The Y chromosome has been likened to a hall of mirrors because its sequence contains many sections that appear to be palindromes. These palindromes provide a clue to some interesting events that may have occurred during the course of the chromosome's evolution.
A quarry site in Nevada carries the evolutionary history of a population of stickleback fish that resided there when it was a freshwater lake.
This animation shows a rotating 3-D image of a stickleback skeleton. The pelvic region, including the pelvic spines, is highlighted in red. Armored plating covers the flanks of the fish. The three prominent dorsal spines give the fish its name.
The rock pocket mouse is found in two color variants, or morphs: light and dark. In different environments, their visibility to predators such as owls varies. The dark morph is more vulnerable on light sandy desert, and the light morph on dark lava rock.
This simulation shows the spread of a favorable mutation through a population of pocket mice. Even a small selective advantage can lead to a rapid evolution of the population.
In two related Drosophila species, a so-called paintbrush gene is activated to "paint" the pigment on the body. In one species, an extra switch activates the gene, resulting in spotted wings.
Regulatory "switches" are found upstream from a gene. Regulatory molecules bind to the switches and recruit RNA polymerase to bind to the gene's promoter region, increasing the transcription of the gene into messenger RNA.
Environmental and cultural factors can affect whether a new human mutation becomes common in a population.
Corn was originally bred from the teosinte plant by native Mexican farmers. The morphologies of modern-day corn and teosinte plants are compared to illustrate how artificial selection can bring about dramatic changes in plants.

Due to the delicate nature of fossils, a hardening chemical is dripped onto every fossil before it is removed from the soil.
Chimpanzees are capable of using rocks as tools to crack nuts for eating. But they don't appear to use sharp-edged tools.
African rift valleys were formed by the separation of tectonic plates. Water flows down to the valley floors, creating rivers and lakes.
At the end of the ice age, the retreating ice sheet created many new lakes, some of which were colonized by sticklebacks.

Research Forum Activities
In March the Courtauld hosted a study day focusing on five fifteenth-century Madonna and Child reliefs in the Gallery's collections. It was held under the auspices of the Research Forum, and organised in collaboration with the V&A. Colleagues from UCL, the V&A, University of Warwick and Metropolitan Museum joined Courtauld staff and Professor Rubin's MA students in a series of discussions in front of the sculptures. The objective was to explore the relationships between the reliefs at the Courtauld and the V&A. The group considered the devotional context, the transmission of models and motifs and questions of attribution through a comparison of four reliefs associated with the so-called 'Master of the Marble Madonnas', including one from the Courtauld's Gambier-Parry collection. Close observation of each work stimulated new discoveries.
Following an ambitious timetable, we started before the assembled works at the Courtauld Galleries. At the V&A we examined related works with Peta Motture and her team and visited the V&A store in Battersea. One session included an examination under the microscope by Aviva Burnstock of the painted stucco pieces where she revealed the identity of several of the pigments. The discussions in front of the sculptures were extremely productive. Finally, we had the treat of a stucco Madonna and Child with its original polychromy, and we are grateful to Daniel Katz and Stuart Lochhead for access to it.
The discussions demonstrated the value of intensive and collaborative study, and object-based teaching.

MONTOURSVILLE — One community in Lycoming County went through a similar tragedy in the mid 1990's.
Montoursville lost 16 students and five adults in the TWA Flight 800 explosion and people there can begin to understand what Newtown, Connecticut is going through.
A lone, solitary angel keeps watch in Montoursville Memorial Gardens near the high school.
The statue of the angel and the 21 trees that surround it are constant reminders of dark days in this community's history.
16 students and five chaperones died when the plane they were on exploded after takeoff from New York in July 1996. Craig Kurtz was with the victims' parents then and as principal of Lyter Elementary School in Montoursville, lately his thoughts have been with the loved ones of the victims in Newtown, Connecticut.
"That was the main thing that hit me was what they're going to have to go through, the grief and try to come to grips with what happened," said Kurtz.
The flags outside Montoursville area schools are at half-staff symbolizing the hurt this community feels for the senseless deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary.
While some may never come to fully grasp what happened and why, Kurtz believes it's important for members of the community to be there for one another now more than ever.
"The important thing is the community comes together and stays close and stays close-knit which Montoursville is a close community and has stayed close," he said.
More than 16 years ago, Montoursville was put on the map for all the wrong reasons, much like Newtown is today. Not only did this community have to grieve for the loss of young life, Montoursville had to do it in front of the national media.
"Within hours our high school in Montoursville was surrounded by everything," said retired teacher Richard Felix. "With cameras and reporters everywhere."
Felix was on the crisis team that helped students, teachers and more cope with the loss of those students and adults.
"The shock is what's going to take a while for the community to accept and to cope with," said Felix.
Years have gone by helping to heal the wounds Montoursville suffered. For those who have lived through tragedy, their hope is that Newtown can someday get back some of what it lost.
"That's what I hope for Newtown, that they can go back to that age of innocence," said Kurtz.

