Robot and Limp Videos - Dava Foxx in Limp Star Gone Wrong
Added: 4/6/16
I'm practicing for a acting class. I have to pretend to pass out Dava says to her friend. What are you doing? He asks confused as she rags herself and in his arms. He holds her limp body, lifting her arms and legs to see if she's still alive. Picking her up he brings her to the couch where she begins to wake up.
What Dava doesnt know is that her friend has her drink. As she stands to leave she feels woozy. He grabs her from behind and rags her face as she struggles helplessly against his strong arms. Dava falls not knowing what's going to happen to her.
Now is the time to do whatever he wants to the powerless hottie. He strips her clothes and touches her everywhere. He plays with her like a doll, using her body for his enjoyment. Lifting her up, he carries her naked body to his bedroom to use like a sex slut.

Get Ready For Grandma
Added: 4/9/16
I was just about to leave to go hang out with my boys and pick up some hot chicks, when my mom came home in a panic. WTF! She told me that I had to stay home and help her clean the house because grandma was coming over. Damn, there goes my plans! I went in the kitchen to get a drink and my mom came in wearing her tight yoga pants and a white tank top with no bra. Damn! My mom is so fine! She bent over the counter to show me what to do, although I was not paying attention, I could not stop staring at her big round ass. She barked a bunch of orders at me and then ran out of the kitchen. I followed after her, because I needed another look. Holy ! I found her cleaning the windows with her breast up against the window and her shirt was wet. Damn, she caught me. I found her again bent over and again wet in the shower. I was so hot and hard from seeing her that I could not focus on cleaning. She came into the kitchen and found me on a ladder and she confronted me about spying on her. She saw my hard on and grabbed it. I tried to brush her off but she pulled down my shorts and put it in her mouth. WTF! She starting sucking my cock and the next thing I know I am fucking her! We were so hot for each other that I gave her a facial and then we heard a knock at the door. Damn! Its grandma!

Bare Back Studios - Cadence Luxx in Love and Openness
Added: 5/7/16
Scene One: Homework helper
Cadence is at home struggling with her math homework when her father asks if she needs help. He rubs her shoulders as she works and it makes her feel a bit uncomfortable. You just need some stress relief he tells her slowly working his hands to her chest. She tries to get him to stop as his hands softly grope her body.
He lifts her out of her chair so he can keep massaging her and as she works pulls up her skirt I'm not sure I can concentrate with you doing that She says. Keep working, don't question me He tells her slapping her ass. He fingers her young wet pussy and she pleads with him to stop and let her work on her math. Daddy! I don't think this is going to help She screams when he thrusts his hard perverted cock inside of her. He makes her continue her homework as he fucks her. She feels herself filled with warm hot liquid as he tells her the answer to one of the questions.
Scene Two:Bad Dreams
That night Cadence is warm and safe in her bed. A slight creak of the door and her father pulls down her covers. She pretends to be asleep as she feels him slide off her panties and pull up her shirt. His strong hands touch her body and she prays that he will just leave her alone. Her eyes pop open as she feels him open her and push inside. She screams Where's mommy and he puts his hand over her mouth. Don't wake up mommy He tells her and starts to violate her.
Oh daddy She screams, gritting her teeth and pleading with him. It hurts she moans to him. He keeps fucking her making her cold inside and shaking with fear. She's told to open her mouth and she looks away as his cock shoots warm cum over her terrified face. Go back to sleep he tells her, and leaves his daughter softly sobbing.
Scene Three: After school special
Daddy, Where's mommy Cadence begs, her breasts being sucked and groped. After coming home from school her dad wasted no time in pinning her to the couch and getting on top of her. She flaunts her hot young body around the house and her dad just can't control himself. Daddy please She moans as he pulls down her pants and fucks her from behind.
She can't fight him off and is used by her strong father. Holding her head he tells her to close her mouth around him and he fills her mouth with salty goo. She screams with surprise, her eyes opening wide with shock as she's told to swallow.
Scene Four: House broken daughter
Days have past and Cadence is in the kitchen studying when her father comes in. She tries to keep quiet thinking he may leave her alone. His hands begin to rub her shoulders and she tries to fight the fear inside of her. He apologizes for what's been happening lately and how uncomfortable he's made her feel. As he rubs her back something happens... She begins to like it.
Something deep inside of her breaks through and soon a white hot feeling washes over her as her father feels her body. Every touch electric, making her moan. He pulls off her clothes and fucks her right there in the kitchen. Oh my god She screams. She's never felt so good. Her dad chokes her and dominates her and she transforms into a whorish little daddy's slut, cumming over and over. He jerks and cums all over her face making her smile in satisfaction.

Added: 5/31/16
Scene One: Big breasted daughter massage
My girls going off to college and this will be my last chance Cory says to herself and tells her daughter Vanessa of her going away present. She wants to give her a long slow relaxing massage on her last day at home. Vanessa love her professional mom's massages and quickly strips and lays on her table.
Cory rubs her daughters back with oil, talking softly to her as she rubs. Vanessa flips and Cory goes to work on her daughter's huge breasts. Rubbing oil deep into her tits. She moans softly at her mom's strong warm hands. Slowly Cory works her way to her daughter's thighs and slides her panties to the side to lick her. Vanessa gasps...
Scene Two: Pushing her boundaries
I don't think we should be doing this Vanessa says as her mom licks her. Cory hushes her and continues pleasuring. It feels so good, Vanessa thinks, but it's so wrong to feel this way. Cory strips off Vanessa's underwear and continues to lick her until she's putty in Cory's hands.
Lets try something Cory says and bends over her. They 69, moaning into each others pussies. Their big breasts pressed up against one another, Vanessa giving her mother a deep moaning orgasm. Cory gives the orgasm back, licking furiously at Vanessa's clit. You really do give the best massages Vanessa says with a sigh of

