Samsung N130 Netbook Review
In the world we live in, portability is becoming more and more one of the top decision-making factors on how we purchase electronics. The biggest and baddest hardware you have was once a thing to show off, however, now portability is taking the cake. Now it is all about being more portable, while keeping that cutting edge. Before it was all about speed, as well, and now we want to see more battery performance for those long trips. Netbooks are making a good leap into the technological world. They are highly portable, which allow us to take them everywhere without having to lug a heavy device with us everywhere, keeping us tied down. They are designed to bridge the gap between your heavier notebook computers and the ever popular smart phones, so that you can be more productive and enjoy your time away from an outlet. To keep the balance of power and battery life, manufacturers select specially manufactured components to design their systems, in order to give you what you need. There are many netbook manufacturers that design netbooks, most with similar components, and then they add their own secrets to improve on the technology, to keep them competitive. Today, we are going to be taking a look at a netbook from Samsung, which is the N130. This netbook uses the Intel Atom processor for decent processing while remaining mobile with a long battery life. Let's take a look at the Samsung N130 a bit closer and see what makes it have its edge.
Closer Look:
When I got the package, I thought to myself, man that box is small. Even when I received my Samsung Q310 Notebook, which is 13 inches, the packaging was a lot bigger almost the size you would see on a 17 inch notebook. I was so intrigued that I could not wait to get this netbook opened and out of the packaging. The box has the same look that their notebooks have, which is a generic-looking packaging with the model sticker attached, with all of the information on it. Once you get the box open, there are two parts inside. There is the netbook wrapped in a foam pouch and the accessory box.
The accessory box has the necessary tools to get you up and running with your new netbook. Inside there are the instruction booklets and the warranty information, as well as the power adapter brick and wall plug. There is also the battery for the netbook. The N130 comes standard with a 6-cell 4000MAh battery, which Samsung claims will allow you to surf the web for up to six hours on a single charge. Unfortunately, Samsung did not include any extras such as the sleeve to protect your new netbook like they had on previous models like the NC10.
Now that we have the items out, let's take a better look at the unit itself.

I thought it was pretty clear I'm also a foreigner to the US, at least.

Sorry to say it Ann-Minh but you are not famous (or I have not read this forum enough, take your pick) so I have no direct way of knowing your nationality. I think the way you tried to implying you weren't from the USA was too vague, from what I read in this thread I thought it was clearly implied you were from the USA. That is why I clearly state my location, even though I know some people might look at my comments differently due to prejudice.
I still stand for what I said, whoever is the next potus affects mankind for the next four years and therefore is of interest to the average person (for the same reasons there is a growing worldwide interest in who is going to be the next president of china) unlike other world leaders who most of the world do not care about (i.e. the EU president? I have no idea) since it affects little every bodies daily lives.
But TBT it is a hassle to rewrite my prior posts to acknowledge that I now know you are not from the USA.

your interest for their domestic policies is mostly academic. The Americans (WE) are the ones who have to live with them.
My mistake, nevertheless.

Sometimes, if you've alienated everyone in the room, you just might have to consider the notion your ideas may suck.
Can't wait to run into one of the petition gatherers, because that's going to be my line.

They're just throwing a fit, no one is stupid enough to actually secede from the US of A. Even if they did I bet they would be begging to be let back after a single weekend as they all crash into anarchy and they finally figure out just how much each of their states actually depends on Government and being united with the other states.
Are any of them even informed or have they tricked themselves into disbelief that they don't need anyone and that everything will magically be a million times better if they were all alone and not a part of the USA?
I also find it funny how the top commenter said that 8,000 people have signed it and thus it should have merit. Pretty sure any of those states are far larger than 8,000 and i doubt there are enough idiots around that actually think this is a good idea. It's just an angry mob, they'll calm down eventually once they regain their senses.
Not surprised though that many of the ones posting in support of it there seem to be highly religious(constantly invoking their Gods name in vain. Have they no shame? Not all Christians are Republican yet they act like they are!) and keep saying the country is screwed or lost it's way because the Republicans didn't win. There are also many hateful comments pointed towards Obama and Liberals in General. The sad thing is that they really think only Liberals and Atheists(Or anything non-Christian) voted for Obama.

Yeah, let's break America into pieces because an election didn't turn out the way we wanted.
I'm getting sick of these people. Yet again, they are screaming and crying and kicking and flailing and pointing their fingers every-which-way, blaming all sorts of people, and then how many of them realize their political party of choice needs to improve a lot and how many of them are demanding that the republican party improves and gets their act together? Seems like hardly any of them.

What gets me is all the people that say "Obama be taking our rights away, he's a communist!". Yet when asked they never say what rights Obama has taken away from them or why they believe Obama is a communist. They also seem to be denouncing minorities and calling them freeloaders and handout babies. Have they forgotten that the Government is handing out to everyone(No matter who they are just as long as they are in need) whether they know it or not? I wonder how well those agricultural states would do during droughts without the Government having their back.

Anyway, foreigners are primarily concerned with US foreign policy, not domestic policy. If Obama wanted to nationalize all of the US's Oil and Gas industry, I don't think most would care.
We're mostly worried about whether the US will invade countries, and drag us into it. The last president was a bit unstable in that respect.
This might surprise many, but before him, America was fairly loved.
Obama is liked because he works with other countries and doesn't shove America's policies down their throats. Obama understands that America's network of Allies (not just Israel!) are just as important (if not more so) then all it's aircraft carriers and stealth bombers.
Romey labelled Obama's much needed consensus building as an "Apology Tour", which really isn't the right attitude to international diplomacy. If you want to see it all, just look at Libya, where the US lead a force composed of all it's European allies (who are still it's most important), compare that to Iraq, where two of their most important allies, France and Germany, decided to wait it out.
If Obama had been a Romney, I could easily just see him burning all of America's ties with it's allies (We don't need them, we're the strongest country EVAR! They should get into line like good little Satellites...). If this cooling was sustained, you could easily see the collapse of NATO, a bad thing for all involved.

The deficit (chicken)hawks wanted their deficit solutions for so long, well here it is, now they're all flustered and scared and I'm thinking we might as well just ride down the so-called cliff with Thelma and Louise. Make a pretty bonfire of all the economic deadwood.
Oh, sure, it'll shock the economy right back into another round of recession and send the recovery crashing. So what. This was another demand driven recovery anyway and it was bound to fail, if not now then years down the road.
Not to mention it'll call the bluff on the favorite Republican strategy of "Nice little country you've got there. Shame if anything happened to it." So bring it on.
[/Internet tough guy act, add two spoonfuls of sarcasm]
[/Yes, I'm actually worried about the possibility of an immediate austerity shock (that worked so well in Europe). But, also yes, I'm a little more worried the President will surrender the election triumph for another "compromise" with the "defeated" GOP. Enough is enough.]

