Knocked Up and Whacking Off
<p>When the biggest miracle of your life is Internet porn. </p>
FOR WOMEN, masturbation can start as early as three years old or as late as never. I don't think I understood how to do it correctly until I was in my early 20s. Instead, rubbing up and down on people and then freaking out and taking the morning-after pill was sort of my standard practice. Then one day, during sex with a guy who later wrote me a breakup note in his own blood, I climaxed for the first time. I was on top and I might have smothered his head with a pillow to stop him from telling me he was in pain and that his dick was going to break off, but at last it worked. I finally knew what everyone was talking about when they'd say, "If you aren't sure you've had an orgasm, you definitely haven't."
Shortly after this encounter, I tried to stimulate myself on my own. And not unlike building your first piece of shitty furniture from IKEA, it took two hours longer than it should have. The end result, however, was better than a plate of Swedish meatballs. I'd finally cracked the code to my own libido and there was no turning back.
For the first few months, I tried to give myself an orgasm a day. Ten years later, I was lucky if I was giving myself one a month. Even with diligent practice, reaching a climax never got easier. I put too much thought into the whole process. Like with sex, I couldn't just relax and turn my brain off. I needed to construct crazy scenarios in my mind, I needed to detach emotionally from my real self and I needed to make sure my dogs weren't judging me.
Then I got pregnant.
This is the part where I'm supposed to yammer on about the miracle of life and how having another being growing inside you is the most incredible thing a woman can ever hope to experience.
The greatest thing about being pregnant is the orgasms.
Somewhere around my second trimester, right around the time I stopped vomiting and just after I stopped telling my therapist that I feared my husband might not make a good parent because he farts in public, I realized that I could orgasm if I even thought about sex. My husband benefited greatly from this revelation, but quite frankly, there was only so much he could give. I was insatiable. An average day would start with me begging him to fuck me in the morning, followed by me counting the seconds until he left the house so I could start fucking myself. I was in the middle of finishing my book, so instead of coffee breaks I took porn breaks.
I'd watched my fair share of Internet porn in the past, but I wasn't well versed in the omnifarious diversity of options available mere inches from my fingertips. I did my due diligence and learned buzzwords like "creampie," "DP" and "gonzo." What I liked would change and evolve from week to week, so I found myself alternating between different sites based on my mood.
A typical day would look like this: I'd work on my book, type a few pages about how my parents loved themselves more than me. Then I'd take off my pants and run around the room looking for my stretch mark prevention oil. Then I'd put a T-shirt over my laptop camera because I've head rumors of people getting their photos snapped while ejaculating. Then I'd lather myself with Mother's Special Blend (available at Whole Foods).
Most of the time I'd start out on YouPorn.com and typically watch either a threesome or some kind of rough double-penetration scene to get me warmed up. I always like to start with a video where so much is going on that I don't have time to get distracted by the weird Tasmanian Devil tattoo on an actress' ass or wonder why a guy goes into porn if he has a penis skinnier than a Playtex slender tampon. Without fail, I'd come in less than 90 seconds. Then I'd take a quick breather, wash my hands and buy a candle or some sort of baby outfit on Gilt.com and then start the process all over again. Once I was situated comfortably back in front of my laptop and out of sight of my judgmental poodles, I'd travel over to PornHub.com and hunt for the best lesbian scene I could find. The second orgasm always took a minute or two longer, so I had more time to relax and savor the build.
With time, I shared my new hobby with my husband, and he welcomed the idea of incorporating porn into our commonplace married-people sex. We compared our favorite sites and rated each video after usage. Sometimes, I'd find myself silently judging the videos he picked as being boring and low-rent. The audio drove him crazy, whereas I needed the volume all the way up to drown out the voices in my head screaming, "Why is nobody stimulating her clitoris?" As a woman, I didn't give a shit about a come shot or any scene where a chick was giving a blowjob unless another orifice on her body was being penetrated. I didn't want my porn to simulate my real life; I wanted it to help me escape my real life.
On several sites I noticed an option for female-friendly porn. This option was clearly created by a man, because what men fail to realize is that women aren't looking for a fairy tale. They too want to feel provoked, dirty and slightly offended. When I'm masturbating, I'm busy conjuring up the most explicit things I can think of. I'm free of worrying about making a real connection with a human being or trying to intuit somebody else's innermost desires. Watching porn with your partner, especially someone you've been fucking for over half a decade, takes the pressure off trying to be everything to that one person. Instead, let them fill in the blanks, create whatever narrative works on that specific day and worry about your own goddamn orgasm.
It's hard to say whether it's all the porn or just the fact that there is a tiny fetal penis inside me 24/7, but I've never been so in touch with my sexuality. I'm finally one of those girls who can just enjoy the process of finding my orgasm without the stress of worrying about whether I'm going to eat carbs for dinner or whether my poodles are secretly my prudish grandparents reincarnated. Masturbating all day, with the added bonus of being able to pretend you didn't masturbate all day because you still have the energy for a few more orgasms, is the real miracle of life.
If you are pregnant or are currently living with someone you believe is pregnant, please take advantage of what I believe is one of the most incredible things any of us can ever hope to experience.
Happy whacking!

