Tallgrass Brewing Company Buffalo Sweat
Brewery: Tallgrass Brewing Company
Beer: Buffalo Sweat, 1 pint can
Style: Stout
POP: Gift from Kate of The Can Van
Price: It was a present, duh.
This lovely can of stout (!) comes courtesy of my friend Kate, a beer pioneer of sorts as one of the founding members of the aforementioned Can Van. Kate – who lives in my former state of California – has been a great beer saint, even risking life and limb at the hands of the law to traffic beer across state lines to bring me a Pliny the Elder, as well as other delicious brews.
Like this one.
Maybe the novelty of stout in a can hasn't worn off on me yet. Maybe it's the fact that this beer pours like a Pepsi – dark brown with a bubbly tan head – that trips me out a bit. Regardless, the size of the can (a full pint – more than my "pint" glass) and the wonderful dark chocolate and toasted malt aroma brings me back into adulthood.
The taste is basic dry stout – no surprises or sweetness from caramel malts. Even as it warms, it's a bit watery in the finish, but otherwise I can find no faults with this beer. Beautiful lacing down the glass as well as a thin layer of foam that sticks around until the very end showcases that this is a well brewed beer with the highest quality ingredients.
Manhattan, KS, is lucky to have this brewery. Combining my loves – college basketball and great beer – perhaps a road trip to the brewery and the Octagon of Doom is in order.
Half Acre SS Simon Short
Brewery: Half Acre Beer Company
Beer: SS Simon Short, growler
Style: Porter
POP: Half Acre brewery store, 4257 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago
Price: $12
Is it January? Naw, man, it's August! Er…December.
Damn, I've been out of it for a while, it would appear. Pair things like school being busy, work picking up, a crippling addiction to the far reaches of the internet, and a fear of publishing anything that hasn't been meticulously and unnecessarily critiqued by yours truly, and that's gonna happen.
Once again, the folks over at Half Acre hit it out of the park with a small batch brew. This past Friday was the annual release of the Big Hugs coffee imperial stout. Saturday, I showed up to get the Big Hugs and walked out with this. Let that sink in. Now, don't get me wrong, I bought some bottles of Big Hugs and will try to snag a growler too if it holds on for a while. But after tasting it, I could not pass up this limited run.
But, before getting into the SS Simon Short, this begs the question (complete with poor grammar): How come nobody brews porters any more? Let me take a stab at this. It's hard. That's why. I've had a few porters that have been, well, pretty weak. Like, yeah, it's dark and has a faintly earthy/nutty flavor and nose, but it's not complex and there's no body to it.
Now. Half Acre wouldn't stand for this kind of porter. So they made a good one, perfect for this stupid cold weather. Straight out of the growler and into a pint glass, it's deep brown but not black with an uneven, bubbly tan head. This smells perfect – roasted malts and a hint of sweetness, but not overpowering on the nuttiness. The taste is very much the same, with just the slightest hint of hops. The body is full, with a balanced, but not heavy, mouthfeel. Plus, at only 6% ABV, this is the perfect beer to pour a big pint, take a healthy swig, and be glad you're inside where it's warm.
And thus, my love affair with Half Acre beers continues. Carry on, fellas.
Goose Island Hex Nut Brown Ale
Brewery: Goose Island Beer Company
Beer: Hex Nut Brown Ale, Pint
Style: Brown Ale
POP: Goose Island Wrigleyville
Price: $5?
I live on the North side of Chicago. I don't live in Wrigleyville proper, but I am walking distance from Wrigley Field. Though I'm mostly indifferent about baseball, I did grow up a White Sox fan. So…yeah. But all my friends are Cubs fans, so as such, I've been to way more Cubs games than Sox games.
The beginning of August was no exception. My friend Mike, a teacher, had some time in between the end of his grad school classes and when he had to go back to teaching in Indianapolis. Dude headed up here to catch a weekday Cubs game, and I of course accompanied. Because my schedule is flexible like that, and it rules.
Seeing as how I'm pushing 30 and I prefer to drink flavorful beer out of clean glasses, most bars in Wrigleyville aren't my favorite. But a saving grace for me every time some pregame beers need to be had is Goose Island's Wrigleyville location. While not as robust of a tap selection as their main Clybourn location, this definitely does the trick.
This day I tried their Hex Nut Brown Ale, formerly just the Nut Brown Ale, and now only available on tap in brewpubs. (This article explains why – that basically everyone's going gaga for Belgians and IPA's right now, and since breweries have to keep the lights on, are brewing the more popular styles.) Goose Island's brown ale comes in a pint, cold and with a foamy off-white head. The taste presents hints of chocolate and lots of malt flavor with a low carbonation, almost creamy feel. I do find it to be a little lacking in flavor though. I would describe it as watery, but that would take away from the excellent texture of this beer. Maybe I just wanted a fuller finish. A sessionable beer for sure, and now a rarity.
Revolution / 3 Floyds Collaboration: Sodom & Gomorrah
Brewery: Revolution Brewing Company / Three Floyds Brewing Company
Beer: Sodom (snifter) & Gomorrah (pint)
Style: Russian Imperial Stout, Small Stout
POP: Revolution Brewing Company, Chicago
Price: $9 snifter, $5 pint
Sometimes I struggle with whether or not to post about limited-run beers that I know are gone. Most of the time I spend so much time worrying and procrastinating (a debilitating vicious cycle, as Hyperbole and a Half demonstrates here and here) that by the time I reach ultimatum time, the release is so far past that it wouldn't even matter.
But dammit, I'm gonna crank this one out while at least one of these beers is still on tap, and the other one is still alive in recent memory and not just my poorly typed iPhone notes and beer-stained thoughts.
The fine folks at Revolution Brewing Company here in Chicago and 3 Floyds Brewing Company met to do a collaboration on two half-batches of beer from the same full batch mash, a method called parti-gyle. The end result was Sodom and Gomorrah, a Russian Imperial Stout and a small stout, respectively. Hearing that the last keg of Sodom was on the ropes, I took a break from work (freelance FTW) and biked over to Rev for lunch.
Sodom, the big Russian Imperial Stout, is an 11% monster poured into a snifter. Tastes just as bold as Revolution/3 Floyds described, but with the chalky feeling and hint of semi-sweet chocolate on the palate, which I did not expect. It works quite well for this beer. The medium sized brown head sticks around on top and on the sides of the glass throughout the whole beer, with an oily residue that stains the glass a pale copper. As it warms, the finish becomes nice and sticky-sweet. Phenomenal.
Of course, I couldn't leave without a pint of the Gomorrah small stout. Comparable to a dry stout, it's poured straight up in a pint glass, a deep brown with an off-white head. Gomorrah is the Danny DeVito to Sodom's Arnold Schwarzenegger. A bit watery, but purposefully thin, instead of savoring tiny sips of Sodom, Gomorrah begs you to take a big swig and peer out the window onto sunny, bustling Milwaukee Avenue. A perfect beer for a warm-but-starting-to-feel-like-fall day. The coffee notes come through more than the chocolate did in Sodom, and the hops are subtle and subdued more than I expected. While I like this as a cool concept beer, it might not stand on it's own.
Overall, a cool collaboration. And hey, I even learned something about a brewing style I'd never heard of before.
*As of this posting, I'm sure Revolution is tapped out of Sodom. No idea about the 3 Floyds brewpub. Gomorrah is still available on tap.
New Belgium Trippel
Brewery: New Belgium Brewing Company
Beer: New Belgium Trippel, 12 oz. bottle
Style: Belgian Trippel
POP: Whole Foods, Lakeview, Chicago
Price: $9.99, 6-pack
You may remember from a previous post that I was geeked up by the (apparent) arrival of New Belgium Trippel to the Chicago market. See, that post was in February, and I was supposed to see this beer hitting shelves sometime in April. Well hi there, it's late July, and I finally picked up my first sixer of this bad boy last week. Although, it was the last one on the shelf at Whole Foods, so I'd say I might not have been the only person anxiously waiting its arrival.
Anyway. It's here. And it's in the new style packaging. As always, poured into my lovely Dogfish Head globe glass, this looks like everything that a nice trippel should be: golden-amber hued with a slowly rising and dissipating white head.
I don't know that I've ever known what coriander tastes like before this, although I suppose I could say that it's the magic ingredient in the New Belgium Trippel that makes it so wonderful. It's got a bit of a crisp hop bite to it, but not a whole lot. But it's an interesting bite – which, after raiding my spice rack for a sample, I can definitely say is coriander. The finish is crisp and clean, more so than a few other trippels that have a lingering yeasty flavor. This is a great beer for summer, and the fact that it comes in easily portable 12 oz. bottles encourages sipping this beer outside in the fading summer sun.
Final verdict: At $9 or $10 a six pack, I'd put this up against a lot of more expensive (and real) Belgian trippels. I'll buy it whenever I see it, which hasn't been a whole lot.

