Texas OH Hold Mebysweetsegi©
The air swirled around my legs as I walked to the door. A slight chill settled over my heated body, but as I thought about you, it didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was spending tonight with you. I lift my hand and knock on the door and try to patiently wait for you to open it. I turn my body away from the door in my impatient nature and look out off the porch. It was the first time in the evening I noticed it was snowing and it startled me a bit. I was deeper in my own thoughts than I realized. Chuckling, I hear the door click and swing open. Before I can stop it, my mouth curves up into a sweet smile making my eyes twinkle and my dimples appear.
I glance over my shoulder at you as you step outside, pulling the door closed behind you. Slipping your arms around me from behind you kiss my neck, sending a shiver of excitement through my body. Your warmth pulls me in and I sink back into you. Cuddling with me, we watch, for just a few moments, the snow swirl around. Just enjoying the moment of contentment that sweeps over me as we stand wrapped around each other. I turn in your arms and kiss your neck, snuggling as close as I can get. I whisper into your neck that I want you. Leaning back I look up into your eyes and smile. The only thing I see in return is the same want, reflected in your eyes.
I watch as you step back from me. A slide of your hands down my arms brings out another shiver. Intertwining our fingers, I allow you to pull me towards the door and into the cabin. The lights have been turned off and replaced with soft candle light. I giggle a little and ask if you are trying to seduce me. Your laugh warms my whole body. You say you aren't but even if you were trying, it wouldn't be hard. Before I could ponder what you mean, your fingers slip from mine and you sink to the floor next to the coffee table. I can't help but cock my head to the side as I wonder what you are up to.
You gesture to the side of the coffee table, sitting to your right. Slipping off my coat, I lay it across the arm of a chair and bend to unzip my boots. I glance around the room and notice you built a fire. My mind goes wild remembering a similar fire place that repeatedly turns me on. The only sounds filling the air was the crackling of the fire and the sound of a zipper being undone. I can feel your eyes follow my hand down my calf, but I don't look up. It unnerves me a little to be watched doing something so casual as remove my boot, however, I don't let it affect me physically. I take both off and set them neatly next to the chair holding my coat.
The outfit I chose isn't perfect for sitting on the floor, but it will work if I sit with my knees to the side. I decided to dress in a black knee length skirt, snug against my hips and thighs before flaring out slightly before my knees. The skirt allowed lots of movement, but tapered perfectly to fight my body. A silky black button up shirt completes my ensemble. My hair was up in a sweet up do, allowing tendrils of my curls to fall down around my face and neck.
Finally, looking at you I smile as I sink to my knees. I ask what we are doing sitting at the coffee table, but you don't answer. I watch as you reach underneath the table and pull out a stack of cards. My sweet smile turns into a huge grin. I am great at cards and I know we both enjoying play against each other. You announce the game is Texas Hold'em before reaching down to pick up two stack of poker chips. It was a lot of chips, but it is a great way to make it fair. Each of us take the time to fix our piles of poker chips. Mine very neat and organized by color, all the same height. Yours kind of just thrown together. I shake my head at the mess and push out the want to fix it. I announce I am ready and I watch as your strong hands shuffle the cards. The way you handle the cards makes wetness pool between my legs and it shocks me. Not once in my life have I gotten turned on by someone shuffling and dealing cards.
It takes all my strength to force my concentration on the cards before me. I glance down at my cards, shielding them from you. Just as I am reading the cards, one word from your mouth stops everything. My concentration. My breath. Reading my cards. "Sarah." You whisper it. In the perfect way that you do. Softly and sensually. A whisper that tells me you want me as much as I want you.
I bite my bottom lip and slide my eyes across the table to your hands. Following a path up your arm I look at your face. Watching as your tongue darts out of your mouth, wetting your lips. Then up to your eyes. Your eyes are dark with lust and try as I might I can't stop the moan that slips from my lips. I whisper I thought we were going to play cards. You lean closer to me and ask me in a whisper if I want to play cards. My eyes dart back to your lips and I can think of at least twenty different things I would rather being doing with you. I whisper how I want to kiss you and our eyes collide again.
Your hand drops the cards you are holding. Slowly you push my curls behind my ear, placing your hand on my neck. Your thumb caresses the skin of my cheek as you lean forward and ever so gently touch your lips to mine. The sweetness of the kiss threatens to overwhelm me. My eyes close and I enjoy the touch of your lips to mine. Firmness against yielding. Strength against soft. All the tension I had in my body slips out quickly. Lust and longing replaces it. "Sarah" you whisper as your lips brush mine. You pull back slightly and brush your knuckles down my cheek. You tell me I taste so sweet. I lean forward and kiss you more deeply. I feel your body shake with a chuckle as you kiss me back, with more passion than I thought I could handle. I already was on thin ice when it came to holding my want in check.
I whimper slightly as you pull back completely. I stare at you stunned and watch as you casually pick up your cards. You cock your eyebrow and look at me, ask sweetly if I am ready. Frustrated, I answer quickly yes and look at my cards. A king-queen suited, hearts. Smugly I know there is a huge chance I will get a straight, which isn't really high on the list of hands but it isn't bad. It is my turn to put the minimum bet so I toss in the white chip, one hundred. I cock my eyebrow at you as you toss in a blue chip, five hundred. I decide to see your bet and raise another five hundred. The corner of your lip curls up into a smirk as you throw in a blue chip. Feisty you call me as you discard the first three cards. Turning the flop over, reveals an eight of spade, a jack of spades and an ace of clubs.
My excitement grows. I only need a ten for a straight. I figure that I should make a high bet and put in fifteen hundred. I put on my best poker face and look at you. Watching to see what you do. Oh so casually you toss in the chips. The turn reveals another jack, this time clubs, and I inwardly cringe. I already bet fifteen hundred last round. If I don't go higher, there is a chance you will know I don't have what card I need. Two thousand. Not a huge up in my bet, but still an up.
I look up at you and smile. What are you going to do baby? I whisper in a seductive voice. If I distract you maybe you won't realize. You returns my smile with one of you own and raises me another thousand. I call as my mind starts thinking of those lips elsewhere on my body. You turn the river. My ten. I am so excited I almost lose my cool. I toss in five thousand and give you a sexy look. You puts in the amount and I reach for my cards.
The shock of your strong hand covering mind shakes my whole body. I glance down at it and then up to your face. I know my eyes questioned why you stopped me, because you began to talk. "I want to make this a bit more interesting Sarah."
I cock my head to the side and say oh yeah...how?
You chuckled and take my hand in yours. Your thumb starts caressing the palm of my hand and my wrist. "If I win, I want you to slip on this table and let me eat your pussy. I have been dying to taste you since I opened the door." My pussy clenches as you say that. My throat goes dry and I shiver with want.
And if I win?
"We do what you want all night. Anything you want." You arch an eyebrow as you look at me, waiting for my answer.
"Anything baby." Your thumb is still caressing my skin.
I look down as I ponder this proposition. In all reality it seems like a great proposition. Either way I win. Either by you doing what I want all night or having you lick and suck my pussy, hopefully taking away the ache that you caused. Alright. I accept the proposition.
