Another ManbyGoldeniangel©
Nervously, Stan waited in his living room, waiting for his coworker Darnell to show up. 35 years old, he was 6' tall, just a little out of shape, thick blonde hair and blue eyes. Upstairs, Stan's wife Maria was finishing her make-up and also nervously glancing out the window waiting for Darnell. Under her short purple silk robe, she was completely naked, and very aware of it. 30 years old, she'd been married to Stan for five years, and still retained all of her good looks. 5'5", curvy with 34C breasts and a slim hourglass figure, her short light brown curls framed her face enchantingly. Red lips pursed under hazel eyes as she wondered what the coming night would bring.
Stan had always wondered what it would be like to watch his beautiful wife have sex with another man, he didn't know why he'd want to share someone as gorgeous and wonderful as she was, but the idea of watching someone else's dick in her pretty pink pussy got him hard in 2 seconds flat. Still, it wasn't a fantasy that he'd ever planned on fulfilling with her, not knowing how she'd take it for one, and unsure as to who he'd be able to trust to do it. Then, one day, he'd been at the company gym and had heard two other guy's talking about Darnell, a large black man who worked with all of them. Apparently, one of them had had the same fantasy Stan did, and had found out that Darnell willingly fucked other guy's wives on invitation to help fulfill those fantasies, this guy had then gotten in touch with Darnell and arranged an appointment. Stan had listened, getting harder by the minute as the conversation continued, talking about the incredible size of Darnell's dick and the amazing orgasms the guy's wife had. The guy was telling his friend that it had saved their marriage, re-fueling their sex life like nothing else. His wife appreciated him even more now, despite the fact that his dick wasn't as big as Darnell's. She'd said that the sex had been incredible, but what meant more to her now was having sex with the man that truly loved her. Apparently, for his birthday, he'd asked her to do have Darnell come back with a friend and have all three men do her at once.
Immediately, Stan had started researching Darnell, and found that everyone who had used the big man's services had come away from it with glowing remarks. Although Darnell occasionally charged, if the wife's looks was to his liking he wouldn't even do that. Stan found himself at the gym, looking at Darnell out of the corner of his eye, and was astonished at the size of his dick even when it was limp! Since Stan himself had a sizable 9" length, he wondered what it would look like to see that monster sliding between the sweet pussy lips of Maria... the darkness of the penis and Darnell's hands against his wife's creamy white body and her light pink pussy. He'd had to run to a stall and jerk off while the picture ran through his head.
He'd broached the topic with Maria, and although at first she'd protested loudly, eventually he'd worn her down. Most of her fears about it seemed to come from the thought that he'd get jealous or angry and leave her, and finally he got her to admit that the idea of him watching as she had sex with another guy did turn her on somewhat. However, she was adamant that he be there to watch, and even participate in some way if possible. She was deeply in love with her husband and wanted him there for all of it.
So it was finally the night, and Maria walked down the stairs to stand next to Stan in the living room, watching the headlights of Darnell's car as it pulled into the drive. He kissed his wife passionately as the big black man walked up to the front door, and whispered, "I love you."
Looking back into his blue eyes, she whispered, "I love you too."
He grinned at her and went to open the door for Darnell, as excited as a little boy at Christmas.
The big man stepped in, and smiled at Maria, very happy with the whole situation. When Stan had showed him a picture of his beautiful wife, Darnell had immediately told him that there would be absolutely no need for payment, he would provide his services with pleasure. Darnell was very careful never to break up a marriage, or to sleep with any of the wives behind their husband's backs, but he did take a certain pleasure in being about to fuck these gorgeous, otherwise usually unattainable women.
"Darnell, this is my wife Maria, Maria, this is Darnell," Stand stood between them, nervous but still very excited.
"Hello Maria," Darnell had a deep basso voice that made her want to shiver as she looked up at him, at 6'2" he was very tall and looked very big and imposing.
"Hi." her voice was barely above a whisper.
Moving things along, Stan showed the way upstairs as Darnell's eyes traveled along Maria's legs as the short robe fluttered around her body. Stan was getting hard just at the look of desire in Darnell's eyes as the other man looked at his wife.
Upstairs, Darnell and Stan undressed, Maria stood uncertainly as Darnell stepped in front of her and slowly pulled the robe from her shoulders. His long black dick slowly started to swell as he looked over her curvy body, Maria gasped at the size of it, almost as thick as her wrist it was at least 12" long with a large purplish head and big black balls hanging like fruit underneath it. Stan placed his hand on his own dick as he Darnell tenderly leaned forward and kissed Maria, his black hands sliding down the white flesh of her back to the firm curves of her ass. Stroking, Stan watched excitedly as the large hands of the other man caressed her ass, his tongue in her mouth.
Stan settled himself on the bed as arranged, and Darnell pulled away from the kiss, allowing Maria to climb onto the bed and settle herself between Stan's legs, her brown hair spreading across his stomach as she leaned back against him. The big black man kneeled between her open thighs and lowered his mouth to her breast, Stan watching avidly as Maria's mouth opened in a surprised "O" as the other man suckled on her nipple. His dick pushed wetly against her back as he watched the other man's lips around her pink pert bud, pre-cum making it slick against her skin. Keeping his large black hands on the creamy flesh of her breasts, Darnell's fingers kneaded the flesh as his mouth lowered itself to the spread lips of her pink pussy.
Maria sighed and wriggled a little in pleasure as the big man manipulated her body, her husband a supportive presence behind her. Despite her trepidation, she could feel Stan's dick on her back, and it seemed harder than it ever had before. This served to reassure her that this was definitely something he wanted and that he was enjoying the situation immensely. When her pussy was sloppy wet, Darnell looked over her shoulder at Stan.
"Hold her open," was all he said, immediately Stan pushed his wife's body down a little, so that her head was resting on his thigh, and he grasped each of her ankles in a hand, spreading her legs wide in the air as Darnell nestled the head of his purplish dick in the pink folds of Maria's pussy. Holding his wife open, so that another man could ravish her, Maria could see the pre-cum actually dripping down Stan's dick as his face avidly watched the purplish head of Darnell's cock push into her hole.
It seemed to go on forever, a big black log stretching open her pussy. As it slid and slid, Maria was panting with exertion, the incredible stretching of her pussy making her body heave and buck a little as her husband kept her spread wide. Halfway in, Darnell began to work his dick in and out of her pussy, so that Stan could see her juices covering his dick as he pulled it out and then pushed more of it in, her pussy lips looked like an overstuffed hot dog bun as he worked more and more of the long sausage into it. Maria began to moan as he began pushing into places that had never been opened before, seeing that he still had 2 or 3 inches to push into her before he'd hit bottom. She arched her back and strained as the last few inches slid home, her body trying to adjust to the monstrous invader.
As Darnell began to pull his dick slowly out of her pussy before slamming it back in, Stan let go over her legs and started to fondle her breasts, pinching the pink jutting nipples. Maria moaned as her pussy was pounded, the thick black cock bringing wave after wave of pleasure as it reached unexplored depths of her body, her husband's hands skillfully manipulating her nipples and breasts. It didn't take very long before she started to cum, Darnell continuing to pound her open cunt as her wail got higher and higher, her orgasm going on and on.
Eventually her stream of obscenities became a wordless cry of pleasure as Darnell's cock relentlessly plunged over and over into her pussy, and her orgasm reached an almost painful state as his cock continued to pound the sensitized flesh of her pussy. Finally, as Stan's excited dick finally began shooting spurts of white cum over her breasts and he continued to play with them, she slumped back in his arms, completely exhausted by the intense throes of her orgasm.
Darnell slowed for a moment, looking at them, "Is there anything else you want me to do before I cum?"
For a moment Stan wanted to see his wife try to take the long black cock up her tight little ass, but looking down at her face he thought she might have had all she could take, "No," his voice was still heavy with lust despite the fact that he'd just cum across his wife's tits while another man fucked her, "Just pound her and cum in her pussy."
Darnell grinned, that he could definitely do. Looking down at the exhausted, cum covered beauty, he began a pace of bruising thrusts into her overstimulated pussy. The young wife wailed as his black cock slammed into her over and over, and she was on the brink of orgasm again as he finally let loose his load into her pussy, spurt after spurt filling the overworked hole with creamy white cum. Darnell pulled out as Maria quivered, her body only seconds away from another intense climax.
Grinning at Stan, "She's all yours buddy."
He left as Stan thrust between his wife's legs, shoving his dick where another man's had already been. Stan was hard as a rock again as his cock shoved into the sloppy mess of his wife's and Darnell's cum, and he pounded her harder than he ever had in his life. Maria's orgasm peaked as her husband slammed his body against her, and she let out another wordless wail as pleasure crashed over her while her husband added his own load of cum to her pussy.
Darnell smiled as he left the house, hearing Maria's voice rising in yet another wail as Stan continued to pound her pussy. He was still hard despite having cum twice, just from envisioning the intoxicating picture of that big black cock splitting his wife's delicate pink pussy.

