Woodcutters by Thomas Bernhard ( Book )
13 editions published between 1987 and 2013 in English and German and held by 673 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Fiercely observed, often hilarious, and "reminiscent of Ibsen and Strindberg" (The New York Times Book Review), this exquisitely controversial novel was initially banned in its author's homeland. A searing portrayal of Vienna's bourgeoisie, it begins with the arrival of an unnamed writer at an 'artistic dinner' hosted by a composer and his society wife'a couple he once admired and has come to loathe. The guest of honor, a distinguished actor from the Burgtheater, is late. As the other guests wait impatiently, they are seen through the critical eye of the writer, who narrates a silent but frenzied tirade against these former friends, most of whom have been brought together by Joana, a woman they buried earlier that day. Reflections on Joana's life and suicide are mixed with these denunciations until the famous actor arrives, bringing an explosive end to the evening that even the writer could not have seen coming

Extinction : a novel by Thomas Bernhard ( Book )
19 editions published between 1995 and 2013 in English and held by 598 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In Italy, an Austrian teacher devotes his energy to criticizing his family's noble heritage--its snobbery, hypocrisy, Catholicism, Nazism--but when on his parents' death he returns to take over the country estate, he does not practice what he preached. By the author of The Loser
Concrete by Thomas Bernhard ( Book )
16 editions published between 1984 and 2013 in English and German and held by 591 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Instead of the book he's meant to write, Rudolph, a Viennese musicologist, produces this dark and grotesquely funny account of small woes writ large, of profound horrors detailed and rehearsed to the point of distraction. We learn of Rudolph's sister, whose help he invites, then reviles as malevolent meddling; his 'really marvelous' house, which he hates; the suspicious illness he carefully nurses; his ten-year-long attempt to write the perfect opening sentence; and, finally, his escape to the island of Majorca, which turns out to be the site of someone else's very real horror story. A brilliant and haunting tale of procrastination, failure, and despair, Concrete is a perfect example of why Thomas Bernhard is remembered as "one of the masters of contemporary European fiction" (George Steiner)
Frost by Thomas Bernhard ( Book )
8 editions published between 2006 and 2013 in English and held by 587 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Frost follows an unnamed young Austrian who accepts an unusual assignment. Rather than continue with his medical studies, he travels to a bleak mining town in the back of beyond, in order to clinically observe the aged painter, Strauch, who happens to be the brother of this young man's surgical mentor. The catch is this: Strauch must not know the young man's true occupation or the reason for his arrival. Posing as a promising law student with a love of Henry James, the young man befriends the mad artist and is caught up among an equally extraordinary cast of local characters, from his resentful landlady to the town's mining engineers

Early one morning a doctor sets out with his son on his daily rounds through the forbidding moutainouse countryside.

52 editions published between 1986 and 2012 in German and held by 519 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Auslöschung" ist der Titel einer Niederschrift, die Franz-Josef Murau in seinem letzten Lebensjahr in Rom verfaßt hat und die Thomas Bernhard zugänglich macht. Diese Aufzeichnungen waren für Murau unumgänglich geworden, da in ihnen ein Thema im Zentrum steht, das seine ganze Existenz zerstört hat, nämlich seine Herkunft. Dieser "Herkunftskomplex" läßt sich mit dem Namen eines Ortes bezeichnen: Wolfsegg. Hier ist Murau aufgewachsen, hat er den Entschluß gefaßt, daß er, will er sich, seine geistige Existenz retten, Wolfsegg verlassen muß. Obwohl er deshalb beabsichtigt, Wolfsegg zu meiden, muß er dennoch dorthin reisen: seine Eltern und sein Bruder sind bei einem Autounfall ums Eeben gekommen. Dieser erneute Wolfsegg-Aufenthalt macht Murau deutlich, daß er sich von Wolfsegg endgültig lösen muß. Er faßt den Entschluß, über Wolfsegg zu schreiben, und zwar mit dem Ziel, das in diesem Bericht "Beschriebene auszulöschen, alles auszulöschen, das ich unter Wolfsegg verstehe, und alles, das Wolfsegg ist"

As the story begins, he's just blown the head off his wife with the Mannlicher carbine she kept strapped to her wheelchair.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Human Services, Courts and Law Enforcement people from seven counties in South Central Michigan and Northeast Indiana gathered Wednesday in Coldwater for an all day seminar titled "Understanding a Domestic Violence Batterer".
David Garvin, a nationally renowned expert on the issue, conducted the forum. He started the day proclaiming there is absolutely no place for domestic violence in any community and he wasn't in the mood to hear any excuses for such behavior. He pointed to the example of a bumper sticker some may have seen that reads, "There is no excuse for domestic violence".
Garvin said he begged to differ with that phrase because he believes there's way too many excuses for domestic violence. He reminded everyone there's no acceptable excuse for it, but there's tons of excuses. In his words, batterers will come up with excuses like there's no tomorrow.
Garvin believes preventing domestic violence has to start right where we live with your insistence that we make those who dish out domestic violence accountable for their actions as well as your insistence that this is something that the town you call home will not tolerate. There were about 200 in the audience for the event sponsored by the Branch County Coalition against Domestic Violence

