Product Description
Author Patricia Sands reminds us of the complexities of women's friendships in her new book, The Bridge Club, a moving tale of eight women whose lives intersect once a month initially to play the game of bridge. Experience their journey from youthful optimism to embracing the challenges and opportunities presented in life's later years. An excellent choice for Book Clubs. --Kathy Scott, Founder, Me And My 1000 Girlfriends, That's Who! February 2011
From the Publisher
Where can you find a story about friendship, laughter and the good things in life that also touches on alcoholism, infidelity, porn addiction, terminal illness and grief? For most women, it's often within their own circle of friends. Author Patricia Sands reminds us of the complexities of women's friendships in her new book, The Bridge Club, a moving tale of eight women whose lives intersect once a month initially to play the game of bridge. What began as one night turns into four decades that span the segments of a woman's journey from youthful optimism to embracing the challenges and opportunities presented in life's later years. Based loosely on her own bridge club, Sands weaves the reader through a maze of life's inevitable scenarios as the club bears the death of a member's spouse, one woman's meeting with her biological mother, the inevitable marital and health issues, and another's final chance at freedom from the painful addiction to alcohol through rehab. "There are many subjects I address in the book that are controversial. Some people may wonder if they were chosen to thicken the plot," says Sands. "Although I have taken liberties with the actual events, and it is truly a work of fiction, most issues faced by the characters in the book were experienced in my own bridge club. The bottom line of the story is a testament to friendship and hope." The final chapter of The Bridge Club challenges our principles as one woman begins to descend into dementia. It's the PERFECT book club choice.See all Product Description

I must say Patricia how much I enjoyed your writing style. As someone who lived both in Toronto and Barrie, ON. I knew exactly where these locations were in your book. So much fun! Please keep up your wonderful writing as I look forward to reading more of your books.
~ Brenda
Thank you for a lovely experience. Your book transported me to places I had not known or experienced. The people I met through our writing were lovely & warm. I have known many ladies who all had part of their personalities embodied in your characters. Thank you again
~ Carmela
This is a book of substance, each ladies' SOS (support of sisters) issue rang true. I made a connection to each of these lovely ladies, shared in their pain, and cheered them on in their victories. Patricia is truly a masterful storyteller, her words paint pictures and create the ambience so that the reader becomes immersed in "that moment". As readers, we are left with the feelings and the sweet memories of having been there.
~ Dianne
A beautiful read of true friendships.Read more ›
However, it may not be what you are thinking. The Bridge Club is a book about eight women who have known each other for 40+ years. Each chapter of the book details one of the women's personal issues, the subjects of which range from personal family challenges, to life threatening illnesses, to grief counseling and untimately to the subject of taking one's own life. The stories are emotional and riveting. Read and enjoy. Well done Pat.
The books starts at the end. You get a taste of what is to come and the ultimate test of friendship is brought to them. Eight chapters are dedicated in turn to each one of the 8 ladies where you are transported to their most important time in their life and they remember the feelings and support they gave each other. Their "one for all and all for one " mantra uniting them in their individual struggles. Drinks, laughter and tears will help them work through their beliefs and values.
I wondered when I got this book if I would be able to connect with a group of ladies with a love of Bridge, not being able to play etc! Like it says on the front of the cover, ..it was never just about the cards. This book is so much more than a group playing bridge. This is a story of hope and sorrow. Friendships tested but always the first place each lady comes when in times of trouble/need or reassurance.
Beautifully written, Patricia introduces you to each Character dedicating a chapter to each one but still showing the closeness of the friendships through out. This book will have you laughing with them but also reaching for a tissue and the struggles they all endure. To me the ending was perfect and I totaly understood the direction that Patricia took and why. Loved the Bridge card display at the end of each chapter with a heading so fitting to what you have just read, lovely touch.
A thought provoking read for anyone, whatever age, who has close friendships that mean the world to them.
What an extraordinary book. From the first word till the last, Ms Sands carry you through the adventures of 8 fabulously wonderful women. These women have been together from the very beginning as bridge partners. They each have their own lives but once under the same roof with the cards dealt in front of them they become a group of friends so tightly entwined that they form their own world.
As I read each amazing story of the individual woman's SOS, I felt I belonged to this group from the beginning. As each woman poured her heart and soul out to the group, I kept waiting for a call, "All for one and one for all!" Each bridge member's lament is universal in nature. There isn't a story that you can't relate to in one-way or another; personally knowing someone you love who is or has struggled with the same challenge or just have heard it through the grapevine. Whatever way you relate to each woman's story, you cannot help but feel compassion and empathy for each situation recalled. I laughed when they laughed, I cried with their tears and my heart ached in rhythm with the group.
Every member of the Bridge Club treats each story told, in its authenticity. Each woman steadfastly remains in her power, never straying from her convictions and beliefs when offering solace for the problem at hand. Every woman had the precious luxury of having 8 sets of shoulders to lean on and 16 hands to help lighten the load of each situation. Every woman in this world would be so lucky to grow old in their journey with such a marvelous support group.Read more ›

