Granny Pass
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
They say that behind every good man is a great woman. Well, how about behind every hot MILF is a horny GILF? Granny Pass puts these elder ladies right in the palm of your hand on your mobile device.
GrannyPass is home to a collection of nonexclusive hardcore porn scenes featuring older ladies. Now, in some of the scenes these grannies go one-on-one with guys, become licking lesbians with cute chicks and sometimes the action involves three participants (at least one of whom is always a "granny").
The design is typical of a mobile site and they have the pagination and simple navigation that you want and expect. When you first sign in you are presented with just a few pages of content. However, at the top of the page is a "see all" link that gives you all the scenes.
Many are split into parts, but thankfully the parts are presented in sequence, so you won't have to go searching through everything to find out what happens next in the scene you are watching. Taking the parts into account, you are getting a total of 49 scenes. There is a photo section, but it is empty. The videos generally look good on a mobile device.
The site doesn't date its content, so at this point I can't give you any info on how often they update. Also, there is no option to save your favorites. However, a nice feature is the content tags that show up under each scene on the video page and let you filter for similar scenes.
Old women might not be as mobile as their younger counterparts and many of them probably don't own a smartphone, but in a hardcore ironic twist, the older babes on this site are very portable and super smartphone friendly. Depending on how fast the site grows you might stick around for a little while or be done with everything rather quickly - as long as the nonexclusiveness of it all isn't an issue for you.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Galapagos Trip April 2012
Early rise and early out to be first on the island. We took the Prince Phillip steps to the top where we were greeted by all kinds of birds. This was as our first encounter with animals up close and it was amazing to see them up close and unafraid of humans. The frigate birds were mating (trying to at least) so the males had their red pouches inflated to attracted the females. Red and blue footed boobies were nesting and we saw eggs as well as hatchlings. Highlight was probably the short eared owl. Beautiful yellow eyes. We were fairly close to it and it stayed perched, almost posing for us. Then he decided to have lunch and killed a petrel, which is very rare to see. (It apparently took a professional film crew weeks to get the shot of the owl making a kill) Then back to boat lunch and siesta.
In the afternoon we did a deep water snorkel along the cliffs. Had a wet suit on for this but could have done without it. We saw hammerhead sharks and sea turtle on our first snorkel. It seems our guides will find us everything we came to see. After the deep water snorkel we went to Darwin beach for a short hike to see sea lions, iguanas, more birds and snorkeling from the beach. Great day.
Back to boat for showers before dinner. While leaving Genovesa, we encountered a whale. Then a large pod of dolphins were near the boat. All of this in one day.

The Test
Afterword by Barbara Horn
From American Book Award-winner Dorothy Bryant, comes this timeless story about caring for an aging parent. With complexity, bravery, and dry humor, The Test details the frustrating push and pull between Pat and her eighty-year-old father, who is attempting—for the third and last time—to pass the test to renew his driver's license. Bryant's unflinching gaze sees deep into the hearts of both parent and child, revealing the dramatic, awkward, and universal struggle each faces with aging, memory, and love. Trying to reconstruct memories of her childhood and of who her parents once were, Pat puzzles out the confabulations of family memory: how stories become accepted fact, how facts get twisted in stories, and how some perspectives are lost completely. In a deeply sensitive examination of one woman's coping with the changes of aging, Bryant offers a rare and moving testimony.
"Wryly comic, . . . Bryant's examinations of thorny, contemporary relationships have docudrama punch, building as they do on sharp, harsh recognitions: a masterful portrait."
"For nearly twenty years, Berkeley novelist Dorothy Bryant has consistently and amazingly anticipated the events and issues of her time. . . .The Test offers the kind of fiercely wise observations we have come to expect of Bryant."
"The cutting incisiveness of the characterizations, the delicate balance between tragedy and humor, the entire tautness and clarity and the depths of feeling come through. . . . A vividly alive glimpse into the human condition."

Trio of Flames Earn All-League Honors; Bailey Named Horizon League Newcomer Of The Year
March 8, 2009
Chicago, Ill.- UIC freshman Jasmine Bailey was named the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year, highlighting a trio of Flames who took home postseason accolades on Sunday evening as awards were announced by the league office.
For the second straight year, junior Jessie Miller garnered All-Horizon League Second Team honors, while Bailey was joined by fellow rookie Shameia Green on the league's All-Newcomer Team.
"I am very proud to see our players recognized for their achievements, as it is a reflection of the accomplishments of our team," said head coach Lisa Ryckbosch.
Bailey is the just the third UIC player to be named the league's top newcomer, joining Kim Henry, who took home the award back in 2000, and Jackie Gray, the 1998 recipient.
The 5-foot-8 wing, who posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds in her collegiate debut, has been strong from start to finish this season, ranking first among Horizon League freshmen in scoring (10.6 ppg), rebounding (6.5 rpg), steals (1.6 spg) and field goal percentage (.494). Bailey leads UIC in rebounding and is second in scoring.
"Jasmine's ability to produce such consistent numbers as a freshman is a real credit to her competitiveness and determination," said Ryckbosch.
Miller takes home all-league honors for the third straight season. She was a 2007 Horizon League All-Newcomer Team member and has now earned a spot on the All-Horizon League Second Team in each of the last two seasons.
The 5-foot-8 guard has been the Flames' top all-around performer this year, leading the team in scoring (12.9 ppg), assists (2.8 apg), three-pointers made per game (1.6) and steals (1.9 spg), while rating fourth in rebounding (3.9 rpg).
"Jessie Miller has continued to do what she has done for our team since the day she arrived at UIC: play as hard as she can, and do anything and everything the team needs her to do in order for us to be successful," said Ryckbosch.
Green, a redshirt freshman and former prep teammate of Bailey, was thrust into the role of starting point guard when junior Briana Hinkle went down with a knee injury just seven games into the season. She flourished as the team's floor general, averaging 10.4 points and 3.5 assists as a starter.
"Due to injuries, Shameia has been forced to play a much bigger role, and has done so admirably," said Ryckbosch. "She has accepted that role with the maturity of a much more experienced player.
"What is most exciting about the recognition received by both Shameia and Jasmine, is their best basketball is yet to come," Ryckbosch continued. "Their contributions to our program have been invaluable, but as they continue to grow as players, they will get better and our team will get better."
Bailey, Miller and Green, as well as the rest of the Flames, will be back in action on Wednesday as they open play in the 2009 Speedway Horizon League Tournament at Cleveland State.
CO-PLAYERS OF THE YEAR:Traci Edwards (Milwaukee); Kailey Klein (Cleveland State)