Lagarde Sees Subdued Global Growth as IMF Reviews Forecasts
Sandrine RastelloThe International Monetary Fund sees continued sluggish global growth as it reviews its economic outlook, Managing Director Christine Lagarde said.
"The IMF will release its updated forecasts in a few weeks," Lagarde said in a speech today at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington. "For now, let me say that while we are seeing some signs of recovery, global growth remains subdued."
The fund will release its new predictions Oct. 8, three months after cutting its global forecasts to 3.1 percent this year and 3.8 percent in 2014. Since then, developed economies such as the U.S. have become growth engines while some of their emerging-market counterparts decelerate, the fund staff said in a note to Group of 20 nations this month.
Speaking to reporters on yesterday's decision by the Federal Reserve to refrain from cutting back on monetary stimulus, Lagarde said the move was in line with the fund's advice for the U.S. economy.
"The IMF has always said that it should be gradual, that is should be based on data, with clear indication of what the criteria would be. We said it should be well communicated and we advocated a dialogue," Lagarde said. "So, clearly the decision that was communicated yesterday and the various comments made by the chairman show that it's exactly what we at the fund have advocated."
The Federal Open Market Committee yesterday didn't reduce the $85 billion pace of its monthly securities buying, spurring a rally in global equities as investors repositioned for a more accommodative central bank.
Lagarde also said the U.S. economy's growth rate would be below 2 percent this year, and about one percentage point more next year. The country must fix its public finances, amid political uncertainty about the budget and the debt ceiling, she said.

William Butler YeatsSelected Poems And Four PlaysWilliam Butler YeatsSelected Poems And Four Plays0004 Edition;QUALITY PAPERBACK
EAN: 9780684826462Release Date: 9/1/1996
Since its first appearance in 1962, M. L. Rosenthal's classic selection of Yeats's poems and plays has attracted hundreds of thousands of readers. This newly revised edition includes 211 poems and 4 plays. It adds The Words Upon the Window-Pane, one of Yeats's most startling dramatic works in its realistic use of a seance as the setting for an eerily powerful reenactment of Jonathan Swift's rigorous idealism, baffling love relationships, and tragic madness. The collection profits from recent scholarship that has helped to establish Yeats's most reliable texts, in the order set by the poet himself. And his powerful lyrical sequences are amply represented, culminating in the selection from Last Poems and Two Plays, which reaches its climax in the brilliant poetic plays The Death of Cuchulain and Purgatory.
Scholars, students, and all who delight in Yeats's varied music and sheer quality will rejoice in this expanded edition. As the introduction observes, ""Early and late he has the simple, indispensable gift of enchanting the ear....He was also the poet who, while very much of his own day in Ireland, spoke best to the people of all countries. And though he plunged deep into arcane studies, his themes are most clearly the general ones of life and death, love and hate, man's condition, and history's meanings. He began as a sometimes effete post-Romantic, heir to the pre-Raphaelites, and then, quite naturally, became a leading British Symbolist; but he grew at last into the boldest, most vigorous voice of this century."" Selected Poems and Four Plays represents the essential achievement of the greatest twentieth-century poet to write in English. |

Ammonia/Hydrogen Mixtures in an SI-Engine: Engine performance and analysis of a proposed fuel system
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
In recent years there has been increasing focus on using metal ammine complexes for ammonia storage. In this paper a fuel system for ammonia fuelled internal combustion engines using metal ammine complexes as ammonia storage is analyzed. The use of ammonia/hydrogen mixtures as an SI-engine fuel is investigated in the same context. Ammonia and hydrogen were introduced into the intake manifold of
a CFR-engine. Series of experiments with varying excess air ratio and different ammonia to hydrogen ratios was conducted. This showed that a fuel mixture with 10 vol.% hydrogen performs best with respect to efficiency and power. A comparison with gasoline was made, which showed efficiencies and power increased due to the possibility of a higher compression ratio. The system analysis showed that it is possible to cover a major part of the necessary heat using the exhaust heat. It is proposed to reduce the high
NOx emissions using SCR as exhaust after treatment.

A rose to Columbus Schools Superintendent Del Phillips, architect Chris Morrow of Pryor and Morrow architects, and contractors Steve and Ronnie West of West Brothers Construction, for the smashing success that is the new Columbus Middle School.
The sprawling, $19.1 million building was unveiled to teachers and the public this week. Everything in the building is new and top-notch, from the furniture in the classrooms to the kiln in the art studio. The school, just north of Columbus, admits students on Wednesday, after teachers move in Tuesday.
We were heartened by the turnout to two open houses on Wednesday and Thursday -- hundreds, if not thousands, of people toured the school. We saw senior citizens, parents who send their kids to private schools, and even educators from surrounding cities there.
We assume few were disappointed. We sure weren''t. The school is something for all of Columbus to be proud of.
A rose to the volunteers who make the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend in Columbus so special.
Dream 365, the series of concerts and volunteering opportunities, culminating with a Monday morning breakfast with special guest Ernest Green, has enjoyed good turnout so far.
While the comedy show featuring Mark Curry and Damon Williams on Friday night was the major draw, the weekend''s events aren''t over. A free gospel concert will be held at 5:30 p.m. today at Lee Middle School''s auditorium. And, the Monday breakfast with a keynote speech by Green, at 8:30 a.m. in the Trotter Convention Center, will no doubt be enlightening and motivating. Green is a member of the Little Rock Nine, the first group of students to integrate Little Rock, Ark.''s Central High School in 1957. Green, the first black graduate of the school, was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by President Bill Clinton.
We thank the weekend''s organizers for putting together such an impressive and enlightening event for Columbus.
A rose to the first responders across the Golden Triangle who found their hands full after the winter blast that blew snow and ice into the area Sunday and Monday.
Dozens of motorists found themselves sliding off slippery roads into ditches -- keeping police, sheriff''s deputies and state troopers, as well as EMTs and fire department workers, hopping until roads cleared later in the week.
Thankfully, there were no deaths on Mississippi roads caused by the storm. Things could have been far worse, locally and statewide.
We appreciate the speedy response and professionalism of our first responders, this and every week of the year.
A rose to Ernest Rogers, a Mississippi University for Women graphic design student who has an impressive line to add to his resume.
Green''s artwork was chosen for the poster for Columbus'' annual Market Street Festival. Main Street Columbus, which puts on the festival each year, has worked with MUW graphic design professor Robert Gibson for the past three years, giving art students some real-world training.
Rogers received $300, and his artwork will be featured on all promotional products for Market Street Festival 2011. Rogers, as well as second and third-place winners, also received VIP packages to the 16th annual festival, which will be held May 6-7.
A rose to Starkville''s C, who gives more than she gets on her birthday each year.
Fox, the dietitian for the Oktibbeha County Sheriff''s office, has served lunch each year on her birthday. The lunches started out as small affairs for sheriff''s office workers eleven years ago, but a good meal doesn''t stay under wraps for long. Eleven years later, around 100 attend the luncheon. Mississippi State University employees, city officials, Starkville police and members of Fox''s church are among those attending now.
Thursday, the crowd munched on roast beef and fried chicken, turkey and dressing, chicken and dumplings, and desserts of all kinds.
We''ll add our voice to the dozens wishing Fox a happy 64th.

