1960 Wilson Hurley Oil Landscape
We lived across the street from the Hurleys when Wilson Hurley was married to his first wife. He and their seven children lived directly across the street. And when they broke up and went their ways, this painting came into our family. And my father made a frame, kind of a ranch oak frame, and it hung behind our family room couch all of my life. And then when my parents passed away, it came into my possession.
Do you know very much about Wilson Hurley?
I know that he did monumental landscape paintings of the Southwest and that he has paintings in the Smithsonian and he was represented up in Santa Fe in one of the galleries, but as far as the value of it, I don't have any idea.
Well, I think this is a very exciting painting to see at the Roadshow because of where we are and its regional importance. He did paint vast landscapes. He was born in Oklahoma, but he did move to New Mexico and he was really taken with the natural landscape. We know it is Wilson Hurley by the fact that it's signed here. It's signed in an interesting manner. He often signed with his first name, but after speaking with my colleagues, they felt sure that this also was Wilson Hurley.
And he did date it on this side, "1960." The interesting thing about this date is, between 1958 and 1960, he became kind of intrinsically interested in how technology and nature were relating. I think it's an incredible contrast between this lone windmill, this figure out in this vast landscape, and he has made it even more emphasized by the use of these vertical clouds, which kind of echo this tall, lean piece of technology. He was a really interesting man. He was considered a renaissance type of man.
He was into law, he was an engineer. He's won countless awards. He has murals in the Capitol in Oklahoma, he has paintings in museums, he's just a very recognizable and important Western landscape artist. With all that said, this painting is in fairly good condition. We do have small bits of grime, we have crackle and a little bit of cupping. I think, at auction, particularly in this area, this painting might bring $10,000 to $15,000.
Really? Even that it's... for Wilson Hurley, it's small.
That's right.
Appraisal Details
Executive producer Marsha Bemko shares her tips for getting the most out of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.
Value can change: The value of an item is dependent upon many things, including the condition of the object itself, trends in the market for that kind of object, and the location where the item will be sold. These are just some of the reasons why the answer to the question "What's it worth?" is so often "It depends."
Note the date: Take note of the date the appraisal was recorded. This information appears in the upper left corner of the page, with the label "Appraised On." Values change over time according to market forces, so the current value of the item could be higher, lower, or the same as when our expert first appraised it.
Context is key: Listen carefully. Most of our experts will give appraisal values in context. For example, you'll often hear them say what an item is worth "at auction," or "retail," or "for insurance purposes" (replacement value). Retail prices are different from wholesale prices. Often an auctioneer will talk about what she knows best: the auction market. A shop owner will usually talk about what he knows best: the retail price he'd place on the object in his shop. And though there are no hard and fast rules, an object's auction price can often be half its retail value; yet for other objects, an auction price could be higher than retail. As a rule, however, retail and insurance/replacement values are about the same.
Verbal approximations: The values given by the experts on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW are considered "verbal approximations of value." Technically, an "appraisal" is a legal document, generally for insurance purposes, written by a qualified expert and paid for by the owner of the item. An appraisal usually involves an extensive amount of research to establish authenticity, provenance, composition, method of construction, and other important attributes of a particular object.
Opinion of value: As with all appraisals, the verbal approximations of value given at ROADSHOW events are our experts' opinions formed from their knowledge of antiques and collectibles, market trends, and other factors. Although our valuations are based on research and experience, opinions can, and sometimes do, vary among experts.
Appraiser affiliations: Finally, the affiliation of the appraiser may have changed since the appraisal was recorded. To see current contact information for an appraiser in the ROADSHOW Archive, click on the link below the appraiser's picture. Our Appraiser Index also contains a complete list of active ROADSHOW appraisers and their contact details and biographies.

High Resolution Site Characterization: A Sustainable Risk Management ApproachJan 9th, 2010 | By Joe Fiacco | Category: Environmental Management, Soil and Groundwater
Site investigation programs are known for their seemingly endless phases of assessment and high degrees of uncertainty due to the use of traditional investigation tools and approaches. High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) offers an alternative approach to site investigation that significantly reduces uncertainty and enables development of cost effective solutions to address identified risks.
Through the application of proven scientific principles, investigation approaches, and characterization tools, detailed two- or three-dimensional conceptual site models are generated to support effective decision making.
Benefits at New Sites
Where High Resolution Site Characterization programs have been implemented from the outset, complex sites have been characterized over a period of months, resulting in accurate definition of sources and plumes, and evaluation of various risks. The evaluation of risks, compliance with regulatory requirements, establishment of reserves, and initiation of remediation or mitigation measures can be completed both quickly and accurately – typically within one to two years of problem discovery. This approach has demonstrated significant reductions in business risk, stakeholder concerns, and life-cycle costs, in addition to improved safety and overall sustainability relative to more conventional approaches.
Benefits at Existing Sites
Recent experience with High Resolution Site Characterization programs at sites with more than a decade of investigation and remediation history found that source areas were often overlooked in past investigations, potential risks to receptors were missed, and (not surprisingly) remediation programs failed. In some cases, these failures led to litigation and findings of substantial damage. In all cases, significant amounts of money had been spent with little actual improvement. Conducting a High Resolution Site Characterization program at these mature sites enabled substantial progress toward a satisfactory and cost effective endpoint.
Site Characterization Tools
Specialized tools and techniques are required to conduct high resolution work. For example, the overburden site characterization toolbox includes, among others:
- Gore Sorbers.
- Membrane Interface Probe (MIP).
- Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF).
- Cone Penetrometer (CPT).
- Waterloo Advanced Profiling System (APS).
- Sonic drilling.
- Field laboratories.
When subsets of these tools are used together to produce collaborative datasets, high resolution conceptual site models can be efficiently generated.
About the Author
Joe Fiacco is an environmental consultant and partner at Environmental Resources Management in Boston, U.S.A. He specializes in high resolution characterization of both overburden and fractured bedrock contaminated sites. The majority of his experience involves the characterization and remediation of sites impacted by chlorinated solvents, with additional experience at petroleum and landfill sites.

