Cool Science (Very Cool) Examines How Ice Storms May Shape the Future of Northern Forests
WOODSTOCK, NH, January 21, 2016 - A team of scientists in New Hampshire succeeded this week in capturing one of nature's most destructive forces – ice – and corralling it in two large research plots on the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. This week, scientists from the USDA Forest Service, Syracuse University, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Cornell University, University of Vermont, and the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation created an experimental ice storm that will improve understanding of short- and long-term effects of ice on northern forests.
Ice storms are a big deal in a changing world. Ice storms are expected to become more frequent and severe in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada as long term climate continues to warm while short term weather patterns still bring blasts of arctic air into the region. Large Ice storms disrupt lives and damage infrastructure in towns and cities in northern New England, resulting in billions of dollars of damage. Ice storms also literally reshape forests. Heavy ice loads break branches and topple whole trees, resulting in reduced tree growth in ensuing years, increased susceptibility to pests and pathogens, changes in habitat for wildlife, and alterations in how nutrients like carbon and nitrogen cycle in the forest.
"Science is critical to our understanding of how climate change may shape forests in the future," said Tony Ferguson, Acting Director of the Northern Research Station and the Forest Products Laboratory. "Creating an ice storm is a very unique experiment that would not be possible without all of our partners and funding from the National Science Foundation."
While ice storms are a powerful force in forests, they are also inherently difficult to study because scientists, like citizens, have little lead time on when and where these storms are going to occur. Scientists at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest are changing that equation, and instead of waiting for the next big storm to hit, they are creating their own artificial ice storms using high-pressure firefighting pumps and hoses to spray water high up into the forest canopy during a cold snap. They are measuring the obvious and immediate downing of limbs and trees, as well as subtler longer term growth responses, interactions with invasive species, and impacts on forest nutrient cycling.
"This research will provide the scientific community, land managers and the concerned public greater insight on the impacts of these powerful, frightening, and curiously aesthetic extreme winter weather events on ecosystem dynamics in northern hardwood forests," said Lindsey Rustad, Team Leader at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and an investigator on the ice storm experiment.
"Ice storms are a great example of extreme weather events with complex outcomes. The experimental ice storm is part of a comprehensive study of ice storms and their effects at Hubbard Brook, which also includes examining forest recovery from a severe ice storm in 1998, developing and applying models to depict the climate conditions that result in ice storms and forest ecosystem effects, and associated outreach and education," said Charles Driscoll, a professor at Syracuse University and investigator for the Hubbard Brook ice storm experiment.
In addition to Rustad and Driscoll, investigators in the experiment include John Campbell and Paul Schaberg of the USDA Forest Service; Katharine Hayhoe of Texas Tech University, and Sarah Garlick of the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation. Partners include Peter Groffman of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Timothy Fahey of Cornell University, and Robert Sanford and Joe Staples of the University of Southern Maine.
The Hubbard Brook Ice Storm Experiment is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (DEB-1457675 - Collaborative Research: Understanding the Impacts of Ice Storms on Forest Ecosystems of the Northeastern United States).
The U.S. Forest Service is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a mission of sustaining the health, diversity and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. The mission of the Forest Service's Northern Research Station is to improve people's lives and help sustain the natural resources in the Northeast and Midwest through leading-edge science and effective information delivery.
The U.S. Forest Service manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world. Public lands the Forest Service manages contribute more than $13 billion to the economy each year through visitor spending alone. Those same lands provide 20 percent of the nation's clean water supply, a value estimated at $7.2 billion per year. The agency has either a direct or indirect role in stewardship of about 80 percent of the 850 million forested acres within the U.S., of which 100 million acres are urban forests where most Americans live.

DOS attack shuts down EVE Online for a day
A DOS attack on Sunday, 3 June caused the moderators of the MMORPGs EVE Online and Dust 514 to shut down the server cluster that hosted both games. The games were offline for most of the day and into the following morning, having just recently been restored. The COO of EVE's parent company, CCP, described the situation this way:
What we can now confirm is that a person was able to utilize a vulnerability in one of the back-end services that support the operation of the Tranquility server. This vulnerability has now been secured and thoroughly tested. We would like to stress that at no time was customer data compromised or accessible in any way. The effort of returning the complex server structure of the EVE Universe and associated websites to service in a methodical and highly-scrutinized fashion began hours ago and Tranquility has now been brought online (at 10:13 UTC). Our teams will monitor the situation carefully in the coming hours to ensure that our services are accessible and that all customer data remains secure.CCP also took the precaution of shutting down the games' websites, and so communicated with players via Twitter ("Your patience has been legendary and appreciated.") and its Facebook page.

The arsonists who stare at goats
The festive season is approaching, so it's time for everyone's favorite giant Swedish straw caprid to suffer from repeated attacks. Already ("The front hoof smells of petrol") this year's goat at Gävle has been attacked. Of the 76 goats to date, 33 have been burnt (includes goats burnt down more than once and goats only partially burnt), 7 vandalised (includes goats thrown in the river), 1 run over and 1 stolen, giving a survival rate of 45%. The goat attracts international attention and attacks; in 2001 a tourist from Cleveland, Ohio was jailed for 18 days [Swedish] [English] for igniting the goat. Last year's goat survived to December 2nd (traumatic video). Gävlebocken is 13 metres tall and consists of 3.6 tonnes of straw. While intact it tweets, and blogs in Swedish and English. [more inside]

Will Israel Attack Iran?
After speaking with many senior Israeli leaders and chiefs of the military and the intelligence, I have come to believe that Israel will indeed strike Iran in 2012. Perhaps in the small and ever-diminishing window that is left, the United States will choose to intervene after all, but here, from the Israeli perspective, there is not much hope for that. Instead there is that peculiar Israeli mixture of fear — rooted in the sense that Israel is dependent on the tacit support of other nations to survive — and tenacity, the fierce conviction, right or wrong, that only the Israelis can ultimately defend themselves.

