No current Talk conversations about this book.
Such beautiful writing and an unusual story. There is simply no way to know how it will end so you know you have to finish quickly.
A truly outstanding book, and perhaps my favorite work of 19th century British literature.
The author's style is engaging, with interesting story lines and character development that flow seamlessly throughout. Mr. Hardy has that rare ability to capture the reader's attention and maintain it with wonderfully intertwined twists and turns that make for a compelling novel.
Highly recommended.
Truly a triumph of Hardy's later works. Despite each of the main characters' personality flaws, one cannot help but become attached to their outcomes and trials. Hardy proves his mastery of the human condition in literature within the pages of this book, showing readers the perils of being obstinate, jealous, and vengeful. In contrast, readers are also shown how life can be nothing but misery for those who are meek and remain quiet when ill-treated. I do not agree that this is a parable regarding the evils of alcohol, as Michael Henchard, the main character, is not suffering because of his past drunkenness or due to the effects of remaining sober before returning to drink. This is a novel about human character and there is no teetotaller messages to be found. There really is not a dull moment throughout this novel and the parallels between the time periods are similar enough to keep even strictly anti-"Classics" readers entertained.
The ending reduced me to tears.
Oh, I loved this book! I think Thomas Hardy is my new favorite British/Victorian author. I was afraid of him for a long time because I knew his stories were sad, but they are so beautifully told, and there is such depth--I think this book had so much room for very interesting discussion, either in a book club or with older kids. It made me hungry for another Hardy book!

The Mayor of Casterbridge opens with an act of such heartlessness and cruelty that it still shocks today. Michael Henchard, an out-of-work hay-trusser, gets drunk at a fair and for five guineas sells his wife and child to a sailor. When the horror of his act finally sets in, Henchard swears he will not touch alcohol for twenty-one years. Through hard work and acumen, he becomes rich, respected, and eventually the mayor of Casterbridge. But eighteen years after his fateful oath, his wife and daughter, Elizabeth-Jane, return to Casterbridge, and his fortunes steadily decline.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:43:54 -0400)
On a drunken impulse, Michael Henchard, a hay-trusser by trade, sells his wife Susan and their child to a sailor. Years later, Susan returns to Casterbridge a widow, to seek her legal husband who is, surprisingly, now the Mayor.

Lego Atlantis: The Movie is a computer animated comedy film based on the toy line of the same name. It is considered a family film besides the crude humor in the film. It premiered on Cartoon Network in the United States on January 15, 2010, and in Europe on January 25, 2010. It features the characters from the toy line, apart from Bobby Buoy and Axel Storm.
Deep underwater the Atlantis logo appears and the Neptune Carrier runs through it revealing the characters. Captain Ace Speedman (Bruce Boxleitner) announces to the crew that they will dock by the darkness. A fish scientist named Dr. Jeff Fisher or Fish (Jeff Glen Bennett) wants to get praise from the others by looking for a fake species. Samantha Rhodes (Rachael MacFarlane) is a professor who wants to enjoy the love of Atlantis. They all meet up with First Mate Lance Spears (Patrick Seitz) who is lazy at all times. Then a giant crab comes and throws the ship down to a lava pit.
They all escape and stop in a nearby wasteland. They all go into the bottom base and see the recycled pieces of Lego. They build the machines that are used in the toy series. The back doors open and they all head out to look for the keys to find Atlantis. They see Manta Warriors and fight them off only for everyone to be chased by a shark. Lance makes a fake dummy and throws it at the shark. He eats it and blows off. They find the 2 keys. They go into a squid temple and Fish gets a crystal from there but escapes. Then a giant squid grabs them but gets tangled by them and Sam gets the crystal. Captain Ace finds one in the ground but gets hit by a Manta Warrior and he nabs his eye patch and his key.
Then Ace leaves and the crew looks for him. They find him at the forbidden shark temple where he has his eye-patch and key. He gives Sam the key and the doors open. Fish gasps as millions of shark-warriors run out and attack them. They use a trident to scare them away. Then they see the last crystal but Sam thinks that Atlantis was just fake and she wasn't that smart. Ace encourages her to move on and she does. They pull out the keys and place them in the key holders on a gate.
Fish notices that there is one missing. Then the last key appears and they place it in the middle. Sam turns it and it makes two sharks to come to life from statues. They chase around them until they get all their power to build a rocket to get over the portal in the middle. They run into it and the screen fades out. They appear to be in the golden city of Atlantis. Then Fish, Sam, Ace and Lance look out into the city as they become heroes.

The Pittsburgh Pirates played like major league roster filler yesterday at Port Charlotte, Florida. The ugliness led to a six inning 5-5 tie that was broken by a Justin Ruggiano two-run single off Joel Hanrahan.
While the Rays busted open the game late, the Bucs bats fell silent. The new look Rays bullpen shut down the Bucs youngsters. Joel Peralta, Cesar Ramos, and Andy Sonnanstine pitched very well. Sonnastine was the only reliever to give up anything.
The vicitm of the Pirates poor play was Charlie Morton. Although the electric stuff wasn't readily available, but he deserved better. It was noticeable in the second inning when two outs were avoided simply by poor fielding. Matt Diaz misplayed a fly ball into a double and Ryan Doumit told Morton to throw the ball to third when the play was at first.
Morton allowed five hits and walked three while throwing 80 pitchers. He did something we've never seen as well. Morton fouled off five pitches then got a hit. He also got a bunt down after being in an 0-2 hole. Thank you Gregg Ritchie.
Josh Rodriguez had a clutch two-run single to give the Bucs a 5-3 lead.
It was disgusting how many Rays runners took second base. Seemingly at will.
"I don't think I've ever felt this good," Overbay said. "I remember in '06, the last week I was really feeling good and that helped. The balls are finding holes right now, so that's part of it, too. I have been taking advantage of the pitches, but hopefully it will kind of progress right on to the season in terms of being ready from pitch one. I don't think I've done that in the past." Lyle Overbay on MLB.com
From Twitter land. James McDonald will pitch in minor league game today. Brad Lincoln will throw a bullpen today after throwing some long toss yesterday.

