But will they go with the old idea of weaponized dinosaurs? (We hope so). Advertisement Deadline is reporting that Rise of the Planet of the Apes writers Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver are locked in for Jurassic Park 4. No word on the plot yet — but we suspect with these two on board, it will be a total overhaul. Probably a good thing.

Connoiseur BD1/BD2 belt
I'm on a quest for some belts for these puppies... maybe someone in the UK knows of a hole-in-the-wall store that has some of these stashed away.

Before you buy a belt, try making one with cotton or silk thread. Make a loop small enough that it puts a little tension on the motor pulley. You may be surprised at how effective it is -- the suspension of the motor is sufficient to maintain tension, and having only one compliant part rather than two actually may improve the sound. The knot in the threat shouldn't be a problem unless there is something dramaticaly different about the pulley than the usual pulley. If memory serves the old belt was a feeble thing anyway -- spliced and not particularly well spliced.

bd1 belts
Hi Dave
Great deck you've made there. Nice to see another Connie still turning. Top platter looks cool - is it acrylic? Technical and General are a light in the darkness for obsolete Turntable fans here in the UK, but these bits are certainly getting expensive. Echo Nat's thoughts on thread belt - fwiw I started with dental floss but my patience ran out with the motor suspension jumping around - ymmv (I was using the rubber bands). I particularly like the way your unit is self contained, handy for moving it around, so this may not suit your plans but - I took the motor off board - in a bean can filled with shot - helps to set tension spot on. Not perfect yet, but hey thats where the fun is. Now where's the sewing basket? Regards Colin |

India and Pakistan are going to lock horns in the much-awaited opener of the Super 10s of the ICC World Twenty20 2014. Abhishek Mukherjee tries to fathom why the contest is considered seriously.
Why so serious?
Really, why so serious?
This is not about Vinoo Mankad spinning a magical web or Fazal Mahmood doing things on a matting wicket; this isn't about India being mauled by Imran Khan, Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad, and Mudassar Nazar; this isn't about Sunil Gavaskar carrying his bat or scoring 96; this isn't even about Sachin Tendulkar's 136 or Anil Kumble's ten-wicket haul or Shoaib Akhtar's two in two.
This isn't about Bishan Singh Bedi calling a match off due to blatantly biased umpiring or Miandad's last-ball six or Aaqib Javed's hat-trick or Wasim Akram's special over to Dilip Vengsarkar or that Ajay Jadeja onslaught or that Venkatesh Prasad send-off or that Sourav Ganguly-Robin Singh partnership at Dhaka or that Tendulkar six over third-man or even that Harbhajan Singh six, no.
This is different.
This is the format where matches are decided by Robin Uthappa's bowling, followed by taking the cap off and multiple ostentatious bows…
… or by a terrible last over from the obscure Joginder Sharma: super-wide, wide (not given), six over the bowler's head, a terrible hara-kiri of an attempted scoop.
Is this an event as big as it's portrayed to be? Do we even remember that Lakshmipathy Balaji was India's best bowler with a spell of three for 22 in the last India-Pakistan clash in a World Cup? Or, stretching things to a global level, do we know that Craig Kieswetter is one of the four men who have won a Man of the Match award in a World Twenty20 final?
The question remains, though: is it worth taking Twenty20 international matches seriously?
Also Read
Between the two World Twenty20s (2012 and 2014) there have been 76 T20 matches; at the rate of two matches per day, this comes to about 38 playing days. For ODIs the count is 182 days (182 matches), while for Tests it soars to 335 days (67 matches). Even if we assume four-day matches for Tests the count is 268.
Twenty20 matches are the future of world cricket, they say. When the statement is made, do they mean the T20Is? Or do they mean the franchise-based tournaments played around the world? The latter may be an incentive for players (especially bygone or upcoming ones) as a regular source of income: but what about the international matches?
It's a repetition of the same thing, over and over: names like Albie Morkel, Aaron Finch, Richard Levi, Kieswetter, Jos Buttler, Alex Hales, and Samuel Badree keep on surfacing every six months before vanishing into oblivion; when they suddenly turn up on your television screen you often find yourself asking the question: Where have I seen this guy before?
There is a reason the International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to call the 50-over tournament the World Cup, but the shorter version World T20: the fact that there has been only one World Cup has a reason. Twenty-over contests are fine when it comes to sheer entertainment (where even seven-over bouts suffice), but do they really matter?
With the Indian Premier League (IPL) — arguably the most glamorous tournament involving contemporary cricketers — round the corner, does the India-Pakistan Twenty20 clash mean anything for the layman? The fact remains that India has won all five World Cup encounters and all three World T20 clashes against their neighbours across Wagah; however, can we really combine these eight matches and come up with a summary?
Let us face the facts: most of us do not remember that India had chased down their target of 129 with three overs to spare in the 2012 World T20; we know who won the last Orange and Purple caps, but will struggle to recall the highest scorer and wicket-taker in the World T20.
Let us not forget here that the format is the same 20-over one in each case. Let us face the fact that though people go ballistic during the various Twenty20 tournaments (the IPL is a major example), few really care for the international format, which is usually played almost as an afterthought on long tours.
Which is why this is not another India-Pakistan World Cup clash. It is another India-plays-Pakistan match in a tournament few people care for. Even if India lose this tie, they will still remain undefeated against their arch rivals: they have, after all, won all five matches — in 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003, and 2011.
The fans will watch the match, have fun, shout and cheer sixes and wickets, or in other words, do whatever they feel like. One thing, however, is for sure: they won't take the match as seriously as they have taken the World Cup clashes. Had they taken the T20I bouts seriously, defeating Pakistan in the 2007 final would have led to celebrations in Bandra or Karol Bagh or Gariahat similar to the ones after the World Cup 2011 final.
They are not the same. Why so serious, then?

