Secretary of State John Kerry to Talk Boston Bombing, Syria in Russia
Focus of trip said to be finding areas of common interest between Russia, U.S.
May 6, 2013 -- Secretary of State John Kerry was on his way to Moscow this evening amid new unrest in Syria and at a time when the United States is investigating the biggest terror attack on American soil since 9/11 -- an attack that has ties to Russia.
Kerry will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Tuesday to discuss pressing geopolitical issues that, beyond Syria and global terrorism, include Iran, North Korea and stability in the Middle East.
However, the larger goal on Kerry's first trip to the Kremlin as secretary of state, according to senior State Department officials, is to highlight areas of common ground between the countries and ways they can work together.
Though the relationship between Russia and the United States has often been described as complex, if not outright difficult, there are areas of cooperation, said one official, who added that Russians are enthusiastic about the visit.
"They have been anticipating this visit for a long time," the official told reporters. "They've been extremely accommodating. This is a trip that they want to go well."
While Kerry will be discussing a wide range of issues, one topic on the agenda will be an increase in counter-terrorism cooperation between the countries, particularly after the Boston Marathon bombing, where the suspects had ties to Russia.

Even though the FBI is the lead agency on the investigation, the State Department has found that the Russian government has been "very cooperative" in facilitating the needs of the FBI in terms of the investigation, a senior State Department official told reporters.
The official acknowledged that, historically, there have been trust issues between the Russian and American governments, but said counter-terrorism remains an issue the two countries have common ground on.
"If we're having a disagreement in one area, that doesn't necessarily mean that we can't cooperate on a different area," said the official. "We've been very clear about that -- that we seek to cooperate when we can and not allow disagreements in other issues to stop that cooperation."
The situation in Syria remains an area that the United States and Russia have well-documented differences on, with the Obama administration staunchly standing by its position that President Assad must step down in any transition, and the Russians maintaining that outside influence on a Syrian resolution needs to be limited.
Finding common interests on issues is particularly important given the Israeli strikes against Syria this past weekend and the recent reports of massacres in the country, a second senior State Department official said.

"Events have moved forward on the ground, and so this is a time to talk to the Russians, to understand that from our side we remain committed," said the official. "If they are as well, then we need to think about how to work operationally to make that happen.
"I don't know if we will get an agreement or not," the official said, "but we certainly think it is worth testing and trying to find some ways forward."
On Wednesday, Kerry will travel to Rome, where he will meet with senior Italian government officials to discuss global issues, including Afghanistan, Syria, and the Middle East.
He'll also meet with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, and with Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni to discuss the ongoing Mideast peace process.

