We introduce toy and anal into sex life
Sex up-grade Lorena
Our first toy
I'd been thinking about making love to my wife all day. I got off work early and stopped by the store to pick up two bottles of Merlot. I got home about 6:30 and started getting in the mood... We had sent the boys home with her mom for the weekend. I had been buying her hot bed clothes for a while but challenged her to surprise me.
I had Just took her and bought her a new Nissan deep maroon . We were in a full blown adventure mode.
I had slowly brought up the idea of watching erotic movies by taping some on my bosses satellite system while he was out of town. I had left it at home in a drawer with a note and was totally blown away to find it in a different spot with the note on the opposite side. She had spent some time getting ready without me.
We ate the pizza that had been delivered and sipped wine. I sad lets watch the movie. She normally would say gnaw that's not necessary. But she grinned and said what movie?
I said I taped one from work its in the drawer in the bedroom.
Ok, she went to get it never asking which drawer. While she was gone I cleared the table and poured more wine. She seemed to be gone a long time and when she returned I was very pleased.
Surprise me she had ! A deep forest green teddy with all the lace in the right places, a perfect match for her summer tanned/freckled figure beautiful red hair and gleaming green eyes. She was Hot!
WE had a inflatable mattress in the floor in front of the video monitor and she crawled over to the VCR and inserted the tape. I was just standing there with my tongue hanging out.
She laughed and said I thought you might enjoy my show. At this point in our busy lives we had both put on some pounds. Me from stress and her two kids. But she was now more beautiful than ever to me. Her ample butt and now full grown 36D breasts are really beautiful. I handed her the wine and set behind her and began rubbing her neck and shoulders. The movie was a old vintage sex scene and started with a threesome. I watched as she watched and I was hard In minutes. But I was determined to let it progress slowly and see what she had watched earlier.
We chatted about what they were doing and had all the what if conversations. I asked who she thought she would most like to try it with and after the wine was gone went to get more. I left her thinking about it letting the wine and movie spur her fantasy to heightened arousal. I handed her the third glass of wine and she took It and said "Hey mister are trying get me drunk so you can have your way with me?" I laughed and said, Absolutely. We giggled and enjoyed a passionate kiss.
The scene changed and a tall handsome man with grey hair and a blue eyes came on to a young nurse in the doctors office. She said I like this, I said the wine? She said no this scene………. I knew she always wanted to be a nurse and loved to laugh about playing doctor. But was surprised when she said I always wondered what it would be like to have sex with an older man.
Well I was having a really eye opening night and she was way loose with the wine and so I decided that I could push it a little. I said who do you think is interesting of all the older men we know?
She said I am not telling you that you won't never let me live it down. I laughed and said aw come on who? Well they were two men we knew and were close to one of them and I really wasn't surprised by her choices. One was tall and well built the other a silver fox!
By now we are out of wine and I said I want some more so left her watching and went out to get some. I actually had it in the truck but let her believe I was leaving I just wanted to watch her for a while.
I had gone earlier in the day and bought a really nice sex toy, it was 9 inches long smooth about 51/2 in diameter and used C cell batteries 3 of them. It sounded loud in the truck but I knew the movie would help drown it out so tonight was the perfect chance to reveal my deviance.
When I snuck in the door I was shocked the mattress was empty and I was afraid she had gone to bed, then I heard a sound from the recliner. Her back was to me and I slipped in behind the chair and looked over she was definitely ready she had her hand working her swollen clit and she was just starting to orgasm. I waited and then as she finished I said would you like some company. She was not startled so I know she was aware of my presence I said I see you started without me and she said you left me watching this stuff pointing at the screen where the tall older doctor was just finishing off the hot red headed nurse!
