Portugal's GDP to Shrink 2% This Year, Next on Added Cuts
Portugal's economy will shrink twice as much as forecast this year as the government implements additional austerity measures to qualify for an international aid package of as much as 78 billion euros ($116 billion).
Gross domestic product will decline 2 percent both in 2011 and 2012, Portuguese Finance Minister Fernando Teixeira dos Santos forecast today at a press conference in Lisbon to announce the bailout agreement with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. That compares with the government's March projection that GDP would shrink 0.9 percent this year and expand 0.3 percent in 2012.
Portugal resorted to the EU-led bailout after parliament rejected the government's latest round of spending cuts and tax increases to tackle the budget deficit, prompting early elections. The budget measures, which include freezing public-sector wages and cuts in pensions and jobless benefits, have sparked protests, with public workers planning another one-day strike tomorrow.
"It's a big hit," said Gustavo Bagattini, a European economist at RBC Capital Markets in London. " These measures will have a very large impact on the domestic economy."
Portugal is the third euro-area country to seek rescue aid from the EU and the International Monetary Fund, after bailouts last year of 110 billion euros for Greece and 67.5 billion euros for Ireland. Under Portugal's program, 52 billion euros of loans will come from the EU and 26 billion euros from the IMF.
Three Years
The IMF loans will have an interest rate of 3.25 percent for the first three years, and 4.25 percent after that, based on current rates, Poul Thomsen, head of the IMF mission in Portugal, said at a separate press conference in Lisbon. The EU portion will carry higher rates that have not been set yet. The aid will allow Portugal to avoid having to raise funds in bond markets for two years, Thomsen said.
The rates Portugal had to pay at debt auctions surged in the past year on concern the country would need a bailout. The two-year period "will give the government the breathing space it needs," Thomsen said.
Portuguese 10-year bonds fell today, snapping four days of advances as the aid negotiations neared completion. The 10-year yield rose 16 basis points to 9.68 percent as of 3:37 p.m. in London.
Austerity Measures
The package calls for Portugal to implement the austerity measures that the government proposed and parliament rejected in March. Spending reductions for 2012 and 2013, including cuts to pensions, will amount to 3.4 percent of GDP, while revenue increases will represent 1.7 percent of economic output, Teixeira dos Santos said. The plan also earmarks 12 billion euros for Portugal's banks.
The government will freeze public workers' salaries and pensions through 2013 and cut pensions or more than 1,500 euros a month. Tax deductions will be limited and the government aims to sell its stakes in companies including EDP-Energias de Portugal SA, the country's biggest electricity company, and REN-Redes Energeticas Nacionais SA, operator of the national power grid, by the end of this year.
"It's a very strong and very front-loaded fiscal program," the IMF's Thomsen said. "That is by any standard ambitious and a strong pace of adjustment."
The program will allow the economy to start recovering in 2013, Teixeira dos Santos said. The economy expanded less than 1 percent a year on average in the past decade, one of Europe's slowest growth rates. The unemployment rate, which stood at 11.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010, will peak at 13 percent in 2013, the finance minister said.
Aid Plan
Portugal's aid plan is set to be shorter than the 7 1/2-year maturities on the EU-IMF packages for Greece and Ireland. Greece pays an average 3.5 percent for the first three years of its plan and 4.5 percent thereafter. Ireland, which is trying to negotiate better terms, currently pays an average of 5.8 percent.
Portugal is heading for elections on June 5, after Prime Minister Jose Socrates resigned following the opposition's rejection of his deficit-cutting measures. He is governing with limited powers until the vote.
Socrates's depiction of the bailout agreement "as a big success" while he is seeking re-election constitutes "a slap in the face" to other countries, Frank Schaeffler, a member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's governing coalition, said today.
The Social Democrats and the People's Party, Portugal's biggest and second-biggest opposition parties, have said they support the program, while blaming Socrates, a Socialist, for requesting it.
The 78-billion euro package "is the bill, or the price of indebtedness of the last six years in Portugal," Social Democratic leader Pedro Passos Coelho said last night in a television interview. Socrates took office in 2005.

