The first allegation—that Mr. Romney "shipped jobs to China and Mexico"—was called "misleading, unfair and untrue" by the Washington Post fact checker and labeled "bunk" in an editorial. The Annenberg Center's FactCheck.org said it "found no evidence to support the claim that Romney...shipped American jobs overseas." Neither has anyone else. But Mr. Obama has not backed down, with his campaign spending more than $30 million to run TV ads on the subject for nearly three months.
The second charge—with its implied suggestion that perhaps Mr. Romney should be in jail rather than running for president—came in a July 12 conference call. Mr. Obama's deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, accused Mr. Romney of "misrepresenting his position at Bain" to the SEC, "which is a felony."

Apple (AAPL)'s shares crossed the $700 mark in trading after the company announced record pre-orders for its iPhone 5. The company announced that it sold 2 million phones on Friday, and that it will succeed in selling almost 60 million iPhone 5s by the end of this year. It all seems to be going well for the biggest company in the world in terms of record breaking sales; however, it doesn't bode all too well for telecom companies like Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T), who have to incur significant costs to provide the new smartphone at a much cheaper price to its customers.
The shares of both telecom operators fell by more than 2% on Friday, after the iPhone 5 pre-orders announcement, which is a worrying sign for these companies that have long been considered safe, defensive stocks. Moreover, Christopher King, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, cut his buy rating on both stocks to hold, on fears that the earlier-than-expected launch of the iPhone 5 will weigh on the companies' margins. Another analyst, Craig Moffett, also recently updated his estimates for the two companies, believing that AT&T's margins could drop by 3.6%, while Verizon could take a hit of 2.7%.
Both companies pay Apple hundreds of dollars to be able to offer the very pricey smartphone to their customers at a cheap price. It is estimated that both companies are currently paying around $450 per phone, while charging only $200 to its customers. This upfront cost is a huge burden on the companies, and it reflects in the contraction of their margins. Even though the new phone has a short selling period for the month of September, the record first few day sales suggest that their margins will take a hit, even in the third quarter. Perhaps that is the reason why Stifel's analyst has cut his 2012 EPS estimate for T to $2.34, down from $2.44. He also expects Verizon to post a six cent drop in EPS from his previous estimate of $2.51. Forecasts for 2013 have also been revised down.
These telecoms have a love-hate relationship with Apple. They keep paying Apple huge sums of money because they are aware that its products attract customers to their networks, and bring in revenues. However, both telecom giants have been pushing for lower subsidies and phones that carry less subsidy costs, since on average they pay more in subsidies for an iPhone than they do for most other smartphones. A prime example of the telecom companies' push towards other phones is when T's CEO said at a JPMorgan investor conference that the company has to keep subsidies under control, one way of doing which was by offering phones from Nokia (NOK) and HTC. Moreover, as pre-orders for the iPhone 5 are increasing at a rapid pace, both AT&T and Verizon are pushing harder for their shared data plans, alongside other measures like raising their upgrade fees for a new smartphone. Under Verizon's linked data plan, any customer who buys the iPhone 5 will have no choice but to buy the company's shared data plan. Moreover, if existing customers don't switch to the new plan, they won't get the new phone at a subsidized price of $200. These measures indicate that the companies are not too happy with the mounting subsidies, and are trying to tap into the data market to drive growth.
The stocks are trading at high valuations, indicating that VZ and T are currently overvalued. On a forward P/E basis, T is currently trading at almost 15 times its earnings, while historically it has traded at 11x. Verizon, on the other hand, is trading at 15.7 times its forward earnings, also higher than its historic average. Other multiples like P/S are also high for both companies (VZ: 1.12x, T: 1.7x), as compared to the industry multiple of 0.85x. We believe that the recent downgrades by various analysts are well founded, and that even though Verizon and AT&T, which have the biggest market share in the U.S. and sell more iPhones than any other telecom, the margins and profitability of both carriers will be hit in the second half of the year. Even though AT&T and Verizon have both gained 24% and 11%, respectively, since the start of the year, we believe they have limited upside potential because of the margin erosion. For investors with a focus only on dividends, both stocks look attractive.

Bakersfield kids make sure 'no butt' is left behind
Kids have collected over 6K cigarette butts

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - One group of students at Freedom Middle School in Rosedale took a stance on tobacco use and made a difference to keep public parks clean from cigarette butt littering.
The 'No Butts Left Behind Project' is designed to raise community awareness about cigarette butts littering and its impact on the environment.
Freedom Middle School student council and Safe Schools Ambassador's members were involved in a project this morning and collected over 600 cigarette butts that were left behind to harm the environment.
"I think that people shouldn't be allowed to smoke in restaurants or in public places like a park, even though they still do," said Student Council Vice President Courtney Kaia. "I think that we should make a difference about it."
Since the project started, the group has collected over 3,600 cigarette butts from three local parks in Bakersfield.

