You know, I noticed you carefully avoided mentioned the results about 13% of the
respondents, which may have responded negatively.
Frankly, I would fall into that category. The reasons: I find much downtown overpriced, from restaurants to shopping and since many of the chains have stores closer to me, they do not have much of a draw for me.
Another reason is maybe somewhat unfair, but I remember some very bad treatment of locals during the 2002 Winter Olympics, it was as if to say go home while the real people are here.
Finally, it is not convenient to go downtown.
All in all, for me at least it is not worth the effort for anything but a very few instances to go downtown.

Down town is great! I live in sandy commute each day and love the development and growth that is occurring. Mayor Becker is doing an outstanding job of moving the city in a positive direction. The chamber is working hard to make downtown the place to be. It has a great feeling and I enjoy the ability to get off the train and walk. In 10 minutes you can go from City Hall to Gateway. The new construction is wonderful and I have not been inconvenienced by at all. I travel a lot in my business and other than New York and a few other cities there is no where like home!

Parking is the #1 reason I don't go downtown. I wnet to the Olympic event downtown 7 was treated quite well. They need to fire the meter maids & let everybody park for free if they are serious about getting people downtown.

You mentioned people coming downtown to see the "holiday" lights. What is it with you media types and your PC stupidity. It is Christmas lights that people come to see. It is Christmas that people celebrate. If someone is offended, that is their right. They need to grow up! You need to forget that PC crap.

I miss going downtown in the days when Keith Warshaws, Penneys, Alpha Books and other book stores were there and the CrossRoads and ZCMI Malls. I don't know where Tony Wellers Book Store will end up. I miss the many(atmospheric)theaters we used to have. The newer Broadway Theater (functional) helps some, although the building style is not attractive to me and the prices are so high. City Weekly stopped giving out free movie tickets.I don't waste time on sweepstakes to win movie tickets or anything. Now all that is left for me is the main library (& the Writing Center there), and EBORN Bookstore, Ken Sanders Books & Utah Books & Magazines. Sugarhouse is looking good to me despite that 1 empty block aross from the library. There's a branch library, a Smith's Food King, a paperback exchange, Barnes & Noble (for 1 magazine I buy), a Blockbuster, health food stores, the 1.50 movie, Shopko, banks and restaurants. I want to walk to these places, but not very far. I prefer cities to suburbs. If there are enough changes I'll occasionally go to downtown again.

Mayor Mike Bloomberg on UFT Ad Attacking Him: 'I Didn't See It'
Mayor Mike Bloomberg, on his weekly radio show this morning, said he doesn't watch a lot of television. Well, actually, Mr. Mayor, that is pretty contradictory to some statements you made yesterday next to cast members from Gossip Girl. Get your facts straight, dude!
The mayor -- so versed in the the hit teen drama show that he could be writing recaps for Gawker -- is apparently less interested in watching television when he's being bashed.
WOR's John Gambling this morning asked the mayor for a response to the new Teachers Union ad that came out this week, criticizing Bloomberg for playing politics with schools.
"I didn't see it," Bloomberg said.

"Yes you did," Gambling responded.
"God as my witness -- well, I don't watch a lot of television," the mayor said. "If they want to waste the money of their members, it isn't going to change anything. We are going to fix this problem that we have where some of the teachers need remedial help and they don't get it and some just even with remedial help aren't effective and they shouldn't be in the classroom."
Echoing what he has said over and over and over again, Bloomberg used the question about the ad to discuss the importance of teacher evaluations and prioritizing students over union interests.
"If you have an effective teacher, you change that child's life," he said. "We cannot wait anymore."
Teachers need to be better evaluated, he argued.
"Our students don't have pass-fail and life isn't pass-fail. Only here do we think pass-fail is fine...In the private sector, your boss decides whether you are good or bad. And if your boss thinks you're not the right person for the job, he replaces you...We have this enormous group of phenomenally good teachers and there's a handful of teachers that just unfortunately aren't there."
Later in the radio show -- after Bloomberg said pretty much the same stuff he said yesterday about the continuing Ray Kelly drama -- the topic again returned to teachers when Gambling asked the mayor about the status of negotiations between the United Federation of Teachers and the city.
The negotiations had apparently stalled and might have restarted this week.
"No, no they never really broke off. Both sides agreed we had two days to go to a holiday weekend -- we're not going to get anything done. Let's go home. Okay, c'mon, that's not somebody walking out," Bloomberg said.
"Keep in mind, the UFT is a big union and the city has lots of its members as employees and so we talk all the time. And yes we've been talking. Progress or no progress -- y'know, that's not the way things work. They come together at the end or they don't, but they never come together until the end, and you never know really where you stand," he said.
"I think, in all fairness, the head of the Teachers Union Michael Mulgrew would like to have a deal. He represents his members. His job is to get the best deal he can for his members and protect all his members. My job is to get the best school system we can for our kids. This school system is going to be run for the kids," he said.
"He's a good labor leader and understands the issues. The ads -- I think that's just, I don't know why the members want him to go and waste all that money. I literally haven't seen it."

Red Flag
- Studio: Tribeca Film
- Release Date: Feb 22, 2013
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
This could be a recipe for excessive self-indulgence, but the meta quality of Red Flag is entirely irrelevant to its low key charm and persistent irreverence -- anchored, as always, by Karpovsky's loopy screen presence.
It's a fun, laugh-out-loud dark comedy, and proves that Alex Karpovsky and crew have made their mark.
If it's all reasonably familiar indie-comedy terrain, it's delivered at a brisk, economical clip with plenty of laughs, and a series of running gags that keep getting funnier.
A hilarious meta-comedy in which Karpovsky, playing a version of himself, goes on a roadshow tour for a movie he's directed.
Modest, personal, and nicely proportioned, Red Flag resembles one of Hong Sang-soo's self-reflexive doodles about relationships and filmmaking — "Oki's Movie," in particular — and it wisely doesn't take too big a bite.
Some genuinely tender moments—especially the final scene, which at this admittedly early point in 2013 qualifies as one of the best of the year—offset the occasional dramatic misfire.
Owing a debt to Albert Brooks' early comedies, Red Flag might be too much if it weren't just right.
Though often funny, there's a reverse narcissism in the way Karpovsky wallows in his "character's" off-putting flaws.
It surprisingly abandons its obvious meta elements and unfolds as a straightforward road-trip flick, opting for an exhibition of self-loathing rather than self-reflexivity.
There's a reason creepy character actors seldom play lead, and Karpovsky's amusingly off-kilter quality is better suited to the background, while Prediger (as the stranger he desperately wants to ditch, lest his ex-g.f. discover his infidelity) has the makings of an indie star.
If only Red Flag were funnier and tighter and had a sharper idea about what it means to blur the lines between self-interrogation and self-absorption. As it is, the movie throws off too few sparks.

