3 Evil Sisters-Part 7
: (I'm not SomeStory. This isn't his/her account and I haven't spoken to SomeStory at all. This is an unauthorized continuation of the Evil Sisters stories. Like a lot of you, I really enjoyed the stories and thought they deserved an ending. Hopefully, this first try at continuing the series will live up to the standards of SomeStory's work. If it doesn't, I won't continue making more parts, but if you guys like it, I'll try to do at least a couple more parts to finish the story off. I'd love to hear whatever feedback you guys have to give, but try not to troll. Remember, I'm just trying to help out the other fans that were frustrated by SomeStory disappearing.)
Mom was back.
"Shit." I hissed. I looked at my sisters. "Get it together! Pick everything up!" I ordered them, then I headed outside, hoping to stall Mom long enough for Ashley and Riley to calm down and pull themselves out of each others' hair. As I walked up to Mom's car, I could see her bent over the trunk, her navy-blue skirt hugging her hips as she pulled out her luggage.
"Hey!" I called out as I reached the car. "Let me help you, Mom!" She stood up and smiled at me.
"Max! Come give me a hug!" She opened her arms as I walked up, then wrapped them around me and pressed me against her. "You've gotten so tall!" She said as she tightened her arms around me. She was warm and I could feel her breasts through her blouse. They were as big as Izzy's, maybe bigger, and that was saying something. I'd never thought about them before, but after everything that had happened, I felt myself getting hard, so I cut the hug short.
"Let me get these for you." I told her as I looked in the trunk. Her red roller bag was already on the driveway, and her purse was sitting by her feet, but her other two bags were still in the trunk. I picked up the first one and grunted as I heaved it out of the trunk. It was so heavy I could've sworn she was transporting bricks. After setting it down, I went to grab the other one when Izzy called out,
"Mom! We didn't know you were coming back!" I pulled the other bag out and set it down in time to watch Mom give Izzy a hug.
"I didn't either! They cancelled the conference at the last minute, so I suddenly had five days off and I wanted to see you guys. I took the first flight out of Ontario. Where are your sisters?"
"Oh... um," Izzy stalled for a second. "They're cleaning."
"Riiight. Should I expect a major pigsty? You three always make your brother do all the cleaning and poor Max can only do so much."
"Wha?!" Izzy replied, startled. Mom smirked at her and gave me a wink.
"Actually, they've been helping me out a lot." I said, looking at Mom. "Izzy dusted and Riley and Ashley vacuumed and helped me cook."
"Really?" Mom cocked an eyebrow at Izzy, then looked back at me. "What'd you do- black mail them?" Izzy and I looked at each other nervously, then Mom started laughing. "Come on. Let's go find them." She picked up her purse and pulled the handle out of the red roller bag, then started walking towards the house. Izzy and I looked at each other again, then let out a sigh of relief. Mom had a wicked sense of humor and she liked to mess with your mind. Combined with her innate mother knowledge, she always left me feeling like she knew more than she let on.
I tried to give Izzy the lighter bag to carry, but she could see how heavy the other one was, so she took it from me and hefted it onto her shoulder, then we followed Mom inside. I hoped that Izzy had gotten Ashley and Riley to calm down, but from the way they'd been going at it, I was ready to find blood on the floor. Instead, when we walked in the door, the two of them were standing next to each other. Riley had her blanket folded under her arms and Ashley had her arm around Riley's waist. They were smiling and chatting with Mom. When she heard us come in behind her, Mom turned and looked at us.
"Movie night on a weeknight, Izzy? You must've gotten soft while I was gone." Mom said to Izzy as my oldest sister set the black bag of bricks on the floor.
"I just, uh, thought everyone needed a little pick me up. Max and Riley were sick earlier this week-" That was true according to the school records at least. "-and Ashley's been having a hard time."
"You do look a little worn out, Darling. What's been the matter?" We looked at Ashley, but she just looked down at her feet. Mom looked at Izzy and I, but we didn't know either, so we stayed quiet.
"Actually, Ashley and I were just discussing that when Max saw you pull into the driveway." Riley said, jumping into the conversation. I'd never been so glad that at least one of my sisters had a brain in her head.
"Why don't we all sit down and talk about it? You're all home and I wanted us to all spend some time together."
"Sure, Mom. Max and I will take your bags up to your room and Ashley and Riley can get you something to eat." Izzy said, tapping me on the shoulder.
"Hahaha. No, I remember the last time you girls tried to cook for me. I'll be okay with the pizza I'm sure you just stuffed in the fridge. I can still smell it. If you'll make me a glass of water, Max, your sisters can take the bags up." We quickly fell to our assigned tasks as Mom sank down on the couch, worn out from her flight. I pulled the pizza box out of the the fridge where Riley or Ashley had stuffed it and put a piece on a plate. After dropping some ice in a clean glass and filling it, I walked back into the living room, handed Mom the glass, and set the plate on the table. I sat down next to her, and she took a sip of water, then a bite of pizza.
"Max, how much pizza have you guys eaten lately?" Mom asked, covering her mouth as she chewed and giving me her sorcerer's all knowing stare, like my eyes were two crystal balls that she could see everything in. I grinned nervously, then the girls came back down, sparing me from having to answer.
Riley snatched the spot next to me so fast, I couldn't believe that Mom didn't notice something odd, but she was too fixated on her pizza. Izzy pulled up the big chair to where she was facing us and Ashley turned the love seat. Once we were all sitting and Mom had finished her slice of pizza, she took another sip of water, then started talking.
"So, what's been the matter, Baby?" She asked, looking at Ashley. Ashley's face fell and she glanced down at the ground before looking back up.
"It's just a boy thing." She grumbled.
"What kind of a boy thing?"
"Well, the guy I'm dating, he kind of... he cheated on me..."
"I'm sorry, Baby! That's awful."
"... and there's this other guy. He was really nice to me and I think I like him a lot-" Riley snorted next to me and made a little sound of disapproval. "-but I think I messed everything up with him."
"Why don't you break up with your boyfriend and talk to the other guy?" Mom said sympathetically. "I'm sure if you apologize, he'll forgive you."
"I don't think so. I, uh, he..."
"She cheated on him with her boyfriend." Riley spat, reverting to the angry state she'd been in a few minutes earlier. I thought Ashley would scream back at her, but she just tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stared at her hands.
"Hm. Well, I don't know if I'd forgive someone who cheated on me either, but you never know until you ask, Ashley. Max, you're the only boy here. What would you do if a girl cheated on you, then wanted to go out later?" Mom looked at me with such a weird look that I couldn't tell if she understood everything already, which should've been impossible, or if she was just feeling bad for Ashley.
I looked around the room and saw everyone's eyes were glued to me. Riley looked like she wanted me to tell Ashley that I'd tell her to fuck off. Izzy was hard to read, I could see a little of Riley's anger her eyes, but she'd been where Ashley was. I think she felt bad for her- if Izzy could even muster up that much empathy for another human being. And Ashley... Ashley was hard to look at. Her eyes were glistening with tears and you could see she was already getting choked up. I closed my eyes for a moment and rubbed my hands over my face, then I looked back at Ashley.
"You have to start by apologizing." I said firmly. "I think if this guy really likes you, anything's possible, but it may take a long time before he trusts you again. I don't know for sure if he can forgive you, it sounds like you really hurt him, but I guess you'll never know unless you try." I stopped talking and looked at Ashley. She was really crying now and she covered her mouth with her hand before nodding at me. Riley gave me a look that didn't exactly say she was pleased, but I didn't think she was angry either.
"Come here, Baby." Mom said and Ashley stumbled over for Mom to pull her in for a hug. She laid her head on Mom's shoulder and cried. After a few seconds, Mom looked at me and asked me if I'd bring the lighter black bag back down. I went up and lugged it down, then she told me to open it. At first, it looked like it was full of her underwear, there were tops and bottoms, and I shot her a surprised, half-horrified look before I noticed that the tags were still on everything. They were swimsuits. There was even a pair of shorts for me in there.
"The black one is for Izzy, Riley has blue, Ashley's is yellow, and I think you're smart enough to figure out which one's yours." Mom said with a grin.
"This one?" I asked, holding up the black bikini bottom that went with Izzy's outfit. Everyone giggled, then I tossed Izzy her bottom and a black top with orange flames on it. I handed Ashley and Riley theirs, then grabbed my suit and sat back down between Riley and Mom.
"It's your birthday tomorrow, Riley. Since you have school, I thought we'd just go out to wherever you wanted to eat for dinner, but Saturday, I was wondering if the four of you wanted to drive up to Water World and we'd stay there over night. Would you like to do that for your birthday, Riley?"
"Um, yeah! Yeah, that'd be awesome, Mom! We can all go." Riley said and squeezed my thigh just above the knee. "I'll just have to get my homework done after school tomorrow."
"Great! And I have something else for you in the other bag."
"Is it a bowling ball?" Izzy cut in. It seemed like a good guess to me.
"Don't get sassy with me, Isabella. I remember one Christmas where you just had to have the single biggest, most humongous Goth-Girl playhouse I'd ever laid eyes on. Ah- AHHH." Mom suddenly yawned. "I was going to have you try on your swimsuits for me, but I think it's getting too tired and I'm still late..." Mom cut herself off as the four of us snickered and shot each other looks. "I mean, it's late, I'm tired, and I had no idea I'd managed to raise four smart asses. Max, if you don't mind washing up, I think I'm heading to bed."
"I'll take care of it." Ashley said suddenly, getting up to take Mom's plate and glass for her. Mom thanked her and came by to hug each of us, then she stumbled upstairs. After we heard her door shut, Izzy, Riley, and I relaxed. Izzy yawned as well and told us she was going up to get ready for bed too. I heard the faucet running in the kitchen which meant Ashley was washing dishes. Finally alone, Riley turned to me and before I could say or do a thing, she lifted her head, tilted her chin up, and pressed her lips against mine. My lips parted and I felt her tongue slide into my mouth. I kissed her back and wrapped my hand around her waist as she laid her hands on my chest, pressing me against the couch. The kiss was so different from the ones I'd had before. There was lust, but there was something else too. When we finally broke apart, Riley leaned forward until her body was almost touching mine and her lips were just a few inches away from my ear, then she whispered,
"I'm going to get ready for bed too." But from the way she said it, I was betting it wasn't her bed that she was getting ready for. As she pulled back, I stared into her eyes and they were pretty, I couldn't stop myself. I pressed my lips against hers and started kissing her like crazy. She let out an aroused sigh, then I grabbed her chest, feeling her breasts through her tank top. I ran my thumbs over her nipples. They were already stiff and I could see them poking up under her top.
"Max!" She moaned in my mouth and I pulled back. I didn't want Ashley hearing us. When I looked at Riley again, she gave me a sultry stare, her eyes filled with lust. She was breathing heavily, the breaths coming in and out of her parted lips, but she managed to control herself. "I'll see you upstairs." She smiled at me, then turned and headed upstairs.
I heard the faucet in the kitchen cut off, so I walked over to check on Ashley. Maybe I shouldn't have, but she was still my sister and I wanted to make sure she was alright. When I walked in, her face was looking down at a plate as she dried it off, her long, brown hair hanging forwards like silky curtains. When she heard me, she turned and I could tell she'd been crying, but not as much as before. There was still a tear on her cheek and I walked up to her and brushed it off with my thumb. I looked at Ashley and she looked back into my eyes with her green eyes shining. Suddenly, I realized how close I was to her and took a step back.
"Are you okay?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah. Did you..." She swallowed. "Did you mean what you said before, that you might be able to forgive me?"
"I don't know... maybe..." I looked back up at her and she turned to put the plate she was holding in the dishwasher, then she looked at me again.
"Thank you, Max." She whispered, then she kissed me on the cheek. Her lips felt so soft, almost like two small rose petals. When she pulled back, she looked so sad and so beautiful, I almost kissed her right there, but before I could, Ashley whispered good night, then turned and walked away, leaving me standing in the kitchen with my fingers pressed against the spot where that she'd kissed.
A few minutes later, I was in my room. I'd pulled off my clothes and was just changing into a fresh pair of boxers. They were about two thirds of the way up my legs when I felt the breeze from my door opening blow across my body.
"What are you doing that for?" Riley asked as she walked in and shut the door behind her. At first, I thought she was being funny, but when she walked towards me, I saw the look in her eyes and realized just how serious she was being. Her long, blonde hair fell behind her shoulders and all she had on was a nightie that I could see right through. It was incredibly sexy and innocent at the same time. She walked up to me and laid her hands on my chest. I let my boxers fall to the floor as I reached up and caressed her body, feeling her narrow waist flow into her hips, then around to her perfect, tight ass. I reached around and squeezed it, eliciting a moan from Riley. Wanting to hear more, I craned my neck to the side and brought my lips just below Riley's jaw line. I ran my tongue along her skin, then started planting kisses down her neck. She let out little sighs of arousement as my tongue slid along her skin. When I reached where her neck met her shoulder, I sucked down hard on her, almost biting her.
"Unh!" She moaned, her arms writhing around my body, clutching at my shoulders. I switched sides and started sucking on the other side of her throat. At the same time, I let one hand continue kneading her ass while my other snaked its way under her nightie, up her body, and onto her breast. It felt so warm and soft in my hand, but firm at the same time and her nipple was already stiff. I ran my thumb over it and Riley made another noise. I knew she was only going to get louder, so I pressed my lips to hers and drove my tongue into her mouth. Our tongues wrestled as our hands caressed and squeezed one another's body. Her perfect, C-cup tits felt so good in my hands, but I wanted more. I pulled the straps of her nightie off her shoulders and Riley wiggled back and forth until her nightie fell to the floor beside my boxers, then I brought my lips down to her chest and starting sucking on her tit. Riley let out a soft moan that turned into a shriek of pleasure when I sucked her nipple into my mouth and flicked it with my tongue.
"Max... Maaax..." She moaned, then she reached out and wrapped her fingers around my rock hard cock. Taking the hint, I let my one of my other hands trail down her body until it brushed across her pubic hair. I felt her whole body shudder and Riley squeezed my cock, making me grunt. Sliding a finger along her slit, I almost pulled back in surprise. I'd expected her to be wet, but she was practically flooded. I brought my lips away from breast and looked down.
"Oh my god... Riley..." I whispered, awestruck. Her cum was running down her legs she was so wet.
"Please, Max, don't stop. I want this... I want you so badly."
"Then would you like me do this?" Before Riley could say a word, I crouched down and brought my mouth up to her lower lips. I stopped to smell her and the aroma was so arousing my cock twitched as I took in the fragrance of my beautiful sister's cum. Then I licked from the bottom of her slit all the way to the top. RIley moaned and I took that as permission to keep going. Finding her clit, I rubbed my fingers back and forth against it, making Riley squirm with pleasure. Once the tips of my fingers were glistening and wet, I let my tongue take over, flicking it back and forth across her clit. The taste of her cum was so overpowering I almost threw her down on the ground and took her right then.
As my tongue went to work, Riley started bucking with every wave of pleasure I sent racing from her clit, so I grabbed her ass with one hand and held her still, pressing her cunt against my lips. With my other hand, I let one of my cum coated fingers slide down her slit until it reached her entrance, then I pushed inside of Riley, feeling the warm wetness of her insides envelope my finger.
"Ohh!" Riley groaned, digging her fingers into my hair. Pulling out, I slid two fingers into her and started pumping in and out of my sister as my tongue kept working on her clit. "Oh, god, Max! Yes! More! More!" Riley yelled. Her wish was my command. I curled my fingers in, brushing them against her g-spot, and at the same time, I sucked her clit into my mouth and pressed it between my lips.
