May 2, 1867
It is our sorrowful duty to record one more vacant chair, one more of earth s gone to the land beyond. Mrs.
Joseph Blakeslee, well known to many of our people from her long residence in Henry died April 10, at Mendota at
the age of 36. She was a woman of many marked Christian qualities and excellencies and highly esteemed by all who
knew her. She has been sick a long time and has patiently waited the time for the approach of the transition chair
to bear her hence. She leaves behind a husband, three children and a host of loving and sympathizing friends to
repair to meet her in the spiritual world. Just before her death she gave directions that all that sadness and
gloom annually thrown around the coffin and the grave should be relieved as much as possible by whatever cheerfulness
and sunshine could be imparted to the scene. No crepe should be displayed, no dirges sung, whatever voice should
be uttered over the worn out body she would cast aside, should be a note of praise as death would be gain and the
old material be supplanted by the spiritual in the land she was about to enter. Her dying request was for all to
be ready as she summons.

Death by Falling of a Tree
A sad accident occurred at Rutland last week, which resulted in the death of George Brunner, a young man about
23 years of age. He went into the timber to cut wood, a short distance from the house, and not coming home at the
usual time towards night, the wife became alarmed and asked some neighbors to go in search for him, when they found
him dead in the woods. The apparent case of his death seemed to be, that he undertook to fell a leaning tree,
and commenced chopping it on the upper side, when a portion split off and was hurled into the air with great force,
and as it came down struck Mr. B. a severe blow between the hip and spine, which knocked him down, but afterward
must have regained his feet, and walked some 200 rods towards the house, when he again fell, and after a little
exertion, gave up and expired. He was an industrious man, beloved by all, and had been married about a year.
His funeral, in spite of the severe weather, was very large.

Terrible accident on the Vermillion - Two children drowned
At about 11:00 on Saturday last, as Mr. Isaac Lock, with a two horse wagon containing himself, wife and two children attempted to cross the Vermillion river, at the upper Schoonover Ford, about 4 miles above Vermillionville, in this county, the wagon, on account of the too great depth of the water was upset, and all in it precipitated into the water. Mr. Lock saved himself by leaping on the ice, which was unbroken a few yards below the ford and with difficulty also seized his wife and drew her onto the ice as she was on the point of going under. Both children however, we are grieved to say passed under the ice and although dilligent search has been made by hundreds of neighbors, have not yet been found. The children were a boy 10 years old and a girl 7 years old. Mr. Lock resides on the Green farm about 4 miles south of Ottawa. He moved from the neighborhood of Louisburg, Pebble county, Ohio about a year ago and on the day of this overwhelming misfortune was going with his family on a visit to his brother Jacob Lock who lives in the town of Eagle. - From the Ottawa Free Trader.

Asmusson enlisted the aid of other picnickers to carry her to his car and take her to St. Mary s hospital, La Salle. He testified that at the hospital, a member of the staff stated there was no doctor available and none could be reached at once. Mrs. Mater was then taken to Harris hospital, Mendota, and given medical attention.
Roseann Novak stated that when she heard Mrs. Mater s daughter cry she went to her and asked where her mother was. The child stated her mother had fallen. Roseann called, but received no answer. By that time the others had returned. Mrs. Novak reported that she called out for Mrs. Mater, who answered her from the spot on the ledge. When asked if she was hur, she replied that she was all right . She remained conscious until placed in the car. Mrs. Novak said, but was unconscious from then until death occurred at 3:20 a.m. Thursday.
Written testimony by Dr. Harris stated he first treated the patient at 10 p.m. for a wound over the right eye and that she died at 3:20 a.m. from a basal skull fracture. Her husband, who was informed by Asmusson, was on a business trip to the southern part of the state at the time. He stated he had talked with her by phone Tuesday night and she appeared to be in good spirits. As Lorene Keeler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Keeler, she was born Dec. 24, 1906 in Quincy, Mich. Surviving are her husband, a daughter, Rea; her father and three sisters, Arlene, Doris and Elma. She was preceded in death by an infant daughter last year.

Gray Taggart
- Contributed by Sally V. Houston
Dr. Gray Taggart died at his home in Galesburg, Ill., Saturday, April 1, 1899, of pneumonia.
He was a son of William W. and Mariah Taggart, who have resided in Galesburg the past three years. He was born in Reading, Livingston county, Ill., July 20, 1866. The family moved to Tonica later and in 1871 they removed to Lowell, Ill., where they resided until going to Galesburg.
The doctor received his education at the Ottawa High School, but ill health prevented his graduating. In 1887 he went to Minneapolis, where he was employed in a drug store. He was soon appointed druggist in the Minnesota state asylum for the insane at St. Peters, a position he occupied until entering the Northwestern University Medical College in Chicago in 1891. He was graduated from there in 1894, holding a high rank in his class. During his last year at college he was married in October, 1893, to Miss Sophie Green, of Magoon, and at once after graduation he began the practice of medicine in Galesburg.
