1. Pincombe Charts, original One-Name Study at the Guild of One-Name Studies
2. Will of Willyam Pincombe, East Buckland, 20 Dec 1602
3. yDNA study
When the present researcher for the Pincombe/Pinkham Family at the Guild of one-name studies decided to take on her mother's surname, another team of researchers had just given up the study of the Pincombe/Pinkham surname. Galen Pinkham of the United States of America and Dr. Richard Pinkham of Gloucestershire, England had over a period of fifty years acquired a great deal of information on various Pincombe and Pinkham family lines both in England and in the United States of America. In order to preserve their study they produced several items which were then lodged with the Society of Genealogists. One of these items was a series of family trees on Bristol board sized sheets; a second item was a computer printout (hundreds of pages) of all their accumulated computerized data and a third item was transcriptions of Pincombe wills held at the Exeter Record Office in Devon, England. The last item was particularly lucky as these records were later destroyed in the WWII bombing of the Exeter Record Office. Over the next couple of years I will insert one of these charts into each newsletter. Although I am not always in agreement with the charts, they do accumulate a lot of information on the family in particular locations. The first chart I will enter will be the one that includes my own Pincombe line. It has been attached to the wrong couple but a few lines can correct that. One purpose in reproducing these charts is the hope that descendants of some of the other lines will also recognize any errors or omissions and thus make the task of creating new charts much easier.
My line at Bishops Nympton has been attached to Thomas Pincombe (fifth child of John Pincombe and Mary Charlie) and it should be attached to Robert Pincombe (fourth child of John Pincombe and Mary Charlie). I also do not agree that the parents of John Pincombe married to Mary Charlie were John Pincombe and Catherine Bryer. I believe that John's parents were John Pincombe and Grace Manning. Further back John married to Grace Manning was more likely the son of William Pincombe and Mary Vicary (William being a brother of the Thomas Pincombe listed married to Christian) with that William being the eldest son of John Pincombe and Johane Blackmoore. More on the descent further back later.
1. Will of Willyam Pincombe of East Buckland, Devon, dated 20th December 1602; probated 13 Jul 1605
Willyam Pincombe and his wife Emotte Snow, according to their wills, had seven sons and two daughters: William, Symon, Johane, Katherin, Richard, Thomas, Lewis, Peter, John. The children are listed as their names occur in the will and does not indicate necessarily birth order. This will is available for download on the National Archives of the United Kingdom website: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D941098

William did an excellent job of listing his children, grandchildren, siblings and their children. More on this particular line later (and this is my line at Bishops Nympton; he names his son Richard with a son William).
2. yDNA study
Although I mentioned in the last newsletter I would have more information on the yDNA study I think that I will talk about this particular set of markers which is carried by the Pincombe family in North Devon. I will not yet discuss the yDNA markers for the other groups within the study.
I still do not have any ideas on there being several distinct lines of Pincombe/Pinkham.
Finding that one Pinkham/Pincombe line that is not part of my line directly but has been in the United States for over three hundred years was very interesting. However, at this point I have not yet discovered the emigrant ancestor of this line.
The markers for the North Devon Pincombe family belong to the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype (WAMH). What we do know about this particular haplotype is that it exists in very high frequency in the British Isles. This haplotype precedes the Roman occupation of Britain. This haplotype represents 70% of males in England which interests me because Pincombe appears to be an old English surname.

Tylenol, or generic acetaminophen, is often recommended as a safe medication for infants and children. As a physician and parent, I would like to ease the discomfort my child experiences with sore throats, fevers, and the like… but as I began scrutinizing the ingredients of infant and children's liquid Tylenol and acetaminophen preparations, I became increasingly horrified by the additional ingredients. Butylparabens?! Is McNeil really putting endocrine disruptors in children's medicine? Why are all the generics following suit? After searching through many pharmacies, and reading the labels on the liquid acetaminophen options, I finally found an alternative to brand name Tylenol that is dye-free and paraben-free, and therefore in my opinion safer:
Little Remedies Fever/Pain Reliever SyringeNatural Grape – 2 oz (2 Pack)
While still not perfect, I was nonetheless elated to find a source of acetaminophen that did not contain parabens or dyes. Little Remedies contains acetaminophen, plus these inactive ingredients: citric acid, glycerin, natural flavors (?), potassium sorbate, povidone, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium citrate, sucralose, sucrose, xanthan gum. None of these ingredients raises any red flags as investigated for safety by Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Children's Tylenol on the other hand, has these careless, potentially harmful ingredients:
Butylparaben – has estrogenic effects, can disrupt endocrine system, speculation but not proof of carcinogenicity, listed as a high hazard chemical by EWG.
D&C red no. 33, FD&C blue no. 1 – depending on which formulation, your child will be drinking artificial dyes, associated with behavioral problems and worsening of ADD/ADHD symptoms in some studies.
As a reality check, these ingredients in small doses are probably not a big deal… but I don't see any need for their inclusion when there are potentially safer alternatives. I generally distrust most of the inactive ingredients included in most big pharma-produced medications, and children's liquid tylenol is just the most blatant example I've encountered in my quest not to "poison" my kid.
I'm glad there is at least one easily-found, liquid acetaminophen preparation for children that does not contain freaking parabens.

A gift to the fine art of wining, dining, and partaking of vast amounts of beer—without ever quite letting you feel like an alcoholic.
I love your standard izakaya; they're one of the Japanese gifts to the fine art of wining, dining, and partaking of vast amounts of beer—without ever quite letting you feel like an alcoholic.
The food is sensational, and it runs the gamut between hideously healthy (sashimi, for example, which is the stand-out for me) to frighteningly fatty (my favourite of these latter treasures being a standard dish at most izakayas: ika.
Think glorious, full-cholesterol Kewpie mayonnaise swamped over oily, fried squid. Yum).
Then there are the dips into daring: basashi (raw horse meat) and shishamo (grilled smelts that are stuffed with roe and that you eat whole, head and tail and all, with a smidgeon of that ethereal mayonnaise I mentioned). For the even more adventurous, think raw octopus mixed with wasabi, and you might be lucky enough to stumble across inago—grasshoppers cooked in miso.
Izakayas are located everywhere all over Japan, from smaller towns to the metropolises like Tokyo and Osaka (where they're basically on every corner, downstairs in basements, hidden up alleyways, and up above you on the 5th to 17th floor of towering buildings.
While the wet-towels (oshibori) at the beginning of proceedings serves to wipe away the grime of a hard day's whatever and the grit of Tokyo pollution, the service from the hyperactive, eternally smiling staff is awe-inspiring stuff.
Even better, if you don't speak the local lingo or get the gist of kanji, there're picture menus (the ones for the larger establishments are often fold-out contraptions in excess of one square metre) to get you through the experience, and they even rate the calories included in each dish and drink.
I could go on and on. I worship at these places, and I'd speak in tongues to demonstrate this devotion, if I just knew how. Frustratio iracundia.

