First Timers to NOLA rate my plans so far.
My wife and I will be travelling to NOLA for the first time in two weeks. We are staying at the Windsor Court hotel. Here is what we have planned so far. The only thing that's untouchable is that we will definitely be going to Restaurant August Thursday night, and we do want to eat at Commader's Palace (currently we have a dinner reservation for Saturday, but would be willing to change it to a lunch reservation).
All other reservations can be changed. Two questions in addition to more suggestions. Is Parasol's close enough to where we'll be to go to, and if not where can we get a good roast beef po'boy closer? If Commader's is better for lunch where would be a nice place for dinner that night as it is our anniversary. thanks in advance! Looking so forward to visiting your fair city.
So far this is what we have:
9/10 Thursday
Lunch: Parasols?
Dinner: Restaurant August @ 7:30
Friday 9/11
Breakfast: cafe du Monde
Lunch : Herbesaint @ 1PM
Dinner: ?
Saturday 9/12
Breakfast: ?
Lunch: ?
Dinner: Commander's Place @ 7 PM
Sunday 9/13
Breakfast: ?
Lunch: ?
Dinner: Luke @ 7:30 PM
I definitely suggest Mother's for a roast beef po-boy. It is absolutely delicious. Mother's is touristy, but the "debris" po-boy is worth the wait. It is the debris that falls off the roast while it is cooking. You won't be disappointed.
I also have to recommend Brigtsen's for dinner, possibly Friday night. Other options are Pelican Club, Galatoire's (one of my personal favorites), Jacques-Imo's and Cuvee.
I think your anniversary dinner at Commanders is a lovely idea. I think you will also enjoy Luke. Looks like you have a nice weekend planned. laisses le bon temps rouler!
re: mississippigirl
I personally do not care for the debris poboy at Mother's. People either swear by Mother's or could care less for it, I fall into the latter category.
Parasol's is good, is it the best roast beef in the city, that's open for quite the debate as a search on the board will show you. If you saw it on DDD on the food channel, one of my friends was interviewed while eating the roast beef poboy there. She absolutely loves it and eats there at least once a week. It's a short cab ride to get to from the quarter, so very easy to get to.
re: mississippigirl
Let's clarify so kimfair1 will know: Jacques-Imo's is not in the same category of the others in your list, much more casual, on some nights even tending toward rowdy (fun-rowdy, but definitely not intimate or romantic). The place is always mobbed and they don't take reservations for only two people; a wait on a weekend night could be hours. People either love or really dislike this place. I'm not sure it would be a good choice for a first-time visit. I like it fine (hubby hates it), btw, but I think Cochon's food is much better--and it takes reservations.
re: nomadchowwoman
Jacques-Imo's is a must if you are ok with casual and having a few drinks while you wait. The owner, Jack, is quite a character and committed to make sure people are having a great time. The street outside was closed and under major construction a/o spring-09 and he had temporary tables set up on the street. But as the person above stated, this is a CASUAL place and very different fromt the other spots on your dinner agenda.
re: mississippigirl
mississippigirl - I almost thought you were me (haha) - read your info and I can't sew or grow things, either! At all. The debris po-boy at Mother's is the best, tho' we haven't been back since Katrina. Galatoire's and Pelican Club were two of our faves, too. And Bayona.
We've got to take that trip more often! - Paula from MS coast -
re: mississippigirl
Couldn't disagree more about Mother's.
re: nikinik
I've had Mother's several times (had no choice, had to serve my federal jury time). I had dry roast beef, greasy jambalaya and a very forgettable debris poboy.
re: mrsfury
I have never had a good meal at Mothers. I truly do not get what the hype is all about and why there is ever a line to get in. I found the roast beef to be try as well (worse than Domilises) and nothing up to par. Do they pay Fodor's or other travel books to report how great it is?
I would do a lunch at Commander's or, better, Sunday Brunch there. Some will call me a heretic but I think there are much better places for dinner: Coquette, Brigtsen's,Gautreau's, Bistro Daisy (all would be cab rides as would Commander's) or Iris (walking distance); these are all, in my opinion, charming and romantic as well as fabulous foodwise. I've also heard good things about the upscale restaurant in your hotel (but I've not eaten there in its latest incarnation so it's definitely hearsay).
You are right: August is an absolute must! Enjoy.
Parasol's is not in walking distance, but Johnny's Poboys is, and the poboys there are excellent.
I love Herbsaint, lunch or dinner, but a lunch possibility would be Donald LInk's other restaurant, Cochon, which does what I might call refined Cajun (which is, of course, an oxymoron--but the food is good). Another place we love for lunch is Bacco, in FQ, walking distance.
If you're looking for a casual lunch or snack on a day when you're having a lavish dinner, and you like oysters, Drago's is in the Hilton right near you. Now, this restaurant lacks atmosphere and is not a fine dining spot, and I don't recommend anything but the oysters--raw or char-grilled (and my husband loves the fried oyster brochette; good plain boiled lobster, too, but presumably, you aren't coming to NOLA to eat Maine lobster). The char-grilled oysters are divine. Lots of hounds hate Drago's for lots of obvious reasons, but Drago's set the standard for char-grilled oysters, imho. I've taken or sent many visiting friends and relatives, with the same disclaimers, and they always love the oysters.
Eat, at the corner of Dauphine & Dumaine in the Quarter does a nice breakfast. It's a good walk from the WC, but very do-able. And Luke does breakfast as well. If you're coffee and beignets kind of breakfasters, Cafe du Monde is one of those experiences that every tourist should have (and most do). But lots of locals frequent the place as well, because the experience is a good one. (But if you want a real breakfast, this isn't your place because beignets is it here.)
Hope this helps.
re: nomadchowwoman
Can't say I'm a fan of Mother's. I think Johnny's Po'boy (French Quarter), Parkway, Parasol's, or Domilese's (a cab ride away) have Mother's beat.
Chargrilled oysters at Drago's are delicious, although the original Drago's in Metairie is superior to the Hilton branch. But if I were y'all, I'd focus on shrimp and fish. Oysters are smaller, softer, and not as flavorful in the summer as they will be in a couple of months.
I second the suggestion that you do Commander's for lunch or Jazz Brunch instead of dinner. (When you make your reservations, ask for a table in the Garden Room.)
