Nuddy boobies and snatch are under the panties and the tank top of this adorable sleek filly, you bet! Oh dear, how brainy you are! It seems as though you have already come across a number of whores, dropping their spicey knicks and lifting their short tank tops. However, what orbs does Era, this hotty, have? And how about her cunt – is it bushy or hairless?
Sure, you can reply all panty fetish questions about Era free and easy, right? And you may also tell me all about her striking cameltoe, sappy perky orbs and buns valley. Moreover, you could denounce all Era is gonna do with her cunt, totties and underpinning in her sexy film. Come on, tell us!
If you have some doubts, collaborate us in watching Era"s fetish panty erotic art flick inside Pantiesville.com!
Some kitchen didos finish with sexercises on the desk, but the rest (especially done by two blameless young seductresses Cherry P. and Lolly) are way less hardcore but much naughty and startling. Let"s half open the cookroom door and take part in the excited lovelies in up-skirt pliskie, accidental coozy handle and other didos!
These merry girlfriends are just incapable to keep on serious while frying! Lolly and Cherry put up each other"s minis and tank tops, draw down the snow-white panties and meal their bare bodies – only to append a portion of fun to humdrum frying! As a result, the slutresses are flour-covered, thirsty, and prepared to depart from some few of rules!
60 les soft core photos of Lolly and Cherry are at SweetWhitePanties.com – treat yourself to their teeny but cuddly fetish panty sweets!
It looks so damn unworkable on occasion to portray a teen soft-core lezo frolic in a skimpy headline! Yea, two gracile lovelies in the lovely panties and socks Lara and Lera share a king-size wipe – they make an effort to cover themselves with this softie while being in the cook room (!?) and looking rather confused with their abruptly showing up nudity.
Yea, the teeny floozies stretch each other"s and their own brevities and afterward make away with these lovely pieces of silk-and-cotton fabric. Yea, coy and vehement chicks Lara and Lera polish their vags and titties vs. each other"s butts and backs and take delight in the filthiest a la horse-jockey petting. Is it possible to depict this in a skimpy title?
Watch this indescribable lezo halfway vestured and bare snuggling at Pantiesville.com!
Who ever would have thought that behind closed doors, these two hotties were two degenerate lesbian fuck sluts! The clip begins with a cute and slender redhead swimming at the beach; she looks fucking hot in her black bikini! Back home, she takes a nice hot shower to warm up and to wash the salt off her body. Back in the bedroom she puts on a sexy white corset and stockings, only to be joined by her voluptuous brunette girlfriend, also wearing lingerie. The horny sluts lick each others" pussies, with the redhead getting her taste of oral pleasure first before she pays her brunette partner back with a good tongue lashing of her own.
If you"ve never heard of a whale tail before, it"s when a girl has her jeans pulled down and her thong riding high. Jackie Daniels is a dark haired harlot who looks fucking incredible when she"s bending over and showing off her booty. She is enticing Christian XXX with that lovely booty, and you"d want to just bang here right there and then once you start to see the way she"s moving. She strips down out of her thong eventually, with her pussy soaked and ready to go. Before long she gets his dick jumping and damn happy.
This ebony haired tramp is the type of whore that you always wanted to take home after a passionate party. She might seem like she"s a luscious and sweet type of model, but this 21 year old is as horny as they come. While she"s not too familiar with cameltoes, she quickly learns the beauty of them when she puts on a super firm, little thong that gives her the perfect cameltoe. She pushes the pantie string off to the side, climbing on top of this lucky man and working her coochie down on his stiff dick.
This chick might be one of the older lot of amateurs, but that just means that she"s far more open minded and knowledgeable than your normal amateur. She works as an adult model for a living, but this is possibly the first time she"s been asked to sport a cameltoe for the camera. I can"t help but stare at her giant natural tits for awhile. They aren"t a fan of her granny panties, so they swap it out for a sweet and sexy thong to give herself a sweet cameltoe. She gets fucked with those panties on, as she nearly gets attacked by a cock after she shows off what she thinks a juicy cameltoe is.
Imagine i"ve dragged a horny guy back to my hometown all the way from Paris. He saw me trying on some panties in a store near the airport and peeked inside taking a glimpse at my naked ass and pussy. After having a taste of that all he wanted to do is fuck the shit out of me. He bought a plane ticket and then sat right behind me on the bus towards home. I let him follow me right to my front door cause all that effort obviously deserved a juicy suck. Plus he was a hottie. I opened the door, turned around and looked at him with inviting eyes. He rushed inside like a horny stallion and once I closed the door he stripped everything off me. Every inch of my body got licked with passion and when getting to my wet porn star vagina it made loud squashy sounds, assuring him that I was in big fuck need. And he damaged my porn star pussy for one straight hour, using my boobs as handles. It felt so good that I let him watch me perform in front of my webcam on webcams.com...Click here to view our last show pics and here to view our profile and find out more about us.

Mount Russell Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|East Ridge
Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2017
|Day hiked Russell and Carillon from Whitney Portal. Round trip took around 8 and a half hours. Russell was my final CA 14er.
|Posted Oct 11, 2017 10:18 am
|East Ridge
Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2017
|Up the east ridge, which had epic exposure in spots. Great views of Whitney and a spectacular scramble.
|Posted Sep 5, 2017 1:31 pm
|Found a better way
Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2016
|We climbed the chute and wall before the normal chute below the East Ridge. It gets you out of the sand sooner and the wall at the top of the chute is a fun class 3/4 climb. It looks class 5 from a distance.
This is the chute that in most guidebooks etc. labelled as: don't climb this chute.
|Posted Sep 15, 2016 10:23 pm
|Lots of Class 3
Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2016
|After scouting the correct pass from Whitney, it took me a few attempts to gain the Russel-Carrilon Pass. After finally gaining on that rock strewn wet ledge, I did the traverse. Was that the best kind of rock for a ridge traverse? Super slabby and high friction. Returned to camp at Iceberg Lake.
|Posted Sep 15, 2016 12:51 pm
|Long Day
Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2016
|Hauled a load from the Portal to UBSL before ascending the Rockwell Variation to the East Ridge. Descended the sand scree after tagging Carillon.
|Posted Sep 12, 2016 11:18 am
|East Ridge Dayhike
Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2016
|Started the hike at 3:15am out of Whitney Portal's overnight parking lot. Rob and Tam, Frank and Brenda, and I Instantly started passing a dozen or so hikers before we left the main trail. We hiked in the dark all the way up to the Slabs just below Upper Boy Scout lake where we watched the sun rise. Just before we reached the slabs we found David, a member of our group who had left 30 min earlier than us. We filtered water there and then started hiking up the scree slog to the Hanging valley just below the Russell-Carillon pass. We were at the pass by 10am. The ridge was awesome the whole way with great hands and feet. Solid class 3 route + that exposure is insane! Summited at 12:30 and started going down just before 1. We filtered water again at the spot just below Upper Boy Scout lake. We arrived at the parking lot at 8pm and said our goodbyes to one another. A great day in the Sierras it was.

