Songs & Meanings.
edited October 2010 in Lyrics & Tabs
Felt like getting a new thread going, one that I can say I started, haha. The thread is simple, someone name a song, and all of us try to give our own ideas on the meanings behind them. Maybe what kind of experiences we have had while listening to said song. I'll start with a newer song that Id like to hear your guys thoughts on. [b] I think I can[/b] What's in your way? What's nice about staying on the same things, What you, what you, get on and stay on? Well I guess, I'm just doing, what makes me feel good. So [Even if I could, Even if I could, You know I would Just come back to it anyhow] And I don't want And I don't want To keep myself ... And I know how Too many tough times ... And I don't want And I won't have To keep myself From you all Anyways And I know how Too many tough times ... What's in your way? What's nice about staying on the same things? What you, what you, get on and stay on Well I guess, I'm just doing what makes me feel good. So [Even if I could, Even if I could, You know I would Just come back to it anyhow] And I don't want And I don't want To keep myself From good And I know how Too many tough times You would And I don't want And I won't have To keep myself From you all Anyways And I know how Too many tough times ... Will I get to move on soon? I think I can I think I can I think I [What's happening to you?] [Try to say it. Do it.]
It still sounds like Noah is still trying to cope with his father's death. "Will I get to move on soon?" seems like the type of question you'd ask if you were dwelling on something for a long period of time. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on Water Curses.
yeah, I think it is about moving on from something incredibly serious in your life (probably his father's death). Trying to stop from keeping all the emotions to yourself and moving onto something better. I almost find it a narrative between two people, one trying to encourage the other to move on. Its not nice to dwell on the same old things. I feel like there's more too it than that, though. As it is with a lot of their songs, there seems to be some unspoken emotions and ideas that are conveyed with the words they choose.
Very cool that is what I was thinking. I read on songmeanings.net that some people thought it had to do with drug problems, but who knows. Its one of those songs though that I get really inspired too.
yeah, I feel like it could be easily related to many issues. It reminds me of moving on from a very serious relationship that was no good for you.
Whats your guys thoughts on Water Curses?
Water Curses is crazy complex, just like it sounds. reading the lyrics, I am entirely unsure of what it all means. It makes me think of standing on the edge of living your life to the full potential and creating beautiful things. It makes me think of the risk you take from going out on an edge and exploring your creativity to the max. You know, you can be entirely shot down. It makes me think of running on pure instinct. It makes me think of creating beautiful things when the entire world around is already beautiful. But i'm sure none of that is what it really means. What a complex song.
To me, it sounds kinda like a day with your best friend when you're a little kid, wandering through the forest and splashing in puddles and finding all that's good in this twisted world.
What are your thoughts on Peacebone?
Hi Mike! Nice to see you here. I'm not sure about the rest of the song but I think the chorus means to trust yourself and your instincts, and to be an individual.
An obsession with the past is like a dead fly And just a few things are related to the old times I think that means to stop trying to hold onto the past, no matter how incredibly happy it made you feel, because it's gone. Like you just broke up and still have tons of nostalgia, and you keep dwelling on the memories but you have to let it go.
I really love those two lines, Dusty.
[quote="we tigers"]I really love those two lines, Dusty.[/quote] and what's funny is that I can't stand those two lines because I disagree with them. Especially the second one. To me, that's just wrong. I believe things build on themselves and the past, present and future are all interrelated and interdependent. However, I appreciate that the next line is 'it's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides'. True. Just make sure you know which inside parts you are following (or outside dangly bits).
I guess you are right in a lot of ways but I find it a nice reminder to let go of some of the past. I know that what happens in the past is very important to who we are now but i'm a person who dwells on things far too much.
I guess I'm in the middle then, because I believe an obsession with the past is like a dead fly, but I don't think just a few things are related to the old times. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/razz.gif" alt=":P" title="razz" /><!-- s:P -->
yes, that's where I am too: maybe I sounded too extreme.
i find this song sad..Its looking back on the sad memories with someone and somehow wanting to move and break free
The left eye is just a piece of the picture that the maker of the site chose. There is no symbolism, and you need to stop obsessing over it. You're like some crazy conspiracy theorist or something. Calm your hormones and enjoy the music. Do you seriously think Animal Collective are set out on brainwashing their listeners?
What do you guys think about Forest Gospel on hollindigan? "Pull out the stick Pull out the prick" This song is crazy intense, they get SO into it. I wish i knew exactly what they were thinking.

