Giuseppe Verdi's life
Giuseppe Verdi is considered the greatest Italian opera composer of the nineteenth century. Born in 1813, he began to compose music at a young age, Lavigna, teacher and composer and conductor at La Scala, accepted him as a student. Verdi continued his studies until 1835. He score 28 works, to which must be added five rearrangements. In his works the masterly grasp of technique and drama is put at the service of an expression of intense romantic passions.
Verdi was not a intellectual or theoretical composer but preferred to entrust his aesthetic ideas to musical works rather than the pamphlets and was always more appreciated from the public than critics. In fact, during his whole productive career, he was not only a composer but a man of theater, which earned him the nickname of playwright in music.
Verdi's operas are always characterized by the search of a solid dramatic unity: within always new and exciting subjects, he looked for the right stage word, the most appropriate relationship between words and music, both at the service of the dramatic action. He was thus not only the national witness of the Risorgimento musician, but a creator of real characters with a range of feelings and psychological attitudes. Verdi reflects behavioral models of his era in his dramas, but moreover he captures the contradiction, sometimes tragic, between the desire for happiness of the individual and the laws, institutions or social duties that oppress him.

Verdi's Falstaff
Falstaff is the last masterpiece from Giuseppe Verdi's genius, who composed it at the age of 80. It marks the beautiful collaboration with the librettist Arrigo Boito, after the success of Otello. Once again, Shakespeare's The merry wives of Windsor is the main source of inspiration for Verdi. It was greeted at Teatro alla Scala of Milan in February 1893; back then, the public faced what felt like a breath of fresh air, quite unexpected from such an aged musician. The magnificent game of counterpoints in Falstaff, a precious gem on the pentagram, delivers a compact and uniform musical discourse, where the coral effect is better than the solos. The sublime irony, almost melancholic, which covers the opera, softens up finding a solution in the final fugue. "Everything in the world a jest..." it's Verdi's final smiling farewell, from a man who has understood everything by now, to us, the public.
Verdi's La Forza del Destino
La forza del destino, an opera from Verdi's late years, saw the light for the first time in Saint Petersburg in 1862 and then, with many changes, debuted with a new version at Teatro alla Scala of Milan in 1869. Among the changes, for example, regards Don Alvaro who kills himself jumping off a cliff in the first version, while survives and cries his beloved, dead Leonora in the second version. A complex opera needing musical and scenic commitment and offering one of the greatest symphony of Verdi's production, as well as many unforgettable pages, where Verdi's genius writing has reached absolute perfection and expressive intensity. The themes of the story go from the tragedy of History to the characters' personal drama. These characters are moved by something bigger than them, something inescapable, just like Destiny.
Verdi's La Traviata
La Traviata, last chapter of the Trilogy, debuted on 6th March 1853 at the Teatro della Fenice of Venice, wasn't an immediate success. It actually caused a scandal, so much that Verdi was forced to set the story in the Eighteenth Century. The pretentious aristocratic and bourgeois society didn't approve to be mirrored on the stage. In what way they felt offended? The reason lays in the story, which tells the events of a high-class prostitute with a more generous heart than many of the other characters surrounding her. Never forget how the traditionalists dislike contemporary shows. Verdi, with Traviata, writes an absolute masterpiece, modern and once more, innovative, enchanting the character of a woman who's got no equal among the characters in opera literature, Violetta Valery, a blessing and a curse for every sopranos. Beyond the infinite and marvellous musical pages, the image of her, beautiful camellia untimely flowered, who's never going to lose her moving fragrance, stands in the hart and in the eyes of the viewer.
Verdi's Luisa Miller
Luisa Miller debuted for the very first time at Teatro San Carlo of Naples on the 8th of December 1849. To compose this opera, Verdi had chosen a subject taken from the Schiller's drama Kabale und Liebe (Cabals and love) without being complete sure of it. In fact, him and Salvatore Cammarano wrote many letters to each other while writing the libretto. In the plot itself there are things which make the opera a work of transition between Verdi's early productions and his late ones. Once the enthusiasm of '48 was over and the absolutism powers were being re-established, also in melodrama of the Nineteenth Century and most of all in Verdi's one, the ardour of popular culture, clearly patriotic, shifts towards a closer intimacy with middle class colours. Despite being stories more typical of the Romantic period, for their intense passion, they manage to acquire a shape which opens the way to Verdi's following compositions of the Trilogy.
Verdi's Macbeth
Macbeth was put on stage for the first time at Teatro della Pergola in Florence on 14th March 1847. It is definitely one of Verdi's first great masterpieces, stuck in the hectic production of the "prison years", as the very Cigno di Busseto (Verdi's nickname which means Swan of Busseto) defined his work time during the 40's of the nineteenth century. Actually, it was declared a masterpiece when Verdi revised it for the Théâtre Lyrique of Paris in 1865. The orchestra arrangements was partially changed and "polished", a third beautiful aria for the Lady was added ("La luce langue") and substantial changes in the third act were made - among which the addition of dances according to French habits and taste, an amazing music anyway – and in the opera finale. This is the version which is more commonly known and shown today.Through Macbeth, Verdi's musical-dramatic theatre adds a milestone to his creative path.
Verdi's Otello
Otello is the second last opera by Giuseppe Verdi, debuted at Teatro alla Scala in 1887. The poet Arrigo Boito worked on the libretto and he will after submit to the great musician also the libretto of his last masterpiece: Falstaff. Shakespeare's drama lives in Verdi's notes with extreme theatrical intensity, adding value to the characters. It is a musical discourse which unfolds itself on a modern musical thread, anticipating what the following century will embrace. With the usual sensitivity which always characterizes Verdi's characters, great and miserable, here is a new, extraordinary painting of the soul; darker and painful, with its nocturne and intimate colours, he describes one of the wickedest torments of the soul: jealousy.
Verdi's Rigoletto
Rigoletto was first put on stage at Teatro La Fenice of Venice on 11 March 1851 and it is the first piece of the loved and famous Trilogia Popolare (Folk Trilogy) which includes Il Trovatore and La Traviata, marking the turning point of Verdi's artistic maturity. Undoubtedly, there had been Macbeth (which will then become an absolute masterpiece in its 1865 revision) and Luisa Miller before, but it is truly with Rigoletto, imprinting extraordinarily the characters, that Verdi crosses the border to great masterpieces such as Un ballo in maschera, Don Carlo, La forza del destino, Aida to reach Otello and Falstaff. A marvellous music, with moving drama: a revolution for that age.
Verdi's Simon Boccanegra
Simon Boccanegra debuted at the Teatro della Fenice of Venice on the 12th of March 1857. The opera was received with reluctance and Verdi himself, unhappy with Francesco Maria Piave's libretto, asked Arrigo Boito to write a new version for the revision planned to go on stage at Teatro alla Scala, where it debuted on the 24th of March 1881. In the new version, the opera featured the addition of a scene, the one of the Council and the Doge's appeal "Plebe, Patrizi, Popolo", followed by a concertato which ends with the frightful curse against Paolo Albiani. This version maintains the roles and vocal registers, as well as the dark vibe which defines the plot, of the previous one. The added scene gives a new look to Simone's character, underlining the political relevance and a paternal vision which arises from the duet with the daughter Amelia in the first act. This opera, now stable in the repertoire, is fairly considered a masterpiece after the legendary edition directed by Giorgio Strehler and conducted by Claudio Abbado for La Scala.
Verdi's Il Corsaro
Inspired by Byron's work, Il Corsaro by Giuseppe Verdi (1848), is part of the last phase of the so called "prison years" of the author. The plot might sound weak but Il Corsaro has fascinating musical pages, with touching poetry (like Medora's aria) and dramatic writing (Gulnara's lines), not to mention Corrado's passionate and heroic pages, a real Verdian tenor with a touch of romanticism. It represents the missing link between a great masterpiece such as Macbeth and Luisa Miller, another stunning opera, and it comes before the Trilogy (Rigoletto, Trovatore e Traviata), delivering the charm of its imperfection.

