Torvalds Christens The Next Linux Kernel Series 3.x
It's official, kernel version 3.0 is on its way. Linus confirmed this both in an announcement and by checking in the first 3.0 release candidate. The new branch is not expected to include any major milestones in terms of features, but it may stimulate developers to adopt policies of cruft removal and modernization.
Linus had mooted the idea of skipping 2.8 (stable branches use even numbers) in favor of 3.0 a couple of weeks ago on the kernel mailing list.
On the forums, reaction to the news has been mixed, with some wondering if Linus is falling prey to the current trend of large major version number jumps to give the impression of significant progress. But, that raises the question: is it worse to have a small version number jump for a new release that breaks everything, or a large version increase that turns out not to be hugely different from the previous release. It's a point that Linus touches on in his announcement:
[...]we are very much *not* doing a KDE-4 or a Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at all like that. [...] So no ABI changes, no API changes, no magical new features - just steady plodding progress.
His justification for the version jump is two-fold. First, the 2.6.x branch was around for an unusually long time. 2.6 has been with us since 2003, and version 2 itself began way back in 1996. Second, it is symbolic because, as the Linux kernel is 20 years old this year, it is now entering its third decade.
So, it's not a ground-breaking release, and the message seems to be: everything's going great, prepare for more of the same.
The original announcement on the Linux Kernel Mailing List.
UK based freelance writer Michael Reed writes about technology, retro computing, geek culture and gender politics.
Kernel upgrade. No major
Kernel upgrade. No major features. Boring.
Announcement link
The announcement links you posted were an interesting read, but I believe you meant to post this link: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/29/204
Ouch. Quite right. I winced at myself for that one.
UK based freelance writer Michael Reed writes about technology, retro computing, geek culture and gender politics.
Linux versions
Why not make a slight modification to the versioning schema? Something like this...
3.0.x for 3rd decade year 0
3.1.x for 3rd decade year 1
3.2.x for 3rd decade year 2
Of course, that might be too complicated...
coolaid ver bump, major revs
coolaid ver bump, major revs for major progress plz, minor revs for minor progress --- otherwise, set major milestones so when hit, a major rev makes sense
not wow'd here
What's next?
Ok, admit it people, what where the diffs between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 ?
Only some geeks (or user who suffered from some bugs) remember when this version change was, and what it contained.
So, I applaud Linus to this decision, 3.0 for the third decade.
And then, for the 4th decade, after somewhere between 3.40 (3month) or 3.60 (2month) there would come version 4.0.
Nice, why not?
PS: yes this stops some questions for 2.7 code also (SCO).
Long live Linus
Rightfully said by Linus-- this is just another version with more bug fixes, drivers and etc. The kernel is matured.
Im still waiting and wondering when linux will power spaceships and future technology that still is'nt in existence.
3.x so good.
3.x so good.
Mocking SCO
Remember when SCO asked for the source code for Linux kernel 2.7?
Jumping from 2.6 to 3.0 is a bit more funny, when you keep this in mind :-)
For all of those guys saying
For all of those guys saying "no big progress", please, measure the progresses made between Linux 2.6.0 and Linux 3.0. They ARE worthy of a major release.
Why Not?
Not a big deal at all!
Mr. M$ do it all the time! Recently announced a version 8.
What a lot of people just figured out as it's nothing more than an old and well know "7 with a new skin" ;-)) What about 95, 98, ME, 2000... just to say for the desktop side. Who really believes that they have 8 SO? Ok, I do believe in Santa either.
Let's step up to "3"
i am surprised nobody
i am surprised nobody suggested to shave to 2 off and increment the 6.
That idea probably already has a copyright
Or even a patent! Need to stay away from that frightful thought. It could wind up in court!

