On January 18, 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a final rule (the Appraisal Rule) implementing an amendment to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) that revises Regulation B's provisions regarding appraisals in connection with a consumer's application for a loan secured by a first lien on a dwelling. The amendment to ECOA was enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank). The Appraisal Rule will become effective January 18, 2014.
The Appraisal Rule amends Section 1002.14 of Regulation B to provide for the following in connection with applications for credit secured by a first lien on a dwelling:
Pepper Points
Significant New Impact on Credit Unions. The current version of Regulation B contains an exemption for credit unions because credit unions are otherwise required to provide appraisals to loan applicants upon request pursuant to National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) regulations. But because the Appraisal Rule requires creditors to provide (i) all valuations and appraisals and (ii) provide them automatically, not upon request, both of which are greater than what is required under NCUA regulations, the Appraisal Rule eliminated the credit union exemption and so the revised Regulation B provisions to provide appraisals will apply to credit unions.
Free Appraisals? Although the Appraisal Rule prohibits creditors from charging applicants for providing "a copy" of an appraisal, it allows creditors to charge for the underlying appraisal services. So, the Appraisal Rule does not truly provide consumers with "free" appraisals.
Competing Appraisals. The Appraisal Rule provides that applicants may pay for additional appraisals for their own use at their own cost, but is silent as to how competing appraisals must be utilized by creditors. This silence could lead to problems between applicants and creditors.
Coordination with Title XIV Rulemakings. The CFPB is currently adopting several other final rules relating to mortgage credit to implement requirements of Title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Act (the Title XIV Rulemakings), including a final rule to implement Dodd-Frank's requirements expanding protections for high-cost mortgages under the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act, which includes additional appraisal obligations. The CFPB has decided that most of the Title XIV Rulemakings will be effective January 10, 2014, and the Appraisal Rule will be effective shortly thereafter, on January 18, 2014. Although the CFPB notes that the interaction among many of the Title XIV Rulemakings, along with the Appraisal Rule, requires the rules to be implemented together, many commenters have expressed concern over the implementation of such a large set of new requirements at the same time.

Thiruvananthapuram: The Indian Medical Association, Kerala branch, on Monday urged the Government to order a detailed investigation into the source of HIV infection in Reshmi, the two-year-old child who died after a prolonged battle with the dreaded disease.
In a pressnote issued here, IMA state secretary R.Ramesh said it would require further scientific evaluation to identify the source of infection and allay the concerns over the safety of blood transfusion. The pressnote said the Medical College blood bank from where Reshmi had received blood for transfusion, had followed the prescribed protocol to ensure safe blood.
Dr. Ramesh said Reshmi's infection could be a case where the donor was in the window period when the routine test shows negative results. He said extra sensitive tests could be used to detect HIV infection in the window period. usion.
The District Collector N. Ayyappan visited Reshmi's parents at their house near Pachalloor and consoled them. He was accompanied by the Village Officer.

