I thought the Citadel DLC was fun for the most part. Spoiler: Highlights and other thoughts "Do I really sound like that?" "You used me as bait?" Wrex - I know he can't be a permanent squad member, but it's a shame about that. The Tali/Traynor/Edi conversation The comments about the Shepdance Kasumi is weird. Javik is still an ass - but fun For the brief parts it happened, it was good to have the full gang in the field
Loved it! I cracked up multiple times. "'I should go'... does that sound like me?" "Yeah, pretty much." "Hmm... I should go... I should go." So many other moments that I can't remember them all, but that was the best of all.
I loved the bit where you go to get Grunt out of trouble and he's recanting what had happened. The bit where he flys past the window in the Presidium - literally Also liked the last lines; FemShep: "I love you Grunt" Grunt: <Beavis mode> "Heh heh heh......" </Beavis mode> Brilliant!
/\ That was another good moment. Did anyone come across a mention of Legion? I don't recall ever seeing or hearing anything about it. At least Mordin got a nice send off with that datapad you find after the party. Also, does Chakwas show up if you decide to keep her with the Normandy?
I love the new Citadel DLC. The action part is really fun and interesting. Also, it's awesome that your apartment is in Tiberius Towers. That's clearly a Trek reference. But the best part is Glyph with a fucking bow tie.
I wondered about that too, but as far as I can tell, no, there's nothing about Legion. A pity considering both Mordin and Thane got a little something extra (even more so if your femshep romanced Thane.) Indeed, I was kind of hoping for a "toast to absent friends" scene in there somewhere. But I suppose given all the different permutations that would be a little impractical. I also wish they didn't tease us with yet another poker table we don't get to use! Oh and while the new armour set you can win is nice, why did it have to be Cerberus armour *again*!? That's three. Why no Spectre armour? Hell, I would have been happy they used the same Alliance version as Ashley, Liara and Brooks wore. A set of the same armour the "villain" wore would have been nice too.
That was, without a doubt, the very best DLC for the entire series. Hell, I'd say it's some of the very best content of the entire series and serves as a perfectly wonderful tribute to all these characters we've grown to love. Sooo, so much humor, callbacks, some hard fights and a fun lighthearted mission. And the Lancer is absolutely my favorite gun now. But the highlight, of course, was all the character work and all the brilliant little moments that are too numerous to mention. I've only done it with one character so far, a Shep/Miranda playthrough and considering how little she got to figure in the rest of the game I was especially touched by her scenes. Hard to try and pick a funniest one, but I might have laughed out loud the most for Grunt's birthday party. And Jaavik the movie star. Kasumi's random appearances throughout the party were a hoot too. Oh, and Traynor/EDI? I. died. Most touching (aside from the romance scenes) would probably have to be either Liara's piano or Mordin's datapad. Hilarious and then "Will stick to patter songs from now on." Or maybe Thane's memorial, I got a bit choked up there too. And you gotta love Jack's continued growth. So many wonderful moments! Really, there's almost nothing I have complaints about.
Despite my expectations, ME3: Citadel was amazing. The adventure was fun, exciting, and filled with good moments, and the character scenes and party were just an absolute joy. It was a wonderful fond farewell to the franchise, and I'm happy it's here. Frankly, it feels like a much better farewell than the ending itself. I guess this is what happens when you have an actual writing team do a finale instead of a producer/hack writer doing one, huh?
I thought that the whole party section was inspired. Such a simple concept but what a great way to see the characters in their interactive element for one last time. The banter, the humour, the character-writing was absolutely oozing in class. From Garrus and Zaeed obsessing over the home defense in Shep's apartment to Joker ripping the p1ss out of Cerberus in front of Miranda and Jacob, to the whole EDI/Tali/Traynor conversation (or the Joker/Traynor convo in the alternate party) - it was all utterly superb. And that final scene......gulp. Goodbye Normandy
It took a second for the penny to drop with me, that this was the end of the DLC, the end of ME3, the end of Shepard's story, and likely the last time we'll see this great group of characters. Although narratively this doesn't go at the end (although you can make it so if you really want), emotionally it IS the end. Lump-in-the-throat time with that scene when that dawned on me. Take my hat off to BW for this DLC - prior to it, I thought the ending made the game practically irretrievable, for me at least. The Citadel content though reminds me of what BW is capable of when it brings its A-game to the table, and gives you a great chance to draw an emotional close to the series that the game's ending didn't actually give me. Bravo BW.
Another couple of scenes I enjoyed Spoiler: Extra The attempt to break Grunt out of hospital and all that follows. Playing fetch with a frying pan - and Shep going head over heels. Traynor's habit of borrowing Sheps shower/hot-tub Beating Jacob at the arcades (You couldn't just give me one?) The Normandy scene at the end Joker after the comment that Shep would dance with EDI (It didn't help that Shep just stands there, arms folded and generally looking not amused I like the Lancer, but it feels too overpowered. I replayed London with that and everything was going down easily
If you're playing as a Lv60 character by that point (which you should if you have imported from ME2 & done most of the DLCs) then everything goes down easy. At that point, even on "insanity" difficultly there isn't that much of a challenge. But yeah, the Lancer still packs a wallop.
Hahaha! Too bad I didn't keep the party low-key in my playthrough, then I could have gotten this scene... [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmDEXBJqeLA[/yt] Shepard. Grunt. Shepard. Wrex. Can that even be considered a conversation?!
Grunt is great in the DLC; Spoiler: Grunt's Antics The recanting of his birthday had me in stitches, especially when he flies past the hospital window. At the party he's great as the bouncer - "No.........NO!", and then there's the drunk in the shower scene, and if you play the party the other way you get the "Shepard......Grunt.....Shepard.....Grunt" scene. BW have posted up the Citadel soundtrack for free as a thank you to fans; Citadel OST
Presuming I'm actually any good at the game. I'm not sure what level my Shep is at off hand but for the one who has gone through the citadel, I guess she'd be around that mark ME1 + bring down the Sky main missions completed ME2 (all dlc and except for Firewalker all missions complete) ME3 (completed - then New Game+ with all the DLC in). For the party, I started off loud and just got louder so I missed the Shep/Grunt/Wrex conversation @Angel4576 - Just got the soundtrack too. Thanks for the info
I missed the Shep/Grunt/Wrex convo because I was trying to be too clever when I gibbed the save file. In a game where I successfully sabotaged the genophage cure and got away with it originally, I went back in and switched Wrex to being alive, completely forgetting that Wrex is smarter than Wreave, and thus figures out your deception. Confrontation ensued, Wrex dead. Doh! I could do it again, but I also missed Kasumi so I need to go back and do things again anyway. I'll get Wrex to the party in that game I think.