"UNH! YES!" Riley screamed, barely keeping her voice low enough to not wake the others. As I felt Riley's body buck harder and harder, I picked up the pace of my finger thrusting, then finally left them inside her and fluttered them against her g-spot, driving her wild. "Max, I- I think I'm gonna..." I pressed her clit between lips again. "Unh... don't ... st-stop... oh, I'm- " I stopped. I held my finger still and brought my lips away from her clit. "W-Why?" She asked, looking down, then I attacked twice as hard as before. I pumped my fingers in out of my sister so fast they were a blur, driving straight into her g-spot. I was almost drinking her cum at this point, she was so wet, and her clit was a little pleasure button my tongue couldn't taste enough of. "YES! Make me cum, Max! Make me cum for you!" I thrust in and out of her as fast as I could and if not for my hand on her ass, I think Riley would have crumpled to the floor. "Oh, GOD! Yes, Max, yes! Unh- c-CUMMING! I'm CUMMING!" Riley's body went wild, humping my hand and I felt the walls of her pussy tighten around my fingers as she came. She was gripping my fingers so tight, I couldn't even move, but I kept my tongue flicking across her clit, making her orgasm last as long as possible.
When her orgasm finally died away, Riley's legs went weak and I barely got her to my bed. "Oh my god, Max. That was incredible. I don't think I've ever cum that hard in my life." Riley panted, out of breath. I was pretty out of breath myself, but if I thought I was getting a break, I was dead wrong. Riley pulled me onto the bed beside her and wrapped her arms around me, running her hands through my hair as we made out. I ran my hand through her hair as well and pushed my cock between her legs with my other hand, letting it rub against her sopping wet pussy. She was so wet and hot it almost felt like being inside her.
"Riley, I can't wait anymore. I need to be inside you!" I moaned as she ran her tongue along neck, her thighs squeezing my cock against her pussy.
"N-not on here." She managed to tell me.
"What? Why not?"
"Not where
's been."
"Where then?"
"Stand up." I got off the bed and stood up and Riley grabbed my hand, pulling me over to the wall. Standing with her back against it, she spread her legs. She took my rock hard cock, slippery wet with her cum, and guided it between her legs. When my head was pressing at her entrance, she wrapped her arms around me and I kissed her as I pressed into her.
"OHHHH!" We moaned together as our bodies became one. Her pussy was so tight, it was unbelievable. As I pulled out, I could barely manage to bring my hips back, it felt like her pussy was sucking me into her. Then, just as I had filled her back up, Riley almost leapt into the air and threw her legs around me. I grabbed her ass, holding her in the air. With her back against the wall, she was light enough that it wasn't too hard to keep her up. I pulled out, then thrust into her again.
"Unh. Fuck me, Max. I need you to fuck me." Riley moaned. I started thrusting into Riley, meaning to go slow at first, but her pussy was so tight and hot that I couldn't help speeding up. It was like it was sucking me in. Her ass felt so good in my hands and I could watch her tits bounce every time I pushed into her. "Yes, Max! Harder!" Riley yelled and I started pounding my sister as hard I could. She started screaming at the top of her legs and I clapped a hand over her mouth, muffling her as she kept screaming from our fucking. When she stopped screaming, I grabbed her ass with both hands again and Riley groaned out, "Oh, you own me, MAX!"
Hearing her say that was so sexy, I almost blew my load right there. I started thrusting faster and faster, our bodies making wet, slapping sounds every time we came together. "R-riley, I'm getting close." I said as I felt my balls beginning to tingle.
"Cum inside me! Fill me up!"
"No, I want to... cum together!" I yelled, then I angled my hips under Riley and took her hips in my hands. Guiding her body, I rubbed her clit against me as I kept thrusting into her as hard as I could.
"Ohmygod... ohmygod..." Riley panted as her back arched against the wall. Her cunt tightened around my cock, milking it and sending me over the edge.
"I'M CUMMING!" I yelled and Riley screamed out at the same time as her orgasm erupted. I felt my cum exploding out of me, shooting into her as her pussy milked my cock, rippling as Riley came, her body shaking on top of me. It seemed like our orgasm would never stop as I shot fifteen, sixteen, seventeen ropes of cum into her and her pussy kept drinking it all in.
Finally, our orgasms subsided and my legs gave out, exhausted from the strain of holding Riley up and thrusting into her. We slid down until I was laying on the floor and Riley was on top of me, my deflating dick still inside of her, then Riley flopped down on top of my body, her head resting on my chest. I was so exhausted I could barely move. I barely had the energy to speak.
"That was incredible..." I said dreamily.
"Mhmm..." Riley hummed. "I love touching you." She cooed, rubbing her body against mine. "-ove you..." She mumbled, her eyes shutting.
"Come on. We should at least get in bed."
"Uh-uh." Riley replied cutely, almost falling asleep. Somehow, I got her to stand up and slip her nightie back on, then I finally pulled on my boxers before turning off the light and sliding into bed next to her. "Max, look." Riley said, closing her eyes and pointing to my digital clock. It was twelve o'one. I smiled down at Riley, then gave her a gentle kiss.
"Happy birthday, Riley." I whispered, then I snuggled down next to her, my body pressed against hers, my cock nestled between her ass cheeks, and my arms folded around her. Before I knew it, I was asleep.
The next thing I knew, I was blinking up in the darkness. I thought that I'd just woken up before I needed to, but then I felt Riley move next to me.
"Max, are you awake?" She asked, laying her hand on my shoulder.
"..nnn..." Was all I managed to get out. I shut my eyes and was falling back asleep when I heard something like a sob from Riley. I blinked my eyes open and looked at my sister. In the dark, I could make out the outline of her sitting up, crying.
"Riley, what's the matter?" I asked as I sat up, stealing a glance at my clock- three fourteen...
"I- I'm sorry, Max."
"It's okay. I'd rather be awake than be asleep and not help."
"No, I mean, I'm sorry about everything. I've been so shitty to you. I always call you names and... and I insult you all the time, call you stupid." I wrapped my arms around the blanket over my knees and looked at Riley's silhouette.
"Well, I do have two D's at the moment." I said, trying to make her feel a little better.
"Yeah, because we make you do everything. We fuck everything up for you. You're not stupid, Max... you've never been stupid."
"No, I really do suck at Math... and Science isn't exactly my strongest point either."
"...those are what I'm good at... I should've been the one to help you. I'm your big sister. I'm supposed to help you with your homework, not insult you for every problem you get wrong."
"Well, I mean, why do you then?"
"Because you're really not stupid."
"I mean, you're
not stupid. You're smart. Smarter than me."
"Hah!" I laughed, a little louder than I meant to. "You were in the ninety fifth percentile for the SATs. You get all A's. There's no way I'm smarter than you."
"Max, most kids would be failing if they went through what we put you through. And you're good at English and History and you can draw so well... I can't do anything like that."
"Riley, is my drawing what's making you sad? Or my grades? If you'll help me study, I can do better."
"No... I mean, yes, I mean... Max, have you ever wondered why you're the only guy I don't feel weird touching... or being touched by?"
"When I was little, I just thought you liked torturing me. I thought you liked laying on top of me to pick on me. But yeah, the other night, Izzy and I were talking about it. Why is that?"
"I don't know..." Riley said quietly. "It was never one thing. I just remember you being born and we were all so happy. I mean, I was barely old enough to remember, but I do. I remember holding you in my arms and thinking you were so heavy for a little baby. Izzy and Ashley were happy too, if you can believe that... and Dad. He thought having a son was right up there with landing a man on the moon or winning the Super Bowl."
"...so what happened?" I asked.
"Like Izzy said, Dad died and Mom had to go away and everything fell on Izzy. She had shit happen to her and some of it was her fault, but most of it wasn't. She took it out on you and I guess Ashley and I just followed along. I thought it was okay."
"Yeah, but after you were about nine, that doesn't cut it." I shot back, a little angry. Riley was plenty smart enough to have figured out it wasn't okay to torture me.
"I know... I know it doesn't. It's just, guys have always liked me... ever since I was about eleven, they started putting their hands all over me and without Dad, I never felt safe. I didn't like them touching me and the more they did it, the less I could stand it. And I watched the guys that Izzy was around and I didn't like them touching her either. It was like they didn't care about her at all. They just wanted her body and when guys touched me, I felt the same way. But touching you... it always felt okay, you felt clean... safe."
"So why couldn't you be the nice sister?" I asked, caught somewhere between feeling grumpy and touched.
"After Izzy taught me about masturbating... even before that... you were kind of the only guy I ever thought about. I mean, sometimes I could imagine a guy up and pretend I felt okay with him touching me, but mostly it was you. And you were still just a little kid, but I had a pretty good imagination and I thought about you getting older and when you finally did... I could barely control myself. I had to make myself hate you or I thought I'd... I'd do something like we just did."
"Have sex?"
"Make love. I... I know you I love you, Max. I've always loved you... even when I was being shitty to you, but I... I've started feeling something else. Do you know what I mean?" I felt my cheeks blushing in the darkness. Was Riley really saying what I thought she was saying? Then it hit me. I'd heard shit like this before. Izzy and Ashley had both told me whatever I wanted to hear and then it'd turned out to be a bunch of lies. I wasn't getting fooled this time.
"You're lying." I tightened my grip around my knees. "You're just going to use me like-" I was suddenly cut off by Riley's lips pressed against mine, the tips of her fingers resting under my chin as her other hand rested on my cheek. My heart started beating like crazy and my face felt like it was burning. Riley opened her mouth and her tongue slid past my lips, but she didn't just thrust it into my mouth. It was almost like... I didn't even know. No one had ever kissed me like that before. I ran my fingers through her hair and we fell back against the bed. When we finally separated, I looked right into Riley's face, just a inches away, and I could see her eyes glinting in the dark.
"I'm in love with you, Max." She said the words quietly, but with conviction.
"Is this the part where you tell me that all you want for your birthday is me?" I asked cheekily. I thought I could see her smile in the darkness.
"No, I'm going to give
something for my birthday. All the love you should've had every day of your life. I want to be the sister you deserve... and maybe a little more... a lot more... if you'll let me." Riley pressed her lips against mine again and we started making out for real this time. As we kissed, I let my hands come up to fondle her chest and she snaked her hand down around my cock. Within a few seconds, I was hard again.
"Riley, we shouldn't... We've got school in the morning." I groaned as she squeezed me.
"We're already going to feel like shit when we wake up. Here, maybe this will help convince you." Riley grabbed the waistband of my boxers and slid them down after I lifted my hips. Then she threw her legs over my body, leaving her perfect ass spread a few inches from my face. I felt her tits brush my body as she tilted my cock back, then I felt her mouth wrap around my cock.
"Unh. Riley..." She bobbed her head up and down a few times, then pulled off and looked back at me. "Um, I've never done this before... so I'm sorry if it's not the best."
"You're doing great." I replied breathlessly. "And besides, you're smart. I'm sure you'll figure it out." I continued wittily. Then I could've sworn she put me in her pussy. It felt so much like pushing inside it was incredible, but Riley had only pursed her pouty lips, making it tighter on my cock as she pushed me into her mouth. "Oh my god..." I moaned as Riley started bobbing up and down my cock, rolling her tongue around my head. If this was her first time giving head, I could only imagine what she'd be like after some practice. I ran my hands through her hair and started pushing her down lightly, guiding her to take more of my cock into her mouth. She wasn't about to deep throat it, but after a minute or so, she was taking almost two thirds of it at a time. Suddenly, she pulled off, pursed her lips again and pushed my cock into her mouth again.
"Unh!" I grunted as I reentered the hot, wet interior of my sister's mouth. Riley wrapped her hand around the part of my shaft that she couldn't fit in her mouth and started stroking it as she sucked my cock. Her technique was still a little raw, but it felt incredible and knowing how she felt about me and that she really wanted me to feel good... it made all so much better. After a few minutes, it started feeling really good and I could tell I was getting close.
"R-riley... I'm gonna cum soon." She pulled off my cock for a second.
"Good. I wanna taste you."
"Um, are you sure? It's your first time." I replied, but her only answer was to wrap her lips back around my cock and start bobbing twice as fast. As I started feeling better and better, I couldn't stop from thrusting into Riley mouth, trying to drive as much of my cock into her mouth as possible. She gagged a few times, but only stopped the first time. When I started really getting close, I reached out and cupped one of her tits, squeezing it in my hand, turning me on even more. With my other hand, I grabbed her ass, then slid it across her until i reached her pussy. She was wet, but it felt weird, thicker than her usual cum. I realized my cum was leaking out of her pussy just as Riley bobbed down on my cock, forcing more of it into her mouth than ever. It was too much and I felt myself tip over the edge.
"RIley, I'm cumming!" Riley pulled back and kept jerking me with her hand.
"Yes, cum for me, little brother! Cum for me, Max!" I felt myself starting to shoot and it felt like the whole bed was shaking. I couldn't help yelling it felt so good. I shot more cum out than I thought I could've possibly had after fucking earlier. Finally, I stopped cumming, but the bed was still shaking!
"It's an earthquake!" I yelled to Riley. My clock fell off my end table and I heard a couple other things hit the floor, but after a few seconds, the shaking stopped. I heard the sound of footsteps upstairs, then Mom called out.
"Guys?! Is everyone okay?!"
"I'm good, Mom!" Izzy called back. I didn't hear Ashley, but then Mom called out, "Max?! Are you okay down there?!"
"Yeah, Mom! I'm alright!" I yelled up to her, opening my door a crack.
"Where's, Riley?" Mom yelled. I looked at Riley and she ran over to the door.
"I'm down here with Max! I came to check on him when everything started shaking!" Mom would buy that, Izzy and Ashley... not so much, not that it really mattered anyway.
I heard the sound of Mom and Izzy and Ashley congregating, so I rushed over to the bed to find my boxers. Slipping them on, Riley stood beside me, but I saw that a few drops of my cum were still on her face. I pointed them out to her and she responded by wiping them onto her finger tip and then sucking her fingers clean. I felt myself starting to get hard just watching her, but I didn't need to be hard right then, so I turned away and headed for the door.
I found Mom, Ashley, and Izzy coming down the hall. Mom was wearing a lacy black bra that barely held her chest in, with a pair of matching panties, and a silk night robe pulled over her. Ashley had on an old t-shirt and a pair of panty-shorts. Izzy's chest was stuffed in a tank top and I could see the lines of a thong coming out of the sweatpants she'd pulled on. Between the three of them and Riley in her nightie, it was a distracting sight.
The whole family went around the house and checked everything out. One of our vases was broken and a couple things had fallen, but mostly everything seemed alright. Mom turned on the news and a reporter said that a 6.8 on the Richter scale had hit our area. There wasn't anything to do though, so Mom told us to go back to bed, she'd wake us up in the morning. As I went up, Ashley gave me a longing look before heading to her room and Izzy grabbed my ass as she walked up behind me,
"Checking on your brother during the earthquake... uh-huh. Good story." She teased Riley behind her. Riley ignored her though and came up next to me as Izzy planted a rough kiss kiss on my lips, driving her tongue into my mouth forcefully. Licking her lips lustily, she looked at me, then headed up to her bed room. Ordinarily, I would've made plans to follow her up, but I was so exhausted that I decided to just endure her wrath. I felt Riley take my hand and I turned to face her. She was so gentle, the difference between her and Izzy was almost like night and day.
"I guess I should go back to my own bed. I wish I could sleep with you... it is my birthday." She whined adorably, almost like a little kid. I opened my mouth to tell her that would be nice, but that she did need to sleep in her room, then I stopped.
"Fuck it." I said suddenly. "It's your birthday. There was an earthquake. You can sleep with me. But, uh, grab some panties first." I smiled at her. A few minutes later, at a little after four, I snuggled back up against Riley and fell asleep. My alarm went off two and a half hours later and I almost smashed the thing after I tried to turn it off and found it was still on the floor, out of reach. When I'd finally gotten up and shut the damn thing off, Mom opened the door.
"The earthquake damaged the school. You guys have a three day weekend. Go back to bed." Mom said, leaning in, her tits hanging out of her silk robe, her bra leaving tons of cleavage for me to ogle.
"Um, yeah, thanks, Mom." I said, shaking my head.
"And that's sweet of you to let your sister sleep with you." Mom said with a grin as she looked at Riley. "You guys haven't slept together since you were kids. But I guess you're not a kid anymore." She glanced down at my boxers. I looked down and saw they were rapidly tenting. I looked back up just as Mom shut my door again. I was still so exhausted, physically and emotionally, from everything that had happened that the sensation of Riley's warm body pressed against mine lulled me right back to sleep.

