'first time' smuttiness for the love geek freaks.
Greg has to factor into how they get together. Anyone on the team or in the lab (etc) has to discuss the tv show House and debate House & Cameron vs. House & Cuddy.
Nick and Warrick sat in the break room, beginning with the discussion of the open/shut case they had just finished. They reminisced, but like all other cases they had to put it behind them no matter how close to home the case might have hit. Trying to get something light into the conversation, they began to talk about the end of the writers strike, getting more then hyperactively involved in discussion of new episodes of their favorite shows. When the mere mention of House came into play, the two butted heads of possible "hook-ups" involving the mentioned characters.
"I m tellin' you man House is going to end up with Cameron." Nick said with a satisfied grin.
Warrick scoffed. "Not even, the chemistry that he has with Cuddy is going to take affect, just you watch and see Nicky."
"Naw man, they wouldn t be teasing the audience like that. Sure, House got history with Cuddy but so does Wilson, he's going to end up with Cuddy just you watch."
"He's with Amber, Nicky."
"Don't mean that their going to be a couple for the rest of the show."
"Trust me, it's with Cuddy."
"Cameron," Nick said easily.
Warrick squinted and bit the inside of his cheek, getting up to grab a soda from the fridge. "Cuddy," he said popping the top open letting the marginal sound of sizzling resonate them. Nick stared at him with a squinted expression watching to see how determined Warrick was in defending his favorited pair. "Cameron, my man."
"Oh, always baby. Seriously though, you wanna bet on that?"
"It's not going to happen now. Any good TV show, just wouldn't put the two together like that, you gotta wait a couple of years, drive the audience mad," he said definitively.
Warrick sipped his soda, laughing at Nick's determined behavior. He was right; he himself had seen more TV shows then possible to not contradict that small and excruciating detail. How many shows had he seen to say that the two knowingly favorite pair spent years and years driving the audience mad? He couldn t give up that easily, but loved to push Nick's buttons. "Make the audience mad? Sounds like you have some history in this department."
Nick laughed full heartedly and leaned back into the couch. With a small playful glare, he began to tap his leg rhythmically. Warrick threw his hands up in defense. "What?"
"Trust me on that, House and Cameron. O-T-P."
Warrick arched and eyebrow and laughed. "Excuse me?"
"One True Pairing."
He stared at him incredulously and scoffed when Nick managed to cast a long stern look. "My bad."
"House and Cameron."
"House and Cuddy."
At that sudden moment Greg walked in, plopping beside Nick watching them both intently. "Greggo, tell this man about the House and Cameron situation," Nick said getting up and grabbing a soda for himself. "You want one?"
Nick grabbed an extra one, tossed it to his subordinate, grabbing the paper to check the scores and sat back down in his original spot. With a quick catch Greg began, "Certainly Nicky." He turned toward Warrick and began with a flashy smile. "You see Warrick, House and Cameron are going to end up together regardless of what s happening now. Sure she's with Chase, but it s like that in just about every show. One of the main people or both actually have to get some other people in. And by that I mean as in a small relationship here, a small relationship there, you know just to throw people off. You can t just put them together that'd be to soap opera-ish. House and Cameron are going to end up together because A," he said sticking his pointer out and ticking it, "they've danced the dance of seduction for waaaaaay too long. B," out went the middle finger, "they've had robot sex-"
"Robot sex?" Warrick interrupted.
"I'll let you borrow my DVD's, it's kinda hard to explain and let alone it's a long story."
"Anyways, and C," out went the ring, "their like totally cute together."
Warrick threw his hands up and barked a laughed causing some commotion to stop outside the confinements of the break room. With a sheepish sorry the commotion began at once, the buzzing of telephones and conversations displayed in every crevasse in the building. Noting the exultant sense that radiated off of Greg and Nick, he knew he was fighting a losing battle. In his peripheral vision Catherine came striding in, sighing at the full pot of coffee and not taking into account the presence of her 3 employees.
"Oh god yes," she sighed, taking the mug and dumping the darkened contents into a styrofoam cup. She brought the cup to her lips and inhaled steadily taking a long gulp of it. The three men watched with utmost curiosity and stared at one another before returning their gazes on Catherine. Finally noticing that she was being surveyed, she set the cup down and tried to play off her previous notion.
"What?!" she snapped. Reflexively they threw their hands up in defense murmuring 'nothing, nothing', then returned to their conversation. "So, that's my case," stated Greg with most definite sanguine.
With another deep gulp of coffee, Catherine walked over and sat by on a lone chair. "If you don't mind me asking, but what are you guys talking about?"
Greg piped up and arched his back, cracking it in the process. "Oh, the House and Cameron versus House and Cuddy battle," he said with a satisfied sigh.
"Oh that," Catherine said, moving over to sit in the free spot near Nick. "Yea, who's the evil Huddier over here?" she said glancing at Nick.
"What? No," Nick pointed at Warrick and pursed his lips. "Guilty."
Warrick threw his hands up in defense. "Hey, I was just tryna make conversation."
"You just can't treat the audience to robot sex and not make them get together. I mean House and Cuddy could possibly have sex again, but's it's not what she's looking for nor what House is looking for. House and Cameron are both damaged, they need each other. Trust me, they've danced the dance of seduction and probably will continue with it for a couple of more seasons."
"Did you guys get together on a free weekend and discuss this or something?" Warrick asked genuinely confused.
They laughed. "Huddiers," Catherine said with a definitive scoff.
Warrick licked his lips and let out a scoff, shaking his head in slight disbelief. "You guys are crazy."
They sat their in comfortable silence glancing at one another and letting out a chuckle every once in a while. "You know who else danced the dance of seduction for a couple of years?" Greg asked.
They glanced at each other and shook their heads with a slight grin.
"Grissom and Sara," they said simultaneously.
"Hello Gilbert," came a familiar voice from the door. It never rendered him completely hopeless but made a grin appear almost instantly every time they openly flirted. Letting himself lean back in his own chair and receive her welcoming ways, Grissom sighed and placed his hands behind his head. She pursed her lips and leaned against the doorframe, ever so casually smiling at his response. He motioned for her to come in with a hand gesture. "Sara."
