Author has written 5 stories for Naruto.
Hi!!! I LOVE Anime!! It's my life!
I guess I'll start with what I see a lot of people do
Likes: Anime, purple, sweets, manga, random nice people, anything romance-y, Samurai Champloo, Naruto, Azumanga Diaoh, Skip Beat, Vampire Knight, reading, xxxHolic, School Rumble, Yurara no Tsuki, Bleach, J-Pop (any Japanese music even some Korean), Japan, sleeping, my friends, Kanye West, not being a closed-minded person, music (in general)... I can't think of anything else so far, but I'm sure there's more.
Dislikes: Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, racists, the stupid people on Youtube, rude people, closed-minded people, Sakura }( (from Naruto, in case you didn't know... I seriously can't stand her!), fanfics that are hard to follow, fanfics that are hard to follow cause of super bad grammar!, Yaoi, Yuri... probably more, but I don't feel like thinking about it more. I'm kinda suprised there's more likes than dislikes...
My fav. pairings! XD
My not fav. pairing...
If you can't tell, I only listed the ones I'll actually read on here. I mostly read Naruto stuff though.
Also I have a friend name Rikutanze (her fanfiction name). She's more of a (aurgggghhh...) Sakura fan (we're polar opposites, jk. But it feels that way). I've been pitching her some ideas that I'm not gonna write cause I'm super lazy. She said that she would possible write it. Go check out her stories if you want. You should if you like Sakura... cause she loves Sakura and it's sickening. I can't believe she hates Sasuke, but because she loves me she made Hinata and Sasuke a couple. _
Updates and stuff...
Here's a little interesting stuff about me... I guess...lol

Mommy...Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great, huge crack.
Mommy, I was a good girl, I did what I was told,
I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold!
When I went to school that day,
I never said good-bye.
I'm sorry that I had to go, But Mommy, please don't cry.
When Johnny shot the gun, he hit me and another,
And all because Johnny, got the gun from his brother.
Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I love him very much,
And please tell Zack; my boyfriend; That it wasn't just a crush.
And tell my little sister; That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grandmother; I'll be waiting for her now
And tell my wonderful friends; That they always were the best
Mommy, I'm not the first, I'm no better than the rest
Mommy, tell my teachers; I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this, And please don't let this pass
Mommy, why'd it have to be me? No one, though. deserves this.
But mommy, it's not fair, I left without a kiss.
And Mommy tell the doctors; I know that they really did try
I think I even saw one doctor, trying not to cry.
Mommy, I'm slowly dying, with a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy please remember, I'm in heaven with the rest
When I heard that great, big crack, I ran as fast as I could
please listen to me if you would,
I wanted to go to college, I wanted to try things that were new
I guess I'm not going with Daddy, On that trip to the new zoo
I wanted to get married, I wanted to have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress, I really wanted to live.
But Mommy I must go now, The time is getting late,
Mommy, tell my Zack, I'm sorry to cancel the date.
I love you Mommy, I always have, I know you know its true
And Mommy all I need to say is, "Mommy, I love you"

You talk to yourself a lot. (Alot meaning all the time...)
You talk to yourself about talking to yourself. (e.g. 'Why do I constantly ask my self random things?')
When you talk to yourself you often talk to yourself like you're talking to someone else. (e.g. 'Have you ever noticed that deliver could mean someone's liver?')
After uttering a profound piece of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand with awe and say, "Wow,this stuff is great for sugar highs...'
You live off of sugar and caffeine (the two greatest things ever discovered!)
You'll check your e-mail every day of the week and then disappear off the face of the earth.
You're e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random.
When replying to an e-mail, you'll never actually address the point of it.
You tend to collect Bic Stics off the ground like picking pennies off the ground.

The letters on your keyboard are wearing off.
Your friends and family think that you have carpal tunnel syndrome.
People think you have A.D.H.D.
You think it'd be cool to have A.D.H.D.
You constantly start talking in third person, present or past tense.
You start thinking about making lists like this and start giggling for no "apparent" reason
Your friends stopped looking at you funny when you laugh for no apparent reason a loooooong time ago.
And FINALLY, the one way to tell if you're a good writer: You failed English 101. Yeah this one is the strangest one but the most true...