A fine start but there are a few details you seem to have overlooked.
Max's room is on the ground floor , not upstairs, and Max is only 5'8" and "skinny as a rail" , so I don't see him holding Riley ( 6"+) off the floor for sex.
But otherwise a good story. Thank You for trying to keep this going.

After some highly publicized recent sinkhole disasters, such as the resort that collapsed near Orlando, Fla., some Americans are left to wonder: is the country caving in on itself?
The answer, according to experts, is predictably complicated. Sinkholes form as the sediment overlaying soluble bedrock sinks into underground holes. Often seen as "natural" disasters, sometimes sinkholes are caused -- or at least aggravated -- by human activity above the ground.
In Montreal recently, a huge piece of construction equipment fell into a sinkhole that occurred in a major traffic intersection. In Louisiana, a sinkhole measuring 422 feet deep and 273 feet wide opened up and forced a number of residents to evacuate their homes. In Florida, Tiger Woods' $60 million mansion is reportedly in danger of sinking. The reasons for all of these crisis points have much to do with people.
Top 10 Sinkhole Facts That Can Save Your Life
"The human influence on these environments is undeniable," said Randall Orndorff, director of the Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center at the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
"In the natural environment we come in and start developing these areas, putting up parking lots, roadways, buildings, where you have roofs that collect water in gutters and run off in parking lots and roads, and then into ditches. All of the water that used to go into the soil is concentrated in these storm drains, basically creating big gushers. We're changing the hydrologic regimen."
The predisposition for sinkholes is simple, said Orndorff: Start with soluble bedrock, such as limestone, then overburden the surface above, allowing the soft sediment to collapse into it.
For example, the combination of a drought followed by a tropical storm is the ideal recipe for sinkholes. If the clay cap over the limestone severely dries out, and then is suddenly pummeled with rain, adding weight, and if there is already a cavity formed underground, the structure above it is likely to cave in.
The hard part is knowing in advance what areas are most vulnerable to sinkholes.
"You have to consider the influence of urbanization," Orndorff said. "The paving over of areas and competing land uses, sitting right next to an agricultural area that has been pumping water out of the ground for years, sets up a situation for sinkholes."
In Florida, for example, where there have been many reported sinkholes, the population has grown tremendously over decades, and with all those people creating buildings, roadways, and suburban sprawl -- it drives the water system too hard, and the water tables drop. When there's a drought they pump a lot of water. When there's a freeze they cover the plants with water to protect them.
ANALYSIS: Sinkhole Opens Near Disney World Resort
Determining if a land area is prone to sinkholes before building on it can be laborious and cost prohibitive, so often it is not checked out.
"The problem occurs if you build over an area that is prone to sinkholes," said Terry R. West, Ph.D., P.E. and professor of Earth sciences at Purdue University. "The builder would have to drill holes in the ground and look for cavities or make a geophysical survey and locate the cavities underground with seismic techniques. That would be out of the ordinary and expensive, and is not usually done unless you suspect already that the property is prone to sinkholes."
Although sinkholes seem to be reported most frequently from Florida, they can and do happen almost anywhere.
"We had one in Indianapolis due to a leaking water pipe," said West, author of "Geology Applied to Engineering." "Also, in Indiana there are mines that run very deep into the ground from 100 years ago, and that poses a threat."
Decaying infrastructure nationwide is indeed a contributing factor, said Orndorff.
Top Aging Bridges in America: Near You?
"Just a few weeks ago a woman drove her car right into a sinkhole in Toledo, Ohio," Orndorff said. "It is a real concern for our country that the water mains and storm drains in big cities were built in the 1800s. Some of what we're seeing is not necessarily just geologic -– the sinkholes are related to the aging infrastructure. The size of the sinkhole has everything to do with how big that void is beneath the surface of the city.
The good news in the midst of all of this devastation is that sinkholes are not necessarily instantaneous.
"Sometimes there are warning signs weeks or months in advance," Orndorff said. "If you see signs of settling in your house, windows that are skewed, doors that won't close or cracks in the walls, or even small depressions in the land around your house, you should call your local jurisdiction. Usually they will send in a geo-technical engineer."

