The story of how I lost my virginity to my friend
This is the story of how I lost my virginity to my friend at the age of sixteen.
Within my friends and people around me there had always been a slight question about my sexuality. Most people however assumed that I was merely "camp" and although I may act loud and sometimes fall into the category of an extrovert I do not in fact "take it up the chuff" as my friends would so delicately put it.I was an average 16 year old, quite tall, jet black hair with quite a strong build (as I'd spent the past few months training at the gym) and a modest face. My friends were all very good looking but one above all was the best called Jason. He had avergae length gold hair and a stunning face, but these were minor details to those who had ever got a glimpse of his body. The hours he had put in at the gym had paid off and he maintained the build of a relatively averaged sized sixteen year old but boasted an extroadinary six pack complete with a light brown "snail trail" running from his belly button downwards... The first time I ever saw his cock was after a night out when he used my shower and another friend of mine who had stayed at mine thought it would be funny to take pictures of him... of course I was up for this but made out of course that this was for joking purposes only. His cock was superb... about 8inches in length with a perfect pink head on the end of it and trimmed pubes surrounding it, (although these were soaking wet at this point and were flattened down)... if I had a pound for every time I bust one off to that picture I'd be a millionaire.
When Jason and I were paired together for an english assignment however I could never have prepared myself for what we did when he came over to work on it. For about a year, as I'd been exploring my sexuality, I regularly watched gay porn, downloaded gay pictures and even chatted to gay men online if only for some dirty chat or to exhange intimate pictures. I was careful though to delete my browsing history so that my family would never find out... except for this day. I was downstairs getting the two of us drinks and had left my laptop with Jason to do research. However, when he typed in the web address of a revision website, he stumbled upon gay sites. If I'd have known at that moment that he had found them I would have ran upstairs with a million excuses... but with hindsight I'm glad I didn't because if I had what happened next would never have happened.
I came into my room to find jason sitting in my computer chair staring at me with a fixed gaze. I didn't know what to make of this and placed the drink next to him on the computer desk, leaving him with his thoughts. I then went over to my book shelf, unknowing, and began to search for my english books. Suddenly, he sprang from his chair and before I had time to question him he grabbed me by the waist and kissed me.
For about a minute, we were locked together - our tongues battling eachother both viciosly and lovingly at the same time. However much I may have longed for this situation, and however hard my penis was getting inside my skinny genes, I had to push him back, if atleast to question the situation.
"I found your interent files, Dave" he said to me, with a cock sure expression on his face staring down at the ever increasing bulgein my trousers " And I know how much you enjoyed that kiss"
I had no come back. He obviously had seen my internet history and it was becoming ever more apparent that i did enjoy it. In a momentary lapse of judgement, I forgot about everything in my life and lunged forward at him. We began kissing again but this time more sensually. I moved my hands from his waist and slid them simultaeously down the back of his jogging bottoms and his boxers until I had an entirely firm grip of his tense hairy ass... the one I had imagined myself pounding for months. As i gropped and squeezed his ass he unbuckled my belt and began kissing my neck seductively. I instinctively began to let out deep longing moans and this seemed to give him the driving force to apply more pressure from his lips and carress my neck all the more. Finally, my buckle came loose and he unzipped my jeans and they dropped around my ankles. At this moment we both stepped back and I moved onto the bed, lying on my back, now shirtless in my tight calvin klein boxers.
As I lay on the bed, my left hand down my pants fondling my erect penis, he performed a tease for me... forcing the pre cum to ooze out of my dick. He pulled the polo shirt over his head and stood with his hands on his head tensing his biceps for me whilst licking his lips at me. Then he pulled down his jogging bottoms in a quick move to reveal a pair of white boxers with his beautiful penis waiting inside for my mouth... I'd never seen his dick hard before (even through his boxers) but it was even more fantastic than seeing it soft, something I never thought possible. He then knelt down in front of the bed, still wearing his boxers, and grabbed me by the thigh on each leg and pulled me closer to the edge of the bed. He started kissing at my penis throught the boxers before slowly peeling them down from the top and kissing my dark black pubes with the same lust that he had applied to my neck. Throughout this I contiually moaned with pleasure.
"Ever had a guy suck your dick before?" he asked me casually.
I shook my head to which he gave a chuckle and unleashed himself upon my cock like a wild animal. He grabbed the 7 inch dick and spit all over the head pulling it up and down until my dick was wet from tom to bottom. Then he shoved it into his mouth and began deepthroating it forcing all seven hard inches
to the back of his throat each time creating a large gagging noise which only spurred me on to continue. I placed my hands onto the back of his head and began thrusting his head down upon my penis with all my might, his choking sounds increasing each time till eventually he moved his head off my cock for air.
He then began to, instead, lick my penis and then to my hairy balls which he both licked and sucked on for several minutes.
He eventually stopped at which point he stood up infront of the bed his groin now level with my head. The hardness of his dick was so immense through his boxers that even the veins on his dick were visible through the thin maaterial. I poured my tongue out onto his snail trail as I'd always wanted to do and descended downwards so that I was eventually carressing his pubes in a similar way that he had done to me. But it was the cock sucking that was the amazing part. A cock so long yet so thick which bursting thick veins travelling through it and a very low pair of balls danging from it's base. I did this for minutes, as i was doing so, reaching round to his ass with my hand and trying to slide a finger into his tight asshole.
When this was done, we both knew what was coming.He forced me onto my back and lay ontop of me kissing me passionately. He then said lustfully: "You ready to have your first cock inside of you?"
I gave a slow nod and then spread my legs open wide whilst he went over to his bag and pulled out a packet of lube and a condom. I watched lovingly as he rolled back the extra large condom onto his perfect cock immensely turned on by the knowledge of where that cock was heading. He then stooped down low and before applying the lubricant to my ass hole, began licking it with his tongue and spreading it to its limits (which were very minimal) with his fingers. Between licks he would urge me saying
"you like that dont you?" to which I would scream "yes!" in reply. His tongue felt so amazing rimming my tight ass hole and it was obvious that he'd done this many time before from the way he mixed it up between stroking the hole with his tognue delicately and actually putting it onto my hole and liking it out.
Then he ripped open the packet and poured the lube onto his fingers and began applying it to my ass hole. My dick was so hard at this point that it felt like it would explode. He looked down at me and asked "are you ready?". I nodded at him anxiously.The first feeling of his hard dick entering my ass was so painful I thought I might cry. His immense dick struggling my ass hole from it's initial tightness to a wide entry for his dick, was killing me but after he began motioning it in and out this feeling turned to absolute pleasure as he repeatedly rammed my ass making me scream the house down with my loud moans. He started to go faster, at this point lying on top of me kissing me through my screams of pleasure. I began to dig my hands into his arse and squeezed it tight depending on how much pleasure i was recieving (meaning i was squeezing as tightly as possible). He roared at me to say his name and so through my load moans I would pant the name Jason and tell him he's the best. This continued for what was the best 4-5 minutes of my life.
Then he said "Oh god I'm gonna come" and pulled his dick out of me and pulled the condom off. I sat up on the edge of the bed, my eyes closed and opened my mouth as he jacked off his massive cock in front of my face. The 20 seconds or so that it took him to come were so hot - the waititng for it to hit my face were amazing. Then I felt the splat of the hot come hit my face and go into my mouth. He unleashed so much that it felt like my mouth was full. I looked up at him with my come filled face and swallowed the warm come, much to his delight. We then switched positions and he began to jack me off at a ridiculous speed. Before I cummed he wrapped his lips around the end of my cock so that no come would be wasted and as i moaned with pleasure at releasing my load I watched his face as it poured into his mouth. Before spitting or swallowing it though, he stood up (with his mouth still full of cum) and we started kissing again, cum spewing out of our mouths onto our chests and swapping between each mouth.
For the next few minutes we just lay on the bed together kissing... we both knew what we had done was wrong but god it just felt so fucking right.

