warm welcome to the very first (and so far only) website devoted to zoomusicology.
These pages join the forces of some zoomusicologists and zoomusicology-related
resaerchers, and aim to be a point of reference for all those people (both
so-called experts and so-called non-experts) interested in the relation
music-animals, or - as you'll learn in the introduciotn below - in "the
aesthetic use of sound communication among animals". The basis of such work
is totally interdisciplinary, so you will find contributions from several fields
of science.
You are welcome to surf these pages, download everything you think could be useful to your resaerch or personal interests, leave your very appreciated feedback, and - if you like - contribute actively to the website.
Please, check this site every now and then: you will find new material, and hopefully new people.
your surfing!
Dario Martinelli, PhD
is always a bit annoying for me to write about zoomusicology (or zoömusicology)
on a computer and to see that the Microsoft Word spellchecker underlines in red
every single key-word of such a study, e.g., zoomusicology, zoosemiotics,
biocentrism, ethology, and so on. It is annoying for two reasons: on one hand,
it reveals that these terms are still little known by most people, at least by
Microsoft's team, thus there is a big need of more knowledge. On the other hand,
it seems that even very popular terms, such as ethology, which was coined in
1762 by the Academie Française des Sciences, are not yet acknowledged as "autonomous"
concepts, not depending, for instance, from zoology or biology. Be that as it
may, it is true that zoömusicology is a fairly new concept. Not only is its
meaning as yet vaguely defined, but so are its interests and its goals. In
journalistic jargon, none of the five "W" questions about zoömusicology
have been answered.
idea of zoömusicology, in the modern sense of the term, originated with
François Bernard Mâche, in his Music,
Myth, Nature. He announces that zoömusicology is "not yet born", thus
establishing in actual fact its birth. Briefly put, the aim of Mâche's essay
is to "begin to speak of animal musics other than with the quotation marks"
(Mâche 1992: 114). His book first came out in 1983, thus one can understand how
little has been said until now about the subject, and how much remains to be
said. Next comes a brief introduction to the issues related to zoömusicological
Before any kind of analytical attempt, it seems wise to introduce the issue in a very general – simplistic, every now and then – way. It should be soon clear that research of this kind is a) of extremely wide concern (possibly, among the widest, considering the millions of animal species existing on earth); and b) with very few scientific precedents.
Firstly, there is the problem of defining the discipline. If I was asked to define zoömusicology in few words, in order to include this term in a dictionary, I would probably say that this discipline studies the "aesthetic use of sound communication among animals". This definition would have the following consequences:
3. By simply saying "animals", and not "non-human" ones, I leave open the possibility of including Homo sapiens in zoömusicological research. That is because a) as I already stated in the introduction, we should not forget that humans are animals, thus it is important to make clear that zoömusicology is not "opposed" to anthropomusicology, but actually includes it; and b) if the analysis of human behaviour can also fall into the ethological domain, then human music can fall into the domain of zoömusicology. I am not envisioning a zoömusicological version of Desmond Morris's controversial The Naked Ape, but still I feel that a change of perspective can be scientifically healthy.
4. By saying "sound communication", I am explicitly declaring a semiotic approach to music. I consider music as both a semantic and syntactic system.
In my opinion, such a statement implies at least four reflections:
1. Zoömusicology approaches non-human animals from the direction of human sciences, and music from the direction of biological sciences. As I have already pointed out, certain changes of perspective can be quite helpful for a more complete overview of the phenomena analysed.
2. The basic innovation provided by zoömusicology is the assertion that music is not an exclusively human phenomenon, but rather an emotion and instinct-based one. "If we had at our disposal sufficient studies of the neuro-physiological links between biological rhythms and musical rhythms, I would probably have been able to draw up arguments which reinforce the conception I am defending, that of music as a cultural construct based on instinctive foundations […]. But if the animal world reveals to us precisely this emergence of music from the innate, this should enable us to compare it with what happens in man" (Mâche 1992: 95). Hence, to adopt the zoömusicological paradigm means to put seriously into discussion the present definitions of music, starting from its strongly anthropocentric connotation.
3. At the same time, the whole conception of the nature-culture dichotomy is to be revised. Mostly, one should wonder – as Peirce already did in speaking of synechism – if we really have to consider it as a dichotomy.
4. Finally, on a more ethical level, zoömusicology, together with zoösemiotics, cognitive ethology and other studies, testifies to the encouraging progress of human knowledge in studying other animals. Hopefully, the disturbing ghosts of hardcore mechanism, behaviourism and evolutionism, will soon disappear, allowing humans to perceive and interpret other living beings in a more proper and realistic way.

'So You Think You Can Dance' host Cat Deeley talks about the new season (Part 2)
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 05/15/2013
So You Think You Can Dance

The reality dancing competition's tenth season continues to feature Cat Deeley as host and Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy as regular judges on the panel. Guest judges for the series will include actress Minnie Driver, actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, comedian Wayne Brady, All-Star dancer Stephen "tWitch" Boss, and Adam Shankman.
Like last year's edition,
So You Think You Can Dance
's tenth season will once again combine the contestants' performances and eliminations into one two-hour episode each week.

