Wife Sharing
Trying To Convince Your Wife To Have An MFM? Show Her This Article
By: Dr. Sherry Lee, Ph. D.
From: Psychology Today
(Dr. Lee has lectured and published in the area of analytical psychology, and she developed one of the first electronic systems for the quantitative analysis human behavior. She started her counseling work by leading gestalt therapy groups. Apart from this, her several decades of professional experience has been largely limited to urban, affluent, female subjects.)
What Has Spurred the whole Hotwife Phenomena?
Although motivations for the Hotwife phenomena actually cover a wide spectrum, here we'll cover a few of the most common.
First let's get this out of the way. The Menage a' Trois is out, it's yesterday's news, and most women are glad to see it go. Why? Because for at least the last hundred years or so we women have had to indulge this male fantasy (usually with our best girlfriends as the second woman) and frankly guys, we've had enough. No, we don't really like to perform oral sex on our best friends just because you think it's hot, sorry. We're not lesbians and even though it looks like we like it in every porno you've ever seen, the last thing that turns us on is watching you, our boyfriends/husbands screw another woman right in front of us. We just aren't wired to like that. It's biologically programed into us not to like seeing our mates mating with other females.
On the other hand, we women know that a lot of you men out there DO like the idea of watching us, your girlfriends and wives, get it on with another male while you either watch or better still, join in. Surprised? You shouldn't be.
Polls show that more and more women, especially those in their late thirties and older, who are passed or passing their child bearing years, say that the threesome they do find extremely exciting is the kind of threesome so called "Hot Wives" are having and that's the MFM or Male-Female-Male threesome.
These women are hitting their sexual prime during their late thirties and early forties and many of them like getting attention from younger males. These women don't want to cheat on the men they love, they want to have their boyfriends and husbands to let them be the sexual creatures at the peak of their sexual powers that the media has falsely convinced men happens when women are in their twenties. It's just not true. While many males my be suffering from a drop in their testosterone levels in their forties and feel like their sexual peak is a distant memory, the women in their lives are just getting warmed up, maybe even hot!
What is a Cuckold?
A husband who is a cuckold is aware of his spouse's activity, most likely actively encouraging it and derives sexual pleasure from it. Biologist Robin Baker speculates in his book "Sperm Wars" that the excitement and stimulation of the cuckolding fetish emerges from the biology of sexuality and the effects of sexual arousal on the brain. Baker believes that when a man thinks that his female mate may have been sexual with another man, the man is prompted by biological urges to copulate with the female in an effort to "compete" with the other man's sperm. While this is just a theory it may help explain the desire by many men to have their wives sleep with other men.
He may value the relationship and not want her to jeopardize things because of the deceit and secrecy that normally accompany affairs. In short, he wants to know about and approve any extramarital sex, and even have some control over it. The cuckold husband wants his wife's sexual encounters with men to be for sex only, with no marriage-threatening emotional entanglements.
The mass media often cast beautiful and desirable women as both sexy and prone to sexual liaisons. Whereas this type of woman used to be considered a "fallen woman" or even a "whore," in some minds she now seems to represent an enticing new standard.
Some women used to brag about how they could avoid marital sex, and despite the views of some radical feminists, such women are now suspected as being man-haters, latent lesbians, or simply having personal problems. Now, many women find a certain excitement in being viewed as sexually liberated. For some, especially some older women, there may be a certain ego gratification in still being viewed as being sexually desirable — even discretely promiscuous. While holding to the security of her primary relationship, she may revel in experiencing sexual freedom.
At the same time, some cuckold husbands want their wives to appear ladylike on the surface (in public.). But, among the majority of these men, they want they wives to be known as "hot", "sexy", and "not hung up about sex," or even "great lays." Although this type of wife was once considered a threat to husbands — and it still is to most — the more psychologically secure males believe that a healthy and well-adjusted (and desirable) woman enjoys sex, and has the right to be just as open about it as men.
Also, the husbands involved often pride themselves in being secure enough to handle a hotwife. He may even brag to another man about how his wife loves sex and can't get enough (which, not coincidentally, may be very much in contrast to the attitude of that man's wife). Implicit in the comment is that the husband has no problem with this, and that, in fact, he thinks his wife is very "hot." In most cases sex within a Hotwife marriage is just that. Hot. Women in the Hotwife lifestyle report having higher than average self esteem, they report far fewer incidences of infidelity on the part of their husbands, an above average libido, and overall feelings of being attractive, especially to younger males.
Many women realize that other women regularly enjoy "good sex," and although many wives have grown ambivalent about sex within their marriages and are reluctant to try new things, these barriers frequently fall with the expectations of new sexual partners. With new men there appears to be unspoken desire to "not disappoint" and "to be good in bed." Even though she may have started to have doubts about her sexual desirability, as a hotwife she will find that men are again interested in her. For some women this can constitute a kind of new "sexual awakening."
This transformation can be quite disturbing for a husband who isn't prepared to handle it. But for those men who have always thought that their wives were not only devoted to them but should be admired, even lusted after by other men, it is a dream come true. Contrary to the most commonly held belief that all cuckold husbands are by default the submissive type with a small penis inferiority complex, most of these men are actually extremely confident in their masculinity and their "manhood". They also report having no desire to have sex with other women. Their hotwife is almost always the sole focus of all their sexual fantasy and activity. In my experience, this may be the only class of men who can actually be believed when reporting this.
In some circles a woman may wear a bold ankle bracelet on her right ankle to tell men "in the know" that she's a hotwife. (At the same time, most women who wear ankle bracelets do so without realizing the possible significance.) Once seen as a hotwife, she may flirt with select men, making it clear that she's available for sex.
Women As Sex Objects?
Many women feel that being a hotwife turns a woman into a sex object. This seems to be primarily based on the premise that enjoying sex is a masculine prerogative. However, more and more women are finding that this is not so.