Racist much?

Racist bastard. Hope you get some karma.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Bob Sacamano, Dec 23, 2005.
quick, athletic, mean streak
I would pass on him in the first for a better tackle
More of a LT and not likely to get much bigger.
I'd take a look at him as a guard.
He's one of my favorite players in this year's draft. I saw him in last year's bowl game vs Louisville and was really impressed. I've never seen a lineman move as well as him, save for Randall McDaniel from the 90's (Vikings).
I feel better about him than some of the more highly touted OTs that are currently ranked ahead of him.
His team plays Boston College on Dec 28. Check him out if you get a chance. How he does vs Kiwanuka will go a long way toward his rankings.
...and he's from the North Pole. Merry Christmas. :laugh2:

I went to a herbalist with my wife for her Endo and I left with propolis and some herbs.
I know endo can not be cured by modern medicine, so I have my doubts with propolis tea.
Any validity to this subscription?
I went to a herbalist with my wife for her Endo and I left with propolis and some herbs.
I know endo can not be cured by modern medicine, so I have my doubts with propolis tea.
Any validity to this subscription?
I did a google for "+endometriosis +propolis" and came up with a few links you might like to check out.
The most informative link I found on the disease and it's treatments both conventional and non-conventional is this one
This one and others give hope for infertility with endometriosis using propolis
And this is a link to the google search results
My wife has a disease that has pretty much stumped modern medicine. So far bee stings have offered the only imediate pain relief available outside of the emergency room and an herbal tea(from a readily available commercial source) and propolis has allowed her to cut her pain medecines in half. I'm not sure why I'm a believer but I am!
The amazing thing about all the bee products is that they help NORMALIZE the body functions. If one is too fat, they help normalize the weight. If one is too skinny, they help normalize the store of fat (some of which is essential and desirable).
Apiary products (I use all of them!) help regulate everything. Homeostasis is the word describing how our chemistry is constantly working to keep everything balanced between two extremes.
Health is really about energy. Where there is energy, activity, joy and rest, the body will heal and maintain itself beautifully. When distress comes our way, when we wander off into bad habits etc., disease is close by, but the apiary products always help us normalize our lifestyles if we have the determination to do so.
While the 'magic' is not necessarily in the products (as in specific chemicals to address specific conditions of imbalance) there is always a natural balance in Apiary Products that point us in the remedial direction, but it is our change of mindset, our hope, positive attitude and our defeat of the fears, that performs the greatest magic. It is indeed, our own inherent natural bodily functions that do the healing. We all have it! It was born in us! It is not necessary to import it from afar! It does not cost money nor is it scarce.
Anything stronger or more potent than what is found in nature will have a skull and crossbones on the label. These products may be dramatic in their effect, but tend to only perpetuate the lifestyle imbalances we have. The apiary products help us normalise our metabolism without massive swings back and forth across the centre line.
A fully energised body is the aim of our subconscious mind. A body full of energy cannot and will not harbor disease. The frequent use of apiary products will promote good energy production (from the food we eat) and that energy will heal us and keep us well. It matters little which disease, which organ, which symptom we have, a normalised metabolism and a healthy mindset will cure it! All chronic diseases are symptoms of low energy.
The Bee works for me.
Love your insight. Propolis has "cured" my wife and my cold sores.
I want it in gum form.
Gum would be a really interesting thing for propolis but I have never seen any.
I will keep my eyes open.

