I think it sounds fucking hot but not with my dad my dads not hot
I think it sounds fucking hot but not with my dad my dads not hot
Other than in fantasy, the Father/Son thing is not really for me. I'm not attracted to my own dad and the thought of having sexy with him seems a little icky. But I do have a fuck buddy who is almost old enough to be my dad. He likes it when I call him "daddy" once in a while. And I kind of like it when he calls me "boy" or "son"
One time I met up with a real-life uncle & nephew who were into cruising together and hooking up with another guy(s). The nephew was 19, very Abercrombie and Finch, and the uncle was early 40's, big, hairy and kind of bearish. Now THAT was an encounter I will always remember.
No interest in here for my dad but wouldn't mind a cousin or step sibling.
ive had sex with my best friends dad before. but the most ive ever done with my own dad is suck him off. he doesnt remember tho, he was drunk
Fantasy is far more attractive than reality - but truth is absolutely stranger than fiction.
It's totally so far-fetched as to be ludicrous that the very person who started this thread turns out to be completely revolted by it. I think he was attempting a bit of self-therapy (or self-flagellation) in public that backfired.
Still, every man over a certain age (legality is not morality) has potential to be boy's (or girl's) father -- many of them certainly are. When you have a partner, lover or casual sexual acquitance - you are having sex with a 'dad.' So why would it be totally morally apprehensible - -if somebody did actually - -in fact- make love to his biological father. Up until the 19th century, before reasonably accurate records were kept in the most advanced civilizations, I am sure there were millions of instances where sons procreated with their own mothers, aunts, and sisters. Why would male sex between close or distance relatives be any more repulsive?
I am not advocating it - I just don't see why somebody has to go all bunkers over the idea -- humans "have been there and done that" for centuries. Animals make it a standard practice for survival and domination of others in their species to ensure the survival of the fittest.
I don't make an issue of it and get into a long drawn out discussion. I do not have the least bit of desire to have sex with my own sons or my own father - but I'm nevertheless intrigued and turn on by such stories.
I'm not going to wax philosophical here (again) so I'll just say - human sexuality and all of its forms can be see as vestiges left over from our earlier forms as primates and mammals (and even previous lifeforms before those.) Evolution is never pure, never clean or clearly discreet so that is separates us from our prior (previous) living creatures we once were. A male dog will fuck and conceive offspring with the bitch who bore him. I know we aren't dogs - but are we so much 'better'?
If you think about that idea and its implication, it can either be absolving and bring self-understanding (for ourselves as a species) or it make matters worse (in your own mind). I'm of the former persuasion.
Quoted from an earlier post that I wrote on a different thread in JUB Forums:
If you interested in gay family sex or male incest or Greek love (older man-young man), then you can enjoy both the art work of numerous artists who illlustrate these older man with young man (--- uncle/dad/coach/priest/cop and young newbie/virgin twink --), and also quite few of these types of stories can be found in the Readers Forum.
Fantasy is wonderful (& may mask some "strange" desire). I agree w/ comment about the strong protector image (either you or holding you) being more widespread than one may believe. Anyway, the fantasy is very erotic.
father-son incest just isn't father-son incest unless its between a real father-son.
that's just the way I feel about it.
the rest, well, the man can be a coach or a corrupt superior officer but its now way approaching what father-son incest would be.
even uncle-nephew is only borderline in my opinion.
its either father-son (biological preferrably) or at least step-father-who-raised-him-son incest.
to stretch the definition or the fantasy to anything or anyone else, well, you might as well fantasize about an old trucker or a perverted teacher.
no, I say its best that if one has a father-son thing, it remain a father-son thing and not get all politically-correct or libidoly-lobotomized into thinking one's golf instructor can substitute in a father-son thing.
as long as both the padre and the son want to do it, and the son is 18 or more , go for it
I had dreams of having sex with my Uncle by Marriage and Father.
I have watched a homemade jerk off vid of my father, and I saw his boner bare while he was sleeping. I wanted to fondle him but I couldn't bring myself to it, he wakes up pretty easy. Then another time when I was walking around in boxer briefs and a t-shirt he popped a boner while he and I were in the kitchen, he made lemonade then disappeared..... He has been trying to get me to sleep at home as well. Everytime I am in my boxer briefs around him he sticks around except for the one time when he popped a boner, which was very visible in sweat pants ^^.
I wonder if he would do anything, well if he had ever done anything, but how he is just scares me from even trying anything or talking about it.
Edit: Also my father, uncle and I were in the hotel room and I was soaking wet from the rain. My brother was in the shower so I couldn't use the bathroom to get changed. I asked my father for his hotel key and he said just get changed in here. So I did, he left after I took off my jeans though. I had to take off my boxers as well, but before I did my Uncle turned his head away from me. But I do however think my father is getting soft on the subject.....
my dad works as a bar tender so he comes home abaut 6:00 a.m and seelps all day long. he likes to leve the tv on wille he sleeps to avoidf the cars noise in the street. my parent's room is in the second flor wille my sister's room and my room are in the first one with the othe comun areas. some times or most of the time i like to go to my parents room and lide besais my dad wile he sleeps and changue chanels because downsters my mom and sister are waching soap opra and i dont like it. and some times i sleep wille i wacht tv.
well one day i was geting sleepy i dont know how cause my dad makes reale big noise wille he sleps. and then i felt my dads hary leg acros my hips, thats just the way he sleps with my mom, he was only wearing brefs ones verry old so they weare almost transparents. i was sleepy so i try not to put atention to it, but later i felt his chest on my back and his arm huging me. i know he was totaly asleep and he haves a verry heavy sleep. and i dicided to enjoy the situation ( i used to have crush on my dad) just feel how he hugme and his breth, but sudenly i feelt his boner rubing my butt at that point i was melting. he stader to muve slowly butt with a good ritmid i was doing the same too all that hapen like in 10 minutes i was verry hurny, all kind of ideas crost my mind, if he wakedup i culd argued that i was asleep too butt if he waked up and continued with the play i dont know if i culd deal with that so i disaded that i did not wanted to know and standup or bed i did not dare to look back and leve my parents room.
from that moment my dad started to behave more strict to me mor demanding in things like work and other stofs i think he mid wokeup wen i lackof his arm and leg and i do not tink my dad is gay hes verry handsome and i bet he have seberal oportunitis wen he was young butt he is a straig man i put my 2 hads for that
Hey Kiss22, have you ever heard of "spell-check", I'm NOT trying to be rude its just that I could barely understand what you wrote.
However, I did understand what you were saying about him humping your butt and you moving your hips and elevating your butt into his erection in rhythm. What I don't understand is WHY you got up out of bed, obviously you were enjoying the experience as much as he was.
Sounds like your dad has some Mississippi-Leg-Hound in him, don't you know you're better off letting them finish? I can understand why he's frustrated and mad with you. Take some advice, get your boy-butt back in that bedroom and cuddle up to him and let him finish what YOU started.
By the way in case you don't know what "Mississippi Leg Hound" is its when a dog hops up on you and starts humping your leg. If you push them off before they finish they are known for biting. (sound familiar?)
Boys will be boys...
