Limbaugh complained Democrats are not asked why "there are no women and minorities on stage"
Research ››› ››› ADAM SERWER
Referring to the May 15 Republican presidential debate, Rush Limbaugh asserted, on the May 16 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, that "there's a template developing for the Republican debate last night. 'How come there are no women and minorities on stage?' I guess you forgot about 2004." He then said: "And I guess -- you know, the Democrats never get those kinds of questions because it's always assumed that they're fair and just, and not discriminatory and all that."
During the debate, co-moderator Chris Wallace, host of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, directed the following question to former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore:
WALLACE: Governor Gilmore, let me start with you. It's been suggested that the 10 of you could all be members of the same country club. What does it say about the Republican Party? And you used to be the chairman of this party and tried to build the tent -- to build the base. What does it say that there is no woman, no Hispanic, no African- American, no minority in this field of presidential candidates?
Presumably, debate moderators would not ask Democratic presidential candidates why "there are no women and minorities" on stage because the Democratic field currently contains two minority candidates, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who is Latino, and Sen. Barack Obama (IL), who is African-American, as well as a woman, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (NY).
In 2004, the field of candidates for the Democratic nomination included two African-Americans, one of them a woman, former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun (IL), and Rev. Al Sharpton. President Bush was not opposed by any major candidate in the Republican primaries of 2004.
From the May 16 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Now that is a joke those of us in the media tell because that is a template. Well, lo and behold, here's a story from CNN -- and all these drive-bys are the same -- and it's a story about a poll: "Local Governments Ready for Disaster, Feds Not." This is a perfect example of how lazy journalists use a poll for a story rather than actually doing reporting.
And here's the opening paragraph: "Most people say their families and local emergency agencies are ready for the next natural disaster, but the federal government is not. Women and minorities are less confident on both counts."
I kid you not -- "[w]omen and minorities." Hardest hit: women. You can count on it in every -- just like there's a template developing for the Republican debate last night. "How come there are no women and minorities on stage?" I guess you forgot about 2004. And I guess -- you know, the Democrats never get those kinds of questions because it's always assumed that they're fair and just, and not discriminatory and all that.
But, anyway, this story -- I guess it's too hard to investigate the government is actually ready for another disaster? This is an AP story -- but it's ran [sic] on CNN -- reports on yet another stupid poll by another stupid news organization, which actually shows nothing but how stupid the public is in believing everything the drive-by media says.
We've got a poll of the American -- why would you believe a poll of uninformed or ignorant people? What does it matter that a majority of Americans don't think the federal government's ready? Why not go ask the FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] people? They're the ones who would have to mobilize. So, we're to conclude, "Oh my gosh, the government's not ready! A majority of people don't think so. They must know something I don't." It's just trash -- absolute trash journalism.
Also, in the latter part of the story, Democrats were also less confident than Republicans that their families, local emergency agencies in Washington were ready for a disaster. So? Who cares? We know that Democrats are idiots anyway on most things.
From the May 15 Fox News 9 p.m. ET broadcast of the Republican presidential debate:
WALLACE: Thank you. I've got a couple of final questions, and I then I know [Fox News host] Wendell [Goler] does as well.
Governor Gilmore, let me start with you. It's been suggested that the 10 of you could all be members of the same country club. What does it say about the Republican Party? And you used to be the chairman of this party and tried to build the tent -- to build the base. What does it say that there is no woman, no Hispanic, no African- American, no minority in this field of presidential candidates?
GILMORE: You know, Chris, as national chairman of the party, I worked very hard with the rest of the party to reach out in the Hispanic community, reach out in the African-American community. I made appropriate appointments. As governor of Virginia, I did the same thing. I brought people together and brought people in.
As a person who has a record with the African-American community when I was the attorney general of the state -- there were church burnings that were going on all across the South -- I stepped up with my fellow attorney generals and spoke out against that, and it stopped. As the governor of Virginia, I favored the African-American universities in order to draw people together.
WALLACE: Governor, if I may -- because we're running out of time -- I'd like to ask you if you'd answer the question, which is: Does it bother you that, as you sit here and we see the 10 candidates on the stage, there is not a single minority running for president in your party?
GILMORE: Listen, there will be people from our party who are in the minority who will be candidates, and we have people that are prepared to do that in the immediate future.
But the fact of the matter is that the people of the United States have got to judge the people who in fact have stood up and decided to run, have put themselves into the arena. And they have to judge it on the way of the record, Chris.
I mean, I recognize that I shook things up here a little bit. But the fact is, the people of the United States deserve to know where people really stand, and the only way to do that is to examine the record.

Ricky Ponting provided the highlight to cheer a dressing room rocked by further injury news as Australia took an inevitable and inexorable hold on the second Test against Zimbabwe yesterday.
There were more personnel setbacks for the Australians as Brett Lee tore an abdominal muscle to join fellow pacemen Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie on the unavailable list, as well as leg-spinner Stuart MacGill, batsman Darren Lehmann and the suspended Shane Warne.
With Lee able to bowl only three overs in the morning, Zimbabwe's tailenders battled hard to take the overnight score from 8-256 to a respectable 308.
But after Australian openers Justin Langer and Matthew Hayden were back in the dressing room with only 46 runs on the board, Ponting clicked into some of his most dangerous form to storm to a century that put his side comfortably in control.
Ponting, 97 at tea, brought up his 18th Test hundred moments later, off only 113 balls, with his 16th four.
He and captain Steve Waugh had added 97 for the fourth wicket to take Australia to 3-245 before bad light halted play 36 minutes before scheduled stumps, with Ponting on 137 off 181 balls.
Waugh had moved steadily to 43 off 75 balls in what is likely to be his second-last Test on his home ground, before the fourth match against India in January.
It would be disappointing if this was his last Test at the SCG, given that this early-season match has been played in a decidedly flat atmosphere and only watched by a few thousand spectators on both days.
It would be a surprise if officials scheduled another Test for Sydney in October, following this first failed experiment with the timeslot.
Those who were there, however, were treated to a delightful exhibition by Ponting.
The Tasmanian was already 19 to Hayden's eight at lunch, and afterwards continued to help himself to Zimbabwe's outclassed attack, rattling up 50 off 51 balls. By the early close, Ponting had cut, pulled and driven 19 fours, as well as clubbing two sixes.
Ponting, who has now scored hundreds against every Test country except Bangladesh, was pleased with the way he seized the opportunity yesterday.
"The wicket's very good and the outfield's really quick, so it was just a matter of someone in the top order really applying themselves," he said. "When I went out there my approach was to be fairly aggressive. Once you get set on those sort of wickets you can score pretty quickly. I felt pretty good today, right from the start. I got off the mark first ball - it's always nice to do that - and things rolled on quite nicely from there."
The Australian vice-captain was also satisfied there had been a lift in application from the side after a lull on Friday, which could probably be linked to the small crowd.
"We were a little bit disappointed with our attitude and our enthusiasm yesterday [Friday]. We let ourselves down a little bit, we were probably a little bit quiet in the field. We spoke about that this morning and we've had a pretty good day today."
Play starts early at 10am today due to the time lost yesterday.

