Reviews for Autumn Sausage Casserole
Average Rating
"I took others' advice and did half the brown sugar. Since I only had dried parsley, I did the conversion, which would've made it about 5 tsp. That seemed like a lot so I only did 3 tsp. I also lowered the amount of onion (personal preference). I used craisins instead of raisins. I only used 2.5 C of rice (all I had left). I don't normally change a recipe so much but these seemed like minor changes in the overall grand scheme. We LOVED this. "Autumn Sausage casserole" is a very apt name. We thought it was a tad dry, but not overly dry. Not sure how to fix the dryness issue, but we're still going to make this again either way!"
"I almost forgot the brown sugar too, Kimb0! I added about half of the brown sugar, and both my husband and I liked it better without it. I think the sweetness of the raisins was enough. (I used a mix of raisins, golden raisins and dried cherries.) We really enjoyed this recipe because it was so different. I served it with the Fresh Tomato Basil Tart also from TOH."
"I forgot the brown sugar and am pretty sure I peppered it twice, but it was still amazing!!! Look forward to making it again!!"
"This was very good and will make it on the table often."
"Five stars! I made this exactly as written and it was excellent! I think I may try adding a little sage next time, but this recipe is a KEEPER!"
"My husband and I loved this dish! I didn't have celery on hand so I substituted bell pepper. I also used pure maple syrup instead of brown sugar. YUM! Will definitely make this again."
"I used brown rice and golden raisins and it worked well."
"Great with the following alterations:Hot SausageCraisins for Raisinscup of apple sauce for the AppleNo parsleyDoubled the rice, onion, and celery"
"This is a family favorite in our house! I usually substitute carrots for the celery and add peppers. I also sometimes will switch out craisins for the raisins. SO yummy. Flavors are very warm and not too sweet."
"Did not enjoy the flavors put together..."
"This is a wonderful dish. Makes your house smell like fall as it cooks."
"So good! I used long grain brown rice and chicken sausage, plus added some sage and maple syrup. A new favorite!"
"So good! Got a thumbs up from picky kids. I could eat the leftovers for breakfast."
"Tbbagehis was so easy and the flavor was wonderbbful. I added some chopped green cabbage . This could also be made vegetarian. Just add more veggies. A new recipe!"
"This recipe is perfect for a cool autumn day. Mmmm...tastes delicious, too. My two children (ages 2 & 4) really liked it too, with all of the apples and raisins in it. It was very easy to prepare and I'm plannning on making it again this week! This would also work great for a side dish, because its so light- not a heavy taste at all."

Delayed, Expensive, and Poorly Planned—D.C. Streetcar Called 'Worse than Nothing'
An article by Emily Washington shares news of the vote by the Washington D.C. City Council to cut future streetcar spending as part of a tax reform package, but the majority of the post is dedicated to explaining the limitations of the forthcoming Streetcar, which will run along the district's H Street corridor.
First, Washington paraphrases earlier coverage of streetcars after noticing that many D.C. Streetcar advocates have been touting the project's economic benefits, rather than it's transportation benefits: "the benefits of streetcar over bus depend heavily on streetcars having dedicated lanes, which most of DC's streetcars wouldn't have."
Then there is the impact of the streetcar infrastructure on other modes: "In Toronto, streetcar tracks are a factor in nearly one-third of serious bicycle accidents."
Washington also raises the question of where the line's potential ridership: "this streetcar will only provide effective transportation for people visiting H Street retail destinations from the adjacent residential neighborhoods. It does not connect residential neighborhoods to job centers."
And then again, the impacts of the streetcar on other modes: "The H Street corridor has the one of the city's busiest bus routes with an average of over 15,000 riders each weekday. Unlike the streetcar, the X1, X2, and X9 buses actually connect residential neighborhood's to job centers and they serve passengers who live farther east in Anacostia. The streetcar will reduce the effectiveness of these valuable routes by adding to delays and reducing frequency as a result."
For more on the tax package approved by the City Council, see an earlier post by David Alpert, which explains the differences between the city council's package and the mayor's: "the change will devote about $400 million for the streetcar over five years. The mayor's proposal dedicates about $800 million over five years, rising to $3 billion over ten years."

Got a question. I have searched the forum for the answer and probably just overlooking it. I have read that to make buckboard bacon crispy when you fry it you need to add butter or oil. Is this true or will it get crispy all by itself?

In a matter of months I've watched my doodle puppy go from super soft fuzz-ball, to wild frizz-ball as her adult hair sets in and as baths, blow-drying quickly take their toll on her sweet puppy fur and skin. In this awkward teenage stage the best I can do is stick a bow in her hair and hope that her winning smile detracts from this perpetual bad hair day, as we wait for the moment to pass.
But the good news is frizzy and dry don't have to be a part of your dogs hair day. With the right essential oils and a little time, your dog's skin and coat will be garnering compliments at your next visit to the dog park.
An increasingly popular ingredient in dog food, treats and grooming products, coconut oil offers a variety of great benefits to your dog inside and out. When applied topically, coconut oil can help with your dog's skin, improving itching, dryness, yeast, redness and even hot spot. Coconut oil can help with cracked noses and dry paws and is also great for coat moisturizing and conditioning. You can also use Isle of Dogs new CocoClean line of shampoos and conditioners, all of which are infused with coconut oil!
Fish oil has so many amazing benefits and is available in many forms. It is a key ingredient to a beautiful, shiny and healthy coat thanks to the hefty dose of healthy fat in the form of DHA, EPA and Omega-3s. It can help dogs with skin allergies as well as dry skin and has even been known to help reduce shedding.
Rich in essential fatty acids, primrose oil has anti-inflammatory qualities; making it great for dogs with allergies, dry skin, dry hair or hair loss. Known for restoring hormone imbalances, it can boost overall coat quality. It can be given orally, but can also be found in our shampoos and conditioners to moisturize your dog's skin and coat during bath time.
Like fish oil, flaxseed oils filled with essential fatty acids, specifically omega-3, which can help with skin and coat dryness. It is most effective when fed in oil form as dogs will likely not digest the actual seeds.
If you are adding oils that are taken orally to your dog's life for the first time, make sure to check with your vet for the appropriate quantities and products and like with any new food, introduce it to your dog slowly.