I led her to the mattress and kissed her hard and deep, I said I have a big surprise for you. She looked up as I pulled the toy out of the black sack. Her eyes were wide she said that thing is huge there is no way! I said well we can try and see with that I turned it on and used it on her shoulders. She took it and took control while I got undressed.
I immediately freed her swollen breast from the now rumpled teddy.
After gently sucking her nipples; first one, and then the other, I slid my hands down her back and gently hooked her teddy with my thumbs and slid them over her nicely rounded ass and down her legs. I could smell her lovely bouquet as my face passed her nicely trimmed pussy....
I was starting to get pretty worked up, but I wanted to put my cock-ring on before I got too big to fit into it; so I opened the box and gave it to J, my wife. Her nimble little fingers fastened one of the loops around the base of my balls, and the other loop around the base of my cock. Wow! I got hard in a minute and my cock stood up proud and engorged, making it very sensitive and ready for action....
Slowly, J lowered herself to her knees and took the head of my penis in her mouth...swirling her tongue around and around the tip. It felt yummy! Then, J began to give me a BJ in earnest. Sucking down my swollen cock deep into her mouth, and then into her throat. So HOT!
I lifted her off her knees and gently laid her down on the bed, spreading her legs so that I could see the glistening wetness between the puffy folds of her beautiful little pussy. It was so perfect, that I knew that it needed to be filled, right then; but I wanted J to continue with the wonderful blow job that she had started while on her knees in front of me.
So, I reached for the toy, it is flesh-colored and made of soft, pliable material covering a hard, stiff central shaft, which makes it feel a lot like the cock of a extremely well hung man, ready to make my wife's night! J was laying on the bed with her eyes shut. As she waited for me to return my attention to her lovely tits, she gently rubbed her hands over them, pinching her nipples, just a little...as I eased my eager cock closer and closer to her lips, I started to rub the head of "my helper" against the inside of her left thigh, up high. I heard her intake of breath as she felt the massive size of the head of the dong. She spread her legs a bit as if to welcome it in.
She opened her eyes and saw my swollen, hard cock pointing right at her mouth, and smiled...she looked up at me, right in my eyes and said "baby, I need to suck that beautiful, dick; give it to me, now!" I gave it to her; both ends! As I slid my cock into her mouth, I also slid that massive cock into her tight, little pussy! The effect on her was stunning! Her eyes flew open even wider and she moaned...it was awesome! She arched her back and with her left hand helped me shove that huge cock as far up into her as we could make it go. She was hot and her pussy was wet; it slid all the way in. She gulped at my cock and with my free hand I held the back of her head and started to slowly fuck her cute, precious face.
She moaned again and again as I eased the dong in and out of her eager pussy, her hand on top of mine! My heart was pumping wild and hard. My dick felt so hard as it rubbed back and forth against the roof of J's mouth. I could feel her soft lips caressing the entire length of my cock as her tongue worked me over as well.
That massive dong was getting a workout! J was really taking it like a champ...her hips started to buck and I knew that she was on the edge... so I pushed her off the edge by burying my cock all the way to the balls into her willing throat. She clamped down on my cock and the dong that was buried all the way to it's balls, too! J's back arched again and her leg started to shake; a sure sign that she was Cumming.
What a start to the evening; we hadn't even finished the second bottle of wine! J always says that I "get lucky" when the second bottle is finished. J's left leg started to shake and she moaned low in her throat...I could feel her hand clench on mine which was holding the massive cock that I was easing in and out of her tight pussy.
