Friday, November 29, 2013 - Walter, Vladimir and Jarmil RAW - CZECH UP
Walter, Vladimir and Jarmil RAW - CZECH UP
Jarmil Sladky has his leg in plaster and has to visit the doctor's office to have it checked. Dr Walter Uwe and Sister Vladimir Kruty are on duty to attend to him. Since his accident Jarmil has had a few problems, so he needs to be thoroughly checked. Walter begins an examination, listening to his chest through the stethoscope. He tells Jarmil to get undressed for a full exam. Jarmil is helped to undress by Vladimir. In his undies Jarmil sits on the examination chair and Walter begins to check him out. Feeling Jarmil's lower abdomen causes him some discomfort so the doctor has him remove his underwear to check his temperature. With his legs in the stirrups Jarmil feels the thermometer as it slides into his ass. As Walter does the examination Vladimir takes notes. Not convinced at the results the thermometer is then inserted into Jarmil's piss slit and then Walter examines the cock and balls more closely. His hands feel the balls rubbing them, as Vladimir rubs his hands, soothingly over the patient's body. Jarmil's cock begins to grow and Vladimir leans to kiss his neck and then starts sucking that dick. He sucks it and then Walter takes over. They take turns on that rock hard cock as Jarmil's balls tighten nicely. Walter loses his top and pulls out a big hard cock, which Jarmil takes hold of and wanks. Vladimir is hard too and as he removes his shirt he feels Jarmil take hold of that cock and wank it as well. They are licking and sucking Jarmil's cock, breathing heavily, as he wanks both of them. Vladimir moves up so that Jarmil can suck on his cock too, as Walter continues to suck him. Walter then leans over and takes a suck on Vladimir's cock as well. Vladimir goes back to sucking Jarmil as Walter's mouth is closed around his cock. He fucks Walter's mouth as he wanks and sucks Jarmil. Walter needs sucking too and he moves so that Jarmil and Vladimir can take turns on his dick. The sucking continues apace, each taking turns on the other until Walter takes things further. With Vladimir taking Jarmil's place on the chair, Walter rims his hot hole. He rims it and then slips a finger in as well. It's not long until Walter's massive cock finds its way into that tight ass. He fucks it hard and fast as Vladimir wanks himself and sucks Jarmil. Vladimir moves onto his knees and Walter shoves his cock back into that hot hole, fucking it nice and deep. As he gets fucked good and hard Vladimir kisses Jarmil. Vladimir loves that big dick in his ass, and he lets Walter sit and then he takes a ride on that big cock, wanking himself hard as he does so. With Walter's dick so deep in his ass Vladimir wanks himself to a climax, shooting his juice everywhere. He continues to ride that big cock until Walter pulls out and shoots his cum too. Then Jarmil stands over Vladimir and wanks his cream onto Vladimir's chest. All spent the guys kiss to finish a great Czech Up.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Felix Ryha and Jan Faust are two great looking guys who we paired up. In this scene we find them as Felix is oiling Jan's body. That awesome chest gets coated in the oi. Jan then does the same to Felix's hot chest. His muscles glisten beautifully as the oil is massaged into the chest. Then each of them oils the other's back too. Then the guys begin to kiss each other and dip hands into shorts. Jan's big cock is pulled out of his shorts and Felix kisses his way down the body to suck on the cock. Cupping the balls he sucks on that cock and quickly gets it rock hard. He kisses again and continues to suck, and then he gets naked, his own cock standing to attention. Sitting on the bedframe Felix leans back as Jan goes down on his stiff dick. He suck that big cock real good, as Felix holds his head on it. With his cock so hard Felix knows exactly what he wants and he positions Jan so he can fuck him. His big cock slides in and out of that tight ass, as Jan moans with each thrust. Turning Jan over, to missionary position Felix continues to fuck him nice and deep. Jan takes that dick real good, and turns over, spread-eagled, for Felix to fuck him some more. Felix is soon ready to shoot, and pulls out to dump his creamy load all over Jan's ass. Jan then turns over and wanks himself to a lovely cumshot. They kiss to bring a lovely scene to an end.

