The Sigma dp2 Quattro is a strange-looking camera that captures images with an incredible amount of detail, but it requires patience and discipline to get great results.
Superb image quality at low ISO. Bright, sharp rear LCD. Dual control dials. Quick Set menu system.
Slow operation. Lens lacks image stabilization. Outdated Raw conversion software. Funky design. No built-in EVF or add-on option. No video support. Lacks built-in flash.
If you were to say "SIGMA" to someone who'd spent a good part of their photographic past shooting 35mm film, there's a good chance the first word out of their mouth would be "lenses.
Tremendous still image quality at and below ISO 400, Great color, Optically excellent lens
Narrow useable ISO range, Poor battery life, Cost, RAW support via only Sigma software currently, AF a bit slower than most current digital cameras
There's not denying that the dp2 Quattro is a camera which can excel in the right conditions. In good light and at lower ISO settings the level of detail and general image quality is outstanding
Wonderfully sharp lens; Image quality at lower ISO settings; Well laid out controls
Bulky body; Handgrip not particularly comfortable; Image quality at higher ISO settings; No video
Captured images have good dynamic range and showcase the potential of the sensor. The Sigma DP2 Quattro, in our opinion, can only perform well in the hands of an experienced or extremely conscientious photographer who knows exactly what he's doing.
upto 39MP interpolation, Sharp Images, Good build quality, Foveon sensor
Images unusable at low-ISO, Slow focus time, Terrible ergonomics, Slow image recording on SD card, Costly
When it comes to doing things a little differently in the photo industry, Sigma is usually quick to enter the conversation. Renowned for their well-priced and well-regarded lenses -- especially nowadays -- it's their camera systems that really stand out, and their radical new "dp Quattro family" of...
Phenomenal detail and "depth" at low ISOs, Incredible image quality for the price and size (at low ISOs), No demosaicing artifacts, Extremely high resolution, Superb corner-to-corner sharpness and contrast from fixed lens, even wide open, Low geometric distortion and chromatic aberration, Decent...
Fixed focal-length lens, Poor macro reproduction ratio, Moderate vignetting wide open, High ISO performance is still poor; much below average for the sensor size, Below average dynamic range, Auto and Incandescent white balance produce color casts indoors, Slow startup, Sluggish continuous mode...
The Sigma DP2 Merrill is dedicated to Dick Merrill (1949-2008), a photographer and engineer who developed/invented the Foveon sensor technology. The camera is based on former DP compact Sigma cameras, but uses the newest generation of the Foveon X3 sensor.
The DP1 was a difficult camera to review - resolutely niche in its outlook, it was a brave, if not wholly successful, attempt to do something that no large manufacturer seemed willing to risk.
Excellent levels of detail in ISO 100 images (irrespective of pixel count), Dynamic range comparable with its peers, Good lens with only minimal distortion and little chromatic aberration, Attractive minimalist styling, Good build quality, Greatly improved user interface (though still has its...
Sluggish performance, Desaturated and 'flat' JPEG output, Unreliable White Balance, Green and magenta tints to parts of many images, Continuous mode only allows four shots per burst (three in RAW), Auto Focus struggles in low light (and there is no AF help light), Image quality drops sharply above...
By Michael Reichmann & Kevin RaberIn late July Kevin lead a photographic expedition to the Norwegian Arctic. He had just received the Quattro DP2 for testing and it because his "always handy" camera, while he did his main wildlife and landscape shooting with a Nikon D800 outfit.
The Sigma DP2 doesn't really live up to the promise of its Foveon sensor, but it does excel for shooting in black and white photos.
Excellent characteristics for shooting in black and white; compact; nice manual controls.
Slow AF system; short battery life; stiff shutter button; some interface annoyances; occasional lockups; poor white balance; overly blue LCD screen; poor video capture.
You've heard of "advanced compact" cameras-those pocketable powerhouses that shoot RAW, sport hot-shoes, and give you much more control than typical point-and-shoots.
Fantastic image acutance in good light in raw. Also great for black and white even at high iso thanks to the blue channel which is very clean of noise. Works great with the Konica Minolta CL49-200 close-up lens for near macro work. Now most of my shots are keepers. Thank you Sigma and Foveon.
I bought this camera because i was looking for an excellent B&W camera that didnt break the bank. I have used the camera for limited landscape areas, portraits and art photos. It excels at B&W. Perhaps its not a Monochrome Leica but it sure beats my higher end DSLRs. Color rendition is excellent.

- Shalom re the message of Mata Kimasitayo
I could not read the non-English text.
At all events, re
the identification of Afriki: do Gobineau (Le
Comte de GOBINEAU, "Histoire Des Perses", Paris 1869)
says that Afriki was the name of a city sacred to the Medes.
Others identified Afriki with an area in the
Caucasus possibly Iberia (a province of Georgia).
Zvi Casdoi, The Tribes of Jacob and the
Preserved of Israel (Hebrew), Haifa, 1926,
relates Totafot to words in Caucasian dialects.
It is to be noted that Totafot also makes sense in Hebrew.
The doubling of consonants (e.g. TT in totafot) usually implies an emphasis.
In Hebrew we have the word-root ToFH connoting a
swelling as found in words like Tofeh (swell up)
and in the word TOF meaning a drum usually made of leather.
Totafot may be derived from this root and connote
empty leather cases as if the leather is swollen.
Into these cases are inserted parchment with inscribed verses.
This fulfills the commandment.
"And they [these words] shall be for totafot
between your eyes" (Exodus 13:16; Deuteronomy 6:8; Deuteronomy 11:18).
Exodus 13:
16 It shall be as a sign on your hand and as
frontlets [Hebrew : totafot] between your eyes,
for by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 6:
8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and
they shall be as frontlets [Hebrew : totafot] between your eyes.
Deuteronomy 11:
18 Therefore you shall lay up these words of
mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind
them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as
frontlets [Hebrew : totafot] between your eyes.
Note: The etymology of Rabbi Akiva does not necessarily contradict the above.

