Oh what comes to mind when this word is uttered. Some may snicker, some may feel shame, still others might hear this word with a sickening echo within their own minds after it smashes into their ears like a car alarm in the late night.
As unfortunate as it may be to be impotent in the, ahem, more commonly used sense of the word, what might it feel like to be impotent when you're facing down the ultimate choice, a decision between life and death?
Well. Let me tell you something. It feels like pure shit. You make a sharp turn towards the futile, barreling down the road with no brakes, ending up in a wreck of ineptitude and fury.
The building was so appealing. Brick walls towered twenty or so feet, bleeding into a ceiling of exposed wooden beams, remnants of the days where the building saw calloused hands working tirelessly to create beautiful textiles. The old wood was warm and inviting and contrasted well with the cold metal of the also exposed piping running overhead the lengths of each room, evoking thoughts of a more industrial time. You might gaze up at the unfinished and unsanded wood of the beams and think of a sweaty, busy factory floor. Or you might wonder, "Can they take my weight"?
The rope came from Home Depot. The 12AWG speaker wire came from some website. See, having choices when you are making the last choice seems fitting, right? Finding instructions on how to tie a noose was so easy with the internet, to the point of being quite chilling. The thought, "How many other people have looked this up before…" fleetingly runs through my mind. Like a cowboy, I lassoed the rough, itchy rope over the wooden beam, a few times for good measure and I watched the dust float down around me. I noted the similarity in color between the wood and the rope, thinking that the rope looked pretty damn good dangling there. Maybe add a nice chandelier to it and you got yourself a nice home lighting piece. Ha.
Nooses are pretty easy to tie, I would find out. What wasn't easy was tolerating that fucking rope against my skin. On your way off this planet, should that even fucking matter? Does it really have any bearing on what the next, I don't know, thirty minutes were supposed to hold? And should I care that the rope smelled like a dumpster? Time for plan B.
The smooth coolness of the speaker wire felt, well, nice. It allowed for a more snug fit and it felt tighter against my skin. Funny to think of it like this, almost as if I was trying on clothes in a dressing room. I pulled the chair back over, positioning it roughly below the brown beam. Splinters fell onto my head as I wrapped and tightened the wire a few times around the wood above me. I felt more sloppy with tying up and off the wire, the noose wasn't a neat and tight work of art and looked more like those colorful bracelets children used to make and wear in the 90s, Gimp. No concern, I wasn't interested in how it appeared; I wanted it to work.
Without much thought, the wire found its way around my neck. Just before I kicked away the chair underneath me, like I'd seen in countless movies and TV shows, a few odd thoughts ran through my mind. Despite feeling almost like I was in a stupor or daze, I wondered if I would wonder about this all being a mistake and with that, would I think what others often thought before they attempted to kill themselves (I knew that survivors often reported an ever-so-brief moment of "OH SHIT I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS" in that space of time between making whatever action they chose to do to take their lives and the action being completed – think the few seconds of conscious thought a person might have as soon as they jumped off a bridge). Rather than having that thought, I simply wondered if I would wonder about it. Additionally, I had this video-like image playing in my head, a depersonalized and dissociated view of myself desperately grasping at my neck, thrashing around like a shark, in a painful frenzy as the video recorded the final moments of my life. Finally, I thought if I would twitch as the last breath left me and my brain functioning permanently shut down.
None of these things happened though. As my feet left the chair, I simply hung there for what seemed like forever (cliche, right?). Doing nothing, until I fell to the floor. Instead of feeling relief, I felt an explosive frustration and sense of pointlessness. Here lies the impotence: I couldn't even end my own life. The frustration coupled with an anticlimactic dearth of the finality that I craved left me exhausted and with an ending sure to displease anyone hoping for a dramatic ending full of revelation and pseudo-spiritual experience, I crawled into bed, defeated. Impotent.
My neck drew curious stares and awkward interactions for the next two weeks. Red lines wrapped around the front of my neck and throat. Was I a choking victim? Was I strangled? Was I an aficionado of auto erotic asphyxiation? The world would never know.