As the weather warms up and we start planning for holidays, there's that perennial dilemma: What to pack? We want to have all the tech devices with us on the road, but the bag size refuses. So we must pruning to get to only the gadgets we really need. It's a ritual we still go through before trips. Here's how to do it. Read on.
Hello wheat, goodbye chaff
Weight is an especially important factor whether you're traveling by air or rail. You need to start making some decisions. So, for example:
Do you really need a laptop, or will a tablet do?
Do you need to bring a dedicated camera, or will your phone's camera suffice?
If you want to read ebooks, can you get by with a smartphone or tablet, or do you need your Kindle?
What about a game console or other tech toys?
Juicing up
When you're deciding which gadgets to bring, don't forget to factor in their accessories—cables, chargers, and so on.
One way to save on weight is to see if any of your chargers and cables can do double duty. For example, if you're bringing an Kinkoo external cell phone battery charger with you, then you can use the same cable to charge your iPhone, iPab, MP3, Kindle, Gopro camera and all USB devices with 8000mAh massive power. It has proven useful on trains and planes to charge different devices, and it's compact and fairly light. Just make sure it's fully charged before you leave.
In the bag
Once you've selected the gadgets and accessories you're going to bring along, you have to figure out how to carry them with you.Packing electronic gadgets is an art.
If you're flying, it's a good idea to take a checkpoint friendly laptop bag with you. This will make it easier to get through the TSA checks. For other types of trips, I recommend having one bag for all your tech stuff; this is the bag you will always have near you when in transit. Also, it's easier to organize—and find—everything you need in one bag than to spread it out across different bits of luggage. When you're looking for that little cable, you don't want to have to go through all of your luggage.
That way we shall always have the technology we need and have what we need to keep it running.

✨ Manicures. Cute Helmets. & Plexus. ✨ It's true. 💕
I have been using the Plexus Triplex System for just shy of 6 weeks now. The system is a combination of Bio Cleanse, ProBio 5, and Slim supplements. It works in three ways to remove, restore and rebalance your body to help get your digestive system back into balance. It can also help support weight loss for people who struggle to lose on their own.
I began taking Triplex due to severe back, leg, and knee pain, digestive issues, tons of stress, fatigue...you name it. Triplex works to help detox and rebalance your body, stabilize your blood sugar levels, and reduce cravings. I have experienced significant increase in energy level, better moods (less emotional ups & downs, even with my Marine being gone for so long), a decrease in my aches and pains, plus now I am losing inches, too. I haven't even changed my eating habits, sometimes I eat more calories than normal, but I have still lost. Best of all, I do not have the 5 to 7 pound weight fluctuations every few days like I suffered with before. It is such a relief to no longer be on that roller coaster! 😊🎢💗
I know there are many of you that are skeptical... trust me, so was I. Then I finally decided that I really had nothing to lose by trying the product (with the 60-day money back guarantee), yet I had everything to gain if it worked. And you know what? It did, and it does! That's why I'm sharing this with you again.
Don't let your skepticism hold you back from experiencing a better quality of life. 💕
Leave me a comment below, or shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested in starting your own Plexus Journey, or if you'd simply like some more information about the products. Plexus does offer a 60-day money back guarantee if you aren't happy with your results, so what have you got to lose, other than excess pounds, fatigue, and digestive issues?
You can also Shop My Plexus Store if you want to begin your journey right now. 😊💕😊

