The Unworthy Toilet Slave
I spent eight hours drowned in the squalid darkness of Priya's toilet, hung upside-down into her commode with thick ropes. My mouth was sealed with tapes, but the Goddess of divine perfection was kind enough to leave my nose open, so I could inhale the putrid smell of her shit all night. For over twenty years of my life, I could have only dreamed and masturbated to the thought of having my face so close to Priya's shit. Now that I was this close, all I could wonder was when I would get to put it all in my mouth and eat it for her. The smell was all I could have, so I inhaled the fumes into the very fiber of my being.
Early in the morning Priya walked into the toilet, dripping with sweat from all over her body. She was wearing a light t-shirt along with jogging shorts and a sporty little wrist band. Her breath was heavy for a few moments as she checked my pulse and began to untie my ropes. "How was your dinner?" she laughed.
"Priya, you never let me eat your shit." I complained, slowly gathering myself at her feet.
"That's because you are not worthy of it yet." Priya's head soared high. "And until you become worthy of my shit, you would only get to smell my shit for dinner."
"Priya!" I bowed to her feet and licked her toenail clean. "What would I have to do to qualify as your shit eater?"
"That's precisely what I came here for." Priya announced. My heart leapt with joy for a moment, but her next sentence shot it down to the lowest low. "You are fired!"
"Priya, please!" I shivered and cried, grabbing as much of her feet as I could. "Please let me work for you. I would do anything."
"Millions of men out there would do anything to become my shit-eater." Priya said. "You are far too incompetent to work for me."
"Priya!" I wept.
"…but let us say that I had a qualified shit-eating slave working for me, you would be that slave's shit eater." Priya said. "You're that low in the hierarchy. You brought all this upon yourself, anyway. I asked you one simple question about how human beings should smell my farts and you got it wrong." I tried to lick her feet clean but she kicked me away. "I don't want losers like you in my toilet."
"Priya," I took a deep breath and prepared myself for a burst of boldness. "You are just back from your morning jog. You're sweating hard and your skin is so hot, I can feel it here. Now you walked into your toilet expecting to take a shit in a human being's mouth, because that is the kind of respect you deserve. Priya, you want a human slave to eat your shit, and I'm telling you, I promise you that I will eat it properly."
"Hmph." Priya watched my desperate face begging for her shit, and was obviously moved by my approach. "No, you're not good enough…"
"Priya, eating your shit is the only reason God sent me here." I explained. "It's the only purpose of my being. So please let me serve you and die in your service."
"Yeah." The corners of Priya's lips rose into a subtle smile. "I guess eating my shit can be the only reason for your existence. That must be why you're so useless at everything else." She turned around and slowly brought her hot, sweaty balls of warmth all over my face. "Besides, that's what people like you are for anyway. Look at my typical day- I eat like crazy, jog ten miles, have crazy hot sex all night- shitting all of that into a slave's mouth is the most generous thing I could do in my toilet."
"Yes, Priya. I would worship and die for your shit if you would just give me a chance to prove myself."
"I'll tell you what we'll do." Priya said, pointing to her commode. "I will give you a chance to eat yesterday night's shit." My heart bounced over a few ribs with joy, but Priya instantly shut the lid of her commode. "But you will have to earn your way up to it."
"How, Priya?" I begged.
"It gets even better. I am about to take a shit now. You will get to eat that too. But you'll have to earn your way up to it." Priya said.
"Whatever it takes, Priya." I cried tears of joy.
"Hmm," Priya took a step back to remove her sweaty jogging shorts and her silky black panties. Priya turned around, pointed her finger to me and snapped her finger. "Here we go."
"Uhh," I felt confused, hoping to kiss her naked bum. I went up to take a luscious kiss off it, only to have my face slapped away by her powerful hands.
"Bastard." Priya breathed. "When I snap my fingers, it means I want to fart on your face."
"I'm sorry I didn't know that, Priya." I stuck out my tongue and went up to her buttocks to absorb her fart. I quickly managed to wrap my tongue around the dark blow zone, so Priya could fart into my throat. Even as the popping noise exploded before me, I could feel the heavy fumes spread through my tracts and charge them up with divine energy like they'd never felt before.
"Hah, look at you crying." Priya pointed back at me and laughed.
"Priya, that was the most divine moment of my life, and I could never be able to repay you for something so beautiful." I shivered as I swallowed the fumes into my lungs. "I cry, because I would never be able to thank you for taking that fart in my mouth."
"Aww, that's okay." Priya cooed. "You'll eat my shit and die for me. Watching my slaves die is good entertainment for me. Now…," Priya said, "as you already know, I'm a winner and you are a loser." She walked towards the far end of her toilet and leaned her bum against the corner. "I can shit wherever I want, and you would have to eat it."
"That's the very purpose of my life, Priya."
She shook her buttocks and with a short grunt, she slowly allowed two large lumps to drop out of her ass and into the corner of the toilet. She then stepped her strong, sweaty legs on the commode to drop a few turds next to the porcelain structure. "Ahh," she heaved, but I could tell she wasn't done. She slowly stepped closer to me and began shaking her butt, still facing me. "I will shit wherever I want," she said, twisting her abdomen and shaking her pelvis with mighty force. Large turds of shit shot out of her buttocks and flew all over the toilet. Most of the shit pieces dropped to the floor, but a few pieces were stuck to the toilet walls. Within minutes, her fresh dry shit was stuck to several places on the walls and the toilet floor had ample supplies of it, too. "Hmm," Priya smiled and felt her relieved stomach with her fingers. "That was a good shit I just took."
"Thank you for letting me watch, Priya."
"Now here's the game." Priya announced. "You are going to spot every single piece of shit that I just dropped and beg me for permission to eat it. I will tell you what you need to do each time. Understood?"
"Yes, Priya."
"Go ahead, then. What's the first piece of shit a human being must eat just after I've taken a fresh dump?" Priya asked. I checked around for pieces of her shit hoping to point at the right one, only to receive the tightest ever slap from her hands. "You unworthy loser. I can't believe I'm even considering you for a shit-eater position."
"I'm sorry, Priya. Please tell me what I forgot."
"This!" Priya pointed to the crack of her buttocks, which had a gigantic brown mound popping down from it. "When the Goddess takes a shit, your first concern in life is to wash her butt crack with your tongue. That way I can sit down somewhere to kick you in the gut."
"I can't believe I was such an idiot, Priya." I cried. "Please tell me what I need to do to earn the right to lick your buttocks clean."
"Hmm," Priya mused for a while before making up her mind. "I want to slap your face so hard, that blood should pour out. Take ten hard slaps from me, and I will allow you to lick the shit off my butt crack."
"Gladly, Priya." I knelt before her and looked up to her face, grabbing her thighs to help myself up. "Please slap me ten times…"
Before I could finish, Priya's left hand had risen high in the air to swing around and make a hard landing on my cheeks. I felt blood pour out into the quivering cheeks, as my ears rang the emergency siren blocking out all other sound. The only thing they could still discern was the sound of Priya giggling at my plight and counting "ten." This time, her right hand went up and swung through my cheek, throwing me over the toilet floor very close to a piece of her shit I still hadn't begged for. "Nine." Priya's hands gestured for me to rise up and take eight more devastating slaps to my cheeks before she threw my head over the lid of her commode. "One. There you go, you are now worthy of licking my bum clean."
"Th..thank you, Priya." I sank into the floor, my vision of the world blurred out.
Priya turned around and moved her naked buttocks right over my face and pointed to the center of the sweat-covered spheres. "Come here and lick off this shit." Even as she said that, my heart began to pump itself back to life. I loved the way she said "shit." I grabbed her upper thighs and stuffed my face into the darkness between the soft, glimmering balls and took the biggest lick of my life. Half a ton of shit was still stuck there, but I began to lick the consecutive layers off her buttocks and into my mouth. As a quality assurance measure, I stuck my tongue out at the bottom of her buttocks and licked my way up to the top of the butt crack. I swallowed, but there was no solid left to swallow there.
I moved before Priya, joined my hands together and bowed to her greatness. "Thank you for letting me wash your bum clean, my Goddess."
"Are you sure it's all clean?" Priya asked, grabbing my face and rubbing her buttocks all over them to see for herself. "Oh yes, you seem to have cleaned them up properly."
"It's the least I can do, Priya."
"Now, I want all the shit in this toilet eaten up." Priya said. "Start begging me."
I spotted a large lump of her shit next to the commode where she had now taken a seat. "Priya, what do I have to do to become worthy of eating this piece of your divine excrement?"
"Ten kicks to your gut." Priya stated. I knelt before her and offered my bare stomach for her to kick. Despite the meagre wiggle room, she managed to pull her legs back and swing them hard into my gut. I bent over to her feet as a defense against further kicks, but I had a job to do. Even as I pulled myself back up, I felt Priya's sadistic laugh under my skin. "That's why you should exercise and keep your stomach hard. See how hard mine is," she said, tapping her perfect washboard of a belly. "Little things differentiate winners from losers."
"True, Priya." I offered myself to her kick again, and she grabbed the offer, sending her powerful foot barricading through my soft belly. Despite everything, I got up and begged her for eight more. She was finally done with the ten kicks to my gut before she sat back.
"You can eat that piece of shit." Priya approved with a nod.
I bowed over to lick the very first piece of Priya's shit I had eaten in my life. Despite the overpowering urge to devour it, I got back up and clasped her feet in my hands. "Priya, may I have your divine feet on my head as I eat this piece of your shit?"
"I guess so," she conceded this one easily. As I bowed down to eat her shit, I felt her feet crushing me down to it. I opened up wide and swallowed as much of the brown substance as I could with one bite. It was strongly bitter and left a pungent odour as it slipped down my dry throat. I took more than a minute to swallow it, then I persistently licked the spot on the floor clean with my tongue, until there was no sign that her shit was ever there.
It was time for the next piece. I spotted the large gunk she had left at the edge of the toilet floor, and pointed to it. "Priya, I beg your divinity to allow me that piece of your shit. Please tell me what an unworthy slave like me has to do, to swallow those turds for you."
"You have to take ten knee kicks to your face." Priya laughed. She got up, grabbed my head at the level of her navel and sent her knee jamming into my face. I felt the bridge of my nose burst open, with drops of blood flowing down to the floor. Still, I managed to inhale and keep it all in so that Priya's knees wouldn't get dirty. She thrust one knee into my face after another, penetrating her knees through my skull several times. After what seemed like an eternity, the ten knee kicks were done and she threw me to the corner of her toilet. "I not entitle you to eat that piece of my shit."
"Thank you, Priya." With a spinning head, I groped around the room for the corner and sent my mouth foraging for the piece of her shit I had taken all the punishment for. Even as I began swallowing the stinky bitterness, I felt the warmth of her foot on my head.
"You know, at this rate I might make you my shit-eater by the end of next week." Priya said. "You wouldn't be a temp anymore."
The statement was plenty reassuring, but I couldn't help but bite further. "Priya, you haven't actually taught me how I should eat your shit."
"Oh yeah." Priya said. "I guess I will do that next week if you can stay alive and keep doing a good job for me. Just twelve more days to go."
"Thank you, Priya." I swallowed the last piece of her shit off the floor and licked the spot fully clean. Then I found the piece of her shit stuck to the wall. "Priya, how can a lowly inferior human like me become worthy of that piece of your shit?"
"I guess I will just butt-grind you into it." Priya said, gesturing me to go forth and attempt to swallow it from the wall. Even as my mouth made contact with her shit, Priya's round buttocks took a horizontal seat on my face and began crushing me into the walls. By some magic I was still able to clean up her walls and report my success to her.
"How about that little piece of shit, Priya?" I pointed to a tiny pellet next to the commode. "What would make me worthy of swallowing that for you?"
"Hmm," Priya said, stepping her foot on it. "You'll have to lick it off my feet if you want it." I thus began to lick her toes and the bottoms of her feet clean with my tongue, taking the shit right off them. Suddenly, she caught my face and kicked me several times with her sharp toenails. The feet came crashing in, over and over until I was bleeding out on the floor. "I now entitle you to eat yesterday night's shit," Priya said, pointing to the commode.

