The Moorea Coral Reef LTER site encompasses the coral reef complex that surrounds the island of Moorea, French Polynesia (17°30'S, 149°50'W). Moorea is a small, triangular volcanic island 20 km west of Tahiti in the Society Islands of French Polynesia.
The coastal environments of Moorea offer an unparalleled opportunity for studies of coral reef ecosystems. An offshore barrier reef forms a system of shallow (mean depth ~ 5-7 m), narrow (~0.8-1.5 km wide) lagoons around the 60 km perimeter of Moorea. All major coral reef types (e.g., fringing reef, lagoon patch reefs, back reef, barrier reef and fore reef) are present and accessible by small boat.
Prior to 2008, the reefs were in excellent condition and had been subjected to relatively few natural disturbances during the last several decades. An outbreak of the crown of thorns seastar (Acanthaster planci) that began in 2007 and a near miss by tropical cyclone Olie in early 2010 significantly reduced the cover of live coral on the fore reef and to differing degrees around the island. This "natural experiment" provides MCR scientists with an unparalleled opportunity to study the processes that influence the recovery of coral reefs from the effects of large disturbances.

SSC Napoli is disappointed with a tie in a game against AS Livorno for round 26 of Serie A on Sunday morning. Napoli who is in third place in the Italian league is having trouble catching up to the leader Juventus FC who is more than 10 points ahead.
As reported on ESPN Deportes on Sunday, Napoli, at home, tied with 18th placed Livorno 1-1. According to all the stats on ESPN Deportes, Napoli dominated the game but could not take the victory.
Additionally, Napoli had to play without their leading scorer Argentine Gonzalo Higuain due to accumulation of yellow cards.
The goal for SSC Napoli was scored by Belgian midfielder Dries Mertens in the 32nd minute via penalty. Livorno's goal was an own goal by Napoli's Spaniard goalkeeper Pepe Reina in the 39th minute.
Apparently, the goal for Livorno was counted as an own goal by Reina; however, the shot was taken by Senegalese Ibrahima Mbaye from the center of the box after a center pass.
The tie was a bit devastating for SSC Napoli as they were heavily favored over an AS Livorno who has been struggling all season and in danger of being relegated to Serie B.

Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest strengths?
Brad Serini: Ahhh, I hate this question. I would say that everyone always says I have a very high football IQ and great toughness on the field. I don't back down and you will always get the best in me every game.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Brad Serini: My goals are first obviously to make a team. After that my ultimate goal is to play in the NFL: for a very long time. I want to be one of those players that plays for 14 seasons.
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest football accomplishments?
Brad Serini: I would say winning the conference versus Arkansas State was a great accomplishment. I would also say winning our bowl game (Little Caesars bowl) in a crazy game. The game was so much fun and so well played. It really meant a lot because my first season at FIU we finished 1-11, and then to end it with a bowl victory was pretty remarkable. Those are the two that stick out to me the most. I also got invited and play in the Eastham Energy All-Star College Senior game this year. That was an honor.
Scott Porter: Which NFL player reminds you of yourself or one that you model your game after?
Brad Serini: I can think of two. The first and biggest one that comes to mind is Jeff Saturday of the Indianapolis Colts. He can out of college and went undrafted and now at least in my eyes he is the best center in the NFL. A lot of people never gave him a chance and he proved a lot of people wrong, and now he has had a long successful NFL career including a Super Bowl and a few Pro Bowls. The next is Olin Kreutz of the Chicago Bears. He is so tough and hard-nosed. He works so hard and plays hurt. That is the way I play. I never come out if I am hurt. I never want to come out. You are going to have to pull me out of the game to get me off the field.
Scott Porter: What do you feel will be the toughest adjustment from the college level to the NFL level?
Brad Serini: Oh man, I think the toughest adjustment will be the level of competition. It's quite the adjustment when you go from high school to college but I can only imagine the adjustment from college to pro will be even bigger. There are fewer opportunities available in the NFL so you have to make the adjustment quickly and make an impact right away. You are now going against the best of the competition. It will be challenging and fun to go against veterans who have been in the NFL for ten years or so. A lot of these guys I watched when I was growing up as a kid and now I have the chance to compete against them.
Scott Porter: What hobbies do you have off the field?
Brad Serini: I love hanging out with my friends. I am always doing football stuff so I don't get much time away from the game so I always try to take advantage when I do. I like going to the beach and mall in big groups with my friends. I love playing FIFA, I played it a lot in college. I played it every night.
Scott Porter: Who has been your biggest influence throughout your college career?
Brad Serini: My father. He always pushes me beyond what I thought I was capable of achieving. He's very hard on me but I like that. It's good for me. He has helped me get the most of my talent and continue to work hard to become a better player. He has helped me out a lot throughout. My parents never missed a game. That includes high school and college. They were at every single game to me and that really means a lot to me. They were and are very supportive of me.
Scott Porter: Who is the toughest player you have ever faced?
Brad Serini: There was a guy from Florida A&M named Frantz Jospeh. He played LB, he was on the Oakland Raiders for a short time, he was tough as nails. He loved to hit and was so physical. I can remember one I went out to block him and he came up at me full speed and popped me a good one. When we played Iowa they had two very good DT's that were very tough. Both went on to play in the NFL. They were Matt Kroul and Mitch King. They were strong as no other.
Scott Porter: Playing for a coach like Mario Cristobal, what was that like? He was a successful player at the University of Iowa. What type of a coach was he?
Brad Serini: He meant so much to me and my development as a player. I was able to learn and take a lot of things from coach Cristobal. He actually found me. He made a trip to New York and offered me a scholarship and believed in me. He always looked out for me. He's a very tough coach but in a good way. If it wasn't for him I am not sure where I would be. I wouldn't be in the same situation I am in today.