I can't vouch for it, but Stanley, in the French Quarter, gets great reviews for breakfast.
If you can stop by in the quiet post-lunch hours between 3:00-5:00, Napoleon House is a lovely place to sit, have a drink, and cool off. It's old New Orleans, and feels like it. It'll be too hot to sit in the courtyard, but have a look at the two main rooms, and make yourselves comfortable.
Have a wonderful visit!
Another vote for lunch at Commander's. One of my favorite things to do is get all dressed up and ride the streetcar out to Commander's.
Of the other older restaurants, my favorite experience was brunch at Arnaud's. Antoine's and Galatoire's were not great experiences for us, although we'll give Galatoire's another shot someday.
Do dinner at K-Paul's instead. Or Pelican Club. We had an anniversary dinners at both and love them both. K-Paul's is a little casual in atmosphere but the food is out of this world. Pelican Club has a real classic feel and they treated us extremely well. That's a very solid restaurant.
And do a lunch or a snack at the bar at Mr. B's but SPECIFICALLY order the BBQ Shrimp. They have it for lunch and dinner but it's much cheaper at lunch and is stlll a very nice portion. Plus at lunch there are $1.50 cocktails. NOLA is filled with great restaurants, but this particular dish stands out for me as one of the very best plates of food I've had in the city. Don't miss it. The other dishes on the menu ranged from not great (the seafood gumbo) to very nice (creole tomato salad, catfish fingers) but the BBQ shrimp is worth a trip just by itself. Very memorable.
Make sure to have drinks at the Sazarac Bar at the Roosevelt (which I haven't been to since it reopened) and the Carousel Bar at the Monteleone (which I've been to waaaaay too many times).
And, as I always warn, if you find yourself hot and tired and just looking for a pleasant place to eat lunch and you're standing outside Pere Antoines on Royal DO NOT EAT THERE. You'll regret it.
Thanks for all the great ideas! I think we're going to go to Cochon for the last dinner, and definitely will hit up Mrs. B's for the BBQ shrimp for lunch one day.
I know that Commander's is a jacket and tie place, but would I be out of place in any of the other places in a nice pair of jeans and button down shirt? I'm not a huge fan of getting all dolled up to eat. I'll gladly do it for Commander's, but what about the other places?
And we have three bars on our list. Carousel bar, Sazarac Bar, and Cure.
re: kimfair1
I'm one of the apparently few in the "emperor is less than fully dressed" camp when it comes to Cure. I don't think the cocktails are so great that they're worth the prices. You can get better cocktails at Bar Uncommon or Iris, and you won't have to deal with Cure's frankly bad techno music and the see and be seen beautiful people crowd. It seems to me that most if not all of the glowing reviews I've read of Cure include the caveat that the reviewer is friends of the owner or one of the bartenders.
re: kimfair1
I would usually say Commander's lunch but for an anniversary dinner I think it would be perfect. They know how to treat a person right and make it an experience. I doubt they will do anything special at Cochon. Stick with Commander's and make sure you tell them it's your anniversary.
Cure is ok. I hear Tonique is same vibe but better. Haven't been to Tonique yet though. The drinks at Cure are teeny-tiny. I appreciate an artisan cocktail a great deal but have had better and bigger at One or Coquette. Do drinks and dessert at the bar at Coquette one evening or afternoon.
re: lawstudent
On our anniversary we went to Commander's for lunch and Pelican Club for dinner. When lunch at Commander's is so ridiculously inexpensive, why choose? :)
re: kimfair1
I love bayonna 4 star food but they dont take the service so seriously. Great dinner could get by with nice jeans and button down. Lunch is a steal....
I recommend the Old Coffe Pot for breakfast. It's in the French Quarter, so an easy walk from where you are staying. Don't get put off by the line if there is one. It tends to move fast and it's well worth the wait. The restaurant is cozy and cute, but most importantly the food is FANTASTIC!!
Have a great trip!!
re: JFarah
I'll second that; I always forget about it.
re: JFarah
After the "old" Camilia Grill, Coffee Pot is my fav. Have not been to the new Camillia, so Coffee Pot is now in the top spot. I've been going, since it was "Maxie's," and try to get there each trip. I must go early, and on off days, as I have never stood in a line and this goes back to the late 70's. Still, I would stand in line, and that is definitely NOT my thing.
You did great with August--the worst part for my wife and I (first time at Restaurant August) was that we ate the first night at Restaurant August, and then everything was compared to that fantastic meal--so unfair to the rest!
I would add:
Mr B's for BBQ shrimp (Lunch is great)
Cochon for Lunch or Dinner
Palace Cafe is also a great lunch place (could be a casual dinner)
You might want to change Luke to lunch (which is fantastic) or even breakfast (which looks great) and take dinner at a non-Besh restaurant.
Let us know what you think of your adventure...
our 10th anniversary is on 9/12 as well. Congrats! Brigtsen's is a must for dinner one night and Mr.b's BBQ shrimp is another. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for all the replies...
So which is best Brigsten's or Cochon?
Sounds like Commander's Palace for Brunch but if you can't get in which is best Elizabeth's or Luke ?
What do you recommend to have at August (yes we snagged a rez)
Po boys--- that's oyster po-boys Parkway Grill or Johnny's or ?????
Spotted Cat for late night jazz or????
A crazy honky tonk?
Best place for a cool pre-dinner cocktail by a mixologist (no canned juices please) and a relaxed vibe- perhaps a porch?
Finally a place next to Hilton "Garden Inn" near the Convention Center?
Beignet rhymes with cliché or MUST HAVE....
Best breakfast during the week for just a tasty down home meal just in case we wake up hungry....
Best gumbo - we like it spicy.
Finally where can three girls go hang out and chat that plays good music
Thanks in ADVANCE.
re: haveforkwilltravel
Spotted Cat is no longer. New place there called jimbeaux's. not sure if it's as cool as spotted cat was. carousel bar is my must for a cool pre-dinner cocktail or check out the new Sazerac in the Roosevelt. You should see Magazine street for your breakfast and spend some time shopping where the locals shop. slim goody's and surrey's are my two favorites. I would suggest Bristen's over Cochon and then check out Cochon's sister spot- The Butcher- which is very close to your hotel.
re: shanefink
Brigtsen's over Cochon.
