Carey's StoryThis recipe can also be made with ground turkey.
1 lb
ground beef, 93% lean
1/2 medium
yellow onions, chopped
2 Lg clove
garlic, minced
1 1/2 c
1 can(s)
tomato sauce, 15 oz.
2 can(s)
petite diced tomatoes, 14.5 oz.
1 1/2 Tbsp
soy sauce
1 Tbsp
dry oregano
1 tsp
dry basil
bay leaf
1/2 Tbsp
seasoned salt
1/4 tsp
black pepper
1 c
elbow macaroni, uncooked
Directions Step-By-Step
1In a large Dutch oven, cook the meat over medium heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks into small pieces. Cook until the meat is cooked through and there's no longer any pink. Stir in the onions and garlic. Cook and stir the mixture until the onions are translucent.
Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, oregano, basil, bay leaves, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the pasta, cover, and simmer over low heat until the pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and refrigerate, if possible, overnight. If you must, you could serve it, but it's much better if you wait until the next day and reheat it.
You can also add a can of corn, ½ cup celery, ½ cup green bell pepper , different types of cheese, or even, no cheese at all.

Dear Riot,
Please fix the launcher error that crashes the launcher as soon as it loads. I have two friends who have been trying to play this game for 3 months, and neither of them can do anything more than click lol.exe and watch it say the application has encountered an error and will now close. For clarification, this is NOT the problem that many others are describing where their launcher crashes as PVP.net files are being updated. Rather, IMMEDIATELY after opening lol.exe it crashes.
Don't ask for logs or dxdiags, you have plenty of them throughout the forums. I've gone from suprise to downright bewilderment at the lack of support for this problem. The forums are STUFFED with threads describing this problem where the OP just keeps bumping his own thread. MAYBE if he's lucky a mod will tell him to post a dxdiag or a log. As far as the troubleshooting pages suggesting registry cleaning or installing to different paths, those are old and haven't worked for anyone.
I'm so baffled as to why Riot focuses on updates like tweaking skill cooldowns or adding new champions when there is a whole audience out there that can't start the game
it looks really, really bad on the company.
Running Naked Fat Man
Actually DXDiag is very helpful as they are specific to the system that they come from. Also logs can give a good idea on what is happening. So the DXDiag's already on the forum won't do any good for your friends situation. So I will ask for those, have them post them please.
What sort of steps have your friends taken to try and resolve the issue?
As for the support? Riot isn't where it would like to be, and support is very overwhelmed right now. So yes, it is lacking. That is why Wrenchmen were started.
I know that a dxdiag is unique and specific to the system. However, the issue of the launcher crashing at startup is not unique as many threads have been started about the problem. To date I've read every thread on the topic and every time a user experiencing this problem posts dxdiag, there is no further response or perhaps, as I said before, someone directs the person to a very broad and generic solution which has already been suggested several times before and been shown NOT to fix the problem.
"Also logs can give a good idea on what is happening. So the DXDiag's already on the forum won't do any good for your friends situation."
Logs have been posted in several different threads with the EXACT SAME ERRORS detailed repeatedly. The reason I'm being *****y about the logs and dxdiags is because for 3 months that is the extent of progress on this problem; as far as I have read this is how it always goes: THE LAUNCHER CRASH AT STARTUP IS DETAILED > DXDIAG AND LOGS ARE REQUESTED> DXDIAG AND LOGS POSTED > NO FURTHER RESPONSE
okay? we need further response, now
if you want dxdiags and logs I'm telling you there are plenty of them already posted
"What sort of steps have your friends taken to try and resolve the issue?"
1. Reinstall (3 times)
2. Clean reinstall w/ registry cleaning
3. Disabling firewall and network issues in every way possible, including removing router and connecting directly as DMZ host, as well as ending the process of windows firewall. Windows firewall is turned OFF, antivirus is turned OFF
4. Downloading and running the standalone client
5. Creating a new admin account on windows XP, switching to that user and running the program as admin
6. Deleting files with LauncherFix.vsb (http://kb.leagueoflegends.com/questi...y+Notification)
All drivers are updated, he is running XP SP3
This is the extent of help in the knowledge base for this problem: http://kb.leagueoflegends.com/questi...enced+an+Error
and that is sad
What are the exact system specs? Again, this is where I would want that DxDiag.
QA Analyst
As a note, this forum has been severely understaffed for the past month; I've posted multiple times saying this. With an extra Wrenchmen, Jesse finally being able to assign his time here, and slightly less offline stuff going on for me, there's three people helping when before there was less than half of one :P.
I apologize for the delayed/nonexistent service in the past, but we don't needlessly ask for information (or intentionally ignore it when given).
That being said, I can't speak for all of us but I know I'd personally appreciate if you didn't attack us while asking for help. We'll provide it anyways, but it's much easier to empathize with someone who's polite.
Thank you for being so thorough with your update as to previous steps you've taken.
For us to help you here further, you're going to need to post a DxDiag for the pertinent system, a Netalyzer, and let us know the installation directory. This is regardless of any other thread on this forum unless it pertains specifically to the system in question.
I'm sorry you feel I'm attacking you because I'm not. I'm being direct, insistent, and thorough, because that's the approach that works. Being polite is nice but has nothing to do with results I'm afraid.
Regardless of whether tech support is understaffed or non-existent the main objective of the developers should be to make a game that runs on peoples' systems. This isn't a job for "tech support," it's a very central problem - the game is not running. Again, I feel that most of the responses towards this problem are banking on the chance that the problem is on the USER's end (i.e. low system specs, incorrect OS) when it is clearly not.
with that said I'll try to get my friend's dxdiag soon.
what's a netalyzer? the log?
Netalyzer. Thanks for your cooperation, I have a better understanding of where you're coming from now.
I'd like to say, though, that we deal with polite/'direct' threads equally; the past month has been rough, and we're just now able to get a handle on it.
The majority of tech support is with the game not running for one reason or another. Because of the nature of tech support, we exhaust every available chance that it is on the users system first. There's about a thousand threads per month in this forum; if we assumed that each was a problem on Riot's end they'd never get anything done chasing ghosts. When a huge group of users all start experiencing the same problem at the same time, it MIGHT be something on their end that they all have in common (see: antiviruses all reacting hostilely towards the latest launcher patch) but that is a situation where it's worth it to check on Riot's end what is causing the problem.
Even if a problem affects a very very small amount of users (even a single one), once we've absolutely determined that the problem lies on Riot's end, THEN we take steps to correct it there.
Getting logs from the user is just the first step, and is useful information even if the problem IS on Riot's end. (There are obviously users still playing: what is different about them than the ones having the problem? This is very useful information as to what the problem might be and possible fixes).
Hopefully we both understand each other's motivations a bit better now .
A good example of how taxing this can be is an encounter last night. For about 4 hours Jozrael and I were working on an issue with a player. We exhausted every possible cause we could come up with, and then some. We eventually convinced the person to re-install the game into its default directory (C:\riot) and that fixed the issue.
So we do appreciate you being persistent and getting this to our attention, as we might learn something from this issue that we didn't know before. Every time we resolve one issue for a player it allows us to better help others.
I will check back tomorrow to see if you have those logs up so we can continue the support.
here ya go

