Santa Margarita hockey team seeks hat trick
ANAHEIM – Standing in the shadow of the Honda center, shortly after punctuating a perfect league record with a league title, the mood among Santa Margarita hockey players is celebratory, relieved and everything else you would expect. One thing is certain though: as of Thursday night the Eagles are still not content with their accomplishments.
Before defeating JSerra, 4-3, Thursday for the Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League Varsity 1A Championship, the Eagles had already captured the California Amateur Hockey Association High School state championship and booked a trip to the national tournament March 20-24 in Coral Springs, Fla.
Junior forward Brian Desmond said there was a "trilogy" of championships the Eagles were aiming for. "We won state, won league and now we're really striving for nationals," Desmond said on Thursday night. "We got two out of three and now we've got one more to go."
Thursday night's game was a rematch of the 2012 league title game and another chapter in the league's oldest rivalry. For the second year in a row the Eagles entered the championship game with a perfect league record. In 2012, the Lions spoiled the Eagles' perfect run with a 3-2 victory in the league championship game. In 2013, Santa Margarita was determined not to let that happen again.
Goals by Tatu Hiltunen, Eemil Selanne and Max Kilkuts gave the Eagles a 3-1 lead after two periods but they suddenly coughed it up, allowing JSerra to tie the score at three going into the final ten minutes. With 6:22 left in the game, however, Desmond smashed home the eventual game-winning goal from close range.
"Especially for all the guys that were on this team last year ... we couldn't let that happen again," Desmond said. "This one was for pride."
With two championships secured, the Eagles now begin preparations for a run at a national title.
"This is our third year in a row going and I know how tough it is to win it, you have to have a lot go right for you," head coach Craig Johnson said. "At the same time, in saying that, I know our team has what it takes to win it."
Team captain Branden Vara said the team's goal "is obviously to win it. ... We want to go out there and we want to do our best and we want to win the whole thing this year."
A year ago in Utah, Santa Margarita advanced through pool play with a 3-0 record but fell, 2-1, to Iowa's Waterloo Warriors in the quarterfinals.
While the level of play in the five-year-old league is constantly rising, the Eagles still won games this season by margins as wide as 7-0, 9-0, and 13-0.
At the national tournament Santa Margarita will face stiffer competition; last year the Eagles' four games were decided by a total of five goals.
"We learned basically we can't come out thinking we've got it for granted," senior forward and team captain Branden Vara said. "We beat these teams but then we go to nationals it's a whole different game. We've got to come on top of our game for every single game."
After graduating eight seniors from last season's team, Santa Margarita had to rely on younger members who were a part of the 2012 success to step into those leadership roles.
"I think it's just the boys that we had last year knew that there was a void to fill and we filled it," Vara said. "The kids that came up really stepped up and they played amazing."
As Johnson said, "That's the great thing about high school sports, you don't trade kids away they graduate. So they move on and different guys have to step up."
Desmond, the team's leading goal scorer, credits team chemistry for being able to sustain the run of success.
"I think both years, last year and this year, our chemistry is really key," Desmond said. "We bond really well together.
The Eagles' goal earlier in the season may have been simply to make it back to the national tournament, but now, with two titles under their belt, they are looking to improve on last year's top-eight finish.
"I think the first stage was to get there but everyone had it in the back of their mind to win it too," Hiltunen said about the team's goals in regard to the national tournament. "We've won ... league and state this year so far but no one's satisfied yet.
"Especially after state everyone said 'this is not clearly enough for the team.' We want to ... be the first team from California to win it obviously and show a lot of people that California hockey is a lot better than people expect it to be."

More Trees Than You Can Shake A Stick At updated: Oct 23, 2010, 10:00 AM
By Billy Goodnick
Lin and I were in San Diego last weekend, delighting in the gloom and drizzle in Balboa Park, visiting family, and getting a crash course on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the San Diego Museum of Art.
On our slog home along the 405, we stopped in Costa Mesa to pay homage, and engage in some camera play, at a magical corporate plaza where landscape architecture meets sculptural art - Isamu Noguchi's California Scenario.
The gathering of sculptural icons amounts to an allegorical tale of water in California as it cascades down steep mountains, nurtures forests, flows through fields and deserts, and eventually is consumed by The City, disappearing into a dark slot in a glistening, low-slung, somewhat sinister looking pyramid.
I learned of this Noguchi work when I studied landscape architecture and have returned from time to time as a reminder of what design and art can say. I also enjoy seeing how the plantings have evolved and matured over the decades.
California Scenario is bounded by a parking structure and by two nothing-to-write-home-about glass office towers. The massive scale of these buildings is brilliantly balanced by Noguchi's command of space and scale. (more images)
The now towering redwood trees that border three sides of a sloping native sedge meadow are striking in their size, taming the massiveness of the buildings. They remind me of how the intelligent matching of purpose, plant, and place are essential for a well-executed landscape.
Back on the 405
The afterglow of our art pilgrimage was dulled when we continued our northward trek and stopped in West LA for a bite. At the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Sheryl Crowe St. - no, make that Sawtelle Blvd. - I gazed out the window of a miniscule Japanese restaurant at a bleak urban landscape, starkly devoid of anything green (other than the edamame Lin was daintily devouring). Not a tree or plant to break the depressing pall of old, tired buildings, overhead wires and traffic. "We sure ain't in Santa Barbara," I kvetched to Lin. "Nobody around here will be picking up any Tree City USA designations."
It's one of those things where you have to leave home to appreciate what you've got, whether it's the perfect, flaccid feather pillow you've come to rely on, or the diverse canopy of trees that add richness to our fair city.
Did you know that the public spaces within the city limits of Santa Barbara contain over 45,000 street, park and open space trees? That works out to about a half a tree for each citizen, or 1086 trees per square mile.
And despite the ubiquitous lavender blossoms that adorn the skyline and anoint the sidewalks in spring, not all of those trees are jacarandas. Tim Downey, City Arborist at the Parks and Recreation Department, told me that Santa Barbara's roster is incredibly diverse, boasting 456 varieties of evergreen, deciduous and palm trees. (Compared to Santa Monica's measly 350, we're like soooooo totally bitchen!) Tim attributes the great variety of trees to Santa Barbara's rich horticultural legacy and the foresight of people like A. Boyd Doremus (first superintendent of the Parks Department), Joseph Sexton, Francesco Franceschi, Owen Orpet and others.
Aside from the visionary zeal of rabid horticulturists past and present, we can thank our benign Mediterranean climate for the conditions that allow us to grow such a rich palette of plants. Within a short walk along downtown's State Street commercial corridor, you might encounter the near mystical polychromatic trunk of rainbow eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta, aka Mindano Gum), exotic African tulip trees (Spathodea campanulata), California native trees like western redbud (Cercis occidentalis) and sycamore (Platanus racemosa), and what might be the northernmost specimen of Royal Palm (Roystonea regia). Much of this recent diversity was introduced through a series of downtown redevelopment projects spearheaded by landscape architect Bob Cunningham and his cracker jack crew at Arcadia Studio. (more about State St. landscaping)
While I have you here, lemme extol the virtues of trees that go beyond their natural beauty and ability to suck up CO2 and produce life-giving oxygen:
•Their shade invites us to sip a refreshing, frosty lemonade in the yard on hot days
•They cool streets and other paving to reduce the heat-island effect in cities, and make it so we can get into our cars without our bare thighs sizzling like a Shalhoob steak on the grill.
•Trees help reduce erosion by slowing and trapping surface water flow and by holding water on their foliage.
•And birds and other critters rely on them for habitat and food.
For The Kids
Which leads me to the National Arbor Day Foundation and the good works of Santa Barbara Beautiful, an organization founded in 1965 to raise funds for planting street and park trees. (See previous Edhat article)
Another invaluable service SBB makes happen is the Arbor Day Poster Contest, a spring event for fifth grade students in local school districts.
The program combines environmental awareness with the creative process in order to encourage good citizenship and a sense of community. Contest winners, parents and school officials are invited to City Hall to meet the mayor and City Council during the annual Arbor Day Proclamation.
Jacqueline Dyson, vice-prez of public relations, says that SBB has its hands full facilitating the Arbor Day events at a few elementary schools in Santa Barbara, but she wants to "encourage other schools in the region to get on board. The Arbor Day Foundation makes it easy, with starter kits for the poster contest, and curricula that art and science teachers can use to make the connection between trees, the environment, and the classroom."
If you'd like to help a local elementary school expand their earth-friendliness and community consciousness (and listen to the kids' giggles as they throw shovelfuls of dirt into freshly-dug tree pits), visit the Arbor Day Foundation website and find out how to get rolling. Arbor Day 2011 is on April 30, so now is the time to put out feelers at your school.
I'm not sure how I got from San Diego to Costa Mesa to West LA to Santa Barbara, but I hope you've enjoyed this little excursion.
I Need Help While I have you here, I'd love a few ideas for new stories. Every two weeks I go through cold sweats -- they make my withdrawal from Fruit Loops seem like a spa weekend -- wondering what the hell I'm going to write about. Whatcha interested in? More Crimes Against Horticulture? Design inspiration? Cool plants? How to put more fiber in your diet? Give it up, wouldja?

