The Fetish Dolls series is an ode to womanly kink brought to you by Canadian fetish filmmaker Rod Vicious, Doghouse Digital, and Mile High Media. With five movies in the collection, there's not a cock to be seen, just girls who don't settle for plain vanilla sex. Fetish Dolls 5 stars some of the sexiest girls in the series to date, nine new models who are sure to make anyone sit up and take notice as they audition for Vicious and learn how to give and receive pleasure the kinky way.
Yumi U enters a small, cage-like, mirrored cubicle where Amy Lee is waiting with a bit in her mouth. Removing the bit, Yumi asks her new slave if she knows why she's there. Amy says it's because she's been a bad girl, but Yumi helpfully elaborates: "You've been teasing others on the street for no reason at all." Her punishment begins mildly enough with a little bit of spanking as she's bent over the table, which Amy really gets into. Before ratcheting it up to the next level, Yumi pauses to taste and finger Amy's little, bald pussy. This gets Yumi excited, so she decides it's Amy's turn to pleasure her. Amy gets her so worked up that Yumi decides to unzip her bustier to free her tits so they can be played with while she enjoys Amy's tongue action. So far this is all really sexy – two hot girls in bondage gear eating each other out, kissing, fondling – but it isn't all that kinky. Wait till Yumi gets hold of Amy's little nipples. She bites, twists, and pulls them as if to test Amy's limits and tease her… then breaks out the nipple suction cylinders. Both girls are excited to see Amy's nipples enlarge to the size of bonbons, and it makes those rosy tips even more sensitive for Yumi's teeth and tongue to play with them afterward. Then, made to kneel and eat out Yumi's pussy, Amy is forced to beg for a good hard fucking with a crystal-clear dildo. But first, Amy and her mistress take turns sucking the toy like a popsicle, getting it nice and lubed up so it'll slide right into Amy's dripping snatch. Once Amy has had her fun, it's her turn to learn how to give as good as she got. Yumi climbs up on the table and lets Amy fuck her from behind with another dildo. Judging by Yumi's vocalizations, it's clear that Amy has learned her lesson well – so well that she multitasks by rubbing her own clit too, bringing both of them to a satisfying climax. Yumi knows a good thing when she's got one, so she locks Amy up in the cage to play again another time soon.
Dressed very sexily in a fishnet body stocking, a brunette Lena Bacci has the gorgeous Erika Heaven strapped to a St. Andrew's cross and just waiting to be punished. Lena's slave is wearing a black leather bra with very convenient cutouts over the nipples. Sliding her paddle over Erika's spread thighs, Lena leans in to sample those perky nipples with her teeth and tongue. She gets a good feel for Erika's bald pussy, and then decides she deserves a toy. Lena sticks a purple dildo into Erika's waiting mouth, which she licks and sucks with great pleasure. But when Lena asks Erika if she wants the toy in her cunt, the slave playfully refuses. Lena gently demands for her to say she wants it, and with a swipe of the purple head across Erika's wet lips before Lena licks it clean, how could she not want it? The Mistress treats her slave to some twists and turns of the dildo as she slides it into her pussy. Strapped down to the cross, Erika is helpless to resist Lena's pierced tongue all over her clit and her nipples while she's getting fucked with that dildo, but who would want to? But then Lena decides she wants the participation of this beautiful, submissive girl, so she releases Erika from her bondage. Erika gets down from the cross and helps herself to Lena's luscious tits, pulling down the body stocking to access them better. Soon she discovers the body stocking has no crotch, and she takes full advantage of it, lapping up Lena's pierced labia with gusto. Lena pants, moans, and pulls on her own nipples as Erika brings her to orgasm with a combination of clit licking and a dildo thrusting into her pussy. Then, because Erika has been a bad (but very good) girl, Lena bends her over to paddle her naked, gorgeous ass. The Mistress rewards her sub by having her stand over her on what looks like a church pew (kinky indeed) for better access to that delicious snatch. Lena pumps a dildo in and out of Erika until she cums. With both kinky ladies satisfied for now, Lena hooks a finger into the O-ring on Erika's collar and leads her out of the room.
Fetish Dolls 5 is the balance between vanilla and hardcore kink. It's not going to make anyone turn away in disbelief or disgust – it's an erotic bridge into the world of fetish for those who are just starting to explore. Hardcore fetishists will find it a nice appetizer before a main course of something more extreme.

Old Photo Negatives of U.S. Soldiers in Vietnam War ~ 1960s Pictures
My youngest brother Jim in Vietnam
Vietnam War
This collection from old photo negatives was taken in the late 1960s by my brother Jim when he was serving one of his two tours of duty in Vietnam. Obviously he had some of his war buddies snap some photos of him in that setting also.
I never saw these photos in an album and until recently these negatives sat in an old shoebox on one of my mother's closet shelves in our home.
My brother died when he was only 35 years of age and his massive injuries which impaired the balance of his life occurred while he was still in the military...but not Vietnam.
He was injured in a helicopter crash at Fort Hood, Texas and was one of few survivors with most of the young men in that collision being killed at that site. So called war games were being conducted and the Secretary of Defense was there according to my memory. Despite the fact of it being horrendous weather with tornadoes being sighted in the area...the exercise commenced.
At 200 feet up in the air with just about zero visibility, two helicopters collided and fell like rocks to the earth.
My brother was hospitalized for a full nine months before ever being able to get a weekend pass outside of the hospital. He was not even expected to live at first but survived that accident only to have multiple surgeries on various parts of his body during the rest of his short lived life.
These old negatives while faded and scratched up are a part of history.
Vietnam Exchange Photo Service
Old photo negatives
Thanks to a friend of mine who purchased a machine that can turn old negatives and old slides into a JPEG format, these negatives can now be viewed. When my brother was alive, he never showed me a photo album containing these photos. So I have no idea if they were developed...or if so...whatever happened to them.
The photo below shows the holders of these negatives from the Vietnam theatre of war.