diets that work?
this is an article that we have started, and we are looking to incorporate community member feedback into the discussion of what diets or diet approaches have worked for you, we'd greatly appreciate it!
Tue. Oct 21, 10:41am
The "No Bread or Milk" diet has worked for me. I totally cut dairy and wheat from my diet. Which for me means no pizza! It is very hard to do this, and I did not have a choice due to allergies. But I have lost more weight doing this than ever before. And I am not a vegetarian- I still eat meat and fish. I am also less congested, and my acid reflux went away. I am convinced there is something in bread and dairy that is particularly conducive to weight gain.
Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 12:07 PM
I like the way your article is sounding, less processed foods & more nutrition! - if you would like some free 'proofing' for the article let me know.
Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 12:59 PM
I went dairy free (I'm already gluten free) and went from a size 16 to a 6. I also ate only twice per day. I went back on dairy and returned to a size 16. I've been totally dairy free for 6 mos. and I've lost about 20 lbs. from just that change. I feel sooo much better, but clearly I do have an allergy to dairy. I fall asleep after eating it.
I'm really interested to see what kinds of diets are recommended in this thread. thanks!!
Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 3:13 PM
I don't think the word "diet" is important. It's just being "healthy"- everyone knows what that is.
There was a time when I was more motivated than ever before in my life and I got down to 116 pounds (I'm 5'3"), and I looked and felt amazing. I did this by working out obsessively- 6 times a week for 1.5 hours. Because I worked out so much, I was motivated to not to eat junk because it would defeat the purpose of all my hard work.
Then, I had a death in the family and the working out came to a hault and depression set it. I am now about 134, but working towards 120.
Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 5:37 PM
I am doing Atkins right now. I have Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroid and Celiac's disease. Because of this, my triglycerides are high (cholesterol is fine). So, my osteopath thought low carb would be good for me due to my food allergies with gluten.
I've completed week 3 and have lost 14 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, that's just a side effect. I feel amazing. My skin looks better, I don't feel bloated or weighed down, and I think much clearer now.
I'd be happy to buddy up with someone if they chose this diet plan.

