Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera whose forelimbs form webbed wings, making them the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight.
Bats represent about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with about 1,240 bat species divided into two suborders: the less specialized and largely fruit-eating megabats, or flying foxes, and the highly specialized and echolocating microbats. About 70% of bats are insectivores. Most of the rest are frugivores, or fruit eaters. A few species, such as the fish-eating bat, feed from animals other than insects, with the vampire bats being hematophagous.

When Mark Twain visited Hawaii in 1866 he wrote,
In one place we came upon a large company of naked natives, of both sexes and all ages, amusing themselves with the national pastime of surf-bathing.
References to surf riding on planks and single canoe hulls are also verified for pre-contact Samoa, where surfing was called fa'ase'e or se'egalu and Tonga far pre-dating the practice of surfing by Hawaiians and eastern Polynesians by over a thousand years.
George Freeth (November 8, 1883 – April 7, 1919) is often credited as being the "Father of Modern Surfing". He is also thought to have been the first modern surfer.
In 1907, the eclectic interests of land baron Henry Huntington brought the ancient art of surfing to the California coast. While on vacation, Huntington had seen Hawaiian boys surfing the island waves. Looking for a way to entice visitors to the area of Redondo Beach, where he had heavily invested in real estate, he hired a young Hawaiian riding surfboards. Freeth decided to revive the art of surfing, but had little success with the huge 16-foot hardwood boards that were popular at that time. When he cut them in half to make them more manageable, he unwittingly created the original "Long board", which made him the talk of the islands. To the delight of visitors, Freeth exhibited his surfing prowess twice a day in front of the Hotel Redondo.

The land that is now Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America to the United Kingdom in 1763 after the French and Indian War, which was essentially the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War. On July 1, 1867, three colonies federated, forming a federal dominion that established Canada.

Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet primarily consisting of seeds, nuts and other fruits, and buds. They also commonly eat grass, shoots, and many other forms of plant matter, as well as fungi, insects and other arthropods, small frogs, worms, and bird eggs.
The eastern chipmunk hibernates in the winter, while western chipmunks do not, relying on the stores in their burrows. Eastern chipmunks mate in early spring and again in early summer, producing litters of four or five young twice each year. Western chipmunks breed only once a year. The young emerge from the burrow after about six weeks and strike out on their own within the next two weeks.
Chipmunks typically live about three years, although have been observed living to nine years in captivity.

- Avs want more pressure on San Jose in Game 6
With a team built on speed, skill and strength, the San Jose Sharks figured the best way to advance past the first round of the playoffs was to use their smarts.
Dumb penalties weren't allowed, and for the most part, the Sharks' discipline helped them establish a territorial supremacy in their series against the Avalanche.
"Before the playoffs started, we wanted to make sure we had good discipline. We were giving way too many power plays at the end of the year," Sharks forward Ryane Clowe said before Saturday night's series-clinching Game 6 victory at the Pepsi Center. "I'm sure Colorado feels like they probably should get a few more calls, but I think we've been graded pretty good as far as discipline."
Heading into Game 6, San Jose was the least-penalized team in the playoffs, averaging just 7.6 minutes per game. They had enjoyed 24 power plays, 11 more than the Avs.
Dumb penalties come in a variety of forms, but San Jose focused getting rid of the stick ones while trying to defend.
"It has a lot to do with skating and using your legs, not your stick," Clowe said. "You don't want to get sticks up around the gloves or hooking and holding guys. When you have good speed and you're skating, you can finish hits, get into the forecheck and get your bumps. That's what we're doing right now. It's key to stay out of the box, obviously, and that's a big part of our game."
The preacher of this choir has been San Jose coach Todd McLellan, the second-year skipper who previously worked under Mike Babcock with the Detroit Red Wings.
"Special teams are very, very important in the playoffs. You'd prefer to have more power plays than penalty kills," McLellan said. "There's not a coach in the league that doesn't approach it that way. We talk about checking using our legs and our bodies, not sticks. To this point, we've done a pretty good job of that."
The Sharks and Avs finished with two power plays apiece in Game 6. Both teams took three penalties. San Jose outshot the Avs 34-18.
"We spent a lot of time in their zone, so therefore your tendency is not to be in the penalty box," Sharks captain Rob Blake said after the game. "That's key because if you look at these playoffs, a lot of goals are scored special teams-wise, and the better you're out of the penalty box, the better you're going to be."