I am currently in Saint Petersburg (Treasure Island) and would like to go to Key West asap. What are my budget options for getting there? I'm told that there is a boat that leaves Ft. Myers Beach to Key West, how would I get to Ft, Myers from my current location? Also, can anyone recommend budget accommodations in Key West?

Here is the web site for the ferry: http://www.seak .com/noflash.htm
You should be able to contact them for directions on how to get there.
Check Roomsavers.com and tripadvisor.com for great deals on rooms. We got a fantastic deal on a 2 bedroom condo on Key Largo through one of these.
Good luck and enjoy your trip.
The post before mine should help more than I can, because the only experience I had in that area was a family reunion in St. Petersburg. It was wonderful, and afterwards three of us rented a car and drove straight down "Alligator Alley" to Key West. It was really fun. If you do decide to rent a car, be aware that during the summer, it is REALLY hot but of course we had air conditioning, otherwise we would have completely fried! Also, there are some very strange people and places along Alligator Alley... and at night, there are some weird areas in these strange towns that could prove dangerous to the naive traveler, so beware of venturing off into the night. Before you take off, make sure you have plenty of fuel, water and food to eat along the way! I would take the motor trip again in a heartbeat. It really gave you a taste of the far south U.S. and once we got there everyone in Key West was incredibly friendly. We made lots of friends, there was a lot of partying going on and we actually had so much fun we paid the extra airline fee in order to stay a few extra days.

Jacques Pepin's Flatbread
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by emmalee1942
"The recipe is from Jacques Pepin's TV series, "More Fast Food My Way". It was developed after Pepin visited a Tibetan restaurant and wanted to re-create a pan-cooked flatbread. The advantage of the bread is that it cooks FAST. From start to finish no more than 20 minutes. The bread adapts well to flavor additions such as herbs or mushrooms, rosemary, etc."
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions See How It's Made
- Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and "stir it into a gooey stuff" as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients.
- Heat a non-stick 10" skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough.
- Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.)
- Add a tablespoon or two of water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the object is to create steam to help cook the bread. Cover the pan with a lid and cook 8-10 minutes. Peek at the bottom of the bread about half way through the first 8-10 minutes just to make sure the bottom isn't burning. You want good color, but not charcoal! Adjust the temperature accordingly.
- After 8-10 minute flip the bread and re-cover the pan so that it cooks on the other side, 5 minutes.
- It tastes best if eaten while warm.

We are pleased to have author Abigail Owen with us, celebrating the release of Andromeda's Fall, a paranormal romance out of Wild Rose Press, the first ever from this talented author. With Abigail is protagonist Andromeda Reynolds. Welcome to you both. First up is Andie.
Where are you from? Northwest Canada. I can't tell you exactly where, because the location is secret. I grew up in the Carstairs Dare of cougar shifters. I don't live there any more though.
Tell us a bit about Andromeda's Fall. This is the story of how I escaped from my own community of cougar shifters and tried to find asylum with the Keller Dare. My plan was to try to mate the Alpha, but A.J. got in the way of that.
What did you think the first time you saw A.J.? First thought? How the hell did he catch me? I'm very good at what I do, and getting into the Keller Dare should have been doable.
And your second thought? Wow. Those eyes! I mean, how am I going to get around this guy and get to the Alpha?
Did you feel it was love at first sight? Not even close. The man was trying to test me, and was in my way. No matter how attractive he was, I had bigger problems.
What do you like most about him? He didn't kill me outright when we first met. Most male cougar shifters would have if they'd found me breaking into their compound. But A.J. has a cooler head than that, and more self-control. And holy smokes, can that man kiss!
That's a good start. How would you describe him? Confident, in charge, respected. He's also funny and kind—thought though he doesn't show that to many people.
How would he describe you? Probably a pain in his rear. But he tells me I'm beautiful and feisty, smart, and sexy so I guess he thinks my attitude is worth the effort.
What made you choose being a strategist as a career? My father taught me all forms of fighting and weaponry from a young age. As the daughter of the Beta in the Carstairs Dare, this position made the most sense. Unusual for a woman, especially in that community, I know. But I'm good at it.
What is your biggest fear? That Kyle Carstairs would get control of the Carstairs Dare. His father, Walter, is bad enough, but Kyle would be a nightmare.
How do you relax? Train to fight. I also go on long runs. Most cougars are sprinters, but I was built for distance.
Who is your favorite fictional character and why? Jane Eyre. She's got guts for someone in her position, and she doesn't compromise herself, even for love.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received? My father told me to leave the Carstairs Dare. He saved my life, but we'll see if things turn out as well as he hopes.
That was truly amazing. A shape shifter who admires Jane Eyre. Too cool. Now it's Abigail's turn. What movies or books have had an impact on your career as a writer and why? I read a ton – 85% romance. And I would say those have had the most impact on my writing style and preference. I love to escape and read about how a couple find love together. Movies? I'm a huge fan of anything fantasy or super-hero related – Xmen, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars. I love thinking of worlds where extraordinary powers are possible and what that would look like.
What event in your private life were you able to bring to this story and how do you feel it impacted the novel? I grew up going to the Rocky Mountains ever summer. While this book is based further west in the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho, I brought my love for that landscape to the scenes. I hope people will see the land and my characters who life there through my eyes – beautiful, clear, wide open, but also potentially deadly.
Tell us a bit about your publisher: how did you hear about them and what influenced your decision to submit to them? I had heard of The Wild Rose Press several times, but it wasn't until I read an article featuring them and a few other new presses in RWA magazine that I realized that I might be a good fit for them. I immediately queried Andromeda's Fall to them and was thrilled to get a YES!
What project[s] are you working on now? Sarai's Fortune, the 2nd book in the Shadowcat Nation series, is with my editor now. Looking forward to working with her on getting it ready! In the meantime, I'm in the drafting phases on a couple of contemporary romances – one in small-town Texas and one is about skydiving.
What's up next for you? I have a monster project in mind. The kind of idea you know could be big but it intimidates you to write it. But I'll give it my best shot!
This has been great fun, Abigail, thanks for visiting us this week. Good luck with this book and future creations.
Kat Henry Doran and Veronica Lynch


