Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
The same goes for your company and your competitors' companies. While you may serve similar customer needs, there can be vast differences in brand attributes. Take Ryanair and Emirates. Ryanair is Europe's "ultra low cost carrier"; it has embraced a "no-frills, low-cost, get-you-from-A-to-B model" that makes air travel "accessible to the masses." The airline guarantees that it has the lowest fares on flights to all of its destinations. Emirates, on the other hand, is one of the most luxurious travel brands on the planet. From its sparkling fleet of new planes, to high-quality cuisine, the latest in cabin design, and a wide range of entertainment options, Emirates strives to make the "Emirates experience" world class in every class.
The takeaway here is that you can't be all things to all people, but once you know what you can do better than your competitors, you can polish your brand in ways that appeal to the type of employees you want to hire, customers you want to serve, and partners/investors you want to attract.

Jolly Holiday Lights needs help after storm
UPDATED 10:35 AM CST Dec 23, 2012
Jolly Holiday Lights is asking for your help to get back on track after the Blizzard of 2012.
Organizers said closing down two nights because of the storm caused more financial damage to the event than a vandals attack a couple weeks ago.
"We could really use some help in getting the word out to help get people to drive through JHL this weekend," organizers said.
The last weekend before Christmas is typically a busy time for the event.
Organizers said they hope the roads and weather won't keep people away.

I've tried searching on this topic but I'm still confused. I have a 95' Tahoe (TBI 350) with a dead alternator. I want to upgrade to a 140 (cs144) alternator but I'm not sure if it will bolt in or if the plugs will match. Thanks for the help guys.

if you have the 140 amp alternator (the one with the external fan) already it's a direct bolt on. If you have the 105 amp then you need to buy a new plug from an autopart store and replace your old one with it or you can get an adapter such as a adapter like the D1W1206 without any cutting of the wiring. Or you can have your alternator rebuilt to an 200 amp at an local alternator shop.
Actually, since his truck is a 95 with the C-130, the plug is the same. YOu only have to change the plug if you have a C-130D, which is what 96-up have.Originally Posted by Tahoe 400
The CS144 should bolt up to my truck (95'), right?

NEW MARKET, Alabama -- The Madison County Commission will give away 2,000 pounds of free catfish on May 11, but there is one catch.
Actually, you can catch more than one, but you must be between the ages of 5 and 15 to participate in the 31st annual Madison County Commission Fishing Rodeo at Sharon Johnston Park on May 11.
The county stocked the park's lake with one ton of live catfish Monday to give young anglers better odds at reeling in a prize. The event generally attracts 800 to 1,000 participants.
"Take just a couple of hours May 11 and spend a little time in the outdoors with your children or grandchildren. This year's rodeo is something you don't want to miss," said Madison County District 3 Commissioner Eddie Sisk, chairman of the event.
Participants must bring their own rod and reel or fishing pole. You can use free live bait provided by the county or use your own. No artificial lures or boats will be allowed.
There are two fishing periods set up for different ages. Children age 5 to 10 will fish from 8:30 to 10 a.m., and youths 11 to 15 will fish from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Participants should arrive at least 30 minutes before fishing time to register.
The top two boys and girls from each age division with the biggest fish will win a special prize. There will be goody bags with basic fishing tackle for everyone and random giveaways of poles, tackle boxes and lures.
For more information, contact Sisk at the District 3 shop at 256-723-4247 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sharon Johnston Park is located off Coleman Road in Northeast Madison County. Take I-565/72 East to Moores Mill Road; then north on Moores Mill to Winchester Road; go east on Winchester 10 miles; then turn north onto Coleman Road; take third park gate on the left to access the lake.

Q. I have read your past columns about gutter guards. You seem to have tested many, but are still not satisfied. I have the same problems you have with year-round debris from my trees, and spring is the worst time. What is the best gutter cover? The mesh-type gutter guard seems like it has the most promise. Do you agree?
A. Millions of homeowners suffer like you and me. Gutter cleaning is both a hassle and a serious safety issue. In fact, I know of a person who died falling from a ladder while cleaning gutters. Why risk injury when some product can be installed that would eliminate the need to get up and clean gutters?
As you pointed out, for years I have been testing many different gutter guards. Some have done well, others not so well, and quite a few have failed miserably. The common problem is that small debris, such as tree blossoms, seedpods, pine needles, twigs and pieces of bark, chokes the guards. Even if the gutter covers don't get clogged, debris often gets carried into the gutter, where it turns into layer after layer of organic muck.
Over the years I have waged e-mail, postal and telephone battles with inventors of gutter protection products. They bristle when I point out how many gutter guard manufacturers make false "no maintenance" claims. In other words, many companies claim that once their product is installed, a homeowner will never have to clean the gutters, get up on their roofs, or other such nonsense. Such claims are 100 percent false in my opinion, and I have nearly 10 years of testing gutter guards to prove it. I often get letters and e-mails from gutter cleaning companies that further substantiate my claims.
The bottom line is that, no matter what gutter guard you install, you will have to maintain it. The hardest part of the job is keeping organic muck out of the gutter. This means you either have to completely stop the small organic debris from getting into the gutter or you must install a gutter protection product that allows you easy access to the inside of the gutter.
For years I was a fan of an inexpensive plastic gutter guard that had small diamond knockout holes in it. This design was not bad, but it did allow some debris to enter the gutter. One other issue was the fact that it allowed maple-tree seedpods to get stuck in the holes. The seed would drop through the guard, but the wing stuck straight up in the air. It was a nightmare cleaning thousands of these out of the gutter guard.
Still, the holes did allow me to spray water into the gutter to get rid of the muck. Keep in mind, however, this had to be done standing on the roof or on a ladder. There are tools that spray water into gutters from the ground, but you do so blind, not knowing if the gutter is really clean.
Then I tested the large plastic-mesh gutter guards. These were easy to remove, but they required too much work to remove, flush the gutter and then reinstall. Once again, I was on the roof or a ladder doing this maintenance.
I had just about given up hope when last year a company contacted me saying they had the solution. (If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that line, I could take my family out to a very nice dinner.) Once I looked at the sample they sent, I could tell their product was unique. It is made from one-eighth-inch-thick extruded aluminum that has a stainless-steel micromesh screen on top of it. The gutter guard is practically indestructible.
What I like most about this newer gutter guard is that absolutely no organic debris can get into the gutter, as the micromesh has openings that are smaller than the tip of a needle. Even though the openings are so small, the mesh easily permits large amounts of water to flow through it into the gutter.
I installed this gutter guard just after all the leaves had fallen last autumn. I got up on my roof and washed out the gutter of all debris with a garden hose. After nine months, I am proud to say my gutter is still perfectly clean. The gutter guard is doing a fantastic job. The best part is that the manufacturer actually tells the truth. They tell homeowners that periodically they will have to clean dried organic debris from the top of the gutter guard. A scrub brush on the end of an extendable fiberglass or aluminum pole allows you to do this from the ground without having to get on a ladder.
This new gutter guard is usually installed by a professional dealer. The guard slides up under the first row of shingles and the front edge is screwed to the front lip of the gutter. It is invisible from the ground.
I took monthly photographs of the organic debris that started to pile up on the gutter cover. In many areas, the debris got worse and worse. But every now and then a strong wind would blow a small amount of it off the gutter cover. My best estimate is that 80 percent of the debris that has dropped onto the roof and gutter guard since it was installed is still there. But even with this debris on the cover, rain water flows under it, through the mesh and into the gutter. For testing purposes I did not brush off the debris from the ground, although I could have at any time.

