In my Critical Thinking class, the students discussed the state of their research and could ask any questions they may have. I had the other students help come up with suggestions or solutions to each other's problems. But one conversation blew me away. I so needed a drink after the following exchange.
Student: Professor, I am having problems with my research paper.
Seeking Solace: What seems to be the problem?
Student: I am writing my paper on child abuse. Are there any laws that outlaw it?
SS (trying not to laugh in this girl's face): Uh…yes. Didn't you research this topic?
Student: Well, I am having trouble because this topic is too hard. I want to change my topic.
SS: Well, it's a little late for that. What is the thesis of your paper?
Student: I think anyone who reports child abuse should be put in jail.
SS: Well, that's an interesting premise. But what about people like doctors and teachers who are required by law to report abuse if they reasonably believe that a child has been abused.
Student: They should go to jail because it ain't no one's fucking business if I want to put my kid through a wall.
Class falls into a dead silence.
SS (thinking that someone should put this bitch through a wall): Well, you have a difficult task ahead of you. I guess you have to ask yourself what is abuse and defend you position with examples. But don't forget that you must look at those opinions that do not agree with your premise.
Student: This is fucking hard. I want to change my topic.
SS: It is too late to change your topic. You chose it. You handle it. When you have a more specific question, ask me then. But I can't help you if you have not completed any research.
Student (with a smart ass look): I guess.
No one said a word after that. What could you say after something like that?
Thankfully, another student had the courage to change the subject. I think everyone was stunned by that exchange. I was angry and disgusted. Does this student have kids? Yes. Does she do the type of thing that she suggested in our conversation? Probably. Can I prove it? No. Can I do anything about it? No.
But, I think I will say an extra prayer tonight.
Update 3/21/06: The student in question emailed me the outline for her paper. I will let you know what happens.
Say a Little Prayer
I just returned home from having drinks and snacks with my friend, Divorce Lady. Divorce Lady is a matrimonial attorney and my very good friend. We get together once a month to bitch about work and down a few martinis! MMMM…chocolate martinis!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn. I've had to deal with a lot of crap in my classes, but nothing like that.
Publius (my husband) thinks you should report it. I dunno.

Wow. That is quite disturbing, I agree. It sounds like you teach a lot of non-traditional students(?) Miami is almost exclusively 18-22- year-olds, so we don't usually have to deal with anything like that. Do you really think the student is abusing her kids? I wonder if she will say anything "revealing" in her paper... Take care.

This sound like someone who shouldn't have kids. She sounds like a perfect example for an argument requiring a license to have kids.
Just about the time that I think that I've heard everything, something like this comes along ...

Brazen: Legally, I have no obligation to report it. As a lawyer, I do not believe that I can prove that she does or ever did what she stated. Words alone do not meet the standard of reasonable belief that abuse has occurred. But ethically and morally…I don't know. If I did say something, even anonymously, I am afraid that this student would find out it was me. That could raise even bigger problems.
Adenostoma: Part of me thinks that she might be. She is very outspoken regarding her personal life. But she is also known to blow smoke about different things.
To all: I will be interested in reading her paper. Of course, I will let you all know what she writes!!!

Do you think there is ANY possibility that this woman is a person who is actually trying to provoke you in order to get help? I hoping she'll do some research on the topic and come speak with you so you can ask her more. I think it's well within the bounds of teacher-student conversation to aak her why she's chosen this topic (again). I'd be incredibly blunt with her (with the door open) and ask her why she's telling you this? She obviously needs help. I think you have to inform her that she's telling you information that makes you suspect she abuses her own children and you want to know why she's telling you this.
Nothing like more unsolicited advice... I'll be anxious to hear how this one ufolds.

- BrightStar said...
Ugh... You ask if a teacher should report child abuse, student reveals herself or himself as a likely abuser... and sort of indirectly threatens if you report it. Icky.
In other news, I'm kind of relieved that this student is enrolled in a critical thinking class, because clearly the student needs to learn to think critically.
Mmm... Chocolate martinis. I had an espresso martini recently that totally rocked.

That is just amazing... if I understand your assignment correctly, I don't see a way for child abuse to be a good topic. I don't see an argument in favor of abusing kids... I've had a similar problem with the topics of racism and sexism. I try to get them to frame the question on the other side -- argue racism or sexism is good... then they usually pick a new topic.

