Friday, October 28, 2011 - Jan and Martin, Screentest
Jan and Martin, Screentest
Martin Rusek is a great looking newcomer, who quickly told us he was up for trying guy-guy stuff, so we set him up with the lovely Jan Pribyla, for a screentest. After a brief interview the guys get right to it, with some very nice kissing. Jan makes the first move with his hand in Martin's crotch, and then works on his nipples some too. He works his way down Martin's body, and opens his jeans. Then Jan pulls Martin's cock out of the those jeans, and it is already quite hard. Jan wanks on that cock as Martin kisses his nipples before Jan removes Martin's jeans, with that cock throbbing and ready for action. Jan sucks on Martin's big hard cock, taking it deep in his mouth. Jan, for his part, slides his hand into Jan's jeans, for a feel of cock too. Jan is enjoying that cock, sucking it and licking up and down the thick shaft and licking on the balls. We change position and Jan is naked, with Martin working on his cock. Jan has a lovely cock and Martin licks it and then sucks on the head before sliding his mouth over the shaft too. He works gently on Jan's cock and soon Jan wants more and throws Martin on his back, climbs over him and shoves his cock back into Martin's mouth and starts to fuck his face. Martin's mouth takes the cock very well indeed, and he wanks himself as he does it. Next Jan gets on his knees so that Martin can rim his hole. As he licks at that hole he slides ...

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Honza Forst is a really handsome guy with a nice slim build. I was very keen to do more than an erotic video with him, so Boris called him in for this massage. He starts off by stripping down for us and then showing us his wares front and back, and very attractive they are too. Then he climbs onto the massage table and awaits the arrival of the masseur. The masseur duly arrives and starts work, firstly massaging Honza's back and then moving down to his hairy legs and his feet. His oiled hands then move under the towel covering Honza's ass and start to massage it. He removes the towel so we can see that bubble butt as he works on it, with the cheeks spreading to tease us with the hole. The hands spend a lot of time on that ass crack, feeling it and then spreading it wide so we get a great view of Honza's tight hole. A finger then finds its slippery way into Honza's hole and starts to slowly fuck in and out before moving down and feeling his balls too. Then it is back to fingering Honza's hole and a vibrator is used to open it even wider, slipping in and out nice and deeply. Honza is moved onto his knees, so that his ass spread nicely and the vibrator gets to work on that ass again. His big cock is hardening as well as it hangs down. The masseur then takes a thicker, black, vibrator and pushes that into Honza's ass as he also wanks his cock. That vibrator is sliding easily into Honza's hole and it is opening up very well, so an even larger one takes its place and in it goes. The vibrator is turned on and makes a merry noise as it works the hole. When it is removed we can see that Honza's hole is wide open, it has been stretched very well indeed. Then Honza lays down, on his back and the masseur starts to wank him, getting his big cock nice and hard, until it shoots a very nice load for us, which is scooped up and smeared over Honza's face. The masseur then leaves Honza to relax, bringing a wonderful scene to and end.

Coming Soon
Today's Coming Attraction is the excellent episode we shot with Mattias and Rado. I really love this shoot. And I've posted a Backstage, Sneak Preview on the Blog. Take a look. The full shoot will be coming soon!
This is a very big holiday in the Czech Republic. There are heaps of empty parking spaces on the street. Most businesses are closed and only tourists are walking around on the streets. It's the anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia after WWI. Never mind that Czechoslovakia no longer exists, it's still a splendid opportunity to take off from work. But not us. Pavel Nikos the gringe that stole Christmas scheduled two shoots and casting couch today. This holiday brings back a memory: Several years back, I was walking Buddy and Aida on Petrin Hill on this day. I had no idea about the holiday. We were near the crest, walking through a stand of forest. All of a sudden BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. I could see the muzzle flashes of the cannons, hidden by the trees, not 10 meters from us. They were firing off a 40 gun salute. I jumped about three feet in the air. Buddy and Aida took off running like crazy. Buddy stopped about a hundred meters away after the firing stopped. Aida was long gone. Of course I was in a panic. About three quarters of the way down the hill, I found Aida where she had been apprehended by the police. If they hadn't stopped her, I'm pretty sure she would have run all the way to Brno. I explained to them as best I could that she'd run away from the artillery fire and they gave her back to me. That was a real freight. And all over an obsolete holiday I'd which I had previously known noting about.
Today, I noticed this article in Salon. The female write is worrying about shaving in the nether region by males. Is it a coming trend? I wonder what rock she has been living under?
Recently, we shot a great threesome with Rado, Mattias, and Gregor. We're saving it for a special occasion. I have made a brief sneak preview for the Blog. Tomorrow, I'll edit a 15 minute version to post in HD on the site after we post the actual set. Please. take a look at the preview.
My pick for from today's Casting Couch is Martin Necas

