BREMEN ŌĆö Dealing with the pressure of the state tournament is hard enough, but there was something even bigger looming in the minds of Bremen players Wednesday.
With head coach Andrew Rohde in Florida taking care of his mother after she underwent unexpected brain surgery to remove a tumor, the young Lions had to buckle down and focus on the task at hand in their Bremen Boys Tennis Sectional opener with LaVille. They did just that, beating the Lancers 4-1 in a repeat of an earlier Northern State Conference match to advance to play Triton today.
ŌĆ£What I wanted to say is just how hard it is for these guys because AndrewŌĆÖs been such a good coach and such a good influence on them all year, and this came up unexpectedly,ŌĆØ said Bremen assistant coach Mark Wagner. ŌĆ£His mom and dad... theyŌĆÖve been at every one of our matches this year so the boys know who they are, and itŌĆÖs been really hard for our team to go through something where not only could their coach not be there with them, but the coachŌĆÖs mother is seriously ill, so IŌĆÖm really proud of them for playing like they did.ŌĆØ

Knights Down The Crown College
On Friday evening, 1-17-14, The Crown College men's basketball team came to Dane Damron Hall of Champions to take on the Knights in KCU's first home game of 2014. New in the lineup for the Knights would be Boyce Wooten, 6'6" center, and Tyler Carrier, 5'10" guard, and while both played sparingly, they brought some excitement to the game.
KCU got out to a strong start and led by 9 early, only to have The Crown close the gap. But the Knights found their rhythm again, and were in control by 8, at 47-39. Then after the break, the Knights extended that lead up to 12 at one point, and remained steadily ahead. With 6:19 to play, the Knights led by a score of 75-63, but at 1:10, that lead was at 78-70. In the final minute and change, KCU went to the foul line 3 times and didn't connect, and The Crown rebounded and hit a 3. With 8.1 seconds in the game, KCU was up 80-79, when Dylan Genung went to the line and hit the first of a bonus situation. He missed the second, and The Crown rebounded and shot a long 3, missing just a little, giving the Knights their second win of the season at 81-79.
Trevor Hunt's hustle down the stretch allowed him to put in several baskets, and made him the leading scorer for KCU, with 19. Dylan Genung and Tyler Farley each dropped in 17, Caleb Ford had 15, and Ace Puckett had 10. Puckett led the rebounding with 7. Farley led the Knights with 7 assists, in a game where they put 22 assists in the books.
The big news of the night was the win, only #2 thus far this season, but the addition of Wooten and Carrier to the roster spins things a little bit for the remainder of the season. When the two are up to speed and ready to compete, it just might be that spark that the Knights have needed to finish the season on an up-tick.
The Knights are now 2-11, and they host Johnson University on Saturday at 3 PM.

I am currently an undergraduate student at George Washington University. I am double-majoring in Anthropology and Dance and I am minoring in Spanish. I took my first Spanish course my freshman year of high school and began college in the Advanced I Spanish Course and am near fluent. I am passionate about both the Spanish language and culture and am even more passionate about spreading it through other people. I love tutoring and am really excited to work with all levels of Spanish students!
In the past, I have worked with students in grade school, from 6th to 11th grade, but believe I can work with younger and older kids, as well. I worked through my high school program and successfully helped students with comprehension, literature, grammar, writing, and even cultural concepts. In order to understand a lot of Spanish grammar and literature, one must first understand how the Spanish and Latin American cultures differ from our own. My tutoring method is very casual, comfortable, and conversational. I was there once, so I know how it feels to struggle with language. I understand the nerves and the frustrations; when I tutor, I am sure to use up the hour(s) efficiently, and you will not leave the same way you came. I assure you that your frustrations/confusions walking into our session will be eased and clarified. I lead organized tutoring sessions where I present strategies to make your Spanish learning experience easier. I teach you, but I do not tell you what or how to think. You will develop skills on your own that I simply guide. This is your journey and I cannot wait to help you.

NPD: Wii hits 10.9m US sales, becomes console leader {Joystiq}
Jul 17th 2008 7:54PM Listen, I love playing Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and lots of games on the 360/PS3 but if you ask me what my favorite games are they will not be a title on either one of those consoles. Now the Wii doesn't have the best quantity of good games, but there are a few really really good quality games, + all of the backwards compatibility to the old games that I love and still play (and I know you guys love, or else your just a new gamer to this generation). That is why I bought a Wii on launch day, that and the price. Kudos to Nintendo for selling so much, even if the numbers were switched and Sony sold more then Nintendo, you guys also forget that day one the Wii was profitable, were as the PS3 is not profitable yet and the 360 just barely become profitable.
PS. I'm a gamer, and once I get settled in with money, I will eventually buy a PS3/360 but that doesn't devalue my Wii at all.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - It's popping up in convenience stores around Mississippi, a product labeled "not for human consumption." It comes with names like Spice, K-2 or Buddha.
Users who smoke it say it produces the same high as using marijuana, and it's perfectly legal.
One user said, "It's a similar feeling to smoking marijuana as far as slowing things down, paying closer attention to the details whether it's a movie or a video game."
The herb is sprayed with chemicals to produce the high. It's even more readily available on the Internet. Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Director Marshall Fisher said Thursday the popularity of Spice is on the rise because of its affordability.
"They're selling for somewhere between $20-50, relatively inexpensive," said Fisher. "It's not illegal. It's being marketed as a legal high, or legal weed."
Because it's easily accessible, Spice is falling into the hands of teens, who are willing to experiment smoking it, but they should be warned. It's also rumored to have serious side effects, heart palpitations, hallucinations, and vomiting.
Marshall Fisher's working with state legislators to create laws banning the ingredients of Spice, but that may not happen until next year. The makers of the spices are selling it in different flavors, making them more appealing to young people, but at the same time, aggravating those fighting to keep Mississippi drug free.