text: The Alexandra Cabot wiki last edited by fables87 on 10/23/13 09:04AM View full history Alexandra is one of the longest-running supporting characters of Josie, introduced in the 1960s. She is the twin sister of Alexander Cabot. Both are heirs to Alexander Cabot, Jr, a wealthy businessman. Alexandra has black-hair with a white stripe in the middle, shaped like a lightning-bolt. She is intelligent but has a cruel side to her personality. Back in the 1969, in the storyline introducing the Pussycats music group, Alexandra was supposed to be part of the trio with Josie and Melody. However she demanded leadership in exchange for her music skills and financial backing. But Valerie joined the group instead of her while Alexander became their manager and financial backer. A rejected Alexandra swore revenge. Since then various stories have focused on her efforts to either rival the group or become the fourth Pussycat. Her music skills have varied on depiction, from adequate to atrocious.Alexandra has a personal rivalry with Josie over the affections Alan Mayberry (nicknamed "Alan M"). She also has a rather poor relationship with her brother . At times her mean streak is downplayed and she acts quite friendly with Josie, Melody and Valerie in situations which don't involve the band. Another side to her personality was introduced in 1969. Her cat Sebastian is the reincarnation of a witchcraft-practicing ancestor of the Cabots. When she holds the cat in her hands, Alexandra can cast powerful magic spells. Which at times backfire spectacularly. Her witchcraft skills seem to have been mostly forgotten about by the 1980s and are rarely even mentioned in modern depictions.

I am 19 about to be 20 years old and i have never had a boyfriend - for that matter i have never had sex before either ( I am not the type of girl who sleeps around and I am waiting for a relationship).
Guys say I am beautiful, stunning, hot etc and are shocked to find out i have never had a boyfriend before. I am reserved and quiet but not stuck up or bitchy in any way - I have insecurities aswell. I am actually very down to earth and always put other people before myself. I feel i have a "resting bitch face" which does not help me at all as I am a very gentle person. I would also say I am emotionally intelligent and mature for my age.
I seem to attract the player guys and it is making it hard for me to find a decent guy. When guys try to pursue me, it ends up failing (predominately I think because the guy is not looking for a relationship)..
Are guys intimidated to date a "pretty" girl? Would guys prefer to date someone who is less attractive than they are - or is this only the case for guys who are somewhat insecure?
Any advice would be great! :) xxxxx
Guys call me beautiful, hot etc but I have never had a boyfriend, what is wrong with me?
I am 19 about to be 20 years old and i have never had a boyfriend - for that matter i have never had sex before either ( I am not the type of girl who sleeps around and I am waiting for a relationship).
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 3
Pretty or not pretty doesn't really matter.
My mom was very beautiful when she was young and guys asked her out all the time. She is not old, grey haired lady in a wheelchair, and guys ask her out all the time.
There is one thing that attracts a good man more than anything else. And when I say a good man, I do not mean a player or a whimp. I mean a man of value, who vales himself, values you and is a good protector/provider.
If you want to attract good men, let them know that what they do makes you happy. You do not have to be a happy person all the time, but you need to show good men that THEY and what they DO make you happy. It will start with very little things and build, but if you can consistently make men feel like what they are doing is making you happy, you will have no problem finding a good relationship.
You should see the men line up to get my mom a cup of coffee at church. Why? Because everyone of them feels great about themselves when they are around her. There is no gesture too small that my mom will not show you how happy it makes her.
Hope that helps00|00|0
A lot of great guys do avoid the over the top hotter girls simply because of too much competition. Lots of girls bounce form guy to guy and we see that. Nobody wants to take the risk to ask you out only to date until the next alpha meat head comes along. That is how some of use feel. Also, you may have a high maintenance look that you aren't aware of. I am not saying you bounce around or are high maintenance, but just saying looks can say a lot and give a guy the wrong impression.00|00|0
first things first, don't worry someone will come along, guys like sweet girls, especially the reserved and quiet ones. You just need to put yourself out there more, talk to more people, get to know some nice guys.00|00|0

