Mancini: Europa League is great
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes the Europa League is now ''a great competition'' as his side prepare to face Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of the last-16.
Mancini feels his team will have to be at their best if they are to win the trophy and end a 35-year trophy drought, especially in Kiev where Dynamo have not lost in six UEFA home matches since a 2-1 Champions League group stage defeat by Barcelona in December 2009.
''The Europa League is a great competition,'' he said. ''There are big teams in it. You can get to the quarter-finals and meet an important team.
''There are a lot of well-known sides in the competition. All the teams we can play usually play in the Champions League. It is a little Champions League. All the teams are big ones.''
Mancini would love two trophies as well as a place in the Champions League next season - as his side face Reading in their next game in the FA Cup on Sunday - but knows it will be tough.
He said: ''We will try to reach the final if it is possible, both in the Europa League and the FA Cup. It depends on our players recovering their strength.''
Spanish forward David Silva is only too aware of the difficulty facing City at the Valeriy Lobanovskiy Stadium. He played and scored there in the 2008-09 UEFA Cup but Valencia went out on the away goals rule.
Silva recalled: ''It's a difficult place to go to. We got a 1-1 draw so we didn't do too badly. They're a difficult team and at their stadium it's very tough but we're excited about our chances of going through.''

With the popularity of the internet and social media venues, the art of face-to-face networking has all but taken a back seat when it comes to networking. For decades I have tried to instill in my daughters the value of networking with minimal success.
For a business, networking is about expanding opportunities and building valuable and beneficial relationships. While social media venues are useful and convenient, it should not be one or the other, but both face-to-face networking and a social media presence when it comes to marketing your service or product. Most business owners know networking is important but often don't fully understand how to do it effectively and feel it requires more time than they have to spare.
Yes, networking does require a certain amount of time and patience, and you may not always see an immediate return on your efforts, but if done carefully it can have a direct payoff. Networking is not about walking into a room and selling; it is about building long-lasting relationships with others who can help you expand your outreach and resources.
The most obvious networking opportunities are joining chambers and attending their mixers, joining boards, volunteering in the community and continually informing the people you interact with about your product or service.
The old "elevator speech" technique of being able to convey your message in a few seconds works if you have carefully constructed phrases that generate sufficient interest to enlist a response from the listener that includes "got a card, give me a call or here is my card."
If you don't already know the value of networking and you are already crunched for time, you are probably asking why would you add yet another task to your already busy schedule. Here are a few tips other business owners have found useful and beneficial.
When interacting with potential supporters or clients, have a strategy that focuses on who you want to meet to expand your outreach. Engage in meaningful conversations and look for ways to help others by having a tip or other useful information handy. Move strategically through the room talking to as many people as possible.
Follow up with contacts made through phone calls or schedule a meeting. Integrate face-to-face networking with your social media networking. The broader your strategy, the more knowledge you can tap into.
Your goal should be to use networking to give your business a boost in traffic, reputation and sales.
Networking can be successful and beneficial financially and in non-monetary terms if you take the time to develop your strategy and take the attitude of "how can I connect with someone who broadens my reach?" Making connections is crucial, but the follow-through is equally or more important. Put your game face on, be personable, considerate and caring. Invest the time and energy and you will see results.
Competition is stiff, networking has changed and continues to evolve; so should you.
Times are changing, and so is networking.

Please excuse my lack of computer knowledge, but I can't seem to figure out how to post this photo on this post. I can't post it in the gallery because it was deleted by the powers that be as a duplicate (even though it's a basket and the other photo was just the cookies). Anyway, I did this one for a friend for the cost of the ingredients/materials and I'm looking to do some more of these baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I don't know how to price them. One person told me to multiply the $ of the materials/cookies by 3. Does that sound right? What would you expect to pay for this basket just by looking at it. It has 18 cookies in it. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
If you went with the going rate of $1 per inch for each cookie, you could add them all up and then add the cost of the basket and other materials. Once you've got that figure, decide if it's too high or too low and adjust accordingly.
For a really high-end price for cookies and cookie bouquets, check out "Cookies by Design".
Gemini, when you say one dollar per inch, is that height? width?
Gemini, when you say one dollar per inch, is that height? width?
If it's a 3" round or square cookie, it would be $3. If it's 2"x3" cookie, it would be $2.50 (an average of width and height). Keep in mind, too, it's just a guide to help you with pricing. How you decorate the cookie will be important, as well. A cookie with only two colors is a lot easier and quicker to do than the same size cookie with 4 colors. If there's lots of detail and outlining, that would impact the cost. Lastly, where you live will be a huge factor in how much you charge. What's reasonable on the coast could be horribly expensive in the midwest.
I'd say like 3 to 5 dollars per cookie. Plus cost of packaging.
I did a 12 cookie wedding bouquet and charged $45.00, so for 18 cookies, I would say $55.00.

Crews battle to contain 'very dangerous' B.C. fire
CTV.ca News Staff
Published Tuesday, August 4, 2009 9:35PM EDT
Firefighters in B.C. are still trying to get a handle on a raging wildfire that is burning on three different fronts.
The massive 900-hectare fire lit up the side of Mount McLean overnight, creating a spectacular light show on the slope above the town.
Crews performed a controlled burn overnight to try and remove fuel from the path of the fire, but said it was still uncontained as of Tuesday morning.
"This is a very dangerous wildfire still," Garry Horley, fire information officer for the District of Lillooet, told CTV News Channel.
"In fact we're now fighting this fire on three different fronts, each of which is moving independently."
He said the top priority for firefighters is the east flank, just above the town of Lillooet.
Fire officials have made use of a "pretty successful" controlled burn, Horley said, in front of the path of the fire.
"We want to remove fuel in front of the path of the fire, so it has nothing left to burn," Horley said.
He said firefighters had completed three-quarters of the controlled burn late Monday and it was hoped they could finish tonight.
Horley also said high temperatures and a month-long severe drought have created prime conditions for the fire to thrive.
And because the fire is burning on the side of a mountain, there's very little area where ground crews can actually approach the fire. As a result, most of the battle is being fought from the air, with 16 helicopters helping out.
"We're seeing fire intensity that is rather uncommon," he said.
Most of the 2,500 residents of Lillooet have been evacuated. Those remaining have been put on alert and warned to be ready to go at any time, said Jerry Sucharyna, another information officer for the district.
He said the fire is approaching the community but has so far been kept at a safe distance.
"They've ensured that it hasn't spread to the District of Lillooet. It remains about a one-kilometre radius from the municipal boundaries," Sucharyna said.
Federal assistance ready: Harper
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that federal disaster assistance is available for B.C. as it fights hundreds of fires.
"Obviously, this is a very worrisome situation. We're watching this very closely," Harper said.
"We're always willing to provide whatever resources we can provide."
Harper made the comments in metro Vancouver during a press conference with B.C Premier Gordon Campbell.
Campbell said applying for aid falls behind protecting people and property on the province's agenda.
Harper said the federal relief act kicks in automatically once a certain amount of damage is done.
"Do we expect it to be triggered in this case? I would think so," he said.
"But obviously the concern right now is less. . .about cost and just about making sure that this problem is effectively tackled."
B.C. has experienced more than 2,000 fires this summer, mostly due to unseasonably high temperatures and dry weather.
Evacuees are reportedly being bused to Kamloops. Three nearby First Nations communities have also been evacuated.
Firefighters from as far away as Quebec and Ontario have been brought in to help fight the nearby wildfires, and officials said Monday they were considering bringing in help from as the U.S. and even Australia.
Other wildfires burning elsewhere in the province have also forced evacuations.
About 2,500 residents near Okanagan Lake spent a second night away from home over the weekend due to a growing fire on Terrace Mountain near Vernon. And roughly 120 residents of Brookmere, 120 kilometres south of Kamloops, have fled because of a third fire.
Elsewhere in the province, residents were ordered out of their homes near Bella Coola late Monday as two fired burned on the Central Coast. And just as crews contained a wildfire on Blackcomb Mountain above Whistler Village on Monday, another blaze broke out.
Horley said rain, and lots of it, is what the province needs most.
"It's going to take an awful lot to cool this fire down and there will be crews on this fire until winter I'm sure," he said.
"It's a very large fire, it's stubborn and we have to get control of the perimetres and mop up the inside of the fire as the days progress."

