Shakra – Back on Track
Label: AFM
Release Date: May 3, 2011
Despite hovering around the Swiss music scene for seven studio albums and 14 years, Shakra is basically unknown outside their homeland. They've shared the stage with the likes of Great White, Guns 'N Roses and Iron Maiden, and despite these successes they remain a mystery.
After the release of their last album, 2009's Everest, the band was at a turning point. Their future in doubt after more than a decade of making solid records.
Enter new vocalist, John Prakesh.
It would be unfair to call the Chennai, India born singer the band's savior. Instead he is the catalyst for reinvigorating the group. His diverse vocal styles open Shakra's sound up even further. He manages to sound like every great singer you love without sounding exactly like any of them.
In a sense, the band's eighth and newest studio effort, the appropriately titled, Back On Track, is the first album of a new chapter. And this is where it starts to get really good.
Back On Track will throw listeners into the-way-back-machine about 25 years to the mid-80's. Tight well-produced rockers with hooky choruses, and memorable guitar riffs…without falling into the spandex and Aquanet cheesiness of it all.
The album opener "B True B You" begins with a modern spiraling guitar riff, but the song is quickly propelled into the pumping rhythmic 80's vibe.
"I'll Be" reminds me of classic Y&T, with thick guitars and a sing-along chorus. Even the guitar solo recalls Dave Meniketti.
Want an old school hair band anthem, then crank up "Crazy"!
"When I See You" is an edgy acoustic based ballad, while the title track is a jet-fueled anthemic beast of driving melodic fury.
"Money Makes The World Go Round" (MMTWGR) sounds like classic Sebastian Bach and Skid Row.
Even the album's song titles allude to where the band is at musically and mentally, from the title track to the ballad, "Yesterday's Gone", to the pounding rocker, "Brand New Day", to the final track, "Stronger Than Ever". The message is clear. Shakra is back, better than ever, and ready to rock your collective asses off.
Guitarist Thom Blunier does some of his best solo work on this record, while drummer Roger Tanner plays with steady fury. The production is excellent and not overdone.
With Back On Track Shakra have found their ticket to the big show. This is what melodic hard rock and metal is all about; powerhouse vocals, shredding guitars with addictive riffs, air drum worthy skin pounding, and can't-get-it-out-of your-head-choruses.
Rating 8.4/10

The former England international was highly complimentary of Manchester City's start to the season, where they top the table by eight points.
But Lampard thinks that second-place Manchester United and Chelsea, in third, still have enough quality to take it all the way down to the wire.
Pep Guardiola's City are eight points clear at the top of the table at this stage of the season, having won 14 and drawn the other of their 15 matches so far.
Local rivals Man United are their closest challengers, on 35 points to City's 43, while Chelsea sit a further three points back in third.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs make up the rest of the top six, though none of that trio have, as of yet, passed the 30-point mark.
"Manchester United are still there, and I think Chelsea will be the other main challengers," he told talkSPORT.
"I think the others will struggle for the consistency to close the gap on a team who are playing so well in Manchester City.
"But we certainly can't say it's over at this stage, yet.
"What the other teams, other than City, need to do is try and stay in contention and hope for a blip with City.
"At the moment it's not coming… but you have to stay in the game."
We've seen in the last two games City are not going to have it all their own way – they're going to come up against difficult games.
"They've shown grit – to be fair to them – this week to get two results, and Manchester United is a huge game for them as well.
"But for the neutral, obviously, we want to see it [the title race] stay alive, but for City they want to put one foot closer to being champions in December, which is an early call."
City have left it late to win each of their last three games against Huddersfield, Southampton and West Ham.
And Lampard believes that those characteristics show that they will be a difficult team to overthrow.
United take on their fierce rivals in the first Manchester derby of the season on Sunday\ while Chelsea visit struggling West Ham

Exactly what I was hoping for.
I'm a completely stock 19 si and I ordered this hoping for a faster spool up and not have the boost drop off in high rpms and it did just that. Now I still have the blow off sound and it holds high boost all the way to red line.

Fernando Dominguez cut the figure of a young revolutionary leader during a recent lunch period at his elementary school. "Who thinks the lunch is not good enough?" the seventh-grader shouted to his lunch mates in Spanish and English. Dozens of hands flew in the air and fellow students shouted along: "We should bring our own lunch! We should bring our own lunch! We should bring our own lunch!" Fernando waved his hand over the crowd and asked a visiting reporter: "Do you see the situation?" At his public school, Little Village Academy on Chicago's West Side, students are not allowed to pack lunches from home. Unless they have a medical excuse, they must eat the food served in the cafeteria.
Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.
"Nutrition wise, it is better for the children to eat at the school," Carmona said. "It's about the nutrition and the excellent quality food that they are able to serve (in the lunchroom). It's milk versus a Coke. But with allergies and any medical issue, of course, we would make an exception."
A Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman said she could not say how many schools prohibit packed lunches and that decision is left to the judgment of the principals. Any school that bans homemade lunches also puts more money in the pockets of the district's food provider, Chartwells-Thompson. The federal government pays the district for each free or reduced-price lunch taken, and the caterer receives a set fee from the district per lunch.
Does anyone really believe this is for the kiddies? If so, read the last line above for clarification.