Happy Black Friday to you. We all hope you had a great Thanksgiving day. MikeSC and I celebrated Turkey Day, just like last year, with a meal at a Greek Restaurant. We both had chicken, about the closest thing to Turkey, on the menu. It was great, but no stuffing. Mike departs on Sunday. Between now and then the first snow of the season is predicted for Prague. I think it's shaping up to be a cold winter. The cold weather does seem to be encouraging potential models to drop in for casting. I'll spare you any developments regarding the Czech political circus until next week.
Jarmil Sladky's Czech Up, with Walter Uwe and Vladimir Kruty starts things off today. That is followed by Lukas Vodicka in his erotic video, Peter Pedrak's session stills and a lovely backstage video of Wank Party 2013 #5.
Our castings today feature three guys, all of whom look very good, Vaclav Pasek, Mirek Manes and Jirka Ortok. I think my pick for today will be Jirka Ortok.

Rated 2 out of 5 by dallasgal10 from Disappointed "I bought this necklace when it was sold in the store a few months back. It was so cute and it seemed to go with everything. However within a couple of weeks, the rhinestones started falling out left and right. And just after that, the necklace became discolored. No one at the local store seemed to have any solutions for me. I was so disappointed because I absolutely loved the necklace!! :-("

Infiniti Q30: Frankfurt Auto Show
What Is It?
Unveiled yesterday at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Infiniti Q30 concept foreshadows a future in which Generation X and Y sensibilities increasingly define the luxury car landscape. We've seen moves in this direction already, with premium compact offerings such as the new Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, and the Q30 is Infiniti's corporate vision of what's next. Described in the company's press release as "not a coupe, not a hatch and not a crossover," the Infiniti Q30 targets younger luxury buyers who defy convention and are drawn to disruptive new products. Imagine a twenty- or thirtysomething couple looking to upgrade from a Nissan Juke -- that's where the Q30 comes in.
Will They Ever Sell It?
Infiniti refers to the Q30 as "the design precursor for Infiniti's future compact premium entry," with production scheduled to begin in 2015, so we expect something very much like this concept to hit dealerships within the next few years. Tellingly, the beautifully detailed interior appears to be a nearly finished product, which usually means a production version isn't far off. Indeed, aside from a few show-car details, such as carbon-fiber trim and concealed door handles, the Q30 looks ready to hit the road, though Infiniti has yet to discuss powertrain details.
Why It's Important
Unless you count the venerable J30 crossover (formerly known as the EX), Infiniti doesn't have an answer to hip, affordable luxury offerings such as the CLA, the CLA-based GLA crossover or the upcoming Audi A3. As such, a Q30-inspired compact could be just what the doctor ordered for Infiniti's aging lineup. The Q30 also models the brand's expressive new design language; look for similar flourishes on every new Infiniti going forward.

