We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
If you want to be driven wild with excitement, then why check out live gals when you can get fantasy sluts at Dirty XXX Comics!
The reason I enjoy cartoons, like DirtyXXXComics, is they can totally stimulate your imagination and drive you a lot further than regular porn sites. Of course, they'd have to be good toons, so I guess I'll soon find out whether or not this site is worth my and your precious time.
First off, there is a huge amount of bonuses with your membership. The members' page design isn't as great as I'd expect from an artistic site. Moroever, the organization is simply a list of set after set of comics. Although you really can't beat the fact that you receive another 11 extra sites, including Illustrated XXX Stories. The other sites, however, are live action babes, so you'll have to like them as well.
Currently, there are 255 comics, which is quite a solid number. There are about 19 pictures per comic and each consists of one to three panels or larger grids depending on the style of the comic. There are black and white and color illustrations and I was impressed with the artwork.
However, many of the comics were rather bland when it came to the art in my opinion and some of the work seemed to be from inexperienced artists. However, there are different styles to choose. It would have been great to know the illustrators' names, but few comics had splash pages.
I enjoyed the narratives from the three comics I read and the images were large and clear regular-res ones. Certainly, I can think of better comics than this site has to offer, but there are a lot of them to choose and even better is all the bonuses you receive with your membership to Dirty XXX Comics. However, the price tag is more expensive than it should be and the content is nonexclusive.
* 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.

You may turn to protein powder for convenience, but such products do not provide a biological advantage over complete protein sources that are available in your local supermarket (regardless of what the bodybuilding supplement pushers claim). If you need a protein powder for convenience or portability, I suggest avoiding whey protein powder and using an egg based product instead, since whey protein powders have been said to contain MSG, which may be cancer-causing, and most whey protein powders also add other dangerous artificial sweeteners and additives to their products. Since MSG is often a byproduct of whey protein powder, I suggest using egg based products instead (not to mention you can pay less for egg protein, while avoiding MSG or the additional additives many whey powders contain).
I can recommend a specific egg based protein powder that I personally use for convenience and portability, as the product contains no artificial sweeteners or additives of any kind, and is farm fresh. But please remember that no protein powder is superior to complete protein foods such as chicken, fish, etc (the potency is identical), and should only be used for convenience or portability.
One of the biggest misconceptions in bodybuilding is that certain overpriced protein powders offer a more potent form of nutrients, and thus bodybuilders find themselves spending far more than necessary for protein powder simply because a company claims their product is slower digesting, or offers a higher biological value, when per gram, their protein powder is no more effective than any complete protein food, or egg protein powder. Beware of this false advertising gimmick claiming superior potency, which is used by bodybuilding supplement companies to try and rank their protein powder above the competition.
The egg protein powder I use works very well for me, and in fact, I received an email message from Mike Dunning (his MuscleNOW success story is printed in the muscle building testimonial) section, as he tried a recipe I sent him for an egg powder shake, and his quote follows:
Another customer says:
Lastly, a customer of mine named Craig Leonard wrote the following:
You should avoid ALL protein powders that contain additives or artificial sweetening (such as aspartame, sucralose, splenda, Acesulfame K, which is also called Acesulfame Potassium, etc) due to their adverse impact on health, and use egg protein powder to avoid potential health issues with whey supplements (if you own the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program, you will learn of my specific egg protein powder recommendations, and can email me anytime with questions).
Remember, you will gain muscle mass by using a potent weight training workout plan and bodybuilding diet routine, with NO supposed band-aid (such as protein powder supplementation) serving as a valid substitute. I have achieved tremendous success (over 60 lbs of muscle mass gained), and am now teaching men and women around the world how to produce natural results through my MuscleNOW bodybuilding program. Will you be next?

Bromance is alive and well in Guy Ritchie's rather popular adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective Sherlock Holmes. This is a big, slick studio production with its mind on franchise potential, and Ritchie (Snatch) remains one of the few head-banging hipsters in the Quentin Tarantino mold still skulking around the dark alleys of pulpy neo-noirville.
And, yes, Robert Downey Jr. trades quips and quibbles with an astute and reliable Jude Law as Dr. Watson, so there are levels of intrigue beyond the shiny surface.
Lest we forget, though, Holmes and Watson could be considered a pair of bromantic forefathers. Granted, in the past the high-octane violence might not have been a staple of the genre, but these two were as close as close could be. A mannered mix of humor and affection always existed between them and would only be questioned when taken out of context. And context, to some extent, is key to appreciating what Ritchie has done with things here.
Holmes, in what everyone involved hopes is the ground floor of a triplex at the very least, quite thoughtfully explains, blow by blow, a series of well-executed moves that will subdue a thuggish combatant as part of a daring attempt to prevent the nefarious Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong, who with a little more to work with, could have rivaled Alan Rickman in Die Hard as a classy and dangerously engaging villain) from sacrificing a hapless victim while on the way to securing hellish domination over the earth.
Thwarting the plan was an anticipated ruse in Blackwood's even grander scheme to instill fear in the hearts of the early Londoners and reclaim the independent American states.
All of which takes a backseat to the personal dynamic between Holmes, caught in a bit of a pickle involving a former criminal-minded lover (Rachel McAdams) returned to bedevil him, and Watson, who is on the verge of engagement to Mary Morstan (Kelly Reilly), a sharp-minded governess with a sound understanding of the relationship between the two men.
In fact, the would-be Mrs. Watson is the most modern and aware character here because — although she isn't privy to the action as we are — she sees Holmes and Watson as we do, and it would seem that she might be able to co-exist alongside them quite nicely. McAdams' crafty tart might be a more prominently featured element in the action set pieces, but she's a one-trick show pony and no threat to the chemistry between Holmes and Watson, which also means she has no real future in the franchise.
It could be argued that Ritchie doesn't want audiences to become too comfortable with the familiar bromantic paradigm. Looming a bit awkwardly over the matter of preventing Blackwood from taking over the world like the forefather of one of Bond's antagonists is the presence of Professor Moriarty, the true opposite to Holmes, who is likely to step into a more central role in the next installment.
It would be a fascinating but highly unlikely disruption of expectations if Moriarty made his way between Holmes and Watson. But the truly revolutionary shift in the Holmes/Watson narrative and in Ritchie's oeuvre could be the development of Miss Morstan. Is it time for all the lads of London to grow up and appreciate the power and influence of a strong independent woman? Grade: B-