This Instant Pot taco meat is so flavorful! I love cooking taco meat in my Instant Pot because I can make a big batch and feed my family throughout the week. I enjoy making and eating traditional tacos but when it comes to leftovers I try to be creative by using the meat in breakfast tacos with eggs or potatoes, on top of salads, or in a "burrito" bowl with rice and fun taco toppings.
This is the most flavorful taco meat that you'll ever meet! It's delicious served with tortillas (like my paleo naan), over salad or on top of nachos. I love this recipe so much that I've made it twice in the past couple weeks and have been happily enjoying leftovers.
Whenever I make taco meat, I like to freeze a portion of it for a lazy cooking day. It makes for awesome leftovers. This recipe is delicious as is – but if you want to stretch the meat out to serve more people or to last you a little longer, you can add some chopped potatoes to it. I've done this – and it's fantastic.
I love making taco meat in my Instant Pot because it's my favorite kitchen gadget ever. It cooks everything super fast and I really feel like it intensifies the flavors of the seasonings that I use.
One thing you have to keep in mind when making this recipe is that meat can sometimes release quite a bit of liquid. That's why I don't add any additional water to the Instant Pot before making this taco meat. Even without adding liquid, I have to boil off a good amount of water that the meat naturally releases. Once I remove the lid from the pot, I press the "saute" button and leave the pot alone until most the water boils off.
Then, I top the meat with lots of cilantro and use it in all different sorts of ways.
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 2 red onions, diced
- 3 green bell peppers, diced
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
- ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
- Cilantro, garnish
- Add all of the ingredients to the Instant Pot except for the ground beef.
- Press the "Sauté" button on the Instant Pot and saute for 5-6 minutes.
- Then add the ground beef to the pot and cook until mostly brown.
- Cover and lock the lid. Cook on the Manual setting for 30 minutes. Make sure the steam valve is closed.
- Once the meat is done, the Instant Pot will automatically switch to the "Keep Warm" mode. Allow the pressure to release naturally or use the quick release.
- Open the pot and if the meat released a lot of liquid, press the "Saute" button to boil off any extra liquid. This may take 10-15 minutes, depending on how much liquid the meat released.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Invoicing Information
Devon's Accounts Payable (AP) Team processes approximately 80,000 invoices each month. We operate a decentralized model where invoices are coded and approved in the location (field offices or corporate locations) where the work is managed. Devon aims to pay all contractors accurately and timely. In order to achieve this, we utilize Oildex OpenInvoice for electronic invoice processing. This is the primary method for invoice acceptance.
Please note that your company should not initiate the OpenInvoice enrollment process until you have been awarded work by Devon and completed the qualification process.
To view the benefits of OpenInvoice, please read below.
Benefits of OpenInvoice
A primary business driver to using OpenInvoice is the ability to process invoices more quickly and efficiently, resulting in a shorter invoice payment cycle. Some of the benefits to contractors using OpenInvoice include:
- No invoices lost in the mail or "slipping through the cracks"
- Expedited invoice processing and timely payment
- Payment up to 70% percent faster than paper invoices
- Ability to track the status of each e-invoice online
- Ability to track payment for each e-invoice online
- Online adjudication process for quick dispute resolution
- Complete history and audit trail of all invoice-related changes
- Accessibility to free support for e-invoice questions and issues
- A wide range of submission methods
- Easy to use, web-based interface
Logistics Information
Devon is currently in a long-term agreement with Ryder Integrated Logistics (Ryder) to coordinate and manage all transportation services for the movement of materials in Devon operating areas. To perform these services for Devon, a carrier must go through a formal carrier on-boarding process with Ryder to assess carrier safety, current transportation authority, currency and adequacy of insurance coverage, and trucking capacity in addition to several other criteria.
Carriers that do eventually become Ryder Managed Carriers operating on behalf of Devon are expected to accept tendered loads 90% of the time. We strive for 100% on-time-delivery with an incident rate of 0%.
The following transportation services are managed by Ryder:
- Trucking and Hauling of Equipment
- Saltwater Disposal & Flowback in the Permian Basin
- Gravel Transportation in the Permian Basin
Contractors who provide any other transportation services will need to be set up as a traditional carrier directly with Devon which will first require a Devon Business Sponsor. Prior to attempting to being set up directly with Devon, all carriers should first check with Ryder to determine whether the transportation services they provide have been brought into scope since this webpage was published.
Invoicing Ryder
Ryder uses a program called LEAPS that allows suppliers to electronically submit invoices on behalf of Devon. Many contractors have already been set up and trained to use LEAPS. If a carrier is not set up with LEAPS, please complete and submit a Contact Us Form, and a Ryder representative will assist with getting a supplier set up with LEAPS. LEAPS is the preferred method for invoice submission to Ryder.
Invoicing terms with Ryder will be net 30.

Witold Vargas
Born in 1968. He lives in Warsaw, teaches drawing and illustrates children's books (his portfolio sports over 20 titles, three of which he authored). One of those three, Stwory Baśniowe Małe i Duże, has inspired the Slavic Bestiary, which was co-authored by Paweł Zych whom Vargas met thanks to their shared passion for illustrating and folk demonology.

