Lady Gaga's Father Opening Restaurant
Joe Germanotta – that's Papa Gaga to little monsters — is planning to open a restaurant in New York City. He will name the restaurant 'Joanne,' in honor of his late sister, who died at 19 from lupus. Little monsters are familiar with Joanne, too, since Lady Gaga's full name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and she always speaks about feeling a connection with her late aunt.
Of course the eatery will serve Italian-American food! Gaga has spoken at length about her traditional Italian upbringing and feasting on pasta dinners at her home, so the restaurant will specialize in such cuisine.
New York reports that the restaurant will hold court at 70 West 68th Street, the former location of Vince and Eddie's. Mr. Germanotta plans to open the space around Thanksgiving. Word is that Art Smith, a celeb chef who has cooked for Oprah and appeared on 'Top Chef Masters' will be the chef at Joanne. Smith offered up a cryptic statement when asked if he was cooking to be a part of Joanne; it's neither a yes or a no, so it's anyone's guess as to whether or not he has signed on for this establishment.
Now little monsters in the Big Apple have a new place to mangia restaurants! It wouldn't shock us in the slightest is Gaga showed up at the eatery's grand opening. In 12-inch heels and some sort of couture garb.

Guy on the ruger forum titled it "Laser explodes, destroys LCP"
He had a squiib load and didn't realize it. Got the kaboom on the next round. What was cool was crimson trace and ruger both replaced the laser and the LCP. He said he explained what happened, his fault, and asked if he could get a replacement deal.
Good on Ruger and crimson Trace.

How bad do you want to lose in your fantasy league?
I can get you from the overall first pick to the depths of last place faster than a Mark Sanchez butt fumble.
It was in everyone's best interest that two decades ago I swore off playing in rotisserie-style anything of any kind -- football, baseball, golf, Little League T-ball. I continue to enjoy this cleansing of the soul and maintain a purified outlook at just how messed up a fantasy league can be to the psyche and checkbook.
So, with that, I checkedout a new book by Matthew Berry.
In "Fantasy Life: The Outrageous, Uplifting and Heartbreaking World of Fantasy Sports from the Guy Who's Lived It" (Riverhead Books, $27.95, 338 pages), I hesitate to say fantasy looks real again.
Before I take that walk of shame again, I needed to track down Berry, who once lived in Sherman Oaks when he did TV sitcom writing but has since moved to Connecticut (perhaps the requirements of a witness protection program):
Q: Fantasy leagues took up too much of my time and energy and I was losing to guys who picked players with as much research as they would in making a $2 bet on a thoroughbred at Santa Anita. Why should I consider ever getting back into it? Can you convince me one way or another?
A: Unless you're anti-fun, and I don't get that sense, why would you not want to do it? You get to have a rooting interest in games you'd normally not care about. And if you're not a sports fan, you have a reason to watch. Now that you're older, you probably would have a little better perspective of all that.
Q: The perspective I have is feeling that sports fantasy leagues are too mercenary. It forces you to invest a rooting interest in a player which could be at the expense of rooting against a team you've already been emotionally tied to for many years. Is there a way to rectify that psychological hurdle?
A: It goes to your fandom. I don't think there's anything wrong with rooting for individual players over your 'real life' team. It really sounds more like you have some guilt issues, to be perfectly honest. So who cares? I get questions a lot, from those especially who are anti-fantasy, who say, 'That makes you root for players instead of teams.' I'm like, 'Who are you to legislate how I enjoy sports?' There are different ways to enjoy everything in life. Whether I'm rooting for the group of players I've selected on a fantasy team or you're rooting for another group of players that a general manager has selected, we're still rooting for groups of players. As long as we're both enjoying sports, who cares how we're doing it?
Q: I guess I've felt I had conflicted rooting interests. And I was spending way too much time away from my family in pursuit of winning.
A: Got it. In that case, maybe pick your teams a little better. If you want to win, it's not necessarily the best strategy to pick your favorite players, but I don't have an issue with that because in the end fantasy is supposed to be fun. That's what this book is supposed to show. It's not a book about how to win your fantasy league and crush your opponents. It's a book that celebrates all the things I love about fantasy sports -- the trash-talking, the punishments for losing, the trophies, the creative ways people have tried to cheat. There's a story from Senator Rick Santorum about how he had to do a fantasy draft on the day he dropped out of the presidential race. What's lost in there is he plays in an American League-only fantasy baseball league. The reason he does it is because he was from Pennsylvania, where he has the Pirates and Phillies as National League teams, and he didn't want to have to root against either of those teams. That was the idea.
Q: That makes sense. In reading the book, I get the sense you've become used to being a 'fantasy shrink,' where people confess to someone like you who'd understand where they were coming from. Is that how you feel?
A: There is the saying that the most interesting conversation in the world is all about your fantasy team. And the most boring conversation in the world is anyone else's fantasy team. Right? It's the new golf story or vacation pictures. No one cares about your team other than you. Except me. That's my job. I like to hear it. I want to hear it. And I'm amazed what people admit to me. I've been playing almost 30 years and there were many stories where I was like, 'Wow, I've never heard that one.' I thought I'd get a lot of stories about guys who drafted while their wives were giving birth, those kinds of things. I was shocked by the majority of the stories I got -- like a league that forced the loser to get a tattoo of Justin Bieber. A guy who continued drafting through a bombing while he was in Afghanistan. A league that forced its loser to dress like a lion while the other owners hunted him down with paintball guns. There's the league where a guy and his wife are owners and the wife passes away, so the husband starts making these trades with the dead wife ...
Q: You've also tapped into stories about a priest, a rabbi or and a minister in a league ... and all hell breaks loose?
A: Sounds like the start of a bad joke, but it's actually three different leagues. Cheating pastors! I couldn't believe that happens, but it has. In a league filled with other pastors at his church.
Q: You can justify fantasy leagues as something that "gives people who normally would not have a reason to interact an excuse to talk ... from the CEO and mailroom guys to your long-lost cousins and everyone in between." What if I wanted to be in a fantasy league and not talk to anyone? Does that defeat the purpose?
A: Not at all. Go to ESPN.com and sign up for an anonymous league. But now I'm sensing some conflict, more guilt, some anti-social behavior. I think you've got more issues to work through here.
Q: Maybe I'm just in the wrong leagues. What other fantasy leagues that you do?
A: I have a fantasy summer movie league with all my buddies who are screen writers and directors. There's about 30 of us; we threw up a website called summermovieleague.com to keep track of it -- anyone can play if they want -- and you just pick 10 movies you think will make the most money for the summer for your own fantasy studio. I do pretty well, but I think this year "The Lone Ranger" is going to keep me from winning the title.
Q: That darn Adam Sandler.
A: I know, and I didn't even pick "Grown Ups 2."
Q: I could have told you to take that one.
A: Maybe this is a league for you then.
Q: As long as I don't have to get a tattoo if I lose.
A: Make sure that's in the bylaws.

Note: Berry will sign books and do a fantasy 'Q and A' at Barnes and Noble at the Grove near Farmer's Market on Fairfax on Monday at 7 p.m.