Nope, he wants to hear about that blind pipe on the exhaust header that you chop off and weld up, and of course the second air filter they use to reduce noise. Sorry fella, time for a bigger bike. I had a CG125 to learn on, back in the days when they had kickstarters and a drum brake up front. It was far from fast, but adequate for the job. Go much faster and you'll end up tying the suspension and tyres in knots anyway. Came off mine a couple of times due to trying that bit too hard. Also - did they get round to putting fold-up pegs on the buggers yet? That's a fun thing to learn in roughly that order!

has anyone not done that for derestricting CG, like said it prolly isn't 'restricted'. You may be able to tease more power by going with a bigger carb, free-er flowing filter, pipe and jetting to suit. But not worth the hass - I'd leave the bike as it is (reliable, solid).You could try changing the rear sprocket for one with less teeth. In theory that will give you more top speed if there's enough power to pull the gear. You'll trade acceleration and may well be slower up hills or need a few down shifts.hth

Elsa Top - La Playa$158
Complete The Look
Rated 4 out of 5 by Miller27 Love them, but... Love these pants - they feel like brushed cotton... so soft. However, when I washed them on delicate they picked-up colors from the wash machine. So, I took them to the dry cleaners and whatever they put on them bleached the fabric. So sad... Maybe they should be dry clean only vs. delicate? PS - my daughters would love a pair, so consider making them in children's sizes. Thanks! April 1, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by jglaser Extremely comfortable, however wash leaves jeans with less color I purchased a "2" in these jeans (for reference I'm 5'4" and 122lbs) and these fit perfectly. Not only that, but the color (cheeky melon) was vibrant, happy, the fabric, extremely comfortable, and everything I had been once hoping they would be.. Upon only one wash however, I saw the once rich color fade to nearly white around the seams of pockets, waistband and zipper area. For the jeans I had once beloved so much, this was a huge disappointment (especially with the price). Because of this, I more than likely will not be purchasing more at this time. March 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Miamiartist Soft, comfortable, great fit these are my favorite new pants. I've gotten lots of compliments on the coral color. They are soft and fitted, and the most comfortable skinny pants I've ever worn. The color is the bright coral which isn't boring, so I wear it with white blouses, tees. I Absolutely highly recommend these, and I'm going back to the store to get them in navy and white! March 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nudvari Love these Skinnies!! I first saw these Skinnies online and then went to the store to check them out. The color FAR exceded my expectations!! The Cheeky Melon color is absolutely gorgeous!! It is even brighter and better in person!! They pair nicely with Some of the Resort prints as well as the new Spring prints. These Skinnies will take me all through the Spring and into the Summer months. I can't wait to wear them!!! Please more colors LIlly!! January 16, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by justaddmint Love and hate So I really liked these until after the first wash of which I washed these inside out. The color seems to have faded and on one leg these are faded out whisker lines. I am not sure if the dye used has staying power. For what these cost, I hoped they would have held up better. They fit great above the knee but they do get baggy and have lots of lines at and below the knee. October 29, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by GirlLovesLilly Disappointed.... I own 2 pairs of the Worth Skinny jeans (lilac and navy) so when I saw they came in Tropical Pink I instantly ordered them. They are not as pictured. The color is a washed out/faded Tropical Pink. So sadly they are going back :( October 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by BrieS Such a pretty color I normally don't like purple, but this soft lilac color was so pretty, I couldn't resist. I normally wear a 6, but I had to size down to prevent these from slipping off my hips. My one complaint would be the fit from the knee to the ankle. Even sizing down, the pants are a bit baggy with extra fabric behind the knee. October 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ClassyMum Terrific! These jeans are really terrific!.. They are soft and they fit perfect (perfect back pocket placement to make your booty look its best). There are a few wrinkle issues but the Navy color disguises all that...lilac, I'm not so sure (still love the color though). Just perfect jeans...wow...love them!! September 24, 2015

