text: Colo. Rep. Tipton Facing Second Ethics Issue Both Issues Involve Nephew's Company, Broadnet 9:42 AM, Jun 9, 2011 scott tipton | steve patterson | broadnet | elizabeth tipton Share Article U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton may have violated ethics rules after he spent more than $7,000 from his House office account on vendors that contract with his nephew's company, according to The Associated Press. Members of Congress are forbidden from hiring family members, including nieces and nephews. But the rules are less clear on contract work, according to the Denver Post. Invoices show that the congressman paid more than $7,000 to iConstituent and Constituent Services for newsletters and an April telephone town hall. Both companies are vendors of Colorado-based Broadnet, which is owned by Tipton's nephew, Steve Patterson. Tipton spokesman Josh Green said the office used iConstituent because it was used by his predecessor, Democratic Rep. John Salazar.Last month, Tipton sent a letter to the House Ethics Committee regarding "improper" e-mails his daughter sent using Tipton's name to solicit business for Broadnet, the company where she works, according to Politico.The website reported that Elizabeth Tipton had been contacting congressional offices and introducing herself as the congressmans daughter, to arrange appointments for Broadnet.In a letter drafted to the Ethics Committee, Tipton said, "In the course of Elizabeths duties she mentioned to several House offices that she is my daughter. This reference was made casually in introductory emails purely as a point of reference to both Republican and Democratic offices."The letter goes on to say that Tipton has consulted his "staff and the House Ethics Rules and I do not believe this to be a violation of any ethics rule. However, I believe it to be an improper use of my name and I would like to apologize and assure you that it will not happen again. If there are any other measures that must be taken in this regard please let me know and I will be happy to do so," according to Politico. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

This review is from: APEX DM-318 Black Steel Micro ATX Media Center / Slim HTPC Computer Case w/ ATX12V TFX 275W Power Supply
Decent looking (would have been happier if all-black). Great at the price. Plenty of room inside.
Only 1 SATA power connection (need to order a splitter, or converter from IDE if you want more). Case fan (80mm) is incredibly loud. Might as well put a new quiet fan in your basket at the same time as the extra SATA power cable. The sled for the optical drive is half an inch too long, making the SATA data connection precarious, I had to bend the end of the tray down with pliers.
Other Thoughts:
All in all a great value. Not perfect, but that would be asking a lot at this price point.
Its a deep box.. which is a mild con, but is also a plus for making the insides not a nightmare of being too tight.

Under The Boardwalk
Atlantic City has an intriguing past hidden behind her gambling palaces
April 1996 | Volume 47, Issue 2
Atlantic City's piers—the Million Dollar Pier, Steeplechase Pier, and Heinz Pier—were its stages, the places where guests from the Boardwalk's elegant hotels went to play and experience Atlantic City's unique brand of suspended reality. The variety of amusements and products that found their way onto the piers was boundless; it was said that in the days before radio or television, Atlantic City was the best location for marketing a product to a national audience.
Opposite the piers stood Atlantic City's grand line of massive hotels: the Claridge, the Dennis, the Traymore, the Brighton, and the Marlborough-Blenheim. These beautiful giants had luxurious ballrooms, revolving bars, entertainment, and visiting celebrities. Conventioneers poured into the city and spent ample money in what was then a thriving seaside town. By the time my grandmother was making regular visits, very little of this elegance lingered, but the remaining old hotels made the suggestion of it still hang in the air.
Even as early as the late forties, when increased travel by car and plane made both shorter stays and other destinations a reality, vacancy rates climbed, and the city slowly lost its manic edge through the fifties and sixties. Then the old hotels started tumbling down, first the Traymore in 1972 and almost all the rest soon after. Gambling was legalized in 1976, and though it fit Atlantic City's image as a place born with something to sell, it contributed to the town's further decline.
On my first night in Atlantic City, a hot and drizzly Friday evening, I took a walk on the Boardwalk. It was quiet and eerie, though everything was still open—mostly souvenir stores and sub shops. Roger's, a seedy karaoke bar and pizza joint, is noteworthy for its unlikely inheritance of the facade of the palatial old Warner movie theater. Occasionally a couple being pushed along in a canopied wicker rolling chair—an Atlantic City tradition—glided past, but most people were walking toward the casinos. As in Las Vegas, all the casinos here feature frosted-glass doors and windowless insides, no clocks, and constant jangling noise. The buildings are so big that one seems to blend into the next, and mirrors and lots of reflecting brass add to the sense of a hotel without end.
A late-afternoon walk on the Boardwalk was more lively; people were strolling or lying on the beach, stopping into the casino shops and souvenir stands. Few elegant stores remain on the Boardwalk itself; most are now inside the casinos. Steel's Fudge, founded in 1919, still thrives, as does James' Original Salt Water Taffy ("Cut-to-Fit-the-Mouth"). Both stores are old-fashioned and quiet enough to be a welcome relief from the relentless clamor of the Boardwalk.
Though most of the piers were destroyed by natural disasters, a few, like the Steel Pier, remain. Once home to boxing kangaroos, diving horses, and Abbott and Costello, the Steel Pier is now an amusement park jutting out into the ocean; it's filled with game booths, spinning rides, and go-carts and is quite beautiful when lit up at night.
Near the end of the Boardwalk is the Garden Pier, once known for its lush gardens and exhibits such as a giant Underwood typewriter. Now it is the sedate and well-restored home of the Atlantic City Arts Center and Historical Museum. An elaborate fountain decorated with marble seals and gargoyles crowns the pier, and ceramic sea eagles rescued from the Marlborough-Blenheim perch on the outside of the building.
Much of the historic photography one sees around Atlantic City and in the Historical Museum is the work of Al Gold, the town's chief photographer from 1939 to 1964. A portrait of Gold hanging in the museum captures what that job must have been like: Pants legs rolled up and camera dangling by his side, he stands grinning between two bathing beauties. That same spirit of unrestrained fun that permeated the old Atlantic City ("the World's Playground") is everywhere in evidence at the museum, which packs in every bit of beach, Boardwalk, and hotel life memorabilia that the small space will allow. Gold's daughter, Vicki Gold Levi, is the museum's cofounder and exhibit director as well as the author of the excellent Atlantic City: 125 Years of Ocean Madness , so visiting the museum is a bit like walking into the pages of the book.

