The cheapest way I can think of is to get one of these cables:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882203024 Plug the one end into your MacBook's headphone jack and plug the other end into your TV (assuming it has a free input). A more expensive but maybe nicer way would be to buy an Airport Express. Connect the Airport Express to your TV using a cable like the one above, then your MacBook would connect to it via WiFi. This assumes you're using iTunes for your music, and would let you play music on your TV wirelessly (from anywhere in your house), versus having your MacBook tethered to your TV via the cable. |

It depends on what inputs your TV has. Many have a DVI connector, or an HDMI input.. in which case you could get a mini-dvi to dvi adapter from Apple, and then a DVI to DVI cable to go to your TV (or a DVI to HDMI if you have the HDMI input).
..Unless you were asking how to do it wirelessly (ie: leave your computer upstairs and stream music downstairs), in which case the AppleTV or Airport Express might be your best bet. |

HA! I just did this. I did it with a mini DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable. Sound doesn't come through the DVI, so you'd need a cable to plug into you TV/sound system that fits in the MacBook. The hardest part is getting the TV set up to recieve the signal and display it, but after that, it's easy.

Oh, there was a little plaing around with the resolution, but I didn't really have any problems once I got that down. One must remember it's a TV (~8 ft. viewing distance, monitor ~3 ft.) so it'll always be a little weird to use as a monitor. Simply, it's clear enough, but if anything a little fuzzy between what's comfortable for reading, and what's too small to read (but good for movies and pictures).

Macbook to tv connection is fuzzy
I have a question as well if someone can help me. I am trying to connect my macbook to my television. The tv is just a standard tube television which is a few years old and only has connections for s-video, and the standard yellow jack for the image display. I am trying to do a presentation from Keynote using the television as my screen. I bought a mini DVI converter which has two jacks: one is an s-video and the other the standard yellow jack. I have tried hooking up my macbook to the tv with with both connections and neither give me a picture on the tv screen. Its like something is wrong with my resolution or something on my computer. I can tell that the tv is trying to mirror what is on my macbook, but it looks really fuzzy and it looks like the image is tiled. It is also really dark. I tried a few different resolution combinations and nothing seems to come in clear enough to be recognizable. I also tried this on another tv with the same result. Someone please help! Is there a certain resolution I need to be set on to make this work? There has to be a way to do this. Thanks

Mac Book to TV
I have the same problem. I will be awaiting a solution. The Mini DVI to DVI is OK if you have the socket available on the TV. The one I have does not.

Consider the following super simple C# code
namespace SmartDeviceProject1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { System.Console.WriteLine("Hello"); } } }
Can you guess how many managed Type gets loaded to run this? I was doing some profiling the .NET Compact Framework loader (for entirely unrelated reason) and was surprised by the list that got dumped. 87 177 types**, never could've guessed that...
**This is for the compact framework CLR. Your mileage will vary if you run the same on the desktop CLR.

All Rise...Judge Mike Rubino doesn't want to box you, so don't even bother challenging him. Editor's NoteOur reviews of Bored to Death: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray) (published October 4th, 2011) and Bored to Death: Season Three (Blu-ray) (published September 4th, 2012) are also available. The Charge"Don't me a milquetoast, Jonathan."—George Opening StatementAmateur detectives aren't particularly new: lay folks, be they priests or professors or old ladies, have been solving mysteries without a license for decades. In Bored to Death, a new series on HBO, the latest upstart private eye is Jonathan Ames, a mopey writer neck-deep in the affected and cuthroat literary world of New York City. Facts of the CaseLike a full moon or grain alcohol, getting dumped can push a man into realms of extreme behavior. When it comes to coping with love lost, some guys exercise and others buy expensive crap they don't need. When writer Jonathan Ames (Jason Schwartzman, The Darjeeling Limited) gets dumped by his girlfriend, he turns to the seedy back alley of the internet: Craigslist. Jonathan submits an ad offering his services as an unlicensed private detective—he's read enough pulpy noirs to know how to fight crime and solve mysteries. Within minutes of posting, he's on his first case. As Jonathan tries to fit into his gum shoes over this eight-episode season, he simultaneously attempts to repair the broken relationship with his girlfriend, Suzanne (Olivia Thirlby, Juno); work as a society page reporter for his burdensome boss, George (Ted Danson, Becker); and advise his love-deprived illustrator friend, Ray (Zach Galifianakis, The Hangover). Not only does Jonathan realize that being a detective isn't easy, but doing so while submerged in Brooklyn's literary scene can be a real test of a man's gumption—and his wallet. The EvidenceThe idea of a writer who thinks he can be a private detective because he's read Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler is a solid vehicle for a show. Teaming that writer up with his goofy editor and hefty-but-lovable friend rounds out that idea beautifully. Weighing this quixotic detective story down with pot jokes, romantic hang-ups, and subplots about colonics, however, is a bit much for a half hour show. That's the central problem with Jonathan Ames's (the real life writer and show creator) Bored to Death. It's a fantastic idea for a show, filled with relatively likable characters, that's bogged down by too many disparate ideas. Not even the pilot gets the premise exactly right: the episode opens with Jonathan (the character) getting dumped and stumbling around his apartment until he comes across a Hammett novel. This somehow propels him to place an ad on Craigslist offering himself up as a detective. It's clear Ames (the writer) just wants to get the show moving, but we are never allowed, as viewers, into Ames's (the character) head. Instead, the joke of him explaining to people that he's a private detective is stretched out for episodes, and the cases themselves take a back seat to adventures like delivering one-hitters to his boss or trying to win back Suzanne. Despite its thematic missteps and occasionally forced one-liners, the show is oddly watchable. The literary world that Ames (the writer) transports us into is funny and superficial: director Jim Jarmusch shows up riding a bicycle on the top floor of a warehouse; Sarah Vowell pops by to mediate terms in a boxing match between elite magazine publishers; and John Hodgman (the PC from those Apple commercials) gets punched in the face for writing a negative review—I guess I should tread carefully. The series does find its way eventually. By the fifth episode or so, Bored to Death is done explaining and establishing itself. Jonathan's cases, which range from dangerous (Russian gangsters) to trivial (stolen skateboard), take center stage. The show is at its best when George and Ray team up with Jonathan in "The Case of the Beautiful Blackmailer": the gang loads up on high-tech spy gear, and try and lure the blackmailers into a motel trap. The season eventually comes full circle, in some respects, with the two-part finale "The Case of the Stolen Sperm" and "Take a Dive," which has all three characters facing off against their nemeses in a high profile boxing match. Some of the show's strongest material comes from the juxtaposition of the effete New York literary world with classic noir scenarios like rigged boxing matches and slimy blackmailers. Bored to Death comes in a two-disc set with a score of excellent bonus materials. There's some entertaining commentary tracks, deleted scenes, and a "Making of" featurette. Ames and Schwartzman also team up for a tour of the show's various Brooklyn locales. Unfortunately, I found the show's video transfer to be oddly grainy, with plenty of noise filling the darker scenes. It's a beautifully filmed show, however, with some creative camera work and editing, so the grain could be forgiven. The Dolby Digital Surround audio mix is solid. Closing StatementI really like Bored to Death's premise, I just wish the show was a little more consistent and confident. It's quite possible that things will improve with further seasons, so for now consider Season One a curiosity worth investigating as a rental. The VerdictGuilty. Give us your feedback!Did we give Bored To Death: The Complete First Season a fair trial? yes / no Other Reviews You Might Enjoy

