Posted Wed 12th of January 2011
"Come to my office."
Victor hung up the phone and got up. By now, the office had emptied of most people. Carmine had even left at six. Walking into his boss's office he saw Meredith sitting back in her chair behind her desk.
She brought her hands up and arched her fingers. Victor steeled himself for her end run on the marriage proposal. "What will our schedule be like next week Victor?"
"One call on Monday for out in Leethon. It's a hospital looking at upgrading from Dellis 9's. On Thursday and Friday two meetings in Wendlewood just up the street."
"Change the Friday to Thursday or Wednesday. I have my mother coming into town."
"I see."
Meredith walked around the desk and leaned back on it reaching for him. "Come, Victor." He walked over grabbing a hand. She pulled him intimately close face to face so he was pressed against her breasts. Her cool minty breath and her Chanel wafted up dueling lightly.
With the heavy eyeshadow she wore her yellow eyes seemed especially bright as she stared into him. "Have you thought on my offer recently? I am very curious if any questions came up during your decision."
"Did you tell your mother?" He asked dryly.
She blinked. "My offer Victor." She leaned in to bite his nose.
He pulled his head back blowing her wavy black hair from his mouth. "Not yet Meredith." He eased her back and looked at her. Her yellow hazel eyes shone wetly and contrasted with her deep bronzed olive tan. "Have you told your mother?" He asked again plainly.
Her foster parents were childless Israeli's who had meticulously taught her everything they knew, and were the reason the emotionless sociopath wasn't on a F.B.I. case list by now.
Meredith paused holding his gazed before answering. Behind him, her hand strayed from his back to his ass. "She knows I considered marriage. She has wanted children from me for some time now. She knows you, and despite being a Gentile, you are… okay. She feels if you have to be the one, then she won't argue anymore. As long as quotas are fulfilled she will agree."
Victor chuckled, her parents actively tried converting him over the holidays every year. "Well isn't that sexy. I don't suppose there is a nice Jewish man out there for you."
She tried to bite him again. "No." She went in for a kiss and caught his lips. "You are best."
She sat up further on the desk and leaned in and kissing him again. Her hand snaked down releasing his hardening length. With a practiced technique, she pulled him straight, and slid him along the inside of her thighs.
His cock nudged on something smooth, warm, fleshy, and wet. "Wwwhat are you doing?" Sitting as she was he didn't remember she wasn't wearing panties.
She eased over onto him hopping of the desk onto his cock. She held herself on his shoulder and around his neck while her thick muscular legs slid down on either side of him. The move surprised him as his cock moved up into her, her hole grasped and clutch at him. Finally, their hips met in the awkward standing position. She took a long deep breath as her pussy pulsed around him. He could feel she was very close already. "Thank you for accepting my offer. I feel you will be most pleased with our decision. We offer excellent service."
Meredith thought she closed the deal.
"Listen…" He protested as she started humping against him. They both struggled as she bounced onto him and he tried getting a hold of her. "Listen." He said stopping her body as her hips still spun. "You're doing it wrong."
Victor eased back and spun her around. His cock glistened and he was shocked she had come on him already somehow. He moved in quickly, spun her around, bent her happy butt over, exposed her huge rounded buns, and buggered her before she could stop him.
"No. We should have a child. I was told--" Meredith pleaded sounding despondent while struggling with him trying to turn back, but he stood on the outside of her legs and trapped her in.
Victor pushed lower over onto her pushing down her head, and continuing to slide in deeper. "Shut your mouth. I'll give you one when I'm good and ready." He built up speed in her thick ass and started fucking her faster in a ruthless rhythm that sent shock-waves along the exposed flesh.
As he pushed up into her ass, Meredith protested and she tried to get out from under him. Her movements helped him quickly climax from the earlier teasing with Carmine.
After catching his breath, he tried to lay down the law. "This weekend I'm going to think about your offer. I gotta take time to consider it fully. I know we've been together awhile but questions like do I move in-"
"Yes." She interjected.
"…Or money? Or insurance? Do you keep that? How many children? Do our dogs like each other?"
Meredith froze as she tried to follow his juggling questions.
Victor continued. "We have lots to think about don't we?"
"Yes." She said slowly.
Getting home as usual was a quiet affair. He lived in apartment complex of nice duplexes for young professionals and young families since he had a dog. His weekend was slow and uneventful.
By Sunday morning, Victor was up late but took Simon his blondish red Australian Heeler out for a run. On his way back, he got the paper.
"Hey you! What you doing?" Taris said catching Victor walking Simon through the parking lot.
Taris was a leggy dark blond with an orange tan. Today she wore a tank top and tiny gym shorts that showed just how long her legs were.
She came up and latched onto Simon the mack. "Just got the paper. I'm gonna see what Dan Henninger and Steve Forbes think of the world."
Victor eyed down her tank top. Taris was a decent hand full but she had a real fine ass and today her shorts were making her famous.
She looked up distracted. "Who?"
Victor waved the WSJ at her. "The paper. I'm going to read the paper."
