Annette and I were taking passport sized photos for our Chinese Visa applications and I was printing them out on photo paper on my printer. I put the paper in upside down and this was the result - pretty scary!! (Annette threatened unspeakable acts of violence upon me if i published hers.)
We are getting excited about our time in China. It is only two months away now. I'm heading to Brisbane early tomorrow morning for a week of National Wesleyan Church Meetings so I should be back this time next week with more posts. Bye for now

Two Great Aussie Movies
On my trip to New Zealand over the weekend to attend and speak at the New Zealand Wesleyan Methodist Annual Conference I had the opportunity to watch a couple of great new Aussie movies. I flew over on a 747 which was stopping at Auckland on the way to LA. I had my own personal screen with remote and could choose form a range of media for my "in-flight entertainment." I thought I would choose a movie that Annette would probably not want to watch with me and Kenny appealed to my sense of humour. It is a mock-umentary about a guy (Kenny) who works with portable loos (toilets). I reckon it will rank up there with Muriel's Wedding and The Castle as classic Aussie comedy movies.
The second movie that I watched (on the way home) was Footy Legends. It was a comedy-drama about a bunch of guys from Sydney who loved palying rugby. It revolves around a Vietnamese guy called Luc who is the captain of this team of misfits who were a champion high school team. Luc is raising his sister after his mother and father have passed away and he struggles to provide care when out of work and focused on rugby. I really connected with the characters in this movie and the strong story line was assisted by some clever comedy.

Engaging Australian Culture
We've had the pleasure of hosting the lovely (she paid me to write that) Miss Katie Brown for the past week. Katie is in Australia studying at Kingsley College for a Semester as part of the Houghton Down Under program. Because she is an inter-cultural studies major at Houghton she is required to do a homestay with an Aussie family. She's been an honorary member of our family for this week and has accompanied us to extended family dinners, birthday parties and school and kinder pickups. We've loved having her in our family for this week. Annette has been giving Katie some cooking tips as she is a confessed non-cooker. She's now got a couple of recipes to impress her flatmates.

Current Flowers in our Garden
This is the first weekend in about six that I've been home so I had a good cleanup in the garden. The daisies and pansies needed deadheading (taking off the old flowers to encourage new ones to grow) and the various climbers needed trimming and training. Unfortunately I was away during the peak of the wisteria flowering over the swing set - it put on a great show this year. These photos are of the clematis (purple) and the crepuscule rose on the arbor.

John Smith at Philip Island
Last weekend our family went to Philip Island for the Wesleyan Methodist Church Southern District Conference. This is the annual gathering of Wesleyans in the Southern states. We had the usual business sessions to hear reports and elect boards, committees and directors for the following year but it is also a family camp that included children's and youth activities. The guest speaker this year was John Smith (of God's Squad fame). John gave two messages that challenged and provoked in his inimitable prophetic style. His general topic for the weekend was "Real Holiness" – living the way God intended us to live. He talked about our call to personal and social holiness. He began one message with an illustration of a tree that got chopped down in his backyard and he and his wife argued about how old it was. John decided to count the rings on the tree to determine its age – and he won the argument! He then made the point that the tree is always sustained by the outer ring of bark and that if that outer ring is damaged (ringbarked) the tree will die. This is true for the church, if the current church dies the whole church dies. He also identified that the inner rings support the tree and that the tree would not actually be a tree without it's history . He encouraged the emerging church movement to consider the support that the church of history has provided for it. I agree with him in criticising those who don't see anything good in the church of the past 50, 100 or 1000 years. We have to learn from and appreciate our heritage. I'm mindful of this as we (Mimos) seek to be an authentic church for our time and culture. We have to reject those things that do not help us be a real expression of corporate faith while at the same time embracing those practices that have stood the test of time for the church.

Changing the Way I Watch TV
A few weeks ago I purchased a PVR. PVR stands for Personal Video Recorder – see more info here. I've been following these machines for about six months now because we were using a VCR on the kids TV for recording and it was a real pain to record stuff and then I had to watch it on the kids 51cm instead of the 68cm TV in the lounge. I had a few options for our TV recording including a DVD recorder but I settled for a twin digital tuner PVR with a hard drive. There are a few on the market to choose from but I settled for the Mediastar 920PVR. It was not a company I had heard of before but on the recommendation of many on the DTV forum I took the plunge and haggled Harvey Norman down from the RRP of $699- and got it for $550-.
I must say that it has changed the way I watch TV. The digital tuners mean that the picture quality is perfect (DVD quality). It can chase play, which means you can pause live TV (like when you're interrupted by the kids when they should be in bed)and then continue watching in delay (catching up by fast forwarding through the ads). This means that now we often start watching a show 15 minutes after it starts and then skip through all the ads and by the time the hour is over you've caught back up to real time.
The Mediastar is a true twin tuner which means you can record one channel and watch another live at the same time or you can record two channels at once and watch a recorded show at the same time. The Digital tuner gives acces to ABC2 and SBS2 and these are actually broadcast in the same 'channel' so you could record ABC, ABC2, SBS, and SBS2 at the same time while watching a recorded show.
Because it has a Hard Drive you can also store MP3s on it and play them through the TV (or, in my case, the home theatre system connected to the PVR).
So, while Annette still says it was an unnecessary purchase she has to admit that it is a great way to watch TV. It is now easier for TV to be our slave rather than our master.

I've been travelling a lot lately - which is why there has been little action on the blog. Townsville (twice), Sydney (twice) and Brisbance in the past 3 weeks. Also I've had a week of intensive study on Research Methods for my DMin.
All the travel has given me lots of time to read.
Among the many books I've partially read is Exiles by Mike Frost. Just released in July it is Frosty's (i think I can call him that - I spoken with him twice) latest.
It includes a lot of stories and thoughts I've heard Mike speak of at conferences previously but it is well written and engaging. Heere is a quote from page 63 that particularly resopnated with me.
"If I'm busy several nights a week and all weekend with my church activities, how can I possibly develop a commitment to such frequent proximity? Our churches, under the guise of doing work for Christ, are inadvertently sucking us away from the very people that Jesus would want us to hang out with. . . Exiles have figured out that churches don't value people who won't turn up for every meeting, attend every event, and locate all their significant friendships within the congregation. They have decided to slip away from the ever-spiraling vortex of so-called Christian fellowship. It sucks you in, demanding everything of you, leaving you completely socially disconnected from your neighbours, your community. . . Exiles, having read the dangerous stories of Jesus, have decided that the best way to do the Lord's work is to follow him out into the third places in their community."