*Dr. Hubbard is very kind and concerned about my well being.
Dr. Hubbard is fantastic Doctor. He is very thorough and is very concerned for my health and very helpful. I recommend him and his team to everyone.
Dr. Hubbard in my opinion is the best in his field. He always takes time to explain to me what is happening with my knee and which direction we are going to go. Always makes me feel extremely comfortable and at ease.
Dr. Hubbard is excellent. He is obviously very intelligent and has proven to me he knows what he is doing. Throughout my visits with him, he has helped me understand what was going on with my injury and recovery. I feel very fortunate to be his patient and hope WFBMC does what is necessary to keep him!
I have never had a bad experience.
I would highly recommend Dr. Hubbard.
Dr. Hubbard is unique in that he did not just dictate to me what I should do about my knee problem. He asked me what my lifestyle was like and gave me options of treatment. His thoroughness answering my myriad of questions was wonderful. I will go to this doctor for any future sports injuries. I felt like an individual person not just the next patient on a daily schedule. Nowadays, that is important to me.
Dr. Hubbard did a great job working with me and scheduling surgery while I had time off so I could heal and not loose any work. Too think he would take the time out of his busy schedule is like a blessing from God! I would recommend him to everyone!
Very good.
Highly recommend Dr. Hubbard.
Extremely satisfied with care received from Dr. Hubbard and I have expressed that to family and friends. Davie Medical Center is fortunate to have him on faculty and hopefully will be able to keep him.
*Dr JB Hubbard is an excellent surgeon the best and most communicative I've ever dealt with (and I'm 82)
Very confident and knowledgeable caregiver, friendly and seemed very concerned about my injury
Great facility in all areas.Staff seemed very proud and happy about there jobs.
My daughter set this appointment for me to get a second opinion on my knee. She uses Dr. Hubbard for orthopedic problems. I am a retired RN.
*Dr. Hubbard shows his skills well & very compassionate. He's blessed.
I would recommend Dr Hubbard to anyone. I wish we had a Dr with his knowledge and expertise closer to where I live
very good--however as retired physician I do not believe my input regarding prior experiences with this problem were given adequate attention
I have great confidence in Dr, Hubbard.
Really liked Dr John Hubbard
Did use medical terms I'm familiar with he explained further of those meaning to family I had in the room as well.
I was impressed and 100% satisfied with each person involved in my care. Davie Medical Center is fortunate to be represented by the faculty & staff there.

Bayer 's ( BAYRY ) HealthCare
segment recently announced that it will present data from a Xarelto
clinical program at the XXIVth Congress of the International
Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis soon.
Xarelto is marketed by Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ) in the US and by
Bayer outside the US.
Data will be presented from the pivotal EINSTEIN program which
consists of three phase III studies on Xarelto in comparison to the
dual-drug regimen of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and
vitamin K antagonist (VKA) in patients suffering from deep vein
thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and the prevention of
recurrent DVT and PE. Bayer and Johnson & Johnson enrolled over
100,000 patients for the program around the world.
Results from the studies confirmed the effectiveness of Xarelto as
a monotherapy for the treatment of DVT and PE. Results further
revealed that Xarelto had a lower rate and severity of major
bleeding in comparison to dual-drug therapy of LMWH and VKA.
Xarelto was also found to be more cost-effective compared to
dual-drug therapy for treating PE and for the secondary prevention
of venous blood clots.
We note that Xarelto is already approved for several indications
in the US including stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial
fibrillation, DVT, PE and reducing the risk of recurrent DVT and
PE. In the first quarter of 2013, Xarelto sales increased 269% year
over year to €155 million.
Bayer and Johnson & Johnson are looking to expand Xarelto's
indication further. Successful label expansion will boost the sales
potential of the drug.
However, earlier in the year, Bayer and Johnson & Johnson
received a huge setback when the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) issued a second complete response letter for the supplemental
New Drug Application (sNDA) for Xarelto (2.5 mg twice daily) for
the reduction of the risk of secondary cardiovascular events in
patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome.
Bayer presently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Meanwhile, other
stocks such as Jazz Pharmaceuticals Public Ltd (
JAZZ ) and
Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) currently look
more attractive. While Jazz Pharma carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong
Buy), Novo Nordisk carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Issued at 325 PM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 High pressure will continue to build into the Great Lakes region and produce fair weather through Tuesday. A cold front moving in from the north will bring a small chance of a shower or storm late Tuesday night through Wednesday. Another low pressure system will bring a chance of showers and storms late in the week. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night) Issued at 325 PM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Short term fcst concerns are fairly minimal as high pressure continues to build in to produce fair weather tonight through Tuesday evening. There is potential for some patchy fog to develop during the early morning hours Tuesday primarily over our northern fcst area as winds go calm overnight. A backdoor cold frontal boundary moving in from the north will bring a small chance of a shower or thunderstorm very late Tuesday night across our northern fcst area. We will maintain low pops for a chance of a shower or storm across our area Wednesday as the frontal boundary continues to sink south across our area. Any convection that does develop Wednesday will be weak given weak instability and weak forcing with the boundary. Patchy fog may develop again Wednesday night as dew point values climb to the middle to perhaps upper 60`s ahead of the front. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Monday) Issued at 325 PM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Weak west-east oriented sfc frontal boundary which drops in from the north appears to stall over the region Thursday and Friday and should be a focus for scattered convection. The ECMWF shows a rather potent wave of low pressure moving along the boundary on Friday, and there is even a suggestion of heavy rain potential within the deformation zone of this system as the trough aloft digs and the upper low closes off. The GFS meanwhile does not look like the ECMWF toward the end of the week. It is much less amplified at 500 mb and shows only weak/progressive shortwaves in the northwest flow aloft. It does not show the Friday wave at all, and also builds the canadian sfc high farther south which pushes the sfc boundary farther south. The vast differences in the GFS/ECMWF model solutions toward the end of the week leads to a low confidence fcst. If the ECMWF solution verifies, a breezy/gloomy/showery Saturday could follow on the back side of the departing wave. Both models show the sfc high dominating on Sunday so perhaps a better chance for dry/pleasant weather for the second half of the weekend should Saturday be impacted by the ECMWF wave. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 145 PM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 VFR weather is expected over the next 24 hours with the exception of the risk of some patchy radiation fog late tonight into early Tue morning. Continued the theme of the previous TAFS, which advertises 3-5 mile MVFR vsbys from 09z through about 13z. Some IFR vsbys are possible too but dew pts have been falling today so still not confident enough to go with any IFR in the TAFs. && .MARINE... Issued at 325 PM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 High pressure will result in minimal wind speeds and wave heights through midweek with wave heights generally near to below two feet. Patchy fog may pose a hazard to mariners toward midweek as higher humidity levels return. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 1254 PM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 No river flooding is expected through the week. Area wide rain of around an inch with locally up to 3 inches (mainly near Lake Michigan) fell this weekend. A small chance of rain is in the forecast Wednesday through Friday. River levels have risen and are at or above normal for this time of year. Even with the precipitation, no rivers should approach flood level. && .GRR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...None.

