Bennington resident Norman Greenberg diesStaff Report | September 20,2013BENNINGTON — Norman Greenberg, a well-known businessman and philanthropist, has died, according to Southern Vermont College's website.
Greenberg, 95, was a trustee at Southern Vermont College for many years and he and his wife, Selma, who died in 2011, provided a lot of support for the college. The Greenberg Atrium at Hunter Hall is named for the family.
In a statement on the website, Southern Vermont College President Karen Gross called the Greenbergs "among the best mentors and friends a new college president could ever ask for and receive" and said he would be "sorely missed" by the college community.
"His greatest gift to the college and to us was his time, his wisdom, his good humor, his extraordinary understanding of the Bennington community and his deep belief in the college and its mission," she said.
Greenberg and his family were honored with the Distinguished Community Service Award by Southwestern Vermont Health Care on Sept. 7.
The family name is also known for the Norman and Selma Greenberg Conservation Reserve, which was created after Norman and Selma donated 96 acres of land in Bennington to the New England Tropical Conservancy.
But locally, Greenberg is best known for the downtown store, H. Greenberg and Son, Inc., a hardware, plumbing and electrical supply store on Main Street launched by Norman in 1949.
Greenberg is survived by his sons, Edward, David and Steven, as well as other family members.

I went to Toucan Recycling for the first time the other day because I was short on time and I noticed they are right by I-10 on Colorado and Poplar St. It was much cleaner than most recycling centers you will visit and it took me less than ten minutes to get there form Wurzbach. The prices matched or beat the other companies I called around to check with. Their number is also easy to remember 737-CANS, but they take materials other than cans.

▴ Eltrombopag, an orally administered, small-molecule non-peptide thrombopoietin receptor agonist, selectively binds to the transmembrane domain of the thrombopoietin receptor on the surface of platelets, megakaryocytes and megakaryocyte precursor cells. The drug acts via the Janus Kinase/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway to activate megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation in bone marrow progenitor cells, similar to those observed with endogenous thrombopoietin.
▴ Platelet counts are increased as a result of eltrombopag therapy, and the drug has shown good clinical efficacy in adults with chronic immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre, phase II dose-finding and phase III trials.
▴ After 6 weeks of therapy in the phase III trial, eltrombopag 50 mg/day was associated with a significantly higher response rate (proportion of patients with a platelet count of ≥50 000 cells/μL at day 43; primary endpoint) than placebo in adult patients with chronic ITP.
▴ In addition, the proportion of patients with ITP achieving a platelet count of >200 000 cells/μL and discontinuing treatment due to protocol-defined treatment-cessation criteria, was ≈8-fold higher with eltrombopag than with placebo.
▴ Eltrombopag therapy for 6 weeks also significantly decreased the incidence of WHO-defined bleeding compared with placebo.
▴ Eltrombopag was generally well tolerated in clinical trials, with an adverse events profile that did not differ significantly from that with placebo.

I've got a HTML page that uses a WebGL canvas to display some 3D content. Overlayed are multiple
<div> that are placed by inline CSS with
position: absolute and relevant dimensions for
top and
When I update the view on the 3D content (e.g. rotate everything a bit) I also need to move all the overlayed
<div> so that they seem to stay in the same place in the 3D space.
How can I update the web page, so that only one repaint will happen?
When I'd first repaint the WebGL and then iterate over n
<div>, I'd get n+1 repaints per frame. That's not very nice during an animation that should get at least 30 fps...
I also know the other questions like:
Is there a way to apply multiple CSS styles in a batch to avoid multiple reflows? - but that talks about combining multiple CSS parameters in one element (I'm using that already here to get from 2 n+1 down to n+1...)
Multiple DOM updates in a single redraw/reflow? - but I'm not sure if that could help here as I guess I'd also have n+1 redraws...
PS: jQuery is allowed, as it's already used in that project.