President and Mrs. Clinton, Vice President and Mrs. Gore, Secretary Albright, Members of the Cabinet, members of Congress, Ambassador Bushnell, Ambassadors of Kenya and Tanzania, members of the diplomatic corps, leaders of the Armed Forces, Janet, distinguished guests, and most importantly, the families and friends of those who we celebrate today.
Just over a month ago, the tranquility of our lives was shattered by two powerful explosions. Two hundred and sixty-three lives were snuffed out before we had time to express our love, to say goodbye or promise a reunion in another life. Much has transpired since that day of unspeakable horror and that transfixing and melancholy moment when we received the remains of the American soldiers and diplomats who perished in the service of their country.
As the world spins relentlessly on its axis and events rush at us with terrifying velocity, we are forced to pause and to reflect how thin is the membrane that separates this life from the next, how quickly our hearts can be stopped and our voices silenced. Death forces us to stand mute momentarily in its long shadow.
There are no words that I can offer today that will cauterize the wound inflicted by those who cynically wrap themselves in the rhetoric of holiness and then wantonly kill the innocent. The grief will always remain as deep as the distance between the hole in our hearts and the nearest star. But in our moments of quiet reflection, we can seek solace and inspiration from the memory of who they were, for what they gave and for what we, and everyone they touched, have received.
In any cosmic sense, it really matters little that we live to be forty or fifty or one hundred years. Our lives are measured not by how long we live, but how we live. Those whose lives we commemorate today, and the thousands who were wounded, were promoting or enjoying the fruits of freedom. Freedom to exchange ideals and ideas as well as material goods. Freedom to express their thoughts and hopes and dreams. Freedom to practice their religion. Freedom to help others reach their full potential that has otherwise been denied them by a lack of economic or educational opportunity. All took great joy in their service. They were bold, courageous and unafraid to risk all for others.
Freedom, of course, is what terrorists have always abhorred. They are convinced that they can show us fear in a bomb and a handful of dust. But all who cherish freedom and have been its beneficiaries cannot be intimidated by cowards who rejoice in committing murder and mayhem and then retreat into villages so they can hide behind the shield of women and the laughter of children. We paid too high a price for a goal too worthy to be given up to those who traffic in terror. We can remain free only as long as we remain as strong and brave and dedicated as those to whom we pay tribute to today.
Those of you who passed through the main portal as you arrived may have noticed an engraving with words by Winston Churchill. What is inscribed there might also be said of those we celebrate today. Their lives were "that gleaming flash which lifts the hearts of men and nations, and springs from the spiritual foundations of human life itself."
Those who knew these sons and daughters of America and Kenya and Tanzania were privileged to share in the warmth of their lives. May their light, by the grace of God, lift your hearts. And may He lift the hearts of all our nations with their legacy, which shall shine brightly, here and in the heavens, now and forever.

Downtown facing big water-line project
Get ready, downtown, another public infrastructure upgrade is on the way that'll bring with it construction that residents and business patrons must work around.
The Water Management Department intends to replace nearly 2.3 miles of underground piping, starting sometime in the spring and likely continuing into the fall of 2015.
The project will target pipes left untouched during an earlier line upgrade, part of the city's 2005 streetscape project, that placed new connections beneath most of the streets on the western and southern portions of downtown inside the loop.
The job now, say Engineering Supervisor Jerry Morrone and other Water Management officials, is to tackle lines beneath the northern section of the loop itself, plus the ones under Rigsbee Avenue and Mangum, Roxboro, Market, Foster, Holland, Orange and Church streets.
Morrone said the existing lines are the same sort of century-old, cast-iron, unlined pipes the department's been replacing in other parts of the center city.
Replacing them is part of "staying ahead of the game" as properties redevelop and officials plan for initiatives like the potential restoration of two-way traffic on the loop, he told the City Council.
But Water Management acknowledges the project's potential to cause disruption, and has begun consultations with Downtown Durham Inc., the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce and other interests. More meetings, with bigger groups of players, are likely early in 2014.
Some of the smaller streets – Market and Orange, for example – may be closed to traffic when their turn comes. The bigger ones – the loop included – will see lane closures.
To minimize traffic disruptions, project managers may schedule some of the key work for nights and weekends.
But one problem, noise, is shaping up as an even bigger issue for managers to reckon with.
In many places, workers must carve a way through a foot or two of concrete that underlies the asphalt paving, Water Management Director Don Greeley said.
That's normally a job for jackhammers, tools that inherently make more noise than city law theoretically allows.
The biggest potential source of noise-related conflict is along Mangum Street, where homes in some places are only about 200 feet away from likely work sites, Morrone said.
"I don't know if we can completely comply with the noise ordinance or come up with another construction method," he told council members. "It's something we're going to have to work with and make people aware of."
Council members urged Greeley and his staff to let people know well in advance that work crews are coming their way, to give them time to prepare for any disruption to their normal routine.

Specian. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Anthony Specian
Wake up 3 in the morning
walk over to the window
Look at the moon, wonder what it is thinking
thinking its the best?
shining so bright only one out there in the sky
thinks to it self
I am better than the sun?
at least people can look at me without there eyes burning
and when they see me all alone in the sky that's when they being to write poetry
write songs, books, and speak great thing about me?
all about my beauty and loneliness
I brighten the dark cold nights?
the sun, what do you do?
You make people sweat and bring heat to this world
your beauty comes only when you rise and fall
The moons beauty stays with it from when it rises and when go to sleep
Have you ever watch the moon set?

Karol Csonto revealed earlier this month that he was set for talks with Liverpool about the future of Skrtel - who admitted his frustration towards the end of last season when he lost his place in the first-team.
Rafa Benitez, who signed him for Liverpool from Zenit St Petersburg in January 2008, is now keen on landing him for his new club Napoli - but Csonto admits they are unlikely to be able to be able to afford him.
"Martin to move away from Liverpool? I specifically say that Skrtel has never said he wants to go away, then it depends on the Liverpool market because everything could change," he told Tuttomercatoweb.
"It's true that the last two seasons were difficult but in football it can happen.
"Napoli? I think they haven't the financial possibilities to take him. Liverpool has not decided a price because they don't intend to sell the player. Anyway, I don't think that Napoli can afford his wage."

Great connector

What a great connector for odd size PEX tubing. It was simple to install and accepted the conversion nipple so a hose could be attached.

