DOBBS, or Delayed Onset Blue Ball Syndrome, is a rather common occurrence in human males. Associated with the common "Blue Ball Syndrome", DOBBS is the occurrence of this syndrome, after a prolonged period of time. It happens most often after an intense make out session with a girl. The more intense the session, and the closer you get to sex, without doing it, the more painful the result. Methods of prevention include, but are not limited to: excessive masturbation, celibacy, and just tappin' that shit.
"Dude, Jenny and I totally made out last night!"
"Well, how was it? Ya get any?"
"No man, and all I've got now is a bad case of the DOBBS."

PRINCETON (WVVA) -- Access to public water is not something residents of Elgood, West Virginia have ever had.
Elgood could soon have public water from a water extention available from Oakvale, West Virginia. The extention is part of phase 4 of the Mercer-Summers Water Project.
Many residents have to currently haul water from a frost-proof hydrant just to get the amount they need to live on a daily basis.
Some residents have wells and springs, but those are not providing the water they need.
The Mercer County Commission has applied for a grant to fund the project.

Hundreds of entries for memorial but there can only be one winner
9:10am Sunday 19th September 2010 in Campaigns By Emma Streatfield , Senior Reporter
Here they are – the final six entries.
They have ranged from a child's drawing on the back of an envelope to individuals from all over Europe.
But Southampton finally has its top six designs as the quest to bring a Spitfire memorial to the city's docks moved a step closer.
A panel of judges whittled down the 315 entries that were submitted in just three weeks and have been on display at Southampton's Solent Sky Museum.
The winning entry for the 180ft statue will be at the entrance to the city's waterfront.
Alan Jones, director of the museum, said: "The interest has been enormous, the phone hasn't stopped with calls from people saying how's it going, have you had my design, which has proved there is an insatiable appetite for the Spitfire."
The judging panel included Mark Spearing, head of the School of Engineering Sciences at Southampton University, Councillor John Hannides and the Daily Echo editor Ian Murray.
They scrutinised each one for its artistic merit, but also structural feasibility.
The winner will be selected in six to eight weeks and the landmark should be in place by the end of 2011, in line with the 75th anniversary of the Spitfire's maiden flight at Eastleigh.
It will sit on land beside the Trafalgar dry dock alongside the state-of-the-art £19m Ocean Terminal, only two miles from the Supermarine Aviation site where RJ Mitchell developed the aircraft.
No taxpayers' money is being spent on the scheme so the £2m needed will be raised by the Spitfire Tribute Foundation.
It comes as ceremonies across the country this weekend mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, in which Southampton's Supermarine Spitfire became a symbol.
- Charles Rist's desgn
- Martin Witts design
- James Burnell's design
- Christopher Draper's design
- Charles Knowles's design
- Jonathan Lucas's design
The Daily Echo has backed a long-running campaign to honour those who built and flew the plane.
Councillor Hannides, chairman of the Spitfire Tribute Foundation, said: "Clearly the Spitfire does hold a special place in people's hearts and for many people it's also a source of inspiration.
"It's a recognition of the Spitfire both in terms of its engineering innovation and in securing the freedom of the country."
Mr Jones added: "When you think of all the public art in the country how often does the public say how it will look.
"We have had designs by children on the back of an envelope to professional graphic artists."
All designs will continue to be displayed at the museum for a month.

Queen's United Way campaign in full swing
The Queen's United Way campaign is off to an impressive start with 47 per cent of the $320,000 goal raised after just a few weeks.
"The Queen's United Way campaign is a vital part of the community. Every dollar raised in support of United Way programs and services improves lives in our community and our students, faculty, staff and retirees consistently rise to the challenge of the campaign goal," says staff co-chair Shelley Aylesworth-Spink.
In 2010, the United Way serving Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (KFLA) funded 106 critical programs and services that helped 74,000 people.
"Supporting the campaign is such a worthwhile endeavour because the United Way helps build a stronger community and enhances the quality of life for so many people," says labour co-chair Sherri Ferris.
The Queen's community—staff, faculty, students and retirees—donated $326,000 to the local United Way campaign last year, the largest workplace contribution in KFLA. Queen's retirees contributed $108,000, making them a leader among other Canadian university retiree groups.
Roberta Hamilton volunteered to serve as the retiree co-chair after reading Lawrence Scanlan's A Year of Living Generously and learning that approximately 3,800 local children, from junior kindergarten to Grade 12, arrive at school hungry and do not have a lunch.
"Programs supported by the United Way including the Loving Spoonful and Food Sharing Project touch our lives and the lives of our families, friends and neighbours in many ways. A key group of programs supports children and young people so that they have a better chance to develop their potential," says Ms Hamilton.
The Alma Mater Society United Way Committee co-chairs Jordan Lee and Heather Lawton are excited for another successful campaign.
"As well as trying to reach our monetary goal, we want to bring more structure and focus on outreach work. Part of our campaign will be dedicated to breaking free of the "Queen's bubble" by giving back to the Kingston community," says Ms Lawton.
The committee recently organized an event where students could get important information about mental health and counselling services available on campus and in the community.
Campaign information and pledge cards have been delivered to campus mailboxes. As well, the date for the annual United Way barbeque will be announced in the coming weeks.

