Love to humiliate my wife behind her back!
have been using my wife's friends to get off for a very long time. Usually I go through their hampers and try to find their used panties and j*** off to them as I sniff and lick them clean.
I've c** on their toothbrushes, in their shampoo and in their food when the opportunity arises. In our circle of friends I am known as the computer go to guy, this lets me in on some computer fixes for lots of these friends. You have no idea how many nude pictures I have collected of my wife's friends. If only most of these women knew I seen their most intimite parts and a**** in such manners, they would flip!
I also love sharing and posting extremely explicit nude images and videos of my wife online, without her knowing. I love knowing tons of guys have seen her in all these poses, doing all these sexual acts all the while jerking off to her. I've shared many of these photos and videos with people my wife knows very well; her ex-boss, her current closest coworker, and best of all her brother-in-law (her sisters husband) who also shows me pics and vids of his wife. Man just telling people about this got me hard as a rock...

I have my wife on a couple of sites. she does not know I take pics and vids of her naked.she does not like to be naked ,even when we have s** she has to have the lights off. she only wants s** about every 2 months so this turns me on knowing a lot of people is seeing her naked when she hates being naked.just knowing she is on the internet naked makes s** with her better.
Count me in. I took some photos of my wife naked a couple of years ago with a hidden camera. I've posted them and shared them online and get a huge thrill out of it. I even shared them locally on Craigslist and one guy claimed to know her. That was a bit scary, but it's still a huge rush. I'd like to find some guys willing to post them all over the internet. I post them, but then turn chicken after they've been up a couple of weeks and I'll take them down. But it's really hot to think about others posting them and me having no control.
Will comment, rate and tribute pics.
I love to expose my wife and family members who have no idea that I show their nude pictures to people on the internet and around town.
I would love to see her pictures and I have pictures of my wife for you to see and report anywhere you want to.
Love to trade pics and vids with you.
I love trading pictures too. I totally get off on seeing real wives and real women. I get off on knowing someone else has seen my wife like this and knowing they m********* while looking and thinking of her gets me super hard. I have posted her photo on Craigs List in other cities several times and I always get numerous replies. I often correspond back and forth with a guy or two I pick out, and on a few occasions have even shown her face in the pictures...thrilling but scary as well. I guess that is what gives me a rush.
One guy actually posted some of her pictures on joyfulMasturbators dot com. I am scared about them being there and now I am trying to get the guy to remove them. I have mixed emotions about her being so visible.
This is like an addiction and the more I show of her, the more I want to show if her.
Wish more guys left an e-mail address here, I would contact them, but like everyone else, I am a little nervous about posting my addy right here.
I shared sexy and nude pics of my wife with a guy I then chatted to on kik......so h**** knowing he wanked off looking at her :-)
Mines _AD_C if youre interested
I do the same thing. I love it
I haven't shared her yet, but have posted 4 close up videos of playing with her while passed out. I don't let her know about or see the vids for a few weeks then she finds out what others have been looking at and commenting on. Turn your sound up and you can hear how wet she is! Love know guys are getting off on her so let us know your thoughts. And please rate her vids if you enjoy her.
email us at email@example.com
Howdy....would like to share videos...here is one to get started....reply here or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com...and turn your sound up if you want hear how wet she is....get off know guys are getting off on her.]
I do this when she is passed out on wine and ambien....sometimes I let her see them a few weeks later...
I love to expose my wife too. and hear the comments
I love to share my wife's pics...after I've promised to delete them. Mostly I do it on chat lines and I would bet hundreds of guys have sen her naked now. The funny thing is that she is a super straight Mormon lady.
That is amazing!
My wife is the relief society second counselor. I would love to swap some pics! email@example.com
My husband did this to ME and I have had to tell people the pictures they saw were photoshopped! He turned me from a good Christian woman into a sluuty w**** and now I cannot even feel comfortable going to church!!
Hahaha sorry w****, at least a bunch of people got to see your p****
Good on him. You sound like you need to be exposed.
For some reason I do this as well. I have a burning desire to expose her to the world. I get off when people post that she is hot and love to j*** off to her.
I also have posted many pictures of ex-girlfriends on the internet too. It is unlikely that someone close to her or them will find them. As not many of her friends and family look for p***.
I do it very anonymously, and with fake profiles on certain sites. I always do a google search to see if they show up when typing in key words.
If I do ever get caught, I will just say that I must have been hacked and the pics were stolen.
Why do I do this? I believe I am just a natural born pervert. Always have and always will be. Do I feel love? Yes I believe I do in my own way. But this is what gets me off. And as long as I play it smart and don't get found out, I will continue doing it until I have had enough.
