Vodafone customers will be able to enjoy the same benefits when they go on their holidays this summer as they do when at home. From 1 June to the end of August, both prepay and monthly customers will be able to call, text and send multimedia messages from over 35 countries back to the UK for the same price as they usually would. Customers who have already signed up to the operator's discount roaming service, 'Vodafone Passport' will automatically benefit from the promotion , while pay monthly customers can sign up by texting the word 'Passport' to 97888 from 15 May and prepay customers by texting 2345 or alternatively by visiting www.vodafone.co.uk/roaming.
However, that's not all. Vodafone is also slashing the cost of calling abroad from the UK for prepay customers on their Simply tariff. By signing up to the Vodafone International call plan, calls to international destinations will cost as little as 5p per minute to both landlines and mobiles. To benefit from this offer customers should call 36888, text the word 'international' to 2345, visit www.vodafone.co.uk/international or by talking to an advisor in one of Vodafone's UK stores.

Hunting is a "sport" that involves killing things that are alive for no good reason other than fun. Hence it is a common activity for Pro-life activists. Conservative hunters tend to desecrate the bodies of their hunt, cutting off heads, making jokes about the animals' deaths and generally being unpleasant.
Real hunting is that which is done purely for food and not "sport", people who do this are much more likely to kill the animal in a way which causes the least amount of suffering possible and still displays respect for the animal.

The new AirPrime HL modules include satellite navigation support and are the smallest embedded wireless modules (22 x 23 mm) to be completely interchangeable across 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies.The company said the AirPrime HL series provide device manufacturers with the ability to serve different regions, across multiple network technologies, with one device design.The AirPrime HL series is designed to be flexible, providing manufacturers with the choice of soldering down the module for efficient high-volume production, or using an innovative snap-in socket. With the snap-in socket, device manufacturers can quickly place the module in the device any time in the production cycle and swap 2G modules for 3G or 4G modules in the future, even in completed and field-deployed devices.With both the snap-in and solder-down options, manufacturers can leverage one design for their 2G, 3G, and 4G deployments, simply by changing the module installed in production – no other changes to the device design would be required.In addition to the flexible hardware design, the AirPrime HL series is designed to be future-proof. With AirVantage Management Service, an off-the-shelf cloud-based M2M platform from Sierra Wireless, customers can easily upgrade device firmware over-the-air for thousands or even millions of deployed devices at a time, ensuring they can stay in service for many years while lowering maintenance time and operating costs."We know that integrating new technology is one of the key challenges our customers face in their M2M deployments and it can prevent customers from deploying or evolving to new technologies as quickly as they would like to," said Dan Schieler, senior vice president, OEM solutions for Sierra Wireless."The AirPrime HL Series meets that challenge head-on, providing a clear and simple 2G-to-4G migration path, the flexibility to swap modules as required, and effective, scalable firmware management for post-deployment upgrades. It's an innovative solution to some of the most critical issues we see in M2M deployments across multiple industries."Sierra Wireless described the AirPrime HL series as ideal for M2M communications applications in point-of-sale, smart grid, and fleet management or tracking, with GNSS (GPS and GLONASS) included.Samples of the first product in the series, called the HL6528 (2G), are available now with commercial shipments expected to begin in the first quarter of 2014.Samples of the HL8548 (3G) are expected to be available in the first quarter, with commercial shipments expected in mid-2014. 4G LTE versions will follow, with more specific launch dates to be announced later.

text: Masters just don't appear out of thin air. No, a good master, like a good slave, needs training. And this session is all about training a new, well-hung master. I've seen Christian Wilde around on other gay porn sites (mainly Next Door Buddies) so I was excited when he decided to crawl into the depraved hole that is Bound Gods. Christian is handsome and he's got a tight, muscled body. Head Master Van Darkholme takes Christian under his tutelage and since the Master feels that doms need to know what they're dishing out, he ties up Christian and gives him a hard flogging. Slave Patrick Rouge is waiting patiently in the metal cage -- what choice does he have? This episode is actually being filmed live, so members are already chiming in with suggestions on how to handle Patrick. Master Van takes Christian through the paces, and together they practice on Patrick. The muscle stud endures the flogger, the cane, butterfly nipple clamps, and the spider gag. And as if poor Patrick hasn't been through enough already, he's corralled in a metal stockade and Christian throws a punishing fuck into him. In the end, Patrick takes two loads of cum all over his welt-covered body. It looks like Christian's training was a success and he'll be back for some more practice sessions on helpless slaves.