I just purchased this bike and as I am new to the whole bike building process I thought I would ask for some help. I definitely dont want expensive campy parts on this as I will be using it to ride to school and work and this college town is big on road/track/fixie bikes and people will steal almost anything. Is is true that repainting it decreases the resale and overall value? Its not celeste but more of a pastel green as you can see. There are rust in a few places that I am worried about but other than that it has been kept in pretty good shape. Anyway any suggestions anyone might have is greatly appreciated.

Parents of chief's accuser praise her
Through their lawyer, Attorney Richard Lehmann of Douglas, Leonard, and Garvey in Concord, Todd and Cynthia Westfall of Bridgewater issued a statement supporting their daughter, Janelle Westfall, a Colby-Sawyer College student.
"We are extremely proud of Janelle's courage in coming forward during such a frightening situation," they said in the statement. "Her concern from the beginning was to prevent this from happening to others."
Seastrand resigned on April 4 as part of a negotiated agreement with the Attorney General's Office after an investigation into his actions on March 6, the day that Janelle Westfall claims he asked her to pose nude for photos in exchange for having her charges dropped.
Westfall was arrested for underage alcohol possession and giving a false name to police, according to her lawyer, who said he will be filing a civil suit on her behalf against the chief in the days ahead.
Seastrand, 50, who had announced his retirement to the town on April 1 without giving a reason, has not spoken publicly since his departure from town, where he served as chief since 1995 and was a police officer since 1986.
His attorney, Nicholas Brodich of Tarbell and Brodich in Concord, has said his client does not want to "try" the case alleged by Westfall in the news media, and said Seastrand would not speak on the matter at present.
The Attorney General's Office said at least four women have come forward since Seastrand's resignation with complaints about his conduct, and authorities are now investigating those claims.
On April 5, with full knowledge of news accounts of the attorney general's investigation and Seastrand's resignation, the town's selectmen issued a public statement of support for Seastrand.
"Chief Seastrand has indicated that due to an investigation undertaken by the state Attorney General's Office, he is unable to give his full focus to his duties as chief . The selectmen reiterate their strong support for Chief Seastrand and appreciation for his service to the town of New London for the past 27 years," the statement said.
In their statement Thursday, Westfall's parents were thankful for support their daughter has received.
"We are thankful for the support she is receiving from the great number of those that know, love and respect her as well as from a great number of strangers from across the country.
They said their daughter was home-schooled for five years through the accredited Central Christian Academy where she graduated with a 4.0 grade point average. "Over the years she had the opportunity to volunteer many times in her community working with young children," they said.

