Posted Thu 18th of October 2012
Spent more time on this one, and tried to make it long. I hope you all enjoy!!!
I awoke to the sound of Luke getting out of the bed. I opened my eyes to see that beautiful boy stark naked, about 10 feet from my face. I saw his tight ass, with some dried cum on it. His dick, though flaccid, looked amazing.
I started to get hard, even though I had woken up just seconds ago. He walked into the bathroom that was in his room, and closed the door. I guessed he was going to shower, and get dressed, and then wake me up. He had mentioned that his parents left early for work, and returned late. They were obviously making a great living, because there house was amazing.
I was still hard from the image of his naked body in my head, and I decided I was going to go shower with him. I arose from the bed, my ass still a little sore. My hole was a little irritated, but I didn't care at all. I walked opened the bathroom door, and entered the warm, moist room. The shower was running, and behind the curtain, I imagined his amazing body.
I opened the curtain, and he yelped, and threw a shampoo bottle at me, hitting me in the stomach. "Oh Gabe, sorry!"
I stood there, laughing a bit, and just smiled. "Well don't just stand there, get your sexy ass in here!"
I nearly hopped in and he wrapped his arms around me. He looked me in the eyes and just stared at me for a little while, despite the water pouring on us.
"Listen, Gabe, I know things between us have been moving fast, but one thing I am sure of, is that you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I never believed in love at first sight, but when I walked into that classroom, I knew I wanted you, and only you. This might sound crazy, but I, I love you Gabe."
I was stunned by what he had said, but I was flattered. We only had known each other for about 2 days, but he was already in love with me. I did like him, a lot, but I really didn't know if I loved him. But he just poured his heart out to me, and how could I say I didn't love him?
He must have known what the expression on my face meant, because he turned around and turned off the water quickly. "I'm sorry Gabe; I probably should have thought that one through. I know I just put you on the spot, by telling you that I loved you. I know that you probably aren't madly in love with me, and I am ok with that."
"Luke, you are an amazing guy, and I am lucky that you even noticed me. I like you alo-"
Just then he pulled me close to his semi-muscular body, and deeply kissed me. As soon as his lips touched mine, his tongue roughly entered my mouth, and searched around it. I could feel his dick starting to harden, which was making me hornier by the second.
My hands ventured down his back, and I felt his tight, smooth, beautiful ass in my hands. He had his hands on my waist, and was moaning, and his husky morning voice was another major turn on. I started to feel in between his ass cheeks, searching for that tight hole. When I found it, I started to rub it quickly. It was wet because he had already been in the shower for a bit, evidentially already cleaning his ass cheeks, and hole already.
He moaned louder, our lips still pressed together. I decided to stick my finger in that tight hole, and when I did, He broke the kiss, and yelled out. "Oh God Gabe, yes!!" That was too much for me, and I wanted- no, needed to fuck him right now.
"Bend over right now"
"Yes master" he said in a slutty tone, as he bent over. I slapped his tight ass a couple of times, and he replied with cute, short moans.
In everything he did, he seemed to be able to turn me on. I got on my knees, and put my mouth to his tight pink hole. I licked up and down his hole, and even let my tongue enter a few times. He was moaning loudly, and breathing heavily, obviously enjoying what I was doing. After about 2 minutes of this, I stood up and lined my rock hard cock up with his hole, and decided not to even take it slow.
I pushed, and with a small pop, about 5'' of my cock slid into him. If we had proper lube, I probably could have gotten all 7" in, but this was good enough. I figured I would wait a few seconds to start pounding his ass, because the feeling of my cock inside it was amazing.
He was yelling out now, and stroking his semi-hard cock. I grabbed his hips, and pulled almost all the way out, and then thrusting back in again. I started to repeat this, pulling out and pushing back in faster and faster. Luke was now yelling out, "Fuck yes, and fuck my tight hole".
His words, his moans, even his breathing, were all bringing me closer to an orgasm. I was trying to prolong this amazing sex, and I managed to fuck him for 10 minutes straight in that position. He must have gotten tired from bending over that long, because by now he was on his hands and knees, and I was in a squatting position, still fucking his hole.
He was breathing heavier now, and his moans became quieter, but more quickly. All of a sudden, I felt his muscles tense up, and he shook a bit as 5 strings of his cum shot from his cock, hitting the shower walls and tubs. In that moment, I pounded his as hard one last time, before pulling out my cock and shooting about 6 loads of my warm seed out onto his back and asscheeks.
I leaned forward, clinging tight to his body, and I felt as if all my energy had been drained. I felt my cum rubbing against my chest, and the smooth feeling felt amazing. Luke sat there breathing heavily. It was about a minute before either of us spoke.
"Wow Gabe, you really know how to fuck a guy"
"Yeah" that was all I could manage to say.
We turned the shower back on, and had a nice long, warm shower together. We kissed a few times, and I gave him a hand job, but that was all that happened. We got out of the shower, and dried off, and got dressed and ready for the day.
When we walked into his room, I looked at his clock which only read 10:00am. How the fuck was it so early? He must have gotten up real early, because we were in the shower for about 2 hours. But that means I would get to spend more time with him all day.
We were lucky that we had done all this so early because Luke's younger siblings would be awaking soon, and that would give us little to no privacy at all. I sat down on his bed, while he laid and looked on his phone. He looked so sexy, just laying there. His short blonde hair, still damp. Hi blue eyes looking glassy because of the light in his phone.
Right then, it was like something clicked in me. I knew I wanted all of this guy, and I wanted to give him my all.
He threw his phone aside
"Yeah Gabe?"
I had to be honest, and make my point quickly. "I really like you, and I want you to be my boyfriend"
"I wouldn't have it any other way Gabe"
So that was amazing in my opinion. I got to have the sexiest guy alive as my boyfriend.
-------Monday Morning, At School--------------
I arrived early to school, very excited to see Luke. I guess he must have told a girl or two about us, because the news had spread like wild fire. The new gay couple in the school. When I walked by, I heard some people talking about Luke and I, I heard some jerks muttering the word faggot as I walked by them. But for the most part, the people of this school seemed to accept this and mind there own business.
When I went to sit in our homeroom, the group of the jocks was there, starting to insult me. Luke was not there yet, but I felt I could handle this on my own. They weren't insulting me directly, but they were purposely talking loudly so I could hear the things they were saying about me.
The main reason they hated me was not because I was gay, but because I "didn't respect them". But my thoughts on that were fuck those guys. Out of all the group of them though, I noticed one guy who seemed to not be like them. He was quiet, and wasn't loud and annoying like the rest of them. When they would make a joke about me, he wouldn't laugh, he looked as if he wanted to yell at them. When they would stand around Luke's locker, making fun of him, he was the one who would find a way to distract them. He seemed like a great guy, just confused about what he wanted his friends to be like.
When I turned around to look at them, I noticed him smiling at me. The others just sat there and stared, and when I turned around, they started to laugh again. But the subject of there conversation changed when others began entering the room, and they started to quiet down.
Luke wasn't here yet, and I was getting worried he might not show up today. I got up to go to the bathroom, mainly to go and text him, and find out if he was coming today. When I entered the bathroom, I pulled out my phone and texted him asking him where he was. As I put my phone back in my pocket, that boy from homeroom walked in.
I was expecting him to just head for the urinal, and then leave but he came straight to me.
"I don't think its right how they treat you"
"Yeah, but I can't really do anything about it"
I was feeling sad, first because I hated being treated badly, and picked on. Second, Luke wasn't here and that was depressing me also.
"If Luke was here, he could make me feel better though"
"Yeah, I bet you feel pretty lonely right now"
He was right. I felt alone, and unloved.
"I wish I just had someone to hug"
Right after I said that, he walked over to me and wrapped his muscular arms around me. Now this guy was actually very attractive. He was tall, muscular build, with light brown hair and green eyes. He had stubble on his face, which I found rather cute. Hugging him felt so right though. I felt loved, and warmed, and I didn't want to even let go.
After a little bit though, I did. As I did, I looked into his eyes. I felt strangely attracted to him, and in that instance, his lips met mine. Before I could resist, I felt his tongue at my lips for entry, and I let it in. Eventually I pulled away though. What had I done? How could I kiss another guy, and feel attracted to him, when I already had Luke?
"Oh, I'm sorry. You don't even know my name. I am Dan"
"It's ok Dan. But Um I think we should get back to homeroom"
When I got back to homeroom, I saw Luke sitting there. He stood and ran and hugged me, and gave me a quick peck on the lips. I was glad to see him, but I felt guilty. I turned around to see Dan, looking angry, and disappointed. I turned away from him, and left the room with Luke.