"This Says it ALL"
I really like knowing what is going on with the newest technologies.
I will make this sweet and simple. I read or listen to several books at a time going back and forth as my mood fits. Kill Decision did not allow that, once started you had to keep going and when it was over I wished it could go on but the smile on my face was all I had left. If DAEMON and FREEDOM were to your liking, then get going with Kill Decision.
"This Book will change your life"
If you like life, dogs, or family; then look no further. This is it.
You think the book is all about a guy and his dog who climb a bunch of mountains, but NO. The first 3 chapters throw you a curve ball but they are just setting you up for the fast ball right down the middle......swing away.
"Listen to Reader before purchasing"
I have never listened to a "Master and Commander" book before and after seeing the movie my expectations were very different than the actual book. I guess the movie makers just used the title "Far Side of the Earth". With that said I liked the story in general but had a very difficult time understanding the reader. So before you purchase this book you should listen to the clip, if you can understand the reader then this book is a good read.
This ending is like those of a weekly Television serial. There must be a next one.
"A book that entertains and informs....wow"
I truly enjoyed this work and best of all, learned much about the world we now live in.
This is a wonderfully told history, which if one can only step back, seems to be repeating itself today.
This book educates, entertains and may be used by the reader to get a more complete understanding of the what, when, where and why of so many events that our history books seem to only offer in bullet points.
Womens suffrage, Russian Revolution, Americas war with Mexico and oh yes, World War 1. I now understand how a World War could start over something as simple as one small country offending another small country. A very good Book.
Crichton at his best. I rarely leave reviews but this was the best one of I have read.

