Fugitive killer
ONE of Scotland Yard's most wanted men is a brutal East European crime boss believed to have been hiding in Britain for more than a decade.
Sadushi is the number one fugitive on our list of 100 wanted persons who we believe are living in Britain
Gangster Ndricim Sadushi, 41, has used at least six aliases during his time on the run since fleeing Albania.
He faces life imprisonment there for a string of brutal crimes – including three murders.
The UK Border Agency has no record of Sadushi claiming asylum and believe he entered Britain illegally in the back of a truck in 2000.
He has remained undetected ever since and there are fears he may be one of a number of dangerous Albanian fugitives involved in serious crime in Britain.
The only evidence detectives have of his identity is a grainy photograph released by Interpol.
Sadushi led the notorious Kateshi gang which terrorised victims in Albania in the late 1990s. He is the last of the gang leaders to avoid arrest and was recently named one of Scotland Yard's most wanted foreign fugitives on a list of 14 killers, robbers and rapists.
Detectives have learned he has been hiding in London and Merseyside but efforts to track him down have proved fruitless.
Pellumb Seferi, head of Interpol in Albania, said: "Sadushi is the number one fugitive on our list of 100 wanted persons who we believe are living in Britain.
"He headed up an armed gang which committed violent crimes in Albania."
Det Supt Murray Duffin, head of Scotland Yard's extradition unit, said: "We are dedicating all available resources to assist with his arrest."
The ease with which Sadushi and other foreign criminals have got into Britain has raised major questions about our border controls.
Criminals captured on European Arrest Warrants rose from 1,131 in 2009/10 to 1,504 in 2010/11.
The number of extradition requests received by police has also risen tenfold to more than 4,300 since East European countries such as Poland were allowed to join the EU in 2004.

My family and I went to Florida for my Grandma's 80th birthday. Carol, my step-mom arranged a suprise birthday party for her. She looked very, very suprised when she saw everybody from Wisconsin and Iowa there in Florida for her b-day.
We also went to Disney World. It was pretty fun too. It has a lot more rides than the last time I was there. The wether there was pretty decent except for a few days. It was typically around 70, but a few days it only got up to around 40. I had a great time though. Thanks again Dad and Carol for the vacation!!!

Yoga is a science of body and mind which comprises a wide range of practices. It has its origins in India although it has been very much accepted and applied in the West. It is a thoroughly practical system which can profoundly help people in both everyday living and in exploring the deeper aspects of life.
In the present era there is an almost obsessive tendency for human endeavour to be completely concerned with outside activities. Everything in society, from advertising to television, is orientated towards outside aspiration and achievement. Our education system only commends and aims for outer success in work or business. Moreover, any tendency to introspect is regarded as abnormal.
The result is imbalance in our lives. We have no idea what is going on inside us, how our minds function and where we are going on our life's journey. Modern life tends to create intellectual giants but emotional pygmies - instead of wisdom we encourage only factual knowledge. This is one of the main reasons why there is so much mental turmoil and dissatisfaction. Yoga helps to rectify this imbalance, so that, whilst continuing our daily life and duties, we also delve into ourselves and start to understand how we function and who we are.
In the West it is often solely the physical postures (asanas) that are taught in yoga classes, promoting health and physical well being and counteracting the stresses of life. This is certainly a valid aspect of yoga but there is also much to be gained from other practices. These can awaken in people true wisdom, joy and compassion.
If we look a little more deeply at yoga practices and aims, we discover a truly wonderful system for inner exploration and personal evolution. The word yoga means 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. Using the principles it has to offer, an individual can begin to balance all aspects of his or her Being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - all necessary ingredients for living a truly enriched, fulfilling and harmonious life.

In the story "The Headstrong Historian", years after her husband died, Nwamgba still enjoyed memories of her husband, Obierika. When Nwamgba insisted Obierika was the man she would marry her parents weren't happy because he was an only child and his father was an only child. Her father decided to let her marry Obierika because he came from a good family.
When Nwamgba met Obierika's cousins Okafo and Okoye she hated them at first sight. She sensed their envy of Obierika. As Obierika got richer they envied him more and more. They didn't work but came to Obierika for food. They suggested to Obierika that he marry another woman after Nwamgba had several miscarriages. Obierika said he would not marry another woman until they were older so they would have someone to take care of them. Nwamgba decided to...

STScI Astrobiology Lecture Series
Habitable Zones and the Frequency of Potential Habitable Planets in Extrasolar Planetary Systems
|Presented by: Ravi Kumar Kopparapu (Department of Geosciences, Penn State University)
|Category: Science Colloquia Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes Broadcast date: May 03, 2013
Identifying terrestrial planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of other stars is one of the primary goals of ongoing exoplanet surveys and proposed space-based flagship missions. In this talk, I will discuss about our recent results on new estimates of HZs around Main-sequence stars. According to our new model, the inner and outer HZ limits for our Solar System are at 0.99 AU and 1.67 AU, respectively, suggesting that the present Earth lies near the inner edge. Our model does not include the radiative effects of clouds; thus, the actual HZ boundaries may be broader than our estimates. Applying the new HZ limits to cool, low mass stars (M-dwarfs) in NASA's "Kepler" data, we find that potentially habitable planets around M-dwarfs are more common than previously reported. The mean distance to the nearest habitable planet may be as close as 7 light years from us.

U.S. Rates of Autism, ADHD Continue to Rise: Report
Study finds 1 in 6 kids now have a developmental disability, perhaps due to better diagnosis
MONDAY, May 23 (HealthDay News) -- One in six U.S. children now has a developmental disability such as autism, learning disorders or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to new research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That number appears to be on the rise. In 1997-1999, about 12.8 percent of kids were diagnosed with a developmental disability. That number rose to 15 percent in 2006-2008 -- or an additional 1.8 million U.S. children.
Much of the bump up in cases seems driven by rising rates of autism and ADHD, experts say.
"The most important message here is raising awareness of the importance of this as a health problem and one we need to address," said lead study author Coleen Boyle, director of the U.S. National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. "Children are our future, and many of these children can grow up to be very productive citizens, so we need to invest in programs to help facilitate their development."
Researchers used data from the 1997-2008 National Health Interview Surveys, an annual, nationally representative survey of U.S. households. The surveys asked parents of children aged 3 to 17 if their children had been diagnosed with ADHD, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, autism, seizures, stuttering or stammering, moderate to profound hearing loss, blindness, learning disorders and/or other developmental delays.
Nearly 10 million U.S. children had been diagnosed with one of those conditions in 2006-2008, according to parental reports.
Much of the increase is being driven by ADHD and autism diagnoses, Boyle said. About 7.6 percent of children were diagnosed with ADHD in 2006-2008, up from 5.7 percent in 1997-1999. About 0.74 percent of kids had received in autism diagnosis in 2006-2008, up from 0.19 percent in 1997-1999.
The number of children slotted under "other developmental delays," a catch-all category, also rose from 3.4 percent to 4.24 percent.
The study is published online May 23 and in the June print issue of Pediatrics.
So, are the number of children with developmental disabilities on the rise, or are parents and doctors getting better at detecting cases? According to Dr. Nancy Murphy, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Council on Children with Disabilities, the increases in these conditions may signify a greater awareness on the part of parents, teachers and health care professionals to identify children with disabilities and get them help.
That could mean that kids that might have been dismissed as simply being "slow" or disobedient in the past may now be getting some extra help to realize their potential, Murphy said.
"It speaks to providers and educators and parents being attentive to when kids are struggling, and that attentiveness is bringing them into systems that can generate diagnoses," Murphy said. "There is a greater willingness to say, 'My kid is struggling -- not because he's a bad kid but he may need a different approach to learning or development or behavior than he or she is getting.'"
One unanswered question is whether greater awareness and efforts to diagnose kids is the only explanation, or if there actually are a greater percentage of kids who are being born with or developing disabilities such as autism and ADHD early in life.
Research has suggested that advanced maternal and paternal age, assisted reproductive technology and greater numbers of premature or late-preterm births, could all be factors in some developmental disabilities, Boyle said. However, those are areas that need much more research, she added.
Improvements in medical technology also means that children born with very serious developmental disabilities, such as neuromuscular or chromosomal disorders, are now surviving conditions that would have killed them in the past. That could also explain some of the uptick in numbers, Murphy said.
In other findings, boys were more likely to have a developmental disability than girls. Hispanic children were the least likely to be diagnosed with a number of disabilities, compared with white and black children.
Children with public insurance, mainly Medicaid, were more likely to have disabilities than those on private insurance plans.
And although rates of autism and ADHD were up, other developmental conditions remained basically steady, including blindness and intellectual disability, while moderate to profound hearing loss showed a significant decline.

