Hi and welcome. I had a 2005 Maxima SL and traded it for the 2012 Murano SL AWD. I really liked the Max, but was getting too old to get into and out of the Max.
Black is a great color when it's clean. When I had a black car, I found that keeping it clean, avoiding car washes, and when washing and waxing keeping it out of the direct sunlight and working with a cool surface kept the finish from streaking and showing fine scratches.
2012 SL AWD Tinted Bronze

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI
MATT J. WHITWORTH
Contact Don Ledford, Public Affairs ● (816) 426-4220 ● 400 East Ninth Street, Room 5510 ● Kansas City, MO 64106
DECEMBER 11, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FORMER VATTEROTT DIRECTOR PLEADS GUILTY
TO FINANCIAL AID FRAUD
KC SCHOOL RECEIVED $344,000 IN FEDERAL AID
FOR INELIGIBLE STUDENTS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Matt J. Whitworth, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a former employee at the Kansas City, Mo., campus of Vatterott College pleaded guilty in federal court today to his role in a conspiracy to fraudulently obtain more than $344,000 in federal financial aid for ineligible students by providing false general equivalency diplomas (GEDs) and falsifying financial aid forms.
Kevin Earl Woods, 46, of Louisville, Ky., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Gary A. Fenner this afternoon to the charge contained in a Feb. 5, 2009, federal indictment.
By pleading guilty today, Woods admitted that from August 2005 to July 2006, he and co-defendants Dominic L. Campbell, 38, of Kansas City, Mo., and Dale Odei Marbell, 33, a citizen of Ghana residing in Indianapolis, Ind., participated in a conspiracy to fraudulently obtain federal student grants and student loans for ineligible students at Vatterott College. Campbell and Marbell have also pleaded guilty to their roles in the conspiracy.
As a result of this conspiracy, approximately $344,881 in federal financial aid was disbursed to Vatterott College on behalf of students who were ineligible because they had neither graduated from high school nor obtained a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) certificate.
All three defendants began working at Vatterott College as admissions representatives. Woods, who began working for Vatterott in November 2003, was eventually promoted to campus co-director, a position he held until June 2006. As campus co-director, Woods was responsible for overseeing the Kansas City campus of Vatterott, including the financial aid and admissions departments and including the approval of all prospective student enrollment agreements. Campbell, who began working for Vatterott in December 2004, was eventually promoted to director of enrollment, a position he held until his termination in July 2006. As director of enrollment, Campbell was responsible for supervising approximately 12 admissions representatives, including Marbell. Marbell, who began working for Vatterott in July 2005, was an admissions representative until his termination in July 2006.
Campbell, Marbell and Woods admitted that they enrolled students at Vatterott whom they knew were ineligible to receive federal funding. Not only did Vatterott obtain federal funds it was not entitled to receive, but the defendants took credit for artificially inflated enrollment numbers at Vatterott to increase the likelihood of promotion and advancement.
On many occasions, ineligible students who enrolled at Vatterott College without a high school diploma or GED were told to sign up for a GED class. A GED verification request form was placed in the student’s file, but the form was never actually sent to the state for verification. Additionally, all ineligible students who were enrolled without a high school diploma or GED were instructed by the conspirators to answer “Yes” to a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form question which asked, “Will you have a high school diploma or GED before you begin the 200X -200Y school year?”
Additionally, the conspirators advised several eligible students (i.e. students with a valid high school diploma or GED) to list fictional dependents on their FAFSA forms believing that it would result in increased student financial aid.
Under federal statutes, each of the co-defendants is subject to a sentence of up to five years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000. Marbell is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 22, 2009, and Campbell is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 15, 2010. A sentencing hearing for Woods will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David M. Ketchmark and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Trey Alford. It was investigated by the Department of Education – Office of Inspector General.

2007 Dodge Challenger 392 HEMI Super Stock
Next year marks the 50th anniversary of an engine that revolutionized not only drag racing, but the entire automotive industry as well: The legendary 392 HEMI®. Mention the word "HEMI" to an automotive enthusiast and little else needs to be said. Or, perhaps a lot more needs to be said depending on your perspective.
2007 Dodge Challenger 392 HEMI Super Stock
Transmission:6 Speed Manual
Horsepower @ RPM:540
Torque @ RPM:490
"The 392 HEMI is a legend so rich in automotive tradition that hundreds, if not thousands, of books and accounts have been written about its historical significance," said Chris Cortez, senior vice president – Global Service & Parts, Chrysler Group."
The History of the 392 HEMI
The original 392 HEMI engine was introduced in the new 1957 model year Chryslers and Imperials. It replaced the 354 cubic-inch version of the original HEMI launched in 1951.
Compared with the 354, the 392 was completely revised and improved, with larger valves and ports, a beefier block and crankshaft, and improved bearings. In short, the 392 HEMI, often referred to simply as the "92," was perfect for drag racing.
More than a few racers bolted on six or eight carburetors, slipped in a hotter cam, tipped some nitro into the tank and went racing. Racing legend Don Garlits ran a 392 in his Swamp Rat I at record speeds of over 180 mph on nitro with no supercharger. Garlits also used a 392 HEMI to officially break the 200-mph barrier when his Swamp Rat went 201.34 mph at Atco, N.J. in 1964.
Dodge Challenger Super Stock Concept with 392 HEMI by Mopar
To further commemorate the legacy of the 392, Chrysler Group and Mopar are unveiling a SEMA first: a concept vehicle tricked out just for SEMA. From Detroit’s 2006 North American International Auto Show and a year before its production debut, the stunning Dodge Challenger Super Stock with 392 HEMI by Mopar.
"There was really only one vehicle choice to showcase our new crate motor-the bold, powerful and capable, Dodge Challenger," said Cortez.
One of the most iconic muscle cars of the 1970s, it debuted in the fall of 1969 as a 1970 model. Although it was only produced from 1970 to 1974 (188,600 sold), the Dodge Challenger earned a reputation as one of the most desirable of the original "pony cars," with meticulously restored and rare examples today selling for six-figure prices.
The Challenger went racing in its first year and HEMI-powered Challengers tore up the drag strips across the country in the SCCA Trans-am series and NHRA Pro Stock classes. In 1971, a Dodge Challenger paced the Indianapolis 500.
"The HEMI legacy lives on," said Cortez. "But this Dodge Challenger Super Stock concept will no doubt bring that legacy to a whole new generation."
The all-new Dodge Challenger will debut as a 2008 model in calendar-year 2008.
392 Technical Specifications
To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary engine, Mopar is launching an all-new 392 HEMI crate motor for a new generation of performance enthusiasts. This engine-built with all new components-is a complete engine assembly from the throttle body to the oil pan, and cranks out 525 horsepower in it most potent form.

- P5253605 392 HEMI Crate Engine – SEFI, 525 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque

Have you ever taken a moment’s notice to wonder how exactly we consume the American staples we have been brought up to love?
For example, Kraft American cheese singles. Don’t get me wrong, a Kraft single on top of a burger is almost necessary during a summer cookout. Or perhaps place a few of those singles sandwiched in between bread to make a delicious grilled cheese.
But its so perfectly square, so rubbery and flexible… I can’t help myself from wondering, how do we eat this!? This isn’t food!
Luckily for us Americans, Robert Kenner has made a documentary called Food, Inc. The documentary will uncover the nasty truths about what goes on underground in the U.S. Food Industry.
The Slow Food Chicago organization has been reaching out to help counteract the fast food movement of America. It’s something to think about when more and more Americans are looking towards the McDonald’s Dollar Menu during tough economic times.

We are overly dependent on fossil fuels for energy production. Burning fossil fuels releases toxic gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the environment. Moreover, fossil fuels are non-renewable resources of energy. Once we run out of fossil fuel reserves, we will have to wait for millions of years to obtain them. To reduce over dependence on fossil fuels, many experts suggest using solar power to meet our daily energy needs. Solar energy is available free of cost, does not pollute, and will be available for as long as the human race exists. Considering the immense potential of solar energy, experts tout it as the energy of the future. To reduce their carbon footprint, and keep a tab on energy costs, many families have started preferring solar homes in Santa Rosa over conventional homes. Solar power systems are highly efficient at trapping energy of the Sun and converting it into electricity. Critics, however, are cynical about the potential of solar energy, and frown upon the idea that energy from the Sun holds the key to solving our energy conundrum. Most detractors of solar energy doubt the capability of solar-powered devices and argue that because solar power systems are not dependable, energy from the Sun cannot be harnessed to meet the needs of an energy-hungry world. Their apprehensions stem from various misconceptions about solar power systems doing rounds in the market. We try to shatter some such myths. Take a look.
1. Solar Panels Wouldn’t Work for Me Because I Live in a Cold Region
Many people who live in cold areas wrongly believe that solar-powered systems would not work for them due to the unavailability of Sun for a large part of the year. This is a flawed argument, as the cells of solar devices are designed to store energy from the Sun, and later convert it into electricity.
2. I Cannot Afford Solar Panels
The cost of solar panels has dipped significantly during the past few years. To reduce your total cost, you can apply for tax rebates offered by the federal government and your state government. In many states, going solar costs less than purchasing electricity from utility companies. Families that do not want to pay the entire amount upfront can look for financing options. Going solar can help you keep a tab on energy costs. In most cases, families can recover the cost of their systems within 25 years or less.
3. Solar Panels Will Drag Down the Aesthetic Appeal of My Roof
Many homeowners argue that solar panels look ugly and can drag down the aesthetic appeal of their homes. Installation experts can help address this concern by installing panels at certain positions to minimize visual impact. In many cases, professionals mount panels on the ground. When installing panels, many experts use solar shingles that blend with the roof. To ensure aesthetics do not take a backseat, many solar panel manufacturing companies are coming up with sleek panels.
4. I Will Have to Dedicate Substantial Resources to Maintain My Solar Panels
Maintaining your solar panel system is no rocket science, and you do not have to dedicate substantial time and money to ensure it is up and running. Solar panels do not have any moving parts, which makes maintenance a breeze. All you need to do is clean the panel a few times a year to get rid of accumulated dirt and grime.
Contact Suntegrity Solar
These and many other myths surrounding solar panels are not grounded in facts. At Suntegrity Solar, we are committed to increasing awareness about solar-powered systems by shattering popular myths that often prevent homeowners from taking decisions with the best possible outcomes. If you have any questions regarding solar panels or solar energy, call us at 707-623-1464.

Fog-Free Systems for Many Mirror Types
ClearlyYou™ Mirror Defoggers come ready to install in several shapes and sizes to fit most mirror types. Pre-attached power leads conveniently connect to your bathroom's 120VAC lighting fixture.
Anti-fog bathroom mirrors draw only a minimal amount of energy, which makes them very cost effective. Get fogless shower mirrors, bathroom vanity mirrors, and wall mirrors. They also maintain a constant, regulated temperature of 104 degrees, keeping the glass steam free.
Installation should be done by a licensed professional to ensure that all wiring is in accordance with the National Electric Code. With that being said, installation is relatively simple. First, the professional will mark on the wall the location where the lead wires leave the mirror defogger. Next, they will install an electrical junction box in line with the mirror defogger’s lead wires. Then, they’ll run Romex cable from a nearby junction box to the new box. The closest box is typically the one that supplies power to the lighting fixture above the bathroom vanity. By linking these junction boxes, the mirror defogger will turn on automatically when the bathroom lights are turned on. Finally, they will adhere the mirror defogger to the back of the mirror and connect the lead wires to the Romex cable.
Mirror defogging systems are not suitable for installation in the shower.
Mirror defoggers can fit mirrors of different sizes and shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a mirror defogger work?
An ultra thin electric heating mat is attached to the back of the mirror, which transmits gentle warmth across a mirror’s surface to prevent moisture from condensing on the mirror's surface during a shower or bath.
What is the length of the cold lead for a mirror defogger?
A mirror defogger cold lead is 36 inches long.The voltage for all models is 120 Volts.
Can I wire it to the lighting circuit?
Can I use multiple defoggers on the same mirror?
Yes, but please make sure not to overlap multiple heating elements over each other.
What is the best way to keep bathroom mirrors from fogging up?
Installing a heating system behind your mirror is the most reliable way to avoid a foggy mirror. Typically, mirrors fog up because they are much cooler than the steam in a bathroom after a shower or bath. The cool surface of the mirror causes the moisture in the steam to condensate in the form of fog. A heated mirror will prevent this condensation by being as warm, or warmer, than the steam.
How do I glue a mirror to the wall and still have a defogger on it?
If you're gluing a mirror to a wall, simply apply adhesive to the mirror backing, not covered with the mirror defogger.
How quickly can a mirror defogger defog a mirror?
The mirror defogger will begin to defog the mirror within 5 minutes of operation.
Can a mirror defogger be controlled with a low-voltage dimmer switch?
The mirror defoggers are not designed for use with dimmer switches or with any low-voltage control.
How thick is the box on the back of the heating mat? Does it prevent the mirror from lying flat or flush against the wall?
The electrical junction box should be installed inline with the Mirror Defogger’s lead wires and box. The box at the back of the defogger is meant to be located over the electrical box in the wall. This way it will be in the electrical box and not interfere with the defogger being flush with the mirror and the wall. The location where the wires leave must be entirely within the area of the new electrical junction box.
Can I put a mirror defogger in my shower?
No. Mirror defoggers are not rated to be installed in wet locations like a shower enclosure.
Can you attach it to the back of a medicine cabinet door?
No. Mirror defoggers are designed to be mounted and wired to a fixed, wall-mounted mirror.
Can I trim the mirror defogger?
No. Mirror defoggers can't be trimmed and the proper size needs to be selected to fit on an open, unobstructed area on the back of the mirror.
Do radiant heating products have polarity?
Electric-resistance heating cables and systems have no polarity. This includes all current WarmlyYours heating elements.
The Defoggers were easy to install and they have worked just fine. Excellent product!
Great product! Does work better for new construction because of the need for power. But I put it in an existing bathroom during a refurb.
Works great. Was easy to install. I wired it so it turns on with the shower fan and the shower light.
I'm a DIY'r. This product was exactly what I needed. The packaging and pricing with the high end touch thermostat was the selling feature. Shipping was fast and well protected product. The instructions were very easy to follow. No challenges whatsoever during install. It's been several months now and it works perfectly. I would definitely purchase again!
The defogger works great. I added plugs and plugged them into recessed outlets that were installed in the remodel. They are in the same circuit as the exhaust fan, so the mirrors start heating when the fan turned on as soon as I enter the shower. I was nervous applying them to the back of the mirrors as the instructions said not to do any trimming, but realized that the excess could be trimmed off safely. The instructions should have pointed out that the oval ones might need to have the excess unnecessary adhesive material (without the wires) trimmed to conform to the mirror's shape unlike the adhesive backing which was not rectangular.
What an excellent company and excellent products. Just like the old days when companies really cared about their customers, these guys are awesome!!!
I was greeting in chat soon after logging into their web. She was genuine and very helpful in getting me the correct items I needed. The communication about shipping and tracking was great as well. My mind was at ease concerning my investment purchase! Thank you!

By Sebba, Anne
I don't think I've ever read a book that has moved me more ANTHONY HOROWITZ Masterful, original and painfully gripping, a historic miscarriage of justice laid bare for our times PHILIPPE SANDS Absolutely gripping in so many ways; beautifully written and superbly researched, a bri...lliant and fresh take on a famous case SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE What a soaring story that challenges on so many levels! Anne Sebba has an uncanny knack of upending historical orthodoxies in compelling style SONIA PURNELL Ethel Rosenberg's story is America's Dreyfus Affair: a catastrophic failure of humanity, and probably also of justice, that continues to haunt the national conscience and is still being played out with different actors in the lead roles today. On 19 June 1953 Rosenberg became the first woman to be executed by the US government in almost a century, and the only woman in the US to be executed for a crime other than murder. She was thirty-seven years old and the mother of two small children. Her case resonates more than ever today at a time of world tension and conspiracy rumours focused on a resurgent Soviet Union. Any battle to seek forgiveness for a convicted communist spy would, today, at a time when the Cold War seems all too resonant, stand little chance of success. But the story of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg refuses to die; this is an important moment to recount not simply what FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called the 'trial of the century', but also a timeless human story of a supportive wife, loving mother and idealist who had her life barbarically cut short for a crime she almost certainly did not commit. Ethel's story lays bare a nation once again deeply divided and unable to live at peace with itself.Read more

SpaceX is offering tickets for space tourists to fly on the same type of spacecraft that will bring NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). Through a partnership with the space tourism firm Space Adventures, four tickets are on sale to soar far above the ISS in a Crew Dragon capsule.
Space Adventures isn’t new to the space tourism game: between 2001 and 2009, it sent seven private individuals to the International Space Station aboard Russian Soyuz craft, charging tens of millions of dollars per trip. Since then, it has continued to sell tickets to space to wealthy individuals such as Google co-founder Sergey Brin, but hasn’t flown any other missions.
Now, the firm is poised to resume its flights. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft was developed to bring NASA astronauts to the ISS, and completed a flight to the ISS without crew in March. Its first mission with crew is planned for this year.
The flight with tourists is slated to launch after this, in late 2021 or 2022, but it will take a different trajectory. The mission will orbit Earth for up to five days at an altitude two to three times higher than the ISS, tweeted Space Adventures CEO Eric Anderson.
“The price of the mission will not be disclosed, but [is] in the range as other orbital spaceflight opportunities,” says Space Adventures representative Stacey Tearne. Prices for other Space Adventures flights have ranged from around $20 million for a trip to the ISS to $150 million for future flights around the moon.

Joseph S. Stone and second wife, Sarah appear in the 1860, 70, and 80 Benton County census. They lived in Gilboa Township. We believe that Sarah's maiden name was Lacey and would like to confirm that. Joseph and Sarah had a daughter named Sarah Eoline Stone who married George Nelson Marlow, son of William and Nancy Mullen Marlow. Thanks.

He’s A-OK. Steven Spielberg is producing a total of seven shows airing on American TV next season. – AFP
The filmmaker will be producing seven shows, becoming most active producer on the small screen.
Between July 2014 and early 2015, a total of seven shows backed by the filmmaker will air on American television. Taking the place of J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg has become the most active producer working for the small screen today.
Extant, Red Band Society, The Whispers and Public Morals are the four new Spielberg productions viewers can expect to find on TV in the coming months. These latest productions will join the returning dramas Falling Skies, The Americans and Under the Dome.
Aliens invade the airwaves
Unsurprisingly, a number of Spielberg’s productions are related to his signature themes, namely extra-terrestrial life forms. The director known for his sci-fi blockbusters E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind and War of the Worlds is bringing similar narratives to television.

By John M. Simpson.
On March 26, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed a lawsuit brought by certain animal rights advocates and organizations against several federal defendants challenging a decision of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) declining to enforce a permit condition allegedly requiring a marine mammal park to submit a necropsy report concerning a killer whale obtained the permit. Marino, et al. v. Nat’l Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin., et al., No. 18-cv-2750 (DLF) (D.D.C. Mar. 26, 2020).
The permit in question was issued under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) in 1992. In 1994, however, pursuant to amendments to the MMPA, while NMFS retained jurisdiction over “takes” and importation of marine mammals, authority over the care and maintenance of permitted animals in the possession of zoological facilities was transferred to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. When the killer whale died in 2017, NMFS took the position that jurisdiction over the animal’s necropsy report now lay with APHIS.
Plaintiffs challenged NMFS’ decision as arbitrary and capricious and on other grounds under the federal Administrative Procedure Act. The plaintiffs included four individual scientists associated with animal rights advocacy, including Lori Marino, Heather Rally and Naomi Rose, as well as five organizations known for animal rights or anti-captivity views: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), Earth Island Institute, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and Cetacean Society International. The district court granted the government’s motion to dismiss on Article III standing grounds. None of the plaintiffs had standing to sue because none of them had an “injury in fact” pursuant to D.C. Circuit precedent defining “informational injury” for purposes of Article III standing.
As the district court reasoned:
None of the plaintiffs have alleged that they have “been deprived of information” that, even on their interpretation of the law, “a statute requires the government or a third party to disclose” to them. [Electronic Privacy Info. Ctr. v. U.S. Dep’t of Commerce, 928 F.3d 95, 103 (D.C. Cir. 2019) (“EPIC”).] Nor could they. Indeed, nothing in the MMPA—or any other statute—requires NMFS to collect necropsy reports from the marine parks and zoos it regulates. To the contrary, as the plaintiffs’ own complaint acknowledges, the MMPA “authorize[s] NOAA to issue permits to take or import marine mammals,” Compl. ¶ 56 (emphasis added); the MMPA directs that permits issued by NMFS “specify any . . . terms or conditions which [NMFS] deems appropriate,” id. ¶ 57 (quoting 16 U.S.C. § 1374(b)(2)(D) (emphasis added)); and the permits that NMFS ultimately issued merely “routinely . . . required that the permit holder submit necropsies, clinical histories, and other medical records to NMFS,” id. ¶ 59 (emphasis added). The unenforced Necropsy Provisions that the plaintiffs identify as the source of their alleged injuries are not creatures of statute, but instead consequences of NMFS’s discretionary decision to include those provisions in the permits it issued, as well as its discretionary decision to issue those permits in the first place. Accordingly, no statute “requires the government or a third party to disclose” the information that the plaintiffs seek, EPIC, 928 F.3d at 103, and the plaintiffs have therefore failed to allege a cognizable informational injury.
Slip op. at 8-9.
In an ironic twist, the district court found controlling a prior D.C. Circuit decision in which AWI and other animal rights groups had also unsuccessfully invoked “informational injury” standing in a lawsuit brought against a circus operator, Feld Entertainment, claiming that the care and maintenance of its Asian elephants constituted a prohibited “take” under the Endangered Species Act. American Soc’y for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals v. Feld Entmt., Inc., 659 F.3d 13 (D.C. Cir. 2011). After a 6 ½ week bench trial, the lack of standing in that case was so obvious that the district court found that the litigation was frivolous and vexatious from its inception and ruled that the defendant was entitled to recover its attorney’s fees from AWI and the other organizations. Animal Welfare Inst. v. Feld Entmt., Inc., 944 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 2013). Counsel for the plaintiffs also were sanctioned under 28 U.S.C. § 1927 in that same decision. Furthermore, in a parallel case, the same court ruled that the abusive manner in which the ESA litigation had been conducted by AWI and the other parties stated a cause of action under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Feld Entmt., Inc. v. American Soc’y for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 873 F. Supp. 2d 288 (D.D.C. 2012). These rulings ultimately paved the way for the recovery by Feld Entertainment of more than $25 million from the adverse parties (including AWI) and their counsel.

There’s More Than One Saturday in October
We just checked with Google Calendar, there are FIVE Saturdays in October but it seems everyone is throwing a big festival on the the first.
There’s the Midtown Village Fall Festival and two other outdoor fests just in Center City. Love Park is throwing a festival of its own with food trucks, bands and Yards beer. The festival costs $20 per person and will feature the debut of Pitruco, the latest mobile pizza oven that will be serving up Neapolitan style pizzas. Saturday is also the official debut of Lenfest Plaza. The all-day affair will also feature Tyson Bee’s, Dapper Dog, The Crepewalk, Buttercream, SugarPhilly, Cantina Burrito and House of Pita.
Over in Fishtown the RiverCity Festival brings live music, a beer garden and a fun run to Penn Treaty Park.
At the Institute it is third annual Great Pumpkin Beer festival with a terrifying number of pumpkin beers to try. And then there’s also the Farmers’ Cabinet’s Franctoberfest of German craft beers. And that doesn’t even get into whatever we’ve forgotten that we’re sure you all will post in the comments.
All great events, but next year, can we spread them out a bit?