Ah, the AP preseason poll.
The list of the Top 25 teams that drive college football fans mad will be released this Saturday. Polls are always sure to spark a range of emotions among fans. Some think a certain team is overrated, while others think the media has bumped its head and isn't paying enough attention to said team.
Polls are one of the many things that make college football so great.
How will the AP preseason poll look this season?
Who knows, but it's a certainty that the top team has won the last two national championships.
Note: Rankings were put together by a combination of the talent that each team returns and where they were ranked in the USA Today Coaches Poll. While both polls have a history of being completely different, many teams should be ranked in the same ballpark.

On March 19, there occurred in a Chardon courtroom a scene so outrageous that it left us all stunned.
You'll recall that 18-year-old T.J. Lane, who previously had pleaded guilty to killing three fellow students and wounding three others in the Chardon High School cafeteria last year, delivered himself of a brief, mocking, obscene valedictory, complete with raised middle finger, directed at the loved ones of his victims. Geauga County Common Pleas Judge David Fuhry listened to the outburst, then assigned him to prison for the rest of his life to consider his deeds and those words.
When word of Lane's performance arrived in The Plain Dealer newsroom, editors had some decisions to make:
Would the photo of Lane with the word "KILLER" written on his T-shirt be on Page One?
How would they handle his quote? Paraphrase? Use all the words he used? Use just a bracketed "expletive" for the obscenity, or the first letter followed by dashes?
What to do with the video of his statement on Cleveland.com? Run it unaltered, or bleep out the offensive words?
The answer to the first question was obviously yes.
"This was totally unexpected," said Managing Editor Thom Fladung. "Based on his previous court appearance, it took everyone by surprise. So we decided fairly early on that we wanted to give it to our readers in as straightforward and pure a fashion as possible."
I said that making the call on the front-page photo was obvious, and it was. This was a huge local story. It would have been failing the readers to do anything else.
At the same time, any editor who has covered a story like this knows that many readers object to letting a criminal dominate Page One. With that in mind, the Page One design that day featured photos of the three victims above the photo of Lane. That didn't satisfy everyone, but more on that later.
Lane's quote was handled unblinkingly in the paper: "The hand that pulled the trigger that killed your sons now masturbates to the memory. F--- all of you."
"We don't do that a lot," said Fladung of the decision on how to indicate the F-word (usually the paper writes "expletive" or paraphrases). "People say it a lot, but we hardly ever use it that way. Again, it was the gravity of the situation that caused us to do it."
In the online video, however, the entire quote was there, obscenity and all.
"We put a warning on it, so that people could decide whether to click on it or not," said Fladung. "In the paper, I can't warn you it's coming, I can't tell you to click on the front page before you see what he's going to say. So in deference to that, we handled it differently."
After the paper was published, there were varying reactions.
As always, some readers objected strenuously to the coverage, using the shopworn "glorify" argument.
So often when the newspaper covers a story about some monstrous crime, we hear from readers who bitterly lament the publicity the paper gave the criminal. Many of them posted online comments, wrote to me or filled up March 22's letters column to make the point that by "glorifying" Lane, the paper "gave him what he wanted."
I'm not sure how anyone could conclude that the coverage glorified Lane. I think it merely showed him for what he is.
As for the second point: "I don't know his motivation and neither does anyone else," said Fladung. "But I know what he did, and when it happens in open court I think it's our responsibility to show it. I'm not in the business of interpreting people's motivations."
Fladung had an interesting response for people who think stories like this should not be covered in a major way.
"We in society are in charge of who gets put in prison and for how long," he said. "It's our responsibility. So I think seeing information like what we had in the paper and online helps people decide what should be done, and whether the people who represent us are doing what we want them to do."
Newspaper readership and online numbers do not always compute the same way, but here's one statistic worth considering: The video of Lane's comments drew some 162,000 views -- more than twice as many as any other video ever posted on Cleveland.com.
Why are we here, if not to let people know what is going on and to provide them with the news they need and want to see?

