One of the most beloved musicals of all them, "Oliver!" is based on the Charles Dickens' tale of "Oliver Twist." From the moment the orphan boy asks, "Please sir, may I have some more?" the audience is swept into his moving "rags to riches" story.
Genoa Elementary students Nicke Hemmert and Andrew Szepiela will share the role of Oliver Twist. They will be joined on stage by a cast of almost 60 high school students, including Carlos Baez (Fagin), Mackenzie Baumhower (Nancy), Drew Keenan (Bill Sykes), Brennen Williams (Mr. Bumble), Serena Parlette (Widow Corney), Emanuel Aranda (The Artful Dodger), Caitlin Dazley (Bet) and Clay Parlette (Mr. Bownlow). Adding to the performance will be the orphan/pickpocket chorus consisting of an addition 30 elementary and middle school students.
Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students/senior citizens and are available from any cast member or by calling Genoa Schools at 419-855-7741, ext. 31315 (Middle School Library) or ext. 41203 (Elementary Office).
Tickets will be available March 11,12,14,18 and 19 from 10 a.m. to noon at the high school and 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the elementary school.
The event will include a variety of pancakes, including old-fashioned, blueberry, chocolate chip and potato pancakes, along with French toast, low-carb and vegetarian options.
The cost is simply a donation of any amount at the door. Donations raised will benefit Humane Ohio, a local non-profit organization that runs a pet food bank and a low-cost spay/neuter clinic.
"As a non-profit organization, Humane Ohio is funded solely on fundraisers, private donations and grants," according to Humane Ohio's Marketing Director, Jill Borkowski. "Proceeds from events like this allow us to off-set the true, high cost of spay/neuter procedures so we can keep our prices low, and offer programs like the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank.

"Less is more. Simple Life"
Understanding that less is better. We buy so much and waste so much money, energy on things we don't need.
Understanding that we can live with less and that by doing so we get rid of a lot of stress it causes.
I did then listened again.
We should all do this. Live with less. Be more in present and use what we need and not waste so much.
"Zen do we need to say more..."
Yes, and I have.
We really need to take these Zen habits and make them part of every day life.
WE all stress and go about life so serious and well we need to slow down.
Listen and listen again. I now listened to this book 4 times each time I get something new.

Effects of Group Membership and Size Distribution within a Group on Growth Rates of Juvenile Sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria

Group membership can confer both advantages and disadvantages to growth in juvenile fishes. The balance between costs and benefits of social interactions can shift depending on such factors as the composition of the group (density and size disparity) and the availability of food. We examined the effect of these factors on absolute growth and growth depensation in juvenile sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria. Increasing density and increasing size disparity had little influence on absolute growth rates of juvenile sablefish and the effects of these social factors were not modified by ration level. In experiments testing density effects, absolute growth did not differ among groups of 1, 3, or 10 fish held at high rations, but at low rations single fish exhibited a different pattern of size-dependent growth compared to fish in groups. In experiments testing disparity effects, absolute growth did not differ between groups with an even size distribution and groups with a mixed size distribution. The relative size of an individual within a group, i.e., small, medium, or large, also did not modify growth, despite evidence of higher chasing behavior in mixed size distributions. Although the growth of small fish was not diminished in the presence of large fish, negative impacts of size disparity were expressed in high levels of cannibalism, which occurred in 42% of groups with a mixed size distribution. Significant growth depensation over time occurred in the density experiment, but not in the size disparity experiment, possibly due to the shorter duration of the latter experiment. We suggest that growth depensation was generated by individual variability in growth capacity rather than social effects on growth rates. Schooling behavior, measured by group cohesion indices, increased with fish size and was higher in groups with an even vs. a mixed size distribution. These results for sablefish are consistent with other schooling species in which growth variability is determined by exploitative competition and/or genetic variability in growth capacity rather than interference competition.

Help. Dont know what to do. Or plead etc
I think it is best practices to recommend that anyone charged with a criminal offense have qualified legal counsel represent them in court to make sure explore all options are thoroughly explored More often than not, an experienced attorney will be able to negotiate a more favorable outcome than someone who is unrepresented. Not being adjudicated guilty may not necessarily be the best outcome. For example, if the stop was illegal, the case could be thrown out of court.
It is always a good idea to have an attorney in a criminal case especially. What if something occurred that you don't know about while that person was driving with a suspended license - you might ultimately have additional liability under civil law for those actions. You at least owe it to yourself to go talk to a criminal defense attorney about your situation.

