2500k still kicks is ass in almost everything though, it's definitely not a bad CPU for some things but could/will bottleneck in CPU intensive games due to poor ICS.
Maybe in games, I wouldn't say it kicks its ass in everything
I do have hopes that future apps, games, and OS's will take better advantage of the 8 cores.
2500k still has better overclocking headroom and doesn't take as much power, I just find it a strange that you clearly bought the computer with gaming in mind yet bought a processor that will bottleneck the 570s, looks like you should of done a bit more research.
Again, I do more than play games.
I knew that the 2500k was better for gaming.
But the 2500k is only very slightly worse than the 8120 when all cores utilized in only a few things which is pretty much removed when you consider the 2500ks overclocking prowess anyway.
Since my main rig is down/exploded/being replaced, here is my laptop in its current state.
:| Who cares, atleast it was cheaper.
Facepunch is turning me into an arse.
Repost for new thread why not:

Having an opinion doesn't make you an ass, insulting someone else for having an opinion that is different than yours makes you an ass, but you haven't done that so far.
Well, as far as I know you haven't.
Those statements aren't opinion though, they're fact.
They are opinion, because the 2500K does not beat the 8120 in every way shape and form.
Debate-able with facts.
In other words. Opinion.
But with facts and not opinion.
Both of you shutup this isnt CPU vs CPU thread.
Ooh, a shiny new thread
Better post my shiny new build:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Akasa Venom

Boot SSD: 2xOCZ Agility 3 60GB RAID 0
Other SSD: OCZ Vertex 1 30GB
Case: NZXT Phantom
PSU: Corsair HX 750W Modular 80+Silver
I really like that heatsink, which is weird because yellow is usually a huge turnoff to me.
Anyone know where to get Bitfenix cases? Anyone I see with them is Canadian or European
If you go their website you can find a list of stores that sell them.
They also have their official store listed as well, so you might want to just order through them.
Its been down for weeks.
From this:
to this:
My old mainboard broke and I bought a new one, with new RAM and CPU.
At the same time I had to RMA my GTX 460.
I will fix the cable management when my new GPU arrives and I need a new CPU Cooler.
get an extender for the CPU power. Would help management much more
Or unscrew the right part of the motherboard, route the CPU power under the motherboard and screw the board back in place, should be easy with stand-offs.
Now sleeve every single wire on your PSU and you're a hero.
I never liked the single sleeving. Makes it looks much more of a mess
Processor: Intel i7 920 @ 3.2GHz
Motherboard: Asus Rampage II Gene
Ram: Corsair 6gb dominator 1600Mhz
Graphics card: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2GB
Power supply: Corsair 850TXV2 850 watt
And chassi: Cooler Master CM 690 NVIDIA Edition
you managed to even make your post ricer
Ok, I don't know why I did that. Going to edit it now.
Dear god man, all that green.
to be honest, this is just ugly looking
and holy shit that aftermarket cpu heatsink looks terrifying
get something that doesn't look like a spaceship, not as annoying to work wth
Yeah, but what? I like the design on the outside. But its pretty ugly inside.
And, I don't really care that much how my CPU cooler looks like. But I can't say it's beautiful.
But, right now I can't put money to make my computer looking better. I'm going to buy Razer Tiamat 7.1.
For a moment i though he put an AMD card into that Nvidia edition case because of the red PCB

Design Computing Student's Work on Apple App Store
20 November 2012
Third-year Bachelor of Design Computing Student Ronan Brett has today unveiled the new Design Computing End of Year Festival iPad app, available through iTunes and the App Store
The app, titled 'Organised Cacophony', highlights the student works that will be presented this year in conjunction with the Rocks Popup Festival.
"In less than two months, I learnt how to make an iPad app - I'd never coded in that language before," Brett said.
"My lecturers were very helpful and provided advice on design elements, user interaction and gave me the freedom to work independently and with support from Apple."
The app was developed as an independent study unit, a study option that enables Bachelor of Design Computing students to apply their skills to a project of their choice.
You can download a copy of the App from iTunes or from an iPad
The End of Year Exhibition opens this Thursday with a launch party at 6:00pm. The exhibition continues until 6 December 2012. Check the Organised Cacophony site for more information.

NEW YORK, Monday—It was sad indeed to see my daughter and her husband leave yesterday afternoon, but we had had a delightful time together. I can look forward to a real visit with them again in the spring in Seattle, when I shall see the children as well. Perhaps the nicest things come to us only occasionally to keep us from becoming spoiled!
I returned to a very pleasant few minutes at tea with Mrs. Leigh-White. She is on her way to South America to further the organization of Girl Scouts. I think this is a very important tour and Mrs. Leigh-White, who is an Englishwoman and has been interested for many years in the international aspects of the Girl Scout movement, is doing the whole organization a great service by undertaking it.
Mrs. William Brown Meloney also arrived at tea time to stay a few days and it is wonderful to have her well enough for a visit. In the evening, the President and I, with quite a large party, attended the benefit performance for the Infantile Paralysis Fund given by Miss Jane Cowl and her company in their play: "Old Acquaintance."
We all enjoyed the play. It is well cast, both Miss Cowl and Miss Wood play their parts so that you almost forget you are not actually living through the scenes. The lines are delightful and it is gay in spite of the acceptance of the fact that one can't get away from suffering. I have never been much of a believer in dramatic self-sacrifice, so I could not help enjoying Kit's remark to Deidre: "And what good will it do?"
They all came back to supper and we had a very pleasant time together.
Because the weather looked threatening and I had to start for New Haven, Conn., at 2:00 o'clock, I decided to take the train up to New York City last night. Here I spent a quiet morning and am now off on a busy afternoon and evening and another night train back to Washington.
I wonder if any of my readers are familiar with the research program which has been carried on during the past six years by Mr. Charles F. Reid of the College of the City of New York. He has been building up a bibliography of the territories and outlying possessions of the United States of America. This project has a bearing on national defense for it secures information which is of strategic and military value to the national program.
These bibliographies should really be in every public library, school and college in the country. A greater knowledge of the Panama Canal and our outlying possessions will enable our citizens to understand better the problems of national defense. The editor has done this monumental work as a labor of love, and I hope that librarians and teachers are going to be interested in the project because of its educational value.

