Josh came home from work to see his wife Amy sitting in the kitchen. "Hey Hun, how are you?" Josh asked. Amy was cooking supper and reading the newspaper, while she waited on the stove. Josh bent down to hug her from behind her chair. "Just reading the newspaper, babe!" She said as she looked up at him. Josh walked to the fridge to grab a cold soda and turned to his wife. A kinky grin fell upon his face, while he watched her reading.
She diverted her eyes from the page to see him lusting upon her with his own, as she read. "What are you thinking, dirty boy?" she said with a giggle. Josh blushed to her question. "If you only knew!" he replied. Amy giggled to his response. "I bet I know!" she said. Amy picked up the newspaper and placed it to her chest. And while she continued to look upon Josh, she started groping herself with the newspaper.
"You'd like to see me naked in the chair, groping my body with the newspaper. Moaning, Mmm, ahh, as you watch me." She said. She ran the single sheet down in between her legs. "Would you like to see me rub my hot pink pussy with your newspaper, sir?" She said, poking light pun as she moaned some more. She laughed and continued to read her newspaper.
Josh walked over and stood behind her chair. He grabbed the newspaper and placed it back upon Amy's chest and placed his hands over top of her breasts. Groping them through the newspaper as he kissed her lips. He then grabbed the rest of the newspaper and walked into the living room.
Josh sat down in his chair and opened up the newspaper. He started to read it, but his thoughts were on a fantasy of Amy sitting naked in the kitchen. The way she would caress her naked body with the newspaper. Her nipples hardening under the crisp sheet and how she would slowly rub it all over her. His imagination grew to the thought of her slowly running down towards her wet and neatly shaved pussy. How she would moan to every rubbing sensation.
She would rub the newspaper up and down her sweet pussy lips. Hearing the paper flap and crinkle. And in his fantasy, she rubbed so good, that the newspaper made her cum hard. Josh's cock hardened to the extent that he felt it would bust like a balloon, if he didn't taken care of it soon. He quickly grabbed a single sheet of newspaper and headed to the bedroom. Amy heard him from the kitchen, as she lifted her eyes from her newspaper and smiled to the thought. Then she went back to reading.
Later on that night, Josh began to have ideas rushing through his head. He remembered one of Amy's fantasies was to be strapped to a rack and whipped and teased.
Josh started his day off with a hug and a kiss for Amy. "So, what kind of plans do you have today?" Amy asked. Josh looked to her with a secretive smile. "I have a project I've been meaning to work on." He replied. Amy looked confused, while heading towards the door. "Okay. Well, have a good day off and don't….soak….the newspaper, before I get a chance to read it tonight." She demanded nicely. Josh laughed to Amy's pun. "I'll make sure of it, Hun!" He replied.
Amy left for work and Josh waited till she was out of site to get in his truck and head out, as well. He needed to pick up a few materials to start his project. He went to the hardware store and another store to pick up the main supplies and then he stopped at a news stand to buy a fresh copy of the daily newspaper.
Then he headed home to build it. And when he was done crafting and building the surprise, he set it up in the large guest room. That way it would be out of site, so that Amy didn't see it, before he had a chance to show it to her. The next step would be to wait till the afternoon, when Amy would return home for the night.
As Amy walked in the house, she was surprised to see that Josh was sitting naked at the dinner table. He was reading the newspaper, like how Amy had played around with the other day. "Oh! I see you were lonely, while I was gone! Is my newspaper still innocent?" She asked him. Josh looked up at her and laughed. "Yes dear. Your paper is still innocent." He replied.
"I remembered you asked me not to soak the newspaper, before you got a chance to read it. So I went out and bought another one." He finished saying. Amy looked down at Josh and laughed. Walking behind him, as he did to her, she threw her arms around his shoulders. "I see you wittle willie!" She laughed and wiggled his hard cock. Josh giggled as she kissed his cheek, while she gently played with his cock tip. He turned his head to passionately kiss her on the lips.
"I bet if that newspaper where a woman, you'd kiss it as well as you make love to it." She said with a playful laughed. "Well, I think I might join you." She mentioned, as she started to undress and sit down with her newspaper.
Later on that night and still naked from earlier, Josh was ready to show Amy his creation. "Hey Hun, I have a surprise for you!" He said. He got up and motioned her to stand with him. "I want you to close your eyes and I'll lead you to it." He continued. Amy closed her eyes as josh guided her with her shoulders. He walked her to the guest bedroom and opened the door. "Now, stand there for a minute. I have to prepare something first." He said. Josh went around the room and lit a bunch of scented candles. He then walked to Amy and guided her into the middle of the room.
