Who doesn't love a good sex toy. There is nothing like rushing home from work or class knowing that you have this amazing orgasm giver waiting for you. It doesn't matter how good your partner is in bed, sometimes, you are just the best person to get you off. You know all of your hot points, angles, etc. that really gets you where you want to be. There are times when dildos will come to the rescue when you are with a partner, which will make that orgasm that much better. Don't be ashamed of your sex toys. It is really hard to tell what the best dildo really is, so I made a list of 5 that I have found to really do what needs to be done the way I want it.
The Egg
This is a toy that you can put deep inside of you and just leave it. It gives a whole new meaning to Easter egg hunting. Just be careful with it. It may seem to be innocent enough, simply because of the pastel blue color. The best part about this is that is wireless and is controlled with a remote control. Just had the remote to your partner so that they can turn it on when they want while you are running errands. It is a great way to spice up your day to day life.
The Cone
This was a tough one with me. The name alone sounds like it is amazing. It is considered a personal massager and it is the weirdest thing in my sexy time drawer. The first time using it, it was hard to figure out. Once you get the hang of it, you can build it up to speed. The last one is my favorite. I start out on speed 1 and work my way up to Orgasm Mode. That is one way to really show yourself some love. The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes C batteries.
Here in modern times, there is literally an app for everything we do, and it was just a matter of time before we could use an app for orgasms. This unique toy is supposed to be plugged into your iPod and then you just put your headphones on and it vibrates to your music. You are able to get off to any types of music. Nothing better than listening to some Rave music with hard beats to get me off in the morning.
Liberte G-Spot Vibrator from Natural Contours
It may look like an old telephone but it does what it needs to do. This is higher up on my list because it is that awesome. It is simple to use and it doesn't exactly look like a sex toy, but it is super smooth on my skin and it can be used anywhere you want to use it at. You can also easily change the speeds and it is great to use with partners.
The Rabbit
This is my favorite all time dildo. It was a birthday present from a dear friend who didn't want me to keep complaining about being single and didn't want me to be lonely anymore. At first it is hard to figure out, but once you do its like rubbing a genie in a bottle and asking for the worlds best orgasm again and again. You insert it like a regular dildo and the bunny ears tickle your clit at the same time which brings you to the point of no return over and over again without issues. The only thing is that it is kind of loud and it is hard to have any secrets when you are using this.
If you're looking for something a little kinkier, try some bondage tape.

President Obama's strategy for "degrading and ultimately destroying" the so-called Islamic State (IS) was unveiled last week to a world audience horrified by the sheer savagery of the group. From his podium Obama declared that IS poses a threat to global peace and stability and as such had to be confronted with a concerted military effort. His elaborate four-part strategy was widely welcomed, save by Russia and China, Syria's allies, who expressed reservations in defense of Syria's territorial integrity, as of course did al-Assad, who insisted that Syria must be a partner in any action against IS waged within its borders.
Obama's strategy may, at least in the short-term, degrade IS and reduce it to a rag-tag band of rebels operating without effective control over any territory in Iraq. The same however cannot be said of Syria, which constitutes the group's safe haven, to which the jihadists will retreat, once routed in Iraq. What is debatable about Obama's IS strategy is its ability to achieve its "ultimate" objective of destroying the group. If the decade-long war on al-Qaida is anything to go by, IS won't be "ultimately" destroyed through military effort alone. In fact if the "War On Terror" offers us any guidance, as a result of this intervention IS may well mutate into something more virulent and resilient, in pretty much the same way that it metamorphosed from al-Qaida to "Islamic State".
President Obama's IS strategy places insufficient emphasis on addressing the Islamist ideology which we consider to be the root cause that has given rise to the very problematic "Islamic State".
Deploying military might will certainly disrupt IS's murderous campaign. However, a comprehensive strategy countering the Islamist ideology fueling IS and other jihadist groups might be more effective in dealing with the underlying, persistent problem of jihadism.
Obama's strategy pays at best lip service to this, and that constitutes its greatest shortcoming. Confronting Islamist ideology is a battle for hearts and minds: something which the State Department might conceivably be better equipped than the Pentagon to undertake.
On May 28, 2014 in his commencement speech to West Point graduates President Obama counseled the cadets that, "U.S. military action cannot be the only or even the primary component of our leadership in every instance." He went on to say: "Just because we have the best hammer, this does not mean that every problem is a nail." In his strategy to defeat IS, Obama seems to have either forgotten his own admonishment, or perhaps he simply succumbed to pressure to make military action the primary component of his response to the IS threat, possibly against his better judgment.
Obama might still re-order his priorities, if the air strikes are unsuccessful in putting a halt to the bloodshed, or if IS goes underground.