His wife soon became ill with tuberculosis, and, despite passing the winter with her in New Mexico, and all human power could do, she died in March, 1895, leaving him a daughter, Janet, whom his parents at once took charge of and will continue to keep.
Feb 8, 1899, the doctor was united in marriage with Miss Bertha Davis, of Galesburg.
About five weeks ago he became afflicted with pleurisy, brought on by exposure in attending his sick. His iron will kept him up when he should have been in bed. Wednesday pneumonia developed and rapid heart exhaustion came on, causing his death Saturday.
He leaves to mourn him his widow, his parents, a brother and several sisters and his daughter Janet, besides hosts of friends.
He was a member of the Congregational church of which Rev. James Stead is pastor. He was also a Knight of Pythias and a member of several fraternal orders and medical societies. At the time of his death he was chief of staff of the Cottage Hospital of Galesburg.
Dr, Taggart was a man of strong individuality. Always courteous and gentlemanly, sincere and honest, devoted to his profession and very conscientious in the discharge of his duties, he had built up a large and rapidly increasing practice. His death leaves a vacancy in the hearts of his friends and patients which can never be filled.

Death of Miss Taggart
Miss Kate Taggart, formerly of Lowell, died last Friday at her home in Oneida, Ill., after two years of sickness and almost helplessness. Says the Galesburg Republican:
She has been confined to her bed for almost two years and during that time suffered greatly. She has had the tender and loving care of her step-mother and of the other members of the family. She leaves her father, W.W. Taggart, and her step-mother; her sister, Mrs. Pancake of Scott, Neb.; a sister, Mrs Crane of Omaha, Neb.; and a brother, William, of Lincoln, Neb. In this city are Mrs. Taggart, her sister-in-law and Mrs. A.W. Ryan, a cousin.
Miss Taggart was born in 1860 near Ottawa and the greater portion of her life was spent in LaSalle county, this State. Four years of her life were spent in Galesburg and two years ago last April the family removed to Oneida. It was immediately after this that she was compelled to remain in bed.

Death of W.W. Taggart
One of Our Very Early Pioneers and a
Veteran of the Civil War Passes
Away in the Fullness of
After much suffering from disease and the infirmities of age, our neighbor Taggart yielded up his spirit to the God who gave it and passed into the world invisible - Sunday night, Dec. 19. In his going this community loses one of its oldest settlers - one who bore an active part in subduing the wild prairie land of this section and paving the way for the incoming of a higher and better civilization. We who are enjoying the ease and comfort and prosperity of the present should never forget our debt of gratitude to the pioneers. They wrought under great difficulties and privations that we might enter into this rich inheritance.
Tuesday afternoon a brief funeral service was held at the house, consisting of reading Nathaniel P. Willis' immortal hymn, The Eternal Goodness, and the offering of a prayer by Rev. G.H. McClung, the reading of the obituary notice below, and the singing of three appropriate selections. This was attended by many old neighbors and friends of the deceased living in the towns of Eden, Hope and Vermillion. Burial was in the old part of the Tonica cemetery grounds.
William Wallace Taggart was born in Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, Dec. 1, 1830. When 7 years old moved with his widowed mother, an uncle and two aunts to Putnam county, Illinois, traveling in a flat boat down the Ohio and up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers to Hennepin, Ill. Was educated at the then famous academy at Granville, Ill., in charge of Elder Fisher, father-in-law of Henry Gunn, so long Tonica's leading attorney.
March 19, 1851, he was married to Matilda Stewart, a student of the same institution. Five children were born to them - Ella, no Mrs. J.F. Pancake of Mt. Airy, Ga.; Wilber A., a resident of Laurel, Wash.; Emma, now Mrs. Cook of Omaha, Neb.; Elden Lincoln, who died in western Kansas in 1888; and Kate, who passed away in 1901 at Oneida, Ill. Mrs. Taggart died at the breaking out of the civil war, January 16, 1861.
In August of the same year Mr. Taggart enlisted in Co. I, 11th Ill. Inftry, with rank of Orderly Sergeant. He was soon promoted to 2d Lieutenant; was again promoted for bravery on the battlefield, having received three wounds at Ft. Donaldson, one of them so serious and his recovery so slow that he sent his resignation in 1862.
April 7, 1864, Mr. Taggart was united in marriage to Mrs. Maria Woodward. Dr. Gray Taggart, who passed away at Galesburg, Ill., in 1899, was the only child by this marriage.
Deceased is the last of a family of six children, five sisters having preceded him to the unknown world. With the exception of three years in Galesburg and two years in western Nebraska, all of his life after reaching manhood was spent in Tonica and the vicinity.
Those present from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Zenor of Williamsfield, Ill.; Winnie and Ralph Thomas and Miss Merle of Spring Valley, nieces and nephews of the deceased; and Mrs. Lon Dugan of Lostant, an old friend.