International Children's Geographies Conference 2015, Children's Literature and Children's Geographies (due July 1, 2014)
full name / name of organization:
Kate Slater
contact email:
This multidisciplinary panel, to be proposed for the 4th International Children's Geographies Conference, seeks to bring together two groups researching the sociospatial constructions of young people—children's geographers and critics of children's literature—to consider the role of literature for children in creating children's geographies. Written narratives have their own important spatialities, their own methods of making visible real and imagined places of childhood. While imagined representations of place and space differ in important ways from physical locations that living children inhabit, these representations and tangible sites are also closely interrelated. Literary place and space plays a significant role in how child readers perceive and interact with the world around them, through a lens mediated by adult writers, editors, and publishers.
Topics prospective panelists might wish to address include, but are not limited to:
• Kinships and/or gaps between lived children's geographies and literary children's geographies
The International Children's Geographies Conference will be held in San Diego, CA from January 12-15, 2015. See the website (http://icgcsandiego.wix.com/ypbw) for more information.
Please send 500-word abstracts by July 1, 2014 to Kate Slater at email@example.com.

Its very odd having this much snow on the ground for so long. Its not feet and feet of snow, but the most I've ever seen here and makes a nice change from the bright neon green grass from the last 2 winters.
The mountains look gorgeous with all the snow on them :) Going to try to remember to get some photos tomorrow. As much as I want to go up and get some pictures up close, I don't want to take the chance the car would break down and then we would be stuck eating the crumbs that have fallen into the seats (yes I guess cannibalism could be an option, but with all the crap we have eaten the last few days, its not an appealing one :p)

Thabo Sefolosha stymies Deron Williams; OKC wins
SALT LAKE CITY — As Thabo Sefolosha strolled to his seat, getting a much-deserved breather near the conclusion of the third quarter, a fan near the Thunder bench aimlessly shouted, "No, Durant was supposed to come out." Little did the poor guy know, Thunder coach Scott Brooks was doing Utah fans a solid, because it was Sefolosha who silently stymied their beloved Jazz and sparked the Thunder's 104-94 win on Tuesday night at Energy Solutions Arena. And while Durant certainly did his part, with easily identifiable playmaking consisting of pinpoint passes and big-time buckets, Sefolosha made his mark where he routinely does — on the less glamorous defensive end. The Thunder notched its fifth road win and first in Utah since 2007 because of one key defensive switch Brooks made to start the second half. The Thunder's coach put Sefolosha on Jazz point guard Deron Williams, who had single-handedly kept the game from turning into a blowout late in the first half. At halftime, Williams had eight points on 4-for-9 shooting to go with six assists. Williams, who entered the game averaging 19.8 points and 9.9 assists, finished the game with 10 points on 5-of-14 shooting and nine assists. Williams was 1-for-5 from the field in the third quarter. His lone basket after halftime came on a breakaway. While Sefolosha was glued to him, Williams had just one assist and committed two turnovers in the third quarter. The Thunder outscored the Jazz 31-16 in the period. "He was unbelievable," Durant said of Sefolosha. "Deron Williams is a tough cover at the point guard position. He did a great job on him. That's what we need from him every night and that's what he's been doing." Brooks used a similar strategy, switching Sefolosha on the opponent's point guard in wins at San Antonio and at home last Friday against Washington. "We feel we can put him on (point guards, shooting guards and small forwards) and he does a good job," Brooks said. "He just stays with it. Deron is an All-Star player in my mind and he did a good job on him." Williams finished with season-high-tying seven of Utah's 24 turnovers, resulting in 25 Thunder points as Oklahoma City used a team-oriented effort to make the Jazz pay on the other end. The Thunder recorded 25 assists, led by Durant's team-high eight to go along with his game-high 28 points. On almost every offensive possession, the Thunder had four and five passes before attempting a shot. Every starter had at least three assists, a clear sign that players were paying attention to Brooks' message during an hour-long film session that focused on ball movement Monday. "I thought throughout the game we just did a good job of passing the ball, sharing the ball, believing in each other and having some trust," Brooks said. The renewed selflessness led to 48.7 percent shooting from the field and 8-for-18 shooting from behind the 3-point line one game after the Thunder missed 20 of 23 from downtown against the Los Angeles Lakers. "We all wanted to bounce back from that last game," said James Harden. "That wasn't us. So we just wanted to go out there and compete, help each other out and really get after it on the defensive end."

XJack Issue
Is anyone on this forum using the inflatable Bushranger XJack? If so, how do you get good seal between the XJack rubber cone and the exhaust pipe?
I have a Wrangler JK and cannot get a good seal. The problem seems to be caused by the steep taper of the Xjack rubber cone and the non-circular tip of the exhaust pipe. Even when I apply firm hand pressure to affect a good seal the majority of the exhaust gas escapes.
If you've figured out a workaround please post. Thanks.

