Nightmare Looms In The Air
On the verge of airline gridlock, Correspondent Steve Kroft reports on the nightmare of airline travel on '60 Minutes' Sunday
How bad has air travel become?
So, bad, Kroft found out, that one out of every four flights is delayed, cancelled or diverted to another airport.
It's so bad that some airports keep a huge supply of cots for the inevitable cancellations that strand hundreds and sometimes thousands of passengers. Chicago's O'Hare keeps over 2,100 cots.
It's so bad that three years ago, the National Civil Aviation Review Commission predicted that the U.S. aviation system will be in gridlock "soon after the turn of the century."
It's so bad that no airline executive would agree to be interviewed about its troubles.
And it's so bad, says Professor Darryl Jenkins, who heads the Aviation Institute at George Washington University, that it's going to get worse before it gets better.
"It will get worse up to the point where you can no longer tolerate the pain," he tells Kroft, "and at that point, you will rise up against your local congressional leaders and force them to do something."

Kuwait - Climate and Weather
Kuwait does have four defined seasons each year. Summer is very hot and dry and dust storms lasting for up to a week are not uncommon. Autumn occurs during October and November and temperatures can be half those of the summer months. These months will see rain storms and occasionally a hail storm will occur. Winter runs from December to the middle of March and the country will see several different weather types in winter, from just cloudy days to fog. Spring can also see thunderstorms and hail and temperatures begin to rise again as summer approaches.
Temperatures in Kuwait City average at around 25°C although temperatures as high as 45°C are common during the summer months. Winter temperatures can be as low as 8°C though can be as high as 19°C and will vary depending upon the region.
Rainfall averages at 8mm a month in Kuwait City, although only 18 days per year will get more than 0.1mm of rain. Most rain will fall during the winter months, although rainy days are few and far between. Thunderstorms are not uncommon as the summer turns to winter and when it does rain, it can be very heavy.
There is an average of 7 hours of sunlight during the winter months and up to 11 hours during the summer. The amount of strong sunshine means that loose cool clothing is essential in summer.
Winds that blow in from Iraq or Iran will bring cooler air with them and if hot winds blow in from the desert the temperatures can rise dramatically. Newcomers should also be aware that sandstorms happen several times a year and can last for days at a time.
Visitors should take appropriate precautions in the heat, both to protect the skin from sun burn and to protect the body from heatstroke. It can take a while to become acclimatised and great care should be taken until you have. There are no risks of hurricanes or other extreme weather, although mild earthquakes are becoming increasingly common. Major earth tremors are very rare.