700 arrested after protest on NY's Brooklyn Bridge
Published: Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 2, 2011 at 10:31 a.m.
NEW YORK — Protesters speaking out against corporate greed and other grievances were maintaining a presence in Manhattan's Financial District even after more than 700 of them were arrested during a march on the Brooklyn Bridge in a tense confrontation with police.
The group Occupy Wall Street has been camped out in a plaza in Manhattan's Financial District for nearly two weeks staging various marches, and had orchestrated an impromptu trek across the nearby bridge over the East River to Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. They walked in thick rows on the sidewalk up to the bridge, where some demonstrators marched onto the roadway after being told to stay on an elevated pedestrian pathway that runs along the center of the bridge, police said.
The march shut down a lane of traffic for several hours on Saturday. The majority of those arrested were given citations for disorderly conduct and were released, police said.
The group had meetings and forums planned for Sunday at a local park they have occupied.
During Saturday's march on the Brooklyn Bridge, some protesters sat on the roadway, chanting "Let us go," while others chanted and yelled at police from the pedestrian walkaway above. Police used orange netting to stop the group from going farther down the bridge, which is under construction.
Some of the protesters said they were lured onto the roadway by police, or they didn't hear the calls from authorities to head to the pedestrian walkway. Police said no one was tricked into being arrested, and those in the back of the group who couldn't hear were allowed to leave.
"Multiple warnings by police were given to protesters to stay on the pedestrian walkway and that if they took roadway they would be arrested," said Paul Browne, the chief spokesman of the New York Police Department.

(CBS/AP) ATLANTA - Chris Kelly, known for being part of the 90's rap duo Kris Kross, was found dead on Wednesday at his home in southwest Atlanta, according to CBS affiliate WGCL.
The Fulton County Police Department said based on the evidence found at the scene and witnesses accounts, it appears Kelly died of a drug overdose. Medical examiners will perform an autopsy Thursday to determine the cause of death, WGCL reports.
Kelly, who was 34, jumped to fame with his singing partner Chris Smith "Daddy Mac" in the 90's when they were both teenagers. They became popular for wearing their pants backwards and won fans with their raps.
Earlier this year, the duo performed together to celebrate the anniversary of the Jermaine Dupri's label, So So Def. Dupri was the producer who initially discovered them at an Atlanta Mall.

Under 220 seats
Should the NDA get less than 220 seats, markets could react by at least 10 per cent on the day of the results. Fears that support from a strong personality like Jayalalitha from the AIADMK would be imminent could send shivers down the spine of investors.
220-250 seats
Should the NDA get between 220 and 240 seats expect the markets to remain steady at the current levels since the Sensex has rallied almost 1500 points in three days.
250-280 seats
If the NDA manages to get between 250 and 280 seats markets are likely to rally further and the Nifty should easily head to the 7500 levels in the next one week following the results.
280 seats and above
The current euphoria is likely to continue and one cannot rule out 8000 points on the Nifty and 26,500 points on the Sensex in a couple of weeks following the election results.

There is an extensive interview with Peter Lanza, the father of Sandy Hook mass murderer Adam Lanza in The New Yorker, and I have no idea why I read it. I have an obligation for my job to read things like this, to cull what I think is important from these things so I can relay that in my articles on Mommyish, to have a strong point of view on articles like these so I can form my own opinions and we can discuss them together. But after reading this extensive interview, I'm left with nothing, except a remembrance of how ungodly tragic the events of December 14, 2012 were that day in Newton, Connecticut. Peter Lanza offers us no solutions or answers as to why Adam took a Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle and killed six school workers and twenty children on that horrible day.
The article, which is 7,600 words, marks the first time Peter Lanza has spoken to the press. He doesn't offer any new insight to this son, who he describes as a "weird little kid" who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome after he was taken to numerous psychologists. He was prescribed the anti-anxiety drug escitalopram but stopped taking it after he had severe reactions. His father feels his son was an undiagnosed psychopath or schizophrenic. From the New Yorker:
Interview subjects usually have a story they want to tell, but Peter Lanza came to these conversations as much to ask questions as to answer them. It's strange to live in a state of sustained incomprehension about what has become the most important fact about you. "I want people to be afraid of the fact that this could happen to them," he said. It took six months after the shootings for a sense of reality to settle on Peter. "But it's real," he said. "It doesn't have to be understood to be real."
We get a sense of who Adam Lanza was from the article. He hated tags on his clothing and his parents had to remove them. He underwent speech therapy because he was a late talker. He enjoyed playing with Legos with his father. When he was older he wrote violent stories.
All things that many, many parents experience with their own kids.
In the years that followed, they would talk about politics. Adam was a fan of Ron Paul, and liked to argue economic theory. He became fascinated with guns and with the Second World War, and showed an interest in joining the military. But he never talked about mass murder, and he wasn't violent at school. He seldom revealed his emotions, but had a sharp sense of humor. When Peter took him to see Bill Cosby live, Adam laughed for an hour straight. He loved reruns of "The Bob Newhart Show" and "Get Smart," which he would watch with his dad. One Christmas, Adam told his parents that he wanted to use his savings to buy toys for needy children, and Peter took him shopping for them.
Judging from the article, Adam's parents did everything they could for their son, even after they divorced. They took him to numerous therapists, they were both involved in his education, after after he began homeschooling. Peter talks about how he felt more and more alienated from his son, but he assumed most of that was due to normal adolescence, because he felt stranger from his own parents growing up. I think every teenager goes through a period where they don't really like spending time with their parents. I know I did.
"Those mental health professionals who saw him did not see anything that would have predicted his future behavior." Peter said, "Here we are near New York, one of the best locations for mental-health care, and nobody saw this." They engaged and indulged his interests, his mother taking him to shooting ranges because he had an interest in guns and the military. These parents were involved in their son's life, even though Peter had not seen his son for two years prior to the shooting.
There are no answers for why Adam did what he did. There are no answers as to why 26 people died that day, 28 if you include Adam and his mother Nancy. Peter claims his son would have killed him too if he had the chance. There are no answers in this article, we only bear witness to a father and his unspeakable grief over what his son did on that day in December. We are only left with this sentiment he expresses.:
Peter declared that he wished Adam had never been born, that there could be no remembering who he was outside of who he became. "That didn't come right away. That's not a natural thing, when you're thinking about your kid. But, God, there's no question. There can only be one conclusion, when you finally get there. That's fairly recent, too, but that's totally where I am."
I think it's safe to say that most of us feel that way too.

The Moen 14960 is a hexagonal diverter piece. The diverter comes as part of a hardware kit for most Moen sprayers that attach to the sink. Diverters can be ordered as a separate part, or as one part of an entire hardware replacement kit. Order your Moen 14960 by first writing down the model number of the sprayer and calling Moen customer service. The 14960 is a universal part, but it may be just as cheap to buy the entire replacement kit.
Things You'll Need
- Screwdriver
- Wrench
- Pliers
- Replacement Moen 14960
Turn off the water to the sink by shutting off the house water mains, or by shutting off the water supply to the sink by turning the water valve.
Remove the nut or screw that holds the sprayer in place on the faucet and lift up on it.
Remove the nut under the sink that connects the hardware kit to the sprayer or soap dispenser, and lift it out of the sink assembly.
Unscrew the top two pieces of the hardware assembly and remove the washer, using a pair of pliers, to expose the Moen 14960.
Unscrew the 14960 with a wrench or pair of pliers and replace it with a new diverter. Reassemble the sprayer.

