Utah Jazz 2010 Media Day Megapost: Returnees Part 1
I was so happy to see Andrei Kirilenko at Media Day. Even as I kept thinking to myself, "Dude, your hair is terrible," happiness just kept washing over me in waves.
AK's hair has gone from bad to worse. He is now sporting Cheryl from Dancing with the Stars' hair (I know there's something wrong with the punctuation there), a style which I've seen referred to as "mophead." And he looks like Shaggy.
But who cares…AK's here, and I literally could. not. be. happier. Seriously, it's all rainbows and sunny days over here. Anyway, I imagine that some of you out there don't care for hair talk, so moving on…
Coach: [re roster turnover] "I always believe you can win. If you don't have the attitude that you think you can win, why be in it? … Our job doesn't change. You can talk about who's supposed to be here and who's doing what. Bottom line is our coaching staff has got to do the best we can to try to be competitive, whoever we coach. No excuses, just go play."
–[When he went back to his farm] "We had a 50th class reunion which was quite revealing. I didn't know I looked so bad. I thought I was going to look better than everybody but I looked like I was 90 years older than everybody."
–He was elated to go back to the Hall of Fame (for Karl) and not have to make a speech or do anything else.
–"I was shocked [by Jeremy Evans' artistic talent] and I was really excited for him because he's a wonderful guy. He works hard, he's got some talent, and it'll be fun to watch him grow."
–"[The players] have been playing pickup games. Watching them a little bit here and there, they play their pickup games about as hard as anybody I've had."
Returnees Part 1
Deron: "Raja's definitely going to help us defensively. Hopefully, his mentality will rub off on some of the younger guys…CJ, Gordon…makes them tougher, makes them compete harder."
–[You like that thought of what you saw in the papers (regarding AK trade)?]* "I didn't see the paper. I don't read papers. You know that."
*Did that guy seriously ask if Deron likes the idea of AK being traded? Am I hearing him wrong?
–[Is AK underrated in the way he's able to change games?] "Definitely. I don't think there's anybody on the team that can do the things he does. Pass the ball, with his height, with his skillset, block shots…he brings a different set of intangibles than anybody on this team."
–[You spent the summer in a new location…] (sarcastic) "Dallas, apparently."
–[What was your best foursome of the summer?]: "I had two good ones…might've been just three. Me, Jarron [Collins], and Memo played, and then me, Mo Williams, and Memo played one day…and then the day before I left, me, Mo and David Justice played. He was one of my favorite baseball players growing up, so that was cool."*
*In case anyone needs clarification, they were talking about golf.
–"I'm really impressed with Jeremy Evans. Really, really impressed. (Deron was apparently the fourth Jazzman to say that.) He just needs to add 20 lbs., and he'll be a monster. Oh my gosh. I've never seen anyone jump like that. He jumps so quick. He goes after the ball. Just ridiculous. … It's like he can jump three times before you jump once."
AK: [Do you think you'll be wearing a Jazz uniform the next couple of days?] "I hope so…look, for the last ten years, there's so many rumors [about] me, so I can end up with any team in the NBA, but I'm still a Jazzman."
—"I don't want to be traded, I'm not traded, I'm in a Jazz uniform, so that's the bottom line." / "My kids (are) growing up here. My family set some roots here and I don't want to be traded. I want to be here, and I want to be part of the Jazz. I have so many friends who are cheering for the Jazz. I don't want to let them down."
–AK left his family in France and returned to Russia by himself a month ago to train with his coach.
–[Does the prospect of playing more "4" excite you?] (laughs) "I always said Coach Sloan doesn't have to ask me to stay on the floor on 3, [he can] just tell me, 'Andrei, you're '4' today.' So it's simple as that. I can play 2, 3, 4 in almost any game in the NBA, depends on the team."
–[Do you have a preference?] "No, I don't have preference. The beauty of the team is when you see the other team and work it out. If they have Tim Duncan, probably not a good idea to put me on the 4, but for other guys you can be faster, you can be stronger, you can be more versatile, so it depends on the [opponent], you can prepare for them."
Fes: "Deep, deep in my heart I'm a Jazzman. All this summer, I knew I was going to come back. I couldn't imagine my career without Jerry."
–"My goal was never being [a] backup … It's a new team. Everybody will have the same chances. I'll fight for the starting spot and we'll see what's going to happen. … It's coach's call; I'm here to play."
–Fes has lost 25 lbs. Oh, and he has a pretty smile (pictured above):

|OKLAHOMA'S�eGOV NEWS REPORT
Welcome to Oklahoma's new eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly eGov News Report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
Open Books allows the citizens of Oklahoma, as well as anyone in the world with Internet access, to view the finances of the State of Oklahoma. The Web site was designed to be user-friendly with intuitive controls.
For example, citizens can find payments made to vendors where the total fiscal year expenditures exceeded $25,000 and are processed through the Office of State Finance. Every state employee's monthly salary is available for review and can be located by employee name, agency or function of government. One can also find out what taxes and revenue go to support a certain agency. One can also do the reverse and determine what agencies or programs a certain tax goes to support.
In addition to these functions there is useful information about the State's budget, the appropriation process, a glossary of terms, pie charts showing the State's revenue sources and the principal agencies that receive the largest part of the State's revenue.
Everyone is invited to review the Web site and provide feedback. We would like to know what you liked; what you didn't like, and what you would like to see. Answers to your questions about Oklahoma's finances are just a few mouse clicks away.
Search the state's financial data at OpenBooks.ok.gov
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is pleased to announce that OKCareers, the new electronic on-line employment application, applicant tracking and certification program, is now available for use by state agencies and applicants for state employment. Some of the features of OKCareers include:
• An online employment application that may be completed using any internet browser at any time.
• Electronic submission of resumes, transcripts, certificates, veteran's preference materials and other applicant-related materials. These materials may be viewed by authorized agency staff when they receive an online certified list of applicants from OPM.
• Listings of specific vacancies in state agencies for classified job titles. No longer will new job postings appear only on Wednesdays. OPM can list these vacancies as soon as the requisition has been reviewed and approved.
• Once the application has been completed, interested applicants may copy it into other listed vacancies for which they wish to apply.
In the near future, OPM will also begin Merit System employment testing through OKCareers. Because OPM will have the ability to deliver tests online (and without sacrificing any security), OPM hopes to expand statewide test sites. Until then, however, OPM will continue to provide electronic testing in the Oklahoma City office and "paper and pencil" testing at the CareerTechs, universities and the local office of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission in Tulsa that provided testing services previously.
Web site�Provides Tools and Resources to "Grow in Oklahoma"
"Tobacco Stops With Me" campaign ads, fact sheets and press release can be viewed on the new Web site. The Web site will continue to develop over the next few months including increased content and the opportunity for Oklahomans to share their personal experiences related to tobacco through e-mail and video testimonials. Also, more interactive visitor engagement features such as polls, calendar items, event information, photos and zip code searches for community organizations creating a tobacco free Oklahoma will be added.
Funding for the campaign is provided by the Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust with technical assistance from the Oklahoma State Department of Health Tobacco Use Prevention Service. The "Tobacco Stops With Me" campaign will be independently evaluated by the University of Oklahoma College of Public Health.