Annual Toy Drive and Unveiling of the 'Wrecks to Riches' TV Show Project Car Highlight Dec. 6th Twilight Cruise Night at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum
The final Twilight Cruise Night of 2006 — Wed., Dec. 6 — is shaping up to be the premier event of the season at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Auto lovers will unite to view a special car unveiling, see hundreds of classic hot rods, mingle with friends and share some holiday spirit by donating toys to a worthy cause. The event is free and runs from 4 – 8 p.m. at the Fairplex in Pomona.
"The December cruise night is a personal favorite because we are able to gather truckloads of toys to give to children and help make their holidays a little brighter," said Tony Thacker, executive director of the Museum. "All of the toys will be donated to the Inter-City Volunteers, a non-profit charity group that will disperse the gifts to hundreds of needy families in the Inland Valley."
Along with the toy drive this year, guests are in for a thrill when the latest 'Wrecks to Riches' project car by TV star Barry White, a 1957 Chevy Gasser nicknamed "The Exterminator," will be unveiled and sold. A silent auction will be held from 7-9 p.m. for invited guests. Twilight Cruise Night attendees are invited to watch.
As always, the Museum's front and back parking lots will fill with hundreds of 1970 and earlier classic cars. Celebrity judges will scour the ranks to find five of the best vintage vehicles worthy of a special prize a victory lap at Pomona Raceway during the CarQuest Auto Parts NHRA Winternationals, Feb. 8-11, 2007.
Two current exhibits are on display at the museum as well: "Faster: 1960s Photographs of Pomona Drag Racing," presented by the Auto Club; and "50 Years of American Racing Wheels."
December 6th will conclude the seventh year of the museum's Twilight Cruise Night program. Each month, from April through December, the event is hosted by the Cal Rods car club and attracts nearly 2,000 people to participate in raffles, prizes giveaways and a huge 50/50 drawing.

FWN Editorial Team: Pascal Calarco, Adam Williamson 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue207 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NewsProject/Join -- Announcements --In this section, we cover announcements from the Fedora Project, including general announcements[1], development announcements[2] and Events[3].
Contributing Writer: Pascal Calarco 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/ 2. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/ 3. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events ---- Fedora Mailing lists migration ---- Jon Stanley wrote[1]:"Over the last several years, there has been some contention about having Fedora mailing lists hosted on Red Hat infrastructure. As previously announced[2], there was an effort to migrate the mailing lists onto Fedora infrastructure, however, due to a variety of factors, it has been very much delayed.
I'm pleased to announce that we've selected a date(s) for this migration project, and are ready to implement it. On January 9 and 10, 2010, all Fedora related mailing lists that are currently hosted at redhat.com will be migrated to lists.fedoraproject.org. Red Hat has agreed to forward the mail for the old list name to the new list names, and continue hosting the archives at their current location. Additionally, all archives will be copied over to the new location as well. All new archives will only be present at the new location.
We've decided to do this in one fell swoop rather than gradually as originally planned because we feel it to be in the interest of our community to have much pain at one point, rather than small amounts of pain spread out over a long period of time. All of your mail filters that rely on the List-ID header will break on these days, and adjustments on your part will be required. We apologize for the inconvenience. For your convenience, I've posted a mapping of old list names to new list names[3] as well as a PDF version[4]
After the migration, you are welcome to file tickets for new mailing list creation and problems with old ones in the Fedora Infrastructure trac instance[5].