8' x 10' Area Rugs
8' x 10' Area Rugs
When shopping for a dining room rug, 8' x 10' is usually the minimum size to consider. This size accommodates a standard size table with six chairs comfortably, allowing the chairs to be pulled out without falling off the rug and for a comfortable (not crowded) appearance under the table.
The 8x10 rug size is also used quite often in a living area on a hard surface floor. This size can tuck a few inches under the front legs of a sofa with room for 2 or 4 legs of chairs, or a love seat, to also be on the rug, creating a comfortable place to visit. Consider 9x12 or 10x14 for larger rooms, especially with high ceilings.

Spicy White Bean Dip
Tortilla Chips
White Wine Spritzer
A little chocolate
At last I have achieved a leftover! Last night I made Nachos for both my real man and myself. For him I used minced beef but for me I made some quasi-refried beans by frying finely chopped onion in olive oil till soft then adding a little garlic and a drained can of cannelloni beans. I seasoned the mixture with cumin and sea salt and fried and mashed till hot and yummy. In both cases I layered up the filling with some excellent Kettle Tortilla Chips and grated cheese (non-traditional Cornish Crackler - the Mexicans don't know what they're missing!), baked till hot, crisp and melty and served with sour cream and 'salsa' (ie. Tomato and Chilli Pasta Sauce from my storecupboard). We haven't had nachos for years so it made a pleasant change.
There was a handful (girly hand) of nachos left in the packet and a little of the bean mixture left too so today I puréed the beans with roasted garlic mayonnaise and more of the aforementioned 'salsa' and ate the mixture with the leftover nachos and their crumbs. Quick, easy, tasty, a bit healthy (beans and corn) and made from scraps small enough that most people might throw them away.
Lunch Pudding was a few Squares of Tesco Finest Swiss Milk Chocolate with Caramel Pieces but the sad thing is, since the 'flu haven't quite got my appetite back and in particular sweet things seem too sweet. I am, of course, persevering and hope things get back to normal soon.

We instinctively know that well-designed workspaces can improve performance, but more research on how they do this is needed. The Transform grant program can help.
Like many other designers, I often find inspiration in nature. Take, for instance, migratory birds. The balance of a flock, the predictability of its flight patterns and even the rhythm of their wings—confident and with purpose—are all part of nature's design. But I'm always intrigued when one or two birds separate from the flock. Have they lost their way? Or do they know something the
other birds do not?
As I look at the leaders and designers in our industry who inspire me the most, it's apparent that they frequently do the same thing, separating from the flock and setting off in new directions. Some are using technology in exciting ways, such as applying geographic information systems (GIS) data and video gaming applications to the evaluation of building performance, and using
so-called wearable sensor technology to understand how people move within spaces. Others are more holistic in their thinking, going beyond the performance requirements and embracing a multidisciplinary mindset; for example, some designers are now employing 3-D imaging to ensure greater transparency in material selection and promote sustainable choices.
These innovators are thinking globally about the impact of design on all aspects of life, reinventing and exploring new ways to connect our global systems together in the name of progress. But what is it about design professionals and the way in which we work that fosters such constant reinvention and innovation? Is it a natural way of looking at the world, or one that we can cultivate through our environments? It turns out that our workspaces may hold some clues.
My workplace has always been an open, daylight-filled studio. I've found this type of space encourages collaboration throughout the day, with designers freely sharing and hashing out ideas, and politely challenging one another to consider new design solutions. The open workspace also promotes informal mentorship. Because senior designers are seated among newer designers, emerging professionals have an opportunity to see how their more-experienced colleagues manage complex projects, and interface with clients and contractors. This type of work environment offers visual benefits as well. For me, just seeing creative work, including sketches, materials, and models throughout the workspace provides inspiration.
Indeed, there's no question that our workplaces are more than just a location where work happens; rather, they are a reflection of a company's brand and mission. A well-designed office has the power to create culture, increase employee satisfaction, improve customer service, and enhance overall performance. Most interior designers know this anecdotally, but we need more research to fully understand and communicate the impact of design and its return on investment.
In an effort to learn more about how the design of physical space improves performance, the ASID Foundation's 2014 Transform grant program will fund research to begin quantifying the return on investment of a well-designed work environment. The third-annual program, offering more than $100,000 in funding, seeks to address critical gaps in industry knowledge and demonstrate the value and impact of interior design in quantifiable, replicable, and, ultimately, economic terms.
In short, we want to uncover the specific design interventions that consistently result in positive worker outcomes—including increased productivity, satisfaction, creativity, innovation, and collaboration levels—thereby making the business case for bringing interior design expertise into the workplace.
The program, which accepted applications from August to September 2013, was open to all, including educators, design practitioners, and product manufacturers. Grant proposals are now under review and recipients will be announced on January 31, 2014. We look forward to sharing the research findings of our winning proposals, and hope you'll be able to use these findings to separate from the flock and chart your own way forward.