Sorry if this offends anyone, but I am honest about these feelings.
You described myself to a tee. lol.
dont share pics but would like to chat about the wife. any chat rooms where men can compare wives? how did it get to tghis? easy, my wife hasn't shown any interest in me in quite a while. i got tried of it -- complicated relationship - extended family etc -- i love my wife but not in a romantic way anymore and will spend the rest of my days taking care of her etc. talking / sharing about her in a fantasy / would like to turns me on. hmm, how about this? shes got 44dds and is really a fat little oinker anhyowne want to train her?
I love humiliating my wife...posting pics of her naked, exposing her in public, letting guys use her for fun and much else. I do not care what anyone thinks.
I am one of the wives that found out my soon to be ex-husband was posting nude photos of me while he was soliciting men, women, and couples, as well as, propositiong them. So to all that think this is humerous...look up "video voyeurism" in the state of Louisiana. I have already contacted detectives and will be making my report Monday, with ALL of my evidence. This is considered a criminal act. Penalty is at least $10,000.00 and up to one year of HARD LABOR. And he will have to publically list himself as a s** offender. He too had the sarcastic attitude like I am detecting in some of these post. But when he finds out there is a warrent out for his arrest, I truly believe his attitude will change. This is a man that has mentally and physically abused me, and has a sick addiction to p***. And on top of it all, I now know he is bi, gay, or whatever. I consider him to be a sick s** addict. And yes....this is a man I loved dearly at one time.
So to all of you men, why don't you have enough respect to ask your wife if she would consent to posting her photos? Are maybe you know she would disapprove....that would be my guess!!
I have been doing much the same for years, I love that strangers see very explicit photos and videos of her. Most she does not even know I have taken. I usually make sure that she is not wearing a bra and has flimsy or very low cut tops on when we are out. I sometimes expose her...
I have sold lots of her panties over the years, I usually include at least one very explicit photo and one face photo.
Keep up the good work!!!!
i wish i was your wife
I love sharing explicit photos and videos of my wife to people she knows. It is so hot knowing that people she meet and talks to have seen photos of her naked, with her legs wide open... as well as friends i have given photos to some of her family. I have told people who her the full details of her most intimate activities. It is so damn hot!!!
i also leave explicit photos of her in bars, rest rooms and other places..a few times i have s** with other women whilst they wore her best lingerie :)
Photographs in restrooms. That's a brilliant idea and so hot!
I actually did this too! So hot. I left my wife's pictures in a restroom at a truck stop. She would die if she knew that I left a picture of her face covered in c** and a picture of her f****** herself with three fingers in a public place for all to see. I can c** just thinking about the countless men who have jerked off to my w**** wife.
Original Poster: We have a lot in common, let's chat...Yahoo Messenger: cuckold_revenge
please send me her pics.
Hey, this is the original poster. If you want to know more let me know where I can get in touch with you, a website or e-mail addy I can talk it over with you about.
To have your wife exposed to the entire world send her pics to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and it will be done. Can't wait to expose her for you!
Sounds cool. I've done the hamper, toothbrush and mouthwash thing, myself.
Another good one is hair conditioner. Nothing like knowing a woman has rinsed her hair in your c**.
Where do you post her pix? Wife Lovers? (wifelovers dot com) or Show Me Your Wife (smyw dot org)
^ funny. :D Can we kick him out of the Pervert Union?
Men like you give perverts a bad name.
I hope she divorces you and takes you for everything you have.
You're a horrible man
and you don't love your wife.
F*** you, d*** head
go die or something.
What would you do if the wife found out?
This is the original poster. In answer to your question "What would you do if the wife found out?" Then I would threaten to have one of my online buds show off some of the most disgusting s** acts she has ever done and we filmed to all of her friends, coworkers, and family.
She would get the point because she knows what she has done, they would all be disgusted at my s***!
Was considering asking you to contact me...this response put it over the top. firstname.lastname@example.com
My wife 52 years old still petite with nice small but firm t*** with lovely always hard nipples and a lovely puffy p**** kept as bald as the day she was born just loves flashing it all off;mostly throu spring and summer months when it's warm out,she likes nothing more than to wear a very thin white cotton blouse no bra and buttons 1-3 left undone,nice short pleated skirt no panties and 2-3 inch heels;go out to a shopping centre and ride the escalators so anybody behind can get a lovely eyeful of baldy p**** and firm apple shaped buttocks ; we sometimes pick a spot at the top to sit so as guys or girls get 3-4 steps from the top and with her legs slightly akimbo they can see the moist p**** and her nice hooded erect clitty on full view;it's also fun in a good shoe store with a young assistant boy or girl helping her try on strappy shoes or long thigh length boots;she has "pulled" often this way and gone on to have some very naughty explosive fun with both guys and girls whilst I go off for a coffee until she has been serviced fully and returns to tell me all about it,once home or out in a nearby meadow we then have such wild and wanton s**