March 29
We worked from 9:00 a.m. to 11:15 p.m. today, and it's hard to say what we really did. Fiddling, mostly. More plumbing, brake lines, heat shielding, messing with the shifter cable, tightening things up, and planning. Finnegan took the intake to the new coating shop.
March 30
Fourteen hours burned today, from around noon until 2:00 a.m. A major accomplishment was final-welding the exhaust, which took a little bashing to clear our custom driveshaft loop we'd forgotten to install earlier. Grant and Finnegan spent hours bleeding the brakes and something is still very funky about the pedal feel.
Over the past few days we've walked in circles holding the Aeromotive fuel-pressure regulator, trying to decide where to mount it. We finalized it today, and we're pretty happy with it on the right front inner fender. The regulator is Aeromotive's stackable unit with three segments: a primary regulator to set system pressure (say, 10 psi), a second for pressure to the carb (probably 6 to 7 psi), and a third to feed the nitrous unit (5 to 15 psi, depending on how you like to tune).
The intake and water pump came back from Embee Performance Coatings. They did an awesome job in gloss aluminum.
March 31
We pounded on the Bee for 19 hours straight, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., then ran to catch a flight to North Carolina for the ECTA event at Maxton. At 5:00 a.m. we realized we'd been locked into the shop. That was ugly. Kinnan was out sick today, and he's been doing all the magazine work while we were wrenching, so we had to actually edit stuff. We also photographed the welding story in this issue, and the Bee got registered for the first time since 1997.
We permanently installed the intake manifold twice because the rear seal slipped the first time; the end gaps were too big to fill with RTV. That killed $40 worth of gaskets and an excruciating five hours. Finalizing the intake and water pump opened floodgates of progress as we ripped on the accessory drive and hung our Powermaster alternator, a 94-amp unit in a stock Chrysler squirrel-cage case; we also replaced our Mopar constant-output voltage regulator with a streetable stocker. It took just three tries to get the correct fan belt. The measure-a-string method never works.
We're passionately in love with our Mark 7 radiator, a black-anodized aluminum unit that looks like a Mopar stocker and that bolted in place flawlessly and has nutserts for the stock fan shroud. However, it was too thick for our Mopar clutch fan.
Milodon offers very nice billet oil pumps (PN 21814) and covers (we used 21215) for big Mopars, and we waited until now to try ours on the block. We needed to plug a port on the Milodon cover, and Dave Bottomley at Sweet Performance Products cut down the head of a -12 AN plug for us because there is very little clearance to the Schumacher engine mount, which also needed grinding.
We'd planned to install a Gear Vendors Under/Overdrive, but today we faced the reality that we could not get it done in time.

In the 1940's the world flocked to Havana. From Hemingway to Hollywood, they came for the nightlife but left with the secrets of small apothecaries or "botacarias" - that dotted the side streets of the city. Blended with natural ingredients like coffee bean and tobacco flower, and pure essences and extracts of orange, sugar cane, and sweet pineapple - the chemists crafted their own formulations to promote beautiful, soft and healthy looking skin. Today we know those ingredients contain alpha hydroxyl acids, antioxidants and other agents that actively moisturize and reduce the redness associated with dry, rough skin.

The thermosphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere (middle layer) and directly below the exosphere (top layer). Within this layer, ultraviolet radiation causes ionization. That is why it is also called the Ionosphere. Shortwave radio wave can bounce off the Kennelly-Heaviside layer (ionosphere) and go to distant parts of the Earth.

Contradictions in Spite (U.S. Election Cycle)
Wow. We're a long way out on this one. Over a year to go until the actual election, and many Americans are already sick of the process.
Prognosticators, daredevils, and village idiots are hereby invited to take part in SpiteFest '08: How bad will it be? How bad has it gotten? What will be your favorite moment from the upcoming season? What's your favorite so far? Who will have the worst hair? Who will fall off the dais? Who will sling the lowest insult at Hillary Clinton? Barack Obama? What will they say? How do you feel? What do you think? What the hell is at stake for you, and why the hell do you matter?
First up, from our local discussion of the Armenian Genocide:
Personally, I'm expecting a Republican victory. (S.A.M., #1574636/26)
I swear I'll eat my underwear if Republicans win. (Michael, #1574752/27)
i think we right wingers should get used to the idea of President Hillary and her beautiful 1st lady, William. (Otheadp, #1575074/30)
Americans will not vote a woman into power. (S.A.M., #1575522/34)
Look at that fear and loathing. S.A.M.'s in a dubious position; she can be right and wrong. If the Dems bug out and back the white Southern male, the GOP's job will be even tougher. Nonetheless, her lack of faith in the American people is reasonably justified. Its best to focus on the things we can do correctly, like selling forty-four ounces of Pepsi for under a dollar. Oh, wait, we don't even do that anymore, do we? Oh, wait ... yes, we do. At Wal-Mart!
No fear from our neighbor Otheadp, only loathing. It wouldn't be fair to leave him out.
But Michael ... oh, Michael. If January 20, 2009, sees a Mitt or Fred or Rudy, or some other GOP nut being sworn in, please know that one of the few things that will cheer me up would be to see the YouTube video of you eating your shorts. In fact, you've inspired me to find some stake we can offer the people for a Democratic victory, because a parade of angry folks eating their shorts is exactly the kind of thing most Americans would for. You're onto something, but the polarity is off.
So pile 'em up here, folks ... predictions, premonitions, and prognostications; dares and promises and tantrums alike.
Could we book a thousand lesbians for an "Eating Out With the Girls" video to be filmed along Fifth Ave in Seattle if the Dems win? Call it a charity event? Volunteers only?
Would it be a hate crime if, instead of eggs, we sprayed Coca Cola on Mitt Romney's limousine? Ooh, what if the thousand lesbians all wore g-strings, and then threw them at a Republican president's inaugural motorcade?
I know! Family Values! If the GOP wins, we ought to combine the two: get a thousand Log Cabin lesbians to throw babies at the motorcade!
I've got it! Okay, okay ... if a Democrat wins, one thousand gay men won't have an orgy in your front yard!
There we go ... the winning strategy: "Vote Democrat, or watch out for the santorum."
Well, then, give the Log Cabin a call for us.
Are there Log Cabin lesbians? I mean, we never hear about them, but I would assume the Log Cabin isn't sex or gender segregated.
Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot you're not a Republican. Like Bomani Armah isn't a rapper.

