Humiliated By Wife and Relatives

Humiliated by Wife and Relatives
By WimpHub
Chapter 1
My wife Sandy was 18 when we married. She bears a striking resemblance to Drew Barrymore, with her blonde hair and great figure. At 5'4" she is just an inch shorter than me, but I am much slighter. I was twenty when I met and fell for Sandy, and knew I wanted to marry her immediately.
I arranged the marriage as soon as possible, as I did not want to lose her. My previous experience with girls had been unsuccessful, with all my girlfriends laughing at or belittling my small cock. It was for this reason that I did not have sex with Sandy before the wedding, telling her I wanted it to be special.
After our marriage, Sandy did begin to mention the smallness of my member, having had some sexual experiences before me. At first she would jokingly call me little dick in a joking manner, but as her dissatisfaction grew, she began to taunt me more and more, calling me a pathetic wimp who is totally useless to her.
Matters came to a head one Friday evening after I returned from work. She told me in a matter of fact way that she had taken a lover who could fully give her everything she needs. She went on to tell me that we were going out to a club that night, and that I would meet him. I could not take all this in, and told her that I did not want her to sleep with anyone else, and certainly did not want to meet this man.
"You have no choice," she snapped. "If you don't come with me, Dan and a couple of his friends will come and drag you there."
Her tone and what she said got me a little worried, and I thought it best to agree to go but with much trepidation.
When we arrived at the club, my wife pointed out a tall muscular black man, who was talking to a couple of friends at the bar.
"That's Dan," she said proudly. "He's the one who has been fucking me for the last two weeks. Come on, we will go and say hello."
We approached the three men, and Sandy threw her arms around her new lover, kissing him passionately for a long time before introducing me to him.
"Another white wimp whose wife needs black cock to satisfy her," he sneered looking me up and down. The three men laughed together with my wife, as my face reddened with embarrassment and humiliation.
"Your wife has told me she prefers me in bed," Dan went on. "So we are playing by my rules now. I have her whenever I want, and I decide when and if you get to fuck her yourself. Do you understand?"
"You had better say yes pussy," added my wife. "And don't allow him to have me too often Dan, he is absolutely fucking useless with his puny little body and tiny dick." More hilarious laughter from my wife and the three men.
Dan went on to explain to me that he and seven friends got great pleasure from cuckolding white wimps with their more than willing wives, and that they had built up a stable of eight women including my wife. He went on to say that in future my wife would be fucked not only by him, but by all seven others at various times. He finished by saying that we were now going back to our house, and that he would fuck Sandy in our bed watched by me. My head was spinning with all this information, but my wife just grinned triumphantly at me.
When we got back to our house, Dan took us straight up to the bedroom and ordered us both to strip while he removed his own clothes. He looked at my naked form and laughed out loud.
"Fuck me, Sandy no wonder you were so keen to take my cock. Look at him, I know white men are smaller but that must be the smallest I have ever seen," laughed Dan.
"Yes," agreed my wife. "You can see I wasn't exaggerating!"
"Right you stand there," he said to me. "And I will show you how your wife wants and needs to be treated." Then turning to Sandy:
"On your knees, cunt and take my cock in your hand."
My wife took his massive cock, and began to stroke it to erection. Automatically, she began to suck on it. Dan pulled her head away, and slapped her face.
"Did I tell you to suck it yet?" he barked.
"No Sir," she replied meekly. She was breathing heavily now, obviously aroused by his treatment of her.
"Just tell me whose slut you are now."
"I'm your slut Dan, and whore to anyone else you order me. I promise to do anything you tell me, and do anything in bed for you and your friends."
"That's better. And what about your husband?"
"He is unimportant now, if you tell me never to touch him again, or let him fuck me I would be very happy."
Dan smirked, and ordered him to begin sucking. She did an expert job on him, kissing the head, licking up and down the shaft and sucking his big balls before taking as much of him in her mouth as she could. Then she sucked him loudly, like a cheap whore clearly enjoying the experience. She went on for a long time; I had only ever got a few seconds from her. I began to feel a knot of jealousy in my stomach at the pleasure she was giving another man.
"Perhaps I should just shoot in your mouth and go home," Dan said finally.
"Oh please no Sir," Sandy said in a panic. Please let me have your big black cock in my cunt, I need it so badly. Besides, I want the wimp to see you fuck me. I want to see the hurt in his eyes when he knows how much pleasure you give me."
Suddenly, Dan dragged her to her feet, and threw her on the bed. Taking her legs, he placed one over each shoulder and put his cock to the entrance of her pussy. He commanded me to kneel by the bed, so that I would get a good view of him entering my wife.
He rammed into her, causing a loud gasp, a mixture of pain and pleasure.
"Oh yes," she cried. That's what my unfaithful young pussy needs, a big black cock. Fuck me hard lover; show him you are the Master. Give me the sort of orgasms he couldn't possibly achieve before you fill my belly with your beautiful cum."
Dan pounded her for an age, bringing sounds and language I had never heard from her, before tensing and spewing his juice deep inside her. As he did this, she screamed out her orgasm and her undying love for him. This was the worst part of my evening, and brought a lump to my throat. After he withdrew, he grabbed my head and dragged it to my wife's sopping pussy.
"This will be your job every time your wife receives a dose of black cum," he told me. "Get sucking, and don't stop until she is clean."
I did as I was told, of course and when I had finished Dan began to dress. He then explained to me that I would be allowed to fuck Sandy once a week for the time being, but I was to use a condom, as she was only to receive black cum inside her from now on. He further said that I was not to try and kiss her, and that she would not touch or suck my cock before penetration. These fuck nights of mine were to coincide with when he or his friends had fucked her, so that I would always have to suck her clean first. Sandy smiled broadly at these conditions.
Dan then left, and Sandy and I went to bed with me under strict instructions not to jerk off, no matter how frustrated by the night's proceedings.
Chapter 2
The next night I got home, and Sandy told me that Dan had phoned and she had to go to his place for the evening. She then went upstairs to get ready. When she came down a little later, she asked me how she looked. She was wearing a tiny black dress that showed most of her tits and all but the top of her thighs. The outfit was completed with fishnet stockings and black high-heeled shoes. She wore thick makeup and bright red lipstick, something she never normally used. I told her that, quite honestly, she looked like a whore.
"That's good," she replied. "If I am to be the slut of Dan and his friends, I should look like one shouldn't I?" With that she left.
The pattern was the same for the next ten days, with me cleaning her thoroughly when she got home. I was allowed my short, mechanical unexciting fuck at the end of that time. After that finished, Sandy informed me that that was to be my last fuck, and I had to use my own hand for the time being. Her use of the words "for the time being" had me worried.
A week or so after that, my wife informed me that we were both to go to Dan's place that evening, and that I should be prepared for a busy time.
When we got to Dan's, I was shocked to see my mother and my elder sister Jane sitting side by side on the sofa. I asked them what they were doing there.
"Oh we wouldn't miss this for the world" my mother replied.
"No," added Jane with a wicked smirk. "Because we know exactly what is going to happen tonight!"
I should explain that Jane and I have never really got on, and I know that she has had no respect for me since we grew up often calling me a wimp or pansy to my face.
Dan called upstairs, and two tall black men came down, totally naked. They were followed by two equally naked white women. I recognised them as two wives who lived in our neighbourhood. The two women sat together on the other sofa, and spread their legs.
"I will explain tonight's entertainment," my sister said to me. "You see I am one of the white wives in Dan's stable, and your brother in law John has already experienced what you will go through tonight. I introduced Sandy to Dan when she came over and told mother and I how inadequate you are in bed. We both agreed that your wife deserved better, and she has been more than satisfied ever since, as you have witnessed. Your first task is to prepare the two ladies for the gentlemen to fuck them."
She nodded to one of the men, who ordered me to strip. When I was naked, there was universal laughter at my little cock.
"Jane and I did try to warn you that Michael was a poorly endowed little wimp," my mother remarked adding to my humiliation. "He deserves to be punished for deceiving you."
Sandy agreed, and I was forced to kneel between the legs of a plump 40-year-old woman named Sheila and begin lapping at her pussy. As I was doing this, my wife commented how lucky I was to have the opportunity of licking other women's pussies with her approval. My sister assured her that although I had got a hard on, I would not be able to fully enjoy the foreplay I was performing.
"Don't forget to lick their arseholes," advised my mother. "In case the boys want to fuck them anally."
When I had finished on Sheila, I got between the legs of the other woman, who was a redhead called Ann aged about 22. She was generally slim, except for the fact that she seemed a few months pregnant. As I began my task of getting her wet for sex, it was obvious that both women had deliberately ignored their personal hygiene for some time in anticipation of receiving my tongue. I completed the job with great distaste, gagging on several occasions.
Moving away from Ann, I was shocked to be grabbed by the hair by Jason, the man who ordered me to strip, and my face pulled towards his erect cock. He ordered me to open wide, and forced about six inches of cock into my mouth causing me to gag again.
"Oh I wasn't expecting that," squealed my wife. "We are going to turn him into a cock sucking faggot as well, are we?"
"Yes," smiled Jane. "He will be sucking many more cocks before he is finished."
When Jason was sufficiently hard, I was handed over to Robert to get him ready. Then both men gave the women a fucking equally as efficient as the one I had seen Dan give my wife.
"Now clean the ladies nicely," said Jane in a sweet tone.
I got back between Sheila's legs and got to work. As I did so, I heard her comment that she loved when the husbands were made to clean up complete strangers, as it was so much more humiliating for them. As I moved over to clean Ann, Jane made a point of letting me know that it would not be long before my wife would be in the same pregnant condition. She also mentioned that she herself was two months pregnant.
By now the men had had a rest, and Jane said I was to suck them again. This time she told me to keep sucking until I received the cum direct from their balls. I put their cocks covered with a mixture of cum and cunt juice back into my mouth and sucked until they had released a second load. After Robert had cum, he decided to hold the back of my head firmly and reward me with a drink, to the great enjoyment of all present.
That done, Jane came over and handed Sandy a cock cage and asked her to fit it on me.
"Not only will you not be able to fuck your wife," she said spitefully. "But you will not even be able to jerk off. On top of that you must lie next to Sandy's beautiful naked body every night with her teasing and taunting you knowing that you can do nothing to relieve the terrible frustration you will be suffering. That frustration will be made even worse by regular nights like this one. You can go home now; a few more of the boys will be over soon to give Sandy her first gang fuck. She will bring you a nice big breakfast in the morning."
"Jane, why don't you give Michael that little present you were saving for him for all the happy years you had growing up together?" asked my mother sarcastically.
"Oh yes," replied Jane and turned and brought her knee savagely up into my balls. I retched as I bent double, clutching my groin.
"Now you can sing soprano all the way home," giggled my wife, as I limped out of there contemplating my future of abuse, the derisive laughter of the assembled company ringing in my ears.