New Car Review
2013 Audi A3: New Car Review
Pros: Two excellent engines, great fuel economy with the TDI diesel, fancy vibe inside and out, refined driving character.
Cons: The Volkswagen Golf five-door hatch is similar, newer and cheaper.
What's New: The A3 is unchanged for 2013.
The 2013 Audi A3 is a rare thing in the world of luxury cars: a small hatchback that's not jacked up to look like a tough SUV. In fact, it's the only compact German luxury hatchback you can buy on American soil. From the driver's standpoint, that's excellent news, because the A3 has a lower center of gravity than luxury crossovers like the BMW X3 and Audi's own Q5. Throw in the A3's impeccable German road manners, and you've got a recipe for driving satisfaction.
But on the other hand, the A3 uses an older version of the Volkswagen Golf's platform, whereas the Golf itself uses newer hardware and is far more affordable. Additionally, the VW's interior is so nice that it could almost pass for luxury-grade itself, and both of the A3's engines are also offered in the Golf/GTI range, with minor changes in the gasoline engine's case. The only real Audi exclusive is Quattro all-wheel drive.
Still, leaving aside in-house competition from Volkswagen, we have to admit that the A3 remains an appealing package. A base A3 2.0T with the manual transmission can be yours for under $30,000, and the A3 TDI is the most cost-effective way to get diesel power from a European luxury marque. So if you're looking for a practical luxury car that won't empty your wallet, take the 2013 A3 for a spin. In today's crossover-happy marketplace, there's really nothing else like it.
Comfort & Utility
The Audi A3 keeps it simple with just two trim levels: Premium and Premium Plus. Each is available with both the gasoline and diesel engines.
The Premium comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, the "S line" exterior styling package, leather upholstery, manual front seats with adjustable height, dual-zone automatic climate control and a 140-watt audio system with both an auxiliary input and an SD card reader.
The Premium Plus adds different 17-inch alloys, xenon headlamps, a multifunction steering wheel with available shift paddles (automatic transmission only), a power driver's seat with adjustable lumbar and Bluetooth connectivity.
A Bluetooth Value package adds Bluetooth, the multifunction wheel and the power driver's seat to the Premium trim. Additional options include a dual-pane sunroof, a Sport package (featuring 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and sport front seats), a Convenience package (Bose audio, rear parking sensors and other niceties) and Audi's Multi-Media Interface (MMI) with navigation and either a six-CD changer or an iPod input.
The A3's standard front seats provide firm support on the highway, but they're surprisingly low on lateral support for cornering. If you plan to drive your A3 with any kind of enthusiasm, we strongly recommend anteing up for the Sport package, which contributes better-bolstered seats.
Happily, drivers of all sizes should be able to find an agreeable position thanks to the tilt-telescopic steering wheel and standard height adjustment. The gauges behind that wheel are of the classic analog variety, with Audi's distinctive font employed for the numerals. Materials quality throughout the cabin is very good, particularly given the A3's sub-$30,000 starting price, but there's an older, mid-2000s feel inside the A3 that you don't get in newer models like the A4.
The A3's back seat doesn't want for headroom, but a combination of limited legroom and a low bottom cushion gives the rear quarters a somewhat claustrophobic feel. That's not unexpected in a compact hatchback, though it's worth noting that we've found the newer Golf's back seat to be somewhat more accommodating.
Cargo space is about average for a hatchback of this size, measuring 19.5 cubic feet behind the rear seatbacks and 39 cubic with the seatbacks flipped forward.
The aging A3 has managed to stay current in many ways, but it's missing a USB port, and it only offers iPod connectivity with the expensive navigation system. Also, we're surprised that Bluetooth is an extra-cost option. But if you're willing to pony up for the MMI infotainment system, you'll have one of the highest-tech little hatchbacks around. Notably, this version of MMI features a dash-mounted control knob; if you want a console-mounted knob that falls readily to hand, you'll have to step up to at least the A4 (or wait for the next A3). But we've come to appreciate MMI's relatively intuitive operation, no matter where the knob resides.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The A3 2.0T is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 that runs on gasoline, while the 2.0 TDI gets a turbodiesel 2.0-liter inline-4. The former is rated at 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque, while the latter gets 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
The gas engine has more options, featuring either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual—and your choice of front-wheel drive or Quattro all-wheel drive (the latter offered only with the automatic). The diesel engine comes standard with front-wheel drive and the automatic.
In brief, you can't go wrong with either motor. The venerable 2.0T provides sprightly acceleration even in a larger vehicle like the Volkswagen Tiguan, so it's no surprise that the A3 2.0T moves out smartly when prodded, surfing on a wave of smooth turbocharged torque. The standard stick shift wins nostalgia points, but the automatic is one of the best of its breed, so you can't go wrong on transmissions, either. As for the diesel, it packs a serious low-rpm punch thanks to its high torque rating, and although the A3 TDI ultimately isn't a fast car, it feels plenty energetic around town.
On the fuel-economy front, the TDI easily takes the crown with its EPA rating of 30 mpg city/42 mpg highway. The 2.0T gets as high as 21/30 mpg with the 6-speed manual, but drops to 22/28 mpg with the automatic, and 21/28 mpg with all-wheel drive.
The A3 comes with standard stability control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, and eight airbags (front, front-side, rear-side, full-length side-curtain).
The government has not crash-tested the A3 lately, but the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the A3 its highest rating of "Good" in every crashworthiness category.
Driving Impressions
The 2013 Audi A3 feels identifiably older than Audi's latest products from behind the wheel, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Although the A3's steering has electric power-assist like most new luxury cars, there's an endearing mechanical honesty to the way this Audi goes about its business. The car's handling limits are high, especially with all-wheel drive and the Sport package, yet the ride remains supple and reasonably quiet. The A3 may be based on the previous-generation VW Golf, but that's really not a bad place to start.
Other Cars to Consider
Volkswagen Golf TDI and GTI: If you want the same engine choices in an updated product, look no further than the cheaper Golf TDI and GTI. Note, however, that all-wheel drive is available only in the expensive, performance-oriented Golf R.
Lexus CT 200h: Don't look to the Lexus for competitive performance, but do check it out if fuel economy is high on your list. As a small luxury hatchback with great fuel economy, the CT 200h makes for an interesting alternative to the A3 TDI.
Mazdaspeed3: If you want to stimulate your adrenal glands, the Mazdaspeed3 hatchback will leave any A3 in the dust with its serious turbocharged power and focused suspension tuning.
AutoTrader Recommends
We think the A3 looks best when its value quotient is highest, so we recommend looking at the entry-level A3 2.0T with the 6-speed manual. It'll be hard to find a nicer all-around vehicle for under $30,000, even at the A3's advanced age.