Holy cow - pro-child abuse.
Do you have a "all papers are the property of me" policy? Maybe then you could get a grading assistant for that particular paper - one who could assist you on the validity of those arguments. One that might not have the evidence to do anything now, but can keep ears to the floor for anything else that may go on in this family's life.
I'm "piling on" prayer-wise

Si le manque d'entretien ne vous dérange pas, le site est le plus beau qu'on a vu.
We enjoyed our stay at the cabina, it is very well kept and has a nice homie-nook feel. The only two things that didnt go well for us were that in the three days we stayed here the maid never came which only really caused an issue with the bathroom garbage space and the cabina is located right next to the main street in town (which can be noisy due to the dirt bikes and quads). When you stay here you have access to the Banana Bars pool which is nice. Pia helped us check in after hours and she is very friendly.
Pia's Studio is great! So close to the beach and very relaxing. The shower smelt a little bit but i think you have to expect that when travelling to tropical places. The Air Conditioning worked good, the bed was comfy and the kitchen had all utensils to make pretty much everything. We had a great stay :)
The reservation was canceled 99 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
To say that my stay was nothing short of a complete mistake and misunderstanding is an understatement.
I should start by saying that my review is based mostly on the fact that I did not do research before booking this location and the property.With that said, I urge you to please do research before booking!!!
I was not able to cancel the room because I booked it the day before and then realized that it was located 5hrs away from SJO airport and had to purchase a charter flight from SJO to Tambor. But I decide to make the best of it and not cry over spilled milk.
Upon arriving Pia was kind enough to have a taxi waiting for me for $45. 30min later on an extremely bad dirt road, I arrived to paradise.Um, Not exactly! Pia was more pleasant via emails than she is in person. She seems reserved and uninviting, which made it hard to try and hold a conversation.
The room is as described and not much else to see, and though it was low season (Sept) I would've appreciated some sort of info on where to go, other than the generic "go to your right or left, most restaurants are closed for low season, but enjoy and relax". The view is what you would expect and based on the way everyone speaks about the beaches I was expecting the next best thing this side of heaven! To my dismay, the beach was a disaster. It looked uninhabited, desolate and in desperate need of a face lift. But serene at the same time. So I sucked it up and enjoyed the waves reading a book.
There was no light in the restroom and the light in the balcony was out which made it for a very Dark first night. Especially when the lights on the compound went out completely. Pia, did have someone fix it in the morning, and was apologetic about it. Based on one review I read, she still has yet to fix the bed out on the balcony which would have been a great save, since most people would like to sit and read and enjoy a night cap, coffee or wine.
The worst part of this was the shower which smelled as bad as a New York City sewer! The water though came out clear had an odor alone made it difficult to shower. The TV was also hard to watch, as the bed is so absolutely low to the ground and the TV is no where near eye level, I'd suggest moving the tv down a bit if the cable extended, but that I assume would make too much sense.
So, that's pretty much my rant. In a nutshell, this destination is pretty much for hippies, surf junkies, and nature lovers, who want the literal sense of "Pura Vida". It's a simpler life than I expected or was use to, to say the least.
The place is just as advertised and pictured. Pia and everyone that works there were very friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept nice, I felt safe, and it is really, really close to the beach. The kitchenette pretty much has everything you need and there is a market close by. I had to work part time while I was there and I really enjoyed brewing a cup of coffee and bringing my computer out to the balcony for a relaxing workspace. You are backed up to the road (many places are in Santa Teresa) but I didn't really notice it because the cabina faces out towards a nice garden. I had a great stay and would come back.

It is the first women's cross country Atlantic 10 championship in Duquesne history and the first A-10 title for DU since the men's cross country team won in 2005.
Senior Amber Valimont paced the Red and Blue, finishing fourth in the 111 runner field with a time of 17:11.1. Following closely behind in sixth place was fellow senior Haley Pisarcik with a time of 17:18.7, while rounding out the top 10 was freshman Valerie Palermo. This trio was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference Team, while Coach Tom Slosky was named the Atlantic 10 Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year. In addition, Pisarcik and Valimont were named to the All-Academic Team.