Sufganiot (Hanukkah Jelly Doughnuts)
Total Time
Prep 40 mins
Cook 10 mins
These plain or jelly-filled doughnuts are a favorite treat in Israel and a sweet alternative to the traditional latkes. Few people say no to doughnuts and this variety fits any appetite. I generally make a double batch of dough, refrigerate it and pinch off portions as I need for fresh treats or for taking along to a Chanukah party.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄4 cups slightly warm water or 1 1⁄4 cups slightly warm milk
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 1⁄2-4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (or half all-purpose and half bread flour)
- fine sugar (for coating donuts) or sugar (for coating donuts)
- 1 1⁄2 cups raspberry jelly (optional) or 1 1⁄2 cups raspberry jam (optional) or 1 1⁄2 cups apricot jam (optional) or 1 1⁄2 cups apricot jam (optional)
- oil
- shortening (three parts oil and one part melted shortening for frying, to fill up a good two-thirds of fryer)
- Whisk together the yeast, water and sugar, salt, oil, egg yolks, egg, vanilla and lemon extract.
- Blend well and stir in most of the flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead by hand, machine or in bread machine (dough setting), adding flour as needed.
- The dough should have some body, not too slack, supple, smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased plastic bag and refrigerate at least 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
- If you are in a hurry, allow dough to rest at least 20 minutes, then proceed.
- If dough has risen at all, punch or flatten down, then pinch off pieces and form into small balls, about the size of golf balls.
- Otherwise, roll dough out to about three-quarters of an inch.
- Using a two and half inch or three inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds.
- Cover and let sit 15 minutes while heating oil.
- In a deep fryer, or heavy dutch oven, heat about four inches of oil or a combination of oil and melted shortening.
- Add the doughnuts to the hot oil (temperature should be about 375 F.) and fry until the undersides are deep brown.
- Turn over once and finish frying the other side.
- Lift doughnuts out using a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels.
- To fill, make a small opening and spoon in jam or jelly, or just sprinkle lightly with regular or extra fine granulated sugar by shaking doughnuts in a paper bag.
- Test oil temperature: It's a good idea to try frying one doughnut to start with.
- Once the doughnut seems done, take it out and cut it open to see if the inside is cooked.
Most Helpful
I made these for a 7th grade school project. The whole class loved them. I poked a hole in the doughnut and used mom's cake decorating bags and icing tips to squeeze the jelly in them.
These are heavenly!! The dough is a pleasure to use. The end product is fantastic. I filled some with strawberry jam/rolled in powdered sugar; some with homemade applesauce/rolled in cinn/sugar; & the rest were filled with a chocolate creme filling/rolled in powdered sugar. Next time I WILL make a double batch. Hats off to Mirj.
I can't say anything about the dough but I can tell you how you can put the jam in before frying. When the dough is ready, roll it out on floured surface to about 1/2 inch. You will have to do it in two batches.Use top of glass or cookie cutter to cut circles. Put 1/2 of tsp of jam on half of the circles, cover with the other half of circles, flatten edges a little bit and cut it out with the same cutter. Check if the cutting sealed the edge. And now it's ready to be fried with the jam already inside. It should have a yellow strip in the middle as when frying it flows in the oil and the middle is a little bit above oil level.

The day after we arrived home from our trip to the Cascades, we were forced to evacuate Los Alamos because of the encroaching Las Conchas fire. We frantically packed up our photographs, computer backups, and some other keepsakes. Jason and Allison convinced us to join them at Tres Piedras, so we took some camping and climbing gear as well. Hagen and Claudia decided to make it their evacuation destination as well. We setup camp in a smokey stand of Ponderosa Pines. It was disturbing to drive 80-miles from home and still be in such thick smoke.
After the first day, Jason and Allison moved on to Taos where they would climb Wheeler Peak the next day. Hagen and Claudia stuck around with us, and we headed to Beastie Alley, a small slot canyon on Mosaic Rock, in order to avoid the sun and smoke. Here, Hagen gives Claudia some beta for a foot hold on the bouldery start of the climb.

The smoke was pretty intense by the end of the day.
The smoke created an eery sun.