Unexpected Sources for Gourmet Groceriesby Elizabeth Brownfield in News, November 11th, 2016
Sure, having a go-to neighborhood grocery store for all your essentials is key to maintaining a well-stocked pantry. But don't overlook these sources for imported items and gourmet goods at a fraction of the cost you'd pay at regular grocers.
T.J. Maxx
Along with its sister stores Marshalls and HomeGoods, T.J. Maxx is a treasure trove of specialty foods at better prices than you'd find them elsewhere. On any given day, you may find an array as varied as gorgeous Italian pastas in shapes you've never seen, pink Himalayan salt, good-quality canned tuna from Spain, Italian truffle paste, samplers from high-end tea purveyors and Bloody Mary mix. (In fact, this list is a fraction of the items I've actually snagged there — most for substantially less than they would cost in grocery stores.) The stock is usually more organized than the chaotic assortment of clothes, shoes and home products the store is known for, but you still get the same thrill of the hunt. The selection is usually anything but reliable, but on a recent trip to North Carolina, when I couldn't find the whole flax seeds and chia seeds my niece and I needed for a baking project at regular grocery stores, I found them at HomeGoods.
Where to shop: brick-and-mortar stores
World Market
Best known for its mix of globally inspired furniture and home decor, World Market boasts a similarly eclectic mix of globetrotting foods and spirits and feels a bit like cult-favorite grocery Trader Joe's. Look for Café Du Monde Beignet Mix, organic coconut palm sugar, Guittard baking chocolates, chickpea snacks, pickled okra, and soba and udon noodles, plus cucumber sake and apple-pie moonshine packaged in a Mason jar.

I really love the toon stuff, but this isn't one of those toon sites. It is a link list really, but done in a blog style. Interesting concept, and the sites are clearly identified as to whether its free, pay, or a blog.
Don't see many Blogs listed though, lot of free sites, which really are just assorted galleries of pictures that lead to the pay sites that the pictures come from.

The opening scenes of the book of Job show us a few crucial points.

A concrete-testing company and its laboratory director have been indicted on charges that they falsified test reports about the strength of concrete at some of New York's largest construction projects, the Manhattan district attorney's office said on Wednesday.
The indictments against the company, Stallone Testing Laboratories, and its director, William Bayer, 69, were announced at a news conference by District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau. The defendants were later arraigned in State Supreme Court in Manhattan on charges of scheming to defraud and offering a false instrument for filing.
The charges against Stallone Testing, which officials said were part of a continuing investigation into concrete-testing fraud, follow the similar indictment in October of another company, Testwell Laboratories.
Testwell, one of the biggest concrete-testing companies in the New York area, was charged with systematically falsifying its results at projects including the Freedom Tower at ground zero.
"If Testwell is equivalent to Coca-Cola, Stallone would be more like R.C.," said Diana Florence, an assistant district attorney.Continue reading the main story
Luigi P. DeMaio, a lawyer for Stallone Testing and Mr. Bayer, said the charges were "nonsense," adding, "Everything we tested came out above specifications."
Mr. Morgenthau's office released a list of 90 city projects that have been found to have false mix-design test reports, which indicate the strength of concrete. The projects included the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the World Trade Center transit hub and the Second Avenue subway, plus nursing homes, schools, highways and bridges.
Officials from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the city's School Construction Authority attended the news conference. They indicated that they were in the process of testing the projects on the list that were under their jurisdiction for safety, and so far, nothing had been discovered that was cause for concern.
The investigation into Testwell led the city's Department of Buildings to begin spot-checking concrete labs and pour sites.
Mr. Morgenthau said that test reports seized at Stallone Testing's offices in Port Chester, N.Y., showed that the company was not performing mix-design tests as required by the New York City Building Code.
The tests indicate the strength results for concrete based on the type of sand or cement used, and take weeks to complete. They are necessary before concrete can be poured at any project.
According to the investigation, contractors paid for mix-design tests that were not performed, and that some of Stallone Testing's reports were false "because the results were scientifically impossible," Mr. Morgenthau said.
"The testing is required by law; that safety net was bypassed," the district attorney said. He added that Stallone Testing charged $225 for each report and that contractors "could get a report overnight that would normally take 28 days."
Mr. Bayer — who worked two days a week for $600 a week, according to the district attorney's office — is charged with allowing a Stallone Testing vice president to approve hundreds of mix-design test reports that certified Mr. Bayer had supervised the tests when he had not.
Before the arraignment, Mr. DeMaio described Stallone Testing's mix-testing as a standard operation. "No one is saying we contributed to the building of any unsafe buildings," he said. "I have no idea what they are saying we falsified."
Patrick Dugan, the chief of investigations at the district attorney's office, said that investigators were in the process of identifying the contractors who received the test results and the records they received. "That's the next chapter," he said.Continue reading the main story

I can't honestly think of a governor I would want as president.
Looks like Walker is bucking to be VP on Chria Christie's ticket
I agree. The GOP has a lot of them right now, but I don't think any are as stoutly conservative or charismatic as the circumstances require.
Cruz and Palin are the party's top talent right now.
I admire Gov. Walker.
However ...
Unsurprisingly, he doesn't seem to understand the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.
More specifically, the federal government basically has the power to maintain the armed forces, negotiate treaties including trade, and make sure the US Mail gets delivered. Most things that the federal government does beyond those basic things is based on state powers which the corrupt federal government has wrongly stolen from the states.
So although his intentions are likely good, as a consequence of not knowing the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, Gov. Walker is inadvertently helping to keep the unconstitutonally big federal government unconstitutionally big imo.
Mike Pence, maybe?
His position as Gov is just a resume builder.
I think we do not need any training presidents! We need people who have ran things. That would include the Likes of Huckabee, Palin, Walker, Perry and even Mitt Romney. Now, in some cases we might pick a general who has ran a big war or effort—Like IKE,
I can think of a former governor who would be a great president, and I hope American voters can make it happen.