|Fourth time was the charm. Weathered off the East Ridge twice last year, and some unfortunate snow placement in June. As it was, I only got about ten minutes on the summit, as a storm was coming in (snow and rain began about the time I was back on the Russell/Carillon saddle). Day hike from Whitney Portal.
|Posted Oct 23, 2015 5:16 pm
|Russell - the coolest looking mountain I've seen so far
Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2014
|I was very nervous going up to Russell due to never climbing a class 3 (on the East Ridge)- except for Muir, but that has only a short class 3 section. It turned out it is not as bad. The exposure, indeed great, did not scare me since I'm not afraid of heights. To get to the blade however, it is not for casual hikers.

|East Ridge day hike
Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2013
|2nd time up the East Ridge (this time with Todd). This was a long day, as we were not acclimated. First time was back in the mid 80's with Jim, after a week in Tuolumne Meadows and we blazed it. Also climbed the Fish Hook Arete with Marty in 1996 (one of the best climbing routes I have done in the Sierra - Not difficult, but perfect rock and a great location).

At some point in life, nearly all of us face a major medical problem. If it's a life-threatening illness, price may seem irrelevant. If it's surgery to correct a less dire problem, price might not matter once you hit your insurance plan's out-of-pocket maximum.
And, really, who can tell you what the price is, anyway?
Doctors usually have no idea. Hospitals don't make it easy to find out.
Yet it isn't as hard to get the basics as I thought. For example, go to www.txpricepoint.org. The website is maintained by the Texas Hospital Association, and uses data reported to the Texas Department of Health Services. Here you can find every hospital in the state, and what it charges for many of the more common inpatient procedures.
At HCA Medical Center of Plano, the average charge last year for a heart bypass was $241,332. The average for all hospitals in Collin County was $164,757.
At Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, the average charge for a bypass was $123,124. The average for all hospitals in Dallas County was $151,027.
Three years ago, only a third of the country's health insurance plans offered consumers an upfront estimate of their medical costs. Now two-thirds of them do. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, Cigna, Humana and United Healthcare all offer consumers estimates or ways to figure out prices in advance.
Hardly anyone uses them. A survey of health plans done in 2012-13 found only 2 percent of insured consumers used these price calculators.
The Texas Price Point website has been up since 2007, but it doesn't get much traffic either. Since March 1, the site has had 1,477 unique users, Texas Hospital Association vice president Lance Lunsford said Friday.
In Massachusetts, where much more pricing detail is available, consumers aren't making much use of this service, either. Insurers say the most frequent users are health care providers who are checking out the competition.
Reference price
High-deductible insurance plans could make prices more important to consumers. Most employees who get their insurance at work are facing deductibles of more than $1,000. Many of the new Affordable Care Act plans have out-of-pocket maximums of $6,350 for an individual and $12,700 for a family.
It's a lot of money. But, as University of California Berkeley health economist James Robinson wrote last fall, "When admitted to a hospital … most patients reach their deductible before they reach the elevator."
Robinson writes that employees of Safeway and the California state government are finding price guides a lot more meaningful. That's because of reference pricing — a practice where employers set a maximum hospital price they're willing to cover for procedures like hip and knee replacements.
If a hospital charges more than the reference price, employees are free to use the hospital — but they are financially responsible for the difference between the reference price and the hospital's price.
Report cards
Health care consumers want to know about quality as well. There are ways of getting information online about hospital-acquired infections, re-admissions and consumer satisfaction. (See www.medicare. gov/hospitalcompare, for example; there's a link to it and other quality sites on txprice point.org.)
For some consumers, however, the hospitals with the highest prices tell them who's doing the best work. Once their financial obligation is met, pushing their insurance to the max can seem like an effective way of getting the best care.
Look again at those prices for bypass surgery. Is HCA's Medical Center of Plano worth nearly $120,000 more than Texas Health Presbyterian in Dallas?
The Leap Frog Group, a nonprofit created by big self-insured employers, grades hospitals on dozens of quality measures. It issues report cards every six months. The most recent report gave an A to both Medical Center of Plano and Dallas Presbyterian. They both got As last October. A year ago, however, Dallas Presbyterian got a B, while Medical Center of Plano got a C.

Prairie Churches of Bon Homme County, Dakota Territory: A Varicolored Tunic
Review by Edna Boardman, Bismarck, North Dakota
Kinsley, Maxine Shuurmans. Prairie Churches of Bon Homme County, Dakota Territory: A Varicolored Tunic. North Dakota State University Libraries, Germans from Russia Heritage Collection, Fargo, North Dakota, 2005.
Of 60 churches that once opened their doors in Bon Homme County in southeastern South Dakota, five remain, three of them dating to the county's settlement period. Some of the persons who built the original churches came from the eastern United States in the wake of the Civil War. Others, including families who came directly from the Old Country, were Norwegians, Hollanders, Czechs, Irish, English, Scots, and Poles. A large contingent was made up of Germans whose families had lived in Russia for about a century, now known as Germans from Russia. The area had a scattering of Indians, most of whom had been obliged to move to reservations, blacks, and Jews.
The denominations were as varied as the ethnic roots of the settlers: Reformed, Congregational, Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, Evangelical Lutheran, Dutch Reformed, Mennonite, and Hutterite Anabaptist. A few others came and went, leaving barely a trace.
When Kinsley identified Bon Homme County's churches and located information about them, she faced the dilemma of what to include. She opted for brevity. She clusters them by denomination, provides black and white pictures where possible, tells a bit about their founding and life span, and gives the names of the charter members and earliest ministers. For a very few churches, she lists all of the ministers. In the case of lesser-known denominations, such as Hutterites, she includes a thumbnail history of the group. She tells a bit more than the names of the persons involved in the creation of some of the churches. Many of the churches themselves were made of a local material called chalkrock, which may not have been as easy to work as the name suggests.
Persons with an interest in prairie churches or who had family who settled in eastern South Dakota will enjoy this book and thank Kinsley for her considerable work in putting it together. For their convenience, she has even indexed the names.

