The tigers treats will be doled out at 10:31 a.m.
A zoo news release quotes keeper Sara Morgan: "Nicky and Mick will probably check everything out first, take in all the sights and smells. They might bite off some birthday candles and roll the pumpkins around with their paws. Eventually, they'll get around to eating the meat that's hidden inside."
The birthday treats, according to the zoo, are made from nontoxic materials and are "designed to encourage the tigers' natural sensory, predatory and exploratory behaviors."

The Musha Innu Housing Department Building on Poker Street in Natuashish, Labrador, was destroyed by fire this morning, the RCMP says.
A preliminary investigation by the RCMP determined there was nobody in the building at the time of the fire.
When RCMP officers and the Natuashish Fire Department arrived about 7 a.m., the building was engulfed in flames and is a total loss.
The RCMP is making arrangements to have a fire investigator come to the scene to assist in determining the cause of the fire.
This incident is under investigation.

When Hunger is not a Game
The Spring Hunger Gap arrives every year right on time creating a challenge to continue feeding one of the hungriest states in the Union; now, Advantis Credit Union's GROW fund helps local non-profits keep up with a demand that is just not waning
Hunger doesn't take a holiday. When the December donation rush tapers off in January and charitable people go back to their daily lives, hungry families continue to be just that -- hungry. For them, daily life means worry about the source of their next meal. SnowCap relieves more than 10,000 of East Metro's hungry and homeless by opening food pantries around the area. The bar is set high for local non-profits to rescue the victims of a downturned economy, especially in Oregon -- one of the hungriest states in the nation according to the Oregon Food Bank. In turn, the current economy can have a negative effect on many non-profits also dependent on being fueled from the communities they serve.
When Portland's Advantis Credit Union launched GROW, the Advantis Community Fund, their intention was to help out struggling non-profits such as SnowCap with sustainable capital improvement to serve even more people. By creating a $50,000 fund to bolster small- and moderate-sized non-profits with grants of up to $10,000, organizations can thrive and tend to the needs of those desperate for help.
SnowCap is using their $9,000 grant to purchase new food preparation equipment, plumbing, bulk food storage containers and more to be able to serve more families in need. Through their food pantry, food delivery services, and other charitable services, Snowcap will continue to help out their neighbors. And they won't stop serving hungry people during the Spring Hunger Gap when food donations taper off until the next holiday surge.
"Advantis' generous grant enables us to upgrade our food equipment and storage to better serve more families nutritious pre-packaged meals," says Kirsten Wageman, program and development director at SnowCap. "Rather than giving families huge 50 pound bags of foods that may perish, we can prepare complete meals which makes a huge difference."

Guilty plea in Martins Ferry shooting death
St. Clairsville fans honor their team
When the St. Clairsville Red Devils returned from their appearance in the Division IV State Championship Game Friday afternoon they arrived just as they had left in the morning, escorted by a parade of law enforcement and fire vehicles.
It was a bittersweet moment as the 14 seniors were introduced and walked arm-in-arm one last time across the turf at Red Devil Stadium.
Carl Brown is a dedicated football fan and has not missed a game since the 1980s and was on hand to welcome back the team, "It was a great season and this may be the biggest thing to ever happen in St. Clairsville.
"With the success of our sports teams, the pride is back in St. Clairsville," Brown continued. "This school has come a long way in the last 12 years and I feel coach McLean and Kelly Rine are the reason for that success.
"We had a big crowd in Canton toady and the city came out and showed a lot of support," Brown added. "In fact, I saw a lot of different varsity jackets from teams all around the valley, so I think the entire valley came out to support our Red Devils."
Bill Androsko said that despite the loss the team had little reason to hang their heads, "the boys did a terrific job all season and we have really enjoyed the run to Canton."
"They have a lot to be proud of and I came out to thank them for a great season," Androsko explained. "Besides, it is nice to be back in the stadium one last time."
Jena Ehni's fiance (Ben Frye) is a member of the Red Devils' coaching staff and she has been supporting both him and the team all season.
"We could not be prouder of this team," said Ehni. "How can you be upset about the game today when they have played so well all season?
"The way they carried themselves in their victories and in their defeat today shows they are a great group of young men and one woman."
"Honestly, after 15 weeks of football, I don't know what I will do with myself now that it is over."
Christa Truchan, a teacher and volleyball coach at St. Clairsville high school explained that the team is not just a group of talented athletes, "They are really good kids.
"I never thought we would go 15 weeks, it was a lot of fun," said Truchan. "I am so proud to be both one of their teachers and an alumni of St. Clairsville."
High School principal Walt Skaggs spoke to the crowd and introduced head coach Brett McLean.
The coach said he was a very emotional person, but rarely showed it outwardly choking back tears at several times during his speech.
He began by thanking the fans and the community for their support.
"It was a great feeling to look up into the stands and see them filled with a sea of red," McLean told the crowd of dedicated supporters gathered for the ceremonies.
"It has been a dream of ours to win the state title for the last 11 years," he told the crowd. "Today, it was a dream come true for our team to play in that game."
Each senior had a turn at the mic and senior lineman Corey Ernest spoke for the team as he held the silver trophy.
He also thanked the fans for all of their support throughout the season.
Mayor Robert Vincenzo spoke to the crowd about the special season, thanked the team for the season of success and complimented them on their fine representation of the city and the entire valley.
One last time the band, cheerleaders, coaches and fans joined in the alma mater and then the team went into the locker room leaving behind an empty field.
The turf will remain silent this winter but next August Red Devils will return and rekindle the hope to have another opportunity to play for a state title.