CoSeal for Hemostasis of Aortic Anastamoses
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Surgery on the aorta can be associated with significant blood loss. Most commonly this is due to bleeding at the site of aortic anastomosis. Surgical bleeding is associated with significant morbidity.
One way to prevent bleeding is to use a special glue (sealant) after performing large connections on the aorta. The goal of this study is to compare the different methods surgeons use to stop/prevent bleeding.
The study team will collect medical information about patients before, during, and after surgery on their aortas, including the methods used to prevent bleeding. This information may help doctors improve the way that they care for these patients.
Condition |
Surgical Bleeding Aneurysms Aortic Dissection |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Cohort |
Official Title: | CoSeal for Hemostasis of Aortic Anastomoses: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study |
- reduction in intra- and post-operative bleeding for procedures using CoSeal for hemostasis [ Time Frame: from day of surgery to 15-30 days after discharge ]estimated blood loss/chest drain output; blood product requirement during surgery; re-operation for bleeding
- decrease length of stay [ Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks ]length of stay (LOS) in ICU, LOS in-hospital (admission to discharge); day of surgery to discharge
Biospecimen Retention: None Retained
Enrollment: | 150 |
Study Start Date: | June 2012 |
Study Completion Date: | December 2015 |
Primary Completion Date: | August 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Bleeding is a major complication of cardiac surgery, and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality [1-4]. Hemostasis can be challenging during complex cardiac surgery, particularly due to friability of the tissue, coagulopathy, poor visualization of the surgical field, and limited accessibility to bleeding sites [5]. Failure to achieve and maintain hemostasis and reinforce fragile tissue may result in additional bleeding, which can further reduce visualization, increase operative blood loss, lengthen surgery, increase the use of blood products, and contribute to postoperative complications and reoperation [1-4].
Postoperative bleeding is a significant concern in cardio-thoracic surgery. Bleeding, either intraoperative or postoperative, has been associated with extended in-hospital length of stay, reoperations, severe morbidity and death [12]. In addition to surgical technique, a variety of therapeutic agents are available to assist in hemostasis. Surgical sealants are used to prevent suture line bleeding when ligation or conventional methods are ineffective or impractical [13]. CoSeal® Surgical Sealant (CoSeal®, Baxter, Westlake Village, CA) is a synthetic polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer [11, 13]. The polymers cross-link with proteins in the tissue and begin to gel in approximately 5 seconds and set within 60 seconds, forming a strong, flexible, clear, degradable hydrogel that adheres to both tissue and synthetic graft surfaces [11, 13-14]. A secure seal is maintained through covalent tissue bonds even under high pressures in vessels, such as the aorta [15]. The gel is completely resorbed within 30 days [14].
Ages Eligible for Study: | Child, Adult, Senior |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Subjects for this study will be selected from patients undergoing cardio-thoracic surgery requiring a large aortic anastomosis. Both the retrospective and prospective study components will review the data of all procedures requiring a large aortic anastomosis in order to compare those in which CoSeal® was used versus other materials/techniques.
For the retrospective arm of the study, pre-existing data will be collected from the patient's medical records under a HIPAA Waiver of Authorization. For the prospective arm of the study, patients will provide consent to collect their data.
Approximately 150 patients will be enrolled in this study. Specifically, consecutive potential subjects will be evaluated for participation in this study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Inclusion Criteria:
- The study will include all patients undergoing cardio-thoracic surgery requiring a large aortic anastomosis.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with severe preoperative coagulopathy, connective tissue disorders and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) will be excluded.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Help stocking tank
Help stocking tank i have a betta splendens wich i got like a week ago i gt it along with a 30l i think thats around 8 or 9 gallons and im wondering wat other fish i could put with it. i was thinking maybe some tetras or some bottom feeders any suggestiions? |
Hi. I would avoid anything with long fins/ flashy fins. They betta will think it is another betta and will eventually fight it and kill it, such as lets say guppy's and long finned zebra danios. I would wait for the tank to cycle first and have/maintened good water stats. Water stats would be helpful too. |
yeah i have a heater and an undergravel filter i keep the water temp at 26 C and ie used all the water conditions i can to remove the chlorine, how long do u suggest i wait? wat do u eman by water stats? |
i was thinking of geting 4 or 5 harlequin rasboras and maybe a couple of cardinal tetras or neons |
The undergravel filter is a problem right there. The undergravel filter does work, but not as effectivly as a regular filter. It filters the water but to just blow the debris around the tank. It doesnt elimenate the waist's that it is sposed to. i would go and get a filter that is right for your tank size, for the fish's sake. The way i see it is would you like to swim in your own poop ;)...haha. Sorry about not being to specific. But what i mean by water stats is a test kid ( preferably MASTER TEST KIT ) which tests for kh, gh, AMMONIA, NITRITE, NITRATE, AND Ph. Have you cycled the tank? Here is what cycling the tank means in a non confusing way: Cycling a tank is pretty simple when you brake it down. The point of cycling a tank is so when u put your first fish in they dont die. When the fish poop, it turns into AMMONIA which is VERY toxic and kills the fish. If your going to cycle a tank with fish than get a few zebra danios or platy's/mollie's they are all veyr good starter fish to cycle the tank with. So, the poop it turns into ammonia, and then there needs to be bacterial colonies/bacteria in the tank which eat/consumes the ammonia, which turns into NITRITE, which is toxic to the fish also. The point of cycling the tank is to make bactera colonies to eat the ammonia and nitrite. When that happens, than it turns into NITRATE which is less less less harmful to the fish and you want to maintain it under 40. You know your done cycling the tank when you have 0 AMMONIA, 0 NITRITE, AND UNDER 40 NITRATE. I hope this makes sense I tryed to break it down so it would be easier, because it can be confusing! I hope this helps you out! Nick |
You should concentrate on the water stats and if the tank is cycled before you get any more fish :D I would avoid neon tetra's for at least 3-6 months. They are 'picky' on there water conditions and will die if in poor water conditions. |
WOw thanx so much guys so helpful ill do all that pronto for no peace thanks |
Yep no problems were all here to help! :) Feel free to ask questions. Nick |
wat should my pH rating be? and is there another way to cycle the tank? or can it only be done with fish |
There's nothing to worry about pH. Your fish will adapt.:D You can do fishless cycling wherein you put ammonia i the tank. Will post the manual shortly.:) |

