DERIVED FROM THE Swedish word vikker (willow), wicker is a generic term for furniture made of willow, bamboo, fiber, reed, raffia, rush, grass and rattan. (Rattan is so strong and flexible that Asians used it to build suspension bridges; the Japanese still build scaffolding of bamboo.)
Wicker furniture first arrived here aboard the Mayflower, but none was produced domestically until 1844. Clipper ships returning from the Orient used rattan poles to keep cargo from shifting, then discarded them in Boston Harbor. A young grocer named Wakefield fished out the rattan poles and turned them into lawn chairs. Next, finding the inner core of the poles even cheaper and more pliable than the rind, Wakefield spun the rattan into matting. This woven "fabric" was used for skirt hoops, railway-seat covers and America's first mass-produced wicker furniture. Water-resistant, durable and adaptable to baroque Victorian designs, it was ideal for outdoor use.
By the turn of the century, central heating permitted wicker (not as insulated as overstuffed furniture) to be used indoors. Glassed-in sun porches suddenly abounded with wicker plant stands, phonograph cabinets and matched furniture sets.
In 1921, a manufacturer by the name of Lloyd developed a machine for inexpensive close weaving, flooding the market with tightly woven wicker furniture sets embellished with the contrasting diamond motif which distinguishes genuine '20s pieces. His Lloyd Loom chairs, especially, were so widely and cheaply sold that by 1930, wicker finally went out of fashion. In the past decade, wicker has again become popular for indoor use.

Will you say I love you, too?
Will you come back to me?
Please, answer me…
But only answer what I want to hear
I don't need anything else but your love
I love you and take me in your love…again…
For, I can't live anymore without you
Say you can't love me like I love you
I'd rather die seriously than be without you…

I saw this community and noticed that one of the items of interest is apraxia. My son's new speech therapist believes he has childhood apraxia of speech. He is 2 1/2 years old; he can say about a dozen words clearly, and he can say most of the consonant sounds and all of the vowel sounds clearly in isolation. He talks in the back of his throat most of the time with everything a glottal stop of g--the family and close friends can understand him sometimes, and it is clear that he is talking in complete sentences. He understands a lot more than he can communicate as he can follow very long directions. Oh, he isn't a late speaker in that he started talking at 9 months, but he started lagging at 18 months. He also doesn't have any developmental lags outside of talking.
At any rate, I just wanted to say hi and hear what other people are going through, so I'll have an idea of what my son may experience in his speech therapy.

