Armando de Armas, the sexiest Cuban porn star since Lucas Entertainment's favorite Rafael Carreras, and it's no wonder why! He loves having sexy and being sexy in front of the camera — that's what influenced him to break into the industry. Armando is all top through and through and loves fucking hungry bottoms; he prefers that they either be white or Latin. Though Armando is currently in a relationship, that won't prevent him from starring in future releases!

My aim is to enliven your personal inquiry, to generate dialogue that ignites your understanding and insight. I employ your horoscope and dream field to support this process, to evoke guidance.
Guidance appears naturally within the field of inquiry. Guidance can also arise in your personal sensations, feelings, images and memories that accompany the session.
Inquiry that is open-ended, without goals or expectations is magical. Inquiry allows you to move beyond the discursive movement of your mind. This is a good thing.
The spinning mind is just like the hard drive on a computer: All the mind can do is replay old knowledge, ideas, solutions and fears — all of which block guidance and understanding that is always available now.
My fee structure is set as follows:
Consultations are held in my home, in my living room (picture below) — a spacious, relaxed space that overlooks Puget Sound. I also conduct sessions online via Skype.
Please allow a one week lead-in time for your session as I'm usually booked several weeks in advance.
Need more information? Well, here you go:
I am not a predictive astrologer. 40 years of experience — and having worked with thousands of clients — has shown that astrology can not predict the future. I'm sorry.
The future is a private affair between Source and creation — that would be you, me and the manifest world. We are here as participants in an unfathomable mystery. To understand your place in the mystery is understandable. But to interfer and muddle is not helpful. Why court confusion by filling your mind with predictions: Maybes, 'what ifs' and vague possibilities. I mean, who has time for that sort of nonsense?
My efforts are towards the pragmatic: What is worthwhile, specific, and realistic for you — in other words an exploration that is grounded in reality. Trying to guess the future is not helpful, in fact it's actually a distraction from engaging with your present-time journey. Astrology and dream work can help with this engagement. When past, present and future combine we move into the timeless now. And from there the sky is the limit. The future will take care of itself.
I prefer doing 'series work' with my clients. One-time sessions are often nerve wracking because the client feels pressured, like she has to have all of her issues or questions or history explored in one appointment, and of course this is not humanly possible.
Should you book a one-time session with me I will have you choose one or two pressing concerns to explore, so the session is of value to you.
Setting up a series of sessions (which I discount to 85.00 per session, booked in blocks of four) invites your dream field to participate in your astrological inquiry. Dreams bring the unconscious, as an ally, into the field of inquiry. All of my longtime clients have expressed how helpful this technique has been for them. So, please consider this option when choosing how you would like to work with me.

Rising Damp Solutions
Rising Damp Solutions in Banbury and the surrounding areas.
The Problem
Rising Damp usually occurs when unprotected porous materials (e.g. bricks and stone) come into contact with damp earth.
There are many symptoms associated with damp:
- Damp is unsightly and causes damage to decoration, manifesting itself often as wavy lines along walls, peaking at corners.
- Damp often leads to timber decay, particularly in older properties with unprotected timbers.
- Damage is caused to plaster and rendering as a result of hygroscopic salt contamination
- The moisture present often increases the conductivity of the walls, resulting in increased heat loss from the property.
- The health of you and these around you can be put at risk due to the increase in fungal and mould growth spores.
- Damp can affect all unprotected wall whether internal or external.
The Solution
Methods of control vary because there are four main sources of dampness:
- Rising Damp
- Penetrating Damp
- The weather
- Dampness caused by plumbing
Our fully trained and experienced survey ours will correctly diagnose the nature of the problem and recommend the most effective damp proofing system for your particular problem and property.
You will also have a peace of mind an insured long term guarantee for the work carried out.
Rising Damp is cured by:
Pressure Injection
Water based fluids are pressure injected into the walls to combat the damp. Pressure injection works best in a sound wall of fairly uniform porosity.
Injection Mortar
This grouting type of material is ideal for many applications, particularly where a good sized bed - joint is in evidence. The damp-proofing agent is carried into the porous mortar beds and rubble by the Rising Damp, where it crystallises to form an impermeable barrier to control subsequent water rise.
Injection Cream
The cream is introduced into a series of holes drilled into the motor course by the means of an application gun. Once the cream is installed, it fusses before curing to form a water replant resin this prevents damp from rising up the wall.