Oracle Fulfills PeopleSoft Support Promise
Oracle The database software vendor delivered a new release of PeopleSoft
Enterprise Performance Management, Wednesday. Version 8.9 is one of the projects for 2005 that Oracle told PeopleSoft customers and partners that it would complete as part of its Project
Fusion roadmap.
Fusion was one of Oracle's selling points to assure PeopleSoft and JD
Edwards customers that they would not need to junk their legacy systems
any time soon. Oracle is expected update the rest of PeopleSoft
Enterprise this year. Next year, Oracle has promised to deliver
PeopleSoft Enterprise version 9.0 and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne version
8.12 along with incremental patches before it combines all of its
platforms into one super-software platform in 2013.
In addition, Oracle said version 8.9 takes data from PeopleSoft
Enterprise, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and JD Edwards World and sources it
into a single warehouse environment.
The latest PeopleSoft release also comes with more than 200
predefined Web services-based Oracle said the underlying infrastructure of the new PeopleSoft
application has been simplified with a single data movement tool from
Ascential Software. The new metadata management enhancements include a
metadata console so managers can quickly understand warehouse structures
and content.
Version 8.9 also has better integration between Enterprise
Performance Management and PeopleSoft Internal Controls Enforcer, a
compliance offering. Oracle said the improvement is good for
multinational companies that need to manage multiple reporting
structures for both U.S. GAAP and international accounting standards.
In addition, a major new feature to PeopleSoft Global Consolidations
focuses on compliance reporting requirements. The software captures
activities that affect account balances and provides instant audit
trails. For example, if an organization retires or sells a particular
asset, that activity can be tracked and noted, Oracle said.
Oracle did not disclose its pricing structure or upgrade procedure
for PeopleSoft Enterprise Performance Management 8.9.
completed the first leg of its plan to finish PeopleSoft projects that were underway before it acquired the enterprise software vendor.

I read here that Tiffanie plays these... Any chance you could post a comparison of the 2? Ive read the f100 tw review, curious how the q5 compares and the differences in comfort between the 2. I have the q5 demo now, it feels good but the demo also has full multi, which i would not be using in the real world. (would go poly/multi). Is their a substantial difference in comfort in the 'kinetic' system vs donnay xenecore. Ive had some elbow in the past, play daily and am wanting to stick with one of these long term. (using a volkl powerbridge 7 currently) Thanks!
Sure, I'll give it a go. Just as a side note, I haven't hit a tennis ball in a bit, maybe a month or so, because I'm just too pregnant these days. However, I've hit both of these quite a lot, and these were my go-to sticks before. I don't have elbow issues, but I find them equally comfortable, albeit in different ways. The Q5 has a crisper feel off the stringbed but remains not jarring on the arm, I would guess due to the kinetic system. I also primarily play with full beds of multi in my own racquets, but I played a fairly crisp multi in that one last and again found it be comfortable at all times. The Formula 100 has a more muted, dampened feel. I've hit this one more extensively than the Q5 just because it's been around much longer. I've hit full beds of poly, hybrids and full multi string jobs without any issues. It has a high stiffness rating but it doesn't have that jarring sensation that many racquets with high RAs have. Thanks, Tiffani, TW
awesome, thanks! tough choices. Did you keep the stock grip on the pk? it feels puffy if that makes sense, with a tourna og, it feels bigger than other 4 3/8s i have.
Yes, I left the stock grip on. I think I will switch it out for something thinner, too. I played with the 4 3/8 (the one I use is our "tester") and prefer the 4 1/4. I think a thinner grip should help with the grip size because it doesn't feel too out of line with other 3/8 grips. Tiffani
Haha, the few hours I get are golden. I have to say I'm not sure I'm ready yet for another round of sleepless nights. I got through once, and I will get through it again. On the upside, I might be able to tell you what is on the Tennis Channel at 3 a.m. Tiffani
Tennis Channel, almost forgot it existed. My two kids have "taken possesion" of the large tv and cartoons are "omniprescent". I have to see tennis after 10 pm, recorded, on the small tv or maybe if its a ATP final they will give me a break, just maybe...
thanks Tiff! good luck, keep takin the vitamins. Any other testers able to compare the comfort on these against my current volkl PB7? Any discernible difference?