This summer's pick is a time-traveling mystery about an FBI agent transported to 1815 - she's desperate to get home to the 21st century, but when a dead body is found at the manor house where she's living, her crime-solving skills kick in. With shades of Outlander and The DaVinci Code, plus a truly creepy villain, A Murder in Time is a perfect book to take to the beach or the pool (just don't drop your eReader!).

Ashley Madison, a dating website explicitly for those who are already in a relationship (their tagline is "Life is Short. Have an Affair") have analyzed the astrological signs of their members to determine which star sign is most likely to cheat. Here's what they found:
- Among men, Pisces are the most likely to cheat, while, among women, Geminis are the least faithful.
- Aquarius and Cancer are the next most likely men to cheat; Aries and Virgo women come in second and third.
- However, female Geminis also get their comeuppance: They're the most likely to be cheated on. Among men, Tauruses are most likely to have spouses who cheat.
- When it comes to duration of affairs, Aries men and Virgo women are the most prone to maintaining a long-term extramarrital relationship.
What do you think? Is there any stock in star signs?

The Future of Marvel Comics is NOW.
A Personal Note About MARVEL NOW From Third Eye Steve
Hello Third Eye Faithful!
You know, it feels like it was just yesterday that we were talking about a very similar once-in-a-lifetime event with comics in regards to the DC NEW 52. Now, one year later, and I have to tell you, not only am I so impressed by what they've done with the NEW 52, but am really glad that we were such a large part of it. It's hard to not compare when writing this, but I have to tell you:
The electricity and excitement that I can feel surrounding Marvel's similarly-planned relaunch is even BIGGER. I seriously feel that MARVEL NOW is going to be a monster, in terms of both critical and commercial acclaim, and I want to make sure that each and every one of you guys are able to get in on the ground floor of this.
How do I feel about this? Personally, folks, I am more excited about MARVEL NOW than I have been nearly anything that's happened in comics… ever. I realize that sounds like hype, but I am legitimately pumped after having seen the things I've seen for this.
At the core of the MARVEL NOW stuff though, you know what it is that has me so excited? These books really capture that Marvel magic on a major scale. I've been lucky enough to sneak a peek at some of these, and I have to tell you: there's something special going on here. There's a return to a shared universe amongst the Marvel books, there's a sense of fast-paced, action-packed storytelling, and a focus on familiar characters that have grown iconic through the ages. But, I think the thing that is most striking to me about MARVEL NOW, is that these books manage to capture the timeless iconic feel of MARVEL COMICS while still bringing new territory to the table, and infusing the kind of modern comics energy of many creator-owned titles into the classic surroundings of the Marvel Universe.
In short: these are the Marvel Comics you've always wanted to read. Imagine taking the BEST OF THE BEST, Third Eye Faithful. We're talking the quality runs of stuff like UNCANNY X-FORCE: THE DARK ANGEL SAGA, Mark Waid's DAREDEVIL, Joss Whedon's ASTONISHING X-MEN, Mark Millar's OLD MAN LOGAN, and Jonathan Hickman's FANTASTIC FOUR. Imagine these runs, these epic, modern classics of comic book awesomeness, and then applying that level of quality and innovation line-wide to the Marvel Universe.
That, Third Eye Faithful, is exactly what Marvel NOW is all about!
So, Third Eye Faithful, let's talk all about MARVEL NOW, and let's get ready to for a year full of kick-ass comic books!
What is MARVEL NOW?
Marvel NOW is very similar to The DC NEW 52, in that it's a relaunch of Marvel's flagship titles and characters, but not necessarily a reboot. This is a way of streamlining the Marvel Universe back into the shared universe it's intended to be, while at the same time staying true to the storylines that've come before. In other words: everything that's happened, has happened, while some of the.. well, to be honest, dumber stuff from the last 60 years of Marvel continuity are being quietly sat aside.
Is this a good thing? You know it! I mean, I think we can all live without the era of Wolverine sans nose, and Avengers: The Crossing, right?
Never read (insert your favorite Marvel character here)? Start NOW.
MARVEL NOW is also THE perfect place to jump on board with the Marvel Universe, and start reading these characters. Each book is designed to be easy for brand new readers, or long-time fans, to jump on with and follow.
Much like the NEW 52, Marvel NOW is opening up the playing field and making it so many of their most iconic characters are once again accessible from issue #1 and onward to new fans.
However, this is not a cold reboot, and the storylines that've come in the past are still a relevant part of these characters and their histories.
Should I read anything first? Why AVENGERS VS. X-MEN is amazing in a nutshell.
With MARVEL NOW, the beauty is being able to jump on fresh with these characters at issue #1. However, if you're like us, and want to get some kind of back-story going in, we'd recommend snagging AVENGERS VS. X-MEN as that's the storyline catalyst for the MARVEL NOW event.
We currently have all AVENGERS VS. X-MEN issues in stock at both Third Eye locations, and will be more than happy to get you caught up. This will give you a good primer on some of the major things that've gone down with the Marvel Universe in the last year leading up to MARVEL NOW.
Plus: AVENGERS VS. X-MEN was FANTASTIC, and is a great way to break the ice of getting into the Marvel U.
Make Mine MARVEL NOW! Party at Third Eye Comics!
It's not every day that something as big as MARVEL NOW goes down, so when it does, we like to kick things off in a major way at Third Eye.
This is why we're doing a very special MAKE MINE MARVEL NOW! Release Party to coincide with the debut of UNCANNY AVENGERS #1.
That's right, Third Eye Faithful. At 9AM Wednesday morning on 10/10, we'll be opening the doors to Third Eye, and giving you the FIRST crack at purchasing the flagship MARVEL NOW title, UNCANNY AVENGERS.
We'll have a ton of awesome stuff happening at our special release party, including sales on select Marvel Comics items, door prizes, giveaways, and of course, the early bird opportunity for YOU to be one of the FIRST to purchase the elusive, and highly sought-after Marvel NOW UNCANNY AVENGERS #1 DEADPOOL CALL ME MAYBE variant.
This variant is printed in very limited numbers, and will only be available during the MAKE MINE MARVEL NOW party!
You'll also get first crack at all the other Marvel NOW variants available for UNCANNY AVENGERS #1.