As Roth IRA and Roth 401(k) retirement plans gain in popularity, unsuspecting investors may fall prey to a potentially expensive mistake. Money in a Roth 401(k) or Roth IRA account can be withdrawn tax free, assuming the withdraw meets IRS requirements. In contrast, withdrawals from traditional 401(k)s and deductible IRAs are taxed as ordinary income when when you take the money out.
As a result, a dollar in a Roth account is worth a dollar at retirement. But a dollar in a traditional retirement account is worth a dollar minus the taxes you'll pay when you withdraw the money. So what's the potential gremlin lurking in your 401(k)? It's treating Roth retirement savings the same as traditional retirement savings when making your investment decisions.
Let's look at an example to see how this mistake could impact your investments.
After-Tax Asset Allocation – An Example
Let's assume the following three things for our example:
- you have $200,000 in retirement savings, $100,000 in Roth 401(k)s and Roth IRAs, and $100,000 in traditional 401(k)s and deductible IRAs;
- You have decided to invest 50% in stock mutual funds and 50% in bond mutual funds (your asset allocation may be different, but using a 50/50 split makes this example easier to follow);
- You will pay 25% in taxes when you withdraw funds from your traditional 401(k) and deductible IRAs during retirement.
Now with these assumptions in mind, let's look at the following example:
You invest $100,000 in stock funds in your traditional retirement accounts; you invest the other $100,000 in bond funds in your Roth retirement accounts.
Have you achieved your desired 50/50 split between stocks and bonds? It may look like you have, but the answer is no. Why?
While your traditional retirement accounts have a balance of $100,000, you will eventually pay Uncle Sam $25,000. So after factoring in taxes, you only have $75,000 invested in stocks. In other words, what you thought was a 50/50 split between stocks and bonds actually is a 43/57 split between stocks and bonds on an after-tax basis.
After-Tax Asset Allocation in Action
So how do we fix this problem? The answer is really simple–implement your asset allocation plan based on after-tax dollars. To do this, you 'll need to make an estimate of what percentage of your traditional retirement accounts you'll pay in taxes. This is very much a guestimate, particularly if you're young, but I think a reasonable estimate can be made. I've chosen 25% for these examples; you may decide on a different estimate that is more appropriate for your situation.
Once you've decided on an estimate for future taxes, deduct this from your traditional account balances, and then calculate your asset allocation. In our above example, we want a 50/50 split of the after-tax balance of $175,000. This would mean that we invest $87,500 in stock funds and $87,500 in bond funds, on an after-tax basis.
How do we do this? Well, since no taxes are paid on Roth retirement accounts, we could reduce the $100,000 we currently have invested in bonds in the Roth account down to $87,500. The remaining $12,500 in the Roth accounts would be allocated to stock mutual funds, as would all of the traditional retirement account investments.
At first glance this may seem odd. Under this scenario, we have a total of $112,500 in stocks. But if we subtract the $25,000 in taxes we'll eventually pay from the traditional retirement accounts, our after tax investment in stocks hits are target asset allocation of $87,500 ($100,000 – $25,000 + $12,500).
Is life too short to worry about after-tax asset allocation?
Particularly if math was not your favorite subject, fussing with after-tax asset allocation may seem like more trouble than it's worth. That's my view when it comes to comparing traditional retirement accounts with my taxable accounts. I may pay slightly more in taxes on my traditional retirement accounts, but not enough to worry about, in my opinion.
After state tax, my retirement accounts will get hit with about 21% in taxes. And while the initial investment is not taxed, the vast majority of what I have in taxable accounts is unrecognized capital gains. Why? Because I'm a buy and hold investor who keeps investments for decades.
But now that I've just started investing in a Roth 401(k), I believe that after-tax asset allocation is an important consideration. And calculating an after tax asset allocation only takes a few minutes. Here are the steps:
- Estimate your future tax rate to be applied to your traditional retirement accounts.
- Calculate your total after-tax retirement account balances by subtracting your estimated tax rate from your traditional retirement accounts.
- Using the after tax balance, determine how much of each asset class you need to implement your asset allocation plan (you do have an asset allocation plan, don't you?).
- If the investment is held in a Roth account, the amount invested will simply be the amount calculated in step 3, because no taxes will be paid on this money when you take it out.
- If the investment is held in a traditional retirement account, divide the amount you calculated in step 3 by the following number: 1 – your estimated tax rate.
A quick example for this last step. Let's assume your asset allocation calls for 10% to be invested in REITs, and your total retirement funds on an after-tax basis equal $175,000. Thus, you need to invest $17,500 on an after-tax basis in REITs. If the REIT were held in a Roth account, you'd simple invest the full $17,500.
But if it's held in a traditional account, divide $17,500 by 1 – your tax rate, or in our example, 1 – 25%. Thus, we would divide $17,500 by .75, resulting in an investment of $23,333. And just to confirm that this works, you can subtract our estimated tax rate of 25% from $23,333, resulting in our after tax allocation goal of $17,500.