With the Oakland A's sitting 6.5 games out of first place and in need of a spark, the A's are eagerly awaiting the return of their lead-off hitter Coco Crisp. Crisp has been out all season after having surgery on his right elbow at the end of spring training.
Crisp, a switch-hitter, took batting practice right-handed on Friday. He said afterwards that the plan was for him to swing left-handed during BP on Saturday. He will start playing in games on Sunday. Crisp is expected to play four games with the Ports before returning to the A's, but he said after his BP session that if he feels good before those four games are up, he will let the A's know, implying he could return to Oakland sooner than that.
Below is video from some of Crisp's BP session.

Boats, pearls, crabs: New museum channels Miami
Published: Sunday, January 12, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 9, 2014 at 1:08 p.m.
Model yachts, rustic fishing boats and wooden rafts dangle above visitors as they step into the new Perez Art Museum Miami. The colorful display is both a playful nod to South Florida's maritime culture and a somber reference to the perilous journeys many make to get here. It is the perfect entry to a museum that channels the city around it: whimsical, vibrant, brimming with culture from across the Americas — and yes, a work in progress.
Where: 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami
Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday; Thursdays until 9 p.m.
Admission: $12 adults; $8 seniors, students and children ages 7-18
For more information: www.pamm.org or 305-375-3000
The museum, which opened in December, still lacks a permanent blockbuster, but its retrospective of Chinese master and political dissident Ai Weiwei, on display through mid-March, should temporarily satisfy. And the museum's eclectic and provocative collection, coupled with its bay-front location, has quickly turned the PAMM — as locals already call it — into a must-see destination for tourists and natives.
"Our biggest competition down here isn't the other cultural institutions. It's the beach, the water," museum director Thom Collins said. "So, rather than compete, the museum embraces its surroundings."
As in the rest of Miami's booming downtown, visitors to the Perez Museum are immediately greeted by construction along the museum's front plaza and at the site of a neighboring science museum, set to open in 2015. Once under the PAMM's shaded deck, though, Ai's mammoth bronze animal Zodiac Heads welcome guests, and the call of gulls and ocean breezes take over.
The Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architect firm Herzog & de Meuron took pains to design an airy and hurricane resistant building, with a wide, shaded deck that can serve as the rare outdoor communal space in a city with scorching temperatures and no central park. Beneath the deck's three-story slatted roof, shrubbery-covered columns hang like an abstract enchanted forest, pumping recaptured rainwater through hidden pipes to further cool the deck.
Inside, strategically placed windows offer views of the beaches and downtown skyline and provide natural light, while an open floor plan ensures future exhibits can be shaped around new acquisitions.
Ai's retrospective, which includes symbolic crab piles, buckets of pearls, a maze of hundreds of bicycle wheels and an exploration of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, will be followed by a retrospective of Caribbean art and an exhibit by Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes, whose psychedelic color bursts have earned her fame throughout Latin America and Europe.
Collins says contemporary Latin American artists like Milhazes are sometimes overlooked by major U.S. museums.
"Her work is so baroque and sexual, and often in the U.S. we are somewhat puritanical," he said, "but it will be well-received here."
The desire to tap into Miami sensibilities, culture and history is what drew Collins and chief curator Tobias Ostrander to the boat installation entitled, "For Those in Peril on the Sea." The work by Guyana-raised artist Hew Locke originally hung in a British church but could have easily been commissioned for Miami.
The museum's strong suit is its Latin American collection, a sizeable portion of which came from Colombian-born developer Jorge Perez, who donated a combined $40 million in cash and art to earn naming rights. Perez, the son of Cuban exiles, has been a major force behind Miami's urban redevelopment. He says it's only natural that the museum would have such a strong Latin American and Latino influence.
"It's a museum that tries to capture Miami, and in capturing Miami, you have to understand what America — all of the Americas — are about," he said.
The museum's semi-permanent exhibit is entitled "Americana" and divided into themes rather than chronology: myth and identity, landscapes and desire, pop art and traditional crafts. Perez's collection includes some works by Latin American powerhouses like Colombian Fernando Botero, Mexico's Diego Rivera and Cuban artist Wilfredo Lam. But many of the museum's most interesting pieces are by less well-known artists such as El Paso native Adrian Esparza, who literally deconstructs the cliche Mexican serape and repurposes it into a vast, complex, geometric weaving.
One of the most popular initial exhibits is that of the late Cuban Avant-garde painter Amelia Peláez, revered in Miami's Cuban exile community. Collins and Ostrander say they'd also like to produce a show by current Cuban artists — a bold move in a town where many still believe such attention would only benefit the island's aging communist government, but also one that like the museum itself, reflects the complex and evolving nature of Miami in the 21st century.