Adjustable-rate mortgages, which all but vanished during the housing bust, are again gaining popularity.
Home prices and interest rates rose last year, and adjustable mortgages can help keep the monthly payment affordable – at least temporarily. Such mortgages offer a lower initial rate, but that rate can rise over time with market changes.
With interest rates expected to rise this year, the proportion of those ARMs could increase further.
"Generally, as rates increase, ARMs become more popular," said Guy D. Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance.
Lenders recently offered, on average, a 3.05 percent interest rate for a 5/1-year ARM. Borrower would get that rate for five years, and then the loan starts to adjust annually with the market. That's compared with 4.53 percent for a 30-year fixed loan, according to mortgage giant Freddie Mac.
Mortgage brokers say borrowers who plan to move after a few years, or those with considerable, but irregular, income could be well-suited for an ARM.
"A big percentage of my clients are freelance employees in entertainment," Ciolino said. "So they are going job to job, and they are concerned with having a higher mortgage payment."
ARMs have been most popular in some higher-priced communities. That's a contrast to last decade's housing bubble, when lenders flooded working-class communities with extremely risky mortgages. One such product – known as the option ARM – allowed borrowers to pay even less than the interest owed, swelling the size of the loan as unpaid interest was added on to principal.
Many borrowers who took such loans bet home prices would continue to rise, allowing them to easily refinance or sell before the first adjustment. Many got burned when home prices plummeted, preventing any refinancing.
It's unclear whether such thinking has changed, but the loans have. The crash stung lenders as well, making them skittish about offering the riskiest products.
Largely gone are option ARMs and loans with very low "teaser" rates that quickly exploded into payments that borrowers couldn't afford. Lenders during the bubble years also qualified borrowers based on teaser rates, increasing the likelihood of default.
"The ARM products that remain in the marketplace today … are really venerable, long-dated products," said Keith T. Gumbinger, vice president of financial publisher HSH.com.
New federal regulations that took effect in January should further curtail some of the riskier ARMs, including interest-only products and those with balloon payments.
Adjustable-rate loans may work for some buyers, such as a family in which one parent will return to work after staying home with the kids, said Gary Kalman, an executive vice president with the Center for Responsible Lending.

