Barbarian Initiationbysabb©
Throwing his head back and arching his body, Garr cried to his lover in ecstasy, "Deeper, deeper," and wrapped his legs about the barbarian Konan's narrow hips, pulling their pelvises even closer and more tightly together, as the barbarian plowed the lean young mountain warrior's ass canal with his huge weapon.
And he was plowing the lean young warrior Garr very well, and very deeply and fully, for he was Konan. And Garr lay back and bucked his hips for him as he did, then Konan plowed him for a long time more as Garr ran his legs up his lover's chest and Konan pulled his thighs in close. And Garr moaned and cried out in his passion, "Ride me hard, barbarian, work my ass with your mighty tool, never stop. Oh, deeper. Oh faster. Ohh. Filllllll meeeee," he cried as he shuddered and released his own pent up cream, so it shot up his belly to his chest and beyond.
But it had not always been so, when they had met Garr had been full of fear of Konan's mighty weapon. And his fears were understandable, unfortunately, for Garr had been cruelly treated when a captive of the raiders, who had taken him and were known to be slave traders. And the great barbarian Konan had shown another side of himself to free Garr of his fear.
Urk and Konan crouched down and watched.
The raider's camp looked to have been occupied for some time, with a pen set up for their horses and many possessions in piles lying under the rock. It was set up on smooth sand that lay in the shadow of a great stone overhang on the bank of the river. Its bed was mostly sand now in the dry season, but there was a narrow channel of fast-flowing water at its centre and odd marshy patches could be seen in the distance, in the wider river bed. The smoke of the raider's small campfire was being broken up and dispersed by the rock above them, so they could be warm and eat cooked meat without giving any sign of their hiding place to those searching for them. And it had only been Urk's great skill as a tracker that had brought him and Konan to this hidden, secret place.
Now, as evening fell, the friends were hidden behind huge slabs of rock that had fallen aeons ago from the cliffs above them, observing the rituals of the camp. And they smelt the aroma of grilling meat, which reminded them that their own stomachs were empty and rumbling after two full days of searching.
They watched the dozen dark-haired raiders sitting about their fire, eating grilled meat and passing a wine skin between themselves, laughing and talking. This continued for some time until it was fully dark and the only light was from the fire and from the moon that hung conveniently low in the sky above the far bank of the riverbed. When the food was eaten and the wine almost gone, two men got up and went deeper into the shadowed space under the overhang. Konan and Urk strained to see where they had gone, but saw no more then the two returning minutes later with a struggling captive.
Urk's body tensed at the arrival of the young mountain warrior among his captors but then relaxed partly when he saw that it was not Rogg. But it was still a young man of great importance to him, as all four of those taken by the raiders were close kin of his.
The three older warriors, and the younger almost-warrior, Garr, had been captured when they had gone out to perform the sacred rites of initiation into manhood for Garr. And Urk and Konan both knew that the raiders would sell the four as slaves, if they got them across the mountains and down to the great city by the sea.
Young Garr, the youngest of the four, being hardly past his eighteenth year, was the one who had been dragged out first to stand before his captors, who had formed themselves into a circle. One from the circle stood up and went over to him, and the two watchers knew this must be the raider's leader, as he was larger than the others and wore a great collar of beads and metal about his neck, which had not been visible when he was seated on the far side of the fire. The leader examined Garr all over, inspecting his teeth, feeling his arms and legs, then tearing his loincloth away and weighing his male parts in his hands and fondling them. Urk and Konan looked on, wanting to save Garr from the humiliation he was suffering, but knowing that the two of them, even though both great warriors, could not overcome those twelve rough and dangerous raiders while they were all together.
The leader then seemed to be stroking Garr's manhood with his fist, and Garr struggled against his captors. But he was tied at the wrists and hobbled at the ankles, with one man at his arms behind him and two others taking his legs and holding them steady and parted. So he was unable to pull his rising organ from the leader's grasp.
In the firelight Garr's pole grew to a reasonable length and thickness, and once the leader had made it spout its youthful seed, the leader released the young captive and he was dragged back under the rock overhand into the darkness from where he had come. Then the other three captives were dragged out one by one, and the leader examined them and made each one's manhood reach its full size and shoot its load before they were returned to where they had been brought from. The last to appear was Rogg, and when the leader had begun to work him up, his men all craned their necks to see the huge size and thickness of Rogg's growing organ.
As his manhood grew to its full size and thickness, Rogg was fondled by all the party, the laughing men running their hands over his balls, squeezing and tugging at them, and over his manhood, gripping it and poking at its hole. Then one of the raiders was on his knees before him, taking that great tool into his mouth and sucking upon it greedily. And another had gone on his knees behind Rogg and had buried his face between his full muscular cheeks.
Rogg was young and, in spite of his situation, soon shook and moaned and filled the raider's mouth with his first seed, then another burst went over the man's body and a third over the hands of several. They exclaimed at the large amount of man cream Rogg had, and how strongly he pumped it out. Urk trembled with anger at seeing them treat Rogg like some pleasure slave.
Rogg was taken away soon after, but the young lean Garr was brought out again, and Konan observed that he was not only the youngest but also the most lithe and slender of the four captives.
Now the leader had Garr pushed onto his knees, and though the young man yelled and kicked, his tied hands and his tied ankles made him helpless. Men pulled his legs as far apart as his bonds allowed and forced his head to the ground. Meanwhile, the leader pulled his short thick organ free of his britches and waved it about and, kneeling behind the young captive, slapped it on Garr's pale ass cheeks.
Then with little preparation, he drove it into Garr's virgin hole. The young man screaming at the pain of the leader's cruel invasion. But the raiders laughed loudly, enjoying the young captives pain, and their leader roughly and cruelly thrust into him again and again, finally spouting his seed across Garr's back as the young man fell to the ground.
Garr remained lying in a heap as the leader strutted about holding his tool, which still had some stiffness, shaking it and saying, "See how great and strong my weapon is. It has almost killed this weak mountain man. A warrior? Ha. A weakling. As are all mountain men. Fit for nothing but the slave market."
Garr was dragged away then and, to the watchers, that appeared to be the end of the evening's entertainment. The raiders moved away from the fire, or pulled their blankets closer to it, and lay down and quietened. The fire was damped down with sand till it was only a small glow, and just one man remained sitting by it and keeping watch.
The raiders had grown complacent after using the hiding place so long, and the watch man didn't wake anyone to take his place when he wandered off to piss. So they were unaware he never returned. But Konan crept back to where Urk was hidden and, squeezing his arm in reassurance, handed him another knife, the raider's blade that was sharp and long.
Then silently Konan and Urk left their hiding spot and approached the sleeping party. The men moved under their blankets and made sleeping noises, and it was not as dark beneath the overhang as it might have been, as the moon was still sitting low in the sky. Then Urk was squatting beside one dark sleeping shape and there was no more than a faint grunt as he found a use for the raider's knife. Then he was beside another, and Konan had silently slit the throat of a third man already. Silently and quickly Urk and Konan continued their work and there were but three or four men left alive when one turned over at the sound of a stifled cry and shouted out.
But it was too late. Those left alive were still struggling to stand as Konan and Urk reached them. The camp was suddenly silent, and Urk bent to stir the coals throwing light over the scene of death about them. Then he threw more wood on the fire before he took up a burning log and he and Konan moved to the back of the overhang where the prisoners had been dragged.
They crawled back as the roof got lower and then found a side cave and the captives in there, tied up and chained to stakes driven into the stone walls. Garr lay huddled up, his face stained with tears, and with blood - but only a small amount, the two men were relieved to see - about his rear and between his thighs. Konan cut him free and almost carried him from the cave, as Urk freed the other three young men, embracing Rogg, who kissed him ferociously.
They gathered down by the flowing water in the riverbed, and though it was cold, the freed captives all lay or sat in the cleansing water. They splashed it over themselves, washing the stench of their captivity and the raider's foul hands from their lean, strong bodies.