Mentor City Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance permitting limited bow-hunting of white-tailed deer in the city, but it was far from a slam-dunk.
Although all council members acknowledged something must be done about the deer population, some council members and a resident spoke passionately against the bow-hunting plan before the vote.
"This is a political fiasco, if you ask me," said Ward 1 Councilman Robert M. Shiner, who voted with Ward 2 Councilwoman Carolyn Bucey against the law. "We haven't put a comprehensive plan in place."
Bucey said she is in favor of deer culling but has major concerns about a bow hunt.
"I think we only have one time as legislators to do this right," she said.
The culling program is among eventual plans, using sharpshooters from the police department to save money. The city is working on a permit application to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to institute further measures.
"This is not the only piece but an important first step ... to make a dent in our problem," City Manager Ken Filipiak said.
Resident Dan Welker shared a number of statistics on how long it takes to stop a deer after it's hit with an arrow, noting their speed and instinct to run. He said it is likely to leave the property where it is legally being hunted and tracked.
"It's not going to be on that lot any longer, it's going to be running the streets of Mentor," he said.
Councilman at large Ray Kirchner and Ward 4 Councilman John Krueger said Mentor had the highest rate of car-deer collisions in the region, according to a recent report.
"If we don't do something now ... God forbid we have a serious accident," Kirchner said. "Ninety-nine percent of the emails we've received have supported it."
Councilwoman Janet Dowling said she initially was skeptical of the deer-control method but contacted other communities that have used bow hunting and was reassured that the practice is relatively safe.
Ward 3 Councilman Bruce Landeg said the risks are outweighed by the benefits of improved traffic safety, protecting the environment and boosting herd health.
Council President Scott Marn said council can change the law, if needed. Kirchner asked council to reconsider an ordinance that would prohibit feeding deer.
The law will allow individuals to hunt during deer season with bows and arrows and crossbows on parcels of 5 or more acres situated on no more than three contiguous properties with the owner's written permission.
It is not allowed on Sundays. Hunters must get a permit from the police chief; hunt from a fixed, elevated position at least 8 feet off the ground and pass a proficiency test with their weapon.
In other action, council:
n Authorized awarding the Station Street resurfacing and drainage improvements project bid to Karvo Paving Co. of Stow at a cost of $417,708. The work will improve stormwater capacity along the south side of Station Street east of the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks and resurface the road from Jackson Street to Center Street. Construction is to be complete in June 2013.
n Authorized awarding Infinity Paving Co. of Willoughby the 2012 Safe Routes to School infrastructure project at a cost of $178,709. The project will provide updated school flashers at Shore Middle School; a multi-use path from Washington Avenue to the school entrance; sidewalk along the southern drive of the school; a crosswalk and curb ramps at Jordan Drive and Spinnaker Court; a sidewalk along Hendricks Road near Orchard Hollow Elementary; and bike racks at Shore, Orchard Hollow and Sterling Morton Elementary.
The Ohio Department of Transportation will reimburse 100 percent of the costs up to the bid amount.
n Authorized a $4,000 Economic Development grant for Foot and Ankle Specialists of Ohio Inc., which is relocating its Wayside Drive office to the former Center Street School to accommodate growth. The company has 12 employees and an estimated payroll of $550,000. The payroll is projected to increase to $725,000 in 2013.

Greenway to be Built at Water Reclamation Plant by the L.A. River | KCET
Greenway to be Built at Water Reclamation Plant by the L.A. River
Every little bit counts, especially when it comes to open space. If all goes according to plan, this June, Angelenos will be welcoming another greenway right by the Los Angeles River.
Dubbed the "Los Angeles-Glendale Water Reclamation Plant Open Space Greenway," the 0.4-acre curved park lies on the east bank of the Los Angeles River just off the Colorado exit below the 5 freeway.
Inspired by the positive feedback from the North Atwater Park Expansion and Creek
Restoration project, Councilman Tom LaBonge filed a motion requesting the Bureau of Engineering (BoE), the Department of Recreation and Parks, and the Bureau of Sanitation (BoS) to assess if any land south of North Atwater Park by the Los Angeles Glendale Water Reclamation Plant could be spared to create open space. Their search revealed "a bunch of grass next door," said to Gene Greene, landscape architect with the BoS and the director of the Japanese Garden at Tillman Water Reclamation Plant.
Story continues below
Unlike some city projects that may take years to complete, this endeavor only took a few months to come together. All of the resources needed to realize the project were sourced in-house. Greene provided the landscape design, informed by his decades of experience maintaining the luscious grounds at the Japanese Garden. The plants used for landscaping also came from the Japanese Garden nursery. The total cost for the project is approximately $40,000, funded wholly by the BoS.
Once finished, the original 12-foot security fence will be replaced by an open greenway 275 feet in length and 90 feet wide. It will use a regional native plant palette such as California Buckwheat, Flannel Bush, and Black Cottonwood. Stormwater that falls on the land will be captured on site, treated and returned to the land to irrigate the plants, said Greene.
Educational signage will acquaint visitors to the reclamation process and the Los Angeles River. Bench seating will be installed alongside natural decomposed granite pathways, inviting walkers and joggers a chance for respite.
Though arguably a smaller piece of the puzzle, the open greenway captures the creative, enterprising spirit at work by the Los Angeles River. It is a project that makes use of what resources are available and ensures Angelenos have access to as much green as we can eke out of the city.