State Plants "Seeds" for Oklahoma Kids
State Treasurer Scott Meacham and the state of Oklahoma are pleased to be part of this program, and help plant a "seed" for the future of Oklahoma kids. Funding for SEED OK accounts is generously provided by the Ford Foundation. Research partners for the study include the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis and RTI International.

Mormon Soaking
Mind you, not as is not to say not at all. There's these funny little things like having to buy real beer (more than 3.2% alcohol) at a state liquor store, everyone is married with children even if they're significantly younger than me, and there's a rather schizophrenic personality to the citizens: you're either Mo-Mo and happy-go-lucky or you ain't and you're damn fucking proud of it.
I digress. Mormon soaking.
So here it is: because Mormons are against pre-marital sex, many of the "good" Mormons make it to their twenties as virgins. Heaven help them, they're hell bent on staying a virigin. But...we all know sex feels really really good. Add to it that it's forbidden and now you have a group of hormonally-saturated, unfulfilled virginal, twenty-something-year-olds going off to college, namely Brigham Young University.
See where this is going? How do you have sex without having sex?
You have "soaking," that is, you put your dick in her vagina but you don't move. Not even a single pump, rub, wiggle or jiggle. Nothing. You just lay there, soaking.
Like I said, I wish I was making this up.
I can't in good faith say I've ever experienced this phenomenon first hand because I'm A) not a BYU graduate and B) not fucking retarded. But, I have it from good sources (a few "Jack Mormons," also known as Mormons who were born and raised but no longer practicing, as well as an ex-communicated one).
There you have it folks. The solution to every religious believer's ultimate dilemna: how do you have sex without having sex. Mormon soaking.

AMAZING. How is it that these douchecanoes convince each other that they're still virgins with vaginal penetration? I mean, I've heard of saddlebacking, in which good Christian girls take it up the ass to preserve their "virginity" (although, honey, if you're getting fucked in the ass, you're still getting FUCKED), but this?!
Insanity. Inanity. Hilarity.
On another note: Mormons, as unique humans, are generally delightful. They're so, so nice. And as communities, communities who take care of each other when someone's down and out, they're all-stars. But as a unit they suck. Prop 8 anyone?
- June 11, 2010 at 3:20 PM
First...that's really interesting. Second...sex is supposed to feel good? Never felt good for me. Oy. I should date a mormon and just soak.

Amanda! No! Please be joking. Tried lube?
Ack. That comment hurts my soul.
- June 11, 2010 at 3:55 PM
Haha I went to a conservative school where you had to sign an agreement not to have sex before marriage and I haven't even heard of that one. Wow.

amanda, you poor girl!! you should really spend some time with yourself and find out what makes you tick (so to speak) and share that with a partner. maybe that'll help you make sex feel good or even really really good... !
- June 12, 2010 at 8:31 AM
okay, you're not fuckin retarded, but maybe a tad bit gullible?
bill clinton put it best...."it depends on your definition of sex."
Oh....you left out the part where you're supposed to hold your breath for the duration.

wth?!? I have NEVER heard of this! Sounds like a bad idea.
- June 13, 2010 at 7:30 PM
Ok. I feel like this can't be true, but you're saying it is true, so I'm very conflicted now because I've known you for a very long time (like a few weeks) and by "known you" I mean, have read your blog, so how could I possibly not trust you about something so important. If what you speak of truly exists, it is downright sad. No, pathetic. No, ridiculous. Ok, I don't know what it is, but it makes me sad in so many ways. And I will stop there. Wow. I have no words.
- June 15, 2010 at 11:27 PM
- Queenie said...
Wow! Is this 'societies' version (virgin) haha of "just the tip"? Let's play a litle game called, "just the tip". Seriously, Mormon soaking? How does stickin the winky in the stinky justify 'not having sex'? So delusional, so off the wall, I love it. Like the previous comment, I've known girls that would take it up the butt and still proclaim to be the 'good virgin'.
Look, in my opinion, if you are sticking anything with a pulse up in any holes, you are no longer a virgin, the hole of the booty and the hole of the va-j-j. People are funny beings, we'll tweak and work our way around a situation and bend it a little to where it makes us sleep a little better at night. All this talk about soaking has got me hot and bothered, I think I'll go soak up some sun...or a Mormon, if I can find one! :)

Sweet fanciful McGillicuddy, that's ridiculous. What the hell happens when they're soaking if they're not busy screwing? Do they read the paper?

- Matthew said...
Wow! Never heard of soaking before, but it doesn't surprise me. There was a significant outbreak of anal gonorrhea in Utah county several years ago. (Think of Colorado Springs, but in Utah and Mormon instead of evangelical and you have a pretty good idea of the attitudes and culture). Apparently anal sex isn't sex and the poor girls never received any information about the need to prevent STDs.

Wow. Wow. I guess I never thought about Mormons being so serious about it. I guess I've been lucky with the one "fallen-away" Mormon girl I dated.

I enjoyed reading your blog, very good stuffs.
- June 29, 2010 at 11:21 PM
- Jazz Stanton (The Date Experiment) said...
Ummmm. That's just weird. I think it would be extra funny to ask someone I'm dating if they want to "soak". "I'm not ready to have sex but we can soak?" I would never hear from them again. Either that, or he would agree to it and then try to talk me into it while he is "soaking". OMG, too funny...
Your blog is hilarious, by the way just ran across it today. I will be following!