She became the first woman to be named a senior vice president of the American Stock Exchange in 1985. In 1991 she was put in charge of market development at the exchange, becoming the first woman to attain the title of executive vice president.
Boehmler's financial career began in 1968 when she took a job as a stockbroker in Charlotte, N.C., and later in New York City. She joined Amex's marketing division in 1973. In New York, she served on the board of the city YWCA, co-chaired the World Service Council of the YWCA, and was active in Brick Church and the Junior League. She also served on the board of the Third Street Music School. Since leaving the financial industry, she and her husband live in Davidson, N.C., where she served on the board of trustees at Davidson College. Not quite retired, Boehmler has embarked on a new career as farm administrator and bee keeper.
Since graduating from Sweet Briar, where she was a Manson Memorial Scholar and president of the SGA, she has served on numerous bodies, including the board of directors from 1978 to 1988. She is a member of Sweet Briar's Silver Rose Society, having been a consistent donor to the College for 25 years. In 2006 her family and friends established the Boehmler Scholarship in her honor, which provides full tuition for the most outstanding enrolling member of an incoming class.
2008 — Patsy Smith Ticer '55
The Honorable Patricia Smith Ticer of the Class of 1955, Virginia State Senator for the 30th District is the recipient of the 2008 Distinguished Alumna Award. This award, established in 1988, honors "alumnae who have brought distinction to themselves and to Sweet Briar College through outstanding accomplishments in a professional or volunteer capacity." Senator Ticer is being recognized for her excellent work and accomplishments as a politician of the Commonwealth. During her tenure in the senate and as a member of the City Council of Alexandria, Senator Ticer, better known as Patsy, has made a point of supporting agriculture, conservation and natural resources, and children's health and education.
As a student, Patsy was involved in a variety of clubs and organizations that foreshadowed her bright future in politics and community involvement. A government major, Patsy was a member of the glee club, Friends of Art, the World Affairs Club, Orientation Committee, French Club, the News Staff, Debate Club, Spanish Club, and Social Committee. She was chairman of the Personnel Committee, which helped students find summer employment; commission head of the Sweet Briar YWCA, which helped to emphasize religion in daily life and held social events on campus; and played Varsity Tennis. Patsy was an excellent example of a well-rounded student and graduated a leader among her classmates.
Before her term in the senate began, Patsy steadily climbed in position from Councilwoman of Alexandria to Vice Mayor, serving two consecutive terms in that position, and was elected in 1991 to the position of Mayor. She was the first woman to ever be elected as Mayor of the City. As a member of the City Council of Alexandria, Patsy's most noted accomplishments include: her introduction and sponsorship of the first extensive revision of the City's Master Plan; her involvement in the City's opposition of a proposal by the Washington Redskins to build a new stadium at Potomac Yard, an area zoned for mixed commercial and residential use; and her work in the establishment of the Office of Early Childhood Programs catering specifically to at-risk children.
On the council, Patsy served in many roles. She was Vice-Chair of the Virginia Governor's Council on Child Day Care and Early Childhood Programs for the state and also pushed for the establishment of the Early Childhood Development Commission in Alexandria. She served as Chair of the Northern Virginia Planning District Commission from 1985–1987, then became Chair of the Virginia Association of Planning District Commissions and subsequently Chairman of the National Association of Regional Councils. She was Chairman of the Washington Regional Council of Governments in 1994, Chairman of the Transportation Planning Board, the Washington Region's metro planning organization, and CALEA, the commission for the accreditation of law enforcement agencies. The Commission is national and international, and sets standards for, and accredits law enforcement agencies. Patsy was twice-Chairman of the United Way Campaign and was honored with the Scull Award for Public Service in 1996.
As Senator, Patsy's assignments include the Committee on Local Government, Committee on Rehabilitation and Social Services, the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation Board of Trustees, and the National Conference of State Legislatures' Committee on Human Services and Welfare. Because Patsy believes so strongly in the future of our children, she has devoted much of her influence and time to children's health and opportunity. Through Patsy's guidance and legislation, infants are now tested for serious disorders that, if left untreated, could cause crippling or death.
Patsy has been a resident of Alexandria for over 55 years. She has four adult children and seven beloved grandchildren. She is also a member of Sweet Briar's Silver Rose Society, having been a consistent donor to the College for 25 years or more.
2007 — Gay Hart Gaines '59
A newly planted white ash in front of Sweet Briar House was a gift from the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association to Sweet Briar in honor of Gay Hart Gaines '59 on the occasion of the College naming her this year's Distinguished Alumna Award recipient. The tree was dedicated in a ceremony following the award presentation during SBC's Founders' Day convocation on Sept. 21.
Gaines has been regent of the MVLA, which owns and maintains Mount Vernon, for the past three years. From 2000-04 she represented Florida as a vice regent of the association. These are among myriad roles that earned her one of the highest honors Sweet Briar bestows.
The award is given for distinguishing oneself and the College through volunteer or professional achievements. Gaines took both paths. She ran an eponymous interior design firm for many years and served on the boards of local and national theater associations and diabetes foundations throughout the country. She also promotes conservative public policy through membership in organizations such as the Heritage Foundation, and is active in the Republican Party.
After then-U.S. Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) recruited Gaines to chair GOPAC, the Republican Political Action Committee, in 1993, she helped the GOP win a majority in the House of Representatives the next year. In 2002, she became president of the Palm Beach Republican Club in Florida, where she resides.
In 2003, President George W. Bush appointed her to the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. She was confirmed for a six-year term in late 2004 and currently serves as vice chairman.
But nothing satisfies her more than her role at Mount Vernon, Gaines told those assembled during her acceptance remarks at the convocation.
"Our mission is all about preservation and education," she said, explaining that her passion for history is rooted in her days at Kent Place School in Summit, N.J., and at Sweet Briar.
2006 — Elizabeth Perkins Prothro '39
Her connection to the College began in 1935; she and her mother, driving across the country, passed Sweet Briar. "When I saw it, I decided that's where I wanted to go." Now, three generations of Prothro women have attended: daughter Kay Prothro Yeager '61; Kay's daughters Elizabeth Yeager Edwards '84 and Linda Yeager Beltchev '85; and son Mark's daughter Holly Prothro Philbin '95.
Elizabeth always has shown great generosity, giving financial support but also determining needs and working to fulfill them. In 1957 she served on President Pannell's Advisory Board. Actively interested in the intellectual life of the College, as Founding Chair of Friends of the Library in 1966, she built an organization that immediately enhanced the quality of the library collections. She is a Life Member of FOL.
In 2001 Elizabeth was one of 22 recipients of Sweet Briar's Centennial Award, which recognized faculty, staff, alumnae and friends who "through dedication and commitment have had a significant impact on Sweet Briar College during its first 100 years." In 2002, she became a charter member of the Keystone Society.
She served on the Dallas Campaign Planning Committee (Our Campaign For Her World) in 2003 and also was one of three recipients of the Council of Independent College's major national awards, receiving its Award for Philanthropy, which "celebrates individuals who contribute volunteer service or financial support to independent colleges and universities." Besides Sweet Briar, Southwestern University , Southern Methodist University, Baylor University Medical Center , Midwestern State University , Texas Wesleyan University, the University of Texas, and Wofford College have benefited from Elizabeth 's interest and support.
A member of the Silver Rose Society, her enthusiasm has inspired an ongoing family commitment.
2005 — Jo Ann Soderquist Kramer '64
Jo Ann Soderquist Kramer graduated cum laude with an A.B. in physics from Sweet Briar before becoming the first woman to earn a master's in aerospace engineering from the University of Virginia School of Engineering.
She began her career as an aerospace engineer with Martin Marietta Corp. in Orlando, Fla., then with Lockheed Martin Corp. in Burlington, Vt. She is now director of naval defense system programs for General Dynamics Corp. in Burlington, Vt.
2004 — Anne Litle Poulet '64
With more than 30 years of distinguished experience in the art world, Anne Poulet was named (in October 2003) the fifth Director of the Frick Collection, one of New York City's most beloved cultural treasures. The Frick Collection is housed in the New York mansion built by Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919); its sixteen galleries showcase masterpieces of Western painting, sculpture, and decorative art that Frick bequeathed to the public before his death in 1919. She was Curator Emerita of the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), Boston, and headed its department of European decorative arts and sculpture, as well as oversaw the publication of 8 catalogues of the museum's permanent collection. In 2000, she received the Iris Foundation Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Decorative Arts. In 2003, she was recognized for her excellence as an author/curator of the exhibition catalogue for Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828): Sculptor of the Enlightenment, which opened in May 2003 at the Washington, DC National Gallery of Art and has since been shown at the Los Angeles J.