Brudenell Social Club // Monday, July 22, 2013
Just over a week after they played their debut gig downstairs at Crash Records, Harry George Johns' new band took to the stage at the Brudenell for a short, sharp pop-fuelled punk rock. Let's not call it pop-punk, yeah?
On the face of it, you don't seem to get much bang for your buck, as the four-piece tore through a frenetic sub-20-minute five-song set.
But what they lacked in stage time, they more than made up for with seriously good fun (an oxymoron if ever I heard one) punk rock.
When Harry's doing his acoustic stuff, he's laid bare, there's nowhere to hide, and all the fragility of life is put under the spotlight for a brief time. Tonight, flanked by Castrovalva's Ant on his left and We Were Frontiers' Matt on his right, he struts the stage with his brothers in arms.
Not quite the full-on showman, still, as his confidence is beefed up a little by the riffs, his interaction with the crowd is slightly muted, with just a smile and a gesture to move closer. did it really matter? Nah. I liked the bang-bang-bang approach to getting the songs out there. No messing, no fuss, just the tunes.
There's something instantly appealing about Brawlers. I want more from this lot, please.
In the meantime, check out their set closer Mothers & Fathers. It's rad >>

- City Manager
- Financial Manager
- Executive Director
- Hospital Administrator
Individuals who spend years on education in public administration usually want to find the highest-paying career in their field of interest. There are many specializations, and salaries depends upon the size of the organization employing the administrator, the scope of his or her responsibilities and whether the organization is a non-profit. Here are five top paying careers in public administration.
A CEO is usually an administrator who works for a corporation as its highest-level manager. His or her duties and salary depends upon the size of the business. The CEO, or Chief Executive Officer, is hired by the board of directors, who are directly responsible to the shareholders. That means the CEO must be accountable for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the organization and reporting to the board.
The level of oversight is delegated to lower-level management hinges upon the size of the corporation. In a large company, the CEO may have little knowledge of the "nuts-and-bolts" daily operation of the corporation but is still ultimately responsible for its success. They must have considerable business acumen as well as communication and public-relations skills.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the median salary for a CEO is $183,270. A CEO in a small corporation will earn less, while one in a multi-million company could make a nine-figure income and have a generous benefits package.
2. City Manager
A City Manager is appointed by the City Council in a municipality that has a council-manager government. Depending upon the size of the city where he or she works, the city manager may appoint department heads that are under his supervision. The city manager is responsible for the internal and external operations of the city government. Internal issues are things like policies and procedures and employee relations. External issues include community relations.
City managers rely on community insight to identify city needs and desires. They then research those areas and report to the city council on possible methods to meet community expectations. The salary of a city manager depends upon the geographical location and size of the city, but the BLS reports the median salary is $175,000.
3. Financial Manager
A financial manager is a public administrator who works for a corporation, an investment business or a non-profit organization to oversee its profit and loss, report on financial activity and to predict financial trends so that the organization may respond proactively. They must understand the legalities of the business and ensure that the company remains in compliance with financial laws and standards. They also supervise employees who are responsible for budgets and financial department reports. Financial managers review annual financial reports to identify cost-saving strategies and makes recommendations to the board of directors. The BLS reports the median salary for a financial manager is $125,000.
4. Executive Director
An executive director is similar to a CEO, but they generally are employed by a non-profit organization. They are appointed by the board of directors and charged with creating the culture of the organization. An executive director oversees the budgetary profile of the non-profit, motivates and supervises both employees and volunteers and is adept at public relations.
As in the case of the CEO, he or she is the highest-level manager in the organization, responsible directly to the board. The CEO, however, usually works for a business and is paid a higher salary than the executive director whose employer depends upon donations to meet the budgetary demands. The executive director can expect to earn a median salary of $113,000.
5. Hospital Administrator
This public administrator also has a background in healthcare. He or she plans and oversees the healthcare policies and procedures of the employing hospital. Although they usually have many department heads, they carry the responsibility for the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of everything from housekeeping to medical staff. They oversee scheduling, hire physicians, keep abreast of technology and acquire new equipment, communicate with the public, government and other groups and oversee facility marketing.
According to BLS figures, a hospital administrator earns a median salary of $98,350. Depending upon the size of the facility, however, the may earn considerably more.

Management Success on Stoney Brook
Author: Carl Haensel
For those who have not explored the small, trout stream called Stoney Brook in central Minnesota, it is a shaded brook trout stream that flows into Upper Gull Lake northwest of Brainerd. Full of rocky riffles and runs, it averages only about 22 feet in width. Certainly it is not a "destination" stream like some of our other waters like the South Branch of the Root, the Straight River, or the many streams of the North Shore. Regardless, the Minnesota DNR has put forth tremendous effort in the past few years on the stream, including habitat improvement and special regulations prohibiting the harvest of brook trout. These regulations, first implemented in 2006, have been extremely successful in retaining quality brook trout in the stream as well as significantly increasing their average size. The numbers in the graph at right clearly show the success.
Well documented and sampled regularly for nearly 25 years, this stream provides anglers and TU members in Minnesota a clear picture of the potential some of our central and northern streams can provide us with when carefully and closely managed.