Enjoyed the story and although I prefer sucking a good clean cock t ill it shrinks back to normal, I occasionally like to have my ass fucked and a good load installed and then have the guy bend down and lick up what he left and then a good tongue smooching to end a great evening. really like that hot cum.

Loved your story very much! Left me so horny wanting a hard cock in my ass. I love the feeling so a big hard cock deep in my ass or mouth but prefer it in my ass thou! It has been at least two years since, I've had cock in either one of my holes sure do miss it. I'm a married bi male in my early 60's love pussy but every so often, I want a big thick hard cock in my ass.

There are few things in life as tragic as the state of affairs in homes where cystic fibrosis is draining the lives of young children. A few short years ago, children born with this breath-robbing disease were likely to die before the age of five or six; before even having the early-life joy of beginning schooling. Parents were often awake throughout the night, struggling to drain their child's lungs of choking mucus; mucus that would redevelop as quickly as it could be depleted. The thick, sticky fluid would block the airways, damage the lungs, and bring about early death.
Today, fortunately, some with this suffocating illness can, with constant effort, live to their 20s, 30s, or longer. Today, about 30,000 American children (70,000 world-wide) are fighting back against this killer.
Ten-year-old Sarah Murnaghan of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania is a victim of cystic fibrosis. She is in dire need of a lung transplant; without it, she will die. Sarah is now on a ventilator, confined at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia until she dies or receives a life-saving lung-transplant.
Sarah's hopes of living are small; last year, only 20 lung transplants were completed in children under the age of 11. Sarah's parents and friends are desperate for a change to the system. As it is today, persons over the age of 12 receive these transplants according to need; those most likely to die soonest receive the first available lungs for implantation. But for those like Sarah, under age 12, the lungs are given accordingly to where they are on a waiting list; need is not an issue, only the time on the list is considered.
Sarah's mother heads the family movement to change the law, to allow Sarah to live and be happy. Change takes time. All involved agree that it is unfair for any person or group to have a final say in who shall die and who live. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius is working on behalf of Sarah to ask the source of organs for transplant, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, to review its policies. That agency is not-for-profit, and under contract with the federal government. Secretary Sebelius seeks a "transparent, deliberative review, as soon as possible" of policies to make more transplants available to children consistent with the goals of fairness and best use of organs. In addition, the Murnaghan family is searching for private donors for last resort surgery.
Fairness is important. We can only hope that the young girl receives lifesaving help in time.