Metty Christmas!
I'm going to miss Jerry. I have to be honest, Terry Collins is not an easy face to draw.
But I should be ready by spring training.
Have a Happy Holiday!
Peace n Love

Jerry was great for a laugh in an otherwise gloomy season for the mets...
He was...uh.. so..uh...Mockable....
He was an okay manager (did some questionable things sometimes, but hindsight is 20/20). I wish him the best.
You'll get Terry down no doubt - Your Amar'e on the knicks blog is incredible!
Happy Holidays/New Years! Mr Petruccio,
I'm an old Brooklyn native, and I take great pride (is that an odd thing to say?) in the art you do, representing the Mets and the Brooklyn spirit in sports and music (is that your intention or my superimposition?)
But to make a long story short I've only recently discovered your work, and your contribution to Mets history vis a vis the uni, and in honor of that, I've newly purchased a 1987 Mets jersey from Michell & Ness. Hey .... maybe you'll autograph it for me?Hey Greg!
Thanks for the kind words about my work. I do take pride in growing up a Mets fan and in Being a Brooklyn Native.
Wow! What a cool purchase. An '87 Jersey!
I'd love to autograph it for you. We should figure out how so shipping it back and forth doesn't cost more than the shirt. LOL
If you're ever in NYC, perhaps we could meet up one day.
Peace and Happy New Year
JoeMr. Petruccio,
Please forgive me, I know this is a Mets' blog but I need you to hear me for a minute!
I have recently discovered your art by hitting auctions for the Hard Rock Park memorabilia. I've successfully compiled a complete set of your "Rocksie" art... framed with collectible pin. Kudos for your work... I would like to have seen more, if it weren't for the park's demise!
Would you please add those sketches to your homepage... under "Rock Angels?" And tell me how I could get a print of Led Zeppelin? (My #1 favorite band for over 30 years)
p.s. Don't hate-on-me 'cuz I'm from Houston. I'll pull for the Mets anytime... but never the Yankees!- AnonymousFebruary 1, 2011 at 2:23 AM
Hey Joe,
Thanks for the memories! Just two weeks away from Pitchers, Catchers and Artist reporting! Pencil us for a few good wins; and, with any luck we can erase those meddlesome Wilpons too - LOL!
Dean - OriginalLadyMetMarch 20, 2011 at 5:30 PM
So much of last season was both a blur and a bother...but, as Met fans, we're conditioned to withstand anything. It was ALWAYS a JOY, though, even after many acrapola-fest to see your artistic interpretation of, well, crap!
I printed out my favorites, hope no copywrite infringement: AUGUST 4th, 2010, in a sloppy 8-3 loss to the Braves @ Turner Field= MEET THE MESS...priceless. They are our mess, so we can say it with LOVE! Have agreat 2011 Season...for YOU & our Lads! Keep 'em comin'-hope you will need a lot of Happy Orange colors! burberry scarf

Gonzalez is the owner of MEDwheels, a company that provides orthotics, wheelchairs, vehicle lifts and home health equipment so that patients can get moving. To accomplish this, Gonzalez relies on service—and the right staff.
"It's having a staff that cares," Gonzalez said. "It's having a staff that doesn't just come to work and look at it as a job. They understand that we are in people's lives because of some medical condition. It's an understanding of the value that we can bring into their lives to make them better."
Gonzalez, who always wanted to start her own business, got her chance as a secondary creator of MEDwheels, in partnership with her brother and sister-in-law. Six years later, the company primarily services veterans and senior citizens with health issues such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and cancer.
Many patients appreciate the sincerity of MEDwheels. One client left a competing medical mobility company in favor of Gonzalez and her associates' great service. Another feisty patient uses the MEDwheels lot as her own personal drive-through, pulling up and honking the horn until Gonzalez hustles out to take care of her.
"Those are the moments that set us apart," said Gonzalez with a smile. "We provide a very important contribution to our community."

What They Say:
"Like so many great foods, the success of John's pizza comes down to the simplicity of using good ingredients. The tomato sauce is thick, rich, tastes like real tomatoes and is very good. Whole fresh basil leaves are used if you order basil, fresh chopped garlic goes on with a generous hand if you choose garlic, and because the ingredients are so solid, even the basic cheese is exceptional with no toppings at all. This is some of the finest pizza you can get in New York — or anywhere." USA Today
Recent Awards
Featured In
"Not to be confused with the chain in Times Square, John's Pizzeria in Greenwich Village is a little time capsule of the neighborhood's ramshackle bohemian past. The awning proudly displays a longstanding history: "since 1929," and this brick oven joint has no plans of leaving. Sold by the pie with a focus on fresh and simple ingredients, bring a few friends..." 278 Bleecker Street
http://www.travelmag.com/articles/best-pizza-joints-in-nyc/ |
"Beyond the salty, greasy cheese and heavily charcoal-kissed crust, it's the piquancy of John's sauce that remains the most remarkable thing about the offerings at this standard-bearer in the NYC pizza pantheon. Opened in 1929, John's famously eschews the trappings of traditional pizza parlors opting for table service over a slice counter. Selling pizza exclusively by the pie coupled with the restaurant's storied history accounts for the lines, but once you're inside, it's well worth the price of admission for the pizza as much as for the atmosphere. With its faded murals and deeply worn wooden booths, the place is a museum."

