Free to Choose (1980) is a book (ISBN 978-0-15-633460-0) and a ten-part television series broadcast on public television by economists Milton and Rose D. Friedman that advocates free market principles.
Part 1: The power of the Market
Finding examples in his visits to Hong Kong, the U.S. and Scotland, Dr. Friedman says that free markets are the fundamental engines of economic progress. In free markets, individuals can go into any business they want, trade with whomever they want, buy as cheap as they can, and sell at the highest price they can get. In truly free markets, governments do not interfere with any of these privileges. Individuals are free to enter the marketplace to do business, and they, and they alone, enjoy the fruits of their successes and the consequences of their failures. In free markets, producers of goods and services respond to signals they receive from buyers in the marketplace. They key production to their understanding of what people are buying and, apparently, wish to continue to buy. Using this information, they decide what to produce and in what quantity. Competitive forces in free markets promote efficiency. Because there is free entry of new producers into the market, individual producers must keep costs down in order to price their products at competitive levels. This means the resources they consume tend to be used efficiently. If they are not, costs of production rise, selling prices go up, and the producer may not be able to sell his product because it is not priced competitively. Free markets promote voluntary cooperation among a great diversity of people. As Milton Friedman points out, even making something as simple as a pencil requires the cooperation of thousands of people largely unknown to one another. Because the pencil manufacturer needs paint, graphite, wood, glue, and other components, widely separated groups of individuals have an incentive to produce these items and ship them to the pencil plant. This cooperation is not accomplished by any government. Individual freedom and economic freedom are tightly linked. It is difficult to conceive of personal freedom existing in isolation from economic freedom. Thus, the free market system not only promotes economic progress, but also buttresses our cherished individual freedoms.
Part 2: The Tyranny of Control
In this program, Dr. Friedman visits India, Japan and the U.S. He argues that those nations fortunate enough to have had basic economic policies established in an atmosphere of free markets have tended to develop more rapidly and to meet the needs of their citizens more adequately than those nations whose economic policies were established in an atmosphere of centralized planning and control. According to 18th century Scottish economist Adam Smith, free market economies are based on a belief that permitting individuals to pursue their own self-interests will have the happy side effect of serving the interest of society as a whole. Friedman points to the development of the British economy during the 19th century and the Japanese economy in the 20th as examples of robust development that accompanied governmental decisions to allow the free market to operate. Where nations have adopted central planning policies instead of economic freedom, economic development has been considerably less than that in free market societies. Though central planning policies may be well intended, they inevitably retard economic progress. Dr. Friedman cites the case of India as a classic example of a nation that has great potential for economic development but, because it has chosen to rely upon centralized controls for organizing economic activities, its people have been relegated to an unnecessarily low standard of living. This program focuses on the case for free trade. If people are free to trade with whoever offers the most advantageous terms, resources will be used efficiently, and a higher standard of living will be realized. But free trade requires free and open competition. Many producers have advocated public policies to protect their businesses from competition in the name of "public interest." Dr. Friedman warns us to be suspicious of public interest advocates, concluding that through their policies the special interests win at the expense of the rest of society.
Part 3: Anatomy of a Crisis
Between the Civil War and the Depression, laissez faire was the economic order of the day. But the Depression reversed public attitudes because it was viewed as a failure of capitalism. Many people were persuaded that free market capitalism was fundamentally unstable, that government must play a more active role, intervening to correct the instability of the system. This view of history still dominates popular belief and government policy. The Depression also prompted a dramatic shift in professional economic opinion — away from the long-held belief that monetary policy was a powerful instrument of economic policy to nearly the opposite view that "money does not matter." The economics profession embraced the new theories of British economist John Maynard Keynes, who offered an appealing justification for extensive government intervention. According to Milton Friedman, the shift of both public and economic opinion "arose from the misunderstanding of what actually happened… the Depression reflected a failure of government, not free enterprise." In particular, it was a failure of the Federal Reserve System to exercise its powers to halt the slide. The evidence is clear "that the Depression was produced — or at the very least made far worse — by perverse monetary policies followed by the U.S. authorities." The irony, as Dr. Friedman explains, is that this crisis, which resulted from government failure, led to decades of government expansion.
Part 4: From Cradle to Grave
Since the Depression years of the 1930s, there has been almost continuous expansion of governmental efforts to provide for people's welfare. First, there was a tremendous expansion of public works. The Social Security Act followed close behind. Soon other efforts extended governmental activities in all areas of the welfare sector. Growth of governmental welfare activity continued unabated, and today it has reached truly staggering proportions. Travelling in both Britain and the U.S., Milton Friedman points out that though many government welfare programs are well intentioned, they tend to have pernicious side effects. In Dr. Friedman's view, perhaps the most serious shortcoming of governmental welfare activities is their tendency to strip away individual independence and dignity. This is because bureaucrats in welfare agencies are placed in positions of tremendous power over welfare recipients, exercising great influence over their lives. Because people never spend someone else's money as carefully as they spend their own, inefficiency, waste, abuse, theft, and corruption are inevitable. In addition, welfare programs tend to be self-perpetuating because they destroy work incentives. Indeed, it is often in the welfare recipients' best interests to remain unemployed. Dr. Friedman suggests a negative income tax as a way of helping the poor. The government would pay money to people falling below a certain income level. As they obtained jobs and earned money, they would continue to receive some payments from the government until their outside income reached a certain ceiling. This system would make people better off who sought work and earned income. This contrasts with many of today's programs where one dollar earned means nearly one dollar lost in welfare payments.
Part 5: Created Equal
In this program, Milton Friedman visits India, the U.S., and Britain, examining the question of equality. He points out that our society traditionally has embraced two kinds of equality: equality before God and equality of opportunity. The first of these implies that human beings enjoy a certain dignity simply because they are members of the human community. The second suggests societies should allow the talents and inclinations of individuals to unfold, free from arbitrary barriers. Both of these concepts of equality are consistent with the goal of personal freedom. In recent years, there has been growing support for a third type of equality, which Dr. Friedman calls "equality of outcome." This concept of equality assumes that justice demands a more equal distribution of the economic fruits of society. While admitting the good intentions of those supporting the idea of equality of outcome, Dr. Friedman points out that government policies undertaken in support of this objective are inconsistent with the ideal of personal freedom. Advocates of equality of outcome typically argue that consumers must be protected by government from the insensitivities of the free market place. Dr. Friedman demonstrates that in countries where governments have pursued the goal of equality of outcome, the differences in wealth and well being between the top and the bottom are actually much greater than in countries that have relied on free markets to coordinate economic activity. Indeed, says Dr. Friedman, it is the ordinary citizen who benefits most from the free market system. Dr. Friedman concludes that any society that puts equality ahead of freedom will end up with neither. But the society that puts freedom before equality will end up with both greater freedom and great equality.
Part 6: What's wrong with our Schools?
Our schools are in trouble. Test scores are down. Costs are up. There is a growing conviction that American schools are not turning out youngsters who possess knowledge and skills needed by contributing members of society. Milton Friedman suggests that the crux of the schools' problem is the erosion of parental control. Centralization has resulted in a gradual transfer of power from parents to professional school authorities. School bureaucracies, Dr. Friedman points out, often have goals far different from those of the parents of school children. They tend to be more concerned with job security and employment benefits than with quality education, though they may profess a primary concern for the latter. Dr. Friedman suggests that the market system could work in education. He recommends a "voucher" system. Under this plan, parents would be given vouchers in an amount equivalent to what typically is paid now to support one child for one year in the school. These vouchers could be "spent" at any school of the parents' choice — wherever parents felt their children might receive the best education. This system would again actively involve parents in the educational process. Schools catering to diverse interests would grow up. There would be clear incentives for schools to concern themselves with the quality of education being provided. Dr. Friedman is also concerned about the inequity of public support for institutions of higher learning. He points out that young people who attend state colleges and universities are being subsidized with taxes collected from all the people, poor as well as rich. Yet, as a result of their subsidized education, these individuals will make higher than average incomes. Dr. Friedman suggests it would be more equitable if those who realize the benefits of education bear the costs.
Part 7: Who protects the Consumer?
Do consumers need protection? Increasingly the public answer to this question has been "yes." Increasingly, too, the Federal government has been identified as the source of this protection. Milton Friedman disputes the views that (1) consumers are in dire need of governmental protection against the wiles of the business community and that (2) governmental actions tend to make consumers better off. He argues that consumers' problems more frequently than not can be attributed to failures of government rather than to failures of free markets. The best protection for the consumer, in Dr. Friedman's view, is the free market. Despite popular mythology, business interests do not have the power to make people purchase something they do not want. Consider, for example, the failure of the highly touted Edsel, a product that was heavily promoted by the best advertising brains at the Ford Motor Company and its advertising agencies.
When people have alternatives, they will not accept products they do not want. In a competitive market system, business people's recognition that consumers have alternatives provides a powerful stimulus to keep product quality high. Fear of losing business to competitors provides a strong protective shield for the consumer. Armed with the protection offered by the free market, the consumer, says Dr. Friedman, really needs very little protection by the government. Indeed, many government attempts to protect consumers have made them worse off than they were before.
Part 8: Who protects the Worker?
Naturally, workers are concerned about wages, fringe benefits, and job security. Many people feel vulnerable, at the mercy of the "system." One response has been the development of a variety of unions, professional organizations, and other groups dedicated to looking after the interests of members. There is evidence that working people have made significant progress over the past two centuries. In the United States, each succeeding generation has enjoyed a higher standard of living than the previous generations. What accounts for this improvement — unions? The government? Or is there an alternative explanation? Unions claim to have raised wages of all workers – members and nonmembers – through their collective bargaining efforts. But analyses reveal that whereas some unions have raised wage levels of their own members, these increases have come at the expense of nonunion workers. Unions have also suggested that their concerns center on the lowest paid workers in our society. But Dr. Friedman points out that the most successful unions are those whose members are highly skilled workers. The airline pilots union is a notable example. Union efforts to secure wage increases for unskilled laborers have not been notably successful. Some have argued that workers have gained great benefits from actions of the government. But many governmental actions have had negative effects. Rules and regulations have increased employers' costs and reduced demand for workers. In particular, minimum wage laws have reduced the amount of unskilled labor employed. Milton Friedman points out that one unfortunate, and quite unintended, consequence of minimum wage legislation has been to worsen the employment position of young blacks, including many unskilled laborers whom employers cannot afford to train at high minimum wage rates. In the final analysis, the best protection for the worker is neither unions nor government. Rather, it is the existence of other employers willing to compete for services of skilled individuals.
Part 9: How to cure Inflation
While many people have a fairly good grasp of what inflation is, few really understand its fundamental cause. There are many popular scapegoats: labor unions, big business, spendthrift consumers, greed, and international forces. Dr. Friedman explains that the actual cause is a government that has exclusive control of the money supply. Friedman says that the solution to inflation is well known among those who have the power to stop it: simply slow down the rate at which new money is printed. But government is one of the primary beneficiaries of inflation. By inflating the currency, tax revenues rise as families are pushed into higher income tax brackets. Thus, inflation transfers wealth and resources from the private to the public sector. In short, inflation is attractive to government because it is a way of increasing taxes without having to pass new legislation to raise tax rates. Inflation is in fact taxation without representation. Wage and price controls are not the cure for inflation because they treat only the symptom (rising prices) and not the disease (monetary expansion). History records that such controls do not work; instead, they have perverse effects on both prices and economic growth and undermine the fundamental productivity of the economy. There is only one cure for inflation: slow the printing presses. But the cure produces the painful side effects of a temporary increase in unemployment and reduced economic growth. It takes considerable political courage to undergo the cure. Friedman cites the example of Japan, which successfully underwent the cure in the mid-seventies but took five years to squeeze inflation out of the system. Inflation is a social disease that has the potential for destroying a free society if it is unchecked. Prolonged inflation undermines belief in the basic equity of the free market system because it tends to destroy the link between effort and reward. And it tears the social fabric because it divides society into winners and losers and sets group against group.
Part 10: How to stay Free
The Great Depression of the 1930s changed the public philosophy regarding the appropriate role of government in American life. Before the Depression, government was not assumed to have special responsibilities for individual or business welfare. The severity of the economic tragedy of the 1930s resulted in a dramatic change in public attitudes. Many believed the Depression represented a "failure of capitalism." Because of this alleged failure, government has ever since been expanding its power and the scope of its control. Government growth has resulted in waste, inefficiency, and a loss of personal freedom. Intended to serve the interests of the people, many governmental programs have been revealed to serve primarily the interests of the bureaucrats. Many government programs serve at cross purposes. For example, different agencies attempt, on the one hand, to discourage use of tobacco as potentially dangerous to good health and, on the other hand, to encourage production of tobacco through subsidies to tobacco farmers. The list of government inconsistencies and inefficiencies goes on and on. Dr. Friedman, however, says that there is reason for optimism. Today, he notes, the public is better informed about these matters and is increasingly willing to take a stand against further unnecessary expansion of government services. He suggests the most fruitful approach is to remove discretionary budget power from the government. Friedman favors passage of a Constitutional amendment limiting the government's budget and forcing government to work within that budget. But this is only the first step. As Dr. Friedman points out, "What we need is widespread public recognition that the central government should be limited to its basic functions: defending the nation against foreign enemies, preserving order at home, and mediating our disputes. We must come to recognize that voluntary cooperation through the market and in other ways is a far better way to solve our problems than turning them over to the government."