What are bankruptcy exemptions?
Written by Attorney Jonathan Petts.
Updated July 7, 2020
Bankruptcy exemptions protect property after a bankruptcy filing. Filing for bankruptcy relief does not mean that you have to give up everything you own. The purpose of filing a bankruptcy case is to get debt relief. We explain how you can protect your property from a Chapter 7 bankrutpcy trustee.
Filing for bankruptcy relief does not mean that you have to give up everything you own. The purpose of filing a bankruptcy case is to get debt relief and a fresh start. The result of filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy would not be a real fresh start if the filer ends up losing all of their belongings. That's where the bankruptcy exemptions come in.
What Are Bankruptcy Exemptions?
Bankruptcy exemptions are specific laws, either based on state law or the Bankruptcy Code that determine what property your creditors and your bankruptcy Trustee can't touch, no matter what. Property that is exempt can't be sold for the benefit of your unsecured creditors. To protect your property, you have to claim an appropriate bankruptcy exemption when filing bankruptcy. If you don't claim any exemptions, or you claim the wrong exemption, the property is not protected from the Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee.
Who Can Claim Bankruptcy Exemptions?
Only individuals can claim exemptions when filing bankruptcy. This includes married couples filing jointly. Business entities can't claim property exempt. Typically, when a business files a bankruptcy case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the business closes and its property is returned to secured creditors or sold to pay unsecured creditors. Individuals and married couples don't "go out of business" like that, so they're able to protect certain types of property.
How Does a Debtor Claim Bankruptcy Exemptions?
When filing bankruptcy you will submit a document titled Schedule C to the Bankruptcy Court. This is the document where you (or your bankruptcy lawyer) "claim" your bankruptcy exemptions by listing the state law or Bankruptcy Code provision and specify the exemption amount. Each type of property you own is matched with the law that protects it.
What is an Exempt Asset?
All personal property and real property fully covered by an available bankruptcy exemption (or federal nonbankruptcy exemption, if appropriate) is considered an exempt asset unsecured creditors and the bankruptcy Trustee can't reach.
If a secured creditor has an interest in the property, you can keep the property as long as your payments to the creditor are current and your equity is less than the available exemption amount. For example, if your home is worth $100,000 and you have a home mortgage of $80,000, your net equity in your home is $20,000. If you live in a state that uses federal bankruptcy exemptions, the entire $20,000 in equity in your home should be protected by the federal homestead exemption.
I filed with Upsolve. Read my story →
Do I Still Owe My Mortgage?
In the above example, the equity in your home would be protected by the federal homestead exemption. Therefore, your home would not be sold by the Chapter 7 Trustee to pay unsecured creditors, like credit cards or medical bills. However, filing bankruptcy and claiming an exemption does not eliminate your mortgage. If you have a mortgage, you have to continue paying the mortgage to keep the real property. If you fall behind on your mortgage payments, the secured creditor can start foreclosure proceedings. The availability of exemptions does not change that. But it does protect your equity, at least up to a certain dollar amount determined by the exemption system you are using.
Federal Bankruptcy Exemptions vs. State Bankruptcy Exemptions
The Bankruptcy Code is federal law. Therefore, bankruptcy laws apply to cases filed throughout the United States. However, the Bankruptcy Code has a provision that allows states to elect to enact their own bankruptcy exemptions. Therefore, a state can pass laws that require debtors who file in that state to use the state exemptions. Some states have elected to use their own bankruptcy exemptions, but some states allow debtors to choose between federal exemptions and state bankruptcy exemptions.
Can I Use State Bankruptcy Exemptions?
State law determines whether a filer can use federal bankruptcy exemptions or the state exemptions. Some states allow you to choose between the two exemption systems, others mandate the use of state exemptions.
What Type of Property Is Protected By Bankruptcy Exemptions?
Most states have similar bankruptcy exemptions. However, the value of the exemptions varies greatly. For instance, Texas bankruptcy exemptions allow filers to exempt an unlimited amount of equity in their homes if they meet the qualifications for the exemption. However, many states limit the amount of equity a debtor may exempt in a home.
Examples of property that is typically exempt under federal and state bankruptcy exemptions include: • Real property used as a home • Personal Property • Jewelry • Motor Vehicle • Health Aids • Tools of the Trade (property used in a business or employment) • Life Insurance • Public Benefits (including food stamps, Social Security, veteran's benefits, workers' compensation, etc.) • Alimony and Child Support Payments • Personal Injury and Crime Victim Awards • Education Savings Accounts • Most Retirement Accounts and Pensions
The above list is not an exhaustive list of bankruptcy exemptions. The federal bankruptcy exemptions and many state bankruptcy exemptions include a wildcard exemption. The wildcard exemption may apply to any type of property the debtor owns. The rules regarding wildcard exemptions vary by state.
Property that is not covered by an available bankruptcy exemption is considered a non-exempt asset and may be sold by the bankruptcy Trustee in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.
Do Bankruptcy Exemptions Change?
Yes, bankruptcy exemptions can be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in inflation. Filers must ensure they are using the most current list of bankruptcy exemptions when they file their Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.
"I like that there are lawyers, paralegals, etc. out there that are willing to devote their time to helping people stuck in my type of situation, that can't afford to file bankruptcy (seems like an oxymoron, huh?)."
How Do I Know If I Can Use a Specific State's Bankruptcy Exemptions?
The Bankruptcy Code has a set of rules that determine which exemption system a filer can use. The rules are designed to prevent a person from moving to a state that has favorable bankruptcy exemptions for the type of property they own just to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and move back home. If you have lived in your current state for at least 2 years when you file bankruptcy, you use your state's options for bankruptcy exemptions. If you haven't lived in the state for at least 730 days, you must look back to the 180 days before the 730-day period. The law of the state you lived in the better part of those 180 days before the 730 days determines what exemption system you use. If that state does not allow you to use their exemption system because you no longer live there, you have to use the federal bankruptcy exemptions.
How Do Spouses Choose Bankruptcy Exemptions?
When a married couple files a joint bankruptcy petition, each spouse is entitled to claim bankruptcy exemptions for property they own. Therefore, spouses may each claim bankruptcy exemptions for jointly owned property. For example, most states allow a married couple to double the exemption for household goods and similar personal property.
What Happens to Non-Exempt Property?
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy Trustee can take a filers non-exempt property and sell it for the benefit of unsecured creditors. If your property is exempt but the exemption amount is not enough to cover the value of the property, the Trustee has to pay you the dollar amount of the exemption you claimed. The remaining funds are paid to unsecured creditors who claim an interest in your bankruptcy estate. In some cases, a Trustee may allow you to "purchase" the non-exempt equity in the property. In that case, the dollar amount you have to pay to keep your property is based on the value of the asset minus the exemption amount. So, if your car is worth $8,000 and the exemption is $6,000, you may buy back your non-exempt equity for $2,000. The Trustee may allow you to do this to avoid the cost of conducting a sale of the property.
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, the filer is typically able to keep all non-exempt property by paying a dollar amount equal to its value to the Chapter 13 Trustee as part of their repayment plan.
Do Debtors Usually Lose Property in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case?
In most of the Chapter 7 cases filed in the United States, the debtors keep all their property. That's because bankruptcy exemptions protect all the property in most Chapter 7 cases filed, including household goods, musical instruments, tools of the trade, real property used as a home, and retirement accounts. Some property is protected by federal nonbankruptcy exemptions.
A Chapter 7 case in which the debtor does not lose any property is called a no-asset Chapter 7 case. Most Chapter 7 cases are no-asset cases. But, make sure to carefully review what type of property you own and what bankruptcy exemptions will protect it.
In some cases a filer may choose to get the much-needed debt relief by filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy even though they may lose certain property. After all, filing bankruptcy and eliminating tens of thousands of debt provides a much greater benefit than keeping a $2,000 piece of real estate that hasn't increased in value in a decade. If you are worried about your state's exemptions or specific types of property and whether they're protected, consider speaking to a bankruptcy attorney.