A brilliant smile graces your face as you gesture to me to turn my cards over. I flip them proudly, knowing there are only a few things that can beat my straight. "Very nice baby. A straight!" You lean over and kiss me gently. As you lean back, you flip your cards. I am stunned speechless. Your hand is jacks, diamond and hearts, a Full House, making your hand the winner. Which makes you the winner of the bet as well. I quickly look up at you and your smile has gotten bigger. "Time to taste your pussy Sarah." I open my mouth and close it. "Come here." You are already pulling me towards you.
Perching me on the edge of the coffee table with my feet on either side of your thighs, your thumb runs gently across my thigh. The contact and friction makes me moan softly. "Oh Sarah." Another whisper that sends a shiver through my body. Your hands on my thighs slowly push up my skirt, revealing a pair of black silk panties. Your fingertips brush the inside of my thigh causing me to part them further for you. My eyes close and I lean back slightly. Mentally I try to make you touch me and physically my body reacts to that. Pushing my hips towards you. Spreading my legs more. My breath quickens and you have barely touched me. Please I whisper so softly. I open my eyes and look at you. My please has the desired affect on you because your fingertip comes in contact with my clit. Even through my panties it's intense. Having you touch me. A deep moan escapes my lips and my head falls back. You increase the pressure as your lips slide up my thigh.
"You like this don't you Sarah? Like it when I do this?" You flick my clit and make me gasp yes. Your tongue darts under the edge of my panties, teasing me. Yes I whisper again as your mouth replaces your finger. I can feel your tongue sliding across my swollen clit. Just enough sensation to make me want more. I open my eyes and look down my body to your head between my legs. The image of that sends a fresh wave of wetness to my pussy. "Yes baby, get soaked for me." You suck on my clit and I cry out. My hand slips through your hair keeping you there. Lifting my hips I push myself against your mouth, trying for more, wanting more. Humming against my clit, I feel your finger slide underneath my panties and into my pussy.
I moan your name as your finger slides in. I clench around your finger and lean back completely on the coffee table. Slowly you begin teasing me with your finger and your tongue. First flicking your tongue across my cloth covered clit before fucking me with your finger, then sucking on my clit. Never at the same time. You start building me up. Increasing the pressure of your tongue, the stroke of your finger, the quickness in which you switch between the three. It doesn't take long before I am panting and begging you to make me come. "You want to come Sarah? You want to come on my face?"
I moan yes and look down my body to you again. As you were teasing me, my hands had started squeezing my breasts on their own. My nipples were hard against my bra and each caress of my hand teased them more. Smiling up at me, you remove your finger. My mouth drops open to protest, but your hands slide up my hips, gripping my panties. With a quick tug, you have them off my body completely. I can't help but smile as you give me a sexy smirk and slide your finger back into me. You remove it again and put it to my lips. "Taste your sweet pussy Sarah. Do you like how you taste?" I lick your finger and suck on it. You know doing this turns me on beyond compare, but I answer anyway. Yes I like how I taste. Taste me! Oh please taste me I whisper.
You slide two fingers into my pussy and stretch me more. The sensation is perfect and makes me rock my hips against your fingers. You cease your movements, but I continue to rock against your fingers. "That's right baby...fuck yourself with my fingers." Your tongue collides with my clit after you say that. I moan as the intensity washes over my body. My pussy clenches around your fingers, this time with such urgency. I need release. You have built me up so much. You suck on my clit and it sends me over. Thrusting against your fingers and mouth I come hard. I scream your name as I ride it. Your tongue still twirling around my clit. Your fingers beginning to thrust into me again, hard. My thighs quivering.
I shiver as I slowly relax again. You remove your fingers from my pussy and tell me to look at you. Your mouth closes around them and you clean all my juices from your fingers. Just watching you enjoy it turns me on so much more. I ask if you like the taste of me as I feel you push your fingers in for another taste. "Yes baby I do. So very much." You whisper before cleaning your fingers a second time.
Placing a kiss on my thigh, you shift and get up on your knees. I try to sit up but you push me back down. Shaking your head, you pull off your shirt, looking into my eyes. Our eyes stayed locked as you unzip your pants. My mouth waters as I picture you taking your cock out of your pants. I long to suck on it, but I can see in your eyes you have other plans for tonight. Your hand caresses my thigh. "Do you want my cock in you Sarah? Do you want to feel me in you?"
Mmhmm I say as I bite my bottom lip. You smile down at me and start unbuttoning my shirt. I look up at you then watch as each button pops out of it's hole. The silkiness of the shirt caresses my skin as you pull it back. "Sarah." You growl as you look down at me. Our eyes collide again. You bend down and suck on my nipple through my bra. The same teasing you did to my clit. Your other hand slides up my stomach slowly caress before it closes over my other breast. You bite me through my bra as you pinch my other nipple. I gasp and squirm against you. That only heightened my want for you, since in my squirming your cock slid against my thigh. "Do you like that Sarah?" Yes I moan and arch my back, pushing my breasts into you more.
I wrap my legs around you, bringing you closer to me. Your cock comes in full contact with my pussy and we both groan. Your eyes close for just a moment before you look at me. Your lips collide with mine in a savage hard kiss that makes me dizzy with want. Please! I need you. I whisper against your lips. You reach down between us and rub your cock down my slit. "Is this what you need Sarah? Do you need my cock baby?" Yes I moan and try to push against you, only to be rewarded with more teasing. "Tell me," you say gently. When I say nothing, you growl, "Tell me Sarah!" The authority in your voice makes me answer. Yes I need your cock. I need you to fuck me. I need you to fuck my little cunt. I watch your eyes flare as I say that last thing and a growl escape from your lips just a second before you slam into my pussy.
All pretenses of teasing me gone with just that statement. The jar of you slamming into me has my breasts bounce in my bra, making me gasp. The poker chips I so carefully laid out come crashing down. Clanking against the wood of the table and off onto the wood floors. Yes...fuck my little cunt like that. You know you like fucking me like this. I close my eyes and bite my lip. I can already feel my pussy aching for release. Determined to last, I slide my hands up my own body. Your hands grip my hips as you pull me against you with each thrust. My hands close over my breasts, my hard nipples tickling my palms.
I look up at you and see you watching my hands squeeze my breasts. Do you like watching me pleasure myself? You shake your head and bite your lip in concentration. I can feel you tensing and my body responds before I can tell it no. Oh I love how you fuck my cunt. You slam into me harder. Hard enough to scoot the coffee table a few inches. I sit up. The change in position almost makes both of us come, but your lips collide with mine passionately as we squelch the need. My arms wrap around you like my legs are and I hold onto you.
Without stopping you take pick me up and start slamming me onto your cock. My thighs are quivering. My breath ragged. My pussy aching around your throbbing cock. "Come on my cock Sarah. Come for me." I moan deeply as I come around your cock, making you groan "Sarah "and come in my pussy. My pussy clenches around you, milking you as you continue to push me on your cock. Slowly, you stop pushing me on your cock and kiss my lips. "Sarah." You whisper in between kisses. What's next? I ask sweetly. Sexual Favor Monopoly? Chuckling you set me on the table and kiss me passionately. "Only if you want to."

