Amid the confusion that engulfs DVD formats, the dual drive is making headway. Will this put an end to DVD-induced brainache?
Even Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard, loyal advocates of the DVD-R/RW and +R/RW standards respectively, have recently announced combo +/- drives for the retail market. Toshiba's Storage Device Division makes drives for its own notebooks, other PC vendors, and for retail under its own brand name and others.
"Our customers started to ask us to support both," says Maciek Brzeski, vice president of marketing.
Dual-format drives are taking over the aftermarket for upgrade products. However, if you buy a Toshiba notebook you'll get only a single format, DVD-R/RW, and not a dual-format drive. The same goes for desktop PCs from big-name vendors like Dell and Hewlett-Packard. Those companies are offering only single-format DVD+R/RW drives with their systems. Some large PC makers, on the other hand, including EMachines, Gateway, and MPC Computers, as well as smaller vendors like ABS Computer Techologies and Polywell Computers, are responding to customer demand for dual-format burners, and are including them on their systems.
Toshiba's storage division does not yet make combo +/- drives, and so told PC World that the capability is not yet in Toshiba notebooks. However, some Toshiba notebooks use drives from other manufacturers that do support combo +/- drives, and so that capability is now appearing in some models.
A simpler world?
Before Sony introduced the first +/- combo drive in September 2002, users had to pick a writable DVD technology. Once you chose a DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW drive, you could make use of only that kind of disc. (DVD-RAM was another option, but few bought that very incompatible format.)
But with one of the new combo drives, the type of disc doesn't enter into the equation. You can simply go with the cheapest media or discs from the company with the best reputation.
Does one type of media have an advantage over the other? In the all-important area of compatibility with other DVD drives and players, the answer is... it depends on who you ask. According to Toshiba's Brzeski, "You can't guarantee that a + disc will always work on an older player."
On the other hand, "We've found that +R and +RW media is more compatible," says Maureen Weber, HP's general manager of optical storage solutions.
Pioneer, which has been shipping +/- drives longer than those two companies, is less inclined to pick one format over the other. "Compatibility is quite similar" between the two standards, says Andy Parsons, senior vice president.
For the moment, +R has a speed advantage - if you have the right drive. Plextor's PX-712A, due to ship in May, will be the first 12x DVD drive, but only for DVD+R. Plextor claims the drive will write to 8x media at 12x, a necessity since 12x media isn't on the horizon).
Dual-format drives cost about the same to manufacture as the single-format varieties. They cost more to licence, however, since the company must pay for more intellectual property. Brzeski says Toshiba is building only dual drives, and partially disabling some units that it then sells as single-format models.
On the upgrade path
The switch to +/- drives is entirely market-driven--or, to be more precise, aftermarket-driven. People buy these drives to upgrade.
"On the OEM side, there's still a lot of single-format drives," says Wolfgang Schlichting, an IDC analyst. "But in the aftermarket, they fly off the shelves. The end user would rather pay a little more and get a dual-format drive."
But you can still buy a single-format drive. In fact, they're cheap and getting cheaper - a sure sign that they're on the way out. Weber says that HP will now sell only +/- drives to the retail market, even while it sticks to DVD+R/RW in its own PCs and sells only +R/RW media. For now, Toshiba plans to sell both dual- and single-format drives to retailers. But "newer drives, looking forward, should all be dual format," Brzeski adds.
The big exception will continue to be drives that come built into computers. At least with the large PC companies, these are almost all single-format. It's a very big chunk - for example, 80 to 85 per cent of HP's drives, according to Weber.
Part of this is company image. If you've been publicly stating that +R/RW (or -R/RW) is the only way to go, you may be reluctant to officially change your mind.
Price is another. Those dual licensing fees look a lot larger in the high-volume/low-margin business of selling PCs. Writing to two DVD formats is, according to IDC's Schlichting, "low on the feature list" for people buying a PC. "Comparing dual and single [format support] is not important," Schlichting adds.
Vendors have cited tech support calls as another reason they've supported only one format. In the long run, dual-format DVD drives will probably take over this market, too. "It will be hard over time to find a single-format drive," says Pioneer's Parsons.

Title: | Oral history interview with Daniel H. Pollitt, February 22, 1991 |
Date: | 1991 Feb. 22 |
Description: | This is the fifth interview in a nine-part series of interviews with civil liberties lawyer Daniel H. Pollitt. In this interview, Pollitt describes some of the academic freedom cases he became involved in through his work with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). Pollitt was an active member of the AAUP for the duration of his academic career, and during the academic year of 1968-1969, he served as the president of the AAUP at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Focusing primarily on the 1960s and 1970s, Pollitt explains that during those years he served as "sort of the unofficial council advisor to the faculty people . . . who have academic freedom problems." Pollitt briefly reflects on a case involving the dean of the dental school, but he devotes the interview to a detailed description of the cases of Michael Paull, a graduate student teaching assistant in the English Department, and Moye Freymann, the director of the Carolina Population Center (CPC). In the case of Michael Paull, who was dismissed as a teaching assistant after the national media (largely fueled by then WRAL-TV commentator Jesse Helms) misconstrued his assignment about Anthony Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress," Pollitt served as counsel to Paull as the university led an investigation leading to his eventual reinstatement. In describing the case of Moye Freymann, who was dismissed as the director of the CPC after establishing the institution in the mid-1960s, Pollitt raises questions about issues of academic freedom as they related to administrators. In both cases, Pollitt's comments reveal how issues of academic freedom unfolded at UNC during the 1960s and 1970s. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |

The Alizee concert at Le Grand Rex is only 30 days away!! October 23. Maybe there maybe an appearance between now and then, maybe. I can't wait, it will be like someone picking up the rope on the other end and pulling a little bit. The core fan group works hard, and there shall be no complaining, but it sure will be nice there is no denying that. I just can't wait to see what all you concert goers start posting right after...it will be nuts!
As Jerry McGuire said:
Help me help you. It will be a nice input of energy, just maybe we will be able to transfer some of that exposure to the unsuspecting North American public.., an LTNY blitz, a disque drop there, a blog here...it could happen.
Reading lillytown.com I was enjoying the Alizee quotes...one posted Alizee as saying: "Don't let anybody tell you, you cant do something You got a dream. You got to protect it People cant do something themselves. Then they are going to tell you, you cant do it!
You want something...Go Get It"
Now, where's that rope! push!

