I went out on a limb and bought this without sampling it first and i'm not impressed. I have thick curly hair and this doesn't really help detangle for me at all. It is very light and not as moisturizing as I had hoped it would be. BUT it didn't leave my hair greasy or oily so that is a plus. I would say this is for thinner straight haired ladies.2

Dim Sum and Then Some at Hakkasan
Har gau, AKA shrimp dumplings
Photo by Lee Klein
It is futile to compare Hakkasan's dim sum to others around town. First, there aren't that many others. Second, other Chinese joints don't emanate the beauty of Hakkasan, which is as romantic in the daytime as it is at night; during dim sum hours, the Miami sun soothingly filters in as if to cleanse the sultry opium den darkness.
Service here is a noticeable notch or thousand above that at typical neighborhood Chinese places, and Hakkasan's dumplings, turnip cakes, taro croquettes, and pretty much everything else on the currently abbreviated menu is way beyond the competition (manager Alex Conti told us they will add items as time goes on, until it becomes more comparable in size to the London menu of some 40 dishes).
Prices, too, are beyond the competition: Smaller, dumpling-ish plates range $6 to $8, more involved offerings mostly $12 to $16. That's expensive for dim sum, but not for this particular dim sum experience. Or, as Confucius say: You get what you pay for.

AbstractImpact Technologies, LLC, in collaboration with Engineering Reliability Software Group, LLC (ESRG), propose development of a widely applicable anomaly detection and sensor/data health assessment software product in support of condition based maintenance. The technology is innovative in that it uses a data-driven modeling methodology which has generic application to both high and low bandwidth signals and is capable of detecting subtle changes in signals resulting from calibration or sensor drift issues. This approach is highly scalable (not limited to the number of sensors) so it can be applied across any ship system and readily supports the condition-based maintenance (CBM) and mission readiness philosophies of the US Navy. Specific signal processing and data-driven modeling techniques will be developed for this purpose. The software modules will utilize open-systems protocols to support integration into Navy systems such as ICAS, MELS and the I/E-PARS reporting system. The signal health software module will focus on early Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) of faulty and corrupted data, with reporting functions. The module will be capable of real-time sensor fault detection (wired or wireless) and recovery from sensor faults using the signal's predicted value until the sensor is repaired or replaced. This will allow the ship systems being monitored to continue to operate as normal without the need for abrupt maintenance actions that are costly to mission readiness and effective operations.

Dear mom on the iPhone: Let me tell you what you dont see
Dear mom on the iPhone,
I see you over there on the bench, messing on your iPhone. It feels good to relax a little while your kids have fun in the sunshine, doesn't it? You are doing a great job with your kids: You work hard, you teach them manners and have them do their chores.
But, Mama, let me tell you what you don't see right now: Your little girl is spinning round and round, making her dress twirl. She is such a little beauty queen already, the sun shining behind her long hair. She keeps glancing your way to see if you are watching her.
You aren't.
Your little boy keeps shouting, "Mom, MOM, watch this!" I see you acknowledge him, barely glancing his way.
He sees that too. His shoulders slump but only for a moment, as he finds the next cool thing to do.
Now you are pushing your baby in the swing. She loves it! Cooing and smiling with every push. You don't see her though, do you? Your head is bent, your eyes on your phone as you absently push her swing.
Talk to her. Tell her about the clouds, Mommy. The Creator who made them. Tickle her tummy when she comes near you, and enjoy that baby belly laugh that leaves far too quickly.
Put your eyes back on your prize: your kids.
Show them that they are the priority. Wherever you are, be all there. I am not saying it's not OK to check in on your phone, but it's a time-sucker: User beware!
Play time at the park will be over before you know it.
The childhood of your children will be gone before you know it.
They won't always want to come to the park with you, Mommy. They won't always spin and twirl to make their new dress swish. They won't always call out, "Watch me!"
There will come a point when they stop trying, stop calling your name, stop bothering to interrupt your phone time.
Because they know ...
You've shown them, all these moments, that the phone is more important than they are. They see you looking at it at while waiting to pick up brother from school, during playtime, at the dinner table, at bedtime.
I know that's not true, Mommy.
I know your heart says differently.
But your kids can't hear your words, Mommy. Your actions are screaming way too loudly.
May our eyes rest upon those we love, first and foremost, and may everything else fall away in the wonderful, noisy, sticky-fingered glory of it all.

