IONISATION CHAMBER FOR RADIATION MEASUREMENTS Erich Zieler, Hamburg' Fuhlsbuttel, Germany, assignor,
by mesne assignments, to North American Philips Company, Inc., New York, N.Y., a corporation of Delaware Filed Dec. 1, 1955, Ser. No. 550,449
Claims priority, application Germany Dec. 1, 1954 4 Claims. (Cl. 313-93) The invention relates to ionisation chambers used for measuring X-rays. In such measuring chambers, the X-ray energy is converted by ionisation into an electric charge, while certain properties of ionisable gases and of the material from which the Walls or the electrodes of the ionisation chamber are made are utilized to achieve optimum conversion. It has been common practice to use air at atmospheric pressure as the i'onisable gas, the wall material usually consisting of substances of such nature that their contribution to the ionisation, due to the electrons which are emitted on irradiation, is substantially equal to the contribution of the radiation absorbed in the air filling. These materials are usually referred to as air-equivalent materials. Instead of such a choice of the wall material, which ensures that the measuring result is only slightly dependent upon the hardness of the rays, the use of materials of higher atomic number permits of achieving that the sensitivity of an ionisation chamber depends upon the hardness of the radiation substantially in the same manner as the sensitivity of a photographic film for making X-ray exposures. This property is of importance for ionisation chambers which are used in apparatus for automatically determining the exposure time in X-ray apparatus for diagnostics. As the wall material or as the wall lining, metals are used having an atomic number which is higher than that of the so-called air-equivalent substances in order to produce ionisation chambers which have higher sensitivity to radiation of a specified hardness. Instead of air, use may be made of gases of different composition.
The ionisation current produced by the X-rays is generally proportional to the density of the gas with which the ionisation chamber is filled. Owing to atmospheric pressure variations, the density of the gas is not always the same. In addition, deformations of the walls may affect this density and may also cause the elect-rode spacing to change. It is an object of the invention to reduce the detrimental action of these inevitable disadvantages upon the sensitivity of the ionisation chamber to a minimum. According to the invention, the depth of the ionisation chamber is so chosen that the contribution to the ionisation in the gas produced by the radiation is small as compared with the contribution thereto of the electrons emitted from the wall material or from the electrodes owing to the radiation. This result is accomplished by choosing, as a wall material, a material having a high atomic number so that the absorption of the incident radiation in the wall relative to the gas is improved, and by adjusting the depth of the chamber so that the production of ions is made substantially independent of the gas density. The ionisation current produced irrespective of the density of the gas might also be obtained by hermetically sealing the ionisation chamber; however, the manufacture of such a measuring chamber is comparatively complicated. In
addition, the difficulties of manufacture increase with increase of the gas volume enclosed and also when the walls of the chamber must be very thin for other reasons, for example, when the absorption must be small. This may be the case when the measuring chamber is arranged in close proximity to the source of radiation in the operative beam of X-rays. In the gas-tight chamber it is essential that the volume remains constant.
The difierence between the direct ionisation of the gas by the X-rays and the ionisation produced by the electrons emitted from the walls is comparatively considerable when, as a wall material, use is made of a metal of not too low an atomic number. When use is made of a metal the atomic number of which is 26 (iron) or more, for X-rays having a wave-length of about 0.1 A. the direct ionisation of the gas is negligible in practice as compared with the ionisation due to photo-emission.
The kinetic energy of the photo-electrons is smaller than the quantum energy of the X-rays by the amount of energy required to release the electrons from the material, and these electrons have a pre-determined free path length in the gas, which is substantially irrespective of the nature of the gas. When the walls of the measuring chamber are spaced apart by a distance exceeding this free path length, the photo-electrons emitted from the walls are completely decelerated in the gas volume and the number of ions produced by these electrons is independent of the density of the gas. Only the number of ions produced by absorption of X-rays in the gas volume remains dependent upon the density.
Reference is had to the accompanying drawing, which is a partly side, partly cross-sectional View of an ionisation chamber in accordance with the invention as used to measure the proper exposure time in X-ray diagnostics.
The drawing shows a flat ionisation chamber for use in an apparatus for making X-ray exposures by means of image screen photography. A non-hermetically-sealed ionisation chamber 1 is arranged between a Bucky screen 2 and a fluorescent screen 3. The focus of the X-ray tube is designated 4 and the X-rays penetrate a patient 5. The ionisation chamber contains two parallel arranged electrodes 1a and 1b which may be made of copper and which may be spaced from one another by a distance of 20 mms. In this event, the direct ionisation in the gas is less than 20% of the total amount of ions produced in the gas by irradiation with X-rays of 70 kv. which pass through a filter 6 of 10 ms. of aluminum. When the density of the gas filling, which in the case shown is air, changes by 10%, the variations of the total ionisation current is less than 2%.
What is claimed is:
1. An X-ray measuring ionization chamber comprising spaced electrodes and a non-hermetically-sealed enclosure having wall portions exposed to and defining an ionization space containing air at atmospheric pressure and subject to variations in its density and ionizable by said X-rays, said wall portions being constituted of a material whose atomic number is at least 26 and thus substantially higher than air-equivalent materials, said wall portions thus providing electrons in the ionization space when excited by incident X-radiation to a substantially greater extent than that provided by the air, the spacing between the electrodes being not less than the mean free path of said electrons in said air.
2. An ionization chamber as set forth in claim 1 wherein the wall portions are of copper and constitute the said electrodes.
3. An ionization chamber for measuring X-radiation with a wavelength of about 0.1 Angstroms, comprising spaced, parallel, copper electrodes defining an ionization space containing air at atmospheric pressure and subject References Cited in the file of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS 1,917,108 Franke July 4, 1933 4 2,032,137 Lubcke Feb. 25, 1936 2,596,080 Raper et a1.