From: "Laura wears hijab ...."
So, yeah. Obviously I'm not combing the topics for the early predictions, but this exchange caught my eye:
Either way, you'll get a president with practically the same views: Giuliani or Clinton. Both from the same neck of the woods, philosophically and geo-politically. (Superstring99, #1595772/6)
I don't think so. I don't think either of them will be the next POTUS. (Sandy, #1595820/7)
And side bets ... odds, anyone?
Christian Conservative Republicans. We decide who the president will be. (Sandy, #1595520/5)
Bush is the most unpopular sitting president since polls started being kept. He's guaranteed that the CCR's will be not be heard come primary day, and since a majority of the people in this country aren't CCR's, thankfully, the next president will be someone a bit more rational. (Superstring99, #1595772/6)
Anyway, carry on. Nothing to see here. For, like, another year or so.
You know Tiassa, just because I have little respect for the Democratic party, doesn't make me a Republican. The reason you don't hear me jumping on your bandwagon of anti-Republicanism is twofold: one, it ignores the equally pernicious effects that the Democrats have had on our society and two, it's too in vogue right now to hate the Republicans (what more can a person say, the Republican suck, there's no need to keep singing that old tune when we have 85% of the people here all chanting that in chorus-- I prefer to be a voice of descent on the issues that I think matter and are being ignored by the left). The Reps have utterly mismanaged the entire governmental infrastructure for the better part of a decade now and, I'd say, that we're worse off now for it.
Though I doubt we'd be in a better place had we elected all Dems, it doesn't mean that we should give any of them an inch of slack.
If you ask me who I'm going to vote for president-- probably nobody, I was favoring Giuliani, but let's face it, isn't he just Hillary with a penis? Both from NY, both are party cogs.
Hmmm. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Follow the same defrosting rules you use for meat. The safe ways: in a resealable bag or container in the fridge; in a sealed bag and submerged in cold water (changing the water every 30 minutes); or microwave. Do not thaw on the counter; the warmer temperatures of your kitchen can cause bacteria to multiply.

Ya i can say it does. For about 18 months i did contract work in Kuwait and played with an average latency of 2000 (yes that was 3 zeros). Sometimes up to 4000 and higher. I got pretty good at latency playing. Of course this meant no group runs or PVP but i could grind away usually to my heart's content. often I would hit a lag spike of 30 sec to a min (if i was lucky) as soon as I attacked something. Send in my pet and cast arcane shot and lag out. When I caught up to the server finally usually my mob was dead. Of course, about a 3rd of the time I was dead from some other mob that was now no where to be seen. Such is life.