Mules are the product of mating a horse with a donkey and are born sterile, so a mule cannot be bred with any type of animal. Breeders who want mules can breed a male donkey and female horse together, while breeders who want hinnies can breed a female donkey with a male horse.
Johns and Mollies are the terms used to describe male and female mules. A male mule should undergo the castration process at the appropriate age to avoid hormonal and behavioral problems. Although mules are born sterile, the males will still have the hormones used for reproduction but be unable to efficiently release those hormones, which can lead to health or behavioral problems in the future.

In a thrilling tale of triumph over adversity, the Japanese probe Hayabusa slammed into Earth's atmosphere last night over Australia. The craft had suffered several crippling malfunctions during its seven-year trip to and from asteroid Itokawa, the kind of misfortune that typically spells doom. Yet the brilliantly colored fireball that lit up last night's sky signaled a successful end to the mission.
There were actually two reentries. A few hours earlier a small capsule had separated from the main spacecraft; researchers hope that bits of Itokawa are sealed inside. The two were a few miles apart by the time they plunged through the atmosphere, with the capsule in the lead. Minutes later the capsule landed on target in the Woomera Protected Area, a desolate, 50,000-square-mile military test area about 500 miles northwest of Adelaide.The main craft, which wasn't designed to survive, put on quite a show. It started breaking apart at an altitude of about 60 miles (90 km), each fragment seared to incandescence by atmospheric friction. Observers on the ground saw a range of vivid colors in the brilliant breakup, estimated to be magnitude –6. In less than 30 seconds, it was all over.
Best of all, I was there to see it! I'd traveled halfway around the world to work side-by-side with a NASA-led expedition of space researchers tracking the space spectacle. It's rare that a reentry happens at such high velocity (7½ miles per second versus the customary 5), so scientifically it was a big deal.
My six-person team was rare too. It included high-school students James Breitmeyer and Yiannis Karavas, both 17, and Brigitte Berman, 16. They attend the Dexter and Southfield Schools in Brookline, Massachusetts, where I teach part time. Over the past few months, Ronald Dantowitz and Marek Kozubal from the schools' Clay Center Observatory helped these kids build tracking platforms crammed with high-end imaging cameras; ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light spectrographs; and an IMAX-quality high-definition video system for recording the reentry.
Most of this high-tech gear was aboard NASA's DC-8 research aircraft in Palmdale, California, alongside other instruments brought by researchers from Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and several U.S. institutions. This airborne campaign had been orchestrated by Peter Jenniskens, a meteor specialist at the SETI Institute in California.
The plane then headed to Australia, and during Hayabusa's hypervelocity homecoming it followed a racetrack-shaped loop at an altitude of 41,000 feet near the landing zone. Breitmeyer, Berman, Dantowitz, and Kozubal carefully recorded the brightnesses and spectra of the sample capsule and pieces of the disintegrating main spacecraft as they plunged Earthward. In fact, the image shown above is from one of their cameras.Meanwhile, Karavas and I were recording the brief but dramatic passage at ground level, from the mining town of Coober Pedy. Our images and spectra will be useful in calculating the exact trajectory of the incoming spacecraft. We gathered 12 gigabytes of data in under 3 minutes.
I'd seen the southern sky before — but never like this. The weather worries we'd had in the days beforehand evaporated when a cold front pushed through and delivered an impossibly transparent sky. The Milky Way stretched from horizon to horizon, with the starclouds of Sagittarius and Scorpius overhead, the Southern Cross and Coal Sack instantly recognizable, and the Magellanic Clouds hugging the horizon.
Now that the adrenaline rush from Hayabusa has come and gone, I'm hoping these vistas will still be in view later this evening, when I can set up my 80-mm f/5 refractor and do some much-anticipated stargazing.

So, all my projects start with, "BABE!!!!! Do you want…" (fill in the blank)..." So this time, "BABE!!! Do you want a coat rack?!" She said yes, haha. So the top is 1 3/4", and I made all the outside facing edges the same. The back panel is floating, and it's all cedar! I finished it with double boiled linseed oil – oh, by the way…freakin' love the linseed oil. It really makes the natural color of the wood pop, as well as the grain! I loved all the knots, so I tried to make them a feature here. It's just too bad the you can't see that one side, since it's almost tight against the wall. I also added two walnut plugs (first time doing that, took me longer than I wanted it too, but I got it done!) – those are the only two screws in the whole thing. Actually, since all the wood was free, the most expensive part was buying the hooks – ALMOST 30 STINKING DOLLARS! What the heck, haha?!? Anyways, loved it…now hopefully I can get that table I've wanted to do for so long, started this weekend.

Pierce led road-inspiring Celtics to ruin Jazz in OT
The fact : The Boston Celtics weren't pretty tired after contesting five games in seven days back.
However, They had enough left to play overtime to conclude a long Western road trip, topping the Utah Jazz 110-107 on Monday contest. They were resourceful and able to play clutch basketball.
Veteran Paul Pierce carried Boston with 26 points, including seven huge straight in the extra session. He was terrific and clutch in extra time with big buckets. "It was huge," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "Whatever that was, it was the best win of the year for me. . To go into overtime and still have enough to win."
Other Veteran of C's , Garnett chipped in four points in overtime on 2-of-2 shooting, with three rebounds. He finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds, a blocked shot and steal. The Celtics also collected a big contribution from young Avery Bradley, who dropped a season-high 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Pierce had a chance to finish work in regulation, but his 19-footer at the buzzer rimmed out.