Urk joined his lover, Rogg, in the fast-flowing water and used his hands to cleanse his manhood as it quickly rose up to greet him. Then he and Rogg lay in the water and rolled about in it, embracing and cleansing themselves in the coolness, as they moved against the sand and each other. The water was cold, so they felt the heat of each other's bodies gladly, and pressed against each other with the heat of the others skin against their skin inflaming their desire even more, as they kissed, and touched each other's organs and entrances.
Soon Rogg was kneeling in the water with Urk knelt behind him between his spread thighs, and Urk was running his tongue and fingers about Rogg's puckered rim as Rogg moaned and whispered to Urk of what he wanted him to do to reassert his possession of him. They were rough words of fucking and cum. And Urk had his fingers inside Rogg, as Rogg stroked his own massive pole and it spouted into the water beneath him, his seed carried off to the ocean.
Urk's own manhood was of just as massive a size as Rogg's and was standing tall and dark in the dim light, unseen precum dribbling from its tiny mouth, and Urk rubbed it over Rogg's rim and into his loosening hole.
Garr had gone a bit away from the others and lay alone in the cold water, shaking and trying to clean the stench and abuse of the raiders from his body, as Konan kept a worried eye on him. The other two young men now sat on the wet sand beside the river and, with their own tools in their hands, stroked themselves and ran their hands over their bodies, tweaking and pinching and fondling their balls, as Urk pressed the huge knob of his manhood to the loosened hole of the begging Rogg.
Rogg moaned, "Fill me. I need your manhood inside me. Drive it in. Hard. Fuck me deep. Take me Urk. Take me strong and hard, make me yours again." And Urk did, driving his knob into Rogg's passage and then driving his tool further into him, reaching the spot he knew and rubbing his knob against that, twisting and turning it inside his lover. Then pushing his manhood deeper, Rogg welcoming it into his core with moans and whimpers as they were connected, curling pubic hair mixed with curling ass hair, two bodies joined in shared heat and lust. Urk rocked himself inside the tight, embracing passage of his lover and moaned at the feel of that channel on his throbbing tool, as Rogg moaned with him.
There were cries of, "Yes, yes," and, "Fuck him, fuck him deep," from the two young men watching, who came quickly at the sight of Urk's great tool being buried to the hilt and then fucking in and out of Rogg's hole.
Garr blocked his ears and hissed, "How can they. It is so painful. How could any man?" and Konan heard him and replied.
"The raider was cruel. A real man will seek to give pleasure to another he enters, as Urk and Rogg do. It is a most pleasurable thing."
"I can't believe it," Garr whimpered, still trying to cleanse the suffering of his capture from his body, but unable to remove it from his mind with the cold water.
Konan soon pulled Garr from the water and half dragged him back to the fire where he found clean rugs and wrapped them about him and fed him from what food there was about, making him eat. In the background, the sounds of Urk and Rogg's passionate joining filled the night air.
The other two young men joined them and ate their fill too and talked of their capture as Konan listened. Garr sat huddled still and joined in occasionally but said little. Konan sat closer to him and rubbed the blanket over him, as he still shivered, and young Treg asked what had happened when they took him out of the cave the second time.
"The leader forced his manhood into me," he whispered.
"So was it pleasurable?" Treg asked
"Pleasurable?" Garr cried out unexpectedly. "I cannot believe any man would find it pleasurable," he replied angrily, showing how much he had been hurt.
Konan took hold of him and pulled him to him. "It is pleasurable for any man who is prepared well," he said firmly, looking Garr in the eyes.
"Yes," said Treg, "Konan is right," and he approached the two of them.
Konan began to run his hands over Garr's body, rubbing the lean and frightened young Garr's nipples, gently but firmly.
"See, is this not good?" The barbarian asked softly.
"Yes. But . . . But that is not what he did," Garr replied, "I . . ."
Konan found Garr's lips with his, blocking off whatever he was going to say and continued his rubbing with one hand as the other began to roam gently over Garr's body.
Treg could see Garr's nipples harden and said, "See? Is that not pleasant? You shall have your initiation now, Garr. Konan and I shall show you what you can enjoy. Remember I am kin, Garr, and would not lie to you."
"Yes. But. . . . ," Garr whimpered, even as his own organ began to grow under the attentions of Konan's fingers, which now gently stroked it and played with his foreskin, moving it back and revealing he head of his stiffening cock.
Then suddenly Garr tried again to pull away, because he had looked down and seen the huge tent Konan's rising manhood was making in his loincloth. Showing Garr that he was far longer, and thicker than the raider's leader had been and frightening him.
Konan placed a great hand under Garr's chin and, lifting his face and looking into his eyes, said, "I promise that you shall feel only what is good. And my weapon is not for you, unless you ask for it."
"Never," Garr cried out, meaning it
Kneeling behind him Treg kissed the back of Garr's neck and across his shoulders and played his hands over the younger man's back and arms, moving in and placing his thighs outside Garr's. And Konan continued to look into Garr's eyes while stroking his young manhood into hardness and occasionally let his fingers roam to Garr's sac to squeeze and tug at that.
Garr began to pant and to feel his lust rise, discovering that the attentions of the two men were bringing him to a state of heat and desire that he had never felt before. Without thought, he lifted his hips higher, raising his butt up, and Treg ran his hands under Garr's cheeks, squeezing them and stroking them and his fingers drifted closer to Garr's entrance. Now the fourth young captive, Tor went over to them with a pot of oil that the raiders had left by the fire, and Treg and Konan dipped their fingers into it, and now Konan's hand was slick and slid over Garr's pole like silk, but tight-wrapped, caressing silk.
"Unhhh," Garr moaned, and gazing into his eyes, Konan saw him let go of his fear.
Behind him, Treg was running oily fingers up and down the younger man's crease, sliding over his sore rim, making the hole twitch and tighten in a most pleasurable way. But Garr's eyes opened wider, looking at Konan with new fear.
"No," he whimpered, "No," moving his hands as if to push Treg and Konan away, but Konan bent his head and took Garr's mouth into a kiss and tightened the fist he was sliding up and down his pole, leaving his thumb to circle and press on the tiny mouth in it's head.
Garr lay between surrender and fright as Treg pressed the tip of one finger against Garr's twitching puckered rim and the long slender oiled finger slid in easily. Treg closed his eyes the better to feel the place inside Garr where he wanted to rest his fingertip. Garr hung there, wondering at how easily and painlessly he had been entered and then was feeling something stirring deep inside him that was making his weapon leak its creamy seed. Konan felt Garr relax again and, freeing his mouth, bent his head to lick the drops from the crown of the young man's manhood.
Now Garr moaned and moved his hips in ecstasy, his hands moving to Konan's head and gripping his hair. And if there was soreness at his entrance, then he was no longer aware of it as his organ throbbed and his balls ached with the need to cum. But now Konan lulled his head back and instead kissed up Garr's belly to his chest and beyond to his neck Garr moaning," Finish me, don't stop," and reaching for his own tool but having his hands pulled away by Tor, who held them up as he kissed Garr's mouth.
Meanwhile, Treg had inserted another oily finger into Garr's passage and began to slide both in and out. Garr now moaned steadily and his hips moved along with the action of Treg's fingers, straining too to rub his tool against Konan's great thighs, to gain release.
Urk and Rogg arrived to see them thus. Garr on his knees, his thighs wide, his ass pushed back to Treg, whose fingers fucked him, Tor kissing his mouth and holding his arms high as Konan crouched before him fondling his chest and now, again, dropping his head to Garr's manhood and taking it fully into his mouth and sucking. Sucking searching all about it with his tongue. Garr finally came, sending his spoutings into Konan's throat.
Garr went weak and sagged forward then, spent, but Treg held his hips as Tor released his arms and mouth and Konan guided the young warrior's head into his lap.
Konan ran his hands over Garr's back and his ass cheeks, and as Treg withdrew his two fingers, Konan pressed just one deep into Garr's channel, stretching it more, and Garr moaned in willing acceptance. Tor looked on, stroking himself to his own release.
Treg's weapon was long and thin and already hard enough to press into Garr's loosened, well-oiled entrance, as Konan held his cheeks spread. Now Garr whimpered briefly as Treg entered him, and again as he slid deeper and pulled back slightly, but Treg was gentle as he began to plow Garr's passage, and Garr's whimpers turned to grunts and moans of pleasure as Treg began to plow him deeply. And Garr's mouth had found the head of Konan's great weapon, and his hands reached under and pushed away the loincloth covering it, and Garr took its great cap into his mouth and began to suck and lick it greedily. And as he felt it grow to its full hardness, he couldn't stop wondering what such a massive shaft of manhood would feel like working him where Treg's fine long tool now was. And the motion of his hips grew wilder as he thought of it.