My current hobby is creation of Shazam like service for bird songs. I started with looking for a birds songs dataset. Fortunately there is a Xeno Canto site which is crowd-sourcing platform for building up bird songs and calls database.
I decided to start with classification of 30 most commonly recorded European birds.
The Xeno Canto data
Through Xeno Canto API I downloaded all available top quality recording for these 30 birds (9875 separate mp3 files 20Gb in total).
The most common species among top quality recording is Great Tit. It has 903 files with total duration of more than 13 hours.
The longest total duration of the recordings holds Common Blackbird with more than 27 hours of recordings.
The longest single recording (1 hour 18 minutes) is Marsh Warbler recorded by Volker Arnold in Heide, Germany.
The shortest single recording is of 0.764 seconds (Red Crossbill).
The average duration of the recording is 1 min 35 seconds.
95% of the files are shorter then 4:10.
And 1% of the files are longer then 9:45.
Some technical details
All of the files are mp3.
They vary in sampling rate. The most abundant is 44.1 kHz.
Most of the files are stereo while some are not.
The API does not provide an ability to extract other species that may present within each recording, however site itself give that ability. It’s a pity because it could bring serious impediments to the machine learning process. Hope, I’ll find the way to cope with it.

The purpose of the training was to make sure that famers (TOTs), are equipped to train others in their respective areas. By equipping famers to train others, TOAM and ADDA can reach more farmers than they could by their own efforts.
The trainings were successful in every village, with more than 50 lead farmers (ToTs) successfully learning the basics of organic farming and facilitation skills.

Many people come to therapy knowing they could do with some support but unsure what to expect from a session.
Counsellors and psychotherapists work in many different ways.
I am trained in the Person-Centred Approach, pioneered by American Psychologist, Carl Rogers. He believed that people are the experts of their own experience and individuals can be supported to uncover what is troubling them and decide how best to address that.
I aim to provide the right conditions within a secure space, for us to work together to explore the issues you bring. I see my role as listening and understanding to the best of my ability what it is like to be you, without any negative judgement of what you tell me. I will not analyse you, or try to offer solutions or advice, but rather I will work in collaboration with you. I trust you will find your own way forward as a result.
The latest research shows that, whatever training the therapist has, one of the most important factors in successful therapy is the client-therapist relationship. I believe strongly this relationship is created between the two of us in the room. I have seen how beneficial a strong and trusting relationship can be. On the other hand, I might not be the right person for you, and that is also fine. I strongly recommend you try more than one therapist before deciding who is the best 'fit' for you.
It is difficult to explain how counselling and psychotherapy works in words. If you have any questions after reading the above, do feel free to contact me by email, phone or text message.
People often wonder about the difference between counselling and psychotherapy. I am trained in psychotherapy and that is a longer and more in-depth training, but my view is that the terms can be used inter-changeably.

The West Grace Street Association’s Candlelight Tour 2112 will take place Saturday, February 11, from 4-8PM:
Six beautiful homes will be on the tour, and six local restaurants & chefs will shine. Cooper Vineyards will provide a sampling of wine at each stop!
First up is the home of John and Chen Mahoney at 1630 W. Grace, built in 1904. Josie Flemotomos from Gus’s Bar & Grill (2701 W. Broad St.) will be on tap to serve up a sampler platter from their elaborate menu, which is far from traditional sports bar food. Located on the edge of the Fan, Gus’s is widely known as a “fun place to hang out,” and Josie prides herself on combining outstanding food with cold beer and friendly service.
Joe and Christine Baum are excited to show visitors a new courtyard garden complete with a trickling, lighted waterfall behind their lovely home at 1812 W. Grace. Melissa Barlow from The Empress will be sampling a treat from their menu of organic, local, completely made-from-scratch items including freshly baked sourdough paninis, sweet or savory crepes, and artful hand-crafted desserts.
Mike and Jessica Dyer at 1819 W. Grace have a completely renovated and gorgeously decorated three-story home, where Xavier Beverly from The Camel (1621 W. Broad St.) will hand out chef Scott Miller’s famous sausage stars, as well as a signature sandwich. A beloved neighborhood venue, The Camel has live music every night of the week, rotating monthly art on the walls, and 28 draught beers.
Bob and Leslie Lytle at 2203 W. Grace have a large and gorgeously updated kitchen, perfect for Chef Augusto “Auggie” Lopez from The Republic (2053 West Broad) to take over. Visitors will enjoy cherry tomatoes filled with duck confit and boursin cheese, as well as a surprise dish. The Republic serves “international comfort food,” including small plates, soups, sandwiches, and entrees with international flare. They have a variety of bands and DJs throughout the week, and they never charge a cover.
Chef Chad Stambaugh from Emilio’s Tapas Bar will round out the 2200 block at Sharon Glover’s impressive home at 2239 W. Grace. Emilio’s menu features 45 different tapas, Valencian paellas, and authentic recipes prepared with imported ingredients. Customers come to Emilios to enjoy an evening of Spanish culture, music, and colorful art. The signature dish for tour guests is a secret, but don’t be surprised to see some paella!
Last but definitely not least is the warm and beautiful home of Kevin and Sarah Gross, boasting a grand wraparound porch and a bright and inviting new kitchen. Manny from the Fan’s favorite Cuban bodega, Kuba Kuba, will be serving from their well-known menu of authentic Cuban appertivos, emparidados, and entradas!
Tickets for the tour are on sale now at Strawberry Fields Flowers & Gifts (432 Strawberry St.), Strawberry Street Vineyard (407 Strawberry St.) , Lucille’s Bakery (719 N. Meadow St.), and Lift Coffee (218 W. Broad St.). Visit westgracestreet.com for more information.

Hello friends! It's been awhile! Ok, so I have to admit, I have been in a cooking slump.... UNTIL, I found this amazing product! My sister in law introduced me to it while we were slaving over making our annual batches of raspberry freezer jam! THIS WAS THE EASIEST recipe EVER and good news, there is really no stirring or waiting required!
( I bought it at Harmon's grocery store in Utah for $8.00. It can also be found at all Whole Food Stores and specialty grocery stores. Walmart DOES NOT carry it.)
REDUCED SUGAR FREEZER JAM
4 cups finely chopped or crushed fruit or berries
2 cups sugar or sweetener equivalent
2 TBS. lemon juice
1/2 cup of Ultra Gel
Combine crushed fruit, sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Gradually add Ultra Gel, stirring constantly. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken and stir until smooth. Package in jars, label, date and freeze!
Yields 5 cups. ( I was able to make 12 jars from doing this recipe 2 times!)
(Recipe from label on the above product.)
And of course... I HAD HELP!

Jose Mourinho’s first summer transfer period with Tottenham took place quite busy. The North London team has just welcomed one more rookie, from the English First Division.
Although the summer market has closed with the top 5 European leagues, in the UK Premier League clubs can still buy, sell, or loan players to under-ranked teams until 5 pm on October 16. And with an old coach like Jose Mourinho, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Tottenham has rookie Joe Rodon from Swansea
Therefore, in the final moments of the internal transfer window in England, Tottenham was the only big man who was active in strengthening his forces until the end. This team has completed the 7th contract called Joe Rodon.
On the homepage, Tottenham announced that it had bought Joe Rodon from Swansea. This contract is worth 11 million pounds, in addition to some additional terms. The midfielder on October 22, 1997, signed a 5-year contract with the Tottenham Stadium home team and wore the No. 14 shirt.
Possessing the ideal height with a midfielder of 1m93, the Welsh player is very strong in aerial combat and is expected to significantly add strength to the Tottenham defense. Although the name is not a digital star, Joe Rodon possesses the growth potential.
Not yet at the age of 23, the midfielder has had 66 official matches in the colors of Swansea and Cheltenham Town clubs, with 7 matches with Wales.
Coach Jose Mourinho has two hard midfielders
After the departure of Jan Vertonghen, coach Jose Mourinho only has two hard midfielders, Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez and many times had to pull Eric Dier down to “fire”. Rodon will therefore be a quality choice to help the Portuguese strategist feel more secure when rotating the force.
Rodon is the seventh rookie to join Tottenham in the summer market of 2020. Before that, the North London team welcomed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (from Southampton), Matt Doherty (from Wolves), Joe Hart (free transfer), Sergio Reguillon, Gareth Bale (both from Real Madrid), and Carlos Vinicius (from Benfica).
On the last day of the British internal transfer, Liverpool confirmed that young striker Harvey Elliott join Blackburn on loan for the rest of the season. Also, Harry Wilson’s move to Cardiff is also on loan to help Liverpool earn 1 million pounds. And the last person to leave Liverpool was young midfielder Ben Woodburn on loan to Blackpool.

A group of youngsters from Willingdon Community School are fundraising for an aid trip to Kabubbu with local charity the Quicken Trust.
The Year 11 pupils have held a number of successful fundraising events including a car boot sale, which brought in £200 and a cake sale raising an impressive £850.
The youngsters are raising money to fund the trip to Kabubbu and help people in poverty.
The young people are passionate about helping others and told the Herald, “We believe that the local charity we are working with (The Quicken Trust), has an incredible attitude towards helping those in the village.
“They have been working closely with the Community in Kabubbu since 1999, and have forged strong relationships with the villagers.
“This enables them to work together to determine what it is they actually need. The help is then specific to the problem- helping them to aspire and achieve their own aims.”
The Quicken Trust built a primary school in 2002, that now teaches more than 400 children. Their work has been hugely beneficial to the village community because in Uganda, only 14 per cent of students complete their education. In Kabubbu the figure is 89 per cent.
Any money donated to the cause could sponsor a child to go through their education.
Cash could also go towards paying the staff in the Kabubbu Parish Health Centre. The centre transforms the lives of those suffering from AIDS and Malaria. It treats around 18,000 people a year.

Coconut Oil 250ml Kitchen Jar (Nutrition)
Ideal food use jar
Coconut oil is primarily composed of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) excellent for health, and being able to tolerate high cooking temperatures while making food smell and taste delicious. These MCFAs are also believed to boost immunity. Growing opinion in health circles suggesting coconut oil helps ward off degenerative diseases such as; Alzheimer, Parkinson and Heart disease. Healthy fats like coconut oil are necessary so that we can absorb fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A,D,E, K and beta-carotene. Converts more readily into energy rather that fat - ideal for sports people and the health conscious alike.
Why choose this jar?
❯ This 250ml Kitchen Jar is the perfect size to get a table spoon into to get your coconut oil out of the jar and into your cooking.
❯ Don't throw this jar away, instead refill it from our bulk 750ml bottle (the most inexpensive way to buy our oil), the two go hand in hand.
We believe that Coconut oil is a vital component to maintaining ones full health. As it has a diverse range of attributes we have brought you a multi-use refill/recycle system to help integrate this incredible natural resource into your lifestyle.
Remember Coconut oil is a liquid over 24.5 degrees so watch spillage when opening in summer months. Cold pressed coconut oil doesn't go rancid easily if stored in a cool, dark place, don't leave in the sun on bench tops.

Biospherically Correct Info
To what extent does the cultivation and extraction of the raw materials necessary to produce this product;enhance the diversity of life, that is, aids the greater biospheric services of the planet, the localised eco systems (species and habitat protection) and preserves the associated knowledge, customs and prosperity of the indigenous cultures of the territory?Biospherically Correct
Our coconut oil comes from a model farm that creates work for the local people of Labasa- Fiji, supporting the local community to effectively utilise its natural resources by working with the land to sustainably support itself. Coconut products are part of the farm model and possible uses include: cooking oil, food, coconut bu, fibre, fuel, shelter and skin lotion
As the local people have become increasingly removed from living on the land and the knowledge associated with it, many have looked to
Summary: Diversity protection is achieved through local people being able to replicate the ecologically sustainable, productive model of the farm thus securing their livelihoods and the prosperity of future generations.
Do the ingredients in the product meet the criteria for being 'green ingredients', that is, organic and/or natural, high yielding and sustainable?Biospherically Correct
Our coconut oil is naturally organic and is derived from coconuts sourced throughout the island of Labasa, Fiji. In this setting palms grow naturally without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. Coconut palms produce about 35 coconuts per year once established (5-7 years) and provide a continuous supply of raw materials which may otherwise go unutilised, especially in remote areas.
The oil we bring to you is extracted from the raw 'meat' of the coconut. Our coconut oil is not hydrogenated, refined, bleached or deodorised and contains no solvents, preservatives or additives. It is processed in small batches, allowing the oil to be produced from the fresh coconut meat within a short time of opening the coconut. Our oil is not made from Copra (dried coconut flesh) as oil made from copra requires refining to remove impurities and in the process the aroma and flavour are diminished.
Summary: Our pure, cold pressed (see Eco Processes) coconut oil is inherently organic, from a naturally occurring sustainable supply.
How positive for the individual, society and the environment is the function of the product in its final form?Biospherically Correct
Coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat. It doesn't easily go rancid and can tolerate high temperatures, so it's ideal for cooking.
Coconut oil is primarily composed of cholesterol free, medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) which help protect against heart disease. MCFAs may aid weight loss because they boost the metabolism, burning calories. Healthy fats like coconut oil are necessary so that we can absorb fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A,D,E, K and beta-carotene.The MCFAs in coconut oil are also known to boost immunity. For example, Lauric acid (also found in breast milk) is vital for building and maintaining the immune system. MCFAs provide a shield against disease because of their anti microbial properties, potentially aiding the healing of fungal and bacterial infections.
It is wonderful for topical application because it is easily absorbed onto the skin making it almost the same as eating it, so food grade oil such as ours is preferable, "If you wouldn't eat it, it's best not to put it on your skin!" Coconut oil is ideal for relieving cracked, dry skin, improving elasticity leaving a natural, attractive sheen.
Coconut oil is also a complete hair treatment in itself. It is effective as a pre shampoo conditioning treatment and helps to minimize protein loss caused during regular washing; keeping each hair strand strong. Also useful as a treatment for dandruff.
Summary: Much research has been done into the positive benefits of coconut oil. We are proud to bring you this product.
How well do the processes inherent in the manufacturing, packaging and distribution of this product sustain nature?Biospherically Correct
Coconuts fall from trees when fully mature so harvesting does not harm the palm. Our oil is processed using a simple chemical free method of extraction with easily learnt skills, making it ideal for small rural island communities. Coconuts are opened using a machete (a traditional practice), the fresh coconut meat is scooped out and shredded before being placed on extraction tables. The oil flows naturally due to a low heat source from underneath the tables. In this way all the natural goodness and flavour of the coconut is retained.
Where possible, materials used for packaging and labelling are capable of bio-intergrating back into the environment as part of our 'cradle to cradle' philosophy. Labels are made from recycled paper and printed with vegetable inks. All of our self adhesive labels are made to be compostable and our printers participate in the Enviro Mark NZ Programme, currently reaching Bronze certification. We use glass jars and PLA plastic(750ml bulk bottle- in warm water oil becomes a liquid and is used to refill smaller jars (this does not harm the oil) as part of an environmentally friendly reuse/refill system. Polylactic acid plastic (PLA) is made from renewable, biodegradable cornstarch which breaks down into water or organic matter. During manufacture and decompostion no toxic gases are used or produced.The ongoing everyday logistical issues and the associated reliance on fossil fuels represents an area for improvement. We look for such improvement to help raise our skin care range to a 2nd Generation Biospherically correct product in the future.
Summary: The processes used to supply our coconut oil to you are all part of a model designed to sustain nature.
How well does the supply and promotion of this product align with the principles of trade Integrity: transparency of information, honest/accurate advertising claim, traceability of ingredients and an emphasis of working via gratifying and harmonious business relationships?Biospherically Correct
To the best of our knowledge the claims we make are accurate. One Ingredient-traceable to point of origin. Our pricing is fair and reflects the quality of the product. The coconut industry has been the victim of misleading information disseminated to the public. Wrongly, trans fats and saturated fats have become intertwined, both being viewed as unhealthy. This has lead to hardship in countries dependent on the coconut industry. However, things are now improving in this regard as accurate research brings to light proof that coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat.
At Vision Products we value the principles of the VFH (Vision for Humanity) vision statement, "A successful planet where the attributes of love, forgiveness, compassion, tolerance and intergrity form the basis of every human interaction and endeavour." A basis to help form socially responsible and ecologically sustainable practices. Utilizing the unique 'Biospherically Correct' rating methodology, we have given our Coconut oil a Biospherically Correct rating of 2. Petroleum dependent logistical practices represent the greatest potential areas for improvement towards a higher Biospherically Correct rating in the future. Please support us as we endeavour to continually improve our products for you.
Summary: As the benefits of this oil resurface we hope that people will embrace using this health enhancing oil. Our coconut oil is part of a project supporting local Fijiian people into sustainable industry (see Diversity protection)
Packaged in a glass bottle with eco compostable stick on labels and wraps made from recycled paper and vegetable inks.
Brought to you in four convenient sizes: Bulk 750ml bottle, 250ml kitchen jar, 50ml travel size jar and 150ml massage bottle.
Biospherically Correct Rating
This product carries a Biospherically Correct rating of 1 2 3
This Second Generation marker means that you can trust we've endeavoured to consider all social and ecological elements intrinsic to this product. Your purchase is an important part in helping us bring more 2nd and then 3rd generation Biospherically Correct products to the world. For more information click through the icons below.

A very interesting paper whose title "sleepwalking toward a control society" is reminiscent of the closing paragraph in my TEDx talk. The report is written by Prof. Kai Ekholm and Paivikki Karhula of IFLA.
Clarke's paper on Uberveillance and the notion of data surveillance is prominent throughout the report.
Here is an excerpt:
"Overall, perspectives to the users’ rights on the Internet need to extend from contents and access to cover the infrastructure of communications. In this broad context users’ should have a right to express versatile views and produce contents which does not reflect the mainstream values without fear. Users should gain more control over the management of their person related data to be able to check, correct and follow up how their person related data is used (e.g. European data protection law recognizes these types of requirements as data subject rights, EDPS 2012).
A closed and non-transparent setting of infrastructural censorship and data surveillance should be opened in a future. Since data collection and management becomes more and more invisible, people need facts about the context in which surveillance schemes are to be deployed (Clarke 2007). In an environment of extended data collection, users would require more protections against tracking, monitoring and use of their data without their consent. Otherwise, the setting of ubiquitous environment may produce fatal consequences for users and society."
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) is the leading international body representing the interests of library and information services and their users. It is the global voice of the library and information profession."

Monergism.com Update - August 2006
"…that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed upon us through the prayers of many." - II Corinthians 1:11
IMPORTANT UPDATE TO ALL OUR REGULAR VISITORS AT MONERGISM.COM
This past year, the Lord has blessed the reach of this ministry farther than we could have imagined. It is truly a blessing to see an increase in traffic and the daily inquiries we receive. I thank God, through your faithful prayers, that He has entrusted to us a tremendous increase of influence. While that causes us great joy yet we similarly recognize the attendant solemn responsibility this entails. Knowing all too well our own weakness I ask you to uphold us in prayer.
Likewise, wicked men and the minions of hell itself are particularly interested in attacking those who study, teach and apply God’s Word. In addition to our outward difficulties, juggling responsibilities of family, business, seminary, church and ministry, there is always the problem with the sin within our own hearts. It is very real so we are thankful for those who continue to pray for us and for this ministry. If you have not done so before we would encourage you to consider setting aside some time each week to lift us up in intercession before the Lord. We have truly seen the effectiveness of having other believers pray both on the mission field and at monergism.com. Your prayers do reach God's ears and they make the difference between success and failure. They concurrently work within the sovereign plan of God and for the advancement of His kingdom in the hearts and minds of men.
How can I express my thanks to you for your partnership? One of the best ways I know to do that is to share with you how your partnership is making a difference. As I come into to my office/library each day, I find a pile of messages in my email inbox thanking us for this ministry and the difference the resources it has gathered has made in people's lives. The Christian resources gathered on the site, mined from all over the Interent, we pray, are to the glory of Christ, pointing to Him and His work.
Here are just a few recent ones that I received:
"I tried to think of an elegant way to say this, but words fail me and so I simply say thank you so much for this site, I pray that God continues to bless this endeavor, that it touches the lives of many as it has touched mine."
"I just wanted to send a quick thank you in regards to how great an encouragement this website has been to me in both personal study and in aiding me as I teach at my church. Again, thank you for providing a God-honoring, Christ-centered collaboration of information."
"I just wanted to send along a quick note of thanks for the work you and others do with the Monergism website. I am a pastor of a church in New Zealand and I find the resources you provide to be like water to my soul. Keep up the good work."
"I have only recently come across your website. Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a tremendous resource! I can't wait to dive into the numerous articles, online books, and other wonderful resources you have graciously provided."
"....John, for creating and maintaining such a wonderful website. I use it constantly. I refer my fellow elders at church to it... and otherwise cheerlead for it as much as possible. Just wanted to say thanks. I'm praying for you."
"I am overwhelmed by the depth and the expanse of the materials on this site. I just want to thank you for what I know to be many years of hard work by many people who love Christ. If I never visit another reformed website, there is enough material here to facilitate my learning about God and His Word for the rest of my days. Our "holy hunger" for God starts here, and will continue into eternity!"
Many of you also might find this email from a Roman Catholic who has developed interest in Reformation Theology of great interest.
Thank you all for your prayers and for your concerns for us personally and for the Holy Spirit who now, through the preaching and teaching of His word, is brooding over many who will come to faith in Christ and over others who are growing in grace.
For those interested I wanted to update you with a few particulars in the hope that you can be praying through them with us.
1) The Monergism.com upgrade project is coming along well. The database has been built and the finished redesign of the website close to being completed. I have been going through the old site and trying to fix broken links and add a few more valuable resources. When I complete this I will hand the site over to the engineer who will create and upload it to the Web. It may take several more weeks until we are satisfied, but this is a big change that will hopefully be tremendously beneficial to everyone. When we asked you for the funds for this project you came through in an amazing four-weeks time. For this we are deeply thankful to the Lord for His faithfulness and for your generosity.
2) Many of you do not know that our current place of work is getting too small and that we have decided to move into a larger office/warehouse, starting October 1st, Lord willing. There we will conduct the business of the ministry and warehouse our entire inventory of books. This way we can separate work and home. Furthemore, we also plan on hiring one or two persons to come on board with us for our day-to-day operations. We are thankful to the Lord that through your donations and the funds generated from the bookstore we now think this is being made possible. We will need your intercession concerning the big move. As you know moves can be extremely difficult, so your prayers are especially coveted by us. We are moving out into new territory in many ways and hardships abound. Pray that my wife and I would handle the transition with a view to Christ, and He would give us wisdom to fully understand that these temporary afflictions and would have the ability to see them from His perspective.
3) We have many new creative projects for Monergism.com we would like to move into as soon as we are able to hire some folks to take some of the day-to-day work off our hands. Please pray that we hire the right people who are committed to the pupose of monergism.com and who would be a good fit for us. This person will be critical for us since we will have to work alongside them every day. We have already interviewed three people and will probably interview several more over the next month. Your prayers can make a difference here.
4) Pray that the Lord would bring more lifelong friends into our life here in the Northwest.
5) That the Reformed community needs to continue to develop a more full-orbed vision that encompasses Christ-centered doctrinal integrity, humility, piety, fervent love for brothers, evangelistic outreach, and missions of mercy. The Lord is doing major things and changing many lives through Reformation-minded local churches and theological awareness on the Internet.
May the Lord continue to richly bless you and your families
John W. Hendryx

STR and STR Global, respectively parent and sister company of HotelNewsNow.com, today posted their October performance results for the four world regions:
Americas: The Americas region ended October with a 2.8% increase in occupancy to 62.9%, a 4% gain in average daily rate to US$106.69, and a 6.9% jump in revenue per available room to US$67.14.
Asia/Pacific: The region’s occupancy fell 2% to 70%, its ADR increased 8.4% to US$150.60, and its revenue per available room was up 6.2% to US$105.41.
Europe: The European hotel industry posted positive results in year-over-year metrics when reported in U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds for October 2011, according to data compiled by STR Global.
Year-over-year October 2011 figures for Europe (U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds):
Source: STR Global
|ADR (U.S. dollars)
|ADR (British pounds)
|RevPAR (U.S. dollars)
|RevPAR (British pounds)
Middle East/Africa: The region ended the month with a 3.4% decrease in occupancy to 63.4%, a 7.3% rise in ADR to US$169.42, and a 3.6% increase in RevPAR to US$107.37.
A 4% bump in the number of Americans traveling this Thanksgiving holiday will see a similar rise in ADR for hotels in the top 25 U.S. hotel markets.
AAA last week forecast 42.5 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home from 23-27 November, an increase over the 40.9 million who made the trip during 2010. This is the first significant increase in any holiday travel this year.
Those extra travelers are unlikely to fuel a significant increase in hotel occupancy in the country’s top 25 markets, however. Committed occupancy for the five-day holiday weekend is up only 0.3%, according to TravelClick.
ADR, on the other hand, will see a gain of 4.7%, TravelClick reported.

