Developers are getting so good at pushing our buttons with their RSI-afflicted fingers that it's becoming genuinely scary.
Consider the R6V:2 experience point system, expanded from the original R6 Vegas. During our recent multiplayer playtest I caught another player running into a wooden cupboard to prepare an ambush. Making use of the new bullet penetration I peppered it with rounds until a sharp groan told me he was dead.
Text immediately flashed onto the bottom of the screen telling me just how many EXPERIENCE POINTS I'd earned for the kill, plus how many points I got for my CQV CLOSE-QUARTER KILL BONUS, and how many points I got for shooting this guy in the BACK.
Then the round ended and up flashed pictures of the stylish new helmet, SMG, flak jacket and thigh pads I'd earned. I was half expecting an option to visit the Auction House, but no. Maybe when I make Corporal.
Now in the context of the old Rainbow Six games all this is insane, but with Rainbow Six Vegas the series set its sights on accessibility, and R6V:2 is showing no signs of slowing down.
Red Storm have the engine, Ubisoft liked the sales figures and the general consensus seems to have been "Let's give them more of what they want."
Why Vegas again? According to one of the developers I spoke to, they "...love taking you out of your comfort zone. We like putting the player somewhere he might recognise and saying 'Hey, what if this happened?'"
Smooth answer, but I suspect their art department had a few spare research photos lying around. Regardless, R6V:2 will feature a different squad from the original and it'll follow this new team's exploits both while the original team are in Mexico, and after they've returned home to their beer and awkward domestic relationships.
This should tie up R6V's clunky beginning and end, and we can still look forward to new environments - R6V:2 is set off the Strip, in the slums and crumbling casinos that lie outside it and in the desert beyond those.
You can also look forward to smarter AI both with you and against you. Squadmates will now 'leapfrog' when you tell them to advance under fire. That's where soldiers pair up and alternate between suppressing the enemy and advancing to cover. As for the bad guys, they'll now withdraw any limbs poking out from behind cover when you shoot them, or move altogether.
Topping this off are a few new weapons, the ability to sprint, and VIP and bomb-planting online game modes. Whether it hits that release date is another matter.

Road Safety Audits SEMCOG is working to reduce roadway crashes by conducting road safety audits in member communities to improve the safety and performance of community corridors via low-cost improvements. The toll from highway crashes remains an important health and economic issue in the United States. Each year nearly 43,000 individuals are killed and 3 million are injured. The estimated societal cost of these highway crashes is more than $230 billion annually. Road Safety Audits (RSAs) are an effective tool for improving the safety performance via low-cost improvements. What is a road safety audit? The goal of an RSA is to answer the following questions:
RSAs are:
What are the benefits of a road safety audit program?

The Basque language also known as Euskera is much more than just another dialect of Spain or France. The Basque country covers seven ancient provinces in both Spain and France, meaning that the language itself is influenced by the surrounding languages. However what is so special about the language spoken in the Basque country is that it is unrelated to any known language and therefore called a language isolate. Today there are about 660,000 people mainly in the Basque country that speak Euskera. Back in the 14th century, citizens of Huesca were officially forbidden from speaking Basque. If they did and were caught, they would be required to pay a fine.
The Basque language was incorporated into Castilian Spanish several centuries ago. Castilian Spanish is spoken in the Cantabria area of Spain, which is located right next to the Basque country. Interestingly enough, Basque did influence the pronunciation of Castilian Spanish words, with the Castilian language eventually taking some Basque words for usage. However, Basque grammar has had very little, if any influence on Castilian Spanish. One common Spanish word that has been adopted from Basque is izquierda (left). Two other languages impacted by Euskera are Catalan and Portuguese. The Catalan word for left is esquerra whereas the Portuguese word for left is esquerda. The Basque word is ezkar.
Euskera is considered to be the last descendant of the pre-Indo-European languages or old Eurasian group of languages once spoken in Western Europe. After the fall of Rome, the area was forgotten, neglected or ignored, which enabled the ancient version of Basque (Aquitanian) to live on. Other ancient languages (Tartessian and Iberian) died out. Because Basque survived, it was able to coexist along with Romance languages, exchanging words back and forth. The first Romance language source was Latin; Gascon also contributed some words and, in the northeastern part of the Basque country, Navarro-Aragonese contributed some words and, finally, dialects from southwestern Spain added some words.
Features of the language spoken in the Basque country include using the Subject-Object-Verb order rather than the Subject-Verb-Object order. Basque contains no consonant clusters and the system of vowels is simple.
Despite having some information on this mysterious language, Linguists are still not 100 percent certain where this language has originated from, which might make it appealing to learn for some.

John Paul Jones unveils new band
John Paul Jones has started a new band called Minibus Pimps.
Jones has joined forces with Norwegian musician Deathprod - aka Helge Sten - for the project. The band will release their debut LP Cloud To Ground on March 3, reports Pitchfork. The band have launched their own website website.
Meanwhile, Robert Plant recently revealed he discovered previously unreleased Led Zeppelin music, some of which features the band's bassist John Paul Jones on vocals and which may feature on the forthcoming remastered releases of Led Zeppelin's back catalogue.
Speaking about John Paul Jones' response to the material which features him on vocals, he joked that Jones is trying to bribe him not to release the songs. "So far, he's going to give me two cars and a greenhouse not to get 'em on the album," he said.
John Paul Jones has ruled out the possibility of a Led Zeppelin reunion this year - because he is too busy writing an opera. When asked about a 2014 Led Zeppelin reunion by Red Carpet TV News, he replied: "2014 is full of opera for me at the moment." Last year he revealed he was "halfway through the first act" of his opera, which is based on Spöksonaten (The Ghost Sonata), a 1907 play by Swedish writer August Strindberg. He described opera as being "unlike anything else", adding: "It's the emotion, the passion, and I'm writing an opera myself so I have to say that."