He raised her arms and wrapped her wrists with furry hand cuffs that were hanging by small chains. The chains were attached to a metal adjustable frame. Then he took a belt made of PVC with chains connected to each side and wrapped it around Amy's waist to buckle her in. Once Amy was all strapped in, Josh picked up a strawberry and glided it over Amy's lips. "Taste it." He said. Amy bit into the strawberry and let out a gentle moan to the taste.
Josh placed the rest of the strawberry upon Amy's already hardened nipples. He rubbed them all over, before placing the strawberry back upon Amy's lips and glided it across them. She bit into the rest of it, while Josh picked up another strawberry for him.
When the strawberries were gone, Josh looked upon Amy's eyes. "You can open your eyes, now." He instructed her. Amy slowly opened her eyes and looked around the candle lit room. She paid examined the rack that Josh had built and a smile grew on her face. "Are you pleased?" Josh asked. Amy looked back to Josh with a wide smile. "Yes master! What more do you have in store for me, tonight?" She asked him. "You will soon see." Josh responded.
He didn't need to think about it as he already had everything planned out, carefully. He walked to the little end table on the side of the room and picked up a newspaper and a roll of scotch tape. He also grabbed a glass that sat full with wine. Then he walked over to her and lifted the glass to her lips. "Sip from this cup." He said. She tilted her head back and let the wine glide into her mouth.
Josh gently glided the newspaper across her breasts as she sipped the wine from the glass. "How was it?" He asked her. Amy smiled to him. "It was good, master. I want more." She replied. Josh lifted the glass to her lips and allowed her to sip from it again, while he lowered the newspaper down to her pussy. He gently glided it across her pussy lips, while she sipped from the wine glass.
After Amy was done with the wine, Josh sipped from the glass and sat it back down. He walked back over to Amy and pulled a big sheet of newspaper from the pile and wrapped it around Amy's head. He taped it tightly to her and began to make holes, so she could breath. Amy moaned as all she could see was the words on the newspaper and a dim light from the candles.
She could smell the mixture of the newspaper with the candle scent. She became very aroused with the moment. Josh put his hands between her thighs and motioned Amy to spread her legs. Amy spread her legs to openly reveal her pussy. Josh took a few sheets of newspaper and folded them nice and tight, the long way. He placed it upon Amy's pussy, while she became very wet.
He gently glided it across her wet pussy lips. Back and forth, till he spanked her pussy, hard with his newspaper whip. Amy's leg muscles quickly spasmed as her body lightly jolted up. Josh continued to gently rub then whip Amy's pussy hard. And after awhile, she became used to it and shared a sensational touch of it on her pussy.
Josh put his newspaper whip down on the end table and walked to each side of the rack. He loosened the fasteners and pulled the top part of the frame down so it stuck out. He tightened them and started with the fasteners in the middle. Then he motioned Amy to slowly bend over, so that the frame could sit parallel to the floor. Josh walked in front of Amy and lifted her head up. "Open your mouth." He commanded. Amy opened her mouth Josh put his hard cock up to the newspaper.
He pushed his cock hard to poke a hole through the newspaper and into Amy's mouth. She clamped her lips tightly around Josh's cock and allowed him to push it in. With slow short thrusts, he made her suck on his shaft. In and out, he pushed himself inside of her mouth. Then pulling out just enough for her to suck on his cock tip.
When his cock was good and wet, he grabbed the newspaper whip and walked behind her and laid some newspapers on her back. He put his hands down on the newspapers, while he inserted his hard cock into her hot wet pussy. She moaned to the feel of his cock inside of her. Pushing deeper and harder. He went slowly, so she could feel and enjoy every push, inside of her tight pussy. Josh started to whip Amy's ass cheeks, with his shaft still inside her.
He smacked it hard, after every thrust. Amy moaned louder. She began to climax, when Josh pulled his cock out to cum all over the newspaper upon Amy's back. He quickly reinserted his hard cock back into Amy's pussy and began to fuck her again. Then he bent over and lightly rested his chest upon the cum-covered newspaper, over Amy's back. He placed one hand around her side and in front of her to squeeze her breast.
He used his other hand to hold on tightly to the metal frame of the rack. And with harder and deeper thrusts, he brought Amy to her full climax. She let out a long hard moan as she had cum all over Josh's cock.
After they were done, Josh readjusted the rack to the upward position. With Amy still in bondage, Josh slowly ripped the newspaper from her face. Amy was breathing hard. Josh threw one arm around her waist and his hand from the other on the back of Amy's head. He pulled her into him and gave her the most passionate kiss they have ever had in their marriage. And when all was over, he released her from the teasing rack.
"You know what I just realized?" Amy asked Josh. Josh looked at her with slight confusion. "I forgot to read today's paper." She explained. Josh laughed. "Well, you certainly had time to read a little of it, while I had you wrapped up." Josh said in laughter. "Yeah, maybe next time. My pussy is whooped!" Amy said in pun.