"There is nothing else like it out there. And nothing else will make such a long-term impact. Kimberly's parenting classes are a must for parents with children that have severe behaviors."
"I kept projecting my own childhood experiences onto my children. When I learned their traumatic experiences define so much of their current behaviour, I was finally able to see how important it was for me to change my responses to them. I have seen so many positive changes in my children. I finally have hope."
"The opportunity for the Heart to Heart Support is AWESOME! I can't imagine what I'd do without this. The Heart to Heart Connection group is also such a lifeline!"
"As a middle school special education teacher, I see extreme behaviors and the disconnect "regular education" presents for these students. This seminar has given me SO MUCH to bring to my students, their parents and the teachers and administration in my school."
"Kimberly is so knowledgeable and thoughtful in her presentations. Her enthusiasm is contagious."
"Every teacher needs this information!"
"We have started to implement the stress model. The positive changes we are seeing in our family are absolutely incredible! There is healing and we are enjoying being a family again. We were so scared before we started working with Kimberly, but now we are so hopeful!"

Powershell: Pending Windows Updates
Every now and then you need to check if your servers or client computers have pending updates. You can generate a simple list of this with Powershell. I have created a script for this on my Github named ListPendingWindowsUpdates.ps1. Here is a quick breakdown of the script, feel free to use and modify it anyway you like. Please comment below what you ended up doing with it.
We always need to declare the functions of the Powershell script first but I will dig into the only function of this script below and start with the locally executed code. This script have one locally executed part and then a function that is executed on each and every server/client it lists. For this to work you need to run the script with domain admin rights. Both to access the Active Directory and to remote execute the code on each server/client.

Electric vehicles, or EVs, which require no gasoline and emit no pollution from their tailpipes, present a critical opportunity to improve air quality along the Wasatch Front, while at the same time reducing households' fuel costs. Utah continues to expand the use of EVs through a variety of channels including $700,000 in grants and loans awarded by the DAQ (view the News Release). With the support from organizations such as Utah Clean Energy and our friends at Leaders for Clean Air and Utah Clean Cities the EV market has grown substantially here in Utah, but the efforts need to continue.

The Latest
The 2016 Utah Legislative Session brought about lawmakers considering a couple of policies critical to the continual expansion of electric vehicles in the Utah. Two of the bills, HB 87 and HB 130, were priorities for Utah Clean Energy.
HB 87 Sub. 3 Clean Fuel Conversion Amendments
Sponsored by Representative Steve Handy and Senator Weiler
Continued Utah's income tax credit for electric, plug-in hybrid, and other alternative fuel vehicles through the 2016 tax year and modified the state tax credit into a rebate for alternative fuel vehicle conversions. This bill originally proposed to extend the tax credit for electric, plug-in electric, and other alternative fuel vehicles through 2020, but the bill was ultimately passed without this important extension due to funding limitations.
HB 130 Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Amendments
Sponsored by Representative Patrice Arent and Senator Van Tassell
This bill expanded Utah's C-PACE financing law to explicitly allow C-PACE financing to fund the installation of electric vehicle charging stations and energy storage technologies. The bill extended the allowable financing term for C-PACE projects to 30 years. Go here for more information about C-PACE financing in Utah.

A podcast is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and downloaded through web syndication. The mode of delivery differentiates podcasts from other ways of accessing media files over the Internet, such as simple download or streamed webcasts: special client software applications known as podcatchers (e.g., iTunes, Zune, Juice, and Winamp) are used to automatically identify and download new files in a series when they are released, by accessing a centrally-maintained web feed that lists all files associated with the series. New files are thus downloaded automatically and stored locally on the user's computer or other device for offline use, giving simpler access to episodic content.

What could be more magical than having a rubber ducky floating around in a nice big glass of champagne? The Little Duck Diner creates this fun addition to our childhood bath times, just with alcohol now. Located in the heart of downtown Savannah, Georgia, the Little Duck Diner serves breakfast and lunch all day. They have a variety of breakfast dishes from eggs, waffles and pancakes. They also have Asian inspired dishes along with burgers, sandwiches and tacos.
I started my order with La Colombe Coffee, which was very strong yet smooth at the same time. Next up, the Lavender Bubble Bath Bellini complete with a rubber ducky in the drink. I was very impressed with the drink, and it is definitely Instagram worthy. For an appetizer, I tried the Crab Risotto Balls. They were delicious, and the hint of risotto mixed with the crab was perfectly flavored. For my meal, I was in the mood for breakfast so I ordered the Egg and Sausage Croissant. The egg is fried and cage free, with sausage, cheese and home fries. It was good, but not amazing. I was more impressed with my drinks and the appetizer.
Next time, I plan to try a lunch item. The portion sizes are perfect and you will not leave hungry. The Little Duck Diner is also very reasonably priced. The next time you are exploring downtown Savannah, stop in and try this little gem.