Wedding: 11/10/2013
We booked a guitarist for the ceremony of our 75 person wedding, outdoors. Prior to deciding this, we had initially gone with a violin, though we changed our minds after the paperwork and deposit were given. No big deal, Master Musicians made the change without any question. Our guitarist was on time, and played well. Everything was wonderful. Would certainly recommend them.
Thank you for the kind words! At Master Musicians Inc. we believe your day should be your way. We were happy to accommodate your change and honored that you chose us to be a part of your wedding day!
Wedding: 11/2/2013
Hired a solo violinist and pianist for my outdoor ceremony and cocktail reception (violinist). They were perfect. Executed ceremony requests which included accompanying a vocalist (my friend) flawlessly. It made me thoroughly appreciate this beautiful talent to execute such songs instrumentally .... breathtaking. I am so happy with my decision to use live musicians and the choice to use master musicians.
Wedding: 10/26/2013
Adding a guitarist and vocalist to my outdoor wedding ceremony was a last minute addition, and it was well worth it. Carlos (guitarist) and Evelyn (vocalist) were the perfect touch to a personal ceremony, and really added a special moment between readings. Master Musicians could not have been more helpful in listening to my requests and finding musicians that fit my program perfectly. They provided options, samples and photos. Made the selection easy and efficient - what more could a bride want!
Wedding: 9/26/2014
First, they were there on time despite the heavy traffic getting there. You can't compare the difference between a weeding without them and with them. We hired a string quartet for our ceremony and a piano for the cocktail hour and our guests gave us many compliments on both the quartet and the piano. I recommend Master Musicians not only for the quality of the work but for the professionalism. I had many phone calls with Elizabeth safier, and she was professional, educated, organized and reliable. thank you so much.
Thank you Hector and Vanessa! We enjoyed working with you every step of the way. Best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness. xo Julie, Trish & Elizabeth
Wedding: 8/22/2014
I used this company to hire a guitarist for my beach wedding ceremony. They were very nice and accommodating. We rehearsed a song that I wanted to sing to my husband at the ceremony and everything went perfect! Highly recommended!
Alexandra your music selections were beautiful and unique! We LOVE that! It was our pleasure to accompany you for your surprise song "When You Say Nothing At All". Being part of a surprise is always fun! Thanks again. Best Wishes, Julie, Trish & Eli...
We used Master Musicians for our beach wedding. Our steel drummer did a fantastic job on the day of the wedding and we received so many compliments. Prior to our wedding, Master Musicians did a great job keeping in touch with me and was very professional.
Thanks for the kind words Trusha! Your beach wedding ceremony was beautiful. Thank you for choosing us for your day. Best Wishes, Julie, Trish & Elizabeth
Wedding: 6/14/2014
Master musicians provided acoustic guitar and a microphone for our wedding on the beach. The music was beautiful and perfect for our setting. Carlos arrived on time and played what we asked perfectly. I would recommend Master Musicians for any of your live music needs.
the steel drum sounded great
Wedding: 5/24/2014
We hired Master Musicians for my wedding for a violinist to play during out ceremony and it was the highlight of the ceremony. Simply spectacular!!!!!Everything was simply perfect!! Will recommend them to anyone who wishes to make their ceremony special!!
Wedding: 4/13/2014
Excellence, professionalism and quality. You will have perfection. We had Spanish guitar for ceremony and Flamenco guitar for cocktail hour and the musician was FANTASTIC!! Our wedding guests all had to comment about how great ceremony and cocktail hour music was. We are very please with their services
Wedding: 4/5/2014
All the staff at Master Musicians is wonderful. They were helpful and attentive.
Wedding: 2/17/2013
Master musicians provided a perfect atmosphere during our ceremony. I could not have asked for a better guitarist to play for my wedding. Master Musicians was a pleasure to work with. They were very accommodating and helpful in choosing music throughout the whole planning process. I would recommend them to any bride.
Wedding: 12/21/2013
amazing... They made my outdoor ceremony complete
Wedding: 10/11/2013
I hired a Spanish solo guitarist to play for the hour during our cocktail hour. I didn't get a chance to personally see him, but literally, every single guest said that he was beyond amazing! This was a special touch that I wanted to add, instead of having the DJ play during the cocktail hour.
Amesha, Thanks you for being so kind! You were an absolute pleasure to work with and your day was beautiful. Your choice to hire Liz and Lex Events for your event planners was also a very great decision. They are wonderful and such a huge asset to an...
Wedding: 11/9/2013
Leading up to the actual day, I had the pleasure of working with Michelle.
She was professional and extremely helpful.I did not know what songs to choose, Michelle was able to ease the stress by assisting with the music selection. The day of the ceremony we had a very nice guitarist Adon. We received many compliments.
Wedding: 7/6/2013
Master Musicians did a phenomenal job at my wedding. I hired a solo classical-style guitarist (Bob B.), and he added a really special touch to my ceremony. In addition to having the wedding standards, we made two special requests (a video game theme song and an Elvis song) and Bob perfectly translated these songs into a solo classical style. Master Musicians is also a very affordable option if you're looking for live ceremony music. If you are in the market for live music at your wedding, look no further than Master Musicians.
Wedding: 6/28/2013
We got the string trio for our ceremony and it was beautiful and we got a flamenco guitarist for our cocktail hour.... Everyone love it
Wedding: 6/26/2013
Master Musicians were hired for our wedding. One of the musicans was too busy talking to one of the managers that they didn't start on time. Even my husband commented on it. They played specific music we asked that was not part of normal playlist which was a nice. Overall not worth the money but what is a wedding ceremony without music??
Congratulations on your wedding day Kim and Carlo! Talking to the event/venue managers as your event began is a sign to me that there was an issue that the venue and your musicians needed to speak of immediately, otherwise our professionalism and ex...
Wedding: 7/6/2013
Thank you guys SOOOO much for performing at our wedding! Your spanish guitar was absolutely perfect for our beach setting at the Jupiter Beach Resort. You added such fun and lightness to the wedding. I heard you guys did an AMAZING job during our cocktail hour and everyone loved what you played! :) I highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a laid back atmosphere and have the people feel relaxed during any wedding events.. whether it be ceremony or reception. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Wedding: 6/22/2013
I hired Master's Musicians to play the violin on my daughter's Catholic wedding ceremony, it was a perfect choice for the ceremony, very classy.
Julie Bloch played wonderful! and she was very much on time. Trish Figari with whom we made all the arrangements, was very friendly and provided all the information and help we needed to choose the right music numbers for the ceremony.
Thank you!