"Missed you," she said walking in and taking a seat opposite him. The smirk continued to play on both their lips, matching to a point.
"Same," he said looking at her over the rim of his glasses.
"Anything new?"
"Greg was prodding?" he tried with a slight lean forward.
"Us," Grissom said nonchalantly.
She snapped her head up with genuine engrossment. "What'd he say?" she said, her voice mixing with a hint of laughter and disbelief.
"How we'd first 'hooked up,'" he said using air quotes.
"Aaaah, I see. What'd you say?"
Grissom arched an eyebrow. "As usual, nothing."
"You just love keeping them guessing don t you?"
"Well, of course. Fantasies are best kept private anyways..."
Sara smirked and leaned forward taking his hands in hers, brushing her thumb against his. "I remember it as if it were yesterday," he said with a reminiscent grin.
"Indulge me," Sara said with a smirk of her own.
"Our first 'time' or when we first got together?"
She let out a low, unsteady sigh. "Our first 'time.'"
Grissom let out a chuckle. "I think you need to close the door for this one."
She got up and did just that, leaning against it seductively and going back to her chair after a couple of seconds.
"You sure?" Grissom asked, uncertain.
Sara nodded her head.
"Very well..."
Grissom sat on the bed re-reading Moby Dick. It was a promise he made to himself before he "kicked the bucket", and he was obligated to do it. When Sara found him, she smiled and kissed him, leaving him to be with book and glasses in hand, making good use of her time by watching an X-Files episode. With his head tilted back and glasses perched on the bridge of his nose he managed to catch a glimpse of Sara. She tilted her head back, laughing graciously at something Mulder had said, that Grissom found himself momentarily halting his reading and watching her avidly. A bead of sweat trickled from his forehead, down to the mid-way of his cheek, swiping at it absently with the back of his hand.
Sensing she was being watched, she looked back and smiled. She motioned for him to join her but he shook his head politely, pointed at the back and mouthed "Book."
Sara shook her head and mouthed back "Your lose."
He contemplated it and figured he could read later that evening. He was about to get up when Sara clicked off the TV and walked near him, floating almost with giddy build up. He lifted an eyebrow and set the book face down onto the night table. She smiled back and began to toy with the lining of the bed. Grissom scrunched up his face and leaned forward trying to decipher Sara's methodic ways.
"Sara?" he asked concern.
"I uh...wow, this is, how do I put this...I mean-"
"Sara you're babbling," he interrupted politely.
"Oh. Sorry, I just..."
He narrowed his gaze at her and smiled. "C'mere."
She complied and walked over to him, sitting near his waist.
"No," Grissom shook his head, "come here."
She didn't get it at the time and when she did she chuckled lightly. "Are you sure, Gris? I mean...I don't wanna make you feel pressured..."
He shook his head. "No one's pressuring anyone," he said looking intently into her eyes. She stood and smiled, placing a finger to the strap of her shirt and letting it linger there. Grissom watching with hooded eyes as the scene in front of him began to unfold. He felt a sudden rush of saliva in his mouth. Swallowing, he knew he probably loooked like a thirst plagued person but could careless. Regardless of his now dry mouth, he found enough energy to muster out a raspy "Sara" in her direction. She smiled and flung the shirt aside in one quick motion.
Soon, all of their clothes followed, lying in solitary crumpled heaps. They found their way onto the bed, covering themselves with the thin white sheet. Grissom licked his lips and kissed Sara slowly, letting their tongues duel for dominance. His hands roamed across her body, wanting the moment to be special but in all actuality, his body expressed raw animalistic preferences. Grissom fixed himself at her entrance before looking back at Sara for permission. With a final nod from her, he entered her agonizingly slow, letting a groan surface from deep within his throat.
He pulled out and in, finding a nice slow and deliberate pace settle between the two. He continued to thrust into her, letting hard and long strokes fill her. She jerked up slightly every time he did, watching her pant and gasp, crumpling swaths of bedsheet between her fists. Grissom let out a loud moan himself, filling her contract around him in a steady but treacherous orgasm. She withered and thrashed her head back and forth, leaving Grissom to shudder from the feeling of contraction around him. His body begged, to be spilt within her, but began to think of non-sexual things. He closed his eyes, the tiny beads of sweat slowly making their way down his back. Sara arched up taking him in suddenly and inhaled sharply at the new found feeling.
"Don't," came Sara's throaty response.
Grissom's eyes flung open and looked startled. "Don t?" he echoed.
He did just that. Seconds later, the walls around him crashed suddenly, filling her up with his thick milky fluid as Sara's own waves contracted around him at once. They began to pant and heave, trying their best to catch their breath. Sara kissed Grissom on the top of his head, gasping and chuckling into his hair.
"What's so funny," Grissom asked breathlessly.
"Oh, it s a very good hmm. That's why I was laughing."
"Indulge me," he parroted with equal flirtatiousness.
"Before that I thought I was a non-multi person."
Grissom blushed and laughed. They continued to talk well after Catherine, and Warrick interrupted them to say a quick good night. Sensing that everyone else had gone out, they headed out of the building. A whiff of cold air passed over them as Greg stood in front, seeming to appear out of thin air. With a startled expression expressed by the both of them Grissom asked, "Greg? What are you doing?"
"Can I ask you guys a question?"
"You just did," Sara replied smugly.
Greg threw his head back and began to slap his hand against his knee profusely causing the janitor to look up from his duties. Grissom and Sara turned back slightly toward each other and shrugged. Once he stopped, he expressed a stern look. "You're a clown you know that?"
Sara smirked and crossed her arms across her chest chuckling lightly.
"Go, ask away Greg. But if you say 'How'd you two hook up' we're leaving."
"Ok...so...how'd you and Sara first begin to see each other?"
Grissom let out a sigh and clasped a hand to his shoulder. "Maybe some other time Greg, we're both tired."
Greg made a face and tilted his head to the side. "You re kidding."
"No, really."
With that said and a quick good bye Grissom and Sara made their way to their car. Being that the gentleman that Grissom was, he stepped in front of Sara and opened the door for her, bowing graciously in a 'after you' motion. With a nod of the head, she stepped in. Grissom soon followed buckling in and turning on the car.
"Are you seriously going to tell Greg?"
Grissom smirked. "Never in a million years."
Hope you enjoyed, and R&R is always welcomed.