We had another earthquake last night in Los Angeles, this time a 5.1, and it came less than two weeks after a 4.4 earthquake. I don't mind the little earthquakes, but when we start getting up into 5s, I get a litlte nervous. (Side note: I held the belief that the smaller earthquakes relieve the tension along a fault line and reduce the likelihood of a larger event. The super useful and sometimes perception shattering earthquake.usgs.gov just told me that was untrue.) I actually didn't feel the 5.1 earthquake last night, but I jumped out of bed for the 4.4 and ran to a doorway. Then I thought, "Am I supposed to be standing in a doorway?"
Turns out, no, not so much. Doorways in modern buildings are generally not built super strongly, so unless you know it is a load-bearing doorway (and I would have no clue which doorway that was), standing under one isn't going to offer you much protection. The best thing to do is drop, cover, and hold on wherever you are.
If you can get under a heavy desk or table, make yourself as small as you can under that sturdy piece of furniture. Or you can crouch in an inside corner, covering your face and head with your arms. If you're outside, get into an open area, making sure to stay away from power lines, trees, streetlights, and buildings. If you're in a high-rise building, stay away from windows and elevators. If you're driving, as I was last night, stop as soon as you can without causing an accident, and stay in your car until the shaking stops. Do your best to stop in an area free of power lines, overpasses, trees, etc - basically, keep clear of anything that might fall on you if it were to collapse in an earthquake.

Simmons sets tone as Sixers thrash Pistons
Issued on:
Los Angeles (AFP)
Australian rookie Ben Simmons set an early tone with 11 first-quarter points on Friday and his Philadelphia 76ers went on to crush the under-manned Detroit Pistons 114-78.
Cameroonian center Joel Embiid scored 23 points to lead six Philadelphia players in double figures.
JJ Redick added 21 and Simmons finished with 19 points, nine assists and four rebounds as the 76ers beat the Pistons for the third time this NBA season and improved to 19-19.
Philadelphia won't play again until Thursday, when they meet the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics in London.
Detroit's Tobias Harris delivered the first basket of the game, and from there it was all Philadelphia.
A 15-0 scoring run for the hosts ensued and the 76ers led by 25 points at the end of the first quarter.
They were ahead by as many as 40 in the second half and out-rebounded the Pistons 55-34.
Andre Drummond, who missed Detroit's defeat at Miami on Wednesday with a right rib contusion, returned to action, scoring 10 points with eight rebounds and five assists.
But Detroit connected on just 38 percent of their shots from the field and clearly missed guard Reggie Jackson, absent with a sprained ankle.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, connected on 48.9 percent of their shots. All five starters scored in double figures and all five sat out the fourth quarter.
For Simmons and Embiid it was the kind of display that could boost their chances of featuring in next month's All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said before the game that their chances in the All-Star voting would come down to victories.
"Do you win? That's the thing that tips it," Brown said. "You have sort of a popularity contest that goes on for a while, and then you have a respect vote, and we're looking for the respect vote."

Archaeologists believe the site was the capital of the Kadamba dynasty
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will soon embark on a trial excavation of a site at Talagunda, about 80 km north of Shivamogga town in Karnataka, which archaeologists believe was the capital of the Kadamba dynasty.
According to the ASI's superintending archaeologist (Bengaluru circle) K Moortheswari, the "scientific clearance" will begin seven to 10 days.
"The site selected is of great archaeological importance. We are doing scientific clearance (trial excavation) in the area adjacent to the previous excavation site to find out whether there are structures related to it. There is a Pranaveshwara temple in the area," the ASI official told PTI.
The excavation will be carried out in 7.5 acre of land at Talagunda, which the archaeologists believe was the capital of the Kadamba dynasty and Pranaveshwara Temple was an important study centre.
The Kadamba dynasty, which ruled for almost 200 years, is believed to be founded in 350 AD by Mayura Sharman. They were Kannada speaking natives and got the name Kadamba due to many Kadamba trees near their settlement.
What inspired archaeologists to carrying out excavation in Talagunda was discovery of gold coins and copper plate inscription.
"Till this copper plate inscription was found, it was believed that the Halmidi inscription, which dates back to 450 AD, found in Hassan district was the oldest Kannada language inscription. However, this copper plate inscription found in Talagunda precedes 80 years to the Halmidi script. It dates back to 370 AD," retired superintending archaeologist of ASI T M Keshava said.
The ASI found the coins and copper plates while rebuilding the Pranaveshwara temple.
An ASI officer said, "The temple was in a dilapidated condition. We removed the stones giving each one of them definite number. While removing the foundation stone, we found the copper plate and gold coins at a corner of the temple."
The challenge, however, is the land selected for excavation is now in the hands of some people.
"In 1954, the land was handed over to the ASI to carry out excavation. In absence of adequate staff, the ASI officials could not maintain the property. Later, a few land-grabbers created bogus land records and occupied the 7.5 acres of land. Now, we are convincing them to help us out scientific clearance," another ASI officer said.

Womens Dora Half Apron 50s Circle Skirt
Regular price
The Dora is a flirty little half apron with real 50's authenticity. The skirt of the apron is circle cut, so it really swings. It reminds you of a cute little mini skirt. The Dora has pockets in the shape of two tulips, that are both cute and convenient! This apron is a size S/M, fitting a size 4-12. But I WELCOME CUSTOM ORDERS if you prefer a different fabric or size. Just convo me!
Waistband: 22" long
Waist Ties: 29" long
Length of skirt: 16" long from waistband to hem
*All Sugar 'n Spice Aprons are cut generously, to be flattering on any figure. You will find many retro aprons on the market to be skimpy; waistbands that don't wrap all the way around, skirts that barely cover the front of your body, and pretty fabric, but thin. But Sugar 'n Spice Aprons wrap around your sides to the back, have longer waistbands, and are constructed using high quality 100% cotton fabric. You will be able to tell the difference as soon as you own one!