Overall, the game saw 13 lead changes and was tied 17 times."We were in position," said Jazz forward Marvin Williams. "We fought back in the fourth quarter to force overtime but Boston just made big plays down the stretch." Inspiring Gordon Hayward led Utah with 26 units, Millsap had 16 and Al Jefferson finished with another double 15 points and 11 rebounds.
The Celtics (30-27) were playing their fifth game in seven days, but had energy and abilities to win the game.The Jazz (31-26) led 101-99 in extra time on DeMarre Carroll's 21-jump shoot, but strong-willed Pierce countered with a 3-pointer, then followed with a pull-up jumper over Carroll and a 15-footer to give the Celtics a 106-101 final edge with 1:12 left.
"We knew this was probably going to be the toughest game for us physically and mentally," Pierce said. "Talking about a long road trip, coming in to one of the toughest places to play. We felt we could salvage this trip with a win here. So guys did a good job of just being mentally tough, digging in and doing what we had to do to get the win."
"We wanted to win in regulation," Pierce said. "It would have felt better just to get a stop when we needed it. That's what we need to get better at. We didn't do it in Portland. We didn't do it tonight. That's what we need to start focusing on. When we get the lead and we need crucial stops, we have to figure out how to get them."

Mr. Breyer's distinguished career in industry launched with General Electric, which brought him and his family to Central New York. For 28 years, Mr. Breyer worked for this Fortune 500 company's underseas business division and rose to serve as general manager of its surface ship anti-submarine warfare program and eventually general manager of the entire underseas systems business, which operated at $700M annually. While at GE, Breyer further strengthened his ties to Syracuse University by becoming the company's representative for GE Corporate-sponsored programs on campus. He later joined the Dean's Council for the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (LCS) in 1994.
In 1989, Mr. Breyer joined the senior management of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.—now part of CISCO—serving as Vice-President and, later, President. For nine years, he managed several global divisions that manufactured sonar, microwave, electrical power, and telephone grid instruments. Mr. Breyer has since moved on to serving as President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Microwave Instrumentation (MI) Technologies LLC, which was formed in 1997 by acquiring assets of Scientific-Atlanta's microwave instrumentation business.
Though not an SU graduate, Mr. Breyer has become one of Syracuse University's most loyal trustees of more than 40 years, officially joining the Board in 2001. As a life trustee, Mr. Breyer stated, "I have a passion for educating our young people and feel the University plays a critical role in helping young citizens become contributing members of society and live the American Dream." In collaboration with faculty members, he actively developed a program for minority students in engineering (a forerunner to today's PRIDE program). Notably, in 2009, Mr. Breyer and his wife bestowed a 1.1 million-dollar faculty endowment gift to establish the John E. and Patricia A. Breyer Professorship in Electrical Engineering at LCS, aimed to attract world-class faculty to the school devoted to excellence in engineering research and teaching. Upon this announcement, Mr. Breyer declared, "We feel strongly that all citizens should support education, and we wanted to do something that would make a difference for many years to come." With this faculty chair, his commitment to engineering education and Syracuse University still resonates today.
Mr. Breyer's ties to Syracuse University also extend beyond his longtime passion for education and L.C. Smith College as a SU parent. His daughter, Deborah Knoblock, graduated with a BS and MS from the School of Education in 1988 and 1990. The Breyers are also proud parents of their youngest daughter, Tamara Ellis, a Georgetown University graduate; and devoted grandparents of three granddaughters.
John E. Breyer is an alumnus and life trustee of Syracuse University and also a veteran of the U.S. military. You should know his story.

Comments Sought on Commercial Invoice, Arrival/Departure Record
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is requesting public comments by Jan. 27 on the proposed extension of the following information collections.
Commercial Invoice. The commercial invoice is necessary for conducting adequate examinations of merchandise and determination of the duties due. The information on the commercial invoice is provided to CBP by the importer and is used to ascertain the proper tariff classification and valuation of imported merchandise. To facilitate trade, CBP did not develop a specific form for this information collection, and importers are allowed to use their existing invoices to comply.
Arrival/Departure Record and ESTA. CBP Forms I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) and I-94W (Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure Record) are used to document a traveler's admission into the United States. These forms are filled out by aliens and are used to collect information on citizenship, residency and contact information. The data elements collected on these forms enable DHS to perform its mission related to the screening of alien visitors for potential risks to national security and the determination of admissibility to the United States.
ESTA applies to aliens traveling to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program and requires that VWP travelers provide information electronically to CBP before embarking on travel to the United States. Travelers who are entering under the VWP in the air or sea environment, and who have a travel authorization obtained through ESTA, may forgo completing the paper Form I-94W. CBP now gathers data collected on the paper Form I-94 from existing automated sources in lieu of requiring passengers arriving by air or sea to submit a paper I-94 upon arrival. The paper I-94 is still required from travelers entering the United States at a land border.
CBP is proposing to revise some of the questions on ESTA and Form I-94W in order to make them more easily understandable to respondents and collect more detailed information about health and security issues. CBP is also proposing to remove some questions from ESTA and Form I-94W that are no longer relevant.

My friend M. and I try to spend one afternoon a week in the library. We are nerds in the traditional sense. She does research in the archives and I browse for random books. One day I found a cookbook titled, Woodward's No Time to Plan ME'N'U Book, by Ralph E. Russell and Wayne Baxter, circa 1976. After flipping through it, I walked quickly back to M. to show her an excerpt. She read it, looked at me, and we broke into muffled giggles. I know nerd humour is subjective but here goes:
"A girl walks into a library and sees…"
A good recipe speaks for itself:
Hawaiian Salad:
1. Place a slice of pineapple on a lettuce leaf.
2. Top with a small cup of cottage cheese, a mint leaf and a strawberry or maraschino cherry.
3. Serve with a combination of mayonnaise and French dressing.
But in all seriousness, I really might try this with toast one Sunday morning:
Scrambled Eggs with Chicken Livers:
1. Pre-heat pan and add fresh butter.
Beat 3 eggs in bowl and add to pan. With a wooden spoon, displace eggs.
Take off heat. Swirl vigorously and don't over heat.
2. Pre-heat fat until (smoking) hot in pan.
Add chicken livers. Brown all sides.
3. In a separate pan with butter, add crushed garlic, chopped onion and swirl around.
Add ¼ cup mushrooms.
Add a little sherry and browned chicken livers to mixture.
The following combination is new to me but perhaps not to you?
Waldorf Salad:
¼" diced apples, 2 parts
¼"diced celery, 1 part
¼" chopped walnuts, 1 part
1. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
2. Bind with mayonnaise.
3. Place directly on plate. Garnish with whipped cream and cherry.
Waldorf Salad, named after the original Waldorf Hotel in New York, was created in 1893 by Oscar Tschirky. The original recipe includes grapes and more recent versions substitute yogurt for mayonnaise. Perhaps Americans connect the salad to the luxury hotel in New York, but when I hear "Waldorf," my mind turns to Vancouver's very own Waldorf Hotel at 1489 East Hastings Street. Pink stucco. Bus stop in the front. Parking lot on the side. Cold beer and wine store on the ground floor. If you don't already know, The Waldorf is known as a drinking hole in East Van.
I was curious whether our Waldorf served the salad of their namesake so I checked the online menu of their restaurant, The Grove Pub. Sadly, it is not on the menu. I considered emailing them to add it but decided against it. How can I endorse a salad I've never tasted?
Here is the original recipe from The Cookbook by Oscar Tschirky (1866-1950), published c. 1896 by The Werner Company:
Peel two raw apples and cut them into small pieces, say about half an inch square, also cut some celery the same way, and mix it with the apple. Be very careful not to let any seeds of the apples be mixed with it. The salad must be dressed with a good mayonnaise.
Waldorf Salad in The Cookbook is accessible online.
***Thanks to Curious Domestic for finding the recipe from The Cookbook online.
I found a second noteworthy cookbook that afternoon in the library: Cooking with Mona: The Original Woodward's Cookbook, by Mona Brun, first published in 1977 and revised in 2003.
Mona Burns was a food consultant for Woodward's Food Floors for 28 years. She also hosted the TV cooking shows Culinary Capers and Creative Cooking. Her comprehensive book is divided into 15 sections including: drinks, appetizers, salads, meat, seafood, rice and pasta, vegetables and various kinds of baking.
I read some of the recipes and would say they sound wholesome and filling, but dated. Recipes listing canned or frozen goods as ingredients won't be popular among people concerned with preservatives and additives in their food. But there are many dishes made from scratch too. I might make the cabbage rolls and clam chowder. I'll let you know how it goes.