Packaging: Secondary Packaging
Automated Secondary Packaging Solutions
Bliss boxes, trays, and flexible overwraps are rapidly replacing regular slotted containers (RSC). The use of pouches and other irregularly shaped primary packaging increases the complexity of forming, handling and transporting products. Vibrant, colorful graphics as well as clear or reflective materials can be difficult for many sensors to detect reliably.
Banner's industry knowledge, expertise in sensors, LED lights and indicators combined with one of the most comprehensive product catalogs in the industry allow us to offer products and solutions that specifically address these challenges, improve efficiency and increase product throughput. We are experts in advanced optics, LED, laser, and photoelectric circuits, offering high-performance, easy-to-use sensors capable of solving some of the most challenging applications in secondary packaging. Our full line of vision and image sensors provide comprehensive inspection capabilities for label verification, bar code reading, optical character recognition and date/lot code inspection. LED lights and indicators provide years of brilliant bright illumination and status indication.
Loop Control of Clear Plastic
The detection of clear plastic is always a challenge. The optical beam of traditional photoelectric sensors will burn through clear material, making sensing results unreliable. The U-GAGE T30UX Series Ultrasonic Sensor uses pulses of ultrasonic energy, which reflect off the target and back to the sensor, to reliably detect clear materials. In this application, a T30UX with an analog output is being used to monitor the tension of the loop.Read More