Arsenal play host to Tottenham in the north London derby at the weekend, and if history is anything to go by, goals should be on the menu.
There have been 23 goals scored in the last four Premier League games between the two sides at Emirates Stadium, with three or more goals being scored in nine of the last 10 meetings between the sides in all competitions.
Indeed, the last six league meetings between the two have resulted in 27 goals - an average of 4.5 per game.
Those stats suggest that over 2.5 goals is well worth a look at the 3/5 on offer with GunnersGaming in a match which has produced some classic games in recent times.
The latest of those came in this corresponding fixture last season when Arsène Wenger's men came from two goals down to triumph 5-2.
A repeat of that outcome looks highly unlikely, but a 3-2 win for Arsenal is a 20/1 chance with GunnersGaming.
In the outright betting, Arsenal are 13/15 to win.
Olivier Giroud has been a regular on the scoresheet in recent weeks and is 11/2 to bag the opener and 3/2 to score anytime.
Another player well worth considering in those markets is Theo Walcott.
He has scored three goals against Spurs, his joint-highest tally against any opponent in the league, and is priced up at 7/1 to score first, and 12/5 to get on the scoresheet at any time.
*Odds correct at time of writing.

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"]I've come to a realization which actually makes me sick and will get moorehead edgy (thats the positive). I think with Tuck seemingly more healthy and JPP being the monster he is - that our season really comes down to the contribution of one more guy - Osi.
I think if Osi can come back and be the pass rush specialist he is for us that it would really make a huge difference for our success..
are you talking next year?
yea, Tuck was so diasppointing this year. I hate how injured our team has been. Guys who should have missed time, played hurt, and it did nothing but hurt our D.
I'm also fairly confident with our secondary once it's healthy. We gotta replace Ross though. I cant handle him anymore. I feel that once Prince matures a little bit, that with Webster, TT, and Prince, we have a solid core of CBs. Phillips is showing flashes of better-ness, which is good, and Rolle I can't really complain about 90% of the time....

