Talk:List of Usenet newsreaders
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
What is this list for?[edit]
What is this list for? What is the difference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Usenet_clients ? --Hhielscher 09:29, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I hadn't seen the category
- This groups them by platform which, IMHO, is quite useful
- This page can list popular clients that don't have articles yet.
- --Vik Reykja 16:05, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Listing by platform does not make sense to me, Thunderbird is available for Mac, Windows and Unix, Pan runs on Windows and Unix, etc.
- IMHO the best solution would be to make this a comparisson page, like the ones listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computing_comparison --Hhielscher 08:36, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, go for it. --Vik Reykja 08:42, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. Adding details like the price, platform and features (yEnc decoding, binary posting, ect...) would be useful.--Logomachist 02:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Listing by platform does not make sense to me...thanks a lot, this happened to be exactly what I came for: a list of Usenet clients for a certain platform.Kar98 00:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
MicroPlanet Gravity/SuperGravity[edit]
Would be nice to include MicroPlanet Gravity/SuperGravity, if possible also an article on them.
I believe this used to be a moderately popular newsreader; however, a quick google implies that the company no longer develops the product and that it was released as open source, which is now being maintained at SourceForge. -- pne 06:26, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
Clicking on XPN redirects to WXPN which appears to be a college radio station and not a Usenet client. If I knew more on this subject, I'd correct it myself, but I've learned to not futz with anything I shouldn't.
Nominated for Deletion[edit]
This article seems to only be an advertisement for various news clients, and doesn't really serve much of a purpose. As such, I've nominated it for deletion. P3net 17:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
why I removed tag[edit]
I do not see how an article can be an advertisement for dozens of competitive products. This list probably meets the WP:LIST criteria--defined group of items, useful classification, more than indiscriminate links. P3bet, please look again and if you still want to delete send to AfD. DGG 00:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- How is it any different than Category:Usenet clients? P3net 14:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Because it lists clients that do not have Wikipedia articles about them yet. 22.214.171.124 07:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- How is it any different than Category:Usenet clients? P3net 14:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be "merged" with Comparison_of_news_clients ? I don't see much added value of this page compared to the comparison page. Also, what's the vendetta against URD? It has been added by multiple persons, yet each time it is removed with the 'notability' reason. How does that compare to above statement that the added value of this page, compared to Category:Usenet clients, is that this page lists clients without Wikipedia articles? Aren't those clients by definition 'lacking notability'? Styck (talk) 18:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- URD's developers appear to be the only people interested in adding URD to Wikipedia. Googling for discussion of URD aside from a few freshmeat announcements and Wikipedia topics finds essentially nothing. Wikipedia isn't supposedly a place to advertise your newest program, but some people insist on arguing the point. Bye. Tedickey (talk) 19:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Split list[edit]
The article itself mentions different "types of clients", basically those to use usenet for messages, and those that abuse usenet for filesharing. I think it would be useful to split the list of clients into those two categories, so people looking for a real news client don't end up getting a file downloader with no message functionality. 126.96.36.199 04:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Types of Clients[edit]
The list in the given section is interesting (but unsourced), and does not relate to the breakdown by sections of the overall topic. With some sources (and removal or qualification of a few of the promotional statements), it might fit in the original newsreader topic. Tedickey (talk) 11:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- what do you want to have sourced? it is a list! marke with the cite-template and i will search! --mabdul 0=* 10:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- The organization of the three paragraphs (3,4,5) dealing with variations of binary clients appears to be someone's original research. Note that it mentions several clients which have no topics (and is probably written by someone developing an NZB client ;-). It's also using jargon. In all of the paragraphs, there are POV-related things such as "virtually unusable", etc. Tedickey (talk) 21:52, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
mutt as a newsreader[edit]
See for example Tedickey (talk) 08:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
crippleware (GrabIt) as "freeware"[edit]
The website says "free download", and the associated topic makes it clear that the "free download" is about all that's free, since it's limited functionality. Perhaps someone will point out that crippleware is equivalent to freeware. TEDickey (talk) 10:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- That's funny, because the only feature I can see discussed there that is 'crippled' is that the search functionality it adds only works on the service the creator offers. Otherwise.. it's a freeware newsreader. Nevard (talk) 10:59, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- Most of the discussion in GrabIt and its website are devoted to the search feature. The topic indicates that it's a specialized program (only used for downloading binaries). Without the search feature, it sounds useless. TEDickey (talk) 22:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- It's an extension over the features offered by other newsreaders that specialize in downloading binaries. It may be one of the main reasons to use it over other binary downloaders, but that doesn't mean it's not perfectly usable without being signed up for this service. Nevard (talk) 01:53, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- Most of the discussion in GrabIt and its website are devoted to the search feature. The topic indicates that it's a specialized program (only used for downloading binaries). Without the search feature, it sounds useless. TEDickey (talk) 22:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- That sounds like a divergent opinion (doesn't agree with the topic, and website). WP:RS needed TEDickey (talk) 11:02, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yeaaaaah.. and you source 'crippleware' from where, exactly? Nevard (talk) 02:09, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- Reading the linked topic, and website - both of which are pretty clear on the intended use. Of course, the linked topic has no third-party sources (perhaps there are none). TEDickey (talk) 09:57, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- You could say it's crippleware. But the main features are: 1. Browse and Search newsgroups!(FREE) 2. Automatically repair and extract downloaded binaries! (FREE) 3. SSL support to protect your download traffic! (FREE) 4. NZB file support! (FREE) 5. Easy to use and familiar looking user interface! (FREE). This means browsing/searching the newsgroups doesn't cost anything. This goes like "you've got a huge list and your browsing the entire list, searching for whatever you want". The ONLY thing GrabIt offers that costs money for a subscription is an "Instant Search Feature", like Google. You type in a keyword and it searches through the servers of Shemes.com for the keyword. But that's an extra feature, that's not a main feature. And so it's not crippleware. Because crippleware is software that is made to do something in particular, but it's limited. You can compare it with a game. You can download the entire game for free from the internet, but only have access the 5% of the game map and can only get at level 5. But it can be unlimited if you paid a subscription. The main feature of the game, is the game itself, so that's crippleware. The main feature of GrabIt is to browse/search newsgroups/import NZB files from internetsites, download them, repair them with par-sets, extract the rar files and have fun with the extracted files. All these main features ARE FREE. The "instant search feature" is an extra VIP feature, which doesn't limit the main use of the program. In short: GrabIt is FREE and no crippleware.

