As we walked in, we saw a couple having dinner and we were the 2nd customers. The time was about 6.30 pm on a Friday. Looked like we were ahead of the dinner crowd. We didn't have to wait long for our food, In fact, the food was fast in arriving at our table that the photo taking will have to wait till after dinner. So first, let us enjoy all the delicious food that we have ordered for our dinner.
We must go back to try the dumpling (bak chang).
Below are some photos showing the interior of the restaurant.


text: When you first start hearing better with hearing aids, there's a little of an adjustment period. The first few days with your new devices are essential to your success and satisfaction, because they can influence whether you continue to use your devices. At first, many sounds will seem louder than they were before you got your hearing aids, and you will pay much more attention to your surroundings than usual. You will also discover sounds that you may not have heard for a long time.

Usually, files in
/etc/pam.d/ are simple, linear descriptions of how a user should be authenticated, e.g. "Try to authenticate him against ldap, and then against the local data base". But sometimes, you want something more advanced, for example "If the user is called guest, please authenticate him with
pam_dbus, otherwise use regular
pam_unix." This is possible, and here I'll note down how to do that.
There are actually two problems to solve: How to detect the username, and then how to do the flow control.
For the first problem, I recently discovered the
pam_succeed_if module, that allows for relatively advanced logic for checking uids, usernames, hostnames and group membership. For our case, the line would read
auth ? pam_succeed_if.so quiet user = guest
Now what next? If we just wanted to allow unrestricted access to guest, we could put "sufficient" for the questionmark. But we need something like
if..then..else. Unfortunately (and I hope this will be fixed eventually), the only flow control available is "skip the next n lines". So we can skip to
pam_unix when this module fails (i.e. the user was someone else but guest), and if we did not skip, we can run the guest-specific module and then skip over
pam_unix. So here is the complete snippet:
auth [default=2 success=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so quiet user = guest
auth [success=ok new_authtok_reqd=done ignore=ignore default=die] pam_dbus.so
auth [default=1] pam_permit.so
auth required pam_unix.so
You can read more about this advanced configuration in the PAM Administration guide. And here is the corresponding configuration for gdm, where guest can always login:
auth [default=2 success=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so quiet user = guest
auth required pam_permit.so
auth [default=1] pam_permit.so
auth required pam_unix.so
So I have a guest account with a locked password and I can allow ssh logins with a mouse click and use it directly with gdm. I probably should put the gdm configuration also in xscreensaver to not lock me out.
Have something to say? You can post a comment by sending an e-Mail to me at <firstname.lastname@example.com>, and I will include it here.

Dreameater Merry: Shakugan no Shana III. Merry=Shana, Yumeji=Yuuji, Yui=Yoshida. About half the show consisted of battles in dreams, and the fighting was quite well done. Except most of the battles were two people talking about how they believed in themselves and explaining their attacks. I shouldn't be surprised by this though, considering the track record of all shounen fighting shows ever created. The other half of the show consisted of people looking beyond the camera from one side of the screen and tilting their necks with the wind blowing through their hair. Sure, it's a nice pose, but when it's the only pose in your show there's an issue.
With that said, I largely enjoyed Yumekui Merry overall. Sure, it doesn't have the most original plot or the best dialogue, but its excellent execution helps to make up for that. The visuals and music are both fantastic, especially for the scenes in the dream world.
- Plot / Script – 7 / 10 – Fairly predictable plot, dialogue is often overly sentimental and preachy.
- Characters – 7 / 10 – Yumeji and Merry struck me poorly because their main pastime seems to looking cool and posing. The two main antagonists didn't really do much except laugh evilly too.
- Production – 9 / 10 – Gorgeous visuals and the music fits very well.
- Overall – C-
Recommendations – Shakugan no Shana, Pandora Hearts

Rain threw a spanner in the works during the second race of DTM's first ever weekend of night racing. Joel Eriksson mastered the conditions to take his first win, becoming the second-youngest winner of a DTM race after Pascal Wehrlein.
With the youngest driver in the field having an awesome day, the oldest was making a decent fist of things, too. 51-year-old motorsport legend Zanardi (who famously lost his legs following a horrific Champ Car accident in 2001) made a guest appearance driving a specially-adapted car.
He was a little off the pace for the whole weekend, but the unusual weather provided him with an opportunity for a result. On a drying track, he was one of four drivers who stuck with wet tyres long enough to benefit when the rain came down again. With most of the field crawling around on slicks and having to make a second stop, the wet runners gained a lap on everyone but Eriksson (who'd been the only driver to start on slicks).
The safety car came out following a spin for Lucas Auer, and with the top five now pretty much a lap ahead of the rest, Zanardi's strategy had proved to be the perfect one and he held on for a remarkable result. Eriksson's gamble also paid off – by starting on slicks and making his sole mandatory stop early, he benefitted from the safety car closing everybody up and held on to take his first win.
A crazy race? Absolutely – but it doesn't take away from Zanardi's impressive achievement. DTM is a seriously tough championship and to be even vaguely competitive on debut at his age, with his limitations and despite not having raced for two years is just another big tick on the long list of his amazing career achievements. He was typically modest in his assessment of the weekend too, saying:
"In some parts of the race, my speed was OK, but I was worried as I didn't want to get into the way of anyone. Thanks to the DTM family for welcoming me as a 51-year-old rookie in an incomparable way. I can hardly wait to go and have a beer and celebrate with my team now."
Zanardi isn't done yet, either – next year he'll race a BMW M8 GTE in the Daytona 24 Hours.