Join George Maestri for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the new Panel toolbar, part of Maya 2009 New Features.
We are going to start off by taking a look at some of the new interface features in Maya 2009. First, we are going to look at something called the panel yoolbar. But before we do that let's go ahead and make sure we have our projects all set. We do have the Exercise Files on the Desktop and so let's go ahead and set our project to Desktop/Exercise Files/Chap _01 and then the file I have opened is called Head.mb. Now, the first thing I want to show you is called the Panel Toolbar; and you can see it right here. When you open a window you will see this additional row of icons along a viewport. In fact, these are along every viewport; you can see them here. So I am just going to enlarge this Perspective viewport here and let's just go through some of these.
Now, what these do is they basically duplicate some of the more popular options that we have here in the menus. Now, a lot of times it's difficult to pull down the menu and then find your options, so a lot of the more common ones have been kind of shortcutted here. So we have, for example, Select camera, which will select the active camera, in this case the Perspective camera. Will allow you to go into Camera Attribute editor, very quickly. We can also do Scene Bookmarks. We can turn on or off an Image Plane. So if I click this little S for the Image Plane image. You can turn on and off the Grid, which I find very handy.
We can also do Film Gate, Resolution Gate. Turn those off. We can also do whether or not you have a Gate mask or not. So in another words, is this gray outside of the area where the object shows? So it's a really good handy visual device to know whether or not your object is actually going to be in the final render. You can also turn on a Field grid. We also have Safe Action and Safe Title. Then we also have some display modes here. We have Wireframe, Shaded, Shaded with Wireframe. You can also turn on and off Texturing; so this is essentially the same as hardware texturing here. So you can just flip that on and off, which is really nice.
You can also do Use All Lights. So you can turn on and off the default light in the scene or the actual lights in the scene. You can turn Shadows on and off, as well as High quality or Low quality, or Faster quality rendering. We also have what's called Isolate Select. So for example, if you have selected the eye here in this particular character, you can just isolate that very, very quickly. This is great for modeling, if you want to just get into something very quickly. We also have our X-Ray modes. You can turn-on X-Ray; X-Ray just the active components. So for example, if I have the head selected I can just X-Ray just the head and leave everything else unX- Rayed and you can also do X-Ray Joints.
So all of these are available with just a simple click and I find this very, very handy, because it's a lot faster than pulling down menus.

Lithium-ion batteries make possible smaller and lighter electronics. Unfortunately, they are also costly to produce. In a conventional lithium-ion battery, many thin layers create the finished product much like filo dough in baklava. A startup company called 24M thinks they have the answer to making less expensive lithium-ion batteries: a semisolid electrode made by mixing powders and liquid to form an electrolyte goo.
Not only will the batteries be cheaper and faster to create, but the cost of the factory will be less. Currently, 24M has a pilot manufacturing line, but by 2020 they expect to scale to produce batteries that cost less than $100 per kilowatt hour (today's costs are about $200 to $250 for conventional batteries). Under $100, the batteries become competitive with the cost of internal combustion engines, according to the article.

Celebrating The Wednesday Sisters out in paperback.
Edited to add: The winner of The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton is Nan from Nan's Corner of the Web! Congratulations, Nan!
I'm so excited! The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton is being released today (May 5, 2009) in paperback! *lots of cheering and clapping and general excitement*
This was hands down in my top three books of last year. It's even one that I know I'll re-read, which I generally swear is not a good idea.
It has been such a pleasure and a gift to get to know Meg. I got to meet her shortly after I read the book, and really, it was amazing. She has one of my favorite author blogs where she asks authors to guest post about their journey to publishing their first book. She gets some great authors to guest post and I'm always curious who will be up next.
I can't wait to see what book she publishes next!
To celebrate the release of The Wednesday Sisters in paperback, I'm giving away a paperback copy! All you have to do is tell me who your best/closest friend is. If you want an extra entry, you can tweet, facebook, stumble, whatever, just come back and leave a separate comment for each entry. I'm not tallying up entries anymore! Lesson has been learned! Contest will be open until May 15, 2009 at 11:59pm.
I am reposting my original review below. Really, if you haven't read this book, it's a definite must read.
I received The Wednesday Sisters from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers. It's kind of a crap shoot as far what you get, let alone whether you get a book at all. I wasn't expecting too much with this book because I wasn't sure if it was going to be on the chick lit side (chick lit is not my cuppa tea), but if I'd known what an awesome book it would be, I would have dropped everything and picked it up the second it hit my mailbox.
My run-on sentence synopsis: The Wednesday Sisters is about five women who first meet at a local park because four of them have kids so it makes sense why they were at the park and then decide after about a month of meeting on Wednesday mornings that they would start writing together, though some of the ladies were reluctant to write, and it's about their writing and their lives and the ups and downs and the good and bad and anything in between.
When I picked up the book, I felt, not like I was reading, but like I was sitting down with a friend and she was telling me a story. I felt so comfortable and I felt so privileged to be taken into her confidence. But the novel doesn't read like the author was trying to do that…it's so effortless that I wouldn't be surprised if the author had written ten books prior to this one.
Oftentimes when books have too many characters, certain characters get pushed to the wayside to make way for the story of the main character(s). The author is able to tell the story of all five women without me feeling like she's leaving anything out or pushing any characters to the side. I was always satisfied with the amount of information she gave me about each person. Her style in this regard reminds me of John Steinbeck. Meg Waite Clayton tells you stories about each person, allowing those stories to reveal their character.
What was best about this book? The author was able to make me laugh and cry at the exact same time. I found myself laughing and crying every time I picked up the book. I was always crying because I was so touched by the characters and what they were experiencing, and I was laughing as the author pulled the humor out of the situations in a delicate and gentle manner. Their happiness, pain, sadness, hope, were all so raw and apparent that I couldn't help but feel connected to the characters. Even when I saw how a scene was going to play out, the author was still able to make me laugh out loud.
The Wednesday Sisters is not about any crazy shenanigans they get themselves in to. It's about their lives; one battles infertility, one struggles with a cheating husband, one is blunt and outspoken to a fault, none of them are perfect, none of them have perfect lives or perfect husbands. They are real. They are you and me.
If I could be granted a wish, I would like to write like Meg Waite Clayton.
I think I may tell Dave the wedding's off and I want to marry The Wednesday Sisters. 😀

Gennadiy Sergeyevich Prigoda (Russian: Геннадий Серге́евич Пригода; born 2 May 1965) is a former freestyle swimmer from Russia, who competed twice at the Summer Olympics first for the Soviet Union in 1988, and then for the Unified Team in 1992. The sprinter won four Olympic medals: two silver and two bronze. Prigoda trained at Armed Forces sports society in Kuibyshev.[1]
He started swimming in a club aged 7, together with his elder brother, Alexandr Prigoda, who also became a top Russian swimmer.[2] Between 1985 and 1991, he won three medals at the world championships, five medals at the European championships, and ten national titles in freestyle and medley relay events.[1] Gennadi Touretski considers him as his most technically gifted trainees.[3] Prigoda retired from active swimming in 1992. He graduated with a degree in pedagogy from the Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education in Saint Petersburg, and started his own business with a travel company.