God's Extravagant Love in Creation
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity (6 entries)
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
Teaching the Whole Controversy
Part of our goal at BioLogos is to demonstrate that we in the Christian community can and must think deeply, but also broadly, if we want to do justice to the complexity of biological life, but also to the complexity of our lives of faith.
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Saturday Sermon: Gloriously Functional
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.

|Dandelion Festival May 19
In suburbs all over this country, homeowners are gearing up to do battle with lawn weeds this spring. The king of all weeds, the dandelion, is often number one on their hit list. But naturally, here in Vermont, we take a different tact - people here cultivate the darned thing for heaven's sake. And wouldn't you know, there's even a group of Vermonters who have a festival celebrating America's most frustrating weed. To top it off, there is another group of Vermonters who actually show up at the event. Go figure.
You should come out and take a look at these quirky folks. You'll find they are friendly and relaxed. Some of that may have to do with the fact they are drinking white wine that's made from their exalted weed.
So, while the rest of the country digs, cuts, chops, burns, poisons, and generally mutilates the poor plant, you can find a place that celebrates it with raised glass and grateful palates. This festival is a good chance for you to make an entry in your list of goofy but fun stuff you did with your time on this planet.
The festival is Saturday, May 19th at Grandview Winery from 1:00 to 5:00.Admission is free. There will be music along with other types of wines to taste. Grandview Winery is located about 15 minutes north of Montpelier. You can get directions here. It's a very scenic area to drive around exploring. I recommend a drive up through Plainfield and Marshfield over to the town of Peacham and just pick some side roads to explore. It's a lot of fun to see the beautiful vistas and farms back in the hills and you will no doubt find some good places to photograph. The area around Peacham is one of the most photographed in the state of Vermont. Cabot Cheese factory is nearby in the town of Cabot and it's worth a visit for the factory tour and cheese shop.
The dandelion blossom produces a wine that tastes surprisingly good. It is aromatic and lightly sweet. Quantities are limited and the price is about $15 a bottle.

iAnimate.net Games – starts May 7, 2012
Learn about animation from the pros

iAnimate.net Games – starts May 7, 2012
iAnimate.net is excited and proud to announce their new Games Workshop series that will begin in May 7, 2012.
Richard Arroyo (Lead Animator) has designed the curriculum and has head hunted top professional animators from different gaming studios to be your Instructors. They will share the knowledge, experience and techniques that they have used to create some of the most thrilling games. The primary goal of iAnimate games is to teach the principles of animation, but you will also learn the lingo, the process and workflow needed to work at a game-development studio.
Live animation demo
"One of the best ways to learn is to watch somebody do it!"... Another way is to be guided to the same work process and then repeating it. We have created multiple animations and saved the progress and workflow to demonstrate the methods we have taken to create each unique animation.
Versatility in your reel
There's a lot of animation opening in games! In all honesty, game studios want independent and quick on their feet animators. Some animators don't get hired because of the lack of understanding the Game industry needs. If you have a reel that shows the fundamentals needed and you have some kick ass acting and action shots… you're the guy they can use for cinematic and in game.
Awesome benefits students can expect from iAnimate:
•Extra Live Demos by Jason Ryan every week.
•Flipbook and Maya software
•Over 14 Feature Quality Character Rigs (More on May 7th)
•Live Review and QA sessions. •Very small Animator to Instructor ratio (8 per Instructor)
•Online community for peer to peer feedback. •Over 600 hundred hours (and counting) of searchable/downloadable video lectures and demos.
•Assignments tailored to in Game and Cinematic Animation.
•Lifelong membership for all graduates.
•Exposure to the top studios from all over the world.
•Student discounts from Rhinohouse.com for all iAnimate students.
•Select the Instructor with times most suitable for your schedule.
•Watch any other Instructor's recorded demos and lectures.
•Free JRA Tutorials and JRA Webinars for all students.
•No penalties for taking breaks in between workshops.
•No restrictions on how many workshops you can take.
•Frame by frame feedback.
•NO GRADES!!! The quality of your work is what matters.
This course will present a focused study of 3D animations made for the game industry. The workshop will consist of multiple live talks and demos given by the Instructor as well as prerecord video reference and video links. The goal is to show the instructors personal workflow through variety of different kind of animations, and help and give guided notes. In addition to the demo and lectures, the instructor will also assign animation task that would resemble an actual production pipeline. We will start with fundamentally rigged and simple formed character, then we will begin with understanding the certain terminologies of game animations, best practice in key framing for games, understanding animation constraints with games, animation breakdowns and work a rounds that are needed when working with a 3D engine. Students will spend time on their own recreating certain animations, which are the foundation of animating a game character.
The studies will be an emphasis on creating quality animations that create a readable, fluid and appealing character. The Workshop classes' primary focus will be oriented for in-game and cinematic animations.
In order to qualify for iAnimate Games you must submit a reel with a good understanding of body mechanics. David Hubert (iA instructor and DreamWorks Animator) will review your reel and will email you with instructions on how to secure your place. There is a very limited number of places available so if you're ready, come and join us on this great adventure.
For more info, please visit the http://www.iAnimate.net site and email email@example.com if you have any questions.
Game on!
Richard Arroyo, David Hubert and Jason Ryan

I have obviously offended some members of Donation Coder with my admittedly very warped sense of humour. It was not my intent to offend anyone, but I have, and I apologize for having done so.
To Deozaan: I don't even know you, and nowhere in my post are you referenced, directly or indirectly, so I'm puzzled by your conclusion that I'm treating you like an idiot. But thanks a lot for querying me for clarification first or giving me the opportunity to make amends for my offense (by editing my post and/or offering an apology) before resorting to muffling my thread.
I am resigning my membership, but not in anger or protest. Web groups, clubs, and forums, are a lot like people: they have their own distinctive characters, personalities, and overall sense of humour. I have mine, which I wouldn't change for the world, and therefore accept that I won't (nor shouldn't) fit in everywhere. For the short time that I was a member of DC, I've come to regard both your in-house applications as well as your discounts for top quality software by commercial developers, as first class. I sincerely wish DC and its members continued success, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend your site to anyone interested in programming or who'd like to belong to a community of others who enjoy developing/using great software.