Sydney production duo Purple Sneakers DJs have recently launched a label, their very first original single, as well as a new Sydney club night. We had a chat with founding member Marty Novosel (aka PhDJ).


text: I am getting ready to illuminate this residence and I would love to have some input from you guys. This house is in a little gated neighborhood where I have installed holiday lighting on 12% of the homes for 4 years. Everyone knows who I am and I plan to capitalize on that with some direct mailing. I am going to mail out a 5x 7 with a photo of the development entrance and an example of nice lighting. On the other side I will let them know they need to be on the lookout for the dramatic night time change at the address I am installing at. Maybe do a special limited time neighborhood offer. Okay, back to the design. Here are my ideas. I want to evenly graze the stone all the way to the peak of the house. I realize that light stone is going to readily illuminate. The entrance is the obvious focal point and I would love to get lights behind the arch like I have seen Tim do, but I am afraid it isn't feesible on this one. Would it be okay to use a narrow spot on the column on each side of the arch, but then next to it, use a bab to get my light evenly to top of the house? I am planning on sillouhetting the Blue Atlas Cedars planted on either side of the porch. A few path lights down the entrance sidewalk. Even though the entrance is so symetrical, do you think alternate spacing would still be best? Is that always the rule? There are a couple of small chinese elms in the foreground that I will uplight to give some depth. The house is so tall. What else can I do to anchor it to the ground? Area lights in the beds? Any help would be seriously appreciated, and I can't wait to post finished photos.

Best Mobile Security or Anti-Fraud Solution – Trustonic for Trustonic Secured Platform
Trustonic's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology is now an established and integral part of modern smartphones and it therefore makes sense for us to work closely with the GSMA and its members to collaborate on how the TEE can bring sophisticated hardware security to service providers and app developers.
We became a fully participating member of the GSMA in 2016 and entered our Trustonic Hybrid Protection (THP) product into the Global Mobile Awards 2016. We did this because THP is truly unique in offering optimal device level security to all smartphones, leveraging TEE hardware security where available (now present in more than 700 million devices) with white box cryptography and software code protection elsewhere.
This concept of optimal security (hardware where available, software elsewhere) is a key differentiator in the market and the main reason behind our success. My advice to other would-be entrants would be to focus on the differentiating features of their products – what marks out their solution from the rest, highlighting compelling use cases areas of innovation and key benefits.
We have received significant interest in THP since winning our GLOMO award. The GSMA is a widely recognised and well respected industry body and the MWC in Barcelona is an industry flagship event, so it makes perfect sense to showcase our solutions here, while any recognition from the GSMA certainly helps.

Beijing (XNA) Jan 12, 2016
China has developed the manufacturing techniques for a key part to be used on its super-heavy rocket that will fulfill the nation's manned missions to the moon.
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, working with other Chinese institutes, has developed a super-large interstage ring to be used to connect stages of the rocket, tentatively called the Long March 9.
The development was announced in a news release by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the country's major space contractor.
The release said an interstage ring is a key component in a multistage rocket, and that those used on China's current rockets were made in sections before being assembled.
In contrast, the ring on the Long March 9 will be made through a casting method that produces it in one piece.
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology has begun preliminary research on the Long March 9. The work has been approved by the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, which is in charge of the nation's space programs.
According to sources at the academy, it plans to take up to five years to design and develop a liquid oxygen/kerosene engine with 460 metric tons of thrust and a oxygen/liquid hydrogen engine with 220 tons of thrust.
The rocket will have a launch weight of 3,000 tons and is scheduled to make its maiden flight around 2030, the sources said, adding that it will play a key role in helping to land astronauts on the moon.
The Long March 9's technical specifications have still to be disclosed.
But Li Tongyu, head of aerospace products at the academy, said its diameter and height will be much greater than those of the Long March 5, which is undergoing final tests and will make its first flight soon. The Long March 9's thrust will also be much stronger, Li said.
"Our current launch vehicles, including the Long March 5, will be able to undertake the country's space activities planned for the next 10 years, but they will not have the capacity to carry out the nation's long-term space programs," according to Li.
Li Jinghong, deputy chief designer of the Long March 3A at the academy, cited technical estimates stating that the Long March 5 will require four launches before fulfilling a manned mission to the moon, while the Long March 9 will need only one.
The senior engineer also said that the Long March 9 will not be used solely for lunar missions, hinting that it will be required for other deep-space exploration projects.
Tian Yulong, secretary-general of the China National Space Administration, said it has started preliminary research on a Mars exploration program.