* If you attended FUDCon Toronto, either in-person or remotely via Fedora Live, please take this survey and tell us what you thought. * If you didn't attend FUDCon Toronto but wanted to, please take this survey and tell us how we can help you get to the next one. * If you didn't want to go to FUDCon Toronto, please take this survey and tell us why - it's anonymous. ;-)
The survey is available[3].There are 29 questions, most of the yes/no variety; the survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete (I just timed myself). A special thanks to Robyn Bergeron, Yaakov Nemoy, and the rest of the Fedora Marketing team for designing the survey so it *can* be completed in less than 5 minutes!
Questions are previewable[4]. The survey will be active from 12/16/2009 through 1/8/2010, and we'll be analyzing and announcing the results shortly after it closes. If you're curious about the process, interested in helping us analyze the results, or have any questions in general, join the conversation on the Fedora Marketing mailing list[5]."

Adam Williamson gave an update on the privilege escalation policy topic. He had not received any practical feedback or suggestions from the Red Hat security group, so intended to escalate the issue to FESCo without an actual proposed policy. Will Woods noted that he had had some discussions at FUDCon about how to implement AutoQA tests for builds which added or removed setuid binaries, consolehelper configuration files, or PolicyKit policies.
Will Woods and Kamil Paral reported on the progress of the AutoQA project. Will mentioned that he had given a talk on AutoQA at FUDCon, and pointed to the slides[5]. He had returned with several good ideas for future improvements to AutoQA suggested by other participants, and a clearer plan for implementing the much-needed dependency checking test. Kamil said that he had been working on integrating rpmguard as an AutoQA test, and this initial work was available in the 'kparal/rpmguard-integration' git branch. He had posted an email announcement[6] of this, containing some example output.
James Laska noted the work [User:Rhe|Rui He]] and Liam Li had been doing on the 'is anaconda broken?' proposal[7]. He also said he was planning a release sprint to revise the release validation test plans for the new release criteria.
The Bugzappers group weekly meeting[8] was held on 2009-12-15. The full log is available[9]. Matej Cepl reported that he was planning to replace the current GreaseMonkey script used to enhance Bugzilla pages for the benefit of triagers with Jetpacks[10]. He asked for volunteers to test the initial versions of the Jetpacks, available from his space[11].
The next QA weekly meeting will be held on 2009-12-21 at 1600 UTC in #fedora-meeting. The next Bugzappers weekly meeting will be held on 2009-12-22 at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting.

10. http://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/ 11. http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/scripts/install.html --- Increasing the grub timeout ---Scott Robbins started a long thread[1] with the suggestion to increase the default timeout for the Fedora boot loader from its current default setting of 0 (which causes the boot loader menu never to be shown at all). There were many opinions on this idea, but the general response was positive enough for Scott to file a feature request[2] on the idea, where some compromises were suggested. Richard Ryniker suggested having the system detect unclean shutdowns and force the boot menu to be displayed on the next boot (much as Windows does). Stewart Adam suggested having grub initially installed with a non-zero timeout, and have firstboot change it to zero on the assumption that a system that can get to firstboot must have a properly configured bootloader.

Many members submitted useful reports in response, with a generally positive character. However, one potential issue with the nouveau driver emerged thanks to the report of Mike Chambers[2], and was passed back to the developers for investigation.

A FLASHER exposed himself to a teenage girl a month after a string of similar incidents in Radcliffe.
A man in a blue car exposed himself to a 14-year-old schoolgirl just after 4pm on May 22 in Moor Lane on the border of Kersal and Prestwich.
The man, described as white and aged between 50 and 55, asked the girl for directions to Salford and to the Sports Village.
When she noticed he was exposing himself, she quickly walked away from the car.
Police have linked the crime to three separate incidents on Dumers Lane in Radcliffe this April, which saw girls approached by a middle-aged man in a blue car who asked for directions before exposing himself.
At 7.30pm on April 22 a man exposed himself to a 12-year-old girl after asking her how to get to Bury New Road. She fled into a nearby post office.
At around the same time that day, he approached a 14-year-old girl and asked her how to get to Radcliffe before inviting her into his car.
The girl refused and entered a nearby shop, but the man waited outside the shop and asked her again when she emerged. She refused and he drove off towards Radcliffe.
Then at around 2pm on April 23, the man exposed himself to two girls aged nine and 10 while asking the way to Bury. The children ran away.
The man is described as being of thick set build, with light grey or white short hair, a round face, pale complexion and spoke with a local accent.
At the time of the incident in Kersal he was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with dark pinstripes and light grey suit trousers.
Detective Sergeant Julie Connor said: "We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this crime to get in touch.
"In April this year, there were a number of similar incidents in the Radcliffe area of Bury and we believe they are linked.
"This man could potentially attempt something similar again and I would ask parents to remind their children about stranger danger and not to go near, or get into a vehicle with anyone they do not know."
Police are stepping up patrols in the area and are keen to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience but has not yet reported it.
Anyone who sees a man of this description driving a blue car or approaching young girls is asked to contact police immediately on 0161 856 5351 or Crimestoppers anonymously 0800 555 111.