OUTDOORS: Trout and colorful trees entice angler to Sierras
The long hot summer has been quite the talk among High Sierra veterans, who were surprised by the lack of fall weather. Despite the aspens starting to turn color, temperatures in the high country still hovered in the 70s-to-80s earlier this week and most of the bigger fish were seeking relief in cooler, deeper waters.
That has all changed.
The first major cold front of fall has swept south, bringing a 35-degree drop in temperatures and hopefully the start of the much-anticipated fall trout feeding frenzy. In two days of fly fishing this week, I was able to catch and release 23 brook trout. But almost nothing would bite during the heat of midday.
By Tuesday, I was enjoying the comfort of my rental cabin at June Lake as high winds buffeted the canyon. I'm not sure if the chattering blue jay in the pine tree just outside my window was trying to coax me outside or was just blaming me for the dramatic change in weather.
The fall color show is underway, with colors already peaking at elevations above 9,000 feet and high winds quickly stripping the aspens of their color.
Still, there are at least another week-to-10 days of spectacular hues ahead, as cooler temperatures accelerate the seasonal changes.
Crowds are light, and most campgrounds are still open. But check before you go, as many services, especially at higher elevations are closing for the season. The cafe and boat rental operation at popular Saddlebag Lake in the Tioga Pass area east of Yosemite shut down Monday. Jared Smith at Parcher's Resort and South Lake Landing in Bishop Creek Canyon said he will be closing for the winter in mid-October.
This is a great time to work the streams just behind the bigger lakes if you are hoping to catch that trophy brown trout. The brown move up into the creeks to spawn, giving trout hunters their best chance at success.
The Eastern High Sierra trout season continues until Nov. 15, but be prepared for weather if you are planning a late-season trip.
Lake Cuyamaca
Fall brings changes to operations at Lake Cuyamaca, including new hours and the ability of visitors to use kayaks and canoes.
Lake manager Georgia Martin said lake hours are 6 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. for shore fishing. The big news is that until Nov. 1, kayaks and canoes are allowed on the lake and the charge for washing boats has been lowered to $5. Boats must be washed prior to launch to prevent the spread on invasive quagga mussels. The launch fee remains $5.
Jess Ranch stocked 1,700 pounds of rainbow trout last week, and milder temperatures are expected to open up the fall bite. Martin said the best lures are crappie jigs and Roostertails and the dependable baits are nightcrawlers and Power Bait. Pumphouse Cove, Lone Pine Point and areas around the island are the current hot spots, but check with rangers for current conditions.
The lake staff offers a free fishing class at 10 a.m. every Saturday at the launch ramp. For additional information or to reserve camping or cabin space, call 877-581-9904.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Concentric Medical, Inc., the global leader in devices for clot removal in ischemic stroke patients, today announced its plan to sponsor a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing intervention using the Merci Retrieval System(TM) with best medical therapy.
A steering committee comprised of clinical experts from around the world has agreed to support and help guide the trial, named RETRIEVE (Randomized trial of Endovascular TReatment of acute Ischemic strokE Versus mEdical management). The trial, which will enroll in centers throughout the world, will randomize patients between treatment with the Merci Retriever(R) and non-interventional, best medical therapy. Enrollment is expected to begin in 2009.
"We believe a positive randomized trial will significantly improve patient access to interventional technologies, augment the body of evidence, and support a collaborative and comprehensive approach by all clinicians involved in the stroke care chain. Despite a large body of clinical data and over 9,000 patients treated with the Merci Retriever thus far, mechanical intervention is still only used in a very small percentage of stroke cases today," said Maria Sainz, CEO of Concentric Medical.
The Merci Retriever is made with a flexible, shaped Nitinol wire that allows delivery of the Retriever in linear form using standard catheterization techniques. A neurointerventionalist makes a small puncture in the groin to introduce the Merci Retriever into an artery leading to the brain. The Merci Retriever returns to its original shape when deployed in and around the blood clot in the brain.
About Concentric Medical
Concentric Medical is located in Mountain View, California, and was
founded in August 1999. The company manufactures and markets the Merci

The bands were adjudged by Palash Sen of Euphoria, Subir Malik of Parikrama and professional talent scout Vibhav Rao of EMI.

Latest Southern Ocean Stories
A New Zealand research team has produced data that could improve predictions of climate change, after discovering sea ice extended further north in the Southern Ocean during the last Ice Age than scientists previously thought, Reuters reported.
An experiment to study the effects of naturally deposited iron in the Southern Ocean has filled in a key piece of the puzzle surrounding iron's role in locking atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ocean.
Anti-whaling activists temporarily called off their operations to disrupt Japanese whaling around Antarctica earlier this month.
Intensifying winds in the Southern Ocean have had little influence on the strength of the Southern Ocean circulation and therefore its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
A recent study has found that the Southern Ocean has proved more resilient to global warming than previously thought and remains a major store of mankind's planet-warming carbon dioxide.
Researchers found many of the world's deep-sea octopuses evolved from a common ancestor that still exists in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean.
A genetic study of a fish that lives in the icy waters off Antarctica sheds light on the adaptations that enable it to survive in one of the harshest environments on the planet.
Experts reported on Friday that the amount of sea ice around Antarctica has grown in recent Septembers in what could be an unusual side-effect of global warming.
By CREAN, Mike From primers to post-graduate students, George Knox taught at every level of formal education in New Zealand. But the University of Canterbury Emeritus Professor of Zoology was most acclaimed for his research.

