The continuing story about a boy becoming Mommy's lil bitch... There have been some people that have told me that the story is moving too slow, but I am really trying to set the scene, and create a good story, not just a whip it out anf fap fest story... granted, those parts are coming, but for now, the build up. Also, I am not sure why all of my quote marks keep getting wonky when I am posting it... I have tried multiple methods and still no luck.
I don't know how long I laid there in a puddle of my own making before my head stopped spinning. As my head cleared and I thought about what happened, I could feel my face start to burn with embarrassment, and a horror filled my stomach when I thought about someone knowing that I was wearing women's underwear… but at the same time, I began to feel that now familiar stirring in my dick as it started to stiffen up again.
I knew I had to get things cleaned up, so I stripped off all the clothes and headed for the laundry room. As I was grabbing the clothes to put in the washer, I felt the panties sort of squish in my hand. I looked at the amount of goo that was in them, and my breathing started to quicken again. I could not help myself and I stuffed the sodden crotch of the panties into my mouth and started sucking all of my juice off of them. I could taste myself and the flavor mom had left behind in them and was in heaven. I continued to suck on them as I loaded everything into the washing machine and it was with regret that I tossed them in at the very last.
I went about the house, tidying everything up, hoping that if I made the house cleaner, mommy wouldn't be angry at me anymore. When the clothes were done, I folded all of her clothes and laid them out on her bed, taking extra time with her panties and hanging her bras in the bathroom, and then I showered and went to bed. Utterly wrung out and my head still slightly spinning.
I don't know what time mommy came home, at some time in the night, I thought I heard noises and her talking to someone, but I was too far into sleep to know if it was real, or a dream. In the morning, I got up and got ready for school like usual, except mom didn't wake up and come out of her room before I had to leave. I was sorta disappointed as now that I was paying attention to things, I wanted to see mom jiggling around the house.
When I got to school, I saw Chantel, the sister of the pizza delivery girl, and the whole evening flooded back through my brain, making my cheeks flush as panic ran through my head, wondering if her sister had said anything. My embarrassment deepened as I felt my dick start to stiffen and my pants start to tent out a little bit. I quickly got to my desk and sat down to cover up what was happening, but Chantel saw me staring at her and she stared back for a moment with a perplexed look on her face before turning away, calling me a weirdo as she did.
My brain spun, did she call me weird because her sister said something, was it because I had been staring, had she seen my pants tent up? I had no idea, but it kept my brain spinning for the entire day until I got home.
When I got home, there was another note on the counter telling me that there was meatloaf in the fridge, and could I please do more than one load of laundry today and put the clothes away this time. I flushed a bit from the combination of feeling like I had let mom down, thinking about what had happened yesterday, and thinking about going back into mom's closet and playing around with her clothes.
When I went into mom's room, I saw that she hadn't put the clothes from yesterday away, so I decided to start with that. I started going through her dresser, finding where everything went. When I found her undies drawer, I was in heaven, all of the pretty colors in lace and satin. I started putting the clean ones away, and as I made room for them, I noticed a lacy item that I could tell was more than just panties. Pulling it out, it looked like a swimsuit made of lace. I knew that I had to try this on. I was a little confused as to why there were snaps in the crotch, but I got myself into it, and pulled the straps up over my shoulders. I loved how the lace teased my little nipples and the rubbed against my hardening dick. I went over in front of mom's dressing table mirror and looked at myself. I LOVED the way it looked. I danced around a little bit, watching my dick bounce through the lace and just laughed. I spotted some of mommy's make-up on the table and a sudden urge gripped me. I picked up the lipstick and put some on. The smell that it has filled my nostrils and seemed to go straight to me crotch as I felt myself swell a bit more. When I looked in the mirror, I looked a little silly, but I liked it. A lot. I spun around and started gathering mom's dirty clothes. I found a pair of panties by the bed, and thought that they might have been the ones she wore yesterday and I brought them up to my nose to inhale her scent. It was really strong in these panties, and a little different. It still smelled wonderful, and I stuck my tongue out to taste them. They sort of tasted like the ones that I had exploded into last night, and for a moment I was terrified that they were the ones from last night and that somehow I didn't get them into the wash, but I looked at them again and no, these were different ones. I just shrugged and kept sucking on them as I did the first load of laundry.
I didn't know why, but wandering around the house in mom's lacy swimsuit and wearing her lipstick while I did chores and my homework was just fun. It made me feel funny inside my core, but I really liked it. I did the rest of the laundry, a little sad to toss those tasty panties into the wash, but wash them I did. When it was time to put the clothes away, I decided to keep mom's swimsuit on. I thought that she wouldn't miss it for one night, so I finished my chores and slipped into bed, tucked away in lace and lipstick.
I got up the next morning and stuffed the swimsuit away in the back of my underwear drawer before getting into the shower. When I came out to get breakfast before school, mom was sitting at the table. She didn't say anything when I came into the kitchen, she just watched me with a pensive look on her face as she sipped her coffee. She was dressed in her robe which wasn't pulled tight and I was able to see a lot of her boobs, so I knew that she was probably not wearing anything else under it. Or maybe she had on some panties, giving them her sweet smell and taste… mmmmm
Oh no… I was starting to stiffen again. I could tell that my pants were tenting again but I couldn't do anything about it! I saw mom look right at my crotch and a little smirk crossed her face as I blushed and sat to eat my cereal. I tried to stare at my cereal as I ate, but I couldn't help but look at mom every now and then as I could feel her just staring at me. I would look up (often my eyes would linger at her tits) and when I would meet her eyes, my face would flush even more. One of the times that I was looking at her, I saw a shift in her face, like she had just made her mind up about something, then she sort of did a little nod to herself, looked at me and said –
I am going to go out Friday night to relax after this long week. See if you can stay at one of your friend's house that night please Vincent.
I just nodded, not trusting myself to speak. I finished my cereal, and trying to hide my tented pants, got up to head to school, but before I could get out the door, mom came up to me.
"what? No hug for your mommy?"
And she spread her arms out wide for a hug, which just caused her robe to open up further, exposing more of those big, heavy boobs, but before I could do anything, I was wrapped up in a hug, my face getting smothered by her boobs as she held me tight. I felt her leg rub up against my tented pants, my stiff dick twitching as she contacted it through my pants. I was actually starting to run out of air and I felt mom keep moving her leg against me, against my dick. It felt amazing and yet I was trying to move so I could get air and get away from her leg but she held me tighter, her leg still moving until all of a sudden, I shuddered and flooded my shorts!
Mom's grasp kept me from falling, and she moved so I could actually breathe, and when I looked up at her, she looked like nothing had happened. I moved to head back to my room so that I could change, but mom grabbed my shoulder and pushed me towards the door, saying I was running late, I needed to get going. I felt the goo rubbing all over my crotch and I knew I had to change, so I said that I needed the bathroom before going to school but mom just kept moving me towards the door… telling me I could go when I got to school, and then out the door I was pushed and the door closed behind me.
There I stood for a moment. My crotch getting cooler as my face kept getting hotter and my brain just kept on spinning. Working on autopilot, I just started moving towards school, thankful that my pants were dark and that no one could see what must be a growing wet spot on my pants.