Ben Edwards, set, costume, and lighting designer and occasional theatrical producer, died on Friday, February 12, at his home in Manhattan. Edwards, whose career spanned 50 years, was 82 years old.
Following are some tributes:
Robin Wagner (set designer): When I arrived in New York in 1958, the busiest designer in town was Ben Edwards. While I waited months to see most designers, Ben found the time to see me right away. He also gave me a job that lasted almost four years and taught me just about everything I've ever learned about set design. It's hard to describe just how influential he was to so many designers and directors, but throughout his career, he continued to be a force in the theatre and an inspiration to the design community. Ben's work reflected his innate elegance as a man--always impeccable, superbly detailed, and filled with human character. His was a vision that synthesized very accurate observation with evocative poetic imagery. It was an extraordinary vision which, like the man, will be greatly missed.
Rui Rita (lighting designer): Ben Edwards was not a man of the theatre so much as he was theatre personified. Grace and dignity with a ready smile and a disarming Southern charm...it was no surprise to me that leading actresses and actors felt as at home in his creations as they did with its creator. His strong design sense and subdued palette allowed actors to feel supported rather than stifled. I am indebted to this great designer, great theatrical personality, and great man.
Arnold Abramson (owner, Studio South, Boynton Beach, FL; former owner of Nolan Studios, NY): The first time I met Ben was at Triangle Studios, where we were painting The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker [1953]. I was new in scene painting then, and never imagined a stage set could be so enchanting. It was refined and tasteful, with a remarkable sense of color. I have never forgotten it.
Triangle Studios became Nolan Scenery Studios; Willy Nolan and Ben were the closest of friends, and I became a friend of Ben's as well later on. I worked with him on many shows: Waltz of the Toreadors, Purlie Victorious, The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, and A Touch of the Poet, to name a few. The last was Vita and Virginia.
Ben was always a joy to work with. He was a good friend and I will always miss that reserved, fine Southern gentleman.
Zoe Caldwell (actress): Ben Edwards designed our house, and if I could manage it, every play that I either directed or was in. And he also set a standard for our sons to look up to. So...what do I do now?
Jennifer Tipton (lighting designer): I first worked with Ben on Long Day's Journey Into Night, with Jason Robards and Colleen Dewhurst. The show started at Yale, where I had met Jane Greenwood, Ben's wife. It was one of several productions that were part of a Eugene O'Neill centennial retrospective; I remember thinking how beautiful Ben's set was to light, and how elegant it was. He was a very elegant man, too. I recall dancing with him after a Tony Awards ceremony. He was a divine dancer...I'm afraid I was not, but it was a lovely experience.
Robert Whitehead (producer): Ben was a graceful, modest, high-living (even wild-living), tasteful, courtly gentleman.
He had a marvelous talent, deep and sensitive understanding as a designer for the author's intent and content, and he never strayed from the truth.
Tony Walton (designer/director): Ben Edwards was a truly classy gent. A gentleman in every sense--as must have been said more often of him than of most in our curious profession. He leaves a serious gap in the theatre design community with his passing.
As Playbill's resident caricaturist and graphic doodler in the late 50s, I was able to see everything on Broadway, and thus became thoroughly aware of Ben's work long before meeting him. I have vivid memories of his fine sets, costumes, and lighting for plays such as Dark at the Top of the Stairs, The Ponder Heart, and The Waltz of the Toreadors. And later, his superb designs for a wide range of O'Neill's plays, among so many others.
Not long after my Playbill stint, I was blessed to have Ben's wife-to-be, Jane Greenwood, as costume associate on my first Broadway design outing (a one-night wonder chiefly made bearable by Jane's unquenchable and splendidly individual sense of humor). Through this collaboration and friendship, I came--at last--to know Ben a little and to relish all the results of this marriage of marvelous designers. The bustling and beautiful family home Jane and Ben created was a sane, warm haven in a crazy city. Sane, warm, and elegant, like Ben himself.
His remarkable body of work--all imbued with great taste, vast knowledge, and the striking simplicity that comes from strength and conviction--is a superb legacy. The American theatre is immensely richer for his deeply productive and loving involvement in it. And we are all richer for having been touched by his grace. We'll miss you, Gentle Ben.

The McEverything is Every McDonalds Sandwich Stacked, Costs $140.33
Trying everything on a restaurant's menu isn't a new concept for food bloggers, but Dude Foods took the idea a step further when they conceived of The McEverything. What exactly is a McEverything? It's exactly what it sounds like. Nick from Dude Foods bought every single sandwich available at his local McDonald's, which cost him a whopping $140.33, and then stacked them all on top of each other. The 43 different burgers and sandwiches were secured on top of one another with bamboo skewers and reached the height of the McDonald's light fixtures.
Would you try the McEverything?

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This stout line offers a brief but intense 35 feet of pocket cranking on beautiful rock. Begin up unprotected 5th class ledges to a big ledge and a belay bolt. There is no reason to belay up here, so clip this with a long sling. Difficult cranks between big, sloping crimps lead up the bulge right off the ledge. In the middle, a few, big pockets offer some respite before reaching a horizontal break with some small sharp crimps, and a lot of blank stone above. A super-long crank to a decent, 3-finger pocket is the key to this blank stretch. Bigger hand holds but scarce feet lead to the anchor.
Next route right of Potato Chipper, on a north-facing, dihedral wall.
Smithsonian bolts protect the hard climbing above the ledge. May want some gear for the 5th class 'approach'.

New charges start at underwater car park: Canvey's Oak Road car park deserted (From Southend Standard)

New charges start at underwater car park: Canvey's Oak Road car park deserted
2:00pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Echo News By Luke Lambert
CAR parks in Castle Point appear to have been abandoned after the council introduced parking charges.
A number of residents said they were frustrated at the charges and waiting restrictions, especially Oak Road car park, Canvey, after it continued to flood in heavy rain.
Charges were introduced on February 1 at Oak Road as well as Richmond Hall, Benfleet, and Lubbins car park, on Canvey seafront.
Since then, the usually busy car parks appear to have been quiet as people park free elsewhere.
George Whatley, 72, of Limburg Road, Canvey, said: "All the while people are told to pay for a car park which is only half usable because of flooding, then why on earth would they use it?
"It is totally wrong and of course people will look elsewhere if they can save some money."
Disgruntled residents took to Facebook to vent their frustration at the condition of the paidfor car parks.
Tara Newman said: "It's in such a poor state – don't use it.
"They will soon take away the pay and display, unlessamiracle happens and they sort the puddle out."
Meanwhile, others have joked a "boats for hire" service should be introduced.
A £240,000 refurbishment of the car parks will begin in spring to improve the condition of the council's parking facilities.
Residents can still park free at car parks in Hart Road, Thundersley; Homestead, Hadleigh; Richmond Avenue, Benfleet; Castle Lane, Hadleigh and Thorney Bay, Canvey.
Colin Riley, Conservative councillor responsible for the environment and street scene, said he was not aware of a drop in the number of people parking.
He said: "We will review the situation at each car park, but it is far too early to do that at the moment.
"After three to six months we will be in a better position to act, if we need to. We'll see what happens.
"Oak Road is the first one that will be repaired. We have commisioned a drainage survey as there is a problem every time we get a deluge of rain.
"This is being carried out as we speak and we are already pumping the car park twice a week.
"However, we can't begin excavation works until the survey is concluded.
"I expect to see things progress over the next couple of weeks and the work may be done in two months."