By JEFF ROBERTS
EAST RUTHERFORD—The panic began to swirl around East Rutherford before the ink had even dried on Steve Smith's contract with the Eagles.
The receiver seemed to have been stolen away by Philadelphia, just the latest item on their "Dream Team" wish list crossed off as if the Eagles had gone shopping at the supermarket.
The talking heads asked the same apparently-unanswerable question: Who will Eli Manning throw to? Who can replace Smith?
Victor Cruz had an answer: Me.
And the Paterson native began to prove it in his breakthrough performance—the Giants' 29-16 victory in September over the Eagles in Philadelphia.
"Early on, that was our biggest question mark going into the season. Once everyone found out Steve was leaving, [they asked] 'Can we replace him? Or do we have the personnel on our team to replace him?'" Cruz said.
"But I think once I came through and started doing some good things, starting off with that Philly week and moving forward, I think all of those questions kind of got answered."
The loss of Smith almost has been forgotten as he returns to the Meadowlands on Sunday night with the Eagles for the first time since leaving the Giants.
His departure seems like ancient history now with Cruz, an undrafted, second-year player out of Massachusetts leading the team with 672 receiving yards. Cruz also is tied for the team lead with 40 catches and four touchdown receptions.
And last week when the game was on the line against the 49ers, Manning looked for him in the final seconds, not Hakeem Nicks.
It all started in Philadelphia in Week 3 when Cruz had three catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
His first score came when he caught a first-quarter pass, slipped a Kurt Coleman tackle then made Coleman and Nnamdi Asomugha collide trying to bring him down before finishing off his 74-yard touchdown.
It was punctuated by his now-famous salsa dance, which he broke out in celebration of his Puerto Rican heritage and in honor of his grandmother.
Then in the fourth quarter, he outjumped and outmuscled Asomugha and Jarrad Page at the goal line for a 28-yard touchdown that gave the Giants the lead for good.
"Those guys are highly-touted guys. Nnamdi is coming off that contract," Cruz said. "They had all the hoopla going into the game with them. We understood that. …
"And I surprised myself, but I've been seeming to surprise myself every week."
Cruz has not only emerged as a legit NFL threat, but also has taken the league by force with his big plays, enthusiasm and salsa dance.
And while his legend may have begun in his very first game, an epic preseason opener last season against the Jets in which he scored on his first professional play, his real breakthrough came against the Eagles.
"I wanted to do something in the regular season when it counted and it goes on our record," he said. "It was some different emotions. But the one in the regular season was a little bit sweeter."
There had been doubts.
Cruz had dropped a sure first down in the season-opening loss to the Redskins. He had just two catches the next week in a victory over the Rams, a win overshadowed by the loss of Domenik Hixon.
"I left those games behind me," Cruz said.
He added: "Once I started making some plays and doing some stuff, I just got comfortable and felt like I belonged. I used that confidence to springboard me into the next week, and my confidence has been high since then."
Cruz also has managed to sidestep disaster after disaster.
There was the play in Arizona in which he just left the football on the field despite not being downed by contact. But he was saved when the officials ruled he declared himself down, a judgment call that could not be reviewed. The Giants would win that game, with the play newly christening the byelaw, "the Victor Cruz Rule."
Then there was the fumble he had last week against the 49ers that the Giants were allowed to keep because officials said Cruz's forward progress had stopped and whistled the play dead.
And most seriously, the fatal shooting at a Manhattan nightclub early Tuesday morning in which Cruz and his group escaped unharmed. Cruz and his friends were not involved and occupied a separate part of the Juliet Supperclub.
Yet Cruz remains humble, saying that he looks forward to seeing Smith, who he patterned himself after last season as a rookie.
"He was one of the guys, because we played the same position, he was one of the guys I used to look just to emulate," he said. "He went to a Pro Bowl, so I always looked up to him to see what he was doing, to copycat that a little bit.
"I definitely use some of this stuff, but I won't tell him that though."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Thread: CHOW #349 :: The Blade Dancer
March 23rd, 2014 #1
CHOW #349 :: The Blade Dancer
Character of the Week #349
The Blade Dancer
Deadline - Sunday, April 6th 10PM GMT
The world of entertainment is a vast one. Everything from dare devils to magicians, there is an almost endless stream of entertainers. But for the most part, these are all simple or just a trick or illusion. There is one entertainer who uses the art of a beautiful, seductive dance mixed with the use of deadly blades. This dance of the blades has a symbolic of beauty and danger. The blades range from all kinds of different sizes and styles. Swords, daggers, axes, you name it. But each blade represents a theme of the dance.
The Guidelines:
- Can be male or female
- Must be human or a typical fantasy race (Elf, dwarf, gnome, etc. Look up playable races in D&D as a guide to this)
- Don't go crazy with too many different blades Stick to 2 or 3 at the most. There is an underlying theme to the use of each one as described.
- Full nudity is not a character design and will not be accepted into the poll.
- Background is optional this week
The Rules
- Finals must be posted in the finals thread before the deadline
- Final post must include the CHoW # and the artists username at the bottom of the image within, at least, a footer bar(TYPED, NOT WRITTEN)
- At least 3/4 of the character must be visible. No back views are allowed without a front please.
- Sketches or rushed artwork will not be accepted into the poll
- No photograph paint overs, must be 100% original work
- At least two wips posted with your final in the finals thread
- NO ENVIRONMENT BACKGROUNDS! You may use simple shapes,gradients or silhouettes
- Please read through the thread for any posts made by the mod. They likely answered a question that was asked about the challenge!
- Have fun!