Swedish director Jonas Akerlund, best known for his innovative videos for the likes of Prodigy ("Smack My Bitch Up"), Lady Gaga ("Telephone" and "Paparazzi") and Madonna ("Ray of Light") came to SXSW for the world premiere his third feature "Small Apartments."
In "Small Apartments," Los Angeles is a world full of bold colors and neons. And on its sexy outskirts lives Franklin Franklin ("Little Britain" actor Matt Lucas, best known in the states as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland"), a decidedly unsexy recluse who pines for his hospitalized brother (James Marsden) while he stays inside in his tightie wighties, blowing on his horn (just like the Ricola commercials) dreaming of a life in Sweden. Mostly due to his penchant for daily horn practice and his pervish spying, Franklin is despised by his neighbors (played by James Caan, Johnny Knoxville, and Juno Temple), from whom he must hide the fact that their landlord died while asking for Franklin's rent check.
Judging from my conversations with others after this screening, this film is not for everyone. But for those willing to be taken into a world — and a life — where nothing is to be expected, "Small Apartments" is an absolute treat.
Akerlund, surprisingly relaxed and comfortable with stark straight dyed-black hair, spoke to Indiewire about his latest earlier this week:
What was it about this story that made you realize you wanted to devote the time to making this film?
There's so many different reasons to do something and all it takes is just one reason to not do it. To be honest why this really ended up happening is that Ash [R. Shah] my producer really wanted to do it. I also knew that this script needed integrity, no compromises, basically creative freedom. If there is such a thing in Hollywood, this is the closest you can get. The producer, he is that kind of producer, I knew that he was going to give me that. In all honesty, as much as I loved the script since day one.
I'm pretty spoiled. I work a lot. I go from project to project. For me, to take a bigger project on like this, I had to be 100% sure. Once we got started, I gave the script to Matt, that was the second reason there was no looking back. There was no turning back once I had Matt. Knowing that I had Matt and Ash and this great script, it was a no-brainer. The truth is that Matt and Ash are the real reason. I have a pile of scripts at home that I love. Some of them are hard to get made. We have to give up stuff. It's hard to get movies made.
I would imagine for you it's especially hard to give up the time because you're so prolific. Was it difficult to devote time to a feature?
I also told Ash I'm not going to stop working on other things. Listen to this figure: Last year, I did 34 commercials, 5 music videos, and "Small Apartments." Usually, that's not how you do a movie. You stop and you focus on everything. My last movie, I spent a good year and a half on. The documentary I made with Madonna lasted only two years. "Spun" was different. I don't even remember that time, it was so weird. With this one, I said to him, I'm going to make it very spontaneous. I'm going to keep the same crew I use for all of my other things and keep working, so that's what I did.
Do you think it's too difficult for directors to make the things they want to make, with as much creative control as possible?
Maybe I said it wrong, because I don't mean to say that everything I do needs to be like that. Every job is so unique and so different. I was just saying that for this script, I could not see how this movie would be better if a studio took it on and added two zeros to the budget. I have no idea what would make this movie better. That's why I was very determined that this needs to be done this way. In my point of view, it was a job worth losing if compromised.
There are other jobs where there's way more of a dialogue. I'm a commercial director; I do some very very commercial stuff in the commercial world. My music videos are always analyzed. I need to think about what the audience is going to think. When you get onto these types of jobs, there's a little more of an ego trip than I'm used to. I never get to think about myself when I do films. I started in advertising, so I always have to think about what my client and my audience things. If a film doesn't work, it's a big failure. When you do these kinds of movies, it becomes more of a personal journey, and you become more personally attached to it.
So how long was the shoot?
We were in pre-production for awhile while I was shooting commercials. I also had the chance to ask my crew to help me out. I said, I'm booking you on all these commercials, can you help me out? Right after, I booked more commercial.
This way, I got a really good crew, that on smaller movies you usually wouldn't get. That's another reason working in Los Angeles is great. Once we were ready, we did pre-production for two or three weeks. Then the shoot was 20 days.
Everything you do has a stark attention to detail. What was it like creating this world?
It was a bunch of things. Number one, I had ideas of how the characters were going to be and how they were going to look. I had role models for all my actors. In my head and in the preperation for the script, I had it all planned out. In the book and in the original script, the mood is very different. It's cold and he's in a different city, and it's very very different.
We decided to scout for locations downtown, everywhere, before we found this apartment, that gave such a big part of the film's look. it's gone now. It's weird because LA is filled with these areas that are just abandoned. We could cut through walls and do whatever we want. We shot basically the whole movie there. We only went away for a bookstore, bowling alley, and an airplane set.
We were scouting and scouting and finally figured out in my head that Franklin's apartment is here, Allspice's [James Caan's character] place is here, Tommy Balls [Johnny Knoxville] is here… I was standing with my scout, we needed a swamp for the car scene. I was pointing at the end of the parking lot and I said to him, "This is so great. I bet there's a swamp there." And we walked over, and the water and everything was there. We didn't need to do anything to it. It was awesome.
You talked a little about how important attaching Matt was for you, but do you want to talk a little more about casting?
I had in my head my dream list of people. The way you approach this kind of thing is you shoot in LA and you hope for availability. You wait for the very last minute. The casting director on the job, she told me not to worry too much. We had to wait til the very last minute. I did have Johnny, I had Matt, and I had James Cann. So I was good. In terms of posters, we were good. I wanted everybody to be strong character actors in this movie. It was part of what I wanted. I met Billy [Crystal] and Billy said yes right away.
And some other actors changed at the very last minute. Two of the actors in the movie were basically cast the day before. It's just the nature of these kinds of movies. I wasn't really stressing about it. It's way easier to get someone to roll down the hill for a favor or for the afternoon, for them to be a part of something that might be cool (and might not…it doesn't really matter). It's just like it's cool, let's do it. It was that kind of attitude.
Is 2012 shaping up to be just as busy for you?
I'm slowly getting more and more focused on making movies, to be honest. The truth is, one of the personal reasons I made "Small Apartments" was to test myself. It sounds a little weird, because I have all of these opportunities and I'm constantly in production. I work in so many different countries and with so many different clients, I really have to decide on my focus. After "Small Apartments," I know what I'm focusing on now. I'm reading — scripts and in general — a lot more. I'm having meetings a lot more.