An asteroid about half the size of a football field will zoom past Earth on Feb. 15, closer than the man-made satellites that power GPS, says NASA.
"This is a record-setting close approach," Don Yeomans of NASA's Near Earth Object Program at JPL said in a video released by NASA this week. Yeomans, however, emphasized that the asteroid, designated 2012DA14, won't hit Earth.
"It will come interestingly close, closer than many man-made satellites," he said.
2012DA14 will thread the gap between low earth orbit, where the International Space Station and many earth observation satellites are located and the higher belt of geosynchronous satellites, which provide weather data and telecommunications.

At its closest point, the asteroid will only be 17,200 miles above our planet's surface.
"The odds of impact with a satellite are extremely remote," Yeomans adds. "Almost nothing orbits where DA14 passes the Earth.
Four self-driving cars you can (almost) own today
At 50 meters wide, the asteroid is "neither very large nor very small" and is probably made of stone as opposed to ice or metal. Yeomans estimates that an asteroid flies past Earth, on average, every 40 years, yet actually hits the planet once every 1200 years or so.
Even if DA14 did strike the planet, the impact wouldn't be cataclysmic, unless, of course, you happened to be near it. A similar sized object created a mile wide crater in Arizona. That one was made of metal, devastating the area 50 miles around.
"That asteroid was made of iron," says Yeomans, "which made it an especially potent impactor."
Are politicians lying? There's an app for finding out
In 1908, an asteroid exploded in the atmosphere above Siberia, leveling hundreds of square miles of forest.
NASA will be tracking the asteroid with its Goldstone Radar in the Mojave Desert beginning Feb. 16., revealing physical characteristics such as size, spin and reflectivity. The data will also allow NASA to create a 3D radar map.
Amateur astronomers will have a shot at observation, too. The asteroid will get fairly bright as it approaches until it resembles a star of 8 magnitudes. Theoretically, that would make it an easy target for backyard telescopes but the problem is speed, explains Yeomans.
Since the asteroid will be traveling at a speed equal to twice the width of a full moon every minute, only experienced or extremely lucky stargazers will catch a glimpse of DA14.

- AC can be generated at high voltages, but DC cannot be generated at high voltages because sparking starts at the commutator at high voltage, due to which commutator gets damaged.
- High voltages AC generators are much simpler and cheaper than DC generators of the same range. It is because in AC generators there i no commutator which is costly part and is damaged.
- Alternating current can be stepped up or stepped down with a static device called transformer. When voltages is stepped up current decreases to a small value. Small current produces less heat and can be transmitted through a thin conductor.Thus it is possible to transmit AC at high voltages. This reduces the size of conductor, transmission losses ans increases transmission efficiency. At the receiving station, voltages can be stepped down to the required value by using step down transformer. This is most important reason for generating and using electrical energy as AC.
- A.C. induction motors are simplest in construction, cheaper in cot and require less maintenance whereas D.C. motors are complicated.

Hm, didn't Ryukishi say something like "some people might not recognize the murders at first"? Quote:
For instance, in a story, it's totally reasonable to say that an event X happened according to random chance, even if you deliberately wrote it that way. So Ange can pick a cake slice "at random" in piece terms and still be "certainly correct" in author terms. But think about what that means when, instead of dictating a pre-arranged plot, the author decides to let the pieces act naturally, as Featherine apparently does for Ange. In that case, a piece's beliefs and actions might very well influence the author to change the contents of a cat box for her, even if from the piece's perspective "there was always only one truth in the box."