Federal auditors' questions over costs and other issues have prompted National Nuclear Security Administration officials to re-examine plans to build a new, $2-million training facility at the Pantex Plant.
The nuclear agency's Office of Secure Transportation in March authorized the more than 5,000-square-foot facility featuring an exercise room, training space and offices and locker rooms at Pantex, about 17 miles northeast of Amarillo.
But a Sept. 27 report by the Department of Energy's Inspector General said the construction plans "may not be cost-effective nor necessary."
The Office of Secure Transportation's federal agents — highly trained, heavily armed couriers who protect shipments of nuclear weapons and nuclear materials across the country — currently use the same training and fitness facilities that Pantex security officers use at the plant.
In the proposed plan, the federal agents would get their own exercise room and training facility. But the current facilities — which include a small fitness room with an exercise physiologist, lockers and showers — have the "capability and capacity" to meet the federal agents' training needs, the audit states.
"Based on our review, we believe that the need for a new training facility at Pantex is highly questionable," the audit said.
B&W Pantex, which manages the federal nuclear facility, is not involved in the work of the OST federal agents.
NNSA officials will complete another evaluation of the proposal by the end of the month, before a contract can be awarded in November, agency spokesman Al Stotts said Tuesday.
"NNSA will evaluate the capabilities and availability of existing facilities and then weigh all potential costs and benefits of multiple courses of action, including construction of a new facility or the use of existing facilities," Stotts said.
While they said they could use existing facilities, OST personnel maintained the current setup was not sufficient to meet training needs and was not flexible enough for their schedules, the audit said.
The federal agents said the current facilities lacked key features, such as mats and reinforced walls, and were not suitable for fitness training because they mixed federal and contract personnel, the audit said.
The construction plans include 2,287 square feet for intermediate force training activities, 1,820 square feet for physical training and 1,420 square feet for offices, locker rooms and janitorial space.
The agency's Office of Secure Transportation Facility Board based the design and cost on similar facilities at Y-12, a nuclear site in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
But construction costs at Pantex likely will be more expensive and will result in a smaller than current facilities because of additional security and safety issues not required at the Tennessee plant, the audit said.
"Based on our review, we believe that the need for a new training facility at Pantex is highly questionable," according to the audit.
"We recommend that NNSA re-evaluate OST's training facility needs at Pantex, focusing on the cost and benefits of utilizing existing facilities before proceeding to construct the new facility."
Plans for a new physical training room were "based on faulty assumptions" after OST officials failed to review the availability of Pantex's existing exercise facility, according to the audit.
The training room, which accommodates 25 people, is only used about a third of the time daily, and on average eight people exercise in the facility at any given time, auditors found.
"Thus, based on current actual usage, Pantex's (physical training) facility has more than enough excess capacity to meet OST personal training needs," the audit said.

I am having what feels like a bunion on my left foot under the big toe. It does look swollen a bit. I am a Birk wearer and barefoot person so I can't blame shoes. I just did the couch to 5k and have been doing short runs/sprints since finishing. The pain has just started at the end of the C5K. My running shoes are not tight or ill fitting. Could this just be inflammation from running? Any ideas on treatment? Soaks?
Hey bunzi12. I'm sorry to hear you're having such trouble. I know a guy, he's an expert in the running field and specializes in gait analysis. He seems to know everything. He just started a Facebook page and is very active in corresponding with people. His name is Jeff Van Horn and his company is Lucky Foot. I would "like" his Facebook page and send him a message or post a question on there. He's really good about getting back to you; he may be able to give you some idea of what's going on.
I hope you had a great time at the couch to 5k. I hope it was not too painful with your foot. Like I said, stop by and talk to Jeff. He may be able to guide you in the right direction and get some relief for you soon!!
Lucky Foot, LLC
Are you sure you are talking about a bunion? If so, it would occur at the junction of the big toe and the ball of the foot...
Above is a radical example, for sure, from wikipedia, but you see where the enlargement occurs. This kind of deformation would not be likely right after C25k, but enlarged calluses on the big toe develop more rapidly in response to a sport like running...
This image from footcare.ygoy.com shows an extreme example of a callus on the outside of the big toe, as well as one under the 2nd metatarsal. Wearing Birkenstocks may be helpful for normal feet, but symptoms like calluses and bunions can have more to do with biomechanical issues, genetic disposition, and anatomical differences, than they do with shoes. The foot above suggests that the 2nd metatarsal contacts the ground more than the larger 1st, which should be bearing most of the impact. The footstrike of this person probably rolls, or pronates, onto the big toe, producing the callus there. This would likely be the case if the 1st metatarsal came up short, as it appears to in this picture, and as it does with many other people, including me.
One of the things I noticed after getting serious about running was the development of callus on the big toe, as seen in the above pic. What helped me is the addition of a small pad under the ball of the foot, which as you can see in the above picture, allows the burden of impact to be placed on the 1st metatarsal, where it belongs. This reduces the need for over-pronation, and reduces the production of callus from rolling onto the big toe.