Book 4
Last update: Thursday 01 January 1970
Chapters 31-40
Chapter 31: Embroidering
Dongfang Unbeatable threw himself by the side of Yang Lianting. He picked him up and put him on the bed gently. Taking off his shoes and socks, then pulling the blanket over him, he behaved like a wife taking care of her husband.
Chapter 32: Merger
The peak of Mount Songshan stood alone in the middle, thrusting towards the sky and looking down upon thousands of other peaks. With few clouds in the sky, sunshine shined through the pure and fresh air. Cheng-Gao and Yumen stood to the north; the Yellow River looked like a thin line; the city wall of Luo Yang could be vaguely seen to the west; range upon range of mountains were to the east and south.
Chapter 33: Sword Fight
"Ring," the two sword tips hit each other in mid-air. Sparks flew in all direction, and the two swords both bent into arches. The two both pushed out with their left hands, and then jumped back when the two hands met.
Chapter 34: Champion
Zuo Lengchan slowly raised his sword and pointed the sword at Yue Buqun's chest. Yu Buqun crossed his arms in sleeves behind his back and gazed at the sword tip without a blink. Zuo Lengchan's right sleeve started filling up just like a sail starting to gain wind.
Chapter 35: Revenge
Moonlight poured on the wide and straight road like a stream. Light fog and mist shrouded the trees by the road. Sweet smell from wild flowers was heavy for a moment and then light for the next. Small breeze stroked people's face. Linghu Chong hadn't had any wine for a long time, but now he felt a bit tipsy like he just had some.
Chapter 36: Grief
Several small shoot had already grown out from Yue Lingshan's grave. Linghu Chong thought, "There are shoots already at little apprentice sister's grave now. How is she inside the grave?" Suddenly, sound of bamboo flute came from behind his back.
Chapter 37: Forcing Marriage
The two figures in the reflection looked exactly the same, both had baggy lady's robes, even the hair bun were no different. It was an exact copy of him. Linghu Chong was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.
Chapter 38: Annihilation
Even though Zuo Lengchan was blind, he still had a quick reaction and jumped back rapidly while swearing streams of abuses. Yingying bent down and picked up a long sword.
Chapter 39: No Treaty
The earthshaking chanting of "Thousands of years, rule the Martial World" went on and on by cult members kneeling down. Sunshine covered Ren Woxing's face and his entire body. The majestic looking Chief of the Sun-Moon Cult looked like a god.
Chapter 40: Harmony
The slipcover for the chair was embroidered with nine golden dragons surrounding a rising son from the ocean. On the edges, it was studded with many pearls, diamonds, and gems.

