The end - how much do you think about it?

Personally, I find myself thinking about death rather often when I'm lying in my bed encompassed by darkness and silence... Sometimes to the extent of horrific feelings that envelop me whilst contemplating various thoughts on what could... Or perhaps could not be after we die. A cold shiver down my spine would be the closest approximation. What I'd like to know, since all of you are like-minded game developers, is how much death "bothers" you? Do you think about it often and if you are a wee-bit older, does that "pressure" get harder on you with passing years or have you settled with reality through religion or some other form of... Uhm, philosophy?
As of my beliefs, I'm an agnostic since I find all stories about gods like outdated fairy tales that people take too seriously (no offense, anyone). The likelihood of something like that is so... Surreal to me. I don't like the inconsistency, "greater plans" and dogmatic nature of not asking questions. That's too much to ask from a rational human being. I am not even certain that something bigger exists in any form, let alone a human-conceived image of god. The truth is, the Universe (and I refer to absoultely everything that "exists" in some way or another) doesn't necessarily have to respond to the same notion of our logical reasoning, perhaps it has nothing even close to the concept of a cause and consequence. The question why does everything exists could be easily counteracted by a "why not?".
Without turning this into a monologue, I was wondering... What do you guys think? Since we all are game developers, we are all very adept at thinking about an end of a project or a game's story/campaign. How do you rationalize the possible end of our existence?
Honestly, death always manages to freak me out. I am not afraid of the unknown as long as there is an unknown besides oblivion. One thing that bogs me down even more is the thought of dying alone, damn, that's messed up.
I apologise if the topic is too grim, I'd just like to hear your thoughts on this. I am a very open person and even though I am agnostic with expressed disbelief in various gods, I would still love to hear everyone's opinion. Maybe you have something in perspective that I do not, who knows?

In the philosophy it lays out, the equivalent to Christian Hell/Purgatory is reincarnation, and the equivalent to Christian Heaven is your oblivion.
It teaches you to go forth and live a good life so that at the end of it you'll be rewarded with the final death instead of being given yet another life. Sinners continue to be reborn until they learn to live a good life, at which point they too are rewarded with Oblivion.
It's interesting to see how one man's ultimate fear can be another's ultimate reward.
I like to contemplate on exactly what the words "I am", "I" or "me" mean. Almost every religion has a concept of the self being more than mind and body - there's usually a 3rd part being the soul/spirit. In my view, the soul/spirit is the magnificence of the universe being concious of it's own existence - a phenomenon that you can ascribe to the universe as a whole instead of defining separate bodies within the universe and ascribing it to those organisms.
I am my body, my mind, and this phenomenon of the universe being self-aware. When my body and mind are gone, this phenomenon, this spirit that I am (and we all are) will still persist - and though it contains none of my memories or knowledge, it is as much a part of "I" as my body/mind are, so even though a large part of "I" will die, this one part of what makes up "me" never will.
A lot of religious comfort comes from this eternity of the soul, and I've found it's possible to internalise those comforts without ever believing in a soul or a god or anything magical.

Think of it this way: You won't be paying taxes anymore!
Ahahah, good one!
@Hodgman - That's a very down to earth approach, but what always captures my imagination is the transition from the living to the dead, no matter what the final actual form is. Specifically, how does it "feel" like, the shutting down. I love Richard Dawkins' quote: "Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Some people find this thought disturbing, I find the reality thrilling."
That's somehow what I feel about this world and our short existence (relative to the age of the cosmos), but still... I can't shake the fear of the actual end, losing my memories and experiences, everything that defines me... The rest is just a shell. Some people would say that fear is good, it's a reminder you're still alive.

People have given it a name and a form, like gods or demons or soul or spirit or magic. Those names only reflect us not the true nature of existence. Some people just give up naming it at all and call it the unknowable, the alpha and the omega, using metaphor instead to describe it but that is just as limited. Ultimately i don't think it matters what we call or name it. We're here at this point in time. Maybe we're the universe made conscious, a giant experiment in free will or maybe were just recordings of a long dead race, played back unaware of our true nature predestined etc... There isn't enough information to make any grand declarations, maybe by design?
As for death? That's hard to say.. one thing is known. If the universe continues after your death (no guarantee it does, this could be a simulation and your the only reason this universe even exist like that twilight zone episode), even after death peoples actions echo on, maybe forever? Just like you are a distant echo of someone who lived millions of years ago and further back of some fish which lived 100s millions of years ago and further back of some star which exploded billions of years ago.. etc.. The long chain of existence, of great improbable actions and impossible outcomes. What more can you ask for?

I think this is the human instinct to find patterns in everything, even meaningless chaos. We are really good at finding patterns, whether they exist or not.
I've lived long enough to know that we arn't just physical beings, there is a another nature to our reality beyond our physical perceptions. Either by intent or acquiescence, it's not as obvious but it's there. I've experienced it in several ways ie information leakage from a future perspective, subtle telepathy, synchronicity, etc.. I think if your open too it, you'll see it or not.. but given the sheer volumes written about it already, throughout history obviously something "other" exist than mere physical reality.
As for death, I imagine the absence of thought - the void. I don't believe we experience anything after we pass. It is quite scary, but also ultimately peaceful. I kind of wish I would get to see what happens after, but I don't see how that would be possible. Plus there is a lot of suffering in the world, and it could get worse... maybe it would be for the best that I will not get to see what happens after.
That is the problem - I am not sure it even makes sense to try to rationalise these things. Spending a lot of thinking about death doesn't help, ultimately it will happen and when it happens you'll either find out what is beyond, or not. In the mean time do the best you can here.
How do you rationalize the possible end of our existence?

Anyways, we can all agree on one thing, we should make the most of what we've got here on this little planet in this huge Universe! My only regret is that I won't see what comes after, since, in my heart, I have been and always will be a Starfleet officer.