Progress and Achievements in the community of Cinco
In addition to the small daily changes that happen in
any family around the world, Yesica-mariela and her family together with
their friends and neighbours have worked hard over the last year to
improve their standard of living. Participating in community meetings and
sharing responsibility for carrying out projects is an important role in
the community's partnership with PLAN.
All their efforts together with your valuable support
have made the following projects possible, projects that will benefit the
whole community either now or in the future. The attached photograph
illustrates one of these projects.
To address the problem of lack of access to water or
deficient water service, which principally affects children, PLAN provides
access to potable water, especially in the rural areas, through the
introduction or improvement of water systems and the protection of water
sources in order to ensure sustainability of the natural resource that
water represents. In most cases, this type of project was coordinated with
a local NGO, which provided the technical support. In other cases, PLAN
coordinated with the local water company.
Children formulated proposals on how they would like
their teachers and parents to educate them, as well as receiving
orientation on topics that they have requested in children/youth
consultations. The teachers are responsible for guaranteeing that the
different meetings are carried out according to the plan of action that is
developed with teachers and
Many farmers in El Salvador do not know of agricultural
techniques that would allow them to produce vegetables for family
consumption at low costs and without contaminating the environment. For
this reason, PLAN El Salvador offered training to farmers through this
project. Both adults and children participated in the activities and
practices carried out in this project, which contributes to an increase in
the percentage of farmers with basic knowledge on organic agriculture and
environmental protection which lead to improved socio-economic
Many youth in El Salvador do not attend school due to
economic reasons, lack of motivation, or because they become parents at an
early age and desist from attending school. For this reason, PLAN El
Salvador awards scholarships to youth in PLAN communities. The youth
selected to receive this benefit are primarily those who work as PLAN
Communications or Project Administration Committee volunteers. Currently
PLAN El Salvador has a group of some 7000 volunteers that are a key factor
in program and communications delivery.
Many children in El Salvador do not complete their
primary education, and for this reason, PLAN considers it important to
support education efforts with the furniture and equipment that contribute
to a more quality education for children in primary school. This project
was implemented in different communities where there was a deficit and the
community solicited support.
This project provides community benefits, since all
children can access the school. This benefit, depending on the care it is
given, can benefit several generations of children.

Record-Breaking Number of Abstracts Submitted to ObesityWeek 2014
Letter from the President
TOS eNews, Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Dear Colleagues,
Although we're still four months away from ObesityWeekSM, by now, many of you have submitted your research to the conference and are standing by eager to confirm your registration for the leading event in the obesity field.
Last year's inaugural ObesityWeek was quite a hit, but 2014 is sure to be an even more exciting event with a record-breaking number of scientific abstracts submitted to TOS (989) and ASMBS (400) annual meetings – for a grand total of nearly 1,400 abstracts! Late-breaking submissions will likely bring us over the 1500 mark, clearly setting the stage for one of the most exciting, and impactful obesity research and clinical care meetings of 2014.
If you attended last year, you'll remember the superior attendance at the poster sessions, which are scheduled at a special time as not to conflict with other meeting events and sessions. Further, we'll offer a cash bar during the evening time block. And, you won't have to worry about missing out on the research if you're not able to make one of the sessions – all posters will be displayed throughout the conference, starting on Tuesday, Nov. 4 through Friday, Nov. 7.
While you wait to hear about the science which will be presented in poster and oral presentations, you can get started planning your schedule for various sessions and forums now in the online, interactive schedule. The events and activities are color-coded so you can easily distinguish between TOS, ASMBS and combined events, which will continually be updated as new information is available. There are more than 100 sessions for you to choose from. Registration is expected to open next week, and planning ahead can give you a head start on learning about the sessions and symposia open to attendees.
More details regarding speakers and poster presentations will be posted as soon as they available, and there are lots of ways to keep in touch. Make sure to stay up on the latest by finding, following and sharing about #OW2014 on social media via Twitter: @ObesityWeek, @ObesitySociety, @ASMBS; and Facebook: @The Obesity Society and @ASMBS. You'll also want to keep an eye out for the redesigned ObesityWeek 2014 mobile app — launching in early Fall.
I hope you'll support the research, treatment and prevention of obesity by spreading the word about ObesityWeek 2014!
Steven R. Smith, MD
The Obesity Society President