PENDLETON, Oregon, - Members of the Pendleton Seventh-day Adventist Church are accepting and sorting donations of furniture and household goods for the more than 50 people who lost everything in a terrific apartment fire in Pendleton Saturday, July 7.
According to Linda Ruud, project coordinator, "We have sorted and inventoried everything and helped many people so far."
Ruud says it has been amazing to see the generous outpouring of the members and the community to help the homeless families. The local Red Lion Inn sent over 300 fitted and top sheets long with many comforters. There was a little girl, about 3 years old, who came in with her mother to bring some items to donate. She was holding a stuffed bunny and wanted to give it to someone.
The displaced people the church has helped have been appreciative. "Even though they are still in a state of shock and tears," says Ruud, "They are so thankful."
The Pendleton Adventist church is in constant contact with a neighboring Methodist church who is providing clothes and food. For more information about how to donate call 541-276-0882.
The blaze, which started about 3 p.m. Saturday from an out-of-control wildfire, completely destroyed 16 apartments in a large complex on Saturday afternoon. At least 50-75 people were displaced by the fire and are now homeless, according to apartment manager Teri Prock.
There were no reported injuries from the fire.

Col. Jane Prather's boots have hit American soil, returning after a grueling one-year deployment, during which she served as the deputy commander for the Medical Task Force-East in Bagram, which provides medical services for roughly 60 percent of the U.S. service members in Afghanistan.
A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Prather has been in the service for 25 years: 18 months on active duty; the rest in reserves. In her civilian job, she is the service line director for the Center for Women's health at NorthBay Healthcare.
I've never met her, but was directed to her blog (http://newsroom.northbay.org/blogs/homefront/) and subsequently e-mailed her to pose some questions of my own regarding her deployment and her military duties.
Because of my own involvement with greeting the wounded warriors who pass through Travis Air Force Base and supporting the many members of the Air Force who have deployed to serve in a medical capacity in Afghanistan, I was interested to learn more about the front lines of medical care and the soldiers and airman who provide it.
More important, I wanted to know how someone in a leadership position guides and mentors those under her command in a deployed environment. My questions were not detail-specific, so as to avoid challenges with operational security issues, but were more general in nature.
From Prather, I learned that a typical day began at 4 a.m. She described her job as office work, for the most part, providing command and control for the Task Force. She also spent time out in the field, visiting medical personnel in forward surgical teams and preventive medicine, medical logistic and veterinarian teams. While no day was ever the same, there were about four things she could count on doing every day: eating, sleeping, working and working out.
To keep her morale high and her outlook positive, she said, she drew strength from the encouragement she received from home and from her soldiers and their professionalism. She said the most rewarding of her duties was providing leadership to the soldiers she was responsible for. Those same soldiers as the ones saving the lives of our wounded warriors.
She will tell you that it is difficult being away from home and having no control over your own environment, and that some of the toughest challenges she and her soldiers faced was the loss of a patient, or sending home the wounded, especially with amputations.
Prather will also tell you that the health care being provided in Afghanistan is comparable to any trauma center in the United States, and that service members are the most honorable of Americans. She emphasized that the backing of the American public is critical to every service member and is absolutely appreciated. She said it has been her absolutely privilege to serve the brave Americas fighting over there.
Today, I salute Col. Jane Prather and the commitment of hundreds of medical personnel who understand the true meaning of duty. Those wounded in the field of battle may never know the names of the people who took care of them, but they will know that they were cared for by some truly selfless Americans.
Welcome home!

Open Forum: Cuts seem outrageously immoral
The Bush tax cuts to the rich in 2010 cost us $900 billion and now the Republicans want to give them another cut in taxes.
The budget-cutting Republicans in Congress like to talk about morality but they have a strange way of showing it. What kind of morality is it to cut programs for the needy among us and not mention subsidies for the oil industry who are making record profits, welfare subsidies to the beef industry, welfare subsidies for the tobacco industry, subsidies to the timber industry, subsidies to the ethanol industry, to name a few. To take funding from the elderly, disabled and the poor and give vast sums of money to people who neither need or deserve it seems outrageously immoral.

Category: 1950s names
By Linda Rosenkrantz
Certain comeback kids have been getting a lot of buzz lately—names like Elsa and Amelia and Elias and Tobias, all of which have that nice vintage 19th century vibe. But there's another group of names inching their way back that you might find a bit more surprising. Mostly midcentury mom and dad names, they are flouting the Hundred-Year Rule, returning way before their expected due dates.
Here are a dozen prime examples:
Vintage names have been cool for a while now, but old school nicknames are just starting to come into their own.
The Brits have led the way on the revival of the retro nickname, with their fashionable little Alfies and Evies, Freddys and Teddys — though Teddy just might be a girl.
Especially fresh on this side of the pond are the old school nicknames for boys: We've long loved Ned and Joe and Hank, but we are newly fond of such choices as Ray and Hal, Walt and Monty.
For girls, names that are just beginning to awake from a long slumber sound especially fetching: Dottie, Betty, Lou.
Using one of these new old nicknames for your child can be a way to give a fresh spin to a classic name, to distinguish a little girl from her namesake grandma, or to set your Henry apart from the five others on the block.
Here, a roundup of classic and vintage names and their old school nicknames.
Beatrice or Beatrix – Bea or Trixie
Dorothea or Dorothy — Dory or Dottie
One of my favorite poems, for reasons that will soon be obvious, is called "Mourning the Dying American Female Names," by Hunt Hawkins. You can read the whole poem here, but I'll give you a few choice lines:
Many names are almost gone: Gertrude, Myrtle,
Agnes, Bernice, Hortense, Edna, Doris, and Hilda,
They were wide women, cotton-clothed, early rising.
You had to move your mouth to say their names,
and they meant strength, speak, battle, and victory.
While many of the names Hawkins mourns do indeed seem to be dying, a few he goes on to mention — Ada, Florence, and Edith— are stirring back to life.
But then there are the new names headed toward obscurity, my own among them.
There's a certain species of girls' names that we've referred to in our books as freckle-faced, pigtailed and button-nosed: they're the kind of character names inhabited by Shirley Temple as a curly-haired moppet, and Judy Garland as a wide-eyed, innocent teen, as well as starring in dozens of old popular songs. Basically nickname names that have long stood on their own, none can be found any longer in the current Top 1000 — though one of them ranked as high as Number 31 in the 1930's.
They've been gone a long time, but they still project a lot of spunk, and so, with the revival of nickname names in general we're wondering if any of these could get their youthful mojo back.
We're talking about:
Gone since 1995; Highest rating: Number 228 in 1959
Associations: Betsy Ross, Betsy Wetsy doll, Sweet Betsy from Pike, Betsey Johnson
Betsy originated as a combination of other classic pet forms of Elizabeth—Betty, Beth and Bessie, and makes appearances in two Dickens novels—Pickwick Papers and David Copperfield. The 'B' Elizabeth nicknames were superseded by the 'L' ones– Liz, Lizzie, Liza and Lisa— but maybe now might be the time for a switch back.
Gone since 1975; Highest rating: 52 in 1936 and 1941
Associations: Patsy (born Virginia) Cline, Patsy (born Patricia) Kensit, numerous Italian and Irish restaurants and bars
Patsy was replaced as a Patricia nickname first by Pat, then Patty, then Tricia/Tricia, then Trish. Probably the least likely candidate for a comeback.
Gone since 1989; Highest rating: 31 in 1937
Associations: Peggy Lee, Peggy Sue Got Married, Peggy (born Margaret) Olson on Mad Men
Peggy, a pet form of Margaret, is the one that's climbed the highest of all these names. Perky and pure, Peggy was the perfect date for the prom—in 1953. In later decades it's been traded in for Maggie.
I don't you know if you've noticed a growing trendlet—at least among celebrities—for what we might call generic-boy-nickname-names. In other words, these aren't specific short forms like Charlie or Archie, but ol- timey macho boy tags like Buddy and Buster.
In the recent past, we've seen Noel Gallagher's Sonny, a choice shared by British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor—as well as Adam Sandler's daughter Sunny; Jamie Oliver's Buddy Bear Maurice; Michele Hicks and Jonny Lee Miller's Buster Timothy; the three Aces of Natalie Appleton, Tom Dumont, and Jennie Finch and Casey Daigle; the two Dukes of Diane Keaton and Justine Bateman; and the Junior of Peter Andre and Katie Price.
We can't help wondering if this is yet another offshoot of the midcentury Mad Men phenomenon, bringing us back to the days of Father Knows Best's Bud (birth name James Anderson, Jr.) and J. D. Salinger's Buddy Glass (real name Webb Gallagher Glass), and Marlon Brando, who was known to friends and family as Bud. In those days, though, Sonny or Buster were not usually put on the birth certificate, and over time those pet names began to be relegated to pets.

