"The VICtory Sessions" are a collection of works that encompass everything that we have written and recorded…and never released. Volume III is extra special as it's a rare live recording of an Expo solo show from The Middle East Upstairs, a venue in Cambridge MA that helped both Expo and Audible Mainframe off the ground when we first started playing shows in the Boston area in the early 2000's. Each installment of The VICtory Sessions will be released as short EP's broken up into separate collectable volumes. As each volume is initially released they will be exclusively available for download through our website/soundcloud page. AMF has set up a PayPal Donations account and ask everyone to "pay what you want" for the EPs, as all money collected will contribute to the creation of the official VICtory charity.
The purpose of this project is to keep Expo's legacy alive through all the music we have created together that no one has had a chance to hear. This project will also be a token of our appreciation to everyone who has supported our movement throughout the years... we will be VICtorious...
Dear AMF Friends and Fans:
As most of you may know, these past couple years have been a difficult time of transition for us all, following the loss of our comrade Expo. Although we are no longer able to perform or record as Audible Mainframe, we will try to keep this page active as a time capsule of sorts. We plan to release any and all remaining unreleased tracks as part of our VICtory Sessions, and encourage all of you to check out our Facebook page, where you can share any photos, videos or memories you may have of Expo and AMF.
As for us, we have been working with a very talented singer and songwriter called Pilot Touhill, who Expo "discovered" on Myspace (remember Myspace?) upon our moving to California. Some of you may know him from our songs "Poison Ivy" and "Sonuvagun" from the Transients album, as well as "The Return Of" on The Victory Sessions pt. 2 . He is a fellow east coast native, an incredible talent, and a great guy. Check out his music online… he has allowed us to continue to do what we love, and we are very thankful.
After spending the past year and a half touring as Pilot's backing band, we are happy to announce that we are preparing to release a new collaborative project with him. It's a different sound, a different voice, but the band remains intact, and we hope to continue making great music to share with you all. We will have more updates as this new project is completed. Thank you for all your support over the years, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
Don't Be Sheep, and Subi Alto!
- NEW ALBUM: The VICtory Sessions: Vol II
One month ago today we got the hardest news we've ever had to hear. We keep Expo in our heads and hearts everyday, and will continue to keep his legacy alive for years to come. with that, we're proud to present the 2nd installment of "The VICtory Sessions." Similar to Vol. I, we encourage a "pay what you want" format. to make a donation please follow this link, http://tinyurl.com/VICtorySessionsDonation... and please download and enjoy "The VICtory Sessions: Vol. II" below...
- In Memory of Victor Pontes-Macedo
Last night the world lost a legend. And we lost our friend, brother and leader. Expo inspired countless people worldwide with his words and actions. His legacy will live on through his music forever. Words can't even begin to describe how much he will be missed. Vic, you've got your wings on, ready to fly…onto that bicycle path up in the sky. Rest In Peace, Comrade.

- The VICtory Sessions: Vol 1, Track 5: "Children Of The Revolution"
The final track on The VICtory Sessions: Vol 1, "Children Of The Revolution", is a very meaningful track for the band. It is the first bicoastal song we have ever recorded. After Expo left to head back to Boston for treatment, the band recorded the music at a studio in Hollywood. We then sent it to Expo, who finished writing to it…and even with all the rigors of his treatment, was able to get into a studio and lace the track like only he can. The original "Children Of The Revolution" is a song by T. Rex from the early 70s about teenage rebellion. And with all that has been going on in the world over the past year, as people unite in the streets to topple sultanistic dictatorships…Expo was inspired to put his own spin on this timeless track. The revolution won't be televised, but it will be on Facebook…

- The VICtory Sessions: Vol 1, Track 4 "I See What You're Doin" (And I Like It)
"I See What You're Doin (And I Like It)" has been written and recorded for close to 2 years now. We've gone back and forth on whether or not we wanted to release the song b/c we felt that it was a departure from the AMF sound. The demand for a recorded version has been extremely high from the moment we started playing it live...so although we love the song, it's sort of a bittersweet feeling to finally release it. With initial plans to have Chali2Na (of Jurassic 5) on the song we quickly changed gears and ended up having our friends Mike Eddie (of baLAnce and the Traveling Sounds), Michelle Harding and Ashley Dominque bless us with their vocals. We also must give a shout to our homey RP Thompson of Bad Rabbits for lacing the track with some extra keyboards. We're happy to finally give this song some life as it's certainly one of the more pop sounding songs we've ever made.

- The VICtory Sessions: Vol 1, Track 3: "Toy Story ft. Camp Lo"
Track 3 on The VICtory Sessions EP, "Toy Story," came together through a band jam session well over a year ago. As Special Blend dug through the sound bank in his MPC out came the sample that would ultimately be the main riff of the song. The final product turned out to be a pretty hard hitting straight hip-hop track. At the time, we were working with a management company based out of NYC who also managed Camp Lo. We were fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to back them up for a show, as well as get them on a track. Lyrically Expo wanted to keep this song true to his hip-hop roots and show he hasn't lost his ability to battle. There were plans in place to have an animated video made, a la 'Toy Story' the movie, but those plans were somewhat derailed by a number of issues...peep the track below and don't forget to download the entire VICtory Sessions: Vol. I EP....http://soundcloud.com/ audiblemainframe/sets/victorysessionsvol1
- The VICtory Sessions: Vol 1, Track 1: "Ready to Fly"
"Ready To Fly" was originally released as an exclusive single for 98.7FM and The Roxy Theatre. We had plans in place to record the official video around LA, with guest appearances including pro skater Andy MacDonald. With the video shoot less than a week away Expo was diagnosed with Cancer and had to return to Boston to begin chemotherapy. The song immediately became a rallying cry for the whole movement and we decided to rethink the video concept as a dedication to our wounded comrade. The song means more now than it did when we recorded it and the video came out better than we had ever imagined. Lyrically the song urges everyone to follow their dreams and never give up, which ironically takes on a whole new meaning given our current situation...take a look/listen and don't forget to download the VICtory Sessions EP at: http://soundcloud.com/ audiblemainframe/sets/victorysessionsvol1
- The VICtory Sessions: Vol 1, Track 2: "Blast Off"
"Blast Off," the 2nd track on The VICtory Sessions: Vol. I, really defines the AMF sound and what "Future Throwback Hip-Hop" is all about. Conceptually and musically this song picks up where the previous one left off... we were getting "Ready To Fly" and now it's time to "Blast Off." Lyrically the song is about elevation and overcoming obstacles, which again, takes on a new meaning given our current situation. While going through a mild case of writer's block there were a couple of beats that helped break Expo out of that mode, and this was one of them. While most songs come from jam sessions, the framework of this beat was created by Lethal D, and offered everyone a chance to add their own flavor to the track. It was written almost a year ago, and only a select few have had a chance to hear it live. Take a listen below and don't forget to download the entire VICtory Sessions EP at:

"The VICtory Sessions" are a collection of works and collaborations centered around the recent cancer diagnosis to Audible Mainframe front man MC Exposition (Victor Pontes-Macedo).
These works encompass everything that we have written and recorded since 2010 until current day. The sessions will be released as short EP's broken up into separate collectable volumes. As each volume is initially released they will be exclusively available for download through our website/soundcloud page. AMF has set up a PayPal Donations account and ask everyone to "pay what you want" for the EPs, as all money collected will help not only fund future volumes, but also contribute to cancer research and awareness.
The purpose of this project is to allow us to release all the material that we've worked on for the past couple of years, as well as new material that we finish while Expo continues his fight against cancer. These sessions will not only feature current band tracks with Expo, but they will also involve collaborations with artists who we consider part of the AMF family. This project will also be a token of our appreciation to everyone who has supported our movement over the last several years and proof that cancer will not bring us down... we will be VICtorious..