Robot and Limp Videos - Cadence Luxx in Robot Secretary
Added: 5/6/16
Scene One: Working her boss hard
Candence is the best secretary he's ever had, completing all her work in record time. She's very good at her job except that she's so distractedly hot that her boss can't stop thinking about her. He needs to fire her or fuck her but she's too competent to fire and wont fuck him, so what's a boss to do? Pulling up an experimental app on his phone he tries one last thing...
Cadence freezes, unable to move, unable to speak. Her boss gets close to her and runs his hands over her. He pulls down her skirt and unfreezes her to watch her reaction. oh sh*t that's embarrassing She says quickly pulling up her skirt. He freezes her again and opens her shirt, playing with her breasts before unfreezing. Oh my god, I'm so sorry about this She says dressing.
Strip for me and do a dance He commands. Cadence has no thoughts in her head, doing as she's told. She gives her boss the show of a lifetime letting him touch her as she grinds on his lap. The program wares off and she wakes in shock and horror. What's going on! She yells as he freezes the helpless secretary.
p>Scene Two: Corporate whore
Suck my cock He commands her. The only thought she has is to serve and worship him. Cadence gets to her knees and sucks like an empty headed bimbo slut. Sucking his cock all the way down and gobbling his balls she attacks him with her mouth. Completely lost in the need to make him cum only the tiny thought in the back of her mind tells her that this is wrong.
He cums his big load all over her smiling robot face, pleasure flowing through her at completing her program. What the fuck! She yells, waking from her robot state. Is that fucking cum on my face! I'm going to HR! She grabs her clothes and does the walk of shame through the office.

She's reported on celebrities and rock stars but Cristi has only freaked out about one. The last time she interviewed him she from shock, and in her state he made her into a sex doll. It was one of the best nights of her life. As she explains to her friend what happened he walks in to her room. I just wanted to check on you He says and Cristi quickly drops the phone.
I can't believe you came to visit me again! She screams. She starts breathing heaving and her eyes roll back in her head. She on the couch and the rock star does his thing. He pulls on her clothes, pulling up her shirt and touching her perfect breasts. Cristi wakes to find him sucking on her breasts only to pass out again.
Oh my god, he's kissing me She wakes, swoons and falls again. He pulls off her clothes and licks her sweet pussy as she comes in and out. Taking her head he has her suck his cock her waking and passing out again and again while she sucks. I can't believe this, I'm your biggest fan
Scene Two: I love when you pass out
Cristi wakes long enough to see him put his cock between her legs and thrust inside of her. She is living a fantasy that threatens to overwhelm her world. She struggles to stay awake and has to be slapped to keep awake. I'm sorry, I just, its too much She says.
I don't know if I can help it! She screams and on top of him as he fucks her. He gropes her until she wakes up and keeps on fucking her. I can't stand this she moans, orgasming and passing out. He fucks her until he cums on her pussy. The hot cum sends her into a state of shock and she for good. He leaves her a note under her phone and lets her wake on her own.
She's so happy to have his cum all over her. Cristi looks at the note. In it, it says he wants to marry her, and there's a ring attached to it. How can this be happening! I can't believe it... She says passing out one last time.

Taboo Diaries - My Tits Left Daddy Speechless
Added: 5/25/16
And Turned Him On Too Dear Diary,The other day I was taking a shower and after I stepped out I started toweling myself off. Daddy walked in on me and couldn't stop staring at my tits, I mean they are JJ's after all but still. I finally had to shout to snap him out of it and he stumbled back towards his room mumbling about needing a shower.A few minutes later I went to check on him and there weere sounds coming from his room. I cracked the door and Daddy was in his bed with his eyes closed touching himself. When I figured out he was masturbating to my tits something inside me started tingling and I walked into his room.Daddy was a bit embarrassed being caught like that but when I pulled out my tits he was completely speechless. I'm not sure why but I encouraged him to touch them and before long we were making love in Daddys bed. Daddy did things to me that drove me so crazy I couldn't tell you how many times I came. Daddy really enjoyed himself too, so much that he came inside me and I'm not on the pill.More LaterRachel

Hoping that first date turns into a second — and the all-important third? If the opinion of thousands of singles bears any weight with you, heed these dating turnoffs from a recent survey conducted by dating website HowAboutWe.com. Following are the top 10 first-date turnoffs from more than 100,000 singles who were asked, "For me, the biggest first date no-no is..." (There's not always a breakdown on gender but for a few of these, you can probably read between the lines.)
Remove phone from vicinity. The No. 1 most offensive thing on a first date, survey respondents said, was seeing a date on a cellphone or texting.
First date sex? Forget about it. Women were more likely to say that attempting to have sex on the first date is an unforgivable faux pas. (Hmm, apparently, the men didn't feel as strongly? Go figure.)
Nobody cares about your ex. An equal number of men and women reported hating ex-talk.
Late grates. More than 15 minutes was unacceptable, the respondents said.
Show the waitstaff some love. Being rude or mistreating a server is a major red flag.
Sobriety is a plus! One out of 10 singles said drinking too much on a first date was a misstep.
Fellas, pick up the tab. Like it or not, splitting a bill or letting the woman pay wasn't kindly received; having the guy pick up the tab was more acceptable than splitting it.
Glad you have a job, but ... Save shop talk for your boss.
Yes, your mother loves you. Keep it to yourself and leave her out of the conversation on the first date.
Talk about marriage — with anybody but your first date. Men reported being twice as turned off as women by wedding talk.
Our takeaway: Although we fess up to having committed some of these "felonies" ourselves (hey, mom is a great gal!) and that true love can probably survive any of them, there's another lesson to keep in mind. If you really dislike your first date, who's stopping you from committing all 10?