What Does BlackBerry Tell Us About the Future of Tech?
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) is still struggling, and the company's most recent earnings release confirms it. Despite the release of the highly anticipated touchscreen model of its flagship line, the company managed to ship just 6.8 million phones for the quarter.
The only real upside to the release is that it seems the launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform has managed to turn around the revenue decline in three of the company's four business regions. Still, it isn't much of an upside. The company reported the aforementioned 6.8 million phones for the quarter with a $0.13 per share loss on $3.07 billion in revenue. This fell well short of Wall Street's expectations of 7.5 million phones and an average estimated profit of $0.08 per share on $3.37 billion in revenue.
It seems BlackBerry has fallen even further behind its competitors, despite bringing the smartphone category to the forefront of mobile communication. What can the decline of BlackBerry tell us about the future of big tech?
First let's examine BlackBerry's decline, which most will tell you can be traced back to the meteoric rise of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone and Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android operating system. Looking at market share data provided by IDC, it seems clear that if they didn't cause BlackBerry's demise, they certainly capitalized on it. Together they represent 92.3% of all smartphone operating system shipments in the first quarter of 2013.
What happened?
Innovation, or in BlackBerry's case, lack thereof. The company, then known as Research in Motion, was content with its design trajectory and kept true to its course. And the result? Apple, Google, and the rest are eating BlackBerry's lunch.
The competition is rapidly innovating, initiating new projects at a breakneck pace, while pruning ones that fall short of expectations. Could these firms have learned from the mistakes of BlackBerry and others that met a similar demise?
What does this tell us about the future of tech?
It suggests that the future belongs to the innovators and not necessarily the current market leaders, which gives the companies two real choices: innovate or buy innovation. For instance, while Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) is widely regarded as the top social network, the company is floundering for direction and still hasn't closed the gap between its current stock price and its IPO price.
Facebook did perform admirably over the first quarter of 2013, posting a 7% gain in net income over the previous year's quarter, but investors are still waiting for direction. The company has initiated several new services, the bulk of which seem to be knee-jerk reactions to the services developed by competitors. Poke, the firm's SnapChat clone, has had little traction. Facebook Places, a Foursquare competitor, has been a flop thus far. And Facebook's Instagram competitor was basically dead on release. It seems as though Facebook is on the defensive, opting to continually play catch-up with the competition rather than looking to lead. Is it coincidence that the company's stock has languished below the IPO price?
On the other hand, Google and Apple have proven their willingness to create new categories and to significantly improve existing ones. Apple seems content on focusing on the next step of innovation, having been rumored to be working on an Apple TV as well as a smart watch. Apple has recently been filing for the iWatch trademark in numerous countries, including Japan, Russia, and Mexico. The company also recently released its own music streaming service, iRadio. Google has adopted an even more radical approach, working simultaneously on near term innovations and long-term ones, like self-driving cars and other far-reaching plans.
The second option, buying innovation, is equally viable, as evidenced by Google's success with YouTube, Facebook's with Instagram, and a myriad of other smaller acquisitions. Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) and its CEO Marissa Mayer have been on a buying spree, looking for innovative companies with talented designers. The highest profile acquisition by Yahoo is Tumblr, which the company acquired for $1.1 billion in May. One way or the other, it is clear that innovation is the lifeblood of a strong tech company.
Both approaches have a downside; they consume lots of capital. Not every project will be a success. Nor will every acquisition, so cuts will have to be made. Yahoo! has recognized this, just recently pruning itsflock of services and cutting those that are no longer viable. Google is also no stranger to this, routinely culling its services, the most recent to fall victim being the much-loved Google Reader.
Another viable option, though fraught with its own issues, is buying innovative companies and using them as the catalyst to maintain a dominant position. Facebook is no stranger to this, as demonstrated by its purchase of Instagram to maintain dominance of the social space. Yahoo! CEO Melissa Mayer has been on a buying spree, snapping up startups and looking to increase the company's talent pool.
Recently, Google has been rumored to being playing catchup with Apple, but even this is much more proactive than Facebook's approach. In the end, I think the companies that are willing to embrace change or even bring it about will be the winners in the long run. To turn to a sports analogy, the best defense is a strong offense. Regardless of the recent decline in Apple's stock, if history is any indicator, Apple and Google should outperform both Facebook and BlackBerry.

Filed under: Car Buying, Subaru
The year is finally drawing to a close, and most automakers will look back at 2008's dismal sales figures with disdain. Crumbling market share for domestic U.S. brands led to the year's biggest story -- that of a Federally-funded automotive bailout. Import brands didn't fare much better, with Toyota, Nissan and Honda all posting distinctly lackluster sales figures towards the end of the year.
At least one automaker is set to buck the overall negative trend, as Subaru executive vice president Tom Doll says that its U.S. arm will post a modest sales increase for 2008, and incentives weren't a big part of Subaru's success. New products like the Impreza and Forester led the way, and an increased marketing push helped the aging Legacy improve on its 2007 numbers. Regardless of its minor victories for '08, the Japanese automaker isn't expecting any miracles in 2009 with its New Year's resolution of simply maintaining current levels. Good luck.

According to Harrisburg Police a woman was using the ATM at the Corner Store in Harrisburg when a young man approached her from behind, tore her purse from her arm, and fled. Police say the victim lost about $300 and the contents of her wallet.
The victim told police that she had seen the young man at the store before, but did not know his name.
Police were able to establish 20 year-old Donald Purnell as a suspect. The victim was able to confirm Purnell was her attacker using a photo array.
Police say Purnell was found hiding under a bed during a search of his residence and was taken into custody without incident. Purnell returned the stolen money and showed the officers where he discarded the woman's wallet, according to police. They say he also had two small bags of marijuana with him.
Purnell has been charged with robbery, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Police say he was also served a warrant for failure to pay taxes.

There are few anime as sublime as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. As though the series wasn't already fascinating enough, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya offered me one of the most enriching experiences I've felt in an anime yet.
Thinking back, sometimes I feel quite silly about how excited I get about certain anime. Every now and again there's some attribute I look for, find and resonate with before I can even completely fathom it. That feeling doesn't always last, but it leaves me a moment of bliss I can't yet shake. It's fun, but temporary in intensity.
Haruhi Suzumiya, however, did something only the best of the best can achieve. I'm dumbfounded considered the mastery behind some of these works, and there I was contemplating whether or not I should waste my time. I can be pretty foolish sometimes.
I don't know if I can completely express these feelings on camera, but rest assure there will be mention of it at one point or another — I'll proudly wear my heart on my sleeve as per usual. There are certain things worth writing about and this is one of them, even if only to express the sheer whimsy I feel from it. Felt that way? Relish it like your life depended on it, and let the world know of its wonders.

