Fast Action Football 2013 NFL Year Book Released
Downey Games is proud to announce the release of the 2013 NFL Year Book for Fast Action Football.
The E-Book version is available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_6_147&products_id=3417
The printed Year Book is available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2_148&products_id=3416
Fast Action Football, as the name would suggest, uses a Fast Action Deck to resolve games. The game is a full-featured, play-by-play game. Don't mistake this for a quick play or drive-by-drive game. The game is tailored to the solitaire gamer, plays in under an hour, and features individual players.
While those features are great, you may be thinking that they aren't necessarily unique. What sets Fast Action Football apart from other games is the Momentum Factor within the game, which makes it "feel" like the real life sport. The Momentum Factor isn't a gimmick, and it's not over stated. It is perfectly implemented to replicate the momentum shifts within the game that you see in real life on the gridiron.

As the name implies, this quick play game provides you with a final score for a hockey game. Allowing you to rapidly play games and watch standings unfold before your eyes. However, there is more to the game than just generating scores. There is plenty of excitement and drama along the way, keeping the game play exciting and compelling. You will have late in the game goals, equalizers and fantastic saves.
Each team is rated individually for Offense, Defense, Pressure situations, and Home Ice Advantage. And while there will surely be some surprises along the way, since this is a game, the accuracy of the game will astound you. We also have a normalization system for every team and league we rate, so you can play across seasons to determine the best team of all-time.
Take the ice with Downeys Final Score Hockey!

Fast Action Racing Released
Downey Games is proud to announce the release of Fast Action Racing. We have 23 different seasons available for the game at the release.
Fast Action Racing brings you all of the drama and excitement of motor racing to your tabletop. Do not let the name fool you. This is NOT a quick play game. However, it does play quickly. Our unique grid system allows you to play out an entire race in 20 minutes, once you have learned the rules.
Our grid system compresses each race into segments, making game play smooth, effortless and fast. Do not worry though; you will not miss any of the action. While you will not get all the action in minute detail, you will not miss out on lead changes, wrecks, great pit work, and mechanical problems that shape every race so uniquely. The game also lets you witness the challenges made to the race leader as well as the struggle of back markers to avoid being lapped or to rejoin the lead lap. All this action happens in a linear time span from green to checkered flag.
Fast Action Racing captures every important element of a race, produces very realistic results, and plays very quickly. And best of all, it feels like racing. No dice rolling exercises, no gimmicks, no math equations, or unrealistic tallying of numbers to determine a winner. Fast Action Racing is just that, racing, pure and simple.
The E-Book versions are available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_15_169
The Printed Game and Year Books are available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_16_170

1890 Players League for Time Travel Baseball
Downey Games is proud to announce the release of the 1890 Players League for Time Travel Baseball.
The release of this set continues our tradition of creating leagues and seasons that are often times ignored in other games.
Our Bonus for the first 25 orders for this set are some new GAMBLE cards. Unlike the GAMBLE cards offered with the 1915 Federal League set, these are more traditional in nature like those that ship with the base game.
The link to the set is here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_58_110&products_id=3201
The Players League features some very interesting elements for a replay. The top 5 teams were separated by 10 games, which keeps pennant races interesting. The league also features one truly awful team in the Buffalo Bisons who went 36-96 and finished 46.5 games behind pennant winner Boston.
Mark Baldwin of Chicago won 33 games on the mound and had an amazing 53 complete games. He also struck out 206 batters. Pete Browning led the league with a .373 average and 40 doubles. Hardy Richardson of Boston drove home 146 batters. And Hugh Duffy scored an astounding 161 runs for Chicago.
Here is a bit more about the league:
The Players' National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs, popularly known as the Players' League (sometimes rendered as Players League), was a short-lived but star-studded professional American baseball league of the 19th century. It emerged from the Brotherhood of Professional Base-Ball Players, the sport's first players' union.
The Brotherhood included most of the best players of the National League. Brotherhood members, led by John Montgomery Ward, left the National League and formed the Players' League after failing to change the lopsided player-management relationship of the National League.
The PL lasted just the one season of 1890, and the Boston franchise won the championship. Although known to historians as the Players' League, newspapers often reported the standings with the shorthand titles of "League", "Association" and "Brotherhood". The PL was well-attended, at least in some cities, but was underfunded and its owners lacked the confidence to continue beyond the one season.
In 1968, a committee appointed by Major League Baseball Commissioner William Eckert ruled that the Players' League was a major league.
The Players League Triple Crown leaders were Hall-of-Famer Roger Connor with 14 home runs, Pete Browning with a .373 batting average, and Hardy Richardson with 146 RBI. For pitchers, Mark Baldwin had 34 wins, Silver King had a 2.69 ERA, and Mark Baldwin struck out 211 batters.
On June 21 King threw an unofficial eight-inning no-hitter.
Oddly, in its one season of operation, the Players League saw seven triple plays: the Giants on June 14, the Red Stockings on June 30, the Pirates on July 15, the Pirates again on July 30, the Burghers on August 15, Ward's Wonders on September 6, and the Bisons on September 29.
** This set will most likely begin shipping on Monday. Our RLB release and the Father's Day Sale has us waiting on another shipment of card stock. If it does arrive early enough tomorrow, we will start shipping sets out tomorrow afternoon. **

2012 WTA Available for Player of the Game Tennis
Downey Games is happy to announce the release of the 2012 WTA Tour Year Book for Player of the Game Tennis.
The top 207 players on the Women's Tour are individually rated in the set. Also included are the final rankings for the season, and a complete schedule.
The E-Book is available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_14_160&products_id=3090
The Printed Set, which features die-cut player cards, is available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_9_159&products_id=3091
Player of the Game Tennis is much like our other games in the Player of the Game lineup. It plays rapidly, but offers enough detail and action to give you the story of the match.
In Player of the Game Tennis, each player is individually rated for their service game both first serves and second serves; their complete ability when receiving (again how they handle the opponent's first serve or second serve); ability to hit game winners or game losers in some cases. Other factors, like a player's fitness, whether he is a favorite, ability to handle adversity, major and minor injuries are all included. Did we mention that all of the factors above are broken down by playing surface? All aspects of a tennis match are covered.
Player of the Game is easy to learn and easy to understand. You'll be playing in no time. Each match will unfold in front of your eyes at a brisk pace. A full match in Player of the Game tennis take no longer than 10 minutes. Most matches will be completed in 5 minutes!