Furthermore, the General Assembly "invites Governments to promote public awareness of and wider participation in the Decade, inter alia, through cooperation with and initiatives engaging civil society and other relevant stakeholders, especially at the beginning of the Decade". (UNESCO, 2005, International Implementation Scheme) Four Major Thrust of DESD - Promoting and improving quality education; Four Major Thrust of DESD - Reorienting existing education to address Sustainable Development; - Building public understanding and awareness; - Providing practical training.

Well-Being and Religious Leadership
Religious leaders today have unique and growing opportunities to impact congregations and communities by understanding the synergistic relationship between public health and faith as each is broadly defined. Public health leaders and institutions and religious leaders and institutions share much history and at least one goal: the well-being of humans and the communities in which they live, work, and play. Religious leaders today become more effective when they cultivate a holistic view of wellness and learn strategies for helping faith communities embody this view in worship, education, mission, and other programs.
The Well-Being and Religious Leadership Program facilitates within the MDiv curriculum an interdisciplinary conversation that emphasizes care of creation, personal and communal spirituality and ethics, individual and communal health, and the common good.
Admission to a Program Concentration
The School encourages students by the end of their second full semester of study in the MDiv program to declare a concentration by submitting a proposal to the Program Director. Once the concentration proposal is approved, each student in a concentration works with her or his adviser to design an appropriate course of study for the student's remaining semesters in the program.

The Wake Forest University School of Divinity offers a concentration within the MDiv degree designed to equip religious leaders with the knowledge, skills, and pastoral habits necessary to guide congregations and other faith-based organizations into creating more redemptive food systems where God's shalom becomes visible for a hungry world.
Core Courses (6h)
- Foundational course (3 hours): MIN 561 "Food, Faith, and Health: Navigating the Intersections in Community"
- Experiential course (3 hours): A course that combines hands-on learning in organic gardening, food preparation, and preservation with scriptural/theological reflection. The purpose of such a course is to ensure that students have basic skills in growing and preparing food. The pedagogical combination of theological reflection and active creation care mirrors the holistic view of well-being that is at the heart of the concentration.
- Examples:
- MIN 560 "Field, Table, Communion"
- MIN 597 "Roots & Branches: The Jewish Environmental Fellowship for Emerging Christian Leaders"
- Examples:
Elective courses (1h – 3h)
- Elective courses may be taken through the existing School of Divinity curriculum in a variety of biblical, historical, theological or ministerial studies options that include an emphasis on food and faith-related topics or issues. Students must have the approval of the program director in order for an elective to count toward the concentration. Courses outside the School of Divinity can also be used for elective credits.
- Examples:
- BIB 790 "Food & Faith in the World of the Hebrew Bible"
- MIN 790 "The Monastic Impulse Old & New: Prayer, Work, and the Spirituality of Food"
- MIN 790 "Food, Faith, and Justice"
- HIS 630 "Culinary Culture in Black Religious Experience"
- Examples:
Internship experience (3h)
- Students can choose to develop an Art of Ministry II or Art of Ministry III internship experience with a food and faith emphasis. Summer internships or specialized internship completed during the academic year can also count toward this requirement.
Capstone project (3h)
- Students can focus this requirement through the current Art of Ministry III requirement by completing either a senior project or a senior internship.

Anyone think teenagers won't drink green smoothie? This is my son (on the left) who was shorter than me at the beginning of this year and, I noticed tonight, is now taller than me when I'm in heels. (Who says kids fed a plant-based diet are scrawny?) He brought his two friends over while I was making green smoothie today and asked me for some, for his friends to try. Cool, right?

Do you use a microwave in your kitchen for anything? Is that one on top of your dish washer? I have stopped using mine and want to get rid of it altogether. After reading how it changes the food molecules and turns them into cancer causing molecules and all the rest of what microwave ovens do, I don't want any part of it. It is tough breaking my family from using it. Mine is almost dead and I told them I wasn't going to replace it that I was going to turn that space into an extra cabinet & get a door put on it.
I have two dishwashers not near where the boys are standing in this photo. I do have a microwave, which is right behind them. I use it for almost nothing–occasionally to heat water.
Interesting note, however: I got an email, a couple of times over the years, about how nothing would sprout in microwaved water. My son had a Boy Scout merit badge he was working on where he had to do an experiment to see which caused seeds to sprout the fastest: plain water, apple cider vinegar, etc. I asked him to use microwaved (then cooled) water for one of about 6-7 samples. Guess which one sprouted the fastest and grew the healthiest, from all outward appearances? The seeds in the microwaved water!
Interesting notes about the microwave.
Interesting! So, is the microwave a bad thing to use or not?
I think it's a bad thing to use generally, but I also think some of the doomsday reports (my mom quit using her microwave 25 yrs. ago when I was a teenager) are overblown. I don't think nuking some water or some already cooked food on a rare occasion is going to be devastating to our health. But we're probably better off to stay away from microwaves as much as possible.
I always wondered about microwaves too especially after reading those kind of stories. My husband and I just moved to Texas and didn't pack our microwave because we thought there would be one here. Well there wasn't one here and now we don't have a microwave. My husband always points out when he sees microwaves in a store but I think, why should we buy one when we already have one back in Utah? And then I think, if I just send him all the leftover food for him to eat for lunch at work then we don't really need a microwave. I might be using more energy by reheating some things in the oven but I have more counter space without having a microwave!
Ours died over a year and a half ago. I just adapted to life without one and found it's really quite easy to do. I was surprised because before that I would've thought that I could never have done it because I'd used it so much! Because I'd been wanting to reduce my microwave usage anyway, I didn't say much, and dh has never gotten around to getting it fixed (it's a built-in, so it's costly to replace). Every once in a while he'll really miss it and say he's going to fix it but he hasn't yet! The hardest thing is reheating leftovers, but that's doable in a frying pan or glass pan in the oven.
The kid standing across from your son looks like he could be his identical twin!
Ha! Well, he is a great kid, so if his parents ever want to give him up, I'll take him!