England striker Wayne Rooney believes a victory over old foes Germany would be particularly sweet.
England and Germany meet for the first time since the 2010 World Cup, with Roy Hodgson's men bidding to show that they have come a long way since that 4-1 last 16 defeat in Bloemfontein. They will also be looking to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat to Chile at Wembley on Friday night.
Rooney said: "It's nice to beat anyone, but especially the Germans. It's always nice when you beat them (German opposition).
"It's great when you beat the big teams. When we beat Brazil here (in February) it gave everybody a lift and to get the draw away at Brazil (in June) was a great result for us.
"It's important that we try to win the game but I think it's important we try to deliver what the manager wants from us on the pitch."
Put to Rooney that Germany, a side he has faced once in 87 caps, are a team England should aspire to be like, the Manchester United forward insisted his goals are higher.
"I'd rather be Spain, world champions and European champions," Rooney said.
"But they (Germany) are a great team with some good players and it will be a big test for us."
Rooney is full of admiration for Germany's players. Sir Alex Ferguson's autobiography recently detailed how Rooney asked for United to sign Mesut Ozil, who is now at Arsenal.
Ozil will be rested for Tuesday's game, but as Rooney concedes, the Arsenal midfielder is not the only dangerous player in Joachim Low's squad.
"He's a clever player," Rooney added.
"He doesn't stick to one position, he moves along the line, moves in behind the opposition and midfield and can score and assist goals.
"He's a fantastic player so it will be a test for us to deal with him.
"There's so many (good players). Thomas Muller works hard, scores goals, big goals as well.
"The biggest thing they've got is (that they are) a team. They all know their jobs and that's why they're so difficult to play against."
Rooney hopes England will show similar traits in the final international of 2013 as the World Cup draws near.
"We want to put the ideas of the manager into the game and sometimes you do a lot of it, sometimes if you are not fully focused or don't do it then you get punished," Rooney said.
"Against Chile we did some good things but they caught us by surprise with the way they played.
"That has gone now and we have to look forward to the game coming up on Tuesday.
"It will be a completely different game. It will be a game we're used to a bit more. The Germany game will be more similar to a Premier League game."