Mel Gibson's proposed cameo in The Hangover 2 wasn't meant to be, according to director Todd Phillips. But his abrupt departure from the project isn't any one person's fault, either.
"The Hangover 2 is a family … and as much as I loved the idea, a lot of people didn't," Phillips told Entertainment Tonight of his cast and crew. "I didn't want anything to come in between that family."
Shortly after news of Gibson's cameo as a Bangkok tattoo artist emerged, Phillips announced the appearance was canceled – and Liam Neeson quickly replaced Gibson in the role.
There was also speculation that star Zach Galifianakis was leading the call for Gibson's role cancelation after the comedian gave an interview to a comedy podcast suggesting there were problems on the Hangover 2 set.
Phillips, however, was careful to add that he still respects Gibson's talent.
"He's one of our finest actors and, quite honestly, one of our finest directors," Phillips says.

Service Science: Design for Scaling and Transformationby Cheng K Hsu
Pub. Date: 02/28/2009
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated
Service science is an emerging field, but many still consider it lacking in substance. This book aims to change the situation by addressing the following questions: What is the big story about service? What are the main research problems in service? What does "a connected world" mean? Does service require a different kind of design science? What will be the next waves of the Web? How to support universal value co-creation? How to unite Cyberspace wilt physical space? Is it feasible to connect information resources everywhere?To answer these questions, the book presents and substantiates a digital connections scaling (DCS) model, complete with a population-oriented design paradigm and a new class of microeconomic production functions to explain the paths of transformation into the future one of the most original results today. Next, the book analyzes new business designs on the Web and characterizes a service-led revolution for the Knowledge Economy. Thirdly, it develops systems planning and design methods to help implement the DCS model at the level of Information and Database Systems, Business Strategy, and Digitization Engineering, thereby enhancing these fields. Finally, certain intriguing new applications, especially "smart highways" and information supply chains, are discussed.