The Dobsons are Going to China
Annette and I made the decision a couple of weeks ago to join others from the Balwyn Wesleyan Methodist church on a two week mission trip to Southern China. We'll be focsued primarily on ministry in schools and churches around Guangzhou and Nanning.
We're taking the whole family so that kids are really looking forward to it. Annette and I had planned to intentionally expose our kids to other cultures so this is a great opportunity.
We are doing some preparation with the rest of the team and we're involving the kids in that too. We had our first training session on Sunday and when we had nearly finished Thomas (our 4 year old) asked me when the training was starting. I said we had nearly finished. He then said "but I haven't done any running!"
We're looking forward to our time away and hopefully we'll have losts to post on the blog in January

D5 was the catalyst for a flurry of cool announcements from Apple, Microsoft (yes, MS actually made something cool!),
Palm, and Google.
Apple made good on bringing DRM-free, 256 kbps songs to iTunes. They also consolidated all of the free iTunes U[niversity] content. Wall Street liked YouTube on Apple TV the most.
Microsoft took Steve Jobs' advice and may have finally found a way to innovate their way out of stagnation. Technology like Surface is going to be pretty awesome once it becomes ubiquitous.
Poor Palm. Perhaps they can use the Linux-based Foleo OS on a future Treo.
Google Street View is cool. Google Gears also looks promising for Apollo.
Yep, it's definitely time to work on something cool too...

The girls were playing outside and I didn't want to be stuck inside folding clothes so I took the baskets outside along with the baskets I use to put the kids folded clothes in.
See the white baskets, one for each child.
So I folded two loads already brought in, in the wicker basket and then the load on the line. Brings new meaning to folding straight off the line.
The end result:
Will definitely be doing this again.
I could still chat to the girls, watch them play and enjoy the sun, all whilst doing my job!
Have a great day....Mal

This week, thought I would share some insights into our schedule for each CGS session.
1) Singing faith-based songs while we wait for everyone to arrive.
Ms. Mary leads us in singing songs like: The Liturgical Colors Song, Rise and Shine, He's Got the Whole World in His Hands, Amen, and the Butterfly Song. Our last song we sing together is Jesus Love is Bubbling Over. Here is a short video of the children singing part of the song:
2) What we're doing today
I briefly share with the children what we are doing today. We might also talk about the color of the liturgical season, if it is a feast or saint day, feast days that are coming up. We select the child who will carry the processional cross today, and the two children who will help set up our prayer table.
3) Silence Game
Ms. Christy leads us in playing the "Silence Game" where we sit very quiet and try to hear the smallest noises around the room.
4) Catechesis of the Good Shepherd faith Presentation
Depending on the specific presentation, I will sometimes give the presentation to the whole group, or to smaller groups.
5) Individual Work Time
The children are given the option to pick various works around the room. Some of the works help them appreciate and understand Mass (like the articles of the Mass work), some help them reinforce various passages in the Bible (like the Annunciation diorama, where they work with a small diorama of Mary's home, a figure of Mary, and a figure of the Angel Gabriel, to "re-enact" the scene where Mary was visited by the Angel Gabriel.) Other works help them develop small motor skills and concentration skills. They also learn practical skills that help them keep our atrium beautiful -- like how to fold the prayer cloths, arrange flowers for our prayer table, etc.
During this time, two children help me set up our prayer table with the appropriately colored prayer cloth, the Good Shepherd statue, a Bible, candles, and a picture or two of their choosing. As we move into spring, they will also add flowers to the prayer table.
6) Ring the Chime and Process to Prayer Corner
The two children who helped me set up the prayer table ring the chime, which signals that it is the end of our individual work time and time to clean up. After the children clean up, they find a place on the tape line that surrounds our rugs. The child who is leading the line carries our processional cross at the beginning of the line. We sing "We are Walking on the Line" to encourage the children to focus on the tape line while walking (building their concentration and large motor skills.) Now that the children are familiar with this, we are transitioning away from this song, and singing "Christ is Light" as we walk the line and process into our prayer room.
7) Prayer Corner
We light the candles, dim the lights and begin our prayer corner time, which consists of a song to help us still our bodies (Be Still and Know That I am God). Then we sing a song to thank God for the many gifts He has given us (Thank You Lord). The children have an opportunity to suggest people and things they are thankful for during this period. Eventually, as the children's level of concentration increases, we will add more time to our prayer corner, and different types of prayer.
8) Process back to Atrium Room, and Snack Time
After prayer time is over, we go back to our atrium room for Goldfish crackers.
About this time, you start arriving to pick up your children. And that's our typical session!
A note about release times:
I generally try to finish up the session by 10:40-10:45 a.m. I realize that sometimes Mass runs shorter, but we usually won't release the children until snack time. (It's very important that they participate in prayer corner.) However, if there is a week when you need to take your child earlier than 10:40 (perhaps due to another commitment that morning), please let me know and we'll work with you to ensure your child is released earlier than 10:40 a.m. Depending on the time, we will have your child meet you immediately after prayer corner, or before we start prayer corner (approximately 10:25-10:30). I try to work out earlier releases so they don't distract the rest of the children.
Hope that gives you another peek inside our atrium.
P.S. A reminder: No Session This Sunday (2/14/16) due to the Presidents' Weekend Holiday. We'll be back in session next week (2/21/16), and go every week through Palm Sunday.

Or family branch as it was more like.
The therapist got as far as drawing 3 circles with my girls names before they completely lost interest and proceeded to run amok in his office and generally behave rudely, loud and dis-respectfully.
There was shouting, talking over him, blanking him, behaving very hyped whilst showing me they were in control by glancing at me as they knew they were doing/saying/acting in a way I wouldn't approve of.
So why was this time so different to last. The difference is school. They didn't get enough sleep as they were too hyped to relax, as they always are term time, and as a result find themselves tired and agitated. The next appointment is in the holidays!
The usual calming techniques didn't work today as they were too wired to even see him never mind listen to him. So I was sent home with 3 very over excited girls that had spent 40 minutes getting more and more excitable without the skills to know when to stop.
I stopped them, I calmed them, I made them feel safe again.
Over 3 sessions we don't appear to have learnt anything except that they're not great at taking turns with the white board and will try it on and get away with what ever he allows them to, which seems to be limitless so far.
I'm loosing faith with how this is having any benefit what so ever. He doesn't even seem to notice the squabbling they do so how much is he observing?!
My hopes of them having happy hearts seem to be fading.