Palladino: Learning to love running
|The beginning runners of the YMCA running group gather outside the Greater Waterbury YMCA Sunday morning. More than 70 beginning runners joined the 10-week program, which culminates Nov. 20 with a run in the five-mile Fischang-Cicchetti Road Race. (Joe Palladino/RA)
WATERBURY -- If you spend any time downtown in the Center of the Universe you have seen them, a mob of people jogging, walking and laughing.
We who do not run do not understand how running and laughing work together, but the people in the Greater Waterbury YMCA's beginner's running club have it figured out.
The 10-week program for new runners is a spinoff of the Y's triathlon club. It targets those of us who need to exercise, want to exercise, but can't take that first step out the door.
"My sister (Tracie Wrinn) is a member of the triathlon club," said Michele Marchetti. "I figured, if she can do it, I can do it."
We all think that, but never act on it. Erin Benvegnu said it this way: "I always wanted to exercise, but I always found an excuse."
Every one of us excels at excuses. Adam Simonsen, a program mentor, said the goal is to help the unmotivated "learn to enjoy running. This is for people looking to get inspired."
The program is now in week five. It boasts 70 first-time runners. They tell the same story. They could not get started. They wanted to exercise. They wanted to lose weight.
Jenn Hibbs spoke for the group when she said, "I hate running, but I am having fun with this."
There are running groups aplenty, but the YMCA gang is unique for one reason: Every runner is a newbie. Every runner gasped for breath the first day after one block.
But they gasped together.
Another mentor, Sarah Jarvic, ran her second marathon Saturday, in Hartford, in 4 hours, 26 minutes, yet she came right back on a chilled Sunday morning with her rookies.
"They are here for each other," Jarvic explains, "to commiserate together when things are tough."
New runners, who would happily roll over in bed rather than get up for an early-morning jog, are now downtown at the Y ready to go in the a.m. "You know that people are here waiting for you, so you get up," said Jarvic.
The plan seems too simple to be practical.
"The first week, we ran for 30 seconds," said Marchetti, "and then walked for one minute."
That's it? That's it. They covered only one mile of real estate.
You are urged to do that at least three times a week, as a group. Running sessions are Sundays at 10 a.m., Mondays at 9:30 a.m. and 6 p.m., Tuesdays at 6 a.m., Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., and Thursdays at 6 p.m. Of course, you can go it alone if you must.
Each week they add a half mile to the run/walk. Sunday it was a five minute jog and a two minute walk covering 2 1/2 miles.
The jog is stretched out each week over 10 weeks, with the ultimate goal being a five-mile run on the third Sunday in November: Fischang-Cicchetti Road Race day. Graduation comes with a bib number.
For Benvegnu, and everyone, it will be a first-ever road race. She said she'll be ready to jog out the full five miles. "When it is over, I can't wait to say, 'I did it.'"
Hibbs admits, "I am becoming addicted to running."
I knew it. These people are brainwashed. The Y has them running, laughing, and getting healthier.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

But in a slightly different place or time, Snoop would be a pariah. He's an ex-gangbanger who still reps the Crips, a consummate champion of drug use, and a serial misogynist who openly brags about beating women in his songs. More alarmingly, he has been accused (and subsequently acquitted) of murder and rape.
So how exactly does Snoop get away with it? It's called image manipulation. Outtakes takes a look at two other notable bad boys and suggests ways they could Snoopify themselves.
Osama Bin Laden
Problem: World public enemy number one.
Solution: As Snoop has shown, there's nothing wrong with having a strong pimp hand. But Osama fails to carry it off with the same panache as Snoop, who redefined the role with colorful clothing and playful videos. For starters, we'd suggest OBL rein in those rambling, fire-and-brimstone speeches. After all, the only thing worse than being a terrorist is being a bore. Osama should also spice up his all-too-infrequent videos with some hot-ass "burqa babes." Even if Muslim women can't show skin, that inch-wide eye swath will drive dudes crazy.
As a secondary line of offense, we suggest that Osama lose the drab traditional robes. While he may feel silly in a velvet pimp suit and top hat, it's way sexier than the "fugitive in a cave" look.
Kim Jong-Il
Problem: Dictator and cult leader. And he's lonely.
Solution: Fewer nukes, more Daisy Dukes. We suggest Kim Jong-Illin' (his new handle) throw himself headfirst into film and television. Snoop was able to parlay his rap career into several movie appearances. Yeah, the movies were generally horrible (The Wash and Soul Plane, anyone?), but his roles reinforced his lovable, innocuous image. It's doubtful that the sexless and savage Ill One ever had any acting lessons. But like Snoop, he's probably a natural just waiting for his big break his cameo in Team America notwithstanding. Does Dr. Evil need a long-lost twin?
Snoop Dogg performs at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, January 14, at Revolution, 200 W. Broward Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $40. Visit www.jointherevolution.net, or call 954-727-0950.