The Winnipeg Jets are paying a visit to an old foe they've had trouble knocking off recently.
The Jets (28-25-5) will put a three-game winning streak on the line against the Washington Capitals (25-23-9), who have won the past five head-to-head meetings between former Southeast Division rivals on Thursday at the Verizon Center.
"It's another game. We've played against them a lot the past few years. We know how they play. It's a really good team," said Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec, who has allowed two goals or fewer in six of his past nine starts. "We have to play our game and I think we're going to be fine."
The Capitals defeated the Jets 5-4 in a shootout at MTS Centre on Oct. 22 in the only other meeting this season.
Jets head coach Paul Maurice saw the Capitals plenty during his days coaching in the Southeast Division, so he's got a good idea of what to expect.
"They've got the high-end skill, some big size, some guys that can move around and they're making a concerted effort to grow a solid defensive game and tighten that part up," said Maurice, whose team is 9-2 since he took over. "In some ways, it's going to be two teams that look a little bit alike. I would think that we'll see a lot of physical contact tonight and a lot of speed."
Considering their recent success, Maurice is watching for warning signs that his group may think they can just show up and win.
"You're watching for a feeling that they expect to win the next game because they played well in the last game," said Maurice. "That they start to forget about how hard they had to work. You're always watching for that."
Jets centre Mark Scheifele said there's no worries about complacency slipping into their game right now.
"Obviously, you're happy but once that game is over and done with, you look forward to the next game. That's what we're doing right now," said Scheifele. "You just want to focus on each game that's coming up and we want to continue to make that push for the playoffs.
"(The Capitals) are going to be a good test. We've been playing pretty good lately and we've got to continue with that process and continue with that attitude and we'll be good."
Jets captain Andrew Ladd skipped the morning skate again but Maurice said he was "100 per cent ready to go."
Based on the morning skate, the Jets will ice the same lineup as they have the past four games, meaning Zach Redmond and Eric O'Dell will be the healthy scratches.
Michal Neuvirth will make a fourth consecutive start for the Capitals, who are coming off a 1-0 loss to the New York Islanders and have slipped to seventh place in the Metropolitan Division standings.
With Mike Green out of the lineup with a concussion, the Capitals recalled two defencemen from the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League on Thursday morning and both Patrick Wey and Julian Brouillette will be in the lineup against the Jets.
The Capitals are also without centre Mikhail Grabovski (ankle), who has 12 goasl and 33 points in 49 games this season.

EBN Stock Index: Value hunters look to distribs for bargains
Post a comment
As their counterparts in nearly every other segment of the supply chain posted losses, electronics distributors' stocks continued their slow and steady climb last week, finishing slightly ahead of the prior week, but substantially higher than they were just two months ago.
The distribution segment of the EBN/ Thomas Weisel Supply-Chain Stock Index finished at 766.81 for the week ended May 26, a 4.28% increase from the previous week, but 56.7% higher than its level for the week ended March 24.
Despite the sharp increase, however, analysts noted that the stocks had been extremely undervalued. "A few weeks ago, most of these companies were selling at book value, which, for an electronics distributor, is basically liquidation value because most of their assets are in their inventories," said Mark Hassenberg, an analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp., New York.
"The stocks were just ridiculously cheap," Hassenberg added. "They bounced off the bottom, and are now just sitting there waiting to see if we do have a recovery in the second half of this year."
Continuing to grapple with the overcapacity and low average selling prices that have lingered in spite of the improving conditions in the Asian economies, distributors have been struggling to reduce costs and improve margins. As a result, many investors had been leery of the sector, according to Hassenberg.
Now, as the build-to-order business model continues to gain prominence among OEMs and distributors increasingly step up their efforts both as parts suppliers and providers of logistics services, some investors appear to be taking a more bullish view, Hassenberg said.
"More and more, I think the distribution industry is going to be able to take up some of those logistics concerns of their customers, gain market share, and do well," he said. "The question is: At what time do we start seeing demand improve substantially enough to be able to offset the supply and move things up?"
Also helping to lift distributors' stocks recently has been a broader move by investors into industrial stocks, Hassenberg noted.
"While they are electronics distributors, they have more of an industrial mix to them than a semiconductor company would have," he said. "So I think it's the value players just believing that these things should sell above book. It's certainly not the growth and momentum players yet, but hopefully they'll be here some time over the next year."

Senate Passes Fair And Responsible Budget Resolution
Remarks from Senate Majority Conference Leader John L. Sampson:
New York is in trouble. But for years, this Chamber talked about the problem and did nothing to fix it. They spent more than they had and stuck the people with the bill. Now, that debt is due. And a fair, responsible, and bipartisan budget is the only thing that will get the job done.
Our budget resolution makes the smart cuts and tough choices New York can afford.
It reduces the growth of spending in a responsible manner. It holds spending under the rate of inflation for just the 3rd time in 30 years. It creates good-paying jobs and attracts business through sound economic development. It provides tax relief to overburdened seniors who are being taxed out of their homes. It consolidates government to reduce costs, and make it more efficient and effective. It protects our seniors, children, the disabled, and most vulnerable residents who are disproportionately affected by the economic crisis.
And it rejects the use of any new taxes to close the budget gap! Let me say that again: we rejected $1.1 billion in new taxes.
These were not easy choices, but neither are the choices facing families across the state. We have to balance our checkbook like those families. The cuts we made did not come easily. But they were the responsible course of action, and the right thing to do for New York. Bottom line: we can't spend more than we have. We can't shift the burden to taxpayers.
We cannot let New York become California. Our budget resolution finds the common ground and bipartisan solutions to give New Yorkers a budget they can afford.
This is a first step. I am sure some advocates will be angry, but this will give us the ability to move forward with Conference Committees and an open and bipartisan budget process.
The Assembly, the Senate Minority, and the people will be heard.
The Resolution passed 32-29.