I go to the State Fair for one reason: to stuff my face with all the delicious, fatty fair food. I've seen the booths
filled with leather goods, old-fashioned signs, and clothes, but never bought anything. I usually don't give these booths
a second glance, but yesterday something caught my eye.
I noticed what appeared to be Coach purses hanging up in one of the vendor's booths. I saw several bags that from afar had that "C" logo stitched in or had similar designs as the real things. I, as a seasoned shopper, know you can't buy a real Coach handbag at a fair.
I didn't stop to get a closer look, but thought if they look like a Coach bag from where I was standing, the seller must be trying to pass the bags off as the real thing or evoke the style enough that people want to buy.
I don't know the rules and policies that dictate what vendors can sell at the fair, but I would think something sold at the State Fair should have to be legal. Counterfeit and knock-off bags are illegal and Coach is pretty fierce in protecting their trademark look. They even have a place on their website where you can report fake bags.
There are plenty of legal issues that can come up during the State Fair. Check out the next issue of Indiana Lawyer for a story on these issues.

Buddhists liberate lobsters, rerouting from boiling pot to sea
By Lauren Keiper
GLOUCESTER, Mass (Reuters) - Instead of plunging headfirst to their death in a pot of boiling water, 534 live lobsters escaped the dinner plate and belly flopped to freedom into the dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
A group of Tibetan Buddhists flanked the sides of a whale-watching boat at dusk on Wednesday, sprayed the lobsters with blessed water, clipped the bands binding their dangerous claws and gently released them one by one into the deep water below.
The 30 Buddhists of all ages trekked to the North Shore beach community known for its massive lobster hauls to purchase 600 pounds of lobster from a seafood wholesaler and save the critters from imminent death.
The lobster liberation was scheduled specifically for August 3, which is Wheel Turning Day on this year's Tibetan lunar calendar, the anniversary of the first sermon Buddha taught. On this holiday, the merit for positive actions is multiplied many times.
"Even if they get captured again, they've had a longer life," said Wendy Cook, a yoga instructor and former director at the Kurukulla Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies in Medford, Massachusetts, a town just north of Boston.
If not for the liberation, "you know they are going to be shipped to restaurants and headed to the boiling pot," she said.
Buddhists from the Kurukulla Center typically liberate masses of the expensive seafood a couple times each year.
Cook led a ceremony ahead of the liberation that included prayers, mantras and walking the 13 boxes of lobsters in circles around a display of blessed objects. These important steps develop a karmic connection for the animals' future lifetimes and help ease future suffering, she said. Continued...

