Stockbridge Valley girls volleyball loses to Cincinnatus in title match
CHITTENANGO >> Things looked good for Stockbridge Valley's girls volleyball team when it had a lead late in the first game and one midway in the second of the Section III Class D title match against Cincinnatus on Saturday.
Both leads got away from the Cougars and with them a chance to win the school's first title in the sport.
The Lions won 26-24, 25-18, 25-23 to defend their title. The victory avenged two regular season losses to their Central Counties League rival.
"They did their homework," Cougars coach Ray Webb said. "They covered the corner phenomenal. That was the difference."
Maybe so, but Stockbridge Valley (15-1) went ahead 18-13 in the first game behind Justiss Usborne's setting, the hitting of Meriah Beauvais, Sam Yates and Kelsey Kinney and all the Cougars' defense. Lisa Curtis had the kill that put the top seed ahead 18-13 and moments later Kinney and Yates had kills in a run that put their team up 22-15.
After a timeout by Cincy, the Cougars committed an error then the Lions earned five more points, with Kassidy Kievit having most of the kills. Kinney had a kill after a net violation to get Stockbridge Valley to game point, but Cincy went on a 5-0 run to win the opener 26-24. Kievit had an ace to tie the game and Susie Waltz had the kill to end it.
Yates and Kinney had blocks to help the Cougars take a 6-5 lead and a service error later in the game by the Lions let the Cougars go up 15-13 then Danielle Wood had a kill and Kievit killed a free ball to start an 8-1 run that changed the momentum for good. Kasey Price tipped for a point and Sydney Burritt had a kill seconds later for the key plays in the clinching run.
The third game was back and forth with the Lions going up 8-3 before the Cougars rallied to lead 18-16 on two aces by Beauvais. Kievit answered with two kills then Price had an ace for a 19-18 Lions lead. The Cougars tied it on the next point then went ahead 23-22 on three great plays by Yates before Burritt had a hit that caught the tape, rolled over and fell to tie it 23-23 for the Lions. The Cougars were just long with a hit on the next play then had a passing error on match point.
"We played better than Tuesday," Webb said of a five-game win against Hamilton, "but today they (Cincy) were better."
Cincinnatus (11-2): Kassidy Kievit 13k, 1.5b, 1ac, 15d; Sydney Burritt 4k, 2ac, 8d; Danielle Wood 1k, .5b, 1ac, 11as, 7d; Mallory Cobb 7k, .5b, 15as, 9d; Susie Waltz 2k, 1ac, 7d; Kasey Price 8k, 2ac, 2as, 17d.
Stockbridge Valley (15-1): Meriah Beauvais 4k, 2b, 4ac, 8d; Lisa Curtis 1k; Kelsey Kinney 5k, 5b, 1ac; Justiss Usborne 14as, 7d; Samantha Yates 6k, 6b, 9d; Nicole Jacobs 1b; Tiffani Jacobs 7d; Brianna Dygert 1d.

There really isn't much going on today, although that could change if rumors of martial law in Ukraine prove correct. So far, though, no sign of anything untoward going on there.
Prompted by a couple of readers, I wandered over to Sports Illustrated's site and voted for Pat Tillman for Sportsman of the Year. He's currently in third place. It's a totally non-binding vote, as the editors will do what they want, but still worth a visit.
In our mailbox this morning was an email from "the other Rocket Man," Richard Mason. Last spring I did a post in which I mentioned that my youngest daughter, then seven, was amused by hearing me called "Rocket Man" on the radio. So she drew a picture of a rocket in space to commemorate the nickname. Richard, amazingly enough, copied the picture and put it on the side of his van. He writes: "Please thank your daughter for helping me come up with a great sign for my business." I'm not sure of the exact nature of the business, but it obviously involves children, and Richard goes by the moniker "Rocketman." Here he is, with the van. Click to enlarge:
Now, Richard, let's talk about that licensing agreement…

Ever Wonder if there is a 500-1,000 Pip a Month, HONEST Trader REALLY Willing to Share his Trades With You?
*** Full HFS Results: Over 15,000 PIPS from 2010 to - VERIFIED BY OUR BROKER, SEE PROOF PAGE ***
"FOR THE FIRST TIME... I Am Going to Trade Live Online Daily and Email my Trades to you, and give you my FOREX TRADE COPIER SOFTWARE so the trades are executed REMOTELY, by ME, on your account. NOT A ROBOT!"
We've all tried Robots/EAs with tons of promise and very little results. The truth of the matter is these Forex software systems always fall apart. When the market goes wild, no "robot" can predict market conditions! The internet is also full of expensive Forex training systems, and signals/trading rooms promising huge results only to disappoint hopeful members.
What YOU need is someone who is willing to both TEACH you, as well as share his Forex trades LIVE with you so you can simply duplicate the results. Here, you are being given the opportunity to either EARN, LEARN, or both! ANYONE who can set up trade copier software (take 15-20 minutes) can do this.

In the wake of last year's earthquake centred on L'Aquila, Italian president Giorgio Napolitano encouraged race organisers RCS to take the Giro to the town. They are doing so via the corsa rosa's longest stage for a decade. Even more than the day before, this stage will suit breakaways, and might even shake up the overall, although probably not as much as it did in 1914 when race leader Giuseppe Azzini never reached the finish in L'Aquila and was found the next day, racked with fever, taking shelter at a country house near Popoli, 50km away.
Procycling's favourite to win:
In need of a new sponsor, Saxo Bank's riders will be active. Classics specialist Matti Breschel (right) is on good form so far this year and won't be daunted by this epic stage. Watch for Acqua e Sapone too, whose jerseys carry the 'Forza L'Aquila' logo of the group formed by local sports stars to build a new sports complex in the earthquake-damaged city.
Pozzato says:
"Stage 11 will be a very long and emotional day, as we visit some of the areas devastated by the earthquake last April. The course itself is very hard and lends itself to breaks and also attacks on an uphill finish in L'Aquila. There won't be big gaps between the very top riders, but someone between fifth and tenth place on GC could make a big move."
Flashback The longest stages
If you think racing 262km through the Apennines in peak summer sounds ridiculous, spare a thought for the riders in the 1914 Giro. Like the pre-World War One Tour de France, the Giro in that era circled the country in little more than a handful of stages. Eighty-one riders started the 3,162km race that year. Just eight finished.
Costante Girardengo was among those who dropped out. He did, though, win the stage between Lucca and Rome. At 430km, it remains the longest in the event's history. At 428km, stage six was almost as long but far tougher. Running from Bari to L'Aquila, Luigi Lucotti was first home in 19:20, the longest ever finishing time.
In 1935, Gino Bartali claimed his debut Giro stage win in L'Aquila. Victory in the same city a year later gave him the pink jersey for the first time, which he held to the finish.

