A leading expert on sports supplements has outlined the possible health ramifications the Essendon players involved in the club's 2012 supplements program could face.
Bradley Clark, a master of human factors engineering and health science, has produced a risk assessment for players given drugs which form part of the thymosin group.
He based the document on the peptide thymomodulin, which isn't banned but could pose major health issues depending on what was in the drug.
This assessment has been delivered to lawyers representing a group of the 34 past and present players seeking compensation against the club and possibly the AFL for being administered the banned drug, thymosin beta-4.
Clark says the "pertinent questions" the players need to ask are whether they have had a chronic minor cough, mood swings, skin itches and rashes, depression - which he cites former Bomber Jake Carlisle as being liable to - gastro issues or inexplicable diarrhoea or vision issues, as a result of the injecting regime.
Carlisle's lawyers have linked his off-season drug use with the trauma of his last three years at Essendon.
Clark also asks whether the partners of the players had a miscarriage during the program.
Clark has outlined 51 materials which could have made up the drug. He writes that "the chance there was one of these diseases in the thymomodulin [if it came from China] is real".
When interviewed on the ABC's Four Corners last week, Clark said the long-term ramifications could be cancer.
Stephen Dank, the self-styled sports scientist at the heart of the program, claims to have given the players thymomodulin, and not thymosin beta-4.
He denies he had biochemist Shane Charter source the peptides for Essendon from China, but Charter maintains he delivered the ingredients from the Chinese-based company, GL Biochem, and these were to be compounded in Melbourne.
Player agent Peter Jess, who represents former Bomber Nathan Lovett-Murray, said Clark's assessment would form part of his compensation bid against the Bombers. This is expected to be linked with questions over whether any of the drugs given to the players had been endorsed by the Therapeutic Goods Association.
"The stuff given to the players, it's horrendous. It could have massive implications for their health," Jess said.
Jess last week linked with sports lawyer Chris Pollard, who is representing, among others, Dyson Heppell and Carlisle.
They have not ruled out taking legal action against the AFL for alleged health and safety breaches, and whether the league, as Jess claims, was "too busy trying to be a policeman and catching Essendon in the act rather than preventing it".
On thymosin, Clark told Four Corners: "It's a peptide, it's an amino acid sequence which comes from the thymis. Within the thymis, you have got, I think we know of eight or nine peptides at the moment, thymosin beta-4, thymosin alpha 1 ... there is a lot. The positive effects of thymosin beta-4 are cell regeneration and repair, in a manner similar to an anabolic steroid."
Asked what were the dangers, he replied: "Cancer, I guess - accelerated mutanagenic response to growth factors. That's a complex term but it means that you are photocopying photocopies of photocopies, [if] there is an error, it turns to cancer."
The human body produces naturally recurring levels of thymosin beta-4 but there are no tests to produce a "baseline" of these levels and to differentiate what may have been artificially added, or whether thymosin beta-4 was performance enhancing, despite it being on the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list.
The players involved in the program will have their health monitored under a program devised by the AFL Players' Association and the Bombers for at least the next decade.
Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority chief Ben McDevitt says the "scariest" aspect of the "injecting regime" was that he still does not know what, if any, potential long-term health implications there could be for the players.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport found the players had taken thymosin beta-4 and they have been suspended until September. They are appealing this finding before the Swiss Federal Court.
Who was the player of round one in the AFL premiership season 2016?

Crewe cut down Gills
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Crewe thumped fellow strugglers Gillingham 4-1 at Gresty Road.Crewe climbed further away from trouble at the wrong end of the table with a thumping 4-1 win over fellow strugglers Gillingham.
Dean Ashton grabbed a brace and further goals from David Vaughan and Steve Jones ensured Darius Henderson's strike for Gillingham was only a mere consolation.
Gillingham came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first 30 minutes with Darren Byfield seeing his shot crash off the woodwork.
Crewe went in front on 35 minutes with Vaughan sweeping home Anthony Tonkin's cross.
The home side doubled their lead on 71 minutes with Ashton finishing off Kenny Lunt's clever free kick.
Gillingham pulled a goal back two minutes later with Henderson heading past Clayton Ince.
Ashton restored the two-goal cushion two minutes later with Ashton running clear onto Lunt's pass before slotting the ball home.
Crewe wrapped up the convincing win with a fourth goal in the final minute as Jones scored from close range.

Large bandwidth internet services have subverted the staid world of business telecommunications by opening up a wide variety of new options. In the early 1990s, we were content with standard issue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) lines which would carry our phone calls and fax transmissions.
Now, with broadband connections coming at us from all directions, business customers are beginning to wonder whether they need to continue to rely on the 20th century dinosaurs who cannot wean themselves off price tarriffs that have carried over from the age of public sector telephone monopolies.

March 2014 - Navigator of the Seas to Caribbean - Western
Off and on cruise on Navigator of the Seas
We were part of the oil spill mess in Galveston. The ship was delayed and were did not get on the ship until almost 1am Monday. The lines and waits to check-in and board were long and slow. RCCL kept saying updates would follow at certain times and never were at that time. HOWEVER...
Once on board it was a good time, even after the cruise was cancelled.
Monday night it was announced that the port was closed and the cruise had been cancelled and we would receive a full refund plus a voucher for 25% of the cruise cost toward another cruise.
PLUS we could stay on the ship until Sunday, As on person put it we had a free week at a 5 star hotel.
Tuesday it was announced that the port was open and we would sail the next day for Cozumel. So we did get a free one port cruise and our money back.
RCCL was great during the whole process that was more or less out of their hands. My only complaint was they never gave updates when the said they would. Even if they had nothing new to announce (which most of the time they didn't) they should have made announcements when =promised.