I know I'm a little bit late with this. I just read that article in Tatler. You know Tatler don't you? It's a High Society English magazine that's mostly more fluff than substance. I'm not throwing any jabs here. God knows we all need a little fluff every now and then. Just this morning I read a rather amusing and quite brilliant article about Jennifer George and her adventures with her puppy, Geoffrey at Puppy Training school. How extraordinary! Read it too if you like.
But that's not the article this article is about. This article is about an article titled, The Nigerians have arrived. It's a brilliant read. That sort of well researched writing makes me green with envy. Well done David Jenkins. You did a splendid job. I can't say how the article was received by the High Society uber posh ladies in London, but it did not go down well here in Nigeria. No, it didn't go down well at all. People thought it was sarcy, and condescending, and it was. There was nothing flattering about it and maybe that was what made it so brilliant.
How else are we to write about the wealthy from a country with a population of 170 million, 70% of whom live under £1.25 a day? Wealth is vulgar. Money is distasteful. Even if you've worked hard for it, you cannot deny that fortune smiled on you, and not the man on the street next to you. That's why the discerning rich act modestly, and give back generously. What was he supposed to do when Kessania Edewor-Thorley who hasn't shown any concern for the conditions of the Nigerian child, or Octopus, or Egret, or Cattle, or Global Warming or the Bengal Tiger, says that for Moneyed young Nigerians in London, it's Cirque du Soir on a Monday, 'that awful place Dukebox' on a Tuesday and Loulou's on a Thursday. And what was he supposed to do when she said 'so everyday's a champagne day. It's not, "It's your birthday!" It's "You got back from work day! Let's party!"' And what was he supposed to do when the people he's speaking to are alluding to £10,000 nights when they were teenagers? And when Rotimi Alakija was admitting to knowing of a £1.1 million champagne war by Nigerians at a club in the States? And when Vedelago said that he wants to buy a Porsche to go to the gym?
While the article was plenty snarky, it really wasn't snarky enough. It's one thing to have someone else write about you, but it is another to provide the firewood for your very public roasting. The saddest thing is that they who have been roasted probably don't know that they have been roasted. Or maybe they don't mind being portrayed as crass. If Richard Vedelago minded, he wouldn't have been loving the damn thing up all over his instagram.
Happy Days,

In only a months time, I'll be heading across the Atlantic for possibly my biggest challenge to date: The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc 2013 (UTMB). This is big mountain trailrunning at its finest and most intense! Arguably the most competitive 100-miler in the world, this race will take me from Chamonix, France, around the Mont-Blanc massif, and back to Chamonix. I'll cross through Italy and Switzerland en route, stacking-up a leg-wobbling 62,000 ft of combined elevation gain and loss. To put that in different terms, it's like going up and down the Empire State Building 21 times or climbing Mt. Everest from sea level...and then coming down! The race is actually 104.3 miles in length, taking the average competitor just over 40 hours to complete. Along the way, more than 50% of racers will abandon their effort (65% dropped out in 2012, 80% of those from reported stomach problems). With that said, the two words that describe my feelings about this race are FEAR and RESPECT!
Following a great result in the Gobi race 2 months ago, I've struggled with balancing my recovery from that event with my preparation for UTMB. Having only taken 2 weeks off after returning, I feel that my abbreviated recovery has been the main culprit in my rather lackluster training sessions recently. Instead of having strong workouts daily, it's been much more of a rollercoaster: some days are good, many are not. The brutal training conditions here in Tennessee have not helped matters, either. The intense heat and humidity make long training efforts on the trail a near impossibility.
After hitting a low point last week and feeling that nothing was working right, I stepped back and re-evaluated my position. Mentally, I was more than willing to put the time in to train. Physically, I was bottoming out on runs that I typically flow through with no problem. This conflict was causing a serious problem for me. My solution? Focus on a variety of shorter, higher intensity sessions, oftentimes completing 2-3 sessions daily in order to keep my overall mileage up. Since this shift of focus, I'm feeling stronger and more willing to get after this last training push. Admittedly, my current training format is NOT what I had previously planned for going into this race, but as with all things in the ultrarunning world...it's best to just go with the flow! This format allows me to continue to train and turn in workouts that I've been very happy with, and I think that it will allow me to arrive at the starting line with confidence and a full tank for the challenge ahead. As my good friend and champion runner Daniel Rowland told me, "It's better to be 10% undercooked, than 1% overcooked!" Ha! Very true.
Training issues aside, I am utterly pumped to have the opportunity to get to take part in this event. It's world class, in every sense of the word: the course, the terrain, the crowd support, everything. We say in the trailrunning world, "don't fight the mountain because it will always win", and that's my focus for UTMB. Instead of pursuing some controlling notion of how I can impose myself on the race, I will set out to see how the race will reveal itself to me, flowing through the terrain in search of a oneness with the mountain. No ego or preconceived aspirations...only to finish and to hopefully gain a deeper understanding of myself somewhere along the way.

