Tell You Prolong the Life of Your Laptop Battery
by FHKE
Tell You Prolong the Life of Your Laptop Battery
Initialize a new Laptop battery. New laptop batteries should be fully charged before their first use to obtain maximum capacity. Nickel-based batteries should be charged for 16 hours initially and run through 2-4 full charge/full discharge cycles, while lithium ion batteries should be charged for about 5-6 hours. Ignore the phone telling you that the battery is full–this is normal but is not accurate if the battery is not initialized. #DO NOT fully discharge a lithium-ion battery! Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion laptop batteries' life is shortened every time you fully discharge them. Instead, charge them when the battery meter shows one bar left. Lithium-ion batteries, like most rechargeable batteries have a set amount of chargers in them.
Keep the Laptop battery cool. Your laptop battery will last longest if used near room temperature, and nothing wears on a battery like extended exposure to high temperatures. While you can't control the weather, you can avoid leaving your laptop in a hot car or in direct sunlight. In addition, check the Laptop battery while it's charging. If it seems excessively hot, your charger may be malfunctioning.
Charge your Laptop battery correctly, in accordance with its type. Most newer laptop have lithium-ion batteries, while older ones generally have nickel-based batteries. Read the label on the back of the battery or in the technical specifications in the manual to determine which yours is.
Nickel-based batteries (either NiCd or NiMH) DO NOT generally suffer from a misunderstood phenomenon known as the "memory effect." The term "memory effect" has been widely mythologized to describe any and all deterioration of NiCd (and other battery chemistries), in many cases misleading consumers into further shortening the lives of the batteries through over-discharging to "recondition" them. [This section formerly read: If you charge the battery partially enough times, eventually the battery "forgets" that it can charge fully. A nickel-based battery suffering from memory effect can be reconditioned, which requires the battery to be completely discharged, then completely recharged (sometimes several times). The appropriate length of time between reconditionings varies. A good rule to follow for nickel-battery cell-phones is to discharge them completely once every two to three weeks, and only when you have a charger available. Lithium ion batteries can be preserved by careful charging and avoiding storing them at full charge.They do not require "reconditioning." Regardless of the battery type, use only a charger rated for your battery, and discontinue use of a charger that causes the battery to heat up excessively.
Store Laptop batteries properly. If your battery will be out of use for a while, disconnect it from the laptop and store it in a cool place (the refrigerator is good, but freezing temperatures do not slow oxidation) and away from metal objects. Ensure that the battery is not exposed to moisture; try putting the battery in an airtight container or bag. Lithium ion batteries are not rated to operate at refrigerated temperatures, so let the laptop battery sit outside the refrigerator for at least an hour before using it again. Lithium ion laptop batteries oxidize least when they are stored at 40% charge. Never store a lithium battery at low voltage. Recharge batteries after storage.
Clean the laptop battery contacts on the battery and on the laptop. Over time, contacts may accumulate dirt. Clean them with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to maximize the efficiency of energy transfer. In addition, if the contacts are two different metals, such as gold and tin, accelerated corrosion known as "fretting" occurs. Cutting the corrosion from fretted contacts often requires solvents, such as acetone or nail polish remover. Be careful: these solvent dissolve plastic, so use a Q-Tip to avoid damaging the battery housing or the laptop.

MORE Men
I am a 77-year-old married man with two daughters and five grandchildren. I receive Money, Consumers Report and Car and Driver. But, I wanted to let you know that the MORE magazine my wife receives is the one that I look forward to reading the most. Naturally, I don't get to read it first so I just wait my turn. We have both of our daughters receiving MORE also. However, the real purpose of the message is to let you know how much I enjoy reading your editor letter. You are so open about your life and your experiences that when I start to read the magazine the first thing I do is turn to your letter.
By my reading your article and some of the other articles in all the other issues I find that no matter who you are or what you do, somewhere along the way we all share some of the same common concerns. Thank you for helping us all to understand this.
I would hope that more men would take the time to read your magazine and learn more about the women that they are married to or live with. And also find out just how tough women are and what they go through at some point in their life. Thank you.

Things Changed
Dear Lesley, I can't tell you how much this issue of More magazine has meant to me. After 25 years of an unbelievably close bond with my youngest daughter, things changed (with her) last July. Now the relationship is very distant and strained. I have been devastated and thought I was the only mom who had to deal with something like this, but after reading your editorial and the article by Jamie Lee Curtis, I felt much better. I just hope that, in time, my daughter… will someday see me with different eyes. Thank you.
Gayle Fischer
A Wonderful, Honest and Pretty Lady
Wow. This has got to be one of the very best issues I have ever received!!!!!! I think Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the most down-to-earth ladies I have ever seen. I do think her beautiful mother would be so proud to see how she has grown into such a wonderful, honest and pretty lady. . . . Like mother, like daughter. Thank you for this sweet and thoughtful article. I have decided to let my hair go gray. Jamie Lee is my inspiration!!!! Her beautiful mother was one of my favorite actresses. Thank you, again.

Saying it Out Loud
Hi Lesley, You said it out loud. Your issues with your mom. Your words reverberated with me. You were so brave to talk so candidly and truthfully. My story is similar but I never talk about it – I just keep trying to always keep it behind me. I left for college and never went home again. . . .

Women Who Go or Stay Gray
While I love reading your More Magazine, I find that the magazine has a strong aversion to gray-haired models and fashions and styling tips catering to a gray-haired woman. As a woman in her late 40's, I have embraced my natural hair's progression from carefree youth to earned wisdom which I inherited from my Polish grandmother. I would love to see More articles especially on how to make the most of this head of hair as it pertains to fashion and style. I am even willing to be a Tim Gunn candidate in order to re-vamped with clothing and hair-style. But I will not color my hair!
The recent article on Jamie Lee Curtis was great as she is a celebrity who has made the decision to stay true to herself. There are lots of other women out there who have this same attitude but they have been met by criticism by their female peer-group for their choice to follow nature's course. I must say that nothing is worse than seeing a bad coloring job on a lovely forty year old woman who is still trying to look like she is twenty five. I think that a well-fashioned outfit could make one look her best for her forty plus age using her natural hair color as a fashion accessory.