During a recent conference call with reporters, Cat Deeley talked about the upcoming season of the show and what viewers can expect to see. Below is the concluding portion of Cat's interview.
Click here
to read the first half.
What is the most challenging part of being involved with
So You Think You Can Dance
Cat Deeley:
You know what it is? It's about making -- when we're live and in the studio, it's about making decisions live onstage as to what to do next. Because so often, you know things can get funny. Things can get out of hand on the judges table. Things can be emotional. People can cry. It's all these different things that are brilliant for the people at home to see and to watch and to make the show.
You know, the idea behind this show is to surprise, delight, and entertain. That's what we want to do. As a host, it's about knowing the timing. It's about knowing where to take the show, when to move on, when to change the subject, when to hold onto a subject, when to push the clock over.
You have to kind of make those decisions on the spot, you know, immediately. That, for me, it's about making those calls and you've got to be in the moment. But at the same time, you've got to remove yourself slightly from it.
Just for an example, say for instance there was a routine and everybody was crying and it was incredibly emotional, undoubtedly, I will feel emotional too, but I can't fall apart and I can't allow the moment to just go on and on and on.
I've got to be able to rein it in and for it not to feel self-indulgent and for us to be able to move on to the next thing. That for me, it's about being in the moment but also being out of the moment too and being able to look at the show in its entirety. I don't know if I've explained that properly, but I hope I have.
On a personal level, do you think there's something that you could do in your life that you could challenge someone and say, "So you think you can...?"
Cat Deeley:
You know what? I always think, "So you think you can scare yourself?" I love it when you do something different, when you take a new challenge, when you do something as an adult that scares you a little bit and takes you back to being seven-and-three-quarters again.
To me, that's the best thing you can possibly do and it makes you challenge yourself. It takes you out of your comfort zone, and quite often, you discover new things that you love or new things that you're good at or you're passionate about.
It's kind of a funny sort of dance phenomenon last year, so I was just wondering how much of Gangnam style will we be seeing in the auditions?
Cat Deeley:
I actually don't think we saw any Gangnam style, you know. I think it's very much its own entity. I don't think anybody would rival the main man himself. Do you know what I mean? I don't think there was any Gangnam style. Maybe Nigel will break into it at some stage or another. Probably, knowing him.
Sort of another hallmark of the auditions is those really touching performances. So is there something you can tease about an audition that made you cry or really touched you or made all the judges cry?
Cat Deeley:
There were definitely moments that did. There were. It always tends to be if somebody's got a story. There's a really cute moment between a girl and her father, and the father brought the girl up on his own. He was like a total dance dad and followed her around and then took her to dance lessons and ended up falling in love with her dance instructor and marrying. Now they're all like one big, giant family, and he takes her everywhere.
In amongst this gaggle of kind of dance moms, stage moms, there was always the dad. He'd sit there and go with his daughter and it was just a lovely. I don't know, they kind of really stuck together, you know, through thick and thin, and then the outcome of it all was so lovely. The whole fact that he got together with her dance teacher was incredible.
How do you still continue to be passionate on and off-stage about
So You Think You Can Dance
when you've been hosting it for 10 seasons. I'd think it would be like going to the same concert over and over again. Do you still have the ability to be wowed by what you see? How do you keep yourself fresh?
Cat Deeley:
That's a really good question. It's essentially two parts; firstly, the adrenaline kicks in. The adrenaline kicks in, somebody performs, and it just -- it's your body kind of pumping this chemical. You know, it's almost like you're putting your body into fight or flight mode where you could really screw up.
And so, what your body does is it's actually a chemical reaction where it pumps adrenaline to help you cope with the heightened situation you're about to put yourself in. There's a chemical reaction that happens by your body, and if you embrace that, you kind of get there anyway.
Actually, it's really funny. I actually did an interview with U2 and I asked them the very same question. You go touring all the time and you do all these things, and I mean bare in mind they're playing stadiums so their adrenaline goes through the roof, but even still, it must sometimes get -- and Bono actually said a really smart thing and he goes, "You know what you do?" He says, "You fake it until you make it a little bit."
I go, "What do you mean?" And he said, "Get it going, your adrenaline pumps, you go with it, go with it, go with it. Then you start it and you just get yourself into the gear of it, get yourself in to the, you know." For him, it's like, "Hello, Wimbly," or "Hello, London." Do you know what I mean?
You get yourself there, and then your body takes you to the next place, because actually you're doing something that you absolutely love that you get so much enjoyment out of. Your body's helping you out at the same time you get there. It's the funniest thing. It happens.
It's like "fake it until you make it." You fake it just to start it off, and then your body shifts and you genuinely go into performance mode and you're like, "I am having a blast. Nobody on this planet loves what they do more than I do." Do you know what I mean?
Could you give us another natural beauty tip?
Cat Deeley:
Another natural one. What else do I do? Well, I guess I use eyelash curlers. Loads of people don't use them because they look really, really scary. They look almost like old-fashioned torture devices that were kind of back in Sixteenth Century England. But an actual fact, if you can master the art of the eyelash curler, and then put on mascara, you look so much more awake.
If you can just do it, brave it. Do it, go very, very gently first of all. Then just learn how to do it. It's amazing. I don't know a makeup artist who doesn't do it. It doesn't cost you anything. You just do it really quickly. Put your mascara on and it makes you look so much more awake.
What about when you're having like these 40-hour weeks, just like it's nonstop. What's your secret to having good constant overall energy?
Cat Deeley:
I actually take B-12. I take supplements of B-12 because I have quite low levels of B-12 anyway, so if I take them, it gives me plenty of energy. I try and remember as much as possible to drink water. Wherever you can grab a bottle, carry it with you, because it's one of the worst things we can possibly do is dehydrate ourselves.
For me, I love doing yoga too. I like to do just a little bit of exercise every day. Even if it's just a bit, I can walk -- I'm in a canyon, so I just stick on a pair of sneakers, take my dog, walk down to the bottom of the hill, and walk back up again, put my music on and have a little thing as I go along.
I'm outside and in the sunshine. I'm exercising my dog. It gets all your metabolism up and working, and I do it in about 40 minutes. Then, just jump in the shower.
If you can do a little bit every day, I think it's so much more beneficial -- not just in terms of keeping you slim and getting your metabolism going, but also in terms of keeping you in the right head space, making you breathe, getting the blood pumping, getting everything moving. I think it's the best thing you can do.
If you can just give yourself 30 minutes. For me, if you can work out the best way to do it is in just 30 minutes-40 minutes. You know, I don't do anything, I put my hair in a ponytail, and that's it. I'm down the hill and back up, and then I'm in the shower and I start my day.
Do you have anything besides
So You Think You Can Dance
coming up that you'd like to mention?
Cat Deeley:
Yes. We're doing a show on TLC as well called
My Dream Wedding
. I give budget brides the day that they've dreamed of, which is kind of amazing. I get to be a fairy godmother for a day, which is lovely.
When does
My Dream Wedding
Cat Deeley:
It's going out in the autumn sometime. I haven't got an actual date yet. I am [hosting].