Movie review: 'Man of Steel'
Director Zack Snyder ("Watchmen") is tasked with updating Superman for the 21st century in "Man of Steel," a potentially herculean task he accomplishes with mixed success.
The screenplay by David S. Goyer ("Batman Begins") takes elements from the 75-year history of the character, and adds in new pieces as well, to make a Superman movie that's unlike any we've seen before.
Jor-El (Russell Crowe) is the pre-eminent scientist on Krypton, a distant planet filled with a mix of high-tech wonders and fantastical creatures. Jor-El has determined that Krypton has very little time left, and has taken unusual steps to ensure the continuation of his people. Meanwhile, General Zod (Michael Shannon), Krypton's military leader, executes a coup against Krypton's ruling council. By the time Krypton meets its end, Zod and his cohorts have been exiled, and Jor-El and his wife Lara (Ayelet Zurer) have sent their only son to Earth. On Earth, the yellow sun will endow young Kal-El with extraordinary powers.
Kal-El's youth and young adulthood are explored in a series of scenes interspersed with scenes of the older Kal-El performing scenes of largely anonymous heroism. Kal-El was raised as Clark Kent on a farm in Smallville, Kan. by Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha (Diane Lane) Kent. Clark's anonymity is threatened when he must rescue journalist Lois Lane (Amy Adams), who is investigating a Kryptonian artifact. As Lois digs for the mystery man's identity, another threat looms. The revived General Zod and his minions have found their way to Earth, where they demand the immediate surrender of Kal-El of Krypton.
Kal is on a race to discover his past and protect his, and his adopted planet's, future, as he remembers lessons from both of his fathers.
The casting is spot on. Cavill looks born to play Krypton's last son. Amy Adams is a different Lois Lane than we've seen, but completely inhabits the go-getting journalist. Shannon is appropriately menacing and convincing as Zod. Russell Crowe's Jor-El starts the movie with appealing pace; it seems as if this Jor-El could have carried a movie on his own.
The film suffers from a few problems in pacing, plot and moral center. Furthermore, as with most superhero movies of recent vintage, the ending is overlong with a lot of over-the-top digitally created action. But for fans who want a Superman who throws a punch, "Man of Steel" provides quite a haymaker.
Ultimately some of the problems the film faces involve living up to the legacy of the character Superman. Most of the film's flaws — or perhaps, choices — are amplified when applied to that standard. Whether that's a problem with the film, a problem with society or not a problem at all will be up to each viewer to judge.

The set draws the listener in with twelve numbers of sustained brilliance and is the "Return of the Jazz Communicators". It swings! Louis Hayes knows a thing or two about swing. He co-founded the Jazz Communicators with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard in 1967, after offering to present a summer's worth of performances in a club in Manhattan with a band that had not actually been founded at the time of the offer!

While testing the queue capacity limits, it appears that the job can exceed the
queue capacity limit by one task while the user limit factor is 1. It's not
clear to me why this is.
Here is the steps to reproduce:
1) set yarn.app.mapreduce.am.resource.mb to 2048 (default value)
2) set yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.default.user-limit-factor to 1.0 (default)
3) set yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.default.capacity to 90 (%)
4) For a cluster with capacity of 56G, 90% rounded up is 51.
5) submit a job with large number of tasks, each task using 1G memory.
6) webui shows that the used resource is 52 G, which is 92.9% of the cluster
capacity (instead of the expected 90%), and 103.2% of the queue capacity
(instead of the expected 100%).

- Work Log

I'm still following this through to fully understand, but there is a comment in the code in LeafQueue that tries to explain this:
// Note: We aren't considering the current request since there is a fixed
// overhead of the AM, but it's a > check, not a >= check, so...
Which I don't totally follow, I guess if you have one job in the queue that is taking the entire capacity, it allows the job to be more like it was in mrv1 and tries not to penalize you for the AM overhead. The AM however is doing the setup and clean tasks where as in mrv1 it would need to allocate a slot for those. The AM may have fixed overhead but that overhead is configurable. I could create an AM with 24G of memory or use the default of 1.5G. Or on the flip side, I have an AM that uses 1.5G, but have a map task that now gets scheduled and uses 24G which puts it way over its capacity. That could affect the queue current usage greatly and seems to break the capacity guarantee.
In the case where you say have 2 jobs in the queue, you have 2 app masters, one of which is "counted' against your queue and then the other one is not.
I do see it beneficial to queues with very small capacities though, as without this they could be stuck without enough resources to run a task.
Arun or anyone else familiar with capacity scheduler, if you could provide explanation that would be great.
Moving bugs out of previously closed releases into the next minor release 2.8.0.