Arizona State's starting point guard for three seasons who ranked ninth in the Pac-10 with a 15.3 points per game mark in conference games in his senior season. Finished his career sixth on the ASU career steals chart with 153 and tenth on career assists chart with 312. A favorite among teammates because of the way he handled adversity during his career. He played one of the most inspirational games among anyone in college basketball and earned the respect of his team when he took the floor vs. seventh-ranked Arizona on Jan. 14, 1999, despite knowing his father had passed away from a battle with cancer that morning in Louisiana. Mason battled Jason Terry and had 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting, five assists and three rebounds in 37 minutes.
Mason has had a lot of happenings with his family in recent years which have made him mature. In his first year, his father Alvin Ford died of cancer in January. In his second year, his mother was diagnosed with lupus in January and had surgery in early March, yet that was when he played his best. He flew back in the middle of the year to see her in Nebraska, and then met ASU in Oregon and had 14 points in a heartbreaking loss in Eugene, yet helped ASU to an overtime win at Oregon State two nights later with 18 points. He was married in the summer of 2000 to Anita Kelly, and the couple has a son, Alton, Jr., And in 1999-2000, when freshman Kyle Dodd took over the point job duties for a five-game stretch while Mason's play was not up to Rob Evans' demands, Dodd said one of the reasons he played so well in that time was that Mason gave him support.
Mason was the team's lone senior in 2000-2001 and he led the team in scoring at 13.4 points per game (14th in Pac-10) and was the only Sun Devil to start in all 29 games. He posted 30 points vs. second-ranked Stanford on Jan. 4 and had 23 points at the top-ranked Cardinal in season finale on March 10. In his final home game on March 3, he hit the game-winning shot with four seconds remaining to give ASU a 61-59 win over Oregon State. Two nights earlier, he made 17-of-19 free throws and scored 25 points in a win over Oregon. In his final 19 games he made 82-of-103 (.800) from the free throw line. Finished the year fourth in the league with 1.66 steals per game and was seventh with 3.76 assists per game and a 1.68 assist-to-turnover ratio.
In his junior season (1999-2000), ASU finished 19-13 and Mason averaged 12.7 points in his final seven games. He posted 11 points, five assists and just one turnover in 36 minutes vs. Cal on March 9 as ASU improved to 10-7 in the Pac-10 and had 18 points in 38 minutes at Oregon State on March 4 in an overtime win. He also had 14 points at NCAA-bound Oregon on March 2 and had 18 points (all in the final 6:15) at fourth-ranked Arizona on Feb. 26.
In his first year at the Division I level (1998-99), he started slowly but came on strong at the middle of the Pac-10 season. He had 15 steals in his final eight games and averaged 31.4 minutes per game on the year. Mason was the team leader with 119 assists (4.1 per game) and also had 60 steals. He averaged 32.8 minutes in Pac-10 play after he did not score in double digits until the seventh game of the year, when he had 11 points vs. UNLV on Dec. 5. Posted 10 points at USC in league opener on Jan. 2 and had back-to-back 13-point games vs. Washington State (Jan. 9) and vs. seventh-ranked Arizona (Jan. 14). He had 13 points, five assists and three steals while going against eventual Pac-10 Player of the Year Jason Terry in the Arizona game and had 14 points and six assists at Washington on Feb. 6. At tenth-ranked Arizona on Feb. 10, he played 38 minutes without a turnover. Scored in double digits in five straight games at the end of the year. He did not turn the ball over vs. Kansas State on Nov. 24 (34 minutes), vs. Stephen F. Austin on Dec. 8 (25 minutes) and vs. Navy on Dec. 28 (26 minutes).
Led Barton County Community College to a 29-4 record in his one season (1997-98) and started all 33 games. He posted a school-record 8.3 assists per game, including 16 in the team's first game. Averaged 10 points and 3.3 steals as the Cougars won a share of the conference title with a 14-2 Jayhawk West record and ended the season ranked ninth. He had 109 steals and led Region VI (19 teams) in steals, assists and assist-to-turnover ratio. Shot 53 percent from the field in leauge games and was a first-team all-conference pick.
Mason competed well against some of the best point guards in the nation the past three years, including lottery picks Jason Terry of Arizona and Baron Davis of UCLA. He signed in the 1998 spring signing period, but originally signed with Marquette in 1996 and then transferred to Barton County Community College, where he played one season (1997-98). He graduated from Northeast High School in Lincoln, Neb., in 1996.

Creepypasta: A Different Sort of Cage
You probably shouldn't have strayed this far from the path. It's almost dusk now and you're nowhere near any familiar landmarks that were close to your old campsite. The others are probably getting worried now, assuming they didn't all get drunk and fall asleep early like last night. You make a mental note to get some better friends if you ever go camping in a group again. The entire reason you took this walk was to get away from those guffawing morons.
"Whatever…just whatever…" you sigh heavily as you lean against a pine tree's low-hanging branch for support. You're getting tired now, and you should probably find a place you can rest for a few minutes.
As you come to a clearing, you think it will be as good a place as any to stop and recuperate when you see something odd. In the low dip in the earth that lies in the clearing's central vicinity is a man with a strange mask, although his clothes and skin tone seem normal enough. He is hunched over, staring at a furry blob in a small iron cage. As you get closer (against your better judgement, for sure) you note that what at first appeared to be an amorphous brown thing in the cage is actually a fox.
"Hello, Human" the man speaks without looking up.
The words bother you for some reason, but not as much as how he said it. He enunciated the words in a very strange manner, as though he struggles to pronounce common English. His own ethnicity is unclear, as his skin is pale but more plain white than a Caucasian's soft brownish-pink. You note that his pale blue mask has three eye holes, a feature which you'd rather not dwell on.
"What are you doing out here? And uh, who are you exactly?" you ask the man. You aren't one to get tongue-tied just that easily.
"I'm here to bask in my own superiority. And-"
"What, to this fox? That's pretty sad" you snicker.
"No" he says, clearly annoyed that you cut him off. "To all of Humankind. And my name is The Triptych, since you asked that too."
"Dramatic much?" you ask. This goofball can't be for real.
"This is why I don't like dealing with Humans" he sighs. "Go figure the Old Ones task me with you things so often."
"Uh-huh. So tell me how observing a caged fox reminds you of your superiority to us humans?" you ask.
"Tell me, have you ever heard of the concept of ley lines?" he asks, clearly pleased that you are interested.
"It sounds familiar, but I don't remember exactly" you say to him.
"If you were to use a map, or even just Google Earth, you'd notice that famous supernatural locations such as UFO sightings or haunted areas always, always, always group together in straight lines. Where these lines connect and intersect you find ancient monuments like Stonehenge or the earliest of the pyramids," he explains. "Do you know why that is?"
You can swear he is grinning under that mask.
"Coincidence?" you hesitantly ask, to which he scoffs in response.
"Far from it. The Old Ones who cast the dice that determine the fate of your race don't want you to leave the universe you are shackled to. Ley lines are cosmic energy in their most undiluted, and they are anathema to an ugly, skeptical, race like your own that only believes in what they can see at any given moment. These ley lines have a side effect of keeping you from wandering outside your world by triggering conflict, tragedy, and plague whenever you come close to catching a glimpse of the planes of existence outside your own. Whenever you start to think of things you have no business with they ensnare your people like a spider's web. They wrap around your planet, entangle it, bind it in place." Scratch that, you're positive he's grinning at this point.
"So why are you looking at this fox in a cage in the middle of some random clearing again?" you ask.
"First off, I lied. This is more than a fox. This is a relic of a bygone age, when myths walked alongside your race and Humans widely accepted the plausibility of a reality outside their own. You were coming dangerously close to realizing the paper-thin nature of your own universe. I like coming to this cage with the Kitsune in it to remind myself of just how unobservant your race really is now. Like you, the Kitsune sees the clearing around it and thinks she can someday go there. And like you, she will never leave the place she is trapped in. Your kind may visit other planets, other galaxies, even discover other races not unlike your own. But ultimately you will never break free of your cage, Human."
You open your mouth only to close it again after a few seconds, not sure what to say.
"By the way" The Triptych says. "Your campsite is just over the ridge to the northeast. I could barely concentrate here, those idiots have been making an insufferable din since they broke out the Captain Morgan."