High school can be a battlefield, but for Lily Parker, surviving at St. Sophia's School for Girls is a matter of life and death...
Protecting Chicago from the dark side can be an exhausting job, especially when you're a junior. So when the girls of St. Sophia's start gearing up for Sneak, their fall formal, Lily decides to join in on some good, old-fashioned party prep—even if it means not giving demons, vampires and the twisted magic users known as Reapers her undivided attention.
But when a Reaper infiltrates the school, Lily doesn't forget what she's sworn to protect. She reaches deep into herself to draw out her magic—and finds that it's gone. And it turns out she's not alone. A magical blackout has slammed through paranormal Chicago, and no one knows what—or who—caused it. But Lily knows getting back her magic is worth the risk of going behind enemy lines..
This is a series where there are a lot of things I like about the books but things that could be better.
I love the setting for this series. It is a boarding school set in an old gothic convent and I love the idea that all these magical going-ons happen underneath the feet (quite literally) of all the ordinary people. I love the concept behind the series and the idea of these teenagers with magic battling it out the save people.
My favourite thing about this book as with the previous ones is the relationship between Lily and her best friend Scout. I love seeing their interactions and how they get on and support each other as friends. This was particularly the case in this book where the pair (and all the others involved) lose their magical abilities)
As with book 2 I did feel there was a lot of faffing about. I was finding myself wanting something more to happen and for the characters to give up discussing events and just get on with it. I often find that the secondary characters, like the bitchy characters lily and scout live with, often hold up the story more than they add to it.
All in all a series I do quite enjoy on the whole even though it could be better. Anyone know if there is going to be anymore in the series???

