Prostate massage, or prostate "milking," is the act of stimulating the male prostate gland for sexual or medical purposes. Regular prostate massage can reduce the risk of prostatitis, as well as help increase seminal fluid and circulation, among other things.
There is no shortage of explicit videos about the topic on websites like XTube or PornMD, which we encourage you to explore for yourself. YouTube also has a fair share of family friendly prostate massage videos, many of which tend to be rather strange and, at times, terrifying.
Scroll down to see some of the weirdest prostate massage videos we could find… if you dare.
"So where do you find a man's prostate?" pleasure coach Bob Patrick casually narrates. "Look in the refrigerator!"
Bizarre water bottle analogies aside, this video is actually kind of informative. Although we could do without the enema demonstration at the end.
Self-proclaimed "professional prostate massage therapist" Jonah Sterling demonstrates the ideal positioning for prostate massage using a miniature latex butt.
In our opinion, Michelle is waaaay too excited to talk about prostate massage in her video titled "Please Let Me Teach You About Prostate Milking!"
Okay, this video is just creepy. The computerized woman's voice repeatedly using the word "milk" as a verb has us wanting a Silkwood shower stat.
In case you aren't terrified enough already, check out this 43-second CGI prostate massage horror movie complete with ominous lighting and dark, impending music. This one may actually give us nightmares.
As an elderly gay man with mild prostate problems (no cancer), I have to say it hurts when I get my yearly digital exam from my urologist. I've done my share of getting fucked in the past, but it was never my favorite trick. Wish I could believe these claims of great plesure from prostate milking, but past experience makes me afraid to even try it.
I think this is basically what happens when you "fuck the cum out of someone."
Ass fucking, or Prostate, fucking is for straight men who don`t want their waifs to know they get fucked.
It does feel amazing it is nice to see straight men accept their body and the pleasure it provides.
Thanks for the stupid article…idiot. The last video is dead – remove this article from the Internet.

So how do you even spell the letter W?
I went to the middle half of PAX Prime! Yay, me!
I came back with a bunch of free stuff and a 2x2 Rubik's cube which was also free and is PAX-branded.
The coolest thing that I got, however, was not free. It cost a flat $50, and was worth every penny (also, the $5 tax.).
I got the D&D 5E Player's Handbook! (play Legend of Zelda item-get noise)
I like the system a lot, but I have pages and pages of blogpost to say about that, and I haven't the patience to record my thoughts.
Since the last "Stuff" had a list of games that I had been playing, here's another one!
And some short thoughts on each.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is so much unlike the previous games in the series that I don't think it should be classified as such. It's basically a stealth FPS where you collect bounties to fund a mysterious surgery.
However, after about two-thirds of the game, the story REALLY kicks off, and that moment is why the game is good for me. I'd really rather not spoil any of it, so if you want to find it out, go and get it on Steam and play it. It's not that long (I finished it in maybe 15 hours? I don't quite know) and the gameplay isn't bad at all, really.
Minecraft… well, everybody knows Minecraft. I got a friend to play for a little while with me, and we had a lot of fun.
I already talked about Delver (see Stuff I), but it got updated with a new leveling system and shields + lanterns. It's a really cool game, and every update fundamentally changes something and makes the game worth finishing again.
Thanks for reading!
I've been reading about C++ recently for some reason, and decided that the much-wanted sequel* (wanted by my parents, that is) was long overdue.
So here it is! C++ Panda Tycoon, the glorious game about destroying the panda species!
You play as a zoo manager, and make money by buying pandas and going on tour.
The game is played via MS-DOS console, and will only take up 72 KB of your hard-drive space. It can be downloaded here.
Since those on my blog are precious followers, here are some insider tips on the game… but they're all just little easter-eggs in the code. They're sort of spoilers, so don't look until you've finished the game.
If you get an error, please submit it via my ask box, because I want people to play the game.
Known bug: When buying lots of petting zoo, sometimes the game crashes. Fix: Try not to say "buy petting buy petting buy petting" or anything like that.
Here they are: the hidden commands, not even shown in the game.
>write >Elbereth
You're welcome!
Thank you very much for trying out the game!