A number of hotels in the United Kingdom have reported blackmail attempts by guests who have threatened a bad review or rating on TripAdvisor unless they get upgrades or discounted stays, reports The Telegraph.
On TripAdvisor's own message boards, scores of owners describe how guests have made attempts to extort money. A typical posting reads: “I am fed up of blackmail by guests either asking for upgrades and promising to put a good report on trip advisor (sic) or people who complain stating if we don't get our money back + compensation I will put a bad review on.”
The Telegraph quotes a TripAdvisor spokeswoman who said: “We take allegations of blackmail or threatening behavior by guests against property owners very seriously. … Not only is it strictly against our guidelines, but it may also be illegal.”
The website is being investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority following thousands of complaints from hoteliers about allegedly misleading and fraudulent reviews.
HotelNewsNow.com’s Jason Q. Freed is back from last week’s PhoCusWright conference with a bevy of intriguing new technologies and updates that could shake up your hotel-distribution strategy. Among them:
• Travelocity’s “ask and answer” feature, which allows guests to ask questions about a hotel that are then answered by a hotel rep or someone in the social community;
• Hotel Tonight, which launched in February and allows hoteliers to unload discounted inventory at the last minute;
• and perhaps most scandalous, Backbid, which works as follows: Travelers book a room and then send their confirmation number to Backbid. Hotels in the surrounding area are then able to bid, or pitch, to that traveler with value-adds and private rates. The consumer can pick his or her favorite bid and change their reservation. The new reservation is pre-paid and non-refundable.

The likelihood of the U.S. hotel industry entering into a recession in the near term was only 2.3% during October, according to e-forecasting.com’s Hotel Industry Leading indicator, or HIL. When this recession-warning gauge passes the threshold probability of 50% for more than three months, the U.S. hotel industry will enter a recession phase in its business cycle.
The indicator’s six-month growth rate, which has historically confirmed the forthcoming turning points in U.S. hotel business activity, posted a positive rate of 3.5% during October following a positive rate of 3.7% during September. This compares to a long-term annual growth rate of 3%, the same as the 30-year average annual growth rate of the industry's gross domestic product.

One of the biggest threats to children in America isn’t violence, cancer, or germs. It’s childhood obesity. Yes, some children struggle with their weight because of genetics, but most often the link can be made to sedentary behavior such as waching too much TV or playing video games all day. What can be done to get children out of this dangerous lifestyle and into healthy habits? Many say the answer is karate...

Editor's note: This story has been updated with additional response from Rep. Dukes.
The State Auditor's Office is investigating whether state Rep. Dawnna Dukes, an Austin Democrat, improperly required legislative staffers on the state payroll to help work on an annual event she sponsors through a nonprofit group that she founded, a Capitol source told The Texas Tribune on Friday.
The auditor's investigation follows complaints by members of Dukes' staff. Her former chief of staff, Michael French, asked House officials on Jan. 14 if requiring public employees to work on an event she sponsors in her district was appropriate. The next day, French said, he was blocked from logging on to his state computer account.
“I was trying to look out for two people, my co-workers and my boss, to make sure that neither of us were breaking the law,” French said. “That’s why I went to do it. To make sure that Dukes nor the staff, including myself, were breaking the law in doing what we’re doing.”
French, who began work for Dukes on Oct. 14, said she told her staff in December to work on The African American Community Heritage Festival, an annual event she sponsors.
"Of course they worked on it. Staff works on anything a member is involved with," Dukes, who has held her House seat since 1995, told the Tribune.
Employees began questioning the festival work, and French said he asked a lawyer in the House Speaker's office if the type of work was appropriate.
French said he was told the work violated state law – specifically a statute regarding abuse of office – and advised the employees to stop immediately.
“I went back to the office and said, ‘Here’s the deal,’” French said. “We were all worried about who would tell Dukes about it.”
In late December, French said Dukes emailed staff, informing them to work on nothing else but the Heritage Festival. By January, he and other staffers were told to make phone calls to potential festival sponsors and to assist with the planning.
Dukes said she is unaware of the auditor's investigation and does not believe asking her staffers to work on the festival violated any state law.
"I don’t receive a penny from it, my office does not receive a penny from it, my campaign does not receive a penny from it," Dukes said. "It is a community event."
Dukes responded extensively to French's claims in a Facebook posting Friday night.
Michael Stiernberg, spokesman for the state auditor's office, declined to comment on the matter, as is the agency's standing policy regarding investigations. French told the Tribune he is meeting with an employee from the auditor's office on Monday.
Dukes, who is unopposed in the Democratic Primary, will face a GOP challenger in the fall.
Dukes was noticeably absent during the 2015 Texas legislative session because of an Aug. 1, 2013 car accident.
The issue of House staff work rules last surfaced in 2013 when John Higgins, then chief of staff for former state Rep. Tim Kleinschmidt, R-Lexington, was indicted by a Travis County grand jury for falsifying travel reimbursements.
The Travis County district attorney's office investigated the matter after the state auditor's office alerted them to "irregularities" with travel reimbursement forms.
Higgins insisted he had done nothing wrong, saying that former employees had signed his name to the travel documents.

So the other night I read Pearl: Lost Girl of White Oak Mountain by Bill Yates, about the 1923 disappearance of three-year-old Pearl Turner from rural Arkansas. In spite of a widespread search and many false leads, she was never found. The book does a pretty good job telling the tale of her disappearance, and the author’s conclusions as to what happened are at the end.
Unfortunately I can’t add Pearl to Charley. I’m not sure I would anyway, given that the case is close to 100 years old and no one is investigating it anymore. (I mean, I did add the quite similar case of Hickle “Dick” Ware, but he disappeared fifteen years after Pearl did and I had a law enforcement agency for the case.) But I can’t because there are no photos of Pearl available. The little girl on the cover of the book isn’t her, only a child who strongly resembled her and was for awhile thought to be her.
I think Pearl just never had any pictures taken of her. She came from a sharecropper’s family and was one of several children. Portraits were probably an unaffordable luxury to them. (Sharecroppers were people who had no land of their own and farmed someone else’s land in exchange for a portion of the crop they produced. They were very poor.)
It’s not too bad a book anyway, especially if you’ve got Kindle Unlimited and can read it free with your subscription.
I haven’t been feeling very well. Right now my bipolar pendulum has got me in a depressive fit, and even knowing it’s just my brain not working right does not make it feel any better. I’m struggling to get much of anything done. Even standard activities of daily living.
This week’s Flashback Friday case is one of the Charley Project’s oldest: Melvin Charles Horst, a four-year-old boy who disappeared from the small town of Orrville in northeast Ohio two days after Christmas in 1928. Melvin had gone out with some friends to play with one of his Christmas toys. Then he said he would be walking home. Melvin never arrived home but they did find the toy in his front yard.
They actually charged five suspects with Melvin’s abduction after he disappeared, and two of them were convicted, but were released after a few months when it turned out the key witness in the case, a neighbor boy, had lied about what he’d seen. That same child (who seems to have been quite the fibber) went on to accuse his own father and another man of killing Melvin, but that story didn’t hold up either.
In the extremely unlikely event he’s still alive, Melvin would be 90 or 91 years old today.
Another Executed Today post by me: Lee “Monroe” Betterton, who murdered three of his wives. He doesn’t appear to have been a serial killer in the strict sense of the word, just someone with an ungovernable, homicidal temper. They finally fried him after the third one, and good riddance.
Just prior to the murder, Monroe’s son by one of his previous wives had married Wife #3’s daughter. I wonder if the step-siblings stayed married. Must have made for some awkward family reunions if they did.
Also on this day (from previous years): two people who were about to be mass-executed by the Nazis but were saved at the last moment by a shortage. Halina Bierenbaum‘s would-be killers at Majdanek in 1943 ran out of poison gas; for Shaike Iwensky in 1941, there wasn’t enough room in the mass graves for his body.
And here is my post about him on Executed Today. Alaska doesn’t have many executions to write about and hasn’t had any at all since it became a state sixty years ago. But Mr. Segura committed quite an ordinary, forgettable murder which I wouldn’t have found worth writing about were it not for the fact that he was from Montenegro, a tiny Balkan kingdom 5,000 miles away, and I thought that was kind of unique.
Turns out there were quite a few Montenegrins in Alaska (relatively speaking) in the early 20th century, and there are about 80,000 people of Montenegrin descent living in America today, about a quarter of them in Anchorage. Now, 80,000 Montenegrin-Americans make a pretty small ethnic minority compared to, say, Irish-Americans or Chinese-Americans, but you have to consider that the present-day nation of Montenegro has only 300,000 citizens. Consider this your historigraphical lesson for the day.
Another ET entry by me, from 1926: Tony Vettere, the last man executed in Butte, Montana. He went on a shooting spree, killing three people and wounding another, and when they were going to execute him he fought back with a pipe and a sharpened spoon and they had to gas him and haul him, more or less unconscious, to the gallows.
With more recent cases, I occasionally find traces of a person’s activities on the internet before they disappeared. One college student had a website with some pictures of her and poems, one of which she wrote just a few days before she vanished. Another person, a middle-aged man, wrote somewhere about his experiences volunteering for the Peace Corps in the 1970s. Etc.
Well, I just found an online trace of an MP who is most definitely NOT recent: Bessie Hyde, who disappeared on a rafting trip in Arizona over eighty years ago. Northern Arizona University’s digitial archive has a book of poems Bessie wrote, called Wandering Leaves. You can not just read the text but actually see the book itself, bound with string. It’s typed but the cover has the title in what is presumably Bessie’s handwriting. From page 4:
The first fall frost
In shining silver,
Comes out at night.
And soon beguiles
The fluttering trees,
The barren ground
Is carpeted with brown,
Dry, crackling leaves:
Who can no longer whisper
Soft, low songs
I always wondered why people made such a fuss about the beauty of autumn. The whole season is about death. Apparently Bessie shared my sentiments.

Som, who is known for effortlessly chic womenswear, attended a Saturday morning cooking class led by Adour Alain Ducasse pastry chef Sandro Micheli. There, the Manhattan-based designer told Women's Wear Daily about his home-baking hobby and affinity for cooking. "I watch Food Network like it's [the only thing on] TV," he said, adding, "I used to bring pies to the office. I can't eat them all myself."
The class was difficult for even the most advanced of home cooks: "Wow, he's intense," Som said of his teacher.
Within two hours, the 10 students had created madeleines, financiers, chouquettes, chocolate chip cookies, pâtés de fruit à la fraise, and absinthe-flavored marshmallows. I've long been an enthusiast of Som's designs, but had no idea that he joins the likes of Kate Winslet and Mandy Moore in his culinary affinities. Are you a fan of any other celebrities who cook?

HOPEFULLY those smashing types at Liverpool Empire will be stocking up on interval macaroons for the run of its latest touring musical.
Based on those spoof mid-‘80s sketches, Acorn Antiques: The Musical, opens on Monday night - assuming Mr Clifford can park the Wolsey close enough to Lime Street.
Victoria Wood is behind the script, music, lyrics and direction of the show, which tells of another unlikely catastrophe to strike Manchesterford and its premier curio emporium.
Miss Babs needs to keep Acorn Antiques open, but soulless chain stores, especially The Hungry Bean coffee shop, are forcing sole traders out of their premises.
It calls for desperate measures to get everything back in order before breaking for home-made sherry, but are Babs, Berta, Clifford and the redoubtable Mrs Overall up to the task?
For the purposes of musical theatre, a new character, Miss Bonnie, arrives at the shop who turns out to be the sister of both Babs and Berta, with all three transpiring as the daughters of Mrs Overall.
Ria Jones takes on the difficult task of making the part of Mrs Overall, played so memorably by Julie Walters, her own for this run, but with every aspect of the production overseen by Wood, a renowned perfectionist, it should be safe in her Marigolds.
At one point, she will have to tap dance while holding her tea tray, so let’s hope so.
Acorn Antiques: The Musical runs until Saturday, March 17.
Performances are at 7.30pm, with 2.30pm matinees on the Wednesday and Saturday.
Tickets start at £10.50 for some matinee seats, up to £29.50 for Friday and Saturday evening shows.
To book, call 0870 606 3536.

Water recycling is a process in which treated wastewater is utilized for various purposes such as toilet flushing, industrial processes, agricultural and landscape irrigation. Water recycling process offers significant financial and resource savings.
Wastewater treatment process is carried out to meet the water requirements for a planned reuse. Water recycled for landscape irrigation requires much less treatment than water recycled for drinking purposes.
Although, majorityof the water recycling projects are carried out to meet the demand for non-potable water. Large number of projects are indirectly using recycled water for potable purposes.
These types of projects comprises recharging ofground water aquifers and boostingthe surface water reservoirs with recycled water. Projects such as ground water recharge, recycled water is injected into the ground water aquifers to boost ground water supplies.For instance, a project of direct injection, situated in the U.S., has been infusing recycled water into the aquifer to avoidthe entry of salt water, thereby augmenting the ground water supply of potable water.
Browse Water Recycle and Reuse Market Report with Full TOC at : www.transparencymarketresearch.com/water-r…arket.html
Recycled water is generally used for non-potable purposes, such as public parks, landscape, agriculture, and irrigation purposes. Other applications of non-potable water comprises cooling water for oil refineries and power plants.
Industrial process water is used in various purposes such as dust control, concrete mixing, artificial lakes, paper mills, construction activities, and concrete mixing.For instance, when an industry recycles water for cooling purposes, a common form of recycled water is the water that has been recovered from sewage or municipal wastewater. Water recycling is a generic term used synonymously with water reuse and water reclamation.
Recycled water is sufficient to meet majority of the water demand, as long as it is properly treated, thereby ensuringthat the quality of water is significant for use. For using recycled water, chances of human exposure to the water are very high, thereby required more treatment.
Any water source,which is not properly treated can lead to large number of health problems from drinking or getting exposed to recycled water.
Further, by providing a dependable and a domestic water supply, water recycling could provide numerous environmental benefits. Other benefits include reducing and preventing water pollution thereby decreasing wastewater discharges.
Recycled water is also used to enhance riparian habitats and wetlands. Through an additional source of water, water recycling process can help in decreasing the diversion of water from ecosystems.
Plants, aquatic organisms and wildlife depends on water bodiesto live and give birth to their young ones. Lack of adequate flow for various purposes, could lead to lead to deterioration of water quality therebydisturbing the entire ecosystem.
Human beings who reuse water can meet their demands by using a reliable and a trusted source of recycled water, which is free from any sort of impurities.
Water recycling process has proved to be an effective and an efficient source for creating a water supply without compromising on the public health. Water reuse is a accepted all across the globe and in future it will continue to increase at a significant rate.
Although, in many parts of the U.S., the usage of recycled water is increasingin order to satisfy the needs of the environment. With advancements in water recycling technology, wastewater treatment process would soon become an important aspect for human life.

Commission on Status of Women opens in New York, but Iran, Russia and Vatican thought to be lobbying against key proposals.
Culture and religion must not be allowed to block proposals to eliminate and prevent violence against women and girls, the head of UN Women said on the eve of what is expected to be the largest global summit ever convened to discuss the issue.
A dangerous process is taking place in the UN system that threatens the universality of human rights by seeking to make them contingent on subjective ‘traditional values’ such as ‘responsible behaviour’.
A 22-year old woman spent almost an hour on a cross outside a central St. Petersburg church in protest against the prosecution of Pussy Riot, the punk band being tried over an anti-Putin performance inside Moscow's main cathedral.
GROZNY, Russia -- The bullnecked president of Chechnya emerged from afternoon prayers at the mosque and with chilling composure explained why seven young women who had been shot in the head deserved to die.
Ramzan Kadyrov said the women, whose bodies were found dumped by the roadside, had "loose morals" and were rightfully shot by male relatives in honor killings.
"If a woman runs around and if a man runs around with her, both of them are killed," Kadyrov told journalists in the capital of this Russian republic.

As I am reading the latest issue of FitnessRX, I find an article on The Globesity Cure Fighting Fat and Winning. There is a box titled Personal Responsibility. It states that the major causes of obesity include lack of exercise and diets that are high in calories, the bad fats and refined sugars.
That seems obvious, doesn't it? Yet, many people struggle with weight issues, myself included. I know that, for me, if I were not as active as I am I would be having some major issues with my weight. I still remember when I was at my heaviest and saw my reflection in the doors as I walked up to a building. I did not like what I saw.
I was attending a culinary program at the time and I, along with my classmates, was gaining weight at a fast rate. It did not help that we had access to the donuts, cookies and meals that we prepared. My wake-up call came when a fellow student commented that I eat a lot of sugar. I realized I had a problem since my classmates were noticing and they only saw a small part of what I was eating each day. Unfortunately, that was several years ago and I still eat too much sugar. Not only that, but I eat too much in general.
I often use the excuse that it is too hard to eat healthy because there are so many temptations everywhere I go. However, that is just placing the blame on someone else and not taking responsibility to do what I personally need to do to be healthy and fit.
No more excuses! So, what are things that I can do?
1.) Limit processed foods. Focus on eating foods as close to their natural state as possible. (Translate: Stop eating so much bread and eat my grains intact)
2.) Eat more meals at home. Restaurant foods are often highly processed and prepared with a lot of oil.
3.) Drink more water. I often mistake thirst for hunger.
4.) Keep the fiber intake high. This should be easy if I am eating foods close to their natural state.
5.) Limit my time sitting before my computer screen. Get up and move!
6.) Add weight training to my exercise routine
7.) Keep added sugars to no more than 5% of calories
I received the inspiration for this blog from that article, but it does not match what the author (Thomas Fahey) suggested. The last one I got this one from Jeff Novick on Dr. McDougall’s site and this is the one that I am going to have to work the hardest at achieving.
What are things that you can do to help you reach your goal?

