I loved the story. I would find it easy to believe it is a true story and not just something you made up. So ignore the nay sayers. Simply unless you have had to live though a cheating spouse, you can't say how one should act. So much depends on how strong the marriage is when the cheating is discoverd.
As they say "been there done that".by MattAker10/18/12
I agree with the last few...
You DID turn it into a wimp story... The skank even lied in her apology, saying she only cheated once... "I was so lonely, and it was once, just once."
Shows how much trust hubby can place in her... Never heard the saying fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me? Someone lying after all that doesn't deserve trust...by Drbeamer333301/16/13by LarryArcher04/09/13
Okay you've pretty well redeemed yourself :)
Not too shabby, get rid of the first few paragraphs before wifey discovers that she's a lezbo also. The slut had it coming and I think hubby needs to punish her a little more. Put her on her knees and let her suck the new girls pussy while hubby reams her little slut rear end out.
Isn't the story a lot better when the sex is fun. Personally I'd shop around for a good strap-on and let Amanda take care of wife's cheating ass. While Amanda was nailing that slut's ass, I'd be fucking her in the mouth to teach her a lesson!
P.S. This story is much better than the first one. People don't have to be guilty or mad to enjoy recreational sex.by HardFelt04/16/13by Anonymous06/20/13
a woman's fantasy. With women constantly complaining how men cheat, as if women never do, this just is not a realistic fantasy. Makes women happy, but for a faithful man, this is disgusting and not sexy. The a normal husband wouldnot have accepted her action - especially because she recorded it to see later. Lonely? Gosh and he was not lonely. He cheated? Not erotic, not a man's way of looking at this situation.by chytown07/21/13by Anonymous08/03/13by EgoTrixi08/03/13by tae35200111/23/13
could be better
Lot of your stories had a mix of imagination, and erotic talent behind them, this, felt like you were rushed to make a next chapter. You steered away from the situation, he discovered her affair, perhaps others too. If your writing style is not cheating wives, then stay away from the topic. In reality there is no erotic theme when a husband or spouse discovers the tragic truth of lies and betrayal from their spouse. Retaliation would occur when presented itself. He would have sought out to ruin those men that willing entered his home, his bed and his wife. Their families and spouses would feel the same pain and loss as he felt. You want to include a prostitute in the chapter, fine, but with both woman in the scene, honestly doubtful. the video took his spirit away, in regards to his wife. Those special shared emotions and desires he experienced with his wife are truly gone, worse her cheating was on their marriage bed. I would if this is part of your story ideas, re write chapter 2 with a more fitting approach.by Anonymous12/20/13by Goldeniangel12/20/13
Here's the thing... I actually agree with you. My husband is well aware that if he ever cheated, I might do more than just leave him, I might Lorena Bobbit his ass (well... other body part). And I hold myself to the same standard in real life. But the POINT of this STORY is cheating and I don't like stories where someone gets hurt by their spouse, so ALL of my Loving Wives stories are going to end up with the husband being okay with what happened... because otherwise it's just too sad and upsetting to me. I don't want to deal with it in a way that I find more realistic, I like the fantasy better. If you don't like that, that's fine, but I'm not the only one who writes that way... not sure why you're wasting your time reading the category.by betrayedbylove12/23/13
Not My Style
Again no rating. I never venture into this category so I won't attempt to rate it as such. However, in reference to ch.1, the wife lied saying she only cheated once and we know she didn't stop until she realized it wasn't a replacement for her husband. Still she would have went to her grave never saying anything to her clueless. faithful husband, sort of like my true life situation.
How about writing a tale where the husband is a cheating asshole and let the wife accept it. I'll read it. Let me know if you will attempt this feat.by Anonymous12/31/13
Another accepting cuckold.
How is the cheating slut wife having sex with another woman going to erase the pain of discovering her cheating in the first place? He's made a devastating discovery and all of a sudden he's going to be okay? And in the same day? Without a chance to process the entire mess. It seems highly improbable. That's why I rated this story a "1".by TornadoTys03/09/14
Weak Punishment !
Though I am not BTB if she make a genuine mistake, however if the sort out to cheat and humiliate the husband then he should go nuclear on her !
In this case the wife should have been ordered to watch the husband with Amanda and go through the ordeal of seeing her husband taking Amanda anally with passion !
Then afterwards for round 2 she could get involved in a 3sum.
The wife got off way to lightly. The husband should have a free pass to keep seeing Amanda for a year !by Anonymous05/17/14
She cheats while he's away....multiple times (7) by her own estimates,over a two month period. Has the STUPIDITY to videotape it...and KEEP it for 4yrs! After discovering the past indiscretion,Her husband asks for 1 night by himself to think things over...and she can't even give him that! Goldeniangel's twist on how the Hubster handles this? The husband picks up a woman ....and let's her fuck his wife. Wow! I bet that will teach Suzie a lesson! Just a crap ending. I'm a BTB type of guy,but will admit there are times when restraint is useful and necessary. THIS..was not one of them. Why not just make the ending one big sleepover pillow fight. Lame. -BGunnsby Anonymous07/07/14by looking4it08/24/14by Anonymous10/13/14
He's right to want to end the marriage he started up right away which means she must have been in contact with him already. The husband also had a girl in the same day willing to do him and his wife when she shows up. Sounded like he may have been fooling around with her already. What kind of wife is she if she can't wait 5 months? She also let herself cheating on her working husband to be filmed , what a slut. Can never trust herby BGunns12/11/14by BuzzCzar12/17/14by KarenE01/27/15by KarenE01/27/15by Bfreetorun04/28/15
You need, author, to force yourself to write a BTB story IF YOU CAN.
All these wimpy writers who let a wife say "I"m sorry, I was lonely, it was only sex" and get by with it needs THEIR wives to pull the same trick and see how THEY respond. If this is the best you can do I will try to remember to not read any more of your work as I can remember to not read Matt M. who never knew a cheating wife or a husband that accepted being a cuckold that he did not like. Even some of the better writers slip in a cuckold that accepts it once in a while. Not for me to read but good luck with your wife, hope she never cheats.by SuddenThunder04/28/15by Goldeniangel04/29/15
*rolls eyes*
I would like to remind readers that 1. this story is fictional and 2. you shouldn't make assumptions. I'm not only a woman, I'm a wife, and I've never cheated in my life. Not on my husband, not on a boyfriend and not even on a guy that I was just dating. I also write non-con stories, even though I am vehemently against rape / molestation / sexual assault in real life. It's the difference between a fantasy that stays in your head and reality. Literotica is about fantasies.
If you don't like cheating fantasies, then you probably shouldn't read cheating fantasy stories. I suggest you check out some erotic couplings, romance or novellas, which you will probably enjoy more. Although, what it looks like you really enjoy doing is going around judging people based on your erroneous assumptions and telling them what to do. That says a lot more about you than it does about me and my cheating stories.by Anonymous09/01/15
KInd of feel that nothing was resolved here
My first wife cheated on me dozens of times in the three years we were married; while I was spending weeks away with my colleagues, trying to make our business pay-off, she'd be off on the town, and she probably fucked half the town; to my certain knowledge, revealed in court papers, there were at least six different men she'd slept with multiple times while we were married. When I found out and confronted her, her excuse was "I was lonely..."
I asked her if she was lonely why the fuck didn't she get a dog, or go stay with my parents, instead of dragging a whole parade of dirt-bags and lowlifes to fuck in my bed; it made my skin crawl to think I'd been sleeping in that bed with her after she'd fucked Christ knows who there. I kicked her sorry arse out, and slammed the door in her face when she had the gall to ask me if we 'could work this out', and never said another word to her.
Our divorce was conducted without us ever meeting again, but everything I had when I married her was held in a family trust, including the house we lived in, so she didn't get one bent penny out of me, and when 'our' daughter was DNA tested and found to be someone else's child, I had my name legally stripped from her birth certificate, and she was gone as well.
I also spent several anxious months waiting on the results of all the STI tests before I could be confident I was clean and she hadn't left me any permanent parting-gifts.
Now, 10 years later, I have a lovely, caring wife, and three wonderful kids, all in private school. I gave my wife an Audi TTS Coupe for her birthday this year, and we have a 6 bed Georgian house with a pool, near Windsor in Berkshire, with a holiday home in Poole, Dorset, because she had the grace and good sense to be patient, helpful, supportive, and understanding while I established myself and built my business, and we're happy.
My ex lives across town, she has three kids, all by different men, and works as a cleaner to supplement her benefits, but she could have had everything my wife has now if she'd just kept her legs together, supported me, and given fidelity a shot while I had to go away those few weeks over the course of a couple of years. Now she has nothing, but I won't make the mistake of pitying her; she did that to herself, and I feel justice was done, I have complete closure, and that part of my life feels like wasted time that's now been glossed over.by Anonymous09/01/15
Ignorance is rampant
Ignorance in these comments is priapic in scope!!!! Great story. Why wouldn't he take a loving wife back if it was a single episode in the past and she seemed genuinely remorseful and willing to debase herself as penance. Great FANTASY......your writing is very good. Keep it up.....or at least me up😀by Anonymous09/25/15
Husband came across as too much of a wimp. Wife cheats, videos it and then asks him to do some of the things she learnt with her boyfriend... No standard normal self respecting man puts up with that. Stories are just that.. Stories... But having set a prologue where you say you tried a middle route.. Think you ended up more one way than the other. He certainly may have forgiven her but not the same day his world imploded.by Anonymous10/19/15by sugna11/04/15
The Trouble
The trouble with the story is that it fails to recognize what marriage is all about. It is not purely about ego. It is not about someone getting hurt feelings because their wife cheated on them. It is about a lifelong partnership for the purposes of mutual survival and providing an environment in which to raise children. A spouse who cheats is neither a good partner nor a good parent. What they are is a security threat. They are dangerous. They are a potential disaster financially and emotionally. If you don't have children the smartest thing you can do is to get a divorce as soon as possible. If you do have children you may want to wait until your children or emotionally mature enough to deal with the divorce and the divorce will not affect their education where their future prospects. These stories always seem to be shortsighted and do not seem to deal with the realities of marriage.by tazz31711/04/15by Anonymous02/05/16by Anonymous02/26/16
Kind of unrealistic!
If he were going away for 5 months and it wasn't due serving in the armed forced, his company would have ensured that he either bring his wife or routinely fly back. I have several friends who have moved over seas for jobs and they could bring their wives or routinely fly back. This story is unrealistic.by Tim41341303/31/16
I agree with
the 5-month comment. He never should have stayed away that long, and she never should have let him get away with it. I am still not completely certain about Amanda's appearance. Did he assume Suzie would follow him? Was he prepared to go one-on-one with Amanda, and come up with another "anything" at a later date?by lance_spearman04/18/16

