first with guitarist Richie Faulkner, who replaced founding member KK Downing in 2011. The band doesn't stray too far away from their heavy hitting sound on the new track, which is sure to please their old school fans. If anything, it reminds you why they're one of the best metal bands from the '80s.

I have to admit, I'm a little addicted to making garden flags out of fabric placemats from the Dollar Store (The Dollar Tree to be exact.)
If you missed my previous flags, this was our winter flag:
And our Valentine's Day flag (that I'm embarrassed to say hung until this week.):
But, I finally caught up to the correct season. As I like to say, better late than never, a cheery neon garden flag!
- Fabric Placemat
- Terry cloth bar cloths
- Scissors
- Heat n' Bond no-iron hem tape
- Pins
- Iron
- Ribbon
- Thread
- Sewing machine
- Silk flowers
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue sticks
Fold over the top of the placemat 2.5 inches and stitch across the bottom edge to create the rod pocket.
Cut out flip flop shapes out of the bar towels. (Be prepared for a shedding frenzy! Little pills will be everywhere.)
Cut strips of Heat n' Bond tape to fit on the back of the flip flop cut outs.
Iron the tape onto the flip flops (2 seconds). Then remove the paper backing.
Flip the flip flops over and iron them onto the flag. Then flip over the flag and iron underneath the shapes for better adhesion. And if I use the word "Flip" again in this instruction you are going to flip! 😉
Thread your sewing machine with a contrasting thread. Set the stitch on your machine (I used a blanket stitch, but you could use a straight stitch if you want.) Sew around the perimeter of the flip flops.
Cut ribbon into lengths long enough to be used as the straps on the flip flops.
Pin the ribbons in place on the flip flops. Stitch at the point and at the edges of the flip flops.
Leave the rest of the ribbon unstitched so it sticks up and looks like you could slip your feet into the straps.
Select a bunch of silk flowers and pull them off the stems. Cut the back off the flowers so they will rest flat.
Lay out the flowers onto the flag and pin them in place. If the flower centers fall off, hold them off to the side.
Thread your sewing machine with thread to coordinate with your flower. Stitch around the center of the flower to secure it onto your flag. Repeat for the remaining flowers. (You may choose to change your thread for each colored flower.)
Heat up the hot glue gun. Put a large dollop of hot glue into the center of the flower and press the floral centers into place.
Hang your flag in the garden and enjoy!