Adena Rohatiner has been working in fashion since college. While studying marketing at Stern College and The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, she landed plum internships with Glamour Magazine and Teri John. During her summer breaks, Adena interned at Joie and James Perse and ultimately with Rachel Zoe. It was that experience that cemented her desire to be a professional stylist. After graduating from college, Adena worked for two top Hollywood stylists, Estee Stanley and Christina Ehrlich. Adena assisted in styling high profile celebrities, as well as developing their new clothing line called Miss Davenporte. Several years later, Adena worked on the syndicated television show Extra, styling anchor Maria Menounos for her daily on air appearances, as well as for her many red carpet events. In 2014 Adena started her own business, styling celebrity clients for red carpets, commercials and magazine editorials.
Some of her clients include Grace Gealey, Mayim Bialik, Torrey Devitto, Us the Duo, Madelaine Petsch, and Chrissie Fitt--a mix of established and rising stars in the industry.
Adena is based in Los Angeles, with other locations upon request.

Remember the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning? The performance pickup lasted through two generations of the F-150 but eventually bowed out with the arrival of the 2004 model, never to return.
That is, until now.
This Lightning isn't built by Ford, though. It's a tribute truck built by the dealership Pioneer Ford of Bremen, Georgia, and it has a stout 650 horsepower all for the very reasonable price tag of $49,661.
That's quite the leap in performance compared to the last Lightning. In case you've forgotten, it had 380 hp in its final iteration. Pioneer Ford's Lightning uses a supercharged version of the F-150's available 5.0-liter V-8 to muster all that grunt.
2001 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning
There are a few visual tweaks, too, including 22-inch wheels mimicking the pattern of the last Lightning's wheels, plus side exhausts and lowered suspension. Pioneer Ford also tacks on an SVT badge. We'd recommend deleting this particular option.
As the folks at Hooniverse point out, Pioneer Ford's Lightning is built off an F-150 with a regular cab and the shortest bed possible. There are also the fewest luxury items as possible, just like the last Lightning. Of course, since this isn't actually an official product, we're sure Pioneer Ford will be happy to turn any new F-150 into one of its Lightnings.
Given Ford's decision to replace the Lightning with the Raptor, we're unlikely to see a rival of the nameplate via official means. That doesn't matter as Pioneer Ford's tribute truck is a worthy alternative.
Interestingly, it's not the only company taking a trip down F-150 memory lane. Ford tuner Roush late last year unveiled a modern-day Nitemare.

Organ section
SK Pro features the state-of-the-art Modeled Tone Wheel 1 (MTW1) sound engine pioneered by Hammond XK-5 and widely recognized as the standard in digital tone wheel sound. The Virtual Multi-Contact function replicates the keyboard performance of a vintage Hammond Organ, allowing the player to experience distinctive Hammond feel in every detail. In addition to great drawbar sounds, SK Pro also models Italian, British and Japanese transistor combo organs as well as a full range of classical pipe organ voices and, for the first time in any modern keyboard, a range of theatre pipe organ voices.
Organ effects
The built-in digital Leslie brings deeper authenticity including the airflow of Leslie rotors, faithfully reproducing the Leslie's unique tone and three-dimensional effect, while an improved tube modeling system provides the essential Hammond 'tube warmth.' A special system emulating the 'matching transformer' of a vintage Hammond organ adds striking authenticity to drawbar tones.
Piano and Ensemble sections
SK Pro contains high-quality samples of the world's leading grand piano sounds, including a new 'S' sample of a legendary European piano. 162 high-definition digital voices (upgraded in resolution from previous SK models) provide a wide variety of additional tonal possibilities, many new to the SK series. All Piano and Ensemble voices can be fully edited: sample choice, EG, filter, LFO and other parameters are now in your control and can be saved as a patch. 12 sub-category buttons allow easy and instant tone selection. Hammond's exclusive ProChord feature is available on many voices, letting the player reproduce complex harmonies by playing a single-note melody while playing chords with the left hand.
Mono Synth section
SK Pro incorporates a physical modeling synthesizer that faithfully reproduces the sounds of classic analog mono synths. Six different oscillator configurations are provided as well as controls for filter and amplitude, allowing the player to create and tweak sounds in real time just like on a classic analog synth.
Patches and Combinations
SK Pro's basic voice unit is a Patch, storing source sounds and all parameter programming, with both factory and user patches: 100 of each for the Organ and Mono Synth sections and 300 factory, 100 user for the Piano and Ensemble Sections.

Using the four centrally-located section-enabling Allocate buttons a player can call up any part of a combination in real time, effectively providing four discrete, instantly-accessible keyboards per combination. Any ten combinations may be assigned to the Favorites buttons for instant access, with ten banks of ten Favorites each available.
In addition to the dedicated reverb effect control on the top panel, each of the four voice sections can receive overdrive with four models provided as well as two types of comprehensive DSP multi-effects, including chorus, delay, tremolo, phaser, flanger, wah, ring modulator, compressor and auto-pan options.
Performance controls
SK Pro incorporates pitch bend and modulation wheels for expression. Each voice section has its own volume control for realtime section mixing and balancing.