This is a ridiculous discussion. Like Newsbin Shemes runs an file search operation on the side. And like Newsbin that costs extra. But unlike Newsbin this binary grabber is free. The search need not be used. GrabIt has been in use for more than a decade. It is somewhat simpler than some of them, but still quite effective and its simplicity is a virtue to many. A new version is due shortly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 02:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
List's purpose[edit]
I came to this page because of the deletion of 40tude Dialog. I then re-instated that entry and a number of others which had been removed over time with the edit summary "list entries are not subject to WP:N" which refers to MOS:LIST#Listed items where the requirements for listed items is specified as 1) verifiable; 2) no original research; 3) neutral point of view – notability is not mentioned. In fact, an argument in many deletion discussions about borderline-notable subjects is that the item can be added to a list, thus re-inforcing the principle that the notability threshold for list items is lower than that for stand-alone articles. Since my edit, a number of entries have again been removed with edit summaries: "remove items without topic" and "trim - please cite guideline before adding clutter". I'm not quite sure what the 1st remark means, but I assume it indicates the author's opinion that only items with a Wikipedia article can be listed; as I pointed out, I think that's not supported by practice or guidelines. I suggest to restore items which are verifiably Usenet newsreaders. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:08, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- It seems the editor Tedickey doesn't want to understand the concept of list entries as opposed to article; they keep removing entries by referring to WP:WTAF and don't discuss the matter here. I'm going to restore reasonably well-known newsreaders. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:57, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- "It seems": Don't try to put words into someone else's mouth. What is easy to see is that you have made a point of making rude, hostile remarks, based on your selective interpretation of one of the various guidelines. Other guidelines cover similar areas (such as WP:REDLINK and WP:WTAF. Since this is the first "discussion", your "pointed out" has no context. For the reader, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/40tude Dialog and note that reinstating a redlink to a deleted topic doesn't mesh well with WP:REDLINK. For most of the above, see WP:CIVIL, WP:AGF, etc. TEDickey (talk) 00:40, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Adding BriskBard to this list[edit]
First of all, I'm the developer that created BriskBard.
|The following Wikipedia contributors may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of the article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include Paid contribution disclosure, Conflict of interest, Autobiography, and Neutral point of view.
BriskBard is a freeware web browser for Windows that also includes a Usenet newsreader and many other Internet clients : email, ftp, irc, news aggregator... It doesn't have a dedicated wikipedia page yet but it's listed in other wikipedia articles about the rendering engines used by web browsers. Let me know if you need more information or links to articles in newspapers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Salvadordf (talk • contribs) 17:26, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Tragic Prince Kullervo
The story of Kullervo, sole survivor of the dead tribe of Kalervo, god-chief of Karja. This is his story of loss, struggle, and tragedy. The original tale is in the finnish epic Kalevala, of which this story rests between Runes XXXI to XXXVI.
With a firm shove, the drugged and sleepy Kullervo was thrown against the side of a cart bearing heavy and worn metal working tools which clattered as his bound arm connected. He blew his blond hair out from his face and cursed his guardian, Untamo, with his eyes. The artisan king pulled a rough, impoverished cloak about his fine linen attire, only in part to block the north wind. Throngs of common folk walked all about them, like a river around stubborn earth. Occassionally, some of the throng would recognize the dreaming king, Untamo, and salute. At other times, some of them looked upon Kullervo with disgust and spew curses at him.
Untamo, radiant and powerful, brought his fine hands to his brown hair and looked to the unkempt peoples of the Karjala, walking past and around the cart, seeking out bargains along the riverside market. Untamo, the dreaming king, looked with listless eyes at his young charge, Kullervo.
"Listen, you clever idiot, in the cart of Ilmarinen, blacksmith in the land of Ehstland. You will give him your attention. He will be your new caretaker." Untamo directed the bound Kullervo into the back of the cart. Silently the blond boy sat among the tools and regarded Ilmarinen who was just now arriving back from the market with some empty sacks.
"This I see, my friend Untamo. How have you been these few years past?" Untamo also bore the brown head of the older Finn. They seemed to share the same aura, an air of greatness that exceeded their earthly selves.
"Better soon I think, Ilmarinen."
"Untamo, this the man you spoke of?" The blacksmith inquired, shoving the empty bags into the back of his cart.
"He looks strong, enough. Can he read?"
"We have not given him lessons, but he can say and scribe his name."
