About Me
Hi there. I am giving the modeling a rest and focusing on photography. I am looking to work with aspiring models who are starting a portfolio. I am currently offering TFCD to those I feel would benefit my port. I enjoy taking pictures of people and enhancing their natural beauty.
I've learned a lot on the modeling side and don't mind giving direction so long as we are both having fun!
I do not own an expensive camera or have a studio as I am just beginning but I do enjoy it and really get into it. The photos in my port are all images of my boyfriend but by no means do I only shoot guys. I would like to shoot women and children as well. I'm really just looking to expand my port so if you like what you see and I like what I see...let's shoot

Well, I made these a couple of weeks ago, because I was going to use them in a cake. But, then I got impatient, and kind of forgot about them, and they've been soaking for about 3 weeks! I figure, at this point, they're either really bad or really good! What's your favorite recipe to use these in?

If you can't rely on The Only Way Is Essex cast to make a party something to talk about, then who can you?
This must have been what ITV were thinking when they sent out invitations to thier summer party to James 'Diags' Bennewith and his best pal Tom Pearce, and they didn't disappoint.
The lads, who never make headlines for anything other than their many female conquests, have been pictured in today's Daily Mail, both with girls on their arms.
Fans of the hit ITV2 reality show will know that Diags had taken fellow cast member Abi Clarke on a few dates towards the end of the last series, but had told her in no uncertain terms that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend.
However, it certainly didn't look that way from the pictures, which show the pair strolling around hand in hand between snogs.
Discussing the blossoming relationship in a recent omg!yahoo interview, Diags said:
"The first [date] went OK, I think,. They don't just fancy me because I'm famous, it's my shining personality coming through!
"It's a lot of pressure dating on TV, especially considering I don't date in real life, I'm even more nervous! I'd like to see Abi again, I think she's a nice girl, I'd like to see how it works out."
But it wasn't just Diags that got lucky, Tom Pearce can be seen trying to eat the face off Take Me Out contestant Emma Conybeare!
Joining the pair at the party was new cast member, Dan Osborne, who opted to stay away from the cameras in the last episode of the shows last series after it was revealed that he had known his ex was pregnant with his baby before hooking up with Lucy Mecklenburg during the shows summer special The Only Way Is Marbs.
And he wasn't alone – he was seen hanging out with Abi's best friend Jasmin Walia, who incidentally he also kissed in Marbella!
Could they be back on track to being friends who gaze lovingly out to see together again? We shall have to wait for the next series to find out!

[COLLEGE MEN: Tuesday] Sophomore Jackson Eskay's fourth goal of the season lifted William & Mary to a 1-0 victory at No. 3 North Carolina on Tuesday night. The victory was the third straight for the Tribe over ranked opponents after wins over No. 4 Creighton and No. 25 Elon.
The Tar Heels, who suffered their first loss of the season had their chances. Chipper Root hit the crossbar in the first half, and
Marco Sunol and Alex Olofson had chances after Eskay put the Tribe ahead in the 73rd minute, but they were denied by
freshman goalkeeper Mac Phillips.
It is the first time in school history that the Tribe defeated three consecutive ranked opponents.
WAKE FOREST-VCU. Down a man after forward Sean Okoli was issued a red card and trailing 1-0 in the first half, Wake Forest
rallied to beat No. 10 VCU, 2-1, on goals from defenders Tolani Ibikunle and Sam Fink, the first of the season for each
VCU went on top in the 19th minute on Dakota Barnathan's header and just over four minutes later, Okoli was sent off for throwing a ball at
a Ram player.
But the Demon Deacons dominated the rest of the game and finished with a 20-8 edge in shots.
"I'm very proud," said Wake coach Jay Vidovich. " I'm happy for (the players), also. I think they're starting to realize they can be a quality team. This evening, I think they found
that they're winners, so that's the bottom line for me."
CREIGHTON-MICHIGAN STATE. Michigan State held Creighton to a 2-2 tie in the
Bluejays' fourth consecutive double-overtime match Tuesday night in Omaha.
Creighton had to rally twice on goals from freshman Marvin Iskra and Bruno Castro to salvage the draw after the Spartans (4-1-1) went ahead on goals by Fatai Alashe and Tim Kreutz.
AKRON-OHIO STATE. Zac
Portillos' goal in the seventh minute stood up as No. 9 Akron beat Ohio State, 1-0, in front of 3,328 fans at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field.
Robbie Derschang made a key defensive stop on Zach Mason's shot late in the game to
preserve the win for the Zips, who improved to 6-2-0 on the year.
MARYLAND-OLD DOMINION. Sophomore David
Kabelik's second-half equalizer salvaged a 1-1 draw for No. 14 Maryland against visiting Old Dominion. The goal came nine minutes after freshman Alex
Crognale's own goal put the Monarchs ahead.
"I'm disappointed with the result," head coach Sasho Cirovski said. "We squandered way too many chances
in this game and looked like a tired team. We were not as sharp as we've been the last couple of games."
CLEMSON-USC UPSTATE. Kyle Fisher's header off Thomas McNamara's corner kick and Ara Amirkhanian's diving
header off Jack Metcalf's cross gave No. 15 Clemson a 2-0 win over winless USC Upstate.
Milestone ...
George Gelnovatch earned 250th career victory at Virginia as the Cavaliers beat previously unbeaten Providence, 4-0, at Kloeckner Stadium. Eric Bird scored a pair of first-half goals, and freshmen Patrick Foss and Riggs
Lennon each added second-half goals.
MONDAY NIGHT. New Mexico freshman Niko Hansen scored a goal with
12 seconds remaining in regulation to give the No. 19 Lobos a 1-0 win at UC Santa Barbara before 3,147 fans.