AbstractRadar signature prediction has been the focus of much research and development for the past 50 years. With the increasing CPU speeds, the focus over the past 15 years has been to develop fast and rigorous simulation tools for composite structures. Evenwith modern computational resources, requirements for modeling large structures overwhelm existing supercomputers. The level of detail in target modeling must be significantly increased since features on the order of a few wavelengths are important for lowRCS calculations. While CEM tools have matured tremendously over the last decade, accurate RCS prediction of realistic ground vehicles at X, Ka and W-bands remains a challenge. Apart from the excessive CPU requirements, there is a need for a practicalintegration of established and modern computational methods to efficiently model materials, composites, and large-scale metallic structures. During Phase I, we proposed a hybrid methodology which forms the basis for a successful integration of theestablished (high frequency and integral methods) and state-of-the-art modern simulation methods along with fast algorithms under a single framework powered through a graphical interface with pre- and post-processing capabilities. Reduced order models forfrequency and angle extrapolations will be also incorporated for generating practical ISAR images.Developed computational tools will be applicable to both radar signature calculations and also for antenna performance predictions. These tools can also beused in the commercial aviation, transportation and security industry. Growing applications also exist in the areas of medical monitoring and imaging.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Felix Sabates asked for an Earnhardt Ganassi Racing shirt with color in it before leaving the race shop for Daytona International Speedway. He was tired of the white that was sort of a signature for Chip Ganassi Racing and wanted a change.
So he was given a pink shirt, which seemed all right until he arrived for Sunday's qualifying for the Daytona 500 and saw co-owner Chip Ganassi.
He was wearing pink as well.
Coincidence? You bet.
But maybe it's a sign that everybody's getting on the same page at the newly merged company. Having Martin Truex Jr. on the pole and three of the six fastest cars -- Juan Pablo Montoya was fourth and Aric Almirola sixth -- doesn't hurt, either.
I wouldn't have said that six months ago. At that time, I suggested that Ganassi Racing was in disarray after releasing 71 employees, folding the No. 40 team of Dario Franchitti and losing longtime sponsor Texaco Havoline.
That didn't sit well with Ganassi. He called me out in a crowd during a behind-the-hauler news conference a few days later. He vowed in a way only Ganassi can that he wouldn't speak to me for a long time. Maybe forever.
I still believe "disarray" was an accurate description at the time. So did one of his team members, who suggested Ganassi didn't know what the word meant.
It doesn't matter now. The word no longer applies.
Ganassi did the right thing when he merged with Dale Earnhardt Inc. Both organizations did. They combined the best of both worlds -- and each had a lot to offer -- to make a stronger company.
But what I like best about this deal is the Ganassi factor. DEI had the best of everything equipment-wise last season. Ask outside pole-sitter Mark Martin, who called 2008 one of the most fun of his career.
What the company didn't have was a leader around the shop and at the track. That's not Teresa Earnhardt's style. Truex actually referred to her as a ghost.
With Ganassi around on a regular basis, the mechanics, engineers and even floor sweepers won't feel so disconnected when things don't go well. That Ganassi opted not to go to the Super Bowl to watch his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers play because it would create the wrong impression was a class act.
It gave me a newfound appreciation for the man.
I even liked his pink shirt and may wear a pink shirt of my own for the Daytona 500. Sabates certainly plans to wear his.
"I'm gonna go home and wash this and wear it to every race the rest of the week," he said. "Maybe the rest of the season."