Tofutti Brands: 10-Year Historical Low with Concentration Risk
Posted by: Mark Lin (IP Logged)
Date: December 5, 2012 09:49AM
This is one in a series of articles where I will be covering most of the "30 Obscure, Profitable Stocks" listed by Geoff Gannon on his blog on Nov. 29, 2012. Many thanks to Geoff Gannon for the wonderful list of interesting stock ideas.
Tofutti Brands (TOF) is engaged in the development, production and marketing of TOFUTTI brand nondairy frozen desserts and other food products. TOFUTTI products are nondairy and soy-based, which contain no butterfat, cholesterol or lactose. Its products are 100% milk free yet offer the same texture and full-bodied taste as their dairy counterparts. Also, TOF's products are free of cholesterol and derive their fat from soy and corn, both naturally lower in saturated fat than dairy products.
TOF is currently trading at 1.59x P/B, a 33% discount to its five-year average P/B of 2.39 and this also represents a ten-year P/B low for TOF. TOF achieved a five-year average ROE of 8.1% and a five-year book value per share CAGR of 3.2%.
TOF is loss-making for the trailing 12 months. TOF's sales continue to be impacted by the decision of Trader Joe's, formerly our largest customer, to discontinue stocking branded goods in mid-2011. During the first 39 weeks of 2012, there were no sales to Trader Joe's as compared with $1,420,000 in sales in the first 39 weeks of 2011. TOF is working to replace those sales with aggressive promotional sales activities. Marketing expenses and research and development costs increased by 41% and 21%, respectively, during the same period, due to the introduction of new products.
Financial and Business Risks
TOF is debt free with cash and cash equivalents of $213,000 representing 3% of its current market capitalization of $6.2 million.
Trader Joe's, a former key customer of TOF which accounted for 19% of 2010 sales, informed TOF that they were replacing TOF's products with their own private-label substitutes. If TOF failed to make up for Trader Joe's historical revenue contributions, this could hit TOF's sales badly. Net sales for the 39 weeks ended Sept. 29, 2012 were $10,486,000, 13% lower compared with $12,072,000 in net sales for the 39 weeks ended Oct. 1, 2011. In addition, a significant portion of TOF's sales are to several large distribution companies, which as a group accounted for 35% of net sales for fiscal year 2011. In 2010, one of its major distributors, Tree of Life Inc., was purchased by Kehe Food Distributors, another of its major distributors.
TOF does not produce any of its own products; instead it depends on several key suppliers to purchase its products. It purchased 28% and 24%, respectively, of its finished goods from Ice Cream Specialties, its primary frozen dessert novelty co-packer and from Franklin Foods, its BETTER THAN CREAM CHEESE and SOUR SUPREME co-packer, respectively.
Business Quality and Capital Allocation
TOF believes that it is a leader in the nondairy frozen dessert product market and offers the most complete line of nondairy frozen dessert products. TOF's advantage over competitors is its ability to offer an array of soy-based, non-dairy frozen dessert and other food products that contain no butterfat, cholesterol or lactose and are 100% milk-free, yet offer the same texture and taste as their dairy counterparts.
TOF's dairy-free products cater to a specific segment of the consumer market. It is estimated that one out of five Americans are lactose intolerant, and the fact that lactose intolerance tends to increase with age. Also, certain medical conditions, such as asthma, kidney dysfunction and autism require dairy free diets. Furthermore, due to concerns over ethical or dietary issues, vegetarians stay away from dairy products.
TOF does not pay a dividend. TOF's board of directors has to date authorized the repurchase of 2,200,000 shares of its common stock. TOF has purchased 1,829,000 shares at a cost of $5,318,000 since the beginning of the share repurchase program.
Although TOF has created a niche for itself in the soy-based, non-dairy frozen products market, there are no barriers to entry. Moreover, TOF does not produce any of its own products and faces huge supplier and customer concentration risks. TOF has been profitable for the past 10 years, but this amazing streak could possibly come to an end this year.
The author does not have a position in any of the stocks mentioned.

Prof. Thomas Fitzpatrick Tapped to Lead Music Admissions Counseling
September 13, 1967
September 13, 1967, Greencastle, Ind. — Thomas Fitzpatrick, a member of the DePauw University School of Music faculty since 1963, is the new director of admissions counseling for the music school. Fitzpatrick will perform the admissions work on a part-time basis, devoting the majority of his time to his regular teaching duties as an assistant professor of voice.
Fitzpatrick's new responsibilities, announced today, will be under the direction of Louis Fontaine '52, director of admissions and financial aid at DePauw. Fitzpatrick will coordinate the auditioning of prospective music students, the travel arrangements of music faculty as they visit high schools, and the performances of DePauw faculty and students before high school groups. He will also promote interest in DePauw's School of Music through increased contacts with prospective students in public and private schools, with music teachers, and with alumni of the School of Music.
Fitzpatrick has a B.A. from St. Ambrose College, his B.M. from the Juilliard School of Music, an Artist Diploma from Teatro Lirico Sperimentale in Rome, and an M.M. from Indiana University. He formerly taught in Chicago, at Wisconsin State University in Stevens Point and at Indiana University. Students at the 1966 Gridiron Banquet voted him the campus' most popular professor.Back

A day out: Headland Sculpture on the Gulf on Waiheke Island
The Sculpture on the Gulf exhibition is held every 2 years on beautiful Waiheke Island near Auckland.
The Sculpture on the Gulf exhibition is held every 2 years on beautiful Waiheke Island.
It's a quick 35 minute jaunt on the ferry from downtown Auckland to Matiatia Bay on Waiheke Island. Outside the terminal (across the car park and next to exhibition pavilion) are shuttle buses which, for $5, will take you up the hill to the start of the walk, saving you a long hot walk. The walk itself is free but there are opportunities en route to make a donation that will help keep the exhibition running. The walk is 2.5km along the beautiful Waiheke coast and you'll end up back at the marquee and ferry terminal. It's mostly flat with a few uphill sections with steps so is not really suitable for buggies but if you have a backpack for the little kids, you're sorted. There is so much to look at and interact with that bigger kids are bound to complete the walk with little complaint. You'll need snacks, drinks, sun hats and sunscreen and walking shoes.
The walk was initiated in 2003 by the Waiheke Community Art Gallery with the aim to inspire and challenge New Zealand established and emerging artists and to provide an art experience for visitors to the island outside the usual gallery spaces. 10 years later, the exhibition is a permanent fixture on the summer arts calendar and has expanded to includes a large pavilion on the beach front at Matiatia Bay. You can enjoy art, music, wine and food here before or after (or both!) your walk. We got delicious local ice creams from Ice-queen Gelatos after our walk.
Some of the sculptures are to be admired without touching but lots were interactive and our group, comprising of a 3, 4 and 5 year old, enjoyed touching and exploring the different mediums and spaces.

Skullgirls arrives on PC this August
With more than $800,000 in crowdfunding under its belt, the fighting game Skullgirls is making its debut on PC on August 22.
Developer Lab Zero Games raised considerable funds on Indiegogo for the title back in March, which allowed it to continue progress on a patch for the Xbox 360 version, new characters (including male contenders to expand the mostly female cast), and the much-anticipated PC version. Skullgirls originally released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in April last year, so fans have been waiting awhile.
Marvelous AQL is publishing the PC version on Steam. The announcement was made during EVO 2013 in Los Vegas earlier today.
If August sounds too far away, you can purchase closed beta access to the game for $36.

Just as a sidenote to the topic: Why is it that numerous people use their eCAD software for making boards without starting from the schematic?
It defeats most of the purposes of, e.g., Eagle. You would be quicker with a drawing program like Illustrator - or even Paint - if You consider the learning curve. Some of the features You're really missing:
- abstraction between component functionality and physical package (packages can be exchanged while always maintaining electrical correctness),
- electrical "rule checking" (schematics can be tested for plausibility and corrected independent of board layout),
- physical "rule checking" (board layout can be adjusted independent of electrical schema),
- maintainability (schematic or board can evolve and become improved while never risking errors in other parts of the respective other files),
just to name a few... Besides that, discussing it on a forum would be a lot easier (if we had Your schematic that explicitly matches Your board) as Nordic already said.
Just my two cents, have fun!
PS: I understand that P19 is ESP's Project 19, a Chipamp that Rod Elliot made a couple of years ago, inspired by Siegfried Linkwitz's excellent amplifier project.
But still, how should we check your board against Rod's schematic. That's what Your computer is for...