Four Season's from the 80s for Mean Gene Football
Downey Games is happy to announce the release of the 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973 NFL for Mean Gene's Match-Up Football.
The E-Books are available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_6_129
The Printed Year Books are available here: http://www.downeygames.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_2_127
Mean Gene's Football is a fast playing football game that factors in every player on the field.
The game features our all-new No Shuffle Fast Action Deck and Fast Results Deck which makes game play really quick.
And while the game plays great solitaire, it also has great head-to-head elements. With Mean Gene's Football, you can run right at a weak defender, or avoid the side of the field with a dominant player. Rushing plays behind an all-pro left tackle will gain more than a play behind a second stringer. Want to pick on a rookie corner? You can with Mean Gene's Match Up Football. This is a draft league gamer's dream!
Everything you see on the real field is represented in this game. And as I previously mentioned, the game plays quickly. A complete game with full stats in an hour is easily achieved.

I made this dress for me to wear at my friends wedding. I was the made of honor and wanted to wear something special. I had a vision of leather bodice combined with flowing skirt. I tried to find chiffon for the skirt but as the fabric choices are quite limited in stores in Finland I found this beautiful viscose which ended up working wonderfully. The viscose was pretty hard to work with, luckily I have serger/overlock machine to hem it with. The leather for the bodice was originally from very ugly men's leather jacket. I like the idea of recycling old materials.
I used two patterns as a guideline for the dress, the burda swing dress for the bodice and chiffon maxidress pattern for the skirt (http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/silk-chiffon-maxi-skirt). I had to alter the bodice to fit properly. I made them separately and then sew them together before sewing the zipper on the side.
This is how it turned out. I really loved my dress.
Photo credit for the first photo: Miika Ylhinen
Leather bodice from second hand material. (It was butt-ugly 80's men's leather jacket size XL)
The skirt is viscose with cotton lining.

Thank you! I also like the combination a lot!
Jun 22, 2013, 11.55 AMby claudinka
Boah, I really really adore that dress! I love the breach of style here (the nice and innocent flowers and the sexy leather ;-) I like leather bodices so much, but am really afraid of sewing with leather, as it's also expensive. But I'm thinking about using leather from an old jacket, though, that's a good idea.
Jun 22, 2013, 08.21 PMby annasalminen2
Thank you for your kind words :). The dress was a great mix of rock'n'roll and romance. I really recommend of using recycled leather as it is very expensive to buy as new. The jacked cost me 3,5€ in a second hand store and i still have material left from it to use in another projects. It was a bit of a challenge to arrange the patterns on the jacket pieces but it ended up working well. The bodice has few extra seams on it but I like how it looks. Leather it self was easier to sew than I thought. I just bought leather needles for my old sewing machine. I actually clued (special leather clue) the seam allowances to each other for extra support and left the neckline and arm holes unfinished.

David Ross: Ensure that a few don't speak for everyone Aug. 10
For the first time in Minnesota, the primary election day will be moved forward to Aug. 10. This change, from what would have been Sept. 14, may have a profound impact on the election results.By: David Ross, Budgeteer News
Our local election season is unfolding early this year. For the first time in Minnesota, the primary election day will be moved forward to Aug. 10. This change, from what would have been Sept. 14, may have a profound impact on the election results.
Parents with children in grade school and high school may still be enjoying summer vacations in August. Many of our beloved community's 20,000-plus college students most likely will not have arrived on campus by Aug. 10 for the September start of the college year.
When Aug. 10 arrives, many of our community members may not even realize the primary ballot day is no longer in September.
It is easy to imagine how our historically low primary election turnout, of approximately 25 percent of registered voters, will drop to a frighteningly low percentage. Local elected officials are predicting a voter turnout of 15 percent for the Aug. 10 primary. Minnesota Secretary of State officials are predicting an alarmingly low voter turnout of 10 percent.
With such a low number of voters taking part in the primary, those who show up and vote will have a powerful impact on which candidates survive the primary election. If we don't vote in the Aug. 10 primary, the candidate of our choice may not be on the general election ballot come Nov. 2. They may have been eliminated by the 10 percent of us who voted in the primary.
You can either take comfort in knowing, or be alarmed when considering, that local special interest groups have their eyes on the prize — the Aug. 10 primary election. The political machinery will be prepared for and participate in the primary election. Will you?
Only 80 individuals gathered in the Arrowhead Place Building in downtown Duluth last week to determine which candidates were endorsed by the local Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. I applaud those who attended. They are keeping their eyes on the prize: the primary election. For those of us who did not make this DFL endorsement event, or the other political party endorsement events, our chance to have our presence felt is the Aug. 10 primary election.
Never before will so few decide for so many — unless we engage in the political process. Vote on Aug. 10. Vote by absentee ballot, prior to Aug. 10, if you know you will not be able to vote in your precinct on primary election day.
Our beloved Emerald City on the Hill is a remarkably compelling community. Our elected officials should be equally remarkable and compelling. Let's vote to ensure it is so.