"Intruder alert!"
After just two days at Tres Piedras, Carson National Forest was closed by the Forest Service, forcing us to vacate our camp. We were scheduled to watch Gretta for Miles for the week, so we went to Santa Fe to pick her up. Miles and Cindy were crashing at one of Brandon Gabel's vacant apartments. After a night on the Gabels' couch, we headed to Turkey Rock near Colorado Springs to meet back up with Hagen and Claudia.
Our truck was overdue for an oil change as I had intended to do it once we returned from our Cascades trip. To get by, I changed the oil filter in the parking lot of an auto parts store along I-25. Sarah let the dogs nap in the shade beside the building.
On the way to the camping area, Hagen spied a red fox and its two pups along the side of the road. I made a separate album with more photos and a couple videos.
We found a gorgeous place to camp near Turkey Rock. We were relieved to finally be out of the smoke.
In typical German fashion, Hagen and Claudia dug a trench around their tent.
The first day, we climbed at Turkey Perch, a great single pitch area with an easy walk off. Sarah and I had never done much crack climbing, and we really tired ourselves out.

Claudia looking for a hold high up on the wall

The following day, we went to Turkey Rock to do some longer, multi-pitch routes. The few easier routes involved a lot of offwidth cracks, which didn't sound appealing to Sarah and me. We decided to do the same climb as Hagen and Claudia, Gobbler's Grunt (5.9), which the guidebook described as "one of Colorado's best crack climbs." Here's Claudia starting up the first pitch. She's crazy smooth and made it look easy. I did not.
Claudia getting down to business
Hagen keeping a close eye on Claudia as she nears the crux, a small roof with tricky feet.
Claudia nearing the huge belay ledge at the top of the first pitch. The second pitch (5.9) continues up twin cracks to a cramped belay stance inside an overhang (just below the obvious notch on the skyline). The final pitch (5.7) continues left from the belay up a diagonal crack to some runout face moves before reaching the top.
Here's the last shot we have from this area. It's me just below the crux roof on the first pitch. By the time Sarah and I finished this climb, we were completely wiped out. The first two pitches were by far the most difficult trad leading I had done, and it took its toll on me (mentally and physically). I was thankful to hand the rack to Sarah for the final pitch. Hagen and Claudia squeezed in a second climb before the afternoon storms arrived. Those two are fast! Once back at camp, we packed up and headed toward Salida to hike Mt. Ouray the following day.

Ranking Lists - 2013 Finalised
Friday, 29 November 2013 13:11
There are few surprises as those Nations that have dominated in different disciplines continue to do so, however in one or two cases the failure to enter every possible First Category Event has had an impact.
Freefall Style and Precision Accuracy:
In the Male event the first position is spread between countries, for Accuracy : Slovenia, Style : the Czech Republic and Overall : Russia. Russia however wipes the board in the Female events taking first position in Accuracy, Style and Overall.
Formation Skydiving;
The dominance of Belgium (first place) continues in the 4-Way Open event; however despite France's dominance of the 4-way Female event, first position goes to USA because they competed in all 5 of the FCE's in the 4 years that count. France continued their dominance of the 8-way and VFS events, but UAE are now in second place in VFS which could make 2014 interesting.
Artistic Events,
Great Britain take first place in Freestyle despite France's dominance, due to consistence of entry but France retains their first position in Freefly.
Canopy Piloting
Continues with the dominance of the USA taking first place in all 4 elements of this discipline.

Another first for Dubai
Tuesday, 05 November 2013 15:01
Jarrett Martin, a Junior member of the USA Freefall Style & Accuracy Team qualified to compete at the 4th DIPC (Dubai International Parachuting Championships) – however Jarrett is different from other competitors in that he is paraplegic. So USPA sought the agreement of the organisation in Dubai for Jarrett to enter.
The response was an emphatic yes "We should do everything in our power to support such a young man's athletic desire and ideals"
This is Jarrett's story – his refusal to allow the results of his accident to alter his drive and determination to follow his sport and achieve his goals is truly inspiring:

Qualitative Research
Quantitative Research
Qualitative vs. Quantitative Approaches
"Quantitative and qualitative research methods are not and should not be mutually exclusive."
Choice of research design is usually dominated by the appropriateness of quantitative or qualitative methods. Qualitative methods are grounded in the normative paradigm and have come to mean the collection of data not easily reduced to numbers (Reichardt & Cook, 1979). Quantitative methods are grounded in the positivist paradigm and have come to mean the collection of data appropriate for statistical analysis (Reichardt & Cook, 1979).
When discussing in detail whether quantitative and qualitative research methods are not and should not be mutually exclusive, I will consider the application and limitations of both approaches. The discussion will conclusively lead back to the original statement and its significance to research planning. Firstly however I will define qualitative and quantitative research and outline the main characteristics of each research method.
Qualitative Research "is of specific relevance to the study of social relations" (Flick 2002:2). It is a broad term for a variety of research approaches, and can serve as a means of understanding why and how people behave as they do in the light of their multivalent identities or what Habermas (1996) calls "new obscurity".
Due to qualitative research being a field of enquiry rather than a single entity, it is hard to find one universally accepted definition of it. According to Flick (2002:11), the qualitative research process "[c]an be presented as a path from theory to text and another from text back to theory". It is usually conducted in a natural setting by a researcher who is involved in, and may be a part of, the data collection process. Creswell carries this view even further by designating that "the researcher tries to minimize the distance between him- or herself and those being researched "(Creswell 1994:6). This means that the goal is to gain an in-depth, holistic perspective of groups of people, environments, programs, events, or any phenomenon one wishes to study, by interacting closely with the people one is studying. That however, leads to the criticism that qualitative procedures can never be completely value-free. Therefore, qualitative approaches to research, when compared with quantitative approaches, are usually less widely valued as a source of evidence. One could counter this criticism by pointing out that interpretation is also necessary in quantitative research, since even statistics need to be interpreted.
Other features of qualitative research include that the data are usually in the form of words or pictures, rather than numbers, and that the analysis is inductive.
Inductive analysis means that variables, relationships and theories are constructed after reflecting on the collected data, rather than a design that tests whether data support pre-established definitions and theory (Flick 2002: 11-13).
Qualitative methods are best understood and described "[u]sing a processual perspective"(Flick 2002:1), which implies that the research process is at least as important as the issue under study. This again leads, as the Department of Linguistics and Modern English Language at Lancaster University (LAMEL, 2006) points out, to one of the major criticisms of qualitative approaches in that
[t]heir findings cannot be extended to wider populations with the same degree of certainty that quantitative analyses can. This is because the findings of the research are not tested to discover whether they are statistically significant or due to chance.
Some of the features and limitations of qualitative research have been described. I will now look at Quantitative research in the same way so that comparison can be made.
Similarly to qualitative research, quantitative research is not a single entity but encompasses a variety of research designs. Quantitative analysis, under specific conditions, provides statistically reliable and generalisable results. Features are classified and counted in quantitative research and, sometimes complex, statistical models are constructed in an attempt to explain what has been observed.
Findings can be generalised to a larger population,[…], so long as valid sampling and significance techniques have been used. Thus, quantitative analysis allows us to discover which phenomena are likely to be genuine reflections of the behaviour of a language or variety, and which are merely chance occurrences. The more basic task of just looking at a single language variety allows one to get a precise picture of the frequency and rarity of particular phenomena, and thus their relative normality or abnormality (LAMEL, 2006).
The social sciences, and especially psychology, have been predominately used quantitative research. To attempt to guarantee objectivity, effects and causes have been isolated, findings have been generalised, and statements have been made as independently as possible. However, the picture of the data which emerges from quantitative analysis is less rich than that obtained from qualitative analysis and, as a consequence, social science results were perceived as being too far away from everyday questions and problems. Researchers thus have not been able to derive meaning from experimental research (Flick 2002:2-4). Another reason supporting this view, or in other words promoting qualitative inquiry, is the premise that human behaviour is significantly influenced by the setting in which it occurs. Thus one must study any particular behaviour in its context. One cannot understand human behaviour without understanding the framework within which subjects interpret their thoughts, feelings, and actions (Flick 2002:6-7).
Definitions, applications and limitations of qualitative and quantitative approaches have been given. In summary, and to allow a clearer comparison, the features of each approach are illustrated and contrasted in the following table.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Feb 01st, 2005
Running Time: 156
Company: Sineplex Entertainment
Cast: Trulee, Marina (I), Alexandria (I), Katrin (I), Wiska, Sonea, Christen, Flora
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Fans of Euro action and threesomes will be especially glad to see this stocked.
Besides being envious of the lucky male firmly sandwiched between two luscious overseas babes, this should also be quite entertaining. Picture two girls, lying spread open and on top of one another, as the guy starts with the top hole and works, or slides, down until all orifices are treated to dick visitation. Pick a hole, any hole. Damn.
One of the girls, Flora, has what is affectionately known in the biz as Tracy Lords tits. Her scene with Trulee and their male companion of the moment is a joy to watch, and their affectionate kissing to slurp up the semen is a fitting finish to a fun facial.

My son James, deploys tomorrow to Afghanistan. He is in the Army 82nd Airborne, stationed at Ft. Bragg.
James was a late bloomer to join the Army last year at nearly 29 yrs old. He has made MANY sacrifices in his life to support our country. When he leaves tomorrow, he will be saying good bye to his wife, his 5 yr old daughter and his 3 1/2 month old daughter.
Please keep James and his family in your prayers. This Mom is being a Mom and not dealing with it too well.

I know the feeling well. My son has done 2 tours in Iraq, my son in law is 3 months into his first there. My son left his wife at Ft. Lewis, 1800 miles from home and the son in law left a wife and my 18 month old grandtwins at Ft. Carson, 500 miles from home. He will be fine, he is with his brothers in arms. They have trained together, they know each other, they will be together during this deployment, they will take care of each other.
If you have the family with you, be strong together. If not, try to visit them from time to time. It will make all of you stronger and get you thru this. Every morning I manage to wake up, I say a little prayer for mine over there, I will add James to the list.
A person is justified in the use of deadly force, if such person reasonably believes deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to such person or a third person.
Best of luck to you and yours. Support for the troops is nice, but oftentimes the wives (at least in my experience) are mostly left to fend for themselves. If I know my wife and kids are OK, it frees me up to do what I need to do.

