Justin Bieber Gets His Butt Whipped by Zach Galifianakis… Literally [VIDEO]
Greatest Video Ever! Errant superstar Justin Bieber, who as of late has made more headlines for smoking, reckless driving and going shirtless than for his music, is in on the joke!
He proved that when he allowed actor/comedian Zach Galifianakis to whip his butt -- literally!
The singer participated in this brilliant Funny or Die skit, serving as the guest on Galifianakis' hilariously awkward interview show 'Between Two Ferns.' Not only was The Biebs grilled about what it's like to be cocky, he was the recipient of a beating.
Clearly, The Biebs has a sense of humor about his station in life. The interview is purposefully awkward, where the singer gives off a vacant, distant stare and answers questions with single syllable responses.
In between asking The Biebs about who he is dating and how his hair factors into his music, Galifianakis takes off his belt and administers a beating.
It was the comedian who attempted to right The Biebs' wrongs and to force him to repent for his indiscretions.
It's been a rough week for Da Biebs and his rump. First, he loses his pants. Then gets a beating.
We'd love to see Biebs team up with Galifianakis and the rest of the Wolf Pack for another 'The Hangover' sequel. The Biebs could take out Leslie Chow in a heartbeat... we think!

Jitney Cast Reflects on Pittsburgh Trip• April 16, 2013 Share:
Theater Professor Dwight Watson led the students in the cast of August Wilson's award-winning play Jitney on a tour of the Hill District of Pittsburgh, which is the setting of the play. The trip provided context and opened the eyes of the actors as they prepared for the production.
Here are the actors' reflections on their immersion trip to Pittsburgh.
A.J. Akinribade '15 stars as Youngblood
"What intrigued me the most during our Pittsburgh trip was the authenticity of August Wilson's work. While we toured the Hill District and the old stomping grounds of the world-renowned playwright, his words came to life! From the run-down buildings to the street signs, from the drivers of the jitney station to the house with the red door, from the mom and pop meal and candy shop to the rules on the board—the Hill District of Pittsburgh today is still the same Wilson explored when writing his ten-play cycle. Our engagement with the jitney station completed the scope. The personality of the drivers, their interactions, and the community's dependency on their service explained to us how realistic Wilson meant for Jitney to be."
Ryan Lutz '13 stars as Philmore
"'Time go along and it come around. It don't never stop' (August Wilson). Our trip to Pittsburgh with the Jitney cast was essential for our production of the play, but also in our discovery of one of the most lyrical playwrights in contemporary America. I think the entire cast agrees that the trip went by in a flash. However, the brevity of the trip was highlighted by numerous instances of discovery about the depth of August Wilson's play…. it hit everyone when we were standing in an operating jitney station. We heard the phone ring and there was a collective gasp. An older jitney driver pushed against his cane as his knobby joints strained to get up. He walked over to the phone and picked it up. "Car service," he said—just like Wilson wrote it in the play. Just being in that station, soaking up the atmosphere, listening to the different personalities coming in and out of the door made every hour spent in rehearsal seem worth it, and then some. In that moment we realized that it was more than just a play we were performing."
A.J. Clark '16 stars as Booster
"Witnessing the jitney station in action was the most profound experience I had there. To see that it was alive and functioning just as August Wilson had expressed in his writing made me believe in the play. To notice that men were actually depending on jitneying for their livelihood; to know that these men could be harmed while jitneying; to know that these men have been at it for years."
Devan James Young '13 stars as Doub
"These past few days the cast of Jitney got to live and breathe in the culture and environment of the city of Pittsburgh. This experience was something I'll never forget. Visiting the jitney station made me realize what exactly the station represents: community. Everyone inside of the station had 10+ years of jitney experience; they joked with each other; they helped one older man who could not walk to get the last piece of sweet potato pie; they had a wall full of pictures of former jitney drivers. After leaving the station I came to the conclusion that the jitney station isn't just important to the community but to each driver—they must live and work together to keep everything running smoothly."
Joe Mount '15 is the play's Stage Manager
"First off, going to Pittsburgh was such a cool experience! Every part of the trip built on the last, culminating with the performance on the August Wilson stage. But while that was an incredible opportunity, our trip to the jitney station stands out in my mind. DJ and I were talking about the station later that day, and we started discussing race. It was interesting to watch as each person came through the door and saw me – this white kid in a jitney station, but it was also disconcerting. After mentioning this to DJ he told me that's basically how he felt every time he goes to Wal-Mart here in Crawfordsville. I suppose I just take it for granted what it must feel like to be a racial minority, but I'm glad I was able to experience those feelings. Although everyone we came into contact with was very friendly, I couldn't help but feel as though I were trespassing at times. The trip opened my eyes to that, and made me more sensitive to the race issue. It was an invaluable experience."
Michael Hodge '13 stars as Fielding
"The Pittsburgh trip made it real. Seeing Pittsburgh and the jitney station gave new life to the play in my eyes. The characters in the play are easier to understand, but so are the people whose phone calls the jitney drivers answer. I got the chance to see a part of their everyday lives, even if it was just by seeing where they lived. This aspect of the trip also added significance to Becker's final speeches to the jitney drivers. I got to see part of the community that he sought to protect, even if it was after the events of the play. Becker's desire to help the community became real. By seeing and walking through the streets where his station operated, I gained a better understanding of Becker's choice to fight back."
Edward Evans, Jr. '13 stars as Becker
"We had the opportunity to see Jitney through the lens of August Wilson (or as much of a lens that is possible). We rode down many of the same streets referenced in the play: Wylie, Bedford, Webster, Dinwidee, etc. We saw the Irene Kaufman Settlement House and August Wilson's birth home. We saw two jitney stations! It is one thing to read a play, rehearse lines, and imagine what August Wilson is trying to portray. However, there is unparalleled power in immersing yourself in the life of the author and in interacting with the people that truly jitney for their livelihood. This full immersion has helped me to not only put Jitney into perspective but to have a more profound appreciation of theater in general. When I perform this play for Wabash, I will do my best to give the audience what I experienced in Pittsburgh. This is a trip I will treasure forever."
Tyler Griffin '13 stars as Turnbo
"One of the most powerful and rewarding experiences came as we sat and listened to the stories of the Jitney drivers just a few feet away from the playwright's [Wilson] birthplace. To the naked eye, a bunch of older black men in shoddy, run down, illegal operation, but to the neighborhood matriarch or the single mother down her luck, their service is that small glimmer of hope. They were the adhesive to a struggling, but incredibly strong and resilient community. Few actors actually get to see their scripts awaken from their slumber and become a reality. The streets, the voices, the sentiments, every word resurrected from their crumpled pages and spoke volumes to not only our character development, but to our own personal growth. God, it sounds cheesy, but our Pittsburgh experience was simply life-changing."
Greg Huey '12 is the play's Assistant to the Director
"While at the jitney station I observed the diversity of the jitney drivers. While a majority of the drivers present at the time of our visit were in the same age group, there were drivers there from other generations. It was also interesting seeing that there was a female jitney driver since there are none in the play. While some of the drivers welcomed us to immerse in a community and culture that is uniquely their own, others were not as thrilled about the idea. The thing that was striking about this was despite their differences and varying points of view you could still sense that they were a community. This reminded me much of the sense of community and culture of not only the diverse cast of Jitney, but of Wabash College as well. It reminded me that although I have graduated that I still am and will always be a part of this community. This trip and the overall experience of working with the cast reminded me that although I am not at Wabash any longer that I am not done learning."