19 notes &
IN HONOR OF THE ITALIAN EARTHQUAKE SCIENTISTS CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER* (Please click on Arrow to Play Song)
Did Galileo Pray?
When he looked
Into a starry sky upon Jupiter,
With its cold moons
Making their weary rounds.
Did he know that the Pope
Would claim that he ran with Lucifer
And a prison cell
Would be where he'd lay his head down?
Was he wearing a thorny crown?
When he plotted the motion of planets,
Was Mercury in retrograde?
But he found the truth when a lie was what was demanded.
When the judges asked him pointedly
He was a' trembling that day.
Did Galileo pray?
And he said,
"Tell Ptolemy, tell Copernicus,
That the Sun is at the core of us
The Church, the Pope
Can't deny the Milky Way
And every flower that follows the sun,
Has known all along
What God had done
They whisper truth
As the seasons each give way."
Don't shoot the messenger,
The postman delivers Truth today.
And Truth will march in Birmingham
It will block the tanks in Tiananmen.
Put the judges on the witness stand
Let's see what they all say.
In the heavens you'll see it
As God has conceived it.
Oh, believe it.
Oh, what have you got to do to believe?
(Composed and performed by Ellis Paul)

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Popular US manufacturer of network equipment Cisco Systems stated on Monday that it plans to cut about 1,300 jobs as part of the ongoing effort to restructure the company and evaluate the feasibility of various markets around the world.
"We are currently implementing a targeted set of limited restructuring plans that are expected to impact about 2% of our global employees," the company said in an e-mailed statement.
These actions are part of an ongoing process to streamline the company and evaluate the economic environment in certain parts of the world, Cisco Systems explained in the email.
According to the Cisco Systems website, the company had 65,223 employees in its rosted as of the end of its third fiscal quarter.
Cisco began a plan to cut costs by approximately 1B US dollars last year, all in an effort to reduce unnecessary spending and increase company efficiency and productivity.
During that time, the company said it planned to cut about 15% of its global workforce, restructuring different departments in order to have leaner and more streamlined operations.
Cisco Systems is expected to publish a report on its fourth fiscal quarter come August 15th to provide a clear picture of the recent changes made in the company's organizational structure.

"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
A lot of highway patrol refer that as biting the bumper, they usually creep up to get a clear look at the plate, occupants, and to make sure that the car they are behind knows it is them they want to pull over when they hit their lights and sirens. Sadly, professional courtesy rarely exists for even fellow law enforcement let alone the general public. The protect part is still in effect, but the serve part is sometimes questionable.
I dunno, I was always taught that if you rearend someone, you're automatically at fault.
I guess that's only true if your a civillian.
My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.
I hope that dude's lawyer turns the tables on that idiot cop and gets charges filed. That would be some sweet justice.

I've always understood, at least here in Ohio, that the concept of "Assured Clear Distance" applies, meaning no matter what happens and no matter where, the driver BEHIND is responsible to leave enough distance to avoid a car in front.
This applies if you are 10 car lengths behind the car in front of you, but are rear-ended and pushed ahead the 10 car-length buffer into the car ahead. You are cited for hitting the car in front of you, and the guy behind you is only cited for running into you.
This one seems cut and dried that the officer embarrassingly screwed up, and is now trying to use his position of authority to cover his ass. I hope Hitchcock (the convertible driver) has a good attorney because he deserves a settlement, espically in light of the officer trying to set him up by meeting him for lunch with a hidden recording device.

Got to side with the old man on this one. Cop made a mistake.
The cop did not "Make a mistake." He is aggressively abusing his power.
If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
Ok I live about 20 minutes from where this happened. In SoCal the rule of thumb is Motor officers are usually laid back and cool, wont bust you for stuff unless YOU did something stupid. Bike cops of the other hand are total a**holes. Every ticket Ive ever gotten has been by a bike cop with nothing better to do then post up and look for someone to bust. Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you bike cops just look for reasons to give you problems.
You mean doing the job they are paid to do with your tax dollars? I'm sorry, I know what you are saying and nobody likes an a$$hat cop. But just because they pull you over and ticket you for breaking a law, no matter how small of an offense YOU might think it is, as long as they enforce them equally for all, I don't think this qualifies them as a$$hats. Tailgating puts them in the ranks of law breaker rather than law enforcer, and then to do it on a bike one has to question his IQ.
You're talking about SoCal. EVERYTHING is illegal. You literally can't cross the street without getting a ticket in some parts of SoCal. I've had friends get tickets for jaywalking because they were in a crosswalk when the stop hand started to flash. You're telling me that cop isn't an asshat? Yeah, he is.
If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
I'm cheering for the convertible driver. For gosh sake, he just lost his wife! Hope they take the city & the cop to the cleaners....

after reading the article, all i can say is WOW. Is this cop serious? I hope they turn this thing around and prosecute his side for harassment, and abuse of power. This is completely ridiculous, and should have just been written up as a motorcycle rear ending a car. Let me go on record right now and say, " that cop is a complete *******".