Great furry boots
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Jacquie from Australia on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Very warm and comfortable, these boots fit really well, and do not flop around on your feet. Make sure you order your correct size because the fur flattens out a lot, like all ugg boots. Im a 7 and they were snug to start and now can be worn with socks. Feel just like uggs at a fraction of the price... Read More

Arrived just in time for the Polar Vortex!!Verified Buyer Reviewed by XoloMom from Nebraska on Sunday, January 24, 2016These are so warm and cozy! I'm already looking at other colors! The height is perfect for big calves as it hits just below the wide part for me. I wish they had better traction, though.
Tight seamsVerified Buyer Reviewed by Liquid Sunshine from Oregon on Saturday, November 1, 2014It looks great, but it is not comfortable as the front seam somewhat "bites" into my ankle. Even my 10 year-old who has very slim legs and wear one size smaller than I do said the same. Too bad. I returned it.
Nice Boot, Nice FitReviewed by Maineack from Maine on Friday, March 28, 2014Have not had a chance to wear these out into snow yet but they fit perfectly my size 9, feel great and have been outside with them but not through snow . I really bought them for use next winter but would use them if this cold winter keeps on releasing more snow and mid winter temperatures.
UndersizedReviewed by Abby Taggart from Ohio on Wednesday, March 26, 2014These are poorly sized. Not only are they about one full size too short, but even when I sent back the first pair for the next larger size, they are still too tight from bottom to top in the toes. Clearly, the company is skimping on material to save money. I will not waste my money on this brand again.

"Are boots new or used
All of the boots that we sell are new.
They are brand new and perfect!
They are new, I tried to post my pictures but it wouldn't work
"How Long Is Shipping?"
Shipping is quick! Perhaps it is because I am located in CO, just south of WY that I receive order within three business days. If I order towards end of week, UPS delivers following week. Most all deliveries are made in a week or less.
Our shipping information can be viewed here: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/lp2/shipping-policy/#usshippingrates/?osid=footer-_-shipping-rates-_-101315
I believe it was atlest 5 days I can't remember exactly because I messed up my billing address and waited a week while it was still pending to fix

This happened about 13 years ago. I knew Jerard (26 year old then) through a friend of mine and as most of our interest were quite the same, we clicked and were very good friends then.
Jerard was bald, but was hairy, very hairy, for an Asian guy. I knew he has very bushy chest hair once we went to the beach with a bunch of friends. He was kind of charming to most females, but he was still searching for his Mrs Right. I never interested or knew how big his penis was or any sort of those things...
We talked about anything and everything under the sky, except the topic of sex, which actually included masturbation.
It was about four months after we met, I went to his place for a sleepover after a disco party. We had some drinks, not much, so we were still sober. As Jerard was still single, he was staying with his parents in another room.
After we took our separate shower, I was lying on the mattress on the floor (only with my thorn on as I did not bring extra clothes or shorts), and Jerard was lying on his bed. It was about 3 am and somehow we were not sleepy and very awake. Hence, we started some small talks and I jokingly told him that I needed a wank before going to bed. Jerard said by all means as he didn't care. I asked him 'Sure?' and he replied something which I never expected. 'Keep your sperm for me. Don't waste!' I was in 'shock' ! I asked him what he meant by that and he quietly got up from his bed, on the light, went to the kitchen and got me a glass and locked the bedroom door. He sat on the side of his bed near to where I lied down and said, 'Cum in this glass. Don't waste it. I ate mine most of the time after I jerked off.'
Still, I didn't quite believe it. I started asking him why and he said he just like the taste of it, and since sperm has lots of protein, and it must be very good for the body. This is some of the really crazy idea I ever heard in my whole life. I asked him how often he had it and he said he usually 3 to 4 times a week and he asked me about how often I did it. I told me I did almost the same as him. By then, I guessed the atmosphere was kind of tensed up with the topic 'sex and masturbation' started...
Jerard also told me that he has not been having sex since he broke off with his girlfriend for two years. The girl went off with another guy just 6 months before their planned wedding. He was very very sad and depressed then, but always enjoyed the sex part with the girlfriend. She loves to suck and lick his nipples, rubbed Jerard's ass and always inserted her two or three fingers when they have sex... I was really getting horny after all the sex talks and already having an erection in my tight underwear. Surely, Jerard saw my hardon and told me 'Really, cum in the glass if you really want jerk off. And I think I need to wank, too.'
Hence, I started to rub my crotch with my left hand, and slowly revealed my 6.5' hard cock by pulling my underwear off. Jerard saw and commented that I have a long and fat cock compared to his. I asked him to show me his and he stood up (he already had a hardon) and removed his shorts (no underwear underneath). I saw that his cock was about 5' long and was quite thin. He grabbed his cock with his right hand and started to wank himself. I only commented his cock 'Nice cock.' and both of us were wanking ourselves slowly, with any more talks...
Then, Jerard lied down on his bed and lifted up his legs openly. He was rubbing his anus with the other hand and started to moan softly. I got up from my mattress, sat on his bed next to him. I saw his eyes were closed as he was enjoying the pleasure he gave to himself. I said to him, 'Let me help you.' and started to play with his nipples. Jerard moaned slightly louder and I can feel his body was shaking a little. I knew I was doing something right to him, and decided to do something more daring. I sucked and licked his nipples for about 3 to 4 minutes while Jerard still rubbing and wanking at the same time. He was really enjoying that !
Slowly, I moved myself up from sucking his nipples to his neck. I removed his anus rubbing hand, and started to rub his ass with my middle finger. This was really making both of us very very horny. I can feel that he held my cock and wanking it, and we actually started kissing, with our tongues almost locked together! We held, wanked, kissed, licked each other, but no one actually sucked the other person's cock. After nearly half an hour, Jerard took out a lubricant gel from a drawer and told me to finger fuck him. I applied some lubricant on my index and middle fingers, rubbed his ass, and slowly inserted them in Jerard's ass. I lied on top of him and we were kissing again. At that point, our hard cocks were rubbing together, our mouths and tongue were interlocked, and my fingers were inside him. It was surely one of the best sex I ever had (even with girls).
Suddenly, Jerard stopped kissing me and cried out softly 'I am cumming, I am cumming....' He shot his juice in between our bodies. I didn't see how far he squirted as we were holding each other... I can only feel the wetness on my cock. I moved away from him, and looking at Jerard now very satisfied and spent expression. He opened his eyes, used his fingers and scooped up some of his juice from both our stomachs and ate them. I just kept quiet and waited for my turn to release my horniness.
Jerard told me to lie down on his bed and I did. He started to fondle my cock and licking my nipples, just like what I did to him earlier on, except no ass-play. In less than 2 minutes, I felt that my 'volcano' was going to erupt. I told him that I was going to cum soon and asked him to wank me harder and faster. He did what he was told and moved his face very close to my cock. When the first rope of cum squirting out from my pee-hole, it landed on my chest. Jerard used his mouth to catch the rest of my cum, by placing his lips on my cock head and swallowed all of them. When I was spent, we washed up and talked about the things just happened. We both agreed that he did not suck my cock at all as he was just catching my sperm with his mouth, and sucking cock is not the thing he will do to a guy.
This was not the only time we had this fun, but was the first time for both of us doing with guys. We were very after that and I always gave Jerard a helping hand by rubbing his ass or finger fuck him. I realised that he can cum that way without touching his cock.
Sadly, there was something unhappy happening and we stop contacting each other. I still miss the sex part with Jerard and think of it always...

