A Book Forged in Hellby Steven Nadler
When it appeared in 1670, Baruch Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise was denounced as the most dangerous book ever published--"godless," "full of abominations," "a book forged in hell . . . by the devil himself." Religious and secular authorities saw it as a threat to faith, social and political harmony, and everyday morality, and its author was almost universally regarded as a religious subversive and political radical who sought to spread atheism throughout Europe. Yet Spinoza's book has contributed as much as the Declaration of Independence or Thomas Paine's Common Sense to modern liberal, secular, and democratic thinking. In A Book Forged in Hell, Steven Nadler tells the fascinating story of this extraordinary book: its radical claims and their background in the philosophical, religious, and political tensions of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as the vitriolic reaction these ideas inspired. It is not hard to see why Spinoza's Treatise was so important or so controversial, or why the uproar it caused is one of the most significant events in European intellectual history. In the book, Spinoza became the first to argue that the Bible is not literally the word of God but rather a work of human literature; that true religion has nothing to do with theology, liturgical ceremonies, or sectarian dogma; and that religious authorities should have no role in governing a modern state. He also denied the reality of miracles and divine providence, reinterpreted the nature of prophecy, and made an eloquent plea for toleration and democracy. A vivid story of incendiary ideas and vicious backlash, A Book Forged in Hell will interest anyone who is curious about the origin of some of our most cherished modern beliefs.
The Cambridge Companion to Malebrancheby Steven Nadler
The French philosopher and theologian Nicholas Malebranche was one of the most important thinkers of the early modern period. A bold and unorthodox thinker, he tried to synthesize the new philosophy of Descartes with the religious Platonism of St. Augustine. This is the first collection of essays to address Malebranche's thought comprehensively and systematically. There are chapters devoted to Malebranche's metaphysics, his doctrine of the soul, his epistemology, the celebrated debate with Arnauld, his philosophical method, his occasionalism and theory of causality, his philosophical theology, his account of freedom, his moral philosophy, and his intellectual legacy.
The Philosopher, the Priest, and the Painterby Steven Nadler
In the Louvre museum hangs a portrait of a middle-aged man with long dark hair, a mustache, and heavy-lidded eyes, and he is dressed in the starched white collar and black coat of the typical Dutch burgher. The painting is now the iconic image of René Descartes, the great seventeenth-century French philosopher. And the painter of the work? The Dutch master Frans Hals--or so it was long believed, until the work was downgraded to a copy of an original. But where, then, is the authentic version located, and who painted it? Is the man in the painting--and in its original--really Descartes? A unique combination of philosophy, biography, and art history, The Philosopher, the Priest, and the Painter investigates the remarkable individuals and circumstances behind a small portrait. Through this image--and the intersecting lives of a brilliant philosopher, a Catholic priest, and a gifted painter--Steven Nadler opens up a fascinating portal into Descartes's life and times, skillfully presenting an accessible introduction to Descartes's philosophical and scientific ideas, and an illuminating tour of the volatile political and religious environment of the Dutch Golden Age. As Nadler shows, Descartes's innovative ideas about the world, about human nature and knowledge, and about philosophy itself, stirred great controversy. Philosophical and theological critics vigorously opposed his views, and civil and ecclesiastic authorities condemned his writings. Nevertheless, Descartes's thought came to dominate the philosophical world of the period, and can rightly be called the philosophy of the seventeenth century. Shedding light on a well-known image, The Philosopher, the Priest, and the Painter offers an engaging exploration of a celebrated philosopher's world and work.
Rembrandt's Jewsby Steven Nadler
There is a popular and romantic myth about Rembrandt and the Jewish people. One of history's greatest artists, we are often told, had a special affinity for Judaism. With so many of Rembrandt's works devoted to stories of the Hebrew Bible, and with his apparent penchant for Jewish themes and the sympathetic portrayal of Jewish faces, it is no wonder that the myth has endured for centuries. Rembrandt's Jews puts this myth to the test as it examines both the legend and the reality of Rembrandt's relationship to Jews and Judaism. In his elegantly written and engrossing tour of Jewish Amsterdam--which begins in 1653 as workers are repairing Rembrandt's Portuguese-Jewish neighbor's house and completely disrupting the artist's life and livelihood--Steven Nadler tells us the stories of the artist's portraits of Jewish sitters, of his mundane and often contentious dealings with his neighbors in the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam, and of the tolerant setting that city provided for Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews fleeing persecution in other parts of Europe. As Nadler shows, Rembrandt was only one of a number of prominent seventeenth-century Dutch painters and draftsmen who found inspiration in Jewish subjects. Looking at other artists, such as the landscape painter Jacob van Ruisdael and Emmanuel de Witte, a celebrated painter of architectural interiors, Nadler is able to build a deep and complex account of the remarkable relationship between Dutch and Jewish cultures in the period, evidenced in the dispassionate, even ordinary ways in which Jews and their religion are represented--far from the demonization and grotesque caricatures, the iconography of the outsider, so often found in depictions of Jews during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Through his close look at paintings, etchings, and drawings; in his discussion of intellectual and social life during the Dutch Golden Age; and even through his own travels in pursuit of his subject, Nadler takes the reader through Jewish Amsterdam then and now--a trip that, under ever-threatening Dutch skies, is full of colorful and eccentric personalities, fiery debates, and magnificent art.
Spinozaby Steven Nadler
Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) was one of the most important philosophers of all time; he was also arguably the most radical and controversial. This was the first complete biography of Spinoza in any language and is based on detailed archival research. More than simply recounting the story of Spinoza's life, the book takes the reader right into the heart of Jewish Amsterdam in the seventeenth century and, with Spinoza's exile from Judaism, right into the midst of the tumultuous political, social, intellectual and religious world of the young Dutch Republic. Though the book will be an invaluable resource for philosophers, historians, and scholars of Jewish thought, it has been written for any member of the general reading public with a serious interest in philosophy, Jewish history, seventeenth-century European history, and the culture of the Dutch Golden Age. Spinoza: A Life has recently been awarded the Koret Jewish Book Award.
Spinoza and Medieval Jewish Philosophyby Steven Nadler
Over the last two decades there has been an increasing interest in the influence of medieval Jewish thought upon Spinoza's philosophy. The essays in this volume, by Spinoza specialists and leading scholars in the field of medieval Jewish philosophy, consider the various dimensions of the rich, important, but vastly under-studied relationship between Spinoza and earlier Jewish thinkers. It is the first such collection in any language, and together the essays provide a detailed and extensive analysis of how different elements in Spinoza's metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, and political and religious thought relate to the views of his Jewish philosophical forebears, such as Maimonides, Gersonides, Ibn Ezra, Crescas, and others. The topics addressed include the immortality of the soul, the nature of God, the intellectual love of God, moral luck, the nature of happiness, determinism and free will, the interpretation of Scripture, and the politics of religion.