With it being time to schedule vacations, I called the campsite where I had spent my last three vacations, verifying what dates for the cabin I wanted were open.
As I talked with Jake Cooper, the forest ranger about the reservation, he said, 'I'm looking forward to seeing you again this year.'
'Same here, Jack. As soon as I get the date set at work I'll call ad reserve the first three weeks of May.'
'I'll put a hold on it for you,' he replied.
'Thanks,' I said. 'I'll be in touch.'
As i hung up I began to remember back to the first vacation I'd taken to the campsite.
Just a couple of years before my first vacation there, the national forest service had built some shelters in several areas of the forest. There were several sections with three to five shelters per area, depending on the terrain.
A close friend of mine had been there and told me about it saying that section two as the most isolated and private and that shelter four was the most private. He said that for going nude, it was the best and most isolated. He and I had been on nude camping trips before and enjoyed the freedom. He was gay also and we had experienced some great times on those camp outs.
The shelters were only square screen enclosures, with a small bathroom with shower in one corner and the rest of one wall had a small stove, fridge, and counter with sink and cabinets. There were four double beds and a table and chairs in the shelter, plus electricity.
My first trip, I had reserved shelter 4 in section two. The only way to reach the shelters from the ranger station parking lot was by foot or ATV. My shelter was roughly three miles from the ranger station. The closest shelter was number 3 which was roughly two miles from mine, and there were rules forbidding entering another shelters clearing without being invited.
When I arrived that first time and met Jack, my heart raced with lustful excitement.He was in his mid twenties, and from his snug fitting uniform, I could tell that he was extremely well built and well endowed. His dark hair set of his sky-blue eyes that had a constant twinkle, and his smile was perfect.
As I registered, we talked and before long it seemed like we were old friends. He said most of his reservations were for weekends or just one week at a time. He said I was his first long term stay. I was soon sure that he was either bi or gay. There was just something about the way he looked at me that made me feel that way.
After my check in and with key in hand I unloaded my ATV from my pickup along with the small trailer that held my few clothes, should the be needed, and all my food supplies. Once the trailer was hooked to the ATV, I headed down the narrow trail that Jake had indicated.
I arrived, settled in, stripped totally nude and went for a swim in the huge lake. Each shelter had it's own private grassy area and beach on the lake.
Three days into my stay, I was sitting in a lounge chair next to the beach, reading one of the gay novels I had brought. My cock was rock hard and I was entranced in my reading, when I suddenly heard, 'Everything satisfactory with your stay?'
Jumping up, I turned to see Jake sitting astride a beautiful chestnut horse.
'Uh, yea, every thing's great.' He had already seen my rock hard boner before it began deflating, so I made no attempt to hide it.
Smiling, he said, 'That must be one hell of a hot novel.'
'Uh, yea it is,' I replied, trying to hide the cover from him as he dismounted his horse and walked up to me. It was obvious that the bulge in his pants was larger than it had been when I checked in.
'Uh, I hope that there are no regulations against nudity,' I said.
'No as far as I'm concerned. The rules state that there shall be nothing offensive to other campers or it could result in expulsion from the campsite and forest property. You're the only one here until this coming weekend and then there is only one reservation and it's for shelter 1. So, stay comfortable all you want. It certainly doesn't offend me.'
'Thanks,' I said.
I offered him soda and we sat down at the picnic table. I then asked, 'Have you ever come across others going nude?'
'Just once. It was a man in his seventies and he was in shelter 1. The family in shelter 2 complained and when I went to talk to him I nearly threw up. He was gross. I kicked him out and forbid him from coming back.'
'I hope you don't think I'm gross'
'Oh, hell no. How could someone with a build like yours be considered gross?'
'You seem to be pretty well built yourself. Too bad I can't see for myself.'
He smiled and said, 'You never know what might happen out here in these woods.'
At my check in, I found out that the rangers worked three weeks on and one week off. Jake would be here my entire three weeks.
'So, you'll be working the entire timeI'm here?' I asked.
'Yea. If one of the others rangers were here I'd ell you to be careful about going nude. Hell, when there is no one here some weeks, I'll stop off while patrolling and get nude and relax and take a swim.'
'Oh yea, but that's our secret,okay?'
'Definitely. And if feel free to come by anytime and if you want to relax as you call it, please do it. I certainly don't mind.'
'Thanks,' he said, 'I just might take you up n that sooner than you think.'
'Anytime,' I replied.
He said he had to get back on patrol and said casually, 'See ya later, Mark.'
He left and I was now almost positive that things would develop between us.
That evening just as the sun was setting, I heard him approaching on horseback.
'Well, hello again,' I greeted.
'Hi. You mind some company?'
'Hell, no, I don't mind.'
He dismounted and tied his horse to a tree limb.
'I've made a quick patrol of the area and all's quiet. Like I said, You're the only one here besides me.'
'Well, make yourself at home,' I said, noticing that this time there was no tee shirt showing in the opening of his button up uniform shirt.
'Mark, I confessed to you how I came up and relaxed at times. Do you have any objections if I do it now?'
'hell, no. Like I said, make yourself at home. If you want to, shall we say, 'get comfortable', by all means do so. You can do it any time your here.'
'Thanks,' he said. He casually stripped, laying his clothes on the table. 'You know, it's good to find someone else into nudity.'
'Oh, I know, but I find nothing dirty about the naked human body, especially the male body.'
'Me either,' he replied.
'Where do you sleep? Is there a bedroom at the station?'
'Yea, there is. It a full small apartment attached to it, but when the weather is nice like now, I usually sleep on a singe bed up in the fire tower. You can catch more breezes there.'
'You stay up there nude?'
'What do you think?'
'I think you're nude as much as possible up there and back in the apartment.'
'You're right. I love walking around the outer platform on the tower nude. It's awesome.'
'Is there any way I could visit you up there?'
'Sure. Tomorrow night ride your ATV up after dark. The gates are locked at dark so no one will be around. You can come just as you are now. I'll probably already be up there so just come on up.'
'Great,' I said. We visited and we each got partial boners during our visit. Jake's cock was near eight inches, cut and with a nice mushroom head.
He stayed about an hour and a half. He said he had to leave when I noticed his cock getting harder for the second time.
'I have to call in some reports,' he said.
The next evening, just after seven, I climbed onto my ATV nude and headed back to the ranger station. I could see that there were just his and my trucks in the parking lot. I stopped at the foot of the tower and began the long climb to the top.
Sure enough, when I reached the outer walkway and looked in, I saw Jake at his desk totally nude, and on the phone. When I stepped in, he held one finger to his lips, signaling me to be quiet.
When he hung up, he said, 'I was calling in my reports to the district office. We shouldn't be interrupted during our visit.'
'If we are, I'll be quiet.'
'Thanks,' he replied. 'It's against regulations to have anyone up here without prior supervisor approval. I could loose my job.'
'Have you ever had anyone up here before?' I asked.
'Just once, after I first started, and I nearly got caught.'
I asked what happened and he said that he had let a friend visit one night and they were up here watching the last of the sunset when his supervisor drove up. he said that his buddy got on his hands and knees and crawled around the outside, staying out of sight of his boss.
'I bet you nearly shit,' I said.
'Man, don't you know it. I had him stay on his hands and knees and slip back inside and stay down until almost midnight before I let him leave. I had to go down and unlock the gate.
As we stood out on the walkway watching the last hues of the sunset fade to darkness, we placed our hands on the railings and after a moment he slid his over until it was slightly touching mine.
I didn't move mine away. Instead, after a few moments, I casually lifted my fingers and after turning my hand sightly, lay them over his. He turned and looked at me and as he did, I turned to him. Our eyes met and locked.
As if reading each others mind, our bodies turned to face each other and as they did, our faces moved closer and closer. Our lips met casually for a moment then separated. We continued looking into each others eyes and began a second kiss. This time, however, when our lips met, they parted and we each offered our tongues. As we kissed passionately, our arms wrapped around each other pulling each other tightly together.
It wasn't long before we were back inside, laying on the single bed and in a hot sixty-nine. For he next three hours we kissed, caressed, fondled, rimmed, sucked and fucked each other.
Then before I returned to my shelter, we stood on the outer walkway holding hands as he said, 'Mark, you can't imagine how lonely it gets out here. Am I ever glad we discovered each other.'
'I couldn't agree more,' I replied.
For the rest of my stay, we had sex daily. And the next o vacations were spent the same three weeks that Jake worked. Each year we rekindled our sexual pleasures. This year would be no different. Or would it?