DETROIT (Jul. 21)
The Rumanian Orthodox Episcopate of America, in its annual convention at Grass Lake, Mich., adopted a strong resolution backing Archbishop Valerian D. Trifa and pledging to aid in his defense against the U.S. Department of Justice in the move to have him deported as a participant in Nazi crimes and the murder of Jews in Rumania during the years of the Hitler regime.
The resolution on behalf of Trifa stated that he "has been subjected to continuous attacks on his reputation in order to disrupt his leadership." and that "these continued attacks have culminated in a judicial proceeding intended to smear and destroy his reputation, which interferes with the peace and religious freedom of the members of the Episcopate." The convention also reaffirmed "its trust in and allegiance" to Trifa, pledged its support in his defense, and sent a copy of the resolution to President Ford.
Two weeks ago, the U.S. Attorney in Detroit formally charged Trifa with having won his naturalization through "false and untrue" denials of membership in the Iron Guard and participation in the murder of Jews and Masons in Rumania in 1941.

Performing a Database Backup, Restore, and Rollforward
© 2001 International Business Machines Corporation. All rights reserved.
This paper provides a step-by-step guide to performing the basic operations of a database backup, restore, and the rollforwarding of log files. The following examples will introduce syntactical variations of these utilities in order to display the flexibility of the DB2® product.
In general, this topic will address issues of authorization, required connections, syntax and helpful usage notes to successfully perform a backup, restore, or rollforward procedure. It is assumed you are familiar with the DB2 Universal DatabaseTM (DB2 UDB) engine and your system meets the following requirements:
- DB2 UDB version 6 or 7 is installed.
- An instance has been created in DB2.
- The operating system is UNIX®, Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000 or Windows NT.
- The edition of DB2 is Personal, Workgroup, Enterprise (EE), or Extended-Enterprise (EEE).
- There is enough disk space on the local machine or storage device to hold the backup image.
Note: All examples in this paper are created from a DB2 command line environment.
Creating the sample database
The database used in these examples is a "sample" database which can be created by performing the following:
- On Windows NT for DB2 V7.1:
- Click on the Start menu at the lower left hand corner of the screen.
- Click on Programs.
- Click on (IBM DB2).
- Click on First Steps.
- Click on Create the Sample Databases.
- Select Sample.
- On UNIX:
- Switch User to the DB2 instance owner.
- Execute db2profile which is located in $HOME/instance owner/sqllib
- Type db2sampl at the command line.
Note: If db2sampl is not found, it means that the optional db2sampl script was not installed with the rest of the DB2 product. You will need to manually create a database.
Testing the effects of the rollforward command
If you will be using the sample database as a test for the examples below, update or insert rows into one of the tables in the sample database. This way, you will be able to see the effect of using the rollforward procedure versus not using it. For example, one of the tables residing in the sample database is the employee table. After backing up but before restoring the database, issue a command like this:
db2 "update employee set empno = '11' where firstnme = 'CHRISTINE'"
The "empno" field for 'CHRISTINE' is changed from '10' to '11'.
Then, if you decide to use the rollforward option, you will see that this update has been recovered from the log file. If the rollforward option is not used, you will see the previous value of '10'.
High-level overview
Before going through the process of a backup, restore, and rollforward, it might be beneficial to look at the process from a graphical viewpoint. As we step through the process, refer to the graphic below for more clarity.
Database backup
Before backing up a database, make sure to have one of the following authorities on DB2:
For these examples, create a directory such as C:\backup in which to store the database image. It is not necessary to connect to the database in order to perform a backup since the backup command will automatically create a connection. In addition, make sure no other applications are connected to the database when performing an offline backup or you will receive an SQL1035N error message. DB2 "list applications" and DB2 "force applications all" are useful commands for this task.
There are two types of backups you can perform. The first is an offline database backup. This type of backup requires an exclusive connection to the database since all tablespaces in the database will be backed up. The second type is an online database backup. This type of backup is especially useful for users who run production databases and need to have one or more of the tablespaces in the database running continuously. When an online backup is used, only the tablespaces being backed up require an exclusive connection by the user. This permits other tablespaces within the database that are not being backed up to remain online for other applications to access.
Note: If performing an online backup, make sure the rollforward recovery parameter
logretain = on or
userexit** is enabled in the database configuration file. If it is not, you will receive an SQL2413N error and will need to perform the following commands:
db2 "update database configuration for [database name] using logretain on" > db2stop > db2start
**Since the
userexit option requires detailed instructions, it will not be discussed in this paper.
After logretain, userexit, or both of these parameters are enabled, make a full offline backup of the database. A verification to see if the database is in backup pending state can be made by performing the following command:
db2 "get database configuration for sample"
Then look for the "Backup Pending" value (it will be set to "YES" or "NO"). After a full database backup is made, you will be able to perform an online tablespace backup at anytime thereafter.
Example 1 - Offline database backup to a local directory
db2 "backup database sample user db2admin using db2admin
to c:\backup with 3 buffers buffer 1000 without prompting"
This command will produce a backup image of the database "sample" with a user of db2admin and password of db2admin (only needed if the current user does not have the required database authorities). The image will be stored in c:\backup using 3 buffers each having a buffer size of 1000 pages. The "without prompting" key phrase specifies the backup will run unattended and that any actions which normally require user intervention will return an error message.
Example 2 - Online tablespace level backup to a tape device
db2 "backup database sample tablespace (syscatspace,
userspace1) online to /dev/rmt0 without prompting"
This command will produce a backup image of the specified tablespaces within a database. Syscatspace and userspace1 are two of the tablespaces residing in the sample database to be backed up. The tape drive is /dev/rmt0. Since the number of buffers and buff pages is not defined in the command, the default values will be Buffers = 2 and Buffer(size) = 1024 pages. When using tape devices on SCO UNIXware 7, you must specify a buffersize of 16 pages.
The advantage of an online tablespace backup is that all other tablespaces within the database are available for processing. The default is "offline" which requires all applications to be disconnected from the database while the backup is being performed.
After executing these commands you should receive the following message on the DB2 command line:
"Backup successful. The timestamp for this backup image is: timestamp"
