Directed by James McTeigue, the thriller is set in the last days of Edgar Allan Poe's life, when he gets wrapped up in a serial killer investigation. Luke Evans will play a detective who partners with Poe (John Cusack) to search for a serial killer who has kidnapped the author's fiancee (Alice Eve) and has gone on a murder spree that mimics the author's work. Ewan McGregor also stars.

A friend of mine said he ran into someone at Parsons Beach in Maine this morning using an Atlantis rod. I was just wondering if it was anyone from here.
: Atlantis at Parsons Beach, Maine flyfishjeff 08-02-2004, 03:46 PM A friend of mine said he ran into someone at Parsons Beach in Maine this morning using an Atlantis rod. I was just wondering if it was anyone from here. Jeff flyfisha1 08-02-2004, 04:40 PM On a related note, I brought my Atlantis with me to Harborside and used it on the schoolies up there at the mouth of the Penobscot earlier this Summer; practically yanked the fish right out of the rips! juro 08-02-2004, 06:18 PM Jeff - It might have been Alan Erdossy of Broadside who was in the area, but could have been anyone. Chris - That rod was specifically designed to encourage flyfishermen to let go of schoolie fishing :lildevl: Just kidding, Anything 24" or better is still an enjoyable fight on the rod, and a 15# plus fish is still a real handful. The Surf-tamer is rated 11/12 to be closer to AFTMA but to be fair in spey rod terms it's only a 7/8/9. For instance, the most common 8/9 spey lines are 640 grains over 54 ft, which is almost too much for the rod. Yet it's definitely not a 'schoolie rod', in fact it'll cast flies that could be mistaken for schoolies with the right lines. It's purpose is to allow the presentation of mackeral patterns in those rips to tempt the big cows, or throw full bunker flies into the Jersey surf, or boilermakers into a tropical reef spray. For me it is a reason to apply flyfishing techniques to the hunt for red october on the beach. With fall coming, these techniques will come into their own very soon. However it can be fished "small", I find it useful for running 6" sand eel patterns in Chatham Inlet, reaching spring migratory pods others can't, and dealing with incoming beach waves with ease. Best of all in a howling cross-wind off the opposite side for casts over 100ft without breaking a sweat. For those who want to take advantage of two-handed casting but still get yanked into the rip by a schoolie (verses the opposite), the new 9/10 Atlantis All-arounder will debut in time to make the fall migration. If you are interested in one, tell your CND dealer and that will help me put emphasis on production, which is currently focused on completing the new summer steelhead rods on the spey side of the product line for west coast and great lakes anglers. I will have one rigged and ready for this Sunday at the Rod Builder's Workshop two-handed casting clinic (Kingston MA) along with a few Surf-tamers. |

Craig Thompson's graphic novel, Blankets, a tale of twinned romantic and religious yearning weighing in at 600 pages, earned him huge acclaim. Ambitious projects seem to be his thing; it is a measure of the richness of Habibi (the word, we discover towards the end, means "my beloved") that it brings to mind huge Renaissance epic romances such as Orlando Furioso and The Faerie Queene one minute, then the 1001 Nights and My Name is Red another. But the guiding authorial presences are of the Koran and the Bible; stories from them unfold and proliferate in the interstices of the main narrative.
Set in what appears to be a studiedly timeless Middle East, at once ancient and modern, Habibi tells the story of two slave children, Dodola and Zam, who escape from the flesh-market and build a new life in a marooned barge in the middle of the desert. Dodola, nine years older than Zam, sells herself to passing caravans for food, something Zam, to his horror, witnesses one day. It is a scene that will mark him forever. Dodola is kidnapped again and sold to the harem of the decadent Sultan of Wanatolia, where she becomes his favourite mistress. The separation between Dodola and Zam, something that haunts both of them, carries allegorical overtones of the separation of the soul from God that we find in, say, Sufi mysticism or "The Song of Songs". When, years later, they are united, both are marked by some shocking changes, as is the world of environmental waste in which they find themselves, and their attempts to build a life together again founder on the cruelty of the world.
Did Paul Klee have Arabic calligraphy in mind when he observed that drawing was taking a line for a walk? On the evidence of Habibi, Thompson certainly does; the close symbiosis between western representational art and the extremely stylised, centuries-old oriental tradition, chasing each other in a circle on the pages of his book, can be, at moments, nothing short of explosive. His study and deployment of Arabic calligraphy amazes – not only in its more straightforward, decorative use, but also in its metaphorical collisions with the story. An English-language graphic novel written and drawn by an American that manages to have an Arabic visual feel and to responsibly convey some of the spiritual underpinnings of Islamic faith – this would be a memorable achievement at any time but at our particular juncture in history it is nothing short of vital.
Executed with enormous empathy and something that in earlier times would have been called divine inspiration, Habibi is an extraordinary milestone in the world of drawn stories. Who would have thought that black ink could make such complex, soul-filling music?

I was wondering what is it?
I always thought that Electrode or Dugtrio was the fastest.
I was wondering what is it?
I always thought that Electrode or Dugtrio was the fastest.
it is either ninjask or sceptile.
Ninjask wins my vote.
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
Dont be oopid,its obviously wurmple!(jk)
Its really S-Deoxys BTW ninjask was close but S-Deoxys beat it by 20 base stats ninjasks is 160 base speed and S-Deoxys is 180 base speed
there was a thread like this on the Poke Polls hmm this is a lil different limiting the pokemon to 3rd Gen
BTW MasterDIMM,y the fruitcakes did u say dugtrio?its not 3rd gen ,nor is electrode
ninjask. but only if has been in battle a few turns to have Speed Boost help it. but that is just my opinion.
I am a Christian. Thank you.
Join the coalition for heathier lint.
I assumed by 3rd Gen I meant the 3rd Gen of Games
i think the one deoxys form outspeeds ninjask but i'm not positive
it's still pretty damn fast
if you're reading this, you're a waste of life.
Shichiro, Speed Deoxys is way faster than Ninjask.

Top 3 Fastest Pokemon:
3.Electrode (base Speed 140)
2.Ninjask (base Speed 160)
1.Speed Deoxys (base Speed 180)
I know this for sure .
~Credit to Satomine Night for the banner~
S-D is the fastest.
Speed deoxys was a pokemon created with speed specifically designed into it. At 180 base speed, it deserves the title of *Fastest Pokemon In The Game*

28 / 20 / 26 / 30 / 30 / 31 Timid Southern Island Emerald Latios
Except it's a Uber so I hate it
Check out Dragonfree's rant on ubers...I'm sure you'll learn something new. :3Originally Posted by MasterDIMM
Anyway, I guess I'll give the speed award to either Ninjask or Sceptile. :3 Speed Deoxys may very well be fast, but...well, I chose to go with the former instead. XD
I think Ninjask is the fastest Pokemon in the Third Generation in my opinion. Although Electrode comes close to a tie.
Deoxys Speed is the fastest. Right behind Ninjask. And then I think Electrode.

It is sommer holidays now and I'll probably be a bit inactive.
Speed Deoxys. If you dont like him or cant get him then...
Ninjask is your next choice. But its not that helpful in games though. Useful in Metagames, but not really in the GBA games. but w/e.
Speed Deoxys as stated 20 times before, although Electrode should be pretty fast since it can roll around very quickly (Like in that old Kanto episode).
S-Deoxys is the fastest but since a lot of people cant get him I like Ninjask better.