By the time Tristan graduated high school her body wasn’t the only fully developed part of her being.
Mind thoughts and Manipulations
By the time Tristan graduated high school her body wasn’t the only fully developed part of her being. She had found that her mind was far from being wasted. Throughout college she maintained strait A’s without lifting a finger to study. Tristan learned that everything she wanted was only a minds thought or manipulation away. At twenty five Tristan has life just about handed to her. Even her Mother and her best friend Gail were coming out on top of life through Tristan’s doings. Tristan had anything she wanted and it was as easy as just convincing your mind to give it to her. Althea never questioned her daughter about why things were as they were, she was just thankful things were this way. They had a house that was paid for, two new cars in the driveway, all the latest fashion clothing and anything electronic a person could wish for. Tristan held down three jobs, none of which she ever left home to go to. Every week her paychecks were directly deposited into her account. Althea still preferred to run around the house in just a thin robe, even with her elaborate wardrobe. Gail was given everything imaginable as well and the girls were closer than ever.
Tonight was bridge night and Althea was really excited about it. She never fully understood this for she actually hated bridge. Never the less it was a time for dress up and dressing up for her was a rarely observed treat. Tristan never played the game herself, she had her own little games she liked to play on bridge night. There was a new woman who moved into the neighborhood and was asked to join their group. Angelina Anderson, a young sided forty two year old with two grown kids and a husband who she knew liked to play around. Althea enjoyed Tory’s company and the ways he liked being a tease. Althea had learned to like finding things around the house that were broken because Tory was such a great fixer, among other things. Tory was right now under her kitchen sink fixing a leak in the trap way. Althea was conveniently standing over top of him clad only in her favorite robe. Althea makes sure she standing just right that Tory’s able to see right thru the robes slit. Tory didn’t need any coaxing but he liked how she always found reasons for him to be there.
“ Well that’s fixed.” Tory states as he turns the nut one last time. “ Anything else need my attention before I leave.” He asks as he looks up from the floor. “ Well, I do have another trap that needs a good plunging.” Althea alerts as she parts her robe open. Her precious slit was primped to perfection and looking quite inviting. Tory did have his hunch and his hunch was right dead on. “ You know my wife will be here anytime now with tonight’s refreshments.” Tory alerts. “ But my missy’s all wet and horny.” Althea protests. “ You gotta fix it for me Tory, your such a good fixer.” Althea pleas as she lowers her body down toward his. Her robe then opens wide exposing her wondrous globes. As always Tory’s eyes lock onto her big and beautifully taunt nipples. Tory then reaches for his zipper and pulls his meat stick free. His cockflesh was a vision from heaven to Altheas eyes. She stretches her legs over his body and slips his knob inside her adorable folds.
Tristan watches silently from the hallway as her mother lowers her body onto her neighbors staff. She loved catching her mother into the act as much as she did forcing her mind into doing things she wasn’t aware of doing. Her mothers moans of pleasure were fast filling the air just as Tristan hears a car door close from outside. Althea was about to be caught red handed and by her announcements over her first orgasm she couldn’t have cared less about it happening. Tristan however wasn’t about to pass up a chance to keep life interesting. She therefore slips away unnoticed and intercepts Angelina outside the front door. While verbally greeting her neighbor she lets their minds intertwine and as Angelina smiles the two enter the door. Angelina finds herself extremely hungry for another woman. It was a feeling she’d tossed around once or twice when she was younger but never did she act upon it. As unexplainable as the feeling was it was strong.
Althea had just broke into her second overwhelming orgasm as Troy’s wife surprisingly so walks in on them. The look on Troy's face was precious, the look on Altheas even more so rewarding for her eyes. “ Well now.” Angelina speaks as she catches the two red handed. “ It looks like Tristan's mothers the neighborhood tart.” Althea couldn’t even respond for her third and most violent yet orgasm shot strait thru her body. “ You fuck her good Troy for the bitch is all mine in bed when your finished.” Her husbands informed. “ Hope your hungry for pussy neighbor for you a gonna be eaten a whole fucken lot of it.” Angelina exclaims. “ Don’t you go soft on her Troy, wind her up real good for me.” Her husbands next told. Althea rides him hard as his wife watches the two fuck on the floor. “ God yes, god yes.” Althea pants out mere minutes later as Angelina steps out of her shoes. “ Don’t you cum yet fucker.” Angelina warns her cheating husband as she peels down her jeans and removes her panties. Angelina stands over her husbands body and presses hers against Altheas face. “ Eat me sweetie, while my husband cums inside you.” Once he was spent Angelina told him to go home.
Tristan so loved her ability to control the minds thoughts and the manipulations she could pull off at a moments notice. She enjoyed watching her mother get her thrills whenever she had the chance to catch her in the act. Tristan's pussy was moist as could be from watching her do Troy on the floor and it was frothing after seeing her with Angelina. She could now hardly wait until tonight’s card game started. It wasn’t to begin for three hours yet however and she was at a loss of what to do. Just then the phone rang and it was Gail on the other end talking. “ Hey, I had this thought, lets get one of those Asian massages.” She suggested. “ Hell, I’ll even pay if you’ll just come along.” Tristan found the idea to be the greatest thing since soda pop. She wastes no time in picking Gail up and getting on her way. The massage she received was out of this world and what she made happen phenomenal. Little Chin had Tristan’s folds spread open with her thumbs and her oriental tongue was just going wild. In the other room Chan’s meat stick was pounding away inside Gail's forbidden oracle. Gail was inside sheer heaven as was Tristan.
“ You’ll never guess what happened to me inside.” Gail remarks as they walk outside. “ That Asian masseuse fucked me right up the ass.” Gail boasts. “ And it was fan fucken fastic.” She remarked. Tristan merely smiles within herself, knowing it was her minds thought intervention that caused it to happen. As they walked back to their car the two were confronted by four punk guys in the parking lot. “ Hey baby, wanna get laid.” One asks Gail strait too her face. Tristan stares him in the face as Gail stands still in total shock, not knowing how to respond. “ How about you lady, wanna fuck.” He next asks Tristan directly. Tristan smiles brightly, then answers the question. “ Sorry fella, your not my type.” She tells him. “ I promise you, I’d fuck you on the spot if you were.” She adds boldly. “ You look a little fagotty to me.” “ Come on dudes, these bitches ain’t our type anyway.” The dude tells his boys.
“ I feel like sucken a cock anyway.”
The ladies all gathered for the bridge game. Lisa and Linda were both introduced to Angelina then they all sat to play. Tristan was busy serving refreshments as they all settled in to play. “ I simply love your skirt, Lisa.” Angelina compliments. “ I can just see my husbands cock rising over checking out your body.” She adds. “ So your husbands a whore, is he.” Lisa elaborates. “ Very much so, in fact he’s a pig as well.” Angelina answers. “ My husbands a pig too.” Linda chimes in with a hearty laugh. “ In fact, the only good thing about him is his cock.” She shares. “ Sounds to me like its true confession night, ladies.” Tristan chirps in to set the mood for an interesting test of her mind thoughts. “ I’ll start.” She bravely blurts out next as she looks in Lisa’s direction. “ I just love those button boobs of yours.” She compliments. “ I’d rather have Angelina's pair.” Lisa quickly adds. “ Hey, I got an idea, lets all play topless tonight.” Linda blurts out as she wonders where that thought even came from. “ Easy for you to say Linda, You have a real rack to show off.” Lisa promptly adds. They all then laugh and agree to the whole idea.
Shortly after the cards were dealt every nipple at the table was rock hard. Tristan couldn’t help but stir the nest even further. “ Mother, your nipples look really delicious tonight, don’t you think so, Linda.” Tristan remarks, leaving Linda no out but to answer. “ They are remarkable, I’ll say.” Linda elates. “ There’s something very wrong here.” Angelina suddenly readily chirps in, causing all eyes to go in her direction. “ Tristan's not showing off her gifted rack.” She alerts. Everyone begins to laugh heartily. Tristan can only smile as she looses her shirt and drops her bra. Everyone gasps over how taunt and firm she is. “ Now those babies are perfect.” Lisa remarks. Tristan pushes the envelope one step further yet and steps out of her jeans as well, thus leaving herself clad only in a very skimpy thong. “ We can have this girls.” Linda blurts out. “ everyone strip now.” She announced as she giggles, then peels off her skirt. “ This is going to be one fine bridge night.” Angelina blurts out as she strips as well. Tristan's mother followed next followed by Lisa. “ Lisa, your body looks amazing.” She’s complimented. “ My husband doesn’t think so, he seldom touches me.” Lisa shares. “ I’ll touch you Lisa.” Angelina offers. “ Hell I’ll happily touch you all over.” Before the group could say another word, Angelina was groping Lisa seductively and Lisa was returning the favor.
Althea didn’t waste any time including herself and Linda in this new found game. Linda doesn’t waste time dropping to the floor and searching out Altheas folds as well. The other two not choosing to be out done join right in and Tristan smirks over the sex party she had just created. In fact, watching all these horny women go at each other made her incredibly wet herself. Yet she refrains from joining in the party. Lisa was the first of the women to moan outwardly. She finds Angelina's tongue to feel absolutely exquisite. Soon after Lisa has Angelina moaning as well. Linda had Althea singing her praise in no time flat as her talented tongue prevailed. All in all this evenings card game was turning out to be an incredible night. After their exhausting adventures the girls changed partners. Angelina fondles Linda while Linda returns her gesture. “ This is simply great.” Linda gasps out. Althea was too busy pleasing Lisa’s breasts to hear a thing. “ Honey if you’re a good enough pussy lapper, I’ll get my husband to fuck you.” Angelina blurts. “ I’d rather do a boy if I have a choice.” Linda remarks. “ You know any.” She pants out as her orgasms build up inside. “ I know somebody, my stepson.” Lisa remarks. “ He’s young and built too.” She adds.
The girls soon settle down to their card game. All the while they made sexual remarks back and forth to each other. One of them had touched on an orgy of sorts and the subject seemed to have stuck there for a long while. Tristan mentions they should use guys they don’t know instead of ones they did. That way they could let their inhabitations truly fly. Just how to go about it was to become the tougher question for the group to find the answers to. Tristan had soon convinced their minds that the younger the better was the best concept of them all. Before the game was over everyone was in full agreement. The following morning Lisa was up bright an early putting her part of the plan in motion. After she sees her husband off to work she changes her clothes into something a little more seductive looking. Lisa studies her look briefly in the mirror before beginning her provocative plot. A few blocks away Angelina was fingering her wetness as she laid in bed about to begin her day. Her husband Troy was already up and on the move. Linda’s mind was reeling with thoughts as she still lays in her bed and Althea was up seeing to Tristan's morning needs.
Around eight o'clock Corry comes downstairs with his morning hard-on in tow. Lisa had seen him in this condition many times in the past but this time was going to be very different. Corry’s eyes bulge out as he sees his stepmothers bare breasts thru the sheer baby doll to she was hardly clad in. His proud standing member even twitches with excitement. “ Good morning Corry, I’ll get your coffee.” She announces as he studies her swollen nipples. When she rises up from her chair ,Corry sees her barely clad ass and the tiny thong that covered so very. His cock throbs as her hard breast brushes his cheek serving the coffee. “ Corry, I need a big, big favor this morning.” Lisa confesses. “ Would you jack off on me. please.” Well Corry about faints, right there and then. “ Your kidding, right.” Corry asks strait forth. “ This is some sort of joke, right.” He concludes out loud. “ Its no joke young man and your father needs to never find out either.” Lisa proclaims as she grasps hold of his lump. “ After all, I’m not about to tell him anything. Corry was at a complete loss for words as his zipper came down next. Lisa doesn’t hesitate to take his mast in hand the second its freed up. “ But, but.” Corry began to speak in objection. “ Oh you want my butt too, that’s great baby, sure you can do my butt, right after you jack off for me.” His stepmother proclaims happily.
The younger the better, this thought kept growing inside Linda’s mind. Her daughters boyfriends name kept surfacing each time she had the thought cross. Every time she pictured her daughters boyfriend standing before her, she begins to feel really kinky about her whole idea. Just how to get around being caught by her daughter was to be the trickiest part of all. After all, Tina would be devastated if she knew her mothers mind. Tina was already up and at em, so to speak. She was on the phone talking her boyfriend Sid. They were discussing the who’s who in school and who was cool and who was not. Linda walks into the kitchen and does her best to eves drop on their conversation. Tina asks if he’s coming over later and he tells her he cant cause he didn’t have a ride. Linda therefore offers to pick him up and Tina goes just about wild. “ Mom, your simply the greatest.” She happily compliments. “ I’ll go along for the ride.” She adds afterward. Not quite how Linda wanted it to work out but what could she do. Just as they were about to leave however the phone rings and its Clarisse, Tina’s best friend. Tina motions her mother go leave without her and talks to her friend instead.
Linda smiles as she sits in her car. She adjusts her skirt to reveal as much leg as possible then drives the ten miles to pick up Sid. Sidney's eyes pop as he sits in the car and sees Linda’s exposed thighs right before him. He turns pure red as they leave his driveway, yet can’t take his eyes away. Linda let him study the view for a long time before speaking. “ You like what you see there, Sidney.” She teased. Sid could barely answer back to her, he was so embarrassed being caught. “ Don’t be shy Sidney, you can touch them if you like.” Linda offers. Sidney does just as she wishes and his little lump expands instantly. “ Wow, their really smooth Mrs. Langley.” Sidney gulps. “ Go ahead Sidney, reach inside them.” Linda next coaxes him. The boy listens intently as she pulls up to a traffic light and stops briefly. Sidney accidentally touches her folds and Linda gasps. “ I’m sorry Mrs. Langley.” Sidney proclaims. “ Oh no sweetie, don’t apologize, go ahead and stick that lovely finger deep inside.”
Linda wasn’t thru with him yet, she was just letting him get his fingers wet for now. The whole time Sid was upstairs with Tina his thoughts were downstairs with her mother. Linda was wetter than ever in anticipation of feeling his youthful cock inside her tingling pussy walls. She was all out to entice him even further into her web. Suddenly there was a knock on her front door and Tina darts down the steeps to answer. Clarisse was there along with her boyfriend Barry. Now Clarisse, she had a fully blossomed body for a thirteen year old and her boyfriend was almost old enough to drive. It wasn’t only a car he wanted to drive however. Barry was always trying to get into Clarisse’s pants but she wasn’t about to let him. Linda was well informed over the subject as her daughter told her many a story about the two. “ Hmmm.” She thought to herself. “ Maybe I could bang em both.” Later in the morning she got her chance to act on just that.
Barry came downstairs without Clarisse to use the bathroom. His bulge was quite noticeable indeed as he was passing by. “ Nice bulge, Barry, I’ll bet your pretty frustrated by now.” Linda blurts out intentionally. Barry was stunned and froze in his tracts. “ Take it out and I’ll fix it for you.” Linda then offers. “ Party me, Mrs. Langley.” He answers. “ You want your cock sucked or not asshole.” She swiftly clarifies and before he could answer her hands on his crotch. “ Sure you do.” She outright tells him. “ What boy your age doesn’t.” She adds as she heads for the floor. Again before he can respond his cocks taken to mouth. “ Do you like it Barry.” Linda momentarily teases. “ Does your girlfriend do this for you.” Of course Clarisse never had and somehow Linda already knew. Barry’s legs were soon quivering as Linda feasted hungrily on his youthful extension. Barry’s volcano soon explodes and he is truly amazed. “ Mrs. Langley, your the greatest.” He pants as his body shakes. “ Just don’t tell my daughter.” Linda makes him promise. “ You go and get recovered and I’ll fuck you later if you like.” Barry’s informed.
Back upstairs Barry is mesmerized. He tries hard not to concentrate on Linda’s offer but his mind simply doesn’t cooperate with him. Clarisse could almost tell he was hiding something as she asks what was wrong. Barry of course wasn’t about to admit a thing too her. Sidney was a little preoccupied himself and he wasn’t getting his usual video game scores. Tina was being her usual tease as he played, causing his lump to rise. Even Barry could notice the impact she was having on him. “ You aught to get that taken care of Sid.” Barry teases. “ Not me.” Tina exclaims. “ I ain’t touching it.” She readily admits as her face turns red. Tina often thought about sex but acting on it, no way. Sid suddenly quits playing the game stating he needs the bathroom and leaves. He has to pee and do so relatively quickly and darts down the stairs.
Linda smiles as she sees Sid heading for the bathroom, she knew he would lock the door behind himself and she also knew the lock was broken as well. Sidney doesn’t even notice her as he passes by for his mind was only on one thing period and he can’t wait to begin. A few moments later Linda pops the door open just in time for she catches him with dick in hand pumping it for all he’s worth. Linda goes unnoticed as she watches his hand stroke his small cock ever so hard trying to make it explode quickly. “ I have a better way to play with that Sidney.” She finally states, alerting him to her presents. Sidney stops cold in his tracks as she readily grins over his innocent yet guilty look. “ Don’t stop on my account, sweetie.” She tells him. “ Unless of course you’ll let me take over.” She teases. Instead of waiting for his response she reached out and took over his chore. “ Here let me.” He’s told. Sidney had choice of little less. Before he knows it, Linda’s on her knees with his mass in between her hot lips. Sidney uncontrollably explodes.
The seeds Tristan planted within the bridge club were well rooted as a knock came upon her front door. As she answers she finds two students selling candy for their school. Tristan invites them in and entertains their minds as her mother showers. Althea was titillated to hear she had two teens waiting in the foyer as she showered. Tristan announces she has to leave to her mother and excuses herself from the boys. The two waited patiently for Althea to enter and their eyes feast over her sensual body as she finally appears in front of them. “ Wow lady, you sure look fine.” The oldest of the two blurts out unexpectedly. “ Well aren’t you the cutest little flirt.” Althea quickly responds. “ What's your name.” She then asks. “ My names Matt and were selling candy for our school.” He answers as he studies her still damp body. Altheas nipples were the perkiest he’d ever seen on a woman before. It was as they were calling out to him. “ We’re having a contest at school and the one who sells the most wins.” The other youth announces. “ So what are you willing to do for me if I purchase your treats.” Althea asks outright. “ Will you show me your cocks.” She boldly asks. “ If you do, I’ll take all you have.” She promises the two. Matt couldn’t believe his luck, let alone what he thought he just heard. “ Well, is it a deal or not.” Althea blurts.
“ Hell yeah, it’s a deal, lady.” Matt assures her as he quickly unzips and exposes himself before she changes her mind. His friend reluctantly follows his leed. “ Ever see a naked lady before.” Althea asks swiftly as she drops her rope. “ Ever get sucked off by one.” She inquired. “ If not, its your lucky day.” She tells the two. A mere second later and she has a cock in each hand. The two youths were both frozen and mesmerized right in their tracks as she began to suck each one of them. “ Dam lady, your one fine bitch.” Matt compliments as his cocks tip pours it load. His friend cums next and his cock wilts directly after. “ Matt, I’m so happy to see that your still hard, care to fuck me.” Althea blurts. “ Hell yeah lady, just spread em.” Matt declares with exuberance. His friend feeling useless then leaves.
“ Hey lady, you want it here or you gotta bed somewhere.” Matt asks as he pulls his pants free and tosses them aside. “ I do have a bed but right here’s fine.” Althea assures him. “ I don’t want you to cool off any.” She teased. “ Shit lady, you everything a guy dreams of.” She’s then told. “ Sweetie, you can tell your friends about us.” Althea instructs as she bends forth toward the floor grabbing her ankles. “ Not unless you don’t want anymore.” She reassures. “ You keep us a secret and you can have me any time you wish to.” Matt’s alerted as he steps behind her with his swollen cock in hand. Althea has had many a cock pointed at her entrance but never one filled with such the energy as Matt's has to offer. Althea moans delightfully as he enters and purrs as he continually pounds away at her from behind. Matt doesn’t even ask after he cums hard inside her, he just thrusts his cock inside her ass. Althea found herself thoroughly fucked when he finished with her and she felt jubilant. Althea buys him out of candy as promised and pleas to see him tomorrow.
Troy was pounding away, once again fucking his wife Angelina's eyes out. It was the third strait time today he hungrily took her fine body. Was he just in heat or worried he might loose her after being caught with Althea. A little of both one might say. Whichever reason was the furthest thing from Angelina’s mind at this moment of time. “ Oh yeah, do it baby, rock my fucken world.” Angelina pleas as yet another wild orgasm rips thru her very soul. It was all she could do to stand bent over without falling forward. Each time his cock ventured forward her whole body quivered violently. “ Oh yes, do it baby, fuck your momma.” Angelina squeals. All Troy could do was smile. He could still do it, fuck another woman, come home and fuck his wife as well. He had the best of both worlds and a wife who allowed it all. He could tell by the way she was panting he was in the clear or at least for the time being. Once Troy dismounted his wife, Angelina laid quietly for the longest time. Her mind was simply reeling over the fucken she’d just received. Even still she knew the first chance she got she would bail in search of a bridge night fantasy maker. Just who, what age and which color were all she would worry about.
Troy finally falls asleep and Angelina slips out the door. The first thing on her mind was a couple of drinks at the closest bar. Inside she runs right into Tristan and she’s just all aglow. The two talked for the longest time before a man walked up to the table they were at. He immediately hits on Angelina and she shows no interest toward him. Tristan bends toward Angelina and whispers in her ear. “ Bet I can make him eat your pussy where you sit Angelina.” Her comment makes her slightly blush and after a long moment Angelina gives her a doubtful response. “ Ten bucks and I’ll have him on his knees momentarily.” Tristan then speaks out loud. “ Girl, you got your self a bet.” Angelina agrees and before she knows it the guys crawling under the table. “ Oh my god, he’s gonna do it, he’s really gonna eat me right here.” Angelina squeals. “ So get em spread girlfriend.” Tristan exclaims as she wears a big sheepish grin. “ Let him lick away.” The stranger peels her panties aside and his tongue touches her folds just as the waitress brings their order. Angelina can’t help but let loose of a gasp she couldn’t hold inside. “ Wow, is the food here that great.” The waitress asks, hearing Angelina’s intensity. “ Honey, if you only knew.” Angelina manages to blurt.
“ Do you like your treat.” Tristan asks after the waitress leaves. “ My god, his tongues great Tristan.” Angelina pants after her orgasm finishes. “ How’d you ever get him to do it.” She dares to ask as the man crawls out from the table and simply leaves. “ That’s my little secret Angelina.” Tristan answers. “ Wanna see more of my talent.” she teased. “ You see those two lovers over in the corner.” Tristan asks. “ Yes, I see them. So.” Angelina answers. “ Well, out of nowhere, they’re gonna join us like their old friends of ours.” Tristan explains. “ After they sit down, his skinny friend there is gonna drop under this table and suck him off.” She explains further. “ You’ll know when their finished because that same girls gonna eat your cunt next.” She proclaims. “ After she eats you, he’s gonna feed you his cock, right in front of everyone here, then he’ll fuck you right across this table before everybody.” Angelina's mouth drops wide open. “ I don’t believe a word of this.” Angelina protests. “ Its all just simply to impossible.”
Impossible as it all sounded Angelina was amazed to watch these two young lovers suddenly arise from their chairs and look in her direction. “ You gotta be shiten me.” She gasps. “ This ain’t happening.” She expresses to Tristan as the two walk in their direction and casually sit down as though these two were their long lost friends. “ Nice tits, I’d like to fuck them some time.” Jason compliments Angelina. “ They sure look tasty.” Julia shares. “ Nice nipples also.” She readily adds. “ Just looking at them makes my cock hard.” Jason announces. “ Oh goodie, your all hard, yippee! ” Julia proclaims as she slips out of her seat and disappears. Angelina almost goes into shock as she hears his zipper go down. She can’t help but peek under the table too make sure. “ Care to help honey, your more than welcome, you know.” Julia whispers then gets back to her business at hand. Jason tries his best to carry on a conversation as Julia hungrily sucks his boiling mast.
“ Are your tits real or silicones.” He dares ask. “ either way, they sure are nice.” Jason inquires as he tries to breath normally. “ They’re very real Jason, believe me.” Angelina expresses as the man wiggles in his chair. She then unbuttons the next button in line on her blouse to further please his eyes. Tristan was enjoying her interventions the whole time they were transpiring. Angelina did all she could to further expose her breasts, short of removing her bra for her new admirer. Jason suddenly goes tense right before Angelina’s eyes. He moans once and he moans again As his lover takes his milky white seed. Julia was filled with glee over her indulgence from beneath the table. After she finishes her cock feast she turns toward Angelina’s shapely legs and gently spreads them open. Angelina feels her panties slowly slip aside and gasps over the girls first kiss against her folds. Julia hungered over Angelina's wet folds and there was no denying her fill. The look on Angelina's face was blissful and she was fully caught up in the moment. Julia’s hunger grew to one of a sex starved lesbian after Angelina's first flowing orgasm. It was a hard kept impossibility for Angelina to keep her voice down during her multiple orgasms and this was driving Jason wild.
“ Hurry up and finish, I want to pound her over the table.” Jason tells his lover as her peeks beneath the table. Angelina was fast becoming a believer in Tristan's premonitions as Jason suddenly stands, bearing his hard mass as he does so. Angelina’s mouth drops open and she’s momentarily stunned over his sweet size. “ My god your hung.” Angelina exclaims. “ Are you old enough to have a weapon like that.” She asks. “ Hell lady, I’m twenty, so suck it already.” She told. “ Boy is he a bold one, Tristan.” Angelina declares. “ Sweetie, he’s got his cock hanging in view of the whole bar, of course he’s bold.” Tristan answers. “ So suck him already, or I will.” Angelina's informed. Julia begins to laugh as she also coaxes Angelina along. “ It’s ok lady, you won’t choke on it if your careful.” She teases. “ Go ahead, suck him.” She encourages. Angelina then bends forward and takes his youthful muscle to mouth. Within minutes Julia was cheering Angelina on. “ That’s it lady, suck him good.” She's told. “ Make my boyfriend squeal.” Julia was getting quite excited watching Angelina get her boyfriend off. “ Hurry, hurry, make em cum then fuck em. She praised.
Every eye in the bar was looking their way as Angelina's lips sucked Jason’s cock dry. He was still standing proud as she finished. “ Way to go lady, now fuck em.” Julia announced. Every male in the bar by now was hard and wishing Angelina was with them. After a long moments rest she stands reaching up inside her skirt. After a short search she pulls her panties free and leans over the table parting her legs slightly open. “ Is this what you’ve waited for Jason.” She asked. “ Good, then do me baby.” She offers. Julia stands as well and holds Angelina's skirt up and out of the way. “ My god what a tight ass you have Angelina.” She compliments. “ Jason, ya just gotta fuck her ass, it looks so sweet.” Julia insists. “ Not now, another time.” Jason assures as he lays his hard knob against her wetness. One foul sweep later his cocks then buried inside. Angelina gasps out loud as he fills her. Tristan was simply all a glow over mind bending feat as this youth punished the insides of Angelina's womb. She was the only one in the bar who knew anything at all here was wrong.
Jason pumped and pumped his hardness inside those wet folds repeatedly until violent orgasms began to erupt inside the walls. Angelina's folds even sopping wet held firmly against his throbbing post. Her moans filling the bar as he happily pleased her. Julia fondles her breasts as her boyfriend continues to punish her. “ Yes, oh god yes, fuck me.” Angelina pleas. “ Fuck me like I’m your prisoner of love.” She plead. For a solid twenty minutes his cock invades her pussy before any sign of precum enters the picture. Angelina felt like a ravished whore and she was loving every moment of it. Tristan then became evilly excited as well. “ That’s it Jason, fuck her mind out, fuck her till she screams.” She tells him. Fuck her mind out, then cum in your lovers face.” She demands. Angelina felt like she was going to pass out from pleasure as her multiple orgasms rushed in one after the other. Suddenly and without warning Jason pulls his mast free just as his love juice boils. It was a thing of beauty for Tristan to watch his spent cum sail thru the air covering its mass over his lovers unsuspecting face.
Angelina slowly dresses for another eventful Bridge night party. Julia and Jason both agreed to attend. Down the street Althea was anticipating her night ahead with Matt and Linda over the next block had thoughts about Sid and Barry both. Lisa, running a little late comes out of her shower dreaming of another eventful fucken from her stepson Corry as well. After this day, the term Bridge Night would take on a totally new meaning in this neighborhood. Tristan was so elated over her feat she invited Gail to attend as well. Of all the minds Tristan was able to control, her friend Gail's was her favorite one. Troy couldn’t understand why Angelina was dressing up so well for a simple bridge game. High heels, fishnets and a tight fitting shirt were a little much for him to accept. Angelina however convinces him it was simply dress up night with the girls. The ladies all entered thru the front door and the guys thru the back. After all they didn’t want the whole neighborhood to notice anything what so ever. The ladies all complimented Angelina on her provocative outfit. As they were introduced to Julia and Jason they understood why she chose such an inviting look. Linda looked all around for Barry but was only able to find Sid. At least she stood the chance of having the youngest lover there. Everyone’s mouth dropped open when they realized Lisa had included Corry. Which of course made her the kinkiest person there.
Julia was the first one to get the real party started as she walked up before Angelina and reached up under her skirt. “ I hope your.” She spoke with a pause. “ yes your not, you sweet bitch, I just love you.” She states as her fingers fondle a bared entrance. The younger boys there were about to receive a real treat as Julia squats to the floor and seeks out Angelina's folds with her tongue. Jason walks up and drops his pants making him the first semi nude male there. Angelina clasps the back of Julia’s head with her left hand and presses her closer. Angelina then grasps Jason’s rod with her right. “ Yes lover, that’s it, eat me.” She tells Julia as she begins to jack Jason’s rod. “ Oh yeah darling, that’s it, make me cum.” Angelina pleas as she pants for breath, he right hand now squeezing Jason’s sweet muscle ever so hard. “ Eat me Corry, eat my pussy.” Lisa whispers as the two watch the show. Over hearing the two, Matt opens Altheas robe and lets it fully fall to the floor as he unzips his pants before all. He then steps back and admires her nakedness. “ If your hungry honey you can eat me.” Althea offers. Matt removes his pants and escorts her to the couch. Again Lisa offers herself to Corry and he denies her need. “ I’d rather fuck her while she eats your friend.” He tells his horny stepmother. Lisa felt offended over his comment but doesn’t react toward it. “ Go ahead dude, take it out and do her.” Jason tells the youth. “ Fuck her for me but make her squeal.” Meanwhile Linda reaches down Sidney's pants and fondles his limp rod. About this time Tristan comes thru the front door with her friend Gail and they catch them all cold.
“ Hey guys, is this a private party or can anyone join.” Gail exclaims as they enter. Both girls were dressed in matching tiny black skirts and cleavage revealing tops. “ We came to play waitress mom.” Tristan announces proudly. “ Looks like the party started without us Tristan.” Gail observed as she spies the center show with Julia and Angelina. “ Oh, that’s Julia, she a sweetheart, and that’s her fiancé Jason.” Tristan introduces. “ I hope she does you tonight, her tongues like silk.” Tristan adds. “ Come on son, get over here and take her.” Jason encourages as though the two never entered. “ Go ahead Corry, do her from behind.” His stepmother encourages as well. In addition she gives him a little nudge forward. Corry walks up behind Julia and he’s shaking inside. Lisa follows behind him and undoes his pants. His pride was rock hard and ready however he was somewhat ashamed to be here. Angelina's pussy was frothing over Julia’s lovemaking however she pushes her face aside. Before the boy could react she hit her knees and took his fine piece of youthful cockflesh to her lips. Corry was stuck there like a magnet as she pleasured him completely. “ You feel better now honey.” Angelina inquires. “ Not so frightened now.” She asks. “ Did your Aunt Angelina get you all hot and bothered now.” She questions. “ Julia, get on your knees and let him take you like a dog.” She then insisted.
Angelina pulls Julia's frilly shirt up and over her tiny ass. “ Here you go sweetie, put it right in here.” Angelina offers as Corry calmed down somewhat. “ Don’t let us scare you any at all, we’re just a bunch of horny old women.” She explained. Julia's pussy felt superb to him the very moment his cocks head ducks inside. “ There ya go, now fuck away till she can take no more. He’s finally explained. Lisa felt somewhat left out until Jason's muscle touched her thigh. “ Like to try my cock on for size lady.” He offers. “ I’d like that very much sweetie, your hung even better than husband.” He’s instantly informed. “ How ya want it baby.” She asks. “ Backed up against the wall.” She’s informed. Hand in hand they walk past Altheas moaning body over toward the wall.
Jason peels down Lisa's tight jeans, then strips off her silky panties. After a little tongue attention toward her sweet folds he rises up to unfasten her blouse and bra. Lisa was now the second fully naked woman in the room. She was now the second most beautiful body there since Tristan arrived. Tristan and Gail both watch as Jason lifts Lisa's left leg up behind her head and locks it in behind her neck for a perfect attack position. Tristan didn’t even know she was such a contortionist and neither did she until now for that matter. Corry couldn’t help but watch his stepmother get pounded as he was pointed right toward her. Let alone not hear her lustful moans as they fill the room. Lisa finds Jason's love rod to feel extremely superb as he pounds it into her over and over again. “ Corry go fuck her in the ass.” Angelina next temps the youth. “ She’ll love ya for it.” He’s promised. Corry Keeps his mind implanted on the project at hand as he hears Julia begin to moan. Her orgasm was slight but it was one just the same and his own seed joins her.
Linda finally got Sid's small gift to harden and she peels down his pants to see it. “ Yes, still as small as the other day.” Was her first thought that came to mind. “ How I wish Barry had shown instead.” Was her second one. Lisa was in a world of her own soaring thru multiple orgasms as Linda strokes Sidney's cock more aggressively, hoping to no avail it would grow somehow larger. Tristan’s mind momentarily visited Corry’s before he stepped up behind Lisa’s trembling body. “ Is this what you really want mother.” He’d asked a mere second before piercing her anal opening and hearing her gasp a quite clearly understood. “Yes.” That the whole room couldn’t help but hear. Linda reacts by swallowing Sid’s member whole and sucking it dry. As she stands disappointed she sees Barry standing in the opened doorway. “ You came.” She says with glee. “ You came, thank god, I’m so horny I could just die.” Linda squeals. “ Quick, get it out, fuck me, now.” She blithers.
Angelina was seated in the corner easy chair her pussy dangling over its edge. Jason's meat stick was hard at work while Julia straddled the arms of the chair feeding Angelina her pussy. Altheas voice was now echoing throughout the room as her orgasms overflowed heavily. Linda moans out heavily as Barry sinks his cock in hard and deep. Lisa's stepsons cock was thrilling her body to her very core. Four female voices blended in unison as they all came one by one, then it was time for their game to begin. The four women gave their guys a well needed rest and they sat down to play. Tristan and Gail served refreshments topless as sort of a gag. “ You know, one night ya all ought a play strip poker and name something erotic the loser has to do.” Tristan expressed as she served the ladies coffee. “ I know.” Lisa adds. “ Lets all start a breakfast club.” She then suggests. “ That would be cool.” Linda agrees. “ Better yet.” Tristan chimes in. “ A coffee house.” She expresses. “ And I’m talking, buy it outright and run it as well.”