St. Mary's detectives raided a casino operation in Charlotte Hall just before midnight on Sunday night, shutting down the table games and reporting the next day that they seized its financial records and nearly $20,000.
No arrests have been made from the ongoing investigation of the shopping center storefront office of TPR Inc., sheriff's Capt. Daniel Alioto said at midday Monday as the local law officers, aided by FBI agents, continued their work.
"We are following the money," Alioto said, to determine the relationship between the casino, its manager and Thoroughbred Placement Resources, a racehorse-rescue organization in Upper Marlboro.
"They were wrapping up a session" when law officers arrived with a search warrant, the captain said, at the Charlotte Hall location. "For the most part," he added, "everybody that we ran into was cooperative."
A separate raid at the home of the casino manager's home found more documents and $5,000, according to the detective.
George Wells said Monday afternoon that the money at his home was to pay for the rental of the casino's gaming tables, and that he has continuously made all his paperwork available from the games, which he said benefit "good charities" in the area.
"It all had to do with the [games'] dealers being compensated," Wells said. "We buy them food. They come in and we give them a meal."
A separate casino operation, titled Arden's ARC animal rescue, was located at New Market Plaza. Alioto said that facility voluntarily closed down when its operators were advised of the investigation.

Re: U.S./Cyprus Bilateral Agreement
2 February 2007
Cultural Property Advisory Committee
On behalf of the World Archaeological Congress (WAC), I am writing to you regarding Cyprus' recent request to include coins more than 250 years old on the list of archaeological materials whose import into the U.S. is restricted through bilateral agreement. WAC supports Cyprus' request. Coins have important archaeological research potential when found in context and unfortunately are easily subject to pillage and illegal export. Coins are part of Cyprus' rich cultural heritage and when remove seriously jeopardizes its ability to interpret and understand its past.
WAC is an international organization representing professional archaeologists and other heritage professionals with members in over 90 countries around the world. WAC is dedicated to the protection, research, and understanding of the world's rich and diverse cultural heritage. Of particular importance to WAC is the right of sovereign nations to decide for themselves how best to manage their cultural heritage and implement effective measures to safeguard these valuable resources from pillage. Granting Cyprus' request is a proper move in the right direction.
Coins found in context offer archaeologists the ability to scientifically study the social, political, and economic history of Cyprus. Once coins are removed from their context without proper archaeological recording, it is impossible to ascertain this information and it is lost forever. Adding coins to the lists of archaeological materials protected by the bilateral agreement will ensure that Cyprus cultural patrimony is protected for future generations. WAC urges the Cultural Property Advisory Committee to include coins on the prohibited list of archaeological materials.
Respectfully submitted,

I ran this past three very experienced guys, including two estimators over the last few days, here's what I got. In our area (Philadelphia PA) that job would have been bid around $340,000.00, or aprox. $80.00 per foot installed. Mabye you can get cheaper materials, but at your price you could be making more working over time at a low paying job. Not trying to be an a** but it seem to me, your going to lose big time on this job. Am I wrong?

not to beat a dead horse, but...
well, my steel showed up yesterday evening. got started at 4:30 am gang cutting peices on the band saw. stacked them in the fixture and welded my butt off. i completed 20 sections to make 200 feet today and delivered the trailer to the sandblaster/painter for them to do their thing. i will finish cutting parts tomorrow and maybe i will get to start setting pieces this week. snackers, maybe i need to move up there, because i would have been laughed at, hysterically, for a bid that high. the next lowest bid came in at 60,000. i beat him by only 2 grand. as i said before, it wont be a bad piece for something "on the side"... the only thing experience has to fear is the strength and bullheadedness of youth.
When I first saw the 340,000 number I bout spit my iced tea on the keyboard. After thinking about it for a few minutes that number may not be all that exaggerated, of course that is if you live in a major city in the north. If you take into consideration that a house we can purchase here in the south for 85 thousand is gonna run about 300 or better up there, and if you factor in the pay scale difference between here and there (about 2 - 3 x's higher up north) and the cost of living differences, I can see how it would be so much up in Pa..
welder_one, sounds like you got a pretty good jump on it, with that kind of production you should knock it out in no time. DaveIf necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

Best of luck...
Welder-one, Sounds like you have a good jump on it, best of luck on the job and be sure to keep us updated on your progress. I was really shocked at the price differences in materials and labor between our areas. I'll get some pics of railing we are doing in the shop this week for an office building we just put up.
no welding done today, got most of my pieces cut for the entire project. i only broke 2 blades doing it(alot less than i expected). the torrential floods last night and today had sooooo much water in the floor of my shop that i didnt want to weld. so, i just cut and cut and cut and cut and cut...you get the point. dabar, i only wish i could make a girls day the way you did today. good job