Ratings for Dr. Chaman Chahal
Makes a great first impression and seems to listen but it ends there. Offered very little support and treatment options
I'm appalled at some of the negative reviews people are writing. So not true.. Dr. Chahal is the most competent neurologist in the lower mainland that I have come across. His approach and listening skills are exceptionally phenomenal. Very caring, down to earth, very hard to find such a qualified intelligent Doctor. He is very informative and explains everything in a professional manner .He is very kind and helpful, I would highly recommend Dr.Chahal...
Quite the first impression this guy makes: Late, abusively rude, and clueless. To see someone that young and inexperienced be so intolerant of their patients' humanity was absolutely horrifying. A pathetic excuse for a doctor.
See someone else. I waited 3 months to see him and have been waiting another 4 months for the test results. I have called and been promised the results but still waiting. He should hire an assistant for the money he is being paid.
Dr Chahal was very friendly, pleasant and helpful. He did an extensive examination to assess my issue, and provided excellent explanations of the relevant medical terms. If I need to see a neurologist again I will definitely try to see Dr. Chahal.
Not the friendliest of people and he doesn't really seem to know what he's talking about. Reacted quite negatively, reminiscent perhaps of a petulant teenager, when I politely suggested that he might be missing something. Honestly, it was a little embarrassing to watch. Nevertheless, he did order the tests that I wanted, so it wasn't a complete waste of my time. Won't be going back though, that's for sure. Also, the receptionists appear to have nothing but contempt for the patients, which was a bit shocking.
Worst doctor I have ever seen. Atrocious bedside manners and no empathy whatsoever. His clinical competency is grossly suspect, which makes his in-your-face arrogance particularly hard to stomach. Just awful.
Exceptional bed-side manners and very knowledgeable. Took his time to listen and explain the diagnosis and next steps.
Kept me waiting for more than an hour. When I finally got in to see him, he wasn't interested in listening to what I had to say and kept interrupting me. Unbelievably rude and dismissive. He told me that everything I was experiencing was "normal" (subsequent MRIs have overwhelmingly proven that to be false) and acted as if I was wasting his time for suggesting otherwise. A truly horrible doctor, in every way imaginable. I felt so much worse after seeing him, which I honestly didn't think was possible. Please avoid him at all costs.
Doctor Chahal was the neurologist I was referred to after experiencing mysterious symptoms and going to emergency rooms several times in a short time. He very quickly tackled my problems doing a number of tests, keeping me informed along the way. Although the source of my troubles has not been diagnosed, I have confidence that Dr. Chahal is doing everything possible to discover the problem. Perhaps the best thing about this doctor is his excellent bedside manner and the fact that he does not 'talk down' to me, but realizes that I am well-informed about my body and human physiology generally. I highly recommend Doctor Chahal.

We introduce a computer program for the dynamic and flexible management of conserved subdivided populations. Using molecular marker data or pedigree information, the software determines the optimal contributions (i.e., number of offspring) of each individual, the number of migrants, and the particular subpopulations involved in the exchange of individuals in order to maintain the largest level of gene diversity in the whole population with a desired control in the rate of inbreeding. Restrictions can be introduced for the total number of migrants, and the mating of particular pairs and their contribution. A full genetic diversity analysis of the population is carried out. The optimal contribution from each subpopulation to a pool of maximal gene diversity is also provided by the program.

LA LA Introduction: You need no gravel or substrate to grow Java moss. However, it will attach to bits of gravel which keep it from drifting throughout your tank Java moss attaches even better to rocks and driftwood (and plastic tubing and sponge filters). It looks like the above in the beginning.
LA Origins: Originally from Java and other Southeast Asian countries. Java moss now comes from aquatic plant farms or from friends' aquaria -- or, of course, from Aqualand. Oddly enough, the moss we ship in comes in brown and looks dead. We raise our own. It grows better in some tanks than others.
LA Suggestions: If you want faster growth, fluff up your moss to let more light get to it. If you want to colonize a rock or piece of wood, lash your moss to your decor item with fishing line or rubber bands. You can also staple it to your wood. Not practical on rocks. Java moss looks best as an inch-thick growth on your wood. Personal opinion. Fertilizers: When you fertilize Java moss, you get faster growth and greener growth. Your fish provide plenty of fertilizer most of the time. LA LA Water Flow: Java moss loves moving water. Put some in your outdoor pond waterfall spillway. It grows unbelievably well in spillways -- becoming almost a terrestrial plant. Check the flow of water in your aquarium. Its love of fast moving water can plug your filter. When the strands get sucked into a power filter, they tend to wrap around your impellor and impede or even stop it. LA LA Dirty Moss: In tanks with inadequate filtration, digested food and other detritus can accumulate in your Java moss. Solution? Clean your tank, you lazy turkey. Seriously tho, you can vacuum it with a slow gravel cleaner or take it out and rinse it lightly in the sink. LA Terrarium/Paludarium/Frog Tank: Any terrarium with a drip system or waterfall could probably carpet a wall or floor with Java moss. Since it grows emersed. This stuff makes a perfect anole waterer on an anole tank wall. Java moss works as well as misting and definitely looks better. Staple it to strips of plastic window screen. Make sure it reaches a continuous water source. LA Lighting: Medium level lighting
encourages Java moss to grow fast -- possibly so fast you need to thin it
out. After all, you want your fish to swim around your tank -- not
stay in one place. Killifish Tanks. Many killie keepers use Java moss as an egg-laying site. Java moss pulls fish wastes out of their water. It also grows in the low light small aquaria many killie keepers maintain. You still need to make water changes, however. To make a killifish spawning mop out of Java moss:
LA Tetras/Barbs/Danios: Java moss makes a perfect egg-laying site for these minnows. Ditto goldfish, a much larger minnow. All the Livebearers: Newly born livebearers elude their hungry parents by hiding in the Java moss. Lots of tiny edible critters also live in the moss. Much better baby saver than hornwort. Also way better for the mommas than those miniscule breeding traps. LA Water: Java moss grows just fine in LA Brackish Water: Some
fishes (mollies, archers, bumblebee gobies, puffers, morays, etc.) require
extra salt. Java moss grows
just fine in brackish water. LA Reproduction: Many plants reproduce by root division. Java moss reproduces by dividing up your current moss colony and spreading it from tank to tank. LA LA LA LA Willow
Moss: Oft times you see this name used synonymously with Java
moss. The two are actually different but are both so often used
interchangeably, that you may never know which is which. Does it
matter? Several species of both exist to further confuse the issue.
Willow moss grows in cooler water. Java moss grows in warmer water. Last Word: Java moss thrives under less than perfect
conditions. It grows best in medium
light. And, once you add it to a tank, it is not always easy to get
rid of. Under different conditions, Java moss grows differently. LA.

I just thought you would like to see what i have done with java moss. It has been set up for three years now and is stocked with numerous guppies and a plecostomus. I never fertilise nor put any co2 into it and i change the water once a month and trim the moss once it fills half the aquarium (quite the sight to see) JV A: Looks like the baby guppies have plenty of places to hide. Java moss makes a great security site for small fish. LA

What is the subject of the verb "had ... heard"? My 1st thought was that it is "I", except that makes little sense in this context, i.e., "had ... heard" is meant to be part of the "who" clause. If the former, then I have no comment. If, as I believe, it is the latter, so it is the "guy who has been running the clothing store" who "has never heard" ... then I do have a comment.
To wit, if the store is J. Crew or something along those lines, I am not surprised. On the other hand, if it is Loehmann's, he clearly does not know his market. - 1:46 PM

Like a flypaper catching winged insects, the Yiddish language picked up foreign words that stuck to it as it traveled. Shmateh (my transliterative spelling) was and most certainly still is a Polish word meaning rag.
Homework assignment: Go rent if you can "Knife in the Water," Jerzy Kosinki's movie. Look at the boat scene where the boat owner tosses a rag to his male passenger and tells him to clean up. As he tosses the rag, he says,"shmateh!: You think he thinks he's speaking Yiddish, maybe?
Let me answer that for you. No.