The narrow victory of Nicolás Maduro in the Venezuelan presidential election on 14 April should trigger serious reflection on the left about the limits of chavismo without Chávez.
Maduro won by 1.6% of the vote against right-wing neoliberal opposition candidate Henrique Capriles, with 50.7% compared to his opponent's 49.1%. Pro-chavista apologists such as the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign were saying only days before the election that Maduro had a double digit lead over Capriles. Turnout was still high at 78%. There can be few excuses.
Hugo Chávez defeated Capriles 55%-44% last October and his PSUV had trounced them in 20 of 23 state governor races last December. Maduro would have expected to gain a strong sympathy vote after Chávez's death in March. He was the comandante's anointed successor, served as his vice-president and had effectively been running the government for months. He had the vast weight of the state machinery as well as the PSUV party machine behind him. Yet he scrapped home by the narrowest of margins.
Chavista apologists have long pointed to the popularity of Chávez as proof of his radical credentials. He did win four presidential elections, as well as other votes (losing only one referendum on extending his powers even further). What this vote shows is that the popularity of the "process" is fading electorally, almost to the point when the PSUV is in danger of losing power through the ballot box.
But a far deeper reflection is needed. Chávez's regime was premised on the revenue from an oil rentier economy. He came to power with oil at $10 a barrel and died with it more than ten times that level. The oil revenues funded the social programmes, which undoubtedly narrowed income inequalities, but principally provided a social basis of political support for Chávez. But Venezuela still suffered from power cuts, shortages of basic necessities and vast corruption.
The left should not exaggerate Chávez's achievements. Many Latin American states reduced poverty over the last decade. The programmes as well as the nationalised industries created a stratum of boligarchs and buttressed the private sector. The class structure of Venezuela was remoulded under Chávez, but basic class divisions remain in place – a capitalist state served by a bourgeois government.
The civic-military alliance at the heart of Chávez's Bonapartist project remains intact, but is likely to fracture in the absence of its figurehead. Former military officers run 11 of the 20 PSUV-led state governments, and account for a quarter of the cabinet. The defence minister Admiral Molero Belavia claimed during the election that the armed forces should unite behind Maduro. But there is rivalry between Maduro (representing the civic side) and Diosdado Cabello, the head of the National Assembly and a former military colleague of Chávez. The prominence of the military indicates both the Bonapartist essence of chavismo and how far it is from a genuine working-class socialist project.
The political regime of chavismo has eclipsed the independent working class movement, where the unions are largely bound formally and informally to the Bolivarian state and its ruling party. The oil revenues still flow and with them some economic wriggle room for Maduro.
But the left should cease to be a mouthpiece for the Venezuelan government and champion the struggles of Venezuelan workers.

Back once again to my car with the stuffed food and processed products, I extended smoking while she ate. I was wondering if she decided to fuck simply for some suggestions and for sexual pleasure. I did so wish that she'd be horny and enjoyed fucking. When she'd finish ingesting, I drove to another secluded place of the town. Here, I wish to fuck her once more before giving her off. I parked my vehicle then joined her at the backseat. She appeared to learn my intention. Just as I was looking at her, she sat straight and began undoing her trousers. I undid mine too. I needed my tool an located it on her slit and it slid in easily. Her pussy was however damp from our first fuck. This time circular, I need to labour. The enjoyment of fucking her wasn't there anymore. My somewhat numbed cock slid in and out creating her pussy very wet. She moaned everytime my cock slid in. Her thighs dropped aside while she leaned back. Clearly she'd cummed. She was panting as I continued to fuck her. Her pussy was saturated wet and had ease it's hold on my cock. Work trickled down my forehead, I continued working her pussy. Eventually my difficult labour paid off. I drawn out and jerked my cock. Ejaculation was generally enjoyable though only a little sperm was ejaculated. Falls of sperm dotted her belly. We cleaned up and got dressed, I drove and dropped her at the junction to her home and informed her I will be viewing her soon. I went house feeling excessively satisfied. My long wait to have her was ultimately over. I may now Live Cam Sex Porn put her at the rear of my mind.
There clearly was an old widow who labored in your kitchen of a cafe. She was in her late 60s. She had a good appearance with a moderate built. From the appearance of her sagging tits below her clothing, we are able to say she will need to have a lovely big breasts in her younger days. I was drawn to her but we stayed as relaxed friends. She kept her range rendering it problematic for me to begin a more close connection with her. I wasted plenty of my free time wanting to tame her. As the times transferred, I obtained hornier. I possibly could imagine romancing and anal fucking that widow, but odds stayed bleak. My urge to anal fuck that previous widow forced me to get the previous dish washer in Adult Live Sex Cams the street. I went about city from street to block wanting to locate her. She must certanly be scavenging somewhere. A straw cap, around measured t shirt and a baggy long pants will be her industry mark. I simply required to release the stress of my increasing urge. It was late day that I found view of the common figure crossing the trail in a haste. She could be on an errand getting her daily ideas from nice folks. Nice persons applied to produce her of good use doing easy provisions for them then offering her tips. I went going towards her direction. I left and waited. As she was nearing my car, I moved out and approved her $20, and at the same time frame shared with her I would be looking forward to her later in the evening. She
nodded. Unfortunately for another couple of days she avoided me. I tried to method her but she was cautious never to run into me. After several efforts, I gave up. I moved my target to the widow working at the cafe. She was as elusive as she always was. Each time I produced an advance on her behalf, she would kindly decline. It absolutely was a cat and a mouse game. I maintained my patience. It was a wet week and a poor time for scavengers. Little were can be found and a poor time for errand runners too. I recognized the common determine in her baggy trousers seeking protection at the part of the shop. She was bare handed. I went up to her and gave her $50. She smiled at me. I guessed she will need to have understood Sex Live Cams me. I asked her if she had taken her meal. Her solution astonished me. She requested me to get loaded food on her later in the evening. I told her l could be around as usual. I visited a drugstore to purchase a water based jelly lubricant. With that I am certain that I could anal fuck her and throw cum inside her asshole. I ordered condoms too in the event I would need it. With this, I was looking towards tonight's adventure.
By 7pm I reached the vehicle park. A slightly stooping figure had been there standing in the shadows. She approached my car immediately. I opened the door on her behalf and lay with her at the backseat. When seated, she stated that I could fuck her as much situations as I wish to, but number anal sex. Anal intercourse was unpleasant and when it wasn't unpleasant she did not mind at all, she continued. I did not say any such thing but achieved for the dash compartment and needed out the container of lubricant. This jelly here is for anal intercourse I informed her. I approved the bottle to her. She took the container and tried to open it. My cock stumbled on life. I could feel my penis straightening and moving for space. I undid my jeans and exposed my erect cock. I exposed the container and with my fingers I smeared the jelly around my cock. I told her I would put some jelly on her butthole. With no term she undid her trousers and leaned sideways. I smeared some jelly on her behalf butthole. I took her hand and shared with her to use putting a hand Teen Sex Cams in to her asshole. Though I could not see significantly as it was night, I possibly could only feel with my hand. Her finger slid in easily. I set my hand around her hand to prevent her getting out her finger. As her hand remained inside, I fold to suck her tit. The idea of this previous woman inserting her finger up in her asshole actually aroused me.
I presented my penis in position and pushed. It slid in to her asshole easily. I created a slow drive and draw motion. I guided her hands to her pussy and produced her understand that I needed her to wipe her clit while I fuck her ass. Soon she was working on her clit rubbing it in a round motion. From her liquid activities, I really could tell she will need to have masturbated Porn Free Live Sex regularly. Her asshole stiffened clutching my tool as she was cumming. I was getting departed too. She reached for my give and placed it on her pussy. I continued scrubbing her pussy while she from time to time adjusted my give placing it at her preferred spot. Then her time came, she created me insert two hands in to her pussy. I really could feel her pussy pulsated. My dick burst it's content. My brain gone bare, all feelings were centered at my cock. When the delighted sensations of ejaculation was around, my tool softened and thought numb. I withdrew from her and wiped my cock. As I dressed up I informed her I'd move to purchase the stuffed food. When I left the automobile, my hips felt weak. I took my measures gradually lest I stumble.