As any M&A practitioner will tell you, acquisition agreements can be a challenge to read and even more challenging to draft. In fact, no one ever drafts these lengthy agreements from scratch. Most often, the drafting process starts with the use of a standard form agreement with several key sections, including the structure of the transaction, price terms, representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions and termination rights, which make up the bulk of the agreement. These sections work together and interrelate with each other so that parties are in essence designing a package of rights and obligations.
To say that most agreements include the same key sections is of course not to say that the specifics don't differ or matter. In general, whichever side (generally the buyer's lawyers) gets to draft the initial agreement will use its own form agreement with provisions that it deems to be buyer or seller friendly. Form agreements, and detailed commentaries about these forms, are an invaluable tool for junior lawyers who are just beginning to learn to work with these agreements. In practice, I came across a lot of valuable commentary on form agreements, but this commentary did not always take a critical view of some of the provisions, especially the boilerplate, that were commonly used.
Since joining the academy, I have been somewhat surprised that there is not more scholarship studying in detail complex agreements. Of course, especially in the past ten years, scholars are increasingly producing insightful articles that address complex agreements (see Gordon's piece here). But, given that we as lawyers have greater expertise with contractual arrangements than those in other fields, I do hope that we will produce more cutting edge scholarship about deal terms and structures.
There is a lot of value that legal scholars can add here. Clearly the intersection of various provisions in contracts can be difficult to understand and the terms vague. For example, an interpretation of the extent to which a failure of certain closing conditions in an acquisition agreement may result in termination rights involves judgments about the interplay of these terms and knowledge about judicial precedents, or lack thereof, interpreting certain contractual terms. Moreover, assessing the extent to which parties are allocating risk by the use of certain closing and termination rights depends on a careful reading and interpretation of the intricacies of the contractual language. This can be a cumbersome process. In putting together my recent paper, I (and my fabulous research assistants) spent months looking at termination and remedies provisions in acquisition agreements and their interrelationship with other contractual provisions, such as buyer covenants regarding financing. At times, the contracts were relatively straightforward. Other times, the contracts included conflicting provisions that were hard to interpret or conflicted (such as in the infamous URI v. Cerberus case) and involved a nuanced understanding of contracting to figure out what was really going on.
Practitioners rarely have the time to conduct these types of large-scale studies of complex agreements (plus, how do you bill clients for this kind of work?). One hopes that greater scholarly study of existing contractual terms can help lawyers get away from instinctively relying on precedent and get more creative when structuring contracts.

"Intense" drought conditions are gripping parts of the UK after another month of scarce rainfall in some areas, experts said today.
The Government has declared an official state of drought in parts of eastern England after the country experienced the driest spring on record.
Farmers in drought-stricken areas have been hit with restrictions on water use, while others face controls in the next few weeks and there are fears of imminent hosepipe bans in Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
Severn Trent Water has told its customers they may face water restrictions in some parts of the region unless rainfall levels return to normal soon.
In its latest monthly summary on UK rainfall, river and water levels published today, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) said that a substantial proportion of eastern England saw less than a fifth of the normal levels of rainfall in May.
Some parts of Kent received just 4mm of rain during the last month.
While northern parts of the UK experienced "plentiful" rain last month - with Scotland recording its wettest May on record - most of it did not reach central and eastern England, compounding the previous two dry months, CEH said.
England had its driest spring in records going back 100 years, while England and Wales together had their second driest March to May in the record books.
The dry conditions have left Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, parts of Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire and western Norfolk officially suffering from drought.
In addition parts of the South West, South East, Midlands and Wales are experiencing near-drought conditions, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said.
The figures from CEH showed Cambridge received just half the previous minimum rainfall it had ever had in spring in records dating back to 1848.
The summary from CEH said intense spring drought conditions also characterised parts of Yorkshire, the East Midlands and Sussex and Kent, and that the "very arid spring" extended a deficiency in rainfall that can be traced back to December 2009.
While rain has helped rivers in northern Britain recover, others in the South West, parts of the Midlands and Wales and Kent have experienced exceptionally low flows, and waterways across southern and central England and Wales were below normal, the CEH said.
Current unsettled weather is set to continue through the weekend, but towards the end of next week south east and eastern England could return to drier, warmer conditions.
The Environment Agency said that continued dry weather would add further pressure on water resources and drought conditions may spread into central England and further east.
The agency has already asked nearly 100 farmers to stop abstracting water in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Norfolk, while 200 farmers in Suffolk face restrictions by the end of June.
And 27 farmers have also been told they will have to stop abstracting water by June 20 in the Walland and Romney Marsh areas of Kent to protect a nearby site of special scientific interest (SSSI).
Farmers in England's "bread basket" have said they fear it will be only a matter of weeks before drought conditions are extended across the whole of East Anglia.
The East Anglian branch of the NFU said the region's cereal producers have been badly hit, and in some cases fruit and vegetable growers were also struggling.
Livestock farmers are also facing shortages of grazing and are having to use up their winter resources far too early.
But in the drought-affected areas, Anglian Water and Cambridge Water said there is no threat to public water supply as they have enough to get through the summer.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman is set to convene a second drought summit in the next 10 days to discuss what can be done to tackle the issue.
Today she said: "Once drought status is declared then the Environment Agency will go into talks with farmers about how to conserve as much of the remaining water supply as possible, and how to use it more judiciously.
"But that applies to all of us. Everybody knows how to do that and actually now is the time," she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
With swathes of England facing drought, Friends of the Earth called for action to protect water resources, including stronger water efficiency standards for businesses, homes and appliances and tougher action on leaking pipes.
The green group also called for a duty on water firms to help less well-off customers save water, such as by fitting water-saving taps and showers, stricter planning controls on development to preserve local resources and an end to unsustainable abstraction licences.
Friends of the Earth's policy and campaigns director Craig Bennett said: "Despite growing water use and the prospect of drier summers successive Governments have failed to tackle the problem - leaving large parts of the nation facing the prospect of being left high and dry.
"Our water supplies have been taken for granted for far too long and now we're facing a drought that could devastate our wildlife, rivers and crops.
"Ministers must act to ensure we change the way we use our water instead of wasting it through badly designed buildings and appliances, poor planning and inadequate investment."
Fears have been raised that wildlife ranging from water voles to butterflies could be severely hit by the drought.
Dr Martin Warren, chief executive of wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation, said: "The hot dry weather has so far been quite beneficial to butterflies, they have emerged earlier and in reasonable numbers. But the drought is a potential threat because it dries up the food plants on which the caterpillars feed.
"When we had a prolonged drought in the summer of 1976 numbers crashed.
"We could see a devastating impact on butterflies if the drought continues for a long time."
The Environment Agency is currently monitoring rivers to ensure fish do not become stranded as water levels fall and to protect wildlife against low oxygen levels and pollution incidents, which can be worsened by a lack of water in rivers.
Shadow environment secretary Mary Creagh said: "People are concerned about the country's water situation and its impact on food production.
"Families are already feeling the squeeze from rising food prices, which hit a two-year high last month.
"The driest spring on record has already severely affected a fifth of the cereal harvest, which could lead to further price hikes for food and beer.
"The Government have dropped their plans for a Water Bill in this parliament, which means further delays in the changes we need to make to use water more efficiently.
"The Government needs to get a grip and reassure people that they have robust plans in place to deal with the drought."