I've heard this a lot, people whove been married say they won't get married again.
Why could this be?
Most Helpful Girl
I think it's just like any failed relationship, really.
-Feeling like you wasted time, effort and money on someone
- It's a way to prevent yourself from getting hurt again; a coping mechanism.
For example, let's say that someone decided to take a large step with someone because they loved them. In my case, it was having sex with them.
I thought that we were going to live happily ever after, right? Well, I thought so, until I got pregnant.
And then everything fell apart.
Now I don't really want to go that far with someone. Maybe my feelings will change.
But it's cause of those feelings listing above, along with the overall fear of it happening all over again- a constant dedicating to someone, only to have it fall to shit.

BSB: No. 13 Carolina bounces back for 8-5 Win over LBSU
Posted March 5
Tyler Lynn's two-run triple in the fifth proved to be the decisive hit as No. 13 North Carolina grabbed an 8-5 win over Long Beach State in the series finale Sunday at Boshamer Stadium. LBSU had taken a 3-2 lead in the top of the inning before the Tar Heels scored five times against three Dirtbag relievers to build a lead they would not relinquish. Freshman Ike Freeman had his first two collegiate hits, including a solo homer in the eighth, as Carolina improved to 9-3 on the young season.
UNC jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first thanks to RBI singles from Ashton McGee and Lynn. That advantage stood up until the fifth, when Long Beach (6-5) scratched out three runs against Jason Morgan. Morgan cruised through the first four innings before being victimized by the Dirtbags' trademark small ball in the fifth. A bunt single made it 2-1 before the visitors plated two more on a fielder's choice and an error.
But for the first time all weekend, Carolina immediately responded. After loading the bases with a pair of walks and a hit batter, LBSU reliever John Castro (0-2) got Kyle Datres to ground to first for the second out of the inning. The RBI groundout tied the game, and Long Beach went to lefty Zak Baayoun to face Lynn with two on and two out. The Tar Heel senior responded by lacing a triple into the right field corner to put Carolina in front for good. Freeman's pinch double made it 6-3 before an error gifted UNC another run.
Rodney Hutchison Jr. got his second win of the year in relief, but the story out of the bullpen was Austin Bergner. Bergner entered with the bases loaded and one out in the sixth and escaped the jam with an infield fly and a strikeout. He went three hitless innings before walking a pair in the ninth and handing it over to Josh Hiatt. With the tying run at the plate, Logan Warmoth's strong throw from deep short retired Brock Lundquist to end it.
Warmoth had a double and two runs scored on the day, extending his reached base streak to 27 games. McGee reached three times in his first start as the No. 3 hitter, singling and walking twice as well as scoring twice.
Carolina continues its 17-game homestand Tuesday with a visit from VCU at 3 p.m.

im going to build a zombie deck and i need someone to give me a zombie deck list
I got some free time, so...
Your lucky. I've got some spare time and experience with all forms of zombie decks. Since you didn't tell me much about your budget, tourney type, and what decks you usually play against, I'll give you a couple deck lists. I won't be the guy who tells everyone to deplete their life savings on cards. One list is for massive collectors with huge budgets, one will be practical and cheap, and I'll give you a few variants to point you in the right direction. Feel free to combine the decks, but post the deck on the forum just so I can make any suggestions or edits. You can always replace Plaguespreader Zombie and Burial from a Different Dimension with Krebons and Emergency Teleport.If you noticed, some of the deck names are Structure Decks. To make those decks all you need is to buy three of the Structure Decks and a few more cards. That is still cheaper than most decks. So, here are the decks:
2 Dark Armed Dragon
3 Zombie Masters
3 Goblin Zombie
3 Mezuki
1 Spirit Reaper
3 Plaguespreader Zombie
2 Pyramid Turtle
2 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
2 Card of Safe Return
3 Allure of Darkness
3 Burial from a Different Dimension
3 Book of Life
3 Creature Swap
1 Lightning Vortex
1 Monster Reborn
1 Brain Control
2 Phoenix Wing Wind Blast
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Crush Card Virus
3 Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon
3 Paladin of Cursed Dragon
2 Malevolent Mech - Goku En
3 Zombie Master
3 Mezuki
2 Il Blud
3 Marrionette Mite
2 Pyramid Turtle

3 Creature Swap
2 Card of Safe Return

1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Lightning Vortex
1 Heavy Storm
3 Shrink
3 Tutan Mask
3 Compulsory Evacuation Device
1 Torrential Tribute
3 Zombie Master
3 Goblin Zombie
2 Phantom of Chaos
3 Mezuki
1 Spirit Reaper
3 Plaugespreader Zombie

2 Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress
3 Ryko, Lightsworn Beast
1 Sangan
3 Book of Life
2 Card of Safe Return
2 Burial from the Different Dimension
3 Charge of the Light Brigade
1 Monster Reborn
2 Foolish Burial
2 Solar Recharge
1 Phoenix Wing Wind Blast
1 Torrential Tribute
2 Sky Scourge Norealas
3 Mezuki
3 Despair from the Dark
3 Zombie Master
2 Phantom of Chaos
3 Armageddon Knight
2 Broww, Huntsman of Dark World
2 Sillva, Warlord of Dark World
1 Card Destruction
2 Foolish Burial
3 Book of Life
3 Allure of Darkness
2 Trade-In
1 Monster Reborn
2 Dark Illusion