Five members of the Harrisburg Boxing Club are scheduled to be in action Friday night when the Central Region portion of the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves tournament resumes at the Country Hearth Inn & Suites in downtown Lancaster.
First bell is 7 p.m.
Slated to fight for Central Region championships are Efrain Carrera-Lopez (1-4) and Nelson Ortiz (2-3). While both boxers compete in the 106-pound weight division, Carrera-Lopez is vying for a cadet class (ages 13-14) title and Ortiz is chasing an intermediate class (ages 15-16) belt.
Also scheduled to compete in the novice class (10 bouts or fewer) semifinals are 152-pounder Andrew Dabrowski (1-2), 152-pounder Jared Meckley (1-1) and 165-pounder Dior Giles (1-6). Dabrowski won his first fight last weekend, outpointing Reading's Dwayne Anderson.
Two fighters from the Capital Boxing Club on Derry Street operated by Jose Martinez also are scheduled to box Friday night. Making his amateur debut in the intermediate class will be 114-pounder Erick Fuentes, while 125-pounder Bryant Taylor (2-0) is part of the novice field.
With the proceeds ticketed for charity, an amateur card featuring boxers from Harrisburg, Reading, York, Lancaster and Allentown will be held on May 6 at the Colonial Golf & Tennis Club on Linglestown Road.
Tickets for the event — $25 for ringside seats and $20 for general admission — will go on sale Monday and can be purchased by calling (717) 657-3212.
Proceeds from the event, which will be emceed by Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission executive director Greg Sirb, will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

If I discover one of my cats has my bite guard, I am definitely going to have me a new hat come winter.
I tried a drugstore variety bite guard. It didn't fit well at all. I just have to continue to clean and de-clutter and hope it turns up. One good thing this is going is forcing me to really focus on ways of getting my shoulders, head and neck to relax.
I have discovered a Feldenkrais lesson designed to make breathing easier. It helps to relax chest and neck and head.
Acupressure is helpful as well.
For about a month, I have been following Dr. Ellie Phillips' program for strengthening and remineralizing teeth. She says that strong teeth are more resistant to the effects of clenching, so I'm hoping that will help me as well.

KENTWOOD, MI -- A man police describe as a "serial window peeper" was arrested after allegedly being caught looking into windows at a Kentwood area apartment complex.
Clanford Anthony Howard, 43, was arrested Tuesday, July 2 and arraigned today in Kentwood District Court on two counts of window peeping.
Kentwood police began looking at Howard as a possible window-peeping suspect after receiving several complaints from residents in the area of Burton Street SE near Paris Avenue and also near Patterson Avenue.
Police said the complaints came from residents of both apartments and houses.
Officers set up a surveillance operation and found the suspect "prowling" in one apartment complex and allegedly window peeping in another. He was stopped and arrested.
Court records show Howard is on probation for a July 2012 stalking conviction in Grand Rapids and has a pending charge of window peeping, also in Grand Rapids, that was filed in March.
He also was charged with window peeping in October 2011 in Grand Rapids, but proscutors ended up dropping that case.
In 2010, he was charged with prowling in Grand Rapids, but acquitted by a jury.
During today's arraignment, Kentwood District Court Judge William Kelly set a $5,000 bond.
Anyone with other information about Howard is asked to call police at 656-6600.

Slocum's feat was equaled by the book he wrote about it, Sailing Alone Around the World, a little-known classic. I read it and loved it 30 years ago, and so it was a joy to read Geoffrey Wolff's The Hard Way Around, a lyrical, tough, funny examination of the captain, his craft, and the world he sailed. "A genius at navigation … he was frequently lost on land," Wolff writes. A harsher critic called him "60 percent fine seaman, 10 percent liar, and 30 percent showman."
Disappointed by life ashore, Slocum boarded the Spray and left Martha's Vineyard and his family on November 14, 1908, at the age of 64, intending to explore the Orinoco River in South America–alone, of course. He was never seen again. The mystery surrounding his end typified his life: His son Garfield once wrote that his father "was a mystery to me and will be to my dying day."
Slocum's circumnavigation began just four years after the death of Herman Melville, another sailor who was frequently disappointed on land. He wrote Moby-Dick, the towering, baffling novel that begins with the most famous three words in American literature: "Call me Ishmael." Hailed as a masterpiece now, it was a commercial disaster in 1851. Jay Parini attempts to unravel the man and the writer in his novel Passages of H. M. "He was opinionated, willful, and oblique, with a stormy intelligence," Melville's wife once said of him. "This proved an affliction more than a gift, as he often saw around corners that did not exist."
Nevertheless, Melville produced a novel that continues to puzzle and attract us. Chasing the White Whale, by David Dowling, explores with erudition and wit the phenomenon of marathon Moby-Dick readings, such as the 25-hour epic held every January at the Whaling Museum in New Bedford, Massachusetts. That's where Ishmael meets his cannibal friend, Queequeg, and their journey begins. "Such is the situation with the reading as well," Dowling observes, "for it is a commitment, a leap onto a ship that will drift away from one's prior life: This reading will take us on a familiar voyage, but we will experience its course anew."

My dog is very picky. I gave him the bone. he took and played with it for a few min but did not eat the bone. Gave it to a friend and her dog loved it.
I couldn't get this bone away from my dog once he started on it. He tried to hide it in my plants to keep it away from me but he truly enjoyed it.....good choice for any dog.
Dogs seemed to like them, a Yorkie, a Sheep dog and a minature schanauzer.
My pet loves the Terrabone, i just ordered for more bones, i will buy again
My Yorkie loves these. We have tried other bones but after a year of trying other things, my vet recommended a dental cleaning. I went back to these Terrabones and the vet committed who good a care we had been taking of his teeth. They seem so expensive BUT they are cheaper than a dental cleaning and not near as painful!