But the court said the extradition could only go ahead if it received assurances Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia would not face the death penalty.
Brazil's president must now decide whether he must first face trial there for money-laundering and corruption.
Mr Ramirez Abadia, known as Chupeta or Lollypop, was arrested last August.
He was detained in a raid near Sao Paulo as part of a major investigation into the Norte del Valle cartel, which is accused of sending huge amounts of cocaine to the US and Europe, and laundering the proceeds by buying up property in Brazil.
The US has described Mr Ramirez Abadia as one of Colombia's most powerful and elusive drug-traffickers and he is suspected of ordering hundreds of murders in Colombia and the US.
Brazil charges
Mr Ramirez Abadia actively sought extradition to the United States where he is wanted for drug-trafficking, money-laundering and 15 murder charges, partly because he is said to fear for his life if he returns to Colombia.
The 11 Supreme Court judges voted unanimously in favour of the extradition provided he does not face the death penalty and does not serve longer than 30 years, which is the maximum sentence that can be imposed in the country.
The US embassy in Brasilia has so far declined to comment.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will now make the final decision on whether the extradition goes ahead.
Mr Ramirez Abadia also faces charges of money-laundering, corruption, racketeering and falsification of documents in Brazil, and if convicted he may have to serve time in prison there before being sent to the US.
The BBC's Gary Duffy in Sao Paulo says that in January, Mr Ramirez Abadia offered to hand over millions of dollars if the extradition process went ahead quickly and his wife was released from jail, but this was rejected by a judge who ordered him to turn over his assets.
The US state department once estimated Mr Ramirez Abadia's personal wealth to be $1.8bn (900m), and several luxury properties he owned in Brazil have already been put up for public auction, our correspondent says.
Mr Ramirez Abadia, 44, has been accused of involvement in the illegal drugs trade since 1986. He surrendered to a Colombian court in 1996 but was released from prison in 2002.
He told his lawyer he had moved to Brazil because he feared he might be killed by a rival cartel, and has insisted he was not involved in drug-trafficking there.

Edlington Colliery miners remembered at special service
One hundred and thirty three miners who died in fatal accidents while working at a colliery in South Yorkshire have been remembered at a special service.
During the event, near the former site of Edlington Colliery, a plaque was unveiled with the names of all miners who died there between 1909 and 1985.
A memorial garden containing a commemorative statue was also opened by the Bishop of Doncaster, Peter Burrows.
The event was a "poignant occasion" for the whole community, the Bishop said.
"It's a stark reminder of the many dangers they faced but also an opportunity to give thanks for their lives and work," he said.
"It's a privilege to be asked to join the community for this memorial, and I continue to hold them and all those who continue to work in the few mines that are left in my thoughts and prayers."

Robbers target Bieber's South Africa concert, steal $330,000
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Robbers equipped with ropes, hammers and chisels broke into a strong-room at Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium after a Justin Bieber concert and made off with 3 million rand ($330,000) in cash, local media and police said on Monday.
An officer from the nearby Booysens police station in the sprawling Soweto township said officials at the stadium, which hosted the final of the 2010 soccer World Cup, only realized the cash was missing on Monday morning.
The haul included takings from Sunday night's concert by 19-year-old Canadian pop sensation Bieber and a gig the previous evening by U.S. rockers Bon Jovi.
"The money was taken from the building and they only realized today," the police officer, who declined to be named, told Reuters. "We don't know how many people were involved as we are still gathering evidence."

Our bargaining team met with the employer in Ottawa from June 20 to 22, 2017.
UPCE Local 80823 sent a message of support to their bargaining team and against concessions on job security, one of the main issues in negotiations with Canada Post.
Civilian Members of the RCMP who are pay-matched to PSAC/USGE bargaining units and will be deemed public service employees as of April, 2018 are invited to attend our first 'welcome to PSAC/USGE!' webinar.
Earlier this week, delegates to the PSAC BC regional convention elected Brother Jamey Mills to serve as the new PSAC Regional Executive Vice-President for British Columbia.
This summer, Canadians across the country will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Indigenous People of Turtle Island, however, will have quite a different perspective of this anniversary.
As of today, it's been three years since our contract expired.
A report released today by the Union of Solicitor General Employees (USGE) calls for federal measures to protect and recognize public safety and justice workers it says are at significant risk of suffering psychological injuries from exposure to second-hand trauma at work.
Recently, delegates at PSAC's Ontario and North regional conventions re-elected their Regional Executive Vice-Presidents.
This progress update outlines the Task Force's key observations that will shape a framework and action plan to address the Task Force's work before it issues its final report in fall 2017.
After much delay, resulting from the employer's cancellation of three bargaining sessions in the past few months, we are returning to the bargaining table with CFIA on June 20.
PSAC celebrates the news that the Senate has finally adopted Bill C-16, which will enshrine trans rights into Canadian law.
Earlier this year, the federal government held consultations on what should be included in new legislation dealing with accessibility for people with disabilities. On May 29, the government released a report on its consultations.

Peter Hill, dominant editor at the Express Group, couldn't really remain a Press Complaints Commission member for long after he'd been forced to apologise in Technicolor to the McCanns. Damaged goods, alas: and eight weeks to shift them after a £500,000 libel payout wasn't exactly rapid delivery. Let's hope that Peter Wright, from the Mail on Sunday, is a less controversial replacement (though the MoS has had its high-profile scrapes, too).
But there's a more durable point here. Hill had been on the commission for five years. The early PCC rule of changing national editors every two or three years - in order that they all actively subscribed to the code and its conduct - appears to have lapsed. So Messrs Kelner, Rusbridger, Lewis, Barber and Harding/Thomson at the top five qualities have never been called. So Richard Wallace and Rebekah Wade from the red-tops are not involved.
If there'd been a proper rotation system in place, as was initially planned, Hill would have gone two years ago, without embarrassing anyone. Time to get the old roundabout spinning again.

Opposition condemns $109m marketing blitz
Page Tools
In the next fortnight, the Prime Minister tops off the Government's $21 million Medicare advertising campaign with a letter to every householder in Australia to explain the health changes.
The campaign is part of an election year "bombardment" costing the taxpayer at least $109 million in media bills alone, according to the Opposition.
Labor's Senate leader, John Faulkner, says once printing, mail-out and other promotional costs are added, the final bill will be "astronomical".
At this week's Senate estimates committee hearings Senator Faulkner has extracted from officials details of costs and timing of 21 advertising campaigns covering issues ranging from family benefits to illicit drugs.
"This money would be better spent on services for Australians, rather than in a transparent attempt to use public money to promote the political interests of the Government," he said.
Senator Faulkner said the "politically emotive images and slogans" of the Medicare campaign contrast with the guidelines proposed by the Auditor-General which state that Government-paid ads should be presented "in unbiased and objective language, and in a manner free from partisan promotion of government policy and political argument".
A spokesman for the Special Minister of State, Senator Eric Abetz, said the $109 million this year compared with the $148 million spent in 2001 for the controversial GST advertising campaign.
He said that in its last year in Government in 1995, Labor spent $78 million on advertising, which in today's dollars translated to $106 million.

