Obama seeking help on START
President Barack Obama is looking for help from former Secretary of State Colin Powell to jump start the short-circuited nuclear treaty with the Russians. Powell, a retired four-star Army general and former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, said, "We're not exactly sure what's going on in the Russian Federation, and they're not exactly sure what's going on in the United States." The START treaty would reduce how many strategic warheads the United States and Russia could hold and set up a system so each could inspect and verify the other's arsenal.

Showdown plays out in Brazil
Brazilian police showed off piles of drugs and weapons seized during an aggressive takeover of two of this city's most dangerous slums, even as the search continued Tuesday in homes and even sewers for their real target: the drug gang leaders themselves. According to the Associated Press, police conceded that many of the up to 600 drug gang members believed to have been hiding in Vila Cruzeiro and the neighboring Alemao complex of slums may have escaped. The hunt for those that got away extended Tuesday into Rio's maze of storm sewers. The tally for a week of gang attacks and police raids included 124 arrested, 148 detained and 51 dead, authorities said in a statement released Tuesday.

Iranian Paranoia
The Wikileaks documents presents more evidence that Iran is becoming increasingly more isolated not just because of the sanctions aimed strangling it's nuclear pursuits, but diplomatically too. The crown prince of the United Arab Emirates said in one of the cables, "Iran would obtain a nuclear weapon unless the regime could be 'split from inside' before nuclear capability was achieved." That same documented pointed out as well that Iran has a major fear of improving relations with the U.S. because it would threaten the government's control over the country.

NATO preparing to hand over security in Afghanistan
Even though senior NATO and Pentagon officials have expressed doubt that Afghan forces will be ready to take over security for the country in 2014, NATO leaders say thery will move ahead with step one of the plan to do just that. Britan, Canada and other allied countries say they do not want to be in a combat role in 2014 and are beginning to phase out their troops. The U.S. says it will begin it's withdrawal from Afghanistan next year.

Is Iraq on the brink?
How will the U.S withdrawal from Iraq next year affect security there? Colin Kahl, deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee security remains strong and the pullout at the end of 2011 will not ignite a dramatic increase in violence. Al Qaida, while successful in pulling of several high profile attacks in recent weeks, killing hundreds has not succeeded in ingniting widespread sectarian violence.

Bolivia Flexes at U.S.
A very curt message for Defense Secretary Robert Gates yesterday. Bolivian President Evo Morales said Latin American nations will pick their own friends and business partners, including Iran, regardless of U.S. opinion. The remarks came during a welcome ceremony for delegates at a regional defense conference Morales never mentioned Gates. But observers say most of the speech, and all of the applause lines, obviously aimed at Gates.

Commission seeks assesment of Chinese military capabilities
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a congressional advisory commission says in its annual report that lawmakers should require a Pentagon assessment of the military's capacity to withstand a Chinese air and missile assault on American regional bases and the implications of a similar assault on Taiwan's air defenses. The commission was set up by Congress in 2000 to advise, investigate and report on U.S.-China affairs.

Canada to stay in Afghanistan until 2014
Canada confirmed Tuesday that 950 soldiers and support staff will remain in Afghanistan in a training role after Canada's combat mission ends in 2011. Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said they will be stationed in the Kabul area and will stay until 2014. The pledge of support may help plug a critical shortage of trainers for NATO's year-old mission to bolster Afghan security forces. The training mission would be confined to military bases.

Drug traffickers buy long range planes
It's the latest innovation by international drug traffickers. U.S. prosecutors say South American gangs are buying old jets and other planes, filling them with cocaine and flying them more than 3,000 miles across the ocean to Africa. At least three gangs have struck deals to fly drugs to West Africa and from there to Europe, according to U.S. indictments. Most of the cocaine flown to Africa is bound for Europe, where demand has been rising over the last decade.