Trouble ahead for Nicola Sturgeon
Nicola Sturgeon's handling of party affairs sees the first rumblings of discontent in the SNP
It may seems churlish to mention, in a month when Nicola Sturgeon celebrates a year into the job of First Minister by being voted the most popular person in Scotland, is named Politician of the Year for the fourth time, and when her party is riding so high in the polls, but I sense some trouble ahead.
And it's not just that a second SNP MP has been suspended from the party amid serious concerns about the potential of financial criminality, or that a former special adviser – who was instrumental in the formulation of the party's case for independence – says it's all now bollocks [I paraphrase], or that her old boss, and now foreign affairs spokesperson at Westminster, Alex Salmond, appears more concerned with unveiling his own portrait than being in parliament for what could prove a vitally important prime ministerial statement on Syria.
It's more to do with a growing sense of disquiet about how Sturgeon handles these affairs and the hint of the first low rumblings of discontent.
It is hard to justify giving airlines a tax break while food banks remain in Scotland
Tearing a community apart seems to fly in the face of what we call 'Scottish values'
Despite mounting criticism, recent events have done little to throw the SNP off course
Conventional wisdom has it that as First Minister, Salmond was a more divisive figure, evoking a Marmite response, while Sturgeon, as leader, is the more collegiate and chummy, taking all into the big tent. But is that perception also the reality?
When the Michelle Thomson story broke there was an uncharacteristic frostiness about Sturgeon. She appeared to become withdrawn and was unwilling to acknowledge any issue for, or flaw in the party about what it may have known and when. And that stance was buttressed by the ever growing legion of unquestioning supporters whose stock in trade is to be verbose in its dismissal of any criticism of the SNP as a unionist conspiracy – but in less than literate terms.
But now it seems that at the same time as the SNP was refusing to answer any questions about the party's role in approving Thomson's seemingly fast-track to becoming an elected member of the House of Commons, so too was another case of potential wrongdoing about to hit the proverbial. And it begs the question, is there more?
Amid some of the party's veteran politicians there is disbelief that this has come to pass. They ask who is she listening to, talk of the lack of shared information, of Sturgeon as a sole operator, and of a distinct lack of robust questioning of what is going on. And where previously party loyalty and a quiet confidence about what was actually going on and why would have ensured allegiance, I now detect whiffs of rebellion.
Sturgeon can, of course, dismiss any criticism of her modus operandi with a nod to the polls – but it doesn't always wash. In the old days when Salmond led the party at Holyrood, his occasional gaffes and outbursts were easily quelled by a group of trusty lieutenants who would sidle up to journalists and comfortably and convincingly make the case that there was nothing to see. And Sturgeon knows how it works because she was one of his most skilled operators. But who now is making that same case for her?
The suspension of MP Natalie McGarry from the SNP is damaging for the party not because of what may come from any police investigation, but because of the machinations that preceded that suspension.
Women for Independence was, and is, a good cause. It has spawned a whole plethora of new female candidates for both Westminster and Holyrood but, more than that, it has inspired and reinvigorated a whole swathe of women – young and old – into engaging with a political system that many had either tired of or had never been part of. It gave many women a voice they had either forgotten they had or they'd never used.
So, whatever the truth in what has or hasn't happened to the coffers of WFI, the SNP, which is led by a woman whose fundamental driver, she says, is to see more women in politics, cannot abdicate its responsibility to help. I know that WFI is going through a bruising experience, many of its members feel bewildered and lost, and where they have looked for support from SNP HQ, it has not been forthcoming. And that has hurt.
But perhaps none of this matters. Sturgeon benefits from the weakest political opposition there has ever been at Holyrood coupled with massive popular support that can see her do no wrong. And she looks set to be on course for yet another win. So the puzzle now is why she doesn't use that unprecedented power to really make a case for change?
Labour was the political establishment in Scotland for generations and did little to alter the nation's course. And now with its fortunes and the SNP's reversed, Sturgeon – like her Labour counterparts before her – talks a radical game while continuing to ingrain some of our more deep-seated inequalities. And so we slip into a decline and stymie the possibilities for more radical change while the SNP continues to point to ever increasing popularity polls.
It used to be said of Scotland that you could stick Labour's red rosette on a donkey and it would win. That could now be true of yellow and the SNP. But is that really the political legacy that Sturgeon wants to be hers?

Any time I think about Steve Ross' offseasons Charlie Brown comes to mind, and subconsciously one of America's richest men becomes a Peanuts cartoon.
When recalling the swings and misses the Dolphins' owner has made my mind instantly replays one of the more infamous Peanuts skits, the one which features Lucy laboring to convince Charlie Brown to kick a football she's holding.
"Hey Charlie Brown. I've got a football. How about practicing a few place kicks," Lucy says. "I'll hold the ball and you come running and kick it."
Agents to Dolphins: "Hey Steve Ross. I've got a good (coaching candidate/free agent). How about making him an offer. We'll work out a deal and when we get one done my client is yours."
I'll spare you the details of the Jim Harbaugh fiasco, being used by Jeff Fisher, and getting the cold shoulder from Peyton Manning because we've all had our fair share of indigestion over those embarrassing chapters of Ross' tenure.
Too often Ross and the Dolphins showed up at the doorsteps with flowers and candy only to discover another team always had their heart. That's why I have no choice but to be overly cautious about this offseason, which officially begins on Tuesday.
While the world might be speculating that Mike Wallace to Miami is a done deal, I warn you not to get too excited about finally landing another elite receiver because South Florida's NFL team has been left at the altar too many times.
Dolphins fans can't survive any more footballs being pulled from underneath their feet.
Ross' tenure as a naive and inexperienced owner was cute in the beginning. But it is about time this real estate mogul shows us how he made his billions, and proves he can close a deal.