Vietnam photos
Most of these photos derived from the old negatives dating back to the Vietnam era are faded and most of them are scratched up in many places.
With photo editing I could only do so much. I eliminated some but not all of the scratches.
I debated about just presenting them in black and white due to the fading, but decided to present them as they were taken in color.
So while these might not be the best photos in the world...especially as they are viewed today...I am presenting them for all those people who may have served in Vietnam at or around the time when my brother was there.
My other brother John was in Vietnam at the same time...but he was stationed on the flagship of the fleet while in the Navy. The action he saw, while important, was much less intense than what Jim experienced.

My brother Jim in the 1960's
High School days
My brother was a difficult kid to get through school. My parents tried every which way to get him to comply with what was expected...simple things like doing his homework and turning in his papers on time. They tried being strict. They tried backing off and being more lenient.
When they finally had him tested, it turned out that he rated a genius level in many subjects and areas.
He was bored in school!
They checked into possibly utilizing private schools (although it would have been a financial hardship at the time) and even went so far as to check out some of them.
Fortunately the people at the schools admitted that while they would have been happy to have accepted Jim ...most of their students were there for disciplinary reasons and they did not think that they could have presented a curriculum that would have kept Jim interested and engaged.
Today there are undoubtedly more options regarding schooling for kids with genius level IQ's but that was back in the 1960s.

Vietnam era sign for U.S. fighting forces
When my brother Jim voluntarily joined the army, he found his niche in life. Not only did he excel but was one of the youngest instructors teaching most people above his rank the mechanics of helicopters.
My brother always was a tinkerer taking things apart and putting them back together even as a young kid. He once fixed an old antique radio of my grandfathers that had not worked in years. He was less than 10 years old when he did that!
As a tiny kid, once he took the faucet handles off during the middle of the night! Our family only had one bathroom at the time! Nice surprise for the rest of us in the morning. Ha! I have no idea what he was thinking or planning when he did that.
He was a good kid...just curious about so many things...and as we all found out ...highly intelligent.
My brother became a crew chief aboard helicopters during the two tours of duty that he saw in Vietnam.
That was extremely dangerous work with a high mortality rate.
A book that he read and which he recommended that we read to see a bit of what that experience was like was the following: Let a Soldier Die written by Gary Holland.
My mother and I both read that sobering book and came away with a bit of a numb feeling.
So many of the young men that my brother would have served with in Vietnam never came back home to their families. Those were buddies of his at the time.
War is horrible for all concerned. The reading of that book gave me some sense of the daily horrors that would have been his at the time he served.
Many Die Vietnam War Footage

Vietnam soldier photos
Here are some of the people that would have been sharing similar war-time experiences with my brother Jim. Hopefully they all made it home to their loved ones...but undoubtedly some of them did not. The majority of them were merely patriotic kids following orders and doing their duty as was my brother.
When they were not flying helicopters providing cover for our soldiers on the ground and providing quick transit to medical care for those wounded and picking up the war dead for preparation to be shipped home, they did as all soldiers do during that and other wars.
They joked with one another; wrote letters home; had their pin-up girl posters; did a little drinking and card playing; read books and magazines; and would have learned about each other as only soldiers in the heat of battle do.
These young men would have laid down their lives to protect one another and often did.

Base Camp
I am assuming that most of the pictures which follow this text revolve around the base camp or nearby places.
There are photos of a dog which was probably much beloved by the soldiers who thought of their pets back home.
The whir of helicopters coming and going would have been a constant factor. It is obvious that camouflage was used to disguise some of the equipment. Cattle are being herded in several of the photos. There are coils of barbed wire meant to protect our soldiers from enemies.
Judging from all the shirt-less young soldiers in these and other photos, it was undoubtedly hot and humid much of the time.

Vietnam photos
I wish I could ask my brother about the location of these photos obviously snapped while riding in a helicopter. Like so many war veterans, other than recommending that book to read, he did not talk much about his experiences while in Vietnam and of course he died at so young an age.
Perhaps some readers of this hub will recognize some of these places?

The Hell of Vietnam
Jan Daley on Bob Hope USO Tour - Vietnam
USO Christmas Show - Long Binh Vietnam 1971
I have no idea if the USO which so often entertains our troops during wartime was responsible for this show or if another group arranged it. The only thing of which I am certain is that there were probably loads of appreciative smiles, laughter, whistles, cat calls and applause when this troupe of shapely entertainers hit the stage and did their singing and displayed their talents to our young soldiers in the audience.
Did they remind our soldiers of girlfriends and wives back home? Perhaps!
In any case it would have relieved the stress of what they saw on a daily basis and was probably relished and talked about long after these entertainers left. It takes special people to put themselves in potential danger to go out and entertain troops in the middle of a war.
Bob Hope and many other celebrity entertainers as well as others have done this for many years and whoever these young girls were...they are to be thanked for their service to our country as well.