Elizabeth's and Luke are not really comparable, but both are good. Just depends on what you're in the mood for.
Parkway is good for poboys but Johnny's is fine if you are in the Quarter.
Jimbeaux's is closed now too.
I don't know of any crazy honky tonks. There's a place called Bourbon Cowboy that I think has a mechanical bull, but I don't think it's really a honky tonk.
The Columns has a nice porch, but definitely not fresh juices. Cure on Freret has a patio and "mixologists."
re: shanefink
I just wanted to say thank you to you all you made our trip to NOLA a great time!
re: haveforkwilltravel
Brigtsen's over Cochon....hands down.
Luke over Elizabeth's
Gnocchi w/ crabmeat & truffles at August
Parkway for poboys
dba or Snug Harbor for music (the Cat is no longer)
Can't think of any true "honky tonks" in NOLA. Snake and Jakes is interesting.
Cure, Bar Tonique, Delachaise, Coquette
Near CC, La Boca for beef or Rio Mar for seafood
There's no one MUST HAVE. It's an entire experience.
Favorite breakfast place is Blue Plate Cafe on Prytania
I don't generally get gumbo in restaurants. Can't comment.
dba, Chart Room, Flanagan's, Lucy's, Vic's, Bulldog, Parasol's......that's where I'd be anyway.
re: BayouTeche
I second the recommendation for DBAs - was there in July and absolutely loved it. They have a great beer and whiskey selection.
re: haveforkwilltravel
"Crazy honky tonk" probably isn't the best description, but for a funky New Orleans, decidely un-FQish, bar and music experience, Vaughn's Lounge in the Bywater, when Kermit Ruffins ia playing, can't be beat. A definite cab ride.
A great little bar--cool and jazzy--but also off the tourist track is Clever, in the American Can Company complex in mid-city. Great "mixology" happens at Clever, where the cocktails are delicious and almost nothing is pre-mixed or made. On weekends, there's music, sometimes really good jazz. But it's always a low key, quiet place. Great for chatting.
August--my husband loves the oyster appetizer that's often on the menu. I almost always order duck; every prepartion has been divine. And Bayou Teche is right about the gnocchi.
BT also reminded me about the Blue Plate for really good breakfast, with a wide and interesting selection. It's a short (but probably necessary, definitely unscenic) cab ride from the CC . Uptown Librarian is right about Luke and Elizabeth's. They're totally different.. Luke is "upscale," nicely decorated, in a hotel. Elizabeth's is a Bywater neighborhood joint (just so-so these days, imho, but lots of folks love it) .
Gumbo--almost everyone serves gumbo; few are special. That said, I love the Gumbo Ya Ya at Mr. B's. The gumbo at Gumbo Shop is pretty good. Gumbo at either Brigtsen's or Cochon has always been superb.
Johnny's Po-boys are good, but if you don't mind cabbing it, go to Parkway Bakery for what are arguably (I said, arguably!) the best oyster, shrimp, and roast beef poboys. (Closed Tuesdays.) And just so you can get your bearings, it's just across Bayou St. John from Clever.
Have a great time, and be sure to let us know how your trip turns out.
August is offering a COOlinary special 4 courses $40. I prefer Commanders for lunch, in the garden room. Herbsaint for dinner. Emeril's is excellent lunch (M-F) or dinner. Cuvee for either as well. They also offer a COOLinary. Skip breakfast one morning and head to Galatoire's for an early lunch 11:00. You won't be ready for dinner that evening earlier than 7:30 or 8. Johnny's in FQ has a good RB po boy. http://www.nomenu.com/summer/ for COOLinary menus

Awesome All Blacks complete clean sweep
October 6, 2012
New Zealand's Sam Whitelock powers over for his side's opening try
© Getty Images
Story of the Game
New Zealand wrapped up an unbeaten Rugby Championship campaign with a clinical 32-16 victory over South Africa in Johannesburg.
The All Blacks secured the title with victory over Argentina last weekend but there was no let up from Steve Hansen's charges against a Springboks side that was determined to deny them a clean sweep in the inaugural staging of the new-look battle for southern hemisphere supremacy.
A try from in-form winger Bryan Habana gave the hosts a deserved early lead but the resilient All Blacks bounced back with a try from lock Sam Whitelock that was followed by another for scrum-half Aaron Smith. The world champions still trailed 16-12 at half-time thanks to Elton Jantjies' first Test points but they wrestled back control of the contest with 20 unanswered points after the break with tries from midfield duo Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith hammering home the All Blacks' dominance.
In an impressive show of strength, the All Blacks were also able to weather the loss of fullback Israel Dagg to a second half yellow card as the Boks floundered with the result a sixth consecutive win in the competition and a record 100th Test victory for captain Richie McCaw.
Ahead of the game South Africa captain Jean de Villiers backed rookie fly-half Johan Goosen to handle the pressure, his predecessor Morne Steyn having had a terrible day with the boot when the two sides met in Dunedin three weeks ago. But Goosen did not get off to the best of starts, missing two early penalties, the second rebounding off a post.
But the Springboks got the opening try of the match in the 12th minute as Habana took a pass from De Villiers to run in unchallenged after a loose ball in midfield proved elusive for All Blacks. Goosen this time made no mistake with his kick as the hosts led 7-0.
The fly-half appeared to be finding his range and knocked over a penalty before the All Blacks got on the board in the 25th minute thanks to a superb counter attack. The Boks missed touch with a clearance and their rivals immediately capitalised by moving the ball out to the left where No.8 Kieran Read put Whitelock away and powerful second row was able to ride tackles from Adriaan Strauss and Goosen on his way to the line.
Carter missed the conversion, but the visitors soon had their second try, Habana missing an interception attempt and Hosea Gear streaking clear before offloading to Aaron Smith, who scored under the posts.
Carter's conversion put the All Blacks 12-10 in front but Jantjies, on for an injured Goosen, knocked over a penalty to put the hosts back in front by one and did it again on the stroke of half-time.
