Istria is a peninsular in the Adriatic sea and the region is shared by Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. My husband and I stayed there for a week and based ourselves in Pula. Pula is the largest city in Istria County, although with a population of only 57,460 at the last census (compared to 751,500 in Leeds), it doesn't really feel like a city at all. The old town area has one main street with lots of shops and restaurants, with a Roman arch at one end, a square in the middle and a Roman amphitheatre at the other end. Its also a working port, so has a waterfront area, although this is more industrial than it is pretty. It's great for fish spotting though, there are literally hundreds of them (if you throw bread in the water it creates a feeding frenzy!).
We rented an apartment just off the main street; the apartment block contained a mix of holiday lets and residential properties. It was basic but clean, and really reasonably priced. We spent our first couple of days exploring Pula, admiring the Roman arch, visiting the amphitheatre (known locally as the arena), people watching from bars and eating al fresco. We also visited Kastel, an old fortress. The exhibition there is apparently nothing special, so we just wandered round in the sunshine and admired the panoramic views of Pula. As an added bonus, there was a photography exhibition there too, displaying old photos of Pula and the surrounding area, so I was happy. At this time of year, there seemed to be as many locals in the city as there were tourists, which helps the city maintain an authentic feel.
As we were on a tight budget, we shopped at the market most days for breakfast and lunch (which we ate wherever we happened to be on that day), then ate out in the evenings. The market is fab; there is an indoor meat and fish section, with a deli section upstairs and an outdoor part, selling fruit and vegetables, cheese, local oil and honey and flowers. All the cheese sellers offer tastings before you buy too, so walk round them all before you commit to anything! The stall holders are friendly and speak good English, although we mainly managed with about five Croatian words and a bit of pointing. My favourite bars were City Bar, which has outside seating in a small square (just off the main street) and friendly bar staff, along with Fiorin Jazz Cafe, which has a few tables outside (but is pretty cool inside too). Both these bars appear to be frequented by locals as well as tourists. Restaurant wise, I loved Hosteria, which is a Croatian restaurant down a side street off the waterside road (Riva). We ate Pljukanci (a Croatian pasta) with squid and it was amazing. We also had a fish platter at Barbara, which was on the main street so a bit more touristy, but the fish was amazing. It changes depending on what comes in off the boats, is simply grilled and perfectly seasoned. We also had a seafood platter at another restaurant on the main street, on a corner just behind the town hall, but sadly I didn't note the name. Clearly I need to remember to make notes for blog purposes! The staff here were really friendly and the seafood was great and really reasonably priced.
After seeing all that Pula had to offer, we decided to walk to the nearest beaches, which are a few kilometres away. The closest is Valkane, which has a slightly neglected feel about it... it has facilities, such as a beach bar and volleyball court, but could really use a facelift. Much nicer is Valseline, which you reach by following the coast road round, passing rocky coast and shingle coves on the way. Both these beaches seem to be more popular with locals than tourists, though this may have been because of the time of year.
Now, a note about the beaches. Istria doesn't seem to have sandy beaches; the coves are shingle and coast is rocky. This means you need to be equipped if you plan on a relaxing day at the beach... all the beach shops sell large flat cushions and I recommend that you buy one, otherwise you are not going to be doing much sunbathing! They also sell beach shoes, which protect your feet when accessing the sea and, perhaps more importantly, stop you from slipping off the rocks when carefully making your way in. We didn't buy any and had an unfortunate incident involving my husband, a slippery rock and a quicker than planned introduction to the water! Once you have figured out how to get in, however, the sea is amazing, so clear that you can see to the bottom, and you can see little fish swimming around your feet.
We then decided to brave the bus system (surprisingly easy and reliable) in order to visit Kamenjak, a national park at the very southern tip of Istria. Kamenjak is a long thin strip of protected coastline and is insanely beautiful. It's also, like the other beaches we visited, really quiet. Its easy to find a cove all to yourself to relax and swim. If you are feeling brave, you can join the cliff jumpers at the southern end of the park jumping 70 feet into the strong currents (no thanks); if not you can hire a bike in town and cycle the area.
On our last day, we headed to Rovinj, a fishing port and former island which is now connected to the mainland. Rovinj has a very Venetian feel (it was historically under Venetian and more recently Italian rule). There are mazes of narrow cobbled streets, which open up to piazzas or the beautiful coastline. There are numerous restaurants, which unsurprisingly specialise in fish and seafood. Many restaurants have coastal terraces and I seriously cannot think of a better place to eat. Eating grilled squid and seafood risotto a stone's throw from where it was caught, baking in the late summer sun is a meal I will remember for a long time to come. We loved Rovinj so much that we hope to go back next year.
There is so much more to Coastal Istria that we didn't mange to see, such as the Lim Fjord, Brijuni Islands and Porec, so I really hope we make it back next year, using Rovinj as our base and exploring from there. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a reasonably priced, relaxing break eating seafood and swimming in the sea.