Skip to comments.Drillers dropping diesel for cheaper natural gas
Posted on 04/12/2012 5:13:15 AM PDT by thackney
North American oil and gas companies are trying to take the sting out of low natural gas prices by using it instead of costlier diesel fuel to drive their drilling rigs.
Oilfield technology such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have unlocked record supplies of natural gas in North America, pushing prices to a 10-year low and cutting profits. The oversupply has prompted gas producers to actively promote the fuel as a low-cost, cleaner burning means of fueling vehicles and other equipment.
Apache Corp, the largest U.S. company focused solely on oil and gas exploration and production, is in the process of converting its first rig to run on power generated by liquefied natural gas (LNG). Canada's Encana Corp's already has 15 of its more than 40 rigs driven by gas, and plans to convert even more.
"What we need to do is increase the amount of natural gas demand in this country," Steve Farris, chief executive of Apache, said in a recent i n terview in New Orleans. "From an economic standpoint, it's a no brainer."
Two years worth of fuel savings can cover the cost of conversion, according to Encana.
U.S. natural gas producers including Chesapeake Energy Corp and Apache have long touted compressed natural gas as a fuel for truck and vehicle fleets. Now, more energy companies are looking to natural gas as a means of powering their drilling rigs.
"We've seen interest just kind of explode in the last six to eight months," said Ron Bertasi, chief executive officer of Prometheus Energy Group Inc, which provides LNG and services to energy companies to run drilling rigs.
So far Prometheus, owned by Cargill Inc backed-Black River Asset Management and Royal Dutch Shell's technology fund, service about 10 rigs that have been converted to run on natural gas...
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
In 2010:
Encanas drilling rigs to run entirely on natural gas. After successfully testing the LNG storage and vaporization system the units were readied for operation in the Haynesville Shale Play covering vast amounts of Northern Louisiana. The design of the system was a successful collaboration between Prometheus, Ensign and Encana. The project enabled Encana to realize an estimated $1,000 per day fuel savings versus a drilling rig burning diesel, while also reducing NOx and PM emissions by as much as 25%.
"The project enabled Encana to realize an estimated $1,000 per day fuel savings versus a drilling rig burning diesel, while also reducing NOx and PM emissions by as much as 25%."
Wonderful, now you did it. The minute Obama finds out he will regulate it out of existence.
So, what's taking so long for somebody to jump on T. Boone Pickens for saying natural gas' best use is as a motor fuel?
There will be even more savings when manufacturers produce equipment and engines that run on LNG, rather than users having to take a diesel engine and apply a separately purchased conversion kit.
I've long said that the wealth of natural gas under Michigan could have an enormous industrial benefit in the form of cheap energy even with the unions and high taxes.
Unfortunately our power companies are going green in an effort to soak up tax breaks and subsidies for themselves and driving prices even higher.
Personally I would sell the natural gas to industrial parks at wholesale prices and let them generate their own power completely independent of other private consumers. They could even sell the excess electricity to local communities.
This is a topic in which I am highly interested. I have researched conversions for several years. A "legal" conversion, (i.e. one using an EPA certified system and installer) can cost $12,000.00 for a car. That is simply too excessive to make it practical.
There are kits that people can buy on Ebay to do conversions, and these kits run around $500.00, and they do not include the CNG fuel tank, which must be bought separately. CNG fuel tanks cost from $200.00 used, up to several thousand for new. (Depending on size, of course)
The main problem with getting CNG popularized is the high cost of conversion, and the general absence of CNG filling stations. I am currently working on both problems for my area. I am installing my own CNG filling station on my property, and I am going to convert all my own vehicles over to natural gas.
I intend to sell my compressed natural gas for $1.00 per gallon. Hopefully other enterprenuers will follow suit, and CNG can be expanded to take over transportation from gasoline and diesel.
If we could convert our transportation fuels from an oil based system, we could tell those D@mned Arabs to go to H3ll and we would therefore stop supplying them with money which allows them to try and kill us. It is in the best interest of our country to do this, and I am doing my part.
Do you know of a means to produce methanol as cheaply as natural gas? As far as the tanks go, you can get them in different sizes and different weights, it all depends on how much you are willing to spend. The Cheaper tanks are heavier, and the expensive tanks are lighter, but even the heavier tanks are not a significant burden for a normal automobile, and not a burden at all for heavier trucks or tractor trailer rigs.
Bear in mind, that CNG vehicles burn either CNG *OR* gasoline. At $1.00 per gallon, you can see that it is worthwhile to use CNG as often as possible, but being able to also use gasoline makes it less of a concern if CNG stations aren't as readily available.
I used to sell systems to do just that.
Encana has a nice filling station CNG right next to the red river in Coushatta. Encana and Shell has just about shut down the drilling in the Haynesville shale because of the low prices and dry gas.