Last year I began my search for an encryption solution for end-user computers. I did some research on several different well-known solutions and ended up picking Mobile Armor's Data Armor (now owned by Trend Micro). My thinking was that Trend Micro's Anti-Virus solution integrates well with VMware, so if we changed to Trend Micro AV and used Trend Micro for encryption, we would have a more centralized administration console...eventually. I did a lot of testing and rolled it out to some other folks in our IT department and we didn't notice any issues. However, after a few months, we started getting complaints about a fairly consistent "stutter" from several different users. After some extensive testing with support techs from Trend Micro, we were able to conclude that the issue was with their encryption software. It most likely had something to do with our use of SSDs and their software. They told me that they wouldn't guarantee the issue would be fixed anytime soon, so I set out to find a new solution and decided on BitLocker which is integrated in Windows 7 (Enterprise and up, note...BitLocker does not work with Windows 7 Professional).
What I like about BitLocker is that is basically transparent to the user. There's no initial login, besides the regular Windows login that all domain users have to get through anyway. There's no concern about remote users having to sync their passwords every time they have to change them, which is great for reducing support calls. Another perk is that you can integrate it with Group Policy and Active Directory, so users are unable to change the encryption settings if you don't want them too, and the recovery key can be automatically saved in Active Directory, making any recovery issues fairly simple to solve. By default, BitLocker uses AES 128 bit encryption, but you are able to change it to 256 bit encryption in Group Policy.
In order to turn on BitLocker, you need only right-click on the drive (the C: drive for example) and click on the Turn on BitLocker option. You may get an error and need to turn on TPM in the BIOS, and then activate TPM, which may require two restarts. After that, try to turn on BitLocker again. BitLocker will ask you to print out or save to USB the 40-digit recovery key. It will then ask you to do another restart, and then once you're back at the desktop it will appear in the systray. You can see the status of the initial encryption by double clicking on the icon in the systray. It will encrypt in the background while you continue to work. The encryption process took about an hour on an 80GB SSD hard drive.
Now the great thing, that I mentioned earlier, is that you can save the recovery keys in Active Directory using Group Policy. I should mention that we are on a Windows 2008r2 Domain level, so there might be some extra schema configurations you need to do to make the Active Directory/Group Policy integration work, but I only needed to go into the group policy editor and configure the settings there.
1. Go to Computer Configuration>>Administrative Templates>>Windows Components and click on BitLocker Drive Encryption.
2. Double click on Store BitLocker Recovery Information in Active Directory and click Enabled. Then configure the settings as you would like.
3. Now go to Computer Configuration>>Administrative Templates>>System and click on Trusted Platform Module Services.
4. Double click on Turn on TPM Backup to Active Directory Domain Services and click Enabled.
You can now check that the recovery key is being stored in Active Directory by right-clicking on your domain in Active Directory Users and Computers and clicking on Find BitLocker Recovery Password. It will give you a window that will allow you to search for a particular computer name and find the Recovery Password associated with that computer.
As with anything there are caveats. By design, making changes to the hard drive or BIOS, as well as swapping hard drives between computers, can cause issues. If you need to make changes, you can either unencrypt the drive first and then re-encrypt when you're done, or there is an option to input the recovery password when it presents the option after a restart and then suspend the encryption and resume again. If you would like to test recovering a computer or see more configuration options, please see this document.
I have to say that I'm very happy with BitLocker. After getting over the learning curve, I've basically had no issues. The employees who complained about the Trend Micro Data Armor encryption are not even aware that they now have BitLocker. In an SMB such as ours, where help desk issues can take valuable time away from other duties, it has really saved a lot of time and frustration in the long run.

The Inter boss has expressed his frustration following his side's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Juventus, but hailed Mateo Kovacic for his showing in the San Siro loss
An early goal from Fabio Quagliarella gave Antonio Conte's men the lead before Alessandro Matri ensured that Rodrigo Palacio's equaliser was nullified to secure a 2-1 win for the visitors.
The young coach cited Inter's profligacy and the effect of Quagliarella's early strike as the main causes of their defeat.
"Quagliarella's early goal cut us down," Stramaccioni told a press conference following the match. "We had a few chances through Palacio and [Antonio] Cassano in the first half but failed to score."
"It is undeniable that our intensity rose in the second half, though. We forced Juve to retreat but their second goal came during our best spell. It was a sin."
Stramaccioni maintained that his side must remain motivated and recognised that the game was an entertaining spectacle but expressed his disappointment at the result.
He continued: "We must not change our objectives [for the rest of the season]. We are pleased with our performance. It was a good match and in the second half we played very well against the best team in Italy.
"There is still a sour taste in my mouth because we came within touching distance of a point. We did not deserve to lose, but you have to respect the result on the pitch."
Stramaccioni highlighted one positive aspect in particular for Inter - the bright performance and future of January signing Mateo Kovacic.
"Kovacic is the future of Inter's midfield," he added. "He is growing and I have great confidence in his ability."

I'm not sure how far you're going in your thoughts here, but I know I care about the version and there are lots of occasions when the old code ain't fine.
Falling too far behind can turn into an even larger problem down the road when you need to update software A to resolve an issue but you can't because you're too far behind and there's no longer an upgrade path because they've done something major (like switched from MySQL to PostGreSQL) on the backend. Better yet, sometimes software A (which is already behind) depends on software B (or vice versa) which is maybe even further behind. Now you're really stuck.
I think it's important to not confuse stagnant with stable; there's a point where 'stable' can become it's own enemy. Positive gain from just staying up to date with your software might include lower-risk changes months or years from now when you are forced into a hurried, unplanned upgrade to address a security need or get a new feature that you desperately need to resolve some other issue and continue your work.