People make a big deal of life and death simply because they cant accept the fact of themselves disappear from life. This is why concepts of hell, heaven, and reincarnations are created, as a continuation of our life here. Honestly, I dont know if they exist, nor denying the possibility of their existence. Its just that..if you think about it, our life and all its problems are pretty insignificant to whats going on out there around the Earth and the universe.
So why worry about life? People chase happiness, but they fail to realize that happiness is a state, and like any other states, it is not permanent. You can be happy today but tomorrow you'll probably not so happy. But who gives a fuck because you are only gonna be here for 70 years anyway, and beyond that people will forget who you are. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

Are you serious?
I give a fuck. Because that 70 years is the whole universe for me. I don't give a fuck if it's just a puny fraction of something I will probably never ever experience. And tell those kids in Liberia or someone who is paralyzed from the neck down to give a fuck because they are nothing compared to the whole universe....

Yes, they do. Fenway's capacity is barely 38,000, including all the freak seats and standing-room areas they've jammed into it in the last decade or so. And the team is reasonably good, so they often sell out whole seasons. Getting tickets there is hard.
Yes, they do. I moved here from Boston 5 years ago. My mother's recent visit to see me (she left this morning) was a thinly veiled ploy to see the Red Sox play in Seattle. She arranged her travel dates around game days.
TONS of people from Boston live in Seattle (including myself). We all are born with inherent knowledge of two things: driving and the current state of the Red Sox. These are things people from outside the state never understand about us. If I had money or time, I would go see the Red Sox when they were here. I love them, just like we all do.
they were also in San Diego this weekend. check the Padres blogs for angry fans complaining about the Red Sox nation.
Mariner fans can learn from Red Sox fans. we suck in comparison.
red sox fans are soon to be the new yankees fans.
this week they at both games i went to they were totally fucking rude in the extreme.
stepping in front of little kids who needed to use the toilet. being loud mouthed and obnoxious during most of the game.
one guy in front of me was talking to his little brother about how ichiro looked like he was "taking a dump" everytime he was at bat.
i'm glad we swept those fucking losers.
the red sox are THIS CLOSE to being as hated as the yankees.
don't let that one world series win go to your heads guys. or god will smite you and it'll take another 100 years....
@4: No one can learn anything from Red Sox fans. They are drunken boors with annoying accents.
@3: I've been to Massachusetts, and no one there knows how to drive. The only place in the country where people know how to drive properly is Southern California.
I highly doubt there are as many Boston/New England expats here as people claim. There are TONS of folks from Northern California here, yet you don't see nearly as many opposing fans at Giants or A's games. I hypothesize that many of the fans were brought up as Red Sox fans by their asshole expat parents who didn't have the good sense to teach them to "root, root, root for the home team." (Witness the confused children at Safeco wearing Sox gear and cheering at Mariner hits.)
Also, if Sox fans actually have to fly across the country in order to actually see a game, it might be time to reconsider the divine status of Fenway. Look, I know classic baseball fields are great and all -- really, I love them -- but if you can't fit anyone in them, their finer points are somewhat moot.
Finally: the Sox are a decent team this year, but no one should let the current weakness of the AL East delude them into thinking the Sox are somehow destined for the World Series.
Boston is the passive aggressive capital of the country. Bostonians come here for just slightly less passive aggressiveness and better driving. Perhaps they can regale us with their stories of the Big Dig if Vinnie Chestnut in City Hall gets his way on the unfunded tunnel (or is his son drawing up plans for a casino to pay for it?).
The fans are the worst thing about the Red Sox. Say what you will about the Yankees, but New York is one of the greatest cities in the world. Boston just sucks. Sorry.
Maybe you got lucky at previous Red Sox series. Throughout my experience, the Bosox fans, thousands of them, have swarmed every Mariners series in Seattle, and they're so obnoxious that several of my friends make it a point not to go to see Red Sox series.
As for where they come from, no, they don't fly from Boston just to see the Sox in Seattle. Allegedly a lot of Chowds from Boston have moved here over time, just like fans of other teams move here from their respective cities, and they come out to support their hometown teams when they come to Safeco. Unlike the Yankees and, heh, the Red Sox, the Mariners don't have a strong fan base that snaps up every available ticket and prevents the Chowds from coming in en masse to cheer on the Bosox.
@7, you couldn't be any further off... seattle has the lock on passive aggressiveness in this country.
you could make a claim that bostonians are obnoxious but, well, it's just so darn hard to come across as humble when you actually *are* better than everyone else.
as for the games at safeco, red sox nation shows up in force for the *actual ball game*. if that's too much for you milquetoast mariners fans, then don't go to our games!
save your money and get tickets when the royals are in town. then you can eat your ichirolls and shishkaberries in peace and cheer on your favorite hydro because you just know it's due for a win because last time it was totally robbed by the orca that jumped out at the last minute that you never saw coming but you cheered anyway because that was just so much fun.
Terry, Red Sox fans HAVE become Yankees fans. In fact, they're worse. The Yankees have won, what, 20 WS titles in the last 80 years? So I can understand if they have some sort of superiority thing going. But Red Sox fans have won 1 in the same time frame. Otherwise, they've basically been losers since they gave up on Babe Ruth.
I can appreciate the New England tourists who visit (I can't think of a better baseball city to visit in the summer). But it is the Red Sox nation, JimEd, who have become the true douchebags.
They must've all passed their exit on I-90 and went too far. Way too far.
It's fun to watch them when the Sox are losing. They take it so personally.
I can't think of a better baseball city to visit in the summer.
Take some time off and visit Pac Bell/SBC/AT&T/ Whatever phone company park in San Francisco. SOOOOOOOOOOO much nicer than Safeco. And near three rail lines!
Oh and it's also nice to know that the tax payers paid nothing for Giant's stadium.
Ya sure, those Red Soxers are obnoxious, not nice like us here! And they are too passive, too! And they have a bad city because their fans come out here! YA, there tooooo dedicated! Settle down there ya know! Ya, that Fenway, it's so old , guess they don't know how to subsidize a modern stadium like we do, yah!
Giants fans may have a nice park, but they are about as disconnected and disinterested in the actual game as L.A. fans... unless, of course, Barry Bonds is batting.
@14/15: #17 nailed it. Public subsides & public transit mean nothing when your team is terrible and the only draw is the biggest bonehead in the game.
Also, I happen to think Sound Transit service to M's games are pretty good. Secondly, the weather in the Bay Area come July/August isn't nearly as nice as in Seattle. In fact, it's pretty much the same weather as the rest of the year.
Vegetable Lasagna? Hey, nice West Coast handle. Your parents bring you up in a lean-to? Let me guess: Near Cougar Mountain...before it was clear-cut and gentrified. Right On. Musta been pretty.