Also, I'm afraid that the original game is not accessible due to intense decompilation and rust and I don't know how to make it into a .exe.
EDIT: so it turns out that I compiled it wrong and you'll need to have Visual Studio 2010 Express actually on your computer. If you want to… *shrug*
*I hope to number these kinds of posts in Roman numerals.
This is kind of an update on things that I can remember that happened, so it's by no means comprehensive.
First of all, I got Gunpoint while it was on sale. It's a stealth puzzle game, but I've only just now sat down to play it, so I can't say much about it other than that I was actually following it during development, so that's kind of neat, I guess!
Second! I went through the top rated Morrowind mods on Planet Elder Scrolls and installed the ones that I liked the idea of, so I'm playing through a very interesting Morrowind, with rank-related services, parrying weapons and other such changes, although those are the most remarkable by far.
Third! Nothing else. I might even do these regularly-ish!
My math teacher called me average.
How mean.
Here's a list of the video games that I've played most often over the past month or so!
…and small reviews of each!
StarCraft: Brood War is the expansion pack to the original StarCraft, released in the same year. It adds a few new units and a new campaign mode to the game, which was already a fantastic real-time strategy game. It takes place in a fictional representation of the future, and depicts intrigue in a setting inhabited by three predominant races: the Terrans, closest to humans; the Protoss, religious psychic guys; and the Zerg, most easily likened to Gyger's 1979 Aliens.
It was revolutionary for its three completely different styles of play and for its expansion on its predecessors, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, and Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. It also made an impact on…
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, a real-time strategy game which expands yet again on Blizzard's RTS formula by adding on a clump of action RPG elements in, via the Hero mechanic. It takes place in a fantasy rendition of the Middle Ages, and has four races instead of three: the Humans, the Orcs, the Undead, and the Night Elves. Its mechanics borrow from StarCraft's races, making it a little bit like if one stuck StarCraft in a blender and made it 3D. However, the 3D is REALLY nice, especially for 2002! The cinematics rival present-day CGI in quality, and the story is really good!
Command & Conquer: Generals is the seventh installment in the C&C series, which started in 1995. It also has faction-based gameplay (hmm… seeing a pattern in good RTS games?), but happens in the real-life modern day, with a few fantastical elements. The factions are the USA, China, and the GLA (which my father says stands for Global Liberation… jerks), which are all as absurdly silly and biased as one might expect (I don't really know any ESL Chinese people, but I think that they actually CAN speak English… like, at all…), which reaches its peak at the GLA, who are terrorists. Just plain terrorists, right down to the bulk suicide bombers. I don't really think that anybody could get away with this nowadays… but anyway, the game! Erm. Well, I haven't ACTUALLY played the game too much. I've only played as the USA for the practice mission, and only played the first 2 China campaign missions, and not even played as the GLA… it'll come in time.
Delver is an alpha-stage indie game on Steam Early Access which is a first-person roguelike in which you must retrieve the Yithidian Orb from a 7-level-deep dungeon. This is a rather difficult task, accentuated by the ascending difficulty as you move carefully down through the labyrinth, slay the Lich who guards the Orb, the rush back upwards as the high-level enemies who populated the 7th level begin to spread throughout the dungeon. It's really a very good game, especially for Early Access, and has some really nice pixel art graphics. I recommend it, especially at its low price of $8.
Finally, OpenArena, as advertised, is just a Quake 3 clone, so I suppose that I'm really reviewing Q3. It's a FPS, simple as that. It occurs in a vaguely science-fiction setting, and has literally no plot. I'm only in it to rocket-jump pirouette onto some poor guy's head and then do the same thing over and over. Yeah, it's in the "rocket jump, yippee!" vein of FPS as opposed to "gritty, modern FPS with teh 9-year-olds". Really, it's good fun, and I recommend it, especially at its low price of… what's that? It's completely free and open-source? Cool!
So… about the "update". Well, nothing much has happened recently. I've been eating oatmeal a lot more recently, and my grandfather's just left for his home in Ontario. My birthday's coming up on May 31st, and I've been researching StarCraft 2 as my father looks up how violent it is and talks over it with my mother. My views on the affair are not to be shared, as they both read this blog.