John Walter
The Ottawa free trader, May 24, 1844
The body of a man was found on the 21st inst., in the Illinois river, near Ross' salt well, about five miles below this place. Information was given to the coroner who, in company with some citizens, proceeded to the spot and held an inquest on it. The body was in such a decayed state that it could be recognized only by the clothes, which were identified as the same that were worn by the person who, some eight months since, disappeared so mysteriously from Mr. Richardson's and concerning whom there was an advertisement in this paper in October last. His name was John Walter and his connexions are said to reside at Newark, Tioga county, N.Y., from which place he emigrated to this state in 1838. The jury, after hearing several witnesses, determined that it was the body of the individual names, and that he had come to his death from some cause to them unknown.

RIHANNA tweeted a pic showing herself in bed while smoking what appears to be weed, according to celebrity news.
Rihanna sparked a different controversy amid reconciliation rumors surrounding her and her rapper ex boyfriend-turned-good "friend," Chris Brown, with whom she has been hanging out more frequently (again) since he became single earlier this month.
The songstress, who is quite fond of tweeting random self-portraits every once in a while, shared a shocking photo of herself with messy bangs, a white sleeveless top and what appeared to be a roll of marijuana in brown paper in her fingers.
It's no shock that RiRi smokes cigarettes—as we've seen in the recently surfaced video of her partying with Chris—but weed too?
Her photo was even captioned:
"Breakfast in bed"
Another sign that she could be using dope was another tweet from last Saturday, in which she referred to the popular term for the use of marijuana:
On the other hand, it could very well be just a cigar…
What do you think Rihanna was really smoking in the photo?

NDS |Review
We're all looking for a simple "all-in-one" answer these days, especially since every classic gaming series can now be found in compilation form on various consoles. The over-saturation of collections most likely lead Nordcurrent to the decision to make an entirely new title that would be made up of various original games.
So how many of the 101 games are actually good? Read on to find out!
This is literally the oddest, and most variety-filled mini-game collection you'll find on the market. Everything from air hockey, to darts, to shoot 'em ups, to puzzle clones will be found in this package. Unfortunately, finding extra ordinary games is a crap-shoot: you'll find yourself often saying "hey remember this game!", and other times, "why was this game even included?" The fact is, the "games" can last from twenty seconds to two minutes each. When you first load up 101-in-1, you'll have ten different games unlocked. You'll have to play them, and beat each minimum score to earn "credits", which allow you to buy more games. The exchange rate is roughly "one and a half completed games" per new game unlock.
In terms of the gameplay, 101-in-1 is controlled 90% of the time using the stylus, including all of the menu screens. I found myself wishing that I could use the d-pad in a number of games. Imagine my surprise when I found out I could, but only in a select few, and they don't always tell you exactly which ones, you just have to use trial and error. Why a few of the shoot 'em rehashes made convenient use of the d-pad/buttons, and most did not, I'll never know; it's kind of an unexplained, and unfortunate choice. The menu is also pretty confusing at first glance, and is sloppy to boot. 101-in-1 doesn't really tell you that you have to earn "points" from other games to unlock more, nor that the often cryptic instructions for each game are accessed by clicking on a nonchalant "life-raft" icon. It's all kind of an ambiguous play experience that isn't really helped by repetitive menu and in-game music.
When the mini-games fail; they fail hard. I'm sure that there will be a popular meme regarding the absurd difficulty of the first game (basketball) very soon. I think I maybe spent 30 minutes trying to beat it, but couldn't; same with the Soccer game. The physics of the ball just started going haywire for no particular reason, no matter what I did with the stylus. There is minimal instruction given per title, which makes a few games incredibly frustrating until you figure out the "trick". For "Soccer", the instructions tell you to "hit the bottom of the ball to bounce it, and keep hitting it up without letting it touch the ground". What it doesn't tell you is that you have to essentially hit it just right, and touch the bottom black part of the ball. Also, sometimes you'll find that the hit detection is off, which is even more frustrating.
The good news is: there's a whole bunch of fun games amidst the failures. "Crazy Burger" is a fun clone of the coin-op classic "Root Beer Tapper", and "Invasion" is a neat Galaga clone. Almost all of the puzzle inclusions are also good, even if some feel like mere tech demos. It's also possible to unlock every game even if you skip a few you don't like, so don't get discouraged.
Here's an ethical dilemma for you: is it a curse or a blessing that you can't simply grind your way to the better games in 101-in-1? Simplicity would dictate that if casual gamers are willing to play a game over and over, they should be able to earn more credits for extra games, but many would argue that would be exploiting the system. Whatever your take on grinding is, 101-in-1 says "no"; you can only earn a one-time maximum credits from each game. Despite how you feel on the issue, the real let-down in regards to 101-in-1's value is that you're only allowed one save file, and multiplayer is multi-cart only.
Every once in a while people just want to relax, and play mindless games that require little effort. Some casual gamers will find enough mindless fun in 101-in-1, and there are a large handful of extremely challenging games to boot. Ultimately, after all was said and done, I cycled through every single mini-game 100-in-1 offers, and decided that I would genuinely like to replay 63 them. Honestly, that's not a terrible number.