Of course, you can also sign up via our website, or any other time in-store, but we need an excuse to put some of the Third Eye Team in costume. 🙂
Click here for full details on the MAKE MINE MARVEL NOW! Party at Third Eye Comics!
Get ALL the MARVEL NOW #1s & Get all the SKOTTIE YOUNG Marvel Babies Variants at Cover Price! Read More and Find Out How!
One of the cool things that Marvel is doing with MARVEL NOW is issuing some very rad variant covers. By far, the most popular of the Marvel NOW variants, are the Skottie Young MARVEL BABIES covers, and we have a feeling these will be the ones that end up being the most sought after.
While we will have the Marvel NOW Babies variants available for a regular variant price in-store (normally between $10-$20each), depending upon the ratios of each variant, but when you get ALL Marvel Now #1s, we're offering you an opportunity to get the full set of these for just cover price (usually $2.99-$3.99ea)!
How're we going to make this happen? Well, much like last year's NEW 52 promotion we ran, we're going to be giving out Marvel NOW Punch Cards at our UNCANNY AVENGERS #1 release party.
Every time that you purchase one of the MARVEL NOW #1 issues, we'll stamp that book off your card.
Once you've filled your card, you can redeem it for a full set of the Marvel NOW Skottie Young variants.
To make sure we've got the right amount of these variant sets reserved, we would totally appreciate it if you guys used our subscription service (click here to check it out), and entered in the additions field: MARVEL NOW #1s (ALL). While this isn't necessary to participate, it is super helpful for us! 🙂

Fourth- and eighth-graders in Los Angeles Unified made double-digit gains over the past decade on national English and math tests, outpacing the improvements made by their counterparts in most other large urban school districts, according to a report released Wednesday.
The biggest bump in LAUSD's scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests came over the past two years, with an especially good showing by African-American youngsters, the report said.
Superintendent John Deasy called the results "amazing" and said they are a good indication that the district is on the right track as it prepares to implement Common Core, the tough new English and math curriculum standards, next fall.
"This assessment is particularly important – let's call it the 'canary in the coal mine' for Common Core," Deasy said in an interview. "The level of rigor is very much like that for NAEP, and that portends very well for us starting to work in Common Core."
Operated under the U.S. Department of Education, NAEP provides a common measurement of student proficiency in a variety of subjects. The tests are more rigorous than those conducted by most states and are considered by many to be the "gold standard" for student assessments.
The new report shows that most of the students in Los Angeles Unified and nationwide fell short of proficiency on the exams, which were given in 2013 to a representative sampling of fourth- and eighth-graders in 21 large districts. But the NAEP highlights a number of strong points for the nation's second-largest school district.
While Los Angeles Unified performed near the middle of the pack among the big-city districts, this year's scores showed significant improvement compared with tests taken in 2011 and in 2003.
On a scale of one to 500, Los Angeles Unified's fourth-graders averaged 228 on this year's reading test, which is 15th among the 21 large districts. However, that score was four points higher than in 2011 and 11 points higher than a decade earlier, with that rate of increase outpacing the nation, California and the average for large-city districts.
White students added 20 points to their scores since 2003, while African-American youngsters improved by 17 points and Latino fourth-graders, 10 points.
The fourth-graders also placed 15th in math, with an average score of 228, a jump of five points since 2011 and 13 points over the past 10 years. White, African-American, Latino and low-income students were among the subgroups that recorded double-digit gains over the past decade.
The district's eighth-graders racked up an average math score of 264, compared with 260 in 2011 and 245 a decade earlier. Those students' English scores also rose by four points over the past two years to 250, with a 15 point increase from 2003 that was the biggest jump among all large-city districts.
Among LAUSD's eighth-graders, Latino, Asian and low-income students had the highest gains of all urban districts.
Deasy said he was impressed with the improvements made by minority students, but added there is still room for improvement, especially among the district's English-learners. Within that subgroup, fourth-graders showed small gains in both reading and math over the past two years, while eighth-graders lost ground in those subjects.
The large-city average still trails the national average for all public school students, but the urban districts have made progress, the report says.
"The 2013 NAEP results show gains in large city schools over this last decade that are statistically significant and educationally significant," Michael Casserly, executive director of the Council of Great City Schools, said in a statement.
Jaime Aquino, who is resigning at month's end as LAUSD's deputy superintendent for instruction, said the NAEP's focus on large-districts is an important indicator of the state of public education.
"These are the hub for the greatest number of students in the country," Aquino said. "We need to monitor them closely if we really want to impact our economy and political survival."