haha, im pretty sure its "All you need a nick. Pull out the stick. Pull out the prick."
Tikwid. It's a pie? Berries in my heart bread? What?! I like some of the lines in the song, we've braided our hands together, we'll hide in my jar. But I don't really get the rest. SURPRISE. Help?
Avey is SUPER metaphorical. I'd imagine, after the chorus when he says its a pie.. he means like, all together its one thing. one good thing? idk, just throwing ideas. and berries in my heart bread could just be talking about a feeling he has. kinda like butterflys in my stomach.
my understanding of berries in heart bread: little sweet sticky bits in my heart. i know a lady or 5 i would certainly consider a berry in my heart bread, breaking up the homogeny of heart feeling BS with unadulterated tangy sweet unexpected fruit.
[quote="yukbon"]my understanding of berries in heart bread: little sweet sticky bits in my heart. i know a lady or 5 i would certainly consider a berry in my heart bread, breaking up the homogeny of heart feeling BS with unadulterated tangy sweet unexpected fruit.[/quote] You're awesome.
And you haven't even tasted my cooking. I once made a grilled cheese sandwich so great that I almost got a girlfriend out of it. (did not use heartbread to make it though, maybe that was the problem)
Regarding heartbread: berries and cheese might not be too tasty, unless it's one of those sweet cheeses like marscapone.
What about cheesecake with strawberry sauce?? I would like to hear peoples' thoughts on Banshee Beat. It's possibly my favorite song, period. I think it chronicles an entire relationship, from beginning to end. "someone in my dictionary's up to no good; I never find the very special words I should." The feelings of confusion and nervousness that come with the beginning of a relationship. Like the way you feel when you're first infatuated with someone, and worried about saying the right things and not embarrassing yourself. The only thing I can get from the next part is that "I sit on all your actions" is like how you feel jealous, and want that person all to yourself when it first begins. And the whole next part with the hearing it from your brother, the elderly wasp-stump, and whatnot: i think it's about something big happening, and hearing from an outside source like one of your friends or something instead of hearing about it from the person you should've heard it from. And like sinking feeling you have the instant you hear it. I get the feeling there are three people involved in this scenario actually... like a classic love triangle. Haha. I have no idea about the whole swimming pool thing. Maybe Avey has a specific memory associated with a swimming pool. And the end, I believe follows Avey's thoughts as he ponders over whether or not it was all worth it, and decides that it was because of all the memories. Anyway thoughts?
i've never made any sweet ones; i don't have much of a sweet tooth. but that's not a bad idea, actually. a grilled cheese pain perdu sort of thing. with some strawberries macerated w/ sugar as a sort of jam/chutney dipping sauce...
re: banshee beat i agree it's about relationships but i always took that "hear it from your brother" to be about sex -- you always learn about that kind of stuff from your slightly older friends/peers.
Banshee Beat has always been about the end of a relationship to me. (It was a big vice for me when I was going through a breakup) It starts with "wonder why it didn't work out." And then there's "gonna let you do your thinking if you need a while" and the words that sting. I think "and I really need to shower" part is about washing off the memories of the relationship (or purging something). I'm not sure what the swimming pool symbolizes but I always think of someone drowning themself (even though I'm sure it's not about that). I think the whole story about throwing the rock etc. is pleading with the other person not to leave ("we've had so many good times, don't go".). My favorite part is "you have your fits, I have my fits, but feeling is good." It's really true.
"It's funny how a thing like that could go out one ear and into another, next thing you know, you gotta hear it from your brother." I think this is about a rumor. And i agree, i think its about the end of a relationship, talking about the cons, but looking up on the strong side.
"and if you give a little, then you can get a little bit" Except to me it sounds like " you can die a little, you can die, a little bit", which to ME makes more sense. I was listening to this (while real high) last night with headphones and heard a bunch of stuff I have never noticed before. like that up there is what that really high voice is saying right near the end. I always thought this was a Panda song? Am I definitely wrong?
I don't know, but the lyrics are darkly metaphorical, and thats usually how Avey writes songs. So thats what i guessed.
May I start a discussion on We Tigers? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
do it!
Well what does everyone think about possible meanings? It always confuses me but I love it so much.
Oh gee, I always took that one literally.
I think its just about creation and pretty much speaks for itself.
Here's a perspective on the lyrics I haven't seen before, supposedly from Dave himself, probably off collected animules since it was 5 years ago. (I don't see the lyrics posted here, are they?) Maybe they'll help us look at it a bit differently. [quote]Hey kids lets pick up sticks lets make a sound of our own all dogs invited if everything feels wrong then we need a little bangin goin on. 123 arms (weapons) for the trees self seekers vomiting doubts I changed all your words but my poltergeist conccurs that words arent even necessery right now but im a noisy singer singing out a dinner but dinners are much stranger now everyone is morphing...Everything is morphing Tigers tigers...Crawl out katy did it katy did it...Crawl out.... oagers oagers oagers crawl out ive felt worse but i feel the curse of knowing what i shouldnt be dont know where well go but lets walk around and pretend to own houses we see kiss for a kiss, love change for chips, rules; but i though you and i? remember you young duck you crashed at my apartment you kept me up and made me smile Now im a noisy singer singing out a dinner.... [/quote]
there is such a wildness in this song lyrically and musically that I really love. I think its interesting how there is such a strong lyrical shift after the tigers tigers tigers. Its like the first 'stanza' (like a poem y'all), is about not feeling quite in place and changing to feel better. And then the final verse is to me, about falling for someone but knowing that even though things are fun they are wild and a part of it doesn't seem right. I don't know, I don't think any of it is very accurate but its what I think of when I read/hear the lyrics. obviously the line "i've felt worse but i feel the curse of knowing what I shouldn't be" really means a whole lot to me. Out of context to the song, just that single line so rings strongly to me because i've been there. There have been times in my life where i've felt worse, where i'm alright but I know that I should be somewhere else and I could do better. Its hard because sometimes you see people in the situation where they don't seem to realize that they are just 'alright' and could be 'great' and actually realizing that, even though it can help you in the end, it really does feel like a curse.
At first I thought that I'd rather not know I wasn't alright than knowing and being unable to do anything about it. I'm using to knowing, so I'd probably rather know. I believe you are 100% right on that line. And the rest of it, too.
If you didn't know than your life could never get better! I hate that feeling though, i really hate that feeling that results from knowing that things aren't right, in one way or another.
not everything is wrong but there's certainly a LOT that isn't bright!