Parenting these days is much more challenging than what it was a few decades ago. There is immense pressure on parents to perfect the art of parenting to bring out the best in their child. The good news is that both mom and dad are equally involved, which makes sure that every little detail is taken care of. One such critical detail, where both parents have to step-up their game is financial planning for the child. The biggest challenge for parents today is to muster the finances to match the mounting costs of education and marriage.
Consider this -a 2 year management degree at a leading management institution within India today would cost you at least Rs 10 lakhs. At an inflation of rate of 5%, this amount would grow to approximately Rs. 26 Lakhs after 20 years when your child will be eligible for an MBA course.
With children taking to hobbies like music and art as alternate careers, parents have to shell out a lot more on their children than the previous generation.
Not just education, everything comes at a steep price tag, be it the wedding that you dreamed of for your child or a new house or a car for him or her. While your child is doing his or her best, it may not guarantee a successful future unless you have planned to meet these needs.
The saving grace is that you can now count on a child education plan from HDFC Life to build a decent corpus over a period of time to provide your child a secured financial future. You can now choose from both Unit Linked and Traditional Insurance Plans according to your needs.
It is always a great idea to celebrate happy moments with important decisions - such as investing in jewellery or property around festivals. Similarly, wouldn't it be great if you celebrated your little one's Birthday this year with a life insurance plan which will ensure that the smile you put on her face stays like that forever! Moreover, it will act as a reminder every year and ensure you invest in a disciplined manner for your child's financial future.

When Mary Louise Salerno saw Jesus Christ in a bucket of pizza sauce, her instinct was not to alert the media or even to tell many friends.
She did not want people descending on her family's West Scranton pizzeria, and she did not want to invite critics or doubters of what she felt was a clear sign.
"To us, it was something special," Ms. Salerno, 65, of Old Forge said. "God smiled on us that day."
The image of Jesus has a history of unexpected appearances, from rocks and windows to medical X-rays and a tortilla. Add to that a sauce bucket at Brownie's Famous Pizzeria, a long-standing eatery on Luzerne Street. It happened on the first Friday of Lent.
Ms. Salerno was at Brownie's and talking with her granddaughter, 23-year-old Jackie Krouchick, while she made a pizza. Her granddaughter is a single mother who she said is struggling through tough times. Ms. Krouchick told her grandmother she worried she was losing her faith.
As Ms. Salerno poured tomato sauce from a white plastic bucket, she urged her granddaughter to keep believing. That is when she saw it, the image of a man with long hair and a beard in the leftover sauce.
Bill Salerno, the owner of Brownie's and brother of Ms. Salerno, said he was skeptical until he saw it for himself. Maryann Marsico, who works at Brownie's, said even an atheist would find it unmistakable.
"My 2-year-old grandson knows who it was. ... He just looked at it and said, 'That's Papa Jesus,' " Ms. Marsico said.
It was not lost on Ms. Marsico that Jesus appeared at Brownie's at the start of Lent, a holy Christian time that also happens to spur pizza sales because observers are not supposed to eat meat on Fridays.
"I will never cheat and eat meat again," she said.
The bucket was placed in a cooler for a while, and a family friend insisted on taking a video of the image, which was posted on YouTube. On Wednesday, though, Brownie's washed the bucket out with Ms. Salerno's permission.
The message had been delivered, she said, and she did not want the image of her Lord "just sitting there in a pizza place."
Mr. Salerno, 55 and also from Old Forge, said he is not a churchgoing man but he is religious, and seeing Jesus on that pizza sauce bucket was all the proof he needs.
"Jesus is everywhere, even in a little pizzeria in West Side," he said.

Focus: Issues surrounding the 2012 Presidential Election
You can hear audio of Jeff Crouere's interview with Lord Monckton here.
Our mission is based on the United States Constitution's original principles and not on any political platform. We are an independent "grass roots" organization representing the citizens of the Louisiana Northshore. Our focus is on the federal government and a return of political power to the people. The Northshore Tea Party is open to all who share our principles. These principles include the belief in:
Constitutionally limit government
Fiscal responsibility
Individual rights and freedoms
National defense and sovereignty
The Northshore Tea Party is located on the northern shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain in southeast Louisiana. The majority of our members come from Washington, Tangipahoa and in particular St. Tammany Parishes. The towns/cities of Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Slidell, Lacombe, Goodbee, Pearl River, Bush and Folsom are responsible for more than half of the Northshore Tea Party's membership. While most of our members are residents of the Northshore, it is certainly not a requirement for joining or attending a rally. We have had attendees at our events coming from as far away as Metairie, New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Mississippi's Gulf Coast. Anyone who shares our belief in limited Constitutional government, reductions in both taxes and spending and general fiscal responsibility is welcome to join our organization. Most Northshore Tea Party events are held in western St. Tammany Parish, with the bulk of them occurring in either Covington or Mandeville. Do you know of a good location for a Tea Party event? Feel free to email us.

No, Really!Ray Wert10/03/07 10:45amFiled to: Flying CarsCarverNoveltiesPAL-VGizmodo22EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here. It's a Carver. Wait, it's a gyroscope. No, it's both. It's called the PAL-V and it stands for Personal Air and Land Vehicle and it's supposedly going to be built very soon by a company named PAL-V Europe BV. What we think is it looks like it's the next flying car nearing production we fear will never end up being built. Based on the Carver One tri-wheel car, the PAL-V supposedly will use the same Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC) system that keeps the Carver going straight and true in turns. That system automatically adjusts the tilt angle of the cockpit to the speed and acceleration of the vehicle enabling what the folks behind this device-to-never-be call "a plane-like tilting before cornering." That's great and all — but how does it fly? Simple — all they need to do is drop a set of gyrocopter blades on top. Sure, why not? Jeez — why do we continue to follow this dream... ...when all these companies just continue to tease us? Whether it's Moller and their amazing UFO flying disc-car supposedly entering production, the X-Hawk supposedly ready to be ready by 2009 or the sweetly tantalizing finds of Google Earth — we just end up getting our hopes up and then have them dashed like leaves in the backwash of a jet engine. Heck, we even got all excited about GM's flying car marketing campaign — if only as an escapist fantasy. Maybe we shouldn't be getting so down on ourselves — we mean, Good Morning America just covered the Moller — maybe it really will be built. Yeah, we'll believe it when one's parked outside our door.