diets that work
"diet" is just healthy eating-exercising consistently- is it always easy-no, not for me. When I eat healthy-more veges and fruit-yes I feel so much better and have more energy. When I eat poorly-I definitely feel it and it surely shows. It comes down to what you want more in the long run.
Friday, October 31, 2008, 9:49 AM
I mostly agree with this article and thread, but have one question. I don't like the idea of eliminating a food group - especially dairy. I'm very concerned with my calcium intake and wonder how others are getting it if not through a natural source. I know there are calcium supplements (added to orange juice) etc, but red flags go off for me when something new (lower dairy products) is introduced. For example, don't eat butter, eat margarine. Wait, don't eat margarine, eat butter.
Can someone point me in the direction of the studies of why dairy products are bad? I'm interested in reading up on it since this is the second time in two days I've been told to lower my dairy products.
Friday, October 31, 2008, 10:08 AM
I did Atkins several times in my life. It worked well the first time but eventually I gained all of my weight back and then some. The second time I did Atkins the same thing happened. My Dr told me Atkins is not good. He said that eliminating food groups are not a healthy was to live.
SO, I have been doing the Body for LIfe challenge this time eating 6 meals a day...each around 200 calories. I also eat everyfood group in small portions. I lost about a 3 pounds in the first week. I know the weightloss is slower than it is on Atkins, but it will be worth it if I keep it off this time.
Atkins doesnt promote working out and getting fit. There is a small section of his book dedicated to getting fit. The diet just isnt sound and I was a firm supporter of his diet for several years. I just didnt have any good come from it.
Friday, October 31, 2008, 11:20 AM
I totally agree. If you just simply eliminate foods that are processed and eat natural whole foods, you can lose weight and regain health. Learn to prepare your own meals from scratch using fresh fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains. Eat meat and dairy as condiments instead of main courses. Give up the sodas, even diet sodas. Drink lots of water and herbal teas if you like your drink flavored. I've lost more than 35 lbs this way in 5 months. That's an average of 7 lbs a month, which is the slow, steady and healthy way to do it. After all, the weight didn't come on all at once so I shouldn't expect it to leave all at once either.
Friday, October 31, 2008, 11:41 AM
10:08 - My friend is studying chemistry right now, and explained to me that digesting animal protein puts our body into an acidic state. In order to bring the body back into a neutral state it robs our bones of calcium and potassium. The best way to get protein and calcium is to cut out the middle man (cow) and to eat plants.
Everyone does NOT know what healthy eating is, or we wouldn't be seeing threads on Atkins and cottage cheese diets. Atkins is where I started, and yes, eliminating white foods took away my heartburn and yeast infections. I was thrilled. But ultimately I couldn't live with the restrictions, and my research took me in a different direction.
I'm posting a link, please take the time to listen. And think of me and laugh during the introduction ;)
Friday, October 31, 2008, 12:23 PM
This is so interesting. I am really open to all these ideas. Open to the idea between a link between cancer and animal and dairy. But one thing I seem to have concluded is that as long as you get very high levels of vegetables you are ok. Joel Fuhrman says that cancer is a "nutrition deficency" disease to a certain extent.
I personally eat meat and consume high levels of vegetables. But I do wonder how toxic meat is, and how I can safely eat it. I like eating meat.
Saturday, December 20, 2008, 4:53 PM
people can call it junk science all they want, but the blood type diet worked wonders for me, and I still follow it 4 years later.
Monday, December 22, 2008, 10:04 AM
USDA food guide pyramid worked for me!
I think that the food guide pyramid gets a bad rap because most people have no idea what is meant by a "serving," so it looks more unhealthy than it is. For instance, 1 piece of bread is a serving. A guy who eats 2 sandwiches for lunch is getting 4 servings of bread, which does not leave a lot of room for other carbs during the day. Likewise, a "serving" of meat is less than half a cup, so the food guide pyramid is recommending a whole lot less meat than most people eat in a day.
I once sat down and compared the Atkins diet maintenance plan to the USDA pyramid, and it differs in the allocation of a single serving per day, from grains to meat.