Wow. What a topic full of so much potential. I like the slight constraints - if I don't have a few specifics I just can't get started! We'll see if I can finish another one of these. It sounds too beautiful to pass up this time, too, but metal/weapons are my weakness. Question - can it be a pair dancing together?
I don't know whether to lean towards playful or lustful, but I know I'm not considering powerful or sad anymore and that I do like the idea of using one huge sword at least. Or maybe my character is just that "little".

I wanted to do a character with a blade held in her tail as well as both hands, are there any "typical" fantasy races that have a tail? I didn't want to be disqualified for picking something too obscure. At the moment my character is a dark elf and is holding a sabre and a shuriken.
Here is my (tail-less) design so far, I'm going for a big ball gown outfit so I can have lots of fun with ruffles and layers.

March 25th, 2014 #6
1st one I've done in eons! I guess the point of this blade dancer CHOW is to come up with something that has a different pose to the norm and to try and illustrate some movement in the character. So I've gone for a dancing ninja stripper, who as they perform their dance slowly unravels the cloth around them through acrobatic swordplay eventually revealing their nakedness(!). Obviously need to inject color and texture to what I have so far. As well as fiddle with a few elements, add some bits and come up with a nice hair-do. But any constructive criticism, tips or pointers will be (as always) welcomed. Ta
March 25th, 2014 #7
@JayZii: Thanks a lot dude! I also did one girl blade dancer and the 1st dude in different pose, but I think I'll go for the last one; something about slim guy working his tiny blades does it for me
And there's something about the hair, I guess it gets messy and wild the more they dance!
I can already smell this one will be hell of a fun to do!
@VeriVeri: I really like first one where she balances the blade on her chest, rawr!

Moirae: a tail is fine I suppose.
Danbot386: Excellent analysis of the meaning behind this one. Of course, everyone is welcome to do a generic pose, but it is an opportunity to explore dynamic poses. My recommendation is to really push the detail with yours. As entertainers, their outfits should be quite nice as well. Include some trinkets/jewelry perhaps? Put some nice detail into those cloth strips too. Other than that, keep at it, looking good so far.