The information on these pages reflects applicable systemwide tuition and fees for resident and nonresident students. Tuition and fees may vary from one academic year or semester to the next. Thus, you should use the left navigation to select a specific year or semester to view its schedule of registration tuition and fees, nonresident tuition, and other fees and charges.
The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Tuition and Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after initial tuition and fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed tuition and fees, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed tuition and fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by The Board of Trustees.
- Tuition and Fees for auditing are the same as for credit.
Mandatory systemwide tuition and fees are waived for those individuals who qualify for such exemption under the provisions of the California Education Code (see section on Fee Waivers).
Fee Allocation
A fee advisory committee comprised of a student majority provides advice to the campus president about charging student fees and allocating campus-based fee revenue. Resources from the materials, services, and facilities fee are used to support a variety of services, and currently are allocated to support health services, instructionally related activities, transportation, childcare, and university services (includes ID card, transcripts, campus catalog, graduation/diploma). The allocation to transportation supports alternative modes of transportation, including the shuttle service, but does not include a parking permit. If you elect to purchase a parking permit, you will pay an additional fee as noted in Other Fees and Charges.
Note: Adopted at the California State University system level and mandated for inclusion in all CSU campus catalogs, gray-colored text applies to all 23 campuses in the system. Black text pertains uniquely to CSUMB.

Test System Setup
Processor: Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 (Supplied by Intel)
Motherboard: Gigabyte P965-DQ6 (Supplied by Gigabyte)
Hard Disk: 500GB Seagate 7200.9 SATA (Supplied by Seagate)
Graphics Card: 2x MSI Radeon 1950PRO in Crossfire (Supplied by MSI)
Cooling: Gigabyte 3D Galaxy II (Supplied by Gigabyte)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP SP2
Drivers: Intel INF 18.104.22.1681, ATI Catalyst 7.1 and DX9c
While we did start our testing on the nVidia nForce 680i chipset, we also tested on the Intel P965 chipset just to see what we could get. The results appeared identical in terms of maximum clock speed attainable. We used Gigabyte's P965-DQ6 motherboard in our benchmark results so we could use Crossfire in our game tests to eliminate the VGA as the bottleneck in our results.
Our tests put the OCZ FlexXLC Edition memory (2 x 1GB in dual channel) up against the Corsair PC2-8500 (also 2 x 1GB in dual channel) at DDR2-800 at SPD, DDR2-800 at the tightest timings possible and then at 1200MHz DDR for the OCZ memory with the timings on SPD.
We managed to run the OCZ memory at timings of 4-4-4-15 at 800MHz DDR without any problems and the Corsair memory operated at 4-5-4-18 at 800MHz DDR for its tightest timings and 1066MHz for its highest memory clock with relaxed timings.
Let's get things underway and check out the performance numbers!

Me and my dad rebuild the engine in an MF 50D diggerloader when I was 6 years old, and that aummer was also the first time for me to drive it. Yes I was too small and had to stand on drive. When I was ten I attended by all my heart in complete restoration of our Brøyt X2b excavator and Scania 80 Super dumper truck. I also started driving this excavator at the age of 10 with its 4 stick control and know drift on the wheels so you had to drag it self forward with the arm and bucket.This is a dangerous machine, easy to tip over. Whe I was 15 I restorated on my own an Atlas Copco ROC 302 fully air pressured rock drilling rigg and a International 434 tractor. At 16 I got my tractor drivers lisence and my dad to invest in a 1983 Kobelco 905 excavator with tracks as a payment for building him a new dumper on truck chassis. I also got my first jobb as a contractor sandblasting and repainting dumpsters for a dumpsters rental company. When 17 my brother, dad and I started building our boat. Turning 18 and getting my drivers lisence I fitted dumpers on two more truck chassis, this time for other truck companies. 21 years old I finished gollege as an engineer in hydraulics and mechanics and went in for my 1year of military service, Got so lucky to do testing as a driver of a new armourd engineer vehicle based on the leopard 1A5 tank chassis. Finish with my duty for "king ang mother land" I started as a contractor in construction. Grown up in a country were motorsports are a bad thing and big petrol consiuming engings are even worse according to the goverment' I have cept me to the diesel engines and machinery until I purchased my dream off all years in 2005 and got my 1979 Trans am. Could be because of a well known movie that I think I wore out the VCR on during my childhood? just love the looks you get driving around in a classic muscle car. Everyone goes..WOW !! But what I realy loves the most is sitting outside my house and just look at my car or take it for some short trips in the sun.. feel the engines sound, vibrations and torque and how it sticks to the road and maybe dream that we were back in the 70's. By the way, we finished our boat in 1999, after 5 years and 15000 hours of building.!
My first car
Year 1944 Dodge WC51 3/4t Military Vehicle, personel/weapon carrier. Both from an military auction in the Norwegian army in 1993 together with my brother, two years before I got my drivers lisence.
Car I wish I still had
No, I don't miss them at all ! Maybe except the 1944 Dodge that my brother has fully restored