Anyways, I couldn't disagree with you more regarding your claims about Boston. I know, since I'm from there, that: 1) Bostonians are not passive-agressive, you knucklehead -- Seattle has to be the world capital of Friendships Of Convenience and, 2) (Your Seattle friends - no doubt all turned instant bailers once they take a pull off their hand-blown glass bongs when really they should have been shaving and showering and getting ready to come meet you at some awesome bar, maaaaaaan -- are probably wincing right now, knowing what you opened Seattle up to the reminder that) You guys can't even extend a fucking monorail! Let alone dig a single tunnel. I'm sure that, ironically, it still somehow puts proof in the pudding that yes this is! the forward-thinking Emerald City with a "Green Mayor" that we all hear about. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
In Seattle, no one ever tells you you're wrong because they're too concerned that you might cry or smile and tell everyone else what a dick you are, but still call you to hang out on the same convenient as ever schedule. Sounds like a good time. I should try that. Is it fun? Bostonians tend to be unsophisticated, so it might be too hard for me.
So, I gotta get going. This Red Sox Fan will request, without your solicitation (which would undoubtedly require from you the most falsely-enthusiastic encouragement and acceptance as you solicit), that you thank your underappreciated Seattle Mariners for playing a great series at an important time. Sure beats last season's road trip to Anaheim and points AL West.
And thank the decent and respectable core of your fans for somehow being able to make the other 50% of M's "fans" at Safeco stop vogue-ing in whatever the myri-fuckin-ad of retarded forms for long enough to help cheer and drown out the Sox fans this year more than ever.
At least there's that.
Christ, imagine if Ken Griffey was a Bosock? Putting the Hydros under the Baseball Hats couldn't take the unheartfeltness out of that Right On.
Well, gotta run. On my way to Seatac. Guess what I was doing on my vacation?
I also enjoyed Pike's Market and the horse carriage thing. Kind of folksy that horses and cars share the road. If I saw that in Boston, it'd probably be beause I was simultaneously getting billy clubbed.
It's a long flight back to Beantown. I hope I'm sitting next to a Packers fan who's planning his late Fall vacation which likely includes a Packers away game.
In parting, perfect time to ask: What in the fuck is Field Roast?
@19: It's the fucking Pike Place Market, not "Pike's Market." It was not founded by Dennis Pike. It is on Pike Street. Get a fucking clue.
@20: OMG! what a *burn*! dennis pike... ha! you really schooled 'em...
Saw two out of the three games in our SWEEP of the Red Sox. I have always found their fans to be overly obnoxious. The only difference between them and Yankees fans is that the Yanks actually win more than once a century. They both spend buckets of money, the Yanks just spend it better.
Damn it was fun watching them lose...
"which begs the question"
This is deprecated usage. Go with "raises the question." Question begging refers to assuming your conclusions. Writers for The Stranger may be leading our descent into moral decay, but must you sodomize the English language along the way?
Sox are winning, and it's June.
The Sox aren't winning here--they have lost eight in a row in Seattle.
#25 Because they don't have Pedro anymore. If I remember right, the M's batting average against Martinez was below .100.
Sox@Fenway tix seem to sell out even before they go on sale. Hell, it was easier for me to buy tix to The Police at Fenway this summer.
A good friend came to town last summer who is a huge baseball fan and always wanted to see a game in Fenway. A week before she got here, she suggested I could pick up some tix to a game. When I stopped laughing, I sucked it up and plunked down $300 for bleacher seats on eBay to make her happy. At least it was only a minor game. So in the end, it may be more cost-effective to travel to see them.
Watching your average M's game is like watching golf... I'm glad Griffey and Co. saved baseball in Seattle, and that we have a great ballpark now, but this town has always been very fair weather about their team. Fenway is packed when the team is losing too, and always has been. Not so at Safeco. It's only when the Sox or Yanks come to town and actually, you know, watch the game and root for their team that you EVER hear M's fans getting into it and hollering for their boys. I went to just one of the games this week, and the overall energy from BOTH Sox and M's fans was better than any game I've been to in Seattle in a long time.
Of course there are some drunk assholes at the games.. they do serve beer. Sorry your sensitive northwest sensibilities were offended. It's BASEBALL, not a town meeting. Get over yourselves, get into the game, or stay home and watch on TV.
I'm a Sox fan, and I pull for the M's unless Boston's in town. Jesus, you guys debate this stuff like it's national politics... It's a ballgame folks. Congrats to the M's this time; hope we meet in the playoffs!
Wow, so much animosity for us Sox fans! I had a great time yesterday, despite the loss - and I actually noticed that there were a lot fewer Sox fans than normal.
What you really gotta love is the Yankees fans who seem to come out only to frown and make sure we all know how much Boston sucks. The day I found out Derek Jeter and I had the same birthday was a dark, dark day . . .
Also, we don't have a lock on obnoxious behavior. There was at least 1 M's fan loudly heckling and berating John Papelbon as he warmed up in the bullpen yesterday, as there was last time I saw the Sox here, last year.
But yes, I truly appreciate that I can walk up to the ticket window on the day of a game and see my favorite team play baseball. I could not do that in Boston, as has been noted.
Forgot to mention that everyone should see a Sox/Yanks game in the Bronx. Now, that's a great experience and really how obnoxious Sox fans should be treated.
I went to school in Boston, and Bostonians are majorly passive-agressive and incredibly rude to people who didn't grow up there. Plus, they rival Rome for the worst drivers, not even stopping at red lights. On the other hand, there are somehting like 50,000 students. New Yorkers though manage to be awesome and tell it like it is. So, suck it Bostonians. And, yeah, Cougar Mountain and Issaquah generally are a pretty depressing. If a cougar or coyote is in your backyard because you've built your house in its habitat, your bad and suck it up suburban douchebag.
This is so cute! Just like a bunch of teenage girls debating Paris Hilton.
It's Baseball........
28 and 29
I appreciate your posts. There are many Red Sox fans I like and attend games with. What I don't like are sanctimonious fans, be they from Boston, NY, the UW, or the Seattle Monorail Project.
I will say that having spent time in Chicago and Boston that it is very difficult to get a ticket. Most of the games are attended by corporate types and well-to-do white males. One of the things I like best about M's crowds is the gender balance and the abundance of cheap seats for us working stiffs.
Not hard to figure this one out: ESPN is the BoSox's biggest booster. Um, Peter Gammons, y'all?
Thus, if you watch ESPN and your home team is kinda boring -- I.E., THE MARINERS -- you subconsciously root for the BoSox.
This subconscious urge is amplified if you're a teen-raping, drunk Irish idiot with an accent that makes you sound like you've got a dick in your mouth.
Ya Boston sucks so much.
Real public transportation and a commuter rail network, gay marriage, no republicans, two of the best universities in the world, etc. What a redneck backwater of horrible uncultured people.
No republicans? Who keeps electing thir governors?
I have on occasion actually enjoyed watching the Bosox play - most particularly in 1986. I'll never forget Bill Buckner, he of the three balls...