IFPs and Independent Film Producers File Lawsuit Against MPAA
by Eugene Hernandez
The Independent Feature Project chapters in New York and Los Angeles and a group of leading independent production companies filed a lawsuit Monday against the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). The plaintiffs are seeking a restraining order to prevent the MPAA from enforcing its recent ban on awards screeners and are hoping to win a ruling that would allow the distribution of screeners to all guilds, critics groups, and other organizations. The MPAA recently ruled that screeners can only be sent to members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences who sign an affidavit assuring that they will not distribute their tapes.
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Wednesday morning in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. Attorney Greg Curtner of law firm Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, told indieWIRE on Monday that Chief Judge Michael B. Mukasey would hear the case at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Manhattan. He indicated that the plaintiffs would seek an injunction from the judge in the hearing.
Plaintiffs joining the lawsuit include Jeff Levy-Hinte's Antidote Films, Ross Katz' Elemental Films, Scott Macaulay and Robin O'Hara's Forensic Films, John Penotti and Fisher Stevens' GreeneStreet Films, Susan Stover's HeadQuarters, IFP/Los Angeles, IFP/New York, John Sloss, Gary Winick and IFC's InDigEnt, Scott Rosenfelt's Independent Entertainment Christine Vachon & Pam Koffler's Killer Films, Joana Vicente & Jason Kliot's Open City Films, Peter Broderick's Paradigm Consulting, Yael Melamede & Eva Kolodner's Salty Features, Robert Altman & Josh Astrachan's Sandcastle5 Productions, Sarah Pillsbury & Midge Sanford's Sanford/Pillsbury Productions, John Coles' Talking Wall Pictures and Anthony Bregman, Anne Carey & Ted Hope's This Is That Corporation.
"We'll be asking [the judge] to restore the freedom to send out screeners," Curtner told indieWIRE simply in a conversation on Monday. Plaintiffs Levy-Hinte, and IFP chiefs Dawn Hudson (Los Angeles) and Michelle Byrd (New York) echoed the statement in conversations with indieWIRE on Monday evening.
Producer Jeff Levy-Hinte told indieWIRE that he, the other producers, and the IFPs felt that "there was really no other choice" but to file the lawsuit. He added, "We feel that certainly [this restraining order] is necessary and called for." Continuing, Levy-Hinte additionally said, "We are very serious about sitting down at the table with the MPAA and all relevant parties in the global motion picture industry [to discuss] a comprehensive way to deal with piracy."
A spokesperson for the MPAA did not respond to indieWIRE's multiple requests for comment on Monday. Rich Taylor of the MPAA told the Associated Press on Monday, "Any suggestion that this is designed to disadvantage one type of film over another is simply untrue." Taylor told Variety that while he had not read the lawsuit, "from the early quotes and reports I've seen it (the suit) seems to ignore the intent of the ban which is to reduce piracy and preserve the industry for motion pictures big and small."
The news of the lawsuit came on a day when Hollywood trade reports indicated that film producers have begun to pursue sending out their own screeners to the guilds, as a way of getting around the ban against sending tapes to the organizations. Producers of the Sony Pictures Classics film "Monsieur Ibrahim" are sending out video screeners to Screen Actors Guild (SAG) members to lobby on behalf of film star Omar Sharif. Some have speculated that the move will lead to other producers doing the same thing to promote Indiewood films and stars.
The 47 page filing, which included an additional 8 page declaration by producer Levy-Hinte, copies of which were sent to indieWIRE on Monday by the plaintiffs, states in Part 1 that the "Defendant, the Motion Picture Association of America ("the MPAA"), is conspiring with substantially all of the major motion picture studios in the United States and their controlled affiliates to eliminate a significant feature of competitive rivalry among themselves in relevant markets in the motion picture industry."
Continuing in Part 1 of the lawsuit, the statement reads, "The MPAA has mandated an anticompetitive, unjustified, pretextual and unnecessarily restrictive ban on one significant method of promoting films, awards screeners, has bound its signatories' subsidiary distribution companies to abide by these rules, and has conspired with the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ("the Academy") to unlawfully restrict trade in one or more relevant markets related to critics' evaluation awards events." Continuing it reads, "The MPAA has also tortiously induced its signatories and their subsidiaries to breach both express and implied agreements relating to the promotion of independently produced films."
The lengthy filing is a comprehensive document that offers a unique, contemporary "state of the industry" report on the specialty and independent film business. Indeed it could be published as an insiders guide to today's Indiewood film business. The document includes detailed background information on each plaintiff (production company), information on each of the MPAA member studios and also explains various financing modes used today, as it explains the issues of concern for the producers of Indiewood films as a result of the screener ban.
"This has been a long-term campaign to right the wrong of the MPAA screener ban," said the plaintiffs in a statement issued on Monday. "We have written letters, placed ads, held meetings, and tried in every way to get the MPAA to reverse its decision of September 30th. Unlike the major studios -- who can buy public awareness through expensive promotional campaigns -- independent filmmakers rely on recognition through awards to attract talent, financing, and box office revenues. As a last resort, to protect the interests of independent filmmakers and the film-going public, we have taken the step of seeking court-ordered relief of the ban."
At the same time that they filed this lawsuit, the plaintiffs also discussed a legal defense fund that has been established to cover the costs of the lawsuit. An email message recently sent to filmmakers seeking more plaintiffs to sign onto the suit (a copy of which was forwarded to indieWIRE) indicated that initial costs for the lawsuit could reach up to $50,000.
Levy-Hinte, in the conversation with indieWIRE on Monday, called the lawsuit a "David and Goliath" story, saying if the lawsuit fails, "We are not going to quit, we are not going to stop what we are doing until every stone has been turned over and every possibility has been exhausted."
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit issued the following points summarizing the legal issues. (The following information was provided by the plaintiffs.):
On November 24th, 2003, a Coalition of independent filmmakers along with IFP/LA and IFP/NY filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the MPAA seeking a court order to force the MPAA to lift the screener ban, and thus allow individual distributors to determine when and in what manner to distribute promotional screeners. Further, the Independent Coalition is seeking an order requiring the MPAA to develop a forum in which all constituencies of the industry have a voice in the development of effective, fair, and legal anti-piracy policies.
The MPAA has mandated an anticompetitive, unjustified, and unnecessarily restrictive ban on the promotional distribution of screener tapes and has bound its signatories' subsidiary distribution companies to abide by these rules. The current screener ban constitutes an unlawful restraint of trade under United States anti-trust law (under Sections 1 & 2 of the Sherman Act, and Section 16 of the Clayton Act).
The MPAA has:1. Conspired with major motion picture studios in the United States to eliminate competitive rivalry among the studios;
2. Conspired to use that control to disadvantage and to erect barriers against fair competition from small, independent film producers;
3. Conspired with the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ("the Academy") to unlawfully disadvantage other competing critics' evaluation and awards events.
Unless immediately enjoined by the Court, the foreseeable and intended result of these unlawful actions is and will be to:1. Immediately cause irreparable harm to independent producers of films which will not be promoted effectively or seen widely enough for fair consideration during this year's awards consideration process;
2. Severely restrict the ability of small, independent film production companies to enter the film production and promotions market by raising costs and other barriers;
3. Chill the financing of independent films;
4. Reinforce the shared monopoly power enjoyed by major studios;
5. Inhibit competition in the market for television broadcasts of motion picture awards shows;
6. Decrease choice, decrease quality, and increase prices to consumers in the motion picture distribution markets ("theatrical release markets") and in aftermarkets for both video and DVD rentals and purchases.

