Physicist with a felony?
I know several students with/getting PhDs who began in community college. Community college is cheaper, and will allow the OP to explore academics in a low-risk environment with a great deal of schedule flexibility. This will also allow the OP to begin "learning the system", and s/he may evolve his goals-plans as he progresses. I agree with what bcrowell has said here.

Well I've come up with this plan: I'll stay with the HVAC while I save up for an expungement. I figure this would give me a good amount of time to study during my free-time, as well as give me a solid understand of the HVAC business, enough to fall back on should things not go so well. Then I'll take your advice and start off with community college, talking with advisors and try to plan on transferring to a four-year college. How's that sound? Another question I have is if I do get my record expunged, how would that look to a college? Is it possible for them to see it on my record and hinder my chances regardless?
Also, all of the computers were returned. |

What a glaring difference between that end result and one where the computers were subsequently sold with a sober mind and the proceeds spent on yourself. |

A Community College won't care about your criminal history. Get enrolled if you have the time and start working on what you can (basic math, general courses etc). Skip your personal life and save up for the expungement if it's even possible. I know in some states Juvenile records are sealed automatically when you turn 23 or something, I forget the exact age, but you might try to look up how it works in your state.
It's possible to get into a 4 year school with a felony, but you can expect to jump through hoops over it, and show them all the paperwork, do an interview etc. But it certainly won't happen unless you get to work and show them that you are serious about it. This might include getting a 2yr degree et al. I'm not sure if the nature of your crime will come into play. A friend of mine got accepted after his 2yr degree at a CC with a felony DUI. I think that felony theft, from a school of all places, might warrant a bit more consideration on the schools part. |

The reason the answers vary so much is because university policies vary so much.
Around half don't ask about criminal records*. They don't have to ask, and some feel that if they do ask and know about your criminal history, then they could be considered partially liable if you do something horribly wrong while attending. Some feel that once you've paid your debt to society, then they have no legitimate reason to reject you on those grounds. In fact, they worry they could be opening themselves up to a lawsuit from the rejected student for violation of civil rights. Around half do ask. Some of those reject all students with a criminal record (but not many). Some want more information about the felony conviction and decide them on a case by case basis. Many of the universities that do ask have no written or standard procedure for how to handle a "yes" answer about felony convictions and their admissions staff have no specific training on how to handle it. Of those that do ask and actually use the answer as part of their admissions process, over 50% of sex offenders are rejected (kind of vague), over 50% of drug offenders are rejected. Around a third of people convicted of misdemeanors are rejected. Sometimes a person with a misdemeanor could be rejected while a person with a felony could be admitted (as mentioned, many universities have no standard procedures even though they ask about criminal records). Some universities require your permission to do a criminal background check on you whether you answer yes or no. In other words, there is no way of getting a reliable answer other than at least looking at the admissions application and asking the school about it if the application does ask about it (and even then, you could be getting just the opinion of the person you're talking to because the school has no official policy). You are going to have a problem getting into "prestige" universities that depend on the reputation of their graduates to maintain their own reputation as a "prestige" university. Dropping out of high school and getting your GED would pretty much torpedo your chances at those universities anyway. * - Definitely not very accurate. I could reference a few surveys, but none of these seem to be done with much rigor, and none of them seem like a very reliable source if you want actual percentages. They're better than anecdotal evidence, but not much better. You can look for these yourself - maybe you could find one that actually does seem to have been conducted in way that seems more thorough and reliable than the others. But they are good enough to illustrate that all universities don't handle criminal records the same way. |
Dec20-12, 04:02 PM | #25 |
As others have said, your best bet is probably to try to avoid being asked about it. Not every school or employer asks. And if you can get your record expunged, it will be worth every penny. |