Dear AllIts been a while since i visited Sitepoint... Since its old design thumbs up for the new design
Im working on a small system the system main job is registering students attendance
Im having some issues on how to go about it
so far i managed to code these modelsAuthentication ModelProfile ModelStudents ModelSubjects ModelNow im facing issues on how to make lecturers add students attendance with ease
I tried to make a page where the lecturer select his/her subjects from Select Box and the students list would be populated using AJAX
However i faced several issues with submitting multiple forms on the same page(Every student name has his on form) and due to my limited knowledge in JS and AJAX.
Please how would you design such a model ?
Your expertise would be a great help
Thanks everyone
Without seeing any code it is difficult to say, but it sounds as if your Models contain just 1:1 object to single database entities, and you need something with JOINS.
If I have completely misunderstood then can you show us what you mean by a Students Model? (just show the stubs of the methods if you like).
Cups thank you for the replyMy application is simpler then that i do not need joinMore Explanation:Students Table-id-fname-sname-lname-level
Subjects Table-id-code-name-hrsweek-level-lecturer_id
Lecturers Table-id-name-user_access_id
All students model does is view all students based on their level (LEVEL)Any students who miss 3% of the class total hours get 1st warningIf he she reaches 7% then a second warning and so on
Now im trying to achieve that so far by making a table called attendanceWhere it will containStudents ID, subject ID, total hours missed so far,And maybe another table which will have the percentage allowed
Some issues im facing[B]Issue #1How to make the input of attendance as easy as possible for the lecturer.Possible AnswerList all students and there will be a form for each student (similar to face book comments)Lecturer look for that particular student from the list right his her hours missed and if there is a reason or not then submit form it will be updated using Ajax.I faced so many problems with that due to my limitation with JS.
Another solution im working on is list all students click on the student a pop up will show with a form where a lecture can add the students hours missed and the reason then the 2nd …. So on[/B]
This link is very helpful well at list part of the issue
How big do you expect this to get? (No. of students, no. of classes, etc.). Unless you're talking hundreds of thousands of records then it seems to me you'd be better having the 3%, 7% etc. checks configured as reports (perhaps PHP files run as a daily cron task), rather than configuring the results in the database. (Or perhaps just have a recording table that the cron task writes the results to).
The attendance table seems to me to need:
ID* | Student_ID | Class_ID** | Lecturer_ID
The Lecturer_ID should be known from the lecturer being logged in. He would then define the Class_ID by choosing the Class** from a list. (AJAX could then be used to define the list of students expected to attend that class - see next sentence). He could then multi-select the students attending (either via a combobox list, or checkboxes). All these items would be in a single form, so that when the form is submitted it has all the data ready to be processed.
*Autonumber type of thing**I would have a table of Classes. And also a table of StudentsPerClass containing Class_ID | Student_ID
Siteguru Simply WOW
there are 9 subjects for every yearThere are 4 yearscurrently there are an average of 25 student in every yearwhen a student reach 3% of the subject total hours then he gets a first warning7% second warning10% bard from the classIF With reason then it get extended to 15%Every Subject has different hours per weekeach subject teached in 28 weeksEach lecturer has 1 or more then 1 subjecteach student has few subjects
I MANAGED TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE except for the reports still working on it
siteGuruWhats crun jobsmy skills of PHP is limitedhowever im googleing about it now
I got disconnected yesterday from the net so i did something on my ownits as followsUI Wisestep one = the lecturer select attendance then a subjects will be listed (Subjects belong to this particular lecturer)step two = The lecturer select the subject he want to add attendance from the list then the subject details get displayed and the list of student under itstep three = Lecturer Selects the student who missed the class or part of a class A new PAGE (my weakness with JS) will display with the student information and his total hours missed so far...etc and a FORMstep four = The lecturer fill in the form with ClassDate Missed, Hours Missed, and with Reason or not then submit. Lecturer close page and so on
Note that this process does not happen for all students only for the students who missed the class or particular hours of the class
Attendance Registration (PHP Side)
When the lecturer fill up the form and click add attendance for a particular student this what happen
Step 1