Google Revamps Image Search for Feature Phones
Aug 20, 2009, 3:39 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Today Google announced that it has enhanced the image search capability for most feature phones. The new function will pack in between 8 and 14 images onto a screen's display after users search for an item. Clicking on one of the images will take the user to a page with information about that image, where they may also choose to view the image and its associated web site or jump to the next picture. The enhanced image search feature is built into the mobile Google home page. It is free to use.
Paying for wallpapers=obsolete
Maybe this will help break anyone of that insanity.
I notice T-Mobile is more likely to pull that scam on cheap phones. Blackberry and Windows phones can receive images and ringers, but the samsung T329.

Senator Bonacic Announces Senate Passage of Legislation to Expand Access to Vaccines
Legislation Would Add Shingles Vaccine to the List of Vaccinations Pharmacists are Permitted to Administer
Senator John J. Bonacic (R, C, I--Mount Hope) announced that the New York State Senate passed legislation that would give New York State residents greater access to the shingles vaccine.
The legislation, S3808B, would add the shingles vaccine to the list of immunizations that trained licensed pharmacists are permitted to administer to adults, when ordered by a patient's physician or nurse practitioner.
"The shingles vaccine can help prevent a very painful and dangerous disease, but it is often hard to obtain because many physicians do not carry it," said Senator Bonacic. "Allowing trained pharmacists to administer the shingles vaccine will make the vaccine far more accessible and help prevent many residents from being afflicted with this disease."
Under a 2008 law, licensed pharmacists are permitted to administer flu and pneumonia vaccines to adults. Over 7,500 pharmacists have been certified to administer immunizations by the State Education Department since the law's inception, according to the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York.
Allowing trained pharmacists to administer the shingles vaccine would significantly expand access to the vaccine. The shingles vaccine is a pharmacy benefit covered under Medicare Part D, meaning physicians cannot be reimbursed for it. The vaccine must also be kept frozen and used within thirty minutes after it has thawed. Consequently, many physicians offices do not have the vaccine on hand, making it harder for residents to access it.
Shingles is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters. Along with being severely painful, shingles can be potentially debilitating, causing eye damage and vision loss if it develops on the face. In some cases, shingles can cause nerve damage which results in prolonged periods of pain lasting months or even years. The Centers for Disease Control recommends the shingles vaccine for individuals ages 60 and over.
The legislation is supported by the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York because it "will significantly expand access to the shingles vaccine." The legislation is also supported by a number of other organizations, including AARP, Chain Pharmacy Association of New York State, NAACP, and New York State Association of County Health Officials, as well as the City of New York.
The legislation has also been passed by the Assembly and will be sent to Governor Cuomo for approval.

The Vision Zero traffic safety plan will soon make its Queens debut at the Northern Boulevard intersection with 61st Street in Woodside, where Mayor Bill de Blasio first announced the initiative Jan. 15.
Noshat Nahian, an 8-year-old student at PS 152, was struck and killed by a turning truck while crossing the dangerous six-lane roadway with his sister. They were on their way to class Dec. 20 and there was no crossing guard assigned to the area.
The city Department of Transportation will begin a comprehensive redesign of the intersection in the coming weeks, including the installation of two pedestrian safety islands to create a safer crossing. The agency will implement traffic calming measures including school crosswalks and safer, slower turns.
The DOT will ban left-hand turns onto 61st Street and it has already cut street parking to create extra visibility for drivers making the left-hand turn onto Northern Boulevard that killed Noshat.
City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) pushed hard for the intersection's inclusion on the Vision Zero priority list of 50 locations throughout the city, holding several press events and tours for officials.
The newly installed majority leader of the City Council also secured an additional crossing guard for PS 152.
"We must do everything possible to make sure that no child is ever harmed trying to cross the street to get to PS 152," Van Bramer said. "We continue to mourn Noshat Nahian and we are as committed as ever to making Vision Zero in Woodside and New York City."
In Albany, where state Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria) continues to fight for a law that would make it a felony for drivers who drive with suspended licenses and kill or seriously injure someone in the process — legislation he introduced following the death of the PS 152 student — he reacted to the DOT's efforts.
"I only wish these plans had been completed before the life of Noshat Nahian was so tragically lost," Gianaris said. "We have far more to do to remove the dangers posed by our streets."
On Monday morning, U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Jackson Heights) announced legislation requiring states to address the increase in serious injuries and fatalities of pedestrians and cyclists.
Crowley touted his Pedestrian Fatalities Reduction Act of 2014 at the Jackson Heights intersection on Northern Boulevard where 11-year-old Miguel Torres, was struck and killed by a dump truck in the shadows of his school, IS 145, last year.
"The recent string in traffic-related deaths in and around Queens demands our immediate attention to find solutions," Crowley said. "That's why I'm introducing a bill that requires states to do just that. We need to insure that federal highway safety funds at their disposal are put toward achieving our goal of reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero. It's time to put an end to the tragedy on our streets."
Elsewhere in Jackson Heights, the DOT erected metal fencing at a busy intersection where a woman was struck and killed by a city bus in February.
Martha Tibillin-Guamug, 25, was hit by a Q53 bus on Broadway near 74th Street and Roosevelt Avenue.
DOT spokesman Nicholas Mosquera said, "The agency continues to review the area for further safety enhancements, and we welcome input from community stakeholders on this."