Whether or not you consider yourself to be a techie, it's hard to miss the major release of a new "it" product. You've no doubt heard, then, about this week's hot ticket item: the all new Kindle Fire. In fact, you probably already own one. With a full color, seven-inch touchscreen display and faster processing power than ever before, this savvy E-Reader is at the top of everyone's wish list. It even comes with built in WiFi, but there is one feature you may still find yourself wanting: 3G internet.
Though equipped with convenient WiFi capability, there is no specific Kindle Fire 3G network available at this time, leaving it up to you, the excited owner of a brand new Kindle Fire, to figure out how to connect to a nationwide 3G wireless network. But don't worry; you don't have to let go of your dream of lightning-fast internet just because you bought a Kindle Fire that only has WiFi. In fact, you can still have a Kindle Fire 3G connection wherever you go, with TruConnect's wireless broadband services.
It works like this: you have a Kindle Fire and you want 3G internet speeds, so you purchase a MiFi wireless device from TruConnect which allows you to set up an instant mobile hotspot for up to five wireless devices. Now get out your new Kindle Fire and start surfing. It's that simple. Installation is a snap, and the device itself is smaller than a deck of cards and highly portable. Now you're connected to one of the fastest growing, most reliable networks in the country: Sprint's Nationwide Broadband Wireless 3G network. And the best part is, it goes wherever you go.
Why limit yourself to perusing the web in just one place? Our MiFi enables you to take your Kindle Fire 3G network with you anywhere you go. Imagine you're on a bus headed to the office, reading the news on your new Kindle Fire, when you suddenly remember you need to read an email before your morning meeting. Unless you already have broadband wireless 3G for your laptop or other device, it's going to be difficult to connect to a network in a moving vehicle. You'll arrive at work, the only one who hasn't read the memo. But wait! You have the ultra-convenient MiFi stashed in your pocket, and all you have to do is turn it on to be instantly connected to the Sprint network. And if your colleague is sitting next to you, you can even share your connection (if you're feeling generous).
Think of places you want wireless 3G internet but there are usually no networks to be found: the park, for example. Maybe you're picnicking with the family and the kids have brought their gaming devices, tablet computers and mp3 players with them for a little afternoon entertainment. Maybe you also brought your new Kindle Fire! Fortunately, you've also got your MiFi and can connect up to five devices to the internet, so there's no arguing over the connection or worrying about having to share. Everyone can have their music, movies and games right at their fingertips. With MiFi, you have the peace of mind that your Kindle Fire 3G connection will be ready for action; wherever, whenever. And with a revolutionary new way to pay, internet just got a whole lot cheaper.
With TruConnect's pay-as-you-go plan, you pay only for data that you actually use. Sure, you could get a traditional flat-rate plan to get your Kindle Fire 3G connection. But then you'd also be getting a lengthy contract, a confusing service bundle, hidden activation fees, cancelation penalties and a commitment of at least a year or two. A contract means you can't change companies, even when other providers are unveiling better deals on internet service. And a monthly flat rate means you're paying for data you aren't using; if you are using all the data you're paying for, you're probably going over the monthly data cap set by your provider, and being steeply penalized for it as well.
With TruConnect's MiFi, you pay only for the data you use, with no contract, no service bundle, no hidden fees and no penalties. It's just simple, honest internet. Starting at $4.99 a month and 3.9 cents per megabyte of data used, our plan actually bends to accommodate your needs instead of the other way around. You don't want to have to worry that you read too many magazines or checked too many emails and went over your data cap this month; you just got a new Kindle Fire and should be able to use it to your heart's content! Our service plan ensures that you get the most effective, budget-friendly Kindle Fire 3G connection that money can buy. In fact, the average internet user can save up to $600 annually, not including the fact that the device itself is much more affordable than other mobile hotspot devices.
So what are you waiting for? You've got the new Kindle Fire, now get connected! There simply is no better way to connect to a 3G broadband network: contract free, commitment free, pay as you go. If you don't like our MiFi, just return it within 90 days, no questions asked. TruConnect offers you a risk-free opportunity to get the wireless Kindle Fire 3G connection you need on a network you can trust. With the amount you'll save by paying only for data you use, you'll be able to find a secluded spot in the tropics to catch up on your Kindle reading; and don't forget to pack your MiFi!