Super-targeted spear phishing attacks
The recent cyber attacks on pro-Tibet groups in the U.S. (attack details, technical data) and on the Save Darfur Coalition, among others, have managed to catch the attention of some in the mainstream media. Such super-targeted spear phishing attacks have been on the rise for several years, and have become an important tool for corporate espionage and military infiltration attempts. Teaching users to recognize such attack emails is probably the most effective deterrence, as technology solutions have shown to not be particularly effective. Some companies and government agencies even conduct sting operations to ferret out which internal users fail the test, targeting them for additional training. [more inside]

Mom Breaks in Daughter
(M/f, teen, ir, size, virgin)
by Kysa Braswell
Rita Braswell waited for the man to arrive, she had made an important decision about her daughter, Kysa. At age fourteen Kysa was beginning to notice the way men looked at her, looked at her large breasts and her beautiful face. Only 5'0 tall in the 8th grade, Kysa's breasts had sprouted to where she was overflowing a C-cup bra. Her pussy hair had grown thick, though her bush was small, even for a young teenager. One thing Rita found attractive about her daughter was her nipples. The areoles were overly large for a young girl.
Kysa had a million dollar smile that always lit up a room, but Rita was concerned that her daughter couldn't date boys easily because her of deafness. She felt sorry for the girl, knowing it was hard for her to make friends, being unable to either hear or talk properly. And Rita forbade her daughter from trying to speak in public. Despite her attempts with speech coaches to teach Kysa to say words, she could never enunciate anything properly and ended up sounding dumb. So Kysa always carried a notepad on a chain around her neck and wrote down anything that she wanted to say to others. But Rita was not ready to allow her daughter to lag behind other girls in discovering her sexuality. Having been pregnant with Kysa when she was only 19, Rita knew it was important to get an early start. If she couldn't make Kysa socially successful, she was determined to make her daughter sexually successful, but only with a certain type of man - a man who was hung.
"Time to take matters in hand," Rita thought. Rita had always tried to take the long view and now she was about to introduce her little girl to the pleasures of sex. Not just any sex though. Rita had long ago become addicted to black mens' longer, thicker, superior (and preferably uncut) cocks. So much so that while she dated white men, she only considered sex with black men, and of those only the best hung ever knew the intense pleasure of sharing Rita's incredibly fit and toned body.
Rita heard the car pull up outside and moments later led the large black man insides. She had chosen Paul to be her daughter's first lover. Paul was quite well hung at 9.5 inches and quite thick at 7.5 inches. He stood 6'2, and worked out at the same club Rita did. He was an almost perfect physical specimen of the best of slave breeding with his tight, strong buttocks, muscular thighs, broad shoulders, long arms, and very large cock for breeding. Rita thought his big member would give Kysa the type of breaking-in that she needed, and make sure that, like her mother, Kysa would never truly enjoy lesser-hung white men sharing her sweetness.
"Paul, do you realize what I want you to do?" she asked.
"Yes, I'll take it easy on her at first until she's relaxed a little, then I'll really fuck her hard and leave her sore." Paul grinned, "By the way, thanks for this treat Rita. It's not every day I get to bust a little white girl's cherry."
"Yes, but the key is to leave a young girl very sore, so that she remembers her first fuck for the rest of her life. It also serves to put a healthy appreciation of big cocks in her, so that smaller, lesser-endowed men can never bring her pleasure. I'm not going to have my daughter fucking wimps or marrying some limp-dicked noodle who can't satisfy her needs. Not after what she's been through in her short life."
"I'll do my best, and I guarantee I'll be rough enough with her to make sure the little thing both is so sore she can't walk, AND turns into another of Paul's famous nymphettes!"
"Well I don't expect you to have anything left in those big balls of yours after breaking-in Kysa, but I'll thank you properly next time we're together," she said licking her lips slowly.
Rita went to the bedroom and instructed Kysa to remove her clothes and get under the covers. Kysa was crying, not understanding what was happening. She was unaware of Paul's presence and thought she was being put to bed early or about to be spanked again for something she had done. Rita comforted her, explaining that it was time that Kysa became a woman, kissing her daughter's tears as she massaged her breasts, belly, and inner thighs.
Rita returned to the next room where Paul sported a very noticeable bulge in his trousers. Rita helped Paul get undressed, and as always, was never unimpressed by his huge black cock.
Rita asked Paul once again if he was ready. He nodded yes, and she kissed him thankfully for doing such a thoughtful "duty" for her daughter. It's a rare treat that a young girl loses her cherry to a man, but even better when she loses it to a hung black stud like Paul. Rita took Paul by the cock and led him down the hallway and into her daughter's room.
Once Rita and Paul entered her room, and Kysa came face to face with what was going to happen to her, Kysa became extremely nervous. Rita was holding Paul's already immense member, jacking it back and forth, with the uncut foreskin barely revealing the tip of the black head, even at the top of her stroke. Precum dripped steadily from its tip each time the long foreskin was peeled back, signifying the black buck was prepared to fuck the little girl into submission properly. Rita nodded to Paul, released the huge member, allowing it to slap heavily onto his thighs, then removed herself to the corner of the room to watch a precious moment for her daughter unfold.
Paul was trying to relax Kysa; but she was starting to get real shaky. Kysa looked over at her mom, tears flowing hard down her cheeks, but Rita gave no quarter of comfort to her. Paul moved behind her on the bed and began to massage Kysa's shoulders. He knew exactly what he wanted to do, as his hands began roaming elsewhere. He stood behind the young teen, his hands exploring her back and waist, around to my stomach and up to her plump, full breasts! He cupped her breasts; squeezing them with his strong black hands, and pulling Kysa back against him, allowing her to feel his hard member wetting her back as it dripped precum down and into her asscrack.
He held Kysa, facing Rita, fondling her, and grinding himself into her asscheeks! Rita could only watch as Paul's hands moved under Kysa's swollen breasts and sampled her flesh. He was obviously experienced with white girls and seemed to get a lot of pleasure from having mothers witness the way he manipulated their daughters' pleasure. Kysa could feel his fat member swelling behind her as they pushed against each other. It only took a few minutes of his skilled touch to have Kysa totally wet between her thighs.
Paul and Kysa faced each other as Kysa grew bolder by simple female curiosity and rubbed her hands along Paul's long fat, black cockshaft. He stood confidently, pulled Kysa's hand to his lips and kissed it lightly, then slid her fingers down his length; watching her as her touch excited it and made it pulse in her grasp. His black cock was bigger than many Kysa would ever handle, but Rita intended this initiation as a lesson that only hung men can please the Braswell women, and her daughter wasn't about to break that tradition. After Kysa's father died, Rita lamented not being able to enjoy her Norwegian husband, who was amply-endowed at well over 10 inches, which was extremely impressive for a white man. But then, that was one of the major reasons Rita married him.