President Glenn McConnell '69 issued the following message to the campus community on Friday, May 12, 2017, regarding weather conditions for Saturday's Commencement ceremonies:
Dear Graduates, Faculty and Staff:
This evening, the College of Charleston leadership team had a meeting to receive a weather update regarding tomorrow's commencement ceremonies.
At this time, the weather experts still predict severe thunderstorms throughout the morning and afternoon. However, as we all know, the weather here in Charleston can be unpredictable.
With that unpredictability in mind, we continue to be in communication with the National Weather Service to monitor the situation. The National Weather Service has a briefing scheduled for around 4 a.m., which members of the College will be a part of. This briefing will give us a much clearer picture of Saturday's weather forecast. Around 5 a.m., the College will announce a decision regarding the location and start times of our Saturday ceremonies.
As an alumnus of the College, I understand how important it is for our graduating seniors to have commencement in the Cistern Yard. I've heard from some of you inquiring if we can move one of the Saturday ceremonies to Sunday morning, and unfortunately, that is just not possible. Many of our graduating seniors as well as family members, friends and loved ones are from out of town and will need to depart Charleston on Saturday evening or Sunday. In addition, the vendors we are contracted with are expected to begin breaking down the setup in Cistern Yard on Sunday.
I ask that you continue to be patient with us as we explore all possibilities to ensure the Class of 2017 has a memorable and wonderful graduation experience. As I mentioned, I will update everyone on our commencement plans when a decision is made early tomorrow morning through email, our news site and the College's social media as well as a push notification through our ticketing system.
No matter the location, tomorrow, I look forward to shaking your hand and congratulating you on your incredible achievement.
Glenn F. McConnell '69
College of Charleston

I love dresses. I love wearing them, and making them, for myself and for You! A dress can be the most comfortable and simple thing to wear, you don't have to worry about if everything goes together. All you need is a pair of cute shoes. Also with a full skirted dress, you can eat a big burrito and not have to unbutton your top pants button ;)
I've gotten to make some special dresses for special costumers and discovered how much I love to work with them and make it just right :)
The dress I'm wearing is a cat print that I love to wear everywhere! I'm a huge fan of animals that look like print shapes from a distance.
If your looking for a great dress for lots of occasions feel free to email me with inquiries firstname.lastname@example.com
another great thing about special orders is that you can pick out any fabric or even have something special printed at spoon flower http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Right off the bat I'd like to say this book is in a class of its own. I literally have nothing to compare it to because even after googling Techno-Shaman I got next to nothing. M. Terry Green has succeeded in creating a completely original theme in a genre that is saturated with werewolves, vampires, demons and even angels.
Summary from Amazon:
2011 Semi-Finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards
Top 1% of 5,000 books entered.
Even for a techno-shaman, a kachina in the bedroom isn't exactly part of the drill. When Olivia Lawson wakes to find one towering over her, she panics. A Hopi god visiting the real world isn't just wrong-it's impossible.
Or is it?
Soon Olivia learns that the kachina is the least of her worries. As she struggles to save her clients, clashes with other shamans, and fends off the attacks of real-world vigilantes, Olivia finds herself in the destructive path of a malevolent ancient force intent on leaving the spiritual realm to conquer this one.
Left with few options, Olivia is forced to defy centuries of shaman prohibitions. As she and her allies risk everything in their bid for survival, Olivia ultimately learns that the rules are there for a reason and that breaking them has a terrible cost.
Now I will say I was a little lost for the first few chapters. Since I know little to nothing about Shamanism I spent some time scratching my head going "huh?" but but the third chapter I figured out what was going on and was glad I stuck it out. Livvy is a techno-shaman who is just getting by. Getting jobs through her handler SK she arrives at clients houses to preform spiritual healing. These healing rituals involve Livvy taking a trip to the multiverse using special googles that replace the drugs of the past. A profession steeped in tradition, the shamans are not supposed to have contact with one another only with handlers like SK.
The trouble arrises when other Shamans begin to have trouble waking up, and one even ends up dead. Livvy and her newfound friends have to figure out a way to heal the multiverse or else they will never be able to help heal people again. Livvy must break some age old rules in order to find some answers.
M. Terry Green has done an excellent job weaving a world so close to reality it could be true. This really is an excellent Urban Fantasy Novel and worth the read. After showing the novel to a few friends the only feedback I got was that the name of the novel wasn't very catchy. The cover art is beautiful and eye catching though. If you are looking for a change of pace from the normal Urban Fantasy this novel is the one for you.
Check out M. Terry Green on her website.