I developped a bunion in my right foot after starting running 4-5 days a week instead of 1-2. All I can say is that they are very annoying and some times painful, but they are treatable.
I would recommend visiting a physiotherapist and/or podiatrist as soon as you can to get the bunion adequately treated. The reason for this is that if you don't address the problem it will get worse. For me what worked was a visit to the physiotherapist that showed me how to stretch my toe to prevent the bunion from getting worse. At this moment I am almost pain free and can run without problems. Moreover, I will visit a podiatrist next week to see if I should wear corrective insoles while running. She will analyze the shape of my foot, the way I walk and decide wheter I shouls wear insoles to help the toe "stay in place" while running.
Finally, the last-resort treatment is to operate. It is not a difficult operation but it still carries some discomfort and does not always solve the problem.
Current PB:

Marathon: 3:33:31 (March 15th 2015)
Completed my first marathon! Feeling like getting some more!
Try Bunion Bootie - fits great in running shoes and if you are in between sizes, size down. That's my suggestion

"jamestown virginia" Top 5 Page for this destination Jamestown by doug48
Jamestown Travel Guide: 66 reviews and 255 photos
after the failure of the roanoke colony in north carolina england sent a second expedition to north america in 1607. three ships, the susan constant, discovery, and godspeed commaned by captian christopher newport arrived in the area in may 1607. captain edward wingfield was elected president of the colony and built a wooden fort on james island on the james river. many of the settlers were english gentleman and with their manservents were unacustomed to physical labor. as a result of a poor labor force and the swampy condition of the area many of the original settlers died of starvation and disease. in the period between 1609 and 1610 only 61 settlers survived from the original 500 colonists. the most famous member of the early jamestown colonists was captain john smith. in december 1607 smith and a group of settlers were looking for food along the chickahominy river. smith was captured by powhatan indians and was taken to the chief of the powhatans at werowocomoco. according to smith's writings the powhatan chief was gong to execute him but his daughter pocahontas intervened in his behalf. in 1610 the supply ship the deliverance commanded by lord de le warr came to the rescue of the starving colonists with food and additional settlers. one of these settlers was john rolfe who brought tabacco seed from the caribbean and later married pocahontas. over the years the jamestown colony grew but was plagued by indian attacks in 1622 and again in 1644. the town was burned during bacon's rebellion in 1676. the colony was abandoned in 1699 when the capital of virginia was moved the williamsburg. prior to the civil war jamestown island was owned by william allen. after the battle of williamsburg during union general george mc clellan's peninsula campaign allen fled to richmond. runaway slaves occupied the island and burned the amber house and the jamestown church. in 1872 the island was purchased by edward barney who donated the land of the original colony to the association for the preservation of virginia antiquities.
for those interested in early american history jamestown is a very worth while place to visit when in the williamsburg area.

Valentina Zic, the fabulous Times editor, and I have a semi-unique correspondence. She writes to me asking whether I'm serious about writing a blog for the paper. She has every reason to make this inquiry. I post a blog, then another fairly quickly thereafter and possibly a third hard upon, and then I fall off the end of the earth. I respond, with equal portions of apology and despair, that yes I want to blog, please understand that I am a Lazy Dog,�and, finally I tell her, in the words of the great song of my generation: Hold on; I'm comin'. �She says great, I look forward to it. The entire conversation, question and response, is repeated almost verbatim after several unproductive weeks have past.
I described this conversation as semi-unique, because, wouldn't you know, Mr. Lazy Dog has had similar conversations with other editors, none of whom have been as understanding as Sweet Val.
But this time I'm seriously back. I've mastered the new posting techniques and with the administrative mumbo-jumbo out of the way, I'm ready to roll. Val can be skeptical, but you dear readers should not be.

In Arne Dahl's riveting follow-up to Misterioso, the Intercrime team is assigned the task of tracking down an American serial killer on the loose in Sweden—quietly, and as quickly as possible.
When a Swedish literary critic is found tortured to death in a janitor's closet at Newark International Airport, the police realize that the murderer made off with the victim's ticket and boarded a flight to Stockholm. Swedish authorities are placed on high alert, but the killer manages to slip through the customs dragnet and vanishes into the night.
With no clear motive in sight, Detectives Paul Hjelm and Kerstin Holm of Intercrime's A-Unit take over the investigation. They learn that the method of torture used was not only a highly specialized means of extracting information secretly developed during the Vietnam War—allowing the victim to whisper, but not to scream—but also that it was the modus operandi of an allegedly deceased homicidal maniac known only as the Kentucky Killer.
As additional victims are discovered on the outskirts of Stockholm and the terror grows, the team finds itself coming up empty-handed. Hjelm and Holm fly to New York, hoping to discover both the killer's identity and the source of his interest in Sweden. What they quickly learn, searching through the past, is that bad blood always comes back around.

"One of this year's most intense thrillers." —GT (Sweden)
"A highly professional crime novel, and an insightful and thought-provoking social satire." —Jyllands-Posten (Denmark)
"Bad Blood succeeds due to its clear motive and suspense. It expertly weaves together the American involvement in Vietnam with the current unfolding events in Iraq." —Aftenposten (Norway)
Praise for Misterioso
"Terrific. . . . Full of twists and turns, blind alleys and sudden assaults, procedural hassles and stakeouts." —The Providence Journal
"Absorbing . . . A dark, tense thriller." —Newark Star-Ledger
"Dahl has created a brilliant character and a terrific story. This is a classic cop-shop tale of the old school." —The Globe and Mail (Canada)
A serial killer has just eluded the FBI at Newark Airport and is on his way to Stockholm. The National Criminal Police, a recently formed group of Swedish crime investigators, have been asked for their assistance in capturing the fugitive before he can leave the Swedish airport and continue his crime spree of torture and murder on an international level. So begins the second installment of the "Intercrime" series (after Misterioso) by Dahl (the pen name of Swedish author and critic Jan Arnald). What follows is a fast-paced pursuit of a particularly vicious and experienced torturer, one who may have military training and government backing. The detectives, a disparate group from all over Sweden, each with his or her own unique abilities, must determine who the killer is and why he came to Sweden.
Verdict It's easy to understand why Dahl received a special prize for "vitalization and development of the crime genre through his Intercrime series" from the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers. His delightful, realistic characters and surprising humor alleviate the intensity as the detectives race to catch the clever, elusive killer. Highly recommended for all crime fiction and thriller fans.Deb West, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA

Read an Excerpt
Pain beyond words, he thinks. Now I know what it is.
Learn for life, he thinks, and his gallows-humor laugh is silent. Learn for death, he thinks, and instead of laughter: yet another mute, infernal scream.
As the pain mounts its next attack, he knows with a kind of crystal-clear certainty that he has laughed his last laugh.
The pain is no longer deepening. With what he can still make out as a mixture of satisfaction and terror, he feels that its intensity has reached its peak, and he understands just what process is now under way.
The downward slope.
The graph of pain is no longer rising; it is leveling out, and beyond it he can glimpse the steep incline that will, with the inevitability of a playground slide, end in nothingness. Or—and he fights the thought—with God.
The pores of his body are wide open, small gaping mouths roaring the great Why that he can't roar himself.
The images start to come to him; he knew they would. They come even as the pain increases to levels he couldn't have imagined even in his wildest fantasies. He is surprised at the possibilities that have lain hidden within him all these years.
So they do exist.
A person always carries these intense potentials within.
While his entire being explodes in cascade after cascade, the pain seems more and more to shift from his fingers, genitals, and throat to a place outside himself. It somehow becomes general, rising above his body and invading his—and he can't help thinking of the word—his soul. All the while he tries to keep his mind clear. But then come more images.
At first he fought to maintain contact with the world outside, but now the world outside, beyond the small window, is nothing more than the giant aircraft lumbering past. Now and then the figure of his tormentor glides by, with the deadly tools. Soon enough the roaring planes blend with the images, and now even the planes are transformed into shrieking, infernal spirits.
He can't gain control over the images, how they come, their order, their structure. He sees the unforgettable interior of the labor room where his son has been born, but he hasn't been there himself; rather, as his son is born, he hears himself throwing up in the bathroom. But now he is there, and it is beautiful, odorless, soundless. Life goes on, clean and pure. He greets people he recognizes as great authors. He drifts through elegant old corridors. He sees himself making love to his wife, and her expression is joyful in a way he's never seen. He is standing at a podium; people applaud wildly. More corridors, meetings, conferences. He is on TV, showered with admiring looks. He sees himself writing with a white-hot passion, he sees himself read book after book, pile after pile of papers.
But when the pain pauses and the rumble of the planes brings him back, it strikes him that all he sees is himself reading and writing, not what he is reading and writing. During those short pauses when he can catch his breath, he wonders what this means.
It is clear now that the descent is starting. The pain no longer reaches him. He is fleeing his tormentor; he will be victorious. He even has the strength to spit on him, and the reply is a crunching sound and a small, slight increase in pain. Out of the darkness comes a roaring dragon, and it becomes an airplane that sweeps a lingering veil over a soccer field where his son is casting nervous glances at the sidelines. He waves to him, but his son doesn't see; he waves more frantically and yells louder, but his son only looks more resigned until he scores a goal for the opposing team, out of distraction or protest.
Then he sees the young woman next to the bookshelf, her impressed glances. They're walking along the large street, eagerly demonstrating their generation-defying love. On the other side: two completely motionless figures, his son and his wife, and he sees them and stops and gives her a deep kiss. He's running, working out. The little needle presses down into his scalp again and again, and finally his glorious thick hair is back again. His cell phone rings during a debate at the book fair—another son. Champagne corks pop, but when he gets home, they're gone.
And he's reading again, and in a final burst of consciousness he thinks that something out of all he's read and written ought to fly past, but the only thing he sees is himself reading and writing, and in one last shining second of lucidity that makes him think he is truly dying, he realizes that nothing he has read or written has meant anything. He might as well have done absolutely anything else.
He thinks of the threat. "No one will be able to hear you scream." Of how he didn't take the threat seriously. Because he suspected—a final burst of pain stops his last thought.
And so begins the end. His pain fades away. The images come quickly now. It's as though there's no time.
He's walking in the protest march; the police raise their batons above him. He's standing in a summer pasture, the horse racing toward him. A little grass snake slinks into his rubber boots and winds its way between his toes. His father looks absent-mindedly at his drawing of the enormous snake. The clouds rush by above the edge of the stroller canopy, and he thinks he sees a cat moving around up there. Sweet milk is sprayed over his face. The thick, pale green cord leads the way, and he travels through dark, fleshy canals.
And then he is no longer traveling.
Thinks somewhere: What a sleazy way to die.

After reading Arne Dahl's engrossing "Misterioso," I couldn't wait for the second in the series to be translated and published in the U.S. Unfortunately, "Bad Blood" is a disappointment. Unlike Dahl's previous work, this effort suffers from a preposterous plot and a pervasive cynicism. Worse, Dahl seems to think that, to be considered a "serious" writer, he needs to pepper his narrative with half-baked political and social commentary, tinged with standard Scandinavian self-righteousness. Please--just give us a good police procedural. The gold standard for Nordic detective fiction remains the Martin Beck series by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.

Classically, most cell culture experiments have been performed under adherent 2D conditions. Cells in the human body grow within an organized 3D matrix, surrounded by other cells. The behavior of individual cells is controlled through their interactions with their immediate neighbors and the extracellular matrix. The complex summation of these multiple signals determines whether a given cell undergoes differentiation, apoptosis, proliferation, or invasion. In 2D culture many of these complex interactions are lost. As a result, there are a growing number of studies which report differences in phenotype, cellular signaling, cell migration, and drug responses when the same cells are grown under 2D or 3D culture conditions. One potential application of these techniques is to anticancer drug discovery, which has long been hampered by the lack of good preclinical models. Compounds with good antitumor activity in 2D cell culture models often fail to translate into the clinic. Here we suggest that the response of cancer cells to drugs is determined in part by the 3D tumor microenvironment and discuss models to re-create the 3D tumor microenvironment in vitro. It is likely that the adoption of these and other 3D models will allow us to more closely re-create the behavior of the tumor in vivo which may lead to identifying better anticancer drug candidates at an earlier stage of development.