The cop effed up. He rear-ended the driver ahead of him. Just because he's a cop doesn't excuse him. Uphold the law that you're sworn to protect and admit you messed up, instead of putting the blame on someone who is clearly innocent of any wrong doing, IMO.
I agree, the officer and anyone supporting this absurd nonsense are asshats.
That's just stupid. Really, really stupid.
Here, I'll sum it up in just a few key words.....cop, drugs are bad, get a life. Idiot.

As a California native I've lived here in Southern California for almost my entire life. Everyone knows that this area (Redondo, Manhattan Beach in particular) is a place to avoid because of aggressive policing. I prefer never to go there, and when I have to, I am extra careful not to attract any attention.
The same goes for Huntington Beach, CA. They actually have a law against having a car accident of any kind in their town, IF you are not a resident of Huntington Beach. They are trying to keep people away so I try never to spend any time or money in cities like this unless absolutely necessary. F 'em. The cops around there are known to wait outside bars and restaurants for patrons who may have had a couple drinks.
Huntington Beach also enforces a noise control law that has virtually made the city off-limits to Harley Davidson owners with loud (read normal) exhaust.
The going rate for a jay walking ticket in downtown Los Angeles is currently $190.00 and they are writing them like crazy because of the budget deficit.
I too hope this Redondo Beach cop has to pay for this BS, but not if it is with taxpayer money. This is unbelievable.

Women And Social Security
March is Women's History Month—a time to focus not just on the past, but on the challenges women continue to face in the 21st century.
Social Security plays a vital role in the lives of women. With longer life expectancies than men, women tend to live more years in retirement and have a greater chance of exhausting other sources of income. With the national average life expectancy for women in the United States rising, many women will have decades to enjoy retirement. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a girl born today can expect to live more than 80 years. As a result, experts generally agree that if women want to ensure that their retirement years are comfortable, they need to plan early and wisely.
What you can do
The best place to begin is by knowing what you can expect to receive from Social Security, and how much more you are likely to need.
You can start with a visit to Social Security's Retirement Estimator. There, in just a few minutes, you can get a personalized, instant estimate of your retirement benefits. You can find it at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator.
You should also visit Social Security's financial planning Web site at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners. It provides detailed information about how marriage, widowhood, divorce, self-employment, government service, and other life or career events can affect your Social Security.
If you want more information about the role of Social Security in women's lives today, Social Security also has a booklet that you may find useful. It is called Social Security: What Every Woman Should Know. You can find it online at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10127.html.

FRIDAY FINANCIALS by Jed Marquis
Posted on Friday, July 27th, 2012 at 5:36pm.
Our sustained drop in rates appears over for now, even with additional weak economic reports in the US. Currently mortgage rates are up significantly, close to a quarter percent. The bellwether 10 year treasury is up 10 basis points to 1.55%, the highest yield since early July. Mortgages are running towards 3.625% this afternoon.
The US GDP report come out below expectations at 1.5%, down from the 1st quarter's 2.0% number and well below the level needed to grow jobs. New jobless claims came in at 353,000, a good number and below the expectations of 380,000, triggering a major drop in the 4 week average, now at 367,000 down from last weeks 376,000. And our Durable Goods Orders came in at a much stronger than expected 1.6%, well above the consensus 0.6%. But upon looking a little deeper, much of the increase was due to new aircraft orders – very big ticket and often canceled items. When the more volatile transportation numbers are removed, the GDP was at -1.1%, well below the expected 0.2%. All-in-all a somewhat confusing collection of data.
What's driving the bond yields and interest rates up is the news from Europe that European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will hold talks with Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann in the near future about his plan for a multi-pronged approach to reduce bond interest rates throughout Europe and support the bail out funds. With Spain, Germany and France in support the plan could end the majority of the European crisis. With Europe appearing more stable for the moment, US and German bonds are taking it on the chin. If the plan comes together, we can expect rates to remain somewhat higher, although a movement this strong seems out of line. If the plan fails we could see the 10 year drop another .25% into the 3.25% range – into very, very uncharted area.
With the Olympic opening ceremonies today, here's a interesting fact: In the early 1900's painting and metal works among other events, were part of the Olympics. The last year for competitive poetry was 1948.
Have a great weekend.