She pushed on my hand, helping me shove the dildo deep into her dripping, juicy, slit; her back arched and she grabbed my balls with her free hand. I nearly exploded right into the back of her mouth! Instead, I pushed her damp hair away from her beautiful face while admiring her body buck and bob on the dildo in exquisite abandon. A warm wash of pink blush rose on J's cheeks and her tits and she let out a muffled scream as she came hard. I could see the lips of her pussy contracting on my "helper." I slowly withdrew it from her sweet vagina, and watched as a trickle of her lovely juice escaped past her heart-shaped labia.
Her womanly aroma wafted up to me as I continued to slowly feed her warm, willing mouth. I raised the dildo, wet with J's juices to my lips. I could smell J on it! J opened her eyes and saw me holding the tip of the head of the rubber cock to my lips; she smiled with her eyes and began to stroke my cock with her fingers grasped tight around the shaft and her lips making a perfect "O" around the head of my cock!
She nodded her head and I knew she wanted to see me suck the head of the cock that had just been in her pussy...so, slowly, slowly I opened my mouth and licked the cock. Yum! It tasted just like J! I started to suck on it; it filled my mouth; what an interesting feeling.
I opened my mouth and eased that rubber cock back to the back of my mouth, sucking J's juices from it. It was quite a feeling; overpowering, sensual and just plain fun!... J grabbed my hand and pulled my helper cock from my mouth and pulled my cock out of her mouth. It was really swollen and jerked up and down in pre-cum contractions....
J pulled me down to the bed and kissed me on the lips. "It was really hot seeing you do that," J said with a smile. ""But I think that I need to teach you the finer points of how to suck a cock!" She laughed and threw her leg over my hips, grabbed my cock by its base and gently guided my throbbing dick mercifully into her warm, wet pussy....
Her hips began to buck on my cock and my mind filled with the thought of an older man slipping up behind her and slipping what was sure to be a big, massive cock into her ass! My heart was pumping as hard as her hips! Then, as she rode me even harder, she said; give me the vibratory.
She put it between us and held the tip to her clit while began to pump upwards against it as I filled with my first hot orgasm.
We laid down and watched the video some more and talked about the positions and possibilities. As the wine disappeared so did all inhibitions. We continued to fondle and caress and play for what seemed like hours. She lay face down and I began our favorite ritual massage. I really enjoy rubbing every inch of her soft body.
The feet and toes, lead to calves backs of knees to thighs and thighs to her awesome butt. She loves the massage to go into deep tissue with my thumbs finding all the hot spots. I spill a little oil in to the crack of he hinny and watch it run down her labia. I rub slowly working to the center of her hot zone and use my fingers to find the nerve center and press then release alternating sides till she starts to squirm. By now she is relaxed and if not sleeping acting like it.
We had tried anal sex once before but she could not tolerate it. So I had begun to use my finger and thumb for digital penetration on occasion just for her enjoyment. Especially during oral sex.
Tonight I was going for broke so I started with one finger and worked up to all three applying a special anal lube I had purchased with the toy. After several minutes of this she still had not complained so I continued with both hands one for her hot swollen wet love tunnel and one for her virgin ass.
I was getting really hard and hyped up from the adrenaline rush of having taken us to the new level of unbridled passion. So I positioned her for doggy style sex and entered her as always and began to pump her hard as she liked it. When there was still no response I decided it was now or never. I put more lube on me and pushed hard to enter her anally it was very tight and very hot. I went slow waiting for the rebuke but none came.
I continued for a while and decided It was not that big a deal and went back to what we both love. I turned her over and put both legs over my shoulders and gave her the pounding of a lifetime we must have fucked for an hour as the credits rolled on the film I came deep into her wetness and lay down beside her and fell asleep. I never have asked nor told till now about my one time of total anal entry! Preston