Helen P. Bronson's 1957 book: "Gay Bar"
Here's a book I recommend everyone in this nation to read. It's a slim volume, only 166 pages with notes and bibliography – it's an incredible story from the 1950s by Helen Bronson – and some of the mushiest commentary by the man who resurrected this weird little book in 2010. And you know what makes it weird, but in the best sense of the word: it was written by a middle aged woman who owned a "gay bar" in Los Angeles between 1952 and 1957 or so. She had worked in other gay bars in one fashion or the other for more another 20 years. That qualifies as having some sort of expertise. Even if not "official" or with a piece of paper. Though, certainly more than any alleged professional studying gay folks, since they hang out at the office. This woman was in the real world. Ah, yes, lo those many years ago, yes, she wrote a book entitled, simply, "Gay Bar." As we say, Maarrvelous!
And you know what she wrote about? The exact same confounded discussion I have everyday with so many right now. Nothing has changed. Well, a little; now even more people like us. Back then, not so many. Yet, back then, the word "marriage" is in this book – as in "there were boys with gay marriages." But that's supposedly a new invention. Ah, yes, "boy." She used it throughout – "My boys, I protect them." Boy did we need that; still do, sadly. The word "boy" of course being appropriate for men of all ages, but never kids. KIDS – that's "boys" for gay folks. "boys" are gay men of any age. Yes, fascinating too because only some, not many, a few, heterosexuals – men and women, oh yes – sort of understand us. And they befriend us – and more importantly: protect us still. I've known many. Though even they're not clear on the thing; they just don't find it so horrible.
Yes, protect us — from the crazed attitudes of the other heteros. You, the 95% – like a bunch of sissy boys afraid of the light – oh my heavens! Those gay boys, they'll make someone gay! Predators! Beware … And yet, as this Ms. Bronson says, and as my recent foray into "A Parents Guide to Preventing Homosexuality," as imagined by Joseph Nicolosi – it's the parents' fault. So we can't make you gay – your parents make you gay; just like our parents made us gay (oh, not really, but it sounds good, I guess.) Only, she, untutored as she was, except by reality, somewhat, says that it's the mother's fault. She was, of course, merely speaking of the thinking of the times. Why, she a few times uses the word "invert" – but, tellingly she almost always used the word: Gay. In the early 1950s. Geez.
Yes, that oh so very Thoroughly Modern Milly (now there's a reference you might have to look up,) word: GAY! Oh my, folks are still arguing over it. It's so bad when used by us, people are trying to outlaw its usage. For Liberty I suppose. Still, there it is, as "early" as 1952. But alas, due to the inability to remember much anymore, we forget that it was used in a quote in a book about London in Samuel Johnson's time. He of the first English dictionary produced. Yes, there, a report: man arrested for being "out and about … in a gay fashion." Yes, there, from the 1730s is the word that is new and modern. There too, in the late 1500s, at a public pronouncement by Elizabeth I of England, quite a bossy, though astute, woman, who ran a whole Empire – not too shabby: for our purposes the word, there clear as pie. Aye, but she saideth (Elizabeth's English,) "Send Lord Darnley, that fairy and gay man, to Mary, my Cousin, so naught may come of it." Well, that was late Tudor politics, Mary, Queen of Scots and her second husband. He was fag bashed to death; took a whole night! Feisty fellow, took them much endeavor; fascinating story.
Lets go back further! To the woman who introduced the word to English, in this sense, this um, man=man business, to Eleanor of Aquitaine. Ah, bossy indeed – with a "gai" son, even. There's the word, used in the few known letters between her and her son: Richard the Lionhearted, scourge of Saracens at Jerusalem gates; one of the greatest King of England, and most of what is today France; and husband of fair Berengaria, princess of Navarre, an important place in the 1180s.
And the king? Well, boyfriend, for a while, with Philip of France, King of not much of modern France – Yet even way back then they called it France. Sometimes. Biographers of either have to say every few pages: "but he's not homosexual." And you know, he wasn't, the word not invented yet. He was, um, "gai," as momma saideth. The two kings shared the same bed in Philip's castle (not a decorators dream, I assure you,) and, well, it scandalized Europe. Whispers about the boys, um, kings, were rampant. It's mentioned by numerous chroniclers of the day. Interestingly, they too use the word "gai" – hmm, coincidence? Fear not, biographing Dorothies, there's a man behind the tapestry. And two gay kings.
Ah, Berengaria, somewhat jilted, though married still, after Eleanor dragged her from Navarre to France, then dragged her to Sicily, in one of the quickest recorded voyages across Europe in the 1180s, (six weeks, London to Messina) to make sure Richard did his duty: make babies. He didn't. The unconsummated wife, did record for us, however, from her retiring convent, a bit of mush, and said, more or less: "I got me a fine husband, bravest in all of Christendom, a real man. Alas, in 10 years of marriage we spent just 3 months in the same city, otherwise we be apart, and we did not do our noble duty (aka, you know, um, SEX!) He being busy with his boys." Yes, the king's house, sort of like Bronson's bar, um, "Europa," but different. Sad, too, Berengaria: she stated before she died in the convent, "I die a virgin." Richard, however, did not die a virgin, unless if you think that only straight sex breaks virginity, in which case he's pure and proper.
I digress: back to the book. Her insights are phenomenal for the time in which she wrote them. It seems she wrote about a hundred pages – and this guy Will Fellows injected his two cents, or 60 pages. He's, um, an idiot. But that's OK, for he's the one who brought the book back to light. For that he gets 100 points. A+ as it were. For his commentary, eh, not so many. Maybe, oh, 40, no, 30. Hmm. That she's a woman, who wrote her part back in the 1950s – and her a mere bar broad – is one thing: she's to get a gazillion points for having the gumption back then to say something nice about us. Would that every important person in the nation at that time would have read this book; and unimportant people too. Nah, they wouldn't have even heard of it. Couldn't even send a brochure about it through the mails – why, for Liberty, and Free Speech, and the 1st Amendment gays' rights were tossed aside for some family or national security reason. Yes, not anything about any gay stuff allowed. Post Office rules! That would be some subversive propaganda, they said – I laugh when I hear people today complain about Chick-fil-a being called idiots, but within their rights, by the likes of me – when my free speech was prohibited by law, by the likes of the Chick-fil-as of the world; and it was OK.
But this fellow Fellows, well, he should know better.
He's right back to the "father" thing again.
OK, then, so who's right? Is it our relationship with our mothers or our fathers? This I got to know.
No, it's our predisposition! Itself unexplained and unexplored beyond the word. Where did the predisposition come from? Why is it there? How can this not be natural, you know, what God intended? No one says, there are no inquiring minds.
Or some environmental factors, they've been brought up of late, remaining, however, as vague as a summer eve's wispy cloud. They are not, though I'm not sure, part of the mother or father whammy. Sometimes it's said to be birth order, or how many sisters and how close in age they might be. Or perhaps it was some guy down the block. No one says, it's just the word. Or a phrase: both nature and nurture. Though for gayness the "nature" part is suspect or dismissed; the glory be in the undefined "nurture."
Hormones perhaps, unnatural, Devil induced, and unnamed; not even a theory of which ones. There's so many to pick and choose. Is it one, two, three, four? Or ½ of them, or maybe more? It's not said. Detail, too many details.
Or perhaps, just perhaps, it was some recruiter! The bastard. Yes, we who are said to choose to be gay and thus busy recruiting the youth of America, are making the new gays, who then can't choose, because they've been wily enticed and entrapped in some "Lifestyle." Yet, we too were recruited, I suppose, though we also choose of free will and volition – to simply turn off completely the vaunted instinct to reproduce. What power does the gay mind emit: turns off instinct. Where's Darwin when you need him? Maybe he could figure out that one.
Yes, the clarity among Branson, who is innocent due to her times, and Fellows, who is guilty because of his times, and the rest of you – the psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, religious folks and scientists of various disciplines, each with your theory du jour – well, it's quite a cesspool of choices, isn't it? Ptolemy would marvel at the complexity, Copernicus couldn't make sense of the starry world in which the theories about why there are gay folks circulate. Occam would smack you in the head, and say: why don't you try asking real questions, so to find the simple answer?
Though, wonderfully, she quotes a guy saying "all men are gay until proven otherwise" – it is a phrase that is still in circulation today among us, as the joke on the predisposition-psychology mush. And then she points out the contest between the obvious sissies and those who could pass for hetero. When they tried, at least. That's still going on. I have to always point out that it was the raving sissies and drag queens who got us into the fight, finally, after decades of sitting around fretting. Those nellies said "The hell with this, stop raiding the friggin' bar already." And lo, it stopped, almost overnight, after just a tiny three day riot.
Still, a cause, yes. Let me know when you get together and pick one – rather than the buffet you all like to use – so that I might argue the one, and not all of them. That they are all ridiculous goes with much saying – none of it used yet, by any professional, because, well, that would be promoting "homosexuality." And you wonder why we're cranky. Geez.
And so, yes, the book – fascinating, and infuriating, but satisfying. And so, get a copy, read it. Find out something instead of just "knowing" stuff. "Helen Bronson's 'Gay Bar'" Amazing. And found right there on my library shelf across the street. Right next to the arrant garbage of Joseph Nicolosi's farcical thoughts on "preventing" the thing. He's like a modern day vice squad, of the sort that wandered Los Angeles in the "Gay Bar" time, and had a ball arresting gay men for so much as touching with a finger tip another gay man. For Liberty! And Religious Freedom! So that heteros with not a clue that Bronson even had a gay bar, could go calmly about beating their wives and children, getting divorces, committing adultery, and sometimes going so far as to kill any one of them: kids on parents, dad against mom, mom against kids – and all while churning out a steady flow of gay sons — quite a merry go round, no? For family values of course, the quiet little gay bar, with Bronson's boys, had to be monitored and raided (though very politely at her place, she says,) to make sure two gay boys didn't hold hands or sit too close to each other on their ride home. Oh the horrors, real and perceived, and just made up and fantasy.
And Kinsey makes several appearances; mostly his study. But almost miraculously including him actually calling her up and getting together with her to ask questions. Fellows speaks of Kinsey as if his study is still valid. But no, it was debunked long ago. According to Ms. Bronson, she and Kinsey disagreed, or had different information and observances, on various aspects of the matter. Still, everyone remembers that 10% number, and all the heterosexuals who try gay out – though it be woeful mush. It sounds good, I guess.
Yes, what a great read.

Angora Goat Information
Angora goats are shorn twice a year, in the spring, before kidding season, and in the fall, prior to breeding. Angoras normally produce 3/4″ to 1″ of hair growth per month, making adult hair average from five to six inches in length at each of the semi-annual shearing. The first sheering from a kid angora goat is the best (softest, finest) fleece that the animal will ever have.
Angoras are believed to have originated in the Himalaya Mountains of Asia. They found their way to Turkey where the name Angora was derived from Andara, the name of the province where the goats thrived. The Angora goat's history in the United States traces back to an 1849 importation, when Dr. James B. David of Columbia, South Carolina, was given seven does and two bucks by the Sultan of Turkey in gratitude for experimental work to improve Turkey's cotton production. Most of the large flocks of Angora goats today are found in the American South West with Texas having the greatest number. An adult male weighs between 75 and 100 pounds and a female is somewhat lighter. Their life span is around 15 to 17 years.

It was hard to leave Indian River Inlet this morning. The sky was clear and the weather warm.
Of course it was.
I inherited from my father a "trick" ankle. I will up and fall for no apparent reason. I didn't trip over anything. I just fell. It would happen to me in my athletic days when I played hockey or lacrosse. I would be driving the ball down the field, no one anywhere near me, and I would just fall. Hard to explain to people. It happened again while we were playing mini golf on Saturday night. I woke up Sunday morning so stiff and sore it was hard to move but move I did eventually. I have to get this ankle business look it as this is happening a lot lately. It's embarrassing and it hurts like hell, causing swelling in the offending ankle.
The ride to Wilmington was fine. Spent the rest of the day catching up on mail and writing.