DENVER (AP) - Parents looking for guidance on car-seat safety may get more than they bargained for when they call the Colorado State Patrol information line, which now apparently belongs to a phone sex company.
When parents call 1-877-LUV-TOTS, which is listed on numerous State Patrol publications and has been used by the department for years, they reach a recording advertising "America's hottest talk line."
Patrol spokesman Nate Reid told The Denver Post on Monday the department is fixing the problem. The number has since been taken off of the State Patrol website.
Reid told The Associated Press he didn't know if the phone sex company recently purchased the number, and he referred further questions to another spokesman, who did not immediately return a message left by the AP on Monday night.

'New Mangalore deep-draught berth achieves 91% occupancy'
Our Bureau
Mangalore, Jan. 27
Berth No. 14 of the New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) recorded 91 per cent occupancy after it was commissioned in 2006, according to Mr P. Tamilvanan, Chairman of NMPT.
Speaking at the inauguration of the residential complex of the Mercantile Marine Department (MMD) at NMPT, here, he said that the occupancy level of the deep-draught berth No. 14 is good.
Cargo handling
Built at a cost of Rs 44 crore, the berth has handled around 6.5 million tonnes of cargo till now.
At the end of March 2010, the port earned revenues of around Rs 118 crore from the berth, he said.
He added that berth No. 13 is under construction.
Six new railway lines have been commissioned in the port and three more lines are under process, he said.
Other cargo
Traffic at the port has decreased due to the ban on the export of iron ore cargo.
To compensate the shortfall, port officials have been making efforts to attract other cargo, he said.

Here is our latest sighting of a F30 335i sedan in alpine white, including some new interior looks. We analyze the interior and exterior. See inside for analysis.
We bring you what we believe are the most realistic F30 3-series sedan renders yet, based directly off the latest and most revealing F30 spy photos. The F30 sedan adopts BMW's current design language, with a sleeker sloping hood with more upright and widened kidney grilles placed below the hood line. The entire front fascia is more front leaning and shark-like. The F30 features double side character lines, as seen in the render. The side view mirrors will feature turn signals, like the just revealed … CONTINUED
It's usually the strange looking camouflaged prototype cars which get the attention in public, but that may not be the case here where one of our members in a Ferrari 458 caught an F30 3-series sedan prototype out testing in the canyons of Malibu, California.
Here are some new renders of the F30 3-series sedan, by German publication Auto Test. These are some of the more attractive renders we've seen and are clearly based off the F10 5-series, but with some attention to paid to previous F30 spy photos.
The rear 3/4 view is particular attractive. However, the renders are missing some new styling features revealed in the most recent F30 spy photos, such as the double character lines.
We continue bringing you what may appear to be live coverage of the various F30 3-series FEP test cars driving around the streets of Munich. This new set features in-action photos of a Carbon Black F30 and Alpine White F30. Enjoy the entire gallery inside, now 40+ photos.
We have added yet another set of BMW F30 3-series photos, with the best closeups available yet. This model is an Alpine White F30 325i/328i caught while parked, which provides us some great looks at certain camouflaged elements such as the headlights, grilles, front bumper, side view mirrors, and rear lights. Check out the new set of photos inside.
The F30 3-series FEP (final evaluation phase) stage sedans were out testing in force today! This is the third sighting we are bringing you photos from, and this time the F30 was spotted in Alpine White. Enjoy the photos!

Elsewhere, both Kentucky and Tennessee have medical marijuana bills under consideration although they have yet to gain traction. Kentucky Senate President Rover Stivers, R-Manchester, has said he's not convinced marijuana has legitimate medical purposes and called it an area ripe for abuse.
In Florida, it's likely to become a campaign issue in the fall given that Gov. Rick Scott is up for re-election and a proposed constitutional amendment will be on the ballot that would allow for the medical use of marijuana as determined by a licensed physician. Former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, now a Democrat seeking to challenge Scott, has called it "an issue of compassion, trusting doctors and trusting the people of Florida."
Meanwhile, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has signaled a willingness to discuss medicine that might be derived from marijuana with appropriate federal regulation.
"If someone wants to use the medicine that is in marijuana, go through the same testing that you have to go through when you do that through the (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), you go through all of that, do the testing, the drug testing, that's fine," Bentley said last month. "I have no problem with that. I am not just for prescribing marijuana."
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has declined to take a position, but noted the "strong case being presented by some of the families with very serious situations involving their children."
Dustin Chandler, a police officer in Pelham, Ala., has been a major part of the effort there. His daughter, 2-year-old Carly, has three to five seizures each day from a severe neurological condition she has had since infancy. Chandler believes cannabidiol could help control his daughter's seizures and improve her cognitive functioning based on anecdotal evidence seen elsewhere.
"We've been battling the stigma from the m-word," Chandler said. "I'd love to hear my daughter talk. I'd love to hear her say one word. You know that is something most parents take for granted."

Councils could face 'sanctions' for failing schemes
Updated 10:09am Friday 4th April 2014 in News By Rob Merrick, Parliamentary Correspondent
Town halls should be punished if their schemes to improve the behaviour of 'troubled families' flop, MPs say today.
Their report calls for 'sanctions' against councils that fail to change the lives of people with social problems ranging from poverty to low skills and bad housing.
It follows criticism that only three people in Bradford have found work through the scheme, which was started after the 2011 summer riots.
Latest figures show Bradford Council has started work with 1,255 of the 1,760 city families identified as 'troubled' – more than 71 per cent of them.
Of those, 543 have been classed as having had their lives turned around, but only three – just 0.6 per cent – found permanent work.
Across the district, only 23 of 1,339 families described as "turned around" now have someone in work – with none at all in Kirklees, only three in Calderdale and 17 in Leeds.
Now the Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has warned the scheme, announced by David Cameron himself, is on course to "miss its targets".
Across England, success has been chalked up in the lives of 22,000 families, leaving a further 98,000 to be turned around by May 2015.
And a parallel project, run by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), has put only four per cent of the expected number of people into jobs.
Margaret Hodge, the PAC's Labour chairman, condemned the "baffling decision" to run two separate programmes, leading to "confusion and unnecessary duplication".
And she said: "There have been big variations in performance, which put achieving the programmes' objectives at risk.
"The departments must ensure that performance in each local authority, and by each contractor, is scrutinised, giving appropriate support where appropriate – but also imposing sanctions where necessary."
The PAC report did not identify any worst offenders and its call for councils to face sanctions – for a Government scheme – is likely to be controversial.
Ministers have insisted the scheme is "on track" to meet the prime minister's pledge to transform the lives of 120,000 problem families by 2015.

A new District Council to be formed for Airedale & Wharfedale, separate from the city areas.
This has been advocated recently by Philip Davies MP and Kris Hopkins MP, a Minister at the DCLG.
Lets open up the debate, whilst the 90 councillors who sit in the City Hall in Bradford are unable to agree about council spending priorities.
This policy is also advocated by the UK Independence Party.