Well considering the hardware is completed, the only thing slowing Sony down would be the standard logistics.
Making machines this far from launch is good for both ironing out potential kinks in production and is great news in terms of building up supplies.

I wonder if mine is actually on the line right now with the case being put on? It would be sweet if we could have them custom engraved like when you order certain apple products online.

It would be interesting to see a video of the production process, though I doubt that would ever happen.

PS4 has been manufactured since last December (at least the controllers have been) and the end of the February event (design was finalized for the box and full production of system in its complete stage would have started late April/early may by logic.
Initial production probably would have started in Japan for the initial test runs to make sure all component assembly works together seamlessly with computer and physical end of line check systems. (Basically in house)
Plastic moulding for the system would have likely begun as early as January, main components would have more than likely been produced as early as last June/July for CPU/GPU assembly as a rough guess.
These things take an awfully long time to put together... PS4 would not have started production last month if that's what people think they would be called crazy.
Things can be manufacured pretty quickly these days but 1.5 million PS4s manufacured in 3 months no, 8-9 months its realistically possible but even then a real stretch." A Toll's a toll and a roll's a roll. If we don't get no toll's, then we don't eat no roll's"
TAZ427 is confounded by the utter nonsense of this most disagreeable post
08-30-2013 #20
Call me crazy then. There is NO WAY they started full production before the units passed the fcc. Imagine churning out 1-2 million units only to be forced ti destroy them because they dont meet the regulations... Calk me crazy, i'll call you delusional!
You also believe CPU/GPU were final last summer? As in 2012? Right.. Loll and if you mean 2013 then you are contradicting yourself. You say full production started as early as April/May, now explain to me how they enter full production without one of the, if not THE MAIN component, the APU?
SONY SUBMITTED a retail unit to the FCC in JUNE this year so there is no way they started mass production BEFORE that.
It takes 8-9 months to manufacture 1.5 million units? How did they ever manage to ship 10 million PS3 in one fiscal year?!??
SONY and its manufacturing partners can/could produce up to 1 million units a month, if not more (once everything is ironed out, yield issues, assembly line problems etc..)
Again, no mass production until all federal regulations in concerned countries have been met and APPROVED. What you are refering to ahead of fcc approval are TEST UNITS and those change constantly until final design is set (the one submitted to the fcc)

Where have you been? PS4 components have been shipping since June:
PS4 components reportedly start shipping in June
The PS4 passed FCC testing in late July. That is the GO signal for production. It takes awhile to get production lines going full speed but all indications are Sony started in early August and this latest news indicates they are approaching full production volume. This is probably 1 million per month, so if you look at full production over September, October, November, then there is probably about 3 to 4 million for launch, and those numbers would fit with general estimates of 2 million for North America and 2 million for Europe, with some smaller numbers for South America, the Pacific and Eastern Europe including Russia.
Then, as the launch window proceeds, there should be about another 2 million for the Japan launch which looks like it has been moved up from a late 1st quarter 2014 to possibly January, a big holiday month for Japan. It also appears that China may be opening their market not long after. By then, Sony production lines should be capable of 2 million per month, if the demand is there. All indications point to the PS4 launch being the biggest ever for a videogame console.

I'll call you crazy, but you're also right. There's no way they would have started production units before submitting to FCC. They would have done Beta run and w/ the design, and the intent of these units probably going to store displays, and they would have been ready to start production ramp but would only do the ramp AFTER FCC approval.
You don't want to have to fix a large quantity of production units because FCC says that this or that needs to be changed.
I would say that part of the beta builds would be ironing out the larger manufacturing issues that arise. I'd guesstimate that they don't have the production capacity built in right now as they had for PS3's year 2-7 as the first year is traditionally lighter in terms of overall sales. I'd guess between 0.5 and 0.75M units / mo right now, but 3 months gives between 1.5 and 2.25M units on hand for launch and another 0.75 to 1.5M before end of year. To be honest I'd think they started with an initial plan at 0.5M/mo and ramped up to 0.75M/mo based on demand. That said, by this time next year, they may be up to 1M/mo production rate depending on demand.
Note this are just my educated guesses based on traditional holiday launch window sales of consoles. My logic is pretty rudimentary here, and I'm sure Sony and MS have both looked at these numbers along with pre-order numbers to adjust production numbers. You don't want to have inventory sitting in stock and you also want to meet demand, production rates don't instantaneously shift so planning needs to be done several months out to keep this adjusted optimally.
08-30-2013 #24
Realize and remember this about Sony.
The PS3 is selling about 15 million per year now. This means manufacturing and shipping 1.25 million PS3 per month. There is no question about Sony production lines (and most of these are outsourced from the streamlining 3 years ago) being able to switch over to PS4 production lines. While there is a lot of retooling, it is still stamping out plastic cases, punching out frames, processing motherboards, and assembling power supply modules. Or Sony could have just added and started additional PS4 production lines.
The only problem here is for the production director to decide to keep PS3 production lines going at a 15 million per year rate and just add PS4 production lines or try to predict the market swing and taper off on the PS3 production lines.