The timestamp is a unique identifier for each database backup image and will be needed when you perform a restore if you have more than one backup image in a single folder. On UNIX systems, the timestamp is concatenated to the backup image file name:
On Windows NT systems, the backup image is stored in a 5 level directory tree which also contains the timestamp information:
For information of previously backed-up databases, enter the following command:
db2 "list history backup all for database sample"
Database restore
Before restoring a database, have one of the following authorities on DB2:
If restoring to a new database (not an existing one), SYSADM or SYSCTRL is needed.
An offline database restore will aquire an exclusive connection; so no application should be connected during this task. Also, make sure no other applications are connected to the database when performing an offline restore or you will receive an SQL1035 error message.
Example 1 - Offline restore into an existing database from a local directory
db2 "restore database sample user db2admin using db2admin
from c:\backup taken at 20010222145404 with 3 buffers buffer
1000 without rolling forward without prompting"
This command will restore the database image which is saved at c:\backup with a timestamp of 20010222145404, to the existing sample database (please refer to the database backup section on how to obtain the previously mentioned timestampvalue). This command will effectively overwrite the old sample database files with the backed up database image files. The key phrase "without rolling forward" will keep the database manager from putting the restored database in rollforward pending state (this phrase is not needed if the database was not enabled for rollforward recovery at the time it was backed up). If you are interested in recovering all database files to the point of the last successful transaction and the database was enabled for rollforward recovery at the time it was backed up, leave out the "without rolling forward" key phrase.
If the keyword "from" is not used, the current directory will be the default location of the backup image. Also, the key phrase "taken at timestamp" is not necessary if only one database backup image resides in the target folder.
Example 2 - Online tablespace restore into existing database from a tape device
db2 "restore database sample tablespace (syscatspace,
userspace1) online from /dev/rmt0 taken at 20010222151429 newlogpath
/home/db2v71/samplelogs without prompting"
This command will restore the syscatspace and userspace1 tablespaces to the existing sample database while allowing the uninhibited processing of other tablespaces not involved in the online restore command. Again, the "taken at timestamp" key phrase must be declared if there is more than one backup image in the same folder. The "newlogpath" keyword may be included if the logpath in the backup image is not suitable to be used after the restore. For example, when the path is no longer valid or is currently used by a different database.
Example 3 - Offline restore into a new database on AIX®
db2 "restore database sample from /home/db2v71/backup into
newsamp without prompting"
This command will restore the sample database backup image into the database newsamp. The "newsamp" database will be created by DB2 immediately after the restore command is executed. The backup image will then be restored into the "newsamp" database.
Note: the "taken at timestamp" key phrase is not used if there is only one backup database image in the /home/db2v71/backup directory.
The above command is useful when creating a copy of an existing database. The sample database will remain unaffected by the restore procedure and thus be available to be used in the future. You may also use the same restore command to restore into an existing database. For example, you may have already created the newsamp database before executing the above command.
Note: if you plan to perform this function, the codepage of the database to be restored into must match the codepage of the backed-up database image.
Additional comments: You can restore to an existing remote database if the platform, DB2 version, and edition are the same. Make sure to have the aforementioned authorities on either the local machine or server, depending on which machine is authenticating the user id, to perform the remote restore. In addition, have the database, which is to be restored, catalogued on your local machine in order to perform a remote restore (this is necessary in order to connect to the database being restored).
Rollforward database
Before performing a rollforward on a database, make sure to have one of the following authorities on DB2:
There is no need to connect to the database before performing the rollforward procedure since the command establishes a database connection.
Note: In a multinode environment, this command can only be issued from a catalogued node. Also, if the database is in rollforward pending state and the command is successfully performed, the database manager will take the database out of rollforward pending state.
Example 1 - Offline rollforward database to a point in time
db2 "rollforward database sample user db2admin using
db2admin to 2001-02-22-18.104.22.168422 and stop"
This command will rollforward all logs located in the log folder specified in the database configuration file for Sample up to and including the above stated point-in-time*. The "and stop" key phrase completes the rollforward recovery process by rolling back incomplete transactions and turning off the rollforward pending state of the database.
* The database configuration file contains information regarding the path to the database logfiles. To view this path, enter the following command:
db2 "get database configuration for sample"
Then look for the parm name - logpath. This is the path where the database log files are stored.
Note: When rollforwarding tablespaces to a point-in-time, the tablespaces are placed in backup pending state and will not be useable until a database backup is performed.
Example 2 - Online rollforward tablespace level to end of logs
db2 "rollforward database sample to end of logs and stop
tablespace (userspace1) online"
This command will rollforward all logs located in the log folder specified in the database configuration file for "sample". Only the syscatspace and userspace1 tablespaces will be rolled forward. Since this is an online rollforward, all other tablespaces in the database may be accessed by other applications.
Example 3 - Online tablespace level rollforward on a multinode database
db2 "rollforward database sample to end of logs on nodes
(0,2) and stop tablespace userspace1 online"
This command rollsforward all log files associated with the tablespace userspace1 on nodes 0 and 2. If the "nodes" keyword is not used, DB2 will check all nodes associated with the database. For instance, if the "nodes" keyword is not used in the above command, and node 1 is not ready to be rollforwarded, the command will fail.
Here is a sample output returned to the command line after performing a rollforward:
Rollforward Status Input database alias = sample Number of nodes have returned status = 1 Node number = 0 Rollforward status = not pending Next log file to be read = Log files processed = S0000001.LOG - S0000001.LOG Last committed transaction = 2001-02-26-21.54.54.000000 DB20000I The ROLLFORWARD command completed successfully.
Note: With a tablespace rollforward to a point-in-time, the "node" keyword is not accepted. This is because all database partitions must be rolled forward to ensure that all partitions are at the same level.
As we have seen, there are different ways to perform the backup, restore, and rollforward commands depending on each unique situation. The above commands attempt to provide some basic scenarios, but may not fit the requirements for a particular situation. For more information regarding the use of these commands, please refer to the DB2 Command Reference book. If the command book is not available, visit the DB2 Information Center.

