Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
7 Dangerous Drug Mistakes
The football player Terrell Owens blamed his recent trip to the hospital on a bad mix of painkillers and a supplement. The son of Anna Nicole Smith reportedly died with a mixture of the antidepressants Lexapro and Zoloft and the drug methadone in his system.
The veracity of these incidents is yet to be determined. But the danger of mixing drugs, supplements, and/or alcohol is very real.

Which OTC Pain Reliever Is Right for You?
Whether you get a toothache, headache, arthritis, or period cramps, non-prescription medicine might take your day from terrible to tolerable. There are so many types of over-the-counter (OTC) remedies to choose from, though -- and each one helps relieve pain in its own way. Here's some advice on how to know what could work best for you.
Read the Which OTC Pain Reliever Is Right for You? article > >
At least 1.5 million people in the U.S. are harmed annually by medication errors, according to a report issued in July 2006 by the Institute of Medicine.
Reducing your risk, experts agree, is often a matter of using common sense and asking your doctor or pharmacist the right questions. WebMD asked a pharmacist, two doctors, and a nurse to weigh in on the most common mistakes that lead to medication errors and to suggest practical ways to minimize or eliminate the risks.
1. Mixing Drugs That Interact Adversely
"Antidepressants and methadone together can be a real problem," says Russell Jenkins, MD, a member of the board of directors for the Institute for Safe Medication Practices in Huntingdon Valley, Pa., and a former primary care doctor for 27 years. "Each drug can increase the sedative effect of the other."
"Painkillers and supplements can be a problem, because you don't know what is in the supplements, since they are not under [the same] Food and Drug Administration regulation [as drugs are]," he adds.
Certain other combinations -- even if one of the drugs is over-the-counter -- should also be avoided.
Many antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, says Matthew Grissinger, RPh, a pharmacist and education safety analyst at the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. "Use backup protection if you are on the pill and need an antibiotic."
The blood thinner Coumadin, taken by people with blood clots or with heart valve conditions, shouldn't be mixed with ginseng, says Jenkins. Nor should it be used with aspirin, says Grissinger. "It's an additive effect," he says of the Coumadin-aspirin combination. "It increases your chance of internal bleeding or, if you get a cut on your finger, the blood won't clot as quickly." Indeed, there are many drugs and supplements that are off-limits when you are taking Coumadin.
If you have elevated blood pressure, even if you're on medication to control the pressure, you should not take over-the-counter oral nasal decongestants without talking first to your pharmacist or doctor, Grissinger says. The preparations can raise your pressure.

Rune Factory 4 And Story of Seasons Have Sold Very Well In North AmericaBy Ishaan . July 15, 2015 . 12:58pm
Xseed's more high-profile Nintendo 3DS titles have been selling well—specifically their farming RPGs.
Xseed's more high-profile Nintendo 3DS titles have been selling well—specifically their farming RPGs.
Rune Factory 4's journey to Europe has been a long one, but the 3DS farming RPG is well worth the wait.
PEGI gave the game an age rating of 12.
"I can say that it's been in the works for months already," Xseed's Ken Berry said to Siliconera.
Harvest Moon has quite the complicated past. Here's a look back at the winding path the series has taken over the years.
Marvelous have shipped 200,000 copies of Rune Factory 4 in Japan, the publisher announced this morning.
As suspected, Rune Factory 4's cancellation in Europe is connected to Neverland, Co. shutting down.
It would appear Rune Factory 4 is selling rather well in North America. The game is suffering shortages at retail, and Xseed say they're working hard to restock copies.
Marvelous AQL are teasing a new game for the Nintendo 3DS, which they say is from the developers of Rune Factory.
The European release of Rune Factory 4 has been cancelled, Marvelous AQL Europe announced this morning.
Nintendo of America asked Club Nintendo members to vote on their ten favourite Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games in 2013.
"As of now, it'll still remain a secret as to what kind of title we'll be releasing next, but I can say that the staff members are still doing great."
Rune Factory developer Neverland will be ceasing operations, the company has announced via its official website.
For every little problem it has, Rune Factory 4 makes up for it by offering you a lot of freedom in how you want to play. It was completely up to me how I wanted to spend my day, every day, once I was settled in.

NBA Games
Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Clippers
Oklahoma City has been impressive so far this season, and seem to be getting better. With Westbrook back after his season ending surgery last season, and having missed the off-season as well it kind of makes sense. They are a better team with him on the floor, and as he gets back into shape and the team gets back into rhythm with him, they will only improve. Now they face the Clippers who have been both great, and mediocre in their games, which also makes sense, considering the new coach. When it works, they are tough to beat, but there are going to be rough nights until Rivers' system becomes second nature to them.

Dogs need to be groomed, taken for a walk, fed and pampered apart from a firm dose of discipline and training in good manners. For this it needs your devotion and time. Patience, understanding, and perseverance are the keywords while training your pet.
Being angry can make things worse so you need to be firm while training your dog. Remember that every pet is born with certain innate personality traits and you should be able to handle it accordingly. Once trained, they show exceptional degree self assurance, nobility and confidence. Being naturally protective of their families and homes, five or six months old dogs may show some degree of suspicion toward strangers; sometimes some might even chase cats or become aggressive in the presence of other unfamiliar dogs.
So if you are planning to get a puppy, be sure it would need lots of exercise, supervision and most importantly, proper leash and collar training especially in situations where great deal of reliability is needed. Following are some tips for your dog to walk nicely on a leash.
a. Dogs do not know if they have to lead, walk side by side or lag behind. Most of the times they tend to move faster than their handlers as they are excited about their outdoor activities and leashes constrain their natural behavior. So it is mandatory for you to never allow pulling.
b. All walks are training sessions for your dog till it learns to walk without pulling on the leash. The outdoor walk session should be frequent but short and should be made interesting for your pet.
c. Dogs pull on the leash because they are full of energy and need extra activities so it is advisable to indulge your dog in other playful activities before going for loose leash training session.
d. Try walking briskly. This way your dog too will match your pace and have few opportunities to get distracted to other things.
e. Your pet needs to be rewarded for every instruction it follows successfully so choose your dog's favorite goodies, preferably soft treats that are usually denied at other times. This will not only encourage your pet but it will look forward to those training sessions.
f. If your dog gets excited and jumps around when you are about to clip on the leash, it is necessary to first calm your dog. You will need to stand still without saying a word till your pet calms down and has all his paws on the floor. You might have to repeat this till your pet learns to stay still while you clip on the leash. This practice will teach your pet to control itself not only before the walk but also on leash when it goes out for a walk.
g. Be cautious while handling the leash and do not jerk too hard else you can inflict injury to your dog's neck. Use four to six feet long leash and choose the leash material as per your requirement. Metal leash unlike leather ones can be too heavy on the hands but cannot be chewed by your pet. Nylon leash can cut into hands or cause leash burns.