Miley Cyrus may want to dig up her old "Hannah Montana" wig. The former Disney star went back to the '90s – the decade she was born—when she debuted her newest look: a bona fide bowl cut. On January 15, Us Weekly posted a pic of the 21-year-old singer's new 'do, which showcased her dark roots.
People magazine's Stylewatch went a step further, posting an open letter to the singer and comparing her to Jim Carrey's "Dumb and Dumber" character, Lloyd Christmas. The mag also issued a plea to the "Wrecking Ball" singer: "We know you're not trying to save money by having Tish put a bowl on your head and snip around it, so get thee to a hairdresser and pick a look that isn't obscuring that pretty face with its bangs and general absurdity."
New York magazine whipped up a slide show that compared Cyrus's questionable new look to everything from Moe from the Three Stooges to a thatched roof, while HuffPost Celebrity tweeted: "Miley takes a fashion tip from all 4th grade boys in the '90s with her new bowl–cut style http://huff.to/1d4UTF4."
What do you think of Miley's new 'do? Yay or nay?

Poor. Pitiful. Me.
I often write blog posts in my head. It's a shame I can't telepathically send them to "Draft" mode. Earlier this week I had a good one cookin' as I drove to school. I was cranky and irritated and had worked myself up. You see, my parents divorced when I was 18. And though the first few years were a little rough, it was a pretty easy transition to being a 'divorced kid' (although technically I was an adult).
Until the holidays roll around. And then being a 'divorced kid' sucks hard, no matter how old I am. Surprise, surprise. Thirty isn't any different.

Euro-Zone Debt Problems Getting Worse
Europe's latest sovereign-debt scare is causing a serious wave of morning sickness across the region's smaller bond markets again, especially heavily-indebted Portugal and Ireland.
Let's examine the mess.
- Stocks. European stocks have held up pretty well of late, possibly because traders are still taking comfort from the U.S. Federal Reserve's controversial move to dump another $600 billion into the economy through bond purchases. The pan-European Stoxx 600 Index is down only 0.2%, though Ireland's market has slipped 1% and Portugal – the third-biggest basket-case in Europe after Greece and Ireland – has slumped 1.6%. A key index of Irish financial stocks, however, is down a whopping 7%. On Wednesday, LCH.Clearnet, a European securities-clearing firm, rattled markets by saying it is raising the amount of cash that investors must set aside with it to trade Irish debt. (A clearer stands between buyers and sellers of bonds to make sure trades go through even if parties default.) Some Irish banks, which are big holders of Irish bonds, may have had to scramble to find some extra cash, though LCH warned the market that it was planning to take this move last month.
- Euro. Europe's common currency is weakening again, dropping to $1.3737 after recovering late Wednesday to around $1.38 after traders briefly turned away from Europe's problems to focus on the U.S. again. The euro is a big market indicator for U.S. investors: If it starts tanking, investors in the U.S. stock market will take fright. That would make Europe's problems global.
- Irish bonds. This is where the carnage is, and it's getting worse. On Thursday, the yield on Ireland's 10-year government bond, which moves inversely to its price, has hit 9.24%, a record 6.83 percentage point premium over the borrowing rate of Europe's safest borrower Germany. This is an unsustainable rate for a small, highly indebted country like Ireland. And here's an even worse sign: The yield premium for Irish two-year bonds is also 6.83 percentage points. The market is basically saying, "There is no difference between lending to you for two or 10 years." Which means: "We seriously think you might default or need a bailout; you are too big a risk for us, unless you pay us a very steep yield." For what it's worth, Ireland has enough cash to make it to the middle of next year and has no big bonds coming due soon; Irish officials are still saying they will return to the bond market next year once things calm down.
- Portuguese bonds. Portugal is not doing much better: Its 10-year borrowing rate has hit 7.33%, a 4.92 percentage point yield premium over Germany. Greek and Spanish spreads are also doing worse. Earlier Thursday, the cost to insure Portugal's government bonds against the risk of default hit $500,000 annually for the first time – a troubling development. There are rumors that the European Central Bank is buying euro-zone government bonds to support the market, so Portugal's credit-insurance cost has since fallen to $490,000. Ireland's cost, by the way, is $610,000.
Thursday could be especially messy for Europe's weaker bond markets. First, there are the myriad, now-known domestic problems of Portugal and Ireland – weak economic growth, huge deficits, growth-sucking austerity measures, political turmoil. Second, French finance minister Christine Lagarde is saying bond investors should help pay for emergency rescues like Greece's in the future, which is rattling current bond investors.
But let's not forget another factor: The market's inability to focus on multiple issues at once. For days now, the market has nervously oscillated between worrying about the Fed's decision to pump more money into the economy and Europe's sovereign debt crisis. The danger is that the world's focus will now turn entirely to Europe's debt crisis, fueling a panic over three countries – Portugal, Ireland and Greece – that make up only around 5% of the 16-nation euro-zone economy.
Thursday could be a test. Bond market investors in the U.S. have a holiday because of Veterans' Day, which means their colleagues in Europe could end up working that much harder.
"With the Veterans' Day holiday in the U.S., European markets will be looking inward more than usual, and more volatility can be expected throughout the day," says Gavan Nolan, an analyst at data provider Markit.
Expect more big moves.

Cher and Cyndi Lauper continue to turn back time as the two girls have fun touring the U.S. on Cher's "Dressed to Kill" tour. Tomorrow night the two ageless pop divas will take the stage at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines starting at 7:30 p.m. for what promises to be an outstanding show full of outrageous costumes
Cher, born Cherilyn Sarkisian, has been making music either with her late ex-husband Sonny Bono or on her own since the early Sixties. Sonny and Cher first hit it big way back in 1965 with their second album, Look at Us. The release hit #2 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 13 million copies. Superstardom followed for both, based largely on the success of the album's single "I Got You Babe", which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sonny and Cher's fame expanded to television in the Seventies and even outlasted their marriage.
After an ugly divorce and a fling with music mogul David Geffen, Cher married Gregg Allman. Though she filed for divorce from Allman after just nine days, the two stayed married for close to four years. The album they recorded together, Two the Hard Way, was a huge failure, and Cher soon realized that she was best on her own.
By the Eighties, Cher had remade herself as a multi-platinum solo artist, a successful actress, and a role model for other females in the entertainment industry. Though she is nicknamed the "Goddess of Pop", Cher's list of awards extends well past pop music. She has sold over 140 million albums, won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and she is the only recording artist to have a #1 single in each of the past six decades. Cher has racked up 33 Top 10 hits over the years, including 15 #1 singles. She released her latest album, Closer to the Truth, last September and watched it soar to #3 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of a #1 single and two #2 singles on the Dance/Club chart. Not bad for someone who turned 68 in May, huh?
The diva's opener is no slouch either. Cyndi Lauper has won Grammy, Emmy, MTV VMA, Billboard, AMA, and Tony Awards and is a New York Times Best Selling author. Lauper's 1983 debut album She's So Unusual sold over 22 million copies worldwide. She has fifteen Top 10 singles and five #1's to her credit (six if you count her participation in "We Are the World").