Wait wait wait, this is confusing! This article seems to imply that if we drill more, it drives prices down? But that can't be because Obama said that drilling for more oil wouldn't drive oil prices down!
I have enjoyed several interviews of Boone Pickens by Cavuto.
Pickens strongly pushes LNG for fueling , especially of our big rig fleet. He says that if the big rigs were converted, the pressure on supply would evaporate and prices would come down.
He is a plain and outspoken man who seems to tell it like it is. One winders if he is not involved in the transition noted. It would be application of using the thoughts at home before pressing others to make the change.
I am not saying he is wrong in this, but his company will grow fantastically if the US subsidizes or otherwise mandates this system.
I see what Pickens is doing as more than mere advertising to the free market.
What most people never realize is that methane (Natural Gas) is a renewable resource. It can be produced (by the anaerobic microbes) in 30 days in sewer plants and landfills from almost any organic waste.
Additionally, most never know that there is likely an unlimited supply of NG in hydrolyzed methane in most oceans just waiting to be unlocked.
T Boone is a huge player in the natural gas market, so he has a vested interest in pushing it. Still makes a lot of sense, but to me it makes more sense to use it for generating electricity.
It would take a long time and a lot of money to build an LNG/CNG infrastructure to support fueling over the road vehicles. Makes sense for service vehicle fleets, but not over the road.
"Sometimes options are better than plans."
Yes, but that is completely antithetical to the way the world works now. In a world where government controls everything, plans are better than options.
By the way, are the flex-fuel vehicles of the last few years capable of using methanol as well as E-85 without modification? I mean, could I take my E-85 flex-fuel
SUV over to the dragstrip, fill up with some methanol racing fuel, put it in the tank, and just drive off?
That is because of the current demand. Would it stay low if demand were significantly increased?
The big economy is not in the fuel but in the cost of conversion. You need no new infrastructure for Methanol. The conversions are cheap, and even cheaper if put in at the factory. Current supply and delivery systems for gasoline will work just as well for methanol. Room temperature liquids are just easier to handle than a gas. Even an fairly easy to handle gas like methane.
It occurs to me that if this idea is so easy, why isn't it going anywhere? Where can I buy liquid Methanol for $1.34/ gallon. (And is it cost per liquid gallon, or energy equivalent gallon?)
A flex fuel car can burn gas without having to lug around the extra fuel tank. For a methane burner to be able to switch between fuels you need both a gasoline and a methane tank. That just adds mass as one of the two tanks is always dead weight.
If the idea is viable, it has obvious benefits. I just keep thinking that if it is viable, it's a no brainer, so why hasn't it been widely proposed. Why is there no "Pickens Plan" for Methanol?
As a final advantage the ability to rapidly switch between fuels is a strategic advantage. For the prepper it is nice to know that in the case of a fuel disruption caused by Iran or Saudi Arabia, or just rioting here in the US, you can use whatever fuel you can get your hands on. Most high school chemistry students can brew up ethanol in a pinch. Methanol is a bit harder, but not beyond the ability of a garage mechanic.
Well, i'm committed to my current activity regarding natural gas, but if methanol is really a viable alternative, then I will certainly be interested in using it. My thinking is that we need to do whatever it takes to remove monetary power from the middle east by virtue of their control over so much oil energy.
We need to bankrupt those b@stards and make them irrelevant, i.e. the way they were for most of their History.
Oh, there's nothing wrong with that statement, it's just that he wanted the government to give him a few hundred billion in "incentives" to do it.
Nah, I'll jump on Boone for wanting to use taxpayer money to subsidize his business ventures.
Show me how to make it from natural gas and i'll start making it myself. Do you have an information on the process used to convert it? With modern fuel injection systems, it is mostly a function of software to use a liquid fuel with a different energy density. There may also be an issue with additives and what if any may be necessary to burn methanol in an ordinary engine.
Methanol doesn't need a lobbying group, it just needs someone to do it. (If it is viable.)
Not to mention its high level of toxicity and ability to be absorbed through the skin or breathing the fumes. Short term exposure effects include blindness and death.
In fact methanol is less toxic than gasoline.
I understand that to be false. Also methanol has significant skin absorption issues compared to gasoline.
MSDS sheets shows the exposure limit for methanol to 200~260 ppm and 300~500 ppm for gasoline.
You can put out a methanol fire with water, but you cannot see the fire to know it is even burning until it spreads to something else. It is very difficult to find and extinguish a fire you cannot see. If the methanol fire is not contained, water will spread it without it being seen.