(note, tour is in German, so it helps to have good language skills) I took the Geschicte and Geschichten Rundgang. Leipzig attracted many great writers and artists, and it was very interesting seeing how they were involved in the city.
We were the only English speaking couple in a group of a dozen on this bus tour led by the excellent Sylvia. Her English was perfect and her explanations were informative, honest and appropriate. We had planned to take the one hour walking precursor, but our train from Frankfurt was late. There is no reason to believe that this part... More
We booked the 1-hour walking + 1.5-hour-bus tour. There were German and English speakers in our party and we all agreed the guide, a young man called Tim, was fantastic and literally said the same in both languages. He even translated some untranslatable local jokes! The bus tour was appreciated because many sights are quite far away from the city... More
From looking at previous reviews it seems we were lucky with the 1.30pm tour since we were only 6 persons all requiring english. Our guide was a local and very knowledgeable regarding the history of her city. She was also very happy to explain to us what happended before and during the 'Wende' - reunification. A very enjoyable hour. I... More
We attended the guided tour of Leipzig. We're recent migrants to Leipzig from Australia and figured it would give us a feel for our new home. The tour costs a very affordable 15€ and includes a one hour walking tour then two hours on a bus (without stops). The afternoon tours are offered in German and English (my Deutsch is... More
I took the 2,5 hour walking tour for only €8,-. Starting point is the tourist information center at the Katherinastrasse. They have a morning and afternoon version and there is no need to make a reservation. Just go there 15 minutes before start (11:00 and 14:00h) and buy a ticket. Our tourguide was a little hard to understand as she... More
First off I want to say the tour was good. It started at the information centre for a 1 hour stroll/walking through town and then a bus tour. The walking tour was done with explanations of the major sites to see in the inner city. The tour ended at the St. Thomas Church were the bus tour started. The bus... More
Nice, general bus tour around the city of Leipzig. Tickets must be bought at the city Tourist Information office (as opposed to buying at the bus). The 1:30PM tour kicks off with a 1-hour walking tour, ending at St Thomas Church, where the bus tour begins at 2:30PM. The tours can be taken together (15 Euros) or separately (5 Euros... More
This tour was, for us, the ideal introduction to the city of Leipzig, which we were visiting for the first time. We enjoyed both the walking part, which was around the heart of the old town, and then the bus tour, which included some of the outer parts and newer developments of the city. Our tour guide was very articulate,... More
We went on this tour on a day trip to Leipzig and took the 1:30 tour in English. The earlier tour was in German only. The guide spoke in both English and German and we were the only two that spoke English and it was not always German first. I could pick up bits in German and there was nothing... More

She was surprised to discover that both Leiber and Stoller were white, because they had been writing many R&B hits for other artists.
When Elvis Presley's version, based on a version by Freddie Bell and the Bellboys, hit big and sold millions of copies, a dispute over ownership of "Hound Dog" erupted. Johnny Otis, who was Thornton's bandleader, claimed that he had wrote it. On the other hand, Leiber and Stoller claimed that Otis had finagled his name on the songwriting credits while no one was looking. According to the songwriting team, they have expunged Otis' name from the credits.
Charitably, some sources give Otis the benefit of the doubt but most people credit Leiber and Stoller with the song.

see, I think effortlessly is different than thoughtlessly. I have had moments of inspiration when the words just seem to flow onto the paper practically of their own accord and other times it's like pulling stubborn roots from the ground. I guess I have to say that in some respects I think the statement might be true and in others, not so much - but let me add that I have great repect for Samuel Johnson!
ReplyDeleteSome great points, Ladies! I have a friend who has 6 published books. She says that the stories flow out of her faster now. I think part of that could be her confidence level too. If you had publishers awaiting your next work, it might speed up the process.
You have a wonderful week too, Buffy!

More Info View on mapThese guys specialize in paddle board rentals, and even offer a paddle board class to help you with getting your balance figured out before you take to the lake on your own. Paddle boarding isn't every person's idea of fun. Fortunately they offer paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, inflatable islands and aqua bikes as well. If 'aqua bike' doesn't ring a bell, they are those two-person tricycles with giant inflatable wheels that you may have seen looking ridiculous on the water. And their rates are very reasonable. If you happen to be here on one of those rare sunny summer days in Kelowna, you won't regret checking them out. They are tucked away in a nook of the lake, so you're not going to float away if you get tired too tired to paddle back. That seems important to me. – Lauren S., Front Desk

Snacking is one thing snacking to much is another. While many of us love a great snack from time to time there is a limit that we should not cross. I am as guilty as the next guy for crossing this limit. Often when I am eating I will go back for more or fill my bowl a bit fuller than it should be. The Yum Yum bowls is designed for portion controll to help us be aware of how much a serving is. The blog Leslie loves Veggies is hosting a giveaway where three lucky people will win a set of 4 yum yum bowls.