Carlos Tevez faces the possibility of having to return to Manchester City against his wishes, after his proposed £40m move to Corinthians disintegrated because of the financial implications for the Brazilian club.
Tevez is now running out of potential new employers following the official announcement from Corinthians that it was "impossible" for them to conclude what would have been by far the biggest transfer in the history of Brazilian football before Wednesday night's transfer deadline.
"While acknowledging the efforts of Manchester City, and everyone involved in the negotiations, there wasn't enough time for the transfer to be completed," a Corinthians statement said. "We are aware our fans wanted Tevez to join our club again and we hope we can have the player with us in the future"
City had accepted Corinthians' valuation of the player, with another £4m in potential add-ons, but the deal first ran into trouble because they could not agree a payment schedule that was acceptable to both parties.
City had made certain allowances to help facilitate the move, not least lowering their original £50m asking price, but their suspicion over the last few days has been that Corinthians had badly overstretched themselves. The Brazilians' previous transfer record was £9.35m, when they first signed Tevez as a 20-year-old from Boca Juniors in 2004, and they were heavily reliant on sponsorship money to bring the player back to São Paulo. In the end, they were unable even to afford the first payment of £8.7m, asking City if they could delay settling it until next year.
City had been willing to accept four different payments over four years but Corinthians were also unable to provide the bank assurances that the FA Cup winners regarded as fundamental to signing off the deal. In the process, the saga of Tevez's future will drag on once again.
One possibility is that City, negotiating with Atlético Madrid for Sergio Agüero, will offer Tevez to Internazionale in exchange for Wesley Sneijder. That, however, is not something that has got off the ground yet, and instead the collapse of the Corinthians deal leaves Tevez with the other scenario of being required to return to City for the start of the new season and resuming life in Manchester, the city he has openly admitted disliking.
As for Agüero, the chances of that move happening have been strengthened by Atlético's capture of the Deportivo La Coruña striker Adrián López to take the Argentine's place.