Hilarious stuff.
- July 17, 2010 at 2:01 PM
First of all, I'm not saying that this does not happen, but those who fall away from an affiliation, and are no longer practicing members, are usually the ones who are the most untruthful and despiteful about what truly goes on. For example, I know of two family members of a friend who will say anything to damage the image of the Mormon church regardless of its truth. I don't know how much cred I would give to your sources. Second of all, if it is true, are you really that surprised??? This world is a shitshow of messed up people. In my opinion, 99.9% of the Mormons I have met are great people. Every organization is going to have a freakshow in its midst. You should throw out some positive research as well if you are going to exploit the negative. :) thats all
- September 5, 2010 at 6:53 PM
i think i read about that yesterday on nyt
- September 8, 2010 at 9:56 AM
Dry humping might be a commen practice in Utah, but soaking is definitely not. You are VERY gullible.
- March 6, 2011 at 2:53 PM
Ok, I am a non-practicing Mormon and I have NEVER heard of this. I think this is one of those urban legends that are so fun to tell about Mo's.
- July 13, 2011 at 4:55 PM
I am a Mormon. Born and raised in SLC. 25yr old female, married for 5 years, no children yet. So ya, there are Mormons in SLC who don't have kids yet. Also, I've never EVER heard of soaking. Stupid!!
- July 13, 2011 at 8:13 PM
As a person in my early twenties, my take on this is that it's essentially the Mormon version of "just the tip." "Let's just soak, it'll be okay, no big deal," and then pow, you're having good ol' thrust-filled sex. I don't believe that anyone just "soaks" for a second.
- July 13, 2011 at 9:22 PM
even if your doing the socalled (mormon soaking) if you get each other aroused by kissing or touching a little in the right places, you should, if your good enough, get each other off then you can blow your load all up in there and both be very happy.
- July 13, 2011 at 9:44 PM
This is total bullshit. I was raised mormon my whole life, went on a mission even. I've since left the church entirely and have nothing to do with it. But this "soaking" rumor is straight up bullshit. If such a thing did exist I would have known about it years ago.
Sounds like something funny, but sorry guys, it's just not true.
- July 13, 2011 at 9:45 PM
- freetv said...
ummm bad idea? its a nuckin futs idea!
- July 13, 2011 at 10:01 PM
This happened to me when I lived out there - with the 1st counselor of the Stake's Young Women's group, no less.
I had no idea what her real intention was - and I don't want to get too graphic on your blog but suffice it to say that, "yes, this happened to me."
And since butt sex isn't "procreating" it's totally cool with all the Mormon girls out there. Also happened to me on multiple occasions. Just laying on the bed making out, next thing you know she's mounting through the back door!!
Mormons are interesting case study in conservative innovations.

I <3 mormon pussy. I have a sticker that says so as well. They are all whores.
- July 13, 2011 at 10:35 PM
I do not think it is strictly a Mormon thing I think it is a way for humans to justify or cover up the "Undercover nasty brain"
One of my nieces (she was not Mormon)
was having some problems with her "colon" she had to go to a specialist because she had a infection of sorts deep in he "outie hole" POOP HOLE! well needless to say she was having anal sex and thought she was a "Virgin" that getting it in the "butt" meant she was not having sex.
And I have heard other girls around her age of 15 think the very same way, oh! and oral sex in the young delusional horny mind is "Not sex".
So this soaking sex is not a surprise, anal oral soaking touching rubbing dry humps beating off,all of it is sex! sex! sex!
I even think some adults also think this way, naive horny fools.
In regards to Mormons, even though they would like to believe they are truly "saints" they are just humans, look at all the adopted "indiscretions"
- July 13, 2011 at 11:42 PM
I'm from Utah and a non practicing Mormon. This soaking business is funny shit but is not true. Sorry to disappoint.
- July 14, 2011 at 12:11 AM
About the taking care of one another part at least in Alaska the amount "help" received is directly related to how often services are attended. I stopped attending or considering myself LDS since finding out 40 million was given to support votes against same sex marriage in California and I don't do bigotry. I don't believe anyone has a right to tell those outside the church how to live or make religiously based laws. Nice is only if you're not a member and they want you to be or if you do what you are supposed to do regularly. I don't care but it sure supports my decision and makes it even more likely I'll not be returning.

Okay, I have lived in SLC all my life and you can say that I'm now a jack Mormon, whatever. Anyways I have close friends that go to BYU and this indeed does happen. Sad, but true. I would say this mainly only happens down in Provo. We're not all sexually retarded. I don't think this happens a lot by any means. They (Provo) just live in a bubble with in a bubble that Utah currently lives in. Well I hope this adds some credibility to this blogger. I only came here, because of Mr Joe Rogan. Oh and its also known as "Float N Soak." haha.
- July 14, 2011 at 6:09 AM
grew up mormon. family still is and siblings all went to byu. never heard of this until today. I'm sure someone was dumb enough too put it in and not pump one out....but to call it a mormon thing.....i dunno about that.
- July 14, 2011 at 6:35 AM
I'm an ex-Mormon. I was a Mormon in Utah through all my teenage and young single adult years. I've never heard of "soaking", and I'm pretty skeptical that this practice is widespread.
Dry-humping is pretty common. Forbidden, but common.
- July 14, 2011 at 6:50 AM
Went to BYU, never heard of soaking. Sex (the real kind) happens there (though probably not as much as at other colleges).
And then there's the weird thing to do which I know DOES occur. It's not soaking though. It's sex by grinding pelvises together fully clothed. The friction and pressure can get both participants to orgasm and they still consider it just making out and not an end of virginity.
Common terms for the practice are "dry humping," "Levi-lovin'," and "Jewish sex."
- July 14, 2011 at 8:44 AM
Don't knock it till you try it.
- July 14, 2011 at 9:24 AM
I'm sure those lovely conservative Christians who take it up the ass to preserve their virginity are the same ones that say homosexuality is evil, terrible and gross. As far as soaking goes, as a former mormon I've never heard of it. Then again, I've never had a lot of really stupid friends.

- Jameason said...
I am an ex mormon that lives in Salt Lake... I have never herd about this. They put out a very precise no no guide to pre marital things you can do. This is a big urban legend.. Touching a breast over clothing is a no no. Having a uncovered dick and uncovered vagina in the same room is a huge no no...
- July 14, 2011 at 12:46 PM
My definition of "soaking" a girl is a bit different .......
- July 14, 2011 at 1:48 PM
I don't believe a word of it. Not saying there aren't jack or ex mormons who are having sex, but this is a ridiculous rumor that is once again spread by a non-mormon.
- July 15, 2011 at 5:46 AM
- LDSRevelations said...
I'm a disaffected Mormon and BYU graduate (15 years ago) and I have my doubts about 'soaking.' Sure there may be cases where Mormon do this and think they're not having sex but I doubt it's widespread.
Most BYU students don't have sex..at all. Even masturbation is considered a serious sin. Those that can't resist sometimes look for loopholes (no innuendo intended)
Fact is penetration even without motion is pretty seen as sex for Mormons. I have heard the "oral is moral" approach to sex for BYU some students...where Mormons engage in oral sex and still feel fine checking the 'virign' box at Church.
Personally I think it's just sad. Churches should get out of the business of telling people when and how to have sex because it's none of their business. In Mormonism all it leads to is eventual sexual repression, disfunction and a bunch of kids trying to redefine 'virigin'.