This week at the New Orleans Jewish Day School, in response to some parental concerns about the difficulty of "teaching" prayer to very young children, we changed our venue and our structure at morning tefillah (prayer).
We went outdoors to take in the miracles of nature. We sat in silence to concentrate on our own breathing and found that it was almost impossible to completely prevent the invasion of outside noise. We learned again the complexities of keva (the fixed) and kavanna (the spontaneous) elements of prayer.
We sat in the grass in the shape of a heart as each child offered a personal prayer of thanks, petition, or praise. Had you looked down at us from a high window on Tuesday morning, you would have seen right into the heart-shaped space encased by our children in prayer on the lawn. After listening to all of the prayers, each of us selected one prayer from the "heart" offered by someone else to bring home with us and keep for the rest of the day—the prayer that resounded for each child.
I hugged a child who had offered, "I pray to be more responsible from now on," and told all of the students, "I am taking his prayer with me. I often pray to be better at remembering everything I have to do. Thank you for sharing your prayer, and for the chance to make it mine, too."
That's what prayer should do, I thought, it should elevate you, make you feel better, and link you with others with whom you share your physical and spiritual lives.
The fears that "prayer" or "understanding our partnerships with God and humanity" might be too complex, are not new. These have been Jewish concerns for centuries. For children, prayer can be the most natural thing in the world. The structure and the routine of prayer as it is learned impose routine and order toward the goal of creating a space in which human emotions can be safely expressed.
Parashiot (Torah portions) Nitzavim-Vayelech resound with a message of community and the critical roles that responsibility to one another and to God play in our Jewish lives. Communication with our Creator requires no oaths of silence, no self-imposed seclusion, but rather, encourages the sharing and extension of our collective consciousness.
In the grammar of the confessional prayers we offer on Yom Kippur, we see the singular and the plural equally represented. Through the recitation of Kol Nidre, a 15th century supplication expressing the pained apology of Spanish Jews forced to utter vows of conversion, we continue to empathize even today with what it means to betray our ancestral covenant.
The text of parashiot Nitzavim-Vayelech explicity tells us, "The word is not too far from you – it is in your hearts and in your minds." Our NOJDS experiences this week helped us understand this a little more deeply, and I pray, relieved some parents of their worry that prayer might be too demanding.
Wishing you a tzom kal (an easy fast), and gamar chatima tova - may you be inscribed for a year of goodness.

Shoe PlayNot only do I love to watch other girls play with their shoes, I love to do it as well. I started doing that in school and soon I realized some of the boys were really watching what I did especially if I was barefoot or wearing stockings or pantyhose instead of socks. They seemed not to care too much if they could not see my feet. So I continued doing it ever since then. If I am in a doctor's office or somewhere like that, I will do it the whole time I am waiting. And you would not believe the reaction I get. I do it in line at a grocery store. When I get in my car to go home, I always take my shoes off. If I need to stop to get gas, I get out barefoot or in my stockings. Again, that garners a huge amount of attention. I did it just last week and the guy beside me just about broke his neck trying to watch me as I moved around! I tear up a lot of stockings/pantyhose doing that but it is worth every penny.
Why do some girls do this. Yes it can be very sexy but not not keep shoes on. Tennis shoes laced up and the back straps on your heels. Why put the toe the one shoe on the other and press until the foot comes out. And when wearing sandals with backstraps. Why push the straps off your heels. I don't have the nerve to ask in person and always wondered about this.
Hi, thank you for telling us about your shoeplay. Have you completed any of the misterpoll.com shoeplay polls. I think you would enjoy them.
i have a case on searching why some girls naturally doing shoeplay,not every one them like you knew about the attraction they make with playing with their shoes,do you mind if i ask you why exactly do you shoeplay? is this for make guys hot? or what?
that was explain everything,you are absolutely right almost every man has crash on that.
I'll bet he did. I've always had a thing for shoe dangling. Not sure why, as I don't have a foot fetish, but if a woman plays with her shoes and she happens to be wearing hosiery, it will capture my attention.
How old r u now n do u still shoeplay n do u njoy it
I am with you on this
I love women like you. I've loved watching girls slip off their shoes and play with them ever since second grade. My favorite place to watch women shoeplay is at the library? Ever find yourself there?
Shoe play and dangling.. Love it. Gets me going everytime. ;-)
I started playing with feet at age 11 with my aunt...... I have been hooked every since..... omg you are the perfect woman.
i HAVE WORSHIPED FEET SINCE THE AGE OF 11.... i LOVE IT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY
I guess i was just obsessed with ***** mmmmmmmmmmmmstill am
wow love the hose and stockings and didn't realize there is so much interest in shoe play...........guess i loved it too and just never thought about it ..........always thinking about what was up above mmmmmmmmm
A girl in heels is the perfect sight for me, if she plays with them.....MMMMMM
I think if it falls off it is even more sexy. A girl is generally more selfassured when she wears heels. When she plays with them and one falls off, it is like if the "invincible" part of the girl is ruined, she isn't perfect anymore at that moment and has to scramble to put it back on again (which is also a lovely arousing sight to see a girl putting on a pump without touching it with her hands)
It makes her more "accessible" because the godess changes into a regular, be it sexy, girl.
So yes...drop your heels when you are teasing men. If you pick them up, look discretely towards their crotches, you might see some movement in there !
Would certainly be the cas if I was to watch.
by the way: The noise of the dropping shoe touching the floor is also a sexy noise
Wow, I can't believe how open and cool you are with playing with your shoes and inticing other guys. Ide love to be in a situation where you were there, i think there's nothing sexier than a girl who plays with her shoes, women are very sexy aswell, especially in nylon and heels. Im in university at the moment, there are alot of girls who do this but i go to places to watch shoeplay my self.