I've also started to read R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt Do'Urden series of novels, which are quite good, and set in the Forgotten Realms universe, a Dungeons & Dragons setting which brings me to another rekindled interest (other than oatmeal): D&D! It's fun! I DM for my parents every weekend, and yeah, it's good fun!
In conclusion, I've been doing exactly the same thing as usual: nothing. I hope that I post another one of these kinds of things soonish… good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight, everybody!
so my mom had this cyst on her ovary her freshman year of college so she got surgery to get it removed and after they removed it thERE WAS LIKE TEETH AND HAIR AND MISCELLANEOUS BONES IN IT AND THEY TOLD HER SHE ABSORBED HER TWIN IN THE WOMB and that's why i'm scared of my mom

It's just occurred to me that everything that I've "promised" to do on this blog recently has all but stopped.
New Monsters: Stopped after the first two weeks
Adventures: Didn't even start
Oh well.
As an update on what I'm doing in life: I bought the Pathfinder Core Rulebook + Bestiary a few weeks ago.

text: The Theatre September 27, 2004 Issue Collateral Damage David Hare on the march to war in Iraq. Table of Contents "I don't do nuance," President Bush has reportedly said. Fortunately, David Hare does. Although he is sometimes sniffy about journalism—he titled his own volume of feuilletons "Writing Left-Handed"—Hare functions best as a dramatist when he assumes the role of reporter and allows his intellectual curiosity to override his literary immodesty. For more than a decade, his plays have brought us news from the inner sanctums of power: the Anglican Church ("Racing Demon," 1990), the legal system ("Murmuring Judges," 1991), the Labour Party ("The Absence of War," 1993), and the management of the British railways ("The Permanent Way," 2003). Now, in his best political play yet, "Stuff Happens" (at London's Royal National Theatre), he brings us an exhilarating account of the genesis of the current war in Iraq. On a spare, gray stage dominated by a large blond-wood table to which the actors spring from chairs lined up around the perimeter like so many soldiers on parade, Hare and his director, Nicholas Hytner, marshal with splendid rigor the facts, the personalities, and the issues at play in America's rush to war. The lucid three-hour retelling is a sort of docu-fiction, in which the events, public statements, and segues are all authentic while the behind-closed-doors dialogue is either punched up from known sources or invented. In Hare's version of history, our leaders, who, like the rest of the nation, lost the illusion of invulnerability on September 11, 2001, are compelled to construct for the American people an unambivalent triumphalist fable of revenge. Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are enemies created by America—a point that Secretary of State Colin Powell (Joe Morton) drives home to the President (Alex Jennings) while trying to talk him down from war. "There's an element of hypocrisy, George," Powell says of his boss's argument that Hussein is hiding weapons of mass destruction. "We were trading with the guy! Not long ago. People keep asking, how do we know he's got weapons of mass destruction? How do we know? Because we've still got the receipts." The American leaders, in their desperate search for a heroic narrative, call off the British, who have bin Laden cornered in the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan. "The British Army capturing him would not ring the same bells," Tony Blair (the droll Nicholas Farrell) says, his voice nearly cracking with frustration. From a theatrical point of view, the real Bush is a bad actor. Although everything in his statements is designed to show strength, nothing in his presentation of self does. He cannot sustain the illusion of intellectual command. He is betrayed by his darting eyes, his misspeaking, his inability to improvise, his awkward pigeon-chested swagger. In Texas, that swagger "is called walking," he said at the Republican National Convention, earlier this month; everywhere else, they call it walking on tiptoes. In his portrayal of Bush, Jennings has to work hard to mute his own natural alertness. He has Bush's baby face but not his slow metabolism, which is what allows his characterization to avoid lampoon. Hare wants us to think about Bush, not dismiss him. Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" shows footage of the first seven minutes after Bush got word of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, while sitting in a classroom at a Sarasota, Florida, elementary school; the President appears to sit in a state of almost comic blankness. Bush, however, claims to have been far from blank. "They had declared war on us," he later told Bob Woodward, "and I made up my mind at that moment that we were going to war." In "Stuff Happens," that idée fixe plays strongly beneath the swirl of hand-wringing and executive argy-bargy. In fact, one of the things that Hare shows so well is that thought for Bush is a sort of pseudo event, a posture that carries no weight—thinking is a fuse that has to be blown in order for him to do what he wants to do. We see this best as Bush sits through Powell's eloquent elucidation of the Pottery Barn rule—you