If only I could travel back in time
How many of us have often thought woulda, coulda, shoulda, and dreamt of being able to turn back the clock to do it all over again, but differently? The last twenty seven years of my life have involved that kind of thing, but since I can't time travel, I am stuck with nothing but regrets. My name is Tim and I just turned forty, and I suppose that it is fairly common when a person hits that age milestone, they look back on the years that got away from them, and only remember the regrets.
My big regret involved my sister Sarah, who is a year older than me, and dates back to when I was 13 years old. I was mentally immature for my age back then, but my body physically had matured so well, that I became addicted to sex. Well, maybe that might be an exaggeration, but I was hornier than anyone I knew, and my pecker, as well as any pussy I could visualize, were constantly on my mind. I'm sure that I jerked off more than most kids, and figured out just about every imaginable way to pleasure my pecker. I had been caught jerking off by my mother, two of my aunts and almost by Sarah, my 14 year old sister. When Sarah and I were younger, we played games that inevitably led to showing our privates, touching, etc., but nothing hot and heavy. Even at age 14, she sometimes joked with me about some of the stuff we used to do, and I would usually jerk off after she talked about it. I never felt that she brought it up to initiate anything, and I'm not even sure she knew it got me worked up. When she talked about it, I would cover my erection, so she wouldn't see it.
One of the times that Sarah joked about us exposing ourselves when we were younger, I said to her "Sarah, it's too bad we can't still do those things, because I would love to see you naked now that you have developed into a sexy young hottie". She laughed and said "Tim, we are not ten years old anymore, and besides where would be able to do those things, without being discovered by somebody"? We were in the family room in the basement, and my parents were one floor up in the living room, so I would have done it right there, but I knew Sarah would be too afraid of getting caught. My erection was telling me to keep this conversation going, so I got really brave and said "Look what has happened to me just talking about what we used to do", as I pointed to my bulging shorts. Sarah glanced down at the tent in my shorts, and said "Holy shit Tim; it sure seems a lot bigger than what I remember". Being immature, I said "look closer and you can see how big it has got", as I pulled the waistband of my shorts down enough for my pecker to pop out. It was only six inches long, but back then, most kids figured they had the biggest in town, and I was no different.
Sarah was caught off guard at my boldness, and although she stared at my pecker for a few seconds, she then said "oh my god Tim, what the hell are you doing"? She bolted up the stairs, and there I sat with my pecker sticking out, and no way to do anything with it. I put it away and waited until it deflated, then I went up to my room on the top level, to get ready to masturbate. I dropped my shorts and briefs and sat on the edge of my bed, stroking my pecker, as I thought back to Sarah's reaction. I guess you could only classify it as outright rejection, so it wasn't easy lathering up a load of sperm. I heard a knock at my door, so I pulled my shorts up in a hurry, and then said "come in". It was Sarah and when she asked me what I was doing, I said "I was thinking of you and had to masturbate, so here I am". Sarah said "I didn't even show you anything so why would you be doing this"? Before I could answer her, she went on to say "so did you already masturbate or were you just about to start when I knocked"?
I told her that I had just started, but had to stop when she knocked. Sarah said "okay, mom and dad just went grocery shopping and will be gone for an hour or two, so I guess I owe you a look. I will show you my body and watch you masturbate, but nothing else". We left my bedroom door open, so we could hear if mom and dad came back, so I dropped my shorts and Sarah lifted up her tank top, and dropped her shorts and panties. Because of the conversation, I was rock hard, so when my shorts were pulled down over my pecker, it bounced a couple of times, and Sarah found this funny. There was nothing funny about the beautiful tits and pussy in front of me, and I wondered if I would be able to keep from shooting my load right then. I said to Sarah "I can't believe how beautiful you are, and I am so thankful that you decided to show me your body".
Sarah said that I should get started since we really didn't know how much time we had, so I started stroking my pecker. I asked her if she could sit on my bed with me so I had a better view and she reluctantly sat down. She watched intently as I stroked, and then she said "what is the wet stuff on the end of your thingy"? I said "it's called pre-cum, and it's for lubrication to help with masturbation and sex". Sarah was sitting on my left, and I was trying to edge closer to her, hoping to get a quick touch of her tit, and as my left arm grazed her nipple, she jumped up, got dressed and left my room. I finished jerking off and shot a huge load all over the floor, and then went for paper towels to clean up. I was surprised when she came back in to my room, and said "I guess you are finished already. That's too bad, but I warned you that there would be nothing else going on and you didn't listen". I said "Sarah, I'm sorry that I upset you, but the sight of your body got me so worked up, I had a hard time controlling myself. Do you have any idea how hot you are "?
Sarah smiled and said that she was flattered, but asked me to stop exaggerating. She said that she had probably overreacted earlier, so if I wanted to masturbate again, she would strip and sit with me. It didn't take long for my shorts to hit the floor, and I was already stroking by the time she sat down. What was interesting was the fact that Sarah sat even closer to me this time, and her tit made contact with my arm right off the bat. Our thighs were also touching, so I was getting worked up into a frenzy. My right hand pumped furiously on my pecker, and I said "watch Sarah, it's going to shoot". Sarah bent over slightly to watch me shoot, so the first stream just missed her face, but the second and third landed on her thighs. I thought that I would get in trouble, but she touched it with her fingers, and said "This stuff is pretty slimy". Her tit was still touching my arm, and my cock didn't deflate like it usually would, so I continued stroking. Sarah said "I thought you were finished". I said "your tit was touching my arm, and our bare thighs were touching so my cock wants to continue". She laughed and said "I can't imagine what your cock would do if I actually let you touch me".
I wanted to say "let's find out", but I figured that I better not push my luck. Sarah must have been feeling a little aroused because her attitude seemed to change. She said to me 'I'll tell you what. You let me stroke your cock this time, and I will let you touch me". I was getting to the point of no return, and began to think that maybe we should call it a day before I ended up raping her or something.
Before I had a chance to consider anything, Sarah reached over and took hold of my cock, and she placed my hand on her tit. She squirmed when I played with her nipple, and she began stroking my cock. I found our positions to be a little awkward, so I suggested that we take off our clothes completely, and lie down. I said "don't worry; I'm not going to do anything stupid. I just figured if we were going to do this, why shouldn't we be comfortable.
I was very surprised that Sarah agreed to it, but she removed everything and lay back on my bed. I moved beside her on my side, so that I had my right hand free to feel her body. I took her right hand and placed it on my cock, and then I began exploring her beautiful body. Thinking back, I wish I had known more about the female body, and I might have had more success with Sarah. I had a great time with both of her tits, but I wanted more. I wasn't sure if Sarah had counted on me touching her pussy, but I wasn't going to miss this opportunity, so began moving my hand lower.
My hand reached her pubic hair, and when she didn't resist, I continued downwards and put my hand on her pussy. I rubbed it awkwardly, and tried to get my fingers inside, and just when she started parting her legs, seemingly to give me access, my cock started shooting cum. Sarah sat up a bit, and said "that little feel of my pussy sure got your cock shooting in a hurry". She still held it, as it shot stream after stream onto her stomach area, and she gazed at the pools of cum with a curious stare. I apologized for getting her all wet, and then got up for paper towels. I wiped her down, and then she got up and began putting her clothes back on, as I began to feel a little down, thinking that this kind of opportunity may never happen again. Sarah was walking out of my bedroom, when I asked her to wait so I could ask her something. She stopped and turned around and asked what I wanted. I said "Sarah this was so fantastic; is there any chance we could do this again sometime"? Typical of a girl; she said "Maybe, but I'll have to think about it".
A few weeks went by and there hadn't been any opportunities for me to ask her, at least none with us alone in the house, and I was starting to get very frustrated. My parents were going to a company barbecue this Saturday, and Sarah and I chose not to go, so I figured this would be my big chance to get her alone for a repeat performance. Four days and counting; I hoped that the time would go by fast, since I was masturbating three times a day just thinking about it. Friday night Sarah came to my room and asked me what I had planned for Saturday, because she was going to invite a friend over if I didn't mind. I said that mom and dad were leaving at noon, and I had no plans, except that I was hoping her and I could spend some fun time together since we had the house to ourselves. She smiled at me and said "you horny little bugger; you want to get me naked again, don't you"? I said that I had been dreaming about her for weeks and couldn't stop thinking about our last time together.
After a minute of deliberation, Sarah said that she would make my dreams come true, if I promised to obey her rules and only do what she says. I agreed and said "it's a deal sis, so what time can we start tomorrow"? She said "aren't you the impatient one; are you sure that you can last until then"? I walked over to her and touched her pussy through her shorts and said "with this beautiful pussy to look forward to, I can wait". Sarah gave my cock a little grope through my shorts and then took my hand from her pussy and said "1pm tomorrow in my room and don't be late".
When I got back to my room, I didn't know how I would stay sane thinking about 1pm tomorrow, and how I would kill time until then. I guess I would just have to be patient.