This contribution and your ongoing support will have a direct impact on our success this season. You are not only supporting CMT's artistic vision, but ensuring that the youth in our programs develop communication skills, build self-esteem, and gain a valuable background in the arts.
Enter your custom content here
As we approach the end of the season—now is the time to reflect upon the great memories and friendships we have created this year. Through their spectacular productions, classes, workshops and summer camp, CMT has been able to offer the children of Silicon Valley opportunities to enrich their lives with the performing arts.
For 49 years CMT San Jose's goal has been to change the lives and inspire new generations of artists in the community. Anyone who grew up in or around San Jose during that time most likely had their first quality performing arts shows with CMT. Whether it was as a performer or a patron—CMT has had a positive impact on the lives of not only the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids, but also the greater community as a whole.
With the arts under scrutiny from the current administration—now is the time to Raise Your Voice and help keep these important opportunities available. Did you know the average cost per production at CMT is about $150,000? As a nonprofit, CMT relies on donations to deliver professional quality productions, hire the best instructors and keep ticket prices affordable.
While this is the end of a season, it is the beginning of a new era at CMT. With our 50th Anniversary about to start, we plan on deepening our commitment to the community and nurturing the talents and aspirations of many more young performers.
On behalf of everyone at CMT—especially the children we serve—thank you for your generous support. We are so glad for you to be a part of our family.

My spring essential isn't new clothes, it's new makeup. I spend winter hibernating in my fave red and black eyeshadows, lots of black eyeliner, matte nude lips and dark nails, so when spring comes I get all shimmery and pastelly with myself for about 5 minutes while I attempt to adjust to the daylight. Here are my current faves for daffodilling in the spring :)
We haaaaaave MAC Viva Glam Nicki Minaj lippy - the perfect way to brighten your day, MAC Big Bounce The Cool Elite - a super sheer, super glittery white cream shadow, MAC Cremesheen Glass in Private Screening - a baby pinky nudey gloss, Stargazer Eyeliner Pen in Pink 6 - for a shock, Stargazer Baked Duo Eyeshadow in Ascot - a yummy sparkly pinky brown, Stargazer Metallic Eyeshadow Pen in Bronze - a lighter way to shade. GOSH Natural Cream Blush in Electric Pink - for an immediate flush, Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in 54 Rose Frisson - to add a touch of shimmer on top of the GOSH blush and for my nails, Mavala Fresh Melon - a shade good enough to eat!
I find that these lighter, shimmery colours make me feel more springy even when it's pouring down outside and I'm wearing a leather jacket ;)
What's your spring essential?
J - Spring fresh.

Barnett: We Should Hold Gun Owners Responsible For The Action Of Criminals
The N&O's Ned Barnett has gone that "extra mile" in an op-ed blaming gun owners for buying guns that are then stolen by criminals.
As a general rule of thumb, I refuse to read the Raleigh News & Observer, but everyone once in a while their editorial staff will go above beyond their normal vapid bloviating to new heights… or depths, depending on your point of view.
The N&O's Ned Barnett has gone that "extra mile" in an op-ed blaming gun owners for buying guns that are then stolen by criminals.
Yes, he's quite serious. You shouldn't wear such a revealing outfit young lady, you asked to be raped.
The growing number of law-abiding Americans who feel compelled to arm themselves is feeding the flow to criminals. Perhaps the phrase should be revised: If guns are outlawed, outlaws would have a harder time finding and affording guns.
Mike Tilley, who owns the Personal Defense and Handgun Safety Center in Raleigh, said three of his customers, including a law enforcement officer, recently had guns stolen from their cars. But Tilley said gun thefts from cars is a perverse effect of so many venues banning guns. If gun owners could carry their handguns into more settings, he argues, they wouldn't have to leave them in their cars.
Tilley said the problem isn't just guns left in cars. It's the people who break into cars and then are put back on the street. "There have to be consequences," he said.
Long prison sentences for breaking into a car would be expensive and unfair, especially because there's no serious penalty for someone who leaves their Glock in the glove compartment and it gets into a criminal's hands.