Before last season, Adam Scott was regarded as one of the best golfer's in the world, having won over thirty tournaments. But he was known just as much for what he had not accomplished, blowing a final round four shot lead in the 2012 British Open, and ultimately earning the title of "golf's best player without a major."
That all changed last April in Augusta when Scott won a memorable sudden death playoff, outdueling Angel Cabrera in two extra holes. "It was the best day of my life," Scott told me. "I've been pleasantly surprised at the confidence it's given me, and I haven't wanted to take the green jacket off since."
That confidence carried over to his first round defending his Masters title, as Scott fired a first round score of 69, one shot back of leader Bill Haas. "Having won last year, I think in some ways has taken a little pressure off me", Scott said. "What was the worst that can happen? I'm still going to be a Masters Champion."
Only Jack Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90), and Tiger Woods (2001-02) have successfully defended their Masters titles. Scott finds himself one shot back of the lead, with 54 holes remaining.
Scott, though, will not allow himself to consider joining that illustrious group just yet. But he's still beaming with pride over last year's victory, and using that "buzz," as he calls it, as fuel this year.
"It's all good vibes. It's really just been a thrilling week for me so far, and to go out and play in conditions like that today is just a treat around here."

"They said: `You're Laurie Lee, aren't you? Well just you sit there for the present.' I sat there all day but I never got it. I ain't going back there again." This is Laurie Lee's unforgettable description of his first day at school.
I have a special affection for this book, as my mother grew up in the Stroud area and was only two years younger than Laurie...

"They said: `You're Laurie Lee, aren't you? Well just you sit there for the present.' I sat there all day but I never got it. I ain't going back there again." This is Laurie Lee's unforgettable description of his first day at school.
I have a special affection for this book, as my mother grew up in the Stroud area and was only two years younger than Laurie. Even if they didn't actually know each other, it is very likely that they met.
The story manages to be both lyrical and realistic. One minute it presents a childhood idyll, next you are faced with death - sometimes sad, sometimes brutal.
The core of the story is the life of Laurie's large and boisterous family, living in cheerful poverty in their Cotswold cottage, and above all his mercurial, warm-hearted mother (his father plays only a bit-part in events). "She was an artist, a light-giver, and an original, and she never for a moment knew it."
It is a common tendency to look back on the period of one's youth as a turning point in history, but when you read the last chapter you will understand Laurie's claim "The village had a few years left, the last of its thousand, and they passed almost without our knowing".
Rosie really did exist. Indeed, she outlived Laurie, and only three years ago she was interviewed by BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
There have been two excellent TV adaptations of the story. Unfortunately neither is currently available on DVD. (Correction August 2008 - the more recent version starring Juliet Stevenson is now available.)
The book is as golden as the cider of the title - read it and delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars The end of a thousand years of rural life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cider with Rosie (Essential Penguin) (Paperback)
"Never to be forgotten, that first long secret drink of golden fire, juice of those valleys and of that time, wine of wild orchards, of russet summer, of plump red apples, and Rosie's burning cheeks. Never to be forgotten, or ever tasted again...."
I challenge any reader not be moved by the poetry and the passion of the prose in this work. Truly a classic of the twentieth century.
Deeply evocative, one can almost feel the weight of a thousand years of history, slowly disappearing while the young Laurie Lee grows up, in a chaotic house with his memorable mother and the brothers and sisters from his father's first marriage as well as the second (the father himself having left for London). We see the full, glorious spectrum of village life, almost pagan in the way everything is bound up in the seasons and the rhythms of the earth.
A book to read and read again.
"I was set down from the carrier's cart at the age of three; and there with a sense of bewilderment and terror my life in the village began."

5.0 out of 5 stars The edition with the perfect illustrations,
Peasant (Deepest England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cider with Rosie (Penguin Books) (Paperback)
The opening page of "Cider with Rosie" describes the world through the eyes of a toddler - mysterious, unpredictable, worryingly large. Laurie Lee's genius is to keep this magical, subjective, viewpoint intact throughout the book, growing as the author grows, understanding with each chapter more of the world he swims through, a wondering, innocent, cunning, superstitious presence. Although this book is often recommended for an insight into rural life a few decades ago - and by any standard, it is one of the best books on the subject - it is for his mastery of the "child's eye view" that we should respect the writer. He resists all temptations to be "cute", he refrains from commenting on his memories, he presents them to us in utter purity. By reading it, each of us, rural or not, is able to recapture the experience of being a small child.
Towards the latter part of the book, as the narrator matures and gains a more grown-up perspective, we see more of the darker side of his world, and at last understand that this is an elegy for something that Lee, even as he lived it, began to realise was slipping from his grasp. The emeotion we feel is not the sentimental nostalgia of TV's Lark Rise To Candleford, but Lee's own grief for what he cannot now recapture, except by writing this book.
"Cider with Rosie" will make you laugh and cry, but your feelings are never manipulated for effect. Every emotion you will feel is genuine and springs from deep wihin your own experience of being a child, and growing up. This edition, with the drawings by John Ward is the one to get - their nervous, unpolished line and strange quiet power make them the perfect companion to the words; they will send shivers down your spine.
For a factual, but equally magical picture of life in a Suffolk village just after the Second World War try Akenfield. For poems that will bring you something of the same feeling as Cider with Rosie, read A Shropshire Lad (Dover Thrift).