Amazon launched new versions of its Kindle e-reader in late 2011. It launched its first tablet – the Kindle Fire – to take onApple's iPad, Barnes & Noble's Nook and other Google Android tablets in the market. It also launched an upgraded version of the original Kindle as well as the new Kindle Touch, a touch-based variant of the Kindle. Amazon competes with traditional book publishers, Apple's iBooks, and Google Books.
The company initially launched the new Kindles only in a few markets, including the U.S., but has now has started rolling out its Kindle devices globally. This week, it announced that it will be launching the Kindle Touch 3G in more than 175 countries. The new device is now available for pre-order and will start shipping from April 27. The Kindle Touch 3G will support additional languages, offer free 3G connectivity to download books anywhere, offer Wi-Fi support and several other features to improve the user's book reading experience.
Though the Kindle Fire hardware business is a low-margin business for Amazon, accounting for less than 3% of its overall value, we expect increased Kindle sales to drive Amazon's core business – selling e-books and other multimedia content online, which accounts for nearly 23% of its total value. We have a $205 Trefis price estimate for Amazon, which stands 2% above its market price.

Mexico's cliff dwelling Tarahumara Indians : Tarahumara Religion : Traditional Tarahumara Pottery
History of Mexico's Tarahumara (Raramuri) Indians
In their native tongue, the Tarahumara' word for themselves is "Raramuri" which means runners on foot. They are an ancient indigenous people of Mexico renowned for their long-distance running ability.
While hunting, Tarahumara have been known to run non-stop for days and as far as 100 miles to catch animals such as deer. The animals eventually tire and fall over from exhaustion.
Native history tells of the Tarahumara originally inhabiting much of the state of Chihuahua in Northern Mexico. They retreated to the Copper Canyon in the Sierra Madre Occidental upon the arrival of Spanish explorers in the sixteenth century. By retreating into areas so remote, the Spanish were unable to conquer them or subject them to Spanish rule.
Today, the Tarahumara still live in the most remote areas of the Copper Canyon, inhabiting natural shelters such as caves or cliff overhangs. They observe strict traditional ceremonial practices and keep to themselves, rarely intermarrying or even intermixing with the general population. Although recently Jesuit missionaries have been able to reach them and some of their religious ceremonies now mix traditional Tarahumara beliefs with Catholic doctrine.
Tarahumara Traditional Religion (with sprinkles of Catholicism)
The Tarahumara traditional religion is characterized by a belief that the afterlife is a mirror image of the mortal world, and that good deeds should be performed not for spiritual reward, but for the improvement of life on earth. The soul ascends a series of heavens, is reincarnated after each death, and after three lives becomes a moth on Earth. The moth represents the final existence of the soul. When the moth dies, the soul dies completely. However, this end is not regarded as negative or a punishment, but merely as a continuation of the order of life.
For the Tarahumara, God has a wife who dwells with him in heaven, along with their sons, and their daughters. The Devil and God are brothers (the Devil is the elder). Both jointly created the human race. God, using pure clay, created the Tarahumara, whereas the Devil, mixing white ash with his clay, created the Chabochi (non-Tarahumara). To the Tarahumara, the Devil is as much a protector and life-giver to the Chabochis as God is to the Tarahumara. The Devil's world is not necessarily evil, but is tainted through its ties with the 'Chabochi'.
An amazing characteristic of the Tarahumara is their apparent inability to tell a lie. It seems ancient religion has bred into the Tarahumara a moral code so strict that they seem incapable of it. Some psychologists have suggested that over the centuries this value system has actually caused physiological changes in their brain that preclude speaking anything but the truth.
Ceremonial Pottery
The Tarahumara are known for the brewing of tesguino, a corn-based beer brewed in ceramic pottery jars that feature prominently in many religious rituals. Their pottery typically does not include paints but instead rely on accessories like rawhide to decorate the vessels. At ceremonies, tesguino is considered a required drink for both men and women. A specific protocol for serving it is always followed. Tesguino is also used to signal changes in self evaluation, for example a young girl will begin publicly drinking tesguino at religious ceremonies when she concludes that she is ready to look for a husband.
Ceremonial pottery is also used to store the sacred peyote. The peyote plant is believed to have four faces and sees everything; it is very powerful. Peyote spirits are said to be mischievous and capricious. A Tarahumara will address a peyote plant directly and ask its permission and willingness to accompany him before the plant is picked.
Our collection includes Tarahumara pottery, Tarahumara masks, Tarahumara art and other items that offer a glimpse of this ancient civilization.