This week we're in Jamesville, North Carolina to meet the Cooper family. To say that Jeff Cooper is an American hero might be a bit of an understatement. He served in the US Army as a Combat Medic in "Operation Desert Shield / Desert Storm." During that time, he earned two Army Commendation Medals, the Army Achievement medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the Overseas Service Ribbon, the Humanitarians Service Medal, the Southwest Asia Service Medal, the Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia), the Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait) Army Service Ribbon, a Combat Medical Badge, Expert Field Medical Badge Expert Rifle Badge and Expert Grenade Badge.Like so many of his fellow soldiers who served in the first Gulf War, Jeff Cooper came home with more than just medals. He also came home suffering from Gulf War Syndrome. Gulf War syndrome is an illness reported by combat veterans of the 1991 Persian Gulf War typified by symptoms including immune system disorders. In Jeff's case, he is suffering from a number of symptoms including MS. Jeff is now confined to a wheelchair and suffering in pain.
However, he is living proof that you can't keep a good man down. If Jeff can no longer fight for his country, he is determined to fight for his countrymen. In 2003 he was named North Carolina's Disabled Veteran of the year. So we're here this week to make a difference, give him his freedom back, we're going to build a home that's worthy of an American hero.This week I'm taking care of Jeff's office and a memorial garden and there's a lot of history there so I want to get it right. I took a trip to a local civil war museum to look into his lineage. He has family members who fought in the civil war. I'm going to find out everything I can about it and hopefully bring some memorabilia back. This week I've really learned that it's important to keep family history alive and Jeff's history is rich in that. And I'm doing my part to find out about his lineage, to find out about his ancestors who have fought in all the different wars. It's all about courage, honor and service to our country.We were lucky to have a great builder, John Norris from Edenton builders. It was great to see him and his crew marching down the street like soldiers. It was great they had flags waving in the air it was pretty cool that they knew that we were here to honor a hero. John was the perfect match for this family, being a graduate of the Citadel.This week's been all about American heroes, men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom. It's also about the family members who stay at home and support their family members who are fighting for us. When I look at Jeff I see a, a man who's only 45 years old, but he's struggling. I'm just hope we were able to make a difference this week, to give him a little freedom, give him mobility, and give him that opportunity to dance with his wife again.

Austin Reptile Expo 2013
I spent some time talking to Bryan Hummel of RainbowBoas.com today and he let me take some up-close-and-personal shots of some of his carpets. I really love the jags and he had a great looking jungle jag at the stand that I just couldn't take enough pictures of (I'm such a sucker for that patterning augh!!!). He was a really great guy to talk to and had some very nice animals, and he's got a great rep - so if you're in the market for a carpet (or a rainbow boa), definitely swing by his facebook and check out what he's up to!
Ditto. Ahhhhhhh
Can I have it..?

