National Championship on Friday at the East Cobb Complex.
jumping out to an early 2-1 lead, the Yankees scored two in the
fourth on a double by Austin Norrell (2012, Calhoun HS, Ga.). They
added a six-spot in the fifth thanks to run-scoring hits from Dansby
Swanson (2012, Marietta HS, Ga.), Douglas Miller (2012, Darlington

Head Coach James Beavers — who's in his 34th year as
the Yankees' coach — said after the game. "This is a great
tournament and it means a lot to win it. When you look at
championship banners every year and you see yourself up there —
it's just great to be part of this program."
one of the semifinals matchups at 9:00, the Marlins Scout Team
pounded out 13 hits in a 5-2 victory over the No. 6 seed NVTBL Stars

A terrain park is to skiers and snowboarders what a skate park is to skateboarders: a place for learning and practicing tricks and, of course, showing off skills.
Not coincidentally, terrain parks have their roots in skateboard parks and many of the features are common to both.
Most resorts have terrain parks, with many having multiple parks of varying difficulty. Some resorts are almost exclusively terrain parks such as Echo Mountain Park in Idaho Springs, Colo.
Jibs, jumps, and pipes are standard park features. Parks differ in their designation - small, medium, and large - and degrees of difficulty. A small park has short jumps and rails that are even with the slope's surface. Medium-sized parks have zero to 10-foot jumps along with jibs requiring small jumps to get on top. Large parks include five to 90-foot jumps, along with complex jibs and large vertical pipes.
Jibs are any type of fixture which can be ridden with the board/skis and jumped or tricked from. A jib is considered any one of the following fixtures: rails, funboxes, trees, mailboxes, wall-rides, bonks, park benches and picnic tables. These surfaces are slippery, so balance is key. It's no fun to fall on a solid rail in freezing-cold weather.
Jumps in terrain parks can range from 5-to-90 feet and they vary based on terrain available. Types of jumps in a park can include a tabletop, a step-down, a step-up, a gap, a hip, or a spine.
Speed and approach are key when hitting a jump. A confident approach and steady take off ensures body control while in the air. Too much speed on a tabletop jump can result in overshooting the transition and flat-bottoming past the landing. Too little speed means there needs to be one less turn or carve on the approach.
A halfpipe, which comes from the skateboarding world, is a downhill trough with vertical lips on each side that are generally about 11 feet (3.35 m) high. A superpipe is a large halfpipe with 16-foot (4.9 m) walls on both sides that are nearly 90 degrees vertical. A quarterpipe is a vertical lip with the intention that the user launch straight into the air, then land on the same lip. Quarterpipes are used at ski and snowboard events to measure "big air". Momentum is the number one factor when "dropping a line" into a halfpipe. Speed is required throughout a run to slide up the walls from one side to the other.

A vigorous discipline of sociology requires the creation of meaningful research knowledge and the training of professional sociologists able to pass on that knowledge effectively. In spring 2015, four ASA Department Affiliate institutions participated in a pilot project to integrate TRAILS, ASA's Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology, into their graduate teaching seminars.
In 2013 the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) initiated the Measuring College Learning (MCL) project because SSRC recognized a pressing need for greater clarity, intentionality, and quality in U.S. higher education.
The American Sociological Association (ASA) has sociologists available to discuss the Orlando nightclub massacre from a variety of perspectives.
A new study finds that behavioral problems in early childhood have a larger negative effect on high school and college completion rates for boys than girls, which partially explains the substantial gender gap in educational attainment that currently exists in the United States.
The American Sociological Association (ASA) applauds the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling today in the affirmative action case Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin. The judgement allows the university to continue using race as a factor in admissions decisions.
What's the best way to prepare high schoolers for jobs in the 21st century? Education leaders and the general public have been debating this question with more heat in recent years, clashing over whether to focus on college preparation or vocational training, especially training linked to blue-collar jobs.
The ASA Task Force on Liberal Learning and the Sociology Major, Third Edition (LL3) has been working steadily on the charge put to it by ASA Council at their August 2014 meeting: to revise the ASA document Liberal Learning and the Sociology Major Updated: Meeting the Challenges of Teaching Sociology in the 21st Century (McKinney et al. 2004). Perhaps the most important as well as the most cited sociology curricular document in the United States, this revision comes at a critical time when several changes are occurring in higher education.

While studying the rapid growth of the therapeutic boarding school industry, Jessica A. Pfaffendorf observed that troubled young men in at least one program most often displayed a type of "hybrid masculinity."
This observation — young men incorporating more feminine behaviors in their social interactions while at boarding school — presented a notable incongruence.
High school students who completed higher levels of math, performed better academically, and had a greater sense of control of their future were more likely to migrate and work in labor markets with larger shares of college-educated workers, according to a new study by sociologists at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin).