Question: Are Rhonda Allison products chemical free?
Answer: Chemicals are any substances with a distinct molecular composition. Chemicals can be natural or synthetic and are present in just about everything on earth, so a claim of chemical free can be a bit misleading. Rhonda Allison products, as do all skincare products, contain some types of natural and safe chemicals. Rhonda Allison has been dedicated to creating skincare products that do not contain harmful or dangerous chemicals. Rhonda Allison believes that dangerous chemicals can not only be harmful to user but, are in fact, counterproductive to skincare. Rhonda Allison is dedicated to creating products which are made from the purest and freshest ingredients, natural colors, natural scents, and only the highest quality preservatives. Rhonda Allison's skincare products are scientifically developed to combine all-natural ingredients with uniquely designed compounds to ensure you skin's health and youth. For instance Rhonda Allison's sun protection products contain, SPF, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Oxide (metals) extracts of algae, and herb complex of Sandalwood, Corktree and Barley. These ingredients are combined to create natural chemical compositions which will protect you skin from the damaging rays of the sun, but the product can be said to be chemical-free, as no synthetic chemicals have been added to the mixture. Other products like Rhonda Allison's cleansers contain Glycolic Acid polymers which can be classified as a chemical but are completely safe and actually exfoliate the surface of the skin leaving it smooth and clean as the chemical gently removes dead and damaged skin.
Question: What are the best Rhonda Allison products?
Answer: Trying to find the best Rhonda Allison products may not be an easy answer, as most people will have unique skin needs and conditions. Rhonda Allison's products have been developed to treat specific needs so the best product for you may not be the best product for the next person. That being said there are some products that can and should be used by everyone regardless of skin type or skin condition. Everyone goes outside and everyone is exposed to the harmful ray of the sun. Rhonda Allison's sun protection product is a great solution to protect and rejuvenate your skin. This product is made from all natural ingredients and is free of harmful chemicals. Rhonda Allison's cleansers are another great solution for any skin type or condition. These cleansers will gently clean and properly moisturize your skin, and is a beneficial product offering important nutrients and nourishing support. Scrubs are also an important, and often over-looked, cleansing product great for all users. These scrubs will polish, replenish, stimulate, and exfoliate the skin by lifting away dead skin cells. Lotions and toners can be used daily and is a must use product as they contain antioxidants to aid in age reversing effects. The eyes show age more than any other area of the face, and eye care is another one of Rhonda Allison's products that will provide great results regardless of skin type or condition. The best products may be the products you need for daily skincare, look for these Rhonda Allison products for great results.
Question: What are the best Rhonda Allison products for pregnant skin?
Answer: While many women experience a wonderful glow during pregnancy many are not so lucky. Hormonal changes can have adverse skin effects such as, acne, melasma, and rosacea. Many women, worried about their health and the health of their unborn child, are not comfortable using any product which may introduce harmful chemicals into their systems. There are some active ingredients which should never be used during pregnancy, but some are mild enough to be used safely. Pregnancy does not have to be the end of skincare, and Rhonda Allison has designed the perfect skincare solution that is gentle and safe enough for all expected mothers. The facial is not only a relaxing and wonderful skin treatment but with the right combination of Rhonda Allison's skincare products it can be very safe to use when expecting. The Beta Green Tea cleanser is a great antioxidant and perfect for those experiencing acne or rosacea, and its anti-inflammatory properties make it great for soon to be moms. The exfoliant, Brightening scrub, is gentle enough for pregnant moms and will leave the face lighter, brighter, and cleaner. Rhonda Allison's Antioxidant Complex will return your skin to its optimal moister levels while firming and toning the face. The Grape Seed Parfait can be used to prevent and correct moister loss. Daily Defense SF 30 will protect your skin from the sun, and is chemical-free, an important notion for moms to be.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This is verbatim what happened when the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii consoles first came out. The madness on eBay was insane. People were willing to pay 10k for a 360; 3k for a PS3. Where are those people now? Likely broke and still the same. $200 - $600 for a beta goes beyond normalcy and falls into the realm of lunacy.
Raymond clark said...
i just dont get why the dont activate the beta vier the account opted in , we optin that way so why not lock it into the account, and as for the comment about.
best/most supportive customers that suck' just becaus some of us could not go for eather finatual or work or family comitments does not mean we arn't commited.

I'm wondering if anyone here has Moodle or an alternative VLE installed on a private development server that I can have access to. I'm having real difficulty getting a SCORM package to upload and Test Track keeps timing out for me. The packages are quite large in size (~150MB) but they can be deleted after.
Would appreciate the help!

Oh Infant Jesus, Son of our Lord
Who spreads special love and is widely adored
You brightened the world on the day of your birth
And many years later, saved people on earth
Many people had seen and followed the star
They came from all over, some traveled afar
All came to praise You, the young and the old
Some came with gifts, like frankincense and gold
All those who looked in the manger and saw
The little Lord Jesus were filled with great awe
The Blessed Mother Mary gave birth to God's Son
And Saint Joseph raised him, as God would have done
As He lay sleeping, on His small bed of hay
The people all rejoiced, He has come, praise the day
The shepherds, the angels, and the wise men of three
All came to gaze on the Savior to be
No one who came to the infant yet knew
All the wonderful miracles this child would do
He would heal the sick, and give hope to the poor
He would give all He had to His people and more
The Light of the World, the Savior is here
He will teach us and guide us and we'll have no fear
He will bring us a message, the word from above
And that message is simple, the message is love
Far up in Heaven, the joy of Christ rang
The angels were smiling and happy souls sang
Come hear the good news, they said with great joy
Praise our dear Lord and His new baby boy
God gave Him a message, His one only Son
To save all his people, to make them as one
He was sent down to help us and show us the way
So we may be part of God's Kingdom someday
The Infant Jesus came as God's Eternal Light
A light that shines forever, so clear and so bright
I will follow that light till the end of my days
I will worship my God and give him my praise
I celebrate His birthday at Christmas each year
A day that fills people with laughter and cheer
The presents don't matter, but I know what does
My Jesus, who will be, is now, and who was
A Savior is Born: A Poem to the Infant Jesus
Dear Faith Writer,
Your words and illustrations are simply wonderful, reflecting your beautiful soul! I am privileged to have been one of your teachers. I am absolutely thrilled that you are finally getting the recognition you deserve. How fabulous that your message is now available to all!
God bless you always, Mrs. Costanza