Small-flowered Buckthorn is a very odd shrub, seemingly halfway between a shrub and a vine. Leaning on other shrubs and trees for support, it can reach heights of 25 feet or so. Growing in shell middens and hammocks, Small-flowered Buckthorn is rare throughout its range along the immediate coast from Mississippi to NC, except in Florida, where it is widespread. Carteret Co., NC 7/13/2008. | |
One of the rarest shrubs in North Carolina, it is found in a few sites on Bogue Banks in Carteret County, the northern limit of its range, and has also been found in Onslow Co.

LNT takes stock in stronger rating
June 17, 2002
-- Home Textiles Today,Citing a strong outlook for home goods, improving sales momentum and a tighter operational focus, Merrill Lynch has boosted its intermediate term rating on Linens 'n Things to a 'strong buy' from an earlier 'neutral' ranking.
Merrill analyst Mark Friedman set a 12-month price target of $37 for the retailer's stock, about 19 percent higher than the recent trading level of $31, and more than double the stock's 52-week low of $17.37 a share.
"We believe Linens' business has stabilized and sales momentum should continue to improve boosted by internal initiatives and solid execution," Friedman said in a research note.
"We believe a renewed emphasis on the home following Sept. 11, combined with the possibility of an economic rebound, bode well for the home goods segment," said Friedman. "In addition, home sales remain robust, up 7 percent in April and at a record high in the first quarter."
Sales momentum should continue to improve, the analyst said. "Key categories continue to show improvement as the company makes necessary strategic changes and improves its offerings."
Inventory management is a key focus, and the company is devoting more resources to ensure a better in-stock position on core basics, said Friedman. In addition to improving in-stock position, "Linens aims to reduce repetition and rationalize product offerings by category. This should result in a deeper assortment of better-selling items, instead of a broad assortment that turns over less frequently."
Same-store sales growth accelerated during the first quarter, and the retailer posted a 2.6 percent comp gain, "with February and March stronger than January," Friedman pointed out. "Although we believe home goods momentum in general has helped Linens' improving performance, the company is clearly making progress in certain product categories. Textiles are on the right rack, boosted by the introduction of two major sheet programs, sharper pricing on existing products, and a new fashion introduction in window treatments."
To get the point across to the consumer, LNT is refining its marketing message, said Friedman. "The key point of differentiation for Linens is improved quality at the same or lower prices. Value is the key message Linens is trying to convey, and new marketing and signage in stores have been helpful."
Linens is also boosting its private-label business, said Friedman. "This strategy is another point of differentiation for Linens and offers the ability to fill in gaps in the merchandise. We believe proprietary product can grow to 25 percent of the business from 15 percent today."

Colombo, where the heart lies
I visited Colombo last November, on a brief vacation in Sri Lanka. The city is deeply historical and as a Tamil, I found that memories of the war live on in its people. I loved wandering into alleyways and discovering how a large part of the Sri Lankan population lived; some in poverty, others in luxury. It reminded me of India. However, I think the city of Colombo is now undergoing a deep transition - political and cultural - and I really hope that is for the better.