We've hit 225 years of serving the community. While our methods of gathering and delivering the news continue to change, our overall mission to report the day's events and investigate wrongdoing hasn't. We fight for your right to know.
Our newsroom has different champions to produce what you expect from your daily newspaper -- each one with their own priorities and new ways of working. You see them as news editors, sports columnists, photographers, copy editors and reporters. They are Augusta's largest news force in action. Few of them do only one type of assignment. They are versatile.
Alongside this mission, we further commerce. Our pages carry advertisements and notices of business services and deals. You clip them, read them and make decisions, knowing regular Chronicle advertisers tend to be trustworthy and reputable.
Our front page is devoted to more than just the "important" news of the day. In print, we have to look beyond the headlines from the omnipresent 24/7 news cycles online and in other media.
The print edition filters out some fleeting news in favor of interest and impact. Online might give you the headline and a developing story, but print will confirm facts with additional attribution, rounding out a story with reporting that takes time. It should look behind the scenes for causes and effect.
If you don't read the paper while absorbing other media, you can miss context and reflection needed for good decision-making.
Some of us remain concerned about young people's media habits. Swirls of misinformation in gang e-mails and partisan information campaigns can outnumber practiced reporting methods and considered opinion. We are working to engage them through new media.
We challenge and celebrate the community with the news and coverage without fear or favor -- and seek to avoid conflicts that might create perceptions to the contrary.
Our Opinion pages' mantra and approach shares in this ideal but has a different mission and is wholly separate from the newsgathering operation. Editorial Page Editor Mike Ryan and his team seek to further public discourse.
They take positions advocating or denouncing public and private action for the good of community consideration. Their view follows the long-established tradition of newspaper ownership putting forth food for thought from the publisher's view, endorsements of people and ideas for consideration.
The opinion pages and our columns are meant to stimulate thought rather than to espouse a right or wrong way of thinking. I don't always agree with them, but I champion their rights and mission to offer a considered view. If you agree or disagree, we hope you will write a letter or make a comment to express your opinion, because that's what these pages are for: discussion.
This brings us back to your 225-year-old newsroom.
We are your champion.
We search for the facts and look under rocks for what you need to know to make informed decisions. We hope the civic-minded act when our investigations reveal disturbing trends.
We are still fighting to get a current mug shot of Walter Williams, the man convicted of fraud for scheming supposed millions from area residents. Authorities claim the photo isn't public record -- even after he is convicted and surrendered himself to jail. Have you been scammed by this man under an alias? Well, we won't know whether his crimes are limited to the folks who have come forward until everyone can see his face.
Why in the world are federal marshals shielding this basic information when others are not given the same shield? This is a huge misstep by our government.
This is a small example of the value of having a newspaper such as ours in your driveway or on your digital gizmo.
We believe in the First Amendment and practice it every day on your behalf. When you subscribe and read us, you are making sure someone is watching out for your tax dollars and your way of life.
We were there in 1785. We've weathered it all and continue forward because our leading charge remains true. We are here for you.

InSomnia - You Asked We Listened
The latest update for InSomnia has news from Studio Mono about a few changes to the game based on backer feedback. Here are the details from the update.
'You asked, we listened'
Hi everybody! Today we have some news that and we think it will be a good surprise for many people who are waiting InSomnia RPG. You asked, we listened carefully and we've analysed all the feedback we received from the start of campaign. Here's the result:
InSomnia RPG on consoles
The first on, from this day we will be working on opportunity of porting the InSomnia RPG on different types of consoles, before we start KS campaign we plane only Linux, Mac and PC but after we start, we receive so many messages from backers and even publishing companies - they all want to bring InSomnia RPG to consoles. Game mechanics allows us to port it but we need time to make careful analysis with various professionals from publishing companies in order to not give our backers false and empty promises. So, clearer information about which consoles the game will be ported to and what date; depending on PC release. We'll we will announce more several months after KS campaign is over.
Female playable character stretch goal deleted
The second, one we receive a lot of messages from backers about female playable characters and that this opportunity is really important for them, so we listened to you and we've deleted this stretch goal and will the find money, to make sure it's possible to play as a female protagonist, our own. There will be a female playable character, each with their own special perks, dialogue, some differnt quests and even different reactions of companions and key NPCs. The next stretch goal after 70.000 will be professional voice-overs!
"COMRADE" Reward tier added to reward section
We have received several messages from backers that would like to receive as a reward 2 copies of the game, to play with their friends. We've listend and added a new reward has been added to reward section!
Developers Forums are under construction
We started building developer forums, and absolutely rebuilding the InSomnia RPG site, to move discussions on it after KS campaign is over. We need to do a lot with the forums, its structure and private cabinets to make future discussions comfortable and ergonomic and most importantly fun. But it will take some time, please be patient and we will launch the Developer's Forums 2-3 weeks after KS campaign is over.
20 additional chapters on 3-4 hours of gameplay transformed into 3-4 big seasons that will be released after main campaign release
Again according to multiple discussions and messages from backers, we understand that most of backers will prefer several really big updates rather than a numerous number of small chapters. We've agreed that it is really more logical and ergonomic for developers and for players. There will be no less content just it will be released by 3-4 big updates in 2-3 years after the release of main campaign, so all the KS backers will receive these expansions for free once they're released That is all for now!
Thank you to all the backers and visitors for you support!

How Women Lost Out as China's Property Market BoomedChristina Larson
In 2005, Zhang Yuan and her husband bought an apartment in Beijing for $30,000. Seven years later, in 2012, the same apartment was worth $317,000. Zhang, a professional woman in her 30s, and her husband both contributed money to the down payment and mortgage payments. Only her husband's name appears on the property deed.
At the time the young couple bought their home, Zhang wasn't thinking much about legal formalities. Men—still regarded as the ostensible heads of households in China—have commonly registered property in their own names.
Since China's Supreme Court issued a new interpretation of the country's Marriage Law in 2011, Zhang's has had second thoughts. The law now stipulates that if a couple divorces and only one person's name is on the deed, that person—usually a "he"—walks away with full ownership of the marital home.
Since she took two years off work to care for her young child, Zhang has had trouble climbing back onto the career ladder. Today she worries more about money—and her financial dependence on her husband.
According to a 2012 Horizon Research and IFeng.com survey of homeowners in China's leading cities, men's names appear on property deeds for marital homes 80 percent of the time, while women's names appear on just 30 percent of them. "The law is so unfair to women," Zhang told sociologist Leta Hong Fincher, author of a new book, Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China.
The upshot, as Fincher's book argues, is that China's women have a claim that is tenuous, at best, to the country's burgeoning real estate wealth. "Chinese women have largely missed out on what is arguably the biggest accumulation of residential real-estate wealth in history, valued at around 3.3 times China's [gross domestic product], according to figures from the bank HSBC," she writes. "That amounted to over $27 trillion at the end of 2012."
The examples of property-deed patterns and Marriage Law interpretations favoring men are among the many instances Fincher points to in assembling her case that the position of women has regressed, not progressed, over the last 35 years. Her intention in writing the book is to "debunk the popular myth that women overall are faring well as a result of China's post-socialist, market reforms."
Remember Mao's slogan about women holding up "half the sky"? Elevating the position of women was an avowed goal both of the Communist Party and the earlier Republican Revolution that ended rule by emperors in China. Yet women today have few legal protections against domestic violence (sadly common in China), less access to male-dominated business and political networks, and often less financial and emotional support from their own families. Meanwhile "the authoritarian nature of China's one-party system has prevented a nationwide women's movement from gaining traction," writes Fincher.
Zhang probably spoke for many Chinese women when she told Fincher, "I am very worried about my future."