Speed Deoxys, but if ninjask stays in battle long enough, nothing will be able to match it's speed. And yanma will be a close second, because he can get speed boost as an ability too.
Speed Deoxys, Ninjask and Electrode.
What goes around comes around...
1)Deoxys (Speed)
3)Deoxys (Normal)/ Deoxys (Attack)
5)Jolteon/ Aerodactyl/ Mewtwo/ Crobat
Now please people can you stop listing other Pokémon. The above list is as accurate as it gets.

With shares of Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) trading at around $53.64 is SBUX an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
C = Catalyst for the Stock's Movement
You really messed up this time, didn't you? This pertains to SBUX selling in the single digits in 2009. Imagine having bought the stock then. What would you be doing now? Don't worry; you're not alone. If only we all believed in the premise to buy when there's blood in the streets. What's done is done, and all we can do now is look ahead.
Starbucks has a reputation for great growth and okay profitability. At the same time, the stock has rewarded its investors through the years. A 1.60% yield isn't anything to get excited about, but you may get excited about new opportunities.
Catalysts are critical to discovering winning stocks. Check out our newest CHEAT SHEET stock picks now.
Starbucks has a few new products. This will likely have more of an impact on existing customers. The novelty of the coffee shop craze has worn off. Almost every caffeine fiend has already chosen his or her favorite destination for a daily fix. On the other hand, Starbucks regulars seem to be willing to try new things, which may bode well for Starbucks. Two of these products will be of the use-at-home variety (i.e. Verismo, K-Cups.)
One of the biggest moves by Starbucks has been the acquisition of Teavana. With the tea industry seeing double-digit growth, how could Starbucks not get involved? It's also a logical growth opportunity for the company. In addition to that, it matches their emerging market expansion. Tea is more popular in Asia, Eastern Europe, and the United Kingdom than in the United States, but Starbucks has the potential to grow the market here.
As far as analysts go, 21 are on the Buy side, nine recommend Hold, and zero are on the Sell side. While listening to one analyst would be risky, listening to 21 out of 30 that agree isn't such a bad idea.

KYO/XRAY/Tekno 1/8 "Gamechanger" Piston (2) (1.3mm x 8 Hole) (Low Pack) by VRP
VRP GAMECHANGER Pistons w/Patent Pending CFV Technology.
The worlds first Smart Piston for RC...
Rebound System
First VRP started with their XV2 Piston and the Quick Rebound System it features. It was important to keep the exact function of that system because its proven track performance and obvious ease of understanding. The Rebound Valve has been re-designed and updated to be smaller and use less of the inner thickness of the piston to improve durability. This minimization was also needed to fit another 'system' into a small part like a piston.
Compression System
This System was designed through hours of research on oil flow and pressures built at the face of the piston from surface tension. VRP made 100's of iterations refining the technology, which meant hours and hours of programming and machining, countless shock rebuilds, test drops, test jumps, slow motion videos, and ultimately track testing. Over the last 8 months, VRP has refined the invention into a smooth working model that fits what we do in racing. The System is 'Smart'. It senses shaft speed and reacts as needed with the Patent Pending CFV (Compression Flex Valve) allowing the Piston to have Slow Shaft Speed and High Shaft Speed Compression.
Slow Shaft Speed Compression
At neutral, it is as soft as any shock with a normal set of comparable pistons. On the bench, you will find the suspension is subtle. Its important that this stays in the range of what you run now, it is what makes the suspension soak up bumps and give forward grip as well as a responsive feel at the wheel. So VRP made the 'Low Shaft Speed' Compression very similar to what you know.
High Shaft Speed Compression
At High Shaft Speeds like landing a large jump, the CFV will flex and partially cover some of the flow holes and provide additional damping to keep the chassis off the ground. It flexes different amounts depending on the impact and the 'shaft speed', so it will respond accordingly. If for example you were to land a smaller jump, the CFV will flex less and provide the correct amount of damping at the time needed. Once the shaft slows down, the valve immediately returns to Slow Shaft Speed Compression, and the damping becomes softer.
Carbon Fiber Compression Flex Valve
Engineered with 20 years of composite experience, the actual Carbon Fiber is made in house at the VRP facility in Houston, Texas, USA. It is unique. From the Carbon itself to the Resin its made with, the properties are designed and tailored for the purpose. They are similar to a reed valve for a musical instrument and care should be taken when handling them. Treated properly, they should last the lifetime of the vehicle.
New Era of Performance
You will never have a buggy land, respond, settle, and be ready for throttle quicker than the Gamechanger Piston. Many jumps and landings become a fluid motion with no chassis scrub or momentum loss. The pistons also make the car more true off the face of every jump because it does not dig in. You will find it easier to manage jumps both taking off and landing like never before. This makes your consistency increase and ultimately your racing success. Where the chassis dug in before and you needed turn marshaled, it won't and you will continue on.

A post from the Garbage Facebook page states
"Just added a few North American dates....just a sprinkling mind you....to our schedule this year. Stay tuned. Will announce them ASAP."
Poor use of punctuation - CONFIRMED!
Garbage would be a cool add. Perhaps the beginning of the No Doubt/Garbage tour rumoured last year.
I know. That would've been a great mini-tour. Love Distillers...saw them in '04.
I heard about another No Doubt/Garbage tour last year...maybe if/when No Doubt ever announces a tour, it'll happen again.
so is CoS just a bunch of trolls or?
Daft Punk 2014!!!!
Divine Fits? Anyone brought them up?
Spoon should play again...with a longer set than 2010.
Expect some considerable crossover.
Guaranteed better lineup than Coachella, by the way.
There is a big gay 2 day rave in my hometown and they are holding off on announcing one of the main headliner of the show, which has never happened before with this company. Some guy who used to work for the company said its Eric Prydz and they aren't announcing him until after Coachella releases their line up. So I mean this guy could be full of shit and I wouldn't expect Eric Prydz to play here anyways but thats just what I was told.
when and why did we rule out Depeche mode as possible headliners?
confirmed new avatar for pea.
Sound City Tour? Yes please. Dave Grohl, Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty? Kidding me
2-ChainZ and Guicci Mane
the Killers
winner winner chicken dinner
but i did hear that the killers wanted $200,000 and GV only wanted to pay $160 so it looks like we might be getting linkin park after all

How Do You Feel About Love/Relationships At This Point In Your Life?
This was a forum topic I recently encountered and the following was my response:
At this point, having been married, single and everything in between, as well as seeing the experiences of people around me and reading about these things online, I have to say that I am opposed to relationships in which the two parties are living together. At least for now. I own my own house and am perfectly content being alone in it. I have absolutely no desire to live with another woman at this point (I have lived with 2 in my life).
As far as relationships that don't involve cohabitation go, I am not necessarily opposed to them but at this point in my life I don't even want that. To be honest, I have much more fun hanging out with friends/my brother than I ever did with a girlfriend/my ex wife. Really, if you take sex out of it, you have a friend, but in most cases, one that isn't as fun to be around as are your male friends since females and males are often so different (what they consider fun, the conversations you can have, etc). Of course I am generalizing here but that's the nature of the conversation.
I really believe that despite what we tell ourselves, access to sex might really be the biggest/most potent motivator for the forming of relationships. Not many relationships survive without it and guys will go to extreme lengths to put up with **** that they would NEVER take from friends and the reason for that is sexual desire- which, if you really want to deconstruct this, is simply the biological urge to procreate. I believe that alone is the basis for all of it, and everything else is a nice little narrative constructed around it.

ls engine oiling question
So my shakedown run at snofari went pretty good other than a few small things and one fairly large thing. My driveshaft is way to close to my oil filter. So when i got back i started looking int remote filter options.The problem is they are all using an adapter that is in the stock filter location.With the way my exaust is ran and the driveshaft issue I have a thought but not sure if its a good one or a bad one so here it is. I am thinking of machining a dummy filter that just alows oil to flow through where the filter should be then buy or build an adapter where the oil cooler lines would normally go and run a remote filter off those two ports Ones a feed and ones a return. Looking at the oil scematics of the engine I think its my best bet for the most clearance but what do you guys think. Looks like the oil leaves the filter and goes directly to the cooler ports so is it gonna work the same just in a diffrent spot?