She tilted her head at him. "Oh... Sounds boring."
Victor leaned back so he didn't look like a perv. "Ya know the Chinese have an old curse 'May you live in interesting times'."
He watched her take a half second to consider it before dismissing what he said. "Huh, well when you're done why don't you come over? I need you help with something."
Victor sighed. Taris was a pretty girl who badly needed a boyfriend, and considered him the nice guy fill-in. His own morals kept him from charging the gat and converting over into a full relationship. So as usual, she taking advantage of the confusion and was roping him into volunteer work.
She noted his dubious expression. "Don't worry it'll only take a few minutes. We can drink wine and I'll order a pizza." She said standing.
"It's…Okay how about at four?"
She displayed what appeared to be perfectly fine nails to him. "No, I gotta go out for an appointment."
Victor missed the neurotic needs of women sometimes and Taris was always good for waking him up. "Okay, eight?"
She looked at him suspiciously. "Why so late?"
Victor shrugged. "What's a good time Taris?"
"Umm, around two. I guess I could make it a late lunch and order something."
Meredith, unlike Taris of the delivery diet, is an excellent cook.
"Okay Taris, sounds great." Victor said turning.
"You won't forget?" She called.
She couldn't see his smile. "No, don't worry."
"Great I'll order something good I promise."
By two, Victor had gotten through with everything and brought out his clothes for his Monday sales call. Reading the Sunday local and WSJ, he learned about the silly shit the people in government did to keep busy while the real problems grew.
Oddly, Simon alerted him to the time and he walked over to see what Taris needed done.
Taris answered the door on the first knock despite her blaring radio. Inside bags from carryout sat on the table.
"So we can eat first what do you think?"
"Sure..." Victor said walking in.
The burritos she got tried to be good despite being vegan. Victor wondered at why she got them at ten bucks a piece.
"Well that was great…" Victor said looking around for something else to eat.
Thinking he was ready to work she hopped up. "Right! Well I wanted you to check out the sink here." She led him over. "I cleared it out under there already. I changed the filter but nothing comes out now. See?" She said turning on the water.
"Okay give me a minute." Victor got in and took a look.
A minute turned into fifteen as he tried to unscrew and re-screw the filter someone with amazing flexibility jammed in.
During a commercial, Taris wandered into the kitchen. "So, Rorsiac is playing at the Metreon next weekend. Wanna go and hit the bar after?"
"Uh… I can't actually, and I can't really hang out anymore either." Victor said pausing to look at her.
"A girl I'm seeing decided she wants to be exclusive now so…" Victor trailed off.
Taris got serious and kinda scary as she moved to stand over him. "What? I mean what do you mean she decided?"
"Well she was someone I've known for a while and I guess it became should I leave, or make it more than what we had."
She paused guessing the hidden meaning. "So you just fucked her," She said with hands on hips. "…And wanted to leave, now SHE wants you…for herself."
"Ya, I guess..." Victor muttered surprised at her intuitive grasp on his life.
"So another woman…I'm glad you're not gay." She smiled wryly looking off unseeing. "I was wondering why you moved so slowly. It was like you only flirted when you were bored, or drunk."
"I prefer to take things as they come."
She walked up next to him and squatted down to get down to his level. "So do I. I can't say I'm too pleased." She stared at him. "Men usually cheat for a girl like me."
"Right…" Victor said slowly wondering what the hell she was doing. His more aware cock was waking up to the innuendos flying around.
"Not that I think you would…" She added thoughtfully. "But… that's the part I like." She laid a hand out on Victor's thigh contemplating. "In fact I'm almost curious who could have you over me. I could do you much better you know."
When her fingers started to wander, Victor shuffled down to get out from under the sink but froze when her hand just slid up along his thigh over him as he squirmed out. "Come on let me…"
Taris moved slowly like in a dream and brought her other hand over for his zipper. "No, just let me. While you're here, just pretend you're a plumber dude." She said. "Let's have a fantasy."
His traitorous cock defected from his pants with her support. Once airborne and free his balls also appealed for amnesty.
Taris was like a child tugging and playing with her new friends, learning their secrets. "This is huge. This is like the biggest. Why didn't you ever..?" She looked at him with hurt showing.
Victor sighed and gave her the 'I feel your pain' look that men get real good at when a woman has their balls. "Look. It's not that I don't like you. It's just that I take a while to get off. So, I really don't just whip it out, or get too pushy about it unless I got the time. Besides, girls get sore sometimes before I'm done, some are too small to fit, one little Asian girl cried and refused, and because of likely complications I don't really let women into my circle of intimacy very often okay?"
Taris got a determined look and dropped her face onto him and found out first hand he was more than a mouthful. "It's like a coke can."
"Ya, it's deceptively big, I guess because it's flatter. I sometimes forget how big it is."
"I can do it. If she can I can." She said and tried again with only a little more luck.
Victor let her continue pitifully like a cat trying to take a horse, until she finally backed off.
"Well I guess you gotta have practice or something. Don't worry about it." He said moving to put it away. Taris' performance was sadly par for the course.