TOKYO, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Japan's imports of liquefied
natural gas hit a monthly record of 8.23 million tonnes in
January, on an increased need for fuel to generate electricity
after the nuclear sector was hit by the Fukushima crisis,
customs-cleared Ministry of Finance data showed on Wednesday.
Japan, the world's top LNG importer that shipped in a record
87.31 million tonnes last year, started the first month of the
year with a 1 percent gain over the previous monthly record of
8.15 million tonnes hit in January 2012.
With only two of the nation's 50 commercial reactors in
operation since July and no schedules for any more restarts at
least until July, the utilities' strong reliance on LNG is
expected to persist for a while longer.
Japan logged a record trade deficit of 6.927 trillion
yen($78.24 billion) in 2012, partly due to soaring LNG import
values of 6 trillion yen.
Japan's customs-cleared crude oil imports fell 4.7 percent
in January to 17.938 million kilolitres (3.64 million barrels
per day) of crude oil last month, the preliminary data also
That compared with December imports of 19.687 million kl.
Imports of thermal coal for power generation fell 13.1
percent in January to 8.71 million tonnes, the data showed.
Following is a preliminary breakdown of energy imports for
last month, with volumes of crude, oil products and
gasoline/naphtha in million kilolitres; LNG, LPG and coal in
million tonnes; values in million yen.
Fuel type Volume Yr/Yr(%) Value Yr/Yr(%)
Mineral Fuels n/a n/a 2,260,247 8.8
Crude Oil 17.938 -4.7 1,099,393 5.9
Oil products n/a n/a 256,280 33.7