It seems Lindsay Lohan's career has hit yet another snag. The SXSW Film Festival has reportedly passed on premiering her film "The Canyons" after screening it due to "quality issues."
But, producer Braxton Pope stands by the film despite the criticism. " 'The Canyons' is a controversial, provocative piece of filmmaking," Pope told MTV News exclusively in response to The Hollywood Reporter report. "The content of the film is incompatible with provincial film sensibilities. When the film is released, audiences will decide whether it is successful or not."
[mtvn_player vid="791605"]
A source close to the festival, which takes place this March in Austin, told THR that they passed on the film for a number of reasons, including the fact that "it's got an ugliness and a deadness to it."
"Regarding SXSW, as an alum of the festival, having produced two films that premiered there, I received an email from the head of the fest apologizing for their lack of professionalism in talking to the press," Pope told MTV News.
This not the film's first film festival rejection. Earlier this month, TMZ reported that the Sundance Film Festival passed on the project as well.
Along with Lohan, "The Canyons" stars adult film star James Deen. It was written by Bret Easton Ellis and directed by Paul Schrader. The film revolves around young people in Hollywood and the seedy underbelly of the glitzy city. Last year, Pope spoke to MTV News about hiring the troubled actress for a lead in the flick and seemed unconcerned by her tabloid dramas.
"What's kind of lost in a lot of the Lindsay discussions is the fact that Lindsay is a very talented actress," he said. "She's very charismatic and she has a lot of acting skills. So her lifestyle and some of the things that she's gone through have tended to kind of overwhelm the fact, but Lindsay has kind of real talent. So for this part, we felt that she was really the right actor for a host of different reasons."

LotusUserGroup.org is becoming SocialBizUG.org!

By Joyce Davis
 IBM Collaboration Solutions community manager

Several years ago, the folks at Wellesley Information Services (WIS) launched LotusUserGroup.org as a way to support the Lotus community and user groups around the world who meet to collaborate locally and/or online. At the time, site members were primarily users of Notes and Domino. Over the last 8 years, user group membership has triple and IBM's portfolio has expanded considerably.

 Today, just in time for IBM Connect, WIS is launching SocialBizUG.org, a new site that not only better reflects the broader IBM social business technology landscape, but also takes advantage of the collaborative capabilities of IBM solutions like IBM Connections and Domino XPages. More importantly, the site is supported by a team of online community experts who drive content creation, curation, and community engagement. IBM is proud to sponsor this effort, and I will be working closely with the SocialBizUG.org team to coordinate IBM Collaboration Solutions (ICS) community activities with those of the user group community. If you're at IBM Connect, be sure to look for people with SocialBizUG.org t-shirts who can share more about the user group community and make sure you're registered for the site.

SocialBizUG.org is the first publically-accessible user group community site using IBM Connections 4, giving members the ability to create profiles, connect with peers, read and write blogs, publish wikis, share files, and much more. Authentication is not required to search the site, so users can easily find available content, enabling broader audience reach and community growth.

Benefits of the new SocialBizUG.org site include:

Valuable and varied content—articles, blogs, whitepapers, webcasts, forum discussions, ideation blogs, wikis, and much more. Because content ranges from technical (e.g., developer, admin) to non-technical (e.g., social business adoption), both IT professionals and business users can find the information they need to drive social business transformation.

Search capability—Search specific topics and get complete results in seconds, whether you're logged in or not.

Improved design and navigation—a user-friendly design, refined navigation, re-designed pages, and added new features.

New ways to develop your personal network—find members based on their interests or areas of expertise and add them to your network.

Ideation blogs—participate in online brainstorming sessions that foster collaboration, creative problem solving, and thought leadership.

Individual member blogs—share success stories, learning experiences and new ideas.

Customizable user group pages—User groups can now post specific announcements to their members on their own page hosted on SocialBizUG.org.

User profiles—create a profile, upload photos and files, and share details about your experience, skill set, projects, interests, and more.

Members of LotusUserGroup.org can visit SocialBizUG.org and log in using the same email and password from their Lotus User Group account. New members can register for their free accounts there as well. The site is a game-changer and giant step forward for the community focused on social business and IBM Collaboration Solutions.

Stay tuned to this blog for an invitation to our January 22nd IBM Collaboration Solutions community webcast where the team behind SocialBizUG.org will introduce you to the new site and answer any questions you have about the user group community.

Social Connections IV event demonstrates the power of community

Last week in Amsterdam, I had the pleasure of participating in Social Connections IV, a conference for IBM Connections users. As Alan Hamilton mentions in his great recap blog post, this event is organized and run by a group of dedicated volunteers who genuinely care about building community and sharing knowledge around social business tools and techniques.