Under former governor John Baldacci, a Democrat, state revenue projections were calculated by a panel known as the Consensus Economic Forecasting Commission. To be appointed to this august body, potential members had to demonstrate they had the math skills of a chipmunk.
Current Republican Governor Paul LePage has apparently decided to maintain those same high standards.
To explain what's wrong with the way Maine government figures out how much money it'll take in, it's necessary to dredge up a little history.
In November 2005, the economy was growing slowly. The commission, possibly suffering from the aftereffects of a meth-fueled weekend at a Kennebunk Zumba studio, announced that tax receipts for the next 18 months would run $164 million higher than previously predicted. Sixty days later, state officials admitted those figures might've been a tad optimistic. Projections were reduced by $35 million.
By then, the $35 million (which hadn't been collected yet) was already being spent. The first of many budget revisions was required.
In February 2006, the expert economists decided they hadn't been as far off the mark as they originally thought. The state only needed to reduce spending by $9 million to $13 million. Another budget reworking and the fiscal year ended in June 2006 with a small surplus, which Baldacci and the Legislature promptly spent.
Buoyed by this success, commission members decided revenues would grow $181 million over the next two years, a number they later increased to $270 million.
By early 2007, income was falling below expectations consistently. The group said it might have to curb its enthusiasm to the tune of $34 million. A month later, revenue for the preceding 30 days came in $34 million below estimates. Undeterred, the panel met in May and raised its guess on the annual take by almost $20 million.
No way this party was coming to an end. Not as long as those budget revisions kept happening.
The state ended the first month of fiscal year 2008 more than $8 million in the red. And that trend continued until November, when commissioners decided they should do a little reassessing.
"We know it could get worse," Baldacci told Capitol News Service, "but we won't know how bad until the panel meets and analyzes what is happening."
The commissioners tinkered with the statistics. The Legislature again rewrote the budget. And the state managed to finish the year with just enough black ink to pay for essential services. Fiscal year 2009, however, began with a different hue: three straight months of solid red. Timing issues, said the experts. This stuff will straighten itself out.
By March, the shortfalls were averaging more than $20 million per month. The commission downgraded its estimates, and another retooled budget was hastily passed, showing a $26 million positive balance. By May, all of that was gone, and Baldacci had to dip into the Rainy Day Fund to avoid a $25 million deficit.
"I think we're very concerned that it's a trend," state Finance Commissioner Ryan Low told the Appropriations Committee.
The projected shortfall for the new year: $80 million.
The commission's response: Let's not be hasty.
Three months later, the underage already totaled over $42 million.

"Skylight Blind"
By Ed from Santa Maria, CA
This blind is great! The only problem I encountered was I installed the mounting brackets backwards. The pictures in the instructions were correct but a cautionary note on them about the mounting direction would have been nice but they still work well. I am quite happy with the blind.View this product

4Ft All Stainless Restaurant Range Grease Hood - NSF
Superior Hoods | Model: VSE48-4
Superior Hoods VSE48-4 Specifications
Please note: local ordinances may require additional accessories to meet fire and safety codes. Check with local code departments before purchasing. Please call us directly with more questions about necessary accessories.
They are Superior to others in that they are made of 100% Stainless Steel, not just what is seen. Unlike those that are made of Stainless Steel ("where exposed") and Galvanized Metal, these will stand the test of time and regular cleaning.
They feature the shallow front design (standard 16 inches tall but can be as short as 12 inches for an additional charge) so that they can be used where low ceilings are present (and the taller cooks and chefs will not have to worry about banging their heads) but the hood still drops down closer to the cooking surfaces in the back. This allows even more of the fumes and grease-ladened vapors to be pulled out of the building.
The filters in the hood are standard 20-inch high as opposed to 16-inch high. This provides more filtering surface and therefore is more efficient and quieter to operate.
This hood is brand new, shipped directly from the manufacturer. The above picture is representative of the style of hood and is from the same manufacturer.

I think fans need to realize that Blackburn would not be a starter on most teams, a great guy a solid player and awesome attitude and a lot of heart. So just accept that he isnt a stud at his position but he is a great worker.

