Changes for version 1.29_02
- ** Support for mod_perl-2.00 (mod_perl-1.99 is no longer supported because of API changes in 2.0RC5).
- Mason recovers more gracefully from an empty or corrupted object file. Task id #579.
Changes for version 1.29_01
- ** Mason now requires Perl 5.6.0 or later. However, because 5.6.0 has so many problems, it cannot be officially supported; we strongly recommend upgrading to at least 5.6.1.
- ** Mason now requires version 1.24 of mod_perl in the ApacheHandler module.
- ** The behaviors of $m->flush_buffer and $m->clear_buffer have been simplified. $m->flush_buffer only acts on the top-level output buffer; $m->clear_buffer clears all output buffers. Task id #554.
- ** max_code_cache_size is now kept in terms of number of components, not bytes, and its default value is 'unlimited'.
- ** Components with a <%filter> and a cache_self are no longer cached in their filtered state. Performance-related code simplifications made this behavior difficult to maintain. Long term this would be easier to implement with a cache_self component <%flag>.
- ** All compiler properties are now read-only. If you need to change compiler properties on a per-request basis, you'll need to create multiple compiler and interpreter objects.
- ** comp_exists may try to load the designated component, and may throw an error if it contains a syntax error.
- ** The current_time method, deprecated in 1.1x, has been removed.
- ** The HTML::Mason::Buffer class has been eliminated for performance reasons. You can use separate components, methods, or subcomponents and scomp to achieve the same effects as buffer pushes and pops.
- Significantly improved performance in component execution, especially in static_source mode.
- Added static_source_touch_file, making it much easier to update a server running in static_source mode.
- Added a plugin architecture. Plugin classes can perform actions at key points, e.g. before and after each request and each component call. See HTML::Mason::Plugin for documentation. Task id #24. Initial implementation by Doug Treder.
- Added the ability to change component root(s) on the fly if the dynamic_comp_root parameter is turned on. Task id #561. Suggested by Alex Robinson.
- Added enable_autoflush parameter. When turned off, Mason can compile components to a more efficient form.
- Changed the </&> tag to allow the starting component name to be included. e.g. <&| /foo &> ... </& /foo >. Task id #556. Suggested by Alex Robinson, John Williams, and others.
- Moved the notion of component roots (single and multiple) from the Resolver to the Interpreter. This improved the performance of multiple component roots in conjunction with static source mode. Any resolver, file-based or otherwise, can benefit from component root settings or choose to ignore them.
- Added the compiler object_id to the object file path, so that multiple versions of Mason do not collide in the same object directory. Task id #569.
- Added .obj (or a configurable extension) to object filenames. Task id #152. Suggested by John Tobey.
- Added $m->clear_and_abort, syntactic sugar for the common idiom of calling clear_buffer() and then abort(). Task id #505.
- Added an official comment syntax, <% # ... %>, and documented the various comment markers in the developer's manual. Task id #566.
- Added buffer_preallocate_size parameter, which allows you to potentially reduce buffer reallocations.
- Augmented the 'could not find component' error message with the current component root(s). Task id #562.
- Mason now throws an error if the path specified in a component's 'inherit' flag cannot be found. Task id #480.
- Fixed comp_exists to work with any path accepted by comp or fetch_comp, and fixed fetch_comp to stop throwing errors for certain bad paths. Task id #572.
- Fixed $m->decline to work from /dhandler. Task id #573. Submitted by Carl Raiha.
- Using 'next' or 'last' without a loop can no longer corrupt the component stack. Task id #539.

By using our fences for your house, you choose to build a stylish security system surrounding your home. Our fences are distinguished by their attentive design and exceptional quality. We put maximum effort into making our customers feel good and safe when selecting our fences.
Our fences will match the style of your home and its surroundings. It will bring out its features and give the enter homestead a characteristic and elegant appearance. Based on their individual style and personal expectations, everyone can find the fencing they prefer among the wide variety of products.
In quest of adapting to customer needs, we make two types of fence systems: with galvanized and powder coating (duplex system) and powder coating only. Each of these types of fencing is made with great care and state-of-the-art technologies.
We currently use the most popular efficient anti-corrosive protection technology for protecting steel, referred to as duplex. It is based on applying a galvanized layer on the steel surface and coating this layer with powder coating. This process definitely extends the anti-corrosive durability for galvanized surfaces and strengthens the resistance against mechanical damage caused to the layer.
On the contrary, the powder coating method is based on applying charged particles of powder coating to the conductive metal surface. This method enables the thorough penetration of the powder coating and establishes a resistant and durable layer.
Mutual complementing of two types of coatings: the galvanized coating prevents corrosion under the layer if the coating layer is damaged and the powder coating protects the galvanized material against the impact of atmospheric or chemical factors and also adds aesthetic value.

HEMPSTEAD, NY -- The Hempstead Village Board of Trustees recently agreed to a make permanent a trial contract with the North Shore-LIJ Health System ambulance service for emergency medical services.The unanimous vote was taken by the board on December 4 and had the strong support of Mayor Wayne T. Hall.
In June, Hempstead Village began a free six-month trial arrangement with North Shore-LIJ Health System's Center for Emergency Medical Services (CEMS) to provide emergency medical services for the Village.
This new contract will guarantee 24-hour, seven-day-a-week ambulance and emergency medical coverage to the village at no cost to local government.
Previously, when Nassau County ambulance services were required in Hempstead, a village police officer was assigned to drive the vehicle to the hospital while the accompanying emergency medical technician (EMT) tended to the victim.
This practice put an unnecessary strain on the village's police department, which receives almost 6,000 yearly calls for emergency help.
"Before, when our village police called for Nassau County EMT services, only one EMT responded so that meant that a village police officer had to drive the ambulance to the hospital," explained Mayor Hall. "I cannot have our officers driving an ambulance. I need my cops on the street. Having a police officer become an ambulance driver was nonsense. Keeping cops here in the village is crucial."
North Shore-LIJ offers the ambulance service at no cost to the village. The hospital bills the patient's insurance company for the services provided.
With the new Hempstead contract, the North Shore-LIJ Center for EMS now has four agreements with the region's local governments to deliver EMS services.
North Shore-LIJ ambulances have been responding to EMS calls for the Village of Rockville Centre since 2008, and earlier this year, became the primary 911 EMS provider for the Village of Lake Success and the Port Authority at LaGuardia Airport.
In Rockville Centre, "Nassau 911" was the first-ever private-public EMS partnership on Long Island, offering ambulance and emergency medical services to local residents.
Working in tandem with the Rockville Centre Volunteer Fire Department, the North Shore-LIJ CEMS has responded to more than 3,500 emergency (911) calls from the village and transported more than 2,900 ill or injured patients to local hospitals.
These public-private-partnerships are designed to preserve the traditions of the volunteer fire service, respect the practice of home-rule and result in substantial savings for Long Island taxpayers," said Alan Schwalberg, vice president of emergency medical services for North Shore-LIJ.


