Just A KissI sit on the counter top and I look at him from across the kitchen. He smiles that knowing smile, with that hint of shyness as he looks me in the eye. I bite the edge of my lip slightly, but still maintain my stare. As he walks towards me, I feel that familiar heat below, making me feel vulnerable to his mutual desire. When he reaches me, he doesn't hold back. He puts his fingers through my hair and then grabs a fist full with both hands, pulling me to him. His lips push mine open for his tongue to mingle with mine. I spread my legs to fit his body between them, wrapping them around him to pull him closer.
That's all I want. Just a kiss. Is that too much to ask?
And that fro the sam e peopel wo gave us "The lumberjack song"! I agree. A kiss, sweet, deliver sweetly and at just the right moment can open the doors to passion for both .
Who could possibly turn down THAT request
Clever guy ;)
Very Sexy. I'd love to be on that same receiving end.
Oh my, Terra, your story touched a cord deep inside me. I have lived that moment so many times, just craving his kiss, longing for it, feeling so very hungry and needy. Warm Kisses.
i can give you that,,,,
so romantic
meri abhi tak koi girl friend hi nhi he jo hame iske bare me abhi expiryanc nhi he ke kitna maza ata he agar koi girl friend mili to ham dono yha ayge ok
That is a great short story. Lots of erotica.
Kiss is a silent message :)
I often kiss my GF like that. passionatly.
Hot and sensual. Love it! That's how every kiss should be.
amazing,please write more
Now that was amazing. You just made me long for my BF.
Now that's a kiss ;)
Wow!!!! I am excited to hear some women still enjoy being kissed. My wife has not been receptive to my kiss in years. I wish I could generate that passion in my marriage. Thanks for sharing.
...haven't been kissed like this...well...god knows how long...
Wow, sends some blood flowing in the right direction. ;-)
Oh my god, this kind of kiss made me drool.^^