MTN subscribers anticipate better services following selling of towers
23 December, at 10 : 04 AM Print
Clients at an MTN service Center
In a bid to improve its services, MTN group has sold a total of 1'228 mobile network towers in Rwanda and Zambia to IHS Holdings, Africa's leading independent mobile telecommunications infrastructure provider.
MTN Group president and Chief Executive, Sifiso Dabengwa said that these latest deals are testament their commitment to client service, enabling the most efficient, effective and reliable networks.
"Our strong and trusted relationship with MTN is important to us and we remain committed to reinforcing their focus on customer service excellence."
He said that it is a positive step towards freeing up management time to focus on products and services, thereby fulfilling their mission of 'making customers' lives a whole lot brighter"
The move however comes at a time when Rwandan subscribers have been having a lot of difficulties with MTN network and services, especially consistent network failure and mobile money services.
Recently, MTN Rwanda entered into a deal with Ericsson to ease the mobile money access through the Ericsson Converged Wallet as a way of upgrading the mobile money transfer services.
Mobile penetration in Rwanda currently stands at 63.7 percent and over 1.7 million subscribers were registered on the mobile money platform by March this year according to Rwanda Regulatory Authority statistics.
The figure was at 639,000 subscribers at the end of last year, with MTN Rwanda having pushed over Rwf90bn through the platform
MTN has previously sold 1'000 of its base stations in Uganda and network towers in Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire to IHS. The transactions bring the total number of towers in IHS's portfolio to 10'500.
IHS Group chief executive Issam Darwish said the deal will lead to an expansion of their activities into the two countries.
Under the agreements, IHS will acquire and operate the towers and related passive infrastructure and will invest in a build-to-suit program to support MTN's future requirements in both countries.
MTN Rwanda and MTN Zambia will become the respective anchor tenants on the towers for an initial term of ten years.
IHS, Africa's largest independent infrastructure tower company by number of towers managed, won the Middle East & Africa Deal of the Year Award at the Telecom Finance Awards held in London on 30 January 2013.

90 Day Fiance LOUIS & AYA
Posted in the Carmel Forum
#1 Jan 30, 2014
I feel so bad for AYA.
Louis has an x wife who tells them what to do. And she seems to cry a lot.
Everybody picks on the females who came to America to marry the men they have gotten to know.
It takes two to get married and blaming the women and saying only here for green card or whatever?
it took the men to bring them here to marry do not blame the women for being here...
United States
#2 Jan 30, 2014
Easier to blame the woman than take responsibility for their own actions. Just another liar.
#3 Jan 30, 2014
The couples feel awkward. In fact, the whole show feels awkward.
I don't know how to feel abt the women and the money issue. It keeps coming up. Not liking the venue for the reception, not being able to afford an apartment or a wedding dress....the money issues are awkward. Is it bc the men are tightwads or the women expect too much or is it one of the storylines (scripted)? I feel bad that my first reaction is to think its awuil for the women to be demanding.
As far as Aya and the ex-wife trying to control her having kids?????!!!!! wth??! And accusing her of potentially beating the kids bc shes from the Philippines???? are u kidding!? not good
#4 Jan 30, 2014
Aya needs to be give a Medal of Honor for putting up with Louis. This guy is a miracle...he was married, he's unattractive, unsuccessful, has two shit dog kids who he incessantly refers to as "the boyzzz". I'd say Aya should move back to the Philippeans and find a good man to begin her married life with.

I think TLC is messing with Kirlyam or messing with us. Kirlyam is beautiful, but she is much too short to be a model. Is TLC getting her hopes up only to crush them?

Daily Show's Jon Stewert show a photo of the Duck guys, from a couple years before the show started....all short hair, clean shaven in three piece suits....."Reality" seem's to be a nebulous term....lol...it's all about greed and profits....
#11 Feb 7, 2014
Agree!! He is a LOSER and a wimp!
#12 Feb 9, 2014
I've spent time in the Philippines myself. It's a 3rd world country & there's lot's of daily hardships, HOWEVER I don't think Aya needs to stay here & endure just as many daily hardships! They're a great & loving people & I saw plenty of beautiful areas on all 4 trips I've made to the Philippines! It's breaking my heart to see Aya end up with what is unfortunately a man & ex white trash! Yuck!! Aya- if you ever read this you can come stay with me & my family!!! Don't marry this guy- he's not good enough for you!!:-)

She's in her 30's, overweight and not attractive.....If her and him have even a remote chance of happiness....I'd go for it....

I come from the same city where aya coming from. I guess she'll just have to be patient and see how it goes, I married a man 16yrs older than me he aint rich but sure he has a good heart he might not the type of husband who give gifts, celebrate anniversary to his wife but when it comes to my family he'll make sure he takes care of them. Though I really want him to takes care of me too hehehe anyway were still happily married for 10 yrs now.