spiders and moon
I can't claim we have an ocean of creativity and wonder freefalling all around us, but we do have this:
Every night before bed, M and J-Dog go outside and sit on our porch. It's their time, and I choose not to invade it but every so often I hear lifts and lilts of their voices. This is something M looks forward to every night. Just as it's getting late she starts asking for spiders and moon and off they go into the dark majesty of the evening.
Last night I asked what it was they spoke of. J said they talk about sounds and bugs and cats and spiders and the moon and cars and sirens. And how she sits still in his lap and holds his hands in hers. And then we realized we'd created a ritual - one where over the years the talk will expand to feelings and friends and boys or girls and love and life and politics and travel....and that they'll always have that time together and she'll have that to look forward to, every single night. Her time with her father, where anything is open for discussion. In fact, they are outside again tonight as I type this post; M with her blanket and chatter and J-Dog with his parka and heart of gold.
And how very blessed that makes us, safe and warm and loving, in our own corner of darkness and light.

Wow. It's pretty hard to make me cry, so congratulations on that.
And, on having a great J-Dog and wonderful little M!
Penny hearts Jen et al.. - 8:11 AM
That is wonderful. I have pretty fond memories of some rituals my dad came up with too...J-Dog sounds like a super-cool dude. You are a lucky dog, Ms. Jen!
What a wonderful way to create memories for M! It is something she will carry for a lifetime, long after she's grown up and moved away, starting her own life. She will then pass it along to her children.
It just doesn't get much better than that. :)

Wow. That's gorgeous. It's neat how these rituals just kind of come upon you as a family. I think those are the best kind of rituals, not the ones you try to force...
- daufiero said...
Beautiful. Lucky.
My husband makes pancakes on Sunday morning. At first, I was grumpy about it because they're not nutritious (OK, I don't really like pancakes and I miss going OUT for Sunday breakfast), but soon I realized that it was a ritual, and now, I too look forward to it. - 10:16 AM

How great that you get to stay inside and listen to the sounds of the murmuring and laughing. I still remember skipping alog next to my dad on "star walks" while he told tales of greek gods and constellations and held my hand. A forever gift.
- KC said...
What a lovely ritual for J-dog and M. And the thought of you, there, loving from inside and giving them time to grow is equally magical.
Our ritual appears to be a pre-nightly bath endzone football touchdown spaz dance involving Joles holding maracas. And me doing the Running Man and The Charleston and The Twist. And JP watching with amazement and a wee bit of horror. It's not pretty. But, it's ours. - 12:19 PM
I love that...
Our fave is that everytime there is a bright moon we all go outside to say hello...
So now there is much hysteria when the moon is spotted..anywhere, driving home, whatever and is greeted with loud 'HELLOOOO MOOON' or 'HELLOOOO LUNA'
But they are not afraid of the night anyway. - 12:20 PM

You know what else is great about this story?
Girls grow up emulating their mothers and seeking men like their fathers ~ they learn all about human relations, spousal relations and interaction in the first five years of their life, by watching their parents interract with each other, themselves and others.
M will grow up with the sense that this is the way things should be and that it is important to have a man that loves her, supports her emotionally and that gives his all to her children.
It is a beautiful tradition that, as traditions do, should carry on into her future for the benefit of herself, her mate and her children.
Good Job growing your person! - 12:23 PM
Those are the precious things aren't they? And it's surprising how the little things mean so much. D is much in love with the coffee and cookie Wednesday run...as much as I am with the Italian eye candy behind the counter. Everyone wins.
btw, D and I love to look at the moon, too. Down south we have the pleasure of trying to figure out what the flying things are: birds, bats, or mosquitoes! - 12:52 PM
- Deezee said...
This is too beautiful for words.
For a father and daughter to build a treasury of such experiences, simply magical. Not many get to have such rich dialogues.
That's one fine man you have lurking on your porch and you're one fine woman to step back and facilitate those intimate exchanges. - 2:20 PM
This is so beautiful. What an amazing gift, to have the two of them being together, really together, every night on the porch.
(My husband makes pancakes every Sunday morning too.) - 2:53 PM
Gorgeous. Simply beautiful and lovely. What a wonderful ritual - completely magical. My heart smiled and my eyes welled up with tears when reading this.
- acumamakiki said...
I loved this story, especially picturing M sitting on J-Dog and their ritual. I know that watching M with A, is the one thing that can warm my cranky-assed heart when he's being a ick-de.
I crave rituals because we lacked them too ~ which must be why I save everything, wanting mementos and photos to capture and memorialize. - 6:21 PM
- metro mama said...
Lovely. Simply lovely. My husband is a director (theatre) which means that he works 6 evenings a week. Evenings are my time with Miss M. We always roll on the bed and play 5 little monkeys before tubby time. We also jump in puddles after every rain.
My husand takes the morning shift-from 9-12 before the sitter comes. What they get up to, I'll never know but I am thrilled they have their own block of time completely apart from me. - 8:27 PM
Lovely, too lovely.
And gives me a lot to think about. - 6:33 AM

This made me cry like none other. What an extraordinary family you have, that you've created.