It's not about complexity.
My point is: would the original poster have used a schematic in Eagle, his question could narrow down to layout beauty doubts. Electrical correctness is hard to verify on a board by looking at it. Before the question wether the board is good comes the question: Was the well-known schematic applied correctly.
Tools are there to rule out this uncertainty, and they are free and in the hands of the poster.

Hi roly,
to contribute to your question: Your power rail traces have 'regular' with, which is too narrow in this case. Make them as wide as possible, there's no need to keep a ground plane as far as to the chip.
Eagle has 'faston' connectors (which you seem to try to resemble with jumpers) in the library 'con-rib'. The 6.3mm vertical connector is named 'ST6,3', for example.
Try experimenting with larger filter capacitor packages or wider footprints (e.g. 7.5mm or 10mm), which are also available form many parts suppliers. Also, those caps look a little small for the purpose, but you might of course go with the 1000uF approach.
You also micht want to have a read about snubbed supplies for chipamps (just do a search for snubberized gain clones). You can increase filter capacitance while improving the sound, according to many DIYers.
What does LSP2 do? It might sit in an uncomfortable place. I won't stress that I knew if I had a schematic.

As sek suggested, use fast on tabs or through holes for wire connections. You can make your own, use the ones in the library, or find a nice terminal block footprint. I prefer to have the option to use terminal blocks for power, ground, and speaker connections.
Thicker power and speaker traces would be good (also as sek suggested).
I would suggest moving your volume pot in front of the opamp input buffer along with the coupling cap. This has a number of advantages. Now you can get rid of R6, C1, and C4 and change R9 to a 1kohm resistor. It will allow the low output impedance of the buffer to directly drive the input of the 3886 with better results. It also means you can use a smaller value coupling cap due to the higher input impedance of the buffer. You can now change the layout a bit to make the signal trace much shorter and have a more direct route from IC1 to the 3886 input pin. Also, add a ground connection alongside the +/- supply connections for the buffer supply.

Allright, LSP2 is signal ground.
You include a buffer and a pot connection with your chip amp. That's not Project 19. Which is why I rumbled in the first place.
Cool idea with the jumpers to set the input stage gain.
You won't need two DC blocking caps around the volume potentiometer, one at the input side of the amp section (as in P19) will be sufficient.
220uF for supply buffering is definitely too little for a 24V supply and 4-16Ohm speakers, except you use separate supply regulation/filters (which P19 requires). Other than that, it works good to have both filter caps at the same side of the chip.
As you have the buffer/preamp onboard, I would recommend a star grounding scheme instead of a ground plane. You have a ground loop around your preamp section, and the copper that connects signal ground to power ground also shares current flow with the poweramp section.
Also, you don't seem to connect the preamp supply's ground onboard - which actually requires another ground star in the supply...
You left out the fuses. That's good as long as you're okay with that and take care of safety in the main power supply.
Increasing your R9 to 3k3 will increase input impedance and thus shift input bias a little. This could result in DC output, but you could give it a try like this and experiment with the value.
Your drawup of the jumpers and connectors looks a little odd! Did you hardwire the TL's supply by hand? Look at Eagle's 'invoke' command, either in the toolbar or as a console command. It lets you place the opamp's power pins independent of the amp symbol. You didn't do that (or at least I can't seem to see it), which is why you had to be creative with the circuitry around J4/J5.
Last, not least: I already pointed out the too thin traces for power and the missing scheme for ground. This would impact sound quality and fun the most, everything else I mention is peanuts compared to the power and ground layout and wiring problems you could have.
What project would you like to use it in?
EDIT: Uh, Oh! I take it back. Brian's suggestion with the pot will influence the sound the most! (He was quicker typing than me ) But everything else is still important...

text: I just bought this head last week and it works great, great sound for the money. I'm running it through an Orange sp410 cab. However, I played 3 gigs this weekend and in all three gigs the amp got a burning smell. It never stop working, the sound was always good, but the smell was there, specially at the first gig. I read a post about the amp having a little bit dust inside, which seems to be the case because the smell wasn't as strong last night. Should I take it to a tech or should I keep playing it? Thanks.

After LeMay finished high school in the Midwest, she packed up her Firebird and told her family she was moving to California to be an actor. "My parents thought I was going to come right back, but I didn't," she recalls. "That was seven years ago. I barely spoke any English, and I didn't know what a headshot and résumé was. I watched TV with no subtitles, went to acting school to meet people, and talked to everyone I could until I got better at speaking English. But I kept the accent."
One day, LeMay picked up a copy of Back Stage at a bookstore. A casting notice for a short film caught her eye. "Many times I see casting calls for 5-foot-9, modellike, gorgeous, perfect women," she says. "I am not those things. This notice stuck out." It called for someone shorter in stature who had the ability to take direction and experience in improv and movement. Plus, the job was for pay. Intrigued, LeMay submitted and was emailed an audition time.
At the audition, she met the casting coordinator and the director. "There were no lines, so the director just directed me, to see how I took to it," LeMay says. "He was very precise and made it easy for me. I just followed what he said. They told me they were very happy and that I was exactly what they were looking for. I left feeling very confident and excited."
The casting coordinator, who helped pick LeMay from about 30 women, remembers thinking she was perfect for the part. "We were impressed by her intensity. We were looking for someone who could move a certain way, and she had very good movement technique. We also needed someone who could stay in character. That was very important. And Lauren stayed in character the entire audition. She really seemed to register what the director was after and interpret it, and she seemed very confident and comfortable. Also, she was on time, which is super-important."
There were supposed to be callbacks, but instead LeMay was offered the part based on her initial audition. "When I showed up on set, I felt so confident, because I had such a good experience at the audition," she says. "The role was like nothing I've ever done before, the director made me comfortable, and it was fun. In the past, sometimes I wouldn't know what to do on set, but he was very positive and gave me confidence."
Now a Back Stage subscriber, when LeMay sees roles for the tall, perfect model types, she doesn't get discouraged. "There are a lot of roles out there for people who look like me," she says. "And I don't have to be an itsy-bitsy girl wearing a bathing suit. I actually get to act."
LeMay is repped by Jack Scagnetti, and her website is www.laurenlemay.com.
Has Back Stage helped you get cast in the past year? We'd love to tell your story. Be in the weekly column by emailing email@example.com for New York or firstname.lastname@example.com for Los Angeles with "I Got the Part" in the subject line.