I used to try EVERY ride, but I've found that the older I get the faster the motion sickness kicks in. I like scary drops and rides that beat the heck out of you but aren't so "spinney".If something looks fun, I'll go on it even if I know I'll spend the rest of the day queasy. Recent Activity |

Utah/Colorado trip
I wasn't going to do a report, out of laziness really. But I've enjoyed so many other folks pictures and stories, I thought I would contribute something. Also I have nothing else to do right now. lol.
The plan was to ride from Las Vegas to Grand Junction, CO and meet up with my son, who would ride over from Denver. Then the plan was to ride the passes around Silverton, camping nearby. I was on my Super Tenere and he on his new-to-him WeeStrom. This was my first big trip on the Tenere and Aaron's first real motorcycle trip period.
He just moved back to Denver from Hawaii, where he was stationed in the Marine Corps. He bought his first motorcycle in December, I think, after he returned from his second tour in Afghanistan. It was a '03 Harley Sportster. He sold it before he left the island for exactly what he paid for it. Then he bought the Wee off Craigslist in Denver. It is pretty much all tricked out for ADV riding, and he loves it. I am jealous of his Sergeant seat.
I have to say, for a kid who's been riding for 8 months, he kicked ass on this ride. We rode Ophir, Cinnamon, and Engineer passes, that one in the pouring rain. He had a couple of drops, one was my fault, but mostly he just bulled through everything.
On to the pictures. There are many reports on these areas by people who know them really well and I don't have much to add, except to say "Thanks!" to them for the good info. I'll keep my description of the trip simple.
It's 105 degrees, I'm ready to roll.
I camped the first night at Lake Powell, right at the lake. Waheap marina, or something like that. Full on camp store with showers and water. Good deal. It was beautiful, but it stormed that night and ruined my campfire. That will be important later.
I met a really nice couple, whose names I don't remember (sorry!), camped across from me. They were in an SUV with a box trailer, and inside the trailer were two motorcycles, one is a sport tourer and one an enduro. They apparently travel around camping and jump on the bikes, two up, to go exploring. I have my plan for retirement now.
The lake.
The next morning my bike was attacked by pterodactyls at Glen Canyon Dam. We escaped harm.
I took the scenic route through Monument Valley, highway 163.
I ran into a big thunderstorm just south of Moab. I stopped and put on my rain gear, just in time. As I was riding through the rain I passed, going in the opposite direction, a long line of M/C pirates. They were in full protective bandanas and cut off denim jackets. I'm sure they were too tough to even notice the rain, lol.
Stopped for coffee. Talked to Phil (I think?) and his wife from New Zealand. They are riding the TAT two-up and have a ride report going here. Nice to meet you!
I took the scenic route though the canyon north of Moab, highway 128. Couldn't be more beautiful.
Met up with Aaron. He showed up with this tire:
Hard to tell but it's completely squared off. He was complaining that the bike was handling badly on the way from Denver so I looked at the tire and told him that was his problem. We went over to the Suzuki dealership in Grand Junction first thing the next morning and got him a new tire. The only dual-purpose tire they had was a brand I never heard of, but we had no choice. They put it on in no time and we got on the road. He was much happier with the new tire's handling.
The new tire.
This put us behind schedule a little. I had planned for us to ride highway 141 south from Grand Junction around to Telluride. But we decided that we would go down 50 to Montrose and over on 90 to the start of Last Dollar road. Those pics are next.

22 Dec 2011 Shanghai - Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) has selected Bright Cluster Manager for its high performance computing (HPC) cluster. The observatory is using the supercomputer to study the origins of the solar system, the universe, and life itself. Specifically, Bright will be used to manage the cluster that supports PMO's research into dark matter, dark energy, and black hole compact objects. PMO is also the first installation of Bright Cluster Manager by China HPC Technologies Co. Ltd (CHPC), a Bright partner serving the Chinese market.
PMO, also known as the Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory, is China's first modern research institute. Its graduate students are researching a wide range of topics relating to astronomy and physics, and are contributing to the knowledge base of both sciences.
The technology to support this research comes from the combination of CHPC and Bright Cluster Manager. CHPC provides software and services to address the high performance computing, complex data management, and storage needs of scientific, technical and business communities. CHPC's technology helps users simulate climate changes, accelerate drug discovery, and assist with astrophysics simulations.
"High performance computing is an integral part of PMO's research. It enables them to study and simulate dark energy, cosmology and high energy astrophysics", stated Daniel Deng, CEO of CHPC. "With Bright Computing software, they are able to more efficiently conduct their research - jobs run more smoothly, the system is better utilized. Bright minimizes the effort required to manage their cluster, allowing them to stay focused on science."
"Bright Cluster Manager helps us to serve our customers better", continued Daiel Deng. "Bright makes it easy to install and manage clusters, while keeping operating costs down."