Background, aim, and scope
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been considered one of the tools for supporting decision-making related to the environmental aspects of a product system. It has mainly been used to evaluate the potential impacts associated with relevant inputs and outputs to/from a given product system throughout its life cycle. In most cases, LCA has not considered the impacts on the internal environment, i.e. working environment, but only the external environment. Recently, it has been recognized that the consideration of the impacts on the working environment as well as on the external environment, is needed in order to assess all aspects of the effects on human well-being. To this end, this study has developed a total environmental assessment methodology which enables one to integrate both the working environment and the external environment into the conventional LCA framework.
Materials and methods
In general, the characteristics of the impacts on the external environment are different from those on the working environment. In order to properly integrate the two types into total environmental impacts, it is necessary to define identical system boundaries and select impact category indicators at the same level. In order to define the identical system boundary and reduce the uncertainties of LCI results, the hybrid IOA (input–output analysis) method, which integrates the advantages between conventional LCI method and IOA method, is introduced to collect input and output data throughout the entire life cycle of a given product. For the impact category indicators at the endpoint level, LWD (Lost Work Days) is employed to evaluate the damage to human health and safety in the working environment, while DALY (disability-adjusted life years) and PAF (Potentially Affected Fraction) are selected to evaluate the damage to human health and eco-system quality in the external environment, respectively.
Results and discussion
The environmental intervention factors (EIFs) are developed not only for the data categories of resource use, air emissions, and water emissions, but also for occupational health and safety to complete a life cycle inventory table. For the development of the EIFs on occupational health and safety, in particular, the number of workers affected by i hazardous items and the number of workers affected at the i magnitude of disability are collected. For the characterization of the impact categories in the working environment, such as occupational health and safety, the exposure factors, effect factors, and damage factors are developed to calculate the LWD of each category. For normalization, the normalization reference is defined as the total LWD divided by the total number of workers. A case study is presented to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method for the integration of the working environment into the conventional LCA framework.
This study is intended to develop a methodology which enables one to integrate the working environmental module into the conventional LCA framework. The hybrid IOA method is utilized to extend the system boundary of both the working environment module and the external environment module to the entire life cycle of a product system. In this study, characterization models and category indicators for occupational health and safety are proposed, respectively, while the methodology of Eco-indicator 99 is used for the external environment. In addition to aid further understanding on the results of this method, this study introduced and developed the category indicators such as DALY, and LWD, which can be expressed as a function of time, and introduced PAF, which can be expressed as a probability.
Recommendations and perspectives
The consideration of the impacts not only on the external environment, but also on the working environment, is very important, because the best solution for the external environment may not necessarily be the best solution for the working environment. It is expected that the integration of occupational health and safety matters into the conventional LCA framework can bring many benefits to individuals, as well as industrial companies, by avoiding duplicated measures and false optimization.

