Should be your first choice to fill in those holes in the oral section.
Eighteen scenes, starting with Alana filling out her release form at a table as two guys, naked, walk over and sit down across from her. She crawls under the table, and we're off and running. Eleven scenes are outdoors, and there's even one by a pool with the girl in the pool, which you don't see all that often. The scenes aren't Pinter, but they're at least presented with a little wit, like Keki D'Aire musing "It's a beautiful day for a blowjob. All I need is a hard dick...." And she looks down and guess what she sees.
Scenes are cut to a fare-thee-well, clocking in at a trim five or six minutes on average, and shots are well-selected and flattering: The unforgiving from-behind shot is only used twice, and rightly so both times. A good selection of female talent, and the guys meet the limited requirements placed upon them.
Pre nom: Best Oral Series.

DALLAS — The natural and organic markets are mature enough to warrant an integrated merchandising approach, Denis Ring, president and founder of Bode International, told retailer attendees here yesterday at the Healthy Foods International Exposition and Conference. "You wouldn't create a whole segment and dedicate it to foods that are low-fat or low-salt, so I don't think it makes sense to do the same with natural and organic items anymore," said Ring, who during his tenure with Whole Foods ...

Have a spare $3,900 lying around to spend on the Apple fan in your life? If so, you could do a lot worse than splashing out on twin mice, still in their packaging, signed by none other than Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Wozniak.
Why I love, love, LOVE this crazy 10-button mouse
You may not need a mouse much these days if you're rocking a Macbook or Magic Trackpad, but if you do any kind of gaming on your computer, you know a mouse is essential kit.
Category: Mice
Works With: Mac, PC
Price: $159.99
Pro gamers rely on lag-free, incredibly high-tech controllers and gaming mice, and Steel Series is one of the top contenders in the field. Their series of gaming mice and keyboards are precision engineered to provide whip-fast response to any twitchy input a gamer needs in their chosen gaming environment.
The Steel Series Sensei wireless gaming mouse is an ergonomic marvel with ten buttons, its own software control app and some scary-quick response times.
Despite all that high-tech nonsense, it's super easy to use and feels good in the hand. Which is important when I'm jacked into an all-night MMO session with 12 of my besties, raiding the lair of whatever monster it is that we're all trying to kill.
I love this damn mouse more than I can say.
Logitech Ultrathin Mouse Works Like A Trackpad
The one thing I've never thought about my mouse is that it's too thick, and yet here comes Logitech, fresh off its success with the Ultrathin Keyboard Cases for the iPad and iPad, making an Ultrathin Touch Mouse for your MacBook Air (or "Ultrabook," as the gender-neutral marketing parlance has it).
Best Of Macworld/iWorld 2013 Awards
SAN FRANCISCO, MACWORLD/iWORLD 2013 – Moscone West has been packed with exhibitors for the last three days as they peddle their latest wares to the Apple faithful. We combed through all the booths, and while there were a ton of underwhelming products, Macworld 2013 did feature some really cool stuff.
After some fierce debate among the Cult of Mac editors, we've settled on five things at Macworld 2013 that are truly deserving of a "Best of Macworld 2013" title. Without further adieu, here are our picks for the give best things at Macworld.
Beautiful Glass Multitouch Keyboard And Mouse Can Make Any Mac More Futuristic
Do you love typing on your iPad, the feel of your digits drumming atop virtualized letters glowing out of slippery glass? No, we thought not: for serious typing, few do, which is why the iPad keyboard case market is doing so well. So I have some haptic problems with this Kickstarter project to bring a wireless multi-touch glass keyboard and mouse to market. Aesthetically, though? Gorgeous.

NORTH SALT LAKE — City officials announced Thursday that remediation work is expected to begin on the North Salt Lake landslide by Oct. 15 and will start at the top of the scarp where investigators believe lies the greatest risk.
Construction at the top of the scarp is expected to be largely complete by the end of the year, and work on the rest of the slide will continue through the winter, though funding for the project has not yet been identified, according to Mayor Len Arave.
Before a construction plan is developed, geotechnicians plan to do additional drilling at the site to better measure ever-changing groundwater levels on and around the slide and how they would impact remediation.
The landslide hit Aug. 5, sending tons of rock and dirt sliding into a home on Parkway Drive, damaging a pool and tennis club, and forcing 27 residents from their homes. The slide crushed the home of the Utrilla family, permanently displacing them. All but one other family have now returned to their homes but the neighborhood residents remain uneasy about the possibility of additional slides.
Several residents at a community meeting Thursday requested that data collected be shared publicly as it becomes available in the hope that it will clarify what the broad impacts of the slide could be, such as a change in the way groundwater flows through the neighborhood.
"We have concerns about what's going on under Parkway Drive — what the water movement is, what might happen to us in three years if our foundation starts cracking," said Steve Peterson, who lives across the street from the slide. "This could take a long time to determine the impacts."
Residents also called for more open communication between city officials and community members.
"I would like to feel that the city isn't treating me already as a potential litigate," resident Ty Weston said. "I think sometimes when we hear the verbiage from the city, it almost feels to me that the city's already treating me as if I have sued the city or done something against them. ... I want the city to be my representative, my ally in resolving this."
Sharing information
Kearn River Gas Transmission Company is continuing to monitor two gas pipelines that run through the area of the slide, which supply 90 percent of the natural gas for Las Vegas, and 30 percent of the gas for Southern California, Arave said. The utility company has hired it's own geotechnical firm to study the slide, as have the city and Eaglepointe Development.
Each firm will share the information they gather to ensure accuracy and a broad perspective on which to base remediation plans, the mayor said.
Arave said the city plans to address several concerns raised in a petition from residents of Eaglepointe, including determining what events and contributing factors led to the slide, as well as necessary adjustments to city ordinances, policies and procedures.
"We have to take it one step at a time," he said.
The cause of the slide remains unknown, but it appears that heavy precipitation contributed to the slide's accelerated movement, according to Tim Thompson, a senior geologist with GeoStrata, a firm hired by the city to monitor the slide.
"Nobody anticipated an inch of rain in a half an hour," Thompson said. "That was an awful lot of rain. The rain lubricates the sheer plane to make it weaker, it adds weight to the slide to make it heavier, it does all the things you don't want to see happen."
Utrilla home
What's left of the Utrilla's home at the base of the slide is expected to be removed starting Wednesday.