EBC Installing Kernel Source
Embedded Linux Class by Mark A. Yoder
Early in the class most of the exercises we will do will all run on BeagleBone Black. You'll be able to edit (via Cloud9), compile (gcc) and run all on the Bone. Later, when we start compiling the kernel or the boot loader, (U-boot) you will need to cross compile on a Linux machine and copy the results to the Beagle.
The purpose of this exercise is to install all the tools needed for compiling on your host so they will be ready when you need them.
Tip: Run this exercise using a wired connection if you can. The Ubuntu wireless driver can be finicky, and if it stops working you'll have to restart some of this.
The Kernel
Getting the Current Kernel
We are using the Debian kernel from Robert C. Nelson's BeagleBone Black page.
host$ git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git host$ cd bb-kernel host$ git tag (This shows what versions can be checked out.) host$ git checkout 3.8.13-bone77 -b 3.8.13-bone77
Now build the kernel.
host$ ./build_kernel.sh + Detected build host [Ubuntu 14.04 LTS] + host: [x86_64] + git HEAD commit: [58ee2121370badd3c0a22e39f67068f242d5e068] Debian/Ubuntu/Mint: missing dependencies, please install: ----------------------------- sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential device-tree-compiler fakeroot lzma lzop u-boot-tools libncurses5-dev:amd64 libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386 ----------------------------- * Failed dependency check
The build script is telling you what you need to install. Do the installs and rerun the build command.
Building the 3.8 Kernel
Rerun the kernel build
host$ ./build_kernel.sh
At some point you will see
Here you can configure the kernel, however no changes are needed at this time. Once you've exited the configuration tool the kernel will start compiling. If you have a multicore machine you will see all the cores busy. It's only a few more minutes before it is done. (About 15 minutes on an eight core machine.)
Installing the 3.8 Kernel on Your Bone
Installing on a Running Bone
(Check here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/hFqBo_ziBnE for a better way)
If your Bone is running and talking to your host computer, you can install a new kernel without shutting down the Bone and taking the SD card out. This approach uses fuse to mount the Bone's files on the host computer. First, install fuse
host$ sudo apt-get install sshfs
Then copy may_install_kernel.sh to the bb-kernel directory
host$ cd ~/BeagleBoard/bb-kernel host$ cp ~/BeagleBoard/exercises/kernel/may_install_kernel.sh tools host$ tools/may_install_kernel.sh
Note, the command must be run from bb-kernel, not the tools directory.
The script will mount the Bone's root file system in bb-kernel/deploy/disk and then copy the needed files to it. Once done you can reboot your bone. If you are done with the mounted files you can unmout them with
host$ sudo umount deploy/disk
Installing on an SD card
If you are running off the SD card (rather than the eMMC) installing is easy. Now install by inserting the SD to be installed on into your host machine and run:
host$ ./tools/install_kernel.sh
All the needed files are copied to your SD.
Switching Kernels
It is possible to have multiple kernels on the SD card. The file /boot/uEnv.txt tells which kernel to boot.
bone$ head /boot/uEnv.txt #Docs: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:U-boot_partitioning_layout_2.0 uname_r=3.8.13-bone70 #dtb= cmdline=quiet init=/lib/systemd/systemd ##Example #cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=
This one is set up to boot the 3.8.13-bone70 kernel. Edit /boot/uEnv.txt if you want to change the kernel you are booting.
Updating to a new version of the kernel
When you build your kernel the files have some version information in the name. For example vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc5-bone0. The 3.16.03 is the version of the kernel and the bone0 is the version of the patches applied to the kernel for the Bone. Over time new patches will be posted. These instructions show how to get the latest version.
How do you know if you have the latest version? Run
beagle$ uname -a Linux yoder-debian-bone 3.8.13-bone60 #1 SMP Mon Jul 21 18:22:58 EDT 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux
to see what version you are running. git tag will show what versions are available. See if yours is the newest, if not continue on.
This post to the Google Group lists the steps as "You need to recheckout master, delete your old branch and re-pull". Here's how you do it.
host$ cd bb-kernel host$ git checkout master error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout: patches/defconfig Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches. Aborting
Hmm.... something has changed. See what it is.
host$ git diff patches/defconfig diff --git a/patches/defconfig b/patches/defconfig index d903776..3268287 100644 --- a/patches/defconfig +++ b/patches/defconfig @@ -2041,6 +2041,7 @@ CONFIG_JHD629_I2C=y # CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD is not set # CONFIG_N_GSM is not set # CONFIG_TRACE_SINK is not set +CONFIG_LPD8806=m CONFIG_DEVKMEM=y #
It looks like some configuration setting have changed. Since we are getting a new version of the kernel, let's revert back to the previous file and try again.
host$ git checkout patches/defconfig host$ git checkout master Switched to branch 'master'
Success, now step 2.
host$ git branch -d am33x-v3.8 warning: deleting branch 'am33x-v3.8' that has been merged to 'refs/remotes/origin/am33x-v3.8', but not yet merged to HEAD. Deleted branch am33x-v3.8 (was 3fc8a73).
Now repull
host$ git pull
Then start over again
host$ git checkout origin/am33x-v3.15 -b am33x-v3.15 Branch am33x-v3.15 set up to track remote branch am33x-v3.15 from origin. Switched to a new branch 'am33x-v3.15'
Your system.sh file should be unchanged, so start building
host$ ./build_kernel.sh
Mine took some 26 minutes on an 8 core machine.

Short Takes On Straine — Adrian Rehak, DDS
Published on February 12, 2015
Dear Dan,
I am writing to thank you, Sara, Kerry, and Straine Dental Consulting for the excellent results I have had working with you all. I first hired you in Octover, 2011. I wish I had discovered you long before.
Dan, as I have told you, I previously had hired three other nationally recognized consultants. I worked with each of these management groups for several years. I learned with each of them but did not have any significant financial improvement with any of them.
As an example one group personally told me that I should hire a second hygienist. Unfortunately, he never had any particular reason why I should other than he said so. You took my stats and showed me where we were deficient in our recall program and had enough of a patient base that I could hire a second hygienist and keep her busy at least 3 days of our 4 day week. By answering the why I could hire that second hygienist with confidence.
I have just sold my dental practice after which I will work as an independent contractor for the buyer. If I had not worked with you to grown my practice I would not be able to sell. Now I will be able to see patients without the stress and time commitment to practice management. Eventually, I will retire when I want to, not keep working because I need to.
If anyone wants to discuss your services, I would be happy to do so. My contact information is below.
Thanks for everything,
Adrian Rehak, DDS