Call National Custom Craft at 1-662-963-7373 and ask them to send you their catalog. They have pool railing in both steel and aluminum, all powder coated, as well as gates and all the hardware needed. Both residential and commercial grades. Could save you some work, and increase the profit. All of their products are good stuff. So good they quit publishing their warranty because it was never used. Tell them Ken with Jolly Roger Services referred you. I get my door frames and some window bars from them and they are top notch, and I am one picky $%^. I have a rep around here for being expensive (some say too high) but all of my customers say my work is worth every nickel. I do a lot of heavy equipment repair on stuff that gets a lot of abuse, as well as lots of cast iron repairs, warranty my welds, and have had to honor the warranty one time in 10 years (repair of someone else's work), and told them before I left that I was afraid it would crack out (cast iron to steel). That problem has since been solved (corecast 8600 fcaw wire, it's good stuff).Lincoln: Eagle 10,000, Weld-Pak HD, Weld-Pak 155, AC-225, LN-25 wirefeeder

Effect of intermittent fasting on circadian rhythms in mice depends on feeding time.
Revealing that only daytime feeding produced the desired affects.
Some Intermittent fasting gurus, the ones that say to skip breakfast, claim the evening meal is the one we are 'meant' to eat. I'm not hungry then. Besides, it makes sense to me to eat during the hours I'm active. I think the most important thing is to that you spend a lengthy period not eating, whatever time of day you do it.
Of course, a mouse's natural circadian cycle isn't necessarily the same as ours.

For the price, this combo really sounds great! I am always nervous about buying something I dont know much about but when I read others comments about the product, that really helps. And this product is no exception. After I installed it and plugged in my iphone, I was really impressed. It is really loud. And that is right out of the box. I have yet to tinker with the audio settings. Very highly recommended. You wont be disappointed.

Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Kenwood Marine Receiver/Speakers Package Written By Monty, Los Angeles, Ca on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Although you can find this head unit cheaper and a package using 2 pair of 4" or 6.5" Pyle speakers you can not get the same sound quality this set delivers. The installation from wiring to listening took about an hour and a half on my 17ft Open Bow and the instructions are easy to follow for the do it yourselfer. The construction will indeed stand up to the elements and mishaps of even the beginner boater. The Head unit KMR-355U features will allow you to add almost every comfort you have on land. The sound delivery is clear and well balanced with the Kenwood KFC1633MRW 6.5" speakers. With its low power consumption I have run my system for over 4hrs. with a single battery setup and had no starting problems. To sum it all up for the beginner thinking of some entertainment choices to the seasoned boater replacing or upgrading; the quality, ease of installation, construction and value the Kenwood Marine Receiver/Speakers Package Item# 113PMR355U with free Tech support ( just in case) is the ideal choice. Pros: Sound Quality, Price, Easy Installation, Features: Front side USB and Line-in, RCA-out, internal satellite control.

Marine Speakers: The Kenwood KFC-1633MRW 6.5" 2-way full-range marine speakers are built to withstand the harsh marine environment. The KFC-1633MRW features a 6.5" polypropylene injected water-resistant cone woofer with a rubber surround, and a 1.0" balanced dome tweeter.