Everyone in America is tired of listening to discussion of the fiscal cliff
Everyone in America is tired of listening to discussion of the fiscal cliff.
Thanks to an inability of Congress to enact basic legislation, we are headed over the cliff. Right now, both sides are dueling without guns. Neither chamber of Congress has put together a bill that would stave off the automatic tax increases and expense cuts that were set to go into effect if provisions in the last stop-gap measure – the Budget Control Act of 2011 - weren't made permanent by Jan. 1, 2013.
Going over the fiscal cliff means the end of a two percent payroll tax break for every employed person in America. It means the end of the Bush tax cuts which included several tax credits on the IRS Forms you will be filling out in a month or so and also a lower standard deduction for all tax filers.
There are also spending cuts that would go into place that would be as close to austerity measures as the United States has come in decades.
The actions that go into effect without an agreement by December 31 are expected to cut about $500 billion from the nation's budget deficit.
That's where we are.
Even with tax hikes and spending cuts that most people see as going to far, we don't even eliminate half of our deficit.
I am not sure that the measures would even work. If you cut the deficit in theory, but send the nation into the second dip of a double-dip recession, then the additional loss in revenue would possibly consume all of the savings you are expecting.
If Congress could agree on targeted spending cuts and intelligent tax increases, we could dodge this bullet and let an expanding economy help cut the deficit by raising revenue organically. Taking the same percentage of a larger pie makes far more sense than taking more of the same pie. If we learned nothing else from our holiday dinners, it is that you have to have enough pie to go around.
If fear mongering helps then we should be in great shape.
The fiscal cliff raises your taxes, cuts important services and will raise gas and milk prices to levels that would make using either almost untenable.
Other than that, 2013 should be a great year.
I don't expect a deal to get done by the deadline.
Both sides are willing to let the cuts expire in order to see where the leverage falls.
That's a dangerous game. For the Democrats, they could lose any political capital they gained with the election of Barack Obama for a second term and keeping their control in the Senate.
The Republicans have more to lose because the damage that would be inflicted on people hits demographics hardest where they already struggle to win votes. The 2014 midterm elections should be a chance for them to have similar success to that which they enjoyed in 2010. But the TEA Party representatives from the right wing of the party are already getting blamed for more than their share of the problems causing this issue.
If blame for going over the fiscal cliff lands on them, 2014 could be a significant setback for the GOP.
Until then, both houses of Congress wait for the other to act. No one wants to be the first one to bet in this game. Everyone wants to be the guy with his hat pulled low bluffing on every hand.
The rest of the country feels like the little character on the Price is Right game Cliffhangers. We keep inching up the fiscal cliff and appear to be headed over. Please stop… Please stop… Please…. Doh! It's too late. We don't win the car.
Both sides know that when these measures take effect that they can enact legislation to retroactively "save the day."
What both parties need to remember is that when action is required, no one wins in a staring contest.

White tongue does not equal thrush. Many babies have a white tongue appearance. Thrush in baby is typically seen as white patches on other parts of baby's mouth. If you scratch the white patch and it is red underneath, that is a very strong thrush indicator.
However thrush can certainly be present even if baby has no symptoms. Moms symptoms include breast and/or nipple pain during and in between feedings, (often shooting pain,) itching, red or bright pink nipples, scaly or shiny nipples.
burning after nursing could also be vasospasm. And it could be both thrush and vasospasm.
I am not sure about the milk issue. But here is the kellymom article about it, which is a reliable resource that offers evidence based info. As you can see, even the experts disagree a bit here. http://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/chil...xpressed-milk/
Unfortunately thrush is an incredibly tricky thing, often incorrectly diagnosed (both over and under) and incorrectly treated, and has a tendency to recur, so that-reoccurrence-would be the concern with your stored milk, as carm3 already answered.
This is a good thrush overview https://www.llli.org/faq/thrush.html
and here is one thrush protocol http://www.nbci.ca/index.php?option=...tion&Itemid=17