Health plans to gain competitive advantage to win and retain business, better understand consumers and tailor products
SEATTLE, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Array Health, a leading provider of private health insurance exchange technology, today announced the next generation of its Array Spectrum™ Member Marketplace, the consumer-facing module of its private exchange solution.
The new Marketplace features Array SmartFit™ decision support technology designed to simplify and humanize the process of buying benefits. With this solution consumers provide feedback to simple statements to indicate their preferences around financial risk, access to providers, prescription needs and more. The Array SmartFit technology uses proprietary algorithms to suggest plans that best map to each individual's values. In addition to simplifying the decision-making process, health plan details are presented using everyday language, not insurance terms, further facilitating the shopping experience.
"We have completely re-engineered our Member Marketplace to ensure the process of buying health insurance is both simple and personal," said Jonathan Rickert, CEO at Array Health. "With Array SmartFit technology, consumers walk away from the shopping process with a high degree of confidence that they have chosen wisely. This consumer satisfaction directly translates into higher sales and member retention for our health plan customers."
Array's SmartFit decision support tool uses a behavioral analysis approach that contrasts greatly with decision making methodologies used by other private exchange technology providers. One such approach requires consumers to filter health plans by terms that many consumers don't understand, such as "co-insurance" or "out-of-pocket expenses." While another subjects consumers to lengthy questionnaires that in many cases pose irrelevant and impersonal questions. Both of these methodologies can lead to sub-optimal product choice or no choice at all, negatively impacting revenue and customer satisfaction.
Exchanges built with Array Health's next generation retail technology will help health plans differentiate their privately branded online marketplaces from less consumer-friendly offerings and ultimately help them attract and retain more customers.
In addition to providing a breakthrough consumer experience, Array Health's new Member Marketplace provides rich data and analytics capabilities that help insurers understand the needs of different demographic segments. With this insight they can hone product design, optimize their sales process and generate incremental revenue by offering relevant ancillary products.
Highmark Health Services, one of the largest health plans in the U.S., will leverage the next generation Member Marketplace to strengthen its MyBenefits defined contribution health insurance platform.
"We first worked with Array Health to develop MyBenefits because we knew how crucial it was to offer employers more predictability in their health care costs while providing their employees and retirees more options in choosing benefits," said Steven Nelson, senior vice president of strategy, product and marketing at Highmark Health Services. "It is important that MyBenefits continues to evolve so that we can provide the best experience for our members. This next generation Member Marketplace will allow us to continue to ensure that our members are making smart benefit decisions that are right for them."
Highmark Health Services plans to implement the next generation Member Marketplace module before the end of the year.
In a survey report released today by Array Health, survey respondents believe that within the next six months 80 percent of health insurers will participate in private insurance exchanges and more than 70 percent will participate in both private and public exchanges. The survey was conducted in late summer among healthcare executives. For more information about the survey findings read today's press release here.

Economist Eric Fruits on Oregon's jobless rate |
| Print | |
Behind Oregon's jobless rateOregon's unemployment rate is among the highest in the country and is heading toward double digits. If employment does not improve, one out of every 10 Oregonians will be looking for work by the middle of the year. In the state's rural counties, it may get closer to one in six. To be sure, Oregon has been affected by the worldwide recession. A bad economy is sure to bump up unemployment. Business closures, layoffs and downsizing are all going to send a share of the workforce to the unemployment line.
Oregon is different, though. It's different because it has what seems to be a permanently high unemployment rate. In more than half of the past 30 years — through good times and bad — Oregon has ranked in the top 10 states for unemployment. Even through much of the dot-com boom, Oregon's unemployment was among the highest in the country.