Your water charges reflect the costs of cleaning and delivering safe, high quality drinking water to your home. Your sewer charges reflect the costs of collecting the wastewater, transporting it to a waste treatment plant, and cleaning the water to almost drinking water quality. The cleanliness standards for both drinking water and treated wastewater are set by the state and federal government. By lowering your water consumption during the winter months, you can lower your bills all year long. How does that work?
1. Your Water Use is Metered
To ensure that customers are charged fairly for water, City of Sachse uses meters to measure water use. All water customers have water meters of various sizes based on their needs.
2. How Your Residential Sewer Average is Calculated
Your water use for the months of November, December, January, February and March are the basis for the calculation. These are the best months for averaging because customers water their lawns less in the winter; therefore irrigation water is not inflating the amount of water transported into the sanitary sewer. The highest and lowest use months are removed from the calculation, and the three remaining months are averaged to determine the monthly volume. This calculated volume will be billed for the next 12 months.

Conserving Measures for Outdoor Water Use
City of Sachse has installed a weather station. Visit www.WaterMyYard.org, select the weather station near your location, find exactly how long to set your irrigation system and begin to water your landscape more efficiently.
Landscape watering typically accounts for the majority of household water use during summer months. Higher water use increases your water bill – and increases the demand on our water supply. An automatic sprinkler systems provides convenience but if not programmed properly, you could use up to 35% more water than your neighbors without a sprinkler system. To maintain maximum control of your water use, operate your sprinkler system manually. However, if you decide to run your sprinkler system on the automatic setting, here are some helpful tips to ensure you don't put an unnecessary strain on our water supply, or your wallet.

A straight support group fortifies the former spouses of gays
By Edith Honan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Every October, a group of about 100 divorcees pack into a hotel on Treasure Island Beach, Florida, for the annual gathering of the Straight Spouse Network - bound together by their shared separation from former husbands and wives who are now openly gay.
The retreat culminates with the "letting go" tradition of gathering around a burning cauldron where marriage licenses, photographs, and feelings and memories recorded on pieces of paper are thrown into the flames.
As gays and lesbians win greater acceptance, an untold number of marriages have unraveled as once-closeted men and women have come out as gay or lesbian to their spouses and families. While much attention has been paid to the bravery involved in coming out, the ex-spouses say the difficulty of their own isolating passage goes unacknowledged.
This year could present a tipping point for gay marriage in America. Later this month the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a challenge to the U.S. Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 law that restricted federal recognition of marriage to heterosexual couples. Meanwhile, nine states have legalized same-sex marriage, and advocates say Minnesota, Rhode Island and Illinois could go the same route this year.
In 1996, Kathy Callori confronted her husband of 28 years: "We both know something's wrong, and I want to know what it is." In the course of a long, tearful conversation, he said he was gay.
"It's devastating news to hear, but I wanted to believe that we could still work this out somehow," said Callori, who is now the director of the Straight Spouse Network.
She and her former husband remain close, and she still does bookkeeping at his small firm. He declined to be interviewed.
At first, Callori struggled to find a sympathetic ear. In group therapy, she resented being encouraged to cut off ties with a man she had known since she was a teenager and the father of her children. Continued...

These are the real deal, folks. You can tell by the signature striped lining, spade gem and the fact that they say "Kate Spade" and not "Kate Spode." They may not be two for $10, but isn't the comfort of knowing there's most likely not a stash of cocaine sewn into the liner worth the price?

BIG MACHINE RECORDS, home to Country Superstars such as Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw has teamed up in a joint venture with MÖTLEY RECORDS and ELEVEN SEVEN MUSIC for the summer 2014 release of a Country Music Tribute To MÖTLEY CRÜE.

When manager Chris Nilsson called with the idea for a tribute album on Big Machine Records it was an immediate 'yes' from me! Our album will highlight just how great the Motley Crue song catalog is. At the end of the day, that's what will stand the test of time."
Motley Crue will be headed to Birmingham August, 15 for their Final Tour.

[1]Title to be discussed: Skipping Christmas [1], by John Grisham. Date of meeting: Tuesday, Dec. 10, 6:30pm. Summary: "Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That's just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they'll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty; they won't be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash; they aren't even going to have a tree. They won't need one, because come December 25 they're setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But, as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences--and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined."