If you're looking for a more adult, more dark and spicy cookie, this second recipe is for a more mature crowd. They are laced with real ginger and rum.
Gingerbread Cookies
barely adapted from Cook's Illustrated
yield: about 40 cookies
2 sticks butter, softened (I used salted)
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsulphured molasses + scant tbsp
1 large egg, room temperature
½ tsp salt
3 tsp ground ginger
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp allspice
½ tsp cloves
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
Sift in the flour and baking soda and beat at low speed until just combined.
Scrape down bowl, fold, and stir with a spatula to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Transfer your cookie dough to a plastic container and refrigerate for at least two hours or up to 2 days, until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and spread at least two inches apart on baking sheets that have either been lined with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or silpat.
Bake for 11-14 minutes. In the 11-12 minute range, the cookies will be softer. In the 13-14 minute range, a bit snappier. Either way, leave the cookies on their baking sheets to cool and firm up before moving them. [note: I have a convection oven and baked two sheets at a time with no negative consequences]
Cookies will keep for about one week in an airtight container at room temperature (if they last that long) or one month in the freezer. Unbaked dough can be kept in the freezer for up to two weeks and then baked when desired.
Chewy, Spicy Ginger Laced Cookies
3 tsp finely grated fresh peeled ginger
1 tbsp rum (optional)
3/4 cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ cup + 2tbsp molasses
1 ⅓ cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground cloves
2 tsp baking soda
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
First, optional, macerate the ginger for at least 20 minutes in rum.
Cream the butter, molasses, and sugar until light, airy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt and beat till well combined.
Add the grated ginger, rum (if using), ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves and mix until everything is smoothly incorporated, at least 2 minutes.
Sift in the flour and baking soda and mix until just combined.
I like to refrigerate this dough overnight to let the flavors really meld, but you can bake these cookies off immediately.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Form 1 inch balls of dough, spaced about two inches apart and bake for about 15 minutes. If you like your cookies snappier, lower the heat to 200°F after 13 minutes and cook them about 3-4 minutes longer.

Beer and Fitness?
Beer and Fitness? Can It Be?
I was once asked an interesting question concerning drinking beer and exercising. It seems that a former Navy Radioman had developed quite a gut since retiring, and was curious about whether he should give up his beer to lose weight? Not only did the gentleman enjoy drinking about 2-4 beers daily, he had also quit exercising. Moderate beer consumption is actually healthy, so I set out to define "moderate" as well as educate on the basics of caloric intake and caloric expenditure. The radioman was not suffering from a beer belly but an INACTIVITY BELLY! Yes, you can still drink beer and be very fit.
Over 90 million Americans enjoy drinking beer! Drinking moderately has been proven by many doctors, as well as the New England Journal of Medicine, to be a healthy component of longevity. In fact, moderate consumption of alcohol, including beer, has been proven to reduce the effects of high cholesterol, heart disease, some forms of cancer and even impotence.
Anything done in excess is naturally unhealthy. "Moderation" is defined by most doctors as 1-2 beers a day. And NO, you cannot save up through the week and catch up on the weekend drinking 10-12 beers in an evening. That is NOT moderation. There is even a US Beer Drinking Team that links beer enthusiasts and promotes moderation, responsibility, and healthy living.
The average can of beer has over 100 calories. Drinking one beer is equivalent to eating a chocolate chip cookie. Drinking four is equal to eating a Big Mac Hamburger. In order to lose weight, you have to burn off these extra calories as well as the other calories that you ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even the lightest of beers has the empty calories of alcohol, which is the cause of poor health if done in excess and without a regular exercise routine. Unfortunately, too many Americans live under one of the worst stereotypes placed on a human being - the BEER BELLY, or as I call it, the inactivity belly.
The "inactivity" belly is caused by excess calories in your diet AND lack of activity to burn the extra calories. The solution to lose your beer belly is as simple as calories in must be less than calories out (or expended through exercise).
Calories IN < Calories Out (burned) = Weight Loss
If you can add exercise into your schedule for 20-30 minutes a day, your daily consumption of alcohol (1-2 beers) will not have any additional impact on your gut. To lose your beer belly, you REALLY have to watch your food and beverage intake, drink 2-4 quarts of water a day, AND fit fitness into your world. THERE IS NO OTHER HEALTHY ANSWER! The exercise and workout ideas below can get you started on your calorie burning plan:
Workout #1
This is a great full body calorie burner:
Repeat 3-5 times
- Walk, run or bike 5:00
- Squats - 20
- Push-ups - 10-20
- Sit-ups or Crunches - 20
Workout #2
Swimming and elliptical gliding (cross country skiing) burn the most calories per hour (This workout can burn up to 1000 calories in one hour!)
- Swim 20-30 minutes non-stop
- Elliptical Glide 20-30 minutes
Read "Burn More Calories" for more information and tips.
There is no reason why you cannot have "six pack abs" and still drink a six pack a week. Once again, excessive beer drinking is not recommended by anyone in the health industry. If you simply enjoy drinking beer and are serious about your health, moderation in drinking alcohol and eating foods high in calories, combined with habitual daily exercise is your ticket to reaching your goals. I now have a series of Workout plans that cater to all levels of fitness and can help you with developing a healthy diet with proper food choices - the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced 45 Day plans sold on Military.com's Fitness eBook Store. For those who are into strength training, I have recently developed a weight training plan called "Beer and Barbells" that allows you to use the additional calories of beer, or milk shakes if you are under 21, to gain mass and strength.
Adding exercise daily and observing the dietary recommendations in these eBooks will enable you to be the person you were yesterday without changing who you are today.