Diet Center
I'm going to get boo'ed but I joined a diet center called Slim for Life. It's in Kansas City, I don't know of anywhere else. IF IF IF you are actually ready to lose weight, join. You make and eat your own food. And yes, I've been sitting down to holiday dinners and eating them. (at least, some of it.) The diet isn't exciting, and TOUGH and EXPENSIVE. But if you stick to it, you lose weight. I'm 7 pounds from goal. After I reach goal, I will go on maintenance for 1 year to help keep the weight off. There is sooo much information out there, that I didn't know what was up, down, right, left, or wrong. All I knew was that I was teetering on going from kinda chubby to really fat. The more I tried to lose weight on my own, the more I gained. But a few words of warning: Most of the women who work there need to lose weight. Not a good sign. Also, I would not join unless you are committed to a year of maintenance after goal weight. You lose the weight pretty darn fast, and I'm afraid if I walk away, I'll gain it back just as fast. Common sense says that that is very possible. Anyway. Only time will tell if it was worth it.

Hey Atkins person...
I am doing a low carb diet too though not atkins specifically, are you looking to buddy up with someone still? I am a good motivator, and could sure use some good motivation myself!
take care,

By far... i think the fat smash diet is the way to go. There a lot of expensive food programs, but all you actually have to do is change your relationship with food. Eat vegetables and fruits and drink lots of water. Here''s an article to help you prepare.

Diets That Work
The article's looking good! There are of course many great diets out there that work, the problem is that with such huge marketing budgets and celebrity endorsements etc. so many people are left trying hyped fad diets and failing miserably as there's no long-term sustainability in them. The diets that work are generally the commonsense diets - healthy food groups, a good marcronutrient combo and really a lifestyle change associated. Was a good read!

Dairy Question
Could someone please direct me to a good source of information about the perils of dairy? I eat tons of 2% cottage cheese and yogurt and have never had a problem that I can identify, but I keep hearing about how dairy MUST be eliminated from our diets, and would really like to know the thinking behind this. Thanks!

Dr. Fuhrman's diet absolutely worked for me. In fact I almost have too much energy when my greens consumption is through the roof. this is exciting to have found this.

Greeting All,
As we all know, on the diagram, each object is shown as a rectangular box. Inside the box, we have object name, and type. I am not quite sure about the horizontal bar with red and grey color run right under the object type. Can any one tell me what information does the bar show?
Thank you for your time,

If you need to share configuration settings among multiple .NET assemblies, the practice of maintaining separate config files for each assembly can quickly become tedious. For instance, if you have multiple executables within a directory that all need a 'ConnectionString' entry in their config file, the traditional method in .NET would be for each executable to have its own config file. This can become a burden in an enterprise environment when you need to change the connection string, as you would be forced to change each individual config file. Fortunately, there is a better approach. This better approach involves using the File attribute of the .NET config file's appSettings element. This attribute should contain the relative path to a custom config file, which all other applications can share. The description from MSDN on the appSettings File attribute follows:
Specifies a relative path to an external file containing custom application configuration settings. The specified file contains the same kind of settings that are specified in the <add>, <remove>, and <clear> elements and uses the same key/value pair format as those elements. The path specified is relative to the main configuration file. For a Windows Forms application, this would be the binary folder (such as /bin/debug), not the location of the application configuration file. For Web Forms applications, the path is relative to the application root, where the web.config file is located.
Note that the runtime ignores the attribute if the specified file can not be found.
Essentially, each executable's config file will contain an entry such as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings file="settings.config"> </appSettings> </configuration>
where "settings.config" is a custom config file which looks something like this:
<appSettings> <add key="Setting1" value="This is Setting 1 from settings.config" /> <add key="Setting2" value="This is Setting 2 from settings.config" /> <add key="ConnectionString" value="ConnectString from settings.confg" /> </appSettings>
When you run your application, you simply use the AppSettings property from System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings to reference the configuration setting, such as:
Dim s As String = _ System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
In this case, if there is a 'ConnectionString' key in the individual config file, that value will be used. Otherwise, the value will be retrieved from the shared "settings.config" file.
As indicated above, if you choose, each individual config file can also define the keys which are present in the shared config file. In that case, the individual config file settings will take precedence over the shared config file. That could be useful in a situation where you want to quickly test a new setting without disrupting the other applications which are using the shared config file.
Hopefully, this article has shed some light on the sometimes confusing world of .NET configuration files. I hope many of you find this method useful when dealing with multiple configuration files. Good luck.

Benito Gomez-Medrano, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of possession and one count of distribution of a schedule II controlled substance, methamphetamine.
In exchange for Gomez-Medrano's guilty plea, the prosecutor dropped three charges of possession and three charges of distribution of methamphetamine and Gomez-Medrano was assured not to receive a state prison sentence longer than eight years.
Gomez-Medrano was the alleged leader of an area drug "organization" targeted by a six-month multi-agency investigation. The investigation resulted in a raid in April during which law enforcement officers arrested nine suspects. Gomez-Medrano is held on $250,000 bond, the amount requested in court documents, which note his extensive criminal history, numerous aliases, propensity to become involved in criminal activity with juveniles, and his status as a previously deported felon.
Roberto Loya, 26, pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine, one of two felony charges he faced. The charge of distribution of cocaine was dismissed in exchange for his guilty plea.
Loya faces up to 12 years in state prison, possible fines up to $500,000, and three years of mandatory probation.
Luis Alcantar-Burciaga, 26, pleaded guilty to attempted possession of cocaine. In exchange for his guilty plea, the District Attorney's office dismissed the charges of possession and distribution of cocaine.
District Judge Michael O'Hara conditionally accepted the guilty pleas and ordered pre-sentence investigations for all three defendants. O'Hara scheduled the three to be sentenced Aug. 25.
Others charged in the April raids include Anthony Rossi, 22, who was sentenced July 1 to 90 days in jail and 4 years probation for distribution of a schedule II narcotic, and Ignacio Rodriguez, 57.
Rodriguez awaits a preliminary hearing scheduled for July 22.
Assistant District Attorney David Waite said he is working on a plea agreement with Rodriguez.

Reader: People want a refund for Katt Williams? How about for Bree's addiction piece?
A week ago, Bree Davies was excited to see Katt Williams perform. But excitement turned to sadness when he finally took the stage at the Wells Fargo Theatre on November 1, and proceed to completely lose his shit in front of the audience. "What I witnessed in Williams was a total loss of control and a very public breakdown," she says.