I'm glad you found it entertaining.
I'm glad you found it entertaining.
It was really funny. He's just, he knew where it was. and he didn't have to ask what the human was doing in the woods. That would be creepy
This is really good… I'm really curious on what his face looks like behind the mask now O.O
It's really rare to find short stories written in 2nd person pov imo, it really made me feel like i was a part of the story.
It's really rare to find short stories written in 2nd person pov imo, it really made me feel like i was a part of the story.
I'm glad you liked it. I'm not sure why, but a lot of my creepypasta shorts are in 2nd person.
I always enjoy The Triptych.
Thanks. He is a pretty interesting dude. ^^
He most certainly is~ You could do a lot with that character.
So I guess it's not that scary but it was an amazing story.
I love your writing style so much.

Darling 2011 Grain and Bean Share Customers,
Now that turkey butchering, delivering, and eating is safely behind us, it's now time to turn our focus to your heritage and ancient grains.
It was a season of success and failure (as any season will be). Our Prairie Farro was a great success while our Calais Flint Corn withered without rain. Along with the Prairie Farro, you will receive our Bronze Barley, Sonora Heritage Wheat, and Petite Crimson Lentils.
Currently we are waiting for two of our grains to be cleaned. They should be done sometime near the end of December. Our plan is to make deliveries the first half of January to the following cities: Great Falls, Helena, Bozeman, Missoula, and Whitefish. If you would be willing to host a delivery location in one of those cities, please let us know.
In the meantime, just to get you excited, at the link below are a few great recipes from Ari Weinzweig, the author of Zingerman's Guide to Good Eating, writing in the Atlantic last year:
Fresh Recipes With an Ancient Grain: 4 Ways to Prepare Farro
And, in a recent post on NPR's food blog, Allison Aubrey includes Farro as part of her "Tips For Three-Course Meals On Less Than $5.00."
Go Farro, go!

Lots of Jobs cleaning up the environment, not building new sprawl
In this case, well paid construction jobs were created by DEP clean water requirements.
Upgrading environmental infrastructure and compliance with environmental laws creates thousands of jobs.
Germany recently created 170,000 well paid high technology jobs in just one segment of the solar industry -
NJ could create hundreds of thousands more jobs and thousands of new small businesses right here in NJ in we got serious about investing in and regulating a transition to an energy efficient, renewable energy, high environmental quality economy.
I never hear the lobbyists or officials in Trenton say that. I never read that in the newspaper.
Wonder why?

TC TO DAVID LAING ; 24 September 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410924-TC-DL-01; CL 13: 261
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea, London, 24 Septr, 1841—
My dear Sir,
It is a most acceptable present you have made me, this of Baillie,1 which I find waiting my return here. The Letter, after some wanderings, had already reached me, about two weeks ago, in Cumberland;2 but I delayed answering it till I should see the Book itself. The Book itself is now here, all right and safe: many thanks to you;—thanks for this special gift to myself; and thanks in the name of all students of British History for your general gift. It will be a real pleasure to me to recommend this book in all ways I can. I am already cutting it up (in the literal sense, with a bone folder!) in all quarters, especially in the Appendixes; and hope to glean many useful notices from it. Your pains, which must have been great, are not misspent; Baillie was well worth such trouble: no other more so that I have ever met with in this department of things, except perhaps Spalding alone, who I find has already been cared for.3
I perceive you have omitted the old meagre Life of Baillie:4 I hope you mean to furnish us with one of your own writing instead? Some short Historical Compend, digested into periods, and exhibiting the general posture of affairs from crisis to crisis,—such as might perhaps fitly enough be introduced into a Life of Baillie,—would greatly facilitate the common reader's access to these Letters, increase the circulation of the Book, and be useful to everybody. I will also petition for a good copious Table of Contents, or even a general Index of Persons and Matters: this latter, or still more both latter and former, would be a great accommodation.5 No Book of that period is so like a File of contemporary Newspapers; which, with an Index is so valuable, and without one is like a filled warehouse without windows or shelves!
With many kind thanks, / Yours always truly / T. Carlyle

She Told Me About The Old Boyfriend's Big ****One night a few years ago we had planned to stay in watch movies and give each other massages. And well we were also drinking lemoncello, a lot of it, to the point that we were both a little wobbly. So the talk about sex became pretty fluid and uninhibited.
We started talking about out sexual pasts. I wasn't surprised that she had quite a few men because she is very shapely and pretty. Now she had always given me the standard I was the biggest and the best she ever had, but on this particular night the alcohol allowed her to spill the truth. And I didn't even have to pry it out of her.
We are both divorced when we met, and were both single for about 3 years before we got married to each other. So we talking about how many people we ****** in that time period, and she blurts out "I dated one guy for a year and a half and you talk about big…". And I said "big in that way?", and she didn't answer, she just stared at me seductively. "So you have ****** a big ****?" I asked. And she just stared right into my eyes. And I asked again, and still no response, she just gazed at me. I was floored.
Well that opened the flood gates to a whole range of questions. I just had to know the details. Finally she says "Ok I'll tell you, but do you want to know who it is because you know him?" I thought about that for a long while and said no. I still don't know who it is to this day.
So she proceeds to tell me that he was huge. And I kept asking how big. So she said she never measured it but it was quite a bit longer and thicker than me. We have an assortment of toys so I drag them out of the box and have her tell me which one is closest and she points and says "that one" is pretty close. "That one" was one of those lifelike ****** with balls attached and a suction cup on the bottom. It is about nine inches long and really thick.
How many times did you **** it? Honey we were together for a year and a half, I was ******* it 4 or 5 times a week.
Did he use a condom? No
Did you suck it? Yes. Did he *** in your mouth? Many times. Did he *** a lot? Yes. More than me? Yes.
Did his **** make you *** harder than mine? Yes, he was so much bigger.
Could he last a long time? As long as I wanted.
Was he a better **** than me? Pause…pause…pause…Yes.
I did the same thing and got us a young proxy with a huge one! We both enjoy i t