The Pearl Vol. I: The Scandalous Victorian Journal of Erotica Issues 1-3by Anonymous
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Victorian Erotica at its Best! The Pearl was the leading erotic publication of the Victorian Age. This legendary magazine first appeared in London in July, 1897. It lasted for a short, but glorious eighteen months, and then vanished--a victim of its own underground status, for income could never catch up with costs. During its year and a half of publication, The Pearl, serialized six novels that have earned the status of classics in the field of erotic literature. The magazine also featured short stories and verse celebrating the sensual pleasures and the pursuit of lovemaking in all its myriad forms. Among the pearls of erotic literature to be found in The Pearl are "Lady Pokingham, or They All Do It," "Sally's Mistake," "The Marriage Morn," "The Sultan's Reverie," and the fabled, "Miss Coote's Confession." Sizzler Classic Editions will be reprinting The Pearl complete and unabridged, with three of the original issues of this scandalous, titillating publication in each eBook edition.

Echoing Edward Said's belief that Western humanism is not enough, we need a universal humanism, the renowned critic Clive James presents here his life's work. Containing over one hundred original essays, organized by quotations from A to Z, "Cultural Amnesia" illuminates, rescues, or occasionally destroys the careers of many of the greatest thinkers, humanists, musicians, artists, and philosophers of the twentieth century. In discussing, among others, Louis Armstrong, Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Freud, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, James writes, If the humanism that makes civilization civilized is to be preserved into the new century, it will need advocates. These advocates will need a memory, and part of that memory will need to be of an age in which they were not yet alive. Soaring to Montaigne-like heights, "Cultural Amnesia" is precisely the book to burnish these memories of a Western civilization that James fears is nearly lost.
About the Author
Born in Australia, Clive James lives in Cambridge, England. He is the author of Unreliable Memoirs; a volume of selected poems, Opal Sunset; the best-selling Cultural Amnesia; and the translator of The Divine Comedy by Dante. He has written for the New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic. He is an Officer of the Order of Australia and a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

I usually use the word "effectiveness" in conversation, but sometimes I use the word "efficacy" then self-correct with "effectiveness" . Is there a practical difference between them?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

For all practical purposes, I don't think there's any difference in meaning between efficacy and effectiveness - or indeed efficaciousness, come to that.
My own feeling is that efficacy is somewhat stilted - pompous, even, despite the fact that it's a shorter word...maybe people like to use efficacy because it sounds more scientific. Possibly my perception is influenced by the fact that effectiveness has been the more common version for the past century...
Here a link that notes the difference: http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/tp/efftrialtp.htm...Note "to distinguish effectiveness (pragmatic) from efficacy (explanatory) trials " Also, more at wikipedia.
However, based on past experience with hearing the word in scientific contexts, I googled efficacy and found that "In medicine, it is the ability of an intervention or drug to reproduce a desired effect in expert hands and under ideal circumstances." I guess that distinguishes it from effectiveness in practical real-world application. I know that one company I worked for conducted both "efficacy trials" and "field trials" for its products.
James Fernald, Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary of English Synonyms, Antonyms & Prepositions (1947) distinguishes between the adjectives effective and efficacious (and effectual) as follows:
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Synonyms (1984) lists efficacious (along with effectual and efficient) as synonyms of effective. Here are the relevant comments from the entry for effective:
Consistent with Merriam-Webster's distinction, we might say, for example,
Switching to the noun forms that the poster asked about, we might put it this way:
I must say, though, that these are extremely fine hairs that the dictionaries are splitting; I doubt that many English speakers maintain a clear distinction between effectiveness and efficacy.
In general usage, effectiveness and efficacy have the same meaning. In medical jargon there is a subtle, but important difference. From Wikipedia:
To me, "efficacy" and "effectiveness" are essentially parallel to "utility" and "usefulness". The former connotes an idea of being used for the proper purpose while the latter simply indicates that it works. Using a screwdriver to put in a screw is both effective and efficacious. It has high utility and usefulness. Using the screwdriver to pry up a paint can would arguably do the same. But if you're using the same screwdriver as an improvised chisel, it is effective and it is useful, but that's not the intended purpose.
Based on their definitions, and this thesaurus entry, I'd say they are synonyms, and the difference is purely stylistic word choice/personal preference.