Dr. Crowell is a good knowledgeable doctor, but she does not keep her word, for example, she offers you to schedule an appointment with another specialist, but it NEVER happens. I tried calling her office and reminding for 4 month! and finally gave up. Waiting time for an appointment with Dr. Crowell is not shorter than 3 weeks.

Dr. Karen Crowell is great. Every time I need to see her, she is kind, caring and I never feel rushed through. She makes me feel like I am her only patient at the time. She spends time listening to my symptoms and asks thorough questions. Her office staff is very nice, especially her nurse, Wanda. Average wait time in her office for me is about 25 minutes at the most but I would wait longer without complaint because I know that she tries to make sure all her patients get the care they deserve and sometimes that means spending more time with one patient while the rest of us wait a little longer. I also know that if the problem were urgent or an emergency, she would take me right back immediately.

I have been to see dr Crowell twice now, and she is wonderful. However, I had to wait over two weeks for an appointment both times, and didn't see her until an hour and fifteen minutes after my scheduled appointment time, and an hour and forty-five minutes after the second time. After my most recent appointment, the staff didn't acknowledge my presence for almost 10 minutes while I was trying to schedule a follow up appointment. It has been over a week since my most recent appointment and I have called twice trying to get my lab results, with no response. It is really disappointing to have these problems when I really like the dr. I hate giving bad reviews but my experience has been beyond frustrating, and rather disappointing.

Hear what our customers have to say!
Ashley & Kevin, Married October 2013
"Hey, One last email just to say thank you. You have been an outstanding help through all of the wedding planning. You always responded to emails quickly and were always so pleasant to talk to, even if it was the hundredth time I asked the same question. All of the servers/bartenders were sweet and absolutely fantastic. I would recommend you and Metropolis to anyone. Thank you for helping our wedding be everything it was. Forever Thankful."
Emily, Married June 2012
We held our wedding reception at the Metropolis Resort, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was beyond accommodating, and the reception went extremely smooth. They were very accommodating when we needed extra rooms for our block, and the guests who stayed at the resort had only great things to say!
Jean, Jenny & Matt married June 2012
Thank you so much for the wonderful service we received this past weekend for Jenny and Matt's wedding, It was picture perfect for Jenny and Matt. I received so many compliments on the set up of room/service we received. Everyone did a fantastic job.
Jodi Vinck, Human Resources Specialist at Midwest Dental
We have held our company Christmas party at the Metropolis Resort for the past few years and have had wonderful experiences. The staff has been extremely accommodating and helpful from planning to execution. The food was great and the guests had a fantastic time!
Kayla Bauer, Executive Assistant at Midwest Dental
The Metropolis Resort has been wonderful to work with over the past few years. I feel confident that our guest are always well taken care of and even upgraded when possible. We have hosted two holiday parties in their Sky Room and are currently planning our third! The atmosphere is great, the team is fantastic to work with and the food is good too! Meeting planning is a breeze and always well executed. Thank you for being so accommodating!
Lindsay O., Meeting Planner
Recently had our conference at Metropolis for 140 people from across the state of WI. The accommodations and conference space were unique and super clean. The staff was so accommodating and helpful from the beginning of planning through the close of our conference. I highly recommend using this venue and would choose to use it again!
Louis & Janel, Married May 16th 2015
"Tiffany was fantastic with everything for us on our wedding day. She steered us in the direction of our DJ and photographer whom we enjoyed working with immensely!! She was always quick to respond to any questions we had, and when we would ask about things that were already discussed, she was quite patient and professional to ensure we had everything we needed. Her and the staff at Metropolis went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect!"
Meta, Married July 2013
We had both our wedding and reception at Metropolis Resort. Ms. Thompson, the event coordinator, is amazing! She made everything so easy for us, going over every detail. The Skybox room at Metropolis was perfect for our guests, both in size and atmosphere. We chose Metropolis Resort because we wanted a "one-stop shop"...ceremony, reception, and hotel in one location. It worked great because our guests did not have to drive anywhere and were able to go right from the ceremony to cocktail hour. The staff at Metropolis was so helpful and friendly - we are so glad we had our wedding and reception there! Also: the Dolce Milano honeymoon suite is AMAZING!"
Stephanie, Married June 2011
Had my wedding there last June & it was amazing! The whole staff is wonderful!!
Susan, Married December 2011
My now-husband and I decided on Metropolis Resort for our Dec. 29, 2011 wedding and we couldn't have made a better choice. From day one, all of the staff were incredibly helpful. Every question we had was answered in timely and concise manner. They were flexible in our requests and did everything possible to make our day run smoothly. Our reception was transformed into a winter wonderland and was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious and the banquet staff were fantastic. We had everything we ever could have needed and we didn't have to worry about a thing. I HIGHLY recommend Metropolis Resort for your upcoming wedding...you won't regret it.

I don't look anything like the guy in the photo above, but if his musical accompaniment is inspired by the gorgeous Ava Gardner, then let this image represent the blogger and his muse! I've been taking a break from this place lately, but am finally working up a head of steam again. I haven't even touched a Golden Age movie DVD or flipped on Turner Classic Movies except once (to watch The Parallax View), and I have been pursuing other interests. But I've started work on that Thin Man overview I mentioned before as well as some Katharine Hepburn ideas. Thanks for sticking around and not getting disgusted with my lack of postings here lately.