The Data Portability blog reports that the recent Power.com lawsuit accuses Facebook of being a monopoly,
"Facebook's conduct constitutes monopolization (or attempted monopolization, ed.) of the market for social networking website services…"
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has been tracking the recent moves by Facebook to control and exploit user data and addition of Twitter and FriendFeed-like features. It wants to be your one and only social destination where you can tweet, blog, share, and heck, even search for content. Regardless of whether you think Facebook + FriendFeed news is all hype or if you're truly concerned about the future of FriendFeed – one dangerous trend that's undeniable in this saga, is this move towards consolidation in the social media space.
For those who argue that it's all about survival of the fittest, this acquisition is anything but that. Acquisitions of strong startups like FriendFeed stack the odds in favor of the weakest species that no one wants to buy and yet, they continue to exist, even if for no other reason, than to fill the void left by the strongest of the pack. One can hope that a strong startup is replaced by another stronger alternative, but if that startup too gets acquired before reaching critical mass, where does that leave the users?
I think it's fantastic that talent is recognized and well-deserving entrepreneurs get their turn at the big pay-off. But there's a real danger that if these acquisition sprees continue unchecked, it will dramatically reduce the choices for users, who are the real losers in this deal. When strong startups are bought out, all that the users are left with are mediocre me-too sites that don't add any value or goliaths that have too much control over their online data.
The debate around FriendFeed acquisition is much more than just rooting for the underdog and all that fluff. What many are glossing over is the underlying truth, which is – by taking over FriendFeed, Facebook has just about eliminated the only real competition that the uber-site has today in the social networking space.
FriendFeed is much more than just a social network. It offers social conten aggregation, social media client, micro-blogging, real-time threaded conversations, and much more, all rolled up into one. Despite the steep learning curve, it trumps other social networks (including Facebook) in richness of features and robustness of the system.
In a short amount of time, it's gone from a social aggregator on steroids to a feature-rich platform that even the popular sites are copying. By buying FriendFeed at this critical stage in its lifecycle, Facebook no longer has to worry if this site will take off and threaten its dominance in the near future.
Wouldn't be least bit surprising if FriendFeed is shut down within a year, if not sooner, after Facebook's ripped off every possible feature and integrated it into the mother-ship.
And why wouldn't Facebook keep this wonderful community alive, you ask? Oh yeah…I am sure Facebook would love to retain that passionate and vocal base of users who love FriendFeed precisely because it's NOT Facebook.
Facebook is hardly the only one who's been accused of vying for world domination. Google and Microsoft both have had their share of bad PR for trying to monopolize the marketplace. And even if Facebook shut down FriendFeed tomorrow, what's the big deal? It's just about million users, a mere drop in the ocean compared to Facebook and Twitter.
As a user, do you really care if there's just one uber-social network? Should you care? I am sure many of us just love the idea of having just one search engine or just one "great" operating system or how about just one "perfect" flavor of icecream?! Who needs so many choices, anyway?! Really…

About Hooked on Phonics
Hooked on Phonics came to be in 1987, when a father developed an in-home learning program using phonics to help his son overcome his reading troubles.

The company's dedicated team—which includes parents, leading educators, interactive designers, and even authors—constantly collaborates, researches, and tests advances in the field, enabling it to churn out innovative products for today's students.

The lessons are short, engaging, and interactive. At the end of each one, students are encouraged to celebrate their successes, making the act of learning an overall positive experience, unlike the act of teaching a bear physics.

"Sacrimony (Angel Of Afterlife)", the new video from American/German/Swedish symphonic metallers KAMELOT, can be seen below. The clip was filmed in Belgrade, Serbia with director Ivan Colic, who has previously worked with MOONSPELL, SOILWORK, HAMMERFALL, TYPE O NEGATIVE and SYMPHONY X, among others. The video features guest appearances by Elize Ryd (AMARANTHE) and Alissa White-Gluz (THE AGONIST). Alissa's cameo was shot by Von Wong Photography at Studio Newreel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
"Sacrimony (Angel Of Afterlife)", which is available on iTunes, comes off KAMELOT's new album, "Silverthorn", due on on October 30 in North America, October 26 in Germany and October 29 in the rest of Europe via Steamhammer/SPV. The CD will mark the band's first release with new singer Tommy Karevik, the 30-year-old Swede who previously fronted SEVENTH WONDER (a group that he is still a member of).
In a recent interview with the Kamelot France web site, KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood stated about "Sacrimony", "We have a lot of strong songs on the album, but this one was the first one that we wanted to play [during this summer's European tour]. Ironically, it was one the last song we wrote the music for. I remember sitting with [KAMELOT keyboardist] Oliver [Palotai] in Stuttgart and I had to leave the next day for Florida. I said, 'Let's make one more song, something fast and uptempo.' That was the genesis for 'Sacrimony'. Later, [new KAMELOT singer] Tommy [Karevik] laid down a killer vocal melody and it was pretty much like on the demo. Later, we invited Elize Ryd [KAMELOT touring backing vocalist] to sing on that song."
The "Silverthorn" LP and limited edition will have one version of the cover artwork, while the standard version of "Silverthorn" will have a different but equally exquisite version. The standard version is presented as an Ecolbook. The limited edition contains the Ecolbook, a bonus CD with nearly 60 minutes of music, a 44-page book and an exclusive poster. The double LP version is a gatefold on colored vinyl and includes the CD.
Tommy first appeared as one of the guest singers on KAMELOT's very successful 2011 Pandemonium World Tour.
KAMELOT recently supported Finnish/Dutch symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH on their North American tour.

This weekend marks the 24th annual Global Youth Service Day. In 100 countries, across six continents, young people between the ages of 5 and 25 will participate in their communities, leading grassroots projects in health, education, service, human rights, and the environment. In the past year, young people have played an unprecedented role in transforming their realities -- unseating repressive regimes, championing democracy, and innovating in technology, science, and business.
The United States wants to see the story of youth empowerment told for years to come. That's why, to tap the potential of this remarkable generation, we've built Embassy Youth Councils in nearly 40 countries. Each council convenes a cross-section of local young people on a regular basis to discuss shared challenges -- developing new policies and initiatives that reflect their concerns and ideas. In Nepal, for example, we've brought together more than 70 youth advisors, from tea plantation workers to college students. In Latvia, two young Council members designed an innovative e-petition system allowing people a new level of participation in their country's policy process. And around the world, U.S. Embassies have found some of their greatest allies in young people -- partnering with them on community service projects from cleaning up beaches to planting trees to building homes for families in need.
Young people also continue to lead as part of a network of U.S. alumni with whom we partner and support. In Benin, alumni of our International Visitor Leadership Program are leading a ten-day "healthy month" campaign in celebration of Global Youth Service Day from April 17-27, 2012. Their goal is to encourage young Beninese citizens in particular and the whole Beninese population in general to be environmentally conscious. In the Kyrgyz Republic, alumni of our Tech Age Girls network are reaching out in multiple ways to celebrate Global Youth Service Day. One alumna is teaching senior citizens computer skills, while another has developed a project entitled "We Draw Together," which will provide orphans between the ages of 8-13 with art lessons and an exhibition of their work. And in Russia, Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) alumni are coming together to help clean and renovate "Invatour," an NGO that advocates for people with special needs, creates opportunities for them, and promotes an active lifestyle.
Young people are mobilizing real action and producing real results for communities around the world -- every day, all year long. On this Global Youth Service Day, tell us what you are you doing in your community. Share your projects with us at firstname.lastname@example.com. To find out more about Global Youth Service Day, please visit www.gysd.org.