The Prince of Wales's art dealer is among dozens of gallery owners who are facing ejection from the heart of Mayfair after its invasion by international fashion houses.
Anna Hunter, who sells the Prince's signed lithographs from her Belgravia Gallery, said that rents had tripled and were now unsustainable.
Many other dealers in the "golden mile" of streets around Bond Street, which for more than a century has been home to hundreds of London's top-class galleries, have closed or moved to first-floor premises.
Independent dealers blame wealthy fashion conglomerates such as Gucci or Prada, who they say think nothing of

Special to the Banner
BENNINGTON -- Dozens of professionals from various fields gathered at Bennington College Thursday for the Ninth Annual Sophomore Career Summit to inspire high school sophomores and open their minds to the future opportunities that await them.
More than 250 sophomores from Mount Anthony Union and Arlington Memorial High Schools attended four workshops -- from a list of about 18 -- on careers of interest to them. Workshops ranged from law and government to computer science and the arts, featuring 55 panelists who spoke with students about the paths they took to get into their careers and answered questions students had.
The final portion of the day, a new addition to this year's summit, was a group presentation by members of the Vermont National Guard, an admissions counselor for Community College of Vermont, and a member of the Vermont Department of Labor.
"A good work ethic transfers to every aspect of life," said Wendy Morse, career development facilitator for the Labor Department, "whether that be in a National Guard setting or to the classroom or to the workforce, a solid work ethic is one of the most valuable things in an employee."
A common theme among all of the presenters was the importance of education.
"One of the biggest things that get people fired is a lack of education and not knowing the proper way to behave in a workplace setting," Morse said.
More than 250 students participated in the event, and organizers said they believe the students took a lot away from it.
"I think we connected with the students very well," said Janet Groom, an admissions counselor at CCV, whose presentations focused on the importance of education in finding a job. "They [the students] seemed very engaged in our presentations and they asked questions after we were done with what we had to say."

The St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission on Tuesday night
(March 5) will consider creating a definition for the term "assisted living facility," an item being closely watched by those on both sides of a controversy over an Archdiocese of New Orleans project near Mandeville. The archdiocese wants to build a church, cemetery, nursing home, assisted living facility and apartments for seniors on 112 acres of land that it owns south of Dove Park Road north of Mandeville.
Many residents in the area have objected to the independent-living apartment aspect of the plan, arguing that it's too dense and is not allowed under the property's MD-1 (Medical Residential District) zoning. MD-1 allows nursing homes and assisted living facilities, but does not list independent-living apartments or multi-family dwellings among the permitted uses.
Parish Planning Director Sidney Fontenot said the administration decided that a definition of assisted living facilities is needed to clear up any ambiguity. He noted that some assisted living facilities with independent-living components already exist in the parish under MD-1 zoning.
The Zoning Commission will consider two definitions for assisted-living facility:
* Assisted living facilities as licensed by the state.
* State-licensed assisted living facilities that include an unlicensed independent-living component for seniors.
There is currently no definition of assisted living facility in the parish's development code.
Opponents of the independent-living units - 29 villas and another 160 units in a three-story building - have said they do not object to the archdiocese's other plans, including a new church that would be the home of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church parish. Parishioners have been holding Masses in a former pet store along nearby U.S. 190 since 2006 and are eager for the new church to be built.
The commission meets at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at the parish government complex at 21490 Koop Drive, off Louisiana 59 north of Mandeville.

How will players enjoy it when we know of Kerrigan's rescue? This one thought detracted from the video. The light effects, and splash effects, I couldn't enjoy it until my second viewing.

SAGINAW, MI — At its first meeting since the Nov. 5 election, Saginaw City Council on Tuesday, Nov. 12, chose its officers for the next three years.
In a tight 4-3 vote, City Council opened the meeting by selecting former mayor pro tem Dennis Browning as Saginaw's new mayor.
The mayor's role, to act as the official representative of the city, is something Browning said he will take seriously. Under Saginaw's city charter, the mayor holds no more legislative power than any other member of the City Council.
"I represent the council and the city of Saginaw," Browning said. "I've very proud to be that representative and to set the direction for the City Council."
After Browning took the oath of office, another close vote of 5-4 resulted in the election of Councilman Amos O'Neal as the mayor pro tem, meaning O'Neal will be charged with acting as mayor in Browning's absence.
O'Neal said he is prepared to, for the second time in his City Council career, serve as mayor pro tem, though he did not expect the nomination.
"I was not seeking that," he said.
Browning was nominated for mayor by Councilman Daniel Fitzpatrick. O'Neal nominated Norman Braddock for the mayoral seat.
Voting for Browning: Annie Boensch, Larry Coulouris, Daniel Fitzpatrick and Floyd Kloc
Voting for Braddock: Michael Balls, Brenda Moore and Amos O'Neal
Members are prohibited for voting for themselves for the position of mayor, according to City Clerk Janet Santos, though there is no such ban in voting for the mayor pro tem position.
Up for mayor pro tem were O'Neal, nominated by Braddock, and Larry Coulouris, nominated by Fitzpatrick. The voting split was nearly identical in the mayor pro tem election, with the addition of Braddock and Browning's votes.
Voting for O'Neal: Michael Balls, Brenda Moore, Amos O'Neal, Norman Braddock and Dennis Browning
Voting for Coulouris: Annie Boensch, Larry Coulouris, Daniel Fitzpatrick and Floyd Kloc
Browning said it was a "tough decision" in deciding which of the two mayor pro tem candidates to support, touting the integrity and qualifications of both Coulouris and O'Neal.
"I voted for Amos because I think he is the right person at the right time right now," he said. "And I want a representation of the entire community on City Council."
O'Neal said he was happy to receive the new mayor's support.
"A vote from the mayor, I think that says a lot about him," he said.
O'Neal said, as a city leader, he hopes to speak with a voice of unity, collaboration and teamwork.
"All that will add fuel to the energy that is business development in the city," he said.
Pointing to the recently-completed charrette planning process, O'Neal said he has high hopes for Saginaw in the future.
"I think that has brought some new energy into the city," he said.
In a similar vein, Browning said the direction he hopes to guide City Council in the years to come will be toward economic development. He pointed to shrinking state and federal revenue sharing, Saginaw's two tax caps and rising expenses as a constant challenge.
Bringing new investment into Saginaw can help the city break the cycle, Browning said.
"It's the only place I can see new revenue coming in," he said. "Once we get that started, I think it's going to be great."
Tuesday's meeting was also the first meeting for two new members of Saginaw City Council.
Michael Balls and Brenda Moore, elected in their first run for political office on Nov. 5, took the oath of office along returning councilmen Browning and Coulouris.
All four will serve five-year terms, set to expire in November 2018. Though members of Saginaw City Council are typically elected to four-year terms, a decision last month by City Council to change city elections to even-numbered years results in extending the terms one year.
The already-seated members of City Council — Boensch, Browning, Fitzpatrick, O'Neal and Kloc — also received extended terms as a result of the decision. Their terms, originally set to expire in November 2015, will now run through November 2016.
The change also means that Browning and O'Neal will serve as mayor and mayor pro tem for the next three years, despite the fact that the city charter dictates two-year terms for each office.