Man accused of biting mom's hand held in prisonStaff report | November 14,2013SANDGATE A local man was jailed without bail after police said he assaulted a female friend and bit his 70-year-old mother.
Edward Weiss, 44, of Sandgate pleaded innocent Tuesday to a felony count of first-degree aggravated domestic assault, two misdemeanor counts of domestic assault and a misdemeanor count of simple assault.
Trooper Thomas Stange said Vermont State Police were sent to a home on Sandgate Road in Sandgate at 10:05 p.m. Monday. Stange said Weiss threatened troopers, who had to use handcuffs, leg irons and a spit hood to take him to the police barracks in Shaftsbury.
Police said Weiss was highly intoxicated but he refused to provide a breath sample.
Nicole Novotny, 29, told police Weiss had come to her home intoxicated and continued to drink alcohol. She said he became more violent and threatened to kill her.
She also said he punched her and knocked her to the ground, Stange said.
Novotny told police she called Weiss parents, Robert Weiss, 72, and Judith Weiss, 70, and said Weiss attacked them, too.
Robert Weiss said his son shoved him and, after he fell to the ground, punched him in the head. When his wife tried to get Edward Weiss to stop, police said, he bit her hand.
Judith Weiss told police a doctor said a bone might be broken in the hand bit by her son.
During Edward Weiss arraignment, Deputy States Attorney Jennifer Barrett said Weiss parents were terrified of him and didnt want contact with him because of past issues with drugs, alcohol and violence.
Weiss will return to court Nov. 20 to determine if he can be released on bail.MORE IN This Just In

West Cumbrian man lay dead for two days - inquest
Last updated at 11:48, Saturday, 02 March 2013
A young man died walking home from a birthday party, an inquest heard.
Gary Murphy, 29, was found dead by his uncle, John Burns, in long grass to the side of a footpath only a few hundred yards from his Cleator Moor home.
He had left the house party to walk home to The Hawthorns around 1am November 3, and Mr Burns made the tragic discovery just over 48 hours later.
An inquest into his death heard that Mr Murphy – a passionate sports fan – was "merry, but not drunk" on leaving the party.
Deputy coroner Robert Chapman concluded that "walking home in darkness, combined with the alcohol he had consumed, caused him to fall down a slope to the side of the path".
"He had been lying undiscovered for some time in freezing cold weather," he added.
A post-mortem found "nothing physical" that caused Mr Murphy's death, and there were no drugs found in his system.
The cause of death was given as alcohol intoxication, and Mr Chapman ruled that Mr Murphy died as a result of an accident.
Mr Murphy had been a kitchen assistant at Summergrove hotel, near Whitehaven, for eight years, and left with the rest of the staff when the venue closed last March. The party he attended was a gathering of former colleagues to celebrate a birthday at a home at Weddicar Gardens, a five-minute walk from his home.
A friend who was at the party, Ceri Hall, said that Mr Murphy was not a "big drinker" – a fact confirmed by his parents, Michael and Joan – and had drunk around nine drinks during the seven-hour get-together.
Mr Chapman found that because Mr Murphy was unused to drinking a lot of alcohol, the amount he did drink on that night could have impaired his walk home.
Mr Murphy's family was initially unaware that he had not returned home, the inquest heard, as his parents and two brothers were coming and going from the family home all weekend.
His mother, Joan, said it was not unusual for the busy family members not to cross paths over the course of a few days.
"There was no urgency because we were out for the day on Saturday and then at work on the Sunday, and we knew he had plans, so we just presumed we all kept missing one another," she said
Their concern grew however on the night of November 4 – two nights after the party – when Michael Murphy passed his son's bedroom at 2am and found he was not home.
They contacted the police and Mr Murphy, along with brother-in-law Mr Burns, began to retrace the steps his son would have taken home from the party. Mr Burns made the tragic discovery at around 7am on the footpath that joins the Bowthorn and Mill Hill areas of Cleator Moor.
Mr and Mrs Murphy paid tribute to their son, a former St Benedict's School pupil.
"He was very well liked by everyone who knew him," they said. "He had so many friends and the turn-out at his funeral was overwhelming. He was a good son, and we love him and miss him dearly."

Think of the first-year read as your first assignment. With discussion groups and activities based on the book, you'll begin your life as a college student exploring topics, themes (particularly as it applies to the University Theme), and meeting other students. First-year read texts are carefully selected to engage and inspire students, encourage reading for pleasure and for purpose, and to provide common ground for spirited discussion and reflection.
The first-year read for 2015-2016:
In preparation for the October 16, 2015 campus visit by author Ruth Ozeki, all first-year students and transfer students in WEL 100 will read A Tale for the Time Being. All in the Bay Path learning community are invited to read the novel and consider it in relation to the University Theme, "What does it mean to live well?" The novel presents much to consider and discuss, such as the value of emotional well-being, financial stability, the role of spirituality, and local and global connections with people and communities.
"In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there's only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates' bullying. But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great grandmother, a Buddhist nun who's lived more than a century. A diary is Nao's only solace — and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine.
Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox —possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao's drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future.
Full of Ozeki's signature humor and deeply engaged with the relationship between writer and reader, past and present, fact and fiction, quantum physics, history, and myth, A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive, beguiling story of our shared humanity and the search for home."