UPDATE 1-Saudi Arabia sweetens huge Aramco IPO with tax cut
* Tax cut brings Aramco in line with global standards -CEO (Recasts with implications for Aramco IPO)
SAN FRANCISCO, March 18 Pandora Media Inc will increase fees for its ad-free service by $1 a month to almost $5 a month in May, a move to cover the rising cost of licensing tunes that may annoy some longtime fans of the popular music-streaming service.
The company, which streams music from virtual radio stations to mobile devices such as Apple Inc's iPhone or Google Android smartphones, said in a Tuesday blogpost that royalties paid to artists had risen 53 percent over the past five years and will rise another 9 percent in 2015.
The increase of $1 to $4.99 a month takes effect for new subscribers in May. Existing monthly subscribers will not be forced to accept the higher charges for now, it said without elaborating.
Annual subscriptions will be discontinued however. Yearly subscribers paying $36 a year currently will move to a monthly, "loyalty" $3.99 plan once their memberships expire.
Pandora said the fee hikes should affect an estimated 3.3 million listeners, out of 250 million registered users, the bulk of whom tune in to the free, ad-supported service.
"The costs of delivering this service have grown considerably," Pandora said in a blogpost on Tuesday. "We hope that you understand why we have taken these steps. Our goal is to continue to be your go-to internet radio destination."
Pandora is already one of the world's most popular streaming music services though it has plenty of competitors, including Spotify and Apple Inc's iTunesRadio. It's also aggressively investing in local salesforces to sell ad spots and on expanding its four-year-old service.
The company said that active listeners in January fell to 73.4 million from 76.2 million in December, due to normal seasonality.
However, year-over-year active users were up 12 percent.

The Canaries have released a statement confirming that they have made complaints about separate incidents in which Sebastien Bassong was the subject of abuse
Police have been investigating two incidents involving abusive messages sent to the Cameroonian immediately after the Everton game on 24 November.
Two further incidents have now also been reported, as Bassong was the subject of racist abuse from a fan who was subsequently arrested at the Liberty Stadium during the Canaries' clash with Swansea on Saturday and then received another offensive message on Twitter after the match.
In a statement released by the club, it was reiterated that they will punish any individuals found guilty to the full extent of the law.
"Norwich City regrets to confirm four separate cases involving actual or alleged racist abuse aimed at our defender Sebastien Bassong have been reported to police in the last two weeks," the statement read.
"Following a complaint made by Sebastien to referee Howard Webb during last Saturday's 4-3 Barclays Premier League win at Swansea, a man in the home section of the crowd was arrested and later charged in relation to alleged racist abuse.
"We would like to thank both Swansea City FC and South Wales Police for their swift and effective handling of this unfortunate incident.
"In the evening following the match a tweet containing racist abuse was sent to Sebastien's twitter account. We have this morning passed details of this incident on to Norfolk Police for them to investigate.
"Meanwhile Norfolk Police are in the process of investigating two further separate racist tweets about Sebastien sent following our 1-1 draw at Everton on Saturday, November 24.
"Sebastien Bassong is a fantastic athlete and professional who we are proud to have on board at Norwich City. It is deeply disappointing that his recent excellent performances for the Club should be tarnished by these incidents.
"Norwich City Football Club wish to reiterate that we have a zero tolerance stance on racism and will pursue these and any other examples of discrimination aimed at any of our colleagues to the fullest extent of the law."