Cornmeal breaded oysters make a mouth-watering filling for this poor boy sandwich. Spinach and a spicy mayonnaise spread finish the sandwich.
1. Whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Combine cornmeal, salt, and pepper in another bowl. In batches, dip oysters in egg mixture, then in cornmeal mixture, coating both sides.
2. Deep-fry coated oysters 1-2 min., until golden and cooked through. Drain and keep warm.
3. Combine mayonnaise, jalapeños, and lemon juice in small bowl; spread on toasted buns. For service, fill buns with fried oysters and spinach leaves; top with Parmesan cheese.

I have the following function to confirm if a directory contains files:
* Check if the directory is empty
* Function to ascertain if the specified directory contains files.
* Comparing to two, because parent and current are present inside
* the returned array. Only 3+ denotes files on the target dir.
* @param str $dir Directory to scan.
* @param bol $count Whether the return value should be the count result
* @return bool|int Integer with count, TRUE or FALSE for check
public function directory_with_contents($dir, $count = false) {
try {
if (!is_readable($dir)) return NULL;
if ($count) {
return count(scandir($dir));
} else {
return (count(scandir($dir)) == 2) ? false : true;
catch(PDOException $e) {
throw new userman_Exception("
ups!

". $e->getMessage());
The functions works well, but it is being used with directories that contain over one million files inside. The scandir()
takes his time to return the results, and in turn this function with a large amount of files becomes slow.
My question is:
Is any optimization that can be done as to have this function performing any faster when dealing with directories that have a large amount of files?

The Japanese language can be extremely convenient. There is no small talk, in most cases you don't need to state the subject or object or sentences, and there are single words and expressions that can express a way of thinking or ideology that have no equivalent in English.
If there is one word that is used and repeated more than any other in Japanese it is "Gambarimasu". A quick look at a dictionary would tell you the word translates to "good luck" or "do your best". However, as you will soon discover with many Japanese words, this one has a more complex meaning and importance in Japanese social culture. "Gambaru" or gambaru-ism is the primary philosophy of the Japanese.
Gambatte Meaning
I first remember hearing the word when working at a restaurant. I was making salads and slicing raw fish at a counter bar. A male customer was quite surprised to see me working there. We had a conversation about why and what I was doing in Japan. At the end of our conversation when he was getting ready to leave he said "Gambatte kudasai". I wasn't sure what he meant and my co-workers were unable to explain to me the meaning of the expression. Later, I found out the expression meant "Please, do your best". I found this a little odd – a customer telling a me, either as a foreigner or staff member to do my best. Then I began hearing the word more and more.
The term is used as encouragement, as a promise, as a dedication or a battle cry. When baseball players golfers, singers, sumo wrestlers, newly elected politicians and others are interviewed they invariably promise to gambaru. It is used and said almost in every situation imaginable. Well-wishers seeing friends and co-workers off abroad yell out "Gambatte". Newly hired employees pledge that they will do their absolute best for their company by gambaru-ing. Control Freak parents expect nothing less than their children to gambaru in the their school work.
You hear it so often that you begin to understand that it is an important cultural expression, rather than someone expressing their intentions to be all they can be. Also, I have noticed parents often say it to their children as an expression of love ( my interpretation) , rather than an expectation of high performance. I saw parents say to their kids "Gambatte ne" on countless of occasions when they dropped them off to kindergarten. It had me confused for while, because it was kindergarten, children no older then 3 or 4 years old. I thought it was strange to be saying "Do your best" to children at such a tender age. The I realized it was just a parting greeting, much like when we say "Have fun" to our own children.
It takes years to learn Japanese and understand the language. Some words are so culturally ceremented that you need to experience several years of living in Japan to finally get them. It can be a very interesting learning process, but it is frustrating. So "Gambatte" and do your best.

Monster Hunter Festa 08 event is on the roll |
Listed in: News, Titles, Games, Events Tags: Capcom, Japan, Ryozo Tsujimoto
There's nothing quite like a major event to bring Monster Hunter fans together. As the Monster Hunter Festa 08 proceeds along its merry course in Japan, we've got the scoop on the initial happenings in the event itself.
As with the previous year's event, Monster Hunter fans met and connected through various activities. Players leveled up their characters, competed against each other, shook hands with the game's developers and bought Monster Hunter-related merchandise.
As Fukuoka was the venue for the preliminary rounds of the Japan Monster Hunter contest, eight teams were selected to move on to the succeeding rounds after passing the challenges thrown at them.
Other noteworthy event highlights included Monster Hunter Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto greeting hunters onstage. Also present at the event was a huge, 30-kilogram figure with Rathalos Armor (the same one present during the launch of Capcom's hit title, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G).
The venue for the next event is Tokyo. Stay tuned for more Monster Hunter Festa 08 updates as we get them.