Cant believe the price for the exact product I buy for my hay fever every year through a leading company. Very good postage service, only problem I found was the actual ordering service . Could to do be more straight forward.
I dont normally bother to review items bought on line, but had to congratulate PDHsports for fantastic service, kept me informed and practically next day delivery with no extra charge. Very pleased with squash racquet as well.
Wiper blades for the wife's car - well it needed them.
Would normally get jobs like these done during the annual service - and pay loads more! Glad I ordered them online & fitted thyem no problem in a few minutes.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Bernadette Ellorin, email@example.com
NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2012 - New York nurses are caring for some of the hardest hit by the storm – going door-to-door in the Rockaways, staffing emergency medical tents in Staten Island, and taking heroic measures to care for their patients.
Teams of New York nurses went door-to-door in the Rockaways, conducting patient assessments and delivering medical care and medication to residents.
For residents trapped in their homes for days without power, heat, or hot water, this was their first contact with a medical professional since Sandy hit.
The mobile medical teams were organized by Doctors Without Borders, the Rockaways Youth Task Force, Occupy Sandy, and the New York State Nurses Association.
Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, RN, and Eileen Letzeizer, RN, led the NYSNA effort this week to install these mobile clinics in the Rockaways.
"Our RN's are working hard to meet the medical and human needs of Sandy victims in the New York Metropolitan area and beyond," said Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, RN, a nurse from Montefiore Medical Center who helped lead the NYSNA team on the Rockaways. "It's amazing to witness the human resilience and camaraderie that comes through despite Sandy's destruction. Our team of nurses is fortunate to work with Occupy Sandy and other agencies in these relief efforts."
Two nurses from Westchester Medical Center, Eileen Letzeiser, RN, and Lize Mirditaj, also helped lead the Rockaways response team.
In Staten Island, nurses are working twelve hour shifts at shelters in Susan Wagner High School and Totenville High School.
Tens of thousands of nurses and NYSNA members are at their posts in their facilities, providing uninterrupted quality medical attention to their patients.
In one of the storm's most heroic acts, Nurses at Bellevue Hospital and Coney Island Hospital, both part of the HHC system, evacuated their hospitals under very difficult circumstances.
At Roosevelt Island's Coler Hospital, nurses had to care for patients without power, heat, and hot water. Now their hospital is being powered by a heavy-duty generator that was originally slated for the Marathon.
"For many, unfortunately, relief came a little too late. Sandy's aftermath underscores the need for a truly responsive public healthcare system in New York City," said Gonzalez.
New York nurses and NYSNA will continue to organize emergency medical relief teams as long as the crisis and recovery lasts.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

I think that's actually a great tip, since, as you said, they arrely look very close at it... just verifying the times. Now if I could just figure out a way to print them up on my computer...
This trick is a little deceptive and it's beating the system so I don't condone doing it, but it works ;-).
Everytime I can possibly get a FP, I get one, for any attraction, whatever I'm closest to, if I'm not going to use it, I store it away. When I'm at WDW just wandering around a park, sometimes I flip through my little packet and see what I have a old FP for, CM's don't look at the only difference, the little date in the corner. (If it was akin to stealing another person's FP, I def. wouldn't do it!)

I'm pretty sure thermal paper with a pearlescent cast and then the particular attraction's logo would be hard to come by..
Backdoor passes are actually just printed on cheap colored paper with regular ink - getting ahold of one of thsoe would be much more "useful" but anyone who has them wont give them up.
hmmm, I still have FPs not used from a year ago
That is a pretty darn good tip. I may be doing this just to ride M:S some more. I already can ride it four time in an hour when the park opens. Then it gets pretty crowded after that. Stocking up on these just may help for that day when I am bored and need something to do.
You little Disney schemers!!
But now, you've got me thinking...
We've never used a fast pass yet. We have a lot, but that's cause we just collect them. One time Star Tours wasn't open yet, but the girl had the fast pass thing open (doing something with it) and when my husband went over to her, she said that she was sorry, the ride wasn't open yet. He told her that we just collect the fastpasses and wanted to know if he could have one. Gave it to him with no problems.