text: Pedro Martinez appeared on "The Big Show" this afternoon. He mentioned the huge difference between this year and previous years. Jimy was "rough" to play for at times. There could be no joking around and having a good time. He was told not to wear Rich Garces' pants anymore because he was embarrassing the balllcub. He was pressured to pitch last year at 70 or 80 percent, which wasn't right. Carl Everett was not the big problem on the team last year, injuries were. Grady Little is wonderful to play for, this team is loose, has fun together, goes out to dinner as a group. He talked about people who come in and only want to ask about the negatives….what about the Yankees…they're only 1 game behind….Ordway said "that was a pretty good Shaughnessy impression"…Pedro laughed and said "How did you know who that was?" He said the power of the pen is too much power, a player might not want to talk one day, and he gets ripped by the media. Some reporters will not give up, just will push and push and push…he said the media did that to Carl Everett. Ordway asked "Are you really saying the media was responsible for his actions…he headbutted an umpire!" Pedro said some of it was. Headbutting the umpire was wrong, but Carl got upset because he cared about that at-bat. The media would come in and press his buttons. (imagine that) Pedro said all year is going to be a test for him, for learning about his shoulder and protecting it and keep healthy. He doesn't want any "downtime" this summer. He'd like to fade back so that the media's attention isn't focused on analysing every pitch, every inning, every game…is Pedro ok…is he hurting…He likes that Derek Lowe is taking attention from him. He was funny when Ordway presented him with the expensive noise blocking headset that Big Show guests receive. He said he would put them on "when Shaughnessy or Johnny Miller come up" to him…."unless they come up as friends" he added.

I don't know anything about that particular characteristic and seem to be having the most difficult time finding anything. Also if you have any information about the different characteristics that can be found within the crystal. If you can help me I would be so very grateful. Thank you for your time.

Chicago: Significant progress is being made in the prevention and treatment of ovarian and breast cancer, according to findings discussed at a global oncology conference.
"The studies presented at this meeting show impressive progress in disease control and prevention of breast cancer," said Dr. Andrew Seidman, professor of medicine at Cornell University.
"Also, two consistent studies demonstrated the benefit of adding bevacizumab (Avastin) to standard chemotherapy for ovarian cancer," he added.
Avastin, produced by Swiss biotech giant Roche, blocks the development of blood vessels needed for tumor growth.
A clinical trial showed a 52 percent reduction in the risk of progression of recurrent ovarian cancer in women who took Avastin in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy.
The most striking finding at the 47th annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology was that Aromasin, which blocks the production of estrogen, reduced by 65 percent the risk of breast cancer in high risk post-menopausal women.
Close to three-quarters of breast cancer tumors need estrogen to grow.
Annually, there are 1.3 million new cases of breast cancer and nearly 500,000 women die worldwide. In the United States, only lung cancer accounts for more deaths in women.
Paul Goss of Harvard Medical School and lead author of the study on exemestane -- sold under the brand name Aromasin -- said it`s the "first major clinical trial" in the past 10 years on breast cancer prevention.
"Exemestane may be considered a new option for the prevention of breast cancer," Goss said during a press conference.
The clinical study was conducted from 2004 to 2010 and enrolled 4,560 women from the United States, Canada, Spain and France who had at least one major risk factor such as being age 60 or older, or having prior breast cancer tumors, including breast cancer with mastectomy.
Half the participants received Aromasin, produced by US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, and half were given a placebo.
After a period of three years, the Aromasin group had about one third as many invasive cancers as those in the placebo group -- a result corresponding to what researchers expected at the beginning of the trial, Goss said.
Aromastate inhibitors like exemestane are distinct from other anti-estrogen therapies such as tamoxifen and raloxifene, which have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as preventative therapies for women at high breast cancer risk.
Exemestane, too, has been approved by the FDA, for use in early breast cancer patients.
The most common side effects reported by Aromasin users include fatigue, hot flashes, insomnia and joint pain.
Also Saturday, researchers said extra radiation treatment lowers the rate of breast cancer recurring in women who have had tumors surgically removed.
More than 1,800 women participated, receiving whole breast radiation (WBI) alone or WBI along with radiation to the surrounding lymph nodes.
Five years later, women who received radiation treatment to the breast and lymph nodes had a 41 percent lower rate of recurrences near the tumor site and a 36 percent lower rate of cancer recurrences in other parts of the body.
"These results are potentially practice-changing," said Timothy Whelan, an oncology professor at McMaster University of Canada and lead author of the clinical study.

