Technical cycling tights for very cold conditions
These high-performance cycling bib tights have been created to provide maximum protection in harsh conditions without compromising the rider's range of movement. Designed to be worn over padded cycling shorts, the legs of the tights feature pre-bent knees for a superior fit, and which will also aid pedal strokes. The body of the tights are made from a heavier weight, fleece-lined fabric which is highly breathable and reinforced in key areas.
The front of the legs have windproof panels and there is a harder wearing fabric at the seat, which is abrasion-resistant, water-repellent and includes reinforced stitching. The chest and rear leg panels use a thinner fabric that works with your base layer and jersey to prevent overheating. Offset seams are positioned to prevent chafing and the bibs are made from a strong, breathable black mesh.
Other styling includes white panels on the lower back and a reflective white stripe down the back of the left leg. The stirrups of the tights provide extra support, use a durable binding and can be folded inside if not required. The left-hand shoulder features a pink tab with Rapha logo and the top of the seat panel has a printed 'WHEELSUCKER' motto to encourage your training partners (or provoke your enemies).
There's a lot of attention to detail, with pre-bent knees and a hard-wearing, water-resistant seat panel. The result is a beautifully cut, comfortable product that's exceptionally warm.

SAA's new aircraft technology set to reduce fuel burn and travel time
Johannesburg, Wednesday, 24 April 2013. South African Airways (SAA) has received authorisation to fly new safety enhancing and fuel saving instrument departure and approach procedures. The approval, which is the first in Africa, paves the way for further developments that could enhance safety and increase operational efficiency throughout SAA's route network.
The benefits of the new procedures, which put SAA on a select list of premier airlines with cutting-edge technology and operational capability, include improvement in safety, decreased operational costs, increased scheduling integrity with direct impact on on-time performance, increased revenue, and reduced environmental impact. The use of the new technology can further decrease travelling time on trips to and from Cape Town, for instance, by 5 – 10 minutes.
Following an approval by the South African Civil Aviation Authority, SAA is now using the new flight procedures in all weather conditions on flights into and out of Cape Town International Airport. The new procedures, known as Required Navigational Performance - Authorisation Required (RNP-AR) procedures which utilize advanced on-board navigation technology and space based GPS signals to achieve the enhancements in safety and efficiency.
The new RNP-AR procedures will provide shorter flight paths allowing a reduction in flight time and fuel burn on each approach and departure track. This will provide an opportunity for immediate benefit with SAA aircraft potentially saving over 600 000kg of fuel per year.
"Once the technology is rolled out onto SAA's regional and international network, the long term benefit is not only a substantial saving in fuel costs but also a significant improvement in flight safety, particularly when flying in areas with limited ground-based navigational infrastructure," said Captain Johnny Woods, Head of Flight Operations and Chief Pilot at SAA.
The new procedures are the result of a partnership between SAA and Quovadis, a subsidiary of Airbus ProSky.
"This milestone signifies South Africa's readiness for a wider Performance Based Navigation deployment in line with recommendations set out by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). We are thus grateful for the great support from Quovadis, Airbus and Boeing and look forward to future implementations and procedure design," said Capt. Woods.

Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS): National Criminal Justice Treatment Program (NCJTP) Survey in the United States, 2002-2008 (ICPSR 27382)
Principal Investigator(s): Taxman, Faye S., George Mason University
The National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices (NCJTP) Survey provides a comprehensive inquiry into the nature of programs and services provided to adult and juvenile offenders involved in the justice system in the United States. Participants included key criminal justice administrators, operations managers, and staff. This survey was conducted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The survey involved a myriad of state, regional, and local organizations employing a mix of their own staff and contracted personnel, and services that might involve multiple levels of government. It was a self-administrated, paper-and-pencil questionnaire. The methodology included a multilevel approach that captured the perspective of executives, front-line administrators, and line staff about current practices in a range of institutional and community correctional settings for adults and juveniles. The goals for this survey were: to describe current drug treatment practices, policies, and delivery systems for offenders on probation or parole supervision, and in jails, prisons, and youth institutions; to examine agency structures, resources, and other organizational factors that may affect service delivery, including mission, leadership, climate, culture, and beliefs about rehabilitation versus punishment; and to assess coordination and integration across criminal justice agencies and between corrections and treatment systems. Items in the survey included: respondent characteristics, organizational characteristics, correctional programs characteristics (e.g., size, nature, etc.), substance abuse treatment programs characteristics, social networks/agencies collaboration, integration of services with other agencies, attitudes toward punishment and rehabilitation (personal values), organizational needs assessment, organizational culture and climate for treatment, cynicism toward change, organizational commitment to treatment, and perspectives on intradepartmental coordination.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: addiction, alcohol abuse, cocaine, controlled drugs, correctional facilities (adults), correctional facilities (juveniles), drug abuse, drug dependence, drug offenders, drug overdose, drug testing, drug use, hallucinogens, heroin, marijuana, steroid use, substance abuse treatment
Smallest Geographic Unit: county
Geographic Coverage: District of Columbia, United States
- 2002--2008
- 2002--2008 (Phase 1)
- 2008--2010 (Phase 2)
Universe: The universe for Part 1 (Survey of Executives Data) includes all executives of state agencies, executives in correctional agencies responsible for programs and services. The universe for Part 2 (Survey of Administrators Data) includes administrators responsible for the facility, office, or program identified in adult prisons, juvenile residential facilities, and community sample. For Part 3 (Survey of Treatment Program Directors Data), the universe includes prison wardens, directors of juvenile facilities, jail wardens and directors (who were sheriffs in some counties), and administrators responsible for local probation and parole offices. The universe for Part 4 (Survey of Correctional, Probation, and Parole Staff Data) Include staff working in prison and community-based agencies and programs that were located in states covered by the Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS). And the universe for Part 5 (Survey of Treatment Staff Data) includes all the treatment staffs working in prisons and community-based agencies, and programs that were located in states covered by the CJ-DATS.
The survey involves a myriad of state, regional, and local organizations employing a mix of their own staff and contracted personnel, and the services may involve multiple levels of government.
Reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) overseeing research at each of the 11 research centers comprising National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) CJ-DATS network.
The sampling frame for S2: Survey of corrections clinical directors and alcohol and drug agency directors data was based on having one central person in each agency that was aware of the programs and services offered. It was determined that at the end the data provided could not be validated because most agencies did not have one central person who knew the agency programs and services. It was determined to use S3 data for the national estimates.
Study Purpose: The objectives of this study were to describe the current drug treatment practices, policies, and delivery systems of offenders on probation or parole supervision, and in jails, prisons, and youth institutions. In addition, it was meant to examine agency structures, resources, and other organizational factors that may affect service delivery, including mission, leadership, climate, culture, and beliefs about rehabilitation versus punishment. Finally, it assesses the coordination and integration across criminal justice agencies and between corrections and treatment systems.
Study Design: The mode of the survey was a self-administered paper-and-pencil questionnaire. This study consisted of a survey delivered to employees within correctional and treatment systems nationally, including agency administrators, wardens, program managers, and counselors and correctional officers. The survey included questions about the organizational structure and resources, the work environment, support for treatment, the value and purpose of substance abuse treatment, and the type and amount of treatment services offered. It was estimated the survey would take about 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Administrators also requested the permission of agency directors that staff who participate should be allowed to complete the survey during regular work hours. Participants were able to access the findings at the CJ-DATS (www.cjdats.org) Web site and by the researchers.
Sample: The sampling for the study consisted of: (1) census of state correctional agency executives and clinical coordinators, and state alcohol and drug abuse directors, (2) adult prison sample, (3) juvenile residential facilities sample, and (4) community sample.
Mode of Data Collection: mail questionnaire, mixed mode
Response Rates: The response rate for Part 1 (Survey of Executives Data) was 70.8 percent. The response rate for Part 2 (Survey of Administrators Data) and Part 3 (Survey of Treatment Program Directors Data) totaled 62.5 percent. The response rate for Part 4 (Survey of Correctional, Probation, and Parole Staff Data) and Part 5 (Survey of Treatment Staff Data) totaled 33.9 percent.
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Standardized missing values.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Restrictions: This data collection may not be used for any purpose other than statistical reporting and analysis. Use of these data to learn the identity of any person or establishment is prohibited. To protect respondent privacy, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) has removed direct identifiers, some sensitive text information and characteristics that might lead to identification of data subjects.

In 1984 I went on my first Cursillo retreat. It was one of those "mountain top" experiences of closeness to Jesus and His Body. It was also a weekend of learning about what it means to be a Christian. Cursillo is short for Cursillos de Cristiandad (A short course in Christianity). Throughout the weekend we hear talks about the three legs that hold up our faith life: Piety, Study, and Action. After the weekend we are encouraged to join small faith-sharing groups to talk about how we are living these three important aspects of our faith and to share our "closest moment to Christ" since we last met.
Over the years I have been in a number of small groups and my favorite part of the time together was sharing our closest moments. I like it because it challenges me to reflect on my walk with Jesus and determine when I felt close to Him, or when I needed Him the most or when I really saw his hand at work. I will admit that sometimes I could not think of an especially close moment, but I learned that was OK. After all, Jesus is always close to me whether or not I feel Him.
In my life I have had a number of significantly close moments to Jesus. The first I remember was when I was 16- years-old. I was on a retreat and was asked a question: "Who are the two most important people in your life?" After some time to think about the question, the retreat master asked: "Was one of those people Jesus?"
That seemingly innocent and rather obvious question rocked my world. I had never thought about Jesus being a "person in my life." He had always been a loving God watching me from a distance. Thinking of Jesus in this personal way really transformed my faith. Another especially close time with Jesus was early on in my marriage when my wife and I experienced six miscarriages in about 30 months. That year-and-a-half was a very tumultuous time. Every emotion imaginable, from joy crashing down to loss, and grief giving way to hope only to be dashed again, was just about unbearable. It was a time of loud questioning. "Why us?" "Where are you God?" "How will we ever get through?" "What now?" Through it all, though it seldom felt this way, God was by our side seeing us through the labyrinth of emotions, sustaining us, and reshaping our lives.
Working in ministry for 25 years has provided countless close moments with Jesus. Every retreat has these special moments when students open their hearts to let in the love of God. Every session of Camp Fort Worth shows how serving the poor, praying, receiving the sacraments, and making new friends transforms people's lives. But encounters with Jesus come in smaller moments too: religious education classes, heartfelt conversations on a whim, and in the frustrating times that come with leading teens and young adults through life.
Encounters with Jesus have always been transforming. In this Easter season, we continue to hear the Apostles post-resurrection moments with Jesus. They bring about doubt, fear, and a cautious hope. As the Easter season continues, we will hear Jesus calling himself a Good Shepherd. These Gospels share how he cares for us and wants to be in a relationship with us to the point that we know his own voice. He also says that he is a vine and we are the branches; if we stay connected we will bear much fruit.
These two images reveal that Jesus wants to have encounters with us, just like he did with the disciples before and after his resurrection. Sure, we probably will not experience him walking through walls and appearing in human form, but that does not mean that we cannot have a real encounter with the risen Christ.
Having a close moment with Jesus does not mean that you are so overcome with emotion that you are reduced to a babbling, weeping mess. Rather it simply means that you are graced with a glimpse of the truth that Jesus is alive and closer than you could ever imagine.

FHFA Foreclosure Report Shows Best Numbers Since 2008
Foreclosure figures released in a report Wednesday from the Federal Housing Finance Agency indicates the housing market is on the road to recovery.
The FHFA's 4th quarter 2012 Foreclosure Prevention Report, also known as the Federal Property Manager's Report, said foreclosure starts at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the 4th quarter fell to 135,000 loans, the lowest level since the 3rd quarter of 2008.
Property dispositions outpaced property acquisitions during the 4th quarter, causing a further decline in Real Estate Owned properties.
According to the report, in the 4th quarter 2012, the GSEs prevented 130,331 foreclosures by approving 97,689 modifications, new repayment plans and principle forbearance plans. The GSEs also completed 28,298 short sales and 4,344 deeds-in-lieu deals.
Forty-six percent of troubled borrowers who received loan modifications in the 4th quarter had their monthly payments reduced by more than 30%. More than one-third of 4th quarter 2012 loan modifications included principal forbearance, the FHFA said.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac completed more than 540,000 foreclosure prevention actions during 2012. This brings the total foreclosure prevention actions to nearly 2.7 million since the start of conservatorship in 2008, including more than 1.3 million permanent loan modifications, the FHFA said.
The number of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac delinquent borrowers declined 14% in 2012 as mortgage delinquencies dropped in every state except New Jersey and New York, the agency said.

Bought the RBZ 3 wood with 15.5 degree loft and took it out to the course to match it against my current 3 wood which is also a slot technology club the Adams Speedline F11 at 15 degrees loft.Off the Tee..RBZ out distanced the Adams by about 5 to 8 yards on average..Off the Deck..RBZ out distanced the Adams by about 2 to 3 yards.As far as feel is concerned both clubs feel like a driver off a tee whether from the fairway or tee.Really nice feeling clubs.Accuracy goes to the RBZ it seems much more forgiving it also seems to be better from the rough as well.Conclusion..I am a person who struggles to play to my 16 handicap so I need accuracy first and foremost.The RBZ is going in my bag for this reason.I did not see the 17 yard gain but the Adams F11 is a superb club for distance so this was probably a factor.The fact is for me this club is NOT a game changer but was still worth getting....Ps..The white color didnt bother me at all and this is my first white club.
Year after year aren't we all like sheep? A new club comes out boasting some new technology and an even higher price tag than the previous model and we convince ourselves that we need a new club to improve our game. Only a few rounds later we find out that our game is the same and that we hit the new club about the same as the one we had before. Hype, hype hype. Everyone is guilty of buying into the hype that golf manufacturers put out there. I mean let's face it, who doesn't love hitting the course with their buddies and pulling out a new stick to show it off? Guilty! I have resisted upgrading my woods for the last few years and I often roll my eyes when I see the catch words, "longer", "straighter", "extreme distance" "explosive", and any other word manufactures throw out. I love my R-9 Supertri TP driver and fairway woods (3 & 5) and I hit them great. Why change? I played in a scramble 2 weeks ago and gps said 265 to the center of the green of a par 5. I said, "I can't get there" after all my R-9 15 degree is a great club but I only hit it about 240. My buddy said, "use my RBZ". I had never hit it in my life but thought, what the heck. I drilled that ball and it ended up right in the center of the green. Some may say, big deal and that's fine, but for me, I have never hit a 265 yard 3 wood before. I was sold and now I own one. It is consistently around 20 yards longer for me. I still cling to my R-9 Driver though, the RBZ driver doesn't seem to have the same effect. But as far as I'm concerned the rocketballz fairway woods are legit. No joke, no hype, no bull.
I purchased the RBZ Driver in late March 2012. I have struggled to hit a driver for almost 4 years now. I gotta tell you ...... this club is amazing. Not only do I now RUSH to the tee box, looking forward to my tee shot, I hit the club with confidence - high and straight. I highly recommend the driver.Just 2 days ago I also purchased the RBZ 3 wood. I've hit it several times (on the course) and quite a few on the range. EVERY shot is straight, true, high, and on target. I had been playing an earlier model TaylorMade 3 wood and must say the RBZ is heavier (head - not shaft etc.). Take a practice swing or two to adjust to the RBZ and I am confident that you'll hit it better than your current 3 wood.Both these clubs are forgiving for the shot that's not hit "dead center". And believe me, for those dead center shots ....... the name RocketBallz is appropriate. The mis-hits ain't bad either.No, I am not an employee of TaylorMade and I receive no compensation from them. I simply LOVE these 2 new clubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not a long hitter - I try for more control than length. I tried the RBZ at my range on a trial night. Six months down the track I decided to bite the bullet, and picked up Driver, 3W, 5W and Hybrids. They have added 20 metres to my game - that would be on the extreme side of most players, but factual for me. They are also easier to hit straighter than my old clubs. So I'm a convert - after years of Nike, I'm over to Taylormade. Longer, straighter - hard to argue with.
Rocket for sure!! Amazing! Definitely bounces off the face and gives amazing accurate shots down the fairway! BAG IT!

Conflicting NCUA Opinions Filed by Both Sides in St. Helens Recall Suit
Seemingly conflicting NCUA opinions regarding the basis of a member's lawsuit against the $161 million St. Helens Community FCU of St. Helen, Ore., are working their way into court, despite the regulator's attempts to stay out of the conflict.
NCUA Public Affairs Specialist John Fairbanks said the agency is not taking any sides on the case, saying, "This is a matter before the court and we will wait to see what the judge decides."
But that hasn't stopped both sides from using the NCUA's words in the case, in which plaintiff Steve Knebel is suing the credit union over the results of a Sept. 4, 2012 special meeting to recall five board members.
Knebel alleges the credit union violated Federal Credit Union Bylaws when it counted absentee ballots in the failed recall attempt.
Knebel sourced a March 29 legal opinion from NCUA General Counsel Mike McKenna in an April 1 reply to the credit union's March 1 motion to dismiss the case. McKenna also addressed the question of whether the case should be heard in state or federal court – one of the credit union's legal defenses – saying that "state law has no role."
Further, McKenna said a member's rights include right to petition for removal of directors and committee members, and that the bylaws "clearly and unambiguously provide that in-person voting is required at a meeting called to consider removal of a director".
Knebel said he interprets McKenna's legal opinion to mean that by counting absentee ballots, St. Helens violated members' rights to a recall election.
St. Helens, represented by attorney Harold B. Scroggins III, countered April 12 by sourcing a Sept. 7, 2012, email from Region V Director Elizabeth Whitehead to Knebel informing him the region had dismissed his Aug. 27 complaint.
Whitehead was responding to Knebel's complaint prior to the meeting reporting the credit union had mailed 15,000-plus absentee ballots to members.
The NCUA "has discretion to take administrative action" when those violations occur, Whitehead said, and when the agency contemplates further action, it considers just two things: safety and soundness, and whether a violation of member rights occurred.
"We reviewed your complaint along with the information provided to us by the credit union. Our investigation of this matter did not reveal there is a material safety and soundness issue nor a threat to the fundamental material rights of the members," Whitehead said.
Knebel said he never received the email, a claim he backed up in court Wednesday when he filed a motion to respond to the document and attached an email from Region V Director of Supervision Kimberly Twieg, who said the email was incorrectly addressed.
Also at issue in the case is the matter of jurisdiction.
Scroggins continues to argue that the federal case belongs in state court.
When the NCUA reincorporated Federal Credit Union Bylaws into its regulations in 2007, it did so to assure the regulator could take administrative action to avoid costly litigation between a credit union and member when appropriate, Scroggins said in the March 1 motion to dismiss. That incorporation of the bylaws into NCUA regulations did not, as Scroggins said Knebel claims, affect a member's ability to enforce the bylaws as a contract under state law.
"NCUA views its involvement in bylaw disputes as an alternative to state court action. It does not usurp members' state court remedies," Scroggins wrote.
Scroggins also sourced McKenna's letter in his April 12 dismissal reply, saying he interprets McKenna's opinion to mean that "state law does not supplant or alter the provisions of the bylaws. It does not address the question of whether federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction over breach of bylaw claims."
The NCUA could have enforced the bylaws, but it declined to do so, Scroggins said. As a result of that decision, the NCUA authority to enforce and interpret federal credit union bylaws is irrelevant.
The owner of two hydroponic gardening supply stores – with a longstanding member business relationship with the credit union – Knebel is part of a group of members seeking more control over the credit union after the board proposed a merger with the $152 million Wauna FCU and fired former CEO Jeff Schwarz.
Although that merger has since been called off, last year the group successfully elected two of its own to the credit union's board, and Knebel said the group will attempt to capture two more seats up for grabs at this year's annual meeting.
St. Helens spokespersons have declined offers to comment on the case, citing a policy to not comment on pending litigation.

Since the App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch debuted, it has been a runaway hit selling millions of apps and spawning an entirely new software industry. However, Apple has developed a reputation over the course of last year as a bit of a dictator when it comes to the app store. Apple was quick to shoot down any applications which it found offensive or which it felt might interfere with its own apps. That meant competitive internet browsers or music players were less than welcome at the store.
When it comes to internet browsers, Apple has announced that it will finally be relenting, but only somewhat. Apple is dropping its "duplication of functionality" clause, and as of yesterday has began to approve several "new" browsers that had been gathering dust the last couple months.
The catch -- and it's a big one -- is that all the browsers it's approving are based on Apple's Safari. For those expecting Firefox, Chrome, or Opera, you are in for a disappointment.
Meet Apple's new browsers: there's the "Edge" browser, which is a plainer looking browser without Safari's chrome, there's the privacy inclined "Incognito", there's the vibration-countering "Shaking Web", and there's an enhanced tab browser "WebMate". The apps are all built, though, on Safari's WebKit and are thus Apple-powered.
While it might seem like the new browsers are akin to Safari extensions, unlike extensions, they're considered fully fledged apps. And that means you can only run one at a time. Really, the new browsers aren't even that new in a sense as the NYT, AP, and USA Today apps all used the Safari WebKit to improve their functionality.
The only difference is that the change opens the door to new products which could, in a respect replace Apple's base product, the Safari browser. While Apple will likely get a slice of the revenue if one of them takes off, it will be a smaller slice, and it will have less control.
With many users reporting the stock Safari to be buggy and glitch-prone, the idea of independent developers being able to improve it, a la Firefox, is a welcome one to many. Additionally, it seems like it will only be a matter of time before Firefox, Opera and others are fully allowed. However, Apple is known to keep its users hoping in vain, so that's by no means a sure bet.

Many companies are betting big on SSDs as the future of data storage. Today, the SSD isn't quite there for the average computer user because of the high price of SSD technology. SSDs are faring a bit better it the enterprise world where the higher cost is offset by performance.
It's no surprise that companies are trying to come into the retail market with lower priced SSDs. OCZ introduced its Core series SSDs this year, which turned out to be priced well for a consumer SSD. OCZ has introduced its latest SSD called the Vertex Series. The line is built using MLC NAND and is aimed directly at the consumer market.
Performance from the Vertex SSD line is claimed to be 200MB/sec read, 160MB/sec write, and the drives have up to 64MB of onboard cache. The new SSDs will not replace existing OCZ SSDs and will be sold alongside existing products the company is already offering.
The drives use a 2.5-inch form factor making them suitable for notebook use. The housing of the drive is made from aluminum and OCZ says the drives have a 1.5 million hour mean time between failure ratings. Storage capacities for the drives include 30GB, 60GB, 120GB, and 250GB. Pricing for the Vertex line is $129, $249, $469, and $869 respectively.
Specifications for the drives show decent power numbers with 2W in operation and .5W in standby. The drive can withstand up to 1500G and supports RAID. Vertex drives in 30GB and 60GB capacities have a 32MB cache while the 120GB and 250GB drives have 64MB of cache.

It was AWESOME , SUBLIME . It surpassed almost anything else I've ever seen and right there with Chan's Tango and Yagudin's Winter! I can't believe I'm falling IN LOVE with a short program yet again! Hope he does well and make the podium tomorrow ... Jeremy!

OME- is this THE sexiest or what?! rawr....ReplyDelete
I wish that were me.....ReplyDelete
Must tear my eyes away from his ass and jaw.ReplyDelete
phewee... gorgeous man!ReplyDelete
I MUST stop looking!ReplyDelete
It's so early in the morning for me to be thinking this naughty! Raaawwrr!!ReplyDelete
Hawtness - and I don't even have to hit 'replay' - awesome! :DReplyDelete
This is definitely a hot scene and I can't stop myself feom wondering about him becoming "a little too passionate" and falling off the bed.ReplyDelete
I'm such an Edwaed purist though that every time I see this I think, "Edward would never have let that happen in Twilight. Eclipse, yes, but not Twilight."
he looks like a way better kisser in this scene than the scene they used in the movie lol. <3 gotta love Rob :)ReplyDelete
and i couldnt agree more.. in eclipse (the hand behind the knee and swinging her across his torso part-- i envisioned that in my head, and it looks pretty similar to this.. lolol) i could get that in eclipse, but TWilgiht, yeah right..
Robsessionn-xo: Haha, I was (re)reading that bit just last night!ReplyDelete
And, although I agree that this scene isn't really Twilight "appropriate" (though I'm not complaining!) at least they didn't do the "you made me faint" shiz!
I was wondering if anyone has seen/made a gif from the extra clip on the Target bonus dvd where Edward actually attacks Bella in the biology lab... I have been waiting for that one to pop up!!! *swoon*ReplyDelete

Yes, Rob has deffinetely got to get a body guard after New Moon. Fans will be rabid after him then.
As for you, Anonymous before myself (May 10, 2009 2:42 AM) that made my day. Utter hilarity of it. But, don't worry, you'll most certainly want to be Eddy in Breaking Dawn. Bella gets pregnant because of him in that one.

Is it normal that I watched that clip for 5 minutes straight with my mouth hanging open wide enough for a bird to fly into?ReplyDelete
omg i can't pull myself away from this. ahhh how i wish that were me. ahahReplyDelete
but i heard that they couldn't use this wide shot in the movie they had to use the close up one cuz this was way to raunchy and ratings. and like i know we could get this in eclipse before twilight. but you guys don't realize... edward was testing himself here. he wasn't sure of himself. and he sorta lost control. which is why later in the scene he says "i can't ever lose control with you." he somewhat lost control here. and even in the book it was worse i think. "i may be a vampire, but i'm still a man." or something along those lines. but my God i love looking at this gif. ahhahh yummy. i wish it was in the movie and not the close up one. aahahh

He looks like a really good & experienced kisser, and I'm sorry if I am breaking the twilight mantra but Kirsten's is hurting my sensual buzz with this clip because she looks so awkward. Her knees are all wrong and she has no sense of where she is on the bed. Dont get me wrong the clip is hottttt.Come on girls you know if it was us we would of let him push us off the bed, or on our back whatever, no hesitation, no awkward moment,...it would of been pant..., ragged breathing... tremble and then a complete collapse on the bed with his body lining hers (mine, yours whomever).

Pittsburgh CU CEO Says It Has No Major Role in Fed Probe of Police Chief
Over the past several days, Karen Janoski, CEO of the $58 million Greater Pittsburgh Police Federal Credit Union , has been flooded with phone calls from anxious members after it was linked to a federal investigation of the big city's police chief.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Feb. 15 that the FBI had subpoenaed the 6,031-member credit union for documents in an FBI-IRS investigation of Police Chief Nate Harper, who has since resigned.
The newspaper, citing a source familiar with the investigation, also reported federal investigators serving subpoenas have taken "boxes of documents" from police offices in relation to a probe of the police department's special events and personnel and finance offices.
The Pittsburgh newspaper said federal investigators are "looking into allegations that funds had been misappropriated internally and are trying to follow the money trail."
"What I can tell you is that we were served with a subpoena," Janoski told Credit Union Times on Friday. "Nothing was seized from the credit union. They didn't take boxes of stuff out of the credit union as the media has been reporting. We received a subpoena. We complied with the subpoena and we are not involved (in the investigation) other than producing the documents that were required from the subpoena."
Janoski said many members have been calling the credit union after seeing video footage on the news of FBI and IRS agents removing boxes of documents. Photos of the credit union's sign also have appeared on local television and newspapers.
However, those boxes of documents were removed from police offices, not the credit union, Janoski said. She said the credit union made copies of documents and gave them to federal investigators, but she could not say how many documents were given to investigators.
"You see pictures in the paper when they raided the police station," she said. "But they didn't walk out of the credit union with (boxes of documents)."
Janoski complained that the media reports are making the credit union look guilty when in fact it is not the focus of the investigation and did nothing wrong.
"We are trying to convey to our members that their money here is safe," she said. "They don't have to move their accounts. They don't have to change the way they do business, and we are not part of this investigation. We didn't do anything wrong."
Janoski posted a statement on the credit union's website and had a letter to the editor printed in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that appeared on the newspaper's website Thursday. She said the credit union is now receiving a lot of positive feedback from members, and that she also has discussed the incident with an NCUA examiner.

GC Appointments
As solar power becomes more prevalent in the United States, solar-based energy companies are beginning to see more legal work on their plate. So it makes sense that First Solar has turned to an energy industry veteran, Paul Kaleta, as the company's newest general counsel. Before First Solar, Kaleta served as GC and chief compliance officer of NV Energy, Inc. He has also served in a variety of roles, including general counsel, of Koch Industries, Inc. "Paul's notable experience in the energy sector is a considerable asset to First Solar," said First Solar CEO Jim Hughes in a press release. "He is a seasoned professional, with more than 20 years of experience as a general counsel, who brings highly relevant, market-specific depth to our leadership team."
It's a promotion to general counsel for Karen Kaiser of the Associated Press, and it comes at a time when the company is facing unique legal pressures. According to an AP release, Kaiser helped lead the company's legal strategy against the Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2013 after the DOJ revealed it had seized records from 20 AP phone lines as part of a leak investigation. Kaiser previously had held the associate general counsel role with AP since 2011, as well as the assistant general counsel role since 2009. Before that, she worked as senior counsel at the Tribune Company. "Karen's expertise and her commitment to freedom of the press have proven how important it is to maintain vigilance so that the public right-to-know is protected," said Associated Press CEO Gary Pruitt. "As general counsel, she will continue those efforts while also putting her experience to work for AP in other critical areas."
It's a move in house for Richard Silfen, as the current Duane Morris partner is becoming general counsel for American Realty Capital Properties, the real estate investment trust started by Nicholas S. Schorsch. According to the Philadelphia Business Journal, Silfen held ARCP as a client with Duane Morris, helping represent the company through a $3.2 billion "reverse" merger to acquire American Realty Capital Trust III, followed by a $3.1 billion deal to acquire American Realty Capital Trust IV. Silfen's main work in the corporate world came through a stint as president and chief financial officer of Cangen Biotechnologies from 2004 to 2007. He also has worked in the law firms of Fox Rothschild, Wolf Block and Morgan Lewis & Bockius.
Shipping company Matson Inc. is ready to set sail with a new leader of its legal division, and it's Peter Heilmann who has been tapped as captain. Heilmann first joined Matson in 2012 as vice president and deputy general counsel, serving under the now-retired Peter O'Rourke. During that time, Heilmann helped Matson transition to becoming a publicly-traded company, with a press release stating that he handled all aspects of SEC and NYSE responsibilities for Matson. Before Matson, Heilmann worked in private practice, including 10 years as a partner with Gibson Dunn. "In the past two years, Peter Heilmann has demonstrated his capabilities in managing and directing a number of high profile legal matters. We are pleased to have him on our team," said Matson CEO Matt Cox.
Who has the (generating) capacity to lead the legal team of the Southeast United States' leading energy company, Southern Co.? That task now falls to James Y. Kerr II, who has been named the company's general counsel, chief compliance officer and executive vice president effective on March 8. Kerr comes to Southern Co. from McGuireWoods LLP, where he co-chaired the firm's energy industry team. He also was a member of the North Carolina Utilities Commission for eight years, including serving as president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners from 2007 to 2008. "Jim is an excellent addition to our leadership team, bringing more than 20 years of legal and regulatory experience in the energy sector to Southern Company," said Southern Co. CEO Thomas Fanning. "He is recognized in the industry for the solid counsel he provides."
Moving from one health-related company to another, Thomas G. Seaman continues his work as an industry veteran by taking over the roles of senior vice president, general counsel and chief compliance officer for the nation's largest telehealth provider, Teladoc. Seaman previously worked as GC of Best Doctors, Inc., a medical information services and health insurance company in Boston. He also has served as GC of San Francisco-based BenefitPoint Corp. "His experience and knowledge of the health care field, technology and corporate transactions will benefit Teladoc as we grow and evolve to face new market expansion and growth," said Teladoc CEO Jason Gorevic.
Aptean's software goal is to give small businesses an edge, but if it's the company's legal department that is in trouble, it's Monique Cormier that they will now be turning to. According to Foster's Daily Democrat, Cormier has joined Atlanta-based Aptean as vice president and general counsel. She has worked in-house in the technology sector before, most recently service as associate general counsel for the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA), a non-profit organization representing 800 mobile operators worldwide. She also has served as GC of software application and hosting services company NaviSite.
Between Target, Neiman Marcus, and possibly other companies getting hit with data breaches, Internet security is top-of-mind for many in-house counsel. However, the legal ramifications of Internet security is not a new topic to Harvey Anderson, who takes his expertise in the technology arena to online security company AVG as chief legal officer. Anderson comes to AVG from Firefox browser creators Mozilla, where he worked as senior vice president, business and legal affairs. Over the course of his career, Anderson has also worked for Seven Networks, Flywheel Communications, Medscape and Netscape. "He brings a wealth of legal and policy experience in the public and private arenas as well as a strong technical understanding of products and engineering," said Gary Kovacs, AVG Technologies CEO. "This gives him a unique foundation to help lead AVG into the next stage of our growth."
Other In-House Moves
For Noah Hanft, who will retire as MasterCard's GC effective April 1, the next move will be into the non-profit arena to help businesses and lawyers resolve disputes more efficiently. Hanft has been named the new President and CEO of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR), taking over from the retiring Kathleen A. Bryan. Hanft had worked with MasterCard since 1984 and had served as the company's general counsel since 2001. "The global implications of increasingly burdensome litigation are undeniable," said Hanft in a press release. "I passionately believe in the mission of CPR to drive alternatives to costly litigation and am honored to have been chosen to lead CPR, the preeminent organization in the field."

Unconcerned that marketing a new fragrance line will compete with her Heat collection, Beyoncé has launched a new, limited-edition perfume to celebrate her Mrs. Carter Show world tour.
The fragrance is reportedly "sweet and powerful," mixing a blend of mangosteen, pink pepper and acai with a foundation of florals, vanilla and Australian sandalwood.
"I love my music, I love performing and most of all I love and appreciate my fans," said the singer in a press release about the perfume. "I wanted to give them a special remembrance of this tour and I created this scent to reflect the power, passion and playfulness I put into my performances."
The rest of Beyonce's perfume line includes the original Heat, Heat Rush, and Midnight Heat. The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour fragrance has been plugged with the line, "Introducing a new kind of fire," spinning off the Heat theme.
"When [women wearing this scent] walk into a room, I want them to feel like they can leave a lasting impression on everyone they walk past," Beyoncé said.
The North American part of Beyoncé's Mrs. Carter World Tour launches June 28 in Los Angeles and runs through on August 3 in Brooklyn.

If you are a LuLaRoe snob or new to the brand you are going to appreciate what I am about to share. Better yet if you are looking for LuLaRoe Clothing in Elgin IL, I am going to walk you through my first purchase and where to buy it now.
For those newbies, it's pretty simple, LuLaRoe is a clothing company and the new craze! They're a company that doesn't have stores! All LuLaRoe clothing is purchased through consultants online through social media outlets, or through in home pop-up boutiques. LuLaRoe offer dresses, skirts, tops, and leggings in a variety of styles. The thing that sets LuLaRoe apart is the variety and the scarcity of each print created! Each print is made into 5,000 garments. Not many if you think about it. The sizes that LuLaRoe produces are (00-24). Once these works art of are created the pieces are split up and sent out to thousands of consultants!
You are thinking, "I have a local consultant so I will just buy from them." Think again, hearing first hand from my friends in Elgin IL, they can't find the LuLaRoe Clothing that fits their taste so most go shopping online. That's the beauty of this company. You can join multiple LuLaRoe consultants Facebook pages and find all the inventory you want with one click of the mouse. To add to that, just because you may have a local consultant doesn't mean they will all have the same pieces and prints that LuLaRoe puts out. Once you join a consultant's page, the standard for shopping is to look for the albums when they are posted to Facebook or watch for live sales. When you see something you want, comment "SOLD." It's really, really easy.
To be frank, each LuLaRoe consultant will NOT have the same inventory so it would be beneficial to join as many LuLaRoe consultants' pages as you can. You will find some consultants are better suited for your shopping needs. Some consultants are more entertaining and some are just downright boring and then some are over the top annoying. I am the type that needs to be entertained truthfully so all those consultants pages I joined that don't post anything, I left them in a hurry. I bought my first piece of LuLaRoe HERE, which is a friend of a friend. She keeps giving me enough for me to stay but not too much to annoy me. If you are new to LuLaRoe or want another consultant to shop, I will post her link at the end of this article. When it comes to fashion I am super picky but I am also a member of about 35 consultant's pages so I am a veteran at this so trust me when I say you will find that perfect medium for your needs.
Enough babbling. To shop for your first piece of LuLaRoe or to add to your collection shop HERE or any other seller you may choose. I am just recommending a competent person I have used before.
Good luck and don't blame me when you get addicted too!

the E3 Expo nears, video game-related rumors are
flying, and it looks as if a considerable price drop may be planned for a
certain Xbox 360 bundle.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, is an annual trade show for the video
game and computer game industry where video game developers show
off new software and hardware. The event is presented by the Entertainment Software
Association (ESA), and will run from June 7 - 9 this year.
On the E3 2011 website, an advertisement link features a Target Lounge ad,
which shows a Xbox 360 250GB console with Kinect bundle for $299.99. Yet, when
you click on the ad, it shows that the price for the bundle on Target's website
is still $399.99.
This could either be a legitimate upcoming price drop, or a mistake on the
website, but many believe a price drop was scheduled for E3 anyway.
This possible price drop has led to other rumors on forums like Cheap Ass Gamer,
saying that the 4GB Xbox 360 could be phased out with a standalone price drop
to $100-$150 while the 250GB standalone could likely drop to $200.
Other rumors include Microsoft releasing a white Xbox 360 bundle, or a newer
version of Kinect, which would justify
the 250GB/Kinect bundle price drop. In other words, "out with the old, in
with the new."
Other recent Xbox 360 deals include Microsoft's newest back-to-school deal,
which gives
students a free 4GB Xbox 360 console with the purchase of a $699
or higher Windows 7 computer.