[Overview]
The concept of Magneton is a very simple one. Magneton is used on teams which benefit from the removal of Skarmory, and to a lesser extent the removal of Forretress; generally those teams centered around physical sweepers, such as Gyarados, Substitute + Swords Dance Heracross, and CurseLax, which struggle with Skarmory. Magneton can also be used to compliment teams which use Skarmory to lay down Spikes, removing the common Rapid Spin user Forretress with Hidden Power Fire, and allowing Skarmory to lay Spikes freely. However, those sorts of teams will massively struggle with a smartly played Cloyster, and as such are rather unreliable. Magneton overall should not be seen as a linchpin of a team, but as a tool used to increase the damage output and overall offensive effectiveness of a team's key members by removing their largest counters.

Unfortunately, other than its designated Steel-trapping role, Magneton struggles to counter anything notable, despite its slew of resistances. This is largely due to very mediocre stats, and a crippling 4x weakness to the very common Ground-type moves. A RestTalk set can check most Gengar variants and RestTalk Zapdos with the correct investment, but otherwise Magneton, especially offensive variants, is largely a one-for-one trade if there are Steels to trap, and if there are not, it can often be a burdensome waste of a teamslot. The way to play Magneton in general is to play very conservatively before it has completed its function of Steel-type trapping and removal, and very aggressively after it has done so, freely sacrificing it unless it is needed to take a sleep-inducing move, or act as death or Wish fodder. RestTalk Magneton is an exception to the above statement. In a world of ideals, Magneton should attempt to get in on the Steel-type which it needs to trap on a predicted double switch. This is because high-standard opponents are likely to Whirlwind first with their Skarmory—or even worse, Earthquake with their Forretress—to check for the magnetic trio as opposed to blindly using Spikes, and if Magneton is switched into Skarmory again, it could be possibly met with a well-timed switch to Dugtrio.
 [SET] name: Offensive move 1: Thunderbolt move 2: Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Fire move 3: Substitute move 4: Toxic / Metal Sound / Thunder Wave item: Leftovers ability: Magnet Pull nature: Modest / Timid evs: 68 HP / 252 SpA / 188 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
This is your bog-standard Magneton: it "does what it says on the tin", efficiently trapping and removing Skarmory and / or Forretress from the fray to allow powerful physical attackers to muscle their way through the opposing team with no pesky Steel-types stopping them. Thunderbolt is a quintessential attribute for every Magneton set, providing a powerful STAB move for it to utilize, and is a good way to dispatch Skarmory. The choice of Hidden Power is dependent on Magneton's teammates. Hidden Power Grass is a valid option, though Magneton should be used to form defensive holes in a team which is designed to accomodate Dragon Dance Salamence or CurseLax; the former sets up all over Forretress, and the latter forces it to unleash a weak Explosion. Both are checked by Swampert (the latter only by Curse variants though), which Magneton can almost make short work of with Hidden Power Grass; it does around 90% to it, although Swampert will most likely be weakened enough for Hidden Power Grass to kill, as the most likely scenario is that it has switched into one Hidden Power Flying from Salamence. However, Hidden Power Ice is also somewhat workable if Magneton is being used to support something like Dragon Dance Gyarados, which simply loves switching into both Forretres and Swampert, but won't enjoy taking Flygon's Rock Slides as much; Magneton is slower than Flygon, so Hidden Power Ice must be used from either behind a Substitute or on a predicted switch. Another reason to use Hidden Power Ice is that it covers Celebi and Dugtrio at the same time. Hidden Power Fire is a decent option in that it allows Magneton to also vanquish Forretress. Hidden Power Fire Magneton is most suited for support teams which utilize powerful physical sweepers such as Metagross and Choice Band Normal-types that are stopped by Forretress and Skarmory. Hidden Power Fire also gives Magneton-based teams a way to handle any Forretress using Spikes, as it is very uncommon to see Magneton alongside a spinner.