From The L.A. Times
Usually we pick our post topics off the New York Times, but here's a couple stories from the LA Times that caught my eye today:
Report urges more sleep for medical residents
The National Institute of Medicine has officially encouraged medical training programs to place 16 hour limits on the length of shifts that doctors in training can work. The report produced by NIM also recommends that any resident required to work longer than a sixteen hour shift be required to take a five hour nap before continuing.
So now the biological functions of physicians are being regulated by accrediting bodies and other professional organizations. Imagine the stress: "Sleep, gosh darn it! Sleep or we'll lose our accreditation!"
I totally agree that doctors need a decent amount of sleep in order to be any good to their patients, themselves and their families. I just think it's weird that hospitals have to be forced to acknowledge the biological needs of their doctors.
Another interesting story in the LA Times is a three part series entitled Through Prison Glass. It's a story about a woman, who also happens to be an attorney, who met and married a prison inmate while he was incarcerated in Pelican Bay. Pelican Bay is California's control unit prison (also known as a SuperMax facility). The prisoner in this story is alleged to be a leader of the Aryan Brotherhood and is in SuperMax for a murder conspiracy and other crimes committed inside prison walls.
I think it's an interesting story because I'm always curious about the psychology of women who marry convicted criminals whom they've never even known outside prison. You can read the second part of the series here.

The Snowden revelations have reignited a discussion about privacy — especially privacy in the digital age. That discussion will eventually, we can hope, not only reform how the government views the privacy of its citizens, but also how those citizens interact with private entities that might store massive amounts of their personal information.
It's stunning to consider how much better informed we are as a global citizenry thanks to Snowden's efforts and the journalists that have worked closely with him. They have carefully brought to light documents and information regarding the spying efforts of the United States government, and to a lesser degree, the British government on a scale that was previously unimaginable.
But the Snowden leaks have done more than uncover a secret world of surveillance. They are starting to drive change at the congressional level. Following revelations that the NSA taps the fiber-optic cables of the Internet, tracks…

Rotational molded infant seat is made of polypropylene and is available in bright colors that will not fade. The extra wide hanger is especially designed so that the seat is gravitationally correct when a child is swinging in the seat and will resist rust. The seat is 12" across, 11.5" front to back, leg holes are 6.5" in diameter and the seat is 8" deep. This seat meets ASTM Standards both commercially and residentially. This seat should last 2 years in harsh conditions and up to 5 years in optimal conditions. **Installation, Safe Use and Maintenance Instructions** IMPORTANT: To keep children safe from harm, follow these precautions and instructions when installing, using, or maintaining this playground equipment. You can see this PDF.Installation: Make sure when seat is installed the warning label is visible. To use this seat install the short side of the hanger at the back of the seat and the long side in front. There are 4 washers per hanger. There are 2 regular nuts per hanger. These go on the top above the washer. There are 2 lock nuts per hanger. These go on the bottom of the hanger below washer. You will need to connect S-hooks or shackles from the triangular hardware on the seat to the chain and then S-hooks or shackles from the chain to the swing hangers. The seats need to be not more than 2 ft off the ground. Hangers need to be spaced 2 ft from the end of the set and 2 ft apart for each swing. You will need to make sure the S-hooks are closed to within .04 to meet ASTM safety standards. To do this you will need to use our S-hook pliers or a regular pair of channel lock pliers. WARNING: Once the S-hooks have been opened they will have to be replaced to avoid injuries from coming open and/or breaking. Make sure that the shackles used are tightened and if you use the shackle swing hangers for the chain that these also are tightened. Inspect regularly or use Loctite® to make sure bolt is still tight. Safe Use: This seat is for children 2-4 year olds only. Not for Adults. Adults should supervise children at all times. Do not allow children to stand on seat or use unsafely. Do not allow it to be used if damaged. Maintenance: Do monthly routine maintenance checks for cracks, rust, missing rivets, open S-hooks or evidence of vandalism such as cutting, metal showing through the material or children standing on seats and crushing or bending the seats. Make sure there are no exposed footings, anchoring devices, rocks, roots, holes or any other obstacles in or around playground equipment. This will reduce serious injuries. In high use areas these inspections should be done more frequently. Clean with mild soap and water when you do the monthly maintenance checks. Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.

Two speed challenges
I am creating a webMathematica application for calculating spatial autocorrelation using Moran's I. I am using randomization to test the significance of the I values, and so speed is of the essence.
I would appreciate any advice on the following two pieces of code, which are the rate-limiting factors and are as fast as I can make them. Can anyone do better?
Code 1
This simply randomizes a vector (in case it matters, typical input is a 500-element vector of Reals).
listRandomize = Compile[{{l, _Real, 1}}, Sort[Table[{Random[], l[[i]]}, {i, 1, Length[l]}]][[All, 2]]]
Code 2
This computes the only part of Moran's I that must change when the ordering of elements in the vector z changes. It calculates the sum over all i and j of z_i*z_j*w_ij, where w is (obviously) a square matrix
moranIPart1 = Compile[{{z, _Real, 1}, {w, _Real, 2}}, Apply[Plus,
Apply[Plus, Outer[Times, z, z]*w]]]
Thanks in advance!

In 2014 the Golden Hind celebrates 100 years of providing solid fish suppers to the residents of Marylebone – almost as long as the dish has been in existence. It's therefore no surprise that the kitchen team have their craft well honed. Our haddock was exceptional, with a light, wonderfully grease-free batter. Chips were chunky, less well done than the norm, but crisp and fresh-tasting (if not quite melt-in-the-mouth on the inside). Perfectly seasoned mushy peas were a treat, and provided more than just a splash of colour on the plate. This attractive no-nonsense little chippy clearly has a broad appeal, with suited office workers sitting alongside off-duty workmen and ladies who lunch. A gleaming vintage fryer provides an interesting focal point for a room that is otherwise only modestly nostalgic.

Very disappointed by the food here. The chips were soggy and tasted like they were sitting around for a long time. The fish was completely lacking taste and was battered to within an inch of its life, and the portions were absolutely measly. To top it all off my girlfriend and I had stomach problems after dinner here. The only positive thing would have to be the guy serving us.. He was very polite. All in all, avoid this place and find a decent fish and chip shop!
Like this simple restaurant always full serving Great Fish and chips
Fabulous fish and chips. Good value, take you own booze.
The chips are dreadful! Best to buy crisp chips somewhere else and take them with you.
I just don't understand why Golden Hind doesn't know how to cook them.
Proper fish and chips , served in a traditional setting that has served the local community for a century . Cracking value for money .
My friend and I ate at this spot after we did some sightseeing back in July. Though we weren't experts on fish n' chips, we nevertheless found the portions filling and tasty. A decent place for a quick bite if you're in the area.
We went there today, 14 Aug 2012, but were slightly disappointed with the freshness of the fish and the crispness of the batter - it's certainly not the best we've tasted. Chips were a little over-done too. Perhaps we were expecting too much - as it is still a good cheap eat in this part of London.
I go there whenever I am in London from the USA. Excellent food, fresh and tasty. The fish is super, the chips great, the tartare sauce thick, and the mushy peas gorgeous. Take a bottle of white wine with me every time - it is BYO with no corkage. The Greek salad also fabulous if you are really hungry or want to share. Back there in two months - can't wait.
Fish and chips that is well above average, but not the best I've tasted, nor even the best in London. I also can't really recommend anything else on the menu besides the fish and chips - the chocolate ice cream was disappointing. But a good price, good sized portions, and a pleasant, low-budget experience.
Tucked away off of a busy street, this place is worth searching out. A wide selection of delicious fish, great London prices, and tasty calamari are all reasons to visit. The Greek salad wasn't too shabby either, so arrive hungry.
A much loved local institution for a reason - it's cheap, it's friendly and the quality is pretty good. Just compare the fish n' chips here with that at the Riding House Cafe and you know which is the real thing and it isn't the one in Fitzrovia.