A friend and her boyfriend were planning on having anal sex for the first time, and she needed some down-and-dirty lady advice.AdvertisementI was both honored and delighted by her request. Am I an expert? I mean, I'm no doctor. But I am an enthusiast, and that, friends, makes all the difference.A couple notes/disclaimers to start:AdvertisementMy advice-seeking friend is a lady who likes dudes, so in the original e-mail, I use boy/girl language not out of heterocentrism, but out of situational specificity. That said, I'm pretty sure the principles listed below apply to dicks and dildos alike. So to queer things up a bit, any time you read a word like "dude" or "cock," please replace it with whichever epithet or insertable object applies to you!Speaking of insertables! As someone who has engaged in pegging, I have one piece of advice for first timers: BEWARE OF GIANT, PORN-SIZED DILDOS. They might look shiny and enticing in the store, but their luster will fade in the bedroom. Trust me. My ex and I learned that one the hard way. In other words, your first car should not be a Cadillac; a sensible midsize or cute compact will do you just fine. (Incidentally, my first car was a Cadillac—my great-grandmother's. It clearly effed up my entire sense of proportion.)Truth: Anal isn't for everyone. If you try it (following the guidelines below, natch) and hate it, you never have to do it again. That is my solemn vow.Now without further ado, humble advice from one lady to another. And hey, if it's your first time, or if you want to rekindle an old flame, or if you're just sorta intrigued by the whole thing, congratulations! Curiosity is the first step on the road to satisfaction.Dear A.,SponsoredLet's get right down to it, shall we? Butt sex. AKA, nature's birth control. AKA, awesome if done correctly. AKA, I'm so happy for you!Here's how I like to roll when I'm doin' it. (I'm sure there are other ways, but this is what works for me and my booty.)Advertisement1. Make time. LOTS of time. You don't want to feel even remotely rushed, so give yourself like a 3-hour window (especially the first time). Or just do it at night before bed!2. Washin' up. I prefer to shower beforehand, just to make sure everything's cleaned up down there. I mean, impeccable hygiene or no, some amount of fecal matter is inevitably floating around at any given moment, but a good scrub can't hurt. Also, if you know you're fresh, you're more likely to relax during the deed.3. The joy of rimming. Boy, do I love a good rim job. Hopefully, you and your b/f do too. 'Cause like, if boy can't get a tongue in your butt, ain't no way his dick's going up there, youfeelme? SO. Duder needs to spend a good long time eating and massaging your tush to get you relaxed and aroused. [Note: If you wanna reciprocate, that's fun too. Anal 69 is an option. Or just taking turns. In the immortal words of High School Musical, "We're all in this together."]Advertisement4. LUBE. USE IT. LIBERALLY. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. (KY is both totally effective and totally cheap! Oh, and the CVS knock-off works like a charm.)5. Fingers. Dude should start with one. Then two. Then maybe a vibe or other toy, something smooth and phallic is always nice. (Something Smooth and Phallic is also the name of my indie band.) Meanwhile, don't forget that lube.6. Dick time. Start with the tip. And JUST THE TIP. A friend of a friend's boyfriend just shoved the whole muhfucker in there, and the lady PASSED OUT. So don't let your boy make the same mistake that guy did. So anyway, get the tip in there and just let your ole sphincter get used to it. Again: you have all the time in the world. When you're ready, dude can start going deeper, but SLOWNESS IS KEY. As the Bible says, "love is patient." And keep that lube comin'!AdvertisementAdvertisement7. So eventually he'll get the whole D in there (probably*). At that point, you'll be good and relaxed, and he can start the good old-fashioned ass fucking. If it hurts, you're not relaxed enough, and you should go back to step 6 (or 5, or 3, depending). Also, say it with me now, don't be stingy with the lube!*Sometimes cocks feel too big, or butts feel too tense, or (most likely) a combination thereof. Even the most enthusiastic and patient among us will run into these perfectly normal complications. Point is: if you don't have Full-Fledged Anal Sex the first time, whatevs! Don't force it; there's so much more to do with the caboose than just peen-in-ane.8. Clean up. Probs not a great idea to put a poopy wiener in your vadge or mouth. I mean, some people get off on that and are willing to take the risk, and that's cool. But if you're not one of those people, have your dude clean his junk before he does anything else with it.Advertisement9. Gettin' off. Personally, I've never come during anal sex. I suspect that's because I don't have a prostate. IRREGARDLESS. One of the reasons I'm a fan of A.S. is that it gets me SUPER aroused. So post-anal oral is always a LOT of fun. And the Shocker? Once your pink and your stink are both ready for action, that shit is awesome.10. Odds and ends. (Ends, get it?)Getting poo smell off fingers (and wien). If soap doesn't work, toothpaste will do the trick.Y'all read Savage Love, right? Santorum: Yup, it's for real.It is a fact that your butt might feel weird, and you might have some not-so-solid poops for a few hours after.I think that's all. Oh wait. One more thing:AdvertisementAdvertisement11. HAVE FUN. Because you're worth it.Lady advice! Fuck yeah!Good night and good luck, DianaAdvertisementUpdate: Condoms, condoms, condoms. Even if you and your partner have been tested, they make it less messy. Also, "nature's birth control" is a light-hearted quip. It is theoretically possible to get pregnant from anal sex if ejaculate gets in the right place by accident.Image Via Vibrant Image Studio/ShutterstockReply670 repliesLeave a reply

text: Well, this is going to break the heart of all the indie rock nerds who like to think of Zooey Deschanel as the poster (pinup?) girl for their sexless fantasies about shy pretty girls and their love of wimpy music and, you know, bangs. The actor/singer has reportedly signed on to star in and executive produce a 30-minute pilot for an HBO show about rock and roll groupie Pamela Des Barres, who wrote about her, um, interactions with some of the bigger names in music from the late-60s and early-70s in her memoir, I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie. So if Deschanel is playing Des Barres, one can safely assume Ben Gibbard will take on the role of Mick Jagger, while M. Ward does his best Jimmy Page. And seriously, don't worry, nerds: it's just acting. She still loves you. And your hoodie too.