This week's Sheket Bavakasha! (that's STFU when spat out by an angry Hebrew school teacher) goes to State Senator Margarita Prentice. Prentice is still pushing for a subsidy for the Sonics even though the idea was already killed by the legislature in 2005 and 2006.
Reporter Chris McGann has the story in yesterday's PI.
The story ends with this bit of wisdom from the incorrigible Prentice:
For those who complain that millionaires would end up the being recipients of public dollars:
"Poor people don't buy teams," she said.
And poor people can't afford to go see the teams play either. Sheeesh. !שקט בבקשה

Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act
Bill C-28, the Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act (FISA), is Canada's anti-spam legislation that received Royal Assent on December 15, 2010.[1] The bill replaced Bill C-27, the Electronic Commerce Protection Act (ECPA), which was passed by the House of Commons, but died due to the prorogation of the second session of the 40th Canadian Parliament on December 30, 2009. The Act went into effect July 1, 2014.
The Act will apply to "all communications sent by Canadian companies, to Canadian companies or messages simply routed through Canadian servers".[2] This includes personalised communications such as email or SMS messages delivering any form of communication, such as text, images, voice or sounds, or technologies not yet available.[3][4]
The Act requires that marketers may only send email to individuals who opt into receiving them.[5] Such consent may be implicit, such as by engaging in a transaction with a company, or by virtue of having one's telephone number or email address listed in a public directory.[6] It is mandatory for senders to enable recipients to opt out of receiving messages. Records collected by marketers via implied consent have a time limit.[7] This act makes it necessary for marketers to send a one-time double opt-in subscription request to all its subscribers whose consent is not been explicitly taken till the date this act came into force. As over the years companies' email lists expand and their consent type and source does not remain clear, most of the companies sent the double opt-in email to all their subscribers once the Act came into force.[8]
An email address is considered private information per PIPEDA, so its use is prohibited if consent has not been granted by the owner of the address.[9] The sender must be able to prove that consent was granted.[10]
The law is enforced by three organizations: the Competition Bureau, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.[11] It includes a "private right of action that will allow Canadian consumers and businesses to take civil action against those who violate the legislation".[12] The CRTC may levy fines of up to $1 million for an individual or $10 million for a business that contravenes the Act.[13] Each violation may result in a fine.[14]
The Act has been criticized by some, such as by David Poellhuber who says "It's not going to change the spam you and I receive in our inboxes"[15] because about 70 per cent of spam originates from botnets operating in other countries, notably Brazil, Russia, and the United States;[16] and by academics who argue that it is unconstitutional.[17][18]

No position group, in my opinion, has a greater gap between starters and backups. This is a pretty easy group to judge, but I'm sure there will still be disagreement. It is Niner Talk after all.
Roster Spots: 4-5
Locks: Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman
Competition:Michael Wilhoite, Dan Skuta, Nathan Stupar, Nick Moody
Possible position change: Darius Fleming
Outlook: We know about the starters. Barring injury, they'll be manning the middle. The competition is the back-ups. I am a fan of Michael Wilhoite. He was fantastic on special teams and he has the size to be able to develop into a playable back-up. Skuta and Stupar will try to make their case on special teams. Skuta has the experience advantage but Stupar will get every opportunity to out play him. Fleming is the wild card. The OLB position is suddenly stacked. Fleming definitely has talent, but his injury finds him a year behind. I think his only shot at the roster is at this position. Moody is a guy that probably needs a year to develop. I would love to see him on the practice squad, similar to Wilhoite's development. He has an outside shot at the roster if he proves to be a ST stud, but he offers the least on the defensive side at this point.