Cadillac ATS, Ram Pickup Win Car and Truck of the Year Prizes
For the past year Cadillac has touted its new ATS compact sport sedan as a BMW 3 Series fighter. Now the Caddy has beaten the Bimmer in at least one arena. It won the North American Car of the Year award today at the Detroit auto show.
Chrysler's Ram 1500 pickup truck won the Truck of the Year prize.
The results were predictable. The ATS, Cadillac's first U.S. small car in decades, had the advantage of novelty and performance over the Ford Fusion and Honda Accord, which are long-running family sedan designs that were reworked for 2013.

I really find most boycotts distasteful, no matter who is calling for one. I hate it when Left-wing groups do it, I hate it when Conservatives do it. So this story, about a group of women stricken with Offendeditis, yes,conservatives can contract this malady just like Liberals can, who are demanding we boycott J.C. Penney because they had Ellen DeGeneres do a commercial for them, she is a Lesbian you know, is pathetic. Who she sleeps with is her business. I remember catching some of her show, a few years ago. She had one of George W. Bush's daughters on, and treated her very well. She seems like a decent person to me, what skin is it off my nose if she is a spokesperson for a store I sometimes shop at?
Donald Douglas has the commercial, that has so offended a group calling themselves One Million Moms, how original.
What is offensive about this ad? Nothing, but, the mere fact that DeGeneres is playing for the other team offends this group. So it is boycott time! Give me a break! This is more like look at us time
A J. C. Penney Christmas commercial featuring openly gay talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has angered a Christian group called One Million Moms, which called for a boycott of the retailer.
"JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again," the group said in a statement. "Christians must now vote with their wallets."
"We have contacted J C Penney's several times in the past with our concerns, and they will not listen," the statement continued. "They have decided to ignore our complaints and so we will avoid them at all costs."
The group — which is affiliated with the ultraconservative American Family Assn. — has criticized J. C. Penney several times this year for ads or commercials including lesbian or gay people.
In February, One Million Moms urged shoppers to boycott Penney's after the company first named DeGeneres as a spokeswoman, but later dropped the campaign after several critics, including Fox News host Bill O'Reilley, attacked the group's efforts.
Oh they are afilliated with the AFA, that explains a lot. Groups like these strike me as people who like to think that everything on TV ought to be pre-approved by them. You can hit their website and check out the things that outrage them. Many of the alerts I saw were asinine frankly. Sorry, folks, but EVERYTHING on TV is not going to be for children. They are no better than the politically correct Liberals who want to shut up anyone who says things they do not like. They strike me as overly sensitive and whiny, two things that are a big part of what is wrong with America. There are many channels, many shows, many movies, many choices. If you do not like something then change the channel, it is not difficult!
So, I am sure I have now offended some Social Conservatives, and that is OK. I am more of a person that believes that in a free society, we are going to be offended sometimes. When a place of business offends me in some way, I do not call for a boycott, I simply do not go back. When I see something I do not like on TV, I change the channel. When Bill Maher, or any of the MSNBS hosts say something twisted and despicable, and that is pretty much anytime they open their mouths, I do not try to launch a campaign to get them fired. Why would I they have a right to free speech too. And I enjoy using MY free speech to go after their ideologies. And yes, the One Million Easily Offended Moms have a right to call for a boycott, no matter how distasteful it is to me. See how it works?