Each winter since just after the dinosaurs stopped treading the earth, or trodding it, whatever it was they did, there has been the Super Bowl.
For the past 20 of those winters, to the dismay of poetry snobs, there has been Only A Game's Super Bowl Haiku.
And there still is, and in a sense, Super Bowl Haiku is growing. Now, don't worry. This year's edition is no longer than previous editions…but it features the work of more poets than ever.
First Team:
Snow on Mount Fuji
Perfection of nature's way
On field–not so much
–Tony O'Keeffe
Noisy Seahawks fans
May raise the roof, a ruckus,
Or Jimmy Hoffa.
–Bill Littlefield
Chris Christie points, shouts:
"Look, folks! Jersey! Super Bowl!
No bridge to see here."
–Bill Littlefield
Goodell and Putin
Big shots both, can only hope
For no snow…and snow.
–Bill Littlefield
Miami, Dallas,
New Orleans, Tampa, all hope
Outdoors doesn't work.
–Bill Littlefield
Washington sells pot.
And so does Colorado.
Smokin' Superbowl!
Odds? Okay, here's odds:
How about 4-1 that
Tebow's in an ad?
— Bill Littlefield
Sad Patriot's fan
Seeks same February two
For crying in beer
–Nancy Marks
I-I-I, Matey
The Sea will swallow them up
Whomever they are!
–Scott Suma
It's the Super Bowl?
I do not get reception
From under my rock.
–Stacy Casson
Wilson leads Seahawks.
It says "Wilson" on the ball.
Wait. Does that seem right?
–Bill Littlefield
"So, Peyton Manning,
You want one more Super Bowl?
Done," cackles Old Scratch.
–Bill Littlefield
"Eight," says Wilson. "Six."
"Twenty one," he says, and "five!"
Kaepernick says "Fore!"
–Bill Littlefield
Seattle winless
No titles, no rings, respect
Elusive as rain
–Rob Emslie
Fans loving long pass,
Caught in long fingers… cringing
At what happens next.
–Bill Littlefield
Bow your heads in prayer.
Please dear Lord, we beseech thee.
No more Super Bowl.
–Frizbane Manley
Half-chewed wings. Beer drips.
Smears of seven-layer dip.
The La-Z-Boy squirms.
— CW Hannenberg
Shrimp tails. Cocktail sauce.
Half-chewed wings with blue cheese dip.
Area rugs wince.
— CW Hannenberg
Super Bowl Haiku?
Sounds like a dumb idea.
I'll never do it.
–Koryn Dimock
Honorable Mention:
We had so many haiku submissions this year, we couldn't come close to including them all. Here's a few that just missed the final cut.
New York Super Bowl?
Not in this lifetime, buddy.
It's in New Jersey.
–Jersey Jim
It is the big day
A tremendous spectacle
Let it be over
–Susan Mariott
Snowy Meadowlands.
A commissioner's nightmare?
Nah; sell some more gloves.
–Adam Smartschan
Mannings ride in high,
At noon, songbirds tweet, wait scream,
Then scavengers feast.
–Zamir Nestelbaum
Seattle? Denver?
Where are the New York Teams now?
Hoffa rolls over.
–Michele DiPalo-Williams
our cold quiet field
has heard no Omahas yet
but it will, I hope
–Paul Strickland
Superbowl advice
Plan to leave early for game
Traffic may be bad.
–Scott Suma
Are you kidding me?
A Super Bowl in Jersey?
Forget about it!
–David W. Frank
Manning will freeze up
People of Indy know this
We've seen it before
–Lot Turner
N Y C wheedles
N F L capitulates
Super Bowl's frigid
A tip for the game:
Winning is not everything.
Lombardi was wrong.
–Scott Suma
Ocean or mountain
Flowing, not inflexible
Water erodes stone
–Deb Robarge
Sherman big mouth smack
Deep inferiority
Compensates big time
–Rob Emslie
Superbowl. Winter.
Landry and Vince would be proud
Ice Bowl two point oh
–Kelvin Brooks
The temperature drops.
Scalpers will take a beating.
–Kelvin Brooks
February? Whew!
We've got no time for football.
Give us more curling!
–Frizbane Manley
You want some trash talk?
None better than Broadway Joe.
"I guarantee it!"
Just one thing matters
And it's not the final score
Post game with Sherman
Seattle Seahawks
versus the Denver Broncos.
Heh, heh. Hash marks, dude.

Great Iowa!!
The only thing I'd think you might think a little more about is the scale. Weighing that often is gonna end up driving you nutz. Everyone's weight varies a lot during the day. You'll ALWAYS weigh less in the morning, even if you don't eat anything during the day. I don't know why, but in the 2 years I've been losing, I've seen it many many times. I'd suggest weighing yourself two or threeX/ week at most. You will be able to fine tune your diet and exersize more accurately that way.
Just my 0.02.
As of 1/13/03 -- 131-1/2# gone!!