Home › Forums › General › What is the name of your outreach service?
This topic contains 10 replies, has 8 voices, and was last updated by librarianette 2 years, 12 months ago.
What is the name of your outreach and/or bookmobile service? We are looking to change what we call our service. I would be interested to hear what you use.
I call the service Natick's Bookmobile. For outreach service, I call it homebound services or homebound delivery.
Office of Outreach–in other words, OOO.
The name of our department is Community Engagement…..
I'm sorry–I think that I meant to start a new thread.
We are still working on our name, as we are coming closer to rolling out our bookmobile/booktruck. Thinking of "Big Rig Bookmobile" or "The Big Rig Reading Roadshow" or "The Reading Roadshow" or "Reading Rocks" or ? We have a custom semi truck pulling a large bookmobile trailer, thus the big rig theme. Thoughts?
John, I think your BIG RIG theme is cute, catchy, and easy to remember. Send pics when you finally get it wrapped or painted.
As for Shreveport/Caddo Parish–our name is simply Shreve Memorial Library Bookmobile/Outreach Services.
We have decided to go with "Big Rig Books". I have included a few pictures of our bookmobile. Our first book distribution will be in southwest Florida on January 17th. Kathy Mayo has been an invaluable resource in getting our initiative off the ground.
Here is our logo:
And a picture of our rig:
I know it's probably too late for you guys, but we're naming our service right now and here are some of the ideas we've come up with or across:
Library To-Go (or Library To-Geaux since we're in Louisiana)
Branching Out
Books & More to Your Door (for homebound service, got this from a library in Texas)

A Daily Word from the Word for Thursday, August 7, 2014
"You [God] are near in their mouth but far from their mind." – Jeremiah 12:2b
These were the words of the prophet Jeremiah, whom God sent to rebuke the people of Israel. I must say that I felt a slight sting of conviction when reading this, as I thought "How many times have I given God lip service?" I thank the Holy Father for His gift of conviction and correction, which serves to perfect us by drawing us more closely and intimately to Him.
The Hebrew word for "near" as used in this verse is quarob (pr. kaw-robe), which means "near (in place, kindred, or time), allied, more ready" (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance). Webster's Dictionary defines a "place" as "a distinct condition, position, or state of mind." Our mouth gives away our position and condition in the Lord based on the place our words come from—either from a Holy place, or a hollow habitation.
To be "kindred" is to be "of a similar character, ancestry," and when we are allied, we are joined in relationship (Webster). Do you share the character of Christ, my bother? Who is your allegiance to, my sister? The Holiness or hollowness of your words will gage your response.
Our "mouth" is "a means of blowing (literal or figurative), speech, portion, side." When you are speaking of God, are you just blowing hot air, or are you really saying something? The position you take will determine where your portion comes from. Are you positioned in Christ, or somewhere else?
The word for "mind," as used here, is kilyah (pr. kilyaw) and means "a kidney (as an essential organ), figuratively the mind (as the interior self), reigns." According to WebMD, the purpose of the kidneys is to filter the blood and remove waste. "All of the blood passes through the kidneys several times a day" (webmd.com). Do you pass through God several times a day? The Blood of Jesus is our cleansing agent. When we stray too far from our Father, we get bogged down with spiritual garbage because we let a lot of the world's waste get trapped within us. The world will rein you in if you let it; and without being close to God, our breakthrough is far from us.
Do you need the limits to come off you, my brother? Do you need to feel clean and refreshed, my sister? Then let's make sure our mind matches our mouth, by drawing near to the Father; and in doing so, He will draw near to us (James 4:8).
Father, we repent for every time we gave You lip service. Help us, by Your Holy Spirit, to be filled with Your Words—Holy words and not hollow language. And when we open our mouths, help us to open them wide and to speak what You want us to speak (Psalm 81:10). Help us to draw near to You always, and always draw near to us. In Jesus Name, we thank You that we always speak from a place in You. Amen and Amen.
Take action! Challenge your thinking! Choose to forsake superficial speech and bloated banter. Choose to say what you mean and mean what you say—always in a Godly way and from His heart. And continue to fight the good fight of matching your mouth with your mind; for God, your Perfect Word Choice, has already given you the victory!
If you have never received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do it today, right now, by saying this prayer out loud: "Jesus, forgive me for my sins. I am sorry. I truly desire to be saved and reconciled back to God, my Father, through You. I receive Your sinless Blood as payment in full for my sins—past, present, and future. I now call You my Lord and Savior, and invite You to live within my heart, and to permanently live within me. I make You Lord over me and over my life from this moment on. Amen." Congratulations! You are now a child of God, made whole and made new, by the Blood of Jesus Christ!
God tells us that we are blessed to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2). Be a blessing to someone by sending them this word of encouragement. If God did not already put someone in your spirit and on your heart that needs to read this uplifting message from above, simply ask your Heavenly Father who to bless on today. Forward this message right now by email, facebook, or twitter.
Jesus is coming soon!
May God Bless you and keep you always.
With warmest regards,
And, in service of The Most High King,

Here's the pulse around the NFC South this Tuesday afternoon:
NFL.com looks at the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfields, both deep with battles for roster positioning going on. How could those affect fantasy football owners?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins was his own biggest critic after his first preseason performance at Jacksonville, per ESPN.com.
Coach Lovie Smith grades his players very simply, The Tampa Tribune writes. He didn't give out many 'A's' after the Bucs' 16-10 loss.
From the Associated Press, Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera names the team's top three receivers - two veterans and a rookie. Receiver is one spot where the Panthers were decimated in free agency.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Falcons running back Devonta Freeman returned to practice Tuesday after leaving Monday. Atlanta's depth at running back isn't exactly strong.
New Falcons record-setting return man Devin Hester told the Chicago Sun-Times he'd have preferred to retire a Chicago Bear "'because of the things that happened there, that I accomplished as an individual and we did as a team." Instead, Hester signed a 3-year, $9 million deal with Atlanta in March when the Falcons showed the most interest in Hester, whose 13 punt returns for touchdowns are the most all-time.