John Ewald needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 80 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
A new logo for our Kubota tractor dealership. A simple two-color design would be preferable. For more info about our company, check out http://www.ewaldtractor.com .
Ewald Kubota, Inc. (you can drop the "Inc." if you'd like)
Hi, we're changing the name of our Kubota tractor dealership from Ewald Tractor, Inc. to Ewald Kubota, Inc. (You can drop the "Inc." if you'd like.) The Kubota colors are orange and teal, which I would like to incorporate into our logo. But, here's the catch: we make these into decals to stick on our orange Kubota tractors, which is why the current logo is black and white. The problem is, the tractors are orange, so it needs to stand out against an orange background.
We usually have enough space for a decal about 3.5" tall and 7" wide.
- Item 1...An orange and teal logo that will stand out against an orange background.
- Item 2...Needs to be visible and look good as a decal in a space 3.5" x 7".
- Item 3...I'm not familiar with this stuff, but I need it in "vector"
- Item 1...

In a move aimed toward enhancing the fan experience watching at the track and at home, NASCAR has announced a new group qualifying format for its three national series that is more compelling, more closely emulates actual on-track competition and underlines the sport's on-going commitment to innovation.
At tracks measuring 1.25 miles in length or larger, qualifying for the Coors Light Pole Award will consist of three rounds:
At tracks measuring less than 1.25 miles, qualifying for the Coors Light Pole Award will consist of two rounds:
The new qualifying format does not apply to the Daytona 500, which will preserve its historic and unique qualifying format. Additionally, it does not apply to non-points NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events or the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Eldora Speedway.
NASCAR previewed the concept of group qualifying with its national series teams late last fall and expects the new format will be a well-received improvement by its fans, competitors, tracks, sponsors and media partners.
"We believe the timing is right for a new qualifying format across our three national series," said Robin Pemberton, vice president for competition and racing development. "This style of group qualifying has all the makings of being highly competitive and more engaging to our fans in the stands and those watching on television and online. For the drivers and teams, we believe this new qualifying will fuel even greater competition leading into the events. Additionally, it provides our tracks, broadcasters and other key partners with a greater opportunity to develop more entertaining content for our race weekends."

According to Goldman Sachs analyst Bill Shope, Apple COO Tim Cook suggested during a meeting that the tablet market -- which is currently dominated by the iPad -- could eclipse the PC market over the next several years.
Shope says, "the company appeared more overtly optimistic on the long-term prospects for the iOS platform than it has been in quite some time." Cook said, "he sees no reason why the tablet market shouldn't eclipse the PC market over the next several years," according to Shope's note.
Analysts say a lot of things, and Cook's words do seem a little far-fetched, but given Apple's growth in the tablet market (which they essentially created) it's not completely unheard of. Shope calculates Apple could sell 8.1 million iPads for the June quarter, which would represent a 72% increase year-over-year.
So how long before the iPad starts putting the stomp on PC sales? Sound off in the comments!

Pregnant Zoe Saldana dodges Ice Bucket Challenge
Actress ZOE SALDANA has finally acknowledged the fact she is pregnant by refusing to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
The movie star was nominated by her Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, but in a poolside video posted online on Tuesday (19Aug14), she explained she was in no condition to have freezing water tipped over her head and instead let her new husband Marco Perego take the plunge.
Rubbing her bulging belly, the mum-to-be said, "Obviously I can't do it myself so I nominate my husband to take on the challenge."
Saldana then nominated her Avatar director James Cameron, pals Salma Hayek and Aileen Getty and businessman Ron Burkle.
Reports suggest the actress is expecting twins later this year (14). She and Perego wed last summer (13).
Celebrities including Ben Affleck, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Hugh Jackman and Justin Timberlake all recently took the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise cash and awareness for charity the ALS Association.

Measure Perfect Positioning System
Video Manual PPS Measurement:
You can determine your body measurements and perfect frame size in just a few simple steps using our Perfect Positioning System (PPS-System).
This is how you measure your inseam:
Take a spirit level and tuck it between your legs. Using both hands (at your front and back) pull up the spirit level or book into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. The spirit level should remain horizontal during the entire measurement. Now measure the distance from the top edge of the spirit level down to the ground. This is your inseam measurement. Measure without shoes and wearing cycling shorts. Picture 1
This is how you measure your torso length:
You measure your torso length by tucking a spirit level between your legs, as with the inseam measurement. Keep your upper body completely straight. Now measure from the top edge of the spirit level vertically up to the base of your neck (top end of your sternum). Picture 2
This is how you measure your shoulder width:
You measure your shoulder width by feeling your way outwards from your shoulder blade until you reach the edge of the shoulder bone. You'll be able to feel this by moving your arm slightly. Stand up straight with your arms hanging down while your helper measures horizontally from the edge of your right shoulder to the edge of your left shoulder. Picture 3
This is how you measure your arm length:
Let your right arm hang down loosely by your side and feel your way with your left hand outwards across the shoulder blade right to the edge of your shoulder bone. Then keep your left hand on this point. Then grasp a pencil with your right fist, thereby simulating holding your handlebar. Then stretch your right arm frontwards away from you, turning your fist so that the pencil points vertically upwards. Your helper should now measure the distance from a point at the edge of your shoulder bone (already fixed by your left hand) to the middle of the pencil. Picture 4
When you have completed all these measurements, you can easily determine the perfect frame size for you by using the PPS tool. Click on the relevant button to start the PPS system.

Get Technical With New Metal Gear Rising Concept Art
Platinum Games' artists Kenichirou Yoshimura and Cho took to the company's blog to detail a bit of the process in creating two of Metal Gear Rising: Revenegeance's bosses.
The Metal Gear franchise has been home to some of the most dynamic and creative characters in video games, and designing a whole new set of people to follow the line frequent Kojima Productions concept artist Yoji Shinkawa established was no doubt a daunting task for Platinum Games. In fact, it was so demanding, Kenichirou Yoshimura actually put off a move to freelancing to stay on with the company to help with Revengeance.
According to his post detailing the creation of Sam, Yoshimura was motivated to stay on with Platinum because of how far other artists had deviated from Shinkawa's influence. "Three days before I was about to leave Platinum to go freelance, without much left to do, I strolled over to the nearby Rising team to see if they needed any help," Yoshimura said. "'I could design something small, if you wanted,' I said. Then I saw their designs – the art style could not have been further from the Metal Gear universe. Immediately, I slammed my fist on the director's table. 'You cannot put this in a Metal Gear game!' I told him. Before I knew it, my last three days at Platinum turned into over half a year."
Cho's post wasn't quite as telling, but still revealed plenty about what it takes to follow in the footsteps of arguably one of the most revered and respected artists working in the industry today. Mistral, one of the bosses Cho was responsible for, definitely has all the hallmarks of what you'd expect from a Metal Gear villain, and should be quite awesome to behold in the final game.
We've included a small sampling of each artist's work below, but you can view even more at the above links.

