Research In Motion's BlackBerry retained its lead as the top smartphone platform, while Google's Android has registered a significant gain in market share. Those are some of the conclusions from a new survey released Thursday by market researcher comScore.
The survey compared trends in the U.S. mobile-phone industry during the three-month period ending in May, compared to the previous three-month period ending in February. Leading mobile original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and smartphone operating system platforms were assessed among wireless subscribers aged 13 and older.

text: Despite warnings of rain and possible snow, my lady Sharon and I took a trip up to Durango, Colorado this past weekend to spend a bit of time on the Durango and Silverton Railroad. In the past we have made this trip on our motorcycle but due to the weather warnings, this time we drove the car. During the weekend we chased both #480 and #486. Here is a brief video Sharon shot of Durango and Silverton #480 as it makes it way from Durango up to Silverton. We first see the consist leaving downtown Durango then we caught the train at various crossings. We raced it to Hermosa then see it coming around the bend as it entered Rockwood. In the final scene we see some smoke in the distance, hear it whistling through the Silverton station and make it's way around the bend and head into the town of Silverton. While I was off to one side or another shooting stills, this video was shot hand held by my lady Sharon with a camera she had never used before of the railroad she has really grown to love. For best viewing set this video to HD. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1114902475245885

The Poem
(Critical Guide to Poetry for Students)
"The K" is a lyric poem of twenty-six lines written in free verse. It interprets the letter K as a physical symbol of the fully realized human being who, in harmony with the moon's gravitational force, moves beyond conventional limitations conditioned by Western civilization and bridges the gap between the subjective and the objective and between the self and the natural realm of total reality.
The escape from the partitioning of reality characteristic of the modern Western mind to the attainment of a wholeness of being marked the principal aim of Charles Olson's art and thought. As he stated about ultimate human aspirations in The Special View of History (1956), "each one of us has the desire for the good (Love), we move to beauty (Aphrodite), we care for the Real (Truth or Idea), and we have to do something about it, whatever we do (we Will)." Poetry is meant to assist humanity in the process of such self-realization by reimagining the world, reorienting readers, and thereby dissolving the separation between the delimited self and the outer, total reality.
The poem begins with an energetic and upbeat interpretation of "The K" as, literally, an alphabetical symbol of the "tumescent I" that is the fully realized self in harmony with the external natural force of the moon acting on the tidal energies and potentialities of a human being. The upward linear stroke of the letter K represents the flowing out of...

Dulcimer | Rockwell Dulcimer FAQ |
email: email@example.com
In the email newsletter I send out once or twice a month, I asked if there were any subscribers who wanted to work on their very own versions of the D-A-Bm-G or "Light Into Darkness Chords." So I sent out a group of 3 emails to this small group, and got some encouraging responses from a few subscribers. Here are the emails and their respective links:
Light Into Darkness Ensemble Version from 2008:
Light Into Darkness in C (with sub-cycles on each main chord) from 2016:
....and some TABs I have compiled over a long period for these chords:
Fingerpicking Exercises on Light Into Darkness:
Solo on Light Into Darkness from 2011 - 2 pages:
Last email in this little series was all about my various journeys and adventures around D-A-Bm-G -- now I want to get YOU playing and trying things in your own personal way, and I want to deal with some philosophical things that have been bouncing around inside my head for more than a week, and I think they might help you and free you up a bit:
1.) It is actually much more difficult to give ourselves permission to do something original and creative with music than many people think: there would be MANY more people making music every day on a huge variety of instruments and electronic gear if this were not the truth. Music "talent" and who gets it is a subject of many books and discussions in our current society. It is fair to say that some people feel "left out" and there are many, many reasons for this. If you are playing the dulcimer - to any extent at all - you are MILES ahead of the general public for one very good reason: the dulcimer is the most WELCOMING instrument I can think of.... we are all so lucky to be playing an almost magical instrument where most anything we play sounds decent, and our dulcimer community is usually set up to let us share our joy in a whole variety of ways. I've been a guitar player for even more years than I've played dulcimer, and I can guarantee you that there is no analog in the guitar world, even today (the uke craze is an exception, but that is very big and complex and has a lot of different dimensions).
2.) Try to suspend judgement if you can when you are just trying things - fire your inner critic! Don't worry about perfection or precision: just let your most natural rhythms flow. Everything will come together as you work on this over time. Remember: the point of almost everything we're doing here is to have FUN!!! Enjoyment comes first!
3.) I think it might help if you just start playing these chords in the simplest way you know how. I often start with chords in the first 3 or 4 frets. You can play all the chords you'll ever need for the diatonic key of D Major in these lower frets, so why not?
4.) All of my ramblings that you got access to were in some form of 4/4 - so YOU should do something ELSE!!! Try 3/4, 6/8, 9/8, or 12/8 -- and if you need help in setting any of these up just ask me and I will give you a measure or two for a template. Sometimes if I'm in a 12/8 sort of groove, what I come up with is almost like boogie-woogie or shuffle-blues. This is not a genre-specific exercise, so let your imagination go wild - there is no LID or LIMITS here! (I know how uncomfortable that makes some people - it is a sudden pulling of your comfort zone right out from under you! If you can learn to be with this uncertainty and fear of the unknown for a while, you may be amazed at the possibilities!). And just because MY music is meditative, dreamy, mesmerizing, and sleep-inducing DOESN'T MEAN YOURS HAS TO BE!!!!
5.) Try to get your music out in the OPEN AIR. I do everything on a laptop with headphones and sometimes I just want to go outside and do some primal screaming, though I hold back because that would positively terrorize the local cat population!! :-) -- But what I'm saying here is try to figure out a way you can record the back up chords and then try some melodic playing over them. Use your computer and loop the backup chords and you can have so much FUN! Its not that you can't learn something by playing your dulcimer solo, but that is really an old-fashioned way to learn any musical instrument today: we have ready access to all sorts of recording options and we should take advantage of them!
I had a chance to do some back-up chords for you to play along with, and I took my own advice on finding different time signatures:
So try playing along with these in your own individual way - just see what happens, and if you get an idea from this stuff, feel free to go off on your own tangent entirely: record your own version and then try playing along with YOUR backup. I guarantee 100% that you will enjoy this process once you get started!
Here is a set of chord reference charts listed in the order that we play them. The top chart on each chord gives you the actual pitches, and the bottom chart tells you where the Root (R), 3rd, and 5th are. This is incredibly important as you progress in your musical understanding. For now just try to be aware of where the Root of each chord is located - everywhere it is found. This will help a LOT!!