(Memphis) So-called healthier options at restaurants promise fewer calories, carbs, and fat.
The question is, are you really helping your waistline when you order them?
Whether you're driving through, or sitting down, every restaurant menu seems to be offering lighter options these days.
"It's been a huge change which I really enjoy," said Memphian Diane Chavis.
Fewer calories, carbs, and less fat means more options for customers.
"They are doing a better job. You know, like with the Happy Meals, offering the fruit, offering more side salads," says registered dietitian Christy Davis of Baptist Memorial Hospital Memphis.
Federal law now requires restaurants of a certain size to post nutritional information.
The idea is that customers can clearly see what they're getting.
"Now when I go, I will look at it," said Memphis resident Eunice Fair.
"I'll do the snack wrap from McDonald's now instead, based on the assumption that it's healthier," said Kadeem Myrick, whom WREG chatted with at a local coffee shop.
But do these assumed smarter choices help consumers save on calories?
The On Your Side Investigators discovered sometimes you're not getting what you pay for, and in other cases, you're getting more than you bargained for!
WREG tested ten menu items from fast food and casual dining restaurants to get the skinny on the light menu.
At McDonald's, we selected a Happy Meal since the company has now added fruit.
The meal we ordered came with four nuggets, fries and apple slices.
We also ordered a medium fry from McDonald's, along with a medium salted fry from Burger King and a medium Satisfry.
At Wendy's, we chose a Homestyle Chicken Sandwich and the Ultimate Chicken Grill.
At Taco Bell, our team ordered an XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito along with one from their Cantina menu, both steak.
From the casual dining side, it was the Cedar Salmon from Applebee's and Sizzling Chicken and Spinach from TGI Friday's.
The On Your Side Investigators carefully sealed, packed, and shipped the food to an accredited lab for nutritional analysis.
The lab conducted the tests blind – they didn't know which restaurants the items came from.
The tests examined total calories, total fat, and carbohydrates, along with protein.
The lab used a method called proximate testing.

We shared the results with Davis.
She said, "I wasn't surprised. Just being a dietitian and knowing what's in some of these lighter, lighter options."
The lighter options like the grilled chicken sandwich and Cantina Burrito were lower in calories and fat than their traditional counterparts.
Several items also came back with lower calories than what's posted on the menu, including the Cedar Salmon, Chicken and Spinach, and all of the french fries.
"I guess I'm glad to know they're not underestimating it," local resident Joshua Bakke said.
Myrick added, "I don't feel deceived by what they've been telling me."
But wait until we tell you the whole story!
"I was actually surprised that what they posted was 100 calories less than what your tests found," said Davis.
She was talking about the Happy Meal, which we found had combined total of 419 calories, compared to the 305 we added up from the McDonald's menu.
"Then you've got 24 grams of fat, I mean, that's a lot for a child," Davis said about the amount of fat for one meal.
Speaking of, both burritos lead the pack in calories, carbs, and fat.
The Cantina came back higher in all those categories, compared to what Taco Bell posts.
It even has more carbs than the Grilled Stuft.
"And they're marketing that as a lighter item, so you know the average consumer is going to consume that verses option B because they're marketing it is lighter," Davis said.
Even with the grilled chicken sandwich, you're only saving some carbohydrates.
The fried chicken sandwich we tested also came back with higher calories and fat than what's posted by Wendy's.
The Satisfries we tested came back with a higher carb count than the regular fry tested from Burger King.
Davis said in her opinion, here's the real skinny: "It's just a little bit lighter than the original. You're still going to have some higher calories, fat, carbohydrates, sugar and things like that, not to mention the sodium content."
The On Your Side Investigators also got smaller serving sizes of nearly every item compared to what the restaurants post.
We were shorted on the fries, sandwiches, and burritos.
Myrick said, "I was just starting to look at that, so the serving size I assume would play a huge difference in a lot of the readings."
There was a noticeable difference in some cases.
We did the math and if we'd had the correct serving size, nearly every item would have come back with higher calories, carbs, and fat compared to the posted content.
Neither TGI Friday's or Applebee's provided a serving size for the items WREG ordered.
"It definitely makes you think twice about what you eat at a fast food establishment," Bakke said.
Davis says some recent research shows nutritional content posting isn't a driving factor in consumer behavior.
She said, "Some customers still aren't basing their choices off the calories, protein, carbohydrates listed in that menu."
Some people WREG spoke with agreed.
Bakke said, "Myself personally, I don't tend to eat fast food as often so, when I do, I go, OK, I'm just going to eat whatever I really want."
"If I have a taste for it, I go ahead and say, well, OK, I don't care anything about calories," added Fair.
Davis says for consumers who do rely on nutritional postings to choose healthier selections, "It's going to be lighter in something, but it's still not the best option out there."
Click For Restaurant Responses
According to a Taco Bell spokesperson, the company does not market the Cantina menu as a lighter option, but rather "gourmet inspired" with "layers of flavor."
He said he does understand why some consumers might perceive it that way, but all customers have the option to order their food "fresco" style.
A McDonald's representative said, "We are not in a position to comment on the test conducted for this story without knowing specific factors and methodology."
She pointed out that nutrition information is based on "average values," as did reps for Burger King, Wendy's and TGI Friday's, who also said it's normal for variations to occur.
WREG also asked Burger King specifically about its marketing for the Satisfry, which is based on a 70g serving, a size that isn't an option on the menu.
A spokesperson said, "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USDA) lists only one serving size, 70 grams, for reference amount customarily consumed per serving (RACC) with regard to french fried potatoes."
Applebee's said they post a disclaimer directly on restaurant menus explaining, "variability in ingredients and preparation is expected."
**Please note, WREG's data was gathered over the past two months. Some of the restaurants have updated their nutritional information online. The lab WREG used to conduct the testing is ISO/IEC accredited and uses AOAC, FDA, USDA or equivalent recognized methods for all analyses.