I previously made these sweet dinner rolls using this tangzhong milk bead recipe found here.
The bread was a success and everyone loved it. I made some again recently, but I made it into one single loaf instead into smaller rolls. The bigger loaf pieces were even fluffier and softer than the small rolls. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
I love how shiny the outside of the bread is. It's perfect for breakfast, a snack, or really any time of the day.
I am submitting this post to Yeastspotting.
Milk Bread (adapted from here)
2½ cups bread flour
3tbsp+2tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
½ cup milk
120g tangzhong (use this recipe here for the tangzhong and used about 1/2)
2 tsp instant yeast
3 tbsp butter (cut into small pieces, softened at room temperature)
5. Roll out each part with a rolling pin into an oval shape. Take one end of the dough and fold to meet the middle of the oval. Take the other end and fold to meet on top. Turn the dough over, so that the folds face down and roll and flatten dough with pin. Flip dough again, so folded side faces up. Roll the dough up from top to bottom. Repeat this step of rolling for the rest of your dough. Place each roll into a 9 x 5 loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Then cover with cling wrap or a wet towel. Leave it for the second round of proofing, about 45 to 60 minutes, until double in size.

See Me Naked
See Me Naked
By Amy Frykholm
Beacon Press (MA), Paperback, 9780807004685, 184pp.
Publication Date: November 13, 2012
"A fascinating, troubling, and finally heartening book that subtly shows ways that Christians might reconcile their bodies with their devotion to God. Highly recommended for individual Christians but also for pastors and church groups."—Library Journal, starred review
Stories of sexual scandals in churches throughout the nation have been downright routine in recent years, suggesting to many Americans that a deeply rooted problem plagues American Christianity—and prompting some to abandon their congregations altogether. In See Me Naked, Amy Frykholm takes us beyond simple indictments of, or blind allegiance to, Christian cultures to explore the complex, intimate intersection of sexuality and spirituality as it affects the lives of ordinary Christians.
Recounting with care and nuance the life histories of nine American Protestants, Frykholm shows us the harm done by the rules-based sexual ethic now dominant, which alternately denies and romanticizes sexuality. But she also points to how American Christians might otherwise access their spiritual tradition to heal the divide between religion and sexuality. One story examines the intricate relationship between a man's religious faith and his sexual addiction. In another, a man defines religion as a wall that kept him from the discovery that he was gay. One young woman uses sex to defy her devout parents, while another seeks to transcend her body by going without food. Nearly everyone interviewed in See Me Naked remains a Christian, with some further on their journey than others. Yet each of them is working to understand the connection between their desires and their faith. Ultimately, their stories—stories of pain and violence, perseverance and courage—attest to the healing power of struggling through the wild and uncertain experiences of life.
See Me Naked explores the many ways that people work to recover from harmful beliefs and restores the notion that one of the key insights of Christianity is that the body, with all its struggles, pains, and difficulties, is a vehicle of the holy and can lead us into a more full relationship with God.
"An essential book [that] will perhaps begin the national conversation that we deserve."—Paul Landerman, Edge
"Frykholm and the brave souls she interviews will challenge your understanding of grace."—David K. Wheeler, Burnside Writers Collective
"The most redemptive book I've ever read."—Dave, Elliot Bay Bookstore
"A culturally significant collection that explores the challenges of reconciling pleasure with piety."—Kirkus
"A Christian herself, Frykholm does not offer this book as a means to discourage people from the religion. Rather, she holds up these wounded but not lost souls to critique dogmatic practices that, in disdaining the body, disdain the spirit."—Crystal K. Wiebe, Bitch
"A fascinating, troubling, and finally heartening book that subtly shows ways that Christians might reconcile their bodies with their devotion to God. Highly recommended for individual Christians but also for pastors and church groups."—Library Journal, starred review
"Amy Frykholm has gathered the intimate stories of people of faith in search of wholeness. These tender tales both challenge and encourage the church to listen to voices it might not hear otherwise. When it comes to integrating mind, body and spirit, the Church can serve as curse or blessing. These searingly honest stories compel us to strive for the latter."—The Rev. Lillian Daniel, author of Tell it Like it is: Recovering the Practice of Testimony
"This is a compelling book that traverses the teeming intersection of sexuality and faith in the life of nine individuals. They are stories of very ordinary people's struggles to live as whole beings. Their stories are rendered with such compassion and insight, however, that the result is anything but ordinary. The reader is left with the conviction that the church must, and the hope that it will, minister to people in the fullness of their lives."—The Rev. Martin B. Copenhaver, author of To Begin at the Beginning
"American Christianity is facing a crisis: our easy answers about life after death have left so many with little hope for life in their bodies here and now. Amy Frykholm chronicles this crisis in real time, inviting us to experience the pain of sisters and brothers living in exile from their flesh. But she also proclaims a gentle word of hope: 'look again at our tradition,' she seems to whisper. 'Christ is risen in a body with feet that touch the ground."–Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, author of The Wisdom of Stability: Rooting Faith in a Mobile Culture
"With singular gentleness and a palpable respect for those whose stories she is telling, Amy Frykholm lays bare whole areas of human sexual formation that I had never seen before, much less considered….This is an important book."—Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence: How Christianity Is Changing and Why
"These disarmingly honest life stories of people navigating the 'tenacious strangeness' of their sexual and spiritual lives will stay with you long after you finish this book. So will the gracious, honoring, and insightful ways Frykholm tells and interprets them. It should be on every Protestant pastor's coffee table."—Timothy Beal, author of The Rise and Fall of the Bible: The Unexpected History of an Accidental Book

Of the 1,212 voters, 848 (70%) indicated they do not clip their horses' whiskers.