If you're traveling any time anon and will be sleeping on altered beds, managing accoutrements and assorted bags, action airports, taxies, buses, or cars, it's simple to become overwhelmed, cantankerous or absolute mad.

That makes these tips that abundant added valuable. Truly, the key to authoritative your next circuit plan able-bodied and accepting aback home cautiously and in acceptable appearance is plan, plan, and again do added planning.
Yield your admired pillow or something to bundle with. On my endure cruise I took my aboriginal pillow. Sticky airline baggage requirements meant my big creamy pillow had to be larboard at home, unless I capital to pay $15.00 to carriage it in its own suitcase. The baby one formed accomplished because I could being it in a big purse.
Plan your decree and over-the-counter anesthetic needs anxiously and yield what you anticipate you'll charge with you. Planning advanced will accumulate you from either accomplishing afterwards and suffering- or -having to acquisition biologic food in alien locales. Those endure minute, backward night trips can be abhorrent and sometimes dangerous.
Consider demography a sleeping affectation and ear plugs to use. You can buy them at a lot of biologic food advanced of time and they are simple to pack. They will animate your physique to abatement into a added and added restful sleep, which is not necessarily an simple assignment if you're not activity well. Select the soft, absorptive affectionate that is ranked able at befitting out top decibel noise. (Note: The best ones will cast to the appearance of your ear afterwards causing pain.)
Yield alone accustomed cases (suitcases) with auto and simple anchor handles. Using those does not absolutely save the shoulders, but they advice a lot. Recently afterwards a 10-hour trip, I acquainted absolutely tired. I looked for my car in arrogant throughout an immense parking lot. I absolved and walked, boring my wheeled cases abaft me, accessible to leave them in the artery if necessary. If they had not been so maneuverable, I would accept done it, too! (…possibly ruining a vacation and homecoming!)

how can i spruce up vegetables so my daughter will eat them?
my daughter loves fruit but i have a hard time getting her to eat vegetables. i try hiding them but she always finds them. any suggestions?
my daughter loves fruit but i have a hard time getting her to eat vegetables. i try hiding them but she always finds them. any suggestions?
Kids are more likely to eat something when they feel like they're involved in the process. Try allowing her to pick out a veggie at the grocery store and, if she's old enough, have her help you prepare it. She may also like to grow a veggie so she can be involved from start to finish. Peas are great for this task- they grow fast, taste sweet, and are fun to eat right out of the pod. Plus, the seeds are large enough for a kid to handle on their own. If they pick out the seed, plant it, watch it grow, water it, and pick it, they'll be much more likely to want to eat it.
There's a great blog that I've been in love with lately that features a mother and son who are struggling with this very issue. It's called the Great Big Veg Challenge (google it). Their solution (that they chose together- again, the child feels more involved) was to try as many veggies as possible from A-Z, trying several recipes per veggie. She has some great ideas and has made some outstanding progress with her own child.
In the end, studies show that it takes SEVERAL exposures to a new veggie for a child to accept it. Kids are born with a taste for sweets (breast milk is on the sweet side, so sweet taste buds are helpful to a developing baby), which is why she likes fruit. Kids aren't born with a taste for veggies, they have to learn to like them- and pushing them to eat them only makes them push back harder! Prepare veggies the way you like it, have them available at each meal, and let her see you enjoying them, but don't force her to try it if she doesn't want to. In time, if she can see that you enjoy it, she may want to try it too. Don't give up- keep offering them and eventually she will respond. And don't hide them, either- you'll do your daughter more good by helping her learn to enjoy veggies the way they are!
Hang in there, and good luck!

As part of a broader crackdown into bribery and corruption, Chinese police accused British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) on Monday of bribing officials and doctors by shuffling money through travel agencies.
Continue Reading Below
The drug maker said Monday that it was "deeply concerned and disappointed" by the "serious allegations of fraudulent behavior and ethical misconduct" and has put an "immediate stop" on the use of travel agencies that have been identified in China's probe.
"Such behavior would be a clear breach of GSK's systems, governance procedures, values and standards," the company said in a statement posted to its website. "GSK has zero tolerance for any behavior of this nature."
The company told FOX Business it has no new updates beyond the statement at this time but pledged to cooperate fully with Chinese authorities to "root out corruption." GlaxoSmithKline also said it is reviewing all third-party agency relationships and intends to conduct a "rigorous review" of its compliance procedures in China.
China's Ministry of Public Security is alleging that GSK executives bribed officials and doctors through cash and other benefits in an effort to illegally boost sales of certain drugs, including transferring as much as 3 billion yuan ($489 million) to more than 700 travel agencies over the last six years. Four senior Chinese executives from GSK have been detained, the head of the unit's economics crimes investigation, Gao Feng, told reporters Monday at a news conference.
The allegations mark one of the highest profile corporate probes since China widened its investigation into the practices of foreign corporations last February as part of a bribery crackdown.
A report released Sunday by China's state-run Xinhua news service said Chinese prosecutors received more than 600,000 inquiries about bribery records involving companies or individuals in the first six months of the year, marking a 76.5% year-over-year rise as the country made it easier for people to identify and report possible corruption.
GSK in a statement said it fully supports the efforts of Chinese authorities in their reforms of the medical sector and stands "ready to work with them to make the necessary changes."
This week's widened probe comes after the drug maker last week said it had so far found no evidence of bribery in China related to past sales of Botox, despite fresh allegations reported by The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper previously cited an anonymous tipster who alleged GSK staff bribed doctors from 2004 through 2010.
Shares of GSK eased into the red on Monday, trading about 35 cents lower at $52.61 in recent trade. They are up about 21% year-to-date.