Garlic and Gruyere Cheese Souffles With Morel and Chanterelle
Recipe by Rinshinomori
This recipe is from my time as a chef assistant at a cooking school while assisting Nell Newman's class (Paul Newman's daughter). I loved all her recipes she shared with us including stories about her Dad. Although arugula salad offers a textural and taste contrast with rich souffle, you can skip arugula salad if you prefer. If you cannot find morel or chanterelle mushrooms, use any combination of mushrooms. Green Garlic can be found in farmer's market and also you can grow them. If not available, please substitute scallions, chopped and 4 - 5 garlic cloves, minced to make 1 1/2 cups required for the recipe.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 cup gruyere cheese
- 5 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 1 1⁄2 cups green garlic, white and light green parts, chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 3⁄4 cup water
- 4 eggs, large, separated
- 5 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- 1⁄4 teaspoon parsley, chopped
- 2 cups chanterelle mushrooms, and
- morel, brushed clean
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups arugula
Directions See How It's Made
- Melt 1 T butter and green garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice and water in a saucepan. Cook at a simmer for about 10 minutes, covered. Raise heat and cook additional 5 minutes until liquid has evaporated. Add milk and puree in blender for 1 minute.
- Preheat oven to 425 F or 218 C degrees.
- Melt 4 T butter over low heat and add flour to make a roux. Add thyme, parsley, and slowly add garlic puree from step 1. Stir until thick and smooth.
- Add Gruyere cheese and 2 T Parmesan. Let it cool.
- Lightly butter 6 (4 oz) ramekins and dust with remaining Parmesan cheese. Beat egg whites to soft peaks and fold half into garlic mixture until barely combined. Fold in the other half and spoon into ramekins.
- Bake 10 to 15 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. Serve with warm mushrooms over lightly dressed baby arugula.
- For Mushrooms:.
- Heat 4 T olive oil in pan large enough to hold all mushrooms in one layer and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Shake pan and stir. Salt and pepper to taste.
- For Arugula:.
- Dress arugula with 6 T olive oil, 2 tsp balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Plate with mushrooms and souffles.

Make your life a little easier!
I am NOT lazy, but I am a thinker! (Thanks, Glen Beck.)
I know there are members out there that start fires with sticks and can field strip their 1911s with just a spent cartridge.
Well get over it, or just stop reading this thread!
I plan on using this to share with my more enlightened brothers/sisters the items I personally own.
I will comment on my acquisitions with pro & con views, based on my personal experiences.
I encourage your comments as to your experience/thoughts on each item.
In addition please post any of your 'tools & toys" that make firearm ownership a little more enjoyable. (or miserable)
I will conclude each review with one of these three ratings/recommendations;
1. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v.../icons/Tup.gif Buy it!
2. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...cons/Tdown.gif Run away from it!
3. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...cons/blink.gif Meh
Lets see what the 'ole canester has first:
The first review:
The Maglula UPLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader
This military quality, polymer loader is advertised as capable of loading (with no adjustments, inserts or spacers) 9mm Luger through .45 ACP, single and double stack magazines in 1/3 the time of conventional loading.
I have owned this for nearly a year and can only comment on it's efficacy in use on 1911 7 & 8 round mags and Glock .40 SW 10 & 15 round double stacks.
It does work http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...ons/hand10.gif, and I have eliminated the dreaded 'range thumb' anomaly completely!
No more sore fingers from those extended range visits and much faster reloads!
Check out this video. With little practice even I can now 'speed load'!
I started this thread because of this Midway on-sale email.
MidwayUSA - Maglula UPLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader
If you do not have a mag loader, this would be a great addition to your arsenal!
Canebrake rating: http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v.../icons/Tup.gif Buy it! Especially if it's on SALE!
I think it's a little pricey, but well built, and should last you a life time.
It's a canebrake range bag regular (RBR)!
Why waste your money on that thing go get laid and have kids. Then you have someone to load the mags for you. LOL......
Been there, done that and got the orthodontist bills, college tuition bills and first-house down payment scars T-shirt.
After 42 years of marriage, all my mag loaders have mags of their own and workin' on getting them loaded!
This "Make your life a little easier" thingie will make much more sense to you once you start shaving! http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...cons/ROFLx.gif
canebrake posted:
Oh...........I'm sorry........... I forgot that all you have to work with are crusty old Colts.........ooooopsies...........
Quick question. Why is the logo rainbow colored. Is there a hidden message maybe????
Seriously though, thanks for the review. I'll look into one of those mag loader, helper, universal thingies.
[QUOTE=canebrake;67995]The first review:
The Maglula UPLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader
Very cool Cane. Thanks for the headsup.
The other one came from Jeff Gordon's pit crew or Jesse's http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...p_frame_01.jpg
Ok so makin kids is out why not go and buy a few from some third world crap hole. Like Bradglina do Then you can keep them in yoru basement and feed them cardboard.