The author made a compelling case for service science. In fact, it provides one. The book explains how value cocreation can be scaled in a digitally connected world. It corroberated the theory on the business designs of e-commerce and knowledge economy. In addition, the author develops the hyper-networks concept to explain the nature of the scaling, and a few particular methods to expand the field and support the scaling. many examples in the book seem to coincide with, e.g., the IBM viswion of a smarter planet. Maybe there is some logic behind the progress of knowledge-based economies.
The book is worth a serious reading. It demands patience from the reader, but the author rewrads him/her with delightful new ideas and insights in the end. The author synthesizes many new results in the field into a digital connections scaling theory, which offers an intriguing explanation to the success of the Internet, and hence its future. The author uses the Web to prove that the secret of value scaling is "all for one and one for all". It actually complements the networks science quite well: the former explains why and what, while the latter how, to network. I think anyone who is serious about studying service science ought to benchmark this book.
This is a truly original and thought provoking book by a senior scholar well established in the field. It explains with scientific rigor: what is the intellectual nature of the new service in Knowledge Economy and why it leads to future progress in a world that is connected but faces fundamental challenges in its sustainability. The book provides profound analyses into the problems of service productivity, the future of e-commerce, and new microeconomic production functions for value cocreation. On this basis it formulates compelling solution approaches complete with business strategy, enterprise design, and systems development to these entrenched challenges. Original topics such as digital connections scaling, service hyper-networks, and Internet information systems substantiate the solution approaches. The book is primarily a research monograph. However, it includes sufficient specificity and examples for classroom teaching, too. In addition to being a possible textbook for service science per se, the book also provides unique materials for use as a reference in a wide range of courses, including Information Technology and Systems (e.g., chapters 6 - 8 on Internet information systems), Business Strategy and Management (chapters 1, 3, and 5 on new business designs and e-commerce/e-business/peer-to-peer enterprising), and Enterprise Engineering and Economics (chapters 2, 4, and 9 on grand research problems, cyber-infrastructure enabled design, and microeconomics for cocreation). Every author believes that his/her book can withstand the test of time. However, in economic, social, and engineering sciences the test can be tricky. Unlike physics, chemistry, and other natural sciences where the truth is supposedly revealed by the nature to ultimately corroberate human discoveries, designs in these fields are artificial in nature and their value cannot be proven unless humans are willing to give them a try. Some of the theses in this book may never get the chance to be proven. Yet, the book makes sense, very good sense, in a unique and original way. Reading it does not waste the serious reader's time.