6 Random Things…
Spring Colors
I'm starting to break out the spring inspired nail polishes again. Shade of aqua, like breezy days relaxing at the beach. When it's not aqua it's coral. Speaking of, who's seen the beautiful colors of the new OPI Brazil collection? I just got my order and am so smitten with the colors and formula.
…and on the Spring theme…
Spring Cleaning
I cleaned my entire house this weekend. Top to bottom, front door to attic (just kidding, I don't go in the attic. Spiders live up there). You get the point. I made a list for each room on Friday night, and plowed through it starting on Saturday and finished the biggest problem areas, like the kitchen, on Sunday. Not the most exciting way to sped a weekend, but it feels amazing to have a clean house. I also took care of a few random house chores, like installing a Carbon Monoxide detector, swapping out a few door bumpers, and replacing a toilet seat (never thought I'd actually have to know how to do that…joys of being a homeowner).
The challenge now is to keep the place looking great all the time instead of having to do this type of cleaning again anytime soon. I put together a schedule to quick hit every room in the house twice a month to keep on top of things. I think I could do a quick 15-20 minute cleanup each day in the scheduled room, and keep on top of things. Quick cleanup would be dust, vacuum, pick up lose items, counters/toilets, fix any small issues.
How do you guys tackle cleaning, do you keep any type of schedule/plan? Or do you do Super Cleaning weekends every few months?
The Schedule:
(1st/16th) Foyer/Entry
(2nd/17th) Den/Workout Area
(3rd/18th) Downstairs Bathroom
(4th/19th) Yard/Porch
(5th/20th) Garage
(6th/21st) Dining Room
(7th/22nd) Powder Room
(8th/23rd) Living Room
(9th/24th) Kitchen
(10th/25th) Office
(11th/26th) Spare Bedroom
(12th/27th) Spare Bathroom
(13th/28th) Laundry
(14th/29th) Master Bedroom
(15th/30th) Master Bathroom/Closet
It's only been in the past few years that I've experienced overwhelming anxiety, but much longer that I've been drowning in stress. Some days are worse than others, of course. I came across an article on Greatist.com this week and I really enjoyed it, 15 Ways to Beat Anxiety Now. If you deal with anxiety or high stress, you may enjoy this article as well.
Natural Beauty
In the past I've always been a fan of technologically advanced beauty, but more and more, I've transitioning to a more natural beauty regimen. I still use non-natural brands and products, but I strongly believe that when you know better you do better. So I've started to embrace brands like Shea Terra, and Stark Skincare.
I've also started experimenting with making some at home beauty products. So far my favorite thing is washing my face with honey! Amazing results & easy to make, and customize, at home. I'll probably do a separate post on this in the future.
Recent Reads
I finished the sometimes daughter by Sherri Wood Emmons last week. It's the story of a girl born at Woodstock and her relationship with her mom and family as she grows into her teens. It's a fairly simple story of watching a young girl grow up in the 60/70's and experiencing her personal/family struggles. If you enjoy getting a glimpse into someone else's family life (we're all a little voyeuristic, right?), then you'll probably like this.
Puppy Love
I've been struggling a bit with my pup recently. He's been having some mobility issues with his back leg. It always seems to be prompted by rough/wild playing, or a long day outdoors so I'm fairly certain it's muscle strains. However, I think he is also developing some arthritis due to the extra weight he carries around. I'm having to adjust his food and add some supplements in hope of bringing him some natural relief without going to prescription pain killers. He'll be seen by our vet in a few weeks for a checkup, fingers crossed, I've finally found the best nutrition plan for my little one. It's so hard to see him struggle when I know he really wants to run through a dog park or splash at the dog beach. I hope we can get back to that soon.
If your pup has had similar issues, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Alright, I'm off to collapse onto the couch and relax after all that cleaning. I hope you all had a great weekend!
The Love List
With my little disappearance act from the blog recently, I never did a proper New Year post. Don't worry, I'm not going to launch into a recap of 2013…no need. It can pretty much be summed up in 4 words…Work, Jury Duty, Vacation. That covers a majority of the yearly highlights, sadly nothing else too extraordinary. I struggled with massive amounts of anxiety & stress last year which was a challenge, but I'm working to turn all that around this year.
I have a feeling that 2014 is going to be a good one.
Instead of doing New Year's Resolutions this year, or planning any major goals to overcome, I decided to go a different direction. I created a Love List.
One day, I was feeling particularly burned out and 'blah', so I grabbed some paper & pen, and scribble down 25 things that I love. They are very general, and I didn't mean for it to be too specific. I wanted to create a list of things that I love, thing that brought me joy in life. I've posted the list below. You'll notice that some are incredibly general. I did that purposely so that I could find all the bits of joy within that 'love' item.
For example… #23 is Travel. General, right? I could have clarified that I wanted to travel overseas or to a specific country, and I do. But overall I simply love travelling. I can't afford to do it often, but I love it. So it's on the list. The goal will be to find ways to 'travel' in my area when I can't afford to go far.
So what's the point?
The point of creating this list was to help me see the beauty around me on the tough days. On those days that seem to break me down, I can grab this list, pick a number and do something I love. Maybe it will be to curl up with a good book, or hop in the car with my pup and go to the beach, or add something new to the garden…hell, sometimes it will simply to be sit down and listen to the sound of the rain (check out Rainymood.com. It's just the sound of the rain, INCREDIBLE).
I should also say that this is not EVERYTHING that I love. This is the first 25 that popped into my head. I'm sure the list could go on and on…
These are in no particular order…
The Love List
- Beauty, Skincare, Makeup, Nails
- Baxter, Dogs & Animals, helping animals
- Photography, Black & White Photos, SLR Cameras
- Writing Stories
- Blogging
- Organization & Planning
- Home Decor & Interior Design
- DIY, Craft Projects, Building Things
- Healthy Living, Detox my Life (in all different ways)
- Cooking
- Bargain Shopping/Hunting
- Dancing
- Yoga
- The Beach
- Meditation & Self Hypnosis
- The Sound of the Rain
- Green Living, Learning to be Environmentally Conscious
- Growing my own food
- Reading
- Family & Friends
- Journaling,Creating Photo Look-books
- Travel
- Art, String Art, Painting
- Learning, Continuing Education, School
The Challenge is to pick several of these a week and make sure that I'm spending time doing things that I love. Sometimes with the 'busy-ness' that is life, it's hard to find those happy moments. This is just one way that I'm trying to incorporate more HAPPY into my life this year.
What is on your Love List?
Words of Wisdom…
Don't let the bad days break you…
Beauty Talk #2
My favorite recent beauty tip involves a way to turn a steamy shower into a aromatherapy experience. It's very simple, and completely customizable to your mood.
For a spa like shower, mix a few drops of essential oil with water in a spray bottle. Spritz into a steamy shower before you step in, and enjoy the aromatherapy. You can mix a variety of oils to create a scent you love. Citrus & Mint is great for an uplifting morning shower, Eucalyptus if you're feeling sick, Lavender & Chamomile are excellent for relaxing in the evening. Maybe try a little Neroli or Rose before date night ;) Mix, Spritz, Enjoy!
I created a lovely mix of Peppermint and Vanilla recently. It's an amazing pick me up in the morning.
In other beauty news lately…these are a few insta-posts from the last few weeks! You can read the specifics of each picture over at Instagram!
[Soaked] Cinnamon Almonds
I have the most delicious (and nutritious) treat to share with you today, and it's ridiculously simple to make. I'm constantly on the look out for ways to make everyday foods/meals healthier, and I'm always excited to find quick & healthy snacks.
Many already know that Almonds (in moderation) are an nutrient dense food that can greatly benefit a healthy diet. The contain protein, fiber, and omega fatty acids just to name a few of their many nutrition stats. However, something I learned from researching raw food diets, is that you really aren't getting the most out of your almonds if you eat them dry. Soaking the almonds first (generally overnight) will make them easier to digest, thus allowing the body to better absorb all the nutrients.
The information below is from the Food Matters Website, and was included in an excellent article about The Benefits of Soaking Nuts and Seeds. Be sure to check it out if you want more information, it touches on more than just almonds.
Why soak nuts, grains and seeds?
- 1. To remove or reduce phytic acid.
- 2. To remove or reduce tannins.
- 3. To neutralize the enzyme inhibitors.
- 4. To encourage the production of beneficial enzymes.
- 5. To increase the amounts of vitamins, especially B vitamins.
- 6. To break down gluten and make digestion easier.
- 7. To make the proteins more readily available for absorption.
- 8. To prevent mineral deficiencies and bone loss.
- 9. To help neutralize toxins in the colon and keep the colon clean.
- 10. To prevent many health diseases and conditions.
In my opinion, Almonds are much, MUCH tastier this way as well. As an extra health bonus, I dusted them with ground cinnamon which has its own host of health benefits. Notice I said just ground cinnamon, not cinnamon sugar. You could also use raw cacao, a little chipotle, or another spice that you prefer.
Get Creative!
The visual difference between dry almonds (left) and soaked almonds (right). The soaked almonds will have a softer texture, but will still have a crunch to it. If you avoided almonds in the past because you disliked the 'jaw breaking crunch', give them another chance after soaking.
The recipe is simple, and there are NO specific measurements needed. Just put a serving of raw (not roasted or seasoned) almonds in a sealable container. A plastic bag will work just fine, but I prefer to use something with a lid. Cover the almonds with water and place in fridge overnight (or for about 12 hours). In the morning, drain and rise the almonds. At this point they are ready to eat, or season them.
Add your spices. I added about 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to 1/2 Cup of almonds.
You can keep uneaten, soaked almonds in the fridge for about 24-48 hours before they will begin to mold. Since they don't have a long shelf life, you should avoid making large batches unless you know they will be eaten right away. Unfortunately this isn't something you can make on Sunday, and eat throughout the week.
For those that would like the health benefits of a soaked almond, but prefer the dry texture, you can dry them in a dehydrator for longer term storage.
I'd love to know if any of you have tried this method, or if you try this recipe. What other seasonings have you used?
*I have purposely tried to not use the phrase, 'soak your nuts' in this post, because…well…I'd like to avoid the pervy Google Spam Bots. But let's face it, that's exactly what I want you to do from now on…soak your nuts people!
**I also apologize for the inconsistent lighting in the photographs. It's driving me crazy too.
Words of Wisdom…
'Normal' is overrated…
Beauty Talk #1
Having been gone from this blog for so long, has not only been upsetting for me (I miss this space!), but also a bit daunting. I've sat down multiple times to write a 'I'm back' post and I couldn't figure out what to say. I'm sure that's not an uncommon feeling for bloggers that have to take a break away from the web. Sometimes the words just don't flow so well…
I don't have any extraordinary reason as to why I stopped blogging lately. Life and work have been overwhelming (we're going through layoffs again), and I honestly didn't feel like I had anything interesting to share. I hadn't completed many projects around the house and I wasn't trying any new recipes. Life felt more than a little boring. So, instead of boring you with the mundane catch up…let's just move on, shall we? In the past few weeks I've been getting back into home projects and I have a few fun crafts planned. I've redone the backyard grass planters which I'll post about soon. That post will answer the multitude of questions that have been emailed to me about the project. I never knew so many of you would benefit from a 'growing grass on concrete' project, so hopefully that future post will answer some of your questions. Click here if you have no idea what I'm talking about. I've also made some progress on the office and made a few other tweaks around the house. More on that soon…
One fun thing I've done lately (blogging wise) is start up a new Instagram account. I've mentioned my love of beauty, makeup, skincare on the blog in the past. I've even done a few monthly favorite posts, but I wasn't thrilled with those. Instead I've started up a dedicated beauty Instagram account where I can chat all things beauty, share my likes (and dislikes), etc. For anyone that wants to follow me, you can find me @evolovelybeauty. For the blog, I thought I'd share a recap from time to time along with any of my favorite posts/tips.
So today, is a little weekly beauty recap and a recipe!
My favorite post of the week was sharing how I start my day, detox style. Each morning I get up and make the drink below while the pup is eating. I drink this along with a probiotic capsule, then wait 30-60 minutes before eating. I started doing this in September and have seen a dramatic difference in my skin since doing so. I used to get hormonal cystic acne regularly and that has completely cleared up. I have not had a single cystic spot since drinking this at the start of my day. My skin is brighter, clearer, and overall I just feel better. My mom also drinks this and has seen a big difference as well.
I created this recipe using other detox drinks as a guide. You have probably heard of people drinking hot water with lemon, or taking a Ginger Bomb. This is essentially a combination of those drinks. It's something that works for me.
Morning Detox Drink:
If you're not used to drinking Apple Cider Vinegar, this can take some getting used to. Thanks to the other ingredients, it's not overwhelmingly strong in this drink. You can alter the amount of water you use while you get used to the taste. Add more in the beginning if you need to, just be sure to drink the whole thing.
The Basics
1-2 Cups Water (I prefer hot, like for tea…but you can also drink this iced/cold if you prefer the taste that way)
1 Tablespoon Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Raw Organic Honey
Juice of 1/2 a fresh Lime (you can also use a lemon, I just prefer the lime)
Add all ingredients, stir and drink. I prefer to drink with a straw, and while I don't chug it, I do drink it all rather quickly. It's not something I like to sip on…you get the point.
Give it the best ability to absorb by not eating for 30-60 minutes after you finish the drink.
The Optional Additions:
After I had been drinking the above for about 2 months, I started adding the below. You may choose to skip these, or maybe you prefer to add them from the start. I'll leave that to your discretion. Please note that with all the ingredients, do your own research (or talk to your doctor) to find out if these ingredients would be beneficial to you.
1/8 teaspoon of Ground Turmeric (I'm slowing adding more over time, it's a strong taste)
1/8 teaspoon Ground Ginger (I'll probably slowly up this amount over time as well)
The other 1/2 of fresh lime (so that you are juicing the entire lime into you drink each morning)
Mix well and drink.
Like a lot of super healthy things, I don't always jump out of bed excited to drink this. But more often than not, I crave it. I've seen such a dramatic difference in my health (and particularly my skin), that I don't really want to give it up.
In other beauty news lately…these are a few insta-posts from the last week! You can read the specifics of each picture over at Instagram!
Words of Wisdom
Vacation – Part II
In Part I of the vacation recap, I promised you beach photos. I had so many from the entire trip that I just pulled a few of my favorites into a single post. I took a morning walk nearly every day and a sunset walk many evenings. The beauty of Isle of Palms, SC left me speechless. In fact, I'll let the photos do the talking and I'll be back with Part III tomorrow to share our Savannah, GA adventure and a few other things.