Camp Wanafuk, part 3
Fiction, Bestiality, Boy / Boy, Cruelty
Author's infos
Gender: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Sat 6th of March 2004
The images of the boys masturbating so openly were burned in Ronald's
mind. In fact, they were the fuel to a lot of his sessions of onanism in
the days to follow. Especially since cute and friendly Brent had been
part of the group.
For many evenings, the usual games were not played in cabin 12. The
monitors had come up with the brilliant idea of showing flicks in the camp
church. The young tribe feasted on all of them. How long can a boy go
without visual stimulation?
The corny choice was a treat: Benji, Bad News Bears, E.T.,
Neverending Story 1 and 2, Treasure Island.
Sure enough, a lot of the mischievous brats found ways to make sexual
innuendos and lewd remarks during many scenes of this wholesome package.
The boys would also take turns sitting in the back rows to watch nudy
pictures and jack-off under the cover of darkness.
So of course, when the cinema shows stopped, Ron went back to his old
frightened self. He dreaded the general's games.
"It's gonna be a blast tonight!... We'll seperate the men from the
little boys!" snickered Jake.
The tall teen scanned the floor where the underwear clad kids were
sitting like indians in front of him. With a quick forward thrust, he
threw his hand at the crowd. A wooden clothespin was displayed proudly
in the middle of his palm.
"Okay.. This is the plan. One by one, you're gonna sit on the coffee
table and snap this baby to your ball-bag for thirty seconds...If you
fail, you get the cabin 12 punishment."
"Ooooouch!" cooed Jerry, fully aware of how painful it was.
"Do it Jerry!" said Jake.
The blond twelve-year-old jumped up. His butt landed on the
table with a thump. He spread his legs and pulled out his ball-sack from
the hem of his briefs. The heavy purse, still hairless, hung down from the
Jake clamped the clothespin to the loose skin and looked at his watch
to time the boy. Ten seconds...fifteen seconds... The dull pain was
radiating in Jerry's loins. Twenty seconds... He hissed and bit his
lips. "Is it time Jake?" Twenty-five seconds... "Is it...Is it now?"
"Yup. You did it...thirty seconds!"
Jerry removed the painful device. The skin was crushed and red where
the clothespin had been placed. Meanwhile, Jake sat Gary and took out
himself his little balls. The eight-year-old squirmed on the table.
Jerry knelt in front of the child and clamped the clothespin on his
tender skin.
Gary yelped and stared intensely between his short legs. "Aoooooo"
he moaned. His little toes cramped up from the atrocious torture and soon
tears poured out of his little eyes. Every agonizing second seemed like
an hour.
"Thirty seconds!" cheered Jake. "That's very good!"
Gary leaped up and removed the clothespin. These were the nicest
words he'd heard in years. He rubbed the pain away from the afflicted
area, fidgetting on his barefeet.
"Your turn Ronald!" barked the stern thirteen-year-old. "I know you'll
fail... you're such a spud."
Teary-eyed and trembling, Ron pulled out his smooth nuts. When the
clothespin's jaws bit his skin, he yelled and threw it on the floor.
"Argghh! it hurts!" he wept.
"You're such a weasel!" said Robby.
"Yeah. Even little Gary did the thirty seconds..." added his brother.
"You'll have to be punished for your cowardliness now Ronald." grinned Jake.
"Grab him!"
Ron diverted towards the door but the ten tiny hands gripped him and
pushed him on the couch. He felt his underpants slide down his legs.
Once again, he was naked and helpless. The feverish gang began to grope
his privates roughly and punch him as he swirled on the couch, kicking
and crying. He could hear them laugh around him.
"Get the rope!"
"Are we gonna fuck him?"
"Let's put a baseball bat in his ass!"
Despite his efforts, his hands were tied behind his back. The cord
burned his fragile wrists. Jake closed his legs and tied them too. He
was like a calf at a rodeo.
"Uhhh Leave me alone pleaaaaaaaasssse." he begged.
The strong general of the troop raised his skinny body off the sofa
and bent him over with a karate chop to his stomach. His little butt was
sticking out at the audience now, round and pale.
He shivered awaiting the humiliating rite he was gonna be forced to
submit to. His face buried in the cushion, he tried to listen to the dim
noises behind him. Whispers, chuckles and all of sudden...
"AOWWWWW" he screamed.
He'd been hit with something! The pain stung his bottom and the sound
from the blow resonated in his ears. He turned his face to find out the
source of such suffering, just in time to see Jake handing a large
paddle to Robby. The next boy was obviously itching to have a go with the
wooden board, he swung it in the air like a sword, his eyes aimed at the
fleshy target he was presenting.
"AOWWWWWWWWW" he screamed again, this time with an hint of terror.
The thick paddle was about five inches wide but not too heavy, a
perfect instrument of chastisement. The next boy, Jerry used it with the
brutality of a viking on his bare-ass. *THWACK* He whimpered in the cushion
and pleaded them to stop, but the gleeful boys just laughed at his misery
and urged Richie to deliver the next blow.
His knees sagged from the powerful strokes. His whole behind was
like a mass of raw nerves. *WHACK* Even little Gary managed to extirpate a
yelp out of him. 'That was it' he thought. All the boys had taken a turn at
hitting his rump. He imagined already his soothing hands rubbing his
throbbing buns. Then...
Two blows even harder than the ones he'd already received brought him
back to reality. He recognized the signature of Jake's forceful vigor.
They were all going at it again, hollering and cheering each other to
give the hit that would make him yell loud enough to wake the whole
For what seemed like forever to Ron, they spanked his sore butt with
two atrocious strokes, sometimes taking a few steps before they brought
down the wooden plank. All over his small behind, the angry red marks of
the cruel paddling were appearing like magic.
The clamor of the crowd faded a little after Gary finished his
business then intensified again for the third round. It was like they
were possessed. The punishment continued this time with three agonizing
blows from every boy.
On the verge of passing out, Ron just sobbed in the cushion, the
constant pain a humiliating reminder of his position. They were gonna
turn his buttocks into ground beef he thought and he couldn't do
anything to stop them even if he tried. He just lay there, yelping with
every stinging whack.
After his ordeal, he didn't look at them and climbed on his bunk. The
brothers giggled seeing his butt red all over and glowing. He stretched
on his tummy and went to sleep.
"You wanna go on the lake?.... I'll paddle."
"I dunno." shuddered Ron upon hearing the 'P' word.
"C'mon, I won't eat you!" smiled Brent. "...unless you want me to?"
Ron couldn't resist that boyish grin. He climbed in the rowboat with
the hunkiest boy at camp, staring at the bulge in his green bermuda-
style swimming trunks. The vivid memory of how his penis looked rushed
back to his mind. He could tell what every bump was hiding.
Brent's eyes travelled along the slender legs of the ten-year-old and
stopped at his waist, admiring the sexy red speedo on his loins. He had
loved the kid at first site on the bus. He could tell he wasn't like the
other boys. They acted friendly but he knew better, he wasn't dumb. He
knew they wanted to hang out with him because he was a babe-magnet.
His handsome face, trendy haircut and deep blue eyes like Elijah
Wood's had girls stumbling at his feet constantly in the school corridors.
Sure, he enjoyed the attention at first but it soon turned into a
nightmare when he discovered he liked boys more, young boys. Many
nights, he cried in his pillow, unable to face the role of the school
queer. Yet, he couldn't turn off his attraction, he had no way of
controlling his impulses.
Sometimes, he went to the batting cage and hit baseballs as hard as
he could to unleash his rage. The rage that took over his body everytime
he recalled the first time. It seemed to him it was that day that all
his problems began, that he became what he is.
He had just ran half a mile in the rain with his cousin Billy. As
they removed their damp clothes, the eight-year-old had asked him
casually: "Ever suck a dick Brent?... I wonder how it would taste?"
That afternoon, they had explored their wet bodies, caressed every
centimeter, touched every spot that felt good and finally sucked each
other's dicks until they were red and raw. From that day on, he
had an insatiable cock-crave.
The half-naked boy sitting in front of him on the bench was
arousing him fiercely. He was still pasty white like the day he met him
on the bus. Oh god. He wanted the boy to suck him. He longed to rub
his dickhead on his freckled-face, on the blond fleece of tiny pins
that was his hair. At the same time, he kept thinking of a place to
take him, to play with his small body.
"How come you're so white Ron?" he inquired. "Haven't you been
outside playing over the last week?"
"Uh? Well, sometimes... but mostly I stay in the cabin. The kids are
mean to me."
"I won't be mean to ya..."
Ron smiled, a wide grin illuminating his small mug. The boat bumped
the shore and Brent jumped out.
"My arms are dead! I have to rest for a while." he exclaimed.
He walked in the forest with Ron tagging along. The old abandoned
house was still there, sagging on one side.
"They say this place is haunted by a killer..."
"Uh?" peeped Ronald with inquisitive eyes.
"Yup. In 1956, a camper was strangled by Weird Willy, but they didn't
have enough evidence to convict him. The angry town's folks reunited and
saw to it that justice was done. They came to his house and chopped him
to death with an axe. True story. I swear."
Ron puffed out his chest trying to look brave. "Let's go in.."
Brent smiled in his head. He could see the terror in the boy's eyes.
It was nice to see the ole tale still worked. Moments from now, the kid
would be cuddling him like a toddler.
They entered the house plastered with cobwebs. Brent made ghost
noises and tickled the small boy until they collapsed on the floor in
each other's arms, giggling.
"I think you have a bone in your swim suit Ron..."
"You too!" blushed the blond boy.
Brent took the hand of the nervous ten-year-old and dragged him up the
stairs. There were three rooms on the second floor. He walked over to
the one with a bed and jumped on it. Resting his head against the wall,
he called the child over with open arms.
Ron paused a second. The old bed was stinking. Everything was
happening so fast. He longed to be cradled in Brent's arms but at the
same time he knew it wasn't right to be hugged by a guy, to enter
forbidden territories.
He squirmed his way to the older boy and he pulled him over on his tall