1,500 pairs of Nike Air Mag Back to the Future trainers to be sold for charity
Having celebrated the 25th anniversary of the original Back to the Future release earlier this year the timeless film franchise is celebrating a new milestone as Nike officially launch the Nike Mag trainers which featured in Back to the Future II.
Precise replicas of the kicks which caught the world's imagination in the Steve Spielberg film, 1,500 pairs of Nike Mag trainers are to go on sale via auction site eBay with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's.
The first pair of rechargeable footwear to come from Nike the Mag features the same glowing LED heel panel and electroluminescent NIKE logo in the shoe's tongue strap that appeared in the film, with five hours of glow per charge. Sadly, despite a recent patent suggesting the company was working on the technology, self tying laces do not feature.
"We wanted to translate the excitement people have for the 'greatest shoe never made' and for Back to the Future into positive action," said Nike CEO Mark Parker. He added that "the long-term objective is to raise awareness so the Foundation can achieve their goal of eradicating Parkinson's disease."
Fifty pairs of the Nike Mag trainers are to hit eBay every day for the next 10 days with the first batch of shoes going for as much as $9,000 (£5,639) per pair with 14 hours still to go. A single pair of the BTTF trainers will be sold in a private UK auction on September 18th.
What tech from Back to the Future would you most like to see enter the realms of reality? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

In 2007, NBC Universal and its now-defunct corporate sibling Vivendi Games teamed up to bring the Sci-Fi Channel's popular space opera Battlestar Galactica to downloadable platforms as a multiplayer-focused shooter. The two are giving it another go, as the rebranded science fiction network SyFy and NBC Universal are bringing Battlestar Galactica back to the online space, but this time in a more massively multiplayer form.
This week, the media company announced that it had teamed with Bigpoint on a Web browser-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the Battlestar Galactica series. Titled Battlestar Galactica Online, the game will be available through Syfy.com beginning this fall.
Battlestar Galactica Online is being codeveloped by Norwegian studio Artplant and browser-based gaming engine maker Unity. Though situated in a cross-platform Web browser, the game features full 3D graphics and sees players assuming the role of either humanity's remnants or the Cylons.
As for gameplay, Battlestar Galactica Online will include tactical space combat, exploration, and mission-based quests, which flesh out the game's overarching storyline. The game will also feature assets taken directly from SyFy's Emmy Award-winning TV show.
Battlestar Galactica Online is hardly SyFy's only venture into the gaming market of late. In 2008, the television network announced a deal with Trion Worlds to develop massively multiplayer online games that integrate with its broadcasts. Last month, SyFy entered into a joint development deal with game-publishing heavyweight THQ that sees the two collaborating on adapting existing franchises and creating new properties for cross-media use.