NEW YORK – Rhode Island Verizon Wireless workers had "an extra something" in their pay envelopes on Feb. 17.
The company paid employees bonuses ranging from 6 percent to 10 percent of their base salaries. Bonuses are paid based on the company's annual performance and individual employees' performance.
Merit raises, starting at 2.5 percent, are slated to follow in coming weeks, a news release said.
Verizon said it invested $297 million in its New England wireless network in 2011, $100 million in Rhode Island.
Verizon also highlighted that it activated its 4G LTE network in Rhode Island in November in 21 communities, including the T.F. Green International Airport.

The NY Times ran a story this weekend calling movie trailers the last holdout for women in the business. If that were only true we could fight it, but we all know this is just one of the problems.
If you've been in a car recently with a GPS you know the voice is a woman's, because as the article says, our brains are wired to prefer female voices over male voices, but while that might be true, women's voices are still not as trusted to sell anything compared to a male voice.
Accoding to the piece women don't exude the type of authority in their voices that encourge people to go to the movies or buy products.
Bullshit. These guys just believe that to be the case because they are just used to having guys and know the guys to hire to voice trailers. The pathetic thing in the story is that they could only name one female voiced trailer and that was a movie from over a decade ago Gone in Sixty Seconds. How can women break in when there is this notion that women do not have the same authority in their voices as men.
There is the disconnect between the science of the brain and the sexism of the business.
And it's not just men that prefer male voices, it's also the women because honestly we are brainwashed to believe that men exude more authority. A researcher in the piece says people "perceived the deep voice to be smarter, more authoritative and more trustworthy." And here's a quote from a guy who actually makes the trailers: "Female voice-overs don't have the same credibility. Sometimes I'll even consider a few guys with similar voices, and one might be a little more resonant and commanding, even in a subtle way. He usually gets the job."

A Dargaville man has been jailed for 13 months for his role in a brutal attack on two police officers on Christmas Day.
Stewart Anthony Tahere, 27, appeared in the Dargaville District Court yesterday, having pleaded guilty to charges of assaulting a police officer and escaping police custody.
The incident occurred when a single police officer visited a Tirarau address in response to a wilful damage complaint.
The court heard Tahere became aggressive with the officer after a 20 year-old was arrested at the address.
The officer was then encircled and he and another officer who came to help, were attacked.
One officer was knocked out and the second was kicked in the head while protecting his colleague.
It is alleged a woman used a brick as a weapon, and also tried to shoot an officer with his own Taser gun.
Judge Greg Davis handed down a 13 month concurrent prison term to Tahere for the two charges, adding a further 6 months - three months' on a non-related dangerous driving charge and three months for a charge of driving while disqualified.
The Crown prosecutor David Stevens and Tahere's lawyer John Day agreed that while Tahere had not actually physically assaulted the officer, he had by his actions incited the attack which hospitalised the two police officers.
Mr Day said Tahere knew he had done wrong, and was very remorseful. He handed up letters of apology from the defendant and argued that Tahere had no previous convictions for violence.
Judge Davis said he accepted that Tahere didn't lay a hand on the officers, but said his actions caused others to set on the two constables.
The judge also noted the offending was aggravated by the fact Tahere was already on bail on the driving charges and for wilful damage of a police cell when the attack occurred.

Same as it ever was:
Via: Bloomberg:
Since taking office in 1999, Hugo Chavez has spread his socialist revolution in Venezuela by seizing more than 1,000 companies. For bondholders that stuck by him, he's also delivered returns that are double the emerging- market average.
The 681 percent advance, equal to 14.7 percent annually, has enriched investors from OppenheimerFunds Inc. to Goldman Sachs Asset Management LP that counted on Chavez's willingness to siphon the country's oil wealth to pay its creditors in the face of start-stop growth and falling reserves. While his policies drove away enough investors to keep Venezuela's borrowing costs over 12 percent on average during his tenure, or 4 percentage points higher than those of developing nations, he's never missed a bond payment.
"This is a really great high-income and high-total-return investment for your portfolio," said Sara Zervos, an emerging- market debt manager at New York-based OppenheimerFunds, which oversees $176 billion in assets and has invested in Venezuelan notes for more than a decade. "Chavez hasn't done a lot of good for his country, but he has the objective to service the bonds. Our interests are aligned."