Military Outreach Center Celebrates Service with Art Exhibit06/03/2013
Contact: Beverly James

Fax: 678-891-2966
Author: Beverly James
For Immediate Release
Lorretta Arrington had no trouble fitting into the United States Army, but the 16-year veteran wondered if there was a place for her in higher education.
"I enrolled at Georgia Perimeter College because I had always wanted to go to college, but I also wanted to serve my country and honor my father, who died in the Vietnam War," says Arrington, a GPC Clarkston civil engineering major. who recently won the Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association scholarship. "I chose GPC because it has a good reputation as a great place to start. The Military Outreach Center plays an invaluable role in making me realize that GPC is my school in my community and it's familiar."
Arrington and other veteran students will celebrate the Military Outreach Center at Georgia Perimeter on June 11 when the college unveils "American Scenes," an exhibit featuring the works of photographer Bruce Thomson. The reception will be 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in building CH 1300 on the Clarkston Campus.
"[The artist] came to the Military Outreach Center simply looking for a way to give back to veterans. His beautiful photographic art now graces the walls throughout the facility—17 incredible pieces that are representative of our great nation," said Mark Eister, director of the MOC. "This is another example of the incredible outpouring and giving spirit of people in our community who are giving back to our wonderful student veterans."
According to Arrington, the Military Outreach Center has been instrumental to her success at Georgia Perimeter. "The MOC is a great asset because it provides a getaway, a safe place with advisors, computers and people who understand me," she said. "We are not traditional students, and it helps to be around people who understand what you have been through. And the MOC staff shows me how to help new military students. It's a little community within the college."

Georgia Perimeter College, the largest state college of the University System of Georgia, serves approximately 24,000 students through four campuses and several sites in metro Atlanta. For additional information, visit www.gpc.edu.

At a Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) briefing, we had the following takeaways: Demand trends are positive, as expected at the beginning of the year. Q2 is expected to be in line with seasonal trends (H1 to be better than H2) and will also see the full contribution from Alti (30 million euro) and cross currency impact of ~100-150 bps.
TCS is seeing a broad-based recovery across verticals. In telecom, while TCS is winning deals due to penetration into newer areas, the underlying weakness continues. Among geographies, demand is led by a recovery in the US and increasing penetration in Europe. Smaller markets (like India) could show more volatile trends.
The company continues to maintain its operating margins in a stable range (constant currency), including the impact of Alti/promotions in the quarter. Q2 is likely to see tailwind of ~275-350 bps due to the sharp rupee depreciation q-o-q. TCS is looking to wait for the currency to stabilise, before reinvesting the gains either into the business or buy options to set a floor for the currency.
TCS has not seen price cuts from competitors to pass on currency benefits. Interest income will be likely lower (down ~R1 lakh crore q-o-q) due to large dividend payout. Management expects FX losses of ~R5.5-7 lakh crore in the quarter, largely attributed to the range options taken by the company (at ~50% of contracts now).
Management commentary on demand continues to point to good growth in FY14. R depreciation is an added tailwind that gives companies the leeway to invest in local hiring, competencies, and SG&A. We remain constructive on the sector.

The BES Express 5.0.1 product includes the same BlackBerry Web Desktop feature included with the full BES product, enabling users to manage their own handhelds, backup and restore data as well as configure message filters.
So what? Whilst the BES Express product does enable client devices to enjoy push email and PIM data synchronisation functionality on a BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) tariff, unless you have the more expensive BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) tariff, it is not possible to activate devices wirelessly using the Enterprise Activation feature. (http://ukblog.im-mobility.com/how-does-bes-wireless-activation-process-work).
This means that whilst it isn't possible for users to be remotely activated against a BES Express deployment over the air if they are on the cheaper BIS tariff, they can activate their devices remotely via their web browser by connecting their BlackBerry device to their PC via the supplied USB cable.
UPDATE - with the latest release of the BES Express product it is possible to use your BlackBerry smartphone on a BIS tariff. Whilst the Enterprise Activation feature won't be listed on the phone in the usual place, a separate application is available to download from the AppWorld which restores this functionality - http://ukblog.im-mobility.com/blackberry-enterprise-activation-bis-users
The BlackBerry Web Desktop is a web application hosted on the BES Express server itself by default, depending on the options you selected during the installation.
By default, any device can be activated by a user using the Web Desktop "wireline" activation feature. This behaviour is configured within the properties of the Administration Service component:
In order to access the site externally, TCP port 3443 must be open to the BES Express server, or the server hosting the BlackBerry Administration Service, on all firewalls between it and the Internet. If an alternate port was specified during the installation of the BES Express software, this port must be opened instead.
The Web Desktop is accessed via https://(bes_express_server):3443/webdesktop/login
As with the Administration Service, it can be accessed either via Active Directory or BlackBerry authentication mechanisms.
The web site itself is only accessible from Internet Explorer 6 or later, as Microsoft ActiveX components are required to enable device connectivity. When logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to install this component:
In order for the installation to be successful, the Web Desktop address should be added to the Trusted Sites security zone within the Internet Explorer options:
If the device communication components were not successfully installed you will receive notification that further setup is still required:
Add the site to the Trusted Sites and refresh the browser window, you will then be prompted to install the component:
This component can be optionally installed on all PCs in a domain automatically via Group Policy if desired, read the Administrator Guide for more information.
If Active Directory authentication is enabled, any AD users can theoretically access the site, but if not added to the BES as a user, they will not be able to access any BES-related functionality:
Once the device components have been installed, provided that the user is enabled for BlackBerry service, they will be prompted to connect their device to their PC:
Once connected, the new hardware will be detected automatically:
The device will then be associated with the user automatically:
And the PIN number will be displayed:
If a BlackBerry handheld is already associated with the user account, the option of switching to their new device will be given:
The activation process is now complete.
For more information on the functionality available in the Web Desktop application, read this article - http://ukblog.im-mobility.com/bes-50-web-desktop-manager