While I doubt they started building PS4's before the FCC approval, they more than likely had all the components being stocked up (RAM chips, blu-ray components, etc.) so there won't be a shortage like they had at the PS3 at launch, so once they got the green light from the FCC it can be full speed ahead!

KELVIN© Maglev Track with See-Through Side Rails, 4 ft. L
Watch This Product In Action!
KELVIN©'s Maglev Track with see-through side rails allows students to see the levitation of the vehicle while it is on the track and to run vehicles with electric motors. Although it is made of plastic, this track can be electrified with KELVIN©'s power supply (#841051). It also offers them the ability to measure the height of the vehicle, above the track, as cargo is added.
Students will plan, build, test and modify a maglev vehicle with an electric motor. One challenge is to design a vehicle that will go the fastest when propelled by an electric-powered propeller while using different brush configurations: 2 or 4, side or upper. Another challenge for students is how to supply the needed electric power to the vehicles during the run on the road without batteries?
4 feet long. $20 Oversized Shiping Charges Apply.

University of California Retirement System (UCRS)
The Core System serves as the standard recordkeeping system for the UCRP, the Defined Contribution Plan, and the 403(b) Plan. It thus records member contributions; posts interest or gain/loss; processes systematic (regular) and nonperiodic withdrawals (including tax reporting); and handles transfers between six internally managed funds. These funds are the Savings Fund, the ICC Fund, the Money Market Fund, the Equity Fund, the Bond Fund, and the Multi-Asset Fund. The Core System also translates time worked and salary components into service credit and covered compensation data for UCRP and produces data used for semi-annual statements for UCRP members and all Defined Contribution Plan and 403(b) Plan participants.The DEPcare System handles claims processing for individuals with DEPcare accounts and produces year-end letters indicating the amount that remains to be used or defaulted in each account.
The Loan System handles loans made to active UCRP members with 403(b) balances. This includes an interactive voice response (IVR) based application process; initial loan funding; posting the interest, principal, administrative fees, and repayment portions; and dealing with other aspects of loan administration such as prepayments, delinquent payments, curtailments, and adjustments.
The University of California Retirement System (UCRS) contains master demographic data for all individuals associated with the retirement system. Depending on an individual's status, i.e., whether he/she is an active UCRS member, a dependent, an annuitant, etc., additional information about the individual is maintained. A staff of about twelve programmers maintains UCRS, making constant changes and upgrades to the system.UCRS is composed of three main subsystems:
Annuitant System. The Annuitant System handles payments to University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP) retirees, disabled members, survivors, and beneficiaries. This includes producing monthly checks and transmitting electronic payments to banks for posting to individual accounts. As part of this service, the Annuitant System handles the annual Cost of Living (COLA) adjustment processing, COLA guarantees for Social Security and UCRS payments, and tax reporting.
Insurance System. The Insurance System maintains records of enrollment in medical, dental, and legal insurance for eligible retired or disabled members (including UCRP members, PERS members, and the small number of members in other retirement systems) and survivors; it calculates retirees' deductions from annuity payments; and it transmits eligibility information to the insurance carriers.
Membership System. The Membership System has three subsystems, which are described below: the Core System, the DEPcare System and the Loan System.
UCRS data is processed primarily by CICS and batch processes. Posting of contribution and service data is performed monthly by way of an interface file that is received from each campus payroll location. In addition to CICS, data is entered by way of IVR, Web, and client-server systems. The Membership System produces distribution and loan checks twice monthly and the Annuitant System produces retirement checks monthly.
Hundreds of reports are produced on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. IR&C provides these reports online for user's viewing by way of an electronic report distribution product called View Direct.
CICS - Used by the UCOP Benefits Office and campus benefit representatives to inquire and (depending on level of access) update the system data Batch Processes - Used to process campus payroll input data, produce checks and reports IVR - The interactive voice response system is used by employees, annuitants, etc., to access, and in some instances, request changes to their personal data Web - Similar to the IVR, Web applications enable employees, annuitants, etc., to access and request changes. Web applications also exist for internal (i.e., the UCOP Benefits office) and campus use Client-Server - Desktop applications used by the Benefits office There are several modes of system access:Technical Information
The UCRS system, taken as a whole, utilizes a variety of technologies. The mainframe processes, i.e., the CICS and batch, run on OS/390 and are coded in COBOL/DB2. The Web and IVR portions run on an NT platform using Edify software and use both DB2 and Sybase data. Client-server applications run on Windows desktops, accessing data on DB2 and Sybase.