Running Time: 135
Director: John Leslie
Cast: Dana Vespoli, Rick Cuban, Roxy Jezel, Shawnee, Manuel Ferrara, Kurt Lockwood, Mick Blue, Teagan Presley, Mario Rossi, Kimberly Kane, Heather Silk, Fred Follish, Renee Pornero, Mark Davis, Silky Thumper
Critical Rating: AAAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
With every scene a Mazerati, retailers can't go wrong.
Director John Leslie has crafted a sexual masterpiece out of the five unconnected scenes here that easily catapult this to Best All-Sex Release and Leslie to Best All-Sex Director pre-nom status.
Volcanic heat spews from the git-go, with Olivia O'Lovely making it in an elevator with Manuel Ferrara as Mario Rossi watches - and eventually participates. Olivia's face is darkly expressive as she savors each sexual act performed on her: Mish, doggie and three anal positions, and she even manages a squirt. A definite pre-nom for Best Threeway Scene.
Roxy Jezel and Teagan tease Mark Davis unmercifully before he begins to take charge by restraining Roxy with a neck strap - and eventually penetrates her ass in two positions before spewing in both girls' mouths. But Davis trading slaps with Dana Vespoli during a mock attack is even hotter - and boy, can she ride his cock! Look for a d.p. here with Davis and Mick Blue.
The two-couple bed scene with newcomer Silky Thumper and Renee Pornero will raise tents, but it's nothing compared to lovers Kimberly Kane and Kurt Lockwood, who show off with reverse cowgirl to a bound and gagged Shawnee, then draw her into their sexual games.

Amtrak let me off in downtown Fredericksburg, where buildings that might have witnessed the original battle were snugged up against the modern train station (background).
After breakfast, I sneaked through Confederate lines toward the site where Union forces were getting ready to cross the Rappahannock on a pontoon bridge.
Although the city of Fredericksburg had been evacuated before the original battle began, in the reenactment many women and children stayed on to support their menfolk.
The new commander of the Army of the Potomac, Gen. Ambrose Burnside (he of the famous whiskers) miscalculated the timing of his attack. By the time the pontoon bridges were ready to be erected, the city was well defended by General Lee's troops.
Confederate troops assembling along Water Street (now Sophia Street) where some of the original fighting took place.
Down by the Rappahannock, waiting for the Union attack.
On the other side of the Rappahannock, at the Ferry Farm (George Washington's boyhood home), the tents of the encampment of the 20th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, have emptied in preparation for the river crossing.
At the Ferry Farm, soldiers were inflating observation balloons for use in directing the battle.
When construction of the pontoon bridge was prevented by withering fire from Confederate troops, Union forces rowed over to establish a beachhead.
With the bridge finished (courtesy of the modern Army), Union forces were able to start marching across.
The first soldiers across the bridge established a perimeter to protect the troops that followed.
Stepping around fallen soldiers, Union troops begin their advance on the city of Fredericksburg. Artillery from the far side of the river supports the attack.
More troops cross the pontoon bridge as fallen soldiers from both sides lie on the ground.
An overall view of the crossing looking across the Rappahannock to Ferry Farm, where Union troops had assembled (photo taken from behind the "Sentry Box," a restored home that was damaged during the battle).
Members of the 20th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, begin their assault down Caroline Street, pushing the Confederate forces in front of them. (Note the hometown support: a Boston Bruins sweatshirt in the background.)
Confederate forces on Caroline Street attempt to hold back the Union advance.
Union forces continue their advance. A history of the 32nd Regiment describes how the soldiers protected themselves from the December chill by donning the lighter blue overcoats many of the soldiers are wearing here.
After the city was taken, Gen. Burnside's objective was across a 2,000-yard expanse of rising bare ground, ending at a four-foot stone wall below a sharp elevation (Marye's Heights) where General Lee had placed his artillery. It was a plan designed to end in disaster.
The National Park Service exhibits Civil War artillery at the summit of Marye's Heights.
The artillery on Marye's Heights had a clear view back down to the city (no pine trees and no nearby houses). As one Confederate commander said, "A chicken could not live on that field when we open on it."
The wall at the foot of Marye's Heights went along the Sunken Road, a perfect cover for Confederate infantry.
As Union troops advance into a barrage of Confederate artillery and infantry fire, thousands of onlookers capture the moment in digital photos. Col. Francis Parker writes: "We recall the terrific accession to the roar of battle with which the enemy welcomed each brigade before us as it left the cover of the cut and with which at last it welcomed us. We remember the rush across that open field where, in ten minutes, every tenth man was killed or wounded."
Wave after wave of General Burnside's Army of the Potomac is sent up the hill in a futile attempt to take Marye's Heights. Col. Parker writes: "To the memory now comes a strange jumble of. . .situations and occurrences as do not appear in the battles of history or fiction. . . Our regiment . . . getting into such positions that it was equally a matter of wonder that we should ever have gone there or . . . should ever have escaped alive."
"Our men, proudly disdaining cover, stood every man erect and with steady fire-firing kept the rebels down behind the cover of their stone wall and held the position until nightfall." When the sun sets, members of the 32nd Regiment are pinned down within 40 yards of the Sunken Road without the possibility of relief. George W. Dunham's comrade in arms, Daniel Westgate Sr., is wounded severely. Unable to be evacuated for more than a day, he dies six days later in a hospital in Georgetown, DC. Col. Parker writes: "Night closed upon a bloody field. A battle of which there seems to have been no plan, had been fought with no strategic result."
Confederate history recounts the story of Sgt. Richard R. Kirkland ("The Angel of Marye's Heights"), who crossed the lines of battle to bring water to Union troops. On the other side, Col. Parker tells of a Union soldier carrying canteens up the hill, pretending to be downed by Confederate fire before springing forward to the trapped soldiers.
The steep rise up to the heights where so many are buried. "Rest on embalmed and sainted dead, / Dear as the blood you gave. / No impious footstep here shall tread / the herbage of your grave."
Coming back down the hill from the reenactment, there were signs that, while the battle had been lost, the war had been won.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Lane Kiffin had concerns about depth on the Oakland Raiders even before two key offensive players went down with season-ending knee injuries.
Those worries have only been heightened now that receiver Drew Carter and fullback Oren O'Neal went down with injuries early in Saturday night's 24-0 loss to Arizona.
"Obviously, both were really down, especially Drew," Kiffin said in a conference call Sunday. "He's had so many things like this happen to him. I believe this might be his fourth ACL maybe in his career. He's had a lot of tough breaks injury-wise so he was on a one-year contract so this was very tough for him."
It also was a tough break for the Raiders, who were counting on Carter to perform after signing him to a $2 million contract in the offseason. He set career highs last season with 38 catches for 517 yards and four touchdowns for Carolina last season and was one of only three experienced receivers on Oakland's roster.
Now the Raiders will need to look for a veteran to complement Javon Walker and Ronald Curry. Kiffin said they could go after an out-of-work veteran or wait until other teams make their cuts this week to find someone to replace Carter. Two possible options are Joe Horn, released last week by Atlanta, and Koren Robinson, who remains unsigned.
The Raiders will need to do something because their entire backup group at wide receiver has just seven career catches. Johnnie Lee Higgins had six receptions as a rookie, and Chris McFoy has one career catch.
"There's not a lot of history there as far as guys playing in the league besides Javon and Ronald," Kiffin said. "Really, none of those guys have really played before. So it would be tough to only go with two guys who have played before."
Curry led the Raiders with 55 receptions for 717 yards last season, but had only 11 catches in the final five games last season. Curry has 174 career receptions for 2,166 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Walker has 252 career catches for 3,815 yards and 30 scores, but is coming off a 26-catch season when he was slowed by a knee injury.
"I've been in this position before when I was in Denver and Jay Cutler was in his first year starting, and I was the only receiver and Brandon Marshall came along," Walker said. "So, it's nothing new for me. I just know what I do and I know what I can go out and bring. So, I'm just going to do that, execute and make plays."
The injury could open the door for both Todd Watkins and rookie Chaz Schilens to make the roster. Watkins has been the most consistent receiver in practice and has five catches in the first three preseason games.
Schilens, a seventh-round pick out of San Diego State, has shown some flashes and has three catches so far.
The Raiders are also thin at fullback, where O'Neal was expected to team with Justin Griffith this season. O'Neal showed the ability to be a strong blocker in the running game last year as a rookie, often being used for long stretches when Oakland relied heavily on the ground game.
Now the only other fullback on the roster is Marcel Reece, an undrafted free agent who played receiver last year in college at Washington.
"That's a big deal right there," Kiffin said. "There are a number of games last year he played even more for us than Justin. He's a guy when we run the ball he is in there play after play, a physical attitude."