The fans of "Castle" are fuming at the show after watching the season finale on Monday night. After committing to an entire season and watching Kate Beckett and Richard Castle express their love, the final moments of the show didn't offer up a picture perfect moment. According to Yahoo TV on Monday, the moment that had the bride looking beautiful was cut short and there was no vows exchanged.
So how are the fans feeling about this "Castle" ending? Well, the forums of ABC are filling up with angry comments about the show's ending. As one viewer wrote, they were "feeling cheated" after waiting so long to see the characters come together. Another viewers said they weren't coming back in the fall after being teased all season about a wedding that never happened.
There was a sense of oddity for the season finale show. The bride had picked her gown, the groomsmen were decided upon and finally a place for the wedding was chosen. So why didn't the couple just stroll in front of their friends and family to exchange vows? Well, that would not have been a cliffhanger now would it? Technically the couple is married as there was a license waved around, but still a wedding would have been great to see.
The "Castle" fans who have watched the show from the beginning are going to feel strung along once again. Cliffhangers over the summer months seem to push off major events including the proposal between Castle and Beckett and when Beckett got shot (see, we watch the show too.) Every time there is a major event, it appears that the show pushes it off to grab more people for the premiere of the next season.
The "Castle" season finale could have been a beautiful wedding episode. One that offered up a chance to see the couple come together and finally kiss as husband and wife. Now the image of Kate running down a street is what the fans get to remember until the new season starts.

Apple is slowly taking over Microsoft as the dominant software company both by mindshare and by revenue. It has hung it's hat on being the leader in the post-PC (read: no-Microsoft) world. It's actually a quote straight from Steve Jobs.
Yet, after their announcement yesterday, Apple stock tanked. With the new OS announcement, new iOS with tons of new APIs, new cloud service splash.. not helping Apple – and with the record shipments revenues and profit – Apple has not moved an inch in 2011. Why?
Those Who Ignore History Are Doomed To Repeat It
Once upon a time, Apple was a leading software company that had a winning platform and actually started the PC revolution. It manufactured it's own PC, it's own OS and everything in between. But as the other software and hardware companies came to market and worked with each other, Apple was left in the dust. IBM, Microsoft, HP, Packard Bell, Acer and countless others worked together and kept on innovating leaving Apple in the dust which it wouldn't recover from well until Apple's iPod became a hit in early 2000's.
Seemingly similar stuff is happening today. Google's Android took off after the iPhone and has blasted right by Apple in terms of market share. Apple keeps on sliding because it lives in a closed world where they make the handset, the OS, the cloud service and virtually everything in between. Their cloud pitch:
"Competition will never be able to make it 'just work'" – Steve Jobs
"Competition will never be able to make it 'just work'" – Steve Jobs
Apple is making a bet that their control and restrictions will get more people attached to their cloud and that they will just win. But if that was the case, Android wouldn't stand a chance. Furthermore, Apple has no NFC, no 4G phones, no flexibility in their device selection whatsoever. That is not a winning recipe, there is only so far that great marketing can take you.
Right now Apple is making the same mistake it made in the 90's. Instead of opening up it's cloud and it's platform an licensing it's OS and it's massive library – it's closing things down. It's trying to make the "cloud" a feature of the iPhone/iPad/iOS which is something that will ultimately only appeal to the iFans and not to the overall marketplace.
Let's remember that Apple's resurection was thanks to Microsoft's investment and iTunes on Windows. If Apple made their iPod capable of taking music files only from their 7% desktop PC, they would be long gone by now. Yet, they are ignoring that now and instead of applying their massive mobile dominance and experience to gain market share they are clamping down yet again.
Except they aren't the sole player now. Look at this PC Magazine comparison of Amazon Cloud Player, Apple iCloud and Google Music. Apple is more expensive than anything else out there and it needs friends.
Apple owes it's success to the massive army of developers who built tons and tons of apps for the first really good smartphone and tablet. Now as Android takes Apple over in those categories with an open approach, and has a larger audience, guess where developers will start to look to? Developers made Microsoft and they made Apple in the mobile world. But with Apple falling back, will they learn from their history on how to embrace the open cloud or will they stick to what has failed them before?

I completely agree Vlad!. Great post!
-Android user
Definitely agree. Aside from the great points you mentioned, the problem with being in a closed world is that you become limited to your own capacity to come up with new things…that's great as long as everyone likes the one Vanilla flavor you're churning out.
Good idea, and good history comparison, however I think Apple does not have to worry about open-ness as you may think:
It's the technology people want, like one of your earlier posts (May 18th), no one wants to care how it works, or how they will use it in the future, they just want it to do its thing, and do it all the time. Most of the consumers I interact want Pretty and Reliability, very few are worried about compatibility.
Frankly myself included would rather have something expensive and reliable that may not be as compatible, instead of having an extremely compatible but not really reliable.
I hate apple and everything they stand for. Who names a company after a piece of fruit anyways?
Whats on Vlad's Mind?