Jackson & Trevor - SouthernStrokes
Models: Trevor Laster and Jackson Taylor
Studio: Southern Strokes
I've been pushing Trevor to get leathered up for us and do some real fucking so it only made sense that Jackson get in on this RAW action. Trevor's body gets fucking hotter and hotter every time he cums back to the Ranch. Slap a leather harness and jockstrap on him and look the fuck out.
Jackson was exactly what the doctor ordered on this sweltering Texas afternoon. He was up for anything so we wanted to make sure that he didn't leave the Ranch disappointed so we started out with him in my favorite position. On all fours, blindfold on, wrists secure and nothing on but a jock and socks.
Trevor spread Jackson's smooth ass cheeks revealing his hungry hole. Trevor's tongue worked Jackson's hole until neither of them could stand it any more. Jackson got up and slid his spit lubed hole over Trevor's huge unwrapped tool. Jackson quivered as Trevor's naked cock slid inside his waiting tunnel.
Trevor's cock seemed to swell even bigger as Jackson laid on his back and spread his legs wide open for Trevor's bare cock. Trevor finally hit Jackson's spot over and over again as he drilled him deep with his gigantic piece of meat. Once Trevor hit Jackson's spot, Jackson dumped a big load all over his stomach only to be covered by Trevor's juice.

Inside Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth, it isn't rare for residents to live past 100. What's not typical is the impact Ed Christman has had on people. October 25th is Ed's 100th birthday, and dozens of friends and family came out to honor his milestone.
"They tell me it could be my birthday, but I think they're just coming for the food," joked Ed.
Back in 1913 the life expectancy was 53 years, and there were only 47 stars on the American flag. Ed was born and raised in Nazareth. He spent 37 years teaching and coaching a wide range of sports at the high school. It was his way with the athletes that's his lasting legacy.
"I didn't realize it till the later years, but I looked up to him as my mentor as far as teaching me the right and wrong," explained former player Jack Woodward.
Jack was on the 1956 Blue Eagles Varsity football team. It was Ed's first year as head coach, and he led the players to a league championship.
"This was the start if a new era in Nazareth High School football," shared Jack.
A handful of former players came out to celebrate, and let Ed know the way he's made a difference in their lives. Funny, that's what he says about them.
"All these people in here, almost every one of them have helped me to get where I am today, I mean it, I'm serious, they've all helped me."
Ed has three children, six grand kids, nine great-grand kids and one great-great grandchild. And he's definitely had a life well lived so far. But according to Ed, there is no secret to making it to 100.
"How old do I feel? Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel at 100," added Ed.
But he knows he would never have made it alone. And underneath that strict coach exterior, a man who's 100th birthday was definitely a memorable one.

Especially in the light of current theatres of war such as Gaza or east - Ukraine repeatedly appear voices in favour of the retention and expansion of military actions against minorities in order to achieve certain benefits for the aggressor.
To establish desired consensus, it is tried to reach accordance for the warmongers on the widest possible basis.
In order to attain this approval, the facts must be hidden, bent or turned upside down, scattered rumors and always presented the masses new lies as the truth, the only, the ultimate truth.
This happens especially on the Internet, in social networks and discussion forums.
Remember always: War is always based on lies (Sun Tsu), and is profitable only to those who are in power.
So-called trolls, shills (paid disinformation - agents) are to maintain these power structures (and especially) opinion manipulators (spin doctors) employed.
The statements made above are true not only for the military-industrial complex (NATO and other militarily - conquest machines) but for all kinds of warfare and deception against the people and the biosphere, such as geo-engineering, (including 'manmade climate change !'), GMO, fracking, health (care) issues and of course the bank-bailout-agenda (find more).
Here is explained by means of examples, how this targeted manipulation is carried out.
I recommend to bookmark this article to have the appropriate arguments at hand, when required.

Serbia's center-right faces reform challenge after landslide
By Jovana Gec, AP
March 18, 2014, 12:10 am TWN
BELGRADE, Serbia--With a resounding election victory under its belt, Serbia's center-right SNS party must now forge ahead with tough economic reforms as it plots a course into the EU, analysts said on Monday.
With around half the ballots counted from Sunday's snap poll, the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) has taken 48.5 percent of the vote, according to the electoral commission, which would translate to 156 members in the 250-seat parliament.
On these trends, the SNS is headed for the most emphatic election win since late strongman Slobodan Milosevic came to power after the fall of communism in 1990.
SNS leader Aleksandar Vucic, tipped to become prime minister, had claimed victory on late Sunday.
Vucic "will be able to form the government without anybody else," the Blic newspaper wrote.
"But with such a majority, Vucic has also inherited an absolute responsibility for everything that happens in Serbia. From regular payment of pensions to negotiations with the EU and Kosovo, all will be his responsibility," it said.
The 44-year old Vucic, an ultra-nationalist hawk turned pro-European, said the first task for the government would be to push ahead with economic reforms and "solve the unemployment problem."
"We are facing difficult reforms... I am convinced that Serbia will pursue its path towards the EU and its fight against corruption," Vucic told supporters at a victory rally in Belgrade on Sunday.
Vucic has built up huge support on the back of a tough anti-corruption drive and his efforts to mend relations with Brussels.
A compromise deal last year over the status of breakaway region Kosovo opened the door for Serbia to start accession talks with the EU, which it hopes to join in 2020.

Mobile Marketer
Facebook has emerged as the leader in mobile display advertising as marketers shift ad spend to the platform much quicker than expected, according to a new report from eMarketer.
The social media giant is expected to generate $339 million in mobile ad revenue this year, up significantly from previous estimates of $45-$100 million. Facebook is expected to have an 18.4 percent share of mobile ad display revenue for the year compared with Google's 17 percent. "Major ad publishers are strengthening their offerings much faster than previously expected," said Clark Fredricksen, vice president of communications at eMarketer, New York. "I don't' think anybody thought after the second quarter that Google and Facebook would be in position that they are now in the mobile ad marketplace.
"It is really clear for marketers that they are able to potentially leverage the audiences on Facebook, Google and Twitter more effectively than they may have been at the beginning of the year," he said. "On the display side, the key finding is that the companies that have integrated ad products into their core user experience have shown it is very effective to do this because they can seamlessly deliver ads across devices."