Green Armored Rip Tide Revealed on Skylanders Boomcast
Skylanders: Swap Force 3278 0
Green Armored Rip Tide has had a quick reveal on the latest episode of Skylanders Boomcast.
Host Zachery Gordon holds up the transparent figure, which fans have dubbed as Green Armored Rip Tide at the 0:19 mark for a couple of seconds during episode 3, with hashtag #AWESOME displayed on the screen.
The colour variant Rip Tide looks similiar to the Transparent Green Gill Grunt from Spyro's Adventure released in a special Wal-Mart exclusive bundle.
Rumour and speculation is the new green Rip Tide will follow in the same path and be released as a Wal-Mart exclusive bundle in the not-too-distant future.
Green Armored Rip Tide will most likely not appear as a colour-variant in-game given avid tech-fans have already determine the list of available in-game variants, and there is no mention of a green Rip Tide being on the list.
Regardless, the colour scheme looks #awesome and would look perfect on a shelf sitting pretty next to a transparent green Gill Grunt.
To see the newly revealed figure for yourself, check out the video below:

"The Defense" in San Diego!
By Felipe Leon
Boxing returns to San Diego, California this Thursday as Bobby D. Presents in association with Jorge Marron Productions promote a well-matched card titled "The Defense" at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel. In the scheduled eight round super bantamweight bout, Chula Vista's own Christopher Martin (15-0-2, 3 KOs) takes on the tough Eduardo "Lalo" Arcos (15-0, 12 KOs) of Tijuana, MX. The slick boxing Martin is coming off a rare KO of the durable Torrence Daniels last May in Sacramento while the brawling Arcos is on a six fight win streak with four of them coming in within the distance.
In the semi main event, hard hitting lightweight Andrew Cancio (9-1-1, 9 KOs) of nearby Blythe, takes on the experienced Cristian Favela (17-22-6, 10 KOs) of Los Angeles by way of Los Mochis, MX in an eight rounder. The 45-fight veteran Favela has faced an array of past and current champions as well as up and coming fighters such as Luis Ramos, Mercito Gesta and Danny Garcia not to mention Juan Carlos Salgado, Roman Martinez and Steven Luevano. In Cancio's last bout, he stopped the experienced Michaelangelo Lynks in five rounds.
In another super bantamweight battle, veterans Jose Luis Araiza (27-1, 19 KOs) and Jose Beltran (19-14-3, 11 KOs) will face off for six rounds while the night also marks the return of unbeaten local favorite Amaris Quintana (2-0-1) in a light flyweight attraction.
Amateur standout Antonio Orozco (4-0, 3 KOs) will take on Mario Angeles (1-2-1) in a four round jr welterweight fight.
Doors open at 6pm with the first punch thrown at 7:30pm. For tickets and information call 619.420.8866 or 619.743.0698. Tickets are also available at the Hotel Gift Store or by calling 858.277.8888.

We both joined Catholic Match (then St. Raphael's) at the end of 2002.
After reading one of Mike's posts in the message forums, I (Bethany)
browsed his profile. Shortly thereafter, he sent me an e-mail (late May
We exchanged e-mails for a while and began talking on the phone in
July. Mike suggested meeting—first at the end of August and then again
in early November—but I was really busy with my first semester in
graduate school and some family issues at the time. Honestly, I wasn't
sure if he was going to ask about meeting again, but he did. We finally
met for the first time the weekend before Christmas 2003.
Our first visit went very well…except for the part where Mike's plane
had radio problems that prevented him from taking off on his return
flight. Of course, we joked about it being the perfect way to ensure a
second visit!
Bethany: I knew Mike was
the kind of man I wanted to be friends with when he told me how much he
loved Christmas—decorating, baking Christmas cookies, stringing up
thousands of outside lights. But after spending two weekends together,
I knew he was the one.
Mike: After spending a few
months writing and talking to Bethany, I knew I was going to like her
as a friend. But after spending two weekends together, I knew she was
the one.
Mike returned to
Louisiana on New Year's Day 2004 to pick up his airplane (and to spend
a few more days with me!). We visited just about every month after
that, and in May 2004, Mike asked if I would do him the honor of
allowing him to court me.
Over the next few months, we continued
building our friendship and had the opportunity to visit with some of
each other's friends and family. On August 13th, Mike and I flew to
California to visit his mother, grandparents, and some friends.
During our trip to California, we attended Mass at the Carmel Mission
where we heard a homily about God being full of surprises. I remember
thinking that God had truly surprised me with Mike, that he was such a
blessing in my life. On August 16th, I dropped Mike off at the "local
airport," expecting that I wouldn't see him again until September 17th.
Mike: At this point I had
decided to propose marriage during our Christmas visit, but could no
longer wait. I went ring shopping after returning from California and
started planning a surprise visit.
On Saturday,
August 28th, some time around 11:00 a.m., I looked up and saw Mike
standing there in the coffee shop where I was working on weekends.
Surprised doesn't even begin to cover my reaction. I had talked to him
the night before. He was home. I was sure of it…I had called him!
Mike had left his house around three o'clock that morning in order to
surprise me.
Imagine my even greater surprise when, after dinner that night,
Mike asked me to marry him!! I never saw it coming! Our wedding will be
on May 28, 2005. We are grateful to Catholic Match for bringing us
together. We offer our prayers for the continued success of Catholic
Match, and we hope that others will find the happiness that we have