Factoid #14: A Dinosaur More Ridiculous Than Barney
1872 Mining Law Fact #14
Published: June 22, 2004
While a certain dancing purple television star may seem a bit absurd, a far more preposterous dinosaur still exists in America-the 1872 Mining Law. Passed more than a century ago to lure adventurers to the western frontier, this law now has as much in common with modern mining as Barney has in common with Fred Astaire.
Pickax-toting 49-ers have long been replaced by multinational corporations that generate massive amounts of toxic waste to extract gold, silver and other precious metals. Yet the 1872 Mining Law remains unchanged.
Hardrock mining is rated the nation's top toxic polluter by the EPA, polluting stream reaches in 40% of western watersheds but no environmental standards exist under the 1872 Mining Law. Corporations can also buy public lands for the 1872 price of $2.50 per acre while paying no royalties to taxpayers for valuable public minerals.
New legislation introduced by Representatives Rahall (D-WV), Shays (R-CT) and Inslee (D-WA) would modernize the 1872 Mining Law to protect taxpayers and the environment. To learn more about the bill (H.R. 2141) or to become a cosponsor, please contact Deborah Lanzone in the Resources Committee at 5-2808.

College: Florida A&M University
Date: August 2007
Breaking into the college database to better your grades is one thing. Breaking into it for someone else for a hefty fee is genius. Florida A&M students Christopher Jacquette, Lawrence Secrease, and Marcus Barrington did just that by installing key-logging software on staff computers to obtain instructor passwords and alter grades for themselves, and others, for a price. They also edited the residency status of several others to help them qualify for reduced tuition fees. The trio might have gotten away with the crime, but were caught the second time around after the university discovered the unsolicited software from, of all things, an audit report. Jacquette was sentenced to nearly two years in prison and three years of supervised release.

Ticketmaster Trashcans Annoying Captcha Verification System
Ticketmaster has long used Captcha to keep the bots at bay, which try to purchase large numbers of tickets that can later be scalped. Unfortunately, it slows down the process of an honest customer trying to purchase a ticket, and in some cases, a concert might sell out while a person fights with Captcha.
If that's ever happened to you, then you'll be happy to know that Ticketmaster is kicking Captcha to the curb. Over the course of the next several weeks, Captcha will get phased out in favor of online puzzles provided by Solve Media, a startup out of New York.
People visiting Ticketmaster will start to see common phrases or multiple choice questions rather than a mishmash of letters and words that don't necessarily make sense together. According to Ticketmaster, early trials have already led to a better fan experience and improved customer satisfaction. Ticketmaster says the new puzzles take about 7 seconds to solve, versus the 14-second average people were spending on Captcha.

Are Kate Middleton And Prince William Out Of Their Godforsaken Tea-Time Minds With This Pregnancy Statement?!
Just when I found myself feeling ready to forgive the British for the Sugar Act of 1764, Prince William and Kate Middleton release a statement so offensive that I think we should launch a second revolution just to make a point. Can someone get Paul Revere's publicist on line 2 stat, I think he just suddenly became relevant again.
As you may remember from the medical report you tattooed on your heart last week, Kate Middleton went to the hospital for her acute morning sickness. Then she escaped. And now she's feeling so confident from her triumphant return to her castle that she's releasing ridiculous statements about her health through People.
Seriously, brace yourself for what you're about to read.
William was originally scheduled to attend the British Military Tournament at Earl's Court in London on Sunday, but has canceled and will be spending the day "privately with the Duchess instead," a spokesman for the couple, both 30, said in a statement to PEOPLE.
"It is well known that hyperemesis gravidarum often recurs and, until further notice, to allow the Duchess a degree of privacy during her pregnancy, we do not intend to offer regular condition checks or advise of routine developments associated with it," the spokesman added.
I'm sorry, you don't intend to do what?! Am I on crazy pills or am I really to assume that we won't be getting daily updates on how Kate Middleton is feeling. Did they hit their heads, wake up and start thinking they're normal people having a normal pregnancy.
This is the most important baby to ever be conceived in the history of conceptions. The fact this fetus hasn't gotten hooked up to Twitter yet disgusts me. It's downright appalling that that I can manage to livetweet every episode of every show ever aired, but this embryo can't manage to let us know when it's grown an appendage. It's not like I'm asking this fetus (or fetal twins) to upload womb-decorating tips to their Pinterest. I just want constant updates on how it's doing and what it's thinking and if it wants to get brunch at some point in late 2013. Is that so much to ask for?
It's 2012. Let's get with it Royal Family. Privacy is for people with student loans and adult braces. It's not for people who are (possibly) bringing the British spin-off to the Olsen Twins to earth. I want up-to-the-minute updates on this pregnancy and I want them yesterday.