i am teacher!
Yesterday I was teaching my young relativ how to make "nupp-patent-kude". How is it Englisch? I do not know. It was`nt easiest pattern I have make. However after third trial already was. And then - I teached a woman who used pattern, but she knit tighter as pattern needs. How to work, when you have more stiches but a big desire to follow pattern. I know. However, I try to follow pattern, choose a suitable yarn or needle. I can say, my tightness is normal, like a norm or standard. I used to knit tight too when I was a freshmen and just started knitting. This fault is going better with every day. And my knitting history is`nt short.

Lisa also feels that if you treat your work as an art form, the possibilities of appreciating in advance can expand the way you approach every project (in a very positive way)! She suggests trying appreciating the participants of a workshop or group before they arrive, and watch your relationship with each participant shift.
So here's the challenge: before sitting down to your next art journal page, or your next painting or piece of pottery, try appreciating the experience you are about to have. And if you like that experience, try it before you meet your next group or client. It may change your life!

Help! A Humble Solicitation....
I am in need of:
1. EMT knowledge of an auto accident/ambulance scene, including how the Jaws of Life works and who does them, how the EMT's would remove Lily from her crumpled front seat, etc.
2. Endorsements for the back book cover and front pages : I can't promise every comment will make it to print, but if you've read the story and could kindly offer a sentence or two about why you might have liked it, I'd be very appreciative. You can leave your comment here, or e-mail me at email@example.com.
The title is official: The Light Stays On
I don't believe I would have completed this book, let alone ready to publish it, if it weren't for my blog friends and the incredible support I've received. Thank you.
6 comments:
Here, the jaws of like are operated by the fire department personnel. When they respond to a motor vehicle accident there is always at least a pumper truck and an amublance. I don't really know the workings of it but as an emergency trauma nurse it was always an indication of the severity of injuries.ReplyDelete
As far as your story goes I would say it is a tragic love story all around that will keep you thinking about it long after you have put the book down.
The title is brilliant!!!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the book :-D
ces, this is very sweet of you.ReplyDelete
miladysa, thank you thank you!
*Great* title!! You might want to talk to local EMT's or emergency responders about the jaws-of-life. I love the research that come with books ... I'll be watching a herd of dairy cows get milked soon to help with Shane and Elizabeth. :)ReplyDelete
melissa, i love the research too. i've loved everything about this process except my updated crash course in proper punctuation. the quotes and question marks get tricky!ReplyDelete
I agree to talk to the fire personnel - or perhaps there is an instructional video on YouTube.ReplyDelete
and for the other...
I am a terrible writer and don't know how to express myself in words. Somehow, because everyone was so real...so human...the book touched a deep chord in me. Such real, human, wonderful love between those two.

JEDEC Announces Publication of eMMC Standard Update v4.41
JEDEC Announces Publication of eMMC Standard Update v4.41
JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the global leader in standards development for the microelectronics industry, today announced the publication of JESD84-A441: Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) Product Standard v4.41. Continuing the evolution of eMMC as an industry-leading memory technology, the new v4.41 contains corrections of critical errata found in the previous v4.4 specification, and offers new, optional features that designers may utilize to improve system performance. The v4.41 update is a replacement of v4.4 which is now considered obsolete. JESD84-A441 is available for free download at https://www.jedec.org.
Designed for a wide range of applications in consumer electronics, navigational systems and other industrial uses, eMMC is an embedded non-volatile memory system, comprised of both flash memory and a flash memory controller, which simplifies the application interface design and frees the host processor from low-level flash memory management. This benefits product developers by simplifying the non-volatile memory interface design and qualification process - resulting in a reduction in time-to-market as well as facilitating support for future flash device offerings. Small BGA package sizes and low power consumption make eMMC a viable, low-cost memory solution for mobile and other space-constrained products.
eMMC v4.41 offers new options for enhancing device performance, including a high priority interrupt mechanism (HPI) and host-controlled background operations processing (BO). HPI enables the host device to interrupt a potentially time-consuming operation, such as writing a large file, in order to execute a high-priority read operation from the eMMC, then later return to the interrupted activity. BO allows the eMMC to give an indication to the host device when a background flash clean-up operation is needed to maintain eMMC device performance. The host device can then allocate time for eMMC to perform the background operation in a controlled manner at a convenient time. Both features offer designers additional options to improve device performance for the end user.
"As mobile devices continue to require support for increasing amounts of mass storage memory, JEDEC is pleased to help address the storage demands of the market with eMMC: a low-cost, high-performance solution," said Mian Quddus, Chairman, JEDEC Board of Directors.