Interesting idea. I had to install my engine off center a little to allow room for my drive-shaft. I'd be interested to see how this works out for you.
Hay, look at me... I have a signature..... RIP FULLSIZE4LIFE |
January 31st, 2012, 06:17 PM | #4 |
hoo dat. wat.
I'd be worried that I'd be missing a pressure relief / bypass in case the flow somehow was higher than what could go through the cooler lines / remote filter - but I've never looked at one to be sure.

Philadelphia - The Milwaukee Brewers threw another candidate into their third base mix Wednesday by claiming Casey McGehee off waivers from the Chicago Cubs.
To make room for McGehee on their 40-man roster, the Brewers designated infielder Joe Dillon for assignment.
McGehee, 26, was a 10th-round selection in 2003 by the Cubs out of Fresno State.
He played this year at Class AAA Iowa, where he batted .296 with 30 doubles, 12 home runs and 92 RBI in 133 games.
McGehee was called up in September by Chicago and appeared in nine games, batting .167 (4 for 24) with five RBI.
Dillon saw action in 56 games for the Brewers during three stints this season, batting .213 with one homer and six RBI. He was used mostly as a pinch-hitter, collecting only six hits in 39 at-bats (.154).
In 46 games at Class AAA Nashville, he batted .263 with five homers and 23 RBI.
Bill Hall, Russell Branyan and Craig Counsell split time at third base during the 2008 season.
Hall has two years remaining on his contract, Branyan is a free agent and the Brewers have an option on Counsell's contract.
Will Maddux stay? The Brewers are expected to announce Ken Macha as their new manager as soon as possible after the World Series concludes. And they might need a new pitching coach to go with him.
The Texas Rangers have targeted Mike Maddux as their new pitching coach, and there is a definite connection for him on that club. JackieMoore, recently named the Rangers' bench coach, was the manager for Houston's Class AAA Round Rock (Texas) affiliate when the Brewers hired Maddux off his coaching staff before the 2003 season.
Moore has spoken highly of Maddux. Another connection, Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, who owns the Round Rock club, recently was named the Rangers' president.
Maddux was offered a new contract after the season by the Brewers but has not accepted it. Asked why, he said, "I'm waiting to see who the new manager will be."
Maddux said the Rangers were denied permission by the Brewers to talk to him, because he still is under contract. But that contract expires Friday, opening the door for talks with any team.
Maddux, who makes his home in Milwaukee, said he was open to staying with the Brewers.
"Sure, I like it in Milwaukee," he said.
Maddux has no real connection to Macha, however, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if the Rangers stole him away.
Brent replaces Green: The Brewers announced that shortstop prospect Brent Brewer will replace third baseman Taylor Green in the Arizona Fall League.
Green suffered a broken nose this week when hit by a ground ball that took a bad hop.
He will have minor surgery next week.

- Dressage
- - First dressage tests this weekend!
First dressage tests this weekend! Well, I'll be honest in saying that I am throwing myself headlong into the dressage world. :wink: On Saturday & Sunday, AHA is holding an A-rated sporthorse show that I will be attending with my arab gelding. It's our first A-rated show together and our first tests. Let me say that I would love to do a few schooling shows first, but sadly there are none in Tucson until the fall. Let me also say that I have no shame (ha!). I could be wrong, but I don't see any harm in getting the experience and going for it as I have no lofty (national or professional) aspirations for my riding career. I mostly want to see how far we've come! On each day we're doing an Intro A test as a warm-up/to get familiar with a pattern, followed by a Training 1 test later in the day. I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited at this opportunity! I never thought I would be able to own my own horse before 30 let alone school dressage and test with him! Anyway, I am looking for tips and advice. :D I am trying to cover our "easy point" bases (square halts, doing well on our stretchy trot and free walk-- which should be easy, since he loooves to stretch) and am practicing prompt transitions up and down so that we are never early or late. Thanks in advance! |
730 Attachment(s) Have fun is all I will say!! |
Agree with Sky...have fun and enjoy the experience. You are hitting some of the high points...study your test if you don't have a reader. You should essentially be able to draw it in your head without the aid of the arena and letters. Also, and this is a big one for me and always has been...BREATHE! :) As a quick story I will pass on my first show with my last horse. He was an OTTB and still a little silly around things. The very first time I got him into a fully set up dressage arena, he did a great sidepass all the way down the F side..facing all the letters and snorting at them. In the week prior to the show I exposed him to everything I could think of..loud kids on the swings, loud music (houses border our ring), plastic flowers in the letter boxes (he had a definite aversion to any pink or purple..yellow and orange flowers didn't seem to bother him). So, show day comes around and we are good..he's calm, steady. Intro A went beautifully. Right before we go in for Intro B, people at the house closest to us decide to start throwing buckets of water off their balcony, and, another one started up a chainsaw. Well, we went down the centerline doing an impromptu freestyle...wiggle, wiggle, dance, passage (remember this is an Intro level horse at the moment)..snort, dance sideways..oh...X..OK. Stop, quick salute, sidepass to H (there is no sidepass in Intro :) ) Given that it was a schooling show I finally managed to get him somewhat close to the left side of the arena and completed the test just for the exposure, laughing all the way through the test at his antics. He was tense, up and just acting like a thoroughbred. Comments from the judge..horse was tense and tight...gee..ya think? :) |
Haha, oh no! Freakin' judge with that comment... :-P That's too funny! Luckily we were just competing in the same arena for shows the weekend before last! I'm hoping Jax will remember the space and be nice and calm... although that is up to the way I keep my own emotions in check, huh? :lol: My big fears are our leads for the training level test! I'm thinking the Intro A class will help acclimate me so I don't overthink my cues in the second test. I really do have to think about breathing... right now I have the perfect "this is a learning experience!" attitude, but once I'm in the ring I have a tendency to get a little competitive and anxious. I WILL breathe! :-P Thanks! |
1 Attachment(s) Thought this thread deserved an update-- I will have to make a separate picture thread, but... what a fantastic experience and show!!! As a person who doesn't have a regular trainer or an associated show barn (and started with a front-to-back WP horse...), it meant so much to see this milestone with my horse! We managed high point adult amateur for the whole show (ahhh!!!!), and out of the tests we did (Intro A, Training 1, Training 2) we had scores all above 60, with my personal highlight being the 65 we earned on Training 2! I couldn't be happier, Jax worked his heart out. We did a few sporthorse classes which went well, but the highlight there was having the judge come up to me and compliment my "riding and my trainer" ... who is me and me! Okay, I'm going to parachute down from cloud 9. :) Thanks for the advice in this thread and on this forum in general! |
730 Attachment(s) Well done!!! I look forward to that picture thread!! |
Awesome!! I know you must be incredibly proud. Posted via Mobile Device |
Isn't it great to see the hard work pay off? The two of you look great :). I made an idiot out of myself at the end of the very first test I rode on my last horse...burst into tears after the last salute :) because he did so well. OK, I admit, I am a sentimental type. Tears are dripping even now for your success. :) |