Most women have lived their lives trying to act "like proper women" and shunning men "who have one thing on their minds." Now, according to one woman, "I let guys know I like sex."
Thus, she may soon get beyond, "what other people will think" and concentrate on the pleasures of the sexual experience — in particular, experiencing regular orgasms. This is often bolstered by the excitement that surrounds the culturally taboo aspects of a married women having sex with other men.
Usually it's the Husband's Idea
All of this notwithstanding, the cuckold husband/hotwife phenomena is typically the idea of the husband who not only knows about the high number of female affairs, but is even sexually excited by visualizing another man having sex with his wife.
According to one husband, "I had to really change my view about how a wife is supposed to be, especially with guys finding out she's 'available' even though she's married to me. But now I really get off on having a woman that guys think is hot and who they want to have sex with. Fact is, instead of being embarrassed or defensive, I brag about how she loves sex, and then I casually mention that this sure makes her a lot different than most wives. In a very good way."
According to another husband, "…as far back as I can remember in our marriage, I've always been turned on and excited by the idea of encouraging her to let guys give her all the sexual attention she can handle. …She and I feel closer and more attracted to each other because of all the attention she gets from men. Especially the younger guys. They all think she is hot and they're right! My wife feels that as long as we are together when she's with another guy, everything is OK. It's a huge turn on for both of us."
From her husband's perspective, he has long ago ridded himself of the "fallen woman baggage" that pervades most of our culture, the fact that his wife is pursued by men, makes herself available to men, and sometimes has sex with other men, introduces a bit of competition for her. This can strengthen the husband's resolve to "treat her right" although most husbands with hot wives already have a sort of "wife worship" fetish you might call it. They tend to buy their wives pretty clothes, take them out, and tell them how attractive they think they are and make them feel that they are attractive to other men.
He may fantasize about a powerful (safe) man sexually awakening and dominating her, and forcing her to break free of sexual inhibitions. Some husbands know how exciting a new sexual partner and experience can be, and want to offer some other men this experience with their wives.
A husband may also fantasize about having a wife that is, to a degree, driven by both a physical and a psychological need for sex. Visualizing or seeing first-hand other men meeting this need in her —but only with his permission— may excite him.
The Woman's Perspective
Women have a different perspective on being a hotwife, of course. According to one woman, "I've got a sense of freedom in enjoying the company of men and not being paranoid about a jealous husband, or even being worried about what people will think. If I want to have sex with a guy I find attractive, all I have to do is tell my husband and I have the freedom to do it. For me, having my husband there is a huge part of the turn on. Knowing it excites him makes it more exciting for me. Of course I'm excited that a younger, good looking guy wants me and thinks I'm hot, I'd be lying if I said I didn't. But just sleeping with another guy without my husband feels more like cheating than a turn on. Some women go on dates without their husbands and a lot of husbands are OK with that. For me, I want my husband with me. I want him to see me being taken by another man. It's really hot, for both of us."
At the same time, the hotwife does not want jealousy or resentment to ruin her marriage or threaten the unusual freedom she enjoys, a freedom she knows that very few husbands would be willing to grant. Therefore, she needs to be careful to be totally open and honest to her husband about her lovers. This means that there will be no secret conversations or secret meetings with men. It may also mean that the husband may want to approve of the men she has sex with.
The cuckold husband may want his wife to announce her sexuality by wearing revealing clothes. For example, he may accompany her to a night spot in a distant city and have her dress in ultra-revealing clothes or tell her to go out without wearing any panties. This can serve to get them both used to the resulting male attention. Rather than being jealous, having a wife that is seen by other men as sexually "hot" may provide him with an ego boost. (Dare we suggest that for some men hot wives are replacing hot cars as a source of pride.) Thus, while the male and female motivations might be quite different in the cuckold husband-hotwife phenomena, the ultimate goal can be the same.
The husband will have to deal with meeting men who have had or want to have sex with his wife. To compensate for any suspected loss of his virility, the husband may remind others of his own previous sexual escapades. At the same time to prove his lack of jealousy, he may freely admit to men that his wife regularly enjoys sex with different men, and he may even subtly offer her to select men. According to one man, "I like to set things in motion like that just to see what happens."
The Quintessential Issue
What may seem desirable for the husband or wife while under the influence of testosterone, libido or fantasy, may later seem like a huge mistake. The result may be regret and marital estrangement.
Clearly, the cuckold husband/hotwife idea is at odds with cultural conditioning and human tendencies toward jealousy and possessiveness. Although these traits may not be desirable, they are the norm and must be recognized. Even assuming that both partners are okay with going in this direction, most of society isn't. With most people there is still a sigma associated with a promiscuous wife and a husband that lets his wife have extramarital sex. Most people who find out about this will respond negatively toward both partners.
This can be a problem in a work environment where "character" is a part of job performance and promotion considerations. (A common male chauvinistic attitude with roots in the "wife as the husband's property" notion says that a husband should keep his wife "under control," and if she has affairs she definitely isn't "under control.")
While many couples are able to keep their sexual activities private, they may live with the fear that they may be found out. At the same time, self-employed people who live in large urban areas, or people who work around like-minded individuals probably won't have this concern.
All this being said, given the ever-increasing number of affairs, and the emerging attitudes about condoned affairs in countries such as Japan, one wonders if somewhere down the road to cultural enlightenment U.S. society won't be ready to accept open relationships. We seem to be in the early stages of that now.
Although the transition will certainly be bumpy, if we are able to shift our emphasis to love and commitment to hold relationships together, rather than the refutable doctrines about sexual exclusivity which simply cater to jealousies and insecurities, it would not only eliminate much heartache, but it would remove many of the "justifications" for dissolving relationships and an ever increasing divorce rate.