A Blackmailed Hubby
Written by SeeShow / Oct 10, 1999
Jim, I love reading some of your "Wife Watch" stories. I especially enjoy reading about women who dominate men. Secretly I have always wanted to be a dominatrix, but I was not in a position to do anything about it. Recently, that situation has changed and I am now a very happy and very fulfilled woman. Let me tell you my story.
Dick and I have only been married for two years, but our marriage has been in trouble since shortly after the honeymoon. I waited until I was thirty-two to get married to make sure I had the right man. But it turns out my wait was in vain. I admit that I was probably spoiled before meeting Dick and that I am very used to having my own way. When Dick first came into my life he was very considerate of me, always opening doors for me, consulting me on every minor decision that involved the two of us, buying flowers for me, pampering me in every way, etc. All that was quickly stopped by him shortly after we got married. I grew very resentful when he stopped doing the household chores. As a result, I stopped giving him my sexual favors and our love life dwindled to a `quicky' on a once or twice a month basis. Frankly I didn't miss the sex with him all that much because it was never all that good to begin with. What's more I developed a friendship with a woman that I worked with who was bi-sexual. She taught me the joys of female sex and I was very content with my sex life. But I wondered about Dick, because I was sure that the wimp wasn't having an affair and I wondered how he was surviving without any pussy. But recently, I found out why he had been sexually content. The bastard was playing with himself on a regular basis and I didn't know it until I discovered him at it approximately three months ago on a Monday morning. I was running the water for my shower when I realized that I had no soap. When I approached the kitchen from the hall, I could see to our bedroom as the door was slightly ajar. I had a real eye-opener!
I couldn't believe it. My fucking husband was jerking-off. In our two years of marriage and one years of going together, I had never known him to masturbate. So this was how he was able to get by without my pussy on a regular basis. He was most likely jacking off each morning when I was safely in the shower. My first thought was to embarrass him by opening the door and shouting, "What the fuck are you doing?" And I knew he would be embarrassed because he's always used the word jack-off to describe a real low life. For me to catch him at it would really be a put-down. I was somehow really gratified that I had reduced him to playing with himself for his sexual relief. As I stood there slightly amused and pleased that he was doing something he always abhorred in other men, I began to formulate a plan of action that would really work in my favor. Why not catch it all on a video tape and actually blackmail him with it. If I could get it on tape and convince him that I'd use it against him, I was certain he'd start doing the household chores again. As a matter of fact, I was sure that I could get him to treat me as I wished - his master. it would be fun commanding him do all my bidding like a good little slave boy. The thought of it made me incredibly horny and I knew I had to put my scheme into effect as soon as possible.
I left him to his jacking-off and went back in to take my shower. The following day I checked on him to see, if indeed, he jacked himself off each morning. After I turned on the bathroom shower, I returned to watch him. I stood where he really couldn't see me but I could easily observe him. Sure enough, by the time I got into position by the bedroom door, he was already jerking off. He had his cock straight up in the air and he was slowly pulling his uncircumcised fore skin up and down his prick. He began to increase the tempo and finally his cum spilled down his prick and onto his lower stomach and balls. He cleaned himself off with the kleenex by the bed and then got up to get dressed. I was really pleased that he did it each morning because it meant I would be able to put my plan into effect to catch him at his little dirty play.
Later in the day I got hold of my sexy friend, Sharon and revealed the plan I had devised to ensnare my husband. She was delighted by my scheme and invited me to stop by later on my way home from work. She agreed to loan me her vide-camera as long as I'd agree to let her watch it later. Not only did I agree to her request but I assured her that if things worked out the way I planned I'd have Dick under my control to the extent that I'd have him jack- off in person for her. We chuckled like a couple of teen age girls at the prospect of this debasement. I gave her a super friendly kiss good-by (if you know what I mean) and took off for home with her borrowed cam-corder in hand. When I got home I hid the camera.
The next morning before Dick was awake I placed it under some towels on our dresser and turned it on. Next I made sure to make enough noise to wake him as I headed for my morning shower. I allowed enough time for him to become aroused and headed back to watch at the doorway. Sure enough as he had the previous day I watched he had taken out his wiener and was playing with himself like a pre-teen boy. What was great was that he was facing the camera almost right on and I knew that I was getting a great potential blackmail video of my little hubby in his self-abuse action. He laid in the bed completely naked stroking himself slowly at first and then increasing the tempo and length of strokes as his cock grew in size. I enjoyed seeing him play with his meat and reveled in the thought that pretty soon all his cock playing would be for my pleasure and at my commands. His facial expression changed to a lustful stare off into space and he moaned quietly. I knew his climax wasn't going to very far away and I was right. He started spewing his jizm into the air with some of it coming down on his belly and chest. Some of it reached all the way to his chin and lower lip. I was surprised and delighted to see him wipe the cum off his lower lip with his tongue. It gave me some interesting ideas of some additional fun to plan for my cum licking hubby.
After he left for work I grasped the camera from where I had hidden it and took it with me to work. At lunch time I went to Sharon's to view the tape. I wasn't sure that I had captured it all on tape and I was delighted to see that I had. When we loaded the tape and into her VCR and pressed the start button, we were rewarded with a clear view of my husband laying on the bed masturbating his dick in full view and living color. He went at it for over ten minutes and as we ran it several times we laid in her bed nude, stroking one another slowly. Later, we talked about the rest of my plan to ensnare my unsuspecting husband.
As soon as I got home that evening I loaded the tape into our VCR on our large screen TV in our living room. When Dick came home for dinner I told him that I hadn't prepared any and that he was going to take me out for dinner but first we were going to watch a movie together. He was surprised and since up until then I had never talked to him in that fashion. He acted very huffy, but he did sit down with me on the couch to watch the VCR tape. His mood changed from gruff to astonishment shortly after the tape begun and he saw himself completely nude jerking off on our larger than life TV screen.
His next reaction was to grab the remote from my hand and shut off the TV. I told him that shutting off the TV wasn't going to change the fact that he was a jack-off. His initial anger began to subside when I told him that I had already made several copies of the tape and that unless he played the game the way I wanted from now on I would send a copy to his sweet old religious mother and his prudish sister as well as have his friends over to view it. It took a while to sink in on him but he finally realized that I was dead serious about my threat. He got very angry at first, but when he calmed down he realized that I had him by the balls. He finally said, "O.K. what is it that you want?"
I told him that for starters I was fed-up of doing all the chores around the house. I told him that from now on he was cooking the meals, cleaning the dishes, making the beds and cleaning the house. When he didn't balk at that, but instead hung his head down and kind of nodded his agreement, I knew I had him. I decided to push it further and told him that if he didn't want me to send a copy to his family and to his friends at work, he'd obey my every command and do anything I wanted. When I asked him if he comprehended and accepted me as his new master he kind of bowled his head and said, "Yes." I told him he could call me Mistress from now on and I made him repeat his answer with my new title added. It gave me a real thrill when he acknowledged his complete and utter defeat by telling me, "Yes, my Mistress!"
I then told him that while I wouldn't show the tape to his family and friends at work as long as he behaved himself, I would share it with Sharon because she helped by loaning me the camera. He became red faced again, (more with embarrassment than anger this time) But he realized he had no choice in the matter. I called Sharon and she was over to my home in a flash. When she arrived I directed Jack to play the tape for us. Sharon and I watched the TV while Jack squirmed in his seat. As the tape finished Sharon indicated that she would like to see it again. I told her that Jack could do it for her live and asked if she'd prefer that. She answered with a resounding yes and I ordered Jack to take out his cock and to start playing with himself. When he hesitated I told him that Sharon and I were going to mail a few tapes out of a certain jack-off that we knew. When we started to leave he came running after us begging us not to do it. I told him that if he ever refused or even hesitated at one of my commands again that their would be no second chance.
