Nature: I will tell you later
Just back from college I walk up my path only to notice the front door ajar, realising someone is in my house I run up the steps in a rage and grab a basball bat resting against the front porch.
I burst into the room and get out the words " Get out of my hou-" before throwing myself to the floor filled with an unbearable desire as before me is the sexiest woman I have ever seen.
She is a blonde with huge pert breasts and erect nipples which are barely concealed by her tight buttoned up blouse, she wears a tiny skirt which reveals both a pair of white cotton panties and tanned smooth thighs.
She stares at me, a quivering mess of lust and barks out an order
"Take you clothes off NOW whore"
I do as she says and immediatly rip off my dress pull off my panties and bra and throw myself to the floor, I cant think beyond this woman's heaving cleavage and barely concealed sex.
"What are you whore" She asks,
"A slave, Mistress"
"Ah yes, no slave can deny what they are when a Mistress stands before them"
With this she walks slowly around me and produces a large dildo
"You know where this goes slut?" She whispers as she slaps my bum and pulls it into the air,
"In that tight little pussy of yours"
And she stuffs the dildo deep inside of me, I pant and force myself to keep my bum in the air pushing my face into the floor
"Whats this baseball bat for slut? she asks,
" A slave has no need for any object other then that her Mistress puts in her"
And with that she pushes the larger end of the bat into my bum.
"Now, doesn't that feel more natural for you slave, both your holes filled?"
"yes, Mistress thank you Mistress" I pant while stealing a glance up her skirt
She walk to the front of me and suddenly slaps my bum hard
"Slave, on your knees NOW, hands behind your head and push those big titties out for your Mistress!"
I oblige her immediatly and push out my breasts and stare up at her as she presents a lit candle. Coming down to my level she slowly begins to drip hot melted wax unto my nipples. I am told that any whimper or hurt sound I make is akin to defiance so I smile and thank her with each scalding drop on my sensitive breasts.
"Now your little nips are ready for you slave rings"
"Push those titties out!" She snaps and rips off the now hardend wax from each nipple. The cold air stiffens them and I thank my Mistress as she pierces my now hyper sensitive nipples with two silver rings. As she pushes the rings through I stare at her huge breasts and yearn for the buttons to pop on her blouse.
"Now for the final touch" She says and with a giggle and she shows me a dog coller which she puts around my neck.
She sits back and stares at her handy work, her eyes comb slowly over my panting body , my newly ringed breasts, my holes plugged with large phalluses and finally she notices my unashamed leering at her snow white panties.
She says that I am finally ready for the honour of being her sex slave and I, unable to contain my need for her anymore beg for the privalege of licking her.
She allows me to crawl on all fours over to her lap where I dig my face into her pussy and smell her secret scent. With my teeth I pull down her panties to reveal her blonde tuft of hair and gorgeus moist lips, I begin to lick her and suck her, exploring her and she moans with pleasure and rips open her blouse.Her plump soft breasts burst out as the buttons pop and fall to the ground. Unable to contain myself, I lift my head and begin to suck her erect pink nipples and slide my hand into her pussy and gently masturbate her. She grabs my sore ringed nipples and twists them, the pain is pleasure as I feel her come in my hands her juice flowing down her thighs. Suddenly she stands up, beautiful and naked, I clammer back into my prostrate position.
She grabs a leash from behind her and hooks it to my coller and leads me downstairs to the basement still wet and unsatiated I follow her staring with an almost wild desire for the soft skin of her cheeks which I crawl behind. She ties my leash to a door knob and turns one last time to display her body in all its glory. I rub my own mound verociously and she laughs at my display, her breasts jiggle with her laughter, Im in ecstasy.
"Now, stay here and rub yourself and think about my perfect ass untill I need you again slave"The lights turn off and I sit in the dark rubbing, her ass in the forefront of my now obsessed mind.

Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque
Rose Tarlow
Interior Designer
"Go to the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque in Provence in June, when the lavender is out and the monks are chanting in the garden."
Thomas O'Brien, Aero Studios
Interior Designer
"Time pauses quietly while I'm looking at the bedroom from Venice's Sagredo Palace that is installed at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Even though the interior is seductively elaborate, it has such a peaceful spirit."
Pictured here is a field of lavender at the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque in Provence, France.