Run Aya run. Bratty step kids, disrespectful ex wife, tight wad husband. Run!!
#18 Feb 25, 2014
poor AYA cried almost the whole show when she was on
the x-wife looks like a woman who was on wife swap or spouse swap or whatever that is?
Zagreb, Croatia
#19 Jun 28, 2014
Louis seems like a nice guy and Aya like a nice lady. He needs to get his X wife into check because she is a total (beep) that spoiled the kids rotten and is smart ass that likes to boss people around. I feel sorry for both Louis and Aya because they have to be in contact with he stuck up ugly ex-wife. Louis get a better job and be happy with Aya and start over.
#20 Sep 15, 2014
When I saw Louis's ex-wife and how she is and the undisciplined kids, I was hoping that Aya will make a smart decision to turn back. I saw how her life will be, like hell! Now that they're married. I could only hope that she will learn how to speak and stand up for herself when being boss around and maltreated. I wonder what's the latest news about the 4 couples of 90 Days Fiance.

De-bone roast and remove all sinew and fat. Place bones and scraps in a large shallow pan and roast bones in a 450o oven until well-browned. Put roasted bones into a large pot and just cover with water. Coarsely chop four stalks celery and two unpeeled carrots. Add 1 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. pepper, and 2 Tbs. parsley flakes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 2-3 hours. Strain liquid; discard bones and vegetables. Degrease bouillon by placing in refrigerator 3-4 hours or overnight. Fat will rise to the surface and congeal so it is easy to remove and discard; reserve 2 C.
Cut meat into large chunks and place a few at a time into a food processor. Using a pulsing action, coarsely chop the meat. Beef should resemble very coarsely ground beef. Brown the beef a little at a time in hot oil in a large Dutch oven. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Add sausage to pot and brown well.
Remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Drain excess oil and sauté onions, bell pepper, jalapeños and garlic, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes or until tender. Return meat to pot. Add cumin, oregano, chipotle chilies with adobo sauce and 6 Tbs. of the chili powder; stir well. Add tomatoes and their juice, tomato paste, 1 can of beer, 2 C. reserved beef broth (or a 14-1/2 oz. can), vinegar, pepper and 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a high simmer, stirring with wooden spatula to release any bits of meat which have stuck to the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 2-3 hours. Add 2 (or more) Tbs. chili powder. Adjust seasonings. Add a bit of cayenne pepper if you want it hotter.
Cover and continue to simmer very slowly 2 hours (or more) for flavors to marry; stir occasionally. If you have time, make chili the day before you want to serve it as it is better the second day. Just place in refrigerator overnight and reheat. Just before serving, adjust consistency by adding additional beef broth if chili is too thick. If too thin, add a little masa flour. Makes 2 quarts.
4 to 4½ lb. 7-bone chuck roast
1 lb. mild Italian sausage &/or chorizo
3 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. white pepper
6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced fine
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes, not drained
1 lg. yellow onion, chopped coarse
1 lg. bell pepper, chopped coarse
3-4 jalapeño peppers, diced (with seeds)
1-2 chipotle chilies 2 Tbs. Adobo sauce
2 cans (12 oz.) Budweiser beer (drink one)
1/2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. cumin
12-oz can tomato paste

Why is Murdering Four Better Than Murdering One?
Now I see that in Toledo a trucker, Dellmus Colvin, who murdered four women had a plea deal accepted so he will avoid the death penalty and will spend the rest of his life in prison without parole. One key difference between Colvin and Rodriguez is the victim of choice.
Colvin killed prostitutes.
We assume Rodriguez would murder again, we know Colvin would. Yet Colvin gets 2 life sentences and Rodriguez gets the death penalty.
The easy answer for this difference would be to blame the legal system or the prosecutors, but they are a reflection of a bigger problem. Sexual crimes are too often judged and sentenced based on judgments about the victims.
We are horrified when obviously innocent young women are brutally murdered by a man who finds sexual satisfaction in the crime, but another crime with as many or more murder victims who are less than innocent may not register a single emotion.
Is it that we think certain women might as well have a sign around their neck that says, "murder me" or is that we think they somehow deserve punishment for not falling neating into the innocent-victim mold? Or is it that certain crimes hit us more viscerally or shake up our sense of safety in a way that other horrific crimes fail to do?
I'm not sure it's been studied, but it seems like murders that evoke public outrage get prosecuted more fiercely and may be more dangerous politically for the prosecutor to strike a plea deal. If that's what's happening then the death sentence may be less about deterring sex crimes and murder than it is about giving the public a cathartic release.
The criminal justice system becomes therapy for the masses, if you will.
But when public satisfaction trumps justice, nobody wins.