FileOpenPicker class
Represents a UI element that lets the user choose and open files.
var fileOpenPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
- [Muse()]
- [Version(0x06020000)]
The FileOpenPicker class has these types of members:
The FileOpenPicker class has these constructors.
Constructor | Description |
FileOpenPicker | Creates a new instance of a FileOpenPicker. |
The FileOpenPicker class has these methods. With C#, Visual Basic, and C++, it also inherits methods from the Object class.
Method | Description |
PickMultipleFilesAsync | Shows the file picker so that the user can pick multiple files. |
PickSingleFileAsync | Shows the file picker so that the user can pick one file. |
The FileOpenPicker class has these properties.
Property | Access type | Description |
Read/write | Gets or sets the label text of the file open picker's commit button. | |
Read-only | Gets the collection of file types that the file open picker displays. | |
Read/write | Gets or sets the settings identifier associated with the state of the file open picker. | |
Read/write | Gets or sets the initial location where the file open picker looks for files to present to the user. | |
Read/write | Gets or sets the view mode that the file open picker uses to display items. |
To get started accessing files and folders file pickers, see Quickstart: Accessing files with file pickers.
Important In Windows 8 if you attempt to display the file picker while your app is snapped, the file picker will not be shown and an exception will be thrown. You can avoid this by making sure your app is not snapped, or by unsnapping it before you call the file picker. The following code examples and the File picker sample show you how. Note that Windows 8.1 does not define a specific snapped window size. Instead, users can resize apps to any width, down to the minimum. Therefore, if your app will deploy only on Windows 8.1, you can ignore the EnsureUnsnapped function and calls to it in this topic's example code.
Windows Phone 8
This API is supported in native apps only.
The File picker sample demonstrates how to check whether the app is snapped, how to set file picker properties, and how to show a file picker so that the user can pick one file.
// Verify that we are currently not snapped, or that we can unsnap to open the picker var currentState = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.value; if (currentState === Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationViewState.snapped && !Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.tryUnsnap()) { // Fail silently if we can't unsnap return; } // Create the picker object and set options var openPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker(); openPicker.viewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.thumbnail; openPicker.suggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.picturesLibrary; // Users expect to have a filtered view of their folders depending on the scenario. // For example, when choosing a documents folder, restrict the filetypes to documents for your application. openPicker.fileTypeFilter.replaceAll([".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg"]); // Open the picker for the user to pick a file openPicker.pickSingleFileAsync().then(function (file) { if (file) { // Application now has read/write access to the picked file WinJS.log && WinJS.log("Picked photo: " + file.name, "sample", "status"); } else { // The picker was dismissed with no selected file WinJS.log && WinJS.log("Operation cancelled.", "sample", "status"); } });
For C#, the File picker sample demonstrates how to check whether your app is snapped in the EnsureUnsnapped
internal bool EnsureUnsnapped() { // FilePicker APIs will not work if the application is in a snapped state. // If an app wants to show a FilePicker while snapped, it must attempt to unsnap first bool unsnapped = ((ApplicationView.Value != ApplicationViewState.Snapped) || ApplicationView.TryUnsnap()); if (!unsnapped) { NotifyUser("Cannot unsnap the sample.", NotifyType.StatusMessage); } return unsnapped; }
The File picker sample also demonstrates how to show a file picker so that the user can pick multiple files.
Note You should always make sure that your app is not snapped (or that it can be unsnapped) and set file picker properties regardless of whether the user is picking a single file or multiple files.
openPicker.pickMultipleFilesAsync().then(function (files) { if (files.size > 0) { // Application now has read/write access to the picked file(s) var outputString = "Picked files:\n"; for (var i = 0; i < files.size; i++) { outputString = outputString + files[i].name + "\n"; } WinJS.log && WinJS.log(outputString, "sample", "status"); } else { // The picker was dismissed with no selected file WinJS.log && WinJS.log("Operation cancelled.", "sample", "status"); } });
You can also use file picker on Windows Phone. The following shows a C++ example. On Windows Phone, FileOpenPicker is supported in native apps only.
FileOpenPicker^ openPicker = ref new FileOpenPicker(); openPicker->ViewMode = PickerViewMode::Thumbnail; openPicker->SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId::PicturesLibrary; openPicker->FileTypeFilter->Append("*"); create_task(openPicker->PickSingleFileAsync()).then([this](StorageFile^ file) { if (file) { m_PickedFileName = file->Name; } else { // Operation cancelled. } });