body. Ronald could feel the warmth of Brent's belly under his back,
his calm breathing on his neck and his hard cock jammed in his buttcrack.
Brent cuddled the boy and kissed his rosy cheek. The nice feeling
was there again. The one where you don't have a care in the world and
all that counts is the present moment. He nibbled the boy's ear and
whispered: "I love you". Ron moaned softly, reasurring him. He ran
his hand on his undevelopped torso, down to his red speedo where he
caressed the kid's pouch.
With both hands, he slid the skintight swim suit down to the child's
knees, lowering it gently and listening to his heartbeat to see if he
was scared. The kid's deflated penis was right there, waiting for his
hand to pleasure it. He caressed tenderly the hairless genitals to wake
the tiny organ and it grew between his fingers like a flower coming
out of the snow to greet the sun at springtime.
Ron sighed with pleasure. He looked down at the luscious fingers of the
twelve-year-old massaging his balls, stroking his dick and playing with
his foreskin. He was gonna explode! When his penis had expanded
to maximum capacity, the hand began to masturbate him amorously. Then
faster and faster, squeezing his small three inch tube.
His toes curled up as Brent brought his pleasure up a notch by
pinching his nipples with his free hand or kneading his ball-sack
meanwhile maintaining the same rhythm on his penis. A river of
surprise was flowing through his body, good sensations he never
really had considered before.
He was beginning to jerk on Brent's body and the boy stopped stroking
him. Brent wanted to build up his pleasure, to give him the most powerful
orgasm of his young life. Rolling the child to his side, he slid his
speedo the rest of the way and threw it on the floor before removing
his own bathing suit.
His young five inch penis was hard like granite, oozing pre-cum from
its swollen tip. Without missing a beat, he spread Ron's legs wide and
leaned to touch with his tongue the tiny cockhead of his small pecker.
Ron moaned, bug-eyed from the anticipation of his first blow job.
Brent swallowed the entire length until his upper lip brushed against
the smooth skin of his pubes. He swirled his tongue on the upstroke
sending the young boy on the edge.
"Ohhhhh that's so good!" cried Ronald. He now realized how the dog must
have felt when he blew him.
Brent bobbed his head on the hard boycock, sucking like a vaccum and
leaving a trail of spit as his lips moved up and down. The boy was
bucking his hips to meet his hungry mouth.
Beads of sweat broke out over their bodies. The young lad was like
putty in the hands of a profesional cocksucker like Brent, the older
male's pumping action bringing him on the brink of release.
Methodically, he paused to lick his balls and perinum before he continued
sucking again. The twelve-year-old could read him like a map. It was
like he was totally in synch with Ron's blooming climax.
The undeniable signs of pleasure were clearly visible on the ten-
year-old. His feet pointing, his fingers clenching the sheets and his eyes
Brent put the child's right leg over his shoulder and inserted a wet
finger in his tiny asshole before resuming his work. Ron tensed up at first
but soon let the waves of delight of the anal stimulation combine with
the ones of Brent's lips on his penis. He could feel the digit move
around the skin of his anus and slither inside his rectum to rub his small
It was time now. Brent finger-fucked him madly and sucked the tip of
his dick, pulling out all the tricks, using his tongue to rub the
underside of the glans.
"OOOhhhhh Ohhhhhh OHhhhhhhhh Ohhhh" cried Ron like a siren.
Brent felt the boy's rod grow stiffer and he peaked, twitching
all over. Gurgles rose from his throat. He came long and hard, bouncing
on the bed with every spasm of his ass muscles. His face grimaced with each
jolt of his dry orgasm, as if he was having a seizure.
Both boys were drained. Brent lay his back on the bed and Ron
rested his blond head on his flat chest. Gently, he played with
the older boy's stiff tool. His stubby fingers caressed the turgid
flesh. The gentle touch of an angel. His way of thanking him for the
best experience of his life.
Already, his own dick was getting hard and poking Brent's thigh. He
looked up at the boy's face and without saying a word, he knew what
Brent needed. He gripped the beautiful boy's cock and lowered his lips
over it.
The sweet pre-cum juice tasted much better than the dog's fluid.
Brent pushed the back of his shaved head forcing half of his dick inside
his mouth. He didn't mind. He wanted to pleasure his new friend as much
as he had for him.
Trying to remember how Brent had done it, he moved his tongue all
around the swollen head. Brent moaned and caressed his little ass to
show him he was doing right. He wrapped his lips around the shaft
and sucked firmly, taking more and more of the penis in his mouth
everytime he bobbed his head.
He sucked steadilly and the big cockhead hit the back of his throat.
But he wanted more! He released the base of Brent's penis and let the
tip invade his passage until his lower lip connected with the boy's ball-
sack. He had it all.
Brent shuddered. He couldn't believe the object of his affection was
taking his entire prick in the depth of his mouth. Ron pulled back and
smiled from the exploit he had accomplished without gagging. He engulfed
the five inches between his slippery lips a few more minutes and then
worked the engorged head, twirling his tongue on the crown, sucking air
to ensure a strong suction on the sensitive knob.
"Ohhhhhh I'm gonna come Ron!" Brent cried. "Do that again!"
Ron sucked the tip faster and faster. Brent writhed on the bed. He
knew it was his time to go to heaven. Gripping the base of the cock to
stroke it firmly, Ron sucked faster than never before. The organ was
like metal in his tiny hands.
Brent groaned and Ron felt the pulses of his dick in his hand as it
spurted two quick loads of cream on his tongue. He held the cock in his
mouth as best as he could while the boy trashed on the mattress. His
mouth was full with his jism. He emptied it with one gulp and felt the
slimy semen run down his throat.
No sooner had he swallowed that the spasming cock shot more tasty cum in
his small cavity. Ron ate everything his friend had to offer, not
letting one drop get away. They cuddled together for the next hour,
beaming, in a warm embrace.
One afternoon, Ron was lonely. The kids kept pinching his ass and his
high-pitched cries made everyone laugh at him. He went looking for
Brent. Ever since they had been intimate, he was like his shadow,
following him around everywhere. After an hour, he determined his search
would be fruitless. So as usual, he vanished to cabin 12 for his daily nap.
As he pushed the door ajar, he saw Richie sleeping naked on his bunk.
'Ooops'. For a second, he thought he was shagging the mattress because
he was moving slowly. Hey! there was somebody with him, actually, underneath
him! 'How unusual?' he thought.
It was the boy's brother, Robby, moaning softly as Richie hovered
over him. 'Yikes! They were doing it!'
"I'm inside completely Robby!" he heard.
"Uhhh...fuck me quick before somebody comes.."
"Nobody's gonna come... I'M gonna come!"
Ron watched silently through the slit. He could see Richie's four
inch cock lodged to the root in his brother's ass. Robby spread his legs
giving him a perfect view of the anal coitus that was about to begin. The
boy wiggled his ass and the hard weapon began slidding slowly in and out,
the anal ring contracting with every langorous movement.
"Uhhh harder! harder Rich!"
The curly boy surely wasn't gonna disappoint his twin. He grabbed his
shoulders and shoved himself inside his rectum. The bed bumped against
the wall. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
"Like that? You like it like that eh?" he smiled wickedly.
"Ohh yessss." Robby moaned.
Ron closed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming. When he opened
them up, the heap of tanned bodies was still there, Richie supporting
himself on his hands and toes as if he was doing push-ups on top of his
The two eleven-year-olds had obviously done this many times before.
There wasn't any innocence in their gestures. Robby was pushing his ass
up to meet his brother's thrust, ensuring a deep penetration in his
bowels. Richie was burying his nails in the tender flesh of his twin,
bitting his neck and growling like a wolf.
Ron saw the lubrication they had used leak out of Robby's brownhole as
Richie plowed the red opening at an incredible pace, his balls slapping
loudly against the firm buns. The flesh of the young boy's ass was
quivering with every contact of his brother's hips.
"Ohhhh that's it! I'm gonnnnnaaa commmme." cried Robby.
The bed was now hitting rhythmically the wall and Ron wondered if it
would fall over to expose these two naughty rascals.
It looked to him like Richie was an accomplished buttfucker. Of
course, he wasn't aware that Richie knew the proper angle to fuck his
brother's ass. The curb in his cock was perfect to rub his little
prostate and make him melt in ecstasy.
"Ohh yeah! Ohhh fuck me! Ohh fuck me!"
Mouth agape, Robby drowned in the pleasure of the anal onslaught. His
erect penis was getting massaged on the mattress and the familiar
tinglings grew in his cockhead. A few more jabs was all he needed.
He screamed with delight. The sweet pain was worth every second of the
thundering orgasm washing over him. His body jerked on the bed with less
and less intensity until he lay motionless.
Richie had noticed his brother's climax. He could always tell when he
came. Even though, there was nothing coming out of his penis, he knew
that when he opened his mouth wide and stopped breathing, he was coming.
The loose sphincter was not stimulating enough for his young cock. He
asked his brother to close his legs and hold them tight. The boy obliged
since he wanted his brother to get off now that he had been happy.
When Robby moved his legs together, his anus clamped on Richie's shaft.
He could buttfuck him now, hard and fast until he reached paradise. With
the efforts of a titan he continued pistonning his brother's rectum.
"Come in my ass! Argghh c'mon! come NOW!"
Richie bounced on the boy a few more minutes and reached the pre-
orgasm period. He had to fuck quick now. Real fast and steady for the
pleasure to flow. The bed banged furiously. Richie groaned and collapsed
on his brother as his penis shot blanks up his fanny. His little white
butt tensed up and the plesasure subsided.
They remained like that for the next moment, their chest heaving. When
they got up to recover their clothes, Ron ran away. The grunts echoed in
his head. Feeling a little scared and indisposed, he went looking for
a friendly face to clean up his mind, but he never found one.