Thanks for your time
I think it's amazing. There's not much else better than a woman slipping the heel of her shoe off her foot and letting it dangle.
i love the way you think!
So cool, I love to see women playing with shoes and walking outside in nylons. Yummy.
StarBaby69,

I am a man who loves watching ladies feet in action. I love to see you play.

Bare Hugs

Woman charged with perjury in domestic assault caseStaff Report | December 11,2012BENNINGTON — A Harwood Hill woman is facing a felony charge of perjury after an investigator with the Bennington County State's Attorney Office said she lied during a deposition about a man she had accused of domestic assault.
Heidi E. Gardner, 41, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on a felony count of perjury and a misdemeanor count of giving false information to police in order to implicate another person. Gardner pleaded innocent to the charges.
In an affidavit, Investigator Justin Niles said he was following up on the arrest of Floyd Amidon, 54, for domestic assault when he was notified on Oct. 31 that Gardner may have committed perjury during a deposition. In the deposition, taken on Oct. 29, Gardner said she had ended a relationship with Amidon on Aug. 17 and said that he had not been violent with her that day. She also denied telling a police dispatcher that Amidon choked her and prevented her from getting to the phone.
Niles said the recorded call to the Bennington police dispatcher indicated Gardner had reported an assault on Aug. 17 and told Niles a similar story on Aug. 30.
The affidavit said Amidon and Gardner discussed getting married and buying a home together during phone calls, which were recorded, made by Amidon from prison to Gardner between Oct. 10 and 27.
Gardner was released without bail on Monday but was ordered not to have contact with Amidon.MORE IN This Just InMan denies golf Full StoryPolice: Road rage leads to gunfire Full StoryCastleton heroin Full Story

Kids love to play games. These days they are all about their gaming systems and a lot of the games are violent or not the most appropriate for them, so I try not to let my kids play them. Luckily, I've found some online games that are a great alternative. There are a lot of fun puzzle games on sites like Iplay.com that are not only enjoyable for children, but are educational and great for the brain.
The skills that children can learn from different types of games will help the development of cognitive skills, including the added benefit of getting a head start on advanced games such as chess and go. Check out some of my kids favorite games and their benefits below.
Tower Builder
A logic game, Tower Builder, allows kids to rescue a lost pebble that has fallen from the top of a mountain. Several levels here take place in a valley where intricate structures of rods and stone must be put together in a fashion that helps the pebble escape his situation. Concrete skills will be developed with regard to weight transfer, friction, and the nature of stacking parts on top of each other. Kids will also learn to measure distance and learn how to deal with a center of balance.
Jewel Match
Jewel Match, a match-3 game, takes place in 100 levels, from fountains to block grids. Here, the point of the game is to correctly match up three or more jewels in succession. Skills developed in this game include pattern recognition and the ability to turn chaos into an ordered state. Children will need to see jewels from across the board to develop a strategy for connecting them.
Catan Carbonated
Lastly, the board game Catan Carbonated is a direct descendant of the adult board game, Settlers of Catan. Players need to build roads and settlements, while gathering and trading supplies, in order to gain territory. The concepts of trade, cooperation and competition with other players, and resource management are all necessary to be effective.
It is amazing to see the complex lessons that you can learn by playing puzzle games. Skills necessary for doing well in each game, as well as skills necessary for doing well in life, are packed into each tile, gem, grid, and character.

"…Like he took my bed?" The Wildman was responding to Cob, who had a thick, dirty
rope coiled across his shoulder.
"I was just trying it out?" Gob defended himself.
"Trying it out my shit! - You've been trying out my last three beds! - Staining them with
smells of black mud and dry shit!" He shouted at him without looking back; the others laughing
lightly as they walked out the thick vegetation onto a highly raised ridgeline - high above the
green covering all around.
"It's not like I mean to?"
"Yeah? Explain to me Gob? You want to honestly say that you just, find yo urself,
sleeping on my hides! My beds!"
"Gob!" He threatened without looking back at him.
"What? I'm just talking?" He defended himself.
"What if you teach him to make hides?" Cob intervened.
"What are you, insane! Want me to teach this Gob?" The Wildman questioned.
"Yeah, I mean, instead of cutting his head off?" Cob suggested.
"You're all crazy!" The Wildman concluded as they descended the ridge towards the
other side - which was covered with short, well-spaced trees.
Inside the trees, the other trolls were still hunting. And Gob, who was carrying his kill,
was walking into a small clearing where the Wildman was waiting. In front of a rock inside the
clearing stopped and stood - staring at the Wildman.
"Don't just stand there and look at me?" The Wildman observed.
"What do I do?" Gob asked without a care of the Wildman's tone.