June 16th, 1970
Back at Electric Lady Jimi records the master takes of "Night Bird Flying" and "Straight Ahead." Joined by percussionist Juma Sultan these sessions proved to be among his most productive in the post-Electric Ladyland days. He follows these recordings with takes of "Beginnings," "Freedom," and a loose recording simply titled "Messing Around."
June 17th, 1970
Returning once again to Electric Lady, Hendrix enthusiastically kicked off the session right where the prior night's left off. In visiting "Straight Ahead" Hendrix, Billy Cox, and Mitch Mitchell concentrated on forming a new master take of the song. The trio then moves to recordings for "Astro Man."
Feeling playful, Jimi brings the session to a quick halt before yelling for tape machine to start recording. Assured that the tapes are rolling Jimi breaks into a high octave vocal take of "Drifter's Escape."
June 26th, 1970
Hendrix returned to Electric Lady where he revisited a number of previously recorded compositions for overdubbing. Work on this night included visits to "Message To Love," "Earth Blues," "Steeping Stone," Valleys Of Neptune," and a rough demo of "Heaven Has No Sorrow."
July 02nd, 1970
Another day of recordings at Electric Lady resulted in considerable progress on "Ezy Rider."
July 15th, 1970
Additional sessions at Electric Lady saw Hendrix revitalize previous work on "Come Down Hard On Me." In 1973 Electric Lady's engineer John Jansen posthumously edited the track for inclusion on Loose Ends.

Yes, but does David have it within him to wake up before it's too late? Gervais pauses before answering, as though he's considering a real guy with real potential.
"I think he does," he says. "I think he does, to be honest. In those quiet moments no one ever sees, just when he's alone in the dark in his bedsit or wherever he lives, I think he does."