There are a more interesting character models, and cartoony effects than you would expect from a mini-game compliation. The menus are sloppy however.
|How does our scoring system work?
Often times you will find yourself extremely frustrated with certain games, but as you progess, you'll find a ton of worthwhile choices.
There's nothing really special here, and the musical tracks all sound the same.
Of course, given the title, you'd expect some value here. At $20, you can find a whole heap of your favorite flash games, which can keep you going on work breaks, or short bursts.
101-in-1 Explosive Megamix has a handful of promising mini-games, but the bulk of them end up being titles you'd normally find on a flash site. Given the price tag, I'd recommend picking it up if you find yourself traveling a ton, or are away from a computer for large amounts of time.

READER'S NOTE: If you've been following this story you can skip the recap below. This recap is for those people who haven't kept up but don't want to go back and read previous chapters.
Chapter 1 – Cindy and Dan get invited by friends to a private party where the attendees take turns performing sex acts for others to watch. They aren't given many details, but Cindy is persuaded by her friend Sherry and her husband to try it. The rules are explained when they get there; every couple gets to attend three parties, then they will have to perform at the fourth. Each time a couple performs, they are allowed to invite another couple to attend. Cindy enjoys watching at the party, but knows that they'll only get to go to three, since there's no way she'll ever perform in front of people.
Chapter 2 – Cindy & Dan attend their second party. Cindy meets dominatrix mistress Nancy and her husband Bob, who practice a lifestyle of male chastity and tease and denial. Cindy is intrigued, and begins to follow Nancy and Bob's blog detailing their unusual lifestyle.
Chapter 3 – Nancy invites Cindy to Bunko night with her friends and their male submissives. Cindy thinks that the men are only there to drive the women home, and don't get to play or drink, so Dan doesn't go. What Cindy doesn't know is that the husband of whoever wins each round gets to remove an article of clothing, and the one who gets naked first gets to remove chastity device and cum in front of the clothed women. Lisa's husband, Larry, is the lucky male. He is 6'5" and a former competitive body builder with a beautiful body and a huge dick that is larger than any of the girls have ever seen. Cindy, mesmerized by his beautiful body and huge package, can't help herself despite knowing it's wrong, and touches it along with the other girls as Larry shoots his load.
Cindy opened the email from Barbara with mixed feelings; she was excited about being invited to another party, but knew that it was to be her last invitation. After the next party, she and Dan would have to perform in front of the group to get invited back, and Cindy knew that she would never be able to disrobe in front of a group of people, let alone have sex. There was a twist on this invitation; it was billed as a "Naughty Nightie" party. Everyone was asked to dress up in their naughtiest nightwear. There would be a special prize for one lucky winner, the invitation said, and it also warned that the party would run later than normal.
"I suppose I could wear my short nightie," Cindy said to Dan as they discussed the invitation. "But I might die of embarrassment. Maybe I should buy something especially for the party that's not so revealing."
"Maybe you should loosen up a little, and maybe you should let me buy new nightwear for you to wear. Do you trust me?" Dan asked.
"I guess so. You won't buy anything too revealing, will you?"
"I'll buy something hot, but nice."
"OK, just let me try it on ahead of time, OK?"
"No. You said you trust me. It'll be a surprise, and you can change into it after we arrive."
Cindy was really nervous about that idea, even though she knew that she needed to lighten up. She felt bad about always being a wet blanket, so she agreed to Dan's idea. Meanwhile, she shopped online for something for Dan to wear, since he normally didn't wear pajamas. She found a sexy pair of silk boxer shorts and silk fish-net top and ordered them in time to arrive before the party two and a half weeks away. Then she had fifteen days to nervously wait. She learned that their best friends Joe and Sherry, who originally invited them, were going to be there.
Cindy was so nervous she barely slept the night before the party. She had asked Dan all week about her nightwear for the party, but he just smiled and said she'd have to wait. He ignored her threats about not going, knowing full well that she was as excited as he was. The night was finally here, and John greeted them at the door.
"Great to see you two," John said. "I'm looking forward to seeing more of you," he said to Cindy with a wink. "You can change in the master bedroom if the bathroom is full."
Cindy waited for the bathroom, then reached into the bag Dan had given her. She pulled out a sheer, baby blue camisole and matching tap pants. They were really nice; beautiful material, great color for her and a perfect fit. They would be perfect for an intimate evening alone; but not to be worn in public. Still, she had no choice, so she took one look in the mirror as she turned around, then left to let others in line have their turn.
"Wow," said Dan, as he saw her. "You're not wearing that, are you? That's pretty revealing."
"Very funny. OK, this is what you wanted, this is what you get. I hope you don't mind your wife being on display for everyone."
The sheer fabric was almost totally see through; her pink nipples were clearly visible through the material. The short pants were cut high on the sides, reaching almost to her hips, and the leg holes were very loose. As Dan hungrily gazed at her legs, he knew he would have full access to her pussy without removing her shorts. The camisole left her mid-riff bare, and the neck and arm holes were loose enough that her little breasts would be fully exposed if she bent over or lifted her arms.