|Morgan Freeman
Dd was there this afternoon - quick in and out for us but heard it got very busy later. Was told it shoots tomorrow so if you hear anything please post. Gl! So busy so odds aren't good
|Johnny Depp
DD was there as well but I assume since it shoots tomorrow that they already let the kids know who were cast. But GL in any event!!
|Sean Penn
We did not go because we are SAG eligible and don't want to join just yet. However friends daughter was there so I will post if she hears anything! GLTA!!
|Morgan Freeman
We were there till about 7:00. They still had about 25 kids to go! Heard there were about 100 kids called for this casting.
|Russell Crowe
Nothing here. We were there towards the beginning. Had no idea that it was going so late.
|Morgan Freeman
We didn't either!!! We had to wait over an hour before my DD was called in. And, the original sides that was sent over the weekend was scrapped. There was a whole new one, because the kids earlier were having lots of trouble pronouncing the words! Crazy audition!
|Morgan Freeman
Totally crazy. Glad we got there early. And yes sides were scrapped. Wonder if it's really shooting tomorrow. Well, GLTA
|Glenn Close
they used the first sides originally? that stinks. we were fine with those. Anyway - we know we're out since we only said the 2nd sides once since we didn't get the sheet and everyone else did them twice or more. What a nightmare. One boy did them 5 times.
Maybe they'll call the kids in the morning. GL to those who did well. lol
|Russell Crowe
We were there fairly early and they were using the new sides. I don't think they would call kids in the morning- some kids came from pretty far away, how wound they manage to get in? Maybe it has been postponed a few days. GLTA!
|Johnny Depp
My DD actually did both sides, first the ones which we were sent over the weekend and then the new ones but given they saw so many kids (there were not that many there when she was there), the odds seem pretty low!!
|Russell Crowe
If anyone hears anything,please post. IF I speak to my child's agent later I will definitely ask about it.
|Morgan Freeman
Thanks, NYCKid - one of those auditions that has left all of us scratching our heads!
|Russell Crowe
Not us, but it has been booked.
|Kevin Bacon
I saw a booking on FB.
|Morgan Freeman
Thanks, NYCKid. Hoping someone from here booked!

Are conditional cooperators willing to forgo efficiency gains? Evidence from a public goods experiment
AbstractWe use a two-person public goods experiment to investigate how much agents value conditional cooperation when symmetric positive contributions entail efficiency losses. Asymmetric marginal per capita returns allow only the high-productivity player to increase group payoffs when contributing positive amounts. Asymmetric contributions, however, yield unequal individual payoffs. To assess a priori cooperative preferences, we measure individual 'value-orientations' by means of the decomposed game technique. We find that contributions remain negligible throughout the experiment, suggesting that people are not willing to contribute positive amounts if this may lead to damage efficiency.

New Blog is Up
Too jetlagged and sleepy to cut and paste the blog or even to summarise it. I blogged. There's stuff in it. Garrrgh.
A small blog that clarifies what edition of the new hardbacks of Stardust gets what, and also has the Amanda video I put up here this morning.
I am experimenting with the new share facility on my Journal, and seeing if it'll post the link here…
You'll need to click on the link to see the Charles Vess new Stardust art in glorious full painted colour…
Also a small wander into vegan ethics as regards bees.

"I thought I could take off my clothes in front of the Degas nudes, and then Neil could draw me," she said to the Museum people, as they began our tour.
They conferred, decided this would be just fine as long as the security cameras were turned off. Then they discovered that they couldn't turn off the security cameras, so they had a man in a forklift come in and hang coffee cups over the security camera lenses in that room. And I sketched nude Amanda in chalks for ten minutes. Then I got in a cab and went over to WBUR Boston to record a bit I'm doing for THIS AMERICAN LIFE about Adventures and How I Don't Have them.—

I eat, I photograph, I write, then I repeat! I'm based in DC but love trying new foods everywhere. I'm particularly a big fan of bakeries, so expect to see lots of baked goods here. :P
Excellent, moist and super flavorful! #fseatup
Delicious! Love the spiciness. #fseatup
Delicious classic sundae made even better: frozen custard, buttered pecans, chocolate and caramel sauces. Yum!
Peaches, plums, pecan mousse, sour cream ice cream, graham cracker, crumble. Great balance of fruity and nutty sweetness.
Mmmmm. Love the classic BBQ taste!
Fresh, local vegetables, simple preparation. Loved the basil in this.
Rice two ways, sausage, shrimp and chunks of crab with beurre blanc. Loved the touch of sweetness from corn.
I could eat this cheese spread all day.
Probably my favorite rendition of deviled eggs, nice touch of salt and paprika.
Mmm so buttery and flaky...