I'll be making an announcement soon, but here is the gist of it.
Negative comments about a particular fetish are no longer going to be tolerated here. If someone cannot post about a particular fetish in the fetish forum then we have a problem. If you aren't a fan of the material in the thread, then move along.
Give me some time to get everything together ...
I get off more of the idea of a "daddy" than an actually father biologically....I like MEN, older, hairy, muscular.....i can get totally submissive or give them a rough ride....but i love seeing/reading father/son stuff...its just hot
YES butt im to lassy to do that, the speling thing. and i velive that if i practice and practice here i will imprube that. abaut that wy i get up of bed well some times i wish that i culd stay longer but i like the idea it tursme on but not for real, that noaa and the man is straithg.
I think this is hot. Not so into the though of my own dad, although I have had the odd fantasy. But love seeing a mature man with a younger man.
That's hot.
This is part of my story. I am now 54 years old and my step dad has died. I will have to give you a little family history to give you the whole picture.
My mom divorced my dad when I was one and married the man I call dad, when I was three. He was the only man in my life, as my father also remarried and his wife didn't like me, so I didn't see him much during my childhood. (another long story)
My step dad was a very well built man, 6ft 2 tall and played rugby for Rhodesia, where we lived at the time. I remember the first time I saw him naked (I must have been about 4) I also remember thinking, thats why mum married him...he had a huge penis. Later to be confirmed when we became friends.
I know that some people think that you cannot remember back that far. I can remember isolated incidents from when I was one!
Anyway, he was very much a sportsman and I was molly coddled by my mother as a result of her divorce. He didn't really get to know me until I was about 12. He worked hard and there was all sorts of shit going on in Africa and countries were being given their indipendence and so we moved around a lot.
The first time he took an interest in me was when we had left South Africa as he had been offered a post in the new country of Zambia. He was going to help establish a school of mining and engineering. He had to have a work permit and we left Cape Town being told that it would arrive en route. It didn't and we stopped over with some of his cousins. They owned a large farm and had little cottages that were built for fishermen to hire, along the banks of the Vaal River. We were put up in one of them waiting for the work permit to arrive.
One night my mother went to see my aunt at the farm house and my dad got a bath ready for me. The cottages were very rustic and the bath was an old tin one that was placed in front of the fire. I stripped and started to bath when I noticed he was watching me. At the time I was just going through puberty and was aware that I was not as big as my dad was and was a little embarrassed. he picked up on it. He was lying on the bed watching me and he had his hand inside his boxers and was gently fondling himself. He often did that while he was in deep thought and as a family mum and I used to laugh at it.
This time he told me to come over to the bed. I hid myself as I stood up and he said that I shouldn't as there was nothing to be ashamed of. I walked over to him. I remember being awkward. He too my hand and placed it on his penis and said that it was OK to touch him. He said that we were family and that he would never do anything to hurt or scare me. He asked if I liked it and if it felt different to mine. I said he was much bigger and he replied by taking me into his arms and saying that I would grow bigger as I grew older. I was a very tender moment. He then said could he touch me...I said yes and then he said this is what he was doing to himself when I was watching earlier...I came within seconds ...I said that I felt like I was going to pee myself and he said that it was normal... that I had just had an orgasm...my first!
There is more but I am not sure if this is of interest as it happened a long time ago.
if you were 12, that was rape....
I know and that is why I have left telling this until he died. It didn't feel like I was being abused, I loved him and because I didn't know any better and because he was my father, I let it happen. I don't know if I would have been able to say no, in any event I didn't.
Hi Musledad, I'm interested in hearing your story. Don't pay attention to those who would make you feel less of a person because of their blind-sided bias opinions and their "politically correct" comments.
This is YOUR forum too, you wouldn't have mentioned your step-dad unless you had a need to talk about it; so start talking were listening.
Boys will be boys...
When I was younger I was attracted to my dad, and my granddad on my mom's side. As I got older, I got more into twinks.
But when I was younger, I knew a dude up by my grandparents and him and his dad used to have sex all the time. I first learned about it cuz they had a pool. And me and my friend had played with each other a bit. And so I went over there one weekend, and I went swimming, and his mom and his lil brother had went shopping for the lil bro's school clothes, and his dad came out to swim with us. And we were swimming naked, and so his dad came out in all his naked glory. He jumped in, pinned his boy on the side and fucked him til he came. :d TWAS SOOOOOOOOOO HOT!
I think some people read the fetish boards to excite themselves and then say "that's sick/you're sick" to distance themselves from the subject-matter they were drawn to read. Sort of classic denial/finger-pointing.
Anyway, I think the age difference is a turn-on for a lot of people. When I was 11 I had major "father fantasies" (even though not about MY father) and as I got older, the age thing flipped... which is natural. Very ancient Greece and Rome.
Fact is, there are very few guys I've ever talked to (who are honest) and passed a certain age who ever denied a strong sexual attraction to males much younger than themselves... and often below the age of legality.
As someone said, legality and morality aren't the same thing (especially since the forner changes constantly).
Another fact is that the activity what kinds of sex some assert is "disgusting" is often the same kind that produces the most intense orgasm, even masturbatorily. So what people like and what they "say" they like are often very different things.
I think one of the appeals of father/son-type arrangements is due to the fact that most guys have had such a hard time in their early lives with their homosexuality and getting as much sex as they need. So the idea of a hot, older guys who breaks them in lovingly is very appealing. And not necessarily unhealthy.
I did not mean to sound negative. Looking at my post now, I came across that way, I apologize.
hey what a thread, any video or photo galleries from this issue? Muscledadforu loved your story.-..please tell us another chapter of it I wanna know got interested in your story.. Did you loose virginity with him?? Did you just share jerk offs?? or more?? Please post another moment of your story, also how old you were when this things happened to you?? 13? 14?
In my opinion, the statements here about incest being okay for two men, but not okay for a man and woman are hypocritical. Yes, there's the risk of pregnancy if a man and woman have sex. But there could be consequences for two men also. A good example would be if one of the partners has an STD.
Yes, but that's true of any relationship.
i heard somewhere that deep downmen want to have sex with their mothers, not want to, but are curious you know. so it would seem logical that gay men would be curious about their fathers. i dont want to have sex with my dad no, but there is somthing i cant expain it. that is still curious you know. i would never have even though about it if i didnt read this forum though.
wish i had something witty to say so i could put it here.
ha haha yes getstoseven is my photograph, email and give you my msn messenger and we chat and give you more photos.
bcwang yup right in front of me like I said sooooooooooooooo hot
fascinating historias. the son seducing the father could be a very powerful image
There was a link a few days ago to a comic/graphic story concerning father/son sex. It was one of the hottest items I have ever seen posted on this site. Unfortunately, I can't find it or remember what specific forum it was in. Anyone know? I think the guys posting here would love it.