Celebi @ Expert Belt Natural Cure Mild EVS: 56 HP/252 SpA/200 Spd -Leaf Storm -Earth Power -U-Turn -Hidden Power Fire Then I need a pokemon that resisted Ice and Fire and learned Volt Switch I knew a Rotom Forme would be my answer. Rotom Wash was placed on the team. Rotom-W@ Leftovers Levitate Modest EVs: 232 HP/56 Spa/220 Spd -Volt Switch -Hydro Pump -Will-O-Wisp -Thunder Wave But because my team had no solid "wall" I knew I was going to need a defensive mon with Will-O-Wisp. Heatran was the way to go, and forms a god awesome core with Celebi. The set i'm running capitalizes on special bulk, but can still hit hard off 355 Special Attack. Burns are for crippling physical sweepers. Heatran also gives me hazards. Heatran @ Leftovers Flash Fire Modest EVs: 200 HP/110 SpA /200 SpD -Fire Blast -Stealth Rock -Earth Power -Will-O-Wisp Now I need a Scarfer, and a powerful one at that. SO HERE COMES THE CUTEST PONY IN OU! Scarf Keldeo! Due to my experience with Slowking walling sets with Surf, Hidden Power Dark was put in place of Surf. Keldeo @ Choice Scarf Justified Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd -Hydro Pump -Sacred Sword -Icy Wind -Hidden Power Dark In Depth Lucario @ Life Orb Justified Adamant EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd -Swords Dance -Crunch -Close Combat -Extremespeed Here is star number 1. Lucario is a powerful sweeper who doesn't get much use. For starters, access to Extremespeed is why I chose him over other fighting sweepers. Because he is uncommon, he can be hard to deal with once he reaches +2. And lastly, his typing, I can come in on burned physical sweepers and set up. Lucario appreciates this team, because paralysis allows him to come on sweepers typically faster than him, and burn allows him to come on Choice Band sweepers (Terrakion locked into Stone Edge or T-tar locked into Pursuit) Celebi @ Life Orb Natural Cure Modest EVS: 56 HP/252 SpA/200 Spd -Leaf Storm -Earth Power -Recover -Heal Bell The fairy of the forest was an extremely welcome addition to the team. Celebi is an extremely powerful member. Leaf Storm OHKOs standard Poitoed (which is SpecsToad). Earth Power has good coverage with Leaf Storm, hitting Heatran (lacking Air Balloon), and smashing Lucario. Heal Bell is for curing status on my team, as Celebi can't absorb every status (Spore Users). Rotom-W @ Leftovers Levitate Modest EVs: 232 HP/56 SpA/220 Spd -Volt Switch -Hydro Pump -Will-O-Wisp -Thunder Wave Rotom Wash is amazing. Just with its typing, I can check a multitude of threats (like Mamoswine and Landorus-T). Hydro Pump has massive power, even without rain. Volt Switch allows me to have a functional Volt-Turn core with Celebi. Thunder Wave is for hitting fast sweepers (and scarfers) while Will-O-Wisp cripples physical sweepers, allowing more switch ins for my own sweepers. Salamence @ Life Orb Moxie Naive EVs: 252 Atk/4 SpA/252 Spd -Dragon Dance -Fire Blast -Outrage -Earthquake Say hello to the best offensive pokemon in OU (if I say so myself). Dragon Dance, Moxie and Outrage are now legal together, and now it is basically impossible to wall Salamence. After one boost of Dragon Dance, Outrage will have 1.8 times the power (factoring in Life Orb) and will rampage through through teams. Nothing can wall it if rocks are up, as Rocks break Sturdy and Focus Sashes. Ferrothorn? Scorched with Fire Blast. Offensive Heatran? 2HKOed by +1 Outrage after Rocks. Salamence synergizes with Lucario very well. Rotom-Wash also helps Mence (burns enemy sweepers or paralyzes them, then Volt Switches out), so Salamence can switch into most physical sweepers and set up. Salamence checks most Volcarona unboosted, and can set up, or attempt to OHKO with his Outrage. Heatran @ Leftovers Flash Fire Modest EVs: 200 HP/110 SpA /200 SpD -Fire Blast -Stealth Rock -Earth Power -Will-O-Wisp Heatran is cool. He was the top threat (usage statistic wise) in DPP for a reason. And still continues to thrive in a metagame dominated by rain. My EV spread is so that I have great SpDefense but can still hit off 355 Special Attack. Will-O-Wisp capitalizes on special bulk, crippling Terrakion switch ins. Earth Power allows me to cripple those that resist fire, ike Keldeo @ Choice Scarf Justified Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd -Hydro Pump -Sacred Sword -Icy Wind -Hidden Power Dark In my opinion, Keldeo is the most amazing Scarfer since Scarf Landorus. Even without any boosts, the sheer force (see what I did there) of Hydro Pump and the amazing wall breaking abilities of Secret Sword are too good to pass up. Whats more so, I have everything Keldeo needs to clean. Hazards, status, and sweepers. Hidden Power Dark is for nuking Slowking, who had walled me to no end when I had Surf for a reliable STAB move. But why Dark? Because Dark+Fighting. Near unresisted coverage (as far as i know, only the bug/flying resist the combo, and they are nuked with Icy Wind or Hydro Pump. My problems I feel my team is slow (Starmie, I want to save my Keldeo for late game cleaning), but I can't really replace anything because Lucario/Salamence=Stars and sweepers Cele/Tran-the defensive core/status curer/hazard setters Rotom-tank/support Keldeo-Scarfer Oh yeah don't forget to Luvdisc!

Clean and safe. Management takes care of issues quickly.
The only reason I did not select the "Excellent" rating is that it would be helpful and more tenant-friendly if the apartments were rented by like-minded families, i.e. families with small children next to other families with small children, elderly tenants by other elderly tenants, etc. I feel this would be beneficial because of the similarity in natural level of noise and lifestyle of each unique situation.
What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.