text: land banks Syracuse land bank 'bearing fruit' 5 years in By Ellen Abbott • Jun 21, 2017 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News The Greater Syracuse Land Bank celebrated its fifth birthday this week with a bus trip to show off some of it's success stories. Land bank officials and others visited demolition sights, a community garden and renovated rental housing, like Sam Reppi's conversion of a dilapidated building on Burnet Avenue into apartments and a storefront business. Syracuse Land Bank wants more renovations in city's most struggling neighborhoods By Tom Magnarelli • Nov 29, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News File Photo Listen Listening... / 1:42 Syracuse's Land Bank is applying for a new round of funding from settlements the New York State Attorney General's Office made with banks after the 2008 mortgage crisis. The land bank wants to use the new funding on renovations in areas of the city it has previously neglected. Syracuse Land Bank still waiting on contract with city after 4 months By Tom Magnarelli • Oct 26, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News The Syracuse Land Bank has been operating for about four months without a contract with the city. The result is the Land Bank has had to slow down acquiring foreclosed properties. Oswego County land bank obtains first properties By Payne Horning • Sep 19, 2016 Payne Horning / WRVO News At its meeting Thursday, the Oswego County Legislature voted to sell six foreclosed properties to the county's land bank for $1 so it can begin the rehabilitation process. Oswego legislator Shane Broadwell said it's been a long road from when the land bank was approved for creation by New York state in January. Watertown considers a land bank to help sell off vacant homes By Julia Botero • Nov 18, 2015 Julia Botero / WRVO news Watertown is looking at cities like Syracuse and Rochester for a new way to handle abandoned homes. City officials say a land bank can help get properties back on the tax roll. Out on the corner of Coffeen and Waltham Streets in Watertown, the windows on a red brick house are broken. Syracuse School district says it can handle revenue loss due to land bank; city council disagrees By Ryan Delaney • Mar 18, 2015 Greater Syracuse Area Land Bank / City of Syracuse There is disagreement between the Syracuse city council and its school district over just how much of an impact the land bank is having on the district's budget. The Syracuse public school system projects it will collect nearly a $1 million less this year because of properties acquired by the city's land bank. Greater Syracuse Land Bank gets more funding to demolish, renovate old homes By Ellen Abbott • Oct 16, 2014 Ellen Abbott / WRVO Syracuse is in line for more money for its land bank. The state announced a second round of awards Wednesday to help communities restore abandoned and dangerous properties. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced that another $20 million is going out to land banks across the state, while at a house on Syracuse's Southside. The home was renovated, and has been sold to a first time home buyer. Katelyn Wright, executive director of the Greater Syracuse Land Bank says the city is in line for $2 million from this round of awards. Syracuse combats lack of affordable housing by educating landlords By Ellen Abbott • Aug 5, 2014 Greater Syracuse Area Land Bank / City of Syracuse The city of Syracuse is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis, but one organization is hoping it can ease things by educating landlords. Part of the problem is timing. For the last year, the Syracuse Land Bank has been buying properties seized by the city for back taxes, according to Sharon Sherman of the Greater Syracuse Tenants Network. "Hundreds of properties have been foreclosed on and are making their way into the land bank, but very few have been sold yet, so that's taken quite a few out," Sherman said. Syracuse nixes smoking in parks; approves alarm fee By Ryan Delaney • Jun 10, 2014 The Syracuse Common Council has snuffed out the right to smoke in city parks and publicly-owned downtown gathering areas, like Clinton Square. The council also formally added the dropping of cigarette butts on sidewalks to its anti-littering ordinance, punishable by a $50 fine. The laws were written by councilor Bob Dougherty and Khalid Bey, who said they will shift the habits of smokers and protect people in public who don't want to be near second-hand smoke. Syracuse land bank to try deconstucting old homes instead of demolishing By Ellen Abbott • Mar 17, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO The Greater Syracuse Area Land Bank is going into the deconstruction business. Taking apart old homes piece by piece will be an option to just tearing them down. In the last year, the land bank has acquired 165 properties that had been seized by the city for back taxes. Many are in such bad shape they have to be torn down. Instead of demolition though, Land Bank Executive Director Katelyn Wright says there is some money available for deconstruction. Syracuse Land Bank reports on progess in first year By Ellen Abbott • Mar 12, 2014 Greater Syracuse Area Land Bank/City of Syracuse After a year on the job, the Greater Syracuse Area Land Bank has issued its first progress report, which notes that several steps have been taken to start reclaiming Syracuse neighborhoods from dilapidated and decaying homes. First the numbers. The Syracuse Land Bank has acquired 165 properties across Syracuse over the past year. Twelve have been sold or have sales pending; 21 are currently for sale; 26 are slated for demolition; and 57 are vacant lots. Syracuse Land Bank demolishes first house By Ellen Abbott • Mar 10, 2014 Greater Syracuse Area Land Bank/City of Syracuse The Greater Syracuse Land Bank has torn down its first house. Crews demolished a vacant home just off South Salina Street on Syracuse's Southside Monday, after the land bank determined it was deteriorated beyond repair. It's the first of 25 properties slated for demolition this year, by the organization that buys dilapidated properties and either rehabs them or tears them down. The idea is to deal with properties that are a drag on neighborhoods and magnets for crime. Schneiderman proposes more efforts to reduce vacant properties By Ryan Delaney • Feb 24, 2014 Jinjian Liang / via Flickr New York's attorney general wants to reduce the number of vacant properties in the state's cities by creating more land banks and a registry to track foreclosed on homes. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has proposed legislation that will double the number of land banks in the state to 20. The first ten land banks, including one in Syracuse, began working over the past two years. Their mission is to seize vacant and severely tax delinquent properties and put them back on the tax rolls. Vacant properties are a drain on municipalities to maintain, Schneiderman said. Syracuse land bank sells its first properties By Ryan Delaney • Dec 11, 2013 Ryan Delaney / WRVO With a wish of "good luck" to the new owners, the board of the Greater Syracuse Land Bank sold its first house Tuesday. The buyers of the vacant home on the 200 block of South Collingwood Ave. are Shaqir and Zahidi Halimi. The Eastwood neighborhood home was delinquent on property taxes and seized by the land bank, one of the 88 it's taken control of so far. There are more than 3,000 vacant and delinquent properties in the city. Syracuse land bank becomes a landlord By Ryan Delaney • Oct 10, 2013 The Syracuse land bank became a landlord this week as part of its work to put more city land on the tax rolls. The land bank, known formally as the Greater Syracuse Property Development Corporation, closed on the sale of 17 properties that are vacant or owners were significantly behind on their property taxes. Land Bank law amended, counties can now buy vacant properties By Ashley Hirtzel • Oct 4, 2013 A new state law amends New York's land bank legislation introduced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration in 2011. Land banks are mechanisms for acquiring or demolishing abandoned properties that are delinquent on their taxes. The bill removes previous barriers that restricted counties and municipalities from purchasing properties without judicial authorization, allowing them to bid at public sales. Republican state Sen. Mark Grisanti sponsored the legislation. Syracuse Common Council approves more foreclosures By Ellen Abbott • Sep 9, 2013 Syracuse Common Councilors have agreed to begin foreclosure proceedings on more than two dozen addition tax delinquent properties, that will be turned over to the land bank. This is the third round of foreclosure decisions by lawmakers in the last month. But, there is an end game in sight. Common Council votes to turn properties over to Land Bank By Ellen Abbott • Aug 7, 2013 Syracuse Common Councilors started the process of turning over tax-delinquent properties to the new Land Bank of Syracuse and Onondaga County on Monday, beginning a new era as the city tries to get rid of many dilapidated or abandoned properties that have been a blight on some neighborhoods, and a burden for tax collectors. State's land banks to get funds to help redevelop abandoned properties By Ellen Abbott • Jun 27, 2013 New York state will use some of the money from last year's settlement with banks which contributed to the collapse of the housing market to help fund the state's "land banks," entities that buy and hold abandoned properties for redevelopment.New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has announced that a pot of $20 million will be divided up between the state's land banks for later development. Syracuse resident Hadee Rolon hopes it can help her Westside neighborhood, where well-kept properties are surrounded by boarded-up homes. Rochester Land Bank to try to get more properties on the tax rolls By Kate O'Connell • Mar 7, 2013 Some rights reserved by Kake Pugh The City of Rochester has been given state approval to establish one of the state's ten Land Banks. The city's Land Bank will support the acquisition of vacant, tax-delinquent properties which will then be renovated and sold through the HOME Rochester program. The aim is to also get more properties back on the tax rolls. Report says more collaboration needed in upstate revitalization By Ryan Delaney • Feb 15, 2013 More collaboration is needed between the several efforts under way to revitalize upstate New York's "legacy cities," says a report released this week by a public affairs institute. Syracuse approves plan to share funds with new land bank By Ryan Delaney • Dec 18, 2012 The Syracuse Common Council voted Monday to give the city's newly formed land bank a loan for startup costs and to share property tax revenue so the land bank can function over the long term, but some felt the details of those plans left a lot to be desired. Funding structure for Syracuse's land bank slightly clearer By Ryan Delaney • Dec 13, 2012 Jinjian Liang / via Flickr It began sending out foreclosure notices for the first time last month, but a long-term funding source for Syracuse and Onondaga County's newly formed land bank is just starting to come into focus; though some details remain to be worked out. Council wants to kick-start land bank operations By Ryan Delaney • Dec 4, 2012 The Syracuse Common Council has proposed loaning the newly formed city-county land bank money so it can begin operating in earnest, but questions remain on the availability of those funds. 200 Foreclosure notices sent out Monday in Syracuse By Durrie Lawrence • Nov 19, 2012 A newly-established land bank sent out 200 foreclosure notices in Syracuse on Monday. The land bank is one of five approved by the state earlier this year, as part of an effort to reduce the number of neglected properties and to add to property tax rolls. State audit critical of Syracuse hiring practice By Ryan Delaney • Oct 18, 2012 An audit released Thursday morning by a state oversight board is critical of a hiring practice long-used by the city of Syracuse to get around civil service requirements. Funding uncertain as new "land banks" move forward By Ryan Delaney • Sep 18, 2012 Jinjian Liang / Flickr Newly formed "land banks" in upstate New York are moving forward, despite uncertainties on just how they'll work - or be funded. The quasi-public entity in Syracuse recently presented a plan to the city to begin foreclosing on its approximately 3,900 vacant and tax delinquent properties, but there are still unanswered questions. Syracuse "land bank" faces tall order: 3,300 tax-delinquent properties By Ryan Delaney • May 18, 2012 voxphoto / via Flickr The city of Syracuse has a new tool it hopes will reduce the number of vacant and tax-delinquent properties. This week the state gave the OK for Syracuse and Onondaga County to create one of the first five "land banks" in New York State. The new agency has plenty to work on. There are 3,300 delinquent plots in the city of Syracuse alone.