We cannot create jobs, improve lives, build communities or live as human beings without affecting our environment. But as we do so, we can and must minimize impacts, safeguard wildlife habitats and environmental values, and conserve energy and other resources. In short, we must be good stewards of the earth, while meeting the needs of American families and helping less fortunate families and nations achieve their dreams.
All wealth and human progress come from holes in the ground or water: trees and food crops that sprout from the earth, fish pulled from lakes and oceans, and of course energy, metals and other raw materials extracted via mines and wells. Responsibly developing these essential resources brings progress, greater prosperity, better living standards, improved health and longevity, and greater environmental protection.
Humans are consumers and polluters. However, we are also creators, innovators, protectors and stewards. By unleashing responsible free enterprise and our ultimate resource (our creative minds), and by ensuring access to affordable energy, raw materials and modern technologies, we can create jobs, generate new government revenues, make our world better, and improve the lives and fortunes of our fellow human beings in America and poor countries – while also protecting wildlife, habitats and other natural treasures.

|Conceptually mad? Nope. It's Rach Sorensen!
It's about time we started doing some 'mash-ups' with other blogs we love and tonight we're getting this initiative rolling with Rach Sorensen, the writer behind our favourite new read, The Concept of Madness. "A place where those of a creative nature which dance on the borders of hypo-mania can find some daily rest." With thoughts and posts ranging from the meaning of inspiration and the muse to Where the Wild Things Are drawings to satisfy that cool inner-90s kid lurking within, Rach and her concept and challenge of madness, the weird and the wonderful are a must-read. Rach has a great appreciation for music too, which makes her the perfect candidate for our weekly interview session! We had a chat about the last song she'd ever want to hear, dream festival booking, underrated artists and I go all psychoanalytical for a minute too. Enjoy and don't forget to head on over to The Concept of Madness for a good read after!
Q. What have been your favourite songs of 2012 so far?
Rach: Frank Ocean 'Thinking About You' has got to be my absolute most preferred of 2012. I have logistical evidence of this with my iTunes clocking 482 plays shifting it over into the 'freakily obsessed' category. The song was actually a 2011 debut by Frank but considering it is featured on his new album 'Channel Orange' released this month I will ignore this technicality. Besides it just being an insanely good song for reasons that go beyond written or verbal description but can only be experienced, the recent announcement of Franks homosexuality gives the lyrics a whole new dimension and re-invents the heavenly awesomeness of the song again. It is the song that keeps on giving.
In between Frank, my other 2012 releases on repeat are 'Angels' by The XX (I am an The XX lemming, they could release anything and I'd follow it… except it wouldn't lead me to disaster like an actual Lemming) and staying true to my hip-hop blood 'Sleepless Dreamers' by The Pro-Letarians, a duo from Indiana and my new all-time faves.
Q./Statement? - You were writing about Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud recently on The Concept of Madness, so I'm going to go all psychoanalyst (or something) on you by playing a little game called word association. I'm gonna throw some phrases, singers or bands at you and you just write down the first word that comes to your head. Got it? Great. Here we go...
|I know this is droppin' it, but I don't know if it's hot...
i) The X Factor – (Scream!)
ii) Nicki Minaj – Lil' Kim?
iii) Justin Bieber - Iloveyou
iv) 90s Music – Lives!
v) One Direction - Shame
Q. What would be the last song you'd ever want to hear. Ever. And why?
Rach: Ever! You are so morbid. 'The Woman In You' by Ben Harper. I can't even tell you why. It has been my number one song of all time ever since I heard it eleven years ago yet I have never been able to pinpoint exactly why I am so irrationally head over heels for it. I guess mystery is just the nature of true love. All I know is that every time it plays my heart flips and throbs and does all weird stuff.
Q./Challenge? - I'm assuming you like to make lists. Make a list for me now! The theme of the list? The 10 most underrated music acts. Go!
1) N.E.R.D. (I know there are less-fortunate people in the world to feel sorry for than Pharrell Williams but I still believe N.E.R.D. never received the praise and glory they were worthy of. I put it down to being too ahead of their time.)
2) Ja Rule – Judge away… I have grown quite accustomed to it.
3) The Pro-Letarians – Listen to them now! No I am not their publicist.
4) Badly Drawn Boy – I cannot comprehend why every single person in the whole world doesn't love them.
5) Keith Sweat – Twisted? Anyone?? Nup, just me.
6) Kings of Convenience – They're like a cuter, Frencher Jack Johnson…. C'mon!!!!
7) Post-Country Grammar-Contemporary-Day Nelly – Give him a second chance, the guy tries really hard, he just wants us to like him that's all.
8) Robin Thicke – Australians still haven't clued on, seemingly he is the one and only thing Americans have gotten right.
9) The Weeknd – It upsets me when Lil' Wayne gets air-time over him. Sigh.
10) Rocki Evans – Just as good as Frank Ocean. Yep, I said it.
|"What do you mean people don't like me?"
Q. Splendour In The Grass is done for the year and the Big Day Out line-up has left fans divided. If The Concept of Madness put on their own festival, who'd you put on the bill?
Rach: Oh my Lordy, ready and inhale...
KanyeWest (scrap that because then Kim would have to come and I would have to entertain her and I just… ugh no I couldn't), Jodeci, Drake, BenHarper, ActiveChild, HologramAliyah.
Q. Finish this sentence; music is important to me because...
Rach: It is the most rewarding source of inspiration available that requires the least amount of effort to reap its heart stirring rewards. I don't have to read it. I don't have to watch it. I don't have to scroll down it. I don't have to flip any pages. I don't have to exert any physical energy whatsoever. All I have to do is sit and listen.
Thanks to Rach for her amazing answers. That's so true about music being the most rewarding medium to require so little from you. You can sign me up for The Concept of Madness Festival too... so many holograms, so little time! Don't forget, you could be next dear readers... you've just got to like our Facebook page! Speaking of Facebook, have a look at The Concept of Madness on Facebook too!