Being poor is not a crime and if it is then those creating the conditions where poverty becomes widespread should be the ones behind bars. Not that there isn't enough evidence to see most of them locked up already.
The Council will be broke in a week. 'Troubled' just means **** nuisance, they should be locked up and deported. Socialists are always soft on their own kind

I come from a long line of Broncos fans. The majority of my family members think John Elway is the person who has had the single-greatest impact on their lives. As a little boy, I would go to my grandma's house every Sunday and sit by her side as she cheered on the "Donkeys."
I think I became a Raiders fan simply to antagonize my grandma. I can still hear her words today: "Don't cheer for the Raiders, you stinker!" I didn't heed her words and rejoiced at any triumph over the Broncos.
I started cheering for the Raiders in earnest during the abysmal 1997 season at the helm of Joe Bugel. I was too young to understand why the Raiders were not winning, but (like a true Raider) I was old enough to appreciate greatness. My favorite players were Tim Brown and Napoleon Kaufman. Brown led the league with 104 receptions, while Kaufman averaged nearly five yards per carry while accumulating 1,294 yards rushing for the campaign.
Stuck in rebuilding mode and faced with another difficult season, I have been trying to keep my sanity through reminiscence. I have been watching a lot of old Raiders videos. Bringing back all of these great memories has made me reflect on my all-time favorite Raiders. They are as follows:
1. Tim Brown - the best receiver in history, his omission from the Hall is simply a crime
2. Rich Gannon - I will never forget when he set the consecutive completions record against the Broncos on MNF, leading the Raiders to a 34-10 victory, snapping their four-game losing streak on the way to the Super Bowl
3. Sebastian Janikowski - he has been a Raider and one of the best in the league for the vast majority of my formidable years
4. Charles Woodson - would probably be #2 had he remained a Raider, I knew when the Raiders drafted him after the 1997 season that we were in for better days
5. Steve Wisniewski - before I knew what it meant to be a Pro Bowler, I knew Wisniewski was a Pro Bowler
6. Shane Lechler - I went to see the Raiders play at Arrowhead Stadium and was blown away by the immensity of his punts; watching him warm-up was almost worth the ticket alone
7. Greg Biekert - the Raiders have never really been able to replace his consistency at MLB
8. Darren McFadden - I know he has his issues, but the two years he had playing for Hue Jackson made me truly appreciate the talent he has as a complete back; I only hope he stays healthy and rebounds
9. Lincoln Kennedy - A massive, steady anchor on an outstanding offensive line
10. Jon Ritchie - I just loved what this guy brought to the table and the attitude with which he brought it

Directions: 736 Mission Street, between 3rd and 4th Streets.
From the very first chapters of the Torah where one encounters them in the Garden of Eden, to the commandment Bal Tashchit (do not destroy) found in Deuteronomy forbidding their wanton destruction during wartime, trees occupy a particularly potent and symbolic place in Jewish literature and lore as expressions of paradise, regeneration, shelter, the bounty of the earth, longevity, and even as a precursor to the coming of the Messiah. A new three-part exhibition at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Do Not Destroy: Trees, Art, and Jewish Thought, explores the role of the tree in Jewish tradition and beyond through the lens of contemporary artists, offering fresh perspectives on ritual practice and our connection to the natural world. The companion exhibitions include the continuation of The Dorothy Saxe Invitational, an exhibition series in which artists from diverse backgrounds and working in a range of media are invited to explore Jewish ritual objects (this year focusing on the holiday of Tu B'Shevat, the New Year for the Trees, and featuring artists such as Harriete Estel Berman, Yves Behar, Tucker Nichols, Lawrence Weiner, and Ursula von Rydingsvard), as well as a selection of work examining the tree more widely in contemporary art practice by international artists including Gabriela Albergaria, Zadok Ben David, Joseph Beuys, April Gornik, Charles Labelle, Rodney Graham, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, Yoko Ono, Roxy Paine, Tal Shochat and more. The third component is the expansion of the exhibition beyond the walls of the Museum on to the Jessie Square Plaza with a commission by local environmental design firm Rebar.

Hi, i started to use this example because it already deal with Sockets, but just saw that this example was meant to be a DLL, just before i figure it out, i made it work with my programm on the emulator, just an import of the Header on my own object and the apropiate calls, then i tried in the phone, but my surprise was that it didn't work, i found that it connect to the server ip i set, but fail on write over the socket, not exactly the iSocket instance on the engine but a method before, on the Writer object, the Write Method, it is a pointer it use to call the method who really do the write action, but it terminate the application just in the starting proccess.
if i comment that line it works nice on the phone, but obviusly it doesn't send anything
My question is, if that Example was made to be a DLL how can i use it?, is there another way to use Sockets without an ActiveObject? so i can write on my Class the apropiate methods to connect, disconnect and write to a socket?, thank you

Any taxi can get you from point A to point B. But the Water Taxi makes it interesting in a way no land vehicle can, affording unique views of Birch State Park's natural landscapes and the bustling Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk along the way. The destinations tend to be equally scenic. As it travels throughout Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, the Water Taxi makes 19 stops at places ranging from beautiful beaches to acclaimed restaurants.
Hitting them all is easy with hop-on, hop-off service, which makes it convenient for waterfront residents and visitors to get around. Riders can pick up tickets on board, online, or at several area hotels. In addition to the regular schedule, captains guide Water Taxi's vessels for private chartered voyages, such as moonlight cruises and scavenger hunts.
The SoBe Shuttle provides an easy way to get around in South Florida with hourly shuttles that run four days a week between Fort Lauderdale and Miami or South Beach. Evening shuttles are available Thursday–Sunday, with return trips leaving South Beach as late as 5 a.m. On Saturday and Sunday, daytime shuttles carry passengers to and from Miami's famous white-sand beaches. Each WiFi-equipped shuttle is chauffeured by an experienced driver and contains a television set and refrigerator, perfect for storing leftovers or teaching a goldfish about winter.
From morning through evening, passengers motor to nine sightseeing hotspots on Water Taxi Miami's aquatic coaches. Watercrafts ferry riders to and from ports such as Miami Beach Marina—from which they can access South of Fifth shopping and dining—and Finnegan's River, a sports bar where patrons can stop in for an evening drink or gaze at views of the Miami skyline. Kids ages 3 and younger ride the environmentally friendly taxis for free, and discounted tickets and saying "please" in song facilitate passage for youngsters 12 and younger.
The Biscayne Xpress Water Taxi glides across Biscayne Bay, circling through its three stops—Bayside Marketplace, the Miami Beach Marina, and the downtown Riverwalk station—in a constant two-hour loop. Up to 42 passengers drink in views of coastal Miami and its gamboling manatees and pelicans as crew members impart juicy factoids about the city to visitors. At the Bayside Marketplace stop, patrons can browse a 120-store shopping complex or charter a fishing boat at Pier 5, whereas the Miami Beach Arena stop drops seafarers near a glut of restaurants, and the downtown Riverwalk station delivers visitors straight into the city's rhythmically beating heart.