Measure how customers interact with your ads
November 30th, 2010 | Published in Google Adwords
New AdWords features such as Product ads, Sitelinks and Click-to-call allow you to create more interactive ads. Product ads and Sitelinks help customers find the most relevant pages on your website and Click-to-call allows customers to call your business directly from the search results.
As ads become more interactive, you might want to know how they'll impact your business's key metrics like clicks, click-through-rates and, most importantly, conversions.
To help answer this question, we've added a new report to your AdWords account that allows you to measure the performance of each click type you're using. You can think of a click type as how your customers interact with your ads. Did they click on the headline, a sitelink, or some other aspect of your ad?
You can access the new click type report in the Campaign, Ad groups or Keywords tabs. Select "Segment" then "Click type."
Given the success we've seen searchers and businesses have with more interactive features in ads, you can expect to see more of these types of features in the future. With the new click type report in AdWords you can measure the impact of these new features and continue to get the most out of your ads.

Idris Elahi, described as a key player in the Oct. 29 stabbing death of Matthew Chew in downtown New London, made his first appearance this morning in the New London court where major crimes are heard.
Attorney Bruce A. McIntyre, a private attorney who contracts with the state to serve as a special public defender, was assigned to represent Elahi, who is 17. He will return to court on Dec. 23.
Elahi is one of six teens accused of attacking and killing Chew as the 25-year-old artist and restaurant worker walked home from work. Elahi and Marquis Singleton are both charged with murder, while four others are charged with accessory to murder. The six teens allegedly jumped and attacked Chew because they were "bored."
Judge Patrick J. Clifford ordered the arrest warrant detailing the case against Elahi to remain sealed through Jan. 10. The judge also ordered sealed 15 search warrants the New London Police obtained for the homes and cell phones of the defendants.
Elahi did not enter a plea during his brief appearance this morning. As defendants in a murder case, Elahi and the others have the option of having a probable cause hearing at which the state would have to prove it has enough evidence to continue prosecuting them.
Elahi is being held on $1.25 million bond at the Manson Youth Institution in Cheshire.