Cambridge Pixel (www.cambridgepixel.com),
a developer of sensor processing and display solutions, has enhanced its
RadarView Windows-based radar visualisation software tool to allow
complex map and charts, for example, electronic navigation charts (ENC),
tiled maps, world vector shoreline, and raster images, to be displayed
with the primary radar video.
By adding this capability, RadarView users will be able to not only
capture, display and record primary radar and camera video but also to
validate and interpret the results based on the map and chart data now
David Johnson, managing director, Cambridge Pixel, said: "RadarView is a
cost-effective tool for anyone - laboratories, researchers, and other
radar end users - that requires a low cost, ready-to-run primary radar
display application. In fact, with the map and chart overlay capability
providing the context, RadarView could also now be deployed as a basic
sensor display system, shipboard radar console or a port display system!
"We see RadarView as a flexible tool that's a useful addition for any
radar user's armoury - a bit like the oscilloscope is for the
electronics test engineer. It can be used to set-up, calibrate, support
and maintain a radar display or to record radar data durng a mission or
research expedition."
Other enhancements to RadarView include interference suppression to
reduce the display corruption that can occur when similar radars are
operated nearby, and adaptive noise removal to improve the appearance of
the radar video by selective removal of background clutter.
RadarView receives, processes and scan converts multiple channels of
radar video in normal PPI (plan position indicator) view, and, for more
specialist requirements, supports B-Scan and A-Scan formats - the latter
is especially useful for radar configuration and set-up.
The ready-to-run RadarView software also allows radar video and camera
images to be viewed in multiple windows (up to 5) using standard PC and
graphics technology, which allows for considerable flexibility in
hosting on low-cost hardware and distributing the radar image remotely
using standard Windows capabilities.
"RadarView is already used for a multitude of different applications
from ship-based geological research to laboratory-based radar test
systems," added David Johnson. "Kelvin Hughes (News - Alert), for example, uses
RadarView as a radar display for set up and maintenance of a shore-based
radar system."
RadarView is part of Cambridge Pixel's world-leading SPx suite of
software libraries and applications which provide highly flexible,
ready-to-run software products or 'modules-of-expertise' for radar
visualisation, radar video distribution, plot extraction and target
tracking. This provides a powerful set of processing and display
components for capture and presentation of radar video using the
capabilities of modern multi-core processors and graphics processor
units (GPUs).
Cambridge Pixel's engineering team has decades of experience of
developing complex radar processing and display systems for naval, air
traffic control, vessel traffic, security and airborne radar

Nobody escapes from childhood unscathed, and this month, the new adult novels feature heroes and heroines trying—and usually failing—to put their unhappy pasts behind them. From mobster families, to dead families, to absent and neglectful families, there's plenty of domestic drama to drive the plot. And by finding new loves, these scarred men and women can look forward to starting healthier families of their own.
Rachel Van Dyken's Entice, third in the Eagle Elite series, is a mafia-themed, marriage-of-convenience story. The heroine Mil De Lange recently took control of her mafia family, and she feels that marriage to her childhood sweetheart Chase Winter will cement her leadership. Chase, who feels guilty for the way he used her when they were younger, agrees to her proposition. Mil soon realizes that she might have gotten more than she bargained for with Chase, who is no longer a boy but an alpha male whom she simultaneously loves and hates. She struggles to reconcile her feelings and keep her family in line at the same time.
Keegan, the heroine of Bender by Stacy Borel, is a twenty-year-old nursing student who can't concentrate on her studies because of her dysfunctional family life. So she moves out of her childhood home and into an apartment with Camden, a sexy as hell gym owner with control issues. Keegan's got some issues of her own (particularly about her body image), but she doesn't let Camden push her around. As much as the roommates seem to despise each other, they can't deny their raw physical attraction, and since they already live together, it's even harder for them to keep their hands off of each other. As an added bonus, readers greatly enjoyed the gym sex.
Asher by Jo Raven features a hero and heroine who were childhood sweethearts. They grew up next door to each other and shared their first kiss, but tragedy tore them apart. When Audrey returns to town for college, Asher is still there, struggling with his anger over his relationship with his abusive father. If she can find some way to reach him, she might be able to save him from self-destructing. And he can save her from her grief over her own childhood tragedies. They're two tortured souls who get a second chance at a happily ever after.
After college, Anna Cortez, the heroine of Phenomenal X by Michelle Valentine, flees to her aunt's home in Michigan to get away from her controlling father. On the plane, she meets a famous wrestler named Xavier Cold, a.k.a. Phenomenal X, and they feel an instant connection. Instead of taking her to his bed, he decides to protect her—even from men like himself. When he hires her as his personal assistant, however, the boundary lines get blurred, particularly when they end up sharing a bed.
Liz Carmichael, the heroine of Pretty Instinct by S.E. Hall, is a musician travelling around the country with her uncle, foster brothers, and disabled younger brother. Her mother died, and her father betrayed them, so she feels responsible for her family. They're in desperate need of a guitar player, and they find Cannon Blackwell on a park bench. With some hesitation, she invites him into their inner circle, and slowly but surely, they begin to fall in love.
Faye, the heroine of Dragon's Lair by Chantal Fernando, is a law student from a good family. When her boyfriend cheats on her, she makes a mistake and has revenge sex with her ex's brother Dex. Dex is in a Motorcycle Club, and she definitely never viewed him as long-term mate potential, but then she ends up pregnant and kicked out of her house by her family. She seeks refuge with Dex and his MC, but adjusting to such a completely different lifestyle is more difficult than she ever anticipated. Plus, Dex has a secret that could tear him away from Faye and their unborn child.
In Satan's Property by Celia Loren, the heroine Violet Avery is a nursing student who's happy with her life and her marriage until her father, the president of the Devil's Army MC, dies and her husband Rooster takes over. Rooster has a dark side that Violet never anticipated, and he trades her to Satan's Sons MC as collateral. The members of Satan's Sons, who live in an abandoned lunatic asylum, have a reputation as sexual sadists. Violet is terrified of what her future might hold, but then she meets Drifter, a former soldier and a member of Satan's Sons who vows to protect Violet and claim her as his own.