My Hot Milf Neighbor and her Twin Daughters
Twins Revenge
I had been next door for about ten minutes. My swim trunks were around my ankles. My towel was in the grass. I could feel Mrs. Levi tongue swirl around my cock. I looked down to see her huge breast rub against my legs. She had almost all 9 3/4inches of my cock down her throat before she gagged and spit me out. She licked my big naked balls and put her index finger on my ass hole. I was close to cumming. She smiled as she inched her finger in my ass, and jacked my cock with her small hands. My knees buckled. I then shot a huge load into her mouth. Like a pro. She licked my cock clean.
"Mmm that was good Buck. How my favorite neighbor?" she said. I smiled. "Better now. Sorry it took me so long to come over. My parents were packing for there trip. They won't be home until late Monday night. I got the whole weekend to myself." I said. She smiled. "That's good news. My husband away with his fishing buddies all weekend. It's my turn to watch his girls. You remember the twins?" she giggled. Who could forget the twins. The two barely legal big boob blonde Barbies, with the perfect bodies to match. Big fake boobs, along with two huge ass's and not a inch of fat on them. Mrs. Levi caught me jerking off next to there fence as I watched them.
"It's your turn to watch them? How are they?" I said. "Yes! It's my turn to watch them. There good. They asked if your big cock has grown since the last time they saw you. I told them maybe. They can't wait to see you. They will be here in the morning." said Mrs. Levi. I looked down. My cock was getting harder. "Maybe we should go in the house. I hate for the neighbors to hear me orgasm again. We were both so loud last weekend. Come on baby. I need to feel you deep inside me again. My pussy been so wet thinking about you all week." said Mrs. Levi. I helped her off her lounge chair. We walked inside her house. Then upstairs to her bedroom.
The Next Day....
Her large breast smooched my head, as she rolled out of bed. She giggled as she saw my cock was semi erect. "Do you ever get enough? Does he ever stop?" she said. I smiled. Then flopped my cock side to side. She took along hot shower. I followed her, as she got ready. I slipped on some camouflage, knee length shorts. I then put on a white t-shirt. Mrs. Levi was wearing a stunning white/yellow sun dress, that showed off her killer curves. She had her dirty blonde hair, curled up in the back. She had some simple 4inch yellow heels on.
It was close to 11am when the front door bell rang. I walked down the hall to get the door. I looked through the small window, next to the big wooden door. The twins were outside. They had matching pink sweat suits, 4inch pink heels and there platinum blonde hair in pony tails. There were small pink ribbons in each of there side pony tails. My cock got instantly hard when I opened the door. They both gave me a big hug, mashing there huge fake breast in my hard chest. I gave each one a kiss on the cheek. They each grabbed my face, and kissed me until Mrs. Levi told them..."Ok! Girls! We have Buck all day. Come inside before he passes out." she giggled.
I grabbed the twins suitcases off the front steps. I followed all of them down the hall, back to the kitchen. "So Laci and Traci, How was your trip?" said Mrs. Levi. "It was fun. How are you?" said Traci. "I'm good. Did you bring your home work?" she said. "Maybe!" said Laci. "No! I forgot mind." said Traci. "I asked you both to bring some. Your falling behind at school. Ask me how I know?" said Mrs. Levi. "Hmmm!" the twins said. "Cause your principle called. She told me all about you two. How you both are in trouble allot at school. She even had to discipline you for seducing one of your teachers." said Mrs. Levi. I smiled. "What?" said Laci "Yeah! He came on to us." said Traci. "He's gay, your teacher likes men." said Mrs. Levi. They both giggled. "Sorry! We needed to get our grade up in his class. He straight as an arrow. Now way, he is gay." they both said. "I don't care. I did not tell your father. But!!!" said Mrs. Levi. "Oh! No! That a big butt.." the twins giggled. "I invited your principle over here, today. Girls!" said Mrs. Levi.
"What the fuck?" said Laci. "Yeah! What the fuck? How are we suppose to relax this weekend?" said Traci. "Listen! Mrs. White, sounded very nice on the phone. She should be here in about an hour. Can we all just get along?" said Mrs Levi. "Janet! Your killing us. We can't be nice to the enemy. We see her every day. She makes us zip our clothes up." said Traci. "Yeah! Pull our pants up. Remove our sexy makeup. She drives all the cute guys away from us, when we enter a room." said Laci. "End of discussion. Be nice or else. Plus we have Buck here all weekend. All to ourselves. So no kissing, sucking, and grabbing his big cock in front of Mrs. White. Do you both understand? You to Buck?" said Mrs. Levi. "Yes!" I said. "Mmmm...Ok!" said the twins.
"You two get dressed for today. Buck! Go outside and pullout the lounge chairs. Put some towels around the pool. I am going to get into my bikini. Move it." said Mrs. Levi. I walked outside and got everything ready. About twenty minutes later I walked back inside. Mrs. Levi was putting on a big white hat. She had on some big thick sun glasses, covering her eyes. She was wearing a tight one piece bathing suit. That was stretched over her voluptuous body. She had a black L over her left breast, on the white bikini. She was looking so hot. She had some 4inch wooden heels that were white. She had some big gold hoop earrings, and some gold bracelets around her wrist, on each arm, She smiled when she saw me. "Go upstairs and see what keeping the twins. Thanks sweetie. Remember to keep that cock in your shorts. I know those girls...." she said.
I walked upstairs. I could hear the twins laughing as I got closer to there room. I knocked on there door. "Come in." they said. I walked in. Both girls were putting on there matching pink two piece bikini's. They pulled there small g-string thong tights between there big firm ass crack. I could see they were both totally shaved now. I shaved them, the last time they were here. They tied there tops very tight. Both had trouble covering there big fat nipples. I struggled not to free my cock in front of them. I finally got behind them and help get there bikini's on straight. Both girls rubbed the fabric covering my cock and gave me a big wet kiss.
"Buck! Is Mrs. White here yet?" said Traci. "No! Your Step Mom asked me to help you guys get ready." I said. "Damn! I can see your hard cock under those shorts. Fuck!!! We both need some now baby. Drop those shorts. Let us see. She won't know." said Laci. I smiled. "Just a quick tease." said Traci. I quickly unvelcro my shorts. Fished out my hard cock. Both girls licked there lips. I then stuck my cock back in my shorts. "That was hot!" said Traci. "Yeah! Fuck! Buck! You know how to tease a girl. I see you shaved him again. Just like we like." said Laci. I smiled. "Anything for you two." I said.
"Anything!" said Laci. I nodded my head "Yes!" "We need your help today. We need to get our grades up in a few classes. Principle White is a real ball buster. She out to get us." said Traci. "That sucks! What can I do?" I said. They both looked at each other. Then smiled. "Were going to seduce Mrs. White. Then black mail her into giving us good grades." said Laci. "Hmmm!" was all I could say. "Yeah! She always checking us out. We think deep down she has the hots for us. She will be like pudding in our hands. We just need you to use that big tool on her." said Traci. "Fuck the shit out of her..." said Laci. "What about your Step Mom?" I said. "She will be so shocked and horny. She will come over to check out our little orgy." both girls giggled. My mouth dropped open.
I shut the twins bedroom door. There wooden heels clicked on the floor, in front of me. They each were only 5ft tall, but there heels made them 5ft 6. I could not stop following there big fat ass's, in there small thongs. I carried there pink towels and a big pink tote bag, as we walked out to the pool area. I could hear, Mrs. Levi talking to someone in the back yard. I closed the sliding glass door. She was standing at the far end of the pool. She had two big white towels on a lounges chair next to her. She was talking to a hot older lady. She was the same height as Mrs. Levi. Both were almost 5ft 10, in there heels. Mrs. Levi was wearing all white, while the other lady was wearing a red two piece bathing suit. With 4inch red heels. A sexy red robe hung on the back of her lounge chair.
As we got closer, I noticed the other lady making eye contact with me. She had dark blonde hair over her shoulders. She was wearing some super big gold hoop earrings. A big wedding ring on her left hand. She had some small tribal tattoos on her ankles. She had painted her finger and toenails red, to match her fiery red lips. Was this the twins principle? What the fuck had happened. I was expecting a old lady. Not a super hot MILF, with bigger curves than the twins, and Mrs. Levi combined. The front of her red bikini went past her waist. She had a huge set of cleavage stuffed in her small top. Her bottoms showed off her big thighs, and amazing large ass. She had tied her bottoms high on her hips. She smiled at the twins, and I stopped next to Mrs. Levi.
"Hi! Girls! We were just talking about you both. Glad you could come down and join us. Where my manners. Mrs. White this is our good next door neighbor. Buck! I'm watching him, while his parents our out of town. Buck! This is the twins Principle. Mrs. White." said Mrs. Levi. "Nice to meet you." I said. She smiled. "Hey! Mrs. White. You look so different, when your not at school." said Traci. "That for sure. Glad you could come by and see us." said Laci. I smiled again. "You both look so cute in those pink bikini's. Mine just arrived yesterday in the mail. I have mine specially made. Hello!! Its also nice to meet you young man. Mrs. Levi. You have such a nice house. I just love your back yard. I'm so happy I came today." said Mrs. White.
"Ring! Ring!" I could hear the phone inside the house. "I better get that. You Dad was suppose to call and see how my day was going. Please excuse me...." said Mrs. Levi. She turned to strut back into the house. All of us watched as she shut the sliding glass door.
"Where did you go to school? Buck!" said Mrs. White. "School of hard knocks." I said. The girls giggled. "That a new one for me." said Mrs. White. 'Did you really tell our Step Mom about Mr. Skyler?" said Laci. "He is a dirty old man." said Traci. "Girls! I had to tell your Step Mom. You both need to do better in school. You need to study harder and learn more." said Mrs. White. "He pulled out his old man cock and flashed us. Why did you tell our Step Mom, he's gay." said Laci. "You caught him flashing us. You gave him some big teaching award. Then you disciplined us." said Traci. "That was really fair." said Laci.
"Girls, that is in the past. Mr. Skyler is doing better now. We need to talk about your other failing grades. Your both doing bad in all 5 of your classes this quarter. I came here to tell your Step Mom, about your grades. Then we can come up with a plan to help you get your grades up. Nothing some hard work can't accomplish." said Mrs. White. "Wait! He's better know....Your kidding. Say What!! Is that why Mr. Skyler goes to your office after 4th period every day?" said Laci. "Is he flashing you? Ha ha ha!" said Traci. Mrs White blushed than tapped her heels on the cement. "Girls!!" yelled Mrs. White. They were both laughing very loud.
"We got a better idea Principle White." said Laci. "Yeah we do." said Traci. "What is it girls?" said Principle White. They both smiled at her. Then at me. "Let's just say, when we get done with you. You won't be telling our Step Mom or your husband about our bad grades." said the Twins. I watched as Traci placed her left hand on Mrs. White big ass cheek. Then Laci put her hand on Mrs. White other ass cheek. "Girls! What are you doing?" yelled Principle White. "Shut up!" said Laci. "Yeah! Shut up Principle White...Your nipples are getting hard under that bikini. We knew you wanted us, from the start. Stop struggling you old bitch!" said Traci.
They both started to spank Mrs.White big ass. Mrs. White was moaning, as each girl had a hand inside her bathing suit bottoms. Laci motion for me to join in. I inched closer. Mrs. White eyes got big as Traci pulled down my camouflage shorts. My 9 3/4 inch cock sprang out hitting my hard abs. I then felt Traci hand on my cock. "Girls! Not your young neighbor. My husband will be mad. Buck has such a huge cock. Please no!" said Mrs. White. The twins giggled as they took off Principle White top. Her over grown breast spilled out onto her chest. Damn they were big. Her breast extended to her thighs. Her huge fat nipples were now in each of the twins small mouths.