Putting the 'human element' back in marketing
During the recent CMO Momentum conference, Paul Mitchell shared how marketing leaders can create cultures that deliver
Citi's head of customer experience shares how she's realigned the marketing function to better collaborate and use data
Marketing teams that don't align on customer throughout the planning, launch and optimisation of brand campaigns are missing out on the opportunity to drive better experiences and engagement.
That's the view of Citi head of customer experience, Tanya Smith, who caught up with CMO recently to talk about her role leading CX efforts across the banking group, as well as the increasingly tighter ties being forged between her marketing, digital, data analytics and customer experience management teams.
Over the past two years, Smith has led all four areas for Citi and increasingly sought to break down perceived silos between functions. In addition, she's worked hard to instill a customer-led culture right across the organisation, using data, metrics and ways of working to achieve her ambitions.
The biggest change has been what Citi calls 'decision management', its data and analytics arm. Historically, decision management used to support existing customer activity, pulling customer lists and helping to satisfy existing customer needs. Today, the data team supports everything, from acquisition journeys, using data management platforms and look-a-like audiences, to dovetailing between digital and data.
"Digital and data used to operate as siloed organisations, whereas now they can't operate without each other," Smith said. "There's a lot of interesting work happening regionally in the data space as well. Big banks architect in a way where there are lots of different data pools. Now, we're pulling all of that together, and augmenting that with external data as well."
In addition, thanks to work on APIs, Citi is partnering with third-parties and gaining access to a raft of additional data that supports an increasingly behavioural-based approach to customer insight and understanding.
Across the marketing function, it's not surprising then that Smith finds it vital to have data ability and be analytical. But there's another level skillset around modelling, propensity building and look-a-like audiences that must also be tapped into for wider customer success.
"That's where I need the data and marketing people to come together. It's not enough to just upskill marketers with a data skillset, they need to collaborate," she said.
Realigning marketing roles has been part of Smith's work to better unite experience and messaging across the customer lifecycle. Citi has had different marketing teams covering acquisition, engagement and customer experience and each had distinct metrics around awareness, consideration and preference.
In 2017, when Citi launched its 'Bring on a brand new world' campaign, about enabling growth and progress of customers, every team took the same approach.
"Acquisition are not just making how many new customers they're getting, but looking at the halo from their activity and seeing how that's feeding into typical brand metrics," Smith explained. "And the brand guys are doing the same – it's a brand campaign but then working out what our engagement uplifts are and how that is effecting acquisition.
"In 2018, we're taking that and making sure the voice to the customer is also the same voice internally. And how does that turn into a staff campaign."
On top of this, every employee at Citi has Net Promoter Score (NPS) as part of their scorecard.
What's also been vital is adopting a test-and-learn approach. To do this, Citi has increasingly adopted agile ways of working. It's then tapping internal and third-party data sets and actively seeking customer input throughout the process of development, launch and optimisation.
As a case in point, Smith noted the 'Bring on a brand new work' campaign, which featured different customers doing amazing things Citi has helped support.
"We found early on when we were doing the brand research that those individuals were going to define the success or failure of the campaign," Smith said. "If customers didn't resonate with other customers it wasn't going to work.
"We actually changed out some of the stories as a result. And there were different insights where we found people don't want to see someone at the end of the journey, but on the journey. Consumers want to see people changing the world and making it a great place rather than getting individually rich. Some of these insights then fed into the way we rolled out the campaign.
"People really like the human connection. We have to make sure that's how people see the Citi brand."
Social listening is then actively used by Citi to tweak campaign efforts.
"Now when you launch, you don't just sit back and watch how a campaign goes, you launch then everyday you're tinkering and changing, getting insights, changing out the creative and doing personalisation as well," Smith said. "It's making the job of a marketer more interesting. But they can no longer just think creatively, they need to be thinking about the data, digital, messaging. It all comes together."
Marketers can't sit on their laurels, Smith said - the world is changing too quickly and rapidly.
"For me, it's making sure the people we have working here in that space are curious, challenging and keeping up with what's possible," she said. "It's not just creative but understanding the digital, data components of it, then seeking out expertise in the organisation where you need sophisticated modelling, for example, and bringing that into what they do. It's just how you connect all the dots to deliver on a personalised customer experience."
Some of that comes from local forces, but the Australian Citi team is also looking regionally and globally for inspiration.
"Sometimes they're bringing in things we haven't even thought about, which are amazing solutions for the local customers, so it's making sure we are aware of the power of the global network and leveraging it," Smith added. "All this requires marketers to look internally, externally, cross-border, then keep coming back to what the customer wants."