Commercial Liability Insurance Quote
Get a FREE Commercial Business Insurance Quote Today!
Every sized enterprise needs commercial business insurance coverage to ensure they have the proper protection against the risks they face as part of daily operations. Finding the right commercial insurance policy can be a time consuming process, which most entrepreneurs don't have time to deal with. Fortunately, there is a better way to find the protection your company needs.
The easiest, fastest, and most convenient way to get commercial insurance quotes is to use NetQuote, the leading online insurance aggregator service. By providing you with FREE, no-obligation quotes from multiple carriers, NetQuote helps you find the plans you are looking for, with the coverages you need, without wasting your time.
Commercial Liability Insurance Types
Commercial indemnity companies can provide you with a variety of coverage types to meet the needs of your particular situation. Whether you need just a basic policy to cover your small business, or you need specialized policies to supplement a basic liability and property policy, there is a provider with a plan just for you. Here are some examples of different coverage types:
- Workers Compensation - If you have employees, then you are required to carry workers compensation insurance, which pays out if an employee is injured while working for you. This coverage is required in most states, with some exceptions depending on certain circumstances.
- Commercial Auto Insurance - Commercial auto insurance provides comprehensive, collision and liability protection for vehicles used by your operation. This policy covers vehicle operation by employees during the normal course of business. Most times, if a personal vehicle is used for company purposes, a commercial vehicle policy is required.
- BOP - A business owner policy, or BOP, is a plan that combines many popular policy types, such as property and small business liability insurance coverage. By purchasing a combined policy, you generally save money. Many small businesses (such as a one-person operations) will have sufficient protection with a business owner policy. Of course, there are small operations that will need additional, specialized coverage.
- Product Liability Coverage - For companies that are involved in any part of bringing goods to market, including the manufacturing, distribution, and sale, need to have a product liability insurance policy. Anytime the use of a product can result in physical or bodily damage, property liability coverage should be in place
Commercial insurance companies offer other types of policies that you may need, depending on the type of operation you have. These include professional liability coverage, general commercial liability insurance policies, and fidelity and surety bonds.
It is always a wise idea to check with a business insurance agent that is familiar with your type of business so that they can examine your coverage needs. This allows you to compare commercial insurance rates to find the best combination of coverage and cost to ensure your operation is fully covered. After all, the last thing any business owner will want to do is find themselves in a situation where they don't have sufficient protection.

The easiest way to find the right agent to help you figure out your company's coverage needs is to request free commercial insurance quotes via the Internet. You will quickly hear back from multiple providers, allowing you to easily do a commercial general liability insurance cost comparison with a minimum of effort on your part.

UBS Foundation supports Swiss Nano-Cube
The UBS Foundation for Social Issues and Education is supporting the Internet-based technology platform Swiss Nano-Cube with 150,000 Swiss francs.
Swiss Nano-Cube was founded in 2009 by the Innovation Society St. Gallen and the Swiss Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology. The aim in creating this platform was to arouse interest in nanotechnology among professionals and teaching staff and to improve advanced training and vocational education programs. The project has since grown to become a platform of information for technical schools, high schools and vocational schools across Switzerland.
In order to secure ongoing financing for the project, the UBS Foundation for Social Issues and Education has granted it 150,000 francs within the scope of the UBS training initiative to support it over a period of three years.
The check was presented at the beginning of July at the Innovation Society's headquarters in St. Gallen. During the symbolic handover of the check, Rainer Kirchhofer, Managing Director of the UBS Foundation for Social Issues and Education, said: "We are impressed with the way Swiss Nano-Cubes brings nano-technology closer to young people and introduces relevant education and training. It is in line with the UBS education initiative, whose goal it is to establish and link-up knowledge for the future and the business location Switzerland. This is the reason why we are happy to support such a great project."

John Deere is a name famous world-wide for manufacturing tractors and other farm equipment. John Deere, the man, first made his mark in 1837 when he used a discarded circular saw blade to fashion a steel plow. Previously, plows had required frequent sharpening and the cultivated soils all seemed to stubbornly cling to the tilling implements. Deere's innovation solved both plow problems. The Deere steel plows efficiently held a sharp edge and the slick polished sides of the plows were much more efficient at shedding dirt. Bystanders could often be aware that a farmer was using a Deere plow by the distinctive "singing" (actually more like a whine) emitted as the steel cut through America's farmland. One of Deere's earliest plows (1838) is on display at the Smithsonian.
An MIT student and an Army Ranger (different from a Power Ranger) have combined efforts to construct a 3 inch diameter bouncing ball that contains six recessed lenses. The spheres can be tossed into buildings, etc., allowing the gadgets to send out visual images as well as info regarding temperatures, air-borne toxins, radiation levels and other potential hazards. The devices are intended to aid in situations involving burning buildings, hostages or structures possibly occupied by terrorists. The balls' coverings are resilient and durable, enabling the devices to be thrown hundreds of feet without sustaining incapacitating damage. The anticipated price is $500 per.
In Poland, there is a radio tower that was completed in 1935. The Gliwice (also "Gleitwitz") tower is 387 feet tall. The soaring structure is made of wood and has proven to be remarkably stable. The Nazis controlled the tower (and the nearby radio broadcast building) during most of WWII. The tower's destruction was often contemplated, but never executed. Well, feel free to knowledgably visit a local farmer and sing along with his plows. Have a great week.