The USB port enables connection and control of a portable USB mass-storage class (MSC) device; such as your Android smartphone, portable digital audio player, or USB thumbdrive. The unit supports playback of MP3 (8-320 kbps) and WMA (32-192 kbps) music files stored on a compatible USB memory device formatted with FAT16 or FAT32 file system. Your USB device should only have a maximum of 8 folder layers, 255 folders, and 255 files per folder - with a maximum of 65,025 files and folders. USB portable audio players that can be charged via USB will be charged when plugged into the CD receiver's USB port (max. 1A), and the vehicle's ignition switch is set to ACC or On. Note: You cannot connect a USB device via a USB hub or Multi-Card Reader to this unit. Music Control for Android Smartphone: The Kenwood Music Control app for Android organizes your Android smartphone's music, while providing quick and easy search capability from the Kenwood CD receiver. The free Kenwood Music Control App for Android can be downloaded onto your Android smartphone from the Google Play App Store. Your Android smartphone must be running Android OS 2.2 or later. Once the app is downloaded and has a chance to organize all the stored music on your Android smartphone, you can connect your Android smartphone to the Kenwood CD receiver via USB (your compatible Android smartphone must be recognized as a USB mass storage class device; not compatible with MTP protocol). The Kenwood Music Control app offers the following Android supported functions. Song Management: Music stored in your Android smartphone can be navigated from the Kenwood CD receiver. Songs can be easily selected by searching for a Song title, Artist name, Album label, or Genre. Song Information Display: Song information such as Artist name, Song title, and Album label are displayed on the connected Kenwood CD receiver. Mood Playlist: Playlists can be created by classifying songs into categories by type of mood. Songs are analyzed and classified into the following categories of moods - High Energy (Active/Powerful/Core), Acoustic (Detailed/Simple/Smooth/Easy), Standard (Dynamic/Rockin/Vivid), Stylistic (Cool/Urban/Trance) Intro Skip: This function allows you to choose and listen to only the hook-lines of songs stored in your Android smartphone. Note: When the Kenwood Music Control app is first downloaded it will require some time to populate all the music, so we suggest doing this overnight. Music Files Format Supported by Music Control app for Android: Codec Extension Bit Rate Sampling Frequency AAC .aac, m4a up to 160 kbps 8-48 kHz MP3 .mp3 8-320 kbps n/a PCM/WAV .wav n/a n/a Music Editor Compatible: The Kenwood KMR-355U supports the PC application, Kenwood Music Editor Lite (ver.1.1.0). Kenwood Music Editor Lite is a Windows-based desktop software that helps organize, manage and transfer MP3/WMA music files to your USB (MSC) device from your PC. When you playback audio files that have been stored on your USB (MSC) device using Kenwood Music Editor Lite through this unit, you can search a file by title, album, or artist name using the head unit's Music Search function. The Kenwood Music Editor Light (ver.1.1.0) Windows-based software can be downloaded for free from Kenwood.com to your PC. The Kenwood Music Editor Light is compatible with the following Windows Microsoft Operating Systems. Windows XP Professional, Home Edition SP2 or later (32-bit) Windows Vista (32/64-bit) Windows 7 (32/64-bit) Note: Not compatible with Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Zune, or Android Aux In: The unit is equipped with a front panel 3.5mm minijack auxiliary input that can be used to input audio from a portable audio source, such as a portable MP3 player. The Aux input must be turned on to function. The KMR-355U allows you to select the source type displayed when using the auxiliary input. You can choose from AUX, DVD, Portable, Game, Video, or TV. The unit has 3 auxiliary input modes. On1: Outputs the sound of the external unit connected to the Aux terminal when switched to the Aux source. On2: Activates the attenuator function when turning on the power with the auxiliary source selected. This prevents the noise when no external unit is connected to the Aux terminal. Turn off the attenuator function when listening to output from an external unit. Off: Disables the selection of the Aux source. iPod/iPhone Control iPod Direct Connection w/ DAC Bypass: The KMR-355U's front-panel USB port acts as an iPod/iPhone high-speed direct connection when used with the optional Kenwood USB Direct Connection Cable (113KCIP102, sold separately) or the USB/iPod cable that comes with your iPod/iPhone. If you have an iPod nano (7th gen), iPod touch (5th gen), or iPhone 5; use the Lighting-to-USB cable that came with your Apple device to connect to the head unit. Using either cable allows audio playback, music navigation, information display, and charging of select iPod/iPhone models from the KMR-355U. DAC Bypass: This USB connection allows your iPod/iPhone's large music libraries to be loaded instantly to the head unit and sound quality to be maximized through the head unit's 24-bit D/A converter, allowing for a Signal to Noise ratio up to 105dB.

Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The Kenwood KMR-355U utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The Kenwood KMR-355U is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the KMR-355U are as follows: Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD) Maximum Output Power: 50 watts x 4 channels 2.5V/4CH Preamp Output: The KMR-355U is equipped with two pair of 2.5V preamp outputs (Front, Rear/SW). You can set the Rear/SW preamp outputs for connecting a pair of full-range rear speakers (through an external amplifier) or for connecting a subwoofer (through an external amplifier). When set for rear speakers, the rear outputs operate with the unit's fader control. When set for subwoofer, the outputs are non-fading. Subwoofer Controls: The Kenwood KMR-355U offers the following subwoofer controls, when you have the unit's subwoofer preamp output activated. Low Pass Filter: The receiver features a built-in Low Pass Filter control for the preamp-output, when the output is set to Subwoofer. You can select from 85 Hz, 120 Hz, 160 Hz, or off. Subwoofer Phase: You can adjust the phase of the subwoofer output between 180-degrees (Reverse) or 0-degrees (Normal). Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level (-15 to +15) from the CD receiver. Speaker Settings: The Speaker Setting function tailors the head unit's audio settings according to the type of speakers in your vehicle. You may select a Speaker Setting of 'SP-Off' (flat/off), 'SP-OEM' (for OEM factory speaker systems), 'SP-6x9/6' (for systems with 6" and 6"x9" speakers), or 'SP-5/4' (for systems with 4" and 5" speakers). Preset EQ: Eight EQ curves are preset into memory, allowing you to recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of music. Each preset has its own level settings for bass (100Hz), midrange (1kHz), and treble (12.5kHz). You can choose from the following preset EQ curves - Rock, Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, Natural, Game, and User. Bass Boost: In addition, The Kenwood CD receiver features a Bass Boost control that can be set to the following levels (BB1, BB2, BB3, or Off). Loudness: This function enhances low and high frequencies to make the sound clearer lower volumes. There are 3 levels (LV1, LV2, or Off). Source Tone Memory: This feature allows you to store bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (CD, AM/FM, Aux, USB, iPod, and Pandora). Supreme Setting: When MP3 or WMA files encoded at a low bit rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Supreme Setting function restores their high frequencies so the sound quality is closer to files encoded at a high bit rate. The processing is optimized for the compression format and the bit rate used. When the Supreme Setting is Off, the unit plays the original sound stored in the audio file. Volume Offset: The level of each source may be independently adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching from one source to another. The available settings range from -8 to 0 (-8 to +8 for Aux source). Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. AM/FM Tuner + SiriusXM Ready AM/FM Tuner: The Kenwood KMR-355U features a built-in AM/FM tuner. You can choose one of four tuning methods: Auto 1 (seek tuning), Auto 2 (cycles through and tunes the selected band's preset stations only with each button press), or Manual Tune. Tuner Presets: The KMR-355U's tuner features 3 FM banks (1, 2, 3) and 1 AM bank for storing presets. The Kenwood KMR-355U offers two preset modes. Normal: You can store 6 presets for each AM/FM bank giving you a total of 18 FM presets and 6 AM presets (total of 24). Mix: A total of 6 preset stations can be assigned to the head unit's 6 preset buttons, regardless of AM/FM band. This lets you recall a preset station without switching between bands. Auto Memory Tuning: Not only does the CD receiver's tuner allow you manually enter your desired presets you can choose to have the unit automatically put stations with good reception in the memory banks automatically; this is a handy feature when traveling. Mono Mode: The Mono mode improves the radio's FM reception, but the stereo effect will be lost.