You may not be concerned about stroke just yet. But stroke can happen to anyone, at any time and at any age. Stroke doesn't discriminate – it affects people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. In fact, the National Stroke Association reports that stroke is the third leading cause of death in America and the No. 1 cause of adult disability. Fortunately, up to 80% of strokes are preventable; we can all take steps now to avoid having a stroke.
What is a Stroke?
Stroke can most easily be described by comparing it to a heart attack, except it occurs in the brain. Commonly called a 'brain attack', damage occurs in the brain when a blood clot blocks an artery. And as with a heart attack, response time can be vital in determining the success of treatment.
Implement these Stroke Prevention Guidelines to lessen your chance of having a stroke:
- Know your blood pressure.
- Find out if you have atrial fibrillation.
- If you smoke, stop.
- If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.
- Find out if you have high cholesterol
- If you are diabetic, work towards good control.
- Exercise.
- Enjoy a lower salt, lower fat diet.
- Know the Symptoms of Stroke.
Fewer than one in five Americans can identify even one stroke symptom. Many stroke patients have no idea they are having a stroke. "If you understand the warning signs (of stroke) and get to the hospital quickly, it may be possible to reverse the stroke or lessen its effects," says Jerome Freeman, MD, Sanford Clinic Neurology.
Learning to recognize a stroke is important and easy. React F.A.S.T to get treatment to save the lives of your loved ones by following these guidelines:
- Face – Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
- Arms – Ask the person to hold both arms up evenly. Does one arm drift downward?
- Speech – Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are their words slurred or mixed up?
- Time – If the person shows any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 immediately. Brain cells are dying.
The good news is that strokes are preventable. You should stop smoking, keep blood pressure at normal levels, cholesterol and diabetes under control, and manage atrial fibrillation (a condition where the heart beats irregularly) to reduce stroke risk.
Dr. Freeman explains that, "Getting immediate medical care can help minimize brain damage and dramatically increase the chance of recovery. Patients who receive emergency medical treatment within three hours of the onset of stroke can often be given a clot-busting medication that will dissolve the blood clot and restore normal blood flow to the brain."

This weekend, I'm looking forward to participating in what has become something of a rare event in the world today—the wedding celebration of a young man and woman who by God's grace have saved the gift of their sexual purity for one another.
Praise the Lord, purity is still possible!
In this video from Desiring God, Kevin DeYoung answers an age-old question about dating. I appreciate his willingness to point out the Scripture's high call to holiness in a time when so many in the church have embraced the world's standards for dating relationships.
This would be a good video to share with the Christian singles you know…

In my work, I work with couples where [men's violence against women] is prevalent. Both are equal voices in the partnership. I also use this in my own parenting and marriage..."
- Terry (dual diagnosis clinician, Te Runanga o Kirikiriroa).
"Unless society can eliminate violence against women and children, I will never be safe.
"As a gay man, I think it's important that men make a statement, a commitment to keep my home, my community safe and free of violence, or I will never be safe...
My kuamo'o (Hawaiian facial tattoo) is like a trigger - I wear it 24/7, like a badge. It is always there, as a reminder, like when I wash my face each morning I see my trigger and I think what does this mean and being an example, a kind of small action..."
- Kaipo (Whanau Support Worker, Piki ki Te Ora)
"Once were warriors told my story... I see [men's violence against women] as the most low, grittiest pain and degrading on our women...
And it's so common - it goes back to my father's father... I write music about love and respect - I've just gone number 1 on Amplifier.co.nz (Love your Children) ..."
- Marcus (music teacher, Rongo Atea).
"We stand in front of our women to protect them. That's the first big thing to me ...
Our opposition slaughtered all our women and children and it put us back a few generations - we're still affected by it...
I've always thought that people who resort to violence don't have the ability to express themselves verbally. The ability to communicate is essential and a lot of these boys don't have that these days..."
- Reweti (Kaimahi, Okate Kai Paipa).
"A lot of our Maori families have been brought up in that harsh environment where men have more authority than women.
Women have more prestige than men because they make life... [Because of their father's violence and absenteeism] our boys miss out - a lot of boys are in jail because they have not had that male role model ...
It starts with me - the way I treat my partner. It's all good me saying it, but I've got to walk the walk too ... I give a lot of advice to young men.
If I can be a role model I am doing my bit to stopping that from happening ..."
- Pedro (youth coach, Whaimarama).
"I know it's not right. It's really bad - I don't like it because there was violence in my background and I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't do it...
Physical violence is not acceptable, neither is verbal abuse... I really don't have a solution to stopping or preventing it other than education that will support the cause...
I have no idea what commitment I can make but I will commit to knowing what I can do by next White Ribbon Day..."
- Whitinga (IT support, Te Runanga o Kirikiriroa).
And for me (Steve Neale): I feel sad to know men generally are not stepping up in their commitment to stopping their own and other men's use of violence against women.
We know violence is not just a physical thing but verbal, emotional, use of intimidation and all of the rest and we must always be conscious of that.
My commitment is to re-commence facilitating living without violence groups at HAIP - for my own wellbeing, as well as for others.
And next year I'm going to make a way better job of White Ribbon Day.