Re: WWE: The Evolution Of Greed
So, another PPV in the books. Another good one…
The first half of the opening video was excellent, it has to be said. Given how much I enjoyed the narration of it, I felt the second part of the video maybe let it down, and perhaps wasn't even needed. Still, gets the table set for the big post-WM show.
Interesting choice for the opener, but given the back story it's a match that has the fans invested from the get go. Early going played out as expected, and after a dominant opening period for Carlito, I expected the use of Torrie as a distraction would've opened up the door for Kenny to get on top. I liked the fact that Kenny was able to eventually turn the match in his favour by his own merits though. After solid work on the knee, it was a tad disappointing that CCC didn't sell it for long once he started to mount his comeback, and at some point, you just knew Torrie would be a factor, saving Kenny from losing the title. One positive aspect of having Carlito work as a face is that you're able to go all out on his flashy, high risk offence, and towards the closing stages of this one, you did just that. Honestly, the DQ was disappointing - but a necessary evil in order to keep the belt on Dykstra and not hurt Carlito.
The post match revenge for Carlito was nice, and that, coupled with the DQ itself, leads me to think there will be one more title shot in the offing for CCC before the two head in different directions. A feud for Cesaro right out of the gate with Carlito sounds good to me
, while Jeff Hardy could be a perfect opponent for Dykstra perhaps.
Linda showing up certainly throws a wrench into Vinces plans, and could be the perfect way to prevent them from ruining the main event later.
Not an earth shattering promo from Jeff by any means, but I liked the fire - excuse the pun - he showed in his interview.
I fully expected the tag match to be the opener, but no matter where this got placed on the card, I was looking forward to it. Good use of the athleticism of Benjamin early on in his mini battle with Punk, and it was a good idea to have the four men compete on an even keel, rather than have the faces dominate early on, before being worn down. While the competitive mano e mano nature was good to see, I noticed some nice subtle heel moves too, such as Benjamin pulling on Punks hair when bringing him to the corner which is a smart touch you sometimes wouldn't see. There was a nice original spot (at least I think it was) in there too with Punk performing a sunset flip and Shelton tagging out before the move was performed. The heel domination lasted just long enough without getting boring before the hot tag to Dinsmore. Liked Dinsmores offence, and the offence in general in the closing stages, including Haas mainly being a pest, saving Shelton from the Cloverleaf (twice eventually) and preventing the Doomsday Dropkick. Interesting to see SES getting a visual win with Benjamin tapping out, but the heels stealing the win.
I certainly expected a close match up, but for whatever reason I had a feeling TWGTT would win cleanly here, just to impose themselves as 'the best' and give SES a chance to come back at a later date to push them closer, but from this, it certainly seems that Punk and Dinsmore have the champions number, with this feud bubbling nicely now as the so called best team had to cheat to retain the belts. All in all, it was an enjoyable match, but it did feel like something was being held back, which could be smart if this is just the beginning of what I assume will be a long running rivalry.
The Van Dam promo was pretty basic and by the numbers, just really setting the stage for later. Nothing wrong with that.
Nice change of pace for the second tag match, starting off with the two power wrestlers. I would normally be opposed to running two tag matches back to back on a PPV, but this worked, given the match was a very different affair from the previous match, using a blend of the power guys, the quicker, flashier guys and of course - the ladies too. Kidd was a good choice to play the 'face in peril', and Smith a perfect guy to be the one to take the hot tag. Good finishing sequence after that, and I particularly enjoyed seeing Masters having no qualms slapping the Masterlock on Natalya - but my only gripe is that she didn't sell it for long after it was broken, almost immediately recovering to dropkick Masters out. Saying that, I just liked the fact that she had no problems mixing it up with the guys, and the outcome - while expected - was nicely written. A good win for the Harts on their PPV debut, and I see the imminent break up of MNM isn't too far away…
Looking at the KOTR draw, and it has to be said that the SD half of the draw looks much stronger - at least in terms of match quality, especially the Kendrick vs. London showdown. There should be a few other nice side plots in the early stages at least, with King Booker looking to win the tournament twice, and it'd be nice to see Lawler get a run for a feel good story. Hard to pick a winner at this point imo - which is a good thing.
Hardy starting strong seemed the right way to go, but it's good to see his reckless abandon working against him with Ortons dropkick turning the tables in a really well worked spot. While a fairly simple, effective match, the main story - for me - through the match was Orton doing just about everything he could to avoid the big moves from Jeff (Twist of Fate, Swanton) and though he eventually succumbed to the Twist of Fate, Jeff just couldn't nail the big Swanton, and is beaten in a big match yet again - cleanly. The clean win, and Orton not following up after with an attack (although that's probably due to not being allowed to use the case) suggests this issue is probably over and done with. Off the top of my head though, I cant see a natural feud for Orton right now on Raw after this, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him take off to Smackdown in the draft and perhaps cash in on Batista over there, as I don't see RVD being knocked off any time soon.
Good to see there will be no excuses from Cena should he lose tonight.
Must say - I LOVED the lead in package for HBK & HHH. Superbly put together, worthy of an epic feud such as this.
I don't think there was any other option you had but to go straight for it in this match. It just wouldn't have been natural for Triple H and Michaels in this environment to build toward the brawl aspect - it had to be from the opening bell. In general, I'm not a fan of crowd brawls, they just seem like a way to kill time usually, but credit where it's due here - the fight up to the technical area was well written. Surprised you had Trips go for an early cover. It just seems off, given the hatred between the two. I mean, I get he wouldn't expect the three at this time, and ordinarily would do it as part of a match, but given this isn't any old match, I wouldn't have expected a pin fall in the early going to cross his mind. After reading Trips getting clocked with the monitor I assumed that would be him busted open, but I guess we'll have to wait for that. While the crowd brawls are a pet peeve, a personal favourite of mine is the use of those television cables to choke people with. IMO, it just provides a great visual to use in a blood feud like this one. The addition of lines from commentary only added to it, with the inclusion of the lines from J.R especially a highlight - really helping to get the reader into the match.
Felt like a very ECW-esque spot when Michaels tied up Trips on the ropes, and went to work on him with the cane - and that's no bad thing. As you noted with Styles commentary, the biblical symbolism of the way HHH was tied up certainly wasn't lost on me, and only added to the match, Michaels character and the angle on the whole. Targeting the legs - knowing Trips history with his quad just goes to show how far HBK has fallen, with no mercy - actively going for his former best friends notoriously bad leg. The only way Trips was getting out of that horrible situation was with a low blow - it had to be done. Didn't quite get how he managed to free himself, and thought it might've been a bit easier to just have the referee help untie him while Michaels was done - but I digress, it's a minor critique. Triple H getting his payback with the cane was expected, and helped turn things back in his favour. Loved the dramatic nature of how the Pedigree through the table came to pass, with the tease, then it looking like things would swing toward HBK, but The Game finally hitting it. Ordinarily, that one might've been enough to end it - but Trips doesn't want to end it yet. A Pedigree on the steps would've been SICK, but honestly, I never truly expected it to happen - it would've ended the match for sure.
Michaels targeting the leg again goes to show how much intent he'll have to finish the Game for good here … and the Savage Elbow onto the chair and ankle is brutal - merciless even. Michaels character is simply golden at this point, applying a figure four, but telling the ref he DOESN'T want HHH to quit. "You evil bastard"; again, great use of lines from commentary. Generally I wouldn't have thought a Figure Four would work in a match like this, when neither man is overly 'known' for using it, but boy, you made it something here, and Trips turning it over just went to show how defiant The Game is - going on to kick out of SCM too. The missed Pedigree followed by Sweet Chin Music spot & the countered SCM into a spine buster on the steps followed by a Pedigree series of spots were great to read too, and helped break up the physical nature with a few nice counters (all the while keeping it physical - if any of that makes sense … I think I just confused myself there
). In keeping with the personal nature of the match too it made sense for Trips to use the sledgehammer to the back, rather than going for the skull - payback for HBK trying to take out the legs - going for Michaels well documented bad back. The finish?? Epic. A Sweet Chin Music wouldn't have fit in this scenario to end the match - it had to be something sick and twisted … and this didn't disappoint. The hammer to the skull, telling HHH "It didn't have to be this way" just sums up Michaels character. Superb.
Quick comment on the post match shenanigans - again, great writing. Teasing more pain for Trips, but simply blessing him was a disgusting, maniacal thing for Michaels to do, and along with his reaction to the slap from Stephanie, just goes to show how far off the edge HBK has gone. Following up, Triple H leaving on a stretcher gives a perfect excuse to get rid of Linda - and at the same time goes to show where Vinces priorities lie, not going, even after his daughter pleaded with him.
It might've been smarter to switch the six person tag with this one in terms of placement, as this womens match never had a chance to follow the No Holds Barred epic. The six person match would've been perfect to bring the fans 'down' again, whereas even as a reader, I had a hard time getting into this, and because of that, the title change didn't come off as important as perhaps it should have. That aside, you told a surprising enough story, as I expected this to play out with Victoria and Beth eventually breaking down, but that never really came to pass - despite a few accidental blows. That's a good thing, as you can build that dissention for another while before breaking the pair up. Didn't see the title switch coming though, having assumed you'd save Beth winning the belt for a one on one match.
Given the fairly weak state of the mid card - especially the heels - I expect Cesaro to make an almost immediate impact upon arrival. He should help freshen up the mid card scene.
Main event time, and the initial feeling out process certainly didn't outstay it's welcome. I assumed we'd have a long, slow opening segment of the match, so it was a nice surprise to have things open up a little early on, and didn't waste time to make it a physical match with spots like Cena catapulting RVD into the post and the suplex on the outside. On that note, it seemed a bit off that Van Dam would need to put his foot on the ropes after that. The Five Knuckle Shuffle should ALWAYS be countered at least once a match - such a silly move. Got a kick out of seeing the (chairless) Van Terminator - that could easily be a finishing move for RVD imo (against mid card guys at least), and I hope you continue to have him use it regularly in this manner. The spot where Cena avoided the Five Star then slapped on the STFU was a well written, exciting sequence, but I didn't get the feeling the end was near for RVD at that point, but was still a nice near ending spot, which got to show the will to win of the champion. You built up to the superplex spot well too, with Cena going out of his comfort zone and the step up enziguri stopping Cena. Following that near fall, the next three paragraphs of action was some superb action, culminating in the Five Star … BUT CENA KICKED OUT!!??
Clearly, despite being unlikely to win, you want to keep Cena strong, and kicking out of the Five Star will certainly do it. Part of me really thought it was over at that point, but with the threat of Vince and Lashley hanging over the match, I didn't expect it to end without some kind of run in from them. The kickout also accomplishes adding another wrinkle to Van Dams doubt about being able to beat Cena, being unable to finish him with his own finishing move. Much like the DQ in the opening match, I didn't really want to see Vince & Lashley (and Shane) show up … but it's a necessary evil. Still, it's hard to doubt the impact they had on the match; busting RVD open and putting Cena through a table. A great comeback though for Van Dam, fighting off Lashley and the McMahons, even busting out the Van Daminator. Still, it would've been funny for Shane to hit Van Dam with his Coast to Coast rip off of the Van Terminator. While I didn't believe Cena could win this - I'll admit, you had me for a second when he caught RVD with the FU. As false finishes go, that was a pretty damn good one. BOO-YAY is a must for Cena matches, so couldn't blame you for including that, especially when it's against another popular face - it just fits better in that environment. You put together a great finishing sequence from here, bringing the match home to cap off a superb main event, even if the outcome was to be expected, which in the end wasn't ruined by the run ins. Great job, and a nice touch with Cena 'putting over' RVD with a salute.
Overall, you've hit another home run with this PPV, solid matches from top to bottom - including two incredible main event matches. Clearly the two main matches dominated, and while Raw has really just been moving along, I fully expect the show to kick on now that WrestleMania - and it's hangover period - is done and dusted. I envisage RVD & Cena forging together in the run up to 'War Games' to take on the McMahons faction, which may end up including Michaels for that event, as he'll need to be involved with the two top faces coming out of this PPV - no one else would suffice at this point if Trips is to be on the shelf for the foreseeable future.