Barbara was giving all the female attendees placards with numbers that clipped to their outfits, and the men ballots to cast their votes for the best outfits. Each couples placard and ballot had the same number. The instructions were to not vote for your spouse. Each male cast three votes for three different women that had the naughtiest nightie. So Cindy was number eight and Dan had ballot number eight.
Joe and Sherry came in and Cindy could feel Joe's eyes all over her. He wasn't even having to mentally undress her, she felt she was already bared. Sherry wore a low cut nightie that showed a lot of cleavage and was barely long enough to cover a tiny pair of panties. Nancy, though, was the talk of the party. She wore a leather dominatrix outfit with spiked heels and led Bob in with a leash that was attached to a ring around the base of his cock. The cock itself was mostly covered with a leather pouch. That was the extent of what Bob was wearing.
At 7:30, John closed the gates as normal, but allowed the guests to continue to mingle and visit. Everybody was eyeing each other on the pretense of deciding their votes, and the costumes were fun to look at. One lady had worn an Elvira, Mistress of the Dark outfit, and she looked just like her. At 8:00, Barbara got everyone's attention and made sure that all ballots had been cast. Then John took over.
"Hello everyone," he said. "Tonight's going to be different than normal. First off, there are no first time visitors, so I won't go through the regular announcements. Secondly, we'll have only one normal performance, then a couple of special events. Many of you know Pam and Jeff, they've performed several times before."
Pam wore a nightie that didn't do anything to hide the fact that she was very pregnant. She said, "I don't feel very sexy about my body these days, but Jeff insisted that we come anyway."
Jeff interrupted, "It may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I don't think I've ever seen her looking more sexy. Her breasts are really plump and her skin has a beautiful glow. Besides, I didn't want to miss the party, there's no telling when we'll get to come to another after the baby's born. If Pam has an orgasm, you might be able to see the little fellow moving around in there."
They went into the other room to prepare, then rang the bell announcing they were ready. The crowd followed them. Cindy had never been to one of these parties that had so many people. There were probably over fifty people packed into the room. Bodies had to squeeze against each other to fit. Dan got a seat on one of the love seats in between two other people, and Cindy sat on his lap.
There was a twin bed against the back wall with a single track light shining on it. Pam and Jeff were sitting on it holding hands as the crowd settled. They began to kiss and Jeff began fondling Pam. Soon he had her nightie and panties off. From the looks of her belly, she had to be at least eight months pregnant. Her fat breasts sat on top of her Buddha-like belly. Cindy had never seen a pregnant girl naked, but she was very pretty. She didn't look like a fat person, though she was quite large. Somehow she looked different.
Jeff had his clothes off now and he lay Pam down on her side facing the crowd with him behind her. He was kissing her neck and face as he fondled her titties. She reached behind her and grabbed his erection, giving it a few slow strokes. His dick was hard and long. He grabbed a tube of lotion and rubbed some on Pam's slit. Pam guided his dick into her waiting pussy, and he began humping her, first slowly, then more vigorously.
Jeff pulled his dick out of Pam and rolled onto his back. She threw a leg over his body and straddled his crotch, forcing her pussy over his dick. Her enormous breasts hung heavy, and Jeff let one hang in each hand as he played with the huge nipples. She bent over and kissed him deeply as she continued humping his dick.
Jeff rolled her off of his dick and guided her onto her hands and knees near the end of the bed. He stood behind the bed and guided his dick back into her waiting pussy. Pam took a small vibrator, rubbed some lubricant on it and buried it in her crotch as Jeff pounded her from behind doggy style.
The people at the end of the room shifted to get a better view, as Jeff was blocking several of them from seeing. The temperature in the room, which had started out kind of chilly given how little Cindy was wearing, was now quite warm. Looking around, the crowd was getting into the show as much as the performers. She could see a number of people fondling themselves, or their mates, or both. Dan had his hands under Cindy's top, rubbing her belly and breasts. She could feel Dan's bulge through the flimsy satin shorts he was wearing.
As Pam edged toward an orgasm, the most amazing thing happened. A thin clear liquid began oozing from her nipples. First it was a few drops; then she began moaning as it was obvious she was close to an orgasm, and the drops became a small stream. Jeff took a breast in each hand and gently squeezed the nipples, causing the stream to shoot out. Pam groaned and slumped down onto her face and shoulders as she shuddered a loud orgasm. "ooh, God, awww, awww, umm, umm," she groaned. "ohh, Ohh, umm."
Her pussy clamped onto Jeff's dick in contractions that lasted almost thirty seconds. Jeff humped her wildly as he shot his sperm into her pussy. His face contorted and he moaned in pleasure as the last of his load oozed into Pam. They both dropped to the bed and Jeff's dick popped out. Pam's gaping pussy was directly facing Cindy and she could see Jeff's sperm oozing its way out of her as her pussy contractions continued. They lay there silently for almost a minute before they were able to get up and cover themselves.