Author's infos
Gender: female Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Mon 5th of October 2009
Stephanie was glad to be leaving work after working almost fifteen hours. She didn't even notice that it was a little before ten until she turned on her car stereo. She also didn't notice until now how hungry she was. Maybe it was because she had been trying to figure how to help get her teams part of the multimillion project back on schedule and back on budget. So she pulled into Arbys to get a sandwich and a diet coke to eat when she got home because she did not want to make anything.
When Stephanie walked into the house she realized that it was quieter than normal. She remembered that her roommate Jennifer left earlier with her new boyfriend, Mark, for a long weekend at the lake. That would be a nice change to have a quiet house compared to their loud TV and conversations that Mark and Jennifer have she thought to herself.
Stephanie sat down at the kitchen table to eat her dinner. She was surprised and a little mad when she opened up the wrapper on her sandwich and saw that it was not what she ordered. What made it even worse was that it was something that she didn't even like. 'What a perfect ending to a perfect day,' she said sarcastically out loud. After throwing the sandwich in the trash and finishing her diet coke, Stephanie went into the bathroom and turn on the water for a nice long hot bubble bath.
While the water was running, she opened a few windows in the house to get some fresh air on this warmer than normal spring night. Hurriedly she took off her work clothes, put on her robe, and ran to the bathroom. By then the water was about the right level to cover her petite, 5' 3", 108 pound frame as she laid comfortably in the warm tub. She was too busy relaxing to think about going to bed hungry. She was relaxing so much that she fell asleep in the tub for a few minutes. Stephanie decided to get out before falling asleep in the tub again.
After drying off, the cute, petite dark haired woman went to her bedroom and put on a big comfy T-shirt and crawled into her bed. Stephanie had been sleeping for a little while when she heard someone walking down the hardwood floor hallway from the back of the house. She was so tired, she wasn't sure if she was dreaming or if she was awake. She lay there listening with her eyes open even though she could not see much from the red light coming from her digital clock. After listening and looking towards the ceiling for what felt like an eternity, she heard her doorknob turning ever so slowly and quietly.
'Oh Shit!' she thought, 'I forgot to close the windows,' as her door opened. She saw the red light of a small flashlight as she was sitting up. Her heart was about to beat out of her chest. She started to scream for help when she heard the figure wearing the nylon running suit run for her, he then slapped her face with such force that her head immediately spun to the right. He then jumped to her left side and held his gloved right hand over her mouth and whispered in her ear, 'shut up bitch!'
Stephanie was so terrified that she stopped fighting, While he was telling her to shut up he felt on the wrought iron head board post for the belt of her robe that hung from the corner to gag her with so she couldn't yell anymore. He removed his hand quickly and wrapped the belt over her mouth and started to tighten it, he tightened it so much that it forced her mouth open so there was no way she could yell.
When he finished, he threw Stephanie back, jumped onto and straddled her. He then grabbed her arms and held them above her head. She watched the masked man with much fear as he stuck his free hand into the fanny pack and pulled out a pair of handcuffs that glowed red from light of her clock. Quickly and in one smooth motion he handcuffed her small wrist that he pushed it through the barred headboard, he then grabbed her other hand with the empty side of the handcuffs. A lot had happened in only a few seconds.
The masked man then knelt down next to her and whispered, 'Is Jennifer home tonight?' Stephanie shook her head no. He then whispered to her, 'I'm not going to hurt you, I'm only here for your valuables.' As soon as he said that, he got up and left her room. She heard him walking as quiet as the floor would let him, but he stopped suddenly, she knew he was in front of Jennifer's room. Even though he was being quiet, the noise of her squeaky door hinge was loud enough for her to know that he was going into her room.
For what seemed like hours, as she heard him walking through house and searching everything for whatever he was going to take, she was hit with a flood of emotions. Besides the fear of not knowing what he was going to do to her, was anger, she was pissed that this masked man was going through her house, he also hit her in the face, and tied her up. She also felt denial, she could not believe that this was happening to her.
As the hallway floor creaked, she knew he was coming back to her room by the sounds, it was the last one that he was going to go through. She lifted her head and saw the red light getting brighter as he was getting near. He entered her room without even looking or speaking to her. What nerve. He went straight to her bedside table and turned on a small light. It was only as bright as a night light that he had seen a thousand times before for kids.
She felt so violated as he entered her closet. He was looking in the boxes in the top first. And then systematically searched the hanging clothes followed by everything on the floor of the closet. After finishing the closet he went to her dresser. She still couldn't believe this was happening and felt helpless while lying there handcuffed to the bed.
On top of her dresser was her jewelry box. He put that in a bag. Then he went to the top drawer and went through it. After looking through it and not finding anything he wanted he went to the next one. After looking through two more he started to open the bottom one. Stephanie felt embarrassed of what he would find.
As he opened it, he felt something under the sweaters, he threw them all on the floor. Much to his surprise he saw what he never imagined he would find in Stephanie's room. Especially since she was always so conservative around others. Laying there in front of him were vibrators, cat o' nine tails whip, anal beads, butt plugs, handcuffs, but not like his, blindfolds, short pieces of rope, and edible lotions. The mere sight of these things excited him as he imagined her petite 5'2' frame, lean legs, long dark hair, and her firm large B-cupped breasts. He was surprised as he felt his dick hardening, but he couldn't stop thinking about her in many sexual ways, no matter how much he tried to stop.
Stephanie wasn't sure if the redness of her face was from the slap, anger, or embarrassment that this stranger has found out her secret passions. Stephanie was getting worried as the masked stranger was just kneeling there looking at her toys for several minutes.
He stood up and came towards her, she saw that he had her black blindfold in his hand. She started to shake with fear. He lifted her head slightly and placed the blindfold on her so she could not see anything. He then pulled the sheet and cover off the bed and she heard it hit the floor. The sound of his footsteps was going back towards the dresser. She felt so helpless and afraid!
She hoped that this wasn't going to happen, but she knew it was. She wanted him to get it over with or just kill her. She just wanted it over and him to be gone. She heard him walking back towards the bed, but instead of stopping she heard him going around the foot of her bed.
Surprisingly she felt a rubber gloved hand grab her right ankle and lift it up. What she had felt with desire before now felt of pure fear as the rope slid over her foot and the slop knot tightened over her ankle. Her legs were pulled apart as the other end of the rope was tied to wrought iron footboard of her bed. As soon as he grabbed her other ankle slide the rope over and spread her legs more as he tied it to the bed.
She started thinking of her family and friends, to try to block out what was happening to her now. She had just thought she had everything blocked out when she felt his two hands grab her T-shirt collar and rip it open all the way down. She lay there naked except for what remained of her shirt sleeves over her shoulders. A second later she heard a click and felt her shirt was being cut off. It had to be a knife. After both sleeves were cut he pulled the tattered remains of the shirt out from under her.
The masked man was even more excited after witnessing the gorgeous body of Stephanie. Her long brown hair lay over and caressed her tan shoulders. He could imagine her beautiful brown eyes under the blindfold. Her cute little nose. Those lips and white teeth made a smile that you would melt over.
There were no tan lines on her full breasts. Her areolas were the size of silver dollars. The nipples were barely sticking up. Her stomach was lean with just a slight bit of muscle definition, as her chest and stomach were moving rapidly with her breathing. Her waist was slender. He noticed that she only had a small patch of trimmed pubic hair over her otherwise shaven pussy. He was happy to see no tan lines anywhere on her body. Her legs were the lean tan legs of a former runner. She was even more beautiful than he imagined. And more naughty than he could ever think.
He couldn't believe he was about to do this. This was the first time that he ever broke into anyone's house. He was just going to take a few things. But he was surprised to find someone home. And when he found her toys! He couldn't resist what he was about to do.
She was trying to mentally leave her house when she heard one of her vibrators start and stop for a second. He got up on the bed and knelt between her open thighs. She felt him lean forward as her vibrator started. His left hand was holding him up as he used his right hand to guide the small three-inch long vibrator over her right collarbone across her neck over the left collarbone. She was not going to let anything he did to her feel good.
The vibrator then went lower circling her left breast a few times. The circles grew smaller, going around the areola then the nipple. She could not help it. Her nipple grew with anticipation no matter how much she hated it to. The vibrator then circled the right breast. Circling again smaller until rounding the nipple. Her nipples had grown erect and longer than he had expected, it made him more excited.
As he started to lean back, the vibrator drew down her stomach towards her vagina. He brought the toy down and through her pubic hair. He then traced her inner thigh, knee, calf and ankle, sending a wave of excitement to her brain and a chill up her back. Next the vibrator started at her right ankle and went up past her calf to the knee and over her inner thigh to circle her pubic area. He took the vibrator and traced the lips of her vagina several times.
He thought he heard a small moan. With his thumb and forefinger, he spread her lips and played with her clit until it started to rise slightly. Now he definitely heard a small, quiet moan. In the shadowy light he could see that she was getting wet with her own juices. She was mad at herself for not wanting him to stop when he got off the bed.
When he came back, she felt him place some things next to her while he settled down between her legs again. She was surprised to feel the straps of her ladybug being wrapped around to hold the vibrating unit on her clitoris. After he turned it on, she was surprised to hear another vibrating noise. As soon as he inserted the tip of the vibrator, she let out a louder moan of shock and enjoyment. But she knew right away that it was her favorite seven-inch, jelly-filled, slightly curved vibrator.
Her feelings of hatred and fear were quickly turning into pleasure. She never in her wildest dreams would have expected to feel the walls of her vagina tighten up and spasm and send the wave of electricity through her body during an orgasm, but it happened. After her sudden excitement, he withdrew the vibrator and removed the ladybug clitoris. The stranger had suddenly left the bed again.
She thought she heard some things placed by her feet. And then he gently lifted her head and took her pillows. She wondered why until she felt a powerful arm slide under the small of her back and lift her easily. He then placed a pillow under her lower back and buttocks and lower her. She heard the cap of what had to be her anal ease open. She then felt a greased finger spread the lube around her anus. She was still shocked to feel the greased finger gently enter her anus.
After he started the rhythmic motion of moving his finger in and out slowly, she wanted more. Again he stopped before she wanted him to. After coating the missile and her anus with more lube, she felt the pressure of the missile being inserted slowly and gently. As soon as he turned on the missile, she felt another spasm of pleasure move throughout her body. The pace of the missile slowly, but deliberately, quickened.
Soon her breathing was quickening and she was moaning heavily. But before he had grown tired of using this toy on her, she had another orgasm. She was shocked that a stranger that broke into her house could make her feel so good. She was amazed that the one arm could again lift her effortlessly she so he could remove the pillow. As she lay there, it was quiet momentarily. It sounded like someone was throwing clothes on the floor.
He was going crazy with animal passion. He couldn't wait anymore. He had to have her. This time when he got back onto the bed she felt the hair on his legs as he straddled her to get back between her legs. But she also felt his manhood drag across her leg. She became excited with the exception of his manhood entering her. But she was surprised to feel the syrupy, edible lotion covering her nipples. He started to kiss her neck, slightly dragging his tongue over her while he moved to the next spot to kiss her.
She realized it was her favorite lotion when he began to blow on her erect nipples and they began to burn. She knew that the only way to stop the burn was to lick off all the lotion. And her sensitive nipples were yearning to be cooled down by his tongue. As he was caressing her breast with his hands, his tongue was steadily trying to remove the lotion. A little off each nipple at a time. The moaning that Stephanie was doing had been more continuous and louder for a while now. Which made the stranger more excited. By the time he was sure that he had got all the lotion off her breast, her nipples were rock hard.
She then felt the coolness of the lotion being dripped onto her exposed clit. She was shocked when he cut the ropes to her ankles. But that allowed him to drape her legs over his strong and powerful shoulders and back. He then started licking her clit like a man with only one mission in life, to bring her to multiple orgasms. His tongue was circling her clit, it felt like he was drawing every inch of this world on her clit with his tongue. While he was licking, he was also fingering her wet pussy. She was enjoying every lick and stroke of the two fingers being rapidly moved in and out of her pussy.
Just when she thought she could take no more, he sat up and spread her legs wide. She felt his hard chest and stomach against hers when he lay down on top of her so he could enter her. She was excited to feel that he was a little bigger than her favorite vibrator. She just hoped that he had the same results.
She could tell that he was pacing himself, but she didn't care. She urged him on with her pelvic thrust and by tightening her pussy. His pace quickened and then quickened some more. She could feel the fire in her loins. Her pulse was going so fast that she thought her heart was going to explode. At that moment she let go and had the most intense orgasm that she had ever had. But the stranger wasn't done. He lifted her legs, brought her knees to her chest. Grabbed his dick and guided it into her anus. Slow for awhile, but he knew he was close so he quickened his pace. He looked down at Stephanie and saw her sweating profusely.
Finally the excitement of the evening and this beautiful girl caught up with him. He withdrew his penis and she felt his hot cum land on her stomach and tits. He needed to sit down after he was finished, but Stephanie wondered what was next. He got up to put his clothes on as the sun was coming up. When Stephanie heard him start putting his clothes on, she quietly was able to slip one of her sweaty wrist and hands free from one side of the cuffs. She ever so slowly lowered her arm and pulled her blindfold up over her eyes. The stranger had just finished putting on his shoes when he turned and saw her watching him. When he turned, Stephanie was shocked, it was no stranger but a friend of Jennifer's. It was Rob!
Rob jumped up and ran out of the room when he knew she saw him. When Stephanie got out of bed she nearly tripped over a pillowcase with Jennifer's and her things in it. Rob had left it. Now all Stephanie had to do was to figure out if she was going to call the police. --