Didn't they try charging here once before? And nobody used it, so the charges were stopped? If we hold firm and don't pay maybe it would become free again.

Castle Point Council exgtremely short sighted. When people can't park free it harms the local shopkeepers. When their businesses are no longer viable the shops will stand empty which means Castle Point Council loses business rate tax. Plus more people without jobs.

Suprised Castle Point Council hasn't included these car parks in its local housing plan now that they will become deserted..........un
less of course that's their motive.

Thanks for the tip re. School Lane on a Saturday. I wasn't aware of that.

Ahoy! It's here again – International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Started in 1995 by two Oregon friends as an inside joke, the "holiday" gained national recognition in 2002 when it caught the attention of syndicated humor columnist Dave Barry. It is "celebrated" by seadogs and scurvy mates everywhere on Sept. 19.
In June the state of Michigan even voted to officially recognize the holiday, although the gesture is largely symbolic.

Derry News
---- — LONDONDERRY — To celebrate 40 years of making whole food supplements in New Hampshire, MegaFood will host a community-wide festival at its new facility in Londonderry.
A ZingMojo Festival of Local Freshness will be held July 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the facility at 11 Delta Drive.
The festival features live music, local produce, activities for children and tours of the company's facility.
MegaFood publicist Amy Summers said the company has worked hard on creating healthy products — about 53 in all.
"It's one of the very first whole food suppliers," Summers said. "It's a very long history."
Summers said since whole food nutritional products are very popular now, the new facility in Londonderry is keeping up with all the trends in foods today.
FoodState, MegaFood makers CEO Robert Craven said the event on July 20 will show visitors just how passionate the company is about good health.
"ZingMojo is that state of controlled craziness that emerges when a group of passionate people are in a hurry to deliver a mission that improves lives," Craven said. The festival is a way for us to share our passion for whole food supplements with our local community and celebrate our 40th birthday."
MegaFood has been a pioneer in the whole food supplement movement by launching more than 50 varieties of supplements designed for men, women and children.
The company was founded on the idea that dietary supplements could be successfully made from farm fresh whole foods.
The event is free and open to the public.
For information about MegaFood or the festival, visit singmojo.com or megafood.com.

The ship is obviously dated but well equipped, we made use of the gym and sauna everyday which was a key factor for us. There are lots of public areas although not all of these were used. This would be my only concern for the cruise, the entertainment and on board activities were limited. I felt that the cruise staff were less than interested and even leaving ports found it hard to muster any sort of deck party. On the whole the staff were friendly but not as attentive as RCL or Princess but your not paying those prices so we were happy. Top tip would be to check out the hot tub in the gym as there are only 3 outside and they get very busy very quickly. As does the serenity area but I love this, it's a real positive for Carnival.
Leaving New York in March was always going to be hit or miss and actually it was miss for us as we got caught in a bad storm leaving furniture flying as we sailed downed south. We thought it was fun but the ships team managed it well.
Again to recap, Carnival is amazing value for money. The Miracle is not as great as some other ships we have been on nor were the staff but everything was good, exactly what we were looking for. We had a great time and are next heading on the Legend in June!!

These Wife Funny poems are examples of Funny poems about Wife. These are the best examples of Wife Funny poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
I was changing a tire and the neighbor walked by
Stood and looked a while, then he said Hi
Got a flat? he asked and this made me grin
I said no, just changing the old air and putting new stuff in.
Was coughing and sneezing. My throat was on fire
Got a bad cold? My wife did inquire
No, it's not really bad. It is a good one
I love watery eyes and watching my nose run.
I was on a bus and on my newspaper I sat
The guy next to me asked "Are you reading that"
I said yes. Reading through your butt is all the new rage.
Then I stood up and turned the page.
Dentist hit a nerve and I came up out of the chair
Did that hurt? He asked as though he really did care.
I said no, there was a spiritual woman I used to date
And she was teaching me how to levitate.
I hit a pothole with my car one night
It made such a loud noise it gave my wife a fright
Didn't you see it she began to cry
Of course I did. I hit it. Didn't I.
Once I tripped on one of my little guy's toys
Fell down the stairs and my wife heard the noise
Did you miss a step? She screamed from the hall
I said "No Dear, I think I hit them all."
Lemme tell ya' about a
*ding-bat skit-zo
bee-hotch* tranny
named Annie...
I met her one night
under disco lights
up at Candies
She was
starin' at me
grittin' her teeth
aimin' ta' see
if I wanted a piece
of he
of she
by way of flashin' granny panties
She was
shootin' pool
actin' a fool
so I
took a shot
and one tiny glance
but got caught
So I
lit up a smoke
and tried to play it off cool
but it was too late
she had pulled up a stool
She slurred,
"Hey young felluh, where ya' been all my life!"
I replied,
"Sorry to burst yir' bubble, but I got a wife!"
"That don't matter kid, what she don't know won't hurt the girl"
as she fisted my collar and yelled, "I'LL ROCK YIR' WORLD! Annie the Tranny is what they call me. Bet you been wanted ta' bone me since you first saw me!"
Fear and frustration danced on my face
I begged the bouncer to
"Get this he/she outta the place!"
My pleas were to no avail,
and that sea donkey lurked hot on my trail
flailin' it's arms and grindin' bar stools with it's tail
Speakin' of tails...
a shiny blue wale tail crept up her back
Her jeans were mean, but couldn't hold her underwear's elastic slack
but at least it beat feastin' eyes upon her crack
then she...
wrapped her grimy hands around my neck and asked,
"You n' me, boy, what the heck!?!"
I screamed,
"Look here lady, you seem real nice for a tranny;
ya' see...
ya' need
to hit the bricks,
and yir' Granny Panties!"
At that point the joint started to really heat up
people were glarin' like they really wanted me beat up
I can't recall how the hell I got out of there
alive and free
it was like a big manly freight train
headin' dead at me
I'm pretty sure I owe the good Lord a big favor
that beast was the devil
and Jesus was my Savior!
It's a night I thought would never end...
the night at Candies Bar n' Grill
Granny Panty Annie got a thrill
tryin' to make me her sexy friend!!!
There once was a man from Niagara
whose wiener's so long it would stab ya'
but when it got little
his pills became skittles
until he O.D.'d on Viagra

