2010 Guide Analysis: "When a movie about Facebook was first announced, many scoffed and laughed at the ridiculousness of the idea which was expected to be a rather dull biopic. Then came the two things that changed a lot of people's minds - "The West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin delivered an acclaimed script, and David Fincher came onboard to direct as his first post-"Benjamin Button" project. Combined with a producing powerhouse (Scott Rudin, Michael De Luca, Kevin Spacey) this is already being considered as one of 2010's biggest awards contenders.
Still is the story interesting enough to tell, after all do we really care about a bunch of spoiled teen nerds striking it rich? More importantly will the whole thing remain relevant in a few years time? After all MySpace was the big thing a few years ago until Facebook supplanted it. These days Facebook has essentially become a second-class citizen to the Twitter-verse. By the time the film comes out, we may already be into the next big social network craze where we only communicate through emoticons.
The cast includes some young but solid talents like Eisenberg and Garfield, even Justin Timberlake seems well cast in this case as Napster founder Sean Parker. Kevin Spacey says a lot of people will be surprised by how funny the film is which sounds promising. The mid-October release is a little confusing (not exactly a prime date by any means), but even with this pedigree I get the distinct impression that a lot of people are going to be surprised at how good this will be."

What is your greatest passion and how have you been able to develop and sustain it?
I am curious about when people developed a long standing passion and what caused them to become inspired by the topic/activity. Did you discover it on your own or was it the result of the modelling of others. Is there greater motivation to act primarily for self improvement or for the betterment of others?

OTHA DAYSep 1 2011: My passion and my love is to share my joy in rhythm-making with a great many people and in many contexts. I am a Drum Circle Facilitator who came to drumming rather later in life than most others in this field. I was a Classical Pianist/Teacher for 30 years and then just as I turned 50 I was playing soccer and tried a "header" which lead to a stoke and the slow loss of my steady income from teaching/playing piano. After a capricious purchase of Congas, I went on-line and discovered "Facilitated Drum Circles" and after a 30 minute conversation with one of the leaders in the field, fell in love with the idea. After a 2nd stroke and brain surgery - I've dived full-on into the world of Drum Circles and now it is a very busy full-time gig.
What had been in the beginning a solitary pursuit has in the last year become more collaborative as I've just partnered with a Conflict Transformation specialist in Boston and we have our first client retreat in 15 days. I'm also now partnering with a Teen Counselor and a Symphonic Education Specialist (of a major world class orchestra - who everybody knows of!) to bring drumming to those populations and the communities that they serve.
Far more than teaching piano, I've discovered that thru Rhythm, people become easily freed from the strictures of their daily lives and allow me to support them as they explore dimensions of themselves that they often didn't know they had. AND they have SO MUCH FUN in the process.
Using African Drums, percussion instruments, song and movement I lead drumming events in schools, libraries, hospitals, at weddings, parties, conferences, meetings.
I've found that in the process of embracing a major and potentially life-debilitating illness and accident, it was very easy to release the pain of what I thought was a loss of a major path in my life. Drum Circles is now my full-time passion and life.
In the process I've recovered 110% from both strokes AND the Brain Surgery.
Thank you for asking!

While others plan and conduct pilots or initiate rollouts, Texas barrels on full-speed ahead with smart meters and the Smart Grid. What's different about Texas is not its competitive retail market; that has nothing to do with "Smart" (the British English term for smart meters and Smart Grids). What's different is that Texas has gone live with Smart elements that others are years away from, including utilities that have fully deployed smart meters, such as Enel and PPL.
Texas has 1 million smart meters installed on its way to 7 million by 2013. Just as everywhere else, the meters are used for monthly billing. What's different? With a couple of notable exceptions, such as Toronto Hydro, Texas differs in that the detailed interval usage data from every smart meter is available a day later to consumers on a Web portal. Texas is the only place in the world today where 1) large-scale residential interval data is used for wholesale market settlement, 2) any customer with a smart meter can log in and approve delivery of their data to a third-party application such as Google's PowerMeter or Microsoft Hohm (though both have yet to go live), and 3) Home Area Network devices are being installed and provisioned today, commercially and via open standards (ZigBee); any manufacturer can play.
Why is Texas important to every utility even thinking about the Smart Grid? It's the ultimate real-world proving ground, with the electric companies, regulators, and technology companies learning by doing.
This state of 20 million residents sees the future and is embracing it.

Last week, the Indianapolis Colts decided to release Tom Zbikowski due to his $1.5 million base salary and subpar 2012 campaign. The Colts had their eyes set on a big upgrade at strong safety, and they got it by signing top in-the-box man LaRon Landry from the New York Jets- Landry was one of the team's top targets this free agent period. Zbikowski was expected to find work rather quickly, and the Notre Dame product has reportedly found a new job within eight days of his release.
According to league sources close to the Chicago Sun-Times's Sean Jensen, Tom Zbikowski will sign with the Chicago Bears. The deal is expected to happen, and Jensen writes that it "could be" finalized sometime later today. The Bears needed the added depth at safety, and Zbikowski fits in very nicely as a third safety who can make significant contributions on special teams.
I don't know how much this helps, but Zbikwoski is also from Chicago as a quarterback in high school who, per Jensen, set records at. The Bears will love the veteran presence he provides at the back end of the secondary, and he is better in coverage than the average strong safety. However, he is best utilized in-the-box, even if he didn't have his best year in run defense in 2012 with just 34 tackles.