The British Red Cross are calling on families from Heanor and Ripley to paint Derbyshire red and take part in their brand new Red Shoe Walk.
The walk is set to take place on Saturday 7 June starting from Edale Village Hall, covering an overall total of 8 miles.
Participants of all ages will be asked to dress in red and will be encouraged to wear either a pair of free red shoe covers or their own red shoes.
The event forms part of a series of Red Shoe Walks across the country for the charity's annual Red Cross Week, which aims to raise £1million for British Red Cross work at home and overseas.
Local British Red Cross fundraiser, Alex Gadsby, says: "The Red Shoe Walk launched in London last year and huge a great success, attracting over 400 participants.
"This year we want more even people to join in the fun, and so decided to extend the event across the country. No matter your age or where you live there is a Red Shoe Walk to suit you – the Derbyshire event being our closest and in my opinion as a Belper lass, the most beautiful!
"It really is a great day out for the whole family and a great opportunity to raise some money for the Red Cross."
Everyone who takes part will receive a free pair of red shoe covers, a fundraising pack full of tips and advice of how to raise as much as possible, as well as maps and directions for the challenge. Those who raise £100 or more will receive an exclusive Red Cross t-shirt as a memento of their achievement.

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner Moeller Statement
February 21, 2013
Docket Nos. ER13-83-000 & ER13-88-000
Item No. E-2
Order No. 1000 Compliance Filing for Duke-Progress and Yadkin
When Order No. 1000 was first proposed three years ago, I promised to do my part to ensure that this Commission does not lose sight of the ultimate goal: a final rule that results in needed capital investment.1 As my top policy priority, a [r]obust electric transmission infrastructure is the ultimate enabling energy technology, as it can provide a more efficient electric system, enhanced reliability, increased access to less expensive and often cleaner resources, and the ability to harness location-constrained renewable resources.2 In contrast, the lack of adequate transmission investments often disproportionately raises consumer rates due to congestion, threatens the reliability of the nations bulk power system, and increases reliance on older and dirtier generating resources.3
When Order No. 1000 was adopted, I dissented in part, based upon a concern that instead of encouraging more regional cooperation, the rule could ultimately discourage such cooperation.4 Yet a region with only one transmission owner obviously cannot cooperate with another transmission owner in that region. While some special-purpose companies do own transmission, if that company would never have a need to build long-distance transmission lines, that company does not convert a region with one transmission owner into a region with two competitors. Competition drives prices lower and increases efficiencies, and two or more companies competing to design and build the best transmission system will tend to build better projects at lower cost than a single company.
Todays order is our first major order on compliance with Order No. 1000. As we consider issues on compliance, the Commission recognizes that each transmission planning region has unique characteristics and, therefore, [Order No. 1000] accords transmission planning regions significant flexibility to tailor regional transmission planning and cost allocation processes to accommodate these regional differences.5 As stated in Order No. 1000, [w]e have stressed throughout this proceeding that we intend to be flexible and are open to a variety of approaches to compliance.6 Moreover, we recognize that regional flexibility is not an empty offer:
The Commission recognizes and intends that several approaches to cost allocation may satisfy the principles adopted in this Final Rule. If it were otherwise, the offer of regional flexibility would be an empty offer.7
Thus, flexibility will be a hallmark of the manner in which we address the mandates of Order No. 1000 on compliance.
Yet the matter before us is a clear case of non-compliance with a basic element of Order No. 1000, so this is not a decision that requires us to grant the flexibility that is obligated by the provisions of Order No. 1000.
Accordingly, I respectfully concur.
1 Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation by Transmission Owning and Operating Public Utilities, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 32,660 (2010), Commissioner Moeller, concurring.
2 Id.
3 Id.

With this post I begin a series of blog posts covering one of the most talked about features of SQL Server 2012: Tabular Modeling. Being new to this like most of us are, I hope to learn much about Tabular Modeling as we walk through the basics of building your first Tabular Model. In this installment, we'll talk about what a Tabular Model is, when a Tabular Model is the right choice, and of course how to create a Tabular Model.
What is a Tabular Model?
With the release of SQL 2012, we are (re)introduced to tabular modeling. If you're familiar with Power Pivot, you're going to notice many similarities and will most likely pick up the tabular modeling aspect of SSAS pretty quickly. Basically a Tabular Model is an in-memory database in SQL Server Analysis Services. The Vertipag engine that was previously only used in Power Pivot is now utilized within Power Pivot and SSAS 2012 Tabular as xVelocity. The xVelocity technology allows you to perform complex analytics of your data all in-memory while making use of column store indexes. This eliminates expensive IO unlike SSAS Multi Dimensional Modeling where IO is a viable concern.
The Tabular Model also allows us to bring together multiple data source types very easily, similarly to Power Pivot. Bringing together data stored in a SQL Server Database, Oracle, Excel, and Access is not only possible but straight forward.
Once you've imported your data from whatever sources you need, defining relationships is very easy. Simply dragging and clicking an arrow from one object to another is all that is required here.
When Do I Choose Tabular Over Multidimensional Modeling?
You might be asking yourself, "Self, if Tabular is so fast and great, why would I ever use Multidimensional Modeling?" That's a valid question, so lets go over some of the perks of each and when one or the other would the optimal choice.
1. If you need access to many different external data sources, choose Tabular. Multidimensional can do this to an extent, but if you need to relate an Excel spread sheet, a text file, an SSRS Report Feed, and your database data, Tabular is the way to go here.
2. If you need complex calculations, scoping, and named sets, choose Multidimensional.
3. If you need mind numbing speed and consistently fast query time, choose Tabular.
4. If you need Many-to-Many relationships, choose Multidimensional. You can model this relationship type in Tabular, but Multidimensional is still easier to create and manage these more complex relationships.
5. If you are planning on using Power View, choose Tabular. At this time its impossible to build Power View reports against a Multidimensional model, but that could change in the future.
6. If you don't know DAX and want to use Tabular, either take the time to learn or use Multidimensional ; ) .
7. If your solution requires complex modeling, choose Multidimensional.
Take these points into consideration when choosing Tabular vs. Multidimensional. This isn't every single consideration to think about, but should at least get you started in understanding the differences between Tabular and Multidimensional.
How Do I Create a Tabular Model?
So now that we have a general understanding of what the Tabular Model is and what are some of scenarios we should choose to use the Tabular Model, lets start creating our first Tabular Model.
For you to play along with my example, you're going to SSAS 2012 installed in Tabular Mode.
If you're not sure if your instance of AS is in Tabular Mode, just connect to Analysis Services in SQL Server Management Studio and look at the icons next to your instance of SSAS.
The Tabular SSAS instance has the nifty little blue icon and the Multidimensional instance has the same icon as before in 2008.
You will also need SQL Server Data Tools and the AdventureWorksDW2012 sample database.
So first things first. Open SQL Server Data Tools.
Then go to File, select New, then click Project.
Under Business Intelligence, highlight Analysis Services, and select Analysis Services Tabular Project. I'm naming my project FirstTabularProject. Then click OK.
After clicking OK you can see the new project in the Solution Explorer with an empty model, Model.bim.
With the project created, your empty model should be open in the Designer Window. So now its time to create a connection to our data source(s). In the top left of the menu tool bar, click the Import From Data Source icon.
Then select the type of data source you want to connect to. In my case, I'm connecting to a SQL Server database. Select Microsoft SQL Server and click Next. Specify the Server name, the credentials, and the Database.
After clicking Next, we must specify the Impersonation Information. These are the credentials that Analysis Services will use to access the data source when importing and processing the data. We can either specify specific credentials or tell it to you use the AS Service Account. I'm specifying credentials.
On the next screen, we need to choose how to import the data. We have two options: We can either select from a list of the tables and views which objects we'd like to import or we can write a query to specify the data to import. I'm selecting from the list of tables.
On the Select Tables and Views screen, you'll see a list of the Tables and Views in your database. I can browse through this list and places checks next to all the tables and views I'd like to import. Or I can select a table and then click the button Select Related Tables. This will use the referential integrity of the database to determine which tables to check for you. Be careful clicking Select Related Tables. If you accidently click the button and the wizard selects 20 other tables, there's no easy way to unselect the newly selected tables. I've selected FactInternetSales and allowed the wizard to select the dimensions based on the referential integrity.
Before clicking Finish, you'll want to make sure that you highlight each table you want to import and then click the Preview & Filter button. This will allow you to not only preview the data, but also uncheck any fields that you do not wish to import into your model. This is important since the database will be stored in memory. We do not want to store any unnecessary data that we do not have to. You can see that I've gone through the FactInternetSales table and unchecked the fields I don't want to import.
After filtering out the unnecessary fields, click Finish. The importing of the data will begin.
Once it is finished, click Close. You'll notice the data has been imported and is now viewable in the Designer Window.
If after importing your data you decide you need to bring in another table from the same data source, click the Existing Connections icon.
Then click Open and you are able to add new tables, views, or named queries to your model.
In the Designer Window we have two views. The Grid view allows us to see the imported data, with each table on an individual tab.
We can also switch to the Diagram View by clicking the Diagram View icon at the bottom right of the Designer Window. The Diagram View is ideal for viewing all the imported tables and their relationships at one time.
So now that we've imported in our data, we need to add some measures to our model. Switch back to the Grid view and click over to the tab for the fact table, FactInternetSales. Select the first text box in the Measures Grid directly below the Sales Amount field. If the Measures Grid is not visible, just click the Show Measures Grid icon to toggle it back on.
After highlighting the text box beneath the Sales Amount field, click the Sum (Sigma) icon. This will automatically create a measure with an aggregation type of Sum. Then go into the properties of your new measure and give it a friendly name since this is the name that your users will see when browsing the cube.
Then do the same for the Order Quantity field.
Now lets deploy and process our model. By default, the model will be deployed to default instance of SSAS on the local machine. We can change the server we want to deploy to by right-clicking the project in the Solution Explorer and selecting properties. You can also change the name of the database that will be created when you deploy the Model.
In the Menu bar, click Build, then click Deploy ;.
This will begin the deployment and processing steps. If you specified specific credentials to use for impersonation, you'll need to enter the user's password during this step.
Once the model is deployed, we can now view our model deployed to the AS server and browse it with Excel. Click the Analyze in Excel icon and your model will open in Excel so you can browse it.
We've created our first Tabular Model. I hope this gives you a good introduction on what Tabular is, when Tabular is the right choice, and the basics of creating a Tabular Model.
In the next article, we'll get more into modifying our model by building hierarchies in our dimensions and other more advanced topics so stay tuned for the next article. And as always, post any questions or comments here and I'll answer them as best I can.