Content: 3.5/5 starsRunning Time: 2 hours, 57 minutesCast: Alexa Grace, Jay Taylor, Jojo Kiss, Zelda Morrison, Kali Kavalli, Lia Lynn Robinson, Mandingo, Rob Piper, Ricky Johnson, Moe Johnson, Charlie Mac, and Jon JonDirected by: Billy WatsonGenres: Big Cock, InterracialCondoms: NoAudio/Video: No technical specifications to note, presumably HD video quality.Bonus Scenes: NoneExtras: Photo gallery, cumshot recapOverview: Dogfart celebrates the tenth installment of its Race Relations DVD franchise by compiling some of the greatest hits of their "Blacks on Blondes" scenes, featuring a diverse display of intercourse, situational humor, and raceplay.Scene 1: Alexa Grace and Mandingo
If there's one person who isn't in Dogfart videos as much as you'd assume - likely due to his contractual obligations to Jules Jordan for his own personal DVD series - it's Mandingo, but he shows up in the opening scene of Race Relations Vol. 10 with the blonde cutie Alexa Grace. Alexa struts out to the pool in a black bikini, which slips off by the poolside as she begins to masturbate before sinking into the shallow-end. She rests on a bed underneath a shady canopy to play with herself, eventually welcoming Mandingo and his footlong black dick as soon as they enter both enter frame. "It's literally the size of my arm," Alexa states. "Literally."Alexa takes his shaft about halfway during a blowjob, eventually segwaying to suck one of his balls while jerking his dick as the two lounge and enjoy one another. She winces as he enters her, cursing to ease the entry. She needs a break just a few minutes later, both to taste herself and regain all the breath she lost exhaling. Diving into her crotch while she's on her back, Mandingo smiles a bit has Alexa's initial cursing has been traded for arousing whimpers until she realizes he's only giving her half of his dick. She's in utter disbelief and demands more.
All the pressure and work makes Alexa fall to her side where you really see a size contrast. Alexa is barely five-feet and extremely thin, while Mandingo is tall and muscle-bound. During a blowjob in the home-stretch, director Billy Watson enjoys focusing his camera on a closeup of Alexa's ass, centering her asshole in the frame as she sucks away at Mandingo, he himself visibly in a oral state of bliss. During both missionary and reverse cowgirl, Alexa's pussy is forced to swallow Mandingo whole, with her loudly screaming to confirm that he's both doing his job and that the size of his equipment is overtaking her. Meanwhile, he just grips her ass and goes along for the ride.Reverse cowgirl does her the most favors because it's in that position where we can see her facial expressions, her lovely body, and the penetration all at once without cuts or pans. Eventually, Mandingo flings her off his dick mid-cowgirl so he can blast a load on her tongue. She swallows and dives into the pool, declaring her appreciation and love for Dogfart into the camera. 3.5/5 stars.Scene 2: Jay Taylor and Rob Piper
Jay Taylor's scene has a bit of a humorous story that builds at a more conservative but arousing pace. Jay has to help Rob study despite him being very reluctant and preoccupied with partying and the very things that are prompting his low GPA. Back at Jay's house, she fittingly teaches Rob about the intricate anatomy and science of the penis as they lie on a red beanbag, Jay proclaiming that the size of the penis shouldn't matter for oral or vaginal stimulation being that the nerve endings are the same in all penises. Rob is in shock; Jay's sexual experience with her five-inch boyfriend has ostensibly blinded her to the realities of larger, girthier cock. Thank God he's here to prove her skepticism wrong.Jay agrees to a blowjob for science purposes only. "You can't fuck me," she sternly tells him, agreeing to a blowjob despite her concerns about her boyfriend finding out. She sucks rhythmically upon being in awe of Rob's nine-inches. Unlike her boyfriend, she cannot successfully deepthroat Rob beyond going about five inches down his dick. She still claims that she won't let him fuck her, despite nestling her now naked-self next to him, slurping away at his shaft.
Jojo Kiss and Zelda Morrison are two crosstown cheerleaders giggling about how naughty they've been in the past, doing everything from having sex to shoplifting. After the game is over, the two decide to sneak into the football team's locker room, on the prowl for two young black guys to have sex with, despite Zelda's repeated concerns about her boyfriend. The two wind up meeting Moe Johnson and Ricky Johnson in the locker-room, both of whom very happy to see the young ladies and very persistent, along with Jojo, in getting Zelda not only to cheat on her boyfriend but have her first experience with black men as well. Zelda begins by jerking the boys off, eventually going with Ricky while Jojo takes on Moe. "It's as long as my arm," Zelda says agasp at Moe's long cock. The two proceed to give the men blowjobs, Jojo's technique sloppy and hands free often while Zelda's is a bit less gag heavy, as she stares up at Moe, and then Ricky when the two ladies switch off, wide-eyed with tears forming.
The ladies arch their backs in midair, flaunting their cheerleader side by holding back their leg and balancing so we can watch them get penetrated simultaneously. Jojo is the enabler here, encouraging her friend to unleash her unrepentant dirty-side, which eventually blossoms into Zelda screaming as they lie back on the bench. Jojo watches Zelda's pussy swallow Ricky's dick, while Zelda moans loud enough to echo throughout the locker-room. The two talk the entire way through sex, playing their characters very well and even switching off on to their men with flawless, cheerleader-like precision.
When faced with the men they initially began to please, Jojo decides to take Ricky on in the bathroom stall, while Zelda and Moe get the bench all to themselves. Jojo wiggles her ass on Ricky's dick in a twerking motion, while Zelda gallops her ass on Moe. Jojo practically dances on Ricky, eyeing her best friend wail, calling Moe her "black cock daddy" as she's pounded like never before. The girls end things on their knees with Moe emptying himself on Jojo's mouth, while Ricky paints Zelda's face upon receiving some flattering encouragement."I'm a cum-guzzling slut," Zelda says with Jojo's instruction, and they finish with a bit of cumswapping and Zelda discarding any concern about her poor boyfriend. This is a fitting tentpole scene due to its nonstop sexual energy crossed with the strong personalities of both Jojo and Zelda. The two are always moving and always offering something arousing, be it Jojo with her unbelievable sex moves or Zelda with her gradual progression into a "total slut," as her best friend calls her. Watson and Dogfart have effectively taken a cliche setting and made it sizzle with the perfect talent. 4.5/5 stars.Scene 4 : Kali Kavalli and Charlie Mac
I've long adored Kali Kavalli for her free-spirited nature, her desire to show and tell her feelings during sex, and her all-around perky nature. Her scene with Charlie Mac opens with a closeup shot on Kali's spread legs as the two sit outside. Kali flashes her surroundings, not caring that her black panties are showing, as she laments about not having a good sexual experience in seven years. Her freak has been repressed by her boyfriend, and all Kali has wanted to do for years now is fuck a black guy.Naturally, she makes use of Charlie's presence as soon as the two go back to his place, with Kali sucking his large black dick eagerly and passionately. Charlie holds her hair back as she rests her head on his stomach, sucking while he fingers her. In some way, the scene actually bears a romantic quality that persists as Kali sits atop Charlie in missionary, suppressing very vocal "ow's" as she adjusts to riding his girth.
Soon enough, she laments her tardiness to experiment with black guys while riding him, Charlie having no trouble or hesitancy in going deep inside her. She hops off to enjoy another quick blowjob, smiling as she tells him, "I taste pretty good." Upon cleaning his cock off, Kali embarks on a reverse cowgirl adventure that has her ready to cum. She's adjusted to Charlie's size so well she makes her pussy devour his shaft to the point where it catches up with her. She winds up collapsing backwards on to Charlie, her fluttering bleach-blonde hair lands in his face while her pussy still tightly grips his penis."My eyes are watering, my nose is running, you're fucking me up," Kali tells Charlie as he dives in doggystyle. Despite her body apparently responding to her first good dicking in a while, Charlie isn't done with her as he grabs a handful of her ass, plowing her into the couch. The final moments have Kali showing off her flexibility, hiking her legs past her head leaving herself wide open for Charlie to enjoy. She laughs her way into briefly choking on his cock just as he's about to blow his load. He sprays a small amount of cum on her mouth and chin, concluding a scene that can only be described as giddy. 3.5/5 stars.Scene 5: Allie James (acting only), Lia Lynn Robinson, and Jon Jon
Allie James and Lia Lynn Robinson are two young girls, smoking cigarettes outside one day as they aimlessly bat off a list of things they could do to pass the time. Allie suggests the winner and that's get her friend to try black cock for the first time, despite knowing that Lia is married and worried about her husband's reaction. She nonetheless takes her to Jon Jon's house where she leaves the two of them alone. Lia tries to wolf down Jon's monster manhood but has a difficult time. Deepthroat has her tapping out about halfway down Jon's shaft before he goes on to tease relentlessly, watching her play with herself or having her prepare her pussy for such a passionate pounding with a little fingering.When Lia goes back to sucking Jon's cock, then begins the raceplay. We hear Lia expound upon her desire to have sex with black men, encouraged and egged on by Jon, who tells her that he'll make a tape for her husband to watch. Lia doesn't suck for too long, for she's too eager to ride Jon missionary. He grips her ass tightly and for a woman as hesitant as she is, Lia has no problem going hard and fast all over his lap. A subsequent reverse cowgirl has her pussy plugged up nicely as she leans back on the couch initially only to rise up and watch her tight twat take on Jon.A momentary break in the action comes as Lia, arching her back towards the camera as we see an unobstructed view of her playing with her asshole and pussy, tells us about her interracial fantasies. She claims to have stayed up late while her husband is asleep, watching black porn, something Jon gets aroused by hearing. He takes three of his fingers and puts them inside of her pussy one-by-one and proceeds to finger her vigorously before resuming sex, this time doggystyle.
The raceplay in the scene does get old, especially after we needed to stop the sex for it and it persists on after that small interlude. The tradeoff, on the other hand, is watching the control during doggystyle switch between both Lia and Jon. Sometimes Jon is penetrating Lia forcefully, and sometimes, he makes her pick up the work and have her ass work his dick. "You gonna cum on my face?," Lia innocently asks Jon as she twiddles her pussy. He complies and she's so satisfied afterwards that she continues to play with herself and question whether or not she'll ever go back to white men again. 3/5 stars.Final Thoughts
For a compilation disc about a long-running online series that hasn't changed its thesis much since its inception, Race Relations Vol. 10 presents a commendable amount of variety. While Alexa Grace's scene is very straight forward, Jay Taylor's offers great humor and interwoven narrative, Jojo Kiss and Zelda Morrison's gives viewers a hugely fun and wickedly arousing sex marathon, Kali Kavalli is her spirited self, and Lia Lynn Robinson's raceplay ties it all together into a complete, diverse package in multiple different ways.The usual kinks are in place, such as the size comparison, the color contrast, and the young and spry starlets that are honing their craft, yet Race Relations Vol. 10 is assembled knowing the tease and the structure pulls one into the setting just as much as the performers' attractiveness does. Dogfart may be tagging the bases familiarly at times, but it ultimately knows how to present and market what sells.