Hopping Mappy (ホッピングマッピー Hoppingu Mappī?) is an arcade game which was released by Namco in 1986. It runs on Namco System 86 hardware, and, as the name suggests, it is the sequel to Mappy, which was released three years earlier. It is also the first game from Namco to allow scores not ending in "0"; others are Bakutotsu Kijūtei, Metal Hawk, Golly! Ghost!, Bubble Trouble: Golly! Ghost! 2, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, and Emeraldia. Phelios also gives the illusion of allowing these types of scores, but doesn't. The game was ported to the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on June 2, 2009.
In Hopping Mappy players control the Micro Police mouse, Mappy, as he bounces on a pogo stick to run circles around pink cats, called Meowkies, who patrol either vertically or horizontally. There is also Nyamco, a cat who patrols in a zigzag pattern, but he needs to take occasional breaks. There are eight treasures that a player must grab to complete a round, except on the bonus round where the player will just want to collect all the balloons that he can. The main intrigue here is getting past a blockade of Meowkies. The player controls are simple - he can bounce in any of the four directions, the only places he can land are the centres of the checkerboard squares (making for very few locations overall), and he will move at the same speed as the cats. If the player pushes the accelerator button and runs around, he will go twice as fast. When the cats have sped up (after a "Hurry Up" warning has appeared) they will match Mappy's accelerated speed.
- Mappy: This Micro Police mouse is the protagonist of the game. He starts in the bottom-left corner of each garden, and must recover all the items that were stolen by Nyamco and his Meowky henchmen before he can proceed to the next. He must avoid contact with any of the cats unless they are flashing after grabbing a red or yellow heart, along with the Gosenzo if he takes too long over a round after the "Hurry Up" warning has appeared. If they catch him, he will be knocked off his pogo stick and lose one life.
- Nyamco: This fat red cat always starts four squares to the right of Mappy in each garden. He will bounce up to the top of the garden, then to the left, then down to the bottom of the garden, then to the left again before bouncing back to the right again once he has reached the edge of the garden. Occasionally he will fall over, which will allow the player to jump on him for 100 extra points - but he may wish to do this from behind in case he is deciding to get up. He will bounce fifteen squares before he falls over, and after eight Meowky bounces he will start bouncing again.
- Meowkies: There may be up to fifteen of these small pink cats in any garden. They will bounce either vertically or horizontally across the gardens, and will start bouncing the other way once they have reached the edge of a garden. When they regenerate after being killed by Mappy when he has grabbed a red or yellow heart, their original pattern for that round will be disrupted.
- Gosenzo: As in the original game, this fearsome ancestral cat-coin (which, again, bears the image of Nyamco's face, but is now coloured blue instead of green) will appear if the player takes too long over a round after the "Hurry Up" warning has appeared. It cannot be killed, even after Mappy has collected a red or yellow heart.
As in the original Mappy, there are five different types of treasures: Fox masks (Kitsune) (10 points), Lucky Cat Statues (Maneki Neko) (20 points), Daruma (30 points), Snowmen (40 points), and Box (0 points first time, 50 points second time). The player gets a multiplier that starts at 1 and increases when he either jumps on the box that appears for the second time or he picks up two of the same treasure consecutively (the box does not count as an actual treasure, but picking it up gives the player an extra multiplier). The best multiplier is 6, and the player's total points can thus be 10 + 10 x 2 + 20 + 20 x 3 + 30 + 30 x 4 + 50 x 5 + 40 + 40 x 6 = 790. The last is switched, because the player cannot save the box for last. If the player gets killed before he collects the pair of items required to make the box appear, it will still appear even with multipliers reset (Round 1 and every fourth round thereafter - Kitsune, Round 2 and every fourth round thereafter - Maneki Neko and Round 3 and every fourth round thereafter - Daruma). But, if the box should appear and the player is unfortunate enough to get caught, it will disappear for that round.
What's in the Box[edit]
- Red diamond: When the player presses the acceleration button while the numbers are scrolling, he will get a random three-figure value added to his score.
- Red heart: All the cats on the round will start flashing to indicate that they are vulnerable for a short period of time. The player will get the same amount of points for killing Nyamco or a Moewky. The first cat is worth 10 points, the second cat is worth 20 points, the third cat is worth 40 points, the fourth cat is worth 80 points, the fifth cat is 160 points, the sixth cat is worth 320 points, the seventh cat is worth 640 points and all cats after that are worth 765 (Namco's goroawase number) points. They will then regenerate.
- Yellow diamond: When the player presses the acceleration button while the numbers are scrolling, he will get a random two-figure value added to his score.
- Yellow heart: All the Mewkies on the round will start flashing to indicate that they are vulnerable for a short period of time (it does not affect Nyamco).
- Blue ball: This one will slow down all the cats on the round for a short period of time.
- Purple ball: This one will slow down all the Mewkies on the round for a short period of time (again, it does not affect Nyamco).
- Blue hourglass: This one will freeze all the cats on the round for a short period of time. Mappy can safely pass through them, and they'll flash blue when the effect is about to wear off.
- Pink hourglass: This one will freeze all the Mewkies on the round for a short period of time. Mappy can safely pass through them, and they'll flash blue when effect is about to wear off (once again, it does not affect Nyamco).
- M-A-P-P-Y: These letters will appear instead of the standard powerups on the third round. If the player manages to collect them all, he will receive an extra life (for the only time in the game).
Bonus round points[edit]
Round 4 and every fourth round thereafter are bonus rounds - where the player will have to continuously bounce to the right while holding down the acceleration button (so that he does not scroll off the screen, which will immediately end the round). He will receive 11 points for every red balloon he collects and 500 for every blue (Nyamco) balloon he collects. Once the music ends, the points will be tabulated.