watt sachste für mich?
geile Fotzen
Jaja ya sabes como bebe ser
My gf set up my catching her with one of her friends who expressed an interest in a 3some. I was due to get there after they were at it for a while. Her friend was at first worried I would get mad, but once she realized everything was cool, it got very hot very quickly. Watching them was a huge turn-on, but I also found out it was a big turn-on to be watched as I fucked one and the other watched. This became an event about 3-4 times a week for over 2 years.
Lucky man...I have had the pleasure of this scenario three times. All here must cum.
while in college, I was fucking my gf in her apt and her roomie walked in on us. My gf just said.. well, we've talked about this before, are you going to join us. She did, and from then on, for the rest of that year, it was always both of us. A lot of times I would come over and they had already started on each other. As far as I knew, there was never any jealousy as they both seemed to enjoy the 3way and obviously each other when I wasn't around.
Blonde Has A Nice Tongue Wouldn't Mind It Around My Dick
This is what I call an orgy where boys and girls all get involved with each other. I love pussy but I also love a big hard cock in my mouth, sucking it until my mouth is filled with warm cum while at the same time I am fucking a beautiful juicy cunt and pumping my spunk in there, sperm swapping is the ultimate bisexual pleasure that can be shared and enjoyed with all. Fourways two times two are my favourite sexual thrill.
i jusr turned 37. im ready to suck some dick myself. those big black ones look so deicious. i guess this means i just realized im bi
sounds like the ultimate fuck Ivan
These young girls are so hoooot! I came already on my pants just by watching.

As a bi male, i love both pussy and cock. Two sexy girls going at each other, and two sexy guys going at each other too. This vid is one of my favs and i cum every time.

Great bi video.!!!
Wow I am straight as well but now I REALLY want to try that!
Beautiful action. The blonde girl is particularly nice looking.
I had a situation like this, but it wasn't my gf,,, it was her cousin and her best female friend. My gf was at work, asked me to drop a couple of things off at her apt. I had a key, let myself in, heard some noises in the back, went back to check, and her cousin and her best female friend were really at it. They looked up at me, said join us. I thought for a minute, decided I might not get another chance like this one since both were really hot. We had a very hot 3 way. Later her cousin mentioned that she thought I might have a hot cock and wanted to know if she would share me with her... my gf said "maybe" and her cousin said "well let me at least see it".... I'm sitting there thinking is this really going to happen again.... sure enough, her cousin stroked my dick and started sucking it, my gf got hot, they got naked quickly, I soon after, and we had another 3some going. Very hot, her cousin was quite a manipulator....
Best bi vid I've seen to date. I'm str8 but this got me ROCK hard!
if u are hard, u want to suck dick
That's the way it should be. Everyone enjoying everyone.
I enjoyed very much...always great when the girls enjoy each other and forget about the camera.. this is definitely great masturbation time or in this case my girlfriend is here too.

Well I definitely did not want to write about this, but the Lord kept leading me back to it. So I'm going to say the word...
Wait, don't run away!
What if I use the word "giving"?
I hope you hear me out. This is not a post where I shake my finger at you and judge your "giving". It's simply a post where I encourage you by sharing my own story and how God has blessed my family through our giving of our time, talent and treasure...
When my hubby and I first began regularly attending a church we would throw $10-20 into the plate and feel great about it. I think I equated it to paying for entertainment. We would spend at least that much if we went to a movie right? So it was the least we could do.
Further into my walk with the Lord He showed me how tightly we were gripping our money, our possessions.
Were we finding our security in Him, or in our bank account?
I didn't like the answer.
I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to scheme, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:10-11
We just weren't there yet. We didn't understand that there is NO security in our bank accounts. We didn't understand everything we have He gave to us. That He doesn't need our money to complete His purpose. But we were missing out on a huge blessing.
We didn't even come to a place of obedience at the same time. It was difficult. In this I learned that I shouldn't fight with hubby over our tithe. There should never be strife in the home because of this issue.
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not relunctanty or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
True to His character, He doesn't compell us to give. We are called in Deuteronomy 14:22 to "set aside a tenth of all we produce". He asks that each give according to their ability and that we do it joyfully. I admit this took me some time to wrap my mind around.
I was explaining tithing to my oldest when he began earning allowance. I explained that if he has $10, God asks that he set aside $1 as an offering. You know what he said?
"That's a great deal! I get to keep $9?!"
Talk about a humbling moment.
There is an amazing peace in letting go of our money...His money. Of loosening the grip on what the world tells me will keep me safe and "comfortable".
I won't tell you we have been showered in money but we are more than provided for. Some months are harder than others but I am secure. Secure that God is my provider.
It blesses my family to give to our church and see what God will do with it. It blesses us to sponsor children oversees, give to local charities or teach Sunday school. It is our hearts that are filled by the small sacrifices of time and money.
I then heard two things that solidified my feelings. That felt like a little nod of the head from God.
1. I was listening to the radio and the pastor said, "Imagine God is an investor in your life. If He were to review how you've handled His investment, would He reward you with more resources?". I'm prayerful this will come to mind anytime we're making a decision involving our finances.
2. During a sermon on worship my Pastor stated very clearly that every part of our church service is a form of worship. Not just the singing. He explained that his teaching was worship. Teaching truth is worshipping God. Out tithes and offerings are a way we worship and praise God. Just one more way we thank Him.
I know this is a very personal issue. I'm hoping to encourage you to take a fresh look at it. Your time, talent and treasures. How might God use them to bless you and others?

In this passage, the Apostle Paul gives more encouragement to believers. He has previous explained how we all suffer in this life and groan inwardly for the coming of Christ. The text before us discusses both the Spirit's work of intercessory prayer and the Father's grand design of salvation. We can have confidence in the midst of suffering. May God add His blessings to this sermon.