N.C. amputee is ball girl at U.S. Open
NEW YORK - A 24-year-old triathlete from North Carolina with a prosthetic leg is working as a ball girl at the U.S. Open in New York City.
Kelly Bruno says although she is a competitive athlete, the job is hard because it involves "a lot of sprinting and standing."
Prosthetic feet, she explains, "aren't designed for standing or for quick acceleration."
Bruno, who lives in Durham, was born without a lower leg bone, and has worn a prosthetic from a very young age.
She was one of two amputees who applied for a job as a ball person at the Open. The other one was hired as a court attendant.

about me
Born in Rochdale in the UK, I became a chemical engineer. Later, as an antidote to facts and numbers, I began to write. First came an account of a journey through Mongolia, published as a charity ebook, "Hold the Dog! 16 Days in Mongolia". Nowadays I write short stories, and am some way through a novel. I live in Manchester.
I am interested in writing from different perspectives and in different styles, in stories about underdogs, stories that make people think, but most of all, I want to write stories that make people feel something.
"The Match" is scheduled for publication by Spelk Fiction in September 2016.
"The Lighthouse", a story about companionship in the face of change, was longlisted in August 2016 for the Cardiff Review Short Story Award.
"The Camp", an reimagining of a refugee camp, was published by Spelk Fiction in August 2016.
"Rising Waters", a short piece on how nature is no respecter of status, was published by Spelk Fiction in July 2016.
"The Day I Nearly Died", "The Beach House" and "Falling" all appeared in Issue 23 of Jotters United Lit-Zine in June 2016.
"The Beach House", a piece of flash fiction about choices and bravery, was published by Spelk Fiction in November 2015.
"Falling", a short piece about consequences and how life might not be so bad after all, was published by Storgy in June 2015.
"Wilfred", a short story about remembering, appeared in Issue 9 of Bunbury Magazine.
"The Election", a story about winning, losing and perseverance, can be read at A Little Feminist Blog on Language.
A selection of my stories are available to read and listen to at Macguffin.
In 2010 I wrote an account of time I spent in Mongolia as part of The Big Trip East in 2005. In 2011 I published the account as an ebook, "Hold the Dog! 16 Days in Mongolia". I donate all the proceeds from sales of the ebook to two Mongolia-related charities, CAMDA and the Yamaa Trust. You can discover more about the book, and how to get hold of a copy, here.
Other highlights from The Big Trip East were Tiger Leaping Gorge in south-west China, Lake Baikal in Siberia, and the Trans-Mongolian railway, each of which inspired me to write travel articles.
The Tiger Leaping Gorge article was published in the September 2006 issue of The Traveler e-zine, and in issue 15 of Itchy Feet Magazine.
The Lake Baikal article is, I was surprised to discover recently, published here, while the Trans-Mongolian article is published here.

A is for Alexander Wang
The designer made his debut at Balenciaga, the most eagerly-anticipated show of the whole season. Wang's collection was a considered offering and paid respect to both founder Cristobal Balenciaga and predecessor Nicolas Ghesquière. And Wang wasn't the only name to step into new design shoes – there was Natalie Ratabesi at Philosopy, Geraldo da Conceicao at Sonia Rykiel and Andreas Melbostad at Diesel Black Gold.

I have always considered myself an artist and dabbled in every medium out there. I graduated college with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts.
The feeling of flow when creating art is the ONLY reason I was interested in college. I haven't picked up a paintbrush, sculpted or even sat down to sketch in years but I feel like I've finally found my medium on the yoga mat.
My personal practice is for me an art. It's the way I get into the flow and time ceases to exist. Worries and fears fall away as I enjoy my breath; the process unfolds and folds. The asanas connect much like brushstrokes on a canvas. My mat is my canvas.
Today I was feeling stuck and maybe even bored, yes bored with my practice. I slid my mat next to my husband's who is usually there practicing next to me and my canvas got bigger. My brush strokes less confined and the flow became limitless. Anything is possible if we can think outside the box or in this case the mat.
Here's what flowed through me. I hope you enjoy and take what you like.

A Poem by Ganga White
What if our religion was each other?
If our practice was our life?
If prayer was our words?
What if the Temple was the Earth?
If forests were our church?
If holy water—the rivers, lakes and oceans?
What if meditation was our relationships?
If the Teacher was life?
If wisdom was self-knowledge?
If love was the center of our being?
I was introduced to this poem by my teacher Ganga White in 2006 while studying yoga at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara. Since then I have studied with many different teachers around the world. My practice has evolved over the years but I have continued to cherish the philosophy held within his words.
As a child I loved being outside and was always a bit of a naturalist. Ayurveda, the sister science to yoga, became a subject I was drawn towards and quickly found myself immersed in its teachings. Ayurveda explains the inherent wisdom of nature, and of how to use it to maintain balance in our lives.
Summer is my favorite time of year and the best place to practice is outside surrounded by the elements. Being outside helps us remember our own True Nature; that we ourselves are nature and very much a part of it. We start to move and breathe in a way that is connected to the Greater Self, in a way that is easy and free.
iflow Yoga is the style of yoga I share and practice. Nature is a big part of what informs this practice. When I look for answers I ask myself, "what is closer to Nature?" That's the direction I flow. Freddy & I were inspired by this poem and created this sequence together in Lake George, NY. We hope you enjoy the poem and the practice.