A state legislator who is pushing for more compensation for victims of the stage collapse, is upset after the Speaker of the House denied his request for legislative hearings on the topic prior to the next session.
Representative Ed Delaney, (D) Indianapolis, submitted a written request to House Speaker Brian Bosma two weeks ago, calling for legislative hearings so that lawmakers could consider whether or not to raise the state cap on damages, which is currently limited to $5 Million for all victims in the stage collapse.
"I think that the people in this state are concerned about other people and they want to do the decent thing," Delaney said. "I think the decent thing is to increase the amount."
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
In reply to his request, Delaney says Speaker Bosma refused to begin hearings because he wants to wait 6-8 months for all private settlements to occur before the State reviews the cap. That would mean a decision couldn't be made until after the 2012 Legislative Session.
Delaney says he is "sufficiently disappointed" and has called a Tuesday morning news conference to announce his new plan to try to help victims.
Meanwhile, on Monday, one of the victims in the stage collapse, along with her attorney, spoke out for the first time in order to announce a class action lawsuit against the state in response to the $5 Million damages cap.
"We're going to do it and we're not going to stop," said Alisha Brennon, who was injured in the collapse and also lost her domestic partner Christina Santiago. "(Christina) never would have and neither will I."
Brennan's attorney, alleges that Indiana's cap on damages for victims and the system for paying it out is unconstitutional and doesn't begin to compensate those impacted.
"If all of the people whose lives were lost, their families are compensated (with a) cap," Allen said. "Then there will be about $100,000 left over to compensate 60-plus others."
Governor Daniels has said it's too earl to comment on raising the state's cap on damages because the investigation into the collapse is still ongoing. On Monday a spokesperson for the Governor said that view hasn't changed.
Attorney General Zoeller did respond, saying in a statement, "The Attorney General`s Office will defend the State from this lawsuit like the others; but we generally believe it will up to the Legislature to decide whether to rewrite the laws concerning liability and beneficiaries, and up to the courts to decide how to interpret those laws."
Brennon's attorney also filed a separate, wrongful death lawsuit Monday. He said the state of Indiana is discriminating against same-sex couples by not recognizing their equal rights to compensation.
Indiana courts will have to determine whether Brennon has a legal right to seek compensation for her partner Santiago's death. The two entered into a civil union in Chicago earlier this year, but Indiana does not recognize same-sex partners in the same way.

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week
American Express
2013 is shaping up to be a stellar year for American Express ( AXP). Shares of the $77 billion financial stock have rallied 22% since the start of the new year, smashing the broad market's already impressive performance. The firm's unique market positioning should keep its niche well-protected, even as competitors try to lure Amex's cardmembers to rival brands.
>>4 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)American Express owns the most attractive brand in the payment business. By focusing on attracting high-spending high-credit consumers and businesses with its rewards programs and benefits (instead of focusing on issuing credit in volume), the firm created a profitable niche in its flagship charge card products. The lack of a revolving credit line means that Amex enjoys higher creditworthiness among its members -- and it also sports the highest dollar volume across its network, even if its cards aren't carried by nearly the number of customers that more mass market rivals have. For aspirational consumers, that cachet puts American Express cards in wallets. In the last couple of decades, Amex has expanded its reach, offering traditional credit cards as well as other financial products that are more volume focused. While those offerings are dilutive to the firm's credit health, they add a lot in the way of merchant fees. With a spend-centric (rather than lend-centric) model, the firm is better positioned for the next economic hiccup than its peers are. In the meantime, partnerships with more conventional banks should add to Amex's fee generation abilities without levering up its balance sheet. Consumer spending should continue to be a big tailwind for American Express in 2013.

Ricotta Pancake Roll Ups
3 eggs, separated
2 cups ricotta cheese, divided
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup confectioners sugar, plus extra for garnish
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fruit preserves (whichever flavor you prefer)
Non-stick cooking spray
In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and 1 cup of the ricotta cheese. Blend with an electric hand mixer until well combined.
Add the milk, flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing well.
In another large bowl, beat the egg whites until solid peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture.
Spray a large pan or flat griddle with the non-stick spray and warm over medium heat. Using a soup ladle, spoon the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the tops are bubbly and the edges turn light brown, then flip and cook until the other side is golden.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ricotta, confectioners sugar, and vanilla until well blended. And in a second medium-sized bowl, warm the preserves in a microwave oven.
To assemble, pour the warm preserves onto the middle of the pancake, then do the same with the ricotta filling. Roll the pancake up, seam side down, and sprinkle the reserved confectioners sugar and any extra fruit preserves on top.
Makes 10-12 pancakes.

This is the place to start your Shun Sora collection. The Sora 8-in. Chef's Knife has less curve than a Western chef's knife, which means it contacts the cutting board along more of its length, so more food is cut per slice. The Sora has a gentle roll off the tip compared to the large roll of a Western style knife, so the Sora needs to be lifted less, making cutting more efficient.

- VG10 is clad with one layer of stainless steel on each side to create the san mai edge and provide stain resistance
- Mirror-polished Japanese 420J blade upper
- 16 degree cutting angle each side, flat ground

Movie News
Louis C.K.'s aptly titled concert film HILARIOUS to screen theatrically one night only!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. After nearly dislodging a rib from laughing so hard at this film when it premiered at Sundance I was really hoping it'd usher in a new wave of theatrical comedy concert films. I think it's a real untapped market and a blown opportunity. I love watching movies at home, but watching a comedy concert with an audience makes all the difference in the world. Laughter is infectious. Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby all had fantastic concert films and then it kind of died out, giving us only those redneck comedy tours in the theaters. And they don't count because I'm talking about comedy concerts, which requires the material to actually be funny. So, while my dreams of Louis CK's HILARIOUS reaching 2000 screens weren't realized, they are doing a special one night only theatrical screening September 8th in eight American cities. Those cities are Austin, Boston, Chicago, LA, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington DC. EW has the full line-up with ticket info. If you're not in one of those cities, sucks, but at least you can catch it if you have cable. Epix is running the concert film on the 18th. PS I talked to the man himself about this flick way back in January.

by hst666
You know, Spike Lee's film. Pre-dates and appeared to precipitate the blue collar tour.

Qunit did you actually watch the Blue collar comedy tour. I didn't, and I suspect most of the people who take shots at it haven't either. I don't understand why my Coastal Comrades feel the need to take cheap shots at art they haven't bother to experience.