25-Man Roster Dissection: Glen Perkins
Besides Joe Mauer, who was the first profile, Glen Perkins was the only other 2014 Twins All-Star. This year will mark his ninth year with time at the big league level and his second as the full-time closer. Minnesota's bullpen might be the strongest part of the roster and it starts and ends with their 9th inning man.
2013 Recap: 2.30 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, 77 SO, 15 BB, 36 saves (62.2 IP)
Minnesota thrust Perkins into the full-time closer role for 2013 following a year where he split time with Matt Capps. Perkins' strong performance at the end of 2012 proved he was ready for a more important role. In 2013, Perkins would set many personal highs in his first All-Star season. His 2.30 ERA was a career low along with having a WHIP under 1.00 for the first time. He set a career high by striking out 11.1 batters per nine innings. In the first half of the season, batters hit .172/.221/.262 with 47 SO over 34.2 innings. His numbers could have looked even better if the Twins had been on the winning side of games on a more frequent basis.
Forecasting 2014: 2.70 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 75 SO, 20 BB, 31 saves (65.0 IP)
It would be tough for Perkins to match his numbers from 2013. His ERA was ridiculously low and batters averaged 6.2 hits per nine against him. In the second half of the season, batters seemed to catch up to Perkins a little as opponents batting average increased by 55 points and their OPS jumped over 175 points. All of those things could signal a couple steps back for Perkins in 2014. He will still be the anchor of the Twins bullpen, one of the team's biggest strengths. Perkins will still be one of the best relief arms in the American League and he could be one of the team's representatives when the All-Star Game is played at Target Field.
25-Man Roster Safety: Locked-In

Dear Jon: Casino Card Rooms can't just pop up in Strip Malls
The industry is highly regulated
Casino card rooms are limited in California by the state and city ordinances. I received an email that suggested that card rooms and casino's are showing up in strip malls around the central coast. Cali wrote to me and asked, "Dear Jon, how can casinos and card rooms legally pop up all over the place?"
Card rooms and casinos can't just legally pop up all over the place. With over 90 card rooms in California it's very easy to find out which are legitimate state licensed card rooms are which are not. Do an internet search for the California Gambling Control Commission website. If you click 'gaming' on the menu bar and then click the link for a Google map of state licensed card rooms, you can see where they are located on the central coast. You'll see just 13 licensed card rooms from Santa Cruz to Ventura.
If they don't show up here they're not legit. This form of gaming is an intersection of state and local laws. A card room must have a gaming license from the state and its employees have to have valid gaming work permit to work in a card room. This permit is issued by the state.
Cities generally have an ordinance that regulates card rooms. They typically coordinate with the city council and the police department to draft the ordinance. Along with this effort, the state limits the number of tables that are allowed in a licensed card room. Most incorporated cities are only allowed one card room.
So if you see a business that pops up in a strip mall that looks like a casino, perhaps with computer gaming, chances are its not legit and you can call city code enforcement to have them check it out. Cities typically don't allow establishments that allow patrons to come in and use a computer to game.

Geiger: Does a moral hierarchy exist on religions today? Are some a greater force for good in the world than others or are they essentially moral equivalents? As your book subtitle read, 'God poisions everything.'
Hitchens: Well, should I start with the 'poisons everything?' Perhaps I should. Ok, I'll ask for trouble if I put on a provocative subtitle, but I mean by it, not of course it poisons Chinese food or tantric sex or Niagara falls or something but it does attack us in our deepest integrity. It says we wouldn't know right from wrong if it wasn't for divine permission. It immediately makes us, essentially, slaves. And it has to be opposed for that reason. And such a radical frontal attack on human dignity, it seems to me, that it does leach into everything. And it has the effect of making good people say and do wicked things. For example, a morally normal person when presented with a new baby would not set about its genitals with a sharp stone or a knife. He would have to think God needed that. No, it wouldn't occur to him otherwise. It make intelligent people say stupid things, commits them to saying stupid things such as they are objects of a divine design. As well as being stupid, very conceited by the way. They claim believers to be so modest. That's what I mean by the poison. And because of that, I do tend to think it applies in general. My younger daughter goes to a Quaker school in Washington, the same one as the president's children. ... There was a time when the Quakers ran the most sadistic prisons in North America and were fond of excommunicating people for the smallest things such as supporting the American Revolution, for example. If they'd been more powerful, they might have been worse. ... any surrender of reason in favour of faith contains the same danger it seems to me. Fluctuates over time. Before, I've been asked in the 1930s what I thought was the most dangerous religion I almost certainly would have said Roman Catholicism because of its then pretty much undisguised alliance with the Fascist parties in Europe, for which it has not yet succeeded in apologizing enough, in my opinion. But has, least admitted it was true. It was very dangerous then. I now think obviously, or rather self-evidently, Wahabbi fundamentalist Islam and its equivalents in messianic Shiism , the Shia equivalent of that Sunni theory, practice, are as dangerous especially because they could get a hold of weapons, or a weapon of mass destruction. So we would find out, with a little speculation, we used to have after lights out when we were young, what would really happen if a really wicked person got a hold of a nuclear bomb and now we're going to find out. When the messianic meets the apocalyptic, watch out.
Geiger: So, in a highly globalized world, religious systems are very much in the mix. Can religion at least provide common values and ethical foundation. Obviously, there's differences but is there some sort of root?
Hitchens: Religion can't provide that. Moral values come from innate human solidarity. They're the values we need, have needed to survive as a species. Knowing we have responsibilities to other people, for example, knowing that certain types of behaviour are worse than antisocial. Religion, to an extent believes that, but it doesn't always. It takes it from us. No, it couldn't provide it. All it could do is lay claim to it, a claim that I would deny. And because it's not in the nature of faith to be really universal -- it's quite extraordinary the number of claims that are made by people of faith to be the holders of the only faith, It's not enough for them to say they believe in God, or get values from it, they have to say God revealed to us. And the wars of religion alone would be enough to negate this claim. .... also to show what we already know, that religion is manmade. So it's one of our artefacts, along with, fortunately with, genuine humanistic morality. And I think it's essential to choose between the two.Report Typo/Error