Avionics dealers were treated to sneak previews of the latest must-have airborne hardware at the Aircraft Electronics Association's annual convention in late April, held at the Wyndham Palm Springs in (very) sunny Southern California.
Garmin made the biggest splash of the show, introducing the WAAS versions of the GNS 430 and GNS 530 GPS/navcoms. Designed to meet sole-means WAAS capabilities for Lnav, Vnav and LPV approaches (ILS-like 200-foot straight-in minimums) the units will carry list prices of $10,750 for the GNS 430w and $16,496 for the GNS 530w when they become available in the third quarter.
Garmin also touted its GMA 347 digital audio panel with automatic squelch, duplex telephone interface and audio replay feature (list price $2,395) and the new GMX 200 multifunction display, a replacement for the MX20 display originally developed by subsidiary Garmin AT. Price for the unit starts at $8,995.
Garmin salespeople at the show had good reason to be smiling. Although the Olathe, Kan. company's aviation business grew just 4 percent in the first quarter (to about $57 million) total revenue in the period was up 67 percent to $322 million on the strong showing of Garmin's automotive business. Revenue in the auto segment during the quarter increased an impressive 252 percent to $150 million– sending the electronics maker's stock soaring last month to a record high above the $100 mark.
While Garmin reps were whistling in the aisles, other manufacturers were equally eager to show off their latest products and services. AirCell, on the eve of entering an FCC auction for a coveted slice of broadband air-to-ground frequency spectrum, announced a collaboration with EMS Satcom to link AirCell's Axxess airborne communications system with EMS Satcom's eNfusion HSD high-speed-data terminal.
Selected by Cessna as a factory option in the Citation X, XLS and Sovereign, Axxess provides in-cabin phone handsets (now with color displays) and two Iridium voice channels. Combining the $40,000 hardware package with an eNfusion HSD-128 or HSD-400 high-speed data terminal from EMS Satcom brings wireless Internet access to the passenger compartment over the Inmarsat Swift64 and (starting next year) SwiftBroadband services. AirCell gained the initial STC for Axxess in April and has started shipping hardware.
Antenna Announcements from EMS Satcom
EMS Satcom at the show announced it has delivered its 50th HSD-400 terminal (in the first seven months delivering the units), offering four channels of Swift64 service for a combined data rate of 256 kilobytes per second. When SwiftBroadband services are introduced, the data rate of the unit will increase to one megabyte per second. Combining the data terminal with one of EMS Satcom's CNX network acceleration units will speed the connection further for true broadband connectivity aloft– if the aircraft operator doesn't mind paying the hefty download fees for four simultaneously operating SwiftBroadband channels.
EMS Satcom's news at the AEA Convention centered on antenna announcements. The company provided details of the AMT-3500 intermediate-gain antenna for smaller business jets, which is capable of providing data rates of about 350 kbps through SwiftBroadband. The company also said Bombardier has selected the eNfusion AMT-3800 high-gain antenna as a factory option on the Global Express XRS and Global 5000. Installed atop the fuselage, the low-profile antenna provides access to both Inmarsat Swift services as well as worldwide voice calling.
Kollsman of Merrimack, N.H., brought a mockup of the General Aviation Vision System (Gavis) the company announced at last fall's NBAA Convention. Fitted in a unique teardrop fairing, the infrared microbolometer enhanced-vision system is des-
igned to present its 30-degree-wide view on any video-capable display. Grob plans to fit the Gavis camera in a fairing of its own design atop the nose of its SPn utility jet. Kollsman is currently installing the EVS in a Citation II it owns, but the Grob jet would be the first production airplane to offer Gavis as an option.
Kollsman also announced it is nearing certification of the EVS II camera system destined to replace first-generation equipment on large Gulfstreams and selected by FedEx for its fleet of widebodies. To date, more than 300 All Weather Window EVS hardware packages have arrived at Gulfstream's plant in Savannah, Ga., for installation in the manufacturer's globe-girdling jets. Mated to the Honeywell 2020 head-up display, the cryogenically cooled EVS is the key to special operating credits lowering landing minimums from 200 feet to 100 feet on straight-in approaches.
Aviation Communications & Surveillance Systems (ACSS), a joint L-3 Communications and Thales company, announced Cessna has selected the TCAS 2000 traffic alert and collision avoidance system as standard for the Citation X, XLS and Sovereign. Introduced in 1997 by Honeywell, TCAS 2000 was the industry's first TCAS II. In 1999 when AlliedSignal and Honeywell merged, ACSS was formed to buy the divested product. Since then ACSS has introduced a terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) for business jets and airliners and is working on development of other surveillance technologies. Its next-generation TCAS 3000 has been selected by Dassault for the Falcon 7X.
Honeywell announced a software upgrade kit for owners of GNS-XLS flight management systems that allows operators to take advantage of new operating standards for precision area navigation (PRnav) in Europe and terminal and en route Rnav in the U.S. Buyers can load the new software directly into the unit using a special kit, which the avionics maker said it will provide free to anyone who takes delivery of a new GNS-XLS FMS this year. Dealers and owners of older GNS-X units were offered special pricing on the new hardware providing an extra $3,000 off the promotional price.
Universal Avionics told dealers about an agreement with Canada's CMC Electronics that will allow Universal to distribute CMC's M-Series EVS. A week later at the EBACE trade show in Geneva, Universal president and CEO Ted Naimer and CMC Electronics president and CEO Jean-Pierre Mortreux signed the distributor agreement, announcing that the partnership between the companies would go much deeper in the coming months and years. The two plan to team in areas where they can leverage their largely complementary products to aid both. Naimer, however, emphasized that a merger is not on the horizon.
Cockpit Retrofits Announced
Sandel Avionics introduced two retrofit product lines at the 49th AEA Convention, including the LED-powered, four- by four-inch SN4500 electronic HSI and SA4500 electronic ADI, in addition to a series of directional gyro products, the SG101, SG102 and SG103. With their 180-degree viewing angles and high sunlight readability, the SN4500 and SA4500 serve as drop-in replacements for older electromechanical instruments. Both feature SandelSmart I/O to interface with most any digital or analog aircraft system. Retail pricing was announced as $19,500 for the SN4500 EHSI and $20,500 for the SA4500 EADI.
Meanwhile, Sandel's new SG102 directional gyro is a solid-state unit that replaces the KG102 spinning gyro. Price is approximately $3,500, making it an excellent alternative to an overhauled unit, Sandel said. The SG101 offers XYZ, Arinc 429 and RS-232 outputs, and adds a new Sandel-designed sealed magnetometer for stabilized magnetic heading. The SG103 incorporates XYZ, Arinc 429 and RS-232 outputs while also offering compatibility with the KG102. Prices for the SG101 and SG103 are targeted to start at less than $4,000.
Revue Thommen, a new name in business aviation but a long-time instrument supplier for military aircraft, touted its AD20 two-inch standby digital altimeter, which the company said will evolve into a similarly pint-sized MD21 Mach/airspeed indicator. U.S. marketing director Ken Paul said Learjet has launched an STC program to bring the AD20 to the Learjet 40 and will follow that endeavor with programs for the Learjet 31, 45 and 60.
Chelton announced that its latest FliteLine CDM-451 DME will start shipping this month. The triple-channel scanning unit provides Arinc 429 outputs along with analog outputs for two displays. The CDM-451 transceiver is compatible with FMS auto-tune operation. The third output channel can also provide single DME output to the FMS for independent navigation. The product is part of Chelton's next-generation navcom product line, designed to replace Series III radio acquired from Bendix/King in 1999.
Chelton Satcom introduced the HGA-7001 phased-array satcom antenna, which it billed as a light, low-cost alternative to competing antenna products. With its built-in antenna control unit and SwiftBroadband capability, Chelton hopes to entice operators of smaller business jets to install the fuselage-mount antenna. Chelton Satcom also makes the IGA-5000, -6000 and -7000 antennas and a 5-MCU high-speed-data satcom terminal.
Avidyne came to Palm Springs to talk about the traffic advisory systems (TAS) it has added to its portfolio with the recent acquisition of Ryan International. The avionics maker announced that the TAS600 is now approved for retrofit into airplanes with Garmin G1000 avionics. Providing TCAS-like traffic symbology and audible messages, the traffic alerters are designed with multiple antennas allowing them to scan for targets above and below. The TAS600 (7-nm range) lists for $9,990; the TAS610 (12-nm range) is $14,990; and the TAS620 (20-nm range) is $20,990. Avidyne also said Piper has selected the Entegra glass cockpit for the Seminole twin, bringing the avionics system to Piper's complete line of 11 piston models.
Icarus Instruments introduced a steering assist module designed to bring GPSS roll-steering capability to any autopilot. Equipped with audible altitude and gear alerts, the unit is compatible with GPS receivers that provide roll steering input, including the Garmin GNS 430, GNS 530 and GNS 480 and Bendix/King KLN 90B.
Satellite Communications
Announcements related to the Iridium satellite communications service featured prominently at the show. Blue Sky Network, a provider of global satellite tracking and logistics, announced it has integrated its SkyRouter tracking system with Google Earth to provide users with detailed satellite images overlaid with 3-D views of an aircraft's ground track. Users on the ground can track live flights, as well as examine past flights for detailed analysis. Position data is sent via the aircraft using an Iridium link.
International Communications Group (ICG) announced that it has been selected by Bombardier to provide ICG Iridium satcom systems as standard equipment in all new Challenger 605s. The airplanes will be fitted during completion with ICG's ICS-200 dual-channel Iridium satellite phone systems providing global voice and data services.
The ICS-200 incorporates two Iridium transceivers with an internal cabin tele-communications unit providing a stand-alone communication system. ICG has
a long relationship as an OEM supplier of Iridium systems to Bombardier, the company said, noting that its hardware is standard across the Bombardier Challenger and Global lines.
Sky Connect introduced a mission-management unit for Iridium voice and text messaging from helicopters. The unit contains a small screen and rotary knob that is used to access pre-stored phone numbers and text messages. Pilots can also write free-form text and dial unique phone numbers, although the use of the rotary knob will likely make this something of a chore. However, the company pointed out, phone numbers can be sent from the ground via datalink and then dialed automatically by the pilot.
Wingspeed, another Iridium hardware supplier, introduced the XLLink Model L ($3,500) and Model H ($9,000). The Model L generates and sends messages containing aircraft GPS information to Wingspeed's ground-based servers via the Iridium Network.
Wingspeed formats and routes the data via a secure Internet connection to customers' operation centers. XLLink is integrated with Flight Explorer's flight-tracking software in the customer's operation center to manage and track aircraft. The next "step" in the XLLink product line is the XLLink System Model H. In addition to flight tracking, it offers voice calling capability and data services over Iridium.
Satellite Radio for Less
Flight Display Systems showed off a novel way of bringing XM or Sirius satellite radio content to the cabin using off-the-shelf components that can be picked up at a local Circuit City or Best Buy. The setup shown at AEA included a Comant antenna, a DAPS360-X splitter and four Delphi Roady2 XM receivers–the same inexpensive units that people have in their cars and homes. Cables are run from the splitter to the XM tuners, which are considered portable electronics and therefore do not need to be part of the STC. Price for the splitter from Flight Display Systems (FDS) is $1,895.
Flight Display Systems showed off a wide variety of slim cabin monitors, as did competitor Rosen. LCDs from 7 inches diagonal to 42 inches are available from FDS, while Rosen offers monitors ranging in size from 6.5 inches to 24 inches. Both also offer moving map displays and other cabin entertainment products.
Also notable at the show was the $1,995 PMA8000B audio panel from PS Engineering with front panel utility jack for plugging in cellphones, iPods or Garmin's GPSmap 396 handheld GPS receiver with terrain alerts and XM audio capability. Avionics Innovations showed off its I.C.E. integrated cabin entertainment system with 7-inch LCD, CD player, Sirius satellite radio module, video amplifier and passenger control unit.
The company said an STC in the Pilatus PC-12 is pending. Finally, natSeattle showed off its latest cabin file server, the JetLAN AS250. The unit features a 1.44-gHz Pentium processor and weighs eight pounds.
More than 1,650 avionics shop managers and technicians converged on Palm Springs for the 49th annual AEA Convention & Trade Show April 20-22, which this year featured more than 140 exhibitors occupying 230 booth spaces. In addition to the show itself, the association offered more than 75 hours of training and a number of technical and regulatory workshops. Next year's show, AEA's 50th, is scheduled to be held in Reno, Nev., from March 28 to 31.