Gouging: The other plasma process
Defining the basics
Plasma gouging, although not necessarily as well-known as plasma cutting, is one of four methods of gouging that can be used for a variety of industrial applications. Different techniques bring about different results, depending on the application.
Plasma arc gouging may not be as well-known or widely used as plasma arc cutting, but the two processes share many characteristics: ease of use, cut speed and quality, cost of operation, and versatility.
Let's compare the plasma gouging and cutting processes and take a look at competitive gouging technologies. We'll review the basics of equipment used in plasma arc gouging, as well as developments in gouging technology for manual plasma arc systems and applications suitable for plasma arc gouging.
Gouging Processes
Plasma arc gouging is one of four common gouging methods. The others are mechanical, oxyfuel, and air carbon arc gouging.
Mechanical Gouging. Mechanical gouging methods—grinding, hand milling, routing, and chipping—are widely used. These methods are suitable for metalworking shops, but typically they are slow and often loud.
Oxyfuel Gouging. Oxyfuel gouging is a common thermal or chemical method and a variation of oxyfuel welding and cutting. Steel is heated to its ignition temperature with fuel gas and then rapidly combusted and removed from the surface by a jet of oxygen gas.
Oxyfuel gouging offers low noise levels, portability, and higher speed when compared to mechanical methods. It can lack precise control over gouge quality and slower speed when compared to carbon arc gouging. Also, because the process relies on combustion, its use is limited to carbon steels.
Air Carbon Arc Gouging. In the air carbon arc process, an electric arc is generated between the tip of a carbon electrode and the metal workpiece. A jet of air is directed around the tip to remove molten metal from the area, forming a groove.
Air carbon arc gouging can be used on mild steel, cast iron, nickel alloys, copper, and aluminum. It's a process that can be easy to learn and has a high metal removal rate. It also can be a noisy process that produces excessive smoke and fumes. Gouge quality can be hard to control, and carbon deposits, or inclusions, may be added to the base metal.
Plasma Arc Gouging. With practice, an operator can achieve a smooth, clean, consistent groove with a plasma gouging arc. This process is relatively quiet and smoke-free. It can be used on mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and almost any ferrous or nonferrous alloy. Different gases can help optimize gouge quality and surface conditions.
Plasma gouging also has its disadvantages. They include the initial expense of a plasma cutting system, the lower metal removal rate compared to air carbon arc gouging, and the practice and skill required to master the technique.
Plasma Arc Cutting
To understand plasma arc gouging better, it's helpful to understand plasma arc cutting (PAC). PAC is a thermal cutting process that uses a constricted jet of high-temperature plasma gas to melt and separate metal. The plasma arc is formed between a negatively charged electrode inside the torch and a positively charged workpiece. Heat from the transferred arc rapidly melts the metal, and the high-velocity gas jet expels the molten material from the cut.
A plasma arc cutting torch has four components:
- The electrode carries the negative charge from the power supply.
- The swirl ring spins the plasma gas to create a swirling flow pattern.
- The nozzle constricts the gas flow and increases the arc energy density.
- The shield channels the flow of shielding gas and protects the nozzle from metal spatter.
Figure 1 A plasma arc cutting torch has four components: an electrode, a swirl ring, a nozzle, and a shield. The nozzle is 0.060 in., for 100-amp cutting. |
The goal of PAC is to produce a narrow kerf, straight cut edges, and minimal dross. The torch parts are designed to constrict the arc into a narrow, stable column with sufficient heat energy and momentum to penetrate the workpiece and expel molten metal from the bottom of the kerf. Figure 1illustrates the highly constricted arc with a nozzle size of 0.060 inch for 100-amp cutting.
Plasma arc gouging is a variation of PAC in which material from the surface of a plate, casting, welded assembly, or other metal workpiece is melted and removed to form a gouge or groove. The plasma gouging arc is less constricted than the cutting arc. The goal of plasma arc gouging is to maximize the volume of metal removal. For this reason the torch parts used in gouging are designed to produce a wider and softer arc. Figure 2shows a plasma torch with gouging parts.
Plasma Arc Gouging Equipment
Plasma arc gouging equipment is similar to plasma arc cutting equipment; it includes a power source, a gas supply, torch leads, a torch, and consumables. Special gouging consumables and accessories are available.
A plasma torch with gouging parts has a larger nozzle, 0.098 in. for 100-amp gouging |
Power Supplies. Plasma gouging and cutting power supplies are direct-current electrode-negative (DCEN) systems with high open-circuit voltage. In the last 20 years, PAC power supplies have evolved from large console units based on rectifier technology, to units incorporating inverter and switching transistor, or chopper, technologies, to inverters and boost inverters that are reliable and small in size and weight. The latest power supplies use microprocessor-controlled devices that enable them to use multiple input voltages, tolerate variations in line voltage, consume less power, and produce high-quality cuts and gouges.
Gases. A variety of plasma and shielding gases can be used for plasma gouging, including air, nitrogen, oxygen, argon/hydrogen, and other mixed gases, provided that the system is designed for their safe use. It's important to check the system's operator manual before using specialty gases.
Figure 3 Most plasma torch manufacturers offer accessories like this leather lead protector, which is designed to prevent spark damage to the leads. |
Argon/hydrogen plasma gas can produce a clean, bright, smooth gouge on aluminum and stainless. Nitrogen plasma extends parts life and produces acceptable quality on mild steel and stainless. Air plasma provides the lowest cost of operation and acceptable quality on mild steel, stainless, and aluminum.
Torches. Today's manual air plasma torches can provide good cooling, high cutting capacity, long consumables life, and consistent cut quality. These features allow thicker material to be cut at fast speeds and improve gouging performance.
Consumables and Accessories. Many PAC systems sold today can be used for gouging with little modification or additional expense. Gouging parts often are included in a start-up kit sold with the machine or available through the distributor. Special cut charts or instructions in the operator's manual explain safety, parts, and operating parameters for gouging. Most manufacturers supply accessories specifically designed for gouging, such as metal heat shields to surround and protect the operator's hands and leather lead protectors (see Figure 3).
Gouging Techniques
Operators use a variety of techniques to achieve different gouge profiles and sizes. Generally, the torch is inclined to a 40- to 60-degree angle to the workpiece as the pilot arc is formed and the arc transfers to the plate. The operator then feeds the arc into the gouge, moving the torch along the plate in a forward motion. Steeper angles and slower speeds cause the arc to penetrate more deeply into the workpiece. Smaller angles and faster speeds remove less material and produce a shallower gouge. Figure 4shows some of the gouge profiles that are possible.
Figure 4 Several gouge profiles can be obtained by varying the process parameters of speed, torch angle, and standoff. |
Three different techniques are illustrated inFigure 5:
- Straight gouge
- Side gouge
- Weaving gouge
A single-pass straight gouge produces a relatively narrow, parabolic groove. For gouging wider and deeper sections, weaving or side gouging may be used.
Plasma gouging was developed as a tool for weld removal and weld preparation. Backgouging was used to remove metal from the reverse side of arc-welded joints to eliminate defects and improve strength. Weld defects such as cracks, porosity, and lack of fusion could be gouged out using a plasma torch and then repaired with a new, sound weld.
Figure 5 Straight, side, and weaving are three types of gouging techniques. |
Today plasma arc gouging has wider industrial applications, from shipbuilding and maintenance, to heavy equipment manufacturing and repair, to manufacturing of truck bodies, tanks, and steel structures. Plasma gouging removes strong backs, lifting lugs, temporary brackets, tack welds, and rivets. It's also suitable for demolition or salvage operations to disassemble welded structures. In foundries it removes excess material from castings. Anywhere surplus metal, excess weld, or defects need to be removed, plasma gouging can be used.