As stated at the top of this hub, while the photos derived from old and scratched up negatives dating back to the Vietnam War as experienced by my brother in the late 1960s are not the best by way of clarity and definition, I thought that their historical value was worth sharing.
My brother and other soldiers like him came back to a country that pretty much disdained their service to country or at the least, did not thank them. Draft dodging was rampant back in those days. Vietnam particularly towards the end of the war was not seen as a popular war and many of the soldiers were called names like "baby killers."
Of course after the accident at Fort Hood, his life was forever changed. He was deemed 100 percent disabled and had years of pain and suffering until his death. My brother went to a Veterans of Foreign Wars meeting only once and the other vets there did not welcome him. I know that it hurt his feelings.
My brother was one of the kindest, smartest and most gentle of human beings ever to inhabit this planet. He loved singing and was a self taught guitar player. While he could no longer smile after the accident which caused facial nerve paralysis (and so much more!) I could see the sparkle in his one eye (the other being sewn shut to protect the cornea). Those were the least of his injuries but ones that affected his appearance upon which strangers judged him.
Those smiley faces were all the rage when he could no longer smile.
This is a tribute to my brother Jim and all the soldiers who have served our country during wars...declared ones or others such as Vietnam. May they be long remembered and honored.
Vietnam War - House of the Rising Sun
Were you or a family member a soldier in Vietnam?
All of the people living in what was (at the time) North and South Vietnam as well as the many soldiers from different countries suffered through the Vietnam War. For those still living there remain scars and memories.
Was it worth the long drawn out battle? Depending upon where one lives, the answers I am sure would be different.
The United States as well as other countries are still involved in wars in different places. The outcomes are still to be determined in the cases of Iraq and Afghanistan. I truly wish that there would be no need for wars to ever take place. Everybody ultimately loses. Lives as well as money that could be put to better purposes are expended.
Will we as human beings sharing one small planet ever learn to live in peace?
From fellow Hubpage writers...
My brother Jim and I used to strum a few chords on a guitar...he was much better a player than I was...and we used to sing together.
The video below shows Peter, Paul and Mary singing one of the songs we regularly sang together.
I miss my brother Jim!

Pastore to fetch asking price
Javier Pastore's agent believes Palermo will achieve the 50million euros asking price they want for his services.
Last Updated: 15/06/11 4:18pm
Argentina star Javier Pastore's agent believes Palermo will achieve the €50million (£43.9m) asking price they want for his services.
The 21-year-old playmaker is being tracked by some of Europe's biggest names, including the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
President Maurizio Zamparini stated earlier this week the young superstar would only be leaving the Serie A club if his valuation of the player was met.
Although the £43.9m price tag is likely to deter some suitors, Pastore's agent Marcelo Simonian believes the club's reserve price will be met by at least one team.
"Zamparini has said at which price he would be willing to sell Pastore and I believe without a doubt, that he will be sold on those figures," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Dutch premiere
Festival year: 2015
Tribute to South African lawyer, writer and activist Albie Sachs who dedicated himself to the struggle against apartheid as early as the fifties. The military intelligence service placed a bomb in his car in 1988. While losing one arm and sight in one eye, he never relinquished his combativeness.
Albie Sachs (80) is a lawyer, judge, writer, art aficionado and above all a champion of freedom. Against the background of the dramatic fall of the South African apartheid regime, the film draws a portrait of a remarkable man and his lifelong struggle against injustice. As a young lawyer, Sachs defended people who were prosecuted under the apartheid laws. His activism came at a price: solitary confinement, torture, 25 years of exile and attempted murder.
While in exile, he took part in the negotiations that led to the dismantling of apartheid. Sachs returned to South Africa after the liberation of Nelson Mandela to assist in the drafting of the new Constitution. He became judge at the Constitutional Court, where he championed abolition of the death penalty and legalisation of same-sex marriage. Sachs believed that his 'soft vengeance' would be the establishment of freedom and democracy in South Africa.

Lower back pain is often caused by muscle strain. This class of injury is called musculoligamentous injury because both ligaments and muscles can be involved. The muscles that support the spine (called paraspinal muscles) are large and powerful, but they are also vulnerable because they are used for nearly all body movements. Treating lower-back strain properly will reduce the duration of the injury and reduce the chance of re-injury.
Rest your strained muscles. Don't lift anything heavy or put your back under any stress for several days. Alternate using heat and ice to treat the pain.
Take medicines to control your pain and inflammation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) are often used to treat back pain. NSAIDS work by blocking prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. and they are available in prescription and non-prescription strength. Common NSAIDS include aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve).
Sleep with a pillow between your legs to ease the pressure on your back.
Stretch your muscles slowly and carefully. Stop stretching if your pain increases. The Cat/Horse is a good general stretch.
- Get on the floor with your hands and knees squared under you and your back flat.
- Push the upper part of your back straight up, like a cat and hold for five seconds.
- Return to the squared position.
- Push your stomach toward the floor so your back is no longer flat and hold for five seconds.
- Return to the squared position.
- Gently and slowly swing your hips to the right and hold for five seconds.
- Return to center. Keep the reverse arch in your back.
- Gently and slowly swing your hips to the left and hold for five seconds.
- Return to the squared position.
- Slide back and flatten your body so your arms are outstretched and your stomach is on your thighs.
- Breathe deeply and relax.
Add exercises, such as the Back Hyperextension, to build muscle and help regain mobility once your pain has decreased.
- Lay on your stomach with your arms straight in front of you.
- Slowly raise your right arm and your left leg a few inches and hold for five seconds.
- Release
- Slowly raise your left arm and your right leg and hold for five seconds.
- Repeat four times a day, increasing the time to twenty seconds and the height to six inches over a four day period.

A Sneeze
What's happening? Sometimes a harbinger of illness, sometimes just a funny/annoying/necessary fact of life, this tiny interior explosion, like a cough, begins with an intake of air and the shutting of your vocal chords. But this time, when they release, the tongue and the uvula (that dangly thing at the back of your throat) block the air from coming out of the mouth, so it comes out of your nasal passages instead. And with it comes whatever secretions and germs are standing in the way.
Why is your body doing it? Just as a cough keeps the riffraff out of your airway, a sneeze kicks out the would-be invaders of your nose: pollen, bacteria, viruses, and dust. "It's your body's way of keeping the nasal passages clear and the sinuses sterile," says Tylor. But there are other reasons your body may squeak out a sneeze. For instance, though doctors don't entirely know why, you sometimes sneeze when you look at a bright light such as the sun (a response known as a photic sneeze reflex).
What should you do? Well, don't sneeze with abandon into a crowd—you'll be spraying germs. Instead, sneeze into your elbow, sleeve, or a tissue, and then wash your hands or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer directly afterward. Tylor says there is usually no harm in stifling a sneeze, but given that this is your body's way of clearing out something harmful, it is best to let nature take its course. Blowing your nose frequently when you have a cold will cut down on your body's need to release the irritants. If your sneezes are associated with fever, chills, muscle aches, or a cough, you may have a cold or even the flu and might want to give your doc a call. Sneezes that come on seasonally or when there is a change in the climate and are accompanied by itching eyes or clear nasal drainage are more likely due to allergies, in which case your doctor can prescribe a medication to keep them under control.