NAYPYIDAW: Myanmar's parliament on Wednesday appointed the navy chief to replace a regime hardliner as one of the country's vice presidents, in a move seen as strengthening government reformers.
Admiral Nyan Tun, 58, who has a reputation as a political moderate, was selected by the military personnel who make up one quarter of the legislature and have the right to choose one of the two vice presidents.
"I will carry out my responsibilities honourably to the best of my ability and strive for the further development of the eternal principles of justice, liberty and equality," Nyan Tun said in his oath of office.
His appointment was approved by an electoral college, house speaker Khin Aung Myint announced at a joint session of the lower and upper houses of parliament in the capital Naypyidaw.
"He's very quiet and known as a flexible man," a military parliamentarian who did not want to be named said of the new vice president. "He has three children and lives a simple life."
His predecessor Tin Aung Myint Oo — a renowned hardliner with close links to ex-junta chief Than Shwe — resigned in July ostensibly due to ill health, fanning rumours of a power struggle between regime moderates and conservatives.
Since taking office last year, President Thein Sein, a former general, has overseen dramatic changes such as the release of hundreds of political prisoners and the election of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi to parliament.
The army's first candidate, Yangon chief minister Myint Swe, failed to win approval because his son-in-law is an Australian citizen, which under the constitution disqualified him from becoming a vice president.
"The Yangon chief minister is not qualified to be a vice president because of his Australian son-in-law. Military representatives changed the nomination in the last week of July to Admiral Nyan Tun," a parliamentary source told AFP.
The same provision is a barrier to Suu Kyi taking a top leadership role in the country, and her party has vowed to campaign to completely redraw the constitution, which was written by the former junta.
Myint Swe, a retired general, was one of the military leaders involved in a deadly crackdown on the "Saffron Revolution" monk-led uprising in 2007.

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
Getting started is easy, if you have the right equipment. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS unit can then try to locate the geocache.
There are many groups that participate world-wide in geocaching, and nonprofit organizations like Tread Lightly! provide reference materials to ensure the game is played safely, with minimal impact to the environment. When geocaching it's important to make a realistic plan and stick to it; familiarize yourself with restrictions in your area before you decide where to place a cache; and in addition to your GPS receiver — always carry extra batteries, a map and compass, and know how to use them.
Avoid placing caches in sensitive habitats such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands, caves and seasonal nesting or breeding areas. Avoid placing a cache or disturbing historical, archeological and paleontological sites.
Avoid "spooking" livestock and wildlife you encounter during cache placement, and keep your distance.
Do your part by leaving the area better than you found it. Cache placers avoid burying the cache in the ground. It is the cache owner's responsibility to maintain the cache and the surrounding area. If a cache's area is impacted, confer with the land manager on how you will mitigate the impacts, and seek their advice as to whether to relocate the cache. Never place food items in a cache. Don't modify the environment for any reason, even when hiding a cache.
For cache seekers, use maps to find a route that will minimize impacts. Note waypoints during your journey to assist you on your return trip. If you notice a path has started to wear in the vicinity of a cache, notify the cache owner via e-mail. Practice "lift, look, replace" technique. If you lift a rock to look under it, replace it exactly as you found it. After you've finished searching for a cache, the area should look as though you were never there, or better than when you arrived.
Minimize impacts left by others whenever possible. Carry a trash bag on your vehicle and pick up litter left by others. Pack out what you pack in. Practice minimizing impact by camping in established sites, 200 feet from water resources and trails. Observe proper sanitary waste disposal or pack your waste out. Following a trip, wash your gear and support vehicle to reduce the spread of invasive species.
By practicing these tips, you not only protect the outdoors while having fun, but you protect access to recreation opportunities for years to come.

Hey, who switched out the light? This year's spectacular New Year's Eve illuminated bridge motif will be . . . well, nothing.
And convivial Sydneysiders could be waiting an eternity for another one, given a perception among the event's organisers that the use of an emblem on the eastern expanse of the Bridge is "tired".
So, for the first time in six years the Harbour Bridge will not be the shining light of New Year's Eve, a relatively recent but popular tradition dating back to the original smiling face in 1998.
The City of Sydney's plan for this year had been to have a massive mirror-ball suspended high above the roadway of the bridge.
But the plan was recently dumped. This was due to both the expense, as well fears of a repeat of the winds that led to last year's 9 pm display being cancelled.
Planners are working on yet another concept. Ed Wilkinson, the producer of New Year's Eve festivities, said yesterday that the official plans would be released next month and that the bridge would still play a part in celebrations.
But Ken Fazakerley, from the company that has decorated the bridge for New Year's Eve celebrations, the Olympics and the Rugby World Cup, confirmed his organisation had not been approached to erect a bridge motif this year.
"When I tell people there's not going to be a Harbour Bridge lighting effect this year about 90 per cent of them are disappointed," said Mr Fazakerley, the managing director of Kermac Welding and Engineering in Goulburn.
"Sydney starts the whole New Year's Eve thing off and set the standard for the rest of the world."
Had plans for a bridge effect gone ahead this year, the schedule would have been tight.
The Rugby World Cup ball emblem will be dismantled almost immediately after the tournament finishes on November 22 with the playing of the final. It takes about six weeks to create and mount the effects and another three or so to dismantle them. But with additional labour, the job could still have been done for New Year's Eve.
The City of Sydney's ambitious "City of Light" laser display looks set to proceed on New Year's Eve.
About a dozen city buildings have signed up to have their exteriors bathed in coloured light.