(WMC-TV) - A woman was abducted from one bank and forced to withdraw money from another Monday.
The 46-year-old victim was simply trying to deposit a check at the Regions Bank on Covington Pike when a man showed up. While in the parking lot, he asked her for directions.
When she got out of her vehicle, he forced her back in. Police say he threatened to hurt the woman if she did not drive to a nearby store to pick up an alleged female accomplice.
Surveillance photos taken inside the Regions Bank on Austin Peay show a woman in white with the victim. The alleged kidnapper forced the 46-year-old to drain her account.
Also in the photos, a male suspect is seen in dress clothes and a fedora. He waited across the street while the victim and her captor went inside and withdrew $1,500 dollars from the account.
The victim was not hurt, but no arrests have been made.
The Memphis Police Department needs someone to come forward with information to help solve this crime. If you can help call CrimeStoppers at 528-CASH.

Best of Open Source Software Awards 2009
InfoWorld's 2009 Bossies spotlight today's Top 40 open source products for business and IT prosFollow @infoworld
Intalio has been criticized regarding its open source claims, most likely because the company does not provide source code on its Web site (where binaries of the free community edition can be downloaded). However, Intalio's enterprise edition customers do get full access to source code, and the source code of community edition components -- which fall under Apache and Eclipse licenses -- are obtainable from their community-based repositories.
Intalio's Eclipse-based graphical modeler simplifies process design while the Intalio Server provides an extensible plug-in environment to connect most enterprise infrastructures. The Tempo framework (part of the server) adds human workflow and connectors to a variety of technologies including BPEL, Web services, REST, and XForms, while Intalio's underlying ecosystem stretches from lifecycle management tools to deployment monitoring. A new perk comes by way of the OpenPMF 2.0 framework, which is now included for application security. Your developers don't need to be security experts to configure security properly.
Intalio has been working to plug CRM functionality into the mix, but so far those capabilities remain basic. Another nit: Apache Geronimo is the only application server supported in the community edition.
However, new beta features reflect enterprise needs, including a business rules engine, Ajax-driven forms for easier editing, and a more streamlined deployment interface. The full enterprise edition also includes BAM (business activity monitoring), a portal interface, ECM (enterprise content management) based on Alfresco, fail-over clustering, and support for application servers beyond Apache Geronimo.
Free vs. free
Clearly, as open source marches into the enterprise the term "open source" no longer equates with "free of charge." Free open source makes good sense if the abbreviated features or limited number of seats in community versions serve your business needs. Otherwise costly consulting and customization charges may begin to outpace savings on commercial licensing.
Although many companies will find the free versions of open source applications sufficiently appointed for small workgroups and department level projects, purchasing a license and support package will still frequently reap a better deal, feature by feature, than you'll find in closed commercial offerings.

Another day, another
LAPD official going before the cameras trying to polish the badge so to
speak. This time it was Deputy Chief Mark Perez, head of what's
called the "Professional Standards Bureau'.
By all accounts a fine man,
Perez was the SME (subject matter expert) in LAPD parlance on the controversial Board of Rights process that led
to Christopher Dorner's firing and ultimately, his homicidal
carnage. Perez was served up, so to speak, because the police
wanted to provide someone to clarify the ''misinformation'' out there that's
been reported post Dorner about the Board of Rights process. When it was my
turn, I asked the Deputy Chief what ''misinformation'' the department wanted to clarify.
His answer was ''that the system is someone skewed or unfair."Well, here's the deal: That isn't ''misinformation." That's the opinion of many officers who've come forward to us and in
particular to our legal analyst Robin Sax, to say--in layman's terms--they
were screwed in the Board of Rights hearing. But in the LAPD's eyes, news
organizations trying to responsibly analyze these claims are guilty of
spreading ''misinformation'' as if we were some cold war CIA backed black
ops group telling the Russians we were going to invade, say, England in
order to get them to divert resources to protect it while we were secretly
planning to invade, say, Fuji? You get the idea. Anything that is
contrary to their official stance is ''misinformation." Well at least
they're watching the news when they're not making it. At any rate,
Perez admirably and clearly answered any and all questions patiently and as
fully as he could, and now we know what we already knew, that the LAPD
believes it's disciplinary system is fair, unbiased and well thought out--A
system, ironically, that was put in place in the '30s specifically to be fair
to officers who were victimized by corrupt LAPD brass that could basically fire
anyone it wanted to for basically any reason. Traffic tickets don't really cut it, and
having said all the above, I also want to say that I sincerely appreciate every
cop out there who puts his life on the line to protect us every day. I'm just
making the point that no organization is perfect which, to its credit, the
LAPD readily admits.
As far as bugs go, caterpillars are usually pretty tame – except for one.

A word from VIA Italian Table
In the beautiful hills of Tuscany, and in the cities and villages that dot the countryside we discovered a simple food paradise which we were eager to bring closer to home. We created VIA to offer you those culinary gems from our visits to Italy in combination with old family recipes, as well as American favorites. VIA captures the rare rustic charm of Italian cooking and dining. Italians love to eat outdoors, so we have created a beautiful three season patio at VIA so our guests can dine al fresco whenever possible. VIA is the essence of Italian dining full of charm and great aromas with our open kitchen complete with brick oven bread, baked daily, hearty meats such as tenderloin, pork and chicken slowly turning and roasting on our spit, and the joys of gelato being created right before your eyes.Continued

- Good (not great)CantonFoodieDined on 8/30/2014A large venue with a lot of activity. Nice open kitchen. Food was O.K. but not outstanding. In our party of 6 everyone enjoyed their meal but no one raved about it. Reasonably priced and a good selection. Service was adequate ad pleasant but with a few slips. Water glasses were never refilled and a long pause between ordering dessert and receiving it.Special Features:
- Fabulous Foodjoely339Dined on 8/26/2014Very generous portions - Antipasto to Share served 7!!! Calamari was cooked perfectly.