I'd love to hear how you are doing with this project, so don't be shy if you have questions or want to share your experiments!
Thanks for being part of this project!!

Did you think it was just you and your partner who were going out for that delicious meal after a hectic week? Little did you know that she had booked a table for three – you, her and her mobile phone.
While it's true that mobile phones have become an integral part of modern life, there is nothing less romantic than the appearance of the little device right in the middle of an interesting conversation.
Many recent studies have been conducted examining how phones affect relationships. Some suggest that expanding the channels of communication has had a positive influence since people are likely to feel more secure when they are in touch with others more often.
On the other hand, some believe that when one partner is constantly on their phone or distracted by different notifications, it can have a negative impact on the relationship.
Couples also feel they have to constantly compete for their partner's attention or that many of their discussions now revolve around social media posts or application- related topics.
Even though we pretend that we're still paying attention, our divided consciousness, in the long run, seriously undermines the depth and strength of our intimate bond. If this happens frequently enough, there are a number of consequences that are likely to follow such as arguments or conflict about phone usage, feeling neglected and ignored, a decline in the quality of conversations, and trust and insecurity issues.
It's no surprise that one partner may finally get so fed up that they make their loved one choose between them or the mobile magnet!
Due to the negative impact of these devices, it seems they can cause problems, even if they're not being used. In 2014, Virginia Tech psychologist Shalini Misra and her colleagues examined the interactions of 100 couples in a coffee shop.
They found an interesting pattern emerging known as 'the iPhone Effect' – the mere presence of a smartphone, even when on the table and not in use, degrades private conversations, making partners less willing to talk or to disclose deep feelings and less understanding of each other.
The excessive dependency and attachment to our devices are a cause for concern. However, smartphones are here to stay so instead of feeling defeated, there are a number of ways to use them mindfully in order to avoid damaging relationships.
Here are a few smart 'smartphone' practices:
Set a period of time during the day that is completely mobile free
Speak to your partner about how he or she feels about your mobile phone usage and habits
When out for meals together or with friends, agree to leave mobile phones in the car or bags so your evening isn't constantly interrupted
Turn off unnecessary notifications
Make a commitment to charge your phone in another room at least one hour before going to bed
Don't be secretive with your phone
Agree to discuss serious matters face-to-face, rather than via email or text
The good news is that we have a choice about continuously connecting virtually or to communicate in person. Perhaps knowing what some of the negative outcomes of excessive mobile phone habits are will help you and your partner make better decisions.
Ultimately, mobile phones should bring you closer to those far away, not take you away from those close to you.

Leader of Vinamilk and Chinese partner signed the deal
The signing between Vinamilk and the Chinese partner was witnessed by senior leaders of the two countries, and leaders of related ministries and branches.
Vinamilk is Vietnam's biggest dairy company and among the World's Top 50 diary firms in revenue.
The company's products meet international standards and are not only favoured in the domestic market, but also exported to 43 countries around the world like the US, Japan, Middle East, Thailand and the Philippines.
It owns 13 factories in Vietnam and three in the US, New Zealand and Cambodia, with 10 dairy farms across the country with all breeding stock imported from Australia, the US and New Zealand. In 2016, the firm's export revenue reached USD258 million. Over the past two years, its export turnover of 100% fresh milk grew 70% per year.
Meanwhile, China is a very big market with a total dairy value of more than USD30 billion per year. Thus, Vinamilk hopes that the deal would lay the premise for exports of dairy products to China in the near future as the two-side trade agreement is signed./.

Review: Jardin condominium
One obvious bad thing about the Jardin was the name. Jardin means garden in French. But this is Singapore, not France. Even if you knew how to pronounce it, whenever you take a taxi or tell your non-French-speaking friends (how many of these do you have?) where you live, you'll probably have to pronounce it in Singlish: Jar-deen.
The gym is at the ground level, with no view. I'm sure people will have fun exercising while facing the 3 walls and the glass door which faces a staircase.
The units available for sale are the lofts, i.e. double-storey apartments. The small sacrificial units which face the busy cross junction and flyover are fully sold.
The lofts are seperated from the road by a good distance. The glass on the windows do filter out the noise effectively: I could not hear the traffic noise from inside the house at all. But this means that you'll have to close the windows and turn on the aircon 24x7 if you don't want noise and dust in your house.
We viewed 2 lofts: a 3+study and 3+1.
The area outside the loft is a like a shared garden. It's "free" space which buyers don't pay for. There's a shared roof top garden with spa, swimming pool and dining area for the residents. They can get an unobstructed view of the busy road and flyover.
The design of the lofts were rather weird. I didn't bring my camera but here's the floorplan that I got from the singaporeexpats website.
When you come in through the main door, you have the laundry room right in front of you. This is bad fengshui because all the qi from the maindoor goes straight into the laundry room. (But if you have the money to buy this loft, maybe you don't need more luck). On one side is the kitchen, on the other side is the study or the +1 room. You have to walk through either side to get to the living room.
Kitchen is spacious but impractical because the sink is across an open floor from the stove (people who do cook will appreciate the reason why you want the sink on the same platform: you won't want water dripping on the floor in between). There's a sliding glass door to separate the kitchen from the living room.
The living room is spacious with high ceiling. I was told that the flooring is marble. I noticed long cracks along 3 tiles near the staircase. I pointed it out and the salesman said that those tiles will be replaced before handing over to the owner. I wonder about the quality of materials used. The living room faces the swimming pool belonging to the condo behind. There's a small balcony, and small private grass patch which we were told was not counted in the floor area and therefore "free".
The storeroom, cleverly located at the midway of the staircase, has a high ceiling and is great for storing sport equipment like fishing rods and golf clubs.
The masterbedroom faces the neighbouring condo's swimming pool. The 3+study has a built-in wardrobe and a built-in cabinet both from laminate wood. I was surprised that solid wood was not used. I would expect an upmarket condo like this one to provide top-quality wardrobes. 3+1 has walk-in a wardrobe with glass doors: do buy black and white clothes only and keep the wardrobe neat!
The glass bathrooms doors are facing the bedroom doors. Remember to close the bedroom door if you use the toilet! The toilet in the 3+1 is separated from the bedroom only by glass walls. So your partner can see you shower and do your business daily. What's worse, the glass is just normal class, not tempered glass. If you slip and fall onto the glass wall/door, the entire glass panel will shatter, unlike tempered glass that will only crack up. The bathroom flooring is not the non-slip type. People who have the tendency to throw things around when they are angry should avoid living here.
The 2 bedrooms share 1 bathroom. The windows face the main road. The rooms are quiet as long as the windows are closed. There are beams and pillar sticking out of the walls. It is bad fengshui for occupants to sleep on beds with beams and pillars sticking out at them. The wardrobes are made of laminate wood.
The maid's room, facing the bathroom on the first level, is the bomb shelter under the staircase. It fits a tiny bed.
The 3+1 and 3+study freehold lofts cost more than S$3.5M each at $2,2xx per square foot (PSF) after discount. But there's alot of "free" space for residents to use. In my opinion, the "free" space serves to confuse buyers about the effective PSF price.
My friend asked a salesman why someone should buy this condo and not landed property. His response was that when living in a condo, neighbours would be foreigners and the unit can be re-sold to foreigners who don't qualify to buy landed property. Well, the way the wealth of the world, I won't be surprised to find that most of the foreigners living in that condo are the ones who pronounce its name as Jar-deen.
For S$3.5M, I don't understand why they can't use solid wood instead of Ikea-quality boards for the wardrobes, tempered glass for the bathroom walls and kitchen door, run more piping so that the kitchen sink can be on the correct side, and marble tiles of better quality.
I know I sound overly critical but I think it's so NOT worth it to pay that price for that kind of quality, design, location and fengshui. Or maybe I'm just sour grapes because I can't afford to buy it :o|