The Sequester and the Five Stages of Grief
11:21 am in 2010 election, 2012 election by Phoenix Woman
It's interesting to see how much of the content of our Elite Media Overlords is devoted to pretending the sequester is no big deal — or is strictly Obama's fault, as if the Republicans didn't help plan it and didn't trumpet it as a huge victory when they signed off on it back in 2011. Witness, for example, this piece by Glenn Kessler in last Friday's Washington Post. Lots of denial going on, that's for sure.
Ironically enough, Friday's WaPo also had this piece by Lisa Rein, which does a reasonably good job of pointing out when and where the harms caused by the sequester will manifest themselves. She put some focus on the cuts being forced at the US Department of Agriculture, whose Food Safety Inspection Service is responsible for inspecting all the red meat and poultry processed and consumed in America; fully a third of her article was devoted to the furloughs planned for that single USDA agency, and the efforts of various entities, especially representatives of the meat industry and the Republicans whose political campaigns they fund, to pretend in the face of all the evidence that sequestration wouldn't hurt and the furloughs didn't have to hurt, either.
In other words, they're mostly still stuck, publicly at any rate, in the first stage of Sequester Grief — denial.
But there are signs that the denial is wearing off and they're moving into the anger phase, as more energy is being devoted by the Republicans, the far-right falangist billionaires that love them, and the media outlets run by those billionaires, to putting all the blame on Obama as the effects of the sequester start to become undeniable. From a recent James Rosen article:
House Republicans, among them the head of a key oversight panel, threatened Friday to call Cabinet secretaries and other executive agency managers before congressional hearings on how furloughs are applied in the wake of forced spending cuts.
"If they're laying off TSA agents and air-traffic controllers, and yet (Transportation Secretary) Ray LaHood's office is still getting cleaned each night, come on," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the regulatory subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee.
Shorter Jim Jordan: Damn, chasing my own tail hurts when I finally bite down on it.
Back in reality, Rosen deftly undercuts Jordan's chest-thumping dominance displays thus:
Republicans have accused Obama and Democratic congressional allies of trying to gain political advantage by painting doomsday scenarios about the immediate impact of the forced spending cuts, which the Republicans say amount to only 2.2 percent of this year's projected $3.8 trillion federal budget.
But about two-thirds of the total budget is exempt under the 2011 Budget Control Act, which requires $1.2 trillion in forced cuts over a decade if Congress can't find other reductions. The automatic cuts, called sequestration, were to have started Jan. 1 of this year, but a short-term deal pushed them back to March 1.
The exempted spending – including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits, and wages for active-duty troops – means that hundreds of discretionary military and non-defense programs will experience an effective hit of 6.6 percent or more.
What's left that's cuttable must, by the terms of the sequester, be cut across the board. This was intentional. The sequester was deliberately designed to be so painful that it would force all parties to the negotiation table, and its creation was celebrated by key Republicans, including John Boehner and Paul Ryan.
It's going to take awhile for the full effects to be felt, mainly because legal and administrative requirements in many government agencies require thirty days of advance notice before furloughs are to take place. But the effect of this will be to concentrate the furloughs in those agencies into the last quarter of the government's fiscal year, which ends September 30. That will intensify the impact on the various industries that depend on government aid and oversight to function. That, in turn, will intensify the calls by the representatives of those impacted industries for a fix of some sort — and the only fixes possible at this point are either a complete cave by the Tea Party Caucus on revenue increases, or a way to kick the can further down the road, preferably after the 2014 midterms. (Of course, either of these would have to be dressed up in pretty pink face-saving ribbons to keep the Teepers from revolting over them.)
In other words, expect to see the bargaining, depression, and hemi-semi-demi-acceptance stages show up sometime this summer. Read the rest of this entry →

"This is spectacular. I've been using this recipe for a couple of years now. Can't believe I never reviewed it!
This is NOT a cheese sauce or the California style white sauce. This sauce is probably found in other areas but the only place I've ever seen it served in a restaurant is in the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Va.
"This is so good! We definitely did not miss the pasta! I used 1 lbs of ground beef, double the spices, and added salt. Before the salt the meat was pretty bland. I used ricotta because it had slightly less carbs than the cottage cheese I looked at. Also, I used a colby-jack blend because I'm not a huge mozzerella. This is definitely a keeper..."
"What a great treat! It DOES have that Splenda aftertaste at first but you have to expect that. It's nice and light and tart. It reminds me of Yoplait Light Thick and Creamy Key Lime Pie yogurt which is my absolute favorite. But that's too high carb! This is fantastic."
"Excellent! Just like Outback! I used turkey bacon, fresh sauteed mushrooms, and a homemade honey mustard. It was delicious!!!! The honey mustard I made was 3/4 c mayo, 1/3 cup dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup agave syrup, and a healthy pinch of pepper. I let the sauce sit in the fridge for a couple hours before dinner. To servce I spoo..."
"I really loved this but my husband says it's a high 3 or a low 4. Based on the other reviews I used equal parts ketchup and salsa. The salsa I had was a medium southwest style with corn and beans mixed in. Very tasty. I didn't have dijon so I used spicy brown mustard. It came out great. I served it with brown rice cooked in chicken broth an..."
"I had to sub a lot of ingredients but the basics are the same. I tasted the mix as I went along and this is what I ended up with - 1/2 of a rotisserie chicken, 3 oz of neufchatel cheese, 1 small can of green chilies, a little less than 1 tbsp onion powder, and a sprinle of shredded sharp cheddar, 1/4 cup of broccoli chopped, and reduced fat cres..."
"This has become a regular in our house! I used this recipe for the basic method but I load mine up with veggies. I quadruple the sauce because we add some many vegetables. I use carrots, 2 bell peppers, 2 celery stalks, and 4-6 green onions. Sometimes I also add sliced mushrooms. I've made this with chicken, shrimp, and bay scallops. Shrimp ..."
"I had to make some substitutions but this was so great! I didn't have any stock or boullion so I used a few good pinches of poultry seasoning - not really the same, I know, but it was tasty. I used a can of green chilies instead of the bell pepper. I'm glad I had them b/c otherwise the sauce would have been too sweet for my taste. In fact, nex..."