Captain's ReportTested by Capt. Bob SmithOn a fine November morning in Carolina Beach, NC, I waited with Scott Harris, VP of Sales and Engineering at McKee Craft, and the rest of the crew sipping warm coffee and waiting for the fog to clear out. It finally lifted after two hours and we set off to test one of two new models from McKee.The Freedom 24 is the little sister of the tournament class fishing boat they have, the Freedom 28. Pulling into the slip next to the 28, they are literally nose-to-nose in height at the bow and appear identical at first glance. Under close observation, you begin to see some of the differences like the trailerable 8'6" beam. This model comes to you with all the features of the Freedom 28, so you certainly can fish the boat like the best.SpecsShe measures 24'0" overall and needs 22" of clearance when going into the shallows. This "unsinkable" model weighs in at 3600 pounds dry and can handle up to 10 people for a long day of fishing. She is designed to carry up to a maximum of 400-hp combined and needs a minimum of 225 horses in a single drive arrangement. She has a high interior freeboard ranging from 26"-36" making it very safe to move around, even in rough wave action. Her sharp bow entry and 24.5 degrees of deadrise will also give you a smoother ride and greater agility. FeaturesThe Freedom 24 comes loaded with all the needed features for a successful trip. In fact, McKee Craft doesn't even have an options list. They do have lots of room for the addition of flat panel displays and a riser on the top of the helm for a compass. Her pressure foam filled construction allows McKee to give you a ten year hull warranty. Wrap-around bolsters mean you can fight a fish from the bow to the stern and not have skid marks on your thighs when you finish. Toe kick space is 3 ½" around the entire deck. The livewell system is a 52-gallon lighted box and the fish boxes are outfitted with macerators. The fresh and saltwater washdowns are on retractable coils so you don't have to keep stepping over the hoses. The cockpit is lit with a florescent light over the helm, one spot on the front of the T-top and two on the back. Tackle can be stored in a two-drawer tackle box or a center three-drawer area. There are plenty more standard features on this model, too many to try to go through in this article.Up on the BowThe anchor locker has locks to hold the anchor in place in the rough stuff. The bow rails are recessed, as well as the pop-up cleats to prevent snagging your lines. In the bow, you have a huge 300-quart insulated box for fish or whatever you want to keep cold. The HelmThe helm console has a huge dry storage area that can be fitted with a porta-potti. Tilt hydraulic steering is standard fare on this model as is the T-top with more rod rocket launchers. A lockable electronics box adds space for more gear and is mounted in the T-top. Performance NumbersWhen we finally were able to test the 24, she proved she could jump up onto plane in just 3.2 seconds, and she was moving past thirty miles per hour in less than 6.9 seconds. At 3000 rpms, she was cruising along just under 17 mph burning about 3 gallons per hour. At full throttle the 24 topped out at around 6200 rpms running 46 miles per hour and burning around 15.6 gph. Scott and I felt like he needed to do some more work with engine position and props, and he mentioned that this boat is capable of better than 50 mph when dialed in.HandlingUnderway, she was a pleasure to maneuver in the marina and was eager to attack the rolling surf out of the cut into the Atlantic Ocean. We were running new models of Honda's 150 E-Spec Four Strokes with 19 pitch props. On our test run she could be set on course and would hold the bearing even if you unwisely let go of the wheel. The 24 cut hard turns and dove through large wakes, never shedding a drop in the cockpit. The cockpit is designed to shed the water to the sides of the deck and quickly out the scuppers. Several large rollers had us landing quite firmly, but without the bone-jarring crash you might expect from the challenge. Sure, I had to prepare for the landing, but I didn't hit the floor like I have with some other rides. I figured out that I either was standing too close to the helm or that the position needed some knee room. I crashed my knees into the center console, enough to pay attention the next time around. The only real complaint I could try to come up with was the long step from the front fold-down step to the bow platform, but that really is getting too picky.If fishability, safety and ride in a complete package is important to you, the new Freedom 24 from McKee Craft should be high on your list of boats to test drive.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the McKee Craft Freedom 24 is 40.3 mph (64.9 kph), burning 20.9 gallons per hour (gph) or 79.11 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the McKee Craft Freedom 24 is 23.1 mph (37.2 kph), and the boat gets 3.08 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.31 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 499 miles (803.06 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 150-hp Honda 4-stroke (outboards).