Exit poll: Ecuador leader wins easy re-election
QUITO, Ecuador Ecuadorean voters appeared set to elect President Rafael Correa to a third term Sunday, with an exit poll giving a wide margin of victory to the polemical economist who has raised living standards for the lower classes and widened their social safety net while being widely criticized as intolerant of dissent.
Correa had 61 percent of the vote compared to former Banco de Guayaquil executive president Guillermo Lasso with 20 percent, according to the exit poll by Cedatos-Gallup company. Six other candidates shared the remaining votes. The poll had a margin of 3.7 percentage points.
"Presidente! Presidente!" an excited Luzmila Cordova, 33, shouted as she craned to get a look at Correa as he voted in the capital Sunday.
"We get respect from this president and the poor feel like they, too, are human," said Cordova, a maid who traveled from her hometown, Otavalo, with her three small children to watch Correa vote.
The 48-year-old president has brought uncharacteristic political stability to this oil-exporting nation of 14.6 million people that cycled through seven presidents in the decade before he first took office in 2007.
He won re-election in April 2009 after voters approved a constitutional rewrite that mandated a new ballot, and he would be legally barred from running again following a victory Sunday. To avoid a runoff, Correa needed a simple majority or 40 percent of the vote plus a 10-point margin over the No. 2 vote-getter.
A champion of big government in the mold of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez but more respectful of private property, Correa has endeared himself to the lower classes by making education and health care more accessible, building or improving 7,820 kilometers (4,870 miles) of highways and, the government says, creating 95,400 jobs in the past four years.
Lasso, meanwhile, promised to be friendlier to foreign investment, lower taxes on job-creating companies and roll back elements of what Correa calls his "21st century socialism," such as a 5 percent tax on capital removed from Ecuador.
Among voters casting their ballot for Correa in Quito was a grateful Jomaira Espinosa, 18.
"Before (Correa), my family didn't have enough to eat and now it does. There are lots of positive changes in the economy and my father was able to find work," said Espinosa, who added that she expects to be able to study for free at a university thanks to Correa's programs.
Correa's critics, including leading international human rights groups, consider him an intolerant bully who arbitrarily wields his near-monopoly on state power against anyone who threatens what he sees as his "citizens' revolution."
German Calapucha, a 29-year-old accountant, said he voted for one of Correa's challengers, though he didn't say which, because he's tired of Correa's imperiousness.
"He thinks that because he wins elections he has the right to mistreat people," Calapucha said. "I want a country where people respect each other."
Correa has eroded the influence of opposition parties, the Roman Catholic Church and the news media and used criminal libel law to try to silence opposition journalists. Critics decry his stacking of the courts with friendly judges and the government's prosecution of indigenous leaders for organizing protests against Correa's opening up of Ecuador to large-scale mining without their consent.
"He is far too insolent and I want there to be freedom of expression," said Laura Realpe, a 59-year-old housewife married to a lawyer who said she voted for Lasso, who she said seems fairer and "more level-headed."
One blessing for Correa has been oil prices that have been hovering around $100 a barrel.