A DINNER INVESTMENT (for Eve)
My husband Chris Adams always wines and dines me.
In the most expensive places one can eat.
Arriving in LIMO style.
Waiting upon the waiters greet.
Viewing the menu I reply, "Hun I am ready to order."
1 T-bone steak, fully cook the meat.
At our table, walked a gorgeous snake eyed women.
Who leaned over my husband's seat
Approaching my Chris with a big wet kiss.
I stomp my husband on his feet.
Giving him the look when I get pissed.
She slithers with her tongue into my Adams ear and whispers
"Later, go to that hotel where we always meet"
With one stare I yell, "Chris how could you cheat!"
"I had enough, I want a divorce MR.ADAMS!"
Slapping him in the moment of heat.
He replies, "She is my mistress Bath-Sheba my dear EVE!"
"I do not love her my sweet."
"I understand if you want a divorce!" Mr. Adams replied.
"Remember, no more furs, luxury suite, Winters in Barbados,
Summers in Tuscany."
"Infinity or Lexus, and first class plane seats."
"Forget about the Yacht Club."
"Party by the swimming pool of one hundred feet."
"It is up to you my Kitty Skat Eve to give it all up."
"You decide if these diamonds you want to keep."
Without thinking of taking a leap.
I see Mr. Adams business partner Cain with a Jezebel in his arms.
I ask my husband Chris in a small peep.
"Do not tell me that Cain commits Adultery to?"
"Cain's blond looks really cheap, as if she works the street."
"Well, our mistress is prettier, and looks real sweet."
"Honey our mistress Bath-Sheba is worth the keep."
"Mr. Adams tonight you can call me Steve and not Eve,
What ever it takes to satisfy your needs, and my gold lust!"
(The moral of the story is what some Eve's will do to keep their investment,
I mean Adam's.) A joke and dedication to the most blunt Poet

I shall daily visit the beauty parlor
And make myself beautiful for you.
I shall never clean the house
So that my skin is not tarred.
I shall ever watch my figure,
Eating calorie less foods and drinks.
I shall stay home all day
And will never be stay at home mom
But will go for Disco at night.
I shall not take drugs
But a drink or two in limits.
I shall awake late in the morning
So that you are not disturbed.

I shall buy the furniture to invent

Our house will be all pronouns

Paradise In A Dream
There is so much weighing me down
The daily toils of doing what others want
Screaming kids fighting all day long
Another four hours of Dora The Explorer
Trying to cook dinner with nothing in the cupboards
Every member of the family wanting something different
Hot dogs for the youngest
Mac and cheese for the little girl who won't eat anything
Cheese steak sandwiches for the adults
There is a fashion show on the TV for my wife
The basketball playoffs can wait for another day
I haven't seen a Celtics game in more than ten years
A fuse blows in the middle on the evening
Those basement stairs were not meant for a man my size
Finally the time has come for a peaceful sleep
Until my daughter finds a monster under her bad
Screaming and crying while I scare the monster away
I close my eyes as the moon rises
The witching hour when the dead rises
My dreams take me away to a paradise
The tropical sun tans my half naked body
Naked women chase each other on empty beaches
No kids, no wife and no fashion shows
Too bad morning and another day has to come
Too bad that I love my wife and kids
Otherwise I just might stay asleep
An old herbal gard'ner turned bard
dedicated and well-versed
now works his pen from his backyard
in plants and poems immersed.
His choice nouns engender meaning
cleverly minted with scents.
Rare verbs gingerly gleaning
from time's savory essence.
Somewhat focused on composing
but nettled by a drizzle;
unexpected down-hosing
causes his brain to fizzle.
Lo! His inspiration now gone
like the ink upon his page.
Mrs. Bard calls from the lawn
"I just watered the sage."
"Where did you put it?,"I don't know,it must be over there"
"It isn't I just told you!,"Well I don't really care!"
"You said you put it up somewhere,now where the hell is it?"
"Ive looked,and searched every bloody where,and i still cannot find it".
"So what,what else is new,you always say the same",
"As if ,that on this planet earth,there is no-one else to blame".
"Well I really need it,you know I do,I'd appreciate the help".
"Now,that's better,talk to me nice,and watch out for your bloody self".
"Here it is,I told you it was,why don't you listen to me?"...
"Sometimes,you really amaze me,it's as if you could'nt see".
"Well I'm sorry,I really am,but I'm kind of in a rush";
"Shh,don't say anything,please don't speak,I wish you would just hush."
"Well,Im off then,I'll see you later,I'll be home in time for tea".
"So what",I say,whatever you reckon,Thank God,now there's only just me.
(This is a fictional poem)
My wife is an alien and this morning she laid an egg.
She may be green but she has a great pair of legs.
She has two large antennas that are on her head.
She's smarter than Einstein but she's lousy in bed.
The egg will hatch next month and when it does, we'll have a little tyke.
It will be half human and half alien, I'm scared of what it will look like.
My wife is ugly and people usually scream after they've seen her.
We just got in a big fight over finances and she bit off my wiener.
We were deeply in love but now she's my foe.
If an alien proposes to you, you'd better say no.
I knew I was in danger
The day our wedding was
When the preacher asked do you take this woman
You answered He does
We've had a long long marriage and I hope it doesn't end
But you should have married Obama
Because you both know how to spend
The police stopped me in another city
Are you lost they wanted to know
I told them no, i'm married
My wife tells me where to go
I took off my ring because
You'll never let me be
I was perfect until I put it on
Then you found a thousand faults with me
You were a pain in the house
But I thought that it would pass
Then I stood with you out into the yard
And you were a pain in the grass
You wanted a gift with a message
For our twentieth anniversary
So I bought you a set of luggage
What more could you want from me
The lobotomy made me happy
And I'm still glad you're mine
So, on this day of love
Will you be my Valentine
I know that you don't like my poem
But it was all in fun
So won't you be my Valentine
And put down that freakin' gun.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A judge has denied a motion by West Virginia Radio Corp. to reset West Virginia University's bidding process over a media rights contract for sporting events.
Judge Thomas Evans in Morgantown on Monday declined West Virginia Radio's bid for a preliminary injunction, citing the likelihood of significant financial harm to the university.
Evans also cited the public interest because WVU's football team plays its first game on Saturday. The university had argued it would be nearly impossible and very expensive to get a new media rights partner in time.
West Virginia Radio wants to stop WVU from finalizing a 12-year contract with North Carolina-based IMG College.
Earlier Monday, Evans rejected a request by the WVU board of governors, the WVU Foundation and other parties to dismiss the lawsuit.