Chase historically has been a slow of foot, hard working guy with great instincts and GREAT TACKLING ability. If he keeps missing tackles he will give Herzlich a chance to prove himself. Rivers, Kiwi, Boley, nor J Will are good fits for the MLB position. They are all better flowing sideline to sideline using thier athletic ability to make plays. We'll be drafting a MLB next year.
LB core is the second level of defense. Our problems versus the run stem from the first level- poor DL run defense.
he does suck man. lol . how can ya not get someone in there. wish jon goff was still in the mix at least.
I just got done watching a Replay of the Conference Championship last year against the Niners and Blackburn was flawless. He covered Vernon Davis several times very well and even caused a coverage sack because he was playing wonderful trail techinque coverage while Rolle was over the top. Blackburn is not the main problem at all on this team, We have a group of Defensive Tackles who are on roller skates out there, everyone says that Marvin Austin has high potential and I dont see it at all. When Blackburn plays trail techinque the safties are confused on who has over the top coverage. Many times these things happen, and Blackburn was not the main culprit. Trent Richardson is a tough guy to bring down and he's sooo low to the ground, Blackburn struggled tackling him but so do most linebackers in one on one situations. This unit as a whole needs to gang tackle and I do not see that at all. Sometimes I watch Tuck stop a running back in a backfield and not have any1 come help and clean up the tackle. Its almost sickening that any1 would blame Blackburn. Get over it Rivers was a bust who is living off his USC accolades like most of these overrated USC stars like Carson Palmer and Reggie Bush, and Taylor Mays.
for those callin him slow, watch him on the pressure that leads to the int that weeden threw...i had to make sure 4x bc i couldnt believe it was chase movin so quick.
we could be doing a lot worse at MLB is my take on it. if we needed our MLB to make game breaking plays, we'd be screwed. but we have playmakers else where on the d

These are snippets of my code:
My Shader file:
cbuffer ConstantBuffer { float4x4 final; float4x4 rotation; // the rotation matrix float4 lightvec; // the light's vector float4 lightcol; // the light's color float4 ambientcol; // the ambient light's color float mp; }
Here I just defined my constant buffer in my hlsl file.
Declaration in c++:
struct CBUFFER { public:D3DXMATRIX Final; public:D3DXMATRIX Rotation; public:D3DXVECTOR4 LightVector; public:D3DXCOLOR LightColor; public:D3DXCOLOR AmbientColor; public:float MP; };
Then later on:
cBuffer.Final = UmatRotate * UmatPosition * UmatScaling * matView * matProjection; cBuffer.Rotation = UmatRotate; cBuffer.MP = 2.0f;
devcon->UpdateSubresource(pCBuffer, 0, 0, &cBuffer, 0, 0);
And also some other code, but which is irrelevant.
So all the values other than the mp works, the mp in my shader is not given a value, and I would like to ask why? What did I do wrong?
Best Regards

Some people believe that a physical body is all we have in lifeothers believe, at the least, in something they call a "soul." Some think of the soul as a kind of balloon-like attachment to the physical body, while others think of the body as a kind of "vehicle" for the soul. But how do we define "soul?" Is it the same as "spirit?" And what of "consciousness?" Carl Llewellyn Weschcke, co-author of Astral Projection for Psychic Empowerment, discusses how we are so much more than a physical body, and how we can use these different vehicles of our selves to advance our lives and humanity to become all that we are.

Do Spirits Have "Past Lives?" Of course they do! At least for spirits of the recently deceased people, which is what people generally mean when using the word "spirits."

We journey through many life times, both while incarnated in the...

The recent and on-going revolution in physics has not only added another dimension to our understanding of the "worlds" in which we live, but provides a totally new perspective in which consciousness is added to the basic duality of Energy & Matter to form a "Trinity of Power" through which any individual person can actively intervene and bring change to his or her own potential reality. Simply speaking, you can shape your future. It is this active intervention that gives genuine meaning to our approach to "Self-Empowerment." So how does one use self-empowerment to create a better life, the life they have always dreamed of? Carl Llewellyn Weschcke, co-author of Self-Empowerment Through Self-Hypnosis Meditation CD Companion and Self-Empowerment Through Self-Hypnosis, explains.

Sometimes it is difficult to know and understand our "self." We may think we understand our thoughts, feelings, compulsions, and desires, but we may be left wondering just why we do or say certain things.