Hearst Castle
Madeline Stuart
Interior Designer
"At Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California, the remarkable architect Julia Morgan worked with her peripatetic client William Randolph Hearst to incorporate myriad decorative elements—ceilings, fireplaces—found abroad. A brilliantly successful collaboration."
Thomas a. Kligerman, Ike Kligerman Barkley
"At least once a year I visit the Stanford White–designed dining room at Kingscote, a Gothic Revival mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. It has an incredibly rich mix of marble, cork, mahogany, tile, oak, and Tiffany glass."
Pictured here is an interior of Hearst Castle.

Villa Tugendhat
Allan Greenberg
"The Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czech Republic, is not only the apogee of Mies van der Rohe's work in Europe but also his most important residential design, with sublime materials and uniquely articulated separations between the interiors and the garden."

the Chinese Palace at Oranienbaum
Veere Grenney
Interior Designer
"Commissioned by Catherine the Great and conceived by architect Antonio Rinaldi, the 18th-century Chinese Palace at Oranienbaum, near St. Petersburg, Russia, is one of the world's great decorating wonders. The salon's glass-beaded walls are breathtaking—unlike anything I've ever seen."

U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel
Emily Summers
Interior Designer
"We take anyone who visits us in Colorado Springs on a tour of the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel, built by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1963. It was inspired by flight, a theme that is evident in the winglike spires and the pews that resemble propellers.

Mount Vernon
Gil Schafer
"Mount Vernon, George Washington's Virginia home, manages to be both supremely elegant and surprisingly low-key. The grand façade has an almost wonky feel, with little regard to symmetry."

Katsura Imperial Villa
Toshiko Mori
"Kyoto's Katsura Imperial Villa is an example of architecture that is totally integrated with its landscape. The sequence of spaces exposes you to the weather and seasons, exciting the senses and enhancing every moment."
David Mann, MR Architecture + DECOR
"At the 1937 Grace Miller house in Palm Springs you can see that Richard Neutra and his client did not rely upon the tried-and-true but instead cleverly rethought how to live in a better, smarter way."

Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza
David Piscuskas, 1100 Architect
"The Baroque chapel of Rome's Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza cathedral sets a richly ambiguous tone—at once dynamic and serene. I consider it a clarion to the power of design."

Villa Kérylos
William T. Georgis
"I love the Villa Kérylos on France's Côte d'Azur. The nostalgia for an imagined past is poignant and palpable throughout the neoclassical house, which was constructed in the early 20th century. Its beauty is sublime."

The Doge's Palace
Brian J. McCarthy
Interior Designer
"The Doge's Palace in Venice defies imagination. I've spent entire afternoons just absorbing the energy of the place, reveling in the light that streams through the windows. It's even more magical in the evening, when the crowds thin and the city descends into quiet."

Kuskovo Estate
Juan Pablo Molyneux

"Built in the 1700s by architect Karl Blank for Count Pyotr Sheremetev, the Kuskovo estate on the outskirts of Moscow is one of the most noble and majestic neoclassical buildings."

Tate Modern
Mariette Himes Gomez
Interior Designer
"Upon entering the Turbine Hall at London's Tate Modern, I can't help but be wonderfully overwhelmed by its vast scale and think of the structure's former life as a power station."

Martyn Lawrence Bullard
Interior Designer
"With its moat, turrets, and extraordinary obelisks, the Château de Tanlay, in Burgundy, is a French fairy tale come true.

Nossa Senhora do Pilar Church
Richard Keith Langham
Interior Designer
"The unassuming exterior of the Nossa Senhora do Pilar church in Ouro Preto, Brazil, belies the gilded explosion that is its Baroque interior. Every surface gleams."
John Barman
Interior Designer
"Although the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome functions as a museum, it's also a private residence, home to the same family since the 18th century. As a result, the palace is full of remarkable objects that have always inhabited the space."

Woodland Cemetery
Juan Montoya
Interior Designer
"Designed in the early 1900s, Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz's Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm is a true source of inspiration, its gardens leading to a series of amazing buildings with their own particular vernacular. You feel transported."

American Bar
Rafael de Cárdenas
"At Adolf Loos's American Bar in Vienna, the reflections of the geometric coffered ceiling in the walls' mirrored panels envelop you with a sense of endlessness, while a grid of amber-color glass suggests eternal daybreak."