 This was the first user group event I'd attended and I was blown away! Femke Goedhart, Stuart McIntyre, Sharon Bellamy and Simon Vaughan led the planning, and their organizational skills and creativity shined! Starting with a great keynote presentation by Chris Crummey, followed by 25+ breakout sessions and valuable social time where folks could connect and network, the conference was chock-full of opportunities to learn about and practice social business. Just days earlier, about 800 km northeast of Amsterdam, other volunteers were running the two-day DanNotes conference in Copenhagen.

As a community manager, it's inspiring to see so many people who truly understand the value of connecting with others who are passionate about collaboration and social business. Getting to know each other in real life makes our online experiences even richer, and I look forward to continuing conversations with many community members I met for the first time in Amsterdam.

I hope of you will be attending IBM Connect in January (don't forget discount registration ends on Monday!), and I hope that you'll also check out local user group events for those "mini-Connect/Lotusphere" experiences that occur throughout the year. Many thanks to all the volunteers who spend countless hours doing the behind-the-scenes work so that those of us attendees and speakers can just waltz in and soak it up. We appreciate it!

Be sure to check out the Social Connections Slideshare site to view many of the presentations that were conducted in Amsterdam. I've embedded my "Seven Habits of a Successful Community Manager" slides below. I'm honored to have been asked to present and I hope to have the privilege to speak again someday (perhaps I won't be quite as sick-to-my-stomach nervous next time!).

Yes, I'm a fan of Zelda, but I also think this is a great name. My gamer husband is also on board, which is rare. You definitely don't see this name around, which I love, and people can spell it.

Zelda is my top name for a girl. I love meanings and this one is my favorite. I have also seen it mean warrior princess. OMG, love it. Add in a name meaning wise and I get a wise warrior princess. Sign me up! Plus, I loved The Legend of Zelda series, but of all my friends & family who I told this name to, only the gamers mentioned the game. Everyone else was like "where did you find that name," LOL.

Many of the people were killed by being swept away or there house collapsed on them. The rain caused many mudslides and the people had to evacuate in some parts of the country.

Diablo III
Question from JungleMidget
Merchants for Achievement: Shut up and take my money!(?)
I need to find an in game merchant who sells any mighty weapon and a merchant who sells any spirit stone (monk only head piece). This is for the achievement "Shut up and take my money!" These are the only two items I've been unable to find and I can't find anything to help me on the web!

The spirit stone merchant is the one that spawn with a quest in the watch tower level 2. If he is not near the entrance of level 2, just leave and retry. After the quest, he wil drop a lore books, sell you a spirit stone and you just met 1 more merchant for the achiv. As for mighty weapon,I got it from the merchant in act2 that spawn in a random cellar.

Venders change what they sell periodically. If they don't sell what you need in one game, make a new one. It's luck of the draw. You may even have to wait for Inferno to get the items you need.

Find a check point located near a merchant. Several merchants are available at New Tristram in Act I and the city in Act II. Exit and re-enter your game. The inventory of your selected weapon merchant will change. Different weapon merchants cater to different classes.
I used this trick to get rings of agony with the DMG stats I wanted from "the fence" merchant in Act II.

The merchants in town are generally always going to have the exact same types of items, just with different stats, for sale.
To find what you're looking for, you need to locate one of the "wandering merchants" and just hope he has what you need. They're all randomly and not 100% spawning though so might take some effort to find them.

Spirit stone can be bought from a merchant in Act II Dalghur Oasis, i think there are 2 cellar where the merchant will appear.

There's no getting around the fact that the market is soft. But it was very interesting to hear Evan discuss in detail the rationale for the recent small acquisitions (the Korean life insurer and the US rural crop insurer), among other topics. The only insurance CEO who I enjoy listening to more is Bill Berkley.Overall I liked what I heard and I will hold my shares.
Sounds good to me.