Annie's Annuals sometimes has it in stock. If you know anyone in CA that lives near Annie's you might ask them to drop by and look for it. I've gotten plants that are listed as being out of stock on their site. Grassy Knoll carries Oxalis carnosa which is a caudiciform type of oxalis. |

I can't help you, but oxalis is a dirty word at my place, normally uttered after other appropriate expletives. Brad |
I'm in S. Cal. Where is Annie's? |

Thank you karyn1 I most certainly will look into those. pennyhal, I am not sure were in Cal. it is but I will try to find out, thanks:). Brad, ya i know all about oxalis being a dirty word in my yard..lol Oh but oxalis gigantea is a most wonderful plant, worth seeking out. Mary |
Annie's is located at 740 Market Ave. in Richmond, CA. |
Sorry, Richmond is up North. Otherwise I would have enjoyed a trip over to that side of the bay. |

I googled it, cool looking plant. There was a post from Gardenweb that came up suggesting that it was available from Arid Lands. Not sure if that helps but worth a try. Tami |

There is a great misconception in our society concerning what the current government, like the past administration, is doing in the Middle East. The majority of Americans have been deceived into believing that our military campaigns overseas involve combating terrorism, but once the conduct of the operations and the details of the fighting are examined, it becomes clear that the war that we are prosecuting is the real terrorism. Indeed, U.S. foreign policy actually tends to perpetuate so-called terrorism in the countries that we audaciously invade and subsequently occupy.
The very phrase "War on Terror" is a euphemism used to conceal the fact that it is instead a war against the Muslim world. Escalating employment of "drones," man-less aerial craft remotely controlled from hundreds or even thousands of miles away, has resulted in a substantial increase in "collateral damage" (another euphemism) as targeted air strikes against so-called "insurgents" (yet another) cause unacceptably numerous, innocent civilian deaths. With all of this in mind, current U.S. foreign policy seems more likely predicated on scaring the American people into submissive compliance to the state rather than on genuine "security" or "defense" in what can only be nakedly described as a blatant government power grab domestically and a further imperialist push for American hegemonic ambitions abroad. The effects of racial and cultural tensions fomented by the Federal propaganda machine are increasingly being felt here at home. Last week, Shaima Alwadi was murdered in what was undoubtedly a racially motivated hate crime, a victim of collective guilt unfairly attached to an innocent woman.
While the government's imperialistic endeavors grow, the government manipulates the people at home under the guise of protecting our freedoms by encroaching on our civil liberties. More and more we are seeing the effects of these never-ending wars here at home. The Transportation Security Agency (TSA) is feeling us up and taking nude pictures of us, our local police forces are investing in tanks, helicopters, heavy armor, and other war-like materials while at the same time it seems that more and more people are being arrested and/or brutality attacked by the police for such peaceful, nonviolent activities as filming them in public areas. The fact that those who are supposed to be serving and protecting us seem to be increasingly arresting and attacking us is an extremely unsettling one that we are now forced to live with.
Despite all of this, there is hope. A new organization called the Austin Alliance For Peace (AA4P) has been founded. We are a trans-partisan organization that seeks to promote peaceful solutions in an era where violence and threats are too often employed. By educating the public on the violations of peace, mobilizing them to bring peace wherever it is absent, pursuing the redress of grievances in alignment with the tradition of nonviolent resistance, and building a constituency whose main priority is to practice diplomacy and to strive to solve problems without the use of violence, AA4P hopes to create a more peaceful, loving world now and for future generations.
The first event that AA4P is putting on will be Saturday, April 14 at noon at the south steps of the Texas Capitol and is the first annual AA4P Peace Rally. There will be speakers discussing the various forms of violence in our society, including the multiple wars that our nation is engaged in and the growing militarization of our local police forces. Keynote talks will be delivered by Iraqi-American medical doctor turned full-time peace activist Dahlia Wasfi, and host of Antiwar Radio Scott Horton. Other speakers scheduled to appear include local Austin activists such as Iraq War veteran and victim of police abuse Antonio Buehler, and Texans for Accountable Government Executive Director Heather Fazio.
The rally is rapidly growing as more and more people are getting excited about attending and standing up for peace. Students from over ten universities from across the state have committed to attend, from such diverse groups as Libertarian Longhorns, the Israeli-Palestinian Alliance, and Amnesty International. In addition to the large amounts of students that are going to be in attendance, many people from throughout the state and from all different walks of life will also be there. Organizations from Code Pink to Texans for Accountable Government to Texans for Peace will also be in attendance, making this event as large as it is diverse.
Peace is a popular message that everyone can get behind. The Austin Alliance For Peace is the first truly trans-partisan peace organization in the state that is determined to build bridges and form a diverse alliance of people dedicated to bringing peace to a violent world and it begins in Austin on April 14! Please, stand in solidarity as we spread the message of peace and compassion for those who have suffered from violence.