FIFA 07 is a great game. It's a great game not because EA has done something revolutionary or drastic, but rather because they have taken a great game and made subtle improvements throughout, making it the best FIFA title to date. It feels, looks, and plays better than the previous titles, and that's saying a lot.
One improvement that is a big step forward this year is the physics of the ball. How the ball bounces actually depends on the way the ball is kicked or deflected, or on the context of the player position. This plays into the game in a huge way, as you'll have to think about your player position when winding up. If you are dribbling away from the goal, your shot will have no power. If you can gain your balance and move toward the goal and wind up, however, then you will be able to fire off a rocket. If a goalie saves a shot, the ball might bounce off to the side and roll to a striker because of the spin. It is truly a nice touch to see the ball physics at work.
Another big improvement is the AI. No longer will a player sit and watch a ball go by as if he is stuck into the ground. Players will react to runs, come to the ball, and actually act like soccer players. This is a very refreshing development.
As far as the game modes are concerned, it's your standard FIFA with some add-ons. You have your quick friendly match, your practice mode, etc. The manager mode is improved for FIFA 07, as you'll have a ton of in and out of season options, such as roster moves, organization decisions, and the like. This is where the bulk of your time will be spent. The game also has a challenges mode in which you will go into preset scenarios and overcome the odds to win the scenario. It is not a huge part of the game, but it adds for a nice touch.
If you're a wannabe manager and don't feel like playing, there is also a simulation mode which puts you into the manager's shoes. The game happens in a text format in front of you, and you just make the decisions for your team. It's a nice way to get through games if you don't feel like playing them allâ"or just aren't very good.
The sound in the game is excellent. The commentary is probably the best yet, and generally keeps up with the action very well. They do repeat things here and there, but when you play for hours, you have to expect that anyway. The soundtrack is what you'd expect from any FIFA title, and the in-game sound and crowd noise is also fantastic.
Graphically, FIFA 07 looks great. For a current generation title, this is as good as it gets. The animations are smooth, and flow into each other amazingly well. Player models are nice, and move realistically around the field. EA has managed to push each console to its graphical limits.
The controls are... well, like FIFA. They are mostly untouched, apart from the differences in touch and physics. To use a terribly over-used clicheâ" âIf it ain't broke, don't fix it.â
FIFA 07 is an excellent game. Is it completely new? No. Is it revolutionary in some way? No. But EA has taken the core FIFA game and improved it to create the best FIFA footballer to date. If you are a soccer game fan, you simply can't miss this title.

There has been no lack of FIFA titles dribbling onto the market over the past year or so. We had FIFA 06, followed shortly by EA's World Cup title to match the greatest sporting tournament in the world. Now, not that long after, we have FIFA 07. With the more than usual amount of soccer titles, it would be very easy for EA to put out a run of the mill, nothing-new soccer game. Thankfully, this is not what EA has settled for.
FIFA 07 is an excellent game. Is it completely new? No. Is it revolutionary in some way? No. But EA has taken the core FIFA game and improved it to create the best FIFA footballer to date. If you are a soccer game fan, you simply can't miss this title.

WALTHAM, Mass.- Despite another strong second-half and furious rally in the closing minutes, the Brandeis women's basketball team fell to the Case Western Reserve Spartans 50-46 in University Athletic Association (UAA) play. The Judges fall to 7-7 (1-2 UAA) while the Spartans move to 10-4 (2-1 UAA).
Case's senior guard Evy Iacono (Cincinnati, Ohio/ Mount Notre Dame), who leads the UAA with 19.7 points per game, was held in check by a stingy Brandeis defense for most of the game. Although she finished with 17 points, she needed to attempt 18 field goals to get there. On the offensive side, senior forward Samantha Anderson (Johnsonville, N.Y./ Hoosic Valley) had one of her best performances of the season, leading the Judges with 11 points while pulling down five rebounds.
In the first half, the game was tied five times with one lead change as the teams went back and forth for the first 10 minutes of the period. With 9:31 remaining, Case took their first lead on a jumper by sophomore forward Erin Reynolds (St. Louis, Mo./ Webster Groves) that started a 15-7 run that gave the Spartans a 26-18 advantage at the break.
In the second half, the Judges played a much better game defensively and offensively, holding Case to just 27.3% shooting from the field while shooting 43.3% themselves. After the Spartans' senior center Emily Mueller (Pittsburgh, Pa./ Great Valley) drained a three to extend Case's lead to 10, Brandeis went on the defining run of the game. Led by sophomore guard Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./ Gloucester), the Judges went on a 12-2 run that featured a basket from downtown as the shot clock expired and a three-point play the old fashioned way by Cain. One of the biggest plays in that stretch came with 1:10 left in the contest. After Cain had brought Brandeis within two, junior guard Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./ Pomperaug) stepped in front of Mueller to take a charge and get the ball back to the Judges with a chance to tie the game. On the ensuing possession, junior guard Julia Scanlon (Greenwich, Conn./ Greenwich) delivered as she finished a driving layup to knot the score at 46-46 with just 55 ticks left on the clock. Unfortunately on the other end, Iacono drained two clutch free throws with 28 seconds left for the 48-46 lead. Cain could not convert on her jumper with four seconds remaining and the Spartans added two more freebies with 0.2 seconds left by sophomore guard Brooke Orcutt (Morrison, Colo./ Dakota Ridge) for the final margin of 50-46.
Brandeis had two scorers in double-figures as Anderson finished with 11 and Cain contributed 10 points, all in the second half. Rookie guard Niki Laskaris (Swampscott, Mass./ Swampscott) led the squad with six caroms while Anderson and Scanlon each had five. Dean and junior guard Janelle Rodriguez (Peabody, Mass./ Peabody Veterans) shared team-high honors with three assists and Cain finished with a team leading three steals.
Case was led by Iacono with 17 points while Mueller and Reynolds each added eight. Orcutt, Reynolds, and senior guard Erica Iafelice (North Canton, Ohio/ Dublin Jerome) each pulled down seven boards while Reynolds and sophomore forward Berit Eppard (Englewood, Colo./ Cherry Creek) had four offensive rebounds each as the Spartans accumulated 21 caroms on the offensive glass. Iafelice also led Case with seven assists and four steals while Mueller had a game-high three blocks.
The Judges continue their UAA schedule on Friday January 18th at Chicago with a 7:00 p.m. start. The Spartans return home for a UAA matchup with Emory on Friday January 18th with a 6:00 p.m. tip-off.