So much packed into an hour. Insane.
I honestly can not get enough of this.
What can't you do?
as phat as this edit is, he lands loads sketchy loads, and there are too many lip tricks, but still great to watch
good edit chris
mad clean dude big tricks webb is sick idc what you guys say
what's the first song called
Edit is sick, i know we all expect to see new stuff never done before from Webb, but he had 60 mins to film a power hour, he cant spend 60 mins trying to make one new trick.
In the last 3 edits he has put out there have been many new tricks, and in the power hour the disaster to half cab nose wheelie on (2.41) wasn't bad, and he did heck of a lot that nobody else can do in the edit.
Its why you ride not HOW you ride.Have fun , Ride bikes.
well put!
where i can download 1st song?
because i from Russia and i can`t find this song.
ahahaahaha "30 mins of footy" absolute troll alert.
webb is ridiculous, opposite downside whip to x-up, decade air absolute insanity packed into 60minutes, it's impossible. he may be a robot, but he's one amazing one at that
Downwhip X-up !
was that a downwhip to x-up or a downwhip to bars at the end?
For people wanting to know the songs.
1st:Daniel Goodwin - Nearest Phone Booth
2nd: Libertine - If wishes were horses
mark webb > style its nice to see people still pushing the sport instead of doing the same old tricks for style points
Webbie shredding hard as usual!
jew boy, you're a fool!
7 minutes of footy from just one hour of riding is a lot! and it's not just some random footy, it's some really really really good stuff
sick power hour webbie
got to be honest tho, i expected to see some more mind-blowing stuff, but nevertheless it's still crazy and especially cause the amount of footy
Nice. What is that second song?
Great tricks, but I didn't like the fact that most of them were performed in the same ramp, a little monotonous.

Dana White, the UFC's outspoken president, likes to call Albuquerque's Greg Jackson "a businessman."
If that's true, he's a reluctant one.
"I can't stand it," Jackson, one of the world's most successful MMA trainers, says regarding the financial aspects of running one of the world's most successful MMA gyms.
"I can't stand any of it. I just want to do the part that I love (training fighters)."
Fortunately, regarding the business, Jackson has plenty of help.
His wife, Stephanie, keeps the books.
"I manage the finances, yeah," she says. "Greg has never cared about the financial side of it."
Ricky Kottenstette, general manager at Jackson-Winkeljohn Mixed Martial Arts, runs the gym.
"Basically," Kottenstette says, "I'm coordinating between managers, agents, fight promotions, the gym, coaches, monies, the financial side. I basically traffic-direct all that stuff."
Mike Winkeljohn, the other half of Jackson-Winkeljohn, makes sure fighters pay their dues.
"I don't like that dynamic between me and the fighters," Jackson says. "I don't like asking them for money. Thank goodness, Wink's taken a lot of it over. I'm so happy about that, because Wink, he is a business guy. He wakes up for it and goes to bed the same way."
While there might be tons of money to be made in MMA, Stephanie Jackson says, her husband isn't making as much of it as some might think – at least, not from the pro gym itself.
"Not at all," she says, when asked if Greg Jackson is getting rich from the profits at Jackson-Winkeljohn. "… I don't know any coaches that make a lot of money."
Fighters' purses vary widely from organization to organization, and even within the UFC. There is no typical payment.
Jackson-Winkeljohn's Jon Jones, the UFC light heavyweight champion and generally acknowledged as the best fighter pound for pound in the sport, made a reported $400,000 for his victory in April over Glover Teixeira.
At the June 7 UFC Fight Night Card at Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque's Diego Sanchez was paid $140,000 – half of that for fighting, the other half for taking a victory by hotly disputed decision over Englishman Ross Pearson.
John Dodson, Sanchez and Jones' Jackson-Winkeljohn teammate, is the No. 1 UFC challenger in his weight class. But he made only $40,000 – $20,000 for fighting, $20,000 for winning – for his June 7 victory over John Moraga.
Winkeljohn and Greg Jackson typically get 10 to 15 percent of a fighter's official earnings, Stephanie Jackson says. Customarily, they'll share that split with Brandon Gibson and Mike Valle, who also coach at Jackson-Winkeljohn.
"It doesn't add up to Greg making a lot of money," Stephanie Jackson says.
Nor, says Kottenstette, is the gym itself a gold mine.
Kottenstette came to Jackson as a student in 1997. Not always able to pay, he made himself useful by helping organize Jackson's finances at his old gym on San Mateo Place Northeast.
"I helped him set up his first billing system, because he never had one," Kottenstette says. "Everything was just, 'Hey, pay me when you can.'"
Things are far more structured now, Kottenstette says, but the bottom line hasn't changed all that much.
"Most people think we're rolling in money," he said. "But with the bigger operation and the bigger amount of people that are in here, it takes more people to run it.
"A certain portion of (the gym dues) goes to the overhead – lighting, electricity, insurance. You'd be surprised at how much insurance costs in a facility where guys beat the crap out of each other."
Yet, Jackson has other revenue streams.
He conducts seminars. He's a published author, having written two books on MMA: "The Ground Game" and "The Standup Game." He teaches self-defense to military and police, and has been an advisor on movie sets and TV productions.
In addition to their pro gym in southeast Albuquerque, the Jacksons have their Martial Arts & Fitness Academy in the Northeast Heights.
"Those are two separate entities, two separate businesses," Kottenstette says.
There's also the Jackson's MMA Association, founded to distribute an MMA curriculum Jackson has developed.
"We developed this curriculum and we started selling it around the world," Kottenstette says. "Jackson's MMA Association enables people from all around the world, at a very reasonable price, to come together to learn Greg's knowledge."
When White called Jackson a businessman, he didn't mean it as a compliment. He was suggesting that the Albuquerquean's reputation as an almost monastic devotee of the martial arts was a fraud.
Not so, say those close to him. He's a teacher first, they say, a competitor second, a businessman somewhere far down the line.
"Greg is such a nice guy," says Kottenstette, "that a lot of these (fighters) will come to him, and say, 'Hey, Greg, I've got this going on in my life, this is happening in my personal life and I can't catch a break.'
"Greg never got into the sport for money, so he'll give every single one of those guys a pass in there."
If there's a businessman within the tandem of Jackson and Winkeljohn, it's not Jackson.
Winkeljohn and his wife, Heather, have their own gym in far Northeast Albuquerque, where they teach MMA and self-defense. Winkeljohn has a degree in business administration from the University of New Mexico and operates a commercial contracting business.
"Wink will put the hammer down and say (to fighters), 'Hey, you've got to pay,'" Kottenstette says. "Since Wink's kind of started to head that part of the program up, a lot more guys are paying now.
"Our goal is to have 100 percent on that, but at the same time, that goes against what Greg has always been about, and that's helping people."
Helping fighters would be an easier task in a bigger, newer expanse than is provided by the current, cramped, dark and dingy pro gym on Acoma SE. Winkeljohn is in charge of that project, as well.
"Our hopes and dreams," Winkeljohn says, "are early next year to have a new, modern facility that shows Albuquerque what the rest of the world already knows: that this is where people come to train for MMA."