SOUND OF THE WORLD By Paul-Emile Comeau Published June 27, 2006 Wrasse Wrass
Every fall, the people of the Western world, well, a few of them anyway, have come to rely on a couple of yearly dispatches to help steer them through another year: the latest edition of the Old Farmer's Almanac and a new compilation from Charlie Gillett. The BBC DJ's compilations may not yet be a long-standing tradition but his devotees hope that it will become one. Sound of the World, named after Gillett's weekly radio show, is another impressive double CD containing some of the best music to have come out since last year's compilation. The 33 artists from 28 countries or so include a few stars, such as Youssou N'Dour, Manu Chao, Mariza, Lhasa and Oliver Mtukudzi. The thrill, however, is in discovering so many new names that deserve to become more widely known. Some of these have recently had high-profile recordings released in North America (Daby Balde, Shukar Collective) but many of them, possibly including Camille from France, rapper Clotaire K from Lebanon, and Ivan Kupala from Russia, are bound to be exciting for many music fans.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The California Highway Patrol says a 35-mile stretch of Highway 58 between Bakersfield and Mojave remains closed because of a winter storm.
Hundreds of vehicles had to stop when Highway 58 was closed after the weather quickly turned white around 8 p.m. Tuesday. Road crews helped drivers exit near Tehachapi.
The CHP says no one has been injured and nobody is trapped in the snow.
Students in several areas of Southern California, including Hesperia, are getting a day off because of snow.