American Eagle Energy Corporation announces an operations update for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2014, capital spending and production guidance, and estimated proved reserves for year-end 2014.
Operated Well Development
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, American Eagle added three gross (1.8 net) wells to production. As announced previously, the Donald 15-33S (Three Forks long lateral) well, the last of six wells developed under the Company's Farm-Out program, produced an average of 312 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) during the first 30 days of production.
The Rick 13-31 (Three Forks short-lateral) well produced an average of 267 BOEPD during the first 30 days of production. The Huffman 15-34S (Three Forks long-lateral) well, in which the Company owns a 94% working interest ("WI"), was the second well stimulated by American Eagle using slickwater stimulation.
The Huffman well was brought on production in December 2014 and averaged 261 BOEPD during the first 30 days of production. The Huffman well has averaged 266 BOEPD during February 2015, which is similar to the flat, stable production behavior observed in the Eli 8-1E (Bakken long-lateral) well, which was the Company's initial slickwater completion.

Great Location! - nice staff!- decor has been updated to appear modern but the building is old and showing signs of age (leaking vintage cracked toilet in our room - also would run during the night and flush itself periodically - we called it in to maintenance and they fixed but it started doing it again within a day - our friends room had the original bath tub that needed to be replaced - heating and air were loud and problematic through out the week - a standard report from guests in the hotel.) There was a coat rack on our wall that clearly had 5 hooks at some point - 2 were ripped out of the wall and had been patched instead of replaced resulting in a lack of storage space - why the two hooks hadn't been replaced is not clear as it seems this would be an easy fix - but apparently the hotel didn't care to replace them. Not enough elevators and they also need updating (slow and we were stuck in one at one point when it decided to stop working with the door half way closed - we squeezed through the opening to get out but it was then out of service the next day resulting in long lines). The property is too large for the elevator capacity so if the hotel is fully booked be prepared to wait or take the steps with your ski boots on!! Housekeeping is very inconsistent - room was made up each day - but sometimes not until 4 or 5 pm - (sometimes we received two towels, sometimes 4, sometimes soap and no shampoo -sometimes the other way around -same with the bottled water, cups, glasses and coffee/tea, sugar, cream etc provided - could never be sure what you'd come back to and often had to put a call in for missing items to be replenished). Maintenance had a strange habit of refilling one of the two outdoor hot tubs with cold water and chemicals just in time for apres ski - resulting in everyone jamming into the one tub that was hot - why they would do this in the afternoon rather than the morning was a mystery to all of us. They also didn't seem to concerned about salting the area around the hot tub so watch your step - saw two guests slip getting out - one hitting the ground scrapping her elbow when she fell. Westin may have miscalculated this on in thinking that the slick interior renovation would be enough to cover the building and systems issues.The staff is very nice and seems they are trying - but I expect more from Westin - they are really going to have to step it up to bring this property up to the standards Westin guests are accustomed to.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Located in the center of Snowmass Village, the Westin Snowmass Resort offers guests ski-in/ski-out access to Snowmass Mountain, which has more trails than any other mountain in the country. ... more less

I just finished it a couple of days ago because it takes me 8 months to read anything, and I just wanted to see if I was the only one in this cult following of literature on the Giant Bomb forums. I'd highly recommend checking it out regardless.

On a more serious note, I did read rather ravenously a few years ago, but with my free time dwindling, I've had to focus on other things. Dante's Inferno was probably my favorite of that time.
lol...it's worth disclaiming that I'm not posting this out of any interest for commercial or financial gain. If I were doing that, I'd be promoting my own book which I dreamt about writing once. It was a bestseller, obviously. If nobody's read City Under the Moon then they haven't, but if they haven't they should.

Oh, and the "Boehner's daughter" phrase emphasizes yet again your naivete.
The only naivete on display are you and a gutless Speaker of the House who seems to apparently have no problem purging fiscal reserved Representatives from committeeships and making bad deals with democrats.
I will wait till all this settles before commenting again in hopes of some type of strategic maneuvering by the crybaby, but he better have something special up his sleeve besides cuts in the rate of growth and ending several tax deductions.