Paul's penis was so dark; so defined; it looked almost menacing! Paul shifted to the side so that Rita could catch a glimpse of what Kysa was beginning to do to him! Kysa was milking the heavy black cock like a cow's teat, fascinated by all the precum constantly dribbling from its wide tip. She pushed the foreskin back along the shaft, and even at the end of her stroke, his wide cocktip barely poked through the foreskin. Rita was caught by surprise as her young daughter then reached forward with her finger and lifted a dollop of precum on her fingers and tasted it! His cock felt so heavy in her hands, over 9.5 inches long and alarmingly thick, both of Kysa's little hands were unable to grasp the massively thick penis properly.
Paul laid Kysa down as Mom looked on. Paul was very attentive, as his hands rubbed her body and he kissed her belly and breasts. Embracing her, Paul used his fingertips between her legs to arouse and excite Kysa further. Making her body grow hot and excited as he laid down next to her, he pulled her body against his enlarged black organ. Paul unintentionally was smearing his large amounts of precum on Kysa each time their bodies brushed. Parts of her were taking on a "sheen."
Rita was pleased that Paul was taking his time, doing everything to turn Kysa on, to make her vulnerable, and to send the message of what he wanted. The two of them laid on their sides, his strong arms encircling her and holding her in place as he guided his erection between Kysa's legs and deliberately glided the entire length back and forth along her lightly-haired slit. He was using Kysa's excitement along with his unending precum stream to wet his entire length and get Kysa's pussy as slippery as possible, and it felt wonderful to her.
Kysa's back was to Rita, and she wondered what she felt as she watched Paul's lengthy manhood poking in and out from between her daughter's legs, looking as if she had grown an 8-inch black cock! His rhythm grew stronger and Kysa could feel him swelling even harder. He moved to kneel beside her face and made the young girl's lips feel the hotness of his manhood. He was creative; shifting his position, to provide a display for mom. He certainly seemed to enjoy the audience!! Making Rita watch as he pushed the tip past her daughter's lips; doing things to her in a manner that was meant to see how far Rita would let him go. Rita had no limits for Kysa. This was not to be a pleasant time for her. It was to be a learning experience, and a painful one at that. He had Kysa taste his cockhead with the foreskin covering it.
She licked it and suckled on it, looking over at her Mom as the heavy precum dripped from her lips onto her breasts and thighs below. Paul gripped the fat base and used his length to probe mouth, swirling it around to make me feel the heat and strength of it. He pushed it in, and then a bit more, teasing her, making her teeth open and lips spread as he filled her mouth with it. He seemed to be watching Rita; sensing the mother's reactions, savoring Rita's apparent disengagement from the situation, as his hand movements milked several droplets from the tip, onto Kysa's tongue. She caught the taste, way at the back of her mouth and was forced to consume it, unable to roll the amount off her tongue and lips. Paul enjoyed Kysa's body, using the her mouth to further lubricate himself, and taunting Rita by pushing even farther and spreading the young girl's throat, causing her to spit up and choke a little. He had a third of his length in her mouth and Kysa was frightened! But he was in fact a gentleman, and didn't take it further.
Paul looked toward Rita and found her naked; her hands were squeezing her big breasts and she was slipping a finger inside her own juicy slit at the spectacle in front of her. Paul shifted down the bed, encouraging Kysa to prop her head up on top of the pillows as he knelt between her legs. He used his knees to push her thighs apart as his penis swung closer and closer to her sweetness. Once again he gripped himself and started to use his organ like a dildo against Kysa's small, but super-sensitive clit. She was already dripping wet, and Paul himself had been dripping a massive amount of precum all over the young girl from the start!
What Kysa had tasted before in her mouth, she could now see oozing onto her little pussy slit. He used the broad head of his massive black penis to massage Kysa's pussy lips, exciting the girl, heating her up, turning her into a submissive little slut for black cock. His erection grew wildly; reaching its full length; stiffening like a hard baton. It swelled thick, with deep purple veins pushing through the dark black covering. Veins that looked like reinforcement steel outlining his already powerful organ. He swayed his hips and let his stiffness rub across the daughter's sparse, but dark pubic fuzz.
Kysa stared down intently; as this huge black man leaned forward and slowly dragged the head of his member up from her clit and pushed its way through her pubic hair. The head was so large that Kysa's pussy hair gently swiped only the tip; it was wider than her small bush! He was simulating strokes against her pubis; turning Kysa hotter in anticipation, making both Rita and Kysa stare at his oversized black tool hanging between her thighs. Paul's cock was so dark against Kysa's barely tanned body, it looked so potent, so virile as black men inevitably are with their white girls. His mighty black cock flowed precum at the end of each forward stroke, making Kysa eek out little moans of pleasure each time he added to the puddle on her belly. His skill was apparent; seemingly in control of these miniature ejaculations, as whenever he caught Rita measuring, he would just moan a breath deeper and spurt a fuller stream. Kysa was amazed at the volume of fluid leaking from his huge cock! He wanted Rita to know; he wanted her to see, he wanted Rita to realize how much man was with her little daughter, and just WHO was going to take the little nymphette!
Paul arched slowly and let the wetted head slip down against Kysa's swollen little labia. Slowly searching and lubricating; finding her tight little opening and pushing against it. He lowered himself; making the tip penetrate into her; emitting his small ropes of precum to lubricate the path of his prick. The feeling was unbelievable. Kysa yelped out in pain. Never before had she felt such pressure!! Wet or not this man was HUGE! Again he looked toward Rita; this time smiling as he pushed himself even deeper with another inch, holding himself there, smiling at Rita, savoring her reaction as Kysa emitted a shuddering scream!
Kysa was gasping for air and beginning to cry hard now. She clawed at the brutish black man's chest and belly, trying as hard as she could to extricate his huge member from her insanely stretched cunt now. Paul grasped her hips and held himself in placed, making Kysa's poor little pussy adjust to its massive width and girth. Kysa was crying and squirming viciously underneath him, looking over to her Mom, she mouthed, "Mama, PLEASE, make him stop!! It's hurting, PLEASE Mama!!"
Rita came closer and leaned over Kysa, massaging her breasts and kissing her tenderly. "Now Kysa, this is for your own good, darling. I know you don't think so now, but you will thank me for this someday. So let's just let the black man do what he needs to do, Okay?" Kysa's tears welled up and flowed down her cheeks as her Mom signed those words to her. Kysa felt abandoned to the lust of this brutal black beast raping and ravaging her precious sweetness. Rita leaned over and kissed Kysa's tears as she held her heaving bosom up to keep her daughter's big breasts from swinging freely from the way Paul's cock was forcefully pushing her back and forth on the bed.
Paul ignored the girl, commented to Rita on her tightness as he slowly rocked in and out. Rita watched as over 6 of his thick black inches slipped in and out of her daughter. "That's it, she thought, this is what it will take to break her little girl in properly." His awesome width overloaded the young daughter; stretching her pussy walls painfully, as he mixed his short strokes with his continuous pleasure moans. He paused, telling Rita he wanted to push it all into me; knowing he had already hit Kysa's cervix with just over 6 inches inside her. Rita told him it was possible, but not likely now as he once again gripped his base and started to manipulate himself. Kysa was filled so tightly she could feel his pulse through his mighty cock inside of her terribly stretched pussy. The sensation was strangely painful as she felt his tip probing, searching... Kysa looked up just in time to catch him smile.