The Night out
Author's infos
Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Sat 31st of October 2009
A night of servitude leads to relief
That night we were at Jarrod's favourite restaurant. Only we were joined
by a new couple I had never been out for dinner with before. His name was
Luke and his fianc?as Gemma.They were both 23 and striking blondes. So
Jarrod was with Naomi and Luke and Gemma all sitting at the table and I was
of course under the table licking shoes clean as I always did when we went
out. I crawl under the table and clean any shoes with my toungue.I made
sure I did a good job I was on a promise but more of that later. I heard
Gemma say "I should warn you. I think I stepped in some dogshit" Jarrod
just laughed and said "That's fine. That's his favourite. Isn't that
right bitch?" "Oh yes sir "I quickly replied going back to my duties. The
waiter came and served the meals. He handed each person their meals and
said "I also have some Fettuccini in a dogs bowl Jarrod pointed "For the
bitch under the table and could you bring another dog bowl with water in it
please?" The waiter put the dish under the table and I thanked him .He just
sneered at me and went to get the water and returned and looked at me
lapping up the pasta. I thanked him again and drank deeply. The four
finished their meal and then yanking on my leash told me we were going and
Jarrod led me out of the restaurant on all fours as people laughed at me.
It was my job then to hop into the dog cage in the back of the station
wagon while Jarrod and Naomi sat in the front and Luke and Gemma in the
backseat. "I'm not sure about this" Gemma said as we got close to home.
"Hey don't worry" Naomi said "You'll have the time of your life" "But Luke
and I have never done it in front of others "Gemma protested As we pulled
into the driveway Jarrod said "Look we won't be watching you and the dog is
just there to use. Okay?" They all got out and Jarrod opened the boot and
I got out and Jarrod led me to the front porch and then took the leash off
and I stood and the five of us walked into the house. As soon as we got
inside we headed straight for the main bedroom that held the king sized
bed. I knew my job and so I smiled at Gemma and slowly unzipped her dress
which I took off and hung on a hanger She was wearing a brown bra and
panties I removed her bra and revealed a pair of beautiful shaped pert
breasts that made me gasp and made the others laugh .I then removed her
panties and she had a hairless pussy.I asked her to lie on the bed and open
her legs. It was my job to just get her wet for Luke. I use my tongue for
that gently licking her and waiting for the sign that she was prepared.
She tasted so good and before long she was ready for penetration .I
remained on my knees and turned towards Luke who was just standing there in
a pair of gold coloured briefs. From the bulge at the front it was obvious
that watching Gemma being licked had turned him on .I removed his briefs
and his cock sprung out at me It was fully hard but it didn't matter my job
was to lubricate it So after kissing it on the head I took it in my mouth
and began to suck it .I was only allowed to get it wet so penetration would
be easy so it wasn't long before I stopped. Luke walked over to Gemma and
started to lie on top. My job then was to position his cock into her pussy
and he started to fuck her. I was then to turn my attention to Naomi.
Naomi was a striking brunette with a gorgeous body. I removed her dress
and hung it up and as usual that was all the undressing she needed. She
lay on the bed next to the couple already fucking and my tongue went to
work on her pussy. She was not shaven but her pussy hair was clipped .I
know I did it and I licked her pussy until she said "enough". I moved away
and turned still on my knees towards Jarrod .He was naked and his cock
stood erect. He smiled as I shuffled over to him on my knees. "You're
doing well boy "he said "think you will be rewarded" I held his cock and
licked the piss slit then opened wide put as much of his shaft in my mouth
as I could. He was about the same length as his friend Luke but much
thicker. I got him nice and wet and then as I always did held his cock in
my hand and led him over to the bed and he got on top of Naomi's gorgeous
body. Luke and Gemma were going hard at .I guided Jarrod's cock into Naomi
and then moved away and began to take my clothes off. As I undressed I
watched the two young men ploughing into two beautiful women. I finished
undressing and pulled up my chair and sat and watched the young couple as
they fucked.Luke was sweating and I watched the sweat dripping off his
large balls onto Gemma .Jarrod had begun with long slow strokes driving his
cock deep into Naomi's twitching cunt.I notice Luke was moving quicker and
I knew that I would need to start work again. Gemma was panting and
moaning loudly .Luke shouted that he was coming and emptied his wad into
Gemma's pussy.Jarrod kept going and after he rested Luke stood up telling
Gemma to stay there. I immediately headed back to my spot between Gemma's
legs and started to lick all the cum out that Luke had put there .I lapped
it all up as Gemma squired and wriggled .I was just finishing up when Gemma
moaned and came as my tongue was inside her so I continued to lick. Gemma
lay there listening to Naomi moaning as Jarrod fucked her. She came before
he did and he came hard inside her. They lay together and I turned my
attention to Luke's glistening cock and licked it clean of all pussy juice
and cum.He put his hand on my head and said "Good boy" Meanwhile Jarrod had
started grunting and I knew what that meant .It meant that Naomi's pussy
was going to be filled with hot cum.Sure enough Jarrod yelled out and
emptied his balls into Naomi. I slowly made my way over waiting for Jarrod
to stand but instead he rolled off and was position between Naomi and Gemma
.His cock covered in juice he instructed me to clean him off first. This I
did with relish enjoying the taste of cock and pussy juices and licking him
clean. When I had done this I moved to Naomi without instructions to do
so. I had after all cleaned her out so many times. My tongue went in and
out coated with all the juices .I swallowed Jarrod's cum and her juices and
when I had done I knelt quietly awaiting instructions. Jarrod told me to
stand and for the first time Gemma saw my cock. "That's got to be the
tiniest dick I have ever seen."She laughed "But what's that on it?" Naomi
looked and smiled "That's his chastity device. It's locked on there and
stops him masturbating unless Jarrod or I let him" Gemma took my cock in
her hand. I could feel it straining in its cage "How long since you came
"She asked "Eight weeks miss" I replied "But we told him if he was great
tonight then we would allow him to cum.But it is all up to you. We need
you to decide whether he deserves to cum"Jarrod said "Mmmm well he did very
well .He made me cum and I do feel clean. But I would like to do something
to him if he doesn't mind" "Oh miss do anything you like to me". I eagerly
said. She whispered to Naomi who nodded and the two went to the spare room
and came back with Gemma wearing a strap on dildo. "I want to fuck you" I
immediately lay on the bed with my ass in the air and before long I let out
a cry as she pushed the dildo into me .She started pumping in and out and
tell me to squeal like a girl. She grabbed my hair and told me I was a
bitch and she finally pulled out. There was a little blood on the dildo
which she ordered me to clean off. She smiled at Luke and said "I like
this. How would you feel if I put a device on you and you couldn't cum
unless I said?" Luke's face turned red and he looked at the floor.
Meanwhile I had licked the dildo clean and Naomi said "Well Gemma has he
been good enough to let cum? It's up to you." Gemma motioned for me to get
back on my knees on the floor. She sat on the bed and took my head in her
hands and looked at me, her eyes staring into my eyes. "Beg me' she hissed
"Please Miss Gemma. Let me cum I will do anything you say. Please let me
come" I whimpered. She smiled. "Christ that gets me hot "she
exclaimed"Luke, we are really going to have to look at this" Luke started
to speak but she held her hand up and he stopped. She turned her attention
back to me. "Ok boy. You can cum" "Oh thank you miss" I blurted. Naomi
came forward and took the chain off from round her neck. She also had a
dice in her hand. She handed me the dice and she told me to stand and she
moved forward and unlocked the device. My cock sprang out hard and ready.
The others laughed at it and me. Naomi said to have three rolls. I rolled
the dice on the bed and it came up 4.The second time it was a 3 and finally
a 2.Naomi explained that the numbers on the dice were added together and
that how many minutes I could masturbate for. So tonight I could have as
many orgasms as I could fit into nine minutes. Jarrod had a kitchen timer
and set it to nine. "Oh this is too much" Gemma said "Luke get on your
knees and start licking me out." Luke walked over and got on his knees and
started tonguing Gemma's pussy Jarrod pressed the button on the timer and
said "Go!"My hand started pumping my cock as Luke worked his tongue into
Gemma. His own cock had got hard as a rock. Meanwhile I was pumping hard
standing up in front of everyone. My balls were heavy and aching and in no
time at all I felt them churning. I knew I was about to cum and I looked
at Naomi and asked permission. She nodded and I began to shoot. Spurt
after spurt of cum escaped from my cock.It was an intense orgasm and made
me moan. The orgasm subsided and I rested I had used up 3 minutes of my
nine Gemma looked at me and said "You got cum on my leg" "Oh I'm so sorry I
will lick it off if you wish" I said apologetically "Oh no you get on with
your wanking.Luke will lick it off" So I grabbed my meat again and started
again. I had five minutes. Luke looked up from between his fianc? legs
"Oh no "he said "Please don't make me do that" Gemma grabbed his hair which
made him squeal and pushed his nose into my cum on her leg "Lick it bitch"
and Luke began to lick. Jarrod exclaimed one work "Fuck" He was starting
to get hard and Naomi was stroking him. I was pulling in earnest as time
was ticking by. It was a very exciting scene and I was getting a little
hard. After Luke had licked up my cum he went back to work on Gemma's
pussy.Naomi had stopped stroking Jarrod and was now sucking him off and I
was watching all of this as I pulled my little cock.Gemma was moaning
,Jarrod was too and I could hear Luke's tongue lapping. I knew that I
wasn't that far away from exploding again and then a noise shattered the
room. It was the alarm. My time was up. Naomi got up from in front of
Jarrod got the towel and wiped my little cock. "Oh please mistress.
Couldn't I have a little while longer I'm so close?" Naomi shook her head
and placed the device back on my cock and ordered me back on the floor.
Gemma reached orgasm and Jarrod who had been pulling himself while Naomi
was attending to me came. Gemma lay back on the bed and told Luke to stand
and start pulling himself. He did pulling hard and fast trying to please
her. He came on her and he was ordered t o lick off his own cum from
Gemma's body which he did. The four of them dressed pretty much in silence
and then Gemma spotted a photo and nearly screamed. She pointed at me and
said "Naomi that's your husband" Naomi smiled "That's right. He is my
husband and I love him dearly with my heart soul mind and everything except
my body. Let's face it his cock or Jarrod's it wasn't a contest. We are
just a little trio now " Gemma looked at Luke "There's going to be a few
changes in our arrangements and tomorrow we are going to do a little
shopping."She looked down at my device and smiled. They said goodbye and
as they left Luke could be heard whimpering "I thought I made you happy.
Please don't do this to me. Don't stop us having sex.Please" The car drove
away and Jarrod closed the door. "Looks like Luke is going to have a bit
of a tough time from now on. Still Gemma can always bring him over and I
will let him suck me off. Poor bugger anyway let's get some sleep"