I can barely type this comment, as I can't see through the tears!
- mothergoosemouse said...
How fantastic that you've set the stage for years of conversations to come, as well as established a wonderful ritual.
And I really like the idea of an everyday ritual - it's special and yet familiar and comforting. - 3:52 PM
I have a similar ritual with my son... and I'm drafting a post on it right now (taking my time to get the right words). What a beautiful ritual you have for your daughter.
- Wystful1 said...
This is just such a beautiful entry in your blog!! The family -- personally, I think there is nothing better in this life!!
(I've not visited here before, and I found you through a link from a comment you left in someone's blog)---I'm glad I stopped by. - 11:24 AM

That is a wonderful story. What wonderful memories your husband is creating for himself and little M.

Synopsis: A full-flavored neutrino calculation
Supernova explosions caused by the collapse of stellar cores are a vital part of cosmic nucleosynthesis, so researchers would like to better understand how these events occur. One way is to analyze the time evolution of the emitted neutrinos that are copiously generated during the first ten seconds after a star's collapse. However, neutrinos are chameleons of the particle world—they change identities from one flavor (electron, muon, tau) to another as they pass from the collapsing core to our terrestrial detectors. This makes understanding a neutrino signal exceedingly complex. In a paper in Physical Review Letters, Alexander Friedland at Los Alamos National Laboratory, US, reports new calculations that address some of this complexity head-on.
In contrast to the situation for solar neutrinos, in supernova explosions the density of the streaming neutrinos near the core region is so large that their interactions with each other ("self-refraction") become important. These interactions lock the oscillating neutrinos of different energies into a collective mode. Instead of dealing with a single-particle evolution problem, one is now presented with a problem of the system evolving as a whole.
Friedland has carried out a calculation of the self-refraction effect several seconds into the explosion—as the collapsed core begins to cool—and shows that a full three-flavor computation reveals new effects. In particular, unusual patterns in the neutrino energy spectrum are seen as one flavor changes into another, and in the antineutrino spectrum a new "mixed" spectrum appears. It will be vital to understand such effects, especially if plans go forward for studying galactic supernovae at a new large neutrino detector at the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Lab in South Dakota. – David Voss

Postcards from Mommywood: Too Sexy, Too Soon
Tween-age girls seducing boys? Believe it.
-Diane Clehane
As the mother of a five-year-old girl, I often wonder how I'm going to protect my daughter from an overtly sexual culture that seems to relentlessly bombard kids with images of seductive clothes, music, television shows and movies. Granted, she's not even in kindergarten yet, so I have some time before this becomes a real concern.
Still, any time I shop for clothes for her, I'm reminded that childhood isn't what it used to be. Hip huggers, sequins, and pint-sized versions of sexy adult clothes abound – but not in my house. My daughter has been taught that glitter is cheesy. Sometimes my rules make it difficult to shop for clothes, but we manage.
Editing a girl's wardrobe is comparatively easy, though; what's much harder is protecting her against the images of overly enthusiastic girly crushes on boys, and tales of first loves that are more suitable for much older kids. With the likes of Hannah Montana and her real-life counterpart, Miley Cyrus (I'm not a fan of either of them), and any number of shows targeted to young adults but watched by tweens (Gossip Girl and every reality show out there, especially the stomach-turning Jersey Shore) our children are being exposed to aggressively sexual images and behavior at a much earlier age than ever before.
And how's this for reality? A while back Jamie Lynn Spears, the star of Zoey 101, was all of 17 when she announced that she was pregnant. She was Nickelodeon's biggest star, for goodness' sake! She celebrated the birth of her child with a glowing cover story in OK! Magazine. What lesson do you think her fans learned from that?
What concerns me the most is that I think some girls' behavior may be affected by all this. I don't know if there's any correlation, but I have been struck by the number of moms I know who have told me their young sons – yes, you are reading this right – have been "stalked" by girls eager to begin a romantic relationship.
Read Postcards from Mommywood: How Motherhood Taught Me to Be a Financial Grownup
I know this is all anecdotal, but no fewer than three mothers of boys between the ages of 11 and 14 have told me that they've had to tell the girls to cool it. And, says one, her son was relieved by his mother's intervention. "I think he was feeling the pressure to go along with it because it's what the other kids were doing, but he's not ready," she told me. "He couldn't find a way to tell this girl to back off, so I did, and both of us are tremendously relieved."