Project DescriptionFROM THE ARCHITECTS:
The City of Puebla is a place with a vast richness in culture and traditions where every corner is a clear proof of its history made throughout time; we can find a kaleidoscope of buildings, textures and sounds that are all interwoven and create the current Poblana culture. Within this cultural mosaic, we can find on the northeast side of the Zócalo, a complex of spaces destined for culture, education and recreation; this site will host the memorial.
While the competition called for an Emblematic Monument, often regarded as a sculptural object, this proposal creates a new project: an undulating spatial fabric made of the social and architectural current conditions.
The project aims to activate and foment the use of the site by creating new open public spaces and reinforce the beautiful city views and landscape.
The memorial promotes social interaction through the use of the interstices generated by the deliberated designed spaces. These gaps contain the program of the memorial: an amphitheater, a mix-use gallery underneath the amphitheater, a playground, shaded open spaces and service area.
Artificial resemblance of the original topography, the overlapping wooden layer offers a park of undulating movements. Doing homage, the park symbolizes one of the most important historical moments in Mexican history. 150 trees were located throughout the square, representing the years that mark the anniversary of the Battle of 5 de Mayo; the need of shade for the users comfort determined the location of the vegetation. The light poles reflect the number of battalions that fought, while its location points to the sites where the most important battles occurred.
Thus, the monument becomes an unexpected public space, a viewpoint that looks over the city, and a place for social and cultural exchange.

Three-quarters of Canadians view Pope Francis as a positive influence
By Michael Swan
Photo caption: Ray Pennings, the vice president of Cardus.
Canadians are mostly faithful believers in God who value family life, honesty, and concern for others, according to an Angus Reid Institute survey.
The vast majority extol forgiveness and morality. Solid majorities believe in heaven, life after death, and God's active presence in our world.
In a country that is less than 40 per cent Catholic, almost three-quarters of us (72 per cent) view Pope Francis as a positive influence in the world. Even the majority of non-believers (54 per cent) endorse Pope Francis' positive influence.
Four out of 10 Canadians pray regularly to God or some other higher power and just over a quarter of us say we experience God's presence.
Despite all this positive religious feeling, a sizeable number of Canadians are suspicious of religion, don't like overtly religious people, and shy away from religious institutions.
Only a quarter of Canadians told the Angus Reid Institute they believe the word "religion" has a positive meaning, compared to a third (33 per cent) who said they view the word negatively. Even among the most religiously committed, more than 11 per cent said they thought the word "religion" had negative connotations.
The Angus Reid Institute poll was undertaken in partnership with the Cardus think tank's Faith in Canada 150 program – the first of as many as six surveys planned this year to look at what and how Canadians believe.
"We live in a religious society," Cardus vice president Ray Pennings told The Catholic Register. "We may have a secular state, but our society is not secular. You see that all around in everyday life."
The negative perceptions Canadians have of religion as an institution reflect a problem in Canadian religious literacy, said Pennings.
"Institutions are part of what creates the private religious faithfulness. You don't get the one without the other," he said. "It's somewhat naive to make that distinction – to say you can have good religion without good religious institutions. It's not possible."
The Angus Reid study divides Canadians into four groups or mindsets on religion: non-believers, the spiritually uncertain, the privately faithful, and the religiously committed. The religiously committed, who take an active and public part in their religious tradition, represent 21 per cent of Canadians. Those who simply don't believe in God and organized religion are 19 per cent.
The mushy middle is divided between 30 per cent who are "spiritually uncertain" – who keep a distance from religious institutions and are reluctant to commit to a creed, but concede that there are spiritual realities – and another 30 per cent who are "privately faithful." This last group may be queasy about committing to a faith or a faith community themselves, but at the same time they believe such commitment can be a good thing.