PATRICK Moote's penis is so small, his girlfriend turned down his marriage proposal. Patrick Moote's penis is so small, he traveled around the world looking for enlargement solutions. Patrick Moote's penis is so small, he made a movie about it.
In the new documentary, UnHung Hero, which is available on Showtime now and on DVD December 10, comedian Patrick Moote searches for a way to deal with his less-than-large member.
It all began when Moote's girlfriend rejected his marriage proposal on a Jumbotron at a UCLA basketball game, the New York Post reported.
Video of the fail went viral, and Moote's girlfriend told him that one reason she couldn't marry him was that his manhood just didn't pack enough punch. In UnHung Hero, Moote sets out to change that, and answer the question, "Does size matter?" We asked him all about it.
The New York Post: Why did you decide to pursue this?
Patrick Moote: I've always gone after things I'm insecure about head on. The first people I go to are my friends. And I think it was a good distraction from what had happened to me. Also, the proposal video got so many hits, it was hard not to look at it as some sort of an asset. Maybe I can turn this thing that was so brutal into something that could be positive. Why I did it? I still don't know, but those are some of the reasons that help me sleep at night.
NYP: Why are you not humiliated by telling the world you have a small penis?
Moote: I mean, when we started the film, the point I wanted to prove was not only does size not matter, but also that I don't have a particularly small penis. I think that we really saw an opportunity to answer a question that I think was bothering a lot of guys and I think it was really bothering me. I've been in LA for a little over a decade now, and I've been working in the entertainment industry, so my life is rejection and humiliation. Even when I was telling people about it, I never felt like I was embarrassing myself that much. It was almost like doing a service for men in general.
NYP: Why don't you give a specific measurement for how small you are?
Moote: When you're measuring an erection, there's an average for it, but there's no set number. If you put on 10 pounds it's gonna take off a centimeter. If you're not having a particularly good day with circulation, it's going to affect it. If you're feeling stressed out or your heat doesn't work in your apartment, it's going to affect how large it is. But the doctor who measured me, flaccid, she basically grabbed it by the tip and yanked on it and "low normal" is what she said. But like Dan Savage says in the movie, half of everyone is.
NYP: So now do you still feel like you have a small penis?
Moote: Yeah, I do. I don't feel like I have a really small penis, I just know it's not a particularly impressive or special penis. But it's my penis, I love it and it's great. We hang out all the time. But I'm still insecure about it. This wasn't a magic cure-all for me. It's not like I'm walking into parties and dropping trou.
NYP: Do friends give you a lot of crap for this?
Moote: I catch a lot of it, but it's funny, when people do that, because I've owned it the way that I have, it's like they're stealing my material. "Oh, yeah, good one! I just declared that basically on a national level and you're going to make this joke in front of a couple of buddies while we're playing video games. Real funny."
NYP: What was the strangest method of attempting to add penis length that you encountered while making the film?
Moote: In Thailand, we went to a guy named Master Chu's studio to witness and participate in a form of martial arts where one of the techniques they use is hanging weights from their penis. On the outside it seems very strange, but it made a lot of sense. They've been doing it for like a thousand years, and I'm not going to lie, when they untied the rope and weight and released it from my situation, it felt amazing.
NYP: Why did you ultimately not show your penis in the film?
Moote: Because it's my nightmare to have it on camera.
Moote: It's interesting because the times that I have been on dates and the penis has come up, I think I've set the bar so low, girls are just surprised I even have a penis. A girl I had been on a couple of dates with before, it came out and she said, "Oh, my God, it's not that small." And I said, "That's not really a compliment." The expectations are so low I can't disappoint.