Next I had him kneel before us and I told him that if he didn't immediately beg for me to be his mistress that he'd be sorry. I loved it when he complied immediately asking me, "Oh yes, be my Mistress. I'll do whatever you want right away. I'll always act immediately the way you want me to. I'll be your servant in anything you want."
I commanded him then, "Good! Get your ass buck naked immediately and plead with me to play with yourself. If your tone pleases me I'll let you jack-off in your palm and then you can lap it all up." He turned slightly red - I'm not sure by anger or embarrassment - before responding. "Oh yes. Yes mistress, let me play with my prick, if it pleases you. Please let me stroke it until I cum onto my hands. I'll lick it all up just like a good slave boy should do." When I nodded my head in agreement he immediately began stroking himself. His dick was already hard before he began. My suspicion is that he actually enjoys being humbled and made to be sub- servient. It didn't take him very long before he cam in his hand. I was disappointed that he was so quick about it and told him so. "Did I give you permission to shoot your load yet, shithead?" He didn't respond to my rhetorical question and just hung his head down and said he was sorry. "Sorry doesn't get it asshole! If you ever jack off to completion again without securing my permission, I'll blister your ass so bad you'll not be able to sit for a week. Now you can lap it off your hand before it gets runny." With that said he bowled his head down to his palm and began lapping his own cum for me slowly.
Sharon and I made him jack-off three more times for us that evening. Naturally we made him lap up his own cum each time as we giggled in delight. Later when he took us all out for dinner, I made him expose himself under the table cloth. He was terribly embarrassed but I told him to stop being such a baby about it. I told him if he didn't do just as I asked then I'd have him expose himself right out on the street. He got the message and I told him that from now on I wanted him to act the part of the jake-off he was by taking his dick out of his pants at every chance he got. When driving to and from work, when he was behind his desk at work, at the restaurants behind the table cloths, and so on. He agreed and drove us home with his prick hanging out of his pants. He acted chagrined a few times when a woman stopped next to us at a light, but he knew better than to try and stuff it back in his pants and displease me.
I had Sharon sleep with me that night, making Jack aware for the first time as to the true relationship between Sharon and I. The following morning Sharon and I went to a costume store and rented a very sexy maid's costume. When he came home from work that evening I applied make-up on him and had him put on the maid's outfit. The skirt is so short that if he bends over at all his ass or cock and balls come totally into view. I liked what I saw so much that the following day I purchased the outfit from the costume rental. That evening I acquainted him with all the chores of the household. Showing him how to do the laundry, making him understand what I expected in his household cleaning duties and also acquainted him with some cook books. As he performed his chores his cock and ass were frequently exposed and I captured a lot of him on tape without him knowing it. Later, I had duplicates made at Sharon's and then showed what additional blackmail material I had of him. He understood how much he's in my control and no longer balked at any command or order I gave him. I told him that if he ever burnt a meal or failed to launder or clean properly that he'd be exposed to his friends and family.
Each evening at about seven o'clock Sharon comes to our house and Jack greets her in his skimpy maid costume. After a little verbal abuse he serves us cocktails in the living room, dinner in the kitchen and gives us a show in the bedroom. We make him get on his knees and plead to masturbate for us. After a little boot-licking (and sometimes some pussy licking) we finally give him permission. We make him hold out for as much as an hour and when he finally squirts his cum, he has to implore us to allow him to lick up all his cum.
He cums for me at least twice a day. I allow him his morning jerk-off, with me watching as he licks up his own cum and then I have him perform for Sharon and I late in the evening after he has performed his chores. On occasion I have him do it as many as five times during the day. His prick is generally so sore that Sharon and I, occasionally, give him a day to recuperate. Sharon and I often have him lick our pussies, after he masturbates for our pleasure. If he doesn't do an excellent job, he has to pull down his maid panties and take a blistering whacking on his ass from both of us. A couple of months ago Sharon suggested to me that since Jack had become so good at eating his own cum, maybe it was time to teach him how to swallow other guy's cum. It really appealed to me and I began to visualize him sucking cock. The thought was so exciting to me that I nearly creamed my jeans right then and there. I knew I had enough dirty video tape of him to convince the shithead to do anything for me. Sharon indicated that she knew a bi-sexual guy that she thought would be happy to have his cock sucked by a `straight' guy. His name is Cal and when Sharon called him on the phone he was delighted. He said it would be a thrill to get Dick's first blow job; almost like having a virgin. We had him come right over to the house.
When Cal arrived my husband was in his maid's outfit and he was very embarrassed to have another man see him this way. he was even more chagrinned when we told him that he'd have to suck Cal's cock. Cal removed his pants and underpants. He was already hard and I really had to admire his equipment,. He was a good two inches longer than my husband and a great deal thicker. I told Cal how nice it was too see a real cock and then I made my husband hold Cal's cock in his hand. He really blushed as Cal told my husband that he (Cal) was going to teach him to be a great cocksucker. I told Dick that if he balked even for a second at what Cal told him that it would be curtains for him. Cal told him to begin by kissing it and if it pleased him that he could then lick his cock and balls all over. Dick saw my stern glance at him and began kissing Cal's cock. It was delightful to watch my wimpy hubby hold Cal's huge member in his hands and then begin planting wet kisses on the head of his prick. I thoroughly enjoyed it as Cal gave him the signal to stop kissing and Dick began to lick him. Before Cal told Dick to take the cock into his mouth, I made Dick beg for it. It really gave me a great sexual thrill to see my slave- husband beg to suck his very first cock! Cal allowed him to start sucking him and gave him verbal instructions on how to make it feel really good for Cal. He had Dick slow down if his cock got to close to shooting it's load. Finally, Cal allowed himself the luxury of shooting his jizm into Dick's mouth. The white cream came so quickly that my husband couldn't swallow it all and some of it ran down his lips almost dripping off his chin. I made sure that he licked it all up while I chuckled at his predicament.
Since then Cal is welcomed to our house several times a week. Several months ago, he began to bring some of his bi-sexual and gay friends with him. During these sessions Sharon and I lay on the bed playing with one another and watching Dick. We force him to suck cock and to take cocks up his ass. On one Saturday Cal brought three well-hung friends. They formed two man teams, with one team resting, while the other team gave my husband double penetration. One cock in his mouth and another up his ass. After the two of them shot their loads into his mouth and ass, they'd rest and the other team would take over. Before the day was over my husband had swallowed six loads of cum and had his ass pierced the same number of times. I made him lick off the cum that had slid out of his ass and mouth onto the floor. Cal, his friends, Sharon and I got a real charge out of that. We laughed as I told him what a great cum licker he had become. As a special reward I allowed him to lick my pussy and then watch as one of Cal's bi-sexual friends fucked me long and hard. The fuck was wonderful, but it was even more wonderful knowing that my wimpy husband had the embarrassment of having to watch an other man fuck his wife.
It gives me a great deal of pleasure to know that my husband is straight but that I control him so thoroughly that he will suck cock and take it up the ass to satisfy me. As long as I have the incriminating videos to hold over his head he has to keep me pleased in every way. I enjoy my hold over him and intend to keep him under my thumb forever. It's the most wonderful thing in the world to have a husband who is literally your slave, carrying out your every request at all times.
Lately, I have been giving some serious thought to having my little cock- sucking husband become a true transvestite. It really pleases me to see him in his maid's outfit and I know that he would be even more pleasing as a true he/she. Some electrolysis to get rid of his unsightly male hair and a mammary augmentation operation would change him into the kind of She-male that could serve me even better. What do you think, should I make him into a TRUE Transexual?