There are many races in DnD(though all aren't humanoid), I am sure one of these races in this link will fit what you want and the CHOW rules http://www.pathguy.com/cg35.htm

March 25th, 2014 #13
@mugenTaichou Thanks! I like that one, too. But like Danbot386 said, this is definitely the time to push dynamic poses. I'm going to have to see how I can keep that with her while testing out her flexibility. Or go for the more playful ones who can balance on the edge of a standing sword. That would be a fun one to use an animal-based fairytale creature, like a cat or monkey. I just have the idea of incredible feats of dangerous balance in my mind for this one - its about the only clear thought I have right now. Not a lot of big motion, but plenty of holding your breath, slow dancing entertainment!
@Danbot386, I can see your character strategically cutting away their outfit, too...
@Scutterback thanks for the link! It's really helping me out. I don't know what an "air mephling" looks like other than it's classified as humanoid and sounds perfect, so I suppose now would be a great time to work that out for myself.

Quick gestures with costuming ideas thrown over them. I think I'm going to leave this alone for the rest of today and see what else I come up with tomorrow.
March 26th, 2014 #21
I've had literally sod all to do today and this is what happened while watching the second season of 24. I was kind of thinking that the cloth could show a story that (in my mind as I imagine it in motion) becomes animated and told through the dance. And as @VeriVeri mentioned, bit's of the cloth get sliced off during the performance, climaxing with the slaying of the dragon(s) that is across the top half there. Does any of that make sense?
Still a few bits and details to add/remove/refine, but I've added a bit of post processing to this WIP to make it a little more warm and fuzzy, and just to see what it would look like. Anyway, there it is .
@VeriVeri I think top middle (with a hint of the top left sketch) or bottom middle would be a winner if you haven't picked one yet.
March 27th, 2014 #22
Great work so far everybody.
VerVeri, I am loving those sketches, can't wait to see your final.

My first time doing the CHOW! here it is my first approach:
March 27th, 2014 #27
Fun, dynamic poses all over in here. Good work everyone.
Schraverus: I think the top two variations flow the best between the pose and the weapons. Nice colors, too.
Another feathered dancer and her Tiefling friend have entered the troupe. I've never played D&D, but Tieflings seem like an interesting race to design characters for. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

@m_ligeti: I really like your pose, great work on constructing that, seems like a hard pose to draw.

Gah my pose is not so dynamic sadly, I was struggling with it for a bit.

there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

This, from my youngest son (step), made my day:
"Happy Fathers Day, to the man who didn't have to be my father, but chose to be a great one! I love you. "
Then his older brother echoed the words.
What better Father's Day could a man ask for?