Ready For My Best Shot
Marcia (Patricia Neal) is all smiles in this dank jailhouse but for some reason, she looks at a drunk prisoner Lonesome Rhodes (Andy Griffith), both moved and saddened. I watched this movie cold and for the first time. This movie begins with bucolic acoustic guitar music, the first scene acted out in this room. Misinterpreting Elia Kazan’s reputation as a theatre director and ‘Budd Schulberg’ meaning this movie was probably based on a play. It would also be a challenge to the filmmakers to create cinema in such theatre-like spaces. Mix those Rube Goldberg tangents with how I liked the way these characters are in this scene, I was assuming that this movie’s gonna stay put in this room and in this small town. But nooooo…..
Kazan was the closest thing North America ever had to a Roberto Rossellini, or is he?
This is what I imagine every pre-1967 B-movie would feel like.
Then he became a sellout douche. The best comparison I can come up with for this director and movie is Richard Brooks’ Elmer Gantry. This movie’s also about the advent of television and celebrity politics, with the TV set within the frame.
But here is my best shot, even if it doesn’t encapsulate the film. None of my best shots yet are like that. It’s probably yours too, which makes it boring, but I hope my write-up seems more ‘original.’
I call this the Reverse Norma Desmond Shot. Marcia reminds me of Norma’s insane, destructive impulses. A member of Rhodes’ sound crew blurted out how he would like America to see what the real Lonesome Rhodes is really like, or more correctly, has become. This little wish turns into a sinister idea that possesses her, thus the obvious but probably one of the most effective noir-like close-ups ever put to film. There’s also a little of Joe Gillis in her in wanting to unmask the truth to and about a delusional person, yet what she does to him is more cruel that what Joe says to Norma in person. She destroys him, and in doing so has to both lament and defend that rash decision.

Allen & Overy's London US law group has completed its first M&A transaction
A team led by partner Thomas Werlen advised SIIF Energies, a subsidiary of Electricité de France Group (EdF), on its acquisition of wind energy company EnXco Group. A&O expanded its US group to include M&A last year when it hired M&A partner Dan Cunningham from Cravath Swaine & Moore and capital markets partner Werlen from Davis Polk & Wardwell. "EdF said it would only give us the deal if we could manage it out of the London office. The fact that we won puts us in a good position for work on the forthcoming privatisation," Werlen said.

Truly, this is a film – no, a movie – that dies kicking.
It is not good, but I adored The Boyf’s take: “I’ll take an ambitious failure over a timid success any day.” So true.
There are scenes, I should point out, that are very powerful. There are songs that I loved. It is undeniably a life experience. It is one of the most stylish movies I’ve ever seen. I would not rush to watch it a second time but I would absolutely watch someone else watch it.
I suspect this is how people felt when they walked out of “Phantom of the Paradise” all those years ago.
Today I braved the cold to go spend a few minutes taking pictures downtown. There’s a tall parking garage (six stories) behind the American Tobacco campus that made a pretty decent spot for some pictures. My batteries died about five minutes in but thanks to my new camera using AA’s instead of some ridiculous, proprietary battery, I ran to the gas station and back and kept going. It was unbelievably cold. As katastrophes put it last night, the temperature was “negative ass.” The sky was exceptional, though.
Before this I went to Circuit City to see if they were really trying to sell me something and found that it was a bit bullshit as clearances go: videogames with a $20 price tag half-covered by a newer $60 price tag that was, in turn, half covered by a 10% or 20% discount sticker? No thanks. I don’t need to pay $54 for a videogame I can buy for $19.99 across the street at Target. Lots of people were milling around but not very many were buying. I texted The Boyf to tell him I would bet a nickel that the price was better yesterday on almost everything I looked at.
Between the two I stopped in to try Piper’s Deli after reading about it on a local foodie blog. Very, very yummy. While I was there the bartender greeted two other patrons by name as they walked in. It’s a place that knows its people, and that’s awesome. I want to go back and try their vegetarian burger; the turkey burger was delightful. I didn’t notice until too late that the special of the day was a vegetarian lasagna.
Friday night, 7:30, The Carolina Theatre of Durham: John Carpenter’s The Thing. Who‘s super-stoked? I am super-stoked. I also used this as a way to experiment with creating events on Facebook, so if you know me on there and you want to go, let me know and I will send you an invitation. There is, of course, an awesome trailer on YouTube:
I think it might actually kill me to wait two days.
In other news, I bought a new camera with a gift card from the holidays: Fujifilm S2000HD. I’ve been playing with it a bit and am totally in love. Those are just random shots taken without having yet read the manual so that I can see how they turn out with zero education.
After having read this story when it was linked from Unfogged earlier this week I have been unable to stop talking about the idea of real-life superheroes. Back in the day, Aaron used to run a group story project thing and in it were a few “normal guy superheroes.” Eventually, if I recall correctly, those of us who wrote some of them threw in the concept of there being a sort of combination farm league and trade union made up of all the Normal Guy Superheroes – Flash Gordon, for instance, or Ash from the Evil Dead movies.
At any rate, the more I talk about this idea that real people decide to put on a costume and go bust crackhouses or whatever – becoming, as I said to The Boyf, the middle ground between the saying “be the change you want to see in the world” and Katmandu’s fabulous “be the trouble you want to see in the world” t-shirt – the more obsessed I become with what Durham’s local superhero would be like if we had one.
The way I figure, she or he would pretty much have to go by the monicker “The Bull’s-Eye.” Given our architecture and the general Faded Glory/Urban Decay prom theme we have going downtown, she or he would need to be one of the trench-coated, goggled, fedora-wearing types. The calling card would be the obvious emblem of a bull’s-eye. They would need to be more a criminologist than a ruffian. Durham would happily play home to a Batman or a Golden Age Sandman but not so much a Superman or The Flash. They would be the detective type, collecting evidence and leaving bundled baddies on the steps of the police station.
Now that I think about it, that actually happens in The Dark Knight, doesn’t it? See, that’s what I’m talking about.
Such trains of thought naturally lead me to wonder what would result if this were to happen in the World of Darkness version of the Triangle inhabited by more than one of my group’s tabletop games over the years. Were Withrow to encounter the Bull’s-Eye running around Durham he would be so horribly miffed. What the hell does some crazy mortal mean, claiming to be a superhero? Withrow is supposed to be the brooding superhero, don’t they know that? It would be amusing.
Thus, I may have found the topic for next – I mean, this – year’s NaNoWriMo or, even better, this year’s Script Frenzy.

A late-night conversation.
Sometimes, late at night, their eyes smarting from the glare of monitors and television screens, they would sit on the floor, back-to-back, the ever-present chain resting silently between their wrists. Raito would note each singular knob of L's long spine arched against his back and wonder why he didn't simply get up and collapse in the bed, less than a chain's length away.
"Who are you," he would whisper, in accompaniment to the static, "and what are you? You know everything about me, yet I know nothing about you."
L never responded, too occupied in the network of his own incomprehensible thoughts. Of course, it would never occur to him to move from the floor.
"It isn't fair. There is no reciprocity. We are not equals. You are a self-appointed judge, and I am forced to prove myself innocent."
The silence is implacable, Raito would think, digging his feet into the carpet. His face would twist into a scowl, and he would be surprised to find how easily his mouth contorts into an expression of hatred.
L would clear his throat and say distantly, "Am I no different from Kira in your eyes, Raito-kun?"
Raito did not answer.
"Kira and I, we must disagree on many points, but I think the most crucial distinction is this. Kira plays at empire; he is easily distracted by the prospect of rivalry and has no sense of purpose. He has a vision of the world, but forgets it as he becomes absorbed in the game. Kira's goal is not justice, but strength. He must defeat me to prove himself strong. He no longer thinks about eliminating criminals; they are merely names and faces." L paused, his eyes narrowing. "Raito-kun, I am no Napoleon, but let me assure you that were I Kira, I would not merely play at empire."
"What are you saying?" Raito would ask, frowning. "What is your vision of the world?"
"A place where I can remain nameless," L would answer and fall silent. Raito could not see his face, but he would like to punch it, once more, and make it smaller, more human. It isn't fair, he would repeat to himself, things should be different.
But the next morning, he believes in justice and remembers nothing of such hypothetical conversations.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
He looked alive to me in the Ejami scene, that was some pretty deep kissing. Where he looked dead was when he had to listen to Abby whine, I think he likes her better when she's moaning.
He is smiling again, we haven't seen a smile since yesterday's Ejami scenes. I miss James' smile.
So I guess all is forgiven? When Sami finds out, she can just let it go and Ejami will be back together stronger than ever, huh?
Because it's all the other woman's fault when the man cheats.

International Rectifier has introduced the IRAUDAMP7 reference design for Class D audio amplifiers above 25W per channel including home theatre applications, musical instruments and car entertainment. With a power range from 25W to 500W, the IRAUDAMP7 offers a high degree of scalability on a single layer PCB.
The IRAUDAMP7S two-channel, 120W half-bridge design provides 91 percent efficiency at 120W in Class D stage, eight ohms, and a THD+N of 0.005 percent at 1 kHz, 60W, eight ohms, (both typical). The IRAUDAMP7D features IR’s IRS2092 protected digital audio driver IC in a DIP16 package together with through-hole components while the IRAUDAMP7S features the IRS2092S in an SOIC package with surface-mount components. Both reference designs are paired with the IRFI4019H-117P digital audio dual MOSFET to further enhance scalability, and are wave solder process compatible.
The IRAUDAMP7 provides designers with quick and easy scalability. For example, a 125W design can be functionally scaled to 60W within minutes simply by changing seven of the 50 components required on a single layer board.
The IRAUDAMP7 incorporates critical protection features including over-current protection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage protection, DC-protection, and over-temperature protection. Housekeeping functions include a +/- 5V supply for analog signal processing for the preamplifier and a +12V supply (Vcc) referenced to -B for the Class D gate driver stage.

VICTORVILLE • A Helendale man involved in a single-vehicle rollover on Seventh Avenue in Victorville Saturday died from his injuries while being treated at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Coroner.
Scott Harrold, a 37-year-old resident of Helendale, was heading south at 4:37 p.m. Saturday, on Seventh Avenue at Silica Drive when he made a sudden maneuver in order to avoid another vehicle.
Harrold's vehicle rolled several times and he was ejected. He was airlifted to Arrowhead where he was pronounced dead at 8:34 p.m.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's Major Accident Investigation Team is reviewing the incident and is seeking a witness to the scene.
The driver of a dark green, older model GMC truck with paint buckets in the back may have been a witness and is being sought for questioning.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Victorville station at (760) 241-2911 or call WeTip at (800) 78-CRIME.

UCL rear trailing arms help keep your rear wheel centered in the wheel well. Without them, your rim and tire would be pushed forward in the fender. This can cause the tire to rub and also looks funny, as its not sitting centered in the wheel well. Our arms are built from massive wall tubing and are rated for over 1,000 hp. To properly set your drive shaft angle, all trailing arms are fully adjustable via threaded ends. All parts are finished in a durable black powder coat finish and come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

Prayer is the legal right to ask God to supernaturally intervene on our behalf. “We can stand in God’s presence without fear, without a sense of inferiority, without a sense of guilt, because of all that Jesus has done for us. It is our legal right to come boldly before God to request heavenly intervention in this earth on our behalf.” (Charles Capps)
God doesn’t want us to tell Him the problem; He wants us to seek Him and then ask for the solution. He already knows our problems and what we need before we even ask Him. (Matthew 6:7-8) God wants us to learn to pray with authority, by lining ourselves up with what He has already spoken in His Word so we will release by faith His ability into every situation and circumstance.
I’ve learnt that there is no point reinforcing the problem we are facing by talking over and over about it. Instead we are encouraged to go to God’s word and find out what He says about our situation so that we can then pray as we put a demand upon what God has promised
“A prayer accurately formed and stated from the Word of God will absolutely move heaven and earth, and the things under the earth on our behalf.” (C.Capps)
Let’s not keep telling God and everyone else our problems, when we can far better use our time to ask God for His wisdom and search out His word for the solution. Whatever it is; whether it is physical, financial, your relationships, a need for healing or direction for your future, determine to go to God and His word. Don’t rush it, but search to know His will, so you can pray with faith and boldness, basing your prayer accurately on what He has spoken and promised.
“If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” (Matthew 21:22)
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6)
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
Prayer: Lord please help me to have understanding and wisdom as I spend time in your presence and reading your Word, so that I can know what your will is for every situation I face. Thank you that prayer is my key to have you supernaturally intervene on my behalf. In Jesus Name Amen.

Why Expositional Preaching Is Particularly Glorifying to God (Session V)
A pastor is charged to not simply inform people of what God says, but to exult in it. A pastor’s task is to herald a message permeated by the greatness and glory of God through His word. The necessity and nature of preaching is influenced by what one believes about the glory of God. Know and enjoy God, so that you are a life transformed by displaying His infinite worth.