Given the proliferation of staid essays that so often accompany MBA applications, Queen's School of Business decided to revamp the process a couple of years ago by dumping stilted prose in favour of a far more candid camera.
Entering its second full year of operation, the Kingston-based school's video application process has replaced the traditional essay component and allows the school to get a more real-life understanding of applicants. It also eliminates the possibility of students borrowing knowledge from elsewhere.
"The problem I was running into when I took over as the director was, I read these essays, and a lot of them looked like they were regurgitations of our website," says Shai Dubey, director of the Queen's full-time MBA program. "The other problem that we ran into was trying to figure out who'd written them."
Prof. Dubey describes a recent applicant from India who submitted "Pulitzer Prize-winning" essays. Only later did the school find out on interviewing the student that he couldn't speak English. When pressed, the student said that his father had helped him compile the essays, but Prof. Dubey then discovered that the person in question was an illiterate farmer.
And the situation was far from isolated.
"I've talked to some of the [application] consultants around the world and they've said they write the essays for the kids," Prof. Dubey says. "So are we really seeing the individual, or are we getting someone else's interpretation of the individual?"
The Queen's video application technology, designed by Canadian startup Kira Talent, puts prospective applicants on the spot, requiring them to think on their feet. Once other parts of the application have been verified (such as a résumé, transcripts, three references, a cover letter and GMAT scores), the applicants are sent an Internet link via e-mail. Clicking on the link takes them to a secure page where they are given three questions randomly generated from a stockpile of more than 70. They're then asked to talk into the camera to record their responses. Questions are broken into differing blocks, ranging from current events to personal information.
For some, it's a refreshing change.
"I was pretty excited to do the video essays because writing isn't necessarily my favourite thing to do," says Gabriello Presenza-Pitman, a current Queen's MBA student. "At the same time, I was a little bit nervous before doing the video essays because I knew Queen's was going to see me for who I was."
Given that Queen's gets 1,300 to 1,400 applications for just 70 seats on its full-time MBA program, the video essays are an important step in whittling down the numbers. Prof. Dubey says the school will extend video interview opportunities to about 300 applicants, with roughly 150 to 200 of those being invited to a traditional sit-down interview with the admissions office, the final step in the application process.
Prof. Dubey also recognizes that, as a novel and evolving part of the application process, the video interviews can cause significant consternation to students, particularly those unfamiliar with being put on the spot.
"People ask us all the time, 'Well, how do I prepare?'" he says. "Just know yourself, that's really it. There's no right or wrong answer, and we're not grading the video essay in the way that the written essays were sometimes graded by schools."
Queen's is far from the only school using video submissions to help shape its next MBA class. The business schools at Yale and Northwestern in the United States and Imperial College in England use video essays in some form as part of their application process.
Closer to home, Wilfrid Laurier University's MBA program and the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto also turn the lens on applicants to a certain extent.
Rotman hasn't completely eliminated the traditional written essay component of its application process – it still requires two submissions of 250 words apiece – but it also uses two video essays randomly generated from a database of more than 100 questions.
"They're quite different, because we're hoping that the [written] essay allows us to see a reflective, structured communications style," says Niki da Silva, director of MBA recruitment and admissions at Rotman. "The video questions are much more conversational.
"It's not the best analogy, but I like to tell people who are nervous about it that it's kind of like a first date. There are no right or wrong answers, it's about getting to know the applicant."
One of the great advantages of the video application process, according to Ms. da Silva, is that it prevents talented students from slipping through the cracks just because of a badly structured résumé or a poorly assembled essay.
"For many people it allows us to see very quickly that needle-in-a-haystack-potential student who is actually really exceptional," she says. "They've just done a terrible job of showcasing who they are on paper and I think it introduces another criteria that equals [levels] the playing field."
While Rotman, like Queen's, is in the early throes of employing video – it began in 2012 – the returns so far have been beneficial, they say, and Ms. da Silva imagines that its uses will grow and eventually extend beyond the realms of education.
"I can also imagine that for candidates that are graduating from an MBA program and recruiting into industry, I can see this as an increasing part of how you sort through the hundreds of qualified candidates that you've seen," she says. "For most interviewers it's that fit that they're looking for that you can't define on paper. So I just think it's going to be more commonplace and not just in education but in general hiring and talent."Report Typo/Error

A truly evocative recording of the many birds both common and rare that grace our woodland ,heath, moorland, inland and coastal waters. The clarity of the recordings are excellant and cleverly incorporate the muted, but nevertheless identifiable background songs and calls of other habitat sharing birds. Helpful and yet sparing commentary from a very knowledgable Geoff Sample, is both informative and timely.