Author's notes: A friend told me i should try writing a Katniss x Peeta fic so here is my attempted. Hope you guys enjoy it! (BTW it didnt take me too long to write so it could be completely pants!)
Standing there looking each other in the eye, Katniss and Peeta were unsure of what to do. Should they try killing each other? Neither had a weapon so the task of trying to kill would be harder, and be with more contact. They began to circle never breaking eye contact, before launching at each other. Katniss tried wrapping her hands round his throat but found his strong arms pushing her away, one hand on her shoulder and the other on her stomach. They wrestled like this each trying to get the upper hand for a few minutes before they stopped looking each other directly in the eye. Peeta pulled her sharply towards him, pressing his lips against hers. She struggled against him unsure of what to make of this sudden turn of events. He was too strong for her to fight off as he began to push her backwards. She stumbled a couple of times as she was forced back but his strong hands kept pulling her back upright. Suddenly she felt her back slam into a tree knocking what breath she had out of her. Peeta's face was so close to hers she couldn't do anything but look at it. He grinned at her. No it wasn't a grin, it was a smirk as he let his hand run down the side of her body and over her waist. Shock held her there, preventing her mind from creating a plan to get away. He moved closer leaning his head forwards, kissing her neck roughly. She had to admit he knew what he was doing, it felt amazing. No, she couldn't let him do this. She gasped as his hand found her breast, squeezing hard. Once again she began to struggle against him in an attempt to escape his sexual advances.
"Oh no you don't Katniss! Too long I've waited to have you to myself and I'll be damned if I'm going to let you go!" he growled into her neck before he begun to nip and suck at the tender skin. She gasped as he pressed his hardening crotch to hers. Oh god he was really going to do this. She couldn't help to notice how big he felt pressed against her. The more she squirmed the more it turned him on.
"Please Peeta . . . let me go, don't do this" Katniss tried to reason with him. This earned her an extra hard nip on her bruised neck. Peeta wasn't being gentle with her, he pulled away from her neck and whilst still pinning her to the tree, he tore open her shirt sending buttons flying. She closed her eyes as his expression changed to complete lust. Biting his lip his eyes scanned her hungrily wanting to taste more of her soft skin. Pulling her forwards slightly he slid his hand behind her back and undid her bra in one fluid movement of his hand. With his other hand he pulled off her open shirt and bra exposing her soft naked flesh. She squeezed her eyes closed tight, trying not to think of this horny sex crazed tribute lusting after her.
"Oh yes Katniss very nice, very nice indeed . . . god your body is sexy" he purred as he licked his lips at the sight of her striking figure. Groaning he moved downwards tracing a line down her chest with his tongue. She tried to stifle the pleasurable gasps attempting to escape. He ran his tongue over her breast circling her nipple, nipping and sucking, reeling from the reaction he was getting from her. She involuntary placed her hand on the back of his head, letting his hair run through her fingers. He stopped, standing up straight looking at her now bright red face. Placing his hands on her shoulders he forced her roughly to her knees. She opened her eyes in confusion to find he was undoing the zip of his pants. Before she could react he reached inside pulling his throbbing member out.
"Suck it" he commanded forcing her heads forwards with his hands. She clenched her jaw preventing him from entering her mouth.
"Damn it Katniss, you better do as you're told!" he spat at her, the level of anger rising in his voice. He once again tried to force himself into her mouth. Again she clenched her jaw shooting him a look of disgust. Anger flushed his face as he grabbed her jaw in his hand squeezing hard until she yelped out in pain, tears streaming down her face.
"Are you going to behave now?" he asked in a mocking way. She nodded closing her eyes as more tears flooded her face. Why was he doing this to her? Again she felt him press the head of his cock against her lips and this time she complied, letting him force it deeper into her mouth.
"use your tongue!" he barked at her, as he started thrusting into her mouth. She followed his orders, running her tongue round the huge girth moving back and forth in her mouth. He increased the speed grunting rhythmically. She felt the tip touch the back of the throat causing her to gag. He pulled out of her mouth smirking as she coughed. She could barely catch her breath before he grabbed her swinging her round slamming her to the ground. He began to kiss her body again holding her wrists down to the hard packed earth. This wouldn't do, he needed his hands. Looking around he saw the small pack Katniss had been carrying. He moved kneeling over her pinning her down he reached over to the pack. Rummaging he found what he was hoping would be there. Rope. He flipped her over, grabbing her wrists again forcing them painfully behind her back. Doing this she yelled out in pain begging him to let her go. He laughed loudly.
"Like I'm going to let you go now Katniss, no you're not going anywhere till I'm don't with you" he whispered directly into her ear. She could feel the weight if his muscled chest press her arms agonizingly into her back. Tears pouring down her face as it felt as though her shoulders would pop from their sockets. As he had no means of escape she decided he no longer needed his shirt on, undoing the top couple of buttons he pulled it over his head. His muscles flexed as he tossed it aside stretching his arms. He pulled her up, her back against his chest and snaked his lean arm around her waist running his rough hands over the silken skin of her stomach. As his hand reached the waistline of her trousers he began to undo them. Her eyes widened as realisation of his intension flooded her mind. She began to struggle shouting for him to stop. He used his free hand to tug her braided hair forcing her head back where he whispered maliciously.
"the more you struggle, the more pain I will inflict on you. Get it?"
She felt herself give in; she could win against the sheer power his bulging muscles held. She used to think he was a sweet boy, so gentle and well spoken. Now she saw a whole new side to him, one where he found inflicting pain a turn on. She cried out feeling his hand reach her intermit area. He ran a finger over her soft flesh reeling from the soft moans and whimpers she gave in response. He knew she was enjoying it even if she wouldn't admit it. He let her fall backwards crushing her arms underneath the weight of her own body and begun tugging down her pants. She felt him touch her again this time forcing his thick masculine finger deep inside. He felt her tighten around his finger gasping screwing her eyes closed trying to shut out what he was doing. He increased the pace making her whimpers louder. After a short while he entered a second finger feeling her back arch as pain flooded her. She gave a strangled yelp trying not to let him know of her discomfort. After a few minutes had passed he withdrew from her and began to force her legs further apart. Leaning down he let his tongue slide in between her legs tasting her warmth. She yelped and tried to wiggle away at the touch of his rough tongue exploring.
Peeta needed to act on his urges, he had teased himself enough by giving him little tastes of different parts of her body, now he wanted the main attraction. He moved leaning right over her to look her in the eye. He wanted her to see in his eyes the hunger he had let build up over time. She stared into his eyes, silently pleading with him to stop. A smirk slowly crept upon his lips before he moved back dragging her legs either side of his muscular body. He placed the tip of his cock at her soft, tender entrance, anticipating the feeling of her flesh around his girth. He could stop himself as he forced his way inside feeling her tense up, arching her back letting out a scream as intense pain flooded her very being. He barely heard the chocked out cries from Katniss as he became so self-absorbed in his rhythmic thrusting, grunting at the sensation of her hot wet pussy squeezing his cock. The more his need for her body increased. He upped his pace thrusting deeper and deeper inside of her. He ignored the blood which begun to drip from her he continued to pump losing himself in the tightness, feeling the pleasure rise within him. Oh god she was tight, and the noises she was making drove him crazy. Peeta felt himself getting closer to his release furiously pounding his hips into hers, letting his grunts of pleasure increase in volume. He yelled out as he came deep inside Katniss letting his seed fill her. He stayed in the same position waiting for his heavy breathing to even out. Soft whimpers escaped from Katniss, her tear stained face looking so pathetic. He withdrew from her redressing before he turned her over undoing the ties around her wrists. Looking down on the broken shell of the girl, he turned and walked away into the forest, back into the games.