We haven't had hot water since the beginning of Feb!! Ours was only 25 years old but it rusted through…I'm unemployed right now and boiling water is cheaper than the $600 installation fee (Alabama Power will give you a free heater for switching from gas to electric). I guess we'll get there eventually!
Dang that long! I guess Im lucky for now that my apartment takes care of all that mess haha
we just bought a new one recently i think the one that was in our house was over 20 years old..made lots of noises and went out a lot!! scary
I haven't had an issues luckily.
Wow – 75 years. That's pretty lucky.
The bottom of my water heater rusted out. Luckily I was home and heard it dripping and got it replaced.
grew up without hot water.you still can survive.No as well as you would like,but..
Wow that must have been quite the shock when you were finding out for the first time about the water heater!! I'm surprised it lasted so long, but when it hardly had to work in the Summer that probably made it's life longer!! :0)

Nah, my M80's headband is intact. =]
You better pull the trigger when they drop to $160s again later. Swift as a ninja.
The stock length of the cables is a bit much for me (~4.5 feet), so I built a new 3.5-foot one for mine.
And some damaging their headbands.
Yeah... I think I may be one. On the upper part of the headband a part was bulging out a little and I was able to snap it back into place. Idk what I broke... FRICK! I just got there a day ago and I broke them!?
Same thing happened to me. cannot be fixed alone, send them back.
I tried adjusting the angle of the cups and I'm almost certain that's what caused them to break recently.
Ahh sorry to hear that...
It worked quite well for me...I barely feel the earcups on top of my ears now. There's still some fatigue after a few hours (since they are on-ears). I did compare these to the Beats Solo and the Beats are more comfortable...BUT these blow them out of the water in sound quality.
I can't seem to find the pro boom mic on the official website...does anyone have it? I really want to buy one and a splitter to make a gaming headset combo.
I really would've liked to get the M100s...they fill everything I want in my book...but it's $300...
I am also quite happy with my M80s atm.
I think itll be on sale when the M-100 officially releases.
I shifted these back further behind my ear and OH MAN, the bass got a lot stronger. I like it. But I wish it 20hZ-30hZ was not so quiet.
Currently some bug bit my ear so I cannot really wear these as I have ointments on it most of the time. I hope I'm not poisoned and will live to use these again.
What kind of exercise? For running, I cannot imagine me wearing headphones. You should know that these will get pretty toasty because they are basically closed. I have not taken these running yet, but I just did some jogging around my house (haha) and they were able to stay secure on my head.
As those are not the music I listen to, I cannot give you a very good answer. I know they work well with today's more bassier metal.
I just gave Led Zeppelin and Coldplay a listen. Led Zeppelin's Ten Years Gone's drums sound quieter, or further back( I think this was intentional in the mastering). Guitars over power his voice. In Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. Drums are closer and the guitar is still overpowering his voice. If this is how its supposed to sound then I think these make a great old rock headphone.
As for Coldplay's Paradise, there is just enough power in the low end to give power and energy to the song. His voice is nice and clear. I think this song sounds amazing through these headphones, personally. The violins in the song, I noticed, do not sound very lively.
The M80s stick out pretty far from your head to use for exercising especially if you're going to be lifting weights and stuff where you'd be getting in and out of equipment. I wouldn't wear them in a gym, but maybe out biking/running, but thats about it.
Nah, man, I've seen people lift with Beats.
The M80s stick out further from your head than the Beats...like obnoxiously so.
I really doubt that the M80 would be a problem when lifting, or any other exercise that I can think of other than swimming and such. Mind you, I'm no expert on the matter.
I've used them while lifting once, no problems.
On a treadmill they are perfectly fine. You will just have your ears sweating before the rest of your body. I think these would be terrible or biking due to wind hitting it and some going into the vents. Only way to avoid this is by using in-ears, though.
It might be my head shape, but I find the M-80 to be very low profile.