"What is your name, boy, do speak up?" Kullervo sluggishly stretched legs and uttered his name, and a shadow fell across Ilmarinen's rugged face. He turned to Untamo and his face grew to a fury. "The man you bring is a nuisance! I have heard the tales of your land." Ilmarinen smacked the side of his cart and cursed. "I can not train him, Untamo. Get this mule from out of my cart."
"Ilmarinen, do speak closer. I did not mean to undersell you." Untamo lifted an arm over the blacksmith's broad shoulder. Kullervo could hear their exchange just the same and looked at his boots.
"Murderer and destroyer, both. Untamo, he can not be trained. You have told me from your own mouth." Ilmarinen glanced over his shoulder at Kullervo and added, " Untamo, I know your motives. We are not our own friends, Dreamer."
"I have sought to keep him employed. Take his mind off vengeful concepts. He knows I took them, slew his people. But, by us gods, he cannot die. I only seek to make him better. You, my blacksmith, can make him best. All rigid metals you can shape ."
Ilmarinen sighed and then walked over to the cart, taking out some tools. "Well, Kullervo, I am convinced, I'll take you in and keep you tasked. Come, Untamo, take my old tools, I can not fit them all in here."
And so, for a cartful of old tools did Untamo, the Dreaming King, god-chief of Pohjala, trade Kullervo to the eternal blacksmith, Ilmarinen, wishing to be free of the curse of the dead king Kalervo.

The following are prohibited by law: - any public performance or display, including transmission of any image over a network; - preparation of any derivative work, including the extraction, in whole or in part, of any images; - any rental, lease, or lending of the program. Questions We Will Explore What have been some government actions toward Native Americans in the United States? Cite some examples of ethnocentrism and stereotyping regarding Native Americans. In what ways has little changed in the exploitation of the Native Americans? How do the three major sociological perspectives explain the experiences of Native Americans? Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Sociohistorical perspective Stereotype of Native American was negative, when they obstructed Europeans from occupying their lands. Of self-justification—denigration of Native Americans as cruel, treacherous, lying heathens. Outsiders over generalized the tribes as one people. Even though they differ by language, social structure, values and practices. In 1492 their were 300 different languages spoken only about half still exist. Now there are 275 reservations & BIA recognizes 556 different tribal entities in the US Sociohistorical perspective Distinguishing physical characteristics: thick, black, straight hair, very little facial or body hair, tend to be darkeyed with prominent cheekbones. Beyond these similarities-greatly differ in physical stature & features. Ethnophasulism redskin – not accurate; skin coloring range from yellowish to coppery brown. Their experiences in American colonies were uniques in one respect. The whites, Europeans, were the newcomers and the minority for many years. Psycohistorical perspective As the two peoples interacted more fully, each group grew more antagonistic toward the other. Native Am could not understand the European settlers' use of beatings, hangings & imprisonment as means of social control. Settlers could not understand the Native Am resistance to Christianity & to the whites "more civilized" way of life. Major issue was whose way of life would prevail & whether the land would be further developed or allowed to remain in its natural state, abounding with fish & wildlife. Sociohistorical perspective Europeans first manifested a benign ethnocentrism in their early contacts with Indians, which often degenerated into enslavement, exploitation, or annihilation. Differences in economic development and dominant attitudes in the United States and Latin American resulted in the Indian's achievement of different social, economic , and political statuses Initial cooperation between Indians and Whites along the eastern seaboard of the US gradually lessened as the settlements became more stabilized. Increased interaction and cultural diffusion resulted in the Indians becoming less self-sufficient and economically dependent on the whites. Sociohistorical perspective Fighting between Native Am & settlers continued sporadically & locally throughout westward movement of whites until the late 1880. Mid-19th century, US government adopted a policy of forced relocation in dealing with Native Am tribes & encouraging westward expansion. Government used military force to displace the many tribes & resettle them on wilderness reservations where they remained unless new settlements plans or the discovery of oil & valuable minerals caused further displacement. Late 19th & early 20th century Congress enacted legislation designed to help Native Am—however it further disadvantaged or worsened their status. Sociohistorical perspective Civil-rights movement heightened the nation's social consciousness & inspired Native American to renew their campaign for self-determination They organized and became militant: – 1969 Alcatraz Island demonstration – 1972 Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington DC takeover – 1973 Wounded Knee confrontation (site of an 1890 massacre) – 1978 March on Washington New Generation of RED POWER advocates took up the fight for Native Am Pan-Indian movement- emphasized individual tribal culture and practices. Sociohistorical perspective 500-year history of Native Am—white relations, Native Am have rejected the notion that white's religions & lifestyles are superior to theirs. To understand the nature of the relations between these two groups. We must comprehend the roles of ethnocentrism, stereotyping, cultural differences, and power differentials in intergroup relations. Stereotyping perspective Some common but false stereotypes of Native Am has been those of bloodthirsty savages, silent or aloof people, and the simplistic Hollywood picture of Indians who are either noble or vicious. Native Am have a holistic or symbiotic view of nature, seeing all existence as interrelated. Sociohistorical perspective In the United States, 19th-century policy of removal, relocation, and Native American dependence on federal government prevented most tribes from becoming full participants in U.S. society. MULATTO (of mixed black and white ancertry) MESTIZO (of mixed Native American and White ancestry) Native Am populations in both Northern & Latin American were decimated by various sicknesses that resulted from earlier contact with white explorers: Smallpox, tuberculosis, cholera, measles, mumps, and chicken pox caused an accidental annihilation Government Actions toward Native Americans 1778 - Continental Congress: Reaffirms 1763 British policy (tribes accorded independent nation status; lands west of the Appalachian mountains are Native American; royal government must approve all land purchases). 1787 - Northwest Territory Ordinance: Opens the Midwest for settlement; declares U.S. government responsible for Native American property rights and liberty. 1824 - Bureau of Indian Affairs is created under the jurisdiction of the secretary of war. 1830 - Indian Removal Bill: Mandates all Indians must move west of the Mississippi. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Government Actions (continued) 1830–1880 - As forced segregation becomes the new Native American reality most reservations are established. 1871 - Appropriations bill rider: Tribes no longer are independent nations; legislation, not negotiation, is to determine any new arrangements. 1887 - Dawes Act: Reservations divided in tracts, allotted to individual tribal members; surplus land sold. 1898 - Curtis Act: Terminates tribal governments that refuse allotment to individual tribal members; surplus land sold. 1906 - Burke Act: Eliminates Native Americans' right to lease their land, with the intent to force Native Americans to work the land themselves. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Government Actions (continued) 1924 - Indian Citizenship Act: Grants US citizenship 1934 - Indian Reorganization Act: Ends allotment, encourages tribal self-government; restores freedom of religion; extends financial credit; promotes revival of Native American culture and crafts. 1952 - Relocation Program: Moves Native Americans at government expense to urban areas for better jobs. 1953 - Termination Act: Elimination of reservation systems, ends federal services and tax immunity. 1973 - Menominee Restoration Act: Revokes termination and restores Menominee's reservation and tribal status. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Government Actions (continued) 1974 - Indian Finance Act: Grants and loans for Native American enterprises and development projects . 1975 - Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act: Expands tribal control over reservation programs; provides funding for public schools on/near reservations. 1976 - Indian Health Care Improvement Act: Provides funds to build/renovate hospitals, add personnel, scholarships for Native Americans in Indian Health Service. 1978 - Education Amendments Act: Gives substantial control over education programs to Native Americans. 1978 - Tribally Controlled Community College Assistance Act: Provides grants to tribal community colleges. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003. Government Actions (continued) 1978 - Indian Child Welfare Act: Restricts placement of Native American children into non-Native American homes. 1978 - American Indian Religious Freedom Act: Protects Native American religious rights, including peyote use. 1993 - Religious Freedom Restoration Act: Restores standards of review for American Indian Religious Freedom Act that were overturned by a Supreme Court ruling in 1990. 1993 - Omnibus Indian Advancement Act: Establishes foundation for gifts to BIA schools; increases economic development opportunities for tribes; improves tribal governance. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Examples of Ethnocentrism and Stereotyping Regarding Native Americans In the 16th and 17th centuries, ethnocentric Europeans condemned aspects of Native American culture they did not understand and related to other aspects only in terms of their own culture. Some considered the indigenous people to be savages, even though Native American societies had a high degree of social organization. Other Native American stereotypes were: "silent or aloof." In colonial and frontier days, the stereotype of the Native Americans often was negative, especially when they obstructed Europeans from occupying their land. As a result of self-justification, some whites viewed Native Americans as cruel, treacherous, lying, dirty heathens. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Ethnocentrism and Stereotyping (cont'd) Contemporary Native Americans often are stereotyped as backward, unmotivated, continually drunk, or are regarded as romantic anachronisms. Many frequently overgeneralize about Native Americans, seeing the many tribes as one people even though the tribes have always differed from one another in language, social structure, values, and practices. The settlers, in colonial and frontier days, could not understand the Native Americans' resistance to Christianity and to the whites' "more civilized" way of life. But the major issue was whose way of life would prevail and whether the land would be further developed or allowed to remain in its natural state. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Native Americans - Still Exploited Today, many people in the U.S. are oblivious to Native Americans' problems and consider them quaint relics of the past; others find them undesirable and some want their land and will use almost any means to secure it. Native Americans still encounter discrimination in stores, bars, and housing, particularly in cities and near the reservations. They have been beaten or killed and their property rights infringed on. Of all the minorities in the United States, according to government statistics on income, Native Americans are the "poorest of the poor." Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Still Exploited (continued) Encroachment on Native American land continues. Water and energy needs have led government and industry to look covetously at reservation land once considered worthless. Poor, but with large tracts of isolated land, Native Americans in recent years have seen their reservations recommended as toxic-waste dumping grounds. Urban sprawl and agribusiness have prompted whites to sink deep wells around reservations in Arizona, siphoning off the water reserves of several tribes. A growing number of sacred Native American sites are under threat from housing developments and industrial plants. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 The Native Americans - 3 Perspectives Functionalist - Early contacts tended to be harmonious, with both sides benefiting . Dysfunctions occurred as Native Americans slipped into economic subservience, their way of life further threatened by encroachment on their land by steadily increasing numbers of white settlers. Whites forcibly removed Native Americans, seen as a hindrance to their making the land productive. Forced segregation on nonproductive reservations destroyed Native American society as a self-sufficient entity. The systemic disorganization of the society restricted life opportunities. Poor education, low income, bad housing, poor health, alcoholism, and suicides are serious problems facing Native Americans today. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Native Americans - 3 Perspectives (continued) Conflict Theory - White newcomers, superior in technology compared to the indigenous population, engaged in early conflict. The native population declined due to warfare, disease, and disruption of sustenance activities, and its social institutions were undermined. Westward expansion occurred by pushing aside the people who already possessed the land, without regard for their rights or wishes. Formal government agreements and treaties became meaningless to those in power if further land confiscation or exploitation for natural resources offered profits. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Native Americans - 3 Perspectives (continued) Interactionist - Ethnocentric views of Native American culture prompted a definition of the native population as inferiors, savages, and even nonhumans. Such social distance created by dehumanization makes it easy to justify any action taken. European Americans viewed even the acculturated Native Americans working as servants or laborers as members of an inferior race fit to be subordinated and relegated to a noninterfering, humble role in society. High levels of prejudice against Native Americans still exists in the West. The negative labeling and dehumanizing processes that led to past acts of violence against Native Americans remains a problem today. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003 Summary For over two hundred years government actions have been taken toward Native Americans that have changed and in many cases destroyed their way of life. Ethnocentrism and stereotyping formed negative views and misconceptions of Native Americans. Today, Native Americans are still misunderstood and exploited. The functionalist, conflict, and interactionist theories provide explanations for the Native American experience. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2003

They would talk about it always
So a new month and we get closer to Christmas but still the sun keeps shining. Its bloody lovely in France. Back to school at the start of the week and Ruby was a bit wobbly as expected but got over it soon enough. The rest of us have just about managed to get through the week unscathed although this has not been helped by me suffering from a terrible case of flu de monsieur. Yes it would appear that this is ...