Me and my partner visited Bath for the first time this July and chose to stay at Bath City Hilton. We have silver membership and a free nights stay so decided to use it there. When having a look at the prices without using the free night I expected luxury accommodation. At first glance when arriving I felt a little disappointed as the building has no character and isn't very inviting.
The staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival explaining where to park and how to use the token for the £15 overnight parking. They gave us a map of the city pointing out different attractions, where to go for shopping and dining. Though we arrived a little early before check in they were happy to give us a room and gave us a double as we had requested. We were offered help to get our luggage up to the room but we were travelling light so didn't take the staff up on this offer. The reception, bar and lounge was much more welcoming and very modern. It had two new lifts recently installed as well.
We were given a first floor room and told we would have a lovely view of the River. The room was a little disappointing in that it was quite dated and basic. It was good for a free night but I would have been very disappointed if I had paid the full price for the stay. The rooms are long overdue refurbishment to justify the prices of the rooms. Even the television was very old and was poor quality. As a young couple we like to access wifi when out and about. We couldn't even get on to hiltons wifi as it was only made accessible without paying for gold and platinum members. When up in the room I thought I should see this beautiful view from the window, however, all I could see was hiltons roofing and house tops. Despite being dated the rooms were clean and tidy.
The hotel is in a great location and everything we wanted to do or see was within walking distance. It is close to all the restaurants and shops, bath museum and the famous sally lunns cafe. We didn't have to move the car from the car park and Hilton were happy for us to leave it there as long as we needed to. If staying in Bath again it is unlikely that we would use this hotel again as it is just too costly and it doesn't offer the quality that would be expected with the Hilton brand. It wasn't too different to stopping in cheaper hotels such as a travel lodge or premier inn.
Again, there's something bizarre affecting the first few paragraphs and their punctuation. Not my fault, I assure you! Please read on! If you've never been to Bath, in the South West of England, then you should most definitely go. And you should go tomorrow! This beautiful, ancient Roman city has been very sensitively planned and developed and even the more modern buildings seem to manage to fit in with the honey-coloured Cotswold stone out of which the older buildings have been fabricated. The whole place has a very homogeneous feel to it. Bath, with its Roman spa baths, is an absolute delight. There's plenty to see and do - museums, relaxing river trips, sightseeing - and there is a myriad of excellent eateries and some absolutely superb places to enjoy a drink - notably the "Crystal Palace". Situated in something of a basin between hilly, scenic countryside, it also makes a superb base from which to explore the locality and the lovely city of Wells and the magnificent Cheddar Gorge (yes - it's where the cheese is made, and where all the tourists, in their thousands, go) are within exceptionally easy striking distance. We had booked two nights at the Bath City Hilton. Bath is anything but a drivers' paradise and we were very glad to deposit our car in the car park beneath the hotel and take to our feet for the duration of our stay. If there's one thing that Bath does not lack, it is open-top, double-decker tour buses, and these will ply for trade - and your cash - taking you around all the sights of the city. There is a wide variety of tours to choose from. We didn't take one, preferring to be more independent, but I guess that the routes they follow are all pretty similar. Emerging from the underground car park, we made our way into reception. The hotel is a modern, four-storey structure and at the time of our visit, it was undergoing major renovations, meaning that there was plenty of rather un
attractive scaffolding adorning the front of the building. Notwithstanding what I've already said about buildings in Bath fitting in with the existing environment, nobody could describe the hotel as being of any architectural interest. It's actually a rather boring cuboid, which matches the colour of Bath's existing architecture, yet which fails to inspire in a big way, despite its clean lines - or maybe, indeed, because of them. The weather was absolutely scorching and we almost dripped into the lobby, which was very efficiently air-conditioned. Joy! There's really nothing like walking into an air-conditioned room on a really hot day! On the left was the "Caffe Cino", and reception was on the right. Check-in was fast and efficient and we were soon in the lift heading aloft to our upgraded "Plaza" room on the third floor. The room was quite a walk from the lift and it rapidly started to dawn on me that the corridor, though nicely decorated and welcoming, didn't benefit from the air-conditioning we'd enjoyed downstairs. We reached our room and opened the door. No air conditioning there, either! Not a problem, usually, but this week the UK was experiencing the highest recorded temperatures in its history. It was anything but comfortable! The room was very pleasant, although if it was an upgrade (and it said so on a brass plaque on the door), then I'm not sure what on earth a standard room would be like. Cozy, comfortable bed, colour TV with the usual Hilton information systems, nice, well-appointed bathroom, and a very comfortable sofa. Apart from the fact, however, that we had a river view and that fresh fruit, chocolates and mineral water were delivered (daily), I couldn't quite see that this was really an "Upgrade". There wasn't even a bathrobe! Ho hum! Maybe my expectations are too high. Don't get me wrong - apart from the temperature, there was nothing wrong with t
his room at all. It just didn't strike me as being "OTT" special. I know I haven't shared this important fact with you yet, but it just happened to be our 13th Wedding Anniversary. Splashing out would have been nice, in the circumstances! That said, we?d booked a babysitter to look after baby Josh and she arrived, as arranged, at 6:30pm. The handover was like something out of a Cold War spy routine - meeting up at reception and arranging final details etc. I was starting to wish I'd called myself "Red Fox" or something similar! Helen, the babysitter, seemed very nice and we took her up to the room. She bonded immediately with Josh and asked what time he would go to sleep. Josh (who is almost two) tends to stay up late (which also means that he sleeps through the night and wakes up at a civilised hour), so we suggested that he'd probably be up until about 10pm. We headed off for dinner and some drinks. It was nice to have "a night off". Dinner, included in our deal, was absolutely wonderful. Served in the hotel's Mediterranean-themed "Zucotta" Restaurant, the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. We were given a table with a lovely view of the river and the famous Pulteney Bridge and ordered our food. I chose a delicious bowl of Cream of Stilton and Celery soup, whilst Amanda dived into the Antipasti buffet for starters. I followed this with Steak on a bed of Parmesan mash, whilst Amanda opted for a delicious salmon dish. A selection of ice creams, for me, and toffee and banana pancakes for Amanda finished off a most pleasant meal before we headed into town for a few post-dinner drinks. We returned to our room. All was quiet. Helen was sitting quietly in a darkened room reading a book in an oasis of peace and calm. "Josh" she said, "went to sleep at 7:30pm", as she relieved us of £36 for 4 hours? work. "She?s great" said Amanda, adding &qu
ot;I must write to the agency to commend her". When Josh (Bless 'im) awoke at 11pm and decided to spend the next few hours running wild around the room, I simply agreed to differ. Ah well - I hope it was a good book. I ought to add, in fairness, that the babysitter was arranged by an independent agency recommended by, but not anything to do with, the hotel. Morning came, and Amanda and Josh went down for breakfast which was, I understand, superb. Being in a Plaza room, I understand, entitles you to a table with a riverside view and the staff were very apologetic when one was not available. It didn't really matter; it meant that the boisterous one was kept out of other guests' way. And Josh liked it, too! The bathroom was great and the shower was just to die for. So powerful, indeed, that you could actually lean against the water flow and be supported. I emerged totally refreshed and completely invigorated. After our two day stay, we left, happy customers. It's not a great hotel and is not really anything much out of the ordinary. Four stars, certainly, but nothing out of the ordinary. The rooms are, however, comfortable, the staff are very friendly, and the location is absolutely unrivalled. As I started off by saying, you really must visit Bath. And if you do, I would recommend the Bath City Hilton. Andrew

Farmington • Two months after her son was killed while crossing a Clearfield street, Darla Allred said she's disappointedwith the ensuing legal process.
Three times now, she has filed into a Farmington courtroom to watch the man accused of driving drunk and hitting her son appear in court. Three times, the case has been delayed.
"It's kind of disappointing, because they keep prolonging it," she said Wednesday.
Jose Antonio Cortez Orozco, 37, has pleaded not guilty in 2nd District Court to charges of second-degree felony automobile homicide in Kelly Allred's May 20 death, along with charges of felony failure to stop for police, leaving the scene of an injury or fatal accident, and misdemeanor violation of a protective order.

In Reply to: RE: 300B PP or SE, serious DIY project posted by Neff on September 09, 2012 at 08:33:05
I have a PP 6C4C amp (like 2a3) and a 300b SET. Input sections for both are 4P1L driver stage. Input stage of the PP amp is 26, and SE amp is another 4P1L stage. For a while the PP amp - which is balanced through all 3 stages - sounded better than the SET. I thought I was done with SE amps at that point - the sound was excellent. Then gradually I worked on the 300b SET and now I wouldn't go back to PP.
What I learned in this process was:
1) Only use DHTs, no directly heated tubes anywhere.
2) Only use filament bias for the input stages. That meant choosing between 26 and 4P1L. The 4P1L is slightly better.
3) Use the best interstage transformers you can buy.
4) SE input stages sound better than PP stages if you use filament bias.
So I ended up with the schematic shown. Out of all the interstages I tried I liked the LL1660/18mA after the input and the Hammond 126C after the driver. The Lundahl is clearer and has good treble detail, and the Hammond is bifilar and adds a certain warmth and tone. It's better than two LL1660/18mA that way - don't ask me why but it just works.
I haven't built a parallel SET yet - I'm building one as we speak with multiple 4P1Ls in filament bias in the output and O-netics OPTs!!
So at this point I'd say build a parallel PP output stage but use a phase splitting interstage after the driver. Use two stages of 4P1L in filament bias and then a Tango NC16. I haven't used this myself but for the power I think this would be simpler. Stick with the 300b outputs.
I believe the input stages are the heart of the amp and that's where I've put all my development experiments. I avoid larger value cathode resistors and their bypasses like the plague, and I've never found a fixed bias that sounds as good as filament bias, not even battery grid bias. So that's where I am at this point. I absolutely love my amp - voices are just so real they "talk" to you and I listen mainly to vocal music as a result. I never got this with the balanced PP amp - it has all the tone and the detail and is a fraction cleaner on orchestral climaxes. But when I listen to voices it just annoys and irritates me now because that special extra dimension isn't there. Just gotta have my SET fix!! It's really like a drug.
The schematic is substantially correct, though I've played about with some of the values, and also I use glow tubes for voltage regulation of the input and driver stage. I also use choke input DC supplies to the input and driver section filaments, and carefully select the wirewound cathode resistors. I put a lot of work into optimising the first two stages. It's worth it. You may be surprised to see a cheap Russian tube here, but it's kicked out 10Y, 46, 26 and all the other DHTs I've thrown at it! The 4P1L, to give it proper credit, is actually a German Wermacht tube that the Russians copied! Some of those European DHTs were the dog's dangly bits.