"A house is made of sticks and stone, but a home is made of love alone," said Frank Oliver, owner of Hardesty Grocery, as he looked around at his grandchildren who gathered in his store.
"A house is made of sticks and stone, but a home is made of love alone," said Frank Oliver, owner of Hardesty Grocery, as he looked around at his grandchildren who gathered in his store.
Charli Hull, Frank's youngest daughter, said they grew up in a loving home. She said her dad is the most giving, generous and encouraging man she's ever met.
"It is a privilege to have my dad as my dad," she said.
The walls of Hardesty Grocery are filled with pictures taken throughout time of the Oliver family and friends. The tally for Frank's grandchildren stands at 21 and he said with a smile, "some great-grandchildren in the works."
Not only did Frank and his wife, who have been married for 52 years, have four biological children but they also had three foster children that Charli said they treated as their own. She said he was a dad to a lot of kids that didn't have dads in their lives. He would drive as many kids home as he could after skating and ice cream, she said. Frank has always loved hockey and ice-skating, she said.
Franki Hull, 14, was named after her grandfather. She said he greets everyone with a smile and remembers everyone he meets.
"He calls people by name," she said.
Charli said her family grew up learning customer service and respect from her father. She said all the kids and grandkids grew up working in the store and through that learned to count change and grew personal relationship skills.
They all agree that Frank stands by one of his favorite sayings which is, "A good businessman always has a pen and a smile."
Murphi Sparkman, 21, is also one of Frank's grandchildren. She said she would have to agree with Charli on the fact that her grandfather is a great role model because of his people skills and sense of humor.
"He's so funny…his stories are the best…he's got lots of jokes," she said.
Mayci Sparkman, 19, another of Frank's grandchildren, said he jokes with customers sometimes like referring to ice as 'frozen water' and asking them if they still want some since it's frozen.
The family members all agree that Frank is a modest, humble man who doesn't like to brag.
"He is the sweetest man ever," said Murphi. "I've only seen him mad maybe two times....he's very positive."
Frank's granddaughters agree that they all got their good hair and athleticism from him but most importantly a good work ethic.
"If you wanted to see dad, this [the store] is where you came," Charli said.
Murphi responded with, "Unless it's Sunday, then he's in his chair."
Charli said they grew up going to church every Sunday and then her dad would sit in his chair in the afternoon.
Dane Oliver, 10, one of Frank's grandsons, agrees that Frank works all the time and loves his store.
"He's crazy…he works 24/7," he said.
Along with working at the store, Charli said her dad has a breakfast club that meets and eats in the store with him and Frank even came to the store to take shelter from the recent tornadoes because he said the office was safer than his home.
Frank said he loves to read the newspaper and keep up with what all is happening.
"He knows so much about everything," Mayci said.
She said her grandfather reads every paper and remembers everything he reads.
"He reads every word of every paper he gets and keeps all the articles," Charli said.
Above all else, Charli said her dad loves his family and especially his grandchildren.
"He is definitely proud of his grandkids," she said.
Frank said out of all the furniture in his home, he would have to say his favorite is the kitchen table. He said the table is where your kids do their homework, the family eats together and prays together, and most importantly, talks to each other.

Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Phil Keaggy, Second Chapter of Acts, John Fischer, The Way, Oak Ridge Boys, Elvis, "Gospel," holy hymns, church choirs, "sacred" music, Young Life Songs and Creations spiral songbook. . .it was, and is, an endless composition of brain-saturation. I listened to countless hours of it, went to concerts, bought the albums, met some of the "artists" like Stonehill, Fischer, Barry McGuire, Yohann Anderson and others. Believe it or not, I once sang in an 8000-voice choir at a Billy Graham Crusade in Seattle! I sang in a church choir and in the chapel choir at my christian college. I was basically addicted to "God's music" and rarely listened to anything else (except Carole King, James Taylor, John Denver and a bit of YES). Yes, pretty poor for the seventies, with all that great rock and roll. . .then again, I was a Jesus Freak ready and waiting to get to heaven to be with The Master as soon as possible. Can anyone relate to this? Godness, I hope so.
I would be fascinated to hear from others in the non-theist community who continue to be "haunted" by the music, the songs, the "message" that plays endlessly from that era. Were you ever in the Christian Music culture? Amazing how it saturates your brain. Yes, there were some catchy tunes and some powerfully emotional words. . .with some awful theology and fearfully brain-damaging lyrics. Thankfully I emerged from the emotional cloud sometime around college when I studied philosophy and world religions, but I have to admit, there are songs that still creep back, I smile or cringe or change the words to make them relevant to a non-supernatural worldview, or let them fade. Any comments?