Difference between revisions of "Alpine"
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
[[Category:Internet and Email (English)]]
[[Category:Internet and Email (English)]]
Revision as of 17:49, 18 October 2009
Alpine is based on pine, a text-based E-mail and newsclient that was originally released by the university of Washington in 1991. Right now, this wiki page is just a quick and dirty guide to configuring Alpine to use with a remote mailserver using IMAP.
Alpine is a package in Extra with some light dependencies, libldap, heimdal>=1.2, and gettext but you can grab them all with:
pacman -S alpine
You might also want to grab something to check your spelling, like:
pacman -S aspell
Configuration for use with IMAP
Alpine can be configured directly from the config file in your home folder called ".pinerc", but it's usually easier to use the in program configuration tools (which are pretty comprehensive anyway). You can also create a system wide pinerc file if you want to, but that's beyond the scope of this page.
To start alpine call up a console or a terminal emulator and type, you guessed it:
You will see the main menu for alpine, you can select various sub-menus by moving your cursor with the arrow keys. You should also note that a list of handy commands is given at the bottom of the screen including "?" for built in help (see below).
To get to the configuration options we want to type "S" for "setup" and then "C" for "config"(or you can select these by using the arrow keys and return) At the top of your screen you will see various lines you can edit by pressing "C", for "change value" (I've pasted an example in below), you'll probably want to fill in your name, the name of your mailserver in "User Domain" (although you might have to override this later, more on that later), your SMTP server for sending mail and, if you want to, the location of things like your saved message folder and postponed message folder.
Some notes on setting up your SMTP server, as you can see below I've specified my mailserver and which port to connect to, you also need to specify your username on that server (probably your e-mail address) and if you are using some method of encryption ssl or tls note the format:
mailserver.org:portnumber/user=username/ssl (or tls)
Also note the format for where I've told Alpine to keep my saved and postponed messages, since I want them stored on the mailserver, and not locally, I've added an entry with form:
You need to put the full entry you've specified for your SMTP Server into "{}" before the path name to the folder on the mailserver.
Personal Name = Jim Bob User Domain = mailserver.org SMTP Server (for sending) = mailserver.org:465/user=jimbob123/ssl NNTP Server (for news) = <No Value Set> Inbox Path = <No Value Set: using "inbox"> Incoming Archive Folders = <No Value Set> Pruned Folders = <No Value Set> Default Fcc (File carbon copy) = {mailserver.org:465/user=jimbob123/ssl}~/mail/sent-mail Default Saved Message Folder = <No Value Set: using "saved-messages"> Postponed Folder = {mailserver.org:465/user=jimbob123/ssl}~/mail/drafts Read Message Folder = <No Value Set> Form Letter Folder = <No Value Set> Trash Folder = <No Value Set: using "Trash"> Literal Signature = <No Value Set> Signature File = <No Value Set: using ".signature"> Feature List =
In this day and age, you probably want to set alpine up receive e-mails from another server using imap or pop, to do this we need to enable some things, in particular, check the boxes in the section "Folder Preferences" for "Enable Incoming Folders Collection" and "Enable Incoming Folders Checking". There's a bunch of other fun stuff to configure, but you can come back to that later.
Now from the main menu type "L" to open "Folder List", then select "Incoming Folders". Now you'll probably see your default inbox, which I'm assuming you'll want to leave alone in case you receive local mail. To add another folder to receive mail from a remote server type "A" to add a folder.
Alpine prompts you for "name of server to contain folder", enter your mailserver with the format:
where mailserver.org is the name of your mailserver, 993 should be replaced by the proper port to connect to, jimbob123 should be replaced by your username (probably your e-mail address) and ssl should be replaced by tls if you are using tls instead of ssl.
Now it will prompt you for the name of the folder on you mailserver to use, it's probably "INBOX" and if it isn't hopefully you can find out from your mail provider what it is.
Then it will ask you for a nickname, type whatever you want to call the folder. At this point you might get prompted for your password on the mailserver, enter it and you should be able to read e-mail!
Setting up Other Imap folders
Great, now you can read your INBOX, but what about the REST of your Imap folders? We'll fix that know:
Type "E" to exit setup and make sure that you save the changes. This should put you back at the main menu type "S" again to bring up the setup menu, but this time pick "L" for collectionLists.
Enter your mailserver info below using the format you should be getting used to by now:
Nickname : My Mailserver Server : mailserver.org:993/user=jimbob123/ssl Path : ~/mail/ View :
Fill in the fields above to add a Folder Collection to your COLLECTION LIST screen. Use the "^G" command to get help specific to each item, and use "^X" when finished.
Note that "Path" is the path on the remote server and you DON'T have to write:
You only need to give the local path on the mailserver (in this case ~/mail/)
Setting Up A Proper Return Address
If you've followed the steps above you can read and write e-mails, but you're probably not specifying your return address correctly, in fact, you will specify you return address properly if and only if the user name on the host computer which is run alpine is the same as your e-mail address on the mail server. In order to fix this we edit the configuration again (type "M" for main menu, type "S" for setup, and "C" for configuration). Then find "Customized Headers" (either use the "Whereis" command to search, or page down a few pages to find this) and change the value to
From: Jim Bob <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Of course, replace Jim Bob with your name and put your proper e-mail address in the <>. While this works, the behavior of alpine with respect to this field is somewhat complex if you want now more use:
Built in Help
To see built-in help files on just about anything you can type "?", if you have an item highlighted, this will give you help on that item.
What else can you configure?
Almost anything, in particular you can specify which colors to use, (from the main menu "S" for set up "K" for colors ... should be natural for KDE users), a browser to open external links (this is in the "Config" setup that we've previously been modifying"), an alternate text editor to use, different folder views, etc.
External Links
Official Alpine Page this page includes links to un-official Alpine pages that have some handy tutorials (argue better than the one I've provided here), hit "C" to open the config menu.
Printing from Alpine
Printing from Alpine directly to lpr does not work with special characters like German Umlauts in the Mail to be printed. The a2ps program does help:
pacman -S a2ps
You can then edit ~/.pinerc:
# Your default printer selection printer=<YOURPRINTER> [] a2ps -q --center-title --footer -P<YOURPRINTER> # List of special print commands personal-print-command=<YOURPRINTER> [] a2ps -q --center-title --footer -P<YOURPRINTER> # Which category default print command is in personal-print-category=3
Replace <YOURPRINTER> with the name of your printer. Note that these settings can also be applied in the setup UI of Alpine. See the manpage of a2ps for more configuration options.

There might not be any new footage in this recent presentation of Respawn's Titanfall, but it's a fun video nonetheless—20 minutes of concept art, gameplay, and discussion about the upcoming shooter, presented by Respawn community manager Abbie Heppe at the EB Games Expo in Australia this weekend.
Titanfall, slated for release on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC next year, is certainly looking impressive. I got to play some of the mech-stuffed shooter at PAX last month, and although I'm not a shooter person (like, at all), I can totally see the appeal here—double-jumps and wall-bouncing add an interesting vertical element to the chaos, and blasting your enemies with a giant metal Titan is certainly satisfying.
It looks fantastic, too. The folks at Respawn—many of whom helped create the titanic franchise Call of Duty back when they were at Infinity Ward—have brought their A game here.