Detect hardware by hwdetect
hwdetect --modules # add these data into /etc/rc.conf
This step will save much work on following sections.
on my T61, here is the listing by hwdetect 0.9-1
MODULES=(ac battery bay button dock processor thermal video wmi cdrom \ agpgart intel-agp nvram firewire-core firewire-ohci i2c-i801 i2c-core \ evdev joydev pcspkr psmouse serio_raw compat_ioctl32 uvcvideo v4l1-compat \ videodev thinkpad_acpi pci_hotplug shpchp rtc-cmos rtc-core rtc-lib nvidia \ output crc-itu-t snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc \ snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore pata_acpi ata_generic \ scsi_mod ahci ata_piix e1000e mac80211 iwl4965 cfg80211 pcmcia_core \ rsrc_nonstatic yenta_socket usbcore ehci-hcd uhci-hcd firewire-core \ firewire-ohci ieee1394 ohci1394 sd_mod sr_mod)
SATA and Linux
If there are boot problems, try going from AHCI to compatibility in the BIOS. I don't really know what is going on here, but my computer works in compatibility, I haven't tried AHCI.
AHCI works with the latest arch release.
Intel 4965 WiFi
If you have the Intel 4965 NIC, simply install iwlwifi-4965-ucode, run depmod, and run "modprobe iwl4965" to activate. For wpa_supplicant, use the WEXT driver, not the deprecated ipw200.
The latest Kismet runs well on the iwl4965, but occasionally has problems changing the mode back to Managed from Monitor.
If you have the AR5212 802.11abg NIC all you need is madwifi. Install it, and the kernel module is ath_pci.
Hwd did not do the monitor widescreen (1280x800) properly, and it was instead doing 1024x768. In xorg.conf, here is the relevant section:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultColorDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection EndSection
For the framebuffer in /boot/grub/menu.lst, I just used vga=773 and it doesn't look too bad. It freaks out with the vga=871 or whatever number you need for widescreen. (Note from reader who owns new T61: This is because the hex calculation presented at first is not what you need. 1280x800 requires "vga=865" at the end of the "kernel ..." line in menu.lst; I put that in instead and it works fine. If things are okay you don't really need that much more real estate in the text session, but if anything isn't working when you're setting up the system I find it nice to be able to fit more text on the screen.)
The Nvidia driver has it's own way of doing resolution, but I didn't find any conflict between the xorg setting and nvidia setting, so it really doesn't matter. I think the nvidia trumps the xorg.conf, though. (Another note from reader: I did not find that the above modification was needed. Run "Xorg --configure" and "nvidia-xconfig." That will put an "xorg.conf" in /etc/X11 and another conf file with a different name in the /root directory. If you look at the contents of the two files and just edit the one from the root directory until instances of 'type 1' and 'dri' are commented out, then move it to the /etc/X11 directory, rename the original xorg.conf so it won't be noticed, and then call the edited conf file xorg.conf, you should be okay.)
Works great with the settings provided in the Pacman output
Driver works great, even with composite enabled.
When I have time
Don't have it, so cannot say.
- xf86-video-intel from testing should support the Intel video. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll report back when I do.
Power Management
Install acpi, acpid. Add acpid to the daemons list. Load module thinkpad_acpi. You might have to blacklist asus_acpi/toshiba_acpi, it doesn't hurt anyway. It should work, and is able to provide accurate information to such programs as Conky and GKrellm, as well as the Gnome battery monitor.
The regular way works fine.
Suspend/Resume technically worked out of the box for me, however resuming took about 2+ minutes, while my screen stayed off and my speaker beeped 2-3 times. Sometimes it hung up too. These changes seemed to have worked for me and where found here. Remember to remove the boot parameters acpi_sleep=s3_bios or acpi_sleep=s3_mode if you have them, they don't seem to be needed anymore and may cause the system to crash on resume.
T61p nvidia graphics and the proprietary driver
(You don't need to do the following any more if you have hal-info 0.20080508-1 or newer.) In /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi, change line 51 from:
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge></math> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore" type="bool">true</merge>
For the T61 with 140M and proprietary driver:
The above should probably work here too but is currently untested. If there's still breakage, try making the same changes to line 46.
Tested the T61 with suspend with the Nvidia 140M the above changes fix the suspend problem, but the wireless stops working, my fix right now is to
$ sudo modprobe -r ath_pci $ sudo modprobe ath_pci
Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery
The Rescue and Recovery partition can be /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2, not sure which this depends on
The following grub entry did work on my T61
title ThinkPad Rescue and Recovery rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
Fingerprint Reader
Install Thinkfinger
pacman -Sy thinkfinger
Update PAM configuration to accept thinkfinger as auth input. See Thinkfinger Configuration
The module is snd-hda-intel. It works, albeit with several unresolved quirks. The mute button works partially out of the box (it can mute but not unmute.) To unmute, press either the volume up or volume down buttons. However, one workaround is enabling the volume up/down buttons as Keyboard shortcuts in your Desktop environment.
--Edit: Since Kernel 2.6.25 the mute/unmute function works out of the box. Now it unmutes also!
--Edit: To enable sound you must unmute the internal speaker channel, and turn down or mute the microphone channels, otherwise you will get nothing but a squeaking sound from the speaker.
Note: this information is out of date for 2.6.28 and newer kernels. See the HDAPS wiki page and follow the directions there.
Install the the Kernel(kernel26tp) from AUR and add it into your bootloader menu. Boot the new Kernel.
Install hdapsd and tp_smapi from AUR.
Load the Modules:
modprobe tp_smapi modprobe hdaps
Start the hdaps daemon:
hdapsd -d sda -s 15
Built-in Camera
Install the linux-uvc-svn on community, version 211-1 is workable
Multimedia Keys
Use pacman to install xmodmap, then create a text file ~/.Xmodmap and put this in it:
these are for the pager buttons
keycode 234 = XF86Back keycode 233 = XF86Forward
these are the music changing buttons:
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
this is for the silver volume buttons:
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
based on which Desktop environment you are in you will have to edit your hotkeys to get it working, if you are in a WM that doesn't provide this functionality, try installing xbindkeys