I still have fantasies about my stepdad. From the time I was about 11 until I was about 13, I used to go into my parents bedroom every morning while my stepdad was still asleep and cuddle in bed with him. He would put his arms around me and i would rest my head on him and rub his hairy chest and stomach. sometimes i would rub his feet or his back and he really loved that. He used to joke with me about sex and jacking off and he would tell me that he had a huge penis. I only saw it when I was very young because we would take showers together. nothing sexual ever happened though and i don't remember what it looked like. I still to this day have dreams about him and even though i don't speak to him much anymore, i would love more than anything to suck him off and have him fuck me.
i sometimes fantasized about my biological father, too. he was a bit of an exhibitionist and would sometimes walk around the house naked. but i never wanted him as much as i wanted my stepdad.
that sounds hot, about your stepdad.
it's hot cause I'm thinking like you, from the vantage point of getting with the step dad.
but if i look at it from your step dad's point of view? it's not hot. i would never let my stepson (if i had one) rub my chest and back. and i wouldn't tell him i had a big penis.
it's funny though what will excite and what won't. i got rock hard reading your post imagining myself going back in time and getting with my dad. that made me rock hard.
but the reverse? a kid? it just turns me off
don't misunderstand, i'm not judging anybody here. i'm just kind of analyzing why i find this subject so HOT and yet can also find it NOT hot if I change the point of view.
hey, can I have your step dad's number?
I noticed a lot of the guys posting on the incest thread are "bisexual".
I am bisexual too and very turned on by the thought of a father-son sex scene
Wonder if the incest fantasies have anything to do with being bisexual.
my dad dont turn me on...but other daddies do
Just wanted to share a story with you guys, well with those who like incest stories!
My fuckbuddy who is married and is 50, very hot, in great shape, nice 8" uncut cock, he is totally versatile and what a pig!
we have done 3ways and orgies together...anyway, he has two kids one is in college (of legal age) and one day he was telling me how smart his son was, so I asked, is he as hot as you? he said yeah and as hung...so I asked, have you seen him naked and he said yes, that he sneaked in the bathroom and saw him jacking off (his son didn't see him)...I thought that was hot...he said watching his son masturbating was very arousing and that he ended up going to his bedroom's bathroom and jacking off...he said he only felt curious once and that one time helped him get over it...he said he doesn't want to have sex with his kid...but everytime he pictures his son naked and jacking off he gets a hardon...I am getting a hardon as I type!!!
maybe I should pursue a threeway with him and his son...it is never bad to dream!!!
Hot topic. I've always been fascinated with father/son sex. I was never attracted to my own father though. When I was 18, I started watching gay porn and caught a scene between the late Jon Vincent and the late Joey Stephano where Jon insisted Joey call him "Daddy". My God I probably came to that video thousands of times. There was something exciting about a boy sucking his own father's dick or a vice-versa and there was something thrilling about the boy pleasing his father and vice-versa. For me, it's always been a turn on because it's such a taboo. It's like two hot straight guys who finally give into temptation and start jerking each other off. There's something hot about that. The father/son stuff is also about learning and who better to learn about sex than from the man who made you.
I have often insisted my sexual partners role play with me and the older I get the more turned on I am at becoming the daddy. I have had little experience with real father/son who may have been having sex. There was this bar owner and he was gay and his son also worked there. I remember staying late at the bar until closing and I had gotten to know the son and I remember asking him if his father's sex life bothered him. He told me a story about his father having sex in the same room with him and he admitted it was a turn on. I asked why he hadn't had sex with his dad and he winked at me, indicating they probably had. I wanted to follow them home.
The other time I was working in a store and a father/son came in and used the single bathroom together. When they came out, the father had his hands all over the son and I could see his huge boner. I fantasized that they were on a long car trip and the father jerked off the son while they were on the road. Now that's hot.
Once I was riding with my hot brother-in-law and we were on some very curvey roads and I began to get nauseous. When I get that way my dick gets hard. He told me to jerk off to keep me from vomitting. I came everywhere. We had to stop and clean it up. I told my sister that story several years later and she wasn't phased.
Back to the father/son stuff. Does anyone have any specific video scenes that they like. I recommend Falcon's Kept. There's a "play" scene between father and son Kent Larson and Bobby Williams with Leo Bramm joining the action. Bobby is very vocal about Kent being his Daddy.
Hello again,
I have another part of my story to add. I was waiting to see what the comments would be. If they were all very negative I would have stopped posting. On the whole I feel that I have contibuted to a topic that is contentious but of interest.
I was 12 when the first part on my step dad masturbated me. It is legally rape which is why I never spoke about this untill he died. I know that this will probably piss some people off as in effect I have hidden something that was wrong and if he did it to me, did he do it to other children? He didn't. We were lovers and friends and spent a lot of our time together. Most of his time in fact, was spent with me and not my mother.
I guess it will become clear if you read the bit below:
My mother obviouslyt didn't know about my dad and myself. But as I will explain she had been the cause of him coming to me in the first place. I found this out from both of them but for different reasons.
My step dad was very highly sexed and wanted sex all the time. My mother was a typical mother and had the family and home to consider before him. He turned to to other women and their marriage broke down and turned very nasty with him becoming violent and so they diviorced after 15 years. As I said, mum and I were very close and one evening in the car on the way home from work, she and I were talking about dad and what had happened to their relationship. She mentioned that he had wanted oral sex and she said that she had refused. She said she went to our family doctor about it (he was gay but she didn't know) and discussed it with him. Her take on it that it is a perversion and that sex involved genitalia, nothing else...the doc had said to her that oral sex could be thought of as a perversion but that so many preople did it, that it was unlikely.
In any event, dad stayed in Harare and we moved to Bukawayo which is about 500 miles away. For about 6 months they didn't communicate and then they gradually started trying to sort things out and dad began to visit every weekend.
He stayed at a hotel about 5 minutes from our apartment. Up to the point of my parents separation, dad and I had on the odd occassion played with each other. Mostly when mum was staying away for a few days and then I would make a reason to creep into bed and cuddle. I would always wear only my boxers which I would remove when I got into bed. Dad never wore anything. I then I would press my but against his cock and wait...It never took long for a reaction and then he would reach over and start to masturbate me. After I came I would do the same for him. It was lovely and very loving...I can remember the smell of his body and armpits where I would snuggle.
When he started to visit us in Bulawayo, things had changed. He had hit my mother and I was angry. I was also 18 and had become interested in a girl at the company I worked for. My feelings were very mixed. I missed him but didn't want to be disloyal to my mother.
One evening we were in the hotel room waiting for dad to get dressed to got to dinner. My sister said to my mum that she had forgotten something in the apartment and so they both went back for it. Dad came out of the bathroom naked except for a very small towel round his waist. His cock hung out below it and he saw me looking. He walked over to me and put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me down to my knees. His cock held the towel up and I remember laughing despite being really pissed off with his assumption that I would be interested after all that had happened. The truth was that I was, and I put his cock into my mouth for the first time. I remember getting a jaw ache as it was so big. I sucked on it and pulled on his balls, He was moaning softly...he then pulled me to my feet and said he wanted my mum back so that he could have me and gave me a very passionate kiss. I didn't know what to say and stood there. It wasn't about a minute after that that there was a knock on the door.
Mum and dad made up and we moved back to Harare. He and I started spending time together as he had an engineering company and I would go there after work and chat. If all the office staff had left we would end up having sex and then go for a drink at the local bar which was a block away. This happened for a out a year and then I decided that I wanted to go to university. He was pleased that i wanted to go but we both new that it would change everything.