By John Prohira
The earth never tires,
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first,
Nature is incomprehensible at first,
Be not discouraged, keep on, there are divine
Things well envelop'd. . .
- Walt Whitman
The poem above captures some of what was going on between my ears late Saturday afternoon. Once again caught in this incomprehensible net of my own making. Why? Then slowly, ever so slowly my view of the undertaking cleared and began to make more sense. It was the third Saturday in July, year 2001, so this must be the 13th annual Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run. And of course volunteer Betsy Hurley, or Betsy Bear as friends more fondly call her would be in attendance. I met Betsy in 1997 but I doubt that she would remember me. I didn't have the chance to see her this year at pre race festivities nor while on the course. That was my loss. But I did so enjoy reading about her in the Woodstock, Vermont newspaper the day after. Betsy worked the 44-mile aid station and medical check at Camp Ten Bear again this year, setting an example for those of us choosing to travel the distance on foot. How I missed her I just don't know. While assisting and inspiring the Vermont runners Betsy promotes Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports (VASS). Last March this 20-year-old became the first wheelchair athlete to ski in alpine competition at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Alaska. Betsy was born with spina bifida, which disables the nerves controlling the lower portion of her body. At the age of 13 she began alpine skiing at Suicide Six in South Pomfret, Vermont. Then five years ago she sampled the VASS program then based at the Ascutney Mountain Resort in Brownsville. After a few lessons there the young lady blossomed. At summer camp she learned to ride horses and paddle a kayak. Now she saddles up a horse for weekly rides near her home and is a freshman at the Community College of Vermont. She obviously likes being active. "I got more independence and it's given me more strength," she says. "It's been fun but there are days when it's hard but with encouragement you keep trying, you keep going." And this was the gospel Ms. Hurley preached to runners July 21st. Our race director observed that the 100-mile runners and the VASS athletes are very much alike. Both are challenging their limits and enjoying a sport that allows them to reach personnel potentials and provides a sense of belonging and connection to the world around them. Betsy Bear is a woman who can go a long way!
I've shared with you tales of running in Vermont before. Here I go again. This year 259 people began the race atop a piece of the Green Mountains at 4AM, all planning on running and walking a long way. After the allotted time of 30 hours, 174 men and women had finished. 2/3 of the starters completed the task at hand, that's about right for a trail ultramarathon. This is a beautiful course that's either up or down but seemingly never flat. It's rumored that those running climbed well over 14,000 ft up and the same down over the 100-mile distance. Our race began where it ends, as it always has at Smoke Rise Horse Farm under a big star filled sky and to the accompaniment of a tuxedoed pianist playing his instrument on the porch of the farm owner's main house. This year the horses had returned to run with us and that's always an interesting sight to see. Horse and rider are given 24 hours to finish the same course as the runners, but rest times for these beautiful, strong animals are dictated and strictly enforced. Not so for the human competitors, it's assumed that they will know when to rest, eat and quit if need be.
I traveled this year with my wife Lisa and our daughters. I think they enjoyed the trip. They bonded and did touristy things while I ran up and down, in and out of the woods as the day turned from morning towards night and morn again. It was great to have someone pampering me after the fact. One reason I like this course so much is that it was here that I ran my first 100-mile event four years ago. This is a course of contrasts and not only in terms of elevation changes. Many multi-million dollar homes and properties line the course; with lots of horses in their surrounding fields. There are just as many working dairy, beef and sheep farms nestled amongst the rolling hills with all their associated equipment and baled hay overfilling the metal roofed barns. The working and middle class abodes I ran next to somehow reassured me, maybe I could live here one day but then I wondered just how land rich these locals were and how much these two bedroom homes on a couple of acres went for. This is after all an upscale tourist playground. We ran through and over three covered bridges and through many open meadows. I wish I knew the history of the covered bridge. Why the roofs? Maybe because they are made for the most part of wood. The Vermont 100 is called a trail run but much of the course is on dirt road. This is not a technical course and is very, very runable. The runable aspect of the terrain is what proved to be my undoing. Many others shined on because of it.
I have been blessed this year with good health and my long runs have gone well. I began this adventure strong, capable, confident and familiar with the course. My plan was to come home with a buckle as reward for finishing the distance in under 24 hours. I made a rookie mistake, did something I should have known better than do and paid the consequences. I ran in a new and untested model of shoe for me and then tied them up too high and too tight. Not being lapped again by the sun would require a mildly aggressive approach, meaning blasting as fast as possible down all the hills, that's what I did. The uphills were without question for me impossible to run. A fast, forced march would suffice there. I spent a couple of hours with one 20 year old man child marveling at his perseverance, something I'm just not used to seeing in one so young. Other parts of the race were in the company of others approaching 70 years of age. Wow! Talk about contrasts. I digress here. While running down the downs I began to notice some discomfort in the tendon of my left foot, where the leg meets the foot, where flexing occurs when walking or running. OK, no big deal. When running like this discomfort is to be expected and accepted. By the time I had reached 52 miles the foot began to feel stiff and it hurt. I sat down and evaluated the situation, took the shoe and sock off then put both back on real fast. It seems that I had bruised or traumatized the area with the tight shoe on the hard downhills. It had begun to swell and looked pretty ugly. The nurse at the 60-mile mark thought it nothing that bad but asked, "doesn't it hurt?" Well it did, but not all the time. I promised myself that I would ask the physician's assistant working the 68-mile aid station/medical evaluation stop what he thought about it. I promised myself that I would stop if he suggested that I do so, if there was a chance that permanent damage was being done. The good doctor took one look, told me not to take the shoe off and that he knew exactly what was wrong without looking further. He felt my leg and told me that some edema had set in as my body's response to the trauma and that he would not pull me from the race based on those symptoms. That choice was up to me. He assured me that it would hurt and that it would swell up later but told me to go on if I wanted to. And at that moment I wanted nothing more than to do just that.
I had worked hard early in the race to get into Camp Ten Bear for the second time before dark, something I've never done in three previous years. I left the station at 8PM climbing up Solzhenitsyn Hill while it was still light. This is one interesting piece of the course I'd never really seen before, now I know why I huffed and puffed so in years previous. This is a tough and rugged ˝ mile or so up 700 feet mostly on rocky washout gully. I mentioned in my race review last year that this is where the Russian novelist lived for much of his exile before the breakup of the USSR, small world, somehow that knowledge pleased me.
The day overall had been enjoyable. It was hot, particularly on the short unshaded sections of highways we traveled and in the open meadows, the high grasses there seem to retain the heat. I ate and drank copious amounts of fluids, taking electrolytes in gram quantities on the hour. I picked and ate wild raspberries during the day, comparing favorite recipes and ice cream combinations with fellow travelers. But as the 24-hour goal became less and less attainable my mood would oscillate, usually in tandem with my foot distress. It wasn't the tendon that hurt so much as the tightened skin surrounding it. I was beginning to think that now I wanted nothing more in the world than to quit. Whitman had written that the earth never tires, and it seemed that way. But I did. The hills just went silently on and on. It was hard not to grow discouraged for the downhills hurt more than the ups. The ups began to fatigue me; the downs just made me cringe with anticipated pain. At one low point during these wee hours of Sunday morning I experimented with making deals with my Higher Power. You know if only God would take the pain and fatigue away I would do or give something back to Him in return. I know better than to think it works that way. Besides, I don't have anything to trade that God needs or doesn't already have. But I've been told that praying is the act of talking to God and that meditating is listening to Him. So instead I tried a little of that, talking and listening while lying in a meadow watching a meteor show.
Maybe I slept. I don't know how long I lay there somewhat out of it but the shrieks and hoots of owls brought me back. I came back refreshed. What had seemed completely incomprehensible minutes before now seemed obvious. Things had indeed well envelop'd. Obviously I could turn off the pain and discomfort at any aid station by just sitting down and declaring my desire to stop. The kind folks in those stations would still applaud and tell me all was well, wrap me in blankets, give me warm drinks and take me back to the farm. As easy as that. But sometimes it just isn't that easy. It was like Betsy would say in the following day's newspaper article about getting some encouragement and continuing, keeping on trying. If I were to be completely honest with myself I knew that I really wanted to step across that finish line, not be brought back there in a truck. If I was to be completely honest I knew that I had enough time to do it in even if I ambled along through the night at 2 ½ miles per hour. If I were to be completely honest with myself, honest with Mrs. Prohira's boy Johnny, at times not the sharpest crayon in the box, my foot pain would not kill or hobble me. I had put enough time in the bank earlier in the day and was not fighting cutoffs. It was time to move. OK.
And it was more than OK. It was just fine. It was cooler through the night and as I wrote earlier the sky seemed so very big, now bigger than ever and so very full of stars, some of them seeming to flash and fall. It's at times like this that life seems so very big and good and that's some of what I get from this type of effort. Bullfrogs serenaded wherever water lay and horses and cows milled about in the fields, sometimes coming to fences and property's edge to see who was walking through their night. I spoke to them in the silliest of ways, like a child, not caring who should hear. I was finished with taking this race too seriously. Second dawn didn't bring resurrection but did allow me to see and often recognize those passing me on their way back to the farm. I wished them well and good luck in recognizing the magic they might find after race's end. All asked how I fared and wished they could help but knew that there really wasn't anything they could do. What ultrarunners do late in their races they often have to do alone, with encouragement perhaps, with the support of others but alone. Somehow a part of but still alone.
28 hours and ten minutes after my start I sat down at Smoke Rise. I had hoped to get there before my family because I did not want them to see me wobble in or worry over the condition of my leg and foot. But they were there, my eldest daughter Elizabeth documenting the finish with our camera (can't wait to see that photo!). My youngest, Katy next to her, Lisa thankfully inside and out of sight attempting to find out where on the course I might be. And all was well. They were reassured that nothing permanently bad had happened to their husband or father. I realize that it took a while for that to sink in with them. This is still so very foreign and incomprehensible to them. They collected the pieces that was me and we returned to the luxury of our hotel, a warm shower and bed. I went back into the real world with those I loved most after 28-hours spent chasing the sort of spiritual food that the ultramarathon offers. Now four days later I still have a bit of the glow about me that that spiritual meal provides, I wish I could keep it. Maybe some will stay with me. I hope so. I think that is part of the reason I write about it. This is an attempt to keep it close.
This October I would be honored if I were allowed to introduce you to Betsy Hurley at the VASS 50 miler. I'll take that opportunity to reintroduce myself to her. When trying to decide on names during Lisa's first pregnancy we settled on Elizabeth should that child be a girl. One reason was because of the large number of potential nicknames we could use, Betsy being just one. Well Elizabeth has always been Elizabeth, not Betsy, Beth or Libby to us. Maybe that's another connection I feel to this young lady from Vermont. She's Betsy and that makes me smile. I told my wife on our trip home that I would have to think long and hard about the redeeming aspects of this year's 100 miles in Vermont. Just what I would share about the journey I didn't know then. It was the article about Betsy's accomplishments and strengths that brought my weekend in the woods together showing me the substance and allowing me to see the divine things that I believe Walt Whitman wrote of.
With sentimental regards, a slightly sore leg and a couple of closing quotations (my favorite is from Banjo).
"Pain is a given - suffering is optional". - Unknown
"The reasoned argument is but a surface exhibition. Instinct leads, intelligence does but follow." - William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience
"Ride boldly and never fear the spills." - A.B. "Banjo" Paterson
"With encouragement you keep trying, you keep going." - Betsy (Bear) Hurley