Fern Britton has taken to Twitter to deny she's been snubbed by 'This Morning' bosses as the show prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary on the box - the day after Phillip Schofield said he'd 'love' her to take part.
Yesterday it was reported that Fern - who presented the ITV daytime show between 2002 and 2009 with Phillip - had not been invited back because of a rift with her former co-host.
Fern Britton
But Fern has hit back at the rumours on Twitter, stating that she simply isn't available.
"Please don't believe what you read in the papers re This Mornings 25 years," she tweeted. "I can't be there in person due to work but I'll be there on vid!"
Please don't believe what you read in the papers re This Mornings 25 years. I can't be there in person due to work but I ll be there on vid!
— FernBritton (@Fern_Britton) September 26, 2013
And despite admitting that he is no longer in touch with Fern, Phillip also took to Twitter to state that he would love to see her taking part in the anniversary show.
He tweeted: "For the record, I would dearly love Fern to be part of our anniversary celebrations. Don't believe everything you read."
For the record, I would dearly love Fern to be part of our anniversary celebrations. Don't believe everything you read.
— Phillip Schofield (@Schofe) September 25, 2013
Earlier this year, Phil - who presents the ITV show with Holly Willoughby - hinting of a rift with his former co-presenter.
Asked during an interview with Heat magazine if they still speak, he said: "No, not really. We were involved in the show and mates at the time, but we don't really...
"I see Phil [Fern's husband, chef Phil Vickery] when he's in 'This Morning'... But we're not in touch now."
Phil with Fern on her last show in July 2009
Fern was said to be livid when she discovered Phil was being paid three times her £15,000-a-show salary for their show 'All Star Mr & Mrs'.
And she chose her words about Phillip very carefully during an interview with the Daily Mail in May.
"I always say Phillip and I had an indefinable chemistry which seemed to work well on-screen. We 'got' each other. We enjoyed a laugh. And viewers seemed to warm to that," she said.
"But, like Morecambe and Wise, we chose not to live in each other's pockets. We were a great professional partnership but we never went on holiday together," she said.
"I never discussed with Phillip what he and I were earning. I was happy doing the show and happy with my salary."
'I'm absolutely fine,' Kerry slurred in her now infamous 'This Morning' interview at the height of her addiction issues. Millions of viewers disagreed.
Will the phrase 'dunking beef' ever NOT be hilarious? Not to these two it won't. A 'This Morning' classic.
Rent-a-gob Katie Hopkins (formerly known as someone who didn't win 'The Apprentice') got much of the nation into a right old tizz when she went on the show to bang on about her 'theory' that children's names are linked to class. Holly Willoughby, meanwhile, looked like she was readying herself for a full-on scrap.
Phillip Schofield was talking bollocks, literally when 'This Morning' helped raise awareness of testicular cancer on the show. Cue some geezer strolling onto the set and demonstrating how to check for the signs on his own, very real scrotum. No wonder guest Lizzie Cundy couldn't stop staring.
Fern Britton hit the headlines and was accused of 'cheating' when it was revealed her five-stone weight loss was the result of a secret op to have a gastric band fitted and not good old fashioned diet and exercise. Cue a live confessional from the presenter in 2008.
Never let it be said that chef Gino D'ACampo isn't a man of his word. After saying he would strip off and cook naked if 'This Morning' won a National TV Award (it did) he got his kit off to cook sausages. Ok, that's a fib. It was actually a gammon dish (shame) but well done that man.
Fact: There is no video evidence on YouTube of Richard Madeley impersonating Ali G on the show in 2000. Coincidence? We think not. Luckily we've unearthed this non-moving image of him instead and it's still toe-curlingly cringy over a decade later.
David Cameron is confronted by presenter Phillip Schofield on ITV's This Morning with a list of names of politicians he says may be involved in child abuse. Only problem is, the Schof accidentally flashes the names to camera. Ooops.
After a ten minute discussion around the sensitive subject of gender reassignment, transexual (and 'Celebrity Big Brother' star) Lauren Harries decided to pop on a pair of specs, stand up and... well, fast forward to the 8min 50sec part of this clip to find out what she did that resulted in her being banned from the show.
What to do if you end up winning a National Television Award but have work the next morning. Well, get sloshed and worry about the consequences later if you're (a very croaky) Holly and Phil. We felt their pain.
Not content with streaking across the weather map (remember that?), the streaker in question then returned to the show and proceeded to trump on live telly. Nice. Phillip Schofield (wisely) chose to ignore the bottom burp and ploughed on through the interview. What a trooper!
Knife throwing + live telly = asking for trouble, as Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton (and the poor woman stood against the board) found out in this hair-raising episode of 'This Morning' from 2003. Mind you, it could have been far, far worse. Brrrrrr.
OAPs demonstrating sexual positions on live telly. That is all.
After thirteen years of presenting the show, orginal hosts Richard and Judy bid farewell to the housewives, mums, students and unemployed of Britain for one final time. Not enought tears for our liking, mind.
There is absolutely nothing funny about the word 'Uranus'. Honestly, there really isn't. Well, apart from the fact it sounds like 'your anus', isn't that right Phil and Fern? Which might explain why Fern refuses to even pronounce it correctly in this very giggly clip.
A career high for presenter Paul Ross came when he agreed to have a rectal examination on the show. Somehow, we can't see his brother, Jonathan, agreeing to some bloke sticking their finger up his bottom on live TV.
It's her again, only this time Katie Hopkins is giving her ten penneth worth on why it's ok to miss your children's birthdays before turning on fellow guest Shona Sibary, who Katie says is akin to 'being shouted at by a lemon' when she disagrees with her POV. How terribly grown up, Katie.
Eamonn Holmes caused a bit of upset when he asked female sex addict, Crystal Warren, why she hadn't turned to prostitution after she admitted she'd bedded over 1000 men. "If you need this five or six times a day, have you never thought about making a business of it? Charging for it?" Eamonn enquired. "I mean if you are not particularly selective, what I'm saying is, why wouldn't it be a business to you?" he added, before settling down into the large pit he'd just excavated.
We always thought Ruth Langsford was too mumsy and nice to say the 'F' word, but she was caught doing just that off camera during one show, thinking her mic wasn't on. Fast forward to the following day's show and Ruth issuing an apology for F'ing up.
Meanwhile, Ruth's hubby and co-host Eamonn Holmes was forced to issue an apology after calling a guest 'retarted'. And we should jolly well think so too.
Blimey, all Holly said was she had a 'mouthful of beef' and it was enough to cause her and co-host Phillip Schofield (and us) to descend into a fit of uncontrolable giggles. Teehee.
Who knew that Holly Willoughby was such a scaredy cat? Well, the entire nation did after witnessing Holly bursting into tears and walking out of a section on the show about ghosts.
Never mind a good luck card and a bottle of fizz, Fern Britton got a garden bench and a song from Michael blinkin' Ball when she left the show.
'Hollyoaks' star Kieron Richardson came out as gay to the nation on the 'This Morning' sofa in 2010. Good for you lad.
There are all sorts of childish things we could say about Holly Willoughby being covered in cream but we'll resist. Instead, let's just have a good old giggle at what Holly herself describes as her most embarrassing 'This Morning' moment ever.