Dressed in Black & Kindred Spirits
Dressed in Black. Various Artists. | Dualtone.
Kindred Spirits. Various Artists. | Sony Nashville.
Coinciding with Johnny Cash's 70th birthday, two new tribute albums celebrate the country icon's living legacy. Many of the admirers on Dressed in Black offer faithful echoes of his thunderous baritone, though the Mavericks' Raul Malo recasts "I Guess Things Happen That Way" as a somber Roy Orbison-type ballad, while Rodney Crowell's "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" is smooth and sweet. Kindred Spirits features bigger stars who take greater license with their renditions. Among the highlights: Bob Dylan's scruffy "Train of Love" and a hushed "Give My Love to Rose" by Bruce Springsteen. The biggest surprise comes from Little Richard, whose blistering "Get Rhythm" testifies to the remarkable scope of Cash's influence.

LADDONIA — A truck driver wanted for questioning after a body was found in the refrigerated compartment of a tractor-trailer has been arrested after a nearly daylong hostage situation ended in eastern Missouri.
Audrain County Sheriff Stuart Miller said the standoff ended peacefully Wednesday morning when 38-year-old Chester Harvey Jr. released his 14-year-old son, who was his last hostage, and surrendered.
The Audrain County Sheriff's Department said the Missouri State Highway Patrol received a tip Monday night about a possible homicide and contacted the Sheriff's Department. The investigation led law enforcement to a tractor-trailer parked on the east side of Vandalia, where they found the body Tuesday.
Miller said authorities didn't know the identity of the body and were awaiting an autopsy to determine the cause of death. He said the tractor had been leased to Harvey and the trailer belonged to an undisclosed company.
Later Tuesday, officers cornered Harvey in a house in Laddonia, where he's accused of holding his four children and his wife hostage.
Miller said Harvey was charged Tuesday night in a warrant with kidnapping and abandonment of a corpse. The kidnapping count stems from claims that he held his 9-year-old son hostage. Miller said the boy who was in a wheelchair wasn't released until 2 a.m. Wednesday, even though he is on dialysis and was overdue for a treatment.
Authorities said Harvey had released his first two hostages, ages 7 and 16, Tuesday. He released his wife, identified as Angela Dawn, 34, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Miller said Harvey was being transported to the Audrain County Jail, where he would be held without bond. The court clerk did not immediately respond to a call about whether Harvey had an attorney yet.
Authorities are offering a $1,000 reward for information.

