More than two-thirds (68 percent) of Jewish Americans say they will participate in a Passover Seder this year, a ritual feast that commemorates the story of the Exodus, in which the Israelites were emancipated from slavery in ancient Egypt. This Friday night after sundown, as they move through the Haggadah, the text that sets forth the order of the Seder, celebrants will read aloud the classic line: "Let all who are hungry come and eat; let all who are needy come and celebrate the Passover."
One of the most significant findings of the 2012 Jewish Values Survey, conducted by Public Religion Research Institute, is the centrality of a general commitment to social and economic equality, which upholds that specific text.
These values were present in direct questions about values that are essential to Jewish identity and political beliefs. They are also plainly visible in American Jews' opinions on a range of policy questions. When asked which single quality is most important to their Jewish identity, for example, nearly half (46 percent) of American Jews name a commitment to social equality-twice as many as cite support for Israel (20 percent) or religious observance (17 percent).
When asked which Jewish values were in important in shaping their political beliefs and activities, at least 8-in-10 cited "pursuing justice" (84 percent) and "caring for the widow and the orphan" as somewhat or very important in shaping their political identity. Tikkun olam, a Hebrew phrase that means "healing the world," and "welcoming the stranger," a central Jewish value woven throughout the Passover story, were only slightly less influential, with 72 percent of American Jews reporting that each value was somewhat or very important to their political beliefs and activity. A smaller majority (55 percent) also say that "seeing every person as made in the image of God" is somewhat or very important.
These values also appear in American Jews' opinions on a range of public policy issues, particularly economic policy. Two-thirds (64 percent) of American Jews agree that the government should do more to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. Although a majority (52 percent) of American Jews report that they would not be willing to pay more in taxes to fund federal programs that help the poor, a majority (52 percent) of Jews in the highest income category, those with household incomes of $125,000 a year or more, say that they would be willing to pay more taxes. And more than 8-in-10 American Jews favor a proposal commonly referred to as "the Buffett Rule," which would increase the tax rate on Americans earning more than $1 million a year.
This does not mean that American Jews are anti-wealth, nor are they anti-Wall Street. To the contrary, nine-in-ten say they admire people who get rich by working hard. More than 6-in-10 (62 percent) American Jews also believe that Wall Street makes an important contribution to the American economy.
The survey indicates, however, that Jewish Americans care deeply about whether economic opportunity is available to all. A strong majority (73 percent) – including strong majorities across all income categories – believe that the economic system in the U.S. favors the wealthy. Fewer than 4-in-10 (37 percent) say that the American Dream (the notion that if you work hard, you'll get ahead) still holds true, while 45 percent of American Jews believe that the American Dream once held true but does not hold true anymore, and 1-in-10 say it never held true.
Translating values into political beliefs and public life is a tricky business. Even though most American Jews agree that social justice forms an important basis for their political beliefs and actions, the Jewish community nevertheless contains significant demographic, political, and denominational differences, which the 2012 Jewish Values Survey report explores in greater detail. But it's clear that as most American Jews recline at Seder tables this Friday night, they will bring with them – and hear in the stories and songs of the Passover celebration – these commitments to social and economic equality.

i personally find the slide on style much better for grappling etc. I have MTG ones, the GnP ones are still in development but look identical to what i have, as are punchtown, hayabusa etc
i love Twins, Fairtex and Sandee gear (Windy, King and Boon too) but as i say i dont like that style of shin guard personally for grappling as well

Democrats Ask Drug Policy Office to Do More to Combat Opioid Epidemic
Twenty Democratic senators are asking the Office of National Drug Control Policy to do more to combat the opioid epidemic, according to the Associated Press.

The head of Colorado's medical-marijuana enforcement effort promises a comprehensive plan that other states could adopt as a model, the Washington Post reported July 25.
"We plan to track the entire commodity from seed to sale," said Matt Cook, senior director of enforcement at the Colorado Department of Revenue. "We will use a Web-based, 24-7 video surveillance system, and we will see virtually everything from the time a seed goes into the ground to the time the plants are harvested, cultivated, processed, packaged, stored."
Colorado's 2007 medical-marijuana law resulted in 1,100 dispensaries operating statewide and alarmed policymakers calling for the state to regain control on the program. New outlets have been barred from opening, and existing dispensaries will need to apply for licenses by Aug. 1.
Individuals with felony records will be prohibited from getting licenses, and the application calls for a detailed personal and professional history. Dispensaries will also have to pay thousands of dollars in licensing fees.
"I didn't find tough regulatory schemes out in any of the other states," Cook said. "The numbers of dispensaries they have are very limited. It is the most intensive period of work I have had at any point in my career."

The Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) has opened bidding for 3G concessions and has completed the first four rounds of bidding, ProPakistani writes. Bids have been entered for four blocks of spectrum, two of 2×5MHz and two of 2×10MHz, all in the 2100MHz range. After three rounds of bidding, the two smaller blocks (B and C) have not moved above the reserve price of USD147.5 million, whilst of the two larger blocks, block A had edged up to USD306.92 million from the base price of USD295 million, whilst block D had increased to USD300.9 million. Incumbent cellcos Mobilink, Telenor Pakistan, China Mobile Pakistan (CMPak/Zong) and Pakistan Telecommunications Mobile Ltd (PTML/Ufone) are competing for the spectrum rights, whilst Warid has elected not to participate in the auction. Bidding is due to continue until winners are determined, potentially extending the auction to a second or third day: ProPakistani cites unnamed cellco officials as saying that bidding is expected to carry on to a second day. Bidding for 4G concessions, meanwhile, will take place upon the completion of the 3G sale.
Marring the auction somewhat was an eleventh-hour bid to close down the tender, with a challenge filed with the Supreme Court shortly before the sale was due to begin. The petition, submitted by the Watan political party, claimed that the USD1.3 billion revenue targeted by the auction was far less than anticipated by the government and that the PTA were under-valuing the spectrum. Challenging the legality of the sale, the petition also alleged that the participating cellcos were defaulters on bank liabilities and that the auction had not followed the rules of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). The apex court dismissed the allegations, however, allowing the tender to go ahead as planned.

"Sweet. Alright," she continued as she pulled out her Skitty's Pokéball, "c'mon back Albion." He sat himself up, licking his burns and scratch wounds clean before he was zapped back into his digital home. Eli noticed the young man from before greeting her. He was finishing up a battle and about to walk over to her, only to get swarmed by a pair of Wurmple. She couldn't help but chuckle at this.
Elizabeth watched Geoff command his Pokémon, but both seemed pretty injured already from the previous battles. When they finished up, she approached him instead of making him do it.
"Impressive, Bug Squasher." When she finished her sentence, Albion came flying out of his Pokéball again, running around Geoff and his pair of Pokémon like his battle with Vex didn't faze him. He really was annoying, but that seemed to benefit him more than hurt Eli.