My recent interview in The Dramatists Guild magazine THE DRAMATIST
'Here is the text of an interview from the March/April 2015 edition of "The Dramatist", the monthly magazine sent to Dramatist Guild Members.
By Larry Dean Harris
Vince Melocchi is not a regular guy, but he plays one on TV. In commercials (he played the plumber for Liquid Plumber for years) and dramas like "Southland" and "Criminal Minds," this actor/writer plays the everyman. Which just might explain his characters: janitors, army recruiters, steelworkers.
There are no bon vivants in a Melocchi script. But there is always a compelling play populated by exquisitely drawn – and very real – characters. Who better to represent the emerging LA playwright than a man who is working in the trenches of the Los Angeles small theatre scene?
LDH: Let's start with humble beginnings.
VM: Honestly, I stumbled into playwriting. Enrolling for classes my junior year at Penn State, there was one theatre class still open: Principles of Playwriting. From the first exercise – we were assigned to eavesdrop on conversations and then write a short scene based on what I heard – I fell in love with bringing stories to life onstage.
LDH: How did you get your first play produced in Los Angeles?
VM: The writers group I started at Pacific Resident Theatre( PRT) did a short play festival which spawned a ten page version of my play Lions. I kept writing until I had a first draft. Eventually, I approached the award-winning director Guillermo Cienfuegos to direct. He became not only the director, but dramaturg. I'd write and send him stuff, then we'd meet, and he'd give me more notes, and I'd go back and write. Finally, we did a reading and a workshop at PRT. The response of this play (It deals with the unemployment picture in Detroit), was so overwhelming that the Artistic Director Marilyn Fox offered us a full production. We ran from late fall to spring (and the play was published by Samuel French).
LDH: What do you see as the challenges facing LA playwrights?
VM: This past fall my play Nice Things had it's world premiere at Rogue Machine Theatre in Los Angeles. Elina de Santos directed and Rogue Machine's artistic director John Perrin Flynn was my dramaturg. John's attention to the detail was incredible. It's a delicate play, tackling big issues like sexual assault in the military and the lies Army recruiters may tell to get kids to enlist. The audiences loved the play, the reviews were terrific. But the trick is getting butts in the seats with a new play, especially when traditional sources like LA WEEKLY and BACKSTAGE WEST either cut back coverage or stop reviewing altogether. It puts more pressure on us to get the word out there. On the upside, there are guys like Steven Leigh Morris and Colin Mitchell with their websites Stageraw.com and Bitterlemons.com, respectively.
It's important to note at this point that Vince has had some success outside the 99-Seat Los Angeles arena. His play Julia – also directed by Cienfuegos, also produced at Pacific Resident Theatre with a sold-out run and lots of award nominations – moved to off-Broadway in the spring of 2011.
NICE THINGS opens at at ROGUE MACHINE THEATRE -October 4th
"Rant and Rave" at Rogue Machine Theatre
This is the podcast from an evening of stories at Rogue Machine Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. For those of you familiar with my plays, the woman in this podcast was the inspiration for my play "Welcome to Santa". Enjoy.

I'm proud that my play NICE THINGS, which has been selected as part of the exciting 7th season at Rogue Machine Theatre in Los Angeles. The production comes after an excellent workshop process headed up by John Perrin Flynn (Artistic director at Rogue Machine), and my director Elina de Santos (Co- Artistic Director at Rogue Machine). Stayed tuned for more details as we get closer…

"Nice Things" at The Road Theatre Company Summer Playwrights Festival – Wednesday, July 31st at 8 PM
About the Play – Bobbie Jo Gunning is an Army Guard recruiter in Western Pennsylvania. Amy Mellinger is a local girl who has recently lost her boyfriend in the Afghanistan war. Neither of them are sleeping well these days. One, because of what she's done. The other, because of what she hasn't dealt with. In order to move on and live their lives, they will need to come to terms with their past and the present.

I recently added a new cemetery transcription list to the GenWeb of Monroe County website. It is for the Stone Road Cemetery which is a Jewish Cemetery which in NOT on Stone Road. When it opened about 1895 it was then Stone Road but that changed in 1935 when Stonewood Avenue opened. Portions of the cemetery were individually owned by Congregations. Then in the 1960s this cemetery and the Jewish cemetery on Britton Road in Greece were re–organized as the Britton Road Cemetery Association.
To do this transcription I took photos of every tombstone and then made the list of tombstones from the photos. Out of about 3,200 tombstones there were about 50 that were only in Hebrew. There were another 20 that were unreadable because of bushes growing over the tombstones or were blank. Then there were 4 photos that were so far out of focus that I couldn't make out the inscriptions. I anyone wants them, I will add photos of the tombstones to the Find A Grave listing for this cemetery.
The listing for the Stone Road Cemetery was so large that I had to split it into 2 web pages. One for surnames: A – K and the other for surnames : L – Z.
I found online the records of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery that is on East Avenue in the Town of Clarkson. That cemetery was used by the Church of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Brockport from about 1856 to 1892 when the Church opened Mt. Olivet Cemetery. St. Mary's Cem. fell into disrepair. In the early 1990s an earthen berm was constructed and most remaining tombstones were cemented into place on the berm.
St. Mary's is difficult to find. There is a dirt road running north off of East Avenue into the woods. That dirt road is between the Seymour Library and the sewage treatment plant.
The online list contains all the existing tombstones and some burial information from other sources.
I have been told that there is a small cemetery that no one else has any records of. I don't want to tell where it is, as of yet. But it is supposed to be in the country in the southern part of Monroe County. I will be investigating and see if I can find the cemetery and any remaining tombstones.

[Previous entry: "The Fathers Day List"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Argh! It's so slow!"]
06/04/2004 Entry: "This week's MI5"
1. What is your favorite part of your house (the house where you live)?
I like my basement. It isn't huge, and it's kinda cluttered. But it's solid, and fairly finished. I have my drums down there, and my work bench.
2. What is your least favorite part of your house?
The kitchen and the bathroom are both too small. They're both functional, but there's not a ton of room in either. Of the two though, the kitchen is acceptable--I just would like a big kitchen. The bathroom really is too small, and the bi-fold door needs to come down.
3. Name one thing you would like to change about your house?
The rugs in the dining/living room are a little scuzy. New rugs in living room and a hardwood floor in the dining would be nice. Also some new wallpaper would be cool.
4. If you were going to move to a new house where would you like to
move to and what would you like your new house to have?
I'd wanna be in Spruce Head Maine, a scant 15 minutes from where I live now. What would I like it to have? See #5.
5. If you were going to build your dream house what would it be like?
(style, size, location, rooms, etc.)
A re-creation of a Victorian, set in Spruce Head. I'd like to have a turret, and a ball and claw foot tub. Lots of funky woodwork would be required inside, and there should be plenty of mahogany. Especially in the library. Nothing too gaudy or Gothic, but something like this.