Substitute is in the third slot because Magneton is able to force a decent amount of switches offensively, and then either hit switch-ins powerfully or status the opponent from its safety behind a Substitute. One of Magneton's few uses after Steel-type removal is switching in on a predicted switch to a bulky Water-type such as Milotic or Suicune, Substituting on the predicted switch out to the appropriate Magneton counter, and then choosing the appropriate move with no need to predict and strain the mind. The fourth slot can be filled with a variety of moves and is comparatively unimportant, as Magneton will often only get the chance to use one of its moves in a game situation due to the ubiquity of Dugtrio. As Magneton beats the majority of common Steel- and Poison-types, Toxic is a decent option to cover things which it cannot fell with its attacking moves. Toxic is also notable because SubToxic Magneton can either almost kill Swampert or force it to Rest as long as Swampert switches in. Metal Sound is also fairly viable; it works best alongside Spikes support, but can also act as a deterrent to Calm Mind users, such as Celebi, Raikou, Jirachi, and Blissey to an extent, who see Magneton for the most part as setup fodder. Thunder Wave is also viable, although less so than other moves as Thunder Wave Magneton will often have no way to fight back against teams with the correct Ground-type. However, it is great for taking the smirk off that Superachi's face, and will often find other uses in battle situations.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Magneton uses an uncomplicated EV spread that maximizes its effectiveness. 68 EVs are shifted into HP for that extra bit of generic bulk, but are rather irrelevant. A Modest nature and max Special Attack allows it to OHKO even the most specially defensive of Skarmory and Forretress. Magneton can potentially go faster with a Timid nature and hit around 244-246 Speed, but in doing so it loses out on that key OHKO on specially defensive Skarmory and Forretress. Magneton, if using Hidden Power Fire, MUST use a Modest nature, as Timid Magneton fails to OHKO 252 / 252+ Forretress. When considering partners for Magneton, you should not be thinking, "what can your team do for Magneton?", but "what can Magneton do for your team?" Magneton is an offensive trapping support Pokemon; it supports powerful physical attackers by trapping their counters. These physical attackers are Magneton's best partners. Gyarados and Salamence are particularly notable as partners for Magneton, because as well as Magneton opens up teams to be mauled by the pair, both aforementioned attackers share perfect type synergy with Magneton. Other physical attackers, such as Substitute Swords Dance Heracross, Swords Dance Heracross without Substitute, CurseLax, and Tauros, also fit in well alongside Magneton, all gaining a buff to their effectiveness when Skarmory and Forretress are not present.
 [SET] name: RestTalk move 1: Thunderbolt move 2: Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Fire move 3: Rest move 4: Sleep Talk item: Leftovers ability: Magnet Pull nature: Modest evs: 240 HP / 252 SpA / 16 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
Rest and Sleep Talk form the crux of this set, increasing Magneton's staying power throughout the game by giving it a recovery method, albeit an unreliable one, and also allowing it to absorb Milotic and Gengar's multiple uses of Hypnosis and Jynx's Lovely Kisses, certainly a desirable attribute if your team lacks a sleep absorber. A Magneton with the given bulkier spread is able to switch in relatively safely on all of the aforementioned three (with the exception being if Gengar carries the rather uncommon Fire Punch or Focus Punch). Thunderbolt and a Hidden Power of choice is preferred. Grass is preferable if Magneton is being used to assist something such as Dragon Dance Salamence, which positively sets up on Forretress (even surviving an Intimidated Explosion), but will struggle to deal with Swampert; Ice is also quite useful if you need Magneton to be able to hurt both Celebi and Dugtrio at the same time, but Fire should be used if Magneton is being used to support something like Metagross or Tauros which will struggle muscling past Forretress, and also stopping Forretress from easily laying down Spikes against the team. RestTalk Magneton is able to deter special attackers, such as non-Fire Punch or Focus Punching Gengar, RestTalk Zapdos, and Porygon2, due to its handy resistance to the BoltBeam combination, an attribute otherwise only held by the relatively uncommon Lanturn and Shedinja, whose viability is massively nerfed due to the ubiquity of Tyranitar and the sandstorm it brings about.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
16 Speed EVs on Magneton allow it to outspeed the surprisingly common 12 and 8 Speed Skarmory, while a large chunk of investment in HP grants it all the bulk it can possibly have while still keeping the large Special Attack investment necessary to OHKO specially defensive Skarmory, Forretress, and threaten RestTalk Zapdos outside of sand. An alternative EV spread for this set is 252 HP / 44 SpA / 204 SpD / 16 Spe with a Calm nature. This spread allows Magneton to switch into Gengar and the rarer offensive Zapdos far better due to the increased investment in Special Defense, whilst still OHKOing standard physically defensive Skarmory with Thunderbolt. However, it is a poor idea to rely on Magneton as a full-time sole special wall due to its extreme vulnerability to Dugtrio. Another issue with this spread is that specially defensive Skarmory will not be OHKOed and thus Magneton is failing to do its most important job, and also that defensive RestTalk Zapdos only takes "chip damage" from this spread. Especially outside of sand, Magneton will not have the necessary firepower to threaten it and the pair will enter a drab and painful stall war, which will usually end up with Zapdos winning and Magneton literally struggling. Toxic can be used over a Hidden Power slot because nearly all switch-ins to RestTalk Magneton are not immune to it, and many things which are will be reluctant to take a Thunderbolt. However, not using Hidden Power makes Magneton an even bigger goober to Dugtrio. Optimal partners for this set are physical sweepers which enjoy the absence of Skarmory and Forretress such as Gyarados and Salamence. Other physical sweepers such as Swords Dance Heracross, CurseLax, and Tauros, will also have a much easier time sweeping with Steel-types gone.
 [SET] name: EndSalac move 1: Thunderbolt move 2: Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice move 3: Endure move 4: Screech item: Salac Berry ability: Magnet Pull nature: Timid evs: 52 HP / 252 SpA / 204 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
The main trouble with the common Magneton is the tendency to be seized by Dugtrio's moley clutches at inopportune times. What if Magneton could turn the tables on Dugtrio and send it tunneling away back to its Poké Ball? This set is designed to complete exactly that function, and also after doing so potentially set up a revenge kill for your own Dugtrio. It is probably easiest to contextualize the moves on this set by inventing a common game scenario. After powering through Skarmory with a merciless Thunderbolt, the opponent brings in Dugtrio with a twisted grin smeared across his face as he clicks Earthquake. However, upon seeing the activation of a Salac Berry, the Dugtrio user adopts an expression of pure unadulterated terror. Dugtrio then proceeds to switch out as Magneton uses Hidden Power Grass or Ice, as both are viable options; Ice more so than on other sets due to Magneton's ability to outspeed Flygon after the activation of its Salac Berry. Hidden Power Fire should not be used on EndSalac Magneton due to the fact that Dugtrio is not OHKOed by it, and as such the purpose of the set is defeated. Most likely, the opponent will then switch out to Snorlax, Blissey, or Celebi to finish Magneton off while taking comparatively little from its attacks. As Snorlax, Blissey, or Celebi finishes Magneton off, Magneton Screeches so that the Adamant Dugtrio which follows up after Magneton's death can OHKO the aforementioned walls in sand—and Celebi—out of it.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Magneton's EV spread is designed so that it is able to outspeed Jolly Dugtrio at +1; maximum Speed investment comes two points short of outspeeding Timid Jolteon and Jolly Aerodactyl, and as such investing 204 Speed EVs is the most efficient spread. EndSalac Magneton is designed to be partnered with Dugtrio; the three moles are an essential teammate for this set, being a pivotal part of the strategy, as explained in the Set Comments. For the Screech + Dugtrio strategy to work at its best, Tyranitar's Sand Stream is very helpful in order to turn Dugtrio's close-to-OHKOs to OHKOs, such as those on -2 Blissey and Snorlax. Other teammates for EndSalac Magneton are those who can capitalize on the lack of walls, such as Skarmory and Celebi, which are removed by the pair. Standard Calm Mind Celebi, Dragon Dance Gyarados, and RestTalk CurseLax are examples of those who profit from the havoc wreaked and defensive holes punched by MagTrio. Magneton can also forgo Screech and use Metal Sound or a status move instead if Dugtrio is not being used, but despite being able to sweep sometimes late-game, the primary aim of this set is to work alongside Dugtrio and give it an easier time.
 [Other Options]
There are two moves that should be universally resident on Magneton sets—Thunderbolt and a Hidden Power of some ilk. Most of the viable options for the remaining two moveslots are listed in the above sets, but there are a few viable moves which could potentially be used. Protect has potential to be used above Substitute in conjunction with Toxic on Magneton's offensive set, but many things which Magneton connects with Toxic on the switch—Swampert and Claydol—are slower than an invested Magneton, and as such Substitute generally works better to stall for poison damage or force a Rest, due to the fact that Substitute can be used repeatedly without risk. However, Toxic in conjunction with Protect can potentially be effective for getting "chip damage" on a Flygon switch-in. Magneton can potentially use two status moves—Thunder Wave and Toxic—on the same set. Despite the supposed "increased utility" of such a set, in fact a double status set is rather pointless due to the fact that Magneton, in a normal game scenario, will generally only be able to use a status move once (or not at all) due to its frailty and as such poor switch-in capability on offensive moves. Magneton can also set up your screen of choice to help provide support for a sweeper after it bites the dust, although dual screens setup offense is a poorer strategy in ADV than later gens due to the fact that the immediate power of the offensive powerhouses of ADV is comparatively lower, as well as the ubiquity of bulky phazers. Magneton certainly isn't going to work as a bulky screening pivot. Screech can be used on non-Endure sets, but it is nowhere near as effective as on Endure sets.
 [Checks & Counters]
Like many other commonly seen Pokemon, Magneton carries the onus of being trapped and killed by Dugtrio. The moley cluster can either get in on Magneton on a predicted Thunderbolt, a smart double switch, or when avenging the death of its Steel-type teammate, prevent it from escape with its excellent ability Arena Trap, and bump it off with Earthquake. However, when switching into the magnetic trio, Dugtrio must take care to avoid coming in on Hidden Power or Substitute, especially if it has been revealed previously to the Magneton user. Magneton can also force Dugtrio back out of the fray with Endure and a Salac Berry. Magneton is stopped cold by special walls such as Blissey and Snorlax (especially Earthquake versions), although the latter will eventually be forced to Rest by repeated Thunderbolts, and may have a hard time, especially in sand. Calm Mind Celebi merrily sets up on Magneton, but may struggle against Metal Sound variants with Hidden Power Fire or Ice.