Program Overview
The role of a registered dental hygienist is to provide dental hygiene services and teach patients how to prevent dental disease. A registered dental hygienist provides care for dental patients under the supervision of a dentist. The preventive and therapeutic treatments and services are prescribed by the dentist.
Treatment and services provided by a registered dental hygienist are: scaling and root debridement; application of topical fluoride for the prevention of tooth decay; sealants, impressions, prepare diagnostic models; expose dental radiographs; provide instructions for patient self-care and nutritional counseling; and perform laboratory procedures. Duties of registered dental hygienists do vary from state to state. In Michigan, registered dental hygienists also provide local anesthesia and nitrous oxide to patients 18 years of age and older.
With this program, you have the opportunity to earn a second associate degree in General Management at the same time as your dental hygiene associate's degree. It's a great way to get that business background and increase earning potential.
Students should complete the business course requirements for the dual degree before beginning clinical work as a dental hygiene student.

James Clerk Maxwell
James Clerk Maxwell
|5 November, 1879
Cambridge, England
|Mathematician and physicist
|Alma mater
|University of Cambridge
|Known for
|Maxwell's Equations, The Maxwell Distribution
|Notable prizes
|Rumford Medal, Adams Prize
|Religious stance
James Clerk Maxwell (June 13, 1831 – November 5, 1879) was a brilliant Scottish mathematician and theoretical physicist. He developed a mathematical expression, called Maxwell's equations, that described the actions of electricity and magnetism and their interrelationship, and from these predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves traveling at the speed of light. Maxwell was also the first to peer into the dimensions of the molecular world by calculating the average distance a gas molecule travels before it hits another molecule. Maxwell also produced the first color photograph.
James Clerk Maxwell was born on June 13, 1831, in Edinburgh, Scotland, to John Clerk and Frances (née Cay) Maxwell. His birthplace, at 15 India Street, is now the location of the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences.
Maxwell grew up on his father's estate in Dumfrieshire, in the Scottish countryside. Maxwell's parents quickly recognized their son's inquisitive nature. His mother took responsibility for his early education, which in Victorian times was largely the job of the woman of the house. She died in 1839, however, when Maxwell was only eight. His father then undertook the education of his son with the aid of his sister-in-law, Jane Cay, both of whom played pivotal roles in Maxwell's life. His formal education began under the guidance of a hired tutor, but finding this arrangement less than satisfactory, John Maxwell sent his son to the Edinburgh Academy.
Maxwell was captivated by geometry at an early age. Much of his talent went unnoticed however, and his academic work remained unremarkable until, in 1845, at the age of 13, he won the school's mathematical medal, and first prizes for English and for English verse. His first piece of original work, at the age of 14, was a paper describing mechanical means of drawing mathematical curves with a piece of twine, and properties of ellipses and curves with more than two foci. This work, Oval Curves, was published in an issue of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and although it shows the curiosity of Maxwell at a young age, it is important to note that the work itself was not mathematically profound. Unlike other great minds, such as Gauss, Pascal, or Mozart, Maxwell was not a child prodigy. Rather, his genius would slowly mature.
Maxwell left the Academy in 1847, and enrolled at the University of Edinburgh. He completed his studies at Edinburgh in natural philosophy, moral philosophy, and mental philosophy under Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet. In his eighteenth year, he contributed a paper to Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, "On the Equilibrium of Elastic Solids."
In 1850, Maxwell left for Cambridge University and initially attended Peterhouse, but eventually left for Trinity College where he believed it would be easier to obtain a fellowship. In November 1851, Maxwell studied under the tutor William Hopkins, (nicknamed the "wrangler maker").
In 1854, Maxwell graduated with a degree as second wrangler in mathematics from Trinity (scoring second-highest in the final mathematics examination) and was declared equal with the senior wrangler of his year in the more exacting ordeal of the Smith's prize examination. Immediately after taking his degree, he read to the Cambridge Philosophical Society a novel memoir, On the Transformation of Surfaces by Bending. This is one of the few purely mathematical papers he published, and it exhibited at once to experts the full genius of its author. About the same time, his paper, On Faraday's Lines of Force appeared, in which he gave the first indication of some of the electrical investigations which culminated in the greatest work of his life.
In 1855, Maxwell was appointed to the chair of Natural Philosophy at Marischal College, Aberdeen. In 1858, he married Katherine Mary Dewarin, the daughter of the principal of Marischal College. The couple had no children, but Maxwell often enjoyed the assistance of his wife in his duties. When Marischal merged with another college to form the University of Aberdeen, Maxwell's position was eliminated, but he soon found another, joining the teaching staff of Kings' College, London, as professor of natural philosophy.
In 1859, Maxwell won the Adams prize in Cambridge for an original essay, On the Stability of Saturn's Rings, in which he concluded the rings could not be completely solid or fluid. Maxwell demonstrated that the rings could only be stable if they consisted of numerous small solid particles, which he called "brickbats." He also mathematically disproved the nebular hypothesis (which stated that the solar system formed through the progressive condensation of a purely gaseous nebula), forcing the theory to account for additional portions of small solid particles.
On the foundation of an earlier paper written in 1855, he wrote in 1860, a paper "On the Theory of Compund Colours," which demonstrated that color blindness results from a deficiency in sensitivity to one of the three primary colors. For this paper, he was awarded the Rumsford Medal of the Royal Society. He was elected a member of the society a year later.