A deal that would have created the world's largest advertising agency was driven by ego and emotion, British advertising firm WPP told CNBC following the collapse of a $35 billion planned merger between rivals Omnicom and Publicis.
U.S.-based Omnicom and France's Publicis said in a statement late Thursday that they have called off merger talks due to challenges that were insurmountable. In late April, Omnicom CEO John Wren expressed doubts about the deal, citing tax complications.
Read MoreOmnicom, Publicis call off proposed $35 billion merger
"There were big tax issues we were told and also a lot of what is called social issues," said WPP boss Martin Sorrell, speaking to CNBC from China – WPP's third largest market. "It was turning into a bit of a soap opera because both companies in their Q1 statements were saying they were good on their own."
"I think this deal was driven by ego issues and emotional issues, I think both CEOs wanted to try and dislodge WPP from its number one perch and so it was emotional and egotistical. It was also a case of eyes being bigger than your tummy," he added.

Check out our review of The Elder Scrolls Online.
Going in to the private demo for The Elder Scrolls Online I was very curious to see what Zenimax Online had created. At one point or another I've played every MMO since Ultima Online, and few have offered as much pre-release promise as this game, if only because The Elder Scrolls series offers such a huge backstory to build off of. Plus, given the massive success of Skyrim, the developer (which is something of a sister-division of Bethesda Softworks) should have the requisite massive bankroll to create a title that can actually compete in the overcrowded, World of Warcraft-dominated MMO space.
Unfortunately, what I saw only left me worried.
In fairness, I will grant that the game looks good. Its aesthetics are polished — architecture and scenery looks nearly identical to that seen in Skyrim, and characters are slightly stylized caricatures of those found in Bethesda's game — and the superficial gameplay systems seem solid, but beyond that, Zenimax Online seems to be promising quite a few things yet is offering little in the way of explanation as to how it plans to implement them.
For instance, the developer showed off an obviously scripted PvP battle featuring 150 characters, while promising that the final game would see "hundreds" of players in a single conflict. In concept this is great, but over the past decade, so many games have claimed they would offer the same thing, that only the most optimistic fans are willing to believe it can even be done. Likewise, the game is slated to offer public dungeons which anyone can wander into and explore alongside anyone else, regardless of whether they're in a group or not, yet Zenimax offers no reason why people would want to do this (beyond the ethereal "because exploration is fun" that sounds fine in theory yet never really works out in practice), or how it plans to combat the myriad ways in which players could (and will) use this system to grief one another.
Keep in mind that I only saw a 30-minute, non-interactive video of the PC/Mac title in action, and I still maintain hope that the game will be the truly massive exploration of Tamriel that Elder Scrolls fans have been hoping for since the advent of the MMO genre, but at this point — which, it should be noted, is very early in the game's development — I can't recommend anyone hold their breath. At least not until the developers are willing and able to offer more solid information on the game's various systems.

First her man, and now her style! Looks like Lady Gaga has a lot in common with Miss Piggy these days. When the outrageous pop star showed up to the VMAs arm-and-arm with Kermit the Frog, we knew Miss Piggy wouldn't be happy. But to add insult to injury, Lady Gaga turned up at the Marc Jacobs show wearing the exact same dotted dress Marc Jacobs had customized for the Muppet! And while Lady Gaga might hang out with Madonna and be the talk of New York Fashion Week, you just can't mess with a feisty pig. We're sure Miss Piggy isn't going to stay quiet for long, but until then… Tell us: Who rocks Marc Jacobs better: Miss Piggy or Lady Gaga?

Putting a 'fat finger' on welfare's woes
As Gov. Deval Patrick's welfare "leakage" continues draining billions from the state budget, the Democrats find themselves reduced to ever more farfetched reasons for not coming to the aid of U.S. citizens who actually, you'll pardon the expression, work.What, praytell, does Rep. Conroy blame MA welfare fraud on?
As always, the liberals say it's about "refugees," not illegals. And there's some court decision from 1977 — about 20 million illegal aliens ago. But the illegal-alien apologists always need new excuses, and this week's welfare Alibi Ike is Rep. Tom Conroy (D-Wayland).
"You need to scrub the data and find out if it was fat fingers yielding bad data."
Yes. That's exactly it. Millions of tax dollars are being wasted, thousands of dead people are getting EBT benefits, and thousands more are actively defrauding the system because the analysts were accidentally keying the wrong information.
Representative Conroy, that's BARELY a step above "the dog ate my constituent" here.
What's even more laughable is Cadillac Deval's assertion that the system is "99% percent accurate". We know of several thousand EBT cards that went to either dead recipients or fradulent ones. These are the ones that have been discovered. Does Governor Deval think that these are the only mistaken or fradulent benefits out there? Really? This man's not fit to run a lemonade stand, let alone a state.
So, there you have it - Massachusetts, proudly making California look rational...
That is all.