Gallery views of the special exhibition Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations (on view May 10–August 19, 2012
Narrated by Andrew Bolton, Curator, The Costume Institute
Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations was organized by Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton, The Costume Institute.
The exhibition is made possible by Amazon.
Additional support is provided by Condé Nast.
Andrew Bolton: Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations pairs together designers separated by time—the 1930s and the present day—but who are united by their creative and conceptual similarities. Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada are both known for their deliberate fashion provocations that tend to confront normative conventions of taste, of beauty, of glamour, and of femininity, but at the same time, they never forget the practicalities of fashion.
Impossible Conversations, the exhibition, relies on the actual words of Schiaparelli and Prada to create new readings of both their most adventurous designs.
Elsa Schiaparelli: But eventually, by chance, my salvation was stumbling into fashion.
Miuccia Prada: Yes, of course.
Elsa Schiaparelli: Finding beauty in my own way.
Miuccia Prada: You had a much more difficult life than mine.
Andrew Bolton: The films were directed by Baz Luhrmann. Judy Davis is playing Schiaparelli, Prada is playing herself. And it's a very informal conversation, in which the two women discuss their approaches into fashion, their avenues into fashion across a dinner table, and they, in a way, place the viewer in the role of an eavesdropper secretly observing the private exchange between the two women.
Miuccia Prada: To be a woman, a fashion designer in the sixties and seventies was the worst. But I liked it so much that I did it anyway.
Elsa Schiaparelli: Yes, yes, I think now I realize why we are here.
Andrew Bolton: The second gallery you come into focuses on the primary zones of the body onto which the two designers project their narrative attention: the waist up for Schiaparelli and the waist down for Prada. Schiaparelli's emphasis on the waist up largely stems from the social needs of her day.
Elsa Schiaparelli: Hollywood fell in love with my silhouette: Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford. I made them embroidered jackets.
Miuccia Prada: With a lot of frills here, I would feel uncomfortable.
Elsa Schiaparelli: For yourself, or for women in general?
Miuccia Prada: Yes, personally and in general.
Andrew Bolton: Since women were usually seated in restaurants, decoration from the waist down was essentially redundant, so Schiaparelli devoted her attention primarily to jackets, which were often elaborately embroidered by Maison Lesage. Prada's interest in the waist down is both personal and, in a way, more instinctive. She directs her focus to the dramatic possibilities of skirts. She believes that the waist down is not only more active and dynamic but also more basic and grounded.
Miuccia Prada: While if you put too much stuff near your face, probably, it's strange. Or at least I am like this. Maybe I am just not able.
Andrew Bolton: As an addendum to Waist Up/Waist Down is a section called Neck Up/Knees Down. It extends Schiaparelli's interest in the waist up through hats and also Prada's interest in the waist down through shoes. For both designers, accessories serve as undiluted expressions of their most fantastical impulses.
Elsa Schiaparelli: You can't say that there was anything easy about my hats! Lamb chops on the head! I mean, it's crazy!
Miuccia Prada: But craziness, in a shoe, it's such a weird place, you can have much more freedom. You can exaggerate, and doesn't feel, to me, stupid.
Andrew Bolton: Hard Chic comprises designs that reference menswear, military and service uniforms, and industrial materials and fastenings applied with deliberate severity and sobriety.
Elsa Schiaparelli: When I wore my trouser skirt in London, there was a violent controversy. They wanted to outlaw it. For me, it was strong and feminine. Much more modest, more graceful than a skirt.
Miuccia Prada: Yes, there is a concept that probably I want to say, that I tried to make the men more human and the women more powerful.
Andrew Bolton: Both Prada and Schiaparelli transpose masculine qualities into their fashions.
I think what's interesting about both women is how they utilize the playfulness, the sweetness, the femininity, sometimes, of girls' clothes and transpose it onto women's clothes. A lot of their provocations are in very discreet visual codes, brainteasers for their clients or their customers. Often it reflects the zeitgeist, what's happening in the wider world, whether it's politics or art or culture.
Miuccia Prada: We can't be imprisoned by fashion. That is the worst thing that can happen to a woman.
Elsa Schiaparelli: We shouldn't be afraid of age, but wear our clothes with youth and innocence.
Miuccia Prada: Not real innocence, but as a choice. Innocence as a choice.
Elsa Schiaparelli: Yes, woman shouldn't be frightened of being conspicuous, but should dare to be different.
Andrew Bolton: Ugly Chic focuses on materials, colors, and patterns in discordant combinations, which are exploited for their transgressive, inaesthetic sensibilities, and I think in the case of both Schiaparelli and Prada, one of their lasting legacies is actually subverting what we mean by good taste and bad taste.
Miuccia Prada: I want to really try to understand what is beauty and what is a possible beauty today.
Elsa Schiaparelli: Yes, yes. I have taken from all around me: cellophane, bark, glass—
Miuccia Prada: A possible beauty means something you can wear everywhere that is not ridiculous, that makes sense with the complication—
Elsa Schiaparelli: We must refuse the definition of glamour, without ever being any less glamorous.
Andrew Bolton: Both women would use colors that were considered unappealing. Nowadays, they look incredibly chic because both women have changed our eye in terms of what we mean by beauty and what we mean by aesthetics.
The Exotic Body references both Schiaparelli and Prada's love of regional styles. Schiaparelli again is more literal when it comes to her references of exoticized dress, from Asia, also from Africa. Prada, again, is a little bit more abstract and nonlinear.
Miuccia Prada: You, Schiaparelli did it. Yves Saint Laurent did it in the seventies. And now it's something that is not new anymore.
Elsa Schiaparelli: What's this? No.
Miuccia Prada: You can't take pieces here and there and be modern.
Elsa Schiaparelli: I don't agree.
Miuccia Prada: It's not enough.
Elsa Schiaparelli: But don't you travel? I mean, I remember Peru, Cuba, Russia, Tunisia, Brazil.
Miuccia Prada: But no, Schiap. Things are so different now. Everything is so different from that time.
Elsa Schiaparelli: No, that's not right.
Andrew Bolton: The Classical Body for both Schiaparelli and Prada references their love of antiquity and the opposition of Dionysian and Apollonian ideals: wild and visceral and ornate on one side, and classicist on the other. Schiaparelli was known for her extremely glamorous eveningwear that often would channel classical antiquity, usually through the gaze of the eighteenth century, through the Empire line.
Elsa Schiaparelli: I don't understand why you find designing eveningwear so difficult.
Miuccia Prada: Because the draping was done so well in history, that what do you do with draping? You can't do anything anymore.
Elsa Schiaparelli: Are you against it?
Miuccia Prada: It's not that I'm against, but I think that I was never able to do, probably a single beautiful evening dress in my life.
Andrew Bolton: The Surreal Body circumvents the conventional meanings conveyed by dress, and asserts a more sexual and psychological reading of fashion, often through trompe l'oeil illusions, but also through unexpected juxtapositions of materials and imagery. For Schiaparelli, fashion was an art form, the act of creation was mystical. Schiaparelli was working in the 1930s in the heyday of Surrealism, and I think that the Surrealist strategies of displacement of everyday objects, the idea of playing with scale, was something that very much appealed to Schiaparelli's sense of playfulness and her idea of trying to expand the boundaries of fashion and what we mean by fashion. But what's interesting about Prada is that she very much does use artistic strategies in her work, so even though she may not collaborate directly with Damien Hirst or Jeff Koons, the artists she collects, she does very much have a very postmodern approach to fashion.
Elsa Schiaparelli: For me, if I hadn't been a designer, I would have liked to have been a sculptor. Coco even said of me that I was that designer who wanted to be an artist.
Miuccia Prada: Fashion is art, fashion is not art. But at the end, who cares? All of a sudden, we are put together in such an important exhibition, and so I am obliged to confront with you.
Elsa Schiaparelli: I wonder if we lived together at the same time, would we be friends or foes?
Miuccia Prada: I think friends.
Elsa Schiaparelli: So, maybe now we can agree that designers are artists.
Miuccia Prada: No, never! Schiap, never! I think that you have to do your job, and who cares about the title.
Elsa Schiaparelli: Salute.