One more question, Bern said the seals couldn't be broken, however Rudolf or Kyrie would have had to break them to get out of the mansion for the final scene, what's up with that? are we to imply the game ended when we gave an answer so it doesn't count anymore that's a bit of a cheat |

I'm pretty sure she does since she gives you a riddle. However, Beatrice doesn't give a riddle either...lesse.
Kinzo, Krauss, Natsuhi, Jessica, Eva, Hideyoshi, George, Rudolf, Kyrie, Rosa, Maria, Nanjo, Genji, Gohda, Kumasawa, Shannon, Kanon. 17. Yea, alright. I miscounted initially.

About seals, I guess I'll have to more makeup a theory but... My understanding is not that the seals "keep them inside" as much as it's a statement that "so far, the seal hasn't been broken, thus they cannot have left". Naturally this imply they can leave anytime, just that they hadn't yet. Unrelated but concerning the 17 medals, the whole thing's a bit far right now but I seem to remember that Jessica and George's puzzle gave 2 metals. 16 Puzzles, but 17 medals. |

By saying that I think she was only ruling out in our reasoning that "seal was intact at X moment but it could later be broken". It's not a red that has an actual bearing on the progression of the story, which is a separate thing from our reasoning in finding the culprit.

However the fact that the seals can't be broken seems to be a big point..... if the seal could be broken at any time then for example Battler/Kyrie would be enough for the solution, you need a third culprit because someone must stay hidden in the room. If the seal could be broken at any time the same person who hid in the room could just walk out of the mansion and kill the others with the help of battler

Dude, it's ducttape; you can break that shit trying to open a door. The only thing tapeseals actually do is make sure no one leaves without leaving a sign. Therefor Kyrie and Rudolf had to keep playing dead until Battler had the survivors dwindled and cornered.

The red does say that "all of the seals... will not be broken" though. Which means that even though it's possible to break the seals, noone did, and the garden scene is contradictory if this red is taken at face value (only one of Rudolf and Kyrie should be there). I guess you could get around this by saying the red only applied to the game itself, and not stuff that happened afterwards.

Confused on one point of the culprit game:
Couldn't George have killed Maria (or Battler if George and Maria were together) after the 8th twilight? That would have allowed for them to be the child culprits. Their was nothing that required you to have committed a murder before the game 'ended' to be a culprit. |

@ ferthepoet
I sorta get the feeling you're making this more complex then it is. Think of the red truth as a "rule of the game" and of Rudolph/Kyrie's final appearance as "an endgame cutscene". @ Domiano Why need murders after when the story tells us directly we can set that rule aside by having them murder before? |

A U.S. district court judge has given preliminary approval for Apple to pay a US$450 million settlement for its role in an e-books price-fixing conspiracy.
Judge Denise Cote of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Friday approved the deal that would have Apple paying $400 million to affected e-book buyers and $50 million in attorneys fees in a class-action lawsuit, but only if Apple's appeal of a 2013 price-fixing ruling by the New York court is rejected.
If the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit reverses and remands the case back to district court, the settlement agreement approved by Cote would have Apple pay consumers $50 million and attorneys $20 million. If the appeals court reverses the 2013 decision by the New York court, Apple would pay no damages.
The proposed settlement is "fair and reasonable," Cote wrote in her order. Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the case "strongly believe" a remand to the district court is unlikely, she noted.
Apple representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the settlement.
The U.S. Department of Justice, in April 2012, filed an antitrust complaint accusing Apple and five book publishers of fixing the prices of e-books. Class-action law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro and several state attorneys general have agreed to $166 million in settlements on behalf of consumers from the five publishing companies.

hmmmm, as u see above I used macchanger, and it accepted it (using rt2800usb linux driver), and looking right now, I still have the same faked MAC (what I am getting at here = so far I still have the same faked MAC about 4-5mins after I "faked" it using macchanger)
u talking about this driver = rt2x00 (specifically rt2800usb)? I have been successful with WEP cracking so far, and have been able to capture WPA handshake. I not so sure that I've tested with tkiptun-ng yet... I am interested in what you mean, mind elaborating?Code:root@bt:~# macchanger -s wlan0 Current MAC: 2a:43:da:19:3a:9e (unknown)
thanks for commenting, glad to see others are interested in this adapter!

I used to race against this rider years ago. More accurately, when I started CX racing, this particular rider used to lap me nearly every weekend. I was always impressed with how natural he looked in an event where most people were visibly uncomfortable and struggling. He's one of those racers who makes it look easy.
He never raced on anything but steel bikes. Now he will have this frame, a 7005 Eaton ultralite 2 lb. 15 oz. version. I really hope it feels like something that he can return to racing on after a several year layoff . Most likely this will have a single chainring with double guards, hence the extra crimp on the drive side chain stay.
This frame is made with the lightest tube set I currently offer and is only a few ounces heavier than the scandium version of years past. No I get to ride in a supportive role for this rider......I hope I can just stay out of his way !

Wow, getting passed by Larry sure brings back memories. That guy was (and probably still is) an animal.

(At 8:30am? Think of the children!) No, morning news had not gone risque for the day, as I'd hoped, I was merely looking at this preview of ESPN The Magazine's third annual "Body Issue." As is tradition, a slew of new athletes will pose naked for this year's edition, including Hope Solo, the Mets' Jose Reyes, and snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, who also happens to be this year's cover girl. The issue, which has featured a nude Serena Williams on the cover in years past, will hit newsstands on Friday.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Playing in only his fourth game, freshman guard Jahmar Young scored 33 points, including 19 in the first half, to lead New Mexico State to a 76-73 victory over Boise State on Thursday night. Boise State (11-4, 2-1 Western Athletic Conference) had a chance to tie the game after calling a timeout with 6.8 seconds left and trailing by three points, but a running shot by Tyler Tiedeman bounced off the back of the rim and the Aggies grabbed the rebound. Young converted on 12 of 19 shots from the field and hit all six of his free throws to lead the Aggies (9-9, 3-0). Tiedeman scored 20 points, including 17 in the second half, to lead Boise State. Tiedeman matched a career high with six 3-pointers. New Mexico State had gone on a 14-2 run in the final four minutes of the first half to take a 46-34 lead after trailing by as many as nine points. With Tiedeman hitting five of six second-half 3-point attempts, Boise State chipped away at the Aggies' lead to trail by four with 9:39 left. The Broncos narrowed it to 75-73 with 1:27 left on a field goal by Reggie Larry. Fred Peete hit a free throw for the Aggies with 37 seconds remaining, setting the stage for the final shot by Tiedeman. Boise State's Larry left after a knee injury in the first half, but returned for the second, adding 18 points. Matt Nelson scored 15 points. Justin Hawkins had 14 points for the Aggies and Peete added 10. |