"That must suck to not be guaranteed a good fuck. I was always jealous about that with guys, they always get off."
"Ya, I guess it changed my outlook on sex too. I'm not always out trying to get my dick wet since it's rare on the first night without lots of preparation." Victor said closing up his pants. "I became more selective because sex was a process instead of an event."
Taris stopped him as he wriggled and tried to get out. "Wait." She stood and pulled down her shorts. "I can do this."
Her pussy was bald and from below he could see how much ass cheeks hung out from behind her.
"Not unless you have sex frequently." Victor watched her straddle him. "You know it takes two nights in a row to open a girl up…you see it's like a chair it won't fit." His cock could only nudge her hole. Parts like the corner, or sides of the tip went in, but not the whole thing. "Don't bounce." He said before she hurt them both.
She looked desperate. "I can't tell people I let a good guy get away cause his cock was too big."
Victor smiled. "You don't have too."
"The girls… at work… already… know about you, stud." Taris popped him in and froze. "Oh shit."
Victor watched her. Her pussy wasn't wet enough but it was starting to relax. "Yes, it gets better the more you move."
She looked down at him scared. "I don't think I can."
Victor shrugged. "Allow me."
Victor slid back further in the kitchen as she crab-walked over him, then he sat up pulled her legs up, and started to roll them over.
With her legs on his shoulders, he slowly thrust into her. Like magic, her body opened up and stretched under his weight. "You're not going to…Slow down." Taris protested. "Slaa..Naaa…" She came as her body went into crisis mode.
After only a few thrusts, and a few inches gained, she tried to stop him after having came twice. "I'm sorry but please don't. Oh god! You're gonna kill me."
"They all say that."
Taris fidgeted in a panic. "No I mean…Aaaarugh aaaaahhh." She came loudly as her pussy tried to squeeze him. "Damn it, just stop. Please, please, I already came already." She pleaded.
Victor knew what he was doing as he broke her in. His strokes were one long six short, and under him, Taris' helpless pussy gushed numerous times with seemingly every stroke as she gibbered and clutched onto him.
Finally, the last stroke touched her hips to his, long after her cervix had been nudged aside.
Victor looked down at the helpless quivering creature below him as it twitched and shivered in sweat. "Now, I think you're done." He said pulling out of her. It was a waste, but she couldn't have lasted with him to the grand finale.
"Aarraahh?" she gargled as he pulled off of her.
"Just rest and you'll be back to what men expect in a week I think." He said looking down at her. Victor checked her faucet quickly before leaving. "Oh ya, your sink works."

Favor In Locating Comps
I had an interesting discussion with a fellow appraiser last week about provenance and determining provenance premiums. I offered to ask AW Blog readers if they had any documented sales information (either retail or auction) of furniture which was once owned by one of the top five or ten American Colonial era historical figures . He is looking for comps on furniture once owned by such figures as Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Madison, Hamilton, etc.

The company behind Way of the Exploding Fist and Fighting Warrior also tried its hand at wrestling, with this game claiming to be the first 3D combat sports game, in which you can avoid the opponent by moving up or down the screen as well as left or right.Like any fighting game worth its salt, the game can be played with one or two players. In one-player mode there are 10 opponents to take on in sequence.
The moves on offer include almost everything you'd find in real wrestling (and I don't mean WWE) - piledrivers, arm twists, body slams and turnbuckle flies, all of which are fully animated. The whole experience includes detailed multi-colour graphics and a full rock soundtrack.
There are no Apple II user screenshots for this game.

"Interest groups in California have been sliced so thinly and all of them have a seat at the table. This also gives each one of the groups a veto power over legislation. This leads [to] a chronic inability for our state government to produce results. It can't keep up with the real world."

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola will rotate his squad against Augsburg to ensure his side are ready for Manchester United next week.
Bayern return to league action on Saturday with a trip to their local rivals, as they aim to end a two-match winless run.
A 3-3 Bundesliga draw against Hoffenheim was followed by a 1-1 stalemate at Old Trafford in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.
Bayern have already won the Bundesliga title and with that in mind, Guardiola will rest some players ahead of the second leg against the Premier League champions.
"Augsburg is a very, very important game, but the match on Wednesday against Manchester is even more important," he said at a press conference on Friday.
"I'm going to rotate the team and the squad a little bit, we can try out a few things ahead of the United match.
"(But) it has to be a fair competition and we must show respect to our opponents, so we'll try and win the game."

Prior to David Cameron's highly publicised address to the Conservative conference, the audience heard from David Jones, the Secretary of State for Wales. I fear there are people in this country who will go through their entire lives without knowing that there is a Conservative member of the government called David Jones, let alone hearing a David Jones speech.
The most interesting claim in this much unreported peroration is that the rail link to Swansea is to be electrified. "Contrast that with Labour's 13 years in power, when Wales remained the only country in Europe, apart from Albania, without a single centimetre of electrified track," Mr Jones added.