1 Torrential Tribute
Wow, I did alot of typing. I wouldn't stray from the lists to far, but feel free to personalize it. Feedback would be nice... and you're welcome. Blue-Eyes White Boy 22:08, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
well i want something strong and CHEAPPPPPP!!! i cant find all these cards :( i have mezuki and now im searching for people who trade some.
You can't buy the structure decks? Spend $30 on three 'Zombie World Structure Deck' and you'll have a pretty good deck. Blue-Eyes White Boy 17:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Have it your way...
Only at Burger King. Ok, since you didn't like my array of $35 decks, I'll make you a $20 deck. You will will have to buy 2 'Structure Deck: Zombie World', though. You will get 90% of the cards you need in those decks. Ok, heres the cheap deck:
3 Zombie Master-SDZW-EN
3 Pyramid Turtle-SDZW-EN
2 Mezuki-PP02-EN
1 Il Blud-CSOC-ENSE
2 Marionette Mite-SDZW-EN
2 Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon-SDZW-EN
2 Paladin of Curse Dragon-SDZW-EN
2 Malevolent Mech - Goku En-SDZW-EN
1 Spirit Reaper-SDZW-EN
1 Snipe Hunter-CDIP-EN
1 Sangan-SDJ
2 Zombie World-SDZW-EN
2 Card of Safe Return-SDZW-EN
2 Book of Life-SDZW-EN
1 Call of the Mummy-SDZW-EN
3 Terraforming-SDZW-EN
1 Lightning Vortex
1 Heavy Storm
1 Brain Control
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
3 Trap of the Imperial Tomb-CSOC-EN
2 Tutan Mask-SDZW-EN
1 Torrential Tribute-SD2-EN
This is a powerful, cheap deck. If you want a different style, tell me. Blue-Eyes White Boy 20:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- Tutan Mask is a SDZW common, not a CSOC card. You might wanna fix that. --Darth Covah 21:35, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry. fixed it now. Blue-Eyes White Boy 21:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

When Opening Day in Anaheim rolls around, odds are good the Angels will have an all-homegrown infield.
We're not just talking about going around the horn. It includes the starting pitcher and whichever catcher Manager Mike Scioscia decides to trot out, Jeff Mathis or Mike Napoli. In fact, if things go well against the Minnesota Twins, Scott Shields and Kevin Jepsen, both homegrown, might be the only other guys who pitch.
That's eight of the 12 Angels players in a game, products of the farm. It's almost quaint.
It reminds some people of an earlier era and a not-too-distant locale.
"I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and it makes me think of [Steve] Garvey, [Davey] Lopes, [Ron] Cey and [Bill] Russell," Angels farm director Abe Flores said. "They ran that infield out for a long time, through the playoffs and the World Series. Now, a whole generation of kids is growing up with these Angels."
That's true, but will their younger brothers and sisters? If recent evaluations are to be believed, the Angels' talent pipeline is starting to clog. This week, ESPN.com baseball analyst Keith Law, a former major league front-office executive, ranked the Angels' farm system No. 22 from among baseball's 30 teams. Baseball America ranked them 25th.
A year ago, Law had them ranked three spots lower.
Don't think the Angels' development people haven't noticed the diminishing respect their players are receiving.
"Absolutely, our players should see it as a slap in the face. People think we're in the bottom third of the league," Flores said. "We think that's people from the outside talking. Now, we have to go out on the field and change it."
It hasn't always been this way. From 2003 to '07, Baseball America ranked the Angels no worse than fifth.
It's not as though the emphasis has changed. Scioscia was an All-Star catcher in that Dodgers' infield that Flores remembers, so he knows how crucial a strong farm system is. Tony Reagins had Flores' job before he became general manager, so he gets it. Angels owner Arte Moreno still talks about the team's farm system. He still likes saving bushels of money by harvesting homegrown talent.
So, what gives? For one thing, the Angels emptied a lot of their talent into the major leagues. That's a good problem.
It takes a while to reload in baseball, particularly for a team that favors drafting high-school players. Many of the team's top prospects remain at the lower rungs of the minor-league ladder.
Infielder Mike Trout is 18, catcher Hank Conger turns 22 this week and pitcher Trevor Reckling is 20 and could open next season at Triple-A. Those three are probably the Angels' most talented young players.
Another thing changed: Reagins moved into the office formerly occupied by Bill Stoneman, who parted with prospects as easily as Ebenezer Scrooge doled out charity.
Reagins has proven slightly more willing to part with prospects to plug a hole. He shipped three prospects, Alex Torres, Matt Sweeney and Sean Rodriguez, to Tampa Bay for pitcher Scott Kazmir in August.
So, should Angels fans be worried? Yeah, probably.
The rest of the division Is making things uncomfortable at every level. The Oakland Athletics have always invested their scant resources in development. Playing in their dump of a stadium with a payroll south of $50 million, what choice do they have if they don't want to become like the Kansas City Royals?
Now, the Texas Rangers suddenly are the darlings of the scouting world. Texas has had the No. 1 system in baseball two years running, according to Law. The Angels probably wouldn't argue. They had to face Neftali Feliz's 98-mph fastball. They've heard rumblings about switch-hitting slugger Justin Smoak.
The Angels also have a good idea how talented Oakland's young pitching is. Scioscia called it the best group of young arms in the league.
Apparently, the rest of the AL West didn't enjoy the latter half of the previous decade, when they couldn't outspend or out-develop the Angels.
Now, we get to see whether any of this means something in the standings come September.
"It has to translate to the major-league level or otherwise it doesn't mean anything," Flores said.
Even if the gap does disappear this summer, shouldn't the Angels get a little credit for Kendry Morales, Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar and Brandon Wood? Who knows, maybe one day that will have the ring of Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey.

But Sakhrani has a rosier view of Visa's prospects. After meeting with Jack Carsky, Visa's head of investor relations, the analyst in a note on Wednesday wrote "We came away believing investors should use the recent relative weakness in V shares as a buying opportunity." "There is no doubt that if dual badging is allowed for signature debit, this would lead to a diminution of Visa's premium real estate on the majority of debit cards in the market; however, there is no certainty that a similar phenomenon would be seen in terms of volumes," Sakhrani added, citing the difficulty and costliness for merchants to "make dual badging on signature possible." After all, if Judge Leon's decision on non-exclusivity holds, it's perfectly reasonable to expect some merchants to elect not to make the systems enhancements needed to allow them network choice for every single transaction. Sakhrani backed up his view by pointing out that "the current plastic cards do not support having two card accounts on the magnetic stripe that is swiped at point of sale terminals. Given the lengthy timeline for implementation due to current technological challenges, it begs the question as to why it wouldn't make more sense to look towards the EMV conversion as being a means of compliance given chip technology is able to support dual signature bugs on one card." In other words, merchants, banks and even customers would have quite a bit of legwork to do, before Visa were to see a major threat to its debit card processing market share from Judge Leon's ruling. Sakhrani reiterated is "outperform" rating for Visa. KBW's price target for the shares is $217, implying 22% upside for the shares over the next 12 months. He estimates Visa will earn $7.61 a share during fiscal 2013, which ends on Sept. 30, with EPS rising to $8.88 in fiscal 2014. Shares of Visa were down 2% in early trading Thursday to $174.99, while MasterCard was also down 2%, to $618.75. V data by YCharts