jenkviz 0.3.2
Crawl a jenkins build and report stats and graphs about the build flow.
Tool to crawl a Jenkins site using a build url and producing a SVG output to render the build flow.
The SVG graph displays: - A summary box with:
- the total elapsed time
- the cumulated duration for each build
- a throughput (duration/elapsed)
- number of builds
- Black arrows to render upstream and downstream relation
- Orange arrows to render downstream only relation
- Build with a blue/yellow/red/gray box for Success/Unstable/Failed/Aborted build status
Build information are stored in a local sqlite database. The database is used as a cache to not fetch twice a build page but also to get information using plain SQL:sqlite3 ~/jenkviz.db -- Slowest jobs sqlite> SELECT name, SUM(duration_s), MAX(duration_s), AVG(duration_s), COUNT(1) FROM build GROUP BY name ORDER BY SUM(duration_s) DESC LIMIT 10; -- Slave load sqlite> SELECT host, SUM(duration_s) FROM build GROUP BY host ORDER BY SUM(duration_s) DESC LIMIT 10;
jenkviz [–version] [–logfile=LOGFILE] [–database=DATABASE] COMMAND [OPTIONS] ARGUMENTS
jenkviz -h
crawl [–direct|–reverse|–explore] [–output SVG_FILE] JENKINS_BUILD_URL
The --direct option shows only downstream and upstream relation, removing downstream only link.
The --reverse option crawl backward using upstream builds.
The --explore option to keep downstream builds that have upstream build out of the scope of the origin build (the upstream build is not a descendant of the root build)

A Virgin Wolf on the Hunt
About myself
Plain and simple looking guy. very hairy around the body. and no its staying. I'm still a virgin at 25. not really from a religious choice, I just haven't had time due to being in the military. I really was just trying to keep people away from me so i could focus on saving up money and getting through the work day. now that I'm in my last year of service I kind of want to knock out that last bit of innocence for lack of a better term. I have had pretty much every fetish run through my head so I am up to try and learn as much as i can. i'm not really looking for anything long term just because i plan on moving up north next summer so if you just want a pet to play with for a while i'm you man.
The person I would like to meet
Looking for a strong and educated women. looking just for a sexual teacher. I'm up for pretty much anything. my time is limited do to my work times so weekends are really my only free time. curse of being in the militart. i have my own apartment and car so privacy and transportation are not an issue.
About my work
I'm a mechanic on airplane engines. its greasy and stressful and i'm glad to be soon done with my enlistment so i can get back to college.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
movies, theater. gaming on the side. I like just going out driving. no destination just go. getting lost is fun. I like parks and relaxing out side provided the temperature is just right and there is a nice breeze flowing around.
My idea of a great date
A great stake or ribs in the moon light just laughing and enjoying each others company. then a night that makes me just check off the near endless number of fetishes i want to try. i'm a virgin so i don't know what I will like till i try it.
What is your fantasy vacation?
going to Ireland and getting a big castle and just living in it all Renaissance stlye. having a bed covered in silk and just enjoying the view.
What is your academic background?
some college and military teachings
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
have yet to have one really.
What do you find attractive in people?
honesty and confidence. and not apologizing for being honest about their sexual natures.
What do others do that irritate you?
lie and back out of commitments. throwing others under a bus when the shit hits the fan. and just plan being overbearing. we all have faults don't point mine out cus i already know them.
What do you think is your best quality?
my honesty and caring. I generally do give a damn when someone comes to me for help.
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
be a bit less lazy. once i get things started i'm good but that first push to do anything holds me back on so many things i do like to do.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
are you with in a sensible driving range (25-50) and will you educate me in all things sex. cus i'm up to learn it all.
Describe your physique.
average but ever so pushing a bit on the flabby side. i'm only 175 but i don't have a 6 pack or anything. just got a little belly fat. also i'm a very hair guy. i like my hair so its staying. plus i'v pretty much lost all of it on my head so i want to keep what i have everywhere else. and whats wrong with hair? people like dogs and cats and their furry as hell!. i'm just saying i'm bring the 70s back.
What do you do well sexually?
no idea being a virgin but i have spirit and i think a pretty good stamina built up. I was known at giving good back massages back in high school so my fingers are strong and nimble.
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
again no idea but I'm eager to find out. the back of my neck is a weak spot i know.
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
all of it...
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
none of it :(
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
a one night would be fine but i would like a teacher so "play for a while" would be better. i don't know about the long term cus i will be moving next summer.
Free Space. Say anything you want!
being open and honest to you all. I'm more then happy to hang out but at the end of the night i do want to learn something interesting about sex. its a life goal i have yet to make and its been way to long. its not that i'm unattractive (i think) i just don't have the free time to date so one nights or a scheduled meet up would be better.