AT&T Invested More Than $725 Million In Kansas From 2009 Through 2012 To Enhance Speeds, Reliability And Performance For Customers
Expanded 4G LTE Coverage, New Cell Sites and Boosted Capacity Drive Improved Customer Experience
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* invested more than $725 million in its Kansas wireless and wireline networks from 2009 through 2012, with a focus on expanding 4G LTE mobile Internet coverage and enhancing the overall performance of its networks.**
AT&T has made more than 250 wireless network upgrades in six key categories in Kansas during 2012, including activating new cell sites, adding capacity, upgrading cell sites to provide fast 4G LTE mobile Internet speeds, deploying high-capacity Ethernet connections to cell sites, and adding or upgrading Distributed Antenna Systems, which boost wireless coverage and capacity in buildings and at major venues like convention halls or sports arenas.
"Across Kansas, this robust investment in the AT&T wireless and wireline networks is important to spurring the economy and creating jobs. In our wireless world, mobile and broadband networks help create economic opportunities for health care, manufacturing, education, transportation and public safety and virtually every other economic sector," said Steve Hahn, President, AT&T Kansas.
AT&T launched 4G LTE in the Wichita area in July 2012 and the Kansas City area in November 2011. AT&T 4G LTE is the latest generation of wireless network technology and provides faster mobile Internet speeds and improved performance on a variety of mobile smartphones and tablets.
The AT&T 4G LTE network has been nationally recognized for its speed and coverage. AT&T 4G LTE delivered faster average download speeds than any of the competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests, and telecommunications industry analyst firm Frost and Sullivan awarded AT&T its North American Mobile Network Strategy Award for the second year in a row in 2012.
"AT&T has been an excellent partner in helping to strengthen our Kansas economy," said Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle. "Their continued investment in broadband internet in Kansas will help us grow jobs in our high-speed economy."
"We know our customers depend on us for fast, reliable mobile Internet connections at home, work and everywhere in between," said Nancy Garvey, AT&T vice president general manager for the Greater Midwest Region. "Delivering for our Kansas customers is a top priority and our ongoing investment here is designed to deliver a superior mobile Internet experience, encompassing speed, coverage and reliability."
Planned Investment to Expand Reach of Wireless and Wired Broadband
AT&T recently launched Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment initiative to expand and enhance its wireless and wireline IP broadband networks. As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to increase the density of its wireless network by deploying more than 10,000 macro sites, more than 1,000 distributed antenna systems, and more than 40,000 small cells. Through this initiative, we also plan to:

We have a system where data is partitioned by date. So for example in SqlServer we have one database per month of data. Each month partition uses a Jdbc driver Datasource wrapped in a C3P0 connection pool DataSource.
After a period of time the date range of the partition becomes old enough that we want to offline it. In that case we just remove the relevant month's DataSource from the available list. However, ideally, when offlining I would like to "close" the DataSource so the pool relinquishes all connections to the DB.
DataSource has no close method for me to call so I'm not sure how to clean this up.
Any suggestions?

Steven tries to butter Michelle up and convince her to use the POV on him. She says she'll think about it. He also reminds Ollie, April, and Keesha that they all hate Libra and so they should keep him in the house instead.
Jerry and Renny confront Libra about the comments she made in regards to them holding their team back when it came winning the food competition. Libra denies it at first, and then finally admits to it. Later on, Jerry comes in her room and Libra is crying. Jerry tells her he doesn't have hard feelings, but Libra is still pissed that the fight took place before she had all her clothes on. She tells Jesse that she almost got kicked out for the fight with Jerry. She was under the assumption that they were going to get rid of Brians team first, which was Angie, Steven, and Dan. According to Jesse, Brian was aligned with Dan, Jerry, and Steven – not Angie.
Libra warns April to be careful not to say too much to Michelle because it will automatically tell Jesse. April doesn't think Angie is a part of their alliance. Michelle reassures Memphisthat she won't use the PoV. Memphis says he wishes they could get rid of Jerry. Jerry thinks Jessie has all the power in the house and that Ollie and April are only there to get it on. Speaking of…
the showmance, Meanwhile, in the room next door, April and Ollie make out, April says she doesn't want to be just another showmance and asks Ollie to not use her.April makes mention that they are one of the first biracial couples on reality TV and hopes that when they get out Ollie will ask her to be his girlfriend,but Ollie prefers to use the term "girl."
Important facts learned about the houseguests today:
*Ollie talks about being Pentecostal, and how growing up he had very strict rules. *April spent her 30th birthday on house arrest because of a DUI. *Libra's ex-husband cheated on her. *Jerry had bypass surgery 11 years ago, but has his health under contol now.

Portland, Oregon---Once people go to the annual LPGA stop in the Portland, Oregon metro area, they continue to go back for years. In my opinion, the LPGA stop in Portland each summer is Oregon's best sporting event to attend. It also is approaching its 50th anniversary in three years. But will we see the 50th anniversary?
Just a little about the event if you are new to Oregon or have never gone. You can get in free, you can get many free gifts from vendors, you can park at the front door, you can chat with the players, who actually smile and you will see some great golf. You will also see plenty of charities very happy, with big checks given to them each year from Tournament Golf Foundation.
Now for the bad part. As of now, long time sponsor Safeway has not renewed to be the title sponsor in 2013 and they appear to be in no hurry to do so. The name for 2013 has gone from Safeway Classic, to "Portland Classic, presented by Safeway". Presented can mean many things in the wacky world of sports business. And do not knock Safeway, they have given so much time and effort to this event for years.
Not only does the tournament not have a title sponsor, it also as of now does not have a golf course. Nothing officially has been reached to return the LPGA event to Pumpkin Ridge in North Plains, Oregon, where the tournament has been held since 2009, after a long run at legendary Columbia-Edgewater on the Columbia River in North Portland.
Even scarier, when you go to lpga.com, not only is no golf course for 2013 talked about, you can't buy tickets as of now and it just seems like there is a cloud hanging overhead.
This I can tell you with 100 percent certainty. The group that puts on the LPGA Tour stop in Oregon, Tournament Golf Foundation can only be described as total class. They work like crazy, to help so many charities, to bring Oregon not only a great golf event, but now an iconic sporting event. Even though I am worried cause of the importance of this event to so many people, my strong feeling is these great men and women of TGF will get this figured out for 2013.
I can also tell you, sources have told me that the event has been "unofficially" shopped around to other golf venues in the Portland, Oregon area to host for 2013. No title sponsor, no golf course to play, it does mean something on February 10th, for a major sports event which is coming up a little over six months away. Is it time to panic? No. Is there concern? If not, there sure should be.
My thinking is this year will work, but I really want to be present at the 50th anniversary of this sports legend. And I might not get the chance, unless things start to move more quickly. I wish everyone the best on this, cause everyone associated with this event including fans deserve it.