|Separate WC's
|3,005 sq ft
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Adventure! Fish, Swim, kayak, Surf, from the property.
Check in is at 4pm and out at 10am. You will have to go shopping. No goods are guaranteed to be in the home
Beautiful location nestled between the mouth of the river and the ocean at Honolii Beach. The River House is a rustic family style home which has 180 degree views starting with the river then panning out over the ocean and is only 5 minutes from Hilo.
Enjoy your morning coffee in the living room or lanai looking out at the river or the ocean! Have a picnic on the lawn in the magnificent nature Hawaii is known for.
You can enjoy from the River House all sorts of water sports including Kayaking, Stand-Up Paddling, Surfing, Boogie Boarding and Swimming.
The home will sleep 12 and has an open floor plan. The kitchen has old world charm with copper counter tops and a butcher block counter by the stove. The rear of the house has a very large family room and bay windows. Perfect for a traveling halau for practice and sleeping! (The family room measures approximately 375 sf or approximately 25 feet long by 15 feet deep and also sleeps 6.) The view of the river is astonishing from these windows!
The first floor has a guest bedroom; this room sleeps 2 and has a queen size bed. Also located on the first floor is a powder room and full bath and a large Bedroom with 3 double beds. The master and another guest bedroom are upstairs. The master bedroom is very large with sweeping views of the river and ocean and an en suite full bath. A king size bed is in both the master bedroom and guest bedroom upstairs.
We enjoyed our stay at the Honoli'i River House. I highly recommend this property to others. Booking was easy, the location was perfect. Being close to Hilo town was important, just in case we needed to get more shopping done. The weather was perfect, we loved waking up to a beautiful sunrise and having close access to the beach. I will definitely stay here again! Looking into booking once a year. Thank you Tammy!
It was an really special time there!! Close to a big Hotspot for Surfers to meet them an see how Pro does! Some Days you can see 30 peoples outside who waiting for the perfekt Waves. We enjoy every day. The weather was crazy some hours Rain and then comes the Sun again.. nice home with huge space! We was 8 Peoples from Switzerland hope we see us again
Be sure to bring extra amenities you need as there isn't much at the home, but otherwise very comfortable. Clean and well cared for Hawaiian home. The property is fantastic and it's a great family alternative to a hotel.
My family and I loved our time here! Everything was great: communication from the host, price, location, amenities, etc. The house is beautiful and has gorgeous vistas from just about every room. The highway is NOT a big deal at all. You will be out and about during the day when it is the busiest and at night, minimal traffic is just another white noise, often drowned out by the sound of the beach next door.
The only 2 faults I could find were kitchen utensils (another reviewer mentioned this as well) and towels. While there is ALMOST everything you could need to cook up a great meal, there were some things missing, such as lids for the pots and pans. However, in general, we had no problems cooking breakfasts and a few dinners at the house (pro tip: check out the farmer's market for ingredients and save a few bucks cooking a few of your own meals!). Likewise, there ARE plenty of towels, but every single one of them smelled like mildew. I totally understand that in a humid climate this can happen but even after laundering them several times and being careful to dry them after use, they were still a little funky.
Overall, this is an amazing place to stay. We enjoyed it tremendously and would recommend this house to anyone!
Really enjoyed the old plantation style home and decor. The surrounding huge windows place you right in the stream, ocean & rain. It stormed last night with huge thunder and flashing lightning. We felt sheltered, protected and comfortable.
Will plan to come back again.
This was perfect for my family of six.
The River House is located 100 yards from Honolii Beach and 5 minutes from downtown Hilo. Honolii Beach is the premier surfers' beach on Eastside of the Big Island. Downtown Hilo offers quaint shopping and a taste of international cuisine from our local restaurants. Downtown Hilo is also the home of the Farmer's Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Must see attractions while in Hilo include:
- Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots is Hilo's most popular wall fall – a MUST see.
- The Lyman Museum offers a in depth history of the Hawaiian Islands and the culture of the Islands.