Thomas Jefferson's Great Lawn
Bunny Williams
Interior Designer
"Thomas Jefferson's great lawn and rotunda at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville convey an incredible elegance and style without being big and overwhelming. It's exactly the sense of scale I want to create in everything I do."
Château de Groussay Library
Robert Couturier
"The library at the Château de Groussay, near Versailles, is glorious because it is beyond all rules, at once comfortable and grand. It has been copied many times but never with the original's artful beauty."

1922 R. M. Schindler Home
Ron Radziner, Marmol Radziner
"The 1922 house that R. M. Schindler designed for himself in West Hollywood was one of the most radical buildings in the world when it was built. I'm especially inspired by the raw quality of the materials—redwood and tilt-up concrete slabs."

Topkapi Palace
Mica Ertegun, MAC II
Interior Designer
"I am impressed but not always touched by architecture, yet I find the intricate coloring and design of the tile walls and ceilings of Istanbul's Topkapi Palace unforgettable."
William Sofield
Interior Designer
"The great power and beauty of the Tiffany Room at New York's Park Avenue Armory is born from a collision between the values of the Aesthetic Movement and the brutality of the Industrial Revolution. Common materials are reinvented with such artistry and imagination that the room becomes a celebration of all things exotic and tactile."
Pictured here is a ceiling in Istanbul's Topkapi Palace.

Notre Dame du Haut Chapel
Richard Landry Architect
"I vividly remember visiting Le Corbusier's Notre Dame du Haut chapel in Ronchamp, France, just after graduating from architecture school. I kept sketching its sculptural façade while attempting to understand how such a small building could both dominate its site and feel so integrated."
Oscar Shamamian, Ferguson & Shamamian
"The North Cornwall Meeting House, near my home in Connecticut, is profoundly soulful. While it's rich in early-19th-century architectural detail, it still has a restrained interior that leaves you completely at peace."
Pictured here is Le Corbusier's Notre Dame du Haut chapel in Ronchamp, France.

Hybrid Trainer Customer Review
The Hybrid Trainer is not currently available.Continue shopping
Not bad for the money
By Tim (Worcester, MA) on Feb 28, 2013
Comments: Seems to work fine after one wrong part had to be replaced. Went together easily enough. Console is a bit tricky to use and understand. I really wanted something to work the arms and legs at the same time...while sitting, but those machines cost 5 to 12 times more (they are used in rehab hospitals). I hope to find a way to attach some arms off of the upright arms.

Read first about 3Tb
Reviewed by George . Review Posted 28/10/2012
I know that I will sound very silly to everybody who knows about computers, but this comment is for those who know very little. 3Tb drives need a different protocol for formatting. If you follow the defaults when you install the 3Tb, you end up with 2Tb drive and some large unassigned space. Perhaps you can re-format, but in my case this was too late. Here is the story: "The drive has to be reformatted as a GPT-formatted drive instead of an MBR-formatted drive. The old standard MBR partition tables can't describe a drive of over about 2.13 TiB. You can convert only empty, unpartitioned disks (raw drives or empty MBR drives) to the GPT format."

Better twit then chirp! ;(
Reviewed by Rafal. Review Posted 10/02/2013
For those that are not aware of ongoing, long-time dragging "chirping" issue of Shee..gate disc. I'm one of those victims myself and only realised once I got them. LOL 2 devices. Both singing well. But that wasn't the purpose of having 2x3TB storage :(. FYI: The chirping sound is caused by disc heads being parked on random. I guess I could stand the sound at the end of the day but major let down is at some stage you will have the disc parked in a middle of r/w transaction and the only way to bring it up is to power cycle the disc. Unfortunately SG's efforts to eliminate this problem have been failure so far including most recent firmware CC4H. Obviously any requests towards SG online end up advising firmware upgrade. Don't be fooled. So If you're not big fan of a soprano coming out from within your machine you better have a piece of Caviar. Ta, ta. R.