Beginning in 2011 protest from the Middle East to North Africa, to Europe and the Americas, rattled existing political systems, taking down governments, challenging dominant discourses, and opening up new spaces for political action. This surge of global protest marks a distinct model of politics that has arguably been taking shape since the dawn of the 21st century. Unprecedented upheaval worldwide and the enormous size of recent street protests in India, Turkey, Egypt, Brazil, and elsewhere are introducing new actors to political life, new tactics and counter-tactics to protest, and new challenges for research on protest.
In a continuing series of public conferences and events On Protest, the Tahrir Moments Research Group invites you to attend an afternoon devoted to the presentation and discussion of transnational and comparative research on protest.

Bumper corn and soy crops predicted
Corn cob held in a cornfield.
Kai Ryssdal: Back in June, the devastating floods across the Midwest had brought predictions of even higher food prices. But since the rains came and went, the weather has been smiling on farmers. Today the government's latest crop survey pointed to what may be the second-largest corn crop in history. And there has been a correspondingly strong recovery for some other key grains, including soybeans and wheat. Marketplace's Bob Moon reports that should bring some relief, not only in the cost of food, but energy prices as well.
Bob Moon: The Agriculture Department was fairly singing the good news today.
Song clip: The corn is as high as an elephant's eye.
OK, so those weren't the report's exact words, but they're close. Farmers are on track to harvest 12.3 billion bushels of corn this year, up nearly 5 percent from last month's forecast. And, after soaring to a record of nearly 8 bucks a bushel, corn prices are expected to drop to around $6 and perhaps below 5.
Michael Swanson: We're lucky, because $8 corn would have been a very high burden for the American consumer to deal with.
Michael Swanson is an agricultural economist at Wells Fargo. He says cooler, wetter-than-usual weather helped farmers grow much more than they hoped.
Swanson: This kind of gives us some breathing room, because we have enough corn in the bins to not have to really be in a pure panic going into next year.
But it's not quite in the bins yet. These grains were planted late, so they need more time to grow, increasing the risk of freeze damage.
Swanson: I was talking to people in North Dakota yesterday, and they're just hoping that the wind stays from the south, instead of Canada.
If they hold up, lower prices will also be good news for livestock producers who've been struggling with higher feed prices. Chad Henderson is an analyst with Wisconsin-based Prime Agricultural Consultants. He says farmers see a flip side.
Chad Henderson A simple way to look at this is, with a $2-per-bushel drop in the corn price on a producer who has 150-bushel corn, he's lost about $300 an acre in potential revenue.
That may sound like a raw deal, but Henderson says it's still a lot better than farmers were expecting just a few months ago.
I'm Bob Moon for Marketplace.