First look at Mid-Mon Valley football teams comes Saturday
Wondering how your favorite high school football team will look this season?
How will Monessen do without multi-talented quarterback Chavas Rawlins under center for the first time in three years?
Will Belle Vernon Area be able to replace the huge shoes of two-way standout lineman Dorian Johnson?
What will Year Two of the Charleroi Cougars under coach Ed Jenkins produce?
Will Ringgold rebound from a disappointing 4-6 campaign of a year ago that included losses in the Rams' final four games?
How will the new-look California Trojans be under their first-year coach, Bo Teets?
There are certainly a lot of questions that will have to answered this season and fans will get a chance to have an idea just what those answers are Saturday morning when the first of two organized scrimmages for high school teams are held.
In 10 a.m. matchups, Monessen hosts Jeannette and Frazier in a tri-scrimmage, Laurel Highlands is at Yough, McGuffey is at Elizabeth Forward and Bentworth hosts Wilkinsburg.
Taking to the road will be BVA, Ringgold, Charleroi and California.
BVA goes to Central Valley, Ringgold is at Baldwin, Charleroi travels to Beth-Center and California is at Jefferson-Morgan.
Fans aren't the only ones excited to get a first look at their teams going up against competition from another school.
Coaches are also anxious to see how well their teams have come together after the first week of camp.
"I think the guys are looking forward to hitting somebody with a different color helmet on," said Monessen's Andy Pacak. "After a week of going against each other, they are chomping at the bit to hit somebody else.
"And, as coaches, we are looking forward to seeing the players perform. There are still some jobs to be won."
The scrimmages for Charleroi, EF and California will mark the first time their fans will see the 2013 team in action. Charleroi and EF have just returned from spending the first week of camp away from home while Teets closed the first week of his team's practices.
Most of the scrimmages next week will take place under the lights on Friday evening.

Crizotinib (Xalkori) at a glance
Crizotinib (Xalkori) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor available as an oral capsule that is indicated for treatment of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is a targeted therapy because it inhibits specific molecules involved in the genesis of tumors.
When cancer develops, the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) pathway becomes an aberrant signaling pathway that stimulates tumor cell proliferation and growth. In individuals with ALK, a genetic biomarker, the overall 6-month response rate to crizotinib in one trial was 57 percent. Plus, the side effects appeared to be tolerable.
Mechanism of Action
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., and the risk of being diagnosed with lung cancer during your lifetime from
ages 20-60 is approximately 7 percent. NSCLC occurs in more than 85 percent of lung cancer based in 2009 data. A 50 percent, 5-year survival is likely if the cancer is limited to a primary tumor, whereas, there is a 3.7 percent, 5-year survival associated with metastatic disease.
NSCLC presents as a mass in the lung tissue but can metastasize to lymph nodes, brain or adrenal glands. A malignant pleural or pericardial effusion may also occur. In the event of recurrent or advanced disease, subsets of patients with NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology have a specific genetic mutation called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK).
ALK influences drug selection in treating the disease. Overall, the prevalence of the biomarker is relatively small. In individuals with the ALK gene arrangement, crizotinib received FDA approval for treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. A mutation causing drug resistance develops with continued use leading to treatment failure.
Dosage, Costs, Pharmacokinetics
Crizotinib is administered as 250 mg by mouth twice a day. The dose was continued for 28-day cycles in a clinical study, then patients were evaluated for response to therapy and side effects.
Patients should be directed to swallow the capsules whole. They should not open the capsules nor dissolve the contents. The drug can be taken with or without food. However, due to a drug-nutrient interaction, patients should avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice. The average wholesale cost for a 30-day supply is approximately $11,500.
Crizotinib oral capsules are absorbed slowly and reach a median time to peak of 4-6 hours. The bioavailability is 43 percent and ranges from 32-66 percent. Steady state is achieved in about 2 weeks (15 days). The drug is extensively bound to plasma proteins. It is metabolized in two-steps. First, it undergoes oxidation by cytochrome P450 3A4/5 and then undergoes conjugation.
Very little drug is found excreted in the urine. The drug dosing has not been studied in individuals with severe liver or kidney dysfunction. Studies in Asians demonstrated that they achieve higher steady-state plasma concentrations than non-Asians.
Drug Interactions & Side Effects
Crizotinib moderately inhibits hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and also P-glycoprotein enzymes and has the potential to increase plasma concentrations of other drugs. Also, crizotinib drug concentrations were elevated when given with ketaconazole, an azole antifungal and CYP inhibitor. Factors that may reduce drug concentrations of crizotinib include administration with CYP 3A inducers and drugs such as proton pump inhibitors, histamine2 blockers, and antacids. Patients did report reflux symptoms as a side effect of crizotinib so management may be challenging.
Two serious effects have been observed and include hepatic toxicity and pneumonitis, a drug-induced inflammatory lung process. Both side effects occur within months of starting crizotinib. Hepatoxicity occurred in < 1 percent of study patients and it is recommended that liver enzymes (ALT, AST, Alkaline phosphatase) and total bilirubin should be monitored monthly. Patients presenting with sudden change causing dyspnea or cough may indicate impending pneumonitis, which occurred in 1.6 percent of study patients. Diagnostic tests should be performed to differentiate pneumonitis versus lung cancer progression or infection.
The drug also prolongs the QT interval on the electrocardiogram, therefore, monitoring patients with cardiac arrhythmias or taking cardiac-acting drugs is necessary. Peripheral edema was also reported. Due to pharmacokinetic differences in Asians, special care should be taken to detect any potential for added toxicity.
Side effects resulting in drug discontinuation occurred in 3-6 percent of patients. Common gastrointestinal side effects were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. However, vision changes were reported such as double-vision and blurred vision; patients should be cautioned to avoid driving motor vehicles if vision is affected. A complete blood count should be ordered to detect bone marrow suppression, especially neutropenia.

The black veil that Rev. Mr. Hooper refuses to remove is the main symbol in this story. It is symbolic of many things. It is symbolic of death-which is happening to Hooper. It is also symbolic of mourning, possibly the mourning of the sins of mankind. Hooper himself explains that the black veil is symbolic of mankind's secrets that are hidden. There are many ways that the veil could be seen as symbolic.
Critics have suggested that the veil is symbolic of Original Sin or Hooper's pride.

Superfruits are a category of fruit than do more than carry a trace of a nutrient or two. Superfruits get their name because they are able to offer the user more than one benefit at the same time or a lot of just one, all from a single piece of fruit. One superfruit can offer a day's worth of Vitamin A while another superfruit may be good for boosting energy or may provide essential enzymes for a healthy body.
Breadfruit, Fruita De Pan (Artocarpus altilis)
A gluten-free source of high energy carbohydrates it is also relatively low on the glycemic scale. Yellow-fleshed varieties can be a good source of beta-carotene.
One cup of breadfruit contains more than 100% of the DRA for Vitamin C as well as good amounts of thiamin, niacin, Vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, and choline. It also contains significant amounts of minerals magnesium and potassium.
Amla is one of three fruits included in the popular remedy, "Triphala", a formula applied for digestive health.
Much of its health benefits were mistakenly attributed to vitamin C. However, further research has revealed that most varieties only contain trace amounts of vitamin C, if any. Instead, its main biological activity is attributable to the tannins.
Not only do its tannins have antioxidant properties, but studies on rats have shown that amla triggers the body's activation of its own antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase in the liver.
Acai (Euterpe oleracea)
Acai is known for it's high antioxidant level. Some researchers have questioned whether antioxidants in food actually survive digestion to fight free radicals in the body. However, a small clinical trial published in the September 2008 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed a short-term increase in the antioxidant capacity of participants' blood after consuming acai.
However, acai's antioxidant content does not tell the full story. In addition it contains omega fatty acids, protein, phytosterols, and vitamins A, C, and E.
Acai has been reported to boost energy and vitality as well as help on a number of health issues from skincare to cholesterol management. The claims for weight loss associated with acai have not been substantiated by any research.
Goji, Wolfberry (Lycium chinense)
Goji berries contain more beta-carotene than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges, as well as linoleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid, zeaxanthin, iron and polysaccharides that support probiotic health. Not only does goji score well on the antioxidants it brings with ingestion, but it also stimulates the body's production of its own antioxidants like the enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.