North Surrey Minor Football is a non-profit association that is run completely by volunteers. The goal of our association is to provide a safe and structured opportunity for youth to learn competitiveness and fair play through being aware of the rules and good sportmanship in either football or cheerleading. We are a located out of Bear Creek park in the north end of Surrey B.C. North Surrey Minor Football is part of the Vancouver Mainland Football League consisting of teams all over the lower mainland as well as Vancouver Island. Lower mainland teams are located as far west as Richmond and Vancouver east to Aldergrove. As well there are teams located from Coquitlam down to South Delta and Tsswassen. Games are mostly Sundays with the occasional mid-week game at night and practices are held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The season starts the beginning of July and runs through to mid-November with playoffs going into early December. North Surrey football has football teams at all levels of minor football. These start at the flag level (ages 6-7) where the kids play a nine man non contact ball. Next we have Atom (ages 8-9) where the kids play full contact ball but again with only nine players on the field. From there the kids play the full 12 man ball from Peewee (ages 10-11), Junior Bantam (ages 12-13), Bantam (ages 14-15) up to and including Midget (ages 16-18). As well we have an excellent cheerleading program the also involves kids from the ages of six up to eighteen. These are grouped into ages of Atom (6-8 year olds), Peewee (9-11 year olds), Jr. Bantam (12-14 year olds) and Seniors (15-18 year olds). The executive of the club is elected once a year during the annual general meeting and other positions on the board are appointed. We hold monthly meetings at the club house and invite all members to attend and catch up with the day to day business of the football club.
Located at 13750 88 Ave in Surrey, British Columbia, North Surrey Minor Football Clubhouse is a company inside the associations, clubs & organizations category of Canpages website.

The Analogy of Religion
by Joseph Butler
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0766171949, Paperback)If the reader should meet here with anything which he had not before attended to, it will not be in the observations upon the constitution and course of nature, these being all obvious; but in the application of them, in which, though there is nothing but what appears to Mr. Butler of some real weight, and therefore of great importance. Yet the reader will observe several things, which will appear to him of very little, if he can think things to be of little importance, which are of any real weight at all, upon such a subject as religion. The proper force of the following treatise lies in the whole general analogy considered together. Added are two brief dissertations of personal identity, and of the nature of virtue. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English.