It's Extremely Obvious If You Haven't[top]What is "CnC"? by Sniperfox
Well, the short and sweet of it is simply "Comments & Criticisms".
It means just what it says - someone ( knowledgeable ) gives you comments and criticisms on a piece you've posted. This is real feedback. If you've never had work critiqued before, then things may come off as seemingly harsh - believe us when we say this is not our intention.
CnC is always, always intended to try and help you get better at what you're doing. It will give praise when praise is due, and point out flaws in your work, when necessary.
Let's take a look at an example of proper CnC vs Poor CnC -
[User A]
[Posts Signature]
"I spent a good amount of time on this, and I'd like some feedback on it!"
[Proper Feedback]
"The signature looks good, it's got nice color to it, and I like the render/stock you've chosen. If I had to give any critiques, I would say that perhaps it's a little blown out in spots - over contrasted a bit. The flow also seems a little off - the font choice kind of goes against the rest of the signature's flow. The sig flows to the right - perhaps a font that does the same?
Keep up the good work."
[Poor Feedback]
"I like it, it looks good! 10/10!"
"It's terrible and sux - I hate [insert name of game/movie in sig]. 0/10!"
^That second one is actually worse. You should never base your criticism on the content of the signature ( Or the person who made it, for that matter. ) when providing CnC - your feedback should be unbiased.[top]How it Works
Simply post your sig below giving your own opinion on it and we'll give you some detailed CnC for it. Please make sure you actually post the sig and not just say that it's in your sig space. Other people are welcome to give CnC but please only do so if you're actually capable of it. If you don't know what you're talking about and give completely inane CnC your post will be reported and deleted by a moderator. This may seem harsh, but we don't want this thread to be filled with fake CnC that doesn't help anybody. If you're not sure if you can, then please don't.
Do not use this thread to troll other members under the guise of helping them.
*This isn't a "Rate my sig" thread, this is to give those who are into sig-making a fair and decent feedback on their result*
Do not post work made by somebody else, regardless if it was made for you. Only post work if you've made it and want to get CnC.
Just to re-iterate, CnC entails highlighting what is wrong with a sig and possible ways to fix it. Honesty is key and often brutal. We will be going through every sig the same regardless of who made it. If you think that you might get offended by what we say about your sig then please don't post. CnC is here to help people develop and progress as an artist, and the only way to do that is through letting you know where you're lacking and how you can improve on it.[top]Example
("Harsh CnC" - Very blunt and direct. Most people who comment in this thread will be much nicer )
I think it looks alright but it doesn't look complete if you know what I mean. I used an ironman render for this. Help?
"First thing that's noticeable is the lack of depth. Aside from the render, it's just a big blur which doesn't look very good. Lay off the blur tool until the end for finishing touches to get a good sense of depth.
Next is the lack of any flow. There isn't any direction in the sig, giving it a very static feel. The render choice doesn't help this much as the render itself, while providing some natural light effects, is very plain and static in itself.
While the colours fit together, the lack of flow and depth really hold this back. Lighting isn't great, but I think that if you want to fix this sig you need to focus on the above before addressing the lighting.
Render position isn't great, look up the "rule of thirds" to find out how the position of the render can dramatically affect a sig and how you've gone against that 'rule' in this. Text position isn't bad considering what you had to work with, but it could still be improved if you changed the render position.
Also if you want to make a big change to this sig, I suggest finding a completely new render that has movement in it already. Movement being that the render looks like it is in the middle of something, and not in a static position like it's posing. This will greatly help you get some good flow and the perfect position for it should feel much more natural to discover"

I'll try and get things rolling. I made my first PS3 wallpaper today and I'd like some feedback on it. I've never worked with such a large canvas and have done about three simple wallpapers before this. I'd love to get some good CnC on it. I'll post a link to it on DA because I think imgur might lower the quality.

I made another vertical sig today, one of Dead Island. I would like some feedback as well.
02-12-2012 #5
I've never delved into doing vertical sigs so my feedback may not be the best.
You've got some good depth on this piece which I like. I know it's not your fault but the zombie mouth on the knife is a little bit distracting. In all honesty the piece just looks a little bit boring. The colours are dull and I'm not really seeing any effects that pop out at me. The lighting, especially the left side, is a bit too intense and obvious. It looks like you've just brushed in some soft colours. The positioning of it is done well but it looks a little stuck on. The composition is done well. Good placement of the focal point.
It's nice to see something other than a standard sig but I think you can produce better.
02-13-2012 #6
I really like the brush work you've used on this. There's probably some smudging in there as well but I just can't distinguish between it all The depth you've added is nice, but I think that the bit you've left not blurred has resulted in a the focal being a bit too large considering the size of Rihanna in it. I'm personally not a big fan of the text. I think it would look better if there wasn't any text considering how when on a ps3 there'll be plenty of text anyway. There are a few bits around the edges that I think could be cleaned up a bit, just some splatters that don't do anything to improve the piece (most notably on the left side)
Also, how is anybody supposed to use this if you haven't left a link to download a version that doesn't have a load of placeholders?
@Dsluckay: I'm not going to say anything as Prosthetic has pretty much said it all

I've seen much better from you, in all honesty. The text is really lacking (mostly the font choice is what I'm disliking here), but there are also some other noticeable things. You've put a light source, it looks pretty good, but where are the shadows? Lighting isn't simply making a splash of light there, it's also about darkening opposite portions. The depth is OK, but your render sticks out like a sore thumb. Additionally, the red colors with that hint of green just don't really work much, and the sig feels very bland. I don't mind simple sigs; I actually prefer them, but this sig is lacking that flare that makes a signature exciting to to look at. You're quite frankly capable of better than this tag. (Sorry if that sounds too harsh. )
02-17-2012 #9
I think you've hindered yourself from the off with a really awful render choice. It's very static and it stops you from creating any flow. The chair doesn't help and niether do the ears. I think you've blurred the background too much and as a result it looks like the render is just sat on top of it. The colours you've used are pretty boring. There's some strange looking effect going over the render which I'd lose. The left side of the piece is too empty and the faint lines in the background go against the flow of the effects. I don't think there's anything wrong with your font but the placement is too far away from the render and as a result you've created a second focal point. The border doesn't really work with this piece.
On the plus side you render placement is spot on and you've made a decent attempt with the lighting. I think you should try looking at some tuts and other styles rather than just going for the C4D's and renders or if you like this style take more time with your selections to make sure everything fits together.

Thanks for the feedback Prosthetic. I just created this:
Still trying to develop this style.
02-22-2012 #11
^ Not really sure how I feel about that one, so no cnc from me. D:
Wasn't trying for something advanced, just a simple stock tag. ^.^
I honestly think this is my best.