Since its founding in 1995, Print Management Partners has made client relationships a priority. However, as the company expanded its business to manage clients' whole publishing operations, Print Management Partners found itself constrained by its old, inflexible ERP system. The company sought a new solution that would help it respond to changing customer requirements quickly. Print Management Partners chose Microsoft Dynamics NAV because of its superior technical flexibility, advantageous pricing terms for its e-commerce add-in, and the helpful approach of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Solution Systems. With Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Print Management Partners has an agile solution that supports its unique print distribution operations. In addition, the company benefits from an integrated, real-time system that ensures accurate data to help employees make better decisions faster.
Already one of the largest print distributors in the midwestern United States, Print Management Partners is rapidly growing its base of satisfied customers that trust the company to manage their print and digital-publishing workflows. Print Management Partners was founded in 1995 as an employee-owned firm with an emphasis on customer service. Today, the company operates seven offices and offers a range of industry-specific services.
"Our goal is to develop long-term business relationships where our customers trust us to expertly handle the printing, distribution, and management of business communications," explains James O'Brien, President of Print Management Partners. "We want our customers to say, 'Print Management Partners is the easiest company to do business with.'"
Print Management Partners serves many Fortune 1000 clients who outsource their entire design, print, and distribution process to Print Management Partners and expect the print distributor to pay close attention to their unique requirements. "The ability to respond quickly to customer requests—to be able to say, 'Yes, we can do that,' and then have it implemented the next day—was very important to us," says O'Brien. "However, the industry-specific ERP system that we previously used made it difficult to accommodate some of our customers' needs."
Since its founding, Print Management Partners had used two different enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems specifically designed for the print distribution industry. However, as the company grew in scope and scale, it found that its old system was unable to handle changing business requirements, especially in terms of collaborating with customers and suppliers.
"We outgrew the capabilities of our old system," explains O'Brien. "And, we relied on the vendor to make changes—sometimes they could make those changes, and sometimes they could not. What was worse was that sometimes the changes didn't meet our expectations, causing further delays. Because of this, it was extremely difficult to do things like change the look and feel of our e-commerce component, integrate with a customer's ERP system, or even compile data into a single report."
To improve its responsiveness to customer demands, Print Management Partners sought a new ERP solution that would give the company an advantage over competitors. "Ideally, your ERP system is going to help and not hinder whatever it is you're trying to accomplish," says O'Brien. "We were looking for something that offered the right combination of functionality, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness."
Print Management Partners evaluated systems targeted at the print distribution industry, as well as those for printers, but found the same limited flexibility that plagued its previous systems. Searching for a solution with greater flexibility, Print Management Partners looked into general ERP solutions from Microsoft, NetSuite, Sage, and SAP and eventually narrowed the field down to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and SAP Business One.
"After considering our options, we chose Microsoft Dynamics NAV over competing offerings for three reasons: superior technical flexibility, the partner ecosystem, and a long-term cost advantage," says O'Brien. Although roughly equal in terms of upfront costs, Microsoft Dynamics NAV offered lower ongoing costs due to the advantageous pricing terms in the TradePoint e-commerce add-in. Print Management Partners relies on its e-commerce channel for a significant portion of its business, and the TradePoint e-commerce add-in for Microsoft Dynamics NAV offered better pricing terms than the e-commerce solution that accompanied the competing offering.
In addition, Print Management Partners felt confident in the number and quality of Microsoft Certified Partners and independent software vendor solutions available for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. To customize and implement the solution, Print Management Partners teamed up with Solution Systems, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and member of the 2010 President's Club for Microsoft Dynamics based just outside of Chicago. "With our previous industry-focused solution, we relied on the vendor to provide support and sometimes they couldn't accommodate our needs," says O'Brien. "So we were quite impressed by the breadth and depth of the partner ecosystem surrounding Microsoft Dynamics NAV."
Print Management Partners and Solution Systems implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV over a nine-month period, migrating data from the old systems into the new solution and configuring or enhancing it to accommodate unique business needs. Enhancements include:
Customizable e-commerce interfaces that let account managers at Print Management Partners customize the e-commerce interface for individual users. Managers can control the appearance and information that users see when they log on to the e-commerce site.
Customer-owned and company owned inventory handled at Print Management Partners's many storage facilities.
Fields for tracking product features specific to the print industry. For example, envelope orders have more than 40 variables such as size, color, flap type, and window options.
Job-costing functionality that managers use to calculate profit margins on each order.
Roughly 45 employees at seven offices use the solution as part of their daily routine and another 30 employees log on to the system occasionally.
When deploying the new solution, O'Brien and the implementation team at Print Management Partners asked Solution Systems to replicate the functionality of their previous systems in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. "Our primary concern was to keep processes familiar for people before we started looking at opportunities for efficiency," says O'Brien.