Maybe its some cross over game, Diablo vs Starcraft vs Warcaft: Blizzard Bloodbath.
How can there ever possibly be a Diablo 3? It's been years since I beat Diablo 2 but I'm pretty sure the story was completely wrapped up in that thing. :P

Editors Note: Boyd Rayward was the
recipient of the ASIS&T Research Award for 2004. The award
honors outstanding research contributions in the field of
information science.
The Historical Development of Information Infrastructures and
the Dissemination of Knowledge: A Personal Reflection
by W. Boyd Rayward
Boyd Rayward is research professor in the GSLIS, University of Illinois, where he can be reached at 501 E. Daniel St., Champaign, IL 61820; phone: 217-244-9741; email: email@example.com
My research over the years has focused on historical questions related to library and information science as providing the intellectual underpinning of a variety of professional practices related to the dissemination and use of information. I have published a number of historical studies examining utopian schemes for managing knowledge, the evolution of institutionalized or organizational aspects of information infrastructure (as represented especially by libraries, museums and systems for the international organization and dissemination of information), and the emergence of what I think of as an interdiscipline nowadays often designated library and information science concerned with the study of these phenomena.
Studies of the Life and Work of Paul Otlet
The Universe of Information: The Work of Paul Otlet for Documentation and International Organization was an initial study of a hitherto neglected figure. A Russian translation of this book was published in 1977 and a Spanish edition in 1996. With the advent of the Internet and the Web, it has become clear how pioneering and important historically the work of Paul Otlet and his colleagues was. It seems yet even more relevant today with the recently announced agreement between Google and a number of research libraries to digitize and make their collections available through the Web. I have argued that in Otlets world of paper, card and cabinet technology he provided a theoretical basis for, and described many of the functionalities characteristic of, today's information technology and the uses to which it has been put. Two articles that might be mentioned in this context are Visions of Xanadu: Paul Otlet (1868-1944) and Hypertext, and "The origins of information science and the International Institute of Bibliography/International Federation of Documentation (FID). Both articles were reprinted in ASIS&Ts Historical Studies in Information Science.
Otlets innovative thinking encourages us to question and to broaden our understanding of what constitutes a document. His technological experiments and speculations suggest how clearly he understood that technology limits not only what we can do but also what we realize is possible in the management of information and that, reciprocally, technology can open up what we can think as well as what we can do. Many of the failures he experienced and his conceptual struggles with them also made him acutely aware that managing and deploying information are profoundly social processes that are embedded in political and ideological structures of various kinds. Otlets Traité de Documentation is, for me, the first systematic information science treatise. I believe that his ideas have a historical role in our understanding of the emergence of the Internet and World Wide Web and the functionalities they represent that is as important as any of the roles attributed to such pioneering and iconic figures as H.G. Wells, Vannevar Bush, Ted Nelson and others. The World Wide Web: how readily he would have embraced this simple evocative locution for what he called the International Network for Universal Documentation!
Organization and Dissemination of Knowledge: Selected Essays of Paul
Otlet was designed to make
some of his thinking available in the English-speaking world. A
collection of my own papers on Otlet-related matters has been
translated by Pilar Arnau Rived into Spanish as Hasta la Documentacion Electronica. A recent article,
"Knowledge Organization and a New World Polity: The Rise and
Fall and Rise of the Ideas of Paul Otlet," is an attempt to
assess the historiography that has developed around Otlet and his
work in the last 25 years or so and introduces the Otlet-themed
issue of the bi-lingual Transnational Associations/Associations Transnationales, the journal
of the Union of International Associations.
Historiographical Questions Related to Library and Information Science
My studies of Otlet's work made me aware that asking, What is a library or bibliography or information or librarianship or library and information science? is to ask interesting historically contingent questions. My first exploration of some of these questions took a kind of evolutionist view in "The Development of Library and Information Science: Disciplinary Differentiation, Competition and Convergence," in Machlup and Mansfields The Study of Information: Interdisciplinary Messages. Later in "The History and Historiography of Information Science: Some Reflections," which introduced an issue that I edited of Information Processing and Management on the history of information science, I tried to give a broader view of what I saw as the nature of information and the roles and functions of the systems that we have devised as a society to manage information, of which the library is an historically important example. I think of all of these elements as societys information infrastructure before the term was taken over and limited in its designation by the telecommunications industry (History and Historiography of Information Science). The first of two more recent studies explores the idea of emergent communities that are both national and international in their interest in historical study of information systems and science, while the second explores the idea of how we might think about pioneers in a field like library and information science (Scientific and Technological Information Systems and When and Why Is a Pioneer?).