Welcome to sewing for boys month on the blog! It's been a while since I've showcased stuff I've made for my guys here, so all month long we're going to be focusing on them. And can I say, y'all, that I love the current fashion sweatpants trend? It's the perfect warm and comfy look and I will be sad one day when it is declared out of style. My boys wanted in on the trend too (they look at my boys fashion Pinterest board with me sometimes to give me ideas) and so today I'm sharing the Slim Sweats pattern – a pair of boys sweatpants that's super easy to sew with just enough detailing to be right on trend.
Also, they're perfect for a game of basketball with your brother. So perfect that if your older brother is skinny he might steal a pair of yours.
To make the Slim Sweats you'll need:
- 2/3 yd of sweatshirt fleece or other knit fabric (at least 10% stretch).
- 2/3 yd of rib knit fabric
- 22 inches of 1 inch wide elastic.
- The pattern. This pattern is for a kids size 5. If you need to make the pattern bigger or smaller, check out this post.
- Tape your pattern together and cut it out. Need help with PDF Patterns? See this post.
Option 1: Download for free.
To download the pattern for free, subscribe to the Melly Sews Weekly Newsletter. AFTER you sign up, you'll get a confirmation email – and you have to confirm or my email service can't send you the free pattern. But once you do confirm, you'll get access to not just this but several other free patterns. Woot!
(PS – if you have trouble finding the pattern as a subscriber, check this post)
Please note that all my free patterns are licensed for personal use only (no selling items made from this without a limited production license) and by downloading you are agreeing to this license.
Option 2: Purchase this one size pattern for $2.
Use this link or the button above to purchase a pattern file. You'll be emailed a download link for a file that includes the instructions in this tutorial and the pattern pieces. You'll also be able to download this file in my shop.
Place the cargo flap pieces right sides together with the lining (I used some thinner scrap knit i had for lining; you could even use woven fabric here). Sew around the edges of the flap, leaving an opening in the top straight seam. Clip the corners. Turn the flap right side out and press. Topstitch if desired. Repeat with other flap. (Note: pockets do not have to be sewn with a stretch stitch)
Fold the cargo pockets right sides together and stitch the pleat for about 1/2 inch. Open, press pleat flat, then pin the pocket to the lining. Stitch around, leaving an opening on one side to turn the pocket. Clip corners, turn pocket and press. Repeat with other pocket.
Stitch pockets in place, making sure to backstitch at beginning and end.
Stitch flaps on top of pockets.
Sew along the seam marking for the mock fly. Use a basting stitch from the top to the red box in the image below, then backstitch, then switch to a zig-zag or other stretch stitch length for the remaining seam.
Need help with sewing knits? See this post.
Open the pants with the wrong side up. Fold the flap over to the left and stitch along the fly curve. Make sure your bobbin thread is the color you want, as this stitching will show on the front side.
Use a seam ripper to remove the basting stitches and complete the mock fly.
Sew the back rise using a stretch stitch.
Fold the pants right sides together so that you can match the crotch seams. Pin them and the inseams as well, then sew both inseams in one long seam, using a stretch stitch. Turn the pants right side out.
Fold the waistband in half, matching the short edges. Stitch, using a stretch stitch.
Fold the cuffs in half, right sides together, PERPENDICULAR to the fold line and match the raw edges. Sew the side seam. Fold on the fold line and match the raw edges, creating a tube. Place this tube around the leg of the pants, matching the seams. Sew with a stretch stitch through all 3 layers (2 cuff layers and 1 pant layer). You will need to stretch the cuff slightly to fit.
Apply the waistband in the same manner as the cuffs, EXCEPT leave an opening to insert elastic.
Using a safety pin through the end of the elastic, insert it in the waistband, being careful not to twist. Sew the elastic ends together, overlapping 1 inch. (Note – you may want to check the elastic length on your own child. For Bean I had to shorten my elastic to 20 inches before sewing). Sew the opening of the waistband closed and you're done!
Now throw on those sweats and find a pickup game. Preferably in the mud.
Happy sewing,

Guess where you're eating? At an EatDenver restaurant, if you're Lucy
Lori Midson
Cafe Society served up five Guess where? contests last week, ranging from some still-unidentified tamales to what could be the world's worst green chile at the Butcher Block on Washington to this decent deli sandwich.
For correctly identifying it as coming from Delaney's Pub, Lucy wins an EatDenver deck.
Lucy, send your contact info to email@example.com, and we'll send you the prize.
But really, anyone who buys an EatDenver deck is a winner: For $50, you get 52 cards, each offering a $10 discount at a local, independent restaurant that's a member of EatDenver (formerly DINR, the Denver Independent Network of Restaurants). You can buy the decks at any Tattered Cover location or at www.eatdenver.com.
Or, of course, you can win one right here. Because next Monday, Cafe Society will again award a deck to one of the winners of the previous week's Guess Where I'm Eating/Drinking posts.

It doesn't take too much time looking at newspaper headlines to figure out that Americans today are unusually stressed, anxious and depressed.
According to data released this summer, the number of Americans taking antidepressants doubled in the decade before 1995, to a full 10 percent of our population.
There's a good bet that number has increased even further in recent months. A short list of what Americans are worried about these days includes: the global economy; the national economy; America's plummet from world economic superpower; the spike in unemployment into double-digit territory; the shrinking of 401k retirement accounts; the number of homes worth less than what is owed on them; skyrocketing foreclosures; uncertainty about the future of health care for the elderly, the infirm and disabled and the unborn; the persistent threat of terrorism; a fear that our country is overextended in two overseas wars.
Maybe that helps explain the resurgence of the popularity of apocalypse panic, as evidenced by the buzz around movies such as "2012," a box office sensation that plays on fears that the world will end when the Mayan calendar expires (see story, Pages 9-12). There's a short-term emotional satisfaction in fixating on fictional problems we can do absolutely nothing about when we're up to our necks in real troubles.
The doomsday hype has gotten so out of hand that a scientist with NASA's Astrobiology Institute told a newspaper that more than 1,000 people have contacted him for confirmation that the end is near, and that he's "even had cases of teenagers writing to me saying they are contemplating suicide because they don't want to see the world end."
Culture being as powerful an influence as it is, Catholic Americans are no less likely to experience these fears, even if they don't always manifest them so extremely.
Recent intra-Church battles bear a tinge, too, of the hysteria of the end-times fear. While there is no doubt that there are no issues more important than those that deal with our faith, the sheer number of self-proclaimed prophets of our time — from one end of the ideological spectrum to the other — should make us wary of their claims. That's especially true when they are set up in opposition to the successors of the apostles, the bishops, dividing the flock from their shepherds.
To get caught in the fear and anxiety whipped up by today's false prophets — whether warning about the destruction of the Church by autocratic hierarchy or liberal laymen, proclaiming President Barack Obama either a messiah or Antichrist, or professing any other in a litany of threats of subterfuge and destruction — is to be lessened as a Christian, because it means a loss of the critical virtue of hope.
Hope stabilizes us and keeps us pointed in the right direction. It means a desire for the good (ultimately, our eternal happiness) and an expectation that we can achieve it (even if we know it will be difficult). It is a virtue that enables us to love our enemies, and earnestly desire their greatest good, too.
As believers, we know the end of the story — the good guys win. Christ, and trust in him, is a Christian's sure mooring, even in the stormiest of times.
At a different turbulent time, St. Paul could have been addressing us when he told the early Christians, "Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect" (Rom 12:2).