Tearing my hair out using Cart66-lite v1.3:
I want to use
[checkout_paypal_express] to sell downloadables.
Everything goes smoothly to a point:
- Add to Cart
- View Cart
[cart mode="read"]
- Checkout
- Redirected to Paypal, successful payment
- Returned to the site /store/express/
[express], and I see: "Your Cart is Empty, Continue Shopping", then "Billing Info (correct)" and "Complete Order".
- Clicking Complete Order takes me to /Store/Receipt/ which is almost complete, but has no product in the table, a $0 total, and no download link :(
I'm pretty sure that I know how it SHOULD function, because if I set a product to user-defined price, then I see a read-only cart at /store/express/ and the correct receipt complete with download at /store/receipt/.
[checkout_paypal_express] fails for products with set-price and variables which change the price, but works for user-defined price.
[checkout_paypal] works as advertised, but I'm not automatically returned to the website, which is not great for business :(
I'm really keen to subscribe to Pro, but I'm leery of committing given that
- the free version isn't working for me out of the box, and
- I can't see the support forums to get a feel for how satisfied / supported people are there.
I don't want a free product - I want to evaluate the Pro!
Fingers crossed - this (major) issue aside, the process has been vastly preferrable to working with WPEC!
Hopefully bold text makes the long post intelligible :)
Cheers, Tim

Research Institution:
AbstractNALAS proposes to address the challenge for novel fluorine-containing propellant components with a 3-fold approach: 1. Synthesize a fluorinated analog of BTTN as novel fluorinated plasticizer. 2. Prepare fluorinated analogs of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). 3. Prepare a novel fluorinated energetic polymer via the functionalization of polyepichlorohydrin (PECH-triol) with the fluorodinitroethanol (FDNE) motif. NALAS believes that this approach will enable direct comparison of the properties with materials that are well-established in the energetic community. Fluoro-BTTN and fluorinated HTPB have the potential to offer the desired benefits while conserving the physical properties of the original compounds. In parallel, a novel energetic polymer containing fluorine atoms has never been prepared to our knowledge and could offer promising properties and spur further research in this field.

Comments about '401(k) vs. IRA: 5 key differences'

The author of the article does readers the disservice of not distinguishing
between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA. She seems to be talking about a
Traditional IRA.
This is a major oversight, because for many people in the normal income ranges in Utah, a Roth IRA will be a clear choice over a Traditional IRA.

"The beauty of these retirement savings accounts is that your contributions
are pre-tax, meaning those funds aren't subject to federal income taxes
before they're withdrawn in retirement."
Maybe I misunderstood, but, when the author says "pre-tax" it sounds like you can buy into an IRA before you're taxed on your check. Which isn't true. You pay your taxes first, then from your net you can buy into an IRA. When you withdraw money from the IRA, you are not taxed.
Whereas the 401k you can pay into with your gross pay check, and then you're taxed later when you withdraw money.

Contributions to a traditional IRA reduce your taxable income for the year you make the contribution. The account grows without being taxed each year; however, when you begin taking distributions once you retire this money is taxed as ordinary income. Contributions to a Roth IRA do not reduce your taxable income for the year you make the contribution. The account grows tax free. There are no taxes on the money you take from this IRA once you retire.

SNL vs MADtv
So which of these do you think is better, if you watch. I think that SNL is better cause MADtv is just nasty. But what do any of you think.
Haha! I love them both! Mad TV cracks me up...! :lol:
Mad TV hands down. Mad magazine is even better.
Can't say I like either. I just don't find humor in it...
I love Mad! Mad Magazine and the show! I love Michael McDonald on the show... how he plays Stuart... and he always seems to make the other cast members laugh when they're not supposed to...
But about SNL... it's not as funny as it used to be... I liked it with John Belushi and Dan Ackroid (sp..?) and Chris Farley...
I like MadTV more. I also like The Carol Burnette Show reruns, but I am probably alone on that one. Hee hee hee...
MAD tv. ^^ I just like it more...SNL...it alittle annoying.
I looooove MADtv!I personally find SNL little over-rated,and it's really long.
:roll: And that represents the people at the SNL forum who are annoyed by the those here that are actually saying that SNL is worse than MADtv, when SNL has better skits, and MADtv is just disgusting, but that is what they say. Thjough since I am one of them, I agree with them.

Wonderful, light, easy recipe!! I prepared this and put it into a homemade graham cracker crust, topped with sliced strawberries. I brought it to the inlaws for Easter dinner. It was a huge hit! No one would guess it was this easy!! This is definitely in my top 10 dessert list!! Thanks
This was a nice refreshing dessert. I think it would be wonderful on top of angel food cake with berries during the summer too!
Very, very easy dessert. I rated it 4 stars based on taste. I would prefer a slightly stronger lemon flavor and a bit sweeter, but it couldn't have been quicker to put together. Thanks for sharing!
This would be great to use when making a lemon curd and fresh fruit trifle. I will try this recipe instead of making the lemon curd. How easy!
This is really really good. I will make this again and again. I will try adding some fresh lemon zest or juice to my next batch to make it a little more lemony. Personal taste. Thanks

STEVEN GRASSE, 49, of Society Hill, is CEO of Quaker City Mercantile, a Center City branding firm that serves as the hub for mostly craft-spirits brands Grasse develops, brings to market and manages. He also acquired a 72-acre farm in New Hampshire and plans to open a micro-distillery there in 2014.
Q: What does QCM do?
A: We're a branding-management company. We create a brand, find a partner to distribute and then stay on to manage. We sold Sailor Jerry [rum] but signed a long-term contract to manage it. We did the same with our flagship store Art in the Age. We also created Hendrick's Gin, which, along with Sailor Jerry, are probably the most famous spirits brands in the last 20 years.

Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann will debate in New Hampshire
Will he call her a "pain in the ass" and threaten to "rip her lungs out" in person?
Will she remember to look into the right camera and get her Revolutionary War history straight?
Those questions and more may be answered when Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty show up for a televised Republican presidential debate on June 13 in New Hampshire.
It will be the first time the two Minnesotans will have shared a debate stage.
And it will be the first time the country can try and figure out whether Bachmann is anything more than a media phenomenon.
Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum will also take part. CNN's John King will be the moderator.
Bachmann has yet to officially announce her candidacy, and it's pretty clear that the Pawlenty camp is getting tired of her. Twice in recent weeks his surrogates have called her "a pain in the pass."
And who can blame them, really? For months, Pawlenty has carefully orchestrated a political operation, while Bachmann seems to just show up on Fox News and Facebook and steal his Minnesota thunder.
But that may be changing.
We don't want to put too much stock in one survey's results, but we noticed that T-Paw has surged in the latest Public Policy Polling numbers, tucking into third place behind Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin.
Bachmann's in sixth place, down in Ron Paul territory.
Given the choices of Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, and Mitt Romney, who would you most like to see as the Republican candidate for President next year?
Mitt Romney: 16% Sarah Palin: 16% Tim Pawlenty: 13% Herman Cain: 12% Undecided: 12% Michele Bachmann: 9% Ron Paul: 9% Newt Gingrich: 9% Jon Huntsman: 4%
More reading of the tea leaves: A Palin run may be curtains for Bachmann, who holds 9 percent support with Palin the in the race. Without Palin, Bachmann pulls even with Pawlenty at 13 percent.
If Sarah Palin didn't run and the choices were just Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, and Mitt Romney who would you most like to see as the nominee?
Mitt Romney: 20% Tim Pawlenty: 13% Michele Bachmann: 13% Newt Gingrich: 13% Undecided: 13% Herman Cain: 12% Ron Paul: 11% Jon Huntsman: 4%
Palin? Yesterday she was gallivanting around New Hampshire, coincidentally on the same day Mitt Romney surprised absolutely no one and formally announced his candidacy. And just to prove how boring Romney really is, Palin's media circus was splashed big across the front page of the biggest paper in the state, while Romney's photo op barely rated a single column blurb:
Mitt who?

- By date
The script is so thinly written that the main characters are defined almost entirely by the actors playing them. Fortunately, seasoned pros Slater, Rhames and Cromwell are able to flesh out their boilerplate parts.
Christian "Direct-to-Video" Slater lends not a shred of credibility to the role of Craig MacKenzie.
This is a film so bad that not only was it not screened in advance for critics, it's publicists wouldn't even provide background information. It might as well have been entered into the Witness Protection Program.
For the cast, shooting the movie (in Ukraine) may have been a working vacation, but for viewers, watching it is an excruciating sentence of hard labor.

I don't really like the Eclipse IDE, since I found Netbeans much more usable, but Android development strongly encourages to do so. What my main problem with Eclipse is, that it's really ugly. Which would be no big deal, but I have a small screen, and it's filled with unnecessary paddings for tabs, and such. It would be much more usable if I could somehow force Eclipse to look more native. I ask this, because there were similar questions for older versions of Netbeans, or for versions on specific platforms, and solutions existed.
By the way I'm using Eclipse 3.7.0 from the Ubuntu 11.10 repositories.
Thanks for efforts!

Short Range Forecast Discussion
Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
408 AM EDT Sat Jun 7 2014
Valid 12Z Sat Jun 7 2014 - 12Z Mon Jun 9 2014
An active weather pattern is forecast to continue across the central
Plains and into the Deep South with a stationary front in place through
the weekend.
Disturbances aloft, along with an abundance of moisture and
instability in place, are expected to result in the development of
multiple mesoscale convective complexes, or MCSs.
These will be capable of producing localized flash flooding and severe weather.
Very warm and humid conditions extending into Texas and the Deep South will provide an environment favorable for scattered to numerous showers and storms, mainly during the afternoons and evenings.
Across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, much cooler weather has arrived after the passage of a cold front from Canada.
This quality air mass by June standards will be featured by cool, crisp mornings, and mild afternoons.
A few showers will be possible over the western Dakotas and into Wyoming and Montana on Saturday, but it should be dry farther to the
east towards the Upper Midwest once the showers and storms with the cold front moves out of the area.
Elsewhere across the continental U.S., the West Coast is expected to stay dry through this weekend with no weather disturbances expected to affect that region.
It will be very hot for the Desert Southwest with high temperatures approaching 110 degrees for the lower elevations of interior southern California, Nevada, and Arizona.

We're Building a New Animal Shelter!The Humane Society purchased land from the City of Geneseo in January, 2013. The land is located east of the current shelter, and includes the dog park, the pavilion, and the land between the pavilion and the road to Cole Cabin. In March, 2013, a contract was awarded to Bob Johnson Construction of Geneseo to build a steel pole building on the site. The building is 50 'X 80' with a 30' X 40' attached storage garage. A contract was awarded to Specht Construction of Annawan to pour the concrete for the foundation and the floors. A contract was awarded to IEFM Consulting Engineers of Coal Valley to design a HVAC system that would be energy efficient. In October, 2013, a contract was awarded to DeDecker Plumbing and Heating in Atkinson for the plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The building shell, drains, foundation, concrete floors, and radiant floor heating is completed.
The public capital campaign was launched on September 20, 2014, in conjunction with the dedication of the dog park, now named Prairie Paws Park. Naming sponsorships and special recognition levels are listed below. If you have any questions about the new shelter or would like to go on a tour, please contact Karen Russell at (309) 945-2916.
Our 2015 "Bark in the Park" race is completed. We will soon have this year's pictures at our new website GeneseoBarkInThePark.com.