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Colorectal Cancer - Topic Overview
Screening tests can find or prevent many cases of colon and rectal cancer. They look for a certain disease or condition before any symptoms appear. Experts recommend routine colon cancer testing for everyone age 50 and older who has a normal risk for colon cancer. Your doctor may recommend getting tested more often or at a younger age if you have a higher risk. Talk to your doctor about when you should be tested.
The most common screening tests are:
- Stool tests that check for signs of cancer, such as blood in the stool.
- Sigmoidoscopy. A doctor uses a lighted scope to see the lower portion of the intestine. This is where most colon cancers grow. Doctors can also remove polyps during this test.
- Colonoscopy. A doctor puts a long, flexible tube into your rectum and colon. The tube is usually linked to a video monitor similar to a TV screen. With this test, the doctor can see the entire large intestine.
- Computed tomographic colonography (CTC), also called a virtual colonoscopy. A computer and X-rays make a detailed picture of the colon to help the doctor look for polyps.

|ASU Camp Report: August 15
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Friday, 16 August 2013 06:35
Appalachian State University football held its 17th practice of fall camp on Thursday at Kidd Brewer
Stadium. The Mountaineers worked out for two hours in full pads on an unseasonably cool afternoon in the High Country.
One day after holding a 93-play scrimmage, the Mountaineers did not scale back from the 11-on-11 work that has been a staple of its practices throughout fall camp.
The defense dominated at the beginning of Thursday's first full-team period. On the very first snap, redshirt freshman safety Alex Gray (Suwanee, Ga./Peachtree Ridge) undercut a would-be receiver to haul in an interception. Two plays later, tackle Stephen Burns (Taylorsville, N.C./Alexander Central) pulled down a low pass at the line of scrimmage for the defense's second interception in three snaps.
On the fifth and sixth plays of the period, Appalachian ramped up the pass rush for back-to-back sacks. Tackle Thomas Bronson (Brooksville, Fla./Hernando) recorded the first sack and Ronald Blair (Greensboro, Ga./Greene County) and Deuce Robinson (Blythewood, S.C./Blythewood) teamed up for the second.
The offense faired slightly better to close the period. Highlights included a first-down pass from backup quarterback Kameron Bryant (Cary, N.C./Panther Creek) to true freshman Dante Jones (Raleigh, N.C./Southeast Raleigh), an 11-yard pickup by running back Eric Davidson (Greensboro, N.C./Western Guilford) and a first-down strike from true freshman signal-caller Taylor Lamb (Calhoun, Ga./Calhoun) to local product Mo Gore (Boone, N.C./Watauga).
The offense carried the strong play into the second 11-on-11 period. On the ground, Davidson and Paul Magloire (Lynbrook, N.Y./Milford Academy) both picked up long gains. Through the air, starting quarterback Jamal Londry-Jackson (Atlanta, Ga./North Atlanta) found Simms McElfresh (Charlotte, N.C./Charlotte Christian) and Tony Washington (High Point, N.C./T.W. Andrews) for first-down connections, with Washington's first-down catch coming on an acrobatic one-handed grab in traffic. However, the highlight of the period came when Bryant hooked up with Tacoi Sumler (Miami, Fla./Christopher Columbus) for a spectacular touchdown pass. Bryant's throw initially looked like it would be picked off by true freshman T.J. Watkins (Forest City, N.C./East Rutherford) but Sumler skied in front of Watkins to snatch the ball then used his world-class speed to scamper 60 yards for a score.
The Mountaineers closed practice with their familiar final period of two-minute drills. The offense opened the period by finding the end zone on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Londry-Jackson to Sean Price (Reston, Va./South Lakes). The defense responded with a stop but the offense closed the practice on a high note when Drew Stewart (Gastonia, N.C./North Gaston) nailed a 42-yard field goal despite intense pressure from both the field-goal block unit and his teammates on both sidelines.
Appalachian's Friday practice session is closed to the public but a full practice report will be available at appstatesports.com. Additionally, fans have the opportunity to watch the Mountaineers conduct their final intrasquad scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday during Appalachian State football's annual Fan Fest at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Gates open at 5 p.m.