I am not sure this claim is actually true. The little princedom of Monaco has just one railway station served by a short piece of track connecting it to Nice: I did not think that was electrified – but doubtless some geek out there will tell me that it is. And as far as I know, there is no rail track of any description running through the Vatican City. But leaving aside such quibbles, I will file that comparison between Wales and Albania under 'Fascinating Things I have Learnt from David Jones'.
You might want to 'go your own way', Mr Cameron
David Cameron left the conference stage to the sound of the old Fleetwood Mac hit "Don't Stop".
Recorded in 1977, the song was in constant use during Bill Clinton's triumphant presidential campaign in 1992. President Clinton even persuaded the band to reform for his inaugural ball the following year, and the song continues to accompany his appearances at Democrat National Conventions to this day.
I can understand why David Cameron might want a touch of the Clinton magic, but if he must use a Fleetwood Mac number as his theme tune, would not "Shake Your Money Maker" be more Tory?
Keep your friends close, your degenerates closer
The Daily Mail has taken a mixed attitude to the notorious former Downing Street spinner, Damian McBride.
On the one hand, they paid handsomely for McBride's memoirs and cited his claim that Ed Miliband is "obsessed" with his father, Ralph, as if McBride were the epitome of trustworthy sources.
But further down the same editorial attacking Ed Miliband and his father, they pronounced that the Labour leader's "close involvement with degenerates such as Damian McBride gives him scant right to claim the moral high ground on anything."
Anyway, here is some good news for the boys at the Mail: just when the going is tough, the 'moral degenerate' has risen to their defence. "The Ralph Miliband stuff is wrong, but to condemn an entire paper for it – and by extension its readers – is equally wrong and daft," McBride tweeted.
When in doubt, just ask an idiot
And as the Daily Mail trawled the social media looking for someone they could quote in their defence, whom should they alight on but an individual they call 'Dan Hodges, Labour Blogger' who thought that their denunciation of Ralph Miliband was "fair."
For the record, Hodges is not a 'Labour' blogger. His mother is the Labour MP, Glenda Jackson, and he used to be in the Labour Party, but he left in August, and earns a living by attacking Ed Miliband.
I note that the Mail has latched on to Lenin's phrase 'useful idiot' this week. If a right-wing newspaper wants to quote this particular blogger again, they could perhaps call him 'Dan Hodges, Useful Idiot.'
Larry: the cat who got the... mice, apparently
To my shame, I have defamed an occupant of 10 Downing Street.
In my Diary earlier this week, I described Larry the cat, who was introduced to Downing Street in 2011 to clear the building of mice, as "too lazy for the task". I based this comment on a series of frankly negative briefings by Downing Street spinners about Larry's allegedly unsatisfactory record during his first months in residence.
However, I am informed by Downing Street that Larry has caught four mice in the past two weeks. On that basis I have no hesitation in withdrawing the word 'lazy' as applied to the feline who is – to me at least, from hereon – 'Larry the Downing Street Mouser'.

text: RYN » Topics » ITEM 2-PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANYS AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO IMPLEMENT MAJORITY VOTING FOR DIRECTORSThis excerpt taken from the RYN DEF 14A filed Apr 9, 2007. ITEM 2PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANYS AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO IMPLEMENT MAJORITY VOTING FOR DIRECTORS Current Standard And Background The North Carolina Business Corporation Act provides that unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Incorporation, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. As our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (our Articles of Incorporation) are silent on this issue, the plurality standard applies, and director nominees with the most votes cast in their favor are elected, regardless of the number of withheld votes. Over the past few years, shareholders of many public companies have urged that in order to be elected directors should receive a majority of the votes cast in favor of their election, rather than the generally applicable plurality standard. In response, a number of public companies have adopted majority voting either through charter or bylaw amendments requiring a majority vote standard and/or bylaw or corporate governance policies requiring that a director not receiving a majority vote submit his or her resignation from the board. The resignation bylaw, policy or guideline is designed to deal with, among other things, state law holdover provisions such as those applicable in North Carolina that provide a director shall remain in office until his or her successor is elected, even if the director has not received a vote sufficient for re-election. After discussion with certain shareholders, the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors carefully deliberated the advantages and disadvantages of adopting a majority vote standard and concluded that the majority vote standard is in the best interest of our shareholders as it (i) ensures that only directors with broad acceptability among the voting shareholders will be seated on the Board and (ii) enhances the accountability of 41 Table of Contentseach Board member to the shareholders. Having a majority voting standard would not have changed the outcome of any of our prior director elections because our director nominees have, in each election, received vote totals exceeding a majority of the votes cast. The Board of Directors has adopted, and now recommends shareholder approval of, a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to require that candidates in uncontested elections for director receive a majority of the votes cast in order to be elected. In contested elections where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the vote standard would continue to be a plurality of votes cast. Amendment Of Articles Of Incorporation Under North Carolina law, a standard other than a plurality may only be used if it is specified in the Articles of Incorporation. If the amendment is approved, a new Section (b) of Article V of our Articles of Incorporation will be added to read as follows: (b) Except as shall be otherwise permitted or authorized by these Articles of Incorporation, each director shall be elected