The DyingI take my last few breaths before I'm gone for good. His voice right there, next to me. The love I'm going to lose. As tears ran down our faces, we remembered there's no going back now. As our lips meet for the first, my heart burns into pieces. He says to me "don't leave me" with the tears coming his fast. So slow, at the right speed. I remember how much I love him. Why I did this, because we would never be together, because we can't. "I wish, but I- I can't." I say softly into his ear. "no you'll make it, just wait please! I love you!" he says looking into my eyes. "I'm bleeding out fast and no way to recover now. From the moment I saw you, I new you were for me. Please don't cry, don't waste your time on me. I'll be gone within 3 minutes. You have your life, a son and a wife that love you. I'm just one student who couldn't bare the pain of not having you." I say with barely any voice. "I love you but I loved you to much that took my life. Good my true love." I kissed him one last ti
Dear Mr.Dear Mr.I love youI will miss youI will never forget youYou have made me laugh, CryYou would always make my dayYou made memories that I will remember for all my lifeAnd always made me hyperventilateYour jokes, some of the funniest I have ever herdThe lessons we've hadThose small moments aloneSighs of love for meI always would want to jump youEven though your marriedYou would look so sexy some daysOthers I just wanted to cuddle up with you in your officeI loved talking to youI would get nervesBut I'd try to laugh it offYou would always calm me downI loved showing youMy star wars booksI loved it when you would say nerdy thingI would always smileAlthough I am moving onI will never ever forget you no matter whatI will always love yougood bye Mr.
Love Will BeI'm in pain, I suffer everydayPeople tell it will be fineYou just need some loveNo I tell them slowly as I whisper in their earLove will be the end meLove is why I am hereDying with breath, every thoughtLove will destroy me like no one elseLove will beThe ground I lay died onThe one who will see me diedAs it sees my soul drain off of my eyesI will remember the was loveThey say love keeps you together foreverWell love breaks me apart
Death by LoveAs I wonder how it would have felt. I left wondering. It kills me not knowing. I wanted to feel his body against mine. His chest touching mine. Our heart beating together. My arms wrapped around his body. We would have stood there forever. In my mind it would have been heaven. My life would have felt complete. I would whispered in to his ear and said "You smell nice." He probably would have smile and laughed a bit.These tears that run down my face. That fall to their death as they hit the floor. they come out for the man who stole my heart. I lean against the window ledge with my eye's closed. My mouth, buried in my crossed arms. The gentle patter of the rain. These thoughts through my head. The visions of pain and death. Things I could have done to my self. Ending the pain of love. Ending the beat that slowly will die. my breath cold and slow. I open my eyes to look up at the sky. Clouds coving the beautiful sun that gives us the heat we need.My body was weak, cold and mo
BuringI cry for your love,As I burn inside knowing you'll never know.I love you, but you will never love me.Only in my fantasy.I dream of getting married,Seeing you at the end,With your glasses.That smile and good looks.Knowing that some one else is with you,And that ring on your left hand burns me.I'll hear you, see you,But never touch.I love your voice,How its just one.Like no one else's.Just like your smile.You brighten my day.When you look at me for a second,It feels like a year to me.Hopefully you'll see one day I'm the one for you.
California BreezeI can feel it nowThe breeze on the beachThe beautiful sunsetThe warm airHow relax you are in your beach chairThe sounds of the oceanSmiles of happinessTake it all in before it gonePlaying your favorite songRollerblading, skateboarding, surfboardingThe palm trees that are sky highOh California
Can't You SeeCan't you see were fadingIt wont last long anymoreWhy can't we be like beforeWhen we would say the best thingsCan't you see the cracks are getting to bigWe'll fall right throughWe are to far way knowWont be to long before we're to farThe holes are getting bigger and biggerYou can't see it but we'll be over before you know itI'm sorry about the sad ending but we'll be better this wayCan't you see I think its over
YouYou make me smile.I can't stop thinking of you.I wait for you like a dog and his owner.I'd tell you everything.I trust you,Your jokes bring joy,Your voice,So calm and gentle.When I close my eyes, I see you.When I'm down,You bring me up.You tell me I'm pretty, gorgeous and even beautiful.Your handsome, smart, charming.No matter what, you'll be there For me.Your so sweet,I hope we'll be together for ever.
Stupid WitchesWitches are everywhereThey try and dictate words, movement and thoughtsThey walk as if they are immortalStupid witches.They speak to people with such "power"They try to control allAnd they believe everyone is under their spellStupid witches.You think you can tame all?You think we are your minions?You think you can get us to just drop everything and do it your way?Stupid witches.Let me tell you thisI am not your minion, your follower, your plasic modelNo, I wont ever be that, want to know why?Because you're a stupid witch.
Lovely Deadly SicknessShall I join you when you leaveShall I die along sideShall I cease to breatheAt the right hour shall I dieI still hear your words echoing through my headThey will forever haunt my mindThose sickening words you saidThat one killing lineShall I hold your handUntil it becomes coldShall I bury you in this landJust waiting to grow oldI don't want to watch you dieI don't want you to get sickYou promised forever, yet clearly liedAnd I can't deal with thisShall we spend eternityTogether in hellDon't you want to be with meUntil the last tolling bellThis world leaves me lonelyThis world breeds my hateCan't you see the fine line of destinyThe destructive plans of fateWe were pulled together by some forceOnly gravity can rip us apartWe were pushed into the same courtAnd I owe you my heartWith the words you throw aroundThe words you choose to sayI feel as if I may drownAnd this be our last dayBlood is seeping through the bandageLove
Love LetterYou are re-creating the word love for meI have never felt anything in my heart so deepI'm so in love that I'll never be the sameI just want to be with you every single dayYou have touched my heart in many different waysAnd now from my heart you'll never go awayI feel so warm every time you're here,I feel so cold whenever you disappearThough it feels like you are already mineWho knows if that's real, who know if it's a lie?I just think about you every single timeEvery time I write, and when I close my eyesBut I'm just waiting for that special dayFor when you finally say, yes
Friends...Friends sometimes will hurt you,tear you apartand you won't have a clueof where the blowhas come from.They may tell they're rightand that, again,you are wrong.Friends, sometimes,are not what they seem.Actuallythey can be quite mean.Who's the one to blame?It's that old story,another argument...That's so lame!Our way...a dirty street, a dead end.Who would have knownthat this is whatI'd call a friend?We may cry,complain, feel doubts...You never know when it comes,but be ready for the blow.Is it the end?No,but you're losing a friend.
Is this Really You?Your happinessIs due to my sadnessSeeing me sadMakes you gladYour heart is so coldAnd you only know howTo act bold,That is how the story will be told.
FragilityHer bonesAre made of bullet-proofGlass,Latticed with cracksAnd held togetherBy the darkening memoriesFrom a thousand livesUnlived.Slowly, sheIs splintering.Slips of paper-The words she is supposedTo be able to say-Turn to dust against her teethAnd float harmlesslyBetween her ribs.Blind eye socketsDrift across her formIn the mirror,Searching for somethingThat is lessHollowAnd transparent.Each evening,Her vertebrae fall apart,Scattering,One by one,Across the floorAnd she follows soon after.MaybeTomorrow,She willBe able to stomachPicking them up again.And, this time,Nail them togetherWith something more meaningfulThan yesterday's sunrise.
The AuthorWriters paint pictures that painters can't.
Could it be...Could it beThat the clues I leaveAre really just holesJust emptying my soulCould it beThat no one can seeThe pictures I drawOf the things I sawCould it be thatI write things people forgetAnd the things I sayAre forgotten within a dayCould it be thatPeople regretReading the things I writeAnd I just don't know it yetCould it beYou can't understand meAnd all my dreamsAren't possible in this realityCould it beThat I don't know myselfThat I can't actually ever sayWhat I want to sayCould it beThat you are all deafAnd there is no reason leftTo go on with me and continue talkingCould it beThat I just don't knowAnd I'll never know if I keep goingAnd that the taps of my feet just stoppedCould it beThat I can't go onCan't move forward without my soulAnd the words I can't seem to get acrossCould it beThat I don't really want you to seeSo I put up a veil of pretty wordsSo that you'll leave me be and forget I ever left you something to read?
Welcome To HellI'm dead now,And it's my time,To be cast into the dark hole,Which leads to hell,I smell the smoke,As I fall,Into the flaming pits of hell,My life of sin,Just wasn't forgiven,When I shut my eyes for good,I didn't here chimes,I heard,I never knew you,And I slipped off the edge and began my fall.The dead walks,There are no graves,Lost an forgotten,Entwined with ugly green vines,I see the evil I feel the heat,I may not be glad to be here,But my life had landed me here,Too late to change anything,There is no heath,Just burning ground,Time to burrow in the hot coals,And be burnt alive,No more dawns for me,Hell fire, is all I will see,For eternity.
What If?What if everything you had ever heard or seenwasn't a memory, but a dream?What if everything you've grown to love and knowis some elaborate type of show?What if your whole existence was a lie?Would you rather live on or just die?What if you've been forever taking the perfect drug,and it's got you wrapped in the perfect hug,a cushion of understanding and emotionall administered through the perfect potion?Would anything matter if nothing was true?What if it wasn't, would I matter to you?
I'm in loveI'm in love with my orchestra teacher, in tears for his love. My heart burning for him. The ring just like a wall. He keeps me happy. A kiss is all I want from my true love. Bleeding on the in side, but next time it will be the end of a knife. For my last breath I shall tell him I love him. Steal a kiss and forever lay there in peace