The search is on to figure out how small traces of herbicides made their way into compost from Green Mountain Compost in Williston.
"Our investigation's not finding any misuse that has occurred in Vermont, so it is not like anybody did anything wrong," said Cary Giguere, the pesticide program chief with Vermont's Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets.
The team at Vermont's Agency of Agriculture is involved in the effort. It's looking at the yard and food waste and manure that make up the mix.
The compost has been used by roughly 500 homeowners across the state, who have seen their plants wilt and produce smaller crops.
"Our trace back investigation is now focusing on what's coming into the state, whether it's horse bedding, hay or small grains," Giguere said.
Early tests show 5 to 10 parts per billion of the herbicide Picloram in some compost samples. To put that into perspective, experts say 500 parts per billion of the same substance are deemed safe for consumption in drinking water.
"The problem is because at these very low levels they still cause harm to plants," Giguere said.
Thomas Moreau is the general manager of the Chittenden Solid Waste District and oversees compost production at Green Mountain Compost. He says the way the compost is being processed at the new Williston plant could be contributing to the problem.
"Before we used just atmosphere air trying to defuse itself into the pile, now we're really actively blowing air into it so it gets much hotter much faster for a longer period of time," Moreau said.
Right now scientists are trying to figure out if the increased exposure to heat during the composting process is releasing the previously undetected herbicides from plant tissues.
"We feel that these herbicides were always here, but for some reason the new process has made them unsequestered, made them more available," Moreau said.
The Ag department says gardeners don't need to worry about the exposure, but getting to the heart of the problem will be good for their gardens.
"The reason they have not been banned yet as a class of chemicals is because there are relatively nontoxic to humans," Giguere said.
The Chittenden Solid Waste District has already spent $30,000 to have compost samples tested to pinpoint the contaminants and how they made their way into the mix.
The Chittenden Solid Waste District released its September newsletter Tuesday, acknowledging that it is continuing to work with the EPA and herbicide producers to solve the problem and prevent future ones.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Description of the National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (N-SSATS)
This report presents tabular information and high-lights from the 2004 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), conducted between March and October 2004, with a reference date of March 31, 2004. It is the 27th in a series of national surveys begun in the 1970s designed to collect data on the location, characteristics, and utilization of alcohol and drug treatment facilities and services throughout the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. jurisdictions.1 The Office of Applied Studies, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, plans and directs N-SSATS.
N-SSATS is designed to collect information from all facilities2 in the United States, both public and private, that provide substance abuse treatment. (Additional information on N-SSATS, its history, and changes in the survey and survey universe over time is provided in Appendix C.)
N-SSATS provides the mechanism for quantifying the dynamic character and composition of the U.S. substance abuse treatment delivery system. The objectives of N-SSATS are to collect multipurpose data that can be used to—
Data Collection Procedures for the 2004 N-SSATS
Field period and reference date
The field period for the 2004 N-SSATS ran from March 31, 2004 through October 1, 2004, with a reference date of March 31, 2004.
Survey coverage
The 2004 N-SSATS facility universe included all 16,651 active treatment facilities on SAMHSA's I-SATS at a point 6 weeks prior to the survey reference date. Facilities added by State substance abuse agencies or discovered during the first 3 weeks of the survey were also included in the survey universe.
The 2004 N-SSATS survey instrument was a 10-page document with 37 numbered questions. (See Appendix A.) Topics included:
Data collection
Six weeks before the survey, letters were mailed to all
facilities to alert them to expect the survey. An additional benefit of the
letters was to update records with new address information returned from the
post office. On the survey reference date, data collection packets, including
the questionnaire, SAMHSA cover letter, State-specific letter of endorsement,
information on completing the survey on the Internet, and a sheet of
Frequently Asked Questions, were mailed to each facility. During the data
collection phase, contract personnel were available to answer facilities'
questions concerning the survey. Support in responding to questions for those
facilities completing the questionnaire over the Internet was also available.
Four to 5 weeks after the initial questionnaire mailing, thank you/reminder
letters were sent to all facilities. Approximately 8 weeks after the initial
questionnaire mailing, non-
responding facilities were sent a second questionnaire mailing. About 4 to 5 weeks after the second questionnaire mailing, non-respondents received a reminder telephone call. Those facilities that had not responded within 2 to 3 weeks of the reminder call were telephoned and asked to complete the survey by telephone. The overall response rate was 96 percent.
Forms accounting and response rate
Summary response rate information is presented in Table 1.1. Questionnaires were mailed to a total of 16,651 facilities believed to offer substance abuse treatment services. Of these facilities, 11 percent were found to be ineligible for the survey because they had closed or did not provide substance abuse treatment or detoxification on March 31, 2004. Of the remaining 14,779 facilities, 96 percent completed the survey.