Sony at CES 2014 - Las Vegas
Before I get into my experience attending CES 2014 in Las Vegas, I want to just say wow! and thank you! to everyone for my last post of photos of New York City in the snow right before I left for Vegas! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I got home and saw that the post was up to 30,000 notes here on Tumblr. I spent the majority of time in Vegas posting to my Twitter and so I was blissfully unaware that my post was being passed around so much. Thank you sincerely everyone!
I was invited to work with Sony earlier this week to cover Sony's new tech releases at CES 2014 in Las Vegas. I didn't have the smoothest time getting out to Vegas since I got stuck in Chicago in the polar vortex (if you are curious and want to be amused, you can scroll through my posts on my Facebook about my Chicago polar vortex experience). However, I made it on a secret unlisted flight out to Vegas hours later than I was expected to arrive but in one bemused piece.
I had never been to Las Vegas or CES so my short stay was punctuated by a lot of jaw-dropping overwhelmed and slightly surreal moments. I spent the majority of my time on a tight itinerary with Sony so I didn't get to fully explore Las Vegas. I did end up walking around the strip with some really awesome and hilarious people some of whom are listed and linked below (also brought out by Sony) the night before I left which resulted in the few photos that appear in this photo-set. Perhaps one day I will go back to Vegas and give it a real whirl.
Gallery Key (corresponds to the order of photos in the photo-set):
1. A view of the Eiffel Tower Restaurant which is part of the Paris Hotel on the Las Vegas strip. This is about as close as I have gotten to an Eiffel Tower and while it most likely pales in comparison to the real thing, it was fairly enthralling at night.
2. And while we are on the subject of Paris, here is a view of a Paris street projected onto a wall in the Sony Life UX room at CES 2014. This was, hands down, my favorite place at CES 2014. It was meant to give a glimpse into future entertainment options. The device responsible for this uncannily real view of a Paris street is Sony's state of the art 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector which has the ability to project an Ultra HD image up to 147 inches onto a wall.
The bonus part of the room though? The entire room took on the same lighting present in the video of the Paris street creating a pretty awesome mood. There was a skylight that projected the same type of light and a lamp on a table outside of view here that fulfilled all of my Minority Report dreams of the future since the images projected from the lamp were fully interactive.
3.I was fortunate enough to get an exclusive invite to the official Sony keynote on Tuesday morning where Sony's President Kazuo Hirai gave an invigorating presentation on where Sony is headed in terms of its main goals. Hirai emphasized that Sony is concerned with injecting the "wow factor" into every element of what it envisions, creates, and produces with an extra emphasis on "play". To emphasize this emphasis, the keynote was supplemented by one of the most riveting artistic presentations I have seen. Artists created art live while Hirai spoke bringing his words to life. You can watch the keynote here: Kazuo Hirai Keynote - CES 2014
One of the highlights was the appearance of Vince Gilligan who is the creator of Breaking Bad. Kazuo Hirai interviewed him on stage and during the interview the artists backstage created an ongoing montage to Breaking Bad complete with a blue meth-filled volcano, Walter White, and a nod to the spin-off Better Call Saul.
4. Ended up at the Bellagio for a grand dinner for Sony's influencers at Yellowtail. This is the ceiling of the lobby of the Bellagio which is the work of master glass artist Dale Chihuly. It was hard to pull all of us away from gawking at the ceiling.
5.I have been obsessed with virtual reality for years. Sony stepped up their game at CES 2014 released an update to their Head Mounted Display which now includes head-tracking. There are a number of important players in the virtual reality arena right now with Oculus Rift being one of the prominent players. Sony's addition of head-tracking ups the ante since it gives a more life-life feel. Let's say put the display on and are in a car. With the new head-tracking you can look around at the view which immerses you deeper into the virtual reality landscape. This was someone testing out Sony's Head Mounted Display.
6. Las Vegas has a number of extravagantly decorated hotels. The Venetian is one of the more beautiful hotel interiors I got to experience during my short stay in Vegas. This is one of the main corridors. In truth, the ceiling was an absolute masterpiece but I was hung up on the MC Escher-esque floor.
7. One of my favorite hashtags during CES was #4kfor2k . It referred to the new, more affordable 4K camcorder that Sony announced. It is the Handycam FDR-AX100. Specs: 4K capture at 30p and 24p with a Carl Zeiss F/2.8-4.5 lens and the ability to shoot 108oi at 120p. Pretty sweet! Previously, 4K cameras were far more expensive so this is an exciting price-point.
8. Everywhere you looked at CES 2014 there seemed to be yet another implementation of wearable tech. Sony's wearable tech differs from many of the other options in that Sony's SmartBand (pictured here) comes with the Sony Core and LifeLog software. Rather than just log fitness goals, you can track and log nearly every element of your day as well as your sleep patterns. The SmartBand can even wake you up at the time of your choice with a tiny wrist vibration. This wearable tech will be released in a few months for Android initially.
9. On the last night of my stay in Las Vegas, I walked around the Las Vegas strip with a few other people and ended up taking a late night gondola ride in the canals of the Venetian Hotel complete with a singing gondolier (evidence here: http://instagram.com/p/i5fOleCrI0/ ). This was one of my views from the gondola. I have never been to the canals of the real Venice so this was pretty cool albeit a bit amusing and surreal in a Las Vegas sort of way.
10. A big highlight was getting to meet and speak with Sony's brand new COO and President of Sony Electronics Mike Fasulo. All of the influencers who worked with Sony at CES 2014 got to have a breakfast with him. Here we are with Mike Fasulo in Sony's enormous CES booth (before the crowds got there).
Pictured here from Left to Right: Kewiki, Michelle McGraw, Swopes, Mal Sherlock, Frederick Van Johnson, Mike Fasulo, Amanda Brooks, Vivienne Gucwa, Ian Padgham, Leticia Barr, Katie Levien Babineau, one of Sony's Social Media Team, Carol Cain, and Callan Green, one of Sony's Social Media Team

New York reveals cancer data map
Monday - 5/24/2010, 2:45pm EDT
In what may be the first of its kind nationally, New York recently unveiled a comprehensive, interactive, statewide cancer data map that shows diagnosis rates and potentially hazardous sites nearby. Government Technology reports that the site was launched May 3, and created by the New York State Department of Health. The map allows users to view how many people in a given geographic area have been diagnosed with cancer, including the type (23 different types are included, identified by the organ in which the cancer originated). It reflects peoples' addresses at the time of diagnosis, but doesn't take into account age or individual risk factors.