dude u shouldn't want to rape a chick in real life u pig, oh and to the author, great story, the ending could've been a little better though. :)

While i have obviously never been raped, i do know from a friends experience on the subject that the woman's body will betray her during the physical act of intercourse. The body will lubricate itself to avoid injury and to facilitate the biological process. also of note is that some women have stated that they actually feel some pleasure emanating from the intercourse during rape, which leads to the feelings of shame many women express after the incidents.
For the record, i DO NOT CONDONE RAPE! nor is it a fantasy of mine, however i do find the subject fascinating to discuss for the intellectual side of it

Taiwan Holds Policy Rate for Longest Period as Growth Slows
Andrea Wong and Chinmei SungTaiwan held interest rates for an eighth meeting after the government cut its growth forecast for the year and as China's cash squeeze hurts the outlook.
The central bank kept the discount rate on 10-day loans to banks at 1.875 percent, it said in a statement in Taipei today, as predicted by all 19 economists in a Bloomberg survey. The monetary authority has refrained from adjusting borrowing costs since June 2011, the longest period of inaction, its data showed.
A cash squeeze in China, the island's biggest trading partner, has led to market sell-offs in Asia and threatens to slow the region's expansion. Taiwan's statistics bureau last month cut the gross domestic product forecast for this year to 2.4 percent from 3.59 percent, and President Ma Ying-jeou has unveiled measures to boost economic growth.
"Low inflation and sluggish growth continue to prompt the central bank to remain accommodative," said Raymond Yeung, a Hong Kong-based senior economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. "The central bank is also watching closely the highly uncertain financial markets," and will continue to act prudentially and maintain a stable policy stance.
Global funds have sold almost $4 billion of Taiwanese stocks this month. The Taiex index closed 1.3 percent higher today before the announcement. The Taiwan dollar has slipped about 3.5 percent this year against its U.S. counterpart.
President Ma, whose disapproval rating is at its highest since he took office in May 2008, has sought closer trade and investment ties with China to bolster the island's economy. He said last month he'll let the island's insurers invest in infrastructure projects and create a NT$1 billion ($33 million) fund to channel money to companies.
Biggest Squeeze
China and Taiwan will begin currency-swap negotiations this year, the island's monetary authority said today. China's biggest squeeze on credit in at least a decade limits mainland companies' financing abilities, fueling concern a further slowdown will drag Taiwan's economic growth.
"The Fed's potential scale-back of bond buying and China's liquidity problems affect the prospects of global economic growth," Central bank Governor Perng Fai-nan said. "Keeping interest rates unchanged will ensure a stable economic recovery and inflation outlook."
Taiwan's economy grew 1.67 percent in the three months through March from a year earlier, after expanding 3.97 percent in the fourth quarter. Consumer prices rose 0.74 percent in May from a year earlier, the slowest pace since February 2012.
Modest Inflation
Exports, which make up about 60 percent of the island's gross domestic product, slipped in two of five months this year. HTC Corp., the Taiwanese smartphone maker which posted a record-low profit last quarter, said its revenue fell 3.4 percent in May from a year earlier.
Perng, who was re-appointed to a fourth term in February, said in a statement inflation has been "modest," and measures to cool property prices have seen results. While stagnant wage growth and food-safety issues have damped private consumption, the economy will be better in the third quarter from the preceding period, it said.
Perng has imposed selective credit controls on luxury housing since June last year, with mortgages capped at 60 percent of the value of the property in Taipei and New Taipei city for values of over NT$80 million, and NT$50 million in other parts of Taiwan.
"Weak economic growth and low inflation mean that rate hikes anytime soon are out of the question," said Gareth Leather, a London-based Asia economist at Capital Economics Ltd. "Interest rates will remain unchanged until at least the end of the year, although there remains an outside chance of a rate cut if the economy continues to weaken."