There Lived a Beautiful Princess
There Lived a Beautiful Princess:
I really like this page. I had fun doing it also. The paper I used really helped - most of the work was done. But I did add details...
Paper is from Die Cuts with a View - the Once Upon a Time Stack. Also some red cardstock for the large circle and the swirls. I cut the circle and the swirls using my Cricuit Machine. I added Gold detailing with a upcoming product from Stewart Superior. I will tell you more about it as more information is available.
The Seal is a "wax seal sticker" I got a Disneyland.
The Flowers are silk and gold detailing and a gem was added.
The Little dress is from EK Sucess. It's so cute.
Well there was nothing too special on this page. I just took my time and added lots of details.

Cat of the Day
Keke, Kallie
Eight months old, six months old
Gray Tabby, Calico
Weirton, West Virginia, USA
y kitties are special because they are so cute. They are both very loving. Keke loves you to pet her while she eats, she purrs like crazy. Kallie loves to have her belly rubbed when she lays down. She purrs and purrs and purrs. They run around like crazy and love to play hide and seek. They are kittens and they are funny and so sweet and cute. These kitten are so much fun to play with, and keep me entertained all day. I love my cats!
Both of my kittens are special. Keke was a feral cat that was abandoned under a tire in the heat. Her right eye was shut and she was full of fleas when she was found. She was only five weeks old. We raised her like her mother would. She is very loving and doesn't meow, but does a bird call. She is super soft and loves to snuggle. They are just learning some tricks but haven't mastered any yet.
Kallie is a long hair calico and was also rescued from the animal shelter. They gave her to me when she was seven weeks. She is more independent then Keke, but is super sweet. She loves her belly to be rubbed and she sleeps behind my head on a pillow. She isn't a snuggler but if you are covered with a blanket she will sit with you. She loves to go under the blanket,she loves to be covered up and she loves a tunnel she has. Anything she can hide in she will. She is super friendly and loving though, if you go to pet her, he rolls over for you to pet her belly. She is almost six months and is trying to learn some tricks but hasn't mastered anything yet.
Keke and Kallie both are super sweet and when I leave the house and come back, they are like dogs they come running. They wanna see whoever is coming in. They definitely aare nosy. I truely love them they are so much fun. I am helping at my local shelter and hope to adopt two more kitties. I had dogs all my life and since I've had the kittens they have brought so much joy to me, I may never have another dog. These kittens are super sweet and super cute and I love them.

I gather that people were upset by what was a pretty standard metaphysical end to what was, when all was said and done, a traditional space opera. I am not one of those people; the end that I chose for my Shepard fit her actions and her life, and that's a fair thing to get from any game. No complaints.
Regrets, though? Oh, sure, plenty of those. Starting with at least one NPC death because of something that I did, or more accurately didn't do.

Zee Media Corporation Limited (ZMCL) to launch its Global English News Channel, by mid 2016. The channel will be called 'WION – World is One News' will report the global news and issues from a South Asian perspective.
Commenting on the new channel, Dr. Subhash Chandra, Chairman, Essel Group & ZEE said, "Zee Media's new Global English News Channel – WION, will look to offer a seamless experience to empower, educate and energise our discerning viewers. Inspired by the Group's motto, "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam-The World is My Family", WION aptly stands for 'World is One News' and will give a global view of the world with a South Asian lens."
WION's target audience is Generation Z, not in terms of age, but in terms of values, beliefs and attitude. A generation that is global, social, visual and tech savvy.
WION is a mobile/digital first platform and later will be an international television channel. The news content will be available to audiences at their convenience, on their preferred screens. The network will use technology to bring in user-generated content, it is the audience's voice that will define WION. Its news gathering teams will be equipped with mobile technology for an 'anytime-anywhere' live approach.
Sharing more details on the news network, Rohit Gandhi, Editor-in-Chief – English News Broadcast and Related Content said, "With WION, we will meet the aspirations of 2 billion South Asians by delivering a global News network reflecting a South Asian world perspective. It's high time for South Asian reporting from front lines, war zones and prominent global capitals."
"While a TV channel is the face of this mobile-first start-up, our newsgathering, reporting, production and publishing processes are an ambitious leap into a multiscreen future. We aim to disrupt conventional ways of thinking about news and set a new template for storytelling across platforms," Gandhi further added.
WION will have bureaus across the globe. Using a mix of young and seasoned journalists with diverse nationalities, WION will dare to be on the forefront of what's happening today in thought-provoking ways.