This is a sequel to SUMMER I TURNED 13.
Matt finnishes off the summer right.
SUMMER I TURNED 13: Late Summer
The last part of the summer had been pretty uneventful. Jeff and I still hung out, and we were more open with each other. But we never did anything like we did that one day down by the creek, with Bob. There were times when it seemed like we might try something, but neither of us would make the first move.
I thought about that day down by the creek a lot when I jerked off. But I was also thinking about girls a lot more lately, too. I made out with Misty Shelton a few times at the end of the summer, and tried to get her to put her hand down my pants. That didn't work out too well.
But then in mid-august a few days before school started, I got pissed off at my family. I took off on my bike and rode the five miles into town. I wanted to get out of the country and check out the City pool and maybe see some friends if they were swimming.
I went in to the pool locker room and it looked like I had caught a swimming class of 12 to 14 year old boys showering after their lesson. I got naked in front of them and it all kinda came back. I watched them as I undressed, about 13 naked boys around my age. It was just one big communal shower room, just like it was at school.
As I undressed I felt a little more confident with some sexual experience under my belt. I'm not sure why, and I guess at the time it didn't dawn on me that it was all with other boys, funny stuff.
But watching all these naked boys showering and horsing around in the big shower, carefree with their cocks flopping about, got me thinking about the first part of the summer. It made me think that perhaps some of these boys had jerked each other off and gave each other blow jobs.
I could see them all sucking on each other's cocks out of desperation for some kind of release.
By the time I was naked my dick was feeling a little too much blood flow. Just thinking about all the blow jobs they've probley shared. I quickly put my swim suit on and got out of the locker room.
I walked out of the changing room, and into the hot sun. It helped a bit to bring me back to reality. But I couldn't shake the thought of all those naked cocks.
It wasn't too long ago I was called a natural cock sucker. But also it wasn't that long ago I had my hand up Misty Shelton's skirt almost on her pussy, she pushed my hand away, but I was close.
Was it as simple that? Would I just take what I could get at any moment?
Too much to think about, I jumped in the cold water.
The city pool was pretty big, but there were a lot of kids there today. It was Hot, as I had learned from my trek into town on my bike. It was worth it though, I can get back by dinner and nobody will know I came into town.
I swam around for a bit trying to find any friends but it was pretty crowded. I recognized a few faces but didn't see one person I knew. After a bit I decided to just take a shower and bike back home.
I walked into an empty locker room and felt relieved that I was alone. I took my wet swim suit off, and strutted around naked. I checked out my flaccid cock in the floor to ceiling mirror as I walked by it. My dick seems to have grown a bit since the beginning of summer. And the hair was coming in quite nicely, I thought, anyway.
I walked into the big communal shower block and turned the nob on one of the shower heads. I started getting hard thinking about all the naked boys that where in here a while ago. After what happened with Jeff and Bob down by the creek, I couldn't help but think about those boys doing the same thing. And it was becoming clearer and clearer that it might not be a gay thing. It might just be about the release. After my experience with Misty it seemed it might be easier to get a teenage boy to suck your dick, then a teenage girl. Or maybe us guys are just in the same desperate boat together.
So I knew at least a few of those guys had traded blow jobs, and jerked each other off.
I soaped up my body as I thought about these things. But it was apparent my cock was in need of some attention. I soaped it up and started stroking it.
I knew it wouldn't take long, because for some reason I could jerk off in half the time in public places, it was kinda neat.
But just when I really got going and closed my eyes, I heard the Locker room door open. I opened my eyes and thought for a second that I could finish before they came into the shower. But, almost immediately in my peripheral vision I could see somebody come into the shower block. I turned my body so my hard on pointed towards the corner of the shower. I tried to act like everything was normal.
"You're done with the pool too." The voice came from behind me. I knew it was Mike Bird before I even turned my head around.
"Oh, hey Mike." I said, trying to sound nonchalant. But inside I was screaming. Pointing my hard cock towards to corner of the shower block, all I could think was, 'fucking, Mike, fucking, Bird, I didn't even see him swimming' I thought this was cruel and unusual punishment.
Mike took the shower next to mine. I tried to look like I was just having a normal shower, but I couldn't turn the front part of my body towards him, so the normal looking thing didn't work out.
'I don't care if you have a boner.' Mike said, 'you can shower like normal. Hell, you can even jerk off if you want, I've done it in front of you.' He chuckled, 'I don't care.'
I turned around slowly, exposing my four and a half inch hard cock, with a nervous smile.
Mike laughed at me. 'Don't worry about it dude.' With that Mike pulled down his swim trunks. His rather fat cock flopped out. "Juicy" was all I could think when it flopped out. It had a great looking head on it, and it seems like it's gotten a little bigger since I saw him jerking off in the locker room last year, defiantly fatter.
I had never had a fat cock in my mouth, Bobs was big but not very thick. Jeff's was a nice size but also not very thick. Standing there stairing at Mike's dick I wanted to jerk off so bad, I needed it. I guess my face showed this, because Mike looked at me stairing at his chubby dick, and then looked at my ragging hard-on bobbing around.
'Go ahead and jerk off, man. I'm going to.' Mike said as I watched his dick grow into what looked like a full six inches.
Mike looked at my cock, while he soaped up his own and started stroking it.
'I hope you don't mind.' He said. 'But I've needed this.'
'So do I', I said. Then thought fuck it. And soaped up my own cock and started stroking it again. We watched each other jerk off in the locker room until we heard the door open again.
'Goddamnit,' I said 'that's the second time that's happened in the last ten minutes.' Mike laughed. 'Let's get out of here. It's too crowded here today anyway' He said 'I know a place.'
Outside of the pool we got on our bikes. 'If we take Douglas road, you can swing by my place before you go home.' He said, 'It would be a little bit longer of a ride for you, but.'
Without hesitation, I said, 'Yeah, I can ride with you to your place.'
We took off on our bikes. Mike lived about two miles out of town. We stopped to piss once but got hard-ons by the time we zipped up.
When we were on our bikes again, Mike asked if I wanted to smoke some pot.
'You have pot?' I asked.
'Yeah, my cousin, He's gonna be a senior this year, he stayed with us a few weeks this summer. He got me high for the first time and left me some when he went back home.'
'What's it like.' I asked.
'It's cool,' Mike said, 'you feel kinda floaty, and it makes everything feel so much better.'
I said, 'cool', even thought I had no idea what he was talking about.
Mikes dogs met us at the end of the drive way to his family's ranch. Mike cut into the grass towards the barn, and I was eager to follow him. We dropped our bikes outside the barn and walked into the cool dark air.
'We just filled most of the loft with hay.' Mike said, 'but when we were putting it up I made sure there was an open corner, so I could hide and be by myself.' He climbed up the latter to the hay loft; I followed, asking, 'Will anybody come out here?'
'Not likely, this time of day.'
We had to climb over a few bales of hay to get to the corner of the loft. An old dirty window let some light through into the little corner. Hay bales blocked the rest of the barn. Mike looked at me. 'Even if somebody came in here they wouldn't be able to see us.'
'Cool' I said a little nervous, not knowing what was about to happen. But I can tell you I was hard as fuck.
'This is a cool hide out.' I said looking around. It looked like it was about ten foot by ten foot with big piles of hay covering the floor. One interesting thing was a nightstand sitting in the corner of the loft. It had some books on it a half drank bottle of KD and a glass pipe.
'Yeah, it's pretty cool.' Mike said. 'I don't know why I'm telling you this, but most of the time I just sit up here naked and smoke pot and jerk off.' He walked over to the night stand and grabbed the pipe. 'You wanna try it?'
I looked at the pipe. 'Yeah, why not'
'Cool' Mike said and took a hit off the pipe. He blew out a big cloud of smoke and started coughing. He laughed a little and handed me the pipe. 'It seems to be good stuff so we'll only need a hit or two. I'm not very experienced and this is your first time.'
'First time for what?' I said awkwardly.
Mike gave me a look, 'Smoking pot. Isn't it?'
I got a little red and lowered my head, 'Yeah, right, sorry.'
I sheepishly took the pipe and took a hit. The smoke made me cough, but it tasted really good. I laughed and turned to hand the pipe to Mike. He already had his shorts off and was taking off his shirt. I was taken aback seeing Mike standing there in his tight underwear. I handed him the pipe as he threw his shirt on the floor.