Re: Want to be debt free with min. Cards
my advice is based on some of the things you posted about that are specific to you and your finace.
namely, number 1, that you have both 'been there, done that' re maxing out cards, having to pay with tax returns and even taking out consolidation loans in the past.... over and over.
number 2, you already have a mortgage (i'm assuming you won't be applying for another mortgage any time in the next few years.
number 3, you are willing now to aggressively get a handle on your cc's and debt.
and number 4, you have so many cards between the 2 of you that you have been late making payments (e.g. 5 days late)
if i were in the position you are in
i would look at closing some cards - starting with any low limit cards with AF's that aren't really serving you well (except to be a temptation to spend/charge more. i would weigh how long the card was open (length of credit history with that card vs your overall length of cc history). i would pay off those cards in full and close them after you are sure there is no balance (and hopefully before any AF comes due).
i would then look at any cards that have small balances(say, less than $100) but you want to keep the card for either reqards or other benefits and pay those off in full
Nest (and you haven't indicated how much $ you have available at this time to dedicate to paying down balances), i would systematically start paying dowm the higher APR balances (i personally hate paying interest!) and hopefully you are able to pay more than the minimum due.
i would SD all the cards that you intend to keep and NOT charge anything until all balances reflect <10% utility (or, preferably $0)
as your balances decrease and you've closed really low CL cards with AFs, i would then take stock of the better (good rewards, no AF, low APR) cards you have left and pro-actively decide which cards to keep and which of the remaing ones to close.
if i had to start keeping a spreadsheet just to be sure i didn't miss a cc payment due to the number of cards i had, in my mind that would tell me i had too many cards
look at your rewards categories and perhaps each of you could choose 1 really good rwqard to keep open individually, and 1 good rewards card to keep open jointly. or choose by MC, visa, discover, amex to keep one of each open individually and one of each to keep open jointly.
imo, once you have closed cards that aren't doing anyting for you (low CL, AF, high APR) and after you have come very close to paying down all of your other cards, you might then start looking at getting CLI increases on your remaining cards.
In any case, kudos and best of luck to you both for recognizing and taking an aggressive approach to getting your cc's and debt under control!!!