Sir.—I am interested in the study on non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis by Locasciulli and colleagues1 in the AJDC.
Since these investigators previously concluded that hepatitis B might influence the prognosis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia,2 I would like to know the effect of NANB hepatitis.
Despite the fact that Locasciulli and co-workers' six patients had NANB-type hepatitis according to their criteria,1 the immunofluorescence pattern was different in their patients' liver specimens. Was the immunofluorescence pattern related to the histologic diagnosis of the liver? What was their explanation for the rather localized immunofluorescence pattern shown in their Figure? Was the delta antigen looked for in their patients? Did they look for this immunofluorescence pattern in the liver of leukemic patients without evidence of chronic liver disease?
In another previous study,3 these investigators concluded that "there was a significant association between HBV [hepatitis B virus] infection and

We all love animals, and like to do our bit in rescuing those less fortunate than our pampered pets. Lorenzo Borghese is a major pet lover, having launched his amazing line of high end, organic, specially pH balanced-for-pets shampoos, conditioners, spritzes and all the rest (if you haven't tried them, you must – you'll be so glad you did!), and continuously devoting his life to helping those animals in dire need.
Animal Aid USA is holding their Amazing Grace "Paint That Bus" campaign/fundraiser. Their fabulous artist, Ellen Strack, will be painting caricatures of your pets on their donated bus in time for the July 11, 2012 Amazing Grace Caravan to Georgia. And our very own Prince Lorenzo Borghese will be at the helm, driving the bus and leading the caravan!
The bus was generously donated to the MOMS Rescue and Animal Aid USA, by Steve Dash of the Humane Society of Atlantic County.
All you have to do to get a picture of your beloved pet on the bus is to donate $50 (way less than we usually spend on a night out), and email the picture you'd like on the bus.

This fits perfectly in girl/girl shelves, orgy shelves, theme (nurse) shelves, and also appeals to lingerie fans. Go heavy on your order and spread them around the store.
The costume director must have gone to an incredible white sale to dress up the 75 women in this all-girl treat. The title and put-together box cover may be slightly misleading: This is NOT one big orgy; rather, it is a well-connected collection of smaller groupings, with perhaps a dozen or fewer participants at the most - and more often less than half that number at any given time. But so what? With the vast number of performers, the action is continuous. There are new and familiar faces, everyone gives their all, and it works quite well.
This is also a very vocal product. A raging thunderstorm can be heard in the distance and fits in as the girls talk and moan and groan with barely a break or pause. Basically, they use toys, tongues, and fingers on each other. (Well, Mila did take it one step further - no surprise - and can be seen doing herself with a telephone receiver.) The hospital set(s) are realistic with action taking place in hospital beds and nurse stations.


text: Notary Bulletin Recorder's Association Issues List Of 10 Most Common Notary Errors By Kelle Clarke on September 20, 2012 in Notary News County recorders rely on valid notarizations in order to accept most documents into their official records, but documents are routinely submitted with improperly or illegibly completed certificates. When a notarization is not completed properly, the error often will cause lengthy delays or result in the rejection of a document, which can be "financially, procedurally and often emotionally devastating to all those involved," according to an open letter from the County Recorder's Association of California. As a public service aimed at improving the notarization process, the Association has issued a top 10 list of the most common Notary mistakes that can cause documents to be rejected for recording. Much of the list is applicable for notarizations nationwide. Notary seal is not photographically legible, is stamped over printed materials, or is missing from the document Title of officer taking acknowledgment is missing (example: the words "Notary Public" are not printed after the name of the Notary) Notaries Public are using outdated forms (Not in compliance with California Civil Code requirements) Signature and/or notarization is not original Venue is improperly completed or missing Names listed on the acknowledgment forms are misspelled or do not match what is listed on the document (example: "John William Jones" is listed on the document, but "John Jones" is listed on the acknowledgement form) Expiration date is missing from the Notary seal (some states require the expiration date) Notaries Public attaching wrong notary certificates to documents (example: acknowledgment attached to affidavits instead of verification or verification attached to Deeds instead of an acknowledgement) Names of party or Notary are entered on the incorrect line (example: signer is identified as Notary and Notary's name where the signer's name should be written) Alterations made to acknowledgment using correction fluid or other means that would cause suspicion Questions about the notarization standards of your state can be addressed to the NNA Hotline. Kelle Clarke is a Contributing Editor with the National Notary Association. Email Share 4 Comments Add your commentJack Crawford16 Apr 2015RE: #6 - I can understand why that would be rejected since "William" is missing on the acknowledgement. However, I had a document rejected because the document listed John W. Jones; the signers ID listed John William Jones which I then listed on the acknowledgement. Using the 'Less, but Not More' rule (the document can contain less information than the ID, but not more) this should have been perfectly acceptable. Essentially, the purpose of notarizing a document is for the notary to verify the identity of the signer since the signer cannot appear before the person or agency in person. Rejecting my notarization raises this question: If John William Jones appeared before the County Recorder with a document that listed John W. Jones and a California driver license that listed John William Jones, would the County Recorder reject the document because the name on the document and the name on the ID did not match exactly?Jack Crawford16 Apr 2015RE: #8 - What is a "verification"? Typically I see "jurat" wording on affidavits, although earlier this week I notarized an affidavit that had currently correct California Acknowledgement wording on the document.Maria Beamer17 Apr 2015Excellent as alwaysrosita c. hailey04 Nov 2015When adding a new seal, I always, have drawn a line through the old one and initial.