Shwayze's Buzzin
Finally! An artist has his own show on MTV and he doesn't suck! If you guys didn't catch the series premiere for "Buzzin" the other day on MTV, you just might be missing out on an actually good show on the Music Television Network. If you're unfamiliar with Shwayze, he was bred in the mean streets of Malibu and is currently signed to Suretone Records/Geffen Records. Shwayze is the epitome of laid-back rap and is very visibly a product of his environment. His songs are slow, catchy, and very bouncy; much like the beautiful beaches of Cali. Shwayze's group consists of Cisco Adler on guitar/vocals, who's the former frontman of WhiteStarr and son of famed producer Lou Adler; DJ Skeet Skeet on the 1′s and 2′s; and Shwayze. With singles "Buzzin" and "Corona and Lime" getting heavy rotation on MTV and on several radio stations, Shwayze and his cohorts are definitely making some feel-good summer music for the boys and girls. Check out his debut, due to be released August 19th. For now, download "Buzzin" below… "Buzzin" by Shwayze

CSO Compass Award: Bruce Schneier
Chief Security Technology Officer, BT
By Bill Brandel
May 11, 2010 — CSO — As an author of books on security, the influential Crypto-Gram newsletter and the blog Schneier on Security (www.schneier.com), as well as a frequent guest on TV and radio, Bruce Schneier has become something of a celebrity in the world of security: He may be the only CSO whose likeness is used to sell T-shirts. Still, the most rewarding aspect of his career, as he conveyed in this interview conducted by e-mail, is that he believes he is having an impact on people's thinking about security.
See the full list of this year's Compass Award winners
CSO: What are three fail-proof principles of security leadership?
Bruce Schneier:One, tell the truth as you see it. Two, don't be afraid to change your mind. Three, be public when you've made a mistake or changed your mind. Note: These principles might not work in a traditional corporate setting.
What are two things about security leadership you wish you'd known 10 years ago?
One, economics matters a lot. Two, psychology matters even more.
What does psychology have to do with security?
Security is fundamentally about people—people as attackers as well as defenders—and if you don't understand the people you'll never understand security. It affects everything. Take an obvious example: terrorism. Terrorism kills approximately no one in the United States every year, and automobiles kill 40,000 Americans every year. That's more than a 9/11's worth of deaths each and every month. Yet where do we spend our money? It's the same everywhere: trying to enhance our feeling of security, sometimes by enhancing the reality of security and sometimes by implementing security theater.
Editor's note: read more of Schneier's thoughts about psychology in The endless broadening of security.
What this means is, when you think about a security system—as a developer, as a buyer, as an implementer or as an attacker—you need to understand the psychological motivations of those involved with the system. If you don't, you're going to get it wrong.
What will be the next big topic in the security field?
Transparency. Transparency of everything, because that's how you know what's actually going on. So much of security is sold and implemented on the "trust me" paradigm. Unfortunately, that results in a whole lot of bad security. So it will be transparency about threats, about attacks, about losses, about product capabilities.
What is the most over-hyped topic in the security field?
It's a serious problem with our industry. Companies emerge selling one thing: firewalls, public key infrastructure, biometric login, or whatever. In order for them to convince customers, as many as possible, to buy their stuff, they have to over-hype it. They have to claim that their solution is the one solution everyone needs.

Re: NEWBIE!! to android =]
Welcome to AC! Enjoy the forums. The best advice I can give you right now is just to explore Android. Install apps, try different settings, and see what happens when you do things -- just because you can. It's the fastest and most entertaining way to get used to how Android's navigation, multi-tasking, and settings work.