Conserving a Grassland Wilderness
Carroll Easements - Bitter Creek
When we think of wilderness, an image of craggy mountain peaks often comes to mind, yet Bitter Creek's remote range land may see fewer people than places in the well-known Bob Marshall Wilderness. The Conservancy has helped retain the wild nature of this land, while preserving its ranching heritage with the purchase of more than 25,000 acres of conservation easements on the Carroll Ranch north of Glasgow. The land adjoins Montana's largest proposed prairie wilderness, the Bitter Creek Wilderness Study Area. Between the public land and three Carroll easements, that means 23 miles of uninterrupted prairie habitat are now conserved.
Threatened grassland birds, pronghorn, and swift fox are among the animals that are benefiting from the easements. The Carroll ranch lands cover high quality mixed-grass prairie, wooded draws, wetlands and badlands. Pronghorn and greater sage-grouse both depend on this land for their twice-yearly migrations. In the case of sage-grouse, this area is in the heart of a migratory path of the birds' longest journey – more than 100 miles each way. And the largest number of sage-grouse leks in the area is found on the Carroll property. These sage-grouse are also Canada's last sustainable population, making their conservation of international concern.
Similarly, declining birds that depend on this land include Sprague's pipit, chestnut-collared longspurs, Baird's sparrows, lark buntings, and long-billed curlews. Other Species of Concern that find refuge here are the tiny swift fox and regal ferruginous Hawk.
We want to thank the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service and The Conservation Fund for their support in the purchase of these easements.

U.S. Rejects Israeli Request to Join Visa Waiver Plan
The United States has rejected Israel's request to join the Visa Waiver Program, which would exempt Israelis from the need to obtain visas to enter the U.S.
The United States has rejected Israel's request to join the Visa Waiver Program, which would exempt Israelis from the need to obtain visas to enter the U.S.
The Bush administration has also refused to exempt Israelis from the new visa requirements that took effect worldwide this July, meaning that Israelis must still undergo personal interviews in order to obtain a visa. They will also need to be fingerprinted once that requirement goes into effect - a move expected in the near future.
However, Washington did agree to try to ease bureaucratic hassles for Israelis born in Arab countries who have encountered numerous delays in obtaining visas ever since the first changes in U.S. visa policy took effect, shortly after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. These changes state that visas for anyone born in an Arab country could only be issued in Washington rather than through the various local consulates, meaning a significantly lengthier process. The administration has agreed to try to exempt Israelis born in Arab countries from this procedure, but it is not clear when the new arrangement will go into effect.
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom asked the administration to add Israel to the Visa Waiver Program during his visit to Washington last month. But after examining the request, Washington rejected it out of hand, for three reasons.
First, no new countries have been added to the program for years, and the administration is considering scrapping it entirely. Second, the key condition for a country's acceptance into the program is that less than 3 percent of visa applications from that country have been rejected over the last 12 months, whereas in Israel, the rejection rate is 5-6 percent. And finally, the U.S. feared that many Israelis would abuse their visas to stay on in the U.S. illegally.
Jerusalem, however, does not see the American refusal as the end of the story: The Foreign Ministry said yesterday that Shalom had ordered it to continue pushing the issue.
Currently, only 27 countries are members of the Visa Waiver Program, almost all of them Western European nations with the addition of a few non-Western industrialized countries such as Japan and Singapore. However, there are also a few exceptions, including Slovenia in Eastern Europe and the tiny Muslim sultanate of Brunei, near Indonesia.
Though Israel already meets several criteria for entry into the program, there is one criterion besides the visa rejection rate that could potentially be a problem: The U.S. must deem the country politically and economically stable, since otherwise lifting the visa requirement could result in large-scale illegal immigration. Argentina was removed from the program last year because of its economic crisis.
In the meantime, the U.S. administration has not been ignoring the problems caused by the new rules, which caused the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to be flooded with visa applications this summer. Some 16,000 applications were submitted during the first four weeks after the new rules took effect - about four times the usual monthly figure - as Israelis feared that with the process now taking so much longer, they had to begin early.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer responded by temporarily reassigning many embassy workers to the consular division, which handles visas, in an effort to eliminate the backlog. The embassy says that this effort was successful and that applicants can now expect to be summoned for their interviews within a week and to receive their visas within a few weeks. For genuine emergencies, it is even possible to obtain a visa immediately.
Though exact figures are not available, the U.S. administration's impression is that so far, the new rules have not resulted in any significant increase in the visa rejection rate in Israel.

Prosecutors dismissed a murder charge against a man who had been accused of shooting his wife at their Carlsbad apartment, according to a published report.
Mark Statham, who had been in jail since April 21, 2008, was released on Nov. 1, 2009, and prosecutors dropped their charge against him on Jan. 7 after three of four experts determined the shooting was a suicide, Deputy District Attorney Keith Watanabe told the North County Times this week.
Laurie Statham, 47, was rushed to the hospital from her Chinquapin Avenue apartment on April 17, 2008, with a rifle wound to the forehead. She died the next day.
Her husband, Mark Statham, then 39, was not arrested because police believed the shooting was a suicide, Carlsbad police said at the time. But a few days later, the medical examiner ruled someone else shot Laurie Statham with a .22-caliber rifle, and her husband was arrested.
Steve Walker, a spokesman for the district attorney's office, said charges could be brought against Statham in the future, though Watanabe would not comment on whether that was likely.

Polybius, Greek ???????? was a Greek historian of the Hellenistic Period noted for his work, The Histories, which covered the period of 264146 BC in detail. The work describes in part the rise of the Roman Republic and its gradual domination over Greece. Polybius is also renowned for his ideas concerning the separation of powers in government, later used in Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws and in the drafting of the United States Constitution.
Polybius was born in Arcadia around 200 BC. He was the son of Lycortas, a Greek politician who became Cavalry Commander of the Achaean League. His father's opposition to Roman control of Macedonia resulted in his imprisonment. Polybius was then deported to Rome, where Lucius Aemilius Paulus employed him to tutor his two sons.
Polybius had the opportunity to return to Macedonia in 152 BC; he elected to stay, however, in Rome, as by that time he had placed his allegiance in the Roman Republic. He became a close friend of the Roman military commander Scipio Aemilianus, accompanying the general to Hispania and Africa. Polybius's The Histories provides a detailed account of Rome's ascent to empire and included his eyewitness account of the Sack of Carthage in 146 BC. Polybius held that historians should only chronicle events whose participants the historian was able to interview, and was among the first to champion the notion of having factual integrity in historical writing, while avoiding bias.
Those that know how to win are much more numerous than those who know how to make proper use of their victories.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 4 (UPI) -- Chris Davis hit his third home run of the season while driving in four runs Thursday in the Baltimore Orioles' 6-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Davis hit a home run in each game of the season-opening series and was 7-for-11 with 11 runs batted in.
Davis opened the scoring with a two-run drive to center in the second inning and broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run double into the gap in left-center in the sixth.
Both of Davis' hits came off Roberto Hernandez (0-1), who struck out seven but also gave up six hits and walked two in 6 2/3 innings.
J.J. Hardy added a two-run home run -- his first of the year -- in the eighth for the Orioles.
Tampa Bay managed five hits and two runs off Miguel Gonzalez (1-0), who struck out four and walked two. Jim Johnson picked up his second save.
James Loney and Jose Molina had consecutive RBI singles for the Rays in the fifth inning.