Other Ground-types also work well to counter Magneton due to its 4x weakness to their STAB Earthquakes, although they must be wary of super effective Hidden Powers. Flygon is probably the best to switch straight into Magneton, as Hidden Power Ice is the least seen listed Hidden Power on Magneton, and Flygon outspeeds Magneton and as such cannot be SubToxic stalled. Claydol makes an excellent Magneton counter due to its lack of 4x weaknesses to certain Hidden Powers and its high Special Defense stat. However, a Claydol without Rest may struggle against Magneton if the Magneton uses Toxic on the switch. Swampert, especially RestTalk variants, work well enough against Magneton as long as the possibility of Hidden Power Grass is respected. Ironically enough, Steelix works very well against Magneton with its immunity to both Toxic and Thunderbolt, and the fact that Magneton hits it only neutrally with Hidden Power Grass or Ice. Fire Punch or Focus Punching Gengar can lure Magneton in and hurt it badly. A good sector of the metagame can come into Magneton after it has trapped and killed a Steel-type and revenge kill it. In reality, it's not so much a case of countering Magneton, but a case of simply attacking when it is predicted to switch in and beating it down continually.

Exciting!!! I finally have a blog of my own, yeh! All the sudden, I can post my own thoughts and other cool things in my own "publication". Since I have never felt that I would ever be a good enough writer to publish anything, this is just a such remarkable event.
Anyway, since this is my first blog. I guess that I will keep it short. For a while, I had a not-so-positive impression about having someone's personal and sometimes random thoughts online for the entire world. I used to think that who would care about someone else's thoughts afterall. However, after reading many people's blogs, I actually like the idea of recording one's own feeling and thoughts at a particular moment some place on World Wide Web. It is such a cool way to communicate and exchange ideas with people who are on the other side world (Probably 12 time zones different than mine!)
Since I never got used to write a long story about anything, I will take a break now!
P.S. I will also write some of my posts in Chinese in the future, let's see how popular this idea will go!!!