Adding a touch of glamour to your wedding is all about finding that "something borrowed"—a vintage item can add a fresh look as that pièce de résistance for your special day. While vintage rental companies have had their place on the coasts for years, Diane Storevik Holetz knew the Twin Cities were the next stop for progressive event style. Last year, she decided to pair her background in design with her love of all things vintage to create The Vintage Type: an event rentals company. At TVT's open house last week, Holetz's collection of finely foraged treasures contained everything from linens and glassware to furniture and props—everything a bride-to-be would need to make a memorable statement on her wedding day. Artful artifacts moonlighted as centerpieces, functional furniture, or creatively-constructed installations in the welcoming St. Paul warehouse space. (We were in love with the subtly-suspended lighting—in gold-tinted umbrellas, no less.) [caption id="attachment_2612" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Photography by Katrina, Studio Laguna"]
[/caption] The Vintage Type's vast array of timeless pieces were on display amidst some of the top wedding and event vendors in the city. Carly from Girl Friday helped to promote the event and styled the Parisian-themed dessert buffet (desserts courtesy of Patisserie 46,) while gorgeous florals by Lisa Roy of Florabella brought life to vintage vases. [caption id="attachment_2604" align="aligncenter" width="286" caption="Photography by Katrina, Studio Laguna"]
[/caption] Katrina Hannemann of Studio Laguna captured every detail of the night, while Chowgirls kept us sated with a steady flow of prosecco and brie. After the party, Holetz spoke with Aisle File about starting her own business, her vision for the future, and all things vintage. Q: How did The Vintage Type come about? A: It seems like a lightbulb moment but it really had been months in the making, I just didn't know it. I was a graphic designer and it was a poor economic time, so I wasn't as busy as I had once been as a freelancer. I was doing a lot of volunteering for AIGA Minnesota that served my love of planning events, and in my spare time I'd always followed design and wedding blogs. I was really seeing things happen out on the coasts where vintage rentals were a serious business, and I saw that start to carry over into Minnesota. I think Minnesota is so progressive that the metro area was ready. Q: What kind of pieces are you drawn to? A: My favorite look is definitely the softer palate, French to English countryside look. I also love the Parisian-antique meets a more clean, modern, "Paris apartment" look. So that's where I always like to go, but I try not to limit myself too much. [caption id="attachment_2614" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Photography by Katrina, Studio Laguna"]
[/caption] Q: How did you start building your collection? A: I've had many things for a long time—years ago from college and after college, when I would collect things. But when I decided to start the business I took a more focused approach and took my savings and went on some buying sprees that were specific for the rental industry. I went to tons of estate sales—even in the dead of winter when you're waiting in line and getting trampled by people looking for a find —I was one of those people, but I wasn't trampling! So I went to a lot of estate sales, a lot of people on craigslist, yard sales and garage sales . . . I did the whole nine yards. Q:What's your dream for this business? A: Within five years I want to go on a French countryside buying spree and fill a shipping container and get it back here. That's my five-year goal! [caption id="attachment_2615" align="aligncenter" width="250" caption="Photography by Katrina, Studio Laguna"]
[/caption] Q: We hear that you'll be involved in In(dy)spire, the Independent Wedding Fair. A: Yes, I'm proud to be a relatively new member so this is really exciting. I'm going to have my own booth, but I've also been asked to do other lounge areas for the fair in general. I'm really happy to be a part of it—everyone that's a part of the association is really great and there's no awkward competitiveness going on. I'll also be doing a mini-workshop with Gretchen from Rocket Science; people can stop by and we'll have a little spiel on what to expect when you're renting vintage. Gretchen knows a lot about that from being a wedding planner. We really want guests to be involved and not just go to look or be sold to. Ask questions, we are here as a resource for you! Q: If you had to give advice to brides- or grooms-to-be about vintage rentals, what would you say? A: I'd say go with your instincts and come prepared with questions. Also, I've heard this a lot not just in Minnesota but on national blogs, that it's really not more expensive [to rent vintage] than to rent other stuff. There are certain pieces that are super specialty, of course, like a rare antique set. It's not the same as renting 200 chairs, but think of it in terms of a highlight moment or a specialty focus. That's a lot of what we can do: Let's focus on some nice individual seating areas versus trying to completely fill a ballroom with vintage. One day I hope to get there! But don't be overwhelmed, you can do really nice focal points with just a few pieces. You can look for Holetz at the upcoming In(dy)spire Wedding Fair on February 16 and spot some of her rentals at the Joynoelle Amusement Event at Aria on March 6—with her background as a graphic designer in addition to her successful new business, Holetz was also responsible for creating the event logo.

A lot of people stumble across my blog looking for inspiration and tips on making the move over here themselves, so in honour of my huge milestone I thought I would share some of the tips that I have learned from my move to Edinburgh.....
Before you book your one way ticket you should take a look at what's happening in Edinburgh (or any other UK city you are moving to) around the time when you want to arrive. Every year Edinburgh hosts a variety of massive festivals (aka The Fringe and Hogmanay) that are great to experience, but are awful times to try and find a flat to rent. A lot of flats will be let on a short term agreement for the festival and this rate is often WAY more then what it would go for any other time of year. I would recommend arriving in Edinburgh a few months before these events as they are actually great times to find some work and that'll give you time to secure a place to rent before festival prices kick in.
2. Sort out your bank account BEFORE you travel
You may be tempted to just sort things out when you arrive here, but I would recommend that you do it before you leave home. If you need help organising your VISA for the UK (if you need one) then I recommend using 1st Contact, who not only helped me make sense of all of the paperwork, but they also help me set up a bank account for the UK and make a international money transfer to the account. I cannot stress how important it is to have your bank account sorted before you arrive. You'll also need some character references or a reference from a previous landlord to be able to sign up to a rental agreement here so arranging this in advance will save you time when you arrive.
3. Only sign a lease with a Letting Agent
It may seem like a no-brainer for some but believe me when I say some people come over here and sign a lease with a private landlord without knowing the rules and regulations for renting in the UK and then end up in a lot of trouble. I highly recommend that when you move here that you only sign a lease through a letting agent- they liaise with the landlord on your behalf and most property companies have their own maintenance people who can come and fix problems for you at short notice. Letting Agents also collect your bond/ deposit money that you pay when you first agree to a rent and it is then kept with a 3rd party to avoid any horror stories of landlords not returning bond money when you move out. If you're looking to rent in Edinburgh, I recommend Factotum and s1rental as a great place to start.
4. Get to know the area
From experience, I can tell you that reading about an area in your Lonely Planet guide is vastly different to actually having to live in that area. Before you make a decision on signing a lease, I would recommend you spend a bit of time in the area you want to rent. Check things like the bus links to the city centre, supermarkets and shops nearby and how safe the area is. Edinburgh is generally a pretty safe city, but its worth checking how safe it is at night, especially if you want to be walking home after a night out.
5. Invest in a Lothian Bus pass
I don't know where I would be without my bus pass. Lothian Buses operates some of the best city bus routes I've come across in any country. They have a bus route to just about anywhere you would want to go. Bus passes are around £50 a month (depending on whether you are a student or sign up to a direct debit), but the pass gets you unlimited travel on any Lothian bus route, the Night Bus, the Airlink (the airport bus) and also the relatively new Tram route.
You can't work in the UK without one. The National Insurance card is your tax number and most employers will ask for this during the application process. You can apply for one by filling out a form at Job Centre, and you usually get your card in the post pretty quickly.
7. Be realistic in your job hunt
FACT: For Aussies making the move to the UK, the salaries in the UK are probably going to be a lot lower then what you can get in Australia- but you're here for the experience right? When I moved to Edinburgh I applied for a variety of different jobs and wasn't too fussy with what I got to begin with. The first two jobs I had over here, I got through the website www.gumtree.com, so I definitely recommend you take a look there for your job search. If you are wanting something a little more professional then s1jobs is a great place to start. If you want bar work then most bars/ restaurants advertise vacancies in their windows and you can just drop your CV in. Edinburgh has a lot of recruitment agencies as well so it might be worth dropping your CV in there as well.
8. Watch your pennies
Moving to the UK can be a big expense as you set yourself up and find a new job, so you're going to want to watch your pennies. Let me introduce you to my two favourite stores when I first moved here- Poundland and Pound Stretcher. As their names suggest, they are stores where everything is £1 or a little over £1. Here, you can buy pretty much everything- toiletries, household cleaning products, pots, pans, kitchen items, duvets, pillows, food, sweets, stationary.... the list could go on. When I needed to set up my flat with household appliances and toiletries etc this is where I found it all and all for a fraction of what it would cost if you went to other stores or supermarkets.
9. Make friends with your work buddies
Edinburgh people tend to stick to their friend groups- and you're either a work colleague or a friend they've had since school. It's in your best interest to make friends with your work buddies and go along to after work drinks to meet new people and start a bit of a social life for yourself. This might seem a bit obvious, but even if you aren't keen on your work colleagues you'll still be in a social environment where you can meet others. Also, I cannot recommend highly enough that you take up a hobby. The University of Edinburgh offers short courses in a range of subjects (hello learning and friend making!), or you could join a gym (which is actually where I met all of my Edinburgh friends).
10. It's okay to panic!
Undoubtedly there is going to be a moment (probably several) when you panic and question why the hell you gave everything up to move somewhere new. I'm not going to lie, sometimes it's going to be tough. Especially when your friends back home get together to share a birthday or milestone and all you get to do is look at the pictures on Facebook. You're probably going to want your Mum a lot more then what you ever did when you were at home, and it's totally okay to burst into tears.....but I'm telling you now that it is all worth it. Every hard moment is often counteracted with many more moments of happiness.
Moving overseas was the best decision I have ever made, I've travelled to some amazing places, met some amazing people, worked in jobs I never thought I would find myself in, grown as a person, met the love of my life, but most importantly discovered the kind of person I am. Yes, I've had tears and many moments of doubt, but I wouldn't change any of them for an moment. It's okay to have your panic moments, but just remember why you wanted to move in the first place and be thankful for every new thing you see and experience- there's plenty of time to be safe and boring when you are old!