Local Wins Fedcap's Writing Competition
Local Wins Fedcap's Writing Competition
In celebration of National Poetry Month in April, Fedcap, a not-for-profit organization, recently announced the winners and honorable mention award recipients of its annual Words about Work!® writing competition and public awareness campaign. Howard Cohen of Rockaway Park was one of the winners.
Fedcap provides training and jobs for peoples with disabilities and disadvantages, and outsourcing services to business and government.
Fedcap invited its employees and those served by Fedcap to write a creative poem or essay that answers the question, "What does work mean to you?" This year's winners and honorable mentions included Howard Co-hen, Florence Jean Wiggins, and Elias Rivera.
"In today's economy, when many people have strong and distinct feelings about work, Fedcap has created a venue for expression through Words about Work! ® The entries reflect a unique perspective, since Fedcap assists individuals with disabilities and disadvantages to enter the workforce – individuals who have never taken workplace success for granted," says Susan Fonfa, Executive Director of Fedcap.
Howard Cohen of Rockaway Beach is employed at Fedcap as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. When speaking about his reasons for entering the Words about Work® writing competition, Cohen says, "I love writing, specifically poetry, and I love music – both put me in a different world. In my opinion, the creative process is one of the highest aspects of human behavior." Cohen's poem entitled "The Counselor" illustrates his belief in living one day at a time.
Cohen has been with Fedcap for one year and has been in the counseling field for 14 years. As a Vocational Re-habilitation Counselor, Cohen assists his clients to succeed in their training programs, and he feels that he learns something new everyday. He enjoys his interaction with his clients, co-workers and supervisor who are "almost like a family."
Although he has been writing and composing music from a young age, Cohen saw the Words about Works!® writing competition as a new way to express himself. He is also thrilled to see one of his former clients win the contest. Speaking of his former client, Cohen comments, "I feel a lot of pride at seeing him graduate, get a job and win the contest. It's a real full circle moment."
Elias Rivera, a custodian from Rich-mond Hill, has been with Fedcap's Building Services division for 12 years. An excerpt from Rivera's poem entitled "Work is Pride" reads, "Work will always be the seed from which all human kind can plant and wear as a crown and never have to bow down."
Rivera's dedication to his custodial career and concern for the quality of his work has earned him a working leader position, which means he leads a team of custodial workers. Rivera, who has both visual and hearing impairments, is an avid reader and entered the Words about Works!® writing competition to express his gratitude toward Fedcap for allowing him the opportunity for a better life.
Florence Jean Wiggins of Long Isl-and City has been employed by Fed-cap's Rehabilitation Services Dep-artment for over 12 years as a billing and data entry clerk. An excerpt from her poem entitled "What Work Means To Me" reads:
Wiggins, who has an orthopedic disability, came to Fedcap as a client and is a graduate of the data entry program. Since joining Fedcap, her quality of life has improved substantially and she has fostered numerous friendships with co-workers. Wiggins gives Fedcap credit for allowing her and many others to prove themselves in the world.
Wiggins, who will graduate from Hunter College this spring with a B.A. in studio art, is a role model to her family. She is proud that seven out of eight of her children attended college.
Always striving to go beyond what is expected of her, Wiggins entered the Words about Work!® writing competition to express her everyday experiences. While her day begins long be-fore she enters her office at Fedcap, Wiggins believes in treating everyone with respect and offers support whenever she can.
Dennis Nurkse, a former poet Lau-reate of Brooklyn and a poetry teacher, was the judge for Fedcap's Words about Work! ® writing competition. He is the author of seven books of poetry and has been published in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly and The New York Times. Nurkse currently teaches poetry at The New School University, the Stonecoast Master of Fine Arts Program and Rikers Island Correctional facility.
Founded in 1935, Fedcap is a national leader, a provider of comprehensive vocational services and an employer of people with disabilities and disadvantages. Fedcap, a not-for-profit organization, helps New York City work. Thr-ough training, jobs and outstanding services to business and government, Fedcap has helped thousands of people transform their lives and successfully enter the workplace.