The Golden State Warriors Are Girlie Men Who Shoot Jumpers, And Other Moments Of Deep Hurting
|Does Not Analyze The NBA
> Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson went 6 for 11 from the freaking free throw line. They shoot about 90% regularly. And all of the misses hurt, as the Dubs were trying to get out of a game-long hole.
> Marreese Speights went 3 of 7 from the floor in a little more than five minutes, then got hurt, because that's just how this series is going for the Dubs so far.
> The club shot 6 for 26 from the three point line. It's only the best shooting team in recent NBA history, and for the past two games, they've missed enough open looks to make me wonder if we've secretly replaced them with members of the 2013-15 Sixers.
> Andrew Bogut gave them 2-8-2 in 21 minutes while Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph dominated, and while the plus/minus didn't call him the worst player on the floor, the eye test sure as hell did. I'm kind of hoping he's hurt, that's how bad he was.
> No member of the Dub bench, which was the best in the NBA by a fairly wide margin this year, had a positive plus/minus in this game.
The game got a little bit close for the Grizz in the second half, because their offense stalled, and there's only so many minutes that Metal Face Mike Conley can go right now... but they don't have to go anything more than win two of the next four games, two of which are at home, to close things out. They are getting the bounces and makes that winning teams get -- more than a few crazy bank shots, more than a few back-breaking loose balls and Tony Allen Hero Plays on defense -- and the wind is in their sails.
If the Dubs can't pull it together and win Game Four on Monday, probably without Speights and against a better every game Conley -- the best regular season team in decades is going home a whopping round later than last year. In a season where everything has gone their way, and against a team that, honestly, has no shot at winning it all, because they bog down on offense, don't shoot threes well enough to have a margin for error in games when they aren't getting all the loose balls et al...
And this is where math and nerdery seems to fall sway to small sample sizes and Grit, because the Dubs are said to be a Jump Shooting Team, and thereby Not Manly or Aggressive or whatever. The Grizz are able to slow the game down and play volleyball with rebounding, and that's more playoff and manly.
So the playoffs are working out just like the last 30 years, and I'm just going to go drink now, because if this somehow winds up as a Grizz-Bulls rock fight, when we could have had something far more watchable...
Well, that's not how the best playoff season in NBA history would end now, is it?

Brain Weary
Information overload was the game of the day... my head was spinning until lunchtime with all the fact sheets thrown at me....and the names and faces....like I am going to remember it all...doh!
Then when I said something about it....my new boss said....well you know most of it anyway....WHAT!?! Where oh where did she get that idea? I know nothing....nothing....nothing..nothing
After lunch though....I was sitting there at this humongous desk...I mean the desk in my new office was made for King Kong....I can't even reach all the way across it.....and a scene from Seinfeld popped into my head.....George is wanting to nap at work....so he creates this space under his desk....and I thought would they know if I disapeared? I had been sitting there for about an hour...reading, and reading, and reading, and reading....and I just couldn't take it anymore....I really did want to crawl under the desk and hide.
And the weirdest things kept going through my head....I kept worrying about my old job...in fact at 7:30 this morning I put in a call to my old admin asst to call a few clients for me, in case I had forgotten to remind them of schedule changes....talk about not being able to let go......then this afternoon, I still wanted to call, I wanted to make sure everything had gotten done that was supposed to be done there....I hope that goes away once they get my replacement hired....I kept having this nightmarish vision of going in on Wednesday night and all the schedules are totally messed up...and I will only have 2 hours to fix them.....
I know why...even though I was trying to absorb information....I am so used to my mind buzzing a million miles an hour to solve problems....and it wasn't happening today...I am an adrenalin junky...and I missed my fix today.....
Tomorrow is another day.....more information...I am more nervous about tomorrow than I was today...Ggggrrrrrr!

I know what you mean about getting stuck in....it's been a while but I hated that first week at a new job when you were just supposed to read up about stuff *L* and all you want to do is get cracking
Didn't George also have a set of half ping pong balls with eyeballs drawn on them? *L*
you'll be fine...better than fine...and you will absolutely shine in the shortes time, I'm so sure of it.
My desk is so deep I actually have a spare chair under it in the corner *L*....when we did our office renovation and image enhancement, we had to standardise all chairs....I had been a swopper girl until then and had a bright blue stool on a big spring (www.swopper.com) but now I'm in a bog-standard grey/black corporate doo-lally *L*
Something is on the way to you for your desk!!!

I have had two fathers in my life: one maybe blew a Beatle or something, and had a Frenchy sort of name; the other was Fidel Castro. He was a baseball enthusiast, and a maestro of the jumpsuit, but most of all he was a leader.
Tears flow like syrup in Canada's capital city of Toronto today, all in memory of a man who loved Cuba, and who was in turn loved so much by Cubans that they went forth in leaky boats and homemade rafts just to tell the world about him. His popularity was such that you never saw a negative article about him in the Cuban press.
Did Fidel Castro ever have an enemy? Not for long.
As a small and handsome child, I went with my "father" to meet Papa (I called Fidel Castro "Papa") and we hit it off. I remember Papa saying to me that we "went together like homosexuals and firing squads," and then he gave me a cigar and a 1952 Packard Clipper.
Once more, 2016 strikes at our best and humbles the hearts of those that thought themselves mighty.
FIDEL! the world cries.
EL PRESIDENTE! Cuba weeps.
Papa, I sob.

A Natural Language and Graphic Interface: Results and Perspectives from the Acord Project (Research Reports Espirit : Project 393 Acord, Vol 1)
This book presents important results from the ESPRIT Project 393 "Construction and Interrogation of Knowledge Bases Using Natural Language Text and Graphics" (ACORD). The project involved more than fifty people over five years, and included industrial and academic partners from three countries. The main result of the project is a highly sophisticated human-machine interface allowing the construction and interrogation of a common knowledge base in English, French, and German, using both natural language and graphics. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the project. Chapters 2-4 develop specific issues concerning the grammar models used (functional grammars and unification categorial grammars). Chapter 5 discusses anaphora resolution and Chapter 6 text generation. Chapter 7 explains the integration of text and graphics, and Chapter 8 discusses the knowledge base module. The contributions are theoretically oriented and strongly concerned with generalization and the underlying background of potential further developments.