CABOT, Ark. (KTHV) - A Cabot woman said a proposed Neighborhood Walmart to be built next door to her will ruin her property value.
"I'm sure the parking lot is going to be at the edge of my property," said Beckie Hawley.
Hawley said the retail giant initially discussed buying her home, but the talk went cold.
"They approached me and had me come and sign a contract," said Hawley. "They were surveying and doing things to the property next to us, but they weren't coming on mine, so I called our real estate agent."
Cabot Mayor Bill Cypert said two owners requested the city to change their zoning to commercial.
"Two property owners on Campground Road represented by a proxy agent have requested rezoning from r1 to c2," said Mayor Cypert. "On the east side, the back side of the lots on Campground Road there would have to be a 40 foot buffer zone with a privacy fence."

Band Members: Who's Nice and Who's a Dick to Meet
I'm just curious who some of the biggest assholes and some of the nicest in bands you've met?
For me I'd say the biggest asshole I met was Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, etc). He was signing a few records/cds for me, and one got mixed in that he was on, when he got to it he threw it at me and said in a real dickhead way "I WASN'T ON THIS!!"
[B]Also notable dickheads I've met were:[/B]
Dani Filth
Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir)
Mustis (Dimmu Borgir)
[B]Some of the nicest: (not counting band members I actually know)[/B]
Tom G. Warrior (Celtic Frost/Hellhammer/Triptykon)
George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher
Karl Sanders (Nile)
Nergal (Behemoth)
Vortex (Dimmu Borgir)
Phil Anselmo
Eric Singer (Kiss, Alice Cooper, Badlands, Sabbath, etc..)
One of the first bands I met was Cannibal Corpse. I was walking to my car after the show and I saw them outside of their bus surrounded by a pretty big group of people. Some friends and I walked up and talked to them about the show and World Of Warcraft and what not. Alex was talking to the same group of dudes for quite a long time and didn't seem like he was irritated at all. A kid who I think may have been mentally challenged walked up to Corpsegrinder with a huge sword and he signed it for him. It's awesome that one of the hugest, most influential death metal bands around are is filled with good people who actually appreciate their fans.
Amon Amarth was also really cool. It was their first time in Oklahoma when my friends and I saw them and they really seemed to enjoy it. Olavi gave me shit along with my friends because I don't like Manowar, and they signed a bunch of shit for everyone and were really appreciative.
I could type a bunch more about all the other bands I've met, but that'd take too long, so here's a list.
Piotr and Paul from Vader
Ethan from Lecherous Nocturne
Ross and Rob from Immolation
Karl Sanders from Nile
Elizabeth from Dreaming Dead
Doc from God Forbid
David and Rob from Machine Head
Michael and Derek from The Faceless
Decrepit Birth
Mattie from For Today
Bryon from God Forbid
Rose Funeral
Roope from Children Of Bodom
[QUOTE=Bloodcurse;316294][B]Some of the nicest: (not counting band members I actually know)[/B]
Tom G. Warrior (Celtic Frost/Hellhammer/Triptykon)[/QUOTE]
Totally. He's got this miserable rep, but he rocks. Very intelligent guy who wants to talk about things if he thinks you're on his wavelength.
Jeff from High on Fire was hands down the coolest, he and I sat at the bar and drank after Opeth for a couple hours, great guy.
Devin Townsend
Mikael Akerfeldt
Vorph (Samael)
Tyr (had dinner with the whole band, completely awesome dudes)
Brann Dailor (dude even offered to help me fix my car after the gig)
Bill Kelliher
Troy Sanders
Nicko McBrain (only got to talk to him on the phone but he was awesome)
Paul Masvidal
Sean Reinert
Kind of dicks:
Brent Hinds
Pretty much everyone I've met from was nice only a couple of dicks.
3 Inches Of Blood
Bill Robinson(Decrepit Birth)
Byron Davis(God Forbid)
The Black Dahlia Murder(coolest dudes I have ever met from a band)
Winds Of Plague
Gavin and Sean from Arsonists Get All The Girls
Tommaso Ricadi(Fleshgod Apocalypse)
Scale The Summit
Troy Sanders,Bill Kelliher,Brann Dailor(Mastodon)
The Crimson Armada
Matt From Periphery
Brent Hinds(Mastodon)
Skeletonwitch are some of the coolest dudes ever.
Bill from Decrepit Birth is a nice and interesting guy to talk to.
Lamb of God
Nergal (Behemoth)
3 Inches of Blood
Lightning Swords of Death
Blood Red Throne
Enslaved (x2)
Machine Head
Ben Falgoust (Goatwhore)
Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch) (imagine that...)
Rob Zombie
The only two i've ever meet were Dio, he was doing an in store autograph session back in 1998 and Brian Fair from Shadows Fall earlier this year. I just exchanged brief pleantries with them and told them I like their music but both were very cool. The meeting with Brian Fair was just a chance encounter though. They were on a tour supporting 5FDP and he was just hanging out at the bar after the show so I just went up and meet him which a lot of people were doing.
I don't go out of my way to meet too many band members because if they're dicks it can ruin the image of them you built up for yourself and can also affect how you end up liking their music.