Depression (cont.)
There is little research on whether you can prevent a first bout of depression. But several studies suggest that exercise may help prevent a first bout of depression.2, 3 Exercise also may help prevent depression from coming back (relapse) and may improve symptoms of mild depression.2, 3
If you worry about getting depression, talk to your doctor. Regular screening for depression helps find depression early, and early treatment may help you get better faster.
You also may be able to prevent depression by avoiding alcohol and drugs. Alcohol and drugs can trigger depression. And using them is often a sign that you have depression.
Preventing depression from coming back

This is my bike, a Suzuki Bandit 1200. I bought it off a mate three years ago and instantly went about changing it. The latest change is the paint job. I think it looks ok and it gets lots of admiring looks. The best parts about it, in my opinion, are the back end, which I chopped off, and the twin high level exhausts, which sound ...

2013 Chevrolet Onix. The Chevrolet presented at the Salone di San Paolo a new model of compact hatchback is 2013 Chevrolet Onix. Based on the architecture of small GM, the new Chevrolet was, however, designed in its entirety by the local branch, General Motors do Brasil.
Rich inside. 2013 Chevrolet Onix, in many respects, is a product that can be defined mature: the small Chevrolet is not put forward as the "usual" car for emerging markets, very practical but a bit 'poor. In contrast, the U.S. House has focused strongly on issues such as connectivity and customization options.
Of course flexfuel. New 2013 Chevrolet Onix compact is produced in the complex Gravataí in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and will go on sale in November. The range will consist of two engines flexfuel petrol-ethanol, a 1.0 and a 1.4, mated to a manual five-speed manual or – on request – to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Technological equipment. Among the goodies "hi-tech" which did mention, there has been Bluetooth connectivity and the presence of the Chevrolet MyLink system, infotainment device that displays on the LCD screen 7 "songs, photos, videos and apps from phone. Available in three trim levels LS, LT and LTZ, the Onix can be personalized with three corresponding lines of adhesives, Joy, Race and 24 Hours. 2013 Chevrolet Onix.

Auslogics Duplicate File Finder (440 comments)
I recently ran into the same problem you are having, just on a lesser scale. The program I had the best success with was Auslogics Duplicate File Finder .
It includes two options that I absolutely needed: Ignore File Names and Ignore File Dates. I'm pretty sure those were off by default, so check that if you try this. Considering I knew that I had done the same thing you are describing, and even renamed some files in the process, I really needed those options otherwise it would not have found the dupes.
I was paranoid there would be false positives, so I did a quick test on a select few folders. It worked perfectly, so I let it run... then blindly allowed it to do its thing in the last step and delete duplicates. I found about 600GB of dupes out of 3TB, and it took less than a few hours to run.