|To get the boots to fit Genesis, all you need to do is select Genesis, and then double click on the icon for the boots and they will fit to Genesis feet. There is nothing missing and no other files needed
|Wao-Tao (4 years ago)
|I only joined this site last night via having just started with DS4.6 and I downloaded a series of files all stating Genesis compatible, including these boots. All found their way to the correct folder and were visible where they should be in DS4.6, but when I tried to merge them into a new scene, every one of them got a 'file cannot be found' notice. Am I missing an add-on or something more …
|CHACORNAC (4 years ago)
|OK, thank you, it works! :o))
|Wilmap (4 years ago)
|OK, just found a solution. It's because of the type of Sub Division that is used in DS4.6. Got to Parameters and select Mesh Resolution/SubDivisionAlgorith and change to Catmull-Clarke (Legacy) this should make the spike disappear. Hope this works for you.

If the last two games are any indication, Mets fans may be able to breathe a small sigh of relief. John Maine took the mound Tuesday and improved on his last outing by pitching 5 2/3 innings and allowed only two runs.
Maine accumulated six hits, three strikeouts and one walk on his way to a win. The rest of the relievers didn't allow any more runs. Pedro Feliciano pitched a third of an inning and still hasn't given up an earned run.
Sean Green, Darren O'Day, JJ Putz and Francisco Rodriguez closed out the game by striking out six batters and allowing only two more hits. But there is a little concern with JJ Putz, who only pitched 2/3 of an inning before coming out due to a troublesome fingernail.
The Mets offense supported Maine with a four-run seventh inning and a two-run inside-the-park home run by Jonathan Malo in the eighth.
Among the offensive highlights of the evening were Carlos Delgado's 3-for-3 night, an RBI and a walk; Daniel Murphy and David Wright's combined four RBI; and Jose Reyes' stolen base, two hits and two runs.
The Mets next face the Cardinals in Jupiter, Fla., at 1:05 p.m. Wednesday. Johan Santana will take the mound.

The fifth game in Wadjet Eye's cult-favourite adventure game series, Blackwell, is coming to PC this autumn with Blackwell Epiphany.
Wadjet Eye president and CCO Dave Gilbert announced the game earlier today on the Adventure Games Studios forum, where he noted voice actors Rebecca Whittaker and Abe Goldfarb and will reprise their roles as paranormal investgator Rosa Blackwell and her nonchalant Rat Pack-era ghost detective partner Joey.
Epiphany will be the longest and darkest game in the series' history. "Each Blackwell game gets longer and more complex with each installment, and this one is no exception," Gilbert told IndieStatik. "It's also a LOT darker in many respects, and I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone more than I have before."
Check out the first screenshots of Blackwell Epiphany below.