Our section of the building has four (4) dog kennels and a large cat area where the kittens and cats live in commune style. Our Humane Society is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit agency located at 14606 Roos Hill Road in Geneseo, Illinois, and is operated on donations from the public. All donations go directly to help with care of our animals while we look for a permanent home for them. We have five part time employees that have the responsibility of keeping the shelter clean. The rest of the shelter work and fundraising is done totally by our volunteer organization. We are a growing group of caring volunteers. If you would like to help with the hands-on care of our Shelter Orphans or assist with the fundraising needs of the Humane Society, please call the Henry County Humane Society-Geneseo anytime at 309-944-4868.

All adoption fees are $50.00 for cats, $100.00 for dogs, $60.00 for unneutered kittens (includes a voucher to have the kitten neutered when it reaches four pounds), and $125.00 for puppies. This fee includes all up to date vet work, spaying/neutering, microchipping and any other needed treatments. All animal adoptions have a contract to cover areas of care, health, return policy, and responsibility. Adopters will be contacted within one month after the adoption to assess the medical, behavioral and overall well-being of the adopted pet. Any animal adopted that is too young to be spayed/neutered must sign a contract and leave a $25 refundable deposit that promises the animal will be altered once it reaches at least four pounds. Kittens will be spayed or neutered at Miller Vet's Atkinson, Illinois clinic or their Geneseo, Illinois clinic at no cost to the adopter. (If you choose to use another veterinarian, your $50.00 adoption fee will be refunded when proof of the spay/neuter is presented to the Humane Society.)

Like banana splits and malts, ice cream sundaes are a legendary diner or restaurant dessert. They're also incredibly fun to make. All you'll need is some ice cream, a bunch of toppings, and a little imagination.
- Ice cream (any flavour)
- Ice cream sauce (chocolate, caramel, whipped cream, etc.)
- Toppings of choice, optional
- Fruit, optional
- Honey, optional
1Choose your serving bowl. Ice cream sundaes are delicious in any kind of container. Most common are round dishes, regular bowls, tulip sundae glasses, or plastic cups. If you are thinking about making a banana split, you may want to use a long, oval-shaped bowl.
2Create your sundae base. Place two to three generous scoops of your favorite ice cream on the bottom of the dish. Plain vanilla ice cream is a classic ice cream to use for a sundae, but you can also get creative and use an ice cream you've never even tried before.
3Drizzle sauce on top of the ice cream. The classic sundae sauces include melted hot fudge, warm caramel, or strawberry. It really helps to warm the sauces up before putting them on your sundae because they drizzle more easily onto the ice cream when they are warm. Either use a spoon to scoop the sauce onto your sundae or buy the sauces that come in a squeezable container.
4Add toppings. The sky is the limit for this step--you can use whatever toppings your heart desires. Some common toppings include sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, candies like M&Ms, and shredded coconut. Of course, whatever you have around the house is fair game--add some chocolate chips, some sliced up fruit, or some gummy bears.{largeimage|Make an Ice Cream Sundae Step 4.jpg}}
- You could also consider crushing up your favorite candy bar and adding it to your sundae.
5Add some whipped cream on top. Spray a lovely spiral on top of your sundae and then add a maraschino cherry for the finishing touch. Enjoy!AdAdvertisement

PLYMOUTH – Police say a 53-year-old Plymouth man was the victim of a fake kidnapping scam Thursday afternoon in which a caller claimed the man's wife had been in a car accident and was being held against her will and would not be released until he paid $1,000. The man was told not to try to contact his wife but to pay the money immediately. A second transaction took place, according to police, and the man paid what the caller demanded only to find out later that his wife was safe and sound at a doctor's appointment. Police are urging residents not to do any unsolicited business over the phone. Scam artists are using threats of all kinds to terrify victims into surrendering money. They pose as IRS represenatives, law enforcement, computer technicians and, in this case, kidnappers to wrestle cash from unsuspecting victims. If you receive a call like this, contact police immediately and don't give the caller any information or money.

Two Bedford County residents have been charged with lighting two cars on fire, in connection with separate incidents at Raintree Village Apartments.
According to Bedford Police Chief Todd Foreman the police began investigating the car fires after receiving a call on Sept. 17 about a car on fire. Officers arrived to find the car fully involved in fire, he said.
The Bedford Fire Department put the fire out.
Two teachers from Liberty High School have teamed up to provide a dinner and a show Sept. 26 at the Sedalia Center.
Liberty High School Theatre will present "Stand Alone" in the dinner theatre performance, which will feature a collection of female monologues.
The Theatre and Family and Consumer Science departments teamed together to put on the dinner theatre which will include the show, dinner, dessert and coffee.
Liberty High School reached the half-century mark this year and its first graduating class, the class of 1965, is holding its 50th reunion next month.