I am a Harry Potter fan, simply because I prefer good writing, deep characters, actual conflicts and beautifully crafted worlds over Twilight's content. Posted over a year ago

I knw that many of you hv read the books and watched the Harry Potter series. At first, I liked it very much, but later on, it got really boring to the point I had to force myself to watch tthe movies and read the books. I know that I don't "have" to force myself to do anything, but there was no other way to spend my holidays. One of my friends, who is a Potter fan recommended this series to me and gave me all the movies and books. I finished reading all the movies and also finished reading all the books. At the end, I was really disappointed.
A werewolf, by most common lore, is a human that has been bitten by another werewolf, so said human transforms into a werewolf at full moon. Remus Lupin is a prime example for the fact that we know he was bitten by Fenrir Greyback, a notorious werewolf. Jacob Black is another popular example but I will break that down later in this article. First a VERY important thing you must know is that a werewolf isn't aware of his or her doing while in werewolf form. Remus Lupin was required to leave school grounds every full moon, so he is a true werewolf. Jacob Black, however, is completely aware of...
*I used to like Twilight until I started really reading it and it seemed like the more I heard or read into it, the more negative things I would find. This is coming from an unbiased point of view; Me being a fan of Harry Potter has nothing to do with my opinion.
Why I hate Twilight and think it is a bad example of love:
? Bella is incredibly disrespectful, insensitive, and rude to her own parents. She even calls them by their first names. She thinks her dad is a 'dumb*** and constantly says he can't look after himself and she calls her...
twilight and harry potter do not mix im sorry people but know twilightbis the classic romance between a human/bella and vampire/Edward
and harry potter is a action fighting movie so im am truly sorry i am a twilight crazzy if you want to know more go onto my page and right good/bad comments
as usly i finish my article with a song so here it gose
toxic song britny spears
Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I honestly don't hate, dislike, like or love Twilight. It's just neutral with me. I never really had any problem with it until I saw an article saying that Harry Potter copied Twilight. The person who wrote it also went so far as to say that J.K. Rowling is ugly and that Stephenie Meyer is the pretty one. It just irked me, because the looks don't even matter (they're both equal too) and it's not a valid point.
She said something about Sirius Black being copied from Jacob Black - who is commonly described as a big wolf in his werewolf form. And Sirius (she spelled it as 'Serious'....
Let's just get this straight before you go harping on my article because I'm a Twitard. Because I'm not. I'm just getting a little sick of Bella Swan being called "too perfect". She's perfect about to the extent that I am a Twilight fan. Which is to say, not at all.
OK, Let me tell you a story about a REAL Mary-Sue.
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Anastasia B. Ana was in 6th grade, she was tiny for the age of ten (she skipped kindergarten), she was absolutely adorable, and she was in Gifted and 7th grade math. Boys all loved her, and she could...
All credits go to Das_Mervin's sporking of the Twilight series: link
I just wanted to cut out this snippet and paste it here because I completely agree here. There is no being that's invincible, no matter how unnecessarily overpowered you make them.
Meyer thinks that humans are limited to two types of weapons: guns and slow-moving bombs. Oh, Meyer. You silly, silly bitch. There is one thing that we humans have been...
ok so I found this stupid person listing all the reasons why twilight is better than twilight. so I replied to every single one. and this is her picture:
1. Robert Pattinson, can you say HOT? And he's totally sexy when he sparkles!
So? Hotness has absolutely no correlation to acting ability. He was also in Harry Potter first.
2. Taylor Lautner, I mean, have you SEEN those muscles?
NOT HOT. Strange nose, closed up eyes and no acting ability. That is just my personal opinion. As I said, hotness has no...
Logical reasons...
why Harry Potter v.s Twilight
Hi! I'm Cinnominbubble and I have noticed the war between fandoms have been going on for a while with no clear outcome. There is a reason to this-We are stubborn. Twihards want to stick up for Stephanie Meyer, whilst Potterheads want to do the same for J. K. Rowling. But, I have noticed something. Many of our reasonings aren't exactly logical. I mean, not to be offensive, some of our strongest points are downright idiotic!(from both sides) I'd like to come up with some smarter...