It's summer here in Lake George, NY and in the North East, USA. From an Ayurvedic point of view, that means it's Pitta Season! The elements of fire and water are predominant creating a steamy environment that can leave us hot tempered and irritable.
Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga and the oldest medicinal system in the world. According to Ayurveda, everything in the Universe, including each of us, is made up of the 5 elements: Earth, Air, Ether (Space), Fire and Water. Varying amounts of these elements is what makes each of us unique in terms of personality and physical characteristics. The elements that are highest in our composition determines our Dosha.
There are three Doshas: Vata Dosha is Air & Space; Pitta Dosha is Fire & Water; and Kapha Dosha is Earth & Water. Pitta Dosha types have fire & water elements that are most predominant in the recipe that makes up who we are. To find out your Dosha go to http://doshaquiz.chopra.com and take the quiz.
There's a simple, key principle in Ayurveda that you need to understand in order to make intelligent choices to help maintain a balanced Dosha: Like increases like, while opposites will pacify an imbalance. Remember this mantra!
If Pitta is your prominent Dosha, then be on high alert during the summer season. This is like increasing like, when fire and water are highest in the environment as well as within us. Regardless of your Dosha, everyone can benefit from an Ayurvedic practice to help keep cool when Pitta runs high. In your emotional state, you'll know your Pitta is high if you easily lose your temper, are sharp with your words, crave competition, act confrontationally and become controlling. In the physical body, high Pitta shows up in skin rashes, acne, excess stomach acidity, peptic ulcers, high blood pressure, heartburn, excessive body heat and sweating.
The Sanskrit word "ahara" means food but more accurately it refers to anything we take in through the five senses. That's important to remember when we start to think about balancing ourselves in relation to the five elements. People, places and things we take in should embody the elements of the Earth, Space & Air in order to balance steamy hot Pitta dosha. Let's look at the ways to cool our jets without having to literally jump in a lake (although that's not a bad idea to chill out fast)...
Activities for Pitta Season
Enjoy the outdoors as much as possible and take time off to decompress. Find shade where you can enjoy the fresh air and connect to the earth without overheating from the sun. Use the early morning, late afternoon and evening hours for light outdoor activities such as swimming, walking, our enjoying sporting activities. Evening walks under the cooling moon are especially beneficial to a Pitta aggravated mind and body.
Limit sun exposure especially during the hottest part of the day, from 10am to 2pm. Avoid over-scheduling and working long hours. Work pressures and stressful situations are even more unbalancing during a summer heat wave when our emotional state is already compromised.
If you're into essential oils and aroma therapy try sweet, cooling oils such as Rose, Fennel and Sandalwood. You can also combine these with smaller amounts of soothing oils such as Ylang Ylang and Frankincense and/or some uplifting oils such as Lemon or Peppermint. The combinations are designed to keep you calm, yet focused and alert.
If you like to take baths, try 4 drops each of Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang in the tub on hot days.
Diet for Pitta Season
Favor foods that taste sweet, bitter and astringent. It is these tastes that will pacify Pitta. Fruits like melons, cherries, and grapes are cooling. Vegetables like asparagus, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower & zucchini will pacify Pitta too. Eat the foods that your local environment yields in the summer months… a reminder of the intuitive intelligence of Mother Nature. One of my favorite Pitta pacifying treats is rose petal spread on toast (http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Rose-Petal-Spread-10oz/dp/B00CFRNNGE).
Use cooling seasonings such as coriander, cilantro, cardamom, saffron and mint! Add them to summer salads, mocktails and cocktails! Alcohol is pitta aggravating, however you can reduce some of its effects if you're smart about it. Make your drinks favoring sweet, bitter and astringent tastes. Here's a Pitta pacifying cooling summer drink recipe that you can add your favorite gin or vodka, or leave virgin:
But be careful with iced and frozen drinks. If a drink is too cold, it will dampen the digestive fire (or Agni) and compromise digestion. So limit iced beverages, and avoid them altogether during meals.
Stay away from hot and spicy foods, and foods with salty or sour tastes, such as yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk or sour oranges, grapefruit or pineapple. Avoid vegetables with heating properties including tomatoes, hot peppers, radishes, beets, onions, garlic and spinach. These will aggravate Pitta.
Pranayama for Pitta Season
Yoga Asanas for Pitta Season
Meditation for Pitta Season
I hope this keeps you cool, calm and collected this summer. One of the things that I love about Ayurveda is that there are no absolute rules. It is a system that allows the practitioner the freedom to make intelligent choices, using their intuition as well as knowledge of the elements to move in a direction that brings them to a place of balance. It is brilliant in its acknowledgement of individual diversity. I tell my students all the time that if you know what you're doing… you can do whatever you want as long as you're smart about it. A large component of the yoga I practice and share (iflow Yoga) is Ayurveda. The two are sister sciences and in my opinion should never be separated, each informing the other. Be well and share the Ayurvidya. And if all that doesn't work… well, then "just jump in a lake!"

YES! I'm completely obsessed with Chaturanga Dandasana.
Here's another way of working this very challenging pose. Whether we are entering into a yoga pose, a conversation or even a relationship, the direction we are coming from can make all the difference. I love finding Chaturanga Dandasana this way. Gravity is working differently. It's more challenging in some ways and simplified in others. Check it out for yourself...

Here's another area where there's confusion in vinyasa classes. It's rarely taught and students are not clear. Check out this short video… it's thorough but brief. I hope this helps you align more safely so that you get the most benefit from your practice.