AN: I told y'all the next one would be porn. :D
This, as you can see by the "part one of two" was going to be much longer, but for some reason, this fic would _not_write. I had it in my head, but once I actually started to type, it just sputtered and died. I probably spent about an hour muttering "Write, damn you, write! WHY WON'T YOU WRITE YOU FILTHY ROTTEN FILTHFIC, WHY YOU-"
So, fun times. It was getting late, and I have a headache and a dishwasher to empty, so I cut it in two and will follow up with the rest reasonably soon.
Sublimation: 01
"You know, you aren't doing yourself any favors, acting like this," Kabuto said and pinched her clit hard.
Hinata didn't answer, but he never thought she would: she swallowed instead, her legs trembling a little as his hand continued to move. He glanced at the clock, then added another finger to the two already inside her.
She whimpered and her hips bucked against his hand, once before she managed to get herself back under control. It was a visible struggle and not a very lovely one.
Kabuto's eyes narrowed and he bit back a sigh. "Arching into my hand? One would almost think that you want to come," he said, and twisted his wrist just so to reach a certain spot inside that almost always sent her over the edge. He brushed it as lightly as he could and Hinata yelped.
He cut into her cry with a sharp "Not until I say so! Or you'll be quite sorry otherwise," then removed his fingers, folded his arms and stared at her. "You're just not very good at holding out, are you? If I were torturing you for information, I'd have all of Konoha's secrets in less than fifteen minutes. I thought all kunoichi were trained in this, but you come far, far too easily, Hinata-chan."
"I-I'm sorry," she whispered, eyes clenched shut. Her breasts rose and fell with each deep, heavy breath and Kabuto watched them with appreciation until he reminded himself that this was training, not pleasure. As nice as it was to overwhelm Hinata with orgasms until she could barely think or stand, her lack of control in this area was a glaring weakness that he simply could not abide: the fact that it also cut out several pleasant games that Kabuto wanted very much to play with her was simply added motivation for helping her correct it. She'd probably conditioned herself into it, given the limited privacy of the Hyuuga estates, but he was reasonably certain she could be retrained to overcome it.
She had shown limited progress from their previous sessions: this was the third so far, and while she was getting better, she was simply not doing it quickly enough. The cornerstone of their agreement was that she would strive to please him in all ways and she mostly succeeded, but even though she seemed to be more than willing to learn in this, her practical application was lacking.
Enough: the clock was ticking.
He knelt and blew lightly over her clit, then lapped teasingly at her folds, running his fingers between them. Hinata moaned and the cot creaked as she thrashed.
"You're soaking wet," he whispered against her clit, then licked it gently. "You just can't hold out, can you? Do you like me that much?"
"No, you don't like me?"
"NO! N-no." Her breaths were hitching in a way that sounded less like orgasm and more like tears. "I-I c-can't...Y-you're t-too g-good and I-I'm j-just n-not...I-I'm s-sorry," she whispered and covered her face with her hands. Through the wall of her fingers, a sob slipped out.
Oh, not good. This is much too soon.
While he certainly enjoyed pushing and tormenting and twisting his cute little doll's boundaries, the last thing he wanted or needed was for her to reawaken her formerly crippling fears of failure and humiliation and start binding them to the idea of sex with him: it would not only undo everything he had managed to accomplish so far, but blight all his future efforts as well. Pain was a nothing to her, but not being up to the task, not being skilled enough, not pleasing him--that way danger lies.
And how it must burn for her, being only quite good in a lair full of geniuses.
He sighed and used his dry hand to push his glasses back up on his nose. "Well. Barely twenty minutes, but it's the longest you've managed to go so far. It's disappointing, but you are right. In a way."
Hinata's fingers slipped apart, just slightly.
"If someone had been crippled all their life and only just had their legs restored to them, you'd hardly expect them to be able to run a marathon right away, correct? And, well, you weren't really trained intensively for this like the other kunoichi: no seduction missions allowed for the heir of the Hyuuga. So, it's not surprising that you're having trouble. " He nuzzled against her inner thigh, the skin warm and soft against his cheek and gave that soft, pretty skin a cheerful nip. "But you get better every time and that's what counts, isn't it? I'll have you resisting me for hours on end yet."
She lowered her hands so that they no longer covered her eyes; the newly revealed skin was swollen and blotchy. "But--"
"For now," he continued, cutting her off "we'll put training aside and just enjoy ourselves while Lord Orochimaru is away...so, relax and let niisan spoil you for a bit."
Her hands came down completely but she folded them over her breasts instead of winding her fingers into his hair as she usually did. "I d-don't deserve it."
This is getting out of hand. "Hinata," he snapped, "did you or did you not give yourself to me to do with as I please? Yes? Right now, it pleases me to have you come as hard as you possibly can from my tongue and fingers: be silent, be screaming, I don't care. And after that, it's my turn, where you can repent as much as you want however you want: hands, lips, breasts, a combination; again, I don't care. I'm trying to be nice to you: don't make me turn you over my knee."
Hinata's eyes went very wide and her entire body flushed. "Oh!"
He gave her a small, sweet smile. Physical chastisement was an area he hadn't meant to move into for a while yet, not until she stopped over-thinking her every move towards him and actually starting initiating sexual contact on her own. She was still too hesitant and fumbling, still unable (or unwilling) to do more than wrap her arms around him and press shy kisses against his throat while they fucked. Once she was more comfortable, things would move very differently...
"Kabuto-nii," she whispered and he looked up.
For just a moment he could see her studying him, her eyes heavy with some expression that he couldn't place. Not for the first time did the thought that she might be faking all or some of her reactions float through his head but he usually dismissed it: his spies had watched her back in Konoha and there was no great difference in her behavior then or here; her reactions to various situations all fell within the parameters of his calculations. But the Hyuuga, more than anyone, knew how to carry themselves in the midst of scrutiny and he hadn't even begun to touch the depths of her. Years and years--
"P-please," she added and raised her hips slightly.
That earned her a kiss and his pulse stuttered a bit at the heat and taste of her mouth: close to his physical ideal she might be, but that wasn't what made him crave her kisses or her small hands or lately, even the sound of her voice. Just pheromones, he thought, sexual chemistry, as obnoxious as it is thrilling. I really don't want to be thinking of your breasts in the middle of a dissection, but you're here now, might as well make the best of it...
Her eyes had closed: he kissed the lids and licked drops of sweat off her cheek, tangling his fingers in the silky mess of her hair. Hinata's breasts moved against his chest with each breath she took and he cupped the right one: he truly hated being so predictable but he simply couldn't pass them up. Kabuto gave the nipple a quick pinch, then licked it, sucked at the tip, bit: while she whimpered, he slipped away and scraped his fingers down her belly, his short nails leaving faint marks that reddened quickly. The girl was covered in sweat by the time he came to rest between her thighs, the air in the tiny room thick with her scent. His fingers found her still damp from their earlier exertions and it only took a few minutes of slow probing before she was openly squirming and his palm glistened with her fluids.
"Such a good girl," he told her, smiling. "You really do aim to please."
Spreading her legs as wide as they would go, he leaned in until his lips brushed her clitoris, then abruptly moved away again. A tiny mewl was the result of this action, but he ignored it and stroked the wetness on the inside of her thighs, massaging them gently. When his hands started to slip closer, she tensed and he promptly disappointed her.
"A-Ah! K-Kabuto-nii!"
"What's wrong?" he asked, feigning confusion, and pressed down a little harder. "You've enjoyed this in the past...If you don't like anal sex, just say so." A short moan was his only reply and he eased his finger in, grinning. Perhaps he had been a little hasty involving it in their play, but he'd gone to great lengths to make their first time one that Hinata would never be able to forget without brainwashing, as well as one that satisfied him in every way he wanted, since he'd had no way of knowing whether or not there would be a second time at that point. Besides, it wasn't as quite as bad as that: while Hinata was clearly aroused by anal sex after he was actually inside her, she became flushed and twitchy at the preparation points and she'd nearly screamed the one time he'd rimmed her. It had, he thought as he idly inserted a second finger and Hinata bit down on her hand, probably something to do with delicacy about cleanliness issues, though she was always as clean as a little cat.
He was thrusting harder now, and Hinata had clapped both hands over her mouth, a sure sign she was having trouble stifling her cries. Well, he'd teased her long enough and his erection was progressing past the point where he could easily keep his arousal at a comfortable level. He caught up her right thigh with his free hand and buried his face in her cunt.
Mmmm. Strange that he, someone who became uncontrollably agitated when even the smallest, slightest thing was out of place could so thoroughly enjoy something so messy. His glasses were smeared, his hands would need immediate washing and he was dirtying his pants but none of it mattered as long as Hinata cried out so beautifully while her sweet fluids flooded his mouth. His hands shook. She needed to come, right now, or he was going to die from arousal or at the very least faint.
God, he was going to have a very stern talk with himself after this.
He caught her clit between his teeth and that did it: she was twisting, crying, and going to pull his hair out by the roots if she gripped any harder. He continued to lick while she rode the spasms out (she kicked him in the side of the head and he was almost sure it was entirely accidental): when she finally quieted, he gave her a last kiss and left for the bathroom to wash his hands.
Returning, he found her flushed and silent, watching for him. He undressed as she looked on, carefully folding his clothing and putting them aside on the room's desk, taking his time. Once finished, he moved towards the bed; she shifted her legs aside so he could sit, and he held out a hand, smiling at her.
"Your turn."