During the recent CMO Momentum conference, Paul Mitchell shared how marketing leaders can create cultures that deliver
In 1982, an AT&T employee by the name of Plotzke predicted the rise of voice: "In fact, it has been predicted that, by 1990, well over half the communications dollars spent by businesses will be for products and services that include voice technologies.
The speed and pace of change will never be slower than we're experiencing today. So in this era of unprecedented change, how can brands meet soaring consumer expectations, stay relevant and deliver differentiated and connected experiences?

It's a novelty toy and its just really cool. It will do wheelies down the street!
I picked it up in Denver Colorado last year, I drove from Los Angeles just to pick it up in person because there are very few of them and did not want to trust a shipper. Its powered with a Tecumseh 3 1/2 hp engine, it hasn't been ridden since the eighties. The last owner said it was used by Burger King and they had named it the "Whopper Hopper" It since has been painted yellow (done when he bought it in the eighties) I was wondering if you would put it in the novelties section and ask if anyone remembers it back in the sixties or seventies in the Denver area used by Burger King? thanks, James Chutuk

Four men in China created a fake interrogation room in an abandoned mall to scam money out of frightened officials, South China Morning Post reports.
Police in the city of Suihua arrested three of the four suspects for alleged racketeering on September 28, local media reported Monday. One remains at large.
The three suspects reportedly confessed they had spent three months and more than $243,000 to build the bogus setup.
Bogus China graft-busters created fake interrogation room to scam cash https://t.co/Q7j9NADx97 via @SCMP_News pic.twitter.com/nXNczYRGxR
— David Moore@SCMP (@DavidMooreSCMP) October 20, 2015
But the scheme backfired after the men interrogated a manager in the city's Agriculture Department in late August and demanded $63,000 to settle the case.
The official and his wife alerted authorities, police later tracked the men and two were arrested. One turned himself in.
A similar case was reported in China in July when a man was arrested for setting up his home to look like a police station, complete with an interrogation room of its own, South China Morning Post reports.
The man launched the scheme in 2013 in which he charged his victims fees to solve their issues, South China Morning Post adds. But his cover was blown after he tried to blackmail his ex-girlfriend with a secret sex tape and she reported the threat to authorities, according to Chutian Metropolis Daily.
Upon searching Lei's home, officers found police and military uniforms, handcuffs and stun guns, among other items. The man also drove a car with a siren and was discovered to have impersonated an army captain.
When Lei's girlfriend initiated the couple's break-up, he told her he had had been monitoring her with a GPS-tracking device.
Last week, Lei demanded $101,000 from the woman as a break-up fee for having been a good boyfriend.
A police investigation is ongoing.

[…] seemed to be saying they were confused by Facebook Facial Recognition led me to believe that my post on the topic wasn't clear […]
What is Facebook facial recognition?
Facebook says facial recognition is a way to make photo tagging easier. Using image data taken from the more than 90 billion photos that have been uploaded to the site, Facebook uses faceprints to find your friends in your photos as you upload them. This feature has been available in the US since the end of 2010 and is now available in most countries.
Is it on in my account?
Yes. It probably is. Facebook opts all users into facial recognition, as it does to most new features.
Ew. Can I turn this off now?
Yes. Go to Account> Privacy> Click on "Customize settings"> Under "Things Others Share" find "Suggest photos of me to friends" and click the Edit Settings button > Click the button that says Enabled and select Disabled.
Am I safe now?
You're probably safe, unless you're reading this as you're driving. But if you're worried about controlling your image on Facebook, you should probably check your profile, adjust your photo tagging settings and stop search engines from finding your profile.
Okay. I can feel my hands again. Now why was I so scared?
You're not alone. Maybe you thought strangers would be able to identify you by just posting a picture?
Yes. I don't want strangers to be able to point their phones at me and know who I am. Can they do that?
Not using Facebook's facial recognition. Only your friends will be able to identify you in pictures. For strangers to have access to your faceprint, Facebook would have to radically change the feature. This seems unlikely given how sensitive users are to facial recognition. Google has indicated they wouldn't pursue such a stranger search because the former CEO found the technology "very concerning."
So there's no danger?
Well, are you looking for a job or might you be at some point?
Then your images could end up as part of a pre-employment background check. And this feature may help your friends tag you in a photo that may not impress your future employer.
How can I make sure that never happens?
You can't opt out of new photos you are tagged in on a one-by-one basis. Or you can just make sure you're the only one who can see that you've been tagged in a photo…
I want to do that. I want to be the only one who can see if I'm tagged in a photo. How do I do that?
Go to Account> Privacy> Click on "Customize settings"> Under "Things Others Share" find "Photos or videos I'm tagged in" and click Edit Settings> Next to "Who can see photos and videos I'm tagged in" select Custom> Below "Make this visible to" select "Only me."
Why does Facebook make it so hard to make it so I'm the only one who can see if I'm tagged in a photo?
Facebook has complex settings because it has complex features. Additionally, photo tagging is also extremely important to Facebook's growth. Photo sharing is the site's core competency and photo tags generate updates in your feed that bring you back to the site. Additionally, Facebook's growth is coming from countries where mobile phone adoption is massive. Quick tagging tools enable mobile users to tag on the go. Facebook really does want to make photo tagging easy for you—for business and not surveillance reasons.
Shouldn't this be something that I have to opt into?
Lots of people say, "Yes."Facebook opts users into new features because Facebook is a business and this feature is much more useful to its business if everyone is using it. Since Facebook didn't see a change in what you share with whom, it rolled facial recognition out to all users. Facebook has said it should have been "more clear' about the feature.
So it's not the end of the world.
It's the beginning of a new world. Privacy issues involving facial recognition and location sharing are evolving on a daily basis. All of us have to think of the practical implications of making ourselves easier to identify and locate. Numerous unforeseen benefits and costs likely await us all.
[…] seemed to be saying they were confused by Facebook Facial Recognition led me to believe that my post on the topic wasn't clear […]
I may be in someone else's picture posted without my authorisation. How can I stop that?
I don't use Facebook for all sorts of privacy and control reasons – like why should they read my or others' content as I understand they do, to generate business?. A computer user in my 50's brought up in the world of viruses thinks very differently about sharing material.