Cocktail Anyone? When to Start HIV Meds ... or Not

As many of you know, I have been HIV positive since May 2007. These last six years have been insane to say the least. They have been a period of introspection, challenges, education and growth.
The Last Goodbye
February 1, 2012
"I came to say my goodbye." The words struck like a sledgehammer right to the gut. Did I just hear what I thought I heard? Old friends and newcomers were taken aback in an almost audible gasp. Those were the words of Mike ___________ as he checked in with our group of men that attend "LIFE Experience".
What Budget Cuts Look Like: A World AIDS Week Visit to Urgent Care
December 1, 2011
Tears streamed down my face as I sat in one of the leading HIV research clinics in the U.S., Ward 86 at San Francisco's General Hospital. I was almost in a state of panic because I feared that I had acquired a nice touch of "walking pneumonia." It was a fearful experience exacerbated by the fact that for the first time ever, I was instructed to wear a face mask for safety. That one act alone made me feel embarrassed, unworthy, isolated. That some part of me was severely broken. I knew that it was a precaution but it only served to feed one of my darkest fears: that I had acquired an HIV-related disease.
Disclosure: An Intensely Personal Decision
October 27, 2011
Disclosure ... It is the question that haunts all people battling HIV. Who to disclose to. What to disclose. When to disclose and so on. There is no right or wrong answer as to whether or not a person discloses their HIV status to other people (EXCEPT a sexual partner where disclosure, in my opinion, is not only morally right but legally required). The best answer, in my opinion then is, disclosure comes when and if the individual is comfortable sharing this information.
The Ninja Report
August 28, 2011
First and foremost, because I am known as Frankie NINJA. Named by The Legendary Icon "Mother" Willi Ninja, of Madonna's "Vogue" and "Paris is Burning" fame, in 1997 when I did not even know who Willi was, is, or would be.
The Ninja Report
Frankie Ninja
Frankie Ninja is a paradox defying description. Proving that you should never judge a book by its cover.
Born in Miami, Florida, living in San Francisco since 1996, he's a divorced father and a college graduate; a Pilot/Flight Engineer, Aircraft Technician, Health Educator and Public Speaker.
Fighting for human rights, particularly those of people with HIV/AIDS and minorities, he arrived to "the scene" in 1997 after meeting Legendary Icon "Mother" Willi Ninja of The Legendary House of Ninja (April 12, 1961 - September 2, 2006 -- Who sadly passed due to AIDS). Fast friends, Willi quickly became Frankie's mentor and big brother.
At 44, Frankie has been HIV+ since May, 2007. As a survivor, his calling is to ensure that Willi's legacy continues; and to reduce or end this scourge on society known as HIV/AIDS through education and participation.
In Willi's honor, this blog, for you, will be known as "The Ninja Report."

Halloween is quickly approaching, but my mind is racing ahead to Christmas.
Halloween is quickly approaching, but my mind is racing ahead to Christmas. While I do think that retailers put out displays much too early, I have to admit that I secretly like to see what is new to decorate for Christmas.
I start decorating my home the first weekend of November. I never have Thanksgiving at my house and since I live alone, I can get to work early. There is just something about Christmas that implies a little bit of romance and magic. I love all the trees decorated in various themes and the rich colors and sparkle. Upon seeing a snow globe, I immediately turn into a five year old and have to shake it to see the snow fall. Christmas seems to touch that inner child in us all that never truly grows up.
While I enjoy all the fancy decorations at retail stores, I can't help but adore simple decorations that you can make yourself without much effort. Pine cone wreaths are among my favorites. I also swoon over handmade Christmas ornaments that have old-fashion charm. Popcorn garland and gingerbread men ornaments just remind me of home. The simple country girl in me loves plaid ribbon tied in big fluffy bows or a simple package wrapped in string.
Then however, I also have another side to me too. The frou-frou me that loves all thing sparkly and GLAM! To see mercury glass lit up with white lights, surrounded with yards and yards of tulle just drives me wild! Color, texture, scents, and low lights at the holiday make a home sing with joy.
No matter what your Christmas decorating style is this season…revel in it and make your space uniquely yours.

What is your fantasy?
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?

He got so horny...

Link to one of my stories of a past lover of mine. We still keep in touch through facebook, she is married now and has a daughter.
Our memories will always be pleasant memories, would never hook up as it would only spoil the wonderful memories we have.
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
You need to visit Florida beaches, it where lot of really kinky females
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
A month ago my friend, his wife, i and my gf were out for a dinner late at night. My friend's has a deep crush on me and we have made out a little bit then and now without any penetration. So last night when we were out dining and sitting around a circular table, she was sitting beside me. And after a few minutes she took her heels off and started rubbing my dick over my pants with her feet. I was so turned on that i uzipped my pants and pulled out my dick and she secretly started giving me a footjob. Wow!! Was a damn amazing feeling. When we finished the dinner, i went down the table to pretend i have lost my keys and quickly i gave a sweet kiss on her pussy.
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
My wife and I went to restaurant with another couple, this guy always had hots for my wife although she was 10 years older that they were. My wife rarely wears panties and we were sitting in a booth, his wife and I on one side my wife and him on the other. we had about three drinks and were talking and eating appetizers . His wife and I talking, they are talking and i was not paying attention to what was going on on other side of booth, he was fingering wife and she was jacking him. She managed to get him off she said and when I noticed her licking her fingers but I did not know her had cum. She did not, but was enjoying his fingers. It is a long story, maybe I can get her to tell it, We did end up swapping partners that night!
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
oh no. wearing panty is a kinky stuff for u guys? then listen, whenever i go out for dinner i'll make the lady with me to go to washroom and bring back a glass full of brown water and place on the table. people around us will never notice instead of lemonade i am drinking her p__. also once the sex starts on the bed she can never go to washroom. my mouth becomes her toilet if she needs to go at all.
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
Oh fuckinghead! Now thats something fucking kinky. Drinking her pee and that too in a restaurant, man you are already living in 3017 or may be you went back to the primitive era haha...dont mind.
I have never tried this but i will surely do if you let me know how it tastes
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
Dude, if her piss is brown, I'd get her to a doctor.
That shit's wrong.

Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
may i know what do u call normal pee? clear water? watery water? water water? or?
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
if u make her drink plenty of water just before that it almost tastes like little salty water. concentrated or stale pee is a huge problem. fresh off the bladder after a lots of 'water' (not coffee, wine etc) is almost normal water with the kinky feeling.
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
Ok lemme try this if she agrees to
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?