My WordPress/wp-rss2.php did not validate. Where do I go to make the appropriate change?

My WordPress/wp-rss2.php did not validate. Where do I go to make the appropriate change?
Also, WordPress/index.php had a problem with validation. Where do I go to make the changes for that?
Post the validation errors here (or a link to your feed) so that we can see the issue? Since Thousands (or 10s of Thousands) of WP feeds *do* validate, let's not go hacking into core code until we can see what the issue actually is.
Oh - and you're running WP 2.0.4, yes?
As for the other issue, it would be your theme files that you want to change. Located under wp-content/themes/YourThemeName
...My WordPress/wp-rss2.php did not validate...
...Also, WordPress/index.php had a problem with validation...
Shot in the dark, but...
You have a blank line in the wrong place in a plugin or in some code you've modified yourself somewhere. That blank line is getting inserted before the DOCTYPE declaration on all your pages (because plugins happen before the page displays). This is why you are failing validation, not because of some problem with the RSS or the page itself. Find and remove that blank line before doing anything else.
Yes, I updated to current version.
Also, technorati.com keeps rejecting my blog.
Thanks for the reply,
Hello again,
There has been changes with validation.
Feed validator now states index.php and wp-rss2.php both validate, but commentRSS should be commentRss
W3C states index.php is valid but wp-rss2.php is not valid because of DOCTYPE. I am not sure if there is an unacceptable space between characters.
Umm.. Only wp-rss2.php is the feed. The Feed validator is only for validating feeds.
Similarly, the W3C thing isn't made to validate feeds, so putting your feed URL in there is pointless.
And you can fix the commentsRSS thing by simply editing wp-rss2.php and correcting the capitalization.
Thanks for the clarification.
Do you have any suggestions why technorati.com is rejecting the blog? I have not made any significant changes such as plug-ins since I upgraded.
I don't know what you mean by "rejecting" the blog, so I have no opinion. You'll have to give more information.
I cannot claim the blog. I am not given a claim number with html code to put in the blog or on the blog site. Therefore, it cannot be spidered by technorati.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

WASHINGTON A dearth of new programs, prospects for flat or declining defense spending and an aggressive Pentagon cost-cutting drive have revived talk of another big defense merger for the first time in years.
Boeing Co (BA.N) defense chief Dennis Muilenburg startled many this week when he told the Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit he would not rule out the possibility of a large-scale merger.
"I'm not going to rule out or rule in any options," Muilenburg told the summit on Tuesday. "Obviously, as we see defense budget pressure, that does at times lead to potential consolidation."
For years, industry executives had insisted that a wave of consolidation in the 1990s that winnowed the top tier of the defense sector to five big players had run its course.
Boeing was sending a clear message to shareholders that it would remain flexible heading into this phase of flat and declining defense spending, Richard Aboulafia, vice president of analysis for the Virginia-based Teal Group, told Reuters.
But it could also be sending up a trial balloon to gauge the Pentagon's reaction, he said.
Defense analyst Loren Thompson said weapons demand fell by 50 percent during the last two downturns, spurring earlier consolidation, and the same could happen again this time.
"That means that at least one of the big players will have to exit if we are facing a similar downturn in the years ahead," Thompson told the Reuters Summit.
"There's not enough business to go around," said one former senior military official who now works in industry, but who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) would be a good fit with Boeing, although there could be antitrust concerns about the two companies' space operations, Thompson said.
"Boeing has a big revenue shortfall on the defense side that it needs to cover. Buying part or all of Northrop could fix that problem, while giving it entry into the Joint Strike Fighter program," Thompson said, referring to the $380 billion Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) F-35 fighter program.
Northrop has a large role on the program, which Lockheed beat out Boeing to win in 2001.
Northrop Chief Executive Wes Bush told the Reuters summit that the defense contractor has no plans to break itself up, rejecting speculation that the planned separation of its $6 billion shipbuilding unit -- the latest reshaping of its portfolio -- could lead to a break-up of the whole company.
Asked about the likelihood of mergers between big defense companies, Bush said: "All companies have fiduciary obligation to shareholders to have an open mind ... But I would not forecast on the near-term horizon any large-scale activities."
Tess Oxenstierna, managing director with Bank Street, told the Reuters Summit that companies regularly reviewed their portfolios to adapt to changing times, but escalating budget pressures could cause more restructuring in coming years.
"What these defense firms are doing now is really defining what is core and what is growth," she said.
William Farmer, co-head of the aerospace and defense group at Lazard Freres & Co, discounted the possibility of a large-scale merger taking place.
"From a regulatory standpoint it would be difficult to have something like that," Farmer told the Reuters Summit. "If you listen to the government and the administration, they are not in favor of large-scale mergers and acquisitions."
But at the second tier and below, a big wave of consolidation was already under way, given that companies were facing the first major setback in defense funding since the September 11, 2001, hijacking attacks, he said.
The last big merger in the sector came in late 2001 when Northrop took over the Newport News shipyard, part of the division it is now looking to sell.
In 1998, U.S. antitrust regulators blocked Lockheed's merger with Northrop.
Any attempt at yet another large defense merger will run into similar antitrust scrutiny by the Pentagon and therefore would be unlikely to end up in a deal, L-3 Communications Holdings (LLL.N) Chief Executive Michael Strianese said.
"Whether five companies become four or three, I'll go out on a limb and say I doubt it. There would be concern that there would not be enough competition," he said.
When asked about a possible takeover approach by a larger company, Strianese said: "We always have to be mindful of our obligations to shareholders. We're not up for sale. I'm not going to say never. I don't know what industry peers are thinking."
Deal volumes in the aerospace and defense industry have reached $4.2 billion so far this year, up 45 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters data.
That remains far short of the $14 billion worth of deals consummated in 2008, the year when Italy's Finmeccanica SpA SIFI.MI bought U.S.-based DRS Technologies for $5.5 billion in the second-largest defense deal of the decade.