I remember a time when it was widely believed that Internet shopping would never happen, because people were too afraid that their credit card details will be stolen. People were paranoid about their personal data.
Yet today we put our personal details on Facebook, our creative work on Blogger and send our most intimate messages through Gmail. Some of us are even starting to keep our documents on Google Docs, and our diaries on Google Calendar.
People look at me strangely when I tell them I'm waiting for Twitter to decentralize. Microblogging is blogging in miniature. There's no technical reason why people shouldn't host their own microblogs, just like they host their own blogs.
Project like Open Social imply that Facebook type websites could also fully decentralize. Facebook is popular because they insist that you use real names. If you had a central directory linking real names to websites, then the social networking aspect of FB could also be fully decentralized and self-hosted.
What about Gmail, Google Docs and Google Calendar? They could be replaced by webtop systems like EyeOS, G.ho.st, or DesktopTwo.
These systems form your exocortex. If it exists in corporate owned and corporate-centralized form, why should you bother with user-centralizing and hosting it yourself?
Ignore for a moment all the the privacy issues surrounding Facebook, YouTube and even Google. Ignore also how fragmented your digital identity currently is.
What will you do if Google accidentally locks you out of your account? Can this really happen? It already has.
When you give your personal data to any company, and expect them to do the right thing, you're looking for trouble. It's your responsibility to safeguard your data. The only way you can do that is by hosting your own exocortex. It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

As fall begins and winter approaches, we're all starting to plan our tropical getaways. Building up to their 10-year anniversary, Envision has set up a full week of activities for anyone who chooses to buy into their 7-day festival package. While those who want to travel down for just the main musical acts from February 19th-24th can still purchase standard tickets, the festival has exclusive artists, workshops, excursions, and experiences for folks who want to come a few days early.
Envision is advertising each of their "headliners" to provide retreat-style workshops on their respective areas of expertise. Paul Stamets is a well-known advocate for the medicinal use of mushrooms and will be giving a lecture entitled Psilocybin Mushrooms: "The Paradigm Shift is Now!" Amanda Sage is a brilliant American painter whose artworks have been displayed around the world. "Her paintings represent multidimensional aspects of humanness in harmonious balance, inspiring a re-membering of an energetic inter-connectedness that is present and shared with all things." Her workshop is: "Through the Mirror: Charcoal on Watercolor paper." There are plenty more intriguing experiences planned for those who take the leap and attend early, you can check out full descriptions on their facebook post below.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, the clock is ticking! 7-Day Experience tickets are only on sale through this Sunday, September 22nd. For prices and more information, follow the link to their website here!