What is your motivation when things seem to be snowballing on you?
My motivation is that I worked 23 years as an Accountant in Telecommunications, before IT, and having to adhere to special rules and regulations made me feel that whatever I did had already been done, where is the fun in that? I got into IT at an early age, and when I finally got this position have never looked back, except to say good ridance.
Words of Advice: Always follow your passion, mine has always been IT, Programming, Networking, etc. I just love this! and having fun too, never dreamed of having an IT job, but always wished. If you do not follow your passion you will never be happy, and is that not what it is all about?

My Motivation:
Mortgage payment
Car payments
and this!!!!!
Sep 2, 2009 at 3:22 UTC
I was fortunate to start working in IT when I was 18. It is career in which I love. IT keeps me humble and Lord knows I don't do it for the money or appreciation. What keeps me going is the ever changing technology and the challenge to keep up.
Sep 2, 2009 at 3:59 UTC
It's a fun job that's not back breaking work and most of the time you're looked at as a hero coming in to save the day. Most of the time.
Sep 2, 2009 at 6:24 UTC
Knowledge is the number one thing, we get nowhere without expanding it in this field while alot of other fields are allowed to go stagnant... makes me sick.
The resentment of non technical employees, insanly strict deadlines, stress on top of more stress and of course the booze.
hmm, masochist much?
Sep 3, 2009 at 7:52 UTC
"Follow your passion" is great advice and for me that's "serving the customer", whether that customer be internal or external. When I do something nice for someone or I do something technical that makes their day easier/better they are almost always very appreciative, which in turn makes me feel as though I been of benefit. That's all I need.
Sep 3, 2009 at 9:46 UTC
I need dolla's to support my crack habit.
But seriously though, it's the fundamental logical reasoning the motivates me, problem solving, and looking like a genius in the eyes of my users feeds my ego. I get paid to solve puzzles and tinker with gadgets all day, that's been my dream job since I was 5. Not to say it's all roses, good lord, there are days when I just want go dig ditches for a living...but the big picture is I like my job and I work with some really good people. I can't say everyone is that lucky.
Sep 3, 2009 at 9:53 UTC
Im just in IT for the money to be honest. I already liked computers at a pretty young age and been playing with them ever since. Just seemed like the logical choice in profession. Will always have room to grow and places to go in IT.

Valentine's Day Mixed Case
Your Valentine's Day Mixed Case includes
Fincalegre Cava Brut
Cava Brut is the flagship for Fincalegre's successful effort to provide luxurious sparkling wines at approachable prices. Made from hand-picked Spanish Macabeo (40%), Xarel-lo (40%) and Chardonnay (20%) grapes, the result is a stunning sparkler that hews closer to champagne than prosecco. This bubbly's fresh fruit flavors make for an aperitif that can be enjoyed throughout the meal, especially if you're serving sushi, or spicier Mexican and Asian dishes. Fincalegre Cava Brut won the Gold medal for Best Cava in the 2016 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition, with a score of 90 points.
James and Bell Zinfandel
This unpretentious, understated and easy-drinking red wine captured our attention immediately. Its aromas focus on sweet berry and licorice, while gentle tannins let the delicate fruit flavors shine through.
El Portal Red Blend
Both Zinfandel and Merlot are popular grapes on their own, and this combination with Syrah proves that the sum can be greater than its parts. In this smooth and ripe-flavored red, blackberry and cherry aromas are joined by notes of black currant, plum, spice and violet. Touches of sweet tobacco and spice accentuate the fruit-forward flavor, making El Portal Red Blend very food friendly.
Ayrum Tempranillo
Ayrum is Turkish for "distinctive," the perfect way to describe this dry and fruity Valdepeñas DO Spanish wine. Upon opening a bottle of Ayrum, you receive notes of strawberry preserves and vibrant cherry, leading to a rich fruit flavor without a weighted body. Ayrum Tempranillo drinks light and finishes with medium tannins, making it the perfect food lover's companion. We suggest opening your bottle an hour before your meal, giving the wine time to breathe and fully express itself.
Vista De Noche Malbec
Vista de Noche Malbec is a profound red, with dark fruits like blackberry mingling with herbaceous notes and a nice, smoky overlay. This full-bodied wine is destined to be best friends with many grilled meats. It's got a lot of personality, and a finish that can please the wine drinker in all of us.
Spencer Family Reserve Cask Red
Fill your glass with this deliciously smooth, robust red. Sweet black fruit aromas added to layers of ripe black cherry and plum flavors reflect a heavenly marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah. Forward fruit flavors and a velvety texture make Spencer Family Cask Reserve the go-to red wine for everyday enjoyment.
Val Di Botte Toscana Rosso I.G.T.
This central Italian red boasts up-front flavors of raspberry and strawberry with hints of roasted pepper and fresh herbs. The finish is light to medium with a smooth tannin structure. Pour Val di Botte Toscana Rosso with your favorite tomato-based Italian dishes, especially if you open it early and let it breathe before drinking.
Snickerdoodle Chardonnay
Crisp, refreshing chardonnay is the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of white wine. Snickerdoodle makes a fresh Chardonnay, with flavors of green apple, nectarine and juicy melon. A subtle hint of oak adds complexity without cutting into the wine's crispness, resulting in a delicious gem of a California Chardonnay.
MYTH Moscato
MYTH Moscato is produced in the semi-sweet and fruity new world style. Taste it for peach and tangerine flavors, with sweet floral aromas. Moscato grapes are amazingly versatile, and MYTH's version will be wonderful with your choice of flavorful cuisine.
Camartina Chardonnay
The Camartina Estate Bottled Chardonnay is a smooth white wine with moderate acidity and a clean minerality. Its aromas and flavors of tropical fruit and lean pear make it perfect for white meats and full-bodied fish, creamy seafood recipes and your favorite corn-based dishes. Camartina Chardonnay comes from Chile's esteemed and innovative Colchagua Valley, which was awarded Wine Region of the Year by Wine Enthusiast Magazine in 2005.
Spur Ranch Sauvignon Blanc
With a crisp acidity and notes of citrus and mineral, this lively Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to the pioneering spirit of California's wine frontiers. From bountiful valleys to windswept mountain slopes, Spur Ranch's winemakers work with growers to create wines of unbridled flavor and richness that harness the region's unique character.
Vina San Juan White Blend
La Mancha is the land of Hillside casas, Don Quixote, and truly special white wine like Viña San Juan's blend of Chardonnay, Verdejo, and Viura. This elegant Spanish white has wonderful, fresh aromas of herbs, apple, peach, and tropical fruit, which reflect on the palate and lead to a lovely, silky finish. This makes for a perfect pairing with tapas and a range of Spanish seafood dishes including fish with butter sauce, pasta and cheese.