These are okay. They are squeaky (trying to fix that). There is still a good deal of resistance when in the quasi-touring mode they have. My partner will ultimately replace these with true touring bindings that are more active (BD 01s). However, these are lightweight, simple, and decently control her Joules, but she'd like the versatility of having a true free pivot and likely better command of her Joules. If you head for the untouched backcountry try something else, if you spend most of the time getting a lift to the top, these are just fine and economical.

Kellwood used to be plain-Jane, but its new milieu is the fashion industry -- a realm that is itself increasingly anonymous. Once demurely monogrammed with the wearer's initials, clothes today wear a rainbow of logos and labels -- yet they all look pretty much the same. Kellwood stands smack in the middle of this Gap-ification, thanks to its flexible, high-speed manufacture and its emphasis on marketing rather than aesthetic innovation. The result is democratic, casual, easy to wear and affordable -- but in critics' eyes, it's bland chaos. Company designers might still gaze at the runways in Paris and Milan for inspiration, but they come home and blunt the high design into mass-market appeal, interpret it in cheap fabric and send the pattern to Third World countries for rapid, secretive assembly.
In the old days, it was the design side that lived like Garbo, shrouded in secrecy. American manufacturers used to visit Paris twice a year, paying a fee called a "caution" to enter the showrooms. Guests could take discreet notes, but reporters gladly embargoed the season's news until the first Paris creations landed at JFK airport, sending frissons up women's spines all across the land.
Today, all you have to do is flip on cable, and a Vogue editor takes you inside. The secrets don't really matter so much anymore, because, as longtime Wall Street Journal fashion reporter Teri Agins writes, "It's not only the end of the millennium, but the end of fashion as we once knew it."
Agins' new book, The End of Fashion: The Mass Marketing of the Clothing Business, chronicles the fall. Designers failed to sell women on short skirts; fads misfired; couture made a fool of itself, turning runway shows into performance art and presenting clothes as unwearable as Balinese theatrical costumes. Women started shopping downmarket, deciding it was not only sensible but chic to buy knockoffs at discount stores. By 1996, discounters accounted for about 41 percent of general retail sales, up from 27 percent in 1987, and Wal-Mart was selling more apparel than all department stores combined. "The forces of fashion," Agins concludes, "had lost their ability to dictate trends."
The power reverted to us: clueless consumers who grew up in extra-large sweatshirts and wouldn't know tulle from burlap. Jeigh Singleton, fashion-design coordinator at the Washington University School of Art, deplores the result. "Before, at least you had a designer making a declaration and being responsible for it, saying, "This is the way it is supposed to be now, and here's why,'" he sighs. "Listening to the customer might seem more democratic -- but it ends up with people not looking so great."
Fashion's artful ensembles have been replaced with the mix-and-match of personal style. "T-shirts with ballgown skirts -- that's tacky," snaps Singleton. "Casual Fridays -- what is that? Some companies stopped it because people were showing up in their pajamas. There is no gauge; there is no standard. The see-through, shrink-wrapped look of celebutantes, that MTV slut-thug look -- I think this is because the masses are making the decisions."
The irony is that, with technology scaling new heights and the richness of the entire globe to tap for inspiration, we're ending up someplace where "all the choices are the same." Fashion, once about uniqueness and exclusivity, now strives only for inclusion -- the kind Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger promise to preps and homeboys alike. The result is sameness, what Singleton calls a "nobody was present" kind of garment, shaped less by design principles than by economics, technology and a marketer's notion of the masses' dreams. "Things are done all over the world -- they're designed here, manufactured in Sri Lanka, sold in New York City and they end up in Boise," continues Singleton. "Everything's electronic, and things are not designed for people as much as for the presentation. They're designed for the hanger, for the fold, for the package. So unless you have this body that looks like a hanger ... things end up looking quite generic."
Kellwood's a mirror for these changes: Instead of an old-fashioned design house with a single authoritative aesthetic, it's a loose amalgamation of brand names and private labels. The old design rules are indeed gone, yet there's little risk-taking, little manipulation of a garment's shape and line. Instead, the "design" comes in embellishment, trim, anything that will be perceived as "novelty" without terrifying copycat consumers.
Kellwood's highest design comes from its David Dart label, one of the "bridge" collections created in the mid-'80s, when high fashion stopped selling and retailers wanted designer names priced about 30 percent lower. Sold at Neiman Marcus (but on the ground floor, not at the altitude of couture), Dart's Millennium collection "takes texture to the limit with pleated mesh, metallic mohair and crinkle knit pieces" and trims a sheath in rooster feathers. (No change in shape, just add-on rooster feathers.) Another Kellwood label, Ivy, mimics the softly draped, easygoing clothes sold by Kiko or C.P. Shades but pares down the prices.
How? Economies of scale and technology. Tax breaks, freebies and eased regulations in the "free-trade zones" created by poor countries to seduce U.S. manufacturers. Thrifty fabric buys. Last May, Kellwood CEO Hal J. Upbin called his designers "unsung heroes" because they had to work with $3-a-yard fabric, not $30- or $300-a-yard material. (Korea was once the company's main source for fabric, but lately they've been casting a wider net, fishing for the stretch, novelty and "surface interest" that command higher prices.)