Principle White reached up to unhook the Twins pink bikini tops. They fell off there fake tits onto the cement. I looked down to see each Twin had a finger inside Mrs. White big hairy pussy. They were biting her big fat nipples. I walked around the back of Mrs. White. I reached around her waist, to grope her big fat breast. The girls giggled as I struggled to pick Mrs. White big breast in my hands. I finally scooped them up. They were falling over each of my big hands. I then put my hands on her hips. I pulled the strings on her bikini bottoms. Her tight red swim bottoms fell around her ankles. I then smacked my cock on her big ass. She kept moaning. I reached up to pull her dirty blonde hair. The Twins went right back to sucking on Mrs. White big breast.
A few minutes passed before I felt Mrs. White hand reach for my cock. I put both her hands on the small of her back, just above her big ass. This allowed the Twins to start to spank and suck hard on her breast. I wiped my cock the length of her ass crack. She looked over her shoulder. "God! His cock! Please!!!" said Mrs. White. "Fuck her Buck! Ram that big cock in her. Use our Principle. What that Mrs. White? He is bigger than your husband." said Traci. "He is bigger than that old douche Mr. Skyler. Fuck! Yeah! Ride him Principle White. Shake that fat ass. I though our Step Mom ass was big. You have the biggest ass ever Principle White." said Laci. I felt my cock inch pass Mrs. White tight pussy. It had been awhile or a long time since she had been fucked. Her tight pussy pushed me right out. I pushed on her upper shoulders.
A few minutes passed before I got all of my cock deep inside Mrs. White. She screamed. The girls were rubbing her big cunt lips on my cock. They each groped her pussy, my cock, and big naked balls as I fucked there Principle. A second later. Mrs. White arched her back. Her long hair hit my face. Her pussy clamped down on my cock. She than began to orgasm on my cock. The Twins giggled as there Principle gasped for air. I kept fucking Mrs. White. She reached up to grab the Twins big breast. They began to slap her face with there big breast. She was now bent over by the waist. I fucked Mrs. White from the back. The girls slapped there big breast in her face. I reached around to fondle Mrs. White big breast. I tugged on her nipples causing her to orgasm again on my cock.
"Girls! Oh my god! Buck! Stop! Stop! Let poor Mrs. White go. Hello!" yelled Mrs. Levi. I looked up with my cock buried in Mrs. White wet pussy. Mrs. Levi was standing in front of us. She had her hands on her big hips. She grabbed the Twins hair and pulled. They each stopped hitting Mrs. White with there big fake tits. "What are you doing to your Principle? Buck! Stop for a second." said Mrs. Levi. I stopped and grabbed Mrs. White by the waist. She stopped banging her pussy on my cock. She looked up. "Mrs. White are you Ok?" said Mrs. Levi. "Yes! I don't know what happen. As soon as you left. They attacked me. Him with his big cock and the twins with there big breast. I'm so lucky you came to save me." said Mrs. White.
My cock fell out of Mrs. White as she inched forward. The girls mouth were wide open. We were all speechless. Mrs. White then moved into Mrs. Levi arms. They both hugged as the twins and I stared at them. "It's Ok! Hush! I'm sure everything Ok now. Buck! Laci! Traci! Please apologize to Principle White." said Mrs. Levi. "I'm sorry. I guess.." I said. "What the fuck? Why do we have to say sorry?" said Traci. "Yeah! Like really!" said Laci. "Girls! She is your Principle. Say your sorry." said Mrs. White. The twins said something under there breath. It was not sorry. But there Step Mom, smiled. "Thank you. Damn I think I hear the phone again. I will be right back. Behave you three." said Mrs. Levi. She turned to strut back to the house.
The twins watched there Step Mom go in to the house. Principle White watched us turn our attention back at her. "I'm sure your Mom will be right back." she said. The twins smiled. They both ran over to Mrs. White. They grabbed her arms. They started to pull her toward the lounge chairs, I had pulled out around the pool earlier. "Come on Buck! We need your big cock again. Yeah! Principle White were not done with you just yet. Lieing to our Step Mom. You should be ashamed. You started this. Now were going to finish it." both girls laughed.
Laci pointed for me to sit on the lounge chair first. My cock was sticking straight up. They guided Mrs. White onto my cock. Her pussy slide down my shaft. I felt her grunt as all my cock was buried deep inside her. Her huge ass pushed on my abs. Mrs. White was facing forward. Laci was sucking Mrs. White big tits. I heard a camera click..."Click! Click!" 'Traci....What are you doing?" said Mrs. White. "Need some photos for your husband. I'm sure he love to see you fucking our good neighbor. Buck...and his big cock. Smile Laci. Yeah suck those huge fun bags. Bite those nipples...Yeah!" yelled Traci. She was standing in front of the lounge chair. Taking pics with her small camera. "You should post those when were done with her...Let all the kids and teachers in school. See what a big slut there principle is." laughed Laci.
For the next 15 minutes. They bounced Mrs. White tight pussy on my cock. She orgasm twice before I slapped her big ass. The twins grabbed Mrs. White and made her get on her knees in front of me. I stood up in front of them. Laci grabbed Mrs. White left hand. She then started to tug on my cock. "Stroke that monster. Cum all over her huge breast. Mrs. White is a cum lover. Blast her face." yelled the girls. I looked down. Mrs. White opened her mouth. My knees moved. I then watched as the tip of my cock exploded. The first shot hit Mrs. White upper lip. The next her right eye brow. Traci was clicking more pic of my cock erupting on there principle. I kept cumming.
Once she was covered. Laci grabbed my cock. She wiped it all over Mrs. White face and big breast. "Suck it! Suck it. Clean it Principle White. Yeah!! I think she likes it." said Traci. Mrs. White was covered in sperm. She started to lick her lips. Traci tossed me the camera. Then the twins started to scoop up my sperm. The fed it into Mrs. White hungry mouth. Then they pushed Mrs. White breast to her face. She then licked her self clean. "Quick lets all get in the hot tub, before your Mom comes back. We can all get clean." I said. The twins smiled. They grabbed Mrs. White arms again. She made little protest as we walked her down to the hot tub.
The hot tub was left of the house. It was enclosed by a small fence. There was just enough room for 6 people. I put the small camera on the wooden deck surrounding the hot tub. I smiled as the twins put me in the middle next to Mrs. White. Traci sat next to me. Laci sat next to Mrs. White. I looked around. All the girls huge breast floated in the water. We were all naked. Mrs. White was making out with Laci. I was making out with Traci.
A few minutes passed...
I then felt Mrs. White hand on my cock. Traci and Laci got out of the hot tub. They sat on the edge. Each of them fingering there bald pussies. I picked up Mrs. White. She slide down my cock. I then started to suck and bite her huge breast. I wrapped them around my face as she bounced on my cock. Mrs. White put her hands on my shoulders. The water was lapping up on her hips as she rode my cock. I started to bite her thumb size nipples. She orgasm on my cock. I then felt my cock exploded deep inside her. We started to make out. She sat on my cock, until her pussy drained all the sperm from my cock. I then heard the sliding glass door to the back of the house closed. The twins licked there pussy fingers. Then fell into the hot tub. We took the same positions in the water again. Mrs. White took her hand off my cock. We heard some heels click on the wood, toward the hot tub.
I looked up. Mrs. Levi was back. "I wonder were everyone went. I thought I heard some noise over here. OMG...Is everyone naked??? Well??" said Mrs. Levi. "You know the rules Mom. Off with it." said Traci. I turned to see Mrs White smile. She was looking up at Mrs. Levi. I then saw Laci hands under the water rubbing Mrs. White pussy. I then felt Traci hand on my cock. She was stroking my cock as her Mom. Started to take off her white bathing suite. "Everyone close there eyes, until I get under the water." said Mrs. Levi. I half closed my eyes. The twins and Mrs. White kept there open. "Mmmm the water feels nice." said Mrs. Levi.
I opened my eyes. Now 4 sets of huge breast floated in the hot tub. Mrs. Levi hit the bubbles on the hot tub. She smiled as she sent Traci next to Laci. She got between Mrs. White and I. I had nobody on my right side. "So Principle White. Are you enjoying yourself? Is everyone getting along?" said Mrs. Levi. I smiled. Then everyone smiled. "Yes! The twins and Buck have been so nice. I asked them if we could go in the hot tub. It's nice to relax. My job is very stressful." said Mrs. White. "I'm glad." said Mrs. Levi.
About an hour later. Mrs Levi and Mrs. White got out of the hot tub. We had to promise to close our eyes. I heard the girls giggle. I watched there Principle and there Step Mom dry each other off. I then watched them go into the house. A second later. The twins grabbed my hard cock. I took turns fucking them in ever possible position in the hot tub. It was close to 2 hours later, that we got out of the hot tub and headed inside the house. Traci went back to get her camera. I then followed the twins upstairs.
My head turned. The twins giggled. We walked down the hall toward there Mother's bedroom. We each peeked inside. Mrs. White was on all fours on Mrs. Levi king size bed. Mrs. Levi was behind her. Fucking Mrs. White with a huge strap on. "Fuck! Fuck! Harder! Harder!" yelled Mrs. White. "Yes! Yes! Your going to tutor my step daughters. Your going to pass them in all there classes??" moaned Mrs. Levi. "Fuck! Yes! Just keeping fucking me." moaned Mrs. White. I reached down to grab the camera from Traci hand. I clicked a few pics of there Principle and there Step Mom having wild sex. I then felt the twins grab my cock.
A short wile late.... I heard the front door to the house close. Then some heels click on the wooden floor leading to the twins room. Traci was on my right side. Laci on my left. There were just getting done cleaning my cock. The both laid down in my arms as there bedroom door opened. "I order us some pizza. Why don't you all take a shower and come down stairs. We can eat, than take turns fucking Buck.
The following Saturday...a week later...
My parents left me alone again. This time they left Saturday morning. I looked over at my neighbors. I saw a small mini van in there driveway. I got dressed quickly. I then walked next door. I knocked on the door. "Hey sexy Buck..." said Mrs. Levi. She was standing in the door way. She was wearing a tight grey skirt. A white button down blouse. That was wide open. Her big breast exposed. She had a 12 inch ruler in her left hand. A big red apple in her right hand. She had some reading glasses on her nose. She smiled. "When are you folks coming back?" she said. "Not until Monday." I said. "Come in. I hope you brought your thinking cap today." she giggled.
I followed Mrs Levi into her living room. The furniture was pushed to one side. There were 3 small desk lined up in a row. The twins were sitting in the first two. They each had matching pink shirts on. One said "Slut!" the other "Bitch!" Both were naked from the waist down. They were looking straight ahead. I then looked up. There was a big chalk board in front of them. I smiled. Mrs. White was standing in front of the chalk board. She was writing a math problem on the board. She was wearing knee high black stockings, matching black garters. Some 6inch black heels. No bottoms, and just a black corset around her waist. Her huge breast rested exposed over her waist. She smiled as she saw me standing in the back of the living room, with Mrs. Levi.
"I brought you a new student.. Principle White.." said Mrs Levi. "Buck! Were almost finished with our Math lesson. Your just in time to join my sex ed class. Please take a seat upfront." said Mrs. White. I sat in the small desk. The twins giggled. They saw my cock was stick straight out under my desk. "Mrs. Levi can you come to the head of the class. I need you to measure something for me. Bring your ruler. Buck lie on your back." said Principle White.....