My little world was disrupted when I was eleven. My mother and father survived the Great Depression, but when WW2 began, and they both got jobs,
they also both began to play around. My father lost his patience, and they separated. Both had new mates already picked out, and they began living with them even before their divorce was final. My father got custody of me and my oldest sister who was two years younger than me. My mother got the younger two, but her new companion didn't care for kids, so a couple of years later my dad and his new wife had the four of us back together again. This story is about my oldest sister and me during the two years we were together.
Dad;s new paramour was only 17 and when her folks finally caught up with her a few months after she moved in, they made her come back home, and forbid her from seeing my dad. She managed to meet him on the sly regularly, but her parents wouldn't agree to let her live with him until six months laater.
This story is about those six months. I was eleven, and my sister was almost nine.
My dad got a second-rate makeshift apartment in a building that had been a multiple family residence. The three of us had the basement apartment. Because my dad's legal fees had tapped him dry along with the cost of his entertaining the new gal, he had taken on a night job. As a result, my sister and I were alone after school until he returned home late.
Because I was the oldest, I was placed in charge, and did most of the cooking, and enjoyed the new responsibilities. At first, things went alolng smoothly, and there was no serious friction. In fact, since there was no TV then, the nightly radio scheduling was directed at adults after five p.m. We found that we enjoyed basic games like cards, Monopoly, and a few others. It got us through the lonely hours. There was no problem with "sibling rivalry" issues. It was well-established that I was the oldest, and "in charge" when our father wasn't around. We got off to a good start, but problems did develop after a few weeks.
We established a good routine at first, but inevitably the routines became boring. In retrospect, I believe my sister's boredom exceed mine, because she became quite careless with her "display." We had a shortage of furniture, so we played our games on the floor. It was a different disposition than we were used to in playing cards or board games. It took me a week to notice as she sat facing me, her legs were spread, and her underpants were in full view. No big deal, since little girls' panties were not very "feminine," and were in full view as children played. But, when a little girl was sitting with legs spread apart on the floor, there were occasional views of the vaginal and anal areas. Those views were so common, they didn't cause any problems with little boys.
About two weeks after we began those acdtivities, my sister occasionally played with no panties at all when she was wearing longer dresses. When I began to view these displays, I was in rapt attention. I had never seen a bare vagina before, except brief glimpses when my sisters were involved in baths. Those viewings were so brief, there was no time for "study." Since I had total and steady viewing sitting on the floor facing her, it was a "new wonder" that for some reason fascinated me. She probably caught on to my stares after the second time she did it, and closed her legs, blushing. "You're NOT supposed to look!" she compolained.
However, a few days later, she began to display almost every night, and my curiosity became more and more intense. Initially, when she would notice my distractdion, she'd close her legs. But, when I caught on to her "defense," and purposely didn't look, she'd get even bolder in her display by hiking her dress. In short, I concluded she enjoyed the attention..
Things accelerated from that point. I had heard my male friends talk about what parents did in bed. A couple of them had bragged graphically what their parents did. Those stories fascinated me, especially after viewing the female genitalia so much of late, even though it was a course I knew nothing about, other than when I had heard.
In the meantime, my sister had become more bold, and was very cooperative in letting me view her nudity. I verbally expressed that I appreciated her letting me enjoy my viewings, telling her how nice and sweet she was. As a result, when my new plan was put into motion, she was very cooperative, and my next plan began. Since I had advanced closer and closer to her vaginal area, the next phase was easy. I reached over and touched the lips of her vagina. She jumped the first time, and tried to object, but didn't object.
I reached between the two lips, and began to lightly stroke, as I had heard the older guys brag. She shuttered, and said almost apologetically,"I don't think you're supposed to do that."
"Does it hurt?" I asked, a bit timidly.
"No. I don't think so."
"Do you want me to stop?"
"No. It's okay. Do it a little more."
So I continued and increased the depth of my journey. She began to react with little shudders, and rise to my penetration, and I pressed deeper into her vagina. She began to meet each stroke, and indicating she wanted more pressure by rising to my invading finger.
"Is .. is that . . . does it make you feel good?" I asked, without missing a stroke.
"Oh, yes!" she almost shouted as she raised her body to my caressing finger invasion.
At this point, her vaginal juices were flowing, and she was almost bouncing to each of my strokes.
All of a sudden, she rose to my invading hand, and pulled on my back with her free hand. She began to shudder, and she grabbed and held on to me.
It was a scary moment for me. I wasn't sure what was happening.. With great concern, I asked her if she was okay, but she wouildn't answer. She just oaid there looking at the ceiling.
I was scared! I thought she was having a fit.
I took my invading fingers away, and I smelled an aroma I had never had before.
She just continued to lie there, staring, and it caused me to worry a bit. I asked her quietly, but almost in panic if I had hurt her. At first she wouldn't answer, bit then reached over and patted my leg. "That was really good, brother! I liked it a lot."
"Would you like some more?" I asked in anticipation. I wanted to try for the brass ring.
"No, I've got to change nightgowns before Dad gets home. And right now I stink a little."
"Okay," I replied, "But I wanna **** you soon. Would you let me?"
"Yes," she replied readily.
Two nights later, we were alone again, and it was readily agreed we would enjoy adult pleasure to the max.
We got naked, and crawled into bed together. Once again, my fingers penetrated, and I found her quite lubricated. I crawled on top of her, and was just placing my joy stick into her ready vagina when our dad walked in. He was very upset, and lectured each of us separately. He scared hell out of me and my sister, and even though I tried several times, we never went at it again.
Two years laater, my other sister who later admitted she had heard what happened from the older sister, begged me to teach her what I had the other. I didn't want to get involved with that kind of situation again, but she bugged me for nearly a month - but only after I had made damn sure there would be no discovery. As it turned out, she was even better than the oldest sister, and we explored pleasures that were never equaled by any other woman with me.
All this happened more than sixty years ago, but I'll remember those joys to the end.,