Here's another "ouch" of a misalignment in motion… I see this ALL the time. In the Surya Namaskar A Vinyasa I'll have students jumping back into Plank then lower down into Chaturanga. Yup, jumping back to Plank! …pain ripples through my body just from typing that.
Teachers… NEVER say "jump back to Plank" and students please, NEVER jump back to Plank! Landing in Plank (with straight arms) puts too much stress on the wrists, shoulder joints and lower back. Once we have the strength and body control to perform the jump back, do so only by transitioning directly into Chaturganga. The Plank pose is eliminated in this flow. So how do we jump from Ardha Uttanasana to Chaturanga with good alignment, integrity and some shock absorption…?
Here's a short video detailing how this is done…

The post Jump Back to Chaturanga Dandasana appeared first on Amy Pastore.]]>
I see a lot of misaligned Chaturanga Dandasana in my Vinyasa yoga classes… and shoulder, wrist and elbow injuries come right along with that. Students are injuring themselves because they are not being taught. Unfortunately we aren't "teaching" this pose. I have heard teachers refer to themselves as simply a guide and that's ok, I guess it takes some pressure off. But a good guide would want to take you in the direction of safety, right? So whatever we feel comfortable calling ourselves, as yoga teachers it's our Dharmic responsibility to make sure students are doing things in a way that will not lead to injury. And equally important, as students we must trust and be receptive to the teacher's instruction.
Anything we do repetitively, no matter how well aligned, at some point will put stress on the body. So here's another point… do you really need to do a hundred Chaturangas in a flow class? Instead, try holding one good one for 30 seconds like Iyengar suggests in Light On Yoga. Too often we are influenced by the "more is better" principle in our society. Personally, I'll take quality over quantity in my yoga practice and I applaud the same with my students.
I have been told I "workshop too much" in my classes because I will stop a flow class to break down Chaturanga. I teach to what I see and I give my students what they need. I get it… students (and studio owners) don't want to stop the flow. Yet nothing stops a flow like a rotator cuff injury. So as yoga teachers we have to choose: do we give our students what they need or what they want… or what we want? Hmmmm… I guess I'd say a little bit of everything. But for the most part I save what I want for my personal practice and keep both eyes on the students in my classes.
As you can tell I am on a mission to clean up the Chaturanga pose and keep yogis in their flow. Here's a short tune up video on this pose for you to watch.
May your flow be inspired ~ intelligent ~ intuitive. Namaste.

I created this modified vinyasa to help my beginner students build strength and access the actions needed to practice the Chaturanga to Upward Facing Dog transition safely.
I'm not a fan of teaching students to drop their knees in high plank and move through Chaturanga to upward dog. I feel this action heavily loads the lower back. There are better, safer ways to make the transition. Here's a short video on the iflow Yoga transition I like to use instead.

It's been a while since my last blog. Here we are at the mid-point of another year, and this one has been very busy for me. I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, Bodhi… travelled with him and my husband to Bali… and with a lot of help from my support staff, certified 25 more amazing iflow Yoga instructors. I've been back in New Jersey for a month now and things haven't slowed down one bit.
Bodhi is almost 6 months old and I feel like life is passing at warp speed. I just can't get it ALL done. Most important is my precious time with Bodhi… but then there's time with students, time preparing for iflow Yoga teacher trainings and retreats, marketing, time to shave my legs, time to do my own practice. Oh… and don't forget about the husband! I just can't do it ALL.
That's what I found myself saying as I broke down over a pile of clothes I had freshly folded when my sweet Chihuahua jumped on the bed and I watched what had been a neat tower crash to the floor. This mommy meltdown ended up being an epiphany. I cried for a few minutes because we all know there's nothing like a good cry. There's a cleanse that occurs with a nice sob session that's like no other. It's a kind of surrender as you allow the floodgates to open.
I left the clothes on the floor and got Bodhi down for his nap. I was exhausted but rolled out my mat and settled into a 5 minute yin pigeon. I then realized how we often approach asana practice like it's a "to do" item … we want to master a posture so we can check it off our list. Maybe take a yoga selfie and move on to the next thing. There's a satisfaction that comes with being "done". With each completion you give yourself permission to move on to the next thing… or make another list.
What happens when we can't? What happens when we wake up and realize that we will never be done with yoga (or with anything)? There will always be a harder variation or a more challenging pose. There's something lovely about that. To embrace the knowledge that life isn't a "to do list" is to know what it really means to be living. This is the essence of yoga.
I have to let go of the idea of being done or finished. I will never be done; there will always be another thing on the list to do. There will always be setbacks and accidents, problems and roadblocks, things to iron out or things to clean up. This has always been my life but only recently have I come to fully appreciate this reality.
So that's my yoga practice right now. Accepting that I just can't do it ALL! I made it through 3 minutes on the other side in pigeon when a knock at the door woke up Bodhi and putting an abrupt end to my practice. It was different this time. I understood for the first time in my life what 24/7 means. We can only do the best we can in each moment. Because whether we accept it or deny it the truth is we can only live in the moment. We may want to live in the past or the future but that way of life is only an imaginary one. Through this practice may we be reminded that we can only do the best we can with the time we have, and sometimes that won't be enough to complete whatever it is we are trying to achieve. By softening, letting go of the desire to "be done" we can find peace in the fact that sometimes giving our best effort is more satisfying than seeing a completed list of "to do's".

Team Juanma Turn Down Magdaleno For Jan. 19
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com has been advised by sources close to the situation that former two division champion Juan Manuel Lopez's team has turned down a potential fight against undefeated super featherweight prospect Diego Magdaleno (23-0 9 KO's). The fight card is going to take place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York on January 19th.
The HBO tripleheader is being promoted by both K2 Promotions and Top Rank. WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido will face Mikey Garcia on the telecast along with the return of WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0) against an opponent to be determined.
Lopez was originally going to face former super bantamweight champion Wilfredo "WV2" Vaquez but the fight fell apart when both sides could not agree on the catch-weight. According to our sources Lopez is looking for a bigger fight in his first fight since his suspension following his March 10th defeat to Orlando Salido.
Diego Magdaleno returns on December 7th at the Texas Station Gambling Hall in Las Vegas, NV.