Nice room, nicer people. The Queenslander is convenient, clean, and nice. Julie and Gavin provided the extra touch to make this an A+ destination. Thank you.
"On the beach for the eclipse"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 2, 2013
Loraine and Bryan were most congenial hosts. The gardens are beautiful and the pool unique in design. Walking distance to the beach wonderful. Port Douglas was close enough for convenience, but far enough for quiet and peace.

"Great Hotel Outside of Port Douglas"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 7, 2012
We were in town to visit for the eclipse. When I booked the reservation I completely forgot that the hotel was more of an extended stay type. The rooms are only services once a week and there aren't any amenities like room service, or even ice machines. Since we were outside of Port Douglas our only food options were next door at the Ramada (expensive), down the street (a great little cafe and liquor store) or taking the shuttle into Port Douglas. If you take he shuttle, I highly recommend buying a multi trip pass when you first get on. The comfort of the hotel was good and the private entry to the pool was great. Although private is a little misguided. You can see everyone's patio area except your neighbors on either side. The staff at the desk were always very helpful and even went out of their way to make us comfortable since my travel companion had an injury. The hotel is also a short walk to 4 mile beach. Excellent for eclipse viewing!

Great stay in Port Douglas. Loved the location, room was clean and bed was comfortable. Did not like that there was no shower curtain in bathroom, but that might be a room by room feature. Be advised there is no lift, but the staff helped with my luggage.

"Fortune cookie said: 'Outlook not so good'. I said: 'Sure, but Microsoft ships it anyway'." - 01-31-2013, 01:31 PM #5
Facebook is evil
they make billions of dollars by selling your personal information to marketers and god knows who else .. Why do you continue to allow someone to make billions of dollars off of the information collected from you for free.. You should start a petition forcing Facebook to pay its users for being members - 01-31-2013, 01:54 PM #7
They don't really get your data for free. They provide a service that people choose to use.
I don't have a problem with companies like Facebook or Google using data from their services to make money, especially when those services are free.
I only don't like when they don't let you know. - 01-31-2013, 02:00 PM #8
...and bafflingly (and hilariously) enough, Google is somehow exempt of all of this critique, even considering that the big G is a thousand times worse than Facebook, because they not only profit with the crap you say to your friends, but also with the things you watch, the things you search, the things you store in the cloud, your schedules, your images, etc, etc, etc...
Following your logic, Android users should also be paid for carrying 24/7 these plasticky portable ad machines - 01-31-2013, 02:19 PM #10
First and foremost we need a Facebook Messenger and Facebook app
I don't use WMPU or Reddit tbh. Could somebody forward this to them on my behalf please?
"Fortune cookie said: 'Outlook not so good'. I said: 'Sure, but Microsoft ships it anyway'." - 01-31-2013, 07:42 PM #12
it is a waste of time, they dont even develop an app for the main facebook for WP, doubt they will make any of the other apps unless a serious rise in WP happens.
I will for sure fill it out, and also 1800pocketpc is doing something similar that might help too, some people have some great suggestions already.
How would you change Facebook for Windows Phone? - 02-01-2013, 11:03 AM #15
I agree .. Since when did we decide to give up our privacy for free access to programs .... If you really like the service that Facebook and Google gives you then you must ask yourself .. Would you pay 5 bucks a months for it .. If you wouldn't pay for it then is it really a good service
I think the issue here is 3rd party apps don't get the same API access that the Facebook built ones are. Both the Me Tile and the Facebook app totally ignore all the things that are hidden in your normal web feed (or in the native iOS and Android app feed). The Facebook app on WP8 is horrible in that regards.