Scenes from A Second Helping of Life, with April Bloomfield, Dorie Greenspan, Amanda Freitag, and More
Walking down the long carport to Pier 60 in Chelsea Piers, the smell of rich, savory food flew through the air. Stepping inside, the atmosphere was all about love and support for SHARE, an organization that brings together breast and ovarian cancer survivors and their families, offering a community of support.
The ninth annual A Second Helping of Life brought together some of the city's top female chefs, from the event's first Executive Chef Anita Lo to Amanda Freitag.
Both silent and live auctions benefited the organization and presentations were made with incredibly touching stories of survivor-ship and hope, honoring Amy A. Peterson (President, Nontraditional Employment for Women), Mailet Lopez (Founder, I Had Cancer), and Lynette Marrero and Ivy Mix (Co-founders, Speed Rack) and recognizing Alice Yaker for her distinguished service to SHARE.
But, we must admit, we were in it for the chefs and their offerings. Each chef brought an incredibly thoughtful, detailed and palate-pleasing dish to the table. And each chef was oozing with support for the organization and the uplifting, relaxing event. There were lots of smiles and lots of hugs.
And lots of happy bellies.

It's Not Just the Ceiling That Soars: En Japanese Brasserie
Celebrating the fattiness of the marinated thigh against the tang of pickled okra.
It wasn't my idea to go to En Japanese Brasserie that evening last May. I try not to be too bossy when this particular food-obsessed fivesome I adore gets together every few weeks. Obviously, the Insatiable Critic is invariably focused on what's new and needs to be discovered. I'd sat at the bar when En arrived in 2004 promoting itself as an izakaya – a Japanese style pub – and had been only mildly impressed.
What tiny fingers plucked these bitsy radishes in tonight's astonishing crudités?
Now we're back at a corner far from the open bar. I'd forgotten the drama of the soaring, shadowy, glass-wrapped space, with its theatrical spotlights on imported antique panels and tropical plantings. We order from the menu, too much as usual to indulge everyone's whims. And then come gifts from owner Reika Yo – salmon smoking under glass before our eyes. It's her bow to one of my pals, Barry Wine, as an early champion of Japanese style at his high-priced and innovative 4-star Quilted Giraffe, so sadly defunct.
The salmon is smoked in a bell jar before our eyes at dinner that night of revelation.
Then as the evening stretches on and on, with smoke-filled terrariums and radishes no bigger than a pearl among exotic crudities on ice, and sublime broth simmered mysteriously flame-defying parchment, approving nods dissolve into an irrepressible chorus of sighs and cries. I'm trying to recall another Japanese roller coaster ride as exhilarating as this one. Alas, my plan to write a BITE on this triumph of astonishment got lost in a crush of restaurant openings.
In Abe's Kitchen, the chef never stops smiling: Here he presents warm just-made tofu.
But now Barry and I are back, just the two of us, curious to explore "Abe's Kitchen Counter" – Chef Hiroki Abe's $125 omakase dinner, available the last Tuesday of every month in two seatings of eight. I order a ginger cocktail. Wine orders narutotai sake, 10oz for $32. It comes in a bamboo pitcher, packed in an ice-filled bamboo bucket delivered by our waitress. I can't tell if she's a natural geisha or just playing into Wine's teasing.
Tiny river crabs succumb to the smoke as we sprinkle nori powder on our tofu.
Meanwhile Chef Abe, after clattering around the kitchen on his wooden shoes collecting supplies, is now calmly smoking a live crab inside a glass dome. He opens the tasting with the house's signature just-made tofu, ever so slightly watery. It's all about texture, of course: a delicate custard with a sprinkle of seaweed dust to add a pop. (The house makes tofu six times a night on weekends. You hope to time it so yours arrives still warm.)
Abe-san prepares two platters for our lobster shabu shabu.
Hiroki works ahead on a stunning platter, setting out a small dish of ginkgo nuts for each of us. Another texture feint. Fun. I'll call it an amuse. He is dissecting our lobster live. Now the claws and spiny things go into a broth of shabu-shabu in a cone of pleated parchment. He lights the flame and instructs us to cook the sticky gray flesh. "Not too long," I say, loving raw lobster. "I'll just warm it a little."
It's a mystery why the pleated parchment doesn't burn as we warm our raw lobster.
"Why doesn't the paper burn?" Wine asks. The chef smiles, not about to tell. It's not like the haughty silence at Momofuko Ko. It's very smiley. Time to cook scallions and some odd unidentifiable greens, Abe-san says, and then he pours the perfumed broth into little cups for us to sip.
Gelatinous konnyaku with dabs of miso mustard escort one zonked out river crab.
"My cocktail is wrong with this food," I complain. Barry hands me his sake cup and sends for another. A lone, small river crab, asphyxiated, I guess, is presented on a piece of slate with konnyaku (devil's tongue), a gelatinous wheat gluten made from potato, with a dab of miso mustard. This is one of those moments when you have to appreciate what the Japanese can make out of nothing at all. Like a Ferran Adrià revelation. But you don't have to like it.
Waste not. The chef scrapes the last morsels sticking to this tuna skin.
The chef's burly assistant hands him a tuna carcass. He could poach us a few ribs, I suppose. But no. Instead he meticulously scrapes away the bits clinging to the skin, collecting enough scraps to create two small triangles of fragrant maguro, each wearing a frizzy pompadour of scallion threads presented alongside Santa Barbara sea urchin. I eat it slowly, wallowing in the slink and brine.