I'm desperately in need of some help. Has anyone heard of Poland English Language Centre?
I just recieved an offer from them but my instincts are on high alert. The China one that I posted about earlier still gives no reply (referring to my previous post) so I assume it is a hoax.
It is a tiring process when you want an honest job. Many don't hire you because you aren't a native speaker and worse people try to rip you off! What is it with them?

A grant of EPA funds was made available by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in October 1990 to selected southwest Missouri poultry producers representing each of the five major poultry processing companies. The purpose of the grant is to demonstrate the feasibility of composting dead birds in an environmentally sound manner. The grant is administered by Southwest Missouri Resource Conservation and Development, Inc., with technical assistance provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and educational activities provided by MU Extension.
David Boyd, of Purdy, Mo., representing George's, Inc., agreed to participate in the demonstration project. Boyd's concerns about environmental considerations and future regulations pertaining to dead bird disposal were factors in his decision to participate in the project. This guide describes the composting project relating to Boyd's poultry operation.
The Boyd broiler operation consists of five buildings in which 6 flocks per year are grown to a market weight of 4 pounds. Table 1 outlines the characteristics of the five buildings. Average mortality rate in these facilities is about 3 percent.
Table 1Building type and bird capacity in the Boyd operation
The composter serving this operation has several unique construction features:
Figure 1 shows the steel frame truss used to support the roof. These trusses are bolted to the perimeter footing of the building.
Primary and secondary compost bins are located along the outside front walls. There are three primary and secondary bins in the facility. All bins are the same size (8 feet wide, 6 feet long and 5 feet high) with a capacity of 240 cubic feet each. Total capacity is 720 cubic feet in the primary bins and 720 cubic feet in the secondary bin.
This layout provides a large covered work area (24 feet by 27 feet). Corrugated sheet metal partially encloses the top of bin walls and the eave for rain protection. Primary and secondary bins are made with 2-inch treated lumber, allowing 1-inch spacing between boards for air movement.
The rear portion of the composter is used as a litter storage area. This area is 39 feet wide, 20 feet long and 5 feet high. Volume for the litter storage area is 3,900 cubic feet — 60 tons of litter storage space. This volume is greater than the volume of litter used annually in the composter, hence in excess of one year's storage of litter is available in the composter building. Additionally, the large litter storage area adds flexibility to the production building clean out and land spreading schedule. The litter storage area has 5 feet high walls supported by 2-by-6 treated wood studs on the sides and 4-by-6 treated wood posts along the back. The gable area of the back wall is enclosed with 29-gage corrugated sheet metal attached to 2-by-4 studs that rest on a plate at the top of rear wall posts.
Figures 1 through 5 show construction details of the Boyd composter.
Figure 1Plan view of the Boyd composter.
Figure 2Cross section of the Boyd composter through the composting bins.
Figure 3Cross section of the Boyd composter through the litter storage area.
Figure 4Side view of the Boyd composter.
Figure 5Rear-end view of the Boyd composter.
Boyd estimates an average of 30 minutes per day is spent layering dead birds and ingredients in the composter. Boyd says he prefers the composter method of dead bird disposal over his former method of pit burial.
He uses a 60 hp tractor with a 6-foot bucket on a front-end loader to move and load compost. Finished compost is spread by a hired contractor. He noticed that compost containing excessive straw is difficult to handle with his loader. Table 2 shows a laboratory analysis of the finished compost fertilizer value from the Boyd composter.
Table 2Analysis of litter and finished compost in the Boyd operation
Composter costs depend upon many factors such as site characteristics, composter design, size, etc. Table 3 shows costs incurred for the Boyd composter as constructed in November 1990.