Bender opens his safe marked 'Bender's Loot' some how from the inside where the door has no handle/combination on the inside.
All of the parents protesting Bender are fathers (or F.A.R.T.ers). Mothers, apparently, have no such issues with Bender.
The other kids at Cubert and Dwight's "cool party" are the same orphans that Bender adopted in The Cyber House Rules. There is also a Horrible Gelatinous Blob kid present, though it's presumably not Bret Blob (the blob who bullied Dwight and Cubert in Route of All Evil), unless they've patched up their differences since then.
Opening theme promotion: CONTROLLING YOU THROUGH A CHIP IN YOUR BUTT SINCE 1999
The human character on All My Circuits is named "Human Friend".
The CEO was an Apple; he was running what appeared to be Quicktime and the sound editing program that comes with new Apples.
Cigar names: Bender's Favorite, Benderillos, Bender Smokes.
Bender has a plug near his crotch plate when he was plugging in the TV. In the previous episode, he couldn't find a plug.
LOOK HARD: Studio Sign: TAPING IN PROGRESS: ALL WELCOME (WRITERS KEEP OUT).
In the audition room there is a poster of Zoidberg's uncle Harold Zoid on display.
When Hermes takes the 'Jamaciaan hand-rolled cigarette' away from the boys, it is still lit. Hermes stuffs it in his jacket pocket. You can briefly see smoke coming out of his suit, before it switches to the next scene.
eMotitron Junior has a mother who looks after him. This doesn't make sense, as robots aren't born. His mother is surely a big arm, not a humanoid robot.
I'm aware it's a mick-take, but wouldn't Macaulay Caul-con's hands being fixed to his face be really, really impractical for a robot?
When Antonio broke on set, why didn't they just make an identical robot instead of casting a different one?
Why does Calculon say "Great Shatner's ghost!" when Bill Shatner is still alive... At least we've seen him in Where no fan has gone before". Wouldn't that deprive him of the rightful ownership of such thing as a ghost.
Response: But we do know that everyone thinks the actors are looooong gone, so he probably believes Billy-Boy is dead.
Fry lives in Bender's closet, and he's seen sitting on the couch with the window behind him. Cubert, Dwight, and Tinny Tim then walk by carrying Bender's stuff heading in the direction of the window. Where are they going?
When Dwight smokes the cigar, his barf is a blue-green. When the fat kid (at the party) puffs at the cigar, his barf is brown.
Response: They must have eaten different things before they expelled their stomach contents.
Bender's lack of knowledge of Spanish in this episode is a goof considering Bender was built in Mexico, and has spoken Spanish (sometimes even with the correct accent!) in previous episodes.
Calculon doesn't recognize who Bender is - apparently, he has forgotten entirely about making "The Magnificent Three" with Bender, Zoidberg and Harold Zoid in 3ACV08, That's Lobstertainment!.
Bender: Hey, this is my stuff they stole. That's it! Bender should not be allowed on television! C'mon, were going all the way to Hollywood to protest!
(they board the Planet Express ship and fly to L.A.)
F.A.R.T. and Bender: Down with Bender! Down with Bender! Down with Bender! Down with Bender!
Bender: (to guard) This mob's with me.
Guard: Go right ahead.
(He lifts parking bar)
Bender and F.A.R.T: Down with Bender! Down with-
(Read sign that says "be quiet while light is on)(light turns off)
Bender and F.A.R.T: ...Bender!
Bender: Listen up, 'cause I've got a climactic speech! You, cameraman, keep the camera rolling. You, director, gimmie my motivation.
Director: You're angry.
Bender: Perfect. Viewers of the world, do smoking and drinking on TV really make me cool? Of course they do. How 'bout committing crimes and violence? Again, the answer is "yes." But do we really want our kids exposed to that kind of trash on TV? I say absolutely not! Uh...on the other hand, most - perhaps all the blame rests with the parents. That's right, you!
Farnsworth: There'll be no further nasty. We still have the option of resorting to violence.
Hermes: What makes you think that'll work?
Farnsworth: I saw it on TV in that episode where Bender shot Calculon! How cool is that?
Farnsworth: I'll tell you what. Our boys have taken up stealing! One of the worst and coolest of crimes.
Hermes: And all from watching you on TV you cool jerk.
Bender: Hey lay off me. TV would stink if everyone on it was a positive role model. Bender is about entertainment baby! You can't hold me responsible for what kids do when - hey! This is my stuff they stole! That's the last straw! Bender should not be allowed on television!
Hermes: There's enough cool stuff here to furnish a happenin' pad. Where did it all come from?
Tinny Tim: Don't tell, comrades.
Dwight: We stole it!
Tinny Tim: Oh, crumb!
Cubert: Relax Dad, we just invited a few friends over.
Farnsworth: Hmm. There's something wrong with your story but I can't put my finger on it... Of course! You don't have friends!
Leela: As unclean as it makes me feel, I agree with Bender. Kids don't turn rotten just from watching TV.
Fry: Yeah. Give a little credit to our public schools.
Farnsworth: Where did you learn such language?
Tinny Tim: From Bender, my good jerkwad.
Hermes: Bender, eh? That guy's really startin' to twist my dreads.
Cubert: Hey Dad, bite my shiny metal ass!
Farnsworth: What? Such an act would be most uncomfortable for both of us!
Calculon: Sir, children watch this show. Bender's no role model; he's a filth monger!
Network President: At our network, we love filth! Filthy rich, that is! Being filthy rich, that is! "Bite my shiny metal ass" could be a catchphrase.
Alphabot: 80% likely.
Director: Cut! That's the worst coma acting I've ever seen. I'll have to shoot it again.
Calculon: No! No, no, no I don't do two takes.
Director: But this guy was -
Calculon: Amateurs like you do two takes; I do one take. Print it; I'll be in my three storey trailer.
Calculon: Alas that mine only son should sink into an irreversible, permanent...coma.
Bender: Permanent? That's completely out of character for Antonio. I'm gettin' up.
Calculon: Curse the tragic wildebeast accident that -
Bender: Hey everyone! Antonio here but you can call me "Bender"! I got ants in my butt and I needs to strut.
Bender: Yo! I read the script and I think it would help my character's motivation if he was on fire.
Director: Uh, don't worry 'bout the script baby, we re-wrote your part to better suit your acting abilities.
Bender: So now my character has a British accent?
Director: No, now your character's in a coma. Get in bed and don't move. And...action!
Bender: Stupid dumb coma...coulda been British.
Calculon: That was so terrible I think you gave me cancer!
Casting Director: Have you ever been on TV before?
Bender: Once, when I took those hostages.
Calculon: I saw that! You were good.
Casting Director: In this scene, you've just found out your real father is Calculon's fourth evil identical septuplet, Sleazy Martinez.
Fry: Psst. There's that robot child actor who grew up and robbed a convenience store!
Leela: And there's that robot child actor who grew up and became a convenience store!
Bender: An open casting call for child robots? Tinny Tim? Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Tinny Tim: What's that sir?
Bender: That I, Bender, am perfect for the role!
Tinny Tim: You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly sir!
Morbo: Welcome to Entertainment And Earth Invasion Tonite. Across the galaxy my people are completing the mighty space fleet that will exterminate the human race! But first, this news from Tinseltown.
Dwight: This party pukes.
Cubert: Yeah! The guests were supposed to be here three hours ago.
Farnsworth: Well that doesn't mean that no one is coming and that you two are total losers. Who gave you that idea?
Antonio: Father, I've discovered the shocking secret mother has kept from you for 200 years.
Monique: No! No!
Antonio: Brace yourself. For when I speak these words you may well suffer an attack of explosive amnesia.
Dwight: Hey, next week'll be my birthday too.
Hermes: That's true. If only there were a way to have one party for both of you here at the office then write it off as a business expense. Wait! I thought of a way! The way I just said!
Narrator: Previously on All My Circuits...
Antonio: I'm sorry father but, somewhere along the way, I forgot how to be your son.
Calculon: Why Antonio?
Antonio: Because...I have amnesia!
Monique: Calculon?! But I thought you were -
Calculon: Egyptian?!
Monique: Before I kill you, I must ask you one question. Who am I? For I have...amnesia!
Calculon: Let me get this straight. Does anyone here not have amnesia?
Monique: Not sure.
Human Friend: I 'unno.
Cubert: This show is awesome! When I grow up I'm gonna have so much amnesia!
Dwight: Me too. I mean, I have it now, but I forgot.
Cubert: Well mine's louder!
(After they watch Hypno Toad for a few seconds)
Fry: This show has been going downhill since Season 3!
Cubert: Cool! I'm gonna have a fabulatious birthday party just like Calculon!
Dwight: Oh, yeah? Well I'm gonna show up looking good, just like Monique.
Leela: Do you two have to imitate everything you see on TV?
Cubert: Um, we're 12. So, yes.
(Bender, Calculon and the producer are watching inside the taping room)
Bender: Now that's hospital! What do you think, Cal-cy?
Calculon: Good?! I've seen better acting from extras in Godzilla movie?!
John DiMaggio: You're watching Futurama! The show that doesn't not advocate the cool crime of Robbery.
Calculon: I'm not familiar with this type of thing I'm seeing.
Bender: Bite my shiny metal ass!
Farnsworth: That's not what F.A.R.T. is about.
Hermes: No, sir. Not us farters.
Cubert: Dad, do I have a birthday?
Farnsworth: Hmmm...you didn't have a birth, so technically, no. Aw, don't feel bad. We can celebrate the day I extracted you from the cloning tank. Or the day I scraped your DNA from that growth on my back.
Cubert: Ooh! That one!
Bender: It's the parents fault! Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
Bender: Bender must be stopped! I've gone too far! Who does that guy think I am?
Fry: What kind of bozos would start a Bender protest group?
Farnsworth: Good news everyone, Hermes and I have started a Bender protest group.
According to the in-show credits, Lewis Morton had left the show by this time, so he must have signed back on for a brief time to pen this episode. Like a guest writer.
The song playing at the party was Young MC's "Bust A Move."
The end credits feature each member of the Futurama cast singing a part of the song "TV Party Tonight", as the credits roll over an episode of "Everybody Loves Hypno-Toad".
This episode has slightly different intro where Bender and Zoidberg "raps" to the intro, also the professor is heard.
Apple Inc.
The President of the network is more than likely an Apple computer.
It is running QuickTime, and near the end, when his gun is plugged in he plays the Apple start up theme. This theme was also featured in Fear of A Bot Planet.
Bender: Whoa,whoa. You can't censor me just because I appear as a bad role model.
Leela: As much as it hurts to say, I have to agree with Bender. Kids don't turn rotten just from watching television.
Super coincidence or not this could be a reference to first season of The Simpsons. Reason why is because many parent watchdog groups complained about Bart Simpson being a bad role model for kids leading up to many censorships of Bart's behavior.
The Three Musketeers
Tinny Tim quotes "All for one, and one for all" which is from the novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.
Happy Days
Cool-ometer: Oh yeah!
(Thumb up)
Farnsworth: I'm getting a reading of over 40 megafonzies!
This is a reference to the show from the 70's and early 80's, Happy Days, where the main character, Fonzie (Alfred Fonzarelli) played by Henry Winkler, was supposedly the coolest guy of the gang.
F.A.R.T.: Fathers Against Rude Television, alludes to many parent oriented groups such as P.T.A. and M.A.D.D.
F.A.R.T. was probably inspired by the PMRC, an organization that became famous in the mid-80s for protesting sex, drugs, violence and Satan worship in the lyrics of heavy metal and rap songs. It became even more famous when Dee Snider of Twisted Sister testified at the hearings in favor of musical expression. No word on what Futurama staff writer Kristin Gore thought of this episode, since her mother, Tipper, was one of its founders. The initials stand for Parents Music Resource Center.
Entertainment Tonight The news show Fry and the gang were watching was called Entertainment and Earth Invasion Tonight, a take on the popular star news show Entertainment Tonight.
Gamma: It will play in Peoria
This is a refernence to the famous question, "Will it play in Peoria?", a question that states that if something entertaining could amuse Peoria, it could amuse the entire American culture, as well as the fact that many things are tested in Peoria.
Execubot Alpha: Hey Hey Hey!
A quick and funny reference to the television show What's Happening!!. (response: actually its a reference to the 70's show Fat Albert)
Response #2: Actually, the DVD commentary for this episode discusses that Alpha's "Hey hey hey" is modeled after the catch phrase from "What's Happening!",but the cast and crew in that particular commentary also discuss the oddity of two shows (What's Happening" and "Fat Albert") both having variations of "hey hey hey" as a catch phrase.
Home Alone
The child star that goes in to audition for the part is a cheap parody of Macauley Culkin who rose to stardom in the movie Home Alone with a scene where he screams after putting on after-shave.
Calculon: Amateurs like you do two takes...
A funny reference to William Shatner's habit for only wanting to do it once, no matter what he did.
Bender: Stupid dumb coma. Could have been British.
A funny stab at the tear-jerking film The English Patient.
Fry: Ah, that show's been going downhill since season 3.
Fry's line of Everybody Loves Hypno-Toad (or something like that) is obviously making reference to Futurama itself & the FOX exectutives who've been screwing with Futurama since season 3. The title of the show is a cheap stab at the CBS comedy Everybody Loves Raymond.
Mother: No more hanging wires!!!
This is a parody of Faye Dunaway's famous line "No more wire hangers!!!" from the 1981 film Mommie Dearest where she played famed actress Joan Crawford. The film was based on Christina Crawford's biographical book of the same name which painted a very unflattering picture of her adopted mother Joan. Both the book and the film portrayed Joan Crawford as a controlling mother obsessed with having the perfect Hollywood family and whose pet peeve was, apparently, the use of wire hangers.