break it, you own it—in reference to unilateral action in Iraq. Bush's opaque form of listening is a kind of vamping. His terse responses follow the General's argument, but he doesn't appear to take it in. Morton's Powell is perhaps a little overwrought for a general who keeps on his desk the motto "Never let them see you sweat"; nonetheless, he's impressive. Of the entire cast of characters, Powell, who was not asked by the President to weigh in on the final decision to go to war, emerges with his dignity the most intact. Hare has a sharp eye for ironic detail, and he knows a dramatic moment when history throws one at him. When, in order to shore up Blair's precarious political position, the Bush Cabinet is forced to entertain the idea of working toward a second United Nations resolution, the prospect sends the U.N.-hating Vice-President Dick Cheney around the bend. Cheney is well played here by Desmond Barrit, who has a blocky build and a sour, stolid mien—one of the few actors who bear a physical resemblance to the person whose delirium they are portraying. In the scintillating debate that ensues, Cheney argues that Blair is becoming more trouble than he's worth. "It's a good rule," he says. "When the cat shit gets bigger than the cat, get rid of the cat." Still, Hare refuses to turn "Stuff Happens" into a jamboree of self-righteousness. The audience gets its share of laughs—"I didn't even find lunch," the arms inspector David Kay says of his vain search for weapons of mass destruction—but the play smiles with cold teeth. To pass the time between sessions at a Camp David Cabinet meeting, Bush works on a jigsaw puzzle, and Laura Bush (Isla Blair) asks if anyone knows a hymn. The national-security adviser, Condoleezza Rice (Adjoa Andoh), begins to sing "Amazing Grace." The moment, which one expects to be camp, turns out to be poignant. Rice's voice has a vulnerability that the rhetoric of the government does not, and the rest of the Cabinet joins in. By making ambivalence manifest, "Stuff Happens" shows an admirable maturity. Hare is looking for complexity, not self-congratulation, and an inquiry that is history, not agitprop—a strategy that becomes clear in a crucial early scene in which an angry journalist attacks the audience and the author for their "relentless archaic discussion of the manner of the liberation": How obscene it is, how decadent, to give your attention not to the now, not to the liberation, not to the people freed . . . the splendid thing done—freedom given to people who were not free—this thing is ignored, preferring as we do to fight among ourselves—our own disputes, our own resentment of each other elevated way above the needs of the victims. . . . A people hitherto suffering now suffer less. This is the story. No other story obtains. Hare, whose play documents the folly of single solutions, is too canny to settle for one himself. What is the story behind Bush and the war? The oil thing? The Oedipal thing? The imperial thing? The reëlection thing? "Stuff Happens" keeps all of these possibilities in play. Terrorism attacks thought; September 11th made us all—even the Cabinet members—survivors. The political mess that ensued, the play shows, is proof positive that stress makes you stupid. The mind in a hurry sees what it expects or wants to see. The very title of the play—Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's response to the looting and mayhem in Iraq after the invasion—is offensive because it refuses to acknowledge reality, to name pain. "Stuff Happens" goes some way toward rectifying that omission, and that alone makes it a mighty act of antiterrorism. At the finale, an Iraqi exile stands before us on an empty stage. "They came to save us, but they had no plans," he says. "And now the American dead are counted, their numbers recorded, their coffins draped in flags. How many Iraqis have died? How many civilians? No figure is given. Our dead are uncounted." He adds, "Iraq has been crucified. . . . Basically it's a story of a nation that failed in only one thing. . . . It failed to take charge of itself." As the curtain falls, Hare and Hytner leave us with this one last unspoken provocation: no Iraqi would have been free to make such a bold accusation if, seventy-two days after September 11th, Bush hadn't put his arm around Rumsfeld in the White House Situation Room and said, "What kind of war plan do you have for Iraq?" ♦ You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

Continue north on Hwy #5 until it ends at a stop light. Take a left on this highway (HWY 105 NORTH). Continue until you see a Tim Horton's on your right. Presently, there is construction in this region, but continue around the construction with the flow of traffic. Continue on this road (5/105 NORTH), until it comes to an end. DO NOT TAKE A LEFT TOWARDS MASHAM. Eventually, this road will go up a very big hill, then down again, then merge to your right. DO NOT TAKE A LEFT TOWARDS RUPERT OR MASHAM. Continue down the hill towards a set of stop lights. Continue through those stoplights. You will cross the Gatineau River here. This will be HWY 366 EAST. Once on Hwy #366, continue for approximately 5 kilometers, until you reach Ch. de la Montagne. Turn left onto Ch. de la Montagne. Go down this road exactly 1 mile, and Captiva Farms will be the first farm on the left.