Beware stock of unknown origins
PLANTING material of unknown origin could damage the infant energy crop industry, according to Semundos Fiona Davies.
Already an agent for Swedish-bred willows, the company has linked up with German plant breeder Piccoplant to trial miscanthus in the UK.
"With such a long-term crop youve got to have good plants to start with," says Mrs Davies. Miscanthus, or elephant grass, can be grown relatively cheaply from rhizomes. But without knowing their origin there is no guarantee of hardiness or disease resistance. There are no official tests, she warns.
"We have the agency to produce sterile plants from meristems by micropropagation." Piccoplant has 15 years experience breeding lines with good frost and disease resistance, she adds. *

She was up early this morning. She wasn't crying. She was talking. And yelling. But not crying. She wanted me to know she was up and she wanted me to get up. I heard her. I also heard this soft banging. I didn't know what it was. So I went in her room to find out what the banging was. She had spun herself around 90 degrees so that she was kicking the bars of the crib.
Yesterday she laughed, today she spins!
What's next?

NFL Picks Week 9: Road Teams Sure to Emerge Victorious in Tough EnvironmentsOctober 31, 2013
The best teams in the NFL can consistently win on the road.
A road win is hard to come by, as the travel aspect combined with the change in how calls on both sides of the ball are made in a loud environment certainly play a major factor in the oft-advertised home-field advantage.
As much as a home field can help its team to a win, nothing can make up for a simple talent disparity. Week 9 features several contests in which the visiting teams are sure to disappoint the fans in attendance.
They are as follows.
|NFL Week 9 Picks
|Cincinnati Bengals
|Miami Dolphins
|Kansas City Chiefs
|Buffalo Bills
|Minnesota Vikings
|Dallas Cowboys
|Tennessee Titans
|St. Louis Rams
|New Orleans Saints
|New York Jets
|San Diego Chargers
|Washington Redskins
|Atlanta Falcons
|Carolina Panthers
|Philadelphia Eagles
|Oakland Raiders
|Tampa Bay Buccaneers
|Seattle Seahawks
|Baltimore Ravens
|Cleveland Browns
|Pittsburgh Steelers
|New England Patriots
|Indianapolis Colts
|Houston Texans
|Chicago Bears
|Green Bay Packers
|Chris Roling's Predictions
Tennessee Titans Down St. Louis Rams
As much as Jeff Fisher would surely love a win when his former team visits St. Louis, the Tennessee Titans are too much for the Rams regardless of the locale.
There's something to be said for how well the Rams played on Monday against Seattle, as Robert Quinn and Co. sacked Russell Wilson seven times en route to a 14-9 loss. However, that short layover and an emotional loss will work against the Rams.
Tennessee finally got quarterback Jake Locker back, and while he managed over 300 yards against San Francisco two weeks ago, the majority came after the team was already down 24-0.
The Titans got off to a 3-1 start with Locker under center before his injury, and things will get back to normal after a bye week against St. Louis. Locker will be effective along with his running game thanks to a defense that allows 116 rushing yards per game.
Prediction: Titans 30, Rams 17
Pittsburgh Steelers Upset New England Patriots
Former AFC powerhouses in Pittsburgh and New England have not been very good this season, although New England has managed a 6-2 record.
Tom Brady is not his usual self and has thrown just nine touchdowns and surpassed the 300-yard mark once—Rob Gronkowski's return has done little to help the issue.
The game may be in Foxborough, where New England has won every game this season, but Brady's ineffectiveness will finally be exposed, as Pittsburgh touts the second-best pass defense in the NFL with only 181 yards allowed per game.
Pittsburgh will be able to get back to basics and control the game via the run. Rookie back Le'Veon Bell has been extremely impressive as a power runner and now sees a soft New England defense that ranks second-to-last in the NFL with 130.8 yards allowed per game on the ground.
Bell and the Steelers will move past New England in a bit of a shocker.
Prediction: Steelers 27, Patriots 24
Indianapolis Colts Sneak By Houston Texans
Last year this battle between AFC South rivals was for supremacy in the division.
Now it's simply a case of Indianapolis marching onward to the playoffs and Houston fighting to remain relevant.
The Texans received a boost from quarterback Case Keenum two weeks ago against Kansas City as he threw for over 200 yards in a loss, but the inexperienced quarterback may be without both Arian Foster and Ben Tate, per Kevin Bowen, who reports for the Colts' official site:
Indianapolis has a horrible defense against the run as the unit allows over 122 yards per game, but if Foster and Tate are limited at best, that will force Keenum into a one-dimensional attack through the air, which is preferable as the Colts' defensive strength.
Andrew Luck will face an uphill battle against the league's best pass defense, but his top-10 rushing attack will allow the Colts to grind out a win over the injury-plagued Texans.
Prediction: Colts 27, Texans 24

I have two observations to make about your rant. One is that, as you correctly pointed out, even though the stadium wasn't filled to capacity for the game against the Angels this past Sunday, there were still roughly two thousand more fans in attendance that day than there normally were throughout the season–and based on past performances
I'd say that the two thousand or so fans who elected to stay away probably had an inkling that since Ron Washington and his Rangers were about to pull an El Foldo for the third consecutive year, their attendance was a moot point anyway.
As for your characterization of Big Mouthed, "GET OFF OUR FIELD", under-achieving .273 hitting second baseman Ian Kinsler as a SUPERSTAR, I think you're exaggerating a bit. No, make that ALOT. This is a guy who, to me, has more natural talent than Dustin Pedroia. He's hit 30 homeruns twice in his career, and has quick hands.
But he doesn't get nearly as much out of his ability as his counterpart in Boston does–a guy who, in my opinion, really DOES deserve the title "SUPERSTAR" as far as today's second basemen go and is one of the deadliest clutch hitters in either league–something that cannot be said about Kinsler.
And if you think what I'm saying is nonsense I'd invite you to take a poll of the GM's around the league and ask them who they'd rather have playing second for them–Ian or Dustin. Either that, or just do a simple side-by-side career stat comparison of the two players; that ought to be enough.
Also, over the past five years Ian tends to have lapses in the field and on the base paths at the worst possible times for his team, something that rarely happens with Pedroia, whom the Red Sox just rewarded with a contract befitting of a player who really does deserve his SUPERSTAR billing.
This Ranger club's record–as I said when the season was still young–is fool's gold. I knew that they didn't have what it took between the ears to win–let alone on the field after Jon Daniels got rid of Napoli, Young, Hamilton (and Chris Davis for a ham sandwich two seasons ago).
I don't know if the guys in their talent pipeline are over-rated (see Mike Olt, who they shipped to the Cubs earlier this summer–or Mitch Moreland who they decided to keep instead of going after Prince Fielder when they had a chance to…) or if (just as likely), Ron Washington is stuck in his ways and makes stupid personnel decisions based on God only knows what (See his insane insistence on running the immortal Dave Murphy out to left field day after day and week after week long after it was apparent that the hot streak he had a couple of years ago was basically a flash-in-the-pan.
Developing Engel Beltre or giving Leonys Martin a chance right from the start would have made a lot more sense–at least to me. I mean, how much worse would things have turned out for the Rangers if he HAD?? Some of the afore-mentioned moves would also have been necessary if only because Texas lost 40% of its starting staff to injury almost before the season began–which meant that they'd need to score more runsin order to support pitchers who figured to give up more runs than the guys they were replacing.
I think I've said enough. It would surprise (and dismay) me if the Rangers stood pat with their coaching staff (particularly RW), to put it nicely. But I've been wrong before.
Better luck next year……..I guess…….