This month the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to cut the official cash rate to an historic low of 2.25 per cent, and with banks willing to pass these savings on, current Perth property owners have plenty of reasons to rejoice.
Not since the 1970s has Australia's cash rate been so low. The last time a home loan was below 5% (which is where it will fall to with a cash rate of 2.25%) was over 30 years ago – it has been a long time since Australians have been able to access money so cheaply!
Peard Real Estate CEO, Peter Peard, explains how record low interest rates have opened up a window of opportunity for current property owners.
"Over the past year, the gap between higher and lower priced properties has narrowed due to continued strength in the lower to mid-range of the property market."
Mr Peard proposes that success in real estate comes down to timing, and right now, the market is ideal for property upgraders.
"Home owners should be making the most of Perth's current real estate market and low interest rates, to invest in an area that will see strong capital growth in the long term", says Mr Peard.
Take inland suburbs such as Alexander Heights for example; with a median house price of $510,000, have experienced price jumps of 11.3 per cent, while prices in the coastal suburb of Kallaroo have fallen by 7 per cent during the same period.
As money becomes cheaper, property investors too are more interested in investing in the market, using the depreciation benefits to their advantage. We can definitely expect to see more investors snapping up properties that most commonly are reserved for first home buyers. Investors are likely to bank on capital appreciation and can afford the off-set from the loss.
This, of course, will have a back lash on first home buyers, making it even tougher for them to enter the market. As more investors are interested in the same traditional first homes as first time buyers, competition will be high. Two bedroom homes in prime locations will become tougher to buy and anything that is a corner block with redevelopment potential is almost certain to be purchased by an investor, making things increasingly difficult for first time buyers.
So you might ask – why is the RBA choosing to lower the cash rate now? And why so drastically low?
In a nutshell, lower interest rates make it much cheaper to borrow which encourages spending and investment.
With interest rates lowering, consumers have reduced incentive to save as smaller returns are made. Instead, they are encouraged to spend, and putting money back into the economy. This helps to build consumer confidence in the market.
Since the beginning of rate cuts spending has been minimal, and it is believed that the RBA will continue to push interest rates down to further encourage spending on goods and services.
If consumer spending begins to pick up, so too will the economy. This will help us to see more jobs become available, helping to keep unemployment stable or even lower it.