Learning to Surf on Kuta Beach Bali
Posted on : 11 January 2013
Categories : Travelings - Surfing
Learning to surf is one of those opportunities in life that I've been able to take advantage of because I travel. If I didn't travel, I wouldn't get the chance to do have of the cool things I do.
The islands of Indonesia draw expert surfers in the know from around the world. The beginners come to Bali.
Bali is great for learning to surf because Kuta Beach is sandy, the waves are consistent, and there are plenty of surf schools.
I joined a few others one morning on Kuta Beach. We joined the Pro Surf School's beginner lesson. This included a thorough 30-minute theory lesson indoors followed by two hours on the beach in practice.
Kuta Beach is great for starters because it's got a sandy bottom. If you fall, and you will, you'll smash against the soft sand instead of rocks or reef. The instructors at Pro Surf School were knowledgeable and helpful. They took it step-by-step and within a few minutes I was standing up and riding waves into shore.
A stop in Bali is a good way to break up the more serious stops while traveling through Indonesia. My surf lesson in Bali came after two weeks of intensive sightseeing, including the orangutans of Kalimantan, hiking Mt. Bromo volcano, visiting the Komodo dragons, and climbing the temple of Borobudur.
Have you taken a surf lesson? If you're experienced, where is your favorite place to surf?

Rescue plan in bid to keep Civic open
Last updated at 11:46, Thursday, 28 February 2013
A RESCUE plan has been launched in the hope of saving Whitehaven Civic Hall from closure.
Father and son Charles and Danny Maudling – along with Danny's colleagues in local music promoters The Mighty Boof – are in detailed talks to take over the running of the under threat facility when Copeland Council funding ends this year.
The council last week confirmed that it will withdraw funding to North Country Leisure (NCL), the managers of the Civic, and the venue will close in November if no other financial arrangements are made.
"Among all the cuts, the Civic Hall is the priority as it would be a tragedy if it were to close; it's the hub of the town," said Mr Maudling Snr. "We honestly believe we can run it – by working with Copeland Council, NCL and by assembling a team of volunteers to keep it open and make it profitable."
NCL says that in order for the Civic to remain open without council subsidy, a total of £171,000 needs to be found each year.
It is currently looking at ways this could be achieved, including the possibility of having a cinema in the Dunboyne Hall, and working with local user groups, including the Maudlings. In the meantime, opening hours have been reduced – and it is now shut altogether at weekends – although the building is open outside of these new hours for bookings and events.
Copeland Council has been forced to slash services after having a third of its budget cut by the government. It was the eighth-worst-hit council in the country and must save around £3 million by 2015.
"We have seen what can be achieved at Rosehill Theatre by having a group of dedicated volunteers running a venue successfully," added Mr Maudling.
"There's a great deal can by done with the Civic, such as weddings, Christmas parties as well as the live music events that The Boof – Danny, David Eldon, Josh Shepherd and others – promote so well.
"And there are other avenues of revenue that can be explored, like opening the car park up to the public, and possibly making public the Civic's toilet facilities, thereby eliminating two other town centre problems."
The next step, he says, is to arrange a meeting of the Civic's users to explore how they use the venue and how they would prepare to be involved in the future.
"We'll then take the figures to Copeland and see where we go from there. I would hope that meeting can take place by the end of March."
Meanwhile, a Save The Civic all-day music event, starring Jon Windle, Chris Helme, Tom Hingley and the best of the local music scene is held in the venue on Good Friday (March 29).
Mr Maudling asks any parties interested in volunteering at the Civic or attending the users' meeting to contact him at Threads, King Street, on 01946 690008.
Copeland Council will also reduce funding to two other NCL-managed facilities – Copeland Pool and Whitehaven Sports Centre.
These facilities will remain open, NCL has confirmed, but prices will go up by an average of five per cent from April 1. The steam room at the Sports Centre will close, however.
Full details of prices and opening hours for all facilities are available at www.northcountryleisure.org.uk/copeland.

There's not just wages mate, and electricity covers such things as lighting & heating plus there is ground rent, other rents and business rates, cleaners plus something put away for running repairs (and also for repairs from the no-brainers who randomly destroy things for no reason) and after that, add in a costly sum for INSURANCE, because if you hurt yourself on the premises, you're going to sue, and the insurance stops the Civic going bust. As for wages, yes you can get volunteers running things to a certain extent but the figure quoted will probably contain a small cost for a skivvy from Copeland on minimum wage doing all the accounting and a huge sum for a qualified accountant for the 10 minutes he checks it over before signing it off. And the rest I don't know about.
A pity to see a 'good news' story still attracting negative comments. Rick and Fil, the Civic isn't run by the Council but they pay Northern Leisure who won the contract. The Council is not closing the Civic, they are saying they can't afford to subsidise it. So how would they 'get their grubby mitts back on it'? They're trying to get shot of it you numpty! David, would you be willing to save your employers money by resigning so that a volunteer can do your job for free? Where does that get us exactly? The people who manage it I'm sure work hard and do their best; but it needs to be run by someone who can get more punters in.