DOVER — Two changes to state law are set to go into effect in January that will strengthen the rights of New Hampshire citizens to access government records.
One law passed this year will introduce new civil penalties for public officials who violate the state's Right-to-Know law. Another piece of legislation makes clear that arrest records are public information in New Hampshire, subject to public disclosure laws. The bill also specifies the minimum amount of information that must be provided about each arrest.
A third change that went into effect in July also makes the actions of library employees and trustees subject to public disclosure.
Rep. Brandon Giuda, R-Chichester, was the prime sponsor of House Bill 1535, the act relative to arrest records. At a legislative committee hearing in Concord earlier this year, Giuda was joined by New Hampshire attorney William Chapman in speaking in favor of the bill.
"An arrest is a denial of liberty, and as we all know, liberty is protected by the New Hampshire constitution," Chapman said at the April hearing. "That is a very significant event, when somebody gets arrested, and the public ought to know, 'Why did it happen?'"
Chapman said states have historically taken two different approaches to laws that define public records. Some states have adopted laws with very specific language, identifying each record that must be disclosed.
However, the law adopted by New Hampshire in 1967 takes the opposite approach, according to Chapman. It frames general principles around governmental records, but leaves it up to the discretion of public bodies and courts to determine how the law should be applied, he said.
Chapman called it one of the "singular failures" of New Hampshire's approach that there are specific types of records that ought to be available to the public — such as arrest records — but are not explicitly named in the law.
As a result, municipal police departments take different approaches regarding the amount of information they provide about arrests, Chapman said.
"Because an arrest is a deprivation of liberty, a very significant event under our constitution, the public ought to know that it happened, and the public ought to know why it happened," Chapman said. "Otherwise, how can you hold the police accountable if you don't know what they're doing, and you don't know why they're doing it?"
The bill going into effect in January adds a new section to RSA 594. It explicitly defines arrest records as "governmental records," making them subject to existing public disclosure laws.
The bill defines an arrest record as one created by law enforcement personnel to document the arrest of an individual 17 or older.
The law stipulates that arrest records shall contain, at a minimum, the name of the individual who was arrested, the name of the arresting officer or officers, a description of why and how the arrest was made, the alleged crime and whether the arrest was made pursuant to a warrant.
The bill allows for police to withhold the identities of arresting officers if a supervisor has good cause to believe identifying them would "not serve the public interest."
HB 1223, another bill set to take effect in January, clarifies the penalties that apply to public officials who wilfully withhold information in violation of a Right-to-Know request. It also adds a new civil penalty ranging from $250 to $2,000.
Beginning next month, any officer, employee, or other official of a public body or public agency who violates any provision of the Right-to-Know law in "bad faith" faces a civil penalty of up to $2,000. The court can also order offenders to undergo remedial training at their own expense.
"This is a law that's being violated every day, and the reason is there's no teeth in the law at all," said Giuda, who also sponsored HB1223, at a hearing in April.
Under the existing law, citizens who are required to file a lawsuit in order to get access to public information are entitled to receive reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in the lawsuit, provided that the court finds that the lawsuit was necessary in order to access the information.
The offender must also have known that the conduct engaged in was a violation of the Right-to-Know law.
The new law states that if the court finds that an "officer, employee, or other official of a public body or public agency" has violated any provision of the Right-to-Know law in "bad faith," the court shall impose a civil penalty of not less than $250 and not more than $2,000.
Another bill passed this year that touches on public records law was Senate Bill 214, "an act relative to the applicability of the right-to-know law to public libraries."
State Sen. Jeanie Forrester, one of the bill's sponsors, said at a hearing earlier this year that the Supreme Court recently found public libraries don't fall under the provisions of the state's Right-to-Know laws.
Language was therefore crafted in the Senate this year to ensure the public access law encompasses library records. A new section inserted into the law explicitly identifies public libraries as public agencies, and also stipulates that library trustees are public bodies.
The bill includes language to ensure that books, documents and other library records already shielded from public disclosure under New Hampshire law will remain private.
Gov. John Lynch signed SB214 into law in May, and it took effect in July.

Cuts and Sequences are Equivalent
Sorry to not get this posted until so late, but the end of the semester has been a bit hectic.
We've used Dedekind cuts to "complete" the order on the rational numbers — to make sure that every nonempty set of numbers with an upper bound has a least upper bound. We've also used Cauchy sequences to "complete" the uniform structure on the rational numbers — to make sure that every Cauchy sequence converges. But do we actually get the same thing in each case?
If we take a real number represented by a Cauchy sequence it's easy to come up with a cut. Given a rational number we use the constant sequence and compare it to . If is eventually nonnegative then is less than , and should go into the left set . On the other hand, if it's eventually nonpositive then is greater than and should go into the right set . It's straightforward to show that this function from to the set of cuts preserves the order.
Now let's start with the cut and write down a Cauchy sequence. Pick some and , and construct the sequence as follows. First write down and . Now set . This value will either be in or it won't. If it is, replace by , and otherwise replace by . Then define as the midpoint between our two left and right points, and again replace either the left or the right point. Keep going, and we see that all future numbers in the sequence are closer to each other than the current and are to each other. And these two always keep moving closer and closer to each other, halving their distance at each step. So the sequence has to be Cauchy. If we picked a different and to start with, we'd get an equivalent sequence. I'll leave this to you to show.
Notice here that the points in the sequence that lie in are moving steadily upwards towards the cut, and those in are moving steadily downwards towards it. Eventually, the sequence will rise above any point in and fall below any point in , and so if we take this sequence and build a cut from it we will get back the exact same cut we started with. Also, if we build a cut from a Cauchy sequence, and then a sequence from it, we get back an equivalent sequence. Thus we have set up a bijection between the set of cuts and the set of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences, and we've already seen that it preserves the order structure.
Now let's look at the map from sequences to cuts and verify that it preserves addition and multiplication of positive numbers. This will make the map into an isomorphism of ordered fields, and so both constructions are describing essentially the same thing. So if we have Cauchy sequences and , which give right sets and of rational numbers, then what's the right set of the sequence ? It's the set of rational numbers so that is eventually nonnegative. But any such can be broken up as , where and are both eventually nonnegative. That is, is the set of sums of elements of and , and so addition is preserved. The proof for multiplication is essentially the same.
So both methods of extending the real numbers give us essentially the same ordered field, which is thus both complete as a uniform space and Dedekind complete.

The next time you're in the Mission in San Francisco, drop by Borderlands Books. You'll find good folks, and you'll find good books (especially of the science fiction, fantasy, and horror variety). You'll also find three resident Sphynx cats, Ripley, Ash, and Sly, all of whom are sweethearts, and all of whom hairless. Or, were hairless.
You see, several months ago, Ripley under went a procedure to have a cancerous lump taken off her shoulder. She then had to receive radiation
and chemo therapy. Then an odd thing happened. Ripley the Hairless Cat became Ripley the Slightly Hairy Cat. That's right, she began growing thin, fine fur (you can see the fuzz on her back). Anyone care to explain that?
It's very appropriate that this mystery happened to a Sphynx cat. May both she and the proprietors of Borderland Books live long and prosper.
Thanks for the story, Amanda.