Tuna tendrils dressed for success, served alongside Santa Barbara sea urchin.
I'm not sure if it's our second ration of sake or a third. I'm high on the unctuous fatty elegance of the tuna. There is barely time to parachute down from that high as the chef holds up two huge scallops, still moving, spurting them with lime. The sticky satin fills my mouth. I bite a slice of lime for an aftershock.
Live scallops one minute, lime-doused satin in my mouth, the next.
Meanwhile, Abe is working on the two scallop muscles he removed. It's what you throw out when you cook the precious bivalves. But you wouldn't, if the chef lived in your kitchen, slivering each muscle till it opens up, thin as tissue paper, tenderized with a squirt of lemon.
I first braved monkfish liver in the early 80s at David and Karen Waltuck's Chanterelle. But I've never tasted monkfish liver like this, soft from warming, with swirled threads of shiso adding its familiar pow and a shiso flower on top.
No surprise, sperm tempura tastes like brains since some males think with their c—ks.
Yet even as I shiver in concentration, I sense a new excitement in the kitchen. It's as if a shipment of gold had just arrived. "It's sperm," the chef announces.
"How do you feel about sperm?" Barry asks.
"I'm not sure how I feel," I say, remembering the time he laughed as I ate hideous aged squid intestines. So I'm shocked by the delicate taste of shiroko tempura – the sperm almost as soft as brains, which I love. The chef has saved a portion for himself. He signals a server to take it away for later.
Yuba (tofu skin) wraps amazingly tender little eel shu mei.
Eel stuffed into yuba becomes a duo of delicious little shu mei inside a small steamer. The surprise is how much more delicate the tofu skin is than even a perfect dim sum wrapper. I've always been a pushover for the subtle flavor and seductive texture of chawanmushi custard. This one comes in a crystal dish, with fresh-cut truffle slices wafting their powerful scent toward my nose.
Chawanmushi custard doesn't need truffles but then, no one needs an emerald either.
Abe-san is always working ahead. Now his assistant delivers a huge tuna jaw to his boss. The chef dons protective gloves to wrest ribbons of flesh from the bones, producing meat that is much too fishy for me. I clear my palate with the pile of freshly grated daikon alongside, refusing to let a misstep push me off the high wire.
What will the chef do with this tuna collar? Cook it and pile it in very fishy ribbons.
Next, chicken. What can you do with chicken? Marinate it with a bit of sorcery, I suppose. Hiroki slices a just-cooked thigh into juicy skin-on strips, setting them on a bamboo leaf, alongside an okra pickle wrapped in prosciutto and a blushing burdock spear. The fattiness of the bird against the crunch of the pickle strike me as dazzling.
"The mother of the pickle is 10 years old," the chef informs us. Barry starts to explain, but I interrupt him. I know all about this mother. It's the nutrients and bacteria that turn cider or wine into vinegar. I remember when Craig Claiborne tried to shock me, holding up a crock, and asking if I'd like to see his "mother."
Chopped maguro is too fishy for me but the grated daikon is a good palate cleanser.
I'm not expecting much from the beef either. And I'm sure I can't manage another bite. The chef is cooking two slices of beef with a blowtorch. Wrapping warm rice. I venture a small bite. I'm not sure what else is inside but the combination is thrilling. I can't believe I'm eating it all in one of those carpe diem urges.
While I wasn't paying attention, the chef performed some alchemy on this beef sushi.
As I nibble a bit of black sesame pudding with a flutter of gold leaf, and then find appetite to finish off the matcha tea ice cream sandwich that follows, Barry and I are agreeing that this might be the most innovative Japanese chef we know. Is he the best? Was this tasting better than Soto, better than Neta, better than a long ago wooing at Masa? Granted we've finished three rounds of sake. Barry is definitely high. But I am only a bit tipsy..
Golf leaf flutters on this black sesame pudding (kuro goma).
The excitement is discovering that En Japanese is not the modest brasserie it used to be. What lifted the self-styled pub to this ambition? Is it the chef? Did he just arrive? No, he came here at the age of 25, when Bunkei and Reika Yo launched their modest pub. Brother Bunkei went home to run the family's Japanese restaurants. Abe-san did his coming of age right here, on this stage.
A crunchy biscuit gets stuffed with matcha tea ice cream to eat as a sandwich.
It was Reika's art director husband, Jesse Alexander, becoming a partner, who thought the house ought to reach higher. And so the menu has blossomed. Working with their own forager and favorite farmers – finding green garlic and mugwort alongside the road on the way to a weekend home in Bear Mountain – the house dares new invention. Its owners and knowing Japanese fans have watched Hiroki Abe rise to the challenge.
Reika Yo launched this brasserie with her brother. Now she directs its highs with her husband.
You might want to reserve soon for "Abe's Kitchen Tuesday." But you needn't wait to explore this remarkable evolution. Just look for Kaiseki listings on the ambitious and possibly confusing menu. Experiment with icy sake, preferably enough to soften shyness and tension, without inducing raucous inebriation. Bring savvy friends. Be ready to spend money.