Cookbook of the Month April 2013 BOUCHON BAKERY: All recipes
Welcome to Thomas Keller month.
Please post your full-length reviews of all recipes from THE BOUCHON BAKERY here. Please mention the name of the recipe you are reviewing and the page number, if possible, as well as any modifications you made to the recipe.
A reminder that the verbatim copying of recipes to the boards is a violation of the copyright of the original author. Posts with copied recipes will be removed.
I can't wait to see your reviews - happy cooking!
I love this book. That said, I question the mixing times on the yeast recipes. Mix for...20 minutes...30 minutes....etc. I made the doughnuts for breakfast today, and even though I cut the mixing time from 30 minutes to about 8, they were too chewy; not tender like doughnuts should be.
Does something happen at 30 minutes that causing the gluten to magically disappear, and thus I should have kept the mixer going for that long?
The mixing time for the pain de champagne is 20 minutes; I have had great results without mixing it for that long.
I think that the giant commercial mixers move more slowly and that a giant mass of dough develops gluten more slowly - can anyone out there confirm this? If so, commercial recipes need to take this into consideration....
re: sandylc
Bread dough can easily overheat in a mixer resulting in irreparable damage and the character of your bread being destroyed. Have not seen this recipe but always best to knead anything with yeast by hand. Also, it needs to be kneaded until it reaches the optimal elasticity and stretchiness. This can take a while. Try taking a small amount and stretching it. If it can be stretched until it is almost translucent, your good. If it tears, it needs more kneading.
Gluten-Free Brioche Rolls - Bouchon Bakery, p. 335
I'm not sure what to say about these. They look very pretty in the book, that's for sure.
I have celiac disease, so I am always being lured by the promise of a better gluten-free bread. That said, I've been baking gluten-free for 12 years now, so again and again I find that the latest thing in gluten-free breads is not as good as what I can make on my own. Still, this called to me like a siren song.
Feeling that I needed to follow the recipe precisely to give it a fair review, I shelled out $20 for 3 lbs of the "Cup4Cup" flour at Williams-Sonoma. And I followed this recipe to a T, weighing every single ingredient, including the eggs. The recipe came together without a hitch. It really is not that different from other gluten-free bread recipes. The one thing a bit different than this one is that it called for a double rise, where most g.f. recipes call for one (and there are some really idiotic ones out there that use yeast and allow for no rise time at all). Another little oddity in this recipe was that it called for instant yeast, and yet still had you "proof" the yeast (mix with sugar and water before adding to the bread). This is supposed to be unnecessary with instant yeast.
To summarize the procedure, you mix the Cup4Cup flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. You add melted butter, honey, egg and egg yolk to the proofed yeast, then you add that to the flour, mixing on low. The dough, which, like most gluten-free doughs, is more of a batter in consistency, is then mixed on medium speed for 10 minutes. This gets to rise for about an hour or until doubled. Then it is scraped down, stirred, and refrigerated for two hours. The recipe specifies 1/3 cup of dough per muffin cup, but since 1/3 cup is almost a full cup, there is no need to measure. Just divide between 12 cups, filling each almost to the top. Each portion is brushed with egg wash, and then sprinkled with Maldon salt. I skipped the sprinkle of salt (more on that later). It then gets portioned into muffin tins, and allowed to rise again for 40 minutes. Finally, they get baked 15-17 minutes at 350F.
These came out looking very, very much like the photo in the book. So far, so good. But all was not well with these rolls.
I had seen some comments about these online that they are overly salty. I was determined to ignore them and make the recipe as written to see for myself. I tasted the batter before baking, and it was obvious that it was indeed very salty, which is why I skipped that sprinkle of salt on the tip. So out of the oven, cooled and out of the tins, I finally tasted, and yes, way too salty. Now, I kind of understand why they would have done this. Gluten-free flours tend to be bland and flat tasting, so it helps to go heavy on the salt. But there are other ways of adding flavor to gluten-free breads that work better than relying on salt alone, which is what they did here.
Still warm from the pan, these rolls had a very light, cakelike texture. Not my ideal in a brioche, but common in gluten-free baked goods. Not bad, though. Generally, gluten-free breads do not hold well. They are OK warm, but as they cool, they get dry and gritty. Different recipes perform better or worse in this regard. These particular rolls were on the far end of the spectrum... the wrong end. Just during the course of dinner, as they cooled, they became inedibly dry. I will blame this on the mix of flours. They did regain most of their original texture when reheated the next day, so it's not a total loss.
So, to sum it up... I don't think Cup4Cup flour is the answer to anyone's prayers. It doesn't perform any better than other mixes out there, and it doesn't perform as well as what I can put together at home. The Brioche is way, way over salted, using salt alone to make up for a bland flour mix. The texture holds poorly, even for a gluten-free bread, and that's a pretty low bar. On the upside, they are good-looking..
re: MelMM
Thanks for sending such a detailed report. I had my eye on this recipe but hadn't tried it due to wanting to stay far, far away from Williams-Sonoma; I can't get out of there without spending a lot (last time this was compounded by getting a parking ticket because I was in there so long... sigh). Now I think I'd rather give these rolls a miss.
re: MelMM
I have made this recipe three times -- twice as rolls, once baked flat in a 1/4 sheet pan. I used olive oil in lieu of butter, and added lemon zest and rosemary. My experience has been quite different. The bread maintains its moisture for several days stored covered at room temperature. It doesn't have the toothsome-ness of wheat based rolls, but the texture is more similar to "regular" bread than any I have tried. I detect no grittiness. It knocks the offerings at the local GF bakery out of the park. I will be baking this bread on a somewhat regular basis.
OK. So I love this thread for 2 reasons. One, I have this beautiful book and have been dying for an excuse to test drive it. Two, we stopped in Vegas on our move from Pittsburgh, PA to Northern California and we had brunch at Bouchon(took our pastry basket to go with us for our road trip). We are currently in a rental house, waiting for our house to be built, and I had to rifle through numerous boxes of packed cookbooks in the garage(I have an enormous collection) to find my copy of Bouchon Bakery.
The first recipe I chose to make was the Classic Chocolate Chunk Cookie on page 34. It is simple, I had all the ingredients on hand and I make very good choc chip cookies, so I wanted to see how these compared. The recipe is a little fussy for such a straightforward drop cookie but the end result is a delicious version of this timeless classic.
The ingredients are pretty standard: butter, sugar eggs, flour, soda and chocolate(no vanilla here, which I often omit myself). The quantities are very specific, such as 5.9(not 6) oz butter and 3 T plus 2 1/2 tsp eggs. I did weigh everything and measured accurately for this first run, although, confession time, I used 1 whole egg which was 7 grams short of the weight required by the recipe. I was not going to crack a whole egg to obtain 7 grams. I used half each Ghirardelli 60% dark chips and half Milk Choc chips and did not put them in a strainer, since I had no crumbs from chopping chocolate anyway. I followed the mixing procedure outlined in the recipe(except, confession time again) I did not pre-mix the sugars and molasses - just added them to the creamed butter in the mixer bowl) I did pre-mix the dry ingredients and combined all as directed. Chilled the dough for 30 plus minutes and made 8 giant cookie dough balls. These I weighed to make sure they were all the same weight for even baking.