A "breast" doesn't have "nipples", but "breasts" do.

Even trouble between "than" and "then". And periods and commas are NOT interchangeable.

You don't seem to use "s" for plural or " 's " for possessives.

About two weeks ago, I was working with my English language arts class on a literary analysis essay they were peer editing. One student's partner had to leave class early, so I encouraged the two of them to work together at home electronically via email or some other program; one of the students replied, "Yeah, no problem, we can just do it over Skype."
Right about that same time, this article appeared in the Denver Post in which it reported on the use of the internet by minority populations. Even though the article focused on race, I suspect there is a certain amount of socioeconomics that factors in as well, particularly since it refers to the use of smartphones and the like to access the internet which are much less expensive than a computer, particularly if given the choice between a phone with internet access included or a computer with internet access as a financial add-on. While a smartphone can get you online, you can still do more online with an actual computer, and that seemingly small difference is actually pretty huge.
I think part of the issue is also simply training and awareness of the potential represented by an online presence. The potentialities for the relay of information became incredibly apparent during the recent State of the Union speech by President Obama. As has been the case for many years now, there was a simple television broadcast carried by the various networks. However, for anyone with an online presence and who was interested, the experience became completely and totally different. The White House had a live streaming feed alongside of which was space alloted for graphs, images and so forth (The tag line: "Watch and Engage.") After the speech, various members of the White House staff took questions via Twitter and Facebook.
The Sunlight Foundation not only had a live stream of the speech via C-Span, but also had a live blog going on via Cover It Live with various journalists and others posting comments; questions; links to sites, files, and videos as a means to "fact check" the speech even as it was occurring as well as a live Twitter feed and posting of graphs and the like on the page as well. Anyone without internet access or who was busy watching cute kittens on YouTube was out of the conversation and denied the access to the information that was being shared. Now more than ever, it holds true that those without an online presence are simply not a part of the conversation.
It is not enough to teach our students how to use Power Point or how to use a word processing program. It is not enough to tell them about Facebook or Twitter. We must teach them how to use these (and other) tools to their advantage; we must show them the potentialities of the web beyond entertainment. We must close the new digital divide.

Gonna watch mlp ep 1&2, happy?
You make it sound like you're doing somepony else a favour. xP
You watch it if you like, but let me tell you this: The first 2 episodes might not really make you get into it ( I tend to hear sometimes it requires a special episode to get you into liking it, for example: Some friend of mine didn't like it until Dragonshy).
My friends threatened me, I might start watching it a little, grats you've got yourself a brony.
Oh god haven't played that game in like a year or two.

Industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are applied to issues of critical relevance to business, including talent management, coaching, assessment, selection, training, organizational development, performance, and work-life balance.
Respondents input the percentage of time interns spend performing 17 tasks (see Table 2). To ensure the average time spent on these tasks was not underestimated, means were calculated based only on those organizations in which the task was performed. The most frequent tasks include data analysis (23%), developing training courses (19%) and/or selection assessments (15%), project management (16%), report writing (16%), and job analysis (15%). Other tasks (written in by respondents) included general consulting, survey administration and analysis, and other miscellaneous research. The most infrequent tasks performed were making and developing presentations and test administration.
Furthermore, interns in external consulting organizations spend the majority of their time analyzing data, conducting validation studies, writing reports, developing training courses and/or selection assessments, and directing client contact (e.g., conduct focus groups) while interns in internal consulting organizations conduct job analyses, analyze data, manage projects, collect data, write reports, and develop selection assessments. While there is some overlap in the most frequent tasks, the differences are notable.

What does this mean for internship seekers? Intern job responsibilities vary from organization to organization, but at a minimum, expect to analyze data. Depending on the nature of the internship, you may also develop training courses, conduct job analyses, manage projects, write reports, and develop selection assessments. You will probably not be involved in test administration and developing or making presentations. Understanding the differences between the tasks performed by interns in internal and external consulting organizations may help you make a better decision about your internship experience.

Scottsdale, Ariz., police are looking for a man who snatched the purse of a Phoenix television host and fled in an SUV.
3TV reports Lisa Haffner was pushing a shopping cart in the parking lot of a Safeway store on Sunday afternoon when a man drove up behind her.
Haffner says the man reached out of a Cadillac Escalade, grabbed her purse and knocked her over with the cart, sending groceries flying across the pavement.
Haffner wasn't hurt, but says she immediately thought of 21-year-old Kyleigh Sousa, who was dragged to death in 2010 when a man inside a car grabbed her purse and fled with her tangled in the purse's strap.
A 22-year-old man was convicted of first-degree murder and is serving life in prison.

Not sure what to think about this. If he could stay out of trouble he would be an ok fit for the price. However, with the exception of last season with GB, he has been in trouble quite a bit. May be worth the gamble for what little money he should command.
I don't know if he has #2 talent anymore, maybe.
He definetely has as much talent as any #2 we have now!! I still don't think we have a #1. I know Bowe is the guy now but in my opinion, he isn't a legit #1 as of yet. Just don't know if CP will take a chance on a guy like Robinson. My guess would be no but who knows.
No thanks. I'd be shocked if they went after this guy. Very shocked.
We have absolutely no chance of getting him or going after him.
Desperation can cause unexpected actions. I doubt he is, but if Carl is under any pressure to put immediate results on the field he may take a flyer on K-Robinson. Additionally Robinson has shown talent as a returner in the past.
Looks like another headache the Chiefs don't need.
not worth the headaches. just stick with the young guys.

I chose a simple free motion pattern for the quilting, used a bright variegated thread, and it looks quite cute don't you think?
The coordinating fabric isn't from the same range as the jelly roll, but it goes quite well. I purchased a metre (which is about a yard and three inches). It's used for the squares, the binding, and I had a small chunk left to piece into the back.
The backing fabric with the spots was already in my stash - I think I got it on a super bargain at Spotlight. I think around $4.00 a metre or so - almost used that up entirely as well. Happy days!
And in matters completely unrelated:
On Wednesday I was going through my pantry, and found a baggie of bread flour that I'd forgotten. So many bloggers have chattered about making bread - and it has been a little while for me, so I got busy. I used Judy Laquidara's recipe, but I know I made a bit of a boo boo with the flour - I put a little too much in and the dough was a little dry.
Here's the bread getting ready to rise in the dining room - it's often warmest there in the middle of the day.
And here are the finished loaves - the kids just love fresh bread. There really is nothing like it. and it didn't last long!
And given that I'm chattering about food and pantry stuff ... a blog that I read semi-regularly is the Frugal Girl. She has inspired me to think more about how much food we waste in this house - and how many things I purchase on impulse when I'm at the grocery store.
To try and combat this, I've decided I'll start menu-planning for the week, and as a result maybe I'll keep better tabs on my spending. My grocery shop was on Tuesday evening so I started with Wednesday's evening meal:
Wednesday - Steak and Salad
Thursday - Chicken and Salad
Friday - Chicken and Bacon Soup
Saturday - Roast Beef
Sunday - Chicken Stir Fry
Monday - Meatloaf
Tuesday - Leftovers
So far it's all working and I hope I can keep it up. I think what I'll find hardest is getting a good bunch of basic recipes to work from - I'm definitely no gourmet! Does anyone have any experience with menu planning, using leftovers, or an amazing recipe to share? I'd love to hear from you! xox

| Google+ brings pan and scan functionality to high-res photos Even point-and-shoot and cellphone shooters have double-digital megapixels nowadays, and Google+ is now letting you take advantage of all that resolution. It's brought photo pan and zooming capabilities, meaning that if you've uploaded a decently large photo, all that users in your circle or community will need to do is click it to bring up the lightbox, where they can proceed to explore all of an image's nooks and crannys. Since Google+ now supports full-sized Android photo backups, that'll give vacationers or artists a new way to let others discover their handiwork -- or other surprises.

Start-up Offers Top Level Domains
Upstart start-up New.net steps outside the ICANN canon.
In what can only be called a gutsy move, Pasadena, Calif.-based startup New.net Inc., recently released its first 20 new top-level domains (TLDs), stirring up the potential to create mass confusion in the Internet marketplace that assigns web addresses.
.chat |
.club |
.family |
.free |
.game |
.gmbh |
.hola |
.inc |
.kids |
.law |
.ltd |
.med |
.mp3 |
.shop |
.soc |
.sport |
.tech |
.travel |
.video |
.xxx |
The recently created domain name registry, launched in May, 2000 by Internet incubator idealab!, claims that it is only giving the marketplace what it wants. "We believe that there is a tremendous unmet demand for sensible, meaningful names beyond the current naming," says a New.net spokesman, referring to what some people in the industry consider the bogged down process of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
The first 20 TLDs being released by New.net are, .chat, .club, .family, .free, .game, .gmbh, .hola, .inc, .kids, .law, .ltd, .med, .mp3, .shop, .soc, .sport, .tech, .travel, .video, and .xxx. The TLDs became available on March 5 and the process for purchasing a domain name simply entails completing an online form at the New.net website (www.new.net) and paying a $25 per year fee, according to the company. Domain names using the initial set of extensions are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
"New.net has some major backers and we're hearing some interesting prognosis and speculation about the marketplace," says Brian O'Shaughnessy, spokesman for VeriSign Inc., the Mountain View, Calif.-based provider of domain name services. However, he adds, "It's all still on the drawing board."
What New.net offers the marketplace that other aspiring domain name registrars working outside the purview of ICANN don't is a new technology approach and the support of major ISPs such as EarthLink, Excite@Home, and NetZero, another idealab! outfit.
"We're the only company to have introduced both a browser and network-based solution that enables consumers to access all of the new domain names while still working within the existing ICANN-sanctioned Internet systems," says the New.net spokesman. He also notes that the company's initial base of exclusive ISP partnerships will strengthen access and use of the new domains by businesses and consumers.