Well, we didn't open any gifts tonight. Guess that's gonna happen in the morning. I cleaned up all the dirty dishes after baking and then turned around and made more. I decided to prepare my food for tomorrow up to the point of baking so I wouldn't have to do it in the morning. I remembered that I had this cool tool from pampered chef that I could use to fill the won ton wrappers (in muffin tins), so that part turned out much easier and faster than I thought it would be. Alas, I needed to put these in the frig, which is stuffed, so I covered them all with aluminum foil, shoved the muffin pans in some big tupperware containers and put them out in the car in the garage. Yes, it's cold enough (upper 30's) to be a refrigerator. It's been raining most of the day, so I think they'll be fine out there.

Tough for this expansion we haven't focused as much on the progress as we would have wanted to, we expect in Legion and beyond to be more agresive when it comes to progression.
We are looking for smart players, players that can adapt fast to a fight, that can play multiple chars on par with their main char and players that know what modesty means.
We are not looking for imba, top logs and players that jesus christ himself gave birth to them, so please if you know you suck as a human being don't bother.
Yes you can but keep in mind we are not going to provide any raids for our casual members as there is no time or desire to give content to people that aren't going to play in our main team.

Bleeding Edge TV 317: Mac OS X Snow Leopard Video Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Software, Videocasts, Videos
A few days ago, we hit you with our Snow Leopard Review, and interspersed some videos into it. We admit, 2000 words may have been a bit much, and a bunch of you wrote in asking for one video review. Well, we've stitched together some of the Snow Leopard videos we've done, and put them all in one for a Snow Leopard video review. Mind you, this isn't a full review of the entire operating system. Instead, we take a look at four or five new things that you, as a user, will see as new, different, or enhanced. In this video we look at the Finder, Expose, Dock Expose, Stacks, and a comparison between Quicktime X and Quicktime 7.
We hope you enjoy it, but if you just want our quick opinion - go ahead and pick up Snow Leopard. It's worth it. In fact, you can pick up Snow Leopard at a discount on Amazon, saving yourself even more cash off the already inexpensive price:
- Snow Leopard Upgrade: $24.99 (14% off)
- Snow Leopard 5-User Family Pack: $43.99 (10% off)
- Snow Leopard Mac Box Set: $149.99 (11% off)
- Snow Leopard Mac Box Set Family Pack: $199.99 (13% off)
iPhone MMS officially launches September 25, misses "late summer" target
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones
It's official, MMS is coming to the iPhone 3G and 3GS on September 25th, according to AT&T. For those keeping track, that pushes the promise of "late summer" back to "early fall" since technically, summer ends on September 22nd. On the surface, it seems like not such a big deal, but it is just another straw that is being added to the camel's back as it pertains to AT&T. Many suspected that MMS would go live on September 9th, alongside the Apple iPod event scheduled for that day. Hey, better late than never, right?

Running Snow Leopard? You'd better upgrade Flash Player
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Internet, Software
Oddly enough, amidst all the tweaks, fixes, and refinements in Snow Leopard is an old version of the Adobe Flash Player. Specifically, the version of Flash Player that is included in Snow Leopard is 10.0.23.1. Problem is, the newer 10.0.32.18 includes fixes for a few security holes that, we assume, you'd prefer weren't left on your system. If you're running Snow Leopard and haven't upgraded Flash yet, head on over to the Flash Player download page to take care of it.

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Review (with video!)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Software, Videos
Mac owners, the time for upgrading is upon as, as Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is now available on a worldwide basis. If you didn't know that there was a new operating system from Apple today, we wouldn't blame you, because it's kind of been released without much fanfare. You see, Snow Leopard is all about fine tuning, refining, and improving upon OS X 10.5 Leopard. It's a makeover that, at first glance, seems underwhelming because the majority of the changes occur "under the hood" so to speak.
So, what can you expect? Well, if you've used an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 3GS, think of it in those terms. They are really pretty much the same product, but the 3GS is much snappier, and has a couple of new features that the 3G doesn't have, namely a better camera and a compass. Comparing Snow Leopard to Leopard is similar - you get speed, things feel faster, and potential is unlocked for the future, because there are some cool things that third-parties can tap into now.
Not everything is under the hood, though. You will see a few UI tweaks, like Dock Expose, right-click dock menus, Finder icons, and the like. We will cover all of those in more detail, but again, that isn't the focus here. If you are underwhelmed right now, read on, because there is a lot to be excited about. At the very least, though, understand that upgrading to Snow Leopard will cost you just $29. Now that we have your attention, let's move on. We've got videos for you, after the break.