Short rotation coppice (SRC) basically consists of high-yielding varieties of shrub or small tree willows planted at high densities and harvested over a 2 or 3 year harvest cycle. The Osier or basket willow, Salix viminalis, a shrub form native to the UK, is parental stock to many of the varieties used for energy cropping. SRC is a woody, perennial crop, the rootstock or stool remaining in the ground after harvest with new shoots emerging the following spring. A plantation should remain viable for up to 30 years before re-planting becomes necessary.
Willow SRC can grow in most soils but, as with any arable crop, the better the soil the better the yield. Soils best avoided are gravel or sandy soils where the water table is more than 1m below ground surface as the crop will suffer from droughting. Peat-based soils can lead to difficulties with weed control due to the high weed seed burden; efficient weed control is absolutely essential for good SRC establishment. Heavy clay soils can be highly productive but must be well prepared, ensuring any compaction is removed; establishment may however be slow on clay soils. Moisture retentive, well-aerated clay or sandy loams provide ideal conditions.
On light land it is recommended that sludge cake be applied as a fertiliser during the land preparation phase if considered feasible by the local Water Company. This will help to condition the soil and also assist with moisture retention. No fertiliser of any type should be applied during establishment i.e. from planting to after cutback
Poplar is often mentioned as an SRC crop but the varieties currently available in the UK are not well suited as SRC for a number of reasons but can be grown as single stem trees and harvested at around 7 years i.e. short rotation forestry (SRF).
The advantages of SRC include:
If you are considering growing SRC for a large or small-scale project, please contact CRL for further information, advice or comprehensive practical assistance.

Thank you for quick answer.
Does it mean, that you can actually 'dig' from the htdig databases only
excerpts related to the first occurence of any given word or the feature
of viewing other word occurences is not provided by htsearch? (but can be

Hello,Currently in our office we have a paper form to schedule a webinar, employee fills out the form, gives it to the webinar manager and he creates/sends out a calendar invite for the creator, presenter and organizer. Kind of a tedious process and I would like to automate it some more but am having some issues, as I have never worked with sending out a calendar invite.
My idea is:
Web form, with all the fields present on the actual paper form. Will also have a date selector and a list of recipients. Once the form is submitted, each recipient gets an email notification of the scheduled webinar, along with a calendar invitationMy Questions:1.) Is this possible?2.) Are there any resources available for me to work with on sending the calendar invite?
I'm more than equipped to build the web form, php backend, emailing of the form, etc.. My only issue is sending of the calendar invite. Maybe there is a quicker/better alternative?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That is absurdly easy. I'd suggest browsing http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/
There are plenty of free programs, and I'd bet there's a free email script that will do just fine.
I agree, but like I said the only issue I have is the sending of the Outlook Calendar Invite. I can accomplish the rest without a problem. I couldn't find anything relating to outlook calendar invites on hotscripts.