Bruce ready for Valencia exit
20 May 2009 - 13:54:46
Wigan Athletic manager Steve Bruce has admitted that star winger Luis Antonio Valencia is certain to leave the club this summer.
The 23-year-old Ecuador international has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid and Bruce accepts that the South American will be playing his football elsewhere next season.
He told the Evening Post: "It's inevitable that the lad will be leaving in the summer as there are clubs queuing up, jostling for position.
"I won't lie to fans about that. Of course I would love to keep him, but it's going to be impossible for that to happen.
"I'm not sure how far things have gone yet, but there have been phone calls and people asking to be kept informed.
"I leave that side of things to the powers-that-be, but to be fair to (chief executive) Brenda Spencer and (general manager) John Benson, they always respect my decision on things like this.
"Where Antonio will end up, I really couldn't say.
"I have only worked with the kid for 18 months, but he has got a special talent. He's a very good player.
"He can only get better. I think he's got all the traits of a modern top footballer - he's powerful, has plenty of pace and puts a shift in.
"He's a tough lad and has age on his side. He doesn't turn 24 until the summer."

Fair : Art
Parcours Bruneaf XXIII: Brussels Non-European Art Fair
- Opening periods
- Event planned for the month of June 2015
Dates and programme may be subject to change - Event planned for the month of June 2015
- Address:
Place du Sablon
1000 BRUXELLES - MAPS: Google Maps
This is one of the most important events of non-European art, covering very different areas. Keep your eyes peeled in Brussels from 5 to 9 June 2013.
You'll find African as well as Australian aboriginal, Indonesian, Pre-Columbian or even Asian art:
- Sculptures,
- masks,
- fetiches,
- weapons,
- jewellery,
- coins,
- fabric,
- traditional objects crafted by these peoples for their own use,
- wood and metal,
- gold, silver, bronze, ivory and terracotta.
The International fair of non-European arts was conceived 20 years ago and continues to gather refined connoisseurs around the Sablon area.
The objects showcased are for ritual or domestic use, a combination of functionality and beauty.
By inviting a growing number of foreign galleries, the festival aims to present the best of Asian, pre-Colombian, Australasian or African arts.
It has become a reference for collectors, who hop from one gallery to another, a glass of champagne in hand, to discover the refinement of these distant worlds and the light-hearted atmosphere of the Sablon terraces.
Tram 92, 94 (Petit Sablon).

ADVISORY: Income Support for Children with Disabilities: Moving Towards Reforms That Work
Contact: Madeline Meth
Phone: 202.741.6277
Email: email@example.com
Washington, D.C. — On Monday, September 10 the Center for American Progress will host an event to discuss the challenges experienced by the families of children with disabilities.
This year the United States celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Supplemental Security Income program, which provides income support to people with disabilities, including 1.3 million children. For families the program is a lifesaver that allows for greater economic security as they provide family-centered care for their children. Despite its tremendous value, conservatives are targeting the program for reforms, some of which mirror what was done to programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. It is clear that this isn't the way to go. The Children's Supplemental Security Income program would benefit from some reforms, but ones that improve outreach to qualifying families, target resources to those most in need, and facilitate successful work outcomes.
Introduction by:
Joy Moses, Senior Policy Analyst, Center for American Progress
Featured Panelists:
Dennis Hogan, Professor, Brown University; author, Family Consequences of Children's Disabilities
Susan Parish, Director, Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University
LaDonna Pavetti, Vice President for Family Income Support Policy, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Rebecca Vallas, Attorney, Community Legal Services of Philadelphia
Moderated by:
Shawn Fremstad, Attorney, Center for Economic and Policy Research
September 10, 2012
12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.
A light lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m.

I like this look! Great job!
I would like to customize my recomended items. Thats a general wish.
Frightened Toast
Senior Member
Some suggestions. Your thoughts, Riot? 1) Drag and drop of items into the recommended list. Saves to disk when changed. 2) Ability to add more than 6 items to the recommended list while in-game. Gives us a wider preselected variety to choose from. A very convenient optional addition. 3) A short time frame (3, 4, 5 seconds?) to refund an item. Already answered this, but another +1 regardless. 4) Ability to click on the edge of the shop corners to rescale it. Ability to shrink the size of the window be awesome. 5) Transparency of the window. 6) Filter support in a configuration file. ex: [CustomFilters], "VYROX"=1055,3098,1057. Thus typing VYROX in the filter would list the items associated with those 4 digit item codes.
Customizable recommended please.
Would love the ability to get rid of the preset recommended items and replace them with what we normally build on each champ.
I think it's fine as long as they allow the option to keep the old one.
Feels a bit crowded, eh?

text: "Though most adolescents who come out do so in high school, sex researchers and counselors say that middle-school students are increasingly coming out to friends or family or to an adult in school. Just how they're faring in a world that wasn't expecting them — and that isn't so sure a 12-year-old can know if he's gay — is a complicated question that defies simple geographical explanations. Though gay kids in the South and in rural areas tend to have a harder time than those on the coasts, I met gay youth who were doing well in socially conservative areas like Tulsa and others in progressive cities who were afraid to come out."