Large Meat Processor Exceeds Wastewater Treatment Regulations Using Existing Facilities
CUMBERLAND, RI, APRIL 15, 2012: Wastewater from a meat processing plant is a complex mixure of all sorts containing excrements, blood, cleaning and flushing water as well as wastewater from hygiene systems. Nordfjord Kjott was no different. Nordfjord was having compliance issues with effluent equivalent to the sewage of 35,000 inhabitants being discharged to the municipality.
After trying a variety of wastewater treatment options, Nordfjord Kjott decided on the Biowater CMFF®. The Biowater CMFF® process reduces the effluent by 90% so it is now discharging the equivalent of the sewage of 3,500 inhabitants to the municipality. The processor now exceeds legislative demands all while using the tankage they already had. The company can now focus on making their high quality meats because of the minimal operator attention that is necessary to run this plant.
The basis of our CMFF® technology is the biological growth on polyethylene pieces called media or carriers. These surfaces provide a protective surface area for the biology to grow. The biofilms can handle extremely high loading conditions without any problems with clogging or shock.
Biowater's CMFF® Complete Mix Fixed-Film treatment plant has many benefits:
- Compact
- Highly efficient biofilm
- Flexible design – use any size tanks
- Easy retrofit
- Remote Monitoring
- Eliminates sludge return
- Low capital cost
- Low operational costs
Biowater Technology is an international provider of biological water and wastewater treatment systems. Our products include: CMFF ® , CFAS ® , Package Systems and a new generation of MBBR-CFIC® . Our employees offer over 40 years' experience in the water and wastewater industry. The company focus is on the development and sales of innovative technologies and solutions for both industrial and municipal markets. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and knowledge of biological fixed film design. For more information contact Jill Bibby at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at +1 401-305-3622 www.biowatertechnology.com.

The Daily Escape:
Frenchman Bay, viewed from Cadillac Mountain, Acadia NP, ME – 2019 photo by pmek99. Note the cruise ships lining up to visit Bar Harbor.
Following up on our post about climate change, many responded by attacking the premise that climate change is happening or, that it is due to human causes.
There have always been deniers. For example, a survey conducted by the YouGov-Cambridge Global Project in partnership with the Guardian, found that 13% of Americans believe that humans are not at all responsible for climate change. Another 5% of Americans don't even believe the climate is changing. So, 18% think we shouldn't worry about climate change.
Then again, 20% believe that extraterrestrials live amongst us.
Wrongo isn't sure that we are focused correctly when we talk about climate change. It's not the planet that's in trouble, its humans. Humans thrive within a specific range of availability of water, air, and food, as do all animals. If one of the critical inputs is compromised, humans will fail to thrive, our habitable locations will shrink, and the human population will also shrink. The planet will survive.
For much of human history, humans have lived in hotter, dryer locations. They also survived in colder places, and in both, were able to live hard, but reasonably happy lives. Do we want to regress to that?
Peak human experience requires surpluses of food and livable space if the population is to grow. How can that happen on an overpopulated, resource-constrained planet?
Focus on this: Global population is projected to reach approximately 10.9 billion by 2100. If that is true, we will require 10X today's electricity output by 2100. When you think about it, even if today, we had already reached the (unrealistic) level of 50% of power sourced from renewables, that would equal only 5% of the power we will need 100 years from now.
So, where will all that energy come from? Can Silicon Valley invent a different form of electric power generation? Will the world go fully into nuclear power?
The same is true for water. Where will the increased water resources come from? Desalination?
Suppose there is no climate change. We are still facing peak oil and peak other resources. We live on a finite Earth. Think about energy: We're in a world of expanding energy demand. This will mean substantial shortages in the medium-term, which means immense and unavoidable energy price increases.
Politically, the higher prices should be used to defray the energy costs of the majority of the population that isn't rich enough to pay them. Doing that will take a different economic system than we have today.
Can deniers also wish these problems away?
- We live in a world where the big polluters, corporations, are dedicated to maximizing short term returns for a relatively few wealthy beneficiaries.
- We still live in a Neoliberal world where government works for the few, where government largess continually transfers income to the wealthy, while our infrastructure is allowed to decay.
- We still live in a world where economic growth cannot be sustained forever without collapse.
It will take a global mobilization that is massive, disruptive and smart to deal with the resources constraint, even if there wasn't any climate change. What we really lack is the SOCIAL technology to mobilize corporations and politicians to bring about change.
Concern about the twin problems of finite resources and climate change hasn't brought about any particular political, social or spiritual commitment on the part of the power elites in finance, corporations or politics.
For all of our superiority at the apex of the animal kingdom, we seem unwilling to solve what surely lies ahead. That's why we see Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old scolding world leaders, with 4 million kids standing behind her. To adapt, we will require a Manhattan Project-level of effort, but we'll have to do all that work in the face of depleted resources, an unstable climate, and a contracting economy.
We have choices. We can continue as we are, or we can stop now, take a moment to reassess, and then put ourselves on an alternative path, as the younger generation says we must.
Thunberg challenges us to stop being selfish, to care about the future, to care about living things and recognize that we are all part of the natural world, and that our commitment to continuing economic growth is killing the planet.
We should listen, organize, and act.