Here's some great playing on a Gil:
Shaun Garrity
Masa618- the guy plays the heck out of that Gil. His is #182, tone bar, and sounds like it has been played A LOT.
The last cut on Tone Poems, "Song For Two Pamelas" features a Gilchrest. Incredible tone on that one, but then Grisman might have something to do with that.
Mike Bloder
Hogan F-5
Northfield NF-5S
Boy thats a nice one ya have there, Neat inlay!My 82 is X braced,I'd like to play an 82 tone bar,to see the differences
I saw an old clip of Ron McCoury playing his Gil and wondered why he would ever want a Loar, the Gil sound ed as good....Not to be negative but I did play one at a festival in Kissimmee Fla. that wasn`t up to the normal Gil sound but it was new and may have need needed to be "played" in....I would have still liked to own it....
The Last two times I have seen Ronnie, he was playing the Gil.I talked to him after I heard the Del McCoury band at Thomas Point Beach. He told me he had to play the Gil when he played with Dirks due to needing to use the pickup. He said they have to use pickups with Dirks because the women scream so loud. He said that got him playing the Gil again and he just got used to it again. He said his Gil has a super small neck that he likes, and his Loar has a very large neck that I believe he said is radiused. He said he also liked that his Gil had a little more bass. When I saw a few weeks ago with the Traveling McCourys and Peter Rowan he was playing it too. One of the all time most important mandolins in my mind. The Loar sounds awesome too of course. I am pretty convinced what we hear at this point is 80% Ronnie 20% any given mandolin. Related to that does anyone else think Ronnie's Gil sounds remarkably different tahn it used to on some of the older recordings such as the Cold Hard Facts? Awesome either way, but I feel that it used to sound a lot more modern/ dark, and now much more traditional/ Loarish. I know mandolins change, and this mandolin has probably been played more than most, but I can't help that it is just mostly Ronnie pulling what he wants to hear out of the mandolin.

Yes He did have another one, but I don't think the other Gil was ever used as his main one. I don't know this for sure. i am pretty sure the one he is using now is the same one he got I think in the early 80's from the Dawg. I have always assumed the mandolin on albums such as the Cold Hard Facts was that early 80's X braced Gil,
If it is not, well that would explain it.
These are thoughts directly from the wood master himself. Mr. Gilchrist believes the materials supercede the bracing pattern, but they do make a difference. Wildly oversimplified, but the generalization was super-stiff Red Spruce equates to a more piercing mid-range and the less stiff Englemann would have less mid-range punch, more fluffy, as he put it. As the red spruce gets played in, the power of both the extreme bottom end and extreme top end come into the same range as the mid-range punch. A comment made about one of his newer red spruce/tone bar machines was that it was what he felt a Loar would sound like new, now go play it for 80 years.
I've owned and played a number of Loars over the years, and am reasonably familiar with the overall tonal quality a Loar can achieve (although every one I've experienced had its own voice). #693, which is red spruce and tone bar, has many of those tonal characteristics - more than other newish mandolins (including older Gils) that I've played. VERY resonant. Great balance, string to string and up the neck (the G string from the 6th fret up is a little tight). Really complex tone with cutting E, and beautiful, full G,D and A strings. Orchestral when you hit an open chord. Great sustain. And deceptive power. You can keep digging in and it keeps responding.
I've heard from someone else who got one of #693's siblings, and has also experienced many vintage F5's. He said the same thing. Sounds like a Loar. I've seen/heard a number of claims that this mandolin or that is as good as a Loar, but I'd never played a new mandolin that reminded me of a Loar, until now. Obviously it is kind of silly to claim a mandolin that's less than a year old could be as good as a well played in 90 years old mandolin that's the the archetype for all mandolins. But this mandolin has a lot of those tonal qualities.
Nice vid, great player. Check it at around the 5:30 mark -
Ronnie has a tonegard on his Loar. Fight or no fight?

This is one of the aspects of Red Spruce I find most appealing. My G5 has so much headroom when playing, it seems like there is always a higher gear/volume. I find it generally true that Engelmann especially but also Sitka to some extent seem to compress when I go up in volume or even distort a little. Engelmann and Sitka are both a little warmer and open early on, to be sure.
Folks, these are just general comments, but they seem to hold true in my experiences.

I love this comment. Reminds me of an ad for a Givens in the old MWN: The sound keeps on coming. Never breaks up.You can keep digging in and it keeps responding.
It is so true.
Great clip of Ronnie and his mandolins....I compared the Loar with his Gilchrist and to me there isn`t a lot of difference if any, the Loar may be a tad louder but that just might be the position he had away from the mic....Both are great mandolins and he said that he was given the Gilchrist by Grissman, now I need to find a friend like that, I once gave a PacRim mandolin to an up and coming picker but it was far from a Gil...
Great video....Willie
I think this recording capture's the sound of Compton's Gilchrist well.
I have owned and played many Gilchrists and to my ears the Gil in Shaun's clip has the most Loarish tone I have ever heard from a Gil. Man I love it. I wonder if it has that thick "brooding or dark" undertone that you can hear/feel on a MM or Loar when played live? Does anyone know if Steve has changed anything in his bulilding recently? I like what I got but man that makes me want a Gil that sounds like that one real bad!!!
It doesn't matter . . . I'm going to WINFIELD!!!!!
My opinion, some based on conversation, is that the methodology hasn't changed, but the tonal goal has. When building from the old list he was asked to build McCoury sounding instruments. Since that list was completed, he was able to pursue more of the sound that he had come to believe was closer to Loar as a new instrument. In that time, his own playing improved dramatically allowing him to hear more of what he was trying to get to, more of the subtlety of the truly great instruments. All of this leading to a consistent improvement in building. As great as his early instruments are, the newer ones are as good as anything being built.
You have to believe that at the 700 instrument mark, the guy has had the opportunity to really refine and fine tune the build process. It is still hard for me to believe anyone could accomplish that without a shop full of elves to help.
That mandolin in the clip above posted by Shaun is, I believe, a truly superior example. Man, I love that tone.

Brother Steve,
Thank you for the comments. I am just trying to keep a little popsicle stand from burning down. Maybe Spin, who has had multiple opportunities to identify herself by name, is correct. Maybe RTF would have prospered under my humble watch since 1998 much more if I allowed more cheer leading for corporate favorites and such.
Spin sees the line more clearly now. The ball is on her side.
Steve, there are times where long term standby allies make one feel strong and supported. Your comments have made one of those.