Nothing Sevier than a blunt direct lady!
I too have quizzed my wife about the same when we get a little buzzed. We did a 3sum years ago and he was way bigger than me and it was clear she enjoyed him far more than I. Her face when she first saw his fat tool and her face as he first pushed it into her will always be etched in my mind. We were in our mid 20's and I thought I was a stud. His skills far surpassed me, his confidence and the way he took charge of her was a learning experience. His 8.75 inches was just a bit under 3 inches longer than mine and she could not reach her fingers around his almost 7 inch circumference. He could access her so easily with his length was one of the things she commented on later about him. " he made it so easy to take me me from any position where you have to be up against me and close." She told me then and since that I or no one else has come close to pleasuring her like Steve did. She told me once " you make love to me and so can he but you can't fu@@ me like he did. He really did give it to her and surprisingly she was doing him back at times as hard as he was giving. Watching her come about 5 times in 15 minutes was shocking. It's no wonder she banged him as many times during that day and a half. He must have ********** eight or ten times from 9pm to 1pm the following day. And he too shot massive amounts compared to me, probably 3 times the volume. The second time he came within 1 hour he pulled out and let go on her stomach and ****. I mean 7 or 8 thick ropes 18 inches long. She was in awe saying " oh shi@ J look how much he comes." He second load at least doubled my volume. He was a stud and if he hadn't died (motorcycle) we would still be at it.
My wife has always known what turns me on and she teases me quite often. She knows she only has to mention "big *****" and her past lovers and affairs, and I'm aroused straight away!
It all started way back when I went round to a girlfriend's house to pick up some records we listened to while we dated. I wanted them back and knocked on her door. There was no reply, but I could hear one of the tracks we played and I thought maybe she didn't hear the door, so I went around the back of the house to see if she was there. She was there all right...naked from the waist down but for her garter belt and stockings...on her knees in front of a tall naked(also from the waist down) black guy with the biggest, thickest **** I had ever seen, stuck right in her mouth. It looked all of 10-11inches of solid dark oak.
She was ******* him into her mouth and cupping his big balls, and as the record died out both he and she were sounding like he was ready to ********* and she was going to take the lot, as she had always done with me...she enjoyed the taste of *****, and compared mine with her previous boyfriends she also had fellated, Mine tasted peppery, she told me that she liked to finish sex this way, mostly, as she preferred oral to penetrational ******.
Anyway...getting back to "the room"...the sight of her sucking him off, his butt clenching and him ******* his hips forward and back made me feel both sick in the stomach and aroused at the same time...the sheer erotic thing that was happening and the way she wantonly took him in her mouth was making me rock hard! She must have been up to no good while we were dating...all my friends told me she was no good, but I didn't listen...
He suddenly went tense and told her he was "gonna come", and she kept him tightly in her mouth, his jerks told me he was letting her have it to her tonsils, and she was loving it! He thrust his hips forward around a dozen times, I know, and she had some trickle out of her mouth down her chin which she quickly licked up and got from her fingers...it looked like threads of shiny silk between her fingers as she held them to the light, then popped them into her mouth too, not wishing to waste any of his "swimmers".
I frequently jerked off on the strength of that sight for years after, and THAT, readers, is why I have the need to see my wife do that same act, which she has done with previous lovers, and she has told me all about her previous lovers with big ***** too, how long and thick each **** was, how their balls were full of ***** and how much they came and where..plus other experiences she has had in cars and hotel rooms, and also in the woods not far from here.
Things have now progressed to her mentioning a few nights ago that one particular guy she had a fling with was very well endowed and if she met him again, she knew she could not trust herself not to want his **** again. I asked her if she really fancied having him **** her again, and she likes the idea...she even asked me if I wanted to meet him and his wife!
Part of me is very aroused by the idea, and I want to say yes, but there would have to be conditions. I really want to watch her take his **** and him come in her, but if I lose her to him then what's left... if it's going to be a one time only, then I told her perhaps she should do it to get him out of her system....but what if she wants his **** again...?
Furthermore, what if he wants a *********, what and how much of a role, if any, do I play? I know about the sanctity of marriage but it never stopped her in her previous marriage and I think it still wont stop her if she wants him after we meet up...the question is...What is she planning?
This is my kink too :) My wife has been a hotwife for about seven years now, almost since we first met... Although she is really demanding and isn't always 100% satisfied with the guys she meets, when she finds someone who is really good, and she tells me that she enjoys sex with him more than with me, and he has a bigger ****, those are the sexiest times.
After all, what would be the point of her having lovers if they didn't offer her something better than what she gets at home :)
Her pleasure is my biggest turn-on.
I got the exact same response from my wife about her ex! It makes me *** so hard thinking about it
i love it when ladies talk about the big ***** theyve had. if any ladies want to pop a memory into my in box please feel free :)
My misses been with a moster one she was shocked could not take it all but did her best. Its a turn on but at same time wish I saw it or was me that big.
Did his **** make you *** harder than mine? Yes, he was so much bigger.
Could he last a long time? As long as I wanted.
Was he a better **** than me? Pause…pause…pause…Yes.
I LOVED reading this! Thank you.
I love hearing about my wife's past sexual experiences. She finally opened up to me last year about a guy she had an affair with for 2 years during her last marriage. I always knew there was something different there and finally she told me how big his **** was and how much she loved ******* him. 9 full inches and 6 inches around, very hard and could stay hard for numerous sessions. Turns out they would meet in the hotel on a Friday night and **** nonstop until she left Sunday morning. They didn't go out for fear of being seen, so they literally ****** the entire weekend. His wife didn't like it rough because he was so big so once every 3 or 4 months they would get together and he would pound her as hard as he could and she loved it. We have had fantastic sex while she tells me about ******* him and how great his giant **** felt.
She told me how sore she was afterwards, for days, and I could tell she really missed it. It has been over 7 years since she ****** him. We do like ********** with other guys and I asked her if she would like to **** him again. She couldn't believe I was serious and also said there was no way he would ever go for a *********. So I finally called him and explained to him that I was cool with everything.
We live in Austin and he lives in Florida. Now she is flying out there Saturday afternoon and getting there around 9 pm. He is picking her up and they are going to the hotel and have about 8 hours alone until he has to get her on a 6 am flight back home. They are not allowed to communicate at any other time and as long as this goes well, she will be allowed to fly out 4 or 5 times a year and spend a weekend getting ****** senseless. I have shared her with one guy that is that long but not as thick, and she goes crazy on his **** and afterwards is so swollen that is feels like a totally different *****. I can't wait to feel her after this guy. She will literally **** him all night, get on the plane full of his *** and fly straight home to me and tell me everything while I slide in and out of her feeling his ***. She is happy and I am happy.
When I was dating my wife, I made a joke about her ex being small. She felt compelled to correct me and said, "He did NOT have that problem". I then asked if he had a big ****. To which she replied, "Oh yeah!". I then asked if I had a big ****, as my only reference to erect penises was ****. She diplomatically responded that I had a good girth. In other words, no. She later also let me know that he had very good stamina and could give her a penetrative ****** in one position which I have not been able to do. My ego has battled with this information for 15+ years. I just want her to be satisfied. I'm starting to feel like someone else may have to do it for me.
I've had the same, and it really turned me on to hear how her ex used to bang his big balls against her, cos mine are so small in comparison. He also *** loads more than me, she said, and this really turned me on, especially when she would say he was so much more manly than me down there. Hard to explain why this should turn any guy on, but it does. She also cheated on me with a much bigger endowed friend, and this did the same, although it shouldn't have.
My wife had an ex like yours does - and I love imagining it.
Oh the bitter sweet pain of the truth....that statement will give you years of wanking material. :-)
Its a shame you've never seen that side of your woman. Get the guy and share in the pleasure that he provides.
I wrote on your wall that my wife told me about her bigger **** BF from long ago this weekend during sex. she even called out his name while i did her doggy style. i came so fast n hard. I am trying to get her to fly out to her home town for a reunion, this guy has no clue she would be coming out, or that i want my wife to open her legs to please him and her once more. I dont care if he is married, i will pay for their motel for the day and night if i have too. she said maybe, she hates to fly.
oh i forgot the best part...the really big guy didn't wear a condom when he did her.
She had a lot of big guys but she said that one of them was absolutely huge - almost as thick as a beer can. She had no problem telling me about him quite soon after we met. I also heard about all of the other guys that were bigger than me. She's very small but ****** a lot of big italian jocks when she was younger. I think about what it would like like for a big dark **** that thick to penetrate her like that. And it was her first time so it hurt her a lot. I know part of her still worships that huge **** and what it did to her. When she drinks with girlfriends she still talks about it like she's proud of taking all of it after it popped her cherry. I think it's kind of cool that her first time ******* was a proper ****. He was huge, lasted a long time, and did her really hard. Part of her hated it and part of her absolutely loved it. I want to buy her a ***** exactly that size but she doesn't want one that big.