Chennai, Sep 11: It was a tense finish here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday night. And New Zealand denied Yuvraj Singh a winning comeback as they clinched a nail-biting one-run win over India in the Twenty20 International. Chasing 168, India were so near yet so far finishing at 166/4 in 20 overs.
It was all set up for Yuvraj to cap off a fairytale return to cricket. But Kiwi bowlers had other plans. Yuvraj, looking in fine touch in his comeback to international cricket for the first time in nine months, was at the crease till the last over. But he was bowled by a James Franklin slower ball with two balls remaining in the game. Rohit Sharma, on strike to get six off two balls, could manage only four. Indian captain MS Dhoni, known as the game's best finisher, was left to watch from the other end.
For most part of the chase, India were on target. First, it was Virat Kohli who hit his T20I best of 70. And later Yuvraj took charge with a 34. The left-hander moved well at the crease and hit delightful strokes, including two sixes and a four in his 26-ball 34. The hosts were cruising towards a winning finish but faltered in the end.
Yuvraj was dropped on nine and it resulted in a nasty collision between wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum and Kyle Mills. Both attempted to take the catch and collided. Mills was off the field for treatment and did not return to complete his quota of overs.
India needed 39 from the final 30 balls. In a T20 scenario, this should have been easy considering India had seven wickets in hand. But New Zealand rallied well. And the pitch slowed down towards the end making life difficult for Indian batsmen. Franklin and Jacob Oram were excellent in taking the pace off the ball. With 13 need off the final six balls, Yuvraj's dismissal on the fourth ball turned the match firmly in the visitors' favour.
McCullum won both Man-of-the-match and Man-of-the-series awards. With this win, New Zealand took the two-match series 1-0. The first game in Visakhapatnam was washed out without a ball bowled.
New Zealand Innings Report
Brendon McCullum's 55-ball 91 helped New Zealand recover from 2/2 and post 167/5 in 20 overs.
Irfan Pathan and Zaheer Khan rocked the Kiwi innings early as they dismissed opener Rob Nicol and Martin Guptill in quick succession. But after that McCullum took charge as he punished Indian bowlers. He used his feet well to reach his half century off 32 balls. When in sight of his second T20I hundred, he was removed by Irfan. The left-handed paceman Irfan ended with figures of 3/31. McCullum, batting at number three, hit 11 fours and three sixes.
Yuvraj Singh got an opportunity to bowl and had two overs. He conceded 14 runs but failed to take a wicket. However, he pouched an easy catch to dismiss James Franklin.
Toss Report
Yuvraj Singh returned to Indian team and captain MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to field first in the second and final Twenty20 International.
Virender Sehwag is not fit, said Dhoni. And there is no place for Harbhajan Singh. Lakshmipathy Balaji has made a comeback after a gap of more than three years. His last game (ODI) for India was in February 2009 against Sri Lanka. This is Balaji's T20I debut and that too on his home ground.
Earlier update
First the good news. There is no rain around at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, which will host its first ever Twenty20 International game. Yuvraj Singh's wait will be over in another few minutes as India and New Zealand will face off in the second and final Twenty20 International here on Tuesday.
Yuvraj and his fans were disappointed on Saturday as rain played spoilsport in Visakhapatnam. There was no play possible and the match was abandoned on September 8.
The left-handed Yuvraj has won his battle against cancer and is all set to wield his willow and bowl few overs for India.
Yuvraj (@YUVSTRONG12) tweeted earlier in the day: "Getting very restless! Just few more hours to go hope it doesn't rain in the evening!"
Yuvraj last played for India in November 2011. It was in a Test against West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Playing XIs:
India: MS Dhoni (captain and wicketkeeper), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Manoj Tiwary.
New Zealand: Ross Taylor (captain), Brendon McCullum (wicketkeeper), Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, James Franklin, Rob Nicol, Daniel Vettori, Adam Milne, Ronnie Hira, Kyle Mills, Jacob Oram.
Umpires: Vineet Kulkarni and S Ravi (both India)
Third umpire: Sudhir Asnani (India)