Sure a lot of us fans hurt when Tim Duncan's name comes up. He was supposed to be the next great Celtic. But instead of harping on the negative of Boston not obtaining him in the 1997 draft (I still remember that lottery day like yesterday), let's take a moment to respect this legend and what he has meant to us.
He helped the Spurs sweep the Lakers out of the 1999 playoffs en route to their first title. An utter dominant performance in that second round series. In 2003 he lead the Spurs to knock out the Lakers again and prevent any nonsense of a potential Laker 4 peat. If not for his heroics, and the awesomeness of the Pistons in 2004, we as Celtic fans might officially be the second most storied franchise in the NBA, trailing in all time titles.
Trust me I wish we could've watched him for his career. But he helped us out in other ways. A big thanks to Tim Duncan for his greatness. tb727 1/12/2010 11:18:00 PM Tweet Edit

The greater the distance between a user's action and the system's reaction, the more you need to emphasise the relationship between the action and the reaction.
Distance can be measured in space, or in time.
A set of short, easily digested learnings from the world of Interaction Design, inspired by "101 Things I Learned in Architecture School", by Matthew Frederick
Odd way of putting it, but yes, feedback is fundamental.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, I think they are trying to be a little deeper then that, by suggesting that the level of feedback to an action has to correspond to where or when the reaction occurs. For example, a "please wait" or "working" type staller is appropriate in a web form when the reaction will be somewhat delayed, but not when the delay is ordinary (short).
ReplyDelete@paulie right on. I actually had to stop and think for a second because I think that most UX designers have this so ingrained that it's like breathing.
Especially on the web, users tend to treat all non-addressed pauses as a connection error so it's vital that we let them know that something is happening.

A study of high-frequency errors present in digitized accelerograms and an analysis of the distribution of unequally spaced, hand-digitized data indicates that the Fourier content of digitized accelerogram. data may be accurate up to about 25 cps. Two methods for accelerometer instrument correction are described: (1) a direct numerical differentiation of recorded accelerograms from which high-frequency digitization errors have been filtered out and (2) an ideal "mathematical accelerometer" with a natural frequency significantly higher than the natural frequency of the recording instrument. Although both methods give good results, the first one is recommended for the standard use.

First of all I need to congratulate Obama for a big win last night. I know a lot of you aren't happy about it so I am sorry for your loss. Though obviously I disagree with some of your stances. Very rarely do I use real life examples to prove my points but I have some that I would like to share with you.
So back to the whole homosexuality issue. I know I've talked about it a lot and you're probably tired of hearing what I have to say. I'm just so passionate about it though. It's frustrating knowing you are right about something and having others not seem to get it. Of course we all think we're right though.
The Center at Blessed Sacrament (my work) is a place where people who have been issued community service hours can come and work. For the past few months we've had a guy from england who happens to be gay come do his hours at the center. As we were going around Los Angeles picking up pastry donations from various Starbucks yesterday we got to talking about the election. Never have I met someone so much against Romney as he was. It became clear to me that he is only against him because of his stance on homosexuality. I don't think he knew much else about politics. But I understand how one issue can be the deciding factor in an election. He can't vote though because he's not an American citizen. He was almost in tears as he was explaining to me how heartbreaking it is that other people think his "lifestyle" is wrong. He is one of the lucky ones to actually be married but a lot of people aren't because there's this book called the Bible that says you can't lye with a man the same way you lye with a woman and for some reason the government thinks they get to decide on the definition of marriage.
Come on people! When will you learn? I seriously want to cry when I hear someone say homosexuality is wrong. I don't care how intelligent your other politics are, if you aren't capable of acknowledging the worthiness of another's sexual preference I don't want to listen to anything else you have to say because you clearly have some faults that you need to deal with first.
Here's another real life example I would like to share. Recently a transgender woman has been coming into the center and participating in our groups. (A male who dresses as a woman and who gender identifies as a woman). I would say she's been coming in for a little over a month now. From the beginning I decided that I was going to make a conscious effort to treat her like a normal person and not look at her in a judgmental way. Now obviously that's what one should do, but believe it or not I'm not perfect and still get a little weirded out by transgender/transsexual people. I know, I really shouldn't. Anyway she has mentioned that ever since she started coming in to our center she is feeling very good about life. Even her health has drastically improved. She said nobody treats her bad and is making great friendships. For someone like that I think that that is what we're (the center) all about. Building community for people who can't necessarily build community outside of the center because people are judgmental assholes. Pardon my french but when I'm passionate about something I curse.
This morning this woman said something that made a really good point. Here is basically what she said, "The other day a black man was calling me names like fag and and saying other mean things to me and it really hurt me. Now him and I grew up in a time when there were water fountains just for white people. I just don't understand how someone who had been so discriminated against can be so discriminatory himself."

General Hospital's James Franco Gets a Golden Globe Nod!!
Ahahaha, like that? "General Hospital's James Franco"--- I think the PR department should TOTALLY USE IT!!!
As expected he nabs a nomination for his turn in "127 Hours". The film itself didn't snag a Best Picture nod however. Interesting... however, it did get it for adapted screenplay.
The most surprising thing in today's announcements is that "The Tourist" is up for so many--As a COMEDY OR MUSICAL!! WTF is up with that? Who paid for that sheeze?? Johnny Depp is even competing against himself with "Alice in Wonderland" for best actor in a comedy or musical.
On the TV side, I'm happy for "Mad Men" and "The Walking Dead"... Modern Family, Tina Fey...yada yada. I'm also glad Jennifer Love Hewitt got it for "The Client List" because I so like her in "The Ghost Whisperer" (never should have been canned, imo)
Trent Reznor for music in "The Social Network"!! NICE....
MOST BIZARRE: Get this, Angie Jolie for "The Tourist" is up against Emma Stone for "Easy A"..in what universe would this happen? LOL.
All Noms on USA Today.

Good morning. I love to come here to see what news you have. Since I still love my show at heart but can hardly stand the re-writes of history, you are my source. You also turned me on to OLTL (THANKS).
This morning I read on another site that they will have Liz begging for cord blood from Sam's unborn child which will lead to a shocking reveal . . . really, will Guza go there? I guess perhaps yesterday's dig at NOTHING coming out of their one night together was some sort of foreshadowing for him . . . for me it was the end of an era of being a fan of GH.
Thanks for at least giving me OLTL to enjoy, that is something! - December 14, 2010 at 9:51 AM

I think that's a rumor right now about the cord blood, but could be. ;/ it could be a way to get Jason and Liz talking again or even in the same dang orbit! LOL
- December 14, 2010 at 10:22 AM
I think if Franco loses we should all chip in and give him a Golden Fronkey :)
- December 14, 2010 at 12:29 PM
I hope that you are right about it getting them in the same orbit.
I am one of those "old school" GH fans. I don't only like couples, etc. but I love history to be used. I have enjoyed pretty much every character (except a few useless newbies) at some point in their stay at GH. I don't need Liz and Jason to be a couple, necessarily, but they have a son. They walked away from each other because of a lifestyle choice and told each other they would always love one another. Have they moved on (well, Jason at least) . . . yes, does that mean they forget their child/history? No. Give Liz the new doctor or bring back Taggert for me, er, I meant her, of course! LOL
Thanks again for the great site - I am a total WUBS FREAK! - December 14, 2010 at 1:01 PM
karen, are you a liason fan or jasam fan?
- December 14, 2010 at 3:33 PM

Honestly, I am neither a Jasammmer or a Lisaonite. I like Becky with Steve and I like Kelly with Steve but in different ways. I just want them to tell the stories in a GOOD way!! GH just drops stuff too much.

Attack a driver, get them out of the car, drive away. See? I've never done it, and I'm basically an expert. Oh, there's one other thing: Make sure you can drive the car you're stealing. That's key. Advertisement Last March, Anthony Reynolds of Newark, NJ decided to carjack a man driving a Porsche 911 Turbo. Reynolds appears to be a man of discerning taste. It seems he appreciates history and the precision that only a 911 can offer. He just can't afford one, so he had to get it through other means.Unfortunately, he wasn't adequately prepared to take full advantage of the full power of the 911 Turbo: Reynolds couldn't operate the mystical technology known as a manual transmission. While his accomplice sped off in a stolen BMW, Reynolds ground gears and then took off on foot. Advertisement He was caught quickly by police that were flagged down by the Porsche's owner. Reynolds was just sentenced to 55 months behind bars. This isn't official, but I believe that only eight of those months are for trying to steal a car at gun point.