According to an anonymously sourced report on Gawker, David Barksdale, a 27-year-old former Google engineer, was fired in July after the search company found he'd been spying on four teenagers. Barksdale met the kids at a Seattle-area technology group while working in Google's Kirkland offices. Using the access granted to him as a member of an elite technical group, he reportedly hacked into their GChat, Google Voice and e-mail accounts for reasons that aren't entirely clear.
In an incident this spring involving a 15-year-old boy who he'd befriended, Barksdale tapped into call logs from Google Voice, Google's Internet phone service, after the boy refused to tell him the name of his new girlfriend, according to our source. After accessing the kid's account to retrieve her name and phone number, Barksdale then taunted the boy and threatened to call her.Although it's easy to suspect the worst of a 27-year-old guy spying on teens, it appears that Barksdale was mainly motivated to hack simply because he could, and also because he thought it might impress the kids.
What motivated Barksdale to snoop on these teens is not entirely clear. Our source said Barksdale's harassment did not appear to be sexual in nature, although his online communication with the minors (such as inviting underage kids to attend to the movies with him) demonstrated extraordinarily questionable judgment on Barksdale's part. "My gut read on the situation was that there wasn't any strong sexual predatory behavior, just a lot of violating people's personal privacy," our source explained.Given that so much personal information passes through its servers every day, it's pretty scary to imagine what could happen were there to be more Barksdales working for Google. But Gawker goes overboard when they say that "the biggest threat to kids' privacy might be Google employees themselves."
Pshaw. As TechCrunch notes, Google employs close to 20,000 people, has been around for a decade and this is only the second time one of its engineers has been fired for accessing user data. Not the perfect record you'd like to see, but not a reason to freak out either.

Recording information: Rootball Studio, Austin, TX.
Photographer: Steve Harris .
Anybody who has followed the development of Ray Wylie Hubbard as an artist over the last dozen years or so has had to be keenly aware that he's been moving through changes in lyric style, melodic invention, and production styles. He's also been on a spiritual odyssey in his music that culminated on the excellent Eternal & Lowdown. Growl is a record of an awareness gained; it is expressed in the most basic, elemental physical and emotional truths (from humor to doubt to surrender to anger at hypocrisy) in these songs. The truth expressed on Growl -- the most aptly named of all Hubbard's recordings -- is in a dirty-hands, mud-romping, greasy, rock & roll inbred with Delta blues. This is music comprised of exposed innards, cutting honesty, scab-ripping emotion, and pure, badass Texas attitude. Produced by Gurf Morlix -- he also minded the store on Eternal & Lowdown -- the band is basically Hubbard (on lead -- a first -- and slide guitars), Morlix (on bass and lead guitars), and Rick Richards (drums), with guests including Mary Gauthier, Scrappy Judd, Buddy Miller, and Jon Dee Graham. And it should be noted that Hubbard has become a heck of a guitar player in the last six years. There isn't a weak cut on the set, all of it drenched in the midnight smoke and grit of the blues as it couples with early rock & roll under a blood-red moon. The set opens with "Knives of Spain," which features a killer guitar part by Miller. It's a songwriter's spiritual, full of "ifs" that have already come to pass for Hubbard, which is why he can write from the craggy fissure in the center of the song's truth: "If I had some poet's wings/I would fly to New Orleans/I'd rhyme my trials and misdeeds/So if you cut the words they would bleed/And in the night when I'm all alone/And the sadness goes to the bone/I'd make the words in the refrain/As lethal as the knives of Spain." As he continues, and the band turns up the volume, bringing the tension to the breaking point, it becomes evident that all of this has already come to pass in Hubbard. His haunted voice speaks that this is the other side of the desert of revelation: it's not bliss, not rapture, but a sincere, if bloodied, gratitude and the desire to always tell a truth so mucky and messy it cuts to the bone. One could write an entire essay on this song alone, or stop here, taking it in over and over, deep within oneself, and never get to the bottom of its mystery. But Hubbard's not done; he revisits the past on "No Lie," a paean to giving up the wasted life and becoming immersed in the roots of his inspiration. Growl is not only about bad luck, hard-won wisdom, and knowledge, though. "Name Droppin'" is one of the lightest-weight tunes Hubbard's ever written, but its groove is eternal, it's backbone-slipping, humpin'-on-the-box-springs, sweating blues in raw-rock overdrive. Guitars and fiddles undulate against the rhythm section in a sinful, copulating embrace that feels so good it's a miracle it's still legal. "Purgatory Road" is a blues-drenched painting by Thomas Hart Benton. It's rough truth -- stark, knife-slashing images without judgment or anything but reportorial calm. Welcome to the hard times; this is where darkness and light don't know how to identify themselves, let alone one another. "Bones" is almost a part two with hoodoo thrown in, and the redemption in the song is in the slide blues itself. This is bottleneck playing honed razor sharp, and can be praised for plenty in its lyric and melody, but the fineness of its blue-black slash groove is enough. "Preacher" is an indictment of hypocrisy, but it's not obvious; it's rooted in the same tradition as Mississippi Fred McDowell's -- he didn't need the minister, he encountered his God personally and let the struggle of that truth come out in his playing. "Rock-n-Roll Is a Vicious Game" is a stomping throb that is equal parts roots rock smoker and is the warning side of an earlier Hubbard song, "Loco Gringos Lament," or could have been the story of the L.A. band Sublime or one of 100 other bands. The cosmic, in Hubbard's own trademark way, is revisited on "Stolen Horses," with a wrist-slipping resonator guitar burn leading his musings on reincarnation. The groove takes the body down the slippery spine road to a place where it wishes for another chance at a smoky, shimmering groove like this one and the mind to place where perhaps it considers the subject in a different, more sensual way. The album closes with a country-rocker destined to be (in)famous, "Screw You, We're From Texas," an anthem that tells the fools who don't understand his music to f&%$ off. "It's Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother," without the drunken pathos, is humor disguised as punked-out roots rock (early ZZ Top meets the White Stripes). It works, but I'm glad it's the album's final track and not its first -- and that's not a criticism. The highest praise that can be heaped on Growl is that perhaps it should have been released on Fat Possum, the now-legendary Delta label that releases the raw-as-steamy blues records of masters such as R.L. Burnside, the late Junior Kimbrough, Paul "Wine" Jones, and the Jelly Roll Kings. It would have fit without a glitch. This is for rollin' in the hay, fighting in the mud, twisting between the sheets, and turning your partner out all over the dancehall floor; and when it's over, you'll be dirty, sweaty, grimy, and grateful to be alive to enjoy the murkier pleasures of the earth, the flesh, and the spirit. ~ Thom Jurek