Earnings News Will be the Guide
On the last trading day of the first quarter, tech stocks mustered a gain, but blue-chips ended down. On Thursday, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 22.97 points, or 0.22%, to 10,403.94, as it struggled for direction most of the day as gains in IBM (IBM ), Boeing (BA ) & Microsoft (MSFT ) were offset by losses in 3M (MMM ), DuPont (DD ), and Philip Morris (MO ).
The Nasdaq Composite index was up 18.61 points, or 1.02%, to 1,845.36, led by gains in big-name tech stocks such as Cisco Systems (CSCO ) and Microsoft. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 2.80 points, or 0.24%, to 1,147.21.
In the first quarter, the Dow gained 3.8%, the S&P 500 was flat, and the NASDAQ lost 5.4%.
The U.S. markets will be closed Friday for the Good Friday and Passover holidays. But when markets reopen Monday, investors will be heading into what is historically the best-performing month of the year for stocks, says Bryan Piskorowski, market commentator for Prudential Securities.
"It's a new month and new questions will come as the earnings season starts," he says. "We're likely to see more preannouncements." Investors have been searching for a catalyst to move the market higher. "Upbeat guidance would clearly bode well -- especially from tech stocks, which are in dire need for upbeat tone... It will be all about future guidance coming out," Piskorowski says.
A couple of economic reports will be watched closely next week. On Monday, investors will get the latest read from the ISM, formerly the National Association of Purchasing Managers. Standard & Poor's MMS expects a rise in the index 55.0 from 54.7. A rise would support the view that the factory sector is recovering with the economy.
Later in the week on Friday, market watchers will be looking at March employment report. S&P MMS sees payrolls rising by 75,000 and the unemployment rate rising to 5.6% from 5.5% from February.
Those reports come on the heels of Thursday's final read of the University of Michigan consumer sentiment numbers for the month of March, which showed continued improvement. The index rose to 95.7 from 95 in the preliminary reading. Current conditions reached 100.4, up from 99.3 preliminarily (96.2 in February), while expectations inched up to 92.7 from the preliminary 92.3 (87.2 in February).
In addition, a report showed manufacturing activity in the Chicago area region picked up in March. The Chicago-PMI manufacturing index rose to 55.7, up from 53.1 in February. S&P's MMS had predicted a modest rise to 53.5 from last month. The recent data have supported the view that the factory sector is in the process of recovering. Meanwhile, investors digested a better-than-expected revision to fourth-quarter gross domestic product ( GDP) growth, which rose to 1.7% from 1.4% previously. Finally, weekly jobless claims were worse-than-expected, jumping 18,000 to 394,000.
In corporate news Thursday, dissident board director Walter Hewlett filed a lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard (HWP ) for what he alleges to be illegal maneuvers by the tech giant to gain votes in favor of the highly-contested merger with Compaq Computer (CPQ ).
Juniper Networks (JNPR ), the No. 2 maker of gear that powers the Internet, cut its first-quarter revenue outlook amid ongoing cautious spending by its cash-strapped service provider and telecom carrier customers.
Drug maker Watson Pharmaceuticals (WPI ) said on Thursday its patch to treat overactive bladders was rejected by U.S. regulators.
ConAgra (CAG ) posted a third-quarter profit that beat Wall Street's expectations. The food giant said it plans to "modestly exceed" analysts' average for fiscal 2002.
Among Dow stocks, UBS Warburg reiterated its "buy" rating on General Motors (GM ) and increased 2002 and 2003 earnings-per-share estimates on belief GM can meet its profit goal of $10 by 2005.
Treasury Market
U.S. Treasuries finished lower in price following Thursday's raft of economic data that mainly showed improvement in the economy.
World Markets
European stocks finished higher amid a strong appetite for cyclical stocks that might benefit from the anticipated economic upturn and short covering ahead of the holiday. In London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index ended higher by 57.10 points, or 1.09%, to 5,271.80. In France, the CAC 40 gained 64.82 points, or 1.40%, to 4,688.02. In Germany, the DAX Index finished up 49.29 points, or 0.92%, to 5,397.29.
In Asia, the markets ended higher. In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index jumped 9.43 points, or 0.08%, to 11,333.11, amid buying before the fiscal year end. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index added 45.04 points, or 0.41%, to 11,032.92.

Victoria Beckham delivers a baby girl!
David and Victoria Beckham welcomed their baby girl, Harper Seven Beckham on Saturday.
So why Harper Seven?
Harper is an old English name that Victoria has always loved, PEOPLE has learned, and seven is considered a very lucky spiritual number.
In addition, Harper Seven was born Sunday morning in L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center weighing 7 lbs. (and 10 oz.) in the seventh hour in the seventh month ââ¬â on the seventh day of the week.
As sports fans can't help but also note, seven was David's jersey number for Manchester United and the English national team.
Speaking of numbers, the Irish bookmaking firm of Paddy Power has offered odds of 100:1 on Harper's following in dadââ¬â¢s footsteps and going out for the England Womenââ¬â¢s team. The odds of her becoming a singer in the mode of her former Spice Girl mom are 16:1.
Harper joins brothers Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8ý, and Cruz, 6ý.