18 Actually Affordable Wedding Accessories
Details matter when planning a wedding, down to the exact shade of pink Essie polish you and your bridesmaids wear and the post-reception shoes you slip on when you head to the airport. But all of those little things can add up to one big price tag if you're not careful. That's why we've put together this guide to help you find shoes, jewelry, and even bridesmaid dresses for less than $100 (and in some cases, less than $20). -Natalie Brown
You don't have to buy Choos to have fab feet on your big day. Whether you go for an accent color or a basic white, you can find almost any look for less than $100. The BCBG Paris Faythe Metallic Sandal ($59.95 at dsw.com) is strappy and elegant, and definitely has wearability potential beyond the ceremony. Going for something more sparkly? Try rsvp Gigi in Gold ($79 at zappos.com). For a shoe that lets you dance until the wee hours of the morning, pick the Lucia Metallic Jewel Encrusted Flip Flops ($29.50 at davidsbridal.com).
You can have matching jewelry for you and your bridesmaids without splurging on real pearls. Go for understated sparkle with the Givenchy Crystal Stud Earrings ($32 at nordstrom.com). Your bridesmaids will be amazed when you pass out Nadri Pearl Hand-Knotted 8mm Pearl Necklaces ($65 each at dillards.com). Or, opt for something more ornate with these Opal Essence Opal Double Drop Pierced Earrings ($55 at carolee.com) — you'll get a discount if you order 5 or more, so you can hand one out to every bridesmaid.
Hair Accessories
You can have a gorgeous handmade accessory for less than a typical Starbucks order, like this Champagne Satin Flower ($11 on etsy.com). Go feminine with the Bridal Classic Bow ($45 on shopbando.com), or sparkly with the Belle Hair Comb ($35 at lovealwaysannemarie.com).
Bridesmaid Dresses
Put your besties in something they'll really love, like this Ally McTeal Dress ($59.99 at modcloth.com), a strappy, flowy number. The One Shoulder Chiffon Dress with Petal Detail ($99.99 at davidsbridal.com) comes in over a dozen colors, so you can make sure it fits your wedding's theme. Go for ultra simple and accessorize in this Pleated A-Line Dress ($24.80 at forever21.com).
Reception Dresses
We like the idea of wearing something white to the reception, even if you don't want to be burdened by your heavy ceremony dress. Save a little cash for your honeymoon with this Feather Ice Dress ($89.99 at modcloth.com). Looking for something with girly lace? Try this Pleated Texture Lace Dress ($29.80 at forever21.com). Option three: pick an ankle-length maxi, like this ASOS Maxi Dress ($93.25 at asos.com).
Getaway Clothes
Because really, who wants to wear a cocktail dress to the airport? Stay warm on the plane in this Merino Boyfriend Sweater ($88 at jcrew.com) and your favorite pair of jeans, then pull it off to reveal the Soutache Embroidered Henley in Marine ($68 at cwonder.com). Wear cute but comfy shoes, like the Audrey Slip-On Boat Shoe in Platinum Leather ($80 at sperrytopsider.com).

My friend is actually getting married next year and some of her friends are having problem with their wedding accessory when I mentioned that the wedding reception will be at Villa Marcello. So that's why I'm researching alternatives for them because I selected the venue and I am the wedding organizer. They say an extravagant/luxurious wedding reception venue should be matched with expensive jewelry. I don't think it is needed to wear expensive stuffs, the bride should! Only the bride has the rights to stand out from the rest and shine bright like a diamond! I think list of alternatives provided online is enough for her friends.
I loooove the asos maxi dress… I bet it would look even better in black! lol
Good tips

I had just been playing Battlefield 3 on my console online, and your getting into a match and you get kicked for no apparent reason. As I looked closely at the server, it stated i wasn't allowed a particular weapon.
I understand rules like these being implemented into PC games because PC gamers are use to it, but should we let servers like these infect consoles as well? Consoles tend to have alot more 'casual' players and consoles seem to be the go to things when you just want to relax, however as soon as you start putting server rules and custom servers into games where people can get kicked at a moments notice, seems to counteract what a console is designed for.
So what do you think guys? Are you more then happy to accept the rules and allow custom servers into our games, or do you not like to adjust your gameplay style based on somebody else's preference, and just play your way?

It appears to me that the use of rdf:nodeID makes it impossible to correctly transform an RDF/XML document into n-triples without first checking for all the rdf:nodeID uses in the document. Otherwise a generated blank node id could accidentally be the same as one used (later) in an rdf:nodeID in the document. peterReceived on Thursday, 28 November 2002 10:55:48 GMT

Why are we celebrating Es? Well, E3's just around the corner and it's got three of 'em. Electronic Entertainment Expo, right? So we thought we'd celebrate this oft-maligned letter cos... well, let's face it, no-one else is going to.
Link's horsey is so cool, she's got her own song. How many horses have their own song? Exactly. She's also in Zelda games from different time periods, yet she's apparently the same horse, which makes her hundreds of years old. Maybe that's what the words to her tune are - "Horse that's old / horse that's old / horse that's old but cool".
Above: Awesome horse eats awesome sauce for breakfast
You know it's the end boss. Why? Because you just beat what could only be described as the 'last' boss and now something friggin enormous has emerged and plonked itself down in front of you with a look that says 'I'm going to kill you to death'. It's got 8,000 life bar segments, a special attack that you can only dodge if you picked up the cantaloupe spanner silencer at the start of level 1 and it's got the game's credits tattooed on its arse.
Above: You've only got 19 seconds left as Super Sonic, Sonic. Do 'im!
Electricity paralyses fleshy enemies. It short-circuits robot enemies. It courses through water and destroys duck-based enemies. In short, electrical attacks are awesome. Think it's co-incidence that the most famous Pokemon of them all is Electric-type? Let's see how your crumby Piplup does againt Pikachu, shall we? Yeah, come back when you've grown some Voltorbs.
Above: You'd look happy too if you could do that. Shazam!
Hundred Hand Slap! Ah, memories. Like when you're fighting Bison at the end of Street Fighter II and your mum looks at you hammering the punch button when you've got him cornered and says "I think it's time to switch that off now". It wasn't that you'd gone insane, nor that you'd turned into some button mashing imbecile over the hour you'd been playing it. It's a legitimate move that requires fast consecutive presses, mother. But... we can see how it might not have looked that way.
Above: E Honda may be fat, but he sure can slap stuff
PlayStation 2's brain gave us some of the best years of our gaming lives and it's all down to this little chip. We remember something at PS2's unveiling about how it would let AI characters smell things and feel sad, happy or anything else, which was quite unlike anything seen before. Yup it was that powerful. Sadly, it was also like nothing seen after, leaving everybody rather bemused. Oh, well that's an emotion right there, so it worked. Sort of.
Above: The 'Emotion Engine' inside every PS2. Pretty emotionless really