gay pornstar Bennett Anthony and Luke Harding
A year has passed since gay pornstar Bennett Anthony found Luke Adams one night on his honeymoon, and they haven't seen each other since. This site has follow Bennett back to the city full of sin and 'Drill My Hole' show us all the fantastic times ahead.
Bennett and his wife have split up and Bennett goes in search for the only man he has had sex with before. He even moves his job back to the city, and on his first night, he tries to find Luke Adams. He can only find one Luke on the internet so thinking it is his Luke, he sends him a private message telling him he owes him some time. Bennett lays back on the bed with just a towel around him showing off his muscular chest and tattoos and waits for the knock at the door. His cock is rock hard under the towel as he waits with eager anticipation.
There is a knock on the door at long last and Bennett opens the door to find a different Luke standing in from of him. His name is Luke Harding, and he is drop dead gorgeous. Bennett tries to tell him that its not him he wants, and that he has made a mistake. Luke Harding doesn't think so, he moves forward and kisses Bennett on his soft pink lips.
Luke pushes Bennett on to the bed and as his hands go under Bennett's towel to feel his hard cock and handing ball sack, he leans over and they kiss passionately once more. Bennett's breathing gets deeper as Luke strokes his hard cock in the palm of this hand as they kiss. He sits up and goes down Bennett's body and takes Bennett's cock between his lips, and down the back of his slutty little throat. Bennett gasps out, and as Luke sucks on his ginger cock, he squeezes, and massages Bennett's balls in the palm of his hand.
Luke then gets down and onto his back, he lifts his legs up and spreads them wide in an open invitation to Bennett. Bennett can't move quick enough, he loves eating a good tight asshole. Bennett lays on his front, he can feel the hard mattress below him as he grinds his aching cock into it whilst he darts his eager tongue in and out of Luke's slutty asshole. Luke sighs with pleasure as his body tingles all over as Bennet gets his asshole all wet and ready for his cock.
Luke begs for Bennett to fuck him when he feels his asshole dripping with Bennett's spit. Bennett kneels between Luke's spread legs and Bennett thrusts his cock deep into his tight and hot asshole. The camera zooms in and we get a great shot of Bennett's cock buried deep up to his balls up Luke's tight crack. They rut like a couple of rabbits on heat as they fuck and suck all over the bed and in different exciting positions.
Sweat pours down their hot bodies and as Luke Harding sits on top of Bennett's cock, his cum zooms out and splashes across Bennett's face and all over his fiery red beard. Bennett Anthony sits with his balls resting against Luke's wet cock and jerks his cock franticly until his hot cum blast out over Luke's mouth and chin.
Bennett Anthony has flaming red hair and bright blue eyes and is a very striking figure. He has a powerful body covered in fantastic tattoos. He is versatile and has a seven inch cut cock, Red hair, blue eyes, and is five feet eight inches tall. Bennett has starred in thirty seven hardcore movies for this website and was excellent in 'Pretty Boy' as a high class hooker on the streets.

Anyway after he calculated the cost using the square footage, discounts, coupons, etc etc etc blah blah he came up with a cost of..........$37,000!!!!!!!
Well my 1st response was that is way way more than I was prepared to hear so thanks for coming out here and goodbye. The he started 'the dance'. Let me call my manager and so forth. I'm like, don't bother we are way too far abpart to waste our time with this. No, no let me just check in. Come to find out the salesman miscalculated the job (or so he said). Now we were looking at a cost of $25,000 in round numbers and he is gonna throwh in the carpet for the stairs!!! BFD! So anyway, I like the floor and the carpet and they have the no interest financing offer and I'm prepared to make a large down payment, so we proceed. I write 2 checks for $100 each to Empire as deposits on the carept and laminate. He finishes measuring and finally leaves my house at 9:30.
The next morning I start having second thoughts as I am reading the contract and see some discrepancies between the salesman's 'rap' and the actual contract. I speak to a mid-level manager of some kind called Reuben (or so he says. He answers my questions re the misconstrued policies to my satisfaction.I then remark I thought it was pretty stupid to send a salesman with 1 week on the job out to do a job the size of mine. I now understand they rpobably don't keep salespeople more than a month becuase of their business practices. Anyway I tell Reuben I am uncomfortable about the price quote I received in view of the fact the salesman clearly was clueless about just about everything. Reuben says he looks at the order and after 30 seconds tells me,I in fact got the best price Empire can do for this job. I say okay and hang up. 2 hours later I call to cancel the whole order. My gut said something stinks here and take care of it before the 3 day cancellation runs out so I did. Incredibly enough when I called to cancel the lady came back on the line after a minute or 2 and gave me a confirmation number for my cancellation, but then she said, 'we would really like to keep your business, so if you decide to reinstate your order within 3 days we will reduce the bill from $23750 to $19,000!!!!! That is the precise moment I knew I had just dodged a very big bullet with RIPOFF written ALL OVER IT. Guess I should feel fortunate, but right now I'm still feeling raped and ripped off. I have never gotten my 2 deposit checks back (only $200)and today they showed up in my checking account, processed last night a full week plus after I cancelled my order.
Empire tells me that's their policy, and that I will receive my refund back in 10 to 15 business days from when they took it. BALONEY!!!!! They knew good and well long before they deposited the check in to their 'system' that they had no order from me. They should have dropped the checks in an envelope and returned them to me the day after I cancelled.
I know I will eventually get my $200 back, but I really think something needs to be done about this company. atfer reading all these comments it is painfully obvious that Empire is a cancer which is spreading across the USA and we really need to stop it. How about everyone combining their complaints into a class action suit v Empire or getting a natoional or local newscast to pick up the story. Our local CBS affiliate has been running 1 on EZ Lube out here for about a week now and I really think the chain is gonna be shutdown for business practices, poor workmanship, fraud, misrepresentation, etc.
This website makes us all 'neighbors' in a way. Let's do the neighborly thing and get after these lying, stealing, scum-sucking pigs!!!