Louie C.K. = The Farthest Thing From Hilarity
by gruntybear
BOTH of his shows were tepid non-starters. Despite the online nerds desperately insisting that this man can tell a joke, I have still yet to see him utter one line o' funny. Sorry, kiddies, but "Louie" has nothing on today's best working comedian: Eddie Izzard.

by onaps6453
...but I am going to be. If you expect constant hilarity out of 'Louie', you DON'T GET IT. It's not a show built on a laugh a minute. It involves some very heavy themes and the humor comes with the situations. If the situation is too intense for a humorous scene (because it would disctract), then Louie doesn't go there. It feels honest to me in a way that most comedy shows don't. Get with it or get out.
Aug. 27, 2010, 9:06 a.m. CST

Hey grundlebear....
by JamesGANDERPeek
You're one of those cynics who can't appreciate anything that a mass audience appreciates, so you hate on it to be different right? Eddie Izzard is funny, but in the end he's just another brit comedian like ricky gervais or jon oliver. I know namedropping obscure comedians to look cool may be a hot spot in your circle of friends but on here you're just another cynical troll trying to be different.

Eddie Izzard an obscure comedian? What rock in Unfunnyland have you been living under? I have to agree with Gruntybear that Eddie is the best comedian working today.
That said, Louis C.K. is indeed hilarious and I'm enjoying his new show immensely. Too bad I don't live in a big enough city to see this concert movie. Oh well, the internet will provide...

Louie is an amazing show
by schadenfreudian
The opening of the, I think it was the 2nd episode (where they're playing cards talking about the word "faggot") was jaw-droppingly honest. Onaps is 100% correct... the episode from a couple of weeks ago when he's on a date and gets hassled by that teenager was in turns hysterical, uncomfortable, creepy and hysterical again. I mean, honestly, who the fuck would (spoiler warning, just in case)

follow a kid home to talk to his parents like that? Then wind up sharing a smoke with his old man? that was great stuff.
 And whichever talkbacker previously said Louie can't be himself on cable obviously missed the "cunt" episode a few weeks ago.
 P.S.- not that anyone cares, but I'm a huge fan of both Louis C.K. AND Eddie Izzard.
Aug. 27, 2010, 11:27 a.m. CST
Louis CK is #1
by Tired Eagle
I'm a fan of Izzard, but right now, at this very moment, Louis CK is the best comic around. The second half of the first season of "Louie" hasn't been as funny as the first half -- they seem to be taking a cue from The Office and relying on awkward situations to fill-in for actual comedy -- but I'm still a big fan. Would love to see him perform live.
Aug. 27, 2010, 11:33 a.m. CST
Louie is indeed awesome.
by HoboCode
I love his tragic and self-deprecating sense of humor. It makes you laugh, then it makes you depressed, and then it makes you laugh again. Louie really blurs the boundaries.

"Louie" Funniest show in ages
by MST3KPIMP
Aug. 27, 2010, 1:32 p.m. CST
by aikimoe
Reality is complicated. I love Izzard and CK. There are many, many professional comedians and comics who love both, as well, clearly negating your opinion of CK ("I hate this comic" is an inarguable statement of fact, while "this comic is not funny" is generally demonstrably untrue). But, there are many professional comics who hate either CK or Izzard (though, in my experience, CK is favored by professionals over Izzard). It's crazy, huh? We all like what we like and when we grow up we stop telling other people that they're wrong for liking stuff we don't.

Louie is great
by TV's Frank
"Louie" is an awesome show. I haven't liked some of the wackier and less relatable episodes- like the one with his mother- as much, but overall I love that show. It's so cathartic to know that someone shares my depression and general disgust with everything, and to see this worldview expressed in such a hilarious way. And the use of "Brother Louie" as the theme song is inspired. Also, British stand up comics are all terrible. They can do sketch comedy extremely well but I find their stand-up to be unwatchable. Also, Ron White from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour is not bad, but the others are all awful.

There should be like a 2 week engagement at a premiere movie house. And it's not like Louis is gonna be in LA live for a while either, not until fucking DECEMBER, and that's a THURSDAY!!!
Aug. 27, 2010, 9:40 p.m. CST
the only misstep he's ever had on the show
by MurderMostFowl
I don't know why they included that bit about kidnappers having sex with kids. That was just too fucked up. If he has managed to make a good joke out of it, it might possibly have been funny, but he went out on this sort of 'lesser of two evils' thing, which just didn't work.
 Otherwise, I've found his show great. Depressing at times, and usually very honest.
Aug. 28, 2010, 12:13 a.m. CST
Eddie Fucking Izzard?

"Louie" isn't always funny.
by DiscoGodfather
That's kind of the point. When it wants to be funny, it hits hard. But when it wants to be real, it hits harder. It's a great show in every level.

Sorry Rabbit cakes...
by JamesGANDERPeek
Theres a reason Louis CK is doing better than eddie, in fact the both of them are friends. Louis is better by far, british comedy has never and will never be better than american comedy. Simply because american comedy is more relatable over the silly words and phrases of brit comedy. It seems everyone else here agrees.

admin-fritz asked: No, I am not, and here is my reason why. I said 'I worry'. Which means that I was showing concern for your well being, which in turn should tell you that I 'care'. And by stating that I care, you turned around and demanded that I publicly humiliate myself for a wrong I did not do. Truly, is this how you treat the people who only want to see you well and happy? I am insulted and hurt.
……Oh…..I, I see…well…..thank you for your concern….y-you should try and be more clear when you worry and…not make it sound like you are being….insulting…..because…it…it sounded insulting. *twiddles fingers*

The troubled Pakistani actress, also known as Irtiza Rubab, is said to be giving some guidance on how to make big in the fashion world.
Meera asserted that for a video shoot, one should try to understand the director and camera-mans needs, the Express Tribune reported.
She also said that one should work-out, and give oneself a daily dose of self-admiration and praise every morning, by telling I am the best and nobody is as pretty as I am, which will boost ones self-confidence.