Mark Cavendish has attempted to play down his aspirations to claim the Tour de France yellow jersey tomorrow in his mother's home town of Harrogate.
The 190.5-kilometre opening stage from Leeds to Harrogate could thrust Cavendish into the race leader's maillot jaune for the first time, if he can claim a 26th stage victory of his distinguished career. Eddy Merckx has the record of 34 stage wins.
The 29-year-old from the Isle of Man, whose mother Adele is from the Yorkshire town, is bidding to become the seventh British rider to lead the Tour, after Tom Simpson, Chris Boardman, Sean Yates, David Millar, Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome.

Cavendish said: "It would be nice to wear the yellow jersey. I've not yet done that. It's not a given. There's 200 bike riders on the start line and every one of those would like to wear the yellow jersey."
Even Harrogate's Coach and Horses pub has had a name change to Cvndsh and Horses for the Grand Depart in expectation of a 'local' success.
Cavendish won, by his high standards, just two stages of last year's Tour as Marcel Kittel emerged as the premier sprinter with four wins. "I'm incredibly lucky to have won 25 stages of the Tour de France," Cavendish said. "One win in a rider's career can make their career, let alone one win per year."
He is one of four British riders to take to the start line - alongside Froome, Geraint Thomas and Simon Yates - and he had hoped there would be more, pointing to 2012 winner Wiggins and Millar, in particular. Wiggins was not selected by Team Sky and Garmin-Sharp did not pick Millar.
"In an ideal world I'd have liked to have seen more Brits at this Tour de France," he said. "Bradley [Wiggins], David [Millar] and these guys, grand tour stage winners from our country."
Froome feels different to 12 months ago, now he is defending the title. "There definitely is an increased pressure element coming back as defending champion, given we're starting on home soil, we've got huge crowds," he said.
"[But] I think it's all very warm, positive energy. I will say I'm going to give it absolutely everything, but it's not going to be a walk in the park."

Budget 2013: Build houses, says CBI's John Cridland
The chancellor should signal the start of house building schemes to help the UK economy in his Budget next week, said the director general of the CBI.
John Cridland said "confidence boosting measures" were needed and building projects could start within months. He claimed "everybody gains", saying young people would get into jobs and that infrastructure is "the best way to build confidence".
Mr Cridland said the economy was flat, but that he did not think there would be a triple-dip recession. And he said he did not think there should not be any further borrowing.
Shelter chief executive Campbell Robb backed the call for more new homes.
David Willetts' reaction to John Cridland on house building