- sunflowerLindaDined on 8/23/2014Went to Via Italian a year ago and the food was great, not this time. I could of got a better meal at Carrabba's or cooking it myself. I got the Ragu of Meats and I would say they are going for quantity not quality ( I threw out the take home just couldn't bring myself to eat it again). The dish simply had no taste at all. It's a shame because the service was great and I love the ambience.Special Features:
- Via is excellent!DB1969Dined on 8/23/2014The food at VIA is remarkable and the ambiance is second to none in my opinion. I had the braised short ribs and my girlfriend had the filet mignon. Both were exceptional! I'd also try the raspberry mojito as well. You simply can't go wrong at VIA. It's my favorite restaurant in Worcester, which includes their sister establishments 111 Chophouse and the Sole.Special Features:

- Great ServiceAugustBirthdayGirlsDined on 8/17/2014Went to lunch with a friend to celebrate both our birthdays. Our server saw our gift and asked if it was our birthdays and of course we said yes. My sirloin steak dish with spinach and potatoes was excellent. My friend had the chicken and kale salad. She said the chicken was dry. Other than that everything was great. Love the Flirtini drink, so yummy. We stayed for a couple of hours chatting it up and before the bill came our server brought us both a plate with happy birthday written on both plates with a berry sauce and a scoop of ice cream. We that that was so nice of her. I wish I could remember our servers name but in any case she was fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Dinner with 3 CouplesFoodiz4LifeDined on 8/16/2014The free valet service was ready to go when we arrived and we were in the restaurant in seconds. The hostess accommodated our arrival request for outdoor seating without any issue (so tired of service providers rolling their eyes or sighing when you request something "extra" . We were provided a great spot outside and had plenty of room, unlike outdoor seating at many other places. The food was great and arrived all together and piping hot - both keys to great service. The dinner was part business and part social and we were able to talk comfortably without raising our voices. All in all, this one exceeded expectations. we'll all be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent! Great Food and Service.SheldonZDined on 8/16/2014We've dined at Via several times, lunch and dinner. This was a special occasion dinner for us, and it was a smash hit. The food was interesting and very well prepared (you don't see Roasted Suckling Pig - which was delicious - on many menus). Our party of six enjoyed every dish we had - Scallops Caponata, Seafood Marinara, Braised Short Ribs and more. Not your typical Italian restaurant fare. Service was outstanding - well timed, attentive and friendly. Ambiance was cheerful. The Espresso Brownie Sundae is one of the best desserts we've had anywhere. This visit was outstanding.Special Features:

- Average mealChazDined on 8/15/2014Nothing at all stood out over the course of this meal, overly dense bread to start, overly greasy arinchini, a dry boring salad and a decent bologenese
- Underwhelming flavorsfoodaciousDined on 8/14/2014The atmosphere and decor were great, however the food was lacking flavor. Not a fan of the Tiramisu, wasn't sweet, very dense & dry. Definately not a Foodie place and WAY to expensive for what is delivered.Special Features:
- Great Find in WorcesterKellyDined on 8/14/2014My dining companion and I were celebrating a milestone birthday and Via fit the bill perfectly. The atmosphere and cuisine were perfect for a special occasion. The service was good (but not great) and the whole experience was very pleasant. We would definitely go back.Special Features:
- Delicious VIA experience!PattyPVIPDined on 8/12/2014We just discovered VIA, which features very fresh, well-prepared Italian food. We had the meat and cheeses platter which was very good. The Buratta/tomato salad was also delicious, though the tomatoes could have been a little more ripe. pasta was prepared al dente, the bruschetta was a delight, and the trout with fregole was outstanding. The gelati/sorbetto selection is very tasty. We sat outside on a perfect evening. The valet parkers are also speedy, friendly and gracious. We went back a second time a week later, and everything again was great, though the pasta with vodka sauce was very different from the first time we had it. Salmon entree was great, and the papardelle with Bolognese sauce was outstanding. Very enjoyable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Serviceshrewsbury99Dined on 8/8/2014The place is beautiful and the food is great but the warm,personal service from the wait staff makes this a really pleasureable dining experience. Even the guys who park your car(for $3.00 well worth not having to find a parking space on Shrewsbury St) are nice. I highly recommend their pork dishes which are hard to find on other menus in the area. A real bargain during Restaurant week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As good as it getsKkmEsquireDined on 8/7/2014We had a delicious meal a Via. No, it was FANTASTIC. Clearly, the chef has put a great deal of care into creating each dish, using seasonal offerings to complement each delicious item. Don't miss out on the lobster "BLT" app! SERVICE: From the greeting to the final check-to-change, Via's wait staff knows their timing. As someone who worked in the restaurant business for 10 years, I play special attention to this aspect of service, one that is often overlooked by restaurants. Kudos to Via for hiring and training wait staff that understand the importance of great service! Our dining experience was made truly special by the waiters who tended to us. And as a result, we will gladly make the 40 minute drive back to Via again and again.Special Features:

- Former good restaurant goes badSelectiveDined on 7/29/2014The first three years I lived in Worcester this was on of my favorite places to eat and I ate there often and recommended it to others. No more! The last two times I have eaten there the food was terrible. On Tuesday evening, 7/29, was especially horrible. One of my guests ordered the braised short rib and it arrived very over cooked, dry and crusty burned around the edges. Ditto the Tuscan Pork chop ordered by another guest, which was so overcooked it was like cardboard. My wife's veal was uneatable and my pork shank had a sauce on it that was foul. Too bad! This was once a great dinning place. I will never go there again.

Living the Fresh Food Fantasy Around the Clock in Vanuatu
It looks local, feels local, and tastes local. Vanuatu's Port Vila Market is a cocktail of smells, colours, and tribal languages. The open market conjures up an undeniable excitement amongst ni-vans (native Vanuatuans) and throws a feast of culture at wandering tourists who follow their nose to the epicenter of the island's food supply. Vegetables used in local cuisine ooze out of woven banana-leaf baskets and stone stoves sizzle with hot meals served on long communal tables. Chow down on a lunch of laplap, a staple meal of cabbage, banana leaves, root veggies, and meat cooked underground, knowing you'll be back for freshly cracked coconut at 4am. Stall owners work, sleep, and eat at the market making it a 24-hour hub of all things edible.