Although I can't disagree with your assessment of Ian's non-superstar status, I'll never understand why you and so many others in DFW take so much offense when a Ranger, or ex-Ranger, expresses a true but honest view about the fans – even when the opinion is unquestionably supported by the facts and based on reality. From my perspective… Ian is correct. Anyone watching the Pirates/Reds last night witnessed how a baseball town supports their team in a win or go home game. You think the Pirates didn't live through the same kind of garbage you spewed about the Rangers' missteps over the last couple of years? We should all be disappointed with Sunday's game and the fan support and Ian got it right. Monday seemed OK until we all witnessed the Pirates/Reds for a contrasting view between the snoozing in Arlington and the ROCKING in Pittsburgh. But hey… we're really good at booing Josh Hamilton! So now, should Ian anticipate a slice of the Josh 2014 pie? Should we rally the Ranger sheep to mindlessly begin sharing the Josh 2013 "baseball town" love with Ian in 2014? Maybe Ian should think a bit more before he speaks but he didn't say anything untrue. The Rangers sheep are significantly outnumbered by great Rangers baseball fans. However, DFW will never be a true baseball town if the sheep population can't move beyond their sensitivity and mindless ways.
Sorry, comments are closed on this post.

- Swinger Stories : Swap Meet A Night To Remember
Swap Meet a night to remember
Swap Meet a night to remember
It was a night like any other night, the kids were acting up like they usually do, wife was in the kitchen making dinner and I was working outside cutting the grass. My body was sweaty from the heat and when I was finished I came into the house for a nice refreshing cold drink.
Deb was working real hard in the kitchen as I opened up the refrigerator door, I glanced over at her and she gave me this big happy smile as to say, mm I want you right now right here but unfortunately we have kids and that's not happening. That evening after taking showers we both settled in for a good night sleep when I looked over at Deb she started touching me, feeling my hard nipples which quickly gave me a rise.
She said Paul I been having fantasies about some things and was wondering how you might feel about it?
I turned towards her with a rather astonished look and said, oh yea what kind of fantasy? Thinking to myself, this could be quite interesting to say the least since I have had fantasies as well.
She said well I been dreaming about us with another couple, exploring each other, watching you with another women and me with another man. She also went on to say that it was only a fantasy and didn't believe it would ever come true. I said honey it's perfectly normal to have those kinds of fantasies and if you wanted to explore them I would be ok with it.
Since we don't know anyone in the life style and our friends who we would hate to ask such a question, we figured we try surfing the Internet to see if we could hook up with a nice couple who are having the same fantasies. Finally we found this web site that catered to the life style and started chatting with a few select couples.
Since we were new to this we wanted to start out slow and see where it all would lead us and we found a cute couple who were looking for the same thing we were. Jimmy and Dawn were from a small town with 2 teen age kids and were looking to expand there sexual relationship with another couple.
We hit it off right away and decided to meet at a local bar for some drinks just to see if we all felt any sparks. Deb got all dolled up looking as sexy as ever, yea she was dressing to please, I almost had to have my way with her right there before we left but knowing we might be having even more fun that night made me think twice about that so off we went.
When we got to the bar we were very nervous and Deb looked at me and said what if we find out we don't want to do it with them? I said well if either one of us feel uncomfortable let's just give each other a signal that only we would know. Touch your ear with your left finger I told her and we both agreed and went into the Bar. We looked around to see if they were sitting at one of the booths so we walked around looking and finally there they were sitting in a corner having a drink all by themselves. We walked over and introduced ourselves, Hi I'm Paul and this is my wife Deb. Jimmy stood up and shook my hand and said Hi I'm Jimmy and this is my wife Dawn. We all sat down and ordered a drink and started talking. We hit it off right away and had a real good time just talking and enjoying each others company.
I noticed Jimmy staring at Debs breasts and knew right away that he wanted some of that and then I looked at Deb and seen she was conversing back at Jimmy as if she was a school girl again meeting a new guy for the first time and actually it turned me on. I have to admit Dawn was looking pretty damn hot and I couldn't believe that I might be having my way with her tonight and that got me real hard. She kept looking over at me with them sweet blue eyes and blond hair which I must admit I'm a sucker for Blonds.
Jimmy and dawn excused themselves for a moment to go smoke a cigarette outside the bar and this gave us time to talk freely to ourselves and discuss what we thought and if we wanted to take the next step. I asked Deb how she felt about Jimmy & Dawn? She said they are very nice and that she got along real well with Dawn. I said yea they are a cute couple and wouldn't mind getting a room with them if they feel the same about us.
When they came back in they sit down and Jimmy said, well what do you guys think? I said well we think you guys are great, how do you feel about us? He said you guys are exactly what we been looking for and wouldn't mind getting a room at the hotel next door and get some drinks to do a little partying.
Jimmy and I both went to the front desk at the hotel while the Girls sat in the lobby in a remote area where not to many people could see them. When we got back with the key we turned the corner and both girls were going at it. Kissing each other and touching and this got both of us real hot because we had no idea that either of them were remotely bi-sexual. I looked at Jimmy and said oh shit bro were in for a good night tonight and he agreed and said ok girls that's enough lets take that back to the room, you will have plenty of time for that.
We all walked outside and towards our room on the second floor, room 204. It's right here jimmy. He unlocked the door and we all went into the room and started talking and drinking and just having some fun.
It seemed as though the girls were in no mood for talk because almost as soon as we sat down they were back at it again but this time it got even more exciting. Jimmy and I sat down and were having a beer watching them get it on. I never seen Deb so excited before it was like she was a new women who just found her groove. It turned me on something fierce and I know Jimmy was turned on as well because I could see his thick penis bulging through his jeans. I didn't actually see his Cock but I kind of got the idea it was a big one and I know Deb was going to like having him inside her.
Deb and Dawn were laying on the bed all stretched out kissing each other and running there hands along each others body. Deb's hand reached down inside Dawns jeans to try and touch her moist wet pussy and Dawn had her hand up inside Deb's blouse touching her hard erect nipples. Soon that wouldn't be enough as Deb slowly unbuttoned Dawns blouse and exposed her size 36 c breasts. She had a real nice rack and my Cock started to throb while watching Deb lick her nipples while still rubbing her wet clit. Before long both girls were completely naked and Jimmy and I were about to explode. I looked over at Jim and he was rubbing his cock through his jeans so since he was bold enough I started rubbing myself as well. We didn't know how far the girls were willing to go with each other but sure found out quick enough because Dawn got up and turned around and started eating Deb's wet juicy pussy and Jimmy and I were about to blow a rod at this point but since they were having fun we felt let them explore just a bit longer.
Deb couldn't take much more, she was moaning so loud I think the people next door could hear them but we didn't care it was exciting and the louder the better was our motto. Deb returned the favor and now both were in the 69 position eating each other. Before long Deb pointed to both Jimmy and me to come join in the fun and, Dawn said take all them clothes off and get the hell over here the both of you. Well you don't have to call me late for dinner, off with the clothes like super man out to find the bad guy.