Re:Misunderstanding of intent (220 comments)
The likelihood of survival decreases if idiots are playing on their toys and not paying attention.
Does the statement "and nothing of value was lost" apply here?
On a more topic-related note, the flight crew does not need to have attention from 100% of the passengers. Likely they would need less than 50% and hopefully at least 1-2 per row. If you are sitting there, completely not paying attention, and you don't notice the flight attendants waving their arms and shouting instructions, you will probably notice the person next to you flinging themselves forward and putting their head between their knees.
While I understand your point that the chances of survival increase if people are paying attention to authority figures / those in-the-know and actually listen to their instructions, it is naive to believe that just because someone isn't playing with some toy that they are actually paying attention. There are those that will be daydreaming out the window, dozing off or engaged in some conversation with their travel companion.
It makes sense for people to read the instructions in the seat-back pocket at least once in their life. It makes sense for people to actually listen to the flight attendants during their overview of safety procedures at least once in their life. And it makes sense for people to actually be aware of their surroundings, to at least know that something is not right and that they should seek out someone that might be able to help them (i.e. flight crew)...
In the end, no matter how many things we ban or how many rules we impose on having to pay attention, there will always be some people that will be over-prepared in a crisis and those that are under-prepared. If some crisis happens, I just hope I'm sitting next to an over-prepared person who notices I'm asleep and nudges me awake. Thank you in advance, fictional person!

Re:What could possibly go wrong? (178 comments)
This is the exact reason why certain organizations (i.e. military) do not use "normal" english terms as you may figure they might when performing certain actions. There are a series of checks and "over"'s and confirmations that are done. But, I get your point. It will be interesting to see how they handle punctuation and pausing because, as you pointed out, it can have a significant effect on the meaning of a phrase.
Re:Yeah, that's a big WTF... (275 comments)
The full sentence from the article:
We initially left the choice of using it up to you because there's a downside: https can make your mail slower since encrypted data doesn't travel across the web as quickly as unencrypted data.
Any analysis of this really is pedantic, but fundamentally the statement is still accurate.
If you consider the same set of data, encrypted winds up being larger than unencrypted, so, technically, it would take longer to fully complete its journey (i.e. travel)... They didn't say that encrypted data transmits slower through the tubes of the interwebs, they just said that it "doesn't travel across the web as quickly".
I think their wording is fine. The "crypo-illiterate" public read it most likely said "Oh, yea, makes sense, so that's why they didn't do it to begin with..." and those that do notice something odd with the wording already know the true meaning anyway.
Besides, your suggested re-wording is not without its faults. You say to make it:
But wouldn't "accessing web pages with HTTPS is typically slower than with HTTP" convey exactly the same information to the public, except for the wrong part?
(crypo-illiterate response) So, wait, when I visit a page that has https:/// in front of it my internet connection suddenly slows down?! I'm going to avoid those pages at all costs and any time I have the option, I will disable it!

Social skills abound! (655 comments)
While this person must have spent a great many hours accomplishing this goal, it may be a little unfair for us to infer that he has little to no social skills or "life"...
He needs a guild or a bunch of "friends" behind him to accomplish a great many of these achievements. Even if he is in a huge guild that is defeating the most difficult end-game content, at some point there are going to be achievements that others are going to set out to do specifically and entirely for him (and maybe some others that luckily get to tag along)... The amount of achievements in this category is probably about 100-150 whereas the others are either able to be done solo or will just happen in any decent group.
So, he befriended his guild or his group of online friends, with or without their knowledge, to help him get to this end-goal.
We can even go further into specifics and say that the Quests completion may be more of an accomplishment than the Achievements completion. It is very easy to do about 3500-4000 of the quests in the game without any help, but beyond that there are chains that need help for sure. These hurdle quests don't make up the next 2000, probably only 100 or 200, but he still needs a group that he can call on whenever he hits that wall. Also remember those people may have already done the quest in some cases and are getting absolutely nothing out of it. In the case of achievements, at least there are a bunch of people (5-25) that are going to get that achievement credit if they haven't already.
Actually, I think this guy may have more social skills than most...
Re:Possibly, but unlikely (79 comments)
Wrong. Wheelchair-bound people unwilling to sacrifice a small part of their dignity cannot access the building on their own. It is totally possible for most of them to scoot up and down steps on their arse.
Assuming they do get off their wheelchair, and "scoot" up a few steps like you suggest, then what? Does their wheelchair magically do the same thing and then they continue on their journey into the building?
Re:national security (364 comments)
Admittedly I was exaggerating, but I didn't imply that he said was lobbying for a coast to coast vote.
As far as advocating requiring state ratification for treaties, where is the line drawn? That line is determined by the people that don't want to move the line, unfortunately.
But, then you vote people in that hopefully change that.
In the article:
In one of his first acts as president, Obama signed a memo saying FOIA "should be administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails. The government should not keep information confidential merely because public officials might be embarrassed by disclosure."
That would be a step in the right direction, if it had any teeth to it, and wasn't just to make Obama look good to the general public.
Maybe true reform will come some day.
Re:national security (364 comments)
I understand that your solution makes sense to you and perhaps to some others, but in reality it really is not that great of a solution, and it is certainly not obvious as you noted. Not only would that never happen, but the issues would quickly pile up and the situation spin out of control where uninformed people were voting and making decisions that they really have no business making.
I'm not a fan of big government or of having a small percentage of people making decisions that effect everyone else, but that is exactly how our system is setup and exactly how democracy works in practice.
The government can, will, and should make decisions without the consent of the governed. You think it takes long now to get things done? If all the state legislatures had to put their $0.02 in even less would get done. Then city officials would start saying their view is important, too. Soon everyone would be saying their voice should make a difference! If only there was a system in place to have each person's voice heard...
The single most powerful tool that Americans have is the power to VOTE. Unfortunately most Americans do not invoke this power because they feel it is useless. Maybe so, but at least those that made bad decisions will be gone in at most a few years anyway, then. If it is really a big issue then there is always impeachment, but to start tying hands up at that level and incorporate more chefs in the already crowded, trip-hazard-filled, hot, sweaty, mess of a kitchen we call our government, well, that would just be making a bad problem even worse.
Most human beings (and all politicians) fundamentally will try to get away with anything they can. Whether it is a spouse cheating or a student copying answers during a test, until someone is caught doing something they know is wrong (however it is you define "wrong" is up to you) they will not stop the behavior.
No one does anything they think is wrong. Even if society deems it to be wrong, they somehow have convinced themselves it is right, because it is necessary, or it is okay "this one time"... The government, as a whole, or as a local office, is not exempt from this. They become their own "person" in this regard, acting in such a way that for whatever reason they think is right.
When it boils down to it, we are better off having that few % making decisions for us than to give each and every person from coast to coast a voice by way of vote for big decisions.