SOURCE: Office of Applied Studies, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), 2004.
Of the 14,167 survey respondents, 390 facilities provided information but were deemed out of the scope of this report and were excluded from the analyses presented here. The excluded facilities fell into three categories:
An additional 323 facilities whose client counts were included in or "rolled into" other facilities' counts and whose facility characteristics were not reported separately were also excluded from facility counts in this report. However, their client counts are included.
After allowing for the exclusion of 390 out-of-scope facilities and 323 rolled-up facilities, 13,454 eligible respondent facilities were included in the 2004 N-SSATS report.
Number of respondents reporting facility and client data
Table 1.2. There were a total of 13,454 eligible respondents to the 2004 N-SSATS. The breakdown of these respondents with respect to their reporting of facility data and client counts is summarized below.

Quality assurance
All mail questionnaires were reviewed manually for consistency and for missing data. After data entry, automated quality assurance reviews were conducted. These incorporated the rules used in manual editing, plus consistency checks and checks for data outliers not readily implemented by manual review. Calls were made to facilities to clarify questionable responses and to obtain missing data.
If facilities could not be reached during the edit callbacks, responses that were clearly in error were replaced by imputation.
The Internet questionnaire was programmed to be self-editing; that is, respondents were prompted to complete missing responses and to confirm or correct inconsistent responses.
Item non-response
Careful editing and extensive follow-up have minimized item non-response. (See Appendix B.) Although there were instances of non-response in most data items, item non-response was generally low, between less than 1 percent and 2 percent for most items. An exception was the question on payment types accepted by the facility, where non-response rates ranged as high as 12 percent for the various response categories.
Missing data for client count variables (e.g., the number of clients in hospital inpatient, non-hospital residential, and outpatient treatment) were imputed. For the remaining unimputed variables, facilities with missing values for a given variable were excluded from the tabulations using that variable. As a result, the number of treatment facilities on which tables are based may vary somewhat from table to table. The number of facilities actually reporting data is generally included on each table.
Methodology of Imputation of Missing Client Counts
A total of 89 facilities were missing one-day census client count values for one or more types of service (i.e., hospital inpatient detoxification, hospital inpatient treatment, non-hospital residential detoxification, etc.). A facility was given imputed values for a type of service if it reported that it provided the service but had not provided client counts for that service type. For example, if a facility reported that it provided hospital inpatient services and outpatient services, but not non-hospital residential services, client values were imputed for the hospital inpatient and outpatient variables only. Missing values for the number of clients under age 18 and the number of hospital inpatient beds and/or non-hospital residential beds were not imputed.
When available, client values from the 2003 N-SSATS were used to impute the missing client counts on the 2004 N-SSATS. In all other cases, the average client value, stratified by State and facility operation, was used to impute the missing client counts. If a facility were unique in its State and facility operation category, values were imputed using average values for the State only. Client counts were imputed for each type of service (i.e., hospital inpatient detoxification, hospital inpatient treatment, non-hospital residential detoxification, etc.) and summed to the larger service type totals (total hospital inpatient clients, total non-hospital residential clients, and total outpatient clients), and finally to total clients.
Further Data Considerations and Limitations
As with any data collection effort, certain procedural considerations and data limitations must be taken into account when interpreting data from the 2004 N-SSATS. Some general issues are listed below, and other considerations are detailed in Appendix C. Considerations and limitations of specific data items are discussed where the data are presented.
Organization of the Report
The balance of this report is organized into five analytic
sections. Chapter 2 presents broad trends in facility characteristics for 1998
to 2004.
Chapter 3 presents broad trends in client characteristics for 1998 to 2004. Chapter 4 describes key characteristics of facilities and the programs and services they provide. Chapter 5 describes key characteristics of clients in substance abuse treatment on March 31, 2004. Finally, Chapter 6 presents State-level detail for most of the tables presented in Chapters 4 and 5.
The majority of tables in the report are organized according to facility operation and the primary focus of the facility, and present data on the characteristics of facilities and clients in treatment at these facilities. Therefore, it is important to define these terms.
Facility operation indicates the type of entity responsible for the operation of the facility: private for-profit; private non-profit; or government—local, county, or community; State; Federal; or tribal.
Primary focus indicates the services the facility primarily provides: substance abuse treatment services; mental health services; a mix of mental health and substance abuse treatment services; general health care; or other.
Clients in treatment were defined as: 1) hospital inpatient and non-hospital residential clients receiving substance abuse services at the facility on March 31, 2004; and 2) outpatient clients who were seen at the facility for a substance abuse treatment or detoxification service at least once during the month of March 2004, and who were still enrolled in treatment as of March 31, 2004.