I've lived in SLC since 96 and yes this is a real thing, although most just take it up the ass repeatedly to "remain virgins". Also they are so desperate to have sex they are usually married in their teens and pregnant within weeks/months. Of course such a rush to get married usually leads to an crappy relationship but luckily one of the things Mormons ARENT hung up about is divorce ... coincidence?

Adam directed me to this post. He doesn't believe in the soaking phenomenon, but having spent ample time in the Provo realm, it was actually something my friends and I joked about quite often. Only, we referred to it as "docking." I'd never heard the term soaking before. Our oft repeated mantra was "common. Just the tip. Just to see what it's like."

This is by far the funniest thing i have ever heard and most thing i have ever encountered. completely false. i go to byu and served a mission and am to the "T" what this describes as a mormon person in their twenties and this is hillarious. we also apparently have horns on our heards after we get baptized and we cant wear red on tuesday...who comes up with this crap. were normal people.
- October 12, 2011 at 11:29 AM
This is absolutely rediculous! I am Mormon and WOW what some people won't try to blame on Mormons! We are also Christians by the way. Just thought I'd clear up than little item also. Go to a Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) and get the real facts.

The only safe sex is no sex, with soaking it is possible to give std's and pregnancy. Having premarital sex of any kind is like Russian roulette with a 45 automatic pistol unless your are a really bad shot and are alone. Keep your pants and skirts zipped and wait till you are married. The whole world will be better for it. A child of God

i heard about this in health class at one of the colleges here in orem. the teacher called it floating and said thats why orem has such a high rate of plan b preganancies as these dimwits say "oh we weren't having sex we were floating so we cant be pregnant"
ive also heard it called docking, docking the space ship, and now apparently soaking.
i can go cry in a van down by the river now and die in peace. im mormon and utah has killed my religion as im not from utah and im not sure what crazy religion exists out here.
- May 29, 2012 at 2:25 PM
This is the silliest thing I have ever heard! Sure, some people may be delusional enough to think this is acceptable behavior but most LDS members who understand any of the teachings of the church would know that "soaking" would be a big no no. It's just common sense. Don't be so quick to believe the nonsense you hear!

I've actually tried soaking -- not by name, just by practice. Not for religious reasons or anything .. just to try it. I think I lasted for all of 5 minutes. It was fun trying, though.
Amanda: If sex doesn't feel good then either you're having lubrication problems or (vaguely related), your (former) boyfriend(s) don't got a clue about good foreplay. If you're not warm, wet and ready to go by the time he sticks himself into you, then he hasn't done his job, and you're letting him get away with it.
- August 7, 2012 at 9:27 PM
This is not true, none of it is. the only mormon that would do this is one that doesn't attend any church at all. I know this because I am a mormon and I know that this does not happen. If your getting info about mormons don't get it from someone that has been excommunicated. that person has been excommunicated for doing things against the "mormon code" they probably hate mormons and want to spread lies about them when ever they can. THIS IS A LIE!!!

That's funny, but BS. I spent the summer living practically on the campus of BYU. My cousins and roommates were all Mormon, I was exposed to a lot of Mormons down there (especially dudes, especially horny bugger dudes)
If soaking were a thing, I would have heard about it (cause these dudes definitely would have been doing it to release some tension) Sounds like your friend heard of somebody doing it and assumed it was a "mormon thing". When people go that far, they just have sex.

Mormons are so confused about sexuality because they are taught that "sexual immorality is second to murder". As a past mormon, I have suffered depression and anxiety over sexuality. The Mormon church degrades sex so much that the members are not properly educated and find other ways to find "satisfaction". I have had Mormons friends loose their virginity to someone they don't love because they have never been taught how to properly be chaste. No wonder so many Mormons get married so quickly and young... the get married because they are sexually curious and confused, and believe they are in love with the first person they are sexually attracted to.

It's 100% a real thing as a return missionary I had several girls suggest this when I lived in utah county. And this was just 1 year ago. Soaking is real! Also called "getting it wet" Trust me.
- January 14, 2013 at 9:18 PM
What man would want to soak..once a dick head hits a warm tight vagina you mean to tell me that man wont investigate the vagina further. PLEASE! I'm a woman and it makes no sense...I suggested that my Guy just put the dick in and not move because I was solo sleepy...needless to say I was"full" of his affection because he could no longer contain himself. Hope the kids use condoms
- January 15, 2013 at 9:00 PM
This is true, sadly. Can't believe they think just marinating the penis in the vagina doesn't count as sex. How dumb. I know a Mormon girl. She's a money grubbing whore who sleeps with married men and had a kid with her adopted brother. Shoulda just "soaked"

you all know that soaking leads to a powerwash. Penetration is penetration no matter how you see it. Sex feels good, soaking feels good, it leads to pro-creation eventually.
- April 15, 2013 at 8:33 AM
Former Mormon. Definitely heard of it and know people who practiced it. This is, sadly, real. The saddest part is that girls who are talked into soaking can end up getting pregnant when the guy doesn't hold up his end of the bargain. Also, there are still stds to be found when you have multiple soaking partners. Gross.
- April 19, 2013 at 5:51 PM
Well, your source is not even close to good. Do you think asking an ex Mormon is the best way to find out about what we do? It's like asking some guys ex girlfriend what he's like just after she's broken up with him. It's not gonna be the most accurate.

I find it hilarious that there is still people saying this is not true when there have in fact been others testifying to it's truthfulness... I also know for a fact this is true as well. So instead of out right saying it's false how about being open to the possibility that you don't know everything about your religion and it's members? Just a thought.

By definition, they are having sex. To think otherwise is ridiculous. Once one sex organ enters another, you no longer are a virgin.

I heard about this for the first time recently from a single Mormon I know. But he called it "docking". My jaw must have hit the floor. I haven't dated a Mormon woman for many years, but maybe I should start.
- August 5, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Lol any religion is not Christian. Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus, it is not defined as a religious movement or man based commission. You should really study and seek out who Joseph Smith was. He was a criminal who tried, as much as he could, to prosper from the hard work of other people's hands. Sadly he would not learn from his ways and died in a shootout with authorities. The word says if you live by the sword you die from it. And what amazes me is idiot's took his words as truth and did not "test the spirits" and many have been led away from the path. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" the word says.