In defense of Empire Carpet I would like to offer my opinion I think Empire is the greatest company in existence. My entire family has used them for at least 10 years.i have never had an issue with them. Granted we did have a few problems with a few items. However they more than compensated. to give you an example my Mom ordered a carpet from Empire and while they were installing it my Mom realized that she didn't like it at all, even though it was the one she had ordered, I called Empire and asked them what they could do about it. I even offered to kind of pay for part of the inconvenience. To my surprise they sent the Sales Rep back for my Mom to pick out another color. And guess what they didn't charge me a dime for it. Let me say something here I have referred about 15 or so customers to them and i have never heard of one complaint from any of them. You know when you look at the scope of the amount of jobs that they do. The complaints are bound to be there with some people. I have never took the time to write to anyone like this. But had to offer my opinion on this one. and believe me my husband is a real perfectionist. A very happy customer.........

I got nicked for 690 RMB for a few beers and drinks. Small potatoes compared to what others have reported but it still stung. The shopkeeper brings little snacks - stuff that should be free. Turns out that tiny plate of almonds cost 139 RMB - about $20 US.
If you get stuck like this put down half the total and tell them and the shop owners that is all you are paying and walk out. Let them figure it out.

So the police came to the tourist office and I took them to the shop - name above the door says "Internet Cafe". We waited outside for a while until another police car came. Then we - 5 police officers and me - went into the shop. One officer spoke English reasonably well and translated.
After some wrangling with the owner they offered to adjust the bill. I said I would pay for the beers but not the drinks the girls ordered, nor the overpriced almonds and snacks (which I did not order). Total refunded to me was 376 RMB (about $50 US). I was quite surprised by this outcome. Figured the money was lost.
This scam appears to be quite common. While I was walking around before I went to the tourist office I was approached by 3 other pairs of women, apparently with the same program in mind. I assume they get a kick back from the teashops, but maybe they just do it for the joy of screwing tourists.

As a prospective parent, or pupil, you will be looking for a school that provides an outstanding all-round education - a place where each individual can realise his or her full potential, whether that be in the classroom, on the sports field or in activities such as art, music or drama. To deliver such an education requires a dedicated team of talented people and that is exactly what we have at Glenalmond.
Academic achievement is central to any school and we are justly proud of our record. Our results at both GCSE and A Level are consistently strong and the vast majority of our pupils gain entry to the university of their choice. When it comes to examinations, there is no alternative to hard work, but pupils deserve teachers that can truly inspire them - that bring their subjects to life and make learning both interesting and enjoyable.
Why did we choose Glenalmond? Watching friends' children who went to the school develop into confident, kind, happy adults. Current parent
Of course, there is far more to an education than just academics. We are a busy seven day-a-week school, built on an ethos of full boarding. We provide a rich and varied range of extra-curricular activities and we encourage our pupils to participate in as many as possible. Young people need challenges, and at times we all need to be taken out of our comfort zones. In meeting these challenges all of our pupils, boarding and day, are given opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
The academic and extra-curricular life at Glenalmond is underpinned by outstanding pastoral care. Our children require space to breath, but they also need the guidance and understanding of caring adults. We are fortunate indeed in having such a dedicated team of house parents and tutors. Their work is at the very heart of our community and they provide a secure, supportive and friendly environment for the young people in their care.
Whilst it is certainly true that people make this school special, we are also blessed with a magnificent location. I cannot conceive of a more wonderful place to study, to live and to grow. Set in the heart of Perthshire, in some of the most beautiful countryside in the United Kingdom, Glenalmond enjoys the best of both worlds - the security of a rural environment including unrivalled access to outdoor pursuits and the excitement that is provided by easy access to two of our greatest cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Why did we choose Glenalmond? Pastoral care, wide variety of activities, sporting excellence and high academic standards. Current parent
Throughout my career as an English teacher, housemistress and school leader, I have always strived to be child-centred. My over-riding objective is that the boys and girls at Glenalmond enjoy a fulfilling and successful time at school, and in doing so they develop the humility and confidence required to live significant lives when they leave. I hope you enjoy browsing our website and that it inspires you to come for a visit. I promise you a very warm welcome!
Elaine Logan, Warden

On Thursday, Sept. 9, Jimmy and Jacob Shirley and Hunter McQuary traveled to Starkville to attend the MSU vs. Auburn football game. Ashley Russell also attended. They were some mighty disappointed dawg fans since State wasn't able to pull out a victory.
The annual Garrison reunion was held Saturday, Sept. 11, at Mildred Pitner's home. About 40 family members gathered for lunch. Out of town guests attending were John and Joyce Garrison from Collierville, Tenn.; Corey, Priscilla, and Reagen Howell from Brandon, Miss.; Michael and Drew Garrison from Walls, Miss.; and Mark, Donna, and Justin Pitner from Booneville, Miss. Mildred has been hosting this reunion for about 20 years.
Pud Garrison has been under the weather and has had to make several trips to the doctor. The family reports that she is better now. She was able to make it to the Garrison reunion.
Saturday was a busy day for West Union children. The day started off at East Union with the cross country team competing. Savannah Shirley came in 5th and Mallory Newby came in 7th. The girls only had four competing so they needed one more runner to compete as a team. The other members running in the girls' race was Allie Newby and Destiny Windham. West Union boys came in third.
At the New Albany Sportsplex, the boys fall ball league played several games of baseball, and the Union County Slow Pitch softball games began at noon. The West Union team played very well. They had a shot at the championship, but were unable to cash it in. Each girls' team in the county played four games each. There were some mighty tired girls at the end of the day! Macedonia folks made up a large portion of the fan section.
Sunday, Sept. 12, Macedonia Church honored Magan Scott with a bridal tea. The fellowship hall was decorated in fall colors with arrangements of beautiful sunflowers throughout the room. Kay Page's fruit arrangement was admired bya ll. Magan is the bride elect of Jonathan Williams. She received many beautiful gifts. Magan and Jonathan will be married on Oct. 9.
Each Sunday the members at Macedonia Baptist Church delight to see the new developments in the new sanctuary. Concrete has been poured and the plumbing done. Next work will begin on the walls.
The Union County Baptists left on a mission trip to Star, Miss. on Sunday, Sept. 12. Harold Grisham and Patrick Grisham attended from Macedonia. They intend to work on Children's Village buildings.
The West Union elementary beauty revue will be Thursday, Sept. 16, and the high school beauty revue will be Friday, Sept. 17. Both pageants will begin at 6 pm.