Neighborhood Justice Clinic
Students in the Neighborhood Justice Clinic represent individuals and grassroots organizations in both litigation and non-litigation matters related to workers' rights and other issues affecting low-income communities in Westchester County. Clinic students represent temporarily jobless low-wage workers whose applications for unemployment benefits have been denied. Students are responsible for all aspects of their clients' cases, including interviewing clients and witnesses, developing a case theory, investigating facts and analyzing the law, and representing clients at adversarial hearings before the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board Hearing Office in White Plains.
In addition to representing individual clients at hearings, students provide legal support to organizations that are advocating for low-income communities in Westchester County. These projects involve less-traditional forms of lawyering, such as engaging in legislative and policy advocacy and analysis, creating self-help materials, developing community education trainings and materials, and providing other types of legal work in support of organizations serving the community.
The weekly seminar portion of the clinic is a practice-oriented examination of advocacy on behalf of low-income individuals and communities. Seminar topics include: fundamental lawyering skills (such as client interviewing and counseling, case planning and case theory, fact investigation, witness interviewing and preparation, direct and cross examination, and cross-cultural lawyering), ethics and professional responsibility, substantive and procedural law relevant to the clinic's docket, and perspectives on social justice lawyering. The seminar includes in-class exercises and full-scale simulations or moots of key lawyering tasks, as well as planning and reflection related to students' work on their cases and projects.
Permission of the professor, based upon application and interview, is required. There are no prerequisites, but prior or simultaneous enrollment in Professional Responsibility, Evidence, or Trial Advocacy would be helpful. The clinic is open to students in their second, third, or fourth year of law school.

Watering the Tulips
July 16, 2014
"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth" – Psalms 115:1
Man is not to be glorified. That thought is worth considering for a few moments. Notice, the psalmist here clearly says, "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory". Let that sink in for just a moment. The Creator alone is to be ascribed glory…not creatures. Never should a pastor seek glory for himself. Never should a singer seek glory for himself. Never should a teacher, a piano player, a deacon, or even a lay member seek glory for themselves. Ephesians 3:21 says, "…to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen".
Anytime we hear a person seek to brag spiritually, we should exercise caution. Whether a missionary is bragging about the number of souls saved under his ministry or a treasurer is bragging about the offering, there is a cause for concern. Sometimes this may seem like semantics and nothing more – and it may be. But, we should always make sure that God is ascribed the glory and not we, ourselves. If a missionary has been blessed to see many souls saved under his ministry, then praise God for effectually working through the Gospel. If the offering of the church members has been bountiful, then praise God for putting it in their heart.
The natural tendency of men is to measure ourselves. And even the Scripture says, "Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble" (2 Peter 1:10). But, testing yourself to make sure you are serving God can quickly develop into pride if we are not careful. Measuring yourself against the next brother or sister will quickly do the same. Pride is, in a sense, giving glory to yourself rather than God. Let us all realize that this is a natural tendency that we easily fall into.
I have often heard a new convert praised by friends and family. Something such as, "I am so proud of you" frequently follows a profession of faith or baptism. But why? Why would a profession of faith give us any reason to be "proud" of a person? Happy for them – of course! A thousand times yes!! But proud of them? Ephesians 2:8 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God". This verse gives God the recognition for our faith. Jesus is said to be the "author" of our faith in Hebrews 12:2. We ought to be thankful to God for the salvation of any person. And, to be consistent, this should be audibly expressed in such a way. We frequently find the apostle Paul giving God thanks for the salvation of those he ministered to (Romans 1:8; 1 Corinthians 1:4; Philippians 1:3; Colossians 1:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:13). Oh, let this ever be our response to the salvation of any soul!
Children of God, it is important how we say things. It does matter. We must always be careful that we are expressing our thoughts and thankfulness in such a way as gives God the glory. Let us commit to the same attitude as the Psalmist by saying, "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth".

Fergie Helps Husband's Flooded Hometown BIG TIME!
THE NUMBERS ARE IN!!! The ginourmous Black Eyed Peas show to benefit Minot, ND brought in 1.3 MILLION DOLLARS!!! THANK YOU Black Eyed Peas!!!
Minot is about an hour and a half away from my family farm. It's been difficult to watch from afar as many of my friends were forced from their homes. A huge kuddos to Josh Duhamel - ND has always loved your support, but this is nothing short of amazing! ~Erin
When actor Josh Duhamel's hometown of Minot, N.D. flooded back in June, the hunky 'Transformers' star called upon a music group that is very close to his heart — his wife Fergie's dance-pop group the Black Eyed Peas. The 'I Got a Feeling' hitmakers performed in Minot in support of the Minot Rising campaign, and their benefit concert (in combination with other resources like merchandise sales) raised $1.3 million for the town.
The BEP concert was an overwhelming success, according to Valleynewslive.com. The Minot Area Recovery Fund received over more than a million bucks thanks to the Black Eyed Peas concert and accompanying events, which brought in more than 16,000 attendees on Sunday, Sept. 4.
Duhamel, who organized the event and is the honorary chairman of the Minot Area Recovery Fund, tweeted his thanks to the BEP's. "A HUGE thank you to @iamwill, @TabBep, @apl_de & #Fergie for their incredible act of kindness for doing #MinotRising. North Dakota loves you," Duhamel wrote on Twitter.
will.i.am responded to Duhamel's kind words, saying that they were honored to be a part of Minot Rising. "@joshduhamel i.am proud to support #MinotRising…this is what its all about…'Americans helping americans' one neighborhood United States," the BEP frontman tweeted, continuing, "Thank you for you passion, determination, and vision to do good, and ability to bring people together for a good cause."
More than 11,000 people were forced out of their homes in late June 2011 in Minot, N.D. due to extreme flooding. The Missouri River overflowed, causing massive destruction and some of the worst flooding conditions the area has seen in decades. Hopefully, with the funds received from Minot Rising, the inhabitants there will be able to recover from this devastation.