Archive of Modern Conflict––Beijing Office
The Archive of Modern Conflict is a photographic archive based in London and curated by Timothy Prus and Ed Jones. As a part of Caochangdi Photospring 2012, highlights from its collection and a selection of the AMC's publications are featured in a rare exhibition organized by head of the Beijing office Thomas Sauvin 苏文. Here he discusses his work for the archive in Beijing, the exhibition, and their recent publication, Happy Tonite, which features the work of 12 contemporary Chinese photographers.
[Gordon Earl Adams and his Time Machine, UK, Twentieth Century © Archive of Modern Conflict]
"From 2006-2010 we were focusing on Contemporary Chinese photography, it resulted in the Happy Tonite publication that only showcases a tiny facet of the collection, 75 prints from 12 photographers. The collection now counts 55 Chinese photographers and a little more than 4000 prints. The AMC collects photographers from all over the world, although contemporary works are not the core of the collection.
But the AMC is open to any type of work, as long as it surprises them. I guess the game is how to surprise them. It's not that easy, as they have been looking at images everyday for 35 years. Photography can be an amazingly boring medium. A lot of Chinese works, especially from the early 2000s, convey some sort of strange, twisted, dirty fairytale style of photography. It's pretty unnatural, so the game was to put them together and see what happened. The photographers in Happy Tonite are all mixed together, its very hard to tell who took what.
Nein, Onkel: Snapshots From Another Front 1938–1945 is definitely their most important publication, it is actually why the AMC is called so, because in the beginning they were collecting material related to WW2. From 1993-2005 they were gathering private photo albums from German soldiers all around the world, the idea was to challenge the notion popular in that period, the "German killing machine," and to challenge the collective memory with authentic images from the same period.
The Beijing office of the AMC has a physical space, and I'm pretty proud of it because it finally smells like Panjiayuan in there. I have bought enough dusty books, period publications, photo albums and all kinds of stuff. The archive is not public, but if I had to divide the archive into three branches, there would be the contemporary, which is still growing, period publications (mostly books), and personal photographs and albums. Two albums showing in the exhibition are the PLA clothes factory sample album, and the special effects make up artist.
If we want to build up a visual chain from 1949 to now, the only way to cover 1949-79 is through official propaganda period publications, and one must admit that pretty amazing books were made. A lot of time, money, energy and talent were spent on these huge publications, especially publications in 1959. Martin Parr is focusing on Chinese publications now, he is working with the Dutch photographer Ruben Lundgren in Beijing.
I try to go to Panjiayuan every week, but the main problem with Panjiayuan is that the sellers always think they know what has value. They have great things, but they never show them to me, because, being a foreigner, they think that I'm only obsessed with Mao or the Cultural Revolution, etc. AMC doesn't try to dig out sensitive material, or to press where it hurts. A lot of people like to do that, especially in photography.
[Beauty and the Fridge (left); Lucha-Libre © Archive of Modern Conflict]
There are no themes that we collect by. We like to have something amorphous. You never know if something is the right thing to collect, but anything that generates an emotion, surprise, nostalgia, melancholy, amusement, is probably worth keeping. Things emerge organically. We don't have a purpose that we try to illustrate. We try to take interest in all kinds of people and different visual universes. The best photo album I could imagine is by a real estate agent, he's not an artist, but for years he's been taking simple snapshots in a hardcore way—what is the price, what is the size (of real estate). I like when images are not taken for an artistic purpose, but when you decontextualize them and put them in such a space, they have another meaning.
We tend to like funny people and funny work, and a little bit of humor is very nice to find in photography. Photographers often try to convey very sad feelings and melancholia, and somehow it's very hard to find funny work, but people really like it. So if there were one rule, it would be not to take photography too seriously, and not to pay too much attention to technique.
Most important is the history behind the image, and perhaps the great masterpiece of this exhibition is Gordon Earl Adams' time machine. The images are not spellbinding, but the story behind them is: in the 1920s Adams' started to build a time machine in his basement, and now both the time machine and the guy are impossible to find. So maybe it worked. We don't know. I didn't actually do the research myself, but AMC ended up with this huge manuscript he worked on, a huge photo album and handwritten diagrams based on Indian mythology on which the design of the machine is based. Adams was an engineer, a seeker of spiritual truth, and an unusual character. And that is all that's left of the story. The machine––and you've seen it's no small machine—and the man disappeared. Nobody seems to know, there are no records in cemeteries, and no one kept the machine. In this case, if you take the images individually they don't say much, so we also wanted to feature his diagrams prominently in the exhibition. They were maps on how to build the machine, and showing the connection between infinity and eternity, the material universe and spiritual universe, hell and heaven.
Its always very hard to define the archive, the best way is to define what it is not. It is not a photo agency, it's not a gallery, and it's not a museum. It doesn't look like anything we know.
"Photographic Oddities from The Archive of Modern Conflict" is on display from April 14 to May 6, 2012 at Chamber's Fine Art in Caochangdi. A Chinese version of this interview was posted on artforum.com's Chinese edition.