Highway flamin' robbery and Halloween
... sat on the bank as the sun reflected off the water and ate our bounty in the warm sunshine. Then the girls played around for a while amusing themselves although they were slightly disappointed that no swimming was allowed. It was incredibly serene and relaxing and we just lazed for a while until it was time to head for home. Then today was just a lazy day. Another perfect day we sat on the balcony and ate our lunch, we hung out and Jess lay about in the ...
A twofer
... having grabbed a couple of crusty baguettes home made by the amazing Remy who rushed out to wave us goodbye as we drove off, some people just love what they do and he is certainly an example of this. The drive was on mostly country roads and it was spectacular as at the moment France is on fire. Since leaving the south which is quite dry and a bit more barren the area we were driving through today (Tarn et Garonne, The Lot and The Dordogne) are covered ...
Last day at Le Paradis
Last day at Le Paradis. Karin and Ad, our Dutch friends leaving today to return to Holland having been at Le Paradis for three weeks. Final visit to Saint Genies market in the morning before returning to site. Had a final happy hour with Barbro, Terry, Jon and Gina.
Packing all completed ready for our not too far run to the Lot. Only about 40 miles and should take us about an hour and a half.
Day 22
... We saw a snake swimming across the water, probably about 18" long. 11.30am we walked up to Le Sporting for our coffee. Liza said its hot back home too, when I spoke to Chloe later the cloud was back! Pauling text from Milford, she said it was sunny there...a taste of summer. We walked back and then I faceTimed Chloe and Mandy. That's when she showed me the clouds. They are okay, so I am okay. I will talk ...

I Don't Know What To DoMature
'Penny. I just don't know what to say or do anymore.' I twisted a strand of my hair around the middle finger of my left hand, letting it fall back into place when I had no more finger.
'Well tell me about it,' she replied. 'I might be able to help, or at least give you my take on things.'
'I just keep thinking. What if things had been different? What if Leo hadn't left me alone that day in the woods? What if I'd asked for a ride home on his bike? Would Dom have found me? I'm not saying that I wish he hadn't, but would things have been different? Maybe I wouldn't be in the mess I'm in now.'
'What is it that's so bad? You have Leo.'
'But I'm not sure if that makes me perfectly happy. I love Leo, he means the world to me but...'
'I miss him,' I smiled, gazing off into the distance as I spoke. 'I miss the way he makes me feel when I've had a really bad day. I love the way he laughs at me whenever I get something wrong or trip up over my own feet. I miss the way he holds me when I go to sleep at night, the safety of him being there. I miss feeling like I am a human being, not something dangerous and to be scared of.'
'I assume we're talking about Dom now.'
I nodded. 'I just miss him so much.'
'Do you still love him?' Penny's eyes were fixed on my face, her hand gently stroking my hair out of my face so she could see the expression on it.
'I'm not sure. I don't think I do in the way I used to, but he still means a lot to me. I would be heart-broken if anything happened to him and can't bear to see him suffering.'
'So what is it you want India? I'm not getting a clear message here. Are you wanting something to change?'
'I just want us all to get along. I love Leo and I really think he loves me too, but I need.. Dom.. too.' It hurt me inside to say his name and I had no idea why. Maybe it was because I knew I couldn't have him.
'You can't have everything you want in life India,' Penny said softly. 'And as much as you will hate to hear this but I don't think that Dom and Leo are ever going to get on.'
'Why not?' I asked desperately. 'They both want what is best for me and having them both in my life is what I need.'
'But instincts go beyond that India. I don't know how you managed this long sleeping with a human and not killing him because of the smell of his blood. I know most of the others couldn't do that. Dom will be feeling the same way, wanting to feed of Leo, maybe even kill him.
'Firstly because it is his nature, Leo is Dom's natural prey, and secondly because he wants you back. I have no idea how far he is willing to go to achieve that, but one moment of animal anger is all it will take. I know Dom doesn't want to do that because he knows it will hurt you, something he would never want to do, but sometimes nature takes over.' There was silence as Penny allowed what she had just said to sink in.