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
The offence was: motor vehicle fail to comply with solid white line road markings. I was driving motorcycle.
Title of the document I received says:notice of registration of fixed penalty and collection order.
No, I just paid my penalty, surrendered my license and was waiting to receive it back. As it says on the penalty ticket if no license rerceived in 6 weeks to contact them, which I did, providing all details and payment ref. No. There was no answer from them and then I received collection order document
I sent a letter to Court & Tribunal Service, explaining that penalty had been paid, they replied to me: "we have looked in to the fine registration of fixed penalty with The Metropolitan Police Penalty office. Investigation shows that they have fine registered this with th Court in error.
We now have authorisation needed to write this metter off and will do so forthwith"
And after I also received letter from the Police saying that I should pay again. How many times do I need to pay, if I paid once it should not be my problem that they keep making mistakes.

I just booked another cruise. Yay for me!!! AND...I actually have found someone to go with me, and I didn't even have to twist his arm into it. I think the idea of being someplace tropical with a foo-foo drink in hand sounded appealing to him.
This will be one heck of an outing!
But who is going with me is nonessential. The most important thing is that I am actually getting to go on my trip early next year, and I don't have to pay for double occupancy to do it. Right about the time everyone else in KC will be freezing their collective asses off. Yay!
The ship I will be on will be the Carnival Liberty, boasting an theater out in the pool area, so I can sit in this hot tub, and watch "Titanic". It will be an 8 day Eastern Caribbean jaunt where the temps are at least 80 degrees if not more. Someome else will be making my bed, cooking my meals, making my room tidy, bringing me room service, kissing my ass, and then leaving a fun towel animal on my bed to welcome me after a long night of wandering the ship.
No work! No Bosshole!! I won't even tell anyone I am a nurse. I will just tell people I work as a people greeter at Walmart.

Dear MUFON Members,
Below is the contents of an e-mail I received about the Brown Mountain Lights outing. Here is a link I found describing Brown Mountain lights. If you attend please take lots of pictures so that you can share with the rest of us!
Here is the update on the BML/UFO extravaganza planned for June 11-12 in and near Linville Falls Village, NC. All is on track. A major turn out is expected for both events. The convenient Parkview Lodge at Linville Falls is sold out all but a few rooms left for the evening of the 12th.
Because of the expected some 50 to see the Lights on the 11th, I am planning on going again following Steven Jones' lecture on the 12th.
Of course weather must be permitting BOTH nights. One does not venture to the Wiseman Overlooks if weather is threatening.
I will show up at the Parkview Lodge to lead the caravan of cars back to the Wiseman parking lot LEAVING THE LODGE AT 8 PM SHARP. So be there before then if possible Once at the Wiseman parking lot I will be sharing a sketch of the area, giving some background on the Lights, and sharing what I have found them to be....and a handout for everyone there to have. Cindy Peters, owner of the Lodge will take another caravan of cars of the late comers to the Wiseman parking lot, but they will miss my sharing, as we need to walk back to the Overlooks before darkness sets in.
Steven Jones from London England will be lecturing at the Community Church in Linville Falls Village at 3 PM on the 12th. It is for donation only, and he will be selling his book An Invitation to the Dance, and autographing them. I WILL THAT SAME EVENING AT AGAIN 8 PM CARAVAN ANOTHER GROUP TO WISEMAN AND REPEAT MY SHARING. Again, weather permitting. And this will make it possible for some to take in BOTH events on the 12th. There are two restaurants at Linville Falls Village to eat between the Jones lecture and to go see the Lights.
If you have any questions give me a call. My number is (828) 765-5047.
If I don't answer, clearly put your message and number on my answering machine for a return call.
Hope to see you,
Don Cooper