He gripped his hands low on her hips as he pushed himself forward, making the daughter take more of him! She screamed again in pain, reaching up and covering her eyes with her clenched fists as she fought back the tears, but they came hard. Paul found her cervix opening and was forcing his huge black member up into the young girl's womb! He was determined to do his duty properly and break Kysa's pussy in a way she would NEVER forget. The sensation was incredibly painful for her! His incredible girth now stretched her pussy as the thickest base of his penis began to enter her. Kysa began to squirm away in pain, but the fat cockknob was stuck in her, not allowing her to go, and with each movement, she only invited a new adventure in pain. Afraid for the teenager, and feeling the discomfort on his cock from being held too tightly inside the young girl, Paul stopped. He allowed Kysa to relax her tight pussy ring as he laid his weight down on her, reaching down and kissing her on the lips. He kissed her again, caressed her and held her lovingly. After a minute or so, Kysa began to relax, and then Rita relaxed a little seeing her daughter wasn't sobbing so hard now, just slowing to a whimper underneath the black stud.
Paul wasn't long before he decided to take charge of this deflowering once and for all. Rearing back, he poured his massive black cock into the girl, shredding her insides, then pumping into Kysa's tender virginal pussy! Kysa yelled again, starting to cry aloud under the onslaught of so much cock coming again and again inside her. Whenever he withdrew a few inches, she felt like he was taking her guts with him, as his fat cockhead was rearranging her tender cunt.
"OH, GODDAMN, THIS IS GOOD PUSSY, RITA!!! THIS BITCH IS GOING TO BE A FINE SLUT SOMEDAY!" Paul picked up the pace and began thrusting powerfully into the small young girl underneath him. He muscular black ass rippled as he powerfucked the poor young virgin beneath him. Rita was dripping wet as she continued watching her daughter punished by the black man's huge cock for the first time. WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP...WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP...WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP was the only sound other than Kysa's loud crying as the black monster viciously tore his cock into the young teenager's pussy.
It was such an awesome a sight to Rita, seeing her 14-year old daughter being essentially raped from virginity right before her eyes. Rita had planned for this moment since the day Kysa was born, and she was enjoying every minute of her daughter's torment and pain from the huge black cock. Rita knew that once Kysa got over her soreness from this vicious black-fucking in a week or so, she'd look upon teen boys as just that: boys. And any man she came across that didn't measure up to Paul's big cock, she'd likely laugh him off as a "boy." The brutal fucking continued unabated, as Kysa continued crying underneath the black animal on top of her. For two hours on and off, Paul worked Kysa over, never letting his cock leave her hole. WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP WHAP-WHAP-WHAP... WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP-WHAP was the only sound other than Kysa's loud crying as the black man worked the young teenager's pussy into a soreness that would take her more than two weeks to fully recover from.
The two lovers laid there as Paul continued to pump slowly in and out; using just the seven or so inches she was capable of taking inside her virgin pussy. He knew he had ruined her little pussy, as he looked down and she was a blabbering mess. He was playing with the girl now; enjoying her virgin tightness, making Rita watch his muscular black butt as it moved up and down on her daughter; making his little pleasure moans to announce each time he released a burst of precum inside the girl. He was becoming very aroused again, and so too was Kysa as he slowly rebuilt his rhythm and his rigidity.
Holding Kysa tighter, moving stronger; pushing in and pausing; pushing again and pausing, groaning longer and louder at the end of each thrust; injecting the girl with larger and larger quantities of thick precum! Kysa loved the feeling inside each time that his oversized member throbbed. When he paused she began to push back to get more of him. She wrapped her arms around Paul's neck and started French-kissing him. When Rita saw her do that, she knew her daughter was finally broken in properly.
Kysa felt him lift, one hand grabbing her plump breast, squeezing it hard, bruising her as he kissed the other one hungrily scraping his teeth and pulling her nipple an inch away from her breast. Swaying, moving, probing to find the opening of her cervix again, Paul pushed more of himself into her again. Using Kysa's fat breasts as anchors he pushed strongly, penetrating the young girl completely and forcing her to cry out loudly in pain. He gave it all to the little slut now! Almost 10 full inches and painfully thick. He thrust hard into her, forcing the negro-cock deeper and deeper, making her take all that he had, slapping his enormous, cum-filled testicles against her upturned buttocks.
Short strokes; long strokes; he used them all. He was a REAL man, all right, and more! He did everything Rita asked of him and more. He made Rita sit there and watch as he flipped her daughter onto her hands and knees and moved behind her. Rita watched as Paul's cum-swelled penis once again pushed it's way into the teen's pussy from behind! This time easily invading her pre-stretched cervix. He rode the little slutty teen like a animal, bucking and penetrating Kysa deeply with hard powerful thrusts and with a penis more than twice what any teenage boy would ever present to her in the years ahead. The black buck had completely exhausted Kysa, reaching beneath her to pull and stretch her breasts and nipples as he pumped her; shifting a hand to rub her swollen clit; fingering around her anal opening, then back to pull her nipples a little harder, a little longer. He did it all until finally he withdrew and rolled her onto her back.
His stamina was incredible; his thrusting wild as he slammed into the child. Kysa was cock-whipped into exhaustion and yet his prick was harder and hornier than ever. She could barely move as he once again pulled her legs apart and positioned himself between her thighs! He knelt there, proudly displaying his massive erection; wanting Rita to see that the entire length of that black shaft reached several inches above the teen girl's bellybutton, and was soaked with his black babymaking seed right down to his testicles, still dribbling steadily.
He used his hand to stroke himself and milk several large ropes of cum onto her belly. Kysa felt his knees pushing at her inner thighs (her thighs shaking uncontrollably from being held wide open for hours), opening her widely so Mom could see his bulging black cockhead once again separate her ungodly-stretched opening. He entered her, forcing his length deep into her womb, grunting with delight as he felt their pubic bones collide. He strained, tightening his buttocks to urge every bit of his manhood into the young girl.
Kysa could feel him trembling as his pace quickened; banging against her pubes to ensure complete penetration. His bursts of pleasure almost continuous as his orgasm built! Then exploding violently inside her, the black buck flooded her very womb, stopping his motions momentarily to make her feel the force of his ejaculations filling her cavities; grunting intensely from the immense release. Then, catching Rita's eye as he slowly pulled his lengthy shaft out of Kysa's torn and stretched pussy, his cum still pouring freely; he quickly moved toward Kysa's face and bade her to suck him clean.
Kysa was so exhausted, she offered no resistance as he fed his big black meat to her face! Kysa hardly noticed her Mom approach the two of them and lay between her legs to examine and enjoy what Paul had done to her. The experience was unforgettable! Kysa and her Mom still talk about it all the time, and Kysa is not afraid to share how she will someday break her own [future] daughter in just like her Mom did her!