The main part of this article relates to the last versions of Middle-earth's history, and as such may controvert parts of The Silmarillion. See Middle-earth canon for a discussion. This subject's portrayal in earlier or alternative versions is discussed in the other versions of the legendarium section.
The Vanyar, Fair Elves, Light-elves [1], 'Spear-elves' [2] were the first and smallest of the Kindreds of the Eldar. Under the leadership of Ingwë, the Vanyar (Quenya; IPA: [ˈvaɲar]; singular Vanya; adjectival Vanyarin; [ˈvaɲarin]) were the first to set forth on the Great Journey and the first to reach the shores of Belegaer; they sailed to Aman on the first voyage of Tol Eressëa and remained there permanently.
The Vanyar are the fairest of all the elves hence their name: the Fair Elves. Unlike the others who were attracted to the sea or the building and forging of things, the Vanyar culture seemed to revolve about Valar and Valinor. This is probably the reason why they choose to stay in Valinor proper centered around Taniquetil, the seat of the rulers of Arda, and loved the light of Valinor best of all the other places in Aman and the wisdom of the Valar, and why they were favored by Manwë and Varda and always distrusted Melkor. They are known to have had the greatest skill in poetry of all the Elves, likened to Manwë who loves them for it. Their hair colour was golden and their banners white.[1]
Vanyar are descendants of Imin, the first Elf to awake at Cuiviénen, his wife Iminyë, and six other pairs of Elves who were awoken by them. Imin's companions, Tata and Enel, later awoke groups of nine and twelve pairs respectively, and Imin decided that since his group was now the smallest and each group that he and his companions discovered was larger than the last, he would now choose third rather than first in order to make up the numbers. However, only a further two groups were discovered, leaving Imin's group of fourteen by far the smallest of the three Elven clans.
When the Elves were discovered by Oromë, each clan chose an ambassador to return with him to Valinor to verify his claims of its greatness. The Minyar (Imin's companions) sent Ingwë. Upon his return, his people were swayed by his testimony and adopted him as their king (appropriate, as the name Ingwë means chieftain in Quenya), and he led them with Oromë to Aman. Ingwë has since been reckoned the High King of all Elves, and became known as Ingwë Ingweron, the "Chief of Chieftains", and his people were known by the rest of the Eldar as the Vanyar. In Aman the Vanyar first dwelt in Tirion. Later, they came to love the full light of the Trees and wandered into Valinor or settled on Taniquetil. He dwells with them on the slopes of Taniquetil, beneath the halls of Manwë.[3]
After arriving in Aman, the Vanyar were rarely seen even by other Elves. Very few individual Vanyar are named besides Imin, Ingwë, and his sister (or possibly niece) Indis, the second wife of Finwë, the High King of the Ñoldor and the mother of both Fingolfin and Finarfin, the latter of which founded the only house of Noldorin Elves to sport golden Vanyarin hair.[4] After her husband was killed by Melkor in his attack on Formenos to attain the Silmarils [5], she returned to her people with her daughter Findis.
Unlike the Noldor, the Vanyar loved the light of Valinor so much that they never choose to return to Middle-earth save when many of the Vanyar marched in the War of Wrath with the Host of Valinor[6]. Though they preferred the peaceful light of Valinor, the Vanyar were skilled in the arts of war and were known for their fashioning of spears[2], thus they no doubt fielded a formidable army in the war. Ingwë's son led an armed host of his people from Valinor to fight in the War of Wrath. They returned to Aman, along with most of the Eldar living in the now largely destroyed Beleriand, at the end of the First Age.[7]
Galadriel was the granddaughter of Indis. It is to her Vanyarin blood that Galadriel owes her famous silver-gold hair.
The name Vanyar means 'Fair-ones' in Quenya [1], referring to their golden hair. The Vanyar often called themselves Minyar; IPA: [ˈmiɲar]; "Firsts"; singular Minya; adjectival Minyarin; [ˈmiɲarin]), their ancient name. This ancient name does not still refer to any of the Avari who remained in Middle-earth, since all of the Vanyar heeded the call of the Valar to come to Valinor.[citation needed]
Other Versions of the LegendariumEdit
In the earliest versions of Tolkien's mythology (see: The History of Middle-earth), they were called Ingwi, as they were the people of Ingwë, the High King of the Elves.[8]

Assisting Bioethics Committees : 3rd and last training session in Jamaica
© All Rights Reserved / Tous droits réserves
Organized by the UNESCO Office for Science in Latin America and the Caribbean, in coordination with the Jamaica National Commission for UNESCO, this session will bring together thirty participants.
Provided as part of a training course developed over three years to support the efforts of Jamaica in strengthening its capacity in bioethics, this 3-day intensive training will focus on the practical application of the principles contained in the "Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights "(2005) with the objective of ensuring the responsiveness of the National Bioethics Committee established in October 2009 in Jamaica.
Created at the initiative of the Jamaica National Commission for UNESCO, it is one of the six national bioethics committees to be set up with the support of UNESCO in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is the only established committee until recently in an English-speaking Caribbean country, and, after this session, will be the 3rd National Bioethics Committee in the world to have completed the full training course conducted by UNESCO within the framework of the project "Assisting bioethics committees" (ABC), after those in Côte d'Ivoire and Kenya.
Two training sessions already took place in Kingston in 2009 and 2012. This final session will be delivered by international experts, and will provide members of the Jamaican Bioethics Committee with a varied programme covering environmental ethics; bioethics and sustainable development; bioethics and the administration of health services; bioethical issues related to reproductive health; questions related to decisions to be taken at the end of life; and bio-banks and the ethical issues raised by genetic samples.
This session will include the presentation of the different perspectives of the functioning of a national bioethics committee, such as communication with the public, collaboration with other national organizations and multilateral agreements.
The project "Assisting Bioethics Committees" (ABC) of UNESCO meets the ultimate objectives of the participating countries to adapt training to the needs of each country and each newly created institution.
Set up at UNESCO's initiative to reinforce capacity-building desired by the "Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights", the ABC programme is designed to assist the participating countries in developing their national bioethics committees by providing their members with training and practical tools.
The content of the training, provided by the staff of UNESCO and the international partner experts of the Organization, is based on a series of guides produced specifically by UNESCO in this regard, as well as the "Bioethics Core Curriculum" also designed by the Organization to popularize international standards of ethics and human rights by promoting their recognition and local adaptation.
Special attention is given to the promotion of gender equality, both in the content of the materials used for training and also in the development of action plans and agenda of the new national bioethics committees.
UNESCO pays also particular attention to addressing the requests from African countries for training, as well as for capacity-building projects in bioethics.
Since the implementation of the ABC project in 2008, trainings have been successfully conducted in 9 countries, in Kenya (2009, 2010 and 2011), Côte d'Ivoire (2009, 2011 and 2012), Gabon (2009 and 2012), Ghana (2009 and 2012), Guinea (2009 and 2012), Togo (2009 and 2012), El Salvador (2010 and 2012), Malawi (2012) and Chad (2012).

The Great Barrier Reef
... big and small. We could see the movement of the reef and, as we swam over it, saw more fish.
We spent a good hour in the water with the guide showing us things like the giant clams, various fish ending with a Nemo spotting (clown fish to be more precise). This was really amazing.
After our first encounter, we got out of the water and had a little lunch. Then back in the water to look around a little more. ...
Wonga Beach
... The road we took was the same road the Qld Govt bulldozed in the 1970's causing widespread demonstrations and the birth of the green movement. Nice drive up through the world heritage listed rainforest. Went as far as Cape Tribulation where we took some photos (after eventually finding somewhere to park - people everywhere) and had lunch on the way back. Called into the Daintree Discovery Centre and did a couple of their aerial walks through ...
Day one. Arriving at Thala beach Lodge
After arising at 4.15am and travelling to the airport in driving rain and very cold temperatures, it was quite delightful to step out of the plane on the Cairns Tarmac. We collected an almost new Nissan Outlander (racy red colour) and drove to Thala Beach Lodge, set on a pristine forested piece of land near Oaks Beach. Our hut is comfy and quiet and set amongst dense undergrowth. I walked to the beach to check it out. No crocs that ...

Leech was dead to the world so we left her where she was. I had gotten up to me knees and it really wasnt that cold but then mum scared me with her undercurrent comments and the rocks started to smack against my legs as the big waves brought them back in. So we took a quick shoulder dip and then ...