Third Annual Composer Festival Features Jackson Berkey
The Sterling College Chorale and SC Concert Choir have been preparing for the 3rd Annual Composer Festival, scheduled for Monday, October 1, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sterling United Presbyterian Church. This year's featured composer will be Jackson Berkey, an internationally recognized composer and pianist.
The public is invited to a concert featuring Berkey's music, which will be sung by the Sterling College choirs, accompanied by Berkey and directed by Almeda Berkey, Jackson's wife.

Associate Professor of Music Brad Nix is organizing the Composer Festival. He said, "Berkey is a fabulous composer with fresh music that is historically rooted. He seems to show and have a command of many different styles that makes his music very American with a jazz and folk-spirited sound."
Berkey has published over 400 titles for various groups of musicians including choral, solo vocal and instrumental, chamber ensemble, band and orchestral works, concerti and works for chorus and orchestra. Recently, Berkey has been writing major choral/orchestral works performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
His works have also won several awards including the Nebraska Individual Artist Fellowship for Performing Arts Distinguished Achievement in Composition Award, First Prize in the New Music for Young Ensembles Composition Contest in New York City, First Prize at the Alienor Harpsichord Competition in Hilton Head (NC), annual ASCAP Awards and award-winning video scores. He was also named to the International Roster of Steinway Artists in 2009.
Berkey is currently composing "24 Nocturnes," one in each key. These works draw inspiration from composers such as Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Barber and Copland. The public may recognize his name from his previous work with Mannheim Steamroller as the keyboardist for 38 years, American Gramaphone and SDG Records.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, Xperia Active and TXT announced (video)
Sony Ericsson has just unveiled three new phones, two of which are part of the Xperia family.
The first new product is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, a fashionable, 9.4mm thin smartphone that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and comes with a 3.3 inch scratch-resistant FWVGA Reality Display. The Ray also features "Facebook inside Xperia", HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, 8.1MP autofocus camera with Exmor R for mobile, HD video recording, 1GHz processor, and a 4GB memory card pre-installed.
The Xperia Ray will be available in select markets (including Japan) starting the third quarter of the year. You can watch a video promo of it below:
Next we have the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active (which should be released at about the same time with the Xperia Ray). As its name suggests, this is a smartphone targeted at users "with an active lifestyle."
Also running Android Gingerbread, the Xperia Active is water resistant and dust proof, and has a unique "wet finger tracking" feature for, ensuring "the phone works perfectly when either the screen or a user's fingers are wet."
The handset comes with a 3 inch HVGA Reality Display, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, GPS, barometer, compass, on-screen heart rate and pulse info, wrist strap, Facebook inside Xperia, 5MP camera with HD video recording, 1GHz processor, and a 2GB memory card pre-installed.
Finally, let's meet the Sony Ericsson TXT:
Like the TXT Pro slider announced earlier this month, the Sony Ericsson TXT isn't a smartpohne. It's a BlackBerry-styled candybar with a QVGA landscape display, and a full QWERTY keyboard. Other features include: Wi-Fi, SMS shortcut key, Facebook and Twitter access, 3.2MP camera, and MicroSD card support. The handset should be available starting Q3.
As you can see, we still have to wait for Sony Ericsson to announce the rumored Xperia Duo – of course, it may actually never do it.