A-Rod done for season, turns attention to appeal
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
HOUSTON -- Saying that he will be "fighting for my life and my whole legacy," Alex Rodriguez said that he is "excited" to begin his appeal of a 211-game drug suspension.
The appeal process of Rodriguez's suspension is scheduled to begin on Monday at Major League Baseball's offices in New York. Rodriguez said that he will be present for each day of the proceedings, and expects the appeal to last for five days.
"This has been a burden, a big burden. Let's get it on," Rodriguez said. "It starts on Monday. Better to face it head on."
Rodriguez can turn his attention to his legal situation because he said on Saturday that he will not play this weekend against the Astros due to lingering soreness in his legs. He thus completes a campaign in which he played in 44 games after returning from the disabled list in August.
"It's been one of the most challenging years of my career, without a doubt," Rodriguez said. "But I am proud of the way the team played and fought. I don't think anybody would have thought that we would have been playing meaningful games here on Sept. 24, 25. We gave it a good shot."
Rodriguez returned from hip surgery to complete the year batting .244 with seven home runs and 19 RBIs. He said that he had struggled to adjust to duty as a designated hitter after sustaining hamstring and calf injuries in September.
"I think I was pleasantly surprised while I was healthy the first month," Rodriguez said. "I was able to move around well at third, drive the ball, improve my hitting against right-handed [pitchers], hit balls that are 95-plus [mph] -- all things I wasn't able to do the year before. Those things, you build on those. I look forward to immediately getting into the hardcore workouts to help this team win again."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Rodriguez should prepare this winter as a third baseman, and if his legs are healthy, Girardi believes Rodriguez can still be a force in the middle of the order. But it is uncertain when Rodriguez would actually be able to return to big league action; if the 211-game ban is completely upheld by independent arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, Rodriguez's 2014 season would be wiped out.
Horowitz also has the ability to reduce Rodriguez's suspension or nix it altogether. Rodriguez said that he would not discuss details of the case or his expectations for the appeal.
"Obviously, this is going to be a grueling process all the way through until it's completely over," Rodriguez said. "You'll hear the full story when the time is right for me. That time is not just now."

Quote:Re the history issue. You may care to take the approach that karate started day one 1477 and was defined thus as materially different from Chuan Fa (kung fu). That could be seen as the absolutist opinion (hint not likely to be popular with genuine historians). Or, the alternative view which I buy into which says that although karate can to an extent be traced back, it was likely a gradual process building up as basically a spreading of Chuan Fa which over time became distinct from mainland (Chinese) practices. This date of the watershed is open to debate but saying its 1800s is not historically ignorant. I suggest we put this issue aside as it will defocus the tread. However, I will reiterate my point for clarity: What I was getting at is that kata as we think of them is not that old and that the kata themselves are substantially different from what would have been practiced when Chinese masters were still the primary source of reference for Okinawan MAists. This undermines the Ancient justifications so often argued in katas favor. Quote: I think one would have to have many years doing kata and learning bunkai to be an authority on them. Can we assume that you are an authority and that everyone elses opinion is less valid? Please lets not fall into this trap, remember that a fair smattering of katas keenest supporters are comparatively inexperienced it works both ways. Quote:Who's to be the decider of if any style evolves or not.Who says karate does not evolve with kata?Well I suppose musical kata is an evolution. Lol. No, but the natural extension of kata has evolved argument directly counteracts your previous kata is ancient argument. Its beginning to sound like youre inclined to rattle of a mixed list of logics supporting kata without a unified construction. Quote:It is my experience that the best practitioners of martial arts are those who study and practice kata the most diligently. Well we should be glad youre sharing such a vast experience. A pity of course that you arent sufficiently experienced of the likes of Helio Gracie, Kano (see note 1 below) and Muhammad Ali, then perhaps youd see the ridiculousness of such an argument. Interesting comparison can be made between the evolution of Jiujitsu kata and karate kata. In jiujitsu the kata developed as a safe way of practicing LEATHAL moves mainly because weaponry, particularly swords, was the focus. When unarmed SD became the focus this tradition of kata carried forwards even though the moves were NOT LEATHAL in the same manner. Kanos genius was that he identified this inconsistency. A similar pattern can be applied to Karate. Arguably the evolution of American Kickboxing from karate demonstrates a similar Darwinian logic. However, in mainstream karate people still insist on performing kata even though the moves that materially make up karate are NOT LEATHAL in the training context. I realize that this fact may be have a knee jerk unpopularity with some, but lets keep things in perspective whens the last time someone died sparring reverse punch? Note 1. Just to preemptively extinguish any misguided debate on whether Kano was a diligent katiast. He wasnt, he openly disregarded the jiujitsu kata emphasis and carried over only an extremely limited (and sidelined) notion of kata to Judo which at any rate is fundamentally different from kata in karate.
Quote: I think one would have to have many years doing kata and learning bunkai to be an authority on them.
Quote:Who's to be the decider of if any style evolves or not.Who says karate does not evolve with kata?
Quote:It is my experience that the best practitioners of martial arts are those who study and practice kata the most diligently.
Quote:Um.. youve obviously not spent anytime at all with traditional Karate kata to think that they dont contain Lethal techniques. Kata is designed to adapt to any situation. It can teach you ways of dealing with a situation where lethal force is being used or where only a simple controlling lock is needed.
Quote:You can take a single or series of techniques from kata and use them in a very controlling manner i.e and arm lock or controlling wrist lock or pin. Or you can take those same moves and escalate them in to something a little more lethal, i.e, nerve strikes, neck breaks, and strikes for rupturing organs.