That is not currently supported in the API. One approach is to make multiple API calls (one for each DomainID) and to union the results.

Alex Kovalev reaches a milestone.
Jana Chytilova, Ottawa Citizen
Alex Kovalev will become the third member of the Canadiens to play in his 1,000th NHL game this month when he takes to the ice against the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.
Defenceman Roman Hamrlik and forward Bryan Smolinski are the other members of the team to reach the milestone.
Kovalev becomes the fourth Russian-born player to play 1,000 NHL games. He could also reach the 800-point plateau in Carolina with a goal or an assist (337 goals, 462 assists).
Friday's game will be Kovalev's 163rd as a member of the Canadiens, making him one of the longest-serving Russian players in team history behind Andrei Markov (419), Oleg Petrov (365) and Vladimir Malakhov (282).

question about jump rope workouts
I recently started trying a jump rope workout, and it sounds great. It burns calories fast and is less impact-heavy than jogging.
I'm supposed to jump rope for 2 minutes, cutting out the little hop between jumps, but I keep faltering/stepping on the rope/etc! Especially when I get tired! I'm worried that I'm not getting a good workout this way, so I started penalizing myself 10 seconds for every mess up until I was doing it for about 4 minutes and REALLY frustrated.
Does anyone else jump rope during workouts? How do you handle the little mess ups? Will it get better? Am I just really uncoordinated?
Here's a link to the workout on SELF.com:
Sun. Apr 15, 4:47pm
I jump rope as part of my warm-up for martial arts classes. It's just a coordination glitch - don't punish yourself, you'll catch on soon enough. Also, make sure you've got plenty of space including ceiling clearance, because trying to restrict yourself to one very specific little area makes it even harder. Then, when you've got the basic skipping mastered, you can get all fancy by crossing your arms and stuff to relieve the boredom of basic jumping.
Sunday, April 15, 2007, 5:01 PM
I agree. I jumprope from 20-30 mins. Trick is jump only high enough to clear the rope-that's not high-then concentrate on getting your rythym. When tired, I do sidesteps while making crazy 8s w/the rope and then stepping back in. Stick w/it-it's a great w/o and goes by fast.
Sunday, April 15, 2007, 10:03 PM
I hate to sound rude, but did you make sure you have the right size rope? And did you get the beaded one recommended? They're better if you're beginning. But really, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have the right size- otherwise it will always be awkward.
I'm trying to skip more often- when I trip up I just keep going...
Sunday, April 15, 2007, 10:42 PM
i just recently started jump roping to because i heard it burns major calories....i just add the little jump in between but do it for longer than 2 minutes!!!
Monday, April 16, 2007, 8:38 AM
Have you ever seen or know anything about a jumpsnap? It is a ropeless jump rope but works in the same way?
Thursday, March 06, 2008, 12:54 PM
I have been jump roping and I have seen changes in many areas.
Thursday, March 06, 2008, 1:27 PM
I'm curious to the changes you've seen from jumping rope. Is this someting new you've added to your routine?

Snooki and Jersey Shore Kids to Help Restore the Shore
The cast of the reality show is getting together with MTV to help rebuild their beloved Seaside Heights after Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy has left a path of destruction throughout the northeast region, one of the most affected areas being the Jersey Shore. The famous boardwalk is demolished and many of the Shores most memorable attractions and rides now sit in the Atlantic Ocean. A devastating blow for many, but this leaves us also wondering, how does the cast of Jersey Shore feel and are they doing anything to help rebuild their beloved Seaside Heights, which they called home summer after summer for the past few years?
The answer is, yes. Snooki helped raise $7 million for relief efforts on Good Morning America:
Wow GMA raises 7 million! Thank you everyone for calling in!!! ❤
— NiC0LE P0LiZZi (@snooki) November 5, 2012
She is also encouraging her followers to donate what they can to those in need in Staten Island, an area greatly affected by Sandy. Many residents of SI have lost everything.
Help donate cleanin supplies,gloves,brooms,batteries,flashlights 2 help people rebuild their homes on SI u can drop them off@ 401 Guyon ave
— NiC0LE P0LiZZi (@snooki) November 5, 2012
The new mom also revealed that her and her castmates will be coming together with MTV for a telethon to help raise more funds to help restore the Jersey Shore. "Restore the Shore" will be held November 15th, broadcast from New York City, which was also hit hard by the storm.
#restoretheshore! @mtv, @archforhumanity and I are coming together to help re-build Seaside stronger than ever. Join us November 15 on MTV.
— NiC0LE P0LiZZi (@snooki) November 5, 2012
Make sure to tune in to MTV on November 15th. Every penny counts.

Located in a narrow street, shielded from wind, we had a lovely late-night dinner here with local friends who recommended it. Wide selection of interesting burgers, all just over 6 euros.
I had a nice and spicy Mexican themed burger here but the big surprise was that the salads were clearly labelled as to which were vegetarian. You'll find in Spain that quite often salads have tuna in them when called "vegetal" but to find vegetarian symbols next to some of the salads meant we could eat here without fear of... More
Since it's not the first time I've been here, let's make a more general review. I'm not really a salad and vegetarian person in this kind of restaurants so, I'm just going to jump this part since I didn't try them AT ALL...yet. I've been trying hard to try all flavors(well, not all of them, as described above, lol) and,... More
Very good hamburgers with the Spanish twist. In my case it was guacamole and awesome spanish 'jamón'
Cosy place inside a little mall. A hamburger called Piamontesa was really nice: fresh basil, fresh and lovely tomato and meat was grilled medium. Also sandwish Bombay was nice. Reasonable prizing and nice stuff working - even the common language is bit missing.
After a most interesting exhibition at the Goya Museum, I came across this sweet hamburger place just around the corner where I sampled their 3 cheeses special with a side order of fries and instantly felt I made the right choice. A sort of down to earth pendant to the earlier cultural experience. Tasty, rewarding and cheap. Good service and... More
We were there for a lunch and we got very decent burgers, that left (at least me) full until next morning. The place itself I'd located very close to the basilica in a charming, very narrow street. If you need a place to eat and you don't want to look at tortillas anymore I'd definitely recommend it. They also have... More
Cebrian do great burgers. They have some house specialities which are pretty good. A personal favourite of mine is the chicken satay, it has quite a kick to it.
Craving a burger? This is the place. Giant burgers-very american. Very crowded but wait was not terrible. Outside seating but not in sun. Great patatas bravas. All in all-a good time!