Hee hee! Maybe she has "female pattern hairyness"...? ;-)
I guess sphynx cats get the opposite thing with chemo that furry critters (or people) get. Or maybe someone slipped Rogaine into her bath water! Soon she'll have enough fur to make a nice combover...
- March 31, 2009
Perhaps it has something to do with dominant and supressed genetics? Some bio-awesome person care toy delve into that? I don't know why she would grow hair. . . but she looks none too pleased with the newfound fuzz.
- March 31, 2009
I have a feeling it was the chemo. Chemo damages all the bodies cells in order to kill the cancer cells that can't easily repair themselves; the other cells, healthy cells can recover. I have a feeling that as those healthy cells attempted to rapidly recover in order to survive, they went into overdrive in all functions, thus producing more hair than usual.

Ah, I have had the distinct delight of being able to personally pet one of those cats at Borderlands, at a signing a few years back. They are so ugly they are absolutely beautiful and irresistible.

For a really geeky answer: http://www.nature.com/jid/journal/v127/n1/abs/5700486a.html
It is interesting though that the car now has fine hair. Of course, this could be applied to studying hairless rats and chemo to seek new ways to treat hair loss as a result of chemo or baldness.

After my Great Aunt had chemo and radiation for cancer, her formally grey and thinning hair fell out and was replaced with luxurious glossy black hair that fell in ringlets. It was very odd. She thought it was hilarious. I agree with the poster who mentioned changes in gene expression, as that is what the doctor told my aunt at the time.

I didn't have a clue about any of this. Fascinating.
- April 02, 2009
I am one of the people that Ripley owns, and I just wanted to correct a slight error in the write-up. The weird thing is that she never had any chemotherapy, just radiation therapy. Still, we're bewildered at the (relatively) sudden fuzziness and pretty sure it is connected to her surgery and its aftermath. It hasn't changed her personality at all, though -- she's still a diva and a cuddle slut, and happy to receive visitors.

Thank you for the correction, person who is owned by Ripley. Fascinating tale. I look forward to dropping in on your shop when next I'm in the city.

This looks like a Cornish Rex to me, if it is a cat who had cancer, it resembles the breed of Cornish Rex very closely.

Radiation damages your DNA as well. A cat growing hair back after such a procedure is the same as a once straight-haired human growing curly hair after such a procedure. The DNA in the animal's cells have been damaged and the genes are now replicating and expressing mutated codon sequences.

The Crew and their fans got a glimpse of the team's center midfielder of the future, but unfortunately it was an all-too brief glimpse.
Tony Tchani made his Crew debut 3 ½ months after being acquired from Toronto FC in the Crew's 1-0 loss at Colorado in a wild-card knockout match in Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Thursday.
"It's exciting for me personally, but after the game my mind wasn't really thinking about that," Tchani said.
When the Crew dealt defender Andy Iro and midfielder Leandre Griffit to Toronto FC on July 15 they envisioned Tchani teaming in the middle with Emmanuel Ekpo, but reoccurring left knee problems forced Tchani to undergo surgery on Aug. 26.
"It was great to see him out there," defender Julius James said. "He did a good job for not playing for so long. He had no recent games under his belt, but it was encouraging he was able to play and go 90 minutes."
Tchani was finally fit enough this week but didn't get the opportunity to play beside Ekpo because the Nigerian midfielder received a red card in the season finale at Chicago.
It was surprising that Tchani played the full match considering his last game was July 9 for Toronto and he faced the challenging mile-high altitude in Commerce City.
"The plan was to go 60 to 70 minutes but the coach asked me how I felt and if I was cramping up," he said. "I was very surprised with myself. I thought I would have to come out but I was able to play all the way through."
The Crew can take some consolation knowing they should have a healthy Tchani fulltime next season, although Ekpo is out of contract and his status is to be determined.
"I'll have time later to think about what I can do next year." Tchani said.

Too funny for words
Posted March 16, 2012on:
Excuse Me Where Is The Exit? by Stella Deleuze
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Life is a lot funnier than a TV sitcom. It's all a question of attitude.
Stella Deleuze has oodles of attitude.
Take her little piece on cycling. Cyclists are a pest. Cyclists ignore traffic lights. Cyclists hiss at you and speed up in situations where motorists would brake. Cyclists don't have brakes. They have SOMETHING TO PROVE. German cyclists are the worst because they always have the right of way, even on the pavement, and especially on the piece of pavement that you happen, in your ignorance, to have strayed onto just before they hurtle into you at 25 miles per hour from behind.
Stella is a German cyclist but does this bother her? Not at all.
"Pedestrians are worse than tanks," she writes.
But she is also lovely. Because Stella doesn't behave like a cyclist. She behaves like a human being.
She uses the brakes for the bloody idiots. She actually stops at traffic lights. She admits her failings. When she is nearly killed by a bus it is, of course, her fault. When a confused Frenchman stumbles out of a taxi straight into her path, she forgives him. "He'll have the bruises after all," she concedes.
Which is why you can't stop laughing.
But humour is a personal thing so I gave this book the acid test. I read some of it aloud to my flatmate.
Howls of laughter.
Kindle stolen again while I was out.
It's really hard to find a book that makes you split your sides laughing. Especially when you share it with someone. Keep this one to yourself. Don't read it in public. And don't read it out loud.