Bedford High School is a great place.There is no better school in the state. The teachers go through a long process before they get hired...so I hear... And they are second to none. Kids graduate prepared for college and, more importantly, the world. Makes a parent very proud to live in Bedford. Its worth every penny for the high property taxes. What kids really love high school... I know I didn't and would give a poor review to the private school I attended after seeing the education my kids received. Thanks BHS.... Keep it going. Submitted by a parent
Worst school my children have attended. We are a military family. They didn't calculate credits correctly, had my kids sit in the office for a month and a half until a class opened up and they have made it my children's problem they stuck them in a class for two weeks and gave them the entire semester midterm and gave F's for the quarter. we are still fighting them on it four months later,kids were put in the wrong classes, administration is not truthful and gives lip service. Very discriminatory. A lot of drugs, kids have been taken from school in ambulances. No other schools around and you will be stuck here. Some parents have pulled kids out. I have emails from administration that prove what I am saying, it needs to be publicized. Bedford needs to get on track and fix itself. Avoid this school if at all possible.
BHS is a wonderful size. Unlike many schools these days there are no fees to participate in sports or activities and due to size kids can join the band, play, school newspaper, teams etc. without a problem. Parents are very involved in this school system and it is easy to get an appointment with a teacher or administrator. The work is of high caliber and the teachers are dedicated running things like science team, weight room, overseas trips, clubs etc. There is a new principal this year 2012-13 - so far, so good. That said, at time the administration can be slow to correct a problem. They listen great but progress happens slowly. This does mean some of the mediocre teachers stay too long. Luckily there are not many. Check out the test scores of this small high school. Impressive. And a bit more diversity than your average suburb due to participation in the METCO program and the inclusion of kids form Hanscom Airforce base.
Great school for military children. Inclusive community. Excellent staff, administration, and community. BHS serves the needs of the whole child! Best military move for my kids!
Excellent staff, administration, and community

– As we have been reporting, WWE is planning a "disgruntled guys" group with Dolph Ziggler and The Miz. Another name being thrown around is Zak Ryder.
Andrews Take: Zak Ryder's contract is running out shortly and he might just be out the door. I like the idea of the group as long as they do not turn it into another version of the "3 man band"
– WWE will hold their annual shareholders meeting on Friday, April 25 in Stamford, Connecticut.
– Current WWE intercontinental champion, Big E, spoke with the Boston Herald about a variety of things. Check it out below:
Working with Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee in 2012: "I'm very grateful for the opportunity with that role, but I knew I could be a lot more than just a bodyguard. Stepping out of that and having opportunities in a single role was good for me. I felt there was a lot more for me to offer, and I still feel that way."
His thoughts on WWE's crop of rising talents: "We're all pushing each other. It's a great time for our business. There are a lot of guys waiting for a main spot on the roster – Cesaro, the Shield, the Wyatt Family, Fandango, Damien Sandow – the list goes on and on of talented guys who are hungry and ready to work hard every night. You're always watching what they're doing. When they have a great match, you want to top that."
He also spoke about being in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal: "Raising that Andre the Giant trophy is a big deal. That's my focus at WrestleMania. My dream is to win the WWE world heavyweight championship at WrestleMania. I've only been in the business four years and it's been a good start, but there's still a lot more I can show people."

If you watch a lot of porn, then you've probably seen some very large-sized toys, some even verging on the ridiculously huge. Watching horny babes trying to wiggle them inside tight pussies can be hot. However, watching them easily slide into mature holes is a little different, mainly because older pussies have had a lot more practice loosening up for big cocks.
On Bizarre Mature Dildo, you can witness some extreme penetrations firsthand. Although, to be honest, many of them don't get much of the dildo inside them. All the women are from countries in Europe, like the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. They range in age from 35 to 55 and you'll see a variety of shapes and sizes, from homely BBWs to skinny babes and from big, saggy boobs to perky handfuls. There's definitely a grandma or two in the mix.
What they all have in common is a need for something bigger and thicker than a pencil-dick. You'll get each woman's age, name and a bunch of preview thumbnails. All the scenes are solo and a similarly sized black dildo is used.
There are 31 episodes of mature self-pleasuring action here. Choose from a great-quality Windows Media file or get your mature dildo fix in an MP4 format for mobile devices. All the videos offer a streaming version as well and they play in an embedded Flash player. Each episode comes with a set of high-res pics that can be saved in a Zip folder. The images they have online are viewable in three sizes.
Navigation is simple enough. You start on one shared network homepage and use a dropdown menu to find your way to the site you're looking for. Once there, you'll see thumbnails representing each scene. Your membership includes all those other sites and there are 23 in all from Mature Mega Pass, like Bizarre Mature Sex, Outdoor Mature and I Love Mature, so there's plenty more older-lady fun to be had.
However, the monthly fee is very expensive and there hasn't been an update in a very long time (since 2007). Bizarre Mature Dildo just doesn't have enough going for it to justify the extremely high price tag.