Battle of Mount Harriet
The Battle of Mount Harriet was an engagement of the Falklands War, which took place on the night of 11/12 June 1982 between British and Argentine forces. It was one of three battles in a brigade-size operation on the same night.
The British force consisted of 42 Commando (42 CDO), Royal Marines under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Nick Vaux's Royal Marines (he later became a general) with artillery support from a battery of 29 Commando Regiment, Royal Artillery. The 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards (1WG) and two companies from 40 Commando (40 CDO) were in reserve. HMS Yarmouth provided naval-gunfire support for the British forces. The Argentine defenders consisted of Lieutenant Colonel Diego Soria's 4th Infantry Regiment (RI 4).
On the night of 30 May, K Company of 42 CDO boarded three Sea King helicopters and moved forward of San Carlos to secure the commanding heights of Mount Kent—at 1,504 feet, the tallest of the peaks surrounding Stanley—where the D Squadron SAS Troops had already established a strong presence. However, when they arrived at their landing zone, some 3 kilometres (2 miles) behind the ridge of the mountain, the Marines were surprised to see the flashes and lines of tracer ammunition lighting up the night.
After a fierce fight at close quarters, the Argentine patrol (Captain Tomas Fernandez' 2nd Assault Section, 602 Commando Company) melted away from the boulders and snow-soaked scrub and grass. By the end of May, Major Cedric Delves' D Squadron had gained Mount Kent, and Tactical HQ commenced patrolling Bluff Cove Peak, which they took with the loss of two wounded.[2]
The attack was preceded by many days of observation and nights of patrolling. Some night-fighting patrols were part of a deception plan to convince the Argentinians that the attack would come from a westerly direction. Other, more covert, patrols were to find a route through a minefield around the south of Mount Harriet. Sniping and naval artillery were used to harass the defenders and deny them sleep.
On 3 June, Lieutenant Chris Marwood's Reconnaissance Troop of 42 CDO, accompanying the 3 Commando Brigade Forward Air Control team commanded by Flight Lieutenant Dennis Marshall-Hasdell, encountered an RI 4 fighting patrol (Second Lieutenant Lautaro Jiménez Corbalán's 3rd Platoon of B Company from Mount Harriet).[3] The Recce Troop opened fire and two conscripts (Privates Celso Paez and Roberto Ledesma) were instantly killed, and an NCO (Corporal Nicolas Odorcic) went down, concussed when shot in the helmet by one of the Marine snipers.[4]
This action drew attention to their exposed forward position, and Argentine reinforcements in the form of Second Lieutenant Marcelo Llambías Pravaz's 3rd Platoon from Two Sisters joined the action with a general counterattack.[5] The Primary Forward Air Controller, commando-trained Flight Lieutenant Dennis Marshal-Hasdell, remembers:
We were separated from our heavy bergens with the radios and all our gear. The patrol was spread over quite a large area, with lots of shouting, noise and firing going on. The Marines abandoned all their equipment, and although no one told us, it became clear that we were to withdraw. With no information, and the likelihood of having to fight our way out, Dave Greedus and I decided to abandon our equipment, destroying as much as we could. The two radio sets (HF and UHF) were tough enough, but the HAZE unit of the laser target marker was designed to withstand the weight of a tank![6]
The laser target designator retrieved in the contact showed that the Royal Marines were seeking to destroy the Argentine bunkers on Mount Harriet with 1,000-pound GBU-16 Paveway II dropped by RAF Harriers. The next day, 10 (Defence) Troop re-occupied the Mount Wall observation post against no opposition.[7]
On 8 June crack reinforcements arrived in the form of machine-gunners and mortarmen from the 1st 'Patricios' Infantry Regiment and Regiment of Mounted Grenadiers to support the 4th Infantry Regiment.[8]On the night of 8–9 June, action on the outer defence zone flared when Lieutenant Mark Townsend's 1 Troop (K Company, 42 CDO) probed Mount Harriet, killing two Argentines (Corporal Hipolito Gonzalez and Private Martiniano Gomez) from Second Lieutenant Jiménez Corbalán's 3rd Platoon.[9]At the same time, two platoon-size fighting patrols from 45 Commando attempted the same on Two Sisters Mountain, but the Argentine RASIT ground surveillance radar on Mount Longdon was able to detect the 45 Commando platoons, and artillery fire dispersed the force.
Around dusk on 9 June, the Soria's men detected the presence of British troops that had taken up positions in a house on the southern approaches to Mount Harriet. The 4th Regiment's Reconnaissance Platoon under Sub-Lieutenant Jorge Pasolli received instructions to move forward and clear the British from Port Harriet House and the Scots Guards Reconnaissance Platoon that had moved into the area was forced to vacate the building when the Argentines radioed in mortar fire from 120-mm Mortar Platoon on Mount Harriet. The Scots Guards were forced to disengage and retreated to North Basin under heavy small arms and mortar fire that wounded three men including Sergeant Ian Allum.
Over a period of a week, the 4th Regiment defended the Harriet-Two Sisters sector from five Royal Marine platoon-size attacks. Every time the Royal Marine Commandos got into the forward platoon positions, the officers, NCOs and conscripts, in general, counterattacked with rifles and cleared them out.
On the morning of 11 June, the orders for the attack were given to 42 CDO by Vaux; K Company was ordered to attack the eastern end of the mountain, while L Company would attack the southern side an hour later, where it—if the mountain was secured—would then move north of Mount Harriet to Goat Ridge. J Company would launch a diversionary attack (code named Vesuvius) on the western end of Mount Harriet.
In the closing hours of 11 June, K and L Companies moved from their assembly area on Mount Challenger (which lay to the west of Mount Harriet) and made their way south, around their objective, across the minefield, to their respective start lines. As they moved around the feature in the dark, J company launched their very loud diversionary "attack" from the west.
The battle for Mount Harriet began on the evening of 11 June with a blistering naval bombardment that killed two Argentines and wounded twenty-five.[10] John Witheroe, one of the British war correspondents, later recalled the softening up fire:
We were involved with one night attack on Mount Harriet, when the Welsh Guards were coming up as a back-up. This involved marching for several hours on a very dark night, through a minefield. Sporadic shellfire slowed our progress tremendously. Eventually we made the base of Mount Harriet, which was coming under incredible fire from a frigate off shore. The whole mountain seemed to erupt in flame. It seemed impossible that anybody could survive an attack like that. This went on for well over an hour, shell after shell whistling over our heads and hitting the mountain. Eventually this was lifted and the Marines went in. To our amazement, there seemed to be an incredible amount of fighting going on. There was a lot of tracer fire. The whole night was being lit up by flares, which cast a dead, unrealistic, pall over the whole scene.
The Argentines retaliated and the Artillery Observation Officer on Mount Kent, Captain Tomás Fox, directed 155mm artillery rounds that fell among the men of 'B' Company, 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles in the area of Bluff Cove, seriously wounding three Gurkhas, including Lance Corporal Gyanendra Rai who nearly bled to death. Describing the moment he was injured, Rai, who was awarded the South Atlantic Medal, said: "I was absolutely convinced I would die. I was in severe pain. It was like someone had driven a four-pound sledge hammer through the side of my back."[12]
Captain Peter Babbington's K Company crossed their start line first and proceeded up the mountain undetected, knifing two sentries on the way. They remained undetected until they approached Sub-Lieutenant Mario Juarez' 120-mm Mortar Platoon positions and decided to engage them. They were assisted in the advance by HMS Yarmouth, artillery, and mortars. During the engagement, Corporal Laurence G Watts was killed. The supporting British artillery batteries and mortar crews fired over 1,000 rounds to keep the Argentines pinned down, and helped stop the defenders getting a proper aim at the Royal Marines.[13]
About 150 metres from Soria's HQ, Corporal Steve Newland circled behind a group of Argentines (under First Lieutenant Jorge Alejandro Echeverria, the 4th Regiment's intelligence officer) who were setting up an ambush. Although half a dozen Argentines and a MAG were placed to engage anyone who broke cover, Newland darted out from under cover to charge the enemy machine gun. He grenaded two of the crew, but reaching the rear of the machine gun position, he was shot through both legs.
With the enemy machine gun out of action, Corporals Mick Eccles and Sharky Ward were able to clear the position with some help from Marine Barnett. The three corporals were awarded the Military Medal and Barnett the MID. Increasing numbers of Argentine soldiers, mainly conscripts from RI 4's Recce Platoon, began to surrender, but the Commanding Officer and Intelligence Officer and several senior NCOs still fought on, according to their orders. The heavy machine gun teams, in general, stood in their positions continuing the fight.[14]
L Company crossed their start line shortly after K Company and were almost immediately engaged by effective machine gun fire from Sub-Lieutenant Pablo Oliva's platoon defending the lower southern slopes. These weapons would not be silenced until being hit by several MILAN anti-tank missiles and six 105mm artillery guns from Mount Challenger.[15][16]The L Company Marines took 5 hours to advance 600 metres in the face of stiff resistance[17][18]and contend they took fire from at least seven machine guns that wounded five men, including the company's second-in-command and a signaller. Hugh Bicheno contends that the 4th Regiment's passive night goggles were all with B Company.[19]
Before first light, Lieutenant Jerry Burnell's 5 Troop of L Company proceeded to an outcrop of rocks towards Goat Ridge. As they advanced, the Royal Marine platoon came under heavy fire from Second Lieutenant Jiménez Corbalán 3rd Platoon, covering the Argentinean retreat and were forced to withdraw under cover of machine guns pre-positioned behind them and further up the hill.[20]The Troop took one casualty in this action. L Company requested mortar fire onto the Argentines; a mixture of HE and WP; then 5 Troop moved forward again. They took 3 prisoners although most of Jiménez-Corbalán men had withdrawn after losing two killed in the night fighting (Privates Juan José Acuña and Carlos Epifanio Casco). The platoon of Oscar Augusto Silva continued to resist from Goat Ridge throughout the morning of 12 June, and a determined conscript, in a position just below the summit of Mount Harriet held up L Company with accurate shooting until killed by an 84mm anti-tank rocket fired at short range.[21] At some time in the early morning darkness, as Sub-Lieutenant Jiménez Corbalán's 3rd platoon was making its way to new positions on Mount William, the officer was temporarily blinded when he set off a booby-trap while leading his men through a minefield.
The battle was a textbook example of good planning and use of deception and surprise, and a further step towards the main objective of Stanley. Two Royal Marines: Corporal Laurence G Watts and Acting Corporal Jeremy Smith were killed, and thirty were wounded, including fourteen wounded in L Company.[22]Another six Scots Guards and Gurkhas were wounded by Argentine artillery and mortar fire controllers on Mount Harriet. Eighteen Argentines were killed defending Mount Harriet, including those killed in the earlier patrol battles and softening up bombardments. Lance Corporal Koleszar had the surprising experience of finding that two 'dead' Argentine soldiers, whose boots he was trying to remove, were very much alive and jumped up to surrender. Some British reporters were thus misled into depicting the Argentineans as hapless teenage conscripts who caved in after the first shots were fired, but Royal Marine Warrant Officer 2 John Cartledge, who served with L Company during the battle, corrected them, saying the Argentines were good soldiers who had fought properly:
They used the tactics which they had been taught along the way very well, they were quite prepared for an attack. They put up a strong fight from start to finish. They were also better equipped than we were. We had first generation night sights, which were large cumbersome pieces of equipment, while the Argentines had second-generation American night sights that were compact and so much better than what we had. The one deficiency which we exposed was that they had planned for a western end of the mountain attack and therefore had not bothered to extend their defensive positions to the eastern end, where we ultimately attacked.[23]
One British general put their success down to his Marines' skill and professionalism:
What was needed was speed but not being bloody stupid. The Israelis would have done it much faster, but with many more casualties.[24]
42 Commando captured 300 prisoners on Mount Harriet, and for the bravery shown in the attack, the unit was awarded one DSO, one Military Cross, four Military Medals, and eight men were mentioned in dispatches.[25]