Undoubtedly one of the best helmet in the market & at the price Motosport offers its a steal deal!!!
Not quite as plush as an Arai, but visibility is outstanding and the weight on my head is great!
The only minus is that I'm using their dark smoke visor and it fogs at the drop of a hat. I'll have to figure out some sort of coating solution. With one click up on the visor it stays clear at a stoplight and clears quickly with a small bit of air movement.
For the sale price, this helmet is totally awesome and the finish is pretty snazzy!
This is my first Shoei helmet. I wished I would have been using them for years. You definitely feel the difference over the low end brands. Cannot beat the price either. If your on the fence about this one, you won't be disappointed.
I absolutely love this helmet. It is extremely comfortable, looks great, and performs as advertised. It is a motogp helmet, but can be used for daily riding. It is not as quiet as a Qwest or RF-1200, since that isn't a racing helmets main focus (Wear ear plugs if you are worried about your hearing). The Shoei helmet also has some great features - The visors are extremely quick and easy to swap, and the visor locking mechanism works great. The visor seal is waterproof, so no worries if you get stuck out in the rain. I have no complaints with this helmet, and would recommend it to anyone. Plus it matches my 2009 GSX-R1000 beautifully. I receive a lot of compliments on this lid.
I wear a 7 1/4" hat, and my helmet is a M size. Fits great.
I love that helmet. Very nice fit! It has everything i need.
A little noisy but overall a great and comfortable helmet.
Bought this X-12 on sale, Was really looking for a helmet to do well at high speeds and this does the job.
This helmet hurts if worn for longer than a half hour. I cannot return this item because I have worn it. From now on I will not be purchasing online. No support when you have an issue from either the manufacturer or the retailer.
This helmet is amazing! Plenty of ventilation, even in florida.
The night and day difference was in the fit and finish of the details made this a great produt, as expected from Shoei. Couldn't pass on this deal for an X-12!
Recently purchased the Shoei X-12 and am very pleased with it. So far it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The fit is great and it offers excellent mobility with the shell sized to match the helmet size. The ventilation and shield has almost no obstruction of peripheral vision. I would highly recommend this helmet!!
Great helmet. I am replacing my X-11 and this helmet has way more vents and is much lighter than the previous generation. I really like the wider shield as an added feature.
this helmet is the best I have worn.. no wind drag, fairly quite breaths great, plenty of ventilation for those hot arizona summer days. Pretty much zero wind drag when turning head, even at 100+ the helmet is snug and of great quality.. purchased the Kiyonari 2 from motosport for an insane price, shipping and service is top notch!
Second shoei I've had and the x12 is amazing. Light, comfortable fits like glove. A lil loud w my m4 exhaust but any helmet I wear is! Sizing is spot on!
Been eyeing this helmet for a few weeks. Ordered it Tuesday and got to test ride today. Wow..blown away. I ordered smaller than usual and it is a bit snug, but it feels like I'm just wearing hearing protection. So light, and quite. Flows air amazingly well. Cold out so I had to close some vents. Looks awesome too. For $499 you CANNOT GO WRONG. A new favorite helmet.
Awesome helmet overall. From the design, weight, to its functionality. The air duct for the mouth is huge and beneficial for incoming air along with its other ducts at the brow and aerodynamics up top. It has a clever shield to help the face shield from fogging up.
Just a great helmet and the paint finish is top notch.
Can't go wrong with Shoei.
Helmet is absolutely excellent! Fit is great, finish is excellent! Vents work very well and it is extremely comfortable and lite.

SearchAll Refuges
The National Wildlife Refuge System, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manages a national network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants.
Following the establishment of Florida's Pelican Island as the first National Wildlife Refuge in 1903, the System has grown to encompass more than 150 million acres within more than 550 Refuges, many Wetland Management Districts, and thousands of Waterfowl Production Areas.
More than 41 million people visit National Wildlife Refuges each year to participate in activities such as hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, and photography, and to attend environmental education and interpretive programs. Their spending generates almost $1.7 billion in sales and close to 27,000 jobs for regional economies.
Wildlife Refuges are home to more than 700 species of birds, 220 species of mammals, 250 reptile and amphibian species, and more than 200 species of fish. Fifty-nine Refuges have been established with a primary purpose of conserving threatened or endangered species.
There is at least one National Wildlife Refuge in every state, and one within an hour's drive of most major cities—offering people a welcoming, safe, and accessible place to nourish their spirits and reconnect to the land.

Piping plovers, federally-listed as threatened, arrive at the refuge between mid-March and early April. Once a full clutch of eggs has been laid, the refuge erects a wire exclosure around the nest. This keeps predators away from the nest, while allowing the birds to come and go. Interns monitor hatching and fledging rates.

The Little Dream HTML version
It is just after sunset of an August evening. The scene is a room in a mountain hut,
furnished only with a table, benches. and a low broad window seat. Through this window
three rocky peaks are seen by the light of a moon which is slowly whitening the last hues
of sunset. An oil lamp is burning. SEELCHEN, a mountain girl, eighteen years old, is
humming a folk-song, and putting away in a cupboard freshly washed soup-bowls and
glasses. She is dressed in a tight-fitting black velvet bodice. square-cut at the neck and
partly filled in with a gay handkerchief, coloured rose-pink, blue, and golden, like the
alpen-rose, the gentian, and the mountain dandelion; alabaster beads, pale as edelweiss,
are round her throat; her stiffened. white linen sleeves finish at the elbow; and her full
well-worn skirt is of gentian blue. The two thick plaits of her hair are crossed, and turned
round her head. As she puts away the last bowl, there is a knock; and LAMOND opens
the outer door. He is young, tanned, and good-looking, dressed like a climber, and carries
a plaid, a ruck-sack, and an ice-axe.
LAMOND. Good evening!
SEELCHEN. Good evening, gentle Sir!
LAMOND. My name is Lamond. I'm very late I fear.
SEELCHEN. Do you wish to sleep here?
LAMOND. Please.
SEELCHEN. All the beds are full--it is a pity. I will call Mother.
LAMOND. I've come to go up the Great Horn at sunrise.
SEELCHEN. [Awed] The Great Horn! But he is impossible.
LAMOND. I am going to try that.
SEELCHEN. There is the Wine Horn, and the Cow Horn.
LAMOND. I have climbed them.
SEELCHEN. But he is so dangerous--it is perhaps--death.
LAMOND. Oh! that's all right! One must take one's chance.