JOHNSTOWN - The Greater Johnstown School District is involved in new grant initiatives that would offer curriculum choices for students.
District Superintendent Robert DeLilli reported on grant opportunities at the board's business meeting Thursday at Johnstown High School.
"There's a number [of grants] we're working on," DeLilli said.
The superintendent mentioned the Johnstown district is taking advantage of a $2.4 million P-Tech Grant that was awarded to the region. P-Tech, or Pathways in Technology, combines high school with early college opportunities for students in grades nine and above, officials said. The district is working with the Hamilton-Fulton-Montgomery Board of Cooperative Educational Services on the grant, which will be disbursed over the next several years.
DeLilli said a training session for staff regarding the grant will be conducted Tuesday.
He also reported the district is trying to access a Teacher Leader Effectiveness Grant. The grant is part of the Board of Regents' statewide effort to strengthen educator effectiveness at all levels by having the most effective teachers and principals extend their influence by helping other educators.
DeLilli said the Broadalbin-Perth Central School District obtained the grant, which is $250,000. He said the grant helps teachers with professional development and strengthens their abilities to move up in their careers.
"The other piece of the administrator element is that it is a springboard to further their degree," DeLilli said.
Also Thursday, DeLilli reminded the board about new proposed board goals.
Board member Ronald Beck said he noticed one of the goals is to establish a climate of "transparency" and openness in the district. Along those lines, he said, he likes the idea of board "ambassadors" to events at schools.
Several board members volunteered to be ambassadors to schools, including Mark Ward and Angela Clizbe to Knox Junior High School, Kathryn Zajicek to Johnstown High School, and board President Paul VanDenburgh to Warren Street Elementary School.

Rudi, I can't speak for anyone else, but my 48 was developing low oil pressure (6 pounds) when hot and at idle. Oil useage was minimal, but it was overhauled 17+ years ago. Going to a 20w50 blended is keeping the oil pressure at about 12 pounds when hot at an idle. I apparently need crank bearings, but that is a project that is going to have to wait a while. Missy is now doing the hard work, so the 48 can take it easy for a while.Rudi wrote:1. Why should anyone put synthetics in the Cub?

We've waited and waited, but finally we can get out and enjoy a nice taste of mild air this weekend. After a snowy start and a frigid middle, the final stage of the week looks much better as the snow melt will go nonstop through the weekend. It looks as though the readings for more than 48 hours will actually stay above the freezing mark. And as if the silver lining needs to be any shinier, we don't have to worry about any major storm systems into the first part of next week. A quick reminder that we turn the clocks ahead one hour this weekend and lose an hours worth of sleep. The trade off is, it won't get dark until after 7 pm on Sunday evening.