I like him a lot and I think he likes me. Maybe as a friends with benefits thing?

Can Twitter, a social media platform for person-to-person communication, be used as a data source to study cardiovascular disease?
In this descriptive study, we identified 4.9 million Tweets about cardiovascular disease posted on Twitter. User demographics, as well as content (eg, risk factors, awareness, and treatment) and volume of Tweets, varied across cardiovascular diseases.
Twitter has potential as a data source for studying public communication about cardiovascular health.
As society is increasingly becoming more networked, researchers are beginning to explore how social media can be used to study person-to-person communication about health and health care use. Twitter is an online messaging platform used by more than 300 million people who have generated several billion Tweets, yet little work has focused on the potential applications of these data for studying public attitudes and behaviors associated with cardiovascular health.
To describe the volume and content of Tweets associated with cardiovascular disease as well as the characteristics of Twitter users.
Design, Setting, and Participants
We used Twitter to access a random sample of approximately 10 billion English-language Tweets originating from US counties from July 23, 2009, to February 5, 2015, associated with cardiovascular disease. We characterized each Tweet relative to estimated user demographics. A random subset of 2500 Tweets was hand-coded for content and modifiers.
Main Outcomes and Measures
The volume of Tweets about cardiovascular disease and the content of these Tweets.
Of 550 338 Tweets associated with cardiovascular disease, the terms diabetes (n = 239 989) and myocardial infarction (n = 269 907) were used more frequently than heart failure (n = 9414). Users who Tweeted about cardiovascular disease were more likely to be older than the general population of Twitter users (mean age, 28.7 vs 25.4 years; P < .01) and less likely to be male (59 082 of 124 896 [47.3%] vs 8433 of 17 270 [48.8%]; P < .01). Most Tweets (2338 of 2500 [93.5%]) were associated with a health topic; common themes of Tweets included risk factors (1048 of 2500 [41.9%]), awareness (585 of 2500 [23.4%]), and management (541 of 2500 [21.6%]) of cardiovascular disease.
Conclusions and Relevance
Twitter offers promise for studying public communication about cardiovascular disease.

Arf, Arf,
I have absolutely lousy results when trying to play WordPress TV videos. They constantly stutter, and take forever to run. Is there somewhere else to view them other than the WordPress TV site?
I really like the content of some of the videos and would like to embed them into my own site, BUT they display horribly.
Does it take 10 MB/sec download speed to keep these from stuttering?
Has anybody else had this problem, OR is it just me?