Wrap It Up!
Plastic bags (purchased on the CHEAP from Treasure 4 Teachers) in different sizes
Names printed out and pre-cut for easy tear-off
Stack of newspapers, roll of masking tape and stapler
My method for wrapping is to put the sculpture in a corner of a full newspaper sheet.
Fold over the corner
Fold over right side,
then left side,
Then roll it up gently, burrito-style.
Wrap tape around to close (not too tight!).
Place in bag & staple name tag to outside
My kids are told NEVER to put their clay pieces in their backpack but rather carry the bag in their hands. Can't remember a time when anyone told me their work broke before getting it home...
What method do you use?

A great idea from last year's student teacher, that I used this year as well when making coil pots with my 4th graders with fragile air dry clay. We collected tissue boxes, the cube style. We cut the top to the corners for easy opening, and made a nest of newspaper in the bottom. Then I had a bunch of extra fiberfill stuffing that we used, but newspaper or foam peanuts would be OK too. Finally we taped the box shut, and like you I recommended holding the box in their hands. I often tell kids, when send I home clay projects, to imagine that they are baby birds, and they haven't learned to fly yet.ReplyDelete
I like the baby bird analogy - thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Motor Speedway is offering a unique opportunity for its competitors to showcase their sponsors on Friday nights during the month of May. During the month of May, Stafford Speedway will be hosting Business Expo events. These events will provide sponsors the opportunity to advertise their products in front of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series consumers. Sponsors of any weekly race team, as well as Stafford Motor Speedway sponsors and advertising partners, are invited free of charge to display their products or services on the midway during the month of May.
"Sponsors are a huge part of racing, both for the competitors and the Speedway," said SMS COO/GM Mark Arute. "Many of our long standing team sponsors are struggling to continue their participation in local motorsports.

The following is extreme, even for Richard Littlejohn. He reckons that prime minister Gordon Brown looks like a paedophile. Today he wrote in his Daily Mail column: "There he sat with his unnerving kiddiefiddler grin, his hands shaking, insisting that what happened last year was all a terrible misunderstanding and talking about the difficult year ahead. No, not Chris Langham, though it might just as well have been, with the leftwing media falling over itself to rehabilitate him. This was Gordon Brown on the Andrew Marr show as part of the Great Relaunch." Brown, reported to be reasonably friendly with Mail editor Paul Dacre, must be wondering what Littlejohn will do for an encore.
Here's Richard Littlejohn speaking on Radio 4's Andrew Marr programme half an hour ago: "The Sun is an establishment paper... Newspapers that get into bed with government are compromised in some ways." He was promoting his book Littlejohn's Britain which is a compilation of his old Sun and more recent new Daily Mail columns. He was surprisingly uncontroversial and won't have been at all put out by Paddy Ashdown's observation: "I hate Richard Littlejohn, I hate the Daily Mail... and I hate the way his columns make me laugh." Praise with faint damns.

Yul Kwon on "America Revealed"
Have you ever looked at a stop light, a slice of pizza, or the hot air coming out of your hair dryer, and wondered: What and who went into making this? A new four-part PBS series called "America Revealed" delves into this question; scaling back from small everyday items to give viewers a big picture view of how America functions. Along the way, it doesn't just unveil the secrets of how stuff is made; it also tells a story of America's history and people.
The series is hosted by Yul Kwon, an attorney, businessman, and technology expert, who you might also recognize as the 2006 winner of the reality show "Survivor." Yul joins The Takeaway from the studios of our partner WGBH in Boston.
"America Revealed" premieres on PBS on Wednesday, April 11.