The Rakes
The Rakes
Proof that one fantastic single is all it takes to make a band's name, the Rakes burst onto the London music scene in 2004 with "22 Grand Job," a pithy punk satire of crappy entry-level office jobs. Various stories swirled about how the band -- which featured vocalist/guitarist Alan Donohoe, guitarist Matthew Swinnerton, bassist Jamie Hornsmith, and drummer Lasse Petersen -- got together, ranging from elaborate tales of meeting on a flight to Amsterdam to the more plausible explanation of being childhood friends. The Rakes played a few local dates before unleashing 22 Grand Job, which was released as a limited-edition 7" by Trash Aesthetics, also the early home to Bloc Party. The single also appeared on the Fierce Panda compilation EP On the Buzzes. The band spent that spring and summer recording and supporting like-minded acts such as Bloc Party, the Others, and Art Brut. In the fall, the Rakes released their second single, Strasbourg, on City Rockers and embarked on their first tour. After signing with V2, the band rang in 2005 by gigging and working on their debut album. The singles Retreat and Work, Work, Work (Pub, Club, Sleep) anticipated the released of Capture/Release in the U.K. in summer 2005. Dim Mak released Retreat as an EP in the U.S. that fall, coinciding with the Rakes' first stateside tour. Capture/Release arrived in the U.S. in spring 2006. An EP of remixes in 2007 preceded the band's second album Ten New Messages, which appeared that spring. The band returned with the noisier Klang, which was released in the U.K. in spring 2009; the week before the album's U.S. release that fall, the band announced in a statement that they were parting ways. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

"Shoot first, Focus later" Technology
If you're a photographer and/or like cool tech, I hope you've heard the chatter about Lytro's Light Field camera launch. If the samples (be sure to check out the window shot with the frames) are indicative of what's delivered, I think we're getting a peek at a revolutionary and possibly game-changing technology.
CNET's video of Lytro's CEO Ren Ng shows a lot of possibilities. Shoot first and focus later is the big one, but single lens 3D, holography and maybe even security cameras (that really can resolve the fuzzy person in the background - just like on TV!) are in our future.
Pretty boldmove by making your own cameras, but glad to hear that licensing is under consideration. That's an iPhone upgrade I'll consider. Can't wait to try one!

Doctor contradicts Huey Long biographer 12-20-83 ST By The Associated Press Medical incompetence did not hasten the death of gravely wounded Huey Long in 1935, as his biographer suggested, according to the former dean of Louisiana State University Medical School in Shreveport. Writing in the current issue of ther LSU Medical Alumni Quarterly, Dr. Edgar Hull contradicts the story told by the late T. Harry Williams in his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, "Huey Long." Hull was a 30-year-old LSU Medical School intructor when Long, then a U.S. Senator, was shot by Dr. Carl Weiss on Sept. 8, 1935, at the state Capitol in Baton Rouge. Long died two days later. In his book, Williams suggests that the operating physician, Dr. Arthur Vidrine, might have saved Long's life ?re it not for several crucial surgical Times file photo Dr. Edgar Hull mistakes. But Hull, now 79, says Long did not die from incompetence and probably could not have been saved. Although Vidrine was not the sur-geon of Long's choice, he went ahead with surgery because he feared Long might bleed to death while awaiting other doctors. According to Williams' book, Vidrine examined Long's abdominal organs and found little damage except for two perforations in the colon. Those, he said, were sutured and the abdomen was closed. Later, after Long's doctors arrived, according to Williams, "They were shocked to learn that Vidrine had not catherized the bladder to see if it con-tained blood. At their urging, a catheter was inserted, and the urine was found to be holding a great deal of blood. A renal duct to the kidney had obviously been hit by the bullet, and Vidrine had not discovered this." Another operation, Williams said, was considered too dangerous. But, according to Hull, who was at the hospital during this time: "All this stuff about (Long's doctor) telling Vidrine that Huey was bleeding in-ternally — it couldn't have been. If Huey was bleeding, you know you ought to go back in right now and stop the bleeding. It just couldn't have been the case." Hull suggested the bleeding might have resulted from repeated catheterization and said he re-members only a small amount of blood in only one urine specimen. A urology professor examined Long, Hull said. "He (the urologist inserted needles into both perirenal spaces. I was there when he did it. "And he said, There is no bleeding around his kidney or from his kidneys, you can forget that.' I heard him say that and he left. So all this stuff... that Huey bled to death is not true. "Another reason I know it is not true is that we were doing the blood counts on Huey. He was not bleeding to death. He was dying with fulminating per-itonitis (an infection)." Hull said the cause of Long's death might have been determined had an autopsy been performed, as he sug-gested at the time. "So I said (to one of the doctors)... 'There ought to be an autopsy because there is going to be all kinds of talk about what killed him.' And he said, 'Well, let's go ask Arthur.'." Vidrine consented to the autopsy, Hull said. But Hull said Dr. E.L. Sanderson, a Long ally and head of Shreveport's Charity Hospital, objected. Said Hull: "He (Sanderson) walked into the room and Dr. Vidrine said, 'Dr. Sanderson, we're just going to speak to Rose (Long's wife) about an autopsy on Huey.' "Sanderson said, 'Oh, no, we must not violate his sacred body.' "Those were Sanderson's words and I said to myself, 'Oh, hell' But I didn't speak up. I was a coward. But there was Sanderson and he was 20 or 30 years older than I was; he had a beard and I was a youngster, so I kept my mouth shut." Hull said Williams never contacted him during his research on the book. "Maybe he didn't know I was there," he said. "He probably didn't." Hull said he did meet Williams at a Baton Rouge party and told him of the "errors." "I said, 'You should have talked to me.' And he said, 'I didn't know you were ther ""