Ryan Dunlap
Champion of Intuition
A Few Words About Ryan
Some people dream in color.
Ryan Dunlap dreams in blueprints.
Skateboard ramps, kitchen cabinets, righteously cool websites, beer-pouring toys controlled by tweets; If there's an idea waiting to be brought to life (digitally or physically), Ryan's on it.
But that's only half the story.
Because this master craftsman is equally obsessed with how people use the things he builds — especially when it comes to his digital workshop. Whether he's hammering out ways to make a site more user-friendly or simply studying how humans and computers interact, Ryan prefers his creations with brains and beauty.
Don't think he spends all his time locked on to a computer screen though. He's just as devoted to scoreboards and religiously follows sports of all kinds, both live and via ESPN.
Ryan's also an arcade basketball fiend who, in his bio interview, challenged everyone at redpepper to test his nothing-but-net skills.
Really, Ryan? A game that combines sports and technology?
You win.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
DALLAS, May 3, 2007 Almost 200 deployed troops got a Texas-sized homecoming today as Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates joined hundreds of friends, family members and local residents to welcome them home from the Middle East for two weeks of rest and recuperation leave.
Gates took his place alongside the flag-waving, banner-carrying, chanting revelers gathered at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport's International Arrivals Terminal to meet the troops as their flight arrived from Kuwait. He shook hands with every arriving servicemember and thanked them for their service.
"These kinds of public receptions are really important," the secretary said later during a speech at the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce. "Whatever disagreements exist over the war in Iraq, we are all united in our admiration of the men and women who have volunteered to serve our nation during these challenging times."
Homecoming receptions are a daily occurrence here, part of a "Welcome Home a Hero" initiative designed to let troops know they've got the country's support.
"We want them to arrive home and know that somebody cares," said Gary Raines, a Vietnam veteran who's a regular at the homecomings. "Nobody welcomed us home, and we never want that to happen again."
"I can't think of anything more worthwhile than letting these people know that we support them," agreed Wayne Trevathan, an Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War.
Raines, Trevathan and other members of Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 90, based in nearby Denton, had plenty of company here today.
The Dallas Tap Dazzlers, a senior ladies dance group, arrived in tap shoes, fishnet stockings and sparkly red, white and blue jackets emblazoned with a Lone Star to perform for the group.
One member, Joyce Lawrence, had special reason to be excited at today's performance. Her grandson, Army Spc. Daniel Black, who's been serving in Baghdad since early November, was among the arriving troops.
"I am just so excited; I'm beside myself," Lawrence gushed. "This is a really, really wonderful day."
Nova and Tim Dea hoisted a giant "Welcome Home, Jordan!" sign as they awaited their first glimpse of their son, Army Pfc. Jordan Dea, a Fort Bliss, Texas-based soldier serving near Mosul, Iraq.
"The webcam has been awesome, but we can't wait to get our hands on him," Nova said. "We've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Kimberly Smith came dressed to the nines with a strapless sundress and fresh manicure to see her boyfriend, Army Spc. Corie Barran, walk through the arrivals gate. "This is so exciting," Smith said, apologizing as the tears she'd promised herself not to cry began to well up in her eyes.
Smith and Barran, a member of the Texas National Guard's 89th Military Police Brigade, had big plans for the afternoon. A highlight, she said, would be a surprise visit to the school where Barran's mom works.
"She knows he's coming home, but she doesn't know it's today," Smith said. "She is going to be really, really surprised."
Smith said the crowd at the airport made the day even more special. "It's just overwhelming," she said. "This is going to give them a real sense of being home and let them know that lots of people love them, not just their families."
Eleven-year-old Nicholas Haskell waited impatiently with his mother, Christina, and 15-month-old brother, Andrew, as word rang out that the soldiers' flight had arrived and the crowd burst into applause.
Nicholas said he was looking forward to celebrating his birthday, albeit it one day late, with the best gift a kid could ever have – his dad home safe. "I'll do anything to get to see my dad," he said.
The activity picked up as the crowd anticipated the troops' arrival. Lee Greenwood's "Proud to Be an American" rang through the terminal. Nineteen second graders from the Westlake Academy waved flags; an employee group from Atmos Energy held up a company banner and cheered; and a sign language choir from Dallas' Samuell High School performed.
As the first soldiers entered the terminal, the crowd erupted into hoots and hollers.
Hands extended to every soldier, along with expressions of welcome and thanks for their service. Troops beamed as they pushed their luggage carts through the gauntlet of well-wishers.
Family members flung arms around their loved ones, reveling in the long-anticipated reunions. Amid all the activity around them, sweethearts savored long, private embraces. Children buried their heads in their fathers' chests.
"This is great! It's absolutely awesome!" beamed Spc. Juan Munoz, a 1st Cavalry Division soldier who held his wife, Cynthia, closely by his side.
"I just love everybody being out here," he said. "It really shows their support. And it makes it feel so great to be home."

A four month cattle theft investigation concluded Wednesday after a Freestone County man surrendered himself to authorities.
Jackie Lynn Farish, 68, of Wortham, was indicted April 24, 2013, on third degree felony theft regarding missing livestock.
In December 2012, TSCRA Special Ranger Jimmy Dickson was contacted by a New Mexico rancher concerning a shortage of 124 head of cattle that were supposed to be bought, pre-conditioned and delivered to the victim by Farish.
An investigation by Dickson and Sergeant Clayton Aldrich, of the Freestone County Sheriff's Department, revealed that Farish had taken payment from the victim for at least 55 head of the cattle, but never purchased them. He also charged the victim thousands of dollars for feed and care for cattle that didn't exist.
Dickson praised the assistance he received from Freestone County Detective Aldrich and the Freestone County District Attorney Christopher Martin.
"Freestone County is a big ranching area, and authorities here take ranch related crimes very seriously," Dickson said.
Farish is currently in custody at the Freestone County jail on a $20,000 bond. If convicted he could receive up to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

Plate - Guy Boyd Studio, 'Bairnsdale', circa 1957 Reg. No: HT 942
- Summary:
- Plate decorated by Helen Ilich at Guy Boyd studio in East Bentleigh the late 1950s. Helen migrated to Melbourne from Croatia in 1953 with her two children, her husband already having arrived. She had always wanted to be an artist but rarely had the opportunity or parental support to pursue her passion. This continued in Australia but she found a degree of artistic outlet by working in three ceramic studios around Melbourne - Ellis, Isobel (a small independent business) and Guy Boyd's studio which she particularly enjoyed. At the Boyd studio she painted many ceramic pieces with Australian landscape and Aboriginal motifs, produced for the domestic and tourist markets. Helen later joined the Heidelberg Artists' Society and taught painting at home, producing many works of her own.
- Description:
- Ceramic plate with painted scene of Bairnsdale landscape under a blue sky. There are gum trees in the foreground and a dirt track with fields and hills in the distance.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Mrs Nina Chelleri, 2002