It all started one evening when we went to collect the ferrets. When we are not available to keep an eye on the ferrets we let them play in the one room we know for sure is ferret proof. (We thought) No matter how well we have put things up out of reach, every once in a while they figure out how to get up and on top of the Chester Drawers where the television, Blu-ray player and Blu-ray recorder are. There are also five different remotes. One of our umpteen questions was; how do they get up on top of the Chester Drawers? It is tall, and has smooth sides. Ferrets are not the greatest of climbers. Several other incidences often lead us to wonder, how in the world did the ferrets mange to do that? Ah, but the biggest question was always, where the heck did they put the remotes?
I dont know why it occurred to me to buy a Panasonic BL-C131A Network Wireless Camera but, it was primarily for our ferrets safety. Since we bought the first Panasonic Camera we realized how utterly important they are to our family, not only for the pets but for others as well. Our house is an 1885 huge old hybrid colonial/Victorian. Once upon a time someone had the idea of making it into a duplex. When we decided to move back to the mid west my daughter and her family came with us. So the duplex situation worked out great. We added two doors, one upstairs, and one downstairs; so that we had access to each other, but yet we had privacy.
Since I am disabled, I am usually stuck in one room unless someone comes and gets me. Its a pain in the derriere, but I live with it. So, my daughter had this wonderful idea to stick a camera my office to keep an eye on me. Frankly, it gives me a bit more freedom. Plus, nobody is sticking their nose in my space every time they hear a thud. Besides, the camera has a built in privacy feature. My daughter has a two-year old; the camera works better than any monitor ever could. My daughter is expecting a second baby in December, again, instead of a monitor we will set up another camera.
We live in Huron, South Dakota where shopping is the pits. We even lost our Radio Shack. So Amazon.com has become my best friend. When we decided to spy on the ferrets I just started researching wireless cameras. I ran into this little beauty; a Panasonic BL-C131A Network Camera Wireless 802.11 and you dont need a computer at the location to use it, which makes it exceptionally handy. You can use it with PDA or a cell phone. We can still receive images if we are at a doctors appointment or on a field project or news assignment.
Lets say that the ferrets fall asleep (which is 18-20 hours in a day.) A built-in heat sensor notifies me when the little monsters are awake. (Motion-detection recording) In addition, it doesnt matter where we are, we can pick up email anywhere, my laptop with 3G, PDA, or cell phone. I dont have a PDA, pout.
Panasonic Network Camera isnt too small or too big either, weighing in at 7.4 ounces; dimensions are 2.9 x 2.9 x 3.9 inches. Just about right. It doesnt look much different, maybe a touch bigger than the baby monitor we used to drag all over the house. Besides, when a baby is two-years old, you need more than sound to find out what shenanigans she is up to with her high spirited pranks.
One other thing we have found the Panasonic Network Camera useful, is watching an animals birthing process or after an injury recovery process.
The images are clear it works great with cable broadband. A friend bought one and had a bit of a setup problem for internet viewing with DSL. This is one of Panasonics strong points is customer service. They had it figured out in no time. There has been no problem with setup on any of our computers. Between the camera, the computer, and router, everything has setup by its self. So far, every web browser we have tried has worked fine. My husband likes Foxfire and he had no problem at all setting the camera up. If you have any setup problem call Panasonic.
Another feature I use and love is the eight shooting positions that can be set up in advance and you can use your cell phone or PDA to control the cameras movements.
The Panasonic Network Camera has changed our lives to the better. Plus, my friend that breeds parrots, is going to set up a camera during the hatching process and also let me watch him hand feed the bird. At that time, we can get the images up on Exotic Pets BellaOnlines, so that we can all enjoy the miracle.
By the way, the ferrets are getting up on the Chester Drawers by starting with a sewing box, jumping to the mini bedroom refrigerator, jumping on top of the sewing machine cabinet, jumping to a shelf in the closet, then jumping to the top of the Chester Drawers. They promptly start dropping everything moveable to the floor. They jump down to the clothes hamper then to the floor. I just love that camera. One more spot on the router for the new baby.

UFC president Dana White caught the attention of TMZ recently, and the popular celebrity gossip site had just one question for White: what about Fedor Emelianenko?
As you can imagine, White's response was typical, as the brash leader of the UFC did not hold back his true feelings. White and Emelianenko, along with his management team, have never been able to come to an agreement to get "The Last Emperor" inside the Octagon.
"Fedor sucks man," White said. "Get over the Fedor thing."
Recently, Fedor defeated Satoshi Ishii at DREAM's annual New Year's Eve show in Japan. He also stopped Jeff Monson in his native country of Russia in 2011, halting a three-fight losing skid.

About Faith Baptist Church Faith Baptist Church was formally organized on March 5, 1961. Dr. Dolphus Price became our first pastor in June of that year. After renting for about 2 years, the church purchased the present property and dedicated the new facilities on July 7, 1963. Dr. Price remained as pastor for 6 years before entering full-time evangelism. He was followed by Dr. Earl Little who pastored 3 years. During his pastorate the first wing of the education building was built. After him, Rev. Larry Karsies pastored for 2 years. He was followed by Rev. John Detwiler who served as pastor from July 1973 until August 1977. Pastor Meloy began his pastorate here on March 12, 1978 and stayed for 28 years before becoming a traveling representative for the Caribbean Radio Lighthouse. Pastor Jeff Bailie and his wife, Debbie, began their ministry at Faith on the 18th of March, 2007. |