In this guest entry, she highlights 10 things one should do to plug the loopholes which malware creators love making use of, and lists the steps you can take to ensure that your system is not compromised.
10 Things You Do That Puts Your System At Risk of Infection
1. Social Media - Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are being used by attackers, spammers, and others. For example, in the past, attackers and spammers used Twitter to send victims to malicious sites through the use of the automatically shortened URLs. Fortunately, this has been addressed recently by special add-ons for some browsers, and by the sites' allowing members to preview the actual URLs, as well as protect users from dangerous links that lead to malicious websites and malware sites.(Refer to this website). However, social media sites make changes in Settings every so often and those changes may be made without adequate testing. It is imperative that users routinely check their privacy settings and not get a false sense of security. Scammers, spammers, and malware writers are always one step ahead of us. Continue to be vigilant when clicking links to photos, videos, surveys, and other "fun stuff".
2. Installations from games, tools and applications – As the saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Sometimes those fabulous fun can't-live-without apps can be tempting. While not malware as such, even some of our favorite "free" applications are now earning income by including toolbars in their updates and downloads. Before installing new software and/or updating, always uncheck any toolbar or other offering that you do not want.
3. File Sharing (aka: P2P), Crack, Keygen, and Warez Sites – Peer-to-peer file sharing is not technically malware, but it can install infection because it opens the door for any number of worms, adware, and spyware infections when you use their network. Even the safest P2P file sharing programs that do not contain bundled spyware still exposes a user to risks because of the very nature of the P2P file sharing process. By default, most P2P file sharing programs are configured to automatically launch at Startup, and are also configured to allow other P2P users on the same network open access to a shared directory on your computer. File sharing relies on its members sharing unfettered access to computers across the P2P network. This practice can make a system vulnerable to data and identity theft. Even if risky default settings are changed to a safer configuration, the act of downloading files from an anonymous source greatly increases the exposure to infection. Files being downloaded may actually contain a disguised threat that spreads across P2P files sharing networks because of their known vulnerabilities.
It is a given that if you use keygen and warez sites you will become infected. Not only is pirated software illegal, but the sites themselves can be a breeding ground for infection.
4. Malicious Advertising - This type of advertising is used when the product or service is a little more than you anticipated. Do investigate a program from other sources prior to investing in that product.
5. Malicious Websites – These sites can be specially crafted to use the latest discovered vulnerability in major browsers. Because they can infect by downloading without the user doing anything more than visiting the website, these are often called "drive by downloads". Do ensure that your anti-virus is up-to-date and always question the authenticity of a website – if it seems dodgy (such as, for instance, a website may seem to be by a reputable company or source, but there are many instances of misspelling or inconsistencies in design, follow your gut feel and stay away.)
6. Insecure Passwords - The methods used for breaking a password vary. The analysis of 32 million passwords showed that 300,000 accounts used the password "123456". For more information refer to the following link.
7. Internet Probing - Operating a system without an effective firewall is extremely risky as port scanning is a fact of life, and is one of the insidious ways hackers use to invade your system. Open, unprotected ports have always been attractive to internet worms. There is more information on software firewalls in the KB article here.
8. System Vulnerabilities and Outdated Software - Unfortunately, malware writers are constantly looking to use exploits to take advantage of software vulnerabilities. It seems that as soon as a patch is created, the bad guys have found a way around it. Keeping the operating system and other software updated will mitigate the risks of malware finding its way into a system.
9. Incomplete Malware Removal - End users often run one or two simple, general DIY scans and claim that the infection on their system is gone. Not only is there no one-size-fit-all fix, but some types of malware can be planted so far down into a system that remnants are just waiting to become active when the user visits a certain website, or launches a specific program. Ensure that your system is thoroughly cleansed.
10. Malicious Emails - Although these are not as prevalent as in the past, as malware has expanded to using social media, and users have become more security savvy, these types of email messages still exist. These would be emails including such things as phishing, infected attachments, and links to sites that have embedded malicious code. For anyone not familiar with phishing, there is a very comprehensive article here.
Nothing is 100% secure, and there is no "magic bullet". As noted above, there are ways that we can become victims if we are not careful. The prevention is always easier than the cure.

Catch Linda and other panelists in our first Special Event on Malware and Security from Nov 28 – 30, where you can pose questions you may have about this topic and get them answered. Have a question about this topic? Post them in this board here!
Hi Linda,
These guidelines are great. I printed your article and I'm going to hand it out. I'm also going to tack one on the wall at my desk for when I get complacent.
I've been guilty of some of your points to some degree or another over the years, it's nice to have a guideline stuck on the wall as a reminder of what could happen.
Thanks for that,
Thanks a lot for your sharing. They are indeed very useful and i've shared it with all my friends and family. My brother's system always has issues no matter how many times I've warned him not to simply open/download unknown files.
I"m looking forward to taking part in the malware event from 28 - 30 Nov. See you guys around! It's next week!

Anyway I wanted to be a theatre actress. Nothing like the buzz of a real audience in front of you
I did plays at school and loved it. I joined a drama group then found out I was pregnant and gave it up. Never had time to get back into it but I do consider it every now and then

A 40-year-old man allegedly accepted money for rooms he had advertised for rent on Craigslist, but never held up his end of the bargain and left a victim forced to live in her car, police said.
Jeffrey D. Trifone, of 141 Charlton St., Apt. 1L, was ordered held on $10,000 bail Wednesday in Dudley District Court on seven counts of larceny under $250 by false pretenses, and larceny under $250. The charges are for four cases. A judge set bail at $2,500 for each case.
On Jan. 16, a male victim contacted Mr. Trifone, whose lengthy criminal record includes open larceny cases, in response to an advertisement for a room for rent for $50 per week, a police report said.
After meeting in person, Mr. Trifone agreed to rent the room, and the victim gave him a $50 cash deposit, police said.
Mr. Trifone told him the key would not work for a few days because the landlord needed to change the locks, police said.
Mr. Trifone allegedly contacted the renter the next day asking for another $60 for an advance in rent.
He again assured the renter he would have access to the apartment shortly after the landlord changed the locks, the victim told police.
The victim reported making several attempts to gain access, but Mr. Trifone made excuses and refused to allow him to move in.
On the man's final attempt, a woman at the apartment told him Mr. Trifone was in jail.
She allegedly added that Mr. Trifone constantly lied, could not be trusted and said there was no room for rent.
Officer Brian Haggerty told the man there was no probable cause at that time because of Mr. Trifone's incarceration. The officer said he would revisit the complaint after Mr. Trifone returned home.
Later, Sgt. Gerald Arvelo informed Officer Haggerty about several open cases involving Mr. Trifone. After reading the reports it was clear Mr. Trifone had been taking money from people with promises to rent different locations on Charlton Street, police said.
On Jan. 30, Officer Stephen A. Buffone met with a woman about an apartment she wanted to rent at 141 Charlton St.
The woman, who began exchanging text messages with Mr. Trifone on Jan. 21, had given him $130.
He allegedly texted her excuses about why she could not move in right away.
After she texted him on Jan. 25, Mr. Trifone did not respond again, the report said.
On Jan. 24 Officer Jesus Rosa, Jr., met with another alleged victim about the same apartment.
The week before, the victim went to the apartment and met a man named Jeff, who agreed to rent him the room, police said.
The man gave Mr. Trifone $150 for three weeks' rent, but when he tried to move in on Jan. 22, a woman there told him he could not because her husband was in jail.
The victim thought this was odd and he went to police to get help identifying the leaser, who had only written Jeff on his receipt, police said.
The other case involves Mr. Trifone allegedly writing a bad check for $68.61 from a frozen or blocked account to Carquest Auto Parts on South Street last month, police said.

Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A. Inc. announces its "Find Your Inner Chef" National Cook Off winner. Kara Adanalian from Fresno, California, earned the title and the grand prize retreat for two to the Napa Valley Culinary Institute. The online contest, which launched April 15 and culminated with the national cook off, encouraged consumers to submit their own favorite recipe using Del Monte fresh fruits and vegetables.
"To be the grand prize winner of the Del Monte Fresh Produce "Find Your Inner Chef" contest is not only a thrill but an honor, given the level of competition, judging, and event facility," Adanalian says. "I'm at a loss for words to describe how happy I am, but there's a smile on my face that won't go away. Thank you Del Monte for providing such a great product and top-notch event! I'm very proud."
Kara's winning recipe, Red Pepper and Avocado Stuffed Chicken Breast with a pastry gremolata and white wine reduction, received rave reviews from the judges. It was a competitive cook off as the four finalists competed in a face-off / bracket challenge type setting. The national cook off was held on the campus of The Miami Dade College Hospitality School – Miami Culinary Institute. Each aspiring chef prepared a dish from their social media-winning recipe that met certain criteria (for example, using specific Del Monte fresh produce or inspiring a certain taste). Each were given an hour to complete their recipes.
"Congratulations to our Grand Prize winner, Kara! The cook off event was as exciting to witness as it was to judge the entire span of the contest from launch to today's cooking competition," says Dennis Christou, vice president of marketing, North America, for Del Monte. "We're amazed at each finalist's culinary skills and at their creativity in using specific ingredients such as our Del Monte fresh fruits and vegetables during this intense competition."
Judges based their final decision on the following criteria: creativity of the dish, taste of the Dish, use of Del Monte fresh fruits or vegetables in the recipe, and presentation of the dish. The winner from each bracket moved on to compete for the Grand Prize and coveted title.
The "Find Your Inner Chef" Judges included Chef John Richards, CEC, CCA, CWPC, MBA, Miami Culinary Institute director; Jim Prevor, founder of Perishable Pundit; Lou Sena, president of SenaReider; Elizabeth Pivonka, president and CEO for Produce for Better Health Foundation; Libby Platus, Food and Travel writer.
The entire event was filmed, photographed, and live streamed on Fruits.com.
The "Find Your Inner Chef" contest launched April 15, 2013 and culminated with the national cook off. The contest allowed daily winners an opportunity to cash in on culinary kitchen tools, tabletop appliances, gift cards, and more. To enter the contest, consumers had to "Like" and complete the pop-up registration form on Del Monte's Fresh Produce Facebook page and submit a copy of their original, healthy recipe, using Del Monte fresh produce. All four finalist wins were the result of appeal of the recipe, use of Del Monte products and the number of "Likes" and tweets through social media.

Government Policies on Corporate Social Responsibility in Denmark and the UKBrown, Danna; Steen Knudsen, Jette (, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Do government policies on CSR in the UK and Denmark reflect distinct domestic political-economic institutional differences as predicted by the Varieties of Capitalism approach, or do they display new forms of governance that primarily address the needs of global businesses? We move beyond the management literature and the literature on public management of particular environmental and sustainability programs to explore a broader government agenda for CSR through a political science lens. We develop a set of expectations that follow from the literature on domestic institutions as well as from the literature that takes into account the role of governments in interaction with transnational actors. We find evidence for a substitution objective in the initial CSR programs of the Danish and British governments (and a mirror objective in Denmark). However, we also find that globalization has motivated governments to use their regulatory authorities pertaining to CSR policies for purposes beyond enhancement of welfare state functions.

Fed Looks to Send Clear Rate-Hike Signals
The Federal Reserve is inching closer to revamping its communication strategy by stating more explicitly than ever before what would get officials to raise short-term interest rates. Jon Hilsenrath has details on The News Hub. Photo: Reuters.

... the the ... the dead mulling a possible read and the August peak a few strategies ... for making clearer when it might ... decide to start reading short-term interest rates to Leuthold's not three years but they all are possibly being in a speech from Janet Yellen today ... to help explain this the Wall Street Journal John Hills unwrapped is with us ... so John this was this came out of the Fed the Vice Chairman Janet Yellen speech today cracked ... down ... yet you know that the Fed is doing now filling with its communications strategy for years yes it's kind of interesting the changes so often I wonder who might be causing more confusion than out ... in clarity ... but what they're talking about is sending out signals to the public about ... what kind of inflation rate what kind of unemployment rate would get them to move on interest rates up from zero rate now ... I'm you know ... the unemployment gets down to seven percent not is ... is that the charter point if it gets down to five and a half percent is that the trigger point ... what Yellen said today it she likes the idea of this approach of giving charter points ... the next big challenge is taking numbers I that that would be the starters who was worse this Tata ... said Nelson was before they go into some like this ... I mean obviously we looking back ... thirty thirty five years ago when the Fed was very okay very very ... they're much work gets parent now ... but with this even if you if you didn't like it would even be taking it another step further when actually say what would get us to change rates ... that's kind of the accident isn't it ... if the Fed is to pride itself on its obscurity in July keeping people on the public on their toes and I think what Ben burn Anqi has brought there is a sense that ... it's more transparent about how it thinking about things ... people can plan better of the cat out more of an effect on the economy today by getting people better ... guidance about what's going happen in the future ... you know I think iam they would lock themselves in they wouldn't say hard and fast numbers seven percent to twenty three percent inflation ... but I think what no one was suggesting today that it begins at these numbers ... what they would say is this is what our conversation would start we're not can even talk about it until ... we get unemployment down to seven percent or on less inflation gets up to three percent ... you know the conversation is off the table until we even get ... to ... you know what I saw the store in my first thought was oh they're ... they're thinking about exit strategies ... is there really isn't doing these things work now that John one thing person Danielle and the very important person so she says the adding ... clearly this is this is somewhere on the table and then world ... is the isthe is this is all this is just the APUs it this is just the opposite of them ... thinking about exiting what what she's trying to say this ... we wanted demonstrates you how far off and a kid actually is we wanna show do ... that it's not gonna happen until unemployment gets a lot lot lot lower ... so the idea is actually to give people confidence that an exit is far ... off in the future ... know what they're doing right now with the giving people calendar date they've been saying since September for instance that ... they won't start raising rates until mid twenty fifteen ... what they're talking about here is intact but you don't like the calendar days in the calendar dates are confusing bits and is another way of saying ... hey it's good to be a really really long time ... friend of the internet what the story the euro Christina ... you mention that one of the models they are looking at ... would keep rates near zero until early twenty sixteen ... that the one yelling dwelled on today you know she's what we call it job or of what I call policy activists ... she was that that doing everything they can to bring down unemployment so the models that she's using say ... keep rates low until you know twenty sixteen to the mid zero until twenty sixteen ... of course there are other people that their or our hearts ... that would raise rates to live ... in a lot sooner and that's you know ... part of the problem that they had is ... different it or using different models that come up with much different conclusions ... and the challenges to Germany's getting them all to agree ... that is why the hell I think coming up with numbers for this Charters approach ... is

Is the UN Population Fund Spreading Itself Too Thin?
By trying to do too many things, it ends up not doing enough.
The UN Population Fund should focus on one objective: universal access to sexual and reproductive health and promotion of reproductive rights, says the Center for Global Development Working Group in its report.
With its limited resources, the UNFPA's involvement in other activities has weakened its leadership and influence in this core mission. It just has too many things on its plate.
The agency currently works in three focal areas: sexual and reproductive health, population and development, and gender equality. It is also involved with supporting adolescents and youth, and HIV prevention.
The group suggests that the UNFPA should have "one objective, one agenda" and should rebrand itself as the lead agency for sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights. Anyway, other UN organizations are already working on the other focal areas that it currently covers.
The agency has a newly appointed executive director and the change in leadership may open to a new strategy in fulfilling its mandate.