Dear Friends,
Thanks to you — our supporters, investors, and partners — our goal of quality growth became a reality last year. We served 135,525 girls, a 10% increase over last year. Each of these girls benefited from the strengths-based, holistic approach to girls' development that is the signature Girls Inc. experience.
Given the constrained economic environment, how did we achieve this success? Girls Inc. affiliates — the majority — have developed board-approved growth plans responding to their communities' specific needs and in line with our network-wide Strategic Direction. A tremendous advantage of our grassroots network is the ability to share and learn from each other; we gave enhanced structure and process to sharing success stories and lessons learned. A cohort of affiliate leaders met monthly to communicate data, opportunities, and challenges. We worked to ensure that every interaction with our affiliates, from one-on-one intensive hands-on support to our annual fall affiliate conferences in each of our geographic regions, all focused on the priority of quality growth.
We also made serious progress against our multi-year goal of implementing a participant tracking system, including outcomes measurement for each girl served. We owe much thanks to the expert youth development evaluators, Child Trends, and the Outcomes Planning team, led by our Director of Research, Dr. Catherine Cushinberry, and comprised of affiliate leaders and senior national staff, for developing the concrete measures of how our programming, mentoring relationships, and environment change girls' lives for the better.
Our finances remain strong. Total net revenue was $9.2 million compared with a goal of $8.8 million. We ended the fiscal period with a net asset increase of $1.2 million, contributing to a healthy balance sheet with a working capital ratio of 1.03. Eighty-four cents for every dollar raised went directly to programming.
We are pleased that we increased our national scholarships to more than half a million dollars, two and a half times the funds available the previous year, and grew our pass-through grants to affiliates by nearly 25% to $1.2 million, helping to spur community investment in their growth.
I write this annual letter from our new, open, and much more compact New York offices; with this move, we're saving almost a quarter of a million dollars annually. Thank you for your belief in the potential of every girl and for your confidence in Girls Inc. Please know we take seriously your investment in our mission.
The appreciation I feel for our dedicated, professional staff, and, for you, our supporters, runs deep.
Dear Friends,
This year marked significant progress in our objectives to grow with true impact. It was also my first as Board Chair. I am grateful to my fellow Board members for their trust, and I look forward to working with all of you, our partners, as part of the most innovative, effective organization delivering transformational programs and experiences to girls.
This was a year in which girls' and women's issues were often at the forefront of conversation, so it is fitting that this was a year in which Girls Inc. continued to demonstrate leadership in providing solutions to these issues through our daily work and advocacy. More girls than ever conducted science experiments on college campuses, got hands-on experience investing a diversified portfolio, met women in government, and prepared to become tomorrow's workforce and leaders. They adopted healthy habits and learned to navigate the confusing media messages around them to focus on maximizing their strengths and potential.
As we celebrate this, we also renew our commitment to exceeding the expectations of our donors and partners.
We remain driven by a performance-orientated culture centered on continuously learning and improving. We continue to engage affiliates in support of their growth objectives and put in place systems to promote collaborative learning. I am confident that this strategic, intentional approach will continue to yield results.
Our success is a result of collective leadership and achievement. Our corporate and institutional partners, individual funders, professional staff, schools, and volunteers are all key parts of this picture. The expertise of our partners in areas such as investing, entrepreneurship, mentoring, and literacy have matched with ours in youth development to roll out timely new initiatives.
Our focus continues to be on accountability and collaboration for results. We delivered increased tools around program delivery and expansion, board diversification, and financial stewardship to our affiliates and continue to measure their successes with our rigorous quality assurance process. Our annual survey shows 10% growth in service to all girls, particularly to girls most in need: specifically girls from challenging economic backgrounds and girls of color.
While we have laid specific targets, we have one absolute measure of our success: increasing the number of girls who experience Girls Inc. and go on to lead productive, healthy, fulfilled lives that benefit their families, communities, and all of us. Thank you for your partnership.

Drake Responds To Internet Memes Mocking His Sensitive Lyrics [PHOTOS]
Sep. 19, 2013
After Drake's long-anticpated album Nothing Was The Same leaked this past week, the internet has been in a frenzy with these fan-made memes mocking the entertainer. Well, Drake had something to say (sort of) about all the jokes.
On Instagram, Drizzy was "liking" photos when he happened to like a flick with a certain message on it pertaining to all of the Drake haters.
Even though he didn't post the meme himself, we definitely got the message loud and clear. I mean, he does have a VERY valid point. No matter what, Drake's still the man.
Make sure to cop NWTS in stores September 24th.

Addressing a major death in the season opener, series creator Beau Willimon says the storyline for the said character had been mapped out 'before we even began writing season 1.'
"House of Cards" may throw fans for a loop after they watched the first episode of its second season. The season opener reveals the tragic fate of one major character as Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) continues to get rid of any obstacles in his way to presidency.
Thus, [SPOILER ALERT!] when Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) correctly assumes that Frank was behind Peter Russo's (Corey Stoll) death, Frank kills Zoe by throwing her in front a subway train. Following the shocking scene, series creator Beau Willimon discusses Zoe's tragic end.
To TV Guide, he says that Zoe's demise "was always in the cards." He claims, "I always knew what we wanted to do with Zoe's story, and so did Kate. The decisions of where we go with Zoe's story ultimately were made before we even began writing Season 1 in earnest."
To understand Frank's action, he suggests viewers "to think about it as Francis would." Willimon adds, "[The act] is one of expediency and one of decisiveness. You have to be decisive and ruthless in order to climb the highest summits of power. Francis' evolution is one of climbing higher and confronting the things that he has to do to take the next step."
If there's someone safe in Frank's ruthless world, "it's absolutely Claire," Willimon says. "Her approval is really the only approval that he truly cares about. And we've seen the price of what happens to the Underwoods when they are not working together," he explains. "Without each other, they are in free-fall. Ultimately the strength of their bond is the key to their mutual success, and that is definitely something we wanted to explore more in season 2."
Of Frank's insatiable thirst for power, Willimon says, "Francis wants power for power's sake, and he wants that power because power ultimately means possibility. The more you have, the more you can be the master of your own fate."
He continues, "None of us can cheat death, but we can more or less exert control over the path that our life takes, and both Francis and Claire want as much control over that as possible. I am not sure either of them can ever be fully satisfied. I think, for them, satisfaction is a form of complacency. That's what makes them so ruthless, and also so successful."
"House of Cards" 13-episode season 2 was released in its entirety on Netflix on early Friday, February 14.