Lib Dems: An honest alternative
Matthew Taylor is Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman and the MP for Truro and St Austell.
By Matthew Taylor MP
There I was thinking that the traditional pantomime season normally finishes in January.
But before we get too wrapped up in the election campaign trail, Brown has one last Budget to offer.
With a healthy economy, the chancellor knows he can afford spending or tax cuts costing up to Ł4bn. And the fact is, some real investment is urgently needed.
Sadly, it looks more likely he will try to out-Tory the Tories by offering tax-cut bribes instead.
Cuts from both sides
Labour has actually spent less of the national cake on education, the NHS and pensions than even the Conservatives did in their last years in government.
Recent spending increases as the election approaches have not made up for this. So NHS waiting lists are longer, most class sizes larger, and pensioners got just 75p-a-week in their pension increase last year.
Michael Portillo would like to cut spending even more. By a lot more. Just imagine the cuts that would mean.
Both of them pretend you can cut taxes without affecting services. Everyone knows that's not true. We need to bring down the curtain on this pantomime.
No stealth taxes
It's time for a straightforward, honest approach. This week the Liberal Democrats announced our alternative Budget, which proposes just that.
Our first guarantee is that taxpayers would not be subject to any new stealth taxes. Partly this is since we explain exactly how we would pay for our policies.
But we go further. Put simply, we believe that people who are paying taxes should always know where they stand.
We'll tell you exactly where your taxes go, too. We'll set it all out in a simple notice to every taxpayer, every year.
Better services for all
So what would the Liberal Democrats do in the Budget? Guarantee high quality education for a start. Cutting class sizes to an average of just 25, training more teachers and abolishing unfair tuition fees for students.
The price? Just 1p on basic rate income tax, costing a typical person just Ł2 a week to deliver vastly better education for all.
For the NHS, we can guarantee 3,300 more training places for Doctors, 11,400 more for nurses - and the funding to employ them in order to cut waiting times once and for all.
Plus free care for elderly patients so that no one has to sell their home to pay for their long-term care.
Pensioners will also get a big increase - at least Ł5 a week over inflation, in addition to the governments plans, rising to Ł10 for over 75s and Ł15 more for over 80s. And there will be 6,000 more police on the beat.
The cost? Just a small increase in tax on those lucky enough to earn over Ł100,000 a year.
Individually, no one will pay much more. Even someone earning Ł100,000 a year would pay just Ł5 a week more.
But put together it would transform our schools, hospitals and pensions, and end once and for all the stealth tax pantomime.

Very good digestion regulator, works well and very effective.
I have a lot of gas and turbozymes helped get it under control.
I admit it worked, very happy with results.
the Mayo clinic has an article that says if you take longer than 60 seconds on a number two that you might have underlying health issues. My doctor told me that i had impacted fecal matter in my bowels and recommended that I get an enema. After the enema, I ordered some turbozymes and been taking them since. I haven't felt this good in a long time.
had a huge cheese burger the other day from arthurs and didn't get the heart burn i usually get because i pop a few turbozymes an hour before eating. Felt nice to finally enjoy a nice meal without getting bloated.
Getting older sucks and what sucks more is not being able to eat things you love. I'm not here to promote bad eating for the elderly but turbozymes has helped me enjoy some foods i haven't been able to eat in a long time.
i've read that stomach enzymes help digestion. I saw these online and tried them out. They work really well and I have started taking them regularly.
I popped the pills and then ate a huge meal that consisted of cheeseburgers with hotsauce and fries and a large chocolate milkshake. I would normally get heart burn, gas, and sometimes really bad stomach aches but i didn't get all that with the turbozymes. I did pinch a huge loaf later on. i'm going to keep taking these but i think i'll cut down on the fast food because that's probably not good that i can now eat those things without immediate consequence.
i was able to replace my tums with turbozymes and i can tell after two weeks that the turbozymes is actually better for me than taking antacids.
I go more frequently and regularly now since i started using turbozymes. I used to not be able to go in the mornings but now i can everyday. My body feels better, i love it.
i apogolize ahead of time if i offend anyone but i must tell my story. I used to get the runs when i eat really greasy food but since i've started to take turbozymes, the runs have been less and less severe. i also used to get bad stomach pains after eating too much but now i don't even want to overstuff myself. the enzymes in turbozymes seems to be working well for me.
loved using turbozymes, was able to eat spicy foods without getting extreme gas and bloated feelings. I also digest foods quicker and easier. need to get some more now.
my GI doctor told me that my stomach was sounding better and had good lab results. He didn't recommend turbozymes but i figured it would help. He wanted to know what i did, LOL!
my mom ordered this for me and i didn't want to take it. She also got me a bunch of excercise DVDs and equipment and i was offended at first but i realize now that she was only trying to help me. She's a good mom, and i also realized that. i've been working out and eating right for about 3 months now. I was really overweight and still am but i lost 60 pounds. It's was hard at first but after 3 weeks, i was on a roll and looked forward to working out. the Turbozymes helped me regulate my system and really think it helped.
my stomach does feel better now after taking these for 2 weeks. my husband tried it and he thinks it's helping him but he's only used it for 3 days now
been taking fiber tablets for about 6 months now and it's helped my system but after using this for 3 weeks i feel much better. I noticed a huge difference
good results so far, pretty sure it's working. could also be the salads and fresh foods i've been eating since i started this though. either way i feel good and thought i share.
crystal, your kid can use this. Just don't give it to children under 12, unless they are grossly obese. I would also consult a doctor, because i'm not one. This did work wonders for me. My stomach makes less noises, i feel better and have more energy. And the biggest difference, is i have less gas. I also feel fuller when i don't eat as much as before.
I love my results and just wondering if my 15 year old daughter can use this. Does anyone know if it's okay for her to use? I don't see why not, i read the ingredients and seems safe for kids.
I've taken turbozymes for about two months now and i really feel heathier.

Question about X-Over Pro
Hi, I'm new to the forums =)
I'm building my first set of speakers. For the crossover network design I'm using X-Over Pro.
The speakers I'm gonna be using are:
Woofer: Dayton DA175-8
Mid: Dayton DA135-8
Tweeter: Tang Band 25-1719S
The problem is that the tweeter is rated at 4ohms while the other 2 drivers are 8ohm. My question is, Does X-Over Pro automatically compensate for that difference and add any component necessary to the network? If not, what can I do to correct that problem?
I know that finding a tweeter rated at 8ohms is the easiest solution, but I have tried the crossover network design with other tweeters and they where ether too difficult to crossover making the network too complex for my first build, out of budget or both.
Oooh..a long time didn't come wow! i find the beautiful website. the first i think i click the other website to see:eek: xample the X-Over Pro can't do automatically compensate and add any component for the difference drivers. but you can do it by manaul.:)
Hi Xample, I use X-over pro, and suggest tou read the on screen help, Looking in 'Matching driver levels' . It will suggest L-Pads. Normanaly, the impedance of the driver is used for frequency calcs and the DC resistance is also used in the filter design.
You could try just editing the database of that tweeter you use from say 3.6R to 7.2R (R=ohms) or what ever, then compare component results. Hope this helped.