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic memoir,
Star_Sea "Xing" (Salisbury, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cider with Rosie (Essential Penguin) (Paperback)
Although Laurie Lee preferred to write poetry, he is best known for his prose: the trilogy of memoirs he wrote late in his life. "Cider with Rosie" is the first, detailing his childhood from the time he moves into his Gloucestershire home to just before he leaves to seek his fortune. His prose is extremely lyrical, especially when describing nature, his beloved mother and his three older half-sisters. Apart from the quality of the writing, "Cider with Rosie" should be read for the poetic descriptions of an England with few motorcars "where the horse was still king", agricultural communities that were able to function independently and hardly any interference from "the outside world".

5.0 out of 5 stars Eloquent,
kehs (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
This is a wonderfully told memoir of Lee's childhood in the remote Cotswold village of Stroud. He tells of how he grew up being raised in a one-parent family, his father having left them when he was just 3 years old. His mother believed for all of her life that one day her husband would return home to them, but sadly he never did. He used to send them a few pounds to support the home each week but Lee's life was one of poverty and hardship, yet he still took delight in many of the simple things in life. Lee's style of writing is beautifully descriptive and depicts a world before technology such as mobile phones and computers were even imagined. Sometimes funny, often sad, but extremely eloquently told, in this book Laurie Lee brings the distant past back to life and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gently Does It,
Wowbagger the Infinite (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cider with Rosie (BBC Full Cast Dramatisation) (Audio CD)
A fine BBC drama recording of the classic Laurie Lee autobiographical novel. Tim McInnerny is superb as the narrator/Laurie, Niamh Cusack has a valiant stab at a rural Gloucester accent and is very moving as the scatty, dreamy Mother, and the rest of the cast are very natural and easy on the ear, even the children. With the added sound effects and folk music this is a very faithful rendition of my favourite book. And the scenes at the village entertainment, particularly the sitar playing, will have you in stitches. Worthy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to my childhood.,
This review is from: Cider With Rosie (Vintage Classics) (Kindle Edition)
So many things that I had forgotten about my childhood. The sayings, the games, the smells of the countryside,dialects, nicknames. The futility of school lessons that were fearful when understanding wouldn't appear. Of holidays on my Aunties farm, collecting fruit for jamming, the Damson trees in the garden.
My elder brother, big to me but so small against the Bull that he was allowed to walk down the lane with a rope through its nose ring.
Endless fields and woods where we would play well into darkness without the fear of strangers or danger from them. Iced over ponds in harsh winters and
friends that drowned when the ice gave way. The bedroom windows thick with ice on the inside when morning came and the pictures that we drew in that ice before breathing hot air on it to clear the page. All these things that have changed in the name of progress, today's children with no childhood, of not knowing we were poor because everyone was. Of clothes that lasted till they wouldn't fit anymore. All these things and many many more that I had forgotten about lying deeply in the recesses of my mind that I have revisited again thanks to Laurie Lee and Cider with Rosie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative and wonderful look back in time,
Growing up in a small village in the early 1900's Laurie Lee describes how life could be simple, charming, wonderful, cruel and hard. His father left his mother with not only their children but also the children of his first marriage. Laurie's descriptive writing moves you back in time to experience his childhood, getting to know his siblings, his friends, his mother. How life was prior to school when he was allowed to run wild, adjusting to his first day at school with a baked potato in his pocket for lunch time, moving up to big school. No money, just a loving family. Going with his friends carol singing at Xmas to the Squire's house and on to the other big houses in the area, for the treats and pennies they would share out before going home. Seeing soldiers come home from the First World War, some okay, most broken in some way. He can make you feel the warmth of summer sun on his face and the icy cold of winter in the bedroom and bed he shared with his brothers. The steamy washdays in the kitchen and the fire his mother never would let go out. Absolutely loved it, an era now lost to us but I can still remember in the 1950s the Saturday washday, helping my mother do the weekly wash in the backyard, boiling the copper and putting the sheets through the mangle. It made me think how lucky we are now and, maybe, just pine a little for days lost.

SACB (Middlesex) - See all my reviews
I started reading the book thinking it might be a saccharine possibly too sentimental...instead all my senses were aroused to his Cotswolds valley at the begining of the C20...and how Laurie Lee tells his childhood is like a wave crashing over you on a summer's day by the seaside...I now know that village those characters and I love them...because they are so true...I have never read a book like it...quintessential English rural life...only imaginable through Laurie Lee's eyes, taste, nose, ears and touch