I want to be a little girl
October 31, 2011
I've said and many adult little girls/sissies have said it, but what does it mean? Does saying these words mean that we want to be little girls physically, have the body and therefore grow up into woman? Or have the body and stay little girls? Or does it mean live as little girls, maintaining body and mind?
I'm a little girl, inside I'm a little girl, do I yearn to be physically a little girl? Yes and no. There are times I think yes change me now, but on the otherhand I think what makes me special is being a sissy baby girl an therefore being as I am, I appreciate being a little girl more because it isn't a physical state and thus reality, if that makes sence. And I can't grow up. If I was a little girl I would grow up and I don't want that, I want to stay a child, I will stay a child.
But what about you? If there was a magic wand what would you wish?
I have also began to understand why many adult little girls have duel ages. I see them list a toddler age and then an older age. I think there is this need to express 2 key points in little girlhood, that vunerable age, dependent on Mummy and that key pre teen age, floating, gripped by innocence but free to express fun. I think it's why 9 sat as an age with me, I saw it through a baby girls eyes of an age I wanted to play at. I still look at that age (and 5) and think yes I could play that, but being, well being will always be 2, because the safety of Mummy and nappies and the simple act of being a baby is where I sit most comfortable and where I will stay.
Acceptance, validation and pansies
October 25, 2011
It is a reality that the world can corrupt the innocent, whether through direct action or simply from a need to survive. As a man there are hidden rules to obey in order to not be seperated from the herd so to speak, so as a sissy there is a need to try harder less people see through the facade – unless you are a sissy who is beyond that of-course. So much of what is taught about living and evolving in society is about how you are seen and thus how to behave, but the subtle lines are very confusing for so many sissies which then creates problems. It is hard to shrug and say I am what I am when everything is pushing you into a blue covered box, countless sissies will testify to this, for every sissy who is 'out' there are countless more hidden and scared.
The joy of Mummy is not just the love she gives but also the way she has peeled away the society drenched layers and helped me see through my true eyes. The tainted soul is slowly being cleaned!
Problems I have had all my life have been exposed and looked at so now I can see who I am with more innocent eyes. If we take my potty problems, these were always present, but before Mummy I tended to keep these hidden inside, it was easier to declare I was a sissy than to say I am not very good at going potty. The sissiness was something I could seperate almost, where as potty problems effected me daily. But I evaluate these head on now thanks to Mummy. So I wet the bed occasionally, I dribble into my underpants before and after pee pee and I find it difficult to wipe after poopies. All through life they have been with me, for an adult male embarrasing, the constant worry about soiled underpants, the fear of the smell from the underpants, the thought I should be fully potty trained by now!!!
Mummy see's this, she helps me control the fear and understand why. And this proves that Mummy is not playing a role, she is doing what any natural mother would do, care for her child and this means so much to me because I know that this relationship we have is real, it's not adults, it's mother and daughter. We all know this is what I have needed.
So acceptance has been something I have had to find, acceptance from ME. Once acceptance of what and who I am, the limitations that brings then I can move forward. I am a baby girl, everything that effects me is because of this and the more I learn about being Samantha the more these things will effect me. My potty problems will increase, I am now in nappies when I am not in work or out, but I think I know that sooner or later I will need to be in them fulltime. A few weeks ago this nearly happened due to a near miss at work. That was scary, half wetting myself, but at the moment that was a one off, although the dribbling and wet patches are still a daily occurance (Mummy is helping with that). Wow potty training really did miss me!! Being in nappies daily is very comforting but I still concentrate at the moment of going to the potty rather than using the nappy each and everytime as disposing of lots of used nappies is not easy where I am, however I do use them when I can and also I use them during the night as this is the best time for me to really regress into Samantha, cuddled up with my dolly Emma, dummy in my mouth.
Validation as always comes from Mummy, telling me it's ok, and that I am a good girl for using my nappies.
And now pansies……..
I have spoken before about being a pansy and what the word meant to me. I kow to many what it means but to me it has always had a slightly different feel. I had for a while, before Mummy felt that unless I met someone who would want to be my Mummy that the only relationship I could have would be with another pansy. To me a pansy was a sissy who was 'attracted' to other sissies, not men, but those like themselves. I spoke to Mummy Honey ages ago and she knew of the direction I was taking, she had encouraged me to meet other sissies so I could be with like minded people. I asked about my pansiness and she said she knew I was a pansy from the very first time we spoke, I radiated it. She said I should seek another pansy in a safe place and see if this was the road I wanted to tread.
In my mind the dream was to be with another pansy in our little girl clothes and stay that way, I couldn't see us being together as men, but only as little girls. I could see the cuddling, even intimate moments, but not sex. So in many ways it was just being close to someone where their was no 'adult' pressure. I could touch her in her panties and she could me but the act of sex was not something that came into it. The fact I am attracted to other sissies makes me a pansy BUT this attraction is born from the innocence inside and somehow twisted by the adult bodies needs. Not saying thats a bad thing.
It goes back to how the world see's me if it could half see me – a sissy, a pansy, even someone who has special needs (as Mummy points out every adult baby is special needs lol). This sissiness, this pansiness and all those problems are expressions of what dwells inside. If the world could really see me, then it would see a fragile 2 year old girl, dependant on her Mummy just aching to be.
To Mummy I am her pansy princess, for I am delicate as a pansy and *blushes* as pretty…. love you Mummy *hugs*
One hundred and one sissies
October 19, 2011
Some are easy to spot, some not so but sissies are everywhere. Now I am not referring to the guys who dress up as sissies, for there are lots of these but your genuine sissy. Sine the explosion of the internet sissies have been able to gain access to others with so much more ease and the result has shown there are more sissies out there than I think anyone ever could have imagined. Lets take transvestites and crossdressers out of the equation as they deserve a whole post just for them and focus on just sissies. As talked about so many times sissies are sissies no matter the clothing, we are timid, sweet, shy when allowed to be ourselves, we have to try a lot harder to be seen as men, we find ourselves having to try and live the so called 'normal' life.
As the word sissy became corrupted and re-fashioned over the years it still reflects 2 things, 'sister' and 'un-male like', whilst I would never say a sissy was cowardly because just being a sissy is brave it is true many sissies, myself included are timid, yet many sissies flourish in being themselves, role models indeed, so they do not cower in the slightest. For many many sissies however the reality is much more fraught. How do I live?
Sissiness is often discovered in latter age, so it is normal a sissy may be married, have kids and lead a 'normal' life before realising what those dormant feelings were. The internet has changed this a little because it is easier to research feelings and find like minded souls at a much younger age, but the sissy so far is not accepted, especially little girl and baby sissies.
A sissy is born rather than made? Yes? No?
I believe so, but just because it isn't prevelent early on doesnt mean that it wont blossom latter in life. I have spoken to many sissies who only disovered their sissiness much later in life, sure they had girlie feelings, but the sissy spark lay deeply hidden under convention. I once said that sissies should be allowed to be free to express themselves how they want to, but I forget sometimes that many sissies are actually happy living a dual life, they are content dressing up every now and then and happy playing the guy. They know they are sissies and satisfy that sissy urge when they need to. Are they betraying their sissiness? Of course not – remember NO RULES!!
If you're a guy who dresses as a sissy, gets a thrill from wearing frilly dresses then being a guy comes easier, but to sissies it's mostly not the case, there is most times a struggle going on inside. I know I have had many a struggle. A sissy can hide things well, but something always surfaces to the top, with me it was things you just can't hide. There was and is the occasional bed wetting incidents, there is the real fear of using the potty and something that was more a problem in my late teens/20's my small willy and inability to have sex. Bed wetting is something that can be very shameful and of-course not something you would openly admit and neither is a fear of the potty. Of course I don't shake and tremble at the thought of using it but it does scare me, even at home and I will never effectivly be potty trained, in-fact I never really was potty trained I guess. A grown man admitting he wets the bed, can't wipe properly and is scared to use the loo is not something we hear about too often lol.