Wow, this is great, and it reportedly works on Multisite.
Can't wait to implement this. Timthumb has given me nothing but headaches (from support). Thanks so much for this script!
I'm anxious to give this script a try, but it looks like it's not working on Multisite. As soon as that's fixed I'll commit to it.
I'm the author of that theme. lkovich eventually did find the proper route for support.
I think the only automated solution that you will find is by using an MLS /IDX plugin, like dsIDXpress (www.diversesolutions.com). I don't think any real estate themes will simply accept an XML file.
PixelBin said
The resolution is doubled but the system is doubled as well so the relative size onscreen doesn't change but there are 4x more pixels that make up the graphics therefore it is incredibly sharp. I take it you've never played with an iPhone 4+ or the new iPad before. While the operating system can make fonts look good and any system apps as well as apps made Retina-ready specifically by developers, 99.9% of sites with tons of images will look crappy because upscaled images don't look all that great. We better all hope CSS3 adoption becomes ubiquitous because browsers (at least Mobile Safari) tend to render CSS3 very well even on Retina displays.
Thanks for the explanation. I've compared iPad 3 w/ iPad 2 in the store, and my wife as an iPhone 4. I really have to look super close side by side to see any kind of difference. To me there is really no practical difference other than "specs" on paper. But I guess it would be easier to see any difference when you compare extremely small text/fonts.
People say videos on the iPad 3 are amazing… but since videos would usually be a lower res than the retina display, each frame would have to be upscaled, thus you don't get any "better" quality than a normal screen.
I don't really see the big deal over "retina"... I have to really look super close and concentrate to see any kind of difference between retina and normal.
Anyway, I'm wondering something about Retina and image size. Since the resolution is super high in a smallish form factor, won't everything look super small on it? Like a 960px site would look very narrow on this screen. And any image in general will look way smaller on it vs a regular screen with fatter pixels. Am I right, or don't I understand the retina technology?
Oh wow, thanks! I've been working on my own Timthumb alternative, which works, but I can't say 100% that it will work for everyone. (but I really think it does). Now I come across your script… I think I'll use your script since you seem more confident than me that it will work with 100% of users. I won't wait to use it on a new theme… instead I will upgrade an existing one.
If Envato slowly increased rates over the years instead of doing one large jump, then buyers wouldn't be freaking out.
Also, along with the price hike, it would be a good idea to also offer buyers more value… for example, I'd love if Themeforest had it's own theme support forum for authors. Many of us run our own forums, and that's great, but it's a hassle for buyers of many themes to have to log into multiple forums for support. Would be great to have a single support forum for all themes. This kind of value addon would help justify the price increase, and also prevent buyers from shopping at other sites.
purethemes said
So you're saying that time you'll spend for searching another theme (and risk you won't find anything as good as Modernize) is worth less than 10$ more you have to pay for it now? And back to original question in that thread – sales seem to be back to previous level, only beginning of this week was slow.
Yep, I agree… people complain about a little increase (for most themes), and look elsewhere, wasting hours of their time and money, and only probably end up coming back here. They could just spend $10 and be done with it.
I also think that I think sales will decrease a "bit", but only from impulse buyers. I think impulse buyers are the minority here (i hope!). But I think overall our profits will be a bit higher. I guess it will take a few weeks to know for sure what will happen.
A lot of people here say they can't afford $50 for a theme… they say it like the price "increased" $50 (they're paying $50 more than before). No, they're paying $10-15 more in most cases. People who don't want to pay $10-15 more for a theme which will save them 100's of hours, or even thousands of dollars, are really undervaluing what theme authors do.
Back on topic… As far as sales for me this week, it's on par with the usual. No real gain or loss in quantity sold. But with the price increase, yesterday was my highest profiting day ever!
Don't forget that many buyers here are freelancers working for little money and to them $15 more is a big deal.
Mot of these people who complain about this are the same people who complain that $8/month is too much for Netflix… yet they'll go out on Fri/Sat night and blow off many times more money without thinking twice. It's all about priorities. If you can't afford an extra $15 then eat out once less every 2 months.
I'm guilty of this myself… i nickel and dime my way with many things that are inexpensive yet a great value. (netflix, paid version of Evernote at only $5/month, etc.) And on the other hand I spend lots of money on things that are of less value for me.

The CPM on Tuesday said that High Court's verdict for the division of land based on "faith and belief" is disturbing as it will set a dangerous precedent.
"The verdict for a three way division of the land is, however, based on faith and belief. This aspect of the set of judgments is disturbing as it accords primacy to religious belief and faith over and above the facts and the record of evidence. It will set a dangerous precedent for the future", party general secretary Prakash Karat said after a two-day meeting of the CPM politburo.
Karat hoped this aspect will be addressed when the matter goes to Supreme Court. "The politburo of the CPM reiterates that in the secular democratic set-up ordained in the constitution, the way to resolve the matter is through the judicial process and the decision of the SC would be final," he said.
The party also said that the cases pertaining to the demolition of Babri masjid need to be seriously pursued, pointing out that the reasoning set out in the judgment of the Allahabad High Court may be taken as a "post facto justification" of razing the mosque.

Itinerary: Istanbul to Rome
Nautica was a pleasure from start to finish. Boarding was easy. We simply presented our passports and credit card at check-in in Istanbul and got our room card, less than 10 minutes from dock to our cabin. Our luggage was not delivered to our room, because we chose to spend one additional night with friends in the city, but we were allowed to take it directly to our room the next day. Our room steward met us and was worried we had had some trouble getting to port, so he helped us get settled and get on with our cruise since we were a day "behind" the others on board. He was never intrusive, but always friendly, visiting when we had time and wishing us a good day when we were in a hurry.