New 'IMaX' magnetograph makes observing Sun's magnetic structure possible
A Spanish instrument known as IMaX magnetograph has observed the sun for the formation and evolution of a magnetic flux tubes on its surface.
These tubes are considered to be the building blocks of solar magnetism but their existence had only heretofore been demonstrated indirectly due to their small size.
IMaX was designed to overcome one of the major challenges facing astrophysics today, the solar magnetic field, which manifests itself in many different forms, such as the eleven year cycle, sunspots or solar storms and today, it is considered the key to a deeper understanding of the Sun.
Seen at a scale of one thousand kilometres, the surface of the Sun seems to be governed by granulation, a convective phenomenon similar to the bubbling of boiling water, where low density hot gas rises to the surface; as it cools off, its density increases and the gas descends again.
Jose Carlos del Toro Iniesta, supervisor of Iker S. Requerey's PhD thesis. said that it seemed like the development of the tubes ended there, but they have discovered that they were unstable structures.
Not only they have been able to observe that sequence for the first time, but they have also found an ulterior, unknown phase which deserves to be studied, he added.

The Augustana College Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will be holding a fundraiser tonight during the Augie home basketball games vs. Elmhurst at the Carver Center.
A fire destroyed the home of the Harris family in Rock Island in early January and SAAC has jumped
into action to help out. The Harris family has twin sixth-grade girls and a third-grade boy at Longfellow School in Rock Island, located near the Augie campus.
A table will be set up in the Carver Center lobby throughout the evening for what is being billed as a "penny war.'' Any money raised will be matched by SAAC and given directly to the Harris family.
Longfellow students and families wishing to come to the doubleheader and participate in the "penny war" and donate to help the Harris family's cause will receive free admission to both games.
Augustana has enjoyed a partnership with Longfellow in recent years and SAAC is willing to lend a hand. Many Viking athletes have volunteered at Longfellow through the years through both SAAC and Athletes Giving Back.

Objective Test using Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) are also called OMR Tests. OMR Tests are common these days in various types of Entrance exams like IIT JEE, AIEEE, CPMT, MH-CET, GUJ-CET, CA-CPT, Bank PO, UPSC etc. OMR Test are also taken by various education institutes for entrance and scholarship.
Most educational institutes have started using OMR Sheet based MCQ test pattern for internal and sessional tests also.
In some OMR Test the OMR Sheets have bubbles while in others OMR Sheets have boxes. Candidates are required to fill the circles/bubbles completely while in case of boxes they are required to make a tick mark only.
See OMR Sheet Filling Instructions for OMR Tests.
OMR Tests have different evaluation and marking patterns in different examinations. Some MCQ Tests have Negative marking scheme while others have only positive marks for correct question. Some OMR Tests have complex Marking pattern where different types of marking schemes are applicable on different sections/groups of MCQs or Multiple choice questions.