SAN LEANDRO — 21st Amendment Brewery announced Tuesday that it will open one of the Bay Area's largest breweries at the former Kellogg's cereal plant, along with a tasting room, restaurant and event space.
The company expects to have the facility running in about nine months, with work starting on the restaurant and event space in 2015, according to a news release.
21st Amendment plans to hire 20 workers the first year and about 100 over the next five years.
"With 21st Amendment and Cleophus Quealy Beer Company opening this year, joining the award-winning Drake's Brewing, San Leandro is quickly becoming a top destination for fans of high-end beer," said Jeff Kay, city business development manager, in a statement.
The 95,000-square-foot brewery will have an initial brewing capacity of 100,000 barrels a year, with the ability to expand to more than 250,000 barrels.
21st Amendment will install a 100-barrel brew house, with a production line that can fill 500 cans a minute.
The brewery, with offices in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood and a pub in San Francisco, brews most of its beer in Minnesota but has outgrown that facility, founder and brewmaster Shaun O'Sullivan said last year.
Kellogg's closed its San Leandro production plant at 2010 Williams St. in 1995, laying off 325 workers.

The Secret Weapon
Stop whatever you're doing right now and watch this video - offered in HD for Windows Media or Quicktime. That's Level 5's White Knight Story, and I must stress for readers that Level 5 is in no way fucking around. That's how you sell us a Goddamn Playstation 3. We are almost impervious to many of the brands that define Sony's hardware: for us, Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo emit no will crushing pheromones. Compare that to the White Knight clip, which is a fairly comprehensive tour of my private desires.
It's nice to finally get our eyes on materials that imply Sony is actually, for really reals releasing a console in a couple months. I understand that it can make my pictures look goods and let me surfs on The Web, didn't really ask for that, but alright. But the continued air of mystery regarding their supernatural free online service should really disturb people at this point, not that it will: if you follow the pastime then you can see that this conflict has already passed through the rational membrane and now occupies the same troubled zone as Religion and Professional Sport. True dialogue is now impossible. Faith in one's "team" is at the rudder. Heretics are everywhere, tainting each thread.
It was a rapturous couple of hours last week when the price reductions on the low-end PS3 were announced - would Japan be the epicenter of this new savings wave, and would this wave (after improving the lot of fish and crustaceans) wash up from sea to shining sea, as it were? Of course not, no. That would have been brilliant. Oh, two blessed hours! You were as some Elysian fifth season.
The entry-level PS3 is sometimes referred to as the 'tard pack, a snarling and brutal snip of hipster guttermouth. But it's not really that 'tarded: it has less hard drive space (i.e., the same paltry pile of bits the "high end" 360 relies upon), no wireless (360 ahem!), and no memory card readers (you should see a pattern emerging). It's still a PS3. The Core pack is roughly seven million times worse, because it's not just a 360 without the last generation's basic functionality. It's also the odd market gesture that means developers can never rely on the Hard Drive as a system component. I would imagine this dark reality grips the platform's masters in Redmond with a kind of swamp fever.
The "gimped" PS3 is practically designed to go head to head with the Xbox 360, it demands comparisons. Let's be clear, though: even when indulging in the price reduction fantasy, the lower cost model isn't an authentic choice. In a launch already squeezed for product, trying to find this white stag at retail is (I suppose) one way to go insane. Or get trampled by a Stepdad desperate for a way to connect with this strange new son. Or go insane whilst being trampled, etc.
(CW)TB out.

They're a militant Shiite Muslim organization defined by the U.S. government as a terrorist group, but don't tell that to CNN senior editor of Middle Eastern affairs, Octavia Nasr.
In a July 4 post on her Twitter account, Nasr openly admitted to mourning the loss of Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah:
Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah.. One of Hezbollah's giants I respect a lot.. #Lebanon
According to a July 2 Associated Press story, Fadlallah is "considered by many to be the unofficial spiritual leader of Hezbollah," even though both he and Hezbollah deny that claim. (h/t Weasel Zippers)
The AP also reports Fadlallah is known for "his staunch anti-American stance" and is blacklisted as a terrorist by the U.S. government.
But where else but CNN would you see a member of its editorial staff opening mourn the passing of a "terrorist?"

Life was great. I had just been promoted from being everyone's assistant to just one person's assistant, my best friend SHaron. Sharon and I known each other for a long time and we did almost everything to get from eating paste to losing
our cherries. Well, Sharon had met this great guy named Steven and gotten married and went on a month long cruise for her honeymoon& I was going to dog sit her German Shepherd Cock for her. well, Cock and I had always gotten along for day
one. I mean if Sharon hadn't gotten him I would have. It was as if we connected some how and we understood each other.
But since sharon left he watched me strangely as if he was deciding if I was worthy enough to stay with him in his house.
Sharon and Steven had been gone for about a week when sharon called to check up on Cock.
"how's things going" asked sharon.
"fine" i said.
"having fun"
"it's ok" I said wondering how can keeping a dog be fun.
she laughed
"Cock's good to have in the crucile times. He got me through some very hectic times" sharon said.
"Fine, whatever. See you whe I See you"
and we ended the call.
I had been horny as a starving honey bee all day but I didn't want to bring too many people around Cock.
Not knowing how he would react so I waited until he was sleep and I undressed placing one big beach towel on the couch and another one on the floor.
I then sat on the couch in a slouching position and begin to watch so porn movies that Sharon had. The first one I pop in shocked the hell out of me.
It was a woman and a dog doing the unthinkable.There I was fingering my self and watching this woman get f****d by a dog of all things. Cock must have
smelled my juices because he was there licking me faster than you can say puppy chow. As cock lapped at my pussy lips I became very excited. His tongue
did things no man tongue could ever do and went places no man could ever go. I climaxed about 2-3 more times and fell asleep.
Later I woke up and something was touching my snack.It was Cock's Cock and he was trying to enter me. I tried to push him off but couldn't. The harder I pushed the more
determined he was the f---k me.
"Stop Cock." I cried.
but he paid no mind and forced himself into my pussy lips. He then stopped as to let my body adjust to his and then his seemed to grow as he pumped his doggie cock in and our
of my body. At each thrust his prick would enter my pussy even more than before. His knot got closer and closer and he rammed harder and harder as if trying to push it in.
It entered my pussy but he pulled it back out and rammed it back in. I exploded. Cock then got a rythmn started and started pulling out less and less of his cock until he rammed
into me and stood still his belly on mine and came as he licked my neck and my face. THe movie played on, Cock played on. I exploded again and then I felt something hot squirt into
me. Cock has had an orgasm. He started to pull out but couldn't. so he turned with his butt in my face and tried to leave pulling me with him.
I yelled "Cock stop" We stayed like this for about 20 minutes. When he began to strink he slipped out cleaned his self and me causing me to have more organisms.
Now when were home alone I never wear underwear and we have a wonderful time. I'm trying to talk sharon and steven into taking a longer honeymoon.
Maybe I'll get a puppy/dog of my own and if not i could always borrow Cock and his cock.