Politics: Do congressional Republicans face an impossible choice between being politically used or undermining U.S. prestige in the Mideast? The corner that President Obama has trapped them in is just an illusion.
The most important fact about the president's decision to ask Congress' permission before striking Syria is that it is 100% political.
Even the American Enterprise Institute's hawkish Marc Thiessen warned that Obama's limited strikes "will likely fail, and he wants Congress on the hook so that Republicans cannot criticize his Syria policy when it implodes." Therefore, "Republicans should not take the bait" by voting yes.
As former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton told Fox News, the charge that "it'll cause a huge blow to America's credibility if Congress doesn't approve the use of force" begs the question: "a huge blow to America's credibility compared to what? Compared to the mess the president's already made of it?"
For the sake of looking united in the eyes of the world, should Congress really endorse President Obama's incompetent drawing of red lines he never thought Bashar the Butcher would dare cross, followed by lobbing in some cruise missiles just to save face?
Or worse, fiddle with the White House's Syrian draft resolution and inadvertently make U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power's dream come true of a U.S. military that acts not in U.S. interests but as a global anti-genocide corps? Good luck applying that to, say, North Korea.
And what if we do help Syria's Islamist rebels ultimately overthrow Bashar Assad? As Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told NBC's "Meet the Press," that could mean "another Islamic state where Christians are persecuted." Christians make up 10% of Syria's population.
Democratic Party Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who has never uttered a nonpolitical word in her life, says a "no" vote would be a refusal to "exercise the moral leadership that the United States has always led with." She's even playing the Holocaust card.
Meanwhile, Rep. Nancy Pelosi had an Amy Carter moment: when her 5-year-old grandson opposed attacking Syria, she told him, "I generally agree with that, but you know, they've killed hundreds of children there."
Funny, we didn't hear worries of hurting America's credibility from liberal politicians and journalists in 1973, when Nixon's secret bombing of Cambodia spurred a Democratic-controlled Congress to pass the War Powers Resolution over Nixon's veto — a titanic embarrassment to the commander in chief in the midst of the Cold War, Vietnam, opening to China, etc.
Same in the 1980s when Congress's Boland Amendment restricted Ronald Reagan's assistance to the Contra anti-communist freedom fighters in Nicaragua.
House Speaker John Boehner and second-ranking House Republican Eric Cantor on Tuesday wasted little time falling into Obama's political trap, announcing they would vote to authorize force.
For years, the president will claim a bipartisan endorsement of his foreign policy. It may not be ideal for the world to see Washington divided, but "United We Stand for an incompetent, self-loathing U.S. foreign policy" is no battle cry for these dangerous times.
American Decline: Chinese forces head to Syria to join with Russia in filling Obama's power vacuum and purportedly fight the Islamic State. A false move involving NATO member Turkey could mean world war.Russian and Chinese military sources now confirm that Chinese warships are en route to the ...
Law And Order: As violent crime waves swamp police across the U.S., the Obama regime plans to dump 6,000 prisoners convicted of drug dealing back on the streets, starting the end of this month. What could go wrong?Don't worry, the Justice Department says, the mass clemency won't hurt public safety. ...
Leadership: From the media's collective hysteria over Rep. Kevin McCarthy's surprise decision to withdraw from running for Speaker of the House, you'd think our system of government had been toppled. Well, it hasn't. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York warned that the leadership shuffle could lead to a ...
The House of Representatives is looking for a new speaker. Such times of change present a perfect opportunity for Congress to reflect on what it should aspire to achieve. On top of the list is getting control of our fiscal situation by restraining government spending in ways that are consistent ...
For Democrats, the 2016 presidential race is becoming eerily reminiscent of 1968's debacle. Each week, the footsteps behind their prohibitive favorite grow louder, closer and more numerous — just as they did almost 50 years ago. Increasingly, Hillary Clinton appears to be LBJ, and Bernie ...