Porn-Star Confidential: Kirsten Dunst
by RandyPan
Celebs: Kirsten Dunst
This is fiction, it did NOT happen. Fantasy is legal.
Also, if you like this story, email me at email@example.com
Note: This is a spin-off of my Porno Chic series. Picture this in the style of one of those porno compilations.
We fade in on Kirsten sitting in a director-style chair on a film set. The interviewer speaks. "So, I'm speaking to the very sexy Kirsten Dunst. Kirsten, I'd like to start by talking about where you began. You started out dancing, I believe?"
"Yeah," she does the quote fingers, chuckling, "'dancing', as you call it, way back in Jersey. I actually started stripping right out of high school. You know, it seemed like a good way to earn money for college, especially since, we, uh, weren't that well off. I mean, they weren't even particularly high class places. I took my clothes off in some of the grungiest places you could imagine."
"I've seen videos of some of your routines from back then-"
"Oh, jeez!" Kirsten partially covers her face and laughs.
"You're really good in them! You must have gotten a lot of tips!"
"Uh, yeah. For some reason, I found insisting they give me their tips with their mouths actually increased the amount I got, both in frequency and monetarily. I guess the opportunity to have their face that close to my tits, or to my ass, made them a little more enthusiastic about giving." She laughs as she says this last part.
"So, when did you get into making movies?"
"This video company was doing kind of a doc, like 'Pole-Girls of Jersey', probably where you saw me, and I got a lot of fans for my appearance, so they asked if I was interested in making movies with them."
"Do you enjoy performing?"
"Oh, hell, yeah! I can't think of a job more fun than getting paid to fuck hot guys!"
"What kind of guys do you most like to work with?"
"Honestly, guys who look kind of shabby and unkempt. I don't know what it is; I see a guy with a scruffy bit of face fuzz and hair in need of a comb, it just makes me weak."
It then cuts to Kirsten sitting on a guy's lap, legs wrapped around him, on a bed. We see them make out, as she runs her fingers through his hair, then she starts grinding against his lap. "Hm, feels like somebody's ready."
She then gets on her hands and knees in front of him, and pulls down the front of his jockeys, and his big, hard cock pops out. Kirsten smiles up at him, then leans down, and, in our first close-up, starts to suck him off, lips sliding up and down his turgid member. As she sucks him off, the guy unhooks her bra, and she takes it off. At one point, she takes the guy's cock out of her mouth, and jerks him off, while again looking up at him, licking her lips, and then, back in the close-up, she licks and sucks his head, while continuing to stroke the shaft.
Kirsten then wraps her big tits around the guy's cock, and jerks him off with them. We see another close-up, as the guy's cock peeks out from between Kirsten's tits. As it goes back in, we see her tits are a little wet from the guy's pre-cum.
We now see the guy on his back, and Kirsten, sans panties, straddling him, hands on his thighs, as she rides his cock. In another close-up, we see her pussy move up and down on his dick, almost like it's sucking him off. "Oh, fuck..." Kirsten moans, tilting her head back, tits bouncing and jiggling, as she fucks him. At one point, the guy reaches up, and grabs Kirsten's titties, so, smiling, she leans down, and brings them down into his face, and, in yet another close-up, he sucks her hard, brown nipples.
She's now once again on her hands and knees, as the guy fucks her doggy-style. "Ohhh, fuck me!" Kirsten moans throatily, grimacing. "C'mon, slap my ass!" The guy complies, and let's out a loud, enthusiastic, "Yeah!" We get an underside shot, as his cock quickly goes in and out of her pussy, his body and her ass making loud slapping noises as they collide. After a couple minutes, Kirsten gets up on her knees, wraps her arm around his neck, and he grabs her titties, while continuing to fuck her.
Now, Kirsten's on her back, as the guy lies on his stomach in front of her. In another close-up, the guy is eating out her pussy, while rubbing her clit with his thumb. "Mm! Oh, fuck, baby!" Kirsten writhes under him, squeezing her tits. Smiling, she says, "Hm, rub your beard on my pussy." Back in the close-up, the guy rubs his hairy chin on her cunt, and she gasps and moans, and spazzes a bit.
The guy is now kneeling between her legs, and we see her tits whipping up and down as he fucks her. "Oh, yeah! Oh, fuck! Fuck me!" In another close-up, we see his cock move quickly in and out of her dripping wet pussy. "Oh! Fuck!" Before long, Kirsten arches her back, and cries out hoarsely, as she cums.
Between breaths, Kirsten says, in a low growl, "Put that big cock in my fucking asshole!" In another close-up, we see the guy press the tip of his cock against Kirsten's pink, quivering butt-hole, dripping wet from her pussy drooling all over it, then pushes his dick in. "Ohhh, fuck!" Kirsten groans, brow furrowing, as the cock pushes its way deeper into her ass. Back in the close-up, the guy's dick moves slowly in and out of Kirsten's asshole, the lower part of her pussy flexing slightly as her ass is fucked.
Before long, the guy starts groaning, then straddles Kirsten, and jerks his cock, which finally goes off all over her neck and chest, giving her a pearl necklace. She then lifts her head up, and gives his cock one last suck, then lies back, grinning. "Okay, I need a shower and a nap," she says, and the guy laughs, as the scene fades out.

Happy Anniversary Maria Mitchell
When you think of Nantucket, perhaps beautiful beaches, cobblestone streets and rose covered cottages come to mind, but this small island is also home to one of the most pioneering women in the history of science. This year celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Maria Mitchell [pronounced "mə-RYE-ə"], America's first female astronomer and to commemorate the occasion, the Nantucket Historical Association has collaborated with the Maria Mitchell Association on an exhibition at the Whaling Museum, below.…

The Story Behind the Style: Oscar de la Renta for Lee Jofa

For my own home, I may have a vague vision in my head, but as I am not a designer, it frequently takes me a while to find exactly what I want.…