Euro 2012 Final: Most Important Players in Epic Spain vs. Italy RematchJune 28, 2012
It takes a complete team effort to win Euro 2012, but the individual performances of a few a players will sway the outcome of Sunday's final between Italy and Spain.
The two sides played to a 1-1 draw in the group stage, with Antonio Di Natale and Cesc Fabregas finding the net. This time around, though, the stakes are higher and the pressure is greater.
As the eyes of the world descend upon Kiev Olympic Stadium, the following players will need to step up. If they deliver, their team will likely lift the trophy. If they don't, they will have a long, quiet plane ride home while contemplating what could have been.
Mario Balotelli—Striker, Italy
If he is focused and levelheaded, Balotelli is an unstoppable force of football fury. His speed, strength, movement, skills in the air and rocket launcher of a right foot make him one of the most menacing strikers in the world.
Unfortunately, he often hurts his own team as much as his opponents. With his quick temper and generally unpredictable demeanor, you never know which Balotelli will show up.
We've already seen the best and worst of him in this tournament, from his baffling hesitation against Spain in the opening match to his brilliant two-goal performance that powered Italy past Germany in the semifinals.
If he plays with the confidence and maturity he displayed against the Germans, Italy will dethrone the champs. If he doesn't, the Italians will go down in flames.
Antonio Cassano—Forward, Italy
Although Balotelli will get the headlines (and deservedly so), it was Cassano's play that enabled Mario to spring free.
His constant and clever movement opened up the German defense, allowing Balotelli to find space and put the ball into the back of the net. Cassano even assisted on Balotelli's first goal, delivering a beautiful cross after spinning through two German defenders.
Look for the stingy Spanish defense to key in on Cassano, as he often holds the key to Italy's attack.
Jordi Alba—Midfielder, Spain
The Spaniards are known for their clinical passing, but Jordi Alba's streaking runs have been their best offensive weapon in the tournament.
The 23-year-old's constant energy has devastated opposing defenses thus far. It was his furious run through the French back line that allowed for Xabi Alonso's header in the quarterfinals, and he nearly led Spain to victory in extra time by delivering a gorgeous cross to Andres Iniesta against Portugal.
If Alba can get behind the Italian defenders on Sunday, he will put his team in perfect position to claim their third consecutive major trophy.
Sergio Ramos—Defender, Spain
Ramos was excellent against Portugal, frustrating Cristiano Ronaldo throughout and delivering that cheeky penalty above.
He will need another strong performance Sunday, when he will have his hands full with the likes of Balotelli, Cassano and Andrea Pirlo. He nearly crippled Spain in their first match against Italy, as it was his mistake that allowed Balotelli to break free. He went unpunished in that game, but I wouldn't count on another lucky break in the final.
Spain will need Ramos in top form on Sunday if they want to continue their dominance in major tournaments.

A heavy blog night (don't worry, if you know me - I am actually totally ok, curled up with kittens and a lovely cup of tea, but writing about tough stuff)
A post on xojane, http://www.xojane.com/issues/rape-and-suicide (TRIGGER WARNING!!! talks about rape and suicide, PTSD, etc), got me thinking about that whole to-be-or-not-to-be thing. The blogger on xojane has survived several sexual assaults; for her, one more time would be the last straw. And this made me wonder - if it happened to me, again, what would I do? I want to think that it wouldn't happen, that lightning doesn't strike twice. Of course, life doesn't quite work that way; there is no life-long immunity to rape after it happens the first time. One of the commenters echoed what I think I feel about this as well - rather than it being the last straw, it would be another challenge to get through, but one that is perhaps easier than the first time, knowing that survival is possible even though it's hard as fuck.
So many folks in the comments (yes, I read the comments on everything...) say that they've always had suicide as a back-up plan. A friend of mine has often said the same thing for her life, and the possibility of having that last resort taken away from her was terrifying. I'm different (luckily, I guess) and I'm not sure what contributes to that. Not surviving has just never been an option that I'm willing to consider. It's letting him win.
Another thing I've been grappling with these past few weeks is the idea of forgiveness. It'll be 10 years this April, and I still cannot bring myself to look at his picture in my high-school yearbook for fear that I'll then know what he looks like (my eyesight was bad enough 10 years ago that I could not see him clearly enough to recognize him; in my mind, he doesn't have a face) and be able to know if I saw him on the street who he was - and I fear that then I'd kill him, or else explode with rage. So many people say to forgive, even though forgetting is impossible. I have trouble with that. I really do believe that some things cannot be forgiven.
Dying is letting him win; forgiving is letting him win; even as much as I'd like to push things aside, forgetting is letting him win. I can move past the flashbacks and surf on the waves of rage without being pulled under, but dammit if I'm going to venture inland.