Evernote appears to have taken a small step away from digital, at least for a moment, and announced a partnership with Moleskine. Yup, a paper notebook from Evernote. The notebook is the Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine and is available for pre-order as of today.
The notebook will be available in a Pocket ($24.95) and Large ($29.95) option. The Pocket size will measure in at 3.5 x 5.5 inches and the Large will measure in at 5 x 8.25 inches. Both will be available with an option for Ruled or Squared paper.
That being said, lets dive into the features of the notebook — a paper notebook that has features. Evernote has dubbed these as being "New Features. Magical Pages. Smart Stickers." And in fact, the notebook does have features and come with support for the new Page Camera feature (which rolled out in Evernote for iOS version 4.4) and with some stickers. These Page Camera and Smart Sticker features are further described as follows;
- Page Camera automatically improves the contrast of the page and removes any shadows. For the Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine, it finds the dot pattern and even corrects the skew of the photo. This means that the images that end up in your account are perfect for Evernote's handwriting recognition, so that you'll be able to find you thoughts anytime.
- As if that wasn't cool enough, in the back pocket of each Moleskine notebook you'll find a set of multi-color Smart Stickers. When you apply a sticker to a page and take a photo, Evernote recognizes the sticker and instantly associates a tag with the note or places it into a notebook that you specify in your Settings. The Smart Stickers come with some pre-defined tags, but you can customize them to be whatever you want.
While available for pre-order, the Evernote Smart Notebook is not expected to begin shipping until October 1st. Finally, those who make a purchase will also get three months of Evernote Premium for free. The Premium level gives you a higher monthly upload capacity, improved searching for PDFs and images and more note sharing options.

"Does this rollaway bed have the adjustable headrest on one end of the bed? My mother had one years ago that you could adjust the headrest instead of it being flat."
I might have given this a,4 star, but the price was incredibly reduced on overstock! Easy to use and move about. I would not recommend this for very frequent use. The mattress is showing some signs of pressure points. But there is not middle bar which most rollaways have. Those are truly unbearable, even for a night!!...

Serta 30-inch Rollaway Bed
I am very pleased with my new rollaway. It arrived packaged very well with not damages. It is actually lighter than the old one I had and is very easy to open up for use. The Serta mattress is comfortable and seems to be made well. Putting it away is just as easy and it rolls very easy when putting it away. I would certainly recommend it you can not beat the quality of this product for the money.Read More

Good but
I like the bed and it seems to be a good bed accept for one thing, the frame has springs on one half of the surface and metal clips on the other side. The metal clips are were bent down on each side. They are starting to straighten out. I have contacted Overstock, who originally stated they would send me springs to replace the clips, then I received an email asking for photos. I have emailed the photo evidence in the form of the photo that I emailed. I am waiting to see what the result of my issue will be.Read More
comfortable roll away bed
Bed was delivered in predited time. Box was damaged resulting in one roller for the bed missing. Notified Overstock and was immediately informed of resolution. However, the manufaturer did not respoond so Overstock solved the problem in different manner but took longer than they expected. Roller arrived and all is well. Prompt attention to problem is very much apprecated.Read More
Not what expected
Rolls nicely and fits perfectly into closet for storage. Bed is too short for anyone over 5'5". Would be perfect for kids, but definitely NOT for adults or teens. The mattress is garbage. I thought coming from SERTA, it would be a comfy, good quality mattress, but it's not. Your guests (or whoever sleeps on this) will not be happy in the morning. We ended up using plan B... a blowup mattress on the floor. Way better option.Read More
Serta 30-inch Rollaway Bed w/ Poly Fiber Mattress
Folding bed arrived in 4 days - coast to coast to ship too!! As described - all pieces and box in tact. Mattress is lovely - the real thing (meaning not a hunk of foam). Frame is super constructed with rectangular box in the center for added support. On wheels. Super easy to move about - super easy to open up (and I am in my late 60's and not strong). All in all a real winner for Overstock - this was a great value and just what I needed for company.Read More
Serta 30- inch Rollaway Bed with Poly Fiber Mattre
I am enjoying my roll away bed. It is sturdy and comfortable to sleep on. I like the way it can be folded away and easily accessible when I need it. I even let my grandsons try it out. They had never seen a roll away bed before. Their ages are 15 and 9. They were amazed at the comfort of my portable bed. A friend helped me take it out of the box and said he was going to order one for his brother. He liked the way it was made and could be unfolded and refolded. The mattress is comfortable and good quality. It was a good price for me and a good product. It's very much needed and arrived in excellent condition. It's obvious that I am pleased with the purchase. Thanks. Genuine156Read More

Unanswered: Distribute MyODBC to client without revealing MySQL password.
I have developed a local win32-app that accesses a MySQL database on our server. This app is used by an increasing number of clients accessing the same MySQL database on our web-server through MyODBC.
Any tips on how to set up/install a new client's ODBC (MySQL) with the correct user & password WITHOUT revealing the password.
What i'm looking for (i guess) is a file containing the connection param's (including the password) for MyODBC that can be mailed to the client with all the connection param's already set.
Hope anyone understands what i want.

Russian Billionaire To Bail Out Ratner?
There are mixed reports concerning the details, but it seems like Russia's richest man, self-made billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, may be partly funding the Barclays arena, a part of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards development that just received final state approval. Reuters reports that Prokhorov is considering issuing bonds to raise $700 million for the arena, in exchange for a share of the New Jersey Nets, which will move there once complete. This report has raised several eyebrows; NBC New York points out that the Nets have been hemorrhaging money for the past few years, and it's possible that Ratner is using Prokhorov simply to attract other investors. NBC New York writes: "All Prokhorov's company spokesman would say is that he's considering an investment, which is probably true and isn't indicative of all that much." The New York Times also takes the conservative approach, reporting simply that "Mikhail Prokhorov is the leading contender to buy a majority stake in the team and in the planned arena." Bruce Ratner bought the New Jersey Nets for $300 million in 2004, and the Barclays Center is currently projected to cost about $800 million, so it is unclear how much of Ratner's pie $700 million will buy Prokhorov. In other Atlantic Yards news, Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn and the Atlantic Yards Report revisit the issue of the project's timetable, questioning how Ratner could possibly complete the entire development in ten years.