'Jerking off when you're stoned feels really great too.' Mike said, 'you should try it. After you got interrupted twice in the locker room, I bet you need a release.' I started undressing.
'Well, when your right, your right.' I said. Mike laughed as he took another hit off the pipe. We were now both in our underwear with our cocks visibly wanting to get out. I took the pipe and took another hit. Mike sat down in a pile of hay, and took a swig off the bottle of whisky. He offered the bottle, and it was gladly had.
I sat next to Mike on the pile of hay, it felt itchy but I felt the pot taking over and didn't seem to mind. I felt relaxed in a way I had never felt. I guess this showed in my appearance because Mike looked at me and laughed, I couldn't help it, I had to laugh too. Then we just sat there, waiting. I felt so horny I couldn't stand it. It got the best of me and I pulled down my underwear.
Mike looked at my cock as I pulled my underwear down. 'You got a nice looking piece.' Mike pulled his underwear off.
I looked at his thick cock laying against his stomach, 'I guess.' I said. 'But yours is a lot thicker.' Mike grabbed his dick and stoked it a few times. 'It does have a good feel to it.' He said and laughed; I laughed and started stroking my own cock. Instantly I could feel the difference. I felt like I was melting into the pile of hay as I stroked my cock.
I looked over and Mike was doing the same. His balls were so big. They hung nice and low and were flapping up and down off his taint. It had to be the heat because my sack was also hanging low; it feels so nice when its warm and it hangs in such a way. And apparently it looked hot too, because I couldn't take my eyes off Mike's balls smacking against his taint and hand. I moaned out loud.
'It feels great, doesn't it?' Mikes said.
A long low 'Yeeaahh', was all I could muster.
So that's how it went me and Mike sitting naked in the hay jerking off, and boy did I feel like I was in another world. Without asking or even thinking to ask we just stared at each others cocks as we jerked off.
Mike looked up at my face. 'Hey, Matt.'
'Yeah' I said. Feeling a nice pressure building up in my balls.
'Have you ever jerked off another guy?' That stopped me. 'No.' I said. 'But I've sucked a few cocks in my time.' I thought very loudly, but did not say out loud.
Mike started to reach his hand over towards my cock. 'Do you care if I try it?' He asked as his hand hesitated.
Trying not to sound too eager I said. 'Sure, let's try it.' With that Mike grabbed my cock and started stroking it up and down. I melted even further into the hay. It felt so great to have somebody else's hand wrapped around my cock. My head was spinning in the most wonderful way. My breathing sped up and got louder.
I looked over at Mikes cock, and took it in my hand; it was so thick and felt so hot in my hand. We jerked each other off for a while. Our breathing got heaver and our moans got louder, until we got to a point where jerking each other off wasn't going to cut it anymore.
Breathing heavily Mike asked, 'Did you ever tell anybody that you saw me jerking off in the locker room at school.'
'No, why?' I asked. Mike looked at me. 'Cause, well I guess that means I owe you a blow job.' Mike looked up at my face, 'Right?'
'Only if you want to.' I said.
'Don't worry, Nobody will find out.' Mike moved down between my legs making me spread them apart. He looked at me and said 'I haven't done this much, so..' then he moved down towards my dick. He put his left hand under my right hip and grabbed my shaft with his right hand and started stroking it.
He spit on his hand and started getting it lubed up. It felt so great, his slick hand sliding up and down my shaft. He lowered his head and started tonguing my stretched out ball sack.
This guy seemed like he knew what he was doing. I laid my head back in the hay and watched the world around me explode into flowers and joy. Or something like that. Mike ran his tongue up my shaft and put the head of my cock in his mouth. At the same time he ran his tongue around my throbbing mushroom head.
'Ohh, Mike.' I moaned, 'Fuck, I need this.' Mike took my cock into his mouth for the first time. It was the best warmth I had ever felt in my life. He moved up and down my shaft in a loud slobbery way.
I was in heaven.
After a bit of mind blowing sucking, Mike pulled his mouth off my cock. 'Do you care if I try something I saw in a porn once?'
I was in another world so I immediately submitted.
'Yes,' I moaned. Mike grabbed my legs and pulled my ass towards him, so my ass was in the air a bit. I gave him a questioning look.
'Don't worry.' He said, and then he spit on his hand and started stroking my cock. He moved his head down to my nut sack and took it in his mouth. He sucked my balls a little, then moved his tongue under my sack and started licking my bald taint. The feeling was almost unbearable.
'Oh, Oh, Oh, Fuck, Mike.' Was what I think came out. He moved his tongue all over my taint, then He moved his head up and quickly took my cock into his mouth. He took a few slurps to get it lubed up and I almost came in his mouth.
'I'm gonna cum,' I yelled. Mike took his mouth off my cock.
'Not yet.' He said. He moved his mouth back down to my taint and started licking all around it and moving lower and lower. He grabbed my ass with both hands and started massageing it. His tongue made its way to my ass and slowly circled its way around my ass hole before making its way deep inside it. I saw electric sparks.
'Oh, Mike.' I breathed. Mike got my asshole nice and wet. He moved his tongue in and out of it, then slipped it out, moving his tongue up and down my taint.
He took my cock back in his hand and started stroking it again. He moved a finger to my ass hole and rubbed it a little before slowly slipping it in. I grunted with pleasure.
His finger in my ass woke me up a little. It felt weird but it still felt good. He started rubbing his finger along my prostate and before I could get over the shock of how great it felt he put his mouth back around my cock and started a rhythm with his finger in my ass.
Time went away. I'm not sure how long this went on before I lost it, and without warning my ass clinched around his finger and I shot the biggest load of the summer in Mike's mouth. I dug my hands in his hair and pulled a little as he kept sucking my cock as I unloaded rope after rope. It was too much cum for him to take so it started dribbling out of Mike's mouth sliding down my shaft. I let go of Mike's hair and he slowly came up off my cock and slid his finger out of my ass.
I just laid there.
'I hope that was, ok,' Mike said, as he sat up. 'I got a little carried away.'
I lifted my head up and looked at him. 'Naw, it was great. I needed that. You have no idea.' Mike looked down at his hard cock. 'No I've got a pretty good Idea.' He said.
'Can I have another hit and a shot of whisky?' I asked.
I sat up and took a hit and chased it with a pull of the whisky bottle. 'Goddamn, that stuff tastes good.' I looked over at Mike and his hard cock.
'How about pay back?' I said.
'Uh, yeah,' Mike said, 'but I've never had a blow job before, so sorry if I act weird.'
'But, you said you had had one in the locker room last year?'
Mike looked down, 'Yeah, I was lying. But I've always wanted one; I've given a few but never got one. I just thought that if I gave you one, you might give one back.'
I took another pull off the bottle. 'Looks like you were right.' I flashed him a smile.
I spit on my hand and sat down next to Mike, and started stroking his cock up and down. I bent down and spit on the head of his cock to lube it up more. Mike moaned rubbing my arm and neck. He ran his fingers up my neck and through my hair. Out of pure need he pushed my head down to his cock. I ran my tongue around his big mushroom head and slowly took it in to my mouth.
'Please keep going Matt.' Mike breathed, 'Please keep doing that.' He ran his fingers through my hair and started slowly humping my face. He was so into it, his moaning was infectious, I started to moan too.
I moved my legs out behind me to get more comfortable. This put us in a kind of a 69.
Mike continued to moan and fuck my face until he realized that my hard cock was right next to his face. He let go of my head and turned onto his side. I now had access to his balls and took advantage. I licked his Smooth sack, and sucked his balls into my mouth. I felt his warm moist mouth envelop my cock and moaned with his balls in my mouth.
He sucked my cock with such hunger. It's the same way I felt when Jeff was giving me my first blow job while I was giving one to Bob. You want to try to give the same pleasure that you are getting.
I took Mikes thick cock back in my mouth. It was a little more changeling then Bobs cock because it was so damn thick. But I was still taking it all in and could tell by the way Mike was moaning and the way he was sucking my cock, he was enjoying it.
Mike started to get a little out of control, slamming his cock in my mouth, and with him slurping up and down my cock it was too much. Mike moaned loudly and pulled my cock out of his mouth. 'Matt, Matt, Matt,' was all he could say as he started Cuming down my throat. It was so hot I started jerking myself off. Cum started pouring out around my lips, Just about then Mike took my cock back in his mouth and I came within two strokes of his mouth. We both moaned with the other cock in our mouth.
We drank and smoked a little as we got dressed. It didn't seem as weird this time, I'm not sure why.
As I was leaving Mike said ' See you at school next week. We'll be fuckin' 8th graders.' He looked down at the front of his tented shorts. 'Gym class is going to be a bitch to get through now.' We both laughed.
I rode my bike home trying to remember why I was pissed at my family in the first place.