This Day in History: Wing Commander Gets Animated
May 14, 1996: Electronic Arts announces the animated series Wing Commander Academy.
On this day in 1996, Universal Cartoon Studios and Electronic Arts announced Wing Commander Academy, an animated series based on Origin's series of computer games.
Thirteen half-hour episodes were ordered at Universal Cartoon Studios for a Fall premiere, with several members of the Wing Commander III and Wing Commander IV cast reprising their roles for the show.
"We have long believed that the best-selling Wing Commander franchise was the perfect vehicle to move our compelling interactive content to a broader entertainment medium," said EA CEO Larry Probst. "Partnering with Universal Cartoon Studios has been a superb match, combining our characters and stories with their considerable linear production experience."
The cartoon is mostly forgotten these days, though it lives on via a Wing Commander fan site, Wing Commander Combat Information Center.

McDowellPosted: May 15, 2010 12:00AM PST by AngryAtom!!!
I met Malcolm McDowell a few weeks ago, and unfortunately one thing that first introduced me to his work and led me to watch many of his films was his performance in the wing commander games and this cartoon series. I told him that I liked him in Wing Commander, but I don't think he found it very flattering!
Man/Tzin WarsPosted: May 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by frankiehorrigan
Holy shit, I had forgotten about those books. My dad was a big sci-fi reader and these just stood out in the middle of his stacks and stacks of books. Tiger aliens were pretty much the coolest shit a 5 year old kid could see.
And wow, Googling it I see that they're still fucking writing them. Up to Man-Kzin Wars 12. I wonder if they're any good.
I wanted to like thisPosted: May 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by TornConflict
I forgot about this one. I was a huge fan of the Wing Commander games but this show was pretty weak if I remember correctly. I'll have to check out this site and see if it is as bad as I remember it. Also A+ to Frank for remembering this one.
I think I saw one of thesePosted: May 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by solidsharkey
I only remember one, anyway. About a pilot who gets shot down along with one of the Kzin-knockoffs and they have to rely on each other to survive. You'd think it'd end up one of those bog standard Enemy Mine kind of situations where everyone learns that their enemies aren't so different from themselves... but no. The cat betrays the dude and he learns that his furious hatred of an entire sentient species is totally, completely justified. Saturday morning cartoons are prone to some pretty insipid moralizing, but I think I'd have prefered that to "sometimes a whole race is just evil and completely wiping them out is the only answer."