How do I set Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files?
dj_paige wrote:
There is no such option in LR. If you save metadata to JPG or DNG or TIF, the metadata is saved within the file; and with RAWs sidecars are always created.
Agreed, but there is the option (Edit menu, Catalog settings, Metadata tab, check box "Automatically write changes into XMP") that causes the image edits to be saved straight away into the xmp files, as well as to the catalog. Checking that option (which I do) apparently can make LR a bit slower (though I've not noticed when I've tried both options), but means that the .xmp file is always synchronised with LR's catalog (unless you edit the file externally in ACR).
If you do edit the file externally in ACR, then next time you view it in LR, there will be a little arrow top-right of the image, and if you click that it will warn you that the xmp file is out of step with LR's catalog, and gives you the option of whether you want LR to take the xmp file version, or its catalog version (and overwrite the xmp).
Thanks for the responses. The reason I ask is because of the instructions from Adobe.
Sharing Lightroom Settings with Camera Raw
By default, Lightroom's develop module settings are stored in Lightroom's database. In order to ensure that Lightroom develop settings can be viewed by Camera Raw 6 the settings must be written to the XMP metadata block for that file. This metadata is stored in an XMP sidecar file (Imagename.xmp) in the current image directory of proprietary raw files or stored directly within DNG files. To update images with the latest develop settings, choose the library module and select the group of target images. Choose the ―Save Metadata to File‖ option in the Metadata file menu.
Viewing Lightroom settings in Camera Raw
Before working in conjunction with Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files.
I'll review your responses and hopefully it will all work out. Thank you.

Not so! I run LR all the time without xmps. You just leave 'automatically save into xmps' unchecked, and don't manually save them, then you don't get any at all! And I leave 'save into jpgs, tifs, and psds' unchecked as well. All my LR metadata is stored in the catalog, and in backups. No need for xmps unless you want to transfer stuff to other programs.
Bob Frost
Bob, we are arguing different things, perhaps because of the vagueness of the original question.
First, I never said that you cannot run LR without saving the metadata to xmp.
I assumed the original question wanted to know how to create sidecar .xmp files, the key word being "sidecar", and you cannot create sidecar files via Lightroom if you are working with JPG, DNG, PSD or TIF. You can only create sidecar .xmp files for RAW photos using Lightroom.
If the original question meant how to save LR's metdata to XMP (which now seems more likely based upon the original poster's followup), then of course you and others are correct, I agree completely.
dj_paige wrote:
First, I never said that you cannot run LR without saving the metadata to xmp.
That's true. However, where and when XMP (metadata) gets saved isn't something we have full control over in that you can't not save that data into the catalog at some point right? Whether XMP gets saved in a sidecar or the catalog (and at what point) is where I think the one LR preference can come into play here.
IF Auto save XMP is off and you edit an image (raw or otherwise), if at no point was the XMP metadata gets saved to the catalog, what would you see the next time you opened that image you worked on? XMP has to be saved somewhere at some point.
I think the OP needs to know the effect of not saving the XMP to a sidecar and only into the LR database if or when that file gets opened into ACR. ACR needs that metadata and has no direct access to the LR database. Hence the recommendation posted.
dj_paige wrote:

This was never a point of contention or discussion
It is if you read the OP's post as I did (correctly or incorrectly). The OP points out the bit about Viewing Lightroom settings in Camera Raw hence I believe the question.
@Andrew Rodney, Lightroom ALWAYS SAVES ALL THE WORK YOU DO TO THE CATALOG FILE.
Saving to .xmp automatically or manually is an option. For raw files it is saved to .xmp sidecar files for jpeg, tiff, psd the xmp info is saved into the file header.
When you work with Lightroom the information by default is in the database, when you work with ACR in PS or PSE the info is saved to the file.
I work with Lightroom all the info is in the catalog, no .xmp and no DNG in my workflow.
When you work with Lightroom the information by default is in the database, when you work with ACR in PS or PSE the info is saved to the file.
I work with Lightroom all the info is in the catalog, no .xmp and no DNG in my workflow.
Which is an issue if or when you want to use ACR or if you embed data from LR as a smart object in a PS document. ACR has no access to that data in the catalog and in such workflows, can be very problematic if you don't either save as DNG or sidecar. If your entire world of image editing of raw revolves around LR, then your point is sound.
I agree and understand, but if you have the latest version of Lightroom for processing your raw files then there should be no need for ACR, I say should because I understand there are some that prefer the interface of ACR.
Then the choice should be Lightroom or Bridge as your file manager and Lightroom or ACR as your raw processor. If you have the latest version of PS CS and you are happy with Bridge to manage your files then there is no need for Lightroom.
If you prefer the Lightroom database for managing your files, then I think it best to use Lightroom as your raw processor and ignore ACR.