Jerking off in Public
Unlike most of the people who post on this site I am NOT a 19 year old blonde with a beautiful body. What I am is a middle age women with a "Full Figure"(which means I am a little Heavy). I still enjoy s** with my Husband when we can find time from the three kids, it just isn't as often or as fast as it use to be.
Now here is my story. Last week my car needed to go into the Repair shop for some work. My husband took the car and dropped it off for me and I got his truck to do my "chores". I hate his truck, it is one of those big things that has the big tires and it sits way up high. He likes to go with the boys and drive it in the mud, I guess it is a Guy Thing. He hit a big rock last week and rather than get it fixed he uses the passenger door to get in and out. I took his truck to the Mall and rather then moving it several times I just parked in one location and made trips back and forth to the truck. On one trip back to the truck I noticed that in the car next to me was a young man eating his lunch. I didn't realize that it was noon already and had forgotten to cancel a dentist appointment. I hopped into the passenger seat and made my phone call. I looked down at the car next to me and this young man had it p**** out and was stroking himself. My first reaction was to lean on the horn and scare the s*** out of him but then he took the car key and poked a hole in the bottom of his empty drink cup. My curiosity got the better of me so I figured I would watch for a while. He pushed his thumb into the hole to make it bigger and then inserted his p**** into the bottom of the cup. His pants were pulled down below his knees and his shirt was pulled up to show off some nice abs and he must have Super Sized that meal to get his p**** to fit inside that cup. I suddenly realized we were parked near one of those Gyms and there were a number of girls walking by in those skimpy out fits they wear to workout in. I guess he was just having dessert after his Happy Meal. His left hand was squeezing his nuts and his right hand was moving the cup up and down on his erection. When one group of young girls went by I knew he "lost it" because his hips came right off the car seat. I would have loved to open my window so that I could have heard him but I didn't want to take a chance of him seeing me. He removed his p**** from the cup, used his hand to j*** himself a few more strokes to get the last few drops out, wiped his p**** head off with the napkin and then stuffed the napkin in the hole in the bottom of the cup. As he leaned over to put the cup in the empty lunch bag he looked up and our eyes locked. I was totally embarrassed and could feel my face turning red. He, on the other hand, started yelling at me, called me a pervert for watching him and then flipped me the finger and drove off. I went from embarrassed to p*****. The car had one of those number plates with the letters that spell out something so if I wanted to track him down I could. I told my husband that night and he told me he sees that all the time sitting that high in traffic. He told me it is not only the guys with their d**** out but he sees a lot of "b***** shots".
Was I wrong to watch? I feel a little embarrassed because I did enjoy it. I was just mad because he yelled at me. Did I do anything wrong?

If someone is doing something in public and yes a car in a lot is public then if they can be seen it's fair game. I have stroked myself in public and I have been caught. I don't get off on being caught. Not at all..but it's a risk
Where do you leave be? I'll do it for you anytime and never make you feel guilty about it!
Wish there were more open minded women like you around!
I jerked off on a plane
I'd have invited you in for round 2!
You were right to watch. I wish you could watch me
You did nothing wrong. Watching is quite natural and can enhance s** later or even at the time.
I j*** off naked in public constantly. I love being caught by women. It turns me on. I'll sit on my back porch during some days and go at knowing I'm being watched. Love !!
I would have never used the cup!! I would have let you have seen the big stiff c*** in my hand. It would have grown even bigger knowing that a super sexy much older woman was enjoying
Your story is funny , not something you see everyday I would of watched as well so don't feel bad .
I would love to let you watch me. I love it
Omg I would've been the opposite of you and be so revolted.. I'd definitely be laying on my horn to care the s*** out of him LMAO. NO THANKS. Well, I'm sure he just freaked when he saw you so he yelled in a fit of denial, but when he got home he probably had to j*** off again just thinking about getting caught. Weirdos sure are weird, huh? Maybe it's a good thing I have trust issues about relationships, being the young adult asexual girl I am. LOL. (I guess going by the anon below me's standards, I'm not in my right mind :'''( LOL)
So full of you're self , 'revolted', people like are why the world is so PC and F-ed up now 'asexual and SO self important, the fact that you even need to identify a sexual 'young adult girl (definitely not a woman yet), young being key here as you have little to no real relationship experiences and yet you judge others, Self-righteous pompous little minded 'girl' and as this fine LADY pointed out she is NOT like you, and therein lays the most wonderful part of the story , she had NO NEED to be anything but a real person being real and talking a life experience that MANY others enjoy doing , unlike you and your pathetic little girls and your feeble minded friends. Grow up and learn to accept others as they are and NOT JUDGE people least you be judge for running your mouth like the child you sound like (high school maybe) please spare the rest of us you ignorant drivel , I mean you were here on this site reading this story what does that say about you? a perverted internet voyeur that's to scared to be a openly sexual, you still lets what others think of you control your actions?
I would watch and I like being watched. I know I would be j********** watching.
Gosh that sounds so hot, i dont blame you for watching any girl in her right mind would have been watching that. I envy the front row seat you got to that show.
I would love to. Let you watch me. I have done this many times
I'm glad you watched me do it... it was fun knowing that you were watching. I enjoy doing it all the time. The cup helps catch the j*** and makes clean up easier. I would have liked you to stroke it with me and squeeze my b****...maybe nextime you can c** play too!
I dig heavy chicks , not fat , but heavy .. they are soft to cuddle and fun to bounce off a mattress , guys , and gals who think thin is the way to be seriously do not know what they are missing .
but yeah , the w***** is just that .. a w***** .. dont feel bad for having looked at what he was doing in public
if it hadve been a cop watching , hed be charged for public indecency or something
pointing and hystericaly laughing woulda crushed him totally :) remember that for next time , try it , its amazinghow effective it is .
I'm not fat, I'm just not a toothpick like some of these girls now a days. My Husband says I'm not built for speed, I'm built for comfort. Just remember because of your RUDE comments I give the Besy B****** that you are never going to get. Maybe you and the j*** off kid should get together.
Hi i love j********** in my car at mall and letting femalescwatch me. Love slightly heavy women. Yes i would let you watch
Well said! My wife is heavier and we have a very healthy s** life. What is important to us is how we feel about each other. We can keep each other laughing for hours! For those who deem only what you see on the outside as important, you will never be truly happy."A house can be beautiful on the outside, but if the floorboards are rotten on the inside, you'll never live there."
sounds like you need to be in the gym instead of sitting around being a f****** lazy fat ass....no wonder ur husband wants u out the house..what man wants a fat ass woman!!!!?? NO ONE.... UR JUST LIKE THOSE DIRTY OLD MEN LOOKING AT YOUNG GIRLS....EXCEPT UR A DIRTY FAT ASS OLD WOMAN
F*** off you a******
It sounds as if you think you'll never get to a place where you're not in the best shape. Ah, the age of immaturity is upon you young one. Please remember your words as you age and others look at you with the same vileness you now spew.
Speak English dumb ass
You're just mad no one would enjoy watching you j*******.
I was embarrassed that I watched him. I mean he was young enough to be my Son. It bothers me to the point that I confessed to this site. My Husband thinks it is great and wants me to go see the male strippers with some girlfriends. He tells me it is perfectly normal that I watched (and I must admit enjoyed) the young man's show and thinks my girlfriends will agree with him.
You did the right thing. Any real man would have loved to have had you watch. These little p****'s that talk s*** are just jealous because they weren't the ones who got to have a beautiful woman watch them. Live your life your way that makes you happy.
Go to the mall more often in the truck. And wear a skirt. Watch if you see a ggy doing it again
I wish i could see you watching me
H***, if it was ME watching, I would have opened his car door and helped him out with that stiff c*** ! He would not have needed that drink cup, that's fo sho !
Nah, truck drivers see that s*** all the time....i really never had the urge to j****** in public though.....dont really get it.
Try it once you will like it and do it often.