AMERICAN PAINT SERVICE, INC., A CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLANT,v.THE HOME INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK, A FOREIGN CORPORATION AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN NEW JERSEY.
Author: Kalodner
Before McLAUGHLIN, KALODNER and HASTIE, Circuit Judges.
KALODNER, Circuit Judge.
Is false testimony in a trial on a fire insurance policy a factor which the jury should consider in determining whether an insured is guilty of "fraud or false swearing" under a standard policy provision which makes the policy void for wilful concealment or misrepresentations of material facts by the insured before or after the loss?
That question is presented on this appeal from the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey entered pursuant to a jury verdict.
The facts may be summarized as follows:
American Paint Service, Inc. ("American") brought suit in the Superior Court of New Jersey upon a policy of fire insurance issued by the defendant, The Home Insurance Company of New York ("insurer"). The policy included coverage against loss resulting from "business interruption" at premises located at 139 Broadway, Paterson, New Jersey, and occupied by American as a paint and wallpaper supply store. The policy coverage, commonly called a "use and occupancy" endorsement, was in the face amount of $30,000 and in its complaint American claimed that a fire interrupted its business resulting in a business interruption loss of $24,467.72.
After removal of the action to the United States District Court of New Jersey, the insurer filed its answer in which it as stated that American was guilty of fraud and false swearing and of wilfully starting the fire. Upon the jury's verdict of no cause of action, judgment was entered for the insurer pursuant to which American now prosecutes this appeal.
At the close of the evidence American had moved to strike the defense of incendiarism on the ground that the evidence relating thereto was legally insufficient. The trial judge denied this motion. American did not renew its motion after the jury's verdict as it was required to do in order for this Court to pass on the legal sufficiency of the evidence. Fed.R.Civ.P. Rule 50(b), 28 U.S.C.; Cone v. West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co., 1947, 330 U.S. 212, 67 S. Ct. 752, 91 L. Ed. 849.
With respect to the defense of fraud and false swearing American also now urges, for the first time, that the evidence on that issue was legally insufficient. American made no motion under Rule 50(b) either before or after the verdict on the issue of fraud and false swearing. That being so, the question may not be raised on appeal. 5 Moore's Federal Practice § 50.05 (2d Ed. 1951).
While American's failure to make appropriate motions with respect to the legal sufficiency of the evidence precludes this Court from acting thereon, a new trial must be granted due to errors in the trial judge's charge which were timely objected to by American at the trial.
In charging the jury on the issue of fraud and false swearing, the trial judge read the policy provision which provides:
"This entire policy shall be void if, whether before or after a loss, the insured has wilfully concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance concerning this insurance or the subject thereof, or the interest of the insured therein, or in case of any fraud or false swearing by the insured relating thereto."
With respect to this clause the trial judge charged:
"I would charge you that that fraud or false swearing clause applies not simply to what the Cohen Brothers [officers of American], for instance, or either of them may have said before this trial occurred, ...

Quick Looks: A Wallflower Christmas
A Wallflower Christmas
By Lisa Kleypas
The Premise: Rafe Bowman, American millionaire, cad, and brother to Wallflower Lillian, is in England looking for a bride. Though he has no real desire to marry, his father has commanded that he make an advantageous match, and has chosen Lady Natalie Blandford for his son. For her part, Lady Natalie understands that this is as much a business arrangement as anything else, and is willing to give Rafe the benefit of the doubt, especially since he is so attractive and charming. Her companion, poor relation Hannah, is not so sure. When Lillian invites her to tea so that the Wallflowers can quiz her about Lady Natalie, she readily accepts, planning to do a little investigating herself. When Hannah and Rafe meet, she decides that he is all wrong for Natalie – he is arrogant, boorish, and ill mannered. As far as she is concerned, he has no idea how to behave in polite society. Rafe decides that Hannah is far too prim and proper, and is determined to get a reaction out of her. When he takes advantage of a private moment to kiss her, Hannah is both horrified and intrigued. But more than anything, she is convinced that this man is in no way appropriate for her elegant cousin, and devoutly hopes that Natalie will agree once they are all thrown together at Lord Westcliff's Christmas house party.
What I Liked: I confess I am a fan of the Wallflowers, so I liked seeing them again in supporting roles. Rafe is a delightful hero, and though Hannah started off a little prissy she really grew on me quickly. As always in a Kleypas novel, the secondary characters had a lot of depth and really added something to the story.
What I Didn't: It would have been nice to see a little more of Natalie's other suitor; that storyline felt a bit rushed.
Overall: This was a nice, short Christmas love story, great for taking a break from the holiday madness.

Since Paul gets paid monthly, we have had some huge budgetary adjustments to make. Namely, we need to figure out a method for not running out of money at the end of the month!
So I thought I'd give once a month shopping a try.
I spent just a hair under $500 but that included 30 dinner meals, breakfast, lunch, and snack staples, and non food items such as disposable diapers & wipes, shampoo, razors, toilet tissue, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc.
On a side note, we have all been sick for 2 weeks now. Griffin and I have both done 10 days of abx but are still sick. Now Tucker and Paul are sick as well. We've all been back to the doctor adn are all on another course of abx. The ped cultured Griffin's nose & ear; she also cx'd Tucker's throat. The office called today and everything grew HIB.......so, we're all on self imposed bedrest. Try telling that to 2 boys, of course.
They are driving me so batty that I'm ready to send them out to the playground to infect every child on campus, but I suppose I'd be peeved if I were another parent.
Sis is the only one that has escaped any illness thus far. Her one year birthday is coming up in another week, so I've been doing a lot of doll research. She owns one Corolle doll that she got when she was born (the boys picked it out for her then) and she adores that thing. I looked at all the Corolle dolls as well as dolls from Manhattan Toy Co. and a few other places. But in the end, I ordered her an Itty Bitty doll from American Girl. They are just too dang cute. It should be here next week. I'm probably more excited than her!

Sea Monsters
We are proud to announce (if only at second-hand) the 21st century's first great discovery about sea monsters. In a paper to be published this month in the Archives of Natural History, Charles Paxton and two colleagues reveal a possible historical truth about certain sea monsters. Here is the citation: "Cetaceans, Sex and Sea Serpents: An Analysis of the Egede Accounts of a 'Most Dreadful Monster' Seen Off the Coast of Greenland in 1734," C.G.M. Paxton, E. Knatterud and S.L. Hedley, Archives of Natural History, vol. 32, no. 1, 2005, pp. 1-9. The authors report that:I have no joke here. Thanks to Improbable Research for the tip.
"[T]here is an alternative explanation for the [reported sighting of a] serpent-like tail. Many of the large baleen whales have long, snake-like penises. If the animal did indeed fall on its back then its ventral surface would have been uppermost and, if the whale was aroused, the usually retracted penis would have been visible. The penises of the North Atlantic right whale and (Pacific) grey whale can be at least 1.8 metres long, and 1.7 metres long respectively, and could be taken by a naive witness for a tail."
Also of interest to some sickos out there, necrophilia in pigeons.