Is there a way to save a Terraria map without also exiting the map? Last night I was victim to a power outage that lost me a lot of work. I'd like to avoid this in the future, but it seems overly complicated to be forced to exit just to save my progress. Ideally, there would be some sort of autosave solution that doesn't require me to remember (since I probably won't), but anything's better than having to exit and open the map again just to save.
In Terraria 1.0.4 devs added an auto save option:
I usually use a server to save my world without exiting the game. Even if I'm playing in single player.
I create a server with my world before I start playing, then, when I need to save the world, I type "save" in the server's cmd window.
The server also autosaves the world at regular intervals.

Schendler Part III: Aspen SkiCo and global warming
In my third of three blogs (Part I here and Part II here) in response to the Businessweek article about Aspen Skiing Company's work ("Little Green Lies"), I'll end with a discussion of where we might go now at Aspen Skiing Company to address climate change.
First, some context. Thinking about the challenges corporations face in trying to reduce CO2 emissions, I emailed my colleague Randy Udall, who until recently ran an energy efficiency nonprofit near Aspen. I asked about Suncor, which used to have an incredible corporate program to address carbon dioxide emissions, but then ended up blowing it all by developing Alberta's tar sands. Randy noted that there are some things you simply are not going to "green," and tar sands (and snowmaking) are pretty near the top of the list. [JR: Well, tar sands is at the top of the list — snowmaking is a ways down.]
The raison d'etre of business is to make money. Making money means using energy. Growing your company generally means using more energy.
I pointed out that realistically, we're not going to "green" business, though we'll hopefully make some headway. We're going to have to green the whole system so that business isn't as damaging. Or, we're simply going to fail.
Randy agreed, pointing out that this is also why a focus on emissions is the wrong way to think about this problem. You have to transform the energy system and find another way to fuel prosperity. Just trying to reduce emissions tends to blind you to what is really needed.
One blogger was very insistent that we stop making artificial snow early in the season. His point was that we need to get radical. Ignoring the fact that we no longer operate snow guns unless it's appropriately cold out–ie, below 20 degrees F, let's say we did that. Let's say it would cut our carbon footprint 5%. And let's say every ski resort in Colorado did the same thing. Bottom line–it wouldn't do anything. We'd still be out of business in 50 years. We need to implement these aggressive actions, but we need to think bigger. Below is the climate strategy for ASC moving forward:
1) We need to think of ourselves as a renewable energy development company in addition to a ski area. In Carbondale, we're developing 150kW of solar panels, in collaboration with Colorado Rocky Mountain School, the utility Xcel, the nonprofit CORE, and the town. What's unique about the project is that while we're financing the project, we're not going to get the electricity. So it won't reflect in our carbon footprint. Nonetheless, the project wouldn't happen without us. After our experience with RECs, we're not going to worry about getting credit for carbon reductions, as long as we're making emissions reductions occur. We used this model with our 115kW microhydroelectric system as well.
2) Continue to pursue energy efficiency projects and operational changes (like not running rarely used lifts, and yes, taking a close look at snowmaking) to try to drive down real emissions. One approach we are considering is the creation of an annual energy efficiency fund that is a certain portion of revenue, and which gets spent every year on efficiency projects. This is an idea that first surfaced at Fedex but didn't get implemented there.
3) Realize that the greatest impact we can have is in leveraging policy change. For example: recently, Colorado's Governor, Bill Ritter, announced a climate plan for the state. We worked with the trade organization Colorado Ski Country USA to draft an editorial. CSCUSA recruited a dozen ski resort CEOs to sign it, and the essay ran in the Denver Post. Ritter needs business support for his plan if it is to succeed, because it is controversial in some cases. (The clean car initiative, in particular.) Also on the policy-influencing front: last year we filed an Amicus Brief on Mass v. EPA. That suit, which has been called the most important environmental lawsuit ever to go to the Supreme Court, won, and forced the EPA to regulate CO2 as an air pollutant under the Clean Air Act. Last month, a Kansas review board denied a coal plant because of the implications of the future carbon emissions. The only legal basis for their denial, as I understand it, was Mass. V. EPA. That we had any small part in that chain of events is encouraging, and suggests that we'll be able to find even greater opportunities to drive change down the line.