To be honest, I just don't think it's your best. The bright splotch where the tiger's mouth would be is VERY distracting. This is slightly offset by the fact that it's on top of the focal (so it doesn't create a 2nd focal), but it doesn't look very good when considering there aren't any shadows to highlight it as a light source. It's just sort of, "there." The horizontal line at the top is also sorta weird and separates the top of the tag from the bottom. Again, if this was more of an actual light source, it wouldn't look at bad. Text is OK, but where is the flow here? The focal gives a somewhat decent allowance for flow, so use it! Depth feels pretty good, actually. Also on the plus side, I think it's a cool concept of the tiger swimming, so keep going with this more abstract concepts instead of such boring focals of Nathan Drake, your average sprite stock, etc. KIU.
02-22-2012 #13
I think this is a very unique style and I really like it. Even though there is not much color in the render I feel I'm still focused on it and am able to relax in the color as well. I forget the type of color system you used (it's not complementary) but the colors go decently well. I'd definitely try this style and try two complementary colors or just experiment with different numbers as well. I'm not seeing much of a light source though. I think this would be a tad difficult using a stock though. And I'd try to incorporate a little more flow into the work, as I can see it is slightly going to the right. Some not "in your face" but "you can still see it" kind of text would work well. Keep up the good work. Oh it could use a little more depth though.
It looks pretty good. I think the light source in the tiger's mouth is a little strong. Good color and light bubbles around the focal point. the text is very plain but incorporates well. I'm not feeling what you really did with the top of it though, it stands out and doesnt look all that blended in. You have some decent depth in here as well as I can see you blurred the tail behind the tiger. It's pretty nice man, I'm not a big vertical sig person, but I like what you did with it Biggest concern: Work on the lighting parts.
02-22-2012 #14
The brush work looks a little sloppy in my eyes and as of such there isn't much in terms of flow. It looks like the same brush being replicated all over the left side of the render which takes away from it for me. The background doesn't look like it's been put together well either and the word sloppy comes to mind again, it's neither here or there. There's a significant lack of depth aswell, so my eyes start looking away from the render and towards the assortment of brushes in the background, and I don't know what to focus on. The render's been placed well but I think it was a difficult render choice to begin with
The whole piece seems to suffer from too bright, almost burnt looking lighting throughout. The top which seems to be just dragged from a stock, probably the same one used for the effects gives way too much of a sharp effect and drops the overall quality for me. And the stock used for the effects suffers from this aswell, there are far too many spots that look too sharp/too bright and it just takes a lot away from the piece. It might be me being blind but the big orb of light makes me confused as to what exactly the tiger is doing, after trying to work it out it's kind of like it's chewing on a big bulb of light, not sure if this was intentional or not. The text doesn't help much either, the placement isn't exactly off but I'm not fond of the font choice and the whole thing just looks sharp in general. I think the quickest fix for the issues I mentioned before would be to try and do more with the lighting effects you've added. Trying not to sound harsh saying this, but it looks like you've just slapped the lighting stock ontop, changed blending mode and called it a day for that. Try adding a layer mask and softly erasing bits out, you can always add another stock if you lose too much of it etc. and it'll ease it into the image a lot more. Or use a quick mask and blur it in there. This would help at the top and bottom of the piece here, it would bring the focus in towards the tiger and the whole thing would look much better

03-08-2012 #17
Getting back in the swing of things with my first vertical sig. Thoughts?
(side note: I made this while looping the song "I don't want to set the world on fire" by The Ink Spots...it should explain the theme. *chuckles*)
03-08-2012 #18
The lighting is hands-down my favorite part of your sig. The placement is near perfect, and the complimenting shadows in the corners do a great job at accenting the light. I didn't like the text at first...but it grew on me after a little while. I think it's mostly because of the placement of said text that makes it work so well.
My major complaint is hard for me to put into words. It's as if you used the same filter on your render as you did on the background, or sharpened a bit and erased what you didn't like, or maybe something else entirely; whatever it is, you used a little bit too much. The lines on the trooper aren't clean, and that's a bit distracting for me. Aside from that, the depth is a little lacking. The left arm is blurred really well, but the right arm/left side of the sig could've used a bit more distinction from one another. Overall...it's pretty good.
I didn't think I'd like the evil C4D front and center, but you've made it work. The blur+wave combo works well, though maybe try blurring in a gradient to get the effect of the C4D wrapping around the guy. Your lighting is standard MO for you, and it works everywhere except on the right-hand side of the C4D. I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't feel as right as the left-hand side. The text just works, especially being partially obscured by the C4D.
My one issue is the side border...though that's just personal taste. I. Hate. Side borders - they don't do anything for me. But to each their own in that regard. Overall, very nice.

Postgame notes: "Really pleased with…"
The Yankees have been starved for offense for about three months now, and tonight they scored 14 runs. Alfonso Soriano, the team's only trade addition, had the go-ahead two-run homer and finished with a career-high six RBI. Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez, the guys who have missed most of the year on the disabled list, each contributed with three hits for Granderson and a two-out, two-run double by Rodriguez. Eduardo Nunez matched a career high with four RBI; Vernon Wells had his first homer since mid-May; Lyle Overbay started against a lefty and had three hits.
So as Joe Girardi sat for his postgame press conference, what was he focused on?
"CC," Girardi said. "I was really pleased with what CC did tonight. But I'll take 14 runs every night."
Impossible to dismiss what the Yankees lineup did tonight, but can't overlook Sabathia's outing either. Walks were a real problem, and he gave up another home run that put the Yankees in an early hole, but this was his second straight start that brought at least some promising results. And it was his first win since July 3. Three hits were the fewest he'd allowed since May 9.
"He probably should've pitched about eight innings with as many outs as he got," Girardi said. "But we gave him a lot of extra outs. He kept them in check. He gave up the two hits in the first, and he didn't give up another one until the seventh. … I thought his fastball command was really good. I thought his changeup was pretty good tonight. He didn't use a ton of sliders but he threw some good ones. But it was his fastball command."
Sabathia used the term "battle" to describe this one. He's used that word a lot this season, but tonight it came in a positive context. In some ways, this was a reminder of the way Sabathia used to pitch on his less-than-great nights: Getting big outs when he needed them, and getting past some early trouble to pitch deep in the game.
"Just making a few pitches," he said. "I got into some tough spots tonight, but was able to make some pitches, get some outs, and that's the biggest thing. I would get some runners on base earlier in the year and wasn't able to make pitches, and it was a merry-go-round. Being able to able to hold these guys off and let these guys come back and score runs felt good."
• This was Alfonso Soriano's 34th career multi-homer game, and his fourth of the season. It was his first multi-homer game with the Yankees since September 22, 2003 at Chicago. "It felt more like the old days," Soriano said. "We scored 14 runs today, so I hope we can do that more often. I know it can't happen every day because the other team gets paid to get us out, but I hope we continue playing like we played tonight."
• Soriano has now homered three times in three games, beginning with his 2,000th career hit. "I just tried to do too much to get my 2,000," he said. "Thank God it happened two days ago and now I'm more relaxed. I tried to see the ball better and help this team win. … I just came from the National League, so I don't know those (pitchers). It's a little difficult, so I just tried to get comfortable, especially with the guys I've never seen before. I saw a lot of video and got something in my mind to make me feel comfortable at the plate."
• The Yankees have homered in four straight games for the first time since June 3-6. They've homered 16 times in their past 14 games after being held without a home run in their previous nine games. … Six Yankees had multi-hit games today, and every Yankees batter had at least one hit.
• Vernon Wells homered for the first time since May 15 against Seattle, snapping a 208 at-bat homerless stretch. Last time he homered, the Yankees were in first place by two games.
• Eduardo Nunez had four RBI, tying a career high previously reached August 28, 2010. This was his first time batting leadoff since September 27, 2011.
• One down side: The Yankees had some real defensive trouble today, most notably struggling with some pop fly plays to the right side. "I wasn't real happy," Girardi said. "It's a tough play but I think our guys are capable of making that play. I'll just leave it at that."
• Lyle Overbay talking about the foul popups: "For some reason, the ball was coming back. Even on Vernon's ball – Trout's ball – usually when a righty hits it, it slices out a little. For some reason, tonight they were coming back in. That spot right there is a tough spot to catch balls for all of us. For Robbie and Grandy was out there too. Those are spots that (are like) the Bermuda Triangle."
• Why did Sabathia walk six guys, including one — Chris Nelson! — with the bases loaded? "I felt like I was just missing," Sabathia said. "I felt pretty good. I didn't feel tired, I didn't feel anything. I was just missing with the fastball."
• Sabathia said he'd never been a part of a play like the one where Nelson was called out for leaving early on a fly ball to left. Ultimately, it didn't matter once the Yankees blew the game out of reach, but it was still odd. "He was there and he was gone when I looked down, so I thought maybe there was a chance that he had left early," Jayson Nix said. "Kind of right away, the guys on the bench were yelling at (Austin Romine) to throw it over there. I was about to start. They were yelling at him pretty quick."
• Dellin Betances made his season debut and struck out the first two batters he faced, then he allowed five straight hits and a walk before being pulled. He wasn't able to mop up and save the bullpen. "The first time I pitched here I wasn't able to throw strikes," he said. "This one, I was even though it was rough because I gave up a string of hits there. Not the way I wanted to end it. I was hoping to finish the game and give the bullpen a rest, but I gave up too many hits, missed with some pitches there. That's pretty much it. …Just being able to pound the strike zone (was positive), but at the end of the day, you want to get outs."
• Wells was lifted strictly for the left-on-right matchup. He's not hurt.
• Final word goes to Girardi: "It does (spark some optimism). We got behind tonight, we were able to come back. We were able to tack on runs and put up 10 runs in three innings. That's something we haven't done a whole lot this year, so it is encouraging."