This Week
New 401(k) Limits
The IRS on Thursday announced many inflation adjustments for 2013. Among them: The limit on employee contributions to 401(k) retirement plans rises to $17,500 from $17,000, and the annual gift tax exclusion rises to $14,000 from $13,000. The IRS is waiting for Congress to act before adjusting tax brackets for 2013.
In the Black...Barely
Stocks squeaked out a gain despite a late-week plunge. The Dow Jones Industrials fell 1.5% on Friday to 13343, their largest drop since June, as Microsoft MSFT 0.84 % and General Electric GE -0.35 % missed analyst forecasts. The blue-chip index finished the week up 0.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.3% to 3005.62.
529 Picks and Pans
Morningstar announced new ratings for 64 of the largest 529 college-savings plans. Top picks include Alaska's T. Rowe Price TROW 0.35 % College Savings Plan, the Maryland College Investment Plan and Nevada's Vanguard 529 Savings Plan. The investment research firm gave negative ratings to four plans.
Staging a Benefit
Just 56% of workers eligible for employee benefits said they feel confident they'll make the right choices in this year's open-enrollment season, according to a MetLife MET -0.79 % report. The more an employee studies a plan's offerings, the more likely he is to make changes, the report said.
Debt by Degrees
College borrowers who graduated in 2011 owed an average of $26,600 on their student loans, said a report from the Project on Student Debt at the Institute for College Access & Success—a 5.3% increase from 2010. About two-thirds of the 2011 graduates had taken out loans to pay for college.
Real Estate Heats Up
U.S. housing starts increased 15% last month to their highest level since 2008, the Commerce Department said. New construction rose in the West, the South and the Midwest but fell in the Northeast. Mortgage applications, however, fell 4.2% the week ended Oct. 12, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

The Newbie's Guide to using Google Flights to search for the best faresOctober 26, 2015 • By Renee King
Planning trips can be confusing to the inexperienced. But if there is only one thing that you take from this post let it be this: "Booking your flight is the absolute first thing that you must do when planning your vacation." Why? Because airfare will arguably be the most volatile expense that you will incur. The cost of gas (as of this writing) is steadily declining, so airlines are offering fantastic bargains as a result. However, these great fares aren't available for all destinations.
That makes it all the more critical to plan ahead, monitor flight prices, be flexible with your departure dates and destinations as much as possible because some times are better than others.
Once you've decided where you want to go, my suggestion is that you start with "Google Flights". Much like its search engine counterpart, it allows you to search for the best flight deals to any destination.
Here's how it works:
Once you have reached the Google Flights home page, you will see a search box. The first screen will give you the option of selecting a round trip (where you travel to one destination and take a return trip back to where you started), a one way (is just as it sounds, you go to a destination with no plans to return or if you're not exactly sure when you will, you can purchase a return one way ticket at a later date) or you can choose the multi-city option if you are planning on visiting several locations during the course of your vacation.

From the moment you meet David and Kim Stapleton, you realize you've found the right place to stay while visiting this part of Tennessee. Located just outside of Knoxville, Dave and Kim are knowledgeable about the many attractions (and even the area's history) to be found here (Dollyland is close by, for instance). The house itself couldn't be nicer: more than a hundred years with its own rich history, yet complete with all the modern conveniences. Kim and David make you feel right at home, (actually, part of the family), and given its rural setting, there is no better place to relax and be with good people. So put The Minnis House at the top of your list. You will want to stay more than just one night or two, and definitely will want to return.

CUPERTINO, Calif. Ś Amid reports of manufacturing issues that could limit the supply, Apple began selling its newest iPad Miniáon Tuesday, less than two weeks after its latest full-sized iPad debuted in the United States.
The technology giantĺs second attempt at a smaller tablet device Ś the iPad Mini measures 7.9 inches diagonally while the full-sized version checks in at 9.7 inches Ś is the first to include Appleĺs high-definition screen, known as a Retina display. The device appeared on Appleĺs website for saleáTuesdayámorning, joining the recently released iPad Air.
The response to iPad Air has been incredible, and weĺre excited for customers to experience the new iPad mini with Retina display,ö Philip Schiller, Appleĺs senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said in a news release announcing the start of salesáTuesday.
When the Cupertino company announced the new iPad releases on Oct. 22, it did not give a release date for the new iPad Mini as it did for the iPad Air, which launched Nov. 1, instead saying that the smaller tablet would be available later in November. Reports leading up to and after the announcement suggested Appleĺs component suppliers were having issues producing enough of the smaller Retina displays to satisfy expected demand for the product.
Schiller seemed to hint at supply issues in Tuesdayĺs news release, saying, ôWeĺre working hard to get as many as we can in the hands of our customers.ö