My willy, well you can imagine the scenarios, meet a girl, go steady, get to the 'lets do it' stage and uh oh. For all you 'humiliation' gurus I am afraid I am going to disappoint you (just as I did those girls lol) there was no 'oh my God is that it?' etc etc but there is only so much foreplay you can do before you have to say 'sorry' and I hated saying sorry because I think the girls thought they were the problem and of course they wern't but at a young age, confused and sad for myself what else could I say. Looking back I now understand, sex was never going to be something I could do or even feel comfortable with, it wasn't just the faulty equipment it was the truth that I am a child, a child trying to do something adult.
What has always been a comfort is that I am not alone, there are others like me, other sissies who know what it is like to live the daily existance wanting nothing more than to be free. What is more of a comfort now is I am not alone because of my Mummy, she is the world that binds me, she is the one who keeps me safe, validates me and makes each second in a world I fear bareable. I will be a fulltime little girl one day with my Mummy and until that day I will sleep sound in the knowledge there are so many sissies out there and Mummys love will reach me from accross the sea and wrap itself around me.
Freedom and security
October 9, 2011
If you have followed this blog from the start you will be aware that I had never considered myself an adult baby, however that has changed since Mummy came into my life. I can now happily think of myself an adult baby, for I am an adult baby. So I see nappies in a different light.
Adults tend to wear nappies for 3 reasons
One: A need – they have to wear them because of a varity of reasons
Two: A want – they like wearing them for a varity of reasons
Three: A combination of the first 2
As you can imagine I am a 3.
For the genuine adult baby nappies represent a feeling of security, along with a great sence of freedom. It's something an adult would not understand, although maybe secretly relate too, but the thought of wetting yourself makes the vast majority of adults cringe, pooping yourself, well that is not even thinkable and quite right too, adults don't do that, but babies do. So for an adult baby the secruity of being in a nappy is immense, there is suddenly no reason to have to plan when to use the bathroom, the fear of the potty gone, no more having to get up and go to that isolated room. And this is freedom, this is where the adult baby can now just play, just be, that aloted potty time that litters each day is taken away, replaced with play and nappy changes.
And nappy changes are the another form of security because if that adult baby has a 'parent', then all worry about going potty are erased, the 'parent' will then take control. So for a baby girl like me, the knowledge that when I mess and wet my nappy Mummy will change me is amazing. For both Mummy and I the nappy change creates a powerful bond. I, as the baby, give 100% trust to Mummy when she changes me and as my Mummy she shows the love for me by doing this very special thing.
The day when I am finally able to be in nappies fulltime and have the potty removed for good will be a great day indeed. Mummy will take full control and I will be free and secure.
Birthday gifts!!
September 23, 2011
So my baby girl birthday was on the 20th (I get 2, my real birthday and this one, which is the day Mummy and I met, or as we like to put it the day she gave birth to Samantha) and I know one or two of you are excited to see what Mummy got me.
A very large box arrived on that special day and the excitement soared inside me. After a long day at work it was time to open my gifts. There were sooooooooooooooooooo many, what a lucky girl I was.
Gift after gift was opened and each one made feel like the specialist baby girl in the world, each gift saturated with Mummys love. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to have Mummy there, even if it was online, to witness my joy. The first thing I did was put on the dress Mummy had made me, it fitted so well and it is beautiful……
Now feeling like a princess, what does a princess need? Well she needs a tiara and Mummy had got me a very special one…..
Gifts came thick and fast, princess gifts, dvds, a wonderful bag from auntie, thank you auntie, booties, everything my heart could want, little girl presents for a blossoming little girl.
I now have a big brother, D, who has been looking out for me, he is very special. My big brother D, a wonderful big brother any little girl would be proud to have, gave me this cute little bunny, thanks D.
And then dollies, oh my precious dollies. Cinderella, so pretty……
And then came Emma, my dolly Emma, I gasped aloud when I opened her, she now spends night time snuggling with me and I am learning to look after her like Mummy looks after me. It is quite hard to leave her each day when I go to work. UGH work. BLAH work. Who'd be an adult, sooooo hard lol.
There were other gifts too and sweeties and cookies. So many gifts, each one treasured. What a day!! And yes I hear your thoughts, yes I am VERY VERY lucky, not just because of the gifts, but more because I have Mummys love and that validates who I am and helps me get through each day. And my big brother who is there for me and my dear sweet auntie who loves me. This love and care validates me more than anything because to them I am ONLY Samantha. The path is still so long but each day brings me closer to Mummy.
I thought I would also share a pic of just some of my dollies and teddies, there are more but here is a little sample……..
So thank you Mummy for my birthday, the day is etched in my heart as you are. And to all true sissies, adult babies, eternal children and adult little girls, embrace who you are, even if it is only inside, love the child you are, love the girl you are, dreams really do come true.
Sissy Krystal – a path I once trod
September 18, 2011
If you want an idea of what I look like then Sissy Krystal comes quite close
Before I met Mummy I thought that my need to be fulltime would lead me along a path that Sissy Krystal has already taken. She wants or more correctly needs to validated as a sissy, have everyone know this is what she is. To say she is brave is an understatement. I thought this is where I would end up, hoped I would in a way because then I would be true to mysef, but I was not that brave, my life meant I couldnt take that step, the fear was too much.
This is Sissy Krystal in her own words:
"What's really important to me more than anything is that everyone knows I want to live full time in Sissy Dresses and to be acknowledged as a Little Sissy Girl, I guess a lot of people will think the worst but they will also never understand that people have there own lives and in general everyone wants to be different I think ?
I've been a Sissy since I was born and why would I want to change who I really am. I can't imagine being born without this wonderful gift, I cherish my life in lace and frills and I adore wearing Pampers and Plastic diaper pants. Even though I'm a Sissy Baby I can still think for myself and lead my everyday life, I don't need a Supreme Bing to give my life meaning nor do I need to follow most of the public in worship ( unless is to a Dominate Supreme Female ).
The adjustment
September 9, 2011
I'm not sure I will ever get adults, which is not suprising really. I have reached the stage now where EVERYTHING relates to me being a little girl, every aspect of my life in some way bounces back to Sammy. I see the daily grind and beyond, I see myself in a daily routine where I DON'T THINK, I don't wonder what will happen today, will I fret, will I have to do something I don't like, will I be able to use the potty? The freedom from thinking is a bliss for an adult baby.
My bff said to me a while back with so much genuine feeling how much she wants me to be with Mummy and how much I had grown into Samantha. This whole life of mine is about being with Mummy, for us both it has been this journey and yet obsticles still lay before us, but what will be will be, because quite simply there will come a day I will not be able to function as an adult anymore. Slowly but surely I am slipping further into my baby girl world and there is no turning back.
Living with Mummy will be a huge adjustment, after playing adult for 20 odd years to suddenly be free will be massive…………….. but so welcome. Regression will come quick and will stay. No more thinking, no more stress, no more confusion.
What is becoming very clear is my need for nappies. I have not wet too much during the night, I am mostly dry in the morning, but I did nearly wet myself at work and that was a bit of a shock to be honest. Mummy agrees that my potty problems will increase and that I really need to be in nappies all the time. Maybe this will happen, maybe I will need to wear some form of nappy during the day as well as my nappies at night.
So as I slip further into the world I belong, taking those tiny steps towards Mummy, my destiny becomes clear, life for me is a little girl nestling content in Mummys arms.
One last thing, thank you all for the birthday wishes you left on Mummys blog, when we share my 'second' birthday I will be sure to let you know what presents I got and maybe, just maybe some piccies. *huggles*