Our Light Switch On at the beginning of the month illuminated Chrisp St Market. 120 Children from across 5 local primary schools entertained hundreds of onlookers as they sang Christmas songs and Carols. Afterwards children paraded around the market with their home made lanterns before special guest Jim Fitzpatrick MP turned on the festive lights.
Light Switch-On Lantern Parade
A week later on Sat Dec 9, over 400 local children received gifts as Father Christmas landed his sleigh in Chrisp Street market. Outside, real life reindeers grazed and a brass band played carols to the crowd.
Community Choir, The Poplar Singers, held a good old fashioned community sing a long accompanied by mince pies and hot chocolate at Poplar Union community centre.
By Mid-December, 250 excited kids visited Santa's grotto at the Teviot and Linc community centres. Happy tots received presents from Mr. Claus and then went on to create festive inspired arts and crafts.
Christmas Craft Making
Local resident, Jackie Emin, organised the successful Teviot Christmas Market inside the Teviot Garden. Funds raised went towards the Teviot After School Club. Over 75 people attended. Fresh potatoes and vegetables were on sale direct from the garden. A perfect accompaniment for that Christmas dinner! Mulled wine, mince pies, hot chocolate and a fun tombola complemented festive spirits.
Teviot Garden Christmas Market
This same good cheer continued at the Big Local Aberfeldy event on 16 December at nearby St. Nicholas Church. In the morning, Santa visited the kids where they enjoyed games, music and showed off their design skills creating Christmas cards and decorations. Later that evening, families and residents enjoyed an evening meal together really honing their community spirit.
Our Elders Lunch is an event that we all look forward to. And on 19th December, Poplar Union played host to 140 older guests. Staff rolled up their sleeves and showcased their culinary skills by cooking up a tasty 3 course meal for everyone. Local volunteers served and helped make this event special. Our diners were entertained, enjoyed a two-step and everyone left with chocolatey treat. Who says Christmas is just for the young!
And finally our Basket Brigade Team delivered 62 food baskets to our vulnerable and elderly residents. Residents were so grateful. A further 35 baskets were distributed through the charity Neighbours in Poplar.
Basket Brigade Team
Another Christmas may have come and gone – but we hope these feel good memories last.
Happy New Year!

Learning to live in our 'new normal' since the passing of our daughter while still keeping everything 'normal' to our ever growing and ever entertaining oldest daughter.
Monday, March 5, 2012
I'll take that as a sign.....
Today I recieved a call from my church asking if I would like to meet with a few mommies who in the past few days have gone thru the same sad, life changing situation that I have gone thru, they now have angel babies as well. I have always liked to help people and I am so thankful for this opportunity to help other mommies cope and go thru all the emotions and stages of grief. It has really helped me to talk about Emmaliese and to give everyone the chance to get to know such an incredible strong brave beautiful spirit. In my last post I wrote that I wanted to make both my daughters proud and when I got this call, it was like a sign telling me that I was on the right path in doing that. I want to help others who feel lost and hopeless find the beauty in everything. I want them to look at the memories that they have of their babies and for that to do what Emmaliese's memory did to me, she helped me find the beauty in everything! Ill keep you all updated.