The Game is Free. The Experience is Priceless.
Nobody knows military simulations like the world's premier land force, the United States Army. So, when the Army began making the America's Army game to provide civilians with insights on Soldiering from the barracks to the battlefields, it sent its talented development team to experience Army training just as a new recruit would. The developers crawled through obstacle courses, fired weapons, observed paratrooper instruction, and participated in a variety of training exercises with elite combat units, all so that you could virtually experience Soldiering in the most realistic way possible.
America's Army, the official game of the U.S. Army, delivers an authentic and entertaining Army experience by reflecting the training, technology, skills, and career advancement of a United States Army Soldier. Rated T for Teen, the game features authentic weapons and technologies, realistic training and exciting gameplay missions.

And why do you think that I didn't earned jump patch?
Maybe not this, but...:P
oh, really i'am sorry
I shouldn't post this photo, becouse there is no airsoft there
not trying to side on anyone here, but military people here in the United States active or retired are serious about those insignias. All of them earned them thru hard work and personal sacrifices (damn some of them even saw a buddy die or even came close to death while earning those insignias and patches)
They have given a lot for freedom and for them to wear those patche is a PROUD moment and HONOR for them.
This is the reason why other people question others about their patches, it is not being rude or anything, it is just a sign of courtesy to those who have served. (It is even a felony here in the US to be caught wearing fake medals during official [military] ceremonies)If you served and earned them, by all means wear them as proud as you want, but if you are a poser - you are looked down upon like a scumbag....
But if you have earned those stripes or patch then congratulations i take my hat off for you.

Andover School District Reviews Annual Audit; Continues Discussion About Florence M. Burd School Traffic Issues
Wednesday, October 3, 2012 • 10:52pm
ANDOVER TOWNSHIP, NJ - This week's board meeting for the Andover Regional Board of Education on Tuesday, October 2, involved two presentations. The meeting was shortened due to board member absences, however the board decided to hear these presentations.
Accountant Raymond Sarinelli of Nisivoccia, LLP gave the presentation of the annual audit for school year 2011-2012.
One major finding was the general fund balance improving by $100,000. He pointed out a reimbursement for the roofing project that contributed most of this improvement. Unfortunately, without this reimbursement the fund was actually down $50,000.
Sarinelli explained that the revenue for the last year was very predictable, and the budget was completely expended. This means that the school has no excess funds to roll-over to the next school year, where many other schools would be able to use the excess for improvements during the next year.
"It will not be easy to reach your budgetary goals without your Fund Balance, and you should continue to look at efficiencies," Sarinelli said.
Another part of the audit was to ensure that all terms had been met for all the grants received. Sarinelli stated that all compliance terms were met.
Some debts were refunded this year, one positive aspect of the audit. Other bonds were changed to have lower interest rates, which will save the board more money in the future.
Interim Superintendent Peter Merluzzi said, "As someone who has not been with this school for a long time, I can tell you that you are getting dangerously close. The district needs to take measures to build the reserve in case there's an emergency."
Sarinelli was invited back to a future meeting when more board members are present to ask questions. This audit is also available online for the public to review; click here to view.
Chief Gil Taglialatela gave the next presentation regarding the proposed roadway behind the Florence M. Burd School. He began by assuring the board he never intended to make them feel as if they had no choice in this process. He asked that the board make no formal move on anything, either dismissing the road behind the school, or accepting it.
Taglialatela brought two letters dating back to1998, that discussed this same problem.
"This is how far back we've been looking at this problem, and it's only quadrupled since then," he said.
He invited three representatives from the neighborhood behind Florence M. Burd School to discuss new options to solve this problem. Putting two traffic lights in front of the school is definitely not an option, he said, but other options are available.
The main problem is not with the school buses, but with the parents who drive their children to school and make a left turn out of their separate exit, Taglialatela said. The board clarified that there is a sign posted stating no left turn out of that exit, and the chief said that the sign is obviously being ignored.
Another issue that was discussed was the option for buses to make a right turn out of their exit, and looping around to Lake Iliff Road. Some parents believed that the weight limit on the Lake Iliff Bridge was the issue with that road, but Taglialatela said the true problem would be the volume of buses on such a narrow, turning road.
"My biggest concern is with what would happen when an officer is unable to be at his post because of our limited staffing?" Taglialatela asked. "The next step for me is to determine the full cost of having a special officer at that post during that time, and maybe the town could split the cost with the school board."