'I'm sure you are right Penny, as always. It just doesn't feel like that at the moment.'
'At least you still have Leo. That's got to count for something.' I didn't reply, not sure if I should voice my inner thoughts. 'India? Things are alright with you and Leo?'
'I don't know. I think I scare him. You said that you're surprised I have lasted this long without feeding on him. There have been a few close calls.'
'What do you mean?' Penny leaned in, concerned.
'When we're together and he's kissing me, I sometimes get a bit carried away and...' my voice trailed off.
'I can't help it. They seem to have a mind of their own and before I know it I have pointy teeth coming out of my mouth and I want to bite his neck. It doesn't seem to be a turn on for Leo.'
'How many times has this happened?'
'Five or six,' I admitted reluctantly. 'And every time it happens he withdraws from me, not being alone with me for days on end, and when we are alone he won't speak to me. And when I kiss him he recoils away from me. Is this just me being silly or could there be something to this?'
'I'm not sure India. Your relationship isn't exactly conventional and I'm not the best person to talk about how guys are feeling at the best of times. Maybe you should talk to Jake. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.'

Hay, I'm Kevin, first I thought sex with own mother is only is fiction, an untrue story and is disgusting. I was wrong, this happened to me six months ago, and I can't believe that I'm having sex with my own mother and all that is due to one gentleman named Sultan with . I thank him here for his help and support. Earlier the word incest itself was taboo in Indian society.
I'm the eldest son with 2 younger sisters and the youngest is a brother. My father is a drunkard and drinks a lot and once he gets started he would be drinking for weeks, he is a night watchman in an office. So he would be gone all night and if he loses his sleep he would be drinking the whole day. My mom really had a difficult time bringing up all of us as most of the time she was alone with us in school or home work or whenever we needed her. As our dad was either on night shift duty or resting due to his odd duty hours or drinking heavily.
When I finished my schools I decided to help my mom with the finance. So I didn't continue my studies to the higher level. I started working as a machine operator in a factory. I gave most of my salary to my mom so that she could run the household with ease and also help my sisters and brother with their studies. After finishing her studies my elder sister also started working and later got married at the age 20. And the other sister got married and the age of 19. My brother didn't have good marks in his exams and he also started to work in a furnisher company, he is now 18. I'm 23 and my mom now is 44, her name is Meetha. She has short hairs which she keeps well. She is normal built with 36 boobs and 39 waist.
Now back to the story. I was never into incest till six months ago although I was addicted to internet. I used to read porn stories but was not too much attracted to incest. That also sex with mom no way. There were many sex stories involving mom-son on the internet mostly on ISS. It did evoke curiosity in me….whether these stories are true or fake………………..whether incest is good or bad..whether it is sin…………………….But I could not arrive at any conclusion so I kept surfing the net and reading such stories careful to delete the history.
One such day while checking the history I saw some one from my family was also surfing the same site ISS. When I perused I noticed he was reading incest stories that also sex between mom and son….Who could it be? My younger brother……….I decided to keep watch………..In few days I noticed his timing on system and checked the sites he surfed but I was surprised it was not him. As I have day job, I am away at my office during daytime I come back at 5.30 pm. The system was being used during my absence and my brother was also not home during that time period, then who…………..I checked from my office and was surprised to find that the person using system during daytime was none other than my mom………………..
Oh My god my mom was reading those porn materials that too incest regarding mom son………I couldn't gather courage to ask her but kept on saving her sites and stories she read….She was regular visitor to ISS and her favorite writer was one married male named sultanasinha (firstname.lastname@example.com) whom she had chatted also. I had her yahoo mail id with me. I opened her mail careful not to let her know I was spying on her. I was surprised further that she was chatting with the above mentioned writer about incest. Following is her chat excerpts (more…)

Lock: Aaron Rodgers.
Good bets: Graham Harrell.
Bubble: B.J. Coleman.
Long shots: None.
Comment: With five practices remaining in training camp and nine until the Packers kick off the regular season, time is running out to replace Harrell as the No. 2 quarterback. However, Harrell needs to get the offense moving after the three-and-out-a-thon of the first two preseason games. With Coleman getting just a series in each of two preseason games, it's almost as if the Packers are trying to keep him under the radar. Prediction (2): Rodgers and Harrell make the team, with Coleman on the practice squad.
Running backs
Lock: Alex Green and John Kuhn.
Good bet: RB Cedric Benson.
Bubble: RB James Starks and RB Brandon Saine.
Long shots: RB Marc Tyler, RB Duane Bennett, FB Jon Hoese and FB Nic Cooper.
Comment: The addition of Benson adds a wrinkle to what was a pretty locked-down position group entering training camp. Saine and Starks are injured, with Saine (hamstring) expected back next week and Starks (turf toe) iffy to be back for the regular season. Before camp, Starks was the obvious No. 1 player in the backfield. Now, that's not the case, though a source told Packer Report that "too much" was being made of how Benson's addition might impact the oft-injured Starks' roster security. Still, Saine is far more valuable on special teams than Starks. Prediction (4): Green, Benson, Starks and Kuhn make the roster, with Tyler on the practice squad.
Wide receivers
Locks: Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.
Good bets: Donald Driver and James Jones.
Bubble: Diondre Borel and Tori Gurley.
Long shots: Dale Moss, Jarrett Boykin, Curenski Gilleylen, Shaky Smithson and Andrew Brewer.