by a vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a vote of the plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted for a director must exceed the number of votes cast against that director. Existing Sections (b) and (c) of Article V will be renamed Sections (c) and (d) respectively. If approved, this amendment will become effective upon the filing of Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of North Carolina. We would make such a filing promptly after approval of the proposal at the Annual Meeting. The new standard would then be applicable to the election of directors at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, if this amendment is approved (and the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected), the proxy card for the 2008 Annual Meeting would be modified such that shareholders would be able to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting with respect to each director. Currently, the proxy card allows shareholders to either vote for a director or to withhold voting for such director. New Corporate Governance Principle Under the holdover provisions of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, a director continues to serve in office until his or her successor is elected or until there is a decrease in the number of directors, even if the director does not receive the required vote. To address the issue of holdover directors if the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation is adopted, the Board of Directors has approved a new provision of its Corporate Governance Principles. This provision will become effective upon filing of the Articles of Amendment described above, assuming shareholder approval of the amendment, and does not require any shareholder action. The new Corporate Governance Principle will require that if an incumbent director is nominated but not re-elected (i.e., does not receive the required majority vote), the director shall tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Principle will require the Nominating Committee to recommend to the full Board of Directors whether or not to accept the resignation and will require the Board to act on the recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and rationale within 90 days after receipt of the tendered resignation. Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this provision would not participate in the Nominating Committee recommendation or Board action regarding whether to accept the resignation offer. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANYS AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO IMPLEMENT MAJORITY VOTING FOR DIRECTORS. 42 Table of Contents |

Ashton Heritage Puro Sol Belicoso No. 2
Cameroon wrapper had long been the golden ring just out of the reach of Ashton brand owner Robert Levin. The Fuente family made virtually all of his cigars, and the Cameroon leaf it received from legendary grower and Levin friend Rick Meerapfel was earmarked for Fuente's Hemingway, Don Carlos and other Arturo Fuente cigars. Recently, Levin was able to get just enough of the toothy leaf to create the Ashton Heritage Puro Sol, using a blend created by Carlos Fuente Sr. The cigar was a throwback—Levin had the cigar world thinking ultra-powerful to duplicate his Ashton VSG, but the Puro Sol was all balance and elegance. The line has four sizes, the best of which is the Belicoso No. 2, a short figurado that measures 4 7/8 inches by 49 ring.

Editor in Chief | Area Advisors | Articles and Contributors
Management is the process of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling an organization's financial, physical, human, and information resources in ways intended to achieve and maintain organizational effectiveness. Because the business world exists in a dynamic and fluid environment, the essential elements, processes, and functions (and the interrelationships among these) that comprise management are subject to constant change. It is therefore critical that students, scholars, and professionals stay abreast of new theoretical ideas, new interpretations, and new empirical findings, but the vast array of unpredictable and uncontrollable variables makes it difficult to find the best current information. Oxford Bibliographies in Management will offer students and researchers alike a reliable, up-to-date, and authoritative guide to the best literature in the field.
Editor in ChiefRicky W. Griffin is Distinguished Professor of Management and holds the Blocker Chair in Business in Mays Business School at Texas A&M University. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Houston in 1978, he joined the faculty at the University of Missouri for three years before moving to Texas A&M in 1981. His research on task design and dysfunctional work behavior has appeared in Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Management and other outlets. He also served as Editor of the Journal of Management. He has been Program Chair and Division Chair of the Organizational Behavior Division and Program Chair of the Research Methods Division of the Academy, Program Chair and President of the Southwest Academy of Management, and a member of the Board of the Southern Management Association. He is a Fellow of both the Academy of Management and the Southern Management Association. |

Location has always played a huge role in Woody Allen's films, and nine out of ten times it's been Manhattan. With Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the 72-year-old director took an unlikely detour to Spain and came back with his freshest film in years. Gone is the hyperkinetic ragtime-tinged jazz that scored classics Sleeper and Bananas. In its place we have an inspired compilation of Spanish guitar music, "reflecting the feeling of Spain or certainly Barcelona as I've portrayed it," Allen writes.
Only two tracks feature vocals—"Barcelona" and "La Ley Del Retiro", both by Giulia y los Tellari—and they are fabulous. The former becomes a sort of quirky theme song that builds to the most irresistible climax of wah-wah harmonica and Spanish chanting. Like the film, it captures both humor and sexuality. The latter is a sultry, instrumentally dense waltz that perfectly soundtracks the film's most intense love scene. I don't know Spanish, but the singer's raspy moans are evocative enough. The rest of the album explores the gorgeously intimate flamenco solos that moved Rebecca Hall's character in the film ("Granada", "El Noi De La Mare"), as well as the bouncier Mexican jams that so richly captured this uniquely Spanish ambiance. That said, this soundtrack flows so freely on its own merit—seeing the film is no prerequisite.