Spring Pups 2020
~In Idaho
Thought you might like a 12week (almost 13) update on our out Henry!
He's amazing. He loves to play fetch and so good at the return. He is learning and listening so well. Still mastering the potty training, but great as long as we are paying attention! He's such a funny pup and so smart! He is able to play hide and seek with toys and people. He's catching on so we'll to words we use. He is obedient to sit, stay, lay down, come and 'outside' (our word for potty!) He has even mastered wiping his feet when he comes back in, on the rug…. For a treat of course! He has grown SO much and going to need a bigger bed soon!
Sorry some of the pics are blurry! He's not still for long! ~Jill and Clint
Breeder Comment
Hello There–we are so happy to hear from you. Just look at what is happening, you are doing great things. We cannot be happier to hear the news and to these photos. Thanks ever so much!
Looking Ahead
Cliff and Winnie have been in the farm pond already. Cliff wears hip waders, and sometimes he records the swim with our GoPro. I still take the individual videos of each pup's first swim. Of course, the prospective owners love it.
Eventually, most folks attempt to get their Weimaraner in the water. Some are more successful than others. Regardless, anyone willing to be patient and work through the process can get their Weimaraner to swim. We believe this shows you how natural it is and at the same imprints the experience on the pup's psyche.
It won't be long, and we will be swimming pups. Just so you can see kind of what we do, here is last year's first litter swim of the year. We sincerely hope you enjoy it!
The Last for the Year
At the Nielsen Farm Pond
We promised an OwyheeStar client who is getting one of the Atti X Boone pups that we could swim the pup before they depart. Any promise is subject to being derailed by circumstances beyond our control. Mr. Winter could push in and steal the stage. He has already made it evident that he is intent on an early arrival. We didn't get snow; however, other not so far away places did–Cotton Mountain for one. The forecast has been for a warmer fall, and we hoped for the Indian Summer weather that we love so much.
The icy temperatures departed, and the pups came of age. Isn't it grand when the stars align? The pond filled and despite the straw-like trim that floated around the edge it made for the perfect opportunity to get the swim accomplished. The last induction to water for the year. We don't have access to an indoor swimming pool.
We love adding the puppy swim to the list of early life experiences. Nevertheless, many OwyheeStar Weims swim without the benefit of this imprint experience. Therefore, folks getting a winter pup should not fear their pup won't take to the water. In fact, any Weimaraner can become an excellent swimmer. Some are more natural swimmers than others. It takes knack and patience. The right setting also helps you achieve the swim. A love of the retrieve is an invaluable tool. If you are patient and keep working on this discipline, we have no doubt you will achieve a positive outcome.
Off to A Good Start
We love our Berkley. You chose well!!
Here's an update on CRATE TRAINING:
She was totally content in her crate for the 4-hour ride home from Oregon. We stopped once and she went potty. Her first night home, she was not happy at all to be away from her litter mates and her mama. We put her crate in our room so she could see us, but she still howled and whined much of the night. Yesterday we put her in her crate several times, for 20-45 minutes each time, during the day while we ate our meals and ran an errand. She was a little vocal about it each time but got better as the day progressed. We hosted a lunch event and a dinner event, and she did splendid meeting and greeting all the shoe-less guests (parvo precautionary rule). She was the absolute center of attention for a good chunk of the day. When it was time for bed last night we put her in her crate and she went right to sleep. Not one howl or yelp! She stirred at 2 am and gave me a little whimper. I took her outside and she went potty right away. She went back to sleep in her crate until almost 6 am, which is my wake-up time anyway! We were so thrilled and gave her lots of praise for doing such a good job.
An update on POTTY TRAINING:
We used the bell method with our first Weim, and it worked like a champ. So we knew this was the way to go the second time around. Every time we take her outside to go potty (after she eats, wakes up, just before bed or crate time, or every 30 minutes or so), we take her little paws and ring that bell and say "outside". Yesterday she rang the bell all on her own. We took her out and she went potty right away. Then again today, she rang the bell on her own, and the same thing happened!!! She is catching on so fast. We haven't had to clean up after any accidents. I am shocked.
An update on TRAINING AND LIFE IN GENERAL:
She is retrieving like a champ to our hand….stuffed toys, mostly. She isn't into the balls yet for some reason. She is coming on command and just starting to get "sit". I started working with her on heeling as well, but that's a little trickier. She is starting to get it, but barely. Berkley went with us to take big sister to school for her first day of school today. And then she snuggled on the couch with us and listened in as I read a Sofia the First story to our youngest. She's one fun pup. I attached a few pictures.
Thanks so much, Amanda