RMV Urges Customers: Renew Online
MassDOT RMV is again urging eligible drivers to renew their licenses online.
The number of license renewals is expected to increase by 50 percent beginning in November and continue at higher levels for the months thereafter.
November is the beginning of a five-year license renewal cycle that began in 1991, replacing the previous four-year cycle. The result of that change is one year every five years with a reduced number of license renewals. That lower volume year ends as of November 1, and transactions will increase. The RMV has responded by launching a publicity campaign through Highway Division billboards and public service announcements at the MBTA to urge drivers to check their license expiration dates and renew online.
The goal of the campaign is to let the public know that approximately 50% percent of drivers are eligible to renew their license online and avoid a branch visit. It also reminds customers that they can renew their licenses up to one year before the expiration date that falls on their birthday.
The RMV's online renewal application asks customers a series of questions. Customers eligible to renew online can pay the required fee and their license will be mailed to them in 7-10 business days. The online application also helps customers that aren't eligible to renew via the Internet. The web transaction informs customers 75 years or older that they must renew at a branch, in accordance with the 2010 Safe Driving Law. It also informs customers if they owe parking tickets or excise bills that have to be paid in order to renew. Customers that are required to renew in a branch can complete and print the web application to save time during their visit.
Customers not able to renew online should plan ahead and check branch locations and wait times online. To help prepare for the expected increase in customers, RMV recently expanded its hours at some of its busiest branches. The RMV website allows customers to check branch wait times and locations.
Safe Routes to School: Lexington
MassDOT joined students, parents, and city and school officials this week at Lexington's Bowman Elementary School for a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the completion of access and safety improvements as part of the Safe Routes to School Program that will better enable children to walk or bicycle to school.
Bowman Elementary School is one of more than 400 schools in over 120 communities partnering with MassDOT's Safe Route to School Program to work with students, parents, school staff, and local police to promote walking and bicycling to school, thereby improving student health, traffic congestion, and air quality. Schools that partner with MassDOT are eligible for federal funding to build infrastructure projects specifically targeted at helping children get to school safely and conveniently
The Bowman Elementary School project includes steps to slow vehicle traffic, manage street crossings, and improve sidewalk conditions. Specific enhancements include new sidewalks and curbing along Philip Road, Lantern Lane, Dawes Road, Buckman Drive, and Pleasant Street. A half-mile of new sidewalks have been built and are now open for public use.
MassDOT's on-call team of school engineers, planners, and bicycle/pedestrian experts plan, design, and build targeted infrastructure improvements that enhance access to elementary and middle schools, analyzing current travel patterns and conditions and safety problems in working with school officials, parents, and community leaders to design and construct enhanced pedestrian and bicycle access to schools.
Safe Routes to School is federally-funded and administered by the MassRIDES travel options program on behalf of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. To find out how your school can participate, contact Rebecca Cyr at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.mass.gov/massdot/saferoutes.
MassDOT Board November Public Meeting
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation Board of Directors will hold its next regular public business meeting on Wednesday, November 2, 1:00pm, MBTA Board Room, Suite 3910, State Transportation Building, Boston.
The MBTA Board will meet first at 1pm, followed by the MassDOT Board. All meetings are open to the public. The meeting schedule is available on the MassDOT website.