My Wife And Her New Friends On A Nude Beach
This story took place in the Caribbean. It is a well-known island with a popular clothing optional beach. Cruise ships frequent it and at one end of the beach is a large, nudist only resort.
Most of the nudist on the beach were from the nude resort. Otherwise it is fully dressed maybe some topless and thongs.
By the time of this trip my and I were pros on clothing optional beaches. She prefers clothing optional to total nude because she gets more attention being nude around people that are largely not nude.
Most of the nudists walking from down the beach were more exhibitionists then nudists. They would often walk well into the clothed area then turn around and walk back to the largely nude area – near the nude resort.
Our fist day on the beach was rather tame. We spent most of the day on the topless area. My wife was wearing a white g-string and shorts and tee shirt. She removed her shorts and tee shirt revealing her micro white bikini. Since our resort was a good walk, – about 15 minutes down a paved path that winded its way around 3 other resorts, and we needed to get a feel for the area. We picked a spot – not too crowded and she got comfortable in the sun on loungers and applied suntan oil. Like I said it was mostly uneventful day, she did get a lot of attention wearing only a g-string. The females tended to blatantly stare while the men were more gentlemen with their trying-not-stare but were staring.
My wife is an out-and-out exhibitionist. She loves attention, wearing short skirts and shows her small breasts through thin shirts without a bra. But she and I especially enjoy when she walks nude on a beach with both other nudists and optional nudists. She loves showing her little hairless ***** the most. She keeps so hair-free and smooth to show how tight the labia are, there is no inner lips visible.
On our second day, I asked her to be more daring. She said. "What do you mean"? I asked her to only wear her g-string and tank top to the beach. I told her I would carry all the necessary supplies. She only needed to wear her white walking sneakers, socks, and a g-string that obviously shows she was completely bald, showing a clear perfect outlined camel toe and a white tank top. She knows that I love when she is bottomless wearing just a shirt, this outfit would look bottomless. I said to her that when we get to the sand that she should take everything off and go totally naked, even through the non-nude section.
Then we started the 15-minute walk down a path that also went through 3 other resorts.
She said "okay". But first before she put on anything except her g-string she jumped into the pool that was shared by several other villas. I was preparing the knap sack and heard the splash outside, only to find her splashing around in front of several other couples lounging around the villa. She exited the pool and said, "I'm ready.
I saw that her white g-string was completely see-thru in the tiny front, clearly showing a camel toe. She put on the tank top and her sneakers. And we started to walk towards the beach. From a distance she looked bottomless.
We passed dozens of people walking back towards the resorts. They had a very good long walk at her see thru bikini patch and camel toe. Behind us were also dozens of people making their way to the beach – anyone behind us people had a full 15 minute long show of her g-stringed ***.
We got to the beach and I told the new deal. She had to remove everything, the sneakers, the g-string and the tank top. She obviously obliged. She then asked, "Where do we go now? I don't see anyone else who is nude here."
I replied, "most of the people who are nude come from down there, let's walk down there". She smiled and said, "okay are you sure, that's really far". My erection was evidence that I wanted her to walk nude all the way down there. "Yes I said, give me your clothes, so you can walk carrying nothing." She was not wearing anything, not even make up or jewellery, just as nude as you can get. Her body was also totally hairless. After taking off her clothes she tied her hair into a high ponytail.
"Okay ready?" I said. Without a response she turned around and walked not at the waters edge but through the loungers of people. It took some time before we saw another nude couple walking towards us. I walked several meters behind her and gradually distanced myself so I could get the same rear view as everyone else as she passed. She mostly kept her head down which allowed everyone to stare at her perfect body approaching and leaving. By know I was so behind her that she looked to be entirely alone and just taking a walk. That's what turns me on the most – seeing her from a distance and watching everyone else look at her body. I knew they could see her yet untanned, puffy slit.
We started to see more and more people nude, most were discreetly lounging. Ahead of us I could see a large group of people approaching us. I soon realized they were disembarked people from a cruise ship. She took a new course that was directing her to the entire middle of this mob of fully dressed people. What was more exciting, most had cameras around their necks. Just before the group she stopped and turned around to find where I was. I was now 30 meters behind her. She stood in the middle of the tourists, posing and pretending to look around for a place to lounge or either pretending to find someone. As I walked closer to her, several of the cruise ship people had their cameras and video taking pictures. She continued to stand there and ignored the pictures. She also knows that I enjoy strangers having nude pictures of her to later ********** to. When we met, "I said to her let's get to end of the beach and then you pick the spot where to spend the next few hours working on our all-over tans. She agreed, we walked side-by-side. But I followed her lead; she sometimes wandered to back of the beach then back to water.
When we reached the end, she told me she noticed a spot a bit back. "Okay" I said, "let's go there".
We found the spot. I noticed that it was adjacent to another young couple. Very good looking couple and totally nude. I could understand why my wife chose this location. I also couldn't help notice that this girl had a completely bald ***** like my wife's. It was so smooth that it looked like it never had a hair on it. I also noticed the guys penis was large – it was either very relaxed, hanging long down reaching the towel he was laying on or he started to get fluffed after seeing my wife. My wife and his wife sat the closest while the two husbands on the outside, all of us facing the water. She sometimes faced them with her legs slightly open, I could see them both take glances between her knees whenever they had a chance... and my wife offered them plenty of time looking elsewhere to get a good long view of her bare and puffy lips. I could imagine her slit would've been slightly open offering a glimpse of the delicate soft inside.
We introduced ourselves and got very comfortable with each other, eventually we moved our loungers closer together for our conversation. We shared stories about where we've been and what we enjoy doing. We both enjoyed vacationing in places where we can be nude and enjoy a nice beach.