Optical Mark Recognition (OMR), is the scanning of paper sheets to detect pen or pencil mark made at a specific position. It is widely used in MCQ Examination, Surveys, Assessments and Recruitment.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Pairing a new approach to prepare ancient DNA with a new scientific technique developed specifically to genotype a cow, an MU animal scientist, along with a team of international researchers, created a very accurate and widespread "family tree" for cows and other ruminants, going back as far as 29 million years. This genetic information could allow scientists to understand the evolution of cattle, ruminants and other animals. This same technique also could be used to verify ancient relatives to humans, help farmers develop healthier and more efficient cattle, and assist scientists who are studying human diseases, according to the research, which is being published in this week's edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
"We studied 678 different animals, representing 61 different species, and using the new Illumina cow 'SNP chip,' or 'snip chip,' we were able to generate some very precise genetic data for which the chip was not designed," said Jerry Taylor, a professor of animal science in the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resource and lead author of the study. "Our SNP chips allow scientists to examine hundreds of thousands of points on an animal's genome simultaneously. When we applied this technique to 48 recognized breeds of cattle, we were able to construct a family tree and infer the history of cattle domestication and breed formation across the globe."
The research revealed the history of European cattle, with domesticated cattle moving sequentially through Turkey, the Balkans and Italy, then spreading through Central Europe and France, and ending in Britain. The scientists also found evidence supporting a second route of ancient cattle into Europe by way of the Iberian Peninsula.
The applications for this technology and information discovered in the research could help solve a number of problems and answer questions about evolution, including how humans ar

Yes,you know the rules
Don't know if it's considered a call but it works great.
Read a very interesting article over here in a mag. about calls and how deer in a group can differentuate between various individuals in that group, and how they respond to calls from older stags as compared to younger ones. Generally the younger stag calls got the most response but it was as 'lets flee' reaction rather than bringing them up closer to the caller. With such perception it may be counter productive to use the calls.
I used a old grunt call on a nice 6 pointer,pulled it away from a doe and it jumped a fence,got within 35-40yds of me but i never got a shot off.Did work though.
I don't use any calls, but my mother has had great success getting deer with her Fords:D:D

NEW CASTLE – Playing a tough opponent in a strange neutral court situation Saturday, Lawrenceburg boys basketball gutted it out for a 60-58 win.
Matched with a deceptively 2-5 North Decatur team in the five-game New Castle Fieldhouse Showcase – in the world's largest high school basketball gym, a long way from home in snowy Henry County - coach John Blackwell's Tigers evened their season mark at 4-4 with a third-straight win.
"We played really well in stretches and poorly in others," said Blackwell, whose LHS varsity opens the River Town Classic tonight (Thursday) at South Dearborn against 1-6 Rising Sun.
"We gave up a big lead and let them get back into the game, mainly because of our free throw shooting and missed opportunities on offense. But our defense and our poise and determination at the end made the difference. We were real excited to get out of their with the win."
While coach Bob Nobbe's always-tough Chargers – four of whose losses coming in went to teams with a combined record of 27-1 – were busy gawking at what a 9,325-seat fieldhouse looks like with just a few hundred fans in the stands, Tigers dashed out to a 20-8 first quarter lead.

Marc A. on dual-class stock structures
Marc Andreessen - currently near, and possibly at, the top of my "favorite bloggers" list - has a fascinating post today praising the virtues of dual-class stock structures. The really short version: they're good because they allow the founders (or whoever has the voting power) to ignore short-term market noise and incentives and stay focused on long-term objectives, thus increasing the company's value for all shareholders.
While I agree with much of what he says, I want to make a few objections.
- Ignoring short-term market signals isn't necessarily a good thing. Does the market exhibit Brownian motion? Sure. Often, though, it's telling you that you're going in the wrong direction. E.g., the market has effectively said that Yahoo's shareholders would have been better off taking MSFT's bid. Yahoo has ignored that statement, likely to its' shareholders' detriment.
- Marc is implicitly asserting that the founders will have a better sense for the long-term direction than will the market - and that assunmption is often going to be wrong. First of all, the wisdom of founders can vary pretty widely. Second, even if the founders are pretty smart, there are cases when the market is smarter. Jerry's a sharp guy. Did he make the right choice over the last few weeks? The market says "no", and my instincts agree.