LGW G 106 To sen that flour, as ye han herd devyse.
LGW G 107 Fayr was this medewe, as thoughte me, overal;
LGW G 108 With floures sote enbrouded was it al.
LGW G 109 As for to speke of gomme, or herbe, or tre,
LGW G 110 Comparisoun may non ymaked be;
LGW G 111 For it surmountede pleynly alle odoures,
LGW G 112 And of ryche beaute alle floures.
LGW G 113 Forgeten hadde the erthe his pore estat
LGW G 114 Of wynter, that hym naked made and mat,
LGW G 115 And with his swerd of cold so sore hadde greved.
LGW G 116 Now hadde th' atempre sonne al that releved,
LGW G 117 And clothed hym in grene al newe ageyn.
LGW G 118 The smale foules, of the seson fayn,
LGW G 119 That from the panter and the net ben skaped,
LGW G 120 Upon the foulere, that hem made awhaped
LGW G 121 In wynter, and distroyed hadde hire brod,
LGW G 122 In his dispit hem thoughte it dide hem good
LGW G 123 To synge of hym, and in here song despise
LGW G 124 The foule cherl that for his coveytyse
LGW G 125 Hadde hem betrayed with his sophistrye.
LGW G 126 This was here song, " The foulere we defye,
LGW G 127 [And] [al] [his] [craft]. " [And] [some] [songen] [clere]
LGW G 128 [Layes] of love that joye it was to here,
LGW G 129 In worshipe and in preysyng of hire make;
LGW G 130 And [for] the newe blysful somers sake,
LGW G 131 [They] sungen, " Blyssed be Seynt Valentyn!
LGW G 132 [For] [on] his day I ches yow to be myn,
LGW G 133 Withoute repentynge, myn herte swete! "
LGW G 134 And therwithal here bekes gonne mete,
LGW G 135 [Yelding] honour and humble obeysaunces;
LGW G 136 And after diden othere observaunces
LGW G 137 Ryht [longing] onto love and to nature;
LGW G 138 So ech of hem [doth] [wel] to creature.
LGW G 139 This song to herkenen I dide al myn entente,
LGW G 140 For-why I mette I wiste what they mente,
LGW G 141 Tyl at the laste a larke son above:
LGW G 142 " I se, " quod she, " the myghty god of Love.
LGW G 143 Lo! yond he cometh! I se his wynges sprede. "
LGW G 144 Tho gan I loken endelong the mede
LGW G 145 And saw hym come, and in his hond a quene
LGW G 146 Clothed in real habyt al of grene.
LGW G 147 A fret of goold she hadde next hyre her
LGW G 148 And upon that a whit corone she ber
LGW G 149 With many floures, and I shal nat lye;
LGW G 150 For al the world, ryght as the dayesye
LGW G 151 Ycorouned is with white leves lite,
LGW G 152 Swiche were the floures of hire coroune white.
LGW G 153 For of o perle fyn and oryental
LGW G 154 Hyre white coroun was ymaked al;
LGW G 155 For which the white coroun above the grene
LGW G 156 Made hire lyk a dayesye for to sene,
LGW G 157 Considered ek the fret of gold above.
LGW G 158 Yclothed was this myghty god of Love
LGW G 159 Of silk, ybrouded ful of grene greves,
LGW G 160 A garlond on his hed of rose-leves
LGW G 161 Stiked al with lylye floures newe.
LGW G 162 But of his face I can not seyn the hewe,
LGW G 163 For sikerly his face shon so bryghte
LGW G 164 That with the glem astoned was the syghte;
LGW G 165 A furlong-wey I myhte hym not beholde.
LGW G 166 But at the laste in hande I saw hym holde
LGW G 167 Two firy dartes as the gleedes rede,
LGW G 168 And aungellych hys winges gan he sprede.
LGW G 169 And al be that men seyn that blynd is he,
LGW G 170 Algate me thoughte he myghte wel yse;
LGW G 171 For sternely on me he gan beholde,
LGW G 172 So that his lokynge doth myn herte colde.
LGW G 173 And by the hond he held the noble quene
LGW G 174 Corouned with whit and clothed al in grene,
LGW G 175 So womanly, so benygne, and so meke,
LGW G 176 That in this world, thogh that men wolde seke,
LGW G 177 Half hire beaute shulde men nat fynde
LGW G 178 In creature that formed is by kynde.
LGW G 179 Hire name was Alceste the debonayre.
LGW G 180 I preye to God that evere falle she fayre,
LGW G 181 For ne hadde confort been of hire presence,
LGW G 182 I hadde be ded, withouten any defence,
LGW G 183 For dred of Loves wordes and his chere,
LGW G 184 As, whan tyme is, hereafter ye shal here.
LGW G 185 Byhynde this god of Love, upon this grene,
LGW G 186 I saw comynge of ladyes nyntene
LGW G 187 In real habyt, a ful esy pas,
LGW G 188 And after hem come of wemen swich a tras
LGW G 189 That, syn that God Adam [had] mad of erthe,
LGW G 190 The thridde part of wemen, ne the ferthe,
LGW G 191 Ne wende I not by possibilite
LGW G 192 Hadden evere in this [wyde] world ybe;
LGW G 193 And trewe of love these wemen were echon.
LGW G 194 Now whether was that a wonder thyng or non,
LGW G 195 That ryght anon as that they gonne espye
LGW G 196 This flour, which that I clepe the dayesye,
LGW G 197 Ful sodeynly they stynten alle atones,
LGW G 198 And knelede adoun, as it were for the nones.
LGW G 199 And after that they wenten in compas,
LGW G 200 Daunsynge aboute this flour an esy pas,
LGW G 201 And songen, as it were in carole-wyse,
LGW G 202 This balade, which that I shal yow devyse.
LGW G 203 Hyd, Absalon, thy gilte tresses clere;
LGW G 204 Ester, ley thow thy meknesse al adoun;
LGW G 205 Hyd, Jonathas, al thyn frendly manere;
LGW G 206 Penelope and Marcia Catoun,
LGW G 207 Mak of youre wyfhod no comparisoun;
LGW G 208 Hyde ye youre beautes, Ysoude and Eleyne:
LGW G 209 Alceste is here, that al that may desteyne.
LGW G 210 Thy fayre body, lat it nat apeere,
LGW G 211 Laveyne; and thow, Lucresse of Rome toun,
LGW G 212 And Polixene, that boughte love so dere,
LGW G 213 Ek Cleopatre, with al thy passioun,
LGW G 214 Hide ye youre trouth in love and youre renoun;
LGW G 215 And thow, Tysbe, that hast for love swich peyne:
LGW G 216 Alceste is here, that al that may desteyne.
LGW G 217 Herro, Dido, Laodomya, alle in-fere,
LGW G 218 Ek Phillis, hangynge for thy Demophoun,
LGW G 219 And Canace, espied by thy chere,
LGW G 220 Ysiphile, betrayed with Jasoun,
LGW G 221 Mak of youre trouthe in love no bost ne soun;
LGW G 222 Nor Ypermystre or Adriane, ne pleyne
LGW G 223 Alceste is here, that al that may disteyne.
LGW G 224 Whan that this balade al ysongen was,
LGW G 225 Upon the softe and sote grene gras
LGW G 226 They setten hem ful softely adoun,
LGW G 227 By order alle in compas, enveroun.
LGW G 228 Fyrst sat the god of Love, and thanne this queene
LGW G 229 With the white corone, clad in grene,
LGW G 230 And sithen al the remenant by and by,
LGW G 231 As they were of degre, ful curteysly;
LGW G 232 Ne nat a word was spoken in that place
LGW G 233 The mountaunce of a furlong-wey of space.
LGW G 234 I, lenynge faste by under a bente,
LGW G 235 Abod to knowe what this peple mente,
LGW G 236 As stille as any ston, til at the laste
LGW G 237 The god of Love on me his eye caste
LGW G 238 And seyde, " Who restith there? " And I answerde
LGW G 239 Unto his axynge, whan that I hym herde,
LGW G 240 And seyde, " Sire, it am I, " and cam hym ner,
LGW G 241 And salewede hym. Quod he, " What dost thow her
LGW G 242 In my presence, and that so boldely?
LGW G 243 For it were better worthi, trewely,
LGW G 244 A worm to comen in my syght than thow. "
LGW G 245 " And why, sire, " quod I, " and it lyke yow? "
LGW G 246 " For thow, " quod he, " art therto nothyng able.
LGW G 247 My servaunts ben alle wyse and honourable.
LGW G 248 Thow art my mortal fo and me werreyest,
LGW G 249 And of myne olde servauntes thow mysseyest,
LGW G 250 And hynderest hem with thy translacyoun,
LGW G 251 And lettest folk to han devocyoun
LGW G 252 To serven me, and holdest it folye
LGW G 253 To truste on me. Thow mayst it nat denye,
LGW G 254 For in pleyn text, it nedeth nat to glose,
LGW G 255 Thow hast translated the Romauns of the Rose,
LGW G 256 That is an heresye ageyns my lawe,
LGW G 257 And makest wise folk fro me withdrawe;
LGW G 258 And thynkest in thy wit, that is ful col,
LGW G 259 That he nys but a verray propre fol
LGW G 260 That loveth paramours to harde and hote.
LGW G 261 Wel wot I therby thow begynnyst dote,
LGW G 262 As olde foles whan here spiryt fayleth;
LGW G 263 Thanne blame they folk, and wite nat what hem ayleth.
LGW G 264 Hast thow nat mad in Englysh ek the bok
LGW G 265 How that Crisseyde Troylus forsok,
LGW G 266 In shewynge how that wemen han don mis?
LGW G 267 But natheles, answere me now to this;
LGW G 268 Why noldest thow as wel [han] seyd goodnesse
LGW G 269 Of wemen, as thow hast seyd wikednesse?
LGW G 270 Was there no good matere in thy mynde,
LGW G 271 Ne in alle thy bokes ne coudest thow nat fynde
LGW G 272 Som story of wemen that were goode and trewe?
LGW G 273 Yis, God wot, sixty bokes olde and newe
LGW G 274 Hast thow thyself, alle ful of storyes grete,
LGW G 275 That bothe Romayns and ek Grekes trete
LGW G 276 Of sundry wemen, which lyf that they ladde,
LGW G 277 And evere an hundred goode ageyn oon badde.
LGW G 278 This knoweth God, and alle clerkes eke
LGW G 279 That usen swiche materes for to seke.
LGW G 280 What seith Valerye, Titus, or Claudyan?
LGW G 281 What seith Jerome agayns Jovynyan?
LGW G 282 How clene maydenes and how trewe wyves,
LGW G 283 How stedefaste widewes durynge alle here lyves,
LGW G 284 Telleth Jerome, and that nat of a fewe,
LGW G 285 But, I dar seyn, an hundred on a rewe,
LGW G 286 That it is pite for to rede, and routhe,
LGW G 287 The wo that they endure for here trouthe
LGW G 288 For to hyre love were they so trewe
LGW G 289 That, rathere than they wolde take a newe,
LGW G 290 They chose to be ded in sondry wyse,
LGW G 291 And deiden, as the story wol devyse;
LGW G 292 And some were brend, and some were cut the hals,
LGW G 293 And some dreynt for they wolden not be fals;
LGW G 294 For alle keped they here maydenhede,
LGW G 295 Or elles wedlok, or here widewehede.
LGW G 296 And this thing was nat kept for holynesse,
LGW G 297 But al for verray vertu and clennesse,
LGW G 298 And for men schulde sette on hem no lak;
LGW G 299 And yit they were hethene, al the pak,
LGW G 300 That were so sore adrad of alle shame.
LGW G 301 These olde wemen kepte so here name
LGW G 302 That in this world I trowe men shal nat fynde
LGW G 303 A man that coude be so trewe and kynde
LGW G 304 As was the leste woman in that tyde.
LGW G 305 What seyth also the epistel of Ovyde
LGW G 306 Of trewe wyves and of here labour?
LGW G 307 What Vincent in his Estoryal Myrour?
LGW G 308 Ek al the world of autours maystow here,
LGW G 309 Cristene and hethene, trete of swich matere;
LGW G 310 It nedeth nat al day thus for to endite.
LGW G 311 But yit, I seye, what eyleth the to wryte
LGW G 312 The draf of storyes, and forgete the corn?
LGW G 313 By Seynt Venus, of whom that I was born,
LGW G 314 Althogh thow reneyed hast my lay,
LGW G 315 As othere olde foles many a day,
LGW G 316 Thow shalt repente it, so that it shal be sene! "
LGW G 317 Thanne spak Alceste, the worthyeste queene,
LGW G 318 And seyde, " God, ryght of youre curteysye,
LGW G 319 Ye moten herkenen if he can replye
LGW G 320 Ageyns these poynts that ye han to hym meved.
LGW G 321 A god ne sholde not thus been agreved,
LGW G 322 But of his deite he shal be stable,
LGW G 323 And therto ryghtful, and ek mercyable.
LGW G 324 He shal nat ryghtfully his yre wreke
LGW G 325 Or he have herd the tother partye speke.
LGW G 326 Al ne is nat gospel that is to yow pleyned;
LGW G 327 The god of Love hereth many a tale yfeyned.
LGW G 328 For in youre court is many a losengeour,
LGW G 329 And many a queynte totelere accusour,
LGW G 330 That tabouren in youre eres many a thyng
LGW G 331 For hate, or for jelous ymagynyng,
LGW G 332 And for to han with you som dalyaunce.
LGW G 333 Envye -- I preye to God yeve hire myschaunce! --
LGW G 334 Is lavender in the grete court alway,
LGW G 335 For she ne parteth, neyther nyght ne day,
LGW G 336 Out of the hous of Cesar; thus seyth Dante;
LGW G 337 Whoso that goth, alwey she mot [nat] wante.
LGW G 338 This man to yow may wrongly ben acused,
LGW G 339 There as by ryght hym oughte ben excusid.
LGW G 340 Or elles, sire, for that this man is nyce,
LGW G 341 He may translate a thyng in no malyce,
LGW G 342 But for he useth bokes for to make,
LGW G 343 And taketh non hed of what matere he take,
LGW G 344 Therfore he wrot the Rose and ek Crisseyde
LGW G 345 Of innocence, and nyste what he seyde.
LGW G 346 Or hym was boden make thilke tweye
LGW G 347 Of som persone, and durste it not withseye;
LGW G 348 For he hath write many a bok er this.
LGW G 349 He ne hath not don so grevously amys
LGW G 350 To translate that olde clerkes wryte,
LGW G 351 As thogh that he of maleys wolde endyte
LGW G 352 Despit of love, and hadde hymself ywrought.
LGW G 353 This shulde a ryghtwys lord han in his thought,
LGW G 354 And not ben lyk tyraunts of Lumbardye,
LGW G 355 That usen wilfulhed and tyrannye.
LGW G 356 For he that kyng or lord is naturel,
LGW G 357 Hym oughte nat be tyraunt and crewel
LGW G 358 As is a fermour, to don the harm he can.
LGW G 359 He moste thynke it is his lige man,
LGW G 360 And that hym oweth, of verray duetee,
LGW G 361 Shewen his peple pleyn benygnete,
LGW G 362 And wel to heren here excusacyouns,
LGW G 363 And here compleyntes and petyciouns,
LGW G 364 In duewe tyme, whan they shal it profre.
LGW G 365 This is the sentence of the Philosophre,
LGW G 366 A kyng to kepe his lyges in justice;
LGW G 367 Withouten doute, that is his office.
LGW G 368 And therto is a kyng ful depe ysworn
LGW G 369 Ful many an hundred wynter herebeforn;
LGW G 370 And for to kepe his lordes hir degre,
LGW G 371 As it is ryght and skylful that they be
LGW G 372 Enhaunsed and honoured, [and] most dere --
LGW G 373 For they ben half-goddes in this world here --
LGW G 374 This shal he don bothe to pore [and] ryche,
LGW G 375 Al be that her estat be nat alyche,
LGW G 376 And han of pore folk compassioun.
LGW G 377 For lo, the gentyl kynde of the lyoun:
LGW G 378 For whan a flye offendeth hym or byteth,
LGW G 379 He with his tayl awey the flye smyteth
LGW G 380 Al esyly; for, of his genterye,
LGW G 381 Hym deyneth nat to wreke hym on a flye,
LGW G 382 As doth a curre, or elles another best.
LGW G 383 In noble corage oughte ben arest,
LGW G 384 And weyen every thing by equite,
LGW G 385 And evere han reward to his owen degre.
LGW G 386 For, sire, it is no maystrye for a lord
LGW G 387 To dampne a man withoute answere or word,
LGW G 388 And, for a lord, that is ful foul to use.
LGW G 389 And if so be he may hym nat excuse,
LGW G 390 [But] axeth mercy with a sorweful herte,
LGW G 391 And profereth hym, ryght in his bare sherte,
LGW G 392 To been ryght at youre owene jugement,
LGW G 393 Than ought a god, by short avisement,
LGW G 394 Considere his owene honour and his trespas.
LGW G 395 For syth no cause of deth lyth in this cas,
LGW G 396 Yow oughte to ben the lyghter merciable;
LGW G 397 Leteth youre yre, and beth somwhat tretable.
LGW G 398 The man hath served yow of his konnynge,
LGW G 399 And forthered [wel] youre lawe with his makynge.
LGW G 400 Whil he was yong, he kepte youre estat;
LGW G 401 I not wher he be now a renegat.
LGW G 402 But wel I wot, with that he can endyte
LGW G 403 He hath maked lewed folk to delyte
LGW G 404 To serven yow, in preysynge of youre name.
LGW G 405 He made the bok that highte the Hous of Fame,
LGW G 406 And ek the Deth of Blaunche the Duchesse,
LGW G 407 And the Parlement of Foules, as I gesse,
LGW G 408 And al the love of Palamon and Arcite
LGW G 409 Of Thebes, thogh the storye is knowen lite;
LGW G 410 And many an ympne for your halydayes,
LGW G 411 That highten balades, roundeles, vyrelayes;
LGW G 412 And, for to speke of other besynesse,
LGW G 413 He hath in prose translated Boece,
LGW G 414 And Of the Wreched Engendrynge of Mankynde,
LGW G 415 As man may in Pope Innocent yfynde;
LGW G 416 And mad the lyf also of Seynt Cecile.
LGW G 417 He made also, gon is a gret while,
LGW G 418 Orygenes upon the Maudeleyne.
LGW G 419 Hym oughte now to have the lesse peyne;
LGW G 420 He hath mad many a lay and many a thyng.
LGW G 421 Now as ye ben a god and ek a kyng,
LGW G 422 I, youre Alceste, whilom quene of Trace,
LGW G 423 I axe yow this man, ryght of youre grace,
LGW G 424 That ye hym nevere hurte in al his lyve;
LGW G 425 And he shal swere to yow, and that as blyve,
LGW G 426 He shal no more agilten in this wyse,
LGW G 427 But he shal maken, as ye wol devyse,
LGW G 428 Of women trewe in lovynge al here lyve,
LGW G 429 Wherso ye wol, of mayden or of wyve,
LGW G 430 And fortheren yow as muche as he mysseyde
LGW G 431 Or in the Rose or elles in Crisseyde. "
LGW G 432 The god of Love answerede hire thus anon:
LGW G 433 " Madame, " quod he, " it is so longe agon
LGW G 434 That I yow knew so charytable and trewe,
LGW G 435 That nevere yit sith that the world was newe
LGW G 436 To me ne fond I betere non than ye;
LGW G 437 That, if that I wol save my degre,
LGW G 438 I may, ne wol, not warne youre requeste.
LGW G 439 Al lyth in yow, doth with hym what yow leste;
LGW G 440 And al foryeve, withoute lenger space.
LGW G 441 For whoso yeveth a yifte or doth a grace,
LGW G 442 Do it by tyme, his thank is wel the more.
LGW G 443 And demeth ye what he shal do therfore.
LGW G 444 Go thanke now my lady here, " quod he.
LGW G 445 I ros, and doun I sette me on my kne,
LGW G 446 And seyde thus, " Madame, the God above
LGW G 447 Foryelde yow that ye the god of Love
LGW G 448 Han maked me his wrathe to foryive,
LGW G 449 And yeve me grace so longe for to live
LGW G 450 That I may knowe sothly what ye be
LGW G 451 That han me holpen and put in swich degre.
LGW G 452 But trewely I wende, as in this cas,
LGW G 453 Naught have agilt, ne don to love trespas.
LGW G 454 For-why a trewe man, withoute drede,
LGW G 455 Hath nat to parte with a theves dede;
LGW G 456 Ne a trewe lovere oghte me nat to blame
LGW G 457 Thogh that I speke a fals lovere som shame.
LGW G 458 They oughte rathere with me for to holde
LGW G 459 For that I of Criseyde wrot or tolde,
LGW G 460 Or of the Rose; what so myn auctour mente,
LGW G 461 Algate, God wot, it was myn entente
LGW G 462 To forthere trouthe in love and it cheryce,
LGW G 463 And to be war fro falsnesse and fro vice
LGW G 464 By swich ensaumple; this was my menynge. "
LGW G 465 And she answerde, " Lat be thyn arguynge,
LGW G 466 For Love ne wol nat counterpletyd be
LGW G 467 In ryght ne wrong; and lerne this at me!
LGW G 468 Thow hast thy grace, and hold the ryght therto.
LGW G 469 Now wol I seyn what penaunce thow shalt do
LGW G 470 For thy trespas, and understond it here:
LGW G 471 Thow shalt, whil that thow livest, yer by yere,
LGW G 472 The moste partye of thy tyme spende
LGW G 473 In makynge of a gloryous legende
LGW G 474 Of goode women, maydenes and wyves,
LGW G 475 That were trewe in lovynge al here lyves;
LGW G 476 And telle of false men that hem betrayen,
LGW G 477 That al here lyf ne don nat but assayen
LGW G 478 How manye wemen they may don a shame;
LGW G 479 For in youre world that is now holden game.
LGW G 480 And thogh the lesteth nat a lovere be,
LGW G 481 Spek wel of love; this penaunce yeve I thee.
LGW G 482 And to the god of Love I shal so preye
LGW G 483 That he shal charge his servaunts by any weye
LGW G 484 To fortheren the, and wel thy labour quite.
LGW G 485 Go now thy wey, thy penaunce is but lyte. "
LGW G 486 The god of Love gan smyle, and thanne he seyde:
LGW G 487 " Wostow, " quod he, " wher this be wif or mayde,
LGW G 488 Or queen, or countesse, or of what degre,
LGW G 489 That hath so lytel penaunce yiven the,

Test Average Word Problem
Date: 02/20/2004 at 10:22:51 From: Rich Subject: Difficult Word Problem In a certain class there are more than 20 and fewer than 40 students. On a recent test the average passing mark was 75. The average failing mark was 48 and the class average was 66. The teacher then raised every grade 5 points. As a result the average passing mark became 77.5 and the average failing mark became 45. If 65 is the established minimum for passing, how many students had their grades changed from failing to passing?
Date: 02/20/2004 at 11:22:59 From: Doctor Greenie Subject: Re: Difficult Word Problem Hi, Rich -- Thanks for sending the interesting problem. It was unlike any I had seen before; and in solving it I got to use one of my favorite mathematical "tricks". Here's what we have.... Before changing the grades: average passing grade: 75 class average: 66 average failing grade: 48 After changing the grades: average passing grade: 77.5 class average: 71 average failing grade: 45 All of these numbers were given specifically in the problem except for the class average after the grades were raised; because every grade was raised by 5 points, the class average was raised by 5 points. What we do with these numbers is determine the ratio of passing grades to failing grades before and after. To do this, we use my pet technique for solving "mixture" problems. For the case before the grades were raised, the average passing grade is 9 points above the class average, and the average failing grade is 18 points below the class average. So what we have is a "mixture" problem, where a certain number of students with average grades 18 points below average and another number of students with average grades 9 points above average combine to produce that average. With the average for one group twice as far from the overall average as the average for the other group, the ratio of students in the two groups must be 2:1. And since the overall average is closer to the average of the students who passed, the larger group of students is the group who passed. So now we know that we have "2x" students who passed and "x" students who failed. This means the total number of students in the class is 3x, so the total number of students is divisible by 3. For the case after the grades have been raised, we perform the same analysis. The passing average and failing average are, respectively, 6.5 points above and 26 points below the overall average. These two numbers are in the ratio 1:4; this means that now the ratio of students who passed to students who failed is 4:1; and this means the number of students in the class is divisible by 5. So now we know that the number of students in the class is divisible by both 3 and 5, and has to be between 20 and 40. Can you determine how many students there are from that information? Once you know the total number of students, can you use the pass:fail ratios to determine how many students passed and failed with each of the two scorings? That will let you answer the actual question posed in the problem. I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any further questions about any of this. - Doctor Greenie, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Sometimes the only way to take control is to surrender...
I am flawed and damaged.
My capacity for love is limited and only I can repair the pieces of my shattered heart.
A relationship with Alexander Stone will never work. But he is everywhere I turn.
In my mind. In my heart. And in my soul.
I cannot deny him. He is my addiction and I'm unable to stay away.
I want Krystina and I’ve accepted the inevitable. If I want to hold on to her, I must bear all and release the secrets in my past. I know the risks, but she’s worth it.
No woman had ever affected me the way she did.
She’s the sunshine in the darkness.
The lightning to my thunder.
She is my angel.
Continue Krystina & Alexander’s provocative and suspenseful journey in Stepping Stone, the second novel in The Stone Series.
this book pick up where it left off so you should read Heart of stone first. I was so happy that the Alex and Kry are starting to oovercome thier demons.. They fight with eachother and for each other which i love. i cant wait until the next installment…. love it
Outstanding!! Very realistic. Great flow from one book to the other! I wish it had been longer. The first book was longer than this one!
“Everyday needs to begin and end with you”
This series keeps getting better! I am in love with Alexander’s character. For a man with such a dark past and dark tendencies, deep down he is loving and tender. The heartbreak he experiences at the beginning of this book from his break up with Krystina and how hard he works to win her back are incredible pieces to his character!
In book two, Alexander’s and Krystina’s difficult pasts both make a reappearance in a way that you won’t expect. There will also be a fallout that you won’t see coming! This book will make you happy, sad, and every thing in between. There is also plenty of steam between Alexander and Krystina. These two are hot together! The ending of this book was perfection! It makes me wonder what will come in book 3! There are still plenty of unanswered questions to explore!
I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

How about taking a bunch of those spiral mercury bulbs. Package them all together so they break easily. Enclose them in a couple of ziplock bags. Box them up, label the box fragile (so the U.S. Post Office will be sure to break them) and send them to our federal legislators offices in D.C.
Enclose a big thank you note.
It’s time for the plant owners to submit and obey the law: shut down every single power plant that is not in total compliance with the EPA regulations.