Stumpy the Mouse Lyrics
Artist: Bif Naked
Album: Okenspay Ordway I
I had Cinderella complex with the boys,
and ballet class gave me some poise,
I've never ever lied to you or said anything that was untrue.
I constantly searched for one true god,
my icy gaze finally thawed.
I sit before you full of ome,
in my mouse infested home.
One morning I awoke for work,
decided my roomate was a jerk.
He wanted to rid us of rodents,
on mouse traps--money he spent.
He placed them in the kitchen there,
under the sink, behind the stairs.
I walked into the bath to do the washing thang
and from the kitchen I heard a klang.
I screaming mouse had caught his leg,
in a mouse trap on this day.
Squeaking, screaming wailing mouse
his rodent cries filled this house.
I started crying cuz,
I couldn't stand the roomate's extermination plan.
I ran to the kitchen in my towel,
with tear-stained cheeks, I was soaking his howls.
The little mouse dragged leg and trap,
behind the stove I couldn't get at.
I froze and didn't' make a sound
he did the same so he couldn't be found.
but as soon as I did take a step,
he screamed and tried to drag his trap.
My bawling in the commotion woke,
my sleeping roomate he was choked.
I told him what was happening here,
and I couldn't hold back my tears.
I'll take care of it, he said with a smirk,
now get going or you'll be late fer work.
He was right. I had to go.
and we couldn't help the mouse under the stove.
it was gas, attached to the wall,
when pulled the explosion would not be small.
All day at work I cried and felt bad,
and at my roomate I was mad.
I didn't mind the holes in our bread,
or the mouse shit in my bed.
He wanted them out, he was in a flap,
he insisted on buying and setting the traps.
I was young and dumb and I said "okay",
but I never thought I'd feel this way.
To hear the mouse scream is what killed me,
I felt like a hunter, a killing machine!
I couldn't believe I went along with the plan,
to get the pests and scorch the land.
I raced home from work really fast,
so I could help the little mouse at last.
My roomate was ontop of the stove,
trying with a broom handle to knock the trap over.
I had the stove leaning forward,
but not too far--we'd blow up for sure!
Out slid the horrible mouse trap and question-
nothing but a mouse foot left on.
He chewed his leg off - the little mouse!
and was limping around my fucking house.
I was horrified, I must admit.
again I cried and felt like shit
I looked at my roomate and my temper snapped!
I put an end to the evil mousetraps.
"too fucking bad!" I had to say,
if yer inconvenienced living this way.
we'll keep bread and cereal in the fridge,
and on everything else, we'll have tight lids.
There's no way I could hurt another being,
except a cockroach (cuz they have no feelings).
My roomate had to agree,
cuz he saw how it all affected me.
From that day on our little house,
we shared with stumpy, our little pet mouse.
and stumpy had friends, lotsa them.
but I didn't care. I wouldn't give in!
I loved living in harmony,
with my roomate, his girlfriends, stumpy, and me.

Where's My Refund?
A tax refund is issued when the amount of income tax that you paid is more than what you actually owed for that year. Like many taxpayers, after you file your tax return you may find yourself asking one very important question: Where's my refund? Rather than sit back and hope that your refund is on its way, there are things you can do to find out where it is.
The IRS has an electronic system in place, called "Where's My Refund? – It's Quick, Easy, and Secure." This is an online tool that can help you determine the status of your tax refund without having to deal with anybody on the phone. The Where's My Refund? system also helps the IRS to reduce the number of phone calls they receive from confused taxpayers looking for their refunds.
If you filed electronically, you will receive information about your refund within 72 hours after the IRS acknowledges receipt of your e-filed tax return. If you file by paper mail, it will take the IRS longer to process your tax return and you will not able to use the Where's My Refund? system for at least 3 weeks. This is another reason why e-filing has become so common among taxpayers.
To use the Where's My Refund? tool, you will need several key pieces of information from your personal income tax return ― this includes your filing status, Social Security Number, and the exact dollar amount of your tax refund. Without this information, you cannot use the Where's My Refund? system, and you will probably have to wait and hope that your refund arrives soon enough.
If your tax refund was returned to the IRS by the Post Office, you may be able to change your address using the Where's My Refund? system. It is very important to make sure that the IRS has your correct address on file, or the arrival of your refund will be delayed.
For taxpayers whose refunds were lost or stolen, they are not out of luck either. The IRS allows you to request a replacement check within 28 days after your original refund was mailed out. However, don't jump the gun and assume that your check disappeared just because a few weeks have elapsed. Keep in mind that many others are trying to find out where their refunds are as well, and the Post Office can get extremely busy during tax season.

Priority is claimed to German Patent Application DE 10 2008 015 005.3,filed Mar. 19, 2008, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to a chuck-integrated force-measuring system for determining cutting forces at the cutting-tool tip of a rotating tool having at least one measuring sensor, as well as a measured-value processing station.