Once the solution was in place, Print Management Partners targeted the credit rebill process for improvement. Because customer orders frequently change in terms of price and other factors even after an order is initiated, employees at Print Management Partners spend a significant amount of effort adjusting the order in the financial management system. To solve this, Print Management Partners configured Microsoft Dynamics NAV so that credit rebills trigger at a later point in the workflow.
Print Management Partners's new solution records data to the general ledger in real time instead of in a batch process, which was the case with the old system. Before, employees would occasionally post accounting entries late or inconsistently, requiring the accounting team to check and recheck accounts for accuracy on a daily basis. "We had built a number of checks and balances into our financial accounting process to compensate for potential errors due to batch processing in the system," explains O'Brien. "The financial controls in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are such that whatever is recorded in our general ledger is immediately reflected in our reports for sales, costs, and inventory, and vice versa."
By taking advantage of the integration functionality in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Print Management Partners collaborates with clients and suppliers by sharing real-time information about order status and tracking. "We spend a lot less time on the phone and sending faxes," explains O'Brien. "Our clients and suppliers can see information that is pertinent to their relationship with us. It's convenient for them and helps us to avoid errors due to miscommunication."
Print Management Partners also uses Microsoft Dynamics NAV to track Six Sigma process methodology at the behest of a large Fortune 100 client. "One of our largest clients invited us to become one of their suppliers that adhere to Six Sigma processes," says O'Brien. "We configured Microsoft Dynamics NAV to measure and report on our performance against that process. Now, we use the same measuring and reporting capabilities for several other clients."
Print Management Partners is currently implementing an upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2. "As a midsize company that chooses its projects judiciously, we are very optimistic about the possibilities with the upgrade," says O'Brien. "We like the philosophy behind the RoleTailored interfaces that make the solution easier to use. We also appreciate the enhanced flexibility that lets us respond to new requests even faster and enhanced security features that help us comply with Payment Card Industry data security standards."
By replacing its inflexible, niche ERP system with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Print Management Partners gained a world-class solution that helps the company deliver superior service, eliminate inefficient financial management processes, and open up opportunities for international expansion. O'Brien says the benefits of implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV outweighed the cost. "No doubt, implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV was a significant investment for our company, but one that has proven absolutely worth every penny," says O'Brien. "And, for us, the solution came at a long-term cost advantage over the competing product."
Print Management Partners uses Microsoft Dynamics NAV to respond quickly to customer requests, strengthening the company's advantage over competitors. Compared to the previous systems, employees today spend 50 percent less time processing customer orders. "Now, our ERP solution is truly an asset to the company that helps us nurture the types of long-term customer relationships that we strive for," says O'Brien. "Though we're a midsize company, Microsoft Dynamics NAV empowers us to provide the world-class service that our Fortune 1000 clients expect of us."
As an example, O'Brien cites how Print Management Partners used Microsoft Dynamics NAV to track and report on its Six Sigma performance. "By using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we can see that our rate of accurately billed, on-time shipments meets Six Sigma standards," says O'Brien. "That means we have less than three errors in every million transactions. Achieving those measures is great, but what's even better is when we can prove that we're doing it. These reports have definitely strengthened our relationship with those important customers."
With help from Solution Systems, Print Management Partners configured Microsoft Dynamics NAV so that it can make changes to the solution without the help of software programmers, which the company was required to do with its previous ERP system. "Solution Systems set up the solution so that our managers can easily change an e-commerce interface, for example," says O'Brien. "We avoid relying on expensive consultants or an overextended software vendor to implement changes. Now, we get things done faster and with better results."
Employees at Print Management Partners can make more informed decisions based on information from Microsoft Dynamics NAV. "The new solution enables confident decision making," explains O'Brien. "Unlike our old system, there is very little chance that people can accidentally post an entry incorrectly. As soon as we started using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we saw an immediate difference. At first, we still did the checks, but we soon found that was unnecessary. And, we can easily trace back information to the transaction level if we need to verify something. Everything is integrated and available in real time throughout the company."
O'Brien notes that Print Management Partners no longer requires daily transaction audits to verify that entries were posted correctly. That task required the equivalent of one full-time employee each year, which means that the financial accounting team at the company can now spend more time on tasks that add value.
One of Print Management Partners's largest clients recently asked the company to consider providing its services internationally. "We are looking at the possibility of expanding our business in other countries," says O'Brien. "With the global capabilities, such as multiple options for languages, currencies, and taxes, in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we have a comprehensive solution that can support expansion."
One of the largest print distributors in the midwestern United States, Print Management Partners handles all aspects of print and digital publishing for its clients.
Print Management Partners could not easily adjust processes or e-commerce operations because the enterprise resource planning system it used was difficult to change, preventing the company from responding quickly to customer requests.
After examining several options, Print Management Partners implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV with help from Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Solution Systems.