Basically, I used to use all kinds of conditioner and I would lose a lot of hair, but I just thought that was normal so I never paid any mind to it. Then I switched to a conditioner from Lush cosmetics and I barely had any hair fall out. But I recently ran out of that conditioner so I started using whatever conditioner I had left and a lot of my hair has been falling out now. Could the conditioner be the culprit as to why I'm losing more hair than I did when I used Lush?

I actually came across the opposite lol. I used some Arabian shampoo brand while I was living in Saudi, and it seemed to stop progressive baldness. Sadly in the US I can't get a hold of it, but in any case it's slowed down and I still have a full head of hair.
I don't know about your brand, never came across anything in the news.00|00|0

Surviving Hurricanes
Comparing and Contrasting 3 heroes
These 3 heroes have a lot of similarities and differences. Ariel, Matt, and Deamonte' are 3 children changed peoples lives. 2 of them were recognized for their behavior. The 2 recognized were Ariel and Deamonte'. Yes, Matt, 16, saved peoples lives during the hurricane but he was only recognized from his community.He tried to use sandbagto prevent the water from flooding in right before the hurricane got there. His family and he went to a neighbors house while the hurricane was occuring. During the trip over there Matt saved a grandma's life and went back for her 2 dogs. Deamonte', 6, had taken care of 6 other children. 4 of them being his family. He survived Hurricane Katrina, while the other 2 survived Hurricane Sandy. Deamonte' wasn't able to see his parents until 10 and counting days later. Ariel, 14, started her own community called Silver Lining. She was recognized by the president. She left Rockaway and went to Chicago just before the hurricane came. Matt and Ariel were both in Rockaway. They both live by an ocean. Deamonte' and Matt were without and food for days. They were the oldest out of the children there. These are several simliarities and differences between the 3 characters.

At 23st I was desperate to be a mum, but one big fat problem was holding me back. So, I decided to do something about it…
By Macey Jones, 29, from Bristol
I grabbed a packet of crisps and settled down on the sofa to watch TV. I demolished the packet in seconds and before I knew it, I was reaching for another pack.
This wasn't exactly unusual – I was addicted to the savoury snacks and scoffed around six bag of crisps a day.
I absolutely loved my food and a typical day would start with a pack of biscuits or a McDonald's for breakfast, followed by a pasty and a cream cake for lunch.
On top of this, I would order a massive doner kebab, complete with chips and all the trimmings, almost every night.
I would wash all this down with a few pints of full-fat coke and demolish a huge slab of cake and ice cream for dessert. If I got peckish later on, I would snack on an entire family-sized bar of chocolate.
So it wasn't surprising when my weight crept up to a massive 23st 7lbs and I ballooned to a size 24.
The only exercise I got was walking to and from the bus stop, or walking around the aisles in ASDA.
Clothes shopping was a chore as I could never get anything to fit me – so eventually I avoided going to the shops altogether.
My weight started causing me health problems, like polycystic ovary syndrome and bad joints, and I became withdrawn and depressed.
I had absolutely no confidence and stayed in where I knew I couldn't be stared and pointed at. It was a vicious cycle – the worse I felt about my weight, the more I ate to make myself feel better.
I had tried a few diets before, but after a few days I often caved in to the sugary treats and junk food that I loved so much.
'I'll just start again on Monday,' I told myself – but time and time again, my willpower failed me and I gave up.
But there was one thing I wanted more than anything – something that I knew would make me happy – a baby.
I had always longed to be a mother, and imagined myself with a family to call my own.
I was with my former partner, Iquball, for two and a half years, and during that time I had suffered four heartbreaking miscarriages.
Our relationship suffered from the strain and we eventually broke up in November 2011.
After the break up, I couldn't shake my desire to have a family, and I wondered if it would ever happen for me.
Desperate for answers, I went to the doctor for advice – and that's when he dropped the bombshell: I was too fat for a baby.
'Macey, are you aware that you're actually clinically obese?' he said, after running some tests. 'That is why you haven't had any luck having a baby. If you lost weight then your PCOS would probably ease and you would have a far better chance of conceiving.
'Carrying on like this will make it impossible for you to have a baby. You're also eating yourself into an early grave.'
Hearing his blunt words really hit home and made tears sting my eyes. But I knew the pain of not becoming a mother one day would be far worse.
I silently vowed to make a change. Otherwise, I risked having more miscarriages.
So a few weeks later, in September 2012, I woke up one morning more determined than ever to change my lifestyle.
I sat down at my kitchen table and wrote myself a diet plan. I planned every single meal and went straight to the supermarket to cram my fridge full of healthy salads and lean meat.
I started by eating a healthy bowl of porridge for breakfast, and swapping my usual bakery lunch for a jacket potato with tuna or beans.
Dinner was grilled chicken or fish with vegetables and I swapped my sugary fizzy drinks for water.
I started walking everywhere too. At first it was a real struggle after so many years of hardly moving at all, and after just five minutes I couldn't catch my breath.
But I persevered and pushed myself a little bit further every day. I vowed to keep at it and not weigh myself at all until a year had passed.
So in September 2013, I stepped on the scales and almost cried with joy – I'd lost a whopping 10 stone 7lbs! I couldn't believe it, I had dropped from a size 24 to a slinky size 12.
Weighing in at just 13 stone, I'd never felt better, and my doctor was impressed too.
'Your PCOS has disappeared!' he said. 'You've done brilliantly.' I was delighted.
People often did a double take when they saw me, power walking down the street – friends who had known me for years couldn't believe the change in me..
Things were looking up for me where my love life was concerned too. Five months earlier, in April 2013, I'd got together with Jason, 41, after meeting through mutual friends.
We got on brilliantly and pretty quickly, I found myself falling head over heels for him. Jason was completely different to any of the men I had been in relationships with before.
He was charming and kind and supported me wholeheartedly in my slimming mission, cooking me healthy meals and joining me for my brisk walks.
As we'd got together halfway through my weight loss journey I knew Jason loved me for who I was. I was sure I had landed on my feet with him – and in time I confided in him about my desire to have a family.
Luckily for me, Jason wanted a family too, and as soon as I reached my target weight we decided to start trying for a baby.
Then in February 2014, I discovered I was pregnant. I was thrilled – it was the cherry on the cake after all my hard work. All of my dreams were coming true.
I was on tenterhooks throughout the pregnancy, but I needn't have worried. As my bump grew, Jason and I became more and more excited at the idea of becoming parents.
Our little bundle of joy, Jordyn, was born in December last year. Setting eyes on him was the best Christmas present I could have ever hoped for. He weighed 8lbs 1oz and my labour was only 19 minutes long!
'Mummy had to work very hard to bring you into the world!' I joked as I held him for the first time. My heart swelled with pride when I looked into his eyes. I hadn't dared to imagine that this moment would ever happen to me.
I don't think I have ever felt as grateful as I did when Jason and I spent our first Christmas with our beautiful son.
Being a mother is all I've ever dreamed of – and I'm so thrilled to finally have the family I've always craved.
Jordyn is now one and he has a happy and healthy mummy to take care of him.
My PCOS has disappeared and I love being a mum to my gorgeous little boy. Being lighter on my feet certainly has it's advantages when I'm running around after him all day!
Jason and I would love to have another child in the future, but for now we are happy to focus on Jordyn.
I often think back to the day that the doctor told me that I had fat chance of becoming a mum, but it was just the kick I needed to lose the weight and change my life completely.
I lost 10 stone, to gain 8lbs of pure joy – and it was the best thing I ever did.