When working with machine tools, such as NC machines, the execution of a machining process, for example the cutting removal of material by turning, drilling, milling, broaching, etc., is reflected in the time sequence of specific physicalquantities, such as the cutting force and/or feed force. By recording and evaluating these quantities, the process can then be monitored with regard to the quality of the result (intelligent analysis of measurement signals). On this basis, it islikewise possible to control the process by considering specific, variable process parameters, such as speed, feed force, respectively feed rate, etc., in accordance with specific criteria, for example machining quality, machining time, etc., as well asin accordance with a combination of such criteria.
In this case, the force that is exerted at the machining point (or the cutting edge) of the tool on the workpiece is considered to be a particularly important, information-bearing physical quantity. It is important to know this cutting force asprecisely as possible in terms of magnitude and direction, also in the context of those machining methods which employ rotating spindles (for example, drilling, milling, etc.). Of primary importance in this context is the magnitude of the force--also ofinterest is the resulting direction in the fixed coordinate system.
A fundamental difficulty arises with regard to recording this force using measuring technology. The force is generated at the point of cutting engagement with an instantaneous magnitude and direction that are dependent on the cutting geometryand the control thereof relative to the workpiece surface and the contour thereof.
A complete acquisition of the resulting force requires determining the same in three directions in the fixed coordinate system. This can be accomplished theoretically due to the physical law of "actio=reactio," using the appropriate measuringsensors either on the workpiece or the tool. In practice, however, there are substantial differences in the measuring results.
From a technical standpoint, it is easily feasible to provide a mounting attachment to accommodate the measuring sensors on the workpiece. However, it is not economically practical in production practice since the workpiece must be clamped on aspecial measuring table having installed force sensors. Moreover, particularly in the context of dynamic forces, on the one hand, the mass of the workpiece functions as a low-pass filter which attenuates the higher-frequency signal content and, on theother hand, the necessarily finite mass of the measuring table falsifies the signal. Depending on the size of the masses involved, these effects limit the validity of the measurement to a specific frequency band or even preclude a direct analysiswithout having to first perform a complex model analysis of the entire system.
If the force measurement is carried out at the tool in order to avoid the above problems, the following difficulties arise:
Direct measurements using force sensors at the cutting-tool tip, for example, necessitate appropriate structural design measures for the machine tool. Thus, an appropriate installation space for the measuring technology is to be provided, whichis not sufficiently available when working with conventional machining equipment. Therefore, at the present time, these types of measurements are performed, at most, in highly specialized laboratory systems, which can only be used under very restrictiveconditions and, therefore, have only little practical significance.
Thus, from the related art in accordance with the enclosed FIG. 1, what is generally referred to as a tool-torque sensing system for drilling machines is known, which is composed of a rotor 60 that is attachable to the spindle of a tool holder,and of a stator 62 which is mounted in a contactless configuration around the rotor 60. The rotor 60 measures the torque that is applied to the rotating drilling tool and transmits the measured values in a contactless process to the stator 62. Moreover, it is optionally possible to also pick off the feed force at the tool holder spindle.
As is discernible from FIG. 1, the rotor 60 is located at the output spindle of the machine tool above the tool chuck. Thus, this related art also requires that an appropriate space be provided for attaching the rotor 60.
In the light of this related art, an object of the present invention is to provide a force-measuring system, in particular for machine tools having a rotating spindle, which will offer an enhanced functionality, for instance in terms of a morecomprehensive usability and more precise measuring results.
This objective may be achieved by a chuck-integrated force-measuring system having the features of the present invention. Accordingly, the central idea of the present invention is to place at least one measuring sensor, in the form of a strainsensor, on a tool holder of a machine tool. For this purpose, a measuring hub assembly is advantageously provided, which is insertable as an adapter piece or intermediate piece into the chuck of the machine tool and is designed with its own chuck forreceiving the tool, the at least one measuring sensor being integrated in the adapter piece.
Thus, the essential principle underlying the present invention is that the force sought is determined from the strains occurring in the tool holder. Strains resulting from bending and torsional moments arising from the force at the cutting-tooltip occur, namely, at the surface of the holder. However, these strains are not measured by the strain-measuring sensor directly at the cutting-tool holder, i.e., the chuck or the output spindle of the machine tool; rather, the strain-measuring sensorsare placed as an external component on a measuring hub assembly. The tool is inserted with a defined angular correlation into this hub assembly, while the measuring hub assembly, in turn, is accommodated by the clamping chuck of the machine toolspindle. The following advantages may be attained by employing this measure: The instantaneous force at the cutting-tool tip may be determined in terms of magnitude and direction by the strain sensing. The measuring hub assembly may be used for aplurality of different tools or machine tools. A cost and time savings is hereby derived. The machine dynamics at the clamping point of the tool are not substantially changed. The measuring accuracy is thereby enhanced. The measuring hub assemblydoes not require any installation space or any disturbing stator parts within the range of action of the machine spindles above the tool chuck.