We have sufficient information to act collectively to address some of the world's most pressing environmental problems. So why is it sometimes so difficult to find solutions? There are many examples of how our societies are collectively becoming increasingly disconnected from nature. As we progressively lose our connection to an environment, the chances that we should care, and therefore that we act to conserve and protect it, also decrease.

The Beat That My Heart Skipped
'Heartbreaker' Makes Romantic Comedy Look EffortlessSubmitted by mattmovieman on September 17, 2010 - 7:30am
Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – If there's one genre Hollywood has managed to screw up beyond all recognition, it's the romantic comedy. Many of the worst films in recent years have brought the genre to an all-time low, such as "Leap Year," "Love Happens," and anything starring Gerard Butler. These dumbed-down products use stereotypes in place of characters, incessant sparring in place of chemistry and gooey sentiment in place of a tangible heart.

We have been staying at this hotel for over the last 6 years and it has never been so dirty and unkept. We checked out after one night and went to another motel. The bathroom was the worst Im not sure it was even cleaned that day. Spills down the walls and counter, pubic hair on the toilet. The dust clusters around the wall trim and floor was over the top. The Pool area was dirty and the halls were unvaccumed. Funny the halls were in such bad shape because they were cleaning the carpet just outside our room at 10:00 at night! How do you expect people to sleep with that noise going on. I hate to complain but we were so disappointed.

frames for glasses online tered a tiny bit but they are stupidly sensitive and would normally be streaming miserably in these conditions. Overall they have been a great buy and helped me a lot. being an open faced helmet rider I found these to be spot on, without paying stupid money for glasses I have found these to fit in all the right places, no digging on the side or your head, the foam on the inside does what its mean Birmingham best bed polo ralph lauren sale ng the early morning when the sun is rising to reduce the effects of Sun glare. Whilst not being fashion conscious my daughter said I looked cool,and that's not bad either. Look great very comfortable on your face I hate it when you get light at the side of your glasses does not happen with these This is a very stylish, great looking pair of men's sunglasses, with a very sporty and trendyOslo oakley accessories best rice cooker .
s a spare pair to keep in the car and wasn't disappointed, they are really good value and look fantastic.
VERY ATTRACTIVE SUNGLASSES WITH GOOD LENS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN EYE PROBLEM AS i DO!
These are superb sunglasses. The effect is very flattering. The would look good anywhere even in Dubai. Thank you very much
I am not given to moaning about products, and certainly rarely bother to do so in a review. In this instance, however, ralph lauren bag y recommended.
Thank you very much for reading this review.
P.S. Disclosure - This product was sent to me at a discounted price, in exchange for an honest and impartial review. This has had no impact on the objectivity and honesty of my review.
Hubby loves them boug glasses for men ket . However, a designer case for a small price, can't be bad!
Well made, looks good and roomy enough for large glasses.
Case uncrushable so ideal for travelling, no worry about
I got my first pair of Predators years ago in France and used them constantly, as I always wear sunglasses for driving. I was gutted when I dropped them and scratched the lens, so I was delighted to find these on Amazon. They cut glare brilliantly and reduce eye strain. I like the semi-wraparound style, it's comfortable and timeless. I'll be.

I cracked the screen on my Samsung Series 3 notebook, model number NP305V5A. I need to find screen replacement directions, or at least generic instructions that could work for this general type of Samsung laptop.
The screen surround is just clipped on. Carefully un-pop it with a flat headed screwdriver. Once this is removed you'll see 4 screws securing the screen. Once removed you need to carefully remove the data cable thingy on the back of the screen.
A replacement is available on Amazon. I have the same laptop and busted my screen in the corner. I have successfully managed to remove my screen.