Boxing Result
Kaddour, Sheika, Cauthen win
By Rick Scharmberg at ringside
Ahmed "Baby Face" Kaddour, Omar Sheika, and Terrance "The Heat" Cauthen all registered victories last night at the sold-out Hamilton Manor in Hamilton, NJ. Kaddour (22-2-1, 9 KOs) dominated Jerome Ellis (12-11-2, 10 KOs) over eight rounds in the junior middleweight main event. In twin co-features, Omar Sheika (29-9, 20 KOs) overcame a very slow start to batter game Garrett Wilson (7-4, 2 KOs) and stop him in the fourth round of a scheduled eight round cruiserweight bout, and Terrance Cauthen (34-6, 9 KOs) rode his right hook to an eight round unanimous decision over power hitter Isam Khalil (15-2-2, 9 KOs) in a welterweight bout. The eight-bout card was promoted by Nedal's Promotions. (More to come)

Justin Bartha and his Bride Expecting First Child
It has been an exciting New Year for Justin Bartha already, and now the actor and his wife have more good news to celebrate- they are reportedly expecting their first child.
The couple got married on January 4 in Lia Smith's native Hawaii with celebs such as Reese Witherspoon in attendance.
An attendee told reporters, "Lia wore a white dress with thin spaghetti straps and jeweled sandals. Justin wore a dark-colored suit and burgundy socks. They were sweet together and looked very in love. He was holding her bouquet for her and walked with his arm around her after the vows. She had a big smile on her face and nuzzled her face up to his neck. Their family and friends seemed so happy for them and had an incredible time hanging out in Hawaii leading up to the wedding. It was a destination wedding for all."
This is the first child for both the "Hangover" star and his new bride.

Survey & Construction Newsletter, Late September 2008
ION GNSS Conference – Not This Year
Well, it wasn't meant to be. Hurricane Ike made sure of that.
I travel quite a bit and I never fly Continental Airlines, but there aren't a lot of choices when flying to Savannah, Georgia from Portland, Oregon. So a couple of months ago, I booked my flight to Savannah on Continental with a connection in Houston, Texas.
Hurricanes and Houston don't mix well this time of year. Anyway, Hurricane Ike wreaked havoc on southeast Texas. Houston's airports were closed for the weekend (my flight was supposed to depart last Sunday). Continental, being a small airline with limited routes, couldn't get me to Savannah until Wednesday night at the earliest. Other airlines were jammed up trying to reroute people around the Hurricane-affected airports.
So be it … no ION conference for me this year. Too bad, it's my favorite conference of the year because I get to see where companies and organizations are putting their research effort which, in turn, gives me a good idea where GNSS technology for surveying/construction is heading.
At ION, one of the things I was scheduled to do was give a presentation at the Civil GPS Service Interface Committee (CGSIC) meeting on Monday. This year is the first time the CGSIC is allocating GPS World a slot on the agenda. The topic of my presentation was entitled "WAAS for Mapping: It Works Where You Work." So, instead of presenting it at ION this year, here you go.
First of all, let me tell you that even though the applications featured are focused on WAAS, this is really about SBAS (satellite-based augmentation systems) in general. That includes MSAS (Japan), EGNOS (Europe) and soon, GAGAN (India).
Trends in GPS mapping
The user community expects GNSS technology products to become smaller, cheaper, simpler, and higher performance.
For the most part, we have seen that trend develop in the past decade. GPS mapping products have migrated from heavy, backpack-based systems with a medium-sized dome antenna, DOS-based data collector, VHS recorder batteries, antenna cable, data collector cable, and power cable to the small handheld devices and small receiver boxes of today. Likewise, prices have fallen considerably. The market prices for a sub-meter mapping system are 50 percent to 60 percent 60 less than a decade ago.
The GPS mapping user community is moving away from post-process differential correction and towards real-time correction.
The reason is quite simple: simplicity and cost. Post-processing is a pain and it's expensive. It's not just the cost of the software and software maintenance contracts, it's the personnel training to stay current on the software, it's the cost of time to post-process and it's the cost of not having real-time data in the field. Yes, there is a cost of not having timely data.
One of the arguments for post-processing is that it's more accurate. From a pure scientific standpoint, that's a correct statement, but it's crazy to make that sort of general statement. I could show you data that shows that statement is correct and also incorrect. Like most answers to GPS accuracy questions, the answer is, it depends: it depends on the receiver, it depends on the application, it depends on your personnel qualifications, etc.
SBAS makes real-time GPS correction simple and cheap, as in free. WAAS has matured over the last five years since it was declared operational from providing 1 meter to 3 meter accuracy to where it is today, providing accuracies of well under a meter in the continental United States, Alaska, Mexico, and most parts of Canada. The simplicity and low-cost of SBAS makes sub-meter mapping attainable by a larger percentage of the user community.
All WAAS (SBAS)-Enabled Receivers Aren't Created Equal
One of the common experiences with WAAS (SBAS) in mapping applications is that the user will attempt to use a consumer-grade GPS unit (eg. Garmin) and, predictably, the performance will be poor. Consumer-grade GPS units aren't designed for accuracy. They are designed for fast satellite acquisition, low-power consumption, low-cost, and easy user interface.
I don't know if you've been paying attention, but the newer consumer-grade GPS units don't mention SBAS like they used to. It's because the difference between autonomous positioning and WAAS-corrected positioning isn't a significant issue with respect to the average GPS consumer who is navigating from point A to point B. Go look at the mapping Handhelds section on the Garmin website. There is no mention of WAAS in the specs. The reason? Garmin doesn't care about WAAS for the ground user.
If the GPS manufacturer does care about WAAS for ground users, there is a lot they can do to optimize the use of WAAS (SBAS) so it can perform in environments where a standard WAAS-enabled receiver couldn't dream of working. One technical paper on this subject was published by Stanford University and presented at the ION conference in 2006. Euiho Kim, Todd Walter, and David Powell from Stanford presented a paper entitled Optimizing WAAS Accuracy/Stability for a Single Frequency Receiver.
Some manufacturers have done this and more to exploit WAAS so it can be used in environments where a receiver implementing the traditional use of WAAS couldn't. I can write about this until I'm blue in the face, but the proof is how the user community is using WAAS with high-performance receivers in applications where many people say WAAS can't be used. I know of a few of them around North America and have provided a short synopsis of each to give you an idea.
Applications of WAAS in North America
Company: J.D. Irving Ltd.
Employees: 15,000
Industry: Forest products
Location: Eastern Canada
Application: harvesting timber
User Statement: "The general misconception is that WAAS doesn't work under forest canopy. (For us) It's proven to be a false assumption if the right receiver is used."
Company: American Forest Management, Inc.
Employees: 250
Industry: Forest management
Location: Virginia to Texas, Maine to Michigan
Application: Area calculations, forest road work, land owner mapping
User Statement: "Our field efficiency has drastically increased due to reliable reception and ease of use … office productivity also increased because of real-time correction."
Company: Portland General Electric
Employees: 2,600
Industry: utility
Location: Oregon
Application: utility pole mapping
User Statement: "Four years ago, we started out using low-end WAAS receivers, but switched to mapping-grade WAAS receivers after 60 days due to accuracy problems. 225,000 poles and four years later, we are still using the same WAAS receivers."
Company: State of Minnesota
Employees: a bunch
Industry: state government
Location: Minnesota
Application: mapping abandoned chemical facilities
User Statement: "Approximately 500 facilities were mapped using a Bluetooth, sub-meter WAAS GPS and a Windows Mobile data collector. Wireless technology eliminated connectivity problems and the receivers had COAST technology, consistently giving us submeter, real-time results, even in areas that had poor visibility."
Company: U.S. National Park Service
Industry: federal government
Location: sub-arctic Alaska
Application: map archaeological sites
User statement: "Many mapping grade GPS users still do not feel good about relying on WAAS. You can always post-process, but after reading these numbers, some may ask why bother?"
Other Related Trends in Real-Time GPS Mapping
Not only is WAAS (SBAS) being exploited by some manufacturers of sub-meter GPS mapping equipment, some manufacturers have introduced survey receivers that also exploit WAAS, but use another satellite observable for centimeter-level positioning rather than using the WAAS correction itself.
In optimal scenarios, this potentially adds another two observables when resolving ambiguities for RTK positioning.When manufacturers start designing products around a technology, it speaks highly of the future of that technology.
RTK networks (RTN) are experiencing explosive growth around the world.
It's a relatively new technology that will add to the proliferation of real-time users for both RTK and sub-meter mapping systems. RTN's primarily cover metro areas at this time, but some countries have recently announced the implementation of country-wide RTNs. Look for more editorial coverage on this in the future.
Commercial DGPS services have shifted from offering L1 sub-meter DGPS products to decimeter L1/L2 products in certain regions in the world.
DGPS signal providers have recognized that WAAS/SBAS fills the requirement for sub-meter corrections where it's available. They haven't stopped offering L1 sub-meter DGPS corrections, but certainly have shifted their focus to the GPS L1/L2 market.
On The Not-So-Positive Side of Things
We've enjoyed many years of relatively quiet ionospheric activity. In a sense, we've taken for granted the awesome increase of GPS accuracy (both autonomous and DGPS). This is going to change as the next solar cycle cranks up. It's an 11 year cycle that began early this year and will reach its high point in 2011 or 2012.
What's so bad about solar activity?
For GPS users, errors induced by significant ionospheric activity can be measured in meters or even tens of meters even if you are using a DGPS correction source such as WAAS, beacon or RTN. Some experts say the next solar cycle will be worse than average. Some say not. All of them say "we won't know until it's here."
Read more about Solar Cycle 24 here. The subject is worthy of an entire article; which I will write in the coming months.
Be sure to watch the live coverage that my fellow editors will be providing from the ION GNSS conference in Savannah this week.