Assuming the person has a great personality & you like them. You find out he or she is a virgin. Would you date them?
- YesVote A
- NoVote B
Most Helpful Guy
Being a virgin wouldn't stop me from dating her, but depending on how old she was and whether she'd had past relationships (and how long they'd lasted) I might be concerned that we might not be compatible sexually. It depends if she's just someone who happens to be a virgin or whether she's someone that wants to be a virgin and isn't that keen on the idea of sex.
If I was dating a virgin I wouldn't mind waiting (within reason) for her to be ready, especially she could show affection in other ways earlier. (Cuddling, kissing and that type of thing.)00|00|0

As you arrive, keep going foreward through town (A.K.A. Go 3 areas north) untill you're in the Palace Gates. There you'll find Aladdin. As you're about to leave him he'll call you back for help. He wants you to find Jasmine. To find her, go one area south and one area west. You'll find out she's captive by Jafar. FIGHT! This battle is so easy you can just count him as an enemy. After that, take her to the area you arrived at, so she can see Aladdin. But Jafar will freeze everything and Iago will nab Aladdin's lamp. Oh, wait... D'oh! That's inapropriate!
Forget I said that. You have to find and talk to Iago 3 times, but I can't help you now, because Iago goes Randomly through the areas. Once you do that, the Genie will come out and take you to Jafar. Once arriving, Jafar will close the mouth of the cave, and you'll have to go through the System Sector east of the cave. After that, go inside the cave. Head foreward all the way slayin' Heartless and avoiding traps untill you get to a waterfall made of sand. You could simply run through it, but that would be too booring. Run back untill you find the System Sector, halfway across the room. After that the waterfall will diseapear, leading into the next room.

That they should be given a test to take an animal home? Nowadays I see it so often that animals are adopted from shelters or puppy mills or breeders and end up in a shelter because of 'issues' while it's really because the owner didn't raise/train them well.
Do you think they should be given a test for the animals needs?
for example, if they want a dog, depending on age they are given a test of basic psychology and raising?