The second half was all New Zealand, though, and they started it as they meant to go on, Nonu touching down after the All Blacks attacked straight after the restart and Carter adding the extras. Jantjies missed two quick-fire penalties as the Boks' kicking problems mounted, and their opponents took advantage with a fourth try in the 52nd minute.
Conrad Smith ghosted through a gap to touch down, with Carter's conversion making it 26-16 to the All Blacks. Carter extended his side's lead with a drop-goal in the 63rd minute.
The hosts were thrown a lifeline when Dagg was sin-binned for slowing down the ball, but the one-way traffic toward the South Africa line continued.
A Carter penalty with nine minutes to go took his tally to 11 and the New Zealand lead to 16, and Aaron Cruden even had time to miss a late three-pointer as the visitors closed out a convincing win.

Lawsuit filed over Detroit Election Inspectors
- Written by The Michigan Chronicle
- Published in Detroit
DETROIT (WJBK) - Detroit voters go to the polls Tuesday for the primary, or will they?
D. Etta Wilcoxon, who is running for Detroit city clerk, said the city's election process right now is illegal.
"We're thinking that it cannot be held as things currently stand, and we don't see an avenue for Ms. Winfrey to cure this difficulty. She should've done it months ago," Wilcoxon said.
Wilcoxon is facing incumbent Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey.
A lawsuit filed Friday alleges the Detroit Election Commission has not approved the election inspectors.
Winfrey is chairperson of the Election Commission

November 22, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Democratic candidate for governor Mary Burke says Gov. Scott Walker is painting an overly rosy picture of the state's economy.
Burke reacted Wednesday to Walker's State of the State speech in which he called for cutting property and income taxes $504 million in light of state revenues that are $912 million higher than originally anticipated.
Burke says she would use the surplus to pay down the state's debt, target property tax relief to the middle class, and put more money into worker training.
Some Republican senators have criticized Walker's tax cuts for increasing the state's projected budget shortfall, but say a strong economy will erase that deficit.
Walker is calling for increasing worker training spending by $35 million in addition to cutting taxes.

Amid NSA spying scandal, the gloves are off for EU's justice chief
Europe's justice chief Viviane Reding was enraged following the news that the U.S. and U.K. -- both allies to the 28 member state bloc -- were spying on its citizens in breach of EU data protection rules. But at a time when Brussels was looking to amend the privacy laws, Reding was pushing back against some proposals, which were "watered down" according to the politicians debating the law. Now news of the scandal broke, Reding is fighting back against her federal former friend.

Taxibeat is a location-based app that helps users find and book taxi services. Once it finds the nearest drivers available, it is possible to get details about them, such as their picture, information about their car and service reviews from other passengers. It is also possible to track the progress of the car once it is on its way to the user, plot routes and calculate fares. This is definitely the smartest taxi booking app around - shame it is only available in Rio and São Paulo.

Violating Mommy Ch. 03byVanillaExtract©
- Quick disclaimer, this is not a tame story. There is a theme of non-consent/reluctance involved. Also, a very special thank you goes out to my volunteer editor Denorange for putting up with me. Comments good and bad are always encouraged. I hope you enjoy it. I did >:) -
The next morning, I was determined to put an end to what had happened. I showered, got dressed in my usual waitress atire, put on my nametag, and then went to wake up Dillon. I stormed right into his room, shaking him angrily.
"Up! Wake up!"
"Huh? Oh, hey, Mom. Time for a quickie?"
I scowled. "Take a shower and then come have breakfast. We need to talk."
"Uh-oh. Grounded again?"
"You wish."
I stormed off and went into the kitchen, making a couple of fried eggs and throwing them on a plate with some toast, spreading some margarine for flavor. Dillon came into the kitchen a moment later, fresh from the shower, his hair wet, body glistening, a towel around his waist. He probably thought something was going to happen; well, he had another think coming.
"Sit," I ordered.
He sat. "So, you're pissed?"
"I am more than pissed, young man."
He picked up his toast and eggs and made sandwich, taking a bite. I remained standing, crossing my arms over my chest, putting on my motherly glare.
"So, let's hear it?" Dillon said.
"You crossed the line last night," I said.
He rolled his eyes. "You liked it."
"Fuck you, Dillon. Just shut up."
"Damn," he said, looking up at me. "Where's the swear jar?"
"You listen, and you listen well," I said. "You're going to graduate high school in three months, so this is your 90-day notice. I want you out of this apartment the day school is over. Do you understand me?"
He was dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"
"You bet your ass I am."
"But I'm your son."
"You stopped being my son the moment you fucked me."
"What the hell does that mean?" he demanded, standing up.
I took a step back. "Don't you dare touch me. Don't think I won't call the police on you."
"Mom, you wanted it," he said. "Look, I get that you feel guilty, but there's no reason to. You're still my mom, and I still love you. If you like it and I like it, why can't we have sex?"
"Because it's wrong, Dillon!"
He took a step closer, but I quickly grabbed the butter knife sticking out of the margarine container, holding it up in warning.
"Jesus, Mom!"
"You hold it right there!"
"Mom, relax. No one has to know. Let's just fool around. It doesn't change anything between us. Look, seriously..." He took a step back, holding up his hands. "I know I don't obey your rules. I don't clean my room. I don't take out the trash. I don't follow curfew. But I'll try harder. I'll be a better son. I will. You're the boss. Let's just, you know, have sex once in a while."
I put the butter knife down. "Dillon, I don't want it. I'm serious, 90 days. And maybe after you move out, if you are an exemplary young man, I might consider you my son again, but I can't forgive you for what you've done. Now, I'm going to work."
I moved past him, but then he grabbed my wrist, stopping me. "Wait."
"Dillon, let me go."
"Let me just say something," he said. "90 days? Okay, fair enough. You're right. You should kick me out."
I nodded, trying to pull my wrist away, but he tightened his grip. A smirk started to spread across his face.
"So I guess that means I've got 90 days to enjoy your pussy."
"No, Dillon," I said.
"Yeah, cause I think you want it just as much as I do, you just don't want to admit it."
He pulled me closer, and I started to struggle.
"Dillon, stop! I'll call the police! Stop it!"
He turned me around, laughing at my attempts to break free of his tight grip. Then he bent me over the kitchen table, shoving my face in the scraps of his egg sandwich, twisting my arm behind my back, keeping me from struggling.