Who doesn't like parties? I love them and always look forward to any of them and try my best to look stunning!!! Frankly speaking, I feel an instant surge of pride when people tell me that I look GREAT! But sometimes choosing great clothes is really challenging. First of all you don't know what kind of clothes and even style the other girls will choose, whether the event will last long, would you like to dance … Actually, it is better to clarify this points 'cause nobody likes to buy a pig in a poke.
I have already had one party in September, since it was long, with a nature break and dances my outfit was: practical, comfortable, stylish and reliable )))
My first option was: Frankie B. Jeans! Simple, fresh, stylish and comfortable. What else can be worn when you are going to visit a casual party?
The second option was: Joie Dress. You've got me right. Tops, blouses and T-shirts look too ordinary and I let the rest of guests to look like that, but my dress made a furor)
And the last detail that is worth your attention: Isabella Fiore Bag – chic and fab )))

Why is the wireless network data transfer rate is slow?
Questions and Answers regarding wireless connections.
There are two possibilities:
1. User is far from the AP (access point). Closer to AP means data transfer rate is high. A user can see the variable rates ranging from 11Mbps to 1 Mbps.
2. Since wireless network is shared network, its data transfer capability depends on how many users are using the same access point. If more people use the same access point then users might feel slow connection

Count values of a column if value in other column >x and create new data frame
I have the following data structure (which was actually created by counting the occurences of "Result" with ddply):
Experiment Result Count A 1 123 A 2 30 A 3 5 B 1 120 B 2 20 B 3 5 B 4 1 B 5 1 C 1 130 C 2 21 ...
I want to create a similar data frame that groups (calculates sum) of all results that are greater than 2.
Expected outcome:
Probably plyr can do this but I am new to R and have no idea how to use a custom condition (i.e. result 1,2,>2) and not just the distinct values of a column.
Note: I do not mind the name of the new bin (i.e., may be != '<2').

CLEVELAND – Northern Illinois University redshirt junior Meghan Heuer (St. Charles, Ill./North) has been named the Mid-American Conference's Women's Track Athlete of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday. She becomes the first Huskie to win the award this year and the first NIU honoree since Janay Mitchell on March 21, 2012, to earn the weekly award. "Our staff is extremely proud of Meghan earning the MAC Athlete of the Week award," said NIU head coach Connie Teaberry. "Meghan has trained hard the entire season and receiving this honor is a testament to her work ethic. We look forward to Meghan continuing her accomplishments this weekend at the MAC Championships." Heuer set a new NIU record in the 800 meters Saturday at the Wisconsin Open, running 2:08.54 to claim first place in the event. The St. Charles, Illinois, native topped the previous school standard of 2:08.94 set in 2012 by Rebecca Cronin and beat her personal record by over a second. NIU opens their postseason this weekend, as they are set for the 2014 MAC Outdoor Championships in Athens, Ohio. The meet starts Thursday and runs through Saturday.

Update rescued by Home at Last
According to Facebook: Greenville County Pet Rescue, this beauty will soon run out of time at the high-kill upstate shelter, meaning the shelter may kill at any time. More information can be found on this Facebook thread.
The shelter in Greenville, South Carolina is full. This sweet baby will soon be out of time, and only have hours or days left. Since Sox is heartworm negative, she's available for adoption, as well as rescue.
All this sweet girl wants is to be held and loved on. For that, her owner gave her a death sentence, unless someone steps up to save her.
NAME: Sox
SEX: female-spayed
EST. AGE: 8 yr
Est Weight: 48 lbs
Health: heartworm neg
Temperament: super loveable, loves everyone, kids, dogs, people!

Please share this article with friends in rescue, foster or who are looking to adopt a special pet. Social media has saved millions of shelter pets. Let's do our part to be sure this baby gets the chance at a forever home.
If you can't help a cat or dog in person, you can sponsor an animal by clicking here. This will enable a rescue to save the pet without any out of pocket expense, other than vetting and medical.

Apple's iPhone 5 has been filling all tech sites with news, wet pants, and dreams all across the world, and now we have confirmed news that Apple's new iPhone requires a nano-SIM. If you thought the micro-SIM was an annoying move, get ready for yet another change.
The nano-SIm standard was an Apple-designed change, and the company will now be relying on even smaller SIM cards for GSM, HSPA and LTE networks. Apple have said that there's no going back either, so holding onto your current micro-SIM won't help you at all.