Empire Theatre
118 Elm Street,
New Bedford,
No one has favorited this theater yet
A lost theatre of New Bedford. The Empire Theatre was opened on September 11, 1922.
Recent comments (view all 9 comments)
The MGM Theatre Photograph and Report form for the Empire has an exterior photo dated May 1941. The theatre had an impressive facade with a bulb-studded vertical sign and a long marquee. Attractions posted were "A Girl, A Guy and a Gob" plus "Argentina". There were 6 poster cases along the facade. The Report states that the Empire is at 118 Elm Street in New Bedford, that it has been presenting MGM product for 4 years; that it's less than 15 years old, in Good condition, and has 1,845 seats.
The Empire Theatre is still listed as operating in the 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook. Seating capacity is given as 1,850
From the 1990s (?) booklet The Center – Downtown New Bedford in the 1950s by Carmen Maiocco:
"The Empire Theater in Elm Street was demolished in 1969. The theater opened in 1922 on the site of a former horse stable that burned down in 1914. At first, live entertainment – music, dancing, comedy, and such, was offered at the Empire. Then, in 1932, the Zeitz family acquired the property and they turned the place into a moviehouse. Before, during, and after World War II, Bogart, Hepburn, Brando, and the like, packed them in. In the 1950s, features included Gigantis, the Fire Monster and Teenager from Outer Space. The last movie ever shown at the Empire, in 1964, was My Fair Lady. The next year the traveling show Those Wonderful Days of Burlesque, appeared on the stage. It was the theater's final performance, and it was fitting. The Empire started and ended with live entertainment. Today the site is a parking lot. One little story. In 1956, five teenagers were arrested in the Empire for hooting and hollering while waiting to see Jailhouse Rock starring Elvis Presley. As they were being led to the clink, one of the lads was discovered to be carrying a 15 inch rubber hose. When the miscreants were hauled into court charged with disorderly conduct, the judge went easy on them. Six months probabtion, His Honor ordered, along with an admonition to 'Go straight!'"
The Theatre Historical Society of America's theatres list, compiled by CT and THS member Barry Goodkin, says that the Empire was designed by J. S. McIntyre and opened Sept. 11, 1922.
In the October 30, 1961 issue of Boxoffice Magazine, an ad was run showing how many mainstream theatres were showing Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, a subtitled Italian movie. This theatre was one of those. Link to ad, then expand:

Photos of the Empire and other New Bedford theatres can be seen in this great set:

The Empire is listed in the 1927 Film Daily Yearbook as having 1700 seats and open daily.
My father, Gilbert Hemenway, was a projectionist at many of the New Bedford area theaters, starting at the Allen Theater where he and his brother George were trained by their brother Floyd to be projectionists. In those days you had to study electronics and get a license to be a projectionist. Union contracts specified a 2-man booth, as the projection rooms were called. My father started as a ticket-taker and usher and thats how he met my mother.
In New Bedford he worked at the Empire, Capitol, New Bedford, Orpheum, Dartmouth Drive-In, and Fairhaven Drive-In. In Fall River it was the Plaza and the Embassy – and there was the Newport Theater which I cant find in the RI listings. In about 1948 when I was about 5 year old, my mother and I would go with my father to the Dartmouth Drive-In in our Chevy Coupe and I would sleep on the shelf in the back. Before I was born my father worked other theaters. One was the Keith in North Fairhaven. I miss all those theaters. With my father, I grew up in all those theaters.
Architect J. S. McIntyre's first name was James. If this house didn't open until September 11, 1922, there must have been some serious delays during construction. The April 3, 1920, issue of The American Contractor said that McIntyre was then taking bids on the Empire Theatre project in New Bedford.