Getting started as a financial analyst begins with earning a bachelor's degree, though advanced positions usually require a master's. The major itself doesn't necessarily matter, as financial analysts receive training from their employers. However, certain majors present an advantage, such as finance, economics, business and computer science, while others, like a liberals arts major, might make it difficult to adjust. Analysts handle a variety of work functions but one in particular stands out.
The Green Stuff
If a financial analyst's primary duty could be summed up in one word, it would be "money." A financial analyst evaluates businesses's financial profiles to summarize their solvency, growth potential and economic stability to recommend investments to clients. They study business trends and the economy, and prepare reports on their analyses of financial data. They may meet with business officials to get an understanding of their plans for the business and anticipated revenue. Everything in a financial analyst's world revolves around money.
Staying Current
An analyst who stays wrapped up in his own world won't be able to compete with his peers. It's essential that analysts remain up-to-date on what's going on the world of business and money. This means taking on a large reading load: newspapers, magazines, business journals and reports. Many events have a major impact on the economy, and the more a financial analyst knows, the better he'll be able to predict what will happen in the financial world.
Face Time
Financial analysts have to build strong relationships with their clients. After all, it's their clients' money they're handling. Being in a position like that requires being given a great deal of trust, something that isn't easily earned over the phone. Analysts therefore spend a lot of time with clients, both during work and after hours. Attending social events and conferences not only encroaches on an analyst's personal life, but it can be quite expensive.
Analysts travel a great deal. Clients don't always live right down the street. Meeting face-to-face with them often means hopping on a plane to fly states away. Traveling may also be involved when analysts visit businesses in person to evaluate their financial records.

The NFL fined New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs $10,000 on Tuesday for throwing his helmet into the stands during a road loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Jacobs, who signed a contract in February 2009 that was set to pay him $15 million in the first two years, reiterated an apology for the incident in a statement released by the team on Tuesday.
"I want to apologize one more time for accidentally tossing my helmet in the stands," Jacobs said. "It was something that happened because I was frustrated with the game, and I had no business tossing my helmet in the first place, and I am thankful that nobody was hurt."
The unidentified fan who caught the helmet in the stands, about six rows behind the Giants bench, said that the people in the section were lucky not to be injured. He added that a police officer demanded that he give Jacobs' helmet back.
Jacobs also dismissed a report from Monday that claimed he planned to demand a trade. Jacobs has been unhappy with his role in the Giants' offense.
"I talked to (GM) Jerry (Reese) and coach (Tom) Coughlin yesterday," Jacobs said. "Both of them asked to speak with me. I didn't request a meeting with them. I have not demanded a trade and have no plans to demand a trade. The only demand I am making right now is of myself, to be the best player I can be and to help this team win."

North of Clifton in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, the 12.6 mile East Eagle Trail is a nice trail since it is less steep than many in the area. The access road to the trailhead passes by the location of an old sawmill camp. Not much remains except for a few pieces of machinery and vehicles.
Some good loop opportunities exist using East Eagle Trail as a starting point. The trail was partially reconstructed and re-routed in 1994 with support from the Arizona State Trails Heritage Fund and the Trailblazers, a local volunteer group from Greenlee County.
Sawmill Cabin is reached after 7.5 miles. This cabin is maintained by the grazing permit holder but is open to the public. You are asked to leave it as you found it or better. West of Sawmill Cabin the canyon widens out. Previous floods have washed away much of the trail so you will need to pick your way through the rocks. The trail ends or starts west of the cabin at Honeymoon Campground.
Trail Log:
0.0 Junction with Eagle Creek Road #217
2.0 Junction with Dry Prong Creek and East Eagle Canyon
6.0 Junction with Salthouse Trail #18. This concludes six miles of jeep road.
6.25 Junction with Hot Air Trail #15 which heads south
8.25 Junction with Crabtree Trail #22. Elevation 6000
12.6 Junction with US 191 at 7200 feet
To reach the horseback riding trailhead from Clifton take Highway 191 north 67 miles to trail #33, turn left onto the dirt road and proceed about 1/2 mile.
Overall, East Eagle Trail is the 11th most popular horse trail of all 49 horseback rides in Arizona.

I agree with the comments about Councilor Gaylord in regards to him being very slick while presenting little of substance, or anything that shows he cares about any interests beyond those of the moneyed developers. And as his constituent, I have had little opportunity to engage with him on issues I am concerned about, although I have tried. I have to say, I don't think the statement "District E residents have complained that Gaylord passes off their emails to city staff and does not engage with them." is a "whatevs" for a city council person. His job is to be responsive to constituent needs, and if he can't do that while representing them in District E, he's not going to do that as mayor.
Policies have real effects on people's lives, though. A women told the story of an insurance company's policy not to cover pre-existing conditions at any cost, meaning her son couldn't get any health insurance at all because of a birth defect. And the ER at the hospital had a policy of not covering un-reimbursed care for non-emergencies, meaning her son was not given any treatment as his cancer progressed. He died at age 34 because these policies meant he couldn't get treatment. I don't think that's hyperbole.
Population control advocates have always walked a fine line between engaging with the issue of resources becoming more ever more limited and bringing people into the movement who want an outlet to promote racist/colonialist agendas. As someone pointed out above, a culture of resource abuse and waste is also contributing to environmental degradation, not just sheer numbers of people. Humans beings are pretty resourceful, and really know how to hang on, so I think there can be movement towards using human ingenuity to promote better uses of the resources we have while encouraging ALL of us to take more responsibility for the protection of our environment.
I appreciate that this article points out something many forget - humans are complex and capable of doing lots of good and bad. And while that is part of what makes us human, always believing the good a person does cancels out the bad can have very limited value in moving humanity forward.