An amazing piece in hand. Hot toys has perfectly captured nicholsons likeness and I can safely say its one of their finest head sculpts to date(if not the best). Truly pays homage to nicholsons joker, and is highly recommended to all collectors and fans of the 1989 classic.
— Hadi
Once again another outstanding piece for any collection. Hot Toys nailed it between the details of the statue and the details of the box. Yes I said the box.. The box for this item is a collectors piece of its own. Well done hot Toys!!
— Billy
I hesitated until this came on sale. Always loved the purple Joker but this has a different vibe and the Jack Nicholson factor is off the charts on this. If you like Joker or Jack, you need to own this masterpiece. The face is a perfect 10, overall if the legs were more flexible it'd be a solid 10!

The detail in this piece is more incredible than I can even describe and must be seen in person to be believed!

Hey, I'm Philip!
I am a Mechanical Engineer working in Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Research and Development. I'm a native of Chicago and have my home there but I travel a lot for work and may be at any given work site for several months at a time. I often use AirBnB to find temporary housing while I'm working from a remote site or to find a nice home away from home while on vacation.
I'm always looking for new adventures out in the wide world and I find that staying in the heart of things makes that much easier. Personally, I think hotels are often insulating and clinical. Getting out in the neighborhood, sharing stories, and meeting real people who live their lives in a place makes travel much more enjoyable for me.
I'm easy going and very autonomous. Just give me a place to lay my head and point out the closest pub and I'll be just fine.

Travis Green, who as acting head coach guided the Portland Winterhawks to the 2012-13 Western Hockey League championship, has been hired as the head coach of the Utica (N.Y.) Comets of the American Hockey League.
The Comets are the top minor league affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, who own the team.
For the Winterhawks, Green served as assistant general manager and assistant head coach under Mike Johnston beginning in October of 2008. Green was the head coach most of last season, leading the Winterhawks to the league title while Johnston served a season-long WHL suspension.
"I'm incredibly proud of everything we achieved in the five years I was here, but I feel I'm ready to take the next step and become a head coach," Green said. "We built a championship team and a culture of winning here, and they're lessons I will take with me for the rest of my career."
Johnston said he anticipates hearing from a lot of people who are interested in replacing Green with the Winterhawks. Johnston said he would like to hire someone within three weeks.
Kyle Gustafson, the Vancouver resident who has been with the Winterhawks for nine seasons, will have an increased role next season, according to Johnston. The responsibilities of the coaches will be defined after the new assistant coach is hired, Johnston said.
Gustafson moved behind the bench last season to assist Green. In previous seasons he was in charge of video scouting and in on-ice skill development.
Steve Kariya, who took on the video scouting role on a short-term basis last season, is no longer on the Winterhawks staff but will be someone the Winterhawks talk with in their search, Johnston said.
Green took over as acting head coach in late November and led the team to 37 wins in the final 47 regular-season games. After winning the third WHL title in franchise history and first since 1998, the Winterhawks advanced to the championship game of the Memorial Cup, losing to the Halifax Mooseheads.
"Travis has done a terrific job with the Winterhawks as a coach and also on the management side," Johnston said. "He's played an integral part in our success, and like our players it's great to see him move on and get a professional opportunity. We wish him all the best in Utica."
• Winterhawks forward Brendan Leipsic has been added to the roster for Canada's National Junior Team summer development camp, which takes place Aug. 4-10. Portland's Nic Petan and Derrick Pouliot had previously been selected.