1. Are there actually any laws being violated?
Yes, Green County's own animal cruelty ordinance states the following: "Any person owning or harboring an animal shall provide sufficient protection from the weather." (Chapter C 7-4-13-2)
2. Ponies are livestock, so aren't they meant to withstand cold temperatures outside?
These domesticated animals rely solely on humans for their protection, as they are not wild animals. The two ponies in question are tied up with a short rope and only have a few oil barrels and sometimes a board or two of wood as protection from the elements. A proper shelter for these animals includes three sturdy sides with a roof.
3. Will all of these calls to the Green County Sheriff's Office impede on emergencies?
No, individuals calling to report the neglect are using the department's non-emergency general number, not 911.
4. Instead of complaining, why don't you do anything for the ponies?
The Green County Sheriff's Office is charged with the responsibility to uphold and enforce the laws, regulations and ordinances of Green County. Because they are unwilling to do their job, we must raise awareness and encourage others to call the Sheriff's Department.
In addition, the Green County Humane Society is a private organization, with no authority in this matter, nor do they investigate animal crimes.
5. What has the Global Conservation Group done to help?
When the situation was first reported to the organization on January 6, 2014 they've been encouraging the Sheriff's Department to take action. Since they refuse, the group has launched a campaign raising awareness and has filed federal and state complaints against the department.
6. What would need to be done to resolve the situation?
Brad Zweifel, the owner would need to be formally charged with neglect and his animals would need to have proper shelter. (three sturdy sides and a roof).
7. What temperatures have the animals had to endure?
The temperatures during the last 30 days have dropped to negative 50 degrees with windchill.
8. Have you tried working directly with the owner to resolve this matter?
The Global Conservation Group, along with multiple other local citizens and organizations have contacted the owner in attempts to resolve the matter. However, he became very hostile and in one instance, authorities had to be called.
If you have any questions about this campaign, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

by Elie Wiesel
Night Chapter 4 Summary
- Buna seems dead, empty.
- Eliezer's group starts asking around to find out which is the best work group to be assigned to. The word on the street is that you just want to stay away from the construction "Kommando" or (work group).
- A fat German is in charge of them. One of his assistants tells Eliezer that, in exchange for his shoes, he will make sure Eliezer gets into a good labor unit. Eliezer refuses to part with his shoes.
- The next day there is a medical and a dental examination, only the doctors simply ask you if you're in good health and the dentist is just looking for gold crowns. If you have a gold crown, he writes your name (read: number tattooed on your arm) on his list.
- Eliezer has a gold crown.
- Eliezer and his dad are assigned to work in a warehouse for electrical equipment. Idek is their "Kapo," or work leader. They learn that Idek is a little crazy and it's best to stay out of his way.
- The work isn't bad, it's just counting pieces of electrical equipment. There are even civilians working there—Polish people and some French women.
- Eliezer becomes friends with Czechoslovakian brothers, Yossi and Tibi, whose parents had been killed in Birkenau.
- Their new block leader is a nice German Jew. Eliezer and his father now get a blanket, soap, and a washbowl.
- Eliezer uses trickery to keep his gold tooth. He keeps telling the dentist that he's sick and puts off the tooth removal. At last, the dentist is punished because he's been pocketing some of the gold crowns. Eliezer's tooth is, for the moment, safe.
- At the warehouse, Eliezer works near a young French girl who seems to him to be Jewish although she passes herself off as Aryan.
- One day, Idek (the crazy Kapo) gets angry and beats Eliezer. The French girl is kind to him and gives him a little bit of bread. She tells him not to give up hope.
- Many years later, Eliezer sees the French girl (now a woman) on a train in Paris. She remembers him too, and he discovers that she is indeed from a religious Jewish family but she managed to hide her identity to keep herself alive.
- Back in Buna in 1944, Idek goes crazy again and beats Eliezer's dad this time. Eliezer reflects on how inhumane the concentration camps made him; as his father is being beaten, rather than being mad at Idek, Eliezer is mad at his father for not avoiding the Kapo.
- Franek, the foreman, decides he wants Eliezer's gold crown. Eliezer won't give it to him. But, Franek discovers Eliezer's weakness—his father.
- Franek begins to torment Eliezer's father during their marches.
- At last, Eliezer gives in and his tooth is extracted with a rusty spoon in the bathroom.
- Idek marches them to work one Sunday (when working isn't required) and leaves them in Franek's care, saying he doesn't care what they do; he just doesn't want them in the camp.
- Eliezer goes exploring and discovers why Idek didn't want anyone in the camp: he's sleeping with this young Polish girl. Eliezer laughs, thinking about the absurdity of moving 100 prisoners to the warehouse just so he can get laid.
- Idek discovers Eliezer and gets angry. He gives Eliezer 25 lashes with the whip in front of the whole block and tells him he'll get five times that if he tells anyone what he saw.
- Some Sunday (time seems to blend) there's an air raid. The SS officers take cover, while the prisoners remain in their bunks.
- One man dares to venture out to get some soup, as the soup has been left out. For most people, terror is stronger than hunger, but not for this man. The man is killed, though, when the Allies start bombing Buna.
- All of the prisoners are glad to hear the bombs; they have renewed hope.
- A week later at roll call, everybody notices the gallows that have been set up in the middle of camp.
- The SS officers drag a young Polish man out of solitary confinement; he's going to be hanged for stealing something during the air raid. The Polish man cries "A curse on Germany! Long live liberty!" as the rope goes around his neck. Then he is killed.
- Eliezer witnesses other hangings. But the worst is the hanging of a young boy who is involved in resistance activities. Because he is light in weight, the hanging doesn't result in instantaneous death. The inmates are forced to watch as the boy on the end of the rope struggles for half an hour before he dies.
- That night, everything, including the soup they eat, tastes of death.

The organizers for the 2014 Iowa State Fair have made two big announcements this week. First on Tuesday, fair organizers announced that Contemporary Christian group the Newsboys and country phenoms Lady Antebellum would both be playing the 2014 Iowa State Fair Grandstand on separate days. Then earlier today, officials announced that Styx and Foreigner would co-headline the Grandstand this summer as well. The two bands will play the fair on August 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the concert will be $39 when they go on sale in the spring.
Styx burned up the 70's, 80's, and early 90's with hit after hit, including smashes like "Babe", "Come Sail Away", "Lady", "The Best of Times", "Too Much Time on My Hands", "Mr. Roboto", and "Show Me The Way". The band has generated 7 gold and 6 platinum/multi-platinum albums and toured all over the world. Check them out in the accompanying video.
Foreigner is one of the best-selling bands of all-time. The band's first five albums sold a combined 24 million copies in the U.S. alone. Like Styx, Foreigner was a well-oiled hit machine in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Hits like "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Double Vision", "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You", "Say You Will", and "I Want to Know What Love Is" dominated the charts worldwide. Foreigner just released their latest compilation, I Want to Know What Love Is: The Ballads, earlier this year.
Stay tuned to Examiner in the coming weeks as more of the 2014 Iowa State Fair Grandstand acts are announced. For more information on the Iowa State Fair, go to their website.