I've been told it's terrible.... Here goes.
Hi my name is Awesome Sauce, Nice to meet you, how' you doing?
I thought I'd tell you a story, one of pain and suffering,
But also about survival, endurance, perseverance and dignity,
It's not just my story, It can be yours too, it can represent everyone equally.
I wasn't so popular in school, in fact I was always the butt of the joke,
For some reason it was funny to make everything my fault,
I just tried to be nice, friendly and fun, that's all I ever did,
But I was made to feel like I was a misfit, an outcast kid.
Despite that, I got through school, got decent grades, mostly C's and some B's,
At the time all I could think about was how I was finally free,
But looking back on it now, I really miss those years,
The careless days, lunchtime, good times with the cool teachers.
Nobody really wants responsibilities, they're just thrust upon you after school,
And at first nobody really knows what to do, at the time you're just a young fool,
I went straight into Art College at sixteen years of age, I regret it today,
I should've gone into Sixth Form, got some A Levels, Qualifications to pave the way.
Instead I enrolled in a course in Graphic Design, I thought I knew what I wanted,
I had a dream that I hadn't really thought about, never really used my head,
Took a year for me to realise I wasn't doing what I should've been,
And today all I can think of is the many possibilities of what I could've been.
I dropped to a simpler course to begin with, I thought I could salvage something,
But even that was crap, the tutors never really let you spread your wings,
Eventually I just dropped out completely and started looking for employment,
It's not easy, I was on JobSeekers Allowance for months and it was torment.
Living at home and my mother takes most of my money, living on pence,
Couldn't really afford anything, and employers live in ignorance,
"Sure we'll take your C.V. But we won't read it, we'll just file it away,"
It can drive you totally batshit insane waiting for replies every day.
I started drinking at seventeen, some navy bloke bought me a drink,
From then it got worse, I began to use it as an escape into which I would sink,
Only recently have I quit drinking, went T-Total last September,
I haven't looked back, I get tempted sometimes, but I've never felt better.
I've had a few jobs, only one really matters, worked in Currys for two years,
DSGi, an evil corporation, only out to make profit with no other cares,
They would say that the customer comes first but always contradict,
Their ideals and ideas are old fashioned and quite frankly make me sick.
In November 2007, I was very stressed and angry, I made a video on Youtube,
It was a stupid thing to do but I couldn't shake the attitude,
I insulted my boss, and the company, in a very volatile manner,
Someone tipped off my boss and upon me a suspension did hammer.
A month passed by, during this time they were apparently investigating,
What there was to investigate was not much at all, One video of me ranting,
They finally called me in to have a disciplinary hearing eventually,
The person conducting the hearing had already made his decision, clearly.
So now I'm unemployed again, looking for work, still haven't got my P45,
But it's ok, I'm still fighting, I'm still here and I'm still alive,
And now I've reached the point of this rhyme, the reason I'm writing this,
Through everything life has thrown at me, I'm still standing above all the piss.
I believe that people need to be strong, and give life a big fuck you,
No matter what obsticles may appear, just blast your way through,
You are not life's puppet, don't let your life control you,
Take the reigns and make it suck your cock if you have to.
Keep your head up high, walk tall, and make sure to smile,
Try not to let anything in life get you too down, it's really not worthwhile,
The past is the past and you can't change it,
Isn't it all really just a bunch of historic bullshit?
Live for tomorrow, look forwards, the future is yours,
Be prepared and energetic, so you can ride it, get life on all fours,
My final advice to you, you should really listen to which,
Punch through your strife, be strong and happy, because life is your bitch.
- Jason Michael Fisher
After putting that here and reading it again I'm somewhat ashamed of it.
"Because there's no such thing as rock stars, there's just people who play music, and some of them are just like us, and some of them are dicks." - Frank Turner Singer/Songwriter

Carney | December 20, 2012 | 12:00 am Last night, the New York Knicks handily dispatched the Brooklyn Nets, which helped make my night. Yes, I'm a Knicks fan. Yes, the Nets are a local rival. But the Nets have particularly earned my disdain. For me, they symbolize corporate welfare and crony capitalism. The Nets moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn this year. The move involved eminent domain, politically connected developers,... Web URL: http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2516543 Share this article on Facebook or Twitter Print this article