Recently a conversation arose and I was asked by a friend. "I thought one of the "first rules" was that a gun should always be kept unloaded in the home (ammo perhaps right next to it, but unloaded)"
The following is my answer to both my friend and to my readers.
They were right, the NRA third safety rule states that you keep a gun unloaded until ready to use it.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
That is the fulcrum. But the real question is what does "ready to use" mean. Many instructors will point out that a self defense firearm in essence needs to be ready to be used.
To place some hyperbole; let's look at that rule when applied to firearm carried on one's person. One would not draw their firearm, load it & chamber it. All while a bad guy is bearing down. In this situation ready-to-use is loaded.
So ready-to-use blurs a little when applied to self-defense at any notice. All non-self defense weapons should always be unloaded – until ready to use. All self-defense weapons should be unloaded until ready to use. However, you should always be ready to use a self-defense weapon (unless you have the means to prophesy when you will need to use such a weapon). In which case, why would you be at place x at time y if you knew there was a threat. That'd just be foolish. Sadly, we do not know when someone is going to mug us on the street or break into our home to rape, steal and murder – one must always be on guard.
Now mind you everyone's situation is unique. What works for me may not work for you. Where you live makes a big difference. Living in a bad neighborhood with frequent break-ins may constitute more readiness. Children may also apply a varying factor.
My personal policy is this: choose the highest level of readiness that you are able to implement safely.
If it were just yourself or other adults that are trained to use firearms, than keeping self-defense arms loaded and easily accessible makes the most sense. One might have to make allowances for small children, choosing to keep their firearms unloaded at night but easily accessible. However, if one chooses such an option than one must make sure they practice and are able to quickly grab and load their firearm. One must also be aware that they will be behind the 8-ball in the readiness curve.
One way to practice this regularly is to carry your firearm daily. This necessitates loading your firearm when you put it on. Thus building skills of loading a magazine and chambering a round through daily repetition. Keep your firearm and your magazine in the same locations. Even in the dark your hands should know where each are and how to mate the two together – properly and quickly.
Most instructors I've dealt with strongly advocate keeping the firearm on your person as the safest solution. No children, strangers, etc are going to unwittingly find your gun and hurt themselves if it is on your person. A lot also depends on the people in your house. If you have very small children (infants and toddlers) you may be able to keep a loaded firearm by securing it in a high location. However, when your children are somewhat older that will not be acceptable – as children will find a way to anywhere. One might invest in a safe, lock or other firearm storage. What one does also depends on the nature of one's children. A well trained child that is responsible may be able to be given their own .22LR or pellet gun at a young age. Meanwhile, a 21 yr old irresponsible son may require that you keep your firearms locked up.
I'll be frank my methods are a compromise on my readiness. In part due to the fact that we rent and therefore I am not able to modify my home as I would like, nor in a position to afford too. My future hope is to train my children to be knowledgeable and safe with firearms. So that they too will be able to protect themselves. But I will always have checks and balances because even if I train my children I will never be able to gaurantee that their friends have been properly raised. That's my personal choice.
Many are comfortable with a so-called "cocked and locked" weapon. Glock fans will chime in that they don't even have theirs locked. Such is the pinnacle state of readiness. It is not wrong, so long as one is aware of what such readiness means and has implemented an environment of safety. Likewise, for those who choose not to be in quite such a ready state (unloaded gun or locked gun) due to specific circumstances. Such a decision is not wrong, so long as the owner is aware of the fact that such reduces their readiness, and trains to compensate for such lowered readiness. The last thing you want is to be fumbling in the dark trying to find a magazine to load into your handgun in the presence of a criminal.
It is not even stupid to not own a firearm (though I think most families should). So long as you are aware of, and comfortable with, the ramifications of the decision. To not own a firearm because of ignorance or false facts is a shame (such as the highly touted statement that "if you own a gun it is more likely to be used against you" – absolutely not true). Those are foolish reasons to not own a firearm. However, if one says "I am content in my life or afterlife and I choose not to save my life at the expense of another's life." Such is not a foolish reason to not own a firearm. But I will chime in that it may not (and often is not) your life that you protect with a firearm. Rather it may be the life of a loved one or other innocent.