Remember our Douchebag Decree recipient, Monster High? Prepare yourselves, because things are about to get weird. Mattel has announced a partnership between Monster High and the anti-bullying Kind Campaign:
Monster High™, Mattel's popular tween and teen-targeted franchise, which encourages girls to celebrate their imperfections and embrace those of others, today announced that it is partnering with the Kind Campaign, a movement, documentary and school program dedicated to spreading the message of kindness. [...] "The Monster High brand uses the monster metaphor to show girls that it is ok to be different and that our unique differences should be celebrated," said Lori Pantel, VP Marketing, Global Mattel Girls Brands. "We see our partnership with Kind Campaign as a natural fit because their message of kindness and acceptance goes hand-in-hand with the Monster High brand's message to embrace our own and each other's imperfections."
Uh... it does?
(Here's Reuters' copy of Mattel's entire press release. For lolz, I recommend 4-traders' copy, which translates "™" into "?" and is therefore riddled, appropriately, with the dubious-sounding question, "Monster High?")
For those of you not too familiar with the Monster High franchise, let's just say it's more about intense grooming routines, boyfriend envy and ruthless, sometimes violent competition than "spreading the message of kindness." As for embracing imperfections, do we need to re-watch that webisode in which everyone's horrified that an undead teenager has a pimple? Monster High is a world in which it's not "ok" to be different; it's basically unheard of, being that every female student shares exactly the same height and (tiny) waist size. Even Pantel's pat description of a "monster metaphor" for acceptance doesn't work, given that the characters' otherworldly attributes are described as shortcomings, albeit ridiculous ones. (The vampire can't look at herself in the mirror! The sea creature must moisturize!)
So, what is this Kind Campaign, anyway?
A movement and documentary, based upon the powerful belief in KINDness, that brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl "crime". [...] Every single girl has encountered an experience at some point within their lives in which they become aggressors or victims of girl-against-girl "crime". Physical fighting, name-calling, threats, power struggles, competition, manipulation, secrets, rumors, and ostracizing other girls, all fall under the category of girl-against-girl "crime". [...] With various media outlets that mock and even glamorize the issue, it seems that society has simply concluded, "That's the way girls are." We disagree, because we believe that there is goodness within all females, even if that goodness has been shoved aside by the pressures society has placed upon us. What we fail to realize and choose to ignore is the fact that these experiences very often lead to depression, anxiety, loss of self worth, eating disorders, drug abuse, alcoholism, attempted suicide and actual suicide in millions of girls lives.
When I see a female-driven group with a solid core message—eg. bullying is bad—I'm instantly tempted to support them and turn a blind eye to shortcomings... like essentialist statements about "girls," simplistic explanations for mental health problems, and ads for cosmetic anti-"blemish" products on their homepage. I'm happy to see acknowledgement that the media is preoccupied with rivalry between young women and that society encourages females to view each other as adversaries. Indeed, it's heartening that conversations about bullying are happening at all, between this small but already much-publicized group and Dan Savage's far-reaching "It Gets Better" campaign.
In fact, the two movements are similar in that both are potentially valuable but also clearly limited. Savage has been called out for acting anti-POC, anti-trans* and anti-female despite his pro-gay message; the Kind Campaign avoids discussing difference by presenting bullying as solely peer-to-peer rather than institutional. As a result, apparently white and able-bodied women are still put front and center... figuratively and literally:
Glancing at the above, the namecalling referenced includes a few sizeist, lookist and classist smears ("fat," "ugly," "poor") but racially motivated bullying remains unexplored, as does that rooted in homophobia or policing of gender expression. The failure to even allude to QUILTBAG issues is especially curious, given the media's recent focus on queer suicide. Only on the Truth Wall, for which readers are invited to tell their own stories, is homophobic bullying mentioned, and then only by girls who are angry about being called lesbians. (A typical example: "The only reason [the rumor that I was gay] spread [was] because we were playing spin the bottle and even though it landed on a girl i still had to kiss her (worst experience ever for me.)") In the end, the Kind Campaign portrays bullying as unconnected to prejudice and simply a component of girl culture that needs to be eradicated.
The question is, is Monster High really a way to take the conversation further?
In an interview with Jess Weiner, Kind Campaign founders Lauren Parsekian and Molly Stroud emphasized that Mattel will have no place in their in-school assemblies, a bit of good news for those of us worried about the insidious power of branding in classrooms. They also gave us hints as to what, exactly, this collaboration will entail:
The two of us are being animated into monster versions of ourselves and going into Monster High to hold a Kind Campaign assembly, teaching the monster girls: Frankie Stein, Draculaura, Cleo De Nile and the rest of the Monster High students how important it is for them to be kind to each other.
While I am, to put it mildly, not sure what this will look like, I can't help but be intrigued. Being that Monster High has thus far been very much an example of media that "glamorizes the issue" of women fighting, I'm rooting for a total overhaul once the Kind Campaign steps on campus.
In Monster High's Douchebag Decree, I commented on the franchise's depiction of the two women of color as the meanest. Interestingly, the most recent webisodes have featured the six main female characters mostly getting along. I would be pleased if not for the fact that the ghouls are busy stoking a rivalry with another group, a trio of werecats.
"Catfight" jokes may be the one thing Monster High and the Kind Campaign already have in common; check out Finding Kind's smarmy guys here.
When this webisode is released, I'll be watching, nervously hopeful. If everyone becomes all nice 'n' stuff, MH may still have problems—compulsory heterosexuality, absurd bodily proportions—but at least the characters will stop breaking each other's legs and shoving bags over heads.

4X4 Shops
Are there any good 4X4 Shops in Maryland that do good work for a fair price? I'm looking to regear my 2012 Sport S in the very near future.
Here's the ones I know of that we have either shopped with, worked for, or have wheeled with the owners over the last 15 years.
Hope this helps. :) 4X4 Shops: Adrenaline Offroad, Burtonsville (Laurel), Md: Jeff Jurgrau, owner. Great guy, amazing prices, installs available, mild to wild. We've known Jeff for about 10 years. Always supports the local clubs with prizes for holiday parties, special events, etc. Plus, he's a Jeeper and competes in the RCrocs events and is a life-long Big Dogs sponsor. Welcome to Adrenaline Off Road LLC. Adventurous 4x4 & Speed, Hagerstown, Md: Randy Wood, owner, Wayne Kendel, co-owner. I haven't had the opportunity to purchase from Randy, but we have wheeled with him. Amazing guy, always helped out at any large event we put on. From Wayne: "The Adventurous 4x4 website is going to be updated over the next few months and will have over 1000 products added to the site." Adventurous 4x4 & SPEED Appalachian Offroad, Westminster, Md: Mike Bosley, owner. Again, great guy, does amazing custom work with whatever you bring him: cages, axles, motor/tranny/t-case swap, buggy builds. They do it all and are extremely reasonable. Appalachian Off Road - DelMarVa Offroad, Salisbury, Md: Mike Ferrari, owner. Sounds like a broken record, but Mike will do whatever he can to help you out. From custom CNC machining to simple gear installs, as well as nearly any product you can find in a catalogue, DOR can get it for you as well as install it. Delmarva Offroad Mid-Atlantic 4x4 and Speed, Glen Burnie, Md Very over-priced, cannot recommend them as I've seen lots of shoddy lift installs from that place. If you need to buy hard parts, (U-bolts, Hubs, etc), they may have them in stock. I'd have to say they are a 'speed' shop first that sells some 4x4 parts. Mid Atlantic 4x4 & Speed 410-766-2727 MID4x4.com Trick Trucks Lots of these places around. Used to get my hard parts from the one in Edgewater since a buddy was a manager there. Fairly good selection on tires and wheels, used to have blems and tire deals every once in a while. Haven't been to one since the late 90's, so I can't comment on any current status of the business. Trick Trucks :: Truck Accessories, Equipment, Parts, Caps Specific shops: Perry Hall Power Equipment, Baltimore, Md Used them to cut down some axles tubes and rebuild a driveshaft. Good work, pricey, and it takes a little while to get stuff back. Good work though. (410) 391-2300 A1 Driveshafts, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. If you broke a driveshaft, need one lengthened, shortened or rebalanced, they'll do it. Great stuff. Annapolis Auto Parts delivers to their shop, so a trip to A1 isn't always necessary. A-1 Drive Shaft - Driveshafts * Front Wheel Drive Axles * Rack & Pinions Napa Auto parts Lots around. We get our Warn locking hubs there. Very cheap. NAPA Online |
I really cannot say enough good things about Jeff at Adrenaline offroad. Just had a bunch of stuff done at his place, the prices were extremely affordable, he finished in record time, and the communication between us was outstanding. Anything I do to my jeep is gonna be done through him.
Harford Tire on Rt 1. does good work, there's also a place right next to mid atlantic cycles. used to be called ECO 4x4.
Has anyone heard of Black Hat in Frederick or M & D in Purcerville VA?
Just had some work done at "Appalacian Offroad" and Mike does a great and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend his shop.