I am taking a party of 6 to Walt Disney World in July. It is cheaper to go through David's Disney Vacation Club rentals and get 2 studios than it is to get one suite at All Star Music. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as connecting studio rooms at Animal Kingdom Lodge? Thank you
I am not aware of any studios that connect to another studio but someone will correct me if I am wrong. We had 3 studios booked in early December through David's and our reservations were linked. We ended up in the same section, on the same floor with two studios next to each other and one just down the hall with a 1 bedroom between.
No, there are no studios that connect to other studios. Studios connect to one bedrooms to make two bedrooms.
Studios do not connect to another studio at any DVC. A studio may connect to one-bedroom - this is called 2 bedroom lock-off. You will need to either get 2-studios with at least one adult in each studio. Or a 2-bedroom.
Meggybear...thank you! I was hoping it was not totally impossible to get 2 studios next to, or close together. I hate that so many of the larger family options are so expensive. The "value" suites are so high and so are the cabins. Thank you for the information. Shannon
There are very few adjoining studios at the DVC resorts. It helps to think of the DVC villas as building blocks. A studio and one bedroom villa can connect to make a (lockoff) two-bedroom villa. So you're not going to find a whole bunch of studios clustered together. There is the occasional adjoining pair, but the great majority are distributed throughout the resort.

Major deal collapses
Arsenal, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Andrei Arshavin's move from Zenit St Petersburg is off after talks over personal terms collapsed and is now set to head home to Russia.
The latest reports suggest the forward is somewhat ironically stuck at a London airport trying to get back to Russia, but held up by heavy snow in the English capital.
The deal has been dragging on for the whole month and the fact it is now off, unless there are further twists in the saga - which can't be ruled out, will annoy Arsene Wenger intensely.
Wenger has already been running out off patience over the deal, saying at the weekend: "Frankly, I am fed up with all the talk about Arshavin.
"Because when the biggest star is a guy who has never kicked a ball for you, it's very difficult to understand.
"We don't need an instant saviour. And I don't believe in instant saviours."

#10285 closed bug (fixed)
evalScript rcleanScript replacement fails in IE8
Reported by: | james.h.cracknell@… | Owned by: | james.h.cracknell@… |
Priority: | high | Milestone: | 1.8 |
Component: | ajax | Version: | 1.6.4rc1 |
Keywords: | Cc: | ||
Blocked by: | Blocking: |
In evalScript the use of the rcleanScript RegExp to wrap XML Comments/CDATA tags with a multiline comment fails because Internet Explorer 8 does not support the $0 backreference. This is actually correct behavior, as the ECMAScript specification explicitly states that n has a non-zero value; the $0 backreference is probably included in most implementations by convention.
'abc'.replace(/a/, '($0)'); // '($0)bc' 'abc'.replace(/a/, '($&)'); // '(a)bc'
The end result is that given an inline script:
<script language="text/javascript"><!-- ... --></script>
the eval'd string looks like:
/*$0*/ ... -->
which bombs when it encounters the XML comment end (as the start is missing).
As a workaround you can insert a single-line comment before the end-comment tag in your inline script:
<script language="text/javascript"><!-- ... //--></script>
so your eval'd script looks like:
/*$0*/ ... //-->

Here's a quick repro, you can see the error in the console: http://jsfiddle.net/dmethvin/aBy3L/
Turns out the unit test case we have has a newline before the closing comment, which behaves differently (thanks to our old pal ASI).
comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by dmethvin
Tracing down the problem, it seems to be cause by the commenting out of the closing HTML comment sequence. ///*-->\n*/ gives an error but ///*-->*/ does not. It seems like we can just remove these entirely rather than commenting them out?
comment:7 Changed 5 years ago by jaubourg
err, I fixed this one, didn't I? Or is there something I missed here?
comment:8 Changed 5 years ago by dmethvin
I was getting an error from the commenting, not sure if it's specific to a platform but it was throwing an error in IE9. You can see it in the job here:
Removing the chars rather than commenting them out fixed the problem, but I wasn't sure if there was a reason for leaving them in but commented.
I don't know about the second error in the test there, HTML5 elements.
comment:9 Changed 5 years ago by dmethvin
OBTW, I think the original assertion about the $0 backreference is correct, it should be $& if we're going to keep commenting this out.

I'm still running into this issue. I was using 1.2.6 - with a lot of concerns about the age of the library. I updated to 1.7.2 and began getting this error (80020101). After reading, I updated to 1.8.2 (which completely locked up my opening page...) so I went to 1.8.1 and got the opening page to load, but when the AJAX call is made, I keep getting the error as I did with 1.7.2.