Stonehill Service Corps - Dominican Republic is a cultural service experience in which Stonehill graduates live in La Romana, Dominican Republic and work at Hogar del Nino, a daycare and school that serves over 1,500 local children aged newborn to 18 years old.
The program is open to graduates of Stonehill College in the current year and previous two years, and runs from August through June.
Roles & Responsibilities
Corps members primarily teach English to children aged 3 to 6 in the morning. In the afternoon, they work in various positions at the facility including coordinating after-school programs. You will also be given the chance to use your unique talents within the curriculum and extracurricular activities, so graduates of any area of study are encouraged to apply.
Corps members commit to living by the program's core principles of service, community, spirituality and simple living.
Program resources will cover the cost of room and board, medical insurance, and travel expenditures to and from the destination country at the start and end of the program. A modest monthly stipend and subsidy for in-country travel will also be offered.
Student Loan Deferment or Forbearance
This volunteer experience may also allow participants to defer their student loans during their time in service. For student loan deferment or forbearance information, contact Eric Newnum, Associate Director for Loans, at 508-565-1394 or by email at email@example.com.
The Dominican Republic Corps is open to Stonehill alumni of the current and previous two graduating classes who have some Spanish fluency. No prior teaching experience is necessary, but an interest in working with children is required.
Orientation and Training
Corps members participate in a four-day orientation program at Stonehill College immediately prior to departure. Orientation and job specific training will also be conducted onsite at Hogar del Nino upon arrival.
Our 2014-2015 DR Corps
Larissa Chassman '14, Majors: International Studies and Spanish
"As a member of the Stonehill Service Corps DR, I am serving as an English teacher at the Hogar del Niño. I teach three kindergarten classes that each have 45-50 students. It's difficult having so many students in one class, but it is amazing to watch the students grow and learn each week. Together as a group this year we are striving to create a curriculum for the English program in the preschool and kindergarten. Every week we create our own lesson plans and materials for the students in hopes of creating a fun and interactive learning environment for our kids. I have also been working in the Sala Cuna, or the daycare area in the afternoons. Soon I will be working in the high school's English honors program as well."
Nina Garambone '13, Major: Biology
"This year I am fortunate enough to return to the Hogar del Nino as a second year volunteer. In tandem with our supervisor, Virginia, I am working on improving the curriculum for the preschool (Nivel Incial) based off the Common Core Standards utilized in the States. In addition, we are here to support all of the teachers of the school and our community of volunteers in the English program. In the afternoons, I work with a group of 30 students in an empowerment program. During this time, we broach a wide variety of subjects such as self-confidence, STI's, professionalism, etc. I could not be happier with my decision to serve a second year here in the Dominican Republic. I have enjoyed watching my students grow and learn from the past year to this one. They are the reason I love to get up for work each day! This has been the most beautiful journey of my life and I cannot wait to see what the rest of this year has in store for us."
Carola Melendez-Rios '13, Major: Neuroscience
"This is my second year here in the Dominican Republic working at the Hogar del Niño, and I couldn´t be any happier that I made the decision to stay. This year I am working on a discipline plan for the Nivel Inicial or the pre-school, which aims to work with teachers and assistants to improve class management in order to improve the education. Together with Angie and another teacher, I am also teaching a class for children ages 6-10 with a wide range of learning and behavioral difficulties where our goal is to improve literacy, conduct and over-all social skills. I am so lucky to wake up every single day excited to go to work to be with the incredible children of the Hogar del Niño. Every day is filled with laughter, heartbreak, hope, strength, and love and I would not change this beautiful organized chaos for anything."
Angela Moskwa '14, Majors: English and Spanish
"At the Hogar del Niño, I volunteer as an English teacher in the primary and secondary classrooms. I co-teach three Kindergarten classes with my fellow Stonehill Corps member Larissa. Our students love learning through singing and playing so we work together to plan lessons and activities that are interactive and engaging for our Kindergarteners. It is amazing how much English they have learned already! I am also teaching 8th and 9th grade English classes. I am looking forward to getting to know my students and help them improve their English through conversations, group projects and games. In the afternoons, Carola and I work with children who have learning difficulties and behavioral issues to improve their literacy and social skills. I am proud of the progress our students have made and will make as the year continues!"
Connielyn Ramos '14, Major: Neuroscience
"During my year here at the Hogar del Niño, I teach English in the Preschool, specifically to about 150 two to three year-old children every morning. In the afternoons, I teach Spanish Reading and Writing in the Deaf School to students in the Preschool, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades as well. While my title may be 'Teacher,' this school is very different from the ones we are familiar with in the United States, and I also find myself in the positions of nurturer, friend, caretaker, and mentor at times. The Hogar is a special place with extraordinary students, and I feel so blessed with the opportunity to see not only my students, but all the children here, grow and learn throughout this year. Additionally, I too am learning and growing just as much as my students are."
Melissa Ulcena '14, Major: Health Sciences
"As a volunteer at the Hogar del Niño this year, I am the pre-school English teacher for about 150 four year-old children. Each class has 50 students and it is my responsibility to create lesson plans and materials for them each week. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons I work alongside the yoga instructor and teach the kids about nutrition, the importance of being active, and how to make good choices. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I coach the Hogar del Niño's running team. The kids are in grades 8 through 12 and it is a lot of fun to use my passion for running to help these kids stay disciplined and work hard towards a goal. I'm always proud to see their improvement each week and smiling faces post-race every Saturday. My different roles at the school and the range of ages I work with makes each day different from the next and my experience here worthwhile. I couldn't be happier!"
Our 2013-2014 DR Corps
Nina Garambone '13, Major: Biology
"As a volunteer at the Hogar del Nino, I am responsible for teaching English to pre-school students ages 3 to 4 years old each morning. In addition, I teach English in the elementary school, specifically second and fourth grade. Each of these classes contain 30 to 45 students which is different from many classrooms in the states. In addition to being a teacher, we are friends and mentors to students throughout the school, giving love and support whenever it is needed. In the coming months, we will be assisting with the high school English honors program and are soon to begin a women's empowerment group at the Hogar. I have enjoyed each moment with my students and look forward to seeing them grow and learn."
Carola Melendez-Rios '13, Major: Neuroscience
"At the Hogar del Nino I am teaching English to Pre-School (ages 4-5), 1st and 3rd grade as well as assisting Nina in her 2nd and 4th grade classes. The Hogar del Nino is very different then most traditional schools and therefore come very different responsibilities then a normal teaching position. I am responsible for making lesson plans for all of my classes. I teach three groups of 45 Pre-schoolers every morning and 1st and 3rd graders (about 30-40 per class) twice a week. In addition to tearching English, we are responsible for the discipline and care of each and every one of our students which could mean anything such as giving hugs to kids having a bad day or disciplining those who need a firmer hand. Within the next few months, Nina and I will be starting a Women's Empowerment group with the middle school aged as well as high school aged girls at the school. I couldn´t be any happier or loving it more, these kids really could not be more wonderful."
Ramses Montero '13, Major: Graphic Design
"This year I am fortunate enough to be a volunteer, teacher, grant writer, mentor and friend to many amazing children at the Hogar Del Niño school. I teach English to about 120 five and six year olds every morning. In the afternoons, I teach art in small groups in the extracurricular after-school program to first and second graders. Carola, Nina and I are all working with kids from the high school to the primary school on a music project with the goal of releasing an bilingual album showcasing the Hogar´s many talents. I also work with the Patronato Benefico Oriental (PBO), the organization that helps fund the school and many other community resources, as a grant writer."