General Petraeus has assured the American Congress and people the situation in Iraq is improving and there is an excellent chance troops dispatched for the surge would be able to return home. However, there is growing uncertainty how the current fighting in Basra will impact plans for reducing the size of the American armed force. During the 2004 election, President Bush emphasized the Iraq army had a well trained fighting force of over 140,000, but, of course, we know that was campaign rhetoric. The latest fantasy about the Iraq army has been replaced by the stark reality it is far from an effective fighting force and it is unable to dislodge Mahdi forces from Basra. Muqtada al-Sadr has ordered his troops to halt fighting provided the Iraq government stands down from its latest offense.
A constant ccomplaint by critics of Bush policies is failure to confront the entire range of military needs of Iraq. Retired General Bary McCaffrey notes: "Even now there is no Iraq air force, there's no national military medical system, there's no maintenance system." During recent fighting in Basra the Iraq government had to call for assistance from British and American artillery since it lacks its own artillery force. Last November the GAO questioned Pentagon claims on the number of Iraq battalions able to operate "independently" since such units usually depend on U.S. fuel, ammunition, and other supples.
Eventually, there will be a lull in Basra fighting and al-Sadr will continue to exert his power. As always, Bush fails to grasp the political necessity in Iraq.

Wenger on...the game
"We played against our nerves a bit as well today because you could see that when we could not take our chances early on it became a bit edgy, but we kept going and finally got the goal which gives us three big points against a team which fought very hard and made it difficult for us in the air. When I saw [Shaun] Bartlett in their side I knew what to expect but we were dominant at the back and didn't panic. The team was a bit nervy because we have lost a few games recently. When we scored it was a relief and we are not used to this but this victory can give us a new start. Overall I feel we deserved the victory."
Wenger on...Reyes winner
"I feel he needed a goal because he didn't score for a long time. I feel he will be a tremendous player but you know when you have a player who you buy at 20 and he goes to a foreign country and he takes some time. I am confident he will be an immense player. He is a player who plays a lot on creative instinct and that can only be expressed with a lot of confidence. Starting left and drifting in is more comfortable for him. He likes freedom. I wanted to show him we have confidence in him and we believe in his quality. He matures quite quickly now. When you are 21 in a foreign country there is a big pressure on you, you haven't scored for a while and it plays on your mind."
Wenger on...opting for a 4-5-1 formation
"We didn't give many chances away, I feel we gave better balls in the final third. I like 4-4-2 but we have played some physical games away from home and we needed to strengthen in the middle of the park. The support has to come from Reyes who we leave a little bit free. We tuck one midfielder in to help out defensively but Reyes is quite free. It is like 4-4-2 but a bit stricter with player a little bit tucked in."
Wenger on...Freddie's missed chance
"You saw that we wanted so much to win the game that he lacked a little bit of spontaneous attitude. Once you take your time the keeper gets an advantage. Last year and every year Freddie scored double figures but at the moment he has not scored and you can see that in the way he takes his chances. It is in his mind."
Wenger on...recent form
"We felt we were a little unlucky at Newcastle where we created the early chances. Against Chelsea we created the early chances and hit the post and scored the goal, so that is a little bit in your mind."
Wenger on...Danny Murphy's red card
"I have huge sympathy for Charlton. But I must say Robin van Persie got exactly the same yellow card. It is the rules and the referee can only apply the rules."

Italy's prison panettone offers sweet way to cut crime
By Isla Binnie
PADUA, Italy (Reuters) - White-coated bakers are chopping nuts, dipping pastry into liquid chocolate and hanging freshly baked panettone Christmas cake upside down to preserve its domed shape.
But when one of the all-male team steps outside to smoke, he is in a barred enclosure attached to Padua prison.
Sweet smells have wafted through this building since 2005, when the local Giotto cooperative opened the 'Pasticceria Giotto', which they say is Italy's only bakery inside a jail.
The cooperative says the re-offending rate among prisoners who work on their projects in Padua drops to 1-2 percent from a national average they put at over 70 percent.
The prisoners, serving sentences for crimes including murder, are keen to extol the psychological benefits.
"This work makes a person feel they have value, you get satisfaction from it. You develop creativity," said Davor, 49. "When you come in here you don't feel like you're in prison."
Of the roughly 800 detainees in Padua's Due Palazzi prison, 150 are paid to work on such projects, which also include a call center and workshops making suitcases and bicycles.
The bakery's signature delicacy is panettone, baked to a traditional recipe that takes 72 hours to make from a precise mixture of flour, butter, eggs and sugar that is enshrined in Italian law. Continued...

So, this'll be a very lo-cost car as a daily driver.
Original old style with brown(!!) interior
But still, loving the mk2s, had to have one again. And for 330USD
a 94500km, 1.6 75hp with defect carburator, steering-aid , tectyl
treatment, a bit of clearcoat missing...this will be the perfect student
starting point for making some insurance bonus (finally...) and fettling
with VAG again... Delivering stock Octavias isn't cutting the mustard in the long run.
Some plans are made long since. But I don't bother bragging about
that, since I have no idea on my student economy for the summer, or
what it'll end up as [IMG]http://**********************/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]
So, what do you 'vortex-heads think?
Probably not too known to you fellas in the US, this is the tiny
1.6 EZ carburettor 75hp (wow!) trackday killer...
A bit cleaning up to do when I've gotten summer hollidays.
And yeeees.. The proper old-style BROWN interior featuring the 4 speed
(sadly not a dogshift) 'box. But actually, it's kinda cool in it's own way.
Seats had covers since new.