Let me know vanessa where are you heading to in next couple of weekends. May be we can bump into each other knowingly and enjoy the weekend fun
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
Not exactly in public ! This goes back some years (we could tell so many stories about fun times), our friends call us on a Saturday afternoon (swap partners) and ask us to go get a burger and then come to their house to play cards (LOL). This guy adores my wife's 34D's, bald pussy and great legs and ass but anyway wife says sure when she finds out their 4 kids are at Granny's!
They pick us up, we go eat, they drop us to get our car and we go to their place!
He is making drinks for us, we all in kitchen, he says to his wife why don't you model your new bikinis, she says sure, goes in bedroom and puts one one, not exactly the kind to wear around the kids. He says to my wife why don't you try it on, now his wife is smaller frame with small tits but my wife says sure (second drink going down now) they exit, They come back. my wife wearing that one that barely covers her nips and bottoms way to small! He reaches to help adjust on tits and they end up tongue kissing. His wife takes my hand and say come with me and we head to basement and are like two young kids necking and sucking and fucking for about 45 minutes! We go back up and few minutes later they come out from bedroom after doing their thing. Wife french's me telling me she loves me. We have another drink and start playing cards. My wife is wearing shorts and a t-shirt, her bra no longer on. We are playing for about 45 or so minutes and I can tell something going on with wife. She suddenly stands and says to my buddy go in living room and take your shorts off. His wife and I are perplexed and my wife tells him do lay down taking the t-shirt off and her shorts (no panties). She is naked and she takes his dick in her mouth, then stops, and says to us he keeps paying footsies with me so maybe this will keep him happy. This is first time I have ever seen my wife suck somebody, I knew but had never seen.
His wife was shocked but we both are watching intently, my wife stops again and says to his don't let me stop you from doing this to J (me), with that she stands and strips to, gets on knees in front of me and takes my dick in her mouth. My wife stops again and says want to bet who cums first? She says sure and they are both trying to get us guys to cum. My wife won and then they watched me getting my load off!
We played cards and had more drinks and then had another suck fuck session with the gals. The BJ he gave him in front of me was only repeated one time except when we did some threesomes and I saw her with a dick in her pussy or mouth.
Re: NY kinky female here... how kiny you get in public?
Another nice story from you jocko.
I cant forget the one where me and my wife and the other couple who is our friend were enjoying vacations in south africa. We landed at cape town, enjoyed being there for 3 days doing our things and then we started off to johhanesburg boarding a train. We had 4 berths booked in the same cabin. It was evening when we boarded. We started with casual chats sharing the pictures we took in cape town and discussing how beautiful the city was. Time passed and we had our dinners and then we started chatting and discussing plans for the erotic night we had been planning since we we started our journey. It was decided that me and my friend's wife will occupt the upper berths while my wife and my friend will be on the lower ones so that at night when they start making out in dark, we(me and his wife) can just lay down on upper berths controlling our wild desires to fuck each other until we see the other pair finishing up with theirs. The time to start this fun wasnt fixed as we all wanted it to be random at any point after midnight.
It was 12:30 and they both had not started yet. They both were lying on their berths with their phones on and i could see my wife tapping her fingers fast like she was texting someone. On the other berth my friend was doing the same so i just guessed that might be sexting each other trying to make each other well wet before the session. I was feeling sleepy so i asked my friend when he is going to take the move. He said i didnt need to worry about that as i would hear the moans of my wife when he would shove his dick with a jerk deep down my wife's hairy pussy. I was damn horny and could see my friend's wife staring at me with lust in her eyes but hell we decided not to do anything unless the other pair finishes off. So nothing happened for next 15 mins and i dozed off.
I woke up suddenly alarmed by some noise and yes that was my wife trying to control her moans as she was getting rammed by my friend in a position where her she was standing straight with her boobs pressed tightly against the window and my friend fucking her from behind. I looked af the time and it was 1:40 something. Her wife was sleeping so i just got up and managed to slap her ass and she woke up with a surprise to what was going beneath us. We gave a liitle laugh to each other and that made the two horny carnivores enjoying each other alert and god they laughed so loudly seeing our faces that i doubt people in the other cabins might have heard that if they were awoke.
I dont know for how long had they been fucking each other. They changed positions and my wife put her fingers inside her pussy and asked him to taste thise fingers while he sucked her fingers and fingered her ass. They did missionary afterwards and then her riding him reverse cowgirl. After about 20 mins he came all over her tits and she sucked him off dry.
Now it was our turn. As all those women who have had sex with me and guys who have seen me doing it know very well that i can be fucking wild if turned on very much and that makes me do the wildest of things like stripping and tearing away a woman's shirt or crop, this pair was well aware of it too.
Her wife and i stepped down from our berths and those were occupied by a sore pussy and a flaccid dick.
Her wife, lets name her S, was standing on the floor. I bent down and stated licking her pussy and god she was already dripping in cum. I guess she had an orgasm while she was fingering herself while watching her husband and my wife making out. That made me extremely turned on and i stood up and tore apart the loosely fitting top she was wearing. She wasnt surprised as she knew i do such things as my wife had already told her when the two of them used to have their gossips. She bit her lips as i could see my friend with his eyes wide open as he was thinking wtf did i just do to the costly(i guess so) top he had bought for her lol.
I instantly dug my mouth in S's tits and started sucking them desperately while my other hand rubbing her wet clit from above her panties. I kept sucking and biting slowly on her nipples which i guess was making her very much turned on as i could feel her pussy oozing out juices at a faster pace.
So i just went down and ate it as much as i can drinking all her juices which tasted really really good. I can say my it was a hundred times better then my wife.
We then fucked in various positions but i was so much turned on already that i came pretty quick like in about 15 mins. While doing all this the only thing we cared for was that we dont make a lot of noise and the ladies dont moan loud. So there was a lot of choking and shutting up their mouth that was another great turn on. She sucked me off and we all sat there chatting more while my friend told me that i gotta buy her a new top for her wife if i am ever going to try tearing it again.
We all had a can of beer and then we were ready for another around this time all of us fucking at the same time. We did DP both of the ladies and DVP with my friend's wife as mine has a pretty tight pussy that cannot make room for two. We ended up cumming inside each other's wives this time.
This was one hell of a "fucking" experience that has always been in one of the top positions of my sexual encounters list.