Ask a Question
Does the submissive take the initiative?
Does she read his face, and know that, right then, it's time to pull him into an alleyway?
Does the submissive wonder whether this is what he wants of her, whether she should take control, or whether she should leave it up to him?
Does the Dominant always Dominate?
When the crowd gets too much, and the noise starts to make him grow irritable and frustrated, does she know that it's time to go? Or does she just squeeze his hand? How does she know?
Does he wonder, she wonders, whether the things he does are things he should do?
Should he wonder such things?
Did he like her, or just want to control her? Was there anything beyond their kink? Did he feign interest?
When should she say the things she should say? How should she respond when he calls her his, or when filthy, beautiful words fall from his mouth? Should she respond in kind, or just moan desperate assent?
Should she always obey? When should she not?
Can she tell him 'Now.'? Can she plead? Can she stay strong and independent and still be his fuck thing?
Is she a bad feminist?
Is she a bad person?
Why does she like the things she likes? Why does he? Which of them is more fucked up?
Does she really like being hurt, or just like being able to feel something? Was that as clichéd as it sounded? Does that make it wrong?
Does she like being hurt? Does he like hurting?
Why does it feel so good when she gags on him? Why can't she stop doing it?
Is she a slut?
What is he?
What is she?
Does the submissive know the answer to these questions?
Does the Dominant?

Heels are about masochism, right?
I mean, that's why women wear them. It's to endure the pain to achieve something beautiful. They slip their foot into the shoe, settle down onto the pinpoint of support that digs up into their heel, and it accentuates pretty much everything above it. The muscles of the calf are brought into sharp relief, the thighs look amazing because thighs always look amazing, and then your arse just… well, it curves. It curves really well.
But it hurts. I've seen women walk through the door and kick off their heels like a spurned lover that said just the wrong thing at the wrong time. It's a sort of catharsis that slips over their face, there, the relief that washes over them. They can relax, they don't have to be tied to that bondage any longer. They can just be, and not have to be beautiful and tight.
Because that's what heels do. They make you tight. And desirable. And they make you hurt. It's a hurt that you enjoy, of course, otherwise you wouldn't be doing it in the first place. Maybe not the sensation itself, but the result, certainly. Sacrificing one feeling in favour of another.
Sounds like masochism to me. You bunch of pain sluts.

She closed the door behind her and took a breath, the kind of relaxing, prepare-for-a-big-sigh breath that you take when you finally get home after a long day. And she had. Here, in the foyer, next to the coats and the shoes, she was still a diligent employee, a tired worker. Once she stepped past that door, she'd be his.
She lingered here almost every day, treating it like an airlock, letting it decompress her, prepare her for her life at home after spending the whole day maintaining her façade, the cracked mask of normality that made everyone else think that she was just like them.
She exhaled. Big fucking sigh of relief. She stepped through the door. Her bag hit the floor, and she started to undress. Wriggling out of the pencil skirt, unbuttoning the blouse, shrugging off the jacket. In less than a minute she went from prim and proper to nude and heeled, the only piece of clothing that she was allowed to keep. That and the glasses. He liked those especially.
She always shivered, then, as her body got used to the lack of protection. Goosebumps ran up her arms, and she folded her clothes neatly, setting them on the side table that was left there precisely for that purpose. Heading to the living room, she took her book from her bag, and reclined on the sofa. He'd be home soon, and while she was his now, she also had some time of her own.
And when she heard the crunch of gravel underneath his tyres, her heart would always beat a little faster, skip the odd beat. Hearing his keys in the lock would be fingers running down her spine. Seeing his silhouette in through the door would have her biting her lip.
And seeing him, in the flesh, in that suit, would have her moaning. Every damn time.
(via blackleatherbelt)
It wasn't built to last. It was built for speed, all raw chassis and an engine that could take you to the moon and back if you only pointed it upwards. And they went fast. Their slipstream cut a swathe through their immediate area, leaving those around them with the faintest feeling that they might just be missing out. That they might want to start jumping each other's bones a little bit more than they were. Eroticism became their footprint, the trail they blazed.
Inertia kept things from shaking too much at first. She was in love with him, that much was clear. He knew it from the way her eyes stared up at him while he was down her mouth. She choked for him. He made her choke, and they both fell in love with that, just a bit. Her voice would swoon when she said his name, all the strength falling from it as it dwindled into a cracked upper octave, and she'd have to clear her throat.
The power of her affection was enough to make him reciprocate. She slipped in under his guard and set up her home, but all the while the speed was taking its toll, little bits of dust and grit getting into the engine, making it splutter and tick, all the while going ever faster. He bought her a collar. She moved in with him. They fucked, over and over, ever more intricately. They felt like they were getting to the core of one another. They were, in a way.
Those around them, the ones who had been swept up in the sheer primal lust of them, saw it first. The stilted conversation, and the occasional look that was far more warning than attraction. He'd said something stupid, or at least she thought so, and that was where it started. She'd fidget, or at least he thought so, and that was where it got worse.
It wasn't built to last, and it didn't. Pieces started to fly off the chassis, the roll-cage doing little to protect the structure of the vehicle, the speed doing far more damage than any crash could. It was tearing itself apart, that inertia forcing it to implode. It flared up, when she refused him one time too many, and then it flared out.
And she walked away. It was months before the tired old phrase popped into her head, and she hated it then, and she hated it now.
The candle that burns twice and bright burns twice as fast.