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced during his press conference that the Broncos have lost two players for the season due to injury.
All Pro Center Tom Nalen tore his bicep and will miss the remainder of the season. Nalen's recovery time will be around four months, so it will not be career ending for the 14 year veteran.
Nate Jackson tore his groin during the game and he too will miss the remainder of the season.
One bit of good news to come out of the press conference. Pro Bowl Cornerback Champ Bailey strained his quad muscle in the game, but an MRI was negative. Shanahan says Bailey would not play this week if there was a game, but since they have a bye, he expects Bailey back for the Pittsburgh game.

The following is an actual dream included in my dream journal, and does not describe actual facts
Dream of: 17
January 2006 "Dead Judge"My father and I were in a classroom at a school which resembled Grant Junior High School. A sporting contest had taken place between two fellows at the school, and the outcome of the contest had become embroiled in controversy. One contestant had been Spencer (a boorish bully who had once been my schoolmate at Grant), and Spencer had won the contest. Since the outcome was now disputed, however, Dupuy (who had been by far the most intelligent student in my high school), had been appointed judge to determine the outcome of the contest. Dupuy (who did not look as I had remembered him) was brought in and he quickly declared that the other fellow, not Spencer, was the winner. A group of people gathered around Dupuy and began arguing against Dupuy's decision, but Dupuy wouldn't change his mind.
My father and I walked out of the classroom and out of the school. As we continued walking along, it started to rain, and I commented, "That's all we need."
It was starting to get cold and I was only wearing a short-sleeve shirt, but I was carrying a long black coat, which I unfolded and held over my head. My father said something about "not getting too hot", and I told him I wasn't getting hot. I asked if he were getting hot. From the way he was talking, I thought that he might be sick and that he might have a fever. But I certainly wasn't too hot.
We started talking about what we had just witnessed at the school and about Dupuy's decision. My father (referring to Spencer) said, "No, he just went wild. This Dupuy fellow tired to put him in his place."
Obviously my father agreed with Dupuy's decision. But I was a bit troubled by something: Wasn't Rick Dupuy dead? If Dupuy was dead, how had he appeared like that?