Bailey and Cueto are slight fellows with intriguing but decidedly sub-Lincecum stuff.
In general, I'm for finishing a kid at the level where he started even when he's dominant. You don't know how a league's going to adjust to him. You don't know how an increased workload will affect him. Too often a kid gets hot and then he jumps two or three levels until he either cools down and/or gets way out of his depth.
Six games in Chattanooga for Cueto was a ridiculously short stop at that level. The Reds, per their norm, have once again forgotten that pitching development is a drawn-out process that requires immense patience and self-restraint. We're not going to know what Johnny Cueto missed in AA and neither will he until a set of problems that he might have been able to work through at that level begins to gang up on him in AAA or the majors. How would Johnny Cueto handle AA with a tired arm? Give him a full season there and you'd likely find out. How's he going to handle more advanced hitters when they get a bit of book on him? No one knows.
What I do know is the number of sub-24 pitchers who are much of any good in the majors is small (23's a bit of gray area, but 22 and under is usually fodder city). Most get hammered. Teams rush them for no reason. They're supposed to dominate in the minors and then teams act like doing what a top pitching prospect should do is suddenly exceptional. Matt Garza wasn't ready last year, now that he's had some time in AAA (which he didn't tear up) and with his 24th birthday getting closer, he's looking a lot better.
The reason you don't promote a kid pitcher willy-nilly just because he had a few good games is the same reason you don't skip a kid ahead a grade everytime he/she gets a few A's. There's more to learn and that kid will need some time and space to learn it.

Why not Tromp?
Oliver Perez failed twice by the time was 24. Curt Schilling was deemed a lost cause by the Orioles and Astros before he broke through. The Orioles also gave up on John Maine at the ripe old age of 24. Roy Halladay had a disastrous season at age 23, but since then, I daresay, he's been pretty good.
The Pirates figured Bronson Arroyo was a wash out at age 24. Randy Johnson wasn't doing squat in the majors until he was 26.
Hasn't anybody noticed the large amounts of time it takes to develop truly good pitchers? The number of supposed failures who've gone on to succeed with different teams after their initial clubs gave up on them?
If all you're trying to do is find that rare kid who can be wildly successful at a young age and stay healthy then keep with business as usual. Yet if you want to build a quality pitching staff I suggest taking a more measured approach.
Why not Tromp?
Sometimes its good to challenge thy prospect, not coddle them. People rise to the occassion. Thrive on the adversity. And sometimes a prospect has to pay their dues and take their lumps(i.e. Oliver Perez, Roy Halladay, Schilling, etc.) in order to get over the hump and put it all together.
There is nothing wrong with adversity, if said prospect has the pyschy to handle it. There is nothing wrong with a prospect learning to pick themselves up and dust themselves off when they have failed. There are lessons to be learned on this side of the coin as well.
If this was the old Reds brass, doing the same ol' same ol', then I would more than likely echo your concerns a bit more M2. But this is a new regime, with different scouts, and different philosphies.. and it seems that this regime, for the most part, believes that a guy should go through each level and not be overpromoted. Krivsky has stated this many many times. But, as has been stated, each prospect is unique. They are individuals, with their own set of skills and own set of flaws. If Krivsky and CO deem it appropriate to promote someone, I'm going to trust in that for now, until I see an established track record of failure, ala the Bowden era.