David to Deebykinkymaid©
That sight sent Gina over the edge, and she came along with her partner in lust.
Dee left the dildo up inside herself, her legs still open, but shaking. Gina took Dee's hand off of her cock, and raised it to Dee's lips. As Dee licked the cum off her hand, Gina shuddered in her aftershocks, and kissed her face all over.
"Oh my gawd you're so hot!" whispered Gina. "I never would have thought of something like that, Dee. I want to do it to you. Do you have a way to attach it to me so I can fuck you?"
"Um...no. I never had a reason to buy a strap on," Dee answered in a high whisper. She noticed that in her new persona, her voice went up a few registers to fit her feminine personality.
Dee reached down to remove the dildo, but Gina stopped her.
"No, wait. I like to see you like that. Is it uncomfortable?"
"No, just different being seen this way, Gina."
"You mean that you never shared this with anyone...ever?"
"No, never. It's kind of hard to bring up the subject, if you know what I mean."
"Well, I know now, and I really like it," Gina said. "You will have to dress like this for me all the time, now. Things between us will never be the same. You know that, don't you?"
"Yeah, I guess. Do you really like me like this, Gina?" Dee's eyes were wet as she looked into Gina's.
It was obvious the poor transvestite had visions of rejection in her mind all along. Overcoming these feelings would take time and patience on Gina's part, but Gina felt up to the task. It really did seem like a whole new world had opened up for her. Gina could explore her lesbian fantasies safely, without actually being with another woman. And David, as Dee, could explore some of his bisexual fantasies with her, without actually being with a man. He needed some help in the feminizing department, though, if he was going to pass as a girl.
And Gina was certain that she could get him to pass in public. Even with other women. All it would take was a bit of training, and she was certain, now, that Dee would respond to training.
An idea occured to Gina.
"I want to take some pictures of you like this. Where's the digital camera?"
Dee reddened and began to panic.
"No way! Someone might see them!"
"Oh, come on, Dee. You still don't trust me? That's it. I give up." Gina got up off the bed, leaving Dee with the dildo sticking out of her ass. "Enjoy your jerk-off lifestyle, Dee. You don't have to share anything with me."
"Wait!" Dee cried." Okay. The camera's in the desk drawer. I'll get it. I'm sorry. I'm just scared, Gina."
"No, you just sit there like that. If you're so afraid of me, I should go. Don't worry, you're secret's safe with me."
"No! Please! I'm sorry. Get the camera. I'll tell you anything from now on. I promise. Please stay," Dee found herself pleading. "I'll do anything you want."
There it was, the phrase Gina wanted.
"Anything? Do you mean that, Dee? I'm going to call you Dee in front of people, even if you're dressed like a guy. Eventually, my love, I may even want to make you dress up and go out to a movie with me. Or to dinner. I expect I'll be spending a lot of time with my new girl friend, Dee, getting to know her..." Gina paused for effect,"...inside and out!"
Dee blushed even deeper. He wasn't planning on actually going out in public. This was going so fast! But then again, his fantasies always seemed to revolve around being forced to be a girl. Maybe it was time for "Dee" to go out and see the world as a girl sees it. To feel the breeze blowing up under her skirt. The men's eyes on her tits. To be able to actually try on the clothes she craved in the store, rather than guessing her size and hoping for the best when she got home.
And best of all, "Maybe Gina would get that strap on and fuck me," Dee thought.
"Okay, Gina. Anything you want."
"I'm the boss, right? You seem to be afraid of doing things for yourself. And I know how to make you look better, love. You need to put yourself in my hands. You need to trust me, Dee. Absolutely. Without hesitation. Do you think you can really do that? I don't know."
"I can, Gina. After this, I have to trust you, don't I? I really don't have a choice."
"That's true. I guess I really do have a bit of a hold on you, don't I, sweetie? Well, let's get that camera. You stay just like that. Don't take it out. I want a picture to remember this moment by." Gina grinned and thought to herself,"...and the picture will give me absolute control, too, won't it, my dear little slut-wannabe! A few of those and I'll be able to get you to do that anything you've promised me."
Gina quickly found the camera, and returned to take several photos of Dee in her slutty splendor. She made Dee pose with her legs spread wide open, holding the dildo in various angles and depths to show that she was really fucking herself. Dee got a little carried away, and Gina got some very good shots of her jerking off, shooting a small load of cum, and licking it off her fingers with the dildo still deeply embedded in her pert little assole. Since Dee was wearing no make up, it was pretty obvious in the shots that it was Dave. That was all she would need to control him.
Gina put the camera in her purse, and smiled at Dee.
"I'll just keep this. I'm going to download it onto my computer. I'll make some prints for you, Dee. We should start an album to show how you develop as my girlfriend."
"Um....okay, I guess," Dee was blushing again.
Gina liked that little pouty blush. This was going to be more fun than she'd ever imagined. Next, she took a tape measure out of her purse, and measured Dee's hips, waist, chest, and the length of her spine. She took notes after each measurement. When she was done, she tucked the notes and the tape into her purse.
"I'm going to go home, now, Dee. I have to do some things today....for us. There are some things I'd like you to do, too, darling."
"Well, first...I want you to go to the bookstore and get me some things. You might want to write this down..."
Dee gently pulled the huge cock out of her bottom, and put it on the bed. She rose unsteadily on her heels, and stumbled off to the desk, where she got a pad of paper and a pen.
"Walk with smaller steps, Dee," Gina coached. "And place your heel in front of your toe, like you're walking a tightrope...See? That makes your butt move just right...That's it, love...wiggle that hot ass for me! Now...slowly lower your bottom into the chair...that's it...stick your butt out and gently settle it into the chair...mmmmmmm...you're so pretty!...Okay, first, I want one of those strap on things. Can't have my girl going without the cock she deserves, can we? Just make sure that whatever you get will feel good to me, too. And get some more of those feminizing movies that you like so much. We have some studying to do. I think I might want a whip or something, too. And get lots of lube, Dee. You're going to need it. One of those sex swings might be fun, too. Also, take a look in the back, where they show those movies. I want to know if there's those 'glory holes' I've read about in there. Oh, and while you're out, I'll need a key to the apartment, too."
Dee shuddered as she wrote these things down. What did Gina have in mind? Surely she didn't think Dee was really gay, did she?
"Now don't worry, Dee. I'm not going to 'out' you unless you tell me you're ready. But you can expect to spend a lot of time like this....with me."
"Okay, Gina."
"Oh...one more thing. You might as well write this down, too...on another sheet."
Dee obediently pulled out another page to write on.
"Title this page, 'Rules.' Got it?" Dee nodded. "Good. Number one...Gina makes the rules, and must be obeyed...always."
Dee glanced up to find her smirking.
"Number two...every morning you must shave your body, give yourself an enema, and rouge your nipples."
Dee gasped. Her hand looked like it was shaking, but she continued to write. When the last line was complete, Gina carried on in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Number three...every day you will wear stockings and panties. If you're in men's clothes, you will wear these under them. Number four...whenever you have a day off, you will prepare yourself as my girl friend. That includes make-up, bra, breast forms, wig, nails painted, and heels. Your heels will never be less than three inches in height. The only time you can wear men's clothes is when you are at work. All of your free time belongs to me, now. And I want my girl to look pretty."
Dee had tears running down her cheeks as she wrote.
"That is all, Dee. Now go get all of your sex toys, and your clothes, and pack them up in a suitcase. I'll take it with me. Before you go out, Dee, print up a couple of copies of the rules on your computer. And when you're done at the bookstore, just go straight to my place. Here's a key. If I'm not there, pour yourself a glass or two of wine, take off all your clothes, and wait for me in the living room. You can watch one of the movies you're going to buy until I get home."
"Yes, Gina."
"And don't go playing with yourself, Dee. Wait for me, love, okay?"
"Yes, Gina."
As soon as Gina walked out of his apartment, Dee frantically looked for the digital camera. No such luck, however, Gina had remembered to take it.
Trapped! That's what he was. Gina had him trapped as surely as a fox in a steel-toothed trap. And there was nothing Dave could do about it.
This was much worse than what he'd gone through with Shiela. He'd actually kissed the dildo before slipping it into his asshole...right in front of her!! And all those pictures she took!
Gina knew everything. There was no way he could ever get out from under her heels. She had him by the balls...by the tits, if you prefer. Better get going on what she wants, then.
Printing out the two copies of the rules, Dee kept her fem gear on, thrilling to the feel of the breasts rubbing against her arms as she typed at the keypad...the gentle caress of the hose on her thighs...the straps of her bra cutting in oh so softly with the weight of the breast forms...the arch of the heels on her feet. Could she really wear these clothes all the time? She'd surely go mad with the constant reminders of sex...sex...SEX!!
Taking off the wig, Dee placed it onto the foam head, and tucked it together with the breast forms in the round wig box, and zipped it round to close it. Then, without even thinking about what he was doing, he pulled a sweater over his head, over the bra, and donned some Dockers without even putting on panties. He slipped his feet into his shoes, grabbed the heels he'd been wearing, along with the wig box, and walked out to his car.
During the drive to the adult bookstore, his eyes kept going to the wig box and heels on the floor on the passenger side. His cock kept rising every time he thought of what he'd just done with Gina, and what she was promising to do with him in the near future. He barely missed having an accident as his mind wandered, the tires screaming as he slammed on the brake, having almost missed the fact that the car in front of him was turning. The driver flipped him the bird, and the car behind him blew the horn. That seemed to wake him up, and he drove the rest of the way without incident.
He always had felt a bit uncomfortable whenever he'd walked into this store, but this time he was nearly in a state of panic.
Dee pulled the paper out of his pocket, read it, and went to look at the strap ons. The woman behind the counter came over to help him.
"Um...are these designed to make the wearer feel...er...good....too?" Dee stammered out the question, blushing a deep red.
The clerk laughed. "Not those. They're not built right. I use this one, here," she took a package out and handed it to him
It cost $97. Seemed a bit much for a little dildo holder and a nine inch plastic dick, but Dee wasn't the type of girl to complain.
"My girlfriend likes this one," the woman took out another that cost $117, and handed it to him. This one had an eight incher in it.
Looking over the packages, Dee couldn't tell if they would really make Gina feel good. They both had vibrating things in them, but they didn't say if they were on the dildo end, or the strapon end. The more expensive one had a dildo attachment on the inside of the harness. Dee couldn't decide what to do, so she told the woman she'd take them both.
Next on the list was movies, and Dee quickly found four films of women fucking thier men, while having them dressed as women. She didn't spend much time reading all about the films she was buying. She was anxious to get out of there.
There was an entire wall of S&M gear, with whips and outfits and paddles and cuffs. Dee chose a rubber flogger, about two feet long, with hundreds of thin strands.
Then Dee steeled herself, and asked for some tokens for the movies in the back.
"You can't take any of this stuff back there until it's paid for," the clerk told Dee in a bored tone. "And it's a five dollar minimum."
"No. I understand. Just hold it all here for me, okay?" Dee handed her a five, and walked to the back doorway.
It was dark and smelly back there. A musky scent. Very masculine. There was a bunch of pictures on a wall, telling her what movies to expect in each booth. Dee chose to just try any booth at random.
The first booth Dee entered had a dim red light on. There was a wooden bench to sit on, facing the TV screen. Looking about, Dee found a hole, about three inches in diameter, about three feet from the floor. There was also one on the other wall.
She found eight booths in all that all had at least one 'glory hole' in them. In three of them, men had been sticking thier fingers through the holes, presumably to lure her into pushing her cock into them for a blowjob.
Remembering Gina's parting remark, Dee passed on the bj's, and returned to the bright store to finish her shopping list.
A pint of lubricant, and a box holding a sex swing, with padded cuffs to hold someone in place, and Dee was ready to pay. Before doing that, however, she grabbed some TV magazines on impulse. And there was a ten inch dildo that looked so real, she shuddered at the sight. Finally, Dee saw some nipple suckers that she just had to try.
The bill came to $530 and change. It all went on the charge card.
Leaving the store, Dee drove to the huge new hardware store, and bought Gina keys to her apartment. She also got some rope, and a pulley that would hold up to 500 lbs, to hold up the sex swing.
She started to shake on the way to Gina's apartment. I can't believe I'm doing this, she thought. Still, minutes later, she was pulling into Gina's parking lot. Gathering up all of her purchases, as well as the apparell that Gina had left her, Dee stumbled to the elevator, and punched in Gina's floor.
Steeling herself with a deep breath, Dee walked to Gina's door and knocked.
There was no answer.
Dee set all of her purchases on the floor by the door, and fumbled for the key that Gina had given her. as she opened the door, all the packages fell over, spilling all the toys, movies and books about in the hallway. Frantically picking them up, Dee dropped them several times. An older yet attractive woman opened her door down the hall, and walked toward Dee, as she was trying to pick everything up before the woman could see the perverse pleasures she'd bought.
"You look like you could use some help," the woman laughed as she bent to pick up a DVD.
"That's okay," Dee grunted, "I got it."
The woman reached the movie box a split second before Dee. Her eyes took in the title,"Be My Bitch Tonight!" and her eyes narrowed as she handed it to Dee.
"You must be Gina's boyfriend Dave," she said. "My name is Frannie. Gina and I are very good friends."
"Um...nice to meet you, Frannie." Dee's hand shook as it clasped over the woman's. "Yeah, I'm Dave."
"You take good care of that girl, Dave, or you'll answer to me," Frannie said with a chuckle.
"I'll keep that in mind, Frannie."
Still chuckling, Frannie sauntered off to the elevator.
Dee stumbled into the apartment with sweat running down his face. Shit shit shit SHIT!!! he cursed to himself. This is getting way too complicated! Now that woman knows something about me!
Dee poured a huge water glass of Merlot, and gulped it right down. Then she looked for a wine glass, and washed out the water glass.
The wine hit her almost immediately. She felt that tingly warmth spread through her tummy as she disrobed, as per Gina's instructions. she popped "Be My Bitch Tonight" into the DVD player, and watched three men being forced into women's clothes. Then they were forced to suck each other's cocks for thier mistresses.
Gina returned just as the three mistresses were entering the asses of thier feminized slaves with huge strapped on dildos.
"Mmmmmmmmm! That looks like fun," she quipped. Her arms were full of packages, and Dee hurried to help her with them.
Gina had Dee take out all of the purchases she'd made, and oohed and aahed over the strap on harnesses. She made Dee put on the nipple suction cups immediately when she saw them. She used no lube on Dee's nipples to attach the little things, she just leaned down and sucked them hard. Then, after slobbering over them a bit, she squeezed the long cup-shaped biters, released them over the nipples, and let the suckers do thier job. Gina then took the lube, and greased Dee's ass quite liberally, and left her like that. The sensation of her slippery shaved ass was impressed upon Dee with every step she took, when the globes of her bottom would slide over each other, warmly and sensuously.
"There's some salad fixings in the kitchen," Gina said. "Put it together for us, while I make some more preparations."
Dee swivelled her slippery ass off to do as she requested.
Meanwhile, Gina tried on the vibrating strapon harness, and was pleased that she could feel the waves of pleasure through the five inch probe on her end of the contraption. She walked in front of the mirror, standing there in her heels and stay up stockings, with that surreal projection jutting out, and smiled as she wiggled her hips, making the cock dance in front of her. She turned off the vibrator, tucked the remote control unit in her stockings, while she imagined herself standing over Dee, making her suck that cock.
She grinned as she thought about the things she'd bought for her new girlfriend; three long wigs, one in chestnut, one in a dark black, and one platinum, several pairs of open-crotched panties, more stockings, nursing bras, strapless bras, breast developement cream and pills, various fetish lingerie for nightwear, tube tops, tiny little stretchy skirts, and three pairs of skyscraper heels. And then there was the corset. Mmmm, she thought, I can't wait to see her in that.
As Dee just finished making the salad, Gina strolled into the kitchen with her cock bouncing in front of her.
"Just seeing you wandering around naked has given me a woody," Gina's eyes narrowed as she stroked her cock. "Be a good girl and come kiss it for me."
Dee blushed, went to Gina and dropped to her knees. Looking up between Gina's breasts, into her eyes, Dee stuck her tongue out, and licked the tip of the toy before opening her lips to take it in as deeply as she could comfortably go in the first plunge. Then, still looking up at her goddess, she began to bob her head, swirling her tongue as if it could really give Gina pleasure. Gina placed her hands on either side of Dee's head, and began to thrust until Dee gagged. She chuckled and continued to fuck Dee's face for a long while before she pulled out.
"I'm hungry. Let's eat that salad, now."
Dee had a seven-inch, thick erection that Gina stroked, just once, as Dee stood up. She loved the way Dee's eyes glazed over when she did that.