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
By Samuel Yu
� What if the camera is dropped or runs out of batteries at the moment of capture? Will the image be corrupted?
Albeit cumbersome, there are chain-of-custody processes in place today to answer some of these questions. But given the wide availability of photo-editing software and the ongoing threats of lawsuits, these are just a few of the issues that real life CSI and police detectives have to deal with on an everyday basis. Could there be a solution which alleviates these concerns and let the police go back to focusing on doing �real police work?�
�Tamper-proof storage protects law enforcement officers by guaranteeing the legitimacy of evidence that we collect and deliver to the district attorney,� said Jim Shirk, Captain, Twin Cities Police Authority, (Larkspur, Calif.). �An unalterable and highly reliable archive eliminates the chance of accidentally deleting a crucial file, and ensures that evidence is accessible over a long period of time. Adopting this type of storage as our standard archiving media is a necessary step in maintaining a modern and effective police force.�
There are certainly many storage solutions out there for CSI photographers to choose from, ranging from the type of media to use at the crime scene, to the type of long-term archive storage to use for data backup at the lab. For many years, traditional analog film was the solution of choice. Film provides a hard negative as an original, and when stored in a controlled environment (NOT the shoebox in your attic), has been shown to provide a long archival life.
More recently, digital photography came along and revolutionized imaging, eliminating the cumbersome and time-consuming process of loading film, shooting pictures and getting them developed. Given these advantages, departments have eagerly traded boxes full of negatives for hard drives full of files, but the critical challenge of preserving photographic documentation remains. Unlike analog film, there are questions that naturally come up when the only original is in digital format: is it possible that someone could have edited the image in a photo editing software program, or could someone have just deleted an important picture altogether?

Planning commissioner proposes 'Right to Vote' law for Thousand Oaks
Just two days after Joel Price was appointed to serve the remaining 33 months on Dennis Gillette's term on the City Council, an initiative was filed at city hall that would make such an action illegal.
On Thursday, Planning Commissioner Michael "Mic" Farris submitted paperwork to the city clerk's office to start a petition for the Thousand Oaks Right To Vote Initiative. The measure, which will need an estimated 7,300 signatures to get on the local ballot, requires council vacancies to be filled by a special election, allowing interim appointments only until the date of the next statewide election.
On March 6, the City Council voted 3-1 to appoint Price, also a member of the planning commission, over 16 other applicants to take Gillette's seat. Gillette was forced to step down from the council in February to focus on his battle with diabetes.
Farris told the Acorn on Tuesday that it was Price's appointment, coupled with the council's selection of Tom Glancy in 2005 to fill Ed Masry's seat, which drove him to help write the law. In both cases, the councilmen had more than 2½ years left on their terms, yet the council passed on the opportunity to hold a special election coinciding with the regular city election in November, he said.
"A lot of people are very thankful that we are doing something about it," Farris said of the initiative's supporters, which include Councilmember Claudia Bill-de Peña, county Supervisor Linda Parks and Al Adam, who wrote a term limits initiative that is on the November ballot. "Many people remember not just this last appointment but the previous vacancy that was filled in 2005. That led to very similar public outrage.
"An initiative like this would make sure this doesn't happen again," he continued. "Voters will always be part of the process . . . of selecting (who) should fill a vacancy."
Farris, who was appointed to the planning commission in early 2011 by Bill-de la Peña (who voted against Price's appointment), said he's heard from many residents who are upset with the council for not holding an election, and that's why he decided to act.
Asked if he was concerned about the financial impact of the proposed law—which would require the city to pay for a special election even when another local election wasn't planned—Farris said he wasn't.
"We spend money on a lot of things that are important to people in the city . . . and one of the fundamental things that is important is the right of the people to support their own leaders," he said.
"I don't think the costs of special elections are prohibitive for Thousand Oaks," he added.
Under the state election code, the city attorney has until March 23 to write a title and summary of the proposal and return it to Farris, City Clerk Linda Lawrence said.
Farris, who ran unsuccessfully for the City Council in 2004, will have 180 days from the time the city attorney releases the summary to collect the required number of signatures, which is equal to 10 percent of the number of registered voters in T.O. At last count, there were 72,785 registered voters in the city, Lawrence said.
If Farris and his supporters are able to gather enough signatures, the measure will then go before the City Council, which may either adopt it into law, ask for a study to be done or send it to the voters.
The last day a measure can be added to the November ballot is July 2, Lawrence said. And the last City Council meeting scheduled before that date is June 26, giving Farris slightly more than three months to collect the signatures and have them certified by the county.
"There's some timing issues about getting this onto the November ballot," Farris said. "(But) it really depends on how much support we get for the measure and how quickly we can collect signatures."
Asked if he was planning to hire paid signature gatherers, Farris said, "I'm working right now with supporters with the organization needed to qualify this initiative for the ballot. I'm reaching out from all areas to help do that."
Farris said he has no plans to run for the council in November, when two seats are up for grabs. To read the full text of the initiative, go to www.torighttovote.org.
Story updated Thurs., March 15 10:00 a.m.

|Historical Society's 'Christmas in the Park'
captures holiday spirit
Celebration of the season set for Nov. 26, Dec. 2
|Bruce Alsobrook | News-Telegram Editor
Nov. 20, 2005 -- For some, the spirit of Christmas just means it's a good time to boost their profit margins.
That doesn't apply to the Hopkins County Historical Society, and there's no better proof than their upcoming "Christmas in the Park" celebration, now in its fourth year.
Some holiday gatherings may be flashier and most will certainly be more commercial, but few do as good a job of capturing the celebration of the season.
The annual get-together, scheduled for next Saturday with an encore on Friday, Dec. 2, at the Historical Society's Heritage Park, celebrates Christmas the old-fashioned way.
"Christmas in the Park" commemorates the sights, sounds and scents that bring back memories of happy holidays past — the park's historical homes and buildings decked out in festive Christmas lights, the comforting aroma of hot apple cider and hot cocoa wafting in the air, and tempting morsels of sweet, delectable holiday treats beckoning to taste buds. There will be live music in the park all evening, and Santa is scheduled to drop by to visit with the kids.
There also will be a gentle reminder of the true meaning of Christmas: A live Nativity scene.
"Christmas in the Park" will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26, and Friday, Dec. 2. at Heritage Park, 416 North Jackson St., at the intersection of East Houston and Jackson streets. Admission is $2 for adults, but there is no charge for children under the age of 12.