Financial Finesse held a webinar on Friday previewing data that it will release later this week in a report on the gender gap in financial literacy.
"Over the last several years, the gap has been steadily increasing" although it's beginning to level off, Diane Winland, the report's primary author, said in the webinar.
"Women need to get ahead of men" in order to overcome barriers like longer lifespans and less time in the work force, Winland said. Women can live between five and 10 years longer than men, she said, and tend to make less over time. The National Commission on Pay Equity found women make about $11,000 less than men per year.
The gap is largest in debt and money management, Winland said. That's surprising because women are frequently the money managers in their families, Winland said, referring to a Boston Consulting Group study that found in 73% of households, spending is controlled by women.
Financial Finesse found the smallest gap in long-term planning, and no gap in participation in employer-sponsored retirement plans. That parity in participation doesn't translate to actual savings, though. Winland referred to data from the Employee Benefits Research Institute that found men have saved on average $114,000 in workplace retirement plans, compared with $56,000 for women.
"We need to do a better job of putting emphasis on women taking control of their finances," Winland said in the webinar. Winland stressed that improving women's financial habits isn't the only goal; women need to have more confidence in their abilities and actions in order to see improvement.
Linda Robertson, a senior financial planner at Financial Finesse, pointed out that the gender gap narrowed with higher levels of income, especially between men and women in the $150,000-to-$200,000 income range. The reason why is a subject of further study, she said.
Winland referred to a study by Allianz that showed women have a "pervasive fear of being a bag lady. No matter what position we achieve, we still have that underlying fear."
In some areas, Financial Finesse found, women are improving while men are actually pulling back. Women improved at fee analysis, rebalancing and allocating assets. "Women are better at following a plan," Winland said, "while men tend to be more aggressive."
The report found men are more likely to have an emergency cash fund, pay bills on time and manage their cash flow so they're not spending more than they make. "In order to save for long-term [goals], we need to close the gap in money management," Robertson said.
Men are also more likely to know whether they are on track for retirement, although less than a quarter of male respondents could answer positively. "The younger men and women are when they run estimates, the smaller steps they need to take to get on track," Robertson added.
To design effective financial educational programs, Financial Finesse suggested using a holistic approach that ties together all the benefits an employer offers. They should also work to create "ah-ha" moments that women can relate to.
Another best practice is to "fold the financial piece into the wellness program so employees can see the connection between physical health and financial health," Winland said.
Winland added that women respond well to coaching programs with multiple steps, like an online assessment followed by group workshops and a one-on-one coaching session or call.
"To close the gap, we have to make sure women are taking positive action," Robertson concluded. She suggested making women active participants in their financial education and giving them concrete steps to take following educational sessions.

Johannesburg, 09 June 2013. South African Airways (SAA) has become one of the first airlines in Africa and one of six in the world to achieve IATA (International Air Transport Association) Environmental Assessment Stage 1 status.
The achievement comes after IATA embarked on the IATA Environmental Assessment (IEnvA), a two-year initiative to develop and establish an environmental standard and environmental management system for over 240 IATA member airlines. The aim of the two-year initiative is to create a minimum and recommended standard for airlines in areas such as general recycling, on-board recycling, efficient flight and airport operations, limiting and reducing carbon emissions, general energy efficiency as well as environmentally conscious procurement procedures.
"We are very proud of being one of six global airlines to achieve IEnVA Stage 1 status. As part of SAA's Group Environment Strategy and in SAA's continuous effort to become one of the world's greenest airlines, our customers can fly SAA assured that we are taking great steps to establish ourselves as a market leader when it comes to environmentally friendly operations, efficient aircraft, green buildings and environmentally conscious employees," said SAA spokesperson, Mr. Tlali Tlali.
SAA was one of six airlines invited by IATA to participate in this programme. Paul Steele of IEnVA elaborated: "I am delighted to announce that SAA has satisfied the independent assessors and passed the IATA Environmental Assessment Stage 1. IEnvA is the first environmental management system applied to the aviation sector and enables an airline to improve its environmental management and follow best environmental practice. This makes SAA airline one of the world's leading carriers in the areas of environmental responsibility and sustainability."
SAA's environmental goals include the following:
• complying with applicable regulations and other requirements;
• striving for the most efficient operations;
• working towards reducing carbon footprint;
• working towards minimising and preventing pollution;
• minimising waste and implementing recycling initiatives at SAA facilities and on-board aircraft;
• integrating environmental concerns with all SAA's planning and decision making processes, by implementing effective environmental management systems;
• operating using the most energy and water efficient practices;
• encouraging improvement in the environmental performance of SAA's suppliers through the development of environmental criteria within the framework of SAA's procurement policies;
• increasing environmental awareness among employees by proactively communicating and promoting environmental issues and best practices that impact on SAA;
• working toward and finding new and innovative ways in which to improve SAA's Environmental Programme; and
• working towards industry goals which are:
o a cap on aviation CO₂ emissions from 2020 (carbon neutral growth);
o an average improvement in fuel efficiency of 1.5% per year from 2009 to 2020.

Detroit Area Study, 1954: Ideal Family Size in Detroit and Administrative Behavior in a Metropolitan Community (ICPSR 7318)
Principal Investigator(s): Freedman, Ronald; Janowitz, Morris
This study of adults aged 21 and older in the Detroit metropolitan area provides information on their contact with and attitudes toward government administrative agencies, their views regarding civic duties, and their organizational memberships in 1954. The study was a combination of two separate studies: IDEAL FAMILY SIZE IN DETROIT by Ronald Freedman, and ADMINISTRATIVE BEHAVIOR IN A METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY by Morris Janowitz. Respondents were asked about their contact with and knowledge of various agencies, including the Michigan Employment Security Commission and the Social Security Department. They were asked to evaluate the performance of the public schools, the County Sheriff's Department, state and local police, and local, county, and state government officials. Several questions were asked to determine the respondents' attitudes toward government employment and employees, specifically the prestige of various jobs in the public sector compared with comparable jobs in the private sector, and their preference for working for the United States government or a private firm. Other questions probed respondents' living experiences before coming to Detroit, their feelings about living in Detroit, and their views about collectivist versus individualist ideology, a national health insurance plan, military draft, taxes, changes in the Social Security system, the role of political influence in enabling private citizens to get help from government agencies, and the ideal family size. Also explored were respondents' understanding of the meaning of "red tape" and how much of it they thought was necessary, and their views on the extent of government's role in solving problems such as unemployment, education, and housing. Respondents were also asked about their political activities, political party preference, and electoral and voting participation. They were asked to identify the mass media on which they relied most for political information, the organizations they belonged to, and if they had a television set. Demographic variables specify age, sex, education, place of birth, marital status, number of children, nationality, religious preferences, occupation, family income, length of residence in the Detroit area, home ownership, length of time at present residence, and class identification.