The S25B is an electric-condenser microphone that has been designed for acoustic bass. All of the parameters that are problematic for the double bass have been addressed. To be able to get the most gain before feedback it uses a very tight pattern to give a high rejection to surrounding noise, at the same time reproducing accurately the subtleties of the bass.
As placement is especially important with an instrument that has a fine finish and varying dimensions, this microphone's attachment mechanism is designed to secure the mic to the bass in different positions taking seconds to attach. This mechanism is fitted with natural soft suede so as not to mark or mar instrument. The String Bass mic is suspended in a 4-point isolation ring eliminating sympathetic vibrations and handling noise.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! (Well, almost).
The SPP Holiday Collection will be available beginning Wednesday, October 31st! Email firstname.lastname@example.com to get your hands on a copy of our digital booklet - full of card designs, colorway options, customized address stamps, FAQs and pricing! - on the morning of Halloween.
Happy Holidays, y'all!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Goebels and Sweet Peach Paper. Now that our (extra late!) cards are off in the mailbox, I figured it was time to show these off on the blog. And a little snow even came our way in Georgia to give us a pretty photo shoot.
It's been a great year full of lots of adventures. I am so thankful for the grace upon grace the Lord has brought to our lives, and for all of you who have supported this endeavor to launch Sweet Peach Paper. I could not have done it without each and every one of you. (Extra gratitude goes to Shaun Menary, my constant advice giver, business manager, photographer extraodinaire … I am so thankful for you.). Can't wait to see what 2011 brings for this little Goebel family and for Sweet Peach Paper!
{ all photos courtesy of the all powerful iPhone 4. }
{ UPDATE :: The links to Jess' site were incorrect. You can click away now! }
What a Christmas gift … Sweet Peach Paper is on the Jess Barfield Photography Blog, again!
{ snapshot from Jess Barfield Photography Blog. }
It only took a couple email exchanges and a fun hour at Susan Ross' bridal shower soiree, and Jess and I were instant friends. When Jess asked me to design the Barfield's Christmas Card this year, I was thrilled!
Jess's creativity and her affinity for paper make me downright happy. Our meeting to discuss their Christmas Card design was full of lots of laughter, exchanging ideas, and of course a quick trip to the glove box of Jess's car to gawk at her beautiful letterpress wedding invitations.
The front of Barfield Christmas Card featured a photo of the new addition to Jess and Blake's family, their golden retriever puppy, Charley. On the back of the card, a strip of photos from their May wedding popped against a striped background. A tag wishing their friends "a very merry Christmas" tied around the card with twine, to add a little something extra. Of course this tucked into a kraft - always - envelope with coordinating address labels. Lots and lots of yummy bunting all over these babies. Mmmmm. I love it.
Check back later for real live photos of these Christmas keepsakes.

The wife of Ashland's police chief has been charged in connection to the shooting that left the chief in critical condition.
Felecia Ann Davis, 42, is in custody in the Randolph County Jail after officials with the ABI charged her with attempted murder. Investigators say Davis shot her husband, Police Chief Benny Davis, in the chest around 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2.
Several law enforcement agencies responded to the scene of the shooting in the 400 block of Patty Lane in Ashland, including Ashland and Lineville police departments, the Clay County Sheriff's Office and Clay County Rescue Squad.
The Clay County Rescue Squad treated Chief Davis at the scene for a gunshot wound, then he was taken to UAB Hospital. Davis remains in critical, but stable, condition at UAB.
Davis was shot in the chest and the bullet cracked a rib, damaged his colon and lodged in his back, according to Ashland Mayor Larry Fetner. And while Davis remains in critical condition today, the mayor said he seemed more responsive.
The mayor said word of the shooting spread quickly in the small town.
"Of course, naturally it kind of surprised me. But we're in a small town, so the rumor had gotten out that that's what happened...but we didn't know. As long as they've been married, I didn't know of any trouble or dispute between them so I was really surprised," said Fetner.
Mayor Fetner says the chief and Felecia Davis have only been married a short time, but he would often see her accompany him to city council meetings.
Authorities say Felecia Davis is being held in Randolph County because she used to work at the Clay County Jail. She is being held on a $75,000 bond.

SAGWA members are invited to the annual meeting Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014 at 6PM. The location is the Saegmuller room of the Rock Spring Church, 5010 Little Falls Road, Arlington, VA 22205. Guest speaker Russell Fallstad will be presenting on Suzuki Early Childhood Education.
The meeting agenda will include election of new board members. See candidate information at http://www.sagwa.org/page-1427868. Election ballots are available in PDF and Word formats.
Hailed for his "glorious strength" and "elegance" (New York Concert Review), Russell Fallstad has blazed an impressive trail as violinist and violist since beginning Suzuki lessons in the Minnesota public school system.
Violinist, DJ, songwriter, and music producer Russell Fallstad tours internationally and records with the renowned rock-pop-hiphop-violin duo, The Dueling Fiddlers. He began violin/viola lessons at age 5 in the public schools in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and received two classical performance degrees from Northwestern University. Shortly after college, he founded the Fry Street String Quartet, mentoring with classical legends Isaac Stern, The Juilliard Quartet, and The Emerson Quartet. He subsequently toured and recorded with the Fry Street Quartet for 12 years before taking a hiatus from the classical world. His latest project is the release of a new method for learning music at all ages called the HeartStrings Method. He recently founded a school of the same name (HeartStrings Academy) in Lewisburg, WV, and is working on an international release of the program online. Russell has taught young children at Northwestern University, The Western Springs School of Talent Education/Naperville Suzuki School, The Music Institute of Chicago; he has taught String Pedagogy at DePaul University; and he founded the Suzuki Pedagogy Program at Utah State University's Caine School of the Arts, while a member of their string college-level performance faculty for 7 years. Russell recently worked with actors in the Hollywood movie "A Late Quartet," as musical coach during filming, has numerous videos on YouTube, and appears in an episode of the PBS children's program, "Abracadabra."