Erik Hjelmvik was kind enough to send an evaluation copy of the latest version of his NetworkMiner traffic analysis software. You can download the free edition from SourceForge as well. I first mentioned NetworkMiner on this blog in September 2008.
NetworkMiner is not a protocol analyzer like Wireshark. It does not take a packet-by-packet approach to representing traffic. Instead, NetworkMiner displays traffic in any one of the following ways: as hosts, frames, files, images, messages, credentials, sessions, DNS records, parameters, keywords, or cleartext. To demonstrate a few of these renderings, I asked NetworkMiner to parse the sample pcap from a sample lab from TCP/IP Weapons School 2.0. I did not need to install it; the software starts from a single executable and loads several DLLs in the associated directory.
The following screen capture shows information from the Hosts tab, showing what NetworkMiner knows about 192.168.230.4.
Notice that in addition to summarizing information about traffic to and from the host, in terms of packets or sessions, we also see what NetworkMiner knows about the host, like Queried NetBIOS names, Web Browser User Agents, and so on.
The following screen capture shows the Files tab. This displays all the content that NetworkMiner extracted from the traffic to the analysis workstation hard drive (or in my case, the NetworkMiner USB thumb drive).
I think NetworkMiner is pretty cool, especially given what you can do with the free version. My primary recommendation for improvement would be an interface that allows the user to easily pivot from one piece of information to the next. With the current environment, the analyst seems confined to the tab at hand. I would like to see a way to right click on an element of the displayed information and then execute a query based on my selection. It would also be helpful to be able to right click and open associated data in another traffic analysis program like Wireshark.
Thank you to Erik Hjelmvik for the opportunity to take another look at NetworkMiner!

Our History
In 1955, Dr. James O. Baird, then president of Central Christian College, met in Tulsa with a group of ladies to encourage them to become involved in the needs of Christian education in Oklahoma. This group organized to become one of the very first women's support organizations among the Christian colleges. The Central Christian College group adopted the name Stepping Stones.
In 1958 the college moved to Oklahoma City, became Oklahoma Christian College and organized a first women's group in Oklahoma City. From that beginning OCWA has spread throughout Oklahoma and into North Texas and Kansas.
Now known as the Oklahoma Christian Women's Association, this group of dedicated women is still growing and still working diligently to assist in the advancement of Christian education at Oklahoma Christian.
Our Goal
Although all of the women involved with Oklahoma Christian Women's Association work for a common purpose and a common goal, each local chapter is an independent, autonomous organization. Each organization is developed from individuals who are interested in working together to help financially as well as to promote good will for Oklahoma Christian University.

Side effects of breast cancer surgery and treatment may range from loss of range of motion to long term risk of osteoporosis and lymphedema.
VIEW: Yoga for breast cancer awareness survivors
Women who have had several lymph nodes removed and/or radiation to the armpit area are at higher risk for lymphedema, swelling due to poor drainage of the lymphatic fluid. The risk for this condition is lifelong, but much can be done to prevent it from developing. Patients who have concerns should see their physician to discuss their risk.
It is important to begin by assessing your range of motion. You can compare the affected side to the non-affected side in a series of movements for comparison. Before doing any weight-bearing exercises, your range of motion should be greater than 90 percent.
With a focus on increasing range of motion to the shoulder joint, and encouraging proper lymphatic flow, let us examine the following exercises. If you are recovering from recent surgery or reconstruction, please check with your physician or qualified exercise professional to determine what is safe for you.
• 1. From a standing or seated position, inhale while drawing your arms out to the side and reaching overhead. As you exhale, allow the arms to float back down by your side. This encourages opening of the shoulder joint, which increases lymph flow.
• 2. If you are unable to keep your arm straight, you may bend the elbow into "cactus arms." Try not to lean forward, focusing on keeping the chest and shoulders open.
• 3. After several repetitions, hold the arms overhead and gently squeeze and release your fists. This creates a pumping action, which encourages the lymph to flow up the arm, discouraging pooling in the limb.
• 4. Another posture to open the shoulder is Trikonasana, or Triangle Pose. With the Triangle Pose, we can modify the arm positioning as you gradually increase your range of motion.
Begin by standing on your mat with the right foot pointing straight ahead, and the left leg comfortably behind, toes turned slightly outward. The torso should be facing the long side of the mat. As you inhale, sweep the left arm straight up while leaning the torso toward the floor in a right side bend. The right hand can slide gently down the right leg to the shin, ankle, or floor.
• 5. A chair can be used if you are just starting out. You may also use a yoga block if you prefer.
If it is painful to reach up with your top hand, you may place the hand on your left hip, rolling the shoulder back gently. You may look straight ahead, or slowly turn to look up toward the ceiling, whichever is more comfortable for your neck. Remember to breathe evenly throughout the posture.
To come out of the pose, press your feet into the floor and come up to a standing position. Repeat on the other side.
All standing postures build strength in the hip joint, and help combat osteoporosis by using your own body weight against gravity.

Class of 2018: Summer Stock-Risers
... Cormac Ryan, Milton Academy, Middlesex Magic – He made a significant jump during the high school season, climbing into New England's top 10, and is poised to make yet another jump following the grassroots season. Ryan has evolved into a skilled big guard with a high basketball I.Q. In July, he even started to show that he was capable of taking over games when it mattered the most down the stretch.
Eric Ayala, Putnam Science Academy, We-R1 – New England fans weren't at all surprised to see Ayala take on a co-starring role next to Trevon Duval this summer in leading We-R1 to the UAA championship. In fact, we saw him do the same thing at PSA last year. The skilled and smooth guard arrived in New England as a shot-maker but has transformed himself into a versatile, playmaking guard.
Ethan Wright, Newton North, New England Playaz – He went from a virtual unknown (to college coaches) to the high-major radar over the course of one grassroots season. Wright is skilled, smart and tough. He shoots it from deep, has some bounce at the rim and is a full year younger than most of the guys on this list with plenty more upside left to discover.

Tongue Sensation
The sides of my tongue have a constant feeling that the tongue has been burnt but it hasn`t. The sides of my mouth also feel dry but aren`t. I also feel that the sides of my mouth feel somewhat enlarged because when I bite down I frequently can bite the sides of my mouth. This has been going on for a month or so. I haven`t started any new medication or eaten anything new.
Based on what you are telling me, this may be a condition known as burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Even though it's called BMS, it really should be called "oral sensory neuropathy," which means that the nerves that transmit information to the brain about the sensations in the mouth, just aren't working right. Nerves that carry information about pain, taste and/or texture can be affected, and it seems to occur more frequently in peri- and post-menopausal women.
When the nerves that carry taste information are affected, patients may complain of "taste phantoms", which are perceived as a bitter, salty, metallic or sweet taste in the mouth, even though there isn't anything in the mouth that would taste like that. This is a harmless, but annoying, problem that has no proven treatment, but many patients get better spontaneously.
More information can be found at the links below.