Six New Jersey Teachers Recognized for Presidential Awards
The New Jersey Board of Education today recognized six teachers for outstanding service and commitment to their classrooms as part of the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching program. Four of the teachers won the prestigious award in 2001. Two are finalists for 2002.
The four national-award winners for 2001 are:
The two state finalists for 2002, both in the category of Elementary Science, are Susan MacDougall of the Brick Community Primary Learning Center in Brick, Ocean County; and Rosemary Beales of A. A. Anastasia School in Long Branch, Monmouth County.
"It is a great privilege to recognize and honor both our four 2001 award winners and our two finalists for 2002," Commissioner of Education William L. Librera said. "This entire group is exemplary of the type of leadership we want in our classrooms day in and day out."
The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching is the nations highest honor for teachers of mathematics and science in grades K-12. Each national award consists of a $7,500 grant from the National Science Foundation to the recipients school to be spent at the teachers direction. The award also includes expense-paid activities in Washington D.C., where award-winners receive certificates signed by the President.
For 2001, Aldona Skrypa won the award in the elementary mathematics category. Paula Thatcher won in the elementary science category. Cynthia Purcell won in the secondary mathematics category and Loris Chen won in the secondary science category.
Teachers are selected for the program based on their teaching performance, background and experience, and their participation in activities both in and out of school that relate to their roles as teachers. Applicants must demonstrate how their teaching enables students to better learn concepts in mathematics and science.
The two state finalists for 2002, Susan MacDougall and Rosemary Beales, receive a National Science Foundation state award for excellence and a $750 case award. A national selection committee will review the application packets of the state finalists and recommend a national winner for each state in each of the four categories: elementary and secondary mathematics, and elementary and secondary science.
The National Science Foundation began the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching program in 1983 by inviting each state to nominate teachers in the two fields for consideration. Teachers must have taught science and mathematics for at least five years. Nominations are made by students, parents, administrators, teachers and others. A statewide committee of science and mathematics educators make each individual states selections.
For more information, contact the Office of Innovative Programs at the New Jersey Department of Education, 609-777-0800.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Right-hander Aaron Cook has been released by the Philadelphia Phillies.
The 34-year-old agreed in January to a minor league contract and was 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA in three starts and three relief appearances during spring training. He would have been owed a $100,000 retention bonus under baseball's labor contract if he was not released Tuesday or assured in writing of a spot on the opening-day roster or major league disabled list.
"Ultimately we decided this was the best thing for all involved," Philadelphia assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said.
All-Stars Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay head a starting rotation for the Phillies that includes Kyle Kendrick and John Lannan.
Cook is 76-79 with a 4.60 ERA in 11 big league seasons with Colorado and Boston, including 4-11 with a 5.65 ERA in 18 games starts with Boston in 2012.

February 18, 2003
LOS ANGELES — Competing with the world's top-tier business schools, a team of four Anderson School MBA students was recognized for "Outstanding Consulting Practice" at the first invitational Marshall MBA Global Consulting Challenge at USC. The consulting challenge included student teams from eight top business schools to compete for a prize of $3,000. The presentations took place February 6-7, 2003 in Los Angeles.
This year's consulting challenge competitors consisted of students from The Anderson School at UCLA, The Haas School of Business, Kellogg, The London Business School, University of Michigan, Wharton, Marshall and The Yale School of Management.
The Anderson team selected to participate in the challenge consisted of MBA students John Pugliese, John Baudino, Sumant Sridharan and Michael Smith.
The competition information was given in phases to the students and began in early December 2002, when student teams were told to analyze the telecommunications industry. A few weeks later they were instructed to study the wireless industry and eventually were told to specifically analyze Cingular Wireless, one of the nation's largest wireless carriers.
There were three specific categories for the competition: company recommendation, industry recommendation and outstanding consulting. Each team had to prepare separate presentations and reports for each category and participate in grueling Q&A sessions from the judges. The judging criteria were based on analysis, content, the Q&A sessions and presentation skills.
Anderson's competition team, named "SansWire," proved their consulting expertise through a well thought-out business plan with an emphasis on customer satisfaction that impressed the judging panel of seasoned consulting professionals.
"Our focus for Cingular Wireless was on retaining customers and we recommended that Cingular offer rewards for loyal customers, such as coupons, upgrades and other incentives," said Anderson team member John Pugliese. "We weren't afraid to go against the grain and challenge the direction that the wireless industry was headed."
"Our business plans were more specific than most," said Michael Smith. "We felt we did particularly well in the Q&A for the consulting presentation and our ideas spoke well to the consultants."
The consulting challenge judges included:
- Peter R. Giuliono, Deloitte Consulting
- John C. Jefferson, SBC
- Srikanth Machala, Trianz
- Sid Valluri, Hilltop Innovation Inc.
- Amir Mahini, Mahini & Associates
- Mark Desautells, Cellular Telecom & Internet Association
- Derrick Hamilton, SBC Network Services
- Charles Yoon, Brentwood Associates
- William Cumbie, Cingular Wireless
- Leo Griffin, Monitor Group
- Wayne Harvey, Cingular Wireless
The University of Michigan Business School won the overall competition and a prize of $3,000 for their exceptional knowledge of client needs, solid analysis and risky corporate recommendations.
"We learned that events like this competition truly pull together your fundamental learning and research skills and are augmented with real world requirements such as teamwork, project management and presentation," said Pugliese. "The experience our team shared was the true prize and is something we will never forget."

Selita Ebanks will never be a Victoria's Secret Angel again
Supermodel SELITA EBANKS fears she will never work for Victoria's Secret again after she failed to make the cut for the lingerie brand's most recent fashion show.
The beauty has taken part in the annual underwear extravaganza several times before, but she wasn't included in the line-up for the 2012 event which took place in New York City in November (12) and featured performances by Rihanna and Justin Bieber.
Ebanks now reveals she failed her audition and fears her time as a Victoria's Secret Angel has come to an end.
She tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "I auditioned this year, I didn't make it. You have to show up in your panties and show off your womanly figure and walk and be pleasant and say hi to everyone and hope you still got it."
When asked if she will audition again, she replies, "Probably not, no. I think I've done what five, six shows? I think I've experienced my VS days."