In many way it did. His marriage to my mother didn't last and he met another woman and remarried. We still arrange to meet for drinks and most of the time took things further. I had a girlfriend at university and so there was pleanty of opportunities to meet. Later I lived all over Africa and Europe but still had a great relationship with him whenever we met.
My greatest Fantasy: An orgy with my hairy chubby dad, my zorro-like moustached uncle, my straight skinhead and extermely hairy friend and his thick-moustached uncle! No words needed!!!!!!

Josman Art
very fascinating story. thanks for sharing it.
i was very interested in sex very young, and wished there were someone I could experience it with. a hot stepdad night have appealed to me...
The idea of father-son incest is really hot, but like others I've never actually fancied my own dad. I'm kinda glad tho, cos if you had a really hot dad it would be so hard to control your feelings as a teenager. Then again, even if my dad was actually hot I'm not sure I'd see it just because he's my dad. If I really wanted to fancy him, surely I would anyway.
This isn't exactly true. Research shows that the chances of deformities in occasional cases of incest aren't significantly higher than average births. Only when it becomes widespread does it pose a significant risk to health. Historically, it seems unlikely that birth defects played a great role in making incest almost universally proscribed. Many animals naturally mate outside of family groups and its probable that human concepts of incest stem from an innate aversion to it. As societies developed, incest became a genuine taboo with various ideas around it.
Today the majority of people still find incest inherently wrong (for which, in many cases the Christian Church is responsible). That view's ok, because the vast majority of people would never actually commit it anyway (even if they fantasise about it). But it seems to me there is actually no feasible moral objection to consensual, majority-age incest.
An interesting example of culturally enforced father-son incest is the Etoro of (I think) Papua New Guinea. From about the age of 10 until late-teens the boy is expected to suck and swallow his dad's semen - almost daily in some cases - because it is believed to imbue him with masculinity. Sex with women among the Etoro is actually seen as emasculating, so it's kept to a minimum. (Sounds perfect!)
Lancsdan, are you serious? Where did you read New Guinea boys are traditionally encouraged to suck their Dad's penis to make them masculine or did you just make that up?
I've seen documentaries (which are no longer allowed to be shown in the U.S.) where certain tribes "right-to-passage" ceremony where young boys drink the semen of the elders of the tribe out of a Sacred Cup and than go off naked into the wilderness to survive for a certain length of time before returning to the tribe as a man.
But I've never ever heard of boys being made to suck their Dad's dick from a very young age until their late teens, unless you are talking about the old Greek's and Romans. Than again you could be referring to people of the Southern states of the United States hahaha
Gee aren't traditions great hahaha
Boys will be boys...

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

leading hte sanctions lobby who disseminated the report to the admin and
congress and the european govts on Iran to push these sanctions is saying
flat out, no oil embargo, that's ridiculous, but they're trying to hive
off enough companies from Iran's client base to get the bigger clients
like China to demand bigger discounts and thus cut down on Iran's funds
that they can use for bad nuclear and weapons stuff. still, iran has a lot
of cushion in reserves.
just talked to peter as well on this topic. we're going to see what
actually comes out of the Euro agreements Dec. 8 to really assess the
impact. will be touching base with the sanctions lobby in meantime as well
Iran's Economy Can Take the Pressurea**for Now
New sanctions on Iran may hurt, but with its oil money, the country is still a
few steps away from a crisis
Just after 3 p.m. on Nov. 29, about 200 demonstrators ransacked the
British Embassy in Tehran, chanting a**Death to England,a** setting fire
to the Union Jack, carting off a portrait of Queen Elizabeth, and
detaining staff as Iranian security officers stood by. It bore all the
marks of a state-orchestrated provocation.
What aroused Iranian leadersa** ire were stiff financial penalties imposed
on Nov. 21 by the U.K., the U.S., and Canada. The European Union was also
expected on Dec. 1 to impose trade and travel bans on almost 200 Iranian
individuals and companies. The sanctions punish Iran for clandestine
nuclear weapons work and follow dozens of earlier measures intended to
make leaders choose between prosperity and the bomb.
The latest penalties were spurred by a Nov. 8 United Nations atomic
inspectorsa** report contradicting Irana**s claim that it seeks only
peaceful nuclear energy. The British sanctions hit the Iranian financial
system, including its central bank: The move makes it difficult for any
company that has banking operations with a U.K. financial institution to
trade with any company with banking operations in Iran, says Jeanne
Archibald, a former general counsel for the U.S. Treasury. The Obama
Administration has declared the Iranian banking system guilty of money
laundering, which means U.S. financial institutions must step up reporting
requirements on foreign correspondent banks that may be doing business
with Iran. The requirements may prove so onerous that more banks and
companies stop dealing with the Iranians.
Earlier sanctions have already hurt, says Matthew Levitt, a former U.S.
Treasury official now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
a**Other than oil, the economy is in very bad shape. People have money,
they have enough to eat, but they dona**t have jobs,a** says Djavad
Salehi-Isfahani, a professor of economics at Virginia Tech. Iran has
suffered inflation of at least 50 percent in the last two years, he says,
and the currency has depreciated by 30 percent in the unofficial market.
a**The economic welfare of the Iranian people has never been a top
priority of the Islamic Republic,a** says Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace.
Iran would seem to have no choice but to abandon its nuclear program. The
reality, however, is more complex. Iran has $80 billion in annual revenues
from its crude oil output of about 3.5 million barrels a day, according to
the Iranians and production estimates from the International Energy
Agency. Its near-total reliance on energy sales is a vulnerabilitya**if
oil prices crash. So far they havena**t, and Iran continues to have steady
customers in China, Japan, India, and South Korea. Surprisingly, it has
European customers, too: Italy, Greece, and Spain are especially
important. With prices around $100 a barrel, Iran has, by some estimates,
foreign reserves of $60 billion. Its economy may grow 4 percent this year,
says Kenneth Katzman, an Iran specialist for the nonpartisan Congressional
Research Service.
Mark Dubowitz, director of the Iran Energy Project at the Foundation for
the Defense of Democracies and co-author of a confidential report on Iran
circulated on Nov. 29 to the Administration and Congress, says oil and
natural gas sales represent about 80 percent of Irana**s hard currency
export earnings. That suggests sanctions on energy exports could deliver a
body blow to Iran. a**Nobody with any sense is trying to impose an oil
embargo on Iran,a** he says. The challenge is a**to target Irana**s oil
sales without spooking markets.a**
Iran has evaded sanctions before. In June it made a deal to barter Chinese
goods and services in exchange for oil, circumventing payment difficulties
set in place by sanctions. In September, India paid off an oil debt
through a Turkish bank to get around similar restrictions. Some analysts
wonder what damage the new sanctions can do. a**The Iranians have locked
sanctions into their strategy,a** says Kevan Harris, a researcher at Johns
Hopkins University who visits Iran often. a**Ita**s going to hurt. But if
you live there, you deal with all kinds of problems.a** The regime in
Tehran has used sanctions as an excuse to boost self-sufficiency by
phasing out costly subsidies on gasoline. That has reduced gasoline
consumption and Irana**s reliance on refined gas imports, saving the
regime billions of dollars.