(SCI) ECON 3700 10 Economics of Development ENGL 3500 01 Contexts: Nature's Nation At the end of The Great Gatsby, the narrator (Nick Carraway) looks out over the Sound and imagines what the Dutch sailors who first colonized New York must have seen: "a fresh, green breast of the new world . . . [that] pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams": that here, in the New World, they had found a place that could actually live up to the human capacity for wonder and ambition. In other words, Nick is suggesting that the American dream that Gatsby pursued originally sprang from the European encounter with the unspoiled, unknown nature of the continent itself. GNST 1300 01Technology, Science and Society: Introduction to Environmental Studies Learning more about the environmental challenges facing us in the 21st century can seem overwhelming and depressing. However, there's another way to look at it: college students today have an unprecedented opportunity to help us make the transition to a more sustainable, healthier, and happier way of life by taking creative, socially just approaches to problems like global climate change, reliance on fossil fuels, and human population growth.

As many of our faithful readers are already aware, we here at LA Angels Insider have been doing a series of player profiles on your 2013 Los Angeles Angels. The series has run for nine days so far. Nine players have been profiled. How fitting that Vernon Wells is number ten.
Why do you ask? Well, it's funny really. Not only does the 34-year-old outfielder proudly wear the number "10" on his back, he does so – presumably – as the tenth offensive player in a sport where there are only nine starters. To put it bluntly, Wells is the tenth man. The extra. The odd man out. Or is he?
From Cowboy to Canuck.
Vernon Wells was born in Shreveport, LA, but raised in Arlington, TX not far from the ballpark that the division-rival Texas Rangers now call their home. As a small child, Wells wore cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat and wrastled snakes down by the waterin' hole just for the hell of it*. Wells attended James Bowie High School where he excelled as a multi-sport athlete: playing both quarterback and outfielder for the Bowie Volunteers. Our good friend Wikipedia tells us Wells hit .565 with 7 HR and 20 RBI during his senior year and wound up signing a letter of intent to play baseball and football for the University of Texas at Austin. The soft-spoken cowboy from down Louisiana-way was set to become a Texas sports superstar. But Vernon Wells would never make it to college. He wouldn't suit up as a wide receiver or step into the batters box for the Texas Longhorns. Instead, Wells would be selected fifth overall in the 1997 amateur draft. By the Toronto Blue Jays. And, as you all know, nothing says Texas quite like Canada!
Wells played his first minor league season for the St. Catherines Stompers at the ripe old age of eighteen. In 66 games, he hit .306/.377/.504 with 10 HR and 31 RBI for the St. Catherines, Ontario-based Blue Jays affiliate. Over the next four years, Wells split his time between the Hagerstown Suns, Dunedin Blue Jays, Knoxville Smokies, and Syracuse SkyChiefs where he hit a combined .300/.359/.476 with 57 HR and 264 RBI. He got his first shot at major league play as a late season call-up for the Blue Jays in 1999 when he hit .261 in 24 games with a HR, 8 RBI, and 5 doubles in 92 plate appearances. Following his performance, Baseball America named Wells the #4 prospect in all of baseball going into the 2000 season. He spent the majority of 2000 and 2001 with the SkyChiefs before being called back up to Toronto when the rosters expanded each September. Wells made the leap to the big leagues for good in 2002 when he served as an everyday outfielder for the Blue Jays. In 159 games, the rookie hit .275/.305/.457 with 23 HR and 100 RBI.
2003 was a career year for Vernon Wells. Clearly avoiding the sophomore slump, Wells hit .317/.359/.550 with career highs in HR (33), RBI (117), hits (215), and doubles (49). He was named to the A.L. All-Star team and received the Silver Slugger award. Wells was clearly turning out to be the player Baseball America had envisioned. Over the next three years in Toronto, Wells hit .282/.338/.493 with 83 HR, 270 RBI, and 104 doubles. He received three consecutive Gold Gloves and was once again named to the All-Star team in 2006. And then the Blue Jays decided to give him a 7-year, $126 million contract. (Backloaded, mind you. But we'll get to that later.)
How "The $126MM Man" Came to be an Angel.
The year after receiving quite possibly the worst contract in the history of baseball, Wells managed to hit only .245 with 16 HR: his lowest totals since becoming an everyday player. During his last four years in Toronto, Wells hit .267/.321/.450 with 82 HR and 312 RBI. Compared to his first three season with the Blue Jays, Wells was averaging 8 less HR, 19 less RBI, and 27 less hits per season. So, what do you do with an overpaid player whose skills seem to be fading fast? You trade him to the first sucker who comes along. Enter: Tony Reagins.
After dropping the ball on Carl Crawford and balking at Adrian Beltre, Reagins hit the panic button on the 2011 off-season. On January 21, 2011, Wells was traded to the Angels for outfielder Juan Rivera and catcher Mike Napoli (who was almost immediately flipped to the Texas Rangers for relief pitcher Frank Francisco). It was a move that many believe hurt the Angels roster. Wells began his first season as a Halo hitting .183/.224/.303 with 4 HR, 13 RBI, and just 26 hits in 142 plate appearances by the All-Star Break. Things didn't get much better for the new Angels outfielder who ended the year with career lows in AVG (.218), OBP (.248), and RBI (66). Halo fans everywhere were disappointed. And rightfully so. Here was a guy who was pulling in an average of $18 million a year and couldn't even manage to hit his weight!
The general consensus was to trade him or bench, but neither choice seemed to be a plausible option. No team was crazy enough to take on a declining veteran with $63 million dollars still owed to him over the next three years. (Unless, maybe, Tony Reagins is running a team out there somewhere.) And the Angels brass clearly didn't feel comfortable benching a player to whom they were paying $21 million per year. So, whether they liked it or not, Halo fans were stuck with Vernon Wells in left field for the 2012 season. And like it, they did not. Wells was hitting .244/.282/.422 on May 20, 2012 when he injured his thumb sliding into second base during a game against the Padres. The injury would require surgery and, much to the delight of frustrated Angel fans, Wells was forced to miss over two months of the season. When he returned, it became apparent that his playing time was somewhat limited as sophomore powerhouse Mark Trumbo had become something of a fixture in left field. Wells ended the season hitting just .230/.279/.403 with 11 HR and 29 RBI in an injury-shortened season when he played a career-low 77 games.
What to Expect in 2013.
Vernon Wells will clearly come into camp with something to prove this spring. The Angels' acquisition of free agent slugger Josh Hamilton presumably sets the outfield as follows: Mike Trout in left field, Peter Bourjos in center field, and Hamilton in right field. Where does that leave Vernon? I believe the correct phrase is "riding the pine." Without a miraculous performance during Spring Training and barring an unforeseen injury to the projected Angels line-up, Wells will undoubtedly find himself the odd man out once again. Just like last season when an abundance of outfielders – Trout, Hunter, Bourjos, Trumbo, even Kole Calhoun – led to Wells losing playing time, the stars don't seem to be lining up in Vernon's favor for the 2013 season.
But let's never discount the stubbornness of one Michael Lorri Scioscia. Time after time, the Angels' skipper has shown a sense of loyalty, compassion, and almost aggravating patience with his veteran players. As recent as last season, fans saw Scioscia continuously go to struggling former-greats like Bobby Abreu and Jason Isringhausen when more plausible options seemed quite easily and readily accessible (i.e. Mike Trout and Nick Maronde). Scioscia has had this type of relationship with Wells in past. How else would the declining veteran manage to rack up 131 games and 529 plate appearances in a season when he hit just .218?
I don't want to start any problems here. I'm just saying don't be surprised if Bourjos gets off to a slow start and, much like Reagins two years ago, Scioscia hits the panic button and calls on Vernon Wells. It wouldn't be out of character for the skipper. Still, I can't help but think it would be the wrong move to make. Bourjos needs playing time to improve his game. He needs experience to grow and mature as a player. He won't get that by watching from the bench. (We all remember what happened with Reggie Willits.)
Bottom line: the Angels are stuck with Wells, his crappy numbers, and his outlandish contract. The realists have accepted that fact long ago. He's not going anywhere. He'll sit back and collect his money and take whatever playing time he can get over his next two years in Anaheim before riding off into the sunset. The only thing to do now is root for Bourjos to succeed. Because I don't think Angel fans can handle another season of Wells as an everyday outfielder. And I know Scioscia is just itching to hit that panic button.