Discover Hair Care Techniques Of The Pros
Many people may have difficulty figuring out which hair cut, or style is the best for their face shape, and personality. Appearance isn't everything, but people notice. Look no further than this article for some great hair care tips that will help you convey your personality to the rest of the world!
If your conditioner doesn't keep your hair as soft as it should, consider using a leave-in conditioner as well. A good leave-in conditioner can be applied right out of the shower, and will give your hair the moisture it craves. You may also want to try a deep conditioning treatment.
If you are frustrated because your hair will not grow at the rate you want it to, take a look at your diet. Your hair will not grow quickly without adequate nutritional support. Brainstorm ways that you can increase your protein intake, and minimize any junk food in your diet.
Choosing your shampoo and conditioner can seem overwhelming. Manufacturers spend a great deal of time and money coming up with formulas for particular hair types. Use the labels on the bottles to find the products that match your hair type. Match your conditioner to your shampoo and try different brands, if you are unhappy with the results that you get.
When you are in the shower and washing your hair, make sure you turn your hot water down, whenever you are doing your washing and conditioning. Hot water can dry out and irritate your scalp and this can cause flaking and dandruff that is unattractive and also, hard to get rid of.
It is important that you use a good conditioner to make your hair stronger and get rid of tangles easily. Apply your conditioner after rinsing the shampoo out of your hair. Make sure that your hair is completely covered and wait a few minutes for the conditioner to soak your hair.
Don't use bleach on your hair. While bleach can give you great sun-kissed highlights, it also wreaks havoc with your hair structure and makes it dry and brittle. When your hair is dry and brittle, it will break easily and will be difficult to brush. Even the most expensive hair conditioners can't revive bleach damaged hair.
Use two conditioners when you wash your hair. Use one in the shower after rinsing the shampoo out of your hair. If you beloved this informative article along with you would want to receive more info relating to got2bhairproducts.com generously check out the web site. The other conditioner is a leave-in conditioner. It should be applied after you are out of the shower and you towel dry your hair. The combination of conditioners will reduce the static in your hair, as well as, leaving it healthy, soft and manageable.
Do not forget sun protection for your hair. Over-exposure to UV rays can dry out the natural oils in your hair, leaving your hair dull, brittle, and unattractive. Be sure to wear a hat when you plan to spend a length of time in the sun. This will protect your face and your hair.
Your hair should love what you plan to do to it. Go ahead and apply the information you learned today about proper hair care as soon as possible. The sooner you establish good hair care habits the sooner your hair is going to look beautiful for the whole world to see.By robertaaagnfeyxgvk
Be respectful, keep it clean.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Business leaders are preparing to jump behind the wheel and put the pedal to the metal.
The 19th annual Junior Achievement Mini Corvette Challenge takes the green flag Saturday, April 20. On Thursday teams drew numbers to receive their engines for the big race. Over the next few weeks the track will be put together and teams will begin to deliver their cars.
Organizers say the event isn't just a relaxing afternoon drive.
"The folks that come out they are racing like they are in NASCAR. They get very competitive. They have to do a driver change during the race and a tire change so it makes it a little competitive. They are not just driving around in a circle," says President Heather Rogers.
Since 1995 the race has raised more then $500,000 for Junior Achievement. The event is free and open to the public. It will once again be held at the National Corvette Museum.