You've heard it said, "Content is King" online and it's accurate. The reason is simple. The internet runs on search and search engines index, categorize and rank content - articles, blog posts, videos, pod casts and much more. So if you are truly serious about driving more targeted traffic to your web pages, you may need to consider adding an article marketing campaign to your marketing strategy. Yes, this can actually be a lot of work, but you could hire an article marketing service that could write, publish and promote the content material without any of your time and effort. Use an article marketing service and you get the best of two worlds - fresh content material driving new visitors to your website and widely distributed content which assists your other internet properties rank greater on the search engines as a result of backlinks.
Outsource an Article Marketing Service
In spite of the benefits, there are a couple of possible challenges when it comes to content marketing. For one, you might not like or be especially skilled at researching, writing and editing articles. Or, possibly, you simply don't have the time. Then you need to factor in distribution simply because the objective is to get as many versions of your content material posted, published and promoted to as many different directories and blogs as feasible. The wider the distribution, the greater the chance you will see a nice spike in targeted traffic.
Article Marketing Software program to the Rescue
Imagine how much a lot more new traffic, leads and sales you could get if you could spread your message across literally hundreds, even thousands of internet websites, blogs and article directories. Now imagine if you could do this with just a couple of easy clicks of your mouse. Sound impossible? It's not. Enter Article Marketing Robot, a software program article marketing service which does just that. You basically paste in a copy of your article, click distribute and sit back and let the robot do the work of submitting your content material all across the internet in just a few short minutes.
Steer clear of Duplicate Content Penalties
Many people who employ an article marketing service or use automated software program like Article Marketing Robot tend to take short-cuts which can actually decrease site visitors over time. One of the most essential mistake just isn't taking the time necessary to make sure each and every piece of content material being published across the web is exclusive and readable. If it's not exclusive, you've wasted your time. The search engines do not index or rank duplicate content. And if the "spun" content is unreadable, it makes you and your company look bad. So invest the time to be sure the copy produced by AMR is each distinctive and readable.

Editor's note: Jamie Gumbrecht edits and writes education-related content for CNN Living. What did your SAT or ACT score end up meaning to your future? Are you #morethanmyscore? Share your story on CNN iReport!
(CNN) -- Some years ago, I interviewed a pair of farmers selling pastured, hormone- and antibiotic-free turkeys for $4.75 a pound. They were heritage breed birds, Bourbon reds whose numbers had dwindled to dangerously low levels as the broad-breasted white -- the Butterball -- dominated.
At the time, the farmers were still a little queasy about slaughtering and selling livestock they'd raised. (One farmer had been a longtime vegetarian.) But by giving these turkeys a productive death, they explained, they were actually helping them survive.
If they weren't for dinner, these birds just weren't useful. They were neither cuddly nor well-behaved. They made terrible pets, and weren't well-suited for life in the wilderness. They weren't destined for poultry popularity, either -- maybe your grandparents would recognize their gamey flavor, but it was nothing like the gravy-slathered protein that generations had gobbled down over the holidays.
But if they enticed enough Thanksgiving cooks to prepare them, the farmers saw a win for biodiversity and the birds. Give them a reason to exist, and these turkeys could thrive.
I thought of those birds recently when College Board President and CEO David Coleman explained sweeping changes planned for the SAT exam. Come spring 2016, the essay will be optional. The score scale will return to familiar ol' 1600. The test prep will be free, and delivered via Khan Academy.
And, the SAT word will be no more, Coleman said. Just like those old-timey turkeys, it seems there's limited use for the $5 words we've come to expect from the SAT.
"Today, when we say that someone has used an SAT word, it often means a word you have not heard before and are not likely to soon hear again," Coleman explained in his announcement.
You know these words if you took the test, its preparatory cousin, the PSAT, or almost any college-minded standardized test. You flipped through their definitions on flash cards, or faced them in a spelling bee, if you were that kind of kid. You probably still use a number of them: "threatened," "vigilant," "predicting," "ousting" and "strengthened" all appeared on an SAT test in 2013.
Of course, "bellicosity," "obduracy" and "garrulous" were on the test, too.
After the frenzy and stress of SAT cramming, the words become kind of a parenthetical joke, a chance to finally giggle at the absurdity of it all. Drop "mellifluous" or "loquacious" into a sentence after the college applications are sent, and you can actually stop to appreciate it -- "Hey, I just used an SAT word!"
Coleman said he's done indulging tricks and flash cards that promise to beat his test, especially at the expense of deep, analytical reading and understanding. If the college exam tests only obscure vocabulary words, "students stop reading and start flipping," he said.
The redesigned SAT will instead focus on words students are likely to use over and over again, he said, like "synthesis" and "empirical."
"The SAT will honor the best work of our classrooms -- reading widely and learning how words work in their different contexts," he said. "We aim to offer worthy challenges, not artificial obstacles."
But I wondered, if the SAT abandons these words, what will become of "treacly" and "mendacious"? Are they turkeys on the verge of extinction?
Hardly, linguist Geoffrey Nunberg explained. The SAT wasn't keeping them alive, he said, and flash cards weren't doing justice to many words, anyway.
Sure, those quick definitions did well enough for a multiple choice test. "You can pick 'em out of a lineup," said Nunberg, who teaches in University of California Berkeley's School of Information. "If you see 'mendacious' and you think 'dishonest,' you've got the main idea."
But "empirical," he said? Now that's a complex word. It's got varied and layered meanings, some buried deep in history, or evolving only now.
"Under the guise of providing more user-friendly, fair tests, they're merely substituting one set of SAT words for another," Nunberg said. "If anything, this calls for more tutoring, and more background than the old words."
He suspects that students might remember more from their SAT study sessions than anybody realizes, but the words are even less forgettable if students learn them through reading instead of flash cards. Regardless, the test will never get much credit; if you memorize a word and use it often enough, he said, you're unlikely to be able to pinpoint that you learned it for the SAT.
And if you don't use it?
"If people don't use the word," Nunberg said, "it's because they don't need the word."
There are no guarantees about the vocabulary of the future SAT. The College Board certainly hasn't released a list of banned words, and it's not as if the passages will suddenly read like "Fun with Dick and Jane." It wouldn't be a test, Nunberg said, if everybody could answer all the questions correctly.
"Everything is an SAT word to somebody," he said.
Consider just one of the changes coming to the SAT in 2016: Each exam will include passages from meaningful historic documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
In King's nearly 7,000-word letter, he dropped "cognizant," "superficial," "moratorium," "unfettered," "ominous," "ordinance," "paternalistically," "incorrigible," "zeitgeist," "sanctimonious," "nullification," "gladiatorial," "scintillating" and "existential." Any of them could be called an "SAT word." Any of them could be on the new test.
So, word lovers, do not mourn the next generation's vocabulary. Educators, do not celebrate the end of flash cards. The SAT word is dead, long live the SAT word. These turkeys still have a long time to cook.

Piggy bank (sometimes penny bank or money box) is the traditional name of a coin container usually used by children. The piggy bank is known to collectors as a "still bank" as opposed to the "mechanical banks" popular in the early 20th century. These items are also often used by corporations for promotional purposes. The use of the name 'piggy bank' gave rise to its widely-recognized 'pig' shape, and many financial services companies use piggy banks as logos for their savings products. Piggy banks are typically made of ceramic or porcelain.
They are generally painted and serve as a pedagogical device to teach the rudiments of thrift and savings to children; money can be easily inserted. Many piggy banks have a rubber plug located on the underside; others are made of vinyl and have a removable nose for easy coin access. Some incorporate electronic systems which calculate the amount of money deposited. Books, film, and other dramas often portray piggy banks that have no opening besides the slot for inserting coins; characters will usually have to smash the piggy bank to get at the money within as a visual representation of their desire for money.

Jerry Dias has been named the first national president of Unifor, at the new union's founding convention in Toronto.
Jerry Dias has been named the first national president of Unifor, at the new union’s founding convention in Toronto, and Windsor’s Dino Chiodo has been elected as Unifor’s Ontario chair.
More than 4,000 people are attending in Toronto this weekend.
Outgoing CAW national president Ken Lewenza and outgoing CEP president Dave Coles say they believe the organization will benefit from fresh leadership.
They also stress the need for a broader, more diverse membership.
“This convention is about all workers across this country, especially those workers who work in precarious employment, who are abused by their employers, who fail to make a decent living because their bosses are jamming the profits of their corporations and companies into their pockets,” Coles told union members in a speech Saturday.
The union will initially represent more than 300,000 workers across roughly 20 sectors of the economy, primarily in manufacturing, communications and transportation.
It will also represent some public sector employees in the health, education and transit sectors.
Dias was expected to hold his first news conference as president Saturday afternoon.

A charitable bequest is one of the easiest ways that you can designate a planned gift to the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation.
In addition to knowing that your gift will help thousands of people affected by cutaneous lymphoma for years to come, you will enjoy many benefits including:
Types of Bequests
|Specific||In this type of bequest, you name the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation as the beneficiary of specific assets including cash, property, life insurance policies or other assets.|
|Percentage||In this type of bequest, the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation receives a designated percentage of your estate. Because many people do not know what the net proceeds of their estate will be, this may be the best option for many individuals.|
|Residuary||In this type of bequest, you designate the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation to receive all or a portion of assets after specific gifts for your heirs have been fulfilled.|
|Contingent||In this type of bequest, you designate the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation to receive all or a portion of assets if your named beneficiaries do not survive you.|
Legal documents such as wills should be prepared by attorneys. The following language is offered for the use of attorneys preparing wills containing bequests for the benefit of the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation:
"I, [name], of [city, state, zip code], give, devise, and bequeath to the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation located in Birmingham, MI the sum of/percentage of [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use.”
Notify Us Of Your Plans
If you have already included the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation in your estate plans, thank you very much for your generous support, and please contact Jennifer A. Viano, Chief Executive Officer, at 248.644.9014, Extension 4, or at email@example.com notification of your plans.
Informing us of your plans is a good idea for several reasons. First, it allows you to ensure that we understand your wishes so that your gift will be used exactly as you intend. Second, it allows the Foundation to make note of your gift as we plan for the future. And, finally, it gives us the opportunity to honor you and express our appreciation through membership in The Legacy Circle.

Creating Personal Extract Requests
To synchronize with Oracle CRM On Demand, a client application issues Web service calls to create a personal extract request based on a personal extract definition, and retrieve the data files generated from the request. The call to create a personal extract request can be made:
For more information about these Web services, see Oracle Web Services On Demand Guide.
A user can have only one personal export request for a particular client application in process; that is, the request is queued, requeued, or processing. If a second request is received while the first request is being processed, then an error message is sent to the client application. A user can submit multiple personal extract requests but only if the specified client name value is different for each request. However, an administrator can request a personal extract for a user even if the user has submitted a request for the same client name value. When a personal data extract request is completed, an email message is sent to the user for whom the extract was requested.

In recent years, the role of T cells, dentritic antigen presenting cells (APCs) and cytokine network in inflammatory dermatoses has been more completely understood. This in turn has enabled the completion of new potentials and goals in immunotherapy. As research in Immunodermatology increased, newly targeted treatments for immunodisfunction were also developed. These treatments were not only beneficial for the patient, but also created experimental tools for better understanding disease pathophysiology and for rethinking nosology. In Dermatology, especially psoriasis treatment, targeted biologic treatment methods have been developed. Immunobiologic treatments can be defined by the therapeutic agents produced by the organisms by using recombination biotechnology. This article will briefly discuss the general characteristics of immunobiologic agents.

A team of researchers, from the National Centre for Population Health and Wellbeing Research based in Population Data Science at Swansea University, have launched a new study which will gather opinions of young people age 11 – 22 to understand the challenges they face during the pandemic.
The study is part of the Controlling COVID19 through enhanced population surveillance and intervention project (ConCOV), a UKRI funded COVID-19 Rapid Response Call, to help understand and address challenges of COVID-19. ConCOV will run for 12 months and will provide a platform for research to inform evidence-based strategies to control the virus, safeguard the general population and help bring the UK out of lockdown.
Giving young people a voice
Since the start of the pandemic young people have had to adjust to huge changes in education, social and family life.
To understand the current situation for young people, the study research team have developed a short online survey which asks young people about how COVID is affecting them, their communication, education, friendships and family life.
Information gathered from the surveys will be anonymised and combined with other multiple sources of data (including health, education and social care data), held in the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank that will be used to create an in-depth COVID-19 population study.
The findings from this study will be fed through to policy-makers and health care providers making sure that they are kept informed – giving them a better understanding of young people during the evolving pandemic. The findings of this study will contribute towards Con COV reports to Welsh Government COVID19 Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and British Government’s SAGE.
Professor Sinead Brophy, Director of NCPHWR and lead researcher for the study, said:
“During these uncertain times, it is important that we capture and understand the experiences of vulnerable and under-represented groups. Coronavirus is having a huge impact on young people’s lives. To help we need to gain an insight into how they are feeling and what life is like for them. This study aims to give young people a voice. Our aim is to ensure that our research findings are shared with governments in Wales and the UK – providing them with the evidence base needed to understand and inform decision making.”
Michaela James, researcher for the study, added:
“It’s really important that we give young people the opportunity to have their say during a time where they are being excluded from many conversations and decisions on matters that affect them. They will be some of the hardest hit individuals during this pandemic and therefore, we need to hear their experiences and feelings.”
Professor Kieran Walshe, Director of Health and Care Research Wales, said:
“Understanding young people’s experiences of the pandemic is essential in preparing the support and services they need. The ConCOV project is important research that will provide insight into the lives of young people in Wales and around the UK.”

|Research||Precedents | Residents | Land Use | Methodology | Funding | ~Links|
|Design||House objectives | Systems | Space | Environment | Materials and Structure | ~Interface | Sketchups|
|Communication||Project Frontpage | Dropbox Blog | Facebook Group | Mailing List | Partner Projects|
The house will be designed like an organism, a living machine. Here are the existing design objectives. Like every aspect of this wiki, they are fully editable by anyone with an account.
(Please Note: These are our current objectives only, and will be updated to reflect the current general consensus. Discussion for these topics is located at MyHomeYourHome/Elements_of_the_Home.)
Human Centered Design
- Most houses are designed around the stuff and objects that we own instead of the human body. One goal of our tiny house is to consider how the space can encourage people to live with the minimum of clutter/stuff while still creating a warm and customizable atmosphere. We are also considering how the space can encourage exercise and ergonomically healthy movement as well as socialization and community.
The Home as an Organism:
We are designing a system to take into consideration the following elements. You can read about the designs here. MyHomeYourHome/Systems
Consumption and Digestion
- the home will be designed to process waste in-house. this may mean a composting toilet, a vermiculture system, a solar composter, or some other method.
- the home will be designed to collect its own water, and to purify its own graywater.
Passive heating and cooling
- the home will passively heat and cool itself. this process should require no electrical energy.
- this system will take into account the inside air quality of the house, so that air circulation and heating systems work together.
- the home will be designed to integrate many alternative energy sources. this may include but will not be limited to: solar, wind, hydro, human, etc.
- separate appliances may run on their own power sources- like lights which have their own individual solar cells, or hand cranks. this will minimize maintainance costs.
- The potential of integrating with the 'grid' and aiming for a net energy use of zero will be explored.

It may surprise you to learn that Run'n'Gun contains both running and gunning.
Okay, so that probably didn't surprise you. How about this - it's a 3D endless-runner in the mould of Temple Run. No?
All joking aside, Run'n'Gun really isn't a particularly fresh concept, so it had better play a mean game if it's to impress.
You play the part of a typical square-jawed meat-head with an itchy trigger finger. The world he inhabits is slightly more original - a kind of anachronistic steam-punk fantasy world.
A merely adequate Temple Run clone in pretty much every way, Run'n'Gun passes the time but fails to ignite

|As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah,|
Anyone who knows Chicago -
What's the best masjid to go to for jumu'ah downtown?
I'm thinking of the area near Michigan Ave.
I can get a listing of masaajid from Islamicfinder.com but I'd rather have an idea of how big or easy it is to get there. Even info on an on-campus jumu'ah would be fine, inshaa'Allaah.
Jazaakum Allaahu khair for your help!
|03/10/03 at 15:19:03|
|03/10/03 at 18:28:16|
aslamu alykum wa rhamtullah,
I remember praying at MCC( Muslim Community Center of Chicago i think) and it was an okay experience. Every masjid has a different flavor to it.. According to my Chicagoan friend " Every Masjid in Chicago" is awesome. Her personal fav is the Islamic foundation, insha'Allah i am planning to check it out in april :)
P.S: She said that the website really has not been updated :P
|03/11/03 at 15:12:50|
|Jazaaki Allahu khair, I'll check it out, iA. |
Let me guess, the rest of you thought this thread was about the musical?
|03/11/03 at 15:13:39|
|03/11/03 at 16:43:57|
Peace and e-Greetings be upon you,
I used to live in Chicago back when the world was flat and I studied at
the American Islamic College.
They have Jumah on campus up there and yes there is a sister's section.
AIC is in the 40 hundred block right on Marine Drive. Take the Sheridan bus
and exit at Irving Park. AIC is at 640 Irving Park.
Anyhooo, here's the direct url for Masjids in the ChicagoLand area.
In The Loop, I recommend the Downtown Islamic Center on Wabash:
Yeah it's up on the 5th floor, but Alhumdulillah, when you get up there,
it's such an amazing MuSsalah, size wise I mean, PLENTY of former
office space turned into a nice comfy carpet'd oasis in the city.
As the centre is located on South Wabash Avenue, I further suggest that
you visit my favourite restaurant, also on Wabash: 'Heaven on 7even'.
It's on the 7th floor about a block away and across the street from the
Downtown Islamic Center. Cajun food with fire breathing hot sauce!
But I digress.
Of course http://ChicagoMuslims.com is run by the same muslims who run http://TorontoMuslims.com
And I now live back in Toronto. Strange Co-Incidence?
Nyah, just something to write about on this very slow blogging day.
InshAllah, YOu find Juma Works for you in Chicago, the City that Works.

I was raised in Chicago but recently moved. I would recommend you go to MCC for Jumu'ah.
I love praying Jumu'ah there because you literally see the whole world there, every
nationality possible and reverts from all walks. Also, the Imams there have amazing qiraat.

P.S. The musical Chicago Movie was filmed in Toronto.
Another one of those co-incithings....
Now If if only I could get a Halal GYRO here in T.O. ....

Chicago mosque attacked
Muslim advocacy groups on Thursday urged the FBI and other US security agencies to protect them against hate crimes after an attack on a mosque in Chicago.
More than 100 Muslims were praying inside when the mosque was attacked on Wednesday.
"It was a deliberate attempt to kill worshippers because those praying were clearly visible to the attackers through the large windows of the mosque," says Abdul Hameed Dogar, director Islamic Foundation, Chicago.
Witnesses told police investigators that worshippers heard two loud bangs just after evening prayer at the Islamic Foundation in Villa Park, near Chicago, one of the largest mosques and Islamic schools in America.
When the worshippers rushed to investigate the bangs, they saw two bullet marks on a window, witnesses said.
Villa Park police detective John Szkolka told the Council on Arab-Islamic Relations ha is following "some leads" in the case. Szkolka said the attack was "almost certainly" bias-related.
This was not the first such attack on the mosque. In 1999, vandals threw a chunk of concrete through a glass door and broke a window. Other incidents of vandalism occurred while the mosque was under construction. Following the 9/11 terror attacks, the mosque received a number of threats.
"We are thankful that no one was hurt in last night's attack. This incident is just the latest in a series of assaults on and threats against American Muslims in recent weeks," said Omar Haydar, a Muslim community leader in Chicago.
"We believe the increase in hate crimes is directly related to the drumbeat of pro-war and anti-Muslim rhetoric in our society. Local law enforcement agencies should offer increased protection to Muslim communities and their institutions during this time of crisis," he added.
Haydar noted that earlier this week, death threats were made against Muslim students.

|As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah,|
Jazaakum Allahu khair for all the suggestions, was only there for a couple days, but did get to check out the downtown Islamic Center for Jumu'ah. Really good khutbah, mashaa'Allaah (not sure who the khateeb was, but any khutbah where the Imam freely prays for the safety of the Iraqis etc, and makes du'aa that Allaah guide the hearts of western leaders, is a good khutbah). I didn't get a chance to check out the Islamic Foundation, but may Allaah protect all of His worshippers and places of worship, aameen.
Also found out that the Downtown Islamic Center is currently trying to raise $350,000 to buy a site for downtown prayers, rather than rent out the 5th flr (which they're paying $50,000/year for). Apparently, it wouldn't be located much further away, and would be much better for the community in the long-run, inshaa'Allaah. Allaahu A'lim.
Check out this link for an address to donate, inshaa'Allaah.
I was asked by one of the sisters to circulate info about an upcoming event in Chicago organized by the Nawawi Foundation. I lost the flyer, but Dr. Omar Farooq Abd-Allah and Hamza Yusuf will be speaking, in case any of you are in Chicago the wkd of 4/12/03.
And don't forget, ISNA is back at the McCormick Center this year!
Ok, I officially became a Chicago-ian (?) for a minute there.

I was listening to Randi Rhodes on local progressive radio. I was into it...until she segued into reading a commercial for a PC remote desktop software company.
Sorry, but that's not change I can believe in.
Talk radio is a self-promoting commercial enterprise - whether it tacks to the right or the left. What's the democratic alternative? Blogs. Podcasting. Viral video. The blogosphere brought with it the promise of decentralizing communication. It enabled lateral conversations, as opposed to the top-down, vertical dissemination of information and opinion to which we've become accustomed.
But hegemonies die hard. Many of us treat the Internet and blogging as a top-down enterprise - discussing the same stories, linking to the same sites. We cavort along to the latest outrage over the bad words that came out of John McCain's mouth two decades ago, or the outrageous covers of upper-class liberal rags. As bloggers ourselves, we angle to score exclusives that will bring us personal fame and fortune. We allow mega-blogs and super-bloggers to determine the course of the national conversation. We replicate the top-down structure of Old Media.
It's not surprising that, just as blogging began to reach its peak, the mainstream media was polluted with stories about the horrors of blogging. Anyone can do it! You can't vouch for the authenticity of information! You NEEEED us! And yes - we do need good, solid, independent reporting. But that can come from both the professional journalist and the talented amateur. But the MSM's backlash wasn't about journalistic integrity; it was a bid to retain control of the story line.
Democracy doesn't need anyone's permission. And it doesn't need an ossified pool of liberal celebrities, either - whether they got their start as radio celebs or as "lonely bloggers". It needs citizens engaged in conversation.