Cousin not grandson
#4 Dec 25, 2010
Just wanted to note an error in this story. Dan was not the grandson of Bob Evans but a cousin. We love and miss you Dan. Rest in peace.
#5 Dec 25, 2010
To any negative posts here I would like to say that Dan was one of the best people I have ever met. He was kind and generous to anybody he came in contact with. He will be missed by anyone who knew him.
#6 Dec 25, 2010
I had the honor of working for this man and his company some twenty years ago, and I was just a person that worked in the mail room at that time. But I can tell you from personal experience, that he knew every name of every person that worked in that office at that time. He never failed to greet me every morning with a "good morning, Jody". He was truly a nice man and cared for his employees. If I hadn't become injured, and had to give up my job up there, I would still be working for this man. Rest in peace Dan Evans.
#7 Dec 25, 2010
I thought I heard a bell ring. Condolences to his family and friends.
#8 Dec 25, 2010
Don't even be concerned about any negative posts. Anyone who does so does not have a life. As mother always said...if you don't have anything nice to say then keep your trap shut. Bob Evans is a fine restaurant and a great gathering place. We love Bob Evans...and obviously alot of other people do too.
#10 Dec 25, 2010
Shut up!!! No one wants to see your whining!!
#11 Dec 25, 2010
The problem is,when all the original family members are gone,compassion is gone too.
Its now a corporate comglomerate just like all the others out there. Even the original Ohio divisions are all but gone.
#12 Dec 25, 2010
I hope he is setting a place at the table for those of us who are to follow. He made life better for so many. That cannot be said for everyone after making this journey of life. Peace my friend, And Thank You.
#13 Dec 25, 2010
Umm probably because any open position has to be publicly posted, even if they have every intention of filling it internally or even if the position has already been filled. They have to offer the position up to "everyone". That's ANY company, not just Bob Evans.
United States
#15 Dec 25, 2010
Two years to get a job at Bob's? I'm guessing your friend is entirely unqualified. Better have him try for the nightshift at Citgo.
#16 Dec 25, 2010
Dan was a good guy........rest in peace.
#17 Dec 25, 2010
A true restaurant legend from Ohio. My dad knew him and talked about how wonderful he was and our familes prayers to his family. Heaven will be a better place now that Dan Evans is there.
#18 Dec 25, 2010
A high school business teacher told us the Bob Evans restaurant was going to be successful because it gave us a great breakfast. This was in 1954. Our teacher was known to run his own household on a tight budget. So we students assumed that Bob Evans priced its food very reasonably. Years later my oldest daughter became a manager for the Company. She learned how to run a business at Bob Evans while it wasexpanding under the leadership of Mr. Dan Evans. She now runs her own day care business. We thank both Bob and Dan Evans.

Many cooks and waitresses from known 'greasy spoons' restaurants will not be hired because of the habits they acquired at those places.

#20 Dec 25, 2010
I worked for Bob Evans in the time Dan was CEO, our restaurant was Restaurant of the Year in the late 90's and visited our store as a result, and he and his wife actually visited there as customers as well. Dan was one of the better CEO's that actually KNEW YOUR NAME. These days, they either know you as a number, or don't know you at all, the ones that do the work to bring in the big bucks for the CEO's and they don't even make the effort to know daily hardships etc. Rest in Peace Dan, you and your character and mission will be missed.
United States
#22 Dec 25, 2010
Dan was a wonderful person and great leader for Bob Evans Farms.
United States
#23 Dec 25, 2010
Oh, and by the way D and D, habits come with the person, not with the training Bob's gives. If the person has bad habits, bad self image and a bad attitude, it's them, not the company. I learned a lot there, responsibility, self pride etc, it also depends on the character of your managers, I had awesome managers back then and I credit a lot of my person to them, as far as company goes, it's not always only the company, it's the people who manage your store and what YOU as an employee put into it. Work in a restaurant or direct customer service position and see what kind of people you come across...people can be total ASSES. Been there done that. I do agree that the company could and should be under better management, the CEO makes OVER a million a year, totally OVERPAID and UNDERWORKED.
#24 Dec 26, 2010
maybe the ceo at the bike club on parson,s ave can take over.theres alot of county bikes there.