Hi guys, hope you can help a newbie. im self taught and for my sins i have always used tables to layout (i know i know) anyhoo i have seen the light and am getting my head around HTML5 and CSS3.
So i have inherited a client and with them comes a website that was built by a former company, which uses…you guessed it…CSS to layout.
I understand the fundamentals of it, however when i have added more content to a particular page it has thrown the footer positioning out.
I have been trying all sorts of fixes that i have found so please forgive my sloppy code.
the website is aegpartitions.com and the original page in question is [aegpartitions.com](http://www.aegpartitions.com/maintenance.html)
i know it must be something to do with the wrapper class but im not sure on the difference between the .wrapper and #wrapper, and im pretty sure that there are too many div inside div.
[Codepen link](http://cdpn.io/twlBy "")
any help would be hugely appreciated, and i can already tell im going to be on here a lot. next thing will be @font-face
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
@Flippdesigns, I got your footer back to the bottom in two steps, first, I gave your wrapper a clearfix, I also got rid of the height in .right-side
i know it must be something to do with the wrapper class but im not sure on the difference between the .wrapper and #wrapper, and im pretty sure that there are too many div inside div.
denotes class while#
denotes ID, and I agree with you, too many divs within divsEdit: Here's an article from this site about the difference between ID's and classes http://css-tricks.com/the-difference-between-id-and-class/
Wait…didn't I do this already?
The issue is that most of the elements inside the wrapper are floated or positioned absolutely, which takes them out of the document flow &/or causes the wrapper to collapse.
The answer to most of this issue is to take the footer OUT of the wrapper, give it the properties
clear: both;
width:990px /* or whatever */
margin:0 auto;
A more involved solution would be to restructure/recode the whole thing as clearly adding content is causing some major issues.
Thanks to both ChrisP and Paulie_D (apologies for making you work twice as hard) i knew i had asked the question but couldnt find the original discussion.
Im a bit hesitant to restructure the entire site, especially as its live, and i would effectively be learning as i was going.
How do i give my wrapper a clearfix?
I think i will do this in the first instance and then when its fixed in the short term i will use this site as an education tool and restructure it properly.
From looking at the code i think its been built with sloppy code and probably isnt the best thing to use in an effort to learn CSS layout
sorry guys still struggling with this, its almost there on most of the site but not on the homepage or the Maintenance page.
I removed the styling from the footer apart from the font and removed the height from the right-side as suggested but it threw the layout completely, it moved the whole site to the right and left all thetext in the centre.
if i can just get the home page and the maintenance page to look the same as the Products page then im good to go, i just cant figure out why its not working for me.
my wrapper looks like this
margin: auto;
width: 990px;
min-height: 100%;

I'm really torn between the SE-535 CL Westone 4R and UE900 The UE900 is the most expensive option for me right now (The 535 + Westone can be had for much cheaper. Specifically the 4R). I currently have the SE-215. My ears are really sensitive to treble/sibalance.
For the price, I'm thinking the Westone 4R sounds like my best bet. But I'm also afraid that it's a boring headphone (when I hear flat/neutral, I think bland). Then again, I love the SE-215, and I think those have a similiar sound?
Yes, you should like the Westone 4R since it sounds great with or without amplification, depends on the Tips being used.