True Story, Bestiality, Interracial, Lactation
Author's infos
Gender: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Sat 4th of December 2004
My wife has been cumming more than she ever did in the first part of this true story (yes it is a true story), but what happened next is unbelievable.
We were in their basement and all the lights were on. We saw a sex play room with so many sex toys that it would take many pages to describe.
The neighbor's wife went behind my wife, still holding onto my wife's nipple, and grabbed her other nipple when he let go. He asked my wife if she wanted his cock and my wife shook her head no. He told his wife to give her a little friendly persuasion. She started to pull, pinch and squeeze my wife's large and reddened nipples. She moaned but still shook her head no.
"Well I guess we need to make this bitch a slave to our special tit toys." he said. Next they put my wife's wrist into cuffs hanging from the ceiling and she squirmed to get free but couldn't. "Now bitch." the wife said, "Try this.". Her husband put a nipple chain on my wife's nipples and started to add weights to it. My wife just smirked and stuck her tits and stretched nipples out into their faces to show she could take it.
"Well." the wife said. "She needs something stronger." She took the nipple chain and weights off rather roughly and pulled out a small shop vac with two hoses attached to it. My wife has used a breast pump and had no problem handling the strong suction on her nipples, but a shop vac may be more than she could take. She turned it on and sucked just the nipples in to its small openings. My wife screamed and moaned. She tried to squirm away but to no avail. The husband looked pleased but when my wife started to like the sucking and pulling of the vac as it sucked, he became upset. He didn't want her to enjoy the machine sucking her off.
"Wow, this tit whore bitch is something else." the wife said. The husband and wife talked to each other while my wife was enjoying the shop vac trying to milk her. "She is enjoying this too much." the man said. "Lets really give her something she can't take."
They went into a little refrigerator and came back with two small glass cylinders. The wife took one glass cylinder and her husband the other and stood in front of my wife and held up the cylinders in my wife's face. My wife saw what was in the cylinders and started to scream and squirm to get away but couldn't. The wife shut off the shop vac and the suction tubes fell off not completing their job. My wife's nipples were a good three inches and red by now. But she took and beat the vac. But now she may have met her match. Again they held up the cups and showed my wife what was coming next and asked her if she was ready to fuck. She shook her head no and they said "we'll see.".
I couldn't see what was in the cylinders because I was behind them to film my wife's milking. But as they walked closer to her I got into a better angle and I almost dropped the camera.
They each grabbed a tit and rubbed my wife's nipples against the icy cold glass cylinders. My wife was squirming, trying to get away plus screaming. The man took my wife's nipple and tit and slowly pushed it into the glass cylinder and into the cold water. My wife frantically tried to get away but he pushed her swollen nipple into the icy water. She kept struggling and trying to get her tit and nipple away but couldn't. I finally saw what was in the cylinder and zoomed the camera in on her nipple in the icy water and a very large leech swimming around it. He was forcing her to give her nipple to a leech. The leech squirmed around the glass and was brushing up next to her aroused nipple while she tried to free herself from the cylinder and what the leech would do to her nipple. But it was no use and she finally realized that. Her black would be lover kept telling her to relax and let the leech grab her nipple. "He's going to suck your nipple till he gets your milk from you.
My wife was going crazy and her black lover asked her one more time if she was ready to let him fuck her. She hesitated and really was thinking to give into him but nodded no again.
I zoomed in with camera on my wife's face, tit, nipple and leech getting ready to grab her big nipple. After what seemed forever, the leech grabbed my wife's nipple. She jerked and squirmed and screamed but the leech was attached to her nipple. Pleasure and pain was in her face. She turned red and tightened up her whole body as the leech started sucking for her milk. She did this for about three minutes before her black lover let her swollen tit out of the cylinder. Now freed the tit bounced out of control as my wife tried to shake off the leech sucking her nipple. Amazingly the nipple was swelling and definitely the leech was sucking something out of her. The leech started to get bigger with the blood he was sucking from my wife's nipple. She couldn't give the leech milk but it was sucking her blood from her nipple. The black lover now held my wife's head down towards the leech and told her to watch the leech suck her nipple and tit. Sure enough, it got more bloated as it reached the end of her nipple. It had almost all of her nipple in its body while sucking on all parts of her nipple.
My wife quit screaming and started pumping her tit to give her leech all of what it was sucking. The leech was now nursing off of my wife's tit and growing bigger. She was in a state of ecstasy and they now had her. She would almost do anything to keep this type of tit nursing up.
The wife now got into the act and showed my wife the other cylinder with another leech in it. My wife didn't hesitate letting her put her nipple in the icy water and quickly the second leech found the target and attacked it. This one was hungrier for her nipple and quickly sank its suckers into the nipple meat and grew quicker than the first.
My wife was now completely under their control. He made her stand in front of me and the camera and said he wanted to fuck her. He then told her to kiss his wife. She obeyed and frenched kissed her long and hard. He then told her to suck his cock and she quickly sucked in his cock. My wife was always shy about sucking my cock but now without hesitating sucked her black lovers cock without even thinking about it.
All this time the leeches were getting bigger and bigger and consuming more nipple. This was giving her the best tit suck she ever had. But they weren't done yet with her. They made her lay on her back with a pillow under her back so her massive tits were up and nipples with the leeches attached sucking greedily away on her. Next she was bent over and her tits hung straight down again showing how the leeches were attacking and sucking her nipples while getting fatter off their milking her blood through the nipples. Lastly they tormented the leeches with salt and they squirmed to get away from the salt but not letting go of my wife's ravished nipples. She must of came a hundred times.
Next they told me to zoom in on each of her tits starting with the leech on the right tit and slowly go up her tit till the camera caught her face and the expression of pleasure and pain. I did it to both tits and my wife truly was now enjoying it all.
The husband now came into the picture and kissed my wife with long licking kisses. She was getting aroused again and he kept whispering into her ear. She shook her head no over and over and he then dropped down to his knees and started to kiss her wet pussy. She shuddered but opened her legs up so he could snake his tongue up and into her wide-open pussy. His wife now came up behind my wife and started to kiss her and at first my wife resisted but I could tell she was giving in with the husband licking and eating out her pussy and his wife French kissing her long and deep.
When the black woman would stop kissing my wife and force her head to look down at the leeches nursing off her and her black husband sticking his big tongue deep into my wife's pussy and whispered something into her ear. My wife shook her head violently but after five minutes of total sexual gratification by the man, woman and leeches her shakes of no were getting weaker and less meaningful. Finally after eight minutes of total sex on just about all of her body she weakly shook her head and said, "Yes.". The black woman said "Louder." My wife again said yes. "Tell him and the camera what you are going to do." she said. "My black lover will fuck me." "No." she told my wife. "Say it like I told you to say it bitch."
My wife finally gave in and said what her black woman lover wanted her to say. "I want to have that nine inch cock nail me and plant his baby in my belly." my wife said. "What else?" the black woman said. " I want him to come at least three times to make sure I'm nailed and pregnant. I will milk for both of you and the baby. Please I need it now." With that he let my wife laid down on the floor with the pillow behind her back so her tits and leeches could be seen while he screwed her. My wife was about to get laid for the first time by a black man and she knew he was going to be pregnant with a black baby before the night was out. Just before he slid his cock into her she pleaded for him to put a rubber on but he just laughed. He slid the head of his nine inch cock into her pussy and even with all her pussy cum and being wide open it was tight. She squirmed and fought for a moment but then settled into a rhythm to let him in. Slowly he inched his way in and my wife began to enjoy her new black lover.
As he fucked my wife his wife kept telling her about the baby going into my wife's belly and how the black baby, her husband and her were going to make my wife nurse them with her big tits anytime they wanted her. All my wife could do was shake her head yes and ask for more.
The black man had come in my wife twice and now he wanted to shoot one more load to make sure and he told my wife to work and work hard so he can shoot one load of black baby cum into her swollen belly.
They both talked to my wife and it made her squirm that did the trick in making him more aroused and wanting to nail my wife for sure. Finally his wife told him to kiss my wife and stick his tongue down her throat till she fucked harder. He did and it did the trick to my wife who started to fuck him hard and fast. His cock was growing and he knew it. He quit kissing my wife and told his wife to come over and feel him fuck my wife and plant the black baby into her belly. He wanted to kiss his wife and this caused my wife to buck and squirm wanting him to kiss her while he shot the baby sperm into her giving her the thing they all now wanted; a black baby in my wife's belly.
Finally it happened and he came one last time. Without a doubt the husband and wife knew this sperm shot nailed my wife good and planted the black baby firmly in her belly. In nine months she would give them what they wanted and also make my wife the nanny, nurse and also their fucking slave.
Not the end but just the beginning.....................