Additional Information
Sometimes called Long Island duck (an area once filled with duck farms); the Pekin is the most common eating duck in the country. It is not to be confused with Peking duck, which is a Chinese style of cooking duck.
Call it what you will, we like Pekin duck breast because it's so easy to cook. It has a dark pink color and is tender in texture, with a thinner layer of fat than our Moulard duck breast. It's not gamey at all, in that ducky, musky way (which we also love). This makes it the perfect introduction to the pleasures of eating duck.
Pekin duck breast works well not only with Asian flavors, but also French and Italian recipes. Try it pan-seared and paired with your favorite seasonal fruits.
Just the facts
- Humanely-raised Pekin ducks
- Delicately-flavored meat
- Pure vegetarian diet
- No antibiotics, no hormones
- Sold in an uncooked state
- 2 whole duck breasts, 4 single breasts
- Serves 4
- Product of USA
- Use within 3-5 days of receipt
D'Artagnan is dedicated to finding farmers that share our vision of a more humane way of rearing livestock. We look at scale and sustainability; choosing only those farms that respect nature and focus on the best animal welfare practices.
We work with two family-run farms that humanely raise White Pekin ducks, which are also known as Long Island ducks. Though the farming tradition has largely been displaced in that region, our farm is one of the few remaining multi-generation duck farms in Long Island, NY.
The other is in central Pennsylvania farm country, and combines decades of duck-farming knowledge with advanced modern techniques. From egg hatching to processing and packaging, this farm controls every aspect with the strictest standards.
At both farms, the ducks are raised with care and attention to their well-being in large barns with plenty of space, natural light and air. The ducks eat a diet of corn, soybean meal and wheat and drink filtered pH-balanced water. Of course, no hormones or antibiotics are ever used. We think you will be able to taste the quality of their all-natural upbringing in every bite.
Score the fat with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut completely through to the meat. And remember not to overcook the meat—rare or medium-rare is best. Serve it with a bottle of Rhône wine such as Côtes du Rhône or Châteauneuf-du-Pape for a perfect pairing.