Vaccine Choices
What options are available to parents in their choice about vaccines? First, parents may decide they want less than the total range of recommended vaccines. It comes as a surprise to some parents that they can choose to have one or some vaccines and refuse others. You are responsible for your child's health. You are in control. If a child suffers a dramatic and tragic reaction to a vaccine, it is the parents who must cope with it. The doctors may be sympathetic, but they are personally uninvolved. They view it merely as a casualty in the war against disease, if they admit any culpability at all.
When would a parent choose to give some vaccines and not others? Simply stated, some vaccines apparently represent a more dangerous threat to the body than others. This is inferred from the types of immediate, short-term reactions that we can observe. We assume that those vaccines with the most dramatic short-term toxicity also pose a more dangerous risk for long-term reactions, though this has not been proven because no one has studied the long-term effects of vaccines.
Given that the long-term risks are unknown, parents usually make choices about individual vaccines based on the history of short-term reactions they have caused. The pertussis, measles, and rubella vaccines tend to cause more significant observable reactions than others, though hepatitis and polio vaccines can also cause serious illness. The most commonly avoided vaccine is pertussis because by now, after more than sixty years of medical reports of horrific reactions (deaths, epilepsy, and retardation) from the whole-cell pertussis vaccine, public fear of the vaccine has mounted. The fact that many other countries have abandoned the pertussis vaccine has strengthened the resolve of many parents to also refuse the vaccine. These parents have held their ground, and many physicians, though they may not take the same position, admit that a parent's concern about possible reactions may be justified, despite the consistent denial of the American vaccine industry.
Parents can pick and choose from the list of vaccines based on their own individual family's needs and their own research. They may decide that some diseases pose enough danger to their child to risk the adverse effects of the vaccine. Even a parent who has rejected most vaccines because of their potential adverse effects may choose to give one or a few individual vaccines. Typically, tetanus is a disease that concerns many parents. Since the vaccine causes less immediate severe reactions than others, because the vaccine always works to prevent tetanus, and because tetanus represents a life-threatening situation when it does occur, parents who refuse other vaccines sometimes opt to get the tetanus shots for their child. A parent's concern may be greater for a very active child, especially around horses, since both these factors increase the risk of wounds and exposure to tetanus. Other families may be considering travel to areas of the world (Asia or Africa) where polio still exists, and they will consider giving that vaccine even if they realize that polio does not occur in their own part of the world.
Typically, parents will avoid and refuse specific vaccines for two reasons. Either they fear serious vaccine reactions because of a vaccine's history, or the disease causes so little concern that the vaccine does not seem necessary to them. Other diseases represent a greater threat, and parents may feel more secure giving the vaccine than risking the disease in their child.
When parents make an informed choice, they will be taking responsibility for their own child's health care, doing their best to ensure that child's safety and future. An informed choice requires information.
Adverse events resulting from vaccines may be due to the bacterial toxin or virus component of the vaccine, or to the chemicals used in the preparation and preserving of the solution. These chemicals include mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum, and a variety of other known toxic materials.
Vaccine reactions are notoriously under-reported. Many factors contribute to the reluctance of physicians to report a vaccine reaction, not the least of which is outright denial. Self-protection and self-reassurance are other psychological motives. Physicians do not want to admit that they have caused a problem. They like to think that their interventions are helpful, not harmful. They have also been assured and instructed by the vaccine industry that certain reactions that parents regularly observe, such as brain damage and death, cannot be attributed to the vaccines. A whole range of bizarre and pathological behaviors that infants display after they receive vaccines must have another cause, they argue. It would have occurred anyway, regardless of the shot.
Short-term reactions
Immediate or short-term reactions following vaccine administration have been consistently reported in the medical literature since vaccines have been in common use. Reports of these reactions have caused rebellion within the populations of various countries, and governments have responsed in various ways.
In 1975, Japanese parents refused to give their children the pertussis vaccine after widespread publication of two deaths following vaccination. The Japanese government changed its policy in response to this protest, and delayed the recommended age for vaccination until two years. During the late nineteenth century, individuals in the United States protested that mandatory smallpox vaccination infringed upon their constitutional right of personal liberty. The issue was brought to trial and, in 1905, the Supreme Court upheld the rule that state police power included the need to protect its citizens from diseases. All cases since then have resulted in the same conclusion based on this precedent. When European countries began suspecting that the pertussis vaccine was dangerous, they eliminated it from the recommended schedule of childhood vaccinations. When parents in the United States have refused to administer this vaccine to their children, however, their children have been taken into protective custody by the state.
The Vaccine Safety Committee, established by the Institutes of Medicine, has ruled that the evidence proves, or favors, a causal relation between vaccines and the following adverse effects:
Long-Term Reactions
Deep controversy also surrounds the issue of delayed or long-term reactions, because these do not have a clear causal link to vaccines. In vaccine-industry jargon, they are not "temporally related" - that is the definition of a delayed reaction. For example, how do we know that the increased number of ear infections in a population of vaccinated children, or in any individual child, was caused by the vaccine? No one has studied this question. How do we know that the rise in attention disorders in school-age children has a relationship to vaccines? It would seem to be a logical conclusion, but no one has studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated children. Parents must make judgments in this area based on the experience of other parents and practitioners whose children and patients have not been vaccinated.
In general, such parents and practitioners agree that their children are healthier, and suffer fewer recurrent infections, than their vaccinated counterparts. This may help reassure parents who choose not to vaccinate, but it obviously carries no scientific weight.
Critics of vaccinations have asserted that vaccines are capable of causing recurrent infections in children because they weaken the immune system. They say that the dramatic rise in ear infections, allergies, and asthma in children can be attributed (at least in part) to the damaging effects of vaccines. The incidence of asthma, the most serious and life-threatening of these conditions, has steadily increased in the modern era since the introduction of vaccines. Just during the period 1980 through 1989 the prevalence rate of self-reported asthma in the United States increased 38 percent, and the death rate for asthma increased 46 percent (Centers for Disease Control, 1992). Just in the five years from 1985 through 1990, projected estimates for asthma's medical costs increased 53 percent. The total estimated cost of asthma rose from $4.5 billion to $6.2 billion, or 1 percent of all US health-care costs (Weiss et al., 1992). This dramatic increase has been attributed to increased exposure to environmental pollutants, and to the toxic effect of asthma medications themselves, but the increasing burden on the immune system caused by vaccines could also be responsible.
One of the most compelling arguments that points to vaccines as a cause of immune system dysfunction is the dramatic improvement that occurs in these cases following homeopathic treatment of the vaccine adverse effects. When a homeopathic doctor sees a child with recurrent infections, respiratory symptoms, or nervous system disorders which began after a vaccine, a common treatment protocol includes the prescription of a homeopathic preparation of the vaccine itself. This serves to antidote the adverse effect of the vaccine. Dramatic recoveries have been recorded in the homeopathic literature, including cases of immediate febrile reactions after vaccines and long-term illness patterns that resolved subsequent to the homeopathic treatment (Smits, 1995; Schaffer, 1995; Moskowitz, 1991; Moskowitz 1983).
The Institute of Medicine Vaccine Safety Committee identifies various autoimmune phenomena as well-documented adverse effects of vaccines. Many of these autoimmune responses to vaccines result in permanent, chronic disease conditions. The committee's report acknowledges the repeated incidence of specific autoimmune diseases triggered by vaccines that attack nerves and cause destruction of the nerve sheath (myelin). These demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), have plagued the vaccine industry. Reports of their occurrence following vaccination continue to pour in from around the world. In their attempt to explain the repeated occurrence of demyelinating autoimmune diseases that occur as reactions to vaccines, the committee members admit that,