Item #
Item # 154021.
By Angela K. Ahlgren.
This book places North American taiko in the context of Asian American identity, the Asian American movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and the history of taiko in Japan. It further defines the scope and aims of the study, highlighting gender, race, and sexuality as key lenses through which taiko can be understood.
The work defines and complicates what "Asian America" means and how it intersects productively with embodied performance, ultimately arguing that taiko players from a range of backgrounds express Asian American politics through their involvement in the art form. A brief history of taiko in the United States draws on more than 20 original interviews conducted by the Japanese American National Museum. Paper: 200 pp.

Brianna Michaud took this pursuit of sexual purity a step further; she and her future husband didn't even kiss while they were dating. Here's her story:
"For most brides in this day and age, wearing a white dress on their wedding day doesn't mean the same thing it used to.
It is a mere formality, nothing more than a treasured tradition, the symbolism and meaning behind it lost on a modernized moral worldview.
The white dress is supposed to symbolize purity. The purity of an unblemished bride being given away to her beloved on her wedding day. Sounds pretty old school, right?<center> </center>

Forget being a virgin on your wedding day, nowadays most newlyweds are already living together before marriage. Virginity is a thing of the past, or so the world and Hollywood would like you to believe. That's why my story is so unique.
I was more than a virgin on my wedding day. While most brides spent their time meticulously preparing every little detail for their big day, my husband and I had the end game in mind, preparing for our marriage. I didn't want a wedding to last me a lifetime and end up with a marriage to last as a faded memory. I wanted a marriage that lasted a lifetime and a wedding with a lasting memory.
My husband Daniel and I met in college; in our school's cafeteria to be exact. He was in front of me in the omelet line, and we struck up a conversation. We both attended a small Christian University and had seen each other before, but the omelet line is where it all began.
We were both passionate about our faith, and believed it should permeate through every facet of our lives, which is why we had both opted in our recent years not to date and to instead wait for the right person at the right time. I am so glad that we both waited, because that right person had just so happened to come at the right time for both of us. However, neither of us was fully prepared for what whirlwind adventure would be in store after a seemingly innocent conversation in that long lunch line of our school's cafeteria.
Before I knew it, there was a gorgeous ring on my finger. I couldn't believe how fast it all was happening, but the ease with which it all happened never ceased to amaze me. My heart was so full.
My husband and I chose not only to wait to have sex, but to kiss as well. We had our first kiss after we were engaged, and then we chose to wait until our wedding day to kiss again. Most people in our sphere agreed with our philosophy of waiting for sex, but many thought it was peculiar we were not kissing, considering we were in love and getting married.
My husband and I each had our own personal journeys that led us to our decision. We got married very young, and setting such strong boundaries proved to our peers and families that this wasn't just a fling, or a whirlwind decision, but that we were serious about our pursuit of marriage and that our love was not mere infatuation.
We were mature enough in our youth to know exactly what we were embarking upon.
Before I go any further in sharing our story, I want to clarify that my husband and I did not grow up in a home like the Duggars. We were not some weird social outcasts or religious fanatics. We are not some special brand of Christian.
We both had a past and we had tasted enough of this world to know that what the God of the Bible (who we worship) had to offer for a satisfying life and overflowing marriage was far better than anything we had tried to achieve on our own. My husband was not a virgin when we got married despite me being one and that was a huge driving force into our decision to not kiss since he regretted not having waited for me. That's why we knew purity went beyond the scope of just "not having sex" for us — because valuing purity would also spill into our marriage.
Daniel and I will have been married five years come January 1st, and we've never, for one second regretted our decision to wait. We got to spend our courtship really getting to know each other with our eyes wide open. Time that would have normally been spent on making out, for example, was instead spent serving together, sharing life together, and falling deeper in love with each other.
And while it wasn't easy, all those times it was so difficult to wait in our courtship dissipated on our wedding day. Choosing to wait on a sexual connection until our wedding day put clarity between us so that we could be unbiased in our pursuit of one another.
We bore our naked souls to one another before baring our naked bodies. Our marriage and sex life has been all the better for it.
I am not trying to persuade anyone that waiting to have sex will give you a perfect marriage. Virginity is not the secret ingredient to a happily-ever-after. I believe God is. We don't have a perfect marriage, we're still a work in progress, but I know that saving such a soul-entwining bond as sex for our marriage is what has united and deepened our covenant.
There was no greater feeling than to walk down that aisle on my wedding day knowing I saved myself for the one whom my soul loves. No man had ever seen me naked, or touched my most intimate parts; my husband was going to be the first and only man to see and to have all of me. My husband was going to be the only man to love all of me because he is the only man who deserves all of me.
As far as the concern for the pleasure of virginal sex, let me nail this to the proverbial cross once and for all. The beauty of being a virgin on your wedding day is that sex only gets better and better. I know this because I am speaking from personal experience. It can only get better because you have nothing to compare it to except for the last time you thought it couldn't get any better.
Sex is pleasurable. The myth that sex wouldn't be as pleasurable if you waited is just a lie perpetuated by ignorant people who've put sex out of its context. Marriage channels sex in the right direction when it makes sex about giving all of yourself first.
You can't truly have great sex without love, and you can't fully consummate your love without sex, which is why marriage is the perfect avenue for the two. When you're having sex outside of marriage, you're focusing on the pleasure of sex with that person, not on the pleasure of the person you're having sex with. Rather than using someone for sex, in a marriage you're using sex to continuously act out your love for that person.
In marriage, having sex is pleasurable because of the person you're having sex with.
There's a common belief in this world that your first time should be special, and I agree wholeheartedly. I believe the reason most people feel this way about what their first time should be like is because deep down in our souls we innately know how otherworldly and sacred sex truly is, despite the world's best efforts to cheapen it.
Sex is the intertwining of two souls that can never be undone. What could be more special than to have your first time on your wedding night on one of the most momentous days of your life, pledging yourself to the person you love more than life itself?
We share our story not to judge people who didn't wait (like I mentioned earlier we, too, have pasts), but we share our story because we want people to know that waiting until your wedding night to kiss or have sex was an important decision to us that we believe was worth the wait."
Brianna adds: "…and it's a decision we haven't regretted one bit."