In last week's poll, we asked readers if they clip their horses' whiskers. More than 1,200 readers responded, and we've tallied the results.
Of the 1,212 voters, 848 (70%) indicated they do not clip their horses' whiskers. The remaining 364 readers (30%) said they do clip their horses' whiskers.
Additionally, more than 200 readers provided comments about clipping whiskers.
Many readers provided comments about why they do not clip their horses' whiskers:
- "Absolutely not—they are there for a reason and I don't want to rob my horse of that sensory function."
- "I haven't clipped them in over 15 years, and I love his long nose and eye whiskers!"
- "Horses need these for use in detecting their environment. I can't stand it when owners shave them!"
- "They're probably there for a reason, like detecting foreign objects while grazing."
- "I don't show my horses and whiskers help with their natural ability to sense objects."
- "No, even though I compete in dressage; they're there for a reason, and she's on 24/7 pasture."
- "Absolutely not. Not the ear hair either. They need these feelers to navigate their world."
- "They weren't meant to be trimmed anymore then a cat's whiskers."
- "My new guy is very sensitive around his nose and objects to the very concept of whisker trimming!"
- "My horses need their whiskers and they are cute."
- "I like them fuzzy! When you clip, they become rough and annoying."
Poll Results
Of the 1,212 voters, the majority (848) responded no, that they did not clip their horse's whiskers.
Others commented that they clip their horses' whiskers for shows or sales:
- "For showing only. When a horse is no longer showing or is in an off season, whiskers stay."
- "Only clipped when showed in halter or pleasure"
- "We show in halter and showmanship—it's a must"
- "Yes, but only during the summer show season."
- "Only our show horses, not our trail horses."
- "In the summer for showing classes or if we take a horse to the sales. Otherwise we leave them alone."
- "Only for rated competition showmanship classes."
- "When I show only, the rest of the time they go au naturale."
- "I do right before shows, but let them grow over the winter."
- "Always did for show, continue to do it now but less frequently in winter."
Some readers commented that they clip the whiskers for maintenance-related reasons:
- "(I don't clip them) unless they get crazy-long, then just a little trim. They need them."
- "I don't shave them; however, during show season, I will clip them down to about two inches."
- "No, but I'd trim them to an inch when they get too long because the long whiskers would get caught in the bridle."
- "I do this so that the reins on the liverpool shank driving bit don't catch his lip whiskers."
- "But trim with scissors when they get super long (they get bothersome to one of my horses)."
Still others provided additional comments on why they clip their horses' whiskers:
- "I keep all my horses clipped and neat even if we are older now and past our showing life."
- "Yes, but I leave a 1/4 to 1/2 inch so he can still feel things in buckets."
- "They look better groomed when clipped/shaved."
- "Around muzzle and nostrils, but not around eyes."
- "He's more accepting of the clippers on his muzzle, so we always start there and shorten them a bit."
- "I clip them down to at least 1/2 inch long."
- "They look better clipped."
- "I clip whiskers one time a year."
- "(I believe) whiskers serve no purpose for domesticated horses. I keep even my retired guys trimmed and groomed."
- "Once in a while when I want him or her to look sharp. I like their ears fuzzy though."
- "About three times a year (I clip the) muzzle, fetlocks, ears, chin, coronet bands. He looks gorgeous after!"

01-21-2011, 10:35 PMThe new black hole will be too far away to 'suck in' mother earth.
Most of The ejecta will form a massive,expanding, cloud of glowing gasses and ejected debris around the new Neutron star or most likely, black hole .Short and long wave radiation along with ejecta in the form of light and much later debris comets to pour out over the earth and surrounding planets.
Some of the"accretion" ring will remain in orbit about the new black hole while the Supernova shock wave and outer debris filed propagates through the adjacent Hydrogen gas clouds compressing the hydrogen into new prototype stars and the debris 'seeds' the new star with the heavier elements made in the supernova's 'poisoned' core .Each Supernova produces new strings of binary stars, usually in a straight line !
Iron 'Poisons' the Stellar Fusion Reaction.
Iron is the last element that is created in stellar fusion. It is a sign that the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel, and without the constant activity of fusion to provide a force acting against gravity, implosion occurs.Thus Supernova, the Stellar death-knell.
Iron cannot fuse without a net input of energy. Up until iron there is a net release of energy by fusion that helps counteract the weight of the star's gasses pushing inward. Once iron forms it just starts to build up in the center of the star, with all the fusion taking place in the layers just above it. Eventually, the iron core becomes so massive that its own atomic bounds can no longer support the weight. It suddenly collapses into a much denser and smaller ball of matter.
This leaves a hollow for the upper layers to fall into. This sudden in fall is energetic enough when it hits the new smaller core,collapsing it, to cause all the remaining star to undergo fusion at once, causing the supernova.Last edited by megimoo; 01-21-2011 at 10:38 PM.
Quick, everyone more to Florida!!! It'll solve the housing collapse here. :p:D
Of course, the state would probably sink.May the FORCE be with you!

01-21-2011, 11:05 PMTry all life in North America and most of Canada !The footprint of an eruption of that magnitude is enormous.The Super Volcano's magma chamber alone is wide enough to cover the Oregon-Idaho-Nevada border region and is over four hundred ten miles deep .
"Our scenario would affect an area 10 million times greater than 9/11 did. Fema were extremely interested in working with us to come up with a theoretical plan as to how they might deal with it. They gave us data on how many people would be affected by the eruption in the US."
Satellite images show that the mouth or caldera of the Yellowstone Super Volcano is 85km (53 miles) long and 45km (28 miles) wide - which amounts to an area big enough to swallow Tokyo, the largest city in the world.
Five miles underneath the surface of Yellowstone sits the volcanic chamber itself which is estimated to hold 25,000 cubic kilometres of molten rock or magma. Seismologists and vulcanologists working for the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory routinely monitor the regular swellings and subsidences of the land as it responds to shifting underground lake of molten rock below.