My dance with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
It was supposed to be a routine annual physical, and that is how it started. Lungs ... check. Heart ... check. Prostate ... check. Everything was A-OK.
At the close of the physical, I pointed out a swollen place on my neck. I thought it was a fatty tumor.
"I'm going to send you to an endocrinologist," my doctor said. "He will probably do a biopsy."
About that time, the nurse brought in the results from my complete blood count. My white blood count was high, way high. "No. I'm going to send you to an oncologist," my doctor said, correcting herself.
Scary words indeed. Something I never thought I'd hear nor wanted to hear in December 2006. "What do you think it is?" I asked.
My doctor suggested it was chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
She felt really bad for giving me the news. I hugged her and told her it was OK. She was right.
Six days later, I saw an oncologist who confirmed my chronic lymphocytic leukemia diagnosis, but ran further tests to verify it. Thus began my dance with cancer.
My first seven years of CLL treatment
In reality, my journey began like that of many other CLL patients -- with a routine checkup. Until lumps or swollen lymph nodes appear or the white blood count is off the charts, CLL usually goes undetected. Once discovered, many patients are only watched for continued progress until treatment is needed, perhaps years down the road.
I wasn't one of those patients. I started chemotherapy before the end of the year. After four monthly cycles of treatment, everything was under control, and it stayed that way for nearly 18 months.
Then, I heard the words whispered in my ear by the resident demon, "I'm ba-a-a-ak."
I underwent more chemo, received new drugs and saw a new oncologist. Soon, I was in remission again, and life was good.
But less than a year later, the voice sniggered in my ear again. New treatments, new drugs, same oncologist, shorter periods of remission before the voice returns. And so it has continued for the last seven years.
People sometimes ask me how I've endured seven years of struggling with CLL and chemotherapy. There is no simple answer to that question. Many elements are involved, including, but not limited to: great doctors and nurses, a very loving and protective wife, understanding employers, much prayer from around the world and my own strong Christian faith.
Coming to MD Anderson for CLL treatment
The last time the voice told me my CLL was back, it never left. After four cycles of the last drug available to my oncologist, remission was a distant dream.
This is when I began my love affair with MD Anderson and the wonderful people here. The doctors, PAs, nurses and support personnel have been knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, understanding and very helpful every step of the way. The counselors have helped us find affordable local housing. And Blanche Anderson, a clinical studies coordinator, has guided my wife and me through the daunting process of selecting a clinical trial.
Currently, my wife and I are looking at a clinical trial for a new and promising drug. Hopefully, by the time you read this, I will be in the program. After that, a stem cell transplant is likely, giving me and my wife the hope of a cure for my CLL.
I pray that my experiences with both a drug trial and a transplant will not only provide me with a long, happy life, but will help others achieve cures as well. MD Anderson is probably the best place in the United States to bring all of this to pass because of its dedication to research and the healing arts.

Celebrate Lucille Ball's 100th birthday with TV marathons
August 5th, 2011, 9:00 pm by PETER LARSEN, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERLucille Ball, comedic genius, savvy businesswoman and genuine Hollywood icon, was born 100 years ago on Aug. 6, 1911. Best remembered for her classic '50s television series "I Love Lucy," she also appeared in radio shows, dozens of movies and three additional "Lucy" series. And so to mark her centennial several TV and radio networks are digging into the archives to present a broad sampling of Ball's work this weekend.
Turner Classic Movies will run a marathon of 14 movies on Saturday, including 1954's "The Long, Long Trailer" with then-husband Desi Arnaz, "Du Barry Was A Lady" with Red Skelton, and "Stage Door" with Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Adolph Menjou.
The Hallmark Channel, meanwhile, will run 48 episodes of "I Love Lucy" (including repeats) on Saturday and Sunday, many of them featuring story lines that took Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, and Fred and Ethel Mertz, on the road to Hollywood or overseas to Europe.
And, if you're into the old-timey radio, Sirius satellite radio has created a special "Redhead Radio" channel that will broadcast all weekend from Lucy Fest in Ball's hometown of Jamestown, N.Y., with programming that includes episodes of "My Favorite Husband," the 1940s radio comedy that served as a template of sorts for "I Love Lucy" on TV.