It probably has escaped most people's notice, but in last year's Budget it was announced that a new system of paying for APD ( Air Passenger Duty) would be introduced from November this year. The charge will then be based on the number of miles from London to your destination is in the World.
The U.S.A. and Canada for instance are in Band B and therefore the APD will increase from £40 to £45 in November and then to £60 in November 2010. Australia and New Zealand are in Band D so the charge to go there will increase from £40 to £55 then £85.
The increases are even higher in the premium classes such as World Traveller Plus, Premium Economy, or Business.

No prosecution planned for scout abuse cases
Records show 21 New Mexico Boy Scouts all claiming to be victims of sexual abuse by their scout leaders, but so far the Albuquerque Police Department is doing nothing and neither is the District Attorney's Office.
"I felt a little robbed of vindication," Raymond Wolfgang said.
Wolfgang lives in Albuquerque now, but says when he was 15 at summer camp in Pennsylvania, he was touched inappropriately by his Scout leader.
"What feels worse about it is I didn't tell someone sooner," Wolfgang said. "18 years passes and it's like, well now I finally go to police."
Investigators in Pennsylvania told him their hands were tied.
"They said 'Look, the statute in your case is seven years,'" Wolfgang said.
His story is similar to many of the people who were victimized in New Mexico. The cases date from the 1960s to 2004.
According to a statement from the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office:
"Each situation is evaluated on a case by case basis, examining such questions as: when the assault occurred, how old the victim was at the time, what type of crime was committed and other factors."
Depending on the nature of the crime, police may not be able to make an arrest because of the statute of limitations.
A spokesperson for the Albuquerque Police Department said they don't have any active investigations. A district attorney's office representative said should a case come across their desk from law enforcement, they will pursue and, when appropriate, prosecute.
Many lawyers are calling for a congressional investigation into the 14,000 pages of suspected abuse from across the country.

By lending a little computer power, people can join a new George Mason University project and help crack the Alzheimer's disease code.
George Mason is teaming with Reston-based Parabon Computation to ask volunteers to install software on their personal computers that will crunch numbers when the computer isn't in use. Notable projects from Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, such as Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, have used similar approaches.
"It's a way to involve people in real research," says Dmitri Klimov, associate professor of bioinformatics and computational biology in the School of Systems Biology, who is leading Mason's efforts on the project.
Alzheimer's is a devastating disease for which there is no cure. Dementia -- its hallmark -- robs people of their memories and who they are. More than 5 million Americans have the disease; it is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and is expected to account for $214 billion in health care spending this year, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Researchers are working on finding elusive answers. "Despite all the efforts, we still don't know how the disease develops on a molecular level," Klimov says. "Exactly what causes Alzheimer's is not known."
Klimov has a $300,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to work on the problem. Researchers have identified Ab protein, which appears to have a key role, but exactly how the protein plays out in the process is speculation at this point, he says.
This protein is just fine on its own and belongs in the brain, but trouble seems to occur when these protein molecules group together in a ball called an oligomer, Klimov explains, and it's this possibly destructive grouping that needs a closer look.
Citizen scientists can help researchers find the answer by joining the Compute Against Alzheimer's Disease (CAAD) project.
"Volunteers simply download the software at http://www.
Klimov, his graduate student Chris Lockhart, and Parabon software developers collaborated on the NIH grant to not only build computer models of molecules that could be responsible for Alzheimer's disease, but to make it possible for many computers to work together on a complex problem.
This distributed software approach "allows thousands of computers to cooperatively work on a single computational problem," Armentrout says. "Because the computer simulations involved take months or even years to complete using traditional computing methods, it is desirable to distribute the workload across many computers to accelerate the research, which is how Frontier adds value to the effort."
Computers are changing the classical laboratory and microscope approach. "That approach has limitations because it is difficult to study individual molecules," Klimov says. Computer software creates molecular models to re-create what is happening to the cell on a level of single molecules.
The end result will be a data boost "by orders of magnitude" to help researchers discover the clues that could lead to understanding of what causes Alzheimer's, he says.

Are you accumulating flash drives in a bottom drawer somewhere? Don't throw them away just yet because you can use them with Microsoft Windows Vista. Plug any USB 2.0 flash memory drive that holds at least 256MB but no more than 4GB into your PC and Autoplay gives you a choice to invoke ReadyBoost, where Vista will use the drive's memory as an additional disk cache to speed things up. Just click Speed up My System and you're off and running.
If you're skipping Vista or you're a Mac user, why not just donate your old thumb drive to charity? But hey, what the fuck do kids in Africa need with thumbdrives? How about food, education, computers, stable government....