I may have a different take on this. As a musician and former Evangelical, I understand and appreciate the "soundtrack" of my indoctrination. It took me a few years of estrangement, but I was eventually able to enjoy CCM and Southern Gospel as art forms separate from any religious meaning. I have even bought a few albums in recent years, although I prefer to "lift" songs from the internet to avoid funding ministries. In short, enjoy whatever music you like, regardless of the message. Rational thought is the ultimate cure for brain-washing.
Also, I'm certainly checking out The Humanist Hymnal. Thanks Grinning Cat.
If you haven't already, take a look at my video on Youtube.Music in worship services It deals with some of your question and observations. I also talk about how music works in a chapter of The God Virus.
Darrel, founder of Recovering from Religion and author of The God Virus.
I saw Debby Boone and her family at one of the sports stadiums in KC when I was a kid. My mom had all the christian and gospel music anyone could ever hope to hear.
Then, later, I was exposed to the "all music except hymns are tools of the devil" movement. Reading lyrics that were specially selected to make sure they sufficiently shocked everyone in my local Baptist church. As I look back on it now, I think it is funny how some of the things they taught back then had great shock value, and were intended to scare us into continued belief in some pretty unbelievable things.
I remember some religious movies at the time that were pretty scary too. The whole Thief In The Night series made me too scared to even miss church for a while. Glad I got over it....
When pieces of a Christian song play through my mind, it's like finding something I owned from long ago, no longer useful or relevant, but a reminder of who I was in the past. The songs I remember best are the ones that really resonated with my personal experiences and how I felt and thought about the world. Such as...
Obnoxious rock and roll songs about evangelism by the newsboys.
An intriguing song called soul by sixpence none the richer about a troubled Christian woman wondering whether her deceased father made it into heaven or not.
A plethora of worship songs from various artists that would sometimes bring tears to my eyes.
When Christian songs come into my head, I "listen" to them, remember why they were important to me, and let them go. We were who we were, and I think it's reasonable for us to accept that some traces of our Christian upbringings will follow us throughout our atheist lives. Even pieces of our old favorite tunes!

GCE: 'Broken Promises' on the 30th Anniversary of the Day of the African Child
16 June 2006 - In Africa today over 40 million children are living with the consequences of broken promises - the promise of being able to go to school. Two thirds of all children in Africa will not complete five years of education.
The worlds leaders have made this promise time and time again. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Education for All Goals, the Millennium Development Goals and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child all endorse childrens right to complete a basic education of good quality.
Time is running out for the world to keep their promises
If all children are to complete primary education by 2015, they have to be enrolled in school by 2009 at the latest. That is why we must see action today. All governments must live up to the global compact that countries with good strategies would be fully financed by donor cash - to meet this goal immediately. Last weekend, the finance ministers of rich countries once again re-iterated the importance of Education For All. But they left the table without making any firm commitments of new money to realize this dream.
Donor governments must increase aid and cancel debt to African countries so that they can expand their education systems. As a first step must fill the EFA Fast Track Initiatives finance gap of $415 million to help 20 countries with 16 million children out of school deliver their education plans. And next month GCE demands the G8 to keep their promises and announce that they will provide full funding so that 100 million children around the world will not be left waiting at the school gates an amount of approximately $10 billion per year.
Governments in Africa must also play their part by increasing public spending on education in order to give every child the opportunity to go to school for free and to ensure they receive a quality education, with a well-trained, motivated teacher. On average Sub-Saharan Africa countries spend less money on education than on health or on defense.
The struggle for education continues
In South Africa the Day of the African Child 16th June, marks the 30 year anniversary of the Soweto uprisings. Thousands of children took to the streets in demand of equal education. Today those children and the brutal repression that followed will be remembered along with their demands.
It is not acceptable that in 2006 children in South Africa and across the continent find that their quality education is dependent on their class and their ability to pay. Children are often excluded or victimized from school because their parents are not able to pay for school fees and other costs, such as transport, learning materials and uniforms.
To remind South Africa that we have yet to reach our demands, GCE is putting the writing on the wall. In Soweto a large mural will be unveiled that depicts children campaigning for education 30 years ago and today with the words: 30 years later: the struggle for education continues
Broken promises of education have a high price to pay. There is overwhelming evidence that education particularly for girls can break the cycle of poverty and reduce the risk of HIV infection. Lacking education, children often have no choice other than a life of a child worker, child soldier, or street child.
Now is the time to keep our promises to education.
Notes to Editors:
Alex Kent 011 447 4111 or 076 428 5390
The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) has been campaigning to make the right to education a reality since 1999, across the world, and South Africa. The campaign is a coalition of teachers unions, child rights activities, NGOs and academics, and is now active in more than 110 countries. GCEs recent Global Action Week mobilized millions of campaigners who collected evidence for the need for more teachers, and made demands to politicians when they returned to school. www.campaignforeducation.org

It's obvious, I love music. I live and breath music and the more that I can offer up in God's service the sweeter it is and the more connected I feel. But today's music has been getting soft, nice, unoffending. Don't get me wrong, I like the music, but in a lot of cases there is no strength to it, no relational connection to Christ, kind of like music you could safely hear on secular radio, or love songs you could sing to your sweetheart. Much of the music has lost the edge, the edge of the sword.