Tourists staying at a Los Angeles hotel bathed, brushed their teeth and drank water from a tank in which a dead body had been decomposing in.
After several guests at The Cecil Hotel complained of a bad taste in their water, the hotel's maintenance man was sent to check the four rooftop tanks that feed the building's main water supply.
That's when he discovered the body of 21-year-old Elisa Lam at the bottom of a tank.
Lam is a tourist from Vancouver, Canada who checked in to the hotel on January 26th.
In a hotel surveillance video, cameras catch Lam acting unusual in an elevator, looking around the corner as if she was hiding from someone.
Lam disappeared on January 31st.
Detectives are now investigating her mysterious death.
The hotel has not responded for comment.

First thread... I heard through a few associates that this is the place to be for aspiring seo's.
My question to you, the super-pro's is:
How big of a role, in your experience, have you found keywords to play in SERP's?
For example, I'm trying to rank for "San Diego SEO"
My website is www.san-diego-seo.org
A secondary question, how big of a detriment are the dashes in my url to SERP's?

The American banking industry enjoyed profits of $35.3 billion in the first quarter of 2012, the industry's best performance since 2007, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. But it did so largely because banks put aside less money to cover bad loans, while keeping a lid on new lending.

Preaching Door-to-Door Why live any longer with the uncertainty of whether you will be acceptable to God when you die? Discover how to have the assurance of Eternal Life! (www.4witness.org) |
View PDF/ Spanish
.:MY JEHOVAH'S WITNESS GIRLFRIEND STOPPED DATING ME BECAUSE I AM NOT A BAPTIZED JEHOVAH'S WITNESS. WHAT CAN I DO? OUR RESPONSE: Dear friend, We feel for where you are in this. Indeed, you are suffering from a broken heart. We agree with you that a person who is truly in love with another person should be able to put their relationship with that person before any commitment to a human organization (such as the Watchtower Society). The Bible is clear that God did not institute a religious organization to save mankind, but rather an individual – Jesus Christ— Who paid the price for sin so that those who place their faith and trust in Him alone can be forgiven and have eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 John 5:11-13; Romans 10:9). No religious organization can intercede between you and Jehovah God, because the Bible declares that the Lord Jesus Christ is to be the ONLY mediator between mankind and God (1 Timothy 2:5). We also agree with you that if your beliefs are in agreement with the Bible and you have put your trust in the Jesus of Bible (not the counterfeit Jesus of the Watchtower) to save you, this is what is important for any marriage relationship to have a solid foundation. Just as the Bible says at 1 Corinthians 3:11: "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." Unfortunately, what you are telling us about how your Jehovah's Witness girlfriend is putting her religion and the feelings of her parents over your relationship is serious. Indeed, she does not understand that according to the Bible, if your beliefs are in agreement and grounded in the Bible, this is all that should matter—whether or not you are committed by baptism to a religious organization (such as the Jehovah's Witnesses). But what you are seeing with her is just the beginning of a deep-rooted aspect of the Jehovah's Witness religion that would affect any long-term relationship with her if she remains a committed Jehovah's Witness. So, before you pursue your romantic feelings for her further, you need to understand these facts about the Jehovah's Witness religion:
As you can see, if your girlfriend wishes to remain loyal to her Jehovah's Witness faith, you both would have to make serious compromises in your religious convictions before a committed marriage relationship would be possible. Our hope and prayer is that you would study the Bible and reevaluate her Jehovah's Witness religion with a goal of winning her heart to make a commitment to the true Jesus of the Bible, before you go any further in studying with Jehovah's Witnesses and pursuing a romantic relationship with your Jehovah's Witness girlfriend. FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE: |