What exactly is Reflection? I read the Wikipedia article on this subject and I understand that it is a kind of meta-programming, where the program can modify itself at run-time, but what does this mean? In what kind of situations is this a good approach and when is it the best to use it?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Reflection is a facility where you can query an object about its attributes at runtime. For example, Python, Java and .Net have facilities where you can find the instance variables or methods of an object.
An example of an application for reflection is an O/R mapping layer. Some use reflection to construct an object by quering its properties at runtime and dynamically populating an instance. This allows you to do this programatically based on metadata from some sort of data dictionary without having to recompile the application.
To take a simple example, I'll use Python because its reflection facilities are very simple to use and involve less boilerplate than those of java or .Net.
Now, we've used basic reflection to examine the instance variables of an arbitrary object. The special variable
Note that this particular trick doesn't work on Java or .Net, as the instance variables are fixed. The type system of these languages doesn't allow new instance variables to be added at runtime in the way that python's 'duck' typing system does. However, you could have reflectively updated the value of an instance variable that was declared in the type definition.
You can also use reflection to dynamically construct method invocations and perform various other neat tricks such as instantiating an object based on a parameter. For example, if you had some sort of plugin based system where certain capabilities were optional, you could use reflection to query the plugin about what services it offered (perhaps by querying whether certain interfaces were implemented) without requiring explicit metadata.
Many dynamic language interfaces such as OLE automation use reflection as an integral part of the interface.
It's not so much modifying code at execution time, but examining objects and asking them to execute code without knowing their type statically.
One simple way of describing it would be "a somewhat painful way of making a statically typed language behave dynamically."
EDIT: Uses:
Is it a good idea? Well, only when the alternatives are painful. I prefer static typing when it doesn't get in the way - then you get lots of compile-time goodness, and it's faster too. But when you do need it, reflection lets you do various things which otherwise just wouldn't be possible.
The first good example I can think of off the top of my head is for when you need to execute a set of methods on a given object without knowing at compile-time what methods will exist in it.
Take unit testing frameworks for example. The test runner class that is responsible for running all your unit tests doesn't know ahead of time what you are going to name your methods. All it knows is that they will be prefixed with "test" (or in Java 5's case, annotated with
Reflection has been useful to me in at least 1 project I can think of. We wrote an internal "Process Manager" program that performs a lot of key business processes at certain intervals. The project is set up so that the core is really just a windows service with timer objects that fire off every 30 seconds or so and check for work to do.
The actual work is being done in a class library (appropriately called "WorkerLib"). We define classes with public methods that perform certain tasks (moving files around, uploading data to remote sites, etc.) The idea is that the core service can call methods from the worker library without knowing anything about the methods it's calling. This allows us to create a schedule in the database for jobs, and even add new methods into the class library without ever having to alter the core system.
The basic idea is that we can use reflection in the core service to execute methods whose names we have stored in the database defining the schedules. It's pretty neat in practice. Our core service is solid and handles executing the jobs as needed, while the actual worker library can be expanded and changed as necessary without the core even caring.
If you need further explanation, please feel free to ask. This was simply the best way I could think of to explain a real-world scenario where reflection really makes things easier for us.
Another example: I have code that I use that takes the output of a database - which is a set of rows with named columns - and feeds it into an array of objects. I iterate through the rows, and if the target object has a property with the same name and type, I set it. This makes for my data-getting code just looking something like this:
Really, reflection should be thought of as sort of an amplifier for code. It can make good code better and cleaner, and bad code worse. What does it do? It really allows you to write code, that your not totally certain what it's going to do at the time you write it. You have a general idea, but it allows you to not code what objects, methods, and properties are going execute when the program is compiled.
Other posts are correct when they say it allows the program to execute code based on configuration values, but it's real power is that it allows you to severely bend the rules of object oriented programming. That's really what it does. It's kind of like turning the safety measures off. Private methods and properties can be accessed through reflection along with just about anything else.
An excellent example of when MS uses reflection is with data binding on data object. You specify the name of the text field and data field for an object to bind to a drop down list etc., and the code reflects the object and pulls out the appropriate information. The data binding object does the same process over and over again, but it doesn't know what type of object it has to bind with. Reflection is a convenient way of writing a little bit of code to handle all the possible cases.
In Java it is basically a way to instantiate a class without knowing about it before hand. Say you want the user to be able to change a configuration file by adding the class they want your program to use (say you have numerous implementations of some interface). With reflection you can create an object based on just it's name, method signature, etc. . . and then cast it to your interface.
Reflection is useful for runtime configuration, allowing parts of a system to be driven through external configuration.
For example, a class factory could construct different concrete types based on an input file, where the concrete types require different configuration information to call a concrete constructor rather than using a builder interface. (The constructor method of the object being located using reflection).
Reflection is (basically) the ability of a program to query for type information that was available to the compiler. So, for example, given the name of a type you can query for the methods it contains. Then for each method you can query for the types of the parameters they take etc etc etc.
It's useful for runtime configuration where you've got a config file that specifies the behavior of your application. The config may contain the names of concrete types that you should use (as is often the case with IOC containers). Using reflection you can create an instance of this concrete type (via a reflection API) and use it.
I'll give you an example.
As a programming exercise I wrote an mp3 file checker. It scans my music library and displays the id1/id2 tags I'm interested in in a DataGridView. I use reflection to get the properties from the mp3 info class without the UI code having to know anything about that class. If I want to change what information gets displayed I can either edit the mp3 info class or change its configuration (depending on how I wrote the class) and don't have to update the UI.
It's also meant that I've been able to use Dependency Injection to use the same from end to display information about digital photographs just by swapping the data library class.
Assemblies contain modules, modules contain types, and types contain members. Reflection provides objects that encapsulate assemblies, modules, and types. You can use reflection to dynamically create an instance of a type, bind the type to an existing object, or get the type from an existing object. You can then invoke the type's methods or access its fields and properties. Typical uses of reflection include the following:

Dunn House
Sarah's Story
Sarah came to to Dunn House, fleeing her ex-partner who was stalking her. While at Dunn House she found a job but was concerned about finding housing with three cats and a past eviction. She was given the opportunity to rent a 5th wheel RV with the option to buy and she needed to locate a trailer park where she could place the 5th wheel.
Sarah was saving money to purchase the trailer and could make payments to the owner. She needed help to move into the trailer park. Through the WiLL grant, Dunn House Shelter was able to provide two months rent at the trailer park so Sarah could move in. That was in May. She continues to work, attend the support group at Dunn House, and keep her trailer with her three cats who mean everything to her.
Sarah feels safe for the
first time in a very long time and is thankful for the assistance she received.
It takes a community to help those in need take another step forward.

Re: Helen Ploskina
Helen played her only 3rd tournament this year (and first since last February) at 10K Bucha in Ukraine.
She beat (WC)Tatiana Perebiynis (the 32 yo who used to be #55 in the world and has been playing a few tournaments this year) 2 & 3 in R1, and top seed Olga Ianchuk (WTA 253) 4 & 1 in R2, but lost to Moldavian moonballer Alexandra Perper 6-7(6) 2-6 in QF
So she's played only 3 tournaments so far this year, and only at home or very near... (2 tournies in Ukraine, 1 in Moldova). I thought she was maybe busy with school, but I'm now wondering if she isn't struggling financially?

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
You'll be tempted to point out that Steve Rogers actually enlisted in the Army, or that luchador costumes violate some antiquated U.S. military regulation, but fight those impulses until you can fully appreciate that Air Force Chief of Staff Mark A. Welsh delivered an address on Tuesday while wearing a Captain America mask.
Wait, considering Welsh's rank, shouldn't that be General America? Whatever the case, Welsh didn't want anyone to think the letter on his head stood for France: According to the Military Times, the general pointed to the letter and said, "A is for Airpower."
(via io9.com)
Hey, at the time Steve enlisted, the Air Force wasn't a separate service yet. It was still part of the Army.
So Welsh is just reaching back to their shared roots!
This is some Dr. Strangelove level buffonery, here.

"This replaced my 93 s10 4.3l 4x4 after a wreck. Not only is comfortable and roomy inside, but with the AWD this thing can go anywhere. I mean I had bald, no tread whatsoever, tires on it and it would come up my driveway (27degree incline, dirt) even on the worst days when it had been pouring down rain. 2008 F150 4x4 with mud tires couldn't make it up, nor could the 2005 Sierra Denali AWD until it got mud tires. On top of that going down the road is smooth. Mine still has key-less entry. The only complaint which is minor is because I have the towing package with the 4.10 gearing, is when the vehicle shifts from first to second it grabs a little hard. Once you drive this vehicle you learn to compensate for it and it is hardly noticeable. Also the rear window can rattle, but is an easy fix."