Jean O'Leary - Leader and Champion
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
Statement by Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force family mourns the death of Jean O'Leary, our former executive director and life-long champion in the fight for equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Jean served as co-executive director with Bruce Voeller from 1976 to 1979. During her tenure, she organized the first-ever White House meeting with gay and lesbian rights advocates; coordinated the first openly gay presence at a Democratic National Convention; was the first openly-gay or lesbian person appointed to a presidential commission (President Carter's National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year); and coordinated the passage of resolutions recognizing the rights of lesbians at thirty state women's conferences and at the National Women's Conference in Houston in 1977. She advocated for gay rights in immigration and naturalization law, campaigned to repeal anti-sodomy statues, and advocated with the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. In all, her efforts helped make gay rights a national issue in the late 1970s. Her commitments to feminism and anti-racism live on as core values of the Task Force.
Our thoughts are with Jean's partner, Lisa Phelps, other members of her family and her wide circle of friends.
Read Honoring Jean O'Leary, a statement from Senator Dianne Feinstein
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Real dirty amateur wives live on webcamThursday, June 26th, 2014
I haven't ever found a cam site that is only real British amateur wives on webcam. But I have found a great site that has lots of amateur wives on webcam and lots of them are British. But anyway, who really cares, what we really want is an amateur wife on webcam we can watch and have a wank over. Regardless where they are from. Who cares where the amateur wives are from when you have them live on webcam putting on amateur sex shows. These are some of the real wives I have watched and recorded live on webcam, doing sex shows for me. It is easy to record the live webcam shows with any video editing software or video capturing software, there are loads of free software out there to capture live feeds. But to be honest there is no real need as there are 100's of amateur on webcam on this site 24 hours a day. If you want to get control of the amateur webcam action, then take a look at this webcam site today, if not enjoy this movie I have made of some amateur wives live on webcam.

Good Questions: Designer Suggestions?
I'm remodeling a 7 story apartment building in Chicago and am looking for someone to make some really bland looking hallways pop... in a modern "W-Hotels" sort of way. Can you suggest a designer to help our efforts? -Larry
Dear Larry,
Some links that might help:
• Good Questions: Interior Designer Suggestions?
• design i interiors
• Finishing Touches Interiors
AT-ers, suggest away...and any designers out there, feel free to self-promote!
(Image via W Hotels Lakeshore)
3 Comments
Have you seen the conversion of the old produce markets, University Commons?
I think their designer did a tremendous job in designing their lobbies. Really cool, modern and fun. Lots of different colors and textures and fun pieces.
I believe it is Borg design?
It could be a trainwreck, but it could also be amazing.. have you considered getting 7 different perspectives/artists to tackle each floor's hallway?
Designer Recommendation: Contact Sherry Koppel at email@example.com (www.sherrykoppeldesign.com) to discuss your project.
You can also see her work at the Merchandise Mart's DreamHome. Her room is the screened-in porch.
Good luck with your search for the right designer!

The highlights of the night included a pin at 133 by sophomore Andrew Tilles (Devon, PA) and an inspiring effort at 149 by freshman Gene Zannetti (Edison, NJ), who was making his dual match debut while replacing incumbent junior Greg Austin (Seaville, NJ).
Zannetti was thrown on his back in the opening moments of his match and spent the next two minutes in that position, fighting desperately to avoid a pin and gain control of his opponent. At the tail end of the first period, Zannetti escaped and rebounded to win the match, 11-6.
"Zannetti did a great job battling back from a tough position at the start of his match," said head coach John Sacchi, who has now guided the Scarlet Knights to seven-straight wins over East Stroudsburg. "It was a total team effort tonight, but Zannetti's match really set the tone for us."
The match opened at 125, and the Warriors (6-1) started off strongly with Mark Koszyk holding off Shaun Sehar (Harrisburg, PA)12-8 to give ESU their lone lead of the night, 3-0. Tilles followed with a pin at the 2:43 mark, giving RU a 6-3 lead before Justin Smigelsky (Old Bridge, NJ) fell at 141, forging a 6-6 tie.
Zannetti's rousing win gave RU a 9-6 lead and propelled the Scarlet Knights to victories in six of the final seven matches. Amir Khan (Voorhees, NJ), out of action since before the holidays, returned with a 7-2 win over Keith Smith at 157 and Chris Ressa (Andover, NJ) continued his string of success with a 6-2 win at 165 over Brandon Mihalko. Andy Roy (Wall, NJ), also back after missing the Hitchcock Classic, scored an 8-1 win at 174 to increase the lead to 18-6 with three matches remaining.
After Rudy Medini (Colonia, NJ) fell, 9-7, to Shawn Smith at 184, seniors Ryan McGrath (Columbia, NJ) and Frank Sabatino (Hazlet, NJ) followed with back-to-back wins. McGrath defeated Stan Foster, 8-0, while Sabatino capped the successful night with a 6-0 win over Mike Pahira. McGrath has now won his last five matches by a combined score of 40-1.
The Scarlet Knights return to action on Saturday, when they travel to Annapolis, MD to face the United States Naval Academy in a 7:00 p.m. match.

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Katinka Hosszu of Hungary won gold in the women's 400 meters individual medley at the world championships in Barcelona on Sunday to follow up on her triumph over 200 meters earlier in the week.
Hosszu clocked four minutes 30.41 seconds to reclaim the title she won in 2009, with Mireia Belmonte Garcia of Spain delighting the home fans by taking silver in 4:31.21.
Defending champion Elizabeth Beisel of the United States claimed the bronze in 4:31.69, while Ye Shiwen of China, the Olympic champion and world record holder, could only manage seventh in 4:38.51.