Key players in Jackson's trial
Page Tools
Profiles of the key figures in the child molestation trial of singer Michael Jackson which begins on Monday (US time).
- MICHAEL JACKSON: The 46-year-old entertainer recorded numerous hit songs with the family group Jackson Five then went on to even greater stardom as a solo performer. Recently he has become more famous for such eccentric behaviour as remaking his face through plastic surgery and dangling his infant son from a hotel balcony. He reached a financial settlement in 1994 with a boy who accused him of child molestation and no criminal charges were filed. In this case, he is charged with plying a boy with alcohol, molesting him, and conspiring to hold the boy and his family against their will.
- JACKSON'S ACCUSER: The boy was 13 when he says Jackson molested him. He appeared with the entertainer in a 2003 documentary, Living With Michael Jackson, in which the entertainer said he allowed young boys into his bed for what he called innocent sleepovers. The teen met Jackson after attending a charity comedy camp run by Jamie Masada, owner of Hollywood's Laugh Factory. Masada said he promised to arrange the meeting to encourage the boy in his battle with cancer, from which he has since recovered. In 2001, the boy's family received $US150,000 ($190,800) to settle a lawsuit against US retail chain JC Penney, in which the family claimed security guards beat and held them against their will and groped the mother.
- THE ACCUSER'S MOTHER: The 34-year-old woman once called Jackson "a saint" and is deeply religious, according to Masada. Defence lawyers say she fabricated allegations against department store JC Penney for money and is now seeking more money from Jackson. She filed for divorce soon after winning the Penney's settlement and, in her divorce documents, accused her ex-husband of beating her and molesting their daughter. She had testified during the Penney's lawsuit that her ex-husband never hit her.
- THE PROSECUTOR: Thomas Sneddon Jr is known locally as "Mad Dog" for his hard-driving legal tactics. He failed to bring criminal charges against Jackson in 1994 after the accuser stopped cooperating with authorities when he reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Jackson. Santa Barbara County's veteran district attorney, 62, has denied having a personal vendetta against Jackson. In his song DS, Jackson calls a person named "Dom Sheldon" a "cold man", implying he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and was out to get Jackson.
- THE DEFENCE ATTORNEY: Lead attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr has defended gang members and celebrities. He reportedly obtained seven acquittals and two hung juries in cases involving murder, assault and illegal weapon possession in a one-year period. The 55-year-old former boxer is recognised in court by his shoulder-length white hair. His celebrity clients have included boxer Mike Tyson and actor Robert Blake. He travels frequently to the deep south of the US to represent death penalty defendants he believes have been wrongly accused.
- THE JUDGE: Rodney S Melville, 62, is a former prosecutor and district attorney who has cast an unprecedented veil of secrecy over this case by sealing most documents. He is known for running a no-nonsense courtroom in which delays are not tolerated. He once scolded Jackson for arriving a few minutes late. However, he shows a softer side to jurors and can display flashes of humour. He has made no secret of his status as a recovering alcoholic. He helped establish Santa Barbara County's first court for substance abusers.

Jessica Simpson Shows Off Fit Figure in New Weight Watchers Ad
Proving that diet and exercise can quickly shave off the baby pounds, Jessica Simpson recently posed for a gorgeous Weight Watchers spread featured in its "Expect Amazing" ad campaign.
The diet plan spokeswoman dropped 50 pounds just seven short months after giving birth to her daughter Maxwell.
People magazine shared the pretty snapshot from the ad campaign, which was shot in the California desert last month and will begin airing on Christmas Day (December 25).
Back in May, Miss Simpson revealed that it was very difficult to lose weight after giving birth, telling the publication, "I think anybody who's gone through a pregnancy, after they have the baby, it's like, 'I need to do something about this!'"
"For me, I really want to do something that is a lifestyle, because in the past I've been known to yo-yo diet."

The Faith Christian School girls basketball team scored a pair of welcome victories last week, trimming South Metro 53-31 Tuesday, Jan. 14, then topping Hope Christian 67-32 Friday.
Both wins came on the road. Why were they so welcome for FCS Coach Mike Sohre and his team?
Because, after starting the season 6-0 the Saints went into a slump Jan. 10-11 at the North Metro Tournament where they lost all three of their games.
"We went into that tournament after a two-week holiday break and two lost practices because of the cold weather," said Sohre. "And, the layoff was evident as we looked tired and, overall, played poorly.
"The girls tried but the energy just wasn't there."
Faith Christian lost to South Metro 60-51, Coulee Christian (which won the tournament) 56-43 and North Metro 46-41.
Things got better last week, though. Much better.
The Saints avenged the loss to South Metro, in decisive fashion.
"Our change in focus had incredible results," said Sohre. "We cut their point total by 29 points from the tournament game and really clamped down on their two good guards, holding them to a total of 13 points after they totaled 38 in our tournament loss."
Junior guard Irina Danilyuk led FCS with 20 points which included five three-point baskets. Senior guard Andy Vermeer and junior forward-center Ashley Johnson each added 11 points while seventh-grade guard Lauren Curott had five points. Johnson also had 13 rebounds and seven steals.
The Saints rolled to a 23-12 halftime lead.
Johnson then turned in a record-breaking performance at Hope Christian Friday in South St. Paul as she grabbed a school record 30 rebounds, breaking the former record of 25 set by Faith Britton last season against Immanuel Lutheran.
Johnson also had 22 points and eight blocked shots.
"Ashley dominated the game with gusto," said Sohre. "And, we supported her well.
"Hope Christian has the conference's leading scorer in Suzie Zimmer, who is averaging 27 points a game. Our goal was to hold her and their team to under 30 points total and we almost did as she scored 22 and the Hope team finished with 32."
Danilyuk added 21 points as she made nine of 13 shots while Vermeer had eight points and junior guard Carmen Nelson and sophomore center Hannah Thompson each scored six points.
Danilyuk also had six steals and six assists.
Faith Christian, 8-3, hosts Calvin Christian Monday, Jan. 27, at 5:30, then hosts rugged Cambridge Christian Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 5:30.
"Those are two big games for us," said Sohre. "Our practices this week are focusing on defense.
"If you focus on defense it will be one reliable component in each and every game. Offense can come and go but defense can be played well every night no matter what."

Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 933, the Department of Defense, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013. The bill will fund the government through the end of the fiscal year in September, replacing the temporary funding measure that expires March 26. Additionally, the legislation maintains sequestration cuts while providing the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs greater flexibility to cut spending without jeopardizing military readiness or the health and well-being of our veterans.
"This legislation is a responsible approach that cuts spending, avoids the threat of a government shutdown, and protects our military capability.
"Today marks the third time in the past year that House Republicans have acted to redistribute the sequester spending cuts in a more responsible way. This funding bill maintains the sequester but provides greater flexibility to the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs so that critical defense capabilities are maintained and our current and former service members have the resources they need and deserve.
"The American people deserve better than a government that lurches from one crisis to the next, only taking action at the last minute. In passing this bill well in advance of the funding deadline, House Republicans are striving to restore order and certainty to the budget process. It is now up to the Democratic Senate to take up the legislation in a timely manner or delay action again and risk a government shutdown."