Investors unfriend Facebook and AppleJune 26, 2013: 1:30 PM ET
U.S. stocks may be on the rise but two former tech darlings are missing out on the move up. Shares of Apple and Facebook were firmly in the red Wednesday as the the Dow jumped more than 100 points for a second straight day.
Apple (AAPL) slipped 1.4% to a two-month low below $400, while Facebook (FB) shares shed 0.4% to trade around $24.
Both companies have been struggling to impress investors this year amid a lack of new and innovative products.
The disappointing downward moves in the stocks gave people on StockTwits plenty to chatter about.
Market rallying again. But $AAPL down & back below $400. $FB down too. Both companies need more innovation to get investors excited.
Facebook tried to push the envelope last week when it unveiled Video on Instagram, a service tied to the popular photo app that Facebook bought last year for $1 billion.
But that wasn't the type of innovation investors have been looking for, and the stock remains stuck in a rut.
$FB Don't know how anyone can hold this stock, pump and dump would be aggravating. Been shorting pops. Bearish
The complaints were even harsher against Apple.
Calm down $AAPL board, it's not like GOOG, AMZN, NFLX, LGF, BBRY, PCLN, MSFT, ISRG, and SIRI are all up 1.5% + today and AAPL is red!
Oh, the irony! And of course it's not just today. Netflix is the best performing stock in the S&P 500 this year, with shares up 130% while Apple shares have declined about 25%.
$AAPL is a reminder of what happens to cult stocks once they fall out of favor. Unfortunately this reminder is sitting in my portfolio.
Ouch. But depending on where you bought the stock, maybe it's helped more than it's hurt? After all, if you take a step back, you'll see that Apple shares have more than quadrupled since the bull market began in March 2009, while the S&P 500 has only doubled.
Still for future gains, most investors agree that Apple needs to come up with something soon, and not just a fun advertisement.
$AAPL when you release the same thing year after year, and the only innovations are your commercials, people catch on.
$AAPL everyone who has a iphone/ ipad already has one. dont understand how this company will continue to generate money
Some even wondered if Apple CEO Tim Cook is holding the company back, though others came to Steve Jobs' successor's defense.
$AAPL Stock market UP or DOWN this goes down and more down someone please fire Tim Cook Please
Others came to Steve Jobs' successor's defense.
$AAPL Tim Cook will not be fired just because Wall Street wants to assign a 5 PE to Apple that is not his fault nor did he do anything wrong.
A new leader may or may not be the answer, but it's crystal clear that new ideas and time are of the essence for Apple.
$AAPL Its pretty much over unless they announce Anything this week which tells me they've got nothing

National Labor Relations Board
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), independent agency of the U.S. government created under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (Wagner Act), and amended by the acts of 1947 ( Taft-Hartley Labor Act) and 1959 ( Landrum-Griffin Act), which affirmed labor's right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choice or to refrain from such activities. The board of five members (appointed by the U.S. President with the approval of the Senate for five-year terms) is assisted by 33 regional directors. This board determines proper bargaining units, conducts elections for union representation, and investigates charges of unfair labor practices by employers. Unfair practices include interference, coercion, or restraint in labor's self-organizational rights; interference with the formation of labor unions; encouraging or discouraging membership in a union; and refusal to bargain collectively with a duly chosen employee representative. The NLRB does not have the power to consider cases involving real estate brokers, agricultural employees, domestic workers, family workers, government employees, and church-run schools.

This list of sex positions is a list of different ways to have sexual intercourse and other sexual acts.
Intercourse[change | change source]
These positions involve a penis going into a vagina or anus.
On top with front entry[change | change source]
These positions are used for vaginal or anal sex. The basic position is called the missionary position. In it, the receiving partner lies on his or her back with legs apart. The penetrating partner lies on top of the receiving partner, facing them. The penetrating partner enters so that the base of the penis rubs the clitoris.
From behind[change | change source]
Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal sex.
The receiving partner is kneeling or on all four limbs. The penetrating partner inserts their penis from behind. This position is sometimes called as the doggy style position.
On top[change | change source]
Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal sex.
The receiving partner is on his/her hands and knees with their bottom exposed. The penetrating partner then pumps away at the receiving partner's vagina or anus with his penis.
Sitting and kneeling[change | change source]
Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal sex.
The penetrating partner sits down, with their legs stretched out. The receiving partner sits on top and wraps their legs around the penetrating partner. This is called pounding on the spot.
Standing[change | change source]
In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other and have vaginal sex. The shorter partner can stand on a stair if the partners are different heights. It may be easier if the woman has her back to a wall.
Anal[change | change source]
Most of the above positions can be used for anal sex.
- From behind. This position is good for thrusting.
- On top with front entry. The penetrating partner is between the receiving partner's legs. This position is good for beginners, because it allows them to relax.
Outercourse[change | change source]
Outercourse or frottage is sometimes part of foreplay or to avoid intercourse.
- Dry humping – similar to sex, but with clothes on
- Handjob – Rubbing a partner's penis
- Footjob – using the feet to rub the penis
- Mammary intercourse – using the breasts to rub the penis
Genital-genital sex[change | change source]
Genital-genital sex, sometimes called GG rubbing, is when two males rub penises together (sometimes called frot or frottage) or when two females rub vulvae together (sometimes called tribadism or scissoring).
Oral sex[change | change source]
Oral sex is the term given to genital stimulation by the mouth. People may engage in oral sex as part of foreplay before intercourse, or during or following intercourse. It may also be performed for its own sake.
Fellatio[change | change source]
Fellatio is a kind of oral sex that involves a man letting his penis be licked or "eaten" by his partner. The man's partner can be either a woman or another man. There are several ways to have oral sex.
- The man lies on his back while his partner kneels between his legs
- The man lies on his back while his partner lies off to the side of his legs
- The man sits in a chair and partner kneels in front of him between his legs
- The man stands while his partner either kneels in front of him or sits (in a chair or on the edge of a bed, etc.) and bends forward.
- The man's partner lies on their back with their mouth open and the man lies so that his penis is in his partner's mouth.
Note: Fellatio doesn't have to involve 2 people. Some men have a long-enough penis and a good enough stretch to lick or put their own penis into their mouth. However, this is called autofellatio or autofellation.
Cunnilingus[change | change source]
Cunnilingus is oral sex involving a woman's genitals. There are several ways to have oral sex.
- The woman lies on her back as in the missionary position. The active partner lies on their front between her legs.
- The active partner sits. The woman stands facing away and bends at the hips.
- The active partner sits. The woman stands or squats facing towards partner
- The woman sits on the bed with her legs open, the active partner kneels in front of her.
- The active partner lays on their back while the woman sits on the active partner's mouth.
69[change | change source]
Main article: 69 (sex position)
Oral sex between two people at the same time is called 69. Partners can be lying side-by-side, lying one on top of the other, or standing with one partner holding the other upside down.
Anilingus[change | change source]
Positions for anilingus, also known as "rimming", "anal-oral sex" or "rimjob" are:
- One partner is on all fours. The active partner is behind them.
- A partner is on their back with their legs up.
Group sex[change | change source]
More than one man[change | change source]
When three people have sex with each other, it is called a threesome. You can have:
- One person giving oral sex to either of the other two partners while they engage in intercourse
- A man has vaginal or anal sex with one partner, while himself being anally penetrated by another
- A participant has vaginal or anal sex with one partner, and both have oral sex with a third.
Multiple penetration[change | change source]
Multiple penetration, or double penetration means someone is penetrated in more than one place. Types of double penetration are:
- Two penises in the anus. This is called double anal
- Two penises in the vagina. This is called double vagina
- One penis in the vagina and the other in the anus. This is called DP or double penetration
- Simultaneous penetration of the mouth and either the vagina or anus. If the penetrating objects are penises, this is sometimes called the spit roast. The character Alyssa Jones in Chasing Amy acquired the nickname "finger cuffs" after participating in this act.
With many people[change | change source]
- A group of males masturbating is called a circle jerk
- A group of males ejaculating on one person's face is called bukkake
- A group of two women, and male, each having oral sex, is called a daisy chain