NEW YORK -- Every five days, Felix Hernandez makes Seattle just so much better.
King Felix dominated the Yankees in their own ballpark again, helping the light-hitting, last-place Mariners look like world beaters by pitching a two-hitter for his third shutout of the season in a 1-0 win over New York on a sticky, sunny Saturday.
"That's probably the best start I've seen as a manager," Seattle's Eric Wedge said. "In a 1-0 ballgame, he knows one pitch can be the ballgame. That was just special stuff to watch today. What you saw today, you're not going to see anything better than that."
It's one of the best starts the Bronx has seen from a visiting pitcher in a while. According to Baseball-reference.com, the last pitcher to win a 1-0 complete game at either Yankee Stadium was Cleveland's Greg Swindell in September 1988.
The last pitcher to win 1-0 while allowing two hits or less in the Yankees' ballpark was Baltimore's Jim Palmer, who pitched a two-hitter on June 1, 1978.
Hernandez (10-5) outdid Hiroki Kuroda in a duel of pitchers who hadn't lost since June. Mike Carp hit an RBI single in the second inning for Seattle, which bounced back from having its seven-game winning streak ended the night before. The Yankees have lost 10 of 15.
After Robinson Cano doubled with two outs in the first, Hernandez didn't allow a runner to second. Only seven balls were even hit out of the infield -- all to center until Derek Jeter flied out to right field for the second out of the ninth.
"Even on a Felix day, I still figured there'd be some better swings out there, and there were a couple balls hit hard, but that was outstanding," Seattle shortstop Brendan Ryan said. "That changeup, it defies science."
It was the All-Star right-hander's second shutout in five starts at the new Yankee Stadium. Hernandez has the ballpark's lowest career ERA of any pitcher with at least two starts there. He lowered his ERA to 1.13 in the stadium that opened in 2009. He beat the Yankees 7-0 in the Bronx on June 30, 2010.
On Saturday, he faced the top of the Yankees order in the ninth and retired Curtis Granderson, Jeter and Cano in order, fanning Cano to end the game in a breezy 2 hours, 32 minutes.
"The thing was, he was never in any bad counts, really. I think he had one or two walks," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "You look, he threw about a ball a hitter, so he was never in any bad counts."
Overall, it was the seventh career shutout for the All-Star right-hander. Hernandez struck out six and walked two -- both with two outs.
"I hate that," Hernandez said. "When you get a quick two outs and then you walk somebody."
It was about all he or the Mariners had to complain about, even with Kuroda being his stingy self.
Kuroda (10-8) left in the seventh after he hit Ryan with a pitch following a one-out double by Eric Thames. The Mariners shortstop went down on the plate and stayed there for a while, before he walked to the dugout with a trainer gingerly holding his left arm steady. Munenori Kawasaki pinch-ran, but he and Thames were stranded when Boone Logan retired Dustin Ackley and Michael Saunders.
Kuroda gave up seven hits and a walk, with four strikeouts for his first loss since June 19. He went 4-0 in seven starts in between.
Carp's single scored the first run Kuroda has allowed in a day game this season, ending a run of 31 scoreless innings. He stranded seven Mariners runners.
Seattle left two on in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. The Mariners had runners on first and third with one out in the sixth, but Kyle Seager popped up and Casper Wells grounded out.
The Mariners' .233 team average is third from last in the major leagues.
"He was better than us," Jeter said. "That's pretty much all you can say."

Installing solar power in Denmark is http://www.asian-americans.com/best-price-for-generic-viagra going faster than planned, and the country has already reached its goal of 200 megawatts of solar capacity. This amount was the goal that the Danish government had set to reach by 2020.
At present, the country is adding 36 MW of solar panels each month, and industry predictions are that there will be 1000 MW of solar panels (five times the goal) installed by 2020. Denmark has one of the highest levels of renewable power installed as a percentage of total power requirements. The national goals on that front are 35 percent (to be reached by 2020) and 100 percent (to be reached by 2050). More than 20 percent of viagra no prescription cheap Danish power is supplied from renewable sources at present.
The Danish energy market makes this an attractive option for homeowners and levitra medication other building owners. "The demand for solar cells has increased dramatically since net metering was implemented in 2010. Net metering gives private households and public institutions the possibility of 'storing' surplus production in the we like it express viagra delivery public grid, which makes solar panels considerably more attractive."
via: Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Press Release
written by Thorbjørn Aksel Nielsen, October 11, 2012
The problem is, according to the electricity companies, that homeowners are given incentive to invest in solar panels in a way that negatively influences the electric market in general. It is actually more expensive to produce energy because more solar panels are joining the system.
Our current government are trying to change this so new laws are in place as soon as two weeks from now, practically disincentivising consumers as it may no longer be economically feaseable to buy solar panels.
The good thing, however, is that those investing BEFORE will not be hit by the changes - that's what we've been promised at least.
Hopefully they will be changing the registration taxation system on cars soon, moving away from taxation based on order cheapest viagra online prices and towards revarding low-emission cars instead of small cars.

Is it possible to upgrade panels when more efficient ones get developed?"
Yes you can add more solar panels using micro-inverters, one for each panel. In 5 years time it is like that some manufacturer add a micro-inverter already at the factory and thus you do not need a central inverter and each panel can be of a different size, make, model, etc without negatively impacting performance. At present micro-inverter technology is more expensive but that could change just like pocket calculators where expensive when first introduced but are cheap today.