What is the TMJ?
TMJ is the abbreviation for temporomandibular joint. Everyone has two of these joints, and the term "TMJ" refers to the normal, healthy joint on each side of the skull that allows the lower jaw to function during speech, swallowing, and chewing. The name of the joint comes from the two bones that make up each side of the joint. Like all joints, the TMJ is made of muscle, ligaments, cartilage, and bone with supporting nerves and nutritional supply in the form of synovial fluid.
The temporal bones of the skull form the "roof" and "inside" of the TMJ, and the mandible (lower jaw) makes up the floor of the joint, which moves in three directions: It rotates around an imaginary axis for the first part of the opening stroke of the jaw and the last part of the closing stroke; it translates , or slides, down and forward from the endpoint of rotation to maximum jaw opening; and, it moves side to side. Specifically, the part of the mandible that is involved with the TMJ is called the condyle, and the part of the temporal bone involved in the joint is called the temporal fossa. Because the TMJ moves in three planes of space, unlike all other joints in the body that move like a hinge, the TMJ is called a ginglymoarthroidal joint. Between the two bones is a cartilaginous disc that serves as sort of a shock absorber to protect the joint that slides with the condyle during the range of motion. Attaching to the disc and the mandible is a specific muscle, called the lateral pterygoid that pulls the disc and the jaw forward as the jaw translates. There also ligaments that hold the disc to the condyle on each side of the disc, called collateral ligaments.
A discussion of the TMJ is not complete without mentioning that the mandible is essentially a bone floating in space. In fact, when ancient skulls are discovered in archaeology, the mandibles are usually absent because the soft tissue has all been lost, allowing separation of the mandible from the skull.
This means that the function, health, and stability of the TMJ is totally dependent on the supporting muscles and ligaments of the head and neck and the teeth that provide a stop at the right place for optimal chewing strength.
The masseter muscles, the temporalis muscles, the digastric muscles, the medial pterygoid muscles, and the lateral pterygoid muscles are the primary muscles involved in jaw function. Since these muscles all work by pulling on the bones of the skull, it is important to consider that the skull is like a bowling ball balancing on a broken broomstick, which is the spine. This balancing act requires harmony in function of many supporting muscles of the upper back, neck, chest, and shoulders. Therefore, it is easy to understand how many problems of the head, neck, and upper back can manifest themselves as TMJ problems; sometimes, TMJ problems can also present as dental problems, neck pain, headaches, etc. Often, the term "TMJ" is incorrectly used to refer to a problem that does not easily fit another diagnosis by the medical community.
Dr. Huff discusses TMJ/TMD
VIDEO: TMJ Disorder
What is TMD?
When any part of the anatomical structures or supporting structures of the TMJ is injured or damaged, dysfunction occurs. While "TMJ" refers to the temporomandibular joint itself, "TMD" refers to temporomandibular disorder. TMD syndrome is a vague term that usually involves one or more conditions listed below and/or others not mentioned:
- Tendonitis
- Myofascial pain
- Myositis
- Myalgia
- Osteoarthritis
- Degenerative Joint Disease
- Retrodiscitis
- Tinnitis
- Headaches of various types
- Dislocation of the disc
- Subluxation of the disc
- Muscle spasm
- Cervicalgia
TMD Treatment
Treatment for TMD is dependent on the specific diagnoses involved and is typically directed to resolving pain rather than reducing joint noises (popping, clicking, etc.). Joint noises are evidence that injury has occurred and are signs rather than symptoms. Pain, compromised quality of life, and compromised function, however, are symptoms that treatment is typically directed toward.
Treatment for TMJ disorders is controversial, and clinicians often differ in their approach. Some tend to treat physically (physical therapy, bite splint therapy, chiropractic, etc.), some tend to approach treatment from a medical model (medications, mental health therapy, etc.), and some practice the philosophy that TMD tends to be self-limiting and opt not to treat but rather provide supportive care only.
The reality is that successful management of TMD usually involves elements of each approach and often requires a team approach involving some or all of the following healthcare providers: dentist, mental health specialist, family physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, massotherapist, orofacial pain specialist, oral surgeon, etc.
Because TMD is often a chronic pain disorder, compromises in mental health in the form of depression, anxiety, psychosomatic conditions, all of which may require the assistance of a psychiatrist.
Dentists often use bite splints to treat TMD syndrome
The type of splint used should be dependent on a specific diagnosis of a specific condition. For this reason, different types of splints may be used at different times during the treatment of TMD. In fact, splints may actually also be used for diagnostic purposes to rule out complicating factors.
Importance of Early Treatment for TMD
Additional Information on TMJ & TMD
Do I Have TMJ?
When someone has jaw pain, pain in or around the ear, and/or popping or clicking in front of the ear, they're likely to ask their dentist if they have "TMJ."
However, this isn't technically the right question to ask, since EVERYONE has TMJ—two of them, to be accurate.
The term TMJ is an abbreviation that refers to the jaw joint, known as the temporomandibular joint. Everyone has these joints, and they allow us to chew, swallow, speak and keep our airways open.
When someone asks if they have "TMJ," it is more likely that they have a temporomandibular disorder, or TMD. Even then, TMD is a broad term and not a diagnosis of a specific disorder. There are many possible issues that fall under this blanket, each which may require a different type of treatment (if they require treatment at all)—muscle injuries, bone problems, inflammation of blood vessels, etc.
Most patients with a temporomandibular disorder will have more than one of these, and, for best results, they will require treatment that targets each of the issues that contribute to their symptoms.
Treatment for TMD
Initial treatments for temporomandibular disorders typically include self-care regimens assigned by your provider, exercises, behavioral therapy, physical therapy, bite splints ("nightguards"), and the like. Various medications may also be prescribed, including antidepressants, anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants. Dietary supplements can help as well. Caution: Athletic-type mouthguards and store-bought bite splints may cause significant injury in many types of TMD and should never be recommended.
It's only after these options have been explored that more permanent options such as bite adjustments or surgical proceeders will be considered.
A thorough diagnosis of TMD involves an in-depth review of the patient's medical and dental history, including looking for risk factors for sleep disorders and psychological risks, as well as a thorough physical exam of the head and screening of cranial nerves. Imaging like panoramic x-rays, conebeam CT, and MRI are usually considered and used as appropriately indicated. As there are over forty recognized diagnoses that fall under "TMD," a thorough approach is required in order to find the source(s) of the problem before an appropriate treatment plan can be developed.
Being told you may have TMD is a starting point, but isn't enough to determine the best course of treatment for you. If you've suffered from any of the symptoms we described above and have ineffective treatment in the past, it's very likely that you may need a more accurate diagnosis of the real problems behind your pain. Make an appointment with Dr. Huff to find out what a specialist in orofacial pain can do for you.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – AutoTrader.com is entering NASCAR with two different teams and its Kelley Blue Book brand.
AutoTrader.com has joined Team Penske as the primary sponsor for Joey Logano at the July race at New Hampshire. The online company will also be an associate sponsor on Logano's No. 22 Ford for the entire season.
Kelley Blue Book has joined Hendrick Motorsports as the primary sponsor for Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Sonoma in June and as an associate sponsor the rest of the season. Kelley Blue Book is a subsidiary of AutoTrader.com.
Both brands had relationships with Hendrick Automotive Group and Penske Automotive Group, and used them to venture into NASCAR for the first time.
"We've looked at NASCAR over the years and felt like this was a good time to jump in," said Jessica Stafford, senior director of consumer marketing for AutoTrader Group. "This gives us the ability to speak with and engage with the avid NASCAR fans and get into a sport where it is about associating with cars."
The deals with Hendrick and Penske are both for two years and coincide with a new advertising campaign AutoTrader.com will launch this summer.
More than 17 million consumers visit AutoTrader.com each month to research their next vehicle purchase, and Stafford said one-third of that traffic comes from the so-called millennial generation, which fits with the 23-year-old Logano.
Earnhardt Jr., welcomed Kelley Blue Book to his No. 88 Chevrolet.
"As a car enthusiast and dealership owner, I've trusted them for years for vehicle valuation and information," he said.
Rick Hendrick, who operates more than 120 dealerships across the country, said he's worked with Kelley Blue Book for many years.
"NASCAR is a terrific marketing platform for their products and services, and it presents new opportunities for our companies to work together," Hendrick said. "We're excited to welcome a new partner and team them with an incredible spokesperson in Dale Jr."