Apple confirms September 9th rock and roll themed music and iPod event
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Software
Yup, we've suspected that September 9th was going to be the day that we'd see a bunch of new hotness from Apple as it pertains to music, namely iTunes and iPod-related announcements. Well, it's been confirmed, as Apple has started sending out invitations to a rock and roll themed event on the 9th, to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater. Expect the entire iPod line to be refreshed, with the exception of the shuffle, and with the focus being on the iPod touch and iTunes 9.
What do you hope we see next Wednesday?
Bleeding Edge TV 316: Yelp Monocle Hidden Feature Brings Augmented Reality to iPhone
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Apple, Cell Phones, Features, GPS, Handhelds, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos
My pal Robert Scoble announced that the Yelp iPhone and iPod touch app that was recently updated included a hidden Augmented Reality feature. Obviously, as soon as we saw, we had to give it a shot, and we figured we'd do it on video. Augmented Reality apps use the camera on the iPhone, along with overlaid information, to present location data while looking at the "real world" - it's very cool, and you can expect a bunch more of these types of apps to make an appearance on the App Store very shortly upon the release of iPhone OS 3.1.
In this demo, we show you how to unlock the Monocle mode in the Yelp app, and also give you a look at what exactly it does. For now, our early opinion is that it's a cool idea…it just needs to be refined a bit to be truly useful.
Have you pre-ordered Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Hot Deals, Software
Apple's next major operating system release, Snow Leopard hits stores and doorsteps this Friday, August 28th. That's at least 4 days earlier than even Apple estimated, as the expectation all along has been that Snow Leopard would see a September release. On Monday, the online Apple Store went down briefly, and when it came back up, Snow Leopard was center stage, announcing a delivery date of August 28th to customers who pre-order, so they'd get it the same day that it hit stores. If you haven't yet, Amazon has got some nice discounts:
- Snow Leopard Upgrade: $24.99 (14% off)
- Snow Leopard 5-User Family Pack: $43.99 (10% off)
- Snow Leopard Mac Box Set: $149.99 (11% off)
- Snow Leopard Mac Box Set Family Pack: $199.99 (13% off)
So, how about you? Did you pre-order Snow Leopard? Are you excited about it? Is it no big deal? Let us know, we wanna hear you.
New Mac OS X Snow Leopard Disc Art
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Design, Software
First thing we noticed after getting our hands on the latest Snow Leopard build 10a432? The new OS X install icon, which is usually indicative of how the disc is going to look. Goodbye purple galaxy goodness, hello big, snowy animal.
Apple Snow Leopard Developer Preview Update 10A432 now available, Golden Master?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Software
Progress on Apple's Snow Leopard is nearing completion, as the next version of Mac OS X is set for release sometime next month. To that effect, it is widely believed that today's Developer Preview seed, build 10A432, is the 10.6 Golden Master. One big change from the last few Snow Leopard releases is that this build needs to be installed fresh from a bootable partition or DVD, no more of that Software Update stuff. The download is 6.1GB in size, and if that isn't telling about the progress of Snow Leopard, we don't know what is.
It's almost here - can you feel it?
Unibody MacBook Pro 15-inch finally gets matte display option
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Design, PC / Laptop
When Apple launched the unibody MacBook Pros, one of the loudest cries we heard from the Mac community was in relation to the loss of the matte display option. You see, while Apple touted colors that "pop" a bit more off of the glossy screen, those of us who like to be, you know, mobile with our notebook computers, cried foul. The problem with a glossy-only option (or lack of option, really) is that if you are using your MacBook Pro in the sun, you essentially have a screen that can double as a mirror.
Well, Apple has heard those cries, and has finally brought a matte screen option to the 15-inch MacBook Pro, something that the 17-inch unibody version has had since the get-go. It'll cost you an extra $50 for the privilege, and you also lose the black "borderless" infinity bezel around the screen, and instead get a silver bezel like previous versions of the MacBook Pro.

Anything We Love Can Be Savedby Alice Walker
View All Available Formats & Editions
In Anything We Love Can Be Saved, Alice Walker writes about her life as an activist, in a book rich in the belief that the world is saveable, if only we will act. Speaking from her heart on a wide range of topics--religion and the spirit, feminism and race, families and identity, politics and social change--Walker begins with a moving autobiographical essay in which she describes her own spiritual growth and roots in activism. She goes on to explore many important private and public issues: being a daughter and raising one, dreadlocks, banned books, civil rights, and gender communication. She writes about Zora Neale Hurston and Salman Rushdie and offers advice to Bill Clinton. Here is a wise woman's thoughts as she interacts with the world today, and an important portrait of an activist writer's life.
NOTE: This edition does not include photographs.
Editorial Reviews
Amid the jumble are a handful of essays that do charm. My favorite is, surprisingly enough, an essay about Walker's longing for feline companionship. "Five years ago I decided I was ready to share my life with a cat. I had had cats before, but things had gone wrong," begins Walker. She then details her checkered past with two needy strays that cried ceaselessly while the writer meditated or worked. Despite her dismal track record (both cats were given the boot), Walker describes the hard-won peace she forges with the garrulous Frida in a nicely understated parable about accepting oneself and one's chosen companions, flaws and all.
Although Walker's tales of daily life can be amusing, some of her political speeches are sloppy. Off-the-cuff pronouncements are fine for the commencements or rallies where they were originally delivered, but they're tedious in print. Worse, when Walker rails against the West African practice of female genital mutilation, she squanders her opportunity to reach a broad audience by making her case far too subjectively, comparing the partial blinding she suffered in a childhood accident to the sexual "blinding" experienced by African women. Walker's wounded eye is such a weird and distracting metaphor for genital mutilation that it blinded me to her putative subject -- the widespread and sometimes fatal practice of female circumcision and infibulation.
As you read this collection, you can't help comparing Walker's work to that of another writer-activist -- Grace Paley. Paley's short stories and essays are so sturdily crafted that the social issues addressed become witty, alive and worth treasuring, while the pieces in Anything We Love often seem as worn and sad as castoffs that nobody's buying.--Salon