Sioux City, IA – The Black Hills State University Yellow Jackets knew that they would have to step up their game defensively if they wanted to keep their tournament hopes alive and they were able to do that against the three point crazy Eastern Oregon Mountaineers as they defeated Mountaineers 67-58.
The Lady Yellow Jackets once led by as many as 20 points, but the resilient Mountaineers were able to fight back and make a game of it. It looked as though Eastern Oregon may be able to make a game out of it, but seniors Jenna Bolstad and Alana Dykhouse would have nothing to do with that. When the game was on the line Bolstad Stepped up and had two key possessions scoring the Jackets five points, Bolstad finished the contest with 15 points. Dykhouse had been battling all night in the post with Eastern Oregon's Tana Stickney and Dykhouse was able to get three consecutive offensive rebounds to keep the Jackets offensive possession alive.
The Yellow Jackets will take on Indiana Wesleyan Friday, March 12th at 3:30 Central. Indian Wesleyan will come into the game as the number three seed; the Yellow Jackets will be the number two seed. All game can be seen on www.watchnaia.org, kdsj 980 am or heard live online at www.kdsj980.com.

Author: missclassy
That night I walked into my bed room and opened my window I didn't turn on the light and I could see Mr G sitting at his chair in the living room. He was masturbating. I was so surprised to watch him take his shaft and slowly milk it. I watched for at least ten minutes till he came in a burst of pleasure and his cum was shot all over his tee shirt. I lay in my bed and slowly fingered myself thinking how erotic that sight was and how I wished that I was able to do that for him. I wondered why he didn't close his shades, could it be that he wanted me to see his actions? An erotic thought none the less.
The morning was hot and I wanted a dip in the pool before I ate breakfast. I put on my black bikini and oiled myself with lotion I lay there on my lounge, I could see Mr G's kitchen window from my lounge. Through my sun glasses he could not tell that I was watching him watch me. I took the lotion and worked it into my skin under that cup of my top around my tits and I would run the oil all over my legs and up near my crotch. Mr G came out to his back yard. walking up to the fence and leaning over it
Good morning Missy,
starting the morning off right I see.
Oh hi Mr G, yea I love the pool but I need a tan, I'm to pail
well you sure look great I must admit.
cant get over how grown you have become.
"need help he asked"?
"well if you don't mind, I cant reach my back,"
he opened the gate door and sat down on the lounge as I lay on my stomach, he rubbed the oil all over my back and then my bare bottom, I caught myself moaning he never let on and continued to oil me, I knew he must be getting excited, but I didn't turn over to see till he stood up, what an impression he made, I could not help but notice his buldge.
I thanked him and he walked into his house all I could do is think about him touching my bare ass. I was excited to say the least. I could not get over his self control and I felt a little bad for taunting him but I did like the feeling of control, and me having the edge.
I lay there for several hours, and I knew the mail man was about to come, I ran to the box as I head him approach and told the man that I would deliver Mr G's mail being that he wasn't home that day, the mail man gave me his mail and I went into my house. I grabbed a robe from my closet and proceeded to my neighbors house.
I knocked on the door and he opened it with a surprised look on his face, looking both sides of the door, wondering why and who might be watching this young woman enter his home.
Here's your mail Mr Griss, the mail man put it in my box by accident.
well thank you Missy would you like to come in?
well maybe for a moment.
I entered the house through the kitchen area and he had a friend there I was not aware of who this man was but was about the same age as him rather stocky man glasses and white hair.
"George this is Missy, Donald's daughter" yes he looked like a George.
"well hello there, what a nice surprise, such a young one at that. you look great by the pool little girl". Your name is Missy?
I was taken back a bit, here I was almost nude in my bikini in front of two older men.
I would sure like to see that bathing suite of yours up close and personal. the stranger said,
Mr G was smiling. Well I'm not sure if she'll do that for us, maybe she feels a little awkward in doing that. Do you doll?
well I suppose I can show you what it looks like, I untied the robe and was standing there in front of two men with their eyes fixed on my tits. It was a crotchet bikini and the top just covered my nipples. It was created in a triangle shape, my bottom tied at the hips
Hell you hardly have enough there to cover your nipples, its enough to set any man crazy, and that sting goes right up the crack of that beautiful ass. Wow, I haven't had ass like that in fifty years.
Neither have I said Mr G.
I felt a hot rush all over my face and a twinge in my pussy, I knew I was excited and I enjoyed the attention and hunger these old men .
Come sit over here on my knee little one, lets see this thing up close and personal. I sat on this strangers knee and watched as Mr G looked over his glasses at what his friend would do. he took his hand and rubbed my button, and played with the string. Mr G took my hand and lifted me off his lap and told me "I think its time you went home little Missy, I appreciate you bringing me the mail."
later that evening I was sitting on my sofa watching a movie after I had changed into my short nighty's. The door bell rang and as I opened the door and it was Mr G
I suppose the mail man is new because I have some of your mail too, he said with a smile.
I wondered just how that happened but asked him in.
"I just started a movie would you like to watch it with me, its kinda lonely here with dad gone. "
Sure that would be nice thanks, his eyes were all over me," do you mind if I have something to drink?"
I knew he was still thinking about this afternoon. I poured him a scotch and poured myself one also. It was hard going down but it took the edge off of my horneyness and what I had done that past afternoon. I was thinking I was to brazen but never the less our neighbor was very nice to me.
I found myself dozing off with my head falling on his shoulder. His hand was on my leg which by now was under a blanket, I could feel his hand wander higher closer to my pussy as the movie wore on and I never gave attention of it. He softly stroked my leg and then in between my thigh, my pussy was aching by this time and I slowly opened my legs wider so he would have better access. He thought I was asleep, and his finger entered my pussy seeing that my hymn was intact and I was still a virgin. His breathing became more intense and his fingers went deeper into me. I could hardly contain myself.
I opened my eyes and his fingers were well embedded inside of my wet wanting pussy, he jumped and said
I'm sorry Missy, I should not have done that.
I took his hand and placed it back in between my legs, I wanted him to fuck me, and he knew it
I unleashed his cock, so large and so many vanes stood out, he put his hand behind my head and guided me to suck his shaft. I could barley get it within my lips. I slowly sucked up and down licked his head with my tongue, he just muttered and sighed,
"Oh damn I haven't had head in so long, your mouth is so hot, oh yea little one, keep it up"
my pussy was wanting and I wanted him too, I would not let him cum when he wanted,
I straddled him and told him
"Your gonna fuck me old man, now, right now,"
" I want your cock and I have wanted it for three days."
"I don't think we should he said, but he had no choice I was in control at that moment and he knew it.
your a hot little bitch ain't you, yes I am, and you like me hot, your hungry aren't you old man, you want this young virgin pussy don't deny it. so take care of business
he took his shaft in his hand and guided to the opening of my virgin hole. I slowly sat onto the shaft and he moaned and sighed with pleasure. his head moving side to side.
Damn your tight, oh shit, you feel hot
Oh your a tight fuck
that's right slow, yea deeper that's it, oh Damn, oh damn, he was moaning and shivering at the same time. I had this man in my control and I loved it. his hands pinching my nipples and him sucking on me as though he was a new born child. He was so hungry and so horney, I could not see that I had suck marks all over my tits, and had no time to care. I loved feeling his hunger.
Slowly I humped him till all seven inches were inside of my hurting swollen pussy, I could see a little blood, but I didn't care I want it all. I was mounted up on him and could feel him shutter, I came in a furry and then he released his cum and I was in heaven. I felt like I was dizzy, and as I got off of him the cum ran down my leg. I stood over him and kissed his lips, he took his fingers and stuck them up inside of my newly used wet pussy. he took them out of me and brought them to my mouth I licked his fingers all filled with our cum.
he reached over and drank the scotch empty got up belted his pants and walked to the door.
What a piece of ass little one. You re something else.
my please Mr G
As I fell alseep that night I knew then that I loved sex and I loved taking control of the hungry older men that need a good time. It was greater than anything I had imagined.