The advent of the computer, telecommunications, the Internet and the Web has profoundly affected access to and systems for the management of information. These developments represent the emergence of a new and to some degree revolutionary communications infrastructure. Libraries are necessarily a part of it. I have tried to examine the initial confrontation between what were for some time two antagonistic groups. The first group was librarians and libraries as organizations formed by and within complex, deeply rooted traditions of codified professional practice and belief. The second group was computer scientists and engineers who had only relatively recently descended onto the world of work, vigorously touting the miracles that their revolutionary new machines could produce. These new innovations seemed to promise so much to librarians, who were filled with anxiety at the escalating costs and the volume of materials they confronted and alive with hope from what was promised; I try to explain why in the event so little was produced by computer scientists and engineers at least at first. What was the nature of the attitudes, expectations and practices that led to collisions within these two communities of interest and what was needed for partial assimilation of one by the other or at least accommodation between them to be achieved? An attempt to answer such questions is A History of Computer Applications in Libraries: Prolegomena that introduced a two-issue compilation of articles on the history of computing in libraries for the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing.
I have also argued that the current developments in information technology allow us to examine museums and archives as well as libraries in a new light. As the boundaries between them as organizations begin to blur in the digital world, I suggest that we can begin to conceptualize their functions as interrelated in new (and old) ways (Electronic Information and Functional Integration, From Docent to Cyber Docent).
Future Directions
My aim is to seek to further develop and to integrate two sets of historically separate studies. One has elements that are focused on the mid and latter half of the 17th century in England and France. The other has elements that are focused on the period in Europe between the two world wars in the 20th century. Both were periods of epistemic transition, to echo Foucault, in which great changes were beginning to appear in the information infrastructure of the time. These changes reflected profound disturbances in society and equally profound changes in the nature and speed of knowledge production and dissemination.
Toward the end of the first period we are beginning to see emerge from the epistolatory practices and ideology of the "Republic of Letters," new approaches to scientific publishing and scholarly communication, centered at least initially in new scientific academies and later scholarly associations, that were eventually to become fundamental to the creation and advancement of modern science and scholarship. From the floods of pamphlets and broadsides of the period, we see newspapers and popular journals, as we will know them, beginning to emerge and to differentiate functions and audiences. What will eventually become systems of the book trade and later official national bibliography are adumbrated. The need in the national capitals and in regional centers for new social settings within which the informal exchange of information can take place (but which also introduce some kind structure for what might be called personal communicative relationships in the world of letters and learning) is becoming apparent. This structure is reflected in the interests, relationships and behaviors of the clienteles the habitués of particular bookshops, aristocratic salons and drawing rooms, coffee shops and even alehouses of the time. The diverse functions that initially characterized these locales were eventually and perhaps relatively quickly supplanted by new forms of publication and new and highly differentiated bibliothecal organizational formations, one of the most enduring of which will be the public library.
The second period is characterized by the existence of fully mature scholarly communication and library systems, both at the local and national levels, and by complex national and international systems of scientific publication and bibliographical services. But it is a period in which the effectiveness of the now long-established organizational arrangements for managing public knowledge as they have developed since the invention of printing and the emergence of great knowledge institutions that had begun to take shape in the 17th century arrangements centrally involving, for example, universities, scientific associations and academies, the publishing industry, and libraries and museums are being questioned. In Europe among their interrogators are Paul Otlet, H. G. Wells, Otto Neurath and others who are seeking to find ways of overcoming barriers to social as well as scientific and technical progress inherent in the knowledge apparatus as it was then constituted. For Otlet, Wells and others microfilm and indeed other technologies, such as Neurath's ISOTYPE visual language, offer the prospect of a revolutionary technological "fix" to the existing inefficiencies of the systems of scientific and scholarly communication.
The work that I have done so far only touches on some of these matters. In Information Processing and Management, Some Schemes for Restructuring and Mobilizing Information in Documents: A Historical Perspective, I examine the utopian information management ideas of John Dury and Samuel Hartlib (and their colleagues in mid-17th century London) and of Leibniz, as well as those of more recent figures such as William Learned and H. G. Wells. I have gone back to look closely at Bacons ideas about the nature of knowledge and how his ideas might be related to issues of scientific communication and knowledge organization (Francis Bacon). I have also mounted what I hope is a cogently argued negative critique of Wells idea of a World Brain. Much remains!
The underlying goal of these kinds if studies is to examine the ways in which all societies are, in some sense, information societies. To do so, we focus on periods in which for some articulate and influential persons the information infrastructure of the time seems to be breaking down and is prompting them both to criticize what exists and to speculate about what is needed. What comprises information infrastructure? How does it assume institutional forms that historically integrate people, technologies and various kinds of practices involving collecting, preserving, organizing and making information available for use? And how does this complex infrastructure underlie social stability and change, both as cause and effect? These questions are grand, perhaps ultimately irresolvable, but how fascinating they remain even if one is still merely nibbling around the edges!