"For well over a decade now a major debate in Soviet historiography has centered on Bolshevik Russia's suspected participation in a happening called "modernity," a happening that is as exciting to attend as it is difficult to locate. . . . Hoffmann's Cultivating the Masses is the latest book-length contribution to this debate; it testifies to the tenacity of the problematic, while raising doubts as to its continuing fecundity. The research behind Hoffmann's historical narrative is impeccable throughout. . .and his handling of non-Russian contexts is truly impressive in its breadth."―Petre Petrow, Slavic and East European Journal
"David L. Hoffmann offers a powerful counterweight to . . . simple (and self-exonerating) explanations in the first major comparative assessment of Soviet socialism in its turbulent foundational decades. . . . Hoffmann has presented an ambitious survey of Soviet state practices that deserves an audience in all fields of modern world history. Even if some might dispute his largely structuralist interpretation of the system's most infamous abuses, they will be hard pressed to ignore the abundance of evidence he presents of influences common to the transition to modernity. His prose is lucid, and the comparative approach and chronological scope of this monograph make it an attractive choice for the classroom. . . ."―T. Clayton Black, The NEP Era: Soviet Russia 1921-1928
"Cultivating the Masses is a major contribution to an ongoing effort to place the interwar history of the Soviet Union in comparative, transnational, and transcultural perspective according to the central assumptions of this paradigm. . . . This book is a meritorious contribution to that ongoing conversation."―Glennys Young, Russian Review
"In Cultivating the Masses, David L. Hoffmann argues that the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin was not an anomaly in European history―rather, it was one variant of that continent's broader experience with industrial modernity. A challenging thesis, this contention leads Hoffmann not only to reject the popular view that the USSR followed a unique, Sonderweg-like historical trajectory but also to cast doubt upon more routine claims that Soviet state policy development was essentially sui generis, proceeding according to an insular, domestically determined agenda… A fascinating study, Cultivating the Masses deserves to be widely read."―David Brandenberger, The Journal of Modern History (June 2014)
"Cultivating the Masses is one of the most important comparative works to be published in the field of Soviet history. David L. Hoffmann adds his own archival research to a broad interpretive synthesis of social interventionism, concentrating on European countries but ranging across the non-Western world. The book's major themes―the role of factors in addition to ideology in shaping Soviet interventionism and modernity, the centrality of intelligentsia experts, the impact of Russia's 'nurturist' disciplinary culture, and the reinforcing relationship between other forms of social interventionism and Soviet political violence―will have a lasting impact on how we view early Soviet history."―Michael David-Fox, Georgetown University, author of Revolution of the Mind: Higher Learning among the Bolsheviks, 1918–1929
"In keeping with other challenging work in Soviet history, David L. Hoffmann asks us to rethink the purposes and meanings of socialist construction during the Stalin years by placing that history comparatively in its time―whether defined by the violence and mass mobilizations of the Imperial and early Bolshevik periods or by the wider European contexts of governmentality, population, and welfare. We may not go all the way, but anyone interested in how the boundaries of the social were attacked and reimagined during those times can do far worse than begin from this book."―Geoff Eley, Karl Pohrt Distinguished University Professor of Contemporary History, University of Michigan, author of A Crooked Line: From Cultural History to the History of Society
"David L. Hoffmann has written a masterful synthesis of much recent literature and added his own archival research to firmly situate late imperial Russia and the Soviet Union in the comparative international scholarship of the modern state. By examining state intervention in the realms of social welfare, public health, reproductive policies, and surveillance, he makes a persuasive case for tracing the origins of Soviet socialism in European ideas and practices of cameralism, the Enlightenment, romanticism, and the rise of the social sciences in the nineteenth century. He traces the evolution of the Soviet project from its imperial roots in the professions that deployed social statistics, criminology, demography, and other forms of knowledge and power to the birth of the Bolshevik state in conditions of total war. Socialist ideology as such, he argues, played a less important role against this backdrop of modern state practices."―Mark von Hagen, Arizona State University, author of Soldiers in the Proletarian Dictatorship

Released: Feb 01st, 2001
Running Time: 89
Director: Tom Stone
Company: Odyssey Group Video
Cast: Mark Anthony (I), Lex (I), Brandon Iron, Sandra (I) (Romanian), Christina (I), Clark (I), Corina, Dee (I), Sheila (I), Lacey (I), Irene, Nick (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Sophisticated, tasty hardcore eye-candy for singles and couples. Stunningly beautiful Lacey on the box cover ought to help move this title faster than a brushfire in July.
Extremely artsy and sensual without lacking in the heat department, this video seems like an Architectural Digest fan's wet dream: beautiful performers fucking in equally gorgeous and luxurious settings. The cast is an interracial American mix predominately black and white. Several of the women on this tape look like light-skinned African-Americans gone Eurobabe with lithe, fine-assed bodies that appear blissfully innocent of the surgeon's knife and the scrape of the razor.
There are six sex scenes, the highlight being the last scene starring Dee and incredibly beautiful newcomer Lacey. At the start of the scene, Lacey looks annoyed that her man sits on the couch, engrossed with a porn video. The shots showing her man's expression of rapt attention and desire while watching the porn intercut with shots of her reactions perfectly capture and narrate in an affably magical moment. Women who don't understand why many men - their boyfriends, lovers, or husbands - enjoy porn so much could learn a valuable lesson from what Lacey does next: Instead of bitching at him, she strides over and takes gentle control by directing his attention to the desirable, aroused flesh in front of him - herself. As they start going hot and heavy, Dee, the woman in the porn video, steps out of the screen and joins them for a blazing threeway that ends up with the two ladies cheerfully taking messy facials side by side with nary a hint of disgust. The message made literal in this scene: Women, porn does not have to be your enemy or competition but rather an attractive ally for achieving your sexual fulfillment.