My Horse's Favorite Treat: apples, carrots, oats, and any kind of food
My Horse's Favorite Things To Do: When we are doing liberty stuff she loves when I call her to me so then I can pet her and she can just stand there. When I brush her.

My Horse's motto:
See all awards »
My family and I have always wanted a mini and one day we were on Craigslist and somebody was trading a mini horse for two dairy goats and it just so happened we were trying to sell two of our dairy goats. So we went 2 or 3 hours to get her and when my sister went in there to try and catch her she would come really close and then all of a sudden she would run off and she didn't have a halter on so is took a while. But we finally got her and she loaded up into the trailer right away. She was first just my families horse but I was the only person that did anything with her and I taught her to be lunged, to jump, to do basic liberty and to ground drive and hopefully soon I was train her to pull a cart..

Michigan's Right-to-Work Laws and the American Middle Class
Produced by:
Right to work advocates made big gains this week in Michigan with the passage of bills that affect both public and private sector employees. On this rebroadcast of today's To the Point, guest host Sara Terry explores why the right to work movement is growing. Who benefits from these laws, and what role does politics play in determining who's covered and who's exempt? Also, is the Syrian government losing its last allies? On Reporter's Notebook, it's Golden Globes time. How much do their nominations matter during Hollywood's awards season?

Making News
Is the Syrian Government Losing Its Last Allies? ()
Russia's top Middle East diplomat said today that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is losing control of the country after nearly two years of conflict there. The comments from Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov bring new pressure to bear on Assad since Russia has been a staunch strategic ally throughout the conflict. Ellen Barry is Moscow Bureau Chief for the New York Times.

Main Topic
Michigan's Right-to-Work Laws and the American Middle Class ()
On Tuesday, Michigan became the 24th state to pass right-to-work laws, which prevent unions from compelling workers to pay union dues. It's a big hit to organized labor, which has historically had a strong hold in Michigan, the birthplace of the United Auto Workers Union. Advocates say that right-to-work laws stimulate economic growth, but opponents argue that they undercut pay for middle class workers. Only 12 percent of American workers belong to a union. What's behind the dramatic changes in labor union power? Who benefits from right to work laws? What role did politics play in Michigan?

The South by Southwest festival means more musicians of all kinds in Austin, including a yearly influx of street musicians— like the young woman playing a violin on South Congress a few doors down from two high school boys banging on a drum and guitar and taking donations in a Pringles canister.
They may not get booked to Stubbs or Buffalo Billiards or any other venue, but they still want to be heard, and donations are encouraged.

An epic ride across 'the forbidden land', taking in Kathmandu and Lhasa, the north face of Everest, 5000m+ passes, and an unrivalled 4000m descent into Nepal!
Tibet, protected by the great Himalayan chain to the south and west, and by the even more inhospitable mountains to the north and east, has haunted the ambition of explorers for centuries.
The allure is as high as the altitude, and for the adventurous cyclist this land of rugged beauty, vast landscapes, brilliant skies and glittering peaks offers one of the ultimate biking challenges.
After some essential time acclimatising around Kathmandu and Lhasa, our route takes us across high altitude desert, over awesome mountain passes, stopping off at Rongbuk Monastery and Base Camp for views of the north face of Everest, before making the 160km, 4600m descent into Nepal and the lush Kathmandu Valley.
In recent years much of the route has been surfaced making it perfect for cycling. A tough trip, but for those who venture to the spectacular beauty of Tibet, the sense of achievement is guaranteed.
Articles in the Press about Cycling Lhasa to Kathmandu...
Richard Caseby of The Sunday Times writes: Conquer the Himalayas in the saddle (March 2014).
What makes this trip responsible?
We have had an excellent long-term relationship with the operator, which helps to stabilise their income generation and to create a more sustainable future. Our local leaders are committed to responsible tourism and helping to preserve the way of life in their area so they and our local operator actively encourages all suppliers to use locally sourced produce and to dispose of waste appropriately to minimise the impact on the local environment.
Bonfires are discouraged and gas stoves are used instead (where possible). Most importantly a greater interaction with the small communities we visit is encouraged so you can learn about the local culture and the local communities can feel the benefit of your visit. Cycling as a means of travel has a minimal environmental impact, particularly as you will be providing much of the power yourself! Many trips venture into remote locations rarely visited by tourists, helping to support and develop traditional communities.