text: Stephen Pidgeon's Blog Blog: Blog On the Elect One Posted by Stephen Pidgeon on Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 12:00 AM There is yet another a passage found in the Eth CEPHER that is different from every other English translation. Let's take a look: Luqas (Luke) 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my yachiyd, the Elect One: hear him. Let's compare: Wycliffe Bible (WYC): And a voice was made out of the cloud, and said [saying], This is my dear-worthy Son, hear ye him. American Standard Version (ASV): And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is [a]my Son, my chosen: hear ye him. Amplified Bible (AMP): Then [a]a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, My Chosen One; listen and obey and yield to Him!" Complete Jewish Bible (CJB): and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to him!" English Standard Version (ESV): And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One;[a] listen to him!" 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV): And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloved Son, hear him. Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV): And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. New American Standard Bible (NASB): Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!" New International Version (NIV): A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." New King James Version (NKJV): And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son.[a] Hear Him!" So we see that the NIV, the NASB, the ESV, the CJB, the AMP, and the ASV use the term chosen in their interpretation. The NKJV, the AKJV, the GNV and the Wycliffe do not. We also see that the NIV, the NASB, the ESV, the CJB, the AMP, and the ASV do not use the term beloved, but the NKJV, the AKJV, the GNV do. The Wycliffe uses the term dear worthy. There are two words at issue here, in the Greek. The first one is this word εκλελεγμενος (eklelegmenos). The translations referenced above use the word chosen to interpret this term, but the better interpretation is the elect one. The second word is this word αγαπητος (agapétos), meaning the beloved. We see this term used in the NKJV, the AKJV and the GNV. As we have discussed before, we use the term yachiyd here, as that term in the Hebrew would be identical to this term agapétos here. Take a look at the original Greek: Luqas (Luke) 9:35 Kαι φωνη εγενετο εκ της νεφελης λεγουσα ουτος εστιν ο υιος μου ο εκλελεγμενος αγαπητος αυτου ακουετε [και (and) φωνη (saying) εγενετο (coming) εκ (from) της (the) νεφελης (clouds) λεγουσα (saying) ουτος (this) εστιν (is) ο (the) υιος (son) μου (my) ο (the) εκλελεγμενος (elect one) αγαπητος (beloved) αυτου (him) ακουετε (hear). The Elect One is a most significant term and it is found fourteen times in the Cepher Chanok. If the cepher was indeed known to the apostles of HAMASHIACH, with its abundant descriptions of the Elect One who should "sit upon the throne of glory" and the Elect One who should "dwell in the midst of them," then great Scriptural authenticity is accorded to the Cepher Chanok when the "voice out of the cloud" tells the apostles: This is my yachiyd, the Elect One - the one promised in the Cepher Chanok. Here are passages from Chanok (Enoch): 40:3-5Then I heard the voices of those upon the four sides magnifying YAHUAH of glory. 4 The first voice blessed YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH forever and ever. 5 The second voice I heard blessing the Elect One, and the elect who suffer on account of YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH. 45:3In that day shall the Elect One sit upon a throne of glory; and shall choose their conditions and countless habitations, while their ruachot within them shall be strengthened, when they behold my Elect One, for those who have fled for protection to my holy and glorious name. 49:2-4But iniquity passes away like a shadow, and possesses not a fixed station: for the Elect One stands before YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH; and his glory is forever and ever; and his power from generation to generation. 3 With him dwells the RUACH of Intellectual Wisdom, the RUACH of Instruction and of Power, and the ruach of those who sleep in righteousness; he shall judge secret things. 4 Nor shall any be able to utter a single word before him; for the Elect One is in the presence of YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH, according to his own pleasure. 51:2-5He shall select the righteous and holy from among them; for the day of their yeshu`ah has approached. 3 And in those days shall the Elect One sit upon his throne, while every secret of intellectual wisdom shall proceed from his mouth, for YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH has gifted and glorified him. 4 In those days the mountains shall skip like rams, and the hills shall leap like young sheep satiated with milk (Tehilliym (Psalms) 114:6); and all shall become like angels in heaven. 5 Their countenance shall be bright with joy; for in those days shall the Elect One be exalted. The earth shall rejoice; the righteous shall inhabit it, and the elect possess it. Subscribe Subscribe via RSS Get Stephen's posts in your inbox.

1958 Topps Hank Aaron #30 PSA 6.5 NRMT+++ Undergraded. Flawless 50/50 Centering
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Sports
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Apr 25, 2016
- Channel: Auction House
I have had this Hank Aaron card for a long time. I am obsessed with centering and this is as good as it gets. 50/50 left right and 50/50 top bottom. It also seems a full point under graded. I have looked at it plenty with a 40x loupe and can't figure out why it didn't get a 7.5 as I have many 7.5's that look exactly like this. This is a steal. No reserve, $1 start. Also you'll probably get it for considerably less than if an "official" eBay card seller like PWCC sold the exact same card. I love these sellers but I never understand why graded cards go for significantly more from these sellers. I can understand ungraded cards......anyway I am getting off topic.

While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Plymouth vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles currently being driven today. Make no mistake, you bought your Belvedere because you understood you would be getting efficiency and fun both impeccably combined into one automobile. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the good looks built into each Plymouth, and know that only the best repair Belvedere parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
A lack of proper lubrication for your internal engine components can result in intense friction and heat and lead to total engine failure. The moments where your engine's main caps meet the crankshaft are where all the friction and heat come from, and that is why your Plymouth Belvedere main bearings are installed there. These main bearings are made from a composite metal called Babbitt (iron, zinc, copper, aluminum, and more), which is just slightly softer than the forged or cast crankshaft and the main caps in your Plymouth Belvedere. When properly lubricated, friction and heat are minimized as the main bearings protect your internals for, hopefully, the life of your car or truck.
When your Plymouth needs the best replacement Main Bearing Set, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy.