Start-ups pouring money into research and development will
get a cash-flow boost under a new tax measure that is seen as
a "great response" to the sector's challenges.
Under the initiative, announced with yesterday's Budget,
start-up companies who are investing in R&D can
"cash-out" tax-losses.
This means the qualifying companies can get an upfront
payment rather tax losses being carried forward and applied
against future income.
The Government also announced businesses would be able to
deduct tax for "R&D black hole expenditure" and estimates
the two policies would return $58.1 million to companies over
four years.
The two policies are due to come into effect from April 2015.
Inland Revenue said the "cash-out" payment is not a grant and
that companies would eventually return it through taxes paid.
Under the policy, IRD said it can also recover the cash-out
payments if a company sells intellectual property, 90 per
cent of its shares, moves overseas for tax purposes or is
EY executive director of tax Angela Williams said the policy
would help companies investing in R&D get benefit of tax
losses "early in the piece".
"It's also just helping their cash-flow constraints. Because
there's recognition that, particularly for a lot of small and
medium enterprises, they don't have ready access to cash
funding at that early stage," Williams said.
Andy Hamilton, chief executive of business incubator The
Icehouse, praised the policy and said it showed the
Government was listening to the challenges of the sector.
"I think it's a great response," Hamilton said.
"Cash is king for start-ups, especially when you are doing
heavy R&D," he said.
"We know R&D-intensiveness is a really positive thing for
the economy. The more companies we have being R&D
intensive I think that's fantastic and it recognises it takes
those companies a long time to get to a commercial outcome.
And so a bit of cash here or there that enables that I think
is fantastic."
Employers and Manufacturers Association chief executive Kim
Campbell applauded the Government for making the change.
"These long overdue measures on their own could well result
in a highly desirable pick up in private sector investment in
R&D and innovation," Campbell said.
University of Auckland's Physics Department Shaun Hendy said
it was interesting to see the Government "dancing around the
edges" of the R&D tax credit scheme it axed in 2008.
"Most people in this sector think R&D tax credits would
be a good idea ... they've edged a little bit closer," he
"[The change] won't be a huge boost to our private sector
R&D but it's at least pleasing to see them dancing around
the edges and perhaps that goes some way to admitting that
cutting them wasn't the best idea," said Hendy, who is the

Released: Jun 01st, 1993
Running Time: 85
Director: Fabrizio Masi
Company: Paradise Visuals
Cast: Rebecca Bardoux, Chelly Supreme, Golden Jade, Jeff Scott, Julian St. Jox, Duke (I), Janet Jacme, Kris Newz, China Mai
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Now, here's something you don't see every day, Chauncy: a feature that's linked by following characters from one sex scene to another, rather than by the (non-existent) plot. We start with Kris Newz and China Mai getting it on in a U-Haul – but wait; now the tape switches focus to those two guys (Duke and Jeff Scott) who stopped to help China earlier on the road, as they cruise for babes. Duke gets a nurse (Chelly Supreme) to shave for him, and later, both guys get the same view from a secretary (Monique St. Paris) before d.p.'ing her. Other high points include Jeff's anal penetration of mail lady Rebecca Bardoux in the great outdoors, and yet another d.p. (ending in twin facials) with Jeff, Duke and Golden Jade.
This tape isn't going to win any acting awards, but the sheer variety of locations and most-want-to-see sexual events (shaving, d.p., anal) bring this tape's score way up. There are sexual delights for everybody here, but keep your finger near that fast-forward button for the in-between stuff.

My Mother carried everything in her handbag. I remember her driving me to the airport with a pork chop wrapped up in a napkin that she insisted I put in my handbag so that I would have something to eat on the plane. Unfortunately, she had cooked it to the hardness of petrified wood, so at the airport, I thanked her profusely for the chop, and then threw it in the nearest trashcan as soon as she was well out of sight.

Already we see higher taxes, a stagnant economy, the same inflationary monetary policies, Obamacare looming like a dark cloud over small businesses, yet another demand for debt ceiling increases, continued stonewalling about the tragic Benghazi attacks, a Secretary of Defense nominee who has a history of being antagonistic to our ally Israel, and the attack on our Second Amendment rights by an administration that has no respect for the Constitution or the separation of powers.

But she needn't have bothered; this is so good that the sex could have been mediocre and it would still have scored highly - and the sex is far from mediocre.
Best of show has Kelli Tyler sitting on a box in an abandoned factory, rubbing her clit and apparently dreaming that she's found a sleeping naked guy (Mario Rossi) to whom she administers a b.j., gets licked and fingered, mished and rides him in both directions before he pops on her pussy.