The girls both got on the floor on there knees kissing each other while waiting for us to undress. When we finally made it over Deb grabbed my hard erect cock and slowly licked the head of my penis and Dawn did the same to Jimmy. Deb turned to Dawn and said, You want to try some of my man's cock? and then both were sucking it together while each of there tongues were slowly licking the shaft of my cock, Deb deep throating me and then Dawn. Jimmy wanted some action and both girls started sucking him off as well while Deb was jacking me off at the same time to keep me satisfied.
I grabbed Deb and laid her down along the edge of the bed and kneeled down and started eating her wet pussy. Jimmy took advantage of the situation and did the same and now both girls were laying down side by side right next to each other, kissing and touching while we were eating 2 fine pussy's.
I was a little apprehensive at first about asking Jimmy if he like to taste My Women's Pussy but I wanted to taste Dawns pussy so bad that I didn't care and actually it be one hell of a turn on seeing another man eat my lady's hot wet pussy. So I said hey Jimmy it's time would you like to try some of this out? When he heard that I think his penis grew another 2 or so inches and that's when the swapping began.
He knelt down and took a real good look at her sweet pussy. I could tell he really was about to enjoy himself knowing fully well his wife was watching him eat another women and another man eat his wife. I knelt down before her pussy like I was about to receive communion at church, oh shit maybe I should retract that statement! I took a small little taste right around her man in the boat and she squirmed a little and that excited me as I looked up at Deb for reassurance that it was ok with her. Deb didn't seem to care, she was being satisfied and had enough to deal with because Jimmy was over there eating pussy like he was eating an apple pie or something. Dawn's pussy tasted so good, I just kept licking it and grabbing at it and pulling her lips with my teeth, then sticking my tongue inside her hole like as if I were fucking it with my cock!
Both women were so wet and the pure sexual nature of what we all were experiencing was so wild I could hardly hold myself back from exploding right then and there but I kept it at bay and made sure I controlled myself because this was going to be a long night.
I heard Deb telling Jimmy to fuck her now and that almost made me blow my load right then and there so Jimmy told her to turn around on the bed and get on all fours so he could fuck her from behind. Dawn was screaming louder than ever and wanted to be fucked real hard by me as well so I flipped her over and grabbed the back of her ass and started rubbing her firm round ass with both my hands, feeling her wet pussy and slowly rubbing my hard cock around her pussy just to tease her a little at first.
Jimmy started finger fucking Deb with 2 fingers and her pussy was exploding with her juices all over his fingers, then he stuck his finger in his mouth to taste her. I couldn't keep my eyes off them, the more he probed her the more I got off on all of this and now I plunged my hard erect cock inside Dawn's hot throbbing pussy, all the way down to my balls. In and out, faster and faster. She was screaming louder than ever and that made Jimmy real hot for Deb. He stuck his big massive cock inside My women's pussy and she let out a scream I never heard her do before and that made me want to fuck Dawn so fast I could hardy handle it all but when I felt the urge to explode I pulled it out and my cock did a little dance for a few seconds and all was good for a little longer. I plunged my cock back inside Dawn and thrusted deep inside her once again as she screamed in delight. Then I flipped her over on her back and started fucking her again, pulling my cock out and slapping it up against her man in the boat.
Jimmy laid down on the bed and Deb jumped atop of him and started riding his cock, her tits were bouncing up and down and as I saw the expression on her face, I knew she was enjoying every minute of this! Dawn asked me to go sit in the chair so she could ride me on top facing in the same direction. She got on top of me and propped her legs on top of my legs and slowly eased her pussy on my dick. She started riding me up and down while I could see deb laying on the bed watching both of us. Her pussy was so wet I could feel the juice running down my shaft. Oh god it felt so damn good and so erotic, we all were having the time of our lives.
I knew one of Deb's fantasies was to have two guys penetrate her at the same time so I got up and asked Jimmy if he would like both of us to get Deb at the same time? He was quick to respond with a yes, sure man no problem so Jimmy laid down on the bed and Deb jumped on top of him and slid her pussy down on his cock and I got up behind her and stuck my cock in as well. Two cocks in one pussy, oh hell yea, she was in heaven going up and down on Jimmy's cock while I was thrusting in and out. Dawn was playing with herself watching what Deb was getting and wanting some herself.
Soon it was Dawn's turn and I laid on the bed and Dawn jumped on top of me and slid her pussy down onto my hard cock. Jimmy got up behind her and stuck his cock in as well and we both fucked her hard and fast as we possibly could. I guess this must have gone on for a few hours now and knew it was almost time to blow our loads and the girls got back on there knees to suck us both off again but this time it was for the moment of truth. Deb took her tongue and started licking my shaft and it started twitching, Dawn took Jimmy's cock and started licking his head. I looked over and seen Jimmy grab his shaft and was jacking it off in Dawn's mouth, He started blowing his load all over her face and I could see she was enjoying each shot as she licked her lips and tasted his juice. she looked over at Deb as if to say, mm do you want to taste my man's cum? and without ever saying yes or no, Deb kissed Dawn while expelling Jimmy's juice into Deb's mouth. This made me want to explode and now I was ready to shoot my load all over the place so both girls got into position and I started blowing both of them right in there faces giving equal amounts to each and they finished it off by kissing each other and tasting my cum.
We all cleaned up and thanked each other for a most wonderful night and became good friends with benefits and now we meet every now and then for a real good time. Call us what you want, sluts, swingers what ever, all I know is we love each other just as much as before, we have a strong relationship, we just like to have good sex with other like minded couples. Most couple only dream about sex with another couple and we feel sorry for them because it's just a dream and not reality. So I say take the step towards freedom, I'm sure once you tried it and your marriage is healthy you will never be happier.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Video Guide Part 34
ABOVE: In this part, Phoenix and Ema talk with Detective Gumshoe about all the troubles Edgeworth is having because he used false evidence in court (even though he did not know the evidence was faked). I then start a serious discussion about using false evidence, pointing out important things such as "Edgeworth does not become a drunken hobo." There has been confusion on this topic thanks to Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, so I just wanted to make things clear for everyone. After this, Gumshoe talks about SL-9 / the Joe Darke killings because *everyone* in this part of the game talks about that. He refuses to let Phoenix and Ema into Chief Gant's office, because he could get fired.
ABOVE: In this part, Phoenix and Ema talk with Edgeworth. They find a letter of resignation that Edgeworth has written (oh no!), and they try to encourage him. Edgeworth tells the story of the origin of the Chinese word for "contradiction"--the story of the halberd and the shield. This is why the King of Prosecutors trophy is made up of a halberd and shield. At least...it used to be. All that's on the trophy nowdays is the shield. At the end, they leave Edgeworth and meet up with Angel Starr.
ABOVE: In this part, Phoenix and Ema talk with Angel Starr for the last time. She thinks that Chief Gant is responsible for much wrongdoing in the SL-9 case. They show Edgeworth's letter of resignation to Detective Gumshoe, which convinces him of the gravity of the situation. He lets them into Chief Gant's office, and our three heroes break into Chief Gant's private safe. Inside is some evidence that Gant has been keeping hidden.