Pontardawe Folk Festival 1989. Not a well-known summer destination, but for me, a 19-year-old student, an excellent alternative to two weeks with my parents in a caravan in Devon. With hindsight, the latter option should have been relished.
I piled into a banana yellow 2CV with two boyfriends, purely platonic, honestly mum. Finbar and Seamus (names changed) were going through a pseudo-hippy phase and had sold this event to me as the next best thing to Glastonbury - and we could afford it.
We arrived after three hours of country lanes in a dark, rainy field near a South Wales leisure centre. I noted the over-representation of beards and legs with bells on them. The tent was pitched and we went off in search of entertainment.
Fuelled by large quantities of real ale, we happened upon a ceilidh in the atmospherically decked-out badminton court. At least it was dry in there.
By this time, Seamus had drunkenly cleared off to find his girlfriend - which had the effect of confirming her doubts over whether to turn lesbian. She did, rapidly. Finbar, I realised with panic, seemed to have decided that what I needed was a five-foot-three, prematurely balding, aspiring morris dancer as my new love interest. As midnight loomed, the lights went up just as Finbar was being lavishly sick all over the tramlines. I then realised that the Pontardawe Folk festival was very much a family event, as mums, tots and grandparents stared in disgust.
The next morning Finbar disappeared, having spent all night with his head in the rain as his torso was the only part of him we would permit inside the tent. He finally reappeared six hours later and we drove back home in silence. The next year I raised my sights. Glastonbury, minus Finbar, was worth the extra investment, even when we had to pitch the tent on top of a cowpat as there was no room anywhere else. Bliss.