Barmageddon: Law students sue over software
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Five law students sued a Florida software company over a computer submission system that malfunctioned while they and thousands of others across the country were taking the bar exam one day in July -- showing that future attorneys may be the last people you want to anger.
With one day of the grueling session behind them, law students taking the bar exam with computers July 29 were surprised to find they couldn't upload their answers using software they purchased from ExamSoft Worldwide Inc.
Five students sued the company, claiming direct harm and damage to their future earnings. They are seeking class action status and looking for other students harmed by the failed test. Two suits were filed in Washington state, two in Illinois and one in California.
"On the long list of things about which exam takers should be worried, wondering whether they will be able to turn in their exams for grading should be at the very bottom," according to one lawsuit.
The company declined to comment on the litigation.

Kill Inveterate Gambler Ping: Macau and "The God of Gamblers"
The files of the God of Gamblers case can be read as a string of accidents, good and bad: Siu's run at the baccarat table; Wong's luck to be assigned an assassin with a conscience; Adelson's misfortune that reporters noticed an obscure murder plot involving his casino. But the tale, viewed another way, depends as little on luck as a casino does. It is, rather, about the fierce collision of self-interests. If Las Vegas is a burlesque of America—the "ethos of our time run amok," as Hal Rothman, the historian, put it—then Macau is a caricature of China's boom, its opportunities and rackets, its erratic sorting of winners and losers.Evan Osnos on a real-life "God of Gamblers" and the rise of Macau, The New Yorker

The official "StreetView" map of China is eerily reminiscent of SimCity, rendered in perfect isometric perspective without a pixel out of place: Shanghai, the Forbidden City, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong.