- Description
DetailsThe most devastating explosion of hops to hit North America in centuries. Beneath the stout-like blackness is a moving force of earthy pine, citrusy grapefruit, ripe melon and gooseberry. A compressed wave of roasted malt is just an early warning sign—groundshaking bitterness magnifies into a tsunami of passionfruit and lychee. In the aftermath of destruction, Subduction finishes dry with only hints of stone fruit and sandy-colored lacing in its wake.

We guarantee our kits turn out 'awesome' and the beer will be awesome even if it has 50 ibus instead of 40. Those are based on agricultural factors as well as many factors of your home brewery equipment. This recipe will have about 80-100 IBUs and the ABV would sit around 6.5-7% Cheers!

Nandrolone Decanoate 360-70-3 Anabolic Nandrolone Steroid Deca Durabolin Powder
Quick Detail:
Nandrolone Decanoate 360-70-3 Anabolic Steroid Powder Deca Durabolin Powder
1. CAS No: 360-70-3
2. Molecular Formula: C28H44O3
3. Assay: 97.0%~103.0%
4. Appearance: White crystalline powder.
5. Usage:can be used as pharmaceutical material, used to treat anemia associated with chronic (long-term) kidney failure.
Nandrolone decanoate is an injectable sort of the anabolic steroid nandrolone.
The decanoate ester supplies a slow release of nandrolone from the site of injection, continuation for up to 3 weeks.
Suchlike testosterone, nandrolone displays relatively powerful anabolic attributes. Dissimilar testosterone, however, its tissue-building action is attended by weak androgenic facilities.
The modest attributes of nandrolone decanoate have made it among the most pop injectable steroids in global, highly preferred by athletes for its power to promote important strength and lean muscle mass increases without strong androgenic or estrogenic side effects.

veterinary drug marketplaces. Composing and dose might deviate by country and manufacturer, but generally comprise 25 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml, or 200 mg/ml of steroid soluble in oil.
Structural Characteristics:
Nandrolone decanoate is a modified sort of nandrolone.
Esterified steroids are proposed to prolong the window of therapeutical effect following administration, allowable for a lower periodic injection docket compared to injections of free (unesterified) steroid.
Nandrolone decanoate offers a keen top in nandrolone release 24-48 hours accompanying deep intramuscular injection, which constantly goes down to near baseline points about 2 weeks later. The average depot-release half life of nandrolone decanoate is eight days.
Side Effects (Estrogenic):
Nandrolone has a modest inclination for estrogen conversion,counted on to be just approximately twenty percent of that seen with testosterone. It is because while the liver could commute nandrolone to estradiol, in next more activist sites of steroid aromatization specified fatty tissue nandrolone is far more closed to this action.
Nandrolone could induce side effects such as enlarged water retention, body fat gain, and gynecomastia. An anti-estrogen like clomiphene citrate or tamoxifen citrate could be required to preclude estrogenic side effects if they come.

Proschwitz pens Tigers deal
Hull City have completed the signing of German target-man Nick Proschwitz from SC Paderborn for a fee of £2.6million.
Last Updated: 19/07/12 2:32pm
Hull City have completed the signing of German target-man Nick Proschwitz from SC Paderborn for a fee of £2.6million.
The 25-year-old, who has signed a three-year deal at the KC Stadium, scored 17 goals in 33 games in the process of becoming the joint top scorer in Germany's second tier last season.
The tall striker had an offer from Bundesliga side Greuther Furth but opted for Championship side Hull in the hope of winning promotion to the Premier League.
"I'm delighted to have completed my move to the club," he told the Hull's official website after training with his new team-mates on Thursday.
"I think I have joined a great group of lads. Everyone is friendly, everyone is nice and, most importantly, everyone likes to work and train hard which is exactly what I like to do.
"I think Hull City is the perfect club for me and the next stage of my career - I'm proud to call myself a Hull City player.
"I had a great time at my previous club but that is in the past and the only thing I'm focused on now is my future with Hull City.
"Playing in the Premier League is a big goal for me and I believe Hull City can help me achieve that goal.
"I believe the Premier League and the German Bundesliga are the biggest leagues in world football and, if I can play in the top-flight of English football, it would be a dream come true for me."
Before the completion of the deal, Hull boss Steve Bruce had identified Proschwitz as exactly the sort of player his team needed.
"He's big, 6ft 3in, but he's mobile and can finish," Bruce told the Hull Daily Mail.
"His goals in Germany last year were all different types. He's young, at a good age and wants to come to England. He's tailor-made for England in the way he plays."
Proschwitz could make his Tigers bow in Friday's friendly at Grimsby.