It had been a beautiful exhibition, and Cindy was really aroused. Especially since everybody was wearing really flimsy clothes and you could plainly see every guy's erection. Cindy was surrounded by a roomful of hard dicks that were barely concealed. A couple of the men weren't covered at all, as they had worn crotchless clothing. The crowd began working their way out of the room. It was so crowded that Cindy had to be careful not to rub against or bump into someone's erection.
When they went to the living area, Barbara posted the results of the Naughty Nightie contest. Cindy was shocked to find out that she was one of the three finalists. When she expressed her surprise to her friend, Sherry responded, "Of course you won. Don't act surprised."
"What do you mean?" Cindy asked.
"Cindy, wake up, girl. At thirty two, you're at least ten years younger than most of the women here, and on top of that you look ten years younger than you are. You've got long blond hair, blue eyes, a perfectly smooth, clear complexion with peaches and cream skin tones and perfect, white teeth. You don't have an ounce of fat on you, and you're wearing a sexy, see through, skimpy outfit. You look stunning. Why wouldn't you win?"
"Because I always thought men preferred girls with big tits, and mine are really small."
"There's plenty of guys who dig small girls, and almost all guys like the young ones, or at least the young looking ones. And by the way, men can't resist modest, shy girls. They don't like the loud pushy type. Trust me, every girl here wants to be you, and every guy here wants to do you."
Their conversation was cut short just then by John, who was herding everyone into the living area. He called Cindy and the other two finalists in the Naughty Nightie contest up to the front of the room. The other two girls were Sam, who Cindy had never met, and Wendy, a girl she'd talked to briefly at the last party she'd attended. Sam was wearing a short, see through nightie with a red thong underneath. The low cut nightie did little to hide a nice pair of C sized breasts. Her hard nipples were clearly visible through the sheer fabric, and the short nightie barely covered her thong, which was also clearly visible through her nightie. She had a great body. Wendy was a statuesque bombshell blond who wore a black, seamless, fishnet body stocking that covered her (kind of) from her neck to her toes and a pair of spike heels. Her large breasts were clearly visible through the fishnet. She may as well have been naked. As the crowd would soon see, the body stocking was also crotchless. She looked absolutely stunning. When Cindy had first seen her earlier in the evening, she figured that she would be the winner. She was also quite sure that Dan, with his infatuation of big tits, voted for her.
John spoke to the crowd. "Our second performance tonight will be different. Our finalists in the Naughty Nightie contest will play Twister to determine the winner. The winner gets this," he said. He held up a Monopoly card. "It's a 'Get out of performing free' card." The word "Jail" had been scratched through, and the word "performing" had been written in. "Whoever wins will be able to take a pass next time it's their turn to perform. The girls will play Twister according to the normal rules with one exception; if they get knocked out, they can get back in the game by giving up one article of clothing. Wendy, I guess you're at a disadvantage since you only have one article of clothing. Shoes don't count, they have to be removed before you start. So I guess you can get back in the game once without having to remove an article. That gives everyone an equal shot."
With that, he led the girls into the media room. The overhead lights were on so it was brighter than normal. The Twister mat was in the middle of the room, so the crowd was able to surround them on all four sides. Some of the people sat on the bed. Cindy was embarrassed and nervous, being in the center of attention. She felt a slight panic and felt slightly nauseous. Dan was in the front row, sitting on the floor near the mat for moral support. When everyone had settled, John went over the rules.
"For those of you that haven't played Twister in, oh say twenty or thirty years, here's the rules. First, I'll be the referee. I'll spin the spinner, call out the moves and monitor the action. All decisions by the referee are final." John then showed each girl where to stand to start play. "OK, I'll call out a body part and a color, and all players must then try to put that body part on any vacant circle of the color I call. If that body part is already on a circle of that color, you must move it to a different circle of that color. There must never be more than one hand or foot on one circle. The referee will decide who got there first, and the other player must move to a different circle. If you fall, or touch the mat with your elbow or knee, you're eliminated. If I determine that you knocked over a player, you're eliminated. The other two players continue until one of them is eliminated. At that point, the players eliminated may get back in the game by sacrificing one article of clothing, and there will be another round. We'll do this until there's one final winner. Any questions?"
There were none, so play begun. Within only a few moves, Cindy was facing the crowd bent over at the waist with her feet and hands spread wide. Dan watched as her loose fitting, skimpy camisole fell from her body, and saw the men around him hungrily staring right down her top. Her small breasts were exposed to the crowd, who could see both of her nipples. The men on the other side of the Twister mat had a view of her crotch through the sheer material of her skimpy tap pants.
Dan was more interested in watching Wendy, who was one of the most gorgeous women he had ever seen. As she gyrated and twisted into the awkward positions demanded, he stared at her beautiful boobs, changing shapes with her movements. When she bent over, he could see her pussy through the crotchless body stocking.
"God, I'd love to have her in that position for ten minutes," Dan thought. He fantasized that he was pounding his stiff cock in her pussy while fondling her large boobs.