It threatens to consume, this lifestyle of ours. We leave the ropes and cuffs in the bedroom, but the rest we carry with us, out of that door and into the big bad world. That's a lot of baggage to haul around, and a lot to weigh on a mind. It's something unique to all of this, something that the rest don't really have to deal with.
They have their boyfriends, and their sex, and their cuddles and their relationships, but they slot rather neatly into the rest of their lives. The way I'm phrasing this leads to an Us v Them mentality, but that's not what I'm getting at in the slightest. I'll boil it down a little more, reduce it into a thicker mixture.
You don't stop being my submissive when you leave the house. You layer on the rest of you, all your personality quirks and professional demeanour, but you stay my submissive. You know that, I know that, and that knowledge comes with it a weight of consciousness, a tick in the back of your mind that is never truly something you can ignore. The loosest leash in the world, and despite your freedom you know that it's there, dangling from your neck, ready to be pulled to bring you back to me.
You have to be strong, to cope with that kind of knowledge every moment of every day. You have to be strong, for me to pick you. It all works out in the end.
(via americanmercury-deactivated2012)
Rules made her wet. Which, she'd found, was a problem when one of the rules that he'd placed on her was a strict 'no touching' policy. Each time one of the others would slip into her mind, (and, considering the length of the list, it was fairly regularly), she'd get a twinge between her legs and she'd let out a gasp, squeezing her thighs together and trying to hide the flush that rose to her cheeks like wildfire.
He wasn't a cruel man, though. At least, not all of the time, and so he'd decided to grant her a reprieve, once a week, where she was given free reign to do with her fingers as she wished. He couldn't hide the smile from his face as he told her, knowing that her excitement was going to be a physical, arms included kind of thing. The hug nearly winded him, those lithe arms being surprisingly strong.
And so the Saturday had rolled around, arriving after an agonising wait, each day one where he would tease her relentlessly, occasionally giving her a moment's permission to touch, rub, tease, before calling out an amused denial, forcing her to shake and tremble and pout, left unsatisfied another night running. She should've known that he wouldn't just give something as powerful as a day free from a rule lightly, but this was an exquisite new kind of torture.
She woke up late, and she woke with her hand already between her legs, as if her body knew the rule wasn't in effect before her mind had properly parsed it. She stopped herself, though, on instinct, knowing he might walk in at any moment. Then, as slow as the sun cresting the horizon and shining in through her window, she realised that she was… free.
And so the hand returned. And it got to work. And she got to work. Twice in that hour. Once more before breakfast. Three times before lunch. Five during the afternoon, and once during supper, much to his amused chagrin. And, in a crazed frenzy knowing the rule would reinstate the instant the clock hit midnight, she managed another five in just four hours.
She ached. She was sore. She was exhausted.
First thing Sunday he made her start all over again, her exhausted fingers, her sore sex, punished for their gluttony. He smiled as he gave the order, and, reluctant as she was, she smiled too.
(via submissiveconfessions-deactivat)
She'd made a mess of herself again. An errant thought had formed at the peak of her mind, and as it tumbled through her head it had caused an avalanche of lust and distraction. And she was drowning in it.
She found it kind of ridiculous how it all snowballed so quickly. Of course right now she didn't think of it that way, because she was hardly thinking. Her brain had set a course and smashed the controls, and there was only one destination she could even consider.
It hadn't been like this before him. She'd been a productive member of society, able to function on a basic level, at the very least. But now that he'd awakened… well, whatever it was, it was making daily life more than a little difficult for her. Idle thoughts, or, more dangerously, idle hands, were a source of constant distraction.
And he knew, the bastard. He knew what he'd done to her, and he revelled in it. She'd just about make it through her day, get home, and the instant she didn't have work to occupy her mind it would bobsled down the run towards all sorts of depraved, deviant things. By the time he got home half an hour later she was a mess. Perhaps that was the reason, underlying all of this; the proximity of his return. Pavlovian conditioning made a life choice.
It was just a good thing he was so good at cleaning her up. Well, once he was done with her, at least.
(Source: femaleboner, via hisprerogative)
He didn't say anything. For the longest moment, he just looked at her, regarded her, gazed and stared, his eyes wandering up and down, assessing and analysing. For the longest moment, she had no idea what was going on in his head.
He had made her get dressed out of his view, so she wandered off with clothes in hand and that pert little bottom bared for him to watch wander off, and came back as he had imagined her. Or at least, that was the idea. But the nerves set in, the neurosis and insecurities, and she worried and fretted, her fingers fondling the thin mesh of the babydoll, pulling and tugging on it. And still he watched.
It seemed like an hour before his lips even parted, an hour before he was about to speak, let alone before a word actually passed his lips. And somehow, that just made it more uncomfortable, more anxiety riddled and difficult to handle. She wanted to scream, to run over there and shake him until he told her what he thought.
She wanted to curl up into a ball and have the world forget about her.
And then, a flicker. The corners of his mouth turning just the slightest amount. Just enough for her to wonder whether she'd seem anything at all, as if her anxious mind might be playing tricks on her. Then there it was, again. And again. Alternating between almost smiling and almost deadpan. He was toying with her, she slowly started to realise.
He saw that recognition on her face, and the smile was properly born. His hands spread, and the smile turned into a grin.
"My dear, you look positively edible. Like the most candied of sweets. Come over here so that I can devour you."