Sanctions could achieve their purpose given the right circumstances. If
the price of oil slid to about $65 a barrel, Irana**s oil dependence could
leave it struggling to meet government budgets. Dubowitza**s idea is to
pressure law-abiding companies to sever business ties with Iran, allowing
the remaining players to negotiate for deep discounts. So if Europe,
Japan, and South Korea abandoned Iranian oil, customers such as China
could push for discounts as big as 40 percent, Dubowitza**s group
estimates, starving the regime of funds needed for its nuclear and missile
programs. Iran is a tough rival. Yet ita**s a few short steps away from
The bottom line: With reserves of an estimated $60 billion, Iran wona**t
cave easily to sanctions. That could change if oil prices slide.

The Milwaukee Brewers' Finest Hour
milwaukee brewers October 6th, 2011
Five days ago I wrote a post titled "NINE" that captured the feelings of a nation. The Brewers were fresh off of two amazing wins in front of a crazy hometown crowd and it felt like they could beat anyone. ESPN and other major websites were writing articles about how the Brewers were "the team nobody wanted to face" and a "World Series favorite." Everything that could go right did and everything that could go wrong didn't. Everything was clicking, everything was perfect and the whole thing just felt amazing. An entire state was on top of the world. At the end of that post I wrote the following:
I am going to try and not get too excited. I'm going to try and not let these two games cloud my vision. I know there is a long way to go. I know these are only two games, but wow... just wow. What a weekend.
Last weekend was awesome, no doubt, but the odds of the Brewers sweeping the playoffs were slim. The odds of them sweeping the Diamondbacks were good, but they weren't a sure thing. A loss in this series was to be expected as the Diamondbacks are a very good baseball team. Two losses, while not ideal, was also a possibility. Losing these games was not the end of the world. Although it certainly does feel that way. Read the rest of this entry »

Mailbag Monday: Fire Ken Macha
Baseball May 17th, 2010
Last night I went to the Brewers game with wezen-ball and on the drive home I formulated in my head an entire post that I wanted to write about the Brewers recent home stand. I was all set to write it right when I got home. Then I got home and decided to write it in the morning, but I was going to get up extra early to write it. I set my alarm for early in the morning and was all set to wake up and write about the Brewers, but then the morning came and I hit snooze and slept til 11:30.
This is how watching the Brewers can make you feel. I don't want to stop watching them, I don't want to stop supporting them and I don't want to stop doing this blog, but I just don't feel any sense of urgency to do any of those things. It's tough. Outside of Trevor Hoffman, I don't really want anyone to lose their job. I don't hate them, they just make me say "ehh" and that is a place you don't want to be. I imagine that some of you are in a much worse place than I am when it comes to this team. That's why I have prepared this mini-FAQ on the Brewers suckitude.
Do the Brewers suck?
Right now, yes. Overall, probably not.
Should I throw in the towel on the playoffs?
No, but you should probably pick up the towel and be prepared to throw it. This team does have a good, long stretch of winning baseball ahead of it. It's impossible for them not to (my guess is July). They haven't even played the Astros yet and have barely played 1/4 of the season. Still, seven games under .500 is seven games under .500 and at some point you can get too far back.
Should I boo them?
No. Booing is stupid and only makes them want to play their games somewhere besides Miller Park. Why should Pittsburgh get all the Brewers wins? That's not fair.
Why do the Brewers hate Milwaukee?
I think they're pissed because the Wisconsin weather teased us with an early summer with beautiful weather in early April followed by cold weather for the next six weeks. I honestly can't say I blame them.
Should we fire Ken Macha?
Now, that is the million dollar question. For answers to that and more continue reading the Monday Mailbag. Read the rest of this entry »

All of these are making me drooooool right now! Homemade salsa and guac is delicious.
I can I just say I am drooling uncontrollably now. I have been eating Mexican food non-stop for the past week. I thought I was through but now I can definitely say I can going to go right back at it. I love the veggie cups with cheese and oh those tacos. Yum-O!
I think I need to hang out with you on Cinco de mayo!!!! Everything looks yummy.
aww thanks love!!! Hope you're having a rockin' weekend! Might as well keep the mexi-streak going til cinco de mayo eh? so yummy!
Ahhh I've always oogled at your Mexican pizza lasagna, but I am ALL over that Fiesta Tuna this week! Oooh ooh and also the quinoa-stuffed mushrooms!! I'm suddenly craving Mexican food… good thing I've got all these recipes to satisfy my hunger
Heck yes! Come on over!
Yummm!! There are so many Mexican dishes that I love. But give me salsa, guacamole, a mountain of chips, and a margarita … and I'm a happy girl!
It all looks absolutely amazing. I don't know what I would choose first, but at this particular moment, a towering plate of nachos (with the works) sounds perfect.
I ADORE RR! Always have, always will! I also love Mexican food too! I have every intention of making your mexican pizza lasagna this week!
RR drives me NUTS! I cannot watch her. But I still say EVOO.
As much as I hate her stupid sayings, after writing out extra virgin olive oil in almost all my recipes, girl's onto something with that whole evoo thing…
RR is pretty annoying to me too. I like some of her recipes, but she definitely bugs me. Oh, and I loveeeee Mexican food. I want one of all of these recipes!
I used to adore her show until I got sick of hearing EVOO and yum-o as well. I've never read the magazine. That sweet potato looks so good! I need to make that!
This is making me hungry!!!
Perfect post for the upcoming weekend. My parents will be in town one night only – Cinco de Mayo – and are coming from my hometown where Mexican food is authentic and outnumbers all the other restaurants combined. They will be expecting something delicious, and this post will help me a ton!
p.s. I finished Pandemonium today – O.M.G.
Great round up! Just the post one needs to read before the upcoming weekend.
holy yum-o!!! i love mexican especially because i love beans!! this weekend i had a spinach, black bean, and mushroom enchilada! muy delicioso!!
HOLY CLIFFHANGER BATMAN! Seriously I'm so royally pissed at Lauren Oliver for delaying the third book for a YEAR! Can you believe it's going to take that long!? Torture! Whatcha reading next? I love that we're book buddies!
GOOD!!!! Come visit =)
Love and hate RR. Can't decide. As for Mexican, it's clear LOVE. I like the classics fish tacos, classic guac, a great margarita, you name it.
I had to stop watching because if I heard that oregano meant "joy of the mountain" in greek one more damn time, I was gonna lose it.
Mmm, I love Mexican food. And Cuban. I made empanadas last night for dinner and they were super yummy. Not sure if that's actually Mexican or not…
I've nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger and Sunshine Awards. See them here: http://treatstrinkets.blogspot.com/2012/04/birthday-cake-cupcakes.html
eeee! thanks kim!
for serious
I love her as a person, hate her abundance of quirk… which is odd — because i'm quirky — I like quirky… but that woman drives me bonkers =)
this is what i love about blogs: i am a) reminded of impending holiday and b) in instances when i don't have time/inclination to tax my brain creatively the plan is laid out before me. all i have to do is pick from the pictures above, buy the food and prepare…fiesta to follow. easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
Wow, I am blown away by the yumminess of this post! (Sorry that was truly an unintentional RR reference!). Thanks for a zillion great ideas!