"Oh, god, no, not again!" I cried. "Please, Dillon, don't! I'll call the police!"
"Will you?" he said, his hand rubbing up and down across my ass. I turned my neck to see him out of the corner of my eye. He opened his towel, letting his long cock flop out into the open. It was already growing bigger and bigger, and then he rubbed it up against my ass. "Yeah, I bet you will."
"I will," I whimpered as he started to lift my skirt.
"They'll arrest me for rape. I'll lose my college scholarship. I'll go to prison. I'll never have a career. You'll ruin my life. Yeah, I bet you'll call them right up."
I closed my eyes as he started to rub his hand over my panties. "Dillon, please. I'm your mother. You can't just fuck me whenever you want."
"That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to make you my sexy, slutty mother. I'm going to fuck you as much as I want."
His palm pressed into my sore pussy lips, digging between them, making me groan and squirm, trying to shake his relentless fingers from me.
"Please don't," I said. "Dillon, I can't do it. My pussy is so sore. I woke up this morning, and I'm just raw. Please, baby, if you love me, don't keep fucking me like this. I can't keep up with you. Please."
He grabbed the waistband of my panties and peeled them down my thighs, leaving them around my knees. Then he kicked my feet apart, spreading my legs open, exposing my hot pussy to the cool air.
"Fuck, you are raw, aren't you?" he said, his fingers massaging my pussy lips.
"Yes," I whispered. "Please not again. I'll...I'll suck your cock. I won't bite. I'll be good. Just don't fuck me again."
I felt his cock head rubbing across my red pussy lips. I whimpered. He didn't care.
"God damn you, Dillon. You're really just going to fuck me as much as you want, aren't you?"
"Yeah," he said huskily, rubbing my slit with his cock head.
"Is that all I am to you now, a hole for you to shove your cock into?"
"For the next 90 days, yeah."
He started to push into my pussy and I cringed. I was dry and raw and not at all ready for a big cock at 8:00 in the morning.
"Ow, ow, ow! Wait, Dillon, I'm not ready! Please, ow, god, my pussy."
He pulled back. "Shit."
I took a breath. "Let me up, please. I wanna suck your cock. I do. I won't fight. Please, just not my pussy. It hurts so much."
He reached over me, still holding me down, and stuck his fingers into the margarine, taking a handful.
"Oh, god," I whispered.
I felt him smear the cold margarine across my pussy lips. I pinched my eyes shut for what was coming next. His thick cock pressed against my slit, and then he slid into me with ease, well lubricated with imitation butter spread. I moaned, breathing out. Dillon released my arm and grabbed hold of my hips, keeping me in place as he filled my pussy with his fat cock. He knew I wasn't going anywhere.
"Feels good, doesn't it?" he taunted. "Come on, you can say it. I know you like it."
"Yes," I said with an exhale, and I did like it. My pussy burned from all the abuse of his monster cock, but god, I still loved to be filled up. He was going nice and slow, letting my sore pussy adjust to his size. "Fuck."
"See?" he said, rubbing my back as his cock slowly slid out of me. "I can be gentle."
"So wrong," I whispered, exhaling as he slid his cock back in.
"Why's it wrong?" he asked.
"Cause. Just because."
"Right," he said, withdrawing and sliding back in. He flexed his cock inside, making my eyes flutter.
"God, I hate that it feels good," I said. "You're a terrible son for doing this to me."
"For making you like it?" he asked.
"Yes," I whispered. I spread my legs a little wider, my panties tight around my knees. "Just fuck me and leave me alone."
"You want me to fuck you?" he asked, thrusting into me a little harder.
I gulped. "No, but if you're going to fuck me, just do it hard."
"Do you want me to fuck you harder?" he asked, going deliberately slow. I did want him to fuck me harder, despite my aching pussy. I wanted to be fucked hard and deep.
"No," I lied. "I just want to get it over with."
"Get what over with?" he said. "I'm just getting started. When you get home from work, as soon as you walk through that door, I'm going to bend you over the sofa and fuck you again. And then you're going to make dinner. And as soon we're done eating, I'm going to fuck you on the floor. And once you're settled into bed, I'm going to come in and fuck you twice. I might even sleep in your bed."
"And tomorrow morning..." he said, suddenly giving me a hard thrust that shoved me forward against the table. My arms flailed, knocking over the orange juice. I didn't even care. I just wanted him to do it again. "...tomorrow, I think I'll wake up early, jump in the shower with you and have you wash my cock before I fuck you in there."
He was moving faster, sawing that giant cock in and out of my slippery pussy. I was well oiled now, either from my wetness or from all the margarine, but whatever it was, his cock was pistoning in and out of me so fast the whole house was shaking... or maybe that was just the table. It was too hard to tell. I was delirious with pleasure. I couldn't even feel the soreness in my pussy anymore. I just wanted him to keep fucking me, and I was glad he was threatening to do it more. I felt like I had found a loophole, all the sex I could ever want, while none of the moral shame, because I was telling him I didn't want it.
"Fuck, you're going to make me cum," I whispered.
"I know I am," he said. "Yeah, you keep telling me how much you hate it, and you keep cumming. Fuck, you don't know what you want, do you?"
I bit my bottom lip and then screamed as an orgasm came over me. My feet were off the floor as he pounded into me, my panties ripping as I tried to spread my legs open wider and just take in as much of his cock as I could. I was thrashing from the intense pleasure, screaming and crying out for him to stop.
"Stop, oh, god! It's sensitive! Please, Dillon! Please, baby, give Mommy a little break."
He slowed his thrusts. I was panting to keep myself together. I lay there on the table, growing numb as his pace started to pick up again. I knew he was getting closer. God, more cum in me. What was I going to do if I got pregnant?
"Fuck," he mumbled. "I was going to try to pull out, but I don't think I can. Shit."
His cock burst like a dam, filling me with semen, just like last night, and I could do nothing to stop it. My pussy was drooling sperm as he kept thrusting. Why did it have to feel so good? I lay there on the table, well fucked as his cock slipped out of me. I didn't think I even had the energy to stand. I felt paralyzed from the pleasure.
"Oh, shit," Dillon said. "I'm going to miss my bus."