Maryland Board of Public Works approves nearly $80M in spending cuts
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Maryland Board of Public Works has voted to close to $80 million from the state's Fiscal Year 2015 budget as a way to address less-than-expected revenues.
The board – which includes Gov. Martin O'Malley, Comptroller Peter Franchot and Treasurer Nancy Kopp – voted unanimously on Wednesday to support the cuts.
The cuts come just two days into the new fiscal year and were done in part to help the state address any potential fiscal concerns early, according to T. Eloise Foster, the state's budget chief.
"While it's true that nobody wants to be in a position of cutting department budgets in a fiscal year that is less than 48 hours old, I believe that Secretary Foster is being pragmatic in getting out in front of the situation, rather than simply hoping that things will get better and, then, being forced to take even more difficult actions if and when they don't," said Franchot in a statement.
STAY INFORMED - Click here and sign up for our newsletters.
Franchot said in the first quarter of 2014, the United States experienced a 2.9 percent contraction in economic activity, which was the worst quarterly performance since the first quarter of 2009, considered the height of the recession.
The comptroller added that despite what some politicians may say, Maryland is not completely immune to economic issues that could impact the country. He cited that wages in Maryland grew by only 0.4 of a percentage point during the first quarter of 2014. This, at a time when gas prices are soaring to their highest levels in six years, and food prices are surging due to a variety of factors.
"To those who would benefit from a rosier outlook on the national and state economy, stop pretending that we've made it through the thicket, because we just haven't," said Franchot in a statement.
"And to those who would benefit from saying that the sky is falling in Maryland, and blaming it all on the other party, cut it out. What we're dealing with is a statewide reflection of a national problem."

If you are looking for outdoor recreation in the Rio Grande Valley, you might consider a relaxing canoe trip down a stretch of the Arroyo Colorado.
Launching their canoes east of La Feira, this group is enjoying a leisurely paddle down the Arroyo towards Harlingen under the guidance of Friends of the Wildlife Corridor.
Bob Powell, Friends of the Wildlife Corridor Board Member, says, "It is relatively untouched. It still offers a nice recreational opportunity for people."
For Ayissa Sandoval of Donna and her friends, it was the first time they had ever canoed the Arroyo Colorado.
Ayissa Sandoval, says, "It was a nice experience to flow down the river and just see what types of things are here in the Valley that most people don't know."
Priscilla Paz, says, "It was peaceful, and it was just a great experience overall."
The Arroyo Colorado begins as an outflow of the Rio Grande near Mission and winds its way thru the Valley past Harlingen and eventually into the Lower Laguna Madre.
Powell says, "This particular stretch has a lot of good habitat which in many ways is good for wildlife, but it is also probably good for the people that live down here in that it keeps the banks of this little piece of river from eroding which keeps it from silting in very much, and it also acts as a little filtration device to get some of those pollutants which are coming in thru the water out of the river before it goes down into the Gulf area."
The International Boundary and Water Commission is proposing to clear portions of the Arroyo near Harlingen for flood control, and on Wednesday, March 23 from 4 to 6pm there will be a public meeting at IBWC offices in Mercedes to discuss this issue.

Can Johns make it 3 wins in a row
for Wire?
Hull ace Paul Cooke?s ambitions for club and country go on the line on Saturday when the Challenge Cup winners take on form team Warrington in the opening round of the engage Super League play-offs.
Defeat at the Halliwell Jones Stadium will signal the end of Hull?s bid to complete the double while Cooke knows it could be his last chance to play his way into the Great Britain squad for the Gillette Tri-Nations Series.
The 23-year-old stand-off or loose forward was excluded from Brian Noble?s initial 40-strong training squad back in May but his outstanding form since then was recognised this week when he was named in the Super League Dream Team.
Cooke, who scored the match-winning try in Hull?s dramatic triumph at the Millennium Stadium last month, is currently in line to play for England in the autumn internationals against France and New Zealand but has a burning desire to earn full international honours.
?I am proud of the fact that I got in the Dream Team,? he said. ?Nice things happen when you are playing well and I will take it as a positive and try to kick on for the play-offs.
?The next job is to get past Warrington and get a decent play-off run. We will see about the Great Britain squad then.
?It is up to Brian Noble, all I can do is play well for Hull. If international honours come this year, then so be it. If not, I will just have to knuckle down and work that bit harder for next year.?
Cooke acknowledges that Hull face a difficult task in attempting to reverse last week?s 30-16 home defeat by an Andrew Johns-inspired Wolves but he believes his side can draw inspiration from their successful Challenge Cup run in which they beat Super League clubs in all five rounds.
John Kear?s men have lost two of their three league games since Cardiff but Cooke plays down suggestions of a cup final hangover.
?I think that?s mentally an excuse from everybody,? he said. ?I tend to think that players get paid to do a job. It?s been a month since the cup final and we have got to put it to the back of our minds now.
?It?s going to be like a mini Challenge Cup run. We had to face some quality opposition in the Challenge Cup and we had to beat them to win that, so we can take heart knowing we can get a result from the big games, even if have to go away from home.
?If London spring a surprise against Bradford and we beat Warrington, then we are at home in the next round.?
Warrington are close to putting the ?house full? signs up once more for Johns? third appearance in the British game but Cooke believes his side would be foolish to focus all their energies on stopping the gifted Australian.
?They have got quality right across the park, with players like Brent Grose, Martin Gleeson, Lee Briers and Nat Wood,? he said.
?Andrew Johns is just one top-quality player in a top-quality side. We are going to have to close him down and close every one of them down if we want to win this game.
?The players are looking forward to it. We are confident in our own ability and confident as a group of people that we can get a result and kick on from there.?
Warrington v Hull, The Halliwell Jones Stadium, Saturday Sept 24
Warrington 18-man: Grose, Fa'afili, Martin Gleeson, Kohe-Love, Briers, N. Wood, Leikvoll, Clarke, Hilton, Swann, Wainwright, Noone, Mark Gleeson, Westwood, P. Wood, Lima, Bridge, Johns.
Hull 18-man: Barnett, Blacklock, Brough, Carvell, Chester, Cooke, Dowes, R. Horne, Kearney, King, McMenemy, Raynor, Saxton, Swain, Whiting, Tony, Thackray, Yeaman.