Waukesha Rotary Club helps feed the need through Blessings in a Backpack
Program helps combat childhood hunger in county
As a mother of two, Michelle DuBord can't imagine the thought of her children ever going hungry on the weekends.
But for those less fortunate, this is certainly the reality.
That's why when DuBord heard from representatives with the local Blessings in a Backpack nonprofit about the number of the kids across Waukesha County who don't have a healthy option after school gets out on Fridays during the school year, she knew what Waukesha Rotary's next community service project would be.
"When we saw that we could make a difference and provide something nutritious that they normally wouldn't get over the weekend it rose to the top," said DuBord, who is co-chairing the community service project with fellow member Alison Wiese. "When you think about kids going hungry on the weekend, as a parent, or even not as a parent, just thinking about not having access to food, especially with kids who can't do anything about it, we definitely said 'this is the way to go.' "
And so the Rotary partnered with Blessings in a Backpack, a group made up of local volunteers who each Friday fill up backpacks for students who are on the free and reduced lunch program at Hadfield Elementary in Waukesha.
A need at Hadfield
Blessings in a Backpack is a national charity started in 2005 in Louisville, Ky., but as Linda Broyles, program coordinator of the Waukesha County Mom's Blessings in a Backpack chapter, puts it "we are very much still a grassroots organization."
That's because each chapter is responsible for their own fundraising as well as to gather volunteers to manage the weekly logistics of getting food to the schools.
"We chose Hadfield to start our program because the need was so great," said Broyles, who explained the elementary school has around 70 percent of its school population on the free or reduced lunch program.
The backpacks include ready-to-eat food items such as granola bars, peanut butter, tuna, crackers, macaroni and cheese, cereal, applesauce, fruit cups and juice boxes.
Throughout April, Waukesha Rotary members brought these items to its weekly meetings and at its April 22 meeting, they packed bags to be distributed to Hadfield later that week.
Successful first year
Giving the children this backpack each week is so meaningful for Broyles as well as Blessings in a Backpack member Regina Estrada, both on hand at the Rotary meeting.
"It is hard for children to learn when they are hungry and for some of these children, without our help, the last meal they would have is lunch at school on Friday," Broyles said.
Broyles, of Hartland, left the corporate world to help jumpstart this chapter last year and coordinates payment for the food every week, makes sure the food gets to the school and organizes volunteers to get the food into the backpacks. They also fundraise or find a financial sponsor for the program.
Each chapter needs $80 per school child for the year, so groups would need $8,000 to sponsor 100 children for one year.
The group started last year by self funding and supporting 25 children. And it's been a successful first year. As of April 1, Broyles said the group has the funds to support 100 children.
Looking to feed more
But Broyles said it's the group's goal to expand to more schools next year, as she noted that more than 4,600 children qualify for the free and reduced lunch program in Waukesha County.
"Our goal is to stay at Hadfield until we have enough funds to support all the children that qualify and want to be supported and then at that point we'll move to other schools," Broyles said.
To achieve this goal, the group looks to have a successful fundraiser over the summer called "Fire & Ice" at the home of a supporter in Elm Grove that includes cocktails, a dinner buffet, entertainment and silent and live auctions. Planning is still ongoing but admission is $100 per person. Broyles said for more information to contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Broyles just hopes the people at that fundraiser are as charitable as the Rotary Club.
"They were generous and wonderful," Broyles said.

Ricky Parker has a thing for Big Boss's dick - he just can't keep his hands off of it, so slowly he works his hands up and down the shaft, letting his mouth follow where his hands go. This is one truly hot scene and I love watching them both in action. Big Boss especially captures my heart because of his rock hard abs and rock hard ass. Oh and one more important bit that is also rock hard - that big ebony cock of his. He puts that into action quickly, slamming it right into Ricky's ass once he has him nice and hard.

Staining Wood
Dear NH,
I'm going to stain a fireplace mantle. It's new pine and has never been finished before. I'm using Minwax stain with polyurethane. Should I use a pre-stain wood conditioner?
JR from Staffordsville, KY
Dear JR,
Pine does not absorb wood stain evenly. Simply applying a stain with no preparation may result in a "blotchy" appearance with contrasting dark and light areas. Applying the wood conditioner equalizes the absorbency of the pine so that a more even finish is obtained. Follow the directions on the can regarding proper application of this product.
Be aware that if you wish to apply a second coat of stain to darken the finish, you should apply the wood conditioner AGAIN prior to restaining (especially if you wait overnight before applying the second coat) or the stain may not absorb evenly.