Soon the contestants' bodies were intertwined, making it difficult to move without pushing each other over. They repeatedly had to get permission from the judge to temporarily lift an arm or a leg to allow each other to pass an arm or leg through to the other side. Finally, Sam fell, knocking over the other two. Sam went to the sidelines and wiped her face with a towel while waiting for the other two to finish. Play went on; with only two competitors, it was much easier to find a vacant circle without serious contortions, so play went on for quite a while with no winner. Finally the judge determined that Wendy's knee had touched the mat while she tried to reach for a circle.
"YES!" thought Cindy. She desperately wanted to win, so she'd be able to come to these parties at least three more times without having to perform. It was difficult enough for her to be in the center of the crowd in this skimpy outfit. She knew she wouldn't be able to have sex in front of other people. The same thoughts were going through Dan's mind. He loved coming to these parties, and he knew they would end for him when it was their turn to perform.
"Cindy wins the first round," John said. "There will be another round after a two minute break. Sam, if you want to sacrifice an article of clothing, you can participate. Wendy, since you only have one article on, you'll be in the next round without removing anything."
Sam removed her nightie, leaving her in nothing but a thong. She had beautiful white, creamy skin and soft, C cup breasts. As the second round progressed, they swayed with her movements, mesmerizing the men. The yoga-like positions that the girls were in were beginning to be difficult to maintain for Cindy, since she had been competing for almost thirty minutes. Sam had the advantage, since she had been able to rest during the first round while Wendy and Cindy determined the winner. Cindy was the first to fall. She was crushed. She grabbed a towel and wiped her face and her underarms. She sat down next to Dan.
"That's all right, babe, you'll get 'em on the next round," Dan said, putting his arm around her.
"Next round? I'm not going to take off my clothes in front of everybody," Cindy said.
"You've got to, babe. If you win that card, we can come to three more of these parties. Just take off your bottoms. They're so loose, everybody's seen you anyway. Plus they didn't hide much to start with. They're practically see-through."

Good beginner price, difficult to use
Reviewer: A viewer from Litchfield, NH US
I received these pliers as part of a JS brand tool kit. I bought the kit because it's of it's fair price point for a beginner fly tyer like myself. These pliers are probably the weakest link of the set. I found that I've broken and lost grip on more hackle feathers than I've successfully turned. They just don't seem to grab them tight enough, because anytime i try to make a somewhat tight turn of the hackle, they slip right off. I'm going to invest in a better pair.
Easier for beginners
Reviewer: A viewer from Corvallis, OR US
This is a much easier to handle plier for beginners, since you never need to switch hands while winding hackle. I have pulled it off the hackle before, so slightly lighter tension is needed, but I haven't broken any hackle stems either like with my english hackle plier.

Product Overview
- Amni Original Formula
- A Dietary Supplement
Melatonin is a natural hormone nutrient that is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan by the pineal gland in the back of the brain. Melatonin also occurs in small amounts in a variety of foods. In the body, melatonin appears to regulate sleep/wake cycles, support normal immune function, and protect cells from free radical damage. Most of the research on melatonin has focused on its role in maintaining normal sleep/wake rhythms. The perception of daylight in the eyes is a signal for the pineal gland to inhibit melatonin synthesis and release. At night or in the dark, the body's melatonin production rises. The rise in plasma melatonin is thought to be responsible for bringing on sleep. Nocturnal melatonin production is highest in children and begins to decline from adolescence on until it is virtually absent in the elderly. Melatonin supports normal immune function by helping maintain the activity of circulating natural killer cells. It also has been found to function as an antagonist for stress-induced immunosuppression. Melatonin is considered a potent antioxidant that enters all body cells to help prevent free radical damage. In the brain, melatonin is perhaps the most important physiological antioxidant. Due to its lipid and water-soluble properties, it can freely cross the blood-brain barrier. In vitro studies show that melatonin is more effective than glutathione in scavenging toxic hydroxyl radicals, and also more efficient than vitamin E in neutralizing peroxyl radicals which can induce DNA damage. Furthermore, melatonin stimulates the main antioxidant enzyme of the brain, glutathione peroxidase.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 05.27.2010
- Real GDP
- The second estimate for real GDP in the first quarter came in at 3.0 percent, 0.2 percentage point (pp) below the advance estimate and 0.5 pp lower than the Bloomberg survey's median expectation of an upward revision to 3.5 percent. The lower estimate reflects downward revisions to personal consumption expenditures and nonresidential fixed investment, as well as an upward revision to imports, which were only partially offset by upward revisions to exports and change in private inventories. Personal consumption expenditures were revised down 0.1 pp to a 3.5 percent increase in the first quarter, contributing 0.1 pp less to real GDP growth. Real imports were revised from 8.9 percent to 10.4 percent during the quarter, slicing 0.2 pp from real GDP growth. The nonresidential investment revision, from 4.0 percent to 3.1 percent, subtracted 0.1 percent from output growth. Real exports were revised up from 5.8 percent to 7.2 percent, adding 0.2 pp to output growth. Private inventories in the advance estimate were shown to have fallen by $31.1 billion in the first quarter, while the second estimate changed this number to $33.9 billion, tacking on an additional 0.1 pp to real GDP growth. Modest adjustments to residential investment and government spending had a very minimal effect on the revision to output growth. Corporate profits were released alongside the GDP report, rising 5.5 percent ($81.4 billion) during the first quarter, the fifth consecutive quarterly increase. On a year-over-year basis, profits are up 31.0 percent, their second consecutive quarter in positive territory after eleven straight quarters of declines.