Uncle Dave 's Girls
Christy Hopper
After arriving in Miami Dave checked them into a beachfront hotel. Dave made sure that he got only one room with one bed. He made it quite clear to Julie that ever chance he got that he was going to fuck her. As for Julie she had no problem knowing that she was going to be his fuck toy, as a matter of fact she was looking forward to more of her sexual adventures with new lover.
Once they were in the room Dave asked Julie to strip for him, He knew that she was beautiful but he felt like he didn't get the full effect of her beauty on the plane. Dave sat down on the bed watching as Julie slowly and purposely stripped for him.
She started by untying the white tank top removing it, not wearing a bra; he smiles as he sees her beautiful brown round thirty-two inch tits for the first time. She turns her back to him and unzips the black cut off shorts, letting them fall to the floor Dave finely got a good look at the ebony beauty. Wearing a black thong she slowly turned to face him.
The look on his face and the bulge in his pants said it all. "My god you're flawless." he said as he walked towards her. Dave began to caress her beautiful brown tits. Her small frame quivered with excitement of a young girl's first time. Dave continues to be amazed by his black lovers' body. Like a well-trained physician he explored every inch of the twenty-year-old.
Her smooth brown skin felt and tasted like a rich creamy chocolate, her young tender body was one of god's greatest creations. Dave scoops Julie up into his arms and laid her on the king sizes bed, Dave's cravings for the young girl was nearly beyond his control. Once on the bed Dave was overpowered with lust for her.
He slowly began with a deep full kiss slipping his tongue deep inside her mouth, The taste of her full lips made his heart race with desire. Julie lay perfectly still on the bed while he did whatever he wanted. Once Dave got undressed he returned to the bed where he began to massage her young coach. Pulling the black thong she was wearing to the side exposing the sweet juicy pussy that was waiting for him. Dave couldn't wait any longer as he buried his face between her thighs. He was sucking and eating pussy at a rate that made his head span. Julie moans as she enjoys the pleasure that her lover was given. Dave sucked her pussy so hard, so good that she could barely keep from cumin. The taste of her young black pussy was intoxicating.
There wasn't a spot on Julie's body that Dave hadn't touched. As soon as he was done pleasuring her, it was his turn. Dave pulled Julie up from the bed, grabbing her head he forces her down to her knees, waving his six-inch dick in her face he orders her to suck it. Just like before it became apparent that Julie loved sucking dick.
After Julie had finished she went in to take a shower, while standing under the steamy hot water she wonder what her family and friends would say if they could see her now. She was always thought of as the good little girl, the girl who never did anything wrong. She was the pride of her family; her mom and dad always expected their only daughter to do great things. So she wondered as she wrapped a towel around her, what they would say if they knew that she had been screwing a man that she had known for only a day. She sat on the side of the bath tub and thought of Roger her old boyfriend. She wondered what he would say if he could see her now, after all they had gone together all though high school and she had never give it up for him But then Roger had said that he wanted to wait until they were married.
As far as her family was concern she was still the sweet little virgin that left six months to study art in Africa. Little did they know that the day she arrive in Africa her art professor informed her that if she wanted to pass the course that she would have to give up the pussy.
That night her professor and two of his colleagues took turns as Julie lost her virginity not only to her professor but to two men that she had never seen before that night. As Julie apply body lotion she remembers her first time. Professor Stevens had been one of her favorite art teachers, as well as being an old friend of her father. Julie had been taken art classes since she was in ten years old. After she graduated high school she decided to take some college courses in art to see if she had any talent. Her father told her about his old friend Jack Stevens who was an art professor at the local college. From their first meeting it was obvious that there was a fire between Jack Stevens and his new student. Jack was a good art teacher, but the only reason he wanted to work at the college was for the young snatch he could get.
Julie returns fresh from her shower, Dave tells her that he would like to take their adventure to a new level. As he was about to explain a knock on the door interrupted them. Dave walks over and opens the door to fine his sweet little Anita.
Anita was so happy to hear from her favorite uncle. She had thought of little else since the last time she saw him, except for how much pleasure he had given her and the fact that she couldn't wait to see him again. She walks in looking as lovely as every, wearing a red mine skirt with a white halter top that showed every inch of her gorgeous body. With her beautiful white tanned skin and her long red hair that was held up a hair clip, Dave welcomed his young niece.
Closing the door behind her, grapping her and pinning her back up against the door. Kissing her as he ran his hands up and down her long lean body stopping only to caress her soft firm white tits. Reaching under her skirt pulling down her black thong exposing the mount of thick red pussy hair. Spreading her legs open as wide as she can, Dave was about to help himself to he niece's sweet young kitty when he heard Julie clearing her throat.
After pulling them selves together Dave lead Anita over to the bed
where Julie was sitting, still wrapped in a bath towel. Sitting there looking at this young Julie wondered who she was and why in the hell was she there for.
"Anita this is Julie" Anita looked down at the black woman sitting there. She knew that she was probably her uncle's lover. Since he had been gone Anita's mother had told her daughter stories of her uncle's sexual escapades, not knowing that her daughter had been one of his conquest.
"How do you do"? Anita asked, never taking her eyes off of Julie.
"Who's she" Julie asked with a touch of jealousy in her voice.
"This is Anita, my niece."
Julie was shocked to say the least, it was obvious that Dave wanted to fuck her. Dave sat on the side of the bed, putting his arm around Julie, rubbing the back of her shoulders he began to explain the reason why Anita is there
He tells Julie that from the first time he laid eyes on her that he had only one fantasies and that was to fuck her and Anita at the same time.
"But Dave didn't you say she was your niece?
" And you say you want to do us both." Julie said
Just as Julie was trying to come to gripes with the fact that Dave was fucking his very own niece, and that he wanted to fucked the both of them together. Anita walks over to Julie and began to check her out.
"You were right Uncle Dave she is lovely". She said, as she pulled Julie to her feet.
The white towel that was draped around Julie tumbled to the floor. The sight of Julie's exquisite young black body turned both Dave and Anita on. Anita approached Julie with great excitement, placing her hands on Julie's shoulder she slowly started moving her hands down until they reached Julie's harden nipples.
Julie wanted to scream but when she looked over at Dave who seem to be loving every moment watching his young niece seduce his new young lover she decid
ed that it would be best just to play along. Anita continued as she explored Julie's beautiful body, her rich sable skin still g
listening from her shower turned Anita on. Anita had never thought of herself as gay, but the sight of this exquisite woman standing before her made her unsure. All she was sure of is that she wanted her, and it had nothing to do with pleasing her uncle.
Dave orders Julie to lie down on the bed, while Anita undresses. Dave tells Anita that she can do whatever she wants, he just want to watch for now. Anita crawls onto the bed where a very nerves Julie was waiting. Anita quickly takes charge by telling her uncle to tie Julie's hands and legs to the bed. Dave obeys Anita's request by taking four of his neckties from his suitcase and tying Julie spread-eagle on the bed.
Anita was now in control, as she had full access to the lovely Julie. First Anita fingers fucks her in and out as waves of pleasure overwhelmed her body. Uncle Dave's fixation on the two girls was intense to say the least as Dave sat in a chair playing with his dick. By now Anita had buried her tongue deep into Julies sweet young pussy. Julie's pleasurable moans excites Anita as Dave eggs her on.
"That's right baby you eat all that sweet little pussy. "
The encouragement moved Anita to the next level. Asking her uncle to hand her the gold handbag that she brought with her. Reaching in to what she calls her goodie bag, she pulls out a long black strap-on dildo. Anita could see the excitement on her uncle's face as she strapped on her tool. Anita climbed on top of Julie's lovely young body, guiding her long black dick deep into Julie's love hole, Anita felt Julie give in to the passion she was feeling. Julie started to rotate her hips in rhythm to Anita's thrust her black dick into her pussy.
As his girls did their dance of passion, Dave was finding it impossible to hold back. Dave had been masturbating for over an hour, and couldn't believe just how hard he had gotten. He joint the two girls on the king sizes bed, running his hands all over Anita's gorgeous young ass, pushing aside one of the stripes exposing her delicious asshole.
Dave mounded her ass driving his perfect six inch dick into her asshole. As Dave pumped her ass, Anita continues to pound Julie's tender body. As Uncle Dave pulls out of his niece's ass, he throw her on top of the bed, removing her strip-on and spreading her legs apart Dave mounds and fucks his kid sister's baby girl, while at the same time he finds his black lovers who is still tied to the bed, with his fingers giving Julie maximum pleasure.
After a few hours of intense rough sex Anita was send home very grateful for the time that she got to spent with her favorite uncle and his friend. As for Dave and Julie they both went their separate ways after a week. When Julie returned to New York she never talked about where she was or what she did that week, but when she read Today's World Magazine there would always be a smile on her face.