Summary: A womens two breasts give a play-by-play account of an
Keywords: orgy, anal, humor
This is an attempt at a humorous outlook of two breast's nicknamed Fred and Frank, and their adventure with the body of the woman they're attached too. The woman, and her hubby, are swingers, and are going to a house party, where the men outnumber the women five to one.
"Hey Fred, looks like we're here!"
"Looks!? Shit Frank, some guy has his hand on the outside of this damn teddie, and he's trying to get in to squeeze the shit out of me!"
" Heh-heh, yeah, thats the problem of being the left breast, most guys are right-handed....ooops, my turn."
"Now you know how I feel...er..being felt....wish to hell he lets me out of here, oh, there we go..."
"Yeeesss, freedom from the unfriendly confines of some damn wired up contraption...oh my god!"
" Wow! Look at all this! This is the biggest sex party we've been to yet, get a load of that over there, Frank."
"Um, can't right now, Fred, this guy's got my attention, actually, he's got me in his mouth...good thing we're only a b-cup. What you seeing?"
"Well, over there to our right, her hubby has his head up some big chicks skirt...wonder what he's doing?"
"Probably hunting for that elusive bearded clam, ouch, damn it asshole, easy on the nipple, it's attached!"
" And over there is some black guy with a redhead sitting on his face...hey, it ain't true!"
"What ain't true, Fred?"
" That black guys are all hung big, this one is smaller than hubby."
"Well, Hubby is pretty big for a white guy, at seven inches, there you go, suck, don't chew. Who is this guy? Don't recognise him!?"
"Don't recall seeing him before, there, he's moving south."
"Good, only been here two minutes and already my nipple is sore."
"Well if it weasn't so damn big when we get aroused...."
"Ohhh, feel that? She's already about to explode."
"Yeah, I do, unusual, she must really be hot tonight, that or he's good at getting Miss Kitty going."
"Listen to her purr, damn, getting the blood flowing, I'm about to my peak, must be the usual three-quarters of an inch."
"Amazing how us smaller titties get bigger nipples, isn't it? Oh look, here comes a dark-haired girl."
"I rememeber her, she once said she loved the way our nipples tasted."
"Hey, she didn't bother even licking us!"
"No Freddie, looks like our tongue wanted to do some licking. Oh great, now she lay's down, can't see a damn thing. Took over for the guy in the pussy eating, damn, Miss Kitty must be in heaven."
"Shit Frank, now we'll probably be ignored for awhile, this dark-haired girl has big tits, and I can't see anything down there."
"At least we can watch our tongue work her clit, look at those juices flowing, both must be hot."
"Oh neat, that guy is at our head, starting to fuck the girl on top of us."
"Can you see off to the sides, Fred? All I can see is a couch and two pair of legs."
"Well, I see Hubby on top of some woman, drilling her long and hard, and two guys at each end of some brunette on all fours...and the black guy is about to shoot his load down her throat. I hear more, but can't see 'em."
"Sounds like a nice size crowd, think there's more men than women, too."
"Good, more cocks to drill Miss Kitty, she'll like that."
"Yes she will, more the merrier...oh my, that's a hard cum!"
"Yes it was, little Frankie, and the girl she's eating had hers too. Uh-oh, she's rolling off."
"Yep, up for air, and the first thing she does is swallow some guys meat!"
"Same guy, guess she wants to get a taste of that girls juices."
"Ooops, who's that?"
"Don't know, but they're mens hands, and someone just entered Miss Kitty from behind. Hey, I like him, he ain't too rough on my nipples."
"Yeah, he is nice, just gently balling our titty-meat. Look, another cock."
"A bit longer than that last guy, she takes it all in her mouth though."
"You ever notice that the guys are usually between five and six inches?"
"Sure do, noticed when she was showing us off on the internet the other night, the guys all say they have big cocks, but they would say that when they're a thousand miles away."
"Geesh, he didn't last long, maybe what? Ten strokes?"
"Well, our body does have a good, hot mouth, maybe she was hungry?"
"Uh-oh, from the sounds of the grunting behind us...yep, there he goes."
"Thats two loads, one for each end....and it's still early. Oh good, she's rolling over and sitting up against the couch, now we can see!"
"Sort of, here comes another guy, his dick aiming for our mouth."
"We can see, between his legs. and here comes that redhead, diving between our thighs, wonder which guy just made a deposit down there?"
"My guess is that italian looking guy, his meat looks like it could have been the one."
"You mean the one in the fat chicks mouth?"
"Yeah, there. He just turned and smiled at us, sort of a thank you."
"Hey, this room is pretty full, must be about twenty people in here."
"And it looks like things are winding down for round one, although I think Miss Kitty is getting started for round two, from the feel of things. Man, look at that guy fucking our face."
"Heh-heh, his balls are slapping our chin. And boy are her hands gripping his hips. You know what? I think it's more like she's fucking his dick with her mouth!"
"By damn you're right....and there he goes, wow! She didn't spill a drop of that load, what a mouth!"
"I liked how she wiped her lips and licked her fingers clean, nice touch. Oh there she goes. Damn, that was sudden, and quick."
"I rememeber that redhead, she had a great tongue, look, she's moving up...oh, there you go, god that feels good."
"Damn it, tell her to suck on my nipple too! I need some attention too! Ohh, hello, who's this?"
"Don't know her, Fred, but I can see she has nice melons."
"Yes, our hand just found one of them, feel's great, I'm sure. Lots of people we've never seen before, tonight."
"Ohhhh shit, red knows how to suck tit."
"This busty blonde ain't too damn bad either. Looks like it's just us girls for a while, Frank."
"Yep, plenty of cocks in the house, and not one at attention for the second round yet. Give them time, and a few mouths to work with."
"Speaking of which, here we go, back on our back. The redhead is sitting on our face, and the blonde is going down to have a snack."
"Not so fast, little fella, thats a double-headed dildo in her hand."
"My god, yes it is, and what a dildo! That'll stretch ole Miss Kitty out!"
"Ohhhh, that even sent a shiver through me, damn, look at our stomache bulge as the blonde shoves it in and out of our snatch and hers...don't see that everyday, Fred."
"No we don't, and looky here, a pair of cocks that need a sucking, recognise either one, Frank?
"The one in the blonde's mouth I do, some young stud that we were aquainted with a few months back. Hope he does a better job, last time he gave one shot and that was it. Plus he's got a small dick."
"His dick is still small, but the blonde seems to enjoy sucking that number....and red is enjoying her tubesteak as well."
"No Fred, I think Red is enjoying our tongue, look at her grind her snatch on our lips."
"I feel a good cum approaching...yes, and there it is, and what a cum!"
"God damn yes, my nipple feels like it's going to burst, damn it needs sucked on."
"Looks like we've a volunteer...."
"Ouch, damn it, that hurt, you crazy fucker!"
"Oops, sorry Frank, seems he wanted to give you good twist...shit, damn that fuckin smarts!"
"Yeah, whats this guys problem? Want to take our nipples home with him? Thats better, lean down and use your tongue little boy, come to momma."
"Pain and then soothing relief....okay for some, but I would rather forego the pain. Red's done, she's got a dick in her mouth and getting off. The kid in the blonde's mouth just shot his load, but still hard, have to give him credit there."
"Yeah, and there goes our toy, too. Looks like they're going to do it missionary right here next to us."
"Who's this? A big boy, check that meat out."
"Oh he's been with us before, his wife is that knock-out redhead with the big titties from down the street. And yes, he does have a nice pussy stretcher. Looks like we're getting up and taking a walk."
"Why are all those guys following us?"
"Come on Fred, think about it! Why would four guys be following us? And we're heading down the hall? Hello, nice size bed."
"Big enough for a gang-bang, yeah, I was a bit slow, but I did figure it out...Ohhh, that feels good."
"Yes it does, here we go, back on our back again. The guy on your nip doing just as good a job as the one on mine?"
"Uh-huh, and there's another between our thighs, getting a taste of Miss Kitty, plus I believe from, that slurping sound, there's a cock in our mouth."
"Um, we got more company, seems our hands are full, too. And our crotch is getting a bit crowded, as another guy is there as well."
"Ooops, we just got rolled over, there you go, get those lips back on my nip."
"Now she's alternating sucking between three cocks, and her cunt and ass are being licked clean."
"Damn, that must feel good, we're going from one cum to another, looks like those boys aren't letting up, either."
"Guys cocks might get tired, but at least a good mans tongue won't."
"I think she's ready to fuck, now."
"Gee Fred, what clued you in? The fact she's screaming for someone to fuck her?"
"Um, yeah, I think that was it, and here's the first man at the plate, taking a pretty big lead there."
"Damn, with the grip he's got on our hips, he surely won't buck off."
"And we have penetration! What would you say? Six inches? Maybe six-and-a-half"
"Definitly six, Fred, but not much more. However, he's got thickness. Hope she bounces back into shape when he's through."
"Ooops, he's through....NEXT!!!"
"This next one isn't that big."
"Yeah, but he's stamina, I remember him from a few other times, and look, we've swallowed a load."
"Down the hatch, if she keeps this up, we won't need a break for food. Damn, this guy's going to town."
"Looks like we're going to get into another position, Frank."
"Sure are, he pulled out and laid down next to us, and there she goes, sliding down that pole of love. You know, it does feel a bit bigger this way."
"Damn, she's getting into it, I'm getting a bit dizzy from all this bouncing....hey, why we stop?"
"Well Freddie, looks like they're going for a double."
"Since when we do anal?"
"We ain't, the guy behind us is going to share the hole with the guy below...we've never tried this before."
"Oh my, and her fingers just found her button, first stroke and boom, we're having an endorfin rush."
"Thats right, suck that nipple."
"Lucky you, oh well, maybe next time. She just turned her head to take one in her mouth, nice size, that'll tickle the old tonsils."
"The second guy didn't last long, damn thats a kinky squishing sound!"
"And it just set off another tremor, too."
"Ooops, looks like she was caught up in her orgasm so much, she forgot to swallow. Some of that guys cum just hit me on the top of my breast."
"I'm sure it won't be the last time tonight."
"Yeah, I know, but yuch, it's gross."
"Hey, this guy is still going strong in ....oops, spoke to soon."
"Oh well, who's up to bat?"
"As we roll to our right, with three loads of man juice rolling down our thighs, and it looks like a skinny guy with a impressive piece of meat."
"And what a piece! As he slides it in in one fast stroke. I do think Miss Kitty likes that, hey, whats this?"
"Well, it seems we've another player, that wants to fuck us."
"But we're only b-cups, we ain't no big breastes boobs for a titty-fuck."
"You tell him, he's going to try it anyway."
"Shit, he's pulling rather hard, isn't he?"
"Well, he has to, in order to get enough tit together to fuck. Okay, he ain't going to last anyway."
"Thank god, he just blasted his load onto her chin, glad this joker's done. How's the skinny dude with the big cock doing?"
"Pounding away, and it looks like her mouth didn't stay empty for long."
"No it didn't, and we're going on another round."
"This his second time?"
"I believe so, he's the one that did Miss Kitty from behind with the death grip on the hips."
"Ohhhkay, and here comes Red's hubby, ready to stretch the pussy."
"Well, the skinny guys isn't done yet.....okay, I was wrong, so he is."
"Damn, he must want penetration."
"He must, not often we see our ankles back to our ears."
"Are those cries of pain or joy?"
"A little of both, and is he ever pounding the puss. Like a fuckin' jackhammer. Here comes another multiple, hang on!"
"Shit, she's cumming in buckets! How long you think he'll last?"
"Probably awhile, I know he came twice already, him and hubby did some short girl out in the main room earlier, and our hand got him off a bit ago."
"The guy in her mouth just came and went."
"And we have a line ready to take turns, shit, hope her tummy don't get full. Or her neck get broke hanging off the edge of the bed like that."
"Amazing, as he thrusts his meat in, it forces her mouth to take more cock."
"From the feel of another orgasm, I don't think either end minds."
"I am getting a bit lonely, not getting any attention."
"Don't worry, they can't last forever....and there he goes, damn, feels like he dumped a gallon of cum."
"Feels more like a firehose let loose, and from the cries from our lips, even though they're stuffed with cock, it's another orgasm."
"We're going to be a worn pussy by morning, pal."
"Worn but happy...and what we have here? Another cock entering for some action."
"The one in her mouth just exploded as well."
"Shit, how many guys are in here?"
"I think seven, we've done all once at least, and were three or four guys into a second round."
"Feels like some long fucking from here on out, guys are leaving the room."
"Yeah, just sit back and enjoy it."
"Whew, what was that? Twenty minutes?"
"At least! And the one before was close to thirty."
"No guys left in the room, but look what comes through the door!"
"Hey, nice blonde, never seen her before."
"And young, too. Oh, and she wants some creampie."
"Well, there should be plenty there, how many guys filled her up so far?"
"Since we came into this room? Oh, I don't know, just the same six or seven, but I do believe that each came at least three times."
"So that's about eighteen, wow!"
"Of course, a good portion of those went down the hatch, so to speak. And a couple of guys just jerked off on us."
"Yeah, but our fingers were kind enough to wipe it up and lick 'em clean. That reminds me, why do big, fat guys have such small dicks?"
"Can't answer ya that one, little fella. You must have been awake for that one."
"Shit, his fat ass was squishing the crap out of me, thought for a moment there after he got off that we went from b-cup to a double-a."
"No, he-he, we're still the same size, albeit a bit sore. Wonder what time it is? Should be about time to get a shower?"
"The clock on the stand on my side says two-am, but with the blonde chick sucking our pus, I don't think we're going anywhere soon."
"We may just end up here for the night, sure wish we could wash up a bit."
"Whoops, looks like our brain is getting the same message, she just told the blonde to join her in the shower."
"Oh boy, this could be fun, here we go, getting off the bed. Shit! Look at all those guys laying about!"
"Uh-huh, seems the pussy won again. Here we are, at least we don't have to worry about taking our clothes off."
"You got that right, ohhhh, those are nice tits on this blonde, they feel great being smashed up against us."
"You betcha, hey, they're doing a bit of gropping first, damn are we filled."
"And so is the blonde, our hand is covered in cum after she inserted a few fingers up the blondes snatch.
"Water's on....ohhh my god, does that feel good....god it's hot...."
"And so is the blonde, shit, wish we brought a strap-on."
"Will the handle of the back brush do?"
"Oh my, she isn't....well fuck, she is......damn, she seems to be enjoying it."
"Glad it's a smooth handle...this is an awfully nice big shower stall, ain't it?"
"Yeah, it is, we don't have to guess why it was made so fuckin big for, do we....hey, we got more company, it's red, and she brought some toys!"
"Hope to hell we don't run out of hotwater, shit, that's a hell of a big dildo, oh god....and we thought we were already stretched out....damn, feel that?"
"Oh yeah, another ogasmic moment brought to you by super dildo, and red's fingers. Now it looks like red's turn."
"Red likes that, two dildo's, two tongues, and two holes, we get the front door, blondie gets the back, can't really see much hanging down here, though, except for blondie's big tit's swaying back and forth."
"Look at all that man-juice being forced out of her holes. Damn, must be an ocean of cum inside her ass and cunt!"
"And who needs a washcloth when you have tongues!"
"My god thats a lot of cum, no worry about getting hungry for breakfast."
"Oh, there goes red, shit is she loud or what?"
"Loud enough to wake the dead, hope that doesn't get the guys aroused, or we're in for some more fun."
"Yeah, really....rinse off time..."
"You know, that was fun, wonder what's next?"
"I think that's it, but you never know, these are nice, soft towels."
"Wonder where our clothes are?"
"Wonder if we care? Hell, the place is quiet, wonder where hubby is?"
"Probably passed out somewhere, hey, what can I tell ya."
"Out like a light, who's the woman?"
"No idea, lots of people we've never met before tonight. But looks like they got to know each other real well, his dick is still hard in in her ass."
"Funny, our ass doesn't get fucked, but hubby sure does fuck enough of them."
"Be glad, I think that would hurt. I don't think hubby is going to wake."
"Thats okay, red is dragging us and the blonde girl towards another room."
"More girl-girl action?"
"Could be, nothing like a woman's tongue, is there?"
"You got that right, oh...looks like it's talk time...oh well, I'm bruised and sore anyway, how about you?"
"Same here Frankie, think it's time we can get some rest, g'nite Frankie."
"G'nite Fred."