Senior pageant winner credits positive attitude
When Elisabeth Howard took top talent and was named the overall winner in the preliminary Ms. Senior pageant in the Conejo Valley in 2011, she advanced to the state competition but didn't even place.
"I went home, took my two trophies off the shelf, put them in the closet and pondered," said Howard, 71. "Two days later, I picked myself up, dusted myself off and started all over again because I'm not a quitter. Never was, and I don't accept having regrets. I learned from that experience big-time."
That experience ultimately led Howard to winning Ms. Senior America 2012. She was crowned Oct. 11 during the pageant at Harrah's Resort Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.
"This title and position will give me a bigger voice with which to inspire and empower women at the age of elegance to take those dusty dreams out of the closet, dust them off, be the best you can be, live your dream and let it shine because ... the best is yet to come," Howard said.
The state-level Ms. Senior California pageant took place in August at the Rose Center Theater in Westminster.
"At that pageant, Elisabeth, an opera singer from Topanga, captured the title of Ms. Senior California 2012 and she represented California at the Senior America pageant," said Marilyn McCabe Kohler, state pageant director for the Ms. Senior California of America Pageant Program.
Women from 35 states vied for the title of Ms. Senior America. Howard, a graduate of the Julliard School, is a member of the voice faculty at Pepperdine University and has been on the voice faculties at USC, Hunter College in New York, and Indiana University. Howard also has facilitated workshops and master classes in 11 countries and 36 cities.
"I am also a singer, trained in opera and classical, and I love to perform in music theater, as well," said Howard, who specializes in opera, rock, pop, musical theater and jazz in her teaching.
"The board of directors have television and radio engagements set up for Ms. Howard," Kohler said. "She will also be performing with the Ms. Senior California Cameo Club performers, the Silver Girls. We invite all senior women, age 60 years or more ... to enter this senior program that gives recognition to all seniors."
Howard said her competitors "all were powerful women, leaders in their community, beautiful inside and out and extremely talented."
She said the most challenging aspect of the competition was getting vocal rest and finding time to practice each day. She sang "Sempre Libera" from the opera "La Traviata."
At the finals, names were called one by one, starting with fourth runner-up.
"The anticipation was excruciating," Howard said. "Then I heard, 'Ms. California, Elisabeth Howard.' I almost died."
Being crowned "was one of the proudest, if not the proudest, and most exhilarating moments in my life," she said. "Walking back and forth across the stage to the beautiful pageant music with cameras flashing was absolutely surreal. It felt like a dream."
She attributes her emotional and physical health to staying away from negative influences, including people and environments.
"I don't argue with anyone," said Howard, who added that she is blessed with an amazing husband, Geoffrey Forward. The couple will celebrate their 30th anniversary in June.
Among her advice to women is, "If you can, distance yourself from negativity, including people, situations, environments," she said. "Be a role model for others. Give of yourself. Volunteer. Use your gifts. Go the extra mile. Love yourself."
In her case, slight changes make a big difference.
"I changed my hairstyle and feel like a new person," she said. "That, with ... more attention to makeup and a positive attitude, goes a long way."
To participate: Contestants are being sought for the Ms. Senior Conejo Valley Preliminary Pageant to be held May 19 at the Goebel Senior Center in Thousand Oaks. Contestants must be 60 years old and United States citizens. For more information, call Susan Cashman at 818-883-8975.