West Indies captain Darren Sammy has said that his team is all set to play a party-pooper in Sachin Tendulkar's historic 200th and final Test at his home ground, Wankhede Stadium, next month. "We will look to get him out first ball," says Sammy.
West Indies are scheduled to play two Tests and three one-day internationals against India. The first Test at the Eden Gardens will start on November 6, followed by the Mumbai Test on November 14.
Two years ago, Sammy denied Tendulkar his 100th international century as he caught him on 94 runs at the same venue. The West Indies skipper aims for a repeat in Tendulkar's last appearance too.
"I have played enough cricket in India to know how the noise levels climb a few notches whenever Sachin Tendulkar enters the scene. And I know it's going to be crazier when he walks down the steps of the Wankhede Stadium in November, one last time. Not to forget the three innings before that. But I can assure you that every time Sachin walks out to bat in his final series, we will look to get him out first ball," Sammy told The Indian Express.
"This is not to say that we don't realise the magnitude of the event. This will be the last time the passionate Indian fans will get to see their biggest hero on a cricket ground.
"The atmosphere is going to be emotional and surreal but we are there as a proud team looking to win a Test match. And for that we need to take 20 wickets, including Tendulkar's. Plus, all my bowlers will be motivated to get him out. There's history at stake after all. All of them, including yours truly, will want to be the bowler who dismissed the great man for the last time. And there's going to be great competition among us. So we'll all come extra hard at him," Sammy said.
"Probably at the end of the day, we will sit down for a drink with him, and celebrate the 24 years he has spent amazing the cricket world. But there's no question of us dropping our guard and getting swayed by Tendulkar mania. As the captain of the West Indies, I am more focused on being competitive during the Test series and try and post a win in India", he added.
"We as a team have had a good run over the last 18 months in Test cricket and have climbed up the rankings. Our goal is clear when we reach India, which is to keep improving. Winning in India is never easy. This time, I am sure Sachin will be all over the place, and there will be a lot of off-field distractions we'll have to deal with. We'll do our bit to celebrate the legacy of Tendulkar, but once the match is underway, it'll just be an India vs West Indies Test match and not about one man. We will be pragmatic, and as captain, it will be my responsibility to keep my lads focused", the West Indies skipper said.
"I did get a taste of it when we toured here last time in 2011 and Tendulkar stood a few runs away from his 100th international century. The Wankhede was a cauldron. And it was me who hung onto that catch at slip off Ravi's [Rampaul] bowling to get rid of him for 94. It was a great moment as an opposition captain, even though I knew Darren Sammy probably lost a lot of friends that day across India. I spoiled what was shaping up to be a crazy party in Mumbai. But it has to be my greatest Sachin moment. I've seen him play so many incredible knocks on television but the time I foiled his 100th hundred will be my special moment. That wicket also set up a great finish", he added.
"Tendulkar has always been one of my heroes. You would want legends like him to keep playing forever, but unfortunately everyone has to move on. This will be the last time we'll see Sachin Tendulkar on a cricket field. I can't imagine how it must feel for anyone involved with Indian cricket, including the millions of fans around the world" Sammy said.

By the 12th week of pregnancy, there is a good chance your doctor will have become aware of the fact you are carrying twins instead of a singleton. According to the Women's Healthcare Topics website, at 12 weeks you are likely to be experiencing an enlarged uterus, greater than normal weight gain and unusually bad morning sickness. By 12 weeks, the doctor may also have been able to detect two heartbeats.
Fetal Development
According to the Baby Center website, by 12 weeks the twins should be approximately 3 inches long. Their limbs and organs will be completely formed, although not completely developed or functional. Their faces will look normal. The twins will start to move around, but you won't be able to feel it yet. The baby center also reports that the babies will have reflexes. So as they move around and bump into each other, they will clench their fists and curl their toes.
Changes for the Mother
By the time you are 12 weeks pregnant with twins, you may be experiencing anemia, which the I-am-pregnant website states is normal during pregnancy. However, it is especially common in women carrying twins. Other common changes or symptoms by week 12 of a twin pregnancy include: bleeding gums, constipation, breathlessness, fatigue and changes in libido. Although most of these can happen during any pregnancy, they are more frequent during twin pregnancies. This is because the body takes away from its own blood supply and nutrients to develop the babies, depleting what the mother needs for good health.
Risks and Considerations
There is an increased risk of miscarriage when carrying twins. More specifically, it is possible to miscarry one baby, but still carry the second baby to term. However, the risk of miscarriage decreases considerably at 12 weeks. According to the Women's Healthcare Topics website, when one twin is miscarried before 12 weeks, the loss is "reabsorbed" and in most cases nothing needs to be done. It is possible to lose one baby and never be aware of the fact you started with twins.
Due to the increased risk of miscarriage, as well as the increased risk of preterm labor, Women's Healthcare Topics recommends women carrying twins take special care to stay hydrated and consume nutrient-dense food.

The proposed tax cut, which takes the tax rate from 35% to 28%, is aimed at more job creation and keeping jobs from leaving the country.
One University of Saint Francis professor says those cuts could benefit businesses of all sizes.
University of Saint Francis Professor Doug Meador, Ph.D. says, "Mega-corporations pick up their buying. Some of that is going to purchased from the very small corporations."
Meador says small business will have a tougher time getting tax shelter however.