November 20, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – Tuesday night cities across the United States took steps to strengthen police and community partnerships as a part of National Night Out.
Police say it's about building relationships and trust with members of the community.
For kids, it's a chance to get free pizza and hot dogs, but it's also a way for cops to show they're not the bad guys in their neighborhoods.
"The police can get to know them," parent David Knox said. "You don't have to go the crime route, you don't have to go the negative route, you can be a kid and be cool."
Deanna McKinney's teenage son Tymel was shot and killed in April.
She spoke to crowds Tuesday night, preaching that a stand must be taken.
"We need to save our children and put away the childish things and do what we have to do to raise our kids properly so it doesn't happen to someone else," she said while at Orchard Manor.
McKinney said communities have to come together like they did Tuesday night all the time and not just once a year.
Police were scheduled to appear at 9 locations in Charleston as part of the event.
The event has been going on nationally more than 30 years. It was put together by the National Association of Neighborhood Watches.

|Gay Zoo
|Beast Teen
|Im new to this site (except for lurking), but I have read a lot of girls and guys stories. Im not a great writer and I am not known for my tact, either. So, being me, I will just cut to the chase.After my divorce from Ed, I did the bar scene, had a few dates and about half a dozen one night stands. But, after a while, that got old. I tried on-line date services and only ended up meeting more losers. Im not saying that all guys are bad, just the ones I seem to meet.For a while it was just me and Ernie (our/my chocolate lab). Id sit around in the evening, sipping wine and reading romance novels. They provided me with a safe way to get my jollies, if you know what I mean. As time went by I found myself gravitating toward racier romance novels. They helped a bit for a while, too (helped me get hot and wet and get myself off, that is). I even order a vibrator on line. Then I ordered another one, and now I own five. They Really helped, for a while. Now, dont get me wrong. I could have dates. Even though Im not in my thirties anymore, most guys think Im in my early thirties. Im a tall (59) red head, with green eyes (and freckles) and I usually weigh about 105 or so. I dont have much for breasts, but that doesnt seem to bother the guys I met any.But I found that I could really enjoy Myself, by myself. The only drawback was that I found it kept taking more stimulation to excite me. After a while I was surfing the internet for my excitement. Wow! The things I found there! For a while I was on one of those [CENSOR] Forum things. I shared email and, later, chat, with three guys who wanted stern mothers to role play with. I have to admit, that was a hot turn on for some time. I even sent screen cams of myself in costume (with masks, of course) and some of me nude. That gave my lots of nice sweet little orgasms for months, but, after a while, even that got old. I found myself looking at lesbian sites, next. I never considered myself interested in girls, but the stories I read actually started to affect me. Pretty soon I was looking for pictures of real women and girls enjoying each other. That got me really, really HOT! I even went out to a couple bars where girls like that go and tried to get picked up on, but, when I could never bring myself to do more than dance and kiss. I went home both times so horny I could have kicked myself. But I still couldnt bring myself to do more (but, someday I still might).It was back to wine and internet. Thats when I ran across my first zoo site. I was so shocked I shut down my browser and the whole damn computer. I was absolutely shaking from just seeing a few pictures of girls letting dogs lick their pussies. I went through a whole bottle of wine that night, trying to forget what I had seen. By the time I was on my last glass, I caught myself staring at Ernie as he lay at my feet licking himself. I stopped myself, right then and there! I went and took a cold shower and went to bed. But, the very next night, I was quivering like a cup of jello when I logged back into that same zoo site. That night I steeled my nerves with one shot of tequila before I sat at the computer. Inside of two hours I had put down three shots and had taken off my panties and was playing with my pussy while I looked at one nasty picture after another.For nearly three weeks I went from one zoo site to another, getting so hot I had to put my vibes to work, two and three at a time. It was wild! It was insane! And it was so exciting I couldnt stand it! During the day I would tell myself it was sick and perverted and taboo. But, since there is a park right outside my office window, I would still see people playing with their dogs sometimes, and I would wonder it this girl secretly let her dog lick her pussy. Or if that guy played with his dogs cock. It was so SICK!And it just got worse. I actually brought binoculars to work so I could see the dogs better. And it got worse than that! Twice I saw nice big fellows getting hard-on and it got me so hot I had to run to the ladies room and relieve myself.I guess you can guess what happened next. One night I made up my mind that I would let Ernie lick my pussy. I was so wet just knowing I was going to do it (that night) that I had to keep a washcloth around to keep wiping myself. When I finally sat down on the sofa and opened my legs and invited Ernie to eat me I was so hot I thought I would scream. But Ernie wasnt really interested. I went crazy. I got my biggest vibe and started doing my pussy right there on the sofa in front of him. I was even saying things like, damn dog, eat my pussy, you stupid mutt. That didnt seem to help. But it did change one thing. Now I KNEW I had to have a dog tongue on my pussy. The next day (a Saturday), I went back on line and read and read. Some of the people on this site gave me some clues to solve my problem. That afternoon I went to a huge, famous sporting goods store that is about 50 miles from here. I bought trap scent for fox. It was supposed to smell like a female fox in heat.I guess it was pretty powerful because that night, as soon as I opened the little plastic bottle, Ernie was more than just interested. And I was delighted. I Knew it would work before I started, but still I was very nervous about it. Again I put down a couple shots (with salt and lime) before I started. I went into my bathroom and spread the stinky oil on my hot, swollen labia, then tried to make it back to the couch. I say tried because Ernie was dancing all around me and he kept nearly knocking me down. When I sat on that couch and opened my legs Ernie went after my pussy like it was the only food he had seen in a year. And the very instant his long, bumpy tongue touched my pussy I CAME. I Came HARD.And he licked me like crazy and I just kept cumming like crazy. One huge, hot orgasm right on top of another! I was kicking my legs up in the air and screaming and bouncing all over the couch. God! I was Great! Just Great!!! It was the most incredible thing in my whole life! I just kept cumming and cumming and cumming and cumming! I was Insane! Out of control! I was a wild, free AN-I-MAL!!! Then Ernie jumped up between my legs and started trying to fuck me. And I didnt even Think about it! I reached down and pulled his hot, red, wet thing right to my hole and then he rammed!!!! I screamed so LOUD! It was so HARD! So HOT! And he pounded me so FAST! God! He pounded me faster than two jabs a second! He was a blur! And I was cumming so fucking HARD! Again and again! I just kept cumming and cumming!Then I felt that knot! I thought he was ripping me apart! And when it pounded past my ring it FILLED ME! And I came even more! I just couldnt stop cumming! Then he slowed down and I was Still cumming! And I could feel these hot, hot jets, like a squirt gun, spraying me so deep! He was filling me! Filling me so much my pussy couldnt hold it! Then he growled really deep and pumped a bit and I could feel even hotter sprays inside me. He was cumming and I knew and I loved it! I loved feeling his hot cum so deep in my womb! Then he just stood there panting and I lay under him, sobbing. I was sobbing because I was so happy! I have never been so happy, so content, so fulfilled. He stayed tied with me, throbbing inside me, and my cums got weaker and further apart, but I still was cumming. When he finally pulled, with a plop, out of my sore, happy pussy I nearly cried. I never wanted it out of me, not ever! And when he lay on the floor and started licking himself, I was so grateful and so in love that I dropped down next to him and started licking and sucking his wonderful cock for him. In less than 15 minutes he was hard and ready again. And this time I knelt on the floor with my ass high and my face on the carpet and helped him fuck me doggy style.The next morning I was so sore I could hardly sit down, but by Monday night Ernie and I were sharing our wonderful love again. I was not one of those girls who always hid a secret curiousity about dogs. I never thought one single sexual thought about dogs. Now I know better. Now I know whats best. I bought friend for Ernie last month, two year old a half-collie/half German shepherd. I named him Ollie. Ollie and Ernie get along great and Ollie was very easy to train, too. Nope! I never had any interest in dogs. Im just your average, quiet, church-going, office-working spinster.