One of Maxwell's most important achievements was his contribution to kinetic theory of gases. Originating in its modern form with Daniel Bernoulli in the eighteenth century, this theory was advanced by the successive labors of John Herapath, John James Waterston, James Joule, and particularly Rudolf Clausius, but it received enormous development from Maxwell, who in this field appeared as an experimenter (on the laws of gaseous friction) as well as a mathematician. Joule had calculated the speed of molecules, but it was left in the lap of Clausius to explain why gases did not diffuse as rapidly as their speed would indicate. Clausius said that the slowness of a scent, for example, to travel in the air, was due to the many collisions among molecules that would resist its transit. The average distance a molecule would travel between the collisions Clausius called the "mean free path."
Inspired by Clausius's work, Maxwell, using experimental data on viscosity, heat conduction, and diffusion in gases, along with a complex mathematical analysis of collisions of large numbers of molecules, calculated the mean free path of a molecule. This represented the first approximation of a measurement of atomic dimensions. Five years later, based on Maxwell's calculations, Josef Loschmidt published the first estimate of the actual size of a molecule.
In 1866, Maxwell improved his treatment of the kinetic theory of gases, and published what is now called the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, which yields the fraction of gas molecules in a sample moving at a specified velocity at a given temperature.
In 1865, Maxwell moved to the estate he inherited from his father in Glenlair, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, and in 1868, resigned his Chair of Physics and Astronomy at King's College, London.
The greatest work of Maxwell's life was devoted to electricity. Maxwell's most important contribution was the extension and mathematical formulation of earlier work on electricity and magnetism by Michael Faraday, André-Marie Ampère, and others into a linked set of differential equations (originally, 20 equations in 20 variables, later re-expressed in quaternion- and vector-based notations). These equations, which are now collectively known as Maxwell's equations, were first presented to the Royal Society in 1864, and together describe the behavior of both the electric and magnetic fields, as well as their interactions with matter. Maxwell formulated these equations by assuming the existence of a displacement current which takes place in the dielectric separating the plates of a capacitor. This was an original contribution of Maxwell, and enabled him to treat the space between conductors as a medium with certain properties rather than just a vacuum.
Maxwell showed that the equations predict the existence of waves caused by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Maxwell calculated the speed of such waves, finding that they would travel at a velocity of 310,740,000 m/s, roughly the same as the speed of light, which had already been measured. He concluded that light must be an electromagnetic phenomenon. Subsequent experimenters such as Heinrich Hertz and Oliver Lodge successfully generated and detected the electromagnetic waves predicted by Maxwell. Maxwell's quantitative connection between light and electromagnetism is considered one of the great triumphs of nineteenth century physics.
Maxwell's assumption that an actual medium existed that carried the light waves was later challenged by experiments failing to show any movement of the earth with respect to this medium, and, on a theoretical basis, by Einstein's theory of relativity, which assumes that light travels at the same speed irrespective of the velocity of the observer.
Maxwell also made contributions to the area of optics and color vision, being credited with the discovery that color photographs could be formed using red, green, and blue filters. He had the photographer Thomas Sutton photograph a tartan ribbon three times, each time with a different color filter over the lens. The three images were developed and then projected onto a screen with three different projectors, each equipped with the same color filter used to take its image. When brought into focus, the three images formed a full color image. The three photographic plates now reside in a small museum at 14 India Street, Edinburgh, the house where Maxwell was born.
Maxwell wrote an admirable textbook, Theory of Heat (1871), and an elementary treatise, Matter and Motion (1876), which serves as an introduction to physics.
In 1871, Maxwell was appointed the first Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge. Maxwell was put in charge of the development of the Cavendish Laboratory. One of Maxwell's last contributions was the editing (with copious original notes) of the electrical researches of Henry Cavendish, from which it appeared that Cavendish researched such questions as the mean density of the earth and the composition of water.
Much of Maxwell's time was consumed with the editing of Cavendish's papers. This project took him away from what might have been more fruitful ventures in pure science. He died in Cambridge of abdominal cancer at the age of 48. He is buried at Parton Kirk, near Castle Douglas in Galloway, Scotland.
The extended biography The Life of James Clerk Maxwell, by his former schoolfellow and lifelong friend Professor Lewis Campbell, was published in 1882, and his collected works, including the series of articles on the properties of matter, such as Atom, Attraction, Capillary Action, Diffusion, Ether, etc., were issued in two volumes by the Cambridge University Press in 1890.
From the start of his childhood, religion touched all aspects of Maxwell's life. Both his father and mother were devout churchgoers (Presbyterian and Episcopalian). The occasional reference to the divine in his writings indicates that his faith was a guiding force in his life.
As a great lover of British poetry, Maxwell memorized poems and wrote his own. The best known is "Rigid Body Sings," closely based on "Comin' Through the Rye" by Robert Burns, which he apparently used to sing while accompanying himself on a guitar. It has the immortal opening lines:
A collection of his poems was published by his friend Lewis Campbell in 1882.
Maxwell was ranked #24 on Michael H. Hart's list of the most influential figures in history and #91 on the BBC poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.