I was lucky enough to receive a gift card from Proflowers. They gave me $50.00 and it was enough to make my husband's day. I say I am lucky because it isn't often I get to splurge on sending flowers. I always thought it was out of my budget. I was able to send him orchids for his desk for $50.00 which included the $9.99 shipping fee. I figured they stay in bloom for a couple of months and it will remind him we value what he does for us. When I was asked to do this review, I asked if I could make one of your days by hosting a giveaway and they agreed. I have $100 to offer to one of you lucky winners. I mean if you look at what ProFlowers charges, you could potentially honor two or three of the people you hold dear.
You can send love right now! Don't forget to send flowers to your special someone for every special occasion. ProFlowers is offering fresh flowers starting at $19.99, plus they come with a Free glass vase. You can also check out their chocolates, bears, and other gift items which are perfect for Valentine's Day.

rear frame
needing a rear frame for my 35 ford pro-street. Considering all kinds of options from having a tubular hand built, reworking the current rails, or buying a universal kit from JEGS. I have found those of course that want to sell me a whole frame, which I don't need. Additionally, I don't want a package with the rear end housing as I already have a narrowed ford 9". Just a simple weld in, made to fit, narrowed rear frame. I have searched the internet and cannot find a company that builds rear pro-street frames to fit the old fords. I hate to butcher my trunk other than the amount needed for tubs. Someone must make a package that can be ordered to FIT rather than the universal (one size fits all) deal. If anyone knows of of where they can be had, please let me know.

the effects of social and emotional learning programs were equivalent to a 10 percent point gain in test performance (Durlak, Weissberg, et al., 2007). Students participating in the program also demonstrated improvements in school attendance, school discipline, and grades. Hoagwood, Olin, et al. (2007) found similar results in a review of school-based interventions that targeted psychological problems, with 15 of 24 studies showing benefits for both psychological functioning and academic performance. However, the academic effects were modest and often short-lived.
Reviews of violence prevention initiatives support their efficacy in reducing violence and aggressive behavior (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007; Hahn, Fuqua-Whitley, et al., 2007). Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of 53 universal prevention interventions, the CDC Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommends the use of universal school-based programs for preventing violence and improving behaviors in school. The effects of the reviewed programs were generally greater among preschool and elementary school-age children (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007).
A recent report by the surgeon general disputes the myth that nothing works with respect to treating or preventing violent behavior (U.S. Public Health Service, 2001c). The report identifies 7 model and 21 promising programs, primarily school-based, for preventing either violence or risk factors for violence.2
The Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence applies a rigorous set of criteria (experimental design, effect size, replication capacity, sustainability) to identify programs effective in reducing adolescent violent crime, aggression, violence, or substance abuse. The center has identified 11 model programs and 17 promising programs,3 several of which are highlighted in this and the next chapter. Most have demonstrated positive effects on multiple problem outcomes.
A number of interventions that combine multiple types of programs (e.g., parenting and schools) or multiple levels (e.g., universal and selective) are beginning to emerge, primarily in elementary schools. The Incredible Years Program (see Box 6-2) combines parent and school interventions and has been tested in both preschool and elementary settings.
In some cases, integrated efforts have included a family or school-based
See http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/youthviolence/toc.html.
See http://www.colorado.edu/cspv/blueprints. Other recommended school-based programs not highlighted in these chapters listed on this site include the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program and the I Can Problem Solve Program.