When the proposed mega-merger of Monsanto and D&PL was put before the U.S. Department of Justice nearly a year ago, there was little doubt charges of monopoly and market anti-competitiveness would follow.
Indeed, those claims came. And after the DOJ's May 31 decision to allow the merger, the charges haven't calmed.
"This is a disappointing development in merger enforcement," says Diana Moss, vice president of the non-profit Antitrust Institute. "We think the DOJ had a strong complaint and competitive impact statement. But their remedy is very weak and inadequate.
"They're selling off Stoneville and some D&PL germ plasm assets to Bayer. And to effectively compete with D&PL in the Mid-South and Southeast cotton markets, you'll need a vertically integrated, established platform. That would be all the way from the genetic trait development to delivery of the finished seed."
Moss says the institute doesn't see the remedy as creating that situation for Bayer. "Bayer has little, or no, experience in those markets and they're a tiny player in genetic traits development. The germ plasm lines being divested are either experimental or not planted much in the Mid-South and Southeast."
The DOJ should never have allowed the merger, insists Bill Freese.
"The remedies they propose won't ensure competition," says the analyst with the Center for Food Safety. "With Bayer buying Stoneville, there will be two companies controlling over 90 percent of the cottonseed. We've gone from an oligarchy to a duopoly. There will definitely be higher concentration in an already highly concentrated industry."
The merger will result in a situation where "farmers have fewer choices and seed prices continue to rise. Now, there are two behemoths in the cottonseed industry."
The DOJ "made a big deal" about making D&PL divest 20 cotton lines, says Freese. "What they did was create 'enhanced' Stoneville assets. So the divestment included not only Stoneville, but they also threw in 20 cottonseed lines from D&PL. That was supposedly significant, but 12 of the 20 varieties are experimentals. We don't know if they'll be competitive. And of those varieties, eight have been sold and account for less than 2 percent of the cotton planting in 2006."
Freese says take away the legal squabbles and hand wringing and "at the end of the day, Monsanto is now the biggest cottonseed company in the world. I hope everyone understands this will consolidate their monopoly in cottonseed."
And then there's DuPont, a company extremely displeased with the merger. Was DuPont frozen out of the merger deal?
"Since the proposed merger was first announced, we've been on-the-record opposed," says Doyle Karr, DuPont spokesperson. "That was because we feel it would very anticompetitive and would be a disservice to farmers and, ultimately, consumers. Throughout the process that's been our position."
Now that the DOJ has allowed the deal to proceed with remedies, "we still believe it's anticompetitive," says Karr. "Even with the remedies proposed it's bad for farmers."
Karr admits DuPont is looking at options to block the merger in court.
"The way this works is, if the DOJ wanted to stop the merger deal they'd have sued to block. Often, if the DOJ takes that option, the companies involved will simply say, 'Enough. We'll drop this because the uphill battle isn't worth the trouble.' And that's along the lines of what happened the first time Monsanto tried to merge with D&PL."
Karr says just because the DOJ hasn't chosen to sue to block doesn't mean other entities can't. "That's why we're looking at this seriously."
If DuPont files suit would the goal be to kill the merger or force new remedies the company would be satisfied with?
"It's hard to speculate. Our basic argument is that when you take a company with a very high, dominant market share in biotechnology traits combined with another company with a very high, single-crop market share it will limit competition. It can't help but limit it and make it very difficult to stay in the market."
And, ultimately, farmers will pay the price, warns Karr. "That won't be in the near-term — not something farmers will see tomorrow — but, over time, believe me, they'll be asking, 'Why don't we have more options?' And the answer will be 'because there's no competition.'
"Competition is a very good thing for any consumer. Lack of it means you may see some good things in the short run. But in the long term you're missing out because of higher prices and no competition pushing research to the next level.
"When you look at where farmers sit with seed and input traits, they need to ask about competition and what this deal will mean in the long run. Ask questions!"
Like Moss, Karr says DuPont agrees with much of what the DOJ articulated on the situation in its ruling. But the proposed remedies "are seriously lacking in resolving the anti-competitive aspects of the acquisition."
Under the Tunney Act, a 60-day comment period on the merger is now open. All interviewed suggest concerned farmers contact the DOJ, their state attorneys general and politicians.
"It is extremely important to know that the most critical voice in all this is the farmer's," says Karr. "There is a short time frame here, but if they're worried about this deal, they need to let these officials know what they think."

I typically pitch this strain at 63-64F, hold it there for the first 24-48 hours, then slowly raise to the upper 60s. Any yeast strain is susceptible to dropping out if the temperature falls, so maybe that's how others don't have success with it?

In this modern age of technology DBA's face an ever increasing demand from businesses; our databases must perform, be secure, highly available and scalable and equally as important recoverable. There is an obsession with the 5 9's within the industry, and rightly so, but just how resilient is your recovery plan? Can you honestly say hand on heart you have covered everything? I can't, but it isn't through want of trying.
Performance and Security
Let's say then that you are happy with the performance of your databases, you have normalised to 3rd normal form in the vast majority of cases without compromising performance. All the right security measures are in place, Active Directory Groups with access available only for production DBA's, you also have a controlled staged release procedure through Development, UAT and Live. You monitor a wide variety of metrics and analyse them on a weekly basis for auditing and capacity planning. You have a solid index strategy to squeeze out every possible ounce of performance. Performance and Security you have covered pretty well but being a DBA you are always looking for ways to make things better.
Highly Available
You have a 2 node active passive Windows Failover Cluster, have tested all the possible failover scenarios and are happy that failovers and failbacks occur successfully. Again you are happy with the high availability of your environment.
You have plenty of room for "growth" both in size and load on the environment, there is also a contingency for additional resources (for ITIL people I mean storage, CPU and memory ;) if required. Performance and utilisation is monitored and reviewed weekly as part of your standards. You are comfortable that the environment scales.
You have configured Database Mirroring in high safety with manual failover to prevent false failovers as the DR site in a different country. Failover has been tested and the databases are served to the applications successfully failback also works a treat. You take full backups on a Sunday differentials every night and transaction log backups every 15 minutes. The backups are then backed up to tape and sent to an offsite storage facility.
Good Times (GT's), so far so good you have ticked all the required boxes up to this point. Now let's throw in some scenarios and see how this environment would work.
Performance problems reported
Your solid release process highlighted a potential risk and the affected processes are rolled back to guarantee performance while the issues are being addressed.
Potential Security Breach
This was found proactively as during your weekly review you noticed login failures and raised the issue with your security team to resolve.
Running low on disk space
Again this is proactive, based on current growth rates you predict that a volume will run out of space in 6 months, a change request is made and the volume expanded.
A Server in the cluster fails
No problem here, failover is automatic you resolve the error with the problematic node and add it back into the cluster.
Entire cluster / primary site failure
Again no problem you manually failover from the principal to the failover partner, the application and operation teams follow their DR plans and hey presto with little downtime your environment is up and serving customers again.
Data Loss
At 12:00 reports of errors in the application reach your team, Investigation finds that a disgruntled DBA who was working their notice period deleted 100,000 records from the order table at 11:05 on a Friday morning. A decision is made to recover from backup, the backups are kept on disk for one week so you look at restoring the affected database. This is where the problem arises.
Your backup script consists of restoring the full backup from Sunday The differential from Thursday night and then all transaction logs from Friday with a STOP AT command at the last transaction before the delete. The full backup restores fine but the differential backup from Thursday night fails as it is incomplete. You investigate further and have to result to restoring the full backup from Sunday the differential backup from Wednesday and all transaction logs from Thursday up until 23:45 which is the last transaction log before the incomplete differential.
Yes that's right you have lost just over 12 hours' worth of data! Things didn't have to be this way though. The solution is to verify your backups; if you would have verified the consistency of your backups this could have been avoided.
I know from experience trying to justify the cost of a server can be a painstaking task but justifying one that does not serve clients is even more difficult. The spin I always use is;
"How much would it cost the company if we lost a day's worth of data?"
As a techie it is a no brainer, but persuading someone to part with their money that they see no day to day benefit from having is a different matter. From their standpoint it is not revenue generating and the risk is worth taking.
In an ideal world all backups would be verified by restoring them but this is simply not practical for everyone as the budget may simply not available. Take into consideration also that most environments I have worked in have had 40+ SQL Servers running different versions; this would potentially require more than one server to verify the backups.
What I would recommend is;
1 – Get buy in from other team members and line managers, the more people you have that agree with you on this the stronger the case will be when it is presented to the person with the cheque book!
2 - Prioritise your SQL Servers and verify the backups of the most critical databases as often as possible. If you lose data in some databases you can get by, for example IT Internal databases (SQLSentry, Solarwinds).
Believe me it may one day save you and quite possibly your job!