I was playing my kit ES3 acoustically this morning and it struck me that the tone of the guitar has really improved to my ear over time. I also noticed that the minimal poly spray that I used seems to have really hardened up over the 2.5 years since building (it initially felt a bit soft). The strings are so old they should be beyond dead, so they cant be given the credit. The body seems more "tap" resonant as well, like an acoustic.
It really has me thinking that the both the timber and finish contained some moisture that has now dried out and seasoned, allowing this jazz box to really start resonating. Might be my imagination, but I'm happy :-)
Has anyone else had a similar experience with long term use?

So much has happened during the 2013-14 campaign in Philadelphia that the Peter Laviolette firing seems like it occurred in a different season.
There was the Claude Giroux Olympic snub, then his push for the Hart Trophy. Steve Mason carried the team for a stretch in November, and then was rewarded with a new contract. Paul Holmgren got an early jump on addressing his defensive needs with the addition and subsequent contract extension of defenseman Andrew MacDonald.
In the end, the Flyers were back in the playoffs, and the hiring of Craig Berube proved to be a strong one, with his steady improvement of the Flyers in all facets of the game, overcoming a slow start to make a playoff push.
But their elimination in seven games to the New York Rangers shows there's still work to be done in Philadelphia. This is where the focus should shift this summer:
1. Squeeze one more season out of Kimmo Timonen
Timonen's contract is up after this season and the Flyers would love to have him back, but at 39 years old it's quite possible that he opts to hang up the skates. He's lost a step, but is so smart defensively that his positioning and savvy make up for his lack of foot speed.
He had strong possession numbers this season, aided in part by starting 55.2 percent of his even-strength shifts in the offensive zone (per behindthenet.ca). The payoff is a relative Corsi of 13.9, which put him in the top five among NHL defensemen who played at least 70 games this season.
The only guys higher in that category were T.J. Brodie, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Jake Gardiner and Matt Niskanen.

According to Django Unchained's executive producer Michael Shamberg, the Django Unchained production is "halfway through." Shamberg, who was also an executive producer of Pulp Fiction, recently told Slashfilm the following:
I've seen some stuff and it's amazing. We're still shooting and my partner Stacey [Sher] is producing with Pilar Savone who worked for Quentin and Reggie Hudlin. I'm exec-producing and we're like, maybe, half-way through. You have no idea. It's the most amazing film cause, as you know, it's a spaghetti western about slavery and Quentin's vocabulary is such that it's just pure entertainment, Leonardo's the bad guy, it's gonna be awesome.
We're halfway there! This only reinforces my speculation that the trailer release date will occur sometime during the summer blockbuster season.
Speaking of interviews with behind-the-scenes staff, Django Unchained's cinematographer Robert Richardson was quoted briefly in a Film Journal article about shooting in 3D. He once again mentioned that Django Unchained is being shot on film, and had the following to say about the medium:
I am hoping that film can survive for as long as possible… Virtually every film is digitized in one way or another, so we have to think about that: the digital media sweep." Moving forward, "I don't think there are any limits for it. 3D is a very solid step. I believe it [can be]15, 20%, to give an arbitrary percentage. The advantage is a tool towards what filmmakers can use, if used as just that—as a tool, not as a gimmick.
Richardson recently won an Academy Award for his work in Hugo.