Ranked #1 Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Your child will be medically evaluated when he or she comes to the ER. Even if your child's condition seems primarily psychiatric in nature, he or she must be medically evaluated first to rule out any conditions that may be confused with a psychiatric issue.
Once your child has been medically evaluated, he or she will be seen by one of our team members for a psychiatric evaluation. Both you and your child will be interviewed separately. Often, we provide crisis stabilization in the ER.
After your child is evaluated, we will make treatment recommendations and facilitate aftercare that may include inpatient and outpatient care. Aftercare may include care provided at Children's or at another mental health facility.
Boston Children's is not an authorized psychiatric care site for some insurance companies. Please check ahead of time to make sure your plan covers a visit to the Emergency Psychiatry Service for your child. You can do this by:
calling 617-355-6369 to reach Boston Children's psychiatric clinician-on-call or
calling the phone number on the back of your insurance card
Before bringing your child to the Boston Children's Hospital ER for a mental health crisis, please be sure to check ahead of time to make sure your insurance plan covers a visit by calling us at 617-355-6369, and asking for the psychiatric clinician-on-call, you can:
verify whether your insurance covers psychiatric services at Boston Children's
potentially access crisis evaluation services outside the ER, thereby avoiding a lengthy ER visit
We will never deny a child emergency psychiatry care when they come to Boston Children's. However, once stabilized, children without insurance coverage here will be referred to another hospital or psychiatric treatment facility where he or she will be covered.
You may also determine whether your insurance plan covers a visit to the Emergency Psychiatry Service for your child by calling the phone number on the back of your insurance card.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

ADVICE: I'm 25 and live with my parents. I feel ashamed. Should I?
Anon wrote:
I'm 25 and live with my parents. I feel ashamed. Should I?
Probably. I mean, there is probably something you should feel ashamed about, but I am not sure it's this. I am not sure you're asking the right question, though. Depending on why you are still living at home (or back home, as the case may be) better questions might be:
When will I move out? Do I like living here? If not, how can I move out and when? etc etc.
Why are you at home? Did you ever leave? How long do you plan to stay? Are you helping around the house? Paying for anything?
Sometimes people have to move back home. I dropped out of college, having nearly lost my mind living in Eugene, Oregon, which is pretty much the end of the world. I moved back home for a few months and then moved out. Here's a story about that. Sometimes shame is a useful emotion if it will motivate you to change. Shame is an alarm. Listen to it, do something, then shut it off.
I don't think you need to feel shame unless you've moved back home and you are not making yourself useful. If you don't appreciate your parents' generosity, you aren't pulling your weight around the house, you aren't looking for work, and you're not making progress toward some goal (which includes moving out and being independent), then yeah, be ashamed.
I used to be more staunch about people not moving back home. I sort of still am. But then I think of places like Italy, where kids still frequently live with their parents until they get married. I think Lena Dunham still lives at home.
Why do you feel shame? I don't think it's useful. What do you want instead? I would focus on that rather than the shame. Shame and pity are the worst emotions. Do what you can to eliminate them. And unless you're a really awful person, you are too young for shame. Be useful and kind - to yourself and others - and you won't feel shame wherever you live.

Where do you get this wisdom?
Are you a therapist on the side? Or, do you just play one on the Interweb?

You have found your calling. Keep dishing out the excellent advice. More than just your advice being good, you say it well.

I moved out of my parents' house about 2 weeks after my 18th birthday, and I haven't been back for more than a week at a time in the past ... could it be 14 years?
I think if you get along with your parents enough to live with them, count your blessings that you have a supportive family that you get along with. Will some people think you are pathetic for living at home? Absolutely they will, and if you agree, that's when you know you should move out.

Awesome advice. I really liked how you said to do something about it then turn off the shame feeling, that hit me right upside the head because I have felt bad about things, done something to fix the situation but kept on feeling bad long after so I'm going to use this advice too!
- July 1, 2012 at 8:17 PM
I think you should only ever feel shame for actions that hurt people, not for the situations you find yourself in.
- July 6, 2012 at 11:45 AM
- Cathy Schwartz said...
Well, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of living with your parents. If you think you're comfortable living with them, then so be it. However, living independently is also a great experience. You'll discover a lot about yourself, as you go about and try to do things on your own. Either way, it all comes down to you. Good luck!

Must You Pay Your Employees for Civic and Charitable Work?
Before you send that next email or memo requiring employees' presence at a charitable event, don't, unless you want to pay employees for their time.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, which means that businesses all over the country will be sponsoring events to combat this disease that has touched so many.
If your non-exempt employees are attending one of your charitable events, however, do you have to pay them for their time? It's no surprise that the answer is, "It depends."
The Fair Labor Standards Act's regulations [pdf] differentiate between required time and volunteered time for time spent serving a public or charitable purpose.
- If the employee's time spent at the civil or charitable event is at the employer's request, it is compensable hours worked and must be paid.
- If the time spent is under the employer's direction or control, it is compensable hours worked.
- If the time spent is while the employee is required to be on the premises, it is compensable hours worked.
- If, however, the employee voluntarily chooses to spend his or her time outside normal working hours at the event, then it is not compensable hours worked and can be unpaid.
And, keep in mind that if the compensable time is in excess of 40 hours in a workweek, it must be paid at time and a half.
Before you send that next email or memo requiring employees' presence at a charitable event, don't, unless you want to pay employees for their time. If you are otherwise soliciting attendees, make sure you make it clear that their attendance is 100 percent voluntary to avoid having to pay employees for their time.