PNNL discusses alternative energy options at AGU
News Release
December 04, 2012
At today's American Geophysical Union meeting, PNNL's Chuck Long will discuss how he and his colleagues are using total/diffuse pyranometers (instrument pictured on the table, to the right) to measure solar radiation and use that data to predict when solar power production will ramp up or down. Pictured here is Long's colleague on the project, Laura Riihimaki.
Scientists from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will present a variety of alternative energy-related research at the 2012 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, which runs Monday, Dec. 3 through Friday, Dec. 7 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. Topics to be discussed include improving solar power forecasting, measuring the resources needed to grow algae for biofuel and predicting the environmental impacts of ocean energy. Summaries of some of PNNL's noteworthy presentations are below.
The sun's fleeting nature has limited our ability to turn sunshine into electricity. While we can easily foretell when the sun will rise and fall each day, predicting the intermittent daytime shading created by continually morphing clouds is much more difficult. Repeated appearing and disappearing acts by clouds lead to large fluctuations in solar power generation, which makes balancing supply and demand on the power grid a challenge. But now PNNL scientists propose using a new approach to predict clouds from 5 minutes to about an hour ahead of time, giving grid operators a chance to adapt before solar power ramps up or down. Initially created for climate research, the approach uses an instrument called a total/diffuse pyranometer. Depending on their size, shape and thickness, clouds can affect light coming from the sun in many different ways to produce varying amounts of sunshine. Total/diffuse pyranometers enable scientists to measure direct and indirect solar radiation, both of which are used in different types of solar power generation. Next, the new approach uses a PNNL-developed method to forecast the clouds that will appear in the near future, what properties those clouds will have and how much direct and indirect solar radiation will make it past the clouds and onto the earth's surface. PNNL's Chuck Long will present the research.
A24E-04: "Near-term forecasting of solar total and direct irradiance for solar energy applications," 5-5:15 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 4, Room 3008, Moscone West.
Algae have been touted as a promising source of renewable fuel, but questions remain about whether the U.S. has the resources needed to grow it on a large scale. Ongoing PNNL research indicates that algal biofuel's sustainability can be increased by carefully analyzing the resources available at specific growing sites. Current efforts are building on earlier PNNL research, which involved developing a detailed map of the nation's freshwater and land resources to calculate algal biofuel production potential. PNNL researchers are digging deeper by also examining alternative water sources such as seawater, the nutrients needed to grow algae, real estate prices and costs to transport algal oil to existing refineries. The combined information will help determine the financial and environmental bottom lines of U.S. algal biofuel. PNNL's Mark Wigmosta will present a poster that describes early results, including that the Gulf Coast region generally has the nation's best water supplies and climate for growing algae.
H53H-1632: "A high-resolution national microalgae biofuel production and resource assessment," 1:40-6 p.m., Friday, Dec. 7, Hall A-C, Moscone South.
Extracting energy from the natural ebb and flow of the ocean's tides could help wean the world off of greenhouse gas-producing fossil fuels. But, with very few tidal power projects in existence, it's difficult to know how such efforts could affect the marine environment. To help answer that question, PNNL scientists developed a detailed, 3-D computer model of a hypothetical bay where seawater enters through a coastal channel. They added tidal turbines to the digitized channel and ran simulations to find out how water flow could be impacted. They found that installing large numbers of turbines can decrease the flushing rate — the amount of time it takes to replace the bay's water with new ocean water. The longer it takes to flush out a bay, the longer it takes to remove contaminants from river runoff and human activity. This could worsen the conditions of bays already experiencing low levels of dissolved oxygen. On the other hand, simulations also showed turbines increase mixing in the water column, which could breathe more life into a bay's lower waters by transporting more oxygen from the surface. PNNL's Taiping Wang will discuss the computer model and some of its simulation results.
OS53D-07: "A Modeling Study of In-stream Tidal Energy Extraction and Its Potential Environmental Impacts in a Tidal Channel and Bay System," 3:10-3:25 p.m., Friday, Dec. 7, Room 3024, Moscone West.

In order to better understand the Badas peat dome in Brunei, we needed to clear a path through the peat forest, stick monitoring pipes into the ground at several intervals and take measurements. Sounds simple doesn't it? Well, I've never been so wrong in my entire life.
Peat needs to stay waterlogged to conserve it, so it's essential to understand the hydrology of areas you want to maintain or restore. The first step is to install dipwells to monitor the water table levels and the subsidence rate of the peat soil. This is where I came in. Not being a hydrologist myself, I was not aware of what it took to install a dipwell. But thanks to the partnership between Wetlands International Malaysia and Brunei Shell Petroleum, I had the opportunity to experience the process (literally) from head to toe.
Day one – First experience and 50 metres of progress
Ronald and Dedi (peat experts from Deltares) and I were at the field site by 7 a.m. I was already tired just from looking at the field of ferns (more than two metres tall). We needed to clear a path to get to the forest and our 1.5 kilometre transect (excuse me? Are you sure you didn't mean 150 metres or 15 metres?).
Things went quite well at first. The weather was pleasant and I felt pretty cool hacking my way through the ferns with a machete (kind of like Jungle Jane). Some twenty minutes later, I wasn't so sure. Tiredness set in and the sun started to shine a little too brightly. The worst part was after all that hacking, we had only cleared 200 metres. Great, I thought, only 1,300 more to go.
Then, I felt it. A sharp pinch at the back of my neck, then another and another. We suddenly realised we had hacked into the path of a fire ant nest! Once they sink their tiny incisors into you, the ants never (I mean NEVER) let go. When I finally got home, they were still clinging onto my garments even though they were dead! Working under the scorching sun.
We succeeded in installing our first dipwell 50 metres from the road by augering (using a special tool to remove soil in a straight line down through the ground). And while it was pretty awesome to dig through the top layers of soil, it can get pretty dirty and tiring as you go deeper – where we encountered more wood and tree trunks. On many occasions, it took more than ten attempts (ten holes!) just to get to the mineral soil below the peat.
However, the challenge was just beginning as the next day we would be in the forest.
Day 2: 250 metres
Installing a dipwell in the forest is a totally different experience. Out in the open field, the biggest hazard is above – scorching hot sun – and the ants. In the forest, the hazards are beneath your feet and every step is a potential booby trap. Holes are hidden beneath leaves, roots silently wait to trip you, and fallen trees block your path.
First one done!
To make things even more challenging, imagine carrying 40-metre pipes or a 10 kilogram auger as you maneuver. The physical workout when trekking through a peatswamp forest is intense, not to mention the number of bruises I collected from falling over, or into holes. Some holes were so deep that I risked getting stuck waist-deep.
As we travelled further into the forest, it became more difficult to install the pipes as the amount of wood buried beneath the soil increased – at one point it took us 15 attempts for one pipe! We even had to abandon a pipe that got stuck in the ground.
Seven days to install six dipwells
Augering and installing dipwells in peat is very labour intensive. It took us a total of seven days to install six dipwells over 1.5 kilometres. Along the way, we endured many falls, bruises, mosquito bites and bee stings. But there was also a lot of laughter, teamwork and support.
And the results? These dipwells will monitor the water level and subsidence rate of the Badas peat dome over the course of the next year. And we already discovered that the peat layer is sometimes up to 10 metres thick - that's exceptional in comparison to the rapid decline of so many peat areas!