Re:speed is everything? (532 comments)
Well that's obviously because this is a biased community, but when attempting to look at this objectively you quickly see other reasons.
Every browser has issues, IE has more than most, and it should be focusing on other areas rather than speed. The fact that they are focusing on speed and then mixing into their marketing how they care so much about security, which I hope everyone sees right through but I know they don't, just shows how misguided they are as a company trying to produce a product.
A web browser is the portal to the Internet and is the application that most people are using most of the time they sit at a computer. There are huge benefits to having that captive audience.
Microsoft, with all their money, "experience" and experts, should be dominating the market. This should not even be an issue! The fact that we even have news like this and browsers like FF and others keep creeping up and stealing market share just shows how poor of a product IE is.
There's a certain percentage of people that will always "go against The Man" (in this case IE) but the percentages are getting higher and higher because other browsers are being recognized as superior to IE, period.
The only reason that IE still has close to 70% market share is because some people just don't know any better, may be older and comfortable, have never been exposed to anything else, etc.
Before giving IE "a little bit of credit" think about if you were able to go door to door and install all the different popular browsers out there and have the person make their own choice.
Out of IE, FF, Safari, Chrome and Opera... how many people would honestly, HONESTLY, choose IE?
Lastly, imagine a necessary high blood pressure medicine that has the possible side effects of enhancing or causing asthma, explosive spontaneous diarrhea, yellowing of fingernails, or the possibility of raising blood pressure more.
Wouldn't a company be stupid to work on the yellowing of fingernails problem first?
Re:"Marketshare sets the standard" (532 comments)
You just leave off the drive-thru's cover and save yourself some money, or, if it's a necessity, you build it to 7' because I'm pretty sure that 5' can fit under that too.
Good point for sure. Just because 25% of some industry is doing things the right way, the way it should be done or the way of the future it ultimately still only means that 25% of the masses feel that way.
Obviously every browser has their issues and IE has more issues than most, but the one thing that IE still has over all the other browsers is that most every website designer, even if they use another browser, will load up their site in IE to see if it is displaying the way they want it to because they know 75% of the traffic coming to them will be IE users (unless you're Slashdot
The point is, aside from me speaking in generalities, I agree with you that although this new 25% on the scene is doing things more efficiently or "better" that they are still only 25%. The standard still has to go with the majority.
But, as the guy up there said, more and more people will be building separate websites and IE is making it harder for them, so they remove that difficulty from their design plans and instead just give IE users a stripped down version that takes them less time to produce.
Although you make a good point, pbhj, it kind of sounds like those that do that are cutting their nose off to spite their face. As a website owner, business owner, corporation, whatever, your job is to meet the needs of your customers.
I run a retail shop and I'm pretty sure it would not be good for me to put up a sign that says: If you're going to be a difficult customer and your transaction is not going to go exactly to plan, please don't bother making any purchase in this store. In fact, go across the street, I'm sure they'll deal with you.
Seriously? (224 comments)
Seriously? Is this what news has become? Alarmists are growing in numbers, it seems. TFA's title is even Game consoles 'cause skin sores' and has a PlayStation remote pictured. Now unless some chemical was used in the manufacturing of these remotes/consoles that causes this, that is such a misrepresentation... but hey, it got me to read it.
I have a theory of my own... And maybe I'll post an article and say that I discovered Clutchingson's Disease. She was just clutching onto the remote, squeezing, playing intensely, sweating, rubbing, probably getting scared (obligatory: because she's a girl) so half letting go of the remote due to being startled then grabbing again and causing herself extra rubbing/trauma.
The fact that she kept playing, in discomfort/pain, only shows that she has a bright future as a gamer and may even read this post a few years from now when she starts reading Slashdot and looks through some archives. Hi. How's your hands?
"This is an interesting discovery and one that the researchers are keen to share with other dermatologists, should they be confronted with similar, unexplained symptoms in a patient."
So, patient presents with sores on their palms. IANAD but I'm pretty sure the first thing they'd ask is "Whatcha been doing with your hands lately? Riding a bike?" and when the patient indicates they haven't been clutching onto handles the next question will be, "Well, have you been in contact with any chemicals, soaps, objects, anything out of the ordinary?" Now unless this is a male child, deformed (somehow), ya know "down there," and recently has become curious and is embarrassed to admit it, I'm pretty sure any other person, even a child, would be able to realize what they have been doing that has been out of the ordinary. I guess this is why they call it Idle... really shouldn't even be here, but, is. Worked out today, for me.
Re:Everlasting Sunlight of the Spot-Free Brain (320 comments)
What happens if we fight them and they have the same weapons? What if no human life was at risk? There have been movies (though I can't remember the specific names right now) spawned from this very topic. Remember the PC game MechWarrior doing something like this? That was a "fun game"...
I agree with you completely that each time a "horrible factor" is taken away from something horrible then it will some day cease to be horrible and begin to be tolerable. War should never get to the point of being tolerable. Most horrible things shouldn't ever get to that point. But, some should. It would be nice to erase some memories, but as you said, part of what make memories important is the pain they bring... or the elation.
But, what if this was used to remove debilitating memories? Ones such as sexual abuse or violence?
This opens up a whole big can of worms, for sure.
Would it really be so bad if we had full wars with robots that would decide things such as territory, technological rights, and so forth? If that does become the case, the United States loses its current "advantage".

I purchased two Donghia's in the mid '90's. While I can not claim mid-century status since in those days mid-century had not yet seen its wildly popular revival, I can claim an inherent attraction to the cool, understated lines which back then I described as more Asian/Japanese in its influence. While my coaches are a bit worn I would NEVER consider selling them and am about to embark on a reupohlstery project. If anyone knows a great reupholsterer your recomendation would be appreciated.

Satisfactory Progress Requirements
Students whose cumulative average is below 3.0 (all grades since entry into the graduate program, whether in courses for graduate credit or not) will be placed on academic probation for one semester. Students whose cumulative average is below 2.0 may be dropped from the graduate program without having a probationary period. Students on probation whose cumulative average is below 3.0 after the probationary semester will be dropped from the graduate program. For these purposes, a summer term is counted the same as a regular semester.
The ISE Department also considers 2 grades of D or F to be sufficient for dismissal. This applies to prerequisite courses as well as to those taken for graduate credit. A course grade below C does not provide any graduate credit but is included in the GPA. If a course is repeated to get a better grade, both grades count when computing the GPA.