Best wishes.

The History of Acupressure
Because acupressure evolved from acupuncture, an ancient Chinese healing practice, the history of this form of treatment begins with traditional Chinese philosophy as it applies to the healing arts. The fundamental principle of Chinese philosophy is the concept of yin and yang. The yin and yang are two opposite, yet complementary, forever-entwined forces that underlie all aspects of life. Yin-yang is depicted as the subtly curved light and dark halves of a circle. Both proceed from the t'ai chi (the Supreme Ultimate). According to this philosophical system, the human body, like all matter, is made up of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element corresponds to an aspect of the body, such as the organs, senses, tissues, and emotions, as well as to aspects of nature, such as direction, season, color, and climate. The five-element theory, combined with the principle of yin and yang, forms the basis of the Chinese concept of balance. The intention is to balance yin and yang and to balance the energies of the five elements.
Yin is earthy, female, dark, passive, receptive, and absorbing. It is represented by the moon, the tiger, the color orange, a broken line, and the shady side of a hill. Yin is cool, inward, still, and soft.
Yang is represented by the sun, the dragon, the color blue, an unbroken line, and the sunny side of a hill. Yang is hot, outward, moving, aggressive, and bright.
Because yin and yang are intertwined halves of the same whole, all things, and all people, contain elements of both, although at any one time, one or the other will be predominant. Thus, a baby or young child is more yin; an older child more yang. When your child asserts herself, it is her yang that is coming to the fore.
The sun is yang, the moon is yin. We awaken in the morning and greet the sun. It is natural to be active and moving throughout the daylight. As twilight descends into night, we become more passive and quiet. Nighttime expresses the qualities of yin.
Chinese medical theory teaches that the two branches of the body's nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympa-thetic, correspond to the two halves of the yin-yang circle. The sympathetic branch is the part of the nervous system that mobilizes our bodies to respond to stress. It initiates the fight-or-flight re-sponse, a more yang part of the cycle. The parasympathetic branch replen-ishes and supports the body during rest, the yin part of the cycle. These two branches oppose and balance each other to create stability and health. When the yin and yang are balanced within the body, all the body's functions are healthy. Illness is caused by an imbalance between yin and yang.
Conventional Western medicine typically pinpoints and directly treats only the affected part of the body. Chinese medical philosophy encompasses the entire universe. Everything that affects the patient is considered, including emotion, environment, and diet.

Every parent knows just how important technology has become as a parenting tool in the modern world. Today's media and the many forms it comes in is perfect both for keeping children entertained and teaching valuable morals. Even a selection of video games and movies have a variety of educational and moral lessons to be learned built into them. As a result, modern media has become the perfect tool for dealing with the typically tricky situations that parents find themselves in. For example, keeping kids quiet in a grocery store or during long car rides is usually a difficult task, but with an educational television show, children are preoccupied. The problem comes when children begin to argue over what show to watch on the big screen. Today an extremely portable media server named Doodah is here to solve just that by allowing a variety of media forms to be broadcasted directly to smartphones and tablets.
The media server itself fits in the palm of the hand and can easily be loaded with movies, music, and other forms of entertainment. Once the media server is filled with content, the Doodah automatically broadcasts a wifi network for other devices to connect to. Upon connecting to the wifi network, these devices will be able to play the content that is stored on the Doodah media server. In turn, multiple devices can stream movies and more from the Doodah content library, ensuring that every child in the car has his or her favorite show to watch.
As an added benefit, the setup process for the Doodah is incredibly simple. Uploading content to the Doodah is as simple as plugging a USB stick into the Doodah, and everything else is automatically handled from there. What's more is that the wifi network that the Doodah automatically creates can work on the go, regardless of cellular signal, ensuring that media streaming is virtually lossless.
Sadly, producing a media server as simplistic, yet innovative as the Doodah is no easy task. To remedy this issue, the Doodah team has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Through the campaign, readers can show their support by preordering the Doodah at a discount, buying merchandise, or simply making a small contribution. With this support, the Doodah team hopes to make using media as a parenting tool easier than ever.

Hunting Programs
When it comes to hunting and skills training, America's 13.7 million hunters have known for years where to go: the NRA. Working in cooperation with the state of New York in 1949, we developed hunter safety training as it's known today. Since then, as our proven hunting education principles have been adopted by one state and province after another, we've expanded our services and assistance to hunters.
Advanced training for young hunters. The latest research and tactics for hunting success. Public works that benefit hunters. With all this and more, it's easy to see why NRA is the number-one hunters' organization in America. For more information, call us at (800) 492-4868 or email email@example.com.