DOVER, Del. - Police have identified the two suspects in the manhunt that began Wednesday night in Dover.
As we reported Wednesday night, police say they responded to a report of gunshots fired on the 200 block of Sheldrake Circle in the Cannon Mills Development around 8:50 PM on Wednesday. When they arrived on scene, Police reportedly witnessed two male subjects taking off on foot.
A manhunt ensued with the help of the Delaware State Police Aviation Unit. One suspect was reportedly seen in the Cranberry Run Development before he allegedly fled towards the Heatherfield Development. Authorities say the suspects were not located and a weapon was not recovered.
No injuries have been reported.
Investigators have since identified the suspects as 22-year-old Tyree Bordley and 27-year-old Perry Brooks. Authorities say warrants for resisting arrest and loitering are on file and additional charges are pending further an investigation.
Police are asking anyone with any information on their whereabouts to contact the Dover Police Department at (302)-736-7111. Police say tips can also be submitted to law enforcement through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or on-line at www.tipsubmit.com.

Reuters' Kevin Lim reports:
"Unlike the rest of the region, China is experiencing a double whammy -- the growth slowdown is driven by weaker exports as well as domestic demand, in particular investment growth," World Bank Chief Economist for East Asia and the Pacific Bert Hofman said at a briefing in Singapore.
For all of East Asia, the World Bank see 7.2 percent growth in 2012 and 7.6 percent growth in 2013. This is down from 7.6 percent and 8.0 percent.
"This is the slowest growth rate in the Asia Pacific region since 2001. It's even slower than the peak of the financial crisis in 2009," Hofman said.

For that purpose I made this account and I will go on to show these errors in the hope the notes will be fixed (although no one will probably pay attention to this).

The road tax in Livingston Parish began in 1997 and in 2006 it was extended until 2021. In 2006 voters decided to send 25 percent of the tax to a fund for a new jail and keep 75 percent of the tax going toward the roads.
Millions of dollars spent by tax payers to smooth over one of Livingston Parish's most contentious issues- roads. The 9News I-TEAM pulled records going back six years to see where the tax money is going.
"It was time to get somebody in. Do an audit-- an independent auditor to come in and do it and see exactly where everything was being spent," said parish councilman Randy Rushing.
Livingston parish councilman Randy Rushing said he's beyond upset about where road tax money is actually going. He said the audit approved by the Louisiana legislative auditor raises several questions.
One example: more than $16,000 in road tax money paid for office supplies from 2007 to 2010.
"When they pulled that lever in their mind they were voting for roads and roads only," said parish councilman Thomas Watson.
Councilman Thomas Watson said Parish President Mike Grimmer's office is playing word games with tax money when it comes to maintaining roads.
"They're making the stretch that, "well if we don't buy the stamps to the pay bill for the asphalt that we bought to fill the pothole then we can't perform the maintenance'," explained Watson.
"We have done absolutely nothing that the people didn't vote for, absolutely nothing," said Livingston Parish President Mike Grimmer.
Grimmer defended the way his administration is spending almost $9 million in road tax money each year. He said the package voters approved in 2006 gives his office plenty of leeway.
Another expenditure drawing criticism from 2007 to 2010 was $15,000 in "road fund money" that went to Community Coffee.
"I can't justify $15,000 going to coffee. I have not seen that number and I would have to get with Faulk and Winkler to even visualize that. $15,000 worth of coffee at DPW is a lot of coffee. And I just find that number to be very strange," said Grimmer.
The auditor said, "Although the expenditures meet legal requirements, these spending decisions are a matter of policy and the parish should decide whether these activities meet your expectation as to the use of these dedicated resources."
"We present the budget. The council approves the budget. The council since this audit has done absolutely nothing to change anything," said Grimmer.
"I voted against one of his budgets when all of this was coming about. So it's not that everybody's agreeing with everything being done," said Rushing.
Several members of the Livingston Parish council said they plan on changing the way the road money is spent. Some of those changes could come as early as their next meeting.

Baroness Warsi issues appeal to remain as Tory chairman
Tory Party chairman Baroness Warsi has issued an appeal to David Cameron to keep her in her post when he carries out his forthcoming Cabinet reshuffle.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the first female Muslim Cabinet minister urged Mr Cameron let her carry on so that she could help the party attract a new generation of women, working class and ethnic minority voters.
– Baroness Warsi
If I genuinely had a choice, I would like to stay doing what I'm doing.
If you look at the demographics, at where we need to be at the next election, we need more people in the north voting for us, more of what they call here 'blue collar' workers and I call the white working class.
We need more people from urban areas voting for us, more people who are not white and more women.
I play that back and think, 'I'm a woman, I'm not white, I'm from an urban area, I'm from the North, I'm working class - I kind of fit the bill. All the groups that we're aiming for are groups that I'm familiar with."