And for Christmas, Marqise Lee gives us his smile.
It's a breathtaking smile, a constant glow both impish and welcoming, his mouth curling out and eyes lighting up into quite possibly the shiniest holiday ornament on the Los Angeles sports landscape.
The smile is his gift. It is also his sword.
"You know that guy in the movie 'Platoon' who keeps smiling and laughing even as they keep shooting him?" said Armando Flores, one of Lee's former foster parents. "That's Marqise."
TIMELINE: College football 2012-13 bowl schedule
The smile has come to symbolize the jaw-dropping football feats of this USC sophomore, who was voted the nation's best wide receiver while becoming a favorite for next year's Heisman Trophy. Yet to those who know him best, the smile is less about stardom than self-defense.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Civil Wars are returning with a new album.
The duo announced the news on their website Wednesday afternoon. They posted an image of the new self-titled album's cover along with a pair of handwritten notes from Joy Williams and John Paul White thanking fans for their patience.
The album will be released late summer by Columbia Records and is the follow-up to The Civil Wars' debut, "Barton Hollow." That album earned the duo two of their three Grammy Awards and a rapidly growing fan base. But their future together appeared in doubt when they canceled a European tour mid-trip, citing irreconcilable differences.
The album cover is a column of smoke from a fire.
White writes in his note to fans: "Patience is a virtue. Yours has been appreciated."

Al Jazeera to broadcast Syria documentary filmed entirely on iPhone
In an interesting development for mobile journalism, Al Jazeera is due to broadcast a documentary tomorrow night (Wednesday, 14 March) on Syria which has been filmed by a journalist using just an iPhone due to safety concerns.
According to a press release, the film, called 'Syria: Songs of Defiance', "follows the journalist, who is not named to protect the people he spoke to, on a journey amongst the uprising in Syria".
At the start of the documentary, the release adds, the correspondent for Al Jazeera will be heard saying:
I can't tell you my name. I've spent many months secretly in Syria for Al Jazeera.
I cannot show my face and my voice is disguised to conceal my identity, because I don't want to endanger my contacts in Syria.
Because carrying a camera would be risky, I took my cell phone with me as I moved around the country and captured images from the uprising that have so far remained unseen.

NEW YORK – MLS will hold its Re-Entry Draft for the second straight year on Dec. 5 and 12, the league announced on Thursday.
As in 2010, most players who are out of contract or whose options are not exercised by their current clubs will have the opportunity of signing with new teams when the two-stage Re-Entry process begins.
Last year, 13 players changed addresses during the Re-Entry process, 11 of whom moved in less than half an hour in Stage 2, including big-name veterans such as Juan Pablo Ángel, Jeff Cunningham, Jimmy Conrad, Josh Wolff, Frankie Hejduk and Cory Gibbs.
This year, the Stage 1 draft of the Re-Entry Process will be held on Dec. 5. Teams will select in reverse order of their finish during the 2011 season, taking into account their playoff performances. The expansion Montreal Impact will have the 19th selection.
Teams will be able to select players who fall under the following circumstances:
* Players who are at least 23 years old and have a minimum of three years of MLS experience whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2012).
* Players who are at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not offer them a contract at their previous salary (available at 2011 salary).
* Players who are at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them (available for at least 105 percent of their 2011 salary).
Players who are not selected in the Stage 1 draft will be made available for the Stage 2 draft on Dec. 12. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 will negotiate a new salary with any player not under contract.
Teams also have the option of passing on their selection.
Players who remain unselected after Stage 2 will be available to any MLS club on a first-come, first-served basis.
Players with expiring contracts or options that are not renewed by their clubs who do not meet the age and service requirements necessary to be included in the Re-Entry Process may be part of the Waiver Draft on Nov. 23.

Beaumont blaze devastates Howell Street residence
Beaumont firefighters doused a local residential fire on Thursday, March 13, but not before the home suffered significant structural damage.
According to a news release from the Beaumont Fire Department, shortly after 1:30 p.m., Beaumont Fire Rescue dispatched multiple units to the area of Howell and Viking streets after receiving several calls reporting a house on fire but without a good address. When firefighters arrived on scene, they found the roof of the home in the 1300 block of Howell Street on fire. The blaze was difficult to extinguish and caused major damage to the roof structure of the home, BFD reports. No one was home at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries.
Investigation of the scene determined the fire was caused by an individual using a torch to sweat a pipe joint in a wall. The fire traveled up the wall and into the attic space.

So there are a few pieces of WDN news that we wanted to put out there. I'll make this quick, cause I wouldn't want you to miss 'em by skipping an overly long post:
- The most urgent news is that our early discount ends Friday November 30th at midnight. As of December 1st, the registration price is our full and final price. If you're thinking of coming, you might be wise to get in on the discounted price and pocket the difference. (Which is basically an extra day at Whistler…) ()
- In speaker news, last week we quietly added Douglas Crockford to our lineup. If you're doing anything with Ajax, this is a talk you're not going to want to miss.
- And finally, in sponsor news, both Media Temple and Microsoft are already on board for 2008. You might remember Media Temple's blowout closing party from last year? Get ready for the sequel. And those of us at Whistler were thrilled to use the Garibaldi Lift Company as a home base and filling station thanks to Microsoft's great support. We're doing that again too.
Things are shaping up, we're almost done adding events and speakers, but stay tuned, there's even more yet to be announced.
we've decided to extend the discount an extra week, so you've got till this Friday to get in on the early price.

Car Review
2012 Kia Optima Hybrid: Emily's Kia
I've never been a believer that everything happens for a reason, but in the case of my wife's most recent vehicle purchase, this turned out to be absolutely the case. You see, a few weeks back, my wife and I made the decision to sell her older Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Emily's beloved Mercedes had accumulated a lot of miles, and it was starting to cost more to own than we'd like.
Now, when Emily told me she was thinking about getting rid of her car, I met her with mixed feelings. Car shopping isn't something I look forward to or enjoy. Don't get me wrong: I love cars, and I really love the industry, but shopping for them is nowhere on my fun list.
Okay, so we decided to sell her car. Obviously, my love of cars and the fact that I work at AutoTrader.com made the research fairly simple. The only problem was, this wasn't going to be my car. Emily had to love this car, and she had to be the one to lead the charge. Here's where I inject that I'm a very lucky guy, because Emily doesn't just buy things for no reason. She loves to research, explore her options and make an educated purchase. It's great, but it also means that I had some serious dealership time ahead of me.
After three weeks of research, we narrowed the choices down to a short list of her top four contenders and set out on our mission to find Emily's next car. The four choices were the Honda Accord, the Toyota Camry, the Ford Fusion and the the Hyundai Sonata. She told me her choices were based on the considerations of styling, safety, fuel economy and standard features. Knowing a fair amount about all of these great vehicles, I was okay about having any of the four parked in my garage for years to come. The test drives came and went, and initially the clear winner was a very nice Hyundai Sonata from a dealership a few miles from our house.
Here's where a little bit of fate and superstition kick in. I mentioned that I work for AutoTrader.com, where we occasionally get long-term editorial vehicles to review. It just so happened that on a random Friday afternoon, I was asked if I wanted to take the new Kia Optima Hybrid home for the weekend to evaluate. The car had showed up in the company garage just hours before this conversation took place, so I didn't even know we had one. I had seen the new Optima, thought it was a nice car, and know a fair amount about them-but not enough to form a personal opinion. Knowing that a new car would be fun for the weekend, I took the editors up on their offer.
I called Emily as always at the end of the work day to see what she wanted to do for the evening, and I was met with a flustered voice on the other end of the line. Her car had just broken down, and she was waiting for a tow truck to arrive. The problem turned out to be a fuel pump, which is pretty typical for a vehicle that age, but it didn't matter to her. She was over it. I told her that we were in luck: we had a 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid to drive for the weekend.
During our time with the Kia, Emily and I were shocked to find a vehicle that was loaded beyond anything we'd owned for quite some time. We were met with a huge panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled seats, and some very nice options you wouldn't typically think of when you think Kia. At least, I didn't think of a car like this when I thought about Kia. We had a very busy weekend planned, and the Kia kept up with us extremely well.
I think our Kia moment came when we and two friends were headed to a birthday party that Sunday afternoon. We were driving along, talking about how much we loved the car and enjoyed driving it, and commenting on how well built it was ,when my friend asked me, "So when do you want to go pick up your new Kia?" We chuckled, but only for a moment.
The following week, we brought the Optima Hybrid back, but Kia was now in our sights. Within three days of driving the new Optima, we'd both said goodbye to the other vehicles we were considering and said hello to our very own Kia Optima.
Now, if you told me five years ago I'd be buying a Kia Optima for my wife, I would have laughed and called you funny names. We're now some of the largest Kia brand advocates you'll ever meet, and it's all because we spent a weekend with a car we weren't even considering.