When the world is filled with thunder and the winds are storming above,
Deep within the night we wonder if we've lost the magic of love.
But there's something inside us that looks to the sun.
We dream that this light will guide us with love for everyone.
When the birds of war are flying and the clouds are heavy with rain,
Seems as though the skies are crying, and we feel the cold tears of pain.
But there's something inside us that looks to the sun.
We dream that this light will guide us with love for everyone.
Love is there for us, everywhere for us
In the sound of praying, little children playing
Open your heart.
Love to each of us, here in each of us
Constant as the moon glows, or the way the grass grows
Always and forever.
Love is the river that fills every sea,
And it's waters that mirror the way life should be.
When the world is free of thunder, and the skies are peaceful above,
Once again we'll know the wonder of the magic power of love,
Oh, the magic of love.

Better than expected
This review is from: Rosewill RTCA-C4127X High Yield Universal Replacement Black Toner Cartridge for HP 27X C4127X 27A C4127A, and Brother TN100HL
Pros: First time I ever bought any replacement toner other than HP. Very pleasantly surprised. Had about month or so; prints much darker than HP on same density setting, which was needed. Been using HP toners for 15 years on 4050, and black solids and large fonts always milky. Much better with this toner. Who knew. Paid less than 20% of what new HP toner would cost.
Cons: None so far. Long way to go on 10,000 page toner.

I have imported my XY data (in the same excel worksheet) to matlab with all the X and Y coordinates in separate columns ('FHC'), X is in column b and Y in c. I want to plot these using using k-means.
I got stuck cause I don't like to plot all the coordinates, I like to include the first 10, skip 2 cells and then include the next 10 ect.I tried to specify cells like this (b2:b12,1);(c2:c12,2), it exceeds matrix dimensions?
How can I tell matlab from what cell to what other cell that I want it to include, possibly tell it to skip some cells in between? My code looks like this at the moment (but now it plots all the X's and all the Y's);
X =['FHC',(:,1);(:,2)] %written differently

Rainbow Mika is electrifying by goatchumbyWatch
©2010-2016 goatchumby
I was looking through some Street Fighter sprites and I thought it would be fun to do an electrocution animation. Zangief however, was horrified with my character choice.
About time we see her in pain
I think El Fuerte would also be horrified!
She's the most electrifying woman in all of entertainment!
B. Mika lol
Looks like Blanka's been teaching Mika a new trick.
Where's Blanka?
wth xD funny
Looking at this, I think you should do more of these. Be interesting to see one of these for Jessica there you did already lol~ Just a thought!
now i ask you where is blanka ? that bastard
Cool work
LOL Q and Jedah. They had some unique shocks back then I have to say~ Especially for Darkstalkers, and ESPECIALLY for people like Q...
This kinda makes me want to pick up my Shock project I've been doing for MUGEN for the past 2-3 years again....just because of how well it was done~
This kinda makes me want to pick up my Shock project I've been doing for MUGEN for the past 2-3 years again....just because of how well it was done~
Well! I must say that I'm impressed by the quality of this! Really well done! You ever think of doing this with anyone else? Would be cool to see~ Actually a few that I'd like to see from ya done like this lol
This is funny and really impressive!
Shocking lol. Free X-rays!
She's training to fight Blanka.
He was obviously about to take her home when God struck her down.
Cool but if she is being electrified shouldn't she be fighting Blanka? It doesn't really matter as this is really good work in any case.
It is a little illogical. But then again I usually get a crazy notion for an illustration and follow it through only to have logic left wayyy behind.
Funny and superb job
your mika is beautiful
your mika is beautiful
Awesome Work

I just replaced the water pump in my van. Checked the hoses, thermostat etc. They are fine. I keep getting a hissing from the rear heater, and the carpet gets wet and steam escapes from the rear heater. I'm putting 2 gallons of water/coolant in it every day. What could be the problem? Is it an expensive fix? Thanks.

In response to: Data Center 7.0 & StorageI am surprised that nobody questioned the business model I referenced; questioning its validity? I believe it is NOT valid, as business is constantly adapting to the new trends and directions (successful enterprises are not rigid). I believe, in order for the new flexible business model to be followed the IT organization must be more flexible. Another component is that IT leaders need to push further into businesses to allow enterprises the ability for them continue to grow through increased productivity and automation. We also need longer term goals instead of quarter to quarter we need to take the time to plan out strategy and roll it out and being integrated tighter into an enterprise is just one way to achieve this.