I do not currently have a convection oven, just an electric, smooth top, Whirlpool in this rental house. I checked the oven temp with a thermometer so I knew the oven was @ the requisite 325F. The cookies baked close to 20 minutes - maybe 19 and were gorgeous, not too thick, not too flat, right in between.(I apologize for not getting a photo - did not realize I was going to write this review and now they are gone) I promise to take a photo next time and post it in a follow up.This recipe really does produce a righteous cookie, crispy edges, chewy center and great balance of cookie to chocolate(confession 3: I used a total of one cup of chocolate and recipe calls for just slightly more) and sweet to salty.
Conclusion. I will be making this one again but do not know if it differs enough from my standard recipe to be so fussy(again knowing that I have made a lot of chocolate chip cookies over the years,including professionally) Having said that, I appreciate the attention to detail and the clear instructions, because if you follow the recipe and directions you will end up with one tasty, giant, perfect chocolate chip cookie!
I cannot wait to bake something else out of this book. This is my first Thomas Keller cookbook, and I have my eye on Ad Hoc at Home now. It is in my cart on Amazon, and I just might have to pull the trigger, before the month ends.
re: nadiam1000
Wow, thanks for this very enthusiastic write-up. I will definitely be trying these cookies!
You might want to browse the other threads where we're cooking & baking from Ad Hoc at Home. I got it from the library and I'm glad I did so, because after trying a half-dozen recipes which were mostly a lot of work, I've had only mixed results. But Bouchon Bakery is a book I already own & I really want to delve into it. Looks like cookies are the way to go!
English muffins
I was all set to make the English muffins and then discovered he doesn't use English muffin rings but a fancy cylinder form pan. At $100 for this pan, I am out of the running. Has anyone tried this recipe with either traditional rings or another more commonly owned baking vessel?
re: smtucker
What? Seriously? I think they should offer a lower-cost alternative.
Here is a blogger who used ring molds http://cookinghaven.com/2012/03/29/ho... her results look good!
re: geekmom
Yes, but that is Ruhlman's recipe, not Bouchon Bakery. I have been very happy with the Bread Baker's Apprentice version which uses ring molds.
I am intrigued by the use of a levain in the Bouchon's published recipe but don't want to bother if the stated pans are required. I think I will tweet Ruhlman and see what he has to say. He is pretty good about responding.
Just made the bacon cheddar scones this morning. Couldn't wait to eat them so rather than place them on the cooling rack i ate one. Unfortunately, i was overwhelmed by the cheesy taste. Fast forward and after cooling down, big difference. I've made the palet d'or on several occassions and it was amazing. I wouldn't recommend it for a children's birthday party as it may be a little too rich but otherwise its perfect. I also made the lemon meringue tart, banana muffins, oatmeal raisin cookies, and oh ohs. All were phenomenal. I want to try the croissants next. Pretty much want to try everything except the macarons. Thats the domain of Pierre Hermes.
I made the macarons for Easter. While the ones that worked were delicious, they were fussy. The first batch in the oven were undercooked, as I feared baking them too long and another batch cracked, because I didn't let them sit out long enough before baking (my fault.)
re: nyfashionintern
Well, I made attempt #1 at vanilla macarons on Friday, though this is the first chance I've had to post about it. I was careful to follow the instructions to the letter, and even double-checked some sites online when I got to the point where I had to figure out how much meringue to mix in with the almond paste. The macarons failed to rise properly; instead they flatted and spread out on the parchment and several of them cracked. I think I must have overworked the meringue, or something. I am undaunted and have stocked up on more almond meal & icing sugar.Watch this space!
re: Siegal
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear yours didn't work.
As for trying again... Not *yet*... but I have watched more cooking shows in which macarons are made and I realize some of the things I could do differently. I will try again sometime this winter, when life hands me the luxury of a whole day at home with nothing else pressing to do. :-)
Yesterday, I went to the Bouchon Bakery in BH for the first time. I am still waiting for my copy of the baking book to come into the library, but if what I tasted is any indicator, we are in for quite a treat. I had this poofy pastry filled with a salted carmel custard, no idea what it was called. Incredible.
I plan on going to the sidewalk cafe and the bistro later this month, purely for research purposes, ahem. Will report back.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies p. 32
I have to say, when I first got this cookbook, I was skeptical – I mean, will 144 grams of flour instead of 145 make that big of a difference? But, I went out and bought the digital scale and followed the recipe as is. I thought I would start with cookies since the recipe was pretty straightforward.
I have to say, these were the best oatmeal raisin cookies I've ever made. Crispy outside, chewy inside, perfect amount of cinnamon. I had one, and an hour later, my husband had eaten the rest. So, there's another endorsement, but I may need to make more…
From previous endeavours,
Lemon/Poppy seed, p.80
Banana, p.81
Carrot, p.83Subbed plain yogurt for creme fraiche when unavailable. Didnt make the various toppings suggested. Otherwise, followed directions to the T, which is usually critical to achieve kelleresque results. So yes, you need to weight the egg and everything else. (for the egg, I found it a little easier to blend it than to sieve it through a strainer before).
Admittedly, I'm a Thomas Keller devotee. But these muffins were the best I have ever tasted. Light, airy, deep and lingering taste. Almost cakelike. Only critic would be the slight greasiness of the carrot one, which uses canola oil instead of butter as the fat component. Maybe user error on my part.
Use of cake flour (instead of AP) and the long resting time (overnight up to 36 hours) seems the key. Doubled batches without problem. They also freeze great, shrink wrapped.
I'm sure the rest of the muffin recipes will become part of my repertoire in the near future.
re: sir_jiffy
I made the pumpkin muffins from Bouchon Bakery as posted here: http://tishboyle.blogspot.ca/2012/10/...
Also a success! Moist and flavourful, will be making these again for sure.
re: pikawicca
Followed directions to butter, chill, and coat with sugar my (Kaiser non-stick) bundt pan. After baking (took 20 minutes longer that stated in recipe), standing for 10 minutes, tried to turn it out. The entire bottom of the cake stuck to the pan. It was a horrific mess. Ended up making trifle with the cake pieces. It did have a nice crumb, but overall nothing special.
The recipe is, IMHO, overly fussy, besides; the instructions for adding the eggs are simply bizarre.
gg you are awesome! Thanks so much for posting this. Of all the books, I look forward to this one the most. I just rec'd it on Thursday and everything looks delicious. I resolved to bake more this year so I do hope to attempt something from this book over the course of the month ahead. I look forward to reading of everyone's baking adventures.
re: Breadcrumbs
Yes, me to. I want to see how the recipes turned out for most people as I'm a keen baker and am always on the lookout for new baking cookbooks.
But Thomas Keller scares me. I made a number of recipes from his famous French Laundry cookbook and while most of them turned out tasty enough the amount of effort and time required was exhausting and ultimately negated any joy from eating the creations. To top it, I had more failures from his cookbook despite following recipes to the letter and using the best quality ingredients I could find. Keller is a highly sophisticated chef as is the French Laundry and food from these places are not easily duplicated in a home kitchen.