Meteorites & Tektites
The research collections of F. Earl Ingerson and the more extensive collection of Virgil E. Barnes form the core of this material.
Collections include meteorites acquired during the early geological surveys of the State of Texas, and those added since that time for both research or display. Especially prominent are the collections from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) project at the Odessa impact site, directed by E.H. Sellards and overseen in the field by Glen L. Evans.
Click here to see a computer simulation of the Odessa impact structure.
The Catalogue of Meteorites is the database of all meteorite falls and finds. It is published by the Natural History Museum in London, UK. If you search that database for the Concho meteorite shown here you can find details about the meteorite.
The research collections of F. Earl Ingerson and the more extensive collection of Virgil E. Barnes form the core of this material. The Virgil E. Barnes Tektite Collection contains specimens collected by Dr. Barnes over the course of his career, from localities throughout the world. The collection currently contains about 2000 uniquely identified specimens, consisting of over 7000 individual pieces. These specimens consist of Australites, Libyan Glass, Moldavites, Indochinites (from China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam), Ivory Coast Tektites, Philippinites, and Bedasites. In addition to actual specimens, the collection includes comparison materials, source rock samples, as well as additional materials used in Dr. Barnes' tektite research.
See examples of tektites in our collections.
Other Impact Related
These are rocks that have been affected by an impact at, or close to, the impact site. Shatter cones, impact glass, other than tektites, and impact breccias are included. The collections contain quantities of brecciated rocks from the Odessa impact site (the WPA project, Sellards and Evans) and material from various impact sites collected by Virgil Barnes.

Thread: Why is turtling so bad?
- 08-09-2012 #1
Why is turtling supposed to be so bad for gains? I'm not saying that it isn't, but I don't think that I've ever seen a good reason why it should be. It seems a bit like a "cargo-cult" ritual: "if it hangs low, it'll stay that way" sort of thinking.
I just can't think of good answers to any of the following questions (which I think more or less cover all of the proposed theories for penis growth):
- If the penis grows because of increased mitosis/tissue expansion, why should turtling stop the cells from dividing?
- If the penis grows partly through plastic deformation, why should turtling stop this?
- Why should turtling reduce the volume of blood that the corpus cavernosum?
- Why should turtling damage (or prevent growth of) the smooth muscle?
Just curious...Initial (16/6/12) : nbpel 12.5 cm / 4.9 inches , mseg 12cm / 4.7 inches

I believe it is bad because it is a sign that your penis is not fully well. Think: your penis turtles when:
- you are afraid in order to protect itself form physical harm:
- you are cold in order to protect itself from cold bites;
- it is hot to avoid damage from heat;
- it is injured to give the body a chance to heal it before it gets hurt again.
This is why turtling is a bad because it tells you your penis is not well.