"Impossible does not even begin to describe this crap. You know little about anatomy, and even less about biology. Finish high school and try again."
this guy's right. you ever been bitten by a leech? i doubt it, and i doubt yur wife has either. thing is, they are arasites and parasites dont like to be noticed. so they numb the area. putting aside the milk drinking(also questionable), your wife wouldn't feel the suction unless it was incredibly powerful, which it isnt because they also use an anticoagulant to keep the blood flowing. also, i kind of agree with the guy who posted three times for some reason.

The Horse Forum
- Horses for Sale
- - Possible Buy, OTTB Mare
Possible Buy, OTTB Mare Soo..BO decided she won't sell mey lease mare ST because she thinks I'll get bored with her and sell her on (not true, but..oh well). So, I'm going to look at this OTTB mare on saturday, hopefully with Copperhead to add in her opinion. They think the mare'll do well on barrels, which is my main focus..But, I also want an all arounder and trail/camp horse. II'll probably be selling in a year or two as either a 4H or CTR horse (what any horse I invest time into will be capable of). I personally like the looks of her, and she's not sorrel..so no reminiscing of ST (joke), lol. Here's her ad with pics. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/grd/3625594805.html I also found out that she's barefoot and has a tattoo off the track (not sure if she has papers or not though..I can get those with the tattoo though, right?). Posted via Mobile Device |
Anyone have any opinions they can form from the ad? I know the pictures aren't great and I'll take some good ones saturday. Posted via Mobile Device |
Beautiful floaty trot. I think this gal has potential for dressage once her bit evasion is resolved. |
I think she'd make an awesome barrel horse/trail-horse. She definitely doesn't work off her haunches enough for dressage though, like the person above said. Her trot wasn't all that impressive to me XD |
I do like her trot..I was thinking hunters as opposed to dressage though, dressage was kind of soured for me. I'm sure I could manage to get her collected and such for low levels since I need a horse that works off it's hind end for barrels anyway, but I guess dressage just isn't my cup of tea. Also..in that first picture, does anyone else see absolutely horrible feet..? I can't decide whether or not it's the picture or the hooves themselves, lol. It's sad to say, but until the bit evasion was mentioned I didn't even realize there was a video of her being ridden..lol. I thought it was just a video of her in the pasture and stopped watching, haha. Now that I see that though, if I decide on her she'll be restarted in a halter/sidepull/hack, then a snaffle with contact, then neck reining/curb. Posted via Mobile Device |
I have to wonder why that guy insisted on riding with both hands at his knees. The head issue can be resolved pretty easily. She canters very up-hill, and lifts her head as though she expects to be popped in the mouth for something. This could be from past attempts to slow her down since the woman said "See if you could keep her at a trot". Or it could be a nice way of asking the guy to just trot her. She doesn't look crazy and even though her head was high, her canter wasn't bad. I think she went along pleasantly enough when asked. We'll see how she is tomorrow. |
Will do, I'm very excited.(: We'll definitely have to drop your stirrups for me though..not sure I want to hop on a horse that hasn't been ridden for awhile with too short stirrups, haha. I did like her canter aside from her head..but I've fixed it plenty times before, so I'm not too worried about it being much of an issue..I'm hoping she's balanced enough for the indoor though.. xD |