What if Hollywood were founded by the same people who brought you Detroit or, say, agribusiness? Would our movies and television shows be so much better?
Understanding the people who shape America's culture is hardly just an exercise in Jewish pride. Because even as America's political and industrial influence has waned, culture has remained one of its most popular exports.
So it's an interesting intellectual exercise, to imagine a Hollywood with a vast overrepresentation of Koreans or Latinos or WASPs.
On the one hand, you could argue that even if the stories would necessarily be different -- about 90 percent fewer Holocaust dramas, I suspect -- the storytelling itself probably wouldn't change much. Wouldn't the elements that make a compelling drama, a funny comedy, an involving cast of characters remain the same?
On the other hand, it's useful to consider what Jews and only Jews bring to the writing table. Not because it's better or worse (my sense is it may be the former, but the laws of political correctness mandate I throw in that phrase), but because it is Jews whose style and whose themes have dominated the entertainment media for much of the past century.
The problem in getting at an answer is that when it comes to discussing their Jewishness and its influence, entire generations of Hollywood writers can be frustratingly inarticulate and unperceptive.
But I knew Matthew Weiner would be different.
Weiner is the creator and writer of a show on AMC called "Mad Men."
Those of us who self-righteously claim we never watch TV always have to list the one or two or 20 shows we make an exception for, and the newest show on my list is "Mad Men."
It has maybe 1 million viewers -- 20 million less than "Dancing With the Stars" -- it's on an obscure basic cable channel, but, lucky for me, it's just been renewed for a second season.
On its surface, the show is about the world of advertising in 1960s Manhattan. It recreates that world with fealty and style, but only in service to a larger story about American culture and human nature. In other words, "Mad Men" is about what really happened when Ozzie went to work, or when Darrin and Samantha from "Bewitched" went into the bedroom.
At the center of the series is Don Draper, a creative exec at a mid-level firm. Don is played by actor Jon Hamm, whose talent and darkly handsome features provide an answer to one of the most pressing questions of our time: Who will be the next George Clooney?
Don has a blonde homemaker wife named Betty (January Jones), a couple of mistresses, and a secret past. After watching a few episodes, I was certain Don Draper's dark secret would be his Jewishness. After all, though he cleverly navigates his way through a perfectly recreated WASP world of Manhattan advertising, he never quite fits in. In the pilot episode, he meets Rachel Menken (Maggie Siff), a beautiful, strong-willed Jewish woman who runs her family's department store. She tries to crack the Draper wall.
"I know what it's like to feel disconnected," she says. Then they sleep together.
So when I met Weiner at his production office near downtown, one of my first questions was, "Is Don Draper a Jew?"
"Everybody asks me that," he said, "I had to go back and check -- did I put anything in the show that said Don's not Jewish? Don's a Jew in the sense that he is a white person who is an outsider, and that's what he gets from Rachel. That's what they like about each other."
And the accuracy of their relationship -- which is just a subplot -- in its emotional, social and historical details is why fans like me love the show.
"I am telling a story about people, and there is a nostalgia in it for people our age," Weiner explained. "When you know the end of the story, every detail on the way there is rich with irony and filled with insight. You watch 'Titanic,' and you know the end of the story. But what's amazing about it is, well, how did you get there?"
Weiner is on the fit side of 5-foot-9, hyper-articulate, funny and self-aware. His office features a threadbare couch, a paper-covered desk, liquor bottles, set props, a poster of his beautiful lead actress, and one of those '60s-era toys, the Whee-Lo. Is it at all surprising that most Hollywood writers' offices could double as a 12-year-old boy's fantasy of an office?
Weiner is 42, too young to have absorbed firsthand the scotch-and-cigarette world he writes about with such accuracy. He was born in Baltimore, but came of age in Hancock Park, attending Harvard Prep School then Wesleyan University. His father wasn't an ad man -- he was chairman of the department of neurology at USC.
What led him to write about 1960's Manhattan? "I have an answer, but its not a good answer," he said. "All I can say is 'Catcher in the Rye' was the first book I ever finished, and the whole time it made me obsessed with New York. I identified with this person about phonies and crummy people, but there were also Lunt and Fontanne and meeting someone at the clock at Grand Central."
Weiner's maternal grandfather was in the fur business in Manhattan.
"At some level he started my fascination with this period," Weiner said. "I wore his sharkskin suits and skinny ties even when I was in high school."
When the actor who plays Rachel Menken's father appeared on set in costume, he looked and sounded so much like his grandfather that Weiner choked up.
Almost eight years ago, Weiner was writing for the TV show "Becker" when he finished the spec script for "Mad Men." "When I wrote this pilot, all I was thinking was I wanted to write 'Playhouse 90.' I wanted to write a socially conscious ironic entertainment where the audience has no idea what's going to happen at any moment."
The script found its way to David Chase, who was impressed enough with it to bring Weiner on to the writing staff of "The Sopranos."
"The Sopranos was the trailblazer," Weiner said. "Something that was good and makes money. It was a model for concise storytelling, so dramatic."
Hesh, the Jewish mobster in The Sopranos, is an obvious precurser to Draper's lover Rachel Menken. Both are strong and successful in worlds where they don't really belong.
"I was kind of irritated that there were these reviews of 'Mad Men' and no mention of this Rachel Menken character," Weiner said. " I've been watching TV my whole life, and that is a new thing, for someone to come out and say she's Jewish. It shouldn't be a big deal but it was."
Although HBO passed on "Mad Men," -- "I think they have an agenda that I don't understand," Weiner said -- AMC picked it up and agreed to let Weiner call all the shots, a deal that Chase advised his protégé was too good to mess up.
So "Mad Men" is, to a great extent, Weiner's singular vision, funneled through the efforts of wildly talented actors and staff.
And that vision, it turns out, owes much to his Jewishness and not a little to ... Tikva Slomovic.
"She was a survivor," recalled Weiner of his Bible teacher at Temple Beth Am's Hebrew school. "She was very beautiful. She was one of the greatest teachers I've ever had in my life. She taught the Bible and she really taught me what was going on."
The Torah as literature amazed Weiner with its compact storytelling and its moral ambiguity. This past Rosh Hashanah, Weiner gave a drash at Temple Israel of Hollywood, where he and his architect wife, Linda Brettler, send their four sons to day school. During our interview, he launched into an analysis of Hagar's abandonment of Ishmael.
"It's not a story about some guy who was really good this year and did some great deeds and gets inscribed for 20 years of good life -- that's what it should be," he said. "At the moment when Hagar was supposed to be a good mother to him, she was not. One of these things about the Bible when you actually get into it is, it's so adult, and it's so related to our experience."
In "Mad Men," he said, he is reaching for the same powerful way of telling a story. "I am interested in ambiguity," he said. "That's very dramatic to me. I really love it.
"All of these stories involve tremendous moral tales. That was my real thing -- to say, instead of treating this like some golden era, let's look at these people and say they had the same problems. And I know it's heightened, and I know there's smoking and drinking and sexism, but I don't see anything different right now."
Biblical tropes become Jewish tropes, and Jewish experience becomes the American experience, and these themes course through the show's characters and plots, giving the stories depth and resonance. Weiner, like many great Jewish TV and film writers, tells of outsiders and insiders, of prejudice and acceptance, of people, like Hagar, making tough moral choices in an imperfect world.
"We're all telling the same story over and over again," Weiner said. "I'm interested in telling the story of what kind of person succeeds in the U.S., and it is the outsider, it is someone who is unattached that we value. To succeed in the U.S., one of the deals is you will have to become a white man, and what that means is you will have to give something huge up, which we've all done willingly, and that is very painful. And that is the story. You can reinvent yourself, it will be tolerated, but you are losing something that you don't think you value, but it's going to hurt you, because you can't escape yourself."
In short, Don Draper is not a Jew -- but Matthew Weiner sure is.

Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
Madame Bovary Part 1, Chapter 4 Summary
- It's the big day, and various friends and family members arrive in a bustle of horses, carriages, and passengers. Flaubert treats us to a rather ridiculous description of country folks; we are reminded again that this is not the sophisticated big city event that Emma longs for; rather, it is a procession of people awkwardly dressed up in their unfashionable best for a small-town wedding.
- We don't get to see the ceremony, but the wedding feast that comes afterwards is mouth-watering. The guests are treated to be huge table overflowing with roast beef, mutton, chickens, a suckling pig, many alcohols, and a dizzyingly fancy (and incredibly silly) wedding cake. The guests gorge themselves until nightfall, when they pile back into their vehicles and raucously drive back home.
- As everyone settles in for the night, a group of whiny wedding guests complain about how unsatisfactory the event was, cursing Monsieur Rouault behind his back (if you haven't already figured it out, Flaubert is highly attuned to the flaws and ironies of…well, of humanity on the whole).
- The Bovary family members are characteristically unimpressive during all of these goings-on. Charles's mother holds her tongue for once (though we can be sure that she's internally judging everything), while his father stays up partying and drinking all night with the guests. Charles himself is, as usual, fairly dull on the day of the wedding – but after the wedding night, he's a changed man. He's clearly very, very in love with Emma.
- The bride, on the other hand, is pretty casual about the whole thing.
- After the couple leaves to start their married life, Monsieur Rouault reflects upon his own life and his dear, departed wife. He remembers happier times and, overcome by sadness, heads home alone.
- Charles and Emma return to his house in Tostes; the neighbors show up to check out the new arrival.