There's a new feeling in D.C. Robert Griffin III can sense it.
The Washington Redskins are right back in the playoff hunt after a 38-31 Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys. Few were talking about the postseason when the Redskins lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 and fell to 3-6.
"It feels as if something is building," Griffin said, via CSNWashington.com. "Being 3-6, the character of your team is tested. If you don't beat the Eagles, you're 3-7 and you're likely to kill your season or the morale of your team. Then we come out on Thanksgiving and really dominate the game, let (the Cowboys) back in and close it out. It was big for the mindset of everybody.
"Hey, we might have thought we could do it. Now we know we can do it, and it's in our hands."
The Redskins need a measure of consistency to remain a team to be watched. Playing a little defense would help. But what more can be said about Griffin? He threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns Thursday. Alfred Morris leads the No. 2 run game in the NFL. Pierre Garcon proved to be a factor in his second game back from a toe injury.
|Take a look at photos from the Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Redskins and Cowboys.
Griffin makes the Redskins a threat in any game despite a Redskins defense that gives up 25.9 points per game.
"You know, he's kind of like Cool Hand Luke," Redskins coach Mike Shanahan told The Washington Post. "He doesn't get too upset about anything. He just handles himself and goes about his business and works extremely hard to prepare for a game.
"And he knows how to avoid distractions, because he focuses on his job, and doesn't seem to let anything bother him. And that's why he has the success that he has, because he is very disciplined, and very determined, and he works at it."
Nevermind the fact Griffin has no clue who "Cool Hand Luke" is.
If something special is going to happen in D.C., it starts with RG3.

November 21, 2007
LOS ANGELES - Beating out cross-town rival USC, a team of students representing UCLA Anderson School of Management walked away with the Silver Shovel award Thursday night at the 2007 USC vs. UCLA Real Estate Challenge held at USC's Galen Center. Presented by the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP), this annual event showcases the talents and creativity of the next generation of real estate leaders by posing a specific real estate case challenge to each school team.
"We are pleased to partner with NAIOP and extraordinarily proud of our winning team," said Tim Kawahara, executive director of the Richard S. Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA Anderson. "Beyond bringing the Silver Shovel back to UCLA, the competition provided the students with an opportunity to work comprehensively on a real-life real estate project - an intensive experience that will serve them well for years to come."
This year, the two teams were asked to examine The Campus at Playa Vista, a 64-acre office project located at the site of the historic Howard Hughes aircraft facility, and determine the highest and best use of the project's 575,000 square feet of existing historical buildings. The structures, which date back to the 1940s and 1950s, include the famous Spruce Goose Hanger. The UCLA Anderson team, consisting of four second-year MBA students, Adam Horowitz, Scott Kend, Tyler Morris and Britta Tracy, and one UCLA architecture student, Ian Ream, focused its efforts on satisfying the needs of the key stakeholders in the project: users, investors and the community.
The dual focus on low-cost design and community benefit is what set the UCLA Anderson team's proposal apart from their competition. The team worked hard to develop a design that would be financially viable for both operators and investors, while also being attentive to the community. Not only did the team incorporate a host of sustainable design features, but their overall development integrates well into the rich, mixed-use environment of Playa Vista, providing a strong tenant base for surrounding retail entities and additional job growth opportunities.
"The team was very mindful of the sensitive entitlement climate in Playa Vista, the competitive market for soundstages, and the current credit crunch," said Paul Habibi, UCLA Anderson lecturer and team coach. "I am extremely proud off what these students have accomplished and hope they will inspire future UCLA students who participate in the NAIOP Challenge."
Utilizing the natural layout of the historic buildings, the UCLA Anderson team divided their development proposal into three distinct neighborhoods or "lots" (North, South and East) and penned their project Hercules Studios. The North lot, flanked by the massive Spruce Goose Hanger, comprises four soundstages, while the South lot combines additional soundstages with production office space. The East lot provides creative office space for entertainment and production-related tenants. All of the lot designs integrate three shared objectives: a) to achieve superior returns by adopting a low-cost strategy b) to provide flexibility by diversifying tenant base, and c) to maintain the historical integrity of existing buildings.
The UCLA Anderson team was very pragmatic in their approach to the development challenge, using every resource available and tracking down all relevant data. Sharing a strong work ethic and a sense of humor, the team devoted countless hours in preparation for the competition. They even attempted to build a mock-up of their design using Gaffer Tape. Presenting to an esteemed panel of judges and professionals from the local real estate community, the team knew their proposal would have to make an impression.
"We could not have done this without the tremendous support of the Anderson community," said UCLA team member Scott Kend. "Dozens of busy and talented people opened their schedules to us at a moment's notice and provided us with the resources we needed to do our job well. They are one of the major reasons behind our success, and it was an honor to bring the Silver Shovel home for them."
In its tenth year, the NAIOP USC vs. UCLA Real Estate Challenge celebrates the rivalry between the two schools, but more importantly, the competition draws attention to the robust real estate programs at both USC and UCLA, and the next generation of real estate talent. The winning team is awarded the Silver Shovel, a silver shovel inscribed with all past winners, and a $5000 cash prize. The UCLA Anderson team donated their cash prize to Challenge for Charity, the Anderson School's largest charitable organization. UCLA last won the award in 2004.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate presently in production. Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however numerous changes were made at the conventional opening of the new model year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the intro of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough difference to require classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has sustained with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Lauderdale MS are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in automobile history that the Big 3 were having to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version however, due to the added equipment required to fulfill brand-new United States emission and security policies, was heavier than the first model. Efficiency was decreased and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Lauderdale MS were readily available between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a third time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly big enough for four individuals. The trunk was larger and so was the engine bay. The body styles readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford built 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Many of the greatest musicians of the 20th century have appeared here--Nathan Milstein, Luciano Pavarotti, Beverly Sills, Sherrill Milnes, Robert Merrill, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, the Detroit Symphony, the MET--and many others. Many thanks to Steve and James of the Temple staff for their assistance and cooperation on this project.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Costco is like a warehouse and sells large sizes or quantities of most things. It has many products that aren't found easily in Korea, and the prices are usually at or near the lowest anywhere. There is also a big E-mart, maybe the biggest in Korea, near the Yangjae location (Subway 3 line -- map at http://www.costco.co.kr/eng/whs_853.htm ).