Tumbleweed Prototypes
Tumbleweed Work in Progress, Version 1
Tumbleweed Work in Progress, Version 1
Benjamin De Kosnik, Notes on the Grove: Member Portfolios and Botanical Experiments, 2015
148 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, softbound and ebook
A contemporary Northern California gardening journal, suitable for note-taking and photo
documentation of any indoor or outdoor botanical experiment up to twenty-six weeks in
length. Appropriate for field use. Results from recent L.E.D. horticulture experiment included.
Also contains recent art, photography, light sculpture, and installation art. A list of relevant
books, films, and prior art is appended for reference.
Historical Context
Earth Day. First on March 21, 1970. Now "coordinated' via Earth Day Network on April 22 annually.
See: A Brief History of Earth Day, or the longer American Experience piece on PBS Earth Days (or via YouTube).
Instantiated in San Francisco via Earth Day SF Street Fair. This event is April 18th, 2015 on 22nd street between Mission and Valencia streets.
Art Context
Yes Men hijinks including "Canada turns over a new leaf," "Balls Across America," and media jamming in La Jolla Action. Think of way to involve media.
David Ireland, Sidewalk Repair, 500 Capp Street, San Francisco, 1976. Conceive of something that is a maintenance action.
Agnes Denes, Wheatfield – A Confrontation, 1982. Is there a way to transmute the urban materials of concrete, sidewalks, into something green?
Site Context
Situated on the public sidewalk space and streets of the Mission District, in San Francisco, CA.
Public space is currently contested in this area. One of the main parks is half closed, and tensions between longtime and new residents, between residents and visitors, and between residents and tourists mix in unpredictable and often antagonistic ways.
Dolores Park is half closed due to a multi-year park improvement project, and has been the origin for clashes between under-staffed park rangers and partying parkgoers. The neighbors immediately surrounding the park are concerned with late-night vandalism, and the mounds of trash left by partying parkgoers every weekend.
Public trash piles and sidewalk litter are exacerbated by the removal of public trash cans on San Francisco city streets in 2007 by the Board of Supervisors and Gavin Newsom. A summary quote from the linked-to article:
"Before, there used to be a container on every street," said Salvador Román, the janitor at La Victória bakery on 24th and Alabama. "Now there is one every two blocks."
Possible Actions
Goal: Choose an approach that moves your work in a new trajectory and deepens your experimentation. What kind of public might the work produce? Take into account your mode of address and tactics, considering time and site, the political moment, and opportunities for solidarity, amelioration, agonism, antagonism, etc. Have a working Plan B prepared. — A.B.
A Plan: Each of the participants will enact sidewalk sweeping, trash removal, and or mobile trashcan-being as a counter-performance to the EDN Earth Day Street Fair. We target Capp Street, 15th to 20th from 11am to 3pm. Each participant will wear an identifiable uniform or costume, wear gloves, and carry a broom. (??) We will document this action with still photography and perhaps some gopro footage.
B Plan: We attend the Earth Day Network event on 22nd street starting at 3pm, and document how the actual event differs from our perception and conflict with Earth Day.
Complicating Distribution Plan: We will try to use the documentation of the fact on social media, to use the Yes Men methodology to give the media an in to a longstanding greivance. Can we target a supervisor for the Mission or a neighborhood group? Can we do this in other venues? Depends on the reaction.
Me, paper.
Paper and me.
It is incongruous on first glance, like many great romances.
Paper: Archival, botanical, the substrate of so much knowledge, and a surface so variable, from crisp ultra smooth to hand-poured and soft. How to fill out the profile: is it elemental, or common yet still mysterious? A flattering look for every light.
Me: Not so archival. Botanical friendly. Perhaps the opposite of the above.
Paper: A twenty century history, origins in Asia, entwined with the earliest movements of people across Eurasia, from origins in China to Japan to Spain and lower France, long before the Americas were perceived from across the Atlantic Ocean. But wait! Enter the Americas, and ideas of freedom, information, and paper, all intertwined.
Me: Imported from Detroit.
Paper: World-wide practice not centered in Europe, yet with an ancient art historical tradition which easily satisfies even the most strictly pedantic / European formalist art history probing.
Me: (Laughs to himself. Laughs, and laughs.)
Paper: (?)
Me: So you look at a back-lit LED all day, and want to look at something else, non-luminant? Paper. You find yourself living in the midst of the real-life de-materialization of objects? Paper. You actually have no confidence that you can navigate the vast proliferation of digital document formats over time, and want to standardize on one thing that multiple generations can understand and has centuries of archival understanding? PAPER.
Paper: You.
Me: You.
Me: There's more. The thing about paper is that it is still heavily used as a primary creative medium. I think on paper. I use paper to write down ideas in a notebook. I inkjet on it. I try to make big sheets of it with wet pulp and a robot. Why not? I see artist from John Cage to Nam June Paik to khole on paper. I see graphic scores, graphic diagrams for layering, random doodles, flippant marginalia, ways to describe hybrid media. I see bande dessinee from Moebius, the pop culture of Japan in the seventeenth century, and the hacker zine 2600 as a meta-universe of works that were rendered on paper. In a disparate world, there is still no more common denominator.
Paper: You.
Me: You. Even if the art jumps of the page at a later stage, it started on paper. And often comes back to it, in unexpected ways.
Paper: You.