Lincoln Elks, Illinois Elks and ALMH bring free clinic to children
Send a link to a friend Share
[April 28, 2014]
After the clinic's long absence from the
area and two years of working to bring the service back to Logan
County, the Elks were thrilled to welcome 10 families to the Elks
Orthopedic Assessment Clinic at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital on
April 8. Lincoln Elks Lodge 914, the Illinois Elks Children's Care
Corp. and ALMH worked collaboratively to offer the opportunity for
local children to be seen by David Olysav, M.D.
"It was an incredible experience," one person commented. "I won't
soon forget the caring that ALMH, Dr. Olysav and the Elks all showed
by working together to bring this service to the children of our
Brittney Peterson and David Peterson of Lincoln brought their
daughter, Erin, to the clinic. Erin suffers from reduced range of
motion in her legs, which often leaves her in pain.
"Dr. Olysav examined her, answered all of our questions and gave
use a great plan of care. He and his staff were warm, friendly and
informative," the Petersons said. "We left an otherwise anxious
appointment feeling relieved and with the hope that following his
instructions will mean real improvements for Erin. We thank the Elks
Children's Care Corp., ALMH and Dr. Olysav for the opportunity to
attend the orthopedic clinic."
The Elks organization has been working with physically challenged
children since 1928. There are 17 clinic locations throughout
Illinois. The Elks provide financial assistance to the best of their
ability for children needing further treatment or specialty
equipment when the family lacks sufficient resources to do so. In
the past, the Elks have purchased therapy services, corrective
shoes, braces, orthotics, wheelchairs and augmentative communication
devices to help children overcome a variety of physical challenges.

No medical referral is necessary for the clinics; however,
physicians are welcome to refer patients to the clinic for a
specific reason or second opinion. School nurses are also welcome to
refer children and families to the clinics.
To make an appointment for the next clinic, on July 1, call the
Illinois Elks Children's Care office at 1-800-272-0074 anytime
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. There are no
charges for any services performed at the clinic. Additional clinics
are scheduled for Oct. 7 and Jan. 13, 2015.

SHERRODSVILLE Village residents had many questions Wednesday night at a town meeting concerning the opening of a new water treatment plant to process fracking water.
SHERRODSVILLE Village residents had many questions Wednesday night at a town meeting concerning the opening of a new water treatment plant to process fracking water.
The plant will be on state Route 39, inside the village at 20 S. Church Street.
Chris Foreman, director of water treatment, and Ryan T. Mastowski, site manager for Rettew Flowback of Mechanicsburg, Pa., addressed concerns regarding the plant.
The owners of the property and treatment plant, Iron Eagle Enterprises, were invited but did not attend due to a family emergency.
The plant is prepared to handle 4,000 barrels of fracking water a day at first and will grow to an average of 12,000-16,000 barrels each day. The water treatment plant will recycle fracking water trucked into the plant, and the cleaned, processed water will be removed by trucks each day. Each truck will contain 100 barrels of water.
Foreman said he expects to hire six to eight people at first and increase that to about 20 people in a short period of time. Those numbers do not include the truck drivers who will bring the water to and from the plant.
Regarding hiring, Foreman said he plans to have a job fair in the county and hire as many local people as he can.
All plant operations will be inside buildings already on the property. Foreman said electrical upgrades have been done and leaking skylights are being replaced and sealed.
"There will be no discharge from this site. Every drop of water that comes in will go back out to the gas company that sent it in," stated Foreman.
The water is kept segregated by each client, and they get their own water back.
The plant only will take water-based materials and will not be treating mud, sand or other materials from gas well operations, according to Foreman.
"The purpose of the plant is to minimize the water used in the fracking process. By recycling and cleaning the water at the treatment plant, the same water can be used over and over again," Foreman said.
The biggest adjustment for village residents will be the amount of truck traffic. Foreman said the trucks run 24 hours a day, seven days a week but the plant runs 12 hours a day. There will be six to eight trucks at a time on site and it takes about 20 minutes to unload each truck.

The Opel Admiral A and the Chevrolet Chevelle aren't close relatives, but our Czech friend and Tatra reviewer BobAsh drives one that wouldn't look (or sound) out of place doing gnarly burnouts in the Dairy Queen parking lot.
It looks quite American, though the hints of Ford Falcon-ness in its lines indicate that Opel designers didn't limit themselves to purely GM influences. Admiral buyers could get a 283-cubic-inch Chevrolet small-block V8 and Powerglide right from the factory, and that's what's important. Bob has done a full writeup (in Czech) for Autíčkář, and here's the English summary:
It's a 1966 Opel Admiral, powered by 283 Chevy (non numbers matching, but factory engine for that model), with 200R4 (hot rodded a little) behind it. Cool little hot rod that I can actually park downtown where I live now, wonderfully loud with the glasspacks and quite fast. Traded it for the 1968 Galaxie I had, with a guy from Hungary (so I now drive around a German hot rod with American engine on Hungarian plates in Czech Republic... I guess I need to add something French or British.

Eric Werner '13
Working as a Dramaturgy/Literary Management Intern at Actors Theatre of Louisville
As a Dramaturgy/Literary Management Intern at Actors Theatre of Louisville, my favorite part about my job is that I never know what I'm going to be doing on any given day. I could be reading submissions to the National Ten Minute Play Festival, or researching 18th century English etiquette for a production of Tom Jones. I could be in a rehearsal room with five actors struggling to create a devised piece about a group of survivors after a post-apocalyptic atomic meltdown, or talking about different structures with a writer developing a new script. Sometimes all in the same day!
Now I know you're asking, "How on earth did an English major land a spot working in a theatre?" The response: I couldn't imagine doing my job coming from any other background. Over the course of four years of reading, talking about, and writing on some of the greatest works of literature, I honed the skills I now use everyday.
Through many rounds of drafting essays, I learned that writing is a process, and I learned to navigate that process. Part of what being a dramaturg means is being a Writing Advisor for a playwright as a script develops. I know firsthand that the masterpiece isn't going to come out on the first draft, and can act as a backboard for the playwright to work off of. In a more tangible way, I have to be able to read, understand, summarize, and evaluate a tremendous amount of scripts. Actors Theatre receives over 700 submissions of ten-minute plays alone, which my fellow intern and I get to log, read, and evaluate. Having five postage boxes filled with scripts really puts the hundreds of pages of Ulysses into perspective.
When we decide which plays to produce in a season, the dramaturg works with the director and producing team to provide a context for the play. This means a lot of research. This means boards filled with images of things that may exist in that world. This means actor packets that explain references and provide historical context for the people that have to perform the play. Good thing I've spent many a wee-hour of the morning in the 24-hour Computer Lab trying to find the perfect scholarly, peer-reviewed article for a paper due a few hours later.
Above all, this job requires that I come to a new script with genuine curiosity, an attitude that was instilled and encouraged at Wittenberg. As I sip my office coffee from my red English Major Mug each morning, I am reminded of the people, the institution, and the degree that got me here, and I am deeply grateful.
Jordan Hildebrandt '12
Hildebrandt graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor's degree in Geology and Computer Science. Jordan is the first person to complete "The List." The List is a collection of books that the professors in the English Department select as works they feel every student should read. While he was a student, The List consisted of 75 books ranging from ancient Roman literature to contemporary works (it is currently 61 books, as three professors have since retired or left Wittenberg). Having completed The List, Jordan was given the opportunity to add a book of his own and he chose "Flatland" by Edwin A. Abbott. After his completion of The List, we asked him a few questions about his experience in completing this English Department challenge.
On Completing "The List"
Q: How did it feel to complete The List?
A: Satisfying. Everyone who has baked muffins and only had enough batter for 11 knows how aggravating it is to have boxes left unchecked.
Q: Was the process of completing it difficult?
A: Not particularly. ~70 books in two years ~> 3 books a month. Some books were tremendously engaging, some were a slog. The hardest part was scheduling meetings to discuss them...
Q: What was your motivation for completing The List?
A: I've always been an avid reader, and this list introduced me to many quality titles I would not have discovered on my own. It's commonly discussed how every person has a unique lens with which they see the world - and individual books are no different. I match my wits and worldview with the novel's perspective in a quest to understand the surrounding world.
Q: Anything you would have done differently while progressing through The List?
A: I read everything cold, i.e. with no background on the author/text besides what I already "knew." It was beneficial in that I sometimes had different insights into the work. Other times, it made it a less useful read than it could have been. First semester of graduate school, I took the class 'Poetry of Milton' from a leading authority on John Milton, which really made Paradise Lost much clearer.
Q: Why did you choose Flatland as a book you think everyone should read?
A: Flatland is a sharp, 82-page social satire that, through the mathematical medium of multiple dimensions, advocates "higher-dimensional" thinking. It's a humorous book that covers many of the themes I think folks should contemplate. (Note: Flatland was introduced to me by Dr. Zaleha, Associate Professor, Wittenberg Geology)