Husband doesn't satisfy his wife
Sexually Frustrated Wife
I am divorced and haven't been with a woman in about six years now. I have been horny as all hell lately; even more so than usual. Talk about the pressure of blue balls. Of course you women wouldn't know how painful that feels. I have tried getting myself off, like I normally do, but it just hasn't been doing the trick lately. This time I need the real thing; a woman to take care of matters for me. So I go on one of those personal sex sites looking for a "Wife for a night." I fill in my profile stating that I am an older man, just average looking and somewhat a little over weight. I also spill the beans that I am impotent but the insurance paperwork is in for a penis implant and for the time being I do have ways to penetrate a vagina. Might as well be truthful up front and not waste time and money meeting someone the first time and have them say not interested; especially if you have to travel a couple of hours to get to her.
So about the eleventh day on the site I get a hit. She is a lot younger than me being 41 years old and a nurse but what older man wouldn't want to be with someone young enough to be his daughter? Besides, I didn't advertise for a long term commitment; just a few hours once a week or so to take care of hers and my sexual frustration. Did I mention that the older I get the stronger my sexual desires become? I swear that I could take on two 30 year olds and wear them out. Well back to the story.
This younger woman that answered my profile said that her husband was a truck driver and away from home a lot. She says that the sex life with her husband was not all that thrilling anymore. Although he makes a good pay, when he comes home all he does is eat supper and fall asleep in front of the TV watching sports. If she can get him interested in making love then he plays with her tits for a few minutes, spends less time rubbing and caressing her pussy, then mounts her and fucks her till he cums inside her pussy, roles over and falls asleep. Then she's left horny as all hell with a cum filled pussy; which none of the cum was hers because she never orgasmed. She can't remember when the last time was that she has had an orgasm; outside of the one's she has to give herself which aren't the same as someone giving them to her. By the way, this sex starved nurses name is Debbie, she about 5'3" tall, has a 38C bust line, slender waist and an ass made for fucking.
So now I am interested very much in this woman. I send her back an email asking for more specifics. Did she like sex outdoors or in a hot tub? Did she enjoy receiving oral sex? Did she love giving oral and did she enjoy doing so? Has she ever tried anal and did she like it? Has she ever been spanked?
She replied with never have been spanked but for some reason imagining being turned over on a man's lap and having her bare ass spanked made her excited enough to make her cunt juices flow. Debbie also said that she had never been fucked in the ass but have always wanted to try it. And finally she said that she loved receiving and giving oral sex.
At the end of her email she said that I didn't tell her much about myself either and what did I like? Then she got real daring and asked me about my cock. How big was it? How thick was it? Did I have hairy balls?
In my return email I gave her my phone number and told her to call me; mentioning nothing else. An hour went by and I gave up on receiving a phone call from Debbie. I thought that maybe she decided to forget everything seems I was impotent. Well soon after the phone rang; I picked it up and heard a sweat voice say, "Hi, this is Debbie." She said that she picked the phone up several times wanting to call but got nervous and put it back on the receiver seems this would be the first time she would be cheating on her husband. She thought what would happen if she didn't call? Would I stop emailing her? Then she wondered what I would want if she did call? Would I want to meet her? Of course I would!
I said hello Debbie. Your voice sounds very nice.
Her voice was shaking as she said, "You didn't answer my questions."
In a quick response I said, "My cock was average size hard, about 6 inches, but very thick being about 6 and a half inches in circumference. Now if you can't imagine a 6 and a half inch circumference penis that is about as round as a normal mans wrist. You won't get your fingers around it touching ends and it will certainly stretch your vagina open. I also told her that I went impotent a few years ago after a stroke but was in the final paperwork at the moment for a penis implant and so that she could feel penetrated I told her that I would stop at a near-by supermarket and pick up a vegetable that would for sure send her into an orgasm that she would never believe possible. To finish my answers I told her that my cock and balls were always shaved clean and smooth and that she wouldn't be dental flossing her teeth while sucking my cock."
There was sort of a long pause by her so I asked, "Is something wrong?"
She said no, "I'm now talking to a strange man about the size of his penis!"
I then asked her about her breasts and she told me that they were an all natural 38C cup. "Oh my God," she said, "You must really think I'm sooooo terrible. Here I am talking to you about your cock and my tits."
I told her that I didn't think that she was terrible and that her breast size sounded like a nice size.
After a short pause I told her that I thought we should meet and what would be a good time for her. Well seems her husband just left that morning for California she asked if tonight would be ok with me and I said yes. I asked if everything was favorable could we go back to her home. She said yes, that she lived in the country and that her nearest neighbor was a mile away and she was the last home on the road. No one would know that she had a strange man in her home while her husband was away and I could hide my car in her garage in case someone did happen to come along; which she really doubted they would.
It's now six o'clock Thursday evening and we meet at a small restaurant in a part of her town that she had never been too so she had little fear of anyone seeing her with me. I got there first and went inside and choice a booth in the back part of the restaurant so that we would be less visible. It was a week day night so not many people were seated inside. Ten minutes later I saw her walking around looking for me. Debbie was wearing a button down blouse and a mid-thigh length skirt. She knew it was me in the back because I sent her a photo of myself over email and approached me saying hello. I replied with hello back and said to have a seat, pointing to the bench opposite me. We both ordered a soft drink to hold the seat to be able to chat and to get more familiar with each other.
I told her that she undersold herself in the looks department and that she looked remarkably gorgeous. Her face got hot and red with embarrassment as I said that and she thanked me for the compliment. My gaze kept going to her breast. She didn't have a bra on and the a/c in the restaurant was making her nipples poke against the material of her blouse leaving nothing to my imagination. She caught me looking a couple of times and her face filled with blood to a bright blushing red but she didn't try to cover her tits up. As if she wanted me to see more of her breast she reached up and unbuttoned the second button on her blouse. For sure I got a glimpse of her deep cleavage as she bent slightly forward reaching for a napkin and she blushed again as I licked my lips. Drinking half of my sprite I excused myself and went to the bathroom. When I returned I sat next to her in the booth. Looking around the room I saw that no one was paying any attention to us so I put my arm around her shoulder and my other hand slid inside her open blouse to gently fondle her bra free breast. My fingers started to pinch, rub and caress her nipple into a more rigid hardness. After a few minutes of this I removed my hand from her breast and slid it under the table. I whispered in her ear that I was going to explore under her skirt. She put both of her arms on the table and nervously spread her legs so that I could have the access that I wanted.
My hand starting at her knee and slowly slid up her leg rubbing and caressing against her inner thigh. Soon I was at the crotch of her panties and they were soaking wet from her cunt juices leaking out. I slid my fingers the length of her panty crotch feeling the defined shape of her outer and inner labia. Looking into her eyes I pulled her panty crotch aside noticing that she was smoothly shaved. She sat still as one of my fingers split her pussy lips apart and my finger easily slipped inside of her wet cunt. I slowly finger fucked her in the restaurant booth and she started to squirm on my hand. Next thing I know is she is softly whispering in my ear that she needs more privacy. She said that she needed me to make her cum really soon so I paid for the two drinks and we walked out of the restaurant. Once outside I put my arm around her waist and could feel that she was walking on shaky legs. Getting in our own cars I follow her to her home which was only about 15 minutes away.
When we got to her front door she was having trouble trying to get her key in the lock because of nervousness. I reached out and took the key from her hand and unlocked the door. Holding it open for her to walk in first I followed behind. She turned and faced me as soon as the door was closed and locked; pushing me back against the door. My hands went straight to her tits. As I caressed and squeezed them I tenderly enclosing her nipples between two fingers and she moaned. She grabbed between my legs rubbing my cock and balls.
I put one hand behind her head and pressed my mouth to hers. Our tongues fought with each other trying to get in the others mouth and I gave in letting her slid her tongue into my mouth and sucked on it gently.
I pulled my mouth away from hers asking where the bedroom was. She grabbed my hand and led me to it and then I pushed her back against the bed so she was sprawled across it. Her skirt flew up around her hips and her bare legs instantly spread wide apart. I then unbuckled my belt, pulled down my zipper and let my pants drop to the floor as I reached to remove her soaking wet panties. I sniffed the crotch of them, letting the musky aroma drive my senses crazy with arousal and then tossed them over my shoulder.
I reached in my travel bag to pull out the ear of corn that I bought at the supermarket. The ear of corn was about 8 inches long and as thick as my cock in circumstance. I placed a condom over it and then lubed it with KY. Getting back on the bed I spread her legs wide and got between them. I moved the ear of corn up and down her slit, slowly separating it till I saw her tunnel of love. Placing the ear of corn at the entrance I slowly applied pressure. A loud gasp escaped her lips as two inches of the ear entered her pussy, stretching it to a width that she had never felt before. I let it sit there for a few seconds till her cunt walls could adjust to the girth. Then I slowly pulled out an inch only to slide it back in about 4 inches this time. Debbie turned her head to the side, closing her eyes and moaning like a slut in heat. She began to beg me to put more of that corn into her cunt so I pulled out and quickly slid it all the way in till I could barely hang on to it. A very loud scream escaped her lips and I was glad that her neighbors where at least a mile away. She started screaming for me to fuck her hard and that I did. The corn acted like a ribbed dildo and I was fucking her with it hard and fast by now; tipping the cob slightly upward so that the ribbed effect rubbed against her g-spot. She was thrashing wildly on her bed now, begging for me to make her cum quickly. She couldn't stand the pleasure any longer and needed to cum. To make it happen more quickly I placed the palm of my hand just above to V of her mound and pushed down applying a little pressure. That did it, forcing her g-spot to put pressure on the ear of corn she started to shake and thrash violently and I pulled the ear of corn out as she squirted her cum at least four foot away. When she stopped squirting I shoved the ear back into her pussy and kept fucking her into multiple orgasms. After about two minutes of continuous orgasms she finally started to come down; unable to speak or move on the bed from the violent orgasm for about five minutes after. When she was finally able to speak she told me that she had never had such an orgasm in her life and she sure wanted it to happen again and again. She said that she knew her husband could never do that to her; he couldn't even fuck her properly because all he thought about was his own pleasure and didn't care if she got hers or not.