Andy Warhol gives approval to the Whitney's the Andy Warhol Film Project at the Whitney and "hands over his original films to MoMA" for cataloging and storage in 1984.
In 1997, the Foundation donated ownership for "most" of AW's film and video works to the Museum. Also, via the AWFP above, the Museum, MoMA, and UCLA Film and Television Archive gets a copy of each restored print. The Museum currently has 273 films and the entire AW Video Collection (4k tapes). Copies of all television material owned by the Paley Center for Media, NY and LA.
New digitization partnership, accessibility push in 2014 via The Andy Warhol Museum, MoMA, and MPC. Looking to "make accessible approximately 500 titles made between 1963-1972", including 1k rolls of 16mm, marked for conversion to 2k image format.
The Whitney plans to open the new downtown building in 2016 with a retrospective of Warhol, curated by Donna De Salvo.

September 29, 1965 "The Underground Party" on the train platform under the Waldorf-Astoria. The party itself is videotaped and played back to guests (Rush, 213)
"I agreed to sponsor the world premiere of these videos in an underground location. The party was held on an unused rail platform underneath the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, adjacent to the tracks of the New York Central Railroad. Guests had to enter through a fire door on East 49th Street and descend two long staircases to reach the tracks, which then had to be crossed to reach the platform. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel was kind enough to run an electric line down to the platform so we could show the work. We had to move in by hand the bulky equipment needed to project the sound and video." (R.Ekstract, NYC).
The party in the tunnels under the Waldorf Astoria that Richard Ekstract describes so vividly celebrated the premiere of Warhol's first video with Edie Sedgwick, Outer and Inner Space (R. Dorment, NYRB)

Audio watermarking- the state of the art and results of EBU tests
This paper discusses three different aspects of audio watermarking: techniques, applications, and results of recent evaluations. Although audio watermarking is often thought of as a new technology, many of the current techniques have been known for decades. Several of these are described. The potential applications of audio watermarking are numerous, including the obvious copy protection and content identification functions. Some examples of applications and the implications for location of watermark embedders and detectors, are presented. The balance between payload capacity and robustness for different applications is assessed. The EBU has recently completed tests of the robustness and subjective quality of state-of-the-art audio watermarking systems. The test methods are described, including the attacks to which the watermarks were subjected, and the subjective test method (a combination of BS.1116 and a forced choice). The results of the tests are presented.

Nigella Lawson: A hurricane in the Star's test kitchen
British food babe Nigella Lawson, a hurricane of hips, boobs and hair, whips up a sexy pasta dish in the Star's test kitchen on her whirlwind book tour