Wabash Set to Host Relay for Life This Weekendby Jim Amidon • March 21, 2006 Share:
Wabash College will have no time to rest from last weekend's successful Honor Scholarship Weekend when about 350 prospective students and a couple hundred parents descended on campus.
This week Wabash will host the Montgomery County Relay for Life from 7 p.m. Friday through 7 a.m. on Saturday. We expect around 800 people to fill Knowling Field House for the cancer fundraiser. The theme for this year's Relay is baseball: "Hitting Cancer Out of the Park."
This marks the third straight year that Wabash has served as the Relay's host. The first year came as a surprise when massive thundershowers flooded Hoover Field and forced Relay organizer Ruthanna Williamson to scramble. The event turned out so well that we moved it to Wabash last spring, where it's likely to stay for a long time.
Last year about 50 relay teams raised more than $60,000 for cancer research, awareness, and outreach activities
This year's event should be even bigger since Wabash students are planning to field as many as a dozen teams. And, since they're college students, we expect the students to bring a big physical and emotional boost in the wee hours of Saturday morning when most relay walkers have headed home for the night.
This year's format follows that of past years, except that the event starts an hour later at 7:00 p.m. Once again participants may purchase luminaries to honor loved ones who have been victims of cancer and balloons to honor cancer survivors.
Survivors are encouraged to arrive around 6:00 p.m. to get registered. The whole event kicks off with a ceremonial balloon launch that honors people who have fought cancer and won the battle! After the balloons are released, the event gets under way with the moving and emotional Survivor's Walk — a single, 200-meter lap around the Knowling Field House track.
The Relay teams then take to the track. Organizers ask every member of each team to take that first lap, then people usually settle into a relay-style, tag-team pace for the remainder of the evening.
At about 9 p.m. the Field House lights will dim and the Luminary Ceremony will begin. At this time several hundred candles are lit and the names of this community's loved ones who have died from cancer are read. This event is easily the most emotional part of the entire Relay for Life. But it also serves as a reminder of why we relay in the first place.
Food will be available from College Street Deli and Norvelle's Barbeque throughout the evening, and a number of teams will sell concession stand items; typical baseball park fare with candy and popcorn. There will also be live entertainment throughout the event.
Organizers are particularly excited about the "Midnight Skrym."
There is a rock band whose members are Wabash faculty or are husbands of women on the faculty. They call themselves "Skrymir" (say screamer) and they play a wide range of music, from Van Morrison to Led Zeppelin to bluesy original tunes.
But, the catch is that you have to stay until midnight to hear the band that includes Stephen Morillo, Patrick Myers, Dan Rogers, Joe Laskowski, and James MacDougall. There's also a rumor floating around that math professor J.D. Phillips, who broke from the band over creative differences, might make an impromptu appearance. But again, just a rumor at this point. Skrymir will begin playing at about 11 p.m.
If you're on a team or just want to stop by to see what the Relay for Life is all about, please take note that parking can be a problem at Wabash when classes are in session. If you live close enough to walk, please do. If you arrive and the two lots adjacent to Knowling Field House behind Little Giant Stadium are full, try parking in the Fine Arts Center parking lot off Grant Avenue. Please be careful not to park on curbs painted yellow; those are tow-away zones.
The Relay for Life is one of the great annual events in Montgomery County. It's the one time each year when we put aside our differences and come together in the fight against cancer. And it really will take all of us if we're going to "hit cancer out of the park!"

We are creating a specialised website for pre employment reference checks. A large part of our business model involves these being completed online; not just via a phone. We are very open-minded with the design and will provide feedback along the way in order to assist you.
Company name is "Ezy Ref Checks" Website URL will be: http://www.ezyrefchecks.com.au (and .com).
Don't want the .com.au in the logo..
Ezy Ref Checks
Ezy Ref Checks will predominantly be an online service for employers to conduct reference checks/pre-employment checks on potential employees. Traditionally these involve a phone call or perhaps a faxed form where a candidates previous employer rates/comments on their work performance. A large part of our business model is taking this online and therefore we want a fairly modern logo design that stands-out, makes a statement but is also easy on the eye due to the large variety of professionals visiting the site.
We don't really have too many ideas or restrictions on design at the moment. Bright colours vs. pastel/dull colours are preferred. We will be designing a web site and running a contest around the finished logo so this may need to be taken into consideration.
I want it to be bright/vibrant but not tacky/cheap, so keep the professional look. I know there is numerous products in the world with "Ezy" in them but our market is aimed at professional people. We just want it to bright, maybe slightly technical to emphasis that we are selling an online solution (as well as more traditional solutions). We are very open-minded with the design and will provide feedback along the way in order to assist you.
We will require the final product converted to a couple of large images that I can manipulate easily i.e. jpg as well as the vector graphics files so I can pass this onto a future designer for the website.
To be honest, we are pretty flexible with the design but in general I'm not a fan of circular designs, I like sharp edges. I would prefer to steer clear of dull colours.

Oil slips towards $103 on tepid growth outlook
London, April 29, 2013
Brent crude oil slipped towards $103 per barrel on Monday as a shaky outlook for growth in the world's biggest oil consumers, the US, Europe and China, encouraged commodities markets to consolidate.
Oil rallied from nine-month lows last week on expectations that stronger global economic activity would encourage more fuel consumption, but disappointing data has capped the recovery.
The U.S. Commerce Department reported on Friday the world's largest economy grew at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the first-quarter, below expectations of 3 percent.
Confidence in the euro zone's economy fell further in April, European Commission figures showed on Monday, with morale in the 17-country bloc down 1.5 percentage points to 88.6, worse than forecast by economists.
"Disappointing GDP data for the United States has raised concerns about the level of oil demand and led to some profit-taking after recent big gains," said Carsten Fritsch, senior oil analyst at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.
Brent lost 10 cents to $103.06 per barrel by 1100 GMT, after last week racking up its biggest one-week gain since November 2012.
Brent is more than 6 percent below its starting point in April, pressured by data suggesting the global economy remains on a fragile footing at best.
U.S. crude was up 40 cents at $93.40 a barrel, after sliding to below $86 mid-month from almost $98 at the beginning of April.
"First-quarter (U.S.) GDP really disappointed, and as long as unemployment stays high, the U.S. Federal Reserve is going to have to keep its backstop on the economy with quantitative easing," said Ben Taylor, sales trader at CMC Markets.
Traders will focus on China this week, with the world's second largest oil consumer's manufacturing data for April expected to edge up from March, a Reuters poll found.
A private sector survey of purchasing managers sponsored by HSBC last week showed activity in China's industrial sector dipped in April as new export orders shrank, spooking investors.
"There has been some concern that with an unstable Europe being one of China's biggest export markets, this could have a negative impact on the PMI number," Taylor said.
"Europe is in a really bad place at the moment, you get the sense that everyone has really given up on it and is focusing on other places to drive global growth."
The Federal Reserve is expected to keep buying $85 billion worth of bonds per month when it meets this week, with the decision announced at 1815 GMT on Wednesday.
The European Central Bank will likely cut interest rates when it meets on Thursday, a Reuters poll showed, but the step is seen doing little to pull the euro zone out of a recession. – Reuters

I wanted to find out is anyone was able to get a good bed from the insurance company. I am currently sleeping on an air mattress because that is the only thing I can seem to fall asleep on at this point without waking up in such pain it drives me crazy.
I was looking into one of the sleep number beds and wanted to know if anyone else had one or was looking into getting one and was able to get some sort of idea if it was approved by the insurance company.
Any information helps! Thanks and God Bless! Christine

Question Submitted Through hairloss.iahrs.org
IAHRS Member, Sara Wasserbauer, M.D. of Walnut Creek, CA. Responds:
Im very interested in having an FUE hair transplant but Im starting to get confused with all of the different FUE techniques being offered. Do I have a Neograft FUE (which is extremely expensive), CIT or SAFE? I also read something about FUE2 . Your website seems to be more straight forward then others and it seems that most FUE is very similar from what I am reading from your organization. Id like to feel comfortable with my decision to move forward, but this is a big step for me and I keep reading conflicting information on other websites. Can you tell me the best FUE techniques and do you recommend FUE over FUT? Thank you for your time and I look forward to any answer that you can provide.