7 Responses to Schendler Part III: Aspen SkiCo and global warming
Piecemeal solutions to global warming are utterly futile. It wastes our time and energy to talk about them. Discussing piecemeal solutions simply distracts from focusing on the problems and their solutions. Piecemeal solutions are opportunities to demonstrate virtue, not the radical solutions we need. We need engage in systematic elimination of CO2 emissions. If we look at the sources of CO2 emissions, we find that well over half come from two activities, electrical generation, and surface transportation. Fortunately technology exists that could facilitate the systematic elimination of CO2 emissions from these two vital economic economic sectors. The conversion of electrical generation and surface transportation to existing post-fossil fuel technologies, would eliminate a significant percentage of the CO2 emissions from the United States. Plans must be quickly laid to do so.
In addition, the operations of the fossil fuel industries, are themselves significant sources of CO2 emissions. Getting rid of the fossil fuel industry would eliminate a further significant source of CO2 emissions. EXXON executive executives know that killing off EXXON would be good for the planet. That is why they have fought so hard to confuse the public about global warming.
The air transportation sector and water born transportation are both problematic. Both are significant sources of CO2 emissions. No CO2 free power technology exists that could provide propulsive power for either. Decision choices are, to allow the continued use of fossil fuels in these sectors until alternative technologies are developed, or to simply eliminate the sector. Air transport is expendable. Sea born shipping is not.
Finally the sue of fossil fuels in industry and agriculture has to be reviewed and substitutes found where possible.
We well face some hard choices in our struggle to save ourselves. Piecemeal solutions will simply not do.
Auden — I learned while writing up a case study on ST MicroElectronics successes in inserting sustainability into its corporate culture (thanks to RMI) that energy efficiency efforts have almost no risk. (See "moving the Corporate Behemoth" at http://solveclimate.com/sites/default/files/Moving%20the%20Behemoth.Final_.pdf)
Further, I've been intrigued by the city of Berkeley's plan to provide solar financing to anyone who wants it (to be paid off over time on the property tax bill), and recently heard about something called "on-bill financing" for small businesses. It allows them to invest in energy efficiency and pay off the costs over time through energy savings.
I bring these issues up because it seems like one solution to the problem of availability of capital within businesses is access to extramural sources of capital and/or deployment of creative or unconventional financing mechanisms.
The low-hanging fruit of efficiency has no risk attached, and a steady source of $$ through energy savings that securely collateralizes any loan or investment.
I was the guy at RMI that got the first call when ST Micro started exploring efficiency work, and I coordinated some of RMI's first projects with ST. They're incredible. You are right, to a point. The performance contracting model, for example (where you get efficiency work done for free, then pay back from savings) hasn't worked at ASC because returns are too small. (Performance contracting works great in hospitals, which have huge enegy demands.) We can and will get at the low hanging fruit. But my concern is that that's all business will go after–and if all businesses did that, say, getting the first 30 percentage points of efficiency, it would be remarkable. But we need 80% reductions, not 30%.
100% biodiesel for ocean vessels would remove aout 2.7% of the caron added annually to the active carbon cycle.
David B. Benson, what is the social cost of biodiesel?
Somewhat confused here in Fort Collins. In part deux Auden spoke of ASC's latest solar venture.
"Aspen Skiing Company is currently developing 150kW of solar energy in Carbondale … That project will sell RECs to our utility, Xcel, at roughly $170/mWh over 20 years"
Here, he says:
"while we're financing the project, we're not going to get the electricity… the project wouldn't happen without us….we're not going to worry about getting credit for carbon reductions."
Sounds like someone sold the bragging rights to Xcel already. Taking credit would hardly be sporting. (Hats off to Xcel for doing this, even though the project counts triple towards fulfilling its Colorado RPS.)
It would be interesting to view the thread where a blogger insisted that ASC stop making snow in the early season. Climate Progress only fielded a few comments that inquired about the energy inputs and methodology as well as a comment or two that used this practice to draw attention to the economics of cheap energy and the repurcussions.
I am also scratching my head how ASC can get enough natural gas to Snowmass to operate boilers but not a co-gen unit. But I have been so captivated by an illustrated guide to the Arlberg Technique that a friend loaned me that I haven't dug into the complexities of thermodynamics. She was afraid I was coming off like a real rube and needed to bone up if I was going to go after Vail next. They did so many wonderful things with wool back in those days.
Climate change and resource depletion are cultural phenomena. They are not happening because we mistakenly selected the wrong fuels. Mathematically, the changes that Schendler talks of are only realistic if the culture that underlies gratuitous consumption is radically altered.
I once wrote a friend and explained that addressing climate change would require social transformation comparable in scale to what accompanied the advent of Lenin and Mao. He thought I was arguing for communism. This was a guy who, as director of a large University's facilities and operations, had managed to pull off some very impressive energy efficiency projects. He knew the score, but talking to him about the impact that human energy could have on the problem seemed to be stepping into unfamiliar territrory.
Similarily, I recently sat through about as much of a local Climate Task Force meeting as I could handle. The meeting room was equipped with two parallel circuits of lights, either one of which would be sufficient. The lighting designers had specified an energy saving time-out feature into the lights which had a malfunctioning motion sensor. Every time the lights would go out, both banks would be brought back up. What could be more prosaic than a room full of climate warriors using twice as much energy as necessary?
If the vision that Auden Schendler is laying out here is to come to pass, it must, in some way, engage human energy in conserving the hydrocarbon variety. In many circumstances that may require people to elect to refrain from participating in energy intensive activities in favor of finding something else meaningful to do. Elect to leave the skis in the shed until enough man made snow has fallen? Perhaps. But this would require that they not be duped into thinking they are skiing on ice crystals precipitated entirely by the graceful advancement of wind turbine blades.
The most certain method available for driving people to smart energy choices is ensuring that the economics of energy consumption matches the reality. This requires paying more. Filing legal briefs is nice. Real advancement will come when mandatory carbon taxes loom on the horizon.
There is simply no way to green up businesses enough to make a difference. We have to change the way we live. Both our expectations and the way we achieve them have to evolve. Radically. Anybody that wants to argue that this is simply not possible, that consumption is systemic, has a mountain of evidence to support their position. But a much more certain emphatic statement can be offered: It is simply impossible to succeed without transforming the culture that is driving climate change. Consume less.
(Parties interested in other interpretations of Mr. Schendler are encouraged to call the no nonsense folks in public relations at Vail Resorts , a Colorado competitor of ASC.)
Charles Barton says – We well face some hard choices in our struggle to save ourselves. Piecemeal solutions will simply not do.
However, it is an important part of adjusting our attitudes and evolving our behavior to a more sustainable existence.