These two points can end up being semi-religious discussions about market efficiency, blah blah blah. I tend to believe in market efficiency - or, at least, the notion that the market is smarter than most people, most of the time - but it's a reasonable debate, and one could also suggest that short-term market noise & incentives creates some sort of "friction" that destroys value for typical companies, even if the pricing signals are accurate on average. In any case, however, my biggest concern with Marc's argument is this: that goals are, very often, not terribly well-aligned. Marc correctly notes that alignment of goals is key, and includes at the end a set of conditions for dual-class structures to work effectively:
The third point is the one that seems quite suspect to me. Even if they're in the same boat from a share-price perspective, their goals can be quite different. Founders who are already rich may be driven by ego - to take a longshot at creating the most valuable company ever, to enjoy the power of running a big organization, to be in the press all the time - or other factors, that may at times indicate directions quite different from those that would maximize economic return to shareholders. (Founders who aren't rich might have a strong incentive to cash out quickly and retire, when building a long-term company might be optimal.)
"Treating all other shareholders fairly" is a nice principle, but in the end, the controlling voters will maximize their interests, and share-price alignment doesn't mean that overall goals are truly aligned.
This doesn't mean that I oppose dual-class structures, by the way. If I were an entrepreneur and I could get such a structure (and still raise enough capital), I'd do it too (that way, I get to maximize my own interests, right?). … and if, as Marc says, there's no bait-and-switch - i.e., all investors buy in knowing the structure - then there's no ethical problem. The question is whether or when it's a superior structure for maximizing the value of the company, and that's where my concerns above apply.

The World at Seven BillionRobert Walker, '73, JDTuesday, March 197 p.m., Maddox Theatre, Clark Arts Center
Robert Walker is the President of the Population Institute, where he directs the organization's advocacy and public education activities, including its work on issues related to health, economic development, sustainability and the environment. Previously, he served for three years as President of Handgun Control, Inc. and the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, and four years as legislative director at Handgun Control, where he led the lobbying campaigns that led to the successful passage of the Brady Law and the federal assault weapons ban.
Mr. Walker received his B.A. in Economics from Rockford College and his J.D. from the University Of Illinois School Of Law. He attended the University of Sydney in Australia under a Rotary graduate fellowship. Mr. Walker's presentation will examine what projected population growth means for people, posterity, and the planet. He will discuss how rapid population growth in the least developed countries is frustrating efforts to eliminate hunger and abolish severe poverty. He will talk about the impact that climate change, water scarcity, and the rising costs of food and energy are likely to have on the UN's Millennium Development Goals and future development prospects. He will also emphasize that the UN population projections, though widely accepted, are not written in stone, and that even small changes in fertility rates could dramatically affect future population projections.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend as many events as desired. With the exception of the theatre productions, forum events are offered at no charge. All lectures and performances take place on the Rockford College campus, 5050 East State Street, Rockford. Tickets are required for all events. Please contact the Rockford College Box Office at 815-226-4100 or firstname.lastname@example.com to reserve your tickets or for more information.

The "new" drivetrain starts with a '48 Flathead, built as close to original specs as possible by Art Chrisman. Oddly enough, while the Hop Up feature states the 59A was equipped with Edelbrock heads and a Weiand 4x2 intake, from the one detail shot of the engine it appears the heads are Weiands and the intake a triple deuce. Be that as it may (or may not), Chrisman topped the Tony Baron–machined Merc block with a set of polished Navarro heads. And once again, a Weiand intake was used, however, this time recreation more closely mimicked the old printed lore—four Stromberg 81s rather than a trio of 97s. The motor also features Arias pistons, an Isky 404 Jr. cam, Vertex mag (redone by Joe Hunt), and Belond chromed headers.
For the transmission, Kerry enlisted Brian Higgins of S&K Speed on the East Coast to prepare a '39 Toploader with Zephyr gears and the same truck flywheel/clutch setup found in the original car. A '34 torque tube connects the old Halibrand quick-change to the gearbox, while a forward-mounted '40 Ford spring and tube shocks hang the rearend from the chassis. Supporting those same 'rails up front are an undropped but drilled, transverse-sprung '34 I-beam bouncing off inboard-mounted Houdaille shocks while being located by tubular radius rods. Steering is still controlled by a modified Franklin box—with the draglink hidden discretely beneath the shapely nose piece. Rolling stock is similar 7.50-16 Firestone Indy tires front and rear, mounted on chromed '40 Ford steelies re-hooped by Stockton Wheel.