The British Council and Msheireb Properties have together organised an 'Arts Management workshop: 'Marketing and Audience Development', at the company's Msheireb Enrichment Centre on 18th & 19th Jan 2012. This will be the second workshop organised at the Msheireb Enrichment Centre, the first one 'Strategic Management, Planning and Evaluation' was held in December. The two workshops come in the series of cultural management workshops which The British Council will be offering this year as a part of their Cultural Leadership International (CLI) Initiative.
The approach of the workshop is participatory and experiential; it encourages participants to apply the principles they are learning to their own organisations and projects and draw on their experience of implementing projects in Qatar. It equips participants with the skills needed to tackle arts marketing successfully by examining the five key areas: Marketing and Publicity, Media and Public Relations, Research and Data, Planning, and Audience Development.
Khalifa Al Obaidly Assistant Manager - Cultural Affairs of Msheireb Properties, said: "We are delighted to partner with the British Council for these training sessions. Msheireb Properties is committed to the principle of knowledge sharing, and collaborations with international experts and the British Council will serve to further the development of arts and culture initiatives in Qatar."
Msheireb Properties also presented for the first time its 'Found Objects' project started at their signature project site, Msheireb Downtown Doha. The project, 'Sadaa Al Thikrayat', which roughly translates into 'the echo memory project', is an artist-led initiative to record and collect a wide range of artefacts, stories and memories from Msheireb, Qatar's earliest suburb, dating from 1951, as the area undergoes extensive regeneration as part of the Msheireb Downtown Doha development.
Khalifa Al Obaidly added, "This artist-led Arts Project sets out, at its heart, to foster and develop dialogue between the diverse communities of Doha. It suggests that by using the potency and inspiration of the 'found objects' as a rich resource, the project will support and create both a new 'architecture', metaphorically and physically, and art works that are poetic, contemporary and questioning – where the porosity of territory, time, memory and identity are explored through artistic creating and participation by the whole Doha community."
Items were collected from the Msheireb Downtown construction site by local and visiting artists, students, employees of Msheireb Properties and Time Qatar and site labourers over a three-year period. The unearthed items include personal possessions such as shoes, clothing, books, photographs, letters, toys and documents; kitchenware; furniture; architectural items such as light switches, window frames and spiral staircases as well as street signs and post boxes.
Lana Kayed, British Council Qatar Projects Manager, said, "CLI is a programme developed by the British Council which supports the emergence, and hones the skills and talents, of a diverse and strategic group of future cultural leaders in Europe, North America, North Africa and the Middle East. The project will enhance intercultural understanding, and support economic growth, cultural development and social change. We are very happy to be launching the project in partnership with Msheireb Properties and hope that the collaboration goes forward to future workshops."
One planned by-product of the workshops was the creation of a network of Arts Managers who will continue to work together to raise the quality of the projects and programmes implemented in this flourishing sector in Qatar.
The first workshop was attended by managers representing key players from the arts and culture sector such as Qatar Museum Authority and Qatar Foundation. It also included some successful artists and practitioners. This mix of experienced and skilled individuals from such a wide cross section of organisations was identified by participants as one of the key strengths of the event, as it enabled high quality peer group critiques and support.

Many of you already know Marc Brown's lovely 8-year-old aardvark, Arthur, the star of his own PBS series. To know him is to love him. This sweet and generous little guy is secure enough in the success of his own show that he is helping his best buddy launch his own spinoff.
"Postcards from Buster" premieres at 4 p.m. Oct. 11 on WTTW-Channel 11. And it's a great departure from the animated "Arthur" since it's a mix of live-action footage and animation.
Buster has left his friends to travel with his father, the airline pilot, as he ferries a Latin rock group, Los Viajeros, around the country. But Buster isn't forsaking his friends-in fact, the show is his live-action video postcard to his friends and Mr. Ratburn, the teacher who oversees some of Buster's homeschooling while he is on the road.
We still get a taste of Arthur and the crew in Elwood City since Buster calls his best friend. But mostly, we are privy to Buster's creative filmmaking process.
The promotional material explains that Buster's "footage is woven seamlessly into each animated story."
But that's not quite the case. It takes a bit of adjusting when Buster, sitting in the animated car with his cartoon dad, looks through the camera lense and all of a sudden we see the real rolling hills of Indiana farmland.
What makes the transition work is Buster's great narrative and questions.
Buster, like any kid traveling, meets other kids who show him their world. He greets his new friends from behind the lense of his camera. So there is never a combination of real people reacting to animated characters a la the movie, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."
Instead, people talk to the camera and we hear Buster's voice and running commentary. This bunny-boy is a great interviewer. He asks the direct, tough questions that children do, such as: "If Chicago's in Illinois, why is it Lake Michigan?" or, to the young girl who is Buster's new Muslim friend in her hajib, "Why do you wear that on your head?"
The show is geared to children ages 4 to 8-with a special emphasis on the 6-to-8 set. And it presents kids with not just a lovely travelog about the country but good information about different ways of life.
Also, the music is wonderful. Los Viajeros performs the original songs that correspond to each of locations. (The theme song is performed by Wyclef Jean, formerly of The Fugees.)
The show airs at 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and repeats on 10:30 a.m. on Sundays. For a special treat, catch Buster's trip to Chicago which airs at 4 p.m. Oct. 12.

Google was recently caught bypassing user privacy settings on Apple's browser, Safari, and also on Microsoft's Internet Explorer. But Google claims that it was just trying to get its +1 buttons to work on Safari, and that Internet Explorer's cookie policy was "widely non-operational."
The Wall Street Journal
outed Google for finding a way to bypass default privacy settings
and place ad-tracking cookies on Safari users. These third-party cookies are used to track what users are doing on the Internet, which in turn helps Web giants like Google target users with suitable advertisements.
Google was able to successfully get past Safari's browser settings for privacy, which attempts to block certain types of cookies. Safari accepts first-party cookies (the Web site the user is on) or second-party cookies (the user's browser), but blocks third-party cookies, which links the browser to an entirely different Web site. The mobile version of Safari, which can be found on iOS devices, has the ability to block all cookies or none at all.
Despite a user's privacy settings, Google and ad networks from Vibrant Media, PointRoll and Media Innovation Group were able to bypass this. They did so by making it look like the user visiting a Web site filled out a form of some sort (even if no form was presented to the user) and the companies would then get their cookies accepted. Google was also tracking user activity on the mobile version of Safari, meaning that
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users
were being watched as well.
The Wall Street Journal
broke the story, Microsoft's Windows Internet Explorer Engineering Team wondered if Google was doing the same thing to Internet Explorer's users. As it turns out, it was.
"We've found that Google bypasses the P3P Privacy Protection feature in IE," said the
Windows Internet Explorer Engineering Team Blog
. "The result is similar to the recent reports of Google's circumvention of privacy protections in Apple's Safari Web browser, even though the actual bypass mechanism Google uses is different.
"By default, IE blocks third-party cookies unless the site presents a P3P Compact Policy Statement indicating how the site will use the cookie and that the site's use does not include tracking the user. Google's P3P policy causes Internet Explorer to accept Google's cookies even though the policy does not state Google's intent."
suggested that users utilize the Tracking Protection feature in
Internet Explorer 9
, which doesn't allow Google to bypass security settings.
Google defended itself against the claims, saying that it never intended to track users on Safari or Internet Explorer. As far as Safari goes, it was just trying to get its +1 buttons to work. Browsers like FireFox, Chrome and Internet Explorer don't block third-party cookies by default, but Safari does. Therefore, Google bypassed the privacy settings to allow its +1 buttons on advertisements to be distributed through the AdSense network to other sites. Google also said it wasn't tracking iPhones, just what some people are doing in the Safari browser.
On the Internet Explorer side of things, Google argued that Internet Explorer's P3P cookie technology is "widely non-operational." Google also mentioned Facebook and Amazon's use of P3P bypass, and that P3P doesn't support Google's modern Web services. The P3P standard is now out of date, said Google.
"Microsoft omitted important information from its blog post today," said Google. "Microsoft uses a 'self-declaration' protocol (known as P3P) dating from 2002 under which Microsoft asks websites to represent their privacy practices in machine-readable form. It is well known -- including by Microsoft -- that it is impractical to comply with Microsoft's request while providing modern web functionality. We have been open about our approach, as have many other websites."