Nikah 'urfi
|Part of a series on
|Islamic jurisprudence
|Islamic studies
Nikah 'urfi is a "customary" Sunni Muslim marriage contract that is not registered with state authorities. This form of marriage usually requires witnesses. Couples repeat the words, "We got married" and pledge commitment before God, although there are many other informal ways in which people marry `urfi. Usually a paper, stating that the two are married, is written and at least two witnesses sign it, although others may record their commitment on a cassette tape and use other forms of documentation. Most Arab countries do not recognize 'Urfi marriages and do not allow partners to get a 'legal' divorce since the government does not recognize the legality of the marriage in the first place. Sometimes these relationships are a way for people to have sex with each other within what is perceived to be a licit framework. Nevertheless, the relationship is often kept secret from family members and women often become pregnant but are unable to prove they are married or get a divorce.[1]
'Urfi (Arabic: عرفي) comes from the Arabic word 'Urf, which means custom, convention, or a customary act. Many Sunnis who adhere to the Ahle-Sunnath Wal Jamath and Sufi point of views have often criticized this practice, and have related it to prostitution. The term 'Nikah Misyar' has not been used as a legal term in historical Sunni jurisprudence, and is argued by many Sunnis to be something new that does not fit in within the Sunni tradition.
In its modern context, 'Urfi is used to connote something that is different from official state ceremony or procedure. Thus a Nikah 'urfi' in an Islamic state may denote something similar to a common-law marriage in the west, while in some countries, such as Egypt, a Nikah 'Urfi is a marriage that takes place without the public approval of the bride's guardians, even though the contract is officiated by a religious cleric and sometimes by a state representative.
Legal issues[edit]
There are three criteria for defining legal issues in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh):
- Shari : something that is clearly defined in the shariah.
- 'Urfi : conventional or common tradition. An 'Urfi definition is acceptable to the common people without any scientific or shari precision.
- Ilmi : a definition presented by science.
If the shariah defines something, all Muslims must follow that definition. If the shariah is silent on an issue, Muslims should follow the 'Urfi definition.[2]
The 'Urfi marriage has always existed, but for different reasons.[citation needed]
In the past, it was common among the widows of soldiers who had huge pensions and they did not want to lose it by officially remarrying. Now, however, it is mostly among university students and young couples who cannot afford the high cost of marriage.[citation needed]
Undocumented 'Urfi marriages are increasingly popular among Egyptian youth. The high cost of marriage forces many young couples to wait several years before they marry. Conservative Egyptian society forbids sex before marriage, so many young people consider the 'Urfi marriage a solution. 'Urfi marriages are conducted by a Muslim cleric in the presence of two witnesses. However, they are not officially registered and are not legally financially binding on the man. Couples married in this way often meet in secret and avoid the expense of renting an apartment. The 'Urfi marriage can be disastrous for the wife in legal terms. If the husband leaves her without granting her a divorce, she had no legal right to seek a divorce since 'Urfi marriage is considered illegal. Her husband could remarry. The wife is in a more difficult position. If the wife remarries, she can be accused of polyandry, which is punishable by seven years in prison in Egypt, or she could remain single for the rest of her life.[citation needed]
The new Egyptian law (passed in 2000) recognizes the woman's right to seek divorce from an 'Urfi marriage. However, the law denies her alimony and child support.[citation needed]
There are also controversial, unofficial "'Urfi" marriages, where a couple signs documents declaring themselves married. The couple does not inform their families of the marriage. Many Egyptian clerics are against this type of 'Urfi marriage calling it a cover for pre-marital sex.[citation needed]
An extreme form of 'Urfi marriage is known as zawag al-'urfi: to give prostitution an Islamic cover, some women enter into secret marriage contracts with their summer visitors. Known in Egypt as zawag al-'urfi, this contract is made without witnesses and typically ends in divorce by summer's end. Most of Egypt's Islamic scholars condemn this use of zawag al-'urfi.[citation needed]
Sunni view[edit]
In the Islamic law (Sharia) all marriages are done with two witnesses, a guardian of the female (under normal circumstances it would be the father) and there is no need for any written or verbal contract of the type mentioned in this article for the marriage at all, except if the woman wishes then she can set conditions for her husband (none of which must be against Islam in any way). The part of a contract of marriage that is absolutely necessary is that it is agreed to by the man and the woman to be married and whether it is verbal or written makes no difference, hence the witnesses. The additional requirement is mahr to be paid by the man to the woman; this marriage gift may be in fiscal form (money, gold etc.) or chattel (goods, clothes etc.) or may be promissory payment at future date or in the event of husband divorcing the wife by talaq. Hence it can be seen that it also fulfils what any Western lawyer knows are the three requirements of a contract, i.e. offer, acceptance and consideration (money).[citation needed]
With regard to " 'urfi marriage" – there are two types of this:[citation needed]
1 – Where the woman is married in secret, without the agreement of her wali (guardian). If that is the case then it is a haraam marriage contract which is not valid, because the agreement of the wali is one of the conditions of the marriage contract being valid. وعن أبي موسى قال : قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : " لا نكاح إلا بولي " .[citation needed]
It was narrated that Abu Moosa said: Muhammad said: "There is no marriage without a guardian." (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1101; Abu Dawood, 2085; Ibn Maajah, 1881. )[citation needed]
It was narrated that 'Aa'ishah said: Muhammad said: Any woman who gets married without the permission of her guardian, بغير إذن وليها فنكاحها باطل فنكاحها باطل ، فنكاحها باطل her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. But if the marriage is consummated then the mehr is hers because she has allowed him to be intimate with her. If they dispute, then the ruler is the guardian of the one who has no guardian."[citation needed] (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1102; Abu Dawood, 2083; Ibn Maajah, 1879. )[citation needed]
2 – It should also be noted that some of the fuqaha' say that publicizing the marriage is one of the conditions of it being valid, which is not far from the truth; again comparable to Western requirements of traditional Judeo-Christian marriages.[citation needed]
Publicizing the marriage demonstrates the difference between marriage and immoral relationships. This is supported by the words of Prophet Muhammad: "The difference between what is halaal and what is haraam is beating the daff and raising the voice at weddings." Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1088; al-Nasaa'i, 3369; Ibn Maajah, 1896; (i.e. pulicity of marriage is essential - it can not be clandestine).[citation needed] Ibn al-Qayyim said:[citation needed] The Lawgiver has stipulated four conditions for marriage in addition to the marriage contract, in order for there to be no suspicion of immoral conduct: it should be publicized, there should be a wali (woman's guardian), the woman should not do the marriage contract herself and it is mustahabb to beat the daff and raise voices (in song) and give a walima (wedding feast), because that does away with the means that may lead to immoral actions under the guise of being married.[citation needed]