Caribbean dishes, closer to Central America geographically, are also askew. Mofongo Con Camarones ($16) is supposed to be an Afro-Antillean mash of plantains topped with shrimp creole. There's plenty of shrimp, but not much flavor to the sauce or funk to the mush. Pollo Guisado ($10) ought to be a salty Dominican stew on rice, served with salad. It's close to that, but not quite. That said, anyone selling a 10-buck entrée in Harvard Square that isn't a burger gets applause.
Conga's wine list is mostly Spanish and economical. A pitcher of sangria ($4.75/glass; $19/pitcher) has the right idea — not too sweet, red with some orange and apple slices. It will be terrific at the outdoor tables come summer.
Desserts are a step up, especially the orange panna cotta ($5.95) with creamy molded pudding, only a few more canned mandarins, and real whipped cream. Bread pudding ($5.95) is always good, but I am also captivated by chocolate pizza ($8.50). Milk chocolate, chopped peanuts, a thin glutinous crust — it just works for me on the primal level, and it's certainly not pretending to be anything but what it amazingly is. The flan ($6.95) tastes okay, but is granular at the custard level.
Getting back to that name: there is a pair of student conga drums in the room, and guitars and cymbals on the wall, along with signed posters of Latin pop stars. The background music is salsa, and there is live music on Wednesday nights. The marble floor, left over from an Italian café once in this space, suits the tapas theme. But in Madrid it would be covered with shrimp and peanut shells. Red tablecloths are topped with glass — that would be the Thai owners' influence.
Our server, a student from Central America, was excellent, and described the menu accurately, yet with enthusiasm. Atmosphere is under construction. On our quiet evening, it was not happening. Still, I could easily see this place packed to the rafters with partiers.

Where I stayed
Once in the Hashemite Kingdom, pictures and billboards of King Abdallah and his fabled father, King Hussein, were everywhere in evidence; though Jordan's Independence Day was approaching (Monday 5/25), I had a feeling these portraits never come down. This was the case both in the city of Aqaba (opposite Eilat), which we toured briefly, and in the sporadic small towns we passed through on the modern, well-maintained highway, which took us into the scrubby desert, bordered by dramatic, colorful mountains in the distance on either side
Our driver/guide was surprisingly taciturn, once in while offering a factoid or a place name, stopping to buy a watermelon (of which we never partook) at a roadside stand (one of a number), and finally suggesting a two-hour ride on camel, which we accepted. That turned out to be a great idea: we drove off the main highway to the west, twisting through sandy roads in the nearly-barren wilderness towards the mountains, finally arriving a long tent in the middle of nowhere. When we were shown in, we sat on pillows in a mostly empty room, but for the carpets. An old man sat with us, and his son Nassar, maybe 15 years old, served us hot tea. After a while (and a trip to the outhouse--four cinderblock walls around a hole), we mounted the camels that awaited us outside, and the old Bedouin and Nassar led each of us on a long trek through a wadi (valley or riverbed) and up a hill to an amazing vista of the vast wilderness and the long line of mountains of various colors. We paused at the edge of a great canyon, climbed down into it just a bit, and sat again for more tea in the middle of nowhere
There we had a little conversation with what Arabic I could muster. Turns out the man is 59 and has 14 children, ages 3 to 30, the oldest daughter being married now. (Back at the tent, they were all hidden away, probably behind the curtain that hid the other two-thirds from us, although I did catch sight of some black-clad women on our way back, then they disappeared again.) He's spent his whole life in this area, having only been to the capital Amman now and then briefly. He is missing most of his top front teeth and smokes frequently. He told us about the natural features we saw. We told him a little something about where we were from. Oh, and no, we're not married... And then we headed back to the tent in the distance, where we had lunch and finally moved on, having thoroughly enjoyed the leisurely, rhythmic bouncing of the ride, even if it did mean holding on tight when the camels climbed a hill or came down it.
Our driver took us on back to the other side of the freeway for a wild, nauseating ride into Wadi Rum, a gorgeous, desolate stretch of mountains and desert (where "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed). It was off-road driving in the utmost sense of the word, the driver following nearly indistinguishable tracks over miles of rocky sand, or creating new ones. We stopped here and there for some breathtaking view or amazing colors or rock formation, and then continued on, bouncing wildly at dizzying speeds. He seemed eager to be done with us, and by 3:00, we were being dropped (mercifully) at Beit Ali, the Bedouin campsite, where we were going to stay.
Although it was quite remote, otherwise it was nothing like I was expecting