I heard him run down the hall only to appear a moment later, dressed, saying, "Bye, Mom," and vanishing. Once the door closed, I tried to pick myself up. I rolled over, my legs dangling off the table. Cum was everywhere, my thighs, my ass, my skirt. I stepped down, wobbly, and pulled up my panties, sealing the dripping pool of cum into my pussy. I tried to straighten my skirt out, but what was the point?
I drove to work feeling disheartened. I could pretty much count on getting more sex than I knew what to do with from now, at least for the next 90 days, if I really had the courage to kick my son out. My pussy was already feeling sore again from the hard fucking my son had given me.
"Late again!" my boss yelled.
I didn't even acknowledge him. I just went to work, taking orders, nodding at my sister when she asked me if everything was okay. I didn't want her to know what had happened, that I was now my son's sex doll, that he was fucking me on a whim, that my pussy was getting used and abused at will.
Around lunchtime, I picked up something from the kitchen and climbed into my car, sitting back in the seat, spreading my legs open and putting a cold soda can against my sore pussy, sighing. I couldn't eat. All my muscles were tired from sex and my stomach was in knots over all that had happened.
The passenger door suddenly opened and Jenny climbed in. "Hey."
"Hey," I said, sitting up. "What are you doing here? You're covering my lunch."
She shrugged. "I made the new girls cover both of us. How are you?"
"Yeah, right," Jenny said. "Come on, tell your little sister what's going on. I know something happened. It was Dillon again, wasn't it?"
"I don't want to talk about it," I said, taking the soda out from between my legs, cracking the lid and sipping. "It won't be a problem anymore."
"He fucked you, didn't he?" Jenny said.
"Huh?" I said, looking at her, gulping. "God, no, don't be disgusting. That's my son."
"Katie, you had a soda against your pussy."
"No, I didn't."
"You've got cum stains on the inside of your skirt and you smell like sex. Hell, even your messy hair says you've been fucked."
I looked down and put my face in my hands. "He fucked me three times."
"Three? Shit, it's only been 24 hours since we talked."
I looked up at her. "Jenny, it's serious. He just...took me last night, twice in a row. My pussy is so chaffed, and then this morning before work, he just bent me over the table and fucked the hell out of me."
"Wow," she said. "I'm jealous."
"That's my son, Jenny," I said sadly. "I didn't want him to do it. He raped me."
"Did you like it?"
"Of course I liked it, but I didn't want it."
"Well, if you liked it, it's not rape."
"That's not how the law works. And it's worse than that. He told me he's going to start fucking me whenever he wants, like, three or four times a day."
"Wow, I would love to get fucked three times a day."
"Jenny! Please, I need a sister, not a perverted friend."
"Okay, sorry, but this is what you kept saying you wanted. You wanted a man. You found one."
"My son isn't the man I wanted. It's sick. I mean, isn't it?"
"Well, I don't have a son, so I don't know, but I guess it's abnormal. You definitely can't tell anyone."
"I know, but aren't you grossed out?"
"Me? Um, hello? I've eaten your pussy and I'm your sister."
"That's not the same. We grew up together. We were just playing around. What he's doing to me is serious, permanent. He came in me, for god's sake. I'm probably pregnant."
"Yeah, see?"
"Here, hold on," she said, opening her handbag, pulling out a couple of pills. She handed them to me. "Take two. Same as Plan B."
"Birth control? I didn't know you were on that."
"I'm always ready to go, and it sounds like you should be too."
"I don't want to be though. I need help. I have to stop him. Here, look."
I spread my legs open, hitched up my skirt, and pulled my panties aside, showing my pussy lips. They were red and inflamed, still slick from the cum and margarine.
"Shit. He really fucked you, didn't he? That's just from three times?"
"It's his cock, Jenny. I told you, he's huge. He's fucking the stuffing out of me."
"Let me feel."
Jenny reached for my pussy, touching it. She slipped a couple fingers inside.
She pulled them back and suddenly stuck them in her mouth, sucking. "Mmm, is that margarine?"
"That's my son's cum! ...With margarine, yes. I was dry this morning."
She laughed. "I've never been buttered before I was spread."
I pushed my skirt back down. "What do I do? I can't keep up with him. I'm telling you, I need help. It's not right having sex with him, and my pussy can't take it."
"Okay, tell you what," Jenny said. "If he's forcing you, I'll stay over for the night, protect you from the big, bad cock."
"Really?" I said hopefully. "You wouldn't mind?"
"Nah, it'll be fun."
"Okay, but be careful around Dillon. He might fuck you next."
"Oh, I can handle him."
I was a little nervous when I came home. Jenny was following me in her car. But I wanted to go upstairs first and tell Dillon she would be staying the night. I was hoping to trick my sister into staying for the rest of the week, just until Dillon's craving for my pussy calmed down.
"Dillon?" I said, knocking on his bedroom door. I opened it and stepped in.
"Hey, Mom," he said, looking up from his TV. "I was waiting for you."
He stood up and came toward me, wearing that smirk of his that told me he was ready to fuck me whether I wanted it or not.
"Hold on there," I said, swallowing nervously. "Jenny's here."
"Aunt Jenny?" he said, stopping in place.
"Yes. She's staying the night...in my room."
He folded his arms. "So that's how it is?"
"Don't try anything in front of her," I said sternly. "She doesn't know, and I don't want her to."
He laughed. "Okay, Mom. I'll be good, but when she goes home, I'm coming for your pussy."
I glared. "Dillon, I am not a sex slave. Don't treat me like one."
I stormed off, opening my apartment door, looking down the hall for Jenny. She arrived moments later, thankfully. Dillon was over my shoulder as she stepped in.
"Hi, Dillon."
"Hey, Aunt Jenny."
"How are you?" she asked.
"How's school?"
"Getting excited for college?"
"Well, you'll be the first in our family to actually do something with your life, so be proud of yourself."
"Hey," I said, "don't forget about me. I'm going to nursing school. I'm going to make a difference."
"Oh, sure you are."
Jenny and I set out to make dinner as Dillon stood around, talking to us. This was actually nice. For a few minutes, I actually forget that I was bent over this table this morning, getting my pussy reamed by my son. Of course, the tenderness between my legs was a constant reminder that this was a temporary ceasefire, that I would probably be back on this table by tomorrow, screaming while I got fucked like a whore. Maybe I could ask Jenny to move in.