The other day Bela said to me: I don't make you laugh like I used to. You don't write about it anymore.
I corrected him and said: That's not true, I just don't write them down anymore so I forget and then, well, they don't make the blog.
I mean, look at this picture!!! How can I not laugh at that face? Every time I need a laugh, I just think about this photo and I chuckle...
And then, there was the other day when we had this conversation.
Let me set it up for you.
We were getting into the car. The hot car. On a hot day. I was driving and Bela said: Can you PLEASE turn up the air conditioning?
I said: Yes, but why didn't you wear shorts? It's so hot out!!!
He said: My legs aren't hot, my head is!
Truth is, and I'm sure you know this well, that when you're stuck in a place like we are, even the little things that make one laugh are a mercy.
Especially that photo.

MURDERER Nicola Edgington – who knifed two people in Bexleyheath - had a history of mental illness dating back to the killing of her mother in 2005.
The 32-year-old was today found guilty of murdering grandmother Sally Hodkin, 58, with a meat cleaver and attempting to murder then 22-year-old Kerry Clark in Bexleyheath town centre on October 10, 2011.
Edgington, of Flavell Mews, Greenwich, was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act after stabbing her mother nine times in her family home in Forest Row, East Sussex, in 2005.
But she was released in 2009 to live in the community while being monitored by a doctor, nurse and social worker.
In late 2011, she suffered paranoia, visions of "religious grandiosity" and visited a nonmainstream church in Peckham where she claimed to see demons, the Old Bailey heard.
Edgington claimed the church – which has links to the Pentecostal Universal Church of the Kingdom of God and rumours of exorcisms – taught her of a 100-eyed monster that guarded the throne of God and took the form of the police on earth.
Prosecutor Mark Heywood QC told the jury: "She had been in a non mainstream church and thought the police where the embodiment of a monster that sat beneath the throne of God.
"She saw old people in the church and believed there were demons everywhere."
Speaking in court, consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Adrian Cree said Edgington – who had last visited the church in the year of her mother's death – went in seeking answers but had a negative experience days before the attack.
He said: "She goes in there seeking answers. Instead of it being a positive experience, one of delusional experiences.
"The religious framework was her way of explaining everything."
Dr Cree said Edgington told him of visions of a nuclear holocaust where she had been left behind by God.
He said: "She said, 'I thought Jesus had come back for the souls and I had been left behind. "I felt I was back in 2005 on the bus with madness. I didn't understand because I love God.'"
Edgington's defence team argued she was mentally ill with paranoid schizophrenia and that her responsibility was diminished.
The prosecution said she was suffering from a borderline personality disorder and her actions were deliberate.