Get the runway look via accessories
It can't be helped: After weeks of top designer runway previews of spring styles at marathon fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris, the eye started to wander and it caught the newest trends for handbags and shoes. For some shoppers, accessories are at the forefront of the catwalk news they're waiting for.
Accessories tend to be more widely available and affordable — although that's a relative term — and, more often than not, they fit.
And there's probably a handbag with a structured shape or a snakeskin shoe on the market already, so early adopters can look way ahead of the curve if they're paying attention.
"Accessories aren't as big of a commitment as apparel," says Tracey Lomrantz Lester, women's editorial director at Gilt. "You invest less from both a financial perspective and a sartorial one. The idea of trying a new style of boot or a different handbag is less intimidating than readjusting your eye to an entirely new silhouette. You can always just take if off if you feel silly."
Whitney Kessler, accessories editor of trend analysis firm Stylesight, says there are plenty of choices during this particular season, but few will serve as the all-purpose bag, shoe or piece of statement jewelry. "There aren't a lot of everyday bags and items, which is exciting for people who are really into fashion," she says, "but if you are shopping designer collections, you'll need to buy more to satisfy your needs."
She adds: "But they'll all look really good."
Some options:
Boxy bags: The slouchy silhouette is on its way out, to be replaced by a stronger, smaller, more structured bag, predicts Leah Karp, accessories director at InStyle magazine. She thinks the shape to buy it in will be a cross-body bag. Consider one that features colorblocking but is otherwise clean-looking, with geometric, sophisticated hardware.
Erica Russo, fashion director for women's accessories at Bloomindale's, says a hand-held clutch or a larger envelope will work, too.
Time to shine: Metallics always have some presence on the catwalks, and they translate well to closets because they have timeless appeal, says Karp. "I have a silver bag I've had for 10 years. It's an old Celine bag that I can bring out time and time again — totally worth an investment."
Because she already bought silver sandals this year, she'll be looking at gold shoes next year. You really need a pair of each, she says.
Snake surfaces: "Texture is more important than print," declares Kessler. And there's no more sophisticated way to do that than with snakeskin in luxe shades, such as burgundy, navy and dark green. Real or faux: your choice — and your budget.
Karp says snakeskin in a pointy pump is the way to go.
Play with pearls: "I love the idea that pearls are not your grandma's pearls," says Karp. And she loves that Nicholas Kirkwood sandwiched pearls between layers of some pumps' soles. A look like that can certainly come out sooner rather than later — and definitely for holiday parties. Try multiple strands and oversized beads.
Not-so-blank canvas: Artistry details replaced more obvious bling and chunky hardware. The Chanel show, with its art-gallery theme, was the standard bearer, according to Karp. The canvas versions of the house's classic bags — with spray-on "quilting" — were a "cool way to reinvent a classic."
Kessler also noted the use of laser-cut leathers and weaving techniques to further explore artistry.
Backpacks: Bloomingdale's Russo thinks the right woman will pull off a smart backpack in style and says she is excited about the look — which seems very new. "It's so beyond back-to- school," she says.
InStyle's Karp, however, isn't buying into them at a high price. It's one of those items that a more mass retailer can do perfectly well, she says.
Flat-out athletics: Sporty influences were among the season's biggest trends, in clothes as well as accessories. It's perfectly reasonable that you'll be wearing "a low-soled trainer" — think Nike Air or New Balance — in a trend-right color like coral with one of those pretty makeup-shade feminine dresses or even leather pants, Russo says.
Gilt's Lester observed a "noticeable shift" toward the street — and that might be where the sporty styles came from. "Loafers, sneakers, even Teva-esque sandals were everywhere in place of high heels. Visors and baseball caps have never been bigger, and the oversize clutch — the accessory of choice for street-style stars — is the new It bag."

CNef 3515 Comfort NoFrost Fridge freezer with NoFrost
Energy efficiency class | A++ |
Cooling technology | NoFrost |
Exterior dimensions (H/W/D) | 181.7 / 60.0 / 62.5 cm |
Net capacity, total | 308 l |
Liebherr's NoFrost appliances provide expert refrigeration technology to ensure long-term freshness. The food is frozen with chilled recirculating air, and any humidity is expelled. As a result, the freezer is always free of ice, and food no longer frosts over. NoFrost convenience makes defrosting a thing of the past.
Accurate and independent temperature control of the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment of combined fridge-freezers is achieved through DuoCooling with two completely separate cooling circuits. And there is no air exchange between the refrigerator and freezer compartment. This prevents odour transfer and stops the stored food from drying out.
Nearly all the stainless steel doors come with a SmartSteel surface. SmartSteel significantly reduces the visibility of finger marks. Thanks to the high-quality finish of the stainless steel, the surface is very easy to clean and is also far more scratch-resistant.
All freezers with NoFrost and SmartFrost feature drawers and intermediate glass shelves underneath them which can be conveniently removed.This results in VarioSpace – the practical system for extra storage space so that space can be created quickly even for larger frozen food items.
Liebherr appliances labelled with a "SmartDevice" logo can be networked to the SmartDeviceBox, which allows the appliance to access further services and be controlled remotely from a computer or mobile device. The SmartDeviceBox is available as an accessory. However, appliances with the letter i in their model name (for example: Kbi 4350) already have the SmartDeviceBox integrated as standard.

Professor and film director to give talks on Islamic exile, art April 19, 20 (video)
James Le Sueur, associate professor of history at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and director of the documentary "Exile and the Fatwa," will present a lecture about the film at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 19, in Room 315 Phillips Hall.
A fatwa is a religious judgment in the Islamic world and, in the case of Le Sueur's talk, it takes the form of a death threat or a curse demanding that someone be killed. Based on personal interviews with artists in exile, the film is the first in a series and focuses on the relationship of exile to the artistic, cultural and literary critiques of political and radical Islam.
Le Sueur will give a second talk titled "Paris, Exile, and Art: Imagining Resistance and Living the Politics of Contemporary Diasporic Literature" at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, in the University Capitol Centre Room 1117 (International Commons).
Le Sueur's next book is about writers from Muslim-majority countries and their struggles with radical Islamists, and this talk will focus on this topic.
The European Studies Group, the UI history and political science departments and International Programs are sponsoring these events.
Here is a recording of James Le Sueur's lecture from April 20:

The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has arrived in Egypt on a landmark visit, leaving behind open political warfare in Iran that has resulted in the arrest of Tehran's former chief prosecutor.
Mr Ahmadinejad was welcomed by the Egyptian President, Mohamed Morsi, during the first visit to Egypt by an Iranian leader since Tehran's 1979 revolution. But officials played down expectations of an imminent restoration of diplomatic ties between the Shia and Sunni nations. The two leaders' 20-minute conversation focused on the Syrian civil war, in which they back opposing sides.
Visiting Cairo to attend an Islamic summit that begins on Wednesday, Mr Ahmadinejad told a news conference he hoped his trip would be "a new starting point in relations between us". But the most prominent cleric in Egypt, Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb at al-Azhar University, said after meeting Mr Ahmadinejad that Iran should not assist attempts to topple the Sunni royal family in Bahrain.
Tonight, a man was being held after he attempted to throw a shoe at Mr Ahmadinejad outside the Al-Hussein mosque in Cairo. Turkey's Anatolia news agency published a video of the incident which showed the young man shouting and attempting to hit the President's head with what appeared to be a brown loafer.
Mr Ahmadinejad's visit removes him briefly from the turmoil of Iranian politics, which erupted on Sunday after the President accused one of his conservative rivals of corruption. Mr Ahmadinejad told parliament that he had a video of the speaker Ali Larijani's brother attempting to bribe the former prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi over a business deal involving the speaker. But when challenged to play it, the sound was of such poor quality that Mr Ahmadinejad was forced to provide a running commentary, depriving the tape of much of its impact.
Mr Mortazavi, an Ahmadinejad ally, was arrested on Monday night. "[Iran's] political elite is now embroiled in open infighting," said Ali Ansari, a professor of Iranian history at St Andrews University. "The big question now is whether Khamenei is losing control," he said, referring to Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Ali Larijani, who ran for president in 2005, and Mr Ahmadinejad have long been rivals. It was not clear whether the former prosecutor – who was suspended from that post over the deaths of three anti-government protesters in 2009 – had been arrested in connection with the 2009 deaths or on corruption charges. But Mr Ansari said that Mr Ahmadinejad "will go down fighting. And he could take a lot of people with him." Although the President is barred from running for a third term in elections next June, political manoeuvring is already under way and Mr Larijani is expected to be a candidate. It is not yet clear, however, who will be supported by the spiritual leader.
According to Mr Ansari, "people are looking for a scapegoat. But it's not clear that Ahmadinejad is the only one."
Reserve funds fall to $13.6bn
Egypt's foreign currency reserves fell 10 per cent to $13.61bn (£8.5bn) in January, down $1.4bn in a single month.
The central bank had already warned late last year that levels hovering around $15bn represented a "critical minimum," or just enough to cover three months' worth of imports. The drop hampers Egypt's ability to implement the austerity measures it needs to qualify for a $4.8bn IMF loan.
The central bank has been using foreign reserves to prop up the Egyptian pound at a level many experts saw as overvalued. AP

UW student warmly recalled
He was killed in Hong Kong by drunken driver
A University of Wisconsin-Madison student killed by a drunken driver in Hong Kong was remembered Monday as an adventurous guy who worked as a volunteer at a Milwaukee soup kitchen.
Kurt Leswing, 21, of Milwaukee was traveling in the Semester at Sea program, which sends students on a 15-week voyage around the world. The senior business major was killed Friday. The driver was arrested.
Steve Schroeder, assistant dean of the School of Business undergraduate program, met with Leswing last spring and was impressed with his résumé.
"He was really an extraordinary guy," Schroeder said Monday. "He was very bright. When I got the news and reflected back today on the conversation Kurt and I had, he was very compassionate - somebody who really wanted to make a difference."
Schroeder said Leswing played soccer at Shorewood High School, was involved in his church and participated in a Habitat for Humanity-type program in Kentucky working with preschool children and helping build homes. He played intramural soccer at UW-Madison and was active in Wisconsin Hoofers Ski and Snowboard Club, a campus outdoor recreation group.
Leswing's family declined to comment.
UW-Madison officials learned of his death through an e-mail late last week.
"It's a tremendous loss," said John Lucas, a UW-Madison spokesman. "We're really saddened."
Leswing left UW-Madison this semester to participate in the shipboard learning program and planned to graduate in December 2009, Schroeder said.
"I think a lot of what he wanted to do was to see the world, which obviously he was doing," Schroeder said. "Not unlike a lot of people his age, he was trying to figure out what he wanted to do and how to make a difference. There was a real sense of giving back with him and wanting to be part of a community and sharing his talents with other people."
The U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and the Institute for Shipboard Education are investigating the death.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.Advertisement

Oh the music is great actually! It's music that you can either strum along with or pick up on the guitar riffs rather quickly...especially Basara and Mylene's "Holy Lonely Night"...awesome song! And you can't diss Emilia's "Heart and Soul" that is just the epitome of "Emilia Greatness" along with her "Flash in the Dark." (Only found in the Macross 7 movie) Took me a year and a half to learn to sing Heart and Soul LOL. True most of the episodes are a bit cheesy but it really picks up. --Lone Wolf 一匹狼 |

Yeah well Millia said that to Basara trying to set him up with Mylene, being a mom that intefered too much with her daughters affairs no wonder they left the house. Two becoming rockstars. Lol at Flower girl at the time of their conversation figeting about the proposed marriage. Gamlin was like... Aww hell weren't you setting me up with your underage daughter before? What a bridge officer? She looks like a loli. I'm not Hikaru Ichigyo who juggles between a bridge officer and a pop idol. Besides I saw this girl once with my squad captain! Too bad the VFX pilot doesn't have a name. From there we can make a fictional love triangle with Miho Miho and Aoi Tsuwabuki. |

Rogue Zentradi kidnap a group of idol singers. Your mission is to rescue these girls and have them perform a Minmay Attack. Miho Miho is a bridge officer of the steath carrier Valhalla II. Milky Dolls song Only You. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaEw5...eature=related You can hear Miho Miho say Uta energy (Song energy). Are those shoulder pads portable song energy converters? Here's another version where the Boss Zentradi got killed DYRL Gorg Bodolzaa style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmgdaSXfp70 Protoculture! Though if the pilot had a name I'd like to imagine a love triangle between him, Miho Miho and Aoi Tsuwabuki. The rest of the Milky Dolls and bridge bunnies joining in would make a harem though. Better keep it at the basics. |

Why is Macross 7 hated?
Why is Macross 7 hated?
I started watching the first 2 episodes, and found that the premise is much more interesting then Macross F. "The main character is a 21 year old rock band member who sings while piloting his mecha successfully. Who is actually doing it because he wants everyone to see how awesome he is, while fighting other giant robots." While in Macross F "We have your typical angst teenager, who hates his dad, and rushes off the become a pilot, because he wants to protect a girl he just met from the aliens in star shiptroopers" "I am only comparing premises, not the overall plots of series both shows." To me the former sounds a lot more interesting then the latter. However, I haven't watched Macross 7 aside from the first 2 episodes, so the rest of the series could be extremely boring for all I know. So why is it hated? Was it boring, was it silly? Is it actually loved by all, and the sites I visited where just a vocal Minority? I would assume Macross 7 was actually liked since it apparently made a several spin offs relating specifically to it. |