Oaklawn Park: Rose to Gold targets Fantasy Stakes
Rose to Gold, who picked off the second Grade 3 win of her career in the Honeybee at Oaklawn last Saturday, could make her next start in the Grade 3, $400,000 Fantasy here April 10, trainer Sal Santoro said. Her ultimate goal remains the Kentucky Oaks.
"The basic plan right now is to run in the Fantasy," Santoro said. "We've got 64 points and almost $500,000 in the bank, so I think she's pretty much guaranteed a berth in the Oaks. The only reservation I have is that between the Fantasy and the Oaks it's only 23 days, and within that 23 days it's going to involve shipping her to Churchill Downs.
"I originally thought about taking her back to Calder and training her up to the [Oaks], but then when I started thinking about doing that, I started thinking about the drastic weather change. So, we've pretty much decided that we're going to stay here and we're going to train with the intention of running in the Fantasy. As we get closer to the race, we'll make a final decision. Rose will tell me if she wants to run. The signs with her are pretty straightforward. If she's up to it, then we'll go ahead and run her, then take it real easy with her between the Fantasy and the Oaks."
Calvin Borel rode Rose to Gold for the first time in the Honeybee. She led throughout and earned a career-high Beyer of 97. Earlier in her career, Rose to Gold won the Grade 3, $500,000 Delta Downs Princess.

Kevin Pietersen recalled by England for India A tour match
Kevin Pietersen's "reintegration" into the England side is set to be completed when he faces India A this week.
Pietersen, 32, was dropped in August for sending "provocative" text messages to South Africa players.
Left out of the India tour party, he was recalled after meeting with coach Andy Flower and senior players.
He plays in England's opening tour match, which starts on Tuesday, when Nick Compton is set to open the batting with captain Alastair Cook.
Compton will be preferred at the top of the order to fellow uncapped batsman Joe Root of Yorkshire.
"He is down to play and will be batting at four," Flower said of Pietersen.
The three-day match in Mumbai will be Pietersen's first for England since he made a brilliant 149 in the second Test against South Africa at Headingley in early August.
Cook said: "He's desperate to get going and we are desperate to have him back in the team.
"As I have always said, it's great to have world-class players in our team and, if we want to play the standard of cricket we know we are capable of, we will have to have our best players.
"As a senior batter, he is there to get runs and, off the field, to pass on his experience to the rest of the lads.
"He has played a huge amount of cricket, some 90 Test matches, and he has experience of sub-continent cricket with the IPL [Indian Premier League].
"That experience is valuable to us if we are going to get used to the conditions as quickly as we can."
Pietersen was omitted from England's squad for the defence of their World Twenty20 as discussions were held over his future.

Pietersen apologised to then captain Andrew Strauss, and Cook welcomed his return after the right-hander agreed a new four-month contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board and was added to the tour party.
Flower said he saw no reason why Pietersen's short-term contract would not be extended to 12 months.
"I hadn't actually thought much about the extension of his contract," he said. "We're here focusing on playing well in India; I don't envisage a problem.
"We've had some great success and some great times together over the last few years.
"I think we can work very well together in the future and we've already started that process."
Flower said he was confident Pietersen would return to his best for England.
"It takes a little while to get back into your rhythm and top form, but he's an amazing cricketer," he said.
"I'm looking forward to him being involved. We had a long chat this morning, we've had a number of chats on the phone and of course he flew back to England just recently. I think we'll work well together."
Pietersen joined the squad in India on Sunday from South Africa, where he had been playing for IPL side Delhi Daredevils in the T20 Champions League.
Upon the team's arrival in India on Monday, England announced that Twenty20 skipper Stuart Broad had been promoted to Test vice-captain for the tour.
The first match of the four-game Test series starts in Ahmedabad on 15 November.

This England cricket team, as with previous English cricket teams, comes to India in a very negative frame of mind.
The London Sunday Times reported on 28th October, tours to India are "Hell". The Indian cricketers should show the England team what Hell is really like by thrashing them in all the matches.

App is great, it even has a night mode. Better than similar paid apps!
(66 stars)
And it will be five star if this app can automatic turn on wifi by remembered access point
(66 stars)
Does exactly what's expected, and unlike so many of those apps turning off wifi, it actually propose a solution to turning it back ON. Might be a little less battery-saving, but much appreciable nonetheless.

I've tried a few similiar apps and this one works very well on a HTC mytouch 4G slide.

Only app like it that actually works, so happy

Excellent job. Sorry it is not well known. Much better than even paid packages.