I didn't want for her to lose the feeling she had because I had plans of giving her more multiple orgasms and didn't want to start from scratch again. So as we lay side by side chatting I kept rubbing her pussy lips with my fingers but making sure that I didn't come close to her clit because it would be too sensitive at this time from her orgasm.
Looking at the clock I noticed that an hour and a half had passed by. We still had a long night to go because I wasn't near done pleasing her yet. She was my wife for the night and she knew it.
I rolled her over on her back and placed my index finger on her forehead. Very slowly I moved my finger down along her nose. With my finger now at the tip of her nose I leaned over and gently kissed the spot on her forehead that my finger had just left. My finger by now had moved down and traced around the outline of her lips. At the same time my lips had moved to the tip of her nose and lightly kissed it. Moving my finger down again my lips touched hers and soon my tongue was in her mouth giving her a long passionate French kiss.
While French kissing her lips passionately my finger trailed down between her heaving breasts. I visited each of her nipples with my finger while leaving a cool trail behind with my tongue as it joined in licking and sucking on her nipples. She was moaning loudly and passionately by this time; hardly able to catch her breath. Again she was begging me to make her cum but I like to tease and ignored her request.
As I was licking and sucking her nipples my finger started to move downward again. It slowly moved across her tummy, headed for her pussy. She said that her mind was having trouble dealing with my tongue licking her nipples as my finger was running up and down her outside labia. I didn't enter her pussy with my finger, just passed it up and down each side of her trembling pussy lips. At that moment my tongue left her tits and nipples, following the same trail that my finger had explored. Knowing what was about to happen she pulled her knees up to her tits, spreading her legs wide open so that my face could get to her pussy easily. Soon my tongue trailed the same path as my finger had along her trembling outer labia lips. Debbie was so turned on that her pussy was leaking cum like a river. I kept going back cleaning and licking it up to swallow.
I loved the taste of your musky and slightly salty pussy juice and didn't want to leave that part of my teasing you but did. With her knees resting on her tits so that her pussy lips where spread wide open now for me to see inside I ran my tongue down along her inner labia lips. I tickled the hole she pees from inside of her pussy with the tip of my tongue and she jumped then moaned loudly again. I still have not even touched her clit with my finger or tongue yet making her beg for relief. But still I ignored her request. My tongue finally running down to the end of her cunt and I now flicked it over her asshole. I applied a little pressure with the tip of my tongue on her asshole as if trying to get it inside. She really moaned when I did that saying that no one had ever tried to tongue fuck her ass before and that she loved the feel of it.
I didn't stay on her ass to long and began to move up her sloppy wet cunt again but this time I went for her clit. She was very hot at this moment and I finally flicked my tongue over her clit causing her to peak again. She said that her cunt was tingling incredibly and soon went into another mind blowing orgasm. I just kept licking and sucking on her clit till she exploded her thick cum into my mouth several times for me to swallow. Her orgasm this time was stronger than her last and she couldn't handle any more till she could get control of herself again. I stayed down between her legs just watching her pussy spasm as she was trying to catch her breath once again. Her cum was running out of her pussy and I leaned my head in closer licking up her juices just before they started to run into her ass crack. I stayed clear of her clit again knowing that she would be extremely sensitive this time around. She was so exhausted that she couldn't move again. She just lay there letting me lick her; taking my pleasure in licking her discharging cum clean of her snatch.
After she laid there for awhile in my arms and letting her body and heart settle down she realized that I hadn't orgasmed yet; that all the pleasure so far was hers. That's the way I like it; make sure the woman is well pleasured first before getting my own. She jumped up and said that it was my turn to be pleasured by her and that she loved to suck cock and swallow cum. Debbie apologized for her actions and said that it had been so long since she had been satisfied that she just couldn't stop me from taking control of her body. She said that she loved being the submissive and letting me dominate her totally.
Debbie then got up and kissed me on my lips, tasting her cum on my lips. She stuck your tongue in my mouth getting an even stronger taste of her cum. I told her not to lick too much of her flavor out of my mouth because I loved it and wanted to go home thinking of the evening we had here tonight and tasting her pussy juice all the way home. She wrapped her arms tightly around me as we keep on passionately kissing. Debbie grabbed a hold of my partially hard cock, knowing that it would not get any harder, stroking it with one hand and massaging my swollen balls with her other hand. I said that what she was doing felt so good but then she knew that from the way I was moaning. She said that she wanted to suck my cock till I cum in your mouth and I replied, "What are you waiting for? I am so horny for you and need you to relieve me now."
I closed my eyes as Debbie pulled away to kneel in front of me still stroking my semi hard shaft. Just then she leaned down and sucked the head of my cock between her lips and I moaned in pleasurable satisfaction as Debbie's' tongue swirled around the head of my cock. Her lips wrapped tighter around my cock as she increased the speed of her up and down movements. Pulling my cock almost out of her mouth so that only the head was still in her mouth she tried to shove the tip of her tongue into the slit at the end of my cock head. It felt so good as she started sliding the tip of her tongue along the groove of my cock slit. Debbie made me moan loudly from the sensitive feeling her tongue was causing on the head of my cock. Occasionally Debbie would slip my cock out of her mouth to gently suck and lick my balls. Just from the moans coming from Debbie's mouth I knew she really enjoyed sucking my cock.
I turned Debbie around so that I could lick her pussy again as she sucked my cock. I loved the sweet, slightly salty and musky taste of her pussy. As soon as she sat on my face I could feel how wet and dripping you cunt became again just from sucking my cock. I gladly licked and swallowed every bit of her sweet cum that she could get out of your pussy after cumming so many times earlier.
Debbie could feel my heart beating faster as I got closer to my orgasm so she speeded up her sucking and licking trying her best to get me over the edge. My hands came up to play with her hair and push her head closer to me. Seems I couldn't get a total erection Debbie took my whole cock into her mouth. It felt so wonderful feeling her mouth clamp tightly around the base of my cock while her tongue moved as much as it could around the thickness of my cock.
I know had my mouth wrapped around your clit trying to give Debbie one more final orgasm of the night. I wanted her to be totally sexually pleasured and desire to call me back one day soon. Sucking her clit with my lips and flicking my tongue over it at the same time was bringing her close to yet another orgasm.
Knowing that you were getting close to cumming again you started sucking my cock extremely hard hoping that we would orgasm at the same time. You were sucking so hard that I thought that just maybe you could suck a grapefruit through a soda straw. I knew for sure that when you got me to cum that the suction you had on my cock would definitely drain my balls dry.
I started twisting and bucking on the bed and said that I was about ready to cum. You took your mouth off of my cock just long enough to say, "Go ahead and cum in my mouth. I can't wait to taste your full load as it shoots across my tongue."
My whole body stiffened up, my balls felt like they were going to be sucked inside out from the pressure of your suction. I felt my cum moving out of my balls and along the length of my cock as I shot one of the biggest loads of cum ever. As soon as you felt my hot cum hit your mouth you screamed and pushed your cunt onto my face so hard that I could hardly breathe. I quickly shoved two fingers in your cunt and my thumb up your ass bringing you to yet another tremendous orgasm greater than any your husband had ever given you.
You were desperately trying to swallow every bit of my cum as I shot load after load into your mouth. I couldn't stop cumming and you didn't stop sucking. There was so much cum that some of it leaked out around your mouth. After about 6 large gushes of cum from my cock I finally felt my balls empty out; they were drained. You licked the cum that slipped out of your mouth off your lips with your fingers and pushed it back into your mouth to swallow and said, "That was so incredible. I love licking you clean after." You were amazed at how sweet my cum tasted compared to your husbands and ask why. I said that I don't have the bitter taste because I don't smoke or drink all that much.
Looking at the clock now I noticed that 4 hours had pasted since we started fucking. She couldn't believe how quickly the time had gone by and said, "I want you to know that this has been a most wonderful experience for me. I have never cum so hard or so many times in one night."
I had to admit too that I had more fun than I have in years. I told her that she was a very pretty woman and I am glad that we had this time together and that I didn't know about her but I love to do this again sometime. She agreed and said, "You bet! I would like to do this again. We will just have to wait till my husband goes back on the road again and that won't be all that long. She said that she loved her husband because he was a good provider but knew that he could never please her the way that I did. Then she said that I didn't spank her and she was looking forward to the excitement of it.
As I was getting dressed to head back home I told her to call me when she was ready to do it again. I then said that the next time we meet I would not only be sure to spank her bare ass but I was going to take her virginity there.
She just smiled and said that she could hardly wait for the next time to get together again and still being naked, jumped out of bed to give me a kiss good-bye on the lips then walked me to the door. Yes, at the door she was still naked.