Full circle: Social media helps woman finds owners of lost ring
A viral post on social media helped reunite a ring lost years ago in an Oklahoma pond with its rightful owners.
Trisha O'Quinn found the couple in her own community of Sayre, Oklahoma, after she posted photos of the ring on Facebook.
About eight to 10 years ago, she went fishing with her grandmother at a pond there, and they met a couple who were frantically looking for her wedding ring, she said.
O'Quinn said the ring flew off the woman's finger when she cast her line and fell into the pond. The four of them looked for a long time, but they could not find it. O'Quinn said she took the couple's contact information.
She said the pond dried up about six months later and she decided to go look for the ring again and found it. She tried to contact the couple, but she said the contact information they gave her didn't work.
When she recently came across the ring in her jewelry box, she decided to use social media to help find the owner.
The post has been shared more than 33,000 times since it was posted Tuesday afternoon.
O'Quinn updated the post Thursday night, saying the owners of the ring have been found.
"They were over the moon to have it back," O'Quinn wrote, "I'm so thankful it's now on the hand it belongs on!"

As mentioned before, we're going on hiatus as there isn't much good to talk about with the Oilers these days, sadly. You can still visit us at the forum (which if you aren't registered on, you'll need to e-mail me for access). I was going to completely turn off the site and redirect this blog to the forum, but I think I'll keep it up for now just because there is some info here people might want to dig up.
This site only serves to collect spam now, so I've turned off registrations and won't allow commenting unless you're signed up now. This is just to prevent all the spam coming in.
Will be back? Probably one day, but I'm not sure when. We thank you all for visiting the site though and making this fun for us while it lasted and hope to see many of you on the forum still!

A hybrid dynamical system has continuous dynamics, described by differential equations, which interact with a discrete event dynamics [4]. One of the simplest discrete dynamics appears in the delay of a dynamic system. Delays can change in discrete times by discrete dynamics. This kind of interactions can show very complicated behavior. Some of the changes of delay can be described by jumps. The jumps can have proper dynamics, or can be considered as control in the framework of control systems. Technology development, problem solving [2,3], and theorem proving have a common property: All new results became new tools for the development at the instant of their birth. That is, they become sources.