DAVID HAYE will make short work of Audley Harrison when the pair clash at the MEN Arena, Manchester, on Saturday, according to the betting on Betfair. WBA champion Haye is the big odds-on favourite at 2-11 to successfully defend his heavyweight world title.
Ten years on from his gold medal success at the Sydney Olympics, Harrison finally has the title shot he has craved. But odds of 5-1 suggest the 39-year-old Londoners championship bid will come up short.
The Hayemaker, undefeated as a heavyweight, is odds-on at 1-3 to triumph by means of a knock-out, while the 30-year-old is available at 7-1 to win the bout by referees decision. Challenger Harrison can be backed at 13-2 to KO the champ, while he is a 28-1 chance for victory by decision.
Betfairs Alex Bake said: The betting has been tremendously one sided in favour of Haye, which shows the fans are backing the champ over the chump.
To win Haye vs. Harrison Betfair bet: 2-11 Haye, 5-1 Harrison, 74-1 Draw
Method of victory Haye vs. Harrison Betfair bet: 1-3 Haye KO, 7-1 Haye decision, 13-2 Harrison KO, 28-1 Harrison decision, 74-1 Draw or Technical Draw

Urban planner
His work on the fair had developed in Burnham a keen interest in parks and city planning. He believed that an improved urban environment could provide a positive transformative experience for its inhabitants. Burnham's first opportunity to put his ideas in action (he had set forth his ideas to no avail earlier in Chicago) came in 1901, when he became the de facto chairman of the Senate Park Commission, also called the McMillan Commission (for Michigan's U.S. Sen. James McMillan, who was chairman of the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia). Burnham invited his friend McKim and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. (son of the famous landscape architect with whom Burnham had worked on the fair), to join him in re-envisioning and enlarging Pierre-Charles L'Enfant's original 1791 plan: they undertook much of the actual work. Under Burnham's leadership and based on precedents in Paris and especially Rome, the team envisioned a grand, ordered national capital to reflect America's status as an emerging world power. Their plan for the capital city included a comprehensive park system and redefined the National Mall and surrounding area. Burnham further conceived of Union Station, the railway station, as a formal public gateway to the city's monumental core and as a feature integral to the city plan. Upon publication the McMillan Plan received widespread attention and approval.
Fueled by the Progressive era's interest in municipal improvement, other cities requested Burnham's planning services. In 1902–03 Burnham, with architects Arnold W. Brunner and John M. Carrère, prepared for the city of Cleveland a "Group Plan" for a new downtown civic centre of Beaux Arts buildings formally arranged around a rectangular park. In 1905, under the auspices of leading private citizens organized as the Association for the Improvement and Adornment of San Francisco, Burnham devised for San Francisco a far more comprehensive plan. However, in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake, this plan was not implemented. In the meantime, Burnham's architectural practice continued to flourish. So famous had he become as a city planner that, when the Philippines were ceded to the United States after the Spanish American War, Burnham was asked by the federal government to create a "Beautification Plan" for Manila and to design an entirely new summer capital, Baguio, in the Luzon highlands. He responded by recommending the preservation of Manila's old walled Spanish city, and in both cities he utilized familiar City Beautiful components: a system of parks, a network of diagonal roadways for traffic efficiency, and a civic centre complex, formally arranged as the heart of the community.
Burnham thus brought a lifetime of experience to his masterwork, the 1909 Plan of Chicago, written with his young associate, Edward Bennett. Published by and written for the Commercial Club of Chicago, a private group of civic-minded business leaders who worked closely with Burnham on the report, the book is considered a landmark in urban planning history. It recognized the city in its context, not as an isolated collection of buildings but as an organic whole interconnected with and interrelated to its region. It encompassed a 60-mile radius that included three states and Lake Michigan. Visionary yet detailed, the plan boldly confronted the complexities of the modern industrial city and argued that solutions could be found that would improve infrastructure, relieve traffic congestion, provide open space, and enhance the physical environment in lasting, meaningful ways for its inhabitants. Reserving the lakefront as public space was one of Burnham's major concerns and one of the plan's most notable accomplishments.
Burnham and the Commercial Club members realized the importance of marketing to gain support for their ideas. To this end, the Plan of Chicago was handsomely printed and included evocative drawings of what Chicago could look like interspersed with photographs and detailed maps and graphs. It was released to the public on July 4, 1909. Civic, cultural, and educational leaders were consulted during its preparation, and a traveling exhibition of the drawings created for the project was prepared for display both in the United States and abroad. The Plan of Chicago draws on European precedents, especially on Baron Haussmann's Paris, with its broad diagonal streets, as well as on Beaux Arts concepts of balance, axiality, and symmetry. Although the Plan of Chicago received great acclaim initially, it did not take into account the enormous impact of the automobile. Some critics noted even at the time that it ignored housing and other pressing urban social issues. Burnham's unpublished draft of the Plan, however, does include a remarkable social agenda. Others since have argued that Burnham's plan represents an elitist viewpoint with an emphasis on social control and order; it is, these critics argue, too comprehensive to be fully realized and too monumental to be humane. Nonetheless, the Plan of Chicago has inspired generations of Chicagoans and others to work toward the ideal of a beautiful, efficient city.
Burnham did not see any aspect of his Chicago plan realized. Already diagnosed with diabetes, he died on June 1, 1912, of food poisoning while on a trip abroad and is buried in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago.