Some recent overnight forecasts have called for cloudy, with a chance of sprinklers.
Three groups of canoe voyagers camped in Clark County this month while paddling down the Columbia River.
A six-week, 1,050-mile trip that included almost 200 paddlers at different stages took a lot of advance work. Ross MacDonald made various arrangements at about 40 riverside communities — including Vancouver — between Invermere, B.C., and Astoria, Ore.
The David Thompson Columbia River Canoe Brigade spent a lot of nights at parks along the way. MacDonald helped get the permits and do all the paperwork that goes into setting up an instant tent city. Vancouver doesn't allow overnight camping at Wintler Park, but made an exception for the brigade.
"It was a special circumstance," said Jilayne Jordan, parks and recreation spokeswoman.
MacDonald also made sure park officials at each site turned off the sprinklers. They learned that lesson when the Brigade got a late-night dousing during a 2007 trip, he said.
Still, the message doesn't always get through. They got a midnight drenching three weeks ago in their first night in Oregon. Or, as MacDonald referred to the experience, they got irrigated in Irrigon.
"We got up quickly," said MacDonald, the brigade chairman.
The campers covered a few sprinkler heads with buckets and smothered some of the spray with waterproof voyaging bags. They called the sheriff, who had a phone number for a municipal maintenance worker.
"He showed up an hour later," MacDonald said.
By then, the campers in the high-spray areas had moved their tents, MacDonald said.
Playing it safe
Members of Warm Springs and Cowlitz tribes avoided a similar experience when they stopped at Vancouver a few days ago. More than 170 people, including members of two tribal canoe teams, camped overnight to celebrate the historic connections between Fort Vancouver and Northwest tribes.
They were joined by several staff members from the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, including Superintendent Tracy Fortmann, who camped with her children.
Participants were dancing, drumming and singing at 10 p.m. when Fortmann learned that the sprinklers were running at the east end of the site. Fortmann and another staffer ran to the operations center and turned off the whole system.
Fortmann said she was assured that the sprinklers wouldn't have dampened the festivities, but "I felt it was better to be safe than sorry."

Island Detail | Island Public Assemby Map | All Islands Map | Get Directions To Here
Traffic islands are filled with histories, sounds, sights and movements…a cacophony of relations and possibilities. Spend a moment on an island, listen, look, learn about the history, about these spaces all over the place. There is much to see in the Islands of LA Nat'l Park. This is just what we did tonight. A small group of us gathered on an island in Glassell Park – Ismail, Maryam, Eva, Ari. Some of us have visited this location before and one person went to school around the corner from here.
The event was led by artist and urban geographer, Ismail Farouk, who was here from Johannesburg on a fellowship with the MAK Center that is called the Urban Futures Initiative. Several years ago, Ismail came up with a methodology he calls a Rhythm Analysis for learning about a place. It involves spending time in different parts of a place observing, reflecting and interweaving the various perspectives. It creates a tapestry that brings together history, an understanding of social, economic and political dynamics with the sights and sounds, and relations of a place into a picture of the here, the present moment.
The advantage of this is it includes the complexity of history with what is right in front of us. An active showing of the now. We played with this methodology for a couple of hours, just a brief experience of this approach but one that left an impression.
After discussions of history, class, economics, population we engaged in layers of listening. How can we listen? We can listen and write a word. Listen again, for duration…and now, listen for relationship, dominance, which sounds continue and which are brief, sharp, dull. And what is the implication? The tempo?
Look. Have I looked the way I just listened? Write what you see. Look again. Write. And again. Write and now write a a sentence, a paragraph, a poem, a text. Do this over and over, for periods of time and different spots. As this collects, the analysis forms.

Mini-games are everywhere. Videogames have gotten so big that we no longer bat an eyelid if they contain one or many bite-sized distractions that, twenty years ago, we probably would've been paying full price for. Hell, thanks mostly to Nintendo's DS and Wii, it's no longer a shock to see games made up from nothing but dozens of sub-games.
Some mini-games are amazing. Some are generic trash. Some pay heart-patting homage to yesteryear. Some are daft, ill-advised experiments that some crazy-eyed coder knocked up in a frustrated lunchtime. Some are integral to your progress. Others are neat bonuses. And some are so well-hidden that you'd need two copies of the internet and night vision goggles in order to sniff them out.
So, we present to you ten mini-games that, for some reason or other, stand out from the crowd, but have likely graced the eyes of very few players. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...
TimeSplitters 2 (PS2/Xbox/Cube, 2002)
We'll begin, however, with a set of mini-games that, of those in this feature, are probably the most 'well-known'. Throughout the game, three hidden console cartridges can be found, each unlocking a dinky little retro titbit to be played on your temporal uplink (a handheld map device).
Of the three – Anaconda, Astro Lander and Retro Racer – the first is the easiest to find, and the most addictive. It's an analogue-stick spin on mobile phone classic Snake, supporting up to four players, steering slinky reptiles around an arena in a bid for the high score.