PoliceOne.com has done poll of 15,000 law enforcement officers, and they have ripped the sort of gun control laws advocated by our Marxist President to shreds:
- 91% say a ban on semi-automatic firearms falsely named "assault weapons" will have "no effect or a negative effect in reducing violent crime."
- "More than 91 percent of respondents support the concealed carry of firearms by civilians who have not been convicted of a felony and/or not been deemed psychologically/medically incapable."
- "A full 86 percent feel that casualties would have been reduced or avoided in recent tragedies like Newtown and Aurora if a legally-armed citizen was present (casualties reduced: 80 percent; avoided altogether: 60 percent)."
- "More than 81 percent of respondents were in favor of arming teachers and school administrators if they were properly trained and vetted or at least proficient."
Here are your answers from the cops on the street, folks: armed Americans save lives.
Force your politicians to listen to them.
It's common sense laws that they claim to support, after all.

A teenager must choose between the life she's chosen and the path her parents have picked out for her in this independent coming of age drama. At home, seventeen-year-old Alike (Adepero Oduye) is a sweet and soft-spoken girl who tries to follow the wishes of her straight-laced mother (Kim Wayans). However, there's another side of Alike that her parents don't know -- Alike is a lesbian, and with her best friend Laura (Pernell Walker) she slips out to downtown dance clubs where she feels free to be open about her sexuality, though she's still working up the courage to freely act on her desires. As she becomes more mature, Alike is torn between living the sheltered life her parents want for her, the club-hopping lifestyle Laura has already embraced, or something that lies in between, like her neighbor Bina (Aasha Davis).

The championship looks set for a grand finale at Lansdowne Road on Sunday 30 March when Ireland face England - and you can follow it all with BBC Sport.
Now that the Six Nations is back in its entirety, we wanted to hear what you think about our coverage.
Carl answered your questions on Friday 14 March.
You can hear his replies via the audio link at the right of the page - alternatively, you can read a full transcript of the interview below.
Martin Hoares, Eng.
The coverage has been pretty good so far but the build-up to the England v Italy game was poor because it was almost non-existent.
I think it is dangerous to decide which games merit more of a build-up than others - as it happens it provided some of the most exciting rugby we have seen in this championship.
CH: Thanks for your compliments about the coverage - in terms of build-up a lot of it is down to scheduling. Last Sunday we were moved to BBC One for the game at Twickenham which was a great slot and produced an audience of 5m.
We were also up against the FA Cup on BBC Two, so it was felt we should not have too much build-up. As editor of the programme I'd love more time - but we have to use what we are given as best we can.
The first 20 minutes of that game was a great watch - and hopefully the 15 minutes preview to the game was as slick and sharp as the England backline in that period!
Liam Heffernan, UK
Well done so far - your coverage has been superb - but why are the Interactive elements of your programme not promoted more?
CH: Thank-you Liam - we're very proud of our interactive coverage, and hopefully we can develop it over the coming years.
Yes we do promote it through from the trail ahead of the programme to Steve Rider and the commentators though the game.
There is a fine line - and there are a lot of people out there who don't have digital or satellite, and we don't want to upset them by banging on about it too much.
But we like it, there's been good feedback from viewers with people texting and emailing in. If you want us to mention it a bit more then perhaps we should - but then I don't want to upset my mum who doesn't have a digital television.
Pressing the red button turns her television off - and we don't want people doing that!
Jerry, England
Who decides what camera angles the director chooses?
I spent half the Wales v England game yelling at the TV as the camera kept zooming in on the action, when what we want to see is the game around the ball - I missed half the game.
CH: This is always a matter of great subjectivity. The directors themselves decide what angles they shoot from - that's why they are there - the match director is responsible for all that decision making process.
No two directors are the same and everyone has their own individual style.
The general remit is that we want to be up close to the action, but at the same time appreciating the value of wide geography shots to establish where people are. It's a complex game in that sense and growing ever more so.
I think all the guys we are using are doing a good job, obviously there are differences between each, but the general aim of the game is to miss none of the action, to reflect how big an occasion these games are.
That involves crowd shots & coaches and everything that occurs around the field, but at the end of the day it is about covering a rugby match properly. Hopefully we do that even if every cut made by a director is not to all our viewer's tastes.
Mike Bodsworth, UK
Why do we have so many replays during the coverage?
CH: This is another one which is a bit of a hot potato. But given the speed and demands of the modern game as a viewer you do want to see what is happening again - and perhaps make a second judgement on what you have just seen.
We are very self-critical when we do miss restarts - but the game is faster today.
The time lapses between action are getting smaller - sometimes decisions are made to have another look at a move when perhaps we should be on live action - but it's the job of a director to make those instant judgement calls, and I think to be fair it's an art not a science.
Tracey Fleming, England
I always though that Wales and Scotland were part of Britain - now it seems from watching your coverage that they are all part of England, as you seem unwilling to give anyone else coverage.
CH: I think that is a bit unfair to be honest. When Wales played England we fronted the show with a forum discussing the main issues in Welsh rugby.
We're not shy in pointing out that England are ranked number one in world rugby, and that is an important editorial statistic, wherever you are from.
But similarly we presented the show from Dublin last weekend, and were keen to point out that the Irish have now got their best chance of a Grand Slam since 1948.
We are the BBC, but we don't just want to concentrate on the Home nations, but also on France and Italy. It is the Six nations, and we want to reflect our coverage of all six in our coverage.
Madhu Satsangi, Scotland
Why do you give so little coverage to the women's Six Nations.
CH: Another easy question thanks!
We're having to make some pretty harsh editorial decisions about what makes the sir and what does not. There are A internationals which have a huge effect on the main competition and we haven't really been able to reflect that.
We did show parts of England's women thrashing France in their inaugural game on the first Saturday of the competition.
As a whole on the BBC women's rugby doesn't do too badly. Rugby Special has been good at monitoring the development of the women's game, and did a number of features on last year's Women's World Cup in Spain.
But we know there is an impetus on us to promote the women's game and we do not take that lightly.
Sam Highway, Wales.
Why do you let the Welsh commentate and comment on the English game? We as English are not allowed to have our say on the Welsh game, why then do we have to suffer Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies on our screens?
CH: Two parts there - we as English - if that's how Sam describes it have a commentator in Nick Mullins, co-commentators in Brian Moore and Jerry Guscott who have their say about the English, Welsh and everyone else.
Eddie Butler is a fine commentator. The fact that he is Welsh is secondary. The Butler - Moore commentary team has been a boon for our coverage. It doesn't matter where they are from.
The same with Jonathan - he is our main rugby analyst and works across both codes of the game - and I think he is superb. It is the power of what he has to say that matters, not whether he is Welsh.
As Bill McLaren used to say - the fact that he was Scottish shouldn't get in the way of the fact that he was a rugby commentator.
Gary Brown, Scotland
Excellent coverage, but I have found the after match discussion rather abrupt as you switch to the football results - why can't you stay with the game a little longer after it has finished?
CH: Gary - I sympathise with you here. It's all about scheduling. With two games on a Saturday the rugby invades parts of Grandstand that are usually the domain of football.
We're trying to ensure that we wrap up the day in such a way that the viewer knows all the storylines & the issues have been discussed, but we are also aware of the strength of the football audience at that time of day.
No two people's opinions on this are the same, but it is important that we do keep the balance across the sports and I think Grandstand has always prided itself on being able to do that.