The Field Archaeology of Dartmoor Paperback
by Phil Newman
The modern visitor to Devon, travelling west into the region, is greeted by a panorama of the high ground and rocky outcrops of Dartmoor.
In a county renowned for its `rolling hills', Dartmoor's high moors, topped by granite tors, preside over the massive folds of its peripheral valleys, incised by the fast-moving moorland rivers and streams as they flow towards the hinterland.
Dartmoor was designated as one of England's first National Parks in 1951.
It is this natural beauty and tranquil, rural landscape that initially attracts visitors, but a fuller appreciation of this landscape is enhanced by knowledge of its cultural past. Dartmoor is southern England's largest upland tract, often promoted as `England's last wilderness'.
Nevertheless it is a maintained landscape. Its management began with traditional forms of hill farming and woodland management in the Neolithic, and continues to the present day. The Field Archaeology of Dartmoor describes and narrates Dartmoor's landscape history from 4000 BC to the present, analysing and summarising archaeological and historical studies from the 19th century onwards. A brief section describes Dartmoor's geological shape.
Then its prehistoric settlement, Romano-British organisation, medieval character and early tin industry are described in turn.
Next, Dartmoor's 19th- and 20th-century industrial landscape and heritage (tin, copper, silver-lead and China clay), and how they co-existed with traditional forms of upland farming, are described.
Subsidiary industries (peat, gunpowder mills, ice works and tramways) and the moor's use for military training bring the narrative up to the present.
A concluding summary assesses Dartmoor's history and ponders its future.

Toscin for 'young men in a hurry' with apologies to F.M. Cornford's Microcosmographia Academica: Being a Guide for the Young Academic Politician
The politics of getting published, promoted, and tenured is serious stuff. The International Journal of Economics and Accounting will help scholars in this struggle. It is important however not to waste space here with platitudes and cliches. We will use the opportunity to deliver a few cautions, lessons, and 'unpleasant truths' (but in true North American style, there will be a happy ending – for some). The paper interweaves its arguments about the present with quotations from a classic 'blast from the past' (1908 to be exact): F.M. Cornford's Microcosmographia Academica: Being a Guide for the Young Academic Politician. This work is a sober reminder that there is nothing new under the sun.

About 9 months ago I got a Squier VM fretless with passive EMG's....it's a great sounding bass and I love it. Once I got it, I was finally able to get my fretted worked on...it had some wiring issues. So...I got my fretted back this Sunday before we played and I decided to play it instead of my fretless. I was absolutley amazed at how much better of a fretted player I was! So...is it just me, or does playing fretless really improve your fretted playing? It was pretty cool....I was all over the neck, blasting double stops all over the place and it was all effortless! Our worship leader even said....I love that bass! I was just curious if anyone else has had this type of experience.

The AA
As the UK's largest motoring organisation the AA has been assisting motorists for over 100 years. The company was founded in 1905 as a body initially intended to help motorists avoid police speed traps. As motoring became more popular, so did we, and our activities have continued to expand into a wide variety of areas. In 1910 we published the very first AA routes with handwritten details, and by 1929 we were issuing an impressive 239,000 routes a year.
From 1912 we also started inspecting hotels and those receiving our famous AA star classification were included in subsequent editions of the Member's Handbook. We annually inspect and rate over 8,000 hotels and guest accommodations, and review more than 4,000 restaurants and pubs, all of which are showcased in our annual lifestyle guides.
Since the 1990's we have dramatically expanded our publishing activity to produce best-selling atlases, maps, travel and leisure guides for the UK and the rest of the world. We also publish a diverse range of walking, cycling, lifestyle and driving test guides and have now complimented our books with a complete range of kits and accessories for the car and home.

Leroux continues rehab process at Triple-A
Leroux continues rehab process at Triple-A
PITTSBURGH -- Chris Leroux has already spent 69 days on the 60-day disabled list with what had been described as a rare injury for a pitcher. But the right-hander could be nearing a return. Leroux, who strained a right pectoral muscle pitching in Philadelphia in the final preseason game, has been assigned to Indianapolis to continue his rehab with the Triple-A affiliate. In his first rehab outing, on Wednesday with Class A Bradenton, Leroux made a sharp three-inning start, allowing two hits and one run while walking one and striking out two.
With the Indians, Leroux will work out of the bullpen. Indianapolis manager Dean Treanor will look for opportunities to give the righty multiple innings. "He's healthy, ready to go," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said of Leroux. "We anticipate building him up, stretching him out, get him in situations where he can throw a volume of pitches." Leroux, the 28-year-old Canadian native who has appeared in the Majors in parts of the last three seasons with the Marlins and the Pirates, is a trained reliever. He has pitched out of the bullpen in each of his 51 Major League games, and 212 of Leroux's 224 Minor League appearances also came in relief.