This whore at college....
When I was away at college, I'd often go to a couple nearby schools to visit friends. As was our norm, we'd party our asses off and try to get laid. Sometimes, we'd get so wasted we didn't even try to score, but not often. Getting laid on campus is easy enough, but sometimes, you get more than you had hoped for.....
My buddy Glen was the guy I was visiting that weekend. I got onto campus Friday afternoon and we started right away with cold beer and good weed. After we grubbed, we headed out for some serious partying. After a couple stops in other dorm rooms, we ended up at a frat house he was going to pledge in the next class. As usual, the house was rocking and loaded with girls. Grabbing beers, we started dancing with whatever girls were out there. I fell in with this one named Randi.
Randi was from a suburb near me up around Chicago. She was very pretty, short as hell....maybe 5' 2"....and curvy as hell. she had big tits and a big round ass. She wasn't fat by any means, but she wasn't skinny either....she sure filled out that top and jeans. I noticed plenty of guys checking her out as we danced. I thought I even caught some knowing smiles. After a while, we broke away from the dance floor and went outside for some air.
The cool evening breeze felt great and we were joined by a guy my buddy knew from his floor named Jim. Jim gave Randi a quick hug and slapped me five. We knew each other well enough from my previous visits and I liked the guy. Randi excused herself to use the ladies room, leaving us to talk.
"Hey, what's the story with you two?" Jim asked me. "No story, we kinda hooked up on the dance floor and I was hoping to fuck her tonight. Why, is she your girlfriend or something?"
"Fuck no, but I have been sort of working her for a couple weeks in class and was gonna make my move tonight." he replied. I asked if he thought he had a chance and he said of course. I thought I did too and told him so. He got this evil grin as Randi walked back towards us.
"So Randi, we were talking and it seems both of us were hoping to score with you tonight." Jim shot out of his mouth. I almost shit, figuring he was blowing it for both of us. He continued, saying there was no reason she should have to choose between us, that was should all go back to her place....she had a single room...and figure it out there. She kind of blushed and said the words we wanted to hear...."Let's go." We scrambled up to our feet and walked out thru the party. My buddy Glen saw us and gave me a thumbs-up.
We walked about 4 blocks to her place. There wasn't much conversation by any of us. Even though we were all lightly toasted, I guess the reality was hitting us. I had never had a threesome before and wasn't sure what was going to happen. Maybe she was going to choose him? Maybe neither? I can't figure women to this day and being 19 didn't help my thought process.
As we entered her room, she turned on a light and turned to us. "Guys, I have to confess....I don't want to choose between you. How about if we all got naked and you both fucked me? I've never done two guys and always wanted to, but you have to listen to what I say, okay?" We both nodded and approached her. I grabbed for her top and she backed away, telling us we had to undress first. We didn't want to blow this and did as she asked.
Standing naked next to another guy was nothing new to me....playing team sports and showering afterwards was passe, as was dormitory showering. But being next to another dude with a hard-on starting was something new. She looked approvingly at us and told us to come over to her. She dropped to her knees and put my cock in her mouth while grabbing Jim's rapidly hardening dick. She knew how to suck a cock and her mouth was like a little furnace.
As I moved her head on my cock, she switched off and started jerking me off while sucking Jim. She did a nice sloppy job with plenty of spit and gurgling. Jim took his cock out of her mouth and slapped it on her face. She seemed to enjoy it and I followed suit. Having two rigid dicks beating her face was turning her on like we flipped a switch. She stood up and told us to take her clothes off. We stripped her quick and asked her what she wanted.
"I want one of you to fuck me from behind." Randi told us. She got on the bed, on all fours, and reached under herself and started rubbing her pussy in anticipation. "You go first" Jim said. "I want her to suck me some more."
I got behind her and slammed myself up into her. She gasped and rammed herself back onto me hard. Jim got in front of her and invaded her open mouth. She gagged as he rammed into her throat. I met his thrusts towards me with a returning thrust of my own. We ping-ponged her back and forth really hard, with me slapping her ass hard with an open palm. As we pig-roasted her, she started to tremble and shake with an onrushing orgasm. I picked up my pace a bit and let her have it.
She started to come violently, her screams and moans muffled by the cock in her mouth. She bucked hard against both of us, slapping the bed in a torrent of pleasure. While she finished, Jim told me he wanted to try that pussy. I slid out and we flipped her onto her back. We changed places and he drove up her cunt in one motion. She yelped and wriggled to get into position for pounding. Her head was hanging off the corner of the bed so I straddled her and shoved my trobbing cock into her mouth. We had reversed what we were doing at first and she loved it just as much.
As she sucked my dick, Jim pounded her even harder than I had. I reached down and kneaded those huge boobs and twisted her nipples. She seemed to like being treated rough, so I started slapping her tits hard, like I was slapping her ass. Gagging and slurping, she was like a wild woman with all her spasming around our cocks in her holes. We could tell she was close to coming again and let her rip. I withdrew my cock to hear her scream and yell and she didn't disappoint. Her second orgasm was even more intense than her first, as I thought the bed was going to collapse.
By this time I was ready to come. I looked and Jim and he nodded his head in agreement....he was ready too. Randi was limp as a dishrag by this time, both of her orgasms had drained her.
"We need to come, Randi. Where do you want it?" I asked her.
"My tits....come on my tits. Not inside me." she managed to sputter, as she was still gasping for breath.
We took up sides on either side of the bed and told her to finish us off. She reached up and took each of us into a hand. She did a decent job of it, but couldn't get any rhythm going. We each took hold of our own cocks and started jerking while pointing at her big titties. Jim hit the brink first and let out a groan. His first couple ropes squirted up onto her tits, coating them. The next couple dribbled into her hair. She looked great laying there all covered in goo and it triggered my own orgasm.
My cock jumped in my hand and I launched my load directly onto her face. Two or three bolts plastered her dead in the face. She clamped her eyes shut in response. I hadn't come in a week or so and it was a real lake. Three or four more huge globs slobbered out of my cock onto her tits, joining Jim's load. I managed to squirt another glob out and dribbled it right into her mouth. She spat it out and wiped the cum out of her eyes. She was nice enough to suck both our cocks clean, though.
As we dressed to leave, Randi lay there, still covered in cum. She rubbed some of it into her tits and licked her fingers. We left her there and headed back to the party to finish the night with a few more beers.
I visited down there a bunch more over the next couple years and hooked up with Randi once or twice more, solo. She was a good lay and loved to fuck, but she seemed like the type of girl who needed two guys to bring out the best in her.