News Corp. Unit Told of Hacking in 2007, Ex-Reporter Says
News Corp.'s editors at the News of the World Sunday tabloid discussed phone hacking in daily meetings, a former reporter said, increasing pressure on executives to explain when they became aware of the practice.
Phone hacking was "widely discussed in the daily editorial conference" until "explicit reference to it was banned by the editor," former royal reporter Clive Goodman said in a March 2007 letter to top News International executives that was published by U.K. lawmakers today. News Corp. deputy Chief Operating Officer James Murdoch will probably be recalled to parliament to answer more questions about the allegations at the now-defunct tabloid.
Murdoch told lawmakers last month that he hadn't realized until late 2010 that phone hacking was widespread at the News of the World. That's been contradicted by Tom Crone and Colin Myler, two former executives of the tabloid, who said they informed him in 2008 about an e-mail that suggested more reporters had been involved. The Culture, Media and Sport Committee today examined fresh responses from former employees to explain contradictions in Murdoch's testimony.
"Once he answered questions, he would inevitably seek to blame underlings," said David Corker of the London law firm Corker Binning, who acts for clients implicated in regulatory and criminal investigations. "Now he's facing a welter of new evidence from those underlings."
Deleted Messages
Goodman, who was sentenced for phone hacking in January 2007, said he was promised a job in return for staying quiet.
News Corp. shut the News of the World last month after a report that its journalists deleted messages from a murdered schoolgirl's mobile phone. The tabloid was also accused of hacking into voicemails from terror victims, celebrities, sports athletes and politicians.
"We recognize the seriousness of materials disclosed to the police and parliament and are committed to working in a constructive and open way with all the relevant authorities," News International said today in an e-mailed statement. A management and standards committee set up in July is cooperating fully with the police investigation, the company reiterated.
Goodman once reported on the royal family for News of the World. Les Hinton, then the executive chairman of parent company News International, fired Goodman in February 2007 after he pleaded guilty to hacking for "very serious breach of your obligations as an employee," according to the dismissal letter published today.
Private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who helped Goodman carry out the voicemail interception, was also jailed.
Goodman disputed his dismissal, saying that his hacking was carried out in the knowledge of his superiors at the company and that tapped voicemails were the subject of discussions at editorial meetings.
He said he was promised "on many occasions" that "I could come back to a job at the newspaper if I did not implicate the paper or any of its staff in my mitigation plea" in a letter to News International's former director of human resources Daniel Cloke.
Goodman was ultimately paid 243,503.08 pounds ($399,903.47), in connection with his dismissal and the unfair dismissal claim he filed. About 13,000 pounds went to legal fees, according to James Murdoch's letter to parliament. Mulcaire's lawyers were paid 246,000 pounds as part of an agreement to cover his legal fees, which was formally terminated last month.
Internal Probe
New York-based News Corp. rose 1.1 percent to $17.10 at 3:08 p.m. in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares have fallen about 5 percent since news of the phone-hacking scandal broke July 4.
James Murdoch joined News International as chairman in December 2007, after the alleged hacking took place.
News Corp. hired law firm Harbottle & Lewis to look into Goodman's accusations that hacking was widely known about within the company. The firm looked into six e-mail addresses and found no evidence that their owners participated in hacking, according to correspondence published by parliament.
News Corp. and Harbottle & Lewis, which filed copies of Goodman's letter to parliament, said they were asked to redact some details by the police. Goodman made no submission to the parliamentary committee himself.
Goodman "made allegations that the whole editorial team at the tabloid were involved in discussions around phone hacking at the time that Andy Coulson was the editor of the paper," Labour Party lawmaker Tom Watson said today. "If accurate, the whole foundation of the company's defense for the past three years collapses."
Political Ties
Coulson, who was Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications until he resigned in January over the hacking scandal, was editor of the News of the World from 2003 to 2007. Coulson was arrested this year.
Goodman's March 2 letter to Cloke was also sent to Hinton. Four days later, when asked whether he thought that Goodman was the only one who knew what was going on, Hinton told lawmakers: "I believe he was the only person."
Hinton, who resigned as chief executive officer of News Corp.'s Dow Jones & Co. unit in July, was chairman of News International for 12 years until 2007, giving him a leading role at the U.K. newspaper unit during the time when the alleged hacking took place.
The circumstances surrounding the 2008 payment to victim Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association, were also the focus of many lawmakers' questions to Murdoch.
'For Neville'
Murdoch says he was not told about any further hacking at the company when he approved Taylor's settlement in June 2008 and nothing was discussed that led him to believe that a further investigation was necessary.
Murdoch has said he agreed to the payment -- more than 10 times the record court award in a privacy case at the time -- on advice of outside counsel.
However, Crone, the former News International legal manager, said the company decided to settle after Taylor's lawyer found an e-mail from a junior reporter to Mulcaire, the private investigator at the center of the phone-hacking allegations. The e-mail contained a transcript of Taylor's voicemail messages. The e-mail was marked "for Neville." At the time of the message, the only Neville working at the tabloid was chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck.
Murdoch has said he doesn't recall seeing this letter. Crone said he would have mentioned the letter and may not have shown Murdoch a copy.
Dropped Bid
"He could use what I characterize as the prime ministerial defense" Corker Binning's Corker said. "He could say, 'How can I know everything? I must rely on my advisers.''
Crone and Myler, its one-time editor, are likely to be recalled in September to answer further questions, John Whittingdale, who chairs the committee, said today, adding that James Murdoch would appear after Crone and Myler. The committee won't recall James' father Rupert Murdoch, the chief executive officer of News Corp.
''What is plain is we are receiving accounts that are completely different and contradict each other at various points in a number of areas," Whittingdale said.
As a result of the phone-hacking scandal, News Corp. dropped its 7.8 billion-pound ($12.8 billion) takeover bid for the 61 percent in U.K. pay-TV broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc that it doesn't already own. If Murdoch is found in contempt of parliament, his position as chairman of BSkyB might also be in jeopardy, Damian Collins, one of the lawmakers reviewing the statements today, said in an interview.
After his initial testimony, James Murdoch was supported by the board of BSkyB, which last month unanimously backed him to remain as chairman of the satellite television broadcaster.

SOCIAL CIRCLE - North Georgia offers few better ways to observe fall foliage beauty than a trip to a trout-filled delayed harvest mountain stream. With more than 4,000 miles of trout streams and three species of trout, there are fishing and simultaneous leaf-viewing opportunities closer than you think. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division highlights the five delayed harvest streams available to anglers beginning Nov. 1.
Hello, everyone. Tight Line Jr. here. Ole' Tight Line is taking a little time off, but he will be back with us soon.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - Georgia still holds the coveted title for the world record largemouth - a record that stands after more than 75 years. The impressive catch, lured from Montgomery Lake in 1932, tipped the scales at 22 pounds, 4 ounces. But a world record catch isn't Georgia's only claim to fame - it's the state's diversity of bass that continues to reel in anglers from across the nation.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - The weeklong primitive weapons deer-hunting season begins Saturday. During the primitive weapons season, hunters may use archery equipment (including crossbows), muzzleloading shotguns (20 gauge or larger) and muzzleloading firearms (.44 caliber or larger).
SOCIAL CIRCLE - Part one of a two-part update to Georgia's recreational license and boat registration system is in place.
Poison ivy is a woody vine that creeps across the ground and climbs, sometimes growing branches that look like part of a tree.
Hello friends and fellow fisherman, Ole' Tight Line here. Well the cool weather is always good for fishing so I have a few reports from the coast, Half Moon Marina and Yellow Bluff to share with you.
By Glenn Dowling
Hello friends Ole' Tight Line here. Well the high tides and some strong winds have put a hold on the fishing somewhat, but I do have a couple of reports from Rayburn Goodman at Yellow BLuff and a few from the surrounding coastal areas.
GOLDEN ISLES - The shallow waters off the coast of St. Simons Island are teaming with redfish and trout, a fact that will undoubtedly draw anglers to the 7th Annual Rich Products Golden Isles Red Trout Celebrity Classic set for Oct. 9-11.
TUCSON, Ariz. - First City Club in Savannah played an important role in the world's largest one-day golf and dining event Friday.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - Angler Chad Leonard of Nashville, Georgia (Berrien County) had more than just a great day of fishing on the Alapaha River on Sept. 5 - he managed to catch a new state record. Leonard reeled in a 30-pound, 4-ounce, 56-inch longnose gar, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife
BRUNSWICK - Cooler weather brings back more than fuzzy sweaters and hot cocoa. When temperatures begin to dip it also signals the return of many migratory birds to scenic birding trails such as the Colonial Coast Birding Trail.
Hello everyone Ole' Tight Line here. I'll tell you what, the weather is just getting right for some good fishing. Of course, there is no such thing as a bad fishing day.
More species of salamanders live in Georgia than any other group of amphibians or reptiles. Nevertheless, perhaps because these creatures are shy and silent, most people know little about them. Members of the mole salamander family are specially secretive, primarily living underground and only rising to the surface to breed.