Nothing makes teatime feel fancy like an intricately painted tea cup made from china. It hits a magical level when that tea cup is inspired by Sailor Moon. This matching tea cup and saucer set from Premium Bandai and Noritake is made from fine bone china and features a Sailor Scout bow, symbol, and Sailor Moon's name written in script.
The only uncool thing about this beautiful set that will be out in April is that it's tricky to order if you live outside of Japan.
Take a closer look at the cup and saucer after the break.

I read a lot – like I mean a lot. Some of my favourites are the Lord of the Rings series, anything by George Orwell, and the back of the Head & Shoulders Shampoo bottle. I write too. I'm working on a novel right now.
I live in a little house down by the river. I often run into the forest and yell obscenities at the squirrels, who otherwise think they own the place. I work on my cars back there. I roll around in a classic 70s Lincoln while wearing a top hat and aviators; its pretty badass.
I'm looking for someone who wants to start something awesome. I'm not into playing games, unless said game is Mario Kart. In which case watch out, because I'll whip your ass.
I'm not picky – be healthy and happy. A nice smile, good hair, and hygiene go a long way. You should message me if you like random adventures, late night camp fires, or just hanging out and having some fun.
I miss the big city, but I'm quite content here too. Once you get used to our strange fixation with cows, you'll find Woodstock to be a very pleasant place. Seriously though, we're obsessed with anything bovine. It's a little peculiar. Luckily I'm only 20 minutes from London, Kitchener, and Brantford.
- The Internet
- My giant TV/Movie collection
- Someone to love
- Air Conditioning
- Hamburgers
I have fun at home too. People are always asking me when I'm going to have my next bon-fire night. Add some friends, beer, burgers, video games, and a crackling fire, and you've got yourself a recipe for a great night. Include some classic rock for a little extra awesomeness. Free Bird!

Buildings & Grounds
Indoor and Outdoor Space
You are invited to explore the primitive labyrinth, sculptures, and meditation garden outdoors anytime during the week. Indoor spaces are used throughout the week by members and friends, as well as by community organizations. The wood pulpit was made by Jim Woodruff as was the glass table seen in the center of the sanctuary photo at right. The linen hanging from the pulpit was made by a woman from our Oklánd , Transylvania (Romania) Partner Church using a traditional Székely design.

Building & Grounds Committee
Fellowship Facility History
Our building was completed in 1992, thanks to generous donors and far-sighted members. The building was designed by architect David W. Osler, of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Outdoor Labyrinth
NOTICE AS OF MARCH 2014: The labyrinth has suffered from weather damage this winter. It is currently closed and will be rebuilt at a later time.
The UUFA labyrinth is located in the woods behind the building, past the sculpture by Bob Clements and near the Memorial Garden. It is approached along a rustic path that leads from the playground along the edge of the ravine on the northeast edge of the property. This path will lead one through an arch created by Dan Leissner and installed by Dan and his mother Barbara Leissner.
The labyrinth was completed in 2012 following Peace Camp, but it was first conceived many years earlier in a Goddess Group program about the meaning and significance of ancient labyrinths. It is an eight-path labyrinth, laid on a hillside, and outlined in pieces of granite quarried in nearby Covington, Georgia. The site was selected as the result of dousing by Marguerite Holmes, the Rev. Terre Balof, Karen Solheim, and others. The site was initially cleared by Myrna Adams West, Herb West, and Karen Solheim. Peace Campers in 2012 helped to mark the site as part of the summer program. Four panels mark the cardinal directions of North, South, East and West. They were created by Alice Woodruff and a gift to UUFA by Edna Garst in memory of her son. The labyrinth was dedicated on March 17, 2013.
For a number of years, members and friends of UUFA have shared their joys, sorrows, and milestones in the Sunday Service and have placed a small stone in commemoration of their significant event on a labyrinth model created by Rosemary Wood. These stones (affectionately known as "Pebbles of Passion") are collected and placed periodically in the labyrinth as a way to memorialize the joy, sorrow, or milestone.
Others who helped to make the labyrinth a reality include Susan Atkinson who shared materials about labyrinths; Morgan Watson, Director of Religious Education who led the Peace Camp; Steve Bouffard, Kasey Christian, and Anna Eidsvik who helped to lay the granite.
Members, friends, and visitors are invited and encouraged to walk the labyrinth. An offering of a special object may be left along the path or in the center.
Gateway to the Labyrinth and Memorial Woods
UUFA's first minister, Cliff Hoffman, his wife, and one of their two sons all returned to the earth which lies beneath the benches and slates in the wooded alcove near the labyrinth. Since then, other members have chosen these sacred woods for their scattered or buried cremains. Contact Rev. Eskildsen for more information on this.
Memorial Wall and Terrace
UUFA's new memorial area was made possible by the generous donations of two families who envisioned a special outdoor place to remember family they had loved and lost. The donors wish to remain unnamed, though we greatly appreciate their gift. The wall and terrace were designed by Julene Anderson and built by Bud Newton in 2013. Members and friends are invited to sit, remember, and rest in this sacred space accessible to wheeled walkers and wheelchairs. The memorial wall will hold plaques to commemorate loved ones who have died. The memorial area was dedicated on October 27, 2013. Please contact Rev. Eskildsen if you have questions about ash scattering or burial in UUFA's wooded areas.
Zen Meditation Garden & Pond
At the front of the building, there is a Zen garden and pond created by Chuck and Suzanne Murphy. The grouping of three stones in a bed near the front window is a traditional element in a Zen garden, with the tall stone representing the sky, the medium stone representing man, and the flat stone representing the earth. The garden design includes a sand bed so that members and visitors can use the rake in the entryway if they feel inclined to express themselves. The pond is very popular with visitors of all ages because it's populated with fish, frogs, snails and water lilies. The garden area was dedicated on May 27, 2012.
Outdoor Artwork
Outdoor sculptures by two artists in Athens, Harold Rittenberry, Jr., and Robert Clements, decorate UUFA grounds.