- Diffraction by image processing and its application in materials science (2004)
- A spectral theory for constituents of macroscopically homogeneous random microstructures modeled as homogeneous random closed sets is developed and provided with a sound mathematical basis, where the spectrum obtained by Fourier methods corresponds to the angular intensity distribution of x-rays scattered by this constituent. It is shown that the fast Fourier transform applied to three-dimensional images of microstructures obtained by micro-tomography is a powerful tool of image processing. The applicability of this technique is is demonstrated in the analysis of images of porous media.
- Spectral Theory For Random Closed Sets And Estimating The Covariance Via Frequency Space (2002)
- A spectral theory for stationary random closed sets is developed and provided with a sound mathematical basis. Definition and proof of existence of the Bartlett spectrum of a stationary random closed set as well as the proof of a Wiener-Khintchine theorem for the power spectrum are used to two ends: First, well known second order characteristics like the covariance can be estimated faster than usual via frequency space. Second, the Bartlett spectrum and the power spectrum can be used as second order characteristics in frequency space. Examples show, that in some cases information about the random closed set is easier to obtain from these characteristics in frequency space than from their real world counterparts.

The recent news that the New York Yankees finished the 2005 season with a $207 million payroll $90 million more than the next highest payroll imparts some lessons regarding the future of Major League Baseball.
On December 19, baseball's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) will expire. The CBA governs the economic landscape of the game, codifying everything from minimum salary and pension contributions to the amateur draft and disciplinary guidelines. Mostly, however, it's the residue of the perpetual struggle between players and owners over how the games' revenues are divvied up.
Suffice to say, much is at stake for both sides, and unlike in the NBA or NFL the power-sharing arrangement is fairly equitable. So when the players and owners are at loggerheads, a work stoppage often results.
The first thing you should know about the owners is that, since baseball isn't a publicly traded entity, they're under no obligation to disclose accurate financial details. The upshot is that they're probably lying whenever they wail to the heavens about this or that economic crisis.
Any exercise in independent forensic accounting reveals that Major League Baseball is a wildly profitable industry, and fans should offer nothing more than a knowing chuckle when Bud Selig solemnly drones on about forthcoming ruin. So when owners push for things like a luxury tax on payrolls, contraction or a salary cap, it's not about leveling the playing field; it's about suppressing labor costs.
One thing the owners (some of them, anyway) are right about, however, is the need for increased revenue sharing. Presently, MLB franchises, in accordance with the 2002 CBA, share 34 percent of local revenues. That's up from 20 percent during the 1996-2001 CBA.
Now, contrast this with the NFL, which mandates that its teams equally share the $2 billion-plus the league gets from its national television contracts. Forty percent of all gate receipts are also divided equally among teams.
The two situations are not entirely comparable, as MLB depends more on local television contracts than national ones. For example, as recently as 2001, the Yankees received more than $55 million (a conservative estimate, to be sure) in local-media revenues, while the erstwhile Montreal Expos received if you can believe this $536,000 in local media revenues, or roughly enough to afford one year of Eddie Perez. (The latter figure was the result of then-owner Jeffrey Loria's orchestrated failure to negotiate either an English-language radio broadcast or a television contract.)
Quite obviously, that's a hulking divide. The Expos' situation was somewhat anomalous, but the revenue disparities in baseball are undeniable; Milwaukee's local-media contract, which was 29th in value in 2001, was worth roughly one-tenth of the Yankees' contract. No one doubts that the Yankees have achieved much in terms of market penetration, but they do split a population base of roughly 20 million with only one other team. How, exactly, is that fair?
In the forthcoming CBA negotiations, this needs to be addressed once and for all, but it won't be easy. Large-market owners are naturally opposed to revenue sharing because they're the ones who foot the bill, and the Players Association balks at it because it would likely serve as a drag on the game's highest salaries. But sports leagues aren't your garden-variety industry.
The goal of the Yankees, Dodgers or Red Sox unlike, say, the goal of Wal-Mart or IBM isn't to drive the competition out of business. The Yankees want to pummel the Royals on the field of play, but they need them to at least otherwise stick around. At a base level, baseball, or any sports league, is a collaborative business, and teams should be compensated for any native market disadvantages they endure. So, next time around, owners should abandon the bid to re-establish payroll luxury taxes, completely forgo any pointless notions of a salary cap and instead focus on bringing revenue-sharing opponents to heel. What baseball needs is to share 50 percent of all local revenues. However, that alone won't be enough.
When you give money to teams with no sense of accountability, you inevitably get reprobates like Carl Pohlad, the billionaire owner of the Minnesota Twins, who have a history of gleefully pocketing shared revenues rather than reinvesting them into the team.
The answer really isn't forcing teams to boost payroll that's a scenario that lends itself to late-hour, asinine contracts doled out solely for the sake of meeting a salary floor. Rather, teams should be held to account to ensure they're plowing these revenues back into the team in some form. Whether that's by retaining a home-grown free agent who otherwise would've signed elsewhere, increasing the scouting and development budget or keeping a talented front office in place, it doesn't really matter so long as the money is being spent to improve the organization.
Sports leagues aren't the cauldrons of social Darwinism that many like to pretend they are; they're cooperative endeavors. In baseball, that should mean a fairer and more sensible sharing of revenues, but only with accountability measures intact. To make the game even more engaging than it already is, this needs to happen.