K-1 News and Notes, Fueled by Tanikawa and K-1's New Investors/Buyers
- Published in K-1
Watch the above video and note some of the key words that Tanikawa uses and that he does seem dead set that not only will K-1 continue on, but that K-1 will be fine. While in the past I've felt that those were empty words, I can confirm now that things are indeed looking up. The PUJI deal has actually yielded some capital for K-1 and there are some investors (or possibly even buyers) who are serious about K-1 continuing and becoming a worldwide force. The show in China that Tanikawa mentions is currently airmarked for October and does indeed seem like a reality as opposed to "Japanese Grandstanding" that we hear about.
LiverKick.com has been made aware of who some of the investors are, and confirmed through a number of sources the accuracy of the information, but will continue to keep it under wraps until the deals are finalized on all sides and the exchange of money and power have been made. What we can say is that the companies investing in K-1 are very serious about kickboxing and K-1 and have the money to make sure there are not as many hurdles. It also means that K-1's typical Japan-centric approach will be compromised as it is not a viable business model, nor is it one these new investors would support. K-1 putting on one show is a big deal, as will be paying fighters who are owed money. For all the talk of Japanese television deals, while those will be important for K-1, they will no longer be the driving force of revenue and motivation like they once were if these deals go according to plan.
K-1 is lucky that they made themselves the undeniable brand in kickboxing, mainly by establishing a set of rules that were universally adopted and by running worldwide tournaments on a yearly basis to determine who the best are. Many promotions are able to book some of the top talent from K-1, but it seems like no one can pull in all of the exact names (granted, some like It's Showtime have their own pool of talent and exclude some headscratchers of names like Teixeira and Jaideep) and pit them against each other successfully.
A K-1 looking to take a global scale seriously is a K-1 that will have multiple revenue streams and actually build up its name internationally, with a focus on Japan as a homebase but not its only base there is a greater chance for the company to succeed and prosper. Expect big things to come from K-1 if things go according to plan.

How to progress through the game: In Magnetica, marbles roll down a twisted sprial path toward the goal and players must stop them. When new marbles appear in the launcher, grab them with the stylus and fire them into the oncoming ones. If players match three or more of the same color, they will disappear. And since like colors attract one another, players can eliminate one color and cause others to crash into each other, forming massive chains of marble elimination.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: In single-player modes, players can find items that will increase their score, slow or stop time, or reverse the course of the marbles. In Versus mode, players get access to an arsenal of weaponry with which to annoy their opponent: Ion Clouds (which create smoke screens), Recoils (which block marbles), Black Holes (which suck up launched marbles) and Gravitons (which alter the path of launched marbles).