Resampling for stationary sequences has been well studied in the last couple of decades. In the paper at hand, we focus on nonstationary time series data where the nonstationarity is due to a slowly-changing deterministic trend. We show that the local block bootstrap methodology is appropriate for inference under this locally stationary setting without the need of detrending the data. We prove the asymptotic consistency of the local block bootstrap in the smooth trend model, and complement the theoretical results by a finite-sample simulation.

ELECTRA, Texas (AP) - Two Electra High School students and a man died and two other people were hurt in a head-on crash on a narrow rural road.
Authorities say the accident killed 16-year-old Courtney Mengwasser and 18-year-old Adreanna Norrid.
The Department of Public Safety say a car the teens were riding in collided Tuesday night with a pickup traveling in their lane.
Their driver, Electra student 18-year-old Alyssa Willeford, was critically injured and taken to a hospital in Wichita Falls.
The other driver, 40-year-old Michael Nason of Electra, was killed.
DPS says his passenger, 41-year-old Monte Grounds of Bowlegs, Okla., was taken to a Wichita Falls hospital with minor injuries.
Friend say Willeford had just finished band practice and had picked up her friends at the restaurant where they worked to give them a ride home.

Could anyone explain me problem 31 of project euler? I don't understand the problem clearly.
Is the problem saying to calculate the coins in any order like:
2*£1 or perhaps 1×£1 + 1×50p + 2×20p + 1×5p + 1×2p + 3×1p ?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Could anyone explain me problem 31 of project euler? I don't understand the problem clearly.
Is the problem saying to calculate the coins in any order like:
2*£1 or perhaps 1×£1 + 1×50p + 2×20p + 1×5p + 1×2p + 3×1p ?
I had problems understanding this problem as well, not being used to British currency.
There are 100 pence in a pound. The following coins (in pence) are available: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200.
You are asked in how many different ways you can combine these values to create 200 pence.
As an example, there are 4 ways to form 5 pence:
Good luck!
The question is basically how many possible combinations are there to get 2£ worth of money (= 200p) when you have the 8 different types of coins available.
Here are just a few (trivial) possible combinations:
The question is: how many such combinations are possible?
You could use recursion to consider all the amount which are less that £2. (and then add the difference as pence)
You have to break this problem down into the question of how many ways you can make each coin value with coins of the same or lower values. This would lead you to something like this (I hope my assumptions are correct):
This problem is a special case of a very well known problem called Subset Sum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_Sum)
I thought the problem statement was clear. It lists the coins as:
1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (100p) and £2 (200p)
As such, it is clear about the value of a pound in terms of pence. I think the question is more about the eventual goal of the problem. It asks
"How many different ways can £2 be made using any number of coins?"
The confusion here seems to be about order. Having solved this problem, I will state that order is unimportant in the solution. All that matters is the number of coins of each denomination required to make up the total of 200p.
I'll add the suggestion that this is a small problem, very solvable with simple recursion. If you are unsure about how to proceed, a place to look is in the theory of the partitions of a number.
Hey, simple dp, using python:
Less efficient than DP, but runs in 1/2 a second for this particular problem. Simple recursion:
This is a tricky solution that i didn't understand at all. A solution is at http://blog.csdn.net/No_End_Point/archive/2009/06/26/4301149.aspx
And here a good piece of theory: Integer Partition in Wikipedia.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Comic Creators for Freedom is sending out a call for artists to participate in its third annual fund-raising project, which will launch on Jan. 9. CCF is an organization of comics artists that raises money to fight child slavery and human trafficking through art; so far $15,000 has been raised for the cause. Participating creators send in a drawing of one of their female characters, and the drawings are combined into a single image, which is offered as a downloadable wallpaper to donors. Artists interested in participating should contact organizer Lora Innes by Dec. 31. The fund-raiser will run from Jan. 9 to Jan. 20, and the money raised will go to Love 146, an organization that fights human trafficking on a global scale, and Gracehaven, a home for victims.
The list of participants is already pretty impressive: In addition to Innes, the creator of The Dreamer, participating artists include Danielle Corsetto (Girls With Slingshots), Thom Zahler (Love and Capes), Scott Christian Sava (The Dreamland Chronicles) and Chris Watkins (Odori Park).
Want to know more? Check out this podcast at TGT Media, where Innes and Earthsong creator Crystal Yates explain what CCF is all about.
Hiya kids, it's time for What Are You Reading?, a weekly look into what the Robot 6 crew has been reading lately. Today's special guest is Thom Zahler, creator of the delightful superhero/romantic comedy comic Love and Capes.