Paul Keckley, executive director at the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, recently underwent knee surgery and things have not gone so well on the treatment and payment sides.
He's been reminded that there's nothing like using the health care system to see its strengths and weaknesses. In Deloitte's latest weekly "Health Care Reform Memo," Keckley lays out his experiences over the first month following surgery and promises follow-ups, which Health Data Management also will publish:
It's been 34 days since my knee surgery and subsequent clotting complication. I've used two hospitals in two states, three labs to draw blood to monitor my coagulation, and countless hours online trying to figure out my propensity for further complications that might lie ahead.
To date, I have received bills totaling $12,712 from the surgeons, anesthesiologists, and hospital #1 for the initial procedure December 20; none from the series of events that started December 29, when I collapsed. And in the process, I've incurred out-of-pocket costs to date of $1,502, with more to come I'm sure.
There's nothing like using "the system" to see its notable achievements and unfortunate shortcomings. My circumstance is relatively minor compared to others facing vexing health problems or caring for others. I am lucky to be able to afford my health care and fortunate to have relatively good health. So each of us starts from a different place, deeply personal, in assessing the system of care. My current medical journey reminds me that we are far from operating a system of care. I wonder:
* My medical records should have been shared between the hospital #1 and hospital #2 and by the care teams. They weren't.
* My Warfarin directive from hospital #2 should have been informed by a thorough understanding of my medical history and query about my use of over-the counter remedies, nutrients, and vitamins. It wasn't.
* My care teams should have been consistent in their directives: the PharmD and emergency room docs offered strikingly different assessments, and the hand-off by attending nurses was handled poorly in my eight hour extended stay in the hospital #2's emergency room.
And the costs associated with my care in all these settings should be more understandable. They're not. The endless flow of statements, bills, and explanation of benefits (EOB) I am now receiving is confusing, and it appears they will dribble in over the next month or longer. I ponder:
* Why is it virtually impossible to understand an "explanation of benefit", especially when the math doesn't compute?
* Why are my out-of-pocket costs for medications more than my out-of-pocket for hospitals and physicians?
* Why was a relatively minor surgical procedure so expensive? It took only minutes.
* And why, 34 days after the events unfolded, am I lacking some bills from hospital #1 and am in receipt of none from hospital #2? I know 99 percent of claims to third parties are filed electronically within days. Why is the consumer last to know?
This week, a bipartisan joint conference committee in Congress will take up extension of the payroll tax in tandem with a fix for physician payments (Sustainable Growth Rate [SGR]) and extension of unemployment benefits. And the bigger discussion in DC for weeks to come will be about deficit reduction, economic recovery, and government spending.
It seems clear that health costs contribute to the fiscal problem facing the U.S. For the past three decades, health costs have increased at 2.1 percent above the average annual GDP. In 2010, inflation increased. Combining Medicare, the federal portion spent for Medicaid, military health, and coverage for federal employees, health spending at the federal level is almost 25 percent of all spending. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index, released last week, hospital prices increased 5.8 percent in 2011 vs. a 7.6 percent increase in 2010; physician increases were 2.7 percent after increasing 3.4percent the prior year. In the same period, the overall inflation rate increased 3.16 percent in 2011 vs. 1.64 percent in 2010, and the consumer price index increased 3.0 percent in 2011 vs. 1.5 percent in 2010.
Most people like me simply meander through stacks of bills, statements, and EOBs and then give up. I am fortunate to be among the 84 percent with some form of insurance coverage, and I have studied the system for 40 years. But my medical excursion these days reminds me how far we are from a "system" where appropriate evidence-based care is readily accessible and verifiable, redundant paperwork aggressively reduced, costs and their relationship to prices is easily obtained and comprehendible, and essential medical information is shared among providers to optimize care and avoid error.
"Systemness" is achievable but lacking. Amazing we can put humans on the moon, but we can't explain medical costs or share medical information effectively in an industry that represents 18 percent of our overall GDP employing 16 million and consuming 19.8 percent of U.S. household discretionary spending.
We have a long way to go to improve the U.S. system. And cost reduction seems to be an obvious priority if it is to be accessible to our children and grandchildren.
I am keeping a diary about my experience: one set of notes about the quality of medical care and the other about costs. Hopefully, weeks from now, I can close the chapter on the experience, and my data will show a clear relationship between costs and value. Stay tuned.

Product description
Malice. The evil world inside the comic book. The prison no-one ever escapes. Everyone's heard the rumours. Call on Tall Jake and he'll take you to Malice – and you'll never come out again. Seth and Kady think it's all a silly myth. How could it possibly be true? Perhaps the kids in the pages look out with real fear in their eyes – but that's just the artist's skill, isn't it? But when their friend disappears, suddenly the rumours don't seem so silly after all… Part novel, part ground-breaking comic, Malice is a book you can't escape.

April 18, 2017
The Blinn College Board of Trustees approved amendments regarding campus carry to Policy CHF(LOCAL) during its regular meeting Tuesday.
Senate Bill 11, also known as the "campus carry" law, was passed during the 84th Texas Legislature and allows concealed handgun license holders to carry concealed handguns at Texas higher education institutions. The law became effective for four-year public universities in August 2016, and will go into effect at Texas community colleges on August 1, 2017.
While concealed carry will become active on that date, the open carrying of firearms remains illegal at Texas public universities and community colleges.
Senate Bill 11 allows college presidents and CEOs to establish reasonable rules for restricted zones on campus while incorporating feedback from faculty, staff, students, and the community. To assist in this task, Blinn established a 34-member Campus Carry Task Force representing administrators, faculty, staff, and students from the College's four campuses. This task force presented Blinn District President/CEO Dr. Mary Hensley a 245-page report detailing its research and public input, and outlining its recommendations for campus carry guidelines at Blinn College.
"I would like to commend the Campus Carry Task Force for the countless hours of research and discussion that provided the foundation for Blinn's campus carry policies," Hensley said. "The Task Force's efforts have helped to ensure that all Blinn College locations remain a safe environment for students, employees, and campus visitors."
The Task Force designed its recommendations to allow campus carry unless specific extenuating circumstances required exceptions. Whenever possible, Blinn's Task Force recommendations matched the policies established at Texas A&M University to prevent confusion for the significant number of students who co-enroll at both institutions.
Blinn's amended policy prohibits concealed carry on the second floor of the Health Science Center Campus due to the presence of hands-on labs that require physical contact, as well as MRI and x-ray machines that pose a safety risk with the presence of firearms.
The policy also bans concealed carry at UIL-sponsored events and sporting events, where firearms are already banned by Texas Penal Code Subsection 46.035(b)(2).
Concealed carry will be banned during any grievance process, appeal proceeding involving a disinterested third-party committee gathering testimony from the involved parties, or the formal hearing portion of the total process, as detailed in Board policy and administrative regulations.
Signage in accordance with Texas Penal Code 30.06 will be posted clearly identifying locations where concealed carry is prohibited. All such signage will be posted by the Blinn College Police Department.
Blinn's campus carry policy includes no specific firearms ban in:
In the coming months, the Campus Carry Task Force's Communications Subcommittee will partner with the Blinn College Police Department to host a series of presentations describing Blinn's campus carry policy and answering questions. These sessions will play an important role in continuing to familiarize students, employees, and campus visitors with Senate Bill 11 and the College's campus carry policies.For more information regarding campus carry at Blinn College, please visit www.blinn.edu/campus-carry.