2012 Ford Focus ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new, next-generation models are smooth and quiet.
Totally redesigned, the 2012 Ford Focus looks, feels, and smells like the future. It makes its claim as the technology and fuel-mileage leader in the compact car class, a crowded and competitive field full of good cars with base prices in the $16,000-$17,000 range: Volkswagen Jetta, Chevrolet Cruze, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Impreza, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda3, Mitsubishi Lancer, Kia Forte.
But the Focus is a mixed bag of function. The new 2.0-liter engine is super smooth, but the new 6-speed automatic transmission shifts at quirky times. The fabric seats are super, the interior materials excellent and the wraparound cockpit cozy, but there isn't much rear legroom.
Focus looks like a big Fiesta, with an unmistakably Ford shape. It's lower, longer and wider. The new Focus Hatchback model is especially aerodynamic looking. The windshield is steeply raked and roofline steeply dropped to the liftgate glass, making about as much of a teardrop as a chopped hatchback can be. Ford calls the distinctive wide-mouthed grille a split trapezoid, and thank heavens it's black and not in-your-face chrome like other Ford models.
All 2012 Focus models use an all-new 2.0-liter engine with direct injection and twin variable valve timing. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, 6-speed automatic optional, with SelectShift manual mode an option to the optional transmission. The engine makes 160 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, an increase over last year's engine. It's plenty powerful, but mostly, it's extremely smooth. That's what a driver will feel: 'Man, this car is smoooth.'
We observed fuel economy in the mid-20s when we were driving the Focus. Fuel economy figures from the U.S. federal government were not available when this was written.
There's excellent legroom in front, but compared to the previous Focus, Ford has somehow lost 2.9 inches of legroom in the rear, despite stretching the length of the car by 3.5 inches. The importance of rear legroom appears to have been discounted here.
Interior noise was definitely not discounted, however. The Focus is a compact car with the NVH qualities of a full-size car. A lot of productive effort went into making the cabin silent, with sound insulation. Powertrain noise has also been reduced, by attentive engineering of the new engine, transmission, and chassis.
MyFord Touch powered by SYNC is the connectivity system that Ford is touting with its new cars. The system uses twin high-resolution screens, including an 8-inch touch screen in the center console, to communicate with your car. The driver uses three senses: see, hear, touch. Ford says the system is designed to be simple and completely intuitive for the driver, and maybe it is designed that way, but that doesn't mean it works that way. We struggled with it. And we think all this technology can distract drivers from the important task of driving.
The gauges that are in front of the driver's eyes are easy to read: big tach and speedo with cool blue needles, fuel and engine temp between them, and easy-to-read digital info above the fuel and temp. The soft materials are clearly high quality, while the hard trim looks slathered on.
There's an all-new power steering system, with a ratio quickened from 16:1 to 14.7:1, but our experience in twisty Malibu canyons did not confirm Ford's claim of precision. In fact, in our Focus SE with the standard suspension, we struggled to keep the car precise in the curves, in contrast to a recent run in a Chevrolet Cruze. The Focus ride is good, with a suspension that's on the soft side, which doesn't help precise turning. We also drove a Focus SE with the 5-speed manual transmission and sport-tuned suspension. Ah, relief.
The 2012 Ford Focus comes in sedan and Hatchback versions. All use a redesigned 2.0-liter engine with the latest technology of variable twin camshaft valve timing and direct fuel injection. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, 6-speed automatic optional, with SelectShift manual mode an option to the optional transmission.
Focus S Sedan ($16,270) is well equipped with cloth upholstery, climate control with air filtration, power door locks and front windows, full center console, 110-watt 4-speaker AM/FM/CD3/MP3 sound system, fold-flat rear seat, tilt-telescoping steering wheel, 15-inch steel wheels, halogen headlamps, and black grille, mirrors and door handles. No cruise control or USB port or Bluetooth, rear windows are rollup and rear brakes are drum.
Focus SE Sedan ($17,270) and Hatchback ($18,065) add body-color mirrors and door handles, floormats, foglamps, auto headlamps, illuminated entry, compass and temp display, steering-wheel audio controls, power rear windows, and 16-inch steel wheels. Still no cruise control, USB port or Bluetooth, and rear drums. With the Hatchback you also get a 60/40 rear seat, rear wiper and liftgate spoiler. An optional Sport package features firmer suspension tuning and SelectShift.
Focus SEL Sedan ($20,070) and Hatchback ($21,065) upgrade over SE with dual-zone climate control, a six-speaker sound system, 12-volt power for rear seat, piano black grille, chrome beltline trim, ambient lighting, overhead console, metallic interior trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, 60/40 rear seats, 16-inch painted aluminum wheels, MyFord Touch handsfree driver connect, SYNC elements with USB port, cruise control and rear disc brakes. The 6-speed automatic transmission includes SelectShift manual operation.
Focus Titanium Sedan ($22,270) and Hatchback ($22,765) come loaded with a 10-speaker Sony sound system with HD Sirius radio, pushbutton start, 8-inch touch screen, 4-inch info display screen, sport cloth seats, sport-tuned suspension, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. There's a Hatchback with Premium package ($24,060) that upgrades to leather upholstery with six-way power driver's seat, rain-sensing wipers, backup system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and rear armrest with storage. Options include leather seats, power moonroof, voice-activated navigation, parking technology, and special interior trim.
Safety equipment in all Focus models includes six airbags with the latest technology, electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Brake Assist, and tire pressure monitor.
The all-new Focus looks like a big Fiesta, with an unmistakably Ford shape. The new Hatchback is especially aerodynamic looking. The Focus spent 1000 hours in the wind tunnel to get its sleek shape and low roofline. It yields a 0.295 coefficient of drag, an improvement by nearly 8 percent over the previous Focus. Active grille shutters block airflow to the radiator when it's not required, which improves aerodynamics and fuel mileage. NASCAR racers did this with cardboard and duct tape for years, but now it's fully electronic; the shutters have 15 different positions, based on engine temperature. Other cars such as the new Chevrolet Cruze are doing it, as well.
Ford calls the distinctive grille split trapezoid. Fortunately, the grille is black and not chrome and in-your-face like other Ford models. There are eight thin horizontal bars in a huge-mouthed trapezoid whose wide side is the bottom and is divided into three segments by two body-colored vertical bars like catfish chin whiskers. It looks better than it sounds, balanced by a horizontal opening above it, with one thin chrome bar and a neat blue Ford oval. The long thin trapezoidish headlamps wrap forward and downward from the cheeks of the car. They're like sweeping dragon's eyes, says Ford in their best metaphor yet.
Sculpted lines at the sills and door handles flow back from neat modest flared front fenders to give the Focus a forward-moving slant: kinetic design energy, Ford calls it. The windshield is steeply raked and roofline steeply dropped to the liftgate glass, making about as much of a teardrop as a chopped hatchback can be. The side window outline is shaped like a picture of smoke traveling over a sleek car in a wind tunnel. Big vertical taillamps are nice and safe and Volvo-like.
The Focus SE looks cleaner, we think, lacking chrome beltline trim. The 17-inch Titanium wheels are multi-spoke wagon wheels, better looking than the optional 18-inch wheels that are like big chrome stars with thin prongs.
The all-new Focus chassis is 30 percent stiffer. It uses a crash structure designed for the larger Taurus. More than 55 percent is high-strength steels, including Boron B-pillars and front beam, and a decoupling powertrain cradle to keep the engine out of the cabin in a head-on crash.
Ford has been very ambitious the last few years, engineering-wise, and it shows. It shows in the interior of the Focus. It's as if they took everything on their to-do list, and stuffed it in the cockpit. It's as busy as they are.
But ambition is good. Because Ford went all-out with the new Focus interior, there are some great things, starting with the standard seats in sturdy fabric, and the leather-like seats in the SEL. Too bad the new Chevrolet Cruze doesn't have seats like the Focus; if its interior matched its great handling and engine, there might be a good GM-Ford battle in an important segment. Oh, it's good anyhow.