Final Score: Minnesota 88, San Antonio 78
Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Seimone Augustus led a balanced scoring attack with 17 points as the Minnesota Lynx took down the San Antonio Stars, 88-78, on Friday.
Lindsay Whalen scored 14 points and Maya Moore, fresh off her career-high 48 points in Tuesday's double overtime win, added a modest 12 points with eight rebounds in Minnesota's sixth straight triumph.
Six Lynx players scored in double figures and eight of the nine that took the floor netted at least six.
Danielle Robinson scored 15 points with seven assists as the Stars fell for the fourth time in five games. Jayne Appel and Becky Hammon each scored 10 points, with Appel grabbing a game-high 12 rebounds and Hammon handing out nine assists.
The Stars led by eight early on but saw their lead fall to just two, 17-15, after the first quarter. From there it was all Minnesota, which took control early in the second and never trailed the rest of the way.
Whalen's short bank shot with 4:04 to play gave the Lynx a commanding 82-66 lead, and they cruised the rest of the way.

Manchester: A British zoo on Wednesday announced the virgin birth of five Komodo dragons, giving scientists new hope for the captive breeding of the endangered species. In an evolutionary twist, the newborns' 8-year-old mother, Flora, shocked staff at Chester Zoo in northern England when she became pregnant without ever having a male partner or even being exposed to the opposite sex. ``Flora is oblivious to the excitement she has caused but we are delighted to say she is now a mum and dad,'' said a delighted Kevin Buley, the zoo's curator of lower vertebrates and invertebrates. The shells began cracking last week, after an eight-month gestation period, which culminated with arrival on Tuesday of the fifth black- and yellow-coloured dragon. The dragons are between 40 and 45 centimetres long, weigh between 100 and 125 grams, said Mr. Buley, who leads the zoo's expert care team. He said the reptiles were in good health and enjoying a diet of crickets and locusts. Other reptile species reproduce asexually in a process known as parthenogenesis. But Flora's virginal conception, and that of another Komodo dragon in April at the London Zoo, are the first documented in a Komodo dragon. The evolutionary breakthrough could have far-reaching consequences for endangered species. AP