My friends and I will be making appearances at Weekend 2, which means a far better weekend for us (and possibly others attending).
My friends and I will be making appearances at Weekend 2, which means a far better weekend for us (and possibly others attending).
I will be running my bubble machine overtime and dancing extra hard to ensure that any grass around me will die.
Is everyone forgetting that weekend 2 will have more time to plan out where they want to go since the schedule will be released more than 2 days before the actual concert for them?
Plus, if you really want to (I wont) you can look up and see who performed well and who was just a raging sack of shit so you'll know who to avoid and who to go see. Wish i had that kind of foresight two years ago when i thought that Perry Farrel would play some Jane's Addiction songs, or at least get on the stage with more than 20 minutes left in the show.
And also we wont have to deal with tools like this guy, quoting outdated pre-socratic philosophy and Kansas all fucking weekend long
im going weekend 1, but who cares... grass? is that why people think its gonna be better
spent last summer at glastonbury, had the best time ever, and was up to my arse in mud
come to think of it ive had very few dry festival experiences, and even fewer with anything resembling grass
I'll only be destroying lot 5 and the festival stage areas.
Plenty to go around.
In that same boat too. Wish they listened to us when we told them about the presales!
Well, if people want to be arrogant and pretentious about the weekend differences:: At least I could pay cash for my tickets instead of having to put them on layaway because I was too in debt buying a new Iphone, Ipad, and other yuppie bullshit. But I'll only say that if someone wants to challenge me on it. I honestly just wanted to go to Coachella with my best friend and enjoy a mini vacation.
Some of the headliners are only doing this festival or a handful over the three month period, all shows should be FRESH!
"But Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leaves us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!"
Well, coming from someone who went to Weekend 1 this year, I think my friends and I are going to Weekend 2 next year. For one, we're fans of the heat, and it was far too cold W1. Second, we misses some solid guest appearances that wouldn't have happened were we returning for Weekend 2. W2ers get to read all about which shows were worth seeing and can plan their days out far better.
You can't predict guest appearances. Just cuz the Keys got John Fogerty W2 this year doesn't mean ___ won't get ____ W1 next year. I think there's a certain magic that goes with the first weekend.
As far as performances, well you can't always predict quality but you can usually predict setlists from Setlist.fm. That was MAJOR help in me catching particular songs I wanted to hear this year.
I think the absence of any webcast/streaming for Weekend 2 made it much more appealing for people to experiment with guest appearances.
week 2 is so much better. Ive done both and now realize 2 is better. Guest, crowd and people.

The reason Davis had done so was because Finn had hit the stumps with his knee. It was a habit that caused controversy in the Test series against South Africa last summer, especially in the second Test at Headingley when Graeme Smith was ruled not out by the same umpire.
On the field here Cook was clearly unhappy, arguing to Davis that Finn should have received a warning before any ball was called dead.
The reason the ball is called dead is because the batsman could have been distracted by the bails being dislodged by Finn's knee.
"There was a little bit of confusion," said Cook. "Apparently we had been told that because he knocked them over twice in one of the previous games he was a 'serial offender' and that he was going to get called straight away.
"In the heat of the moment I think a few of us might have forgotten that or whether we'd been told that, I was not entirely sure. You've got to clarify these things.
"I know it's a tough job for the umpires, but it's obviously frustrating because, at that time, that wicket would've put us in a better situation than we were. So it's obviously frustrating when those little things don't go your way."
It became clear afterwards that Finn had hit the stumps twice during the first one-day international of the series in Rajkot, being warned the first time and then called the second. England coach Ashley Giles and Cook had been told that there would be no further warnings.
"I wasn't totally sure what they had told us before," said Cook, "He [Finn] did it twice in Rajkot and he was warned there, but I assumed that was just for that game. But I couldn't remember them [the umpires] telling me as a captain.
"To be fair it has been made quite clear to us, I just couldn't remember the conversation we'd had.
"But they are convinced they had it [with us] so I am going to have to take their word for it. But obviously a lot of things go through your head sometimes."

AJ is somewhat obsessed with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. She has read all the books multiple times (I must admit, they are funny) and seen the movies. So for our annual back-to-school feast, I did a spin-off and tied in our new theme for the school year: "Love one another; as I have loved you." We talked about how Jesus gives us unconditional love and that he has asked us to love other people the same way he loves us. We are also doing the "What did you do for someone today?" activity at dinner each night this year, as described in this awesome talk from a few years ago.
For the decor, I drew pictures of the family - Wimpy Kid style. I thought they turned out hilarious. Especially the drawing of Ava. I also included Uncle Paul and Aunt Jess since they come celebrate with us, and Dixie Dog. Of course my family didn't think they were as great as I did. I guess no one appreciates your hard work like yourself. ;)
I photocopied the drawings and hung them from the chandelier and used the originals as placemats.
Her little gift this year was a silly Wimpy Kid bookmark and the One Direction CD. She was giddy, and a little embarrassed. Funny how she gets all bashful when it comes to boy crushes. Isn't she supposed to be too young for that?!
The first day of school brought another test for me, as she wanted to wear the one outfit that I hated. Out of all the clothes we bought her for school, this was the only thing she really insisted on buying. Even though it killed me, I reminded myself it didn't matter and that she should be able to feel great on her first day. That was a hard one. I take a lot of pride in trying to make my kids look great, especially on special occasions. But I've moved on. (Can't you tell?) Ugggghhhh...
I am also the room-mom again for AJ's school class, and I usually try to do a little treat for the first day. But it was a bit crazy that day, so it turned into a first "week" treat on Friday. I used my Silhouette Machine and made the kids "smarty pants".