Mommy's Magic Bottle
January 10, 2015Made a new friend tonight, his name is Brian. He came over for a drink and got a little bit more than he bargained for… I slipped him a little something from my magic bottle that made him regress to toddler age. He got a little woozy at first, and all of a sudden, he couldn't talk, couldn't walk, or control his bodily functions…
Normally I wouldn't be able to overpower him, but I took advantage of his inebriated state, and was able to take off his clothes and diaper him. With a little bit of maneuvering, I pulled his pants, as well as his boxers down over his strong legs, exposing his manhood to me. I then lifted his feet onto my shoulder, sliding a soft, clean diaper under his firm bottom, and powdered him well.
All the while I was cooing to him, telling him what his life would be like as my precious baby boy, being diapered and fed by me, and how I was going to be the one in complete control now. Of course I would have to make sure I gave him his dose from my magic bottle in regular intervals, lest the effects wear off and he might be able to escape….or even worse – turn the tables on me…hmmmmm…
Call me tonight to see what kind of surprises mommy has in store for YOU… I'll be waiting. XOXO

Sissy Gets a Helping Hand
November 15, 2014I simply love it when sissies come to me, all shy like, asking for my help. You see, they really want to make Daddy happy, and they know that Mommy knows all those little tricks that will make their Daddy happy and content. First I help them find the perfect little sissy outfit: from that frilly sissy dress and matching rhumba panties with just the right petticoat, to deciding between anklet socks and tights with ruffles on their little tushie.
After we pick out the perfect little sissy outfit, it's on to hair and makeup. A big satin ribbon in their hair is always crowd pleaser, as well as shimmering banana curls. Makeup should be minimalistic in appearance, using a palette of pinks and roses. Let's not forget the nails – sissies should always be well manicured, as well as pedicured.
Then it's all about their mannerisms: how to be coy and demur for their Daddy; how to sashay and twirl and curtsey for him, letting him take in every inch of his sweet sissy that is so eager to please. And of course, how to look at their Daddy as if he is the only person in the world.
Once we've put all these things together, we go and show Daddy how adorable they look. Naturally Daddy is pleased at all the effort his sissy has made to make him happy. I then help teach them about Daddy's body – how to touch him the way daddy likes, how to make Daddy feel so very good.
Do you want Mommy to take your hand and teach you? I do hope so. Give me a call and we'll look and see what pretty things Mommy can put your into.

Spanking Phone Sex
September 20, 2014Come here little boy, you know I told you if you continued to misbehave that Mommy was going to have to spank you. It's time for your phone sex spanking session with Mommy Scarlet. No matter how much you beg or plead, there is no way you will get out of it either. I am going to put you right across my knee and make that bottom of yours nice and red. Of course you will have to take down your pants and even your underwear – you know that spankings only counts when it's on your bare behind. Mommy knows what you need and I know how to give it to you… a bare bottom over the knee spanking is just what it takes to teach you your lessons.
Spankings can take many forms, in addition to OTK spankings (over the knee), I might have you bent over the ottoman, or bound to a cross to spank and flog your entire back. I may use my bare hand, a paddle, a crop or even a cane. I simply adore all forms of corporal punishment phone sex, so there is nothing off limits with me.
Nothing like a bottom all reddened for my pleasure and your punishment.

Out of Control ABie
July 26, 2014I had a very naughty abie to tend to today. Oh my goodness. He was left with a sitter and decided to be as mischievous as possible. I told him that IF he could be good for he would get a story at the end of the night. Miss Samantha even brought over his favorite book from her house. Did he behave? No.
Then after a fit, and one problem after another he had the nerve to demand a story – silly, silly belligerent baby. He has never treated her that way before. I think he was just itching to see what Mommy would do to him. Miss Samantha called me.
I got him on the phone and said, "I will call when I am nearly home. When that happens I expect you to be in the corner, where I am sending you now."
So I got home, put up my things, and called for him. I got my hairbrush and tore that sassy bottom all up. Miss Samantha was shocked to see him spanked to tears. I think she felt a little bad for the stinker. I was so embarrassed though, at how he acted.
I had him sit on that special punishment stool. The one with prickles for spanked bums. He had to sit there and write an apology to Miss Samantha and then a write off for Mommy. He had to write lines for a while.
Once all was done, I hugged him, talked to him, and he went to bed. I know today at work though he is well reminded of what Mommy will do to him.

Anal Training Day
May 31, 2014Mommy has had you removing the hair from your clit area for a while now. You whined and cried about it, but that was put to a stopped right quick with a thick gag, a much needed paddling, and much to your surprise, a thick slathering of BenGay over said area whilst you were firmly restrained. But now I think its time to turn things up a notch …by waxing your sissy pussy area. And yes, I'm talking about getting my sissy's fuck hole waxed clean and smooth as glass. Your cries and whimpers fall on deaf ears, and naturally I have you tied and restrained to reduce the squirming and shut down any urges to jump up and run. When all is said and done, and you're smooth as a piglet's ass, you think you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Silly sissy!
That's when Mommy's girlfriends come over to assist her.
The next thing you know you're being strapped to the changing table and you see the enema bag above your head. You see, sissy whores getting ready to undergo anal training must be cleaned once they've been waxed. Your legs are pushed up and your ass open wide for all of my friends to see. I tell you to relax as the nozzle is inserted into your ass. It's not so bad since you've been getting enemas regularly ever since I took you in as my sissy diapered slave. You feel the familiar feeling of the enema doing its work.
Once you've been unbound from the changing table though, you notice Mommy and her friends are all nude except for their panties. Ordinarily this would be a sight you would enjoy. Unfortunately this time, over the top of our panties we each have strap on dildos of varying lengths and girth. Now you're bound over the spanking bench with your freshly waxed cleaned sissy pussy up wide and high for all to see, and use. We discuss among ourselves how much we think you can take.
Anal training starts today.