[Translate to Polish:] Direct drive technology
[Translate to Polish:] EWT's gearless wind turbines
In EWT wind turbines, the rotor directly drives the synchronous generator, without the use of a gearbox. This is important because various independent studies have concluded that malfunctioning of gearboxes is the main cause of downtime. Also the absence of a gearbox reduces noise levels, and the noise of the generator is minimised by lowering the generator rotation speed by a factor of more than 100 versus a typical gearbox-type wind turbine.

It is such fun to introduce Roman to our friends! While we were in Chicago, Len trekked into town and we had a whirlwind reunion.
We walked to the end of the pier, downed the world's best nachos at Margaritaville, strolled the beach, had cocktails at The Signature Room 94 stories above downtown. It was a beautiful summer day in the Windy City.

mixed spring greens
The saga of the kitchen garden continues. It remains my favorite garden spot - confined, rustic, and eclectic. I am ignoring the shade, and the moss. As a matter of fact one of my small raised beds has become a moss covered japanese maple bed, right next to the soapstone water fountain. Everything is growing well. Radishes are mingling with roses. Clematis vines are entangling the plum branches, next to the jostaberries. Lettuce, spinach and arugula are rampant and delicious. The plum tree is laden with fruit, unfortunately most of them will drop before maturity due to lack of sunshine.
And today I planted my first potatoes. I was tearing up as I pushed the ugly nodes into their trenches. Potatoes were my later father's favorite crop. He was a master potato grower and each year he had a competition with a dear neighbor to see who could harvest the first sweet white new potatoes. All methods were allowed to secure the win... I miss pappa terribly, and I am thinking that my potato growing efforts would have made him proud.

moss covered
I love moss. I love the intricacy when you examen the plants up close. I love the soft texture and the brilliant hues. It is a lovely plant, much more appealing than grass. The problem is that my moss is most prolific in the kitchen garden, where sun loving vegetables, and cut flowers are supposed to grow. Every bed is covered with moss to some degree. Naturally the problem is a lack of sun, which will cause problems this growing season. Over time our once sun filled garden plot has become more and more shady, mostly from our neighbor's rampant growing trees. So it is time to rethink. More blueberries, and lettuce, less peppers and tomatoes? Suggestions anyone?

BluPoint goes global
Fri 15th April 2016
Catalyst graduate BluPoint continues to grow its global influence and awareness of its innovative off-grid content server for mobile phones. The BluPoint team has spent a considerable amount of time in Africa in recent months, attending meetings and conferences in Ghana and South Africa. In Johannesburg they ran a successful workshop funded and supported by the British High Commission on the issues of education in rural Africa and received very positive feedback on its solution to address these. In Cape Town, they exhibited as part of the UKTI delegation at the annual Indaba mining conference. Here, they met Cherie Blair and Baroness Scotland (soon to be Chief Executive of the Commonwealth). Peter Dingley, CEO, commented: "Both were impressed with the Company's vision and innovative technology which could see millions of people in underdeveloped regions benefit from access to vital information".
In Europe, Mike Santer (Founder) and Tristan Aubrey-Jones (Technical Lead), attended the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Mike commented: "There's a significant contrast between European and African requirements for mobile phones. In Europe, we are fixated on next generation smart phone capabilities yet a basic need for fast, free, relevant content has still not been achieved globally. 70% of the phones used in Africa are not smart and because of issues of cost of acquisition, power charging and data costs, smart phone adoption will not be on the same scale and they will not be used in the same way as seen in the western world. In my view it is more valuable to empower existing technologies that people have in their pockets to their full potential. While it can cost a day's wage to charge a cell phone and in some rural communities, people spend up to 70% of their income on mobile airtime, the potential that connectivity brings for education, healthcare and economic development is beyond the reach of those most in need. BluPoint aims to bridge this divide."
Back in the UK, the BluPoint team has completed a round of angel funding and appointed Steve Bedford, ex-COO of Storehouse plc as Executive Chairman. They are also in the midst of a recruitment drive to employ four more full time staff including software developers. It is an exciting time for the Company.

I just came across this article about the band Coldplay. Just who do they think they are? Apparently, if you manage to get a photography pass to one of their gigs, they will expect you to sign over all the copyright for any and all the pics that you take, to them.
Here is a quote from the website that brought this to my attention :
In case you hadn't noticed, most rock photographers aren't exactly rich. The fees they get for attending and photographing gigs are mostly risible. The only reason it's worthwhile is because they can resell the images later as stock photos.
In this case, Coldplay wants that revenue for itself. It wants to profit from the skill and talent of the photographers. Just how rich do these guys need to be?
This is part of a larger trend, one that involves no small amount of hypocrisy. One the one hand, photographers' clients are reducing fees, using amateurs (so-called citizen journalists, micro-stock etc). There's a strong implication that the skills and artistic talent of photographers isn't worth much - certainly not as much as it used to be.
I wonder what the band's reaction to the pro photogs was in the early days, when they wanted and needed all the publicity they could get?

Small businesses are growing more aware of the need to understand and implement at least the basics of SEO, search engine optimization. But if you read a variety of small businesses blogs and Web sites, you'll quickly see that there's a lot of uncertainty over what makes up "the basics." Without access to high-level consulting and without a lot of experience knowing what SEO resources can be trusted, there's also a lot of misinformation about SEO strategies and tactics.
This article is the second in a two-part SEO checklist specifically for small business owners and webmasters. Last week, I shared 20 "don'ts." Naturally, this week addresses the "Do's"—things to make sure you include whether you're hiring an SEO company or doing it yourself.
Small Business SEO Checklist: The Do's
1. Commit yourself to the process. SEO isn't a one-time event. Search engine algorithms change regularly, so the tactics that worked last year may not work this year. SEO requires a long-term outlook and commitment.
2. Be patient. SEO isn't about instant gratification. Results often take months to see, and this is especially true the smaller you are, and the newer you are to doing business online.
3. Ask a lot of questions when hiring an SEO company. It's your job to know what kind of tactics the company uses. Ask for specifics. Ask if there are any risks involved. Then get online yourself and do your own research—about the company, about the tactics they discussed, and so forth.

It's so quiet, Ive been at work last few days, but check in in the evenings and hardly any new posts. Is it because we're divided between OT and BT so not as many people to contribute or bounce off?