Big K.R.I.T. ft. Future - Just Last Week
By richard | 3 years ago
Big K.R.I.T.
Track: Just Last Week
Producer: Big K.R.I.T.
King Remembered In Time
A heavyweight rapper's work is never done. Take Big K.R.I.T., for example; Just Last Week, the Def Jam signee had to ball on some sucker emcees, and it's already time for him to school 'em again. Luckily, he's on his game today. Over his own beat, a street-ready arrangement driven by swirling synths and bass-booming percussion, the Mississippi mic-murderer annihilates pretenders to the throne in fast-paced, braggadocious verses. A natural fit for the minimalistic instrumental, Future lends his Autotuned vocals to the hook. This joint isn't attached to any larger forthcoming project but a snippet can be found on K.R.I.T.'s latest digital album, King Remembered In Time.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In all this recent discussion between , investors and fans in the wake of their lackluster performance over the past year, one bit of information seems to have gotten lost. Nintendo all but confirmed that they will indeed be making a new console in the future, one fashioned after learning from the mistakes of the Wii U.
Here's president Satoru Iwata on an investor call last week discussing how he wants to shorten launch time of new games:
"If the transition of software from platform to platform can be made simpler, this will help solve the problem of game shortages in the launch periods of new platforms.... While we are only going to be able to start this with the next system, it will become important for us to accurately take advantage of what we have done with the Wii U architecture."
This is rather noteworthy because since the video game landscape is changing at such a rapid pace, it's not exactly a sure thing that there will even be a next console generation after this one. Given how long lifecycles are for consoles now, and the fact that we've just started this one, the landscape could be very, very different once we reach the end of the rabbit hole in six, eight or ten years from now.
But Nintendo is saying that yes, they will definitely be making new hardware, even in the face of this uncertainty. If that's the case, the question is when?
Erik Kain previously posited that Nintendo should come out with a "Super Wii" console in a few years to rival Xbox One and PS4 in terms of power. While I liked the idea, I was skeptical about that "few years" timeframe. But is it possible? Here's the past timetable of Nintendo's home console launches:
Gamecube - 2001
Wii - 2006
Wii U - 2012
So the bare minimum time window between console launches is five years, with some being around six. Even as technology has evolved over the years, development time of Nintendo consoles has mostly remained the same.
The Fight For The Future Of Video Games is a warts-and-all look at the clashes between the video game business and its passionate fans.
While Microsoft and Sony are predicting about eight to ten year lifespans for their own systems, if Nintendo were to release a new system, it could be here as soon as 2017, or possibly 2018. I suppose then, that would indeed be equivalent to Erik's "few years." Three or four, actually.
If Nintendo were to debut a console as powerful as the One and PS4 in essentially the middle of the generation, they couldn't afford to miss a step. They could not have a launch year like the one the Wii U just had, where they had almost no games out for the system. But still, even though the One and PS4 premiered with barely any amazing games, they've been selling incredibly well on the promise of good games. And by 2017-2018, they'd been fully developed systems with loads of great titles for each, more than likely. But according to this timetable, the Wii U's lifespan would be winding down (though that would require "winding up," which hasn't really happened yet)
If we do continue with this continuous cycle of console generations, Nintendo will always be playing catch-up from a power perspective. By 2017, Xbox One and PS4 games will look far better than they do now, and even if the "Super Wii" is a good piece of hardware, it will likely still be behind its competition. Nintendo rarely has the most powerful console of its generation and even when it does, it's no indicator of success (see the Gamecube).
Rather, Nintendo would need to focus on more than just power alone. If the system is powerful enough to run current 3rd party releases somewhat on part with the One and PS4, that will be a great start, and really, all that should be required of the system. I've always said a console that can run every great third party game combined with Nintendo's own incredible first party line-up would be a must have. The problem for the last two generations has been that though the Wii and Wii U landed a few 3rd party games at the beginning of their lifecycles, they're ultimately abandoned as such games evolve beyond their power capabilities.
Obviously marketing would be a huge factor in determining the success of the next Nintendo console, as it has certainly been instrumental in the Wii U's failure so far. Though I like Erik's "Super Wii," I may consider ditching the "Wii" name altogether at that point. The association in 2017 wouldn't be with Nintendo's massive selling Wii console, it would be with the lackluster Wii U. It may be time to move on from the name.
But I do like the idea of a new console releasing in 2017 or 2018. It's late enough for consumers to possibly be getting bored with their current systems, and early enough where Sony and Microsoft probably wouldn't be releasing their own system the following year. 2017 in particular sounds like a very good window, if they can manage it, that is.
When do you think the next Nintendo console will come out?

Last summer, Google announced a loan program for its backpack-like Street View Trekker cameras for organizations that want to help the company create imagery of interesting places. On Thursday, it launched the first collection of these images in cooperation with the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB). This is probably the ideal collection for all of us who are stuck with rain and snow right now. Google Trends says search interest in "Hawaii" has risen 78 percent in the last 30 days, which is probably a function of the weather in the lower 48. The new collection features lots of Hawaiian beaches, trails and other sights. When Google announced the Trekker loan program, it already said its first partner would be HVCB. At the time, the plan was to collect imagery from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Loa Observatory, Onomea Bay, Akaka Falls, Waipio Valley and the Pololu Valley.

Roald Dahl was a Welsh novelist, short story writer and screenwriter, who rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.
His most popular books include The Twits, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The Witches and The BFG.
More on Wikipedia…
(12 quotes found)
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
Roald Dahl
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
"We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it. - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
"Fairy tales have always got to have something a bit scary for children - as long as you make them laugh as well,"
"And Charlie, don't forget about what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he ever wanted. He lived happily ever after. - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
"Some children are spoiled and it is not their fault, it is their parents."
"Some adults forget what it was like to be a kid,'' Burton says. "
"I asked my mum, who's a very clever psychotherapist, and she says that kids love stories about death; they need it, they need to have stories that deal with death and explain it, as a place to put their fears - and actually, Corpse Bride is a beautiful and very comforting, joyous portrayal of what might be beyond life."
"I do not like film directors very much. They lack humility and they are too damn sure that everything they do is right. The trouble is that it's mostly wrong. Oh, what a mess Mel Stewart made of Charlie."