Dear Ken Steel, You wrote: ---begin quote--- LEHMANN: > If 11179 fails to have any standardized basic "semantic content" at all, >who will provide it? STEEL: How did you arrive at that conclusion? ---pause quote--- Someone on X3L8 told me, to my dismay, that disputes over the semantic content of the 11179 "Object Taxonomy" had caused some committee members to decide on having no taxonomy at all rather than prolonging the disputes. Since this discussion is read by X3L8 members, they are in a good position to reply and clarify this issue -- explain what the dispute was, and what the resolution was. ---resume quote--- LEHMANN: > Thanks for clarifying the relation of ISO 11179 to the EDI BSR >(Basic Semantic Repository). Denis Hill, head of the UN BSR committee, >has said things a number of times in email that seem to warn against >excessive attention to correctness and detail, so that the BSR effort can >move forward fast as a practical matter. STEEL: That is an incorrect conclusion as to Denis Hill's position. What is happening is Denis is refusing to be side-tracked by red-herrrings. There is a lot of care going into the semantic content of the BSR by the whole production team INCLUDING Denis Hill. ---pause quote--- I based my remarks partly on Hill's own email remarks about "red herrings" among others. Would you please explain in some detail what semantic issues you and Denis Hill have determined to be red herrings. LEHMANN: >This is quite legitimate, but >I am reminded that the same "practical orientation" (dispensing with >careful analysis of meanings and coordinating of different sources) STEEL: That is not happening with the BSR. You really should stop listening to people who don't know what is actually happening. PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, FRITZ BEFORE CRITICISING!!!!!!!!!! I must say you are surprising me. You are usually quite careful about analysis and conclusions. Why are you being so stupid in this case? ---end quote--- I was attempting to glean Hill's view from his "red-herring" remarks and others which seemed to emphasize speed over care. To assist me in getting my facts straight, it would be helpful if more BSR facts were posted by BSR people to the BSR list; I have been watching it for quite a while and have seen few technical facts. As for the people I'm listening to not knowing what is happening, I confess to presuming that committee members do. I am very happy to be corrected, and I would like to learn the process by which all the Basic Semantic Units are being defined, and see the actual repository definitions. Despite my stupidity, I am still a supporter of the BSR and 11179 which I have been praising, if you recall; I just have become worried lately that they are now considering turning away from "the high road" in the name of "practicality". If this is demonstrably untrue, I'm reassured. Yours truly, Fritz Lehmann GRANDAI Software, 4282 Sandburg Way, Irvine, CA 92715, U.S.A.

We make these hands-free door openers (which we use on the doors at our business). See photos for how effortless it is to open a door – – even in a Croc! . With the opener, you easily open a door with your shoe rather than your hands. Everyone here seems to prefer opening using a shoe bottom, but we made it to be opened from the underside, too.
Upgraded, stronger/more sleek, slotless top design and wider bottom dirt/drain slots.
With this design, you will need 4 wood screws to screw it to a solid-wood door. For hollow core wood doors, you will need to bolt all the way through and use washers on the other side. For a steel door, you will need #8 or #12 self-tapping screws or bolts long enough to bolt through the door.
We use 1/8" thick steel so this will last for years to come. These are powder coated black for durability.
We at RiverDriveDesigns are based in Cartersville, Georgia, and design/make all our own pergola brackets, shop table brackets, Candle Toppers, and True Bullnose(R) padded carpet stair treads. We are a small, family-owned/operated business which proudly pays a living wage, sources raw materials locally, and recycles all scrap steel.
Thank you for your business!

She is lying on her belly, her face turned towards one side. I am on top of her, my body covering every inch of her skin. My shaft deep inside her well of pleasure. I have my hands under her armpits, and my feet are entangled with hers. We are rocking this bed as the rain pours outside.
I can feel her body shaking as she reaches the next orgasm. I stop for an instant to enjoy the fantastic feeling of her vagina contracting on my shaft as her sexuality is expressing the levels we have reached together. I ask her if she wants me to stop.
I can come one more time
Is her answer. And so I get back to work, digging in deeper in search of a higher form of communion with my love. For there is nothing more pleasurable to me than to witness her extraordinary orgasmic reactions to our loving.
I had never seen a soul as free as hers. We are in a traditional hotel in the heart of this Asian metropolis. We were lucky to get into our tiny room before the thunderstorm struck. She runs fully naked to the door, remembering the sneakers she left outside.
God oh god, that gait of hers, so elegant. That beautiful nakedness, the most sensual collection of curves I've ever seen. Her playful breasts bouncing as her fantastic long legs move her across the room. And then she opens the door and bends down, presenting to me the flower of her sex in full bloom. As she closes the door and turns back I can only tell her:
You are so elegant, your body just a work of art, it is as if you were walking while on fire.
I don't think I've ever been so attracted to anyone as I am with you. You turn on my animal instincts.
You have opened the cage, I can run wild and free chasing you again and again and again. So come here, Bunny.
As she comes back to bed she has flicked a switch inside of me. I have to own her right there, at just that moment. She looks at me expectantly as I ask her to lie in bed belly down. I use my left hand to set her hair to the side as she places her head on the pillow. I make sure she is not hitting the bedpost as happened yesterday.
She opens her legs just enough to enable me to penetrate her. I have to grab my manhood and aim for the right entrance, for everything is so wet down there that otherwise it could just slide through the wrong door. As I make contact she sights an approving, "Right there."
I am pinning her down now. I move my hands under her armpits and embrace her fully. I ask her if I am not too heavy for her, but she answers that she wants to feel my weight on her. I try to move my center of gravity to my knees, but I must admit that I enjoy the full body contact. Her feet are looking for mine, and we join them together in a bow as if wrapping the treasure of our loving.
Our rocking starts. The bed posts start hitting the wall. I hope the neighbors have earplugs ready, for this will go on for a while. She is so wet for me, and her cunt feels bespoke made for my rod. I am digging for the deep meaning of it all, and it feels as if I am getting somehow closer to the source of truth. Our bodies just match like two puzzle pieces, made for each other no matter which position you throw us in.
I love hearing her heavy breathing, and the little ahhs and ohhs that she expels. She curses me with her "oh fucks". My mouth starts looking for hers and our lips get connected for a sensual kiss. Suddenly she needs to grab some more air. I start bracing for impact, for I know that the first of her orgasms will reach us soon.
I love seeing the expression on her face as she is getting to the highest point. She opens her eyes as if she has just received a revelation of sorts. And her mouth turns into a shape that looks to me half pain and half pleasure. I stop our rocking and feel her contractions on my shaft.
But my baby is hungry for more tonight. She starts moving her hips, asking my rod for more. I have no option but to comply, and our loving dance resumes. We start kissing again as if there is no tomorrow. This way of making love is so primal, savage, just like the thunderstorm outside. This expression of love is a force of nature. In this moment nothing else matters, nothing else exists. It is just the melting of two bodies to become one. The sweat, the heat, the hotness, the maximum expression of our horniness for each other.
She wants to come yet again. And the way she is caressing my rod is calling for the release of my fluids. She wants me to fill her up. She tells me:
Come for me Teddy, I want to feel all of it inside of me
Thunder strikes outside at the same time as my manhood is shaking inside of her. Pouring rain as I am pouring myself into her. The sound of the wind as I am out of breath. Her vagina contracts as if trying to squeeze me dry. And suddenly, as unexpectedly as it came, the storm is gone.
I move to my side of the bed and she cuddles around me. Her leg on top of mine, her boobs caressing my chest. Her hand on my shoulder, and a good night kiss.