Recipe by Debbie Floyd
"A cheesy fruit ball to serve with crackers anytime, anyplace. I made this recipe at my parents' 50th anniversary party."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
2 (15.25 ounce) cans
fruit cocktail, drained and chopped fine
1 (5 ounce) package
instant vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup
chopped almonds
This was a wonderful recipe.
My helpful hints.
#1 Empty the fruit cocktail into a strainer and drain for a couple of hours in the refrigerator.
#2 Mix the fruit cocktail and cream cheese together first then slowly incorporate the pudding mix.
#3 Line a 1qt glass-mixing bowl with saran wrap leaving a generous amount over the edges. Spoon in the mixture and fold the saran wrap edges over the top and pat the mix down firmly.
#4 Refrigerate overnight.
Just before serving unwrap the "ball" and invert onto a 10-inch pie plate. Serve with vanilla wafers around the ball filling the pie plate.
This was a hit at my work potluck today!
I made a half recipe and it was way too much. It is really difficult for the ball to hold its shape. Probably best to serve it in a little dish, like a dip. I thought it tasted good, but doubt if I'd make it again.

I've made this for church and for work and everyone loves it. One lady said "It is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth." I got special requests for it at work. I serve it with wheat thins and pretzels. The nutty flavor of these go well with the sweetness of the dip
This was a big hit at the party I took it to. Was too soft to mold into a ball, so will probably cut down some on the fruit next time. Served it as a dip with vanilla wafers....mmmm,delicious!
This recipe takes so few ingredients. I had 3 people ask for the recipe within a half hour. You can dip anything from pretzels, crackers, or graham snacks in this dip.
Mmmm, yummy! This was really tasty. I made sure to drain the fruit enough, and I took the advice of another reviewer and pressed the fruit with paper towels right before I mixed it in with the other ingredients. I didn't have enough time to wait for this to chill to form it into a ball, but I did put it in a glass pie dish and sprinkle nuts on top. This was pretty and tasty too, perfect for a hot summer evening! I served this with 'Nilla Wafers and Graham crackers, and by the end of the evening half of it was already gone! Thanks for the super recipe!
It would not shape into a cheese ball, so I just put it into a dish. Next ime I would just add the nuts instead of trying to roll them onto a ball
My family and friends love this fruit ball. I've found it's very important that the fruit cocktail be well drained. I blot it between paper towels to remove the liquid. If too much liquid is left on the fruit cocktail the ball won't form properly.

DWTS 13 Cast Rumors – Two Tweets To Make You Wonder
So, today, we've got two tweets that make you wonder. First, check out the tweet below from Lizzie Grubman. I know two of her clients are Maks and Chynna Phillips (a rumored celebrity to be on Dancing With The Stars), but, who is the third? Could it be Maks' brother Val? If any of you know who else the third client might be, be sure to let us know in the comment section.
Also, Maks teases us again with this tweet about something being "so different".
*SIGH* Are you dying here like I am? 😯 LOL
Heidi's Note: The Maks fans say that Maks, Teddy and Val are all on their way to NYC, so it's very possible that those three are all clients of Lizzie's. As for what Maks is going to find "sooo different" – it could be that Val will be a pro, but look at his hashtag. Next chapter?? What, did they promote him to producer? 😀 Or is it a next chapter for VAL? And, as Evaine commented on Twitter – since when is Maks the blabby one?

So...it's definitely a little different.
I was designing the cover for the second book, Glassman (which is coming along spectacularly, just so you know. Gate's part is finished, and Roth and Tko are coming along...although Roth is being a little difficult, since he so loves surprises), and I realized how odd all my ideas were coming out. After talking with a few friends about it, and I realized the original idea I had wasn't working.
The problem was that it was great for collaging Gate and Roth, but Tko was left out. (Originally Tko never existed...and then I finished the manuscript and felt something was vital, and I was so curious about the proxy, I decided, "Enh, why not?"...I can tell you loads of reason why not now...ugh)
So, even though Tko side of things isn't entirely depicted here in the new cover, it doesn't exclude him altogether, so it felt a little. Also, when I changed it, Glassman's cover came along more naturally.
I'm not entirely sure if I should stick with this cover, go back the original, or come up with something new entirely. What do you guys think?

Philips please can we have a new estimated date for bug fixes and napster firmware - its 9 weeks since the last missed promised date and nearly 10 months since napster stopped working!
can we at least have the firmware with reported big fixes in the interilm?
finally i was disappointed to read this on a review site please confirm this information is incorrect
"If you contact phone or email support the techs don't even have any information about the problem --other than the entire Streamium line is now "legacy" and unsupported."
Dear jphenrick,
I have left you a PM, please check.
Kind regards,
Philips Moderation Team
@ jphenrick - may I ask, what Philips had to say to you ?
It seems very odd that Philips don´t write "in the open" but only directly to you !?!?

|Matt Shump
WALTHAM, Mass. - For his performance both in the classroom and on the soccer field, University of New Hampshire junior Matt Shump (Durham, N.H) has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Third Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Shump qualified for consideration as an Academic All-American by earning First Team All-District honors earlier this month. He was one of four America East players to be voted onto the first team in District I, which includes the New England states as well as New York.
Named one of the team's captains before the 2005 season, Shump led the Wildcats to a 9-5-3 overall record, the best record for UNH since the 2002 season. As a member of the backline, he helped New Hampshire earn a 0.57 goals against average, the lowest in the 42-year history of the men's soccer program and presently sixth-best in Division I.
Shump also contributed to the team's success on the offensive end, tying for the team lead with three assists this season. He picked up his first career point against Furman on Sept. 16 and followed that up with assists at Maine on Oct. 5 and against Hartford on Nov. 2.
Academically, Shump is a mathematics major who has appeared on the America East Fall Academic Honor Roll in both 2003 and 2004. He has twice received the Walter Weiland Award as the team's most dedicated player, and has been named to the All-Tournament Team at the 2003 UNH NIKE Fall Soccer Classic, the 2004 America East Postseason Tournament, and the 2005 UNH NIKE Fall Soccer Classic.
The Academic All-America Teams program honors 816 male and female student-athletes annually who have succeeded at the highest level on the playing field and in the classroom. Individuals are selected through voting by CoSIDA, the College Sports Information Directors of America; a 2,000-member organization consisted of sports public relations professionals for colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