The Economist recently profiled some interesting research showing that European output of scholarly articles was growing faster than that of US departments. Maybe Europe is also catching up in terms of producing PhDs? One swallow does not make a summer, but here is a nice leading indicator... even abstracting for the parental pride factor.
The Review of Economic Studies does a nice thing - every year, it brings seven of the most promising young PhD students who did well on the US academic market over to Europe, where they give seminars at a number of universities. This year, my doctoral student Peter Koudijs will join the RES tour. If I am not mistaken, he is the first UPF doctoral candidate to do so. This is not a small thing - it's equivalent to semi-official confirmation that you were a star of the market in a particular year. What makes this particularly nice is that, until now, there were only a handful of Europeans (meaning, economists with doctorates from European schools) who were on the RES tour until now (Dave Donaldson, now at MIT, and Markus Brunnermeier, now at Princeton, come to mind). Before he goes, he will have to make a decision on where to start his career as an assistant professor, having received a string of top offers, from NWU-Econ and Chicago-Booth to Stanford GSB, LSE-EcHist, and Columbia GSB.

Well I am on day five and I am so proud to say that ,
since the first time I came here on Sunday, you know that day when I was going off my rocker a bit, with that war raging in my head, screaming for help.
I actually have been doing and feeling ok, I am still a little scared at tempting fate by saying that !
I am not symptom free, but it really does not feel too bad,Shhh,still getting the association triggers, but I find I can deal with them by doing a few deep breathing excercises. I have been feeling a slighty spaced out at times, a touch forgetful , oh and apparently I have PNT (post nicotine tension) according to my other half :rolleyes:
A big step for me was , visiting my 74 year old chain smoking mother.
Bless her she only offered me two. I was a bit apprehensive about how I would handle my visit , but it was good , I did not feel the need or desire to smoke, although I have to admit to eating two chocolate biscuits.
I am still reading Alan Carr , I also listen to a hypnosis cd by Susan Hepburn, it came with a book called stop smoking in one hour, she seems to have very similar thinking to Alan Carr.
I visit www. whyquit too.
It is becoming clearer and clearer that the more you educate your mind about what nicotine is and how it affects your thinking , the easier it is to give away.
For a while now, I have been reading about and practising meditation, not too good at it :o, but it seems to help me to be calmer and more grounded person.
Power to your Mind
Anyway enough of my prattle :eek:

What did you dress as?
FINALLY….Costume revealed……Cemetery Stone Angel!!!!
I am happy to tell you I won 1st at the Neighborhood party. I am very grateful for everyone who supported me in this effort. And now you know why I disappeared from baking for awhile.
For those who have asked….This costume took me over a month to develop. The supplies included a bolt of tulle, yarn, glue, tights and several cans of texture spray paint. I have never actually created a costume before…I am always the individual who throws something together the day of. So this year things were going to be different. (That and the fact my neighbors had given me a hard time in the past for the last minute ideas)
What was your most challenging costume ever?
Well….that was fun..now back to baking!

Hard as nails
With the lack of a decent state pension for some of the elderly in Hong Kong (or in some cases lack of children to look after them) many of the elderly are forced to collect cardboard (or anything else they can gather up) in return for money. And not a great deal of money as far as I'm aware.
As if rummaging around in rubbish bins wasn't degrading enough, they've also got to pile it all together and weave through bustling crowds with carts sometimes stacked higher than themselves. Oh and not forgetting a little added 33 degrees and 90% humidity too. I should of really took more pics before posting this, but if your out & about in HK then your sure to see it. The true work horses of Hong Kong.
In the world of cardboard collecting its survival of the fittest..... Would your Grandma survive?

Cameron begins to shift on the European Union
BIT by bit, David Cameron is being forced to shift his position on Britain's relations with the European Union.
A year ago, the Prime Minister said he would never be prepared to take Britain out of the EU. Now he says a future outside the EU is indeed imaginable.
A year ago, he set his face completely against an In/Out referendum. Now he says he just does not want such a vote to take place "immediately".
Yesterday Mr Cameron added a European Army to the list of EU innovations that he will "never" sign us up to – alongside the single currency, the Schengen Agreement on open borders, the fiscal union and the banking union.
the Prime Minister is in now very obviously in danger of bearing the imprint of the last person to have sat upon him
When it comes to European policy, the Prime Minister is in now very obviously in danger of bearing the imprint of the last person to have sat upon him.
The evidence that he makes concessions when under pressure is great news for the Daily Express crusade to force a referendum that will allow this country to leave the EU.
Because the pressure from us is building all the time.

YOU WANNA KNOW something? 3 years ago when I graduated from school I put "design my own business cards" on my to-do list. After
many failed no attempts I was starting to doubt it would ever actually happen. It's the classic shoemaker's kid never has shoes thing (that's a thing right?).
Most designers will tell you it's impossible to design stuff for themselves. For the most part I agree. There's no real deadline, no real budget and no parameters you must play within. The world is your oyster and although that sounds amazing it's actually ridiculously daunting.
For some reason though when I started designing the Piccolo Design Co. brand it just came so naturally to me. Like nothing I'd ever designed before. I was actually initially set on calling my business Whim & Wit and spent hours labouring over a design trying to make that work. In a fit of fury I looked down at my notebook and gave PDC a shot. I basically just typed it and fell in instant-love. The rest is history (if you can count 7 months as history, that is).
So after a long three years, I can finally cross that to-do item off my list. Actually I've had them for a few months now so I guess I can finally cross "share them on my blog" off my list.
I printed them with www.moo.com and was really pleased with how they turned out. I decided on the Luxe line because I love me some thick paper stock. It was totally worth shelling out a little extra for. I was also pleasantly surprised (and impressed) with the delivery of the cards, they came in a cute little white case that made the whole thing feel even more premium. I'd definitely recommend Moo to anyone looking to get stuff printed.
So – now that they are out there, what do you think?!