BEVERLY HILLS (LALATE) – What happened to Brandi Glanville's dog Chica, who stole Brandi's dog, is her Chihuahua still missing, and did Brandi find her dog? Brandi Glanville's dog Chica (photos below) goes missing on RHOBH tonight. Soon, Brandi reveals that her dog was stolen, kidnapped during a break-in robbery / burglary at her house on Beverly Hills Housewives. That event happened in June 2013. And yes, sadly, Brandi Glanville's dog Chica was never found. Chica is missing to this day. And it remains unclear if Chica will ever be found alive or has died. So who stole Chica?
Brandi Glanville's dog Chica goes missing tonight on RHOBH. Brandi is out of town when her assistant Cameron texts her. "The cops just left …Brandi I need to know what you want to do" says the text message. Brandi is left perplexed. "The cops just left? At least my dogs are okay", Brandi says to herself. She calls Cameron and says "I'm just getting your text. What was going on?" Cameron tells Brandi "oh my God, your house was burglarized, broken into!" But strangely, nothing was taken. "What happened to the house?" asks Brandi. Cameron replies "well that is the thing, I think they [the burglars] got scared off. They broke into your bathroom room, Sugar was locked in your office. Both of the dogs were in the living room when I left."
Brandi is left perplexed. "Are the dogs okay, are the dogs okay?" And then comes the shocker "We can't find Chica." Brandi is horrified. "Are you f- kidding me?!" Chica Pictures Set 1 Chica Pictures Set 2

Brandi's home was burglarized in June 2013 in Encino. Glanville filed a police report and offered $10,000 for the return of Chica. In the days that followed, Brandi was the victim of several hoaxes in which people called her telling her that they had found Chica. "My house was broken into one of my dogs is missing people R calling pretending 2 have her," she told news at the time. "This is devastating-I will pay money give her back".

Even more shocking, fired cast member Taylor Armstrong told news at the time "It's probably another publicity stunt by Brandi Glanville, frankly." Brandi was horrified by Taylor's comments. "[Taylor said that] for attention. She wasn't asked back to the show and she will do anything to try and create a way back in as a full time person. I'm heart broken and freaked out and I don't care about her. That's how she thinks, she is a bad person."

Now six months later, Chica was never found. Distraught, Brandi bought another dog for her kids. The dog was named first "Chico" and then renamed "Chody." "We have a new family member until Chica comes back to us. His name is Chico… Chica is still missing & we R praying [sic] 4 her safe return. Though Sugar & Buddy may be having a puppy wedding soon. "
So what ever happened to Chica? Brandi told news "I don't wanna blame my assistant. I don't know if she lost them and is making up the story and only found one … But I have to believe what she tells me because I don't know. I did what I had to do.. If I can't trust her with my dogs, how can I trust her with my kids?" More about Chica's disappearance is addressed in upcoming episodes. For more click HERE.

think i saw Chica on a fishing boat in Ventura. Looked like the guys were taking it to use as Shark bait. Just awful..
I know you're joking (Nico) but it's not funny. It's devastating to lose a pet and never know what happened.
Someone stole Chica. My min pin was in care of in laws and some a hole prob took her thinkinG she wasn't cared for when she ran off confused. Since April 2013 No Word People Don know the full story and take what we love. Ruthless. Sorry Brandi ur the realest. People R The Worst. Xo miracles happen but u r blessed nonetheless. Keep ur strong n funny ways going. U brighten my week:)

These two women are FANTASTIC most sites would be more than pleased to have these ladies shoot for them. The comments made are of a personel nature both ANNIE and MALLORY have done some fantastic shoots recently. ANNIE not long ago here at F/M in a four girl live show I am sure all the ( beautiful ) members above will remember that if they can fight of the mob of eighteen year olds that they think are representive of F/M respect for the models costs nothing jh/uk.

About time we had another squirt off. Annie is always a treat to watch,huge fan. Question, is she really that goofy? If she is it makes her all the more sexy. Mallory needs to come back for another squirt off. Another question,is this going to be a two part shoot,because I almost didn't want it to end
Great! (5)
|Mar 18, 2012
12 feet???? This is clearly a case where the squirting was simulated (i.e. water in the vagina for effect). Much hotter if the scenes are authentic.
Poor (1)
|May 26, 2012
WOW! the scenes sure look authentic to me........and i'm a woman! both of the girls are beautiful and a real pleasure to watch. it was a real positive for me! i hope they keep cumming back for more.
Great! (5)
|Aug 13, 2012
It amazes me how many people still think that these gorgeous women put water in their vaginas to squirt. . .jeez. I'm a man and have been sexually involved with more than 100 women in my short time on this Earth (I'm in my 30's) and I can assure you that women aroused properly can (and do) squirt. Especially given the proper motivation (i.e. a partner who gently encourages it, and lets them know it's completely natural and acceptable). Ignorance must be bliss, because if you haven't been with a lady who can squirt, you don't know what you're missing. ;-)
Great! (5)
|Sep 8, 2012
Well put sexylabia. Toddrd1, you think a girl can shoot water in her vagina out to 12 feet?!?!!!? Really?! lol! Next time you have a female who's willing, do the experiment and see just howe far she can push the water out. I promise you, it ain't gonna be no 12 feet! lol
Great! (5)
|Nov 18, 2013
Wonderful shoot, though it could have used less emphasis on trying to catch the squirt, just let it fly! Annie is one of the best and needs to come back.

Maybe after pointing to that number hanging up in the rafters.
We should see a an increase in tickets sold next year because of Hoiberg. I also believe the first few games will be pretty full for anticipation. Just as always, though, the number of pre-conference games will result in lower attendance after the initial lust phase is over...probably around game 6. We will likely have a poor team, and actual attendance won't be much different than last year as the season runs through. Curiousity and fascination will run its course, and when conference games roll around, actual attendance will be based on winning performance.

It seems that Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey divorce is going to be one nasty affair. Its only been a few days since Canon confirmed that they have been living separately for months and told the media that there was trouble in paradise. Canon has now come out to say he believes his ex's mental state is erratic and he fears for the safety of their twins.
Adding to the drama is the fact that Cannon's father recently put a rant on his Facebook page clearly throwing immense amount of shade at Carey. In the post, Cannon's father is quoted here:
"Here a thing to talk about if the wife love sex and the man can't stand making love to her. What should that women do?"
"Heres a thing, if the husband say no lies, and the wife lies all the time, what should that man do?"
"Here a thing, if the wife put on 200 pounds and the husband like a nice slim wife what should that man do?"
"If a husband tells his wife not to have an abortion, and she it anyways, what should that man do?"
"Here a thing, if a husband wants to have ten children and his wife only wants two children then what should that man do?"
Carey fans were understandably outraged and took to Twitter to voice their argue.
Needless to say, this is going to be one rough divorce.