LTFS – Linear Tape File System
Keith Thuerk 110000F2GW firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  tape ltfs drag ilm drop hsm 2 Comments 2,450 Visits
Enterprise Data protection is not a new topic (it's actually a core IT principal = protecting data) and we continue to see a growing investment in data protection methodologies in enterprises across the globe. While some of our competition want you to believe that all data needs can be satisfied by placing all data on spinning disk; doesn't seem very economical to me. Tape is the greenest IT offering to date across the market. We are not going to discuss tape offerings, let us discuss what IBM helped write and released early in 2010. The product offering is called LTFS which stands for Linear Tape File System. This new offering allows admins drag and drop capabilities for files making the tape F/S system appear to be a removable media format (Flash Drive, DVD etc,) to the Operating System. So drag and drop to / from tape seems like an inexpensive solution for Video Surveillance files.
How does LTFS work?
LTFS is a physical media portioning technology and LTFS creates 2 partitions on LTO5 tapes while the schema is stored in XML format.
What Operating Systems are supported?
RHEL 5.4, 5.5, MAC OS X 10.5, Windows 7, and others are getting their stamp of approval.
What Backup Software is supported?
No dedicated backup program such as TSM, NetBackup etc are required as the OS can write directly to the tape itself.
What Hardware is supported?
LTFS V1 supports LTO5 tape drives while the Tape Libraries are gaining their stamp of approval look for that in future releases.LTFS Defaults: Block size is 1MB
Best of all LTFS is FREE, yes that is not a typo it's free.
Learn more about the IBM LTFS offering http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/tape/ltfs/

Third Generation Converged Network Adapter (3GCNA)
Keith Thuerk 110000F2GW firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  cna iscsi convergence fcoe muilti-protocol qlogic 3gcna ethernet 1 Comment 1,528 Visits
As the IT industry continues to push commoditization across the enterprise, its next target appears to be the Ethernet switching realm. How so you ask? Network Convergence and the newest CNA offering from QLogic is the 3GCNA a valiant effort into full commoditization of Ethernet switches.
3GCNA's provide support for multi-protocol
(iSCSI, FCoE) and QLogic's newest 3GCNA allows VM's to switch protocols on the
fly. Can you leverage this in your enterprise? You bet you can,
direct benefit day one by adding this into your Tiering strategy (tier by disk
and protocol) to lower your operational expenses. QLogic then takes the
offering up one level further by allowing direct VM to VM communication. I
envision this having direct impact in your environment from an admin
standpoint can you envision a larger impact?
The dual trends of network convergence and server consolidation are driving major changes aimed directly at server I/O. This drives home one of my favorite points for 2010 flexibility within your IT infrastructure and the 3GCNA brings this flexibility in a big way.
Looking forward to the competition leap frogging this CNA offering and how it can benefit enterprises.

Secure Disk Wiping
Keith Thuerk 110000F2GW firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  audit erasure disk wiping secure dlp 1 Comment 1,426 Visits
Secure Disk Wiping
a.k.a. Disk Erasure has been around for a good while in terms of IT life cycles.
Wondering how pervasive you utilize it in your Enterprise environment?
It is well understood that most IT breaches occur after data has left the premises (DLP)
Some well known options available:
shred -vfz -n 100/deve/hda
dd=if/deve/zero then run a pass w/ ones etc...
dd /dev/random (perhaps several times)
Or Does your enterprise perform a combination of them?
Wondering does a combination of a few inexpensive solutions provide the same type of protection (or nearly the same) as a more expensive complete offering?
Does your enterprise wipe each desktop / laptop disk before it leaves the building for good?
Does your enterprise wipe each server disk (after failure or after its aged out)?
Does your enterprise wipe each disk subsystem disk?
Does your enterprise take it a step further and retain the disks and fully destroy them say running them through Disk Shredders?
Are these types of events plugged into your change management systems?
Are these types of events plugged into your DLP Policies do they trigger audit events?
How much FTE or PTE time is allocated to attend to use duties?
Wondering how Secure Disk erasure impacts the IT budget and IT Audit cycles?
Would enjoy seeing how you might be performing Secure Disk Wiping, please provide some insight w/ out giving away to much info.
What does it take for a successful VDI implementation?
Keith Thuerk 110000F2GW email@example.com Tags:  i/o security disks flexible storage lan fcoe man vdi 1 Comment 1,898 Visits
What does it take for a successful VDI implementation?
Let's think about a few integral steps in getting your VDI project from the whiteboard into production (we don't have enough space to cover all aspects such as project management, change management, Thin Client selection, etc.)
VDI aka Virtual Desktop Infrastructure relies on your disk subsystem being a stable foundation
in which you can build and grow your VDI environment.
Yet it needs to be flexible enough that it can meet the demands of this environment moving forward too.
Properly sized: How did you size your subsystem prior to rollout?
How many I/O's did you allocate for each thin client?
How many more I/O's did you allocate for each application?
How will you handle the 'exception application' which is not supported by VDI today?
Do not overlook some applications which require higher uptime than others.
What type of disk drive did you select to achieve this performance metric?
How large are the disk pools you are going to utilize to keep your performance consistent (Proof of Concept, Pilot, Initial rollout, full rollout)?
Did your sizing meet your performance expectorations in your lab?
Protocol selection: What protocol did you select for the backend connectivity (Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI, NFS)?
What protocol does it use to the desktop (I.E. PCoIP or RDP)?
How agile is the protocol you selected? Was it designed for WAN use?
What are the cost implications if other network gear must be ordered?
Are you working w/ the Network team to ensure all aspects of the project are getting the proper attention?
For instance, How did VDI impact your LAN traffic (if applicable)?
How did VDI impact your WAN traffic (if applicable)?
Management: How are you going to keep control over your VDI environment (Roles/Responsibilities)?
Can you quickly integrate management into a directory structure and push out policies to manage all these new devices?
How flexible is your storage offering in assisting with desktop provisioning / creation?
How many golden images will you create & maintain (these might be worlds apart by the time you complete your pilot)?
How will you maintain these images? How much time has been allocated to maintain these images?
Security: Sure, you have locked down the selected OS but what about security at the physical layer have you disabled the USB ports too?
How are your existing security practices today going to be impacted? Will your VDI selection work across a VPN tunnel?
These questions might help get you on your way to VDI success!
Flexible Infrastructure
Keith Thuerk 110000F2GW firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  center fcoe data 1 Comment 1,652 Visits
A flexible infrastructure is paramount in the new data center which enables an enterprise to quickly adapt to the changing course of the enterprise and technology while working within the realm of shrinking IT budgets.
From a networking perspective an enabler of flexibility is based around the recent 40 & 100GB (802.3ba) Ethernet ratification. This advancement is very important for the new data center not just from a speeds and feeds perspective but from the technology that will follow such as TRILL (RFC 5556) will change the game not just on the network edge (Metro Ethernet) but in emulating Ethernet services in all kinds of new connectivity offerings. From a storage perspective how does an enterprise properly move into the Petabyte age? Your business needs should dictate your storage needs not the other way around.
Or put another way how to tame the data explosion issue?
How is your enterprise preparing for this?
Data Center 7.0 & Storage
Keith Thuerk 110000F2GW email@example.com Tags:  security enterprise convergence fcoe center data policies 1 Comment 1,691 Visits
How has your enterprise been exploiting the
'recession' to push forward with new technology upgrades? Isn't that what
we were taught to do in Econ. 201 & 202 (recall the businesses that
invested the most during times of economic downturn were the one's taking the
greatest strides as the recovery came around and hence the most market share.
Think about your current data center was it built prior to 1997? If
so, your enterprise is not alone as a majority of them were built prior to then
(kind of scary knowing all the great technology created during the DOT.COM
Boom) and all that which has followed. Well, needless to say your
enterprise is NOT exploiting the most current technology initiatives that will
allow your business to continue to grow and gain market share. When did
you deploy IP phones were you early or late to deploying this technology set?
Are you ready to deploy a converged storage network? If not, why?
Is it due to lack of skills? Is it due to budget? Here are just
some of the benefits (simplified administration (are you willing to hand over
your storage network to the network team? If NO what are you doing to prevent
this coming skill absorption?)) rapid storage provisioning and roll outs,
increased cost savings). Are you skeptical that this will happen?
Think back to the early '90's and how many network protocols did the enterprise
have (DECnet, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk, Apollo domain, Named Pipes, XNS, etc) to
contend with and once IP was deemed the enterprise standard... in the end IP
won BIG. Still not convinced? Consider how many technologies
Ethernet has displaced (ATM, Token Ring, FDDI) with IP & Ethernet pushing
into the storage arena isn't it time to put considerable thought into terms it
will impact Storage Network moving forward? Also consider how will this
impact your data center moving forward?
Until next time keep thinking about how Data Center 7.0 can help your enterprise move forward to quicker growth when this recession comes to an end.