Bianca is the cutest 2 years old baby I have ever known. In her veins is running Siberian and Italian blood that explains her strong and decisive personality. Bianca's birthday was an excellent opportunity to make a wonderful gift using fabric leftovers from one of my dresses http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/running-wild
I wanted to create a kind of dress she will be happy and comfortable in all day long: in soft knits fabric, with long sleeves, round neckline and invisible zipper in the back seam. The pattern is from Burda 9/2012_151.
Everything went fine until we proposed her to try the dress. The fact is that she started learning animal noises and every time she saw this dress she was making "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" sound.
It took her about a month to get accustomed to it and now she adores her dress in fun leopard print.

Russia's government has re-affirmed that its controlling shareholding in Oneworld member S7 Airlines will undergo privatisation.
Alfa Bank, which has been appointed as the government agent for the sale of a 25.5% blocking stake in the carrier, will set the initial asking price at Rb1.12 billion ($36 million).
The package includes 26,126 common shares. Alfa Bank will accept bids from privately-owned legal entities until 18 April, before holding an auction on 25 April.
The company is a member of the S7 Group controlled by Vladislav Filev and his wife, who between them hold the title to 63.3% of privately-owned shares in S7 Airlines.
Along with its operational affiliate Globus, the carrier transported 8.3 million passengers in 2012, making it the country's fourth largest airline after Aeroflot, Transaero and UTair.
Two years ago, Russia's state property ministry called off an auction for the government's stake in S7 after it failed to attract investor interest. The starting price had been set at Rb1.87 million.

"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"I'm having a baseball themed 1st bday for my son and this invitation was just what I was looking for! I loved how easy it was to personalize and the colors of the overall invitation. I could choose my font colors and designs as well. I felt they were very affordable and I've gotten nothing but comments back from my family and friends I sent them to!"
"We were very pleased with our invitations! The cards were very professional looking and well made! If we ever need paper goods this is the place!"
"I chose to use this card for my son's high school graduation party invitation. I wanted a patriotic color palette since he is joining the military. I felt this was a more mature and elegant option than most graduation designs. I used the same fonts and colors as the example. I was able to add his senior picture to the back. This card turned out beautiful as do all that I order from Tiny Prints!"
"The quality of paper used, the colors, and the style helped make this invite for my little guys 4th birthday party too perfect. It captures his sweet and funny personality to a T. You always deliver perfection tiny prints, thanks!"