Nope, 5 WR, 4 TE, 3 RB and adding 14 more cheerleaders
With our injury history at WR, I don't see them carrying only four. At minimum, I predict Dez, Miles, Williams, Harris and Beasley with a possible 6th making the team, most likely Coale.
5 is possible. I'd say 6 is a longshot. 4 deep at TE means 4-5 deep at WR IMO. Especially with them now being married to the 12 personnel group.
He's not very good, I watched a lot of Panthers games.
Now we can run 4TE sets?
Can he play guard?
Doubt they only keep 4. I think one of the reasons NE only keeps 4, besides using Hernandez basically as a WR, is that they're about as good as evaluating WR's as we are with OL. Depends on how training camp goes. Guys get hurt. Even if they don't, they could go with 2 QB's, 3 RB's, 4/5 TE's, 5/6 WR's, and 10 OL. Gives them 25 on offense for the roster, which is typical.
Perhaps, but he hasn't played for Carolina for 3 years.
I actually kind of like the idea. You put Murray in the backfield and you go 4 TEs and force them to put in LBs to matchup size-wise against the run. Then you split out Hanna and Escobar wide and put Witten in the slot and leave the 4th guy inline to block.
It'd be interesting to try since teams would be forced to go with very large or risk getting worked in the running game.
Having said that I do think the mismatches are more extreme in the 13 personnel with Dez out there drawing the mandatory double team with him.
We may not have an F/H back and that may be what they are looking for. Of course we haven't seen how Hanna or Escobar would do in that role. I can see Hanna doing it but not so sure about Escobar.
Unless we can find an effective FB who can block, run and catch the ball without falling down then I'd prefer a TE do that job.
Edit: sorry. not sure why the image won't translate to the site but you can always go there.