The Girls, The Answer
I love the way you have been going through the scenarios and explaining your answers, I am honored with your comments and have found myself almost spilling the beans when replying to you.
Melissa was an excellent band member and did in fact play the clarinet, there were a lot of competitions, performances, awards, and pranks but Shannon was never in the band.
The girls have been roommates for years, they do the things young women do such as enjoy entertainment, drinking, and dining, Melissa is really known to pick up the check before anyone else, and would die of embarrassment if a bill was left on the table, if one was run out on she (like her mother) would drive 100 miles to make it right, so to my knowledge this has never happened.
The Evil Ice Cream Man is in fact the truth, he lives and still roams in the minds of Melissa and Shannon, Tim was used for bait a short time but only until Cindy caught on, so with this said wasn't too costly for the girls, but to this day they still talk about stalking The Evil Ice Cream Man.
Lisa was the first to call this one saying that she could see two curious girls doing this, Abby was next remembering being a teenager and seeing the possibility of using a brother as bait as truthful, Bijoux said that she and her friends concocting evil stories made this one believable.
With that said I have added these three ladies blogs to the True Winners section, Thank you to everyone who commented, your participation is amazing and I appreciate you all.

Maybe I'll make it into the True Winners section next time.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have faith Stephen, it wouldn't surprise me to see everyone of you there.Delete
What fun! Only three winners which makes it even more amazing that it was the ice cream man and girls using your son for bate. Where do kids come up with these things? I can only image your and your wife's reaction when you found out. How long afterward was that?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jean, Cindy actually caught on to this one quickly, which we sat the girls down and talked with them about this man, As you know all the talk fell on deaf ears and the only loser was Tim with the free ice cream ha haDelete
And the little guy wasn't traumatized by the whole thing?ReplyDeleteReplies
Good morning Delores, the only thing that bothered Tim was missing out on the ice cream.Delete
Wow! I'm honored to be a True Wnner! And I think I would have had fun with Melissa and Shannon!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Bijoux, you would have had fun with the girls, we still get a lot of laughs when they are around.Delete
That was a tough one.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good morning Joe, Cindy told me the same thing, she read it and said that had she not known the answer that she would have picked the restaurant.Delete
Just like normal kids - a person never knows what they are truly capable of, Ha. Ha.ReplyDeleteReplies
You said that right Lady, they do keep us guessing ha haDelete
When I read about the Evil Ice Cream Man I immediately pictured Stephen King at his computer writing another book.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh man that does sound like a Stephen King title.Delete
I would never make a detective... but it was a hard one this time.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Valerie, I suppose this just shows truth is stranger than fiction, I bet your detective skills are just fine.Delete
AHA! Thought so! They seem like a couple of fun girls I would've liked to hang out with. That's why I figured they would not have gotten kicked out of band or skipped out on a restaurant bill. But use little Timmy as bait for crime bustin' - you betcha! Very fun, Jimmy!ReplyDeleteReplies
Abby, you sure nailed it didn't you, glad you enjoyed it Lady.Delete
Hum, since I was always the baby, wonder if my brothers ever used me for bait? You did well to steer most of us wrong. Well done.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Patti, I was the big brother so with that said I have a feeling your brothers just may have....it happens ha ha.Delete
Not sure how much steering I did, just had fun with it, Thank you so much.
I knew it! Haha. Thanks for letting me in the winner section!ReplyDelete
I still think Ice cream trucks are creepy.
Hi Lisa, you were the first one to figure it out, glad to have you join in, hopefully the next one wont be too creepy ha haDelete
I wonder if he had a bike in the truck to ride himself...like if he parked the truck overnight someplace near where he lived and he rode the bike between the truck and his apartment.ReplyDeleteReplies
Jean, this man actually had about five kids of his own, I tried telling the girls this only to get the question "where do you think he got all those kids from?" I know we had already had "the talk" with Melissa.Delete
I guess Timmy was the one who got the best of this exercise!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes Inger, Timmy still laughs about that, says that he got to ride around with the girls and got free ice cream too.Delete
I really thought it would be the restaurant one, because I can see that happening in my family.ReplyDeleteReplies
That is what Cindy said too, if she hadn't known the truth she would have picked the restaurant.Delete
Thanks for stopping by, jump in and tell me what you think, or just say Hi, I really appreciate your comments.

The Colombian player Liberman Agamez is going to play in the vice-champions of Iran, reports volleyplanet.gr.
There was an option for Agamez to join his former team Olympiacos but obviously, he got the offer from Iran that couldn't be refused.
The coaching staff of Paykan has needed a player like him so they can try to win the championship title in the next season.
Recall that the Belgian middle blocker Simon van de Voorde has left Trentino and joined Paykan.