Our friend Ivan, formerly of the China-Blogosphere, has moved back to America. Here's an email he sent us for Christmas Eve:
Dear Ned and Catherine,
Christmas greetings from Idaho!
First I want to thank Ned for the case of vodka, my favorite brand from Kazakhstan, the one that comes in an assortment of different unlabeled jars. And thanks for the gift subscription to Soldier of Fortune magazine. I've ordered one for you too, using your name and address on the postcard that said "bill me later".
My fiancee, Hypatia de la Pink, gave me a lap dance for Christmas at the place where we first met, in the third booth from the left at her place of work. And according to our personal little tradition, she invited me to stuff a ten dollar bill into her g-string. I always ask her if it's "sexual harassment" for me to do that at her workplace, but she always assures me that it's not.
Her children, my soon-to-be-stepchildren, Josiah-Reagan (age 13), Manuel (age 15, according to Immigration) and Shanika (age 16), all look forward to Christmas Eve in "Uncle Ivan's" bunker. Hypatia appreciates my multicultural sensitivity, especially when it comes to her children. She says, "Ivan, you're the only man I know who's ever been able to make peace between those little bastards." But multiculturalism isn't so hard, if you have enough weed and vodka and ammunition.
Little Josiah-Reagan has finished his first year of missionary training in the Church of the Aryan Savior. Now (did I tell you yet?) as I recently converted to Mormonism, I've been able to mediate as a neutral between Josiah-Reagan and his stepbrother Manuel, who is a devout Catholic. Manuel says he loves "Jesus and Che". But he seems to think "Jesus" (he pronounces it "hay-zoos") is the guy who tattooed his name on Manuel's chest. Anyway, whenever Josiah-Reagan and Manuel begin calling each other "Yankee Imperialist" and "Godless Communist Scum", I remind Manuel that it is insensitive to call Josiah-Reagan a "yankee", as he regularly attends KKK rallies. And I remind Josiah-Reagan that it is insensitive to suggest that any native speaker of Spanish is a Communist, because most Hispanics have very Christian names like "Fidel".
As for Shanika, she will soon give birth to her first son, and she plans to name him "Barack the Secondiferous". I've given her a Koran for Christmas, and she told me, "you know where you can put this", and I knew she meant "under the tree".
And I've invited some local members of my local Mormon Church over for some vodka. Several of them have showed up already, after their businesses were ruined by "homosexual community" boycotts. Now that they're unemployed, they do deserve a few drinks.
So you see, I really do believe in "diversity". Actually, I believe in it far more than most Americans do. Here's a song by (Jewish) Tom Lehrer, which summarises my thoughts about the American cult of "sensitivity" in the Age of Obama:

Today all that's left of that dream is the bruising memory of a rape and the lingering anger over the academy's alleged failure to fully investigate her complaint, accusing her instead, she says, of being a "liar." Over the past month, at least 22 other women--13 former cadets and nine currently enrolled have made similar charges, accusing academy officials not only of failing to investigate sexual assaults but of actively discouraging women from reporting them, and retaliating when they did. Yet in the past decade, only one academy cadet has been court-martialed on a rape charge; the cadet was acquitted. "It's the good-ole-boy society," says Fullilove. "The guy who did this to me knew nothing would happen to him."
Spurred by the rising number of women speaking out, Air Force Secretary John Roche made a rare visit to the school last week to address 2,000 cadets, warning that he would "not tolerate" rapists or a culture that accepted sexual harassment at the academy. "There are now many questions about the character of all Air Force Academy cadets and recent graduates due to reported sexual assaults clearly criminal acts by a dangerous minority." He promised that "these bums" would be investigated and prosecuted. His trip followed a meeting with Colorado Senator Wayne Allard in Washington, who presented Roche with a list of nine questions about assault cases reported to his office since last summer.
Meanwhile, the Air Force's top general, John Jumper, told reporters in Washington that the process for reporting abuse was not working and that "intimidation in the chain of command" may have kept women silent. The Senate Armed Services Committee, on which Allard sits, is likely to push for a full hearing.
The new rape cases, first uncovered by the investigative unit at Denver's ABC affiliate KMGH, raise the question of whether the Tailhook sex-abuse scandal that hit the Navy in the early 1990s ever produced a new system capable of punishing men who commit these kinds of crimes. In 1993 the Air Force Academy launched a program touted as a model for teaching character, and three years later it instituted a rape-crisis hot line run by cadets. The academy claims fewer than 100 calls were placed to the hot line between 1996 and 2002, but this may be because some cadets went to civilian rape-crisis centers. A center in Colorado Springs says it has counseled at least 22 cadets over the past 15 years, including one who was gang-raped. In the past seven years, only 20 cases of sexual assault have been formally investigated at the school, leading to the dismissal of eight male cadets.
The level of disillusionment Fullilove feels matches the enthusiasm she felt as an 18-year-old high school senior from Dayton, Ohio, visiting the Air Force Academy for the first time in the spring of 1999. Only the best and brightest, the top 20% of their high school class, have a chance at admission. Fullilove was that and more. She was a straight-A student, a cheerleader, a hurdle jumper and a swim-team member. A dance champion by age 5, she choreographed her own routines, sang and did comedy. She was determined to follow in the footsteps of her mother, an Air Force lieutenant colonel with a 20-year career in biomedical research, and her stepdad, a reservist who regularly ships out to battle zones as a medical technician.
But Fullilove had been at the academy barely six months when her hopes were shattered. Shortly before Thanksgiving 1999, she joined some friends to watch the movie She's All That at Arnie's, a lecture hall hangout on the school grounds where no alcohol is allowed. As Fullilove and three girlfriends were leaving, an upperclassman they knew offered them a ride to their dorms. Fullilove was the last to be dropped off, but she trusted the male cadet; he had bailed her out of two infraction charges that eventually proved unfounded but could have resulted in her being expelled. So, she says, she wasn't even worried when he pulled over and locked the car doors. But, struggling now to hide her emotions like a good soldier, she sums up the moment she lost her virginity simply: "He forced himself on me. I tried to scream and fight, but of course everybody's in shape at the academy. Me against him was no fight."

Potential New Profits
It is simple. The Street Trencher will make you money, lower your labor costs and shorten your project schedule. It provides extraordinary cost efficiencies.
For a comparison on one project, a customer saw cut a section of asphalt road 12" thick and it took a good part of the day to do it. We cut the exact same amount in the same material in less than 45 minutes. On another project, the job could not be started due to permits not being issued. The morning the permit was issued, 10 minutes after receiving the call, the pavement cutting started. Forty-five minutes later, the trench had been cut for a full crew day of production.
You Do The Math
Factors to consider in your calculations:
- Speed of Cutting
- Cut and Crush Pavement in One Operation
- No Disposal
- Little or No Trucking
- Faster Mark Out
- One Mark Out Line
- No Slurry
- Less Water
- No Dumping Fees
- No Steel Plates
If you excavate utility trenches every day, you know the costs to perform the operations required. We guarantee that, in almost all conditions, the Street Works Street Trencher will out-perform any other pavement cutting method and make you money.
If you have a pavement cutting problem and want to find the best way to resolve it, give us a call today. We will prove, in real-world conditions, just what the Street Trencher can do.

You can withdraw from your ISA at any time you wish, without charge. Learn more about how to withdraw and withdrawal timescales here.
If you have money in both ISA and general investment accounts with us, we will first withdraw money from the general investment portion so as not to affect your ISA allowance. If the requested amount is more than the total amount held in the general investment account, we will then use ISA funds to complete the withdrawal.
The Nutmeg stocks and shares ISA is not a flexible ISA, therefore if you're withdrawing from the ISA your ISA allowance will remain used.
As an example; If you contributed £1,000 to your ISA and withdrew £500, you would have still used £1,000 of your ISA allowance and the ISA contribution bar will still show £1,000. If you were to later re-deposit the £500, your total ISA allowance used that year would be £1,500.