Amarin Announces First Notification Of U.S. Patent Allowance Based On ANCHOR Clinical Trial Results
BEDMINSTER, N.J. and DUBLIN, Ireland, Jan. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (Nasdaq:AMRN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published notification of a Notice of Allowance for Amarin's U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 12/815,569 titled "Compositions and Methods for Lowering Triglycerides Without Raising LDL-C Levels in a Subject on Concomitant Statin Therapy." This application includes claims intended to protect the proposed Vascepa ® (icosapent ethyl) indication based on Amarin's Phase 3 ANCHOR clinical trial results. Amarin is on track to file a Supplemental New Drug Application for the Vascepa ANCHOR indication with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of February 2013, and expects an FDA action date on the application before the end of 2013.
A Notice of Allowance is issued after the USPTO makes a determination that a patent can be granted from an application. The issued patent would have a term that expires no earlier than in 2030. Amarin plans to list this patent in the FDA's Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, or Orange Book, after issuance of the patent and the anticipated approval of Vascepa in the ANCHOR indication.
The claims in this allowed application cover a method of use relating to Vascepa's ANCHOR indication. Specifically, the allowed independent claim covers use of icosapent ethyl, or EPA, including Vascepa, in lowering triglycerides through the daily administration of about 4 capsules, each containing about 900 mg to about 1000 mg of EPA, regardless of EPA purity with not more than about 3% docosahexaenoic acid."We are very pleased to announce this Notice of Allowance, the first from many pending patent applications with the USPTO expected to cover our planned ANCHOR indication for Vascepa," stated Joseph Zakrzewski, Chairman and CEO of Amarin. "The claims cover a significant range of EPA dosage strengths administered to patients on any statin product. This allowance is based upon showings that important clinical results for Vascepa in Amarin's ANCHOR trial were surprising and unexpected, key factors considered by the USPTO in granting a patent."

This Minute at Runco
Game-Changing Live Action CinematographyThursday, August 01, 2013
Those of you who are following this blog or Runco's Facebook page, know that we have asked for recommendations of what I should watch on the new QuantumColor Q-750d projector going into my new home theater. Our own cinema expert, Jeremy Sternhagen, told me today that his recommendation from my list was definitely Sam Mendes' latest installment to the James Bond series, SkyFall. "It's the best looking of the three," he said and then added jabbingly, "Plus, cartoons don't count." Of course, Cars and Avatar are mostly computer generated animation (CGI) without the use of traditional cameras.
I asked Jeremy why he preferred Skyfall, beyond the fact that it was live action, and his response was insightful, as always. "This movie was shot digitally with the Arri Alexa camera. Anything I have seen shot with that camera is stunning on BluRay. In fact, this was the first movie I ever saw that wasn't shot with 70mm film that I thought could give 70mm a run for its money."
He went onto explain that Roger Deakins, who was the cinematographer on Skyfall, is a huge and vocal fan about the Alexa camera. In a November 2011 article, he told the American Society of Cinematographers that "the Alexa is a game-changer. This moment has been coming for a long time, really, but with the Alexa I believe digital has finally surpassed film in terms of quality. What is quality? It's really in the eye of the viewer, but to me, the Alexa's tonal range, color space and latitude exceed the capabilities of film. This is not to say that I don't still love film — I do. I love its texture and grain, but in terms of speed, resolution and clarity of image, there is no question in my mind that the Alexa produces a better image. There is a beautiful roll-off between highlights and shadows [on the Alexa] that I haven't seen before. There's a subtlety in color rendition that is fantastic. I tested it in candlelight, and it was beautiful how the camera picked up variations in skin tones and texture. If you shot that same scene with film, you'd get a very monochromatic feel — just a color wash — but the Alexa can read subtleties that film cannot."
Deakens has 10 Academy Award nominations, including this past year, but not a single win. "A cinematic crime in my opinion," Jeremy asserted. This year's winner was the Life of PI which was beautiful, but heavily used digital effects, which are difficult to accurately compared with live action.
So, I asked Jeremy what other movies, shot on an Alexa, are worthy of screening in a Runco theater? "There are too many to list, but The Avengers and Hugo are a few that are demo worthy." We'll definitely add these our list, especially since some of these are among my children's favorites. To see other movies shot with the Arri Alexa, see the filmography.
What other movies would you recommend us watching on opening night (or shortly there after)? Leave your comments and ideas on Runco's Facebook page.

Just curious what yall thought on value here. I have a pair of Remington shotguns. The first is an 870 Express Magnum Combo 12 gauge with 28" and 21" barrels, and a 870 Express .410 They have the exact same finish, and both are in like new condition and weren't used much. Just wondering what yall thought honest market value would be. I've checked gunbroker and armslist and other online sales sites, the general price range was higher than I had estimated and the average was roughly $1000 for the pair. I thought it would make a good father and son combo deal since they both look the same. I'd also throw in the DMC Hard case that holds 2 long guns.
A good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite point in the future.