Mon, 04/07/2005 - 07:13
The SEC has filed an emergency enforcement action to halt fraudulent conduct concerning Tenet Capital Partners Convertible Opportunities Fund, LP.
In addition to the above hedge fund, the SEC' s action also relates to its investment adviser, Tenet Asset Management, LLC and Tenet's principal, Jon E. Hankins. Also on June 22, 2005, the court granted the Commission's application for a temporary restraining order which included, among other things, the appointment of a temporary receiver over the Convertible Opportunities Fund and Tenet.
The Complaint alleges that the Convertible Opportunities Fund, Tenet, and Hankins concealed, and are continuing to conceal, from investors large investment losses and are seeking to unfairly honor a redemption request at inflated values to cover up the fraud. According to the SEC, Hankins and Tenet have recently made numerous false statements to investors of the Convertible Opportunities Fund, as well as to investors in another hedge fund managed by Tenet and Hankins, Tenet Offshore Capital Partners Ltd. ("Offshore Capital Partners") (collectively, the "Funds").
The Complaint also alleges that within the last four months, in an effort to raise new capital for the Funds, Hankins met with investors and made false representations concerning Tenet's investment strategy and the Funds' performance.
Hankins allegedly also provided investors with deceptive and false marketing materials that, among other things, grossly misrepresented the performance of the Convertible Opportunities Fund during the period April through December 2004. While the marketing materials for the Convertible Opportunities Fund reflected a gain of more than 32% during that period, the Convertible Opportunities Fund's audited financial statements for that period reflect that the fund returned a 24% loss during the period.
In addition, as recently as May 25, 2005, the SEC alleges Hankins distributed to at least one investor altered audited financial statements for 2004 for the Convertible Opportunities Fund. The altered 2004 audited financial statements: (a) concealed the fund's reported USD1.4 million net loss in 2004; (b) falsely stated that the fund had net assets of USD 31.2 million when, in fact, it reported only USD 4.2 million; and (c) falsely stated that the fund earned 32.4% in investment returns when, in fact, it reported a 24.5% loss.
The Complaint further alleges that Defendants are also seeking to improperly distribute assets to cover up the fraud. Recently, to assuage the concerns of one investor, Hankins requested that the Funds' prime broker redeem this investor's funds from the Convertible Opportunities Fund's account (a total of $3 million) at a level of redemption inconsistent with the losses incurred in the fund's accounts. Although the prime broker has not acted on Hankins' request, there is no guarantee that it will refrain from honoring future requests, nor is it obligated to do so. Moreover, Hankins' recent request suggests that he may likely attempt to make additional, improper distribution requests, and by doing so, will leave empty-handed the last investors to seek a withdrawal.
The complaint charges all the Defendants with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint further charges Hankins and Tenet with violating Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act.
The Court granted, among other emergency relief, a temporary restraining order which included the appointment of a temporary receiver over the Convertible Opportunities Fund and Tenet. In its enforcement action, the Commission is seeking additional emergency relief, including orders enjoining the Defendants, preliminarily and permanently, from committing future violations of the foregoing federal securities laws, and a final judgment ordering the Defendants to disgorge ill-gotten gains, and assessing civil penalties.

First Review by Fluffy Blob
Brilliant little shop with amazing cakes and friendly staff!!
Pros: Cakes, Cakes, Beer
Cons: Cakes Taste Too Good..!!
Lovely Cakes and Sweet Shop too (no Pun intended)!
I researched Hastings while planning my trip in England and was delighted to find the Vegan Bakery. Although I was in Hastings for only one day/night, that didn't stop me from stocking up for the remainder of my road trip (another 3 days). I truly enjoyed the treat I had that day and each day thereafter. A must if you visit Hastings. Also, the shopkeeper was quite sweet too! Enjoy.
Vegan cake stand + shop in Queens Road
Well-priced slices of cake or cupcakes including gluten-free options. My favourites are the coffee n walnut cake, chocolate cake, and carrot cake cupcakes. Also special occasion cakes to order.
Some nice savoury stuff like leek and mushroom Pasties or tabbouleh and falafel salad pots.
Shop is starting to stock stuff like Vegusto vegan cheese etc.
Lovely friendly owners also produced their own recipe book and have occasional workshops or special evening meals.
Their latest creation, vegan caramels are pure melt-in-the-mouth GORGEOUS!
The stand started in Hastings market. The shop is in Queens Road (roughly opposite the Morrisons petrol station).
Updated from previous review on Saturday November 03, 2012
Pros: Good prices, Vegan cakes , lovely people

awesome cakes
I was in Hastings last summer and I went to the town centre market because I knew vegan cakes were sold there !!! Their cakes are really awesome and inexpensive.
Pros: excellent cakes, friendly staff, inexpensive
Lovely Cakes
I have bought 2 cakes to take home and share with my family; banana and walnut, and vanilla sponge. Both of these were really lovely. The staff were also very pleasant and helpful.
Pros: lovely cakes, friendly staff
Cons: small range at present
All vegan cakes in Hastings
We stumbled upon this during our stay in Hastings and highly recommend the delicious cakes and savouries made by these lovely people! So, so good.
Yummy Yummy
Cakes are brilliant. You would never know they are vegan. Ownes are friendly and the book 1066 Cakestands Compendium of cakes worth every penny of the (rather reasonable) £8.99 price tag. Even if you eat anything, the cakes are better than any other shop cakes; really home made. Give them a try you wont be dissapointed.
Pros: Allergy cakes for all tastes, Good value, Helpful owners
Cons: Might get fat if you eat to many!