One of my very best friends is turning 60 this year - not until August, so there's plenty of planning time.
The best way to describe her is "over the top". She often wears sparkly tiaras and feather boas just because. She changes wigs to suit her mood - she doesn't need to wear wigs, she just likes to change it up! Her personality is just so big and wonderful. And she LOVES her birthday. She is planning a huge blowout with at least 100 people. She wants to have 2 cakes - both made by me. The first one I'm good with...
The other one, she just said "I want it sparkly". The party theme is basically Pajamas and Diamonds...
So I need help with an over the top, funky, spunky, sparkly cake to try to match her personality! I am a relative beginner, only been decorating for a little over 6 months. But I have plenty of time to order supplies and PRACTICE to pull this off. I just want to make something special for a very special person.
Ideas, pictures, etc would be great!
Get some shimmer dust, or luster dust! It comes in a bunch of different colors and you just brush it or sprinkle it on to the cake fondant or frosting. It sort of disovles on the frosting and makes it really sparkle! As for the cake design, I would definatly try to tie in that whole tiara and feather boa thing! how cute!
I did a search in the gallery for FEATHER and these cakes came up! They are great and I'm sure you could find some fun cakes there!
does your friend have a favorite pair of pjs you could mimick the pattern of on the cake and make some elements that will stick out? I imagine if she's all about pajamas and diamonds she has fun pjs =D
The last time we did a PJ & Pearls party, she wore tiger striped satin PJs... I don't know if I could pull off tiger stripes!
I was thinking maybe 3 pillows, stacked with a tiara on top. But it has to be BOLD. I would cover with fondant - I've never covered a cake before, but I have made my own fondant, and made decorations with it... I also have experience with making a tiara - though I would want to put gems in one for her, and make it BIG. And I have successfully carved a pillow cake. So I would do things that I know how to do, just take it all up a notch or ten, LOL! Maybe I could try to tiger stripe one of the pillows? and HSe loves hot pink, so make one hot pink... What else would go with that for a third pilow?
And still other ideas? I am all over the place!
If she's that over the top, make the tiger-stripped on hot pink and black, then you have more colors to play with (purple, red, yellow, green, etc.). I think sticking with a typical tiger-color would hamper that a bit.
Have FUN with it!

"Excellent care in A&E"
About: Cumberland Infirmary Cumberland Infirmary Carlisle CA2 7HY
Posted by Anonymous
Very unfortunately, my mum had to attend A&E recently.
The care and attention she received was second to none, despite the department being extremely busy.
My mum was very impressed with the hospital - she has just moved to Cumbria from Salford - and said it compared very favourably with Salford Royal Hospital which used to be her local hospital.
A sincere thank you from us all for the excellent care provided.
Response from Cumberland Infirmary 13 months ago
I am very sorry that your mum had to attend A&E but thank you for taking the time to leave this positive comment on NHS Choices about the A&E department here at the Cumberland Infirmary.
I am very glad to hear that she found the care and attention to be of such a high standard.
A&E staff do work within a busy in a busy environment but they always ensure that patients feel comfortable and feel at ease.
Thank you for giving us the option to share these comments with the team, I am sure they will be pleased to hear that you're mum felt well cared for.

When the Olympics was on, I noticed a lot of bulges. They make me so horny and I can't stop getting turned on watching all those fit, athletic men getting sweaty in skin-hugging, and skin-revealing, gear. Now when I'm watching sports with my family, or even out on the street , I can't help but spot bulges and get turned on. What can I do to hide my boner if I have to?
-Boner Hider
It's important you prioritize bulge watching over family time. So if it's your birthday and they want to take you out, you have to make sure there is no risk of seeing any bulges. So probably celebrate your birthday at a convent.
I hear convent's have pizza, lots of great games, a ball pit, all perfect for birthday celebrations. Or maybe that's horrible restaurant chain Chuck E. Cheese. And definitely avoid that chain because it's full of dads. And you know how hot some dads can be.
Now since odds are you aren't gigantic, and it's quite easy to wear a long shirt or loose pants (and even guys with giant cocks manage to walk down the street in tight jeans without getting arrested), you are likely not actually concerned with visible bulge.
Nope, you're concerned with visible desire. Visible gayness. Visible you being you. Which can be garnered from other body language being that of a bulge, such as fixation of gaze, getting visibly nervous, or the classic running after someone with tongue hanging out.
Your bulge is your bulge. It doesn't mean you're taking out your cock and doing stuff with it. So yeah, you can wear double pairs of underwear and put a couch pillow on yourself, but your self-consciousness with draw more attention to it. You're watching sports. They're watching that, not you.
And if you were playing sports, you'd do well to have a glaringly giant bulge. Tends to help endorsement deals. Or at least get you a few more social media followers.
Now hopefully you can relax about being aroused. Those are not contradictory things.
This is when I realize I told you to prioritize family time over bulge watching. Breaking up with your family basically. I had that same first instinct that it's not possible to be yourself in that way. Yeah I get that bulges are bulges, but you know you have a bulge even if you're not hard. And if you can't be your natural self in that situation (hidden bulge or hidden not bulge), then fuck that. Being a sexual gay person is not innately being anti-family or inappropriate.
Unless your mom and dad are anti-gay zealots. Then stuff your pants so you're huge all the time.