WH: Obama opposes Boy Scouts' policy barring gays, won't step down as honorary president
(CBS News) WASHINGTON - The White House affirmed on Wednesday that President Obama opposes the Boy Scouts' policy barring gay scouts and scoutmasters. But he has no intention of stepping down as the organization's honorary president, a White House spokesman tells CBS News.
After a confidential two-year review, the Boy Scouts of America last month reaffirmed its policy of excluding gays from participation as members or leaders.
Mr. Obama has yet to personally offer any public comment on the action, but White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told CBS News that the president "opposes discrimination in all forms," including the Boy Scouts policy that "discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation."
Carney made it clear, however, that Mr. Obama will not resign from the organization as its honorary president, though a gay rights group has urged him to do so.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has called on Pres Obama to "reconsider" his role as honorary president of the Scouts, citing the group's policy of discrimination.
The Boy Scouts of America says every U.S. President since 1910 has served as its honorary president during his term in office.
Carney told CBS News that despite the group's policy of discrimination, Mr. Obama believes the Boy Scouts "is a valuable organization that has helped educate and build character in American boys for more than a century."
Because the president is declining to abdicate his honorary role with the organization, Darlene Nipper, deputy executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, urges him to use his leadership to help the Scouts "evolve" on the issue of gay participation.
"He is in a unique position to do so, as someone who has had his own evolution on issues related to marriage equality," said Nipper.
Mitt Romney is on record supporting "the right of the Boy Scouts of America" to decide its own policy on barring gays from participation.
At the same time, Romney has said he feels "all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation."

Both Goals Come Off Corner Kicks
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's soccer team used a balanced performance to knock off America East preseason favorite Hartford on Wednesday night. The Bulldogs scored a pair of goals off corner kicks and limited the Hawks' scoring chances in a very efficient 2-0 victory on a chilly night at Reese Stadium.
After allowing 11 goals in two games last weekend, Yale smothered Hartford's offense, allowing the Hawks just eight shots, very few of which were high quality chances.
"I was happy we got the shutout," said Yale head coach Rudy Meredith. "In the last few days we watched some film and really emphasized cleaning up our defensive performance."
Offensively, Yale capitalized on two corner kicks in the second half. Shannon McSweeney scored her first career goal at 57:54 to snap a scoreless tie, and Muriel Battaglia added the insurance goal at 74:32. Both goals were headers directly off a corner kick.
"The last time we scored two goals in a game off of headers, I had an afro," Meredith joked.
The other common denominator on both goals was Frannie Coxe, who sent the long balls into the box.
"We recruited Frannie for her ball striking ability," Meredith said. "I remember watching her take free kicks in high school. It's probably her biggest strength."
Coxe now leads the team with five assists.
Getting goals from McSweeney and Battaglia also was a welcome sight for Meredith. Entering the game, Yale's eight goals had come from three different players.
"We certainly want to be more balanced," Meredith said.
Goalkeepers Elise Wilcox and Rachel Ames each played a half to combine for the shutout, Yale's second of the season.
With a 4-1 record, the Bulldogs are off to their best start since the 2004 team won its first five games of the season.
Wednesday was the start of a busy week for Yale, which hosts Sacred Heart on Friday and is at Fairfield on Sunday. The Ivy League opener, Sept. 28 at Princeton, also is looming on the horizon.
"This is a very important stretch," Meredith said. "We have to be very careful that we try and stay healthy and fit. It's tricky."
Meredith used 19 players against the Hawks but four – McSweeney, Anna McCahon, Meredith Speck and Melissa Gavin – played the full 90 minutes.
Friday's game with Sacred Heart is a 7 p.m. kickoff at Reese.

David Dewhurst's Senate campaign Monday released a new online-only ad throwing a dramatic jab at Ted Cruz.
The bit, complete with "B-Horror" film grain and creepy music, alleges Cruz's involvement in defending private builder Robert Mericle, a key player in a 2008 scandal known as the "kids for cash" scheme. Mericle was accused of bribing two Pennsylvania judges into harshly sentencing juvenile delinquents to his private facility in exchange for kickbacks.
"What won't Ted Cruz do for money?" the ad copy asks.
According to The Dallas Morning News, Cruz did not defend Mericle against criminal charges, but did represent him in an appeal against Traveler's Insurance Company. A U.S. District court had ruled the insurers were not liable for legal costs or damages against Mericle resulting from the allegations.
"This Pennsylvania prison scandal is just as unrelated to the Texas primary as are Chinese mining tires," said Cruz spokesman James Bernsen. "Ted Cruz has never represented this individual in any criminal proceeding anywhere."

Most people know the San Antonio Food Bank is engaged in feeding hungry people. What many people may not know is that for many years we have also been involved in training people for jobs and helping them get placed in jobs. Part of my guiding business philosophy for us has been to "feed the line" and "shorten the line." But how do we put this into practice each week?
Feed the line is definitely about getting food to hungry people; but feeding hungry people is no longer just about getting nonperishable food items like rice, beans, tuna, and peanut butter to a family. These days we take things like obesity and diabetes into consideration as we set a nourishing table for families. People are always surprised to learn that nearly 50 percent of what we give out in a week is perishable food (items like produce, dairy and even frozen meats). We also put nearly a dozen bilingual nutrition educators out into the community each day, helping teach people how to shop for healthy food and prepare healthier meals with foods they may not be used to using.
Shorten the line is all about helping people find dignity through work. Working is so great because it not only can provide nourishing food, but it simultaneously brings us new options, increased dignity, and the satisfaction of providing for one's needs. Whether it is through our unique culinary arts training programs (including engaging homeless individuals from Haven for Hope), our warehouse and inventory training effort, or our general effort of listening to families when they arrive at our door hungry and assessing their work needs (which last month placed 40 people to work!), shortening the line is probably some of the most nourishing business we can be about.
More than ever, our community needs your support of food, time, money and voice. On Thursday, Oct. 11, at 5:30 p.m., you are invited to visit the San Antonio Food Bank and learn how we are partnering with other local nonprofits to fight hunger, improve education, promote healthy living and place people in jobs. You can tour our facility, see the exciting expansions that are taking place and meet our collaborative partners. To get additional details and register, visit http://hungrytohelp.eventbrite.com/#.
If you can't attend on Oct. 11, but want to learn how you can get engaged, visit our website at www.safoodbank.org. Our efficient and effective business will put your donation of funds to great use (every $1 of your support helps us provide seven meals) and every hour of donated time volunteering is money saved that we can spend feeding people. With your help, we may not only feed and shorten the line; we may actually take one step closer to ending the line.
Eric Cooper is President and CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank.