First make the potatoes, mash them and let them dry well. Beat the egg whites very stiffly but not dry. Mix the egg yolk and capers and cream into the mash and fold in the egg whites. Form small cakes and fry in the butter until brown.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Spread each woodcock generously with butter and cover with a bacon rasher. Roast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how you like them, more if you must.
For the sauce, saute the livers in butter until just cooked, mash and press them through a fine sieve. Put the puree in a pan, thin with white wine and stock, add juniper berries, seasoning and lemon juice, and simmer for a few minutes.
Place the cooked woodcock on the potato cakes and serve with the sauce.

Whether you are working from a live model or a photograph there are some simple techniques you can use to ensure that you get an accurate likeness. Building on my last post "Five Tips to Improve Your Drawing" we will assume you have warmed up and are ready to draw.
1. Begin by taking sightings of your model or photo reference. Measure the length and width of the head with your pencil held between your thumb and index finger, your arm fully extended and elbow locked. Sketch the basic size and shape of the head.
2. Most people's features follow a few basic rules with some slight variations. Bisect the head both vertically and horizontally. The eyes will be located on the horizontal line. The distance between the eyes equals the size of one eye. You should be able to draw a straight vertical line from the outside of the nostril to the inside corner of the eye. The edge of the mouth should roughly line up with the middle of the eye. The ears generally line up with the eyebrows and bottom of the nose. Check your model against these rules to see where they differ and make those adjustments.
3. Let's say you have faithfully taken all the sightings you can think of and carefully measured and compared your model with the standard but still something is 'off' and you just can't figure out what it is. Now is a good time to take a break. Walk away from your drawing and look at it with fresh eyes later.
4. So you have walked away and come back, but are still puzzled about what to do next. Take a picture of your drawing or painting and a picture of your model. If you are using a live model make sure he/she is in exactly the pose you are drawing. Scan or upload both pictures into your computer and put them up on the screen side by side. They should be the same size. You will instantly see where you went wrong. Adjust your drawing and take another picture. This time you might notice something else you want to change. I keep taking pictures, comparing and adjusting until I'm satisfied.
I hope these portrait tips will help you to draw better, more accurate likenesses. Please feel free to comment and share your ideas and favorite techniques.
Four Steps to Drawing an Accurate Likeness

Back when my wife and I were still dating, we used to go to this little Mexican restaurant in Indiana. Every time we would go there, she would order the green chicken enchiladas. Their version was chicken and cheese rolled into flour tortillas and topped with a green chile sauce and sprinkled with cheese.
Once we moved away from Indiana, I decided to try making these myself. The basics of their recipe are still there, but I have added a few things that make mine different. The addition of mushrooms, garlic, and green chiles to the filling definitely raises the flavor to a whole new level. To make the dish easier, you can use a rotisserie chicken, which will save you the step of having to cook the chicken ahead of time. Paired with refried beans and Mexican rice, this is a restaurant quality meal that you can make at home in about 40 minutes.
One additional note, the resting time after baking is extremely important. If you try to plate these too soon, they will fall apart on you, leaving your hard work all over the counter.
Green Chicken Enchiladas
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 package (8 oz) sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 can (2 oz) chopped green chiles
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
8 oz cream cheese
8 flour tortillas
2 cans (10 oz each) green enchilada sauce
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
Sour cream, if desired
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add garlic and chiles. Cook 30 seconds more.
Add chicken and stir to mix. Cut cream cheese into cubes and add to pan. Reduce heat to low and stir constantly until cheese is melted and thoroughly incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool about 5 minutes.
Pour 1/2 can of enchilada sauce into bottom of 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 1/8 of filling mixture down the center of a tortilla. Starting at one side, roll tortilla up and place in pan, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour remaining sauce over top of enchiladas. Top with shredded cheese.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, if desired.

Peugeot has announced it will return to the Dakar Rally next year with a diesel-burning off-roader dubbed 2008 DKR. The French automaker won the Dakar Rally four years in a row starting in 1987 but it hasn't participated in the event in over two decades.
The 2008 DKR draws its name from the Peugeot 2008, a compact crossover sold primarily in Europe, but it shares only vague styling cues like its headlights and its radiator grille with its regular-production counterpart. The racer is taller and wider than the 2008, it only packs two doors and it looks considerably more menacing.
The off-roader is powered by a mid-mounted 3.0-liter diesel-powered V6 engine that generates 340 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque thanks in part to two beefy turbochargers. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox.
Fielding a rear-wheel drive off-roader in the Dakar Rally is a controversial decision because most competitors' cars are equipped with all-wheel drive. However, Peugeot Sport explains two-wheel drive allows for longer suspension travel on both axles, a shorter front overhang and an overall lighter weight, attributes that the automaker hopes will help the 2008 DKR tackle even the roughest terrain South America has to offer.
Peugeot's Dakar comeback will be spearheaded by seasoned pilots Carlos Sainz, Cyril Despres, and Stéphane Peterhansel.
If the 2008 DKR takes first place in next year's Dakar, it will mark the first time a diesel-powered two-wheel drive car wins the event. However, before reaching the podium the 2008 DKR needs to fend off serious competition from the factory-backed MINI Countryman that has won the last three editions of the grueling rally.
The 2015 Dakar Rally is scheduled to kick off next January in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Bayern Munich midfielder Danijel Pranjic says he was on his way to Everton yesterday.
Everton were prepared to offer him a route out of Bayern, with David Moyes leaving it late to bolster his Goodison Park ranks.
"I was ready to board a plane and I was really happy because I knew that Everton were serious and that they had big plans for me.
"But now it is all over and this is a catastrophe. I can't describe the negative feelings I have.
"Bayern wanted so much money that everybody knew that Everton would not pay.
"I'm so unhappy because I was sure that I would be leaving Bayern. I don't play and now the opportunity to play in the Premier League has gone. I'm so unhappy.""I had an agreement with Everton for two-and-a-half years," the 30-year-old told Sportske Novosti.