How Do I Clean My Cake Dummies?
Decorating By mom23boys Updated 3 Jan 2009 , 5:38am by indydebi
I have a set of cake dummies that I used a while ago. I scrubbed them clean to get the fondant and piping gel off of them. Apparently I must have missed a tiny bit of the sugar residue because ants keep appearing on my cake dummies. Anyone have any tips on cleaning and storing them?
I let mine soak in hot soapy water, scrub them and after they're dry, I seal them in a 2 gallon size ziplock bag
I've never had ants show up on my decorated dummies. But I would agree that the big ziplok bag would help.

Feb. 25, 2014MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State Track and Field signed 11 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent for the 2015 season, head coach Cliff Rovelto announced Tuesday. In addition to the 11 new signees, the Wildcats also added three athletes to this season's roster, with two of the three already competing for the Wildcats since the start of January.
Rovelto commended his staff for their work to bring in the newest batch of K-State Wildcats.
"We are very excited to have added this outstanding group of athletes to our program," Rovelto said. "Each of them will have a significant and immediate impact on our team. Our staff has worked hard in the recruiting process and their efforts have paid significant dividends."

People, the physical environment, nutrition, and animal health products are all involved in keeping animals healthy. Only healthy animals are allowed to produce food. The people come easily to mind, like the farmer and the veterinarian, but there are also countless others involved in ensuring the milk, meat and eggs our animals produce that eventually reach our tables is safe.
Less than 3% of Canadians are now directly connected to the people who grow our food. While some may wax nostalgically about "Old McDonald's Farm", producing food today is far more like managing a company with many divisions. Farming the way it was done in the past is not only in a lot of ways inefficient, but not necessarily the best for the animal, the consumer or the environment.
While the farmer is the first point of contact, interacting with animals multiple times a day, there are a number of individuals (and animal health tools) that assist them in their role.
The veterinarian's expertise in animal health is second to none. A minimum of seven years of university education is required to achieve the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from one of Canada's 5 veterinary colleges:
Some may think that the veterinarian's only job is to help sick animals, nothing however, can be farther from the truth. A major role of the veterinarian is in helping farmers avoid disease on their farm. This is known as "Herd Health". From an animal health perspective, it involves setting up biosecurity protocols, vaccinating and taking samples of manure, milk or tissue from healthy animals to make sure that there are no animals that may have a sub-clinical disease. Herd health also involves identifying, segregating and treating sick animals, or removing from the herd entirely, those who have little chance of recovery.
It is just as important for animals to have a well-balanced diet as it is for people. Therefore, animal nutritionists have made a career out of making sure that our farm animals get all of the necessary nutrients for them to grow and produce safe food. Highly nutritional diets are developed for each stage of an animal's production cycle. For example calves are fed diets high in protein to help them develop strong bones, just like children. Later on, dairy cows that are ready to give birth to a calf will also have their diet tailored to meet their specific nutritional needs for both mother and calf.
Sometimes medications are applied to animals' feed as this is the only way to medicate a large group of animals. These medications must meet the requirements listed in the "Compendium of Medicated Ingredients Brochure" (CMIB) , a document developed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. This Compendium lists only those medicating ingredients allowed by Canadian regulation to be added to livestock feed. This document lists the species of livestock, the level of medication, the directions for feeding and the purpose for which each medicating ingredient may legally be used, as well as the brand of each medicating ingredient that is approved for use in Canada.
The Animal Nutrition Association of Canada (ANAC) represents the companies that manufacture livestock feed in Canada. They have developed a program that applies the HACCP-based principles developed for human food to animal feed. Their FeedAssure program is designed to ensure that animal feed contains only those ingredients that should be present are in fact in the feed.
Have you ever tried to 'pill a cat'? Imagine trying to do the same to a cow! Medicating an animal is tricky, and sometimes dangerous. For that reason, research scientists at animal health companies are continuously seeking ways to medicate animals that is the least invasive and as simple as possible for the owner.
There are a variety of ways to medicate animals including:
There are pros and cons to each technique, with some products being available in more than one format, like having the choice between a pill or an injection. However, changing this route of administration with some products can result in it having less or worse, having too much effect.
Compounding is the act of combining or mixing together two or more ingredients (one of which is a drug or pharmacologically active component) to create an end product in a final form that is appropriate for administration. It should only be done occasionally, if there is no approved medication that can be applied to a specific patient. More information on the topic of compounding can be found below:
Scientists, veterinarians and policy-makers working in either Health Canada's Veterinary Drugs Directorate, the Pest Management Review Agency; the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's Canadian Centre for Veterinary Biologics, or the Feeds Division all play a critical role in ensuring that the products available for use by Canadian farmers and veterinarians meet Canada's stringent standards for safety and efficacy. Our regulators are responsible for ensuring only those products that are eligible to be sold in Canada are manufactured according to strict good manufacturing practices.
The CAHI brochure here provides a great overview of many of the requirements that a manufacturer must meet in order to be eligible to sell animal health products in Canada. Only once our regulators are satisfied that these requirements are met, can a manufacturer of an animal medication, biologic, pesticide or feed sell their products into the Canadian marketplace.
The duties of the inspector are varied, with different government departments or private industry inspectors employed at all stages of a food animal's life. For example, Health Canada and Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspectors conduct audits of warehouse facilities holding animal drugs and biologics to ensure that the facilities meet minimum standards for temperature control, movement of product and security to name just a few. Commodity quality assurance programs ensure that producers meet specific standards for medication use, with a good example being the poultry industry's 'flock sheets'. These forms are filled out by poultry producers who are required to list any and all medications administered to their flock when they are shipped to the processing plant. Auditors / inspectors at the processing plant review these sheets to ensure that proper drug with-holding periods (withdrawal periods) are observed to avoid any potential medication residues in the meat. Veterinarians inspect cattle prior to processing to ensure only products from healthy animals reach our dinner tables. Milk samples are taken from each bulk tank before milk is loaded onto a milk truck to again inspect for unwanted residues. Layer upon layer of inspection is built into the Canadian food system to ensure only the safest, purest products reach Canadian consumers.