Aircraft: C172 N52654
Flight Time: .8 hour
Total Hours: 4.7
We had overcast and four inches of fresh snow last night, but by morning, the skies were plenty clear enough to fly. The hangar doors were frozen on the tracks and we couldn’t get them open more than halfway, so Mike, the owner of Land and Sea Aviation, maneuvered his VW Golf in between the doors and drove them open. We pushed 645 out into the snow and started her up, and then I learned how to taxi an airplane on an unplowed taxiway. It’s very much like driving a car in deep snow- you simply give it considerably more throttle so that it doesn’t get stuck.
Once we had clearance, we turned onto runway 25 at kilo and I performed the takeoff procedure with almost no assistance. I’m still getting used to the rudder pedals, especially when on the ground, but like everything else, proficiency will come with time.
Once over the practice area, Mark gave me a lesson on emergency procedures, specifically, what to do in case of an engine failure. That doesn’t happen very often, but it’s certainly a possibility and it’s a good idea to know how to handle that kind of situation. Essentially, you need to look for a suitable place to land. Up here in Alaska, small landing strips are not hard to come by, and in the wintertime, frozen lakes make great landing zones. Other options are fields, empty roads; basically any place without trees or buildings.
The nice thing about airplanes is that they fly. Even without the engine running, a C172 will glide for quite a few miles, depending on your altitude and providing you establish the optimum glide speed. (Think balsa wood glider.) This will give you plenty of time to look for a safe place to land the plane and alert the ATC to your emergency. Mark demonstrated this by cutting the power back to idle, which basically turned the aircraft into a glider, just one made of metal instead of balsa wood.
We were pretty close to the Goose Bay landing strip at the time, so we circled a wide approach, which gave us time to lose the needed altitude, and then lined up as if to land on the strip. It’s actually a pretty neat exercise, and in some ways very simple illustration of pure flight mechanics and aerodynamics.
Next, Mark demonstrated steep turns, which are turns that are done at a bank angle of about 45 degrees. Steep turns are much more exciting than shallow standard rate turns, and I can see how they could possibly come in handy. While he made the turns, I tried to concentrate on what the front of the plane looked like against the horizon as we came around. That’s what visual flight is all about, using your eyes and the learned visual references that come with time and experience in the aircraft.
I also got some more ‘hood time.’ I put on the special opaque bifocal old person looking glasses and performed a few turns, straight and level headings, and climbs while using only the instruments for reference. I seem to do well at this, probably because it’s pretty much like using the simulator. Next, I practiced doing a power-off stall, which we had worked on last week. I had trouble getting N13205 to stall in my previous lesson, because that plane has stall strips on the wing, which allows it to fly at extremely low airspeeds. This time, however, I had no trouble getting 654 to stall. I slowly pulled the power back as I pitched the nose up. As the plane slowed to near stall speed, the controls got pretty mushy, and then suddenly, the stall horn sounded and the nose just dropped out of the sky. I immediately pushed the power back to full and brought the nose up towards the horizon. I couldn’t see the horizon, though, as some clouds had started to come in from the west, so I had to use the attitude indicator for reference.
We completed the lesson with two touch and go’s before final landing. I did pretty well, and can see that I’m definitely improving in this area, which is very exciting. I’m flying smoothly around the pattern, and I’d say that today, I probably performed about 75% of the landing controls, with Mark assisting. Getting better and more comfortable each time. I’m still brining the nose up a bit too much on the flare, which can make the plane balloon back up, so Mark had to help correct for this, but all three times, I lined up well on final with good airspeed and descent rates, and held the yoke back until I felt the plane settle onto the runway. Landing is indeed one of the most challenging things to learn, so it’s very exciting to start to get it down. I’m curious to see how I do next week!

Top seeded qualifier Copil moves on in straight sets; three Americans move on to main draw field
Four players advanced to the singles main draw on Sunday, closing out the final day of qualifying. Three singles players from the United States moved along into the field of 32 players.
Top seeded qualifier Marius Copil was the first player to advance to the main draw on Sunday with a straight set 6-1, 7-6 (2) victory over eighth seeded Gerardo Lopez Villasenor. Copil, a native of Romania, held an advantage over Lopez Villasenor on serves, collecting 14 aces and winning 43-of-51 service points to cruise to victory. Copil, who is the fourth seed in the main draw, will square off with American Jared Donaldson in the opening round on Tuesday.
In the first matchup of the day between two Americans, Sekou Bangoura came out on top, defeating Clay Thompson, 6-3, 6-4. Bangoura, the second seed in the qualifier and 610th ranked player in the world, battled past Thompson in straight sets after play had been delayed nearly a half hour due to rain.
Daniel Nguyen (USA) won impressively over fellow American Taylor Geiger, 6-0, 6-1. Nguyen cruised, winning 6-of-8 break points and held Geiger to just 16 total points on the afternoon. The match lasted just 43 minutes.
After a few rain delays, Raymond Sarmiento (USA) went on to outlast Sarvar Ikramov of Uzbekistan. Sarmiento, the seventh seed in the qualifying rounds, took the first set 7-6 (2) and after nearly three hours of waiting due to weather, he finished off Ikramov 6-1 in the second to claim the final spot into the main draw.
In the doubles qualifier, Graham Alrutz and Keith Whittingham held on to a 6-4, 3-2 lead over Taylor Geiger and Krasimir Kolev before play was suspended for the day due to rain. They will continue their match tomorrow after the opening singles match on court one, which begins directly at 11 a.m..
The opening round of main draw singles and doubles play will begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow. A total of six singles and three doubles matches are on Monday’s slate.

Biohacking and Transhumanism at DEFCON 25
Our bodies are wonderful biological machines. Sadly, they’re also flawed. Issues like neurodegenerative diseases and aging are difficult to ignore. The reality is that we’ve yet to become the best versions of ourselves through evolution. Biohacking is all about improving our bodies beyond what evolution offers. In some cases, it involves tweaking our diet and actively measuring the results of our efforts, whereas in others it involves using prosthetics to replace missing limbs or even computer/electronic systems imbedded into our bodies. Rooted in transhumanism, biohacking is all about helping humans reach their full potential and preserving the most valuable asset on the planet: the human brain and the memories within. While we’re far from having the technology to upload or conscientiousness and achieve immortality, humanity is taking small steps in that direction.
While there are many definitions, transhumanism is simply a philosophy focused on improving our biological functions through the use of technology. Transhumanism aims to reach certain technological advancements that will inevitably defeat death itself, and it’s based on the belief that one day we can separate our consciousness from our biological bodies and download it as digital information that can be uploaded into cyborg-like bodies that will never die. This is rather a simplistic explanation of the transhumanist philosophy, but I believe it’s a good start for those who want to understand its core principles. While it might sound like your favorite sci-fi television/streaming series, technological advancements are now made at a such a rapid pace that we can only wonder how long we have left until we can really say that we can improve our body functions trough implants or even robot-like parts. Biohacking is just the next step in learning more about our bodies and how to improve their performance. There are many approaches to biohacking, from using nootropics to improve brain performance to steroids to increase body strength.
Biohacking is already happening! Before you jump to conclusions about how radical the biohacking movement is, you should know that you probably use several biohacks yourself. Anything that you put in your body and that improves your performance can be considered a biohack. You can’t start your day without the energy coffee gives you? Caffeine is your biohack of choice. Biohacking doesn’t have to be a radical treatment. It could be something more subtle, such as creatine for muscles or nootropics for an improved brain performance. Any substance that you use to increase your body’s performance can fall into the biohacking category. But biohacking sometimes comes with a twist. It empowers regular people who don’t have access to studies in medicine and engineering to study their own bodies and experiment with them. For instance, some biohackers try to improve their body by adding small magnets near their fingertips in order to “feel” magnetic fields. This type of improvement of the senses helps make us aware of magnetic fields that otherwise can’t be observed by our senses.
Biohacking majority impacts the health industry too. From nootropics to tracking down changes inside your body after adopting a new diet or taking a new supplement, biohacking is empowering people all over the world to find out more about their bodies and experiment with them. For example, you now have the opportunity to find out to what genetic diseases you’re predisposed to, what genetic diseases you’re currently suffering from, what your ancestry is, and many other useful pieces of information, just by mailing in your saliva in a tube.
The company I’ve brought up time after time is 23andme, a service that analyzes your DNA and delivers the results of 240 tests. These results let you truly understand one’s self. You can easily find out if you’re predisposed to ailments such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and much, much more. There are also many websites that help you keep a record of your medical history as well as websites that can help you get an idea what supplements should you use based on your height, weight, gender, and current dietary intake.
What’s so revolutionary about all this? For the first time ever, anyone can take these tests in a very comfort of their own home, at a very affordable price. The company can even “guess” your hair color and eye color. But biohacking doesn’t end there. Hormonal treatments for aging and prosthetics for the disabled can help us both live longer and improve the quality of our lives. Many people who are interested in biohacking just get regular tests. They measure the impact of certain supplements, and they generally try to improve their health some like our friend’s at DEFCON’s Biohacking village go way beyond the fringe with body modifications.
These friends at DEFCON’s Biohacking Village take body modifications one step further, many members of these biohacking communities are looking forward to incorporating new technology in their bodies each year. Magnets that can help user detect magnetic fields, and LED’s have the potential to make life even easier. Optimists say that in a few years the LED’s inside one’s body will allow you to communicate with your smartphone, giving commands. For example, you’ll have the ability to open your car door with LED’s. Nanotechnology is also on biohackers’ minds when it comes to body modifications. What if we could perform “surgeries” from the inside of the body? What if nanobots can help us detect cancer cells in early stages? What if these nanobots constantly examine our health state and report data to our laptops or smartphones? As technology advances, biohackers hope that they will accomplish the ultimate transhumanist dream: merging the human body with machines that not only enhance its capabilities but also transfer the human conscience in digital form to an undying body.
We’re living in a time where we can no longer deny their weakness or ignore death. But instead of giving up, we fight using technology. The ultimate goal of transhumanism is to defeat our biggest enemy: the flawed human body. While it’s undoubtedly a biological masterpiece, it has many shortcomings as well. Biohacking is not just about incorporating technology in our bodies. How far you wish to take it also depends on your goals and how you want to experience life. Some biohackers are more concerned about their mental performance, while others try to fight or prevent certain diseases. Biohacking is not limited to a small segment of people. It comes in many forms. However, the pursuit is all about changing your body and your human experience for the better, and always aiming to become a better human.

That amusing episode now behind us, we have to say that we like and respect Charles, so Jeff interviewed him to learn what he sees coming next. Charles also discussed the lag in gold stocks and what may turn them around, the possibility of companies hedging their production, why he's bullish on silver, and more.
I'm actually with Jeff now, in Florida at our Recovery Reality Check Summit, where we are both doing our best to add value for participants as well as keep the next issues of BIG GOLD and Casey International Speculator on track for publication this week.
The speakers are doing a fantastic job – Doug was as feisty and funny as ever, Rick Rule as precise and eloquent as ever, and David Stockman was highly informative, persuasive, and entertaining… a great show all around, so far. If you were not able make it, I do encourage you to order the recordings of the sessions.

Stromberg is a painter and collage artist who currently teaches at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis.
The artist comments, “The process of making archival images into re-contextualized artworks becomes a means to explore the past and its implications for the present. I am drawn to these images for the multiple ways they communicate across the span of decades. The iconic object is given new life in a new context to comment on the ever-changing American identity.”
Galleries hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sunday noon to 4:30 p.m., as well as one hour before and through intermission of all performances in The Phipps theaters.

Doesn’t that word just bring a smile to your face.
Just imagine the look on your mums face if she received a beautiful personalised cake this Mother’s Day right through her letterbox. BakerDays (a super Personalised Celebration Cake Specialist) can help you make this happen, and for a very reasonable price too.
How does it work?
Open the BakerDays website here. Can you see all the different cake designs? There are so many to choose from! Have a go at picking one. I chose the ‘Best Mum Flowers’ design. I think it’s perfect for Mother’s Day. Where is says ‘size’, make sure you have the ‘Letterbox Gift Cake’ selected. It will be a perfectly formed 5 inch cake and will fit easily through your letterbox.
Next, you need to decide what flavour cake you want. Ekk! They all look delicious. What did you pick? I chose the ‘Vanilla Sponge Cake’, a total classic and perfect for a little tea party.
Finally…make it personal
The cake design I chose gave the option of customising the text and image, which meant that I was able to have my new blog design featured on the cake. How fab is that! Have a go yourself and see how easy it is to add little personal touches to your own cake for gifting, or perhaps you will send one to yourself (sounds good me!).
Finished? All you need to do is checkout and there you have it – a delicious personalised surprise gift.
Mother’s Day treat
BakerDays kindly sent me my letterbox gift cake to review – how lucky am I. Cake is my absolute favourite, so even though I knew that my cake would arrive the very next day, I found myself rushing to the letterbox just in case!
Sure enough, with a little shuffle and thud, there was my BakerDays cake the very next day. Don’t tell anyone, but I was actually waiting for the postman to see if the cake really would easily make it through the letterbox… it did! Hooraa!
With great restraint, I carefully opened the package and found a lovely round cake tin, a card, sweets and some information on the cake.
The day before, I pictured savouring the moment, and carefully opening the box to reveal the cake! Except in practice I grabbed the tin, popped it open in a flash, then stood mouth-opened in surprise and delight beaming at the cake…the whole cake, which managed it’s entire journey in one piece and looking as though it had just been baked and handed to me.
The overall finish and quality of the design is very high, and the smell was…. mmmmm delicious. It felt like a very luxurious gift to receive indeed.
Even Little Button couldn’t keep her hands-off, singing ‘look mummy, I am on your cake!’.
The cake easily gives 4 portions, but we cut it slightly smaller and managed 6 slices. ‘It’s wonderful’ chirped Little Button as she took a nibble. I second that. It tasted fresh and as good as it looked and smelt. The soft, moist vanilla sponge was complimented by buttercream and the sweetness of the icing was just enough to make you feel satisfied with a slice (or 2!).
I can’t recommend BakerDays Letterbox Gift Cakes enough. In fact, we were so impressed that once I have finished writing this post, I will be ordering a ‘new baby’ Letterbox Gift Cake for one of the family.
BakerDays offer a huge range of celebration cakes that come in 4 different sizes, as well as super cute cupcakes. You will be spoilt for choice. If you haven’t already, you can visit their website and also check out their Facebook and Twitter pages for all the latest offers and competitions.

Americans have long identified with the cowboy. He's been called our most enduring myth. Many Hollywood and Nashville fortunes have been made trading on his image. "City Slickers" just gave the myth a new shot in the arm. A vacation at the Spur Cross, a working cattle ranch 328 miles from Sacramento, may not have as many laughs as the 1991Billy Crystal movie. But neither is it as threatening.

Britain Stops Paying Baby Stealers
January 21, 2008 permalink
Labour's adoption targets to be scrapped
A controversial policy offering cash rewards to councils for arranging "forced adoptions" of newborn babies is to be scrapped after its dangers were highlighted by The Sunday Telegraph.
Under the initiative, town halls compete for payouts of up to £36 million for increasing the number of children they remove from their natural families and place with adoptive parents.
The original aim of the drive, announced by Tony Blair in 2000, was to reduce the amount of time children spend languishing in council care before finding permanent new homes.
However, critics have claimed that the Whitehall targets give councils a perverse incentive to take more children away from their natural parents, rather than trying to find homes for hard-to-place children already in their care.
The decision to scrap the target was revealed in a consultation paper issued, without publicity, by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Entitled National Indicators for Local Authorities: Annex C2: Children and Young People, the document proposes 68 new targets to replace the present set. The adoption target is omitted, and will cease to exist when the replacement targets take effect in April.
John Hemming, the Liberal Democrat MP and chairman of Justice for Families, welcomed the move. He said: "This target was part of the cause of massive injustices. I am pleased that the Government are getting rid of one aspect of a badly broken system."
This newspaper, in its "Stop the Secrecy" campaign, has highlighted cases in which babies have been removed from their natural families, on questionable grounds, at family court hearings held behind closed doors. Parents are threatened with imprisonment if they speak out.
In one case, a professional married couple had their baby taken because the mother had a history of mental illness and the father had been "confrontational" towards social workers.
Another couple were cleared of abuse but had both daughters taken for adoption.
One heavily pregnant woman secretly recorded a meeting with social workers in which they told her that her baby would be taken away, even though there was "no immediate risk to your child from yourselves''.
The number of newborn babies removed from their parents has almost doubled from 540 in 1995 to 1,400 in 2005/6. Yet the policy has failed to reduce the number of infants murdered, which rose in the same period from 17 to 24.
Although the number of babies adopted has risen, the numbers for older children -the ones the policy was meant to help - have gone down.
Critics claim that financial incentives encourage social services departments to target children who can easily be placed in adoptive homes, rather than those at the greatest risk. White baby girls with no health problems are in highest demand.
A spokesman for the Department of Children, Schools and Families said: "The Government has sought to ensure that children do not languish in care waiting for adoption. There is no case for new national targets."

The celebration of a birthday is widely associated with three things: presents, a birthday dinner, and a cake (with candles, of course). Upstart singer/songwriter Jeremih, however, sees things a little differently – the Chicago native is all about giving his special someone a little Birthday Sex. Taking a page out of The-Dream and Tricky Stewart’s musical playbook, Jeremih and his producer Mick Schultz follow a sonic formula that has been a staple at radio since Rihanna’s Umbrella first opened. Thanks to a large buzz in his home city, Birthday Sex has already received spins on Chicago’s Power 92 (WPWX), and has industry tastemakers abuzz. With performances scheduled through the New Year, Jeremih plans to stay busy until his currently-untitled debut drops next spring.

Bollywood cinema: 10 lesser-known facts
- 5 May 2013
- From the section India
Bollywood turned 100 on Friday. Eminent economist and Bollywood fan Lord Meghnad Desai explores whether it has reflected the life and times of a changing India.
Indians like to be told stories, especially the stories they have heard before.
Narratives of epics, history, romance and family sagas crowd the Indian mind.
Folk theatre and itinerant singers have done this for ages. Indian cinema has done the same for a century.
Indian cinema is as old as cinema itself.
Six months after their Paris debut in 1895, the Lumiere brothers came to Bombay's (now Mumbai) Watson Hotel and displayed their new invention, and Indians took to cine photography like fish to water.
They began making single and two reel films immediately.
Condescension of the elite
The first feature film Raja Harishchandra (1913), based on a well known story from the epics, came after years of preparation.
Even so, Bollywood (which strictly refers to the Hindi film industry and not the many other language film industries) has never been given its due in India's cultural and intellectual life.
It suffers from much condescension of the elite who celebrate classical music, classical dance and theatre but look down upon Bollywood films as vulgar, common and highly unrealistic.
Cinema actually has been the most vibrant medium for telling India its own story, the story of its struggle for independence, its constant struggle to achieve national integration and to emerge as a global presence.
Cinema has also been a major export success and is one of the few of India's products which is a global brand across Asia and Africa and increasingly Europe and America.
Widow remarriage was the theme of Ek Hi Rasta (1956) and dowry deaths in Dahej (1950).
These themes recur but in new forms as India changes. There are other political themes.
In 1943, the film Kismet became a huge hit and its most celebrated song was Door hato ai duniyawalon Hindustan hamara hai (Go away you people of the world, India is ours) at the height of the Quit India agitation against the British.
By 1949, newly independent India was just discovering itself and its diversity.
In the film Shabnam, there was the first multi-lingual film song with stanzas in Bengali, Marathi and Tamil, telling the audience that they were all part of India while poking gentle fun at the stereotypes it created.
V Shantaram, the prodigious filmmaker whose career lasted 65 years from 1921 to 1986, made Teen Batti Chaar Raste (1953) on the theme of the need to live together despite linguistic and cultural differences by relating a story of a family where the brides speak several languages.
Director Mohan Sehgal took up the same theme of antagonism between northern and southern Indians in his film New Delhi (1956) where a famous line has the Punjabi speaking hero say to his Tamil lover that his father believes that if he encounters a cobra and a madrasi - as all south Indians were called by the north Indians - on the way he will kill the madrasi first!
Power of love
Yet the power of love conquers all, along with good music and entertaining dances.
The timid 1940s had tragic films with the hero and heroine thwarted in the path of love and dying singly or together while singing memorable songs.
By the mid-1950s Dilip Kumar, the quintessential tragic hero of the earlier days, was challenging the system in Naya Daur, as a horse carriage driver fighting a new bus service.
He wins the race against the bus and the woman he loves in happy ending.
By 1960, K Asif has his spectacular celebration of India in his historic epic Mughal-e-Azam on Akbar's reign while Raj Kapoor in his Jis Desh Me Ganga Behti Hai and Dilip Kumar in his Ganga Jamuna are exploring the theme of what makes a person a dacoit.
The multiple tensions in India all find their niches in Bollywood which never instructs but always entertains.
The portrayal of the British also undergoes a subtle change as India develops.
In Manoj Kumar's 1981 film Kranti, the British are blood thirsty tyrants much given to the whip and the manacle while patriotic Indians wage a war against them.
By 2001, Aamir Khan's Lagaan has the story of a village challenging the British to a cricket match in lieu of an unjust revenue demand and defeating them. Here is confident India rethinking its colonial past.
Globalisation and increasing cosmopolitanism raise anxiety about what it is to be an Indian, especially for a young woman.
So we have films like Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994) where the traditional family wedding meets lovers' choice and concedes, while in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) it is the expatriate Indians discovering their roots though growing up abroad.
By the time you come to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) we have the old story of male bonding among three men which spans across Spain romancing senoritas. Yet the men are truly Indian.
India has the world's largest film industry.
It is part and parcel of India's story which it tells like no other medium and earns more than all the rest. Let us look forward to its second century.

Emma Watson, 23, shopping a new luxury apartment in New York City today. Dressed casually in a wool scarf, coat, jeans and white sneakers and carrying a property portfolio, Emma viewed properties in a brand new condominium building at 150 East 72nd Street where prices range from $4-15 million.
She was accompanied by real estate broker. Later Emma came back to her current apartment to find her ex boyfriend Will Adamowicz outside of her apartment building.
Watson, who has been photographed recently with new boyfriend Matthew Janney, found Will, looking upset and wearing a green parka, which he has been photographed in previously, with the hood up.
Emma did not exit her car, but later, Adamowicz was seen getting into a cab with Emma’s broker and it’s understood he went to meet the actress at an undisclosed location. Photos: INF.

I Am Afraid Of Cancer
I've had so many bad pap smears--- and that combined with losing my brother, father, aunt, and grandmother to cancer has me on the edge. I manage my fear well by eating right (stopped eating meat), exercising regularly, keeping my stress levels down, having fun (woohoo), and making sure I keep up with my annual checkups. But when the pap results are not good and I need a biopsy---I’m a crybaby, I can’t focus at work, my kids drive me crazy-----all of which stresses me out. And to go along with that bad pap, I have lower-lower back pain. I hate this feeling….

Flipping the Funnel--new ebook
The ideas I've been playing with over the last few years came together over the last few weeks... and my funnel post was a small part of that.
This new ebook (3 versions, 18 pages each, PDF format) explains how I believe some of the new Web 2.0 tools (flickr, del.icio.us, squidoo and others) combine with ideaviruses and the Purple Cow.
Here they are. Free to download from this site, free to post on your site... or to email to your team and colleagues.
That's an edition of the ebook optimized for corporations and traditional marketers.
You can also download a slightly different edition for politicians: Download FlippingPolitics
and a third one for non-profits: Download Flipping non profits

Apparently, NATO didn’t get the memo from the Ukrainian Chief of Staff. That’s their cover story, at least. They know that Russian troops haven’t invaded Ukraine.
All this “preparedness” is based on a fraud — a very, very dangerous fraud. In addition to the safety danger to the world, millions of taxpayer dollars are also being spend on these military “games” and more weaponry, while citizens in most countries are dealing with essential service cutbacks, cost increases, wage cuts, and job losses.

Norway will host high visibility NATO exercise
By Thomas Nilsen
“Last year was not a good year for European security,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said last week when presenting the alliance’s annual report.
“A black year,” was words the Former Norwegian Prime Minister used pointing to Russian troops actively involved in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Stoltenberg met defense ministers from NATO’s 28 member states, including Norway’s Ine Eriksen Søreide.
“Allied military cooperation must now be safeguarded and further strengthened through exercises and training. This is a main priority for NATO in the time to come. Last year, I offered that Norway could host the large NATO exercise in 2018. I’m very pleased that NATO now accepts the invitation. It contributes to strengthen preparedness and response capacity within the alliance,” says Ine Eriksen Søreide in a press-release from Brussels Wednesday evening.
She points to the fact that Norway also before has hosted NATO exercises. It is not said where in Norway the estimated 25.000 soldiers will go, but such large scale, multi-weaponry operations are normally carried out in Nordland and Troms.
The Defense Minister says allied training in the north will strengthen the defense of our neighboring areas.