Taking over the Ace Theater in Los Angeles , Kristen Stewart brought along former co-star Taylor Lautner to plug her new flick, American Ultra on Tuesday night (August 18).
The Bella Swan actress looked radiant in Zuhair Murad romper with sequin embellishments and a pair of Jimmy Choo heels, while Taylor kept it simple in a white tee and blue jacket.
She's been busy promoting her new movie "American Ultra" as of late, and last night (August 11) Kristen Stewart showed up at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" for a lighthearted chat.
Fallon pulled out the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" babe's new cover of Marie Claire magazine and noted, "You get a lot of grief from people that you don't go out of your way to smile… I think you're a very smiley person."
Showing off her posing prowess, Kristen Stewart is featured on the front of the September 2015 issue of NYLON magazine.
She's been a busy babe as of late, and Kristen Stewart showed up in Manhattan's trendy Tribeca neighborhood on Sunday afternoon (August 9).
The "American Ultra" actress seemed preoccupied with her mobile phone as she hopped out of a luxury SUV while wearing a powder blue top and black bottoms.
He always seems to assemble an outstanding cast for his films, and for his next untitled flick, Woody Allen has done it again.
She's been busy promoting her new movie "American Ultra" and Kristen Stewart just scored the cover of the September 2015 issue of ELLE UK.
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" actress was interviewed by fellow Hollywood glam girl Juliette Lewis and worked her mojo for photographer Kai Z Feng.
Always a fan of creative pursuits, Kristen Stewart brought her acoustic guitar along for ride as she caught a flight at LAX International Airport on Sunday (July 19).
The 25-year-old "Adventureland" actress was a bit camera-shy as she navigated her way through the terminal, en route to Paris, France.
Never one to conform to anyone's expectations, Kristen Stewart exudes confidence and charisma on the August 2015 cover of Marie Claire magazine.

The Constitution does not reflect contemporary knowledge of the importance and role of the environment as the basis of enduring social and economic wellbeing.

Smart Taxes hosted a very lively and well attended event in Trinity College, Dublin, on Monday evening 24th September. Three ex city Mayors, one an ex Lord Mayor, announced their presence. As expected and desired, the panel were challenged with many hard and interesting questions. John Bowman showed his experience and skill in keeping the discussion on topic and well tempered. Politicians from all parties (especially the Labour Party it has to be noted) showed admirable interest in debating the property tax in Ireland, as with the launch of the Fair Tax book, but very few media columnists attended.

Comments Off on Land Taxation & the Renewal of Growth in the Irish Economy
Report by Fred Harrison: "Ireland's lower corporate tax rate is a two-edged sword: it attracted foreign capital, but the net gains were either (i) capitalised into disruptively higher land values, which helped to fuel the property boom/bust, or (ii) were repatriated. Hong Kong's much lower income tax heightened incentives to work, save and invest. Hong Kong is recognised as the most competitive economy in the world. We only need to compare the skyline of Hong Kong with Dublin to appreciate that something remarkably different was, and is, driving the Asian Tiger's economic engine."

Comments Off on Support for Land Value Tax in the UK from an unlikely quarter
Relaxing planning restrictions would lead to a rebalancing of land designations towards their most profitable use, namely residential housing and business. This would lead to a fall in house and business property prices as supply increased, and windfall gains to land owners. A concurrent LVT would capture some of those gains. As the tax base is observable and fixed, neither avoidance nor evasion is possible, making collection cheaper. Substituted for other distortionary and inequitable taxes such as council tax and business rates, LVT could also increase efficiency. Paired with an overhaul of the antiquated system of land-use planning, it would boost growth and ease budgetary woes.

This is a drawing of my cat "Escape" that I've been meaning to do for years. There's a little bit of a backstory behind this one. About ten years ago I attempted to draw my cat (this was in grade 5) and failed miserably, so I decided to quit drawing since I was convinced I'd never be good at it. Now after attempting it once again I think I've finally succeeded and I'm rather proud of this one.
I used a charcoal pencil for the first time (don't think I'll be using graphite from now on), an eraser, and a blending stump. The whole process took 4 hours like my previous batman picture. Everything was done freehand for this drawing.
For those that like process shots I have them posted here: https://forrst.com/posts/My_kitty_Cat_Escape-HCZ

Sometimes, as I'm talking to patients and their families, I realize that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Really.
When 75 percent of our medical costs are for chronic diseases that are largely due to poor lifestyle habits, where are the studies on prevention? On behavior? On effective patient-doctor or public health strategies?
At present, most drug company records are treated as proprietary secrets. As a public health measure, drug companies should be required to make public all of their internal documentation concerning any drugs that begin the FDA approval process.
While I am the first to admit to having pursued past research in this mindset (perhaps too publicly), I know that I am not the last -- so much so that many readers within my field won't bat an eye when agreeing to have done this at some point in their medical careers.
Most writers, including myself, present a preferred reality to their readers. It is only natural for a writer to selectively choose or cherry pick outcomes in order to portray a certain image.
It's the result of a fundamental misunderstanding of placebo effects and control groups -- a misunderstanding that, scientists are now arguing, invalidates any claims of effectiveness for almost all psychological interventions.
What Ben Goldacre does not take into account is the many ways in which, like most other humans, even the most rational scientists operate outside the constraints of their rational analysis.
As the body of published literature fails to paint the entire picture, eventually the gap between reality and what we think is reality widens. The negative results are still pertinent for several reasons.
Doctors need the results of clinical trials to make informed choices, with their patients, about which treatment to use. But the best currently available evidence estimates that half of all clinical trials, for the treatments we use today, have never been published.