It's not my art, actually--just something I found on Google and figured I'd share, since it just fit for many reasons. I'd like to get into the digital drawing scene, but I have special needs that require a Cintiq, which is kind of expensive. Sorry about that, so here's a disclaimer: unless I say a piece of art is by me, it's not my art. And that being said, here's something that is mine, from 2013. Guess I should post in the creativity board as well, eh?
EDIT: My art thread is made and has stuff to look at~
It is by descending into the pits of one's personal hells to face them, conquer them, and make them part of one's strength that one realizes what's called "true power."

Evil Angel
Genre: Fetish, Gonzo
Director: Dana Vespoli
Cast: Sheena Shaw, Manuel Ferrara, Aiden Starr, Justine Joli, Dana Vespoli, Chad Diamond (gimp role, non-sex), Allie Haze, Steven St. Croix, Johnny Castle
Length: 204:42 minutes
Date of Production: 2013
Extras: The best extra was a short, 6:32 minute long Behind the Scenes feature, even if it only covered scene #2. The other extras included a company trailer for the website, some photogalleries from the scenes, filmographies, and few company website links was all.
Condoms: None
Audio/Video Quality: Fluid was presented in anamorphic widescreen as shot by director Dana Vespoli for Evil Angel. The visual elements showed some artistic touches but there was enough lighting and steady camera work to pull it all together nicely. The ladies looked good and the editing was rarely abrupt, Dana showing she has picked up more than a few tips in her quest to be taken seriously as a director. There was a company watermark on the lower right hand corner of the screen but it did not bother me nearly as much as it seems to bug some, just keep that in mind if this is an issue for you. The aural components of the show were basic and not overly distinctive but I could hear the cast going at it, whispering sexual comments toward one another and otherwise providing some ear candy worth listening to.
Body of Review: Dana Vespoli has made some waves as a talented director, her upcoming works for Evil Angel showing there is a lot more to her appeal than simply a smoking hot body and sex skills. Her latest flick as director for the company is called Fluid and will come out next week, Dana providing a seriously interesting look at fetish sex involving role playing, BDSM, and various uses of water. While this is not my big thing, I have long admired the young lady for being able to creatively instill a strokable experience in all sorts of other fuck flicks, the casting alone here giving it a lot of staying power. Going into the movie, I had little idea of what to expect, my reward for picking this one up blindly being some kinky ideas to appreciate for a long time to come.
The company website described the movie like this: "Kinky sensualist Dana Vespoli, an exotically gorgeous sex performer, has become noted in recent years for her fearless explorations as a XXX director. The newest female member of the elite Evil Angel roster, Dana's imaginative features and hard-core, dangerous gonzo scenes stretch the limits of the adult-movie mainstream. "Fluid," her latest all-sex feature, is an extended four-scene riff on the title in all its connotations - ranging from sensuous showers and swimming pool tease to bodily fluids like saliva and cum to twisted rituals of liquid-immersive power exchange. Joining her are several of the porn industry's leading-edge dominants and submissives, all committed to their erotic needs. Spit, sex, water bondage and breath play... how far will they go to please their partners? Gorgeous, athletic slut Sheena Shaw luxuriates under a gushing waterfall, then totally gives herself to big-cocked stud Manuel Ferrara in a nasty POV scene in which Sheena's asshole gets deeply probed by Manuel's bare foot! Busty blonde domme Aiden Starr uses rope bondage, waterboarding, extreme bathtub torment and her slave boy, Chad Diamond, to exert complete control over pale, fleshy redhead Justine Joli. Beautiful brunette model Allie Haze enjoys a saliva-soaked session of abuse from older stud Steven St. Croix. Finally, Dana treats herself to some underwater cocksucking and a poolside ass reaming courtesy of Johnny Castle; the scene climaxes in a hot fountain of semen. Viewers who like flowing and unpredictable sex should keep a towel handy - Dana Vespoli's "Fluid" is one very wet adventure." Here's a brief look at the scenes by cast and action, noting that no condoms were used for those still interested:
Scene One: Sheena Shaw, an anal princess who has been very active of late, was up first as she teased in and around the pool. Her picture on the front cover was displayed on the upper right hand corner, her blue thong riding deep into her ass crack as water poured down on her from a waterfall, the gal initially starting off in a tight yellow dress that left nothing to the imagination. I have to hand it to the director that she emphasized Sheena's ass enough to make it stand out as larger than usual, the tease outside proving to be extensive and most strokable. The flexible lass with the fuckable ass then moved inside to give Manuel Ferrara a show, no drying off or wardrobe changes as she crawled over to slob his knob so aggressively. Her eye contact in the POV portion of the scene was great, the gal using her feet to rub him the right way before her mouth and hand to gland action excited him even more. She did seem to lick his ass or at least his taint, soon bending over to mount his cock in her ass for a very active ride. She did some taste testing and the couple moved about as he porked her with a sense of abandon, her shaven pussy dripping with anticipation as their chemistry continued. The POV angle was dispensed with ala the Raw series midway through, Manuel setting down the camera to show them both in a long shot camera angle going at it. He then used his foot in her ass which appealed to her more than it did to me, her dirty talk a nice touch however, as was her superior ending hummer to drained his dragon of genetic juice, the baby batter freely flowing all over her face by her hands.
Scene Two: Aiden Starr, the blond seen on the lower right and left corners of the front cover, was up next dominating redheaded hotty Justine Joli. The scene started with Aiden paddling Justine, some foot play and rope bondage on the floor showing which was in charge. Justine wore a gag and did as she was told, Dana Vespoli joining in part way through to don a strap on dildo to take turns with Aiden plowing the hotty. As an aside, Chad Diamond played a masked gimp, my least favorite part of the scene being the two sessions of water boarding where Aiden pushed Justine's limits with some breath play. Of interest was Justine's bald beaver and some clamp on the labia play, the fingering and fucking with the toys giving the cutie a mixture of pleasure to go with the pain. There was face sitting and more toy use too, the overall scene stimulating even if a bit unsettling.
Scene Three: Allie Haze, the attractive young lady featured on the center of the front cover, was up next with Steven St. Croix, her sexy lingerie and fishnet stockings designed to play up her youth while Steven was dominating her on the couch in the house. He had her suck his fingers and left the messy spit all over her face, her eye contact enhancing the action as she proved to be totally under his spell. He fingered her snatch and gobbled her gash, feeding her increasing amounts of her own juices before she devoured his pecker orally. The throating action and spitting punctuated the action too, eventually leading to him pounding her pussy when her head was down and her ass was in the air. She had a small pubic patch and enjoyed him choking her, some water boarding included here as well. Otherwise, it ended when he beat off a wad of population pudding all over her face, the spunk not swallowed before she cleaned him up orally.
Scene Four: Dana Vespoli, the heavily tattooed hotty director seen in her red dress on the middle of the left side of the front cover, was up last out by the pool with Johnny Castle. She watched him cleaning the pool and started seducing him by eating a banana, savoring it like a cock to draw his attention from his duties. There was an element of humor in his facial expressions but I did not get the impression this was what she was shooting for, the couple soon jumping each other in the pool where they gave each other some head before he fucked her ass. Dana pushed back to meet his thrusts and gave great eye contact, her intensity enhancing it for me. She then blew him again and they moved into the house, some armpit smelling/licking/and playing showing that the director was open to new ideas. There was some foot fetish action too but not as prolonged or pronounced, Dana's nut nuzzling and additional anal positions eventually leading to her jerking out his ball batter on her crotch, Dana feeding herself some before he sucked her feet.