Here's what's wrong with this stat – it's tremendously affected by the quality of a player's back-up. So if the Mavericks 2nd string point guard is pure trash, Kidd will look great, relatively. And if they have a decent backup forward, Nowitski won't look as good to the stat.
Telfair has been a starter for 6 weeks now, and his insertion in the lineup coincided with the Wolves staring to win games at a high clip. In this context Cuban's analysis makes a modicum of sense.
I don't think anybody can logically argue that Telfair is a more effective player than Dirk, but this system can identify which players are quietly contributing to their teams' success.
Basketball is the essence of a team game and individual productivity numbers, like PER, sometimes obscure a player's true impact. We all know LeBron is the straw that stirs the drink. But what we may not have realized just how effective the Wolves much-maligned backcourt of Telfair and Foye really is.
Bassy is good at pushing the tempo and setting up the offense. When he's on the floor the Wolves usually end their possessions with high percentage shots. Defensively he presses on almost every posession which makes it harder for opponents to get into their offense. His control of gameflow on both ends is not something that shows up in anything other than +/-, and I would think that with a large enough sample size, certain truths emerge about certain players.
What's ironic is that one of the most overhyped players in the last 20 years might now be one of the most underrated players in the league.
Of course, the Jefferson injury will return the Wolves to their losing ways for now.
Why no mention of the New York Times Magazine article that explores the same topic (alternative methods of valuing basketball players), by none other than the Moneyball man himself, Michael Lewis.
It's a typical Lewis piece: a grain of truth encapsulated in several layers of exaggeration. But it's good reading: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/magazine/15Battier-t.html?pagewanted=all
did you think for one second that mark cuban was going to post on his own blog a rating system that showed devin harris as being a better PG than jason kidd?
that ny times mag piece was awful, and got a smart critique here:
you should also check into the extraordinarily high +/-numbers for Steph Marbury and Jamal Tinsley over the years. The system is irreparably flawed.
Marbury, Tinsley and Telfair all rated irrationally high by this system? Clearly it favors former NY playground stars! Can we go back and see how Kenny Anderson fared?
Here's my take on the Lewis article:
The Wall Street Journal examines numbers in the news, business and politics. Some numbers are flat-out wrong or biased, while others are valid and help us make informed decisions. We tell the stories behind the stats in occasional updates on this blog.