If you believe the news over the last 24 hours then Manchester United want to sign Cheick Tiote in the summer, and they will do that if they can meet the price owner Mike Ashley puts on the Ivorian's head and that may be in the region of £15M.
Cheick Tiote – played well this season
And United have shown they are not too picky about paying over the odds for their players – especially in the position they find themselves in after David Moyes has come into the club as the new manager.
So if the news is correct, you have to believe the Red devils will be able to meet the price that Ashley wants for our top defensive midfielder, and the fact the our vice-captain has been one of our best players this season will not dissuade Ashley from selling him.
And then Newcastle will go after a replacement for about one third of the money they get for the 41 capped Ivorian International – that's part of the owner's strategy at Newcastle.
And the news today from ITV Sport is that Manchester United even tried to sign Cheick Tiote last month, and for once Newcastle blocked the move – with there being significant fury from the Newcastle fans that the club sold Yohan Cabaye to PSG early last week and didn't bother to replace him. 🙁
What a way to run a football club.
Certainly Cheick Tiote has shown he can play very well in the Premier League, and although he had a poor game last Saturday against Sunderland, he seems to have played much better since he has been captaining the Newcastle side, in Coloccini's absence with his knee injury.
We'll be very sorry to see Cheick leave the club – because he's a smashing lad who always gives his very best for the Tyneside club, and we expect him to be one of the leaders who helps Newcastle get back to our winning ways after Saturday's ultimate disaster.
But he will leave – just as long as Manchester United are willing to pay the requisite fee for the 27 year-old – which we think they will be.
After what Newcastle did last week, we've lost confidence in the leadership at the club, since all they seem to be worried about is the money – plain and simple.
And that will never make Newcastle into a top four side again.