CHERYL L. KOESTER, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANTv.DENA SUE JOHNSON, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE
511 N.E.2d 262, 158 Ill. App. 3d 747, 110 Ill. Dec. 427 1987.IL.1053
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Macon County; the Hon. Warren A. Sappington, Judge, presiding.
APPELLATE Judges:
JUSTICE GREEN delivered the opinion of the court. McCULLOUGH and LUND, JJ., concur.
On August 12, 1985, plaintiff, Cheryl L. Koester, brought suit in the circuit court of Macon County against defendant, Dena Sue Johnson, seeking recovery for personal injuries arising from an automobile collision. After a trial by jury on September 29, 1986, the court entered judgment in the sum of $5,400 on a verdict in favor of plaintiff. The jury found plaintiff to have been damaged in the amount of $6,750 but found plaintiff's negligence to have been 20%. Plaintiff has appealed. Her only claim of error is that the circuit court should not have denied a peremptory challenge made by plaintiff as to one of the jurors sworn to try the case. Defendant responds by contending that: (1) any error was induced by plaintiff, (2) the ruling was not error under the circumstances; (3) plaintiff waived the error by not objecting at trial and not making specific reference to it in her post-trial motion; and (4) any error was harmless.
The peremptory challenge by plaintiff was made in the following course of jury selection. The court announced that "[we'll] select a jury in panels of four" but that six prospective jurors would be called to the box. The court stated that it would examine all six and then the lawyers were to ask questions of the four. However, when the court was through with examining the six, plaintiff proceeded to examine all six and peremptorily challenged two. He then tendered the four to the defendant, who challenged one and then told the court that the three were acceptable. The court then called three more jurors into the box and examined them. Then the defendant examined them, peremptorily challenged one and stated that she accepted and tendered the two. Plaintiff's counsel examined the two and announced, "We'll accept the panel as it now stands."
After a short recess, the court called five more jurors into the box, and they were examined by counsel for plaintiff, who then said, "We'll tender the panel." Defense counsel then questioned the five, during which time one juror was excused. Defense counsel then stated that the defense "[would] accept all four of these people on the panel." The court then recessed for lunch, after which five more jurors were called into the box. One was excused by the court and plaintiff's counsel then examined the remaining four. One of those prospective jurors was excused by the court for cause. Plaintiff's counsel then stated, "We'll tender the three." The defense properly peremptorily challenged two of those jurors, leaving only a Charlotte Loser from the group which the plaintiff had tendered. Three more jurors were then called into the box, whereupon the court then examined the three new jurors and Charlotte Loser. The court then excused one of that group of four. Defense counsel then began examining the remaining three jurors and excused one of them. Two more jurors were then called into the box and examined by the court and then by defense counsel.
During the course of the examination by defense counsel, Charlette Loser stated that she had been in a collision once where the vehicle she was in had been struck in the rear by another vehicle, and she had assumed that, under those circumstances, the driver of the rear vehicle was always ticketed. Defense counsel then peremptorily challenged one of the last two persons called into the box. Defense counsel then stated that he accepted and tendered the other three jurors. Plaintiff's counsel then began examining the remaining prospective jurors and, in the process, asked a question of Charlotte Loser. The defense then objected, asserting that the plaintiff had already accepted Loser. Plaintiff's counsel responded that he had a right to question and challenge Loser because "[a] panel has been broken." The court responded:
"I'm familiar with respect to the cases of back-striking. I thought when we started, we'd go by six and pick them as we go. That's my understanding, so, I'm going to hold that Mrs. Loser has been accepted.", Plaintiff had not exhausted her peremptory challenges at that time.
The record then recited that, at a side-bar conference between court and counsel while the jurors were present, plaintiff's counsel "indicated to the court" that "we'll be able to excuse Mrs. Loser" on the basis that a panel had been broken. The recitation stated that plaintiff took the position that "we would like to be able to excuse Mrs. Loser." The court then responded, "show the motion denied."
Section 21 of "An Act concerning jurors, and to repeal certain acts therein named" provides that in civil cases "the jury shall be passed upon and accepted in panels of four by the parties, commencing with the plaintiff." (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 78, par. 21.) This State has followed a rule of ancient origin whereby a panel has not been accepted until accepted by both sides, and, when a panel has been "broken," the party tendering the panel has a right to make further available peremptory challenges. (People v. Gray (1911), 251 Ill. 431, 96 N.E. 268; Mayers v. Smith (1887), 121 Ill. 442, 13 N.E. 216.) This right in civil cases is not affected by Supreme Court Rule 234 (107 Ill. 2d R. 234) providing for the voir dire examination of jurors. (See Ill. Ann. Stat., ch. 110A, R. 234, Historical and Practice Notes, at 488 (Smith-Hurd 1985).) Nor is it affected by Supreme Court Rule 434, which provides for a similar method of selection of jurors in criminal cases "unless the court, in its discretion, directs otherwise." 107 Ill. 2d R. 434; see People v. Moss (1985), 108 Ill. 2d 270, 483 N.E.2d 1252.
The record does not support the circuit court's contention that there had been any directive at the start of the case "to pick them as they go." The court stated that the jury would be selected in panels of four, but six jurors would be called into the box. The first group of jurors tendered by plaintiff was a panel of four. Any deviation from the usual practice was induced by the method of selection followed by the court. The plaintiff acceded to this to some extent in that groups of less or more than four were treated as a panel. Plaintiff never acceded to a procedure whereby each individual was treated as a panel. Notably, when the last group of three was called into the box, they joined Loser, who had already been examined by the court and had been part of the group examined and tendered by the plaintiff and examined by defendant. Nevertheless, the court addressed its subsequent questions not only to the three new prospective jurors but also to Loser. We must conclude that plaintiff neither induced a procedure whereby she lost a right to challenge a member of a tendered but broken panel nor otherwise waived such a right.
The appropriate procedure for plaintiff to have followed to raise the issue of her right to peremptorily challenge the juror Loser would have been to do just that and obtain a ruling on the challenge. We hold that the request she made of the court was, in effect, a challenge, and the court's response was a denial of the challenge. This issue was properly raised at trial. It was also properly preserved for review by plaintiff's post-trial motion. The first point raised in that motion stated that the court had denied the ...

Andy Murray is upset by Sam Querrey in the Wimbledon 2017 quarterfinals.
The toll of playing five matches caught up with him as he limped to just his second loss in eight meetings with the giant American. Today we will be able to watch all four of the matches, with the action starting out with Murray vs Querrey on Center Court and Muller vs Cilic on Court 1, followed by Raonic vs Federer on Center Court, and Berdych vs Djokovic on Court 1 directly after.
Querrey took full advantage to reach the first Grand Slam semifinal of his career - and the first for any American man anywhere since Andy Roddick was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2009.
"The whole tournament I've been a little bit sore", said.
"And Cilic, yes he will push him more, but I just feel Andy's mentality, being on Centre Court, and with his experience - Andy never lets any opportunities go".
Epa06083261 Sam Querrey of the United States of America celebrates winning against Andy Murray of Britain during their quarter final match for the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, in London, Britain, 12 July 2017.
"Querrey has had some long matches but he has a day off tomorrow to ensure an easy day and then get ready for Friday".
Kevin Feige Talks Marvel's 5 Movie Spider-Man Plan
In an interview with the Toronto Sun , Feige talked about the how Spider-Man's arc will be broken up across the movies. Under the watchful eye of mentor Tony Stark, Parker starts to embrace his newfound identity as Spider-Man.
Querrey will face either Gilles Muller of Luxembourg, who stunned Rafael Nadal in the fourth round, or former US Open champion Marin Cilic for a place in the final. I need to do all the right things and be even more diligent and professional than I have been recently.
"I did manage to win the third".
After cruising through the opening set he was a break up at 4-3 in the second before his afternoon dramatically unravelled, his movement and power seriously compromised.
The 30-year-old world number one had led by two sets to one, but was clearly suffering from an injury in the fourth set as his American opponent levelled the match. His face was contorted in obvious discomfort late in the match, including at one point in the fifth set when he bit the knuckle on his index finger.
"Before the tournament, it was very short-term thinking because you want to play Wimbledon", he added.
The Serb needed treatment at the end of the first set and was already dealing with a long-term right shoulder problem. "I'm sad it's over". Maybe I could have got the match done in three sets there had I closed out the second after getting the break. Federer was made to sweat a little in the third set and had to save four break points at 3-4 as Raonic finally began to hit his groundstrokes with more menace.