It was very sweet of you to update us on Berkley. We appreciate the follow through you are doing too! It is paying off. Yes, we try to set the pups up for success, but it takes more than a little knack to step quickly toward success.
The potty training is excellent. I love that you used the bell system. Around here that would not work, but in a traditional family setting it can get you off to a good start fast. Be sure to get a fecal exam. Giardia and coccidia are common one-celled parasites that can quickly multiply and reek havoc on the pup's intestine. Treatment isn't a big deal if you catch it early. Pups prefer puddle water, and they also lick their feet all the time. These are great ways to ingest something that can take off like a wildfire.
For those that have never collected a sample–you invert a baggie (Mark your name on this baggie first to ensure it is labeled). Grab a portion of a suspicious looking sample and invert and seal the baggie. Label a second baggie with your name, the pup's name as well as the date and time the sample was collected. Keep this sample cool (not frozen). Freshness is important; therefore, get the collected sample to the Vet office ASAP. Collect it just before you leave when possible.
This one thing can save you a lot of trouble. Stress diarrhea is a thing. We might fear the worst, and it could be stress. Canned or steamed pumpkin is great for correcting a loose stool. It is not a bad idea to give your pup a couple of tablespoons twice a day and even some berry yogurt–the kind with live cultures. These are very good for their digestion, and the yogurt helps ward off yeast infections too.
Think Spring
Favorite Thing
We love making our trips to the sanctuary with the pups. It is so much fun to watch them play and interact. This is also our favored location to conduct the Discovery and Placement Test.
The only access to this area on the farm is using snow shoes. We expect there will be a considerable amount of cleanup even though it a natural setting. The snow, and winter in general, most likely brought down branches and possibly a tree or two.
Secrets and Whispers
Piper is doing great!
Training classes have really helped both of us. She is impossible to wear out- this pup has endless energy and endurance- I love it! To help tucker her out she has doggy friends to play with from time to time. I love the action shots of her because that is when you really see her personality and she has a LOT of personality. To the right her best friend, Adelle, looks like she is telling Piper a secret, winking at us, and Piper is reacting to whatever she said. I can only imagine what they would say to each other! Trouble makers 😉 I love her with all my heart.
Mousse's Eighth Born
Cliff Met several folks who have waited for some time for an OwyheeStar pup yesterday. Yes, Piper's tail was left full length by request in the more European manner. 95% of Americans still prefer to stick to the American Breed Standard with their pup's tail being docked.
To the right you see Indy–the undocked tail showing. He is from our lineage; however, he was born in the UK where tail docking is illegal.
This is a very controversial topic. For those that wonder, the docking of the tail is done very early. The skinny–doing the tails early is less painful, and the tail is much smaller in diameter. Waiting to make a decision means a more painful and severe procedure. In the OwyheeStar Weimaraner New's Blog 'Tails Vs Tales' you can read more about the Weimaraner and tail docking. Overall, there is less risk of tail injury when the tail is docked. For this hunting breed, it is the preferred option. Many American breeders will not consider catering to those who wish to have their pup with the full-length tail.

Among the benefits that employees want from their employers, paid time off (PTO) is often at the top of the list. Everyone needs time off to regroup and recharge their batteries — or take care of things in their personal lives — and the availability of PTO allows them to do that without a significant financial impact.
However, despite the fact that a majority of American companies — including 73 percent of small businesses — offer PTO, there is no one-size-fits-all policy for this benefit. Not only do companies need to determine the most fiscally responsible way to pay employees for hours they aren't at work, but they also need to consider productivity and staffing levels, how PTO is earned, how it can be used, and a host of other issues. In short, a paid time off policy is a bit more complex than simply offering two weeks of paid vacation per year.
So, how do you develop a paid time off policy? Follow this guide to create a policy that is both attractive to employees and supportive of your bottom line.
There are several types of PTO, which generally fall into two categories. In the first category is the time off that you are required to offer by law, including jury duty, disability, parental leave, and bereavement leave. In the second category, is vacation, holidays, personal time, and sick leave. The latter are the types of PTO that you will need a policy for.
Some companies break their paid time off policy into multiple categories, providing paid time off for specific holidays, as well as a set number of sick days and vacation days. If you opt for this route, you need to specify exactly which holidays are covered, and how many sick and vacation days each employee receives. One option is to use a formula, in which you calculate the number of billable hours required to cover overhead and reach your profit goals multiplied by an employee's average billing rate. Given that most employees are able to bill (or are productive) for about 75 percent to 80 percent of the time, an offer of 20 percent to 25 percent of the calculated overhead is usually a fair amount of vacation.
Many companies take a simpler route, and offer vacation time based on seniority. The longer you work for the company, the more time you earn. A typical tier breakdown is 10 days for one year or less; 15 days for years two to five; 20 days for up to 10 years, and so on. Another option is to allow employees to accrue time off based on hours worked, with the amount of PTO earned increasing each year. For instance, an employee might earn 10 minutes of PTO per hour worked in the first year, with an additional minute of PTO earned for each year of service. Employees can then deduct hours from their PTO "bank" when they wish to take time off. In some cases, this pool of hours covers all time off, including holidays and sick days.
Typically, a paid time off policy is a benefit for full-time employees, although some small businesses do offer less PTO to part-time employees. Your first order of business, then, is to determine who is eligible for PTO, and when. Some companies will only allow employees paid vacation time after they have worked for at least 90 days; others require a longer period of employment, up to six months or longer. When developing your policy, specify a time period for the PTO, usually either a calendar year or employment anniversary. In other words, when does the "two weeks per year" begin and end?
In summary, then, your PTO policy must:
Once you determine who qualifies for PTO and how much they get, you need to outline the process for using the time. Among the points to include:
Your paid time off policy also needs to address what happens to unused PTO. Some companies have a use-it-or-lose-it-policy (which is illegal in California), which could mean that any unused vacation time is forfeited at the end of the year. Others allow employees to roll over all or some of their unused time to the next year. Although California does not allow use-it-or-lose-it policies when it comes to PTO, they do allow companies to cap the amount of PTO an employee has earned.
This often comes into play when an employee leaves the company. In some states and jurisdictions, employers are required to pay out all PTO that an employee has earned when he or she leaves the company. This isn't required in all states, but if your company is located where this law is in effect, an employee with an excessive amount of PTO saved up could be costly. Therefore, your policy needs to address how earned time is rolled over (if at all) but also what happens when one's employment ends.
Some companies have adopted use-it-or-lose it policies to encourage employees to actually take time off from work. Americans take the least amount of vacation days in the world, but research shows that taking time off is vital to productivity, creativity, and overall work-life balance.
Therefore, your paid time off policy should address requirements for using PTO. Consider requiring employees to take at least one week of vacation per year, and limiting the amount of time that can be rolled over to the next year to ensure that the PTO is used.
Finally, before communicating your PTO policy to employees, confirm that it complies with all local and state laws. Again, rules may vary, and you may be required to offer certain types of PTO or adhere to other guidelines. Keep in mind that remote workers are typically governed by the jurisdiction in which they are working, so you may need to adjust your policies according to other rules.
Some companies have taken their PTO policies to the extreme, offering unlimited vacation and sick time, paid sabbaticals, and even stipends to help cover the costs of vacations. If your company is in a position to offer these perks, don't hesitate to include them in your policy. However, even if you just offer the standard two weeks and major holidays off with pay, you need a clear, detailed policy to ensure it is fair and effective.