Wirt Adams Raid Into Natchez Civil War Reenactment
Saturday–Sunday, November 8–9, at Historic Jefferson College.
Reenactors from around the south gather to recreate Wirt Adams' raid into Natchez. The public is welcome to attend and watch the festivities as both "Yankees" and "Rebs" reenact the battle in the "bowl." There'll be plenty of cannons and black-powder muskets firing, cavalry galloping and infantry advancing! For more information call 601-442-2901.
The reenactment is based on Confederate General Wirt Adams and his men's battle with Federal forces south of Natchez on Dec. 7, 1863. On Dec. 3, 1863, Wirt Adams brought a force of 1,069 men to the outskirts of Washington and encamped. From there, he sent scouts into Union-occupied Natchez to see if it could be taken.
They reported that there were 2,700 troops, both white and colored, and cannons guarded all the approaches and that this was too much for them to launch a successful attack on the city. Adams then made his way to Kingston, and then to Ellis Cliffs, where he was going to harass river traffic. By Dec. 6, the Federals knew of Adams' presence and sent a cavalry force of 1,500 horsemen to attack the Rebels.
Adams was informed of the forth-coming attack, and he moved first in an offense against the Yankees on the morning of Dec. 7. The Union troops were caught completely off guard, and were forced to make a hasty retreat back to their cannons and fortifications in Natchez.

Why you should comment on other people's blogsFiled under: Blogging Tips -- Jennifer Slegg @ 08:06am
Sometimes we get so focused on our own blogs that even when we are actively reading other blogs in the industry, we just end up not commenting on them, even if we have something interesting to say on it. But commenting on other blogs is a large part of any blogger's marketing strategy, especially if your blog is fairly new with a low subscriber rate. Here is why you should really be commenting on other people's blogs and how you should do it.
Become known by the blog you comment on
It can be a great way to introduce your blog to another blog in the industry you want to connect with, especially if your blog is brand new. I tend to visit all URLs from new commenters on my blog, and yes, I have subscribed to some of those feeds. And in this world with what seems like 20 gazillion active blogs, chances are I might not have found those blogs if they hadn't commented on my blog first.
You know the old saying that ads need to be seen 7 times before they generate a response from the consumer? The same thing applies to blogs. If someone sees you commenting regularly on blogs – especially multiple blogs in the same market -eventually people will get curious and click on your link to see what it is you do or write. So while that comment you left on a blog might not actually result in a clickthrough to your own blog, there is a good chance at least a few people read it and your name (or your blog name) will be in the back of their head for the next time they run into one of your comments.
Yes, you can actually get a significant amount of traffic to your blog simply by including your URL when you make a comment. And the faster you comment after the blog post goes up, the more likely people will click your link. Just make sure you are including your URL in the URL field — don't add it as a signature which can seem pretty spammy and could end up resulting in your comment being disapproved.
New Subscribers
Yes, you can get new subscribers simply by leaving comments on other's blogs. First, you have to make sure your comment is good, insightful and top quality. Anytime I come across a really good comment someone has made on a blog, it makes me interested to know what else that person has to say in their own venue. And if I find their blog quality backs up the quality of the comment, I will subscribe to their feed.
Yes, not all blogs automatically nofollow links made by those who comment. Some have requirements to make it followed, such as X number of comments or approval by the blog author, so make a note of those blogs and comment more frequently on those, especially if they are considered authority blogs in your space.
Pay Off
Some people complain it takes too much time to comment on another blog. But if you have read the article anyway, it doesn't take much time or effort to post a quick comment or response on what you read. Don't think you have to write something lengthy, even a "Yes, I had the same response when I did XYZ on my blog a few months ago" is fine. The return on the time investment is one of the best things you can do for your blog.
It is important to comment on other's blogs regardless of the popularity of your blog. But when you are starting out, commenting can be a crucial component that can actually make or break your blog. What do you think is harder? Encouraging a blogger to link to your brand spanking new blog, or getting traffic from that blog by people who read your comment there? Commenting by far! Then the traffic and links will naturally follow.

Students and local residents will no longer be able to repeat recreational courses at California Community Colleges in fall 2013 under a final change passed today by the system's Board of Governors.
In the wake of recessionary budget cuts, the new rule is designed to shift resources away from courses such as tennis and painting in order to free up funds for more basic academic classes.
Students and community members had been able to repeat a class as many as four times under previous rules governing the system's 112 colleges. Supporters of recreational courses have suggested the change would undermine student health and eliminate access to campus offerings that motivate students to remain in college. We wrote about the change in May.
The new restriction exempts students repeating courses to fulfill University of California or California State University transfer requirements, such as performing arts students who need to take theater classes each semester. It also exempts student-athletes taking courses for intercollegiate competition and those who need to repeat professional courses mandated by law.