There Is Really Only ONE Way
1 Timothy 2:4-6 (CEV/MSG/GWT)
4 God wants not only us but everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is,
5 There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only One who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human,
6 and He sacrificed Himself for all people to free them from their sins. This message is valid for every era.
In my reaching out to people around me to share with them the Good News of Jesus Christ, some people would tell me they have other religious beliefs and they think all are the same as long as they teach us to do good.
This is not an uncommon notion many people hold. However, the Bible tells us that " There is only one God and Christ Jesus is the only One who can bring us to God…" 1 Timothy 2:5
Our sin has separated us from God, the Creator of all things, our Heavenly Father. God sent His Son, Jesus, to earth through a miraculous birth so that all of human race have a Way to connect with God Himself. And God gave His beloved Son, Jesus, to die on the Cross for all people to free us from our sins. Yes, God sent Jesus to be born to die. For our freedom.
This is God's deep and sacrificial love for you and me and everyone.
At Christmas, we remember and celebrate God's great love for every one of us. For at Christmas more than two thousand years ago, Jesus was born among us, for us.
At Christmas, we celebrate that Jesus has come to be the One Mediator between us and God. Jesus has come to be the Way for us to be reconciled to God.
Reconciliation. This is such a beautiful word. It means no more estrangement between two parties. It implies a relationship being restored and made whole. In recent years, I have come to appreciate reconciliation even more. Due to a conflict, there has been separation between my family members in these few years. It is heartbreaking and difficult to go through this. There are times I have been gripped with fear that the reconciliation might never come.
This Christmas season, God reminds me of His great love and the reconciliation that Jesus has come to give. God assures me that His will is always for His people to gather, not scatter.
I find new strength and hope in God's message of love and reconciliation. And I pray that this shall be a season of God's love bringing forth reconciliation of my family members to God, and reconciliation between them.
Christmas. The birth of Jesus, our Savior, Lord and King. This is indeed "good news of great joy", as the Bible tells us in Luke 2:10. The world has never been the same and will never be, because of Christmas, because of Jesus.
His precious blood shed on the Cross has purchased for us freedom from sin. You and I are now free to go to our Heavenly Father in prayer, in worship, in thanksgiving and praise. You and I have new life and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. You and I can be victorious in life because Jesus has overcome the grave and resurrected. And "whoever believes in Jesus shall not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16. Our connection with God lasts forever!
How I thank and worship Jesus for the absolute freedom I have on this earth, and into the eternity.
As followers of Christ, we must know that "God wants not only us but everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth…" 1 Timothy 2:4
The heartbeat of God is very clearly spelt out here. But how can everyone be saved when they do not yet know the truth? And how will they know the truth if no one tells them about it?
This Christmas season, let us share with the world about Jesus Who is the only One to bring us reconciled to God and connected to all of God's good gifts. "This message is valid for every era", the Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 2:6.
Join me in this prayer.
"Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Your only and beloved Son, Jesus, unto the world. I thank You that my faith in Jesus as my Lord and Savior has forever reconciled me with You, our Heavenly Father. I know, O God, You have also given me this message of reconciliation to share with others, so that everyone can know the Truth of Your love and grace, and be saved. This Christmas season, I rise up to live as an ambassador of Christ like never before. In my everyday life, Your Good News shall be on my lips and Your love shown through my life. Bless every relationship in my life and may any broken relationship be restored by the power of Your love. I praise You and give You thanks, O God. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen."

Dan: > Brace yourself for mind-bogglinly deep > formal argument: > > premise: > <http://www.w3.org/> dc:title "W3C". > conclusion: > <http://www.w3.org/> dc:title "W3C". > > That's it.* > IMO we want this case to hold, but that it is not necessarily the case that we always want "W3C" = "W3C". For instance, if we allow literals as subjects, and say use xml:lang to generate triples (which I think some members of the group would like) then in general a string in one lang is not the same as the same string in another lang. There is also my example where the string "100" in a context in which base 10 is understood is different from the string "100" in which base 2 is understood. More strictly I should say 'the interpretation of the string "100" is different'. Now, Dan's example is interesting because the two contexts are identical and hence the entailment is desired. This looks quite like the bNode case <http://www.w3.org/> dc:title _:a. entails <http://www.w3.org/> dc:title _:b. (Dan's example is only interesting when the two nodes labelled "W3C" are different). Thus I think the patch to the TDL model theory is likely to change the interpretation of literal nodes (Unicode string nodes) to be like that of bNodes: i.e. involving an existential qualifier. This is likely to be over the possible literal-value pairs that meet the type and string constraints. I will work on it next week. JeremyReceived on Friday, 25 January 2002 14:09:11 UTC

Reviewed by Jesse S. (age 11)
When he goes to Hogwarts, he finds that professor Unbridge is his new defense against the dark Arts Teacher. He gets a detention and writes with a special quill that etches his writing on his skin while he writes on paper. Harry then starts the D.A. (Dumbledore's Army) that practices patronuses and other spells.
One of the members get caught and the D.A. is revealed to Professor Umbridge. Later on, Harry has a vision that Sirius, his godfather, is being tortured by Voldemort. Harry and his friends fight Voldemort's followers alongside the Order of the Phoenix, the good wizards. Bellatrix, one of Voldemort's followers, kills Sirius and Harry fights Bellatrix. Dumbledore fights Voldemort in the end and Harry is safe. Back at Hogwarts, the friends go back to their families.
I would change one thing about this story. I would not let Sirius die because I don't like people dying. My favorite part of the story was when they form the D.A. because you can learn all these spells. My favorite character is Harry because he teaches the D.A. Professor Umbridge is my least favorite character because she is one of the meanest characters in the book. This story relates to my life because I also have a lot of homework at school. This story had pictures which help tell the story.
I think others should read this story because it is really exciting and because it has a mystery in the story. Harry has to figure out what his mysterious dream means.

The sequins are meticulously embroidered against the iconic Monogram canvas to form the Monogram which slightly obscures the pattern underneath, that's why the bags are called Eclipse... so witty! Eclipse Speedy also features two hotel room key inspired zipper pulls, long and comfortable flat calfskin leather handles with handmade leather knots and graphic eyelets, it has double flat pocket inside for organization, and bottom studs to protect the base of the bag.
Monogram Eclipse Speedy 28 comes in two lovely colors, Black and Gold. Both measures 28 cm or 11″ x 8.3″ x 5.5″ to be exact. Its now available exclusively at Louis Vuitton stores for US$2160.