Every time I hear someone say that the story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth is nothing more than recycled ideas from mystery religious cults and myths, it just reminds of me of that famous line by British playwright George Bernard Shaw, "People would rather die than think". The standard line goes something like this, "Well, you do know that there really is nothing Jesus either said or did that is laid out in the gospels that cannot be found in the pagan mystery rites and stories of Mithras, Adonis, Attis, Dionysus, Osiris, and many many others." To which I respond, "Oh, really?"
French scholar Andre Boulanger said, "The conception that the god dies and is resurrected in order to lead his faithful to eternal life is represented in no Hellenistic mystery religion". Now, if Boulanger's statement is historically accurate than why do most people today think and state the contrary? A) They just heard it somewhere as a pop culture catch-all phrase and don't really study in-depth the ancient world. Or B) They are reading revisionist historians like Freke, Gandy, Harpur, Graves, and many others that blur the lines between the utter uniqueness of the Christ story with pagan religions. Many like to start with the Persian myth of Mithras, claiming virgin birth and sacrificial death. But legend tells us that Mithras was born out of a rock fully formed, and his sacrifice to the gods was not Himself but rather a bull. There is no virgin birth in the stories of Persus or Dionysus, Greek mythology is clear about that. So then, what about the story of Adonis' resurrection many would ask. There is a lot of truth to that but along with the resurrections of Murduk and Attis, these are all post-dated some 150 to 350 years after Christ. And the word in Greek for Christ's resurrection is not the same as the Greek word for the others. One was a literal bodily resurrection and the others were just resuscitations.
Now, a favorite to bring up in this area of discussion for many is the intriguing myth of Osiris. Here we have a clear cut resurrection, but he never gets up from underground. The Roman historian Plutarch writes about this 200 years after Christ. So, how could all of these myths that post-date the era of the Christian martyrs of the early church have any influence on them? The fact is, they didn't. Those who are not thinking this through have their chronology all backwards. All today's revisionists have are sweeping generalizations based on questionable evidence that could never stand up under the scrutiny of careful investigation. World renowned historian of religion Mircea Eliade in his three-volume definitive set on the history of religion from the pre-stone age until the late 20th century said,"There is no reason to suppose that primitive Christianity was influenced by the Hellenistic mysteries." This does not account for the later post-Constantinian church 300 years later that incorporated some of the myths. Eliade was referring to the early church that died specifically for what they believed in full public view, the early first century text of the writings of the New Testament and the early Roman historians that wrote about them of the late first and early second centuries.
So, why is this so important to try and set the record straight on this comment misconception? Because it is just another excuse for people to not look seriously into the absolute uniqueness of the Christ story. It is just another excuse to punt the issue. But when all of the excuses have run out it will take honest intellectual and personal fortitude to embrace Christ as not just another fable, but rather to face Him and his claims head on. And it will take that to dispel self deception and the deception around us in order to get to the root of the problems that can bring the antidote to a sick world that is reeling out of control on the edge of vertigo.