Tips for Supervisors
Tips for Supervisors on Navigating the Performance Appraisal Process
In preparation of the appraisal, familiarize yourself with all aspects of the process. To properly complete the performance appraisal form, it is essential that you thoroughly understand the duties and requirements of the position held by the employee. Therefore you should review the Position Description, which was distributed at the start of the performance appraisal process. If you do not have a copy, please contact the Office of Human Resources at x5470 or via e-mail at email@example.com.
After reviewing the Position Description and holding an initial performance meeting with the employee, complete an Employee Appraisal form and determine an overall performance rating keeping in mind the following:
- Be objective. Eliminate personal prejudice and feelings of favoritism.
- Consider each performance area independently. Do not assume that excellence in one area implies excellence in all areas or that poor performance in one area implies poor performance in all areas.
- Base your appraisal on observed performance during the appraisal period, not on what is expected in the future.
- Evaluate overall performance throughout the entire appraisal period. Do not base the ratings only on significant successes and failures. These should be considered in context with the total performance.
- Consider various aspects of the employee's performance that you want to discuss with the employee. The appraisal process should serve as a stimulus for better communication between you and the employee.
- Consider your appraisal in terms of the employee's present duties, not in terms of the duties of a future or past description.
The appraisal should reflect your fair judgment of an employee's work performance. Make helpful suggestions and provide adequate instruction. Be prepared to discuss these items.
Determining an Overall Performance Rating
On the last page of the Employee Appraisal Form for both exempt and non-exempt employees, a summary box of the performance ratings selected for each performance area is provided to assist the supervisor in determining an overall performance rating. Determining the final performance rating is challenging because a combination of performance area averaging and subjectivity must be used. Using the summary box provided on the appraisal forms to determine the overall rating should be the first step, but then the supervisor must decide which performance areas evaluated should be weighted more heavily than others depending on the employee's job responsibilities. Depending on the performance ratings of the most important performance areas, the overall performance rating may be adjusted.