Re: Happy Halloween!
I didn't see any Star Wars related costumes, oddly enough. I saw two brothers as the Joker and Batman, a family with a pioneer theme (they were actually pretty cute), a dad and his son as sumo wrestlers, some of the standard stuff you see at Halloween, and beyond that a bunch of half-assed "costumes" (if they even wore any...). I don't like it when people come and don't dress up. I don't care how old you are if you come to the door, as long as you're in full costume. Otherwise, no, go home and try again.
I'm really glad you guys like my pumpkin, it means a lot to me (even though its going to get thrown out in a few days XD). I might try and take another picture, this time with flash so you can clearly see what I carved. Though its starting to look a little messed up now. I made it by first carefully sketching out my idea on paper (an hour or so to get it right), and planning out how to carve it. Then I re-drew Scrooge onto the pumpkin and carefully carved him out, and then carved out the background. That took about 3 hours. I used a reference, but did it entirely freehand. The carving itself was based on the Moon level from the first Ducktales NES game.
Oh and I like yours too, Cin. But, how do you light it? Is the hole in the bottom? Just curious.

Few real estate and rental agents know the area like Chaplin Williams.
Amelia Island Plantation, FL (PRWEB) November 24, 2012
3322 Fairway Oaks at Omni Amelia Island Plantation is a one-level villa with greens view, surrounded by flowers and shaded by mature trees. This private villa boasts two bedrooms, two baths, wood and tile floors, carpeted bedrooms, and plenty of light streaming through the wide windows. The seamless living room-dining room combination features ceiling fans and neutral walls. There are ceiling fans in both bedrooms as well, while the kitchen contains recessed lighting, granite countertops, and an elegant glass-tile backsplash. Kitchen appliances are new and included in the rental, as are the full-sized washer and dryer.
Because this is a one-story rental in a fully landscaped area, the villa is ideal for pets, and their owners are welcome here. No more elevator rides and no more cold-eyed looks from neighbors: this is a thoroughly pet-friendly community.
The Omni Amelia Island Plantation is a well-planned and brilliantly executed resort community. The farseeing founders gave priority to preserving the natural environment, and toward this end the marshes, savannahs, dunes and fields endemic here have been retained. Every structure was constructed with the site's natural beauty and resources in mind, and the result is an aesthetically pleasing and varied environment that appears to have grown naturally, with none of that artificial quality so common in other developments.
Amelia Links comprise 36 holes. The Oak Marsh and Ocean Links courses are open to the public, with special rates for families, juniors, and twilight playing hours. With the Fairway Oaks villa, optional membership in the Amelia Island Plantation club is included, giving members access to the Tom Fazio-designed Long Point course that takes full advantage of its marshy, dune-filled setting. Pro shops, instructions, and equipment shops are all part of the complex, and there are many nearby watering holes for post-game analysis.
Access to Amelia Island is easy from anywhere in the United States. From Jacksonville International Airport, the community is a short and scenic drive up the coast. For private flights, the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport puts renters and guests only minutes away. Because the villas are located on an island and feature a roaming security team, crime is a rarity here.
Few real estate and rental agents know the area like Chaplin Williams. The Chaplin Williams sign ensures dedication, experience, and honesty to buyers and renters alike. Rental property management is among their areas of expertise, and they will handle every aspect to the satisfaction of landlord and tenant.

str8wire necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 283 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
Farley Orthodontics
We are a new practice that needs a logo to establish our brand. Dr. Farley is a young guy who wants his practice to seem very current and up to date. The practice will be designed to be a fun place that is also professional. It will be geared towards children, but not necessarily designed solely to appeal to them. We want the parents and kids to feel comfortable with our doctor, staff and practice.
Parents of middle-school aged kids.
The primary target market for an orthodontic practice is typically mothers of middle-school aged kids. Moms want their kids to be well taken care of, and they want the kids to feel comfortable. Typically it is the mother that brings in children to their orthodontic appointment, but sometimes dads do too. It is also important to appeal to them.
The secondary market is general dentists. The dentists are the referral source and are very important to the lifeblood of a specialty practice. It is important that they can refer with confidence that their patient will be well cared for, and treated nicely.
STYLE: I would like a logo that utilizes a sans-serif typeface and a small icon. Take a look at the invisalign website. They utilize a concept that seems to work. I like a highly readable font, that will be easy to see at a distance
COLOR: I liked the blue and green of the vancouver olympics. Maybe we could concentrate on those, but I am open to others. No reds please, it can make people think of blood while at a dental office. Also, a design that will work in grayscale will help tremendously.
LAYOUT: The design will appear on a long rectangular sign on the front of the building, as well as a more typical rectangular sign on a post near the street. Please try to maximize the ability of the logo to be configured around space considerations.
DO: Please be creative on this. Orthodontists primarily sell transformation, self-esteem and confidence, not just straight teeth. Also, please avoid icons that look like clip art.
DON'T: Please no teeth, hearts, apples, toothbrushes, and other dental cliches.

Main Page
A. Academic Ranks, Titles, Perquisites
B. Recruitment for Academic Positions
E. Tenure/Reappointment/Promotion/Salary
H. Instructional Responsibilities
The new format makes the Academic Guide more accessible and easier to navigate. For the first time, users of the Guide will be able to browse through our academic policies, using the table of contents in the box at the left, selecting and copying passages that may be printed off or embedded in other documents. The "search" function enables users to find chosen character strings wherever they appear in the Guide. For the nine topics in the Guide listed to the left, the final section in each contains the actual policies themselves, listed and numbered. Sections that come before the policies are narrative summaries of our current administrative practices. To get a thorough understanding of a policy issue, you should consult both the relevant policies themselves, and their administrative interpretations. And finally, if you click on the lamp, you will return to the Academic Guide's main page. We hope that the revamped Academic Guide contributes in a positive way to shared faculty and administrative governance on the Bloomington campus.