Last week's big news was the announcement by Carnival Corp & plc, in the presence of the Chinese president and British prime minister, that it was forming a new Chinese-based cruise line (whose ships may fly the UK flag) in conjunction with two Chinese state-owned concerns. Meanwhile, plenty of action is set to take place. In 2016, Royal Caribbean International will introduce the first newbuilding to China when its Ovation of the Seas sails east, Norwegian Cruise Line will send its Norwegian Star, MSC Cruises its MSC Lirica, Costa and Princess one more ship each and Star Cruises the first of two newbuildings. In 2017, three more newbuildings are set to follow, with the Norwegian Bliss (to be renamed), Majestic Princess and the second new Star ship, while Carnival Cruise Lines and AIDA Cruises enter the China market for the first time with one ship each.

text: About Pindan Recent Projects News Contact Us Careers Nov 62018 Pindan Wins RSLWA Contract Pindan has secured a state government contract as part of a project to build a new headquarters for the WA branch of the Returned and Services League on St Georges Terrace. The proposed Anzac House includes a seven-storey building and is expected to be completed by Anzac day 2020. Pindan is expected to use about 250 employees for the project. The new building will include office space for RSL WA staff and office holders, a club area for members, a function room and a café. It will also provide dedicated floors for other ex-service organisations as part of a broader vision for a central facility for veterans. Perth's first Anzac House opened in 1934, replacing the Soldier's Institute which opened at the height of World War One in 1916. A new Anzac House opened at the current site on November 14, 1981. It was refurbished and reopened again on its current site on January 27, 2006 before being demolished in January this year to make way for the new headquarters. Premier Mark McGowan said it was pleasing to be able to provide the RSL WA with the resources to complete the project. "Anzac House was an institution for many in Perth and I know there were some who were sad to see it demolished earlier this year," he said. I am confident the new Anzac House will provide the RSL WA, and other ex-service groups, with more up-to-date facilities and an even better base from which to continue their very important work for veterans Mark McGowen, Premier "It is positive to see local construction company Pindan giving local WA workers the opportunity to play a part in such an important project."

First things first, here is the handout from today. Download it, and use it as a reference for approaching the task.
Next, you should make time to watch the whole Panorama documentary:
Hacking, Power, Corruption and Lies
Once you have viewed the programme, refer to the summary sheet as a prompt to considering how an audience could view the actions of The News of the World / NewsCorp / Murdoch.
Don't confuse the role of the media with the perspectives of the media. It's easy done, so to avoid this, simply remember that the three roles of media that you are expected to understand and will be assessed on, are as follows:
- influencing behaviour and attitudes (intentionally or unintentionally)

Lithuania 10-CENTU (KM73) Horse
The image of Vytis -- the White Knight -- on horseback was first used in 1366 on the seal of the Grand Duke of Lithuania. From there it was handed down through centuries, making its way onto heraldic shields and state emblems.
The first bronze coins from the Republic period (1918-1940) included 5-centai, 10-centu, 20-centu, and 50-centu pieces, all minted in 1925 only. All feature Vytis and his horse in the typical pose: Vytis with sword overhead, leaning forward on a charging horse with its tail down.
- Diameter: 20.9 mm
- Composition: Aluminum-bronze

Lughnasa and the crescent Moon of the First Harvest
Cool again this morning. Great sleeping. So much so that Rigel couldn't be bothered to get up and go outside before breakfast. I had to go down and roust her. All that barking at the bunnies under the shed tired her out, I guess. Thankfully she seems to be calming down about them.
Brother Mark is back in Saudi Arabia. His employment there has taken some odd turns. He's headed to Riyadh instead of either Arar or Qassim. As he says, Saudi can be a challenging place to work.
Today is sister Mary's birthday. Happy birthday, Mary! She's starting another year as a professor at the teacher's university of Singapore.
In other family news Kate and I went on an errand run yesterday. We were out so long that the battery on her O2 concentrator died. Happened on the way home. Even with that she was not exhausted. Still upbeat. Her stamina has improved remarkably with regular, balanced nutrition. It was so good to have her with me, doing things. Today is eleven months since her bleed. September 28th, 2018.
We stopped at Babcock Gardens and Feed in Kittredge. Investigating river rock to cover the landscape cloth I'm going to put all around our house. That's the 5 foot ignition zone. The one and a half inch river rock covers 80 square feet per ton. We've got about 500 square feet, maybe a bit more. 5 tons* of rock to move. And, the woman at Babcock's said river rock is hard to shovel. Hmm. Time for teenagers. Or, it just occurred to me, a bobcat. Course it would have to fit through our gate. Hmm, maybe not.
One odd element of wildfire mitigation is that, if you've done it, the firefighters are much more likely to protect your home in case of a fire. If we try, they'll try.
*All you math folks can tell that's only 400 square feet worth, right? Well, they only deliver 5 tons at a time. Gonna try to make that much work.