The conventional vacuum leak detector employs a mass spectrometer to ionize and mass-select positive helium ions which are produced from helium gas diffusing through a small leak in a vacuum chamber. Partly because of the need for mass analysis (to differentiate against positive ions from residual air in the leak detector itself), the equipment is bulky, often cumbersome to operate, and expensive. The present invention was conceived to detect leaks in a more efficient and direct manner with a minimum of equipment in a way to be described hereinafter.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for leak detection in vacuum which is simple while at the same time is more accurate and sensitive.
The above object has been accomplished in the present invention by generating low energy electrons within a vacuum enclosure and within a magnetic field, forming negative ions from inleaking gas by electron attachment, and collecting such negative ions to provide an indication of the degree of inleakage.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The single FIGURE is a sectional view of the leak detection apparatus utilized in the present invention to accomplish the above objective.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The vacuum leak detector of the present invention is illustrated in the single figure in the drawing. As shown, a filament 1 is connected to ground and to a power supply such as a battery 8, such that low-energy (thermal) electrons are produced by thermionic emission from the hot filament 1. These electrons are confined to spiral paths close to the filament by an axial magnetic field of 100 to 500 gauss produced by a permanent magnet 2 encompassing the hot filament l. The magnet 2 may be located outside the vacuum enclosure 3, as shown, or it may be located inside of the enclosure, if desired. Negative ions formed by electron attachment to a selected leak gas on or near the filament will traverse spirals of much greater radius (since their masses are approximately times the electron mass), and on passing through a grid 4 are collected on an anode 5. The anode 5 is connected to a suitable detector 7 by a line 6, such that the current of such negative ions as sensed by the detector 7 will provide an indication of the degree of inleakage into the vacuum enclosure.
Molecules having a high electron attachment cross Section, Such 85 51:6, CCL4, C4F3, CsFm, CSFG, C'IFH, and many of the freon gases, for example, would be applied in localized areas over a surface to be leak tested. This increases the accuracy of pin-pointing the location of leaks. The electron attachment probabilities for a number of substances (e.g., SF C F are 1000 to 10,000 times the peak probabilities for formation of helium positive ions by single electron impact. Thus, in the present invention, there exists the possibility of greater sensitivity allowing one to detect smaller leaks. Furthermore, the above-mentioned substances are much cheaper than helium and could be used in small readily portable cylinders which would probably have equal use-life to a large bulky cylinder of helium. Many of the above-mentioned test molecules are liquids (e. g., CCL.,, C F etc.) and could be applied directly to the surface to allow for greater accuracy in locating a leak. The helium leak detector suffers from the difficulty that once sprayed at one point the helium diffuses through the air to the point of the leak giving a false reading.
It can be seen that the leak detector of the present invention is a simple tube which is not expensive to manufacture and can normally be permanently attached to the users vacuum system just as ion gauges are presently used.
Thus, a method for vacuum leak detection is provided by the present invention, wherein low-energy electrons generated within a vacuum line are encompassed by a magnetic field, negative ions are formed from inleaking gas by electron attachment, and such negative ions are collected to provide an indication of the degree of inleakage into the vacuum line.
This invention has been described by way of illustration rather than by limitation and it should be apparent that it is equally applicable in fields other than those described.
What is claimed is:
1. A method for detecting leaks in a vacuum enclosure comprising the steps of generating low energy electrons from a hot filament within and along the axis of a tubular portion of the enclosure, confining said electrons along said axis with a magnetic field encompassing said tubular portion; applying a high elecron attachment cross section fluid over an exterior surface of said vacuum enclosure to be leak tested, said fluid selected from the group consisting essentially of SF CCL C F ,C F C F and C-,F forming negative ions from inleaking gas from said selected fluid by electron attachment; collecting said negative ions by a tubular anode encompassing said electron generating filament within said enclosure tubular portion; and measuring the collected ion current to provide an indication of the degree of inleakage of said fluid into said vacuum enclosure.
2. The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said selected fluid is SP 3. The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said selected fluid is CCL 4. The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said selected fluid is C F 5. The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said selected fluid is C F 6. The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said selected fluid is C F 7. The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said selected 1S C7F14.
8. The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said magnetic field provides a confining field of a selected amount in the range from to 500 gauss for confining said low energy electrons in the central portion of said enclosure.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
Today, something amazing happened. And it didn't take a fictional superhero to make it happen. Today, Batman, Superman and Spiderman all took a back seat to an amazing real dad , his real son , and a couple of really great capes.
They were spotted at a local hardware store and the rest is honestly Internet history. (But we're willing to bet they were stocking up on crime-fighting gear! And maybe even a few snacks, too!) Check out this photo of the an onlooker snagged of this lovable duo. A commenter on the Reddit site admitted why the photo was such a hit, saying, "A good dad is always a hero to their kids. Capes just let the world see it a little better."
We seriously couldn't have said it better ourselves!
Here's the photo:

Read in April, 2011
Interesting storyline with a plot that kept me interested throughout the whole series. The two main characters, Ewon and Mookyul, grew on me as the story went on. Their love story is not without its funny moments, with bits of angst thrown in too. Certain moments will make you laugh out loud while others will tug at your heart strings. The artist did such a good job of blending both. This manhwa is definitely one for keeps.

(MONTREAL, CANADA) -- Montreal-based Vircom, developer of Modus e-mail security solutions, said its SpamBuster Team observed less than 15% compliance with the recent FTC rule for labeling e-mail containing sexually oriented material.
Effective May 19th, the rule adopted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decreed that all e-mails containing sexually oriented material must include the warning label 'Sexually-Explicit' in the subject line.
Over a 2-week period, Vircom's SpamBuster Team analyzed over 300,000 pornographic e-mails that should have been classified as 'Sexually-Explicit' under the new FTC rule. The result was that only 14.72% of these e-mails were actually labeled in accordance to the law.
"Of the rare few we found that actually complied with the new FTC ruling, most came from the same sources" said Marc Chouinard, head of Vircom's SpamBuster Team. "This indicates that the vast majority of spammers who distribute sexually explicit material either do not know, or do not care about eventual legal repercussions."
In a recent interview with a spammer who exclusively distributes sexually oriented material, Vircom asked why spammers will not comply with the new FTC rule.
"If I write 'Sexually-Explicit' in the header, I can guarantee that none of my e-mails will make it through a spam filter. In fact, it won't even make it through Outlook rules" said Paul. "You might as well kiss your job goodbye."
"We are not surprised in the least that spammers are not complying with the labeling rule," said Michael Gaudette, Product Manager for Modus anti-spam solutions."Unless the rule becomes harshly enforced, it will have negligible influence on pornographic spam. You have to remember why spammers actually spam; to get their message through to you."
For further information
Vircom recently published two studies about spam legislation and about the business of spam. "Can Laws Block Spam?" and "Why Spammers Spam" can be downloaded here.
About the "Label for E-Mail Containing Sexually Oriented Material Rule"
The Rule implements the requirements of the Can-Spam Act by requiring that any person who initiates, to a protected computer, the transmission of a commercial e-mail that includes sexually oriented material must:
(1) Exclude sexually oriented materials from the subject heading and include in the subject heading of that e-mail the mark "Sexually-Explicit" and
(2) provide that the matter in the e-mail message that is initially viewable when the message is opened include only certain specified information, not including any sexually oriented material.
About Vircom
Since 1994, Vircom has specialized in advanced Internet infrastructure and secure messaging solutions for the ever-evolving needs of both its ISP and corporate clients. Vircom is a major force in the anti-spam market with its mature and powerful Modus (TM) anti-spam technology, which was presented as the best Windows-based anti-spam solution by Network Computing magazine and awarded several recognitions such as Cata Alliance's "Innovation & Leadership Award". With offices in Canada and Europe, Vircom has become a leading player in the secure messaging industry.

We've already seen a hot picture gallery of Pornstar Jessica Drake As A Sexy Secretary, but how about some old time lesbian porn with sexy Jessica?
Here she is getting ready to fuck pornstar Roxanna Hall with a huge strapon. But there has to be some lesbian pussy licking first, as you can see in the hardcore gallery here. And not only to wet Roxanne's tight pussy ready for strapon entry, but also because it makes both pornstars feel fucking good!
Just the thought of two famous pornstars fucking each other with a strapon is enough to make me hard, but watching Jessica Drake do her horny work is dick throbbing stuff!