A local beauty queen, Genesis Carmona, 22, who was a college student and model died of a gunshot wound on Wednesday, Reuters reported. It is unclear how many fatalities have occured to date from Venezuela's political unrest, as imprisoned protest leader Leopoldo Lopez is urging supporters to keep fighting for the removal or departure of the current socialist government.
Carmona was shot at a protest on Tuesday in the central city of Valencia. She died later in a clinic, according to Reuters.
Beauty queens are held in high esteem in Venezuala and the latest tragedy will likely escalate tension and possibly violence as demonstrations are planned not only in the country but internationally for this weekend.

The nonprofit in downtown Birmingham, formerly known as Jones Valley Urban Farm, hopes to continue expanding its resources for teaching schoolchildren the value of eating fresh and local produce while it provides produce to some of Birmingham's best restaurants. Customers already include Bottega, Urban Standard, Highlands Bar and Grill, Hot and Hot Fish Club and the Pepper Place Saturday Market.
In order to invest in new initiatives -- including the 2013 goal of reaching 5,000 children in Birmingham classrooms -- the organization hopes to raise $100,000 through the campaign, which launched on Saturday at the Freshworks Festival and continues through 2012. Protective Life has guaranteed it will match every dollar donated to Jones Valley up to $50,000 in total contributions. That money will be reinvested in teaching programs and starting a second urban farm in Birmingham at a to-be-determined location next year, according to the farm's executive director Grant Brigham. Brigham succeeded Jones Valley founder Edwin Marty last year.
The funding is part of $3 million the Birmingham-based life insurance company plans to give nonprofits in the area this year through the Protective Life Foundation. Protective Life first invested in the farm last year, but before there was money involved, there was a food connection.
Protective Life chief executive Johnny Johns was introduced to the farm by celebrity Birmingham chef Frank Stitt. Brigham approached Protective Life Foundation Executive Director Kate Cotton to see how Protective could partner. Earlier in 2011, before Brigham had taken the role as director, Protective Life had given $25,000 to the organization.
Jones Valley had started focusing on its new direction of teaching Birmingham students from Kindergarten through eighth grade, and Brigham realized it would have needs for getting the word out, both for rebranding and fundraising, but also for raising an interest within the city for food education. "As we started to craft our new direction and decided as a board and as a staff to focus on K-8 education, we knew we were going to have messaging needs," Brigham said. "Also, we identified that we already had a problem in terms of building an individual donor base that was more expansive in Birmingham that wasn't a small niche community but was really communicating to a broader community in Birmingham."
Frank Sottosanti, who became Protective Life's chief marketing officer earlier this year, said the mission of Jones Valley Teaching farm fits with Protective's new brand promise: "Protect tomorrow. Embrace today."
"The reason we like Jones Valley Teaching Farm is we don't see it as your typical charity where you give money," Sottosanti said. "We see it more as an investment, because our contribution literally grows. It helps these young children learn about the importance of healthy eating, provides good quality food right here in our community that is easily accessible and it's sustainable."
Rather than spending time and money on a direct-mail fundraising campaign, the farm decided to have an online giving platform, where donors can track the campaign's progress and even set up individual pages within the website for other donors to give on behalf of the farm. This also makes the campaign about more than money, Brigham said. It made the organization more efficient and helps it build an ongoing relationship with donors.
Although it's a nonprofit, Brigham's goal is to continue running it like a business in the sense that it focuses on investing resources in a way that propels growth and also creates more money that can be then poured back into current and future projects. This year, Brigham said the organization's goal is to reach 3,200 students. Last year, it taught 1,700 through inviting them to the farm for a field trip. It's "an outdoor classroom," he said. Future projects will include in-classroom partnerships with teachers.
"We have ideas that we want to execute and that we feel can be very valuable and can lead to Jones Valley having a tremendous place in the educational process," Brigham said. "It's just that we need the resources to invest in those ideas."

Reno, NV Adventurous and experimental
- +
- Love that the pressure of the clamps is adjustable -easy to adjust with twisting pin.
The chain length is perfect for me -just long enough to hang a little but tight enough that is doesn't get caught on anything.
The silicone on the ends allows for great grip ability; these definitely will not slip off.
I love that they are quiet which allows for discreet play -although they would not be discreet under a shirt (i.e. in public), they are far too thick/pronounced for that.
Good shape that contoured to my body.
For my first nipple clamps, they were a pleasant surprise.
- −
- Slightly bulky.
Not very pretty -more industrial in nature.