Wow thats really good.. see thats what i fear most is people teasing amd being judgmental of me talking to someone 5 years younger than i am. But i think itll be fine over time.. and i noticed the same anout him he's in college and seems to have a bright future ahead of him..
Well, in my group of friends we are all a bunch of ass holes to tease each other over everything lol

Anxiety, fear of failure, self-consciousness: these are not the qualities you imagine when you hear the word "heiress". But in this powerful account, Christina Lewis Halpern applies a journalist's eye to her own struggles following the death of her father, the late entrepreneur Reginald F. Lewis, when she was 12. At the time of his death in 1993, Halpern's father was the richest black man in America, the Jackie Robinson of American business. His best-selling biography, Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun? details his amazing-rags-to-riches journey from the poverty of segregated Baltimore to the board rooms of Wall Street. This essay, a mix of memoir and reportage, is an exploration of Lewis's legacy: a bluntly honest and deeply human account of what it's like to be the sensitive child of a rich and powerful man.
As Halpern follows the past to seek the secrets of her father's success, focusing on his time at Harvard Law School, we learn the story of an American legend, but also the complexities of living with his legacy.
"Christina Lewis Halpern has written a touching, powerful memorial to her extraordinary father, Reginald Lewis, a Harvard Law School legend." (John Jay Osborn, Jr., author of The Paper Chase)
"Christina Lewis Halpern offers a relatable and eye-opening window into her family, racial progress in America and just what success really is." (Baratunde Thurston, author of How to Be Black)

text: For Zynga investors, the stock's performance this year obviously has been disappointing. It appears that this company will be run autocratically by Pincus for the foreseeable future. And, as Rich Greenfield of BTIG has been asking for the past week, why is it that Zynga demoted Schappert on July 2 but made no mention of it publicly, not even during its second-quarter earnings call -- in which Schappert participated -- only to reveal it later? Shouldn't the company have mentioned it earlier? It's decisions like that which leave you scratching your head and wondering what the future of Zynga is going to be. At the time of publication, Jackson had no positions in stocks mentioned.

my best friend is really good friends with this guy who people seem to think he likes me. I don't particularly think that true but he does act super shy around me and he when we do speak he's just trying to argue in a banter-ish way. But i really like his best friend. Now he pretty much never speak to me apart from once or twice because he has a resemblance to a footballer who I think is really attractive, so both times I have spoken to him he has mentioned how people say he looks like this footballer. Even though I said he has a resemblance so he must have figured out I am some what attracted to him he still hasn't attempted to speak to me, so iv pretty much taken that as. I am not his type which is a little annoying but hey you can't make someone like you. The only thing is that I wonder if he's not speaking to me because potentially his friend likes me or do you think that would not matter. Baring in mind these boys are extremely good friends they are actually like brothers
The guy I like and his best friend?
What Guys Said 1
I would think from what you said that maybe that maybe the guy is attracted to you but feels a little shy and maybe scare of rejection if he does put him self out on a limb. Why not ask to meet up? Get a drink or coffee and see if it goes somewhere if you genuinely like him. Life is too short, ask questions and stop playing it safe is my motto!
Good luck!00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
Yeah, when it comes to other guys talking to me my boyfriend hates it. One time my friend came up to me and my boyfriend and my boyfriend did a punching motion to make him go away. I laughed.
So yes. When a guy likes a girl they tell the other guys to back off claiming your his crush00|00|0

In part 5, we remembered our concert at Mark and Beverly's home. What fond memories we have!! Thank you, Ms Rosebrooks! Hope to meet you in person one day — and see your painting!

These questions come up pretty much daily, but as I read them I'm somewhat confused what exactly the term means. Technically, you can see some opinions of a specific person on specific subjects and a fragment of how they represent their ideas, and possibly a picture next to it - but that's that. You don't really know them. So what is this "crush" thing about?
Most Helpful Girl
Developing an attraction based on the image you create of them. For instance, I don't know much about you but we have spoken a lot and I will subconsciously fill in any 'blanks' about your personality and create a 'virtual' you. The more I find out about you will determine whether that crush increases or decreases in intensity. If you continue to reveal things about yourself which fit in with my already pre-conceived ideas about you then the attraction will grow, if you begin to dispel some of those ideas and show your true nature and it isn't in line with the half imagined man then the attraction will decrease and eventually disappear. Of course this is from the perspective of someone having a crush on a personality and not just looks, if we're talking about looks then it will be a simple case of finding the person physically attractive, but I don't need to explain that to you my friend.10|10|0
Thanks for the MH!

It's a joke, obviously, since we have no idea if we're even talking about someone's true gender..11|00|0
It seems pretty awkward to register on a website like this with a gender that does not represent your own, no? I'd expect that up to level 5, but not past that.
Who the heck knows?
Well I just treat them whatever gender they claim to be :D
Technically I don't think I really make a difference between genders over the internet, though.