Historical Traveler Reviews Albergo Cesari Rome
Lovely hotel!
We stayed here in October and could nt have stayed in a nicer place.
The hotel is in the centre of everything (shutters keep out the noise) - all the sights, great shopping on your doorstep and friendly, helpful staff. Cant understand the review of the New Yorker, there is certainly no smell and he must have been staying somewhere else! Eat at Alla Rampa near the Spanish steps its a real gem!
Wonderful hotel
This is a lovely hotel in a superb location in the heart of Rome. It's less than 5 minutes' walk to the Trevi Fountain, or the Pantheon, and about 20 minutes' walk to the Colosseum, Forum, etc. Basically, every great monument or sight is accessible. It's in a quiet street off a bustling one (Via del Corso) and there are plenty of eating places and shops nearby.
The hotel itself is very comfortable, and the double room we had was tastefully decorated, air-conditioned, and peaceful. The staff were extremely helpful. If you need a taxi to the airport, they can arrange that and, at 45E, it wasn't bad value, and much more convenient than a bus (the hotel is a taxi ride from the bus station). Breakfast is continental but large and varied, and the coffee's lovely.
I'd recommend this to anyone, especially if you haven't visited Rome before, as it's a great spot from which to explore.
Great value in Rome!
We stayed at Cesari in June '03 based on previous reviews. Terrific location within walking distance to many attractions in Rome. 150 Euros was also great value. I read the guest from New York's review and have to disagree with most of what they wrote. The staff seemed a little quiet at first, but were extremely helpful, offering to sort out a car rental problem for me. They spent several minutes on the phone with Hertz, hammering out a happy solution to my problems! Nothing but good things to say about the staff.For 150 Euros in central Rome, I didn't expect a gourmet feast at breakfast. In fact, it turned out to be better than typical European hotel fair. Staff made us espressos, produced special treats for the kids, etc... Did the other reviewer think they were staying at the InterContinental? Hotel Cesari exceeded my expectations for 150 Euros a nght.
Um, it was OK
I give it 2.5 stars. My wife and I stayed here based on the four previous raves that you see posted -- and I really have to wonder what these people were smoking when they stayed at the Cesari. Fine -- the location is good, and the price (150 euro for a double) was very low for that location (you'll know why if you stay there). I would equate this hotel to a Holiday Inn motel in the States.Firstly, the guys at the front desk (other than one particular fellow) were basically unfriendly and disinterested (I asked for an envelope to put my bill into after checkin out, and they told me to go up to my room to get one). There is a foul bathroom-like stench throughout the lobby (thankfully it didn't permeate the room). While the lobby and the hallways are semi-modern and tasteful, but when you get to your room (which is a decent size), you feel like you're in a former Soviet republic -- very drab decoration and color, cheap furniture, something I'd expect in Warsaw, Poland. The breakfast buffet was mediocre at best. The hotel is situated in alley off a piazza, so I must say that the room was extremely quiet (and dark w/ the shudders closed). Look, you don't really hang out in your hotel room when you're on vacation in Italy, so stay here if you want... but don't think for a second that this is a "good" hotel. It is not what the previous reviewers describe. We had friends who stayed at the Valadier (a 4-star hotel) by the Pizza di Popolo (equal distance to the Spanish steps) and we were green w/ envy when we visited the hotel. At 180 euro per night, they had beautiful marble bathrooms and gorgeous large rooms (reminded me of a Four Seasons), extremely friendly hotel staff, and a pretty art deco hotel. Stay at the Valadier if you can.
Location, location, location!
We stayed at the Albergo Cesari in May 2002. Since we were four single ladies, we booked a quad with four twin beds! The room was huge, and the bathroom was almost as large. Our window looked out over a quiet side street, and we hardly heard the vespas roaring past. The front of the hotel is on a pedestrian alley, so only foot traffic (and vespas) are allowed. They only serve breakfast, but the buffet was very good and the coffee was excellent. The little cafe right next to the hotel on Via di Pietra serves the best veggie pizza that I have ever eaten--I took a picture of it. You can purchase bus tickets at the little newsstand next to it. My beloved Parthenon is only a few blocks away, and the Piazza Navona only a few more after that. Bus connections from there were excellent, and Bernardo at the front desk was very good at helping us figure out which bus went where. If you stay there (and your group has more than 2 people), ask to be picked up at the airport in their "limo" (mini van). It is fairly priced and certainly reduced our stress level.
If it is location you are looking for....
The Albergo Cesari is perfectly located for visiting Rome. I have stayed there twice and will continue to go back. If you are like me, I walk everywhere when I visit a city. And all the main sites, and even some obscure ones, are within walking distance of the Cesari. Also, great restaurants and gelato are in abundance in the area. Besides, how does it get better than having the Pantheon just around a few corners. You will pay more in this hotel, but the quality is above average, clean, large rooms, shutters (that block out virtually all light) and double paned windows (that block out the street noise) and the staff is friendly and display great knowldge of their city.
Incredible location
We stayed there June 2002. We loved everything about it. The location was excellent. The rooms were large and spotless. The rooms had blackout shutters. The breakfast was great except for the coffee. The concierge recommended restaurants that were perfect.
Wonderful Hotel in Heart of Rome
Fantastic hotel. Great service and large rooms (for Italy); clean and well decorated. Nice breakfast (except don't drink the coffee it tastes awful).
The hotel is located in walking distance to everything: Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Villa Borghese, Coloseum, Vittorio Emmanuale, Spanish Steps, Roman Forum, and Via Condotti. Even the Vatican is only a 25- 30 min walk.
Its next to a beautiful square. My wife and I will definetlely stay there again next time we're in Rome.

Pantie SexChats | Live Webcams
Oh, I am so glad you found us. I welcum you to the world of sexy pantie pics and videos. It is panty videos and pics on the internet, and the topic of discussion is panties. So much pantysex in fact, that the models tend to get sore and satisfied through out the day from playing with their pussies all day. It is not unusual for a girl to be so wet and juicy, from thinking about you watching her. Sweat drips down her body as she begins to insert her fingers, first one, then two, as she penetrates her beautiful wet pussy. Her juices flow down her crack to her ass for some anal play. Sometimes she will be wearing tight panty hose and high heels, perhaps some latex, or vinyl, and sweat beads off her pert nipples, as she rubs her body all on camera, for you to watch, and begin to stroke yourself. She knows you are doing it... Perhaps you like to get a full view of that glistening wet pussy, as she pulls on her lips and beckons you to get closer, teasing you as she plays with her clit, opening her pussy, wide and wet for you to see inside her. She reaches for her toy, licks it to get it moistened, and ready to drive inside her.. I dont know about you, but rarely do I ever get the chance to tell a sexy hot blonde, brunette, asian, black, white, slim, bbw, plumper, small breast, large breast, pink nipple, meaty pussy, trimmed or shaven, hairy, and ready... what to do with herself. So now she plays with herself, and wants you to do the same. You pull it out and become fully erect... She smiles, and opens her pussy in full frame of the camera, and beckons you to fuck her, lick her and make her cum. She flicks her clit and starts to really get into it. You are now unable to stop, so now the two of you begin to masturbate, first slowly, then faster and faster, but then she asks you to cum at the same time with her, so you time it just right, you are about to explode, she warns you - she is close, she is fingering herself and using her dildo so fast that the camera begins to blur, and then you both cum together. She slows down and tilts the camera up to her face and you notice her big smile, as she finished too. You relax for a moment, she does too, and then you part ways, to share the experience later. Because you can do it again! Every time you watch her video....