Good flash drivePros: This is the second Patriot flash drive I bought. The first one was 3 years ago and it still works. This one works just as well. This one has a better cover on it thoiugh than the first. This one clips on and is impossible to lose unless your a total sloppy person, and run over it with your truck. Cons: None: Just works. Did you find this review helpful? |
ExcellentPros: Good product, solid speeds and slick design Cons: None that I can see so far Other Thoughts: It works. What more can I ask? Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Very Fast. I boot Linux off this drive and it works well. Cons: Gets corrupted quite often, if you do not click Safely remove hardware, there is a good chance your data will become corrupted. Other Thoughts: Great device for basic storage, can be used to boot OS's. Always be sure to safely remove this device, or you will run into corrupted files. Overall great buy for the price. I ordered 5. Did you find this review helpful? |
ExcellentPros: I liked the price and bought a few. It is what it is, an 8 GB flash drive at a really decent price when on sale. Speed was not the deciding factor for my purchase. Hindsight being 20/20, I may consider 16 GB next time. I am a professional videographer (live events from weddings, banquets, conferences, and competitions to major music artist concerts) who uses this item to save audio/video files to pass along to my clients. It is definitely more convenient than ripping to a DVD. I have dealt with Patriot on some of their other product lines and they stand by their products according to my experiences. I have had no complaints from my clients either. Cons: No cons yet. Other Thoughts: Very convenient for saving multiple video files (up to 3). Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: It's a Patriot and it's 8g. Cons: Dead after only a handful of uses. My first disappointment with Patriot. Other Thoughts: Love my Xporter 8g and have Patriot Ram in all our laptops. Bound to have one bad experience sooner or later with all that memory. Anxious to see how good Patriot is about resolving their issues. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Met expected space requirement. Cons: I believe the cap could be tighter. It pops on and off fairly easily which can lead to loss of the cap.

Nice Flash DrivePros: 8 gig of storage at a very good price Cons: Not really a con but the cap is a little loose fitting, I expect to lose it one day, but if your like me and don't like the slider style flash drives it really isn't a big deal. Other Thoughts: Take my advice and spend the extra $4-5 to get a quality name brand flash drive. This replaced a lesser known name drive that was continually corrupting files.

harrop_mark We have a very similar story. A few of us worked as the management team on a government funded initiative to get 10 years worth of National Strategies content online only for the site to be shut down (with the change in Government) just as we were completing the project last year - while still receiving tens of thousands of unique visitors each day. Although there are mixed opinions on outcomes of the National Strategies programme as a whole there is no question that the website version of the materials offered cost effective and easy access to a huge repository of useful teaching materials (which cost millions of pounds to produce) - evidenced by the fact that the site we set up to ensure the best content lives on - www.teachfind.com - still gets over 10,000 teachers visiting each day. We also have the Teachers TV videos as well as Becta and QCDA content. Currently it's all financed by ourselves while we figure out a way to make it self sustainable - assuming we can.

by Catherine Q. O'Neill
courtesy of Warner Bros. The problem with adapting a novel into a film is that you have to decide how faithful you're going to be to the original. Fortunately for director Baz Luhrmann, F. Scott Fitgerald didn't actually spend much time describing Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. He may have hinted that she had dark, glossy hair, but in Luhrmann's new movie version, out this Friday, Carey Mulligan's Daisy is an ash blonde. True to the original text, however, she's a total stunner. Makeup artist Maurizio Silvi and hairstylist Kerry Warn told us how they turned Mulligan into the woman of Jay Gatsby's dreams.
See more: The 9 Best Sunscreens for Summer 2013
The hair: Warn, who wanted Mulligan to look classic and well bred, first cut her hair into a modern version of a 1920s style. "It's based on the semi-shingle, a layered bob with a masculine shape in the back," says Warn, who styled it with John Frieda Frizz-Ease Serum, wax, and hair spray for a lacquered effect. Then it was time for the accessories. "Daisy's, of course, had to be the most beautiful and delicate," he says, which meant the $200,000 Tiffany hair band worn in the film (that even required additional security on set). "The headpieces are duplicates of original '20s pieces from the Tiffany archives."
See more: The 10 Most Gorgeous Hair-Color Ideas for Brunettes
The makeup: To separate Daisy from a roomful of party girls, Silvi applied her makeup with a light hand. "She's so soft in everything--her eyes, cheeks, and lips," he says. On her eyes, he blended a mix of black, gray, and brown shadows followed by individual false lashes that he painstakingly applied by hand each day. Then, he pressed a light pinky nude shade from Chanel (like Chanel Rouge Allure in Seduisante) on her lips. "We decided that red lipstick didn't fit her personality," explains Silvi. To keep her skin looking era-appropriate, Silvi forbade her from going into the sun (they filmed in Australia) and smoothed a pink-based Clinique foundation on her face and neck. But there was one thing Daisy had in common with all the other women--her eyebrows. "The eyebrows were the most important part of the face because they represented the fashion of the time," says Silvi. "We plucked all the eyebrows into a 1920s shape. You would see extras walking all over downtown Sydney with those plucked eyebrows."

Haywood Community College can now boast a national champion after Daniel Jones took the title at the Stihl Collegiate Timbersports Championships in Oregon over the weekend.
Jones defeated five other collegiate champions from around the country. He won the standing block, cutting through a upright log in just more than 30 seconds, and also took first place in the single buck, peeling cookies from a felled 19-inch tree with a large, crosscut hand saw. In that event, he posted a 13.97 second time, which rivals even the speediest professional lumberjacks. His performance there would have won him eighth place in at the professional tournament, which ran alongside the college match.
In the other two events, underhand chop and stock saw, a chainsaw competition, Jones took second.
Jones won the prize with an overall score of 22. Events are judged solely on time.
He isn't the first woodsman to bring a national title back to HCC. The team also produced a national champion in 2007.
As the only team sport at a college known for its forestry program, HCC has a strong timbersports team, which includes both men and women.
Jones recently graduated with two degrees from HCC, and his top rank at the collegiate final has won him a place on the professional circuit and a few other prizes.
Before the competition, Jones thought he would wait a few years to save for proper equipment before moving into the pro series. He will now be able to make the transition next year.