They mentioned they were on one last vacation before they decide to have a child. We asked where they were staying, and she told us, "at the nude resort. Pointing in the direction of a footpath up upon a high top, she said, "it's up there". "At the resort everyone is nude. We thought we would try it since this is our last vacation for a while".
My wife smiled and looked at me. The girl said, "We can show you around if you like?" My wife replied that would be nice. Here was my best chance to let my wife walk around totally nude without me.
I said, "well I'll stay here and watch our stuff, you go and enjoy the tour. Besides, I forgot something at our villa. I'll have to go back and get the cooler bag. (Which I didn't really).
"Okay if you're sure?" she asked. I said, "ya go, tell me about it when you get back and take lots of pictures." We said our "see ya later", and I watched the three of them walk toward the footpath up the hill. She was slightly taller then my wife maybe 5'4", blonde and a total tan. Her body was more athletic then my wife's girlish young soft figure.
When they were out of sight. I check out some of the other nude women, relaxed for a bit but on my board shorts then walked back to our villa. My plan was to take a very long time. I needed my shorts because my erection was growing by the second, it was so hard this time I pointed it upward. It was too painful to point it down my leg.
The walk took 30 minutes and when I got back, I whacked off at least 4 times. Then I took a swim to rinse off and took a nap. When I woke 45 minutes later I decided to walk back to our spot. When I arrived almost 2 hours later, our former loungers were taken. I proceeded to find them. Eventually I found them with a group of 40-something who also from the nudist resort.
"So", I asked, "How was it?"
"It was great," she said. "There's large pool, weight room and everyone was totally naked." "We decided to eat in their room, I wanted to see it but he said he's a good cook." In my mind I was thinking and getting hard about my wife walking around totally nude and hairless, wearing nothing, not shoes, jewellery or even makeup, just a ponytail. But the thought that really put me over-the-edge was that she spent lunch with these two attractive people in their private room.
"Oh", she said, "there was a yoga class by the pool, so we did that for about half an hour". My God, I couldn't take it anymore. After ************ four times not two hours ago, my erection was now hurting and throbbing through my board shorts at the image of my wife performing yoga totally nude. Downward dog, splits all the yoga exercises yoga people perform. I knew everything would've been exposed, and if that wasn't an event for exhibitionists I can't think of one that would top that.
"Did you take pictures?" I asked, "yea they took lots of me," she said, but sadly the camera was in the bag and I forgot it. Now this was becoming too much for me, I thought I would ********* right there in my shorts.
We said goodbye and walked back to our villa. She of course walked totally nude and I had to wear my shorts because the erection was not going anywhere but in her when we get back. She mentioned that sand was getting hot on her feet and needed to wear her shoes. I got the walking shoes from the knap sack and she put them on, of course she chose a very busy spot to put them on, and not crouching but bending at the waste. By now I figured she was totally into exhibiting her body.
When we reached the path to climb to our resort, I just plainly looked at her and she shrugged her shoulders. "Might as go like this." She said.
So she took the 15-minute walk up towards our resort, passing many people who's eyeballs were popping out seeing this beautiful nude women walking with only shoes so confidently showing everything.
During our conversation I asked my wife, "What was their room like"?
She said it was nice and airy. But the funny thing was he kept getting an erection, especially once inside the room". I figured because it felt so naughty being in their room with all of us nude. And she added in, "and it's quite large and thick". His wife told me, "that a few times during the day she 'relieves' it for him, so he doesn't get hard on the beach".
"Oh wow, I could understand that myself. "So what happened next?" I asked my wife.
"Well this was one of the times she relieved it for him?" she answered.
"And exactly how, did they go into their bedroom?" I asked
"No he sat on the couch beside me and she started slowly ************ him, smiling and looking at me" She said, feeling a little guilty.
"And that was it?" I asked her.
"His wife asked me, If I'd like to help, there's lots for you too. And she offered his **** to me, as if to say, 'go ahead try it'.
"Then what"? I asked
She paused and smirked, "Well it was big, really big, and fat with a big mushroom head, so I had to feel it".
"How big?"
She held her hands out to a size that I couldn't believe, "no way!" I said.
We were still walking up the path and a couple past us as she was holding apart her hands. She was still nude but for her shoes and completely loving the stares. She would smile at people walking by and stop our conversation to say 'Hi' to them. I had never saw her areola so puffy almost completely burying her nipples the were pointing upward. I could only imagine how puffed out her ***** looked to everyone walking towards us.
"When I was stroking him, his wife sucked on it, then she offered it to me and I sucked on it. I had to do it differently then when I suck on you, because it was so big. His wife was teaching me how he liked it sucked, until I got the hang of it. I hope you're not mad?"
"No I wish I saw that. Can you blow me the way you did it to him?"
"Did he say anything, while you were blowing him?"
"He liked me to take it out sometimes and rub it on my face, and to look at it. He told me to lick it like an ice cream cone" She giggled, "Then suck the head and use hand up and down his shaft. I couldn't wrap my hand all around it"
"Wow what was his wife doing?"
She grinned and said, "she was fingering me from behind, I was kneeling and he was laying back a bit on the couch". "She told me to stick out my bum, and she rubbed my bum hole too" "I came in only a few minutes from her, when she used both hands, one on my **** and one a bit in my bum."
"Let me guess, you were the one to relieve him"
"Well, he said he was going to ***". "I didn't swallow, well a bit." "When the first shot came out his **** was still in my mouth, he didn't give me enough warning." "So I took it out and stroked him off, the rest of his shots went on my face and mouth. Are you not mad?"
"No, I'm insane horny now"
"Good" she said, "because they're here for three more days, and I want to feel that big **** inside me. I hope it fits."
that sure makes me hotter man! tell more!.. hahaha!
Great story and I love the pics! So what happened next? Did you get to sleep with the guys wife maybe?
Good story. I'm a nudest and I know the fun of being nude in public. But I have never had a erection in public except at swinger parties. But that is a different story.
great story, loved the pics!
Sounds abit like Orient Bay.
That is a great story