Converting a Pole Barn
I have a 25x30 pole barn type building that I am looking to convert into a more suitable workshop. This will entail a concrete floor and stick walls. It currently is very solidly built in pole barn style. It has heavy guage metal as the only barrier between the inside and the outside. After pouring inside, I would potentially like to have a concrete walk/ patio that would span the 10 feet between the house and the workshop on one side. I have plenty of experience pouring and finishing concrete on new projects, but I have a couple of questions on this scenario: 1. Can I use the existing metal siding as a form to pour the floor inside the shop? 2. If so, when I go to pour concrete on the outside, will leaving the metal siding as a barrier between the two be a problem? 3. There is a great deal of conflicting information about pouring concrete in direct contact with the existing 6"x6" supports for the building?
Thank you for the suggestions. Advertisement |

I myself do not like concrete coming into contact with anything other than pressure treated wood. Concrete is a conduit for moisture. With that said:
I would wrap by 6x6 at the level of the concrete slab (if the columns are not pressure treated) with some type of product like grace vicor or even ice and water shield. This will need the concrete from contacting the column. I do not like concrete touching metal if also exposed to air (rebar and welded wire mesh is fine inside). I would fine a material to place between the siding and the concrete, maybe something like a bituminous fiberboard. As far as using the metal siding as a form, that would depend on how well the siding is attached. I understand you are not placing probably no more than 4 to 6 inches of concrete, but you do not want to have a "blow out" while placing your slab. Maybe some bracing along the outside bottom of the siding would aid. make sure to install some control joints in your concrete, probably best at each column (don't know if you have interior columns or not), basically run a line from column to column (not needed along outside perimeter of slab). Typically 1/4 the depth of your slab is sufficient. All concrete cracks as your know, so this will allow it to crack where you want it. Just a friendly reminder. my humble opinion, I'm sure you'll get many many more, and some will probably disagree with mine. Good luck! Advertisement

If the pole shed is in good shape just put a 2x4 (or 2x6) on the posts at the bottom.
This becomes the level of the top of hte concrete and gives you something to screed on. Then insulate between the posts and finish the inside of the walls. Here is a thread on Tractorbynet http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/p...pole-barn.html There are others to you can search for. |

We have currently suspended our programs in Nepal.
Although only 150 km and around 12 hours North of Katmandu, Langtang is one of the most remote areas of Nepal. Bordering Tibet, the mountaneous Langtang National Park is known for its its spectacular Himal Mountain Views, and is a popular
trekking destination.
Our volunteer programs are based in mountain villages around the small
town of Syabrubesi. Although all are within 3 hours of Syabrubesi, a
treking start point with Western facillities, the villages can only be
accessed on foot and are very remote and basic by Western standards.
Volunteers have limited access to telephone, mail and the internet
whilst in their villages and usually travel into Syabrubesi on weekends
to socialize with other volunteers and take advantage of the
People in this region are primarily Tamang. The Tamang are known for their industrious nature and many are employed as porters for tourists visiting the area. However the recent political instability and the remoteness of the region, has reduced the level of tourism contributing to this being one of the poorest regions of Nepal.
Volunteers have the opportunity to teach in a number of primary and secondary schools in the Langtang area. Volunteers will work together with a local teacher to help improve English skills including listening and speaking, grammar,and reading for children and teachers. You will also be able to assist local teachers in a variety of other subjects including maths and history.
Travel to Teach also work with several libraries around Langtang. Volunteers conduct informal English language lessons in the mornings and late afternoons before and after school at the center and are also welcome to conduct workshops in varying subjects and skills.

Volunteers in the Langtang area home stay with local Tamang families. We have four different home stay families in the area all of whom have lots of previous experience with looking after volunteers. Nepali people are very hospitable and friendly and volunteers are very well looked after, however the accommodation is typically Nepali and very basic by Western standards. Toilets and showers are usually traditional Nepali and outside and electricity supplies can be unreliable.
During your time in the house you will be encouraged to participate in activities around the home such as cooking, washing and generally caring for the house and family as if you where a member of the familly. We believe this is best way to experience real Nepali life.
Located close to the Tibet border the Langtang area offers fantastic opportunities for trekking sightseeing and rafting. Volunteers can take trips to Tato Pani, a naturally heated lake only 3km from the Tibetan border. Volunteers can also join tour groups to visit Tibet.
The staple food for people in Nepal is "Dal Bhat" which most families will eat at least once a day and consists of rice (Bhat), lentil soup (dal) and vegetables in curry (Tarkari) and/or meat (Masu) and a small amount of pickle /sauce (Achar). As well as Dal Bhat and the more Indian influenced Nepali foods Tibetan influenced dishes such as Tibetan breads, thugba (noodle soup), momos and tsampa are particularly popular in mountain regions. Volunteers usually eat with there home stay families during the week but can travel into Syabrubesi on weekends which had a variety of continental foods.
The Langtang areas weather is dictated by its high elevation. The area has two basic seasons, wet between June and September and dry between October and May. We do not recommend volunteering in Langtang during the rainy season as there are often landslides which can block the roads leading into the region for 3 or 4 days at a time. The dry season can get extremely cold at night, particularly during the winter months between December and February.
Langtang Weather ChartIn order to fly directly to Nepal from your home country, Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu is the only international airport in Nepal. TIA has direct airlink with Osaka, Shanghai, London, Frankfurt, Hongkong, Singapore, Bangkok, Delhi, Dubai, Bombay and Calcutta. Lufthansa, Royal Nepal Airlines (RNAC), Air India, Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways are the airlines that carry most of the foreign travelers into Kathmandu; and if you buy tickets from any other airlines, you will probably connect with one of these airlines for the final leg of your flight.
Volunteers will be met at the international airport in Kathmandu by our in country coordinators.
A Visa can be obtained from the Royal Nepalese Embassy or Consulate office located in your country. It is also possible to get a Visa upon arrival at the Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu. However, it is recommended that you obtain your Visa prior to arrival as the Visa lines at the airport tend to be quite long.
The fee for a Single Entry Tourist Visa to Nepal for 60 days is US $60. Tourist visa can be extended for a maximum of 150 days. The Visa extension fee for 30 days is US $30.
If you are planning to work in Cambodia then you will need to obtain a police records background check before starting your placement. For details on the application procedure in your home country please take a look at: www.travel-to-teach.org/CRB-information.php