Were it not for the core Half-Life series itself, Black Mesa: Source - a fan-made remake of the original Half-Life - might well be the longest-running tease in video games today.
Having been in development for around eight years now, and still not out, you'd be forgiven for thinking the project was never going to come out.
That said, this clip - submitted to fansite ValveTime by an "anonymous reader" - claims to show over three minutes of gameplay footage from the mod, showcasing not only its visuals, but a few changes as well, like an iron sight for the .357 Magnum (which replaces the gun's standard "zoom").
Nobody has any idea how old the footage is, so for all we know it could be from 2008. Or 2012. Or the distant future, where humans toil for our alien overlords in vast underground salt mines, and Black Mesa: Source still isn't out.

This module corresponds to section 2.7 (AL Errors) of the OpenAL Specification and Reference (version 1.1).
- data ALError = ALError ALErrorCategory String
- data ALErrorCategory
- alErrors :: GettableStateVar [ALError]
AL errors consist of a general error category and a description of what went wrong.
data ALErrorCategory Source
General AL error categories.
alErrors :: GettableStateVar [ALError]Source
OpenAL detects only a subset of those conditions that could be considered
errors. This is because in many cases error checking would adversely impact
the performance of an error-free program. The state variable
alErrors is
used to obtain error information. When an error is detected by AL, a flag is
set and the error code is recorded. Further errors, if they occur, do not
affect this recorded code. When
alErrors is read, the error is returned and
the flag is cleared, so that a further error will again record its code. If
alErrors returns
[] then there has been no detectable error
since the last time
alErrors (or since the AL was initialized).
When an error flag is set, results of AL operations are undefined only if
ALOutOfMemory has occurred. In other cases, the command generating the
error is ignored so that it has no effect on AL state or output buffer
contents. If the error generating command returns a value, it returns zero.
If the generating command modifies values through a pointer argument, no
change is made to these values. These error semantics apply only to AL
errors, not to system errors such as memory access errors.

A performance, thin weight knee length waterproof sock perfect for a multitude of activities and conditions where additional coverage, minimal insulation and maximum breathability are required.
Finer than traditional wool with tiny overlapping scales that case each fibre, these scales are hydrophobic (water repellent).

In our socks and gloves, the moisture is then wicked through the membrane to keep you feeling warm and dry
The perfect barrier between you and the most challenging wet weather. Our products are developed in such a way as to give 100% waterproof protection whilst being incredibly breathable and dexterous. Add in varying layers of insulation means we can offer waterproof products for all climates.

Alicia Keys performed a lounge-y, piano-tinged — and live — version of the national anthem ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The Grammy-winning singer played the piano as she sang "The Star Spangled Banner" with her eyes shut. Her publicist said the performance was live, days after halftime performer Beyonce admitted singing along to a prerecorded track at the Inauguration.
Keys' version was soft and featured additional lyrics: She added "living in the home" before belting "home of the brave" as she finished the song.
Before Keys hit the field, Jennifer Hudson performed "America the Beautiful" with the 26-member Sandy Hook Elementary School chorus.
The students and Hudson wore green ribbons on their shirts in honour of the 20 first-graders and six adults who were killed in a Dec. 14 shooting rampage.