Within the next 12 months, over 100,000 people across the country will be diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor, an alarming statistic that former NFL star Garo Yepremian has been working to reverse. On Feb. 17, he is sponsoring Casino Night, a fund-raiser that encourages participants to roll the dice to support brain cancer research.
Yepremian's efforts began more than 10 years ago when his youngest son, Azad, learned that his 19-year-old girlfriend, Debby-Lu, had been diagnosed with an intrinsic brainstem glioma: an inoperable brain tumor. With Azad by her side — the two married despite the grim diagnosis — Debby-Lu received care from Jefferson Hospital's neuroscience program, turning a six-month prognosis into six years. She died at the age of 26, and her father-in-law created the Garo Yepremian Foundation to continue the fight against the disease in tribute.
Casino Night, one of the foundation's annual fund-raisers, will be held from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. at the Desmond Hotel in Malvern. Tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are $100 per person and include a buffet, margarita bar, casino chips, prizes and celebrity guest appearances.

James Franco Heads Back to ?General Hospital? [VIDEO]
James Franco is heading back to "General Hospital" to reprise his role.
A representative for ABC soap told TV Guide Magazine that Franco will be back on Sept. 20 for a "long term" story arc.
In the nearly 50-year-old soap, Franco plays a performance artist and serial killer Robert "Franco" Frank who has crush on the sexy hit man Jason Morgan, played by Steve Burton. Franco will be returning at a time when Jason is ready to marry Sam McCall, played by Kelly Monaco.
The ABC representative told TV Guide Magazine that this is Franco's "most twisted plan yet" and that he'll likely be pulling other characters into his web. Those characters could include Maxie Jones, played by Kirsten Storms, and Carly Jacks, whose character is played by Laura Wright, and her baby Josslyn.
Franco started on "General Hospital" in 2009, and had a two-day cameo in February.
This fall, Franco will open on Broadway opposite Nicole Kidman in a remake of Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth.
Check out Franco in action below.

It's Friday and most people I know who work hard want to get hammered drunk, but just getting wasted on a Friday night doesn't work anymore when you hit forty eight, at least for me anyway. It would have been fine if I had the foresight to know that moderation keeps you from burning up your liver too quickly so you can enjoy the liquor longer. But I didn't, so drinking makes me sick longer than it allows me to enjoy the intoxication effects. It just doesn't work anymore like it once did because I drank too much too often, and now it feels like a kind of booze impotence.
Word of advice: limit yourself to three drinks with dinner once a week until you retire, then you can afford to get totally sloshed and maintain a total drunken stupor all day in your boxer shorts and black sock straps as you parade your lawnmower across your front lawn right as the kids across the street get off the school bus.

A simple and human-readable configuration / data storage format, presently used by the Leebre project's in .sbstyle template files. Similar to ini-style configuration but with HEREDOC style multiline fields.
The format looks like this:
[entry] name = alice [entry] # A comment! name = bob age = 42 bio : EOF many lines of stuff EOF [anotherthing] fields can have spaces = see? bio : EOFA lets have EOF by itself EOFA
It provides two functions, clearconf.loads and clearconf.dumps.
Loads will load a string, returning a dictionary. An optional
index_by will add a new "index", so things like:
[Entry] id=123 name=test123

Frederick Griffith
Frederick Griffith (1879-1941), who was born in Hale, Cheshire County, England and who attended the Liverpool University, was a British bacteriologist whose focus was the epidemiology and pathology of bacterial Pneumonia. In January, 1928 he reported what is now known as Griffiths Experiment, the first widely accepted demonstration of bacterial transformation, where a bacterium distinctly changes its form and function. Griffith succumbed to his death around the year 1941 due to the air raid.
His Purpose and what he derived?
Griffith showed that Streptococcus pneumonia, could transform from one strain into a different strain. The observation was attributed to an unidentified transforming principle of transforming Factor. This was later identified as the stuff of life "DNA"
The Experiment
Griffith's experiment, reported in 1928, was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation. Griffith went about deriving his results by means of using two strains of Pneumoccocus (Streptococcus pneumonia) bacteria which he used to infect several mice. A type smooth strain and a type rough strain. The smooth strain has its components covered by a polysaccharide capsule, which gives it the ability to live in adverse conditions and divide rapidly through a process called Binary fission. Adverse conditions in the context of this experiment would mean "protection from white blood cells" The third line of defense's inability to phagocytize the bacteria subsequently results in the death of the mice because the capsule accommodates for the rapid growth of the same cell. Bacterial cells usually have a target organ to which it chooses to disintegrate, and in the case of abundance, the more the number of bacterial cells the more likely the host is going to succumb to it death.
How the Experiment was Set up?
The experiment was set up by means of...

Ming's Seafood in Malden opened in February on the very busy Plesant Street and this was my first visit to check out their lunch offerings.
There is only on-street parking and it can be hard to find a spot since Pleasant Street is littered with restaurants. I lucked out and found a spot just outside and parking in Malden is free.
The inside was nice and bright and fairly busy at lunch today. Obligatory fish tank in the back. Trivia: This is Picture #5000 since I bought the refurbished Canon S110 in Jan of '15.
It turns out that they don't do lunch but they do Dim-Sum from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and then they serve from the regular menu. They had three carts going around, actually four but the fourth one was for liquid foods, like congee, etc. The selection was pretty good with all the usual suspects available.
The beef meatball with the accompanying black vinegar was good and tasty.
Shrimp dumplings with perfectly cooked shrimp and with a nice thin wrapper were also tasty.
The must have pork spare ribs with black beans is always a favorite and it didn't disappoint.
Perfectly executed shumai that had the required shrimp on top was delightful. Not sure what the item prices were but I got charged for two medium ($3.35 each) and two large ($3.85 each). All the dishes was good sized and I have plenty of leftovers but I think I prefer Yong Yong in Malden for Dim-Sum since there you order from a menu and the items are brought out to you fresh and they start at $2.99 during the week. Parking is also much easier on Ferry Street.

Our ongoing look back at sci fi / fantasy TV shows that were cancelled way too soon or pilots that never made it to series.
For a very brief six weeks in early 1993, this enjoyable little series about misfit-yet-tough-as-nails space rangers defending the galactic frontier appeared on CBS's Prime Time schedule. It definitely served a healthy portion of cheese with its sci fi and borrowed liberally from other genre sources, but it also didn't take itself too seriously and was just good fun. But even though original sci fi shows were thriving in the syndication market at that time (and would shortly take a big step forward with the arrivals of Babylon 5 and Star Trek: Deep Space 9 that same year), the Big 3 broadcast networks (FOX hadn't quite become a force yet) had little tolerance for the genre. Space Rangers was definitely out of place on the broadcast net Prime Time schedule and it didn't help that CBS cast it to the Wednesday 8 PM EST hour where they had struggled for years. The series was cancelled shortly after its debut and only six total episodes were produced. Interestingly, though, it was well received internationally and that eventually resulted in all six of its episodes getting released on VHS (link provided to the Wikipedia entry for those younger viewers unfamiliar with that term) making it one of the first short-lived TV shows to get a full release on home video. And just recently the show finally made it to DVD in the States, so those who missed it can get a look at this failed flirtation with space opera from the broadcast networks that deserved better than the short run it received.