Turns out she does. She might have huge tits, but she loves sucking cock – and she looks smoking hot when she's got cock in her mouth!

He kept on shoving his cock down deeper and deeper each time…
And she could do nothing but take it all down!
Hot Sweaty Sexy Day
Lazing around on a hot Sunday afternoon with no air conditioning was horrible. The hotter it got the more clothes Jenny took off.. Until she was in her panties!
He was hot and hard just watching her laying there, and she noticed his cock was growing larger by the moment. It was time for some action! She took his cock out and started to stroke him off…
Watching his cock grow in her hand just made her hotter and hornier and the more she did it, the wetter her pussy got!
She wanted to fuck but she was so horny she was afraid she was going to explode… She started off slow, mounting him, and slowly let his cock ride deeper inside of her each time.. Until she was ready to cum – when she dropped her entire ass right on his hard cock!

Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?

Tell me, would we? could we? NO!

Establishing a Color Scheme
Colors generate emotions; language is full of pertinent examples. People are said to be green with envy or they feel blue after suffering a disappointment. Colors have a psychological impact, so one of your first choices should be to choose colors that will help establish the mood you want for a room.
Red is bold and energetic -- perfect for a room designated for activity, such as a family room or recreation space. It draws the eye toward it and makes an excellent accent.
Blue and green are passive and restful, quiet and receding, formal and fresh. Above all, they're easy on the eyes, especially in lighter tints. That makes them a good choice for rooms, like bedrooms, designed for relaxation and sleep.
Yellow and orange are warm and cheerful. They can bring the feeling of sunshine to a space, especially a room that is shaded or has small window areas. Remember that these descriptions are general and your choices will seldom be limited to the pure hues of any color. You will more likely think about ranges of colors that could establish the kind of atmosphere you want for the room.
Focal points or backdrops?Walls are a good place to start color selection because they are the largest area in a room. They can be the dominant design element or serve as a backdrop for the rest of the room. The choice will affect other decorating decisions.
If you want focal-point walls, pick their color first, then design the room around it. The "emotions" of a color are important, but also consider the size of the room and how much light it receives. Light colors are generally best in a dimly lit room, and dark tones work well in a well-lighted room. To make it easy, choose your favorite color and build a theme around it with contrasts, complements, and variations of intensity.
For backdrop walls, select the other major decorative elements first, including rugs and furniture. Then select a wall color that balances and complements these colors and lets them take center stage. It's a lot easier to match a paint color to a rug or carpet than to find a carpet that matches a particular paint color. A good place to start is with a tint or shade of another color in the room or a complement of the dominant color.
Living with colors you loveIf you have trouble deciding where to start when selecting colors, there's a simple solution -- pick a color you love as a starting point.
Selecting a favorite color is the least complicated method for choosing colors for a decorating project. You can pick almost anything -- a pillow, a painting, a comfortable chair, a piece of clothing -- with colors that are attractive to you.
You don't need to give it a lot of thought: Why the object appeals to you really doesn't matter. What matters is that there's something about its color that you like or that makes you feel good.
Finding this favorite color makes the rest of your color selection easier because it gives you a reference point on the color wheel. From there you can consider the combinations. The color scheme you create this way will truly reflect your taste and not someone else's.
Select color chips that fit into the scheme at your home center. Or use any of the paint manufacturers' websites that feature digital color selection aids.
You can then use the colors in your palette throughout the house as you select paint colors, furnishings, and accessories.
Making connectionsWhile it's important to create unities of style within each room, each room should feel like it's part of a consistent design throughout the house. Color is an effective tool for connecting rooms, especially in open-space floor plans.
For example, painting the molding throughout an open-space home the same color ties adjacent spaces together, while their different floor and wall coverings maintain the individuality of each room. Employing the same technique with built-in bookcases and cabinets in different rooms integrates the rooms, even though they are used for entirely different functions. Another way to achieve a cohesive design is to use different amounts of the same tone in different rooms or vary the tones of one color. Even though each tone is different, the fact that they originate from the same base will create a subtle unity -- a definite, even if unconscious, effect.
Quick solutions with colorIf you get stuck on the road to developing your color scheme, some simple steps may help get you going again.
Consider active colors such as yellow, orange, and red for rooms designated for social or entertainment activities. Yellows can jump-start your creativity, which is good for home offices and kitchens. Passive colors, members of the cool collection -- blue, green, and purple -- go where rest and rejuvenation are important, in bathrooms and bedrooms. Neutral colors bridge other colors. Dark neutrals tone them down, while whites make them stronger.
Monochromatic color schemes create a calm, unruffled appearance. And they're easy to create; all you have to do is to come up with variants of the same color that mix pleasingly with one another. You'll need some contrast, but use it carefully. Different textures and fabric patterns can work as accents too.
Although the range of colors is endless, you need only two or three, with one of those an accent color that is used sparingly. If you're working with a monochromatic arrangement with three tones, try a really dark variation for the accent. For a complementary scheme, pick an accent from the opposite side of the color wheel. And if you've decided to paint the walls as a backdrop, select an accent color that goes with the furnishings.
On the other hand, if you're painting with completely different colors, you risk the possibility of jarring contrasts. To protect yourself from this color shock, use colors of the same intensity. Most colors will work well together when they have the same or similar values.
What about white?This all-time favorite has some drawbacks. First, manufacturers make an astounding array of whites, all different from one another. Some have noticeable color casts; make sure the one you've chosen goes with the other colors in the room.
Second, almost any white can dramatically alter the way other nearby colors look, a consequence you may not discover until after the paint has dried. Avoid this pitfall by using test boards for all your colors.
I have a home office with white french doors enter both sides of office and i want to paint the walls what is a good color? The dinning room is next ot it and it is a deep red with oak furiture and white crown molding. Hope you can help, I want it to be warm cuz i work from home everyday.
1/12/2011 02:53:19 PM Report Abuselmtaylor742 - If I were picking a wall to accentuate with a different color, I would pick the wall most noticable when entering the room, or the wall that serves as the backdrop to the most important piece of furniture in the room. For example, the wall that your bed is up against in the bedroom. Or the wall in the dining room that the hutch is against. I am not a decorator or anything, but the seems the most logical place to create an accent wall. Hope this helps.