A turtled penis equals a penis with not much blood in it. It's a natural reaction. This reaction means your dick has been overtrained. When your dick hangs loose/low, he has a lot of blood. This is good, it helps recovery.

In my thinking, turtling is a result of over stress, or so thats how I interpret my turtling. It results in poorer flaccid hang ( who wants that ? ), and usually means decrease in morning wood/erection quality. In my 4th year of extending, PE exercises, I've run the full gamut, and for me, turtling does me no good what-so-ever.Valued Member of 8+ years at the PEGymLooks are deceiving, mirrors don't lie.

I thought that contraction of the Dartos/Cremester was the main cause of turtling; some people get botox in the Dartos to increase flaccid hang and reduce retraction.Initial (16/6/12) : nbpel 12.5 cm / 4.9 inches , mseg 12cm / 4.7 inches

As a person who had a huge freak out over turtling in the past - it's bad for gains not for a physiological reason, but because you just don't want to do any PE for weeks because of it. So it indirectly affects gains and also harms confidence.

If I lift my unit turtles, should I stop lifting? If you PE and your unit doesn't turtle, I think it is a sign you didn't stress it very much if any. Sure, if your unit turtles and stays turtled many hours later that is one thing, but if in an hour or two it is back to normal I don't think that is anything to worry about. I am not a doctor so I could be wrong, but if guys can hang many pound weights off the damn thing and think nothing of it, stretching or jelqing it (proper form naturally) is not going to damage it. Many guys here say that when you take rest days it helps your unit to grow and recover, so what is an hour or two going to do that is so negative? With that said, when I finish my jelqing session I do a LAS for about 45 minutes or so if I can. Keeping it stretched out is good and with the added plumpness from the jelqing I feel it enhances the benefits of the LAS.

Turtling is normal. It is more pronouced after a workout session when blood is channeled to the muscles to provide O2 for exertion and to process lactic acid.
Nothing to stress about.

Turtling is totally normal, but I think the major consensus is to try to avoid it. There was a PEer at Thunder's Place called Big Girtha who got the saying going "never let it turtle". It's just the idea that healing in an elongated state is better for gains. Do a search on google and read some of his theory on it, it's a good read."Heroes get remembered. Legends never die."

NATURE CONTAINED | An Urban Sculpture Garden
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE > September 5, 2013
Saturday, October 5, 2013 – 2PM – 7PM
Guest Curated by Brooke Erin Goldstein
The Plant Courtyard
(Adjacent to Yellow Peril Gallery)
60 Valley Street
Providence, RI 02909
Yellow Peril Gallery is pleased to present "Nature Contained", a one-night-only event featuring artists working with nature as a medium or subject matter at The Plant Courtyard in the historic mill complex in the Olneyville section of Providence, Rhode Island. This single day event is free to the general public and runs on Saturday, October 5, 2013, (rain date Sunday, October 6) from 2PM to 7PM.
"Nature Contained", featuring seven artists working locally in the Providence/Boston area, comments on our current culture of technology by creating space for us to unplug, turn off and silence the influences of the outside world by exploring pockets of nature brought into an urban environment. "Currently in our society there is almost an expectation of availability," explains Goldstein. "Privacy has become taboo with social media and smart phones keeping our every moment connected."
"Nature Contained" is meant to inspire serenity in the viewer giving them permission to get lost and explore along a natural walking path where the artwork is the greenery.
Patrons who purchase artwork from the show will be inviting themselves to take that feeling of peace home with them. This acts as a reminder to take time out to review and reenter the world as it was intended by design.

Even though this UK junglist is famous for his many dub-fueled dancefloor tunes on Timeless Recordings, Digital has never made a DJ appearance in Chicago. Recently, he inked a deal with Klute's Commercial Suicide imprint, adding his signature formula of ragga-infused, bass-heavy sounds. After many years of "almost-but-not-quite" booking endeavors, Digital is coming to Sonotheque for a blowout event. Characterized by retro amen-breaks and relentless drum loops coupled with heavy doses of bouncy, throbbing basslines, Digital enjoys delivering the consistent hum of low-end power. As a production veteran, his deep bag of tricks and unheard dubplates are sure to please. If you're a Chicago drum 'n' bass fan, you've been waiting for this night for a long second; it's finally time to brock out to Digital. (John Alex Colon)

Knowing what vaccinations are necessary for foreign trips can sometimes be difficult to find out. But travellers don't need to be confused any more. For just 59p they can download the Healix Travel Vaccination app onto their iPhone and they'll be able to tap into up to the minute advice, wherever they are in the world and for wherever they're going.
As one of the world's leading international medical assistance businesses, Healix looks after the wellbeing of thousands of holidaymakers and business travellers every day. And it has used its expert knowledge and resources to deliver professional health advice to travellers, right at their fingertips, with its new iPhone app. Whether a business traveller making many trips a year; a student planning a Gap year itinerary or just looking forward to that special holiday in an exotic location, there's no need to be confused over which jabs or inoculations are needed. And by providing up to the minute information on the iPhone, the Healix Travel Vaccination app means travellers already on their journey can check at any time that they are properly protected for their next destination.
"When planning a trip, it can be confusing working out which vaccinations are needed," explained Russell Smith of Healix. "Added to which, if you're on an extended trip it's not always easy to be sure that you have the right vaccinations for every country you're visiting. The Healix Travel Vaccination app is therefore designed to help travellers find out the risks and the right inoculations for their chosen destinations. From holidaymakers and Gap year students to business travellers, the Healix Travel Vaccination App means anyone with an iPhone can get the information they need, in the palm of their hand."
Once the Healix app is downloaded, the user can select more than one country at a time. This means that travellers planning to visit numerous countries can get the information they need in one go, rather than looking up each country individually. Users simply select the countries they need and answer a few yes/no questions to get a list of all the vaccinations required, as well as useful travel advice. Plus, the Healix Travel Vaccination app keeps a history of previous searches for easy reference and the results can be e-mailed anywhere.
"More and more travellers are heading off the beaten track these days, but visiting more exotic destinations can increase the risks" concluded Russell Smith. "This means it's more important than ever that people get the right vaccinations before they go and the Healix Travel Vaccination app offers the perfect way to deliver the travel information people need, saving them time, while ensuring they enjoy a safe trip."
The Healix Vaccination App can be downloaded from the iTunes store (search for 'healix') or by clicking this link (this will open iTunes)