School's back, but I'm not!
However, since I have to keep the ol' noggin running, since this blog can't just be about res ludorum but also studiorum, I've decided to use it to help me crack open some philosophy. These aren't meant to be brilliant pieces of scholarship or an actual introduction to whatever it is I'm reading (I'm, well, just not good enough for that yet). Just me posting my notes online. I'm not going to make much of If this stuff is interesting/helpful to anyone else aside from me, then great. If not, just ignore these posts. This time around: Aristotle's Prior Analytics.
Logic is one of my minor regrets in university; I took enough of it to whet my appetite, but chickened out of it afterward, only finding myself in another logic class during my last semester. As a way to ease my way back into it and score some more Ancient philosophy cred, I thought I'd go way back to the beginning.
(I'm using the Robin Smith translation, published by Hackett. Smith sets out a formal model of Aristotle's theory of deduction in the introduction; I just want to go through the text and break down what Aristotle is saying, giving my own thoughts as they come up, skipping over whatever I don't find interesting. I want to avoid just regurgitating Smith's interpretation, though, this being logic, there's bound to be overlap)
Book A
Aristotle begins by stating that his inquiry "is about demonstration and its object is demonstrative science" (24a10), and laying out some terminology:
Premise: A sentence which predicates something of a subject, whether in affirmation or negation ("Socrates is human"; "Socrates is not human")
Premises can take three forms:
– Universal: "All humans are Socrates". "No humans are Socrates"
– Particular: "Some human is Socrates". "Not every human is Socrates."
– Indeterminate: "Pleasure is not a good" (Aristotle's example)
The first two are pretty straightforward and map onto the universal and existential quantifiers of modern logic (I need to figure out how to get them working on wordpress), as is the last: it just lacks any quantification.
[From the 'determinate' premises, we can get four different types of premises (I'll follow after Smith and use the classical aeio notation here):
– Universal affirmative (a)
– Universal negative (e)
– Particular affirmative (i)
– Particular negative (o)]
Term: The units which connect together to form a premise. Subject and predicate.
Deduction: When a new statement (conclusion) arises as a result of certain premises that are supposed and nothing else.
Complete Deduction: When the necessity of the deduction is made manifestly apparent by the premises themselves.
Incomplete Deduction: This seems to be the case of an enthymeme where one or more of the necessary premises is missing, or is only implied by another premise and itself requires a deduction.
Aristotle introduces the notion of modal "prefixes", (possibility, necessity) but then immediately gives conversion rules for nonmodal premises.
– AeB (no A is B) converts to BeA (no B is A)
– AaB (All As are B) converts to BiA (Some B is A)
– AiB (Some A is B) converts to BiA (Some B is A)

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 120 W potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) in the treatment of urinary retention (UR) due to benign prostate hyperplasia in high-risk patients. Forty-six male patients with mean age of 73.78 ± 9.82 years who اhad UR and underwent 120 W KTP laser vaporization of the prostate between January 2015 and June 2017 were included. We evaluated perioperative parameters including serum prostate specific antigen, prostate volume, period of postoperative catheterization, vaporization time, delivered energy, hospitalization period, as well as intraoperative and postoperative complications. In the follow-up protocols, International Prostate Symptom Score and quality-of-life questionnaire (IPPS-QoL) and postvoid residual volume (PVR) were also assessed. The mean follow-up period was 15.57 ± 9.26 (1–42) months. All patients get rid of UR, except 1 patient (2.1%) remained on Foley catheter and standard TURP was done. Mean vaporization time was 8.57 ± 4.19 min, and mean energy delivered was 51.7 ± 29.9 kJ. No intraoperative complications were observed and no blood transfusion was done. The mean postoperative IPSS at the last follow-up was 9.64 ± 6.65 and the QoL score was 1.61 ± 1.31. Green light laser prostatectomy is a safe, simple, and effective procedure for the treatment of UR secondary to BPH in high-risk patients. Short hospitalization, low rate of intra operative and postoperative complications with rapid improvements in the objective, and subjective voiding parameters are important considerations of this procedure.

I made a cocky bet and lost!
I made a bet with someone (not a friend) who I was arguing with. I was SO sure I was right that I bet them, and said they could name their prize if they won. I never thought for a second I'd be wrong and lose the bet!
They chose to make me get totally naked on Omegle.com and masturbate for 50 people, asking them to take screenshots of it and spread it around online.
Lots of people made fun of me and laughed at me for a long time but then never took the pic, meaning I had to masturbate for more people to get to my #50. Also, lots of people took pics of the screen with their cellphone and held it up so I could see!
The worst part is that there is one more part of the bet. I have to come here and describe it and offer to send pics to anyone who comments with their email! How embarrassing and going to get worse!

Shell Trading and BP Shipping visit
February 24, 2012
On February 17th, Shell Trading and BP Shipping welcomed in their London premises 16 students of the Energy and Markets program (ENM), accompanied by Professor Olivier Massol.
During a series of presentations, students were introduced to Shell's crude oil trading activities and learned more on commodities trading.
At BP Shipping, the students met with Kate Lovett, Vice President Chartering and Commercial Operations, who addressed the company's strategy. She also identified key activities of shipping companies and financial issues related.
These visits complemented topics discussed during class. IFP School would like to thank the teams of Shell Trading and BP Shipping who kindly shared their expertise.