By all indications, the free agency period for the Memphis Grizzlies will be much more about keeping players in the Grind House rather than looking for help from afar.
Zach Randolph is already taken care of, having agreed to a two-year deal last week to remain with the Grizzlies, and veteran sharpshooter Mike Miller has been vocal about two things so far this offseason—he wants to play three or four more years and he wants to finish his career in Memphis.
Miller told Memphis' 92.9 FM-ESPN on Monday afternoon that his free agency approach will be a simple one.
"They know how badly I wanna be here," Miller said. "That makes it very simple. If they feel the same way and it's a fair deal, it'll be a done deal."
Miller was second in the NBA last season in 3-point shooting at 45.9 percent, with the specialist taking more than half his shots (233 out of 443 attempts) from the deep part of the floor.
If one were to take Miller's shooting out of the Memphis equation, the Grizzlies' somewhat grisly 19th-place finish in 3-point shooting (35.3 percent as a team) looks much, much worse.
For perspective, every Memphis player not named "Mike Miller" shot 32.6 percent, which would have been the 28th in the NBA, ahead of only the brick-layers from the Detroit and Philadelphia NBA locals.
One factor that will help the Grizzlies from the inside will be the return to health of swingman Quincy Pondexter, who was limited to just 15 games before being shut down for surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot.
The Grizzlies are looking for Pondexter to be a much bigger contributor, a player who could add offense to the lineup in place of journeyman Courtney Lee at the 2 or the rusted-out shell of Tayshaun Prince—still on the books for another year at a little more than $7.7 million—at the 3.
In his last healthy season in 2012-13 (OK, somewhat healthy season in 2012-13), Pondexter shot 39.5 percent from 3-point range in 59 games (he missed 23 contests with a sprained knee).
Pondexter was a key contributor off the bench in the 2013 playoffs as Memphis made its first-ever trip to the conference finals, averaging 8.9 points and shooting 45.3 percent from 3-point range in 23.8 minutes a game.
One free agent decision the Grizzlies did make on Monday was to not extend a qualifying offer to big man Ed Davis, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent.
Davis would have required a $4,361,789 qualifying offer in order for the Grizzlies to retain their right to match any contract offers for the 24-year-old big and for a team that is projected to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $6.5 million below the luxury tax threshold next season, that was a bit too large of a piece of pie to swallow.
Davis was a part-time starter in Toronto before coming to Memphis in the Rudy Gay to Toronto trade in January 2013 and he's averaged only 15 minutes a game since coming to Tennessee, down from the 24 minutes a night he was getting with the Raptors.
He's been efficient in his opportunities, shooting 53.4 percent and averaging 13.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per 36 minutes, but the club also drafted Tennessee power forward Jarnell Stokes last week and he could be a cheaper alternative for backup minutes at the 4 behind Randolph—an important consideration for a team that is always trying to be cap—or at the very least, tax—conscious.
There are a couple of options out there to bring in help at the shooting guard spot if the Grizzlies want to hedge on first-round pick Jordan Adams.
Even at 37, Vince Carter could provide some scoring for the Grizzlies or, if they want to go younger, C.J. Miles had a quietly effective season for the Cavaliers and could be had for a relatively cheap price.

Wal-Mart is No General Motors
Harold Meyerson writes an op-ed in todays NYT about how the USA is now a nation of consumers. Seventy percent of our GNP is due to consuming goods rather than producing them. He points out that this is not always the way it was.
In the four decades following World War II, our largest employer was General Motors; for the past decade, it's been Wal-Mart. GM followed in the footsteps of Henry Ford, who by 1913 had concluded that he needed to pay his workers enough that they could afford to buy a new Ford. Wal-Mart, by contrast, pays its workers so little that they are compelled to shop at Wal-Mart.
To point out the validity of Meyerson's argument the current answer to economic problems in the USA is to give tax money back to the taxpayers in hopes they will consume even more.
Meyerson goes on to write:
Today, 20 years after we decided not to have an industrial policy, we have an industrial base that employs an ever-smaller number of Americans. What has kept us afloat during the current decade hasn't been our productive capacity but the inflation of our assets — the rising value of our homes, against which we've borrowed to purchase the things we could not afford out of our stagnant paychecks. To the extent that the United States had a macro-economic strategy, it was Shop Till You Drop.
So we've shopped. And now we've dropped.

Small Stages wraps up its 2014 season with Jennifer Daniels on Friday, November 7th. It's been close to 7 years since Small Stages presented Jennifer in a sold out, packed to the walls home south of town. We noted that she was performing quite a few headlining gigs at prominent southeastern folk venues this year and thought it was the perfect time to bring a favorite of Small Stages back to town. "Imagine a singer/songwriter whose songs are as lyrically rich, personal and poetic as Joni Mitchell's, while at the same time as ridiculously catchy as Cat Stevens. Now imagine the songs sung by a woman whose voice is sorta like Sarah McLachlan's, only it's both more powerful and more playful."
Show will start at 7:30 pm with doors opening at 6:30 for appetizers and socializing.
Work has started on Phase II of our Riley Travellick EcoScape. With the help of volunteers from Holcim (US) Inc., the area behind the pavilion was cleared of overgrown weeds and invasive shrubs and contoured to create a bio swale. Trees were retained wherever possible, or reused as pavilion benches. Starting in late August, BSC student volunteers will sow grass seeds and spread recycled wood around flower beds.

The REV500 is also flexible and simple to use. It lets you use either 1/4" phone or XLR connectors for both input and output, and gives you the option of +4 dB input and output levels. Four rotary controls allow quick and easy editing of the basic program parameters.
Page 5: Controls, Front Panel
You should adjust the control so that the CLIP LEDs do not light. 2 PROGRAM keys These keys let you choose the program that the REV500 will use to process the input sound. The TYPE key selects the type of effect program to be used: HALL, ROOM, PLATE, or SPECIAL.
Page 6: Rear Panel, Installation And Connections
Mount the REV500 in a rack, or place it in a location where it is safe and stable. Make sure that the POWER switch is off before making any connections. Plug in the power cord, and connect the REV500's input and output connectors to your mixer, multitrack recorder, or other audio equipment using appropriate cables.

Press the PRESET/USER key to switch between the preset and user program memory areas. When you first use the REV500, you will find that both memory areas contain the same selection of programs. The contents of the USER memory will gradually change as you edit programs and store the results, as explained in the following chapter.

Page 14: Internal Parameter List
Internal Parameter List This section contains lists of the internal parameters for each effect type, together with a block diagram illustrating how the effect works. Since it is also possible to control internal parameters in realtime using MIDI Control Change messages, the corresponding controller numbers are also included in the lists. COMMON The internal parameters in the following table are common to all effect types.
Page 15
REVERB ➔ RESONATOR In this effect type, the output from the reverb is fed into a resonator. Parameter Ctrl. No. Range SENS 1 — 10 RESO 0 — 100 [%] DECAY 6 — 24000 [ms] 0 — 100 [%] REVERB ➔ DYNAMIC FILTER In this effect type, the output from the reverb is fed into a dynamic filter.
Page 16
REVERB + CHORUS This effect type, the source sound is processed separately by both the reverb and a chorus effect. The results of this parallel processing are then mixed for output. Note that in this effect type, the LPF and HPF (see COMMON parameters, above) are applied immediately before the PRE DELAY.
Page 17: Saving Edited Programs
To save a program, press the STORE key. The program number in the LCD will begin to flash, and the REV500 will ask you if it's okay to store the program. (If you are editing a preset program, the memory area indicator under the program number will automatically change to USER.)