Any gay guys get pussy? How was it? Did you become bi/straight? Share your experiences
Any gay guys get pussy? How was it? Did you become bi/straight? Share your experiences
Yes I tried pussy and loved it. Here's the thread I posted:
hehe hav u fucked it yet?
Not yet. Pussy is damn near impossible to get. You'd think it was lined with gold.....lol
Gay men doesn't exist, we are all bi dude... sexuality is so fluid... we gay men desire pussy so much!!
This is one of the reasons I love cock, pussy is always playing hard to get. I can always find good cock to suck, or a cute guy who wants to fuck me.
I fucked a girl once, personally I didn't like it one bit. It just wasn't for me one bit. I would way rather fuck some cute guy's butt or get fucked. But that's just my personal feeling. I will admit that some pussy's are attractive, though.
I'm 98% gay - I love cock and everything masculine. However, I say 98% rather than 100% because I've had pussy a couple of times in my life. In my college days, i spent a lot of time with my straight roommates. On more than one occassion, we (three of us) shared a hooker that we took turns fucking. The fucking was nice - she was pretty, had a nice tight warm piece, and she knew how to use it. I think that my buds really enjoyed her. But, for me, it was mostly a chance to bond with the bros.
Never tried it..but wanting to.not sure how to make it happen
I've had pussy but if the girl has a good ass I'll fuck her ass more, but man ass is easier to score, and I don't get the hang-ups.
I am out as gay and really have a lot of desire to fuck a pussy. I am somewhat hesitant about it because i worry that it could mean i could be straight. I love guys but man, my fantasies about chicks are vivid and powerful.
I'm gay and have strong urges to fuck pussy sometimes. The thought of my gay dick in pussy really turns me on. I like bi and straight porn and think some pussies are really hot to look at. Im not interested in the slightest about a relationship with a woman, but a bit of fun definitely. My ex bf and I had sex with a bi couple. It was mmmf sex, we all shared and swapped. Seeing my bf cock slide in her pussy was probably the most erotic thing I've ever seen. I identify as gay, but I'm obviously bi to a degree. No hang ups. I know what I like! Sometimes it's an urge for a pussy on my dick.
^^Yeah, I don't get all the hang ups either. One couple I chatted with for months and nothing ever happened. Started out he wanted a 3way with his g/f. Then he tried to get to meet him alone and let him blow me in his car. I passed. Then he broke up with the g/f. Turns out he's married. The last time we spoke he just wanted to jack me off. So many hang ups. Its really ridiculous
[QUOTE=eggsel;8102159]Gay men doesn't exist, we are all bi dude... sexuality is so fluid... we gay men desire pussy so much!![/QUOTE
I hope this is a joke...
What's to be afraid of? Fuck some pussy if you want. I know I'm gay - Men turn me on the most - but I fuck women whenever I want.
Liberate yourself.
I like to fuck women but some differences - they tend to have more hang-ups - they tend to have more rules, and they are physically smaller and more fragile -
But there are couple of women in my area that I bang once in a while. But the thing with them is I have to ditch them after a while because they inevitably want more than just the NSA sex I have to offer, and I'm not at all interested in a long term relationship with a woman.
The gay guys that want pussy have the exact same issues as straight men that want to have sex with a man, just in reverse. I know quite a few gays guys that get pussy because they're in a MMF 3way situation, or their bi-curious, or they want to get laid and a hole is a hole is a hole when it's being offered up easy, or they can fuck a woman with no risk of emotional attachment, or the idea of straight sex is taboo to gays and therefore exciting, and on and on and on.
Jeremy Bilding fucking a girl for sg4ge
Jeremy Bilding - Pornhub.com
love the way his sweaty ass jiggles.....lol
Super hot idea--gay here with a male partner for 23 years. Going to explore a m/f/m 3way. It's a huge turn on. For Hot4Latinos: is Jeremy Bilding gay? Hot vid of him fucking that lady you posted!
Jeremy Bildings (AKA Ryan Driller) started in gay porn, did that scene for sg4ge (Straight guys 4 Gay Eyes). Must have liked it because he switched to doing straight porn under the name ryan driller
Ryan Driller MALE STRIPPER BUTT FUCK ((Cochinadas)) - xHamster.com
just fingered a girl last night, hope to fuck that snatch soon!
I was 24 before I even knew what pussy was. I thought it meant boobs. Seriously. Then I thought ewwww when I found out. No offense to anyone in this section intended, but you asked.
Jazzamcc. Reading your reply turned me on! There is something really hot about gay guys tag teaming a pussy. Getting all wet and making her cum on your gay cock. You ever had any experience?
I totally agree Adam, Jazz's replay was pretty hot. While i have no experience tag teaming a pussy, it sounds like it would be really sexy. Pounding into her with your bro and getting your prick wet in her and his juices. MMMMMM
I'm on the other side. I have had pussy multiple times but while having sex, I can't help but to think of blowing another guy. Pussy is great, but I have never had penis. How do I go about this discreetly? I want to taste cum, other than my own. Long story short, Iv had pussy many times, but still dream of a rock hard dick cumming in my throat while another guy cums in my virgin butt. (I have sucked a dick, although only my own, but the cum was sooooo yummy!)
Get pussy on the regular..truly bisexual here, enjoy both
Rod Daily fucks a girl at sge4ge:
Rod Daily - Pornhub.com
I'm strictly gay but occasionally I fantasize about fucking a pussy. I don't desire a woman, I simply want to feel what it's like to have my dick in a pussy. I sort of wanna "compare and contrast" the feeling of fucking a pussy vs fucking a man-ass. I once asked this male friend of mine who goes both ways what it feels like to fuck a pussy, and if it feels different from fucking an ass, and he said "It's the same feeling!"
I wanna try it out for myself to see if it really does feel the same or if it's just a similar feeling. Also, I like the idea of sticking my dick in a warm wet hole without the need for lube. I wanna feel what it's like to have my raging hardon covered in pussy juice.
Nope don't want to, I'm not bisexual.
I tried pussy late in life at 40 and loved it now have many session one on one with a woman and as part of a mmf. My first time was with a friend she and her husband had been trying for over 10 years to get me to have sex with her. We are both clean and she wanted to my warm cum in her pussy her words. Some pics of that first time are below as is one from a swingers party.
Dont put it off if you fantasie about it. Do it now so you can then decide weather you want more of it. Wish i had done it years ago now.
I started a new Tumblr blog on this. Enjoy!
I've written a story on the subject of the difficulty of getting started - hope some of your guys enjoy it!