Apartment Therapy Attends Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 Event
It was about two years ago when Microsoft reached out to me as a someone already (in)famous for living without a cell phone for 5 years. Their pitch: give the new Windows Phone platform a try for a month and tell them what I thought. And from then on, I quietly began using a smartphone again. Fast forward to Monday this week and I found myself being courted to check out the latest from Redmond...
I first began using a Windows Phone-powered Samsung Focus, which proved to be a solid first smartphone, later switching to various bigger-better Windows Phone models (the HTC Titan being my favorite), occasionally inserting a few Android devices into the mix as I began reviewing smartphones for the site.
Today, I find myself amongst the myriad of Apple iPhone users, the fifth iteration my primary device. But as friends and colleagues have often heard me complain, I've always pined for the simplicity and informative versatility of what was once called the "Metro" live tile UI (now officially labeled as "Modern UI" by Microsoft), as I'm still beholden to the graphic charm and functional utility of the live tile language that first convinced me smartphones were actually getting smarter.
Still, the OS-previously-known-as-Metro was equal parts unrealized potential as it was hinting of something beyond the static iconographic user experience offered by either Android or iOS. Live tiles only partially or infrequently updated, and some of Windows Phone's quirks were further magnified by the mobile operating system's lack of developer support and mind-boggling hardware spec limitations (explained as a strategy to standardize the platform across manufacturers). There was just enough "hits" to offset the "misses" that I found myself becoming a newfound fan of the world's biggest underdog, Microsoft, but enough misses I became curious enough to explore beyond a monogamous commitment to sow my proverbial oats with a Galaxy here, an iPhone there.
This was my first Microsoft announcement event, and the press attending ranged from enthusiastic Windows Phone users to jaded iOS and Android entrenched devotees. Outside, before the show, I spoke to a few attendees about our expectations: faster and multi-core processors, higher screen resolutions, near field communications, more RAM, better cameras, and the usual suspect of specs-geek wishlist items. But the biggest knock against the Windows Phone platform has been the deficiency of premium cross-platform apps. Where was Pandora? Pinterest? And most importantly for an iPhone/Android photo-sharer, Instagram?
Shortly after we were guided inside the Bill Graham Auditorium (just across the street from where the city was going to celebrate their SF Giants' World Series victory) and greeted by Joe Belfiore, corporate vice president of Windows Phone, the heart and face of Microsoft's mobile platform.
Belfiore kickstarted the presentation with an update about the 120,00 apps now available for Windows Phone (Pandora revealed as their most notable app addition), alongside several new baked-in features to their latest operating system, including a new Windows Phone 8's Lock screen. Now highly customizable instead of a static background and clock, users can now assign 3rd party apps like Facebook as live-updated notifications viewable at a glance. So far, so good.
Another heralded and potentially money-saving feature built into Windows Phone 8 is the announcement of Data Sense, an information-rich app which auto-compresses web pages to trim down data use, while also sniffing out nearby available wi-fi networks, and also displaying how much bytes specific apps use for improved data allocation/management. Initially, this feature will only be supported by Verizon in December, with Belfiore hinting at additional providers joining at a later time.
Then there's Rooms, a information and planning sharing feature which improves on the previous Windows Phone 7's Groups management. Privately share calendars, location, notes, and images with a specified group of users. The idea is very similar to Google+'s Circles in concept, and each "Room" can be pinned to your Start screen for easy-glance notifications.
Parents who often hand over their smartphone to their child as a discrative option while out and about might be especially impressed by the Kid's Corner feature. Basically, the new operating system has created a multi-user "guest mode"...the guest being your own child(ren). Set up a password (hopefully) only known by you, designate which apps, games, and files are available for your child at a left-swipe, then hand over with the confidence your little tyke can't mess with options, settings, or access photos and files that are meant only for Mom or Dad.
After inviting his own trio of cute children to showcase the Kid's Corner feature, Microsoft invited actress and mom, Jessica Alba, with much fanfare to promote the parent-friendly features of Windows Phone 8 with Belfiore onstage to a varying degree of success (as some tweets pointed out, her Instagrams prove she's not fully committed to her Windows Phone powered device just yet).
Jessica Alba sharing a story and screenshot about the time her child nabbed her iPhone and tweeted for her.
And finally, and perhaps most importantly, Windows Phone 8 finally permits users to customize Live Tile sizes, inviting users to designate importance and information specific to their needs. Minimize the static Options and Explorer tiles down to the smallest thumbnail, while stretch out your People and Photo tiles to stretch horizontally all the way across so you can see as many updates and as much as possible. The results are a very dynamic and personalized UI go toe-to-toe with Android's often cited customization options (which usually aren't as intuitive nor n00b-friendly).
The presentation was capped by the appearance of Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, who came out with his game face on, outlining with much gravitas about Microsoft's commitment to making Windows Phone 8 the most user-friendly mobile platform, while also stepping up commitment to improved hardware (disappointingly without the unbridled sweaty zeal he's become reknowned for), bringing Belfiore and Alba on stage to conclude with an Oprah-esque surprise: WINDOWS PHONES FOR EVERYONE! [cue background stage curtains open to reveal Microsoft show team with hundreds of HTC 8X smartphones waiting for all attendees].
I've just setup the HTC 8X and can quickly note it's possibly the most comfortable smart device I've used right off the bat; the matte "California Blue" polycarbonate form factor is satisfyingly grippy without being sticky, the screen is vibrant and large without being a challenge to thumb-navigate one handed. On the flipside, preliminary camera comparisons shows only a moderate improvement compared to the previous generation HTC Radar we had on us, while falling short in detail and dynamic range compared side-by-side to the iPhone 5 (alongside the disappointment with the no-show of an Instagram announcement).
I look forward to seeing whether Windows Phone 8 offers enough to convince me back into the fold, and whether the latest Redmond designed operation system addresses some of the issues that let me slowly drift away to try out other devices (to quote those Irish pop stars, I still haven't found what I'm looking for). I'll be using the 8X is my primary device for the next several weeks with a future full featured review to follow, alongside an upcoming Nokia Lumia 920 review...more to come in the coming weeks as we become reacquainted with the new Windows Phone 8.

What is a deep tissue full body massage?
A deep tissue full body massage is a form of healing bodywork. At your first massage, your massage therapist will do a brief intake. They will ask you questions about the type of pressure you'd like to receive during your deep tissue massage, any previous massage experience you've had, and any injuries or sensitivities you have. You can remain clothed, or the massage therapist will provide draping so that even if you're not wearing clothes you are always fully covered. Deep tissue massage may be a good option for people with chronic pain or muscle tension. The systematic deep tissue strokes will work to break down any scar tissue or stiff tissues and create ease in your body again. Massage therapists use their hands, forearms, fists and knuckles to knead and stroke your muscles and loosen adhesions. Although deep tissue massage work is intense, it should not be painful, so communicate clearly with your massage therapist so they know if you're having any discomfort. The national average cost of a deep tissue massage is between $70 and $90.
What is the difference between a deep tissue massage and a Swedish massage?
Deep tissue massage and Swedish massage are both forms of therapeutic bodywork. In both modalities, a licensed massage therapist uses strokes administered with their hands or forearms to loosen and relax your muscles and other soft tissue. These releases can promote relaxation, pain relief and wellness.
Deep tissue massage may be an excellent therapeutic choice for people with chronic pain or severe tension in their muscles. The deep tissue massage technique moves below the top layer of muscle and soft tissue to release adhesions in your core muscles. In comparison, the strokes used in Swedish massage focus on loosening and relaxing the top layer of your soft tissues. Swedish massage produces relaxation and well-being, but if you have a long-term injury or back pain that won't seem to go away, deep tissue massage may be a better option for you. The systematic deep tissue strokes will work to break down any scar tissue or stiff tissues and create ease in your body again.
What is the purpose of a deep tissue massage?
There are many reasons to get a deep tissue massage. A deep tissue massage can release adhesions — also known as knots — that are causing painful tension in your muscles. Deep tissue massage can promote healing and ease discomfort related to illnesses such as cancer, chronic headaches, osteoarthritis of the knee, chronic neck or back pain, depression, and more, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. If you have an old sports injury such as shin splints, or a bad back from an old car accident, deep tissue massage can promote healing in your traumatized and scarred soft tissues and get you on the road to recovery. The strokes and techniques used in deep tissue massage work to lengthen soft tissue structures that have stiffened and hardened into knotty adhesions that allow minimal movement. Deep tissue massage can loosen these adhesions so that long-standing scar tissue releases and you can gain more mobility and more freedom from stiffness and pain. And it just feels good. The national average cost of a deep tissue massage is between $70 and $90.
Do deep tissue massages work?
Deep tissue massage not only feels fabulous, it can provide results. The massage technique targets deeper layers of muscle and your connective tissue. For its ability to stimulate those deeper muscles, deep tissue massage is commonly used during recuperation from sports-related and other injuries, according to the Mayo Clinic. Deep tissue massage has been proved to reduce high blood pressure and a range of other ailments. Deep tissue and other types of massage are frequently used for relieving stress, managing pain, breaking down scar tissue, relieving muscle tension and improving health. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health cites the following as health conditions for which that deep tissue massage can provide relief:
- Chronic low back pain, chronic neck pain, and osteoarthritis of the knee
- Labor pains
- Depression and anxiety
- Fibromyalgia pain and fatigue
- Headaches
The proper deep tissue massage may also benefit preterm infant health. Cancer patients may experience reduced pain, increased relaxation, and improved mood.