They are all there for me!
"I had Jehovah's Witnesses visiting for six years. … The sad thing is now I have their beliefs in my head. So I put myself into God's hands and asked for direction. …Well, the feeling of freedom is amazing. I am like a child, learning again for the first time. The reason I had to write to you was the Karen and Cindy conversations. Instead of me asking for help, one question at a time, they are all there for me!! It seems as if 'Karen' could read my mind.
It's so lovely for things to fall into place, mainly that 'What happens when we die?' This was a very big issue for me. I was scared while I did not understand even the tiny bit I do now. It's such a joy. Instead of feeling unworthy(were all sinners I know) and feeling I would never be saved or go to Heaven. So, please thank God and Jesus with me for such help."I have to tell you how your website saved my life.
"I have been a baptized Witness since 1995, and I have to tell you how you have saved my life. Every couple of years I get this gnawing sense that this is not quite right, that I am not 100% vested in what the Watchtower Society says. …Lately, I have stopped attending meetings and my daughter, 13, has begged me not to make her go back. So I have been praying and chatting with friends outside the organization…
…I can't tell you my sense of relief when I stumbled upon your site and started to read the articles. I want to cry, but I'm at work. I can't wait to get home because I am so excited I can barely stand it! Please, please, how can I meet others who feel this way? I sure could use the fellowship. Again, thanks for the work you do."God bless you for the difference you are making.
"My brother and I were raised by a Jehovah's Witness mother. I am 52 years old now and still haven't been able to shake the stigma of the experience. My brother wasn't as lucky as me and ended up taking his own life at 17. I have been through everything ... I can't express how much I appreciate what you are doing... God bless for the difference you are making."
I do not feel so alone!
"Thank you for creating this website. After reading stories of former Jehovah's Witnesses, I do not feel so alone. My resolve to stay out of that religion has also strengthened. I have also come to realize that my depression, anxiety, and many other emotional scars inflicted by the organization and those in the 'truth' will take time to heal. But your website has also come to help me ... Thank you."
Just as I was about to enter the Jehovah's Witnesses again, God led me to your website.
"Hi…I am an Ex-Jehovah's Witness from South Africa. ...I left the Jehovah's Witnesses not because I did not agree with their beliefs, but because my wife could not handle it with me being a Jehovah's Witness and she not. I became an anti-religious person. Then, just as I was about to enter the Jehovah's Witnesses again, God led me to your website… Today, I prayed to Jesus for salvation after I read your article on your website…"
I'm so glad that I have run across this site.
"After reading the article that David Reed wrote on your site, I've looked at things in 'a new light' so-to-speak. ...I'm so glad that I have run across this site. I'm sure that it was the Holy Spirit that directed me to all of you!"
Your website is a great source for truth
"Your website is a great source for those seriously seeking the truth.… The Jehovah's Witness elders shun me. I've known these guys for 30 years... Well, when I walk into the Hall they turn their backs to me. I have not seen my Jehovah's Witness ex-wife, or daughter for two years. ...They hide my family from me. When I go to their homes, they smile with arms folded and say nothing.
The stories I read at your website were loud and clear - conditional love by the 'brothers'! I have learned more in the Christian Church about unconditional love than 30 years as a Witness. When I accepted Christ, who He really is, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to see both sides clearly. ...Without the Holy Spirit it is impossible to know the real TRUTH! Keep up your good work."