Political Jesus is a biblio-blog/theoblog maintained by h00die_R, Optimistic Chad, and Amanda Mac, usually filled with commentary on ministry, theology, Scripture, politics, science fiction, and pop culture
We ( I, Rod, speaking in the oh so cool royal we) believe in short posts. Like, so you could read within five minutes or less. But other than that, there are two posts about Why Political Jesus Exists:
Read them if you want to know where this blog is coming from.
As a disclaimer, the views of this blog do not necessarily represent Briercrest College and Seminary, Brite Divinity School, or any other of our affiliations.
The Boring Stuff: Amanda became a Christian in high school, and decided to find out more about this Jesus stuff by going to Bible college and getting a B.R.E. in Pastoral Ministry and Religious Studies. Amanda has spent the last decade working in a wide variety of pastoral capacities including: interim preaching and pulpit supply, worship leading, youth ministry, administration/vision-planning, and Bible teaching. In 2010 Amanda and her family moved from the bustling metropolis of the Greater Toronto Area to five miles east of the middle-of-nowhere Saskatchewan. The move has allowed Amanda to take a break from pastoral ministry and reorient her interests in a more academic direction. Amanda is currently working on a M.A.T.S. degree in Theology at Briercrest College and Seminary with the eventual goal of getting a Th.D or Ph.D in theology.
The Unique Stuff: Amanda is a sci-fi loving, Star Trek-watching, World of Warcraft-playing, Whedon-loving, geek. She leans Marvel in her comic affiliations. Yes, she has been known to attend Star Trek conventions. No, she does not dress as a "Red Shirt" or a Klingon (or a Ferengi, or a Borg, or a…). When she's not blogging for Political Jesus, she can be found blogging over at Cheese-Wearing Theology.
The following is stuff that Chad had on his bio page, so Amanda copied it:
Favorite Bible Verse: Ruth 3:7
Favorite Church Father: Karl Barth (okay, he's not an original Church Father, but he has been called the Church Father of the 20th century).
Professional Affiliations: Student member of the Evangelical Theological Society
Book Wishlist: Buy me books here
Chad is optimistic.
A minister. married. Kids. Nerdy. No, really. We're talking comic book, dungeons and dragons, pasty-white skin, loves discussing philosophy and religion, plays table-top games, sci-fi, collects actions figures, and teaches his kids that flags don't deserve allegiance type nerd.
Favorite Bible Verse: Mark 16:7
Favorite Church Father: Irenaeus of Lyons

If you can imagine Chad with his hands in his pockets, whistling, looking pensive, this is where that image would fit.
ABOUT h00die_R
Where It All Started
Rod was raised in a Christian home, 1/2 National Baptist Convention, USA Inc., and the other 1/2 African Methodist Episcopal Zion. Rod sees himself firmly within the Free Church tradition with Wesleyan Holiness tendencies. He is grateful for the teaching of Jesus passed down by his mother. In the second grade, Rod responded to an altar call, and three weeks later on Mother's Day, he was baptized along with one of his brothers. He has been a Trekkie since an early age, with his absolute prefered series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which featured one of his heroes, Captain Benjamin Sisko. As far as comic books go, he loved MARVEL comics/entertainment, but BATMAN is vastly superior to any hero narrative out there, and he cannot tolerate Superman. No apologies for that one. NHL Teams- Dallas Stars, Atlanta Thrashers, and basically any other team based in the Southern U.S. A.; NFL Teams-Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Green Bay Packers; NBA Team- San Antonio Spurs; with my favorite sport, Major League Baseball: Chicago White Sox. Oh, yes, and Go Cards! (University of Louisville Cardinals) and Go Frogs! (TCU Horned Frogs)
School And Career Info:
Rod was called to preach as a teenager, and has developed a deep love for Children's Ministry. The late reverend Reggie White was his favorite athlete and minister. A few years back, a World History teacher told Rod he looked like someone who would go to seminary, and so here he is, with a BA in Religious Studies, a MDiv in Black Church Studies and Pre-PhD studies, and a Masters of Theology in History and Theology. In his spare time, Rod loves to keep up with politics, daydream about the possibilities of a post-colonial/anti-racist/non-violent Church, read Science Fiction as well as watch Sci-Fi shows and movies, as well as think of the possible dissertation topics he hopes to pursue in a PhD program for theological studies. Right now, Rod's research interests can be found somewhere between historical theology and economics.