New for the 2012 beach season, the Chicago Park District will provide beach goers with real-time water quality results at 16 out of 24 designated swim beaches, beginning with the start of swim season on Friday, May 25 and running through Monday, Sept. 3.
Real-time water quality results will be obtained using predictive modeling, which uses weather data to predict bacteria levels in real-time. This method improves the accuracy of water quality information provided to the public and reflects the most current conditions instead of conditions at the time of the most recent test, often the previous day. Predictive modeling has been used successfully at several other Great lakes beaches and is supported by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
The Park District installed high-tech monitoring equipment at several beaches in 2011 that collected data on weather and water conditions such as wave height, water temperature, rainfall, and wind speed. Over the winter, the Park District worked with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to build statistical models that use weather data to predict bacteria levels in real-time.
"The Chicago Park District strives to integrate the latest technology in our efforts to manage and maintain the health of our beaches," said Michael P. Kelly, Chicago Park District General Superintendent and CEO. "With more than 20 million patrons visiting our beaches each summer, we work to provide the most accurate information in a timely fashion, while also searching for ways to keep our beaches healthy for all to enjoy."
Additionally, the Park District will no longer follow a three-tiered system for issuing swim advisories and bans based on water quality test results. Instead, like all other beaches in Illinois, the Park District will continue to follow USEPA guidance and issue swim advisories when E. coli results are above the federal water quality criteria. The Park District will no longer issue swim bans based on test results at a higher threshold. Several years of intensive data collection and analysis has shown that this policy was too restrictive and prone to inaccurate results. Swim bans will continue to be issued for any hazard at a beach, including sewer overflows, lightning, dangerous waves or weather related risks. The Park District will continue to test the beaches for bacteria every day to ensure that the models are working properly and will continue to refine the models. Swim advisories will continue to be posted based on testing results at the beaches without working models.
White board signs will be posted near lifeguard posts in efforts to provide more information to the public that will detail real-time test results based on predictive models, test results based on laboratory testing, water temperature and the reason for any swim action posted for that day.
The following flag notification system tells patrons the current status of beaches:
Green Flag – Swimming is permitted. Water is calm and quality is safe based on current monitoring for E. Coli bacteria.
Yellow Flag – Advisory is in effect. Caution is advised. Water and weather conditions are unpredictable. Restrictions may be implemented. Increased risk of illness may be present based on current monitoring for E. Coli bacteria.
Red Flag – Swim ban in effect due to severe weather and/or water conditions, which may be hazardous.
There are several known causes of high E. Coli bacteria counts in the lake water, which include high temperatures, heavy rainfall, waste from gulls or other wildlife, and swimmers themselves. The public can help reduce bacteria levels by not feeding birds, not littering, and putting small children in waterproof swim diapers.
The following additional beach mitigation initiatives are currently in place to reduce probable bacteria sources:
Patrons are asked to observe the following beach rules: Obey lifeguards and swim only when lifeguards are present. No glass, alcohol or smoking on the beach. Properly dispose of food, diapers and other refuse. Do not feed birds. Dogs are only allowed in designated dog areas. Please put swim diapers on small children. Grilling is only allowed in designated areas and coals should be disposed in the red hot metal containers. Please do not dump hot coals at the base of trees or near playgrounds. Swimming is permitted and lifeguards are on duty at all beaches from 11:00am to 7:00pm, unless otherwise posted.
A texting service is available that will communicate to beach goers the swim status of a beach by texting the name of your beach to (312) 715-SWIM. To get a list of swim status at all beaches, text the word 'beaches'. In addition, beach goers can also access information on swim status by calling the Chicago Park District Beach Hotline at 312-74-BEACH, checking www.chicagoparkdistrict.com or following us on Facebook and Twitter for the swim status at each beach.
The Chicago Park District has more than 100 public pools, 51 of which are outdoor pools that open for the season Friday, June 15 - Monday, Sept. 3. Outdoor pool hours are 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Admission is free to Park District pools, but fees vary for lap swim and instructional classes.
Admission to Chicago's beaches is free. For a list of locations or for more information, visit the Park District website at www.chicagoparkdistrict.com or call the Beaches and Pools Unit at 312-742-5121.

HTC Bravo appears in live photo, T-Mobile UK to launch it soon
HTC Bravo, the high-end Android smartphone that resembles the Google Nexus One in many ways, has appeared (for the first time) in a live photo.
Unlike the Nexus One, which features a traditional trackball, the Bravo comes with a rather weird optical trackpad.
Other than that, the unannounced device has Nexus-like features, including a 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Wi-Fi, GPS, HSDPA and a 5MP photo camera. There's also multi-touch, which isn't enabled for the Nexus One.
It's said that T-Mobile UK will be ready to launch the HTC Bravo in late March (at about the same time with the Xperia X10 and not long after the LG InTouch Max GW620). The smartphone should be offered for free to customers who choose 2-yr plans of at least €35 per month.

Electronics such as computers, tablets, e-readers, and even television sets are hard to find on sale. Because manufacturers set prices on so many of these items, most brick and mortar stores will typically advertise the same price on these items. To make matters worse, these manufacturers will usually only deal with large chain stores, making it impossible to bargain and get a better deal.
There are some methods to get a better deal, but not a lot of people know about them. This is because the best deals on electronics are found through online retailers. Unlike brick and mortar stores, these retailers have virtually no overhead costs. Because they're not paying for rent, building maintenance, or heating and lighting a retail space they are able to operate on a much smaller profit margin than a traditional store. For a consumer in the market for older electronics such as a flat screen television or a DVD player, this fact alone can mean substantial savings.
In addition to the lower cost of doing business, many web retailers are able to offer a much wider selection of electronics than a traditional store. Because many companies that operate online keep large warehouses or order directly from manufacturers as soon as they get a customer's order, it is possible to find brands and parts that no one else has. Furthermore, because it costs an online store virtually nothing to stock and/or order these parts, pieces, or products, there is rarely a high mark-up on the item. In a traditional store, there are often a lot of fees associated with placing a special order for a hard to find part or product. This is rarely the case with an online retailer.
Some people question the quality of the products they buy online. In fact, online retailers buy their electronics from the same manufacturers that traditional stores buy their products from. That means they come in the same packaging, are made from the same parts in the same factory, and have the same manufacturer's warranty that "store-bought" electronics have. Many web retailers also have better return policies than many traditional stores.
Of course, a lot of people question if they will really save money on the newest, most popular electronics. Because the prices of these items are set by the manufacturer, most people assume that they will pay the same amount of money anywhere they go to buy. While it may be true that the sticker price is the same, a consumer will often save more money when they shop online.
To start, online shoppers do not have to pay any transportation costs in order to shop for a product. Rather than wasting time and gas by driving to several different stores (usually located on different sides of town), an online shopper only has to turn on his or her computer. There are no gas costs, no wear and tear on a vehicle, no paying for tolls, and most importantly, no sitting in traffic. Furthermore, there is no hassle in waiting for a sales person, standing in line to check out, or finding out only after you've been through the entire process that an item is no longer in stock.
When a person buys through an online retailer, they are also able to read product reviews, search for other buyer's opinions of the product, and in some cases even look at schematics or future options that will become available for the product. Once a consumer chooses the product they want, they can have the item shipped directly to their door. Many websites offer free or discounted shipping, making it much cheaper to shop online than to buy in a store.