Delegates Want Gun Permits Kept Secret
WHEELING – West Virginia's roster of concealed carry permit holders would be sealed from public view under legislation passed overwhelmingly Wednesday by the House of Delegates.
The bill passed 92-4, with four delegates not voting. All lawmakers representing the Northern Panhandle voted in favor.
The State Police maintains a registry of residents who have been issued permits by their county sheriffs. But the bill passed Wednesday – the last day for legislation to be considered in its house of origin – would exempt permits and applications from disclosure under the state's Freedom of Information Act, except for law enforcement purposes.
The National Rifle Association hailed the House vote as protecting law-abiding gun owners from criminals who may use concealed carry records to target permit holders for theft.
The measure, House Bill 4310, now moves to the Senate.

Senators expect to modify a House bill banning abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
The bill passed the House this week and is on Tuesday's agenda in the Senate Health and Human Resources Committee.
Committee chairman Ron Stollings, D-Boone, said he suspects the panel will want to address the bill's "draconian" punishment for anyone who performs an abortion after 20 weeks. The bill now specifies that those convicted could face one to five years in jail and fines up to $5,000.
Stollings also said obstetricians have raised concerns that the bill does not include an exception for nonviable fetuses.
Judiciary Committee chairman Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha, said West Virginia is one of nine states that don't have a time limitation on abortion. Most states have a 24-week cutoff.
"I was surprised to learn we are in such a small group of states that haven't passed some time limitations on when an abortion can take place," he said.
Delegates against the bill Tuesday in the House raised issues regarding its constitutionality on the grounds that women have a right to an abortion. Both Stollings and Palumbo said the committees would consider that aspect while reviewing the bill.
- ? ?
A legislative chairman says many of his committee members are leaning against making a cold medicine used to cook meth available by prescription only.
House of Delegates Judiciary Committee Chairman Tim Manchin says a bill to make pseudoephedrine prescription only will come up Monday or Tuesday. Manchin said there's a fair amount of opposition in his committee. He said he was struggling with the bill.
The proposal excludes certain drugs deemed tamper-resistant.
Manchin said other options exist if the committee won't pass that version. One would further limit how much pseudoephedrine someone can buy annually.
Delegate Don Perdue, a prescription-only advocate, thinks the House would pass the bill if Manchin's committee endorses it.

A legislative committee is changing a proposal to stiffen aboveground storage tank regulations and safeguard water systems against chemical spills.
The House of Delegates Judiciary Committee introduced an amended bill Thursday to exempt tanks holding less than 1,310 gallons and facilities that mix or make chemicals.
The bill would require public water systems that take in water from lakes, rivers and streams to craft protection plans, potentially with money from state reserves.
A week before the session ends, the bill has two committees to pass a House vote. The Senate would need to agree on any changes.
House Speaker Tim Miley said he thinks lawmakers can finish the bill by session's end.

CLEVELAND -- There was no room in the big-league bullpen for Jose Valverde. An agreed-upon time period for him to spend in the minors had passed. So the two sides parted ways.
That's how Detroit Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski explained the circumstances behind the unconditional release the Tigers gave Valverde earlier in the day Wednesday.
Dombrowski said the two sides agreed that Valverde would spend up to 30 days with Triple-A Toledo after Valverde accepted an assignment to the minors after being designated for assignment by the Tigers. The initial agreement was extended by 10 days after Valverde had some personal issues that required him to leave the Mud Hens for a spell.
But after the extended period reached its end, the Tigers had to promote him to the big leagues or give him a chance to pursue other opportunities.
"It just came down to a decision where we had to decide whether we were going to bring him up or not at this time," Dombrowski said, "and we decided not to do that. He in turn asked for his release, which we granted."
Valverde had a 4.09 ERA and seven saves in 11 games for Triple-A Toledo at the time of his release. He had a 5.59 ERA in 20 games for the Tigers this season and converted nine of 12 save opportunities for the Tigers.
"It's just one of those things where we tried and he tried and it just didn't work," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We'll always have great memories of him. He did a terrific job for us and this organization. I don't know what his plans are, but we certainly wish him the best. He was a terrific closer and a terrific teammate."
Leyland said he will always remember Valverde for his save in Game 5 of the 2011 American League Division Series that launched the Tigers in the AL Championship Series. Valverde entered the game in Yankee Stadium with the Tigers holding a 3-2 lead and retired Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez in order for the final three outs of the game.
Granderson flied out to shallow left-center and Cano lined out to center before Valverde struck Rodriguez to swing and miss at strike three to end the game. Those playoffs came on the heels of a season in which Valverde converted all 49 save opportunities into saves.
"I thought that was the finale of an unbelievable 49-for-49 (season)," Leyland said. "That's a pretty good finale in Game 5 of the division series."
Dombrowski said he hoped Valverde would be remembered by fans for what he accomplished over the long haul.
"He's been tremendous for us," Dombrowski said. "He's done a great job, been a great teammate. He's a well like individual by all of us. I hope that people remember him for what he did rather than those couple little blips on the radar screen, because he was tremendous for us for three seasons."