Ok, guys, heres my recipe for meat loaf (and I disliked meat loaf until this one, which I found makes wonderful meatloaf sandwiches - that is if theres leftovers): This makes enough for 4 with plenty left over for big sandwiches on bread spread with plenty of mayonnaise. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put the meats and egg in a large bowl. Crush the crackers finely. Mix Worcestershire with 1/2 cup of the ketchup (youll use the other 1/4 cup later). Sprinkle salt over meat and mix well with your hands. Then add saltines and mix again. Then add onions, green peppers, and pickles and mix again. Then add the Worcestershire/ketchup mix and mix again. Put the mixture in an oblong loaf pan, patting and slapping it into shape (this firms the meat loaf believe it or not). Put it in the oven and bake 45 minutes. Baste with the remaining ketchup. Bake another 45 minutes. Drain any grease out and let it cool a bit before slicing so it will hold its shape.

I have a borderless, non-resizable WPF form (WindowStyle=None, AllowsTransparency=True, ResizeMode=NoResize) with a semi-transparent background. Here's a picture of how the form, a semi-transparent red rectangle, looks right now, running on top of Notepad:
However, I'd like the background to be blurred, like how Aero glass does it, except without all the fancy window borders and colored background with stripes - I'd like to handle that myself. Here's a mockup of how I want it to look like:
How can I achieve this in the most efficient way possible?
WinForms or WPF is fine by me. Hopefully it should use the same thing Aero glass uses (I'm fine with it working only with Aero enabled), instead of something crazy like capturing the screen region below as a bitmap and blurring that.
Here is a picture of what I DON'T want:
I know this is possible and I know how to do it, but I DON'T want the entire Aero glass window chrome, or the borders and title bar, or the window to have the user-set Aero glass color, JUST the effect of blurring whatever is below the window/form.

Gifts to Salvation Army help more than 5,200
Published: Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 5, 2011 at 6:56 p.m.
The Salvation Army was able to help more than 5,200 residents this holiday season.
More than 1,200 children were helped through the Angel Tree program, said Capt. Christopher Thornhill.
"This is such a giving community," he added.
The kettle campaign raised $85,000 in Henderson, Transylvania and Polk counties, the coverage area for the local Salvation Army.
Compared to last year, the weather only affected a couple of days of the campaign. Last year's campaign raised $76,065.16, despite a snowstorm the weekend before Christmas quieting the bells on one of the biggest weekends for the kettles.
"Our kettle campaign was a success," Thornhill said.
A mail campaign in which the organization sent out fliers was very successful as well, Thornhill said, as a lot of donors opted to donate through the mail instead of the kettles.
Additionally, 949 food boxes were given to families in need and 2,559 persons were visited and provided a gift in retirement homes, life care and correctional institutions.

On the shores of Newfound Lake, the town of Bridgewater, New Hampshire, was incorporated in 1788 by a group of settlers from Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The town remains small, with the population just passing 1,000 people in 2004. To check out Bridgewater's lakefront vistas or the local fall foliage, book a room at one of the many local inns, motels and bed and breakfasts.
A Newfound Bed & Breakfast
At A Newfound Bed & Breakfast (anewfoundbnb.com), just a mile east of downtown Bridgewater, the guest rooms overlook Newfound Lake and feature views of the Cardigan mountains. The bed and breakfast features a lounge with a stone fireplace and a game room. Wireless Internet access is available throughout the inn. Business travelers have use of fax and copy services. Breakfast is available in the dining room, in your bedroom or on the deck, whenever the weather permits. An outdoor grill is available for guest use. Each guest room has distinct decor and amenities, which may include a mini refrigerator, a canopy-style bed, a fireplace stove, plush bathrobes or a jetted spa tub.
Pleasant View Bed & Breakfast
The Pleasant View Bed & Breakfast (pleasantviewbedandbreakfast.com) is about five miles southwest of Bridgewater, on the opposite shore of the lake. The inn features six guest rooms, all with private bathrooms, in a house built in the early 1800s. Common areas include two sitting rooms, a loft and a patio as well as the extensive backyard area. A private cottage is also available. Parking is available for cars or RVs as well as boat and snowmobile trailers.
Bridgewater Inn
The Bridgewater Inn (bridgewater-inn.com) is right in Bridgewater and features an inn and motel, plus a Japanese steakhouse, a tavern and an American-style dining room. All rooms feature private bathrooms. Inn guests have use of a parlor. Motel guests have use of a seasonal outdoor pool. A groomed snowmobile path abuts with the property and opportunities for fishing, boating, ice fishing and skiing are all within a short distance.
Amy-Jo Cottages
On the southern shore of Newfound Lake, just a mile and a half south of town, Amy-Jo Cottages (amy-jocottages.com) is comprised of six individual lakefront cabins. All of the cabins have fully equipped kitchens and dining areas, bathrooms, living rooms and separate bedrooms. Cabins sleep anywhere from two to six people. The "penthouse" unit features a private deck. All units have private bathrooms, cable TV and sofa beds in the living rooms. The minimum stay is two nights.
Additional Options
Visitors looking for additional lodging options may stay in nearby Bristol, just four miles south of town. For example, Bristol's Henry Whipple House (thewhipplehouse.com) is a Victorian home built in 1904, right in the center of historic Bristol. The house is listed on the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places and features five guest rooms plus three suites in the adjacent carriage house.