Sounds like you had a wonderful vacation
Wonderful experience. I really tuns me on to be nude with others fully clothed.
Wow....quite a story. Not sure why you don't want to mention the actual island, though I'm pretty sure I know which one you mean by the description. Been there ourselves...as cruise visitors for the day but still, my wife and I shared the nude experience.
I love your pics that go with the story - my gawd, the g-string bikini looks like she's naked wearing it! There's nothing to it!

Probably all the people at the resort knew what was going on when your wife went naked into the room with her attractive naked friends...

How would you have liked to have had to go find your wife at the resort and found her on a lounge chair surrounded by men and maybe a couple of them applying lotion to her naked hairless body?

By a strange coincidence, the Supreme Court's October Term may begin just as the rest of the government collapses.
The Court, however, will assemble with a swagger. Though the 5-4 cases — like United States v. Windsor (the DOMA case) and National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (the health-care case) garner the headlines — the Roberts Court is more harmonious than the rest of the government. Nearly half of its opinions last term were unanimous, the culmination of an upward trend from the last years of the Rehnquist Court. The justices may exchange sharp words in their opinions (and sarcastic looks on the bench), but they are great pals after hours, attending the opera or shooting large game animals in bipartisan packs. The Court is the branch that works.
So the justices will probably be feeling good as they put on their robes. But maybe they shouldn't be high-fiving behind the velvet curtain. In fact, they might want to look in the mirror and wonder what part they have played in the train wreck that is 21st-century American democracy. It's not a small one.
These reflections were spurred by a report in The New York Times that outside groups like the Club for Growth are using their massive wealth to threaten Republican members of Congress who dare hint at a compromise to avert shutdown and default. A number of House members know that the boat is about to go over the falls, but if they try to stop it, far-right individuals and groups will turn on them.
These members must avoid a primary challenge at any cost. But they don't need to worry about voter backlash, even if they wreck the economy and the nation's credit. That's because scientific gerrymandering of House districts has made them all but immune to defeat by a Democratic opponent. In the 2012 election nationwide, Democratic candidates won a plurality of the vote, 48.8 percent to 48.47. But clever districting produced a Republican majority of 234-201 — nearly 54 percent of the seats. In many districts, voters have no real choice.
Red-state Republican senators who fear popular disgust — from, say, Latinos reacting to their resistance to immigration reform — have another line of defense: 18 states have passed vote-suppression measures since 2011. In close elections, just keeping one or two percent of the voters at home can make all the difference. In other words, American democracy is breaking down. It's war to the knife between the parties.
In this spectacle of decay, the Court's hands aren't clean. Over the past two decades, a series of silly and impractical decisions, taken together, have helped clog the arteries of our political system. If that system suffers a catastrophic infarction next month, the Court must shoulder part of the blame.
Take polarization. Here is what may be the worst prophecy ever to appear in the United States Reports: "As for the case at hand, if properly managed by the District Court, it appears to us highly unlikely to occupy any substantial amount of petitioner's time." Those words appeared in Justice John Paul Stevens's opinion for the Court in the 1997 case of Clinton v. Jones, in which President Bill Clinton asked the Court to stay a sexual-harassment lawsuit brought against him by Paula Jones. He did not ask for dismissal, just a delay until after he left office, arguing that having to respond to civil actions would distract him from his duties. Pish-tush, replied the justices. The result was the first impeachment and trial of a sitting president in more than a century. No single event has done more to foul the atmosphere of today's politics.

Ancelotti proud of PSG efforts
Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with the way his side played, despite going out of the Champions League on away goals to Barcelona.
Barcelona progressed from their quarter-final after a 3-3 aggregate draw over the two legs, with their two away goals from the first leg proving crucial.
The French side took the lead in the tie in the second half through Javier Pastore and had their sights set on the semi-finals at that stage.
But they were pegged back once the home side introduced Lionel Messi, who had been left out of the starting XI because of a hamstring injury, from the bench.
Relive the best images from this week's Champions League quarterfinal round.
And Ancelotti believes the introduction of the World Player of the Year was the turning point of the tie.
He said: "Even if he is not 100 per cent fit, he is always a fantastic player.
"We were good in possession and played quickly up the field.
"We didn't just defend like a lot of teams who come here, we caused them problems. But Messi gave his team confidence."