Representative Nan Hayworth on the Debt Ceiling
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on the Brian Lehrer Show, Nan Hayworth, Congress Member (R-NY-19) discusses the battle in Congress over raising the debt ceiling.
President Obama has put the country on notice—Social Security and other government checks may not be issued three weeks from now if the debt ceiling isn't raised
The federal government has committed to spend more than it will take in. If the government cannot raise the debt ceiling by August 2, the U.S. faces possibly defaulting for the first time ever on its national debt. The president yesterday said unless there is resolution, checks for Social Security, disability and veterans benefits might not go out as scheduled.
Congressional republicans want trillions of dollars in long-term spending cuts in exchange for raising the ceiling, with no new taxes or tax-code changes. Rep. Nan Hayworth agrees with that stance. She called the president's language last night "troubling."
He is essentially trying to strike fear into the hearts of Americans who should be reassured that all of us who care about the soundness of our approach to debt and deficit would certainly honor the obligations that we have to our seniors, to our veterans, and of course, to paying our sovereign debt.
Hayworth anticipates that the president and congress will reach an agreement before default happens. She believes that the debt ceiling does need to be raised, but responsibly.
Responsibly means that we need to have at least dollar-for-dollar spending cuts for every dollar by which we raise the debt ceiling, and that we cannot include new taxes. Those are counter-productive. Revenues will grow organically when we allow Americans to reenter the workforce.
Hayworth finds it odd that President Obama has stated that he understands that increasing taxes will not improve the economy, yet he still wants to do it. She believes "he'll come around."
The president has said that closing some tax loopholes would not hurt the economy and would, in fact, be beneficial. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell seems to agree that default is an option, while GOP Senator Jim DeMint has said that even if that deadline doesn't get met, the United States would not immediately default. DeMint said Secretary Geitner has been irresponsible to suggest that the country would default
Hayworth agreed that Geitner was irresponsible.
I agree with Senator DeMint that Secretary Geitner and the president should not make such threats, there's no question. But I also agree that we would need to prioritize.. the obligations that are critical.
Mayor Bloomberg has said a default would have "a catastrophic effect" here in New York. Hayworth agrees, and thinks a "flatter, fairer" tax code is necessary. She took issue with House Speaker John Boehner's negotiations with the president regarding closing tax loopholes. Hayworth said loopholes are created as a way to evade the high corporate taxes here in the United States, and that rather than closing loopholes, the government must lower the taxes.
Otherwise we are increasing the net burden on our enterprise economy… We don't want to have a jolt that takes working capitol out of the economy that desperately needs it.
Hayworth believes that the United States should be "prudently reducing" military obligations, given the current economic fragility, and said that she opposed funding intervention in Libya. Referring to the two wars that Congress allowed President Bush to fund off-budget, through borrowing, the congresswoman said both parties have made mistakes, but looking back is not constructive.
Both parties have done things or undertaken obligations that were unwise either at that time or in retrospect, but I would certainly contend that the Libyan engagement is one that we have to look at now…It's not productive for us to try to retrograde. Clearly, I would not—knowing what I know about Iraq—I would not have voted to support that intervention, but that is not relevant to our current situation except in so far as we view these current military expenditures within the current budget.
A caller from Brooklyn asked Rep. Hayworth what proof there is that tax cuts cause job creation, particularly given that after President Obama continued the Bush tax cuts, no jobs were created. While Hayworth has said that she believes tax cuts will create more revenue for the federal government, that belief flies in the face of a statement from former Reagan budget director David Stockman, who said that was never true. Stockman said that except for in the case of very specific small categories, cutting taxes is actually a strategy for "starving the beast" — curtailing the revenue available for the federal government to administer programs unpopular with conservatives.
Hayworth answered that the federal government's spending is a part of the economy.
The multiplier effect of a dollar spent by the private economy is greater than that of a dollar spent by the federal government, and certainly those of us who have experienced the work of bureaucracies can recognize this intuitively. You don't make the economy productive by cycling dollars through a bureaucracy.
She said only two interventions can stop an economic crisis, cutting taxes or cutting spending. She also thinks progressive taxation is harmful.
The closer we bring our tax structure to being flat, the better we'll all be... When you have a flatter structure, when you have more of us participating in the federal revenue collection, if you will... then those who may earn more will save and invest more, and that's what we want.
While the current system of mortgage interest deductions is neither progressive not flat but regressive, Hayworth does not agree that flattening the deduction system without changing the tax code is a good idea.
I want to see no net tax increases, we can't afford it…. Federal government never manages to collect more than nineteen percent of gross domestic product in taxes anyway. People ill do things to avoid tax burdens. Lets get them investing in the active economy.