"I hate to advocate chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone... But they've always worked for me."
-Hunter S. Thompson
The big key is that when they do take their lumps to not give up on them.
Obviously Bronson Arroyo, Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling etc didn't just wash out of the majors. If you're a good enough talent, you'll get it figured out.
But the trick is for the Reds brain trust to trust themselves enough to think, hmm this kid is 22, it's pretty normal for 22 year olds to get kicked around in the majors, maybe we should stick with him.
One major reason for keeping a player at one level for an extended period of time even when doing very well, is to allow him to adjust to the ever-increasing pressure that exists with every level. This game is as much mental as it is physical.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
I rarely have seen an ACE of a staff who didn't struggle his first 2 years in the Majors.
Johan Santana is typical of this.
The best pitcher in baseball for 2005-2006, yet he had an enormous ERA his first year that would have had most here screaming "over-rated" and "trade him while you can". His second year was no better than what Lohse gave the REDS these last two years, and that would have certainly had the "get rid of the bum" comments aflaring on this site.
Pitching takes lot's of time and is a contant adjustment every year of one's career. Hitting is, too, but it doesn't have the roller-coaster swings in performance that pitching displays.
A pitcher has a greater chance for success if he's moved up slower than moved up faster. Of course, you want to move him along perfectly, but if you are to error, error on the side of slow.
The mental pressure of the game is just too difficult. See Coffey, Todd.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
B) I'm cool with them failing at age 24, often times at 23. I pretty much work off of the assumption that it's going to take 300 IP for a pitcher to learn the major league ropes. The difference in waiting is they're more mature, mentally and physically. They're also closer to the point where they can be successful. Hopefully it means fewer lumps to take and less of a chance for the club to get fickle.
What I see going on is the same desperate grabs into the minors that routinely failed in previous regimes. It's not going to work any better just because it's a new group of desperate folks doing the grabbing.
Why not Tromp?
I think people over-exaggerate the importance of advancing players slowly. Like dougdirt basically said, some players need it, and other don't, IMHO.
Get MLBtraderumors Reds updates on Facebook.
It seems I started quite a debate. I was fully expecting both players to spend next year at AAA refining their games, and it would seem the consensus is that both pitchers will be at the major league level next year, whether or not they are ready.I suppose both pitchers will take their lumps next year while they are adjusting to major league hitters. Bailey has had some experience, but it is possible he was hurt this year, and that may have had an effect on him this year. I hope for their sake they are ready when they come up.
I know this debate has raged for years and (btw) I always get caught up in it.
I just fail to understand the thought that if a 22 year old pitcher is over promoted and comes to the big leagues and is hit hard that he is shot- that this experience does him irreperable harm. I don't get that. They have to be so mentally weak. Two years later, at age 24, would it make any difference? Maybe they just can't handle adversity......period.
We have a case study! Is Bailey less of a prospect, in the eyes of the Reds, after his tenure in the bigs? I would certinly hope not.