We are asked this question all the time:
Should I make my own Highlight Tape or have a professional do it?
If you look at investment of having a professional do it the right way vs. the potential awareness it will drive to you as a potential College Long Snapper the answer is pretty clear. Have a pro do it for you!
A Highlight tape in most cases is the one shot you have to impress a college coach in just a few short seconds. It is essential that it is done professionally and clearly defines you and your skill set. When choosing a Film maker consult with Rubio Long Snapping prior as we know what makes the perfect Long Snapping Highlight Tape.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when developing a Highlight Tape:
- Put your Best Clips at the beginning of the Tape, in some cases you only have a few seconds to catch the attention of college scouts.
- Make sure you include a small bio, contact info, jersey colors, your number, GPA, SAT Score, etc.
- Follow up, be persistent make sure the coaches received your tape and that they viewed it.
- Leverage your online presence by showcasing the Video across all your Social Media Sites, Youtube Channels, Scouting Website Profiles, etc. you never know who will see it.
Prior to any attempt at creating a Highlight Tape consult with Rubio Long Snapping to guide in the right direction.
Rubio Long Snapping is, by far, the biggest and best resource for Long Snappers in the country. Offering the best instruction and most exposure in the world. Rubio Long Snapping can help you to become the best snapper you can be!
In just 12 years, Chris Rubio, President and Owner of Rubio Long Snapping, has become the #1 Long Snapping instructor in the country and the go-to man when a college coach needs a Long Snapper. Colleges from across the country rely on "Rubio's" word day in and day out on who the best Long Snappers are in the country. Rubio Long Snapping has assisted in over 300 Long Snappers earning FULL SCHOLARSHIPS to major colleges and universities just for Long Snapping and many into the NFL as well.

4 Habits Guaranteed to Lose Your Boss's Trust
4 Habits Guaranteed to Lose Your Boss's Trust:-
You could spend years working for the same manager, building your reputation as a hard-working, well-intentioned, always-dependable employee
And in a fraction of that time, you could lose it all.
It may sound harsh, but it's true: Trust is much easier to lose than it is to gain. No matter how long you've been an excellent and dependable employee, if you adopt some less-than-desirable habits—even for a short while—you can do a significant amount of damage to your hard-earned reputation.
So, to make sure you stay in your manager's good graces (and continue earning your way to raises, promotions, and opportunities), check out these four easy ways to lose your boss' trust—and make sure you don't recognize any of these habits in your own work life.

Range DescriptionLoxia scotica occurs in Scotland, UK, where it is mainly restricted to the eastern Highlands within which core areas are Nairn, Moray and Banff, extending down into lower Deeside, and in Sutherland (Summers and Buckland in press). It is likely that there are shifts in the distribution of the population in response to regional fluctuations in the cone crops of conifers, particularly those of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris (Tucker and Heath 1994, I. Bainbridge and R. Summers in litt. 1999). The population size was estimated at 1,500 adult birds in the early 1970s and at estimate of 300-1250 pairs in 1988. Surveys during 1995-2003 using an apparently diagnostic excitement call to locate the species found it in 94 woods during the breeding season (Summers et al. 2004), but as birds are likely to move seasonally and this study was carried out over several years it is hard to be sure how much duplication is involved. Using the same diagnostic excitement call, a recent study has estimated its population to number 13,600 post-juvenile individuals (Summers and Buckland in press).