|Apple to replace iPhone home button with gestures
|By Thom Holwerda on 2017-08-30 19:19:21
Mark Gurman has a major scoop about the next iPhone:
Apple Inc. plans to transform the way people use its next high-end iPhone by eliminating the concept of a home button and making other adjustments to a flagship device that's becoming almost all screen, according to images of the new device viewed by Bloomberg News and people familiar with the gadget.
The home button is the key to the iPhone and the design hasn't changed much since it launched in 2007. Currently, users click it to return to the starting app grid that greets them multiple times a day. They hold it down to talk to the Siri digital assistant. Double click it and you get multitasking where different apps screens can be swiped through like a carousel.
Apple is preparing three new iPhones for debut next month. One of the models, a new high-end device, packs in enough changes to make it one of the biggest iPhone updates in the product's decade-long history. With a crisper screen that takes up nearly the entire front, Apple has tested the complete removal of the home button - even a digital one - in favor of new gesture controls for tasks like going to the main app grid and opening multitasking, according to the people and the images.
I don't really dwell too much on iPhone rumours, but this one is an exception because one, it's about a major change to the core user interaction model of iOS and the iPhone, and two, I happen to know this rumour happens to be accurate.
The removal of the home button and replacing it with what is effectively a gesture area is probably the single-biggest user interface change in iOS since the day it was released, and it also happens to be yet another step in the enduring quest Android and iOS are on to become more like webOS. Steven-Troughton-Smith (go support his work!) showed a number of mockups to give a better idea of what it's going to look like.
Replacing the iconic home button with a gesture area is actually a pretty fundamental shift in the interaction model of iOS. It seems to indicate that Apple is confident enough that users are well-versed in touch interfaces enough to start "hiding" important, crucial interactions - like going back to the homescreen - behind gestures that are clearly less discoverable than that huge home button. Google did something similar - but far less consequential - by removing the "drawer" button in Android's dock with a swipe-up gesture.
If this trend persists, it would seem Apple's (and to a lesser extent, Google's) engineers think that the touch paradigm is old and established enough to be more abstract, which opens up a whole slew of other possibilities. Up until now, undiscoverable gestures were generally used for more power-user oriented interactions, but with this next iPhone, they will be used for basic, cornerstone iOS interactions.

Consumers want to shop local. They want to support their communities and their neighbors' businesses. Moms and dads truly want to keep their hard-earned dollars in their hometowns whenever possible. Small Business Saturday has 3.3 million likes on Facebook. At the very least, people like the concept of supporting their local retailers.
"Sure, Jackie, easy for you to say. Show me the business." Of course there are obstacles. If you're not seeing the sales levels you'd like, ask yourself why. I believe one of the main reasons has to do with awareness and remaining top of mind with your community. Even if you are doing the mailings, coupon booklets, and Penny Saver ads, that may not be enough. You need to reach moms where they are spending their precious free moments of the day and, for many, that place is online, on social media.
My community has a group for local moms on Facebook (dads are welcome, but remain in the minority). It has more than 5,000 members who live in my town and actively seek advice from the group on everything from parenting to what to do with kids locally to where to eat and shop for various things. I've noticed that when the topic turns to toys, the first place group members recommend is Fun Stuff Toys, a local toy retailer in Seaford, N.Y. that caters to the community. If your community has a group like this, I urge you to join—not to constantly promote your shop (no one will appreciate that), but to be an active member of your community and a trusted source of information when the conversation naturally (and no doubt frequently) turns to "What toy should I buy for a child's birthday party?" and "What should I do with my kids this Saturday?" You will remain top of mind for busy parents who may just need that frequent reminder that you are the best source for toys in your community. Once you have their support and awareness, loyalty to your store and all that you offer should come easy.
This column was published in the February issue of The Toy Book. Check back regularly for more toy industry commentary from Jackie. Views expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Toy Book as a whole. We hope that you will share your comments and feedback below. Until next time!