General Motors: GM's IT Network Drives Business Success with Cisco. Executive Perspectives Part 3
Check out this part 3 of our Executive Perspectives series. Here we follow on from Part 1: Executive Perspectives and AkzoNobel – Manufacturing Industry CIO/CXO Special – Part 1, and Part 2: Executive Perspectives Part 2 – Toyota Streamlines Business with Cisco, and look at how another of Cisco's customers in the automotive industry has partnered to gain real business benefits. The video about GM"s IT Network Drives Business Success is on the Cisco News Site (click link here). The YouTube Video below is the fun Superbowl ad!
Here I talk about a case study prepared by Mainstay Partners LLC, an independent consulting firm, who interviewed with the manufacturer's executives, IT executives and IT planning personnel. The case study looks at GM's Cisco-based Plant Floor Controls Network (PFCN), and found out the following about what it is, what it does, how it help's with General Motor's Business challenges, and where GM goes from here.
As you all know, General Motors (GM) is one of the world's iconic automakers, and GM continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the global auto industry. The company has sharpened its strategic focus in recent years and is now moving aggressively to seize high-growth opportunities in emerging markets such as Asia, and redoubling efforts to improve product quality and boost operating efficiencies to drive down costs.
To execute this strategy, GM embraced a globally unified business model that emphasized the deployment of highly standardized engineering and manufacturing platforms that could be easily implemented and supported in any market around the world.
This global, standards-based operating model would accelerate GM's move into emerging markets and generate efficiencies and cost savings through the use of common infrastructure components and processes.
Among other initiatives designed to support the new unified operating model, GM invested in information technologies to more tightly integrate its manufacturing plants across the globe, control costs, and accelerate the introduction of new communications and collaboration applications. Key to this strategy was the implementation of a modern, standards based network architecture – called the Plant Floor Controls Network (PFCN) – at more than 150 GM manufacturing plants worldwide.
Based on a single set of Cisco-based network designs and equipment, the PFCN solution replaced GM's aging and heavily customized legacy networks that were becoming increasingly unreliable, as well as difficult and expensive to maintain. The move to the PFCN solution enabled GM to standardize the design of each plant network and establish a single engineering team that monitors and troubleshoots network operations globally. The result: network downtime has dropped by about 70%, leading to fewer unplanned work stoppages on the plant floor. Furthermore, GM now needs two-thirds fewer network engineers and analysts to support the same number of plants.
The standardized Cisco network design also helped GM rationalize and reduce its legacy inventory of network devices and spare parts, cutting inventory carrying costs by 70%. It also allowed GM tocreate cost-efficient "global applications" that can be rolled out to plants quickly, and to automate system-management tasks like upgrades and patches. As a result, GM now spends 30% less time managing plant software. According to a conservative analysis by Mainstay Partners, GM's investment in the Cisco-based PFCN solution will generate a return on investment (ROI) of 166%.
1 The full range of benefits is illustrated in Figure 1 and include:
• $21.2 million in labor cost savings from more efficient deployment of network engineers
• $53.9 million in labor cost saving from more efficient deployment of network operations analysts
• $16.4 million one-time savings from faster, network setups at each plant
• $5.4 million cost reductions from leaner inventory management
• $76.3 million in lost unit profit contribution from higher network up-time
Want to know more about these numbers, how Mainstay came to these conclusions, and what's in store for the future? Click on this text to go straight to the Case Study. But, spoiler alert re the future, the new IP-based networks will enable GM to keep pace with new advances in plant-floor devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which increasingly incorporate IP technology.
In addition, PFCN will help GM integrate future communication applications that facilitate high-efficiency collaboration among its workforce while minimizing the risks associated with these deployments. Two really important areas. But there's more. Check out the case study for more information by clicking here.
Some research and analysis for a General Motors case study was conducted by Mainstay Partners LLC, an independent consulting firm that has performed over 300 studies for leading information technology providers like Cisco. This case study was based on interviews with the retailer's executives, IT executives and IT planning personnel, review of project planning documents, and searches of industry literature. ROI calculations use industry standard assumptions regarding the time value of money. Information contained in the publication has been obtained from sources considered reliable, but is not warranted by Mainstay Partners LLC.

Boeing and Airbus, the world's biggest aircraft manufacturers, say they aren't that worried about a slowdown in the global airline industry, which is expected to see profits plunge by more than half this year.
The industry may be facing economic headwinds, especially in Europe, but Boeing hasn't seen a significant pullback in orders, Jim Albaugh, Chief Executive Officer of Boeing Commercial Airplane told CNBC on Monday in Beijing.
"We've got a backlog of about 4,000 airplanes, that's over $300 billion and we should do pretty good this year," Albaugh said. "You always have cancellations, you always have some deferrals. Yes, we have seen some, but nothing out of the ordinary."
Boeing, which last year announced plans to build a newer version of its narrow-bodied 737, called the 737 MAX, has so far notched up around 450 orders. Speaking to CNBC, Albaugh said the company hopes to have a thousand orders for the plane before the year is done.
The global airline industry is expected to see profits cut by more than half to $3 billion this year from $7.9 billion last year, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Monday. A double whammy of more expensive oil, which makes up a third of airlines' cost, and a weak global economy, will continue to hurt the industry, Tony Tyler, Director General of IATA told CNBC on Monday.
"Fuel prices have come down a little bit but…It's still very high by historic standards," Tyler said. "And the reason it has come down is that the economic outlook is not so good. This is going to be a mixed blessing for airlines. The cost side is improving but if the economy weakens, traffic slows and yields fall, then it's not going to make life much easier for airlines."
Europe's carriers are expected to lose $1.1 billion, double a previous estimate of $600 million released in March, IATA said on Monday, basing its forecast on the assumption that Brent crude will average $110 this year.
Despite a bleak economic environment, bright spots exist in North America and Asia, where profits will still hold up, Tyler said in Monday's interview.
Airlines are in fact still placing orders and reports that manufacturers have had to aggressively slash prices are exaggerated, Airbus said on Monday.
"We've got a record high backlog right now," John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer told CNBC in Beijing. "In fact, we've got about 4 to 5 years of production. If we don't sell anything for the next 4 to 5 years, we'll be running flat out with our assembly line so it's a little bit exaggerated that there's a price war going on."
Airbus has received orders for about 250 planes so far this year, compared to net orders of around 1,400 last year after the company redesigned its narrow-body A320 with more fuel-efficient engines and wings. Orders for its new A320neo jets, helped the company post record sales last year, a feat unlikely to be repeated this year.