ZOMLOG, this is so exciting! The Godless Perverts Story has received a donation of three — count 'em, three — blasphemous sex toys, to be given away as door prizes at our April 13 San Francisco event! (Event details below.) The toys come from Divine Interventions, fine manufacturers of high-quality silicone sex toys both secular and sacreligious. The company has given us:
a Jackhammer Jesus dildo;
a Baby Jesus Buttplug;
and a Bible Thumper. (The notch in the Bible Thumper fits a standard bullet vibrator, which is not included CORRECTION: The Bible Thumpers sold on the Divine Interventions website are sold separately from the vibrators, but the company has provided us with a vibrator to go with the one we're giving away.) Each toy will come with its own small bottle of Holy Water Lube. We'll be giving them away as door prizes at the San Francisco event.
If we weren't going to hell before this, we sure are now.
Co-hosted by David Fitzgerald, Chris Hall, and me, the Godless Perverts Story Hour is an evening about how to have good sex without having any gods, goddesses, spirits, or their earthly representatives hanging over your shoulder and telling you that you're doing it wrong. We'll be bringing you depictions, explorations, and celebrations of godless sexualities, as well as critical, mocking, and blasphemous views of sex and religion. The evening's entertainment will have a range of voices — sexy and serious, passionate and funny, and all of the above — talking about how our sexualities can not only exist, but even thrive, without the supernatural. The Godless Perverts Story Hour has a performance event scheduled in San Francisco on April 13. We have a munch/ social gathering on April 17, at Wicked Grounds, San Francisco's famous kink-themed coffee house. And for the first time, we're taking the show on the road, and are doing a Godless Perverts Story Hour event at the free ReasonFest conference in Kansas, on April 21. Mark your calendars now!
San Francisco:
On Saturday, April 13, 7pm: Take a break from filing your taxes to join us again at the Center for Sex and Culture, 1349 Mission St, San Francisco, CA (near Civic Center BART) for another Godless Perverts Story Hour. The last one was a great success, and we've got some new names performing, as well as some favorites from our first event. Maggie Mayhem, alas, has had to drop out of this event — but we still have an awesome lineup of readers and performers, including Greta Christina, David Fitzgerald, Chris Hall, Heina, Victor Harris, Liberty N. Justice, Anthony O'Con, and Kate Sirls. Plus, at this event only, blasphemous sex toys to be given away as door prizes!
On Tuesday, April 16, 7pm: Okay, so the tax thing is over and you can start to relax a bit. Join us for coffee and conversation at the Godless Perverts Munch. For those not familiar with the term, a "munch" is a term developed by BDSM communities for an informal get-together of people at a restaurant or café. We'll be gathering at Wicked Grounds, San Francisco's famous kink-themed coffee house. Godless Perverts isn't just about holding readings; a big part of it is building community so that people can talk openly about sexuality and atheism. This is the first time that we've held a munch, and if it goes off well, we hope to have lots more.
Reasonfest; Lawrence, KA:
And on Sunday, April 21, 6pm: For the first time, we're going to be venturing out of the Bay Area. The folks at Reasonfest have agreed to have us host a Godless Perverts Story Hour at the conference, so if you're attending, please join us. And if you're not attending — now you have extra incentive! In addition to GPSH co-founders and co-hosts Greta Christina and David Fitzgerald, Amanda Brown, Bridget Gaudette, and Keith Lowell Jensen are going to share their insights on religion, godlessness, and fucking. There's no admission price — Reasonfest is a completely free conference, happening April 20-21, and we're winding up the event on Sunday evening — so if you're in the area, or have any way of getting there, be sure to check it out.
So mark your calendars now! You don't want to miss this. And if you want to stay in the loop about these and other Godless Perverts events, follow us on Twitter at @GodlessPerverts, or sign up for our email newsletter. Hope to see you soon!

first flight and some pictures of the DJI Innovations S800 Spreading Wings from Quadcotpers Uk (http://quadcopters.co.uk)
The S800 Came packaged in a very neat Alu Case with 2 layers . The great thing about the S800 frame is that it is
ideal for transporting because of the way the arms and centre plate detach.
The landing gear is then simply unbolted and this then all packs nicely in the case even without removing the propellers.
The first flight was uneventful and with initial gain settings of around 200 the results are in the video .
Please excuse the bad light but this was getting late when the build was finished and we couldn't wait to fly .
There will be more videos to follow when we get some free time and kind weather.
Also going to run more tests with 5s and 6s Lipo Set ups .