McAllister, Indians shut out A's
Cleveland, OH – Multiple errors led to the game's only run and Zach McAllister pitched a gem as the Cleveland Indians shut out the Oakland Athletics, 1-0, in a pitcher's duel from Progressive Field.
Carlos Santana led off the decisive fifth inning with a grounder to first base, which was muffed by Brandon Moss. The ball then scooted toward second base and was picked up by Eric Sogard, whose errant throw to the pitcher covering first allowed Santana to advance to second. Mike Aviles singled Santana to third two batters later, and Yan Gomes plated Santana with a sacrifice fly to deep center field.
McAllister (3-3) went 7 2/3 innings, allowing just five hits and a walk while striking out four. Chris Perez surrendered a one-out single to Yoenis Cespedes in the ninth but got out of it unscathed for his fourth save of the season.
"I was able to get ahead of hitters," said McAllister. "When you do that you're able to get into a pretty good rhythm."
A's starter Tommy Milone (3-4) was terrific as well. He was charged with just one unearned run and five hits over seven innings of work despite the loss.
"It's disappointing when you can't get him a run or two," said manager Bob Melvin about Milone. "It looked like he was on the corners most of the night."
Both pitchers were perfect through two innings. Sogard became the game's first baserunner when he reached on an infield single with one out in the third, but next batter Michael Taylor grounded into an inning-ending double-play.
Ryan Raburn doubled to begin the bottom of the third for Cleveland, giving him 101 two-baggers for his career.
Cespedes drove an 0-1 Perez offering up the middle in the ninth, but was thrown out attempting to steal second by Gomes one batter later. Perez struck out Moss to end the game.
Game Notes
Cleveland improved to 6-1 on its current homestand ... Aviles made his second career start in left field ... Taylor went 0-for-3, bringing him to 0-for-12 on the season ... Oakland did not put a single baserunner in scoring position ... The game took just 2 hours and 28 minutes.

SunTrust Park, Atlanta, Georgia Attendance: 28,264
Braves' McCarthy hopes for better result vs. Cubs
ATLANTA -- Brandon McCarthy has been able to make all his starts in his first season with the Atlanta Braves and that's definitely been a positive for the injury-plagued veteran right-hander and his new team.
After winning his first four decisions, though, McCarthy has seen his ERA jump from 3.09 to 5.58 following two straight losses and the 34-year-old needs to get back on track Wednesday night against the Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs (22-17) scored twice in the top of the ninth on doubles by Albert Almora and Addison Russell for a 3-2 victory over the Braves (25-16) in the opener of the three-game series at SunTrust Park on Tuesday after dropping a makeup game 6-5 in Chicago on Monday.
McCarthy (4-2) will be opposed by right-hander Tyler Chatwood, who has won his last three decisions after a 0-3 start with the Cubs as a free-agent addition despite continuing control issues.
Chatwood (3-3, 3.35 ERA) has walked 32 in 37 2/3 innings, but has mitigated the wildness to some extent with 38 strikeouts.
McCarthy neither normally strikes out nor walks many. It's been too many hits that has been his downfall of late.
McCarthy gave up 12 hits and a career-worst eight runs over 3 1/3 innings in a home loss to the San Francisco Giants on May 5, then 11 hits and six runs over five innings in a road defeat to the Miami Marlins on Friday.
"As a movement pitcher, you're relying on that to get some weak contact," McCarthy said. "The last two starts, a lot of it is falling in and a lot of it is finding holes. When they do hit a ball hard, it's doing some damage. I've got to find a way to mitigate all of this.
"There's some mystery in there I've got to solve that brings it back to a good place. I didn't think the quality of pitches would lead to those kind of results. I'm pretty confused right now."
Braves manager Brian Snitker is sticking with McCarthy.
"You go through some stretches where things just aren't clicking," Snitker said. "You feel good and nothing is wrong. But it's just not happening for you. You've just got to keep grinding and fighting through it."
McCarthy made two starts against the Cubs last season for the Los Angeles Dodgers and won them both, giving up only six hits over 12 scoreless innings.
Lifetime, McCarthy is 2-1 with a 1.11 ERA in five games (four starts) against the Cubs.
Chatwood, who had a 4.69 ERA and was 8-15 with the Colorado Rockies last season, has walked at least five batters in five of his seven starts for the Cubs. However, he is 3-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his last four starts.
"I know what it is," the 27-year-old Chatwood said of his control issues. "I feel it's an easy correction, but I'm fighting it now. It's just a matter of having it click. I know what it is. I'm kind of fighting it back and forth."
"I think it's delivery-related," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "I think he needs to find that rhythm. It's a complicated delivery. If you're not all together, you have a hard time finding your release point."
Chatwood, who signed a three-year deal worth $38 million to join the Cubs, has faced the Braves seven times (five starts) and is 2-2 with a 5.60 ERA.
Control has been an issue there as well, with Chatwood recording 20 walks in 27 1/3 innings.
Freddie Freeman is 7-for-13 for the Braves against Chatwood and has walked twice.
The only Cub with more than seven at-bats against McCarthy is Ben Zobrist. He is 6-for-24 with a home run.