Awakening of a Sissy: Part Three
February 7, 2014Previously, from Awakening of a Sissy: Part Two…
Sylvia told the baby to get up and assisted him in climbing into his crib. She smiled at him as she locked the door behind him. "No story tonight, you disobeyed Nanny" she said as she blew him a kiss and walked out.
…the story continues…
A Sitter for the Sissy
Jake tried to go to sleep, but his mind was racing. Who did this Sylvia lady think she was? Why was he so incredibly turned on by the way she treated him? He had longed for this for sometime. Now that it had actually become a reality though he was terrified. He suddenly realized that he could hear his mother and Nanny Sylvia talking in the next room.
"I will have to take a short leave of absence next month for a previously scheduled appointment in Paris." He heard Sylvia say. He got excited thinking things might go back to normal for that time.
"We'll have to start interviewing sitters immediately." His mother responded. "I don't want just anyone involved in Jackie's care."
Jackie??? He thought to himself. She is already referring to me as a female, as a girl. Jake was amazed at the series of events that had taken place. Soon though he was drifting of to sleep.
Jake woke up to the sound of voices the next morning. It seemed Nanny Sylvia was on the phone with an associate. From what he gathered the woman's name was Cindy and she had worked with adult babies before.
"Oh I'd love to bring Jackie and his mother by this afternoon." She said cheerfully.
Jake felt his heart sink. He was going to be taken outside of the house with his mother and Nanny dressed as a baby girl. He tried to fight it but the tears came anyway.
"Oh Baby is awake, I will call you before we head for your place, bye for now." she said and hung up. Jake listened to the sound of Nanny Sylvia's heels as she approached. The crying was out of control now.
"What's wrong sweet pea?" she asked him. Jake just stared at her face. How could she not know what was wrong? Everything that was his was taken and he was being turned into a sissy, or a girl. This strange woman was arranging for someone to babysit him in her absence, and he was old enough to have kids of his own. What's wrong??? He thought. What a ridiculous question to ask.
"Jackie, I asked you a question," she said.
"I'm scared," he sniffed. "I don't want to go outside and meet a sitter; I don't want to be a baby girl."
Nanny Sylvia studied his face. Then she reached in to wipe his tears with a cloth diaper. "Well that's too bad Jackie, you will just have to grow to like it," she told him. She walked to his closet to find clothes for him. The Nanny pulled out a thick pastel pink petticoat and laid it on his changing table. He heard the rustling as she came out with a frilly white dress with pink ribbons on it.
He was taken from his crib and over to the changing table. Nanny Sylvia hummed as she changed him and put him in thick cloth diapers. He was surprised this time that the rubber pants were not of the locking variety. He assumed it was because they would be close by. Once he was dressed in his layers of ruffles, he was put in thick white tights and white patent leather Mary Janes. When he looked at himself in the nursery mirror he was shocked at how girlish and babyish he looked.
His Nanny presented him to his mother and they left the house to meet his potential sitter, Cindy.
…to be continued…
Awakening of a Sissy: Part Two
January 10, 2014Previously, from Awakening of a Sissy: Part One…
"Oh but you are a sissy baby, Jakey you are. " Sylvia said as she rubbed his shoulders. "Now it's time for me to show you where you will be staying from now on." She said.
…the story continues…
The Darling Nursery
Sylvia took Jake by the restraints and walked him to his mother's 'library'. "I don't believe you have been in here in quite some times have you angel?" she asked. Jake shook his head no slowly.
As Sylvia opened the door Jake was amazed. The rows of bookcases had been replaced by larger sized baby furniture. In place of his mother's reading chair was a glider rocker. Soon his eyes moved across the room to the crib in the corner. It had a locking door and high sides. Above the crib hung a beautiful mobile playing soft music.
"Jakey, on the changing table little one," Sylvia said. He looked at her sadly but climbed up on the table. Sylvia pulled his panties down and tossed them into a laundry basket. She hummed to herself as she carefully folded a cloth diaper and slid it under his hips. Jake watched in horror as she reached down into the compartments on the table and grabbed an interesting pair of plastic panties. They were light pink with lots of white ruffles.Sylvia motioned for Jake to flip over and she snapped something on the panties.
"They're locked in place now Jakey – they will stay in place until your mother or I change you." She told him "Now that bra must come off; you aren't old enough for a bra yet girl." Sylvia unhooked and removed his bra.
After he was diapered and locked into his panties his new nanny helped him from the changing table. He was told that unless told otherwise that he was to crawl. Having reached his limit Jake continued to walk about the nursery.
"There is no use in trying to fight this baby, you are what you are." Nanny told him as she grabbed his wrist. She walked him to the chair and pulled him into her lap. His plastic panties crinkled against the soft fabric of her skirt as she lifted her hand to spank him seven times on his plastic panties and diaper. "Next time, the diaper comes off; the next time after that an instrument will be used, and each time after that it will increase and gain and again." she warned.
Sylvia told the baby to get up and assisted him in climbing into his crib. She smiled at him as she locked the door behind him. "No story tonight, you disobeyed Nanny" she said, as she blew him a kiss and walked out.

Stories from a Sissy Whore
October 18, 2013I talked to the naughtiest diaper wearing sissy boy today. He said he was super open minded – so I made him prove it, and the stories he told me – WOW!
Seems that "Tim" is a very naughty cock loving whore who wears diapers. Not only does he love cock – but he services several of them nearly ever day. He is collared by an older man who uses him and pimps his ass cunt out to other men. Seems he has placed "graffiti" on the walls of several bathrooms in the more seedy establishments around his town advertising his sissy whore's talents.
Men come over and Tim services them with his diaper right on. He has learned to love sucking cock and getting ass fucked so much that he cums in his diaper almost every time! I'm not sure to call him a naughty sissy or a very good sissy, lol.
He wears a collar that says "SISSY" and his owners call him their sissy whore. He greets them at the front door in his diaper, on his knees, with his mouth open and ready. He loves being used for sex and being a nasty diaper loving cum dumpster.
I can't wait to hear more from this sissy whore!
A Punishment Wish: Part II
July 26, 2013…previously, from A Punishment Wish: Part I…
He opened his mouth to talk to her and just garbled his words into baby talk. His arms were flopping around as he tried to point to his pants.
…the story continues…
"My dear sweet husband, love of my life" she said as she smiled at him. "You picked the wrong woman to mess with. I do love you with all of my heart. You brought this on yourself though. I made a wish tonight that you would be unable to stop yourself from wetting your pants. Then I wished that when this happened that your body would react just like a little baby's would. No talking, no walking, no using the toilet, no fucking your girlfriend anymore because you'll find your cock won't stand up. "
David tried to stand up and learned she was right, he was unable to stand up – he was forced to crawl to her. His lips moved rapidly as he tried to apologize, to explain, anything to get her to call this off. Instead tiny spit bubbles formed at the corner of his lips. Jazelle laughed and led him inside and then to the car. She had him sit on a towel and then he saw a diaper bag beside him. "That's for you, well for Nicole more precisely. You remember Nicole, don't you? Your girlfriend you've been banging? Well, if she wants to care for you as a baby I guess you'll know she really loved you after all. If not, she can bring you back to me; I am having a nursery set up as we speak," She informed him.
He just cried; all of that frustration and no way to express it, the tears flew from his eyes. "Yes, that's right, that's what I was hinting at. I'm taking you to Nicole's house and dropping you off." Jazelle said trying not to laugh. "I expect though, after what I have been told, that she will be bringing you home soon."
"David, David, wake up, it's almost 6:30," he heard his wife saying as she shook him gently. He thought to himself what a horrific dream. He hoped to never find out what Jazelle was capable of in real life.
sissy spring
April 9, 2010Now that it is getting warmer I am thinking of all the pretty dresses and things the sissies can be wearing. I have fallen in love with these bandage dresses (like in the picture). They would be cute and tight but with a diaper bulge, perfect. Do you like sun dresses and sheer legs for spring and summer? I've imagined having a sissy retreat where the mommies I know help me feminize boys who need to be more like sissies. Wouldn't that be the most fun sort of retreat?