For more, see Windpower Monthly Market Status 2013
Some traditional markets are at a standstill, notably Spain and Portugal. The wind industry in many countries is hit by a double whammy - nervous politicians are reining in support schemes, wrongly believing that renewables are too expensive, while faltering economies reducing demand for electricity and therefore, new generation capacity.
The US industry had a record year with 13.1GW installed, taking it higher than rival China's 12.85GW. However, this exchange of fortunes by the top two wind powerhouses is temporary. The US had a false boom caused by a rush to construct turbines before the lapse of the production tax credit. This year, installations are expected to calm down considerably to around 3GW.
China saw its growth drop from the 16GW installed in the record year of 2011 to 12.85GW. But though it is facing consolidation of the runaway growth of previous years, political ambition and support will sustain the industry on a steady path. The Chinese Wind Energy Association predicts 18GW of new projects this year.
Other markets are showing surprising performance. Mexico, having installed no wind in 2011, more than doubled its capacity to 1.29GW in 2012. New technology has resulted in turbines that can take full advantage of Mexico's strong winds to operate at full capacity 35-40% of the time. Mexico has achieved something that more established markets can only dream of - a market that operates without the need for a support mechanism.
In Romania and Austria, wind benefitted from political support for renewables. With new legislation last year, Romania almost doubled installed capacity and the previously bumpy Austrian market grew by 27%.
Offshore, the UK again led the fray, with 1.15GW installed in 2012, nearly four times the combined effort of the five other countries installing offshore. Work goes on across Europe on several large offshore projects and the US may see its first offshore turbines in the water this year.
Some figures have been rounded, so there may be minor discrepancies between the sum of a set of data and the overall stated total.

He can be a headache at times. But what a glorious headache he can be.
Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant did it again Sunday night, showing why the Cowboys have hugged him, coddled him, given him so many chances. Bryant took over at times during the Cowboys' 38-33 win over the Eagles, with six catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns. The scores came at crucial junctures, when the Cowboys were desperate for someone to make a play.
That's the best time for a playmaker to make them.
A win over a bad team is no reason to celebrate too much. The Eagles have now lost eight in a row to fall to 3-9. And the Cowboys themselves are 6-6. (Watch game highlights here.)
But the way Bryant has begun to dominate opponents is amazing. There were moments against a well-paid, if not good, Eagles secondary when it simply was not fair. But that's been happening more and more often, as his physical gifts have been augmented by what appears to be knowledge of the game, and more polished routes.
Over the last four games, Bryant has 29 catches for 475 yards and six touchdowns. That's the kind of production that will make a team make special rules, and make them glad to have to.
Here are five more things we learned during Sunday Night Football:
1. Nick Foles may or may not be the Eagles quarterback of the future.
But he's at least getting better, in a bad situation, and that's a good sign.
Foles looks like a different guy than the one who made a mess of things against the Redskins, or stepped back out of the way and watched Bryce Brown run against the Panthers.
He has the ability to make throws from the pocket and on the move, and it would be interesting to see him in a good situation (i.e. with starting receivers and a real offensive line).
He's not going to get that opportunity this year, but he might show enough to make them give him a chance.
2. It is very difficult, and sometimes unfair, to judge individual parts of a bad team when so many things have gone so poorly.
That said, Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha might be the biggest mystery in the league.
It is no longer a question of whether he's worth the money. He's not. The Eagles got sucked into the trap of paying for past performance. If you want to make a splash and sign big free agent names, that's going to happen sometimes.
But he doesn't look remotely like the same player who could shut down half a field in Oakland. If you peeled the names and numbers off the backs of jerseys, you'd never say, "Yes, that one, let's give him a pile of money."
3. That said, the Eagles' safeties are horrible.
It's unclear if they're simply not talented enough to play in the NFL, or are so poorly coached they've been rendered useless, or both.
But after watching Panthers backup tight end Gary Barnidge torch them last week, an actual player like Cowboys star Jason Witten was bound to get in the highlight reel.
4. The Cowboys are simply a different team with running back DeMarco Murray on the field.
That's easy to say when they're last in the league in rushing and get their best runner back on the field.
But Murray runs differently than anyone else they have, and that makes every part of their offense better.
He gains the yards, but he also creates space for the guys on the edges, and can make an opposing defense pause a beat before coming straight at Tony Romo.
The Cowboys quarterback is a different player when he has a moment, and Murray can help buy him a few.
5. The Eagles releasing defensive end Jason Babin was viewed as a white-flag move by some, clearing the books of a big number in a season gone awry.
But Brandon Graham, who replaced him in the starting lineup, had 1.5 sacks in the first half, and showed good burst.
When you're faced with inevitable change, it makes sense to look at all the young parts you can.
Graham looks like the kind of player the next administration will enjoy, provided they run a system he fits into.

Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award
|National Basketball Association awards and honors
|Individual awards
The Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award (formerly known as the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award) is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since the 1969 NBA Finals. The award is decided by a panel of nine media members, who cast votes after the conclusion of the Finals. The person with the highest votes wins the award. In at least one NBA Finals, fans balloting on NBA.com accounted for the tenth vote.[1][2] The award was originally a black trophy with a gold basketball-shaped sphere at the top, similar to the Larry O'Brien Trophy, until a new trophy was introduced in 2005.[3][4]
Since its inception, the award has been given to 30 different players. Michael Jordan is a record six-time award winner.[5] Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan and LeBron James won the award three times in their careers. Jordan and O'Neal are the only players to win the award in three consecutive seasons (Jordan accomplished the feat on two separate occasions). Johnson is the only rookie ever to win the award,[6] as well as the youngest at 20 years old.[7] Andre Iguodala is the only winner to have not started every game in the series.[8] Jerry West, the first ever awardee, is the only person to win the award while being on the losing team in the NBA Finals.[5] Willis Reed, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon and Kobe Bryant won the award twice. Olajuwon, Bryant, and James have won the award in two consecutive seasons. Abdul-Jabbar and James are the only players to win the award for two different teams. Olajuwon of Nigeria, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1993, Tony Parker of France, and Dirk Nowitzki of Germany are the only international players to win the award. Duncan is an American citizen, but is considered an "international" player by the NBA because he was not born in one of the fifty states or Washington, D.C.[9] Parker and Nowitzki are the only winners to have been trained totally outside the U.S.; Olajuwon played college basketball at Houston and Duncan at Wake Forest. Cedric Maxwell is the only Finals MVP winner eligible for the Hall of Fame who has not been voted in.[10]
On February 14, 2009, during the 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix, then-NBA Commissioner David Stern announced that the award would be renamed the "Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award" in honor of 11-time NBA champion Bill Russell.[11]

text: I've always been a believer in an activity themed third date. There's only so much left to say to a person after a few phone calls and a couple of dinners. But if it's too cold out to rollerblade or ride bikes, and you don't want to seem too cheap too soon by taking your date to a movie, try taking them to a show, specifically You've Got Hate Mail.. I caught You've Got Hate Mail at the Triad theater on the Upper West Side a couple of weeks ago, and if the guy/girl you're with enjoys sexual humor, it's the perfect place to take them. The entire show consists of five actors sitting at laptops facing the audience, while they read aloud the emails/texts they're sending to and receiving from each other. It all starts when a cheating husband, played by the show's co-writer Billy Van Zandt, mistakenly sends an email intended for his mistress to his loving and naive wife, played by co-writer Jane Milmore. The communications and miscommunications, intentional and unintentional, that ensue are what drive this hour and a half long show that reminded me a bit of an episode of Three's Company -- if Mr. Roper were banging Janet and Mrs. Roper found out. And there's a reason for the sitcomy vibe of this show - Van Zandt and Milmore have produced and written over 300 hours of television comedy. But with You've Got Hate Mail, there's no laugh track, and they don't need one. The night I was there, the audience laughed at every single line that was meant to be laughed at, and there were a lot of 'em. It's fun, it's funny, and it's $35 a ticket with a two drink minimum. So take someone you're trying to impress, and get all that talking/getting to know you stuff out of your system on the first two dates.