(WMC-TV) - Just when it started to get nice outside, Mother Nature decided to throw a curve ball.
Some neighborhoods throughout the Mid-South could use a break from the extreme weather, as they work to repair their properties from storms past.
Maurice King, who lives on Debby Street in Frayser, narrowly escaped major damage to her house during last month's ice storm.
"It didn't hit the house, it was on the side of the house. Barely missed it," she said.
The lumber lining the street is a constant reminder for those who drive it every day.
"Couldn't nobody use this street," said Precious Mason and Antonio Hullum, who live on Debby Street with their dog. "This whole street was blocked off. The whole tree just fell across from one side to the other."
Like the rest of the neighborhood, Mason and Hullum are bracing for the possibility of severe weather.
"If we plan on getting that weather like we're planning, then there's gonna be more added to what's been left," said Hullum.
Frayser is just one community that could really use a break from falling trees and power outages. The people living on Debby Street are most certainly putting stock in the power of positive thinking.
"I think it's gonna override us," suggested Hullum.
MLGW took criticism from some Frayser residents who spent days in the cold and dark during the ice storm.
The utility company assessed the situation since. Spokeswoman Gail Jones Carson says that event went as well as possible.
"Right now, everything is normal. We were able to get all of our customers on in a timely manner. We had some customers out a few days that was a lot less than in 1994 when we had the major ice storm," she said.

Netcare denies kidney transplant scam
Hospital network Netcare "vigorously denied" on Thursday reports of illegal kidney transplants at St Augustine's hospital in Durban.
"After several years of co-operating fully with the SA Police Service and providing the investigating officer with countless affidavits, it has come as a great surprise and disappointment that the prosecuting authority has seen it fit to bring charges against Netcare Limited, Netcare KZN and Dr Richard Friedland, Chief Executive Officer of Netcare," the hospital group said in a statement posted on its website.
"Netcare Limited, Netcare KZN and Dr Friedland vigorously deny any wrongdoing whatsoever and intend to defend the charges brought against them."
The Mercury newspaper reported on Thursday that Netcare allegedly made more than R22 million with the operations.
According to the Durban paper, Friedland was accused of being aware of the illegal transplants and allowing them to continue.
The charges relate to more than a 100 operations at the hospital between 2001 and 2003 in which people -- mainly Brazilians -- were paid as little as R42,000 to donate their kidneys to Israeli patients.
Friedland and several transplant unit staff were served with summons on Thursday, according to The Times newspaper.
More people were expected to be served with summons on Thursday.
The accused were expected to appear in a Durban court in November.

Very nice!! I've always loved painted wood floors. We had wood flooring installed throughout the second floor before we moved into our new home. I sanded them and painted them off white. The flooring guy thought I was crazy until he came back and saw the end result. It gave instant warmth to a new place.

I love painted floors. This is a nice one.
You should see the painted floors my sister in law did in her old house. They are magnificent.
I did a post on them a while back - around Christmas 2010 actually.
You'd love them Rosemary.

Harrisonburg, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jerrelle Benimon notched a double- double with 28 points and 16 rebounds as the Towson Tigers held off the James Madison Dukes, 69-66, in a Colonial Athletic Association clash at the Convocation Center.
Rafriel Guthrie netted 16 points, hitting a perfect 10-of-10 from the free- throw line for Towson (21-9, 12-3 CAA), which remains a game behind Delaware in the conference standings with one contest left on the schedule. The Tigers have won five consecutive games.
Andrey Semenov netted 22 points with five rebounds, connecting on 6-of-11 from 3-point range for James Madison (11-18, 6-9). Charles Cooke chipped in with 15 points and Andre Nation came off the bench to score 10 with six boards.
James Madison hit 33.3 percent of its shot attempts in the first half, including 5-of-13 from 3-point distance to take a 31-28 lead at the intermission. Towson shot just 30.4 percent in the frame, including 1-of-6 from deep.
The Tigers slightly improved their shooting in the second half, hitting 36.4 percent from the floor, but missed all six 3-point tries. Towson did connect on all 17 free-throw attempts in the half, though, including Four McGlynn's two foul shots with four seconds left to play to give the Tigers a three-point lead. The Dukes shot 46.2 percent in the second period, but went just 2-of-10 from beyond the arc.
Towson led JMU in second chance points, 17-11, and held a huge advantage from the free-throw line, 30-17. The Dukes outscored the Tigers from 3-point range, 21-3.

Buescher C Melody Pt. 5
Finally, here's a glimpse at the inner bell. The sure don't make'em like the used to.
Finally, here's a glimpse at the inner bell. The sure don't make'em like the used to.
A closeup of the engraving shows just how much time and skill used to craft this instrument.
Some day, if I can ever afford to manufacture instruments, I'd like to bring back dry point etching. Regardless of cost, the artisan touch says a lot about the maker and the musician.
Here's the final product. Everyone was happy with the results, and the sax played with surprisingly good intonation considering design.
I made sure to play a few gospel tunes before making some final adjustments, and then got myself a Topo Chico at the corner store.
After chem clean and polish this sax came out mint.
As the story goes, this sax was found at a small church in Alabama before being relocated to an antique shop in Colorado. The case was also in mint condition, and contained a pair of white gloves—no wonder the horn was still mint.
This was my first saxophone overhaul. A lively and adventurous flutist came back from a trip to Denver with this Buescher C Melody Sax. Cosmetically it was in decent shape, but the pads were eaten by bugs, the corks crumbling, and the keys gummy.
After breaking down the sax I removed the old snap pads in favor of modern, and prepped the horn for a chem clean and polish. At the time I was excited, and knew the no one else took the job because 1) it was a C melody 2) with a bastard key. Needless to say, it was a learning experience.