The incorrect ad was run in subsequent issues. They have refused to acknowledge that they have committed a material breach of contract by so doing these things.
A summary of my issues with LWT magazine follows.
A brief summary of the
facts in this case follow. I sent LWT a June 19,2012 letter advising them to cancel the remainder of the contract and to consider it null and void because LWT failed to print the ad that I had approved. LWT failed to respond to voice messages left with LWT and they failed to respond to emails that I sent. It has been a pattern
with LWT that they fail to respond to phone calls and emails. Moreover, they failed to print the correct ad copy that I provided to LWT.
In addition, in December 2012, LWT, further breached the terms of the
original contract by ignoring the June 19, 2012 letters request to consider
the contract null and void.
Specifically, in December 2012, LWT sent a packet of copies of the monthly ad printed in
the LWT magazine through December 2012, to Stephanie OConnell. In every single issue, the incorrect ad was printed. At this time they have retained legal counsel and have escalated their insistence that I pay them additional money. I have asked for a refund of the amounts I paid on May 30, 2012 & also in August 2012. They insist I owe them over $600 at this time. I have advised them that if they continue this insistent demands for me to pay more money, I may consider this harassment and abuse of process. I am awaiting the response from them to a letter I am mailing on Jan 2, 2013.

Guys & Girls:
Guys & Girls at Alma all seem to dress presentable. You will never go to class and see a female dressed in baggy sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Students at Alma care about their appearance and how others think of them.
Guys & Girls:
The small town atmosphere allows you to make a lot of friends quickly. However, it also makes sure that EVERYONE is in your business. Anything happens, anything, and everyone will find out in a few days. Also, Alma College students have this habit of being really really really driven and at the same time really dysfunctional. Of course, there are exceptions, but it's funny to see the top of the class, involved in a thousand clubs and activities also partying the hardest on the weekends. There isn't much racial diversity and nearly everyone is Christian, but there are cliches for pretty much any personality or interest. The close dorm rooms make for very lazy dressing: a lot of people come to class in sweats.
Guys & Girls:
There are many relationships on campus between athletes. About half of the people wear sweats to class and the other half look nice.
Guys & Girls:
Both are friendly and outgoing in their own ways.
Guys & Girls:
No one ever dresses down. Classes are taken very seriously and everyone is very dedicated to thriving. Athletics, the arts, and greek life are big aspects at Alma and almost everyone is involved.

I came to second interview -- casual dress, was introduced to man who then took me to his car. We traveled out and as we were leaving I asked questions; trying to find out where we were going; of course very cryptic responses.
I went to a neighborhood to go door to door trying to sell ATT UVERSE tv and internet service to people who did not have any clue we were coming.
At lunch he told me the advancement procedure and that the business was commission based. You make $100 for each account you sell. -- he did not make a sale that day, thus making NO MONEY. I was offered the position with the company when I got back that day. I discussed the day with the other candidate and we both decided it was not something either of us could EVER do.
He also told me of the other companies, NBC, INC (nashvile business consulting), Orange LTD, and Luxe INC around Nashville. All were of the same. -- Google them.
Companies like this are out to get new college students who are impressionable and who need immediate jobs. It is a joke. DO NOT GO IN!! PLEASE REFERENCE THIS REPORT!

I agree! working there was the WORST decision I ever made. They lied to me starting at the interview! I don't know what NBC is, but I know they're connected to somewhere called Sky Inc in Nashville. They do the same thing there.

text: Hi I'm having trouble showing all my blogs content on the home page using the <?php the_content(); ?> tag in replacement with the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> tag that is already on my index page. I just got the new theme called Ocean Mist 1.0 and it looks great. However once I replace the "excerpt" to "content" in the index page my page gets all messed up. The sidebar goes to the bottom and the background blends in everywhere. Am I suppose to replace the <?php the_content(); ?> tag any where else on my site for it to work on the home page or is it just on the home page? If it is just on the home page why is it messing up the page. Please help! I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