God is her oath, the daughter of Amminadab and the wife of Aaron (Ex. 6:23).
elisheba was a perfect shrew, and often reminded me of certain women that I have seen who had soured on the world.
elisheba always insisted on being served first, and being a female her wish was complied with.
elisheba had no taste for such pastime, but her depravity could never resist the impulse to interrupt him in his jolly exercise.
elisheba watched him until she quite grasped the idea, when she climbed up in the same manner and slaked her thirst.
elisheba, Naashon's wife, any housekeeper and faithful slave could attend to the former wants.
This act was repeated six or eight times, when elisheba left the hatch and took a seat on a spar that lay on deck.
It was the one thing that elisheba was afraid of, and the only one against which she ever gave me warning.
He would drink a few swallows of the water and then utter the sound, whereupon elisheba would climb up again and taste it.
Aaron ceased eating and stared at the visitor with a look of surprise, but elisheba barely noticed him.
From time to time elisheba would change her seat, when the same scene would ensue.

Electronic Health Records: Privacy Barrier
By Ericka Chickowski | Posted 2008-06-30 Email PrintMany attribute slow uptake of electronic health records, or personal health records (PHR), as a sign of consumer mistrust of privacy practices and security technology.
Privacy a Major Barrier
Many factors still hinder the online health records movement, but none are as readily apparent as privacy and confidentiality issues. Markle's survey, created by Columbia University Professor Emeritus Alan F. Westin and conducted by Knowledge Networks, found that among 1,500 members of the public, 53.6 percent were disinterested in using PHRs. Of those, privacy was the most frequently chosen reason.
Privacy has long been a delicate issue in health IT circles, which was why Congress acted in 1996 to push through the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Yet, for all its benefits, HIPAA has nary a whisper on the subject of online personal health records. The law is, after all, 10 years old.
"Some of the new services aren't covered under federal health information privacy laws, and there is uncertainty about privacy protections," Steve Findlay, health care analyst for Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports, said at last week's press conference on the Connecting for Health Common Framework release. "This collaboration lays out specific practices that all PHRs and related services can use, whether they are covered by federal privacy rules or not, so they can enhance public trust."
The Connecting for Health framework task force set aside the HIPAA debate and went back to the basics, by defining fundamental elements of privacy in the context of PHR and tailored online health services, says Dempsey of the Center for Democracy and Technology. Most importantly, the framework recommendations were written to be consumed by a range of audiences, including policy makers, system developers, health care providers, employers, insurance companies and consumers, he says.
"What this task force did was it took motherhood and apple pie principles─you've got to protect privacy, you ought to have security, you need to give notice to people about your practices─and translated them into 120 pages of detail," Dempsey says.

4dapted brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 111 Designs von 33 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Manfield Partners
Check out our website. We need help!
I did the text which I think gives a good description of what we do and what we are looking to do as a firm.
First step is to get a logo for business cards, letter head etc. Then we'll need to start thinking about the website which as you see needs some work and then presentation material etc.
We are advisers to and investors in businesses. We specialise in turnaround situations and situations where we can bring operational and financial expertise.
We are 5 key partners with around 10 operating execs.
The best things to read on the website are the case study examples as they give a good idea on what we actually do.
Target audience is mixed between senior executives in business (CEOs, CFOs, Managing Directors) and finance people (being bankers, private equity, other capital providers)
They will meet us in person hence get a business card, look at the website, a presentation and see letters from us so the image they get of us is purely from these other things.
We need a new logo to start with.
The brief on the website was that we like simple and plain.
We liked the following sites for look and feel (and hence logo too):
- http://www.bettercapital.co.uk
- http://www.palamon.com
- http://www.greenparkcapital.com
- http://www.bluebayinvest.com
Happy to give more but this gives a flavour.
We're not big into photos on the website. We're not looking for anything really fancy. Simple, professional, not cheap or childlike, clear, simple and bold. Something that says we are a serious, trustworthy, hands on, professional team
The old one is attached so you can see what we had. Happy to consider tweaks to it and complete new designs.
No clip art or stock images to be used in the design

Steak Fact Sheet
Cut: Two New York StripsGrade: USDA Prime
Breed: Black Angus
Dry Aged? 35 Days
Pre-Cooked Weight: 18oz. each
Price: $99, comes with choice of appetizer, fries, grilled asparagus, au poivre sauce, and choice of dessert.
Note: Special on Monday nights, available for pre-order the rest of the week. Requires two days' notice; email [email protected]
"I don't know why you would cover meat like this in pepper and scorch it," exclaims Le Rivage's chef and owner Paul Denamiel as he prepares too take us through his version of steak au poivre, which conspicuously omits covering the steak in crushed peppercorns. Before him lie two marbled slabs of USDA Prime bone-in strip steak dry aged for 35 days by Pat LaFrieda. "Three generations of my family have been buying meat from three generations of his family," says the chef of the butcher. Le Rivage has been around since the 1940's (they moved to the "new" current location in 1983) and the LaFriedas have been selling meat longer even than that—-dating back to the 1920's.
"When you have been in business together that long you get certain benefits," Denamiel explains. Benefits like extremely competitive pricing—"even my regular prix fixe menu features USDA prime steaks, which is unheard of at my price point," says the chef. Although those steaks are wet aged, Denamiel offers a dry aged steak special for two on Monday nights for a very attractive price: $99 for two 18 oz. steaks including fries, asparagus, au poivre sauce, and the choice of two appetizers and two desserts.
"I see my steak as a taking the best of the old and new worlds" he says. "They don't have beef like this in Europe," which is why his approach to cooking the meat is decidedly New World—it's seared in a screaming-hot broiler that would be the envy of any steakhouse.
While the chef demurs the notion of covering the steak in crushed peppercorns, his sauce is about as classic as it gets. It starts off as a veal bone stock that simmers for hours in the back of Le Rivage's kitchen. The stock is the basis for a classic Burgundy red wine sauce that the chef then adds to a peppercorn and vinegar reduction before amping it up with cream and cognac to finish his au poivre sauce.