Qatar raises stakes with more buying
Xstrata is proving to be a sought after take over target and Qatar is next in line to claim it...
July 25, 2012 9:25 by Reuters
Qatar, the second-largest shareholder in takeover target Xstrata, has again raised the stakes in its standoff with suitor Glencore, announcing for the second day in a row that it has bought shares, taking its holding to over 11 percent.
Qatar Holding bought shares consistently after commodities trader Glencore's $26 billion all-share bid for Xstrata was announced in February, lifting its stake from 3 percent to almost 11 percent, but the buying stopped after sovereign wealth fund's surprise announcement in June that it was demanding improved terms to support the deal.
It only resumed buying on Friday, in a purchase announced Monday, and it returned to the market on Monday, according to a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
Glencore, which already owns 34 percent of Xstrata, is offering 2.8 new shares for every Xstrata share held to secure a tie-up it hopes will create a mining and trading powerhouse. Qatar said last month it was demanding a ratio of 3.25.
The two are currently locked in talks, and sources familiar with the negotiation say they do not expect a thaw on either side until much closer to the date on which shareholders will be called to vote on the deal – Sept. 7.
Tuesday's filing showed Qatar had spent just over 9 million pounds ($14 million) on Xstrata shares, taking advantage of a weak market to take its stake to 11.03 percent.
"It supports the view that both parties want to get the deal done. Maybe there has been a rapprochement," analyst Nik Stanojevic at Brewin Dolphin in London said.
"The data point doesn't necessarily mean too much, but if they thought the whole thing would fall through (and Xstrata shares would fall) they would not necessarily be buying."
Xstrata shares were among the top fallers in the FTSE 100 on Tuesday, ending the day down 1.75 percent at 818 pence. Glencore ended the day down 2.3 percent at 304.6 pence, also underperforming a 0.6 percent drop in the sector.

Cinematographer Ramji on what a challenge it was to work with filmmaker Selvaraghavan for the third time
Despite the fact that his previous collaborations with Selvaraghavan (Aayirathil Oruvan and Mayakkam Enna) have neither got the critics raving nor set the cash registers ringing, cinematographer Ramji has no qualms about collaborating with the filmmaker on Irandam Ulagam. "For quite some time now, I have only been able to do a film once in two years. I don't really care as long as the script is good," laughs Ramji.
Ramji claims that the script of Irandam Ulagam, shot extensively in the picturesque locations of Georgia, a small eastern European country, grabbed him by the collar. "It's a love story with fantasy thrown in. We shot in difficult conditions," he says.
The best compliment
He is not a stranger when it comes to shooting in difficult conditions. I remind him of a few sequences in Aayirathil Oruvan and Paruthiveeran. "The best compliment I have ever received was when some of the fans told me that they felt the glare of the sun while watching Paruthiveeran," he says.
With Irandam Ulagam's shoot stretching for 153 days, what was it about the script that made it difficult to shoot? "We shot in an 18th century house located between four mountains. The location was such that there was not even proper power supply. It was physically demanding. And…Selva is a kind of filmmaker who wants to get everything right. So it took time," he explains.
How significant is Irandam Ulagam in his career? "I have always made sure that my cinematography doesn't take the audience's attention away from the film. In Mayakkam Enna, I decided to deliberately de-saturate the colours. But in Irandam Ulagam, I ran riot with colours, thanks to the fantasy genre," he says.
Having done intense films with Ameer and Selvaraghavan, Ramji is keen on trying something light. "I have done three films with Selva and I think now is the right time to work with someone else. Not because I am tired of working with him," he laughs, adding, "I would like to do a commercial film, I have not attempted before," he says.
Does he mean to say he is fine with doing the song-comedy-stunt formula films? "No. I don't mean that. I mean a more sensible kind of cinema." Does he have any commercial filmmakers in his mind that he would like to work with? "There are many. I would love to work with Lingusamy or Vishnuvardhan. I am open to working with anyone," he says. Even with rank newcomers? "Why not?" he asks and adds, "I watched Neram recently. I thought it was pretty neat. If new directors can come up with such scripts, I am game."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Maya Moore scored 16 of her game-high 26 points in the third quarter Sunday to lead the Minnesota Lynx to a 77-60 victory over the Seattle Storm.
Janel McCarville scored 13 points while Devereaux Peters added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Lynx, who won their third straight and have the best home record in the league at 9-1.
Camille Little led Seattle with 17 points, while Temeka Johnson added 12 for the Storm, who have lost four of six.
Moore, who leads the WNBA in scoring at 23.7 points per game, opened the third quarter with a nine-point spurt in the first 2 minutes to push the Lynx to a 41-28 lead.
She hit a 3-pointer off the second-half tip, stole a pass and drove the length of the court for a layup, then hit a pair of jumpers.