Verizon Wireless announced in late October that it would launch the Nokia Lumia 822 and HTC 8X at some point this month. The carrier also unveiled the 2-year term pricing options for both Windows Phone 8 devices and said that more details would be available closer to launch.
Yesterday, the Big Red made a brief update on the previous announcement and confirmed pre-orders for Lumia 822 and 8X would start on November 9.
Well, it looks like the pre-order pages for both smartphones are now live, so customers can start to pre-purchase any of the two handsets.
In this regard, Verizon is offering the Nokia Lumia 822 for $100/€80 with a new two-year agreement and after a $50/€40 mail-in rebate, while the HTC 8X is up for pre-order for $200/€155 on a 2-year contract and after a $50/€40 mail-in rebate.
Customers who do not wish to commit to a long-term contract can grab the HTC Windows Phone 8X for $550/€430 and the Nokia Lumia 822 for $450/€350 outright.
Verizon currently offers the HTC 8X in blue, red and black and the Nokia Lumia 822 in white, black and silver color options.
Although the carrier mentions that both smartphones will ship by November 13, the red-themed HTC 8X was confirmed to ship by November 21.
Unfortunately, Verizon's outright offer for Lumia 822 is inferior to AT&T's deal on Lumia 920. The best Windows Phone handset available on the market, Nokia Lumia 920 will go on sale via AT&T for $450/€350 outright.
Basically, AT&T has the Lumia 920 similar to Verizon's Lumia 822, though the former offers much better features.
In other news, AT&T has also assured us the HTC 8X will hit shelves later today for $100/€80. This is the price for the 16GB, whereas the 8GB model is likely to go on sale for $50/€40 cheaper.

Promod 950L
Papain is derived from the tropical plant Carica Papaya and is widely used for meat tenderization, flavor production, yeast hydrolysis, and much more. Its seasonal crop variant plant origin means that its quality, price, and supply may not always be constant. This can be overcome by using a microbial alternative such as Promod 950L which isn't dependent on the production of seasonal fruit. In addition, it also has the added benefit of being produced in a way that makes it less susceptible to other problems sometimes experienced with papain from papaya.

They're Alive!
... in the Crave section
... from October 8, 1999
Long ago, I believed my tiny tit-nubs were dead warts, without sensitivity. Then Dyan Becker, an agile-mouthed, sharp-toothed blonde, guaranteed arousal of my dormant pseudo-mammaries. Confidently, she sucked my frigid seeds, until spasms of ecstasy gushed forth. I shrieked with gooey hysteria.
Maintaining her squeeze on my love buttons, Dyan lowered her head to gently blow me. I thundered into an orgasm that jolted my carcass for delirious minutes. Nipple play led me into a galaxy of soft-hearted, hard-dicked emotions.
My advice for beginners? Approach nipples cautiously -- pretend they're wild bunny rabbits. If you charge in gnashing and scratching, you'll scare them.
Slowly stalk the timid creatures, warm them with your palms, circle the aureoles with your fingertips. Don't pounce until the bunny-buds perk up, thrilled and curious.
Steadily increase your bullying, with an unpredictable assortment of tweaks, twists, kisses, flicks, pinches, and nips. The initially-hesitant nipple-bunnies will soon be begging for you to eat them.
Tit-teasing is mandatory foreplay in my sexual agenda. I keep them in the game until climax, unless they get overstimulated.
Men: You weren't born with a clitoris, but your easy-to-find duo of boob-dots makes an excellent substitute. Beg your babe to maintain attention during fellatio and intercourse. If she's "on top," she can rhythmically time her vaginal squish-downs with some naughty nipple pulling that'll give you a tailbone-shattering orgasm.
Women: If his crotch-slurping tongue coordinates well with his nipple-taunting fingers, you'll get treated to cunnilingus sessions that'll leave you wetly, sweetly splayed. If he's got a loose paw or two during intercourse (i.e. in "doggie-style") insist that he pluck on your udder-ends.
Chest 69: Side-by-side or top-n'-bottom, line your nibbling lips up with your partner's nipples. If you're hungry add chocolate, honey, or whipped cream, and munch each other into wonderland. When you're both screaming to explode, simply slide down to quim and weenie and finish each other off with some oral.
Mama's Mammaries: Women who have birthed and nursed have larger, less predictable teat-tops. She might seek rough chomping on her half-numbed nubs, or perhaps they're super-sensitive due to toothy tots who haven't been weaned. Communicate, you klutzes. Possible bonus: If she's still lactating, you can guzzle like a thirsty infant with some kinky milk.