Liriano rusty in Pirates' 6-3 loss to Reds
CINCINNATI - Francisco Liriano was in trouble often, but it was just one bad pitch that really cost the Pittsburgh left-hander.
Liriano gave up Kris Negron's first career home run, and All-Star Todd Frazier later added a two-run shot as the Cincinnati Reds rolled into the All-Star break with a 6-3 win over the Pirates on Sunday.
"I'll learn from my mistakes and try to get better," Liriano said.
Liriano made his first start since June 10 against the Chicago Cubs, when he strained his left oblique strain. He tied his season high by issuing six walks for the second time in three starts, and left the bases loaded in two of his four innings.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle wasn't sure if Liriano would be rusty after being reinstated from the disabled list before the game.
"You've got to get him into a big league game to find out," Hurdle said. "He threw one bad strike — one badly located strike. He's got to be able to maintain his delivery. He has the ability to maintain his composure and his delivery."
Hoping to get Liriano back on track as quickly as possible, Hurdle announced before the game that he would start the first game after the break on Friday against Colorado.
"I can't wait for Friday," Liriano said.
Liriano (1-7) allowed three hits and three runs with four strikeouts and a wild pitch.
Frazier lined a drive just inside the right-field foul pole on the first pitch from Vance Worley in the sixth to help the Pirates finish 2-5 on their road trip.
"We took another look at Frazier's home run," Hurdle said. "That was a good piece of hitting."
The Reds went 8-3 on their 11-game homestand against Milwaukee, the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh to finish the first half 10-0-1 in series against those Central Division opponents. They are 0-3 in series against St. Louis.
Johnny Cueto, another Reds All-Star, overcame Neil Walker's home run and a 56-minute rain delay in the fifth to last six innings. Cueto (10-6) allowed five hits and three runs with two walks and seven strikeouts. He also hit a batter.
Jubo Diaz pitched the seventh, and Jonathan Broxton worked the eighth before Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth for his 21st save.
Chapman's fanning of leadoff batter Pedro Alvarez extended his record strikeout streak to 41 straight appearances.
Two of Pittsburgh's All-Stars got the Pirates on the board. Andrew McCutchen tripled and scored the Pirates' first run on Walker's groundout in the fourth.
All-Star backup Josh Harrison made it a one-run game with an RBI single in the fifth.
Devin Mesoraco drove in Jay Bruce from first base with a double off the left-center field wall in the fifth.
Walker snapped a 0-for-12 slump with his 13th homer leading off the sixth. Russell Martin followed by reaching second base on an error by shortstop Zack Cozart, but the Pittsburgh catcher was thrown out trying to steal third.
"That's on me," Hurdle said. "I should've given him the no-run sign."
Another Cozart error in the inning helped Pittsburgh get runners to first and second with two outs, but pinch-hitter Gaby Sanchez flied out to end the threat.
"They got two big swings," Hurdle said. "We got something going after the rain delay. We were one pitch away from popping it. We weren't able to get that big swing."
NOTES: The Pirates optioned INF Matt Hague to Triple-A Indianapolis to make room for Liriano. ... According to Elias Sports Bureau, as reported by the Pirates, McCutchen on Saturday became the first player in franchise history to hit tying and go-ahead home runs in the ninth inning or later of the same game.

Russell has always responded to my PM's on the forums, but I can't say the same for emails to the website asking about products, shipping quotes or queen dates. I ended up ordering 20 queens from other producers.
If they are that covered up, I think it's time to hire some temps to answer the phone/email. That or Russell can barter queens/bees with me for a new website that can handle some of the heavy lifting.

What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Nervousness and insomnia are the most common adverse reactions but are usually controlled by reducing dosage and omitting the drug in the afternoon or evening. Other reactions include hypersensitivity (including skin rash, urticaria, fever, arthralgia, exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme with histopathological findings of necrotizing vasculitis, and thrombocytopenic purpura); anorexia; nausea; dizziness; palpitations; headache; dyskinesia; drowsiness; blood pressure and pulse changes, both up and down; tachycardia; angina; cardiac arrhythmia; abdominal pain; weight loss during prolonged therapy; libido changes. There have been rare reports of Tourette's syndrome. Toxic psychosis has been reported. Although a definite causal relationship has not been established, the following have been reported in patients taking this drug: serotonin syndrome in combination with serotonergic drugs, rhabdomyolysis, instances of abnormal liver function, ranging from transaminase elevation to severe hepatic injury; isolated cases of cerebral arteritis and/or occlusion; leukopenia and/or anemia; transient depressed mood; aggressive behavior; a few instances of scalp hair loss. Very rare reports of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) have been received, and, in most of these, patients were concurrently receiving therapies associated with NMS. In a single report, a 10-year-old boy who had been taking methylphenidate for approximately 18 months experienced an NMS-like event within 45 minutes of ingesting his first dose of venlafaxine. It is uncertain whether this case represented a drug-drug interaction, a response to either drug alone, or some other cause.
In children, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, weight loss during prolonged therapy, insomnia, and tachycardia may occur more frequently; however, any of the other adverse reactions listed above may also occur.

Well everybody, Morehead is leaving for St. Croix early tomorrow morning. I'll be back late Saturday night in time to mentally prepare for the game.

Matt.....Keep thinking that since the Giants use motion in their offense, it makes them a run and shoot hybrid. Its a run and Shoot league Matt, and we're just living in it. Hahahahahahahaha!!!