Smaller workloads (packets) are better suited to be serviced by SSD. What is small workload you ask? Anywhere between 4K - 64K is the sweet spot, although that is NOT to say that you can't service 128K and 256K workloads please don't expect a huge increase in performance with those workloads.
Throw in a very random workload which is another good service characteristic for SSD.
Then add in a read workload and you have a great need for SSDs.
Please recall SSD's do very little to the write performance of an SSD offering.
Well-suited for environments that need:
– High IO/sec
– Small capacity IBM through extensive research has concluded that the proper mix of SSD to disk ratio in a Disk Subsystem is between 5-13% of total capacity.
You should fully evaluate your workload before just throwing SSD at a problem in hopes that SSD can solve it.
In summary, random read requests in small packet sizes are a perfect fir for your SSD workloads
What is Big Data

At this point in 2011 we have all heard the term Big Data, but what is Big Data really?
There are still a lot of fragmented ideas for Big Data, best I can tell here is a nice definition.
Big Data can be defined simply as multi-terabyte datasets, typically ten or more. But Big Data also involves big complexity, namely many diverse data sources (both internal and external), data types (structured, unstructured, semi-structured), and indexing schemes (relational, distributed file systems, no-SQL). Plus, Big Data requires big processing to achieve useful analytic results.
Summary: Data + Analytics
What are the characteristics of Big Data?
· Very large data sets
· Distributed Aggregation
· Loosely Structured
· Often incomplete
Solve data issues with collaboration of Algorithms to process all the data not just subsets of data.
What are the Big Data components?
· Data at Rest
· Fast Data
Some food for thought in your enterprise:
Does Big Data mean more irrelevant data or does it require better BI tools?
Will Big Data arrive in waves?
If so, how will you accommodate the sudden spikes in requirements?
Are you feeling out of touch with the coming onslaught of Big Data even if you work in IT? No need to worry, this is just the next phase in IT expanding the IT role in an enterprise. You might explore adding some skills or adding deeper skills in / around analytics.
All the solution components are not yet in place to monetize Big Data results, will you be the next startup to exploit these results and help change IT?
In my mind Big Data will change industries and the world! Watch World here comes the next IT Wave!
IT Automation and Clouds
Keith Thuerk 110000F2GW firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  computing provisioning it cloud automation 1,183 Visits
Everyone knows that Cloud building (regardless of type Private, Public, Hybrid) has many facets to be successful. Let's jump into one of the tools / utils of Clouds today, IT Automation.
You know that automation requires a full understanding of IT assets (new and old).
So, are enterprises large and small doing a good job of managing IT assets today? Most would admit they are not doing a good job of managing assets (on-site or off).
The asset management concept sounds easy enough, but think about how assets have changed in just the last 2 years (tablets, Mobile doc readers, etc…) these devices have to be counted too as they contribute to the creation and use of corporate assets.
With the proliferation of assets of all types and the ever expanding network boundaries the device count keep ticking up.
Where to start?
Service catalog seems to be the most pressing issue deployment today.
What products do you use?
Have you found any good open source tools for asset management?
IT Automation was once banished due to restricted budgets, now it's a necessity as it's a fundamental IT building block (agility).
What is the state of IT automation today?
How can IT Automation help your environment? When front ended by a service catalog your end users can hit the service portal and request a new system or service. Your provisioning tools then get work setting up the requested environment.
How far can you take IT Automation in your environment; the possibilities are limited only by time, technology and of course money.
Are you tying asset management into your BI infrastructure if no, why?
Are you tying asset management into your Sales Force automation if no, why?
Are you tying asset management into your consolidated I/O environments?
You should be spending time to see how IT automation can reduce your IT spend.