Howdy folks; This is my first post here. I'll do an intro in a bit, but I'll get my first question in before I forget what it was.
I just received my first PL400 & it's pretty sad. In fact the Ebay listing was titled " Lavatory Standard" I thought it was a typo, but now I think it was some evil humor!
Anyhow, I did not expect much for $120.00.
The fun bit is that the transformer is labeled 240 volt. I'm having a hard time finding any info on 240 volt models. ( The serial# is: 15724)
I was thinking maybe just choice of taps, but after dropping the faceplate I see one of the filter caps has a large orange 240 volt sticker. It just arrived yesterday & I'd like to know more about what all is different from the 117 volt models before messing with it. I find it odd that it has a U.S. three prong 115v plug. I thought the Euros had completely different layouts on their plugs?
I'll be searching for the correct service manual.
I'd like to do all of the WOPL mods if possible. ( One of the groovy black faceplates will be a must also ) If not. I'll just chuck it in the mudhole.
I'm just an old played out kit builder / tinkerer from waaaay back. Not an engineer or audiophile.
Thanks in advance for any info!

Thanksgiving 2016
By Jessica Daniels On November 23, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News, Our Students
It isn't that I love only the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. I love the lead-up to it, too. From the weekend onward, folks can be seen pulling suitcases along the sidewalk on their way to somewhere. Chatter about the weather gives way to questions about Thanksgiving plans. Newspapers dedicate space to discussion of how to put together a complicated meal, for those who only do so once each year.
Each year before Thanksgiving, I like to pause and thank Admissions Blog readers for giving me a forum to talk about my favorite holiday, as well as more admissions-relevant topics. I never forget that the decision to attend graduate school is one that our students take seriously and make only after much consideration. I'm happy that I can play a small role in helping them with their decision making.
Earlier this week, students set up a little crafts center and invited the community to make a hand turkey with a comment or wish on it. Anyone who was in school in the U.S. for preschool or the early grades will recognize these. Trace your hand and decorate the shape to look like a turkey. Anyway, the turkey messages in the Hall of Flags were very sweet, as was the very idea of creating an activity that would be silly and fun — a quick distraction from all the academic deliverables that students are getting ready to produce in the roughly four weeks that remain of the semester. The turkeys were put together on a "Wall of Gratitude," positioned a short distance from the boxes collecting contributions for the Fletcher Food Drive.
Speaking of deliverables, my task for today is to bake bake bake. My objective is roughly the same as it was a few years back when I took this photo. Add an apple pie and swap out a cranberry pie for cranberry ginger cake, and I think that should do it. We'll have 14 folks (including a recent Fletcher grad) and one baby over for dinner tomorrow. And then 17 on Friday! I won't need to worry about eating leftovers after that.
Wishing all our readers a happy Thanksgiving, with good food and friends or family!
(The Admissions Office will be closed tomorrow and Friday. We'll be back Monday morning, as usual.)

There probably isn't an official measurement of the distance from the Orioles' bullpen and the mound at Camden Yards, but Lee Smith likely would swear it's a mile.
In his first official appearance as the Orioles' closer, Smith came on in the ninth to get the save in yesterday's 6-3 win over the Kansas City Royals in the season opener. But he spent more time getting to the mound than he did on it.
"Man, if I go out there 40 times, I'll get a pretty good workout," Smith said. "I heard Cal [Ripken] has got some pull around here. We've got to get a cart."

Sponsored in part by:
Coppélia is a comic ballet originally choreographed by Arthur Saint-Léon to the music of Léo Delibes.
Coppelia was first performed by SBRI in 1962 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium
Coppelia, a favorite of the founding Marsden family for its spunk, romantic comedy, and Slavic influence.
Coppelia was chosen as the Company's Rhode Island traditional holiday ballet.
SBRI holds true to the art form of classical ballet, preserving culture and tradition in motion. The costumes worn, the props carried, and the scenery hung, many are decades old. The storyline of Coppelia is vintage as well, as it was performed as a ballet for the first time in 1870 in Paris. However, new dancers, costumes, and audience members come with each passing year. These fresh aspects gel well with the existing, as to create third and fourth-generation memories and lovers of the ballet.