"And in these many varying paths and experiences, Wittenberg has taught me—and is still teaching me—what it means to be a student of the 'liberal arts.'

We must learn how to be taught, so that when it is our time to 'specialize,' we do so with an awareness of the wholeness of community, and perhaps more importantly, the wholeness within ourselves."

A man died after drinking a toxic herbicide sold to him as a weight-loss aid, a court heard on Tuesday.
Sean Cleathero, 28, was advised to dissolve a sachet of the drug Dinitrophenol (DNP) in water before he drank the concoction at a gym in Buckinghamshire.
Jamie Chivers, 44, Jason King, 41, and Peter Purkins, 47, are on trial at the Old Bailey over the 28-year-old's manslaughter on 16 October 2012. They deny the charge.
The court heard they were involved in two businesses in High Wycombe – Precision Laboratories, where the drug was produced, and Apollo Fitness, where Cleathero collected it on the day of his death.
The victim ordered the drug in powder form from Purkins because he said tablets he had before were not working, the court heard.
Chivers then dropped it off at the gym and King handed it over from behind the counter, advising him to dissolve it in a beaker of water before drinking, the prosecution said.
The jury was shown CCTV footage from the gym showing the victim drinking the bright yellow liquid and then start to sweat.
Prosecutor John Price QC said: "The minute he drank the contents of that glass he was a dead man because there is no antidote for what he consumed."
"He could not stop sweating even long after he had finished his workout and he was starting to struggle to breathe."
An ambulance was called and Cleathero was taken to Wycombe hospital, where he died in intensive care eight hours after he took the poison.
A postmortem examination showed the cause of death was poisoning by DNP. His temperature had soared to 42C, the court heard.
Price told jurors: "The prosecution case is that this substance was supplied to him for his personal consumption as an aid to his weight loss."
He said the gym had "all the appearance of being a professional, well run and legitimate operation" but that was just "a veneer".
Price told jurors that DNP was not a controlled drug and had a legitimate use as an insecticide or herbicide.
But he added that it was not fit for human consumption and to swallow it was to take a poison.
"Despite that, it nevertheless has a long history of misuse by humans as what is called a fat burner, as the name implies those who take it do so to assist in an attempt to lose weight," he said.
Price said Purkins, King and Chivers were involved in the production and supply of DNP to the public for personal consumption and they would have known "the truth of it".
Nine years before Cleathero died, the Food Standards Agency had advised that DNP was "extremely dangerous to human health" following an incident in Finland, the jury was told.
Chivers, from High Wycombe; Purkins, from Hazlemere, and King, from Great Missenden along with Laura Hague, 23, of Chalfont St Peter, deny charges of producing and supplying anabolic steroids.
King and Hague also deny perverting the course of justice by removing incriminating evidence after Cleathero's death.
The court was told Chivers had already admitted perverting the course of justice after he "forgot" to delete CCTV footage showing him deleting incriminating footage from earlier in the week. Purkins is not accused over the alleged coverup.
The trial continues.

Maine sheriff spared from serious injury by body armor after getting shot on gun range
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A Maine sheriff says his body armor protected him when he was stuck in the back by a bullet from a fellow officer's gun at a firing range.
Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said he's nursing a welt and bruises after being shot Thursday at a shooting range where deputies were conducting firearm qualifications.
Liberty, who is a retired Army master sergeant, served in Iraq and told the Kennebec Journal that "I made it out of Fallujah and I get shot in Gardiner."
The officer who shot Liberty remained on duty.
The sheriff said there were five certified instructors at the range when the accident occurred. He said an internal investigation should be completed next week.