There are several great hiking and biking routes with varying degrees of difficulty. Up in the mountains the routes run along mountain roads.
The gentle landscape invites you to go fishing. The terrain is easy, and there are plenty of ponds and lakes to choose from. Hallingdalselva River in Nesbyen is also a favorite among anglers.
Go canoeing along the Hallingdalselva River from Nesbyen to Flå. Gerd's Canoe Rental will drive you to/pick you up wherever you wish. Fagerhøy Fjellstue and Ranten Hotell have canoes and rowing boats for hire on the idyllic Lake Mykingsjøen.
Nesbyen is considered one of Norway's warmest places during summer, and holds the Norwegian heat record of 96.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Pick a spot along Rukkedøla River, or find a mountain pond all to youself. Trytetjern is a local favourite spot.
Nesbyen is the "old town" in Hallingdal. The village was the administration centre in the valley in the nineteenth and much of the twentieth century. You will find old houses in an idyllic part of the village, just by the museum and in the middle of the modern business quarters. Cosy cafés and galleries.
Hallingdal ride- og hestesportsenter will be opening in the autumn of 2008. Rides, riding instruction, stable rental and equestrian events are some of the things that will be available.

New Years' Day Challenge to all Mass Trap ShootersMost Recent Posts First |
Posted By | Posted Date/Time |
Porcupine | 28-Dec-08 - 08:49 PM ET |
The Holliston Sportsmen's Association (Holliston, Massachusetts) will be holding its annual New Years Day trap shoot at 1:00 PM on January 1st, 2009. What makes this special is that we believe we're the hardest trap range in New England - in fact, NOBODY has shot a 25-straight at the HSA SINCE 1987. No lie. The reasons are many: we're the smallest club you'll probably ever shoot at; we throw 3-hole targets; the trap range faces into the sun into a horrendous background; shooters MUST shoot at ANY non-broken clay that leaves the trap house, ATA-legal or not; if you take too long to shoot, the trees eat a hard left or hard right. Everyone has their favorite excuse for missing our targets! We let other clubs offer the ATA-compliant 'wuss' targets (LOL!). We're tough, we know it, and love it!
Sound easy to you? The challenge here is to be the first shooter since 1987 to shoot a 25-straight at the Holliston Sportsmen's Association! Find the directions to the HSA at the web site above. We will shoot regardless of rain or snow or cold! Trap loads only. Clays are only $4 for non-members. If you have any questions, send me a PM. Thanks and Happy New Year!

< Return To Hearing
Ms. Flora GreenJune 7, 2006
Testimony of Flora M. Green S. 3274, "Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act of 2006" Before the On behalf of our more than 4 million members of The Seniors Coalition across the country, I would like to thank the members of the Judiciary Committee for this opportunity to testify in support of S. 3274, the Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act of 2006 (the FAIR Act). The Seniors Coalition is the nation's leading free-market senior education and advocacy organization. We are a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(4) organization. I would also like to thank Chairman Specter and Senator Leahy for their unflagging commitment to enacting bipartisan national asbestos litigation reform legislation. Some may wonder why The Seniors Coalition has chosen to advocate on behalf of the asbestos trust fund legislation. I am here to tell you today that the current asbestos litigation crisis is a seniors' issue. And finding a solution to this seemingly intractable problem is a priority for seniors. The simple fact is that many of today's asbestos victims are senior citizens. These men and women made up our nation's work force and military at a time when asbestos was commonly used in manufacturing, residential and commercial construction and in many, many other ways. Because of the long latency periods associated with asbestos-related diseases, many victims are not diagnosed until they are seniors, long after the time of their harmful exposure. Seniors who worked during the World War II era up until the 1970's, when asbestos was still widely in use, are even today still being diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses. Countless victims had no idea they were being exposed to asbestos until long after the fact. As the members of this committee are well aware, a flood of asbestos claims has overwhelmed the courts, jeopardizing all victims' prospects for compensation. Over 730,000 individuals have brought claims, and as many as 300,000 claims are currently pending in the courts. Even though large-dose exposures to asbestos ended in the 1970s, and reports indicate that asbestos disease incidence is on the decline, claim filings continue and have even surged over the past decade. Because the courts are overrun with claims, seriously ill asbestos victims often have to wait years for a court date; many die without ever seeing the inside of a court room or a penny of compensation. The lengthy delays that are built into today's broken system are particularly harmful for seniors, who don't have the time to wait. Victims who finally get compensation through the courts often receive only a small portion of the actual money expended on asbestos litigation in the current system - the rest is consumed by exorbitant and wasteful transaction costs. Much of the growth in asbestos claims can be attributed to for-profit mass screening programs conducted under dubious medical standards. The result is a massive influx of claims by unimpaired claimants that exhausts resources that could otherwise be used to compensate genuinely ill individuals. The sheer volume of claims, both legitimate and questionable, and the resulting liability have forced at least 75 U.S. companies into bankruptcy. And asbestos bankruptcies hurt all victims, including seniors. For starters, bankruptcies hurt the sick because they diminish the compensation available for sick victims and result in long delays in compensation becoming available to victims. When companies file for bankruptcy, victims often face years and years of delay before being compensated only pennies on the dollar, or nothing at all. Again, this is time that seniors simply don't have. Asbestos-related bankruptcies also harm American seniors who aren't sick. Workers at many bankrupt companies have seen their retirements devastated as the value of their 401(k)s collapse along with their companies' stock prices. These bankruptcies and resulting stock losses make it even harder for seniors, especially those living on fixed incomes, to support themselves in their retirement years. The FAIR Act's trust fund approach is the only solution to the asbestos litigation crisis that will ensure fair and timely compensation for victims and certainty and finality for businesses, workers, retirees and the U.S. economy. The Fund's streamlined, administrative system will process claims efficiently and fairly, with clear eligibility requirements and fair award amounts based on clearly defined criteria that will ensure that funds will only be directed to those claimants who are truly ill due to asbestos. Moreover, the legislation provides for an accelerated start-up of the Fund, which will ensure it will be established and processing and paying claims quickly. The FAIR Act will eliminate the fraud found in today's system by taking asbestos claims out of the courts and setting up a no-fault, privately funded victims' compensation fund. Claimants would no longer need to hire an attorney to obtain compensation. By removing the financial incentives for attorneys and unscrupulous doctors to game the system, the FAIR Act will ensure that the money will end up where it rightfully belongs - in the pockets of sick asbestos victims. The Seniors Coalition applauds the recent improvements in the revised bill, S. 3274. Specifically, we are pleased to see that provisions have been added to protect the World Trade Center and Hurricane Katrina and Rita victims who were exposed to asbestos and that stronger medical criteria are now in place to make sure that only the truly impaired will be compensated. We welcome administrative changes aimed at ensuring that the sickest will be compensated first, and also, changes that will ensure veterans who are sick from asbestos exposure that occurred during their military service will have access to the Fund. As you know, veterans currently have limited avenues for seeking meaningful compensation in today's system. Finally, the new and improved bill includes significant safeguards to ensure that in the unlikely scenario that the Fund should run out of money, the burden will not fall on the backs of the U.S. government and the taxpayers. Too much time has gone by without a solution to this pressing national problem. For the sake of victims, and especially for senior victims, it is critical that this bill be passed this year. When the prior version of the FAIR Act was on the floor earlier this year, it was regrettably stymied by opponents who used procedural maneuvers to prevent a full debate on the bill. Clearly, given what's at stake here, the Senate should have an opportunity to fully debate this important bill on its merits. We are confident that with your leadership, this new version of the asbestos victims' trust fund legislation, S. 3274, can be brought to the Senate floor for the up-or-down vote it deserves. Be assured that our members stand ready to help in any way we can to help see that asbestos victims finally get the relief they desperately need. |

U.S. Senator
April 1, 2009
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
Remarks on Nomination of Ron Weich
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
As the members of the committee know, United States Senators have the opportunity over the course of our careers to work with a tremendous number of staff members.
We are grateful for every one of them. But among this dedicated group of men and women, a few stand out -- with intellect, dedication and work ethic that make them indispensable.
On my staff, Ron Weich stands out. As part of my senior staff since 2005, he has been by my side for every critical legal question we have faced.
I recommend Ron for the position of Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs with some measure of sadness to lose him in my office, but with absolute confidence that he will serve Attorney General Holder and the American people with the utmost skill and dedication.
Like his mother, who was one of the first women to graduate from Brooklyn Law School, Ron began his legal career in the courtroom.
After attending Columbia University and Yale Law School, Ron tried cases involving violent crimes as an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan.
There is no question that part of what makes Ron so effective at his job is the "real-world" experience he learned in those courtrooms. This experience gives him the perspective to understand how to make legal policy that will actually work in practice.
While many of his colleagues were entering the private sector, Ron has spent almost his entire career in public service. We become a better country when men and women like Ron make the choice to make a difference.
After his tenure in the Manhattan District Attorney's office, Ron served at the U.S. Sentencing Commission and for Senator Specter and Kennedy. Following a stint at a law firm, Ron returned to government service to work as my senior and then chief counsel after I became Democratic leader following the 2004 elections.
Ron's work for Senators Kennedy and Specter are indicative of a character trait that will serve him well as Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs: he has built a foundation of trust and friendship among key Members of Congress and staff on both sides of the aisle.
For example - Ron was a voice of reason during debate over the "nuclear option" and worked closely with members of the "Gang of 14" as they negotiated a solution to that potential legislative crisis. Ron also took a lead role in the landmark ethics and lobbying reform legislation we passed last year, working to pass a bill that would be both meaningful and practical.
In his new role, Ron will be responsive to requests from both sides. In the best tradition of our Department of Justice, he will serve in a manner blind to partisanship, blind to politics, with a clear eye only toward ensuring equality in our laws.
Ron's parents, Robert and Cecile, his wife, Julie, and their two daughters, Sophie and Sara, are all here today. I am grateful that they have shared Ron with us so generously through the years.
In his new role, Ron will be an integral role of rebuilding the Department of Justice to be once again a place where all are equal under the law, all are protected by the law, and no one is above the law.
I am confident that he will serve President Obama, Attorney General Holder, and most importantly, the American people, exceptionally well.