No. 95-743
Sumner F. Kalman, Attorney at Law, P.C., of Plaistow (Sumner F. Kalman on the brief and orally), for the plaintiff.
McNeill & Taylor, P.A., of Dover (Lynne M. Dennis and Malcolm R. McNeill, Jr. on the brief, and Mr. McNeill orally), for the defendants.
BROCK, C.J. The Town of Plaistow Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) ruled against the defendants, James and Karen Riddle d/b/a Timberlane Auto, after the defendants sought to remove certain restrictions from an occupancy permit. The defendants took a voluntary nonsuit after filing an appeal under RSA 677:4 (1986). In related but separate proceedings, the Superior Court (Goode, J.) ruled that the effect of the voluntary nonsuit after appeal was for the judgment to become effective as if no appeal had been taken, requiring the granting of a motion in limine that sought to exclude reference to claims made during the ZBA appeal. This interlocutory appeal from ruling followed. See Sup. Ct. R. 8. We reverse and remand.
We derive the underlying facts from the interlocutory appeal statement. The defendants operate an automotive shop in the town of Plaistow (town), at which they conduct general automotive repairs and sales in addition to some "body work." They operate pursuant to an occupancy permit that limits their use in this way: "no major body work or spraying to be conducted on the premises." In 1989, the town brought an action to enforce the occupancy permit limitation and the town's zoning ordinance (the enforcement action). The defendants responded by claiming that their use of the property was a preexisting nonconforming use and thus did not constitute a zoning violation.
During the pendency of the enforcement action, the defendants formally requested the town's code enforcement officer to remove the limitation from their occupancy permit. The defendants appealed the code enforcement officer's denial of this request to the ZBA. After the ZBA also denied their request, they timely appealed in 1991 to the superior court under RSA 677:4 (the ZBA appeal).
In 1994, while both the ZBA appeal and the enforcement action were pending, the defendants obtained a voluntary nonsuit in the ZBA appeal. The town subsequently filed a motion in limine in the zoning enforcement action seeking to exclude evidence that the defendants' use of the property was a preexisting nonconforming use under the local zoning ordinance. The defendants objected and, two days later, sought to revive the ZBA appeal pursuant to RSA 508:10 (1983).
The trial court granted the town's in limine motion, concluding, without reference to the revival action, that the effect of the voluntary nonsuit was to let the judgment of the ZBA "stand as if no appeal had been taken." In a separate order, the court ruled that the doctrine of res judicata prevented revival of the ZBA appeal under RSA 508:10, distinguishing our decision in Doggett v. Town of North Hampton, 138 N.H. 744, 645 A.2d 673 (1994). The defendants appealed, arguing that the trial court erred in granting the town's in limine motion and in denying their attempt to revive the ZBA appeal under RSA 508:10. The trial court transferred these issues for our interlocutory review.
The resolution of both issues depends on whether the judgment resulting from the defendants' voluntary nonsuit in their ZBA appeal constituted a final judgment on the merits. We analyze this issue first with reference to RSA 508:10.
RSA 508:10 provides: "If judgment is rendered against the plaintiff in an action brought within the time limited therefor, or upon a writ of error thereon, and the right of action is not barred by the judgment, a new action may be brought thereon in one year after the judgment." RSA 508:10 would serve, in the instant case, to allow the defendants to revive their ZBA appeal after the voluntary nonsuit dismissal and after the limitations period has run, so long as "the right of action . . . is not
. . . barred by the first judgment." Milford Quarry &c. Co. v. Railroad, 78 N.H. 176, 177, 97 A. 982, 983 (1916); see Berg v. Kelley, 134 N.H. 255, 257, 590 A.2d 621, 622 (1991).
In general, a voluntary nonsuit "arises from the plaintiff's choice and has no conclusive effect on the merits of the underlying action." 5 R. Wiebusch, New Hampshire Practice, Civil Practice and Procedure 1062 (1984); see Foster v. Bedell, 136 N.H. 728, 730, 621 A.2d 936, 937, cert. denied, 510 U.S. 844 (1993). Because "a former judgment is not conclusive upon a matter in issue unless the judgment was on the merits," Barton v. Barton, 125 N.H. 433, 434, 480 A.2d 199, 200 (1984) (quotation omitted), "[a] voluntary nonsuit, if allowed by the court, is not a bar to a second action," Foster, 136 N.H. at 730, 621 A.2d at 937; see Milford Quarry, 78 N.H. at 177, 97 A. at 983.
We initially reject the trial court's reliance on Appeal of Nolan, 134 N.H. 723, 599 A.2d 112 (1991), in concluding that the defendants' voluntary nonsuit was preclusive on the merits of the ZBA appeal. The trial court correctly stated the well-settled rule of law that "[t]he effect of a nonsuit taken after an appeal is to let the judgment of the court below `stand as if no appeal had been taken.'" Id. at 730, 599 A.2d at 117 (quoting Simpson v. Gafney, 66 N.H. 477, 477, 30 A. 1120, 1120 (1891)). An "appeal," as that word was used in Nolan, refers to an appeal of a judgment to the supreme court, not an administrative appeal pursuant to a statute such as RSA 677:4. See Nolan, 134 N.H. at 729-30, 599 A.2d at 116-17 (in administrative context, discussing rules applicable to "civil voluntary nonsuit"); Simpson, 66 N.H. at 477, 30 A. at 1121 (finding effect of voluntary nonsuit after supreme court appeal of probate court decree to be for decree to "stand as if no appeal had been taken"). This point is borne out by Doggett, in which we held RSA 508:10 available to a plaintiff whose ZBA appeal was dismissed after more than four years on the superior court docket. Doggett, 138 N.H. at 745-46, 645 A.2d at 675. We concluded that a ZBA "appeal" under RSA 677:4 was an "action" under RSA 508:10, and thus could be revived by RSA 508:10. See Doggett, 138 N.H. at 746-47, 645 A.2d at 675. RSA 508:10 applies to ZBA appeals brought pursuant to RSA 677:4, such as the instant case. Doggett, 138 N.H. at 746-47, 645 A.2d at 675.
Aside from the Nolan question, the trial court concluded that our decision in Doggett did not control the instant case, stating that "[t]he distinguishing difference between Doggett and the case at hand is the matter of the voluntary non-suit which plaintiffs requested and received in [the ZBA appeal]." In Doggett, we concluded that RSA 508:10 applied to allow revival of a ZBA appeal after the plaintiff's appeal in superior court had been dismissed for lack of prosecution "after almost five years had elapsed with no action on the case docket." Doggett, 138 N.H. at 745, 645 A.2d at 674. Considering RSA 508:10's sole test, i.e., "whether the right of action is, or is not, barred by the first judgment," Hughes v. Hebert, 106 N.H. 176, 178, 207 A.2d 432, 433 (1965) (quotation omitted), we see no reason to treat a voluntary nonsuit any differently than a dismissal for failure to prosecute. Unless specifically provided for by the parties or by the court, neither sort of dismissal constitutes "a final judgment on the merits, conclusive as to the rights of the parties and their privies, . . . constitut[ing] an absolute bar to subsequent litigation involving the same cause of action." Innie v. W & R, Inc., 116 N.H. 315, 316, 359 A.2d 616, 617 (1976); see Doggett, 138 N.H. at 746-47, 645 A.2d at 675; Foster, 136 N.H. at 730, 621 A.2d at 937.
Finally, we have stated that a voluntary nonsuit should be considered "with prejudice," barring a plaintiff's attempt to revive the previous action, when granting the revival would be "manifestly unjust to the other side." Total Service, Inc. v. Promotional Printers, Inc., 129 N.H. 266, 268, 525 A.2d 273, 275 (1987) (quotation and emphasis omitted); see 24 Am. Jur. 2d Dismissal 12, at 12 (1983). Because the parties have not had an opportunity to litigate this issue, it may be considered upon remand.
Accordingly, should it be found that the voluntary nonsuit in this case was without prejudice, then RSA 508:10 would authorize the defendants to revive their ZBA appeal. In addition, under those circumstances, because the ZBA decision does not "stand as if no appeal had been taken," see Nolan, 134 N.H. at 730, 599 A.2d at 117, the town's motion in limine should not have been granted on the grounds that the issue had been finally litigated.
Reversed and remanded.
All concurred.