What are Health Insurance Exchanges?
Today, you could shop for health insurance by contacting several insurance providers. If you are interested in getting Kaiser Permanente coverage, click affordable medical insurance. In 2014, the plan is to have you go to a single marketplace or "exchange" to shop. Imagine the convenience and time savings of going to one location to find the information you need to get medical coverage.
Health Insurance Exchanges will provide consumers a resource or tool to help them choose a medical plan. For a preview of what the tool could look like, go to HealthCare.Gov to view the "Health Insurance Finder". The resource that will be available in 2014 will be similar to the Health Insurance Finder in that it will ask general questions about your health care and budget needs. After you provide the basic information requested, your answers will bring up a list of the health plan options offered by the various insurance companies.
What will be the difference in prices and benefits in 2014?
Overall, the rates in 2014 are expected to be more competitive than they are currently. With regards to benefits: Health insurance policies will be standardized in that all will need to cover the same minimum benefits. However, carriers will continue to offer a wide array of benefit plans. The carriers will compete based on the rates and the quality of care provided by their network.
What is being done now to prepare for the Health Insurance Exchanges?
Health Insurance Exchanges will be run by the states. The federal government is working with the states to help them get their Health Insurance Exchanges in place by year 2013. As part of this effort, the government started awarding grants to the states on March 23, 2011, being the one-year anniversary of the passing of the Health Reform Law.
How Big Businesses are Responding to the Health Insurance Exchanges:
When the Health Reform Bill first passed, it was projected that in 2014, a good percentage of large companies with 50 or more employees would prefer to offer health insurance, as required by law, than pay the hefty fine for non-compliance. One year later, the prediction has changed. Now, more large groups are estimating that it is more cost-effective to pay the fine than to offer their employees health insurance. Although there is some anticipation that a greater number of large companies will be leaning towards referring their employees to the Health Insurance Exchanges in 2014, one thing is for sure: everyone is waiting for things to unfold and regulations to become better defined. Until then, only time will tell.

The republicans want to do away with the health care bill, maybe America can ask one of those poor countries that have health care for its citizens, to loan us some money, and show us how to do as they do for their people.

It's the old debate about what's better for the people, smaller or bigger government. Providing health care for the populace requires bigger government and a move away from capitalism toward socialism, but perhaps it's worth it to avoid having uninsured people in our country who can't get their medical needs taken care of. The tricky part is getting something like that in place without bankrupting our economy.

How will the Health Care Reform Law be affected by the proposed Ryan Budget proposal for the next ten years in order to balance the federal budget by 2020? If you read his proposal, there would be a huge slash of Medicare funding and will totally explode the ObamaCare Law into smithereens. and us seniors will have to fork out more money for our health care. If this happens, more seniors, who now are independently living on their own, will have to live by on welfare or help from their siblings, etc. If we want to really slash the budget of the government, let us start with the perks, pensions and benefits of lawmakers, who are the ones increasing their pay checks from time to time and retire on fat pension plans. How about that, Paul Ryan?

It's not just the seniors, I'm 48. I know close in age but, I have epilespy and can not get medications. I don't have my job any more as of March 2011 and Kaiser told me I could not even contact my neurologist in their company because I'm not an active member for the last 60 days. I lost my job and cobra is just too expensive to pay on unemployment. If I paid the cobra bill, I still wouldn't have enough for the monthly bill and to eat. I've had to move back into my mothers home. I'm thankful she has room for me. I really didn't want to apply for welfare, but I need medical and coverage for medications, but I dont qualify. So, now what to do?

Dolphins safety Reshad Jones who last season took a step toward establishing himself among the NFL's top safeties has signed a four-year contract extension with the team according to a NFL source.
The deal which locks up Jones through 2017 could be worth as much as $30 million and guarantees him $15 million.
Jones the fourth-year player out of Georgia was due to earn $1.3 million this season. He held out one day during OTAs (Organized Team Activities) during the off-season reportedly because he was upset the Dolphins hadn't made any progress with him toward an extension.
Jones one of the best tacklers on the team had a career-best 94 tackles last season to go along with a team-best four interceptions two forced fumbles and two recovered fumbles. He also had one sack.
Last year Jones showed some versatility by becoming a force as a blitzing safety and so far in training camp he's maintained that skill in coordinator Kevin Coyle's aggressive style.

A New Jersey legislative committee was rebuffed again Monday in its attempts to get answers to why thousands of train-riding football fans were stranded for hours after last month's Super Bowl, even as the committee's chairman appeared to shift some of the blame from the state's transit agency to the National Football League.
For the second time in less than a month, the NFL, New Jersey Transit and the local Super Bowl host committee declined to send representatives to the hearing sponsored by the Assembly transportation committee. A scheduled Feb. 24 hearing was canceled when those parties, including outgoing NJ Transit executive director James Weinstein, said they wouldn't attend.
Since then, Weinstein resigned and was replaced by former Turnpike Authority chief Veronique Hakim. In a letter to committee chairman John Wisniewski dated Friday, Hakim asked for "reasonable time so that I can be in a position to provide the Committee with meaningful testimony."
While Wisniewski called Weinstein's last-minute decision to skip last month's hearing "reprehensible," he questioned how much the NFL's policies played a role in what fellow committee member Assemblywoman Linda Stender likened to the "Who's On First?" comedy routine.
"We don't know because we haven't had an opportunity to hear from them," Wisniewski said. "But the testimony we heard today from individuals is that the NFL dictated many of the protocols that New Jersey Transit had to follow. They were really put into a box where they had to use only rail, they had a rail facility that only could process 12,000 to 13,000 people per hour and when they realized they had 30,000 people coming through that train station, there was no other way to fix it. I think that was unfair to New Jersey Transit and I'd like to hear from them to understand exactly what they did to try and solve that problem."
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined to comment when asked about Wisniewski's remarks or whether the league would send a representative to a future committee meeting.
About 33,000 people took the 7-mile ride between MetLife Stadium and the Secaucus rail transfer station, more than double the highest estimates made by organizers and transportation experts before the game. The overcrowding on the platform grew so severe immediately following the game that the stadium scoreboard flashed a sign asking fans to remain inside.
Weinstein said the next day that NJ Transit had 100 buses on standby in case there was a problem with the trains, but that only about 30 were deployed.
Billed as the first mass-transit Super Bowl, the game differed significantly from a standard Giants or Jets game because far fewer parking spots were available due to security considerations. The Super Bowl host committee provided roundtrip "Fan Express" buses from six locations in New York City and three in New Jersey for $51, about five times the cost of a roundtrip train ticket.
Speaking at Monday's hearing, marketing expert Ron Simoncini, who worked with several northern New Jersey towns on Super Bowl-related events, said it was unclear until the days leading up to the game how local hotel guests could get to the game, given that NFL rules prohibited anyone from walking onto the site or being dropped off by a bus or limo. Parking passes for the game cost $150, with scalpers getting upward of $300.
"A lot of things with this game seemed to be decided on the run," he said.
Sal Gentile, a senior vice president at Hartz Mountain, which owns the Harmon Meadow hotel, retail and dining complex in Secaucus, said ticket reseller StubHub provided ground transportation to and from the game for several thousand of its customers that operated smoothly, while fewer than 100 people took Fan Express buses from a designated stop in Harmon Meadow.
A spokeswoman for the host committee didn't return an email seeking comment.