Friends: Friend Crush
Much bravado, and more bullshit, has been spoken in the name of the like-minded 'free spirit' amongst the underbelly of indie-cool hopefuls in NYC's hippest borough, Brooklyn. Putting all that aside, the nascent quintet, Friends, is quite probably the finest and purest embodiment of said aesthetic.
Formed on Sept. 12th 2010, Friends, played their first show for lead singer, Samantha Urbani's birthday party in her backyard just 6 days later, before being subsequently thrust into a CMJ showcase. In the few months that have followed, Friends have played all the hotspots amongst NYC's ever-expanding D.I.Y circuit, like Silent Barn, Shea Stadium and Death By Audio, and have just hit the road for a mammoth 29 date US tour with label-mate Darwin Deez.
Things have been moving this fast for Urbani since the spring of 2010 when, based in Brooklyn, Urbani recorded a batch of songs "bubbling out of her brain" onto 'GarageBand.' Summer saw Samantha temporarily relocate to Berlin to study, frequenting artist communes akin to the 'Market Hotel', where she currently resides, and further extending her unorthodox life approach, having been home schooled, by a free spirited, artistic small family unit in the suburbs of Connecticut. Upon returning to NYC, Urbani knew she needed a band to realize her ideas into something bigger.
Hence, Friends was formed naturally by the, well, friends surrounding her at the time. Self-taught, play anything musician Lesley Hann, 22, a striking performer of bass and keys in the band, whom Urbani had known from childhood, and stand-up drummer, Oliver Duncan, 23, were playing in a rock band together, and crashing on Urbani's couch to avoid their bed bug problem. Close friends Matthew Molnar, 28, and Nikki Joe Shapiro, 33, worked, together with the singer, at the now locally-notorious vegan restaurant in the east village, Angelica Kitchen, where Darwin Deez had also previously eked out a living, and so, the quintet was complete.
Instantly, from the immediate tape hum of 'Friend Crush', you know you are dealing with a living, breathing collective. The noise is soon followed by a swaggeringly simple beat, and then an intimate voice offers staccato couplets oozing a sensuality that is both primal and sensitive ; it's a voice of urgency, and yet naively plaintive. It's all topped off by a beautiful & affecting chiming riff from guitar pop heaven, reminiscent of Joe Meek's concoctions.
B-side, 'Feelin Dank', furthers the band's horizons. It's a spacious arrangement of organic freestyle, with claps, bongos, and what could be an African call-and-response vocal style, built with nursery rhymes that could fit into a hip re-imagination of Lincoln Chase/Shirley Ellis's 'The Clapping Song.'
Imbibed with the naked party-starting enthusiasm of E.S.G. and The Tom Tom Club, cult NYC happenings like themselves, Friends perform a self-described concoction of 'weird pop' and 'tropicool', African-inspired rhythms splashed with a tropical dash.
So far, in the uber-fashion conscious 'big apple', Friends have established themselves quickly. They offer something transcendental, and yet exuberantly now. Perfect for this era when life seems tough enough to require regular reality checks, alongside our dreams of escapism and overachievement. "I am hoping we will dominate the search engine," says Urbani, "There's definitely space in pop music right now for something more genuine." Well, here it is…

The new competitors for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars is due to be announced on February 28th, but we are getting rumors of just who may be trading in their day jobs for the Dancing Reality Show.
The first rumor is Wendy Williams. The talk show host is currently rumored to be in the running, reportedly putting her talk show "The Wendy Williams Show" on hiatus next month. Sources told BET yesterday that Williams is indeed part of the show, and from what we gathered on her dancing skills, she could be one heck of a competitor. Wendy, in addition to DWTS, will also be hosting a new Game Show Network show entitled 'Love Triangle' which will be taping on the weekends as to not interfere with the dancing competition.
Another rumor? Former Madonna boyfriend and father to Lourdes, Carlos Leon. Now, we have no confirmation whatsoever that it will be this upcoming season, but he has said he has been offered to be on the show in the past, and he is now ready to do it.
According to Leon, "I've gotten quite a few offers to do reality shows. I got offered to do Dancing With the Stars a couple years back. I didn't do it, but if they come up with the offer again, I would totally do it."
As of right now, Carlos is working hard to promote his new indie comedy 'Immigration Tango' in which he costars as one half of an immigrant couple trying to stay in the U.S. The film opens in select cities on Friday.
The upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars is set to premier on March 21 on ABC.
Other rumors include Mark Paul Gosselaar, Baby Spice and Seal. Those are very unconfirmed rumors however, so take them with a grain of salt for now!
So, what do you think? Would these two interest you? Do you think Madonna or even Lourdes would cheer him on in the audience? Let us know below!

well, i liked it
Short story by Carolyn Matthews.
The Father of our Church fell ill suddenly, and he summoned me
to his office. He says "Carolyn, please fill in for me today,
and God Bless you!"
Oh my God, this is the moment I have been waiting for! I quickly
run out of his office to the Nun's private bathroom. I strip out
of my Nun's uniform, take off my underwear, then get dressed
again. Oh God, I am going to sin! Please Jesus forgive me!
I walk onto the stage where about a hundred people are waiting
for the Father to give his sermon. I announce that he cannot be
here today, then I launch into a speech about young boys and
girls having sex before marriage. My speech lasts about ten
minutes, then I ask if any anyone would like to come up on the
stage, and I will show them what NOT to do before they get
I look over the congregation and see about ten hands from young
men waving around. I see a really good looking guy about half
way down the aisle, so I point at him, then say "God has blessed
you my son! Come up here so we can show everyone what a sin it
is to have sex before marriage!"
The properly dressed young man steps onto the stage and I
immediately push my hand down the front of his pants. His cock
grows in my hand as I lean forward and begin tongue kissing him.
Oh my God, his cock is getting huge, and I cannot keep me
fingers around it! I get down on my knees, unzip his pants and
pull his cock out. My Lord Jesus has blessed me! This is the
biggest cock I have ever hand my fingers around!
As I stroke the young man's cock back and forth, I look over at
the congregation and say "Praise the Lord for delivering this
evil for us to witness!" The Church is silent as I open my mouth
as wide as I can, then push my face towards Satan's tool! I take
about four or five inches of cock inside me, then wait a few
seconds for Jesus to forgive me. Thank the lord, he prevented me
from gagging! I hold steady for a few seconds, then pull my head
back and stand up.
The congregation applauds as two of my Sisters run over to me
and help to take my uniform off. The congregation gets to their
feet and keeps applauding as I walk naked back and forth across
the stage. Oh my God, what am I doing? I return to the young man
and see that he is masturbating while looking at my naked body.
I watch him for a few moments, then look over at the audience
and say "Satan is here right now! And he wants this young man to
push his tool inside me so you will understand his power! I will
let him do this for a few minutes until Jesus intervenes and
makes him take it out of me! Praise the Lord for his guidence!"
My Sister's bring out a piece of carpet, lay it down in the
middle of the stage, then run back over behind the curtains. I
lay down on it, then look up at the young man and say "Satan
wants you to put your cock into my smooth shaven pussy! Are you
going to do what Jesus wants you to do, or are going fall from
grace and make Satan happy?"
Suddenly the boy rips off his clothes and says "Fuck Jesus
Christ! You have the best body I have ever seen!" He gets down
on his knees between my legs and thrusts his huge cock inside my
pussy! Oh my God his cock is huge! It is ripping me apart and I
start screaming "Satan is entering me! Please look away while he
tests my relationship with our Lord!" The boy starts fucking the
hell out of me and I can't help from screaming "Oh Jesus Christ!
Oh, Jesus Christ! Satan is inside me! Please help me for I am in
need! Help me Jesus Christ!" Satan continues to fuck me for
another ten minutes while the audience is silent. Meanwhile,
they hear my screams "Oh my God! Oh my God! Please God, don't
let Satan's seed enter my body! Oh Jesus, please use your powers
to prevent Satan from having a baby with me!"
Just then, the boy ejaculates inside me! I can feel his cock
pumping over and over again! Suddenly a wave of relief comes
over me when Jesus talks to me and says "Sister Matthews, I
have relieved you from Satan's grasp and you will not get
pregnant! But, please stop sinning so often and let me get some
rest! God Bless you my Child!"
Like jwxx5 says, that certainly was different. Very good story though. You should think about writing stories and posting them on the story site. Unless of course you already do.
that was a nice little story, thanks
I thought this was great, liked the joke at the end aswell
just sent a copy to the vatican perhaps el papa will get to read it they tell me he has a great sense of humor
Well that was different. I liked the nun sex - definitely a fantasy of mine.
Very nice. Very taboo, that's for sure.
I liked it, and the ending was a nice touch!