About the author: Best known for his work in mysteries, Hy was one of the original writers for the groundbreaking series, Monk. He worked on the show for all eight seasons, the final two as Co-Executive Producer, and received three Edgar Nominations from the Mystery Writers of America for "Best TV Episode." In a related project, Hy was Executive Producer and head writer of Little Monk, a series of short films featuring Adrian Monk as a ten-year-old. His latest TV work was as writer and Consulting Producer for White Collar.
Hy is also the author of hundreds of short stories and ten books of short whodunits, which have been sold around the world in fourteen languages. Hy's first full-length comedy/mystery play, Home Exchange, premiered at the Waterfront Playhouse in Key West in May 2012. He recently authored a humor book called Things Your Dog Doesn't Want You to Know. Visit the author's website right here.
You can read my review of Rally 'Round the Corpse. It's a pretty great book, you can buy it here.
And, I hope you read and enjoy this interview as much as I did!
Thank you, Hy, for this great interview.
1. What inspired you to write Rally 'Round the Corpse? What led you to the idea of the Abel Adventures Mystery series? (Also, how long can we expect the series to be?)
Hy: A lot of my early mysteries were created for platforms and electronic devices that no longer exist, including Clue VCR, a popular game back in the mid-80s.
When the Internet came around, no one knew what kind of content would be successful. I was asked by Prodigy (an early version of AOL) to write a mystery serial with a different chapter every day and a different mystery every month. The result was "Abel Adventures", with Tom Abel, a character similar to Amy Abel, who led adventure tours around the world. This idea always stayed with me, even though the original stories have been lost to time – and a few computer crashes.
I'm on my way to finishing book two in the series, "If I Die Before the Wake". I would love to continue the concept. But of course it all depends on the popularity of the first two.
2. Which are your most memorable writing experiences? On the other hand, what is your worst experience as a writer?
Hy: One of my favorite experiences, writing or not, was my time spent on "Monk". To be with great, funny writers every day and churning out a hit TV show… There's nothing better.
My least favorite was when a network, which shall remain nameless, hired me to turn one of their teenage sitcoms into a TV movie. Their style was to ignore all my sincere requests for feedback and then suddenly micromanage. "No, that's not what we wanted. What made you think that?" I quit, the only time I quit a job, and went to work for "White Collar" instead.
Later I heard from the writer who took my place. He was put through hell for over a year before it finally got filmed.
3. Do you have any advice for budding writers, any "five things to remember" when writing a mystery? What is the biggest mistake, according to you, that a mystery writer could make?
Hy: Okay. Five quick rules.
- Pay attention to logic. Mystery fans want it to all make sense.
- Action isn't as important in a book as it is in a movie, e.g. don't spend ten pages describing a fight or a car chase.
- Don't be afraid of atmosphere. There's a reason why Swedish mysteries are popular.
- Give your characters different voices. They shouldn't all talk like you.
- As Elmore Leonard said, "Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip." How did Cary Grant get off Mount Rushmore at the end of "North by Northwest"? We don't know and we don't care.
The biggest mistake of new writers is to create a detailed outline before starting. If your story has good bones to begin with, it will tell you where to go next.
4. Having written mysteries for a long time, how do you think the genre has evolved over the years?
Hy: I think the best mysteries are a lot better than they used to be, with great characters and great atmosphere. The detectives are darker and the crimes more imaginative and gruesome. With the exception of cozies, it takes itself much more seriously than it used to.
On the other hand, the worst mysteries are a lot worse. With the advent of self-publishing and e-publishing, anyone with a murderous thought has a book out there, competing for the same eyeballs and wallets. Remember, a free e-book is not free. You pay for it with wasted hours and annoyance.

NAMSA Brings Baba Olatunji Alive On Award Night(Photos)
It was July 10, 2017. On this day ALEDEH wrote on the coming NAMSA award in the city of Boston. The name "Baba" alone resonates so much love and influence here in the United States, sadly, only a few know about the greatness of Baba Olatunji.
Nigerian International Music star said to ALEDEH "99% of Nigerians don't know Olatunji or how influential he was in the Jazz scene. He played with and mentored the greats like Miles Davis and John Coltrane and also gave Santana one of his biggest hits ever "Jingo". So, determined to bring this maestro back home, ALEDEH worked closely with the organisers of the maiden edition of the Olatunji Prize for Arts and Culture. NAMSA an acronym for the Nigerian American Multi-Service Association pulled lovers of African music and art and even the family of Baba Olatunji to the Snowden Auditorium in UMASS Boston, the United States on August 26.
Finding the Snowden Auditorium took a bit of time due to the massive rehabilitation and construction going on at the University of Massachusetts. NAMSA made their first point clear as the event went on as scheduled. "African Time" had no place on that day.
For an award which is named after legendary African drummer, educator, social activist, recording artist, and cultural ambassador Babatunde Olatunji, it was understood why without any prompting almost everyone came in the colourful African attires. The super rich music spiced with the break out sessions by the young minds made it an evening to remember till the second award.

Godwin Nnanna is the head of NAMSA and he said the award will be bestowed annually upon artists whose works exemplify the best of African, Afro-Caribbean and African American arts and culture.

So when the winner was announced we were able to gauge the overwhelming acceptance from the ovation by the crowd.
Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo emerged winner of the star prize. Iyeoka, a first-generation Nigerian American was a practising pharmacist before launching her musical career. She began her musical career by founding the group The Rock by Funk Tribe, a collective of musicians that enabled her to interweave her poetry with jazz, blues, funk, and gospel.