NEW YORK: Patagonia, Hollister and Warby Parker are among the brands making effective use of Instagram to engage consumers, according to a leading executive from the social media platform.
Jim Squires, Instagram's director/market operations, discussed how marketers are leveraging its service – both organically and with paid-for ads – during the Advertising Age Digital Conference 2014.
(For more, including how ads from Levi's and Ben & Jerry's performed on Instagram, read Warc's exclusive report: How brands can succeed on Instagram.)
Outdoor apparel and equipment specialist Patagonia was one of several companies he drew attention to, praising it for focusing on a way of life, rather than simply uploading images of products.
"They highlight, through Instagram, the outdoor lifestyle that their products enable. I don't think I've ever seen an actual product shot inside of the photography that they do," said Squires.
"They also have brand ambassadors that are out surfing, and enjoying the outdoor lifestyle, that represent Patagonia."
Hollister, the premium fashion line, has similarly avoided the obvious, and instead encapsulated an aspirational appeal with its visuals.
"They are capturing moments," said Squires. "The way they've captured these moments feels right inside of the Instagram community, and is true to the Hollister brand."
Elsewhere, Warby Parker, the online eyewear retailer, has succeeded by playing into photographic techniques that are already popular on Instagram, such as the "thingsorganisedneatly" hashtag.
This structured form of composition, where related items are arranged in a striking and stylised way, works "really well in the retail setting", according to Squires.
Whether it is GoPro, which makes durable and high-definition cameras frequently used in action sports, or Burberry, the high-end fashion label, authenticity is the key.
"Both of these are, again, communicating through imagery, but it's true to the brand. I've seen brands try to do gimmicky stuff, and it just doesn't work," Squires continued.
"You want to go back to the basics of great brand advertising, and do something that will fit with the community."

Apple may have been in the news for both the new iPhone variants that we saw getting launched. But nothing can take away the limelight that the new Apple Watch deserves. And although the new Apple-made wearable will face a bit of competition from its other Android Wear rivals, its brand name should see it go the distance.
Apple's new Watch wearable has seen the Cupertino-based tech giant making an eventual plunge into the wearable tech industry. And now we are getting to hear that the new Watch will protect both itself and the user's data by self locking itself, provided it fell into the wrong hands.
A recent Cult of Mac report claims that users can let go of any such fears since the Apple Watch will automatically lock itself whenever the user takes off their watch. In fact, the Apple Watch has sensors on its backside that will sense when it's not being worn. After that it locks down the payment options behind a certain passcode as a security measure.
"The answer wasn't addressed at Tuesday's unveiling, but an Apple staffer at the hands-on demo told me how the watch will be protected against fraud." the report stated.
Recommended: Intex Launches Aqua 4X Smartphone With 3G Connectivity at Rs 2,999
"Thanks to sensors on the Apple Watch's back, the device can tell when it's being worn and when it has been taken off. When you first put the watch on, you must enter a code. When the watch is removed from your wrist, the watch locks itself and can't be used for payments unless the code is entered again."
Recommended: HTC's Smartwatch Tipped To Go Official Early Next Year [REPORT]
Now you may ask exactly how difficult it is to bypass any such codes for a professional hacker? Well, if you are into it knee deep, it shouldn't be much of an issue. But there should also be some kind of added layer of security on top of it that should keep the tech protected from prying eyes.

A musical interlude
Welcome to our musical interlude – Cantat.io
Although my musical genius is a well kept secret, it's not a secret that I've been hankering for some software to help organise my practice sessions (on guitar).
There we're two main things I wanted to solve;
1) A central place to keep all my practice exercises, songs, links to songs and associated progress. Up until now, this has been mostly in a big 3 ring binder. Not very tech, or portable.
2) A place to generate practice plans, and a facility to let you follow the plan as specified (e.g 10 mins warm up, now 20 mins scales). Yes, I know I'm not very interesting…
Anyway, I couldn't find any web apps that did just what I needed, so in the end I wrote my own! It's still fairly basic as far as features goes, but I'm already using it to organise my practices, which is great.
It's at Cantat.io, so go have a look if you're musically inclined. No doubt I'll do an iOS client sometime soon…
Introducing Callout – automagically
We're a product company. We develop products, and then we like to develop them some more. But quite often we'll have to take time out to try and keep our customers informed about what's happening. You know the thing;
Perhaps we're releasing a new version of a product, so we might;
- Announce the new product version on Twitter
- Write a new note on the company facebook page about what the new product does
- Send a newsletter out to customers who've signed up for our email list
- Write some html release notes and put them on a server somewhere for auto updating apps
- etc etc etc for as many channels as you can think of.
This is all fairly routine stuff, and none of it's particulary onerous. It's not however, automagical. And it should be, because everything that is automagical pleases me immensly.
Of course, we could use If This Then That for joining up services like this, and that can often work nicely. But really, being a lazy programmer, what I really wanted to do is this.
- Write some description text, with a subject line.
- Have this transformed as needed, and then sent out to whichever channels I specify.
- ???
- Profit!!!
And so we wrote a tool to do that for us.
Introducing Callout
Callout works with templates. In a template you define what outputs you want (e.g Twitter, Facebook) and how you want you message transformed before being sent out.
Example – Product Release
Here is my original subject and text:
Subject : 0.4.5 of fantastic product ABC is released.
Text: 0.4.5 is available. It solves these awful bugs
1) Awful bug 1
2) Awful Bug 2
3) Awful Bug 3
Which might get transformed to
Twitter -> 0.4.5 of fantastic product ABC is released. Download it here (link to binary) and get the release notes here (link to html release notes)
Facebook -> 0.4.5 of fantastic product ABC is released. It solves these awful bugs
1) Awful bug 1
2) Awful Bug 2
3) Awful Bug 3
Download it here (link to binary) and get the release notes here (link to html release notes)
Support / help is available here (help site).
And that's it!
This is all done via predefined templates which allow you to use tags to insert / choose blocks of text. It's pretty simple at the moment, but will evolve as we go along.
Callout lives here. Give it a try if you want some automagical goodness in your development cycle. And did I mention it has a command line api?