Yarram Yarram Landcare Network (YYLN)
To see what's coming up for the year 2015 refer to Upcoming Events.
Yarram Yarram Landcare Network
The YYLN was established in 1995 and covers a diverse area of approximately 118,000 hectares. YYLN stretches from the temperate rainforests of the Strzelecki Ranges to the Ramsar listed wetlands of Corner Inlet and Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park, encompassing the Giffard Plain, along the Ninety Mile Beach to Seaspray.
The YYLN is the umbrella organisation for 9 Landcare Groups, providing support and strategic direction across the YYLN area. The groups are made up of volunteers from the local area. Members are involved in a range of activities and events including: protecting remnant vegetation and revegetation, invasive plant and animal control, sustainable agriculture and environmental education. The Landcare Groups provide a framework for locals to get together.
The YYLN is a not-for profit, incorporated association, managed by a volunteer board (made up of local people) who ensure the organisation is well governed, provide strategic direction for the region and representative of the local groups.
The YYLN employ staff who manage the day to day running of the organisation and delivery of multiple onground sustainable agricultural and environmental stewardship projects. Staff play a vital role in coordinating on ground works, developing funding submissions, providing group support, partnership development and responding to community needs.
What do we do?
The YYLN provides support to its Landcare groups and coordinates and encourages sustainable land management and productivity. At a recent Strategic Planning Workshop YYLN identified the following key themes to guide its operation:
- Landcare Group Support and Management
- Sustainable Agriculture
- Environmental Stewardship
- Education, communication and promotion
- Partnerships and collaboration
- Funding
- Governance

Google announced today the launch of a new tool that will dramatically change the virtual landscape of the company's Google Earth product. Cities in 3D is the latest of several free offerings from Google designed to encourage content sharing -- this time, people in small to medium-size cities across the nation and around the world will have the opportunity to swap more content.
Cities in 3D will allow localities to share with Google the data sets of any buildings within a city, and Google will render them into 3-D models.
"We're inviting local government to produce 3-D data that they can make available to Google users so we can integrate it into Google Earth and provide a rich, 3-D representation of their locality on Earth," said J.L. Needham, Google's manager of public-sector content partnerships. "We see this as a content partnership -- in this case a public-private content partnership in the sense this is the government making its data available to its citizens by way of Google Earth."
As it stands now, generally the only cities in Google Earth that can be viewed in 3-D are those with large downtowns and business districts. For the first time, smaller suburban cities and even rural towns can contribute datasets, which will help to create a much broader virtual world than exists today.
For Google, the partnership means those who navigate Google Earth will have a richer user experience. For participating cities, the possibilities are almost endless: From public safety to urban planning, cities of all sizes will be able to enhance everything from tourism to public input on new development.

Two Economic Developers Indicted in Bribery and Embezzlement Scheme
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 21, 2012
Felicia C. Adams, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi; Daniel McMullen, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Mississippi; and Robert Anderson, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General in New Orleans, announced that Connie Lewis, 52, of Jackson, Mississippi, and Linda Balducci, 59, of Shelby, Mississippi, were named in a superseding indictment charging them in connection with an embezzlement and bribery scheme related to federal grant funds and the construction of community housing projects in the Mississippi Delta.
Lewis, an employee of the Mississippi Development Authority, faces nine counts of accepting a total of over $250,000 in cash bribes from Jimmy Stokes, a general contractor in the Mississippi Delta, in return for her influence at the Mississippi Development Authority in directing federal grant funds to Stokes Construction Company. If convicted, Lewis faces up to 85 years in prison and $2,250,000 in fines.
Balducci faces three counts of conspiring with Jimmy Stokes to embezzle federal grant funds in connection with the construction of low income housing in Isola, Mississippi. Balducci serves as Executive Director of Southeastern Development Opportunities, Inc. located in Shelby, Mississippi. If convicted, Balducci faces up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines.
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Clay Dabbs and Clay Joyner.
Both defendants have been released on bond. Trial is set for February 11, 2013.

Another 0-0 Tie For Defense-Minded Men's Soccer
Defense has been a constant force for the 2010 Pasadena City College men's soccer team. The Lancers' offense has been another story under first-year head coach Edgar Manvelyan. For the third time this season, PCC played to a 0-0 tie, going scoreless against Los Angeles Harbor College Tuesday in a South Coast Conference match at PCC's Robinson Stadium.
Pasadena is an impressive 2-1-2 in SCC play, and holds a 5-2-4 overall record. LA Harbor remains undefeated in conference play (2-0-3) and also 5-2-4 overall.
The Lancers have been held scoreless five times thus far, but also have put together four shutouts with the help of goalie Jorge Cervantes. PCC's defense has allowed an average of exactly one goal per game (11 goals allowed overall in 11 matches). Manvelyan has completely turned around the fortunes of PCC just a year after the team went winless (0-20-1) and had the state's poorest defense.
However, PCC's offense has been a concern, especially after one of the team's two most productive forwards--Khaled Gara--had to leave the game 16 minutes into the contest with an injury to his head. Gara, who is tied for the team lead in goals with three, is expected to return to the lineup soon. Ironically, PCC inserted playmaker Omar Reyes back into the lineup to replace Gara after he had missed five games with a concussion.
Reyes, who also has three goals as does defender Francisco Cantero, had an open shot from 15 yards out in the 90th minute, but his attempt was stopped by Harbor goalie Greg Williams. Then, in extra time, Reyes nearly set up the tie-breaking goal.
Reyes took a free kick from the 25 yard-line and placed a short ball for a streaking Derek Olson, who got underneath the Harbor defense, but saw his wide-open flick shot sail over the Harbor goal. The referees whistled for the game's end following the play.
The scoring opportunity was the closest either team got to reaching the back of the net. Overall, PCC's defender corps of Cantero, Enrique Miranda, Jordan Brooksher, and Joshua Cuevas kept Harbor's offense from generating chances. Harbor's defender crew of Juan Serafin, Hector Lopez, Anthony Gallegos and Ivan Gonzalez was equally as effective in limiting the Lancers.
Harbor outshot PCC, 11-9, as Cervantes and Williams each made four saves.
Pasadena will visit East Los Angeles College Friday, October 15 in a 6 p.m., SCC kickoff in Monterey Park.