If you get $1,000 for those you definitely need to go in the used car business. I would consider $500 good. There are just so many of them out there, and finding someone who wants a 410 and a 12 is problematic.
What could have happened... did.
An Express is not a Wingmaster either. I guess little guns are just cheaper down here in Louisiana.
Either way General, prove 'em wrong and get that $1,000! No reason to ask and argue when they give you their opinion. The 870 Express is such a reliable and well made arm, with an extra barrel and that rare .410 will get a premium commensurate with their quality over a simple ol' Mossberg. Shut those guys' dirty mouths and live large!
Either way, no matter who's right or wrong, NOW'S the market to sell into -- you'll never get more!! Hey, maybe if you stand outside The Moonlight Bunny Ranch and offer 'em for sale to the customers...
Now go get that windfall, and some satisfaction, then come back and tell us how ya did!!!
I accepted an offer from a guy in Alabama for $450 + shipping on the .410
I hope you do but I don't think you will get $550 for the 12 gauge maybe $350 but I hope you the best brother

Justice Kennedy May Be Deciding Vote In Defense Of Marriage Act Case
Originally published on Wed March 27, 2013 12:58 pm
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case challenging whether the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) means the federal government can deny marriage benefits to same sex couples in states that allow gay marriage. Same-sex couples had reason to be optimistic afterward. Assuming the court can overcome procedural concerns, it looked as if a majority of justices was ready to strike down DOMA.

Rep. Eric Massa said earlier this week that he wouldn't seek re-election, citing a health issue. The picture had changed by Friday, when Politico claimed that the Democratic congressman from New York was preparing to leave office even sooner amid allegations that he had sexually harassed a male staff member. Update: Massa says he will step down next week. Click here for his announcement. —KA
A House staffer with knowledge of the situation says Massa is preparing to announce his resignation and will break the news in the Corning Leader, his local newspaper, but several media outlets were already reporting the news Friday afternoon.
Massa, who was elected in November 2008, announced earlier in the week that he would not be seeking a second term following a cancer scare in December. He initially dismissed as "unsubstantiated" a POLITICO report that he was being scrutinized for improper advances to a junior aide in his office.

How do I know when and where to catch Metro?
Decide your routing and the time you want to travel. Please see Bus Routes. Or call Metro Customer Service at 341- 0800 (v) / 341-0807 (TDD).
Are Metro buses wheelchair accessible?
Wheelchair accessible service is available all day seven days a week. Every bus has either a lift or ramp. Each bus has seating for two wheelchairs. In addition, many of the buses can kneel - the front door side of the bus lowers for easier access. Kneeling buses are designated with a decal on the right front, rear of the front door or both.
Wheelchair and kneeling features are available for general public use, e.g., elderly, wheelchair users, persons with other mobility impairments, passengers traveling with such things as baby strollers, pull grocery carts, etc.
If you want to use lift/ramp or have the bus kneel, please ask the bus driver when the front door opens. The driver will be happy to activate these features for you.
Priority seating for elderly or handicapped persons is located in the front of the bus and designated by a decal posted in the windows directly adjacent to the seats. Is these seats are occupied, most passengers are willing to move when asked.
If a disability prevents you from traveling on a bus, Metro operates MOBY, an ADA certified complementary paratransit curb-to-curb van service. Here is information on MOBY and the ADA application form ..
How do I know I am boarding the correct bus?
The destination and route number are displayed on digital signs located above the windshield and to the left of the front door. If the route number on the bus matches the number printed on your schedule and the bus stop sign, hail your bus!
How much does it cost to ride Metro?
Please see fares and passes information.
Where does the fare go?
Every bus has a fare box located inside the front door next to the bus driver. Just slide your ticket or cash fare into the fare box. Fareboxes accept coins, bills and Metro one-ride tickets. The top of the farebox has two slots: one only accepts coins; the second only accepts dollar bills and tickets.
Do I pay to transfer?
Yes, a transfer costs twenty-five cents. Transfers received Monday through Friday are valid for 90 consecutive minutes. Transfers received on Saturday and Sunday are valid for 120 consecutive minutes. A transfer provides continuous travel in the same direction on as many as 3 buses to reach your destination. The transfer card has the issued time, bus number, route number and the expiration time printed on the back.
How do I signal the bus driver I want to get off?
Metro buses have two types of signaling devices. A bus will have either an overhead pull cord or a yellow strip between the windows. Notify the bus driver of your need to get off a block before your stop.
For persons with difficulty knowing where the bus is on the route, when you board please ask the bus driver to stop at a particular bus stop. It is advisable to sit in the priority seats located directly behind the bus driver. Keep in mind the drivers are busy and while they are there to assist our passengers, traffic/weather conditions and other passenger activities may cause them to miss stopping at your specific stop.

Hubert Joly, Best Buy President and CEO commented, "On revenue growth of 0.2%, we delivered non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.64. Adjusted free cash flow for the year reached $965 million as we aggressively reduced inventories and focused on working capital and cash flow management. To deliver these better-than-expected results, renewed momentum in the Domestic business more than offset continued softness in the International business."