PLOT: Zasshono Academy is a very large private school with a total of 54'000 students from elementary level, to junior high and high school. Among the large number of club activities at the school, one club is quite unique: The Eiken Club. The activities of this club are shrouded in mystery, and strangely enough all the members are excessively busty, headstrong female students, like Shinonome Chiharu, the top scorer in the entrance exam.
The newly arrived high school boy, Mifune Densuke, is forced to join the Eiken Club, and in an instant, his dull life so far turns up-side down, with intense passion, romance and much trouble!
note: To say these girls have big breasts is a HUGE understatement!!
review time!
this ecchi was probrobly my msot favorite ecchi of all time!
the blot is about a boy who really likes this girl, but whenever he is around her something always happens…
the art direction is very nice, there is ncie details in pretty much everything, the only complain i have is the size of breasts the 6th grader had, but that was part of her character as a joke.
this as an ecchi has no sex in it, in fact there is no nudity at all, so if you want to see nipples and such, this is not for you.
even with the lack of sex, there are tons of sexual jokes within this that will tickle your naughty bone in a new way!
even with the lack of nudity and sex, i as a huge breast lover really enjoy this ecchi, the size of them even tho clothed was enough to erouse me, and the jokes made laugh as i watched, even if your not horny for hentai, i recomend a watch of at least one episode just for some giggles and a tease for a future video you plan to watch later.

AbstractThis proposal describes two technical objectives and a detailed work plan to demonstrate the fundamental mechanisms and capability that will enable a new technology base for focused miniature ordnance. The first technical objective is to develop and test a new multiphase blast explosive composition. This addresses the program goal for compact, high-energy-density munitions with a precisely controlled lethality radius. The second technical objective is to demonstrate a scalable, multifunctional kill concept. This addresses the program goal of a warhead capable of producing a predominately forward, focused, fragment field with the additional option for selectable enhanced blast or fragment effects for functional defeat of different target sets. This proposal leverages recent advances in developing a novel class of high-energy-density, modified explosives that are candidates for selectable effects munitions. The baseline composition consists of equal parts of nanometer and micrometer aluminum in a stoichimetric mixture with perfluoropolyether. It has a mass density of 2.1 g/cc and a total energy release of 34 kJ/cc. We will extend this baseline composition to mass densities of 5 g/cc and energy densities of 42 kJ/cc, while exploring innovative initiation schemes to achieve the overall program goals. BENEFIT: Examples of dual-use military and commercial applications, the proposed concept could be used for: (1) low collateral damage explosive defeat of IEDs and VBIEDs for domestic bomb squads or law enforcement operations; (2) novel energetic materials and initiation mechanisms for down-hole perforation operations in the oil production industry; and (3) controlled collateral effects for explosive demolition operations.

The first music pirate stung under new file-sharing laws has
been fined $616 but said they "didn't realise" the actions
were illegal.
The Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) -
which represents music studios - took an unnamed offender to
the Copyright Tribunal last year for sharing songs on the
internet - a track by Barbadian pop star Rihanna on two
occasions and the other by Nashville band Hot Chelle Rae.
In a decision released today, the tribunal found in RIANZ's
favour and ordered the offender (who was a Telecom customer)
to pay a penalty $616.57.
The ruling was the first of its kind under a 2011 copyright
law change that allows rights holders - such as movie studios
or music companies - to issue notices to users believed to be
illegally downloading or uploading copyrighted content.
After a third notice, rights-holders can bring a case before
the tribunal, which can fine an offender up to $15,000.
Although only two songs were involved in this case, RIANZ
sent a second notice about the Rihanna song to the offender
about seven months after the first.
In a submission to the tribunal, the music pirate claimed
ignorance to the illegality of the offending.
"The first song downloaded was a song called Man Down by
Rihanna. I accept responsibility for this. I downloaded the
song unaware that in doing so from this site was illegal,"
the submission said.
However, the offender did not claim responsibility for the
Hot Chelle Rae track.
"It wasn't [downloaded] by myself or anyone in this
household," the submission said.
While the pirate referred only to downloading the songs,
RIANZ claimed the offending was for uploading the music.
This was accepted by the tribunal, which also said it was
possible the pirate only intended to download the music over
the file-sharing network where the offending took place.
The tribunal ordered the pirate to pay the costs of
purchasing the tracks ($6.57), $50 towards the costs RIANZ
inccured for sending the notices and $200 for the cost of
bringing the case to the copyright body.
The offender was also ordered to pay a deterrent sum of $360
($120 per infringement).