The Persian is a very distinctive cat. With its unique morphology, he is one of the most famous cat out there. His adorable personality makes him the perfect companion for the first time cat owner. His unique traits are also important to take into account when choosing the right food. What will satisfy the needs of this little beast? We carefully selected the brand(s) that provide the best cat food for Persians.
Our selection
Straight to the point: here is our selection of the best cat food for Persians. Click on the product to see customer reviews and prices directly on Amazon. If you are curious to know why we chose those foods, keep reading 'til the end.
|Blue Buffalo Hairball and Weight Management
|Taste of the wild
|Best Feline Friend Cat Food
You could also try Royal Canin special Persian, the shape of the kibble might make it easier for your little beast to eat. Customers seem satisfied with this product, however, the main ingredients do not seem of great quality… No real meat as first ingredient and plenty of cheap fillers… (See our article on meat by products).
The Persian in a Nutshell
- Weight: 6 to 12 pounds
- Life expectancy: 11 to 15 years
- Morphology: brachycephalic face (flat and round face), short and sturdy legs.
- Coat: Silky and fine. Long, luxurious coat, with a dense undercoat (daily care required)
- Character: Loving, peaceful, good-natured, docile, quiet
- Health problems: Hairballs, Polycystic kidney disease (40% of them), corneal sequestrum, Sensitive respiratory system, fleas (hard to get rid of with that long hair).
The best cat food for Persians: Explanation on our selection
You probably noticed that a Persian takes more time to eat than other cats. One of the reasons is that they use the bottom of their tongue to grab their food. We believe that the shape of the kibble does not change a thing, they just need to take their time to absorb their food (Royal Canin's kibble shape is just a marketing technique to get you to buy their stuff). They do eat a lot anyways, they just need this extra time! It is common for Persians to get a bit chubby as they age. It is then very important to carefully monitor their weight.
They need the perfect combination of nutrients to support their long thick coat. It is also very important that the food you select contributes to fight against hairballs: with such luxurious fur, Persians tend to ingest a lot more hair than any other cats.
Two important criteria are important to take into account for your Persian:
- Hairball control
- Weight management
And we have found that those two criteria is exactly what Blue Buffalo Wilderness provides. Not only this, but this unique food comes with all the essentials required by your feline friend:
- Real meat as first ingredient: this unique cat food provides all the proteins required by your beast
- No grains: cheap grain is used as a filler in most commercial brands but Blue Buffalo focuses on what matters and leaves the rest aside
- Blend of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants: just what your beast needs!
If you have a Persian kitten, you may want to start with this one. Same brand, same outstanding quality but for a healthy development.
What about wet cat food?
Yes, you are right, a proper diet should mix both dry and wet cat food. Everything is explained here in our very thorough guide. If you want to treat your cat with what's best we suggest the best feline canned cat food. Made only with natural ingredients, tested by cat lovers and experts, we are (almost) sure your Persian will love it and it will bring some variety in his daily diet.
How about homemade meals?
If you want what's best for your Persian, the best way is simply to make his food with fresh ingredients carefully selected. It takes more time but it's definitely worth the extra effort. We do not always have time to do so but we do cook often for our Yoda, and he LOVES IT! Every cat owner we know who transitioned to the raw diet saw an outstanding difference in the look of their cat. Check out how to do it here.
Final thoughts: the right food for your Persian
In addition to feeding your Persian right, do not forget to provide him with a fresh bowl of water at all times, especially if his main diet consists essentially of dry kibble.
Do not overfeed your Persian as it may result in serious health problems on the long run. I know it's tempting to give him what he loves but it is very important to train him at a young age not to eat too much. You will save his life!
Thanks a lot for following us on Fluffy Kitty, please let us know what you think and what you feed your Persian. What do you think is the best cat food for Persians? If you have any other recommendation, please share it with us, the cat lover community!

Riding the coattails of a recovering economy, CRM software will post steady growth beginning in the first half of this year, predicts AMR Research. This and other CRM-related findings released today gave the CRM community a much-needed boost after a brutal 2001, highlighted by massive failure rates of CRM projects.
AMR believes CRM sales will enjoy a modest but healthy 20 percent growth rate this year. Already, IT budgets are being freed up, says Kevin Scott, analyst at AMR Research, and so deals stalled for the past 12 to 18 months now have a chance of getting signed. Scott was especially upbeat given surprisingly rosy Q4 2001 figures from CRM vendors, in particular, a 12 percent increase in revenue from sector leader Siebel Systems.
But the growth rate is tempered by cautiousness throughout the sector, says Scott. For the most part, CRM customers will be looking for modular rollouts rather than multi-million dollar, enterprise-wide systems. Among CRM's many modules, sales force automation, marketing automation, customer analytics, contact center and Web self-service are the best bets this year. A relative newcomer to this group, enhanced lead management, is also gaining traction. "The challenge for CRM vendors will be to take a more phased approach, as well sell to the C-level executive that's now involved in the buying process," says Scott. "The horror stories of yesteryear didn't help any."
So what's on executives' minds when it comes to CRM? At least in part, the answer is security. In a recent report, Gartner Group found that "40 percent of enterprises that have already installed CRM solutions will rethink them, with an emphasis on balancing privacy with increasing pressure to support personalization."
Scott also advises CRM vendors to key on certain vertical industries, in part to speak to the business-savvy executive and to maximize sales. For instance, vendors of sales force automation software tuned to the chemical industry stand to prosper over generalists. In AMR's survey, 54 percent of overall respondents said they were considering sales force automation software; but virtually all chemical-company respondents said they were looking at a sales force automation system.
The emphasis on vertically-focused modules bodes well for best-of-breed vendors, says Scott. But these smaller vendors remain vulnerable to being gobbled up by CRM's bigger suite vendors. Earlier this month, for instance, PeopleSoft bought Annuncio, an e-marketing software specialist. Consolidation will continue in the first half of this year, says Scott, while companies are still considered undervalued. Campaign management and analytics software vendors are other big acquisition targets because their applications' functionality can be integrated relatively easily into larger offerings, Scott says.
Unlike other e-business initiatives that were swept up in hype only to fall from lofty heights, CRM has staying power, says Scott. Then again, anything that promises to boost the top line has sex appeal. On the flip side, cost-cutting software such as supply-chain management and e-procurement has "lost a bit of the glamour, hitting middle-age" with attendant sags and wrinkles, says Scott, adding, "With CRM, though, we're seeing interest across the board in both customer size and industry, from conglomerates to $30 million manufacturers of pig troughs."