Inspiration from Benjamin Moore's Knoxville Gray
I confess…years ago, Apartment Therapy posted an image my business card on the internet (above), and I still get emails about the color "blue" I used. That color wasn't blue at all, but Benjamin Moore's Knoxville Gray, a mysterious and amorphous neutral that changes color throughout the day — greenish at night, bluish in the morning and more solidly gray in full sun.
But a change of computers and an upgrade in Photoshop suddenly made my original image much more saturated. A light went off in my head and I milked it even further, thinking the new color on my business card would be more seductive to new clients, and that nobody would be the wiser.
Now I put it to you, what would you use to recreate my imaginary color on your own walls? I've used Benjamin Moore's 'Bella Blue' (BM 720) to similar effect. I'm looking at the new Reflecting Pool from
Ralph Lauren (VM132) and also G21040 from my Fine Paints of Europe deck.

This color rocks!!! I was looking at some C2 color that looks just like this (blue-green) for the stairway up to my apartment. I'm glad I can use a Ben Moore paint now instead of the more expensive C2 paint to get the same "ever-changing" effect! I know the Martha colors has a great green-gold-dusty-gray one that also gives such warmth and luster. Colors that change in the light so drastically are really wonderful choices for small spaces to add tons of dimension and give your space a different mood throughout the day and night.
LUNA! Luna was the C2 color I was looking at for the same effect. It looks like your morning photo and your slightly more green shade combined. I love those shades of blue and green together like that. Not too turquoise, not to dark and oppressive. Just right in inspiring creativity, yet creating calming moods. It evokes such a long-ago sweet sanctuary feeling in me and feels a little Japanese, too. Just beautiful.
I love this color! Is it the sort of color that needs light? (I'm looking for a color that will hide dirt and which will work in an apartment that gets little sunlight.)
There's a Benjamin Moore color, Gray Cashmere, that is much paler but does the exact same thing(good for your poorly lit apartment, Terry). We've lived with it for two years and it's amazing--soft and calm, looks mostly like a subtle pale blue but can look gray, green, or off-white, depending on the light. It's terrific with Navajo White trim and looks equally good in our high-ceilinged, skylit bedroom and our infant son's tiny, single-windowed nursery.
Yay!! Multiple pics!
BB...What colors did you accent with in you Gray Cashmere bedroom?
CC, the bedroom's mostly warm woods (cherry and teak) and white (linens, trim, desk). There's a red throw on a chair.
Ditto on the Yay for multiple pics!
You guys know that you can bring in any kind of paint swatch to stores like Home Depot and Lowes and they will match the color and the paint will cost A LOT less, right?
Meagan, you're right that Home Depot will TRY to match the color for you, but the cheaper, lower quality paint will never produce the same coverage and depth and luster as the real deal. It's a great option if you're on a tight budget. But even expensive paint is so cheap (compared to, oh, I dunno, granite countertops for example) that I tend to just go for the gusto and get exactly the look I want on my walls. Since my budget doesn't exactly allow me to do that with every other piece in my house, I feel I'm due a little paint splurge now and then.
I'd love to hear suggestions for more colors that change in different light like this!
Is there a lighter shade of this knoxville gray that would behave similarly in terms of the color changing? Love the blue gray look but I feel that this shade is just too dark for my room.
A B: I used a Benj. Moore color called "Sea Haze" (I think)in a dining room, and it does the same thing--looks blue-grey in natural light in the morning, green-grey in lamplight in the evening, and sometimes grey-grey, but it lighter and less saturated. Be forewarned--it looks unattractive on the color card. I used a color I believe was called "November Rain" for the trim, which does not look white on the card but which reads as a nice soft white against the walls.
Awesome color - we have used in two different rooms - it is just the coolest color. Glad to see it elsewhere......
Another A B, thanks for the recommendation. I admire the fact that although it didn't look great on the color card, you had the bravery to go through with it anyway! Sounds good to me -- I'll probably try to pick up some for a test patch.
Dear BB:
Thanks for the recommendation. Gray Cashmere, eh?
I didn't post the question correctly, though. My poorly lit apartment has beige and white furniture, tapestries that are mostly green, and antique gilt furniture.
I put some bright, sunny yellow into the mix in the form of a tablecloth and it works to make the place cheerier.
So, any suggestions? I think I need a color that doesn't turn to blue, but that will go from gray to green or such. Or else something that will really go with beige, white and sun yellow. And it needs to hide the dirt.
Any help out there?
PS on the cry for help.
I'm trying to achieve something very calming in my place. Also, I like the idea of making a sort of indoor garden.
Try Benjamin Moore Berkshire beige (darker) or coastal fog (lighter) or Pratt and Lambert Moselle.
Thank you, Susan.
Hey Susan: I love the coastal fog and also found one called "camouflage" which might work. Thanks so much!
I've used coastal fog in a couple of different rooms. I first saw it in a friend's living room and loved it there because the color was subtle but interesting and really did look gray/green/brown depending on the light However, if your room gets a lot of light, it might just look "beige" so I'd advise trying it out before you paint the whole room. I didn't follow my own advice and painted a small bright bedroom ---and it is kind of boring there...
Hey Susan:
What color does coastal fog tend to go without much light?
PS: Do you have any pictures?
Mark Chamberlain and bb, many thanks to you both...you have no idea how well-timed your post and reply were! I had needed to come up with a color choice by Friday the 30th, and had been struggling with it for a couple of weeks. I'm about 85% done painting my entire (albeit tiny) apartment in this color, and could not be happier. It has made my apartment seem much brighter and calmer, and I love seeing its subtle changes throughout the day.
BTW, there is a nice photo of the color here:
Hmmm. I'm not too good at this but I would say coastal fog looks khaki without a lot of light. If you go to the Benjamin Moore site you can use their "personal color viewer" to check out different colors in different rooms.
we have coastal fog in a foyer without any direct light and it comes off dark and rich. definitely do not see any beige or green in it.
huntington beige is another great choice color variation. it looks like taupe, green, and gray - practically everything except beige, come to think of it.