Too funny! This is some list of goodies you have here
Mmm…mexican food…yum! I am drooling the most over the sweet potato one, is that weird?
It's look like I'm leaning towards the Mexican pizza lasagna. Yum—almost said it!
Chile rellenos are my fond weakness with a creamy chili sauce, served with avacado and sliced tomaotes.
hahahah i totally agree with you…Rachel Ray could not be more annoying when she talks! I also want to eat that Jalapano Popper Quiche Cup and the Spicy Sweet Potato right now!!
I know! I bet it is already written. **sigh** I am going to read Hannah (have you read that one?), which is pretty short and then I am going to read Matched. Ahh, love YA books!
wow, i usually bash mexican whenever I can cuz i think it's really gross, but you have somehow managed to make it look…good enough to eat? lol. think i might! the "quiche popper cups" are def more like my style, and this way i dont feel guilty about my weight afterwards. thx =)
I used to watch RR all the time, she's the one who got me into cooking to begin with. But the past few years I can't take her anymore, I couldn't hear EVOO one more time lol
You just gave me some ideas for my Birthday party / Cinco De Mayo party this weekend!And now I have a use for all my leftover wonton wrappers!
Hope you have a fantabulous birthday chica!!!! Let me know how the celebration goes! <3 xoxo
Mexican food is my FAVORITE and this list of recipes is AH-MAZING!! Thanks girl!
The Spicy Sweet Potatoes Look like they are to DIE FOR!!! Definitely making those soon.
Omg, it is because of Rachel Ray that I canNOT will NOT ever in this lifetime say "sammie" when referring to a perfectly good SANDWICH! Ugh, it actually makes me cringe just to type it out! Eww!
How in God's name did I miss that tuna salad? Just pinned it and it is definitely happening in the near future! Yum…no "O" required!
Favorite Mexican dish: my mom's recipe for beef/turkey enchiladas…one of the first things I learned to make once I was out on my own! I could eat them every week!
Saying sammie makes me feel dirty inside. I hear it so often around blog land that I've even slipped up and said it and then immediately washed my mouth out with soap.
I just had one for dinner and pretty much could eat them every day! =) TOTALLY try them! <3
Love ya!!!! How are y'all getting settled in Savannah!? <3 Planning my trip for late may or mid june! eee!
Ooh let me know how it is!!!! Do you order actual books or just kindle ones? B/c if you go the ebook route we should just trade/lend books back and forth at this rate! Matched is on my to-read list for sure! Ohmygosh and you HAVE GOT to read the Charley Davidson books [first grave to the right, etc…] They aren't YA b/c they are a tad bit more.. um… colorful but I love them so flipping much! And you read Divergent already right? LOVE
As long as it's not over Memorial Day!! We will be in FL then … and I can't WAIT for you to come!!!
Depending on how long the wait at the library is, I get hard copy. But everything I want has a long wait list, so I've been buying the Kindle books. We should definitely share! I have no idea how to lend or borrow, so you'll have to help me out. I also have a few epub files on my iPhone, which I know you can transfer to the kindle, but I don't know how.
I read Divergent last month – cliff hanger ending! Have you read Insurgent yet? I might read that before Matched -
It's super easy! Here's the page that taught me how — http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200549320 I preorded the hard copy of insurgent like 3 months ago so i'm dying for them to ship it already – should have it next week hopefully! eee! I wonder if it will be as good as the first?
I want to like Rachel Ray, but I just find her annoying. Which makes me feel a wee bit guilty because she seems like a nice person and has never done anything to me. And BTW with anyone who says EVOO I just want to roll my eyes.
I have this bizarre chipotle enchilada dish that I love. my college roommate scribbled it down from a TV show she was watching, and she didn't get all the ingredients or steps written down, but to date I still make it with only what she wrote – and LOVE it.
Her magazine is fan-tas-tic!!! And I agree, she seems super sweet and I love her…. but absolutely loathe her! I think its her voice/verbage that drives me up the wall. Though I have a really weird voice… and my vocab is nutty…. so maybe i'm just as bad =) haha
Gahh, went through the list and not a single book that I own has lending available. I didn't realize all books weren't lendable! Boo. But once I do acquire a lendable book I'll share
I HATE when she says YUM-O!! Gahhh!!! She drives me crazy lol I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Summing Up The Season – Finally!
How do you sum up a season in which you had very little expectations? When you consider that the Devils missed the playoffs last year, had the 4th pick in the draft and found out early in the season that they would be without Travis Zajac for quite some time, there was indeed not a lot to be optimistic about for the 2011-12 season. I went into it expecting very little, and the Devils far exceeded anything that I could have ever hoped for as a season full of doubts turned into one that amazed me and left me full of pride by the time the smoke cleared!
As some of you may know, my father and I have had seasons tickets since the 2001 season and have experienced a lot with this team with ups and downs, many road trips to see the Devils play and many father/daughter moments that I live for. My father is AWESOME and if you know him, I'm sure you'll agree that Papa CJ is the man. As I sit here and try and sum up an entire season, I can't stop myself from tearing up. The Devils brought fun and excitement that I haven't had during a hockey season since 2003. Each win, each lose and each roster move brought a new bonding experience for my father and me.
The day the NHL releases the new schedule for the upcoming season is akin to Christmas Day for the both of us. I immediately call him once the schedule is announced and we try and figure out what road trips we may be able to do. This past season, I had three arenas left to visit in my quest to see the Devils play in all 30 arenas by the time I turned 30. Those cities included Nashville, Phoenix and recently added Winnipeg (technically making it 31 in 31), and we made it to 2 out of the 3, hitting up both Nashville and Phoenix. These 2 trips were amongst the best I had been on since I started this journey back in 2003. And of course, the normal routine my father and I follow on road trips made it even more fun. See, we don't just arrive in a city, watch the games and leave. We like to make them what we call "power vacations", which means we arrive in the city, hit up as many tourist attractions as we can all in a 24-72 hour time frame, watch the game, and move on to the next city. I feel like a rock star sometimes…it can be tiring, but it is SO worth it!
Nashville presented us with an interesting opportunity this past season as my father and I wanted to do something a little different than what we normally do. Once we decided that the Music City was definitely where we were going to, we organized a "power road trip" consisting of 15 people in total, including Devil Guy and his crew and one of my fellow Devils Generals, Kim Sakevich. The trip was an absolute blast, from the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry to Jack's BBQ and the downtown scene. When the Devils topped it off with a come from behind shootout win, we couldn't have asked for a better road trip. It was one that I will definitely remember and one that makes me want to go back to re-visit "Smashville" again in a heartbeat…I highly suggest it if you are ever looking for a great road trip and a great time!
From Nashville, it was back home for a little bit before we took off on another trip out…this time to Phoenix, Arizona. Coincidentally, it was the same time as Ryan Carter was traded to the Devils. Well as luck would have it, as I stepped off my plane and headed to meet my parents, a limo driver was standing near the exit with a sign that said "Ryan Carter" on it. Smiling, I walked past him, and said "I know who you're picking up, Let's Go Devils!!"…he just smiled and I continued on, not waiting for Carter to show up…didn't wanna look stalkerish.