Oh how easy it is to decry pink, to label it as childish, immature, unintelligent. To push it into a grey corner with a snide derision, to stick to your reds and purples, or, for those more conservative among you, your pale, tertiary pastels.
Now, I wouldn't wear pink myself, because clearly that's not the kind of man I am. I have neither the inclination, nor the somewhat confusing urge to beat my chest and declare what a man I am because I wear pink. Surely the confident thing to do is to neither actively avoid or actively partake in a colour you don't particularly have any strong feelings towards wearing? I digress.
On a submissive woman, though, I can't think of something I like more than the varying shades of pink. If there ever was a colour that was resolutely submissive, then it was pink. Acquiescing to the stronger reds, the pure whites, it's between, supplicant to both. Soft, utterly feminine, and just… lovely.
I think that's it. It's lovely. Completely, resolutely. Perhaps that's what polarises people so. They need a bit of sophistication to their niceness, or some edge to their pleasant nature. But with pink, it's just… that. Just lovely. Nothing more, nothing less.

They had their rituals, just like any couple. She'd make the tea. He'd look after the BBQ whenever they got out the grill. Laundry was her responsibility, as was making sure the conditioner stayed the same. He managed the accounts.
But they had their own idiosyncrasies that went a ways to setting them apart. She'd always go to sleep a good hour before him, because he was a little nocturnal like that, and always did his work past midnight. He'd pick out her outfit for the next day, laid out on the floor at the base of their bed.
She'd make the tea naked. Well, naked apart from the yoke.
And he'd find her, after reading the paper, drinking that tea, and perhaps having a piece of toast, dressed and gagged, chained to his study wall. From there he could decide what to do with her, where she would go.
But then, every couple has their own little rituals. They're all the same, really.
Practically identical.
The power is in the pull. The draw. The downstroke.
It's why some girls come from behind. Because they don't save the best for last, they want it all at the start so that they can wallow in the thrill of it all the way down. Right on the button, and then between swollen, throbbing lips, before you do it all over again.
There's something to be said for those who save it for last. The good girls who know that leaving the best taste lingering the longest is the most satisfying, and so they have the self control and will to enjoy it that way. There's something to be said for them, and someone to say it. That someone isn't me, I'm afraid.
No, I want those other girls. The ones who go for their clit first, from behind, and then claw their way down to the bottom of their cunt. Who press their face into the pillow and contort their bodies to get a better angle with which to attack themselves. The ones who want it all right the fuck now, thank you very much. They're the ones I'll say something for. Hell, I just did.
Because they're the ones who have something to learn. The ones who, when you laugh and swat their hand away, will give you that adorable look of reproach, who'll defy you all the damn way until there's nothing left in them but acceptance and sex.
Those are the girls for me.

Oh, the simple life.
How lovely it would be to leash you to the sink while I finish cooking the supper, or perhaps to the leg of my chair while I watch some television. To have you constantly bound, never truly free, as bound physically as you are mentally. Always a leash, forever a chain.
It would make those seldom moments when you do get that freedom all the sweeter, every single second savoured, cherished in the way a convict treasures freedom when they finally get it.
Cherished, and terrifying.
Because you've been in chains too long, my dear, and you've gone institutional. So come back, pretty thing, come back to me and my chains, and I'll keep you ever so safe.

The heels always stay on.
No matter how naked you get, how tied up you become. No matter what I write on you, or how messed up your hair is, the heels stay on. Why? Hang on… I'll have to give that one a think.
It's because they're heels, right? The purpose is to emphasise the calves, accentuate the rear, and so they're an objectification tool, first and foremost.
No, that's not quite right.
They're also a platform. A stage, for the woman who wears them. They lend you a few inches, bring you to a closer level to the men that so dominate the workplace, or did (although lets not kid ourselves, the 'workplace', whatever it may be, is still pretty male-dominated), when heels were first brought in. So the heels go a way of striking that imbalance back in favour of the woman.
Still not quite right.
Oh, how obvious.
It's both. They build you up but at the same time bring you down. Oh, delicious dichotomy, incredible contradiction. Terrific tension. Forgive the alliteration, but I always get a little thrill when I find a tasty little paradox at the core of something. Conflicting forces, working to create something wholly unique.
So that's why the heels stay on while I fuck you, tie you up, and call you a little whore. Next time don't ask questions you don't want long answer to.

"Play with yourself."
A simple enough command. But there's a whole heap wrapped up in it. Embarrassment, exhibitionism, the desperate need to impress and do me proud. It's taking something intimate and taking it out of that private place, even if the audience is singular. That thing that you've done for so long, on your own, is suddenly done not on your own. It does funny things to a mind, a shift like that.
And while I'll admit that the embarrassment and discomfort, as wonderfully arousing as they are, are a draw, there's an ulterior purpose at play, another goal in mind that's far more beneficial to the both of us. You see, while I play the teacher and mentor so often, there's plenty that I need to learn. Plenty I've learned before, with other girls and other commands, but every girl is different. They're lessons that you need a refresher course in every time you start a new relationship.
And you're the best one to teach me. Show me how you like things, when you're alone and you've got no one to direct you, or tell you what to do. When it's just you and your hand, and you're trying to make yourself come as fast and hard as you can. I want to know how you do that, so I can map out those moves, and know exactly when and where to apply them when the time comes. It's my crib sheet, written by your hand.

He was a polygraph, and her face was the needle.
He knew, it seemed, every time there was genuine worry in her eyes, and when it was mere anxiety. And he knew when she considered herself in danger, and he knew when to pull back.
He knew how to read her in minute detail, to watch every action, reaction, every little piece of her that she put on display, that he put on display, and be able to tell, in an instant, when to push and when to hold back. He was a safe cracker, except he really didn't want to crack the safe. He wanted to open it up.
The title is a misnomer.