I made this little gnome door for my daughters birthday. We had one of her close friends sneak into her house while she was camping and place it on the wall next to her fireplace. We prefaced it a few days early by sending an letter from the "Gnome Welcome Wagon" organization saying that they had heard that her gnome, "Twinkle Toes", had recently acquired a new home. We wrote it in Gnome Language using a special font I found – she had to do some internet research and decode it. It worked out great for her and my 5 year old granddaughter.
It stands 7" tall and is made from some weathered, cedar fence boards. The broom is made from a little stick and pieces of a kids broom I found at a garage sale. The wood stack is from another stick I "chopped", stacked and tied with string. I used a soldering iron to put on the word WELCOME.
VERY fun little project…

Anybody have good FMOD_System_CreateSoundEx VB6 example???
- soft4you asked 11 years ago
I converted the VB6 module to .NET and I have tried everything, it just doesn't work !
However, C# and C++ interfaces works fine …
(Personally i have switched to the C# interface)
Help please…
- soft4you answered 11 years ago
Same problem here, and I also haven't been able to figure out what's wrong
- Adion answered 11 years ago
Hello Adion;
How are you doing with DJDecks ?
I am currently about of writing my own timecode system,
maybe you do have any clues about doing it ?
I wanted to purchase the MsPinky SDK but it just don't work with VB …
How have you done to support common timecodes ? By trial & error ?
Ok, now the FMOD :
I think i have just found the problem with VB6 & .NET
For those who are interested,
i have created a DLL usable through VB and IntelliSense, very easily !
Send me a private message if you want it.
Okay guys see ya,
The CREATESOUNDEXINFO field is not understand by the DLL, when using it with VB.
That's because on the C# interface, there are Overrides,
so the function you try to call, is callable without CREATESOUNDEXINFO, hence it works !
Instructions for using my dll with no problems with VB :
Please login first to submit.

Impact Texas
Throughout 2009-2010 program year I had the opportunity to participate in "Impact Texas". Our program was selected from among a host of applicants who participated in the CCAT: Core Capacity Assessment Tool. The assessment helped us identify areas in our organization and program that need strengthening. I participated in a series of training in the area of strategic thinking, influence development and team management that have benefited me personally / professionally (how to manage a team under changing circumstances, creating outcome oriented employee evaluations) and our team as a whole. One of the great team benefits has come to us in the shape of Ann Ranson who has coached us individually, as a team, and program wide with our coordinators and advisors. As a result, we are developing an in-house Team Operating Agreement, and have undergone a strategic planning process statewide. This document is being finalized and will guide our operations for the next 3 years. Thank you One Star Foundation for selecting HIPPY Texas for Impact Texas!

Intuitional Investor, the international magazine, has published a select list of Russian business leaders in its July issue. The banking sector is represented by only two persons — Andrei Kazmin (Sberbank) and Dmitry Orlov (Bank Vozrozhdenie).
The magazine surveyed the opinions of international and Russian research analysts and fund managers to determine which Russian CEO's investors regard as "the most successful in cultivating investor confidence". The selected list includes 29 Russian top managers from different business sectors, such as consumer, financial services, metals and mining, oil and gas industry, as well as telecoms and utilities.

Although most of the Oregon portion was paved, the California section between Red Bluff and the state line was only graded. When an oncoming vehicle approached, it came to a sudden stop in Barnum's headlights, and two men jumped out and ran down a hill. Barnum returned to Dunsmuir and led the police back to the suspicious spot, where they chased footprints downhill, and Barnum drove home to Medford. Barnum read two days later that the robbers had been captured and that he was in line for the $5,000 reward. Sources: Livingston, Jill. "Bring on the Pavement." Living Gold Press.

Senomyx gets FDA clearance for commercialization of Sweetmyx
Senomyx, a US-based producer of flavor ingredients for food, beverage and flavor industries, has received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of its new Sweetmyx flavor ingredient in beverage production.
The FDA has determined Sweetmyx to be Generally Recognized As Safe under the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
The consent paves a way for PepsiCo to use the new flavor in all non-alcoholic beverages across the world, under a collaborative agreement signed with Senomyx in August 2010.
Meanwhile, Firmenich has lifetime rights to use the Sweetmyx flavor for food product categories and alcoholic beverages until March 2018.
Sweetmyx ingredient is a flavor with modifying properties that is used as part of a flavor system, which enables low-sugar foods and beverages to retain the taste.
Senomyx president and CEO John Poyhonen said that the new Sweetmyx flavor ingredient will enable the creation of lower-calorie beverages and foods that have reduced sweeteners without sacrificing taste.
"We are particularly excited about the versatility of Sweetmyx since it allows for the reduction of either sucrose or fructose in products," added Poyhonen.

All the Milk in China
Boosting consumption is hard when consumers fear for their safety.
"Dicyandiamide," or DCD, sure sounds scary. It's actually not, at least when present only in vanishingly small amounts. That hasn't quieted the alarm of mainland Chinese parents when they learned that traces of the chemical had been detected in milk powder imported from New Zealand, in what is becoming the latest revealing episode in China's bumpy transition to a consumption-driven economy.
On facts alone, this should be largely a nonissue. The chemical—which among other uses is sprayed on pasture land to reduce...