From the airport, I met up with my dad and we headed straight to the Arizona State Fair and ate some very interesting things, including chocolate bacon (which was delicious in case you wondering) and fried Twinkies. Yeah, you read that right….chocolate bacon and fried Twinkies. It was a state fair, and as I mentioned, we like to do a lot of tourist attractions…how could I pass THAT up??
Anyway, back to the reason we went out to Arizona, to see the Devils take on the Coyotes. We arrived to the arena early, so we could watch warm-ups and meet up with some of our fellow Devils fans. Little did we know our ENTIRE ROW would be Devils fans. Unfortunately, our boys gave us little to cheer for that night. The highlight of the night (at least for me) came during a commercial break when I was given a great opportunity to be interviewed on TV by Devils in game reporter, Deb Placey about my Road Trip extravaganza. She asked me when it started, what my favorite trip was and when I was heading to Winnipeg (I'm still waiting for an answer – see video). So while the Devils didn't give us much to cheer for, it was a trip I will always remember!
We spent the next day visiting the Grand Canyon and then it was back to New Jersey to continue cheering on the boys from my seat at the Rock. It was still relatively early in the season when I went on these trips, so I had a whole season ahead of me to put my heart and soul into. There were injuries, good games and bad, and even a period where I missed a few games because I was sick (and if you know me, you know I DON'T like to miss games…but I'll touch on that in a few), but overall it was a season I would never forget.
As the regular season came to an end, it was just a matter of where the Devils would finish, but it seemed pretty clear that they were making the playoffs. Once that was determined, it was time for postseason hockey. As someone who has experienced the second season quite a bit, it's an intense time and one in which all the superstitions come out. From the same outfits, to the same jerseys, from doing laundry to wash off loses right away…there's a reason the back of my jersey says Crazy Jaime. And remember what I said about missing a few games during the season? Well, as I watched the opening video for the 2012 playoffs, I notice my brother ended up on the jumbotron. Here's a kid who goes to a handful of games, and there he was, staring me in the face EVERY playoff game. The Rock is pretty much my second home, and I didn't even get on the video with all the games I go to. I couldn't believe it. But if anything, it did kinda make me feel like I was experiencing the playoffs with him while he was working hard…so I guess there's something to be said for that!
This was a season that came out of nowhere, and one I, like many other Devils fans, was not expecting. But an unexpected season and playoff run ended up being one of the greatest I have ever experienced as a longtime fan, and one I will remember for years to come. Hopefully many of you cherished it the way I did. Playoff runs like this past season can be few and far between, and I don't take them for granted, and it made me proud to be a fan of the New Jersey Devils and part of the Devils Army!

Visitation will be from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, 2013, at Ray Funeral Home and a second visitation will be held from 1-2 p.m. Thursday, April 18, 2013, at Cleveland First United Methodist Church.
Celebration of Life services will follow beginning at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 18, 2013, at Cleveland First United Methodist Church with Rev. Barry Dickerson and Rev. Billy Owen officiating. Interment will follow in New Cleveland Cemetery.
She was born on April 30, 1917, in the Republic of Panama, where her father was an engineer employed on the Panama Canal. When she was about 6-years-old the family moved back to the states, and she was reared in the city of Forest.
She was a 1935 graduate of Forest High School and obtained a bachelor's degree in 1939 at Mississippi State College for Women. She then continued to further her education by obtaining a master's degree in 1941 in biology from Mississippi State University.
Before marriage, she worked for five years teaching at different Junior Colleges.
On May 28, 1946, she married William Hardy Bizzell in Crystal Springs. After marriage she taught part-time at Ole Miss and one year at Delta State.
Until her recent illnesses prevented, Rita kept a beautiful yard and garden, doing most of the work herself. She loved her plants, flowers, birds and all the animals around her home. She was a member of First United Methodist Church for more than 60 years. She was active in the work of the Church, teaching studies for Women's Circles, and from time to time working on kitchen, flower, or yard beautification committees.
Rita was a member of Cleveland Junior Auxiliary, working with needy children in the community.
She was a strong family person, loved by uncles and aunts from both parent's families, and returning that love to nieces and nephews coming after her. She will be sorely missed by her family, her church, and her many friends.
Mrs. Bizzell is survived by her husband of 66 years, William H. Bizzell of Cleveland; sister, Jeanne Brignac Burroughs of Tucson, Ariz.; three nieces, Rita Brignac Jones and Annette Brignac Veazey, both of Forest and Joanne Burroughs Zabaldo of Tampa, Fla.; two nephews, Dr. Richard Burroughs of Baton Rouge, La., and Robert Burroughs of Tuscon, Ariz.; cousins, Lee and Rose Bizzell of Pace and their daughter, Rita Bizzell Hewell of Apex, N.C.; a foster daughter, Joyce King Chamblee of Belle Glade, Fla.; and a group of sitters who loved and cared for Rita during the past two years and became like family.
Pallbearers will be Joseph Crews, John Henry, Homer Sledge III, Nott Wheeler Jr., Jerry Ainsworth, Graham Cassibry, Ben Bailey and Jack Fletcher.
In memory of Mrs. Bizzell, memorials can be made to First United Methodist Church P.O. Box 130 Cleveland, MS 38732 and/or MUW 1100 College St. Columbus, MS 39701 or to any charitable cause selected by the donor.

Themed AV
Feb 9, 2012 12:29 PM, By Cynthia Wisehart
How the role of pro AV in location-based entertainment is changing.
"A challenge for everyone within this working environment [is] finding ways to integrate that very personal portable device with the big show on site," Jeffers continues. "The most important part for integrators is to really recognize the opportunity and help clients and designers understand how what's being projected on the big screens in the venue can also be implemented on the small screen."
That could mean understanding compression, software, mobile apps, HTML5, and other distribution technologies that can be used to prepare content for multiple platforms and/or move it across those platforms. Jeffers also points out that increasingly guests expect to use their personal electronics to interact with the location-based experience. "We live in an age when on your phone, you can reset your home security device and tell your cable hookup to record a show—people are expecting that kind of ability when they come to a special place or experience," he says. "If that isn't there, it isn't going to feel as rich as their day-to-day life—and that's our challenge: How do we make out-of-home experiences richer."
For Jeffers, examples readily come to mind: cities that use phone apps to guide visitors around their downtown and the ambitious attraction at the Shanghai World's Fair that allowed guest to interact with what was happening on the screen via mobile device. "In that case, it was a dedicated device," Jeffers says, "but before long, it will be people's own device that they bring with them into the environment. "Disney did a test with their Kim Possible property where people used their mobile phones to track down clues throughout the whole park. So the designers were using the existing park infrastructure and then layering over a whole games scenario that people were engaged with through their phones."
For the release of the film Tron: Legacy, he says an entire social media web started engaging people while they were still at home. They were building clues into their phones wherever they were in the world so that when they went to Comic Con where the film was screening, they could follow the rest of the trail. "Eventually," Jeffers says, "this group of adventurers with smart phones all converged on the same place—an amazing replica of the bar scene from the movie."