I don't know the words

He looks at me.
I'm sent.
Absolutely sent.
He talks
not to me.
I feel a little crazy anyway.
I don't know what to say
but I will...someday.
Cuz he sends me.
Absolutely sends me.
I fall up
and fall back down
land on my head
and spin all around.
My blood curdles
and my knees buckle
and I can't imagine

but I will.
I'm sent

JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised Sunday to follow through with plans for settlement construction in a key West Bank area known as E-1 after police evicted scores of Palestinian protesters who had set up a tent camp there.
We will complete the planning, and there will be construction, Netanyahu told Army Radio hours after the eviction.
Netanyahu, who is in the home stretch of an election campaign, moved swiftly against the Palestinian encampment, a new form of protest modeled after scores of wildcat outposts set up by Jewish settlers on West Bank hills without government approval.
Pakistan ousts Baluchistan leaders
Pakistani leaders dismissed the government of southwest Baluchistan province early Monday in response to the demands of protesters angry about an attack on minority Shiite Muslims there that killed 86 people.
In another part of the country, a roadside bomb killed 14 Pakistani soldiers.
Over the past three days, thousands of Shiites have blocked a main road in the Baluchistan capital of Quetta with dozens of coffins of relatives killed in the twin bombing of a billiards hall in the city Thursday. They demanded the provincial government be dismissed and that the army take over responsibility for the city.
Gay marriage protested in Paris
Holding aloft ancient flags and young children, hundreds of thousands of people converged Sunday on the Eiffel Tower to protest French President Francois Hollande's plan to legalize gay marriage and thus allow same-sex couples to adopt and conceive children.
Paris police estimated the crowd at 340,000, making it one of the largest demonstrations in Paris since 1984.
Public opposition spearheaded by religious leaders has chipped away at the popularity of Hollande's plan. About 52 percent of French favor legalizing gay marriage, according to a survey released Sunday, down from as high as 65 percent in August.

EA: Reinvigorated PES "keeps us all on our toes"
The word on the touchlines is that PES 2013 marks a return to form after a few years on the bench. Are EA scared? Are they sweating like a striker in the sights of Joey Barton's studs? Apparently not. EA's chief operating officer, Peter Moore, has responded to the positive buzz for Konami's competing football sim by saying: "We always welcome competition from our good friends at Konami," adding that it "keeps us all on our toes".
"Pro Evo has been a favourite game for a number of years but I think people recognise Fifa has been a powerful force and we've raised the quality of what soccer games are in the entertainment business."

Dungeons of Dredmor free expansion out today
Ooh, "E3 this" and "E3 that," it's like AAA mega-blockbusters are the only games which exist this week. Undaunted, Dungeons of Dredmor has pressed on and released its free DLC expansion, the wonderfully-named 'You Have To Name The Expansion Pack.' What's more, if you own a Steam copy, that's had Steam Workshop support patched in too, and it's on sale for $1.50 if you don't.
The DLC includes four new skill lines--the Clockwork Knight, Rogue Scientist, Battle Geologist and Warlockery--new room shapes, monsters, and more. Read up on developer Gaslamp's blog for the full run-down. On Steam, the DLC's this-a-way.
It's quite fitting that Steam Workshop support should launch today too, as the DLC's new additions are based upon community-made mods. Have a poke around the Workshop now, if you fancy.
To celebrate all this, DoD is discounted by 70% to a mere $1.50 on Steam for the next week, or $2.25 with its other, not-free DLC.

I remember, once it happened that Mulla Nasruddin came back to his house one evening. The whole day he had been involved in a football match. He was a fan. In the evening when he entered the house, his wife was reading a newspaper, and she said, "Look, Nasruddin, there is something for you. It is reported here that a man has given his wife in return for a season ticket for the football matches. You are also a fan, a mad fan, but I cannot conceive that you would do the same. Or would you? Could you exchange me just to get a season ticket for the football matches?"
Nasruddin thought hard, and then he said, "Of course I would not - because it is ridiculous and criminal. The season is half over."
Every mind has its own orientation. You may use the same words but because you are different, those same words cannot be the same.
Then Buddha said another thing, and that is even more significant. He said, "Anand, why are you disturbed? You were not a party. You should not listen, because not a single answer was given to you. You should remain indifferent, otherwise you will go mad. Don't move with me because I will be involved with many, many types of persons. And if you listen to everything that is not said to you, you will get confused and crazy. You just leave me. Otherwise remember to listen only when I speak to you; at other times don't listen. Whatsoever I say is not your business. It was not said to you and it was not your question at all. So why should you be worried? You were not related. Someone asked, someone else replied. Why are you unnecessarily worried about it? If you have the same question, ask, and then I will answer. But remember, my answers are not to the questions, but to the questioners. I respond. I look at the man, I see through the man, the man becomes transparent - and this is my response. The question is irrelevant; the questioner is relevant."
You cannot ask for consistency from an enlightened person. Only unenlightened, ignorant persons can be consistent, because they don't have to look. They just follow some ideas. They carry dead ideas, consistently. For their whole life they will carry something and they will remain consistent to it. They are stupid, that's why they can remain consistent. They are not alive. They are dead. Aliveness cannot be consistent. That doesn't mean that it is wrong - aliveness is consistent, but very deeply, not on the surface. Buddha is consistent in all the three answers, but his consistency is not in the answers - his consistency is in his effort to help. He wanted to help the first man. He wanted to help the second man. He wanted to help the third man. For all three, compassion was there, love was there. He wanted to help them - that is his consistency. But it is a deep current. His words are different, his answers are different, but his compassion is the same.