A softsell magazine ran a caption insinuating that she wants to become the next female governor of the state.
She did not deny nor distance herself from the publication. She instead, affirmed that
"It's time for women to take the lead" in the state.
If she does this, she would be setting another record. She is the first female Federal Rep to represent her people (?).
Her family, the Igbinedions, would also be the first family in the State, and Nigeria at large, to produce two governors.
It would be a tough one for her though. Edo State is generally perceived as a misogynistic state. Heck, a woman has never made it to the seat of deputy governor in the state.
Dreams are valid when they acted on and become reality. No one gave her a chance when she ran for her current seat. Everyone I talked to wrote her off.......But she campaigned and won. Let's see what her next political move would be.

In May 1938 130 deerstalkers met in Invercargill for the official formation of the New Zealand Deerstalkers' Association. Little could they have realised the crucial role this organisation was to play during the next 75 years in fighting for the very survival of New Zealand's big game herds.
Ever since 1930 the big game animals of New Zealand have been classed as pests. Extermination was the bottom line of government policy. In turn deer culling, the use of aerial 1080 poison and commercial hunting, often from helicopters to ensure wholesale slaughter, were promoted by public authorities as ways of killing off these animals.
The New Zealand Deerstalkers' Association has been involved in campaigns to save the wapiti herd of Fiordland, the rusa deer of the Ureweras, the sambar of the Manawatu, and the tahr of South Canterbury. Only through arduous research in the field and intense political lobbying has the NZDA been able to achieve these campaigns.
The switch in recent years from an extermination policy to big-game management and the creation of recreational hunting areas, and the formation of the Game Animal Council are due in a large part to the work of NZDA members.
The NZDA has always promoted conservation of New Zealand's native flora and fauna, and the conservation of New Zealand's unique environment as central to our sport and to the New Zealand way of life. The NZDA has made important contributions to hunting at the personal as well as at the policy-making level. The NZDA has always been steadfast on the importance of ethics to hunting, raising the individual standards of hunters, fostering a a sense of true sportsmanship – comradeship, respect for the quarry and a love of the outdoors of New Zealand.

Longford crowned League champions
The great news is that Longford RFC are promoted as Leinster League Champions for the first time in the club's history. Last Sunday in the Demesne, in a nail biting, heart fluttering, championship decider, Longford produced a dramatic finale worthy of the occasion. They gave a display of guts, determination and class worthy of champions when they came back from 3-11 down to claim the title in the dying minutes of injury time, with a drop goal from heaven from out half Colm Glynn. This sent the large home support into ecstasy and they gave a roar that lifted the roof of the stand. The drought had ended and we were now in the promised land!
On a day like this everybody was a hero. It was a warm day, hard pitch, fast pace and heavy hits. Nothing comes easy and Clondalkin who had ambitions to be champions themselves wanted this crown every bit as much as Longford. They would have succeeded only for the grim determination and steely resolve of the Longford lads, who to a man gave everything they had to the jersey and the cause. Those on the pitch were playing for all of the players who through injury or other reasons were unable to tog out as much as they were playing for themselves, and this spirit drove Longford on for final victory.
Longford started brightly and went 3 nil up after 9 minutes when Colm Glynn kicked a penalty which was just reward for good pressure from the pack. The pack had a great day out and soldiered long and hard along with a defiant backline, which never yielded an inch. Clondalkin were rewarded in the 16th minute for some fine play when their out half J. Jebb scored a fine drop goal to level the match at 3-3. Longford despite many near misses couldn't touch the ball down for a try during the next period of play and eventually in the 24th minute Jebb gave Clondalkin the lead 3-6 when he kicked a penalty. No further scores were registered for the rest of the half, but it was not for the want of trying. It was a ding-dong affair and after 7 minutes of injury time, Clondalkin ended up in front 3-6 at half time.
The second half started brightly for Longford but they were still unable to register a score through a combination of unfortunate circumstances and rank bad luck. They crossed the line twice, a penalty rebounded off the posts and it looked like it was going to be one of those days. The ferocity of the match meant that substitutions were going to be a key factor and Longford introduced Derek Farrell and Jimmy Connolly to the fray in the second half.
In the 58th minute Clondalkin struck when they scored a try which they were unable to convert and they raced into a shock 3-11 lead. This try though well taken was against the run of play and proved to be a huge boost to Clondalkin. Longford who had gathered under the posts reminded themselves of what they had done previously in Clondalkin when they found themselves behind responded like champions. The pack led by their captain Paul Gallogly, Fran Deffew and the man from Coonamble Tom Cullen aided and abetted by trojan work by Ronan Keith, Greg McGill, Mick Murphy, Kevin Coffey and Hubie Connolly ensured that Clondalkin were going to be driven back at every opportunity. The pack enabled scrum half Neal Farrell to fire out a steady supply of ball for the backline to gain territory. Some fine running by centres Gareth Johnson and Derek Bannon, flying wingers Ciaran Kennedy and Gary Greene and the strong running from Riaan Van Der Vyvver ensured pressure was kept on Clondalkin. After 67 minutes this pressure yielded a penalty which was converted by Glynn to leave the score 6-11.
After 76 minutes following a prolonged pressure by Longford another penalty was converted by Glynn to leave the score 9-11 and the game entered injury time with the outcome undecided. The final act of the match was when, following ferocious rucking and driving by the whole Longford team, Glynn coolly put Longford ahead with a fine drop goal that sent the crowd into delight and put Longford 12-11 up 7 minutes into injury time. A further 2 minutes of injury time was played but Longford were not to be denied and Neal Farrell ended the match by kicking the ball to touch.
Longford: Greg McGill, Ronan Keith, Fran Deffew, Mick Murphy, Tom Cullen, Kevin Coffey, Hughbie Connolly, Kevin Coffey, Paul Gallogly (c) Neal Farrell, Colm Glynn, Derek Bannon, Gareth Johnson, Gary Greene, Ciaran Kennedy, Riaan Van Der Vyvver