Outsiders Looking in at the Republican National Convention 2012
In spite of all the rhetoric coming from Chief of Police Jane Castor in the days before the RNC about reserving extra jail space for the thousands they expected to arrest, as of Wednesday morning only three protestors had been arrested: one for wearing a mask, and another two who started a fight with each other at Romneyville.

Here's this afternoon's pertinent news and notes…
Justin Turner to DL, Scott Atchison activated, Wheeler loophole:
Prior to today's game, the Mets placed Justin Turner on the disabled list with an intercostal strain and activated reliever Scott Atchison from the disabled list. Atchison, 37, had been on the disabled list with numbness in his fingers that stemmed from an existing elbow injury. While Atchison is back, his health is a touch and go situation.
For tonight's game, Zack Wheeler will be the 26th man (as is allowed during doubleheaders). After the game, Wheeler will technically be sent down to AAA Las Vegas. However, the move is simply a paper one. Wheeler won't be reporting to Vegas. More likely, he'll be either near home or with one of the other Mets affiliates (Brooklyn perhaps) until his next start on Tuesday. The reason the Mets are doing this, is to delay a roster move until next Tuesday and to further ensure that Wheeler doesn't become Super Two eligible.
Mets sign first round pick Dominic Smith:
Per various reports, the Mets have signed first round pick (11th overall) Dominic Smith for roughly $2.6 million.
The lefty swinging, sweet fielding Smith, 18, will likely begin his professional career with the GCL Mets.
Jacob deGrom promoted to AAA:
With Zack Wheeler and Carlos Torres joining the big club and Collin McHugh recently DFA'd, AA starting pitcher Jacob deGrom has been promoted to AAA to fill one of the slots in the Las Vegas starting rotation.
deGrom, who turns 25 tomorrow, is being promoted out of necessity. For AA Binghamton, he allowed 69 hits in 60 innings pitched while walking 20 and striking out 44. He compiled a 4.40 ERA to go along with a WHIP of 1.48.

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Put it to you this way: If Russians, MILFs and stockings are your thing, you are in for a treat with Lily Wow. Lily is a Russian dame with a wicked cropped haircut that really brings out the beauty in her delicate face and she is always ready for a round of fun.
What members can expect from LilyWow is a good deal of masturbation, toy play and some pretty intense hardcore action a la double penetration. Lily makes it plainly obvious that she is crazy about cock and she does not hold back in any of her videos and, believe me, her videos can get pretty steamy and provocative.
Lily's perverse proclivities are captured in 79 videos. You can stream and download many of these scenes in Windows Media, AVI and Flash formats and you'll see some stellar-quality playback at times, as well as a bunch of HD downloads. As you can see, she gives you many ways to watch her behave like a naughty mama. Although, the oldest scenes are only available as low-quality MPEG clips.
On the photo front, there are a total of 402 image galleries that depict Lily engaging in everything from toy play to masturbation to lesbian action to hardcore double penetration. Most of the pictures are high-res and look gorgeous. However, a few galleries are broken up into several parts and a bunch of the ones in the hardcore section actually contain vid caps. Some shoots look a little less than professional, but all of the finished pics are clear enough to show that she is a beautiful woman.
There are bonus galleries in the "my works" section, which is a collection of modeling she's done for other websites. You also get access to 16 bonus sites, although many have just photos. If you stay a member though, you will get some of Lily's exclusive DVDs for free.
Around the 10th of each month is "Happy Day," which is when she adds 10 updates in one shot. While you're promised both vids and pics, it's random as to how many of each you get. Considering she offers more than many other individual model sites and is a very dirty girl, Lily Wow is worth checking out. Beware of the daily download limit on Zip files, though.

Customer Reviews
February 2014
The Go Oahu card worked out very well for us. Takes a little planning, but was easy to use and saved us alot of money. Would definitely use again.
February 2014
This card was great value for money. I purchased a 3 day card for myself as well as my husband and 2 sons (26 and 23). With this card you received a free activity so in a way you got 4 days for the price of 3. We used the card to hire a car for the day and drove around the whole island - very interesting and good fun; went on a tour of the Polynesian Cultural Centre-HA Breath of Life - very good afternoon/evening; tour of Pearl Harbour - great exhibition/memorial; tour of Dole Plantation; hiked Diamond Head Crater; and Iolani Palace, but there are so many other choices of activities. We were there for 7 days but felt the 3 day card gave us time to do other things, like shopping and relaxing.