So, he says, a good integrator will be aware of what's possible and what they need to do to make that possible, hunting out partners who are doing that kind of work and bringing them to the table.
"That's where an opportunity exists, if the integrator becomes a resource or an access to other resources for folks who are working in that arena," he says. "Even if you can't bring that expertise in house, at least now how to access it quickly and accurately. And understand the equipment and software that exists to allow you to expand the reach of content to multiple screens and platforms. Understand how people are creating the content, how the guest should experience it, and how that experience will be delivered."
Jeffers says this requires a mindset that asks, "What is being presented to the audience?" rather than what is being hung on the walls.
In the past, he says equipment was costly, and in some cases, it still is. "But increasingly what clients are buying is not the equipment; what they're buying is the integrator's experience and capability in putting it together properly," he says. "It's much more about how they can help solve the problem that the client has in terms of reaching the audience." And as experiences become less dependent on big costly equipment, interactivity and multi-screen experiences become expected in projects across the range of budgets, including those with the lowest budgets.
"If you ignore where the industry is going and where technology can take us, you do so at your peril," he says. "We don't do 36-projector slideshows anymore. We could, but we don't.
"People are expecting more in the room—better visuals, better sound—and they're expecting more interactivity. You have to hit them with more than they can get at home, which today means making it personal and individual."

Thank you for having alternative voice like Richard Wolff.
Where is the Sunday at 6PM slot for Bill Moyers. I want it back!!!! I will not donate to PBS if Bill Moyers doens't have BOTH 6PM and 11 PM as before. I am leaving if Bill Moyers does't have both slots as BEFORE. Why 11:30 PM. Is PBS a coward to put the Moyers truth featured and earlier. Why is it now 11:30 instead of 11 PM, Is it the racist, cruel Koch Bros. doing? WE WANT MORE MOYERS. MOYERS AND CO. IS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE NEWS HOUR WHICH IS TOO MIDDLING. GIVING EQUAL TIME TO THE "HITLERS" OF OUR TIME AND WE ALL KNOW IT. MOYERS IS THE VERY BEST PROGRAMMING YOU HAVE.
Pr. Daniela Gioseffi and Allan B. Rubin, M.D.
Daniela Gioseffi MEMBER Channel 13 PBS.
Bill Moyers and Richard Wolf are so good and so true to the reality of the American economy and run away capilatlism without conscience that is destroying our country, but Wolf is a bit mild-mannered about it. He does not talk enough about how deliberate the inequality is to socially engineer a poor and desperate workng class who HAVE to continue to work for starvation wages. We need to realize that we live in a non-democratic society and that we are becoming, and have become in great measure, a 3rd world country, ruled by an oligarchy of multinational corporations who do not give a darn about people anywhere, only their profits and their fat CEO salaries and perks. We must disavow the idea that we are truly a fullblown democracy.Operatives like the Koch Bros. are taking over state governments and laws. Our rightwing dominated supreme court has made fascistic decisions like Citizens U. v the Federal Elections Commission that murdered government "by the people and for the people." America still has the potential for greatness, and I am a patriotic American, but we will not get back to at least the decency of the Eisenhower years, for example, unless we get really tough and educate the masses on why they're failing and struggling and how DIRE Climate Crisis Catastrophe is, with only a decade or less to save the habitable planet, while the Koch Bros., Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, TransCanada have a strangle hold on our biosphere and our lives. Off shore corporation investments and a rotten minimum wage, and control of our major media by fossil fule multi-nationals corps. is totally destroying all vestigages of democracy and decency and equality, and the entire planet. Life will not be sustainable, because of the strangle hold these filthy fossil fuel corps and rotten employers like Walmart, etc. are KILLING AMERICA. We want Bill Moyers on at 6 and 11 as before. Why is the Moyers show now at 11:30 PM. Is Channel 13 PBS afraid of the Koch Bros who put the "Teeth Party" in congress to deal a death blow to democracy and the decency that the Obama administration is attempting to institute? WE WANT MORE BILL MOYERS AND CO. at 6 PM and 11PM as before on Sundays. NOT later at 11:30 PM or we are quitting our membership. WE WANT MORE, not less, BILL MOYERS & CO. HE IS THE GREATEST PBS broadcaster of ALL!!!!! Moyers helps save our democracy, while the racist, UNdemocratic Koch Bros. destroy it.
Andrew Kreig did an in depth review of serious political deceptions that go well beyond the 'personalized' and romanticized (Sopranos style negative attractions?) of American Greed and Power abuses in the Capital. Many of the cynical perspectives here are endemic to power and politics but the real politik of power relations are more ugly and damaging because it is the 'system' itself…not simply opportunists abusing the system for self gains. Kreig would make a great interview on Moyers & company and people might be interested in his recent publication: http://www.amazon.com/Presidential-Puppetry-Obama-Romney-Masters/dp/0988672812/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377553927&sr=1-1&keywords=Andrew+Kreig
Presidential Puppetry: Obama, Romney and Their Masters
But don't let the title confuse you, it is not about the past election but about the system itself and the processing of power relations.
Moyers stopped being a journalist ten years ago, and his guests come from Mars, they do not come from planet Earth.
I find Bill Moyers to be one of the only true voices for the people. Your insults do not distract from the truth. Better luck next time.
Tonight's interview with Henry Giroux was a devastating synthesis of trends that are destroying democracy in this country and making a mockery of our Constitution and its Amendments. The lack of action by the very individuals getting shafted is telling; this is the exact same behavior pattern that most Germans held to in 1938 during Kristallnacht. Here, the corporate and money powers that be (and their political lackeys) have already given away the game with the 47% comment, but instead of committing vast sums of people, materiel, and transport to somehow getting rid of 47% of 310 million people, they want these people to vanish on their own. They claim to be somehow "christian" or otherwise "religious" when questioned, but their victims will hardly be raptured to existence on a higher plane.
I lost my family in Europe during the Final Solution, and find myself embarrassed to be an American now.
Thank you Bill for exposing the corruption and giving insight in this age of bought and paid for news.
Implore North Carolinians to listen to this and let us restore NC to its rightful owners-the people of nc
I am not sure why the discussion of housing in NYC focuses on the rich. It should focus instead on all the breaks that both very rich and relatively poor in the city get (including subsidized rents, tax breaks etc) . Though the breaks are not the only reason that the city in-affordable to regular workers, they are still the real reason for the middle-class squeeze. But fighting NYC housing politics is a no-no for any 'liberal', while just focusing on the rich is easy. Yes, the international wealth is a problem here as it is in London and at other expensive playgrounds, but just like the shadows over CP, this is not the major! problem. Well, its better to place the rich into a supertower, then into a low story neighborhood — and kill an entire block (as is the case in London).
Silencing Bill Moyers moves Channel 13 to the right. We watched every Sunday at 6 PM to see what this veteran journalist has found that few were willing to report. Now the right wing of your board has silenced another journalist of conscience and replaced him with yet another magazine of fluff. We all are poorer for your move.