After 10 years of planning, the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center will open its spacious new wing to patients on Sept. 24.
The 46,000-square-foot expansion is designed to meet increased demand and to promote integration of the center's cancer care and research programs, in part by bringing all of its patients and cancer care providers under the same roof. The entire cancer center now comprises 110,000 square feet and provides care for an estimated 10,000 adult and pediatric patients.
"As the nation's 41st comprehensive cancer center designated by the National Cancer Institute, we have an obligation -- not only to our patients, but also to our Cancer Care Network sites at four community hospitals -- to reduce the burden of cancer," said cancer center director Ralph de Vere White. "We believe that this expansion will help us do that, as it enables streamlined operations, improved patient access to clinical trials and enhanced collaboration among our clinical and basic research faculty. That, in turn, will translate to better cancer care and outcomes for the entire Sacramento region."
An important feature of the expansion is the space it has created for pediatric cancer patients to be seen in the main cancer center. Because of space limitations, childhood cancer patients had been seen in another building several blocks away on the Sacramento campus. The new cancer center building has an entire floor dedicated to pediatrics, with five examination rooms and 13 infusion chairs for chemotherapy treatment, including two isolation rooms for patients who require or desire privacy. Childhood cancer patients also will have their own indoor play area.
Locating the pediatric clinics together with the adult cancer clinics improves continuity of care for adolescent and young adult patients who often face special challenges as they mature. "Co-location" also will foster more collaboration among pediatric and adult cancer researchers and specialists, who work in teams to meet the needs of individual cancer patients and develop treatment plans to address the unique characteristics of their disease. In addition, a new late-effects clinic will be launched to help young adult survivors deal with long-term side effects from childhood cancers.
The second and third floors of the cancer center expansion are for adult patient care and include a 31-chair infusion center and 16 exam rooms. Prior to the expansion, space constraints required that many adult cancer patients had to be seen about a mile away at UC Davis' Bulkley Building clinic on Alhambra Boulevard. Patients now seen at the Bulkley clinic will transfer their care to the new cancer center building on Oct. 29.
Other specialized clinics in development at the cancer center will provide psychiatric care, palliative care and chronic pain management. The expansion also provides additional space in the infusion center for Phase 1 clinical trials, in which novel therapies are tested in a small group of people as a first step to evaluate their safety and potential therapeutic benefit.
"A key focus of the cancer center is to support a robust clinical research program and the development of new drugs generated in our basic research labs that show promise for improving patient outcomes," said Jeanine Stiles, the center's chief administrative officer. "Since our designation as a cancer center by the National Cancer Institute in 2002, space constraints have limited our clinical research capabilities. The expansion changes that."
The expansion, which is linked to the original building by a second-floor enclosed bridge, also will include a resource center and pharmacy. The radiation oncology clinic will remain on the ground floor of the original cancer center building.
The expanded center, at an estimated cost of $33 million, was funded with $10 million from the health system and by philanthropic donations, including a $5 million contribution from the Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation and many other gifts, large and small. Fund-raising efforts are ongoing.
UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Institute-designated center serving the Central Valley and inland Northern California, a region of more than 6 million people. Its specialists provide compassionate, comprehensive care for more than 9,000 adults and children every year, and access to more than 150 clinical trials at any given time. Its innovative research program engages more than 280 scientists at UC Davis, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Jackson Laboratory (JAX West), whose scientific partnerships advance discovery of new tools to diagnose and treat cancer. Through the Cancer Care Network, UC Davis collaborates with a number of hospitals and clinical centers throughout the Central Valley and Northern California regions to offer the latest cancer care. Its community-based outreach and education programs address disparities in cancer outcomes across diverse populations. For more information, visit cancer.ucdavis.edu.

Address AIDS? Yes We Can!
An Obama Administration Could Bring Meaningful AIDS Policy Changes
AIDS advocates were overwhelmingly thrilled by President-elect Barack Obama's victory Tuesday, expressing hope that Obama's election will bring meaningful changes to health care reform, science-based prevention, and a National AIDS strategy -- all of which he promised during the campaign.
And there is a real hope that the first black president -- who has spoken out against health disparities in minority populations and homophobia in the black community -- will frankly address the epidemic in the United States which overwhelmingly affects African-Americans, Latinos and gay men.
"We are excited about what it feels like when the entire world is ignited with hope all at once. We will makes sure the visionary commitments are kept in the first 100 days," said Health GAP Director of U.S. Government Affairs Paul Davis.
"This is a great opportunity for the AIDS community," Housing Works Vice President of National Advocacy and Organizing Christine Campbell agreed. "I think we finally have a president who will listen."
But with an economic crisis surely the number one item on the agenda, advocates realize that more effort than ever is needed, and that budget decisions are as important as policy ones.
"Our biggest fear is that people will wrongly conclude that because money is tight we can no longer tackle AIDS," said David Bryden, Communications Director of Global AIDS Alliance.
The biggest changes will include who Obama appoints in key matters relating to national and global ADS policy, and advocates are pushing for champions of people living with AIDS to be included. But for now different groups of advocates have released recommendations for the Obama transition team, including AIDS In America, and the Global AIDS Roundtable. Here's some change we could see with an Obama administration:
Universal Health Care
With Obama promising health care for all Americans, it's a question mark what will happen to health insurance for people with AIDS -- currently a patchwork of coverage through Medicaid, Medicare, Ryan White and private insurance. No one knows how quickly health reform will be brought up, or most of the particulars of an Obama plan, but AIDS advocates are ready to be part of the debate.
"Health care is going to take up a lot of the oxygen in the room and HIV/AIDS can't get left behind in this discussion," said AIDS Action Political Director Bill McColl. "We can't lose the benefits we've gained. We must protect what we have while expanding it."
Science-Based Prevention
Obama has stated his support for comprehensive sex education and made repealing the ban on syringe exchange part of his platform. Advocates are optimistic that Democrats in Congress will use their larger majority and support of Obama to pass bills that fund and promote scientifically proven prevention efforts at home and abroad -- even though this didn't happen during the Dems' last two years of rule.
The Community AIDS and Hepatitis Prevention Act of 2008 (H.R. 6680), sponsored by Rep. José Serrano, would eliminate the Health and Human Services rider that prohibits federal funding for syringe exchange. There's still no Senate companion bill, and advocates will have to work to convince some of the more conservative members on both sides of the aisle to support this legislation. Nonetheless after 10 years, this ban could finally be overturned soon.
Advocates also want $200 million poorly spent on abstinence-only education redirected towards the first federal funding for comprehensive sex education.
National AIDS Strategy
Obama supports the development of a National AIDS Strategy, making advocates hopeful that a coordinated blueprint with benchmarks to address the epidemic can finally get on the agenda. Such a plan would have to include goals for reduced HIV incidence, increased care access, and reduced racial and gender disparities. Although the National AIDS Strategy coalition is giving the Obama administration a year to create a blueprint, some think that the work needs to start sooner.
"One defense offered was that one year to implement is what Obama put in his plan, so that is what we should hold him to," said Housing Works President and CEO Charles King. "Meanwhile, it took Bush, Paulson and company, working with Congress and the banks and Wall Streeters, less than a month to develop a $700 billion plan to address the credit crisis."
Ryan White Care Act
Obama is a "strong supporter" of the Ryan White CARE Act. And while that's a relief, Ryan White is in such flux, it's unclear what "strong support" even means. Advocates are divided over whether to see what Obama and Congress have in store before reauthorizing the Ryan White Care Act. While most advocates say that we should hold off Ryan White reauthorization, until we know what health care reform should look like, Campbell argues that we should rework Ryan White first, so it can fit into a universal health care system.
"We can't keep counting on a grant program for the long term," Campbell said. "If medical care has a better platform to stand on, what does that mean for support services? We need to figure this out now."
PEPFAR and Global Prevention
In Bush's semblance of a positive legacy, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief passed this year with $48 billion to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria worldwide. And advocates have been worried that the appropriations for this legislation could stall with the financial crisis. They are optimistic, however since the support is reiterated on the Obama/Biden transition website Change.gov. Obama supported , and Biden even reiterated his support last month.
PEPFAR has had success providing treatment to millions of people, but failed in lowering new infections. Advocates will work with the Obama administration to reinterpret some heinous Bush prevention policies. Bush's first day of office he reinstated the "global gag rule," which won't provide funding to any organizations that provide abortion. Advocates expect Obama to rescind this.
In addition, there is the chance (though not the promise) that an Obama administration could reinterpret the so-called "prostitution pledge" which won't allow global organizations receiving U.S. funds to work with sex workers.