Skating on barely true ice
December 31, 2009 - Jim Anderson
I suppose now is as good a time as any to wipe the egg off my face.
I've been blasting Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., for claiming that the Democrats added the public option into health care reform after the 2008 presidential campaign.
Citing what I thought were rock-solid references (Obama's campaign platform) to disprove the senator, I questioned whether he could still list Earth as his home.
But now this:
"I didn't campaign on a public option."
That's what, ahem, Barack Obama told the Washington Post in a Dec. 22 interview.
I'm so sorry, Sen. Lieberman?
PolitiFact, a project of the St. Petersburg Times, rates Obama's statement to the Post as true. Sort of. They say it's "barely true."
"We were able to find the (public option) proposal pretty quickly after looking in Obama's campaign literature, but he didn't discuss it very much during the campaign," Politifact concluded. "That's true for both the general election and the Democratic primary."
The integrity of Obama's statement depends, I suppose, on how you define "campaign."
Columnist Ezra Klein of the Washington Post finds Obama's statement "impossible to defend."
"For one thing, it was in his campaign plan, which is to say, he campaigned on it," Klein writes.
Klein does concede the White House's argument that a public option wasn't emphasized in speeches.
"But speaking as someone who did a lot of reporting on their health-care plan, they emphasized it privately quite a bit," he continues. "It was, in fact, their answer to a lot of the other flaws in their proposal. So whether Obama used it in his speeches, his campaign purposefully pushed it to, at the least, some reporters, which is to say they worked to ensure that people knew about the public option's important role in their health-care thinking."
Klein calls Obama's latest statement "hair-splitting at best and misleading at worst." It is, he says, a good example of why the left is losing its trust in Obama.
Syndicated columnist David Sirota recently compiled a list of the Top 10 quotations of the past decade. This is not a "best" list. It's a worst list that exposes "a nation that has internalized and accepted the forces of avarice, corruption, dishonesty, incompetence and insensitivity."
No. 2 on Sirota's list:
"I didn't campaign on the public option." - President Obama on Dec. 22, 2009, expecting the public to forget that his presidential campaign platform explicitly promised to pass health care legislation giving all Americans "the opportunity to enroll in a new public plan."
Given the competition of the past decade (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the flying-saucer Heene family), it's impressive that Obama could bounce in at No. 2.
As for that egg ...
Meet me for breakfast on Mars, Sen. Lieberman?

An upcoming community meeting will touch on progress with the proposed Alliant gas-fire plant.
Officials from Alliant will hold the meeting from 8 to 9 a.m. Thursday at Fisher Community Center, 709 S. Center St.
Ryan Stensland, a spokesperson for Alliant, said the meeting is to provide a quarterly update on the project's activity including permit and regulatory progress.
Article Photos
Alliant officials will discuss developments with the proposed gas-fire station Thursday. The proposed plant will be near, and will replace, the current Sutherland Station, shown here in this file photo.
"There are no surprises coming out of this meeting," he said. "We are still full-steam ahead with the project."
Tom Aller, president of Interstate Power and Light Company, which owns Alliant, and Lee Hanson, director of generation construction, will be on hand to give updates and answer questions from the public.
The Iowa Utilities Board (IUB), the regulatory body responsible for issuing permits to give the project the green light, will hold an evidentiary hearing May 21, where the board will cross examine those who have shown support of the station's construction.
Fact Box
If you go ...
WHAT: Informational meeting about Alliant gas-fire plant
WHERE: Fisher Community Center, 709 S. Center St.
WHEN: 8 to 9 a.m. Thursday
WHY: To give citizens a chance to ask questions and comment on the project
Hanson, the new project leader, said it's important to the company that it keeps Marshalltown citizens informed about the project's details.
"It's a big project for us. It's a big project for Iowa," he said. "We have to take it one step at a time. You have to work through the process."
The proposed 600 megawatt station will be located near the Sutherland Station on the east edge of Marshalltown, which it will replace when that station shuts down at the end of 2014. Construction on the $750 million gas plant is slated for completion the first quarter of 2017.
Stensland said in addition to informing the community where efforts to push the project forward stand, it will also act as a forum for citizens to ask questions and raise any concerns they have.
Resistance to the project has been minimal Hanson and Stensland both said. The men both said ironing out minor details, instead of overhauling major concerns, has streamlined the process significantly.
"Nobody is disputing that we need the plant or the site of the plant," Stensland said. "We are starting from a position of strength."
Forging an ongoing dialogue between Alliant officials and community members and local government will help address issues before they snowball, Stensland said.
The IUB filings on the project can be found online at iub.iowa.gov. The docket numbers are GCU-2012-0001 and RPU-2012-0003.