Chapter 80 Reviews
You're at your house waiting for Marshall to come over so you can head over to Meleah's birthday party. Its almost 1 and he should be arriving at your place in a few minutes. "Jake!" you yell upstairs to your son who still hasn't come down.
"Im coming, chill," he says somewhat annoyed as he comes downstairs and sits next to you on the couch. About a minute later the door bell rings. "Come in!" Jake yells practically right in your ear you sort of flinch. Marshall walks in holding a big box, you give him a smile, he looks at you like hes nervous.
"You ok?" you ask.
"Sure… just a bit nervous about meeting this Meleah," he says.
"She'll be fine… don't worry about it," you say.
"I just don't feel like being attacked by crazy teenagers," he says.
"Don't worry, its only one," you say with a smirk. He just stares at you like hes mad but hes not.
"Anyway, lets go," he says. You smile then head out the door.
You're having your party playin Eminem, Bruce is actually in a good mood, hes making burgers and brats. Your standing on the sidewalk watching Bruce make some burgers. When you hear people walking up the sidewalk, you look over and you cannot believe who you see. Your eyes widen, your eyes start to water, you get this dorky grin on your face, and your jaw drops, you just stare down the sidewalk. "ohh.." you say crying now.
"Hey Meleah happy birthday," Abby says to you, you ignore her and just stare over at Eminem. "Ok, I'll just go inside," she says and walks away, Jake follows her and so does Hailie. Bruce stops and looks over….
"Who are you?" he asks.
"….Mar…." he starts.
"His name is Eminem you dumb ass!" you yell at Bruce before Eminem can even introduce himself.
"Marshall," he says correcting you.
"Sorry," you say staring at him in awe… He stands there for a second.
"You're not Eminem," Bruce says.
"Yeah, I am," he says. "Want a beer?" he asks.
"I don't drink," Marshall says. You glare at Bruce then look back at Eminem.
'Can I hug you?" you ask like a child. Bruce walks into the house.
"Sure," he says. You immediately grab on to him and hug him tight.
"Heeeeeeeeeeehehe," you say still crying.
"Uh…" he says.
"Oh sorry," you say as you both let go of each other. "Im Meleah," you say.
"I figured. Happy birthday," he says with a cute smile which makes your smile get even bigger.
"Thank you," you say. He smiles then hands you a big box. "Whats this?" you ask trying to hold on to his huge box that is about the height of a small child and its heavy.
"A gift," he says.
"Oh, I don't need one, meeting you is good enough," you say. He shakes his head.
"That's from me, Abby brought me as a give to you, you can say, you know what Im sayin," he asks. This makes you giggle. "Go ahead open it," he says. Megan walks outside.
"Hey?" she says confused pointing to Marshall.
"Hello," he says looking over at Megan.
"Hi," she says with a smile. "Im Megan," she says then hugs him. You give her a fake glare. "Whats with the big box?" Megan asks.
"Meleahs present," Marshall says. "I told her to open it," he says.
"Ok me open present now," you say like a child. You rip open the paper and your eyes widen, he got you DJ Hero Renegade edition, and it hasn't even come out yet. "Oh my gosh yey!!!" you yell. Then grab onto Marshall again.
A few hours later of listening to music, talking and playing video games, eating food and being crazy. You go find Marshall whos in the kitchen. "Hey," you say.
"Hey," he says.
"Having fun?" you ask.
"Yeah, sure," he says.
"Can I ask you something?" you ask.
"Sure?" he says like a question.
"Sense its my birthday and I really love you, could I… uh… kiss," you say. He looks at you funny. You just stare at him sort of embarrassed.
"I guess," he says then kisses you on the cheek.
"No, I meant a real kiss," you say sort of disappointed. He just shrugs, he leans and kisses you on the lips, you kiss back, then theres a flash. You stop and stare at Megan whose holding a camera and laughing. "Megan!" you yell at her.
"What? Its cute," she says. Marshall stands there for a second… then you turn to look at the pic, you look back up and hes not in the room.
"See what you did?" you yell at Megan jokingly. She laughs then follows you out of the room.
The party ends…. Everyone is leaving but Megan. You talk to Marshall before he leaves. "Thanks for coming even though you didn't have to," you say.
"No problem," he says. "Gimmie your phone for a minute," he says. You hand him your phone with a smile. "Heres my number, you can call or text me if that Bruce guy is bein an ass," he says.
"How'd you know he was an ass?" you ask.
"Abby told me a bit about you," he says.
"Oh, ok," you say. He smiles. "See ya," you say.
"See ya," he says giving you a hug… "Bye,"
"Bye," you say letting go and he heads out the door with the others……
You walk in Marshall's house and stand by the door staring at him awkwardly. He stands there awkwardly looking back at you for a long moment.
"Why am I here again?" you ask breaking the silence. He shuffles his feet then looks at the stairs then back at you.
"Uh…I have to show you something?" he told you like a question.
"Oh really now?" you ask.
"Yeah, follow me," he says walking towards the stairs. You both walk upstairs and to his room.
"Well what is it you want to show me?" you ask while sitting down on the end of the bed.
"Oh I wanted to show you my new shirt," he says with a smile.
"I've seen all your new clothing already, you show me the day you get them, in fact you take me shopping," you say. He sits down next to you looking a bit sad. "Oh I'm sorry, but you know I've seen just about everything of yours. Why did you really want me to come over?" you ask.
"Well, I really just wanted to spend more time with you," he claims looking up at you hunched over. He is so cute and looks so vulnerable at the moment. "I wanted to tell you something," he started but you shushed him by placing your finger over his mouth.
"You know what, I don't even care anymore," you say then push Marshall down on to the bed. You lay over him and kiss him deeply. He slowly interrupts you then you hover over him for a moment. "What? You don't like me anymore?"
"No no its not that, just…oh nothing," he says then grabs your hips.
"No, tell me why you stopped me," you demand.
"I just didn't expect this. I like it. Uh…go on," he smiles.
"Are you sure?" you ask. "You're not going to stop me again are you?" you giggle. "I thought you were the man."
"I am…" he declares.
"Then when do you plan on taking control?" you ask.
"Uh… Now!" he almost yells then scoots up on the bed and pulls you with him.
"Oh are you sure now?" you ask.
"Yes," he says as he flips you over on to the edge of the bed. "oops, scoot over," he said as he helped you move over and you giggled. "What's so funny?" he asks.
"Oh nothing I'm just ticklish," you smile.
"So am I."
"Good," you say. He doesn't say anything after that. He leans in and kisses you. You reach for his pants and he grabs your hands and shakes his head with a smile. You look at him confused as he slides your shirt up.
"Let me do all the work," he says then you nod. He grasps your chest and kisses your stomach moving slowly up to your mouth and kisses you passionately. You slide up into a sitting position in mid kiss with Marshall's help. Marshall kneels in front of you and grabs the bottom of your shirt. You lift your arms and he pulls your shirt off to reveal your favorite lacey emerald green bra. You think you saw him smile but you're not sure, before you could look at his face long enough he embraced you tightly and started kissing your neck as you let out a small moan. He worked his way back to your mouth and started caressing your body. You tug on his shirt and he moves back and takes it off. He has a very nice body and it looks very irresistible so you had to touch him. You kneel on the bed like him and pull his body against yours and move your hands down his back as he kisses you holding you tightly to him. You squeeze his ass because it looks so nice every time you seen it you just had to touch it and he jumps then looked at you with a cute smirk. You both giggled.
"I'm very happy," you claim slightly biting your lip.
"Me too," he added then pulls your waist toward him so you would fall back on the bed. You both smile then he unbuttons your light blue bell bottom jeans and slides them off slowly. Now you're glad you wore your favorite matching lacey emerald green panties today. Although you never knew this was gonna happen you were hoping all day for this to be the reason he wanted you to come over so you came prepared. You even went on a diet even though Jake mentioned to you many times that you didn't need to.
Marshall caress your thighs for a moment then reaches up to your chest then to your back and unhooks your bra. You lift your arms so he can take your bra off. He threw it on the floor with the rest of the clothing then quickly returned to you. He slightly licks his lips then went down and sucked on your nipples a bit.
"Um…" you interrupted. He stopped and looked at you in concern.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"We're not going to oral are we?" you ask with a pained look.
"No, I don't really like it, its degrading," he says.
"Really, me either…" you claim.
"Good now can we continue?" he asks.
"Oh sorry, yes! Please," you smile in embracement. He smiles back at you then unbuttons his pants. He slides his pants off then you notice his erect penis inside his boxers and immediately feel a strange sensation. You smile and look at him up and down. He lays down lightly on you letting you feel his penis while he kisses you.
You moan a little then he sits up and slides your panties off. You suddenly get this urge to take over so you grab him by his shoulders and push him down by the end of the bed and pull his boxers off quickly. His eyes look surprised. You climb on top of him then grab his penis and direct it into your vagina. He grunts a little as you move on him. He pulls you against him and starts kissing you again. This must be the best day of your life. Slowly your movements become faster and your bodies get warmer and your breaths grow faster. Suddenly he grasps your waist and flips you to the top of the bed to finish off.
Its just now when you realize that he never put a condom on. You guess the mood was just that intense you both forgot. Its not that big of a deal if you get pregnant anyway, its not like you can't take care of another kid.
Marshall leans down to kiss you as you climax. The kiss wasn't really a full kiss. It was more like your lips we're open and slightly touching each other. It was like you we're exchanging breaths, or like a weak example of a kiss. Not like you could help it, you're both weak and full of pleasure. Finally he gave one final thrust and came inside you.
The movements stop and your breathing seems like the loudest thing in the world.
You glance at the clock and it is 11:13pm. Marshall laid down next to you to rest for a moment.
"Best day of my life," he whispered almost too quiet for you to hear.
"Yeah, I love you," you whisper even quieter than him like you're embarrassed for him to hear it. He got up suddenly and lifted the covers and laid back down. You copied him then snuggled up to him.
"Did you just say you love me?" he asks.
"Uh…" you mumble.
"I love you too," he says before you can reply to his question.