I had a make over on a Trish McEvoy counter lately which was rather nice (I really do recommend having a makeover on their counters with a good SA/MUA because it's a good way to get used to the brand – they have a lot of stuff I haven't even discovered yet!).
At the end of the makeover I was given this Fast Track Lips product – you know I love my multi use goodies, and this is a two in one lip liner and lipstick. Both sides are retractable and you use them together or on their own.
One side is a nutty brown/nude liner and the other is a thicker peach type lipstick.
There is only one shade with this product – it's a one off! So technically the shades should work for all skin tones. I'm not sure how much it would show up on dark skin tones but I tried it on my fair skinned friend and it was a warm coral and on me, its a nude peach (as you will see).
I like this product – the liner and lipstick sides are both neutral and totally wearable. I also like the creamy texture of the product. If I have one criticism it's that the lipstick side is flat, so can be a bit tricky to apply until you've used it a few times and it moulds into a rounded shape:
The top is the lip liner, the inside is a peach with a slight shimmer.
You can use them together or alone – I used the liner side as a lip liner and the peach to fill my lips in. The formula isn't drying.
When it's on it reminds me of the Soap & Glory Marvelips! Marvelips is more glossy and pinker though.
Here it is:
Overall, I think this is a great product! I personally love things you can carry around with you and are multi use anyway so it's pretty useful for me. I'd love to see it in some other shades, perhaps a full on pink or red?
More about the here.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - Michal and Drew - FULL CONTACT
Michal and Drew - FULL CONTACT
Two very good guys, Drew Hemcak and Michal Herak feature in this duo. Michal is a small guy, who is a great bottom and Drew has shown us what a good top he can be too. Things start with the guys sharing a bottle of water, as they take a rest from working. They playfully spray each other with some water, as they work up to doing what they really want. Soon Drew has the courage he needs and stands up and kisses Michal. Michal responds in kind as they also start to feel each other's bodies. Drew takes the lead and removes Michal's jeans and sucks his already quite hard cock. That cock gets rock hard as it is sucked, with Michal holding Drew's head in place as he sucks. Michal then returns the favor by sucking Drew, whose dick looks very big indeed. Clearly Michal loves cock and really sucks and licks it, with relish. Drew is enjoying it and takes his cock and slaps it around Michal's face before pushing it back into his mouth. Drew then grabs Michal by the hair and pushes the cock in and out. Drew then wants more and Michal turns around so that his ass can get some attention. Drew rims that hot ass, tonguing the hole real well, before standing and pushing his big, long cock deep into that ass. He pounds that ass hard and fast, with Michal moaning at each thrust. Then Drew sits and Michal climbs on to ride that cock, bouncing up and down on it before Drew takes over and fucks his throbbing dick up into that willing hole. Michal can take it very well and drew grabs his legs, lifting them up so he can fuck even deeper, with Michal laying on his chest. It's not long before Drew needs to blow, which he does, dumping a nice big load into Michal's open mouth. Michal's tongue laps at the spent cock as he wanks himself to a very good climax. Drew moves into a 69 position to suck Michal's cock dry, with Michal also lapping at Drew's. What a lovely scene, with two very good guys.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
We paired Kamil Kladeklo with the experienced top Mirek Ceslar for this Screentest. Kamil is a very nice looking guy and I was very keen to see him with another guy. Things start out with Mirek doing a brief interview with Kamil. Mirek starts things off rubbing Kamil's chest and licking at a nipple before kissing him. Kamil responds to the kissing and he begins to feel Mirek as well. Mirek takes Kamil's cock out of his jeans and starts to wank it as he kisses him. Kamil's cock is very hard indeed as Mirek wanks it. They remove Kamil's jeans and his cock is staning proud. Mirek continues to wank it and then takes it in his mouth for sucking. Mirek's mouth slide that big, hard cock in and out, lips closed tightly around the shaft. Mirek wants to move on to the next step and kisses Kamil and then pulls his own cock out and presents it to Kamil for sucking. Kamil is eager to please and does well at sucking and then licking up and down the shaft while he also plays with Mirek's balls. Mirek then positions Kamil for a 69, with Kamil underneath and Mirek on top. They both suck, with gusto, Kamil's head rocking up and down to get the cock and Mirek's ass is in full view as the cock is sucked. Next Mirek pays attention to Kamils nice hairy ass. With a leg in the air the hole is exposed and Mirek slips two fingers into that tight hole. He really works the hole, as he also wanks Kamil's cock. Three fingers stretch the hole very well and make it ready for cock. Mirek's cock is hard and ready, so he slides it into Kamil's ass and begins to fuck him. Holding Kamil's leg up gives Mirek full access to that hole and he really fucks deep and hard, with Kamil's cock rock hard and in need of wanking again. Mirek then lays on the bed and Kamil climbs on top, with Mirek holding him so that his ass is exposed and available for his cock. That cock rams into Kamil's ass so deep as it fucks it as hard as it can go. Kamil stays completely hard as he gets fucked and they move to a doggy style, with Kamil's cock pushed back between his legs and Mirek pounds his ass. Mirek really works that eager hole with his cock slamming in and out until he cant hold back and he moves to shoot his load all over Kamil's face and chest, squirting everywhere. Kamil then takes the spent cock in his mouth to drain it more completely. This sends Kamil over the edge as well and he blows his load too. To bring a wonderful screentest to an end, with Kamil proving that he is a great bottom.
Latest Updates Trailer
Hi, Geoff will be taking over the next few Newsletters. By the time this is published I'll have completed the foot surgery and will be in the recovery room. I will have my MacBook Air with me and as soon as I'm able, I'll post something on the Blog. Meanwhile, I finished my final first look of this month's Wank Party. As soon as I'm able, I'll edit the long HD version. Please take a look at this final 'teaser.'
Hi Everybody, this is Geoff substituting for Bill while he is indisposed. He went into hospital yesterday and messaged me to say that his room was quite nice and that lunch was satisfactory too. Today is the day of his operation, as I write this I don't have any update on that. I did see him online early this morning, but then he went offline, I guess to prepare for the operation on his foot. I am sure we all send good wishes for a successful operation and a speedy recovery.
Today's newsletter has a host of great updates to check, Michal Herak with Drew Hemcak, Jozef Vavrich's Massage, erotic videos from Roman Stach and Kaja Kolomaz as well as a lovely stills shoot with Jirka Bohaty. In the castings today we have Ondra Jeden, Tomas Jedno, Roman Zloch and Ladislav Tovarek. They all have their attractions but my pick today would be Roman Zloch.
Bill should be out of hospital by Friday, but I am sure he will not be up to doing the newsletter so I will be with you again then. I will try to provide an update on Bill's progress then.

Church Relations
Bluffton University was founded in 1899 as an institution to educate young people of the Middle District of the General Conference Mennonite Church. Soon, related groups in the United States and Canada were included in its constituency. Today Bluffton University is one of five Mennonite colleges affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. Bluffton has been a Mennonite institution from the very beginning, but always has included students irrespective of sex, color, nationality or church affiliation. Bluffton University helps Mennonite students grow in an appreciation and commitment to the fundamental elements of the Mennonite faith and practice; it also provides a value system for all students that include justice, respect, care for the earth, service and peaceful coexistence.
Bluffton strives to maintain a close relationship with the denomination's congregations in a variety of ways including submitting annual reports to MCUSA area conferences and attending many of the annual gatherings, participating in the biennial MCUSA convention, being involved with the Mennonite Education Agency and seeking counsel of pastors through the Bluffton University President's Council of Church Leaders and Minister in Residence program.
Bluffton serves the church by hosting events such as MCUSA Central District Conference and Ohio Conference annual gatherings. We assist congregations with worship and educational needs via Camerata Singers, faculty speakers and The Lion and Lamb Peace Arts Center.