The Visitation
Last fall the seminary where I teach was visited by a team of examiners sent by the Vatican. Interviews were conducted with faculty members and with students studying for the priesthood. Initially, I was hopeful that the visit would lead to a fruitful discussion on the education and formation of priests. I was disappointed. Instead of taking a broad look at our curriculum, the interviewers focused almost exclusively on our "fidelity" to the church's sexual teaching. Other aspects of priestly formation did not seem to interest them.
The visit to my school-the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley (JSTB)-was part of an investigation of U.S. seminaries begun in September 2005 in response to the sexual-abuse scandal. (Most concluded last spring, although a few small houses of formation were visited over the summer.) The mandate was to investigate how seminaries evaluate candidates for the priesthood, and to gauge each school's faithfulness to magisterial teaching, especially in the area of moral theology. These aims reflected the tendentious assessment of the sexual-abuse crisis put forward by some conservative Catholic commentators-that the abuse of children was rooted in lax teaching and loose observance of sexual norms, especially with regard to homosexuality.
I was skeptical about the presuppositions underlying the visitation. Is visiting seminaries and questioning moral theologians an appropriate...

FreeSett is a clone of 'The Settlers', a real time strategy game by BlueByte. It is developed with C# and runs on Linux as well as on Windows using the Mono .Net runtime.
We have just released our very first version of FreeSett. We do not consider it alpha yet so don't expect too much.
However, a good part of the game logic is already implemented. This demo focuses on automatic good transportation and map generation.
Be warned though that you will need a little bit of imagination in order to see units carry stuff around ;-)... read more
FreeSett's code is based upon C++ code from newsettlings. As of yesterday, the new C# code is equivalent in functionality to the old code and we hope to have our first (text-based) demo by the end of February.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in the project.

Many medical imaging, remote sensing and other important imaging applications result in a set of images called a linearly additive, spatially invariant (LA SI) image sequence. Previous research has shown that a K-image sequence with M distinct features (M<K) can be linearly filtered using either the KL transform or the orthogonal projection (OP) transform into an M-image set from. which the original K-image set can be recovered with complete feature reconstruction. In those studies, the noise was modeled as Gaussian (uniform over the image scene) or Poisson (dependent on the feature distribution). This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the same technique for LA SI image sequences with salt and pepper noise, which is neither uniform nor feature dependent, by comparing the results with those for the same image scene with an equal amount of Gaussian or Poisson noise

Well I just hope that you & Robert are very happy together.
Niiicce! I really love that daisy in the background. Great job.
Uh, the first skin I had up at this WordPress blog was Charlize Theron! Now what GUY in North American (or South Africa for that matter, where she's from) doesn't know THAT?!
I decided to go with the daisy for now, to integrate it with my main site. I'll worry about skinning later on down the road. Thanks for the kind wishes about Robert. He comes home from rehab next week. Woot!
Heck. Even an ol fella like me knows Charlize when he sees her. And I am not even (gasp) American. Glad u liked my bon mot. :-)

Her ethnographic research focuses on the impact of socioeconomic globalization on local markets in Mexico. She will investigate local perceptions of the effects of global supermarkets on traditional markets, the economy, health, and culture. While in Mexico, she will also tour archaeological ruins, participate in the Cultural Immersion Program, and take a course on traditional Mexican cooking.