Sir Ron, who lives in the land of the circumcised penis, (USA), loves and appreciates each guy posted here.
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!
I know, I don't understand why? It is natural, if we are born with foreskin is because it has to be there, unless of course when medical cases, I think it's horrible what somente millions of children to do that. For me personally I love cocks with foreskin, and of course I like CUT cocks, but I prefer the foreskin, and you can play with the foreskin and it is very exciting. In Mexico, only 20% of the population is CUT, like most of the world population is a minimum percent.
I've always wanted to play with an uncircumcised penis but the opportunity hasn't presented it's self yet. Where are the uncut East Texas guy??
being uncut myself, I wouldn't have it any other way lol
I feel that we needed to be reminded of this hottie!
How beautiful is he and that uncut cock is amazing!
yup...and this one too!
Also cut not by choice when I was born mnay years ago. There were few uncut lads in locker room in junior or senior high school. Those who were often made fun having foreskin coveing cock heads. Little did I know or others this ws sign of a COMPLETE cock as nature has intened a cock to be. I adore seeing uncut cocks at the baths.
OK...last time I just quoted a message that already had pictures attached to it, so I'm not entirely sure I'll get this one correct, so bear with me if it doesn't work.
I kinda almost wish I was circumcised. Any time I've been with a guy he's been fascinated and studied it like it was a PBS show. I'm kinda insecure about it and only used to change alone in high school.
It's really unfortunate that you feel that way.
I can't speak for everyone, but I can certainly hope that this thread will serve to convince you (and maybe others) that having a foreskin shouldn't be something to be embarassed about; many may argue that it also isn't something that requires celebration. I think it's unfortunate, nonetheless, that so many people feel ashamed about their bodies. I think, as many other people who follow this thread do, that an uncut penis truly is beautiful! I had moments of shame myself, and even went so far as to consider circumcision at one point, but it was threads like this one and chatting with many cut and uncut guys online that convinced me that my body was (and still is, thankfully!) as nature created it and intended it to be. There are many many sites out there that will expound the benefits of being uncircumcised, but I won't go into those as, I believe, the creator of this thread didn't create it for that purpose. I think it's a wonderful space where foreskin/uncut admirers can come to appreciate beautiful men (and their penises) in their natural state.
I am a relatively recent member to this thread, but I am very happy that I came across this board, and hope that you boys (and possibly girls!) will continue to contribute, as I plan to.
Cheers everyone!
Yes, for the most part, white American boys are circumcised. Lots of blacks, too. It's usually the Hispanic and Asians who don't, but I've met a couple Latinos who were.
Check out American porn sites like Sean Cody or Fratmen/Fratpad or Straight College Men or Active Duty -- the majority of models are cut.

Still a virgin, hopefully not for long, but I love foreskin, wish I still had mine.
Four in bed, that's a kick I haven't tried yet.
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
The beauty of foreskin.
Being uncut myself I would never ever trade my forskin for a cut cock. I love the way my forskin feels and looks way to much!