You probably seen the ads on TV lately, rickety flying machines making the plunge from great heights. It's all a part of the annual Red Bull Flugtag, and it's happening this weekend in five cities across the country.
This year, a team from the valley will be participating at the event in Chicago on Saturday with a little Fargo flair.
They're called Lucky Lindegaard and the team crafted a life-size bison. As you may have guessed, the team is comprised of NDSU students. They made their mighty bison from PVC piping, hula hoops, and some paper mache.
The guys say they have the science just right to beat the 30 other teams in the competition.
"We have a pretty high-tech design that we stole from NASA," explains Thompson, North Dakota resident Andrew Galegher. "We've got a separating launch craft from out main fuselage so when we take off here, this cart, all of the wheels we're pushing from, are going to separate right there, So we're going to drop a good 50-75 pounds there. That should give us just enough lift to clear Lake Michigan."
So where did the name Lucky Lindegaard come from? It is actually the combination of the names Darren Linde and Tyler Orgaard-- two North Dakota National Guard soldiers who were killed during service in Afghanistan last year.
Lucky Lindegaard is the first team from North Dakota to be chosen to compete in the Red Bull competition. Valley News Live will keep you updated on how they do.

How can design-driven and vocational education improve our schools and communities? Join our live Q&A on Feb 5th at 3PM
In 2009, author and TED speaker Emily Pilloton moved to Bertie County, North Carolina — the poorest county in the state with a population of just 20,000. There she and her partner Matthew Miller launched Studio H, a design/build program aimed to inspire creativity in high school kids.
Through the eyes of her students, Pilloton tells the story of the group's hopes, failures, triumphs, and the power of design-driven education. According to Pilloton, we can dramatically revamp vocational education and build the change we wish to see in the world. Ultimately her students were given the key to the city by their mayor for initiating, designing, and building three public chicken coops and a 2000-square-foot public farmer's market.

Feb 5 2013: We have since moved our program to REALM Charter School in Berkeley, CA. We taught two full years in Bertie and a total of 26 graduated from our program. In Berkeley, the heart and soul of Studio H remains the same: we design and build projects that students initiate, based on the context of the place and people. So we may not be building a farmers market, because Berkeley has plenty of those, but one need our students identified at REALM was the shortage of space. We only have 8 classrooms and need 9. So they said "let's build it ourselves." We are in the process of building an 800-square-foot space on school grounds for our school community, because as one student said so eloquently, "the first community we belong to is our school community." We also just finished concrete public furniture, and individual hand-holds for a rock climbing wall. We may take on a skate park and skateboard-building lab next!

BlackBerry Skin Case for Tour 9630
Pricing not available
The AfterShokz Sportz M2 will appeal to people who want comfortable headphones that you don't have to wear in your ears. Just don't expect them to provide a great listening experience -- for music, anyway.
If the price feels right, you like options, and you don't have a pet, the Eureka could be a great option.
The Whirlpool WCM50522AS is a fine microwave, but not worth the asking price.
This Amana is a perfectly fine appliance, but at this price, we expect a little more than just "fine."
Not only is the Asustor AS-604T an excellent NAS server for serious network storage needs, it's also very easy to use thanks to the extremely well-designed user interface.
Storage-hungry users, especially tech-savvy ones, will find the Seagate Barracuda XT a great balance of storage space, backward compatibility, and speedy performance.
The Momentus XT is an excellent replacement for traditional laptop hard drives. It offers large capacities and SSD-like performance at a fraction of the cost.
The Panasonic AS530 series LCD ain't no plasma, but it offers attractive design and decent image quality for a budget price.
If you're looking for a reliable, no-frills electric range with a fashionably modern look, this Whirlpool fits the bill.

Recessed Dryer Box Review Model 425
Matt Risinger
Squashed Dryer Vents are pretty common. How long do you think this Dryer takes to dry a load of clothes?
The back side of the laundry room wall showing the Dryer Box in place with an upflow exhaust.
Super easy to install.
Here's the Dryer Box prior to sheetrock installation.
These run about $30 and are well worth the minimal price.
If you've ever installed a Clothes Dryer you know that the vent at the back is in jeopardy of being pinched off the second you push the unit back into place.
The simple way to eliminate this problem is by using a recessed box. The DryerBox Model 425 gives you a few inches back into your laundry room, and prevents the inevitable kink with an exhaust collar flush to the wall.
I've been using these for about 10 years now, and finally when I was on the job site yesterday it hit me that not everyone has seen these before. Here's an Amazon link to the Model 425 shown. Cheap but effective solution for this common problem.
Risinger Homes is a custom builder and whole house remodeling contractor that specializes in Architect driven and fine craftsmanship work. We utilize an in-house carpentry staff and the latest building science research to build dramatically more efficient, healthy and durable homes.

Many kinds of gaits and gazes greeted the new school year at Westmere Elementary in Guilderland.
Ann-Marie McManus, who describes herself as "an educator through and through," left behind the classroom she loved to become an assistant principal at Guilderland High School.
GUILDERLAND — A Guilderland man was arrested Friday on six counts of promoting a sexual performance of a child, a felony, and more charges may follow.
GUILDERLAND — Scott LoBaido travels the country painting American flags in tribute to those who protect his freedom.
This week, he painted a three-dimensional mural on the brick wall of Town 'N' Country Lanes, on Western Avenue, to honor Major General Harold J. Greene, who was shot and killed in Afghanistan in August.
ALBANY — Brenda McClaine agreed to a plea deal Tuesday for one count of third-degree grand larceny, a felony, that will put her in jail for six months and on probation for five years. She is to be sentenced on Oct. 28.
Had McClaine gone to trial instead, she could have served a maximum of two-and-a-third to seven years.