Snyder Begins New Job
Governor Rick Snyder begins his first full week on the job. Snyder became Michigan's 48th Governor on Saturday after a swearing-in ceremony in Lansing. Snyder is expected to begin signing his first executive orders to reorganize state government as soon as this week, Laura Weber reports.
Changes to Food Stamp Distribution Begin Tomorrow
Beginning tomorrow, Michigan will spread its food stamp distributions throughout the month. Currently, the state's 1.9 million food stamp recipients get their benefits in a lump sum at the beginning of the month. Most food stamp purchases are made at that time, which can lead to long lines at the checkout counter and a shortage of fresh produce at some stores, Jennifer Guerra reports. The hope is that those problems will decline with the new distribution system.
Powerful Republican Wants to Repeal Health Care Law
Republican Congressman Fred Upton, who represents Michigan's 6th District, says his fellow GOP lawmakers will go after President Obama's health care law piece by piece. Upton made the comments yesterday on "Fox News Sunday." The Associated Press reports that such a vote could come early in the new year after Republicans take control of the House. Upton will be Chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee in the new legislative session.

For years Annabel's family shirked their duties and now that Lord Ranulf is moving to town, they must pay for their crimes. Unfortunately, the responsibility falls to Annabel. She must marry the evil bailiff or become Lord Ranulf's servant. Choosing the lesser of two evils, she packs her bags and begins three years of indentured servitude.
But life with Lord Ranulf is not as horrible as she feared. Though the man has a horrible temper and is scarred and disfigured, he allows Annabel to read from the bible, something she has always dreamed of doing. But when Annabel is attacked and a man gravely injured, everything good hangs in the balance, including Annabel and Lord Ranulf's futures.