And keep a big box of rolled oats in the kitchen pantry. One less item in your brewery and a great addition for anything you want a little creamy mouthfeel in.

An awesome and hilarious movie!
I thought the movie was funny! It was better than the first one..Enjoy the comedy and don't take it so serious. Fun afternoon with friends.
Really bad! Not funny at all. Bad acting. Poor story. Women everywhere should be ashamed.
LOVE IT ! laughed my ass off...lol. :)
If real Moms are as stupid as the ones in the movie it is no wonder they have a hard time in a world with so many conveniences and luxury's. Really bad movie. Pure crap!
OMG maybe it was the mood I was in but this was absolutely hilarious!
I saw it with a friend of mine I did not like it I thought it was terrible
it is not for children to watch
This movie was not what I expected to watch.
The script was lousy.
The story was totally empty.
Movie was mediocre. No an Oscar movie. One of those movies that comes and goes without glory.

Why Does The IEEE Make It So Difficult To Access And Share Research?
from the hoarding-mentality dept
Of course, you can see what the IEEE is thinking. It wants to hoard the information in order to build up its membership ranks, fearing that if it made that information available, people would be less interested in becoming an IEEE member. I would argue that's rather short-sighted, and there are plenty of other ways the IEEE could make membership more valuable (member-only gathering, access to other members online, discounts on events/publications/etc.) while still making the papers it publishes free. In fact, by freeing up the content, and highlighting those other benefits, it could even make membership more valuable.

Buccaneers sweep Field category of A-Sun's weekly award
MACON, Ga. (Jan. 18, 2012) – After setting personal bests this past weekend at the Virginia Tech Invitational, freshman Jadon Short (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) and sophomore local product Lexie Burley (Johnson City, Tenn.) were each named Atlantic Sun Field Athlete of the Week.
For Short, this is his first such award since joining the Bucs. Meanwhile, Burley is now a two-time Field Athlete of the Week having earned the honor the week of Jan. 26 of last season.
"I'm happy for both Lexie [Burley] and Jadon [Short] to do so well in their first meet back from break," ETSU assistant coach Eli Sunquist said. "It's nice to see some of our local athletes reap the rewards of working hard over the break."
Short broke his personal best in the long jump with a 7.40m leap which earned third place in the event and jolted Short into first among Atlantic Sun competitors. The jump also qualified the freshman for the USATF (United States of America Track and Field) Jr. National Championships, and ranks No. 14 in NCAA. Short also competed in the 60m, clocking in at 7.05 to rank fifth in the A-Sun.
Burley also excelled in the jumps in Blacksburg, setting a mark of 12.22m in the triple jump to surpass her personal best by a foot. The former Science Hill track and field star now leads the A-Sun by nearly two feet in the event and ranks No. 35 in the NCAA as well. Burley also competed in the long jump at the VT Invite, leaping 5.28m.
The Buccaneer track and field squad returns to action on Friday, Jan. 20, when it travels to Newport News, Va. for the CNU Captains Invitational and Multis.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova DX Cro is a slightly overstable mid range driver. This disc golf disc is well suited for both backhand and forehand shots. Many players have switched to the Cro for accurate, predictably stable drives and approaches. The stability of the Cro is comparable to that of a Roc or a Shark, but it will fly a little faster and with less glide. A lot of top pros use the Cro when they want the flight of the Roc without the added glide of the Roc. The rim depth and shape offer a smooth release.
It is a great choice for consistent flights, placement shots, and spike hyzers. It is a fantastic disc for a variety of mid range shots.
Speed 5, Glide 3, Turn 0, Fade 2
Diameter: 21.2 cm
Rim Width: 1.4 cm
Date of Approval: 06/21/06
About DX plastic - discs are affordably priced and provide an excellent grip in all types of weather conditions. Over time, DX discs will take on new and varied flight characteristics that stem from their use. They start out more overstable, but with use will match the flight ratings. With continued use, they'll eventually become more understable than the ratings.
About Color and Weight Availability - This model may not be available in all colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.
What others have said:
"The Cro just might fit in your hand better than any other mid-range out there. A surprisingly fast flyer that is easy to throw, and will stick on the line you put it on like glue." - Christian Dietrich

When I went for a boat ride with my best friend's ex and we got out in the lake I had to check him out.My friend told me he was large but until I seen him I didn't believe her,I sucked his big dick for quite a while and although I wanted to fuck him we had no protection with us so I finished him off with my mouth as he shot a huge load down my gullet and we headed back in for some condoms.
She is amazing ! Does any one know her name ?
makes we want a boat! and a much bigger dick! hahaha
Bro I got a book that I could sell u for a big dick Interest end
She is one hot girl, I dont know how this dude doesnt pound that pussy and watch that ass round ass bounce. I want her.