Mobile Learning
Five iOS Apps that can be used for K-12 Learning
What is it? It's an app for any device that is used to help students create micro lessons on any subject they are learning and then download them as study guides, quizzes, or flashcards. All on your mobile device too! It connects social media websites to further intrigue the students, and get them connected.
How can it be used? This app would be great for students from grades 7-12, (Junior High/High School). A teacher can stay on top of what their students are learning by providing study guides for their students to access on the go. It allows educators to see just how much or how little mlearning is taking place. This app is meant for delivering short lessons to review, refresh and reinforce important information. It could be used by teachers to give students access to information so they can prepare for a test at anytime (including on vacations or sick days, when students miss what's being taught in class).
Frog Dissection
What is it? Frog Dissection is a virtual alternative to the regular frog dissection. Using an iPad or any mobile device, students are able to do a virtual dissection of any animal, in the same way they would do a normal dissection in class. The images of the internal organs are 3D so students get a clearer image and more realistic feeling towards the dissection.
How can it be used? This app would be geared towards biology students in high school. I think it's a great app because through my experience some students find real dissections uncomfortable, or they can't handle the smell. This is a great way to get those students still involved! This app is a great way for students to revisit a dissection before an exam because this way they won't have to rely on their memory about the dissection.
What is it? xSpell is a fun and interactive app that allows students to take spelling tests. There are standard curriculum spelling tests incorporated into the system, but a teacher can make their own spelling tests of up to 24 words. The computer says the word and the students type it, if they get it correct they move on, if not they get two attempts than a hint feature becomes available. At the end of the exam it gives a review so students can see what words they got right and wrong, and what words they needed hints.
How can it be used? I think this app would be good for elementary school so Kindergarten to Grade 6. Teachers could send lists home with students of words that could be on their next spelling test and the parents could input the words into the program. This way students can learn on their own time, and don't need a parent or friend to say the words for them. This allows the student to be independent and learn the words on their own. This is great because students can learn words on their mobile devices, which allows them to learn anywhere and at anytime and most importantly at their own pace!
The Math Tree
What is it? The Math Tree is a fun and easy to use app for younger children to learn early arithmetic. It is interactive so children can subtract or add a variety of animals/fruits which makes addition and subtraction more fun for them.
How can it be used? This app would be more aimed towards teachers who are teaching lower grades in elementary school (Kindergarten or Grade One). Math is difficult for many students, so this is a great app to intrigue students and make math more exciting for them. It provides a visual and hands on approach for learning math. So a teacher could build a lesson around addition and/or subtraction using the app.
What is it? Socrative is available on all servers and devices including Kindles! Which makes the education very accessible. This app is for both student and teacher, it allows teachers to engage students in-class, in real time. You can create assessments, poll students and ask them questions all from you teacher desktop!
How can it be used? I think Socrative is more for Junior High to High School students so Grade 7 to Grade 12. One tool from Socrative that would engage students in the classroom would be the Space Race. Teachers upload a quiz and divide the class into teams. Each team has a point person to input their answers, and essentially the more answers they get right the further their rocket ship goes, and the closer they are to winning. I think this is a great tool to get students engaged while learning the content.

Farmland that keeps on giving
A new program will help area farmland owners keep their land in production, under local ownership and benefit local charities well into the future.
West Central Initiative (WCI) recently launched the Heart-Land Giving program. It's a tool that landowners can use for charitable giving and estate planning goals when there's no one to pass their land to; perhaps they don't have children or their children are not interested in farming.
The Heart-Land Giving program allows landowners to donate their land to WCI through a planned giving option.
In return, the donation provides donor tax benefits, keeps the farm locally run and retains a county tax base, all while producing revenue for charitable organizations.
The three giving options for landowners are:
1. Gifting the land to the WCI unrestricted endowment, which supports all the programs that WCI offers in the region.
2. Gifting the land to an existing component fund, a list of which can be found on the West Central Initiative website.
3. Establishing a donor-advised fund and help determine where grants are directed.
The program is available to tillable farmland owners in Douglas, Becker, Clay, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope, Stevens, Traverse and Wilkin counties.
Tom McSperron of WCI noted, "As we have been talking with professional advisors and some individuals who have shown interest in Heart-Land Giving, we have received many positive reactions. We look forward to working with them and we understand that a decision to make a gift of this type will take careful consideration and review by both the donor and their advisors."
Nancy Straw, WCI president, added, "We understand that landowners are deeply and personally connected to their farmland. For those who have charitable intentions, the Heart-Land Giving program offers the opportunity to keep the asset in production and under local ownership. It also allows the donor to leave a legacy to benefit local charities that make the community stronger and a better place to live."
For more information, contact Kim Embretson or Tom McSparron at West Central Initiative at 1-800-735-2239 or visit www.heartlandgiving.wcif.org.

Thu 31st Jan 2013 9:00amConstantinesurf's Harlyn Surf Report
Surf conditions at 7.25 a.m. on Thursday 31st January 2013: It's difficult to tell exactly how big it is today, that high tide surge pushing wedges under the bridge again while those big outside ones are bouncing angrily, the rights hollow against the wind. It must be four to five feet, maybe bigger on the sets, although that could ease off as the tide slips out in a minute. The wind is just a little too far westerly again this morning for it to be called 'good' but it should settle more south westerly as the day goes on and it should ease in strength too, allowing Harlyn to shine a little more. By this afternoon it could be quite good, especially if you know where to go. Yep, this afternoon could just be very okay! It's that time of year when it seems as though almost everyone is thinking of travelling or have already packed their boardies and squeezed onto a long-haul! Cheyne has slipped away to Maroc with Bali Charlie and Matt, the usual contingent are living the Indo dream, Micah is gorging himself on those North Shore barrels, while others are exploring America, Australia and other far-flung lands promising warmer water and clear waves. If you are readying yourself for the airport run, don't forget that we stock all those little things that make a surf trip just that little bit more enjoyable! From sunblock to key safes, leashes to spare fins, board bags to sun hats! And our POP UP weekend SALEs have proved so popular that we are carrying on again THIS WEEKEND! So if you are thinking of heading off to the sun and surf, drop in on us on the way for some bargain travel accessories! But the other side of all that is that the surf breaks have become much quieter too! And with all this swell that we have been enjoying through January along with the (relatively) mild water temperatures kind of make you think that there are worse places to be! With a decent wetsuit (and most of them are really very good these days!), there is no real need to suffer anymore. So if you are feeling the chill, maybe it's time to take advantage of our WEEKEND WETSUIT SALE! 25% OFF all suits! Yep, all of them! We're open 10 till 4 Saturday and Sunday but might have our heads in one of those Surf Travel books, looking for inspiration!