Let me taste you

Posted Sun 20th of March 2011
Feedback please?
I walked right by her noticing she had looked my way. I saw her outfit, how tight it was. The material clung to her full frame like second skin and that made me peek her way a second time. She continued her conversation playfully licking her lips and glancing my way. I pretended not to see her as her hair swept her shoulder while her head nodded. I don't have time for any more hook-ups I thought heading to my seat. I just wanted to eat dinner in peace and contemplate this last hookup. I am so tired of men leaving me, I swear if I had a dollar for every breakup. I leafed through my menu as the soft tone of Barry White filled the restaurant's atmosphere.
"From the lady in the blue," the waiter said placing a glass of red wine and card down in front of me. Umm this lady is really persistent. I put down the menu, raised the glass in her direction, and smiled. When I looked down at the card it read: Let me taste you.
Now, I'm not one to have relationships with woman but the way this lady looked at me was different. I stared into her eyes as she mouthed that her date had left. She reached over and picked up a piece of ice out of the champagne bucket. She slowly guided the ice around her lips and down her chin all while looking at me. It was the two of us in that section of the restaurant, alone, she had my full attention.
She trailed the ice down her chest and cleavage licking out her tongue, then back up to her mouth. She played with the ice in her fingers with her tongue, flicking and sucking on it. Watching her made the temperature rise between my thighs. I started to imagine her tongue caressing my pearl, moving in and out of my wetness. My face was still but under the table my juices had already started to flow. She watched me and made every inclination that she wanted to be inside me. I couldn't believe no one around us saw her; honestly I don't even care because I wanted to feel her. She started to make her way over to my booth, walking slow and sexy.
" I told my date to leave," she said in a smooth sexy voice that made the inside of my thighs shake. She scooted in closer to me in the booth and whispered in my ear, " I told him to leave so I can taste you." I squeezed my insides tight, contracting my muscles. Holding the menu up in front of her she started to ease her tongue in my mouth. I exhaled loudly as her tongue traced a line down my neck. She kissed down my neck and to my shoulder nibbling softly as she went down. " If you don't want me to taste you tell me" she said looking into my eyes now. I kept my eyes diverted because half of me couldn't believe what was going on. " Okay I will," she smiled lowering her fingers under the table. I let out a moan as her fingers found their way between my thighs. " Nice and wet" she moaned leaning into me " That's how I love it." Pulling my panties to the side she started to finger me with slow strokes. I put my head back and closed my eyes enjoying every moment of pleasure. Her two fingers parted me to let one massage my essence. I started to shake and she slowed down the pace. "Not yet" she whispered, lowering her fingers to insert me. In and out she probed inside me then stopped. The waiter was at our table smiling. I don't know if he knew what was going on, I think he just liked to see two beautiful ladies.
"So, what would you two beautiful ladies like for this evening?" He asked looking at our faces. "Mmm," She started " I'd like something nice, juicy, succulent, and sweet." The waiter looked from my face to hers and started to blush. She scooted closer to him and eased her hand on his leg, " $50 to keep this area empty" she looked from his face to her purse. Pulling out a crisp fifty dollar bill and putting it into his pocket pressing down on the print in his black slacks. He let out a small moan revealing his pleasure as she began to lightly stroke him from the outside of his pants. She ran her hand down his leg and he agreed.
" So now that we're alone," she started " let me taste how sweet you are." She eased her body under the table, pulled my panties off, and spread my legs apart. Then she started to kiss from the side of my knee up to my spot. She ran circles around my jewel, slowly brining me into her mouth. She kissed my vertical lips and ran her tongue around my spot. It felt so good that I grabbed her head and began to stroke her hair. I ran my fingers through her hair as she started to finger me under the table. She played with my clit just as she did the ice with her tongue. My eyes rolled to the back of my head when she pressed down on my g-spot with her finger, while licking up my honey.
She got back in her seat and started to feel on my breast. " You taste so good," she said exposing my breast. Taking my nipple into her mouth she sucked passionately. Running a trail from my nipple back up to my mouth she French kissed me. I put my breast back in, from fear of someone seeing me. It would be more acceptable to see women kissing than women having sex in the open.
" I don't want to stay here, follow me home, " she suggested while taking up her purse. She waited for me to follow but I hesitated. Then without another word I grabbed my purse and followed her out the door.
Back at her place she introduced herself as Karen. I thought it was strange for her to sexually taste me, and then tell me her name but hey; it wasn't my rules I was going with the flow. Karen led me to her bedroom and I got an eyeful. She had decorated her walls deep blue; her floors were plush and black. The bed matched the black and blue in the room with big fluffy pillows and satin sheets. Walking into the room she started to take her clothes off and instructed me to do the same thing. I took in her naked body, my eyes roaming from top to bottom. Her breast were full and sexy, thick thighs, nice plump ass, and pretty feet. This girl was so sexy, I know she could have any man she wanted but she wants me. "Leave on your panties and bra, I want to take them off" she told me walking over to me as I undressed. I exposed my matching red bra and panty set, her eyes widen at the sight of my body.
She came up behind me and started to kiss my neck and down my shoulder, pulling one bra strap down. Then she kissed the other side pulling both straps down. She uncovered my hardened nipples and continued to kiss down my body. She got down on her knees and licked her way down the center of my back. I stepped out of my panties and faced her. I couldn't explain what had gotten over me but what I was going through with her felt so right. Backing me into her dresser she stayed on her knees and draped my legs behind her shoulders. She took me into her mouth once more licking deeper this time, with more passion. She licked down my thighs and to my belly button and I enjoyed it. She flicked my engorged clit with her tongue while she stroked my nipples with her fingers.
My body started crashing with moan after moan as she sucked my jewel. She began to finger me; in and out her fingers explored my insides. She took her two fingers and licked my juices off and stuck them back in soaking her fingers once more. Grinding my body on her mouth and fingers I started to come. She held my body close to her as I eased away from her. The feeling was so powerful I couldn't control how hard I had come. My chest heaved and I uncontrollably knocked her perfumes off her dresser top. I searched for something to grab as my knees buckled around her head; but she continued to stoke my g-spot and suck on me. I grabbed a lock of her hair as I started to come down from my orgasm. I lay limp on top of her dresser as she licked the rim of her lips staring in my eyes.
When my breathing stabilized I spread her body on the floor and started to kiss her. "No, I just wanted to taste you tonight." She said blocking my kisses from her lips. " If you don't want me to taste you, tell me to stop." I looked at her.
She never answered so I used my tongue to explore her body. I listened for her moans and continued. I licked my way down to her thighs and her legs parted. I smelled her sweetness and closed my eyes and returned the favor.
When I woke up in the morning she wasn't beside me. She had been on the sofa watching TV. " Did you sleep well?" She asked me, standing to let me out. I told her that we had to get together another time; we agreed. I walked out of her house knowing that she's gotten the best taste of all, me.

I first tasted a woman when I was 15, she is a soliicitor who lives in our village, attractive, 30ish, and sexually very active. From my bedroom window I can see into her garden and when the weather is okay she likes to sunbathe and masturbate.
I had cut her lawns and hedges and she was naked by the pool the whole time and when I said I'd finished she looked me straight in the eye and said she wanted me to finger her cunt. I did it like I'd done to the girls at school and she showed me how to do it better for her and she orgasmed. She then pushed her own fingers into herself and wiped them across my mouth then into it. The taste was wonderful and soon l was fingering her very deeply and licking all of her cunt which was sopping wet. She didn't let me fuck her until I was 16 and now I'm 20 and getting in her three or four times each week even when she's on her period but I'd fuck her even then if she'd let me although I wouldn't lick her out which is really her favourite thing

Great story. It would have been better to describe her skin color more, like the size and color of her nipples and clit. I think it's amazingly sexy to see a Black woman's pussy - the beautiful hot pink against mocha skin and black pubic hair. The taste and smell is intoxicating. I have eaten out two Black women, and love pressing my nose against their clits and getting my face wet in that beautiful pink nest of womanhood.