August 12, 2009
Senior leaders from the Wenzhou Medical College in China recently toured the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and discussed global dental education trends with Dean Patrick J. Ferrillo, Jr. and other members of the administration.
Dean Ma Jian Feng and several colleagues from Wenzhou Medical College visited the school on Aug. 10 to learn more about the Dugoni School of Dentistry's educational approach.
Dr. Eddie Hayashida, Associate Dean for Administration, gave the delegation a tour of the school, which included stops in the classrooms, simulation lab, main clinic and new oral surgery operatories. Dean Ferrillo spent time with the group to discuss the Dugoni School of Dentistry's educational mission, as well as opportunities for collaboration between dental educators in the United States and China. Dean Ferrillo also presented the school's Global Initiative in Dental Education and shared a copy of the initiative with Dean Ma Jian Feng. The day concluded with an appreciation dinner and socializing.
The meeting was organized by Dr. Colin Wong '65, a board member of the Pacific Dugoni Foundation and an Alumni Association past president who has long been active in humanitarian work and study-abroad opportunities in China.
"It was an honor to welcome Dean Ma Jian Feng and the entire group to see our campus and learn more about our programs," said Dean Ferrillo. "In turn, it was a wonderful chance to learn more about the innovations and educational experiences taking place at Wenhzou Medical College and other dental schools in China. These types of meetings and cultural exchanges are an important part of staying on the forefront of dental education trends around the world."
Wenzhou Medical College, designated as a key university in Zhejiang, is an institution of higher learning under the leadership of Zhejiang Provincial Government. The Hospital of Stomatology, established in 2002, offers dental treatment, education, clinical training and scientific research.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Knicks center Tyson Chandler is out with a strained hamstring and guard Landry Fields is out of the starting lineup for slumping New York.
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said before Wednesday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs that moving Fields to the bench wasn't a demotion. He said the Knicks are simply trying to find combinations that work now that the team is back to full strength.
Iman Shumpert will start in place of Fields.
The Knicks have lost five of eight and have little resembled their Jeremy Lin-inspired resurgence before the All-Star break.
Chandler was listed as day-to-day. Forward Jared Jeffries is also out with a sore right knee and is also expected to miss Friday's game against Milwaukee.

Vermont is home to some of the best places to camp on the east coast. From the idyllic Green Mountains to the waters of Lake Champlain and everything in between, the entire state is an outdoorsman's paradise. Whether you're in search of scenic hiking trails, world-class fishing, exhilarating biking trails, or boating opportunities, Vermont has it all. Although there are dozens of premier camping destinations throughout Vermont's beautiful landscape, three places stand out above the rest.
Winhall Brook
Nestled along the West River and Winhall Brook in Vermont's famed Green Mountains, the Winhall Brook Campground is a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike. Located only seven miles from Ball Mountain Lake and surrounded by miles of hiking and biking trails, the campground attracts thousands of families and outdoorsmen every year in search of endless fishing and recreational activities in a stunning natural setting. Winhall Brook actually runs right through the campground, so visitors can go to sleep each evening to the sound of the brook's babbling waters and sip coffee each morning in paradise as they plan their fun-filled day.
Burton Island State Park
Surrounded by Lake Champlain, Burton Island State Park is 253 acres of boating and fishing bliss. The popular park is only accessible by boat, so visitors without a boat must depart from Kamp Krill Kare State Park and take a 10-minute ferry trip to the island, which is a pleasant adventure in itself. Once there, visitors can choose a scenic campsite, visit the nature center, picnic, swim, and head out on Lake Champlain for a fun-filled day of boating and fishing surrounded by Vermont's unparalleled natural splendor.
Coolidge State Park
Camping in Coolidge State Park is like stepping back in time, because the park has remained virtually untouched since its inception in the 1930s. Known throughout Vermont for its rustic campsites and sweeping mountain views, Coolidge State Park is the recreational centerpiece of the sprawling Calvin Coolidge State Forest, which is the largest public landholding in mountainous central Vermont. With panoramic views of the Green Mountains and the majestic Black River Valley, many campers feel the campsites in Coolidge State Park enjoy the best views in the entire state. In addition to being surrounded by Vermont's scenic beauty, campers have thousands of acres of terrain and miles upon miles of trails to explore.