Nigella Lawson bites her bottom lip as she snatches a giant knife off the counter with the stealth of a schoolgirl up to no good. Swiftly, she lops a loop of fabric off her curve-hugging purple dress.
The blade nearly grazes her jugular.
"The microphone got caught in my dress," she explains, batting her eyelashes coquettishly as if to make amends for doing something naughty.
"I took the impatient and slightly dangerous way out."
Impatient. Certainly. Dangerous. Perhaps a bit. Add to that larger than life with star wattage that could light the fire under a rocket ship — let alone the pilot light on a gas burner — and that's Lawson on her current tour to promote Nigellissima. An ode to Italy in pastas, from gnocchi to spaghetti, it's the celebrity's ninth and newest cookbook.
A pot of water patiently sits on the stove, precisely four ounces of hard mozzarella and a cup of grated gruyère wait in bowls and Lawson, 52, whirls into the Star's test kitchen 25 minutes late for a cooking date.
A hurricane of hips, boobs and hair, the British food babe tosses her head and unwraps her black wool coat. It slinks off her shoulders like a dressing gown, instantly transforming the culinary space into a boudoir and underscoring why she's famous for making food sexy.
But before getting down to the whisking and sprinkling of cooking Mini Macaroni & Cheese All'Italiana, a recipe from Nigellissima, Lawson sets her famously ample bottom into a chair so a makeup artist can smooth the winter's kink from her appearance.
"I look like the mad woman in the attic with my wind-swept hair," Lawson says, in her self-deprecating manner.
She doesn't. In fact, she looks gorgeous. Perhaps it's because her children, 19, 18 and 16, have left the baby years. Maybe it's because her husband is the dashing art collector Charles Saatchi. It could be that prime time agrees with her. Alongside Anthony Bourdain, Lawson is a judge on ABC's new cooking show The Taste.
Her porcelain skin might be aglow because she's started working out. "It's all fine so long as it's someone else doing it," Lawson wrote of exercise in Feast, an earlier cookbook.
She has eaten those words.
"I got to that age where I either had to eat less or move more," she says, rising from the chair, noting that eating less was not an option. "The truth is I actually quite enjoy it."
It's a wonder why pirouetting about the kitchen in calf-clenching Louboutins isn't exercise enough. Propped almost on tip toes, she flits between the Star's not-yet-boiling pot of pasta and a saucepan of chicken stock, gruyère and cornstarch, urging everything to meld before she leaves in the next 20 minutes.
Lawson cooks in heels and party dresses at her home in London, she says, if she's hungry after returning from a party.
Otherwise, she's barefoot while making meals for her family — the very dishes that have ended up in Nigellissima. Her children love the Meatzza, a glutin-free pizza-like dish that uses ground beef as its crust and they "whoop with pleasure," she writes, when Broccolini with Parmesan & Lemon (sans the lemon) hits the table.
In her booming British accent Lawson enthuses about vermouth for cooking rather than white wine, urges home cooks to always save a cup of pasta water as a base for noodle-hugging sauces and how, while we associate Italian cooking with long cooking times, it's really about techniques that are quick.
"Italians cook an awful lot on the top of the stove rather than in ovens," she says. Lawson's been in love with this way of cooking since she was 19 and spent a year in Italy, studying, working as a chambermaid and sharing wine and a window ledge overlooking the Duomo with a roommate. She picked up cooking skills watching an authentic Italian Nonna prepare meals.
Lawson throws the finally-boiled-pasta into the saucepan and brings it to the counter where she ladles the mix into individual ramekins and pops one into the oven.
Then she pops on her coat without tasting her creation, Mini Macaroni & Cheese All'ItalianaMini Macaroni & Cheese All'Italiana, a thick and oozy dish of sharp and salty deliciousness.
"I've made a complete mess," Lawson apologizes in the hallway outside the kitchen. "I'm like a man in that way."

Salcon Girls Chapter 1Chapter one: Danica's newfound bellySalcon Girls Chapter 1 by Makethemfatter
It was the end of summer in the town of Salcon. The days were growing colder; the grass was becoming less green and more yellow. While everyone was dreading the first day of school, one girl couldn't wait. This girl was Lily Garner, and she had a good reason to be excited.
You see, Lily has a fraternal twin sister named Danica. Danica had always been the star of everything at North Salcon private school: ballet, gymnastics, karate- you name it, and Danica has probably participated in it. So anyways, over the summer, Danica had become a little lazy. She ate junk food 60% of the time, stayed inside and watched TV, and barely exercised. About 2 weeks before school, her laziness was beginning to show: mainly in her belly.
It was the day school started, as Lily stood outside the bathroom door.
"Hey Dani, what's the hold up?" Cooed Lily
"Um nothing Lily! Just checking my hair!" Danica replied
"Okay, but hurry up!" Lily shouted as she walked o
Mom Gets Her WayMOM GETS HER WISHMom Gets Her Way by fanedfox
Meg loved her daughter very much. She wanted the best for her and for her happiness. Meg and Caitlin differed on the happiness issue though. Meg was quite fat. She was only 5'3" and weighed 250 lbs. she enjoyed her size as did her husband, George who also was quite fat. George weighed over 300 lbs. and he stood a stout, 5'9".
Caitlin had been a plump child and grew to be a plump teen. This changed when she went away to college in Colorado. Most of the other students, especially the women were all slim and athletic. Wanting desperately to fit in Caitlin dieted and worked out nearly everyday. She slimed down to 110 lbs. on her 5'4" frame.
This change in her daughter's body bothered Meg a great deal. She had always enjoyed eating everything she wanted. George, who loved his rotund wife as much as she loved her huge husband supported