"I love this site. Amazing products at an amazing value. If I had gone to a high-end store, would have paid 4-5 times higher and probably not including such things as the extra throw pillows. Great quality! My first set I ordered a few weeks ago had a test.....the cat threw up on it, lol, (furballs), and so, I pulled the king-sized spread off of the bed and spot cleaned it in the sink...Amazing, cleaned up beautifully, just like a high-quality product should."

Bought this unit 2 years ago for a six week road trip to Alaska. Used it to power a small freezer for ice, frozen meats and food, and to preserve the fish we caught in Ak. Made coffee in drip coffee maker every day and powered microwave and lights in camper. Kept laptop charged plus camera batteries, etc.. Worked great no issues. Now I use it as a mobile power supply in my pickup and as an AC back up if needed. Should have bought one years ago.

Have had one for 10 years that I have used on job sites that had no power. Also used it to charge my cordless tool batteries on the way to jobs. Finally gave out and had to replace it. Got the same thing so that should tell you what I think of it. Would like to think that it would last at least twice as long but what does any more. Good on the job power. Just wish it lasted longer for the price.

Purchase with confidence
By OffGridGuy
I have used this inverter every day for a year and a half to run my home. I have had people visit my home with no idea that I am operating off my Tripp Lite PV3000HF. All my major appliances are gas but, I run a full size washing machine, lights, computer and satellite dish with a 73" TV and surround sound all at the same time. On hot summer days it easily runs my 110v heat pump to cool my home while I enjoy my big screen TV. I find it pretty awesome that this unit runs my drill press and band saw to construct more frames and mounting hardware to build more solar panels from scratch for my off grid system. I had purchased a generic 3000/6000 watt inverter and killed it on day one. The replacement lasted three days. Money wasted. I come home after a 16 hour shift with no doubt that when I turn on a light ... IT COMES ON! I push everything I own to the max and Tripp Lite has held up to the abuse I have thrown at it. I could go on and on but it is late and I have to get up at 4:00 AM to work another 16 hour shift but... I will wake with the confidence that my Tripp Lite will get me up and going long before most of my neighbors have any idea whether or not the local grid has held up to the same expectations.

Police fired tear gas canisters to contain anti-World Cup demonstrators who tried to march to the Brasilia stadium where the tournament's trophy was on public display on Tuesday.
This set of extraordinary images were taken during the protest by more than 1,000 people, which snarled rush-hour traffic in the Brazilian capital adjacent to the Mane Garrincha National Stadium, the most costly stadium built for the 32-nation sports event that begins in 16 days.
Adding to the tension, indigenous people in traditional tribal dress with bows drawn joined the protesters from the Homeless Worker's movement. The group says building stadiums to host the World Cup was too costly, caused real estate prices to soar and forced lower-income families out of their homes.
Brazil is rushing to finish stadiums and urban transport systems in time for the World Cup in a climate of growing civil disobedience by groups of Brazilians who seek to disrupt the event saying its cost was excessive for a developing nation.
The World Cup now serves as a backdrop to push for variety of causes, and bus drivers in Rio de Janeiro said on Tuesday they would start a 24-hour strike at midnight while professors marched down Sao Paulo's main thruway to demand a raise.
Local fans lined up outside the Brasilia stadium to see the FIFA World Cup Trophy, which is touring the 12 cities hosting the games, but the protest march forced authorities to cancel the trophy display and close the stadium.
The Brasilia protest follows a peaceful march led by the same group in Sao Paulo last week. That protest of several thousand held up traffic in South America's business hub and spurred fears that more protests and even violence could disrupt the month-long World Cup when it starts on June 12.
A spokesman for the military police said Tuesday's protest started peacefully and that police were trying to contain the march with tear gas and walls of shield-bearing police. But if the demonstrators reached the stadium, they would have to intervene, the spokesman said.
Brasilia's stadium will cost 1.9 billion reais (£507 million) when the surrounding landscaping is finished after the World Cup, city auditors said in a report published last week, almost three times the price tag first budgeted.
Though they have not previously joined anti-World Cup protests, native people have routinely protested in Brasilia against efforts to change the rules around how reservations boundaries are determined. They invaded Congress while it was in session on several occasions last year.
Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has promised the Homeless Worker's movement that squatters who have gathered around some of the stadiums will receive low-cost government housing. But her government has warned that it will call in troops if necessary to prevent protests disrupting the games. Some 600,000 foreign fans are expected to travel to Brazil for the World Cup.