Voilà les daltons (by esquimo_2ooo)
camera flashes. lol can't ID them
The Kno. Dual 14.1-inch capacitive IPS displays (1440x900 each) with both pen and touch input. Tegra 2, 16GB of built-in storage. It weighs a whopping 5.5 pounds and will last you about six to eight hours on a full charge. It's aimed at college students because it will have textbooks from publishers and allow you to do a lot. Write notes directly "on" the textbook, directly click a link in the textbook, immediately watch a video embedded in the textbook, etc. And of course, it has a web browser (Flash and HTML5 support included), calendar, etc. It'll support third-party apps, but they seem to be geared toward education (which is understandable, given the target market).
Am I thrilled? Kind of. It's ridiculous size and weight disappoint me, but the idea is great. It's like the Courier, but with a larger physical size and not-as-cool software. I don't carry around a lot of textbooks, but I'm sure students that carry their notebook and a bunch of textbooks would appreciate this a lot.
Expected price? Under $1,000. When? By the end of the year.

"health insurance is a
luxury I cant afford on my own. I need help and am not exactly sure where
to get it. I dont know what government programs out there I would qualify
Getting children the health care they need gives
parents peace of mind that they are helping their children lead healthier,
happier lives. There are several low- or no-cost
insurance programs for Alabama children.
Older children, such as college students or young
adults in the workforce, need to have access to medical care too. If you have
children older than 18 years, who are not insured, visit the
College Student or Recent
High School or College Graduate pages of this web site to learn about
insurance options that are available for older children.
**The following two programs use a joint application
form which is available at any county health department, as well as most
hospitals. You may also apply online at
or call 1-888-373-KIDS to have an application mailed to you. These 2 programs'
eligibility is based on age, income, and family size. A child can only be
eligible for one of these programs at a time.
ALL Kids is the Children's Health Insurance Program
offered by the Alabama Department of Public Health for uninsured children under
age 19. ALL Kids helps families who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid
and cannot afford private
insurance. (Family size and income determine eligibility under ALL Kids.)
Applications are available at any county health department or Department of
Human Resources office, as well as most hospitals. You can also apply online at
the ALL Kids Web site or call
1-888-373-KIDS to have an application mailed to you.
SOBRA Medicaid provides health care coverage for
pregnant women and children under age 19 who fall within certain income
guidelines. These children may be living in one or two parent families. You may
also apply for unrelated children as long as they are living in the home.
Family planning (birth control) services are available for women between the
ages of 19 and 44.
To qualify, you must be an Alabama resident and U.S.
citizen or eligible immigrant and show proof of your status. Applicants must
also meet income level and age requirements.
To apply in person, go to your local county health
department, federally qualified health care center or some local hospitals. For
a paper application, call 1-800-362-1504 or visit Medicaids web site at
www.medicaid.alabama.gov. You may
also apply on-line at insurealabama.adph.state.al.us/.
There may be small co-pays, however, there are no
co-pays for children under 18 years of age, pregnant women or those receiving
birth control (family planning) services.
Some of the Medicaid benefits include regular "well
child" check-ups and immunizations for children, sick child doctor and nurse
visits, dental and hearing services for children under age 21, prescriptions,
vision services, hospital services, mental health/substance abuse services,
birth control and pregnancy related services.
Additional information on eligibility, benefits and
services, and income requirements can be found on the Alabama Medicaid web site
at www.medicaid.alabama.gov.

The Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA) offers the
Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Plan (PEEHIP) to all full-time
employees of any public education institution within the state of Alabama and
their dependents. Part-time employees and their dependents (who are not
substitute or transient employees) are also eligible.
PEEHIP provides financial assistance to qualifying
members based on their income. Persons with a combined family income of 200% or
less of the the federal poverty level (FPL) qualify for a PEEHIP FPL Premium
Discount on their hospital, medical, or
health maintenance
organization (HMO) premium.
Go to the PEEHIP Family Income Table to find
out whether you meet income requirements.
PEEHIP CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) is
offered to children of public education employees who qualify for the FPL
Premium Discount but are not eligible for Medicaid. The PEEHIP CHIP program is
a low co-pay
program for children under the age of 19 who would normally qualify for the
PEEHIP Hospital Medical Plan.
Visit the
PEEHIP web site for
more information on health plan benefits and services for children and to
download an application or call 1-800-214-2158.
SECHIP is a
insurance plan for children (newborn through 18 years of age) of low income
(100-200% federal poverty level) state employees and retirees.
A child is eligible for coverage under SECHIP if the
child is:

Some people came together for an event today hoping to knock cancer out of the park.
It was the 1st Annual Best of the Breast Softball Tournament in Hannibal. Teams competed raising money to help "Grab It By The Horns" a local organization that helps out those with cancer. Sheila Combs, founder of the organization and who also has cancer, said when one of the teams approached her about the tournament, she was filled with joy.
"Honestly, I cried. I (have) stage 4 (cancer) I'm about to the end of what treatments can be done for me and when they came to me and wanted to do (the tournament), I was ecstatic."
Team Coors Light headed by Scott Bowen hosted the tournament. Combs said she was surprised by the turnout and hopes to continue it every year.