Dee Wright sighed as he finished tidying the desk. Hed finished with dusting, mopping, organizing, and not a single customer had come in for some time. He cracked his neck gently and settled into his chair. The industrial fan in the corner oscillated a few times. He rapped his fingers on the wood of the table. Just three hours left in his shift.
Despite the occasional boredom, he enjoyed working in the back. It was like his own little world. It was much better than being out there somewhere in the rest of store. He liked the owner but he knew she definitely had some quirks. Like the fact she opened a store which sold gender-bending products.
It was a dangerous place if one wished to remain the same gender. Despite those pitfalls, Dee had managed, in sixteen months, never to be affected by a single one of the store products. A record he held alone among the staff. Most employees were turned within a month at most.
The air from the fan brushed at his cap with the store logo. He scratched at his uniform of khaki and blue. It was a little less than three hours. He plopped his head down but kept his eyes open. He blinked a few times. From down the hall, he could hear the even sound of heels on tile. He gave a quick glance.
Out strutted a tall, blond woman. Her hair fell past her shoulders and ended in tight curls. She was wedged into form-fitting leather pants. Her top was soft lycra. She turned as she walked, swiveling her tiny waist. She tossed her head back. Her eyes were bright blue and her vast cleavage showed. She leaned against the table as he leaned back. She made sure he had a good view of her.
She moistened her lips and folded her arms. With a faint smile, she said breathlessly, Hello, stud. She kept her eyes on him.
He hid a smirk behind his hand, cleared his throat, and responded, Good afternoon, maam. What can I help you with?
She made a pleased little sound, pushed up her cleavage a little further and giggled, Oh theres so much you can help me with
She pouted a little and added, I have some great
big problems that only a strong man like you can help.
He snorted and couldnt hide his amusement anymore. He shook his head and said, Hi, Jeff.
The woman blanched for a second, but steadied herself. Whatever do you mean? My name is Cindi.
He kept his smile. Last name?"
He could tell her eyes were searching. She blurted out, stammering, C-c-craw
Crawfeld. Cindi Craw
Cindi Crooper! She flashed a small look of satisfaction.
Dee responded, So, what are you returning?
She seemed to relax. Nothing really
Im just here to see you.
Dee rubbed his chin. He wasnt sure what Jeff was up to. Blackmail seemed out of the question. Maybe he was just bored. Dee opted to play along for a moment.
Cindi leaned and smiled as she said, I like what I see and Id like to see more.
With a smirk, Dee took his hat off. She gave a pout and said, Aww
dont you like me?
He gave her another glance. Id say you like you, Jeff. But theres one thing you may not like
He held up a slip of paper.
Cindi swallowed a quick question and said a saucy-toned, Whatever do you mean?
Dee set the paper on the counter. If the owner found out about your illusion appliance use
especially considering how much it costs to rent them. He gestured with his finger to the red line on the paper.
Cindi grit her teeth and grumbled.
How the heck did you know?!
Dee savored the displeasure she showered on him. Its pretty simple. The moment you stepped out, you were like a lampoon of a girl. I mean, come on, youve been a girl several times already.
Cindi leaned forward, folded her hands, and set her nose on the counter. Ten times. And you
Dee shook his head. So thats what this is about
come on. Show it to me.
With a contorting, sour expression, Cindi fished an illusion appliance out from deep in her bust. Dee raised an eyebrow. Where were you actually keeping it?
Cindi held the appliance, which looked like a flat, soft pop-cap, out and it shimmered and grew a bit of double-sided sticky tape. She set it down and Dee picked it up with a pair of plastic tongs. He dropped it into a drawer marked to restock.
Cindi flattened her face, along with her bust, against the counter. She expelled a wordless sound of disgust and said, I so wouldve had you. Its not fair you still havent been gotten after all this time. Im surprised the owner hasnt done something. Stinks
Dee folded his hands. And you smell nice
Cindi gave as gruff a little growl as she could manage with her voice. She pulled back from table quickly and gave her chest a little quake. She folded her arms over her front and sighed, At least I have sensory feedback turned off.
She fished a little car-alarm-sized remote out of a back pocket on her leather pants and clicked a button. Then she mashed the side of her hip with her thumb. She frowned. Come on
She pressed her thumb into her side over and over, tracing a little circle on her side. She said softly, No no nonono
Dee leaned over the counter. Something wrong
Cindi kept pressing her hip until it hurt. Finally, she asked, Could you help?
Dee took the remote from her and looked it over. He aimed it at her and pressed the same button. Nothing. Cindi turned in place and offered, Maybe you have to aim at it?
Dee pointed at her hip but also asked, Are you sure it was on your hip?
Cindi nodded vigorously. He clicked the button again. Nothing. He checked the tiny text on the remote. He was clicking the activate/deactivate illusion button. There other two, smaller buttons; a red engage/disengage/set sensory feedback one and a green Select/Modify Illusion button.
On the whole, Dee found it to be a poorly-designed interface. But he had a thought. Are you sure this is the one you used?
Cindi frowned. Yeah
why? Does it matter? Dee leaned to his right. He clicked the button again. He heard the fainted beep. Using his tongs, he picked up the other illusion appliance from the restock slot. He showed it to Cindi. The middle was glowing bright purple.
Cindi still appeared confused. Dee explained, You do recall these are keyed into a particular device each, right? Just like how your car alarm remote only affects your own car.
She blanched again. Oh
crap. Cindi felt around everywhere on her. She slumped. I mustve lost it somewhere
She touched her hip and gasped. What if someone picked it up? She stepped towards the door and bit her lip. Uh
be right back.
Dee smiled and waved. Have fun, cutie.
He set the remote in the slot and leaned back in his chair. The return of silence was greatly satisfying.
The calm wouldnt last long. Mere moments after Cindi departed, the doors swung open again. A woman with short, red hair which clung to the sides of her cheeks approached. She was dressed in a pleasant, white swimsuit with an opening near her stomach. She had on lacy-pink little sandals. None of this compared to the sight of a flat-rimmed plunger stuck to her right breast.
She gripped the stick end and shuffled her way to the counter. With a soft, nervous voice, she said, I seem to be having a problem

And after reading the Abby stories I decided that I want to find out about the original Korri. You'd think the employees would know not to play with the merchandise by now. And not for the tg reason.
First time I read this, Jeff/'Cindi' and his/her antics were largely forgotten in my mind. Even though s/he was the bulk of this chapter, s/he didn't stand out to me. Which made all the later references to Korri trying to trick Dee make me think "what, did this happen the day before or something?". Only on the first reread of this story (this would be the second reread) did I catch that Jeff and Korri were the same and did this whole deal become significant. It also reminded me of what Korri's male name was, since s/he is more memorable as named Korri than as named Jeff (despite Jeff=Korri being named later) due to spending the bulk of the story as Korri. I don't know why the name didn't stay in my mind; it's my name too, plus as a main character this use of 'Jeff' is more memorable than the ever-so-common joke character use of 'Jeff' (like Jeffrey Jellyfish from Spongebob).
I can get a feel for Dee's character. I too enjoy quiet and isolation. It's a character flaw of mine. And when I worked in retail briefly, my job was stocking the shelves, and I said during the interview that I wouldn't be good with the whole 'talking to customers' dealie. But in practice, I was better with talking to customers and helping them find what they needed than actually doing my job. Maybe working in the Returns department would be good. And too bad for Jeff/'Cindi'. S/he went so far trying to turn Dee into a girl, only to end up stuck him/herself. That's why you never...NEVER...lose the remote. Unless it's the TV remote, 'cause you can buy new universal remotes and key them to the TV, or *le GASP!* get up and push the button. Too many remotes.