Nanoparticle Surface Charge Directs the Cellular Binding of Nanoparticle-Protein Complexes
Candace C. Fleischer
Abstract: Nanoparticles used in biomedical applications are exposed to a host of extracellular proteins that can non-specifically adsorb to the nanoparticle surface. We have studied how blood serum proteins can direct the cellular binding of nanoparticles. We have determined that cationic nanoparticle binding is increased in the presence of serum proteins, and binding occurs to a scavenger receptor on the cell surface. In comparison, the cellular binding of anionic nanoparticles is inhibited by serum proteins and the nanoparticle binds to native protein receptors.
Candace is a 3rd year Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry (Research Advisor: Christine Payne). She obtained her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from WesternWashingtonUniversity.

SPRINGFIELD — An injured baby Chihuahua that was left outside the Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center with two broken legs is being nursed back to health, and officials at the Springfield facility are hoping someone might want to adopt the puppy once her condition improves.
The 2-week-old dog was left in a carrier on the doorstep of the Cottage Street center with tongue depressors attached to her legs. But the apparent attempt at homemade splints actually made matters worse for the tiny dog, whom center officials have named Rio.
"We did confirm both her legs are broken," center director Pam Peebles told CBS3 Springfield, media partner of MassLive.com/The Republican.
"All underlying areas of her legs basically were dying, the skin were dying off and were seriously infected," Peebles said.
Due to the severity of Rio's injuries, it may be some time before she's back on her feet. The dog, who weighs just 3 pounds, is being treated with pain medication and will be monitored until she recovers, according to Peebles. After that, Rio will be put up for adoption.
Officials are unsure what happened to Rio, but her injuries suggest she was the victim of animal cruelty – a crime punishable by up to five years in prison.
"Denying an animal from vet care to reduce or relieve suffering is a felony," Peebles said. "We know the economy's bad, we know veterinary care could be expensive, but doing nothing is not an option."
Anyone interested in adopting Rio can reach the center at (413) 781-1484.

- The recent world record price of $33.7 million paid at a Sotheby's auction for a 17th century Oriental rug.
- An eight-page editorial feature article in the August edition of The Robb Report Collection magazine highlighting rugs from the Second Golden Age of Persian Weaving (ca. 1800 to ca 1910).
"They are reflections of a knowledgeable interest and appreciation," he said, "of what has long been apparent to the inner circle of my global client base which is comprised of art and antique connoisseurs."
Winitz, the author of "The Guide to Purchasing an Oriental Rug," said the Sotheby's auction on June 5 was one in a series of events, stretching back nearly a decade where record prices and interest had captured the attention of the broader art world. At the same time, he said, "prices for highly collectible to museum-level rugs had remained at relatively modest prices when compared to other treasured arts and antiques."
Prior to the sale of the Safavid 'Sickle Leaf' Persian rug, the record price paid for an antique Oriental rug was a $9.59 million bid for 17th century Kirman sold at Christie's in 2010. "While we have been experiencing a strong demand among our art-collecting clients for more than a decade," said Winitz, "a significant first 'inkling' of a more dramatic change in the market was the response to our acquisition and sale of the Hudson River Collection in 2008. The initial segment of the trove was more than 200 pieces which sold out within six months.
"A decade ago it might have taken as much as 18 months for that to happen. This quickened pace of acquisition by our clients continues, with two more of our globally significant collections also having sold out in relatively short time periods," he said.
"The value of having a vast inventory built over three decades allows us to serve as a global source," said Winitz, who opened Claremont in 1980 and has a coterie of a dozen global buyer/collectors who seek out rugs for clients. "We have also noted a heightened interest from non-U.S. buyers, including from Russia and other former Soviet Republics."
Winitz said that the heightened interest was partially being spurred on by and a result of spectacular new permanent galleries of Islamic art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and at the Louvre in Paris as well as smaller, first time exhibits in several other U.S. museums.
Collectors recognize two periods, the First (ca. 1500 to ca. 1700) and Second (ca. 1800 to ca. 1910) Golden Ages of Persian Weaving, as the eras when the artistic skills and cultural traditions existed to produce art at its most profound level.
Knowledgeable art and antique connoisseurs are attuned to changing conditions in the market as well as the reality of the paucity of museum-quality rugs, he said. "Frankly, there are virtually no important rugs from the 'First Golden Age' available and the finest rugs from the 'Second Golden Age' are rapidly being purchased and placed into private collections."
The record-setting Southeast Persian Sickle-Leaf carpet, likely woven in the city of Kirman, sold at Sotheby's auction in New York was part of a selection of 25 carpets in the sale. Total sales for the event exceeded $43 million.
Winitz said that his international client base includes "art collectors who are constantly looking for top-tier rugs from the 'Second Golden Age'. I am comfortable in saying that in the first half of 2013 that we experienced one of the best years in our history.
"This is a product of the emotional and value sides, both of which are important to collectors," he said. "I recently had a client in Manhattan remark to me that the rugs that he had acquired at a cost in the low six figures to complement a seven-figure contemporary oil painting brought him more enjoyment than the painting itself."
In the Robb Collection interview, Winitz told editor Shaun Tolson "…great rugs were made as a universal expression to help us to look at everything in a deeper fashion, and I think that's exactly what's being discovered."
Looking ahead, Winitz said it was important for collectors to note that all of the rugs at the Sotheby's "Masterworks" auction sold at four to five times their estimates. "Combining all the factors and adding the reality of diminishing availability of 'Second Golden Age' pieces," he said, "suggests that first-caliber antique Oriental rugs have moved unequivocally from an undiscovered art form to the precious tangible asset category."
Winitz also noted that many private collections are international and multi-generational and "there is a tremendous passion among connoisseurs who are looking for specific weaving groups or color palettes."
In the end, however, he told Robb Collection, "rugs are more like Joyce than Hemingway; they're meant to be read over and over again."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Let's hear it for Danielle Mann, Serafina Maiara and Caitlin Rivera, who were lauded at a reception at Gracie Mansion as the 2010 recipients of the Chancellor's Arts Endorsed Diploma, a program for students who have completed a minimum of nine semesters of arts study along with a rigorous assessment of their art form. The girls became friends as freshmen in the honors program in the art magnet at Morris Intermediate School, Brighton Heights.
While studying with Iris Incle-Ramos and supervised by Assistant Principal Patrick Emery, the girls tested for and were accepted into Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music, Art and the Performing Arts - La! for short - as art majors.
Staying friends and traveling into La! for four years, each of the girls also attained an Advanced Regents Endorsed Diploma.
Caitlin's parents, Kathleen and Alberto Rivera, are extremely proud of the girls for all of their other achievements over the last four years including both Caitlin and Danielle's studies at the Art Lab at Snug Harbor, Caitlin's continued scholarship attendance at the Studio Art Program at the Brooklyn Museum, Caitlin and Serafina's work with the New York Film Academy and their selection as candidates for The Cooper Union Summer Art Intensive.
After being chosen as a participant in the LaGuardia Senior Art Show 2010, Caitlin decided to accept the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) Trustee's Scholarship offer and will be leaving for Baltimore in August.
Both Serafina and Danielle were accepted as early-decision candidates at NYU, where Serafina will be continuing her artistic endeavors in the Tisch School of Film.
The Riveras hope that the girls remain close friends and say that with this much talent and drive behind them, they can't wait to see what their future brings.
Celebrity ventriloquist and native Islander Pete Michaels was honored at the 2010 International Ventriloquist Convention with the W.S. Berger Distinguished Service Award For Outstanding Contributions To The Art Of Ventriloquism.