A Clear & Plastic Danger
By Alan Reder
In Hollywood's 1967 classic The Graduate, our floundering hero, recent law school grad Ben Braddock, wonders what to do with his life when a family friend offers him a surefire career tip: "I want to say one word to you—plastics." While Braddock doesn't follow that advice, it was indeed solid counsel for that era. In 2008, however, plastics face a far more troubled future. The crux of the problem? Endocrine disruption.
Endocrine disrupters are chemicals found in scads of widely used products. They resemble hormones in their chemical structure, leading many researchers to believe that the body treats them as hormones, too. Once inside us, endocrine disrupters interfere with normal hormonal processes, causing genetic damage, especially in developing fetuses and children. Among other things, the chemicals throw sexual development off course, make reproductive systems go haywire, and cause hormone- related cancers. While the only proof of harm comes from animal testing, the threat appears to extend to humans as well.
Endocrine disruption flared as a hot topic in 1996, sparked by the book Our Stolen Future (Penguin, 1996), by zoologist Theo Colborn and others. By tying some alarming research to some just-as-alarming human trends, Colborn demonstrated that major impacts from endocrine disrupters might already be affecting the human population. For instance, the authors suggested that breast cancer rates, which have risen sharply since the mid-20th century, might be related to the widespread use of pesticides and herbicides that contain hormone-mimicking chemicals. Studies at the Strang Cornell Cancer Research Laboratory showed that the chemicals appear to push estrogen metabolism in a direction that profoundly boosts cancer risk.
In the 12 years since Colborn published Our Stolen Future, the federal government has responded to research-based questions about endocrine disrupters mainly by protecting corporations that profit from them. Yet evidence that Colborn and her coauthors were right continues to mount.
For a microcosm of what's been happening with endocrine disrupters in the US, consider the case of the widely used chemical bisphenol-A (BPA). Industry loves BPA because it makes polycarbonate plastic clear and nearly unbreakable. An extensive body of literature supports the view that this chemical, originally developed as a synthetic estrogen, can cause hormonal chaos. "We're talking about hundreds of studies with large sample sizes by the world's premier scientists in endocrinology, neurobiology, and developmental biology—published in the major journals in the world," says University of Missouri-Columbia neurobiologist Fred vom Saal, a pioneer in BPA research. But the FDA has so far declared BPA safe, citing instead two tiny studies. Those studies, unlike the independent research that counters them, were funded by the chemical industry.
The government has also failed to act against phthalates—chemicals used mainly to ...

PISCATAWAY, NJ - The Rutgers men's and women's swimming and diving teams each defeated West Virginia in dominant fashion in the first BIG EAST action of the season for both teams. The men won 140-98, while the women topped the Mountaineers 142-91.
For the men, senior Matt Campbell (Haddonfield, NJ), junior Josh Van Norman (San Diego, CA) and sophomore Tyler Clark (Granada Hills, CA) were all double winners. Campbell took the 50 (20.78) and 100 freestyle (45.94), while Van Norman won the 200 backstroke (1:54.05) and swam leadoff on the victorious 400 medley relay (3:25.90). Clark was also a part of the relay and won the 200 fly (1:53.20) in a BIG EAST A qualifying time. Jonathan Hupp (Mobile, AL) and sophomore Jamie Miller (Hamburg, NY) took first (4:06.10) and third (4:07.29) in the 400 IM, both earning BIG EAST A qualifying times.
The women had several strong performances as well. Sophomore Kelly Harrigan (Bristol, CT) was a triple-winner, taking first in the 400 IM (4:29.07) and the 200 fly (2:03.51), while swimming on the first-place 400 medley relay (3:59.10). Junior Kelly Roche (Redding, CA) and freshman Allyson Parent (Glen Falls, NY) both achieved BIG EAST A qualifying times in victory, with Roche winning the 200 free (1:53.03) and Parent taking the 200 back (2:06.08). Freshman Sarah Gault (Chateauguay, Quebec) was a double-winner as she won the 50 (24:39) and 100 free (52.91), while qualifying for the BIG EAST Championship in both events.
In diving, senior Jared Bench (West Babylon, NY) won both the one (289.35) and three-meter (294.60) events for the men. On the women's side, freshman Sharon Fish (Northbrook, IL) began her career by winning the one-meter (245.47) and qualifying for the BIG EAST Championship. Senior Kelly Gerhardstein (Sandusky, OH) took first on the three-meter board (253.80).
The men and women will continue BIG EAST competition when they travel to Storrs, CT, for a duel meet against UConn on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 1:00 p.m. RESULTS

If your sister has or has had breast cancer, you may want to join a new national research project, which will look at the impact of genetics and the environment on the development of the disease. Since sisters have both share genetics and lived in the same environment as children, scientists will try to tease out the cause of breast cancer in the unlucky sister.
The study will last 10 years and volunteers will be asked to donate blood urine, toenails, and even house dust. To participate in the study, women must be between 35 and 74, and have a sister, living or dead who has or has had breast cancer.
The 'Sister Study' will be conducted buy the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). They hope to enroll 50,000 women in this largest study of its kind.

If you happen to be one of the 130,000 women diagnosed this year with early breast stage cancer, there is some help now on making that all important decision-should you have a lumpectomy or a mastectomy.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has put together a 21 page brochure to help you choose between the two forms of surgery. The two surgeries offer the same rate of survival (70% living after 10 years) but there is a higher risk of redevelopment of with the lumpectomy.
Women who have mastectomies do not necessarily live longer. This is because of the difference in the nature of tumors. Some are slow growing while others kill even if detected early.
Women who have lumpectomies are advised to have radiation treatments. This is another reason some women opt for mastectomies. In the United States, 56% of women still have mastectomies. In England, the rate is 31% and in France, it is 28%.
Some experts in the U.S. feel that the mastectomy rate is too high in the U.S. To help with all these discrepancies, the brochure, "Surgery choices for Women with Early Breast Cancer," has been developed.
It is available by calling 1-800-4 CANCER (422-6237) or through the NCI website at www.nci.nih.gov.
Finally, good news for post menopausal women. A new study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine finds that while it is not for everyone, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may actually prolong a younger woman's life.
It is a matter of weighing the benefits against the risks and making individual decisions. This may be very good news for women who have severe menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, and were hesitant to take HRT because of earlier negative findings.