-- Florida State's Jameis Winston, Alabama's AJ McCarron and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel are among the five finalists for the Walter Camp player of the year award.
Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch and Boston College running back Andre Williams are the other finalists for the award presented by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
Winston is the leading contender for the Heisman Trophy, but he has also been accused of a sexual assault and been under investigation by law enforcement in Florida. Prosecutors announced Wednesday that a decision on whether to charge Winston in the case will be announced Thursday.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o won the Walter Camp player of the year award last year.

When Carrie Ann Carroll isn't helping SpareFoot customers find storage, you might find her trying to tell the truth through her music.
Carroll, a member of SpareFoot's Amazing Customer Experience (ACE) Team, is an aspiring singer/songwriter who's just released her first full-length CD, "You Should Know." A release party for the 11-song CD is set for March 8 in Austin.
Carroll describes herself as a folk singer/songwriter whose music is laced with country, rock and pop influences. But don't expect her to be belting out a bouncy tune like Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me Maybe." Carroll said her music follows the "three chords and the truth" philosophy.
"Writing songs has always been cathartic for me. I usually write a lot when I'm sad. I have a lot of songs about being hurt or disappointed by relationships. I am definitely more drawn toward dark subject matter," she said.
I don't ever want to write a song because I think it's going to be well-liked.
— Carrie Ann Carroll
Indeed, one of the tunes on the CD is titled "Murder." Not surprisingly, it's a tale of betrayal.
Carroll acknowledged she likes "mindless" pop songs, but she said she'll never write one. Those kinds of tunes just don't fuel her creativity.
"For me, it's easier to sing about my emotions than to talk about them," she said. "I really like it when some one tells me one of my songs made them cry. Not in an evil kind of way—I just like that sort of emotional reaction."
"I am much more interested in the story of the song than the architecture of the music," Carroll added. "That's why I'm always drawn to folk and classic country. It's really all about telling a story and connecting with people. That is what music is to me."
While music has been a lifelong obsession, Carroll said she didn't start writing songs until she was a student at Kean University in New Jersey.
"I started learning a few chords and other people's songs on guitar," she said. "I used to skip class and just play songs all day. Soon after that, I wrote my first song, and I have probably written over a hundred since then. I hope I never stop."
Musicians who've inspired Carroll include Joe Ely, Guy Clark, Steve Poltz, Amanda Shires, Holly Williams, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and Hank Williams.
"I don't necessarily write like them, or want to. It's their fearlessness that inspires me," she said. "I don't ever want to write a song because I think it's going to be well-liked. I just want to be sincere, honest and fearless. I'm working on it."
Carrie Carroll's CD release party will be at 4 p.m. March 8 at Austin's Strange Brew Lounge Side, 5326 Manchaca Road. She'll be performing with a full band. All ages are welcome. Admission is $10 a person, which includes a free copy of "You Should Know."
For more information about the CD release party, visit strangebrewloungeside.com.
To buy the CD, visit iTunes at http://goo.gl/rjz3Hi. The CD also is available through other online retailers and at Austin's Waterloo Records.

The "The O.C" start Rachel Bilson is well known for her role as "Summer Roberts". Well known among the Teenage Populice, she won the award from "Choice Hottie".
Her fiancee Adam Brody who was also her co-star gave her a Pit Bull for her birthday. The two of them grew so attached to it, that they now share custody over "Penny" even though they are no longer together.
Contrary to popular perception, Pit Bulls feel pain just like any other dog. Breeders have tried to make the dog ignore pain or discomfort in order to get the job done, and this is the reason why some people think they feel no pain.
They don't "Lock their Jaws" either.
Ranked as number 2 on the For Him Magazine (FHM) list of the 100 sexiest women in the world, Jessica Biel is also a brilliant actress starring in Summer Catch as well as the long running TV Series – 7th Heaven.
It turns out that she's devotedly attached to her young friend Tina, a pitbull. She been photographed so many times with her, that it's no wonder her arms look really strong!
Pit Bulls suffer from an unjustified reputation for extreme aggression, and there are several myths regarding them. While it is true that they have historically been bred to be fighting dogs, and have the ability to ignore pain and try and complete their task regardless, they are just like any other dog, and are primarily a product of their environment.
It becomes a self perpetuating myth that they are aggressive, and media reports don't help either.
It's a great victory for natural justice. When football superstar Michael Vick pleaded guilty to running a dog fighting operation, 50 pit bulls were condemned to die.
However, instead of going by the stereotype of pit bulls, judge Henry E. Hudson decided that each dog will be individually evaluated, to decide it's temperament. On evaluation, only one had to be put to sleep, as it was deemed irredeemably aggressive.
A real ray of hope for those believe in a second chance!
Hector and Johnny, two pit bulls rescued, muzzle each other in the picture.

Chris Brown, the R'n'B star is the proud owner of Diamond, the Blue American Pitbull. This is a brave and determined dog breed; that can get hostile if provoked.

What is a Changing Table?
A changing table, also known as a changing station, forms a part of the baby furniture collection. The top of the table has space for a changing mat where you can place your baby when you're changing their diaper, and below are compartments such as shelves or drawers where you can store changing accessories like diapers, wipes, cotton wool, change of clothes, rash cream, and more.
What Factors Should you Keep in Mind When Selecting a Changing Table?
Some of the things you may wish to consider before buying such a table includes:
- The height of the table – you may want to opt for a table that is at a height comfortable for you when you change your baby's diaper. A table which is too high and causes you to reach up can be uncomfortable, and a table which is too low can literally be a pain in the back.
- The storage options of the table – you may want to check if the table has adequate storage facilities so that you can store everything you need for a diaper change within easy reach.
- The size of the table – you may want to check the amount of space you have in the nursery in order to buy a table of the right size.
Organize all the accessories you require to change your baby's diapers in one place with a changing table. Browse the entire collection at Sam's Club and find one that can best meet your needs.