On World War I's western front, weapons are laid down when Scottish, French and German officers defy their superiors and negotiate a Christmas Eve truce. Enemies become brothers as they come together to share Christmas and bury their dead in a moving, dramatic work that features soaring, lyrical melodies and a stellar cast.
Acclaimed tenor William Burden stars as the drafted opera singer whose voice inspires peace among adversaries, with soprano Kelly Kaduce as his love interest, Anna Sørenson, and baritone Troy Cook returns as Father Palmer, the Scottish priest. A host of important debuts are in store, including bass-baritone Craig Irvin as Lieutenant Horstmayer, the German commanding officer; baritone Liam Bonner as Lieutenant Audebert, the conflicted French commander; and baritone Gabriel Preisser as Lieutenant Gordon. Oscar-winning, Tony-nominated Eric Simonson directs the new production, with Maestro Michael Christie at the orchestra podium.

During the twentieth century, the Balkan Peninsula was affected by three major waves of genocides and ethnic cleansings, some of which are still being denied today. In his new book Balkan Genocides: Holocaust and Ethnic Cleansing in the Twentieth Century (Rowman & Littlefield, 2011), Rosemont College professor of religious studies Dr. Paul Mojzes provides a balanced and detailed account of these events, placing them in their proper historical context and debunking the common misrepresentations and misunderstandings of the genocides themselves.
A native of Yugoslavia, Dr. Mojzes offers new insights into the Balkan genocides, including a look at the unique role of ethnoreligiosity in these horrific events and a characterization of the first and second Balkan wars as mutual genocides. Mojzes also looks to the region's future, discussing the ongoing trials at the International Criminal Tribunal in Yugoslavia and the prospects for dealing with the lingering issues between Balkan nations and different religions. Balkan Genocides attempts to end the vicious cycle of revenge which has fueled such horrors in the past century by analyzing the terrible events and how they came to pass.
Booklist writes of Dr. Mojzes' new work:
"He [explains] the causes and courses of these outrages while striving for fairness, since objectivity about such emotional issues may be impossible. Some of the events he reports, such as the cleansing and massacres during the breakup of Yugoslavia, will be familiar to most readers. Others, such as the mass expulsions and killings during the Balkan wars of 1912–13, are less well-known. A disturbing but important work about a still volatile region."
In addition to Balkan Genocides, Dr. Mojzes is the author of several books on Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and editor of Religion in Eastern Europe and The Journal of Ecumenical Studies. He studied at Belgrade University Law School, received the A.B. degree summa cum laude from Florida Southern College, and the Ph.D. degree from Boston University.

Comments about Compass Paracord Bracelet:
I bought this to be a spare compass in my hiking gear. Seemed like a good thing to have - light weight and a little para cord if things get ugly.
This should not be your only compass. It is better than no compass.

The Children's Place yanks controversial T-shirt after backlash. Are you offended?
The Children's Place has apologized and yanked a T-shirt from its stores after parents and others expressed outrage over its message. The purple shirt displays a list of "My best subjects" and checks off shopping, music, and dancing, but not math.
Here is a tweet by @AIsForOrg, a group dedicated to women's reproductive rights and choices:
Really, @ChildrensPlace? Really?? pic.twitter.com/7BwnvQ0Wf2— A is For (@AIsForOrg) August 5, 2013
The store tweeted this apology last night:
We take feedback from our customers seriously. We pulled the tshirt from our stores and express apologies to anyone we may have offended.— The Children's Place (@childrensplace) August 6, 2013
But wait. It looks like there are different versions of the shirt. A woman named April Kendall posted her daughter's shirt on The Children's Place Facebook page and math is checked off the list. She posted that she bought her shirt in Canada.
The company's Facebook page is full of discussion by parents who are for and against the shirt.
A woman named Nora Thompson posted this:
So glad you pulled that anti-intelligent-line of t-shirts. Wow, what a shocker to see girls being put down so openly.
Not everyone is offended. A woman named Brenda Lederer posted this:
The controversy over this shirt is ridiculous! My children's self worth is taught at home and is not deterred because of a shirt. Everyone needs to get off their high horse and grow a sense of humor!