The speaker went from addressing the story in general to addressing the story to the reader. i.e. Her pussy became Your pussy in the middle of the story. Clean up these up and it's a good story.

Bruised lower fibula treatment/recovery09/25/2006 |
About 2 months ago, I took a puck off the lower fibula playing ice hockey. An x-ray apparently showed no fracturing, so no cast was applied, just crutches for a few days. Stayed off for 3 weeks, then went on an active trip (toughed through the pain, stupid but thats what I did) for two weeks. Returned and have stayed off since (4 weeks). The injury does not seem to be improving now, I can walk without a limp, but cannot run. Long walking periods cause some swelling and pain. But with no fracture, only treatment I`ve been advised of is time. To the touch, feels like a hard bump on the bone. Advice?
Thank you for your question. Based upon your mechanism of injury and current state, I would consider your problem to be either a bone bruise or a possible stress fracture.
With a bone bruise, the outermost layer of the bone (periosteum) can be lifted off the bone and blood will fill in under the space between the periosteum and the bone. This blood can then harden and possible calcify into bone over time. There are a number of treatments you can get at a Sports Medicine Clinic to reverse and/or limit this possibility.
Stress fractures may not show up on an initial x-ray. With our athletes, we will often obtain a second x-ray one to two weeks after the initial x-ray. Recurrent swelling in an area is one (of many) signs of a possible stress fracture. Depending on where the stress fracture is located, treatment can vary from simply modifying activities to using a walking cast.
Although you have been able to tough it out up to this point, I would recommend you follow up with your physician so you can get the proper diagnosis and then begin the best treatment to get you back out on the ice playing hockey.

About Mayors Against Illegal Guns
Since its inception in April 2006, Mayors Against Illegal Guns has grown from 15 mayors to more than 850 mayors from across the country. We have more than a million grassroots supporters, making us the largest gun violence prevention advocacy organization in the country. The bipartisan coalition, co-chaired by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, has united the nation's mayors around these common goals: protecting their communities by holding gun offenders and irresponsible gun dealers accountable; demanding access to trace data that is critical to law enforcement efforts to combat illegal gun trafficking; and working with legislators to fix gaps, weaknesses and loopholes in the law that make it far too easy for criminals and other prohibited purchasers to get guns.