TuneStream adds Bluetooth to iPod, sorta
When Apple was set to unveil its second-generation iPod Touch back in September, stereo Bluetooth was among the features rumored to be included. Hopefully, no one was holding their breath.
Apple may have dropped the ball on including stereo Bluetooth in its latest crop of iPods, but there are a few ways you can add Bluetooth streaming with accessories. One such accessory is the TuneStream from Scosche. It's one of the smallest Bluetooth adapters we've seen for the iPod.
The tuneStream doesn't work with every iPod, however, and when it does work it throws you a few … Read more

With the possibility to change bass you can choose what really fits you and I must say, that the bass was really nice, clear and deep (I used the middle one). Only cons which I found are: hard cable - it can easily pull out the phones from your ear... size - the phones are little longer then most..." --Benik3
MEElectronics M 11+
" Introduction First, allow me to thank the great folks at MEElectronics for sending me a sample of the newly released M11P+ IEMs for review. Prior to sometime in early February, I wasn't aware that MEElectronics existed. It wasn't until I came across a review of their M9 IEMs on Head-Fi that I decided to check them out and the rest is history. MEElectronics IEMs have been some..." --TheGame21x
MEElectronics A161 In-Ear Noise-Canceling Headphones with Balanced Armature Technology
" Note: this is more of an impression-style review, since I ultimately did not keep this set. I listened to it intensively, however, and feel confident enough to put together a few thoughts. At the end I mention some things I'd like to see from MEElec's next flagship. Introduction The A161P by MEElectronics (hereafter referred to as MEElec) is the company's second single..." --Argyris
Soundsoul S-018 Acoustic Natural Ebony Wood and Metal Fusion Earphones
" I rarely write reviews but after spending so much time trying to find good in-ear headphones I think my search has finally ended. I'm very impressed with the clarity of the sound through the entire sound range. The bass is also very impressive; something about it just feels right. They also feel very comfortable as well; most in-ear buds tend to make my ear canals uncomfortable after 30..." --hahaxixi
MEElectronics M16-MT In-Ear Headphones for iPod, iPhone, MP3/CD/DVD Players (Metallic)
" i got these for Christmas 2011, they where excelent out of the box. even compared to my Senns they are amazing, they sounded incredibly detailed next to my PortaPros and even my Senns. the soundstage isn't quite as good as i would like, but this is before burn-in. i'll give an update after burn-in in a post later.

MEElectronics RX12 In-Ear Headphones - Red
" Packaging – Being one of MEElec's lower end models, it only comes with SML tips in a cheap "off the rack" plastic packaging. Build – The black and red (or blue) plus chrome will last but it definitely looks its price. The housings do not have proper strain reliefs but they aren't needed as the flat tangle and noise free cable is fantastic. Comfort – Very..." --GigaFi

We were staying at this hotel in Bombay, and Maharaji would come to see us, or we would go to this apartment building in Bombay where this devotee and his married daughter lived.
There was a big bed in the living room and Maharaji would lie down on the bed. He'd sit up, he'd lie down, he'd turn over, he'd lie this way and that; hours would go by in silence and I'd just sit there staring at him, or sit there with my eyes closed. And nothing would be talked about, we'd just hang around.
Two years before, he had disappeared and when he would disappear, the Westerners would go do other things in India until he showed up again. This time when he disappeared we went to Bodh Gaya and were doing meditation courses. What else do you do when your guru's not around? There were only two television channels at the time, so we had to do something.
While we were there, we visited this beautiful, very old lama, who was the teacher of the Dalai Lama's teachers. He was a very respected, old lama. And he was really special. We went to see him in his room. He was very sweet to us, and he tried to give us a mantra. But he had no teeth. So he'd mumblingly repeat the mantra. And then, we would repeat it back – well, we didn't know what we were repeating over and over again. It was so insane. Finally, he got somebody to write it down for us.
So, as we were leaving, he reached into his shirt and he brought out his really old leather pouch. And he opened it up, and out from the pouch he took a seed from the Bodhi Tree that he'd been carrying, a special seed from the tree in Bodh Gaya where the Buddha was enlightened. So this was a seed from that tree, and he had it in his pouch. And he takes it out, and gives one to me and one to a couple of other people there.
I went to put it away, to keep it. And he said, "No, you have to eat it." So I ate it, right there – and I forgot about it. Then I left Bodh Gaya, and then we found Maharaji. Two years go by. Now I'm in Bombay in this Parsi apartment building with Maharaji, sitting for hours and hours in silence, and all of a sudden he sits up on the bed and said, "Give me the seed the lama gave you! Give me the seed!"
"What lama? What seed? I don't know what lama!"
"Give me the seed, give me the seed!"
It seemed so important to him; I couldn't remember what lama – I had seen a hundred lamas over the years. What seed – I didn't know any seeds. Finally: Oh, that! I said, "Maharaji, he made me eat it then, at that time." He goes, "Thik hai, very good, now you'll be enlightened," and he bopped me on the head and went back to sleep.

Excerpt from Barefoot in the Heart: Remembering Neem Karoli Baba, edited by Keshav Das
- Lloyd Sevigny
Thank you Ram Dass for this wonderful story. I have read many tales from you about Neem Karoli Baba. In the record "Be Here Now" I read the story of how Maharji blew your mind when he said about your mom – "spleen, she died of spleen". It had a similar effect on me. I watched "Fierce Grace" and I am at a loss for words so I will just say to you Namaste!

Uxbridge, Ontario Home, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Usually I choose the homes for estate of the day but today's submission actually comes from the owner of the house. This home in Uxbridge, Ontario is a bit cheaper than our usual estates but it offers many wonderful features. It sits on 2.77 tranquil acres and has views of a still pond. The home, which was built in 1976 and was recently redone has a massive second-floor living room, several entertaining areas and many private patios. The design is very modern with circular windows and angular cut-outs. The four bedroom home has a gunite indoor pool with a party room above it. Updated electronics including wall-to-wall shades that give you a beautiful view at the touch of a button. It could use a spot of color but it is still a deal at $1.198 million, Canadian. After the jump, so many white walls.