Essentially, no cancer produces signs or symptoms at the outset. During this period, which varies considerably among cancer types, the only way to detect a cancer is through screening. Since the chances of curing many cancers increases the earlier it is diagnosed, physicians often recommend screening tests for the early detection of cancer or precancerous conditions well before symptoms develop. However, the results of screening tests are not definitive. They need to be confirmed or disproved with further testing.
In order to be effective, a cancer screening program must at least meet the following criteria:
- The cancer being screened must be common
- There must be a long period of time during which the cancer is detectable in the absence of symptoms, and, ideally, the cancer must remain localized in the primary area during that time
- The screening tests must be accurate, inexpensive, and acceptable to patients
Because screening tests are almost never definitive in themselves, a second test is generally required to confirm (or exclude) the diagnosis of cancer. This follow up test should not be a repeat of the screening test, but should be a more "specific" test, meaning it's less likely to have false results than the screening test. Most confirmatory tests are tissue biopsies: a portion of the questionable tissue is taken and examined under the microscope to determine whether or not cancer is present.
Unfortunately, all of these conditions are not always met. Consider breast and ovarian cancer.
Breast Cancer Screening
Routine mammograms (x-rays of the breast) are commonly recommended for women over 40 years of age. As a screening test, mammograms make sense because they detect an extremely common condition, are relatively inexpensive to perform, and are reasonably sensitive at finding tumors too small to be detected by either you or your doctor.
However, mammograms are not specific. In fact, for a woman whose risk of breast cancer is low (those under age 50, for example, with no family history), a positive mammogram is very unlikely to be cancer. In other words, it is more likely than not a false positive result. It is for this reason that a mammogram, or any screening test for that matter, should never be relied upon to make the final diagnosis of cancer. A biopsy is always required and the utility of a mammogram is that it directs the biopsy to the proper spot.
Ovarian Cancer Screening
Unlike breast cancer, there is no effective screening test for ovarian cancer. Routine screening currently takes place during the gynecologic exam, which is not very sensitive at detecting small tumors. Another approach would be to perform an invasive procedure called a laparoscopy on essentially all women, which would be entirely impractical due to the expense and risk involved. Fortunately, ovarian cancer is relatively rare, especially when compared to breast cancer.
It turns out that there are only a handful of cancers—breast, cervical, skin, prostate, colorectal—for which useful screening tests exist.
Screening Schedules
There is disagreement among medical groups regarding the appropriate timing and frequency for some of the screening tests.
Below are recommendations for the American Cancer Society (ACS) for routine cancer screening in people at average risk (same as the general population) for cancer. Other organizations may have different recommendations. People at higher risk (those with a family history, for example) should generally be screened earlier and more frequently. Speak with your doctor about the appropriate screening schedule for you.
Lung Cancer
Not recommended on a routine basis (because of the frequency of false negative tests, even in carefully selected populations)
Chest x-ray
Sputum cytology
Rectal and Colon cancer
Fecal occult blood test
Yearly after age 50
Sigmoidoscopy with or without barium enema
Every 5 years after age 50
Double-contrast barium enema
Every 5 years
Every 10 years after age 50
Prostate Cancer
Discuss with doctor the blood test for prostate specific antigen with or without a digital rectal examination
Yearly after age 50, Men at high risk should begin screening at 45
Cervical, Uterine, and Ovarian Cancers
Pelvic examination
Every 1 to 3 years between the ages of 18 and 40, then yearly after age 40
Cervical Cancer
Pap test
Every 3 years for ages 21-29
Every 5 years for ages 30-65 if having both Pap test and the human papillomavirus (HPV) test (or continue to have the Pap test every 3 years)
May be able to stop these screening tests at age 65
Breast Cancer
Breast self-examination
Monthly after age 20
Breast physical examination
Every 3 years between ages 20 and 40, then yearly
Yearly beginning at age 40; some protocols suggest every 1-2 years depending on the relative risk status of the patient
Risks of Screening
As with all things, the potential benefits of cancer screening must be weighed against the potential harms. False-positive results for example, can create undue psychologic stress, and if they occur often, can produce unacceptable numbers of unnecessary invasive, expensive and painful diagnostic tests. And even a true positive result may not always be in a patient's best interest. Because of its slow growth, for example, prostate cancer may never have harmed an elderly man who was successfully screened with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. But now that he has the information, he may feel compelled to undergo an aggressive course of treatment to remove the tumor.
Screening tests can also produce false-negative results . This occurs when a screening test fails to detect cancer that is actually present. A false-negative screening test may mistakenly reassure you that you are free of cancer and need not pay close attention to early clinical signs or symptoms. For these reasons, physicians need to be careful when ordering and interpreting screening tests for cancer. This is also the reason that the same screening test should not be repeated to confirm the presence of the cancer it implicates.
Because a diagnosis of cancer must always be made with as much certainty as possible, positive screening test results are insufficient for clinical decision making. A biopsy is required to definitively diagnose cancer. To learn more about how cancer is diagnosed, see the cancer diagnosis section of this classroom.
When cancer is confirmed, staging tests are used to determine whether it has spread to other parts of the body. This information helps doctors choose the appropriate treatment approach for your cancer and to determine your prognosis. To learn more about how cancer is staged, see the cancer staging and grading section of this classroom.
Genetic Testing
Physicians use genetic tests to detect the presence of genetic mutations that may signal the presence or the risk of a disease or disorder. Genetic testing serves a number of purposes. For example, it has long been used to screen newborn children for genetic disorders. It also allows couples to determine the risk for passing on an inherited disorder to their children. To learn more about genetic mutations, see the cancer genetics section of Cancer 101.
A more recent innovation for genetic testing is its use in estimating the lifetime risk of developing certain cancers in adults. For example, women who carry one of two BRCA gene mutations have an 85% risk of developing breast cancer during their lifetime. This compares to a lifetime risk of approximately 12% in the general population. However, since this mutation only accounts for about 5% of breast cancers, it is not an appropriate screening test for the vast majority of women. It is, however, an appropriate test for patients who have a strong family history of breast cancer.
Despite the fact that more and more genetic screening tests for cancer risk are being developed and marketed, they are not without their controversy. Questions remain about who should have access to genetic information and how this information should be used. If you have a strong family history of cancer, you may wish to speak with your doctor about the risks of benefits of genetic screening.What are the signs and symptoms of cancer?How is cancer diagnosed?What is staging and grading?How is cancer treated?Can cancer be prevented?What are some other cancer resources I can use?