Venice may be less at risk from seas than feared
OSLO (Reuters) – Venice may be less at risk than feared from rising sea levels because damaging storm surges are likely to get less frequent this century as a side-effect of climate change, an expert said on Thursday.
Shifts in storm patterns in the Adriatic Sea could be a local impact of global warming, and this could offset higher sea levels in a city whose St Mark's Square and other historic areas are often flooded.
U.N. climate panel sets one-week deadline to fix errors
OSLO (Reuters) – The U.N. committee of climate scientists will fix any future errors "within a week or so," its head said on Wednesday, after coming under fire last year for bungling a forecast of when Himalayan glaciers would thaw.
"I think we now have a firm procedure by which we are going to deal with errors, or alleged errors," Rajendra Pachauri told Reuters during a visit to Oslo, referring to a set of reforms agreed at a meeting in Abu Dhabi on May 17.
Bonds could aid shift to green economy: OECD
OSLO (Reuters) – Green bonds could raise hundreds of billions of dollars a year to spur a shift to cleaner economic growth if governments set strong environmental goals such as for slowing climate change, the OECD said on Wednesday.
In a review of efforts to promote greener growth, it urged more innovation to favor investments in clean energies such as wind or solar power and a drive to place more value on everything from public health to clean water.
Norway plans billion-dollar clean energy for poor
OSLO (Reuters) – Norway wants to channel billions of dollars to renewable energies in developing nations, building on a scheme to protect tropical forests to which Oslo has been the biggest donor, officials said.
With cash to spare as the world's number six oil exporter, Norway wants governments and private investors to join a plan it calls Energy+ to promote green energies such as solar or wind power to combat climate change.

Electricity from microbes a step closer: study
OSLO (Reuters) – Microbes may be harnessed more easily to generate energy after a finding about how they naturally let off tiny electrical charges, scientists said on Monday.
The bacteria, found to have microscopic "wires" sticking through their cell walls, might also be used to clean up oil spills or uranium pollution, according to the report in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Plant, animal extinctions often exaggerated: study
OSLO (Reuters) – A projected spate of extinctions of animals and plants this century may be less drastic than feared because the most widely used scientific method can exaggerate losses by more than 160 percent, a study said on Wednesday.
"Extinctions caused by habitat loss require greater loss of habitat than previously thought," two experts, based in China and the United States, wrote in the journal Nature.
EU 2020 energy cuts may raise import share: Lomborg
OSLO (Reuters) – EU plans to cut energy use by 2020 risk raising the proportion imported from outside the bloc, partly due to domestic nuclear power curbs, Danish academic and environmental writer Bjorn Lomborg said on Wednesday.
The European Union, which imports half its energy, set a goal in 2009 of reducing consumption by 20 percent below projected levels by 2020 as part of a package to fight climate change that is also intended to boost security of supplies.
Third of amphibians said unknown; lurk in forests
OSLO (Reuters) – One in three of all types of amphibians may yet to be found by scientists and remote tropical forests should get extra protection as the likely homes of such "unknown" creatures, a study said on Wednesday.
Despite centuries of research by biologists, the report estimated that 3,050 types of amphibians — a group that includes frogs, toads, salamanders and newts — were still to be described, compared to 6,296 species known to science.
Trees may grow 500 km north by 2100 as Arctic greens
OSLO (Reuters) – Trees in the Arctic region may grow 500 km (300 miles) further north by 2100 as climate change greens the barren tundra and causes sweeping change to wildlife, a leading expert said.
A quickening melt of snow, ice and permafrost will enable more southerly species such as pine trees or animals such as foxes to move north.

This is going to be a fun one today! We all know that ants can be a nuisance, especially when they are in places they shouldn't be…like your house!
But did you know some individuals consider ants art? Yes, you read that correctly. See that amazing picture there to the left? It is not photoshopped! It is the mind-bending photography of artist Andrey Pavlov.
The ants in these spectacular images are very much alive. Russian photographer Andrey Pavlov spends countless hours setting up these fairytale-like scenes.
He has extensively studied ants, and found out that they all follow a very specific path when they're working. So he decided to put props in their way and well…the rest is beautiful and captivating history!
Check out this fascinating and mesmerizing gallery of Pavlov's riveting photography. He catches the ants interacting perfectly with his amazing miniature 'stage sets'.
Evidently he was inspired to create this art after he started reading fairy tales to his children! Every summer he moves to a special cottage to photograph red forest ants in fantasy settings he has carefully crafted by hand. Mr. Pavlov used to work in theater which obviously helps him create such incredible props!
We bet you'll never look at an ant the same way again! Enjoy the pictures!