STARRING: Piper Austin, Nicole Brazzle, Kat, Avy Lee Roth, Stacey Cash, Ashley Jordan, Chanel Chavez, Persia, Angela Stone and Tiana Lynn
CREDITS: Directed by David Luger
The first scene stars two rambunctious nymphets: a sultry Angela Stone and co-star Tiana Lynn who incidentally, has more to give than her beguiling smile. Just after they are interviewed, Tiana goes quickly right into action and starts dialing Angela's pink telephone. Obviously hot and bothered, Tiana can't make up her mind if she wants to click her own mouse or munch Angela's shaved carpet. Indulge then in an awkward g/g that amazingly looks good on camera. Soon after Tiana peels her top off, an equally ornery guy comes along and plays with the two. Soon afterwards, the heat just gets the better of them and their union turns for the better. Tiana shines with her friskiness as she shows a bashful Angela how to properly park the beef in tuna town. On Tiana's lead, they perform a dual b.j., reverse cowgirl, abuck, VTM's and some impeccable backside porking. Angela discovers that she loves having her buttons mashed and polished. During these hot sessions, the two girls share their lust for fame by licking on the camera. How's that for engaging audience participation? In the end, Angela gets the honor of getting her face creamed and passing on the love juice to a proud Tiana! I like this first scene because the director seemingly wants to satisfy the girls and make the guy getting off as second priority. But the quality of the feed is not up to snuff. Some images tend to pixelate a bit but otherwise, it's tolerable.
This rather protracted vignette is special because it shows how ebony and ivory can live in perfect harmony even in the arena of porn! Vanilla and chocolate loving is the name of the game in this second scene. We first see black exotic Persia strutting her perfectly bubble booty and later get manhandled by sweet Nicole Brazzle's manicured paws. Then we see the siesta return the favor. If you're one who adores g/g action, your dick will salute you for this. Nicole later undoes her top (which Persia follows suit) and administers some appreciation of Persia's coffee-flavored jelly doughnuts. From upstairs, Nicole slips downstairs and gives that much needed attention to Persia's behind. Wait for the moment when Persia unfurls her lower cavern, because soon after, Nicole tries to do some spelunking of her own. The guy, in the form of a muscled hunk, finally arrives and gives Nicole a lesson in playing her shapely apples. In retaliation, the girls gang up on the hunk and suck on his popsicle. Vanilla and chocolate take turns in helmet buffing the hunky guy before the hunk finally pushes sweet Persia to dance the vertical mambo. Racial discrimination be damned, as Persia becomes a willing subject on another oil drilling to her ebony delight. The usual sideways,abuck, cowgirl and VTM are shown during the festivities. You know these girls are beginning to love the experience when their mouths form small o's in ecstasy. Eventually, the hunk releases the hostages on Nicole's welcoming mouth, who then passes on the jizz to a smiling Persia. Bring loads of tissue paper on this one. You'll need it after watching this.
We get another form of spicy g/g action with cute Stacey Cash and Brittany Murphy look-alike Avy Lee Roth. The scene opens with the two in bed, hot on the collar and deep in heavy research of lesbian experimentation. Reaffirming whether they both have the same womanly equipment, they turn to their fingers and tongues to investigate. Soon after, they enlist the aid of a black hunk to study his human anatomy. Their mouths have begun keen on surveying their assistant's trouser hound and have excited him so much that he demanded further study. Avy Lee and Stacey, always a trooper those two, insist on not just meeting minds but doing some hard software downloading into their moist database. With feats of cowgirl, missionary, VTM, anal, and a whole lot of spanking, the hot, hot inquiry turns into something very satisfying. The 3way is very conclusive, telling both girls to stay straight or suffer the consequences. Stacey, in the end, got the results that she wanted with black man's precious mayonnaise on her mouth, to be shared later with an eyeing Avy Lee. What other treasures lay ahead for us perv's?
Poor Piper Austin has a problem. She has this common physical condition most doctor's call "extreme itchiness". There's only one thing this girl needs to do and that is to be scratched, in a big, big way! She tries exhibitionism but displaying her privates didn't get her results. In her journey to soothe herself, we find her in a living room where a frisky couple: Ashley Jordan and a dorky-looking guy wait for her in the sofa. They also have the same unfortunate malady. They relieve this insane itch by fondling themselves and getting themselves into trouble, thinking that it would alleviate their problem. But Piper knows better. She then gets herself checked over by Ashley and gets her approval with an anointing of massage oil. Piper also gets acquainted with the dork's fat and prodigious love muscle. His tally whacker seems promising but the stupid look on his face just deflates me. In the hope of curing themselves of this malady, the three turned to each other for help. The two girls then proceeded to bop his sacred scepter in the hopes of finding a solution. Piper couldn't help herself until she finally relents to perform a cowgirl, the reverse, VTM, abuck and a sideways complete with tit teasing. Multi-tasking is key in this line of work, after all. Ashley, on the other hand, is just too proper to feel left out, so she readily submits to be plowed over by the dork. Mayhem in the form of doggy-style loving as both ladies feel the truncheon work its way into their love canals. We also get to see the dork do some foot worshipping in the process. Piper enjoys hamming in the spotlight, even when she's not being screwed. But in the end, Ashley gets her way. She manages to open the guy's faucet with her mouth and passes it over to Piper. Piper rewards her with a lick over. To their surprise, the itchiness has passed! It is a miracle!
We see dark-haired Chanel Chavez, and blonde girl Kat in a pensive mood, wondering about the cosmos and most specifically, why it's damn pleasurable to feel yourself up. Both of them agree that they look ready and good enough to eat with their small purple bikinis. They then wonder if it will feel better if they feel each other up, with their mouths. Yodeling in the canyon of love on the side wouldn't hurt, would it? But things suddenly turned differently when they encountered the longhaired lothario charging in on their little party. This hunky upstart better know how to work! Thankfully, he has the right equipment. Sizzling Kat and stupefying Chanel then shift gears and proceed on giving him the proper humming he so deserves. Soon afterwards, Kat did some tea bagging and Chanel gives him an upstairs lip smacking, which seem appropriate at that time. But then, the longhaired lothario has a few tricks up his sleeve, helping the girls pump out the finer details of their encounter. Some VTM, reverse cowgirl, double abuck, rear end and sideways frolic had to be done so an understanding can be reached. In the end, they drafted an agreement, reached thru swapping of cum between Kat and Chanel. An agreement you would also love to reach.