Dinner passed with civility. I really thought having some interaction with someone other than me might set Dillon straight, let him know I had back up, that I was more than a wet hole.
Afterwards, we all settled down to watch some terrible family TV. I excused myself to pee and rub some Vagisil on my tender pussy. However, when I came back down the hall, I heard a conversation I did not like.
"I can't believe she told you about the vacuum," Dillon said.
"She tells me everything," Jenny said.
"Did she tell you anything else?
"There's more? Did you put your dick in the toaster too? Seek help, Dillon."
He laughed. "She really didn't say anything else?"
"She said your dick was big."
"Did she?"
"But she was probably exaggerating. Your mom has always been scared of sex. I'm sure all guys have big dicks to her."
"Do you want to see for yourself?"
"Gross, no thanks."
"What, are you scared of sex too?" Dillon said.
"Me? Never. I'm just worried you'll try to rape me like you did your mother."
"Ha! I knew she told you. I could tell the moment you came in."
"What kind of pervert has to fuck his own mother to get off? You should be ashamed of yourself."
"Don't believe everything she says. She loves it."
"Yeah, that's why she asked me stay here to protect her from you."
"And who's going to protect you from me?" he asked.
"Oh, little boy, you wouldn't know what to do with me."
"Please, you wouldn't know what to do with a cock in your cunt. I know you've been eating my mom's pussy for years."
"How the hell did you know about that?" Jenny demanded.
"I saw you two going at it when I was a kid. That's traumatizing to see on Christmas Eve when you're looking for Santa. You're just as bad as me, taking advantage of her."
"You're a pig, and you'd better not touch her again."
"You want me to stop?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Okay, ask me nicely."
"What do you mean?"
"Ask me nicely...after she goes to sleep."
I knew what that meant. I opened and closed the bathroom door for effect and then returned to the living room. They both acted like they hadn't spoke. I sat down and we watched the TV in silence. But I was worried now, for Jenny. Dillon might very well try to fuck her tonight. And worse, Jenny might let him. Maybe she thought she was trying to protect me, but I didn't want her to protect me by doing the very thing that had gotten me into this mess.

Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds ranging from Mark Twain and Charles Dickens to Henry James and Sigmund Freud, namely: who was the author of the plays credited to William Shakespeare? Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature. Anonymous poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when cloak-and-dagger political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and schemes of greedy nobles hungry for the power of the throne were exposed in the most unlikely of places: the London stage.

Pregame Preview: Clear of waivers, Bell sees future with Padres
PHOENIX Heath Bell will be in the bullpen of the Padres Friday night as they open a three-game series in Phoenix against the National League West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks (6:40 p.m.; TV: 4 San Diego).
With the Padres unable to reach any trade agreement with the San Francisco Giants regarding Bell, the waiver deadline passed at 10 a.m. Friday morning with Bell still a member of the Padres.
"I ain't going nowhere and I never thought I was," said Bell.
In fact, Bell said he expects to be a Padre again in 2012.
"At the end of the day, I really think I'm coming back next year," said Bell in the Padres clubhouse."
Bell admitted the last month has been difficult, starting out with all rumors before the July 31 trade deadline.
"I admit, I was bummed out a bit when I wasn't traded," said Bell of July 31. "But I felt better by the time I went to bed that night."
Bell said he wasn't surprised that the Padres placed him on waivers Monday. But he was surprised by the reaction, even with his younger teammates.
"A lot of people inside here didn't know what waivers meant," said Bell. "Some thought that if you went on waivers you were automatically gone.
"I had to explain it to some of the younger players. Almost every player is placed on waivers at some time. You're just not supposed to hear about it. It's supposed to be kept a secret."
All the time Bell was dealing with the trade and waiver issues, his father's open-heart surgery to repair an aneurysm was twice delayed before being completed Tursday. Jim Bell is resting comfortably in a Round Rock, Tex., hospital.
On top of all that, the pitcher's daughter Jordyn suffered a ruptured ear drum last week.
There were talks between the Padres and Giants regarding Bell, but nothing substantial according to a Padres source.
The Giants claimed Bell Monday after he was placed on waivers by the Padres, eventually opening a 48-hour window when the Padres and Giants could negotiate a trade. When that window expired, Bell automatically remained a Padre.
The Padres cannot place Bell back on waivers this season without losing him to the first team who puts in a claim. Bell is a free agent at the end of this season.
Bell would like to negotiate a three-year contract with the Padres. The Padres have said they would discuss a two-year contract. When Bell becomes a free agent, the Padres would gain two picks in next June's draft if they offered Bell salary arbitration and the pitcher refused.
But Bell has said he would accept arbitration – which could bind the Padres to a one-year contract worth between $10 and $12 million.
Meanwhile, the Padres are hoping to claim a piece of revenge in this weekend's three-game series at Chase Field in Phoenix.
At exactly this stage of the 2010 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks played a role in the collapse of the Padres, sweeping a three-game series in Phoenix as part of the 10-game losing streak that became a major factor in the Padres missing the post-season by a game.

Common Hawker Aeshna juncea only lives up to its common name in the north and west of the British Isles. It is absent or rare in the lowlands south east of a line between the rivers Tees and Exe. In these areas in is restricted to remaining areas of acid bog or heathland. It is much more likely for the rather similar Migrant Hawker to be encountered in this region.

MONDAY, June 16, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The "bionic pancreas" -- a device that uses a sophisticated computer program working in concert with several diabetes management devices -- successfully managed blood sugar levels in its first real-world trials on adults and children with type 1 diabetes.
What may be even more important is that the device took away the constant monitoring that's required with type 1 diabetes.
"It's difficult for people who don't live with type 1 diabetes to understand how much work it is. It's such a burden. But, everyone in the trial said that burden was all lifted. The device is inherently automated -- it's diabetes without the numbers," said study senior author Edward Damiano, an associate professor in the department of biomedical engineering at Boston University. Damiano understands the issue more keenly than most, as he is the father of a 15-year-old son with type 1 diabetes.