What's green and likes bananas? No, not a monkey dressed as Kermit the Frog—a Cuban cockroach! That's right, folks, roaches can come in a nice shade of green!
This pale green roach made its way into this country in bananas. You'll never look at a banana the same way, will you?
It's scientific name is Panchlora nivea, but it's also known as the Cuban cockroach or green banana cockroach. This small species of cockroach can be found in Cuba and the Caribbean, and along the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas. This little green bug has even been spotted as far north as Charleston, South Carolina!
The females can grow up to 24 mm and the males are 12 to 15 mm long. They are extremely fast and they fly, too!
Interestingly, this nocturnal roach is not considered a pest since it is usually an outdoor species and not often found indoors. They prefer shrubbery, trees, and plants—not your home! The young ones can be found under logs and other debris. It is attracted to both indoor and outdoor lights.
People will often keep this roach as a pet because of it's cool green color and because it is not an invasive indoor species. It's also used as food for other pets occasionally.
However cool these green roaches may look, they don't belong in your home! If you spot a green roach or any other colored roach, contact us immediately and we'll have your home roach-free in no time!

Banned pollutants discovered off the African coast
Story supplied by LU Press Office
A researcher from The Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) says there are relatively high levels of harmful organic pollutants off the African coast possibly due to toxic waste.
Dr Rosalinda Gioia's research, reported in Nature, revealed the presence of high levels of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) which have been banned in Europe and North America because of their adverse effects on human health and ecosystems.
Dr Gioia, an atmospheric pollution researcher, is the lead author of the report published in Environmental Science and Technology.
She said: "In the global inventories of PCBs, Africa does not really represent a place where PCBs were sold or used. Of course, the long-term exposure to these levels of PCBs could lead to adverse effects to human health; however, a detailed toxicological study is needed in order to determine the effects."
She said that one likely source of the pollution is the dumping of old electrical waste such as capacitors and other PCB-containing products. Developing countries take large amounts of waste from Western nations and break them down or dispose of them, often with little regard for safety or pollution.
Another probable source of the PCBs is one of the world's largest ships' graveyards off the coast of Mauritania, where hundreds of wrecks have been left to decay, probably releasing PCBS in the process.
The production and use of these chemicals is now largely banned by national laws and under the 2001 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.

Hi Folks,
I have recently decided to brew a Christmas batch, and am eager to try adding spices for the first time. My first question is, being a fan of mostly Pale and Blonde Ales, what would be some interesting spices to add to either of these. I am most keen on cinnamon and nutmeg, but have also been curious about even vanilla. I am also a fan of sticking to things that are relatively common and readily available. Your opinions would be much appreciated. Also, when it comes to adding the spices, exactly how much do I need to add for a 6 gallon batch? If you have any other suggestions for spices, or anything else at all I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance,
The one phrase I kept finding in my research was, be careful. Less is more, especially when it comes to cloves. I tasted the wort when I transferred it to secondary and, even with only 3 cloves, you knew they were there. Not overpowering but present.
Here's my recipe on the brew that goes to bottle tomorrow:
9# Ultralight
1# Clover honey
¾ # Crystal 60
2 oz Chocolate malt
1 oz Magnum 13%
4 sticks cinnamon
3 cloves
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cardamom
2 tsp allspice
Peel from 4 oranges
1 oz Northern Brewers 7 ½%
All spices in at 30 minutes remaining. Orange peel & finishing hops in at 5 min. remaining
Good luck

How many squares are there on a rubik's cube ?
18 comments:
- GreatSoltan said...
6*[9(1x1)+12(2x1)+6(3x1)+4(2x2)+4(3x2)+1(3x3)] = 216

216 rectangles of which 84 are squares.

- Avishek said...
A cube has 6 face and each face has 4 straight lines intersecting 4 other.
So to make a rectangle we need to select 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines .
So the possible number is 6 * (4C2 * 4C2) = 216

84 squares

yeah its 84..

- Company Email said...
I believe its 297.
- June 9, 2011 at 2:46 AM
if the squares are considered rectangles... would it not be 216 rectangles plus 84 squares? (300 rectangles and squares)
- June 16, 2011 at 2:31 AM
One single square is a square as well as rectangle. i.e. square of 1
2*2 square will have 4+1 squares and 4 rectangles i.e. squares of 1 + squares of 2 will be number of squares and squares and rectangles together will be cube of 2 making total number nine.i.e. cube of no.2
3*3 square will have 14 squares and 22 rectangles making total of 36 i.e. Total number of squares =square of 1+square of2+square of 3 while sum total of squares and rectangles will be 36 i.e square of [1+2+3]
In this manner total number of squares and rectangles can be calculated.

3*3 square will have 14 squares and 22 rectangles making total of 36 i.e. Total number of squares =square of 1+square of2+square of 3 while sum total of squares and rectangles will be 36 i.e square of [1+2+3]

I can solve a 3x3 cube in less than 2 minutes, trust me ive been doing it for 2 years and for a person doing it for 2 years i am really slow but there are 27 cublets which is a piece. (1 cublet= 1 piece) or if you want how many stickers you would use this formula.
9x6 not that hard it is equal to 54