Gomarsall is determined to produce another commanding scrum-half display, having been selected for the 50-9 RBS 6 Nations opener against Italy ahead of World Cup final starter Matt Dawson.
Gomersall said: "There is always room for improvement, and you never produce the complete performance.
"We have things that we didn't do well and that didn't happen for us against Italy.
"Generally, though, it was a good performance and I was happy with my game.
"You have to look forward every time, rather than back. I learned a lot at the World Cup, I'm enjoying what I'm doing and getting better.
"I don't want to rest on any laurels, which I might have done about eight years ago. I just want to keep on improving with the team.
"I definitely feel the 6 Nations is a new start for me, and I'm really pleased with the way things are going. I'm working really hard on the basics all the time.
"The quicker I work and the quicker I make decisions, the faster my pass is. The speed of the delivery is highlighted by the need to get the ball away wider and faster.
"Everyone knows about the runners we've got, and the possibilities there. I'd have probably flung out a few dodgy passes in the past under pressure."

promotion of r«<-ipro cal commerce it was composed of rep resentatives from the agricultural manufae ing.commeicial & industrial interests gener ally without reference to any sectional or parly bias its principles and objects are now known a widespread influence and ihe formation of m-'re ban a hundred aux iliary leagues co operating in the diffusion of useful information and ihe advancement of our domeslic concerns are sufficient proofs of its utility and well timed establish ment it is now the duty of the central com mittee appointed by and in behalf of iiip primary league to announce to

strife or to excile popular commotion bul convents from all parties and aesnciaiions in all sections of the country have joined its ranks w;th a proper spirit of independence lo establish peacefully and permanently an union of interests distinctly american in opposition to those snti-naiional and unpa triotic dogmas which have lately been un dermining our character and prosperity as an independent and sovereign people 11 the two conventions which have been held in furtherance of its objects a harmony i of action and consistency of conduct were ; manifested which net only proved the borne league to be above servility to local ; and party prejudices but by the diffi.sion ! of a mass of useful and timely information and the fearless expression of sound and patriotic views an interest has been ev ery where awakened in its favor so that now its warmest advocates are among those first questioned its utility and derided the possibility of its independence the sta tistical acts collected in the coyrse of its i numerous meetings in this city aided by ' publications giving the result of their dis cussion to the people at large have essen tially aided in the formation of a

James Sensenbrenner, a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin, was on his phone at Reagan National Airport yesterday when a Democratic operative overheard him recounting a story from a church auction a few weeks ago.
According to Mediabistro's Fishbowl DC blog, Sensenbrenner recounted the story of a woman coming up to him and praising First Lady Michelle Obama. Sensenbrenner disagreed, and replied that "she lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself."
Michelle Obama has headed up the Let's Move! initiative, an attempt to fight rising levels of child obesity, throughout her husband's term in office. Despite Sensenbrenner's detraction, she has become quite the style icon during her time in office. And she's in shape, too! There's even a workout plan to get "Michelle Obama arms."
In response to an inquiry from Mediabistro (that asked, "Does the Congressman realize[s] that he, also, has a large behind?"), Sensenbrenner's office said "he plans to contact the First Lady's office to apologize for his comments."

Millen the male model
Millen is a self-centred, unemployed 35-year-old male model who
lives with his single mother, Wanda, a celebrity real estate agent,
in her $3 million Parnell mansion.
Millen receives an exorbitant weekly allowance, he enjoys being
styled by his mum, he cannot cook, he doesn't have to work and his
mum is his best friend and confidante ... in fact their
relationship is rather creepy.
We spent a few minutes with Millen between jobs ...
Hey Millen, how you going?
By Audi man! How you gonna get there?
So we hear you're a male model. What's the best job you
ever had?
Cleaning Mum's pool.
What's the last job you had?
See above.
We hear you're a bit of a ladies man. Tell us about the
best date you've been on.
I helicoptered a bird in to Stoneyridge Vineyard on
Waiheke once for champers and strawberries and then I popped her
What's the worst date you've been on?
I took a girl who I thought was 'the one' to Disneyland,
but when we got there all she could say was, "Is this it? Is
this Disneyland! It's for kids!" Absolute nightmare!
A little bird tells us you're a mumm y's boy - what do you
make of that?
Was that the short bird from Melbourne? Hey, mum's the
word, man!
Tell us more about your mum ...
She's sexy, generous and makes a lot of allowances for
me. She also gives me a weekly allowance. She's the celebrity
real estate agent, Wanda Phillips. You've probably seen her
billboards, "Wanda Woman".
How would you describe your mate Fasi?
He's a bro with a 'fro! Fasi's a stand-up comedian
now. He was sick of being the token brown guy when he was an actor,
he was always losing out on roles to Robbie Magasiva.
How would you describe your mate Jimmy?
He's a small wonder. The best dwarf I know. He's gunning
for a role on The Hobbit.
How would you describe your mate Glen?
Glen is a ninja with a ninja-like sense of humour!
And finally, how would you describe yourself?
Good sense in terms of fashion and birds.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas…yes, actually I am. As a recent transplant to the South Lake Tahoe area, as in one week ago new, the holiday season is something I am looking forward to with the excitement of a child waiting in line to see Santa.
For the past five years, I have been living in Houston, Texas. A place known for its heat and humidity, Houstonians are not accustomed to seeing too much of that white fluffy stuff on the ground. So, when I was first told about the Heavenly Holidays and the 13 days of festive events in a winter wonderland, I couldn't help but smile and start planning every second of my free time.
This will be my first Christmas away from my family, who I left back in Texas, and as I look at all the family activities incorporated into Heavenly Holidays, I can't help but think how my three little nephews would react. They would clamor to be the first children in line at Santa's Workshop Snow Globe, eager to sit on his lap and tell him all the new Star Wars Lego sets they put on their wish lists. They would inch closer to the ice sculptors, daring each other to touch one or try to put their tongue on it. Their tomfoolery would drive my sister insane, and the vision of this scenario makes me chuckle and look forward to seeing other families partaking in similar holiday fun.
Today, I couldn't help but notice how the Heavenly Village has already embraced a sense of the season with Christmas lights and wreaths decorating buildings throughout. Catching a glimpse of youngsters bundled to the max and attempting to stay upright on skates at the ice rink, I envisioned how the rink will look on December 29 and 30 as Olympic skaters, Jeb K. Rand and his wife, Jennifer, glide across the smooth surface, forcing oohs and aahs from the attentive crowd as they perform. I've been practicing my oohs and aahs ever since.
Oh, and did I mention the live music? Not one, but four days of concerts. I'm accustomed to music with a little more twang so I'll probably leave my two-stepping at home, but you better believe I will bring my head-bobbing and swaying to the scene.
All these grand events lead up to one monumental evening and the countdown people wait 12 months for – New Year's Eve. Forget New York City's famous countdown. South Lake Tahoe is the new place to ring in 2012. The electric "Fear No Ice – Rock N Roll†ice sculpting show, live music and interactive games all precede a breathtaking moment when a brightly lit Gondola is 'dropped,' signifying the New Year. A dramatic fireworks show concludes the night and the 13 days of Heavenly Holidays. I can't wait to see the sky over the mountains and lake lit up like the Fourth of July. I'll probably be oohing and aahing then too.
All-in-all, even though I'm two time zones away from my family and will miss them, this is going to be a truly Heavenly white Christmas and New Year's for me.