Book Description:
Measuring the quality of a complex service like critical care that combines the highest technology with the most intimate caring is a challenge. Recently, con sumers, clinicians, and payers have requested more formal assessments and comparisons of the quality and costs of medical care [2). Donabedian [1) pro posed a framework for thinking about the quality of medical care that separates quality into three components: structure, process, and outcome. An instructive analogy for understanding this framework is to imagine a food critic evaluating the quality of a restaurant. The critic might comment on the decoration and lighting ofthe restaurant, how close the tables are to each other, the extent ofthe wine list and where the chef trained. These are all evaluations of the restaurant structure. In addition, the critic might comment on whether the service was courteous and timely - measures of process. Finally, the critic might comment on outcomes like customer satisfaction or food poisoning. Similarly, to a health care critic, structure is the physical and human resources used to deliver medi cal care. Processes are the actual treatments offered to patients. Finally,outcomes are what happens to patients, for example, mortality, quality of life,and satisfac tion with care (Table 1). There is a debate about which of these measurements is the most important measure of quality.

Judge overturns Arkansas's obviously unconstitutional 12-week abortion ban
By Maya | Published: March 17, 2014
TweetLast year, Arkansas state legislators overrode a governor's veto in order to secure the dishonor of having the most blatantly unconstitutional abortion ban in the country. Guess what prize comes with that title? Having the courts strike it down. Surprise! Tweet

For those who don't already know, I'ma be a daddy.
Who the fuck awarded this any award at all? I mean I love it but come on. $7 at my local IGA. Bless.
Poker night.
And here's Bridie (who I recently realised is a boy) eating an adult quail.
Another photo for scale. The spider web tattoo irony is noted.
First time I've seen him out of his burrow in a while. He's grown a fair bit. I'm hopeful he'll double in size in a couple years if I keep feeding him right.
What the fuck is up with Winnie's face?
Bridie is on to large rats now too :3
Bridie didn't like the small Canadian boys I got her but fuck me if she doesn't love rats.
New Doctor? I approve!
Made a ghetto snakes and ladders board. I'm the battery, Sania is the paper clip.
Eagerly awaiting the chariot race.
Oh hey guys, thanks for the rat.

Big mistake to switchBy Oliver Dutton, posted: Sep 25I switched from Verizon to save about 30 dollars a month. Huge mistake. I went from never dropping calls, to losing calls daily. Whats more, my G2 stopped working a few months after I got it. TMobile sent me a new phone and gave me an envelope to ship my broken phone back. A few weeks later they told me that the phone had water damage and would not be covered by the warranty. My phone has never been in water. Susan, the customer service rep says it must be from the humidity in Florida.

servive is crapBy Sherri Cramer, posted: Sep 23I have been with T-Mobile for over 7 years. I don't typically upgrade my phones but I did 2 years ago. My contract ends in 3 months. I have contacted them on a few occasions because my phone freezes, drops calls and I lose service a lot..they offered to upgrade my phone HOWEVER that would require a new contract AND pay the full amount of the phone but with an EIP plan. Umm, yea that's not what I call an upgrade. I am beyond over the crap service I get and p.o.s. phone I have. I will be changing carriers after being with them for so long..see ya, bye!

4g you say?By byetmo, posted: Sep 23Start off to say I've been with t-mobile for over 12 years. I can always make a call even when I'm on others towers. What they don't say in the 4g sales pitch is that they only have it in metro areas. I am fine with that and don't use hardly any data but their tower network rely on at&t and others and is limited to 10mb of data a month for data when roaming. I normally don't need that or even use it. Well I recently needed it for emergency purposes and was shut off. I have spoke with customer relations,loyalty department and all I was given was a option to increase my bill. No! As a loyal customer I feel very let down. I am canceling my service with t-mobile and switching my phone to another gsm carrier that actually puts up and maintains towers.

Good service poor supportBy Kelland Peng, posted: Sep 18The thing about T mobile is that they have good service bundles, cheap and ok quality, for about 30 bucks you get unlimited talk text and 1G of Data each month, which is the best among all carriers. but they have some serious management problems, they can't even transfer their numbers right, and most of the time you get pretty bad customer service because of their poor knowledge and bad company terms. I will still be a Tmobile customer for the service, but have to say it's a pain to deal with them when something happens. However, in the end, no customer service is going to be worse than ATT's.

THEY ARE A DISGRACEBy Kieron Price, posted: Sep 7After taking out a £35 a month contract from t-mobile alone they were fantastic signal everywhere but after 4 months they did that DISGRACE to networking EE. Then the problems start my signal locally disappeared, called to get it sorted uncountable times just to be fobbed off as an idiot. Some poor excuses included copper was stolen from my local tower, the weather in my area must be bad, even though the sky was blue and clear no magnetic or static either. So i called to cancel the contract as it was unusable and other networks would not let me take another out as i had one with EE well 3 (bro and mum) so after a stupid amount of calls time and messing about i got told it would be cancelled for free as they had turned the local towers off to save money!! a few weeks later i ring again to check on the cancel date and i then get told i will have a bill for £200. SO PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THESE LYING, STEALING MONSTERS WHO WANT NOTHING BUT YOUR CASH.