|OIT-BCS Develops Broward's Sustainability Web Site
|Broward Computing Services News | Published Wednesday, October 22, 2008
Broward campuses has joined the university's Mission Green campaign with different initiatives across the Davie and Fort Lauderdale campuses. This campaign has as its objective to create a culture of sustainability at Florida Atlantic University, in an effort to educate the entire FAU community to be aware of, involved with, and committed to advancing sustainability through instructional programs, operations and community engagement.
As a way to inform the Broward community, and the university as a whole, OIT-BCS has developed a Sustainability Web site for the Broward campuses. The Web site highlights the projects currently taking place in our campuses in a user-friendly way, and also provides links to other university sustainability resources. Furthermore, the Web site features videos of key players explaining the different endeavors that are taking place.
Additionally, and as part of the sustainability initiative, OIT-BCS is participating in Broward's Recycle program, and has implemented a few projects to save energy. One of them is the installation of an e-control system that allows the control of the classroom projectors centrally, thus permitting the overall shut down when equipment is not use at a particular time. Similarly, all the machines in the open lab and instructional computer classrooms are automatically shut down when classes are over.
If you want to learn more about OIT-BCS initiatives, please contact our sustainability representative Keith Adderley at email@example.com, or Broward's sustainability representative, Reid Morgan at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Judy's first job was to get all the sand out of her ass crack. I helped her with that job in the shower and worked at a few other places just in case some sand had crept in.
* * * * * * *
Needless to say, everyone was very exhausted both physically and emotionally. I didn't know that men could come as many times as we had made them come yesterday. I was still thinking about the strawberry jam, so I borrowed Jude's "twenties" outfit (trading her my bronze wrap) and she lacquered my nipples and the surrounding rings black. The trick was going to be getting the idea into Jack's head. Over breakfast I kept dropping things and bending over to pick them up or wipe splatters off the table, and when we were done eating Judy led Bob down to the beach for a swim. She walked through the sand quite well with the thicker heels of my bronze Baby Dolls, and I knew I would have to try doing that myself. Then, when Jack's back was turned I pulled up the black beading and stuck a blob of red gooey jam on my twat and hiked my butt up on the table. "Oh damn, I'm really fumbly this morning -- Jack, come and clean me off." He was immediately on his knees to lick me clean. "No, no, wait! This feels kinda nice. Spread some more around with that table knife," as I stretched fully out on the table and lay back inertly. He knew right away he had been set up and got into the act.
"Would Madam like butter on that muffin first" he asked. I nodded vigorously. With the greatest of care he spread a thin coating of butter all over my cunt, using the knife very deftly as he worked a little into the crack. "Strawberry, or marmalade Madam"
"Strawberry -- red to compliment my black gown and nipples, please" I responded
"Very good Madam." and he proceeded to spread more gobs of the red confection on my twat, placing one firm strawberry right into the top my crack.
"Permission to eat Madam's muffin" he requested and "Permission granted." I replied. With that he nibbled, and licked and chewed every inch of my twat until it was almost squeaky clean, then sucked the strawberry out. "Permission to fuck Madam on the kitchen table" he grinned.
"Oh yes, and very quickly too please Jack."
He climbed up and mounted me. Together we made the cutlery clatter and rapidly reached climax. He did the dishes while I restored Judy's gorgeous patent pumps to their lustrous black shine -- spilled jam is a hard thing to get off.
This was the last opportunity for fishing from the cottage for this season, so the guys were to spend the day doing that. Judy and I would prepare a late supper and have the afternoon to ourselves, however Judy's first job was to get all the sand out of her ass crack. I helped her with that job in the shower and worked at a few other places just in case some sand had crept in.
We then slipped on the nightgowns from the previous evening. That is, Judy tried on my russet gown and I wore the royal blue peignoir she had worn. I borrowed her silver sandals with the solid metal heel. Wow, that very narrow heel bottom was so heavenly to balance on. Judy was anxious to walk in my two inch burgundy platforms with the six and a half inch heels, and swirled (or tried to swirl) in front of the mirror admiring them. She told me how really excited she was getting with her arches firmly bent and calf muscles pulled tightly, venus thrust outward by the very high heel, but when she went to walk, she just couldn't get the feel of setting the platforms down squarely with the heels just raised above the floor, then dabbing the heel down to hold her balance, so she clumped about awkwardly. "For now, wear my bronze Baby Dolls, and then in the kitchen where you only have to "step" around the counter, not stride ahead, slip the platforms back on. I'll have you moving smoothly in them before the evening," I assured her.
We tidied up the whole cottage, while enjoying the swish and swirl of the gowns, the bareness of our cunts, then moved to the kitchen to prepare supper. Judy was walking a little steadier, but was still far from graceful. When the meal was ready for the oven I put slow dance music on the CD player.
I explained to Judy that platform shoes were for standing straight, like a taut pillar and how you could not rock from side to side but rather needed to swing one foot in front of the other. I made her get the feel of pressing forward with her toes until the heels just lifted from the floor and then sliding the foot forward. Women, I told her, are used to pushing away with the ball of each foot and with each step, bending the knee to flick the heel out behind. Platforms were to give the illusion of floating forward with the heel staying straight up and down.
Then, I held her firmly around the waist, my pelvis pressed into hers, our tits interlocking. "Now, this way, you won't fall off of those soles," as I kissed her ear and began to waltz with her. Slowly, dance after dance, she improved, and at last I let her glide in circles on her own. Her beautiful body inside the gown had gotten me pretty worked up and I sat back to watch her rhythmic movements. Again, I joined her and we danced more freely. Her bare pudenda continued to bump against mine as her body became caught up in the tight style of dancing, I grasped her to me and she shuddered and came. I led her to the bedroom.
"I'm ready for a screw Jude, but today I want it a little different," I said as I knelt on the bed.
"You want it up the ass" she questioned me with startled eyes.
"Oh God no, I responded, I'm certainly not into that. No, I want it in the cunt but from the rear if you will do it that way," and pulled the sheer blue material up over my butt. As she strapped our dildo on I put my face down into the pillows and braced my hands against the head of the bed. With the thin silver heels sticking out behind and my breasts rubbing the bedspread through the thin nylon I felt the hard head of the long prong probe into my wet slit. Holding my hips, Judy started into slow thrusts timed to the music still playing down the hall. Farther and farther in it went, its mass spreading me wider and wider until I felt her pudenda tight against my ass. She slid her hands forward, while still fully buried in my body, and grasped each tit, massaging firmly with her fingers. I started to thrust my butt backwards and forwards with each squeeze of her hands. Then, abandoning my jugs to their own free weight, she grabbed my hips again and began matching thrusts with her pelvis. I heard her moan, and I screamed as I tightened my twat around the rod. Seconds later she too screamed and slumped down, breasts against my back, dildo still inserted and we sobbed as the excitement drained away.
We slept for a while on our backs, she with the dildo standing erotically upwards. We woke to strip, shower and shave each other and redressed in the same outfits, but this time with nipple rings. I wore her crosses under the dark blue and she put in simple gold rings onto which I threaded a length of gold chain to dip slightly on its path from peak to peak, the ends of the chain dangling about three inches down from each tit.
Supper was served by candle light again, but it was Judy who kept getting up to fetch more food and coffee. I think she was playing showoff about how she could now move around on such very high heels, or perhaps to show her bareness. In any case, I enjoyed watching the sway of chain between those bobbing globes as she moved between counter and table, the heels barely raising as she seemed to glide beneath the russet shadow. It gave me some idea of how I must have looked the night before.
It was decided that because it was a very warm evening that we would have a last swim of the season, so while the guys did the dishes we changed to Baby Doll shoes for the walk to the beach. The thicker heels did provide some stability through the sand and we strolled along the beach in the moonlight, and back again to watch the neat rounded toe prints wash away as the water lapped the sand. Judy and I kicked off our shoes then and waded into the water, letting the gowns billow up around our bodies and float out onto the water and we splashed water onto our boobs so that the flimsy fabric would cling to them. Our rings and her chain sparkled in the moonlight and we all swam in lazy circles caressing each other as we floated by.
Bob had brought a pitcher of warming Rob Roys to the beach with four glasses and so we lay on the sand, the men naked, and Judy and I with wet gowns clinging over our twinkling breasts and splayed over our hips showing delightful firm slits. At last, Judy rolled over on her belly and presented a bare raised butt to Bob, who quickly got the idea and "rose" to meet the occasion. Jack and I strolled down the beach until we found a shadowy area and I stripped my gown and stretched out on the warm sand for him to take me fully naked.
When we came back Judy and Bob were on their way to the cottage. Judy was carrying two pair of shoes, thank God, because they were too special to leave on the beach overnight. At the cottage Judy slipped my burgundy platforms on again and I the silver sandals. We moved around naked except for our breast adornments as we finished the cocktails and then led our men away for sex and sleep.
When I heard Jack and Bob each finish showering in the morning, I slipped next door and into bed with Judy for some pillow talk. I asked about her feelings at the beach and she told me about how, while she was screwing me in the afternoon, she had realized she had no idea of what we were sharing from my perspective, of how she had craved to experience the feel of an "upside down" fuck, and of how there in the moonlight she had melted to the situation and her desire.
I told her that it had been my first time that way too, and was hoping to give either Jack or Bob the experience if they wanted it, while I would like to try her the same way on another occasion. She slipped warm fingers around my twat and rubbed tenderly as we traded our emotional and physical feelings from the experience.
I had promised, once, to tell her about my thoughts when she had given me my bronze Baby Dolls, and of some of the other shoes my mother and I had bought when I was sixteen:
I was particularly fond of a pair of party shoes we had bought on that birthday. They were white with yellow, blue and pink flowers embroidered down theout side and over the vamp. The toes were slashed open diagonally, exposing almost the full length of four toes on each foot. The inside of each pump was cut away from just behind the ball of the foot back to the heel cup, and the heels were fully five inches high and pencil thin. I had asked my mother how I was ever going to wear such high heels, and she replied "Like everything else, Nancy, practice. You will want to wear such heels to a dance some night with a special young man. If you want to dance gracefully with him, your body pressed to his, and have him think you are the most stunning girl on the floor then you will want the highest heels and must have confidence in your dancing. That confidence comes from learning how to walk and dance in such shoes now, not a few days before the dance."
I told Judy that sounded pretty domineering, but I practiced a lot and the prophecy held true, and I had been wearing just those shoes, the first night I knew Jack wanted me. "Where are they now Nancy," she asked, as I tugged gently on her chain.
"I'm not sure, somewhere in the storage room I think, why"
"You must search for them. For one thing, I'd love to see such a gorgeous style, and even try them on if you'd let me wear such sentimental treasures, and for another, you should wear them again sometime for Jack," Judy commented as she rose to the call from the kitchen, of "Breakfast's ready!"
We quickly threw on sheer gowns (after removing our nipple ornaments) and some heels and went to eat. Showering together quickly while the dishes were being done, then pitching in to help pack the car in our sheer blue tops and jeans, but having thrown out the "skimmer" flats for the greater pleasure of our high Baby Dolls, we prepared for the long drive home.
After Jack and I got back to the house, I went searching in the storage room and did find my white shoes, and tucked in beside them was a pair in an almost identical style - except they were black with a little red tulip design that flared up the instep with another up the back. The soles were cut squarer across the toe than I had remembered, but in fact I thought that made them look even better. They had been designed by Gino Paoli and were imported from South Africa. I slipped the white ones on for a few moments to again enjoy their feel. With new heel taps they would still look great -- perhaps I'd plan a Spring outfit just to go with them. I decided to give Judy the black ones. I realized too, that I must make another russet gown (with no cut away front) as I felt somehow there would be another time I might have to make a group speech.