Summary: Fluid by director Dana Vespoli for Evil Angel earned a modest rating of Recommended from me, the amount of dedicated kink probably best suited for those with specific needs in their porn. The change of pace was not in vain however, the cast apparently appreciating one another as well as the acts enough to generate plenty of chemistry while covering most of the other bases quite well. All the ladies looked good enough to fuck and fans of "wet" sex should check this one out as something decidedly off the beaten path, the first scene the best for a general audience but the others adding some spice too. In short, Fluid showed the director willing to try new things in giving her audience ample choices of material to select from, the gal apparently not content with just shooting generic porn to liven things up.

Judging by a glance at their forks, the restaurants that appear in this weekend's Food and Drink Issue might not seem so different from one another. Those forks you see above are just . . . forks, right? That's not how the new management of Tavern on the Green sees things. As Max Chafkin writes, the restaurateurs are thinking very carefully about every contending fork's curvature and heft, ridges and tines — and whether it will make Tavern on the Green a success.
That made us wonder about the flatware at the other locations in our restaurant-themed issue — does a place known for its steak frites need a different fork than one where the chefs use tweezers in the kitchen?
See if you can match the forks below to the following establishments:
(1) Balthazar in New York, a bistro that serves 1,247 people on a slow day
(2) Bar Sajor in Seattle, home to a "chewy but never rubbery" octopus dish
(3) Babbo in New York, whose owner, Mario Batali, prefers spicy dishes after a long night of cooking
(4) Highlands Bar and Grill in Birmingham, Ala., where the mayor regularly partakes of its sophisticated Southern cuisine
(5) Jean-Georges in New York, whose chefs regard food preparation as "almost like doing surgery"
Answers are at bottom.

However, in some quantizer designs, the concepts of granular error and overload error may not apply (e.g., for a quantizer with a limited range of input data or with a countably
Moreover, signal_value = ((sum((abs(fft_signal(Nw:Nw+2))).^2))/3) Why are you dividing the signal power by 3? Consequently, the variance of the quantization error due to FFT algorithm is given by 4(N-1)( Δ2/12)=N(Δ2/3)(approximately) Thus, the variance of quantization error due to FFT algorithm is equal to the variance Granular distortion and overload distortion[edit] Often the design of a quantizer involves supporting only a limited range of possible output values and performing clipping to limit the output to this range Round Off Noise In Dsp Examples of fields where this limitation applies include electronics (due to electrons), optics (due to photons), biology (due to DNA), physics (due to Planck limits) and chemistry (due to molecules).

The essential property of a quantizer is that it has a countable set of possible output values that has fewer members than the set of possible input values.

At lower amplitudes the quantization error becomes dependent on the input signal, resulting in distortion. Quantization Of Filter Coefficients In actuality, the quantization error (for quantizers defined as described here) is deterministically related to the signal rather than being independent of it.[8] Thus, periodic signals can create periodic quantization noise. The calculations above, however, assume a completely filled input channel.
One way to do this is to associate each quantization index k {\displaystyle k} with a binary codeword c k {\displaystyle c_{k}} . It is a non-linear operation btw.

****A personal favourite and major point of reference for me. So imagine my horror when my Wife dropped the bombshell that she hadn't seen it. Before she even finished the sentence I was already out of my chair heading for the movie room, I picked up the tape and she experienced the magic.
I have always loved this movie, and as a fellow collector I can really relate to the John Cusack's character. His love for all things vinyl is exactly the same as mine for VHS. The way he organises his shelves to the way he's always ranking them in order of top 5, it's just like my collection.
In my opinion this is one of Jack Black's best performances. Although not a major part in the film he is still integral to the key funny scenes and superb finale, which probably launched his career. The cameos are fantastic in this too, from Tim Robbins to Joan Cusack to Catherine Zeta Jones etc.
I'm a huge Cusack fan, most notably his 80's work but this one is a cracker that I like to revisit a lot.
This is just one of those great break-up movies that can proudly stand among the likes of Almost Famous, Swingers and so on. I don't need to say much more as you're all probably aware of it's greatness, unlike my Wife. But that has now been corrected.