Ligety storms to win and takes Giant Slalom Crystal Globe.
Ted Ligety recaptured the Giant Slalom Crystal Globe with his fifth win of the season in Giant Slalom. The HEAD World Cup Rebel has also taken two third places as well as the World Championship in an extremely dominant season. With one race to go his nearest challenger, Marcel Hirscher is 125 points behind. Hirscher was second in the race with Alexis Pinturault in third.
The fifth win of the season also sees Ligety move ahead of Alberto Tomba to third on his own in the all time list of Giant Slalom wins with 16. This is his fourth Giant Slalom World Cup Crystal Globe after winning in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012.
Talking after the race, Ligety said: ""This hill is awesome it has a little of everything to offer so to win here again is incredible and I'm really proud of it. Securing the GS title one race in advance is a big weight off my back. I had an awesome season in giant slalom but Hirscher was constantly with me the whole season. Even when I beat him by two seconds he was still there in second and it makes it tougher going for the title. It was a head game when he was so close all along."
As the day progressed the weather conditions came into play and while the course conditions were deteriorating, it did not look as though this was affecting Ligety: "It's tough - racing in the rain isn't my favorite thing," he commented on the rain. "I grew up in Park City Utah and only skied in 25 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny so today was a whole lot different than what I am used to.
While the weather played its part in the outcome of the race, the fact that the organisers had 600 volunteers on hand to help keep the course in shape was great. With rain falling on the second run, this helped to get the salt that had been spread on the course, to work and keep the course skiable up until the last racers.
This is the business end of the season and drawing bib number 1, Aksel Lund Svindal had Hirscher, his rival for the Overall in his sights after the first run. Damage limitation was the name of the game. Svindal had to resort to wiping the rain off his goggles on the second run as the rain came down hard. The lead was 29 points ahead of the race and now Svindal has a deficit of 69 points with five races of the season to go.

Monday, January 05, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 5, 2004) - Senior forward Jessica Lonon (Sylvania, Ga.) scored a season-high 16 points and junior center Tiffani Mayes (Sumter, S.C.) added 15, as East Tennessee State (5-7, 5-2 SoCon) won its fifth straight game at home by defeating College of Charleston (1-9, 1-5 SoCon) Monday night, 81-51, from Memorial Center. "Defensively I can't say enough about this team," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp. "We threw some different looks at them and got some energy from our defense, then our offense just fed off of that." ETSU tallied 16 steals, led by four different players who recorded three apiece, and forced 25 Cougar turnovers. Charleston never seemed to get its offense in sync - the team's leading scorer, Patrice Bryant, and Carrie Geden each scored eight points, as did Erica Nesmith, who came off of the bench. Overall, the ETSU bench contributed 40 points to the winning cause. The only player on the roster not to score was red-shirt sophomore Candace Gibson (Warner Robbins, Ga.). However, Gibson managed to pick up the slack on the defensive end with seven rebounds, a season-best, and tied Mayes for the team-high. Meanwhile, the Lady Bucs shot over 50 percent from the floor for the first time since Nov. 29, 2001 by converting on 52.5 percent of their shots, including 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. Freshman Holly Moring (Irmo, S.C.) provided an immediate spark in the first half by connection on all three of her shots from the perimeter and finished with nine points. The Lady Bucs have now won six straight games at home dating back to last season, while College of Charleston has yet to pick up a victory on the road in three tries. East Tennessee State will travel to Davidson on Saturday, Jan. 10 for a 3 p.m. game versus the Wildcats. ETSU hasn't won on the road this season, either, and will be trying to snap a seven-game winless streak away from Johnson City. College of Charleston, which was scheduled to play four games this week, will be in action again on Thursday, Jan. 8, when the Cougars travel to Rock Hill, S.C. to face Winthrop in a non-conference game. The Cougars will return home to host Elon on Saturday, Jan. 10 with tipoff scheduled for 2 p.m. in John Kresse Arena.