The Islamification of Buffalo
2 Comments · Posted by Bradlaugh in Uncategorized
One of the best special-interest bloggers is Ann Corcoran of Refugee Resettlement Watch. She knows her territory well and comes up with some amazing stories. The importation of refugees — a high proportion of them fraudulent (90 percent according to Don Barnett) is an appalling racket that cries out for reform; but of course, any politician who said so aloud would be accused of wanting to slam the nation's door in the faces of the homeless, tempest-tost, etc.
Ann's post today is about the sensational growth of Islam in western New York state. Huge loser from that growth? The Catholic Church. Major enabler of that growth? The Catholic Church. You can't make this stuff up.
[I note that the region Ann's writing about belongs to the "burned-over district" of the early 19th century.
The name was inspired by the notion that the area had been so heavily evangelized as to have no "fuel" (unconverted population) left over to "burn" (convert).
Something in the water up there, perhaps.]

Would it be asking too much for the Catholic Church to focus on resettling Christians being driven out of the Middle East?

Dear Richard !
How will you evaluate the importing of a Lebanese (Mr. Carlos Slim) to Mexico ?
Respectfully yours, Florida resident.

School and County: Diversity is our Strength
I am writing about the culture at Evergreen. But first, let's start with some geography: there are about 196 countries in the world. That's counting Vatican City, Monaco, Liechtenstein, the Marshall Islands and several other countries that are less than 100 square miles in size.
We live in Montgomery Country, Maryland which happens to be 491 square miles. At the most recent Montgomery College commencement speech, Dr. Wallace D. Loh, President of the University of Maryland pointed out that there are 170 countries represented in the current student body. This county is a magnet for those around the world looking for brighter future. He addressed the graduates, "When I looked at you standing in line outside, I saw our future."
Dr. Loh continued, "It reminded me of [the opening ceremony at the] Beijing Olympics. China walked in and I saw Chinese faces. Nigerians walked in and I saw African faces. Russians walked in and I saw Slav faces. Americans walked in and they looked like the world."
Evergreen, too, looks like our future. Our diversity is our strength. As the most diverse member of the Association of Independent Maryland Schools, Evergreen is on the forefront of private education. What Dr. Loh said to the Montgomery College graduates applies to us at Evergreen: "It is not only what you know and what skills you acquire, it is your values that count," he said. "Our values define us as Americans. Difference is respected and valued and common culture nurtured."
Here, in the Montessori tradition, the value and culture of learning from one another runs deep. Thanks to all the parents and visitors who have been in class to share a special part of their background, tradition, culture or skill with our students. You make us great.
Governance. Do You Care? You Should.
As a parent, how much do you know about governance at Evergreen School? Do you care? Of course, your primary concern is your child's experience: is he or she happy at school? Is he or she learning? Making friends? Developing habits of mind and character that will guide him or her throughout life?
If you are like most parents, you also want your child's teacher to be loving, upbeat, well trained and supported. You want the school's administration to be open, communicative and committed to creating the best learning experience for all students. And you want the school to be careful stewards of your tuition dollars.
To achieve these goals, Evergreen was established as a non-profit, Board-governed, accredited, mission-driven, independent Montessori school. The school is not owned by any person or group. All the school's assets are held in trust and surplus revenues must be retained by the school for its self-preservation. Since we are a registered non-profit, all gifts to the school are tax deductible.
Evergreen's all-volunteer Board is focused on furthering the school's mission and ensuring the school's perpetuity. They formulate policies and give direction to the Head of School. The Board hired and supervises me, and I am responsible to them for the day-to-day running of the school. Like other private school boards, they set the annual budget and establish the long-range vision for the school. One school consultant has said, "The Board's core activity is planning, and the Board's primary constituency is not today's students but the students of the future."
On Saturday, our nine-member Board and I participated in an all-day retreat with independent school consultant Stephen DiCiccio. Stephen founded Educational Directions Incorporated and works with schools around the world on strategic planning initiatives, governance issues, and Head searches.
We were very fortunate to have Stephen with us. He covered topics such as the Board's legal and fiduciary responsibilities, the relationship between the Board and the Head, trends in independent education and more. I hope you share my gratitude for all our board's thoughtfulness, dedication and passion for Evergreen School. We wouldn't be the great school we are without them.
Art and a Montessori Education
I visited my old pals at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC on Friday. Lucky me. I hitched a ride downtown with our elementary class's field trip. We stopped in to see Manet, Degas, and Cassatt and their friends in the Impressionism galleries.
While the National Gallery is a familiar place to me, I was surprised by our students' reaction to it. They were hushed as they looked deeply into each painting. No swiveling of heads to snoop on noisy tour groups trouncing by. No bumping, poking or fiddling. Thanks in part to our excellent docent's spiraling questions, students unpacked the meaning in each work: the artists' technique, the composition, the subject, the historical context. They made connections to their classroom research projects and asked insightful questions: "Why didn't Manet paint wealthy people?" "Why isn't there a train in The Railway?"
So why were our students so interested in these paintings? Perhaps because the art is beautiful, inspiring, and engaging. How lucky are we to live near the National Gallery!
It is more than that. Most chaperones on field trips would re-write the adage, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink" to "you can lead a student to an art gallery, but you can't make her appreciate the art." You can command looking, but nothing more. A gallery trip designed as forced cultural enrichment is bound to fail.
Our students looked deeply because they are motivated learners. Our teachers have, as Alfie Kohn wrote last year in The English Journal, "worked with [our] students to create a classroom culture, a climate, a curriculum that nourishes and sustains the fundamental inclinations that everyone starts out with: to make sense of oneself and the world, to become increasingly competent at tasks that are regarded as consequential, to connect with (and express oneself to) other people."
These are the same motivators that led to the creation of these masterpieces in the first place. Art opens up the world so we can better understand what it means to be human. So does a Montessori education.
And I am sure that each child will be more than happy to return to the gallery to visit his or her new friends, Degas, Manet, and Cassatt, too.