(Last Updated: Feb 09, 2006 at 10:33 AM)
Tibetan Tea has repackaged its unique sparkling tea product with brighter, more eye-catching colors. The flavor is very unique and originality is key in this market. It's basically a fine brew of black tea that has been enhanced with ginseng, guarana, and ginger root and sweetened with cane sugar. The result is a product that has a very distinct tea flavor and resembles a carbonated iced tea rather than an energy drink. Overall, we really enjoy Tibetan Tea.

Geckos Help Develop New Adhesive
Back in 2000, research had shown that adhesion from geckos was achieved from forces produced by hair-like structures (setae) on each foot. Now Professor Phillip Messersmith from Northwestern University has come up with a practical usage for the concept. Geckel has the ability to stick to both wet and dry surfaces from coating fibrous silicone (like the reptile's foot) with a polymer that is likened to the "glue" from muscles. Messersmith envisions his water-resistant application to be used in bandages in place of sutures or patches and says that it can stick and unstick more than 1,000 times. Do you suppose they consulted Geico's mascot when doing the math?

This month, Cinema Asian America on Xfinity On Demand presents Duc Nguyen's Emmy Award-winning documentary, "Bolinao 52," a powerful account of the experiences of Vietnamese boat people refugees, and of one boat in particular, whose tragic circumstances magnified the challenges facing those displaced by the Vietnam War.
Following the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, millions of refugees took the perilous escape across South China Sea to find freedom. Many died of drowning or starvation and thirst. Other were lost at sea for days while some were pillaged, robbed and raped by pirates.
When Tung Trinh stepped foot onto a crowded boat, the Bolinao 52, one night in May 1988, she did not know it was a trip that would forever change her life. After leaving Vietnam, the Bolinao 52's engine died and the vessel was ignored by passing ships. Nineteen days later, the USS Dubuque came upon the ship, but its captain refused to pick up the dying refugees. Facing death, they resorted to cannibalism. After 37 days at sea, 52 of 110 survived. Two decades later, Tung, a Bolinao 52 survivor, returns to her past to close off its unresolved chapters.
Nguyen discussed the making of "Bolinao 52."
There have been many films made about the Vietnamese American experience, and in particular those of the "boat people," refugees who left Vietnam via the seas in search of freedom. Most films however have focused on the experiences of refugees after they settled into new homelands. In Bolinao 52, you've focused on the boat voyage itself as something exceptional. Why? What does Bolinao 52 represent?
DN: Yes, there aren't many films made about the journey Vietnamese boat people took, especially the ones at seas. My guess is because it is hard to talk about. For me, as a boat person, the journey itself will stay with me eternally. To make Bolinao 52, personally, is an act of "slaying the dragon" if you will. Telling this story helps me resolve the yearning to reveal who I am. And in effect, I hope it inspires other people to share their stories. Storytelling is an important tool in the behavior health field. We worked with many mental health professionals as well as agencies to incorporate Bolinao 52 into their work. We also used the film in educational settings. In all, Bolinao 52 is the voice that releases the reservoir of silence for the Vietnamese boat people community. It has been four years since its premiere on television. But its power continues to reach people in a magical way. I have viewers who have told me that although they have watched the film many times, each viewing has brought tears to their eyes. I can only guess that Bolinao 52 touches something very deep inside their psyche that they are unable to articulate.
How did you track down the survivors of Bolinao 52? Were there individual who did not want to participate in the film?
DN: Tracking survivors was an arduous task in making Bolinao 52. It took me off and on over two years to do it. I began with the names found in newspaper clippings of the story. But that yielded no results. Then I decided to employ the Vietnamese media in Orange County, California. I went on air through a Vietnamese language radio program. In that broadcast, I asked listeners to call me if they know anyone who were on that boat. By chance, Tung's (main character in the film) sister was driving to work and listening to the program during the broadcast. She called and informed me about Xuan Trinh, Tung's brother, one of the men who swam to the USS Dubuque during the encounter. So I contacted him via telephone but he refused to talk to me. After three months of begging him to meet with me, he finally agreed. His condition, however, was that I would never call him again after that meeting. We met at a coffee shop one autumn afternoon. He told me he didn't remember much detail of the trip. Nevertheless, he said he would ask his sister, Tung Trinh, if she would agree to meet with me. A month later she called and invited me over to her house. We shot one on-camera interview with her and that was when the film came to life. Overall, I spoke to about ten survivors. Tung is the only person who would agree to be in the film.