man linking suit enviros would be awesome
even with the ensuing vomit and nasal fluid leakage
Yyyer boi
I don't know what would be so great about sharing the same air-supply.
i wonder how its like to embrace eternity with an asari
If you want me to tell you my whole sex life, sure. Pull up a seat and I'll tell you every little fine detail of my Boyfriend and I's Private life.
I had a chance to experience of being sealed in enviro-suit (firefighter one) for five hours. That was as bad as it sounds. Now I can actually imagine how it is to spend most of the life in that kind of stuff. Altough pilgrimage thing indeed sounds very romantic.
The same, probably, fluffy and romantic stuff. It depends on perception, I think... every species know only their way of life, so a quarrian, be it real, wouldn't be so miserable as a human sealed in a suit. Works the same way for everyone, I guess.
Wait does that mean sharing the same air supply? I thought they had oxygen scrubbers for their own air and shiz.
just they'd be getting extra air which has been 'contaminated' by the other dude
What sex life, you and him have a long range relationship and have never met in person lol.
I honestly don't know what linking suits is like, I'll just assume its a god-damn hose for air supplies.
I'd love to go into detail about how things like that work. But I don't think Facepunch needs to know about how I get it on, long-distance or not.
Posting in the middle of a class.
I really need to stop looking for spoilers, I've been coming across some weird shit..
I read that there's either a Mordin romance and a Chakwas romance OR a Mordin/Chakwas romance..? I couldn't understand the way it was phrased , came from a random forum though, most likely has nothing to back it up.
Um, you go do that buddy.
What happened to this thread? I think I'll partake in a media blackout (except for the launch trailer) from now until I finish the game. Mainly because a) this thread is getting creepy and b) the last game I was hyped for the launch of (portal 2) the ending was spoiled so I'll leave before that happens. In the words of Shepard,
I should go.
I kinda want do like
draw a diagram or something of how the air would work in a linked suit environment.
Pretty sure that is all fake
Fare-Well Sweet Prince
Good luck drawing that shit
My hope for a Mordinmance will not be shattered! Until March 6th! That Chakwas thing on the other hand.. probably fake or speculation.
Pretty sure Mordin dies
Guys, take a brake!
From what I've been reading there's a possibility that he can survive the mission. Hopefully it's true
We're too cool for that.
Actually now that you mention it, probably time to go play more of the Demo.
This is a mass effect thread not "let me tell you about my boyfriend and I"
I mean I could go on and on about how my boyfriend nails me occasionally
he BETTER NOT, mordin is great
From what I seen, I think thats if you horribly fuck everything over and ruin the Krogans. I'm pretty sure Mordin chooses to die. But don't quote me on that.
You realize I was being a smart-ass, right. I don't want nor need to tell Facepunch about my sex-life.
My smart-ass detector has been broken as of late, sorry
probably due to the little amount of sleep I've gotten
Apparently you do.
This probably really is the time we all take a brake...
that movie was so awful, hahah
I agree. Read the first part of that post.
This thread turned into the talk about my fetishes with my long distance boyfriends thread.
Facepunch is truly a majestic beast.
Unless it's the best writing I've ever seen in my life I will not be satisfied with a lose/lose situation regarding Mordin's survival in ME3. There must be some way to keep him alive.. screw over krogan and renegade interrupt his second-guessing? Keep Maelon's cure data to help produce a cure?
Who knows.
I hate that it's so close to launch and I won't even get it for at least 3-4 days after thanks to the post office.. all this speculation is killing me
Its aight with me.
Pretty sure fucking over the Krogan is the only way to keep him alive, but I really don't know. Lots of Characters *will* die in ME3 no matter what.
Also consider Mordin is ooollllllllld as fuck oh my god like 110 by 2012 human age standards
I think uh, romance would be the last thing on his mind
I did, but still. That was unnecessary a bit.
I for one love it when nails go wild lol
it's "break", unless you want me messing with your car.
Second day on the shift is messing with my head instead. Yeah, I meant that "break" thing.
I hope Tali doesn't look much like a human. All the Mass Effect aliens are pretty distinct from one another and it would be weird to find out quarians and humans are basically the same.
You can already see that Tali has a mostly human face. You can clearly see her nose and cheeks in ME1, her nose in ME2. Plus they were described as looking like humans in Ascension.
Have you seen the concept art showing Quarian face ideas? Some are really quite nice. They're not especially human. At least, quite a few of them.

Dedicated Fan
Michigan resident Chase Meyers reminds us that "fan" is short for "fanatic." "All my life I've grown up as a University of Michigan fan. I told my dad that for my first car I wanted a Jeep painted like the Michigan football helmet."
Chase's '83 CJ-7 was originally powered by a 258 inline-six. No more. A Chevy 350 crate engine topped by an Edelbrock intake and carb moves the CJ-7 these days. Running gear is connected to 33-inch Pro Comp All Terrain tires mounted on 16-inch Center Line wheels and a 4-inch Pro Comp suspension lift.
Chase, it looks great clean, but we're sure it'll look even better dirty!
A Flash of Orange
Old Jeeps often fade out and rust away. That's certainly not the case with Craig Brown's '76 CJ-5. The short-wheelbase '5 is powered by a rebuilt AMC 304 V8. Connecting the power with terra firma is a 4-inch Superlift suspension kit augmented with a Daystar shackle lift and Heckethorn shocks. This suspension system, combined with a Daystar 1-inch body lift, makes room for a set of 33-inch BFG Mud-Terrain tires on 15-inch American Racing Outlaw II wheels. The original two-arm power steering was replaced with a conventional power steering system that saves Craig's strength and makes for a more relaxing time in the dirt. A Currie steering-box brace helps avoid stress-cracked framerails. The body tub looks pristine and rust-free in the photo, and it's bound to stay that way thanks to a generous coating of Herculiner inside. Omaha Orange paint protects and calls attention to the Jeep's exterior. Beneath the tub, the front axle and the driveshafts were treated to new U-joints. The front axle's drums were wisely ditched for a set of discs. The vintage '5 looks great.