She doesn't know what she wants, but she wants it now!
Internet Radio/Subscription Services
I know I can't be the only one around here that uses one of these. Discuss them, rate them, complain about them etc....
I have Music Match. It's.... okay. At first it was this whole new world of music at my finger tips & I was naively excited about the possibilities. When I first started using the program you could listen to their Internet Radio for an unlimited time, now you can only listen for an hour. I have a paid subscription, so that's neither here nor there for me anymore. I've experienced a lot of problems with the software becoming corrupted & from the google searches I've done several people have experienced the same issues. Still, I stick with it because of its On Demand service. With On Demand I can listen to virtually whatever I want whenever I want. Of course, it all depends on the artist, there are some that don't permit their tracks to be used for On Demand listening. The service allows me to save my favorite tracks in my music library & create playlists out of them. Also, I can mix On Demand tracks with mp3 files on my computer to create playlists. Recently Music Match added an mp3 player feature that allows you to organize the music on your portable device through Music Match. I have yet to use this feature because I organize my Zen through my Creative Software. That being said, lately I've had a few problems with their On Demand service. Some tracks that should load don't & some playlists just disappear off my playlist manager or don't work when I log in on a different computer. Music Match's tech support is terrible, btw. Which brings me to part of the reason why I started this thread. When MM works, it's fabulous & I adore it. But lately, it's been annoying, so if anyone can tell me about another service that has all of the above mentioned things without the problems, let me know. |

I sometimes listen to the free radio on iTunes. I don't like the constant commercials telling me to subscribe, but I hear a lot of good music on them.
Plays well with others. |

It's no longer just Whole Foods shoppers seeking out certified, sustainable seafood.
Increasingly, those of us who shop the big-box retailers including Costco, Target and Walmart are finding a blue label on seafood packages. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) label signifies that the seafood comes from a fishery that's met a rigorous set of standards aimed at promoting responsible, sustainable catches.

The individuals who participated in the first Inquisition 800 years ago kept detailed records of their activities. Vast archival collections at the Vatican, in France and in Spain contain accounts of torture victims' cries, descriptions of funeral pyres and even meticulous financial records about the price of torture equipment.
"[There are] expense accounts [for things] like how much did the rope cost to tie the hands of the person you burnt at the stake," says writer Cullen Murphy. "The people who were doing interrogations were meticulous."

The past two years have been good for pecans — so good, in fact, that there's been a spike in pecan theft from California to Georgia. And it's not people swiping a few nuts from a tree in someone else's backyard, but theft in amounts that could land someone in jail.
Greg Daviet's century-old family farm has harvested pecans in Las Cruces, New Mexico, since 1965. This year, Daviet tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz, an increase in demand from Europe, the Middle East and India has led to a price hike, with China as the top importer.
Saying that "recent events" have raised questions, but that "there is no reason that the legitimate issues raised by many about this bill cannot be resolved," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced that there won't be a vote in his chamber next Tuesday on the Protect IP Act (PIPA).
That's the Senate's version of controversial legislation that supporters say would cut down on Internet piracy — but that opponents say would amount to censorship.

Good grief.
And people wonder why there is a drive for municipal school districts.
Superintendent Aitken's leadership strenth is in his administrative skills. He is low profile and low key on purpose. He heads a strong organization that doesn't need pep rallies nor photo ops to function. He shows others how to succeed and achieve their goals. Unless the new board is going to radically change the whole school system, I don't see the need for a charismatic leader. We already have the quality personnel we need on the payroll.