I was trying to make a description it in one sentence, of course it sounds "shallow". Anything sounds shallow when you try to describe it in one sentence. I didn't want to make a several paragraph long post about Macross F. I also couldn't make a long description about Macross 7, with only seeing two episodes unless I made an entire summary of both episodes. Also, you didn't answer my question. Also note when I said "I am only comparing premises, not the overall plots of series both shows." "The premise of a film or screenplay is the fundamental concept that drives the plot." Not a summary of the series. Last edited by Lockgar; 2008-10-06 at 09:42. |

It's not that it's hated. The series lack many things. It's a good overall series but it's not something Macross world can be proud of. There is little to no character development. The pacing of the series is horrid, you can fall asleep and wake up a few episodes later and you still know what's going on. Presentation of the plot is nowhere near as good as in other series.

Anderson Cooper suffered an accident on a "60 Minutes" shoot in Portugal, causing the newsman to go blind for 36 hours.
Cooper tweeted a photo of himself with a gauze eye patch over his right eye. He wrote, "Temporarily blinded last week while on assignment. UV light bouncing off water."
People reports Anderson explained the injury on "Anderson Cooper Live."
"I wake up in the middle of the night and it feels like my eyes are on fire," says Cooper. "It turns out I have sunburned my eyeballs and I go blind. I went blind for 36 hours. I took this picture of me after I went to the hospital."
Anderson told the audience jokingly, "That's my new Match.com profile picture, by the way."

Thanks! I've also been experimenting a little with tips, but really, I need to wait for the SB's to fully run in first.
As for the selecting the SB's over the SS, I'm glad I had a second chance to audition them - on my first trip to Akihabara, I was seduced by the more forward mid and upper-bass of the SS and would probably have bought them. However there was something about the SS vs SB nagging me at the back of my mind. But since I was already a bit disoriented with listening so many different earphones that day (SC, SS, SB, e-Q7, Fx-700, CK100, IE7, IE8, Monster etc) and since I also knew that I would be coming back in a couple of days, I didn't buy them that day. Then on my next trip I concentrated only on the e-Q7, SS & SB. Loved the e-Q7's but in the end, for me, it was no match for the FAD's. So then I spent the next 45mins listening only to the SS & SB and finally decided on the SB for the reasons mentioned in my earlier post. |
I'm glad I went with my gut. Had I done what you did and audition a lot of 'phones - my original intent - I would have had your problem.
How were the FX700s? They were not out when I was there. I wanted to try the Pioneers as well, but didn't get around to it.

Due to Disneys takeover of Marvel, a decision was made not to renew the licensing agreements for Marvel themed slot machines; therefore this slot is no longer available for play.How to play Fantastic Four
The Fantastic Four slot is an official collaboration between the comics creator, Marvel, and world renowned slots developer Cryptologic. It includes the ever popular Marvel jackpots, which offer three levels of progressive payout. The slot also packs in four awesome features and a dedicated jackpot of $25,000.
Using The Fantastic Four Slot Machine
The total bet is displayed in the bottom right, take note of this because you will be wagering this amount every time the reels are spun. It can be adjusted using the bet and lines buttons.
You choose from a variety of coin values which range from 0.05 to $5 which combined with the 1 to 25 paylines creates a bet range of 0.05 to $125 per spin. Use the free version above to practice playing and changing bets.
Automatic spins can be configured on the left, these can be set to a maximum of 99 spins and can be paused at anytime.
The Fantastic Four Slot Features Explained
This slot has five different wild symbols with each one allocated to one of the reels. These include Mr Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, The Thing and Dr Doom. These icons can substitute for every symbol except the scatter logo.
- The Fantastic Four bonus round begins once three or more scattered logo icons appear. You are asked to choose between 5 different game features, each of which offers a different experience:

- The Invisible Woman awards 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier, if her symbol appears you'll win more free spins.

Rating What I LOVE about this very sweet & amazingly transformative sound journey is that Richard Rudis is projecting the PHI Ratio & the Fibonacci Sequence through the Earth Gong while addressing each Chakra in turn bringing us back into harmony with Nature (fibonacci mathmatical sequence found in all living matter). The Earth Gong resonates at 136.1 Hertz which is the frequency of Joy & of our Earth so with the Gong, the mathmatical sequences & all the Sacred Geometry he projects through the Gong during this hour long experience is truly life changing on a Spiritual, Mental, Emotional & Physical level.
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Also a wonderful tool for clearing spaces at work & in the home if any funky energy creeps in from neighbors. Worth every penny!(Posted on 4/14/2015)
- Stunning sound voyage Review by sweetmusic
So many textures; this gong journey brings us out of body and into the cosmos. Best to listen with headphones to be totally immersed in the oh so many voices of this magnificient instrument skillfully played by a master.

Rating i listen on my computer or ipod, so don't know if the vibration would be enhanced with larger system. Even so, my body seems to resonate with the gong. for me it has provided a powerful background while doing yoga and napping. Tried it a few times for sleeping and it seemed like too much stuff got stirred up so that sleep was full of dreams.

Rating I would have been better off to go and sit somewhere and listen to heavy equipment operate for an hour. I'm very disappointed to say the least.

There are days of terrible tragedy like the kind we can never feel. The kind so great, so moving, the very notion of it sets our spirits ablaze with a passion both deep and unnerving.
Where thousands of people pick up their blades and stand beside their brothers in front of their beloved home's wall. As their home has taken care of them, this day they would lay their lives down for her. They see the enemy approaching fast, their souls ablaze as brightly as their own. Just as much as they wish to protect this land, they wish to bring ruin to it.
This day, as clouds block out the sun and the rain hides the tears of courage and fear mingled in one, they raised their shields and ran forward.
For this day, was a day of war!

The other day, the retail box for the ZTE Star 1 was snapped, showing off a rather nice logo design. And in one of the pictures, part of the box is off allowing us to grab a sneak peek at the thin bezels on the phone. Besides looking nice, the Star1 will employ ZTE's multi-band technology, which covers 13 bands such as TDD-LTE, FDD-LTE,TD-SCDMA,GSM, WCDMA. LTE bands covered will be TD-LTE 38/39/40 and FDD-LTE 7/3.
As soon as we hear more about this new model, we will pass it along to you!