Maria Hoefl-Riesch got back on the World Cup trail with second place in the Downhill in Meribel. The HEAD World Cup rebel very nearly pulled off her ninth career World Cup win in Downhill after posting the fastest time from her start number of 20. Carolina Ruiz-Castillo came down from a start number of 28 to take the win with Marie Marchand-Arvier a hundredth behind Hoefl-Riesch in third.
Hoefl-Riesch admitted that although she had the fastest time when she came through the finish, she did not feel as though she would win. Her feelings proved correct as the Spanish racer pipped her time by two tenths of a second. "My run today was definitely better than yesterday in training. Most of my turns went pretty well", Hoefl-Riesch admitted after the race. Hoefl-Riesch went to the World Championships not in the best of confidence yet since winning three medals, including one Gold, things have been going well for her, she feels. "It's a really good result, if I look at my season that has been very up and down. I would have liked to win of course, but I am really happy to see Carolina winning today and to be honest with such a small margin over Marie and Tina Maze, I can say I'm lucky to be second."
Lizz Goergl made the change to a slightly softer boot and with the added confidence this gave her, it allowed her to let her skis run a little more, she felt as she had more grip. "A thank you to the whole team, which helped me. Today I let the skis go, the line was not quite perfect. But I'm very happy, it's nice to be back in the top ten," explained Goergl.
Anna Fenninger left the finish area suffering from illness and headed home straight after the race.
Despite not racing at the moment, Lindsey Vonn still leads the Downhill standings by 101 points with Maria Hoefl-Riesch in fourth and Anna Fenninger in seventh with just two races in the Downhill season to go.

I'm tired of dumping pails and cans looking for nuts, bolts, washers etc. I've searched the web for good metal storage bins to organize all my fasteners and all I can find is plastic. Does anyone know of any online outfits that I could visit and possibly purchase metal nut and bolts storage bins. Thanks

After many years my metal ones seemed to magically get bent or dented or chipped and rusted or ....
For me the plastic ones seem to hold up much better.

I get some of mine from MSC. I think their web sit is http://www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/nnsrhm I haven't tried their on line catalouge but the paper one here on my desk has about 20 pages of stacking bins, small parts drawers storage boxes etc. Look under parts bins, storage orgaizers, small parts drawers, divideable totes. At the shop I use metal stacking bins for large bolts, nuts, washers etc. , small parts drawers for smaller items, plumbing washers, set screws, key stock and such and milk crates for bulky items like PVC pipe fittings. In my work truck all the nails and screws are in color coded coffe cans, the small misc. stuff in a variety of pull out parts drawers, plumbings fittings and wire nuts / staples are in some small carry organizers from stanley.
Grainer and McMaster Carr would also be posible choices.

Balls of Fury
Action/Adventure, Comedy
In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of extreme ping-pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Down-and-out former professional ping-pong phenom Randy Daytona is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory and to smoke out his father's killer--one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng. But, after two decades out of the game, Randy can't turn his life around and avenge his father's murder without a team of his own. He calls upon the spiritual guidance of blind ping-pong sage and restaurateur Wong and the training expertise of Master Wong's wildly sexy niece Maggie, both of whom also have a dark history with Feng.

Randi Zuckerberg shared the above photo of her family—including Facebook Czar-in-Chief Mark Zuckerberg—on Facebook. Then it got out into the world, and Randi got all upset about her privacy. Oh, boo hoo, Randi!
The story goes like this: Randi Zukcerberg posted the photo of her family fooling around with Facebook's new Snapchat clone, Poke. When the photo popped up on her newsfeed, Vox Media's Callie Schweitzer thought it was a public Facebook post. Schweitzer subscribes to Zuckerberg's feed and she and Zuckerberg aren't Facebook friends. So Schweitzer posted the adorable picture to Twitter without thinking too hard about it.
Then Randi cried foul that her privacy had been violated. Turns out Schweitzer is friends with yet another Zuckerberg who appears in that photo, and that's why it popped up in her feed. Schweitzer immediately apologized and deleted the original tweet.
Digital etiquette: always ask permission before posting a friend's photo publicly. It's not about privacy settings, it's about human decency

@randizuckerberg I'm just your subscriber and this was top of my newsfeed. Genuinely sorry but it came up in my feed and seemed public.

But hold the phone, Callie! Don't apologize. Doesn't Randi Zuckerberg understand her privacy settings and how a photo on Facebook might suddenly fly out of her control? She's merely compromising her personal desires for the forward march of Facebook's benevolent reign and the advancement of the new, new social-media contract. No comprende? That's her problem. Maybe she should read our handy guide to the new Facebook privacy, and familiarize herself with Facebook's Terms of Service so this doesn't happen again. [Buzzfeed]