Ice Climbing Courses
What do you do when the rock turns your fingers cold and the leaves have long since fallen off the trees? Sit by the fire and drink hot cocoa? NO WAY! It is time to pull on the gloves, tighten the ice leashes, strap on the crampons, and climb some ice! Many people find ice climbing to be a great way to enjoy the cold and a great way to stay in shape. Fortunately, modern gear and clothing have transformed a once harsh experience into an activity mere mortals can enjoy. Ice climbing is a blast and Earth Treks' ice climbing seminars are a great way to get in on the fun! Your arms and calves will surely be aching by the end of the course, but the thrill of climbing a sheet of ice in a spectacular mountain environment will be well worth the hard work. No experience necessary- just a yearning for a frosty winter adventure!
Earth Treks' ice climbing seminars are taught in the Adirondacks of New York near Lake Placid. The "Dacks" boasts exceptional single and multi-pitch climbing, stunning scenery, and reliable ice climbing conditions.

try the following code
VA <- mxMatrix(name="VA", type="Symm", nrow=5, ncol=5)
DZ <- mxAlgebra(.5 %x% VA, name="covDZA")
test <- mxModel(model="test", VA, DZ )
rm1 <- mxModel(test, test@matrices$VA, remove=TRUE)
rm2 <- mxModel(test, test@algebras$covDZA, remove=TRUE)
rm3 <- mxModel(test, test@algebras$DZ, remove=TRUE)
why doesn't remove=TRUE work with rm1 and rm2 while it fails to throw an error or warning with rm3?
thought that this was sorted out. see http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/thread/269
OK I've checked in a patch to fix the more significant issue. The original behavior of the argument remove = TRUE was for the function mxModel() to accept character strings instead of the objects themselves. I've added an example on the wiki that explains why it is less error-prone to use the name of an object instead of the object itself.
At some point, a bug was introduced and remove = TRUE stopped working for character vectors. And since we never checked for the objects themselves when remove = TRUE, the thing was hopelessly broken. In the patch, some sensible error messages are printed when someone uses objects with remove = TRUE, or when someone uses character vectors when remove = FALSE. I've also added some test cases to the test suite to make sure this doesn't happen again.
So in OpenMx 1.0.4, the following will work:
VA <- mxMatrix(name="VA", type="Symm", nrow=5, ncol=5) DZ <- mxAlgebra(.5 %x% VA, name="covDZA") test <- mxModel(model="test", VA, DZ ) rm1 <- mxModel(test, "VA", remove=TRUE) rm2 <- mxModel(test, "covDZA", remove=TRUE)
This looks like one big bug and one small bug. The remove=TRUE should work on rm1 and rm2. I'm getting an internal error message when I try it, which is bad. I'll fix it. We'll release OpenMx 1.0.4 in a few days with this patch. In the construction of rm3, the expression test@algebras$DZ yields NULL. This is the small bug. It's unclear whether adding or removing NULL from a model should either (a) return the original model, the current behavior, or (b) throw an error. I'm in favor of throwing an error.
In the meantime, you can use:
rm1 <- test rm1$VA <- NULL
But I'll fix it shortly.