Were all packed up and ready to go. The taxi is ordered for tomorrow afternoon and then we drop our luggage off at the Twilight check in..We are staying once again at Southbourne guest house - I wouldnt stay anywhere else now as it is so good. My arthritic knee is still sore but who cares! Ive got my ibuprofen and Ibulieve gel and Im going . Ive got my new Lumix camera and my camcorder so there will be lots of snapping!
We are all mega excited but not very well organised. i havent even got an itinerary this time but I sort of know what I am doing on various days. We are all looking forward to trying some of our favourite restaurants as well as trying some new ones as well.
So, its adios from us all and see you on the 31st August. Bye everyone.....

Background to the PILOT Science Case
PILOT, the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope, is proposed as a 2m optical-quality telescope for Dome C.
With the best seeing yet measured (median value 0.27" at V), the lowest sky backgrounds (typically 10-20 times less than Mauna Kea from 3-30 microns), and the highest transparency (ppt H2O values ~250 microns ppt H2O for much of the year, 25% of Mauna Kea's best, and 50% of Atacama's best) of any ground-based astronomical site, Dome C offers science opportunities from the visual to the sub-mm. The science case is based around this, the programs that can be pursued across a wide wavelength range with relatively simple instrumentation, so able to support a diverse range of science and hence a robust and vibrant science community. Further afield is the lure of what a large optical/IR telescope and/or interferometer might deliver (hence the name PILOT), with the prospect of being able to able to search for exo-earths being particularly attractive.
There have been a number of earlier documents published describing the science potential of Antarctic, as well as the site characteristics, and science already undertaken. For example;
1. The "original" science case for Antarctic Optical/IR Astronomy, written by 20 Australian astronomers back in 1994 (PASA, 1994, 11, 127-150). This is now mainly of historical interest, but provides an interesting perspective on how ideas have changed through a decades development.
2. A paper on science goals for the Douglas Mawson Telescope,
a pre-cursor proposal to PILOT, which concentrated on the potential
for wide-field thermal-IR imaging (PASA,

Social Business Matters Today — and Will Matter Even More Tomorrow
A majority of respondents (52%) to our survey believe that social business is important or somewhat important to their business today. Fully 86% of managers believe social business will be important or somewhat important in three years. Social business is viewed most often as a tool for external-facing activities.
- Survey respondents say marketing, sales and customer service are most responsible for driving social software use in their organizations.
- On average, respondents say the most important use of social software is for managing customer relationships.
- The second most important use of social software is to innovate for competitive differentiation.
Key takeaways: Managers surveyed believe that social software will become increasingly important to their organizations during the next few years. Although most managers continue to view social software as an externally facing activity, its relevance to innovation is also being recognized.
Some Leaders Are Enthusiastic, but Lack Metrics to Prove Value
Most respondents to our survey believe that successful social business activities require leadership but acknowledge that their organizations are not measuring social software use.
- In our survey, leadership and a clear vision are cited most frequently as critical to adoption of social software. Lack of management support is cited most frequently as the biggest barrier to adoption.
- At the same time, the most common answer to the question, "How do you measure social software use?" is: Do Not Measure.
- Leaders most responsible for the strategic direction of an organization — CEOs, presidents and managing directors — are almost twice as likely as CIOs and CFOs to say that social business is important to their organization.
Key takeaways: Social business depends on leadership. Metrics may not be critical when companies are experimenting with using social software, but as social software use becomes more important to an organization, having metrics in place can help managers assess, encourage and reward related behaviors. These metrics may be even more important in organizations that need to shift their cultures to be more compatible with social business. In addition, while the survey results indicate that social business depends on leadership, our interviews indicate that leadership can be improved with social business. CEOs may recognize this more than other members of the C-suite.
Size Matters
Respondents from small and large companies say social business is important to their organization at twice the rate of managers from midsize companies.

Help: For Moon/Planets, 8" SCG or 4.7" refractor?
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:33 AM
Key spec for both scopes:
- Celestron NexStar Schmidt Cassegrain 8SE: RESOLUTION: 0.68 arc seconds; RESOLVING POWER: 0.57 arc seconds SECONDARY MIRROR OBSTRUCTION: 2.5 in (63.5 mm) SECONDARY MIRROR OBSTRUCTION BY AREA: 10% SECONDARY MIRROR OBSTRUCTION BY DIAMETER: 31.30% FOCAL LENGTH: 2032 mm (80 in) FOCAL RATIO: 10.01
- Celestron Omni XLT 120 mm Refractor Telescope: RESOLUTION: 1.19 arc seconds RESOLVING POWER: 0.97 arc seconds FOCAL LENGTH: 1000 mm (39.37 in) FOCAL RATIO: 8.33
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:52 AM
The 120 also has 60% of the resolving power of the 8SE. The contrast between the two should be close enough so as to not notice the difference. Based on aperture alone, the 120 has 86% that of the 8SE, however other factors like mirror scatter comes into play which degrades the contrast of the 8" SCT. In fact, the refractor may end up with more contrast, but I think they will be close enough to be a wash.
While the 120 is a good scope, being an achromat it will have false color which the SCT will not. Even putting CA aside, achromats tend not to be made to as high a standards as Apochromats or ED/Apos. Overall I think think the 8" SCT will provide better quality images in most respects, and be a more versatile scope.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:54 AM
I think you'd be hard pressed to go wrong with either scope for your stated use. Refractors are reknowned for their high contrast images and relatively quick cooldown times. SC scopes are compact and relatively easy to move about, but cool more slowly.
Most nights, the difference in resolving power will be obscured by the atmospheric seeing.
I do mostly planetary and deep sky (galaxies and planetary nebulae mostly) observing myself, and have been very well served by my 8" dob. A much less expensive option, though one without any tracking.
There isn't a really clear winner here. Choosing from those 2, I'd probably lean towards the SC scope, just because it'd give me a bit more light grasp should I decide to persue some deep sky objects. Not that a nearly 5" refractor would seem particularly small to me either....
In truth, with that sort of budget, personally I'd be looking at about a 12" dob and some accessories.... I could get 4.5" refractor performance from such a scope (unobstructed!) using an aperature mask, and outperform both the scopes you're looking at on deep sky.
Just some thoughts. Variety is the spice of life.