Effects of a high-sodium diet on renal tubule Ca2+ transporter and claudin expression in Wistar-Kyoto rats
Urinary Ca2+ excretion increases with dietary NaCl. NaCl-induced calciuria may be associated with hypertension, urinary stone formation and osteoporosis, but its mechanism and long-term effects are not fully understood. This study examined alterations in the expressions of renal Ca2+ transporters, channels and claudins upon salt loading to better understand the mechanism of salt-induced urinary Ca2+ loss.
Eight-week old Wistar-Kyoto rats were fed either 0.3% or 8% NaCl diet for 8 weeks. Renal cortical expressions of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1), Ca2+ pump (PCMA1b), Ca2+ channel (TRPV5), calbindin-D28k, and claudins (CLDN-2, -7, -8, -16 and −19) were analyzed by quantitative PCR, western blot and/or immunohistochemistry.
Fractional excretion of Ca2+ increased 6.0 fold with high-salt diet. Renal cortical claudin-2 protein decreased by approximately 20% with decreased immunological staining on tissue sections. Claudin-16 and −19 expressions were not altered. Renal cortical TRPV5, calbindin-D28k and NCX1 expressions increased 1.6, 1.5 and 1.2 fold, respectively.
Chronic high-salt diet decreased claudin-2 protein and increased renal TRPV5, calbindin-D28k, and NCX1. Salt loading is known to reduce the proximal tubular reabsorption of both Na+ and Ca2+. The reduction in claudin-2 protein expression may be partly responsible for the reduced Ca2+ reabsorption in this segment. The concerted upregulation of more distal Ca2+-transporting molecules may be a physiological response to curtail the loss of Ca2+, although the magnitude of compensation does not seem adequate to bring the urinary Ca2+ excretion down to that of the normal-diet group.
Urinary Ca2+ excretion increases with sodium chloride (NaCl) ingestion
The bulk of Ca2+ in the pro-urine is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and the thick ascending loop of Henle through a passive, paracellular movement. Transepithelial Ca2+ permeability is high in these segments, and the rate-limiting barrier is the tight junction. Claudins and other tight junction proteins are known to be important in determining the permeability characteristics of various epithelia
In contrast, regulated transcellular Ca2+ reabsorption occurs primarily in the distal tubule. In the distal nephron, Ca2+ in the pro-urine enters the cytosol of tubule cells through Ca2+ channel, mainly TRPV5
Alterations in the expressions of tight junction proteins and transcellular Ca2+ transporters may in part explain the urinary calcium loss upon salt loading or provide clues on long-term effects of dietary NaCl ingestion. Therefore, we examined the expression changes of renal Ca2+ transport molecules in rat with chronic high-NaCl diet.
Animal experiment
All experimental procedures were approved by the Fukushima Medical University School of Medicine Animal Committee. Eight-week old Wistar-Kyoto rats (Japan SLC Inc. Sendai, Japan) were fed either 0.3% or 8% NaCl chow (Oriental Yeast Co., Tokyo, Japan) for 8 weeks with tap water ad libitum. Unanesthetized systolic blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method (Blood Pressure Analyzer model BP-98A; Softron, Tokyo, Japan). Ten measurements were taken and averaged per rat per day. Urine was collected regularly using metabolic cages. At the end of the study, under intraperitoneal pentobarbital anesthesia, blood was drawn from abdominal aorta, and kidneys were collected for assays.
Biochemical analysis
Biochemical analyses were performed by SRL Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) using creatinase-sarcosine-oxidase-POD method for creatinine, electrode method for Na, K and Cl, arsenazo III method for Ca, direct molybdate assay for inorganic phosphate (P) and xylidyl blue method for Mg. Serum concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were measured by radioimmunoassay using the two antibody method.
Quantitative Real-Time RT-PCR
Total RNA was prepared from renal cortex using RNeasy plus mini kit (Qiagen). Subsequently, 0.25 μg of total RNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA using iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio Rad) in a 20 μl reaction volume. One μl of reverse-transcription sample was used for real-time quantitative PCR using the iQ5 Real-Time PCR Detection System and iQ SYBR Green Supermix (Bio Rad). The primers used were as follows: NCX1 forward CAGTTGTGTTTGTCGCTCTTGG and reverse GTTGGCCGCATGGTAGATGG, with annealing temperature (Ta) 57°C; GAPDH forward GCAAGTTCAACGGCACAGTCAAG and reverse ACATACTCAGCACCAGCATCACC with Ta 56°C, TRPV5 forward CTTACGGGTTGAACACCACCA and reverse TTGCAGAACCACAGAGCCTCTA with Ta 56°C; PMCA1b forward CGCCATCTTCTGCACAATT and reverse CAGCCATTGTTCTATTGAAAGTTC with Ta 56°C, calbindin-D28k forward GGAGCTGCAGAACTTGATCCand reverse GCAGCAGGAAATTCTCTTCG with Ta 57°C, claudin 2 forward TCTGGATGGAGTGTGCGAC and reverse AGTGGCAAGAGGCTGGGC with Ta 63°C, claudin 7 forward GACTCGGTGCTTGCCCTGCC and reverse GGAGCGGGGTGCACGGTATG with Ta 59°C, claudin 8 forward GTGCTGCGTCCGTCCTGTCC and reverse CCAAGCTCGCGCTTTTGGGC with Ta 59°C. NCX1 and GAPDH primers were designed using Beacon Designer software (PREMIER Biosoft International, Palo Alto, California, USA), claudin 7 and 8 primers were designed using PrimerBlast (NCBI), and TRPV5, PMCA1b and claudin 2, 16 and 19 primers were adopted from elsewhere
Immunoblotting of renal cortical proteins was performed similarly as previously reported
Sections of rat kidney paraffin blocks were made with 2-μm thickness. Kidney sections of normal- and high-salt diet fed rats were placed on a single slide glass for comparison. After deparaffinization and blocking, the slices were treated with anti-claudin 2 antibody (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), anti-rabbit secondary antibody and DAB using VECTASTAIN-ABC kit (Vector laboratories, Burlingame, CA). The slides were counterstained with haematoxylin and eosin.
Data analysis
All values are expressed as means ± SE. Statistical comparisons were performed by Student's
Serum electrolytes were similar between the normal- and high-salt fed rats
Food intake was similar between the groups (normal-salt vs high-salt groups, 18.8±0.9 vs 17.8±0.5 g/day, n.s., n=15 /group), although the high-salt group weighed slightly less than the normal-salt group at the end of the study (369±5 vs 354±4 g,

Renal claudin-2 protein decreased, but claudin-7, -8, -16 or -19 mRNA was not altered with chronic salt loading
Claudin-2 forms paracellular cation pore in the proximal tubule. Rats fed 8% NaCl for 8 weeks showed increased renal cortical claudin-2 mRNA (Figure

Claudin-7 and −8 are found from distal convoluted tubule to the inner medullary collecting duct