Hi folks
I'm an "un"regular/regular over on the cooking forum and received tons of advice from the kitchens forum when we remodeled our kitchen a few years ago. I am cross posting this on the remodeling and kitchen forums as well to get as much help as I can so thanks for your patience. We were away on vacation for three weeks and came home to a leaky toilet in our master bath. The water damage extends from the floor of the bathroom where the subfloor buckled thus cracking the tiles, down into the ceiling and walls of the first floor under the bathroom and further down into the wall of the basement bathroom. Our insurance company has sent a water mitigation company out and they are in the process of removing tile in the bathroom, drywall in the bathroom and from the walls and ceilings in the rest of the house that were damaged. They also had to take out our "new" floor under the wet walls on the first floor. It looks like we will need a new floor for the entire first floor of our house. I am here for advice. I wasn't planning a bathroom remodel as I actually liked my bathroom 0:). It looks like we will need to retile the entire bathroom as the floor tiles go up the tub surround and up the entire walls of the shower. I really, really, really don't want this to end up costing us more than the insurance payout but on the other hand this is an opportunity to update the bathroom a little. The only change I would like to make, is to possibly put in a bigger soaking tub as the one we have is a little small and shallow. I think the bigger tub will fit in the same space as there was a fairly large surround. The old tile was grey but I am thinking of going a very light cream or beige now to match with the rest of our house which is warm colors but the fixtures will stay white. Also we will stain the old cabinets which were pickled pink!!! oak a dark brown color and get a new counter, faucets and sinks which will be on our expense. What I really need from this forum is advice on what to look out for as they remove and dry up the water and then as we reconstruct the bathroom especially as I have not had enough time to do lots of research. Then while the ceiling is open in the dining room under the bathroom, I am going to see if dh will let me put in some lighting which we've been talking about for the last oh 10 years or so. The thing is that this room is now used as a dining room by us but it is farther from the kitchen than the living room and so new owners, if we ever sell, would most likely not use it as a dining room but as a living room. What lights should we install? Recessed, chandelier, other? Finally, I am going to need advice on the floor. We have an engineered wood laminate floor that runs through most of the first floor and the ENTIRE floor is going to need to be replaced. Which actually is not a bad thing because it seems we were ripped off and have had tons of problems with water damage from even as little liquid as a spilled drink which was wiped up immediately. So now I get to choose a new floor and I don't want the same problems. We do however need to choose something that can flow from one room to the next and function well without getting damaged from spills. Advice? If you've read this epic post - THANK YOU! and i will really appreciate all the help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I know you! Having recovered from my kitchen, I would like to redo my master bath but have been held up on trying to find a way to improve the shower. I stop over here on occasion to see if I can find inspiration. So sorry you have all this to deal with. I think your ideas are good. Making the bath blend with the rest of the house is good, just keep in mind that it doesn't have to match if you want a little different personality. The larger tub adn less surround sounds good too. The lighint issue is hard to picture, but I don't think you can go wrong with a modest number of recessed lights and a chandelier in the center. The box for the chandelier could house a ceiling fan or different type of fixture down the road. Make sure they are on different switches and you will provide a lot of lighting options. I have an engineered wood floor that has been down 6-8 months now. We ran it through the kitchen also where DH drips at the sink and have it at the back door where kids and dogs come in after being in the pool. We had a party where I was surprised at the number of kids who came in dripping. The water wiped right up -- no damage and I was actually glad we didn't still have our tile, because even with the texture, that much water would have had someone on slipping and falling on it. Mine is Bella Cera, but it is marketed under different names in other areas. They did a floating installation but I watched them put glue along all the edges, so that may help seal the edges. There used to be a thread on HGTV that had a series of photos of what appeared to be my same flooring under the Palmetto Road name. Mine is Bella Cera Amalfi Coast by Southern Floors. I can't find that now, but here is a photo from their website that was one of those on HGTV. I'd have taken the house with the floors, but I like them in mine too. ;-) |

I am not an expert, but I have done two bathroom remodels and a laundry room remodel. The laundry room was actually prompted by an unfortunate main sewage stack leak (small) that ruined the floor. Because our leak was slow over time (behind a wall), our insurance company would not pay for any repairs claiming it was a "maintenance issue". You know, because we all regularly open our drywall to check on our plumbing to make certain nothing is leaking. In any case, I had a company come out to do the water damage cleanup. We had very minimal mold, though I ended up removing significant drywall and an entire layer of underlayment that was all ruined. The disaster cleanup company removed some of the subfloor under a wall and applied appropriate cleaning product to kill off any mold or bacteria. I was not impressed with their "cleanup" as they did not completely remove the underlayment under non-supporting walls, but they removed as much as they could. Ultimately I would recommend making certain that the treatment company is thoroughly removing damaged material, using any appropriate cleaning products to make certain the remaining material (such as joists or subfloor) are free of mold and mildew, thoroughly drying the area before repairs, and making certain the remaining structure is completely solid before rebuilding. Whatever rebuilding is done in your bathroom should be solid work: appropriate waterproofing in the shower and tub area, good underlayment under tile (I highly recommend Ditra). Someone I know recently had nearly complete water damage in their basement and were struggling with what the insurance company would pay to replace. For example, some of their matched bedroom set (master bedroom in the basement) was ruined, but the insurance company would only pay for the damaged pieces regardless of the set being matching. So you need to find out exactly what the insurance company is covering in your bathroom. Will they cover complete tile replacement if only the floor is damaged? I'm sorry that you came home to such a disaster. I hope things work out for you and you're happy with the result. If you have any specific questions about how your bathroom should be rebuilt or what materials to use, I hope you'll come back with your questions. This forum is incredibly helpful and I've learned so much from the experiences shared here. |
Prickly pear is right -- do make sure all damage material is removed and you get everything dry as quickly and completely as possible before anything else happens. Doesn't sound like your situation should be including any mold problems now, and you don't want to start any by sealing up damp moisture. Make sure you know what they will pay for and how much they are going to pay for it so that you don't decide to do some upgrades and then get hit covering more than you expected. Do you have records or samples, photos of what you had? They might help you make a case for what is needed to give you replacement value. |

Reviews for Mozzarella Sticks
Sort By :
"I had no problem with my string cheese oozing. When I first took them out of the oven, the breading was slightly soggy, like one reviewer mentioned. Since my guests were late in arriving, I turned the oven back to 180 to hold, and when I took them out a half hour later they had gotten a nice firm crust like I had fried them. My guests were surprised when I told them I made them. I would give them 5 stars after they crisped up."
"Had high hopes for this. I followed the recipe exactly as directed. I breaded each stick separate and made sure they were coated so no cheese would ooze out while baking. All but one didn't ooze and the breading was very soggy. My cheese loving kids didn't like them. I think it has more potential if deep fried!"
"I was wondering, could you fry these?"
"Not as good as I had hoped-it's not worth making by hand. I'll probably just buy them in future"
"Wonderful flavor! I used mozzarella brick cheese ... and baked in toaster oven. Will use string cheese and conv. oven next time.
Brick cheese melted too much and was a bit heavy. Sometimes experiments don't work! But it's a great recipe if you follow directions!! :)"