Fatal car crash on U.S. 23 kills four, including one 'U' student
LSA freshman Heather Comstock was killed in a fatal car crash that left four others dead, one in critical condition and three injured, according to The Associated Press.
Comstock and three other Michigan teens were driving in a Toyota Prius after attending Saturday's game against Michigan State and spending the night in Ann Arbor. They were crossing the median on U.S. 23 in Livingston County, when they crashed into a Chevrolet Blazer.
Matthew Kolstoe, a 19-year-old from Okemos, and 18-year-old Sarina Seger of Williamston were also killed in the crash. Also from Okemos, Humphrey Peterson Jones, who was 18 years of age, was left in critical condition, the AP reported.
Jones is currently at the University hospital and is expected to survive, according to The Lansing State Journal.
The victims and passengers in the Chevrolet Blazer were Cynthia Skutt, 62, and Alfred King, 56, who were both from Freeport, Ohio. Three children were riding in the vehicle — aged 10, 5 and 3 years — and were all seriously injured.
When emergency responders arrived at the scene of the accident, six of the nine bodies were trapped inside their vehicles and three others were lying outside, the Detroit Free Press reported.
According to the Free Press, The Michigan Department of Transportation said yesterday they are in the midst of installing cable barriers on highways with high concentrations of traffic accidents. Barriers have been installed on I-94 in metro Detroit and on other freeways in Michigan as well.
Since the 2011 fiscal year budget has been determined, similar work planned for U.S. 23 will commence in order to avoid fatal accidents such as this one, the Lansing State Journal reported.
According to the Free Press, Holly Comstock, Heather's mother, tried to get in touch with Heather on the day of the accident, and became concerned when her daughter did not respond to her text messages and phone calls.
"I just knew something was wrong," she said in an interview with the Free Press.
In response to the accident, a Williamston vigil is planned for Seger, who was a student at Central Michigan University, Central Michigan Life reported.
At Okemos High School, a statement was read to all students about the accident during their first hour Monday, the Free Press reported. Counselors and substitute teachers were available to assist students and faculty coping with the loss.
Police are continuing to investigate the accident, the Free Press reported. Attempts have been made to find information about how fast the cars were going from data recorders in the vehicles.
University students and Okemos High School students began to post their remembrances of Comstock on her Facebook page on Monday.

Saffron Road Thai Red Curry Simmer Sauce 2 2
taste and heat is great love the flavor and the heat very good price and very easy to fix February 15, 2014
Too spicy This sauce was easy to use and tasty, but too spicy for my taste. I like spicy food and regularly order red curry dishes at Thai restaurants, but had to add a can of coconut milk to make this enjoyable to eat. The spice was just overwhelming without the coconut milk. I would not buy this flavor again, but would consider trying other flavors of this product since it is easy to use and made with quality ingredients. July 8, 2014

Read Poems by
Faire Lucas
It doesn't matter how hard I try to hide the tears
One keeps coming every minute your apart from me
Heaven is supposed to take your beloved away
Maybe we're just to not love anyone so they can stay
Can't hide my feelings though
God sure enough saw the love
Another day another life taken away
I miss you and I take it out on everybody
I wouldn't have to if at least I could bury your body
Simple is as easy as simple can be
But I should've been with you more, please
Now I wish I can take it all back
Told you everyday you're the best dog in the world
Listened to my cry even though I knew you didn't realize
That was important to me
Sitting back on the swing that was demolished
Like the twin towers, you didn't see what was comin
I can probably move on
But the truth is the thought of it is just too wrong
It's like watching a murderer come into your house
Take a knife to your family's throats and lash out
You were once my best friend
But I left you and wasn't there at the end
Simple is not that easy simple is just not
Simple would've let me be with you all the time
When I yelled you came
Helped me through my worst pains
Protected me at night
Made sure I could sleep just right
No one knows what it's like to become something we were
A dog and a human
Both sisters in their minds both girls workin for a livin
When I sang you howled back
Jumped on the trampoline and snuggled by my back
As I dreamed about what it would be like if eternity was possible
You dreamed about staying with me and nothing to make us stop, oh
And I'm sorry about the way I focused on other things
That isn't even half important to me
Too bad we couldn't have grown up at the same rate
Too bad I didn't see how much I need you until you were gone
Too bad we couldn't have made it through
Too bad I lost the only perfect thing in this world
Too bad I lost you…
Shelly I'll never forget you