We're going down south today for a swanky monogrammed wedding. Last December, Lauren and Brian tied the knot at the Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club just outside Atlanta. With its magnificent expanse of hunting grounds and picture perfect amenities, the club was the perfect backdrop for Lauren and Brian's winter wonderland wedding!
Drawing inspiration from the club's preppy and masculine feel, we created pieces that held a Ralph Lauren, lodge feel. Starting with their save the date, we incorporated one of the couple's (several) custom wedding monograms at the top. We also added a traditional plaid lined envelope, because nothing says southern and preppy wedding like plaid! Many times couples with weddings close to Christmas choose to incorporate red into their big day, but Lauren and Brian wanted something different, and we fully supported the hunting lodge look over the metallics and poinsettias.
Lauren and Brian's letterpressed wedding invitations represent everything good about this hunting lodge wedding venue and reception. When guests opened the plaid lined envelopes, you just couldn't help but think of dark wood and a Ralph Lauren-esque club setting. The bride and groom couldn't choose which custom wedding monogram they liked best, so they chose to use all three monograms in their invitation suite. While many couples often choose a lettered monogram, we like to go above and beyond and add in other elements that are a reflection of their big day. In this case, we had to use the oh so trendy fox; after all it WAS held at the Foxhall Resort and Hunting Club. Enjoy this elaborate and impeccably branded monogrammed Southern wedding! And remember...just because it's a winter wedding, doesn't mean you have to use red!
Dying for more pictures of Lauren and Brian's big day? Be sure to visit our real wedding gallery, which has more pictures of their monogrammed Southern wedding, as well as many more custom Nico and Lala weddings!

The rapid pace of development over the past few decades that has made China the world's second largest economy has also caused another growth explosion–an unprecedented wave of urbanization.
Learn more about China's 10 largest cities, according to United Nations 2010 metropolitan area estimates, in the slide show below. It should be noted that establishing population count for these cities is notoriously difficult, in part because so many people have migrated within the country.
"China [has moved] one percent of its population from villages to cities every year during the last 30 years, which amounts to a total of 390 million people, larger than the entire population of the U.S.," Geng Xiao, co-founder of the Urban China Initiative and director of the Columbia Global Center for East Asia in Beijing, said in a email.
By 2025, China is on pace to have 219 cities with more than one million inhabitants and 24 cities with more than five million people, predicted a McKinsey Global Institute report.
"A city with a million people doesn't necessarily count as a big city in China now," said Jeffrey Wasserstrom, a China expert and history professor at the University of California Irvine. "You can have a city twice the size of San Francisco and it's seen as smallish."
Top-tier cities Beijing and Shanghai continue to attract workers to their financial and industrial sectors, and their infrastructures received big boosts from hosting the 2008 Olympics and the 2010 World Expo, respectively. But other less well-known cities, notably Shenzhen, Chongqing and Dongguan are also seeing rapid growth and establishing themselves as manufacturing powers.
The Chinese government was long resistant to people moving within the country, Wasserstrom said, but has had to loosen those controls in order to foster the rapid growth he says has become addictive.
While moving to cities has raised the quality of life for many Chinese people, the large migration has also raised some big issues. Workers have been unable to access some social services, like education, in their new locations, said Kam Wing Chan, a professor in the Center of Studies in Demography and Ecology at the University of Washington. There are also high levels of pollution and environmental degradation in many of China's booming cities.
One major economic concern that has arisen is a possible housing bubble building in some of the largest cities, Chan said.
"The tremendous speculation of urban housing in China over the last two or three years has pushed a lot of growth in these cities," he said. About 20 percent of the newly built housing is still unoccupied, according to Chan.
However, one problem that has been largely avoided is the development of large urban slums, said Wasserstrom.
"The worst poverty in China is largely still rural, as opposed to that glaring urban poverty," he said. "Part of allowing people to work in the cities is…to get some money flowing into the countryside."
In order to keep up the pace of urbanization China is experiencing, the country would need to move more than 230 million more people to cities in the next 20 years, said Xaio, and all of them would be looking for jobs.
"The Chinese countryside is overburdened with a huge amount of population," said Chan. "The only way to solve that is to generate jobs in the non-farm sector in these cities."

The untold story of the Japanese reaction to the Doolittle raid.
"They shot any man, woman, child, cow, hog, or just about anything that moved, They raped any woman from the ages of 10 – 65, and before burning the town they thoroughly looted it."

Clearly, such a dry description omits the sheer magnitude of horror and misery of these events. I view this fact as a double-edged sword...
I wonder how many of our supposed betters will treat us with the same viciousness, when we don't bow down to their demands. I've no doubt there are plenty of collectivists who will be happy to act this way against conservatives, libertarians and Constitutionalists...

This week Maduro's government and official media have insisted on presenting the confessions of José Pérez Venta and Carlos Trejo, the main suspects in the murder case of Liana Hergueta, as evidence, the only presented so far, that there is a broad conspiracy by Colombian paramilitaries and the local opposition to destabilize the country.
The Agencia Venezolana de Noticias (AVN) is refuting the claim made by "national and international media that the [Hergueta] case was a police [sic] case, apparently isolated, of a murder of a women for money, when in truth it is the evidence of a direct relationship between right-wing groups in Venezuela and Colombian paramilitarism and its criminal practices."
For AVN Pérez Venta's confessions have "clearly stablished this criminal relation of antichavista sectors with paramilitary groups of Colombia."
The PSUV governor of Aragua Tareck El Aissami also revealed in a news conference this week that Pérez Venta had confessed to being part of a plan to murder Daniela Cabello, the daughter of the president of the National Assembly Diosdado Cabello.
El Aissami said that this newly revealed part of Pérez Venta's confession is evidence that "the opposition is engaged in the most disgusting violent plans against the country."
However the pro-government news portal La Tabla (here reposted by Aporrea) reports that Andrea González and Dany Abreu, the two organizers of the plan to murder Daniela Cabello according to Pérez Venta, are a pastry cook and a student of electrical engineering with no links to the case, apart from Pérez Venta having named them.