Enable windows file extensions
By convention and to make stuff easier to find, an abbreviation of the type of a digital file is usually appended to the end of the filename itself. For example, a JPEG photograph might have .JPG on the end like so: DSCN2502.JPG
On the Windows operating system this extension is hidden by default, so all you would see is DSCN2502 and the type of the file is indicated by the icon of the program that would be used to open-it (presumably this is to prevent users changing the extension by accident when renaming files).
When stitching photographs or doing any other kind of image manipulation, you are likely to be working simultaneously with several different image file types such as TIFF, JPEG or RAW. To distinguish between them, you have to be able to see file extensions.
To enable display of Windows file extensions in windows explorer and most file open and file save dialogs:
- Open Windows Explorer
- Choose Tools -> Folder Options... from the Menu
- Select View tab page
- Under Advanced Settings uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types
- Click Ok
This won't enable the display of all file extensions (.PIF and .LNK will be still hidden for example) but it will make working with different image file types much easier...
Unhide files and folders
Some files and folders are hidden by default. In case of system files this is to protect them from accidentially being altered or deleted by the user. However, there is at least one folder that is extremly helpful to greatly simplify batch tasks from windows explorer: The SendTo-folder. It is usually located in the Documents and Settings hierarchy as a subfolder to your user folder.
To unhide it do the same as described above and in the Advanced Settings section simply tick Show hidden files and folders.
Any link to a programs or batch file in this folder will be displayed in the explorer right click Send To menu. If you mark files in explorer and choose something from Send To menu, the respective program or batch file is called with the file names (with complete path) in the command line. Use windows help (search for %) to learn how to refer to parameters in a batch file.

Equipment Manufacturers Meeting Breakfast Food Demands
New equipment helps big brands make breakfast part of their balanced operations diet, as products trend fast, frozen and fully cooked.
Breakfast may indeed be the most important meal of the day for food processors looking to put their money where their markets are going. Beyond the traditional realm of cereals hot and cold, recent breakfast product innovations include complete entrees, sandwiches, wraps, bowls and pancakes – some wrapped around sausages on a stick.
Big-brand marketers are developing those products in more healthful ways while taking a page from the fast food handbook to offer innovation, flavor and convenience. But there's so much novelty in this category that new processing and packaging machines are essential to compete.
"We have seen a big increase in our business for machines related to breakfast sandwiches," says John McIsaac, vice president of strategic business development for Robert Reiser & Co. (www.reiser.com), Canton, Mass. "For us, this means an opportunity to produce machines for the components of the sandwiches."
That means machinery ranging from patty formers to English muffin dividers to machines that slice and accurately place cheese on breakfast sandwiches, most of these integrated into larger lines. The reason is the simple and ongoing truth that "Americans want to eat breakfast sandwiches they can microwave," he says.
Brands fight to beat commodities
The products getting the most attention are fully cooked, frozen and convenient. Despite, or perhaps as a response to, the recession, top brand marketers are focusing more on brand building and less on loss-leading commodities that are prone to undercutting by private label competition.
Hormel long has been a low-price competitor, but it discovered a way to command a higher price for former commodity products by forging a link between health-oriented marketing and processing. Its 2006 investment in "TrueTaste" high-pressure processing, which uses pressure, not heat, to pasteurize food, preserves flavor and extends shelf life without preservatives. The first products were deli meats, but now Hormel has Natural Choice-branded bacon and fully cooked sausage.
Kraft Foods exemplifies the need to focus on brands and not commodities. In 2008, in the face of a still-new economic crisis, the company launched its Bagel-Fuls brand. The bagel and cream cheese sandwiches help add value to slicer-thin cheese margins and address consumers' needs for breakfast, "one meal occasion they really struggle with," Chitra Ebenezer, director of marketing and now director of consumer cohorts, said in launching the line. These were seen as part of a "quick-meal" category designed also to target consumers seeking to pare-down their out-of-home meal spending.
Sara Lee's Jimmy Dean brand has steadily updated its portfolio with cooked, microwavable Heat'N Serve sausages, microwavable Entrees, Omelets, Breakfast Sandwiches and Bowls, 10-minute "Skillets" kits and Pancakes & Sausage – even pancake-wrapped sausage links on a stick. Additionally, "D-Lights" products such as bowls and sandwiches tout reduced calories and fat as well as being an "excellent source of calcium and protein, and a good source of iron."
How these companies and others succeed in bringing such innovations to market relies in no small part on the ability of suppliers to accommodate the technical demands they necessitate.
Technology flexes to meet demand
Current-generation equipment solutions have new features that include updated recipe-selection and management software for accurate processing and quick changeovers; modular designs that smooth line modifications; and quick-connect hardware to minimize tools and speed maintenance and production changeovers.