either one is a good choice and would serve you well. IMO, the 336 has a little smoother action from the get go, but the M94 does loosen up with use. the 336 seems to have a more robust action than the M94, but both have no problem with the 30-30 round. the 336 might be just a liitle more accurate than the M94, but that's subjective at best. see which one feels better when you shoulder it and go from there. see what the price difference is when you get ready to buy, this may be your deciding factor. i just bought a M94ae about a month ago for $260+tax in mint condition and unfired. if i run across a good deal on a 336, i wouldnt hesitate in buying it either.
I lean to marlin for lever guns. More rugged stronger actions.

Consider if you are going to install a scope. Marlin is much more scope friendly than Winchester.
May God make smooth the path you follow!

Mazda Protege5
bluong1 Posts: 1,927OK, I'm convinced now. I cranked the numbers. Combining with the gear ratios on Mazda webpage, the integrated power band tells me that the optimal shift point should be even higher than 6500 rpm (possibly 6700-6800, depending how the torque drops after the largest rpm on your data sheet) and at any gear.
BTW, are you sure the torque at 3000 rpm is 99 ftxlb? It should be around 102 to be consistent with the rest.
Bruno -
dsm6 Posts: 813Those numbers were for the 1.8. The original discussion was with respect to the new sportshift auto. This feature is new to the 02s. If it is an 02, it has the 2.0, not the 1.8. The 2.0, as pointed out above and in a post in the sedan forum, has a different power curve that drops off more steeply toward redline.
bluong1 Posts: 1,927I know, I know. I just assumed that the torque curves of both 1.8 and 2.0l engines are correlated well as the rpms at torque peak and power peak are amazingly similar.
If you know where to find a torque curve of the 2.0l engine, I'll be happy to do the same and post the result.
Bruno -
jstandefer Posts: 805"BTW, are you sure the torque at 3000 rpm is 99 ftxlb? It should be around 102 to be consistent with the rest."
It really is 99 ft-lbs. On the 1.8L engine, you get a big power surge between 3,400-4,000rpm. When I drove the 2.0L, that's the first thing I noticed... no power surge.
You can try this ProtegeClub thread for two different dyno sheets of the 2.0L without mods. You can see the higher torque at lower rpm, but it does fall a lot steeper past the 5,000rpm mark, just as you predicted.
The torque curve on the 2.0L is actually pretty different than the 1.8L. The 2.0L has high low-end and low high-end torque. The 1.8L has a bit less torque, but it's pretty consistent throughout the rev range. Another thing I noticed with these 2.0L dyno sheets is how erratic they are. Both sheets are from seperate cars and different shops. They both bounce up and down, where mine is pretty smooth. Can anyone explain that?
-Jerry -
the_big_h Posts: 1,583you really took your time analyzing all these power data, nice work!
and yes, I can confirm on the 3400-4000 'surge' for the 1.8L that Jerry talks about. That's when it gets fun, even for an automatic
actually, you can feel the surge beginning to ramp up right around 3000, and then by 4000 you're in the back of your seat! -

jstandefer Posts: 805The S-Plan is a special pricing program mainly for Ford Motor Co. (Ford, Mazda, Mercury, Lincoln, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover, etc.) suppliers and partners. The price is set by the manufacturer and is on the vehicle's invoice. The dealer cannot change this price, though he may opt to not sell a vehicle at S-plan pricing. This rarely happens and if it does, it typically happens to a limited vehicle like the Protege MP3 (of which only 1,500 were built).
S-Plan pricing is generally a few hundred dollars below the vehicle's invoice price. However, it varies depending on the vehicle.
You used to be able to join the Experimental Aircraft Association and immediately qualify for the S-plan. However, beginning December 1, 2001, the program has changed and you must be a member for a year before qualifying for the S-plan. For those of you planning on buying a Ford Motor Co. vehicle, it may help to join the EAA for $40 per year so that you save on your next purchase or lease. To see the EAA's special partner program with Ford, click here.

vocus Posts: 7,777It's funny that you mention the EAA, because I joined back in February 2001 to get a good price on the 2001 Protege I bought. I got it for like $263 below the factory invoice. The dealer was really mad, because I was waiting to sell my car and he couldn't let the car that I wanted go because I had already told them to hold it. (This was back when the 2001s first came out, and were pretty scarce.) But it is definitely a good deal, if you are so inclined.
rlenihan Posts: 8I recently test-drove a P5 5-speed and liked just about everything about (price, looks, handling), but I couldn't get over the noise. The performance was OK but to really get any oomph out of the car I had to really wind it up, which caused the engine to whine loudly and irritatingly. It was kind of a like a high-pitched nasally voice crying "not so haaard!!!" (think Joe Besser of the 3 Stooges). Also, when I took it out onto the highway I noticed a lot of noise at cruising speed (70-75 mph), mostly from the engine, although there was a lot of road noise from the tires and wind noise from (I suppose) the roof rack.
Anyway, my question is this -- is this something that diminishes after break-in or do you just have to get used to it? I'm in the market for a small wagon/hatch-back that's fun to drive and around 15K. I really liked the P5 but I'm not sure I could put up with that whining all the time. -
bluong1 Posts: 1,927Engine: occasionally, I also hear more engine noise between 70-75 mph. Running over 80mph or bellow 60mph will produce less noise. It only happens (again occasionally) at few first miles on the road. I found the car is decently quite after warming up correctly. It could be there is a resonance at that specific rpm. I notice that all the cars I own so far (5) have the some sort of resonance noise, the frequency might change, but they all have it (OK, I never own a Mercedes or Roll Roys). Just test drive another P5 and see if you hear the same or not.

bluong1 Posts: 1,927you are welcome. Of course you were correct. I'm very curious myself that is why I do this analysis. These torque curves are extremely useful and tell us much more about the engine than just the maximum hp number alone. Too bad that most of car makers don't give out theses curves anymore. The 2.0l engine has a lot of torque at low end, about 10% more torque than the 1.8l up to 5000rpm. However after 6000 rpm, the 1.8l still have a lot of punch where the 2.0l run out of steam. In fact, for most of us, nothing is new about it. The numbers just prove the observation.