You and your family were boat people, and came to the US as refugees. How did this personal experience help shape or pose challenges to the making of this film? The film tells a story that began as your family's did, but ended in a quite different way – did this knowledge help you see the subject matter more clearly or possibly make it harder to engage with it?
DN: Yes, we were boat people coming to the US as refugees in 1980. Ironically, we were rescued by the US Navy in South China Sea. So this story is very close to my heart. For many years, I couldn't understand how a US Navy ship could refuse to rescue these refugees. And in no small part, it was a motivation that pushed me to pursue this story. My experience allowed me to make this film in a very true and honest way. As you can see, I incorporated my family's story in the film. But the tragedy that happened to the people of Bolinao 52 symbolizes the pain that Vietnamese boat people, specifically, and war refugees, in general, carry with them for life. And that is the rejection from a potential savior. For me, we were fortunate enough not to be rejected. So, the challenge for me was to understand this feeling and articulate it cinematically. Having Bill Cloonan, a witness from the USS Dubuque, in the film is a blessing because somehow he understood and has been carrying the guilt of rejecting the Bolinao 52 for so long. For him to reach out to Tung at the end of the film helped encapsulate this complex emotion. It was quite emotional for all of us, crew included, when we shot this scene. But it was such a catharsis afterward.
I understand that your most recent film, Stateless is a project that grew out of Bolinao 52; can you discuss what it explores, and its relationship with Bolinao?
DN: Stateless is an extension of Vietnamese boat people saga. The subjects in this film were rejected as refugees by the international community in the late 1990s when all programs assisting Southeast Asian refugees ceased to exist. The film focuses on a new hope when the American immigration officials returned to Manila in 2005 to review these forgotten stateless Vietnamese cases. We want to show the anxiety, the desperation and the hope in the subjects as they entered yet another round of screening on their lengthy path to freedom. The themes we want to explore in this film are rejection, acceptance, refusal, recognition, hope and determination. We didn't want to make a film that illustrates what it is like to be a stateless person. Rather, it is a film about a moment that could define your life. And for the audience, we want to demonstrate what it is like to be an outsider wanting to come to the US. Along with Bolinao 52, Stateless, aims to reveal the arduous journey of coming to America.
What are you working on now?
DN: Currently, I'm working on a love story. A change of wind perhaps? (inside joke). It's not a story about falling in love however. But it is a story about being true to one another. It's about the role each person is willing to take in a relationship through good or bad times. That is all I could say about this for now. We are working on finding financing as well as developing the story. So it is still early to talk about it. But stay tuned.

Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed the FA are giving off conflicting signals in the way they handle disciplinary cases.
Rio Ferdinand starts a four-match ban on Sunday after a disciplinary panel ruled on Thursday that he had no basis to challenge the violent conduct charge brought against the Manchester United defender for his attack on Hull City's Craig Fagan at Old Trafford last week.
"There are conflicting ways in which these decisions are being viewed," said Ferguson.
"I watched the game between Leyton Orient and Charlton on Monday and there was an elbow on the Charlton player three times as he was running with the ball.
"But nothing has happened with that.
"There is a lot of confusion there, although we accept that Rio is banned."
Ferdinand was hit with an additional penalty, tagged on to the automatic three-game suspension, meaning he will miss the weekend blockbuster at Arsenal, plus Premier League games next month against Portsmouth, Aston Villa and Everton.
Although the decision was hardly a surprise as it seemed Ferguson had taken a calculated gamble to lodge an appeal that allowed Ferdinand to face Manchester City in Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final.