On October 23, 2012, a new Disney Fairies adventure will be released on DVD. In Secret of the Wings, Tinker Bell ventures into the mysterious Winter Woods and meets the fairy Periwinkle. Together, the fairies discover why their wings sparkle when they are in the Winter Woods.
Kids can make the new character Periwinkle fly with Sky High Periwinkle. This is a simple handheld device with a quick-pull string. It comes with a 6.5-inch Periwinkle doll and a flower base launcher. Place Periwinkle in the flower base. Pull the launch cord and watch Periwinkle fly up to 10 feet high.
Parents may be familiar with this type of toy from the popular Sky Dancers they may have grown up with, and which are very similar to this toy.
Disney Fairies fans, and particularly fans of Secret of the Wings, will like being able to make Periwinkle fly just like in the movie. This is an easy-to-use toy that will inspire all kinds of imaginative fairy play.
Sky High Periwinkle is for Disney Fairies fans ages 4 and up.
Adult supervision is recommended.
Never aim Periwinkle at eyes or faces or launch the toy at people, animals, or unintended objects.
Only fly Sky High Periwinkle in an open area.
Always hold the launcher at arm's length and pointing straight up and away from your face when launching. (It will not work if you hold it out at an angle.) Be careful not to pull the launch cord too fast or too hard.
After launching Sky High Periwinkle, hold onto the launch cord tab and allow it to slowly return to its original position.

I was reading an article in the paper drawing attention to a UK health body's criticism of super market food which the supermarkets claimed was healthy, despite having 'high' levels of sugar. The article mentioned noodles which had ~38g of sugar per ~380g of noodles, which is only 10g of sugar/100g. This didn't seem to be a strong factor to criticise the supermarket food on, as as tangerines (mandarins) have 11g of sugar/100g. Other fruits have even higher proportions of sugar. Clearly I'm not suggesting that fruits are unhealthy because of sugar, or that super market noodles are healthy, but if you are going to criticise a food, picking out one factor in isolation seems pretty stupid to me.
Additionally carb rich sources like rice, pasta and potatoes have high levels of starches (typically around ~20g/100g). Bread can be up to 50g of carbs/100g.
As far as I'm aware starch and sugar are processed by the body in the same way, they are broken down into glucose and fructose and then further processed. Thus, ignoring other factors (such as any vitamins, minerals, fibre etc), eating a slice of white bread is just as healthy as eating a bowl of sugar.
Am I correct about the metabolism of sugar and starches? Or are starches broken down slower, or into different constituent parts?