Ohhh, tough call. I happen to have both an 8" SCT and a 6" achromat. Both have their advantages and if I'm going out for a quick look I generally grab the refractor even though physically it is a much larger scope. However, as much as I love my biggo refractor I'd recommend the 8" SCT. The 8" packs a lot of scope into a small package. The larger aperture will give you sharper views and you won't have to deal with the color issues of a refractor. The 8" SCT is also a great general purpose scope. A couple of relatively minor issues is that you will have to learn how to keep the SCT in alignment (not a biggy, but it takes a bit of fiddling to master) and you will have to give it time to thermally settle down once you take it outside (30-45 minutes usually does it). If budget is an issue the refractor would work well. It will settle down quickly (I don't even think about it with my 6") and there's nothing to align (I think, some refractors have adjustable cells). The challenges with the refractor are color (which can lower contrast) and with only 4.7" of aperture you'll be limited in the upper end of magnification as the image will dim as the magnification increases. That won;t be a problem with the 8". However, the refractor will perform much, much better at very low magnifications.
Sooooo, if budget is an issue, the refractor will serve you well. However, since you mentioned that lunar and planetary is your primary interest I'd go with the 8" SCT if it were within your budget.
Have fun shopping around! That's the fun part.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 11:57 AM
Hello and Welcome to Cloudy Nights...
If the choice were between an 8 inch SCT and 4.7mm apo refractor, it would be a close call. But I have owned a couple of the 120mm F/8.3s and the chromatic aberration definitely affects the contrast and sharpness of the planets.
I am partial to Newtonians for planetary viewing but they have their issues as well.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 12:11 PM
If the stupid frankenstorm would leave I'd get a really nice view of jupiter setting in the morning, as well as venus rising.
there's always tomorrow [no singing "there's got to be a morning after"].
my 8in sct is sometimes mushy on planets.
buy used and save lots of money.
an 8in sct ota can be bought for ~ $350.
a genesis should be ~ $1k

An 86-year-old Wilkes-Barre man is wanted for child rape, according to an arrest warrant filed Thursday by Wilkes-Barre police.
Angel Roman Gonzalez, of 212 Academy St., Apt. B, is accused of raping a 6-year-old girl in a Wilkes-Barre home on April 26, the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit:
The girl's mother found Gonzalez in the kitchen with her daughter. Her daughter looked worried and her nightgown was pushed up.
After Gonzalez left the house, the girl's mother asked her daughter if something had happened and checked her for injuries. She told her mother that Gonzalez had touched her with his "private parts," and that he had done the same in the past.
Police were at The Children's Advocacy Center in Scranton on April 29 when the victim was interviewed. The girl told investigators that Gonzalez had touched her more than once in her house. She also said Gonzalez wanted her to touch him and would tell her not to tell anyone.
Gonzalez is charged with child rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, indecent assault of a person less than 13 and corruption of a minor.

Crime ring stole $45 m from two West Asian banks by hacking into credit card processing firms; seven arrested
In one of the biggest ever bank heists, a global cyber crime ring stole $45 million from two West Asian banks by hacking into credit card processing firms and withdrawing money from ATMs in 27 countries, US prosecutors said on Thursday.
The US justice department accused eight men of allegedly forming the New York-based cell of the organisation, and said seven of them have been arrested. The eighth, allegedly a leader of the cell, was reported to have been murdered in the Dominican Republic on April 27.
The ringleaders are believed to be outside the US but prosecutors declined to give details, citing the ongoing investigation. What's clear is the sheer scope and speed of the crimes: in one of the attacks, in just over 10 hours, $40 million was raided from ATMs in 24 countries involving 36,000 transactions. In the place of guns and masks, this cyber crime organisation used laptops and the internet, US attorney for the eastern district of New York Loretta Lynch said at a news conference. Moving as swiftly as data over the internet, the organisation worked its way from the computer systems of international corporations to the streets of New York.
The case demonstrates the major threat that cyber crime poses to banks around the world. It also shows how increasingly international and sophisticated criminal gangs have become, particularly those using the internet.
Prosecutors highlighted the surgical precision of these hackers, the global nature of their organisation, and the speed and coordination with which they executed operations in 27 countries.
According to the complaint, the gang broke into the computers of two credit card processors, one in India in December 2012 and the other in the US this February. The companies were not identified. The hackers increased the available balance and withdrawal limits on prepaid MasterCard debit cards issued by Bank of Muscat of Oman, and National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah (RAKBANK) of the UAE, according to the complaint. They then distributed counterfeit debit cards to cashers around the world, enabling them to siphon millions of dollars from ATMs within hours.
In New York, for example, members of the cell fanned out into the city on the afternoon of February 19, armed with cards bearing a single Bank of Muscat account number. Ten hours later, they had completed 2,904 withdrawals for

Chilam Balam Restaurant Review: Its name may come from an ancient Mayan text filled with foreboding --- don't ask; it's complicated --- but there's nothing gloomy going on at Lakeview's Chilam Balam. First, there's the cheery vibe (not an easy feat in a small basement location) that features pillow-topped benches, brightly colored walls and whimsical Mexican folk art. Then, there's the friendly and informed service. But most important is the flavorful Mexican food. Although chef Chuy Valencia has moved on, the restaurant forges on with Natalie Oswald --- former pastry and sous chef --- in the kitchen. Focusing on farm-fresh ingredients from local purveyors, this BYOB (there are handcrafted mixers for sangría and margaritas) features a combination of small and large plates, including shiitake empanadas, veal sweetbread tinga and squash crêpes with poblano cream. The tortillas? Made from scratch. Ditto the chorizo and moles. Expect the menu to change often, but if the hibiscus flan with vanilla-lime ice cream and candied pepitas is available, get it.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has rejected the wording of a proposed ballot measure aimed at legalizing marijuana in the state.
McDaniel on Friday cited several problems with the wording of the proposed constitutional amendment submitted by Marjorie LeClair of Shirley. McDaniel must certify the proposed amendment before supporters can begin gathering the 78,133 signatures needed to place it on next year's ballot.
The proposal calls for repealing all state laws related to the cannabis plant.
The proposal is among several marijuana legalization measures that have been submitted to McDaniel for next year's ballot. Arkansas voters in November rejected a proposal to legalize medical marijuana in the state.