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – New laws are being introduced in Brazil to increase and better regulate the influx of Haitian immigrants entering the porous borders of northern Brazil. The resolution of the National Immigration Council, which provides for the issuance of limited work visas for Haitians, was published today (January 13th).
The government press announced the new visa is granted for humanitarian reasons, and available for a term of five years. Recipients will receive a temporary CIE – Cédula de Identidade do Estrangeiro (Foreign Identity Card).
Justice Minister José Eduardo Cardozo said that Brazil would grant the work visas to 2,400 Haitians who are stuck in two Amazon border towns and that an additional 1,600 Haitians in Brazil have been given visas already.
The humanitarian reasons are in reference to the worsening living conditions in Haiti since the earthquake there on January 12, 2010. Brazil has responded to the call for help in Haiti, spending R$1 billion on relief efforts so far.
The objective of the new immigration legislation is to control the recent arrival of Haitian immigrants who have entered the country through Acre and Amazonas. According to the Ministry of Justice, 4,000 Haitians arrived last year alone.
The new visa will be granted through the Embassy of Brazil in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and allow up to 1,200 visas per year, corresponding to an average of 100 per month.
In addition, Haitians who have their status legalized in Brazil may bring their relatives, as any other foreigner who lives in the country regularly. Parents, spouse or partner, children up to the age of 24 years if single, may accompany the immigrant.
In October it was reported the number of foreigners residing in Brazil has increased by 52.4 percent over the previous six months, reported the Ministério da Justiça (Ministry of Justice).
Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2009 granted immigration amnesty to those then living illegally in Brazil with the possibility of permanent residency status within two years, which has added to the number.
The largest groups that received the immigration amnesty are the Bolivians (40 percent of the total of about 47,000 temporary visas issued), Chinese (13 percent), Peruvians (11 percent), Paraguay (10 percent) and Korean (3 percent).

It's the day to go to my classes again but I'm here at home, bumming around, doing nothing productive. I just want to give up this time and let myself rot from the lack of education. I've hated school anyway even if I did good in my classes and was usually in the upper half of the class. The only good thing about it now is my boyfriend.
Actually, I'm depressed and sick. A little bit of both. I've been up all day yesterday reading till 4 am. And in between the pages, I've been crying during the most random times.
So here I am, updating my blogs and doing a little youtube with our 56k connection. I don't like waiting. I like the pain I get from waiting. I'm a masochist so I can stand the loading time. Anyway, since my hard disk got wiped out from the power surge several months ago last year, my music library now sucks. I'm not really in the mood for Steve's Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins, so I didn't bother with the mp3 cds he lent me.
I really hate the way my year is starting. But maybe I've brought this on myself with all the negative energy that's been building up in my during the last quarter of 2007. The law of attraction, so they've said. Oh, boy! If that's the case, then I guess I better prepare myself for loads of unfortunate stuff this first part of 2008. But then maybe, if I change the way I think as early as today, then maybe my luck will change.
If it wasn't for Steve and our freakin' thesis paper, I would withdraw from all my subjects now.
But so much for my unfortunate start-of-the-year.
What I want to tell whoever stumbles on my blog that I am taking on a new thing here: THEMES!!! Yes, themes for a certain day of the week. So I'll be posting more regularly and with more variation but still within my interests. Isn't that great? Hahahaha! I think that I'm the only one thrilled by it. But hey, what the heck?! I'll enjoy it, anyhow.
Here are my ideas for the themes:
Monday – Music Monday (What better way to start a hectic week!)
Tuesday –
Wednesday –
Thursday –
Friday –
Saturday –
Sunday – Something-for-Someone Sunday (I think I'll do something -big/small – for someone… even someone I don't really know that well. It will be my day to do something grand amidst all the little good deeds I'll try to do during the week.)
This was really just a spur of the moment decision so I haven't really thought of anything yet. Expect this month to be the trial period for this mini-project.
Have an amazing 2008 everyone!

Validating attribute usage with PostSharp Aspects
This post expands on my previous article on PostSharp. If you haven't already, read it here.
Most of January has flown by with just one post, effectively shooting down my resolution to blog more often. In my defence, I have to state that I've just moved on to newer pastures, with all the re-settling in that involves.
Apart from that, I also spent a few hours twiddling with the Jasema sources, so I do have something to post about at least. 🙂
The .net attribute architecture supports an Attribute Usage definition, which is itself an attribute that can be applied to attributes. AttributeUsageAttribute determines whether said attribute can be applied to fields, methods, classes, assemblies, or any combination thereof. This allows you to identify, at compilation time, whether the attributes you have specified are used correctly, which is great.
There are situations, however, where you might want to enforce some more detailed constraints on an attribute; for example, you might want to make sure that it is only used by classes that implement a given interface, or check what parameters have been defined for it.
It is possible to implement this as a runtime check within the attribute itself, however this is not always a very elegant solution. If you check the constraints every time the attribute is invoked in some way, you're incurring a performance hit, however slight. If one considers that PostSharp aspects may be called every time data changes in a given field, or every time a method (or even any method in an assembly is called), this may add up to quite a bit, depending on what sort of checking you're doing.
By making this sort of check at run time, you're also depriving yourself of compile time checking. Even if you have unit tests in place to make sure you catch incorrect behaviour. it can still take time to run the suite; wouldn't it be a lot nicer if the compiler could be instructed to raise an error when an attribute is given the wrong parameters, or is used with the wrong sort of class?
While PostSharp aspects don't allow you to give such instructions to the compiler, they do allow you to do something that's so similar that the difference, to someone like me, is purely academic (so, flame me). These aspects define an OnCompileValidate method, which can be overridden in your custom aspects. Continue reading