Distal, transcellular calcium-transporting molecule expressions in the kidney cortex of rats fed 0.3% or 8% NaCl for 8 weeks. Protein and mRNA of the target molecules were normalized against GAPDH expression and expressed as relative amounts. Salt loading increased the expression levels of TRPV5 (6A: mRNA, 6B: protein), calbindin-D28k (6C), and NCX1 (6D: mRNA, 6E: protein), but did not alter PMCA1b (6F) expression. *
Modeling of NCX1 function
The functions of NCX1 with different electrolyte settings were modeled to interpret the effects of high-salt diet because the transport of NCX1 is bidirectional. Even under normal conditions, estimates of NCX1 contribution to distal tubular, basolateral Ca2+ transport vary from 15%

Solid circle indicates the simulated [Ca2+]i with salt loading, with [Na+]i assumed at 22 mM and ENCX at −70 mV.
Chronic salt loading decreased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 concentration
To investigate the mechanism of upregulation of TRPV5, calbindin-D28k and NCX1 with salt loading, serum concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D] were measured. 1,25(OH)2D is known to upregulate renal TRPV5, calbindin-D28k and NCX1
This study, for the first time, examined the effects of long-term dietary sodium chloride on renal Ca2+-transporting molecule and claudin expressions. Chronic salt loading decreased the protein expression of claudin 2, a component of proximal, paracellular Ca2+ transport pathway. Concomitantly, dietary NaCl increased the expression of more distal, transcellular Ca2+ reabsorption machinery, TRPV5, calbindin-D28k and NCX1.
Salt loading acutely increases urinary excretion of Ca2+ along with Na+
Approximately 65% of calcium in the pro-urine is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. In the proximal tubule, claudin-2 is postulated to form tight junction cation pores
In the proximal tubule, NHE3 is shown to be important as a part of driving force for Ca2+ reabsorption, mediating apical Na+ entry and consequently water reabsorption to produce osmotic gradient
Thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle is responsible for approximately 20% of Ca2+ reabsorption. Claudin-16 and −19 are shown to be important for paracellular Mg2+ and Ca2+ in this segment. In our study, there was an increase in the fractional excretion of Mg, albeit smaller than that of Ca. However, there was no significant difference in renal claudin-16 or −19 mRNA in rats on high-salt diet. Extracellular volume expansion decreases transepithelial voltage and Mg2+ reabsorption in the TAL
Distal nephron is the final and most-regulated site of urinary Ca2+ reabsorption
As for the mechanism of TRPV5, calbindin-D28k, and NCX1 upregulations by dietary NaCl, one possibility is the endocrine factors that regulate Ca2+-related molecules, such as parathyroid hormone
The weakness of the study includes a lack of regional expression data, as excised renal cortex was used in the study. Higher-resolution immunohistological staining experiments and qRT-PCR/Western blotting from micro-dissected tissue specimens are necessary in the future. However, this study aimed to lay the foundation for a more detailed mechanistic examination of the effects of chronically high dietary sodium on the expression of renal Ca transporters and on urinary calcium excretion.
Our findings suggest that the decrease in renal claudin-2 protein by salt loading may increase the Ca2+ in tubular fluid reaching the distal tubule, while the concerted upregulation of more distal Ca2+-handling molecules may curtail some of the Ca2+ loss in the urine. Findings of our study may have implications on further research on the pathophysiology of osteoporosis, urinary stone formation and hypertension associated with excessive salt intake.

|Sawney Rath
Sawney Rath was the ferret chieftain of the Juskarath tribe. He was old, and suffered from stomach pains, but threw knives quickly and accurately. Sawney was also very superstitious, as most Juska are, and relied on the clan's seer, Grissoul. He also feared Redwall Abbey for all the stories he had heard about the vermin who tried to mess with it and the sound of Redwall's bells. Previously, his father was a Taggerung. He made a mortal enemy after slaying Antigra's mate, Gruven. Rath was on the search for the new Taggerung, when Sawney's seer Grissoul predicted where he could find him. Sawney set off to find the Taggerung, and discovered him at a ford where an otter father was taking his Dibbun son Deyna for a swim.
Sawney had Deyna's father killed by Vallug Bowbeast. He adopted Deyna, and renamed him Tagg. Rath then treated him as a son, caring for and nurturing him until the day Tagg refused to obey him any further. He began to hunt down the wayward Tagg, but as he entered the trees he was slain by Antigra who slung a rock at him from where she was gathering food. Gruven, who was Antigra's son originally named Zann, succeeded Rath as clan leader.
It should be noted that Sawney was not as harsh to his clan as most of the other villain chiefs/leaders, and that he was loving towards Deyna, even if it was only because he was Taggerung.

Do you like noisy bottoms? In this video from Corbin Fisher, blond stud Trenton is drilling his dark-haired buddy, Marc, in the bathroom. Lying back on the bathroom vanity with his legs in the air, Marc is getting his hole pumped and he's making a lot of noise. A little too much for my taste, I was hoping Trenton would grab a towel and shove it in Marc's mouth.
So what do you think? Have a look at the video and sound off in the comments. Is Marc too noisy? Is Trenton's dick really that big or is Marc hamming it up? Or do you like energetic and noisy bottoms?