As AM&P Network's Associations Council continues to grow and evolve, we are rededicating ourselves to the values, goals and initiatives that have helped us serve members like you over the years. Perhaps nowhere is that more important than ensuring all our members are represented, welcomed, and heard through our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
To reaffirm our commitment to progressive change, we are unveiling a new DEI statement and implementation plan.
"I am thrilled that we are taking steps like this to better serve and support our members," says Diane Rusignola, Associations Council advisory board president and senior editorial director at Nareit. "The association publishing industry has evolved significantly over the past year. Some of our companies have added new and specialized team members, pivoted publications, launched new products, and made other changes to better fit our members' lives. Changes like this are so important for all of our missions."
Our new statement reiterates the Council's commitment to anti-racism, eliminating other prejudices, and to elevating equity in all areas of our community.
"As we stand up against inequality, we will actively honor all voices from marginalized groups or communities. In service of our association members and industry service partners, we are responsible for ensuring that the Associations Council is regularly making progressive change toward diversity, equity and inclusion."
— AM&P Network Associations Council Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement
This new statement represents the culmination of the latest efforts of the DEI Initiative that started last year and is being led by Randy Townsend and Kaylen Tucker. The initiative is focused on dedicating ourselves to five pillars: collaborative opportunities, knowledge development, member experience, organizational policy, and representation.
"This is a long-term initiative with several stages — looking within the Associations Council organization and thinking about some of the elements: the programming, topics we cover, the reputation that we have — looking at every aspect," says Tucker, associate executive director of communications and editor-in-chief of NAESP. "I think a next stage is being able to share recommendations and how other professional organizations can do the same."
The Associations Council aims to advance our DEI goals through action on a consistent and ongoing basis. As we begin this initiative in 2021 and 2022, those actions will include an initial eight-point plan: this DEI statement; our new Equity Award, to be presented in its inaugural year on June 16 during the EXCEL Awards; and continued content development; as well as new work on collaboration with the ISP community; training for volunteer leaders; membership surveys; an equity audit; and creation of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council.
"This past year has brought a tremendous amount of attention to social injustices that have been occurring for decades, centuries even, for people of color," says Townsend, director of publications operations for the American Geophysical Union. "This has generated organizational letters — sounds of support. We have had a lot of great talk that sounds like what we need to hear.
"What I would like to do with our initiative is to take a look at those letters — 'This is what you said, stand by and believe. What's the follow through?'" he says. "Because the commitment to the execution is going to be key. How's it going to stand up? Despite what occurs there, are you going to stand by the commitment because it was who you say you are or just the politically right thing to do at the time?"
One of the great strengths of the Associations Council is the wide variety of professions and industries we represent. Our DEI efforts represent one of many steps we're taking to support and empower our members to face the challenges of the day.
"We represent through our colleagues, a block of professionals in organizations that cover many topics," Tucker says. "I'm representing school principals, Randy's in the geophysical union — we're people of all things. So for us to come together and start to think about how to get at that business imperative, not just about people of color or individuals in pain, but that hostility is actually hurting your business."
Townsend says these are changes that will not happen overnight. "It can't be one and done," he says. "There need to be strategies put into place — a way to maintain the effort and keep the conversation going. It needs be a true cultural change."
This is why Townsend says allies in association publishing are so important. "It's not enough to just add some diverse faces to a magazine and hope people will come to you. We need people reaching out, offering a hand. Someone needs to be going out and telling people 'We want you to join us. And not just to join us, but to be heard, to be part of what we're building here.'"
"Nothing is going to change if no one is talking about it," he says. "If it's not at the table, it will get left behind. It doesn't have to be as blatant as 'Why don't we have any Latinx in the room?' That's an important question, but the consistency of having the conversation is just as important."
You can join the conversation, starting with our new DEI statement, which you can find here.