On the surface of it, taking pictures is all about finding a way to show other people how you see the world. Often times, I just want the picture to reflect what I really saw – the framing, the light, whatever.
Other times, seeing a scene through a new light reflects something new. These Through the Viewfinder pictures were all about a new way of seeing. I like any sort of new framing device.
As it so happens there are a bunch of those big metal telescopes (kinda like this one) across the street from my work, overlooking Elliott Bay. I was kinda curious if I could shoot through them. Turns out I can.

The Migration Blog celebrates first anniversary!
We'd like to commemorate the first anniversary of the Migration Blog (previously known as the Skilled Migration Blog). A big thank you to all our readers who continue to engage with us.
Since June last year, the blog has posted 74 articles with a variety of content, including skilled migration, family and student visas.
The most successful part of this journey was introducing comments that allowed you to engage and ask questions. We've had over 1000 comments since February 2012.
Our audience is diverse and large. We've had approximately 188 000 visits and more than 300 000 page views. Visitors have come from around 180 countries. About 50 per cent are referred from other websites, and in the past three months, we have seen more than 60 per cent arrive through search engines. This is positive as it shows the blog is becoming a place where information and engagement is commonplace, easy to navigate and most importantly, easy to find.
Thank you again for being involved over the past year and hopefully we will continue to hear from you.
As always, we encourage you to ask questions about our policy and programs as well as share the blog with your friends and colleagues.
Congratulation Team….Thanks a lot for your wonderful blog, You people are really doing great job…Many confusions are cleared by your post.
All the best
Congratulations guys for celebrating your 1st year anniversary!!! Keep up the good work and we look forward to reading more blogs regarding immigration matters.
Happy birthday to The Migration Blog! Many thanks to all the staff who wrote these informative posts and answered my questions in the posts.
Congratulations guys! Keep up the good work.
Congrats and thanks for all the efforts!
Great work guys. An exceptional platform for a diverse range of information.
Kudos to all of you. Keep up the good work.
Best wishes!
Great Job Guys, You have been providing valuable information without any obligations
Hi Migration blog Team,
Really you guys are doing a great job…..otherwise for such quality info we need to go to agents but Thanks to you all as Agent Exploitation rate must have gone down because of U.
I need some clarification:
1. I applied for EOI and it allows me to put in my IELTS results even if it is 36 months (3 years) old…..is it a mistake because IELTS is valid only for 2 years??
2. If it is okay then why states still require IELTS with 2 years validity???
3. DIAC removed threshold requirement of 12months work experience in last 24 months……but states still have it…..WHY???
It would be great if you reply to these Qs and clarify them..
Thanks for your comment Tayyab. We appreciate your feedback.
With respect to your questions, State or Territory governments may have their own requirements and conduct their own assessment of your claims before they nominate you. These requirements are set by each state or territory government. So for example, while the Immigration Department requires 24 months validity, some states or territories may require 36 months validity. This is the same with regard to recent work experience.
It is the decision of the state or territory governments who they choose to nominate based on these requirements. So while visa requirements are set by the department, other requirements are set by the State and Territory Governments.
Hello,Here is my question. whilst the VETTASSE is responsible for assessing the qualification of people holding the bachelor of physical education, it is only responsible for some limited countries and the university of Victoria is responsible for citizens of Iran. i am an Iranian citizen who holds bachelor of physical education( unit group of 4523), would you mind telling me which organization is responsible for assessing my skills and qualifications? thank you very much
what about the first round of invitations? will all priority groups get the invitation or the top 2 or 3 (group 1-3) will get it in the first round?
Also, since EOI gives applicants the freedom to apply for multiple visas, if one has applied for 2 or more categories, will he get 2 or more invitations?
Congrats first of all for the blog's first anniversary. Please keep up the good work your team is putting up through the blog.
I have a question on SkillSelect. I am not able to post this query under any of the posts on SkillSelect as the comments are closed.
Certain State Sponsorship Programs like South Australia mentions in their site that the applicant is supposed to select only South Australia under the 190 visa option to be processed under their program. If an applicant submits multiple EOIs, will it disqualify him in any way to get his visa?
Your timely response is highly appreciated.
Hi guys.
This site is proving to be very useful with a lot of my queries.
One question I do have though is with the EOI. I'm going to try to get my qualification approved by one of the authorities as part of the Skills Assessmentbut will this include the need for references from my employer on work experience also?
Thanks in advance
Great work, guys. Congratulations and many thanks.
Sorry to ask a question here:
I submitted an EOI on 01.07.12 and I claimed the partner skill point because it only requires IELTS, age and skill assessment on same SOL. But Today I found the document in Skillselect that indicates the evidence you need to submit includes 6 month study or work experience, however in the following paragraph it didn't say we have to meet those requirements. Could I ask a clarification for this? If so, I have to move this point claim, right?Thank you so much.
Hi, Miranda. Thank you for your quick response and clarification. Now I can have a relief. Thanks again and have a good day.