ggilliom Posts: 22Well, I drove a friend's new 5-sp Jetta 1.8T today at lunch, and I experienced the turbo surge that's been discussed. It is amazing. (I'm surprised some of the lousy drivers out there can handle it, actually!)
In my mind, as much as I love the P5 (and will probably still buy one, because it'll be about 4-5K less than a Jetta I'd want), there is no question the Jetta is a much quieter ride. I mean, I could barely hear the engine at any point while zooming up a freeway onramp. Likewise at cruising. The AC at 2 makes far more noise than wind, road, or engine. Frankly, I don't know how they do it. It's like, Camry quiet..you wonder, "is this thing on?"
The P5 can't compete with it in terms of sound dampening. But it definitely can on many other levels (seat comfort, reliability, price, and uniqueness being big ones for me). -
xeones Posts: 12I don't know about the rest of you, but I love the fact that I don't see a P5 beside me at every stop light and intersection.
The Jetta is smaller inside, doesn't have the same handling skill and has boring styling.
Most important of all in my book is the Jetta really isn't much of a value when you look at what little more you get for the big price increase...DON'T FORGET the Jettas we get are born in Mexico.
In my book the only REAL competition for the P5 is the Subi Impreza. You may pay more, but at least you get a bigger engine and 4 wheel drive, albiat with a smaller interior.
Matrix? go drive one they are ok in a straight line. Try some curves and the GM roots come through with the torsen bar rear. Also styling is too close to the Pontiac Aztek.
Just my humble opinion.

scozim Posts: 10I was at the dealer today discussing the P5 I want and he threw out an interesting twist that is real tempting. Said if I wanted they could order up a set of the 17" Racing Hart wheels that were on the MP3 and put them on the P5 with some new rubber. While it may make the ride a little rougher it's got some real appeal. Has anyone gone this route?
pciskowski Posts: 155These seem to be getting worse as time goes on. I guess that is the price for such a firm ride. Has anyone else had/fixed/located the following? I am putting the general location because I haven't been able to find the actual culprits yet. Ashtray, drivers window, front seat belt anchors (both sides), instrument panel. The ashtry and instrument panel seem to buzz when accelerating in 3rd.
shrique Posts: 338Wow that's quite a list. Most of the squeaks and rattles that I had went away quickly or were atributed to things like change and Jewel cases.
In regards to a VW. Nice cars easier ride than the P5 but if you put the VW 2.0L against the P5 the p5 wins every time in my book. If you want a smoother easier highway cruiser that still handles pretty good the VW is a way to go.

Lonny Haschel told CNN. At least three people were in critical condition, said Dr. Paul Pepe, Irving Fire Department's medical director. Because many of the passengers were elderly, medical personnel were monitoring those with even minor injuries closely, said Pepe, who also is chairman of emergency medicine at Dallas' Parkland Memorial Hospital.Dr. Alex Eastman, who treated some patients at Parkland, said they were "in good spirits" and "doing relatively well under the circumstances."Of the 15 people brought to that hospital, four were in critical condition and 11 had non-life-threatening injuries, he said. They ranged in age from 66 to 80, he said.Just WatchedSurvivor recounts Texas bus crashreplayMore Videos ...Survivor recounts Texas bus crash 02:36PLAY VIDEOHaschel said the bus went off the right side of the road, hit a barrier, swerved left across lanes of traffic and struck a concrete median in a grassy area. "It rode up on top of that concrete barrier, and then rolled on its right hand side where it came to rest," Haschel said. It was the only vehicle involved in the crash, he said.Passenger Daniel Risik, 73, of Fort Worth told CNN affiliate KTVT that the bus crashed and then started to shake before turning over on its right side."People were on top of people, screaming, hollering, yelling for help," he said. The bus driver survived and was sent to a hospital, Pepe said.The bus, owned by a Dallas-area charter company, was taking the passengers to Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma, according to the Department of Public Safety.Video from KTVT showed a bus on its side, surrounded by numerous emergency personnel.

- 1 orange
- 3.50 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 2 pound(s) rhubarb, trimmed and sliced
- 1 pound(s) (about 4 cups) strawberries, trimmed and chopped, plus sliced strawberries for garnish
- 4 large egg yolks, room temperature
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup(s) whole milk
- 3 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 3 cup(s) cake flour, not self-rising
- 1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 12 tablespoon(s) butter, no substitutions
- 1.25 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 8 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cup(s) heavy cream, cold
- Squeeze the juice from the orange into a 4-quart saucepan. Stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar and cook on medium-high until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Add the rhubarb and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer the rhubarb to a bowl and cool slightly. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 2 hours. Stir in the chopped strawberries and refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottoms of three 8-inch cake pans and line them with parchment paper. Grease and flour the parchment and sides of the pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, whole eggs, 1/4 cup of the milk, and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla until combined. In a large bowl, with a mixer on low speed, mix the flour, baking powder, remaining 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, and salt; beat in the butter and remaining 3/4 cup of milk on medium-high speed. Add the egg mixture in 3 batches, beating well between additions. Divide the batter evenly among the pans. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes on a wire rack for 10 minutes then, loosen the sides with a knife, and invert the cakes onto a rack to cool completely.
- Place 1 cake on a plate. Strain the liquid from the rhubarb mixture; discard the liquid. Spread half of the rhubarb mixture onto the cake, leaving a 1-inch border. Repeat with the second cake and the remaining rhubarb. Top with the third cake.
- In a large bowl, with a mixer on high, whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla until fluffy. Slowly drizzle in the cream and whisk on high until stiff peaks form.
- Cover the cake with the frosting and garnish with the sliced berries. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap (before garnishing) and refrigerate up to 1 day.

Griner says she's staying for senior year
Posted By John Henderson On April 1, 2012 @ 10:08 am In College Basketball | No Comments
Any male player who dominated the game as 6-foot-8 Brittney Griner dominates the women's would've been gone to the pros after his freshman year. But Griner says she's staying for her senior year next season. Much of it has to do with the WNBA salary cap. No woman is going to get rich in that league.
She says it's due to commitment.
"I'm staying," she said during Saturday's press conference at the Pepsi Center. "I made a commitment. I said I was coming and I'm going to stay here until my time's up. So all the speculations of me leaving early are false. I'm staying here right here at Baylor."
Piped in Baylor coach Kim Mulkey, sitting right next to her: "Could you say that a little louder?"

As parents reviewed the maps outside in the hall, redistricting committee members continued their work inside the cafeteria expressing the advantages and disadvantages of each scenario.
"You really feel that everything we said, VersaTrans tried to incorporate in these maps," said committee member Angie Randles.
Randles said committee members feel scenario one boundaries were the most natural but scenario two split neighborhoods like Wemple Avenue. Scenario three appeared to be the committee's least favorite but in scenario four Randles said only 29 percent of students would have to change schools. Scenario five according to the committee showed the least amount of students having to move from one school to another.
Hamlin said Clarkesville School boundary lines are the same in each scenario and that boundary lines for Slingerlands School changes very little from one scenario to another. All of Haswell Farms students have been moved to Eagle Elementary School with the new scenarios according to Hamlin.
The next two meetings of the redistricting committee will be held Nov. 13 and Nov. 27. The committee is expected to narrow the five choices down to two or three scenarios by December. The Bethlehem school board will make the final decision by the end of this year. More information on the five new redistricting boundary lines for Bethlehem can be found on the school districts website at bcsd.k12.ny.us.