T-Mobile is selling used smart phones for a full-price!!!By Irene Bausman, posted: Sep 5My NEW Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone broke after 2 months of use. On 8/31/2014 I called T-Mobile customer support and the tech cleared cache from the phone. This did not work and the technician reset the phone to its original state. The smart phone is still not operational. The technician then proceeded on offering to send a used "replacement" phone to me. I have asked for a new phone, since my phone was only 2 months old. I was told that that was not possible. We have the so called "Jump" insurance/warranty that is supposed to take care of such issues where a will NEW replacement phone will be provided or the balance that is owed on the phone would be paid in full. WHAT a LIE! I still owe $657.28 for my unusable Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (loved that phone while it worked). T-Mobile gave me a brand new $160 LG L90 phone that is supposedly compatible to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I was lied to. Once I've received the "Compatible" phone I've called T-Mobile Customer Service again and requested to speak to a manager right of way. I spoke to a supervisor, who was very helpful but she could not do anything for me and she emailed a manager who is supposed to call me to resolve this issue. Today is Friday, September 05, 2014 and I am still waiting on the call from the manager. In the meantime, I do not have a working phone! Is this the way to care for loyal customers who have been with T-Mobile for 14 years? It is time to part ways with T-Mobile.

HorribleBy Rachel Sanders, posted: Sep 3I've had this phone for 8 months my biggest problem is the phone battery doesn't even last 6 hours, and I have nothing running on it. The phone is SLOW, service goes from full service to none at all when it hasn't moved. I paid over $100 for this OneTouch Fierce. The only reason I stay is because I can't afford $200 a month for two lines

Poor Customer ServiceBy Peter Charles Williams, posted: Aug 29As a family we've had T-Mobile for 3 months and since the inception we've had problems. These problems include: 1) The phones not working as they should. 2) Returning a phone to T-Mobile, getting an email that the phone has been received then still being billed for the phone and its service. 3) Spoke to about 20 different reps in various departments alone with supervisors but were told T-Mobile has no records of the phone being received, as they continued to bill us. Although we had email proving this phone was received by T-Mobile, they even suggested we must have sent back an empty box and still have the phone. Finally we got an email address to forward the email we got from their warehouse that the phone was received. A collective time of about 10 hours over a period of 2 months, problem is fixed and for our troubles we got a credit of $50 4) Although the T-Mobile representatives and their supervisors sounded sympathetic to our plight and even sounding sincere as they would promise to investigate and calling us back, staying with you until the problem is resolved, they never followed through. You won't have to explain this to anyone else they would say, and then transfer to another department where we'll have to start our story all over again. My wife has not had any service on her phone for the past 5 days. She needs this phone for school (getting her Double Master's degree), for her Job as a nurse and to communicate with my son's school, in case of an emergency. We had to purchase service from Boost Mobile on one of our old phones, cost $50.00 for my wife To date, after about 5 hours, collective time, talking to 4 technical support reps that troubleshoot the phone, the problem still exist Conclusion T-Mobile has: Very attractive TV ads Nice phones Poor costumer service Extremely high degree of inefficiency Untrained or not very skilled technical support service reps High degree of incompetence even at supervisory and management levels. And an unwillingness to compensate customers for the injury suffered due to T-Mobile's incompetence. DON'T WALK! RUN TO ANY OTHER CARRIER! DO NOT GET T-MOBILE!!! YOU'LL BE VERY SORRY!!!

With your severence and benefits that you are eligable for I would take some more time to decide. Or keep looking for something perfect. You may want to go back in a year or six months. I can't see you being happy with delayed progress for too long. You have very high retirement goals. But give yourself some more time and see how things go. You can afford that at the very least.

I know this is a little off of your post, but I was thinking of teaching some courses either at the local community college or online.
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 8:49pm
I have a major of my Masters in Finance, but because I have not held that postion in a firm, I can't teach it.
Just go to your local community college and ask what they need, that is the easiest way.
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 8:56pm
Well good news today was a nice tax refund that will help beef up our emergency fund! It will also pay our car insurance for 6 months, can't wait to get the kids off that at some point.
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 10:01pm
I think I know exactly what you are talking about.
And judging from your posts, I think our spouses make a similar income.
I've elected to stay at home for a good portion of our marriage.
|Tue, 03-27-2012 - 9:04am
We just found out we are getting over $4k in federal refunds, so I will drop that on debt and emergency funds next month.
Unlike most folks, I never have had extended time off. I went back to work less than 3 weeks after my daughter was born and that was the only time off I had had besides vacations. And I have worked two jobs most of my adult life, or gone to school and worked to get my Masters.
I am also pretty tired right now, but it is due to my gallbladder, which we found now has stones that are backed into my bile duct and causing all kinds of high liver counts, and white blood cell counts. This guy comes out Friday!
The budget I worked out includes spending money, truck savings for Dh - which he has been doing since his truck was payed off, my car payment rounded way up, over payments of that CC, college fees and no income from our little cabin we can rent out and hope to be able to pay all our taxes and insurance from this summer.
I would only get unemployment on a month I made less than $1600, as I think I would be looking for a job regardless, but I would not take something just because, as I have done in the past.
My issue is that I don't want to work the full time 8-5 at an office anymore, with the commute, etc. And DH does not want that either, so we are going to try to find ways to make it work for us.
|Tue, 03-27-2012 - 2:16pm
Well you still have some time to think things over . . . and crunch the numbers . . . and test run your new arrangment . . . and crunch the numbers again . . . and then decide.
I do have to say that I've had extended periods of working AND extended periods of not working.