My wife is beautiful and I big hit in the swingers circle . I have seen her give head many times and many of the guys have told me in private thats its the BJ they have had . I know she craves cock and loves the load . She could make lots of money
man! I would love to suck that one of kind cock! mmmh
This bring back some good times i had when i had a boat. This friend of mine had ever been on a boat before so i told her i would take her for a ride so we went down to the boathouse and took my boat out and next thing i know she was laying out on the back getting some sun when she ask me if we could have sex so I killed the motor and we had the best sex of my life. I wish we could have sex more like this
So big cock, I'm so horny, 'd love to have it in my mouth and then deep in mi tight pussy... so hornyy!
nice chick
It's of a waste to just take half a dick. It's easier to take a big dick from the top that way it slides down your throat more naturally. I've never gone down on a guy this big but I've taken some huge ones down to the base and I love it. Yeah, being outdoors and having sex is a turn on; feeling that cool air on your balls get you hard
Love her ass. One of the hotter chicks on YouPorn.
a smokin hot babe, i'd do her in her ass, then flip her like a burger and suck her pussy. DAMN!
White cocks are the best
Nope, I went to school on the coast
tina most guys are not into other guys i am the last person you would look at and think i like a stiff cock ,its always a challange to convince a guy that guys play and no one will ever find out and the next thing you know there naked and your balls deep in there ass, and they want more,,
Damn, where can you find this kind of girls? I don't have a bigger cock but my cock blows a lot more of juice.
My cock is the same size. I love it when my lady does me exactly like this.
my boyfriends is bigger :)
It's this a real cock ?
That cock is HUGE. I want some
Any one know who she is ?
That was a massive dick I could suck that big cock for days
Her name is Sophia Sutra, enjoy!
Such a sweet tender young thing, my goodness. She sure knows how to service that cock too. The work on the head with both her hands but with her teeth and lips, whew! It'd be even better if she had licked and sucked his balls too. She did take his cum, what there was of it - again even better had she swallowed.
she had great body shame he did not fuck her.
I notice the nice greenery in the background but also notice the teenager made $2500 plus a bonus for cream face spunk.
My wife and I went out on our boat a few summers ago, she laid out topless the whole time and then we got drunk and fucked like crazy.
Cute girl with a great body. Nice double handed wank and a good load. Like this video.
What a sweet, hot body..too bad he didn't fuck her.
Not much in the tit department, but I find her unbelievably sexy. Love "I wasn't expecting this".
This is a handjob with kisses.
Cute little sperm bimbo
these are the kind of girls that goes into porn she doesnt even know where her shoulder is LOL
lol 69 comments
love the small breasts on her
The shaved pussy is disgusting, and that's no blow job, it's a hand job.
that's a beautiful cock and a beautiful girl - not sure I would prefer to be sucked by her or suck that cock
Comme to Vienna.. I have a 12 Inches of White Creamy Meat! Come to the town called No regrets
I didnt think i had a big 1 but mine is bigger than this ha
well tina, i have a cock that big too and live right here in north carolina so come on start sucking
I love her tits
I fucked her
i have a bigger cock then this
i agree with little miss sunshine. my ex was 11 inches and i was scared every time we had sex
most 'girls' on here are clearly guys! anything over 8 inches is pointless - even if it fits it aint comfortable. my last boyfriend had a 7 incher which was perfect. the one i had before him had a thick 10 incher and sex was a mare
I'd love to explore this cuties throat with my fat dick head, then give her a nice facial like she wants.
i would suck that cock in the open on that boat
want her to suck my cock too!
its pretty out there too, outerbanks, took vacation out there once,nice place...have a good one, and keep the good comments coming,haha
@tina, u wouldnt be from western nc would ya
that is one, rocket sized cock. a two hander, for sure!
Can't believe he didn't use his dick as a pile driver on that Fucking Fantastic Arse ! With Butt Cheeks like that is begging to fucked
what happened to all viv thomas videos, why did they take them all out from youporn???? does any1 know?
@ Marie You should really try it if you can find a guy like that. Just take it slow at the beginning, but I promise, once he gets going, there is nothing like the feeling of a nice big thick cock filling you with every thrust and feeling his balls banging against you. I love to get on top and sit all the way down on my bf and grind my clit into his pubic bone as I rock back and forth. It is an amazing feeling, with his beautiful cock all the way inside me and grinding my clit into him. OMG, I cum over and over again until I just collapse on top of him.
a cock like that would be too big for my tight pussy ...
Marie, you can take it
e grande come il mio
im the guy steering the boat
@ Katie I do not need to measure him with a ruler. I know a big cock when I see one! What difference does it make if it is 9 inches or 10 inches. It does amazing things to me either way.
@ Tina. My boyfriend is the same! You should measure him with a ruler cause i did recently and was quite surprised. I dont think i could go back to anything less than 2 hands
@ bryan - haha, he is not into guys at all. And I am not real good at sharing. Although, I have watched a few 3some videos on youporn and I would not mind trying a 3some with my bf and a gf where I get to play with my gf as my bf is fucking me doggy style. I am sure he would not mind that either, because he has asked if he could watch us before.
Tina- i think a lot of people now want to suck your bf's cock......men, too!
Wow. The size of his cock. Her so pretty. The outdoors setting. Excellent.
Well, Josh, I have never really put a ruler on it. Maybe he has. But I would say it is about 8 or 9 inches, because I can put one hand around the base of his cock and my other hand next to it and still have 2 or 3 inches to suck on.
Tina-how big is ur bf?
That would be one very expesive blowjob if you are willing to fly me all the way to England from North Carolina.
well tina and ashlin i got one like that come to england and play with this hard cock.x
Thank you Ashlie, I think so too.
tina u r 1 lucky lady
That's a gorgeous cock. My bf has a two-hander like that. I love to see it spring out of his tight jeans when I unzip them. Best of all I like to feel it get hard in my mouth until I can't fit it all in anymore. He's so good to me, let's me play with his cock whenever I want. I just love to watch him cum.
great ass would love to see her fucked
I want to suck that cock
i would fuck her 2
I know a girl that looks just like her so this is great to jackoff too. Woulda been alot better if he got up in that pussy though.
that chick looks like a rat
I agree with Will, I'd be fucking that...she is hot.

|Release: 2012
|Players: MMO
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
by Josh Wirtanen
During E3 last month, I got to sit in a boardroom with the team at Wargaming.net and talk about their upcoming flight combat simulator, World of Warplanes. If the name sounds sort of familiar, you've probably heard about their other title, World of Tanks, which they claim has over 30 million registered users from 203 countries (a game they're also continuing to expand with fresh tank types.) With a fan base that broad and massive, it's no wonder they're so excited about adding another leg to the franchise.
World of Warplanes was designed with the warplane fanatic in mind. That means the team has done painstaking research to ensure that the specs of the planes jive with what your history teacher would tell you about them. Of course, this means the planes are broken in to different eras because it simply wouldn't be fair to force, say, a biplane to compete against a jet. I asked how this affects gameplay balance, using the hypothetical example that perhaps in one era of aviation history, the U.S. had inferior planes to those of another country. Couldn't players potentially become frustrated by such historical accuracy? The team told me to not worry; they've been working very hard to deliver a well-balanced experience.
Now, part of this comes with separating the planes into tiers. At the bottom tier, your planes will be easier to pilot than planes of a higher tier. As your skill increases, you'll be able to pilot planes in higher tiers with higher difficulty levels. I got to spend about a half hour playing World of Warplanes for myself, and I can attest that there's definitely a learning curve. Playing for the first time, I was honestly willing to get into the cockpit of something a bit easier to use.
Now, one of the things we talked about concerning realism was the amount of ammo each plane could hold. I explained to the team that I had been playing fairly loose and reckless with my ammo, and that I had managed to run out. They were quite surprised at this feat of mine, as they had not heard of it happening before. Though, they did admit that in keeping up with the realism thing, there was a limit to how much each plane would realistically carry. This means that you're supply isn't infinite; you'll want to conserve your ammo when possible, not firing until you're sure you've got your enemy locked down in your sights. Obviously, I suck at this.
Another cool tidbit that was explained to me was that as your plane will get lighter as you drop bombs, thus you'll notice slight changes as to how your plane handles after a bombing run. It sounds like these guys have truly covered all their bases here.
We talked a little bit about the various plane types. I was told there are 59 total planes here so far (a number they hope to increase to about 100 before the game's official launch), hailing from the U.S., Germany, and Russia. These are divided into four categories: light, heavy, ground assault, and the U.S.-only carrier class. I was also told there are currently four different maps available.