UN Volunteers catalyst for environmental sustainability
by Amina Said
Bonn, Germany: The United Nations Volunteers programme (UNV) is mobilizing volunteers to support the Live Earth concert in Shanghai, China on 7 July, which aims to empower individuals to take decisive action to combat climate change.
In a role welcomed by leading organizer and former US Vice-President Al Gore, UNV will work, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to mobilize 100-150 volunteers. They will raise awareness about climate change in China and how individuals can contribute to the solution. UNV expects these volunteers will then help to develop environmental volunteer projects in China in advance of the "Green Olympics" in Beijing in 2008.
UNV plans to recruit hundreds of volunteers to help organize the "Green Olympics" alongside the Beijing Summer Olympics and Paralympics, in order to promote reduced air, water and noise pollution, environmentally friendly transport and responsible disposal of solid waste.
UNV Executive Coordinator Ad de Raad said, "The adverse effects of climate change are already being felt in areas ranging from agriculture and food security to human health and energy, transport and industry. As the UN focal point for volunteerism for development, UN Volunteers is uniquely placed to help mobilize volunteers to reduce the social and economic implications of climate change and promote environmental sustainability."
UNV is the United Nations focal point for promoting and harnessing volunteerism for effective development. It pursues distinctive contributions to effective development by advocating the role and benefits of volunteerism, fostering civic engagement in development programmes, and helping to mobilize volunteers worldwide. Every year, UNV directly mobilizes more than 7,500 volunteers for development projects and it operates OnlineVolunteering.org to connect development organizations with thousands of online volunteers worldwide.
UNV is administered by the UNDP.

Amanda Liu, Bonnie Devine, Dan Knight, Jon Lord, Oscar Fech, Sandra Hunter, Joe Connelly, Gary Johnston, Barry Erskine, Craig Burrows, Wayne Stewart, Bob Hawkesworth, Barb Higgins, Naheed Nenshi and Ric McIver. Know who these names represent? You should have been able to guess by the last few, but these names represent the 15 mayoral candidates for the 2010 Calgary election. Some of these names are more widely known, such as McIver, Higgins and Nenshi. But are they more widely recognizable because of their political merit or their campaign budget? Or is it past fame? Has our electoral system boiled down to a popularity contest?
It is not surprising that the electorate is gravitating towards familiar names and ideas. Not many citizens, especially the youth, have time to research the 15 candidates and their platforms, the aldermen and the trustees. And why should we care? The issuesw being debated are quite trivial compared to the midterm and two assignments due next week. Surely our education and livelihood are more important than an airport tunnel or a few new LRT stations. It is only a municipal election right?
Well yes, but then again, its much more than just an election -- it's the great Canadian democracy. It's our way of life! Okay, maybe I am stretching it a little bit. Maybe voting doesn't matter so much on the municipal level. At higher levels of government, though our votes count less percentage wise, the issues discussed are of great importance to our lives, daily or otherwise.
The provincial and federal governments govern many aspects of our lives that we take for granted. For example our tuition, though it may be more expensive than what we would prefer, is a lot less than the full cost of our education. Health care, education, public infrastructure, law and order: these are all issues that should concern us. And of course, they deal with our money. Now that is a matter of concern. When you buy a new pair of shoes, do you pay the store and then expect them to pick out the best pair for you? No, because they don't know what type of shoe you would prefer.
Similarly, we pay taxes to our governments and expect them to provide services to our satisfaction. This is where voting and general citizen participation comes in. This is where you make it known that you want better roadways or lower taxes. And though your voice may not always be implemented, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you at least tried to have your voice heard.
Even for municipal elections, it is important for us to tell our leaders what we want from them. Tell them if we really want the big red pedestrian bridge or if we would prefer more police service. And though some of these debates may seem trivial over more immediate aspects of our personal lives, they represent a much larger force at work.
It's well-known that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Historically this referred to monarchs who had absolute rule over their people. The king ruled and the average citizen did not get his say. Thankfully, our government is not like that. We have the right to choose our government. We have the right to make our voices heard. So why shouldn't we have the right to forgo those rights and not vote, or participate in the government?
Because power in the hands of many is better than power in the hands of a few, or one. This is one of the central tenants of the modern democracy. By forgoing our right, or more accurately, responsibility to vote, we reduce power into the hands of the few who decide to vote. In addition, those in power only have to please those who vote to stay in power.
Young voters often get despondent about municipal issues. They prefer to enact change in different ways, or find themselves too busy to learn about their candidates. Resources like the Internet, however, have made it easier than ever to learn about candidates who are trying to get their platforms out. It takes less time than many people think and it's always time well spent.

This year, the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover Historical Society and Andover Village Improvement Society are teaming up to offer three back-to-back events on Sunday, Sept. 22, in conjunction with Trails & Sails: Two Weekends of Walks & Water, which is organized by the Essex National Heritage Commission.
Starting at noon, AVIS will lead a 90-minute walk through the Goldsmith Woodlands to explore the mature forestland and the shoreline of Foster's Pond.
From 2 to 3 p.m., Addison Gallery Director Brian T. Allen will offer a tour of one of the gallery's fall shows, "Natural Selections," exploring the many ways artists relate to the natural world.
And at 4 p.m., the Andover Historical Society will lead a 90-minute walking tour along beautiful Central Street in the heart of downtown Andover.
All of the events are free and open to the public, and participants can choose to do all or just one or two.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with AVIS and the Addison Gallery to coordinate these three terrific events, which complement one another perfectly," Elaine Clements, executive director of the Andover Historical Society, said. "Whether you live in Andover or are coming to town from farther afield as part of the Trails & Sails program, these programs will make for a great afternoon exploring the town and will offer insights into Andover's cultural and natural resources."
Also in conjunction with the 12th annual Essex Heritage Trails & Sails, the Shawsheen River Watershed Association is hosting a paddle on a scenic section of the Shawsheen River in Andover on Saturday Sept. 28. Paddlers should meet at the Ballardvale dam at 8:30 a.m., where people will be shuttled to the launching point upstream. SRWA can provide gear for up to 15 people; people with their own gear are also encouraged to participate. Those interested should email firstname.lastname@example.com by Sept. 25.
The events are among more than 100 free activities planned as part of Trails & Sails: Two Weekends of Walks & Water, Sept. 20 through 22 and Sept. 27 through 29. The annual event celebrates the historic, cultural and natural treasures found in the Essex National Heritage Area. Visit www.essexheritage.org/ts for a complete schedule.