Maryland's Eastern Shore is known for vast soybean and corn farms, but if Patrick Kangas had his way it would be covered in slime.
Kangas, a researcher at the University of Maryland, helped create a system that uses fields of slimy algae to clean up the Chesapeake Bay by removing pollutants from agricultural wastewater.
Typically, algae hurt the bay because they contribute to dead zones, oxygen depleted areas harmful to aquatic life. But by growing fields of algae in a controlled system, the tiny plants can clean water while creating a feedstock for biofuel.
"We're really just taking what happens in nature and controlling it and channeling into the kinds of ways that we want to use the algae essentially to work for us," Kangas said.

Target: Fairview Park Wetlands and Riparian Habitat Project
Goal: Congratulate the project on the successful effort to restore 37 acres of wetlands that were thought lost to pollution and urban runoff
Amidst the concrete jungles of southern California, an unlikely team of activists, city planners, biologists, and engineers are paving—and planting—the way to a more sustainable future. The city of Costa Mesa has recently completed an ambitious project to turn a 37-acre expanse of weeded wasteland into lush, thriving ecosystem of wetlands engineered to double as a filtration system for the city's harmful urban runoff.
The revamped Fairview Park, once a neglected lot along the banks of the Santa Ana River, began five years ago as a simple project of the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps took up the task of restoring a section of the park to compensate for the damage wreaked by a nearby construction site. Their work was followed by the actions of a coalition of nonprofit agencies and activists, consolidating the resources to begin a massive project of restoring natural wetlands that graced the park's shores nearly three million years ago.
Today the park has restored the habitat of 25 native species of plants and animals, including several rare species of bird whose future in the region had previously been uncertain. In addition, the project's creative engineers have incorporated a modern touch into this primordial paradise: a unique water treatment system that utilizes the wetlands' natural filtration power to cleanse urban runoff into the river. With a combination of pumps, ponds and gravity, their design allows polluted water to be cleansed by flowing through the plants and soil of the park. It is estimated that over 40 million gallons of runoff will run through this system every year, preventing harmful chemicals such as nitrates and metals from polluting the river and nearby ocean.
Fairview Park represents an ideal long sought by advocates of conservation and sustainability that realizes a seamless fusion of urban spaces with natural outdoor ecosystems. Sign this petition to praise the Fairview Park Wetlands and Riparian Habitat Project for its outstanding achievement.
Dear Fairview Park Wetlands and Riparian Habitat Project,
Congratulations on the completion of your monumental effort to restore the treasured wetland ecosystem at Fairview Park. Your achievement stands as a bright example of dedication and creativity in conservation management, and your vision points to a hopeful future in which cities and nature can thrive together.
The thriving wetland habitat now in place in Fairview Park will serve as a much-needed haven for a variety of cherished native species. More remarkable, however, are the benefits this park will reap for the city of Costa Mesa. Through the ingenuity of your planners and engineers, you have found a way to use the natural wetland environment to solve the modern problems of local polluted runoff into the ocean, a feat that will improve the quality of life far beyond your own city. Your completed work is truly impressive, and I thank you for it.
While modernity threatens to cause harm to natural environments around the world, you have found a way to make these forces work together for the benefit of all. Congratulations on your park's completion, and thank you for your outstanding contribution.
[Your Name Here]

Slippery elm and puppy dosage?
1 Attachment(s)
Hi guys! Atti went all day yesterday with super cannon butt and needed to go out every 30 minutes, whether he actually went or not, he felt like he needed to. The last time he had tummy problems and we tried canned pumpkin, it didn't seem to make things better at all. Going through tummy problems threads I see slippery elm pop up often. Where do you find it and what is the dosage? He's 3 months and 3 weeks old weighs around 36 pounds.
I didn't feed him last night or this morning, he ate his lunch around 2 yesterday. Any ideas or recommendations would be awesome!
I would give him one capsule about 45 minutes before each meal.

You should be able to get it at any health food store, or places like the Vitamin Shoppe. I looked, and there are two locations in Atlanta. Numerous online sources too.
I really like slippery elm for both animals and humans.
Hopefully, your pup isn't on any medications, but if he is, you'll want to give slippery elm a couple of hours before the meds or a couple of hours after the meds so it won't interfere with absorption.
I get mine at a local health food store.
Hey sarah how is little atti doing nowadays ?
slippery elm will work to form the stool and to calm the irritation .

The victim of a "sudden, suspicious" death was discovered early Sunday morning in a run-down Oshawa home.
Durham Regional Police were called to the Celina St. residence just after midnight when a purported friend, who had dropped by for a visit, entered the home to discover the man's lifeless body.
Police have not released the name, identity or cause of death of the man, but he is reportedly in his 60s. Known to police as a centre of "drug-related" activity, neighbours reported that the house's yard was often strewn with condoms, needles or even passed out house guests.
Working out of mobile command posts, on Sunday homicide investigators pored through the house as officers swept the surrounding area with dogs and canvassed door-to-door for information.
National Post