Catalina 30 bulkhead rot

Thanks: 1
Thanked 5 Times in 5 Posts
Rep Power:
I replaced about 1/2 of the rotten bulkhead of my Catalina 22 by cutting out the rotten part and using it as a template for a marine plywood replacement.
I doweled and Gorilla glued the new wood to the old wood, cleaned it up and it seemed to work well. I'm confident that the fix was at least as strong as the original.
I was able to remove the bulkhead for this, but imagine that you could do the same thing while the bulkhead is in place.
I would have used teak-faced marine plywood, but couldn't find any where I was (Tulsa) at the time. So, I laminated white Formica on top of the new wood to hide the joint. It looked quite nice, frankly.
I think this was a good fix. Others, with more experience in this matter are likely to chime in with better ways to do what I did.
Frankly, since you know boats, and as long as you are being careful, I wouldn't let this problem stop you from buying the boat.

Demi Lovato Quits Twitter After Trust Rant
Demi Lovato has a long and twisted history with Twitter -- and she recently quit the microblogging site yet again.
Demi Lovato has a long and twisted history with Twitter -- and she recently quit the microblogging site yet again.
Twitter has been giving celebrities a platform to air their opinions and what they ate for breakfast since 2006, and boy have they. It's also given them a place to interact with other celebs and share their grievances with one another.
This of course has inevitably led to a new form of communication: The Twitter slapfight, in which stars duel over the internet in 140 characters or less (often to the amusement of millions of onlookers).
A tweet went out today that has us a bit confused. It said that John Kerry throws his support behind behind 'Markey' - and the Funky Bunch?
As many of us mourn the tragic loss of life that was caused by a shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, some are using it to get political. A big gun-control debate took place today following the tragic events
Looks like Demi Lovato is the latest celebrity to show a little skin on twitter. Check out her scandalous photo after the jump.
Nick Lachey has written on Twitter that he was kicked out of Sunday's Bengals-Chargers game n San Diego.
Not a good weekend for the BEEBS. Justin Bieber got alot of attention (mostly negative) when he greeted the Prime MInister of Canada wearing what looks to be the clothes they wear if you were starring in a remake of "The Beverly Hillbillies" Not only that, but he was booed at a halftime performace in Canada
The Twitterverse is a man down. Prolific tweeter Chris Brown, who engages in plenty of wars of words in the space of 140-characters, has deleted his account after a particularly nasty exchange with writer Jenny Johnson.

Under the Covers with Nate Tyler
Nate Tyler lands on the cover of the September issue of Surfing Magazine
By Phil Bannan
Photo by DJ Struntz
Early-round Innersection sensation Nate Tyler launched himself onto the September cover of SURFING with a photo from DJ Struntz that neatly sums up the theme of the issue (you'll have to read it). With the Indonesian grom watching intently from the shoulder, and Nate's color-coded, tack-sharp frontside grab perfectly centered, DJ's shot couldn't have been better if we'd painted it in Photoshop. Here, Nate takes us under the cover.
SURFING Magazine: Can you walk us through the session when that shot was taken?
Nate Tyler: It was a great one. We were pretty surfed out by the end of it, so to be honest I don't even remember that actual wave. The trip was with the Hobgoods for a Globe film. They are the most psyched surfers ever, so I had to try and keep up with them and surf as much as possible. By the end of the trip, it all became a blur.
Are you allowed to say where that spot is?
I'm not sure about that. I'm guessing it's a no. It's somewhere in Bali. It was my first time at that spot. It was so fun and we had lots of swell the whole time with glassy conditions every day.
We were curious — did you land on that grom paddling over the shoulder?
Oh man, there are so many kids out there. They're just fearless. You'll see them doing stuff like running across the reef barefoot at low tide. The Hobgoods were joking, saying any move they did, there would be a kid sitting there looking up at them right in the way, that didn't care if they were about to be landed on (laughs). But to tell you the truth, I don't even remember the kid on that wave. That's how close we kept coming to them out there.
Sounds like those kids could have gotten some good photos.
Yeah, for sure. They weren't scared of anything. And they were the coolest little kids. They were so psyched to call us into waves and it seemed like they wanted us to land on them. But I don't think I actually hit them, just so everyone knows (laughs). Some close calls though.
Well that's good to hear that no children were harmed in the making of this cover shot. So do you work with DJ a lot?
It's actually only the second time I've worked with him. I just got lined up with Globe to start working on their new film, 0000. The first time I met him was when we were filming for that Year Zero film in Australia earlier this year. It was great shooting with him during that trip, and I guess it worked out pretty nicely (laughs).
What's next for Nate Tyler, now that you can check a SURFING Magazine cover off of your list?
Right now, I'm putting a lot of work into the Globe film. I'm really excited to be a part of that film in any way I can be. And pretty much the only other thing besides the Globe trips is filming for my Innersection part. I've been putting more work into my section, trying to better my clips for the final submission. It sounded like it would be a lot easier than it actually is. It's getting a lot harder to nail better clips. So between the filming for Globe's 0000 and Innersection, this is the busiest I've been in my whole life.