Zensah's high tech compression socks get even more high tech
It took me a while, but I'm now a believer in compression gear.
Popular in track and field, but not only for runners, compression socks and sleeves not only help prevent injury, but they also can help an athlete recover from a tough workout or competition.
A lot of companies make compression gear, but Miami-based Zensah is taking it a step further in 2014.
New compression socks from Zensah improve on their original compression sock idea. Zensah's newly released Tech+ Compression Socks give extra support to athletes with ankle and plantar fasciitis.
Zensah's Marketing Director, Suzanne Kerpel, explains it well. "As a comfort and technology focused company, it is exciting to release the Tech+ Compression Socks. They boast so many new features that our original compression socks did not have and really offer something unique for athletes to get the most out of their training and recovery."
Aensah explains how these news socks offer extra support.
Tech+ Compression Socks by Zensah are made with 200 needle count, making them the most technological and comfortable compression socks available on the market. Zensah® is recognized by runners for utilizing pin-point compression on the compression leg sleeves to target shin splints. By utilizing a 200 needle count with the Tech+ compression socks, the socks now include targeted muscle support to help prevent injuries and speed up recovery.
Who else can benefit from these socks.
I would say someone with Achilles problems needs to try these right away. The Zensah ultra-zone ribbing will help stabilize the ankle and prevent plantar fasciitis. The cushioned sole adds a ittle support and as you might expect with a quality sock from Zensah, it helps prevent blisters and chafing.
Run (and I'm using the word "run" for a reason) out and get your pair of Tech+ Compression Socks from Zensah. While you are out, check out their arm sleeves as well.
I'm a believer.
Tech+ Compression Socks are sold in specialty stores across the country and available in eight bright colors.

"Disguised as objective information based on recent research," said CSPI alcohol policies project director George Hacker, "the Institute's propaganda spreads the deceptive and potentially dangerous message that moderate drinking -- especially moderate wine consumption -- is an important factor in maintaining all-around good health for the general public."
The CSPI report, Vintage Deception: The Wine Institute's Manipulation of Scientific Research to Promote Wine Consumption, acknowledges that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease for some individuals, but criticizes the Wine Institute's promotion of other, less conclusive findings. It exposes how the Wine Institute manipulates research evidence to highlight reasons to drink, but fails to report evidence of alcohol's ill effects.
"There is no health magic in wine," said Sheila B. Blume, M.D., addiction psychiatrist and former New York State Commissioner on Alcoholism. "I would never recommend that anyone begin drinking because alcohol has many destructive health effects. Physicians simply cannot predict with any certainty who will become a problem drinker."
The CSPI report urges health professionals, government officials, journalists, and the public to scrutinize the Wine Institute's commercial propaganda carefully and skeptically.
CSPI examined a year's worth of Wine Institute publications and found numerous exaggerated and one-sided claims about the health effects of alcohol and, particularly, wine. The analysis found that the Wine Institute relied on an unpublished laboratory study to suggest benefits to humans from chemicals in wine and regularly omitted the cautions and qualifications about alcohol consumption made by researchers whose findings it cites. The Institute failed completely to mention the many health risks of "moderate" or heavy alcohol consumption.
"Twisting the findings of scientific research to convince consumers that they should drink for their health may help sell more wine," said Hacker, who co-authored the report. "However, increasing alcohol consumption will increase rates of alcohol problems, even if some older adults cut their risk of coronary heart disease.
"Not everyone will benefit from moderate alcohol consumption; for many, their risks of alcohol problems will rise, even if they drink moderately. Furthermore, there are healthier ways to achieve similar cardiovascular benefits -- like exercising, eating a better diet, and quitting smoking."
In France, often touted by the wine industry as a model wine-drinking society, high wine consumption translates into severe levels of alcohol problems. The rate of coronary heart disease may be relatively low, but deaths from alcohol-related digestive diseases and cancers, as well as unintentional injuries, are excessive, recently estimated at nearly 25% of all premature mortality. Official government policy in France, as in the United States, calls for reductions in alcohol consumption.
In the United States, alcohol is the third-leading cause of premature death; its use and abuse result in more than 100,000 deaths annually and impose more than $100 billion in economic damage on society.
The CSPI report provides a detailed, side-by-side comparison between numerous Wine Institute statements on several research topics and contradictory or qualifying references from the actual studies. It notes clarifying comments from the studies' authors and cites health advice on alcohol offered by government and private health agencies, whose reports the Wine Institute has ignored or distorted. The report covers Institute communications concerning wine consumption and women's health, the alleged cancer-fighting potential of wine, overall health effects, and the alleged health benefits of wine over other types of alcoholic beverages.
Journalists: Copies of the full report are available from CSPI. Call (202) 332-9110, ext. 385.
CSPI is a nonprofit health-advocacy organization that focuses on alcoholic-beverage problems, nutrition, and food safety. It is based in Washington, D.C., and is supported by foundation grants and the one million subscribers to its Nutrition Action Healthletter. It does not accept industry or government funding. CSPI led efforts to win passage of the law requiring warning labels on alcoholic beverages and has halted several deceptive marketing campaigns for alcoholic beverages.
The wine industry's message overstates the case for wine and spreads potentially dangerous advice that could lead to higher alcohol consumption, with correspondingly higher levels of alcohol problems. Although moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with a reduced risk for heart disease for some people, alcohol does not benefit all people and certain individuals should avoid it altogether.
An analysis of Wine Institute publications, including recent Newsflashes, Research News Bulletins, Special Media Advisories, and its website, found that the Institute has:

The market is having a fine day. Every single market sector is trading up in aggregate today, with the vast majority of stocks showing black ink.
As part of this general market joy, 19 of the 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) components also traded up as of 2 p.m. EDT. But there's an interesting wrinkle to the positive Dow trend.
In the thick of this year's third earnings season, no fewer than six Dow stocks reported results this morning. Of these six reports, five triggered a downward move in the reporting stock, Tuesday's market euphoria withstanding.
Leading the downward charge, shares of Travelers (NYSE:TRV) fell by 4% on a double whammy: The insurer's earnings per share fell 19% year over year due to large catastrophe losses caused by hail and windstorms during the spring. Travelers was also hit with a court order to cover more than $500 million of asbestos claims in a case with roots dating to the 1980s.
Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) shares weren't far behind, falling 3% on deeply disappointing earnings. Coke's sales volumes chugged along just fine in the second quarter, but average sale prices declined and diet sodas are going out of style.
Most of the other early morning reports unleashed far milder share price drops. And then there's a single Dow fish swimming upstream.
Verizon (NYSE:VZ) shares followed the general market tenor more than the trend among results-reporting Dow components. Not far, mind you -- Verizon was up a piddling 0.5%, in line with the Dow's total value change. Of course, Verizon's earnings surprise wasn't huge, but simply meeting expectations was enough to make this report stand out from the crowd today.
Verizon also stands out for another reason: This stock is not riding any overall telecom market surge, either. Fellow Dow member and telephony giant AT&T (NYSE:T) was down ever so slightly.
So Verizon is definitely an odd duck among the 30 Dow components today. The stock is swimming against every trend I can come up with, both positive and negative.
Big Red added 1.4 million wireless subscribers in the second quarter, and all of them fell in the lucrative postpaid contract category. On the wireline side, strong growth in the FiOS fiber-optic services category made up for the never-ending hemorrhaging of wired phone subscribers hanging up on Verizon.
These puts and takes resulted in 0.3% year-over-year wireline revenue growth -- not much, but it's the first uptick Verizon's landline division has seen since 2007.
So why isn't AT&T tagging along for a positive ride? Verizon's coattails should be spacious enough for another rider.
Well, 1.4 million subscriber additions is nothing to sneeze at. Verizon snared just 540,000 postpaid customers in the first quarter, falling behind AT&T. Ma Bell herself only expects to bag 800,000 new postpaid accounts the second quarter. We'll hear all about that when AT&T reports its own results tomorrow morning, but Verizon's strong showing might signal shifting market shares.
So that's how Verizon followed the overall market upward today, without taking AT&T along for the ride.
As for the rest of the Dow, it's a little premature to panic over a handful of disappointing reports. There are six more blue-chip earnings reports to come this week. I would suggest keeping an eye on these reports before jumping to any conclusions about the health of the American economy or large-cap stocks. Let me help: Click here to add this week's pending Dow reports to your Foolish watchlist, or here to keep an eye on the entire blue-chip index.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Jaicee Harris had 20 kills and 10 digs to lead the Washington State volleyball team (10-8, 0-6 Pac-12) but the Cougars fell to Utah (10-9, 1-5) in scores of 26-24, 27-29, 25-20, and 27-25 Saturday night at Crimson Court in Salt Lake City.
In addition to Harris' double-double, WSU players Rachel Todorovich (senior, Walla Walla) and Ver'Leea Hardaway (sophomore, Mission Viejo, Calif.) had career-high kill totals. Todorovich tallied 19 kills and hit .357 while Hardaway had 10 kills and hit .421. Marcelina Glab had nine kills and four blocks. Camryn Irwin set up 56 assists and had three blocks while Maile Scarpino and Kate Sommer combined for another 27 digs.
Chelsey Schofield led the Utes with 20 kills as Morgan Odale added 18 kills and 10 digs. Bailey Bateman led the match with seven blocks with Shelby Dalton adding six blocks and Erin Redd tagged five blocks and 10 kills. Utah out-blocked WSU 14.5 to 6. Kendall Cygan and McKenzie Odale had 58 assists.
"Making errors at crucial times and not being able to close it out is really costing us right now," Cougar Head Coach Jen Greeny said. "I thought we played better tonight all around and we served pretty tough. We couldn't get our blocking going. They run a pretty fast offense and our timing was a little bit off but overall I thought it was much better than last night."
Utah scored five points in a row in the opening set to trade a nine-all tie for a 14-9 lead. WSU battled back to come within two, down 19-17 and again at 23-21. Todorovich landed one of her six kills in the set on Utah's first set point and Maile Scarpino was credited with a kill on the second set point to put Cougars at 23 to Utah's 24. On the third set point the Utes were called for a lift to tie the score at 24. Schofield's seventh kill of the set put the Utes serving for the fourth time for set. Odale drilled on down the line and the home team captured the 26-24 win. The Utes hit .371 while WSU hit .303 in the set.
The second set had a total of 13 ties including at 22 points when WSU came back from a pair of points down, scoring on kills from Hardaway and Todorovich. Schofield and Todorovich traded kills to knot the set at 23. On the next play Utah was called in the net putting the Cougars up 24-23. After a timeout Utah came out and scored to tie the set at 24. Harris landed an attack but on the next play Bateman's kill tied it at 25. Utah put up a triple block of Glab to go ahead 26-25 and Greeny took a timeout. Harris's tip tied the set at 26 and then landed a cross court kill for a 27-26 advantage. Odale evened the match at 27. Irwin dumped a ball for a 28-27 Cougars lead. Todorovich's well-place tip ended the set with WSU winning 29-27. Harris and Todorovich each landed seven kills in the set at the Cougars hit .341 and Utah hit .378.
WSU trailed early but battled back with a five-point run but then gave up five consecutive to Utah, 14-9. WSU battled back to close the gap at 23-20 but the Utes, hitting .353, prevailed, 25-20. WSU hit .103 in the set and continued to be dominated by Utah's blocking.
The fourth set moved from an 11-all tie to WSU leading 23-17. Stephanie Logan's kill put the Cougars serving for set point but the Utes kept battling, scoring five straight to tie the score at 24. Harris landed a kill to put WSU serving the sixth time for set point but Utah tied it up at 25. Redd tallied back-to-back kills to hand the Utes the set 27-25 and their first Pac-12 victory of the season.
"I don't thing Rachel played real well last night and so she bounced back and I'm really proud of her resiliency. Hitting .357, we really can't ask for too much more out of her," Greeny said.
WSU travels again next weekend to play No.2 Oregon (14-1, 5-1) in Eugene Friday, Oct. 12 and then takes on Oregon State (12-5, 2-3 pending 10/7 vs. No. 7 Stanford) in Corvallis Sunday, Oct. 14.