While corn prices have been robust this year, nitrogen prices have kept pace, prompting producers to do all they can to be more efficient in their fertilization strategies.
Side-dressing, adjustment of nitrogen levels according to a site's yield potential, and soil water availability for nitrogen up-take all are considerations when deciding how to get the most bang from your buck when fertilizing corn.
And while two years of research isn't enough to make a definitive judgment on the best strategy, it does provide a hint as to what might influence corn response to nitrogen applications.
Auburn University researchers and Extension specialists recently released the results of a two-year study on nitrogen application on corn at two locations in Alabama.
In 2009 and this past year, the study was carried out at the Tennessee Valley Research and Extension Center in Belle Mina in north Alabama and at the E.V. Smith Research Center in Shorter, located in the central part of the state.
The main goal of each study was to evaluate the impact of nitrogen fertilizer rates and timing on grain yield of two corn hybrids under irrigated conditions.
The experiment consisted of 16 different treatments where the nitrogen was applied in three different ways: 1) all nitrogen applied at pre‐plant; 2) half of the total nitrogen was applied pre‐plant and the other half in a side‐dress application at the V6 growth stage; and 3) one-third of the total nitrogen was applied pre‐plant and the remainder in a side‐dress application at the V6 growth stage.
The corn hybrids planted were Pioneer 31P42 and DeKalb 67‐87.
Experimental plots were four rows wide by 30 feet long. Treatments were replicated four times in a randomized complete block design. Yield data was recorded after harvesting the middle two rows of each plot.
Because there were no yield differences between hybrids in respect to the nitrogen treatments, average yield data for both hybrids were presented in the study.
Yield and the amount of rainfall during critical crop growth periods — tasseling and grain filling — differed between years. Overall, yield was higher in 2009 than in 2010. In 2009, corn responses to high nitrogen rates resulted in higher yield than in 2010.
When yield data was averaged over total nitrogen applied independent of the split, there were no yield increases above 150 pounds per acre at the central Alabama location.
For both years, the yield reached a plateau at relatively high levels of nitrogen. In some cases, yield decreased as rate increased.
A different situation was observed at the north Alabama location in 2009 and 2010 with yield increasing as nitrogen rate increased.
Resulted in higher yields
Across locations and years, the split application of nitrogen resulted in higher yield than total nitrogen applied at planting. In most cases, a trend for higher yield was observed when 70 percent of the total nitrogen was applied at V6 rather than a side‐dress application of 50 percent of the total nitrogen.
Therefore, the split application of 30 percent of total nitrogen applied pre‐plant and the other 70 percent applied at the V6 growth stage resulted in higher yields, especially when high nitrogen rates were applied.
In contrast, for low nitrogen application rates, such as 50 pounds per acre, the best strategy was to side‐dress most of it. When the 30/70 split application was compared with total nitrogen applied at planting, a higher response to the split application was observed at most locations.
Assisting in the research were Brenda V. Ortiz, assistant professor and Extension specialist, Charles Burmester, Extension agronomist, and Kip Balkcom, research agronomist, USDA‐ARS.
In the sandy Coastal Plain soils of Georgia, nitrogen is very mobile, and if excessive rainfall occurs or excessive amounts of water are applied through the irrigation system, leaching losses of nitrogen can be quite drastic during the growing season, according to University of Georgia Extension soil scientist Glen Harris.
To increase the efficiency of nitrogen recovery during the season, split applications of nitrogen are recommended.
Harris recommends that growers apply 25 to 30 percent of the projected nitrogen needs before or at planting. The remaining nitrogen can be applied side-dress and/or injected through the center-pivot systems.
If all the nitrogen is applied with ground equipment, apply 50 to 75 pounds per acre at or before planting under irrigated conditions and 20 to 50 pounds per acre in dryland environments and the rest when the corn is 12 to 16 inches tall.
If nitrogen is to be injected through the irrigation system, Georgia recommendations call for applying 40 to 60 pounds at or before planting and begin ground or injected applications of 30 to 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre when the corn is 8 to 12 inches tall.
Continue on a bi-weekly basis until the total required nitrogen is applied. Three to five applications of nitrogen will be needed during the growing season.
Applications of nitrogen after pollination are not recommended unless a severe nitrogen deficiency is detected.

Affirming Divine Sovereignty
from R.C. Sproul Aug 12, 2009 Category: ArticlesOur God remains incomprehensible and retains His simplicity. He tells us in His Word that He is not a God of confusion but of order. He is not at war with Himself. He is altogether good, altogether holy, and altogether sovereign. This we must affirm to maintain a biblical concept of divine sovereignty. Yet we must always balance this understanding with a clear understanding that God always exercises His power and authority according to His holy character. Keep Reading
The Great Divorce
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Aug 11, 2009 Category: ArticlesA month or so ago I wrote about GK Chesterton, and in particular his book Orthodoxy, in a little piece titled The Wizard of Ahhs. Like most people before I met Chesterton I met Lewis. I remember whose house I was in (it belonged to a family on staff at the old Ligonier Valley Study Center), which room I was in (the guest bedroom, this family was looking after me for the night) and where I was in that room, (near the door, in a sleeping bag) when I first read Lewis. It was The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I was hooked. I read, of course, the rest of Narnia. I read the Space Trilogy. (That Hideous Strength remains my favorite work of fiction and will one day be covered here.) Then I read Mere Christianity, and promptly decided that Lewis should stick to fiction. I didn't, and don't care for that classic work, though I haven't yet discerned why. Likely it is a severe character flaw in me. Keep Reading

Conforming to God's Holiness
from R.C. Sproul Aug 09, 2009 Category: ArticlesGod is called holy not only because of what He does, but also because of who He is. Originally the term referred more to God's being than His action or behavior. For us to be called saints ("holy ones"), we must have a catharsis. We must be made clean. No unclean thing can stand before the presence of a holy God. That which is unclean is profane in His eyes. For us to be holy to God, our unclean, unholy moral imperfection msut be purged and our sin removed from us. That is why the absolutely necessary condition for redemption is atonement. Without atonement we would remain always and forever unclean and unholy before His penetrating gaze. Keep Reading

God Loves a Cheerful Giver
from James Harvey Aug 07, 2009 Category: ArticlesI love the movie Chariots of Fire. Now over twenty-five years old, the movie remains a compelling testimony of God blessing the faithful use of our gifts and talents. The film chronicles the life of Eric Liddell, a Scottish missionary who was an Olympic-caliber sprinter. At one point in the movie Eric discusses his love of running with his sister Jennie. She is concerned that running is interfering with his call to the mission field. Juxtaposing his own sense of purpose to serve with his love of running, he says to Jennie: "I believe that God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure." When we use the gifts God gives us for the purpose He intends, we do indeed feel His pleasure. Eric Liddell was made to run. Keep Reading
Respecting God's Judgment

God revealed to Samuel that He would judge the house of Eli: Keep Reading
Will Man Rob God?
from R.C. Sproul Aug 05, 2009 Category: ArticlesIn the last book of the Old Testament, God spoke through the prophet Malachi. He raised a provocative question: "Will man rob God?" This is somewhat startling because it suggests something that on the surface would appear to be impossible. How could anybody rob God of anything? Does it mean that we storm the ramparts of heaven and break into the inner sanctum of the divine treasury and help ourselves to things that God alone possesses? Such a thing is manifestly impossible.