In a surprise assembly, Heather Anderson, a fourth grade teacher from Juniper Elementary in the Bend-La Pine School District, was named Oregon's 2016 Teacher of the Year. Oregon Deputy Superintendent Salam Noor was joined by Bend-La Pine Superintendent Shay Mikalson in honoring Heather for her leadership, high expectations, and commitment to Oregon's students.
Every year, each of the 50 states names a teacher of the year. The Oregon Teacher of the Year Program started in 1955 when elementary school teacher Margaret (Perry) Teufel of Monmouth Elementary School won the honor. Candidates for Oregon Teacher of the Year should be exceptionally dedicated, knowledgeable, and skilled educators in grades preK-12 (administrative responsibilities should be of secondary consideration). The candidate should be planning to continue in an active teaching status.
In addition, candidates for Oregon Teacher of the Year should:
The Oregon Teacher of the Year Program recognizes and honors teacher excellence, with the Teacher of the Year serving as the face and voice of exemplary educators across the state. As a representative of the profession, this teacher leader is asked to engage and inspire other teachers and community leaders. Among other activities of their choice, they present at workshops; speak at education conferences and meetings; address student, civic, higher education, and governmental groups; participate in professional development at local, state, and national levels; and operate special programs in accordance with their interests and expertise. Publicly recognizing outstanding teachers encourages students to think about teaching as a career, and provides the community a sense of pride and investment in their teachers who are making a positive impact on student's lives every day.
Thanks to the Oregon Department of Education's partnership with the Oregon Lottery, the Oregon Teacher of the Year receives a gift award of $5,000 as well as a special fund to cover all travel costs for the year. In addition, a matching monetary gift ($5,000) goes to the Teacher of the Year's school. The winner also receives a technology package award from SMART Technologies as well as other gifts and recognition from the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), founder of the National Teacher of the Year Program. Finally, the first and second runners up receive a $2,000 cash award as a part of the Oregon Department of Education's partnership with the Oregon Lottery.

When we think about growing up, I imagine that we all tell ourselves that it's about getting a job, starting a family, and becoming the people that we are today. I look at myself and thing about growing up and to me, I was thrusted forward too young and too fast. Most people at the age of 19 are thinking about what they are actually going to major in college, what they really want to do the rest of their life. I unfortunately did not have that luxury at that age, at 19 I was deployed to Iraq for my first deployment overseas. Instead of thinking about what most 19 year olds do, I was handed an M-16, body armor, basic ammo load, and trained to fight an enemy similar to the one we fought in Vietnam. I had to think about if that dead animal on the road is a bomb or a decoy, if that car gets any closer will it blow up on me, and is this ally a good spot for the enemy to ambush us, just to name a few. I look back on the time I spent in Iraq and now in Afghanistan and I think about myself and at how much older I think, act, and look. Feel like I am 40 but yet I am only at a youthful 25 years old. I don't regret the time that I have been in the army. I just regret that I truly didn't get to live a normal young adult life. I have been shot at by small arms fire and rpg's, blown up by cars, carried brothers onto planes wishing u could of done something to prevent there early deaths, and have seen death way too many times. I am tired of cheating death and seeing death that I just want to live in peace for the rest of my life. I don't want to carry anymore of my brothers to beds that they will not get up again. And now here I am looking back on my young adult life and I am kind of glad that I have experienced the things I have, but in a way I wish I could go back and actually live a young adult life and grow up naturally instead of thrown into it full steam ahead like so many of my brothers in arms.

COLUMBIA GOP House Speaker Bobby of Charleston was re-elected to his leadership post today.
Harrell, who faced no opposition, was first elected leader of the state House in 2005.
Harrell told reporters that to date, no ethics complaint has been filed against him. He said it was the last time he would address the filing of a complaint.
Harrell is expected to eventually face a complaint in the legislative session that begins in January related to his self-reimbursement practices.
Harrells re-election today is part of the Houses biennial reorganization session that follows each election of new House members.

text: There are few things that give me greater joy than having an awesome EP by an artist I have never heard of pop up in my email account. I enjoy scouring the inter webs on soundcloud and different blogs, but deep down I'm truthfully a lazy self-interested son of a bitch so having it fall into my hands is the greatest. Snacs recently sent over his new Whenever. EP and I have been impressed ever since I first hit the play button. Snacs has that type of style that makes you feel like he must have slaved hours and hours to get each specific noise and tone to fit into the whole context of a track just how it should. Throughout the EP, his percussion snaps perfectly while always staying interesting, his layers and layers of synths create near perfect atmospheres, and he even flips that one Alicia Keys song that everyone knows into an awesome track. Stream two of my favorite tracks below, download below that, and stream the whole EP or buy off of bandcamp to support good music after the jump.

Comments about Volcom L GORE-TEX® Pants:
i got these right before a trip to CO as refresh to a previous 10-yr old pair of Burton pants (ak equivalent). i was very happy with them, experienced varied weather - mid-30 blue bird days to overcast snowing with high wind gust days on lifts to the mountain summit - and handled both well. definitely no leakage what so ever, no overheating, and they're not insulated but rode with just a medium base layer and was good. definitely would recommend.