You always wonder what a vagrant does with the quarter or dollar you give him. Will he use it for food or for some green tea or will he use it for booze and mind altering substances? Imagine a starving panhandler getting $50 bucks, but instead of buying food he spends $25 on a hooker and the other $25 on some yam-yam only to find out that the hooker was a transvestite and the opium was actually sawdust.
That is exactly what the Nuggets pulled on us. The win against the Lakers was like getting the $50. Tonight's loss to the Pacers was, well as the late Paul Harvey would say, "The rest of the story."
The Nuggets have now lost four straight games against teams who are currently under .500. For some reason all the talk that every game is important seems to be just talk. I think we all knew that there was going to be some let down after the way Denver played against the Lakers, but this type of drop off is just unacceptable. I understand that there are nights where there is a lid on the basket, but effort and defense needs to be a constant. I am not saying the Nuggets did not play hard or want to win, but they did not match the effort of the Pacers.
The Nuggets posted a decent defensive efficiency rating for the game and the Pacers only made 38.5% of their shots, but it was not a great defensive game by Denver. They almost always had a breakdown that led to an open look for the Pacers. One unpleasant surprise was the return of switching screens. Indy ran some three man weave and Denver responded by switching. The bigs also switched on down screens. The Pacers had a set where they had Roy Hibbert set a down screen for Troy Murphy. The Nuggets had Nene stay out to prevent Murphy from getting an open look from three, but that left the seriously outmatched Kenyon Martin on Hibbert who was just too big.
I understand why on paper it may make sense to switch in those situations, but I continue to believe it makes for a passive mindset.
The Nuggets now face three very difficult games and do not look now, but there is a decent chance their once apparently safe divisional lead could be all but whipped out by this time Friday night. If the Nuggets have forgotten the importance of every game, they will soon be reminded of that fact.

While the unveiling of the newest handset to feature Google's funky new software seemed promising, so are wet noodles before they are cooked. In the case of noodles, it all depends on the chef; with this handset, other forces are at work. In the end, the doctor (and the nurse and the patient) all ordered something else!
The Sciphone Dream G2 may not be exciting in terms of innovative features, but it certainly does offer some specs that are unusual and in some cases, highly bizarre. Its good features include: a touch-screen 2.8in QVGA display with 262k colors, WiFi, FM tuner, a reduced form factor compared to the G1 (56 x 107.2 x 11.8mm, 110g) and a chunky 1500mh A battery offering up to a claimed 450 minutes talk time and 300 hours standby. The bad news is that there is no 3G (the third generation of mobile phone standards), no GPS and only a mere 50 MB of internal memory. The bizarre options include a 4MP camera (wha?) and no physical keypad of any sort.
This Android-powered handset from China is expected to be available on the 28th of this month. Not exactly a dream come true at any price, noc one knows how much that will be. It can only be hoped that the Dream G2 does not turn out to be a nightmare.
Good night.