Quitting for Good
I quit smoking successfully 3 months ago but now I am back to smoking as much as ever. Every time I have quit Iâve told myself, âThis is so hard, I never want to put myself through this again.â But every time something in my life happens that is stressful, I go running back to my cigarettes. What can I do? I am so frustrated!!
First, recognize that you are not alone. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man, and relapse – returning to your addiction – is an expected part of healing from this addiction. The trick is, not to think of these previous episodes as failures, but as practice for the next effort that will ultimately be successful. If these efforts are to be thought of as practice, then you have to learn from them, and it appears you have.
It seems your primary reason for relapse is stress, which again puts you in crowded company. Stress is the most common reason given for returning to smoking. In fact, the best predictor of success or failure in cessation is the extent to which the smoker learns to use their cigarettes to regulate their mood. In order to know whether this is you, think about what we refer to as your âalways smoke feelings.â Every smoker has feelings that tend to trigger the urge to smoke such as frustration, anger, sadness, anxiety, overwhelmed, upset, disappointed, loneliness, or insecurity. The more always smoke feelings you have, the more likely it is that stress will cause relapse, since smoking has become a primary coping mechanism for these feelings.
In avoiding relapse the next time around, start with this insight, and then build in an alternative response – a plan for what you will do when you have these feelings rather than smoking. Check out the OFF (Officially Free From) Nicotine Smoking Cessation Particpation Guide to find out more about breathing techniques, self massage approaches, and the âsmokerâs switchâ that work as effective alternative responses for many smoker who have become Officially Free From Nicotine.

Subscribe To Godzilla Remake Officially Announced At Comic Con Updates
I've already subscribed
UPDATE!: After doing some research, we've discovered the source of the quote that is used as the voice over for the Godzilla teaser. Apparently it was a quote from scientist Robert Oppenheimer, who is best known for being the scientific director on the Manhattan Project, aka the building of the atomic bomb. The full quote is as follows:
We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
The original story is below
We heard rumors that Legendary Pictures might be ready to officially announce their Godzilla remake at Comic Con today, hot on the heels of Guillermo del Toro's own Pacific Rim, about giant monsters from the sea. Now we know the news is true-- today in Hall H, after the Pacific Rim presentation ended, a surprise trailer for Godzilla screened for the thrilled audience. They also announced that Gareth Edwards, who formerly made the indie Monsters, will be directing the Godzilla remake-- then Edwards himself took the stage in front of an ecstatic crowd.
Here's how it went down, according to our own Eric Eisenberg who was on the scene. It started with footage of a destroyed city, and voiceover talking about the Hindu proverb about Vishnu taking on his multi-armed form (you know, this guy). The voice-over specifically quotes Vishnu saying "'Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds." From there we hear the iconic Godzilla scream, and it leads to a shot of Godzilla stomping through a cloud of dust. You see the spiked back, you hear the familiar thudding storms, and then the camera pans up the monster's face-- where, of course, it screams again.
When Edward took the stage he explained that the reboot would be taking the Godzilla idea "very seriously," asking themselves "If this really happened, what would it be like?" He's promising a grounded and realistic film that isn't particularly sci-fi, so I guess we're meant to imagine what would happen in our own regular lives if suddenly a monster rose from the sea. Edwards said he had to tell himself not to cry listening to the fan reaction to the trailer, which should be a good sign of how committed he is to the material.
They gave the footage an encore viewing after Edwards was done talking, and of course, the crowd went bananas for it again. We'll hopefully have more info for you about Godzilla after the panel, but in the meantime, let us know in the comments if you're excited to see it!

I was supposed to be in France this week. Sunday I would have been at Marc Ollivier's and today at Clos Rougeard for my birthday. Instead, I'm at work. As it happens, I had these wines on New Year's Eve with lots of oysters and an amazing veal chop. So I'm there in spirit if anyone is checking on my blog during the trip.
2008 Pépière Muscadet
Is there a better wine to wash down oysters (and clams for that matter)? I can't remember Marc ever making a wine that wasn't at least very good. The man really is a hero of the world of wine.
1997 Clos Rougeard (Foucault) Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux
The regular Clos has been drinking well for a few years now, so I figured the Poyeux might be beginning to open up. To cut to the chase, no it isn't. The nose begins to open up and it is very mineral and sort of Chambolle like, to put it in context, although with distinctly different scent profile. Lean red fruit with stones with a bit of wood influence still there. I tend to think that the Clos and the Bourg, because they are flat and on richer soil, tend to come around earlier, whereas Poyeux is on a calcaire slope, so it may stay leaner for a longer time. This certainly does not show at all like a hot vintage wine. I only have one more bottle and won't be touching it for another 5 years, at least.

Birthday blues, oh please. You know all this by heart. Be sad you didn't go to Sri Lanka or some shit for it. Or New Jersey! They have some great casinos there!
Otherwise, in all honesty, half of the people in the Muscadet/Saumur met with the unhappy fate of gastroenteritis.

Decentralized Channel Management in Scalable Multihop Spread Spectrum Packet Networks
This thesis addresses the problems of managing the transmissions of stations in a
spread-spectrum packet radio network so that the system can remain e ective when
scaled to millions of nodes concentrated in a metropolitan area. The principal difficulty in scaling a system of packet radio stations is interference from other stations in
the system. Interference comes both from nearby stations and from distant stations.
Each nearby interfering station is a particular problem, because a signal received from
it may be as strong as or stronger than the desired signal from some other station.
Far interfering stations are not individually a problem, since each of their signals
will be weaker, but the combined e ect may be the dominant source of interference.
The thesis begins with an analysis of propagation and interference models. The
overall noise level in the system (mainly caused by the many distant stations) is then
analyzed, and found to remain manageable even as the system scales to billions of
nodes. A scheme for designing a scalable packet radio network is then presented.
Included is a method of scheduling packet transmissions to avoid collisions (caused
by interference from nearby stations) without the need for global coordination or
synchronization. Simulations of a system of one thousand stations are used to verify
and illustrate the methods used.
A method of choosing routes (minimum-energy routes) is demonstrated in simulation to produce a fully connected and functional network for one hundred and one
thousand randomly placed stations. Unfortunately, congestion as the system scales is
unavoidable if the tra c is not limited to some degree of locality. If tra c is limited
to a few hops, then for a large system the techniques presented in this thesis are
superior to ideal time division multiplexing of a clear channel.