Carol Jeanne Lee, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend to everyone was surrounded by family when she left on July 9, 2013 to return to her heavenly home.
She was born September 19, 1932 to Joseph Hazen and Lois Irvin in Kirtland, NM. She was joined by two sisters, Darlen and Betty Lois.
Carol attended elementary school in Kirtland, after which the family moved to a ranch located between Farmington and Bloomfield. She attended Farmington High School, graduating in 1950. During her junior year she started paying attention to one of the high school football running backs by the name of Lynn Lee.
Little did she realize that this infatuation would continue for the next 65 years. She loved cheerleading with her younger sister Darlene. Carol excelled in academics.
She was the New Mexico bookkeeping champion, and became Salutatorian of her graduating class.
Soon after graduation Carol and Lynn, along with her mother and his father, brother, and sister-in-law traveled from Farmington, NM to Mesa, AZ, where they were sealed in the Mesa Temple on June 29, 1950.
Lynn was offered a scholarship to play football and basketball at Ft. Lewis College which, at the time was located in Hesperus, CO — just a few hours north of Farmington. Carol worked as secretary in the Office of Veterans Affairs.
Their first child was born in Farmington on July 9, 1951. It seemed only natural to name her Carol Lynn, after both her parents. The three of them returned to Ft. Lewis, where Lynn continued his education.
Monty was born the following summer and the family of four headed for Flagstaff, AZ where Lynn attended Northern Arizona University. After completion of his bachelor's program, the family moved to Dolores, CO, where Lynn began his teaching/coaching career. In addition, Lynn and Carol were enticed to teach dancing and drama.
To supplement the family income Carol worked as a secretary at Kincade and Redd Chevrolet. At the same time, she served as Young Women's President in the Cortez Ward of her church. Their third child, Larry, was born in Cortez on February 17, 1956.
Lynn continued attending summer school at NAU, working toward an advanced degree. After four years in Dolores, the family moved to LaSal, UT where Lynn had been appointed principal of the elementary school for a year, before settling permanently in Blanding.
Laura joined the family on March 16, 1960. The family was blessed with a fifth, and final child, David, on November 21, 1968.
Carol spent the next 45 years caring for her children and filling many church positions, including primary teacher, Young Women's President, Relief Society President, choir director, marriage and family relations teacher, stake missionary, and temple ordinance worker.
A highlight of Carol's life was following her children in their sports. Whether it was football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball, track, you would find Carol cheering and encouraging her children and other team members. They were all "her kids." Lynn was always by her side — trying to calm her down.
Carol loved to sew and made most of the girl's clothes until the styles began to change. She went to work at First Security Bank (now Wells Fargo) where she continued to work until 1983 when she retired to ensure that she would not miss any of David's ball games. After David graduated, her love for sports continued as she began watching grandchildren and later great grandchildren in their chosen sports.
Lynn and Carol also offered their home to several young children and teens, including four nephews; Dennis and Mike Lee, and Troy and Chad Lynn. Other youth who shared the Lee home were Darlene Valentine, Dino Oshley, Lucille Lameman, Jack Little, and Steve Larson.
Another of Carol's passions was music. She taught piano lessons for a period of time. Carol spent hours on the piano and sang in many musicals. She was ultimately successful in converting Lynn to the joy of music. Carol served on various occasions as choir director in her church. A highlight was being asked to sing in the choir during the dedication of the Monticello, Utah Temple.
Carol was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2005. Over the next eight years, she remained happy and cheerful, fooling many who would meet her on the street or at the ballgames. Her family, church members, friends, and especially her "knight in shining armor" who seldom left her side, ensured that she was loved, protected, and care for in every way.
Carol is survived by her husband of 63 years Lynn, Lee, of Blanding; children Carol Lynn (Joseph) Barton of Monticello; Monty (Lana) Lee of Blanding; Larry (Susan) Lee of Blanding; Laura (Bobby) Robbins of Phoenix, AZ; and David (Karleah) Lee, of Henderson, NV; sisters Darlene (Curg) Johnson, of Draper, UT and Betty Lois (Nolland) Tingey of Farmington, UT; as well as 26 grandchildren, and 67 great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews.
Card of thanks
The family of Carol Lee would like to thank the following.
A special thanks to Dr. Val Jones for his years of heartfelt attention and the entire staff at Blue Mountain Hospital. All the employees at Four Corners Regional Care Center, especially Troy Palmer, Director of Nursing.
Blanding First Ward for their generous luncheon provided and enjoyed by many family members that had traveled long distances to be in Blanding for the services.
Last, much thanks to Danny Palmer and San Juan Mortuary for their empathetic concern during this difficult time for us all.

Optimizing LTE Network Performance with SON and Extended SON
By Beecher Tuttle
The widespread use of smartphones, tablet computers and other Web-enabled mobile devices has caused wireless data services to explode. While this is good news for application developers and mobile device manufacturers, it presents several challenges for service providers whose networks see more bandwidth-hungry traffic each day.
This concern is compounded by the fact that the increase in traffic is surpassing the growth rate for wireless revenue. To survive, service providers need to decrease their cost per bit while simultaneously optimizing their LTE network to handle more traffic....