"My feather pillow loses it shape," said Shelley Darnall.
Darnall hopes this one won't. Makers of Sobakawa Cloud Pillow promise it will conform to your head, never losing shape, all thanks to special micro fiber beads that apparently also keep you cool.
Does it work?
"When I toss and turn, like I normally do, it keeps up. It's good," said Darnall.
Darnall's been using this pillow at night for half a month. She said it's making a difference, but it's not a perfect night's sleep.
"The box makes it look bigger than what it is. It appears to be normal-sized," said Darnall.
Darnall even uses another flat pillow under the Sobakawa in order to get enough height and comfort for her neck. She's OK with this, but wants others to be aware of the small size.
Plus, here's something else not exactly making for sweet dreams.
"It doesn't stay cool as promised," said Darnall.
She was really looking forward to feeling that cooling effect while she slept. Overall though, Darnall thinks this pillow could turn her cat naps into deep sleep at night.
"I always have had trouble sleeping at night. I sleep three to four hours, then cat nap until it's time to get up. This pillow has helped," said Darnall.
For $20, Darnall says she likes it enough to also buy one for her husband.
"I think it's a good pillow people should buy. I think I'll give it a 'B-,'" said Darnall.
The Sobakawa Cloud Pillow rests comfortably, earning a 'B-' on this Does It Work test. If you're interested, you can find it at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Found in the back of a non beer lover's fridge. Not sure how long its been there but this beer hasn't been reviewed in a couple years.
Light amber color with tight lacing that fizzles to a faint ring within seconds.
Smell is of corn syrup, hints of oxidation.
Taste is pleasant but some fusels which are terrible for a beer with this low of an ABV
Mouthfeel is chewy and a bit hot.
I would have liked to have try this beer fresh.

This beer is now called Winterfestival. It is presumably the same beer, with the same label and abv and everything. It is not a Kolsch, but rather a German spiced winter lager which doesn't really have a style here on BA. This was a new arrival at a local store and I presumed it was fresh in, but I wonder if this beer could possibly be a year old: there's a fair amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle and it doesn't taste particularly fresh. However, it doesn't taste bad either. It pours a cider orange-brown with decent head and lacing. The nose is appealing, with traces of honey, cinnamon, wheat, vanilla, wax, and apples. The beer is similarly tasty, with light tangy hops and spices that are so delicate they can be overlooked. On the whole, the beer is reminiscent of Christmas candies, but is also a hearty unfiltered lager. Perhaps it could be classified as a kellerbier? The beer doesn't have an abundance of flavor, and the hops are muted, but on the whole I liked it very much and will highly recommend it to lager-lovers who are looking for something different.

Pours a hazed over golden brew.
Smell is sweet and grainy with a grass scent and biscuit aroma. Later on a scent I can only describe as play dough comes up.
Taste is sweet burnt sugar and fruity grain with a bitter hop flavor.
Mouthfeel is OK.
An OK beer from an OK brewery.

I think this nis the same beer..says Winterfestival on the label..suppose it is the English version..label looks the same otherwise.
Bought in the euro-style pint bottle, nice shiny/sparkly label.
Quite an unusual appearance, its almost murky like a hefe weissen, slightly darker gold though with a pure white head.
Smell is mostly quite malty for a German beer, with some linger spicy tones.
Very malty taste again and balanced by peppery spiciness, some hops evident at the end.
Exceptionally smooth on the palate.
Nice easy drinking winter beer..
I am not sure this is a Kolsch..

I had trouble finding this review thread until I figured out that winterfestival is most likely Weihnachtsbier, I must have the dumbed down for english folk version. Poured almost juice like. Appearance is like a cider color and texture. Little haze on top and no lacing. Smells of cinnamon, spices, light fruitiness and a little malt backbone. The taste is the best part of this brew which saves it. floral spiced up kick in the butt w/ a little fine sizzle. the fruits come through more as it warms a bit.
Not alot of uuumph in this one but it is a nice after dinner beer, sweet, and easy drinking with a little kicker.