Any and all instances when people gain a responsibility over another life - newly born child, adopted child, adopted pet and etc, there should be some basic examination conducted of them.11|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I definitely think people and organizations should be aware of the kind of home the animal is going to before letting them go home with someone, although it is sometimes hard to do. I've seen bad things happen especially with horses in which they end up being neglected because the owners can no longer afford to feed/care them but choose to keep them anyway (I hate these people), they end up with someone who has no idea how to handle or care for them, or someone who isn't a good match for their experience level, or they end up being flipped to a sale barn or resold for profit (I also hate these people).
All of my animals are with me for the rest of their lives unless I am ever in a dire situation in which I can no longer afford to feed them or provide the care they need, or if something happens to me. Luckily, I have family that would take them in either of those cases. However, if I ever did have to rehome them, they would not go to just anyone. If at all possible, I would donate my horses to a therapy program since they are very docile and I know they would be cared for and probably retired out there for the remainder of their lives, and I would try to rehome my cats to family or friends that I could trust. Sadly, you don't always have that option though and there's only so much a contract or background check can do.
I think the test idea is great though.11|00|0

We live in an age of rapid environmental change, much of it driven by human caused modifications to the environment. How should we respond to these changes? Are there ways to better manage our environment for our benefit and the benefit of other species?
Forestry (no longer a field mostly concerned with producing lumber) and environmental management are two areas that focus on those issues. Knox, in cooperation with Duke University, offers programs in forestry and in environmental management. After three years at Knox and two years at Duke, students receive both a bachelor of arts degree from Knox and either a master of forestry or a master of environmental management from Duke.
Prior to starting study at the cooperating institution, a Knox student must:
In addition to these general Knox requirements for participation in a cooperative program, Duke requires course preparation in the sciences, mathematics, and economics. Students interested in this program should contact program advisor Stuart Allison early to plan courses.

This photo was taken around 1973 in Hawaii. Schwarzenegger was friends with Hawaiian gym owner and bodybuilding contest promoter Mits Kawashima. In 1968 a promoter brought Arnold Schwarzenegger to Hawaii as a guest poser and ended up leaving early and stranding Arnold. Mits and his wife Dot ended up taking Arnold out to dinner, loaned him their car, and let him lift at their gym long enough until he could arrange getting back to California. The couple and Arnold ended up being friends and business partners, co-producing bodybuilding contests in Hawaii for around 30 years. Mits died in 2012 at the age of 93 in Hawaii. One of Hawaii's bodybuilding pioneers, he opened one Hawaii's first gyms in 1948 and had worked with other legends including John Grimek, Larry Scott, and Sergio Oliva.

Challenge Invent a highly configurable Valve Control Unit (VCU) to enable accurate engine valve timing in different Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) applications.
Technologies Controls and Electronics
Competencies Testing and Validation, Engineering Process, Design and Analysis
Results Lower cost and high quality for high-reliabilty production applications.
For over 15 years, JVS Engineering has been making Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) systems with a sophisticated electronic controller—the Valve Control Unit (VCU). Engine OEMs use VVA technology to optimize engine performance, fuel economy, and engine emissions. Final production systems are highly customized for cost based on each engine maker's specific requirements, but for quickly introducing VVA technology into a development program, a more configurable VCU was required.
The challenge facing JVS Engineering was to design a single, highly configurable VCU that could be used by all OEM's designing VVA technology.
VVA requires accurate control of engine intake and exhaust valves, which in turn requires an electronic controller with the capability to drive high-speed, high-current solenoids. Environmental issues such as electromagnetic interference, or the high temperature, humidity, and vibration in an engine compartment, also drove some of the VCU requirements.
The VCU was designed concurrently with the mechanical system to provide significant valve control flexibility. Using a state-of-the-art microprocessor with a dedicated interface for engine timing signals, JVS software engineers developed algorithms that achieve a high level of valve-control accuracy by dynamically calculating timing offsets based on cycle-to-cycle engine conditions.
The VCU can produce valve timings in response to data from the Engine Control Unit (ECU) via the industry-standard CAN bus and is reconfigurable in real time. It can also function autonomously (without signals from the ECU) such as when performing system functional testing to confirm the operation of a complete cylinder head on a test rig.
Supporting the valve control algorithms, JVS electronics engineers designed a flexible, rugged solenoid-valve driver that can be configured by the microprocessor to virtually any imaginable drive scheme so that the highest speed valve operation can be achieved. Configurable also to a wide range of current outputs, this driver is highly fault-tolerant. With six high-speed valve drivers, each VCU can be configured for 4- and 6-valve applications; up to four VCUs can be used in an engine to control up to 24 valves.
Delivered to a variety of customers, VVA development is now worldwide. In each new application, the flexibility and robustness of the system is again demonstrated. Meanwhile, JVS engineers are using this configurable VCU plus newer technologies as the baseline for optimized VCUs for production applications.
Leveraging our knowledge base with advances in technology to achieve simultaneously lower cost and high quality for high-reliability production applications is just another thing that JVS engineers know how to do.

text: Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Fortune Industries, Inc. ("Fortune" or "Fortune Industries") (NYSE Amex: FFI) related to a management buyout transaction with CEP, Inc., a holding company owned by a management-led group including Fortune Industries CEO Tena Mayberry and CFO Randy Butler. Under the terms of the buyout, Carter M. Fortune, the current majority shareholder and chairman of Fortune Industries, will sell all of his Series C Preferred shares to CEP, which will then be converted to common stock and contributed to CEP. Fortune Industries shareholders who own 501 or more shares will receive an equivalent number of shares in the post-merger company, while shareholders with less than 500 shares will receive $0.61 per share, well below Fortune Industries' 52-week trading high of $0.90 per share. If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, contact Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at email@example.com, or Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 706-9314, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. There is no cost or fee to you. According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, "The investigation relates to the fairness of the proposed transaction to Fortune Industries shareholders and whether the board of directors is adequately shopping the company in order to obtain the best possible price for the shareholders. In addition, the firms are actively investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Fortune Industries in connection with the potential approval of this transaction, and whether Fortune Industries' Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders' best interests."