Today I'll tell you how to draw a simple 2D bridge for a videogame.
Firstly you need to make a few simple sketches like these (given to us by Colorhaze) :
(click on each picture to view larger image)
The main point of the sketches is to provide us a chance to think about the details of our bridge, like: fasteners, screws, couplings, fences, torches and so on. Such details attract a lot of attention of a human brain, so it gets bored when it can't find them on your picture. We can effectively enrich our sketch with details from Google Image Search and then draw sections of out bridge:
Firstly we draw the left side, then copy it and flip to get the right side. Generally it is a bad idea to copy stuff, but in our example as long as we are doing a simple object (bridge) we can allow it. Second, we draw the middle section. Keep it symmetrical, because we plan to duplicate it for creating bridges of a different length.
In this example you don't really need the digital tablet. You can just use your mouse and the Shift-key. Press Shift to draw straight lines (dragging the mouse), or to connect two clicks with a straight line (there are people who don't know about this feature).
Drawing each step we should save our intermediate results by making mini-backups. Later we can use them in case we mess up, or reuse it for other drawings. To make the mini back-up drag all your layers in the "folder"-button and then drag the folder in the "new layer"-button. Here is the duplicated stuff:
Now we should block original folder using the "black-lock" and make the folder invisible to protect it. Then we use the duplicate folders content to build a 4-sections instance of our bridge:
Don't forget to mini-backup it too. Also you can save your drawing in a separate files when you work on something huge like the game level I was showing you last time. That level is a picture 14000 pixels wide, I saved every few hours in a separate file calling it something like public_demo_level_0047.psd and uploaded to DropBox.
Now coloring. We need 3 layers (I list them down- up):
3) White background
2) Lineart – with opacity 60%
1) and a layer (called "color") in the "Multiply" mode.
Two lower layers we block (using black locks) and the "color"-layer we paint with any neutral color:
Press Ctrl+U, play some time with hue and saturation, then add some volume by drawing shadows:
Now you can play a bit using texture brushes:
That's it. Here we are.
Looks quite simple because we are drawing just a simple bridge, there is nothing special about it :)

If a lie is said often enough, it will become the truth when left unchallenged. Affirmative action is the new slavery. It is the new second-tier of citizenship, Abigail Fisher, in Texas does not keep your child from excelling in school. So why are black supporters of Affirmative Action letting Affirmative Action and its discriminatory use block Abigail Fisher's opportunity at the American Dream?
Black mothers and fathers should seriously consider this. When was the last time you saw a white person stand in front of your child in school to keep him from learning? When was the last time you saw a white person stand in front of your child and told him to commit a crime? When was the last time that you saw a white person stand in front of your child and told him not to study, not to get good grades, not to try harder, not to do better, not to be better and not to succeed?
Race based affirmative action may come to a screeching halt and finally put an end to decades of reverse discriminatory policies utilized in higher educational institutions.
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court took up arguments concerning a case brought by Abigail Fisher, a white applicant who was denied admission to the University of Texas (UT) at Austin in 2008. Fisher is challenging UT-Austin's decision to use a race-conscious admission plan which considers race as a factor in admitting students to its incoming freshman class.
Instead of using a fairer race-neutral plan, which Texas law already guarantees the top 10 percent of high school students in their graduating class admission to the university, UT-Austin, went a step further. It used an unnecessary and highly unfair reverse discrimination practice of considering race as a factor for admittance, thus making the purpose for the race neutral Texas law meaningless.
The problem which Miss Fisher and any other high school applicant in Texas and in any other community in America has to consider, is will they be admitted based upon their academic ability, content of their character or any other measurable qualities? ( Read More )

Calling it reverse discrimination indicates the discriminators are being discriminated against. The truth is discrimination is discrimination. The direction from which it originates is irrelevant. Discrimination based on race and creed etc is wrong and should be eliminated, not encouraged by law.
You think that affirmative is doing this in the civilian populace you should have seen it in the military, It was awful, minorities were given totally different tests for promotions than the caucasians. The minorities test questions were written by sesame street, and the caucasion test were written by professors at the Military war College.
PS And nothing about the meeting was ever reported. Sounds like Chicago style intimidation to me.
Jalina, most people do not realize that when Obama first took office (or maybe just after he was elected), he requested, and had, a meeting with the entire Supreme Court, at the Court. I believe that is when he intimidated them. It is the first time that has happened in history, and seemed strange at the time. What other reason would a President Elect have for holding such a meeting. I am amazed Robert agreed to it. Talking about corrupting serparation of powers.
Because of the "guilt" of whites, in general, that was created and exacerbated by their leaders (after Martin Luther King - King did not believe in dependency of his race, and I have often thought he may have been killed because of it. I do not think he would have approved of the tactics of Jesse Jackson and the idiot who lied about the Tiwana Brawley (sp?) case, whose name I can not remember right now.)
All of the race preferrence has been carried to a ridiculous degree, IMHO, and has, unfortunately kept many blacks not only "on the plantation of government dependency", but encouraged their extremist groups, like the Black Panthers, etc. They never mention the fact that at least (and I think it was far more) 41% of the white population was required to help them get the legislation passed by Congress anyway. I have never heard one of their leaders mention that. They take the credit all for themselves, never mentioning that a majority of whites are also instrumental in their having the rights anyway. Slavery was a terrible thing of that century, and we did have a struggle over it as a nation, but all of this has gone on too long, and weakened their race as a part of the culture. 75% of black children now are born illegitimately. In the 50's, they were the most religious segment of our society and there was very little illigitimacy. They were much more Christian centered then, and like the rest of the population, frowned upon illigitmacy. Their leaders and churches should be preaching against these changes in their society, because it just makes them more dependent, and helps their leaders convince them that they should value the government helping them, more than keeping their religious values. Their parents of the 50's are probably appalled themselves at the changes in their own segment of society from how religious they were in the 50's. And it all lays at the feet of the leaders that followed Martin Luther King. With the religious tendacy of the race, which is what got them through the horrible era of slavery, it is sad their own leaders led them into their state of dependency on the government, and to shed their values, just for the political power it has given them. Just my opinion.
The will probably uphold Affirmative Action if Obama gets re elected, because i think Obama has something on Roberts, blackmail if you will. That's the only thing that would explain his vote on Obamacare. If Romney wins I believe they will abolish Affirmative Action, which they should. Thier was a time that I feel it was needed but that has long passed. Now it's discrimination againest Whites in our country. Blacks and Illegals can go to college with Federal Grants but not white children. My son, my Son-IN-Law , were both told that if they were black they could recieve grants by the office workers in the local colleges. It's a shame. This has got to stop. Hiring people who are not qualified but the right skin color is disgusting and this will never help race relations in this country.
Agreed, Jerry. While I may not have the quote quite right, MLK preached that we should judge a man by the quality of his character, not the color of his skin.
I don't beleive Affirmative Action is what Martin Luther King had in mind. I also beleive he's be against it, if he were still alive today.
This is WAY overdue!
Yes, Billy, you're right. I think I was trying to be logical, but then that's the same as being politically facetious and naive, right? Liberals have hijacked MLK but conservatives seem to actually embrace him.