Issue 5
Squinting into the hazy light, I walked out of the David Hockney portrait exhibition. The sun pitched tentative shadows on the museum plaza. Castaway in the artist's world, I'd studied the line of his pen drawings, his brushstrokes, and his flat expanses of blues and greens, the backdrop to his figures of his family, friends, and lovers.
Later, at lunch, I watched my father as he, my mother, my husband, and I ate at a coffee shop. His milky brown eyes peered out of small openings; his gray hair stood up in wild waves. As he lifted the overstuffed steak sandwich to his mouth, his hands shook. A piece of onion fell from the roll, smearing the napkin at his collar. "I know, Gayle, I know, give me a minute," he'd said to my mother when we'd sat down, and she'd reminded him to place the napkin over his chest.
"Mom," I said when we were alone, "Go easier on him. He's almost eighty-five, and his tremor's worse."
"I know, Hilary," she said, "but if he doesn't cover himself, no one will eat with him."
I said no more.
I knew that she was right. But I couldn't help remembering him as I saw him as a child: tall, large, his eyes sharp, and his voice commanding. Now, when he's tired, he slurs his words, a reminder of throat cancer surgery. "I was always afraid of your father," a friend told me recently.
Even before watching Bruno Wolheim's documentary, David Hockney: Double Portrait, I'd read Hockney's subtext in Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Percy, a painting of a married couple at odds. A full-length shuttered window divides the canvas in half. Ossie, the husband, poses on the right before the open side of the window, his wife, on the left, before the closed side. Through the window, a stone balustrade of a second story balcony and trees in full leaf. Long haired and dressed in shades of green, Ossie sits with parted legs, at an angle to the painter, his cat on his lap. Celia, wearing a dark purple robe, stands. Her loose blond, pre-Raphaelite curls frame her soft face. Her eyes lock with ours.
From beneath his brows, Ossie's gaze hints at mystery, flirtation perhaps, or even a kind of dare.
Celia's more frontal, direct gaze suggests resignation, even annoyance. Though her head's slight tilt
down may indicate demureness, her stance—akimbo—seems to betray irritation or determination.
Does Hockney's portrait capture the essence of Celia and Ossie's relationship at a specific moment, or did he sense its nature and pose them to embody his vision of them?
The space between Celia and Ossie interests me. The space between. The space. Between. People. In another work, Henry Geldzahler and Christopher Scott, Hockney seated Henry, the famed curator, in the center of a long pink divan, his head barely extending above its arched middle. Henry's girth and the pull of his vest across his belly create a strong horizontal element, emphasizing his permanence. In contrast, his partner, Christopher, a slight man, stands like a ghost at one side.
Maybe the physical distance between the lovers signifies the existence of an intimate connection and, at the same time, an emotional gulf. Maybe it symbolizes the intrinsic challenge of individuals forming a couple.
I think of my parents. How would Hockney portray them?
They sit in their den. Each stakes claim to a side of the room. My mother sits on the far end of a leather sofa, and rests her feet on the coffee table before her. She wears a tan sweater and brown woolen pants. Her head inclines as she scans the newspaper on her lap. At the other end of the room, my father sits, his back to a large paned window opening to a lawn of bare maple trees, his legs cross at the knees. Dressed in trousers and his favorite holey, mustard-colored sweater, which my mother will later discard, his hands fall onto the open book, face down on his lap, and poised to slide to the floor. He dozes, his head bobbing slightly with each breath. Dusk fills the room.
"Ralph," my mother says. Looking up, she sees his closed eyes and hears his breathing. As she rises and walks behind him to close the curtains, he stirs, opening his eyes and closing them again. She returns to the sofa, reaches for the paper, lifts a pen, and resumes her crossword puzzle.
What lies between them? A rectangular room with a high arched and beamed ceiling, an oriental rug, and furniture—a sofa against the back wall, a coffee table in front of it, windows on three sides of the room, two chairs at either end, and a television cabinet across from the sofa.
What lies between them? Over fifty-five years of marriage, four children, six grandchildren, a daughter's estrangement from and return to them, a son's cruelty, their parents' deaths, their children's marriages and divorces, love, anger, illness, joy, sorrow, regret, deep caring, good fortune, unfulfilled hopes. Likely no different than others' lives.
I imagine how Hockney would paint them. Perhaps it would not vary much from his portrait of his own parents inMy Parents, 1977. There they sit on either side of the canvas separated by an artist's carrel in the center of the room against the wall. His mother faces forward, erect in her folding wooden chair, her hands folded on her lap. She looks straight ahead, her expression unblinking, her lips clamped together. Her eyes meet ours. His father sits, turning into the room at a forty-five degree angle. Seemingly oblivious to the portrait session, Mr. Hockney bows his head and reads the book on his lap. Mrs. Hockney's engagement lies with her son, his with a private endeavor.
Maybe the angle of his chair—facing into the room but away from the painter—signifies an emotional inaccessibility. Then again, he is turned toward his wife. Maybe her direct gaze indicates that her primary intimacy lies with her son. Perhaps this portrait represents a map of the Hockneys' lives together. Perhaps it reflects only a moment in time.
In the documentary, one of Hockney's subjects noted that when he posed, the painter looked right into him, as a spy would. Another spoke of the artist's ability to capture an aspect of the person when she is off-balance and to create a "psychological theater and kind of performance." Still others remarked on his ability to expose the feelings between people, to capture the ambiguity in a relationship, and his relationship to his sitters.
If the portraits are objective portrayals, they are still somehow tinged with the artist's own subjectivity. Hockney, though not on the canvas, is present in the portrait. In the film, he confessed as much. When asked how much of a portrait was about a couple and how much about himself, he replied, "Most is probably me, isn't it?"
His response cast doubt on his ability to observe and record objectively, and his inability to wipe himself from his canvas. But art is necessarily subjective. The photographer, Richard Avedon, is reported to have written to Jacques-Henri Lartigue after viewing his photographs, "Seeing them was for me like reading Proust for the first time. You brought me into your world, and isn't that, after all, the purpose of art?"
What then of my parents?
Viewing the Hockney portraits caused me to "look at" my parents differently—to examine the physical space they occupy with respect to one another as well as the distance between them in an effort to examine their relationship. Unlike a painter, though, I am not confined to portraying a static, two-dimensional world. Writing allows me to describe movement and something more closely approximating three-dimensionality.
I mull over how I can "paint" them on the page. For certain, I've observed them in many moments in time. For certain, I've brought myself to the sitting as an observer, but also as their daughter. I want to create as objective a portrait as possible but know that it will be tinged with my feelings.
To me, their poses reveal their separateness but also their connectedness; they sit in the same room though they do not engage with one another. My father feels free enough to doze in my mother's presence. My mother does not interrupt his nap to ask him to draw the curtains. They take comfort in one another's presence, at least in the moment. Or, maybe, I misread them.
Consider my father's napping as a conscious or unconscious disengagement from my mother—or, from me. Consider my mother choosing not to wake him because she prefers to spend the time alone—or, with me. Perhaps, these interpretations, too, miss the mark. Perhaps, they sit in the den in a position of stalemate, or of accommodation. I can't know. I will never know.
I can't know either how they sit in my absence, though I believe that their "poses" are habitual, with slight variations: that, in late afternoon, before my mother prepares dinner, they sit in the den. Together apart. Alone together.