How to make an App from a PDF file.
Just put a new video tutorial up, showing how to make an app from a pdf file using yLIP.
Here's how the process works in detail.
- When you import a pdf into yLIP, it gets split up into separate pages. A new scene is created for each page, and the content is added as a new image layer.
- Standard swipe left / right navigations actions are then added to each scene.
- Each imported scene is made zoomable
- A pop up scene is created, with a scene browser on it.
- A double touch action is added to each imported image layer, to show the pop up scene.
- Any links in the pdf are turned into yLIP link actions.
There's nothing to stop you from importing pdfs into apps with other scenes (although you'd need to sort out the navigation a bit), or adding other things to the imported scenes. It's a really useful and flexible tool for anyone wanting to make an app.
I should also note for anyone thinking of making a book like this that the Apple app review process can be picky about this, and they prefer straightforward books to be submitted to ibooks. Although that doesn't seem to be the case for magazines etc.
Create your app here.
yLIP 0.7.5 released
yLIP 0.7.5 is released. Including;
- various bug fixes for Lion (10.7) related issues
- New toolbar for scene manipulation, and adding new layers
- fix for bug where the app would always open a new project screen, even if you clicked on a ylip file to start the app
Visit www.ylipapp.com for more details.
Introducing yLIP
Well, it's finally time to come out from under the covers and tell one and all what I've been up to for a good few many months now.
Introducing yLIP.
yLIP is a drag and drop mobile app builder. It's simple and quick to use, but powerful enough to create some quite sophisticated apps.
Both Alphabet Animals and Magnetic Letters were made using this app, and we've been in closed beta for some time, working with a few different people to produce some cool apps.
It's intended to be easy for non technical people to create apps with. Why should content creators should not have the tools needed to create amazing looking apps easily, without having to employ programmers?
Mac Desktop Application
yLip is a Mac desktop application, which gives you an editor to compose your app with and a simulator to see what it looks like and how it runs.
This is a screen shot of Magnetic Letters in the making, and you can see the basics of the desktop editor at work here.
You can add different screens (scenes) and add different layers to each scene – images, text, video, sounds, hotspots, even animated image sequences. Layers can interact with each other ( you can hide, expand, move layers) and can be dragged around the screen if wished, as in Magnetic Letters.
You can import a pdf document into the editor, and it will create an app from it with a different scene for each page in the pdf, and add zooming, swiping, a pop up scene browser and even allow links in the pdf to open up mobile safari.
There's lots more to yLIP, so please go and have a look if you're interested.
Finally, I'd just like to say how stoked everybody here at Rosebrae Technology is that we're now in open beta. It's been a long, hard road to get there, but I think it's been worth it.
iPhone Apps Finder reviews Clocks
iPhone Apps Finder have a nice review of clocks up here.
"A great way to turn your iPhone into an international alarm clock on the road."
Clocks 1.0.2 adds military time
Responding to requests from pilots and military personnel, we've included military time zones in the latest release of Clocks. Also included are named US time zones (Central, Eastern, etc), standard time zone abbreviations (e.g GMT, EST) and also support for UTC (or Zulu).
A new local time zone is also included which will keep track of the local time no matter what time zone your device is set to.
The full press release is here.
Time management strategies – Pomodoro Technique
Since I've been working in a home office (actually a cottage in the garden) I've become much more aware of my time management habits, both good and bad. I've had to become far more disciplined with my work habits.
Working in a typical corporate office (as a coder, anyway) much of your schedule is imposed on you from external sources. You have to turn up by a particular time, you need to be at your desk (or a meeting) throughout the day, you can't leave until a certain time at the earliest etc etc. Working from a home office is a different proposition altogether, and you have to try and impose your desired work habits upon yourself.
Towards this end I've been looking at certain ways to improve my productivity, and lately I've been playing with something called the Pomodoro Technique.
Pomodoro is the name of a productivity improvement technique developed by an Italian chap called Francesco Cirilllo, originally using a tomato shaped kitchen timer (hence the name, Pomodoro is Italian for Tomato. I think.) It's a pretty simple idea – break your work periods into 25 minute sessions with 5 minute breaks, with a longer 15 minute break after 4 periods, and you'll get more done.
Back when I used to work in London, I actually used a variation of this whenever I had some tedious job that I really didn't want to code. You know the sort of thing, you've effectively figured it all out in your head, and the rest of the work is just a simple matter of programming. By starting a timer and committing to coding without any distractions for the next 40 minutes or whatever, I was able to plough through the tedious stuff in no time and get it out of the way.
Anyway, so how did I find the Pomodoro technique?
Well, really effective for certain tasks and a bit of a hindrance for others. It was great for jobs that weren't really that interesting, or when I was struggling to get started on something. As part of my implementation I turned off lots of distractions (mail client, web browser, twitter client), and the mere act of working solidly for 25 minutes improved my concentration and helped me get through the to do list. 25 minutes was ideal for this because mentally it's extremely easy to commit to concentrate on one thing only for that period, especially with a small break at the end. And for programmers the 5 minutes break is about right, because I found I didn't lose my frame of reference much during that time.
For some coding though, especially when I was in the zone and hacking away, I found it a hindrance. 25 minutes really isn't long enough in this case, and often I found myself ignoring the timer and not stopping when I should. Would I have improved my productivity more If I'd have been stricter with myself in these periods? Possibly, but coding has it's own natural breaks and I've found it's best to recognise and use these when you're working well.
The verdict? Definitely a useful time management tool, especially as a way of dealing with procrastination. I'm certainly going to use Pomodoro with tasks I don't enjoy as much, but perhaps customise it for longer periods when I'm coding. And I think you really need to manage your level of external interruption, otherwise it's not going to help at all. Francesco has a whole website dedicated to the technique and the pragmatic programmers have a book out about it as well.

From the USA:
I am a 42 year old female who has had type 2 diabetes for 21 years. I have had neuropathy in my feet and legs for about eight years, and about four years ago, it started in my hands. What effect does excessive walking, kneeling, and sitting on floors have on neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a complex and dynamic problem associated with diabetes. This means that the symptoms, pattern of onset, and effective remedies may change over time. Appropriate treatments include improvement in blood sugar control, avoidance of aggravating activities, and medications that may blunt the painful symptoms. Aggravating factors could include excessive walking, kneeling, and sitting on floors.

With many weight loss programs out there, for example, the "fat loss factor" one, it can be intimidating to find a program that works. You, however, do not have to depend on these weight loss plans to have a perfectly formed body.
This is because you can still lose weight smoothly and effectively without having to sign up for the gym or go for days without your favorite meal. Discussed below are some of the easiest ways to tone down and have a perfect body.
1. Eat well-balanced meals: Most people have the delusion that the best way to lose weight is by reducing food intake. Although this could be true, it is advisable to stick to a dieting plan where you eat healthily.
Instead of depending on fast foods, consider whole and organic foods for all your meals. Brown bread, brown rice and sweet potatoes and unprocessed foods are mostly recommended. These foods are rich in dietary fiber that not only induces satiation but also boosts metabolism.
2. Regular body exercise: Regular body exercise is a requirement in every weight loss program. It is by leading an active lifestyle that the body can burn excess fats and use up any excess calories. Make sure to look deeper for something useful, is really good. Regular body exercise increases body metabolism thus increasing the rate at which body fats are respired.
As mentioned above, you never have to sign up for gym sessions to lose weight. Walking, taking the stairs while, at work, swimming, jogging or bike riding are exercise enough to induce weight loss.
3. Use natural weight loss supplements: Natural weight loss supplements have proven to be an effective way for one to lose weight.
Although there are many of these supplements on the market, it would be advisable to research more about the product. The most commonly used and preferred natural weight loss supplements include garcinia cambogia, chia seeds, and green tea among many others.
4. Rest: Body rest is essentially needed for the body to relax and lose weight. Giving your body some time to relax helps it rejuvenate as well as induce automatic cell regeneration and repair.
This leaves the body energized to take on the next day's events and exercises without burning body cells and tissues. Getting some time to relax by sleeping or taking a nap in the middle of the day is therefore recommended.
Although these tips may seem simple, they are the easiest and simplest way to lose weight. All you need is set an achievable goal and stick to it. Nevertheless, you don't have to spend money to trim down and have the body you have always wished for.