The word cockpit when used with a car is an awkward fit. But not with the Focus. That was the way it was designed, to feel like a cockpit. With all its bells and whistles, geeks will love it, drivin' down the highway feelin' like a pilot, all those switches right nearby, LED ambient lighting in a choice of seven colors to suit his or her mood, controls that feel like they wrap around to the elbows on the centerstack, displays to set and adjust with dials and buttons, readouts to read and scroll through, maps to follow, touch-screens to touch, voices to talk to, giving commands and following directions. All right there at your fingertips and the ends of your over-reaching brain tentacles. Like Facebook, Focus offers you a choice of moods!
It would take a full page to describe the MyFord Touch powered by SYNC connectivity system that Ford is touting with its new cars. It uses twin high-resolution screens, including an 8-inch touch screen in the center console, to communicate with your car. The driver uses three of the five senses: see, hear, touch.
Ford says it's designed to be simple and completely intuitive for the driver, and maybe it is, but that doesn't mean it works that way. Ford says the system can empower drivers without demanding their attention, but baloney we say, about the attention part.
After touting how simple it is, Ford press materials use 380 words merely to describe the system's capabilities; it would take us twice that many words to describe and even briefly critique it.
Here's our short version. During Ford's presentation there was an electronics company rep there, and MyFord Touch powered by SYNC didn't work without trial-and-error for him. During part of our drive of the Focus, we had a high-level Ford rep with us, and the voice command for navigation and climate control didn't understand him any better than it understood us.
We borrow this statement from another online review: 'Most buyers won't even begin to fully utilize the system, but Ford is seeing a big jump in sales due to the perceived value in such technology.'
We wonder (and worry) about the consequences of that word perceived when the perception wakes up to reality like it did with gas-guzzling SUVs.
The dashboard and instrument panel are of course all new too, and the gauges that are in front of the driver's eyes are easy to read: big tach and speedo with cool blue needles, fuel and engine temp between them, and easy-to-read digital info above the fuel and temp. The soft materials are clearly high quality, while the hard materials look slathered on: for example four big vertical vents that rival the giant grille in in-your-faceness, and thick shiny trim that lines the edges of the centerstack, console, and thick horizontal spokes of the steering wheel. However, we didn't drive the base S model, so maybe it's got a more Spartan interior missing the overkill trim. We have no problem with the optional piano black trim.
Or the WiFi when parked. Now that's real progress.
There's an optional EcoMode system that uses a flower graphic on the instrument panel that tells you how to drive more efficiently. Woohoo. We bet even people who think that's neat will lose interest, after they've seen and applied a few of the tips. Learning efficient driving methods is not a course that lasts the life of the car.
There's excellent legroom in front, but somehow the Focus has lost 2.9 inches of legroom in rear, despite stretching the length of the car by 3.5 inches. We wonder what Ford was thinking. Rear legroom is a key feature for a compact car, but Ford appears to have discounted it in the new Focus.
To be exact, rear legroom is down to 33.2 inches, when it used to be 36.1 inches, a big difference. Especially when the Volkswagen Jetta, a stylish but not flashy car, has 38.1 inches of rear legroom with the same wheelbase.
Interior noise was definitely not discounted, however. The Focus is a compact car with the NVH qualities of a full-size car. A lot of productive effort went into making the cabin silent: door structure and sealing, thicker window glass, acoustic layer in windshield, sound-deadening body panels, foam in body cavities, thicker carpet insulation, sound-absorbing headliner. Noise made by the powertrain has also been reduced, by attentive engineering of the new engine, transmission, and chassis.
The 60/40 fold-flat rear seats increase trunk volume from its so-so 13.2 cubic feet (the Jetta has 15.5) and the hatch cargo capacity to a hefty 44.8 cubic feet.
Driving Impression
The 2012 Ford Focus uses an all-new 2.0-liter engine with direct injection and twin variable valve timing. It makes 160 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, an increase over the old engine of 20 horsepower and 10 pound-feet. It's plenty powerful, but mostly, it's extremely smooth.
At the time of the introduction, Ford didn't provide specific fuel mileage estimates, other than a projected 40 mpg highway. Most of the automotive journalists at the event in California got in the mid-20s, which is what we got.
If only the new automatic transmission were programmed to be as smooth as the engine. Its shift points, whether in Drive or Select (curiously, the S stands for Select, not Sport), were mystifying, unexpected, frequent. Floor the throttle in first gear and it shifts at redline in 2nd, and then quickly short-shifts into 3rd, your foot still on the floor. Why? We don't know. Sometimes it shifts itself for engine braking going downhill, when you don't need it to, while other times it doesn't when you do. There was so much override in the Select mode, it stopped mattering which mode we were in. Which was just as well, because the driver manually shifts by pressing a button with his or her right thumb on the side of the lever, requiring a buckling of the wrist, an ergonomic movement so awkward it's astonishing.
The suspension design is the same as the old Focus, MacPherson struts in front and multi-link in rear, but uses all new parts, such as bushings, control arms, shock valving, and anti-rollbar mountings. The track is wider by 2.6 inches in front and 2.3 inches rear.
There's an all-new power steering system, electric and rack-mounted, and the ratio has been significantly quickened from 16:1 to 14.7:1. Alas, our experience in some twisty Malibu canyons did not confirm Ford's claim of precision. In fact, in our Focus SE with the standard suspension, we struggled to keep the car precise in the curves, in contrast to our recent run in the Chevrolet Cruze, which handled like a dream when pushed fast through turns. Meanwhile the Chevy's 1.4-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine zooms to high speeds.
The Focus ride is good, with a suspension that's on the soft side, which doesn't help precise turning. When we ran a modest rise in the road full throttle at about 60 mph, the car floated and the tires chirped when it came down; we might have expected that at 70 or 80, but not 60.
Torque Vectoring Control is a new standard feature. It enhances cornering by imperceptibly applying the brakes to the inside front wheel, under acceleration. We might have used it a lot, the way we drove, but we never felt it. Or maybe it only comes on when the inside front wheel begins to spin, and since we were on dry pavement we never got there.
We got more seat time in a Focus SE Sport, equipped with the solid-shifting 5-speed manual transmission and sport-tuned suspension. Ah, relief. Our transmission and suspension complaints all go away. We wish we could have tested the sport suspension further, driving hard on those same twisty roads to see if it's totally precise; but we can at least say it's better. We found some rough patchy pavement, and the sport suspension is not too stiff for comfort on such bad surfaces.
There's also Active Park Assist, which will parallel park the Focus for you, while you just sit there. It's an improvement on the Toyota Prius system, which can only park if the space is 7 feet 9 inches larger than the car; using ultrasound, the Focus needs only a margin of 3 feet. However, it will require the driver's help with the accelerator in a space that small, because jockeying forward and back is required. Maybe we're stubborn, but we believe parallel parking should be a driving skill, not a computer one.
The all-new 2012 Ford Focus looks, feels, and smells like the future, but it's a mixed bag of function. The engine is super smooth, but the automatic transmission programming feels quirky. The fabric seats are super and the wraparound cockpit is cozy, but there isn't much rear legroom. It's the technology leader in the compact car class.

- What's this?
Returns the name of the current method as a Symbol. If called outside of a method, it returns nil.
static VALUE rb_f_method_name(void) { ID fname = rb_frame_caller(); /* need *caller* ID */ if (fname) { return ID2SYM(fname); } else { return Qnil; } }
__callee__ and __method__ both return symbol when originally defined, not current
There has been some indication that __callee__ is intended to return the symbol with which the method was actually invoked, whereas __method__ returns name with which the method was originally defined, but __callee__ actually behaves identically to __method__ in Ruby 1.9.1 1.9.2, and 1.9.3.
This distinction is meaningful, because methods can be aliased after they are created.
In Ruby 1.8.7, it was possible (though) not convenient to get the name of the method as actually invoked, by calling another method that extracts the name from caller.first. Even that hack no longer works in Ruby 1.9 though, since it will return the originally defined method name as well.