Sam Groth's poor start to 2016 on the ATP Tour has continued with a first-round loss to Ukrainian world No.82 Illya Marchenko at the Memphis Open.
The big-serving Australian was never broken in the 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-2) loss to Marchenko and even saved two match points at 6-5 down in the second set, but he couldn't do enough on return to trouble his 28-year-old opponent.
Groth won just 24 per cent of points on the Marchenko serve throughout the match and only gained one break point.
The loss is Groth's third first-round loss of the season after losing to Korean Hyeon Chung in Brisbane and Argentine Federico Delbonis in Sydney, before making the second round of the Australian Open.

- What they are: Uniquely structured investment funds that track broad-based or sector indexes, commodities and baskets of assets.
- Pros: Trade like stocks on regulated exchanges; diversity in a single investment; low expense ratios; tax efficient; some trade commission-free through participating brokers.
- Cons: Certain ETFs subject to contango; bid-ask spreads can be large; certain ETFs are taxed at a higher rate (such as gains on ETFs that hold physical precious metals).
- How to invest: ETFs trade just like stocks on regulated exchanges. You can trade online using your broker's online trading platform, or by calling your broker's trade desk to place orders.
ETF Basics
Exchange traded funds, or ETFs, are uniquely structured investment funds that track broad-based or sector indexes, commodities and baskets of assets. With access to nearly any asset class or sector, ETFs offer exposure to markets that have traditionally been challenging for individual investors to tap into, such as commodities and emerging markets. Since the first exchange traded fund was introduced in 1993, ETFs have become increasingly popular because they:
- Are tax efficient investments
- Boast low expense ratios
- Can be sold short and purchased on margin
- Maintain inherent liquidity
- Offer diversity in a single investment
- Provide intraday trading access
- Trade just like stocks on regulated exchanges
ETF Structure
Exchanged-traded funds and exchange-traded products (ETPs) use different product structures. When investing in an ETF, it is important to understand the fund's legal structure and corresponding implications, including financial risks and tax treatment. This information is generally available in the fund's prospectus. It should be noted that the term "ETF" is frequently used as a catchall for both ETFs and other exchange-traded products. ETNs, for example, are not actually ETFs but are similarly categorized. There are five types of structures for exchange-traded products, including ETFs: open-end fund, unit investment trusts, grantor trusts, limited partnerships and exchange-traded notes.
Open-End Funds
Most ETFs use an open-end structure. These funds must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under its Investment Company Act of 1940, and there are no restrictions on the number of shares that the fund can issue. As long as there is demand, the fund can continue to issue shares. Any dividends are reinvested on the day of receipt and cash distributions are paid to shareholders each quarter.
Unit Investment Trusts (UITs)
The other primary ETF structure is a unit investment trust, or "UIT." Also regulated by the SEC Investment Company Act of 1940, UITs are required to fully replicate their specific indexes while restricting investments in a single issue to 25% or less. A UIT holds its investments with little or no change for its duration. A UIT makes a "public offering" of a fixed number of units that are tradable on a secondary market. When a UIT is created, an expiration date is established; when the UIT terminates, any remaining securities are sold and any proceeds are paid to investors. Dividends are held until they are paid to shareholders, generally on a quarterly basis.
Grantor Trusts
Grantor trust investment portfolios are fixed and cannot be changed at a later date. Dividends are immediately distributed to shareholders, and investors have the same voting rights as any other shareholder for each company in the trust's portfolio. Grantor trusts can be tax efficient and investors can control taxes by deciding when to sell their shares. Many grantor trusts hold physical assets and own single commodities, such as the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSE: GLD) and the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV), while others invest in a portfolio of securities. Dividends are immediately distributed to shareholders.
Limited Partnerships (LPs)
A limited partnership, or an "LP," is an alternative legal structure that is not an Investment Company within the meaning of the SEC Investment Company Act of 1940. The most well-known limited partnerships are the United States Oil Fund (NYSE: USO) and the United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSEArca: UNG). These funds, which invest through futures contracts, are taxed each year even if you still own the position; capital gains are taxed at the hybrid 60% long-term and 40% short-term rates. Dividends may or may not be reinvested.
Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs)
Exchange-traded notes, or "ETNs," are unsecured debt securities that pay a return linked to the performance of an individual commodity, currency or index. ETNs have a specified date of maturity that can be as long as 30 years or more. These investment products are subject to counterparty risk: the creditworthiness of the backing institution can negatively impact the ETN's value, even if the underlying index performs well. Typically, ETNs do not pay dividends or annual coupons.

"There is always a way!". That must be the moto of Urbian, the company that developed the game Ringz for Android hansdsets. Basically, it´s a free collection of quite interesting puzzles and you need to arrange various balls in certain order. So, what do you do when you´ve played all available levels? Well, you can buy more directly from within the application itself... just like you would if you used an iPhone.
This is just an example of a feature that´s not natively supported by Android, but the developer has found a way to build it into their application. Aside from Ringz, you can also find several other programs with the same functionality at Android Market – Oracle, Locale, Open Home. Android definitely gives developers the opportunity to be creative and fix functionality gaps in the operating system.
By the way, take a look at Ringz, because the game is quite a brain-teaser indeed.