This amazing thing happened when I had gone to my Uncle's house during my summer vacations. I had no idea that I would be having experience of a lifetime there. I was really excited the day I was to leave for my Uncle's house. It had been fairly long time since I visited him and he had always been really nice to me. We were like best friends and he always found one or the other ways to bring smile on my face whenever I felt low. Well, I am Nick, a 21 year old jock who always fantasized about gay sex but belonging to a small town had its limitations and I am not that kinda guy who would hook up with every other guy,i.e I am selective. Working out had been my favorite activity since my high school and thus I was able to tone my body well. Broad pecs and a solid back made me cynosure of many eyes but if I had to mention 2 parts which were attention grabbers are my nips and butts. I always used to wear tight T-shirts to accentuate the look of my torso and my nips poked the fabric which made me feel good about myself.
Coming back to story, I hugged Mom and Dad and left for my Uncle's house. It was a long journey although my iPod and a good thriller novel (I don't read them unless I am undertaking a long journey) kept the boredom away. 6 hours passed by rather quickly and there I was standing few steps away from my Uncle's house. I loved coming to this place as I had some great memories attached with this serene landscape and over the time , I had started writing some songs which made me feel good. I picked up my bag, and no sooner had I reached the doorstep that I saw the door locked. I was shocked because I had told my Uncle well in advance that I would be coming today. I saw one note attached with the doorknob. It read "Dear Nick, I am extremely sorry for being unable to welcome you son. One of my close friends is terribly ill and there's no one to take care of him. I will see you after 3-4 days. Take care and the key is with Mark. I have told him about your visit and he will be there in no time."
Though I was dejected that Uncle was not there to welcome me but at the same time, there was an unusual excitement when I read that key was with Mark. He has always been an eye candy for me and my first crush. Mark was a 27 yo handsome guy who worked in a plumbing company. Buzzcut black hair, blue eyes which could make any one to drool, perfect lips with pearly white teeth and a sexy stubble, big broad shoulders and massive pecs, Arms so big to crush a stone and tree trunk legs. Man ,I could go on and on describing this hot muscular hunk. " Hey Nick", a husky voice brought me back to real world and I got petrified when I saw the man in front of me. There was Mark with his beautiful smile, his blue eyes making my heart go crazy. "Hey Mark" I replied smiling back feeling my knees go wobbly. He hugged me tight and I was surprised but liked getting so close to this manhunk. His hold was a gentle one inspite of his huge boulder arms. "How you've been bud? Been such a long time since I saw you here. Your Uncle was missing you dearly. Glad to see you. " Mark said.
"Yeah I have been a bit busy, but so happy to be here. Glad to see you too Mark. You look even better than before. (Hell, did I just say that!!)", I said. Mark grinned and said " You look great Nick and definitely better than before." My heart started pounding faster after getting such an awesome compliment from this smoking hot dude. He lifted my bags and opened the door. Nothing had changed. Photo frames capturing my early teen years and years before, beautiful ambience of the room with sunlight lighting up most part of it and then there was a nice fireplace. It was as if I was reliving those wonderful memories again, forgetting for a moment that Mark was also present in the house. I felt two big hands on my shoulders, as Mark stood so close to me. His breath was falling on my neck and I was feeling as if I was going to faint. He said in that magical voice again "Those days were beautiful Nick. You remember how we chased each other playing roles of cop and thief? I played the cop and you used to become thief". I turned around, my eyes trying to avoid looking at those piercing blue eyes. "Ofcourse I remember Mark and you pinned me down to the floor whenever you caught me. " I said with a chuckle.
He smiled and said "You must be tired. Take some rest. I will come in the evening." Though I was tired after a long journey, but I didn't want him to leave me. At the same time, I didn't want to sound like a kid drooling over a candy. So I hugged him and he left. I unpacked my bag and changed to tight T. I decided to go commando and just wore my tight shorts. My dick was already hard and leaking and the guy responsible for this erection was to come in the evening. I took a nap and woke up at about 5 in the evening. I took a shower and paid special attention to my ass as I massaged my butt cheeks. I started imagining about Mark showering with me and grinding his hot body against mine. I started fingering my ass and jerking my hard dripping cock. I got to the point of no return and exploded shooting a huge load all over the floor and my legs. I let out a huge groan and was just panting when I heard the doorbell ring. I cleaned my legs quickly and fumbled with the towel, wrapping it around my waist. Doorbell rang again and I knew I would be opening the door in just towel. I opened the door and there was the superstud Mark with that cheesy grin on his face. "Ah it seems I disturbed you"he said eyeing my body . "Oh its alright man, come on in" I replied politely. "Lil buddy, you have grown up into a handsome young jock" Mark said as his eyes seem scanning me from head to toe. I knew it was the right time to make a move. "Well, I am just following in your footsteps Mark",I said with a grin on my face. My confidence levels were getting higher as I made contact with those mesmerizing eyes.
"I don't know about you Nick, but now its getting hard to resist a hot jock like you",Mark's comment stunned me but aggravated my testosterone levels. I knew it was time. "Who's asking you to resist Mark?" , I hadn't even completed saying his name when this masculine hunk prowled at me with a great agility and pressed me close to his hot body, as he leaned in and planted the first kiss of several kisses to follow that evening and night. It was so passionate and his lips felt really good. I had always thought of making out with him and here we were kissing like 2 passionate lovers who were meeting after a long time. He hugged me tight and whispered in my ear " Nick, I was always attracted to you but its no more of an attraction. I love you Nick", his words and his hot breath melted my heart and body. I moaned loudly, "Oh Mark, I have always dreamt about you and I love you too." It was followed by yet another hot passionate kiss and this time Mark slid his hot tongue in my mouth, probing my mouth in a sensual manner as I sucked on his tongue and we both moaned.
He parted and took his tight T off, soon pulling down his denims. He looked like a hot pornstar with a rugged look and so smoking hot. He grinned and picked me up in his big arms,carrying me to the bed. My Uncle's king size bed was so comfortable and he kissed me all the way. Laying me down gently, he climbed over me,pinning my arms to the bed. He started making out passionately, kissing my lips,cheeks,chin and then he buried his hot mouth in the crevice of my neck and collar bone. I was in a pleasure zone as I moaned loud. His stubble teased me even more and his hot tongue worked its magic on my body which was spasming nonstop. He growled while still kissing and licking my neck. Sliding his tongue to my big nips,he tongue circled them and looking in my eyes,said "Always wanted to suck these erasers" and he started flicking my nips with his hot wet tongue. I was moaning so hard pinned by this masculine hunk who was driving me crazy. I was in 7th heaven as he clamped his hot mouth on my pecs while flicking my buds with his naughty wet tongue. "Ohhhhhh Mark" I growled. He switched between my nips and neck sending waves of pleasure through my body. Then he kissed way down to my abs and kissed my navel button making me groan with extreme pleasure. He lifted my butts and unwrapped the towel, exposing my buff ass and hard leaking cock.
He flipped over and gave me a passionate kiss. I explored his hot perfect body with my lips and tongue as I paid special attention to his Adam's apple as I sucked on it, making him moan with pleasure. I tweaked his nips as I kissed his neck. I slowly slid my tongue way down to his abs,licking them,kissing them. He was growling like a bear. His mod hairy body was driving me wild and I slid down his boxer briefs. I was left shocked to see what a big dick this hunk was packing. It had to be atleast 8.5" in length and 6 inches thick. He grinned at me and said "You like this don't you Nick?". I grabbed his muscular cock and teased his piss slit,making him throw his head back as he moaned. I clamped my mouth on his big fat mushroom head as it stretched my lips and started bobbing up and down this enormous dick. Moaning and groaning,he pushed my head down on his big cock. I slurped and slobbered over his big dick and kept gagging whenever he hit the back of my throat with his big helmet. Spitting over his dick, I flicked my tongue over his piss slit and sucked deep down to his balls. His manscent was so strong and seductive, I kept on sucking his big cock for some time. Then, I rolled his nuts with my tongue as I swallowed his big ballsac,driving him wild. "Fuck yeah Nick,where did you learn that...fuckkkkk feels so good bud",he moaned. He flipped me over and kissed me again,tasting his precum in my mouth.
"You have made me so hard Nick. Don't worry, I won't be aggressive given that you got a tight ass and I gotta huge tool for that sweet ass" Mark said as he slid between my legs and spread my buttcheeks with his big hands. He massaged my tight pucker with his thumb as he licked my taint. "Ohhhhhhhhh Mark..yeah don't stop it" I hollered. He spread my buttcheeks further and started stabbing my pucker with his hot tongue sending shivers down my spine. I was in total ecstasy as he drilled my hole with his hot tongue,licking my inner ass walls and spitting in my hole. He munched on my ass lips for what seemed like hours. "Are you ready bud ?"Mark asked to which I moaned "yeah Mark I have wanted you for so long.Want to feel you inside me". He pulled my legs up over his broad shoulders as he rubbed my pucker with his dripping mushroom head,chuckling as he leaned in and kissed me deep and hot. Then getting up, he started poking my ass lips and soon the big head popped in my ass."Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh",we both groaned loudly. He gave me some time to adjust to his girth as he started going deeper into my lovetube. With pleasure groans and moans, he made it all the way deep until his balls were resting on my ass cheeks. "Oh I love you dude",Mark grunted as I grinded my butt cheeks against his heavy ballsac. Then he slid back and forth slowly. He started long dicking my tight hole with that huge nice cock. He started picking up pace as I felt his heavy balls slapping my ass cheeks. We moaned with each thrust and I was having the time of my life with the hunk of my dreams. He grunted and took his cock out of my ass. He got behind me and started to fuck me sideways,kissing me constantly. His big hands were wrapped around my pecs as he dicked my hot ass. He pressed my lovebutton each time he slammed his dick in and I knew I was about to cum soon. Then he picked me up in his arms in a standing missionary position and started fucking me hard. Pounding and drilling my ass deep with his huge tool, he growled like a bear. "Ohhhhhh fuck Nick, I am gonna cum" Mark groaned loudly as he laid me back on bed and took his dick back until his head was in my ass . He hollered loud and erupted in my ass, shoving his spurting dick deep in my ass, making me shoot my own load. It was so intense that it hit my chin and splattered all over my pecs and abs. We both moaned as he kissed me deep."Oh Nick, this was so awesome. I love you." Mark whispered in my ear. "Mark, I am so glad to be with you. I have always dreamt about us and today my fantasy came true. I love you Mark",I said. He didn't take his dick out and we slept cuddled together in warmth of love.
Looking forward to write Part 2