Never had a choice before.
On my 454 C-3 I'm converting to a serpentine setup and what I have at the moment is an oil cooler and a transmission cooler mounted in front of the radiator.
I have found a 17" 3400 cfm (pusher or puller) fan that will replace the mechanical fan.
My question is what if I moved the coolers to the inside of the radiator and mounted the fan as a pusher? (not room for fan out there also)
OR do I leave as is and mount the electrical fan as a puller on the inside of radiator.
I have always been under the impression, pushing was best but I really don't have a clue.
How would you do it?
Never had a choice before.
Leave the coolers mounted in front of the radiator and mount the fan on the other side. Make sure you have a good shroud too. If the fan has the cfms stated you should not have any problems with overheating.
Fan should work either way..the critical piece is the shrouding and also look at how air is directed to the radiator for a good airflow..Shrouding can be easily fabricated from aluminum flashing material that can be found at the local building supply. use pop rivets or the body panel glue to assemble the shroud. Most aftermarket fans come with a generic kind of shroud/mount that can be incorporated.
Thank you guys, we will make a puller, now that I went to a short water pump and eliminating the clutch fan have more room in there then I have ever seen on a car and the original shroud is staying, so no problem there.
Since I put on the oil cooler and went to 0w30 mobil-1, cooling has never been an issue with this car, where before after I built the engine, if ran on expressway for an hour, when you hit a town, it never over heated but temp would climb 20-30 degrees, for first 15 minutes in city driving and then go back to normal.
Thanks for the advice.
Good advice above Barry. Puller is better and a good shroud is priceless Good luck.

Annalee Newitz: The Future Is Coming to Get You
Scientists and science writers can rattle off all the sci-fi that inspired them to build great things. But Annalee Newitz, editor of io9, thinks that dystopian science fiction is less inspirational, but more influential.
Dystopian sci-fi cautions against our hubris. For example, when Google bought the robotics company Boston Dynamics — which builds robots for the military — journalists couldn't help but evoke Skynet, the fictional military software company that gives birth to The Terminator. "1984" has become a shorthand for government surveillance, and Edward Snowden name-checked George Orwell when he addressed the British public on Christmas Day 2013. "Part of the reason that people aren't rioting in the streets," Newitz tells Kurt Andersen, "is that we have been prepared for this kind of world, precisely by this science fiction." Frankenstein is often evoked when we hear stories about scientists tinkering with genetics. But that may be a double-edged sword, she says: Frankenstein has become so embedded in our imagination, the public may not be open to positive developments in biotechnology.
As more and more technology saturates our lives, does that make it harder for science fiction writers to do their imagining? "I think it just means that we're going to see a lot less of a boundary between science fiction as a genre and just fiction."
Bonus Track: Kurt Andersen's extended conversation with Annalee Newitz
- 9:52 – Dreaming of Electric Sheep: Newitz explains that Blade Runner came out at a time when we were done with "clean dystopias" like Logan's Run. Instead, we were looking for a way to imagine a more class divided future — still high-tech but corporate controlled. That vision is still so compelling (Beijing? Shanghai?) but it's time to imagine a new kind future.
- 12:28 – Elysium: In the film, unlucky souls (including Matt Damon) are stuck on Earth living a Mad Max kind of existence, while an orbital spaceship harbors the elite. It's a dream of the future where bodies can be easily repaired, and the prospect of living forever is within reach.
- 16:27 – The Singularity Is Near-ish: Some high tech gurus can't wait for computers to become self-aware and help us solve all our big problems. But Kurt and Newitz believe The Singularity will be messier and (to paraphrase William Gibson) not evenly distributed.
- 18:00 – M-M-Max Headroom: This 1980s TV show, which took place "20 minutes into the future" foretold a social media landscape with hackers and corporate execs watching audience attention second by second — except with clunky 20th century technology.
- 20:00 – How Should We Judge Sci-Fi: It's easy to judge science fiction based on its predictive qualifies. But Newitz says it's more important to look at how it shows us engaging with technology and what that implies.

Scott's "Songbird Selections" Bird Food?
This ad for Scott's "Songbird Selections" bird food is airing in my area.
Sorry Scotts, but I just can't get my mind around feeding birds food made by a company that has built its fortune on killings things that grow.
"Activist Judges"
Given Justice David Souter's announcement yesterday that he will retire from the bench, the tired old phrase, "activist judges," has already resurfaced.
Bear in mind that the definition of an activist judge is any judge appointed by a Democrat. Period. Judges appointed by Republicans, of course (I say in jest), are never "activists judges."
Fox News and Michelle Obama's Shoes
Yeah, I remember — "fair and balanced" — lots of stories like this about what Laura Bush wore (not):
Some important perspective here, i.e., what Fox won't tell you because above all else, the Obamas mustn't be seen as good people.
Happy May Day
What they don't want you to know about May Day.
Bush on Torture Circa 2003
Bush the Liar issued this eloquent statement on June 26, 2003 — in commemoration of United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture — while his administration was torturing people.
We were right not to trust anything, anything that bastard said.