Stephen Starr Gift Card
Such choices! I received a $200 gift card to any Stephen Starr restaurant from some special people last night. When I read the names I knew I needed your help to choose--we've been to none! If it were just me, I'd pick Morimoto, but my husband doesn't "do" much fish in any form, so maybe that wouldn't be a good choice. Or would it?
Given that I love fish, but hubby doesn't; neither of us drink alcohol, which of these Starr places do you think we'd most enjoy: Tangerine, Alma de Cuba, Barclay Prime, Striped Bass, or Morimoto? What should we expect from each, in summer, 2008?
EAgerly anticipating your reply!
If you both enjoy great steak then Barclay Prime is a good choice. Also, consider Buddakan. They have a wide range of Asian influenced food and really fun desserts.
I would vote for Barclay Prime, hands down, if you plan on using the whole amount in one night. Even without alcohol, you can certainly spend $200 there and their steaks, apps, and sides are great. You could also spread it out over two nights with a stop at Buddakan and Alma de Cuba. You might go over a little bit, but again, without alcohol, you would be close.
re: Decker
That is something that didn't occur to me--that because we don't drink, the price points would be such that we might use this card for two different Starr places, and have two unusual dining experiences we might not have otherwise.
Can you give me an idea of what to expect at Alma de Cuba. Tangerine, or even El Vez? My husband isn't a huge meat eater either--I'm not sure either of us would truly appreciate BArclay Prime. We are adventuresome, other than not getting into super-spicy for me.
OUr priorities would be for great, invovative food, interesting atmosphere, but not at the price of being extremely noisy. We would be prepared to eat early in order to reduce the noise factor.
This is all new territory for me, but I knew we could depend upon fellow Chowhounds.
The Starr-virgins will report on their experiences of course!
re: Bashful3
I am a vegetarian and don't do fish, so if I might be an indication of what your husband would enjoy, I'd suggest Morimoto's and El Vez. Morimoto's has a few vegetarian dishes, including a tofu dish that's made tableside that's absolutely lovely. You'll definitely have a much easier time there than he will, but if he knows what to expect going in I think he'll do fine. They also have some of the best desserts in the city, imo.
I really like El Vez, although I'm kind of in the minority in that group on this board. Good guacamoles (a number of different kinds to choose from), a few vegetarian entrees, excellent sides (don't skip the corn on the cob), and my favorite margaritas in the city (blood orange).
The Continental and Jones are also pretty casual, and I've enjoyed a few meals there as well.
(Eat early at all of these places if you want a quieter atmosphere -- all can get pretty noisy, excepting Morimoto's.)
re: spyturtle008
If you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary, I'd do El Vez or Buddakan. When you take alcohol out of the pricing mix, that means you could probably get 2 very nice dinners for two out of that gift card. OR you could go with another non-drinking couple -adventuous meals are always more fun with 4 or more. More opportunities to get differnt dishes & share!
I really liked Alma de Cuba, but must admit that I was heavily influenced by the mojitos. Barclay Prine is wonderful, but doesn't have enough pizazz for me if I'm doing something special. Jones & Continental are too "ordinary". I need that touch of funkiness too!
re: spyturtle008
i am right with you on the guac. you can't not love it. best guac in the neighborhood.
not being drinkers - el vez might be more annoying than fun. to me, it's pretty drink-centric (thus the elaborate bar in the center). plus a $200 card would likely be three dinners there, not one!
tangerine is gorgeous but i've only been for drinks.
i would go for buddakan. i have not been in awhile, but the edamame ravioli - so good. upstairs is quieter than down.
actually, i changed my mind - if it were me, personally, i'd hold out for parc. it's supposed to open on the 13th of july.
re: Bashful3
El Vez is really just OK - from the drinks to the food. I wouldn't recommend. Also Stripped Bass will be closed.
It might be nice to check out Parc when it opens.
I would probably recommend The Continental, Barclay Prime, Buddakan and Alma de Cuba right now, although so many more are opening this year.
re: Gorp512
I like them as well.My last visit they had no problem with us ordering a couple courses of appetizers and starters and salads and no entrees. Better yet, when it became obvious our eyes had a larger appetite than our stomachs, they cancelled our last course mid way through what then became our last course!
If you're willing to wait a few weeks, you may wish to consider Parc, Starr's latest offering on Rittenhouse Square.
Park sounds interesting, Boogniah. What do you know about it? Yes, we could wait a couple of weeks. Easily.
If it isn't just limited to the current restaurants, I'd hold out for a couple weeks and check out Parc, the new brasserrie on Rittenhouse Square. It is supposed to open next week and looks like a fun space with a pretty traditional Brasserie type menu.
I love Morimoto, but without eating fish or beef, I think the menu is pretty limited. I know people who love Tangerine, and it's small plates so you could get a number of different things to try. I've never been myself, though. I find El Vez to be fine, but fairly ordinary Mex/American food. Striped Bass just closed.

re: Gorp512
An interesting menu: thanks so much, Gorp.
We were in this position at Christmas ($225 in gift cards) and opted for Tangerine -- had a great meal with one cocktail and one glass of wine, 2 apps, 2 entrees and 1 dessert and have enough left over to (almost) do a second outing. (we paid the tip to keep the second card for $100 available). Would definitely go back to Tangerine (which is as mentioned gorgeous).
re: coolgeek
I'd call
Buddakan is my favorite (agree with rabidog on the edamame ravioli) with Alma de Cuba as 2nd choice (I like the dijon salmon). Continental is good but not great (I do like brunch there), did not like El Vez at all (photo booth is cute, though), and was underwhelmed at Tangerine. I did eat at Jones once, but can't remember what I ate so I guess it was not so memorable. The tasting menu at Morimoto is great but that involves fish. Never been to Barclay Prime. I'll jump on the bandwagon encouraging you to try Parc...you know, we're all just waiting for your review :)

I'm more likely to be found writing original fiction and fanfic, but even I can't resist the reading and writing of Spuffy. A lot of my stories will likely be different styles, as I love to experiment with them.
Fog is my current story, and it's a setting that I've been kicking around for a while until a dare from a friend to create Toad started the whole affair.

Goal 4: Demonstrate courageous leadership in an increasingly diverse world
Whitworth values the role a welcoming and diverse community plays in fulfilling the university's mission to "honor God, follow Christ and serve humanity." Grounded in a biblical understanding of God's character, the university will cultivate in students, faculty, staff and trustees the capacity to relate effectively across multiple dimensions of human diversity in learning, working and living environments. During the next decade, Whitworth will focus on issues of intercultural competency and equity related to gender, race and ethnicity.