Who doen' t want a clean and neat wardrobe?
As style comes from your wardrobe, I will soon re-organise mine for autumn/winter!!! I usually clean my closet every 2 weeks, but twice a year I do major changes, such as giving away clothes,buying new boxes to put accessories, changing the order my clothes are hung etc…
Part 1
According to me, in order to organise your clothes, you have to follow these steps:
- Take all of your clothes out of your closet and create piles (you can hang or leave them on your bed) by category (for your pants/jeans, your skirts, your tops, your dresses, your coats and your jackets).
- Look at your clothes carefully and distinguish those you don' t like anymore or you can' t match them. Create a new pile.
- Find the clothes you haven't worn for a long time, because you didn't fit in and try them on. If they don' t fit, toss them!!!
- Focus on the rest of your clothes. Try all of them on and see how you can mix and match them. Be carefull not to destroy the piles after trying on the clothes. While doing that, search for stains you hadn' t seen before! Create a pile of dirty clothes.
- Now, look at the clothes you didn' t like (from step 2). Do you believe that you can wear something again? If you can, put them back to the right pile.
- After you have cleaned the closet properly, hang your dresses, tops, blouses , shirts, coats, jackets and/or jeans and pants according to their color and don't forget to put them by category, as the piles!!! Fold your casual t-shirts, tops and knitwear. I hang my activewear altogether on the end of my closet.
- Enjoy!!!
You can put scented sachets and paper sheets in your closet and shelves.
You can give the clothes you tossed to people in need.
I'll do another post about accessories, jewellery and make-up products.

Progressive expands tracking program to non-customers
- Tweet

(Reuters) - Progressive Corp (PGR.N) already has hundreds of thousands of auto insurance customers who willingly let the company track their driving behavior in exchange for the chance at substantial discounts, and on Monday the company opened the door to competitors' clients as well.
Progressive, the fourth-largest U.S. auto insurer, said it would open its "Snapshot" usage-based insurance program to anyone who wanted to track how well they drive.
Based on 30 days of driving data, people can earn a prospective discount on their insurance premiums, which Progressive would then apply if the user decides to become a customer. Historically, the insurer said, roughly 70 percent of people who sign up for the program end up earning a discount.
The Snapshot device, which plugs into a port in cars built after 1996, tracks behavior like miles driven, braking patterns and even what time of day a car is used. The new trial program will be available in 35 of the 42 states where Progressive currently offers the service to its existing clients.
The company, which has already analyzed more than 5 billion driven miles, says its driving-behavior data is twice as good as any other factor in predicting risk, and that loss costs for bad drivers turn out to be roughly 2.5 times higher than they are for good drivers.
Yet even for the highly competitive auto insurance market, Progressive's move is aggressive. The company claims it is the first time drivers can objectively compare the rate they would be charged with the rate they currently pay their carrier.
"With the test drive of Snapshot, you do the 30 days, you're not a customer, you can just see what your discount is," said Richard Hutchinson, general manager of usage-based insurance for Progressive.
Already a heavy advertiser via the persona of the perky sales clerk "Flo," Progressive is planning what Hutchinson called "a big, big campaign in all dimensions" to promote the expansion of the program.
"Flo will be everywhere," Hutchinson said. SNL Financial recently ranked Progressive as the fourth-largest advertiser in the property insurance industry, spending more than $500 million on media in 2011.
One of the most obvious fears for consumer advocates is the possibility that insurers would use the data they gather from technology like "Snapshot" to raise rates on customers, especially as Progressive's peers move to catch up with the insurer and launch their own usage-based programs.
But one industry consultant recently said it will likely end up being another way around - customers will have to pay extra to not be tracked by their insurer, given how aggressively the industry is expanding in that direction.
"Whatever the math will say the rates will have to start going up on the rest of it," said Robin Harbage, global marketing and sales leader for consultancy Tower Watson's auto insurance practice, in an interview that pre-dated the Progressive announcement.
"It's almost inevitable that the people who aren't using will have to pay more because the people who are the best drivers are being self-selected into these programs."
The technology also has the strong backing of environmentalists. A 2010 MIT study bankrolled by the Conservation Law Foundation found converting all Massachusetts drivers to a mileage-based insurance platform would reduce accident costs and fuel consumption by 9.5 percent.