I think it's important to note that colors will look quite different in various spaces, depending upon the light source (northern/southern exposure), indoor lighting (fluorescents, incandescent, full-spectrum), and what color you have adjacent to it. So, a color that might look just fabulous in one person's house could completely fall flat in yours. You can order larger paint chips from both BM and SW to get a better idea of the colors. As a color consultant, I always suggest my clients paint a 2x2' test board with the color before committing to it for their room. That way, they can see how the color changes throughout the day, as the lighting changes.
Terry -
I've got a Fine Paints of Europe Martha color called Sargeant's Trail in my dining room, just off the bright sunny yellow kitchen.
It's a grey green and changes all day long...expensive paint but terrific color.
I'm a bit confused -- the first image, the color on the business card (that great bluish greenish gray) -- that color was manipulated in Photoshop. Is the "real" color the more muted grey in the following images?
I am looking for a color similar to the first image, but if Knoxville Grey is not the best choice, I'd love to find a better one. Any suggestions?
I love the idea of a shifting color for my bedroom (which is on the larger side, with a number of windows on three walls).
Thanks so much!
Try Benjamin Moore's Buckland Blue...that's what I thought you had used on the first picture. I think you will be quite surprised how full bodied and intense, yet easy it is to live with.
To the question of a changing-color-gray-green: Having purchased a small fortune's worth of these colors to try as samples, I picked BM Richmond Gray. It is similar to Camouflage, but has a bit more green, so draws out the warm tones of my bamboo cabinets in the most wonderful way. Also looks delicious with deep greens (BM jalepeno pepper) and with burnt orange (BM bronze tone)-for a very retro affect.
i think after seeing this, i will totally forego any cheapo paint options. thanks to all the posters for your know-how. this color definitely rocks. as claudia posted, those contrast colors sound as if they would be a great match.
I too have Gray Cashmere with white trim in my living room. I have grey sofa and dark wood pieces and mix it up with golds, greens and turquoise I have had it for two years now and still love it.
I was trying to submit question about my house colors unsuccessfully, my house is on market now and some people giving me feedback about changing colors, any advises?
I'm painting my hallway a nice icey-blue/white tone, and want to highlight the foyer wall with a richer tone. I was looking at some brighter blue/greys, but I'm wondering if this will work better? It's just a little wall, and is opposite the formal living room so it does get some light, although we're going to put in some french doors eventually.
I can't post pics, but any advise would be greatly appreciated. Also, for what it's worth: I was going to paint my room the same color, with a very dark blue accent wall...my room is Very Bright.
I'm keeping this color in mind for our new house. Thanks!
I know this is not a recommendation, but I love that you recognize that a color that isn't quite a color, but could be many colors depending on mood or light, is SO much more interesting than a color that is just a color. I think the biggest mistake people make when choosing color for walls is the choose a straight, bright, heavily saturated color. This rarely works for most spaces!
Farrow Ball's Blue Ground is another fantastic color its a bit lighter than what is shown above.
Another color I am loving is Farrow Ball's Chinese Blue its very regal and has lots of green in it. It looks really great if you have lots of carmel, browns, beige and even black.
this is a great thread for anyone looking for that perfect shade of grey!
my personal paint advice: I have found that Benjamin Moore Contractor's Grade paint works WONDERS. it's cheaper, it's a bit thicker, and it goes on easily and dries quickly. I only needed one coat (gasp!) to paint my whole living room...I did 4 big walls with one can!
A similar but lightly lighter and greener option is Benjamin Moore's Nantucket Gray - lovely colour and also changes with the light.
I love this type of "ever changing" paint. What color would you suggest for a small apartment kitchen?
I live in Knoxville. I like that color. The name, not so much :)
I'm from Knoxville and am contemplating just using it out of nostalgia. (For a counterpoint, moderngirl.)
Sofik: I love the openness and light of your house. The turquoise is very pretty but probably too personal (as in, people might not be able to see beyond it if it is not their taste). White seems like a safe bet, but I find it can be more difficult to work with. A more neutral (without being boring) option would be to work with a warm gray/beige palate -- using accents of bold colors in decorative items like candles, pillows, vases, flowers, fruit, towels, etc. If you use the lighter colors from Benjamin Moore's aura collection, you will find that they all work together and have enough tint in them to keep from being boring -- and will let your buyers see their own furniture fitting into your house more easily.
Sofik: One more thing... I would think about having your furnishings more neutral in color and style. I had a house with blue-gray carpeting once and couldn't get it sold until I changed the carpeting to beige (even though we offered a "carpet allowance" so people could make the carpet any color they chose). People want the house to look like no one lives there! Check out model homes or ones that have been professionally staged. Good luck!
Citipearl, thank you for you advise! It is just painful to change something you like to all beige...
I understand. Believe me. If it is any consolation, when I had to sell my house in a hurry years ago (post-divorce mayhem), it was bought by the first person who walked through it and I had back up offers. Once you've decided to sell, do not look at it as if it is "your house." Your next house can be every color of the rainbow if it suits you!
My house was mostly white inside, including having painted over the 1950's wood doors and paneling (my painters cringed). I put white window shades on all of the windows. The kitchen was white with a black and white tile floor. I had a pink and gray bathroom that I had to work with (since remodeling was out of the question); I put in mostly white wallpaper with a tiny bit of pink. The other bathroom had two shades of gray-green tiles and pinky-beige sink so I used a black background wallpaper with a bold pattern that picked up the green (so no one looked at the weird color combos of the tiles and fixtures-- just at the cool wallpaper). Most of the house had wood floors -- I put a soft gray-green carpeting in two rooms (to repeat the color I was stuck with in the second bathroom). I did a modest re-landscaping in the front to remove the yucky old overgrown juniper bushes. I had already done things for myself like adding insulation and replacing an old water heater. The point of this story is that if you want to sell, you have to appeal to the broadest possible range of buyers and their tastes.
Hi, does anyone know if the Bella Blue Mark recommends has the same amorphous quality as the Knoxville Gray? Thanks!