Damiano said the device "exceeded our expectations, reducing average [blood-sugar levels] to what's well below standard-care therapy, while at the same time reducing [low blood-sugar levels]."
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease caused by a mistaken attack on healthy insulin-producing cells in the body, destroying them. Insulin is a hormone necessary for ushering sugar into cells to provide fuel for those cells. People with type 1 must replace the insulin their bodies no longer produce through injections or through a tiny catheter attached to an insulin pump.
However, figuring out exactly how much insulin to give is no easy task. Both too much insulin and too little insulin can have dangerous, even deadly, consequences.
Here's how the bionic pancreas can help. It contains two hormones -- insulin and glucagon. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon can raise blood sugar quickly. The current version of the bionic pancreas had two insulin pumps -- one that delivered small doses of insulin and the second for glucagon. The device also included a smartphone with an app that contained the computer program to control the pumps. The phone also wirelessly communicated with a continuous glucose monitor that constantly reported blood sugar levels.
Damiano said that, within 18 months, he hopes to have one integrated machine containing an insulin reservoir, a glucagon reservoir, a continuous glucose monitor receiver and the computer program. The device would also require the insertion of a continuous glucose monitor sensor, and two tiny tubes inserted under the skin every three days to deliver the hormones.
In the current study, the researchers tested the device in outpatient trials for 20 adults and 32 teenagers with type 1 diabetes. The teens were at a diabetes summer camp. Both trials included five days on the bionic pancreas and five days on usual management with an insulin pump.
In the adults, average daily blood sugar levels were 159 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) on their usual management. On the bionic pancreas, that dropped to 133 mg/dL. The amount of time spent with low blood sugar levels was nearly halved -- from just over 7 percent on usual care to about 4 percent on the bionic pancreas, according to the study.
For the campers, aged 12 to 20, their usual care routines gave them an average blood sugar reading of 157 mg/dL, while they had an average of 138 mg/dL on the bionic pancreas. Time spent with low blood sugar levels were slightly reduced in the campers. The trials were funded by the U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Both Damiano and his co-author, Dr. Steven Russell from the Massachusetts General Hospital Diabetes Unit in Boston, were especially pleased that the device worked on everyone.
"No one was left behind. That was really encouraging," said Russell.
"A cure is what we hope for, but this is a bridge until that happens. Although we're not totally normalizing blood sugar levels, everybody gets below what's predicted to be an A1C of 7. We could keep people safe and dramatically reduce the risk of complications," said Russell.
A1C is a long-term measure of blood sugar levels -- about two to three months. The American Diabetes Association A1C goal for most people is under 7 to avoid diabetes complications. However, because of the many variables involved in diabetes care, that's often difficult to consistently achieve.
"These results are promising," said Aaron Kowalski, vice president of artificial pancreas research for JDRF (formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).
"And, from the patient experience, it's hard to underestimate the reduction of burden -- not having to make as many decisions, not being awakened in the middle of the night," said Kowalski, who has type 1 diabetes.
He noted that he does have concerns about artificial pancreas systems that rely on glucagon, because if the tubing delivering glucagon were to become blocked, potentially dangerous low blood sugar levels could result.
Russell said there are alarms that will sound if the tubing becomes blocked. And, in the new design for the fully integrated device, both the insulin tube and the glucagon tube will be on the same adhesive patch, so if one comes out, the other will, too.
There were no serious low blood sugar events in either the adults or the teens during the trials.
The next step begins Monday, with expanded outpatient trials. In the meantime, the researchers will continue to work on the fully integrated device, and hope to start clinical trials on that in 18 months or so, according to Damiano.
Both Damiano and Russell believe they'll have their device ready to market in fewer than five years. Damiano is hoping for no longer than 39 months -- that's when his son will head off to college.
Kowalski said: "For many years with the artificial pancreas, people have been saying will this happen? It's not a matter of if anymore, but when. I think we're going to see this moving quickly."
He added that other research teams have also had successes, and are in -- or planning for -- clinical trials.
The findings were presented Sunday at the American Diabetes Association's meeting in San Francisco, and were published online simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine.

iPod cans menace pacemakers
Only Reg Hacks....
Can manage to make a piece about headphone magnets affecting medical equipment into a headline attacking Apple.
Just how low in the barrel are you guys scraping in your hatred for all things Apple?
An Alien, because its more relevant than this Apple-Bashing rag has become.
iPhone apps selling like hot cakes
Removal of apps
When apps are removed from the app store they aren't removed magically from your phone, morons.
No moreso that when WH Smith stops selling your Linux Penguin Porn mags do they come round to your house and ask for the ones under your bed back (sticky and moist though they probably are by now).
Paris, because she's *way* smarter than most of you, it would seem.
Apple to charge iPod Touch owners for new OS - again
Two things, people....
1: This is not a required upgrade. Your iPod Touch won't stop working if you don't pay for it. In fact, it will work exactly as it did yesterday. No difference whatsoever. It continues to do just what it did when you shelled out your lucre to buy it in the first place. So if that's your problem: Shut the f*ck up and sit down.
2: Apple puts a lot of money into developing this stuff. Are you honestly saying they should give it to you for free, just because you're a whining bitch?
At the end of every month, do you say to your employer (yes, I'm presuming you actually have jobs and don't simply live with your Mum in a bedroom covered with Star Wars and Take That posters - unlikely, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt)
"No, its OK, you have all my work for free, I don't want a paycheck."
If not: Shut the f*ck up and sit your hypocritical arse back down.
As for all you saying proudly you don't/won't own anything Apple in the first place... what the f*ck are you doing here? Why not shut the f*ck up and sit down.
If the Allan Rutlands of the world...
...spent less time with their fingers in their ears shouting "I am right, I am right" and spent ten minutes reading up on what people were saying and realising those people were, in fact, correct, then those same Allan Rutlands would have lots more free time to find new ways to make themselves look like idiots in public forums.
Paris, because even she is less embarrassing than Rutters.
Surely you can't be....
.. trying to rehash the "why is Apple so mean for charging for updates" crap when the entire world knows they are required by law to do this due to US accounting practices.
Very lame, RegHack
As for the rest. Meh... its a phone. Admittedly, a better phone than 99.99% of other phones around, but its still a phone.