Over the course of this summer, I went from having very little idea what I wanted my life to look like post-graduation to having a relatively clear plan for the next few years. All of the staff within the DA's office has been enormously helpful in helping get me here. One piece of advice that stuck with me came from an ADA who said that she only recommends going to law school if having a JD is the only thing standing in the way between you and what you ultimately want to do. I expected I would likely end up going to law school, but I also knew that this isn't a path I would want to embark on without a very specific vision for what came after. Now, I feel much more confident taking these next steps.
It goes without saying that COVID-19 fundamentally changed every aspect of the world of work, likely forever. I am extremely grateful for the readiness of my supervisors and the rest of the staff to completely restructure the program and ensure we still had a great experience. Like many, I have found my work style is not very compatible with working from home. This was one of the most significant challenges. However, by establishing a routine around my work schedule, I was able to stay productive. Once again, through discovering the ways I don't work best, I have a better idea of what I am looking for in a career going forward. I look forward to someday being able to go into the office and meet everyone in person.
Another challenge I encountered lay in the content of the work. Much of what the MDAO does, by definition, requires confronting some of the most difficult aspects of the human experience. With crime often comes immense violence, pain, and loss for those involved, and for a highly empathetic person, this world can be really difficult to immerse oneself in every day. It sounds a bit cliché, but I have increasingly come to realize that fundamentally caring about people isn't a weakness in this line of work. Far from it. This attribute, especially in social justice work, can make an individual a more effective agent in helping work toward a more just system for everyone.
I cannot recommend the MDAO's internship program highly enough. I think any junior or senior considering going into the legal field would benefit immensely from the experience and connections it creates. The staff is extremely supportive and happy to offer advice and guidance. This is not the kind of internship where you will be in charge of coffee runs; everyone I have done work for has ensured that the tasks they gave me are meaningful and that I see how they fit into the bigger picture.
Here's a link to the docket and filings for Ryan, et al v. ICE, et al, District Attorney Ryan and her fellow plaintiffs' lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). I was lucky enough to get to listen to oral arguments for the case in the First Circuit Supreme Judicial Court!

I'm still not quite satisfied with this one, but I'm tired of staring at it, so I'm putting it up for now. I really like the letter shapes for "Mulder", though.
Originally I thought I'd borrow from another one of my drawings for Scully's profile. I'm not great at drawing faces; I'd probably get better with practice, but that's not where my interest lies right now.
So I half traced, half drew her from reference (photo below). It's funny how one tiny detail being slightly "off" can make an otherwise normal-looking face just plain wrong. I went in and fiddled around with her eyes as I was writing this.

Join the HacDC and and the Baltimore/Maryland RepRap User's Group (RUG) for a weekend of RepRap fun! Save the weekend of January 24/25 for our RepRap Build-a-Thon. Initial plans include a range of activities, including hands-on group construction a RepRap Darwin from the ground up starting with laser-cut acrylic parts. We are also planning on having several local RepRap builders on hand with their machines, and hopefully able to demonstrate them in operation, making stuff!
We would also like to invite some of the local technology media/blogosphere folks, and take the opportunity to not only demonstrate what these machines can do, but also to talk in general about the implications of readily-available (and self-replicating) rapid prototyping machines. Certainly a great opportunity to chat with some RepRap pioneers, have a chance to participate in a hands-on build, and to generally have a good time with some local hackers.
More information coming as the plans develop- watch this space! If you are interested in helping out, please let us know via the mailing list. If you have contacts in the local technology media, or know someone in the trade who would be interested in this kind of event, please let us know! See the movie post below for a time-compressed version of RepRap construction by one of the original designers- the time represented by the video is about four hours. Given enough participants, we should be able to do something similar in our two days!

Birth story in pictures
Really considering a water birth for baby #2. Had my first at home and it was great but I tore bad and heard water can take some of the pressure off and make it more gentle to prevent future tearing.
Very inspirational story for those with "slow progress". I was Amy's (DoulaMomma) doula and found your story through the link on her blog.
That was such a beautiful video, you had me in tears. Wonderful.
.-= Heather @notesfromlapland´s last blog ..Things I'd forgotten about England. =-.
Beautiful, just beautiful!
.-= Jane @OnlineMum´s last blog ..Kids TV wasn't like this when I was young! =-.
I've always thought that a water birth makes sense. If I'm ever fortunate enough to have a child.
Visiting from SITS. Hope you had a wonderful holiday with your new little one!