La aventura excelente de Jon y Joan en Ecuador
Jon and Joan's Excellent Adventure in Ecuador
In the car on the way to the airport the streets were empty. Some cars beeped their horns and went right through the red lights. Ever wondering, we asked our driver why there weren't flashing yellow lights. He replied that at this time in the morning, people are worried about being robbed while stopped. Jon told him to feel free to go right through those red lights.
At the airport, everything was humming. We headed through a helpful check in and sat in the waiting room, exhausted from rising and sad to be leaving. From the window we saw the Andes and a great view of snow-covered Cotacoxchi with the sun rising behind. As we took off from Quito we had a clear view of more snow-covered peaks and fog-shrouded valleys. We picked out the Winged Virgin on the hill, looked back to see the Basilica, and thought of the first day our Ecuador adventure began.
I feel I have learned and seen so much but have so much more to learn and see. It truly was excellent.
On the flight from Miami to Chicago we met a man who works for a credit union in Wisconsin and was in Ecuador and Peru working to set up credit cards. He told us that Ecuador has had 13% inflation and people are really struggling. My heart sank when I thought of everyone out there like westerners saying charge it. A great part of the beauty of our trip to Ecuador is that it wasn't like home.
First stop at home was our list of vacation dreams. We checked off Galápagos and Amazon and added five more.
Wednesday, July 22nd
Today I delivered my Post Office Bay Galápagos postcard to an address on Gorham Street in Madison. I hoped the person would be home and the person who sent the postcard would be visiting so I could meet him or her and they would tell me about their trip to Ecaudor. I was disappointed when they weren't there. I can see that it won't be easy to get over such a fabulous trip.
1. Look for an open post office right away. I bought postcards to mail and sent them when I got home because I couldn't find an open post office. Postage runs from $2 to $5 depending on where you are mailing from.
2. At Sacha Lodge, always bring a flashlight on 4 pm hikes even if your guide doesn't remind you. It gets dark quicker at the Equator than at home in the Northern Hemisphere, and especially dark in the jungle.
3. If you want to try to avoid seasickness on the Millenium, sit on the deck in front of the Captain, look at the horizon, and breathe in the fresh air.
4. Bring slipper socks with grips for walking during rough seas.
5. If you have children, read Nim's Island by Wendy Orr together. I haven't seen the movie version, but I know the book is better. It will give you all a great reference for frigate birds, seal lions, marine iguanas, and volcanic islands.
6. To pack we brought a duffel bag folded up inside one of our suitcases. We used it as our second suitcase on our trip when we left behind a larger one at the hotel. It can also be used as the soggy, smelly clothes suitcase.
7. We brought older clothes and purchased inexpensive clothes at Goodwill for our trip. As we wore them, we left them behind. This made room for all of our purchases and we actually ended up with lighter suitcases going home than when we came.
8. Jon bought a pair of prescription goggles on ebay for about $30. We had checked in advance to see if they had any on the Millenium and they didn't. Other passengers were disappointed at what they couldn't see.
To watch video clips of wildlife and experiences from our trip go to youtube and type in the same title as this journal title or go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZRpem4YCQw

The postcard I sent from Post Office Bay was delivered to my mom on the 15th - exactly five weeks from the Galapagos to Madison, Wisconsin. She wasn't home at the time, but asked other residents of the retirement community she lives in if they knew who delivered it. Turns out a "nice young couple" tried to find her to deliver it in person - they really wanted to talk about their trip! More travelers with an excellent adventure!

Guide to Lindsay Lohan's DUI Prison Stay
Lindsay Lohan will be doing time for her DUI offense.
That's 90 days in jail, though it's unlikely she'll serve the whole stint.
Some sources say that she was experiencing some serious anxiety about her time behind bars. Who wouldn't?
"She's really nervous," someone close to Lohan to told E! News. "She is still hoping she is not going to jail."
Unfortunately for the starlet, Lohan will be spending at least some time in the clink.
Lohan will soon report to the jail to begin serving her sentence, although overcrowding causes many sentences to be shortened.
Lohan will appear in court, and then she will be taken to the Century Regional Detention Facility, in Lynnwood, California. Here are a few things that E! News wants you to know about the impending jail sentence of a young woman convicted of DUI.
Lohan Isn't the First Celebrity Starlet to Spend Time in Lynnwood
Paris Hilton once stayed in the same facility. In 2007 she spent 23 days serving time for violating the probation on a reckless driving charge.
Khloe Kardashian Odom once spent four-and-a-half hours in Lynnwood for violating her own DUI charge. While Khloe was there, she was placed in solitary confinement. The jail received three bomb threats during her stay, though it's unclear why.
Nicole Richie did a tough 82 minutes of time for her own 2007 DUI conviction.
Even Lindsay Lohan herself served 84 minutes in 2007 from DUI arrests that year.
Rules of the DUI Road
Lohan won't get any preferential treatment in lock-up. She'll be allowed visitors during much of the day on weekends. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous hold daily meetings inside, and numerous ministries operate in the jail. Also, there is no smoking at Lynnwood, so Lohan will have to do without her nicotine fix.
Ladies Only
The Century Regional Detention Facility is a female-only facility, with 1,800 inmates.
When Paris Hilton served time, she had good things to say about the populace, saying that her fellow inmates were "very supportive." She talked to her fellow inmates from cell to cell.
Lohan will be in a 12-foot-by-8-foot cell with two bunk beds, a toilet, a sink, a stool, table and a six-inch window. She will be separated from other prisoners because of her status.