Hi there,
I am using More Fields 2.1 on a WP 3.3.1 install and I am experiencing the same problem described here (that topic is closed).
In Media Library dialogs (i.e. the one for selecting featured images), the list only shows 2 or 3 images per page, instead of 10.
At the moment I solved by adding the code snippet below (which is different from the one on the linked topic, because in the meantime the source code of the plugin has changed), but I would really appreciate if this will be fixed in next releases.
Here's the code (to be added in theme
functions.php or in a custom plugin).
add_action('init', 'mf_ml_workaround', 20);
function mf_ml_workaround() {
global $more_fields_rewrite;
global $pagenow;

PALM BAY, Fla. (AP) - Police in Palm Bay are searching for an 85-year-old woman with memory problems who has gone missing.
Authorities issued a Silver Alert last week when Frances Senter didn't return home, but they've made little progress since then on finding clues to her whereabouts. Foul play is not suspected.
Senter was last seen driving a gray 1991 Oldsmobile station wagon with the tag number X90 VGX. Senter had mentioned to her daughter that she'd like to visit her husband's grave in New Jersey, but Kathleen Senter notes that her mother doesn't have any money with her.
Florida's Silver Alert program was established last fall. It's designed to help find missing seniors with cognitive disabilities and is modeled after Amber Alerts used for missing children.

Published by G.P. Putnam's Sons
May 2006
Hardcover 434 Pages
D.M. Cornish explores the fascinating world of the Half-Continent through the eyes of his protagonist Rossamünd in his debut novel, Monster Blood Tattoo: Foundling. Cornish takes a very familiar premise as a launchpad for his story, as may be evident in the title – that of a foundling raised in an orphanage. The difference here is that Madam Opera's Estimable Marine Society for Boys and Girls is accustomed to helping young children fit into a world filled with monsters. While Cornish's world may have an almost British feel to it, the world of the Half-Continent has something the British Isles doesn't – Monsters.
Published by G.P. Putnam's Sons
From the outset, the protagonist, Rossamünd, has the deck stacked against him. Not only does he not know his parents, he is besotted with a girl's name, something his peers don't let him forget. By placing the story at Rossamünd's level, Cornish allows the reader to discover his richly-detailed world along with the Rossamünd. While Rossamünd may have some foreknowledge of the world, it is only through hints and books. The reader too, can only go by the hints Rossamünd shares, and the extensive appendices at the end of the book, totaling over one-hundred pages.
The detail and thought put into his world is indeed extensive, Cornish's many years of building up the world are evident throughout. The early portion of the novel, when Rossamünd is in Madam Opera's, should connect with the author's intended audience, young adults. Rossamünd is picked on and has to deal with stringent teachers and adults. He finds solace in the books detailing the monsters in his world, and more specifically the monster hunter's who earn, with each kill, the titular Monster Blood Tattoo.
With many Young Adult titles, a big part of the book is the packaging. PenguinPutnam, the publishers, have done a very nice job here. The book feels comfortable in your hands and has a nice cover by the author; Cornish started the storyline years ago in notebooks with his own drawings, he is now a professional illustrator. Throughout the novel, his nicely-rendered pencil drawings decorate full pages, in the form of character studies. The illustrations are also peppered in the appendices, providing a very immersive experience for the reader.
On the whole, I found the storyline very familiar, and as a result, a bit predictable. I also had problems with the phonetic spellings of some of the character's speech patterns, it may prove bothersome for some, fun for others. However, I suspect the book will do very well with younger readers, and I imagine they will have a great deal of fun with the book.

Vintage Signed Miriam Haskell Jewelry - Glass Baroque Pearls and Rhinestone 3 Strand Bracelet
This is a great Miriam Haskell baroque glass pearl bracelet. The clasp is over the top! Deeply layered in design, it is glamorous featuring seed pearls, multiple colored rhinestones, and a yellow plastic disk.
MARKS: Signed Miriam Haskell in an oval cartouche.
CONDITION: Very secure with a nice "click" to the clasp. On very close examination the seed pearls show some wear, but otherwise the glass baroque pearls and rhinestones are lovely. Overall it has a wonderful look.
SIZE: approximately 8" long. The clasp is 1-1/4" by 1-1/4".
HISTORY: Miriam Haskell began business in 1924 when she came from Indiana to NYC and opened a shop. She started the Miriam Haskell Company in 1926. No jewelry was marked in any permanent way from 1926 until 1947, and only occasionally marked from 1947 until 1949. Haskell sold her business in 1954 to Frank Hess and Morris Kensler, and it has had various owners since then. The company is still in business today.
Gender: Female, Age Group: Adult, Color: pearl / gold / topaz, Size: 8" long

I'd like to give the users some flexibility with my forms.
Is it possible to print what is on the page?
I.E. Print before you fill out the form for a blank form.
I.E Print after you filled out the form to sign and mail
3. I know we can email the form..
If Ninja doesn't do this, is there another plugin that will work with it?
Thanks for any help

This is a peppy salad that I loved. I used a Sprtzer Balsamic Mist as the dressing. For the orange I used a Satsumi orange but the Navel will be livlier in the flavor. Had to use a green Jalapeno but added a bit of sweet red pepper for the color Thanks Cheryl for a lovely Lunch
Definitely wanted to make this, what with the oranges & jicama, but the jalapeno was a bit too much for me so I substituted half a poblano for the latter ingredient! Still it made for a very tasty salad & a keeper of a recipe! Many thanks! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC cooking game]
I made a salad of romaine, raddicho, and spinach leaves with white balsamic and olive oil. This was the best topper I have ever had , sweet, hot, citrus, and crunchy all at the same time. This went well with some grilled shrimp. I will be making this recipe for a long time.