WooTumblog support ?
July 2011
edited July 2011
Hello !
I just launched a reworked version of my blog (
if you want to see the result) and I wanted to know if MarsEdit can support the Tumblog "categories" ?
With the custom fields, I managed to make it ALMOST work, but I still miss the tumblog stuff. :/
Check those pics ->
WP Admin :
ME Post edit :
The missing part is the "tumblogs" categories at the bottom of the sidebar in WP Admin.
Btw, you need to update that UI so all the custom fields don't "uglify" it that much. ;)
Thanks for you help.
PS : Marsedit maybe my most used software since my 1st Macbook Pro around 2005. Thx again for that awesome software and the AWESOME anti-crash feature years before Lion. Saved my ass more than once. :)
Daniel Jalkut
July 2011
Hi - not sure I understand what "Tumblog categories" are ? They are different from the normal WordPress categories? Do you expect them to appear in the same list with the other categories?
Glad you have been a long-time satisfied MarsEdit user!
July 2011
edited July 2011
mmm I think it's using taxonomy to do "others" categories but I really don't know how it's working. Sadly I'm no coder. ;)
The plugin is here
if you want to check it.
Right now I just use ME to write a post then copy paste it and set everything inside WP admin. Sad workflow. ;)
Daniel Jalkut
July 2011
Ah - thanks, I just looked at your picture again and I see now the Tumblogs categories list in the UI. There is certainly no way presently for MarsEdit to display custom "extra" checkbox lists like this. The only way I can think to allow editing these values is if by some chance the plugin also uses a custom field for this, and actually stores it e.g. as a comma separated list of names. Then you could have a custom field for editing them by hand at least, even though not with a checkbox list.
July 2011
Well, I hope something will come up. I think the post "type" that we got in WP 3.1 is behind all this. ;) Happy hunting !
July 2011
-- If I'm not mistaken, the WooThemes "Tumblog Categories" are in the process of being replaced by WordPress's "Custom Post Types". All of their newer themes seem to treat the old format as "deprecated" and, for reasons that will become clear in my comment to Daniel, you may want to consider moving your theme/content in that direction.
-- It looks like with WP 3.1+, you can now get/set Custom Post Type information via XML-RPC. (From the 3.1 release notes: "XML-RPC expose post format details, new method: 'wp.getPostFormats', new field in methods dealing with posts: wp_post_format")
I also found a few Trac items that may be of interest:
Assuming that my read of this is correct and that, on some very happy day in the future, we might be able to use MarsEdit to publish Custom Post types... can I day-dream out loud and wish for it to be selectable via AppleScript as well? :D
Daniel Jalkut
August 2011
Thanks, Justin, for all the useful links and info. I will have to dig through this a bit more when I get a chance. I have been planning to support custom post formats, but haven't totally figured out all the implications. I'm hoping it's as simple as presenting a list of the post formats to the user via a popup, similar to how Tumblr support in MarsEdit works today (Post "Kind" next to the blog popup).
August 2011
If I'm right, WooTumblog moved to custom post format at 3.1 release already ? I may be wrong though :x
August 2011
-- Yeah, I think that's right.... but they are still supporting the "old way" for a while since many people already have their content loaded in via the previous method.
-- I'm hoping that it's that simple as well! :D
Daniel Jalkut
August 2011
Sounds like this could all "just work" if I get custom post format support hooked up for WordPress. No promises, as usual, but I want to look into this soon.
September 2011
Hi Daniel
... I would also appreciate it if you can extend support for custom post types as I'm also a big user of WooThemes.
Daniel Jalkut
September 2011
Thanks, Damien! It's still on my list. Hopefully won't be too long.
December 2012
Should be possible now, and kinda IMPOSSIBLE for MarsEdit to not have. Or it will be a dead product soon. :(
December 2012
edited December 2012
(I was speaking about the custom post type ofc ;) )
Daniel Jalkut
December 2012
Sorry - I can see how it would seem that way if you have a workflow that is highly dependent on custom post types.
December 2012
Well, when I see Poster on iPad
and Mars Edit right now, I'm kinda sad. Mars Edit is falling way behind the core features of Wordpress and other services. And don't get me wrong. I'm an old time customer / supporter ! ;)
Daniel Jalkut
December 2012
I appreciate that. It's a challenge for me to keep up with all the evolving features of all the systems that MarsEdit supports, but the custom post format support for WordPress is definitely among my priorities.
January 2013
edited January 2013
Do you have a timeframe for when you expect to support post formats? Over in
this thread
you said it was on your TODO list nearly two years ago and now it's "among my priorities". Just trying to gauge realistically when this might be available. In 2013?
Also, you probably know this, but please note that post formats are distinct from post types. WooTumblog can now use the native WordPress post formats instead of its custom post types that were used before the post format support was introduced in WordPress 3.1. Native post formats seem much simpler to support (from an outside perspective of course) than custom post types.
Daniel Jalkut
January 2013
Sorry - I hate being reminded about how poorly I am able to keep up with the long list of things on my TODO list and that I do want to implement but that are repeatedly, for a variety of reasons, put off because of other priorities. Just for one example, I ended up last year having to spend a long time revamping MarsEdit's Tumblr support because of an unexpected deactivation of their previous API.
It's challenging to develop and support a tool like MarsEdit because of the huge variety of improvements and the changing feature sets of the systems it supports.
As you can guess, it's bad enough that I get caught making statements about priorities, and then reminded 2 years later they haven't happened. It would be even worse if I said specifically when I hoped to get something done.
When I say it's still among my priorities, I mean it, but I'm afraid I can't be any more specific than that.

Microsoft has released its next-generation Windows operating system deployment tool for information technology pros, called Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010.
More on Windows 7 from GCN:
For some users, Windows 7 upgrade could take 20 hoursMicrosoft says Windows 7 is deployable nowHP unveils snappy laptop PCs with eye toward Windows 7
The free tool, part of Microsoft's Solution Accelerators series of free administrative apps, is the company's "recommended process" for automating server and desktop deployments. It can be downloaded here for both x86 and x64 machines.
MDT 2010 is particularly designed to handle Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 deployments. However, the toolkit can also automate deployments of Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, according to Microsoft's release notes.
MDT 2010 provides "standardized desktop and server images." It can be used for so-called Lite Touch Installation (LTI) deployments, or it can work with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 release candidate for "zero-touch installation."
Microsoft defines an LTI as "an interactive installation and deployment of XP SP2 or Vista complete with application install and any other needed configuration of the final image on destination computers." It's the process used when an organization lacks a systems management solution.
A two-part video series provided by Microsoft illustrates how MDT 2010 can be used for LTIs, as referenced in this blog.
IT pros who use Windows Deployment Services and MDT 2010 can add a script to automatically update boot images, according to a blog post by Michael Niehaus, a systems design engineer at Microsoft. Niehaus has been blogging for several months on various noteworthy features in the new toolkit. His series of posts can be accessed here.
One new feature in MDT 2010 is the ability to "access deployment shares from anywhere on the network," according to the release notes. A deployment share is a folder that contains all source files needed for an operating system installation. Users can copy the contents of the deployment share "across organizational boundaries or sites," according to the MDT 2010 release notes.
Microsoft is also touting an improved graphical user interface in MDT 2010 to manage deployments plus automation using the Windows PowerShell command line interface. Users who are curious can view the PowerShell-equivalent scripts generated by the GUI-driven wizards in MDT 2010.
Microsoft's toolkit team said that this release contains more than 70 percent code changes over the previous toolkit, MDT 2008. IT pros wanting to use MDT 2010 should check the release notes first before upgrading from MDT 2008, the team said.

After ten years, the Big Finish series Gallifrey is coming to an end in 2013, to tie in with the 50th anniversary year.
The collections of stories that herald the end, Gallifrey Series V and Series VI are now available for pre-order (placing a pre-order a year in advance means a massive wait, of course…) on CD or download. V will be released in February 2013 while VI will be released in November the same year.
Gary Russell, the producer of the series for the last ten years, seems rather pumped about the upcoming releases, saying
We've already told eighteen astonishing stories about these characters, and these final six chapters will see the series culminate in a truly breathtaking and dare I say nail-biting (big) finish. Whether everyone makes it safely to that end, though, remains to be seen…
Starring (at least) Lalla Ward, John Leeson and Louise Jameson, it sounds as though the finale to the Time Lord political thriller will be worth waiting for!

The Bay of Plenty Times Christmas Appeal has raised more than $15,000 for Tauranga Community Foodbank in just three weeks.
And with another three weeks of the campaign to go until Christmas, foodbank chairman Mike Baker is overwhelmed at the community response.
"It's been beyond our wildest expectations," he said.
"I appreciate the fact there's an awful lot of people, businesses and individuals, that are struggling out there, but the generosity of the community still comes to the fore.
"They are still prepared to provide us with items or give us cash."
Since the launch of the appeal three weeks ago, the Western Bay community has donated $10,570.27 in cash to the foodbank and 5164 items of food - worth a total of $15,734.27. Each food item is being counted as $1.
This week, the total was hugely boosted by a $6000 donation by the Port of Tauranga.
Bay of Plenty Times editor Scott Inglis said the campaign had got off to a fantastic start and hoped the donations would continue as the Christmas spirit blossomed this month.
"The people of Tauranga have really got behind this cause and clearly see the need in the community for the foodbank," he said.
"Individuals, businesses and schools have all been incredibly generous."
Mr Baker said the foodbank was bracing itself for an increase of needy families over the Christmas period.
The money and food items raised in the campaign would be a huge help in feeding them, he said. "What the appeal has done for us is set us up for the first half of 2012 and we have still got another three weeks to go."
In addition to the Port of Tauranga, businesses that have donated to the Bay of Plenty Times Christmas Appeal include Young Read Woudberg, Fitco and Cooney Lees Morgan.
The region's schools have also got behind the cause.
So far, schools that have committed to the appeal are St Mary's Catholic School, Papamoa Primary School, Otumoetai Intermediate, Greenpark School, Tauranga Girls' College, Bellevue School and Otumoetai College. Tauranga Boys' College runs its own foodbank appeal every August.

This desk is where you can check out materials and laptops, inquire about the status of a book, and ask to have a search placed on a book. The Services Desk also checks out Course Reserves materials, and materials that have been requested from off-site storage, or ordered through Interlibrary Loan. The library's Lost and Found is also located here.