Handmade Luxury Chocolate Giveaway
I love intense, smooth, bold, rich and luxurious chocolates and the new Revel Chocolates from Lake Champlain Chocolates celebrate flavor with creative pairings.
Each handmade piece reveals a dreamy-smooth ganache paired with inspired ingredients — WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey, Vermont crème fraîche, George Howell Espresso, chipotle and cinnamon, bergamot black tea kissed with Vermont honey, and an organic single-origin dark chocolate from Peru. All in a handsome, two-tiered gift box featuring three of each distinctive flavor.
One lucky winner will win an 18-piece Assorted Revel Chocolates (three of each flavor):
• Bergamot & Honey: dark chocolate ganache infused with organic loose-leaf Earl Grey tea and pure Vermont honey. Every bite releases an enticing bouquet of fragrant bergamot, honey, and cocoa.
• Apurimac 70% Dark: a divine blend of organic Peruvian dark chocolate and fresh Vermont heavy cream. The ultimate single-origin chocolate, with notes of juicy red fruit and a seductive hint of earthiness.
• Vermont Crème Fraîche: a French-style cultured cream folded into milk chocolate ganache. Fresh milk from Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery lends this a distinctive tartness and incredibly smooth texture.
• WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey: the acclaimed 10-year 100% rye whiskey meets our famous dark chocolate ganache. Savor delicious notes of deep cocoa, caramel, toasted rye, bourbon, and vanilla.
• George Howell Espresso: dark chocolate ganache infused with a North Italian Style Espresso from coffee master George Howell. An elegant pairing offering bold notes of mocha, roasted almonds, and cocoa.
• Chipotle Cinnamon: a warming, earthy kick of chipotle and cinnamon in our special blend of milk and dark chocolate ganache. Opens up with sweet and smoky, followed by a burst of spice at the finish.
Lake Champlain Chocolates are preservative-free and Kosher-certified. Their chocolate contains no additives or shelf extenders. As chocolate has over 500 flavor components, anything extra is bound to compromise the flavor.
"At Lake Champlain Chocolates, our goal is to create something extraordinary. Vermont ingredients, such as maple syrup, honey, cream and butter, have always played a role in our chocolates, as we combine the best traditions of chocolate making with new flavors and techniques. Crafted in small batches, the ingredients in our chocolates have always been fresh and natural and the results will astound you. Perhaps that's why The New York Times reveres it as some of the best chocolate in the country."
Some of my favorite chocolate recipes:
Chocolate Molasses Chocolate Chip Cake with Baileys Irish Cream Glaze – Both cocoa powder and chocolate chips give this easy cake a rich depth of flavor, complemented by molasses, a splash of coffee, and diced Medjools dates baked into the batter, add layers of richness and flavors. Acreamy and smooth Baileys Irish Cream Glaze that's good enough to drink really is the icing on this cake
Nanaimo Bars (No-Bake) – An ode to Canada's national dessert, these decadent three-layered bars start with an almond flour-coconut-cocoa powder-buttery crust, with a rich creamy custard-butttercream filling, topped with a slick of buttery chocolate ganache. They look complicated but within about a half hour, they're ready to go and are extremely rich and satisfying and would be perfect on a holiday dessert platter
Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache – This is my go-to chocolate cake recipe because the cake turns out moist, rich, and has great depth of flavor. The batter comes together in just minutes with a whisk and is just as fast as using a boxed cake mix, with much more scrumptious results along with the smooth, silky and creamy chocolate ganache
No-Bake Vanilla Cake Batter Chocolate Truffles – One of the most popular recipes on my site, courtesy of Pinterest. These little truffles are so easy and fast to make, perfect for holiday parties and events. Plus, who can say no to vanilla cake batter that's dipped in a melted chocolate
Dark Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies Stuffed with Chocolate Covered Strawberries – Any dried fruit may be used but there's something about the combination of chocolate and chocolate-covered strawberries that is especially good. Strawberries and chocolate shouldn't only be for Valentine's Day
Fudgy Nutella Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting – Nothing cakey at all about these fudgy, dense, rich brownies. The recipe is as easy as using a boxed mix with far superior taste and the batter comes together in less than five minutes with a whisk. Nutella swirls and cream cheese frosting optional, but recommended
Molasses Triple Chocolate Cookies – Chocolate is used three ways for maximum gooeyness in these new seasonal favorite cookies. Soft, moist, tender, no mixer is required, and if you've never paired chocolate together with molasses, it's a great combo
Chocolate Saltine Toffee, i.e. Christmas Crack – A popular holiday candy recipe that many of us have had and it goes by many different names, but one thing is for sure is that it's highly addictive, hence the name
Mounds Bar Chocolate Coconut Cake Mix Cookies – Chocolate and coconut is a winning combination and I baked both chocolate chips and Mounds Bar candy bars into these easy, goofproof chocolate cake mix cookies that turn out soft and moist every time
Chocolate Banana and Biscoff Graham Bars – Calling all Biscoff spread and Cookie Butter spread lovers. If you actually want to use the spread in a recipe rather than just eating it straight from the jar with a spoon, these bars are fast to make and the combination of chocolate, bananas, and cookie butter is a win. Peanut butter may be substituted for cookie butter
Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten free) – Chocolate and peanut butter is perhaps the best chocolate pairing of all time and these cookies use chocolate two ways, cocoa powder and chocolate chips, along with a hefty does of peanut butter
Frozen Chocolate Pudding and Wafer Cake (No-Bake, 3 ingredients) – Chocolate pudding and chocolate wafers are layered for a frozen and no-bake fun icebox cake, with wafers that stay crisp. Many ice box cakes made from graham crackers have a tendency to turn mushy and disintegrate but not this one
Caramel and Chocolate Gooey Bars (GF with Vegan adaptation) – The combination of caramels and chocolate is a favorite and the two melt together in these sweet, easy, and oh-so-gooey bars
Using Rafflecopter, enter to win an 18-count box of luxury chocolates, making sure to leave a blog comment in response to the first question.
Then follow the prompts for additional entries.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (or CPR) was the Terran term for the manual stimulation of a being's heart and lungs. The technique as used on Earth was first perfected for surgical use in the 1940s, and again for first responders in the 1960s. Layman training in its use was common, and in many cases recommended, by the 1980s, with techniques under constant refinement and revision into the 21st century.
Further advances on Earth at the turn of the 21st century revealed that machines capable of compressing the entire rib cage could circulate blood in a patient far more efficiently than normal Human-administered CPR, which only compresses the sternum. This greatly increased the likelihood of patients surviving cardiac arrest. With the use of cortical stimulators and various advanced medicine, even this was obsolete for routine medicine by the 22nd century. (citation needed • edit)
Though uncommon due to technology, CPR was still used in the 23rd century if so required. Dr. Leonard McCoy attempted CPR on Chancellor Gorkon after technological methods failed. Although McCoy's CPR (along with what was possibly the "precordial thump" technique) revived Gorkon, he died moments later. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
In the 24th century, CPR was used solely in field medicine when other stimulant technologies were unavailable. It was typically used in conjunction with cordrazine, which was included in all field first aid kits. (VOY: "Coda")
CPR proved ineffective for patients who had lost a significant amount of blood. In 2374, Kathryn Janeway attempted CPR on a dying crewmember, but was discouraged by The Doctor for that reason. (VOY: "Scientific Method")

With the Dogs Out, the Supreme Court Turns to Blockbuster Finale
The dog days are over at the Supreme Court.
Insiders—including justices—have been known to call the workaday cases before the court the "dogs," setting the necessary rulings on bankruptcy, attorneys' fees and procedural matters apart from major holdings that can drive social and economic shifts in U.S. society. With two weeks left before the end of the court's current term, the dogs have all been released, leaving in the final push 17 cases involving such issues as the privacy of cellphone data, religious exemptions from the Affordable Care Act, and the president's recess-appointment power.

The invasion of the Cuban treefrog is a case study in what happens when an interloper that is a prolific breeder enters a new environment through human commercial activity. First identified in the Florida Keys in the 1920s, this frog is now found throughout Florida and is rapidly moving into Georgia and the Carolinas, as well as westward toward the Texas coast. The Cuban treefrog spreads not only via ornamental plants, but also by motorized vehicles, trailered boats, and many other unusual methods.
This spread is devastating to the indigenous frogs because the Cuban treefrog grows to twice the size of both the green and squirrel treefrogs and is capable of eating them. Furthermore, the Cuban treefrog tadpole is a superior competitor to native tadpoles, causing even more pressure on the indigenous species. It also appears to be negatively impacting certain smaller fish in the locales it has moved into.
The situation has become so dire that Dr. Steve Johnson, assistant professor of urban wildlife ecology at the University of Florida, wrote an article in which he instructs homeowners on how to euthanize and dispose of all the Cuban treefrogs they might encounter around their homes. This document is available on the Web site of the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (edis.ifas.ufl.edu/UW259). The recommended method is to catch the frogs using a plastic bag and freeze them. This method is the least cruel as the frog simply goes to sleep and can be disposed of later.
Article Photos
The Cuban treefrog readily gets into homes and condominiums, swims in toilets, can be found under sinks, has been known to short out electrical boxes, and generally wreaks havoc on the environment. Studies are now under way to explore the use of biological or chemical deterrents to halt or at least slow the continued spread of this invasive species.
The Cuban treefrog eats a wide variety of insects, but has also been known to consume Indo-Pacific geckos, green and brown anoles, and bird eggs, as well as some smaller hatchlings. It has become the prey of choice for yellow rat, coral, and corn snakes and is heavily preyed upon by rodents.
You should always take care in handling the Cuban treefrog as its skin secretes a sticky substance that is extremely irritating to the mucous membranes of humans, such as the eyes, ears, and nose. People with allergies are especially vulnerable, and recovery from contact with a Cuban treefrog may take several hours. Although it has not been documented to be responsible in any dog or cat deaths, pets should be kept away from this potentially harmful frog. Given its ability to adapt and thrive in urban environments, the Cuban treefrog battle will probably end with the frog winning.