As mentioned, the 1952 crash caused quite a bit of damage to the car, namely to the '27 T rear section, as you can see by the shot of Kerry standing with the crumpled mess (as well as the framework for the nose, the condition of which indicating that the front half of the car fared much better). That said, the main restoration would be no easy task, a job Kerry relied on Springfield, Ohio's Classic Craft Motorsports to handle appropriately. It helped greatly that they had decent reference material: outtakes and some of the actual photographs used in the Hop Up article that Don Orosco had previously acquired from the late Dean Batchelor—who, coincidentally was the editor at the time the original feature was published, and though no byline was listed, is said to have written the feature in the first place. From the "slip-on" hand-shaped nose (with its aluminum Sprint car–style grille piece) to the intricate, three-piece full-length belly pan—all gloriously covered in glass-like black paint—Hagemann's original work of art was indeed brought back to life. But it doesn't stop at the exterior body panels, not by a long shot.
Kerry admits it took just as much in-depth research and photo-referencing to re-emulate the roadster's interior—right down to the original "C-O-Two" fire extinguisher and correct-era military aircraft seatbelts. While the confines may be a bit spiffier now, the cockpit's early traits are all present, including the Sun tach/Stewart-Warner gauges, fuel pressure pump, and '40 Ford steering with a Little Bo Peep style shifter swooping gracefully below.
Given its lack of historical reference—and, for the most part, significance—it's a wonder the Dal Porto Lakester still exists. But exist it does, and thanks to Kerry Horan, it does so in all its former glory … and then some.

Delco Green Eye?
filed in 1979 Corvette
The trickle charge did very little to bring the battery to a full state of charge. Delco batteries prefer to be charged hot and heavy. The black usually returns after a good solid charge of about 2-3 hours. I usually don't worry too much about the eye, it only tells you the state of charge in that one cell.
I had an AC Delco battery for my 88 Dodge aries and the green hydrometer eye died out too (well, it wasnt green anymore, just black) and I too see the green come up slightly when you shake the battery. However, the battery is unfortunately dead. Not entirely dead, but from what I experienced, it was at first less than 5% of power but the car still
started (very very slowly), and after charging, running the car, etc.. all I could get was 65% – 75% of power. Which eventually went down to 5% again. So I just went out and got a new battery. I have just taken my 1979 Corvette out of heated winter storage (5 months). The AC Delco battery was new last August and the car stored in November. The battery was disconnected in storage and not charged during the five months. I put it on trickle charge this week for about 12 hours as a precaution. All seems fine after about 50 miles of driving: good cranking, lights etc. However, the hydrometer "eye" is black, not green as it should be. Will the green come back or is this terribly important to begin with? Back to dealer for check under Delco warranty? If I nudge the battery gently, the green eye appears for several seconds, then goes away. I have had this car for 14 years and through a number of batteries but have not seen this situation before. Would appreciate thoughts/advice. No wait, it's not a piece of plexiglass or a mini-hygrometer, the
famous Delco 'Green Eye' is actually a miniature satellite transponder linked directly to the Delco 'Charge Center' in Anderson, Indiana.
The transponder has sensors that monitor the precise chemical reaction taking place in your battery….that information is beamed over a Microwave link to the Delco 'Charge Center'. There a team of electrochemical engineers analyze the data and then shout out: "Black!" "Yellow!" or "Green!" to the 'Charge Command Center'.
The Command Center then transmits the appropriate signal to the Green Eye transponder and it emits the correct color. This process is repeated once an hour. Thus you assume that your Delco battery is just sitting there under your hood …..when in-fact it's being constantly monitored by a team of Nobel-Prize winning scientists.

Update Internet Explorer's look for 10.3
Its all well and good to dismiss IE, however several ADSL routers which I have to use will only work with IE. Unpredictable results in Safari, or they just plain refuse to load the admin screens. Shame really.