Oxnard College's Vannessa Martinez commits to UNLV
Vannessa Martinez did not run cross country as an upperclassman at Rio Mesa High.
Now she is a Division I student-athlete.
The Oxnard College sophomore signed a letter of intent Wednesday to run at Nevada-Las Vegas.
"It's an amazing turnaround from where she started," Oxnard coach Geno Sharp said of Martinez. "No one, but no one — including myself —thought this girl could pull off a Division I scholarship, but she did. And she's a good student to boot."
The 5-foot-3 sophomore completed a standout two-year career by finishing 11th at the CCCAA state championships in 18 minutes, 45 seconds, one of the top individual performances in school history, to power the Condors to their the first top-10 team finish in school history.
"It was an honor to be on this team," Martinez said.
Martinez was third (19:10) at the WSC Championships, earning first-team All-WSC honors, and 11th (19:21) at the SoCal regionals.
"It's hard for me to believe that I'll be running for a university, let alone (at the Division I level)," Martinez said. "Sometimes I can't believe it."
Martinez, who admittedly barely graduated high school, brought a 3.4 GPA into her final semester at Oxnard.
"It's been really fun to watch her grow and change and get serious about her education," Sharp said.
Martinez was the lone national signing day news from the local community colleges, which isn't surprising considering midyear football transfers signed in December.
Moorpark College football's class of midyear signees was cornerback Tion Wright (Baylor), cornerback Cesar Fermin (Hawaii) and linebacker Travis Key (Division II Henderson, Ark., State).
Ventura College football's class of midyear signees consisted of quarterback Brad Odeman (San Diego State), cornerback Jordan Howard (Division I-FCS Southeast Louisiana), fullback Marcus Richardson (Division I-FCS West Alabama) and defensive lineman James Lopez (NAIA Sterling College) and offensive lineman David Moreno (Sterling).

Language Teaching Methods
The most extraordinary thing about a really good teacher is that he or she transcends accepted educational methods
— Margaret Mead (1901-1978) American cultural anthropologist
Over the years various methods have been used to teach language. They tend to come and go, like fashion. They have their fanatics, and their detractors. In truth, since teachers do not teach but learners learn, no single method is adequate to the task of helping learners become autonomous. Each method has valuable techniques that may be used at the appropriate moment. An understanding of multiple teaching methods better equips the teacher to serve the learner. In this section we look at some of the better-known methods and approaches.
MT = mother tongue. TL = target language (the language being learned)
1780s The Grammar-Translation Method
1890s The Direct Method
1950s The Audiolingual Method
1970s Total Physical Response
1970s The Silent Way
1970s Suggestopedia
1970s Community Language Learning
1980s Communicative Language Teaching
Note that a section on the so-called "post-method era" will follow.

This would be filed under the category of useless apps that provide endless fun. Microsoft Research has released a new Windows Phone app – Face Swap – that allows you to swap your face with other people.
Face Swap provides an easy and quick way to swap people's face using a photo taken with others. All you need to do it take a new photo or select an existing one in your library and then shake your phone once. Yes, that's all you need for the Face Swap magic! You can save the swapped photos to your library, or share them on Facebook, Twitter, or SkyDrive.
You can try different combinations to see how your face looks on that gym-rat friend's body. Maybe, just try your girlfriend's face on your best friend's body (No, not really). The app enables multiple faces detection and is available for free in the Windows Phone Marketplace.

POLST Illinois Moves Forward
The Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) program, designed to improve the quality of end of life care, is on its way to Illinois. Health care professionals met at Rush University Medical Center Thursday to discuss the form's development and strategies for raising public awareness.
The Chicago End-of-Life Care Coalition sponsored the discussion led by Julie Goldstein, M.D., a clinical ethicist and palliative care physician at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
POLST program forms are more detailed than conventional living wills or other advance directives. They allow patients to indicate preferences regarding resuscitation, intubation, intravenous antibiotics and feeding tubes. Such forms are intended for patients in their last year of life, and they can follow patients across in-state care settings and direct doctors to provide or withhold life saving treatment in emergency situations.
For instance, an individual may choose to decline resuscitation efforts, but of for artificial nutrition. An individual may choose artificial nutrition with set limits or permanent placement.
"POLST improves on the existing uniform DNR form," said Goldstein. "POLSTs are medical orders and have to be followed by all medical care providers." To be valid, a POLST form must be signed by an attending physician.
Loretta Downs, president of the CECC, told LMM that POLST is essentially about enhancing personal liberty at end of life. "For Illinois, accepting the POLST form is a statement encouraging people to take advantage of their liberty regarding end of life decisions. It empowers the individual to make a clear statement about whether or not he or she wants end of life care and what level of treatments."
The POLST form will be available in early 2013, a version of the IDPH DNR Uniform Advance Directive. Goldstein said it will be most similar to the California POLST. The final form awaits approval from state health officials and it may be "ultra pink."
Many in attendance left hopeful that the form would help their patients. Kriston Kurelic, a social worker at Passages Hospice, says she is excited about the form's implementation. "I'm very interested in the changes that will happen," Kurelic said. "It will be very beneficial to long-term care. It will be beneficial to patients and families."
Christine Nelson, director of nursing at Manor Care, agrees. "I think anything that helps us assess what people's wishes are more clearly is helpful," she said. "The only barrier I see is time being taken to explain the form to patients."
The task of educating patients will likely fall on individual health care providers. Because it is a physician order, it is intended to be accompanied by a meaningful doctor-patient dialogue. Carol Blendowski, a Rainbow Hospice nurse practitioner, says time is what is required to have such conversations, but thinks patients will ultimately find the POLST easy to navigate. "I can see clearly now," she said. "This form is user friendly."
POLST was developed in Oregon in the 1990s, and now 15 states have POLST programs. Twenty-eight states are considering the use of POLST forms.

My drive to work in the morning usually takes about seven minutes. That is plenty of time to wonder about who will be the next mayor of Syracuse, and whether someone will ever paint those gorgeous mansions on West Onondaga Street, and why that teen-ager with the headphones isn't on his way to school, and whether more people are riding Centro because they're sick of buying gas - not to mention whether I unplugged the iron and coffee pot.
Welcome to my blog, where the conversation will basically be about what you see when you look out the window, or whether you let your kid wear shorts to school in November, or how you get to sleep with all the worries in the world. It will also be a place for airing out some of the mail I receive about my columns in The Post-Standard - as well as a place for kicking around some of those column topics.
Come on in.