Chain of Hope became aware of a situation that badly needed our intervention. There was a house on a corner in mid-town that had a Rottie on a chain. We spayed 2 chained dogs across the street from him. I had talked with the owner of the Rottie a few times, but he did not want his dog neutered. Every time we came by to take care of the 2 girls that we cared for, he would see us unloading the hay, food, hanging fly bags, etc., but he received nothing because he wouldn't neuter his dog. He did feed him well, which was good because he wasn't going to receive any services from us.
We hadn't been by in a while and when we did get back over there, there were several dogs hanging around in his yard with his Rottie. There was a momma dog and 2 of her puppies, and there was an adorable purebred Beagle. When I asked about all of these dogs, a neighbor told me that they were all strays and the guy that owned the Rottie was wanting to keep the momma dog and chain her up. He also wanted to keep one of the puppies. Oh boy! The race was on to get them all out of there before he got one and chained it up for the rest of it's life. She told me that the momma had been out there a yr., which I don't know for sure. We had never seen her before and I'd been going over there to the two girls we spayed for about 3 yrs. She told me the Beagle had been out there a couple of months.
We met a really wonderful neighbor that lived behind this guy and she and her husband were totally supportive of what we were trying to do. They gave us permission to set our traps in their yard and to come and go anytime we needed to in their yard. She kept telling me, "we're all on the same team here". I loved these people.
We took our large dog trap over and the next day, we had trapped one of the white puppies in there! It was pretty much feral-never been touched by humans. Probably about 10 weeks old. We took her back to Chain of Hope, went back over and reset the trap. We showed the helpful man how to reset the trap in case it got tripped somehow. We gave these people our cell numbers and they began a very watchful vigil that would last for the next 2 weeks!
A couple of days later, we received a call that the Beagle was in the trap! We went over and got him and he turned out to be an absolute love! We were able to move him on to Furry Kids-thanks, Furry Kids! He has been adopted into a wonderful home. We took the trap back over and set it again. We would run by and check the trap, re-bait it with fresh goodies and we just kept trying. Meanwhile, we had the single white puppy back at Chain of Hope and she was totally shut down. She hid under the shelves and we couldn't touch her. We kept telling her that we were trying to get her momma for her! And her sister!
Days went by and momma and the other puppy were getting very wise to all of the happenings, which was probably good because the trap started malfunctioning. The woman whose yard we had it in started baiting it for us as well and she would put fried chicken pieces in there and other tantalizing goodies. She would watch from her window and she said that the other puppy was going in there all the time and eating and coming back out! We had to scramble and borrow another trap (thanks, Virginia!) and reset and go back over, sometimes going over to that house 3x a day. The guy that owned the Rottie started backing off of his claim that he wanted to chain them up and make them his dogs. He could see the difficulty that we were having even catching them, let alone touching them. Guess he finally figured out he wasn't going to catch them either so he could chain them up.
We went about 3-4 days with nothing really happening. We gave it a go a couple of times with more volunteers, our net and our catch pole but we just couldn't get them. It was frustrating, but we kept at it. Then one day, I received a phone call from the wonderful woman letting us put the trap in her yard and finally, the momma was in it!! We had her! We were so excited and glad on one hand, but on the other, this left the last puppy out there by herself. We were worried.
We took momma back to the house. She was very nervous. When we took her up to her puppy, there was no reaction. Neither one of them acted excited or happy to see the other. They were pretty shut down. We had them in a room upstairs and just let them chill. We went in to clean and feed and talk to them but we didn't push them. We just let them be while we continually worked on getting the other puppy.
An entire week went by while the last puppy was out there by itself. She started trying to cozy up to the Rottweiler since she had no none else now. I swear, we tried telepathy, trying so hard to just let her know that if she'd just go in there, her whole life would turn around. Nothing good was going to happen to her out here! I finally went over last Friday with chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger (we had tried all kinds of things and so did the woman). I told the lady that we were going to try once again, but that this was taking up an incredible amount of our resources-mostly time that we needed to get to all of the calls that come pouring in. I was kind of resigning myself to the fact that we might not get this puppy. She was the hardest one to get that I've ever had and she was only about 12 weeks old now! Little stinker. I kind of drew the line in the sand and let the woman know that we were about at our wit's end with this.
The next morning at 7:30 am, my phone rang and it was the woman who had let us put the trap in her yard. The last puppy was in there! Finally! We did it! All of us together had finally captured this little elusive one! Finally this little family would be reunited!
We let them all be together for a few days and then Donna took the two little girls to her house for foster. It is a slow process, but they are progressing. Momma started progressing, too, after the babies were gone. We brought her down with the other dogs and she started socializing more. She is getting spayed this morning as I write this. They will all be just fine.
I don't know anyone else in this city that would've put this much time and effort into getting all of these dogs off of this corner and out of the hood. That is 4 animals that never have to enter the shelter system. That is a call that animal control never had to get because Chain of Hope took care of it. That is a lot of money that we saved the city by them not having to respond, catch, impound, house and most likely euthanize these animals. We cleaned up this corner, the citizens were very grateful and helpful, and our services are free. Our work speaks for itself.
I went to check the trap one morning and this is what I found:
I don't know if this guy was really smart or really dumb, but I guess he was safe from the cat!

It is cool how random thought comes and goes away. Dengan cuma terlintas satu hal dalam pikiran, semuanya beranak pinak, brings us to the random memories related to that one random thing. I dont get how neuron stimulated such a thing, but tonight i was thinkin about Pojok Undercover.
Bagi banyak orang mungkin asing, tapi bagi ynag sudah kenal gua sejak SMP pasti tau! Pojok Undercover was a show, that day we were from the Student Council, just some 9th Grade students tryin to earn some money for the graduation day and farewell party by holding a spontaneous event. Kami pinjem 3 ruangan paling bawah di seoklah, its why we called it "undercover", menyatukan beberapa meja menjadi sebuah stage, menutup semua jendela sehingga semuanya menjadi gelap, mendekornya sendiri, menata lampunya sendiri, membuat kabaret sendiri, musik sendiri, susunan acara, desain kostum, make-up, bahkan dana kami keluarkan sendiri. I dunno but for me we were the coolest Junior Hig students alive at that time. That day i became the MC of the show, with Citra, and honestly it was my first time! And beside that, i and Citra were supposed to be two monsters for the Cabaret, but it looks more than two kiddos that love to dance, play around with sand, ice cream and cotton candy, it was so far from monsters. Kita bikin koreografi tariannya sendiri, it was just so fun! We made the Cabaret exactly one day before the show, but the event was success enough. Gua pikir suksesnya acara ini adalah orang-orang penasaran liat Elfrida yang notabene those days dia tomboy abis, berperan jadi Putri! yea! the way she talked, wore different wigs, pake gaun, cara dia keluar dari backstage, and everythin about her got standing aplaus during the show. Its really fun to back to that memory.
hey its us, tertawa bersama, lelah bersama, makan bersama, meskipun ketika itu uangnya musnah ditelan satu oknum. Hey Siti, Ria, Lia, Baby, Afif, Asep, Khalid, Frida, Angel, Citra, Tria, Hilda, Upi, Opan, Dimas, Orin, Tira, Aisyah, Nurul, and all of the part of the show. it was us, and we were so cool, i miss you guys ❤