Materials science and materials engineering are among the main drivers of innovation in almost all areas of life and technology. Modern lightweight materials, for example, contribute to reduce fuel consumption and thus exhaust gas emissions. That is why material innovations are often the driving force in product development – which is also true for our sector, the fastening technology.
Why is that so?

text: Hello Guys! I just used my custom style linkwheel for a pretty decent niche and it kicked ass. Now Have a look at the image below. Pretty simple huh? 1,2,3,4,5,6 indicate random blogging sites [wpmu, web.com type shit] NOTE: The pic is INCOMPLETE. The software I use is pretty limited with branching.... 1 is linked to 2... 2 to 3.. 3 to 4... 4 to 5... 5 to 6.. and then 6 connects to 1 of the other linkwheel. Tier one is not interlinked at all but it links to the main site. I try to post 100% unique content on tier one. rest is spun articles. [30% or above in uniqueness]. My keyword has 121,000 results in google, so I can this was pretty successful. I blasted the second tier with AutoPligg, ScrapeBox and whatever I could get my hands on. No other direct linking in relation with my Main Site was used. I will keep updating any further changes. Am on #7 atm.

We Are Cove Point is a coalition of people and organizations who are working together to stop a new liquefied fracked gas export terminal that Dominion Resources is building in the residential community of Cove Point in Lusby, Maryland. This is the first liquefied fracked gas export terminal that would be built on the East Coast and the first one built anywhere in the world in such a densely populated area.
The people of Lusby and allies have been working since early 2012 to determine what the impacts of this terminal would be and whether it is safe to put it in our community. Although neither an Environmental Impact Statement nor a Quantitative Risk Assessment have been done, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the refinery and export project, and construction has begun.
For the past four years, people have rallied; visited their county, state and federal legislators; used the courts to challenge the project; and protested at the FERC in Washington, DC. Despite considerable opposition and obvious risks that this project poses to the community and to the climate crisis, Dominion is pushing forward.
We Are Cove Point pledges to reclaim Cove Point from Dominion and to fight to save this beautiful, tranquil and historic community using whatever tools are necessary, including nonviolent resistance. The reasons to stop the liquefied fracked gas export terminal are outlined below.
Join the movement to save Cove Point and keep the gas in the ground!
Join We Are Cove Point by signing up for the email list (on the Home page).
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com if your organization wants to become an ally.
The fracked gas export terminal would:
- Emit 22.5 tons of pollutants into the air each year that would cause increased respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Dominion purchased emission credits that allow the company to expel more pollutants than would normally be allowed. Details on the permitted emissions are here: HAPs_TAPs.
- Bring 85 1,000-foot-long tankers into the Chesapeake Bay that carry explosive materials and discharge millions of gallons of ballast water, threatening marine life and the livelihoods of those who depend upon it.
- Require the clearing of forests that protect local streams, permanently burying 1,000 feet of waterway.
- Emit more than 3.3 million tons of greenhouse gases each year, making it the fourth highest polluter in Maryland.
- Use 210,000 gallons of precious water every day.
- Stockpile toxic and potentially explosive chemicals, such as benzene, acid gases, propane and ethane, which could create a fireball that threaten the nearby neighborhood, schools and the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. There is no safe evacuation route.
- Create noise pollution 24 hours a day, requiring a sound barrier wall as tall as a six-story building, taller than any building in Calvert County.
- Increase truck traffic on small rural roads, which leads to more accidents and slower emergency response times for the community.
- Drive more fracking of the Marcellus Shalefield for export to places where prices for methane are higher, which would put even more communities in the region at risk, and require more pipelines and compressor stations to be built.
There are 2,365 houses within a two-mile evacuation radius around the Dominion facility, including 19 in-home daycare centers. The people of Cove Point would bear the risks of this terminal for the sake of greater profits for Dominion.
The Marcellus Shale extends from New York to Tennessee. If the methane in the Marcellus Shale is released, it would adversely impact the climate crisis. Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and there is evidence that it is worse for global warming than coal.
For the health and safety of the people of Lusby, all people who live around the Marcellus Shale and all life on Earth, we must stop Dominion's liquefied fracked gas export terminal.

Marine populations of the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have repeatedly colonized and rapidly adapted to freshwater habitats, providing a powerful system to map the genetic architecture of evolved traits. Here we developed and applied a binned Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) method to build dense genome-wide linkage maps of sticklebacks, using two large marine by freshwater F2 crosses of over 350 fish each. The resulting linkage maps significantly improve the genome assembly by anchoring 78 new scaffolds to chromosomes, reorienting 40 scaffolds, and rearranging scaffolds in 4 locations. In the revised genome assembly, 94.6% of the assembly was anchored to a chromosome. To assess linkage map quality, we mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling lateral plate number, which mapped as expected to a 200 kilobase genomic region containing Ectodysplasin, as well as a chromosome 7 QTL overlapping a previously identified modifier QTL. Finally, we mapped eight QTL controlling convergently evolved reductions in gill raker length in the two crosses, which revealed that this classic adaptive trait has a surprisingly modular and non-parallel genetic basis.

So, you want to know more about GeneratePress!
About the creator, Tom
My name is Tom Usborne and I'm the creator of GeneratePress.
I'm a 20-something year old father and husband living on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Stacey and I recently had a little girl who we named Leah. She's amazing, and the reason I'm able to answer some support questions for my customers in the middle of the night!
I've been working with WordPress for about 8 years now, but have been creating websites since I was 11 years old.
Before GeneratePress, I was a freelance web designer/developer creating websites for clients.
I no longer create websites for clients, I spend my days in the support forum helping out my users, and creating/improving features for GeneratePress.
This is my dream job, and I wake up every day excited to work on GeneratePress and support my awesome users.
About GeneratePress
After creating hundreds of custom themes for clients over the years, I decided I needed a solid theme to base all of my work off of – that's how GeneratePress was born.
At first, I just planned on releasing it as a free theme, hoping people would like it and send me some coffees for my time.
Then it started growing! I realized people wanted more features, but I wanted to keep the theme light for developers like me who wanted a lightweight base for their client websites. That's where the modular add-ons came into play – each of them can be turned on and off as needed, so there's not a bunch of unnecessary stuff loading in the background of the theme.
Today, GeneratePress has over one million downloads, a 5 star rating on WordPress.org and has over 35,000 customers!
As GeneratePress grows, it will continue to focus largely on performance, SEO and usability.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says its too soon to discuss a new deal for Steven Gerrard.
Rodgers played down claims captain Steven Gerrard was to be offered a new deal, he did admit it was something which would be looked at.
"I've seen some stuff about Steven being offered a new contract but that hasn't been the case," he said. "He still has 18 months or so on his deal but there is no doubt come the end of that he is still going to be in great condition.
"He is 32 now and you saw at the weekend his brilliant performance.
"He is playing a slightly different role in this team in terms of responsibility because he has a lot of younger talents around him.
"He hasn't scored nearly the number of goals he has in previous years but there are a number of reasons for that, but it is certainly not because of his quality.
"I really believe once that contract is up we'll sit down and look to extend that."