being part Yorkshire and not liking to spend more money than I need (!), two years ago I found an ideal way to grow sweet peas with a deep rooting system. I cut a 1-litre milk carton roughly in half. Then I invert the top half and stand it in the bottom part (to contain the compost). The two parts together thus form a funnel-shape pot, quite deep but not so wide that you have to use a lot of compost! I sow one sweet pea per pot (usually soaked on damp tissue for a day or two first till it splits). Assuming your local Council recycles plastic, the cartons can be rinsed out when finished with and sent for recycling in the usual way.
On the subject of milk cartons - you do buy British milk, do you, to support our struggling farmers - we can't expect them to be conscientious custodians of teh countryside if they're nearly skint!
Hope it's not too late for at least some sweet pea lovers out there..
I make drainage holes in the bottom part and stand it on the usual gravel tray to contain drips and cut diagonally along the top part to allow the light to get to the compost freely.

It's Tuesday so it is time to update the Tampa Bay Rays Power Rankings. These rankings are a combination of overall importance to the team and a general "who's hot and who's not", mixed with how we currently feel about and perceive each member of the team. It is by far, the least scientific thing we do on this site…

I really hope we keep Jonny "the pittbull" Gomes around he is alot of fun to watch with his all out style of play! Not a big Hammel fan... I know its early but i was really hoping Rocco would be able to handle the "triangle" but taking days off this early and pushing his RF debut back is REAL scary IMO...

i'm with jesse on this one. we need Gomes. who knows what Rocco is going to give us and i dont trust ruggiano. and yes, rocco is being rocco already. at least he didnt tease us this year.

Just read where the Arizona Cardinals have asked permission to interview Todd Haley? As a Steelers fan are we ready to see him go after one season or should the Steelers deny permission.
Just read where the Arizona Cardinals have asked permission to interview Todd Haley? As a Steelers fan are we ready to see him go after one season or should the Steelers deny permission.
If he did leave who would be our options? Is the better question
terrible fit for practically every key piece of our offense.
everytime i see this stupid suggestion I try to figure out whether the poster is simple delusional about the talents of the present steelers offensive players, or if they are wildly uninformed about what the Norv Turner offense is.
It's good to be back!
It's not dillusional. If you know Norv's history as an OC, he's always been able to adapt his offense to the talents available. From Dallas, to Washington, to Oakland..he's always shown that ability.
And I've watched his offense the entire time. He runs a vertical/strike offense with a tendency for his routes to be 5 yards deeper then most. Provided we get the O-line together, I don't see a problem with Norv's offense being a fit for us. And he usually has a good run/pass ratio too.
The Steeler way...is the only way.
Norv turner adapts? lol
Norv runs a very specific version of the "Air Coryell" offense.It's a terrible fit for Roethlisberger. What skill sets from QB and WR are most important in Norv Turnver's vertical offense... in your opinion?
it just completely boggles my mind that anyone would want to combine Norv Turner+Ben Roethlisberger. Not even getting into lacking the right weapons at WR, TE, and RB to run the offense.... but it's just a terrible mix at the OC/QB level that we shouldn't even have to move on to the 2nd level problems.
It's good to be back!
I would stay in house and promote Randy Fichtner.

Who Am I?
Short Story by: whoisadamanyway
Where am I? I'm so cold. Hello? Are you there? Anybody? The last thing I remember was being in the car with my mom on the way to buy a new laptop. I can't feel my body, all I feel is cold. Hello? I can see something, a small spec of light. It's moving, left, right, left, and right. It's warming me ever so slightly. The warmth is so soothing. I can feel my arm. It's so cold. Everything is still so cold. The light, it's getting bigger. Why is no one replying to me? It's bigger, it's nearly out of my vision it's so big. Can you see me? The light has fully consumed me now. The cold is being diminished by the ever so slight warmth of the light. I see things moving in the light. They're dark figures, blobs. What are they doing? Hello? Are you there? Can you tell me where I am? I think the blobs are people. Can you explain to me what's happening? My arm is getting very hot around the center. Why is it getting hotter? I can see, the blob is on my arm. It's getting bigger. It's human, I'm sure of it. Whoever it is, is holding my arm. Why is it holding my arm? Please help me?
Why can't I see clearly, everything is blurred? I can make out the people, but nothing else. Did you hear that? Someone's talking. I can hear them, they're mumbling. It's all distorted. Excuse me, can you tell me where I am? Humorous. I heard them say Humorous, funny bone. Why are they touching my funny bone? Have I been abducted by aliens? Hello? Where's my mommy? The person touching me, it's a woman. I can see her long brunette hair. But it's still so blurry. She's sliding her fingers up my arm. Do aliens look like humans? Answer me! Whoever you are? I can hear things, so many things so many noises clashing together, what am I hearing? Can you hear it too? Where's mom?
Am I… I'm dead, aren't I. I'm dead, oh my god. My whole life is gone. I won't be able to get married, have kids, enjoy anything, I'm dead. Why did this have to happen to me? Why did I have to die? I can't cry, because I'm dead. My mom, is she dead too? Hello? Is the person touching me the medical examiner? I bet she's cutting me open right now, oh my god, I never got to say goodbye to my friends. They're probably crying right now. How can I think, still? Is my brain still active? Oh my god, my brain is still active. My brain is going to die soon. Then I'll be gone forever. I will fall into eternal darkness. Nothing but dreams, now. Nothing is left. I am sorry, everyone. I'm so sorry. It's time, I think. I can feel tingles, I think I'm about to di-

this is good. I liked the way you described everything. it was so real, yet unreal at the same time. I suppose that's what life and death experiences are supposes to be like. even though there were so many ways this could have become confusing it wasn't. you described the haze of death with complete clarity. excellent work. wish there was more of it and you've left me curious as to whether he just woke up or actually died. once again solid work. keep writing :) ~ARoses
This is very good. You did an amazing job well written. Good piece.
Nicely done. I like the descriptions. It's specific and vivid. Story wise I'm curious how he ended up that way but other than that, great job! :)