The Damascus City Council voted Tuesday to place a second comprehensive plan for the city on the November ballot. The next day, they voted to take it back off.
The legislative back-and-forth means voters will face the same choice they had before Tuesday's meeting -- a comprehensive plan that residents gathered signatures to place on the November ballot will appear on the March 2015 ballot.
The effect on residents, though, was brought into focus by newly-appointed City Councilor Debra Stevens' question after the votes: "They followed the process, they submitted their signatures, and because some members decided not to show up at the meeting, their votes could not be counted and the initiative could not move on. Is that why we're here? Or is it because the November election date was not on the form?"
While Stevens wanted to figure out what she had just voted on, her question at the end of the meeting touched on a sentiment repeated during the public comment period: Residents are struggling to figure out what is political theater and what is legislative duty in governing Damascus.
Stevens is referring to two special meetings in early August called by Councilors Jim De Young and Randy Shannon to OK a petition for the November ballot with more than the required number of signatures. The petition asked Damascus voters whether they wanted a comprehensive plan that was created and passed by the city's Planning Commission through a long public process.
The City Council refused to ask voters to approve it, though. So, a political action committee that De Young and Shannon support gathered signatures and put it on the May primary ballot.
Voters rejected it. Voters also rejected two other plans in the May election that were put there by the councilors.
So, as Mayor Steve Spinnett's comprehensive plan was adopted by the council and sent to the November ballot for voter approval, which is uniquely required in Damascus, residents again rallied to gather signatures.
Then, on Aug. 4, the petition was submitted to the city and the council had to meet to move it along to the ballot. De Young and Shannon called two special meetings -- one for Aug. 5 and one for Aug. 6 to accomplish this.
Two councilors were on vacation, and one seat was vacant, so the four remaining councilors had to show up for a quorum. De Young, Shannon and Councilor Dan Tomlinson showed up.
Spinnett did not.
Spinnett acknowledged that he chose not to attend the meetings so that the citizen petition would not sit next to his on the November ballot, angering many residents.
He thinks that two plans on the ballot hurts the chances of one being adopted. Spinnett announced he won't run for re-election shortly after.
Any plan, though, faces a growing number of residents who want to de-annex from the city, through a new state law, and people who want to disincorporate altogether. Plus, De Young said his faction is not likely to vote for November plan.
He said the problem is bigger than the minute details of filing dates or who voted for what.
"The No. 1 issue here is not the comprehensive plans, it's the integrity of the leadership of the city and that's been totally lost," De Young said.