Over on Hackaday.io, [bms.had] is showing his technique for 3D printing molds that he uses to cast (lead-free) pewter objects. The process looks simple enough, and if you have a 3D printer, you only need some lead-free pewter, a cheap toaster oven, and PLA filament. He's made two videos (below) that do an excellent job of showing the steps required.
Even though the pewter is hot enough to melt the PLA, it doesn't appear to be a major problem if you quench the piece fast enough. According to [bms.had], a slower quench will melt some PLA although that creates a smoother surface. You can see the 0.31 mm layer lines in the cast, though, although you can use any layer height you like to control that. Creating the mold is simple (the videos use Tinkercad, although anything suitable for creating 3D models would work). You essentially attach a funnel to your part and make the entire part a hole inside an enveloping shape.

Dayak Launches Marketplace For Contract, Temp Jobs
Carlsbad-based Dayak, a VC-funded online site focused on recruiting, said recently that it has launched a new marketplace focused on temporary and contract labor. According to Dayak, the new marketplace comes as companies are starting to look more than temporary and contract workers, in response to the "economic meltdown." Dayak allows staffing firms to post temp and contract openings to its new marketplace, allowing independent recruiters to help fill those positions. Allan Sabol, the firm's CEO, said the new marketplace is a "key advantage" for staffing firms to fill client jobs more quickly or to improve fill rates. The new staffing marketplace is an expansion of the firm's existing service for matching employers with recruiters. Dayak is venture backed by First Round Capital, NextStage Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, and the Tech Coast Angels.

Brooklyn, Mich. • Jimmie Johnson looked as if he had already finished the hardest work. After starting at the back of the pack, he had moved up quickly, and when he passed Brad Keselowski for the lead on lap 191 of 200, his No. 48 Chevrolet seemed to be the superior car.
Then Johnson's engine faltered with only six laps remaining. He lost the race and the NASCAR Sprint Cup points lead to Greg Biffle on Sunday.
"I got it turned around and was catching him, and then his engine failed," Biffle said. "It was going to be a great race, no matter what. I felt like I could catch him, but we'll never know. Passing him might have been a different story."
Biffle won the race at Michigan International Speedway, taking advantage when Johnson left the track because of engine trouble. Johnson started the race from the back because of an engine change, and he couldn't hold on at the end. He finished 27th.
After Johnson's mishap, there was a caution for oil on the track. Biffle held off Keselowski by 0.416 seconds in the green-white-checkered finish.
Biffle took over the points lead, while Johnson dropped from first to fourth. Matt Kenseth moved up a spot to second despite a 17th-place showing.
"I know that a lot of people don't expect us to win the championship, and don't expect us to compete for the title," Biffle said. "I don't care what they say or who they want to talk about, but we will be a factor when it comes down to Homestead. I promise you that."
Kasey Kahne finished third in the 400-mile race, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Marcos Ambrose.
It was the 12th victory for Roush Fenway Racing at MIS, breaking a tie with the Wood Brothers for the most wins at the track.
Pole-sitter Mark Martin was sailing along in the lead for most of the first 65 laps before his race ended in scary fashion. Bobby Labonte went into a spin while Martin was coming up from behind, and Martin went sliding off toward pit road. His car crashed frighteningly into the end of a short, narrow barrier on the interior side of pit road.
The side of Martin's car was essentially impaled by the end of the wall, just in front of the left rear tire and dangerously close to the driver's seat. But in the smoky scene that followed, Martin was able to get out and walk away.
"I really feel that was a freak accident. I'm not sure you can ever completely fix something like that," Martin said. "That was a pretty freak angle that I got it. I'm not sure what you can do. It could have been really bad if I would have got into that hole a little deeper where it would have caught me in the door instead of the crush area back there."
It was Biffle's second win of the year and third career victory at MIS.

Daily Beast Pans MSNBC's 'Up Late': 'Is Alec Baldwin Really That Boring?'
A few hours ago Daily Beast editor-at-large Lloyd Grove published a deliciously scathing review of MSNBC's new Up Late that premiered Friday.
From the very first sentence, readers could tell he wasn't impressed: "This is a terrible and surprising question, but is Alec Baldwin really that boring?"
"After watching him chat sedately with New York mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio," Grove continued, "I can't help asking...Baldwin's debut as a TV talk show host didn't do him or his audience any favors."
First, Grove expressed disappointment with giving an hour to a mayoral candidate who's likely only interesting to people in New York. But that wasn't the only problem:
Baldwin, who to his credit acknowledged that he's a de Blasio partisan, never challenged his guest; he simply agreed with him. When the conversation threatened to get interesting or affecting, as during a brief discussion of de Blasio's tumultuous upbringing by a single mother after his parents' divorce, Baldwin seldom missed an opportunity to steer it back to "policy." He decorously neglected to ask the candidate about the impact of his father's suicide—which is the polite thing to do in a social situation, but malpractice in a television interview.
Meanwhile, Baldwin persistently referred to de Blasio as New York's next mayor until the candidate—admittedly the prohibitive frontrunner as a Democrat in an overwhelmingly Democratic city--reminded his host that first there must be an election. The existence of de Blasio's Republican opponent, Joe Lhota, went unmentioned.
Has Grove never watched MSNBC? The is the Democrat News Network.
As Baldwin referred to his guest as the next mayor, why would he consider mentioning that de Blasio has an opponent?
Given Baldwin's support for the guy, the whole point of the interview was to give de Blasio an hour-long commercial that didn't cost the candidate a dime.
But Grove still wasn't through with his criticisms writing, "[C]ommercial interruptions, signaled by the welling-up of the show's jazzy film-noir theme music over the dangling conversation, almost came as a relief...unless MSNBC intends to retitle its new program Up Late and Dozing Off with Alec Baldwin, somebody needs to--as they say in those ubiquitous low-testosterone commercials—'turn it up.'"
Makes you wonder if Grove knows how Baldwin treats his rivals.
He'd be well-advised to not walk alone in Manhattan for a few weeks.

Sup guys,
lately I have alot of free time (no exams in school, ...) so which movies do you recommend for me?
I like movies like Silver Linings Playbook ( if you never watched it, go watch it) --> drama/comedy films, I also like some fighting in it like Street Green Hooligans or Never Back Down.
I already watched those all-time favourites like LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars- loved them all !
Tell me what to watch and I'll look it up! thanks :D !
P.S : just downloaded The Hobbit, is it worth watching?