Welch has set off a Blue on Blue battle that is going to distract from the midterm elections.
Score another one for the first T with the ruling that job protection for teachers' unions violates the California Constitution.
This isn't really new. A simmering civil war between municipal unions and minority groups was mostly put on the back burners in the interests of maintaining a liberal coalition, but there have been flare ups recently.
These days it's a civil war between technocrats who want to shake up public education and union protectionists. And the ruling only went this far because sizable chunks of the Democratic establishment are in the technocrat camp.
A California judge ruled Tuesday that teacher tenure laws deprived students of their right to an education under the State Constitution and violated their civil rights. The decision hands teachers' unions a major defeat in a landmark case, one that could radically alter how California teachers are hired and fired and prompt challenges to tenure laws in other states.
"Substantial evidence presented makes it clear to this court that the challenged statutes disproportionately affect poor and/or minority students," Judge Rolf M. Treu of Los Angeles Superior Court wrote in the ruling. "The evidence is compelling. Indeed, it shocks the conscience."
The decision, which was enthusiastically endorsed by Education Secretary Arne Duncan, brings a close to the first chapter of the case, Vergara v. California, in which a group of student plaintiffs backed by a Silicon Valley millionaire argued that state tenure laws had deprived them of a decent education by leaving bad teachers in place.
In his sharply worded 16-page ruling, Judge Treu compared the Vergara case to the historic desegregation battle of Brown v. Board of Education, saying that the earlier case addressed "a student's fundamental right to equality of the educational experience," and that this case involved applying that principle to the "quality of the educational experience."
He agreed with the plaintiffs' argument that California's current laws make it impossible to remove the system's numerous low-performing and incompetent teachers, because the tenure system assures them a job essentially for life; that seniority rules requiring the newest teachers to be laid off first were harmful; and that granting tenure to teachers after only two years on the job was farcical, offering far too little time for a fair assessment of the teacher's skills.
The presence of Arne Duncan here tells you all you need to know. This is the Obama camp. That camp is opposed by politicians even further on the left such as Bill de Blasio.
And don't expect this conflict to end any time soon.
David Welch, a Silicon Valley technology magnate, spent several million dollars to create the organization that brought the Vergara case to court — Students Matter — and paid for a team of high-profile lawyers, including Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., who helped win a Supreme Court decision striking down California's same-sex marriage ban. While the next move is still unclear, the group is considering filing lawsuits in New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Oregon, New Mexico, Idaho and Kansas as well as other states with powerful unions where legislatures have defeated attempts to change teacher tenure laws.
This is where things get interesting. The unions have sizable war chests, but they didn't expect to have to use them like this.
Welch has set off a Blue on Blue battle that is going to distract from the midterm elections. Few edu unions are going to be thinking about putting more Dems in Congress if they have to worry about being gutted by their own.
Also this means that the growing trend of teachers' unions donating to Republicans, even Tea Party Republicans, will increase, and not just in red states. The unions can either go further to the left, but there are only so many De Blasios they can elect. In some cases they will have to go to the right.
You would have expected the White House to put the brakes on this, at least with the unfortunate timing, but a lot of the shots are called by the big donors these days, and their biggest issue, after Global Warming, is education reform.
Obama needs to at least make some gestures in that direction to keep his technocratic image, which nets money and keeps him afloat with the media. If he starts looking like a machine politician, he's toast.
In the long run this will change very little. The corruption is structural and embedded unions will always have the inside track. Welch proved that if you spend enough time and money, and enlist powerful liberal allies, you can shake them, but nobody is getting rid of them. And California municipal unions have already proven that they can be very dangerous enemies.
Finally, the ruling is a joke, but that's because the entire principle of disproportionate impact is an unconstitutional farce. You can also apply it to so many things that it could be used to outlaw and invalidate anything and everything.

That is odd. I don't see this on numpy 1.0.3, recentish scipy SVN (maybe up to a week ago), Python 2.5.1, Intel Mac OS X. Both your code and the code for mannwhitneyu() look fine to me. Can you give us similarly-detailed information about the platform you are running on? If you used binary builds, also please let us know where you got them from, too. We have had problems in the past with numpy not freeing memory for array scalars, but I think that was before the 1.0 release. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

If the stock market has been a party in 1995, nowhere have the champagne corks popped more loudly than among initial public offerings.
So: Here's to Netscape Communications, an Internet venture that rose 167 percent during its first day. Here's to Redhook Ale, a Seattle microbrewer, up 68 percent since its debut in mid-August. And then there's Premisys Communications, a maker of telecommunications equipment, up an astonishing sixfold since April.

He started with fake ads for dryer lint and old aluminum foil, but quickly realized casual sex would bait more chumps.
Over one year of unemployment, Los Angeles civil attorney Henry Russell posted 150 prank ads seeking sex on Craigslist. The result is his first book, Craigslist Casual Encounters: The Hilarious and Disturbing World of Seeking Sex Online.
In it, the 37-year-old collects his 29 best ads. Among the most PG-rated are the man who tries to pimp his wife for Lakers tickets and a woman hoping to get it on in a bear suit with a jar of honey and video camera nearby.
Posted in 50 U.S. states, the ads provoked more than 6,000 responses, mostly from "lonely men looking for sex," Mr. Russell said.
"I tried to push them as far as I could and some were really willing to go to extreme lengths just for physical contact," said the author, who uses a pseudonym after he received hate mail and threats from some of the would-be lovers, none of whom is identified in the book.
He spoke with The Globe and Mail about some of his favourite ads.
I'm a Guitar Hero groupie! - 19 - W4M
"I want to invite 3 guys over and have a competition. You three battle it out, and the one with the highest score wins me."
135 responses
Rock bands have groupies - why can't Guitar Hero superstars have groupies? So many people take that game so seriously, they were Guitar Hero nerds talking about their scores. It just amazed them that someone was interested in combining their two top interests in the world, Guitar Hero and sex. It just blew them away.
Single mother needs some lovin - 26 - W4M
"I'm lookin for someone that can come over to my place for something fun but quick. I can't drive because my son is here sleeping."
244 responses
I would respond by telling them they had to put the baby outside on the porch or lock them in the bathroom. I recall one person saying, "I don't feel comfortable coming over if you're going to have to lock your kid up outside," but I think everyone else was agreeable with an arrangement like that. I gradually changed my responses. Now, the baby was going to be in the same room with us. It's disappointing that guys were okay with that.
It's late and I'm hungry - 21 - W4M
"I'm home from the bars, without a car and dying for some Taco Bell. If someone would be willing to pick me up a volcano tacos, baja chalupa, and a pepsi, I would be forever thrilled."
109 responses
That was one of my favourites. It was a lot of fun because the guys would respond and ask to see a photo, so I would send them photos of the food I wanted. Most people were willing to do it. I think some guys were hoping for sex even though the ad explicitly said there would be no sex. I think at that time of night, some guys are just lonely and happy with any kind of contact.
Punch you in the face - 22 - W4M
"This isn't for sex or anything like that. I just want to punch you in the face, but am open to other ideas if you have any. I would bring my best friend along just to be safe."
295 responses
Some of the guys weren't willing to be punched in the face but a lot of them were. I had this really long conversation with a guy. At some point, I just kind of dropped it but he kept e-mailing me. His final comment was how disappointed he was that he couldn't even get punched in the face on Craigslist. Some guys are happy just even having a fist on their face.
Furry Sex (extreme roleplaying) - 32 - W4M
"What I would like to do is have each of us dress up in bear costumes. I'll fix up my bedroom with forest decorations to give the whole scene some more authenticity."
50 responses
There were people who claimed to have some experience with that. That just shows the lengths people are willing to go to have sex: dressing up in a bear suit and being videotaped in my living room. I had guys hoping to call me, ready to audition their bear growls.
Your assignment - 26 - W4M
"In 4-6 sentences describe what you would do to me to make my toes curl. I am not looking for lengthy responses, so keep it within the length requirements, and please refrain from using run-on sentences."
237 responses
That one was very similar to my "Six word story." I'm asking men to convince me why I should pick them with a writing assignment. People tried; they put a little more effort into their responses.
[Overall]the results weren't surprising, I guess. They were disappointing. For the most part, men are on that site looking for casual sex and they're willing to do almost anything to get it.