Pictures are always nostalgic. You go back in time and remember the good times you once spent. The old photos of celebrities are always shocking to look at. These surprising vintage magazine covers of Hollywood celebrities will blow your mind.
Some of the these magazine covers might make you look at it twice as they are picked from days back in time when there was no smooth hair or pout. The men termed as sexy aren't too sexy and women fully clad also made it to that category.
Let's look at these surprising vintage covers of Hollywood celebrities:
Hollywood's Happy Couples
When the People magazine covered its feature on happy couples of Hollywood, it had chosen the married pairs. Every couple seen on the magazine cover looks absolutely happy and madly in love. But, all of these couples divorced within 4 years since this feature.
Prince William's First Birthday
People magazine featured Price William on the occasion of Royal baby's first birth anniversary. What comes as a surprise is the amount of resemblance this picture holds with Prince William's son George. Like father, like son.
When Bruce Jenner Was Still Bruce
This picture is from the years when Caitlyn was still Bruce Jenner, and happily married to his ex-wife Chrystie Jenner. See how pretty Bruce looked then, too? Place this picture with Caitlyn's Vogue cover and nothing could surprise you better.
When Princess Diana Was Just Diana
When Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot, the entire world got to see their royal wedding live. But, when Princess Diana was yet to tie the knot, the magazine featured her on their cover with all the details about her riyal wedding.
The Flawless Meryl Streep
The veteran actress and one of the most beautiful on world Meryl Streep has always been a flawless beauty. This picture of herself on the magazine cover from decades ago isn't much different from her recent pictures. Ever beautiful Meryl!
Britney's Sexy Look Was Extra Decent
It is now in the recent years that a picture of any celebrity is considered sexy only when ample amount of skin is exposed. Look at at Britney's sexy cover photo then. She was considered to be too sexy too soon for wearing a tank top.
The Moment When Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston Said "I Do"
It is hard to imagine the days when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were a couple! But, this picture definitely doesn't fail to take you back in time. Years ago when they were the hottest couple of Hollywood.

Sassi's Rice and Beans
Recipe by SassiKatt Chef
A very hearty rice and bean combo that falls somewhere between soup and stew. It is very thick but not overwhelming. A delicious addition could be grated cheese, sour cream or even guacamole. I love to dip corn chips in this dish. It gets better left over and freezes nicely. I consider this comfort food, but it doesn't have all the calories and fat like most "real" comfort foods. It also is a one pot prep on the stove.

A nice dish to have on a cold evening. The flavors worked well together. I added a little cayenne pepper and left out the 2 cups of water. I used a 29 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes, including the juice. I let everything simmer for about 1-1/2 hours and the celery and carrots were still a little crisp, but it added some nice texture to this dish. Made for Spring, 2009 PAC.