Taking a look at the 'Best American' and other writing anthologies
Readers who had an early look at the annual "Best American" anthologies and other best-of writing collections might have seen an indicator for this year's Nobel Prize for literature.
Canadian writer Alice Munro, this year's Nobel lit laureate, is included in three of the collections, with different stories in "The Best American Short Stories" ("Train") and "The O. Henry Prize Stories" ("Leaving Maverley") and a personal essay in "The Best American Essays" ("Night"). (All three works come from her 2012 book "Dear Life.") »Read Full Article
Reading the John Updike stories: 'Toward Evening'
The Library of America recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories,' a two-volume boxed set of 186 stories arranged in chronological order. I'm reading one or more a week and commenting on them each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
"Toward Evening," as its title suggests, is a slight story preoccupied with a dreamy state of fading light and lust. Tired Rafe catches a bus in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral. He helps boost a chubby woman on to the bus. »Read Full Blog Post

Muzzleloader deer season opens statewide Saturday
Ohio's white-tailed deer muzzleloader hunting season is open statewide Saturday through Tuesday, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.
So far this season, hunters have harvested 188,853 deer overall. During the 2012 four-day muzzleloader season, 19,459 deer were taken.
Hunters must possess proper permits. Regardless of zone, method of taking or season, hunters may take only one antlered deer during the 2012-13 season.
Legal hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise until sunset. Deer must be checked in by noon the day after harvest, except on the last day, when they must be checked by 11:30 p.m.
Small game, furbearer and waterfowl seasons also are open during muzzleloader season. Hunters (except waterfowl hunters) must wear a visible solid hunter orange or camouflage hunter orange coat, jacket, vest or coveralls during muzzleloader season.
Deer-archery season remains open through Feb. 3.
Hunters must report their deer harvest, but no longer are required to take their deer to a check station for physical inspection.

"Today meant a lot to us," junior offensive lineman Mark Beard said. "A lot of guys are tired, and this was Coach's way to show us some love. We really enjoyed it."
"After 11 straight days of camp, we decided to give the boys a chance to jump in the pool," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "It's always fun watching our freshmen jump for the first time."
The Bulldogs' evening practice session started late due to inclement weather in the area. Georgia was supposed to cap practice with a watermelon cutting, which annually marks the end of camp and the start of classes, but it had to be rescheduled due to the weather. The Bulldogs hit the field at 8:30 p.m. (not far from the scheduled kickoff time of the season opener in three weeks) and finished at 10:15 p.m.
"I thought it was nice to practice under the lights, especially since our first game is at night," Richt said. "Everybody practiced well. They had good mental focus considering we had a couple of weather delays. It was a good day."
Fall semester classes begin at Georgia on Monday. The annual Fans Picture Day will be held Saturday, Aug. 17, in the Reed Plaza area of Sanford Stadium. Georgia football players will be on hand for photos and autographs from 3-5 p.m. between Gates 2 and 4. Richt will also be available from 3-5 p.m. for those with ticket coupons.
The Bulldogs open their 2013 schedule on Aug. 31 when they travel to face eighth-ranked Clemson at 8 p.m. ET. The contest, which is 2013's only season-opening top-10 matchup, will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

Defined benefit and defined contribution are the two main types of employer retirement plans. Defined benefit plans were at one time the mainstay of company retirement plans but are not as popular as they used to be. Defined contribution plans are becoming more common, because they are less expensive for employers to administer. Each plan has its advantages for the employer and employee.
Defined Benefit Plan
A defined-benefit plan, also called a pension, is a plan that pays you a specific amount of money, either per month or in a lump sum, when you become eligible for retirement benefits. These plans usually have formulas to determine how much you receive in benefits based on criteria such as how long you have worked for the company and what your salary is. Generally, the employer pays the complete cost of a defined-benefit plan. Government employment often has a defined-benefit pension plan as one of its benefits.
Defined-Contribution Plan
A defined contribution plan is a plan that does not pay a specific benefit when you retire, but allows you to save money in a tax-deferred account. A 401k is a common type of defined-contribution plan. At retirement, you withdraw this money over time for living expenses. Your employer usually contributes to a defined-contribution plan also, either in the form of a match of some portion of your contributions or a fixed amount.
Defined-benefit plans promise a certain payout based on criteria that the participant can control. Generally, if you work at a job longer, you will be able to collect a larger benefit. Many people like the fact that they can easily plan for this, and it takes the mystery out of retirement planning. Defined-contribution plans allow the participant to control how his money is invested. You make the choices depending on how much risk you are willing to tolerate. You can also borrow against a defined-contribution plan in many cases. The money in a defined-contribution plan is also portable and can be moved if you leave your employment. Defined-contribution plans also provide tax benefits, allowing you to defer part of your income and pay taxes on it later after you retire.
Defined-benefit plans are not as flexible. If you leave employment before a certain time, you could forfeit the pension. The contributions to the pension plan stop when you leave employment, freezing your benefits. Your employer also retains complete control over the fund and determines how it is invested. Defined-contribution plans are not guaranteed to have any particular value when you retire and may gain or lose value depending on investment performance. Where a Defined-benefit plan is generally funded completely by your employer, a defined-contribution plan must be funded, at least in part, by you.