text: Well after almost 2 days of digging i found an AC Delco part number for the kit, however it doesn't seem to exist in any of the autoparts databases. There is a company in CA that sells them for $55 + shipping. The part number is AC DELCO K72943, and the name of the joint that carries them is CT Powertrain. Here is a link to the kit http://www.ctpowertrain.com/servlet/the-72/4T80E-NEW-OEM-UPDATED/Detail. Hope this makes someones life less confusing than mine ;)

No doubt. im not saying a monkey could get behind the wheel at do 9s 1/4 @ 150mph. but there is far LESS skill involved then doing fast consistent laps on a road course.
and a monkey could drag 90% of the cars you see at the track. just not this wrx, the gt40 you described, funny cars, ect ect.

It's all about what floats your boat...regardless of if you like to drive strait or not, if it makes you feel good DO IT! This is a debate with no right or wrong answers.
This monkey likes to go fast. You say it takes more skill to do rally, well I think it takes just as much skill to launch and shift during a drag race. Don't get ME wrong, if there were a rally track around my area I would give it a try for sure, but there's not so....deal dude. You have your likes and we have ours
its fine to have an opinion about whats fun or not fun. and your right, its totally subjective. but i wasn't really touching on weather drag racing is fun or not. in regards to skill you can think what ever you want. but if you think launching and shifting in a drag race requires anywhere near the same skill as circuit/rally, you would be wrong - for the simple fact that almost every other form of racing included launching, shifting, and maximum acceleration in a straight line.
I can agree with the launching taking skill, most people just rev up their cars and dump the clutch. A really good launch takes some skill to perform, but shifting is like, the easiest thing to do. Kick your foot into the clutch and change gears... Like, i taught my brother how to perform the Ultimate drag launch a couple months ago. (which i learned by researching launching techniques for the WRX) Basically, you just rev up the engine to whatever rpms (depneds on the car) and then pull the clutch out slowly until you feel it engaging and then just release the clutch when it's time to go. So it's not throwing the full load all at once onto the clutch and tranny, it may burn the clutch a little, but it's worth it. I'm not trying to argue against drag racing either, in fact i like drag racing, but when i finally get my WRX, i'm eventually going to build it up for autocross...
OK Nuggets....I didn't mean to offend you. I really have no idea what kind of skill it takes to do rally/auto cross becuase I have never had the opportunity. The only point that I intended to make was that not just any 'monkey' can drag race, it does take skill, and I'm damn proud of the fact that I can do it. Not many girls my age can even drive a manual. OK, now I've said my peace.
However, shifting fast and not missing a gear when your nerves are maxed out does, for me anyways. That's something that I am continuing to improve on. I usually don't miss a gear, but I shift too slow and I am losing time because of it.
Me too, my first night i went racing around in my Jetta, i was flawless in my shifting, even in my 2nd - 3rd, and then I said something to my friends about how i have yet to misshift, and now i can't shift fast 2nd - 3rd WITHOUT misshifting I always shift hecka slow to third geard because i'd rather shift slowly then keep on missing gears....
wink wink, nudge nudge, I am not an idiot. Don't test me. Street racing discussions are not permitted here

It happened to me 7 times in one day, about 12 times in 2,000 miles. My 20 minute commute turned into an hour one morning. It has happened to me on more than one occasion. The first time I took it to get fixed the repair people failed to fix the problem and also broke the Nav system.
Ford now claims that they have released a software update specifically to fix the car shutting down so I let the service department update the OS on March 6. When I got the car back the Nav system still wasn't working properly. So its going back to Ford.
Sorry to hear about your gas issues, I called the dealership angry and told them that I wasn't going to take a rental and I definitely wasn't paying for gas. They gave me a used Infiniti with a full tank. While I was driving it I kinda fell in love. Hopefully in a few years Infiniti releases an EV.
I am very pleased with the sales department at Folsom Lake Ford, they were awesome. Unfortunately I will never buy another Ford because of the terrible experience I have had with the vehicle and the service department.
After less than a month I realized that I would never buy another gas powered vehicle. Electric is definitely the way to go. I wish that I would have gotten a good electric instead of the lemon I'm stuck with.

text: Warner has gone totally BluRay. http://www.cnbc.com/id/22507036/site/14081545 There is no way HD-DVD can survive now, with only 2 major studios on board (Paramount and Universal). It will be interesting to see if this makes Universal go neutral, but I guess that depends on what kind of deal they have with the HD-DVD camp. Paramount are of course stuck with HD-DVD for the next year or so after signing their exclusive deal back in the summer. I am sure Sony had something to do with this, but then it does make sense for WB as 300 on BluRay far outsold the HD-DVD version, even though the HD-DVD version had more extras.

I don't think they really ever "moved away" from it. .45 ACP has never been a standard caliber for the majority of agencies throughout the years. Back in wheelgun days, the vast majority of agencies carried .38 or .357 magnum. Then, a large scale transition was made to high-capacity 9mm pistols to equal the firepower of the bad guys. Within the last 10 years or so, there has been a large scale move to .40 S&W, which is by far the most issued LE caliber today. .45 is still in use with a few agencies, and many officers that can choose their sidearm pick .45 ACP.
I would think that barrier penetration would be good with modern bullet technology with .45, but I have heard that Texas DPS went to .357 Sig and prefer it to their old .45s because of better barrier penetration through automobile barriers, which are a factor in most of their shootings. I've seen 9mm ball ammo outpenetrate .45 ball ammo on the same barrier material (steel), but this isn't directly related to duty JHP ammo. I know that testing in the military showed that NATO 9mm ammo will penetrate a helmet at a much greater distance than .45 ball ammo will.