Paul Schlitz's letter about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction contained so many factual errors that it requires correction ("Iraq's WMD were a mirage, despite claims to the contrary," Dec. 30).
First, in my letter I never suggested that The Sun was "pants on fire" when it claimed Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. In fact, what I took issue with was the contention that Iraq did not have any prospects for building weapons in the future.
Second, I never attempted to rationalize the basis for the war, and in fact pointed out that the case against the war could be made without suggesting that Iraq had no potential for WMD.
Third, whether or not some of Iraq's weapons came from American and European companies is immaterial to the discussion, since in addition to any weapons Iraq purchased the country also had produced its own weapons and delivery systems, thereby enabling it to produce them again in the future.
Perhaps Mr. Schlitz would not have seen a lack of truth and wishful hyperbole in my letter if he had taken the time to actually read it.

Serious Eats Neighborhood Guides: Justin Warner's Bed-Stuy
Locals' guides to New York neighborhoods.
Self-taught cook Justin Warner is something of a culinary rebel. He made a name for himself by eschewing tradition with his free-form, pun-heavy first restaurant, Do or Dine, in a neighborhood as far-flung (at the time, anyway) from the buzzed-about establishments of his peers as possible. After doing mashups like foie gras doughnuts and dumpling nachos, he took an even more unusual turn when he chose to appear on the Food Network's series Food Network Star—and won. He fine tuned his signature screwball dishes with the help of mentor Alton Brown, and as a prize for winning, on March 30th, he'll hit the road in search of like-minded culinary rule-breakers in his one-hour special Rebel Eats.
He took us on a tour of his own neighborhood to shout out the spots that are doing Bed-Stuy proud.
Justin's Picks
Pizza, slice: I get on the B38 in Bed-Stuy and go to Tony's in Bushwick. Sometimes I just get on the bus, get a slice, and get back on the bus. I'll tell you, the reason I do this is because Tony's serves regular pizza for regular people. A regular second or third-gen Italian guy runs the regular counter and I drink a regular Dr. Pepper. The service is always extremely friendly, warm, and welcoming. I know I should be eating pizza locally, but I don't. I commute, and I'm sorry for that. Sometimes when I'm in the weeds at Do or Dine and don't have time to make family meal, I order from Sam Y's. I really like the Biggie mural on their exterior but also praise their exceptionally fast delivery. Tony's doesn't deliver, and shouldn't, because that would detract from the experience.
Pizza pie: Saraghina has won my heart and soul so many times. They consistently offer the best Neapolitan pizza in the area, and rank up there with the best in the city. They also do a really delicious octopus salad in the summer. I've never had a bad date here, and that makes anything taste magical, but it's just as chill to go stag. I love their Ortolan veggie pizza. They understand that carbon is a flavor. One of my favorite flavors, actually.
Burger, cheap: I like those rolling burger dog things at the hidden 7-Eleven on Atlantic. But don't tell anyone, promise?
Burger, fancy: Black Swan's burger kills it. It's super thick and juicy. You have to unhinge your jaw. I like to eat the burger first so it drips all over the fries and mimics those perfect moments of steak frites. I like to get mine with cheddar and bacon and a giant mug of Radeberger. They also serve it late, which is nice for getting off work and hating what I've spent all day creating. Sometimes you just need a burger.
Sandwich: Anything from SCRATCHbread kills the entire sandwich game. They make their own bread. Matthew Tilden was here cutting down gastronomic trees long before anyone else set up camp. You can taste that enthusiasm in everything he makes.
Coffee: Bedford Hill sells Americanos. Normally, I'm not an espresso dude, but one of their Americanos goes from beans to my mouth in about two minutes. They also provide espresso for the espresso aioli in Do or Dine's Steak Tartare.
Breakfast: Alice's Arbor is a newer spot, and they are killing it.
Bagels: Forget bagels. Kolaches. Brooklyn Kolache is Tex-Mex-Czech in Bed-Stuy. It's like eating the entire world for breakfast. The owner, Autumn, is perfect all the time, but in the morning she's the kind of person you want to see. It's like she knows you have an important meeting and you still smell like booze from last night's best dive bar, but that's another story (see below).
Dive bar: The girls and boys that manage the bar at One Last Shag are the best kind of merrymakers. I've never left that place in a bad mood, or half-sober. The dance parties get wild but the backyard is chill. Be smart and get a margavesa.
Cocktail bar: Project Parlor—I love the name, I love the cocktails, I love the furniture. I love playing darts.
Delivery food: I like the Singapore mei-fun from Yan Z Cafe. I don't know what the actual name of the place is, but this is what I call them.
Ice cream: I like to go to the Kosher place on Bedford called Ice Cream House. It looks like the happiest person in all of Brooklyn built it. It's perpetually Grand Opening, and I'm cool with that. When you go in, it feels like it is the size of a mall. And they have awesome Jewish tunes playing. I could imagine being six years old and thinking this was the most fantastic place on earth.
Filipino: My boy King Phojanakong has you covered at Umi Nom. Pork belly adobo all day. The baluut is bonkers as well.
Tacos: Chinantla has lengua. If a taco place doesn't have lengua, then I don't go. They deliver, and they have Nitro-flavored Takis. Yes, they taste like explosions.
Indian: The Bombay liver at Bombay Heights has kept me warm and fed when there were no paychecks to be cashed. Thank you Bombay Heights for accepting my futon-crevice money.
Doubles: I've saved so many vegetarian lives by bringing them to A & A Bake & Doubles. Go Google yourself some Trini food and get down here via the A train.
Late-night eats: Mr. Kiwi is a produce bodega sorta thing on the Bushwick-Bed-Stuy border. Sometimes I like to go there at 3 a.m. and grind my own peanut butter, buy some kimchi, and chug an energy drink.
Date night: I've had many customers tell me that Do or Dine has a 99% success rate for um... successful dates. Maybe it's the picklebacks, maybe it's just the love that I put in to the food I make. Maybe it's the hip-hop. When you leave Do or Dine, walk a block to Tip-Top. If he/she can't hang with these two places, back-to-back, abort mission. [Okay, Justin, we'll grant you this one self-promo. —Ed.]
Can't-miss neighborhood spot: The passionfruit doughnut at Dough is a must.