Shahensha-e-Ghazal and great singing legend of Pakistan, Mehdi Hassan after a long period of ailment passed away here in Karachi on Wednesday.
Earlier a couple of days ago, ailing ghazal legend Mehdi Hassan was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of a private hospital here after suffering from multiple health problems, according to his son Arif Hassan.
Mehdi Hassan has multiple lung, chest and urinary tract ailments which were being treated by specialists.
Hassan, 84, was born into a family of traditional musicians at Luna village, Rajasthan, in 1927 before his family migrated to Pakistan after 1947.
Hassan, who has a huge following in the subcontinent, cut back on his performances in the late 80s due to illness. Considered one of the most successful ghazal singers of Pakistan, Mehdi Hasasn was trained in classical music by his father Ustad Azeem Khan and his uncle Ustad Ismail Khan who were both well respected classical musicians.
Hassan tried different styles of music and there was a time in Pakistan's film industry known as Lollywood when a production was considered incomplete without his voice.
Due to his remarkable commercial and artistic success, he was titled Shahenshah-e-Ghazal (The King of Ghazal singing). He also played the role of a cultural ambassador and visited India several times.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani expressed grief and sorrow over the said demise of legendary singer Mehdi Hussan.
Prime Minister has said that Mehdi Hassan was an icon who mesmerized the music lovers not only in Pakistan but also in the sub-continent for almost many decades.

Kevin Smith Takes on "Too-Fat-to-Fly" Airline Policies
Writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma) is still asking that question after he was booted from a Southwest Airlines flight last week for being too big. Smith, who has no problem admitting his size—"I'm fat, but I ain't that fat," he says—took to Twitter and his online podcast to go public with his story.
The misadventures of the portly Mr. Smith began on his original flight from Burbank to Oakland, for which he had purchased three tickets and ended up checking in for two. Smith admits that when flying low-cost carriers he often purchases three seats when traveling with his wife, and two when traveling solo. He claims the he does this for privacy and comfort, not because he can't fit into one seat.
Read more on this story at PeterGreenberg.com.
That booking meant Smith had two return tickets to fly from Oakland to Burbank. However, he decided to get on an earlier flight, which meant he was flying standby. All other passengers had to be boarded first, and by the time Smith was allowed to board, only one seat was available.
At the gate, the agent alerted him of potential "safety issues" on the plane. Southwest's official stance is that "customers of size" must purchase two tickets for travel. If the flight does not oversell, the additional seat purchase will be refunded; if the customer has purchased a discounted, advance-purchase ticket, the second seat will be sold at the same fare; if a customer has purchased an unrestricted full fare, the second seat is sold at a child's fare.
Smith explained to the agent he originally bought two tickets by choice, not because he can't fit into one seat, and was allowed to board. He sat down in the middle seat and, according to him, was reaching for his seat belt when the same gate agent approached him about being too large for the seat.

Game Daze: 'Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb' and 'Kung Fu Chaos' Friday, March 14, 2003 By Jonathan Silver, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
'Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb'
There we were, playing as Indiana Jones, confronting a knife-wielding henchman in an alleyway in 1930s Istanbul.
Did we go toe to toe with him wielding our machete? Crack our handy bullwhip to disarm him? Wallop him with a left hook followed by a head butt? Of course not! We simply drew our revolver and made it quick and easy.
Now that's Indy style!
Featuring combat options galore, exotic locales, a quest that rings true to the character's mythos, and a mix of third-person action, platforming and puzzle-solving, "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" (LucasArts; Xbox; $49.99; Rated Teen) is a nonstop adventure that succeeds mightily despite graphics flaws, a predictable plot and a mundane assortment of villains.
In the game, Indy is hired by a businessman to race against the Nazis and the Asian underworld to retrieve an artifact that has the power to control minds. His quest takes him to 10 unique locations around the world.
Once Indy sets out, he's drawn to Prague and its magnificent castle, a level that exemplifies the best of what the game has to offer.
Leaping over chasms only to grasp hold of a ledge by his fingertips, wriggling up and down long lengths of chain, swinging through stained-glass windows and using his whip to latch onto hooks and carry him to otherwise inaccessible spots, Indy has the run of the place.
It's a beautiful thing to espy a faraway parapet and then figure out a way to actually end up standing on it. Being able to move through the levels like that imbues "Indiana Jones" with a palpable sense of place.
Add to this the character's larger-than-life ability to clobber foes and demolish furniture (he can chop down suits of armor with his bare hands, eliciting a satisfying cymbal crash of sound) and we can forgive the fact that, even on an Xbox, the game sometimes slows or freezes. As well, in a not infrequent occurrence, Indy's body parts will actually float through walls, people and any number of objects.
Minor annoyances, though, we assure you. Get that whip cracking!
'Kung Fu Chaos'
Armed with 23 combination moves and the ability to taunt opponents so you can suck up power for a super attack, your odd-looking little character battles through each scene to the director's praise or disappointment. At the end, you watch the clip, much like in "Chase: Hollywood Stunt Driver."
In between scenes, you try your hand at mini games, such as saving stuntmen falling out of windows or leaping over spinning poles while standing atop a pillar.
We won't deny, this game is fun. But we predict it will appeal to a niche audience that enjoys button-mashing and arcade-style side-scrollers.
Once you get the hang of it there's plenty of repetition (think "Enter the Draggin' ") despite the myriad of clever levels. The characters are too small and swift for us to enjoy their martial arts moves. And we must mention another turnoff -- the nonstop droning of the director in his overwrought stereotypical Asian accent which, thankfully, can be disabled.