In Episode 57 of Red Giant TV, our behind the scenes look at our film 'Plot Device,' I mentioned that we did the 9-minute film on a very limited budget. Nine days and over 400,000 views later (even more if you count all the bootleg sites), and we've been asked a lot about that. The film obviously has a big budget feel, and some people are skeptical.
When I told Red Giant that I wanted to make a short indie film to show off Magic Bullet Suite 11, I was given a budget of $10K to make it happen. And that's exactly what we did.
We really wanted to create the indie film experience – limited time, limited money. Red Giant spent about $9K at our end. It covered props (some built by the amazing Neil Hoppe), costumes, some actor and crew salaries, & food for cast and crew. Director Seth Worley and his team worked VERY hard to stretch the budget, and they did a great job.
FWIW – I was explicitly not allowed to go over that budget, and we actually had to scale back from the initial plan to make it work (Ex. We dropped a very funny martial arts section I REALLY wanted). Personally, I think the film is better for it.
But OK – what about equipment? Doesn't that cost money?
Our Director, Seth, had access to a lot of expensive gear – a Canon 5D MK II, a Canon 7D, not to mention lighting, camera rig, tripods…etc. I tend to not think too much about that stuff, because as an animator, I don't charge my clients by the equipment I already own and use, but by my time spent creating things for them.
However, since people have asked, here's a list of what was used on the shoot, along with Rental Costs:
It's a lot of expensive gear – if you OWN it, but, as you can see, you can rent the gear we used for under $2K, for the time in which we used it.
You saw in the Behind the Scenes episode that we also borrowed stuff from Digital Juice and Vid-Atlantic – stuff which comes to around $2K total as a purchase, but which would also be rented from a video rental company for significantly less, if you chose to use them (or something like them).
As far as paying people for their time, the $9K covered some of that. But given the limited budget, we had a true indie experience – any good indie director has friends in the industry they bargain with or get help from, for their films. Also, exploiting the undead for business, as it turns out, is a legally gray area we took advantage of. The laws are not clear if an undead American has any rights. They do enjoy their brain food, though, that's for sure.
Some of the work was volunteered by friends of mine or Seth's or by fans of Red Giant – such as the 3D modeling by Rob Redman, and the cartoon stuff at the end by Andrew Embury. I have been known to do the same on friends' cool projects. Frankly, there are plenty of hungry young animators out there that will work on a small project for minimal pay to help build their reels, and while you may not get the speed and quality of our guys, you can do fairly well if you can manage people that are new to the industry. Don't get me wrong – our guys were top notch, and did their work with talent, skill and speed – the latter of the two, newcomers are likely to not have.
To make it easier on them, we also supplemented by giving away software (as payment) to key people on the project who had to put in a lot of time. They basically gave up some money for something else that they needed. In the real world, it's the equivalent of helping someone out on their project in return for their help on ours. They work as DP on your project, and you lend them gear for theirs – that sort of thing.
The music and most of the acting was done by the Director's family and friends, like his incredibly talented brother, Ben Worley. That's the way you do it. In fact, any indie film person who is not willing to beg borrow (but hopefully not steal) from people they know to get a project done, probably isn't going to get much done.
For the most part, Seth did all the editing and VFX himself, while I helped out with color for part of it. There were no teams of editors and VFX artists cutting this thing. Seth had I license of Magic Bullet Suite 11 on his system, and that costs $799. All of the work was done on 1 system.
But let's say this film cost triple what we actually paid. Even that cannot explain away the incredible quality produced by Seth Worley in Plot Device. At the end of the day, a director, even on a limited budget, can produce amazing stuff if they have talent and the right set of tools – something we proved with Plot Device.
If you have not watched "Behind the Scenes of Plot Device," directed by Jeff Venable, do it NOW! You will learn a ton. Even I, having worked with these guys, learned a ton from it.
About working on Plot Device, and keeping the cost low, Producer (and Props Master, and actor) Neil Hoppe had this to say:
"$1670 is the full price you'd pay to rent the package we used, and that's if you don't own a single piece of gear, have any friends, or get the rental house to swing you a deal for the massive rental package. And if that's the case, maybe you should be looking for another line of work. Or start much, much smaller.
"This was a super-ambitious project with a ton of moving parts. It couldn't have been done if we didn't know what we were doing, which comes from experience. And honestly, for our team, experience working together on numerous smaller projects. It's taken Seth and I 3-4 years of working together to get to the level of comfort and communication that we have. You can't beg, borrow, buy, rent, OR steal that."
ALSO NOTE: The jeep used in the film was Seth's Car growing up, and is now Ben's. Not sure if we should add that to the cost. But Seth assures me that given it's condition, it's current value is $23.76.

Hi, my name is Spencer. If you are looking for a mature relationship, it might be me that you are searching for.
I am an 8-year-old male and a blend of all the best American breeds — an All-American melting pot if you will. I'm loyal, gentle, and faithful. I'm the sort of dog that loves to go for a walk, but is also happy sitting quietly by your side. No questions as to what my personality will be — what you see is what you get. I'm already trained, well behaved, and housebroken. Just ask anyone. Old dogs are great.
I've been at Alaqua Animal Refuge a couple of months and I've made many friends. The volunteers say I'm a joyful fellow and one of the best-behaved dogs here. They've taught me a lot and introduced me to new things. I love to play in the yard, and would do well in a family with children or other dogs. Despite my past, I'm an optimist. I am also quite the "ladies man," as I have stolen a few hearts here at Alaqua. They call me a "gentle soul" and say I would be a perfect pet. I'm definitely a people pleaser.
Please don't be nervous about my being 8-years-old. I still have a lot of living to do. Alaqua has given me a second chance and I am living everyday to the fullest. If you need a meaningful relationship, consider taking a chance on me. Come see me, ask if you can visit the charming and debonair gentleman, the one that always has a smile on his face. Who knows, it might just be you that makes my dream of having a home of my own come true.
For more information about Spencer or any other adoptable animals visit our website, www.alaquaanimalrefuge.org/FindAPet, come for a visit, or call 850-880-6399.

Good bye and god bless you this should have never happened. I hope the powers that be find out why this was not fixed for eleven years.
Eleven years!!!! I can't remember how many times I crossed that span in those years. Why hasn't the department of safety closed this bridge or just found out what it would take to repair it. When I read stories like this it makes me just shake my head in awe at the way the lowerninth has been neglected and abused, if this was Metairie or the lake front it would not have taken a death to have even a study made.
Heads should roll and jail time should be served.
Crawfish please send some,,I am in Colorado the land of no crawfish or seasoning. I would give my arm to suck heads and pinch tails.

From the Mediterranean to the Judean Desert & Jerusalem
It'd be too easy to call this trip a religious experience. Yes, on this adventure we walk through classic biblical scenery. And those moments are indescribable - full of historic and contemporary cultural elements. But to stop there is not giving this land its due. The rolling hills, lush oases, stark deserts and rugged canyons. The unworldly beauty of the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean views from intriguing Acre. Those are religious experiences of a different kind. No one goes to Israel to simply stroll through a forest and on to a canyon, but this experience is not just another trip to Israel. That would be too easy.

You have four photos on your main page that all show goofy footed groms throwing down the same exact moves in two foot surf. Are the current editors of this once acclaimed magazine retarded? Do you think your entire audience is 14 years old?
Does anyone know how to edit photographs anymore?
I am from Santa Cruz and to be honest I haven't been surfing much the last few years. This kids name came on my radar maybe 2 years ago and I had only seen some still photos of him. After seeing this video I was very impressed. Too bad the surf sponsorship gravy train has run out! But hey who gives a fuck? Surf for the fun of it Noah, you are a good representative for the "Real Surf City".