Markets were still highly volatile this week and the lack of certainty has pushed Gold to new record highs. Stocks are suffering from fears of a double-dip recession due to weak economic data in practically every sector.
Early in the week, the markets were buoyed by the European Central Bank announcing that last week it began buying Italian and Spanish securities. According to Christoph Rieger, head of fixed-income strategy at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, "The market optimists will interpret this number as good news as it underscores the ECB's resolve…Equally, the pessimists will point out that it is bad news as it shows how much money the ECB had to commit for the yield compression seen." This came about primarily due to a failure of politicians to convince investors that the debt crisis could be contained. Many experts are pushing for a new "Eurobond," saying that such a common bond issuance would allow euro zone members to borrow at affordable rates, thereby solving the current debt crisis. However, the German government is strongly against the idea of issuing Eurobonds, fearing that such a move would increase borrowing costs for Germany while also reducing the incentive for troubled euro zone countries (such as Greece) to make necessary economic reforms.
All hopes of a common Eurobond went away on Tuesday; however, as the highly anticipated meeting between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday did not satisfy world investors. The growing feeling is that plans for closer monitoring of fiscal policy in the euro zone are not enough to stop the debt problem from spreading to other countries. This news, along with weak data about the overall health of the German economy caused jittery traders to lose the shred of confidence they had gained over the previous few days.
All of this culminated in a massive selloff late in the week, led by large losses in European financial sector. World equity markets are plunging Thursday and Friday and the European banks are the cause for concern. Major Banks across the euro zone are sharply lower, as the news broke that the European Central Bank lent $500 million Euros to a euro zone bank, that had not requested a loan since last February. Although no details were offered, the market reads this as another sign of escalating difficulties in the European financial system, which could also affect U.S. banks.

In 2006, the United States Mint introduced its first 24-karat pure Gold coin: the Gold Buffalo Coin. The Gold Buffalo coin is designed after the famous 1913 Type 1 Buffalo Nickel created by James Earle Fraser. The obverse shows the well-known Indian Head design, and the reverse features the classic buffalo design.
The Native American depiction on the Gold coin's obverse is believed to be based on three different American Indians. Before his death, Fraser named two of the American Indians- Chief Iron Tail of the Lakota Sioux and Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne. Although many Indians have claimed to be the third Indian, Fraser could not recall the person's name. It is widely believed that the bison on the coin's reverse was modeled after Black Diamond, a popular attraction at the New York Zoological Gardens.
The 2006 and 2007 Gold Buffalo coins were a huge success; they provided pure-gold competition for the Canadian Gold Maple Leafs. The 2008-W Gold Buffalo is the prize of the Buffalo collection. 2008 is the only year fractional Gold American Buffalos were minted and they are scarce. The 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 Gold Buffalo coins are .9999 fine and are only available in a 1 oz coin.

Actress-model Liberty Ross has fuelled rumors she has reunited with her estranged husband, Rupert Sanders, following his fling with "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart by insisting she is "very happy" with her life.
The model was left reeling after photographs of her husband cozying up to Stewart emerged in July, and she was subsequently spotted in public without her wedding ring, sparking speculation the couple had split.
Earlier this month, rumors swirled that the couple had patched up its differences after they were spotted in a clinch following a marriage counseling session in Los Angeles – and now the "Snow White and the Huntsman" actress has told of her domestic bliss.
In a recently released video for fashion designer Alexander Wang's "Confessional" series, Ross discusses the new direction her life has taken and the two children she shares with Sanders – Skyla, 7, and Tennyson, 5.
In the clip, posted on Style.com, she says, "I have a really good balance. … I'm very happy with my life. I'm lucky. I have good people. I have two amazing children.
"I believe we're all on journeys and we're all given lessons at certain times in our life … sometimes when things seem really bad you have to be able to see the good and learn from it. … And move forward as graciously as possible.
"(This year was) the end of some things and the beginning of something else. Beginnings and endings are always really exciting."

Jed Graham cautions against unnecessarily swift recession at Investor's Business Daily.
While long-term deficit reduction is important and deficits remain very large by historical standards, the reality is that the government already has its foot on the brakes.
In this sense, the "fiscal cliff" metaphor is especially poor. The government doesn't need to apply the brakes with more force to avoid disaster. Rather the "cliff" is an artificial one that has sprung up because the two parties are able to agree on so little.
Hopefully, they will agree, as they did at the end of 2010, to embrace their disagreement for a bit longer. That seems a reasonably likely outcome of negotiations because the most likely alternative to a punt is a compromise (expiration of the Bush tax cuts for the top and the payroll tax cut, along with modest spending cuts) that could still push the economy into recession.

DARPA advances LS3 quadruped robot programView gallery - 41 images
Walking quadrupeds are being cast to play a major role in the rapidly unfolding age of robotics. The platform promises versatility far beyond that of wheeled-vehicles and will undoubtedly find applications in a wide variety of fields. Not surprisingly, the development of quadrupeds is being driven by the military and DARPA has recently boosted its efforts by awarding Boston Dynamics $32 million for the prototype phase of its Legged Squad Support System (LS3) program.
Boston Dynamics, an early leader in the quadruped field with its Big Dog project, has been engaged to deliver trade studies, detailed design work, and initial prototypes of the LS3 over a 30 month period.
LS3 is conceived as an autonomous support pack-robot for ground troops that can carry 400 pounds or more of payload, sustain itself for 24 hours and cover 20 miles in almost any kind of terrain.
To achieve this versatility over terrain where wheeled vehicles can't go, the goal is to develop different gaits - walking, trotting, and running or bounding - that enable the robot to negotiate ditches and rocky slopes.
The robot wont require human intervention, instead it will follow a leader using computer vision or travel to designated locations using GPS and other sensors.
Boston Dynamics is partnering with Bell Helicopter, AAI Corporation, Carnegie Mellon University, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Woodward HRT.
The program is a joint effort between DARPA's Tactical Technology Office (TTO) and the U.S. Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL).