I'm finally writing a post out of (frustration?) for the first time in a long time.
It continues to boggle my mind that nobody seems to understand variance, probabilities and basic math.
Here's a quick lesson on variance using an example you gamblers will understand.
When you sit down at a blackjack table at a casino you are probably somewhere around at 1-10% disadvantage (unless your name is Don Johnson.) This means that 51-60% of the time the house will beat you. It also means that 40-49% of the time, you will beat the house (using the figures from this example.) So, let's say you walk in and play 1 hand and win, you just fell into the 40-49% bracket and won, but if you continue to play over an extended period of time those numbers will eventually change to 51-60% house advantage. Variance, for the purpose of this post, you can think of as winning over a short period of time when the odds are against you, AND it doesn't mean that you will continue to win – using the blackjack example you will (eventually) lose more than you win at the given chances of winning.
If that didn't make any sense then think of it like this. If you buy 100 unique visitors and send them to a landing page and 1 person buys something then that doesn't mean that if you buy 1,000 that 10 people are going to buy. The 1 in 100 buying, could be variance. In fact, if something was tested over millions of unique visitors and it only had 1 sale in 1 million visitors, that 1 in 100 could be variance from the 1 in 1 million. It doesn't mean you are going to get 1 sale for EVERY 100 visitors that you send to your landing page.
I've heard far too many arguments lately of people assuming that things are going to continue without a large enough sample size. Sample size means that you have TONS of data (like the 1 million number in the above example) as "enough" sample size to reasonable expect something to continue. Also don't forget that if you get a large sample size and you start to understand the typical results over larger volume, that doesn't necessary mean that some kind of outside factor (like a competitor or a world event) can't change those original expectations.

My S3 doesnt charge properly. Sometimes its charges, sometimes it doesnt. Its really annoying... It'll be plugged in charging then it doesnt. But once it doesnt work, it doesnt work after a while. Then itll work again after I try to plug it in. I had my phone jtagged recently and my phone didnt do that before until after I got it. The guy said he didnt do anything he just put everything stock. My phone is indeed stock, 4.3.
This is really annoying though..

Protein sensitive heads usually react pretty negatively to straight coconut oil...you can try testing it on a small section if you'd like to try it though. It will definitely penetrate if you leave it on long enough, it can take from 6 to 14 hours depending on porosity/how much you apply.
I have very coarse strands and low porosity too, I personally can't use straight coconut oil but my hair is fine with it when it's formulated in a product.