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
A collection of papal letters and council canons published around A.D. 850 by Isidore Mercator in Gaul. The first part contains sixty letters attributed to early popes (fifty-eight of them were forged); the second part is made up of canons of councils; and the third gives letters of Roman pontiffs (thirty of which were forged.) David Blondel (1590-1655), and the Brothers Ballerini, in the eighteenth century, proved them to be false after they had been thought for centuries to have been authentic. The aim of this forger was to increase the authority and independence of the bishops against civil officials. He was most likely not interested in augmenting the power of the popes, which had been already well established before the ninth century.

I am a city girl. Well, kind of. I grew up in New York City, the daughter of diplomats to Norway, even though I spent much of my time in the Norwegian countryside. My mom served meat and potatoes daily, and I left for college vowing potatoes would never again touch my lips. I didn't keep that promise – but culinary monotony led me to seek diversity in food for the rest of my life. Living in Manhattan, entertaining public relations, media, and advertising clients, I was given every opportunity to eat anything and everything, which I did with great enthusiasm. In 1989, a company in Sun Valley, Idaho recruited me to run their business. Sun Valley is a posh ski resort with arts and fine restaurants, surrounded by wilderness. Seemed like my kind of place – and a great place for a single mother to raise a child. I never imagined when I took this turn on life's road I'd find myself living among people who live and die by a diet of meat and potatoes.
I hadn't been in Idaho long before I bought the business and decided to call Idaho home. I wasn't aware then that Sun Valley is not a true reflection of Idahoans. As a matter of fact, Sun Valley people are often perceived as foreigners to most Idaho locals. The good news was, as much as I enjoyed the finer things in life, one thing I loved more was different cultures. Spending a great deal of time growing up in Norway, I had a heart for humble and simple people. Perhaps we all do. The people on the land spoke to a place in me that had gone ignored. At the same time, living in Sun Valley, I saw my urban neighbors opposing many practices of people on the land. The environmental activist friends I associated with painted local ranchers and farmers as villains. This disturbed me, but I didn't know enough to know why. It bugged me like a fly does buzzing around your head on a hot summer night and I could not swat it away. Funny thing was I didn't know a single rancher or cowboy. But that was all about to change.
One day, a cowboy stopped by to look at a horse someone had dropped off. I was renting a small ranch, with no horse experience – just like a dude from the city (it's no wonder they sometimes roll their eyes at us – we do act like we know it all if we've read the book about it). During his visit, he kindly helped me figure out how to saddle my horse, feed my horse, and yes – even ride it. I was clueless. He introduced me to more cowboys, cowgirls, and ranchers, and well…you get the picture. Over time, I learned as much as I could about horses, and the environmental challenges and conflicts that faced people making their living on the land. I became fascinated by the image urbanites had of people ranching on western lands. I was equally fascinated by how people on the land saw us city folk. The sad part was much of what they thought about city dwellers was true. Kids did think eggs and milk came from the grocery store. People in cities, concerned with the environment did give money to organizations trying to destroy their livelihoods, even if they didn't know it. I was beginning a journey that would take me a thousand miles on a road I didn't even know existed.
I soon befriended a ranching family grazing on more than 100,000 acres of public land for over a century. I wanted to learn the reality of ranching, and quite frankly, what everyone on every side of the environmental war was up in arms about. They challenged me to come and actually do the work — I took them up on it. Almost every week I packed my car with my saddle, a pair of Wranglers (which did nothing for my butt), a long-sleeved shirt to protect me from the sun, and my cowboy hat. Did I mention it was an Australian saddle and hat? It didn't take the cowboys long to tell me, in the most polite way possible, the saddle and hat looked stupid. They helped me get properly outfitted, which varied depending on what part of the West one was in. In this part of the West, one wore a black felt cowboy hat shaped just right, and the saddle must have a horn. I didn't dare admit I preferred an English saddle to the Western one – leaving me wide open to ridicule and they already had more material in me to last a lifetime. Over time, I collected the proper gear while these guys put up with me and taught me the cowboy code. In case you ever wonder if the cowboy code you saw in old Westerns is for real, take it from me – it is. At least with these guys.
I try not to think about how much money I might have saved in my young adulthood if I'd spent my time within this culture, instead of countless weekends at personal growth workshops and therapy sessions with the rest of my city friends. The older I get, the more I realize simple wisdom is the most profound. One of the biggest lessons I learned from these rough and tough cowboys is honor and integrity is stored in the traditions and hearts of people who live it. These guys lived it.