Dino-mite find for Lake Campus
A group of geology students at Wright State University-Lake Campus have a big project ahead of them - restoration of a 250-million-year-old bone they dug up and brought back from the South Dakota Badlands.
The 300-pound bone from the 3-ton, duck-billed dinosaur is an important find, especially for a university the size of Wright State.
"There are a lot of bigger schools that would not even attempt what Wright State just accomplished," Lake Campus geology professor Chuck Ciampaglio says.
Ciampaglio gestures to the femur/hip bone, now in a white field jacket (cast) under one of the lab tables in his classroom.
"This was a big hadrosaur for its species - probably 30 feet long and the weight of two elephants," he says. "That's my guess based on the size of this femur."
The group of 28 on site for the dig included 23 students, half from the Dayton campus and the other from the Celina branch. They used Ciampaglio's classroom as a staging area for the trip, which included outfitting a caravan of two cargo vans, two minivans, an eight-passenger van, two SUVs and a station wagon.
Camping was primitive on the August trip but no one seemed to mind as the students worked long hours unearthing the big reptile and trying to beat an impending storm. They did stop for occasional meals some of which Ciampaglio had personally prepared and frozen for the trip. If nothing would have turned up, at least he could provide "those kids their first taste of real pasta," he jokes.
The first step in a dig begins with the group fanning out in teams on a treasure hunt.
"I can talk and talk in class about how it's done, but there's no way to teach what field experience can teach," he says.
Applying the field jacket to protect the hadrosaur bone is one such lesson.
"You dig down about a foot all around the bone, which leaves it on a kind of pedestal in a hole. Then you cover it with Reynolds Wrap and over that you apply (a wet plaster material) which dries fairly quickly," he explains.
Next the students turned the wrapped bone and did the same preservation on the exposed area.
"Bones can be fairly fragile depending on the minerals in the surrounding soil. The field jacket gives some protection," he says.
This dinosaur was found in the Hell Creek formation near Faith, S.D., on a private ranch. The ranch owner was paid $1,500 to permit the Wright State group to dig on his property, which is known as a site of dinosaur bones. A tiny portion of the reptile already was above ground.
"We had no idea how big this thing was going to be so everyone was really excited with the size of it," Ciampaglio says.
Based on the creature's position with its upper body in a hillside, the professor says the tail must be gone and he speculates the torso and head could still be intact. Should they find the skull on next year's trip, the fee to the rancher would probably be renegotiated as such a find would be worth big dollars in the marketplace.
However, hadrosaur teeth are small change because there are so many. Ciampaglio brings out a replica of a jaw that shows channel after channel of teeth being formed, several thousand during its lifetime. As one set were worn down and fell out, new teeth filled in the empty spots. These grazing reptiles had no front teeth.
"In modern day, hadrosaurs would probably be in the category of deer, camels, elk - maybe like our cattle. They lived in groups and grazed on plants," he says. "An adult's head was probably 6 feet off the ground, and it's very unlikely they ever stood on their back feet as a lot of pictures and movies show."
It was probably a flood that killed the hadrosaur and washed it into the area where it was quickly buried by debris. That area is still a floodplain today.
Prepping the hadrosaur bone and the rhino jaws the students also found during the August trip will take a lot of work. Using chisels, small awls, brushes and magnification devices, Ciampaglio hopes to have the bones ready for display by 2008.

First time using it, the dishes were not completely dry. I changed the detergent to Cascade powder and had the option setting on. This time the dishes were drier but there was still water on the flatware and dishes that had grooves in them. The wash and dry cycle is also very long and this is not a quiet dishwasher.

Another interview with the author. Makes you feel like, why even bother watching. It's a forgone conclusion...
Ummm...did the author forget that the Pats were a Tyree helmet catch away from a Superbowl winning perfect season after spygate? Or were they still using tapes still their possession to decipher hand signals that no coaches bothered to change after spygate? Sounds logical.
BTW Cassel's season happened after spygate as well. I usually don't really care about this stuff, in fact I hope we get our 4th asterisk this season but talk about cherry picking facts to back up an agenda.

The author's thesis is the the Pats intelligence/ communications network at home was never dismantled due to the bargain the league struck with Patriots organization to end the scandal as quickly as possible. Post Spygate performance such as the SB and Cassel is used to assert his claim.
His evidence is based on the Pats' extraordinary home record - a statistical aberration - and the lack of any home stadium league countermeasures vice away game evidence (submission of the videotapes).

I doubt they ever foresaw cheating to this level (never mind the technology) when that statement was made. Bottom line, as a fan, you spend time and money watching football. You hope that if the talent level is somewhat equivalent, your team has a fighting chance. Otherwise, why bother watching. This was and is baked into the way the pats do business. McDaniel's said it himself. If anything, sounds like it should be Ernie Adams going into the Hall and not Bellicheck. That and their sound tech guy. The league (and mainstream media) really dropped the ball on this one.

Susanna Reid has revealed her family are "so wrapped up" in Strictly she has increased her training hours - as she becomes a real contender to win the series.
The BBC Breakfast host, 42, told the Mirror at the start of the competition her time with professional partner Kevin Clifton would be limited to make sure she was home to pick her kids up from school and continue family life as normal.
But her three sons and partner Dom are right behind her quest to get to the final.
Susanna said: "This week I'm in Blackpool for three nights so I've had to spend less time with the family.
"They know it's a very short time and it could end any week or it could carry on. They are unbelievably supportive. The kids are so wrapped up in it and Dom's been so incredibly supportive. It's down to him that I can actually do this.
"It's a couple of months and it could be over at any point. But I couldn't do it without them being fully on board."
TV star Susanna has now become one of the favourites to win Strictly, with Ladbrokes placing her as 4-1 second favourite and some people drawing comparisons between her and Natasha Kaplinsky who won the first series in 2004 when she worked on BBC news.
Susanna said: "If I won I suppose that would be fair comparison but we're so far away from that point. It's like a bubble and every week the bubble floats up and you're struggling toward that Saturday show."
After becoming close friends with Natalie Gumede, Susanna also defended her actress friend over claims she has an unfair advantage because she had some dancing training as a youngster.
Susanna said: "We all train at different levels and we all have different amounts of time. Natalie throws everything at it. She works exceptionally hard and is incredible.
"Everyone comes from different skills so at what point do you exclude people? Actors? Presenters? I did Strictly for Children in Need in 2011. What the viewers want is a whole range of different dancers.
"Dave Myers got criticised because he wasn't a good enough dancer. Natalie gets criticised because she's too good. But viewers love watching everyone work and become better dancers. Otherwise it's just a monotone programme."