I have just resently come out as bi sexual 33 year old women, i know that i am attracted to men and women but i feel like that i am traped,
I have know i was different for a number of years but i dint think it was normal for a women to be bi so i cept it to my self for a number of years untill till now.
and now i am find in it hard to deal with
I just want a watch someone masterbating
Im masterbating now, im going to eat my load
Thera. That to. It start out masterbating
I love masterbating while others watch
Does masterbating to Raquel Welch in Parade Magazine in the Sunday newspaper count?
iwld love to have 2 or 3 playing women w/there pussy while me and some do the 69 till they cum
It is damn hard, I've been looking for a long time too. A lot of women are curious or more, they just won't admit it until they know the guy enough to feel comfortable and that takes time. They need to know they can trust the guy, before bringing another fem into the picture and not threaten the realtionship she has established.
ual pleasure adventures should enhance the relationship, not threaten it, but most people due to social upbringing cannot deal with it. Since you are still young (haha), perhaps another approach.... date some of the women, after a couple of hot steamy session, just ask if there is interest, you might be quite surprised? Look for clues, if the date already has a bare pussy..... most straight women I know don't go that far till I do it for them hehehehehe 95% of the women that I know that are bi, shave, they don't like curly dental floss any more that the guys do!!!!!
40+ something athletic male looking to explore bi thoughts. no more masterbating about this, real thing wanted.
prefer non smokers, my privacy is very important, otherwise I'm game
If you don,t mind big girls I wanna lick your pussy till you scream. I like neat very hygiene oriented women. No drama. My husband stays out of the loop. You would never meet him or anything. So if you wanna have some fun and get your pussy eaten out like you have never had it eaten before hit me up. I love married women who are or just want to sneak around like I do.
As a first times that has never been with a guy . I am looking for someone for mutual masterbating and oral . Just to take it step by step . Looking for a coach to help with the right way apor the wrong way
well let's see.....my first encounter was when i was in my early teens with a friend of mine. He had snuck some of his dads magazines and we were looking at them in our "hideout" and as was stated earlier one thing led to another and "I'll suck yours if you suck mine" came out of his mouth. I was hesitant but went first and had my first taste. As brief as it was i didn't mind the taste and when he sucked on mine( a lot longer than I had his) I truly enjoyed the feeling. We never did anything more ever again but it stuck in my mind and I found myself masterbating to the memory more and more.
Jump forward a couple of years.........I was 15 or 16 and took a part time job at a local business during the evenings and one of the guys I worked with was gay. He didn't advertise it but he didn't deny it either. Even tho he was at least ten years older we became friends. One because he was a good guy and two because he would buy me and my friends beer(LOL). Knowing he was gay caused me to think of my previous encounter more and one night after a small party me and some of my friends crashed at his place instead of facing our parents after we had been drinking. As I lay there trying to go to sleep I couldn't get the thought out of my head so i waited till I was for sure that everyone was asleep and I went to his room.
I sat on the edge of the bed and ran my hand under the covers and to his cock. I rubbed his cock and felt it getting hard under in my hand. I don't know exactly when he woke but I knew he was awake when he pulled the covers aside and completely exposed himself. There was just enough light in the room that I could barely make out his form and his member in my hand. I had thought about this for so long and now was my chance. I hesitated only for a second and place my mouth on him and tried to do everything that I thought would feel good to me. That night I gave my first blowjob and received my first real blowjob from another man and also experienced another mans ass for the first time. It wasn't till a week or so later that I got up the courage to let him fuck me. It was one of the best feelings I've ever felt. I am so glad that he was patient and very gentle with me.
We continued to have sex till I graduated high-school and left my hometown.
I will always remember him and the wonderful things he showed me.
sorry for rambling on and on......~Keith
hey,how are you?i would love to get together with you.i would like to go down on you till you cum all over my face and then fuck you till you cumm all over my cock.if your intrested let me know.
Masturbating for someone to watch was one of the most difficult thing for me when I was first sexually active, but mutual masturbation was incredible. In college a friend of mine started a group, and I'd love to put together another one, but only if it's coed. (there's a big men-only jack-off group here in NYC, but it's not quite my cup of tea).
Imagine your husband, on his back, being massaged by several men & women at once. Your hand rides his oiled cock, but you run over someone else's fingers there, too. His penis pulses, the balls tighten, but then everybody forgets the desperate cock and massages his chest & arms till the near-orgasm passes. He only gets more sexual stimulation when you decide he can handle it, but we stop when he needs to come. We do that till you decide he can have release, and after he comes, it's your turn...
Is she able to get herself off? An ex of mine was really hard to get off until she finaly started masterbating (at the age of 34!) and realized other ways that helped her orgasm (certain spots, techniques ect) after that I was able to find many ways to get her off.
3 Men 1 Wife
I, (the wife) have had a few experiences with 3-men. My husband loved it and so did I. What I loved the most was sucking a cock while I was having my cunt eaten and the third guy was sucking my tits. I loved looking over and seeing my husband masterbating as he watched....then he joined in by rimming my ass. I just came and came. Nothing like having the ok from the husband to have what you want. 3 men is the maximum I have ever done, but I love sucking cock and having a guy suck and lick my cunt. Of course I love to be fucked. Husband is bi and loves to suck off the guys after I am done with them. He always swallows and loves the feel of hot cum shooting down his throat. Once in a while I get to steal a guys load from him. After everyone goes home we just fuck and suck each other for a couple of hours reemanising on what happened earlier. Try it you will love it !
Asian Women
I have had the pleasure of dating a couple of Asian women that were about 4' 10" and had very proportionate bodies. They where very enthusiastic when it came to sex. I have a great fondness for women under 5 foot tall and especially Asian women.

Women Who Love Giving Blowjobs
Ok, lets break it down this way..
there are women who, will suck cock, if only to please the guy..
Then there are women who actually love sucking... And lets be honest..

Posted April 04, 2008CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee -- The redevelopment of Chattanooga's Southside is the focus of a People and Places article in the April 2008 issue of Southern Living.
Titled "Southside Success," the piece highlights the efforts of Chattanooga architects Heidi Hefferlin and Craig Kronenberg to help revive downtown after relocating to "Rustville," Southside's nickname before its renewal.
The Southern Living article points out that Hefferlin grew up in Apison, while Kronenberg is a Chicago native. They worked on architectural projects in California and Europe before moving to Chattanooga in the 1990s.
Since then they designed and moved into the 1800 Cowart townhomes complex. They're helping with a renovation of the Warehouse Row area, and they recently designed a new headquarters for Coker Tire Company.
The story notes that Chattanooga encourages artists to invest in the Southside. "Our neighbors include a schoolteacher, a real estate agent and a retired priest," Kronenberg told the magazine. "We've always felt good about the neighborhood and because artists have started moving in, we feel even better."
The three-page article includes thumbnails sketches of Southside shops and art galleries.