If you do want to make an actual case, please cite examples of what specifically the Giants do that other teams don't, that are characteristics of the Run and Shoot. I will be interested in reviewing those examples when I get back.

Oh....I loved the Travis Beckhum reference. He's a huge part of our offense. Hahahahaha!!!

Stay beautifully misguided. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) homepage
IFC's evaluation system for investment operations is based on self-evaluation. Investment staff prepare Expanded Project Supervision Reports (XPSRs) for a random, representative sample of projects. IEG-IFC then undertakes an independent review of the project's performance and the XPSR's assigned ratings (and adjusts them if needed) to ensure that the prescribed evaluation guidelines and criteria are applied consistently.
The guidelines and templates that IEG-IFC provides to IFC staff who complete XPSRs is linked below. Guidelines are different for financial markets and non-financial markets (real sector) operations.
Through its evaluation framework, IFC applies relevant results measures to individual investment operations. IFC has three main indicators for ratings:
Project development outcomeis a synthesis rating of four indicators defining the quality of a project's financial, economic, and environmental/social sustainability, and its contribution to a country's private sector development;
Investment outcomeconsiders a project's contribution to IFC's profitability; and
IFC's work quality is derived from three indicators measuring the extent to which IFC's front-end work has met prescribed good-practice standards; its effectiveness in supervising the investment from the time it is committed until IFC's loan is repaid or its equity is sold; and the quality and efficacy of IFC's role and contribution to the project's outcome.

USDA released its July Milk Production report last Friday, August 17.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
Production in the 23 major dairy producing states remained static for two consecutive months. With a slight revision of less than 0.1 percent from preliminary estimates, June milk production was bolstered 2 million pounds to 15.5 billion pounds. Production for July in the 23 major states also totaled 15.5 billion pounds.
The preliminary production estimates for July are a 0.8 percent hike from July 2011 production levels at 15.39 billion pounds. Production per cow averaged 1,826 pounds in July. This represented a 6-pound boost from the same time frame last year. Compared to June 2012, cow numbers on dairies in the 23 major states dropped 7,000 head. The 8.5 million milk cows on these dairies though still represents a 41,000-head gain compared to July of last year.
Through the first half of the year, milk production in the U.S. is 102.5 billion pounds. For the same six-month period in 2011, production totaled 98.9 billion pounds. This represents a 3.6 billion pound rise in milk production compared to last year. Milk per cow has also posted significant gains in the U.S. For the first quarter, production per cow rose 227 pounds. In the second quarter, gains were a moderate 73 pounds per cow.
In the 23 major states, significant milk production gains have been seen month over month when compared to 2011. The largest gains were posted in February and March with an 8.2 and 4.3 percent boost over 2011 production, respectively. The smallest production gains were seen with July's slight 0.8 percent.
For the month of July, six states had year over year declines in production. California, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington had declines of 1, 2.7, 1.8, 1.5, 2.4 and 3.3 percent, respectively. With the exception of Pennsylvania the production drops were all in West or Southwestern states.
To counteract these drops, production gains above 3 percent occurred in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Utah and Wisconsin. Colorado posted the most significant gain at 5.8 percent with Missouri gaining 4.7 percent.

With limited forages this year, a special webinar has been added to address the options for producers to examine additional forage possibilities. "Sorting through your forage supply options" will be presented by Mike Hutjens, University of Illinois. Hutjens expressed great interest in making this a very interactive webinar, wanting input from the attendees as to their current situation, so everyone can learn from others and gain some insight so they are better prepared to tackle their forage needs. Join us Monday, August 27 at 12 noon (Central time) for this webinar. Biotal Forage Inoculants (www.qualitysilage.com) stepped forward to sponsor this webinar.
If you already have registered for any of the free webinars, you will automatically receive a link to watch this webinar. If you want to participate, visit www.hoards.com/webinars or go directly to the enrollment page.