The present invention is clarified in greater detail in the following on the basis of a preferred exemplary embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows the basic design of a measuring system for measuring torques at the output spindle of a drilling machine in accordance with the related art;
FIG. 2 shows the lateral view of a chuck-integrated force-measuring system in accordance with the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 shows a top plan view of a rotating hub assembly and induction coil of a chuck-integrated force-measuring system according to another embodiment of the present invention.
In accordance with FIG. 2, the chuck-integrated force-measuring system of the present invention is composed of a measuring hub assembly 1 which is equipped with a number of strain-measuring sensors 10, 12, 14 (shown schematically). In thiscontext, measuring hub assembly 1 is composed of an essentially cylindrical main body 2, to whose enveloping surface, the strain-measuring sensors are affixed. At the mutually opposing end faces of main body 2, on the one hand, an internal chuck 3 isconfigured for receiving a rotating tool 20, for example a drill or a milling cutter (shown schematically) and, on the other hand, an insert in the form of a cylindrical extension 4 is provided, which is insertable into a chuck 32 of a machine toolspindle 30. Thus, measuring hub assembly 1 constitutes an adapter piece or intermediate piece which is interposed in the torque or force output of a machine tool 34 onto the tool 20.
In accordance with the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a measured-value transmitting device 16, as well as an internal energy supply in the form of a battery 18 are accommodated in main body 2 of measuring hub assembly1. The measured-value transmitting device 16 includes an electrical circuit for preprocessing the signals emitted by the measuring sensors 10, 12, 14, as well as a transponder for the radio transmission of the preprocessed signals to a stationarysignal-processing station 40. As shown in a top plan view in FIG. 3, alternatively to the internal energy supply, it is also possible, however, for the electrical energy to be coupled in inductively through a corresponding arrangement of an inductioncoil 50 into rotating hub assembly 1. In this case, a stator part near measuring hub assembly 1 is necessary which is equipped with corresponding induction coil 50.
Overall, therefore, in its mass distribution and stiffness, measuring hub assembly 1 is designed in such a way that the total stiffness of the drivetrain of the machine spindle 30 is not substantially changed. Measuring errors may be herebysubstantially suppressed.
The signal-processing station 40, which is shown schematically in FIG. 2, has a receiver 42 which picks up the strain measurement signals emitted by measuring hub assembly 1. Moreover, the signal-processing station 40 is linked to the machinecontrol 44 and, in particular, to the speed control of the machine tool, in order to thereby obtain information on the angular position of the chuck that is internal to the machine. Alternatively or additionally, however, at least one permanent-signalor pulsed-signal transmitter, whose signal is recorded by a fixed sensor in response to maximally approaching the same, may be accommodated in measuring hub assembly 1, preferably on the periphery thereof. In this context, the number of signaltransmitters conforms with the temporal variations in the force in the spatially fixed system which are to be recorded.
As a basic principle, the measured strains are in a complex functional relationship with the instantaneous cutting force and may be described by a system of equations and determined in accordance therewith. However, the solution to thisequation is not readily apparent.
A force, which acts on a cutting-tool tip 22 constantly in terms of magnitude and position in the fixed coordinate system, occurs as a periodically changing variable having an initially unknown allocation to a fixed angular position due to therotation of the tool 20 at every possible measuring point on the tool 20, respectively of the co-rotating tool holder 26 (in this case, the measuring hub assembly 1). In the case of a force that is not constant in terms of spatial fixation, thisvariation in the mentioned periodic time function is mutually superposed at the tool 20.
Therefore, to obtain a unique solution to the preceding equation, it is necessary to define the instantaneous rotational position of the spindle using a specific clock-pulse rate which is tuned to the frequency range of the force in question. For this purpose, the mentioned signal transmitters are distributed over the periphery of the measuring hub assembly 1 at suitably predefined angular distances, and/or the selected angular positions are read out from the machine control.
However, due to the trigonometric functions involved, the system of equations, which may be formulated for the resulting force that is sought, is not linear. Even when fast computers in accordance with the current state of technologicaldevelopment are used, the computing time required to solve the non-linear system of equations is so long that it is not possible to solve the same in quasi real time in the manner required. For that reason, a numerical approximation method is applied todetermine the force from the measured strains. For this, what are commonly known as simulated neural networks are preferably used, as are already known from the related art. In this context, for a sufficient number of load cases, the relationshipbetween the force in terms of magnitude and direction and the corresponding magnitude of the measuring sensor signals is determined mathematically and/or empirically as a function of the angular position of the tool. A simulated neural network is thentrained using these cases. The network topology is designed in accordance with the desired accuracy of results.
Finally, in accordance with the generally known approach used in practical applications when working with simulated neural networks of this type, the signals output from the strain-measuring sensors are finally applied to the input of thealready trained network, and the corresponding force is queried in terms of magnitude and direction at the network output.
It is only through the use of simulated neural networks that the greatest share of the requisite computational work is first performed quasi "offline" prior to the practical use by the network training. Accordingly, in practical applications,the network query requires relatively little computing capacity. Thus, variable forces at the cutting tip may be determined with virtually any given accuracy within a frequency band that is relevant for assessing the drilling or milling process.