Anarchism and other essays HTML version
understand how solitary and deserted he feels. That is the tragedy of the person prominent in the public eye.
The mist in which the name of Emma Goldman has so long been enveloped is gradually beginning to dissipate.
Her energy in the furtherance of such an unpopular idea as Anarchism, her deep earnestness, her courage and
abilities, find growing understanding and admiration.
The debt American intellectual growth owes to the revolutionary exiles has never been fully appreciated. The seed
disseminated by them, though so little understood at the time, has brought a rich harvest. They have at all times
held aloft the banner of liberty, thus impregnating the social vitality of the Nation. But very few have succeeding in
preserving their European education and culture while at the same time assimilating themselves with American life.
It is difficult for the average man to form an adequate conception what strength, energy, and perseverance are
necessary to absorb the unfamiliar language, habits, and customs of a new country, without the loss of one's own
Emma Goldman is one of the few who, while thoroughly preserving their individuality, have become an important
factor in the social and intellectual atmosphere of America. The life she leads is rich in color, full of change and
variety. She has risen to the topmost heights, and she has also tasted the bitter dregs of life.
Emma Goldman was born of Jewish parentage on the 27th day of June, 1869, in the Russian province of Kovno.
Surely these parents never dreamed what unique position their child would some day occupy. Like all conservative
parents they, too, were quite convinced that their daughter would marry a respectable citizen, bear him children,
and round out her allotted years surrounded by a flock of grandchildren, a good, religious woman. As most
parents, they had no inkling what a strange, impassioned spirit would take hold of the soul of their child, and carry
it to the heights which separate generations in eternal struggle. They lived in a land and at a time when antagonism
between parent and offspring was fated to find its most acute expression, irreconcilable hostility. In this
tremendous struggle between fathers and sons—and especially between parents and daughters—there was no
compromise, no weak yielding, no truce. The spirit of liberty, of progress—an idealism which knew no
considerations and recognized no obstacles—drove the young generation out of the parental house and away from
the hearth of the home. Just as this same spirit once drove out the revolutionary breeder of discontent, Jesus, and
alienated him from his native traditions.
What role the Jewish race—notwithstanding all anti-semitic calumnies the race of transcendental idealism—played
in the struggle of the Old and the New will probably never be appreciated with complete impartiality and clarity.
Only now are we beginning to perceive the tremendous debt we owe to Jewish idealists in the realm of science,
art, and literature. But very little is still known of the important part the sons and daughters of Israel have played in
the revolutionary movement and, especially, in that of modern times.
The first years of her childhood Emma Goldman passed in a small, idyllic place in the German-Russian province
of Kurland, where her father had charge of the government stage. At the time Kurland was thoroughly German;
even the Russian bureaucracy of that Baltic province was recruited mostly from German JUNKERS. German
fairy tales and stories, rich in the miraculous deeds of the heroic knights of Kurland, wove their spell over the
youthful mind. But the beautiful idyl was of short duration. Soon the soul of the growing child was overcast by
the dark shadows of life. Already in her tenderest youth the seeds of rebellion and unrelenting hatred of
oppression were to be planted in the heart of Emma Goldman. Early she learned to know the beauty of the State:
she saw her father harassed by the Christian CHINOVNIKS and doubly persecuted as petty official and hated
Jew. The brutality of forced conscription ever stood before her eyes: she beheld the young men, often the sole
supporter of a large family, brutally dragged to the barracks to lead the miserable life of a soldier. She heard the
weeping of the poor peasant women, and witnessed the shameful scenes of official venality which relieved the rich
from military service at the expense of the poor. She was outraged by the terrible treatment to which the female
servants were subjected: maltreated and exploited by their BARINYAS, they fell to the tender mercies of the
regimental officers, who regarded them as their natural sexual prey. The girls, made pregnant by respectable
gentlemen and driven out by their mistresses, often found refuge in the Goldman home. And the little girl, her
heart palpitating with sympathy, would abstract coins from the parental drawer to clandestinely press the money
into the hands of the unfortunate women. Thus Emma Goldman's most striking characteristic, her sympathy with
the underdog, already became manifest in these early years.

According to Colts team president Bill Polian, initial indications are that Gonzalez' injury will not sideline him for the remainder of the year.
"We know that it's not year-ending. I'll probably know more when we finish our medical meetings. That's what I know right now," he said during his weekly radio show. "The fact that it's not season-ending is a good thing. And then we'll try and get a pretty thorough diagnosis and a prognosis as soon as we can."
The Colts won't be placing a call to former Indianapolis wide receiver Marvin Harrison, who was released in February. Polian made that clear on his radio show.
"I don't think so because Marvin hasn't had any training camp. It really is counterproductive to try and bring a player in who's not had any training camp, not had any offseason (conditioning work). And that's especially true of someone at Marvin's age," he said.
"It's very, very difficult to do and you're probably inviting injury upon injury. So if we're going to add someone, it would be someone who's been in training camp and possibly is a little younger than Marvin."
There are other veteran NFL receivers available, such as former New York Giants David Tyree or Amani Toomer. Polian acknowledged that the Colts may be looking at the league's waiver wire for additional help.
"We could add a veteran receiver. We'll talk about that. I don't think the salary cap is any consequence with any of the veteran receivers that are out there. They're not going to command a lot of money," he said.
"One thing we don't do is pay attention to names. Just because a guy has been a good player and has a big name doesn't mean that he's a good player now and will add to our football team. So we're going to sit down with our pro personnel folks and we'll talk through who we think the best veteran wide receiver might be. The guy that best fits our system. The guy that can do the most for us. And that's the guy, if we choose to bring one in, we'll bring in."
Any decision on what do about whether to bring in somebody from outside the organization or promoting someone from the practice squad, such as Taj Smith or rookie John Matthews, will depend on how much time Gonzalez will be out.
"Now it's predicated, largely, on how long Gonzo may be out. If he's gone for four weeks or more, then the likelihood is that we would make a change. If he's gone for four weeks or less, then probably not the sense of urgency to make a change that might otherwise exist. He's not a tremendously fast healer, so that may enter into the equation," Polian said.
"Some guys, they get back a lot quicker than the doctors may say. Others are sort of on time. And receivers, traditionally, stay with the time prognosis because of so much of what they do is predicated on speed and their legs. So those are all the considerations that we'll take into account and we'll see what we do. But names don't really mean anything to us. We're looking for the best player."

"Economics is really clear," say the economists (see "Hey Guv: Stop Slashing!" by Lance Tapley, January 2). The same economists who couldn't see the crash coming. Like their kindred ideologues — the politicians, the state agencies, and the overgrown business community they serve — the economists are wrong. Lots of us saw this crash coming.
The source of our economic problems is our economic success. We have ground up the planet, mined the most valuable resources, and turned those resources into money — money that represents a future claim on yet more resources. Money that must be "paid back" in a future of ever fewer resources.
This economic crisis is a deep ecological crisis. Nature — the web of life on which we depend — has never been paid. "Enough," she says.
Liberal economics — "the rising tide that lifts all boats" — is at a dead end. Broken. Let's talk not only of allocation — the "free market" — but let's frankly address the distribution of wealth and the scale of our economic activities.
The pie is shrinking. What is fair and who will decide?
I want to extend Tapley's four prescriptions farther. 1) We need a general "recession surcharge" taxing the wealthy — both income and wealth. 2) We need to refocus our entire economy to build a green Maine. 3) We need the broadest sales (or carbon) tax to dampen business activity. And 4) we need to end not only the tax breaks, but the power of those rich, out-of-state corporations — those engines of permagrowth that leave Maine as they leave any other plantation economy. Stripped.
In no case can there be more borrowing. Not from Nature, not from our children, not from the future. It's time to pay it forward. To put back.
I doubt Governor Baldacci and the legislature can see this. They will cut taxes and spending. They will borrow. They will leave us with bigger debts, fewer resources, and ultimately a bankrupt, wasted, and cannibalized Maine.