I saw my OB at about 10 weeks due to bleeding and cramping. On ultrasound, the baby appeared to be just fine-- very active and very much alive, but my OB detected a small area where the placenta had separated. I was not given any restrictions-- no bed rest, no restricted activity, no pelvic rest and I've been trying very hard not to worry too much about it, but that's difficult.
From looking through my pregnancy books and doing a little internet "research" it appears that placental separation is uncommon before 20 weeks, and there's not a lot of information on it, so I thought I'd ask here-- what are my risks that this separation will worsen or become more severe? Am I at a more elevated risk for a more severe case of placental abruption later in pregnancy than an "average" pregnant woman? Is this something that should be monitored closely, or something that's not a cause for concern unless the bleeding resumes or worsens?
Thanks Dr. K, or anyone who has any insight, for your help.

PANAMA CITY - Nearly 6,000 people in Bay County will be paying more for their water and sewage service.
County commissioners approved a utilities rate increase for the county's retail customers. The proposal would affect the Cedar Grove, Southport and other unincorporated areas of Bay County.
County officials say customers will pay an extra $19 a month or $225 a year for the average use of about 5,000 gallons of water.
Commissioners say the increase is necessary to keep the county from losing half a million dollars a year. Customers will see the increase in next month's bill.

Jerzy Janowicz to meet David Ferrer
Updated: November 3, 2012, 7:22 PM ETAssociated Press
PARIS -- At the start of the year, Jerzy Janowicz couldn't afford to travel to the Australian Open. Now he's in line for a major payday, with only David Ferrer standing in the way of his first career title.
Janowicz beat Gilles Simon 6-4, 7-5 on Saturday to become the first qualifier in eight years to reach the Paris Masters final. Ferrer, the only seed in the semifinals at No. 4, outlasted Michael Llodra 7-5, 6-3.

I need to get things back in order. Life is far too chaotic for me right now. DH has had the living room torn up (in stages) for 4 weeks now -- and it will still be at LEAST another week. I HATE living with crap everywhere because then there's no "home" for things, and things just end up everywhere, and then I can't find them. argh!
Anyway, I will be taking it kinda easy this summer -- I will be having radioactive iodine for my thyroid soon, and in order to do that, I have to stop my medication 2 weeks in advance -- which means I will go EXTREMELY hyperthyroid before the procedure. From there, I go back on my meds, and I will eventually stop them again, and take the opposite medicine because I should go hypothyroid. From what I understand, it can take a VERY long time to get regulated. It *could* go easy, and I could get fairly regulated in 3 weeks -- it could take as long as a year. Generally the doctor tells people to plan for 6 months. So.... that said... anyone want to come help me clean and organize for the next 6 months??? I will probably spend much more time online over the next 6 months, and far less time actually DOING anything. We'll see, though. In order to prepare for that, I NEED to get my living room back!
Anyway, I told DH the other day -- no more "projects!" Our next "project" needs to be GETTING RID OF CRAP. I so desperately want to be more of a minimalist! It is far easier to keep clean when you have less crap!
So... what's on your agenda?
What's on your TO DO LIST for today? for this week? for this month?