text: Marazion is a long, sandy beach opposite St Michael`s Mount beyond Penzance. It was there, one freezing, windy, rainy Sunday that friends and I took cover at an imposing pub overlooking the sea. As the rain lashed down outside and the sky blackened over the Mount, we chose our food from one of those impossibly ambitious pub menus. We were mindful to choose local produce. Grilled sardines (actually pilchards) were very good but Newlyn crab salad was spoilt for me by an overdose of frilly lollo rosso and chunks of raw green and red pepper. The best choice by far

Oklahoma State football: Devin Hedgepeth's injury hurts secondary depth
STILLWATER — Justin Gilbert just hoped it wasn't the Achilles tendon again.
But when Oklahoma State teammate Devin Hedgepeth grabbed his left ankle after collapsing to the turf while defending a pass play last Saturday, those fears were all but confirmed. Hedgepeth, a junior cornerback, had torn his Achilles tendon for the third time in less than a year, ending his season and possibly his football career.
"That's one of the worst feelings in the world," Gilbert said. "You got to pray for him and hope for the best for him."
Starting quarterback Wes Lunt's knee injury, sustained during the Cowboys' victory over Louisiana-Lafayette, understandably overshadowed Hedgepeth's injury. But that is also a significant blow, as the Cowboys have lost two cornerbacks — Hedgepeth and Jonovan Griffin (knee) — to season-ending injuries within the last two weeks, meaning the depth at that position is suddenly thinning just as OSU is about to start facing the pass-happy offenses that define the Big 12 Conference.
"We know we're down a couple guys," cornerbacks coach Jason Jones said. "We have some guys that understand what's going on that we'll be able to put in there. Yeah, you always like to have a guy with more experience, but it doesn't always work out like that."
The Cowboys still feature arguably the best starting cornerback duo in the Big 12 in Gilbert and Brodrick Brown. But without Hedgepeth, OSU will now have to rely even more on true freshmen Kevin Peterson and Ashton Lampkin and redshirt freshman Miketavious Jones.
Peterson and Lampkin — two young stars of fall camp — have continued to impress, though. Peterson has played corner in all three games for the Cowboys, tallying three tackles and a pass break-up, while Lampkin has added four tackles and an interception.
"They're coming along a lot faster than I did," Gilbert said. "I was amazed in the summertime when we brought them in at how fast they were catching on and catching picks left and right."
Added Jason Jones: "Both of them are smart young men. And the biggest thing about them, if they don't understand something, they'll come ask me. Sometimes they'll get out of class, they'll have their lunch and they'll walk past my office and go down to the film room and watch film on their own. I think that helps them out a lot."
Additional veteran help is on the way, as well. Senior Andrae May, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament during the spring, returned to practice last week and is expected to be ready to play against Texas on Sept. 29. Last season, May had 19 tackles and a fumble recovery.
"He's played in some Big 12 games, so he understands what this is going to be like," Jason Jones said. "He is a guy that is working his tail off to get back. He's a senior, so I'm expecting him to provide that leadership and that experience that we need to go ahead and finish the season strong."
Another potential option to shore up depth could be moving Larry Stephens, who switched to safety during fall camp, back to cornerback. But Jason Jones said the coaches like Stephens much better at his new position, and that he believes Peterson, Lampkin, Miketavious Jones and May give the Cowboys enough quality backup corners.
The bye week before the Longhorns visit Stillwater should help this position group, by giving May another week to return to full health and the young corners more time to keep developing.
And despite the recent serious injuries, Gilbert still believes the Cowboys have a stable group at cornerback.
"I don't really feel any pressure at all," Gilbert said. "Because we know we got kids behind (me and Brown) that can make plays, as well."

New 2013 Boreal Kangri Bi-Flex Boots�349.95, added Mar/2013, see all Boreal news & reviews
announcement by Boreal
The Kangri boasts class leading warmth thanks to a unique full Triple Thinsulate lining.
Unlike other boots the Kangri has insulation which surrounds the whole foot, both above and below the footbed to eliminate cold spots.
Comfortable: As well as being superbly warm the 2013 Kangri also features the new Bi-Flex ankle design. Bi-Flex strategically positions flexible and stiff materials in the upper to allow for much more natural articulation of the ankle whilst maintaining excellent support. A new and improved last shape developed in conjunction with leading alpinists has allowed us to refine the fit to better suit the average foot morphology.
Durable: Boreal has been manufacturing leather mountain boots to the highest standards since 1976. Despite huge advances in synthetic textile technology nothing beats a quality leather boot for ultimate reliability. The Kangri continues this tradition as has an upper built from the very best quality European 2.8mm leather.
Technical: The Kangri Bi-Flex is fully compatible with technical C3 rated crampons. Dual density TPU crampon attachment lugs ensure a secure fit whilst allowing enough shock absorbency to take the 'sting' out of hard front pointing. A new advanced carbon fibre composite mid-sole keeps the weight down and the Bi-Flex ankle design allows for excellent freedom of movement when climbing.
The Kangri Bi-Flex is available from March 2013 in selected stores only.
Sizes 4.5 to 11.5 UK RRP £349.95
Sizes 12 to 13.5 UK RRP £359.95