Maintenance suggestions for horizontal tilt bowl mixers
Before performing scheduled or routine maintenance on mixers, always ensure that the proper safety guidelines and procedures are followed. Only qualified personnel should service or operate the mixer. Always follow manufacturers' guidelines when servicing a mixer. A recommended preventive maintenance schedule can be broken down into three segments: weekly, monthly and semi-annually.
Weekly maintenance checklist
Mixer lubrication system:
It is very important to check that the mixer is lubricated per manufacturer's instructions. Items that should be checked are:
• Ensure that proper grease is used.
• Inspect all grease lines for leaks or breakages.
• Ensure that auto-lube reservoirs are at proper levels.
• Ensure that all required grease points are lubricated.
Mixer agitator belt drive (optional)
• Check drive belts for wear.
• Check drive and agitator pulleys for wear.
• Check idler pulley for wear.
• Check drive belt for proper tension.
Bowl tilt system
• Make sure bowl tilts smoothly.
• Check bowl limit switches for proper settings.
• Check hydraulic system for leaks.
• Inspect tilt cylinders for wear.
• Inspect tilt cylinder clevis pins for wear.
• Check filter gauge in hydraulic unit to ensure that the filter is not clogged.
• Check level of hydraulic oil and ensure that hydraulic oil is clean.
• Inspect tilt hoses for wear or leaks.
Bowl seals and canopy scrapers
• Check front and rear bowl seals for cuts.
• Check canopy scraper for damage.
Mixer agitator chain drive
• Check chain to ensure proper lubrication.
• Check chain for wear.
• Check sprockets for wear.
• Check chain tension.
Drive motor
• Check drive motor for vibration.
• Ensure that drive motor cooling fins are free of any dust, dirt and dough. Dirty cooling fins can insulate the motors and cause them to overheat, which greatly reduces their lifespans.
Gear reducer
• Check gear reducer for leaks.
• Ensure that breather on gear reducer is not covered.
• Listen to reducer for any unusual noises.
Emergency stop button
• Check emergency stop button by pushing in button while mixer is running.
Pneumatic filter-regulator
• Check filter regulator for plugged or dirty filters.
• Drain filter bowls as needed.
Monthly maintenance checklist
Agitator: high-speed arm
• Retorque all bolts on spider end caps and hub bolts.
• Check for side-to-side motion using a pry bar. Agitator should not rub the inside of the bowl.
• Check all agitator beater bar bushings for wear. If more than 1/8-in. play is found in beater bar bushings, they should be replaced.
Agitator: sigma arm.
• Check for side-to-side motion using a pry bar. Agitator should not rub the inside of the bowl.
• Check the agitator pins that hold the agitator to the shaft. Ensure that the pins are not broken by looking for high spots where the pins are welded.
Agitator shaft bearing
• Listen to bearings running under load for any unusual noise or vibration.
• Check for hotter than normal temperatures of bearing heads, shaft and covers.
Bowl mounting
• Retorque all bowl mounting bolts.
• Inspect all seals for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
• Check slide gates/butterfly valves for excessive wear and binding.
• Check air lines for leaks.
• Check ingredient doors and switches for proper operation.
• Check any canopy mounted electrical conduit for damage.
Gear reducer
• Check oil level and quality. Remove oil level plug and check oil for burned or waxed oil. Flush out and replace if necassary.
Motor coupling
• Visually check rubber element.
• Check coupling hub set screws to ensure that they are tight.
Refrigeration system
• Check refrigeration hoses for binding or rubbing.
• Check for refrigeration leaks.
• Check pressure relief valve for obstructions.
Semi-annual maintenance checklist
Drive motor
• Properly lubricate the motor bearings. If you do not know how
to do this, reference your equipment manual.
Hydraulic tilt system
• Replace hydraulic fluid and filter.
Gear reducer
• Drain oil, flush and refill gearbox to oil level fill plug.
Dough temperature: key to quality
Maintaining the proper temperature of breads, rolls, English muffins and frozen dough is imperative to the quality of a final product. The Peerless Group offers a full line of equipment that maintains proper dough temperature and helps bakers achieve quality products.
Peerless offers many different refrigeration options based on a baker's temperature needs. Peerless' standard offering, as well as most other mixer manufacturers, is bowl jacket cooling, followed by bowl end cooling.
Peerless distinguishes itself with its patented systems: ColdBar® and ColdBarPlus®. The ColdBar® system includes jacket and bowl end cooling, but adds breaker bar cooling. The ColdBarPlus® system includes jacket, bowl end cooling and agitator bar cooling. The ColdBarPlus® system cools dough by as much as 8°F less than standard cooling because dough always is in contact with a refrigerated surface, and there is an increased cooling area.
The investment to include refrigeration options on a mixer ranges from $0 (because refrigerations comes standard on some mixers) to several thousand dollars. However, throughout the life of a mixer, the investment pays for itself many times over when compared to adding ice to dough. One of Peerless' customers used about 140 lbs. of ice per batch of dough, prior to purchasing the ColdBarPlus® system. In addition, the customer invested in two ice cabinets, which were kept outside of its facility, and an ice machine, which was positioned next to the mixer. The cost for this setup was at least as much as the refrigeration package. Plus, the costs continued to build as long as ice was used.
Adding ice also brings health and safety concerns, including injuries incurred from lifting heavy ice bags/buckets and cutting the ice bag. Increasing condensation around ice machines also raises safety concerns. It also is more time consuming to add ice manually than to use refrigeration during the normal mix cycle. Ice also adversely can affect dough quality and cell structure.
Dough handling systems
Peerless manufactures two dough feeders: the Spiral Flow® and the Rotary Dough Feeder (chunker). Both of these feeders move dough with significantly less horsepower than other similar machines. The Spiral Flow and Rotary Dough Feeder use 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower motors. Dough pumps and other handling machines use anywhere from 10 horsepower to 25 horsepower. The company's low horsepower unit does not increase the temperature of the dough.
Peerless supplies a full line of SuperGrain moulders, including cross grain, straight grain and SuperCurl. The moulders are available with a 3-D sheeting head, which uses six sheeting rollers and degassing rollers to gently and uniformly sheet dough by controlling input energy and yielding an extremely uniform cell structure.