One night she happened to be watching a James Bond movie when a close-up of a shark flashed onto the screen. "I came unglued, blubbering and crying," she recalls. After extreme trauma, memories combine in odd ways to produce flashbacks that are even more vivid than reality. Glenn never actually saw the teeth of the shark that attacked her. But in her flashbacks, she saw an open mouth coming at her bristling with teeth.
People who have not experienced flashbacks tend to underestimate their power. They aren't just annoying memories. A true flashback is an all-out assault on the emotional system that takes control of your senses and your behavior and can wipe your memory as clean as electroshock therapy does. One veteran of the Vietnam War came out of a flashback standing in a forest in Ohio wearing battle fatigues. He had no notion of how he'd gotten there. Glenn had similar experiences. In one case, she started out sitting in a restaurant waiting to pick up a pizza and later found herself curled up in a ball on the floorboard of her truck with no memory of what had happened in between.
This new and fearful Micki drove her absolutely crazy. Glenn had reveled in her life and in her fearlessness. What sort of woman goes diving with sharks for her vacation? One who is not afraid. "The things I did, such as stepping off the Okaloosa Island Pier into an 18-foot crest in a hurricane surge, galloping my big Swedish Warmblood horse, Gent, in the woods around Eglin Air Force Reservation at night and watching the tracers from the gunships that were doing night ops—those aren't just things I do," she says. "That's who I am."
But after the shark attack, Glenn felt as if she'd been cloven into two identities: "The Micki I loved was loud and clear in my head. But the new Micki—injured, careful, timid—emerged as the dominant me, and to my dismay she controlled my actions, my body."
One of the things bedeviling Glenn had to do with a certain type of memory we store. At the simplest level, these "mental models" are representations of objects that allow you to identify things quickly and to know the rules by which they behave. That's a bunny. It hops away when I enter the yard. That's a bird. It flies away.
The retina sends images to the visual cortex, which makes a prediction about what is being seen and forwards it to the thalamus. The thalamus returns a message telling the difference between the actual visual information and the prediction. The part that's correctly predicted is ignored. Whatever is new then serves to revise the mental model for future use.
The emotional system labels our mental models so that we instantly know their value or danger. You don't really see what's in the environment; you take in sensory information and try to match it to what you expect based on experience or some innate model. Extreme trauma, however, can destroy your trust in your mental models. This condition is known as hypervigilance, and it makes sense. A Vietnam War veteran told a researcher he had to look at everything twice to be sure of what it was. Since mental models are the heart of all perception, distrusting them makes you question your entire world, and this can be the source of much pain.
To a young child, a pile of clothes in the corner of a dark bedroom might look like the face of a monster. A shadow might be a terrifying bird. Those are perfectly reasonable interpretations to a brain that has few mental models—especially at night, when children are instinctively on the lookout for whatever is dangerous. In that sense, post-traumatic stress can make us behave as if we were children again. And like a child, Glenn was now afraid of images of sharks.
Her husband had an idea about fixing that. He had managed to photograph the shark just before it attacked her. Now he put a close-up of that image on her computer. Her screen saver became the monster from the deep that stole her life away.

In the month of June, E3 brought us many exciting game announcements, including a new entry in the Assassin's Creed series. Gamers concerned with social justice were quick to notice that the trailer for Assassin's Creed: Unity did not feature any playable female characters. When Ubisoft confirmed that gamers would not be able to play as a female assassin in the upcoming game, they were met with accusations of sexism and misogyny.
Every Assassin's Creed game since 2010 has featured female assassins in multiplayer mode, and Assassin's Creed III: Liberation starred a female protagonist, so the decision to not include female assassins in the next-gen Assassin's Creed appeared to be a step backwards to many gamers.
The creative director of Ubisoft, Alex Amancio, stated in an interview with Polygon magazine that Ubisoft was unable to include female characters because of production costs, claiming that including female characters would require "double" the amount of voices, animations, and visual assets. A popular quote from this interview is that "8,000 extra animations" would have been required to add the female characters to the game.
These statements were met with skepticism, as many gamers and members of the game industry suspected that Ubisoft was grossly exaggerating about how much extra work it takes to include a female character into a game. Ubisoft responded by providing further explanation for why they chose not to include female avatars in the game:
"The common denominator was Arno. It's not like we could cut our main character, so the only logical option, the only option we had, was to cut the female avatar."
Regardless of whether or not Ubisoft was exaggerating about how many extra animations they would need to include female characters, it is understandable that they have designed the experience to revolve around a specific character with a specific identity, and that allowing the player to change that character's gender would dilute the narrative they are trying to deliver.
Ubisoft's previous track record should be enough to dispel any notion that they have sexist game design philosophies; many Assassin's Creed games have featured multiple empowered female characters. "Sexism" and "misogyny" are serious accusations that should be reserved for truly distasteful games, not a series such as Assassin's Creed.
Some games, such as the Sims, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Skyrim, are about the player crafting their own character and telling their own story. In these games, it is reasonable for developers to allow for diverse avatar creation, or a wide breadth of playable characters. However, other video games are about a specific narrative revolving around one character that the developer has created. Developers should not feel the need to go down a checklist and make sure they have included absolutely every gender, race, and sexual orientation in their games; developers should always have compete intellectual control over their characters and narratives, and shouldn't feel obligated to appease absolutely every demographic in existence.

The idea of wrestling outdoors in late January may send a chill up the spines of college wrestlers and fans in most of the country… but not in California, as Cal Poly hosted its first outside dual meet, where Oregon State defeated the Mustangs, 22-12, on the plaza at University Union on the San Luis Obispo, Calif. campus Thursday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, light rain fell on the normally sun-kissed California college community for the first time in 50 days. However, the clouds parted in time for the wrestlers from the two Pac 12 schools to take to the mat in the great outdoors.
Oregon State won six of the ten matches, but the host team kept the team score close through most of the dual meet, knotting the score at 12-12 after seven bouts. However, the Beavers won the last three matches at 141, 149 and 157 pounds to leave with the win. It also helped that Oregon State earned bonus points in two of its victories: Joey Delgado's major decision win at 141, and Taylor Meeks' fall at 197.
With the win, Oregon State is now 9-5 for the season, and 3-0 in the Pac 12, while Cal Poly falls to 3-6 overall and, in Pac 12 competition, 1-2.
Although the final score may not have been to his liking, Cal Poly head wrestling coach Brendan Buckley served up an overall sunny assessment of the dual in the sun.
"The environment was fantastic," said the third-year coach. "I was happy for our guys to wrestle in an environment where there was such excitement. There was a lot of Cal Poly pride present today."
Even though wrestling is normally thought of as an indoor sport, the Cal Poly-Oregon State outdoor dual is not unprecedented. Wrestling matches at the ancient Olympics – as well as at the modern Olympics in the early 1900s – were conducted in the out-of-doors. In addition, a number of schools located where winters tend to be warm and sunny have held mat events outside. "Wrestling With The Devil" – a memoir of Italian immigrant Antonio Russo who wrestled for the Arizona State Sun Devils in the 1960s – describes his participation in a dual meet held on campus under the hot sun.