So today I did a no no. I was going about 6 mph over speed limit on the last 2 days of the month sigh.....
Police officer in a GA city I was driving through blue lighted me. He was just doing his job. Said they are enforcing hard today and there are no exceptions. I respected his job and I after all I guess I gave a reason to pull me over. I guess he was in his middle '20s
Anyways...He walked up to my window, the usual, how you doing etc... I was like fantastic and you ? He responded in kind. Told me why he pulled me over, I acknowledged smiling kindly.
He asked me for registration. I keep it in the Center Console, where I store my firearm while driving. I cant stand it digging into my side while driving. Before I opened the center console I told him I have a loaded firearm in my center console and I was going to remove it and place my weapon on my dashboard to access my registration. He said thanks for letting me know and please dont worry about it.
So I got my registration and he did his warrant check etc... no biggie. Of course came back clean. He gave me a ridiculously reduced citation for being kind and nice and for letting him know I was armed, which by the way is not required in the state of GA.
All in all a good encounter with no issues. He didn't even ask to see the firearm once I told him about it.
Of course I still have like a $45.00 or so fine haha but I'm not above the law.

Last I heard, Server 2012 is the same as Windows 8.»www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,24 ··· 5,00.asp
If Microsoft wasn't forcing desktop users to use a mobile interface then these analysts wouldn't have even brought it up. Especially forcing this interface on Server 2012. They could've released Windows 8 with the mobile interface for mobile devices while the traditional desktop interface stays on the desktop with 32-bit and 64-bit apps working on either.Microsoft brought this issue on themselves by overreaching and not truly listening to all their customers...consumers and businesses alike.
They are just setting themselves up for a repeat of XP refusing to die...now it will be Win 7 refusing to die.
"They are not forcing me. I am like many who will be buying a new computer (still on XP Pro) before Windows 8 is released. I will use Windows 7 for the next 5-6 years. I'll be buying a new Dell Ultrasharp 24 inch monitor fairly soon too. I have no desire to mess up a $500 monitor with nasty fingerprints. Microsoft is supporting Win 7 until 2020 so they can go jump in the lake in regards to trying to force Metro on desktop users. They are just setting themselves up for a repeat of XP refusing to die...now it will be Win 7 refusing to die."I have to agree with you 100%. There is no way I will accept Win 8 on a desktop or laptop. I will stick with Win 7 till support ends if necessary, or if I really get desperate, I'll use linux. Forcing Metro on desktop/laptop users is the biggest farce I've ever seen...
I have no desire to mess up a $500 monitor with nasty fingerprints.
I think its a bit of an understatement to suggest that Metro is simply a Start menu replacement. I mean I agree that when I use it I can think of it as such but there are additional menu settings outside of the traditional Start menu that are accessible in Metro mode. I just think its a bit of an oversimplification to think of Metro as an expanded or glorified Start menu. I also fully expect that Microsoft will add even more menus and control panels to Metro in the future making the experience even more enveloping.Anyway, I can deal with Metro (I kind of like it too now) and you can deal with it but clearly many others are either unwilling or unable to adjust to it. Metrosoft, .ummmm I mean Microsoft runs the risk of vilifying Tiles, ummmm I mean Windows and its new Metro interface if it feels like a forced agenda to the user / administrator.Real or not, if the perception is that Metro is an unusable dog then that is what it will be in the minds of the populous. In some cases reality is what people make it. In other words its the perception of reality, not necessarily reality itself that often shape our world.
I see them loading software via pinned taskbar OR desktop icons - that's it.
Why would someone want to run Windows 8 without a touch screen? What would be the point in Metro?
1 recommendation
Dell has not yet made any touch screen monitors and I doubt they will for the Ultrasharps and those are the only monitors I will consider.
I can see having reflective screens and touch ones for tablets, ultrabooks, but for most laptops no and definitely no for desktops.
Keyboard and mouseBecause we have often demonstrated touch interactions with Start and its lineage in the Windows Phone Metro style, many believe that our design is all about touch rather than keyboard and mouse, or even that were putting the phone interface on a PCit is neither.For mouse people, the position of the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows 8 makes it an easy click-target (even in a full-screen app). Once in Start, more items are directly accessible to the mouse without scrolling or opening menu flyouts. For keyboard people, pinning frequently used desktop apps on the desktop taskbar enables instant shortcuts: Win+1, Win+2, etc. And, getting to less frequently used apps through search follows the existing paradigm of hitting the Windows key and typing the search term. The larger search results improve speed (both for searching and browsing).Of course, there are things were still working on, that arent yet finished in the Developer Preview. For example, we know there are bugs in interacting at high speed with the scroll wheel on the mouse, and were working on fixing these. Were also adding the ability to instantly zoom out with the mouse and keyboard, and were looking at ways to make scrolling faster and easier. And, we are working on fixing a bug in the Developer Preview that causes inconsistent and slow page-down/page-up behavior. Were also looking at making rearranging more predictable for mouse, keyboard, and touch.One picture we often use to talk about change is the following. The y-axis is some measure of efficiencysuch as time to complete a task, seconds it takes to do something, etc. The x-axis is calendar time. If someone is proficient with something and then a change takes place, there is by definition a dip in functionality. But after an adjustment period, the metrics of success improve. The net result is that over time, work becomes more efficient, even for the same task. And combined with new tasks and capabilities there is an overall net win.SummaryThe Windows 8, the Start screen is not just a replacement for the Windows 7 Start menu but a bringing together of several different ways of navigating your machine. Even in Windows 7, people who are proficient with Windows are already replacing the Start menu with the taskbar for their frequently used desktop apps.For people using mostly desktop apps, the Start screen complements the functionality of the taskbar. Using both together, you have instant access to your most frequently used apps combined with a more powerful way to launch your less frequently used apps (through search or by grouping items on the Start screen). And, for Metro apps, Live tiles transform the Start screen into a dashboard that helps you stay up to date and connected in a high quality experience substantially improved over the notification tray. The new experience offers a way to more efficiently launch apps, stay connected to the most relevant information from apps, and find the things you care about. It also lets you launch and switch quickly between your apps and specific locations within those apps all without sacrificing performance or draining the battery of a laptop or tablet PC.

I think some people are making an inexplicable big deal out of touch input (or the lack thereof) and Windows 8.Touch input or no touch input the OS worked fine and was perfectly serviceable
Also - touchscreen monitors could be using Gorilla Glass - so it'd be safe to bang (LOL) on the monitor.
Well lets see what Google has to say today,
This is in reference to my test hardware.I have not tested any specific DOS version or CP/M on my test hardware. However, I am fairly certain that the statement you quoted doesnt apply to your statement in part or in whole.Without touch input it might work fine (might not be able to address the 24GB of RAM or 6 cores 12 threads,.. not sure) but I sincerely doubt that touch would work with such archaic OSes. Which was kind of the point of what you quoted in terms of working with or without touch input.