If you want to know why I keep going to tube8 then I know that this picture with this busty mom is going to show you why. One of the things that I like about this babe are without a doubt her big natural boobs and the way she keeps that nasty smile on her face as it's covered in cum. You can see how much she loves having cum on her face. The best things about her is that sometimes she calls on her neighbors to give her a cumshot, that's how nasty she is. I often ask myself, where does she live?
If you want to watch a very kinky couple having hot sex in front of the webcam, then you should give a chance to this two horny lovers, who are ready to get it on with you in a really nice and hardcore virtual threesome. The blonde teen which is on top of her hung boyfriend is kissing him very passionately and her is getting very hard as she shoves her tongue down her throat in the same time he will get his cock down hers when she will kneel in front of him for a kinky blow job session. If you want to watch some live couples sex with the blonde in this picture and her hung boyfriend, you should ask them for a private session. They are going to have their show right on that couch but she will lose all of her clothes or if you want, she could put on some really kinky lingerie or a hot outfit. After you will have some hardcore fun with this couple, you will want more and more free live camsex and you are going to spend a lot of time with these two.
Best teen blowjob and facial cumshot
I don't know about you guys but whenever I have a teen girl in between my legs ready and waiting to blow me, it gets me very excited. I can't think of anything more boner inducing than having an innocent face, facing my dick with her mouth wet and open that's starting to suck my dick and me filming it for my own porn collection. If you guys think the same as I do, then you most certainly have to check out this video because I'm sure your dick will get hard from the moment you will see that cute face. This teen girl has been sucking cocks for quite some time and i'm sure you'll agree with me when you'll see how she performs with that stiff cock. Damn… even her tiny little mouth is giving this cock a real tight squeeze and if you ask me, I really don't know how can this guy resist so much without jizzing all over her face much sooner. Don't worry because she will get a facial cumshot as soon as she's proven herself to him. Her mouth is the perfect tool to satisfy a man and his cock. Don't tell me you would refuse a blowjob from someone as innocent as this teen girl.
Busty asian mom loves facials
I don't know if you noticed on porntube but there seems to be an epidemic there. For quite some time I've noticed that all the hot MILF's are getting fucked by huge cocks and that they all love having cumshots after they're fucked. You can see it on this busty mom's face from the way she keeps that nasty smile on her face that she begs for cumshots every single day and doesn't want to live without them. One thing's for sure, and that is that it isn't that hard to find a mom like her that also loves cumshots.
Let me introduce you to some of the hottest couples sexchat models that have driven me crazy from the moment I've met them for the first time. Besides the fact that these couples have the hottest girls that are looking for sex, these two also love having anal sex. I've met them for the first time on http://www.4cams.eu/ and ever since them all I can imagine in my mind is having this girls ass turned around to me and I'm banging it. It's the perfect ass that should be fucked doggy style and she knows it. However, she also told me that she loves it from behind and never gets tired of it. From the first moment she was told to turn around to have sex like that and feel his dick getting pushed deep inside of her, she knew that she will never get tired of it. Even last night when I went for another private cam to cam sex show I told these two to fuck her from behind so that I may hear her scream and moan of pleasure… it was such a boner inducing sight.

Charter Industry Seeks New Audit Standard
Business Jet Traveler » October 2007
Monday, October 1, 2007 - 5:00am
The Air Charter Safety Foundation is working to develop an industry-wide audit standard by the end of this year. Such a standard would free charter operators from the need to undergo audits by each of several competing companies. Auditors from CharterX/Wyvern and ARG/US, the industry leaders, have been invited to participate in the project, and representatives from such private-jet companies as Flight Options, NetJets and Sentient have already signed on. Participating companies have committed to adhering to the standards once they are published.

Quote:Globe, I see two problems with that:1. Depending on how it's carried (E.g.: In a ring holder on a duty belt), deploying the baton isn't any quicker than a holstered pistol. And that by itself will not help most folks.2. If he's close enough for you to strike him with the baton, you're at best almost in range for his knife, at worst already cut or stabbed.The point I was trying to make was that just depending on deploying a weapon, any weapon, in time when attacked by a person already wielding a knife from 21 ft. or less won't work for most people, including even most of those well trained in it's use. Moving away to create more distance, moving at an angle from the attacker's line of advance, a parry... Something else in addition to just going for a weapon will be necessary to succesfully stop the attack.
Quote:what are your feelings about gas? just curious? I think that the speed in which you can deploy a spray is pretty good - but the stopping power is small. you can get a guy to loose focus, but can't get him to stop altogether. difficult problem.