Risks for Pregnant Teens
As a pregnant teen-ager, you have a higher risk of:
- Premature labor and/or delivery (going into labor before the baby is fully developed)
- Anemia (low iron levels in your blood)
- Preeclampsia (swelling, high blood pressure and protein in your urine)
- Having a baby with a low birth weight (less than five and a half pounds)
To help prevent these problems for you and your baby, be sure to eat right, get enough calories in your diet, and gain the right amount of weight for your body type. This is not the time to worry about gaining weight. Do not smoke during pregnancy. Also, be sure to avoid alcohol and illegal drugs, and don't take over-the-counter medications unless you have discussed them first with your health care provider. Keep all of the regular checkups with your doctor, so he or she can make sure things are progressing well for you and the baby. It is important to know that you and your baby are growing normally.
Premature Labor
Labor that starts before your 37th week of pregnancy (three weeks before your due date) is called premature or early labor. It's important to know the signs of premature labor. Most babies born prematurely do well, but sometimes they have problems that can last for life, such as cerebral palsy or learning problems. Getting regular checkups, not smoking while you're pregnant, and letting your health care provider know if any of the following signs of labor are happening are the most important things you can do to help prevent having a premature baby. Call your doctor or health clinic right away if you have any of the following during your pregnancy:
- Contractions: four or more in one hour, with or without pain
- Low, dull backache, pressure or pain
- Period-like cramps
- Pressure in your pelvis that feels like the baby is pushing down
- Cramps in your intestines, with or without diarrhea
- Discharge from your vagina: any change from your usual discharge, especially if thick, watery or bloody
- Decreased movements of the baby; if the baby seems to be moving less and you feel less than 10 movements in a 12-hour period
Preeclampsia (also called toxemia or pregnancy-related hypertension) is the development of swelling, high blood pressure and protein in your urine during pregnancy. Pregnant teens have a greater chance of developing preeclampsia during their pregnancy. Symptoms include:
- Swelling of the hands or face when you get up in the morning
- Quick weight gain (more than two pounds per week)
- Headaches
- Having less urine when you go to the bathroom
- Feeling sick and/or throwing up
- High blood pressure
- Changes in your eyesight (flashing lights in your eyes)
- Pain in your lower belly
Though some swelling of the feet and ankles is normal during pregnancy, call your doctor if you notice swelling in your face or hands.
Low Birth Weight Babies
Teen mothers are much more likely to have low birth weight babies, which can result in serious medical problems, including underdeveloped organs leading to lung, vision, intestinal and other problems.
Smoking during pregnancy is the most common reason for a low birth weight baby and is one one of several habits that you need to control. Not eating right, not gaining enough weight and not taking regular multivitamins are some other reasons teen mothers have low birth weight babies. Drinking alcohol and taking certain drugs during pregnancy can also result in a low birth weight baby.

Press Release From the Office of State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
For Immediate Release May 13, 2013 Contact: Van de Putte: Lee Nichols, 512-463-0126
(Austin) — On Monday, May 13, the Texas Senate passed House Bill 740, a bill that adds Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) to the list of disorders newborn Texans are screened for under the authority of the Department of State Health Services.
On the Senate floor, Senator Bob Deuell of Greenville amended the bill to be renamed the Taryn Kennedy, Nash Sievers, and Rex Van de Putte Act.
Nash and Taryn both died as infants from undiagnosed CCHD. Rex was the sixth grandchild of Senator Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio. Rex passed away on May 7 at the age of five months, cause unknown.
"I am so deeply moved by this gesture from my colleague and friend, Dr. Bob Deuell," said Senator Van de Putte. "It was so hard losing Rex so soon, but our family is comforted knowing that his memory, and the memories of Taryn and Nash, will live on in a law that will save babies' lives in the future."
If the House concurs with the amendment, HB 740 will go to Governor Perry for his signature.

COOS COUNTY, Ore. — A fire in Coos County has large numbers of firefighters on scene despite a relatively small size.
The Jimmy Creek Fire, burning off Highway 38, is only 15 acres and evacuation notices are not currently in place for people living in the area.
Despite that, a large amount of personnel and resources have been sent to battle the blaze, including 80 firefighters and two helicopters.
Fire officials say the additional resources are needed because of the extremely steep and rough terrain.

"Indie cred"? you gotta be shittin me…what'd i do for "Indie cred"? sip lattes at starbucks and ironically make fun of everyone for the gay music they listen to? indie music is terrible, no substance, no compession, and no heart. so go fuck yourself and get a grip on what music really is or go back to your old highschool and get slapped around some more you fuckin lame
Less Bright Eyes more Deicide!!!! I hate indie queer rock and I must say; being unbiased this douche sounds exactly like the douche behind a Postal Service and Death Cab. Some asshole convinced me that this guy and Death Cab were both punk and i bought both albums. Needless to say I went back to the record store, found where he lived and slapped his mom for birthing such a bitch. Why would anyone listen to this horseshit when there are people out there actually making music? A keyboard and samples doesn't make you a musician. It makes you the fag that brings an acoustic guitar to parties trying to serenade all the girls, but guess what…they will end up in the back seat of my car by the end of the night while your stuck with the broken down lunatics. Try listening to some REAL music like A Wilhelm Scream or NoFX. Indie lames