How Canada Handles Lottery Winnings
Most times when we Canadians here about record breaking lottery winnings it is by an American citizen with takings of $300+ million. And we also know they were taxed on those winnings. The U.S. taxes lottery winnings. However, in Canada winnings are 100% tax free!
If a Canadian is fortunate enough to win a national lottery the funds are handed over as cash with no tax burden of any kind. But there's a catch. Although gambling, wagering, and lottery winnings are indeed tax-free in Canada you are subject to be taxed if the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) deems you are in the business of gambling. Being in the business of gambling removes a certain element of chance and so must be taxed.
But with such a generous gift by the Canadian government one can't help but think they are losing untold amounts of revenue by not taxing lottery/gambling winnings. A growing debate has always swirled around this topic and the government has tried on several occasions to calculate the amount of revenue from all types of winnings but has always fallen short because they could never conclusively figure out what that total number was. And then there is the complexity of how to deal with tax deductions. If they are to tax lottery winnings and gambling profits then surely one should receive some form of tax deduction for the costs incurred to earn such income (e.g., the cost of buying a lottery ticket).
Debt-ridden provinces like Ontario even tried unsuccessfully in looking towards taxing such winnings back in 2004. Although the federal government agreed to never re-enter the gaming/betting field again some 25 years ago in exchange for continuing to receive payments from provinces it is actually quite amazing that no province has yet to charge taxes on its own provincial lotteries. The idea of never being taxed on winnings has seeped so deeply into the Canadian consciousness that doing so now would be suicidal to an elected official's career.
So as a smart investor always be aware that any winnings you may from a Canadian lottery or gambling system is not taxable; so you do not need to report it on your personal income tax forms. One of the benefits of being Canadian.

(WACH) -- If you think young people aren't fond of Christmas music, think again.
A recent Nielsen study found music lovers between the ages of 18 and 34 now account for 36 percent of holiday music fans.
That's more than 40 percent larger than the corresponding pool of baby boomers who enjoy Christmas music.
Nielsen describes people 55 and older as "boomers and beyond" and they make up only a quarter of the holiday fan base.
The boomers and beyond group falls behind the 31 percent who belong to Generation X -- ages 35 to 54.
Survey organizers say having millennials as the generation that most-loves Christmas jingles is noteworthy since eight of the top 10 holiday songs played on the radio during the Christmas season last year were released between 1944 and 1970 - Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad."

While it's unknown when they spawn (I've heard every six hours or so, but I'm not sure), a troupe of faerie dragons slowly flies to this mushroom ring and begins to sing.
Tendrils of golden light flow and meet in the center of the circle, while ethereal music notes float all around. A beautiful little piece of music accompanies all of this, lasting about two and a half minutes. The infected animals of the Whispering Forest even come around to witness the performance. After they're done, the dragons leave and despawn.

Help!, I can't compile kde pwmanager on my PC

after being waiting for an answer in the Linux issues subforum, I've decided to post in this subforum my question:
Hi, I've used OpenBsd in many occassions, and now I want to return again to it, having seen that a lot of people have interest on OpenBSD, and Developers are doing a great work, with big respect to the Zaurus Community.
So I get the last snapshot in my home PC first.
I want to be able to use in my desktop the common apps that I use in my zaurus daily.
So I start to set up the environment to compile the apps from source, in order to get Kde pwmanager (there's no port or package for it).
The first issue appears when compiling qt-x11, because pwmanager wants a specific version, and also because OpenBSD puts libraries in a different dir than Linux does.
After setting the QTDIR in .profile, i was able to successfully compile QT.
When I back to compile Kde pwmanager, the ./configure complains about the system doesn't have nor libjpeg6b neither libbzip2 installed, and then stops with a warning of "fatal error can't configure". (bzip2 version is 1.0.4)
These libraries are installed from their sources.
I don't understand why ./configure doesn't find them. I'm care about that such a case may repeat with other compilation and other libraries.
Any OpenBSD user could tell me if this is an isolated issue, or something general that needs to be configured in a different way?
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

You could try specifying the directories where the Bzip2 and jpeg libs are with the LDFLAG, or whatever flag it is. That has worked for me in the past.
Never used BSD, though, so YMMV.

I have used that option without succes by doing ldconfig, but not while configuring. I'll read again the INSTALL files, anyway.
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep trying.