New London Family Dollar temporarily shuts down
By Scott Bellile
New London firefighters responded to Family Dollar Thursday, Aug. 13, for an electrical problem they determined had likely resulted from a lightning strike behind the building.
Around 5 p.m., an employee with Family Dollar called New London Fire Department to report issues with an electrical box during an evening thunderstorm. Assistant Fire Chief Dick Muskevitsch said a lightning bolt likely caused a power surge.
Firefighters found a wire on the east side of the Wolf River Plaza building cut in two and power to the store's back storage room cut off, Muskevitsch said. An electric meter behind the building was dead.
Josh Jirikowic of New London was eating at Hong Kong Buffet with his family when he witnessed a nearby lightning strike outside the window. He speculated lightning struck the building.
"That was weird," Jirikowic said. "The lights … were flickering and then it was like, what the heck is going on?"
Family Dollar management hung a sign on the door stating the business was closed due to electrical issues. The sign was removed shortly afterward. Muskevitsch said the matter was resolved.

The creators of Glee have compared the romance between Will Schuester and Emma Pillsbury to The Graduate.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Brad Falchuk promised that the couple, played by Matthew Morrison and Jayma Mays, will find their new relationship difficult.
"It's the challenges of what is a relationship when it stops becoming projection," he said.
"It's not always as romantic and beautiful as you dreamed it would be but sometimes that makes it better. It's like that moment at the end of The Graduate."
Meanwhile, the show's creator Ryan Murphy revealed that Will becomes similar to a teenager following the break-up of his marriage to Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig).
"He's been with somebody since he was 15 years old, so now that he's getting divorced, this is the first time he gets to figure out who he is," Murphy explained. "He's become like the kids in the sense that he's sort of going through his own adolescence."
However, Murphy added that Terri will return to the show, saying: "She comes back with a really big story towards the end of the back nine. I don't wanna say what that is. Terri's always gonna be sticking around."

Address of the reception office of the Investigative Committee: Moscow, ul. Pervaya Frunzenskaya, d 3a
Phone number:
Address for writtent applications: 105005, Moscow, Tekhnichesky Pereulok, 2
The Volga Area Transport Office of the Investigative Committee has finished criminal proceedings three workers of the Kirov section of OAO Russian Railways charged with violation of safety rules for the traffic and operation of railway transport by a person who by virtue of their position must observe those rules if their actions entailed considerable damage by negligence under Part 1 of Article 263 of the RF Penal Code.
Investigators have revealed that at 4:30 AM, 5 February 2014, a rail got broken on the right trackway at Pozdino station of Gorkovskaya railway while one of freight train cars was passing on it. This led to derailment of 34 rail tank cars and ignition of combustible substances and materials in them, damage of buildings, structures and property of citizens and legal entities located nearby, including garages, vegetable storehouses near Krasnoarmeiskaya Street in Novovyatsky District in the town of Kirov.
Nobody was hurt or injured. But 131 people suffered a damage of more than 225 million rubles.
The derailment happened because of lack of proper control over the condition of the tracks by the accused workers.
To prevent similar accidents, a number of requests for elimination of conditions that had contributed to the crime and for tighter control over their subordinates were submitted to the leadership of the railway organization.
The investigation was a hard one as the immediate cause of the derailment was found only a year later due to enormous damages at the scene. The investigators gathered and analyzed bits and pieces information, carried out a lot of investigative operations in several regions of Russia, ran prolonged and complex forensic inquiries, interrogated more than 350 people. The case of 64 files has been referred to court.

soothing balm
This balm actually smells like REAL ROSES! Not the fake stuff my grandma used to wear. It works perfectly on lips, cuticles, any dry area at all. This is especially nice cause often balms that have multiple purposes taste kind of gross. This doesn't taste sweet but is certainly non-offensive.5

You Don't Have to Write What You Know
Despite being raised in the South where the high priest of the Sports Church is football, Bailey Watkins loved baseball. She loved the order, the precision, and the pace. While other sports were slaves to the time clock, a baseball game took its fine sweet time but could still go from near defeat to sudden victory with a good crack of the bat.
Thus begins, "Slugger Gone South" from the baseball anthology, Take Me Out, which was released yesterday.
Stephanie and I are pretty proud of those words. They sound like they could have been written by someone who is not only a baseball fan but is also fully invested in the culture of the game.
Yeah, well.
When Crimson Romance executive editor Tara Gelsomino put out a call for stories for a sports anthology, we thought, Oh, yeah. Perfect. That's us. We are football people. We knew we could write a football story that would make the poets cry. There would be goal line stands, defensive linemen with heart, inspiring halftime locker room speeches, and crying cheerleaders.
But then we found out it needed to be a baseball story, slated to come out in the middle of the World Series.
We had some work to do. Baseball doesn't have halftime and cheerleaders.
It wasn't that we didn't know anything about baseball. I had spent plenty of time at the little league fields watching my nephew play and Stephanie's high school had a high achieving team. She had even been a bat girl for three years. So we knew the fundamentals of the game but, in all of our years as close friends, we had never had one single conversation about baseball. It's fair to say we had no allegiance and little interest.
But we knew enough to know that America's Pastime has a rich unique culture that we had to understand before we could hope to write a convincing hero who played the game or a heroine who loved it. So we set out to learn. We attended a Birmingham Barons game, watched countless baseball movies, and worried the stew out of everyone in our lives who had any love at all for the game.
We learned how the farm team system works, that bats don't come cheap, what MBL wives wear to games, and that New York Yankees have to be clean shaven with short hair.
Before long, it all made sense. We understood that elusive thing that makes people love the game. We wrote a hero and heroine who loved and hurt so much that it might make at least one poet cry a little. And before we finished, I think we ended up loving baseball a little ourselves. At least I find myself pausing to see how it's going with the Red Sox and the Cardinals instead of scrolling through the channels looking for a football game, any football game.
So you don't have to write what you know. You just have to learn and—in some cases—have friends who are willing to let you worry the stew out of them.
Have you written something you didn't know much about?