House bill would fine tune state's gaming laws
Published: 01/04/2012
COLUMBUS — The legislative ball is rolling on a new bill to make changes to Ohio law regarding casino gaming, the state lottery and horse racing.
The measure, House Bill 386, would remove the requirement that the Ohio Controlling Board has to approve the fees each applicant pays for a lottery sales agent license or for administering and processing changes to an application and renewals.
The proposal would also revise the length of time a lottery sales agent license or renewal is effective to at least one year but no more than three years.

WWYD: Head Lice
'08 -- ^i^ '10 -- '12 -- '13
Boil all her brushes
Use that lice shampoo. Tell your friend you can't see her till her kids are lice free. Tough love
Lovin' on my sacred baby joy
This will be quite annoying but put gel in your daughter's hair every day and french braid it. You need to coat your daughter's hair completely with a thick layer. This will help keep her from getting them at least.
I have no suggestions for the mom, as it seems that you've already tried talking to her to no avail.

If I saw you at Walmart I would assume you hopped off the pole and stopped by for bread- JohnDeereGreen
I also recommend using a lice deterrent shampoo. The one my kids started using when ODS began preschool is pretty natural and uses essential oils rather than chemicals to deter.
Good luck!
A year of fucking head lice is nuts. I'd straight up tell her that she needs to treat the family and you'll help but if not, you should seriously consider a cps call. Cps won't take the children but they may be able to light a fire under her ass. Lice for a year is serious neglect.

**If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens inbetween can be dealt with. -michael jackson**
I wouldn't ignore head lice for a year but I also wouldn't end my child's friendship over her friends mother shampooing my kids hair. Actually once I did get treated for head lice at a friends. We were pre teens and she had three younger siblings. Her mom saw head lice on one of the little girls. So her mom ran out, bought the shampoo, we all washed our hair, the mom, my friend and me each took a kid, then we checked each others hair. Never saw anything besides on the one girl but still washed all bedding in the house and everyone including the adults got shampooed. I think it seems only appropriate, if you see head lice in your house, you treat everyone who slept there. Heck it would be worse to send someone's kid back home without treating just to infest their own home.
So if she does nothing, invite them over, treat, and if she has an issue just say you saw one on a pillow after they spent the night so the whole house got treated as it would be rude not to. Anyway that's what I would do...fix the issue and apologize later if someone doesn't like it.

Milwaukee music stalwarts join forces on 'Plays Well With Others'
Local electric guitar whiz Greg Koch called in a bunch of favors for the Greg Koch Band's latest album, "Plays Well With Others." Guest contributors range from New Orleans funk musician Jon Cleary to Paul Barrere from acclaimed genre-blending rock band Little Feat to Leonard Cohen's musical director, Roscoe Beck. There's also an appearance from blues guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa, who is so popular he sold out the 2,500-seat Riverside Theater this year.
But the most important friend on Koch's new album is closer to home: John Sieger, frontman for local Americana band Semi-Twang. "Plays Well With Others" marks the first time these two local music heavyweights, who have 24 albums between them, have joined forces. Koch wrote the bulk of the music, while Sieger handled the lyrics and sang on all the tracks except one. "I got possessive," Sieger said, half-jokingly. They talked about the collaboration in advance of their show Friday night at Summerfest. »Read Full Article

Reading the John Updike stories: 'A Trillion Feet of Gas'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In a story called "A Trillion Feet of Gas," John Updike couldn't resist a fart joke in the opening sentence: "Old Man Fraelich, as soon as they entered his room, rose in his pearl-pale suit and intoned flatuently, 'John, let's you and I go downstairs.' " »Read Full Blog Post

First, snuggle up with a good blog post about one of John Updike's stories written by our very own arts and books editor Jim Higgins. This week Higgins takes on a story called "A Trillion Feet of Gas," which, as I understand it is the tale of an akward dinner party in a rich man's home that includes a natural pairing: too much testosterone and at least one fart joke. That might be an over simplification. Jim posts his weekly missives at 8 a.m. at the Recommended Reading blog. »Read Full Blog Post