- 3.0
By DIYer on Tuesday, August 06, 2019This is my second Audi and it is a comfortable and fun car to drive. It is stylist and dependable vehicle. Audi definitely designed this car for the owner who wants to pay full service prices from the dealership. If you are someone who has the attitude that if you want it down right, you do it yourself, this car is not for you. An easy oil change has it's headache, the vehicle does not come with an oil stick. There is an empty tube that is capped where the oil stick should reside. This tube must be for the dealership to use an universal Snap-On tools oil stick. The vehicle owner is expected to check the oil through its computer system. It takes approximately 10 minutes to perform. Its also worth mentioning the obscure driver bits needed to remove panels to access the oil plug. Next, I found that the car alerts the driver on start up when service is needed on the vehicle that is determined by mileage. There is no way to reset the service interval without bring it to the dealership. The dealership I purchase it from charges $25.00 to reset it.

Audi nails it again
By Quantas1 on Monday, July 01, 2019After 2 A4's I decided to go bigger w/ a functional back seat . While the A6 is not a cheap proposition the car is outstanding . I am an automotive eng . & have been driving audi's for maybe 15 yrs . I can honestly say beyond routine maintenance & a couple minor wear issues I have had almost 0 problems . Performance & handling , stereo gas mileage are really good . Winter performance w/ snow tires also great . My only complaint & it is minor is under hard repeated braking such as CO mountains the front brakes get a little dicey & loud . Checked them before trip & gauges showed maybe 35% wear . Oh well , we made it .

Best A6 to Date
By FrankyP on Tuesday, March 12, 2019This is my 2nd A6 and it just keeps getting better. My trim is the Premium Plus with the Competition Package. As always the fit and finish on the Audi are perfect. I have the Daytona Gray paint a $575 option. The paint is beautiful on the Audi's and keeps its shine after many years of driving and many trips to the car wash. The interior is best in class with nice clear and easy to read guages. I prefer the analog guages to the virtual gauges that you see in the new Audis. Once you get used to the MMI it is very easy to move from the radio, to the navigation etc. Again the new Audis have a touchscreen and in trying those I think they still need some work and prefer this generation MMI with a control knob and buttons to make my selections. Overall an excellent vehicle with great performance, fit & finish and after 7 years still very appealing to the eye.

Maybe it's too much sun in the Singaporean clime. Legendary emerging markets investor Mark Mobius is bullish—yes, bullish—on Europe.
Mobius, executive chairman of Templeton Emerging Markets Group, told CNBC Asia that European countries are "engaged in a prolonged and necessary game of chicken."
"This will go on, back and forth for a long time," he said. "They have to agree on fiscal responsibility and adhere to certain principles they have not had to do before. It's a big change, but I think they will make these reforms and Europe will emerge much stronger than ever before."
Mobius, who oversees $50 billion in assets, is predicting Europe will have the framework for a fiscal union in place within one to two years.
He adds that investors who stay in safe havens for too long will miss an ensuing rebound in global markets.
"During the subprime crisis everyone was in a panic, everybody got out of all markets and rushed into U.S. Treasurys," he told the network. "They learnt a bitter lesson because within 12 months, (many) markets were up 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% to 100%.
"The average growth this year will be 5%," he said of emerging markets, "compared to less than 1% in developed countries. They represent 34% of the world's market capitalization and most people have very little, if anything, in emerging markets," he said.
He told CNBC that his favorite developing economies are Vietnam and Nigeria. The network sums up his strategy thusly:
"Mobius recommends investors gain exposure by dollar cost averaging into mutual funds that focus on emerging markets. He suggests instead of jumping in with a lump sum, putting in a small amount every month over three or four years and limit risk by diversifying amongst countries, sectors and managers."