Comment: Driver's having an excellent camp but with young stars in line for new contracts and the depth at the position, he's not a lock. Jones could be used as trade bait to upgrade the offensive line depth. Nonetheless, it would be a surprise to see either of them playing elsewhere in September. Borel was having an excellent camp, too, until a groin injury hurt his prospects. We told you about Boykin before his big preseason performance. Prediction (6): The Big 5 and Borel make the cut, with Moss and Boykin on the practice squad.
Tight ends
Locks: Jermichael Finley.
Good bets: D.J. Williams and Ryan Taylor.
Bubble: Tom Crabtree.
Long shots: Andrew Quarless (knee), Brandon Bostick and DeMarco Cosby.
Comment: Williams has had a stellar training camp, and while Taylor has been up and down, he's a core player on special teams. Crabtree adds grit and probably makes it, too, but he's dropped a lot of passes. Quarless seems destined for the PUP list and Bostick is an interesting prospect after starring in college at wide receiver Prediction (4): Finley, Williams, Taylor and Crabtree.
Offensive line
Locks: LT Marshall Newhouse, LG T.J. Lang, C Jeff Saturday, RG Josh Sitton, RT Bryan Bulaga and C/G Evan Dietrich-Smith.
Good bets: OT Andrew Datko.
Bubble: OT Herb Taylor and G/T Reggie Wells.
Long shots: OT Derek Sherrod (leg), OT Shea Allard, G Don Barclay, G Greg Van Roten, G Ray Dominguez, C/G Tommie Draheim, C/G Sampson Genus.
Comment: Dietrich-Smith is the only proven commodity among the backups. With Sherrod seemingly destined for PUP, the No. 3 tackle position is up for grabs. Taylor has had his moments and easily could take the job away from the improving but up-and-down Datko, but the tiebreaker in most personnel decisions boils down to which player was drafted most recently. Wells, a late addition, has started at all five positions, which makes him a valuable asset. He's running out of time, though, to prove he should be on the team. Prediction (9): The starting five, Dietrich-Smith, Datko, Wells and a player not on the roster, with Draheim on the practice squad.
Defensive line
Locks: DE Ryan Pickett, NT B.J. Raji and DE Jerel Worthy.
Good bets: DE C.J. Wilson, DE Mike Daniels and NT Daniel Muir.
Bubble: DE Philip Merling.
Long shots: DE Lawrence Guy, DE Jarius Wynn and DE Johnny Jones.
Suspended: DE Mike Neal (four games) and DE Anthony Hargrove (eight games).
Comment: The underrated Wilson simply lines up with the first unit every day and is solid against the run. Daniels is a fourth-round pick with pass-rush potential; general manager Ted Thompson generally keeps his draft picks and the Packers need pass rushers. If Muir makes it, he can take some of the workload off of Raji. With a strong push, Merling could unseat Wilson or Muir. Wynn needs to make something happen ASAP. Hargrove brings a lot of energy but the pass-rushing ability he's shown in previous stops hasn't shown up in Green Bay. Prediction (6): Pickett, Raji, Worthy, Wilson, Daniels and Muir, with Guy on the practice squad.
Locks: OLB Clay Matthews, OLB Nick Perry, ILB A.J. Hawk and ILB D.J. Smith.
Good bets: OLB Dezman Moses and LB Robert Francois.
Bubble: OLB Erik Walden, OLB Brad Jones, OLB Vic So'oto, ILB Jamari Lattimore and ILB Terrell Manning.
Long shots: ILB Desmond Bishop (hamstring), OLB Frank Zombo.
Comment: You wonder if the Packers are begging the NFLPA to sign off on a proposal that would allow teams to designate one player (Bishop, in this case) to come back from injured reserve at midseason. Otherwise, it's going to be hard to reserve a roster spot for a player who may not be healthy until late in the season — if at all. Prediction (9): Matthews, Perry, Moses, Walden make it among the outside linebackers, Hawk, Smith and Francois make it among the inside linebackers, and Jones and Lattimore can play inside and outside and serve as core players on special teams. Manning sticks around on the practice squad.
Defensive backs
Locks: DB Charles Woodson, CB Tramon Williams, CB Casey Hayward, CB Jarrett Bush and S Morgan Burnett.
Good bets: CB Sam Shields, S M.D. Jennings and S Jerron McMillian.
Bubble: CB Davon House (shoulder), CB Brandian Ross, S Sean Richardson and S Anthony Levine.
Long shots: CB Dion Turner, CB Otis Merrill and S Micah Pellerin.
Comment: If House's shoulder improves through rehab, he'll not only make the team but be a key member on defense. If House needs surgery, his season is probably over. That would open the door for Ross, who's quietly having a good camp. At safety, Jennings could start or he could be released. That's how wide open the competition is with two preseason games remaining. A fourth-round pick, McMillian is practically a lock. The final spot boils down to special teams for Richardson and Levine. Prediction (10): Woodson, Williams, Shields, Hayward, Bush, House, Burnett, Jennings, McMillian and Richardson make the team, with Ross to the practice squad for a second consecutive year. Ross, however, is good enough to get claimed off waivers. In which case, the versatile Pellerin gets the nod.
Special teams
Locks: K Mason Crosby, P Tim Masthay, LS Brett Goode.
Good bets: None.
Bubble: None.
Long shots: None.
Comment: The Packers have about as good a trio as there is in the league. Prediction (3): Crosby, Masthay and Goode.

Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger has admitted he finds his music career "intellectually undemanding" and said his original idea of becoming a teacher might have been a "gratifying" alternative.
In an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the veteran rocker said he considered a career as a dancer but was put off by the prospect of "so many injuries".
Jagger, who was still a student at the London School of Economics when the Stones were starting out, told John Humphrys: "A schoolteacher would have been very gratifying, I'm sure.
"There are millions of things you would have loved to have done, a politician, a journalist... I thought of being a journalist once.
"All these things you think of when you're a teenager, you can think, well, I would have liked to have done that but that's completely pointless but I don't feel frustrated for a lack of control at all and I'm very pleased with what I've done.
"Everyone wants to have done more things in their lives. It is a slightly intellectually undemanding thing to do, being a rock singer, but, you know, you make the best of it."
The full interview will be broadcast on the show tomorrow ahead of the band's headline performance at Glastonbury.
In an interview for Radio 1's Newsbeat bulletin, Stones guitarist Keith Richards said he did have concerns about the weather for their Glastonbury performance.
"I think the only pressure we feel is that it is the first time we've done an outdoor show for yonks and English weather," he said.
"Throwing in those two equations, yeah, there is maybe a little apprehension."
He brushed off any concerns about the event being headlined by a band whose four core members are aged between 66 and 72.
Richards joked: "It's good for your health to play rock'n'roll in a clean-living band like the Rolling Stones. You should try it. It's better than church."
And he added: "In a way, it's kind of weird that at last we've made it to Glastonbury. It's like building Stonehenge, right?"

Chaos in an Elevator ShaftMature
Chapter fifty-five – Chaos in an Elevator Shaft
I felt awkward dressed in suit trousers, shirt and tie. But it was nothing compared to inside. I was struggling to keep a straight face as I walked alongside dad. I knew Amy was close behind, keeping a safe distance. It felt weird, I wouldn't lie. I'd gotten so used to protecting her, the sudden switch was a little disconcerting. I knew it made sense for one of us to be near my dad in case something went wrong though.
Dad passed his card against a sensor near some plastic barriers. He was let through. My turn. I passed the card and the machine beeped, letting me in. I knew I wasn't meant to, but I glanced over my shoulder. Amy held her own fake card to the machine and stood there. I had a moment of panic, thinking it hadn't worked, then the machine let her through. I let out a relieved breath and turned back to the front. My dad was watching me carefully as we waited in the elevator.
"How do you feel?" he asked, surprising me.
"I've had better days," I replied. Feeling down about your own life was nothing compared to worrying about Amy's safety. It paused on the twelfth floor and I froze, remembering Anna's warning. The door opened and a guy dressed in a business suit walked in, his eyes stuck to his phone as he pressed a floor.
"It's been a while since I've seen you, what you been up to?" the guy asked suddenly, surprising us both.
"Just taking some vacation time, it was overdue," dad joked. The guy nodded, seemly satisfied with my dads answer. The elevator dinged to say we'd reached another floor and he waved as he left. I breathed a sigh of relief as the doors shut again. A hand appeared between the doors before they shut. The doors didn't stop fast enough and the fingers should've been crushed. They weren't.
I glanced upwards, seeing the hatch in the ceiling. I jumped and shoved the entrance out of the way. I climbed through and yanked a very surprised dad through in record time. I replaced the hatch and glanced around nervously. I saw a maintenance entrance nearby.
"Dad, keep going. I'll take care of this," I said. He glanced at me, clearly unhappy to be asked to run.
"I can help you," he said, some of the stubbornness I knew him for surfacing.
"You could get hurt, or worse," I countered.
"So could you. I'm not leaving my son," he replied. I let out a frustrated sound and looked at the small space before us. The hatch was pushed open and a very spawn-like hand gripped the ceiling to pull itself up. Something pulled it back down. I heard the rustle of blows and rushed to the hatch.
I saw Amy down there, fighting. Darius needed to teach me so much more. I was ready to go down there and help her, when the doors from the floor above us were forced open. The guy that glanced down at me looked like any human. But I knew that presence. This was the demon Anna had been trying to warn us about.
"Go," I said, pushing dad towards the other side-door. "This will be for nothing if we don't learn what's going on," I whispered before he could object. I could tell he wanted to argue, then he turned and left. I let out a breath of relief. It didn't last long as the guy jumped down, making the lift shake a little.
"So, you're the nephilim that causing the boss so much trouble," he murmured, flicking grey eyes over me. I pulled my sword and held it out before me. He smirked at the gesture. "I'm not really interested in a promotion. How about you and your friends just leave, minus the girl," he said.
"Not happening," I said. Obviously he didn't realise the girl was downstairs, easily defending herself. He shook his head, chuckling softly. I wasn't prepared for his attack at all. I'd assumed Gapp was crazy powerful, but this guy was on another level. I felt air leave my lungs as he slammed me against the brick wall around the elevator. He held me there and I glanced down. No more elevator below my feet. I had a feeling my healing powers didn't extend that far.
"You don't even seem to worth the effort," he muttered, loosening his grip. I lifted my feet suddenly, kicking his chest and flying him away from me. I reached forward, hands flailing and felt the falling sensation grow. Then my hands closed around the cable. They screamed as the mental cut into them. I gritted my teeth against it and climbed down quickly. I reached the bottom of the elevator and grabbed hold of a stable looking handhold. All that training with Darius had given me pretty good upper body strength. I stayed there, holding still. I had to hope he'd assume I'd fallen to my death.