Another great Value for Money beer from Germany. Allgäuer Winterfestival, or Weihnachtsbier to give it its proper name, comes in a 500ml brown bottle with a silver reflective edged label. It has a picture of what looks like a Stately home lit up at night set amongst snow covered grounds, which has very a Xmas feeling about it.
The beer pours a very clear, light straw color, with a reasonable white frothy head comprised of some large bubbles. Unfortunately, this quickly dissipates into a thin covering that spoils the appearance a little. Some lace resides on the glass walls as the head collapses. Carbonation levels within the beer are good.
Aromas, well I have to be totally honest here, as I always am, and say that as soon as I poured this beer the smell reminded me of real Shandy that my Dad used to make from 50% Becks Lager and 50% White Lemonade Soda when I was a young child as a treat at Xmas. That is to say that it has a very beery smell with a sweetness that makes it somewhat appealing to the masses. On inhalation the aromas are of honey, grapes, malt and lager.
The taste starts with sweet honey introduction mixed with some very light roasted malt. A very fruity introduction, that is quite pleasant on the palate. Mouthfeel is average, and fine for a beer that is after all only 5.5% ABV. Quite more-ish actually. Aftertaste is short, with a mild sweetness left on the tongue that enhances the beer, and is a contributory factor to its high quaffability. Very refreshing, mildly sweet but tasty. A very clean drinking beer, and for only $2.50, a bargain.
I will get some more of this for when the weather warms up.
I know, how crazy will it be to drink a Winterfestival beer in the Summer!?!.
Well I dont care, for me; this is when this beer would be at its best I think.

In English, simply called Winterfestival. Curiously catagorized as a Kolsch maybe more of a (light) winter lager(?) though. In fact this comes from Allgäuer Brauhaus AG which is in Bavaria very close to the borders of Austria and Leichtenstein, so technically, I don't think it can be a Kolsch. Enough technicalities. Interesting beer. Clear gold, thinly layered head. A multi-grain bread doughy sweet aroma greets the nose along with a spicey hop scent. Taste is unique, starting out malty and a tad sweet then shifting to spicy, peppery hops that send a tingle up the nostrils. Some fruity notes are detected mid-way. Incredible balance throughout with a prickly hop finish. Crisp carbonation. Another light colored German beer packed with interesting flavors.

Labeled as Winterfestbier
Quite a bit paler than one expects in a typical Winter seasonal, the beer is a brilliantly clear, full gold color when held up to the light, but does take on some amber overtones as it sits on the table. The head starts out about two-fingers thick and is a frothy mix of pale, off-white colored foam. The aroma smells lightly of hops and mostly of malt. Aromatic components of hay, green grass, honey, fresh crushed pale malt, soda crackers, touches of lemon zest and a hint of herbal notes. Really the aroma smells like a more malty, slightly less hoppy version of a German Pils.
The taste is perhaps a bit fuller, and a touch sweeter than a typical, dry, German Pils, but it is not as malty as a Bohemian version would be. Perhaps I would characterize this as a slightly bigger version of a Helles. Malt flavors of honey, grass, biscuits, soda crackers and an almost, lightly caramelized malt sweetness are balanced by a noticeable hop contribution of mint, hints of lemon zest, a slightly astringent herbal note (especially in the finish), hay, and a light yet persistent bitterness.
This is actually a decent beer, I am a bit disappointed that this was not something darker & maltier, but this is a tasty beer. It has a really nice clean character to it; allowing the simple malt & hop components to come through quite well.

Snatched this up at Hi-Times from their unbeliebably-vast selection of German beers I've never even heard of (says more about me than Hi-Times perhaps). This beer is listed here as a kolsch, but I'm not sure about that...anyway, poured a hazy, dirty golden copper with a creamy, light khaki head. Excellent lacing. Cool label too (hologram edging). Smells of light caramel-dusted malt, sweet cooked veggies, and hints of baking spices. I'm serious--baking spices. Tastes starts out with sweetish fruity malts, tempered with a cooked vegetable bitterness. Traces of spice, I want to say gingerbread, and a slight cardboard twang are also present. Medium-bodied. Mouthfeel is a tad watery thanks to weak carbonation. Finish is bittersweet. Overall, a nice winter lager, that I would love to try fresh.

Faintly cloudy ripe apricot with the barest blush of red. The small, dark ivory cap is dense, but is too soft to have much character or to leave much lace. On the good side, it does persist for a bit and the color looks good against the color of the beer.
Winterfestival smells herbal and fruity and very lightly musky. There's nothing in the nose to get overly excited about. If the flavor profile doesn't take a different tack, this will be an average experience at best.
No big surprises on the palate; barely toasted malt leads the way. The beer is sweet, tangy and bitter (in descending order) and is relatively subtle with regard to each. Politely spicy makes an appearance when the contents of the bottom of the bottle are added to the glass. Contrary to what I said above, the somewhat blurry focus of this beer seems to be hops.
The finish is clean, mildly bitter and dry; and the body/mouthfeel could fairly be considered light-medium for the Kolsch style. It's apparent that there's a fair amount of carbonation in each mouthful, but it's buried deep within the beer and doesn't annoy.
Allgauer Winterfestival (I must have the import version) is solid and dependable, but ultimately unexciting. It does nothing wrong, but neither does it break out and impress its drinker with any hidden charms. Even though I'll have no trouble finishing the bottle, and enjoying it, I won't be looking to grab another one any time soon. A Kolsch seems more of a summer beer to me. Odd that the brewers picked this style to celebrate the Winter season.

Pretty label, all fancy, glittering iridescentdesigns in the logo, and the borders...oooo, shiny! But, how about what's inside?
Hazy, light peachy coloration, sufficient, yet slim, foam cap.
Aroma, a little sour at first, largely citric, funky orange, loads of yeast...not at all what I'd expect from a German beer...especially one labeled a "kolsch", at least here...deep and earthy...
Taste: smooth, tasty, rife with pulpy fruit sensations, slides effortlessly off the tongue, leaves only slight traces. An unusual choice for a winter seasonal, and not at all a kolsch, I'll just skip speculating on category, and call it as I drink it. A welcoming brew on the palate, on the lips, down the throat, very light, but not insubstantial, hangs handily along the palate, light as a sprite, but with considerable character.
This particular brew defies category...better suited among wheat beers, but possesses a certain fruity/spicy feeling that goes beyond most of them. a joy to drink down.