Just in time means that we will have to wait until the Free Market produces a solution to the problem and we don't like waiting. Furthermore, we do like certainty, certainty that a Free Market cannot deliver and only governments can. This much is true.

A few comparisons
So far we can't see major differences between what governments propose and the products Free Markets plan to offer, cost-wise. This is so because we are only at the initial stages of this process.

Some time ago we published the article The Time Preference Barrier. In it we explained how our desire to satisfy our needs as soon as possible determines, for the most part, when The Three Laws of Political System Changeare triggered. We are now going to apply this analysis to explain how this phenomenon impacts our way towards Libertarianism and Austrian Economics. But first, we need to understand how governments operate in…

This school of economic thought talks about the market structure and how government decisions affect it. The market structure is simply everything logistic that has to happen in order for a company to get itself into business.
Think about it.
- Managers have to be hired.
- Plans need to be drawn.
- Buildings need to be rented.
- Contractors contracted.
- Staff needs to be trained.
- Computerized systems (for accounting, administration and…
Net Neutrality - A Very Stupid Idea - Part 2 of 3

The actual issue is quite simple; there simply isn't enough bandwidth to go around and what do we do about it?
Do we "allow" bandwidth-hungry corps to cap our bandwidth? To slow it down so that they may make more money?
In a word? Yes.
Let's ignore the fact that governments built backbones with our money and "gift-wrapped" them for corporations. Theft is…

This is a topic that springs up into the public life once in a while, like ants after a rain. Flustered socialist (i.e. elected) government officials tell us how the thing (i.e. Net Neutrality) is on the verge of collapsing if we don't "do something about it". How, if we do nothing, corporate hordes will overrun our everyday life and we will forever be subjected to the dictatorship of greed.…
Why Are We Libertarians?

Yes, yes, we know. We have drilled into your head our response. It has to do with standards of living, with the stupidity of governments, with the idiocy of political systems and the inalienable right to be sovereign over our own properties.
And all this is just fine and true.
But why are Libertarians? Because in the end, all those lofty goals are just side effects of one simple human…

Over your lifespan you will experience what we call the "Naked In The Wind" effect. And you will feel so probably several times until you die.
But what is this effect?
In vernacular terms, it would seem that everything is going to shit.
We are all, collectively, traversing through one such period in human history. Think about it.
The Chinese are advancing their plans to dominate the world (as we…

Jennifer Metcalfe showed off her amazing figure as she donned a stunning bikini, while on holiday in Ibiza.
The Hollyoaks babe posted a photo of her wearing a green bikini and flowing white shirt, as she posed with a drink in her hand, against a picture perfect ocean backdrop.
Jennifer has been vocal about her fitness regime and it certainly looks as if her efforts have paid off as she flaunted her flat stomach and enviable pins.
The 34-year-old tweeted the snap and captioned it: "Thanks to BahimiBeachwear for my amazing bikini for Ibiza so many compliments on it!"
She recently told Fit & Well magazine: "I like my body the way it is and I don't want it to change. I'm at my happy weight and feel confident.
"As I've got older I've realised that if I'm a bit curvier one month I'm fine with it and know I can be slimmer next month. I've learnt to embrace the changes."
Jennifer was also named Rear of the Year earlier this year, and it's not hard to see why.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better.