One embodiment of a custom extruded tube, 30 inches in length with a 3/4
inch slit the entire length. This single piece making up this device is
specifically designed for the application of attaching a goose neck
trailer to a truck. The material is rubberized plastic with an integral
reflective yellow pigment added in the extrusion process for superior
visibility. The material of the tube allows for it to be used over and
over without stretching or breaking. The interior diameter measurement is
2.312 inches and the outer diameter measurement is 2.512 inches. It is
designed to fit snuggly over a 2 5/16 Gooseneck ball.
1. A method for joining two mobile wheeled conveyances to a point of
connection comprising the following steps:a. move both conveyances, one
powered the other stationary, toward a predetermined point using a mirror
and a tubular post for alignment.b. when the two conveyances converge the
post will indicate proper alignment.
[0001]This specification is in reference to application Ser. No. 11/895,582 which was filed on Aug. 27, 2007.
[0002]Not Applicable
[0003]Not Applicable
[0004]1. Field of Invention
[0005]This invention relates to a tubular, rubberized plastic and highly visible aide, which, attaches over the vehicle's towing ball to assist the driver in quickly aligning a trailer's gooseneck hitch for attachment.
[0006]2. Background
[0007]Under normal circumstances, attachment of a Gooseneck Trailer maybe difficult for the driver without another person directing the driver from the back of the vehicle. Truck cabs, whether they be extended, or four door, create a distance and a line of sight barrier for the driver to be able to see both the Gooseneck hitch and the ball to which it will be connected. Additionally, a driver's physical limitations may make it difficult to turn the head or body sufficiently to look behind to align the hitch to the ball.
[0008]Due to the above driver limitations, a custom extruded tube with a slit the entire length, was invented. This device was specifically invented to assist the driver when attaching a gooseneck trailer hitch to the ball of a truck. The material is durable Rubberized Plastic with reflective pigment molded as an integral part of the manufacturing process. It is bright yellow in color. When released to the public for a trial period, the helper achieved excellent results.
[0009]The Gooseneck Hook-up helper is tubular in shape, 30 inches in length with a 3/4'' wide split down the entire length. It has an outside diameter of 2.512, inches and an inside diameter of 2.312 inches. It is designed to fit over a 2 5/16's Gooseneck Ball. The split down the tube should face to the rear of the truck. The driver, without having to turn around to look behind him, may simply line up the trailer in the truck's rear view mirror. When the trailer hitch is correctly lined up with, and comes in contact with the Gooseneck Hook-up helper, the helper will pop off the ball. This will correctly align the trailer hitch with the ball in or on the bed of the truck. The driver then engages the emergency brake to preclude the truck from moving when placed into Park.
[0010]In accordance with one embodiment a Gooseneck Hook-up helper is a 30'' high, tubular, easily seen guide, designed to slip over a 2 5/16 inch Ball and to assist a driver in easily lining up the Gooseneck hitch to the ball to which it will be connected.
[0011]FIG. 1: Shows the Hook-up Helper side view: 30 Inches in Length.
[0012]FIG. 2: Shows the Hook-up Helper top view with inside measurement of 2.312 inch diameter.
[0013]FIG. 3: Shows the Hook-up Helper side and top views with outside diameter of 2.512 inch diameter and height of 30 inches.
[0014]FIG. 4: Side view with the relationship of the Ball with the Hook-Up Helper.
[0015]FIG. 5: Side view with the 3/4 split.
[0016]FIG. 6: Side view of Hook-up Helper with its finished color.
[0017]FIG. 7: Sample of the directions that are attached to the Gooseneck Hook-up helper.
[0018]FIG. 1 illustrates the basic tubular shape and length of the "Gooseneck Hook-up Helper". It has a primary length of 30 inches and is made of an extruded plastic and rubber blend to allow flexibility, thus precluding breakage during use and so that it does not get brittle with age. FIG. 2 illustrates the top view, the "Gooseneck Hook-up Helper" is uniform in internal dimension of 2.312 inches allowing it to fit over a 2 5/16 inch towing ball. The outside dimension FIG. 3, is also uniform at 2.512 inch resulting in an overall thickness of 0.2 inches.
[0019]FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate the relationship of the "Gooseneck Hook-up Helper with the ball and FIG. 5 shows the 3/4 inch split, which extends the full length. This split is necessary to allow the "Gooseneck Hook-up Helper" to be easily disengaged from the ball when struck by the trailer hitch.
[0020]FIG. 6 is an example of the luminescent color that is manufactured as an integral pigment to the chemical mixture that makes up "Gooseneck Hook-up Helper". The physical shape and color make it easy to see, not only during the day, but at night when the luminescence of this added color reflects light and appears to glow in the dark.
[0021]FIG. 7 is a copy of the actual instructions that are attached to each helper.
[0022]To use the "Gooseneck Hook-Up Helper" the operator will climb into the bed of the truck, make sure the towing ball is in the right position for hitch attachment, place the "Gooseneck Hook-Up Helper" in an upright position over the ball, with the 3/4 inch split facing the rear of the truck, and press down until it is seated. The operator then enters the truck and begins backing up to the trailer hitch. At this point the driver may look behind to align the truck to the hitch, but the preferred method is to use the vehicle's rear view mirror to align. When the trailer hitch comes in contact with the "Gooseneck Hook-Up Helper" it will pop off the ball. This will correctly align the trailer hitch with the ball, in or on the bed of the truck, for easy hook-up. At this point the driver should engage the emergency brake to preclude movement of the truck, fore or aft, when removing the foot from the brake pedal or putting the transmission into Park.
[0023]Accordingly, the reader will see that the "Gooseneck Hook-Up Helper" will greatly assist the driver in the proper alignment and hook-up of a gooseneck trailer without having to frequently stop, get out of the vehicle to verify the alignment of the ball to the hitch, or the need for an additional person to voice or signal directions to the driver. The "Gooseneck Hook-up Helper" provides superior visibility in all weather conditions and levels of light from the safety and security of the vehicle. Its sturdy yet flexible construction makes it impervious to all weather conditions as well as chemicals and or other substances that it might come in contact with.