The first and foremost advantage of Smart Objects inside Photoshop is that they permit you to apply non-destructive transformations, meaning that you can scale a Smart Object as many times as you like without ruining it. Compare that to scaling some other pixel based layer inside of Photoshop. If you scale it multiple times, you will incrementally destroy the information on that layer and we'll see how that works. We will see the difference between destructive and non-destructive transformations in this very exercise. So what I'd like you to do is go ahead and open this document that's called 35- percent logo.psd. I have so named this document because after all I have scaled the logo to 35% of its original size.
Now back in the old days, prior to Photoshop CS2, if you imported an illustration into Photoshop, it would be permanently rasterized. So it would look like this. Just for the sake of comparison here, I'll go ahead and show you what it used to look like. I will go to the Glistenex Logo layer, right-click in an empty portion of the layer, not on the name and not on the thumbnail, and if you don't have a right mouse button on the Mac, you would press the Ctrl key and click, and then choose Rasterize Layer and you will see that your Smart Object icon goes away, and we now have a standard pixel based layer.
So here I am. I have got my logo. I'm playing around with it, my art director comes by and says, "what in the world are you doing?" And I'm like, "just doing my job." Then here she says, "No, no, no, that Glistenex logo is too darn small. They are very fussy client, and they just hate it when their logo is only of the size of the dude's shoulder. It needs to be much larger than this." And I'm like okay, yeah, fine. So what I'll do is I'll just go ahead and transform it and make it bigger. Why don't I? So I'll go up to the Edit menu and I'll choose the Free Transform command, Ctrl+T, Command+T on the Mac. And then it's telling me that the size of the logo is 100%. Even though I know it's 35% of its former size, I'm being told that's 100% of its size and that's because now that its pixels, Photoshop has no memory of what it used to be.
All right, so I'll just go ahead and make it really gargantuan because that's what they want. They want their logo so huge that it covers up the dude's face, and it's looking pretty choppy actually. I'll go ahead and zoom in on that logo to the 100% view size and I'm thinking, hmm, that's not welcome news, but at the same time, Free Transform doesn't show you the anti-aliasing while you are in the Free Transform mode. It abandons the anti-aliasing. So it's not really a good indicator of the final appearance. You are not going to know what it really looks like until you go ahead and press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac. And there it is and it looks like garbage. It looks very bad and you can see that we have got some very rough transitions and this is a function of bicubic interpolation. So it's good interpolation, it's just horrible results because we have upsampled so significantly.
So then the art director says, "Whoa, that looks terrible. Make it smaller again. We can't have it that big if it's going to look like that." So you will press Ctrl+T or Command+T on the Mac and make it smaller. I'm Shift+Dragging by the way the corner handle, so I'm constraining the proportions. So I'd say, "Okay, I'll make it smaller" and press Enter or Return, and they say, "No, not that small. What are you thinking? Make it bigger again". So I'll press Ctrl+T or Command+T on the Mac and I'll make it bigger again and I'm getting flustered now and I press Enter or Return and now it really looks like just horrible now and I get fired.
So that's a very sad story. Thanks to a lack of Smart Objects in Photoshop CS and earlier, I got fired. All right, so boy, that looks terrible. So now thanks to Smart Objects, how do things look? Let's just go up to the File menu and choose the Revert command or press F12 in order to restore the original Smart Objects version of the logo. So let's replay that exact conversation. I'm sitting there, la, la, la, la, la, editing my ad, art director comes by, slaps me around a little, tells me that Glistenex logo should not be the size of the dude's shoulder. It needs to be much bigger.
I'm like okay, okay, I'll make it bigger. So I press Ctrl+T, Command+T on the Mac. It is a Smart Object now. So we have our original vector data embedded inside of this photographic composition and that's why Photoshop knows that the size is 35%. So it remembers. So if I make the logo really big like so, it's not looking good. I'll go ahead and zoom into 100% again and it's not looking good in the Free Transform mode, but that's because the anti-aliasing is temporarily turned off. I will go ahead and press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac to accept that larger size. And see how long it took for Photoshop to calculate that? It's working from that original data. Oh! It's gorgeous.
Now, my art director says, "No, no, no, what are you thinking. It doesn't want to be that big. Make it smaller." And so I say, okay, Ctrl+T, Command+T on the Mac and make it really tiny, just this infinitesimal little dot of a logo. That's only 1.4% of its original size and then I press the Enter or Return key in order to accept that, and then my art director says, "My God man, have you lost your mind? It can't be that small. It could fit in the guy's shirt. It's so tiny." So I say, "Oh! Okay, you are right", and I press Ctrl+T, Command+T on the Mac in order to bring up Free Transform again. I press the Shift key, I make my logo bigger, and actually they want it at 65%.
So she mercifully tells me that, or he, and I'll change the Width value to 65%, while the link is on, so I have a height of 65% as well and then I press the Enter or Return key a couple of times in order to accept that modification and it looks gorgeous. My job is saved. In fact, I just got a big, fat Glistenex raise. So that's awesome. Anyway, thanks to the power of Smart Objects and the fact that they do afford you access to non-destructive transformation. So you can make something smaller, make it bigger, rotate it, rotate it back, do whatever you want.
You can even warp and unwarp objects without harming them, because every single operation is concatenated. Meaning that there is just one overarching transformation that's applied. In this case, it's a 65% scale and that's it. Despite all of the many transformations that I applied over and over again, it all boils down to 65%. The end. In the next exercise, we'll see how we can edit this illustration right here from Photoshop in Illustrator. Check it out.

AbstractThe ionic liquid 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methyl sulfate, [MMIm][MSO4], together with a small amount of water (the amount taken up by the ionic liquid upon exposure to air), acts efficiently as both solvent and catalyst of the Knoevenagel condensation reactions of malononitrile with 4-substituted benzaldehydes, without the need for any other solvent or promoter, affording yields of 92%–99% within 2–7 min at room temperature. When L-proline is used as an additional promoter to obtain coumarins from o-hydroxybenzaldehydes, the reaction also proceeds in high yields. Work-up is very simple and the ionic liquid can be reused several times. Some of the coumarins obtained are described for the first time.

Today the day to 'button up'STAFF REPORT | October 05,2013MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin has declared today "Button Up" day in Vermont.
It's meant to help Vermonters take actions that will lower their energy bills this winter and reduce their contribution to climate change, according to a news release.
Modeled after Vermont's successful Green Up Day, this event will be the first grass-roots day of action on weatherization in Vermont. The day, which is being spearheaded by the Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network, is aimed at mobilizing as many volunteers as possible throughout the state to take steps — large and small — to help Vermonters stop wasting energy and become more energy independent.
"Every year, many Vermont homeowners waste hard-earned dollars because their homes are inefficient and leaky," said network coordinator Johanna Miller in the release.
"Button Up Vermont Day of Action is intended to be a fun, collaborative, community-driven effort to arm more people with the information, incentives and path they need to stop wasting energy and start saving money."
More than 30 communities have signed up to participate, including Barre, Montpelier and Randolph.MORE IN This Just InPolice said a Rutland man knocked out another mans teeth.

Sunday, June 23, 2013
GREENE COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Georgia Department of Natural Resources says they just finished up a major search and rescue after two kayakers got separated yesterday afternoon.
Officers say the boaters went out on the Apalachee River around midday.
The man and woman were split up when they reached a fork in the river and ended up drifting down different paths.
The man ended up following a path along the riverbank that led to a road. He eventually found a house where he could call for help.
Knowing she was lost, the woman called 911 around 8 p.m. from a different part of the river. Officers tracked her cellphone signal to find her location.
DNR says they spent all night searching with helicopters and officers on the ground through Morgan, Greene and Oconee counties to find her.
She was finally found along the bank of the river around 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