China's central bank announced that it was removing some controls on the interest rates charged by banks for the loans it issues clients.
Reuters explains that the People's Bank of China said in a statement that it was removing the floor "on lending rates for commercial banks, meaning that banks will now be able to cut rates as much as they see fit to attract borrowers."
"The central bank said it hoped the move will lower financial costs for companies.
"However, it did not scrap an existing ceiling on deposit rates, currently set at 110 percent of benchmark rates, which many economists see as the most important step Beijing will eventually need to take in liberalizing its interest rate regime."
As The Wall Street Journal interprets the news, this is a "key step" in liberalization of the country's interest rate regime. One analyst told Reuters the move was "a big breakthrough in financial reforms."
As the AP sees it, this is a "move toward creating a market-oriented financial system to support economic growth."
Bloomberg reports that the move had been telegraphed by the Chinese government.
"Today's announcement builds on pledges by Premier Li Keqiang to expand an overhaul of interest rates, a development the World Bank says must be a priority in reform of the financial system," Bloomberg reports. "China's one-year benchmark lending rate has been held at 6% since the last reduction in July 2012."
The AP notes this is the first major reform implemented under the government of President Xi Jinping.

All agents are the same when it comes to listing your house, right? I'll go ahead and admit here that the single biggest thing you can do to get your house sold is to get it listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Speaking solely in terms of advertising and visibility, 80% of homes are sold just because they are listed*, no other reason. The listing gets syndicated to sites like Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia and a legion of lesser knowns. Perhaps another few percent get sold because someone knows someone, or because there's a sign in the yard, or because the buyer's agent happens to be familiar with the house and recommends it to the buyer. So if this is true, does it really matter who puts your house in the MLS?
Well, yeah, it kinda does, even if for no other reason than avoiding listings like this one. Because your home can't just be listed, it has to be listed in the right MLS and with the right information that lets the right buyer find it. This house was listed by a "flat fee" agent in Middle Tennessee. And that agent had to search through a lot of "areas" in the Chattanooga MLS to find the wrong one where this home shows up. Anybody can make a typo (don't get me started on agents that lack simple proofreading skills**) and that's bad enough, but this mistake was made because the person who entered it doesn't actually know the difference between the Brainerd area of Chattanooga and Chattooga County in Georgia. I'm sure she's a wonderful person with the best of intentions, just lacking in local experience.
And the thing is, that person who is looking to buy something in Chattooga County, is going to be disappointed when they realize that this lovely home is nowhere near them. And the person in Brainerd who wants to live in this lovely home might never know it's for sale. So if you know what you are doing when it comes to selling your own home and just want to pay someone a flat fee to put it in the MLS, call me up and I'll take care of it for you. I'll even tell everyone where it actually is.
*I totally made up that number but I suspect that it's pretty accurate nonetheless. Also, there are lots of things that make a difference outside of advertising and visibility so don't discount all of the other work that goes into selling a home.

Age and Choice in Health Insurance: Evidence from Switzerland
AbstractElements of regulation inherent in most social health insurance systems are a uniform package of benefits and uniform cost sharing. Both elements risk to burden the population with a welfare loss if preferences differ. This suggests introducing more contracted choice; however, it is widely believed that this would not benefit the aged. This study examines the relationship between age and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for additional options in Swiss social health insurance. Through discrete choice experiments (DCE), a marked diversity of preferences can be established. The findings suggest that while the aged do exhibit more status quo bias, they require less rather than more specific compensation for selected cutbacks considered, pointing to potential for contracts that induce self-rationing in return for lower premiums.

The belief backstage right now is that Cody Rhodes and Goldust will be splitting up at Elimination Chamber 2014, where the brothers are expected to be involved in a match for the WWE tag titles. A match between the two is still penciled in for Wrestlemania 30.
While many fans know that Cody Rhodes and Goldust are brothes, some do not know that they are actually half brothers. Their father is WWE legend Dusty Rhodes, but they each have different mothers. The wrestling siblings are approximately sixteen years apart in age.
When Barbarian and Warlord left the NWA while in the midst of a high profile feud against the Road Warriors, a lot of people were puzzled. It was later discovered that the Powers of Pain had backstage heat with the company because they did not want to work a series of scaffold matches.
During the 1970s, the King of Tonga chose five teenagers to go study sumo in Japan. One of the lucky ones was Sione Vailahi, who would someday become known as the Barbarian in the NWA and WWE. The training would provide him a little boost as a professional wrestler.