This is a huge, huge week for Kendall. First, she remembers that she shot David. As if that's not an unpleasant enough surprise, she also collapses and is going to die unless she gets to the hospital. Which would be made much, much easier if she -- along with a bunch of other characters -- didn't get involved in a huge accident. Who's going to come out of this one still breathing?
Across town, JR becomes aware that Annie faked that burglary weeks ago and that SHE was the one that knocked Marissa out. Backed into a corner, Annie starts to get desperate. She takes Colby hostage -- and that's just the beginning of the trouble she causes this week (yes, seriously, she does more).
Jack is not thrilled when he catches Caleb and Erica in an embrace together. Jack wants to know why Erica's not turning to him with all this Kendall stress (us, too).
Madison's baby bump is showing, so you can bet that Greenlee ups the pressure on Scott to woo her. But might Scott be falling for Lady M?
Plus the whole "should Brot or Natalia" get fired decision is reached, David's good luck streak may be up and Cara wants in on Tad's business.
Looking ahead to Feburary, expect lots of big dramz in Pine Valley:
*David may have found just the means to avoid jail time that he needs
*Ryan and Greenlee's wedding day arrives, but when Madison's pregnancy is exposed, will it put a hamper on things?
*Annie goes from bad to worse. And starts claiming victims
*Someone in Pine Valley is not who they seem
*Wedding bells will ring for a PV duo. Hint: The bride's last name is not Smythe.
What do you think about the events to come this week? What would you like to see? Sound off below!
Do these writers have any ability to write a story that isn't strictly about plot...and, you know, INTERESTING? I ask this as a huge Kendall fan...because, I don't find it interesting for Kendall to have a WEEKLY life/death crisis. Is that even a story? Or is it simply used to give Dr. Abs a reason to "get to know" Kendall? Then of course, it has to happen again for the redemption of David...then again, so Dr. Abs can be her hero...and while they are at it, throw in a car accident to further the "Annie is crazy" story and really, REALLY stress the life/death situation that Kendall is in...AGAIN! Ummm...what part of this is about the character of Kendall? Just because she is in the scene...doesn't translate to it being about the CHARACTER of Kendall Hart Slater. Kendall is a strong, vibrant woman. She has lost the love of her life. How about showing a strong, vibrant woman transitioning into being a single mother, who runs a business? How about a woman who takes the lead in finding out who killed her soulmate...and will not be stopped until she knows the truth. This show desperately needs that "truth" to be an alive TK/Zach...AMC is in desperate need for the actor/character and the couple of Zendall. It would give AMC instant romance, which is so desperately lacking, it is basically non-existent. It wouldn't have to be contrived or forced...it is right there for the viewing. TK offers a depth and layers to the character of Zach...that is rare and also non-existent on AMC since TK left.
I have been watching the clips of shows to be aired, and why is the cardiac doctor driving the ambulance that is taking Kendall somewhere to be saved? Ever heard of a helicopter? He probably would fly that too! Is Jake the only doctor in Pine Valley? He is always on call, and treating all emergencies, and still has time to run the hospital in Angie's absence. Let's at least have pretend doctors in the background. And the scene with Ryan taking David was ridiculous. How come everyone is using cell phones in the hospitals. I am so tired of seeing all these car accidents in all the soaps. It gets boring after you see it more than 20 times.
I really think it sucks what Ryan did to David. Ryan is a cold character. I think that David is going to turn around the be a better person. Ryan is still a sleeze! But him and Greenlee make a good couple, they're both sleeze bags. I am looking forward to this big drama where Kendall's life is on the line and Griff has to save her life. It's going to come out that he's in love with her, obviously, because she's the only patient he has that he puts so much importance on. How many doctors do you know that will show up at your place of business to make sure you're okay. Enough said. But I really think it's sad that they're making Annie crazy again. She was doing good until all of this Marissa stuff happened. I know she's leaving, why send her off in a bad way, I am NOT on board with this storyline AT ALL!
I also wish they would bring back Thorsten Kaye. Kendal and Zac are true soap couples that were meant to be always only you..
This thing with Annie is so annoying. She is so much better as a good person not crazy. It's tiring to watch her being crazy. Also Greenly all worried about Madision is so stupid she is so much stronger than that. M should not be a threat to her and Ryan..
I am totally bored with the show. I am sick of Kendall's health problems being used over and over to contrive a connection between her and that control freak of a doctor. Using a character like Kendall to carry the weight of a newbie, who has no other connection to her other than that he is her doctor and wasting the talents of an actress of Alicia 's caliber on such a ridiculously contrived s/l is a crying shame and mind boggling to boot. Kendall has the potential of carrying a s/l by herself as a single mother/business woman struggling to get back her life after losing Zach, her husband, the love of her life. She doesn't need an albatross such as Griffen around her neck, just to satisfy a stupid HW's agenda to pair her with a character/actor, who she has absolutely no chemistry with and whose scenes together are awkward and look forced.
I agree with all who have expressed a desire to see widow Slater start to investigate Zach's death and begin to believe that he may be alive and to start searching for him with the help of Tad and Jesse. Thorsten Kaye's return to AMC would revitalize the show and a s/l such as outlined above would make the show worth watching again.
I have never missed Zach more than reading AMC's plans for February sweeps.
Rather than unnecessary health problems for an unpopular purpose, Kendall needs to start investigating Zach's plane crash, leading to the resolution that her soulmate is alive! Please bring back fan favorites Thorsten Kaye, Zach Slater and Zendall!
I miss Thorsten Kaye dearly! Before it's too late, please work out an arrangement allowing Mr. Kaye to return! Alicia Minshew is my favorite daytime actress and I very much enjoy feisty, protective Kendall Slater. Giving Mrs. Slater ongoing health issues is not what I want to see, but rather Kendall searching for her husband. Finding Zach alive, allowing Team Slater to continue their journey together!
I'm so tired of Kendall being in jeopardy--especially health jeopardy. Hasn't this woman been thru enough? Kendall is basically a strong, feisty, take no prisoners woman. She should be the one investigating Zach's death, while dealing with grief, running her business and raising her boys. I have no doubt Kendall could multi-task. She doesn't need a man every minute--and certainly not Griffin who is in no way her match. Then maybe while Kendall was doing all these other things, you could be working toward bringing Zach/TK back--so that she will be free of romantic entanglements and ready to receive her husband and soulmate--and they can embark on fabulous new adventures together. And, yes, leave Jerica together. They need to be adults. Make them the new Joe and Ruth and let them be strong stabilizing forces for their family. This show could use some adults and a whole lot less silliness--and boredom!
AMC is so boring. Please can we get Kendall away from the creepy doctor to have her start investigating Zach's plane crash. Please bring Thorsten Kaye back as Zach Slater to reunite Zach and Kendall Slater.