"Our selection to participate in the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative is a significant win for WMP and a major coup for patients in our region. It will give us additional resources to focus more attention on our patients and support our efforts to better coordinate their care,'' said William Higgins, MD, Medical Director of the Westchester Medical Practice "This is a tremendous benefit for the community and recognition that WMP is among the leaders in the movement to improve primary care.''
The Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) initiative was created by the Affordable Care Act to foster collaboration between payers, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), state Medicaid agencies, commercial health plans, self-insured businesses and primary care providers.
As an incentive to improve coordination of care and reduce costs, primary care practices will receive a monthly care management fee to support enhanced, coordinated services on behalf of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. Primary care practices that are part of the initiative will also received enhanced payment from participating commercial, state, and other federal insurance plans.
For patients, this means these physicians may offer longer and more flexible hours, use electronic health records; coordinate care with patients' other health care providers; better engage patients and caregivers in managing their own care, and provide individualized, enhanced care for patients living with multiple chronic diseases and higher needs.
In addition to the New York/New Jersey area, practices in Arkansas, Colorado, Oregon, Ohio and Kentucky's Cincinnati-Dayton region, and the Greater Tulsa region of Oklahoma were selected for the four-year program. Participating practices must meet nine milestones/quality metrics each year in order to remain in the program.
A 50-physician, multi-specialty practice offering quality medical care, Westchester Medical Practice has offices in Cold Spring, Cortlandt, Peekskill, Putnam Valley and Yorktown and is affiliated with Hudson Valley Hospital Center.

For 40 years, the Ernest W. Hartung Theater has been a place for the campus and the community to come together and enjoy the performing arts. However, it has also served as a vibrant learning environment. It is a laboratory where students develop the craft of acting, designing, stage managing, directing and playwriting. A place where their peers from other disciplines, such as music and dance, come to collaborate as artists, and a place where devoted professional faculty members share their knowledge and experience.
But a lot has changed over the past four decades. Access to public buildings has improved, sound systems for the hearing impaired have been revolutionized, and new technologies and safety equipment have been developed to improve the theatrical experience for both the audience and the artists.
Designed by ALSC Architects of Spokane/Coeur d'Alene, the Hartung Theater has been re-envisioned to meet the needs and take advantage of the insights and innovations of the 21st Century.
The renovation is planned in three phases.
In this effort, theatre arts alumni Bill Fagerbakke and Academy Award winning actress Anna Pearce (Patty Duke) have agreed to act as honorary co-chairs of the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences Performing Arts Campaign.
You can be apart of this exciting project by contributing to the Hartung Theater Renovation fund.