Application Of Management Science Tools To Effective Decision Making: A Case Study Of Smart Hvac Products In Qatar
AuthorAlhorr, Dana Yousef
MetadataShow full item record
Qatar is a fast-developing country, and this rapid growth increases the need for the introduction of new product ideas to the market aiming to satisfy customer's needs. However, not all product ideas are equally attractive and not products are applicable since some product ideas require high investments and tend to have a high risk. Moreover, recent studies have shown that the process of applying new product screening techniques is very crucial to the company's managers, where the process of investigating the products successfulness saves significant investments and opportunity costs, without killing the newly generated product ideas. Unfortunately, some managers still take decisions regarding new product ideas informally and in an unsystematic way although there is always room for improvements in the area of decision making. In this project, an actual application of management science tools including the Monte-Carlo Simulation and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) are illustrated as decision support tools to aid the CEO of Company X in Qatar to select the best product idea to pursue. The project aims to show the CEO of Company X how such tools are useful in decision making when conflicting objectives and complex situations arise, and the final decision to be made becomes ambitious.

RJD President Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra today appeared in a special CBI court here following its direction in connection with a multi-crore rupee fodder scam case.
In pursuance of the order of Special CBI court judge Devraj Tripathi for personal appearance of all the 31 accused, Lalu Prasad, Jagannath Mishra and others including some IAS officers were present in the court.
Prasad's lawyer Chitranjan Sinha apprised the court of the presence of his client.
After a brief session in the jam-packed Special CBI court, the judge fixed May 10 as next date for hearing of the case relating to withdrawal of Rs 46 lakh illegally from treasuries in Bhagalpur and Banka by the Animal Husbandry department between 1994 to 1996.
Besides the two, Animal Husbandry Department minister in previous RJD government Vidya Sagar Nishad, former RJD MP R K Rana and some retired IAS officers like Beck Julius and Phoolchand Singh were present in the court among others.
Besides Prasad and Mishra, 29 others are accused in the fodder scam case lodged by CBI on May 15, 1996.
As Prasad came out of the court after appearance in the morning, a large number of RJD workers holding party flags shouted slogan in support of the party chief.
The charge sheet was submitted in the case against 44 persons in 2003.
The RJD chief and Mishra are currently on bail after conviction in the case.
The fodder scam relates to fraudulent withdrawal of around Rs 1000 crore by Animal Husbandry department from various districts when Lalu Prasad served as the Chief Minister of Bihar from 1990 to 1997.
Lalu Prasad had to give up his CM's post when he was first arrested in the case in 1997 and had handed over the reins to his wife Rabri Devi.
After conviction in a case of fodder scam in Ranchi, Prasad was disqualified from Lok Sabha in accordance with the new law and is still debarred from contesting polls.

Hilary Hart, one of the class acts of the San Francisco film scene, who has been the publicist for the San Francisco Film festival and film society for as long as I can remember — definitely ever since I was a very young man — definitely since before I was in any way, shape or form BALD — is leaving her post at the Film Society.
A publicist is a very important person in any organization. Relationships with the press are built over the course of years. These relationships are based on trust, a trust that is earned. If Hilary calls a journalist and says this is good, this should be covered, a journalist is going to think twice about not listening to her, because the journalist knows she means it, that she would not lie.
No organization could consider dismissing a beloved, longtime publicist and expect the replacement to command that same level of trust and respect. Such thinking would be delusional and misguided.
Anyone who knows just how much Hilary adored Graham Leggat, the late and still very lamented head of the Film Society, will remember with awe and emotion how well she blasted through her grief to serve as the public face of that organization when Graham became ill and when he died in late August of 2011. Her work was both human and exemplary.
Anyone who admires grace under pressure must respect Hilary's handling of the crisis when Leggat's successor, Bingham Ray, suffered a stroke and died while at Sundance earlier this year.
I hear that the Film Society is planning to announce a replacement for Bingham Ray soon. Here is one guess as to the successor: Hilary Hart. That would be at least a sensible explanation for Hilary Hart's no longer being in the job that she has made her own over the last 20 years or so. It would also be a brilliant choice, one that would enhance the organization and express its reverence for the memory of Graham Leggat in the most eloquent way possible — by revering and respecting someone he depended on, and trusted, and never, ever, ever would have let go.