Over the last 42 weeks, Newsline 9 has profiled 47 high school athletes, each with a unique story to tell.
From the slopes, to the gymnasium. From the pool to the new Wausau Curling Center, some excelled in multiple sports, staying busy in fall, winter and spring.
Everyone excelled in the classroom. Every athlete's goal was to make it to state, to prove they can compete with the best in Wisconsin.
There were three from Amherst, a school that won a state title in football and made the state semifinals in basketball.
We saw basketball players reach the 1000-point mark, a softball player pitch a no-hitter, a long jumper who broke a 38-year old conference record, and a wrestler who become his school's first 4-time conference champ.
In football, three running backs became Athletes of the week, some have overcome injuries to get back on track.
We've seen pairs of best friends make each other better on the mat and on the field and family affairs like the Oja Brothers from Wausau West and the trio of Bros from Assumption.
Plenty of senior leaders rose to the occasion, while underclassmen showed a promising future ahead.
There were those that led by scoring baskets like Jared Gjertson or scored numerous goals in one game like Mary Sigler.
Some have been in the sport their entire lives, while others have been playing for only a few years.
While every athlete has a different story, they all had the honor of being Newsline 9's Athlete of the Week.

If you're the type of metal maniac who demands that certain criteria be met before committing to rocking your brains out, this is probably not the album for you. For all their plentiful volume, Sunn 0))) strip away many of the basic elements of metal over the past 30 years, such as speed, flashy musicianship and, oh yeah, drums. While scorched-earth assault artists such as Khanate move at an average tempo comparable to George Romero's zombies (they want to bleed you–slow!), they stick to structureds not too different than the blues artists of yesteryear. Sunn 0))) go another step beyond–"Black One" suggests what Phillip Glass might sound like if he sacrificed his soul to Lord Belial and vowed to destroy all in his path. The compositions here–you can't really call them "songs"–move at a pace that is quite literally glacial. This is the sound of hell freezing over, and it sure ain't pretty.
A few hipster indie-rockers such as Sleater-Kinney and the White Stripes get some attention for not using a bass guitar, but for musical purity of purpose they can't match Sunn 0))). Their sound is all about the bass, to the extent that it'll make even the toughest moshers need asbestos diapers. Heck, they sound like Godzilla just sat on your face and let a big one rip. "Cry of the Weeper" includes about a second of trebly feedback toward the beginning, but this quickly resolves into the type of sound made by the alien tripods in Spielberg's "War of the Worlds"–only way nastier. One thing you won't find on "Black One" is drums. What rhythm there is comes from one distorted chord slowly giving way to the next. The tracks don't move so much as they decompose. Only two of them clock in under 10 minutes, so the effect is something like being buried alive. Actually, that's kind of what happened to guest vocalist Malefic for the soul-crushing closer "Bathory Erzsebet"–he was allegedely recorded from inside a coffin! That's what you call commitment to your art.
In some spots, "Black One" may be closer to dark ambient than metal. Fans of Lustmord might want to check this out, although even they may not be prepared for the sheer volume of this monster. While some black metalers have dabbled in the dark ambient genre, that kind of thing is a more peaceful kind of death. "Black One" is the kind of death that hurts–a lot. Still, I can't help myself from enduring it.

Pair burn hands in Cholesbury cooker fire
2:24pm Saturday 16th February 2013 in News By Lawrence Dunhill
TWO people were treated for burns to their hands after a cooker fire in Cholesbury this morning.
Firefighters from Chesham were called to the property in Shire Lane, near the Bucks and Hertforshire border, at 11.59am.
The fire was out when they arrived but they ventilated the area and carried out safety checks while paramedics treated a man and a woman for burns and smoke inhalation.

A train derailed this morning after it hit the trailer of a truck that was stopped on the tracks.
Cass County Sheriff Randy Pryor said his department was called just after 9 a..m. to the Norfolk-Southern Railroad tracks where the engines on a freight train derailed after hitting a semitrailer stopped on the tracks at 175 West and Ind.25. Pryor said the train dragged the trailer about 100 feet, and the four engine cars derailed about 2,000 feet from the intersection.
There were no injuries.
Pryor said the driver, 47-year-old David Jones of Indianapolis, told investigators he did not see the train coming.
Pryor said he believed the train was coming from Lafayette and had about 50 cars carrying carrying grain, fuel and ethanol.
A section of Ind. 25 was closed because police were concerned that the front part of the train, which is sitting on a section of the rail that had bowed out, could be a danger to the roadway.
Pryor said the two-mile stretch of Ind. 25 would be closed until at least 4 p.m. Police are redirecting traffic along 300 South and U.S. 24. The Logansport State Hospital is still accessible.
The Cass County Sheriff's Department, Indiana State Police, state highway personnel, Rural Metro and Logansport and Clymers fire departments responded to the scene.

For most of us that saw the International Space Station fly over this evening, it looked like a large moving star.
Dale Fulghum of Woodbury, TN has some pretty fancy telescope equipment, and took this picture.
It has to be motorized to follow the object as the picture is taken.
I'll let him explain in his words:
I saw the news that the ISS was going to be visible and boy was it ever ! I took the attached picture with a "Celestron EQ 127 Telescope with 7" mirror attachment and my Olympus EPL1 camera that had a 500x lunimal lens on side mount. Telescope has a killer fast motor but not near fast enough. Shutter speed was obviously below par but considering it lives at 250 miles up and scoots along at 18,500 mph to keep from falling out of the sky, I think it a pretty amazing job for a Paramedic. Thanks a lot if you guys put it up on the news, my little boy gets a kick out of it. Thanks again for all you guys do. News 2 rocks !
OK Dale, we will show it on the 10pm news tonight (Tuesday)!
There will be passes for the next few nights, though not quite as high in the sky.
To find times and direction to look go to:
click "flybys" in the header and type your zip code
Or: www.heavens-above.com
choose your city or provide exact latitude and longitude
The exact time and position are affected by the observer's exact location, but it will be visible over a very wide area. Now, all we need are clear skies.