Fourteenth-century Scholastic philosopher and controversial writer, born at or near the village of Ockham in Surrey, England, about 1280; died probably at Munich, about 1349. He is said to have studied at Merton College, Oxford, and to have had John Duns Scotus for teacher. At an early age he entered the Order of St. Francis. Towards 1310 he went to Paris, where he may have had Scotus once more for a teacher. About 1320 he became a teacher (magister) at the University of Paris. During this portion of his career he composed his works on Aristotelean physics and on logic. In 1323 he resigned his chair at the university in order to devote himself to ecclesiastical politics. In the controversies which were waged at that time between the advocates of the papacy and those who supported the claims of the civil power, he threw his lot with the imperial party, and contributed to the polemical literature of the day a number of pamphlets and treatises, of which the most important are "Opus nonaginta dierum", "Compendium errorum Joannis Papæ XXII", "Quæstiones octo de auctoritate summi pontificis". He was cited before the pontifical Court at Avignon in 1328, but managed to escape and join John of Jandun and Marsilius of Padua, who had taken refuge at the Court of Louis of Bavaria. It was to Louis that he made the boastful offer, "Tu me defendas gladio; ego te defendam calamo".
In his controversial writings William of Ockham appears as the advocate of secular absolutism. He denies the right of the popes to exercise temporal power, or to interfere in any way whatever in the affairs of the Empire. He even went so far as to advocate the validity of the adulterous marriage of Louis's son, on the grounds of political expediency, and the absolute power of the State in such matters. In philosophy William advocated a reform of Scholasticism both in method and in content. The aim of this reformation movement in general was simplification. This aim he formulated in the celebrated "Law of Parsimony", commonly called "Ockham's Razor": "Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate". With this tendency towards simplification was united a very marked tendency towards skepticism a distrust, namely, of the ability of the human mind to reach certitude in the most important problems of philosophy. Thus, in the process of simplification he denied the existence of intentional species, rejected the distinction between essence and existence , and protested against the Thomistic doctrine of active and passive intellect. His skepticism appears in his doctrine that human reason can prove neither the immortality of the soul nor the existence, unity, and infinity of God. These truths, he teaches, are known to us by Revelation alone. In ethics he is a voluntarist, maintaining that all distinction between right and wrong depends on the will of God. William's best known contribution to Scholastic philosophy is his theory of universals, which is a modified form of Nominalism, more closely allied to Conceptualism than to Nominalism of the extreme type. The universal, he says, has no existence in the world of reality. Real things are known to us by intuitive knowledge, and not by abstraction. The universal is the object of abstractive knowledge. Therefore, the universal concept has for its object, not a reality existing in the world outside us, but an internal representation which is a product of the understanding itself and which "supposes" in the mind, for the things to which the mind attributes it, that is it holds, for the time being, the place of the things which it represents. It is the term of the reflective act of the mind. Hence the universal is not a mere word, as Roscelin taught, nor a sermo, as Abelard held, namely the word as used in the sentence, but the mental substitute for real things, and the term of the reflective process. For this reason Ockham has been called a "Terminist", to distinguish him from Nominalists and Conceptualists.
Ockham's attitude towards the established order in the Church and towards the recognized system of philosophy in the academic world of his day was one of protest. He has, indeed, been called "the first Protestant ". Nevertheless, he recognized in his polemical writings the authority of the Church in spiritual matters, and did not diminish that authority in any respect. Similarly, although he rejected the rational demonstration of several truths which are fundamental in the Christian system of theology, he held firmly to the same truths as matters of faith. His effort to simplify Scholasticism was no doubt well-intentioned, and the fact that simplification was the fashion in those days would seem to indicate that a reform was needed. The over-refined subtleties of discussion among the Scholastics themselves, the multiplication of "formalities" by the followers of Scotus, the undue importance attached by some of the Thomists to their interpretation of the intentional species, and the introduction of the abstruse system of terminology which exceeded the bounds of good taste and moderation--all these indicated that the period of decay of Scholasticism had set in. On the other hand, it must be said that, while his purpose may have been the best, and while his effort was directed towards correcting an abuse that really existed, Ockham carried his process of simplification too far, and sacrificed much that was essential in Scholasticism while trying to rid Scholasticism of faults which were incidental.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Get ready for Coach KKK!
Of course, if you're going to have an all-white basketball league, there needs to be a team in the town that is home to the Masters. The All-American Basketball Alliance,or as insiders are calling it, the AABA, hopes to begin its first season in June with 12 franchises, including one in Augusta Georgia. No Fuzzy Zoeller is not commissioner of this league. That honor goes to boxing promoter Don "Moose" Lewis, who insists he is not a racist, and there's nothing hatred about his league. Lewis says "I don't hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here's a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like." While the white players may prefer a fundamental game, most NBA arenas are filled with white fans who enjoy basketball played by the greatest athletes on the planet. Despite that simple fact, Lewis says his league will emphasize fundamental basketball instead of "street-ball" played by "people of color." While college basketball has Coach K, the AABA will have Coach KKK. And sorry Washington, you're going to have to give up the moniker of your NBA franchise to this upstart league. The only question is, who will own the team and become its Grand Wizard? Lewis uses words that must make David Duke proud, such as; "Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?" Nice job Moose, you have laid the foundation for a league that will send sports back 100 years. Your "fundamental" league is a slam dunk to fail. Now, you and your fellow cape crusaders, go home!

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The Theatre Tuscaloosa 2013-2014 season, themed "Cheers to 15 Years!" will celebrate 15th anniversary in the Bean-Brown Theatre with three musicals, two special events, a comedy and what the company calls "a renewed commitment to providing quality live theatre to the West Alabama Community."
"This season promises to be filled with amazing entertainment from start to finish," Theatre Tuscaloosa Executive Producer Tina Turley said, according to a release. "There's nothing like the experience of live theater, and we couldn't be more thankful to have such a wonderful space in which to do it. Cheers to 15 years in the Bean Brown Theatre!

At 2 p.m. on Sept. 15, this staged reading will take a look at what every child imagines they want to be when they grow up and dares to examine what it's like to be a child in the most extreme conditions.
"The Forgotten Carols" will be presented Dec. 2-3. This family musical is about the hope and promise of Christmas.
The 2013-14 season will be presented in the Bean-Brown Theatre on Shelton State Community College's Martin Campus (located at 9500 Old Greensboro Road).

Tropical Storm Katia remains near the threshold of hurricane status, while a tropical wave near the southeastern Gulf of Mexico now has a high chance of intensifying into a tropical cyclone, National Hurricane Center meteorologists said tonight.
"Interests along the entire northern Gulf of Mexico coast should monitor the progress of this disturbance," the National Hurricane Center said of the tropical wave.
Earlier today, the wave was only give a small chance of developing into a depression, tropical storm or hurricane. But by this evening, it now is given a has a high chance, 60 percent, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
The disturbance being tracked is a large area of disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms over the southeastern Gulf. It's associated with a trough of low pressure.
"Upper-level winds are currently unfavorable for development, but are forecast to become more conducive on Thursday and this system could become a tropical depression during the next day or so," forecasters said.
The system is slowly moving northwestward.
Forecasters day weak vertical shear and modestly warm waters are likely to prevail over the next few days, making Katia's continued intensification likely. A large upper-level low to the northwest of Katia could cause an increase in shear, however, and that should reduce its chance at strengthening later in the forecast period.
According to the National Hurricane Center, some forecast models suggest that the outflow anticyclone of Katia will dominate the upper-level wind pattern, displacing the wind shear associated with the low that Katia is to run into. If that
occurs, Katia would likely become a major hurricane by day 4 or 5.
As to its path, see the forecast path graphic below.