These statistics were taken from the Department of Justice in 2000:
- Over a five-year stay, a college woman's risk of experiencing a sexual assault or attempted sexual assault is between 1 and 5 and 1 and 4 (Department of Justice, 2000).
- Almost 60% of the completed on-campus rapes took place in the victim's living quarters, 10.3% took place in fraternities (Department of Justice, 2000).
The following statistics were taken from the 2006 National Violence Against Women Survey from the Department of Justice:
- Nationally, 17.6% of surveyed women and 3% of surveyed men were raped at some point in their lifetime.
- 29.4% of female victims and 16.6% of male victims were 18 to 24 years old when they were first raped.
- Rape prevalence statistics by race/ethnicity illustrate no statistically significant differences between minority and non-minority women—19% of minority women and 17.9% of non-minority women reported a rape at some point in their lifetime.
- Among convicted rapists, 99 in 100 are male and 6 in 10 are white (Department of Justice, 1997).

April is Earth Month, with Earth Day on April 22, and Owens Corning, through its roofing and asphalt business, invites homeowners to take the shingle recycling pledge as a way to show their commitment to keep old roofs out of landfills by working with roofing contractors who practice sustainable building practices.
"According to the Northeast Recycling Center, up to 10 million tons of recyclable shingles are removed from the roofs of U.S. homes and buildings annually," said Barry Hornbacher, Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt Shingle Recycling program manager. "By pledging to work with professionals committed to recycling torn-off shingles into pavement, homeowners are helping to ensure their roofing renovation will have less of an environmental impact."
To take the pledge in markets where recycling is available, homeowners simply visit the Owens Corning site to sign up. In addition to connecting with local contractors committed to shingle recycling, everyone who takes the pledge will also receive a free reusable tote bag while supplies last. Homeowners who do not currently have shingle recycling available in their area can show their interest in shingle recycling by filling out a form on the website, which will help Owens Corning Roofing & Asphalt rally support from contractors in their local community.
Established in 2009, in alliance with Heritage Environmental Services and Earth911.com, the shingle recycling program is currently active in 39 markets nationwide. Since its inception, the program has recycled more than 95,000 tons of asphalt shingles, the equivalent of saving 95,000 barrels of oil.
"Today's homeowners are more involved than ever in selecting the materials and building processes used on their home, with a greater emphasis on sustainable solutions," said Hornbacher. "By taking the shingle recycling pledge, homeowners will gain a better understanding about the positive impact recycling shingles has on the environment and learn how they can become more involved in the process in their local community. Homeowners looking for green roofing solutions can now choose recycling to achieve definitive results."
Through a change to Owens Corning Roofing & Asphalt's website, homeowners can search for reputable contractors in their area that already participate in the program. Homeowners can also use the site to connect contractors not already involved in the program with a conveniently located recycling facility by selecting Help Green this Contractor. Additionally, the site features an informational video about shingle recycling, educational resources and tools to help homeowners choose the best roof for their needs and budget once they're ready to replace their roof.
"Owens Corning Roofing & Asphalt is dedicated to providing homeowners with high quality, beautiful roofs, but we are also just as dedicated to keeping as many old shingles out of landfills as possible," said Hornbacher. "We will continue to work with homeowners and contractors to further our commitment to reduce waste and save energy."