NORRISTOWN, Pa., Aug. 18 // -- LCR Electronics, a leading manufacturer of high-end military, telecom and commercial enclosures as well as EMI filters and electronic products, has expanded its existing line of AdvancedTCA (ATCA) systems to include three new rugged chassis. The new chassis offer increased design flexibility in a wider array of industrial, commercial and rugged military environments.
All of the new models conform to MIL-STD-810 Method 514.5 and MIL-STD-167 Type 1, para. 5.1 for vibration as well as MIL-STD-810 Method 513.5 for acceleration, making LCR's ATCA systems ideal for airborne, shipboard and mobile applications.
The Gemini, built to PICMG 3.0 Rev. 2, and the KBWD, built to PICMG 3.0 Rev. 3, are both 13U chassis available in dual-star 14-slot versions or in mesh 3-, 5- and 7-slot configurations. Also built to PICMG 3.0 Rev. 3, the 12U KBWD-2 features a dual 6-slot design, with each electrically-isolated, full-mesh backplane featuring four node slots and two hub slots. All three use an intelligent platform management bus (IPMB).
Both the KBWD and KBWD-2 dissipate up to 300 W per slot with dual redundant fan trays and rear transition module (RTM) cooling. The Gemini dissipates 200 W per slot using a single fan tray with RTM cooling available.
The Gemini incorporates a power entry module (PEM) with two hardwired 50 A circuit breakers (CB) for A and B bus power. The KBWD and KBWD-2 use pluggable, smart, redundant 100 A CB PEMS to provide power through both the A and B bus. An optional MIL-STD 461 filter is available on the KBWD-2. Each uses a standard -48 VDC ATCA power input with options available for the Gemini and the KBWD.
The units can be used as a standalone unit or mounted vertically in a standard rack system. Side-mounted slides on the Gemini's lower portion eliminate the need for a 1U chassis slide unit when mounted in a rack system.
The Gemini weighs 50 lbs, the KBWD weighs 82 lbs and the KBWD-2 weighs 80 lbs. Operating temperature for all is -10 degrees C to +70 degrees C.
Pricing starts at $19,750 per unit in low volumes. Delivery is 10 days ARO, depending on requirements.