For Buyers
Advantages of Buying at Auction
- The opportunity to purchase the property for less than you expected to pay.
- Knowing that you did not over pay because there was someone else willing to pay one bid increment below what you paid.
- All bidders are on a level playing field in that the terms and conditions apply equally to all bidders.
- No negotiating conflicts or haggling over price.
- When the auction is over, the buyer knows immediately if he/she won the item.
Types of Auctions
There are two types of auctions – Absolute and Reserve.
An Absolute Auction is one in which the property is sold to the highest bidder regardless of price. The advantage of an Absolute auction is that bidders know the property is going to sell without reservation of price. Thus it tends to generate more interest among potential buyers. In an Absolute auction the Seller cannot bid on the property nor can anyone bid on the Seller's behalf. If an auction is not advertised as Absolute, you can presume that it is a Reserve auction
A Reserve Auction is one in which the Seller can put a minimum, or reserve price, on the property. The advantage of the Reserve auction is that if the property doesn't bring what the Seller needs, it does not have to be sold. The disadvantage of a Reserve auction is that it is usually not as effective in generating interest and attendance among potential buyers. In a Reserve auction the Seller may: 1) set the minimum amount, 2) have the sale price subject to confirmation, 3) accept or reject the final bid, or 4) designate someone to bid on the Seller's behalf, with proper disclosure.
What is a Buyer's Premium?
A buyer's premium is a percentage added to the bid to determine the final selling price of the property. For example, if there is a 10% buyer's premium and the final bid is $100,000, the final selling price is $110,000. The buyer's premium is paid to the seller and is in turn used to assist the seller in paying the costs of the auction. These costs usually include, but are not limited to, advertising, commissions, and other costs that may be incurred in bringing the property to auction.
The use of a buyer's premium does not mean the buyer must pay more than originally intended. For instance in the example above, if the buyer intended to only pay $100,000, they should stop bidding at $91,000. In that case a 10% buyer's premium would make the final selling price $100,100.
Most of our real estate auctions and our personal property auctions include a buyer's premium. Whether a buyer's premium is used, should be disclosed in the advertising or at least addressed prior to the auction. If it is not, feel free to contact the Auctioneer and ask.
Pre-auction Inspections
Real Estate: For nearly all real estate auctions there are one or two prescheduled "open houses" several days prior to the auction. If you are not able to attend the "open house" we will try to arrange a separate time for you to view the property.
In nearly all real estate auctions, the property is sold "as is" with no condition or contingency. That includes inspections such as home, termites, radon, lead-based paint, etc. We want potential buyers to be as knowledgeable about the property as they care to be. Thus, potential buyers are welcome to get any kind of inspection they want but it should be done prior to the auction; it cannot be used as a negotiating item with the Seller; and the potential buyer must pay for the inspection.
Personal Property: The public is welcome to inspection the personal property prior to the auction. The inspection times scheduled vary depending on the type and amount of property being auctioned. In most cases the inspection time is indicated in the advertising. If not, feel free to call the Auctioneer to determine when the pre-auction inspection is scheduled.
Buying Real Estate at Auction
As more sellers are offering their real estate for sale by auction, more buyers are entering the market place by purchasing properties at auction. Some of the advantages of the auction method for buyers are:
- Pre-established terms and conditions. This puts all potential buyers on a "level playing field" in their opportunity to purchase the property.
- Open forum environment. Nearly all auctions are conducted in an open market forum whereby all bidders have the privilege of seeing who is bidding and observe and establish the bidding increments.
- Establishes the market value. Buyers seldom want to pay more for a property than they have to. In an auction, the buyer has the confidence of knowing that they had to pay just enough to get the property, otherwise the second place bidder would have gotten the property at the next lowest bidding increment.
- Potential for buying at a price lower than expected. Most bidders come to an auction with an amount in mind as to how much they plan to pay for the property. If the bidding stops below the amount they were willing to pay, they have saved money. If the bidding goes higher than what they were willing to pay, the bidder still had the option to stop bidding or to continue bidding.
Knowing the Terms and Conditions
This is a very important part of the auction that the buyer should be aware of. The terms and conditions of sale will vary among real estate auctions and among personal property auctions. Potential buyers are advised to be fully aware of the terms and conditions of sale before bidding on the property.
For example, for Real Estate auctions, key terms of sale would include:
- how much down payment,
- what forms of payment are acceptable,
- date of closing and possession.
For Personal Property auctions, key terms of sale would include:
- what forms of payment are accepted,
- when must items be removed from the auction site.

Numerology for 30/September/2016
You plan with great intelligence and you do your homework before opening your mouth. You may be regarded as an expert in your field but re-evaluation with regard to security and stability may be required. There may be lots of emotion with regard to this and in order to get the job done you may have to try and make decisions without emotion. Stay positive, be open and accepting of new ways of doing things. You may find co-operative ventures bring creativity and inspiration, they may also help you to connect with others in whole new ways too.

Today is rainy & dreary in Montreal. But sometimes this kind of weather can be wonderful. There is something so peaceful about it. A warm cup of tea, a humble bowl of brown rice. I tend to my garden and I am filled with gratitude for the slowed-down moments in my life.

You are a kindred spirit! Thank you for the reminder that taking it a little slower and doing what feels best for yourself can be so rejuvenating. I just finished reading the book "Creating True Prosperity"--it had a lovely supportive and empowering message and a reminder to be more kind to ourselves :)

Ernest Becker was a cultural anthropologist, philosopher, and author of the Pulitzer Prize winning The Denial of Death. The thesis of that book comes down to the following:
(1) Humans are unique as the only species which knows of its finitude and inevitable death, leading to existential anxiety and terror.
(2) The most powerful response to the terror of death is 'heroism' – a self-deceptive view of oneself as having a unique value to the universe (the 'vital lie' of 'cosmic heroism').
(3) Culture exists as the arena for a fictitious heroism of its members and thrives only to the extent it succeeds in this purpose.
(4) Flawed heroism leads to failure in dealing with the terror of death causing neurosis or psychosis and evil in the world.5
Insightful and challenging as this cultural critique is, my immediate interest is in Becker's analysis of what makes for authentic heroism in a mature, well-adjusted person against the background of society's fabricated versions. I will reorder his thoughts while using as much of his superb prose as possible.6
It begins with recognition of the basic truths above and accepting that for humans, "not everything is possible." Maturity is seeing the balance between our tragic limitations and real possibilities. A certain amount of self-imposed repression related to the terror of the existential facts is necessary: "Repression is not falsification of the world, it is 'truth' – the only truth that man can know, because he cannot experience everything…calling us back to…a stoical acceptance of the limits of life, the burden of it and of ourselves."
further continued next post)
5Becker offers many examples, but an excellent one is Hitler and the Nazis whose heroic self-image included their distorted conception of racial superiority and sociopathic motivation – "if we can't create like gods, at least we can kill like them."

I'm using the ImportWP Pro plugin to quickly create pages in the Praxis curriculum portal. One of the custom fields I need to set is for the WPComplete course system we use. It takes JSON for which course the page belongs to and which page to redirect the to once the current page is marked complete. Here is an example:
I needed to build this JSON in Excel with the rest of the page info. The pages I'm setting the redirect title and URL for are being created in the spreadsheet, too. So I wanted to build this JSON cell from the contents of other cells. The commas and quotes were a problem for my typical way of building text from other cells:
Here is the new solution I found: Break the JSON down into constituent parts, put each in its own cell, then build the JSON with the
concatenate() function.
Here are the 5 cells I needed:
{"course":"New Module 4 - Thinking","redirect":{"title":"
- The title from a spreadsheet column
- The page slug from a spreadsheet column
I put 1 in A23, 3 in A24, and 5 in A25. Then pulled 2 and 4 from various cells in columns A and B. Then my JSON cells used this formula:
Concatenated together, it looks like this:
