I had them all MOMC, then slimmed down to about 10 over the past few weeks. I just got this "I am sure someone else would appretiate these more than me" mentality, and I wanted to kind of streamline my collection down to what I really wanted. Of course, I kept TC-14, Sio Bibble, Swimming Jar Jar and the like.
I still need the pit droid 2-pack to complete my collection.I'd also like to get the hard to find accessory sets that I still dont ever see anywhere for sale at a descent price.They rarely ever come up on Ebay and when they do the bidding gets way out of control.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors late Tuesday accepted $23.4 million in state funding for a dozen projects designed to increase the county's water supply.
The money comes from bonds issued under Proposition 84 — the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006.
The grant will be used to replenish underground aquifers. One San Fernando Valley project is expected to add enough capacity to supply 42,000 residents with drinking water for a year.
Funding is also earmarked for the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, West Basin Municipal Water District and the cities of Los Angeles, Carson, Calabasas and Agoura Hills.
The 12 projects are expected to cost about $140 million in total. The balance will come from the county's Flood Control District and local project sponsors.
About $100 million has been awarded to the county through a state program intended to foster collaboration between municipalities and various water agencies to increase the overall water supply, according to Department of Public Works Director Gail Farber.
"This latest infusion of state funds … will go a long way toward ensuring a more sustainable water future for L.A. County," she said.

Connecting with your Crystal
Welcome your new crystal into your home by setting aside a little one on one time for just the two of you! Sit with your crystal and feel its energy opening and connecting with your heart center. Find a special place to keep your crystal where you will see it often and be able to connect with it. Working with Crystals for Crystal Healing is a fun, easy way to elevate your personal energy and deepen your connection with Mother Earth. Each Crystal is unique and offers its own special gifts. See our Crystal Definitions page for more info on specific crystal types.
How to Activate your Crystal
Crystals love to work with a purpose! In general, they are already "Turned On" and busy doing their own thing: Elevating Energies and pumping out Good Vibes! This is their natural state. We can tap into these elevated energies and combine forces by working with our crystals to expand and elevate our own energies and to connect with our highest self. This is done through activation and will set a field of expanded energies that will help us in our daily lives as we practice and deepen this connection with our crystalline friends.
To begin an activation, clear your mind and sit quietly with your crystal. Connect with your heart center and through your heart center connect with the crystal you are holding. This crystal is sharing its love and light with you, as you share your love and light with your crystal.
Think of activation as the growing and expansion of energy layers. The first activation establishes a connection between the crystal and the user, creating the first layer. These layers continue to grow, for both ourselves and the crystal, as we continue to connect. This energy field becomes more stable over time as we continue to connect and reconnect.
Cleansing your Crystal
Stones of all kinds are energetically alive. Crystals and Gemstones carry their own vibrations and can be influenced by subtle energies and/or thoughts and actions taking place around them. Crystals also have the ability to be cleansed of influences that have touched them before or after they have come to you. When gemstones are energetically cleansed they are cleared of all energies other than their own, and until they are used again in ritual or meditation, they will generally remain cleared. For some people, it is important to cleanse, wash and purify their gemstones and crystals before using them. For others it is not. This is really a personal preference, one that you may feel into on an individual basis.
Feel into your crystal when you first receive it. How does it feel? Does it feel yummy and scrumptious; is it a pure delight? Then maybe it doesn't need cleared at all. But, if you feel guided to make this new gemstone truly a piece of your own, and perhaps also to have a special bonding session with your new crystalline friend, then cleansing your crystals should be easy and fun. Below are a few ideas for consideration, but you may be inspired by something entirely different! The key is to have an open heart and to connect with your crystals just as you would with any person or spirit guide.
Listed below is one of our favorite methods. For a more exhaustive list of possibilities, see our Crystal Cleansing Guide.
Cleansing your crystals with the method of energy and intention:
Hold your crystal with the intention of Pure Love & Light enfolding it. Feel yourself and your crystal being surrounded within a sphere of very supportive white or golden light energy. (You may also play with different colors, if you enjoy color healing!) Begin to feel Cosmic Love and Source Energy flowing throughout your body and directly into your crystal. Stay within this protective sphere for as long as you feel guided. This is also an excellent way to begin any meditation.

Considering their big-money wide receiver contract this offseason went to the oft-injured Danny Amendola and not Wes Welker, there are reasonable concerns about the Patriots' first option in the passing game.
But with Aaron Hernandez gone and Rob Gronkowski recovering from back surgery (not to mention Brandon Lloyd being shown the door), the secondary targets for Tom Brady are all question marks at this point.
The Patriots ran through the options on their official website, pointing out that running back Shane Vereen saw time in spring drills split wide, as they hope to use him more in the passing game.
There's plenty of room for someone to emerge, whether it's Vereen, drafted wideouts Aaron Dobson or Josh Boyce or their collection of stray veteran pickups (Michael Jenkins, Lavelle Hawkins, Donald Jones, Leon Washington).
As long as they have Brady, there's a general sense that they'll figure out a way, as he's been the best deodorant for iffy groups of receivers before.
But unless Amendola and Gronkowski can stay on the field, Brady's going to have to work harder than ever to cover up the lack of outside talent.

Two Little Giants Report on Chilean Miners
by Jim Amidon
October 13, 2010
Two Wabash alumni are on the ground at the San Jose Mine in Chile to report on the rescue of the 33 trapped miners, whose rescue is ongoing Wednesday. Tim Padgett '84 is reporting for
magazine and Peter Prengaman '98 is reporting for the Associated Press.
Padgett has reported on the accident that trapped the miners August 5 since the time of the incident. He reported on the first miner rescued — Florencio Avalos — in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Read Padgett's full account of the rescue operation here
Read Tim's additional coverage (from Tuesday) here.
Like Padgett, Prengaman is a frequent contributor for Associated Press in its coverage of Latin America, and also reported following the devastating earthquake that ravaged Haiti.
On Tuesday, Prengaman turned the camera on the media — the thousand or so journalists who have descended on the San Jose Mine to provide the world's coverage of one of the most miraculous rescues of all time.
Listen to Prengaman's report here
Prior to beginning their careers as journalists, both Padgett and Prengaman wrote for Wabash's student newspaper,
The Bachelor.
Padgett served as editor of
The Bachelor
, while Prengaman was a news and features editor during his time at Wabash. Prengaman was also a member of the Wabash swimming and diving team and was a Rhodes Scholar Finalist.

The idea of RIB racing probably appeals to many powerboaters, but it's considered an expensive hobby. That's all set to change with the ability to cross-over from leisure RIBs into RIB racing with very little investment. Then it's just a stepping stone from RIB ocean racing to powerboat racing!
RIBs - a great family boat
RIBs are a great family boat and a good low cost investment in a craft that can handle most sea states easily and safely. As RIBs grow in popularity across the globe, it's good news for RIB owners and serious enthusiasts.
The big benefit of this new International Class 1100 for RIB racing is that owners of the many different designs of RIBs can take part in competitive events in a standard, safe, fair and enjoyable manner.
RIBRacing, which already exists in Belgium, Greece and Holland, is scheduled to be introduced in Ireland in 2012 through the Irish Offshore Powerboat Racing Club and the ISA, and I'm sure will be introduced in the UK. The UIM International Class 1100 for RIB Racing is the governing rules for this class.

The importance of navigation equipment
Irrespective of whether I'm doing extreme offshore marathon racing with Team Pulsar, or out with my family for a leisurely afternoon, one requirement is constant and that's reliable marine electronics for navigation and communication.
With Team Pulsar, Raymarine is the vital kit we choose in offshore racing. We equipped our RIBs with Raymarine's E Series Widescreen Multifunction Displays. In the Around Ireland Offshore race these were invaluable, as the HybridTouch™ technology allowed us to operate the multifunction display with touch-screen or hard key, so the rough conditions didn't affect our navigators' ability to use the equipment to its full capabilities. The screens allow us to capture the enormous amount of information we need and can provide just about any data you need at a glance - vital when racing at such high speeds.

How to refer to disability
Over the last decade, the way in which we refer to people with disabilities has changed. Many words and phrases that were traditionally used are now considered offensive to people with disabilities.
Applications to the Quality of Life Grants Program should use "disability-friendly" or "people-first language."
Here are some tips for how to refer to disability in your application:
Adapted from the Research and Training Center on Independent Living at University of Kansas Amalfi Black Black Amalfi Beppu Guidelines: How to Write and Report About People with Disabilities
Put people first, not their disability
- Use phrases such as Beppu Black Black Amalfi Amalfi woman with a spinal cord injury, a child who has a physical disability, or person with a disability. This puts the focus on the individual, not the condition or cause of their disability.
- Don't label people as a disability. For example, don't use the phrase Maria is a quad. Write Maria is a young woman with quadriplegia.
- Don't refer to groups as a disability. Use people with cystic fibrosis or people who have cancer.
- Use the word accessible to refer to accommodations for people who have a disability. For example, replace disabled or handicapped parking space or playground with accessible parking space or playground.
Avoid negative labeling and condescending euphemisms
- Saying afflicted with, crippled with, victim of or suffers from devalues individuals with disabilities by portraying them as helpless objects of pity and charity. These types of words or phrases should not be used in grant applications.
- Don't use emotional descriptors such as unfortunate or pitiful. Use phrases such as individual with AIDS instead of a person who suffers from AIDS64 Hummel Mono 016 Dress Stadil Junior Low Canvas 7459 Blue Kids qw18qAB.
- Don't use euphemisms to describe disabilities. Terms such as Black Black Beppu Amalfi Amalfi handicapable, differently-abled, special, and challenged reinforce the idea that people cannot deal honestly with their disabilities.
Don't imply disease when discussing disabilities
Don't refer to individuals with disabilities as patients or cases unless their relationship with their doctor is under discussion, or if they are referenced in the context of a hospital or clinical setting.
Emphasize abilities, not limitations
For example, say our clients use a wheelchair instead of are confined to wheelchairs or wheelchair-bound.

Members of the 104th Domestic Violence Unit, Youth Services and Community Affairs were at the Ridgewood park for an afternoon of fun and to promote child safety ID kits.
"We brought the kids out today, not only to have fun but to meet some of the different units we have in the Police Department," said Community Affairs officer Thomas Bell.
Bell and the other officers showed children how to use the siren and intercom in a typical police squad car, the importance of using safety gear while on duty and let loose on the climbing wall.
"We didn't want to make a big spectacle of the thing, but we did want to get a little more intimate with the community," Bell said. "We're going to do it again."
City Council candidate Antonio Reynoso said more outreach events are needed to connect police with the district.
"It's great to see that more is done with the community outside of National Night Out," Reynoso said. "The 104th Precinct is a great example of a precinct that tries to do a lot more than that when it comes to community relations."
Abraham Markowitz, vice president of the 104th Precinct's Community Council, said he is looking forward to representing the community at the precinct.
"Our goal is to give out some information to the community," Markowitz said.
The next community council meeting is scheduled for September 24 at St. Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, 66-05 79th Pl. in Middle Village.

In recent years, the NBA has showcased a variety of creative three-point celebrations. We've seen the championship belt, the three goggles, and the three-to-the-head, among others. But none of those moves are quite like what JaVale McGee dropped on us last night after hitting a buzzer-beating three (his first of the season).
McGee stirs up what looks like an imaginary yet delicious bowl of food, then proceeds to lick the sweet taste of victory off three of his fingers. Even better than the celebration itself is the fact that McGee—who had attempted four three-pointers in his entire career before last night—had clearly practiced the move beforehand, and was simply waiting for the perfect time to unleash it.

If you are waiting for the perfect time to buy your custom made drapery for your home, hotel or business, there may never be a better time than right now. The truth is that, when it comes to custom silk drapes or Roman Shades, the price of raw silk from India is climbing every month. In fact, prices of silk fabrics have increased 20% from 2013 to 2014. The reason for the increase is complicated but the short story is that most of the worlds silk fabrics are woven in India. India has been the world leader in producing silk fabrics for literally hundreds of years. The problem that India has, however, is that they rely on China for the "raw silk". Raw Silk is harvested from Silk Works who naturally produce raw silk. The raw silk is harvested just like any other natural product would be – and it is susceptible to environmental forces. Too much rain, too little rain, too much heat or too little heat effects production. No different really than how Midwest and Southwest Farmers in the US harvest cotton. The difference is that the raw silk comes from the silk work, so it is really more analogous to harvesting milk from cows. Unfortunately the weather in China in recent years has not been optimal for silk worm production.
The second and more serious long-term issue facing India's Silk Production is the rise of China's Middle Class. As little as 15 years ago their was a very small segment of China's population who would even consider buying products made of Silk. Today the economy in China is booming and the middle-class is exploding. With this new found wealth, more Chinese are buying products made in Silk. Families are buying traditional Chinese Kimonos made in silk rather than polyester or a cheaper blend of synthetic materials. As this portion of China's Economy Grows, they are demanding more of the Products and Services that once were considered "Export Only". As a result, China is keeping the majority of best quality of Raw Silk for themselves. The lower quality Raw Silk is now sent to India where the Mills have much more difficulty yielding good quality silk fabrics in high volume. Thus, prices go up.
The global impact of China's rising Middle-Class and the increased demand for aspirational products and services is that the price of those products and services will rise around the world. When you consider that China has the largest population on the planet, even minute increases in domestic consumption can send shock-waves around the world.
What does this mean to US Consumers of products like Silk Drapes? It means that prices will only be increasing for the foreseeable future.

If it's been a while since a loving gaze has fallen upon you, consider buying an $8 ticket for a group session with Croatian faith gazer Braco at a Boulder hotel Wednesday and Thursday.
A full-day pass to gazing sessions costs $72. Braco's supporters and promoters say "through a silent gaze, Braco has helped transform the lives of thousands throughout Europe."
They claim the 45-year-old man's gaze has effected incredible healings and other spontaneous spontaneous changes in people's lives, such as feelings of emotional well-being, beneficial influence on relationships and a greater connection to people in general. The gaze reportedly can "awaken and realign one's natural state of balance and harmony."
"Braco does not call himself a healer," publicist Edith Billups said. "He simple sends out a loving energy from the Divine."
Billups said Braco, whose sessions at his center in Zagreb, Croatia, are always free, doesn't personally receive any compensation for sharing his gift.
In Boulder, Braco will be at the Millennium Hotel — Harvest House, 1345 28th St., 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. For information on tickets, visit www.braco.net.

Industry Findings
In the last decade or so, finite element technology has become a generic enabling technology across a broad spectrum of industrial sectors. However the scale, depth and level of maturity of application varies widely. This diversity is to be expected given the differing issues and drivers confronting the different industrial sectors. Nevertheless there are a number of common issues reported from all industrial sectors.
FENET determined that the principal issues are:
- Integration of finite element technology and simulation into the wider business enterprise in order to deliver real business benefit.
- How to ensure and measure quality of finite element analysis. (this covers diverse topics including verification and validation, Q.A., the role of testing, data provenance etc.)
- How to categorise and analyse modern materials.
- How to allow, in a rational way, for the uncertainty that characterises real world problems. There is increasing recognition that as computer models become potentially more accurate, traditional deterministic descriptions can compromise this improvement. Accordingly, there is increased interest in methods such as probabilistic analysis, fuzzy logic and possibility theory.
Some of the other principal issues emerging from each of the industrial sectors covered in the network are discussed in the Industry Reports.

Andy Dalton was dreadful in the Bengals' opener, turning over the ball five times and finishing with the second-lowest passer rating of his career. He'll have one thing in his favor Thursday night: He tends not to let bad days linger.
The crowd at Paul Brown Stadium will get on Dalton if he comes out subpar when the Bengals host the Texans, with both teams coming off lopsided opening losses. Dalton, who grew up in the Houston suburb of Katy, has struggled throughout his career against the Texans' in-your-face defense.
"We had a down game, I had a down game," Dalton said . "I've just got to go back and play like I know I can play."
History is on his side.
He matched his career high with four interceptions and lost a fumble during a 20-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, the first time Cincinnati was shut out in a home opener. The crowd of 55,254 _ 10,000 below stadium capacity _ jeered him off the field. Dalton's passer rating of 28.4 was the second lowest of his career.
His only worse game was against the Browns in 2014, when he threw three interceptions at Paul Brown Stadium and had a rating of 2.0 during a 24-3 loss. Dalton followed it with a big game in a 27-10 win at New Orleans, throwing for three touchdowns and a rating of 143.9 that is the second best of his career.
"He's very competitive and very particular about things," coach Marvin Lewis said.
Dalton is 1-5 career against his hometown team, including a pair of first-round playoff losses. He's thrown three touchdowns and seven interceptions against the defense that's been in his face and in his head.
The Bengals expect his counterpart to be a rookie making his first NFL start , although the Texans hadn't said anything definitively. Deshaun Watson took over at halftime of a 29-7 loss to the Jaguars and was 12 of 23 for 102 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a fumble. The first-round pick is the ninth quarterback to play for the Texans in the past five seasons.
"He's a playmaker with good instincts, and he's young," Houston quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan said. "He's going to make some mistakes, and it's on us to keep working with him and minimize his mistakes and get rid of them, not repeat them."

DailyDirt: DIY Junk Food
from the urls-we-dig-up deptIs it still junk food if you make it yourself? If you feel guilty about buying junk food and have lots of time on your hands, here are a few links that might inspire you to try recreating some popular snacks at home.
- Here's a recipe for homemade Cheez-It crackers, which supposedly taste better than the store-bought version. By the time you're done making these, you'll wish that you had just gone to the store and bought a box of Cheez-Its. [url]
- McDonald's Canada has revealed exactly how they make their fries, "from the farm to the fryer." If you've ever wondered whether their fries are made from real potatoes, the answer is yes. Their fries are cut from whole potatoes harvested from farms in New Brunswick, Alberta, and Manitoba. [url]
- Read about one junk food enthusiast's attempts to recreate Twinkies, Hostess Cupcakes, Oreos, and Fritos. While some of the homemade versions were somewhat "healthier" calorie-wise, the general concensus was that there's just nothing like the real thing. [url]

Alyce Hardstaff - Business, General Business Projects in China
For all of you who are wondering if you should do a Business Internship in Shanghai, China, I'd say "yes, do it"! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to have an experience that you will not get anywhere else. I was so happy that I took a chance and decided to go.
I spent three months in Shanghai, working at the operations department at Xintiandi. Over this time I worked with my boss to create a training and development manual for the organisation's hotel 88 Xintiandi. It involved a fair amount of research and many drafts of the modules of the manual and many long conversations with my boss Jan about what he wanted among other things.
My usual working day began when I left the flat at 8am and walked through Zhongshan Park to the metro station. In order to get to work I had to catch two lines, this meant that I had to change lines each day at the very hectic People's Square. I would turn up to work sometime after 8.30am but before 9am ready to start the day. For the first couple of hours I would usually be doing some research and typing notes. After lunch I'd do more research or I'd drop into my boss Jan's office to have a chat about the project.
Sometimes the afternoons would involve participating in the training and development of the hotel's housekeeping employees. The day would finish at 5.30pm, when I would catch the metro back home. I would usually get home sometime between 6 and 7pm, I would either make my own thing for dinner or our flat would go out and eat somewhere and usually go out for a drink afterwards with friends.
Although I was working full time, I still managed to find plenty of time to experience Shanghai. I did the usual touristy things, such as the Shanghai Museum, Urban Planning Centre, Jade Buddha Temple, M50 Art Galleries, a boat cruise of the Hungpu River, getting a dress made at the South Bund Fabric Market and the World Expo.
I also managed to get out of Shanghai, one weekend a group of us went to Mount Huangshan. Walking up was tough (I wanted to catch the cable-car up), but watching the sun set and rise was well worth it. Another weekend we spent the day at a water village called Tongli. Before I flew back to Australia, I went to Hong Kong and Beijing. Both these cities were very different from Shanghai. It was nice in Hong Kong not having to look a dozen times before crossing the road for on coming motorcycles, cars, bikes or anything else coming your way.
Kevin, the Projects Abroad member of staff who had the responsibility of looking after us volunteers, would organise dinner at a different restaurant every couple of weeks. One time he organised a quiz, which was hosted by our flat. Those involved managed to raise over 1000 RMB, which went to a charity chosen by the winners.
I will admit that before I got to Shanghai that I did not expect my social life to be as busy as it was. There is plenty of nightlife in Shanghai, especially in the French Concession and the Bund. It did not take me long to find some of my favourites and regular places. For about four weeks on Sundays our flat went out to Tappenyaki for dinner.
My flat and a couple of other flats spent a lot of time together; we came to be one big international extended family. I have to say the friendships that I built with these individuals were a fantastic support when I was going through a hard time with something that happened back home. They kept me busy and distracted when I needed it most.
I recommend that when you go to places that you like, grab a business card. These are useful to show the card to the taxi driver next time you want to go there. If you have an i-phone, download the Shanghai Taxi app, just about anywhere in Shanghai can be found. I know other people have said it but be up for anything, you may only be in Shanghai once. From singing at KTV or going out when you do not really feel like it…..DO IT return home having no regrets.

In some cases your family history research may never be finished. It's a fact of research. The best bet is to write up and organize what you have now, before it is too late.
Even if your research is incomplete, leaving behind a written up adequate citations and a discussion of your research process and your conclusions is better than leaving a pile (or a hard drive) full of unorganized and un-analyzed material. Later researchers can build upon what you have done.
Just start putting things together. Genealogy is the cake batter that's never "quite ready for the oven." Sometimes you just have to bake it.
If you find more information, just add it to the frosting (grin!).

The door handle slowly started to rotate, silently turning full circle until it reached the end of its travel. For long seconds nothing else happened. The room was silent except for the sound of soft even breathing coming from the bed. Those with the barest of protests from the old hinges, the door began to open. Slowly the door inched forward revealing nothing behind it except for dark shadows in the unlit hallway. As the door opened fully a tiny movement of air made the candle on the bedside table gutter before flaring boldly back into life.
Not a sound came from the house. It was as if the world had suddenly gone into a time warp - suddenly time stood still. Noiselessly, a shadow detached itself from the doorway and glided across the room to stop beside the bed, where it began to take the form of a man dressed in a full length black coat. The keen eyes of the cat curled on the bed, glowed as its lips slowly curled back in a feral snarl, hair standing on end as it's back arched in terror. Hissing softly, the cat slowly got to its feet and carefully inched its way backwards off the duvet it had been quietly sleeping on.
The dark figure slowly reached down with his strong masculine hands and delicately grasped the edge of the duvet and drew it softly downwards, till the naked form of Kris was revealed lying on her side with her beautiful red hair cascading over her shoulders and softly caressing the creamy skin of her breasts. He had seen this beautiful sight of her more times than he could count, but every time seemed as if it were the first. Stepping back to admire the view of the figure before him, the dark figure removed his long black coat and sat on the chair located in a dark corner of the room. He proceeded to remove his shoes and stepped into the dressing room to change into more comfortable clothing so that he could work on this beautiful creature.
Kris seemed to be sleeping deeper than he had ever noticed before and was an advantage to him. She had not been expecting company so he was careful not to startle her out of such a deep sleep. Retrieving his bag from the doorway, he sat it up on the corner of the bed and removed several items, laying each item carefully beside the bag. Each item served a specific purpose and would make for a meaningful evening for Kris. Carefully, not to wake her, he placed a leather cuff on each of her ankles and then did the same to her wrists. She let out a heavy breath, but did not wake. He then picked up his restraining straps and attached her two wrists together. The next step would be to attach the spreader bar to her ankles. As he did so, Kris slowly rolled onto her stomach, which not only made it easier for him, but was right where he wanted her to be.
Kris awoke realizing that she had been partially restrained and began to struggle free from the bonds. Placing his knee on the small of her back to restrain her even further, he applies his razor strap across her buttocks, leaving his mark immediately. She squeals and proceeds to protest even harder and again he applies another stroke of the strap, this time crossing the last. Clenching her fists, she begs to know who he is as the candle lit room does not allow her to see her intruder, yet he does not speak. He proceeds to adjust the spreader bar and then attaches her wrists separately to the bedposts so that he has total control over her. Scared, she demands to know who he is and why he is in her house. Rather than answer, he proceeds to shut her up by placing a ball gag in her mouth and a blindfold across her eyes. Would this stranger hurt her? Kris wondered. Why did her Master pick this week to go out of town? Who knew he was away and that she was alone? The sound of a buzzing noise broke her questioning train of thought. Feeling his warm fingers in the crack of her backside, she began to tense up. He applied another slap across her bottom with his strap causing her to release the tension long enough for him to place a small vibrator in her bottom. Unable to protest at this time only intensified her fury, but the stranger seemed to be enjoying every moment of seeing her struggle.
The stranger proceeded to give Kris what he thought she needed that evening. After several strikes across the bottom with his razor strap, she was a little more willing to cooperate with him. He slid his hand between her legs and slid one finger inside of her, taking notice on how wet she had become. He then removed his finger and replaced it with another vibrator, and turned it on. He then placed something on her and attached it around her waist. She could not make out what he had put on her but he was releasing her arms from the bedposts at this time. Placing his arm under her waist, he pulled her up on her knees and hands and moved in front of her. She took notice that whatever it was that he attached seemed to be keeping the instruments he had applied in her bottom and vagina in place. He then removed the ball gag from her mouth. Using her hair to guide her, he forced her face to his groin and put his cock in her mouth. She was hesitant at first. This did not stop him from pumping her mouth in such a fashion that made her take him in deep. He proceeded to pump her mouth faster when he reached his climax and shot his load in her mouth. Once he had removed his cock from her mouth, she begged him to speak to her, demanded to know who he was…..but got no answer.
He placed two pillows underneath her and pushed her down over them. She could feel the pressure from the anal intruder as well as the sensation of the vibrator he had placed in her vagina. Her concentration was broken as he removed both of the toys from her holes, leaving her open to do as he pleased. She could feel his fingers around her bottom hole, lubricating it, plunging his fingers deep inside of her. He crawled up behind her and pressed his cock against her bottom and she could feel him working his way to her virgin hole. Before she could object, he plunged into her behind, causing her to cry out, but it did no good. He continued to plunge in and out of her tiny hole. As much as she wanted to resist, she could feel a climax coming on. Her body was betraying her feelings. For the first time that evening, she heard a noise come from his lips. "Cum little one," he growled. She could not resist any longer as she shuddered and cried out from the intense orgasm she had reached.
The sun was brighter than ever as Kris awoke, feeling unusually refreshed. She thought back to the night before and thought she must have been dreaming. She looked around the room and took notice that nothing had changed nor been disturbed. "Must have been a dream," she mumbled to herself as she got out of bed. "One hell of a dream," she added. She headed to the bathroom for a nice long hot shower. Her mind steadily roamed into the night before. It had seemed so real, so exciting. She could feel the water changing in temperature as she had lost track of time. Stepping out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around her and stepped back into the bedroom to get dressed. She had decided on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt to lounge around the house in for the morning. After brushing out her hair and pulling it back, she decided to go down to the kitchen to brew some coffee and read the morning paper. As she stepped into the kitchen, she noticed that coffee had already been brewed and a rose lay on the counter with a piece of paper underneath it. Kris's stomach did flips as she walked towards it. Kris reached down and picked up the note and read, "Be ready at eight tonight, night gown only, no panties. Signed, Master." A smile perched upon her face as she had realized her dream had not been a dream at all.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Broncos coach John Fox went out of his way Friday to tell reporters that the New York Jets had provided Denver's players and coaches with a top-shelf training facility in the week leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII.
While the Broncos were fully sold on Gang Green's Florham Park home, their AFC title game opponents reportedly balked at the notion of setting up camp on Jets soil.
Prior to losing to Denver, the Patriots were "squawking about the prospect" of working out at their rival's facility, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini. If New England had its way, the team would have worked out at nearby Rutgers.
The Jets weren't thrilled about catering to their AFC East foes, either. Cimini noted that Rex Ryan's bunch, along with the New York Giants, asked the league to flip conference designations, sending the NFC squad to Florham Park and the AFC entry to Big Blue's home in East Rutherford, N.J. The NFL denied that request.
Obviously, the flareup was for naught. The Patriots, today, are nestled on sofas throughout New England watching this game on TV. And the Jets -- after finding the Broncos to be "terrific guests" -- have avoided seven awkward days of facetime with Bill Belichick and Co.

Store History
- Founded by: 2010
Concealed by a lace canopy of trees on a busy street connecting tony Los Feliz with the quieter residential end of Silver Lake, Broome St. General Store is easy to pass by. Except for the noticeable foot traffic of finely (yet casually) attired Angelenos ant lining in and out of the dark blue bungalow, one wouldn't immediately expect the house-turned-store to be stocked to the rafters with a fine mix of LA x NYC wares for the home, appetite, and closet...
Name: Broome Street General Store
Launch date: 2010
Inspiration for opening: SoHo neighborhood mercantile and marketplace meets Los Angeles patio/courtyard coffee house.
Merchandise source: From Opinel mushroom knives, Pendelton wares, Duralex Picardie drinking glasses, a small rotating collection of haberdashery, handcrafted cookware/utensils, and small brand apothecary and beauty supplies.
Best selling item: Their Friday fried chicken plate.

Fresh orange juice will help consumers meet fruit intake targets: Researchers
Writing in a new study, the US-based researchers examined effect of consuming 100% orange juice on measures of nutrient adequacy, diet quality, and risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MetS).
The team report that moderate consumption of 100% orange juice should be encouraged to help individuals meet the daily recommendation for fruit intake, forming a component of a healthy diet.
Consumption of 100% orange juice was associated with better diet quality and an increased prevalence of meeting the estimated average requirements (EAR) for key nutrients and other biomarkers of positive health outcomes, including lower total cholesterol and LDL levels, the team found.
"100% OJ consumers had increased intake of nutrients typically found in 100% OJ (i.e. vitamin C, folate, and potassium," noted the research team, led by Professor Carol O'Neil from Louisiana State University. "Consumers were also less likely to have intakes below the EAR for vitamins A, B-6, and C; folate; and magnesium than non-consumers."
"The reduction in the percentage of the population with inadequate intakes of these nutrients associated with 100% OJ consumption indicates the value of consuming a nutrient dense beverage," they added, writing in Nutrition Journal.
O'Neil and her team added that those consuming 100% orange juice had a lower mean BMI and a decreased risk of obesity, while males had a decreased risk of metabolic syndrome.
"These results suggested that 100% OJ consumption should be encouraged as a component of a healthy diet to help individuals meet nutrient and fruit intake recommendations," said the team.
Fruit juice
The researchers noted that there have been concerns about the consumption of 100% fruit juices and links to overweight and obesity, especially children. However, they noted that most studies have been conducted in children and have not shown a relationship between such juices and weight.
The new study examined data from 8,861 adults taking part in the NHANES 2003-2006 study.
Approximately 24% of the population were found to have consumed 100% orange juice on either of the days when a 24 hour recall was taken.
Consumption of orange juice was associated with an increase in nutrient intakes including: vitamins A, B6, and C; folate; potassium and magnesium.
Higher intake of orange juice was also linked to a 21% lower risk of obesity in both men and women.
"To our knowledge this is the first report studying the association between the consumption of 100% orange juice and nutrient adequacy in adults using the recommended UI procedures," said O'Neil and her team.

Already a huge presence in Australia, Flume has been gaining a lot more attention in the US, especially with the recent release of his self-titled debut on Mom + Pop Music. I was lucky enough to catch his recent sold out performance at the Echoplex in Los Angeles.
Truth be told, I don't go to a lot of EDM shows, but after hearing his album I was hoping to see some of the guest vocalists that are heavily featured on his debut. WIth the likes of George Maple, Chet Faker, Moon Holiday, and Jezzabell Doran all appearing on his record, it would have been extra special to see some of them perform live. Unfortunately that didn't happen, BUT I did manage to dance my ass off with a crazy sold out crowd to his ear-shattering beats.
Songs like "Insane" featuring the before mentioned Moon Holiday had the crowd singing along and jumping wildly to every beat. He's currently in the midst of a US tour with shows coming up at Portland's Mississippi Studios on March 31st and a sold out show at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 2nd among others. In May he'll be back in Australia for his first headlining tour titled, The Infinity Prism Tour with Chet Faker supporting. Check out the video for Left Alone and definitely try to catch him live before he heads back down under.

Bandleader-promoter Mark Tortorici is an old-school showman. For the past seven years, the sharp-dressed, sweet-talking swinger has been presenting a wild variety of live music acts at Burbank nightclub Joe's Great American Bar and Grill and packing the joint every Monday and Tuesday, two of toughest nights for any working musician hoping to pull a crowd. But for Tortorici, known to his avid cult of jitter-bugging followers as Torch, it's simply standard operating procedure.
Whether headlining the room with his own nine-piece rhythm and blues group, the Hollywood Combo, or manning the turntables as DJ between sets by local Western swing favorites the Lucky Stars, Tortorici curates an always-exceptional weeknight experience.
With offbeat touring acts like Canadian hillbilly throwbacks Petunia & the Vipers (yes, Petunia is actually a man) or New Orleans Tin Pan Alley specialist Linnzi Zaorsky, Tortorici's knack for showcasing disparate musical genres reflects an unusual attitude, best summed up by his own self-description as "a live-music junkie."
"My philosophy is to book the bands and music that I really like," he said. "I think I have a good taste in music and if you do it with honesty and heart, people will respond to that. They'll support that."
That flexibility has allowed Tortorici to carve out several successful careers. His popularity at Joe's has expanded to four consecutive nights there, from a Sunday blues party through the recently inaugurated Rockabilly-Roots Wednesdays. As a bandleader, he makes two international tours a year, storming through Spain, Italy, Germany, Hungary — even Russia. He runs his own music label, Swingin' Records, and also works closely with venerable R&B legend Big Jay McNeely, a volcanic tenor saxophonist who has been an important figure in Los Angeles music since 1949.
That alliance has resulted in some spectacular music. When McNeely turned 80 in 2007, Tortorici's Hollywood Combo accompanied him on what turned out to be one of the wildest performances the sax man had made in decades. Neither the band nor the dancers could keep up with McNeely that night. And that's what keeps them coming back — the prospect of hearing what Tortorici calls "something genuine."
"The music always comes first. I try to stay away from the 'swing night' moniker, but dancing should be a byproduct of good music," Tortorici said. "I wanted to have something where dancing was a part of it, but it was also a real bar, where you could get a drink and have a little debauchery going on. And dancing adds a certain energy, so instead of trying to push it away, I embrace that and try to strike a balance.
"To me, it's about having a good symbiosis. And it can be really kind of euphoric. You bring a band in because you like them, and all of a sudden there's 200 people in the place."
The room has real atmosphere, Tortorici goes on: "I like Joe's honky-tonk feel, I love the sound of music as it's filtered through an audience, people talking, laughing, glasses clinking. That's a sound you can only hear when you're part if it. It's a really positive environment. Musicians come and hang out, dancers, drinkers, bikers, TV producers, writers, people from every walk of life. To me, that's beautiful."
JONNY WHITESIDE is a veteran music journalist based in Burbank and author of "Ramblin' Rose: the Life & Career of Rose Maddox" and "Cry: the Johnnie Ray Story."
What: Bandleader Mark Tortorici, hosting various acts.
When: Sundays (blues), Mondays (Ronnie Mack's Barn Dance or swing dancing and hot jazz), Tuesdays (swing, jazz) and Wednesdays (roots and rockabilly). Check online listings for details.
Where: Joe's Great American Bar and Grill, 4311 W. Magnolia Blvd., Burbank.

Politics before people?
To the Editor:
The Nassau County Legislature's Democratic leader Kevan Abrahams claims his caucus is "committed to funding every cent necessary to rebuild" the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, which was flooded by a nine-foot storm surge during Hurricane Sandy ("Let's rebuild the sewage plant the right way," Aug. 15-21).
Well, Mr. Abrahams, it is long past time to put your money where your mouth is!
As the Democratic minority repeatedly votes against repairing the Bay Park plant, Abrahams justifies stalling urgent repairs by insisting his caucus just "want[s] to see the projects done right, on time, and at or under budget."
What gall. During the decade that they were in charge, the Democrats allowed the Bay Park plant to fall into an appalling state of disrepair. We all remember the foul odors and discharges into the surrounding waterways that resulted from the Democrats' failure to fund needed repairs for the plant.
Why wasn't Abrahams concerned about budgets or "projects done right" back then? His opposition to County Executive Ed Mangano's proposal to rebuild the plant, and baseless fears of too little oversight and too much debt, are just a smoke screen to hide raw political motivations in an election year. All the Democratic caucus supports is obstruction. Despite their best efforts to cloak their actions in high-minded rhetoric about oversight and debt, the Democrats are doing nothing more than putting politics before people. And the residents of our community are suffering as a result.
The smells emanating from the plant are horrendous. Friends living close to the plant continually tell me that the odors are so bad that they can't use their backyards or keep their windows open on many nights.
From my home, about a mile away from the plant, I can detect the pugent odor on evenings when the wind is blowing in the right direction.
Of course, Mr. Abrahams' constituents in Hempstead, Uniondale and Roosevelt never get to savor the smells that are often a daily occurrence in our community. If they did, I am sure that the Democratic caucus would stop its foot-dragging and vote for immediate funding for the total repair and renovation of the Bay Park plant.

I'm saddened to see the vacuous reviews written by people whose sense of literature is the movie theater. If you have not read Grossman's "On Killing", Grisham's "A Time to Kill" or Gladwell's "Outliers" (specifically the chapter A Culture of Honor), then you might not appreciate how authentic this movie is. This is likely a film that is better left for the well-read or the critics. But that doesn't mean that a curious film aficionado with an open mind and a tolerance for how down a human can get might not appreciate the film. A decade from now people will likely also appreciate just how bad the times were that led to the film's backdrop. It will all make sense once the viewer appreciates all that the film has to offer. Be prepared to discuss the nuances of justice with your teenage kids if they see this film. And understand that the ending is suggested rather than explicitly stated.
It's also worth noting that this film has quite the cast.

North Carolina Hybrid Graduate Business Degree
Hybrid Business Graduate Programs combine the flexibility of online courses with the personal interaction of campus and classroom learning to help students develop a thorough understanding of business concepts and methods. Sometimes called 'blended' or 'low residency', these business programs are often designed for current professionals and on-the-go adults who hope to advance, retool or change careers.
With concentrations such as accounting, business administration, finance and more, students may be able to focus their studies to build the practical skills and knowledge they seek.

Why Consider a Hybrid Business Degree Program?
Unlike purely online programs, hybrid business graduate programs may provide the opportunity to expand networks and learn directly from faculty. When on campus, students might get to know their professors and peers to foster personal, mentoring relationships. While online, students tap into the convenience of virtual classes that are accessible from anywhere. This approach might allow students to earn their business degree in a program that suits their schedules. Moreover, students may benefit from any collaborative exercises, orientation or in-person feedback that may be harder to grasp through online study alone. For instance, students may get to work on cross-functional teams to complete
projects and analyze real-life business cases.
On Location Without Relocation
Graduate business degrees are often intensive with plenty of time spent in research and study. At the same time, if you do already work full-time, you may not be able to just pick up and relocate. While there is no 'one' hybrid format, you do not necessarily have to live close to the business school you choose to take part in the residencies. On the other hand, you may be able to find a flexible MBA that is near to work, part-time and based in the evenings. Keep your needs and preferences in mind as you conduct your search.
Experiential Learning
One of the hallmarks of hybrid business graduate programs is 'experiential learning'. What this means can vary by business school, but is generally fostered through things such as in class exercises, presentations, and team consulting projects. Essentially, it takes concepts such as leadership out of the e-book and textbook into real-time practice - or, experience. As a side benefit, students may take away the ability to problem solve, think critically and effectively communicate.
Types of Hybrid Business Graduate Programs
Hybrid Business Graduate Programs may be available at all levels – Certificate, Masters, MBA, PhD and Professional Doctorate. Core courses typically aim to introduce advanced-level topics in areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources and operations management. Many programs then offer a wide variety of elective courses, where students can tailor their degree to mirror personal and professional research and practice interests.
It is important to note that each hybrid business graduate program has its own admission requirements. Within this framework, applicants to masters programs generally need a bachelors degree and may have to meet a minimum GPA. Similarly, a masters or MBA might be needed to apply into some doctoral business programs. Other material such as resume, work experience, GRE and GMAT scores, personal essay and references may also be required.
According to O*NET, when asked about their education, 26% of CEOs responded they had a graduate degree.
Hybrid Masters in Business Programs
Some of the common Masters in Business degrees that may be available in the hybrid format are the Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS) and the Master of Business Administration (MBA). Traditionally, the MS is delivered with a science or technical focus while the MA has a humanities and liberal arts focus. Within that context, both the MS and MA tend to tackle one topic in depth. By contrast, the MBA covers a set of core courses to provide an overview of functional business topics. From there, students often choose a concentration area to refine their knowledge base.
Hybrid PhD in Business Programs
At the doctoral level, two of the common degrees that might be available in the blended online format are the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). While both are terminal degrees in their respective business discipline, the PhD is a research degree with a slant towards academia. By comparison, the DBA is a professional degree where the focus is on applied research and practice. It is typically targeted at those with extensive managerial skills who want to enhance their abilities and expertise.
Hybrid Graduate Certificate in Business Programs
Hybrid Graduate Certificates in Business may be awarded in many s of study. Some certificates are designed for students with a bachelors degree who may want to add onto current skills, prepare for a masters program or learn new skills to foster a career switch. Other certificates are designed to help students with a masters degree refine their expertise, or even, stay up-to-date with recent trends and technology.
EducationDynamics maintains business relationships with the schools it features.
Shorter term than full business graduate degrees, certificates may entail about five courses. As a result, they may be introductory in nature, or focus on a single topic. A general or introductory program might be a great idea for non-business students who want an overview of graduate level business concepts. Single focus certificates, such as an Advanced Accounting Certificate, may help students explore new business areas or fulfill course requirements for their state CPA exam.
Explore Hybrid Graduate Programs for Business Majors
While for some, business will mean operations and managerial styles, business is a broad field with many sub-domains. Accounting, criminal justice, finance, organizational leadership and of course, business administration, are several examples of other business majors. To find the hybrid business degree that aligns with your goals, look more deeply into each subject. Then, compare the types of degrees offered to see which one fits your purposes. Below are a few highlighted examples of hybrid business graduate programs to get you started.
Hybrid accounting graduate programs may enable students and CPAs to fulfill state requirements for various certifications, such as the Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) credential. Some programs may allow students to choose an area of emphasis such as Forensic Accounting or International Accounting. Others may appeal to students who want to prepare for their CPA exam. With the flexibility of online courses, professional students may be able to complete their extra 150 hours of study with minimal disruption to current work demands.
Business Administration
Hybrid MBA programs tend to expose students to key aspects of business education. Coursework might include topics such as Accounting, International Business, Ethics, Marketing, Finance, Organizational Behavior, Quantitative Analysis, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Strategy. These concepts may be bolstered through things like threaded discussions online, then applied in class through teamwork and leadership exercises.
Organizational Systems
Hybrid PhD in Organizational Systems programs may help students who have their masters degree develop refined managerial and leadership skills. A mix of online courses in systems design and transformation and residential conferences, students may benefit from hands-on advising and support for their own research.
GradSchools.com offers 1 Business Hybrid Degree Programs
Hybrid business graduate programs may be available through regionally accredited universities. This stamp of approval can speak to the quality of a university's faculty, curriculum, student services and financial stability. Beyond that, some individual business programs may be approved by professional accreditors in their respective area. The Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation is just one example.