Dear President Obama: Get ACTA out in the open
President Obama broke the Internet's collective heart last week, cheering on strict intellectual-property laws, dampening our hopes for meaningful copyright reforms and, worse, announcing that "we must" move forward on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
Now, ACTA covers a lot of ground that the president is concerned about, such as physical copying of goods--the actual counterfeiting in the Counterfeiting name. But as you may know by now, it also contains some seriously disturbing, broad-stroke IP law that could have a devastating effect on the way the Internet works--on research, content creation and innovation, search and seizure, and much … Read more

Electronics Failure Analysis for Pb- and Pb-Free Solder Joints |
The Weibull distribution is arguably the most important distribution in failure analysis of leaded and lead-free solder joints. It is the first thought of someone trying to model thermal cycle, drop shock, or other failure modes associated with through-hole and SMT assembly. Figure 1. The likelihood of getting heads in 60 coin tosses is described by binomial distribution. The Weibull distribution was invented by Waloddi Weibull in 1931. This invention fact was recounted by Dr. Robert Abernethy in his famous textbook on Weibull analysis, The New Weibull Handbook. This statement may not seem unusual, until we ponder that all common distributions in statistics were discovered, not invented. The three most common statistical distributions are the Normal, Poisson and Binomial distributions. As an example of a discovered statistical distribution, let's consider the Binomial distribution. This distribution describes, among other things, the odds in flipping a coin. If you flip a fair coin 60 times, you are most likely to obtain 30 heads (H) and 30 tails (T), but getting 29 H and 31 T or 32 H and 28 T would not be all that uncommon. Mathematical analysis shows that the curve below results. If a coin flipping experiment is performed many times, this curve will faithfully predict the results. The curve is not invented it is discovered from the deep theoretical underpinnings of the Binomial Distribution. The fact that the Weibull distribution was invented suggests that Weibull selected it because it fit many types of failure data. He defined cumulative Weibull distribution is defined as: where eta is the characteristic life or the scale function and beta is the slope, were as F(t) is the cumulative fraction of failures. Weibull proposed this function because for beta less than 1, F(t) describes "infant" mortality fails. In this situation the failure rate is decreasing with time. For beta greater than 1, it describes "wear out" failures, where the failure rate is increasing with time. In electronics, we typically try to weed out infant mortality by using "burn in." For beta equal to 1, the failure rate is constant. These three scenarios are shown in the figure below. So typically, in electronics failure analysis, we are plotting failure data versus time to determine beta and eta, typically with software like Minitab. In the next posting we will analyze some failure data to determine eta and beta and discuss their significance. Weibull himself was a curious character and much of the available information on him is chronicled by Abernethy. For sure Weibull was a vigorous man. His second wife was almost 50 years his junior and he fathered a daughter at about 80 years of age!

Caliphate conference coming to Chicago area
Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international Islamic organization that openly calls for restoration of the caliphate — that is, the political union of Muslims worldwide in a single Sharia state ruled by the caliph. This means that the group is dedicated to subverting and destroying all governments not ruled by Islamic law, and as such it is banned in many countries. But not in the U.S., which has never shown any awareness on an official level of non-violent efforts to impose Sharia. They're once again coming to the Chicago area to hold their Caliphate Conference: it will be held on June 17 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.
What is especially noteworthy about this is that absolutely none of the self-professed "moderate" Muslim leaders in the U.S. will disavow Hizb ut-Tahrir or its goals.
And note also that these people have no problem getting space in a hotel for their conference advocating a political system that will destroy freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and equality of rights of all people before the law, but freedom fighters trying to resist Sharia and Islamization are hounded out of public spaces with increasing frequency.