While many came especially to America from Africa on a "slave-ship" Babatunde Olatunji came to America on an "education-ship" in 1950. Burning with a passion to study and become an ambassador, Mr Olatunji received a scholarship to attend the prestigious Morehouse College in Atlanta. He studied public administration at New York University, where he formed an African-style ensemble that eventually turned into his full-time occupation. He led an African ensemble that performed at concerts and civil rights rallies in the 50s. Some of his biggest were concerts and at civil rights rallies led by the Rev. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. After the group appeared with an orchestra at Radio City Music Hall, Mr Olatunji was signed to Columbia Records. Mr Olatunji secured Foundation grants to tour schools. Among the students who were impressed by his performances, dressed in African attire and playing hand-hewn goat-hide drums was Mickey Hart, who would go on to join the Grateful Dead and later recharge Mr Olatunji's career.

Baba's birth place Ajido, Badagry, a fishing and trading village pervaded by Yoruba culture, saw many taken out through the slave routes in Nigeria. On his arrival in America, he made a style in his work to bring village memories to audiences everywhere. His band of drummers, singers and dancers evoked both the village's music and its masquerades, with a huge size figure dancing in elaborate raffia costumes. His credo was: "Rhythm is the soul of life. The whole universe revolves in rhythm. Everything and every human action revolve in rhythm."
Just a day to his 77th birthday, Babatunde Olatunji, the Nigerian drummer, bandleader and teacher who was a tireless ambassador for African music and culture in the United States, died on Sunday in Salinas, Calif. He was 76 and lived at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, Calif.
Goodbye Photo With Mama Olatunji After Taking Us Down Memory Lane. She Wanted The Love Sign "Because Love Is Such A Powerful Force"
Mr Olatunji's 1959 album, "Drums of Passion," was the first album of African drumming recorded in stereo in an American studio, and it introduced a generation to the power and intricacy of African music. While field recordings of African drumming had been available, "Drums of Passion" reached a mass public with its vivid sound and exotic song titles like "Primitive Fire."

So as I was crusing the web doing some research for my Painkiller post and I happen to wade up to the Soggy Dollar Bar's site…inventor of the Painkiller/best beach bar in the world.
While there something mind blowing caught my eye, something so powerful it shook the very bar stool I was in. What could it be? Thanks for asking, Ill tell you. It was a free membership to the soggy dollar bar's PainKiller Club!
Ok, not an extremely earth moving find but I'm easily amused and thought it was cool, so I joined.
The benefits to this exclusive club are many.
- Exclusive access through the VIP door
- Free use of any unoccupied hammock (occupied hammocks available at your own risk)
- A 10% discount from the Soggy Dollar Boutique at www.soggydollar.com
- Free use of tanning facilities and unlimited sand
- An irregularly published newsletter on all the Soggy Dollar fun
- Anything you can get away with by showing this card to any bartender in the world. Good luck with that one.
So next time you are sailing around the BVI or happen to find yourself on the Soggy Dollar bar's website staring at the webcam like a stalk be sure to take the time to become a member of the PainKiller club. Even if you never use it, it's still an exclusive club.
Cheers to the Salt Life,

Everyone likes to enjoy their free time in a more effective way. It would be more interesting and joyful if we spend the time in playing games, solving puzzles etc. Touch me not is an interesting project that allows the user to upgrade his concentration and a relief providing game.
This project is mainly designed as Events to be conducted at Exhibitions, Fetes etc. This project seems to be easy but it includes different interfacings with the microcontroller. This project uses 89C51 microcontroller. Seven segment displays are provided in this project for the display of various parameters like chances, time etc.
In this project, the user will be provided with a maximum of five chances and a time limit up to 180 seconds to play the game. The operator sets the chances and time using switches. LEDs are used in this project to indicate the number of chances selected.
Three switches are used to set the chances, time and start the game. Seven segment displays are used to display the numbers i.e., chances, entered time and current time. Once the chances and time are set, the operator presses the enter switch to start the game. Once the game is started, the time starts decreasing and the user has to play the game within the given time. The game is to move the iron rod from one end of the rope to the other end without touching the rope. If the rod touches the rope, the chances will be decremented by one and the game continues until the time is completed or the chances are equal to zero.
After the game is completed, the operator can press the enter switch once again for the next participant to play the game with the same settings i.e.; time and chance values set previously or can press the reset switch to start with the new settings.
This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA power supply. 7805 three terminal voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the ac out put of secondary of 230/12V step down transformer.

Albion parking lot once home to law office
Old-Time Orleans, Vol. 1, Issue 32
This image shows Mrs. Jennie McGuire Leonard standing in front of her millinery located on North Main Street in Albion. The beautiful building constructed of brick was designed in the Federal style, often referred to as the Classical Revival style. This type of architecture pre-dates the Greek Revival style that is often seen throughout Orleans County and structures of this type would have appeared as late as 1840.
Prior to serving as a place of business for Mrs. Leonard, the building acted as the law office of the Hon. Gideon Hard.

Although his maternal great uncle, Seth Warner, was a respected captain with the Green Mountain Boys during the American Revolution, his father's family were hardened Loyalists.
Attending Union College in Schenectady, Hard graduated in 1822 and immediately began the study of law.… More