Oops...guess he should have kept better track of his things...
^_^ Hehe. Ooo...is this your first time reading this one?
how have i not read[sorry if i spelled this wrong brain is on the fritz] these before ^^
^_^ Hope you enjoy the rest.
I'm wondering why on earth I didn't see this story earlier. So much for thinking I was well read in the TG world. You have such a wonderful beginning here. I was worried at first that it would smack of Bill Hart's Spells R Us shop, but you have something completely different going on here.
I can't wait to read the next one. In fact, I better get on that.
I can't wait to read the next one. In fact, I better get on that.
^_^ Thanks for the comment!
I finally get to read these and boy was this worth it. So fun. If only there were more...wait a minute, whats this? Part two? Mwua HA HA HA HAAA!
^_^ And four more after that. Hehe. Hope you like them all. I've been trying to improve on it with each one posted ^^.
I'm anxious to catch up so when you post journals on your progress I can actually Pipe Up and say something.
I'd be all like, "Yo, Kerina, if you walk backwards you can see where you're coming from." Or "Kerina, did you know that you have a piece of lettuce stuck in your teeth?"
....which basically means I'm not sure if I'd have something to say about the story, but I would at least be able to say something.

You're very much welcome to respond no matter what you have to offer, no matter how silly or non-sequitor ^^V.
I can emphasize with Dee, the store clerk. Some people are just a little TOO loose with their actions.
Then again, everything in moderation.
Then again, everything in moderation.
LOL Boy, that has to suck!
A good funny, I like!
A good funny, I like!
^_^ Glad you like. Sadly there's just one more part ;_;. I need to finish more of these things...
Sigh...left hanging again...! LOL Just teasing, I know how the creative flow goes too. You ride the rush and then the wave is over and you get left standing on the beach looking around for the next one...and sometimes the next great one takes awhile to arrive.

Case Conclusion Date: 01.01.2010
Practice Area: Child custody
Outcome: Mom and daughter are now living happily outside Colorado.
Description: When parents divorce and children are involved, there are times when one parent wants to leave the State for good reasons. In a case from Douglas County, Colorado, I represented a mother who had spent her entire life taking care of the parties' minor daughter. When mom wanted to move, the father said "no." A report was generated and sent to the court recommending that the child stay in Colorado with dad if mom were to move out of state. We thought the report was weak and reached the wrong conclusions. We helped mom overcome those recommendations and convinced a judge that mom ought to be able to move with the child.

What is gay bukkake?
GAY BUKKAKE Also known as "Male Bukkake" "Gay Bukkake" is a term used to desribe an all male bukkake, meaning the bukkake recipient is also male. The term "bukkake" is a… type of porn made famous in Japan in which a female would be surrounded by many males ejaculating on her, usually in her mouth or on her face. Bukkake sessions often followed a "gangbang", an act in which all of the males engage in unprotected sexual intercourse with the one female. This type of porn has caught on like wild fire in USA porn with hundreds of porn sites and DVDs catering to bukkake. So a "gay bukkake" would describe a session in which several men ejaculate on one male, often called the bukkake "centerpiece". Gay bukkake sessions also often follow a "gangbang" scene and serve as the grand finale. Gay bukkake was slow to catch on but has since taken on a new life of its own among the gay porn community. Fans of gay porn, often those with a cum fetish, have embraced this new genre with open arms. Some of the most popular male bukkake porn stars are Blake Andrews (Sebastian's Studios), Robert Black (Falcon Studios), Cameron Cruise (Falcon Studios), Corey Moore (iFriends), Matt Sizemore (Blue Movies), Jeff Stryker (Vivid Entertainment), and Tiger Tyson (Pitbull Productions). Banned in some countries and US states, bukkake borders the fine line of obscenity because of its grotesque amount of semen and profound degrading of an individual. A growing favorite for lovers of extreme porn, "gay bukkake" is definitely not for the squeamish!
The question and answer are locked and cannot be edited.
What is a bukkake party?
A bukkake "party" is a gathering in which a person is repeatedly ejaculated upon by multiple men. The victim can be male or female, but is generally female. The practice appea…rs to have come from Japanese porn flicks and made inroads in America by shock jock Howard Stern who used the word repeatedly in his show. Also the legal system has recently ruled that this practice is obscenity, not porn. There is evidence that the practice denotes fetishism. It is not a normal sex act.
What does thesexual term bukkake mean?
The sexual term for bukakke is when a group of men masturbate and ejaculate over the face or body of a female or male.
What is bukkake bandit?
A bukkake bandit is a mysterious uninvtied guest to your bukkake that suddenly appears to do their business and just as quickly disappears

How do you pronounce bukkake?
Is bukkake illegal?
It depends where. In Japan you must get a bukkake license before participating in one.
Do females like bukkake?
Some do but probably most don't, in part because most women do not care for group sex where they are the only woman present.
The question and answer are locked and cannot be edited.
What is 'bukkake'?
Bukkake quite literally means "to splash" or "splash on" in Japanese, and it has no sexual connotation. However, it has been given connotation through slang. The sexual sl…ang term 'bukkake' is a term used for several men ejaculating on a woman at the same time.
How do you give a bukkake to a girl?
Get approximately 20 of your friends that you're comfortable being naked around, and one female. Have her take turns giving oral sex or handjobs to the fellows around her, and… once each of you is ready to ejaculate, do so on her face.
What is Chinese bukkake?
An eggroll filled with fermented cabage and yougurt

Top-seeded UK Hoops Prepares for SEC Tournament
Feb. 26, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After winning the Southeastern Conference regular season championship with a school-record 13 league wins, the Kentucky women's basketball team earned the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the SEC Tournament. The Wildcats are preparing to square off against the winner of Florida (No. 8 seed) and Auburn (No. 9 seed) in the quarterfinals on Friday, March 2 at 1 p.m. EST at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. The game will be carried live on FSN and the UK IMG Sports Network (radio) with Neil Price.
Florida (18-11, 8-8 SEC) earned the eighth seed in the SEC standings after falling to Tennessee on Sunday, 75-59. Auburn, which defeated Ole Miss, 46-43, is the ninth seed after finishing 13-16 overall record, 5-11 in the SEC.
During the regular season, UK defeated both of its possible opponents. The Wildcats handed the Gators two losses, winning in Gainesville 59-56 on Jan. 1 and in Lexington on Jan. 22 57-52. UK also defeated Auburn in Auburn, Ala., on Jan. 26, 66-48.
The Wildcats, who were picked to finish second in the SEC standings by the league coaches and media, have had another remarkable season under the direction of head coach Matthew Mitchell. He has led the Cats to their third straight 20-win season with a 24-5 overall record, including a 13-3 mark in SEC play. The 13 league wins were a school record for SEC wins in a season and UK's regular season championship is its first in 30 years.
Leading the way for the Wildcats is junior All-America and SEC Player of the Year candidate A'dia Mathies (Louisville, Ky.). Mathies leads the team in almost every statistical category, including scoring (15.3), steals (2.7), 3-point field goals made (44) and 3-point field goal percentage (.370). SEC Freshman of the Year contender Bria Goss (Indianapolis) follows in the scoring column with 11.6 points per game. She has scored in double digits in six of the last eight games. Sophomore forward and All-SEC candidate Samarie Walker (West Carrollton, Ohio) is the team's leading rebounder with 6.5 rebounds per game.
UK is 24-32 all-time in the SEC Tournament and holds a 9-12 mark in quarterfinal games. The Cats have earned a first-round bye in five of the last seven tournaments, including three in a row. UK has advanced to the SEC Tournament finals the past two seasons.
Additional information on the tournament, including game times and online ticket links, can be found at www.SECDigitalNetwork.com.

Generators for use during Home Dialysis
I'm new to the forum so please excuse this question if it has been previously discused. I would like to hear recommendations about generators for use by patients. My main concern is if it is necessary to purchase a generator that does not interrupt the machine during an outage. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