In an email to Andrew Leavold Nick Nicholson described working on TRIDENT FORCE and some of it is pretty funny:
"It was almost like shooting a movie with the Adams Family! Norma was confined to a wheel chair. She had something like leprosy. It was eating her fingers and toes away. She was a real firecracker though. She made sure all of her relatives were involved so that they could suck every cent out of the production. She needed Anthony in a bad way. He was her Joker Card with the Escanos. To keep him happy, she encouraged her 18 year old nephew to hang out with Anthony (he was a Top Gay!) The kid later complained to me that his asshole had become like a pork rind! I think you get the picture."
Go here for the whole email.

Thanks to George, a descendant of Walter TURNBULL & Mary TELFORD, I now have copies of several wonderful snippets from his recent visit to the Carlisle Record Office and hope to see if my theories about where his Walter TURNBULL "fits" (refer recent post re Megsmire) hold up to scrutiny.
I've only had a chance for a quick squizz so far, but it's looking good, (and there are one or two other fascinating leads to follow up on).

I think I need to be stopped. As if I wasn't making myself crazy enough, I decided tonight we needed to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Actually, my cousin Hanna, a fantastic food blogger, is really to blame. Sort of.
You see, every effing vegetarian cookbook has a recipe for a black bean burger. Those black bean burgers are unavoidable and inescapable. They have 9000 steps and one of them always involves grinding your own flour out of an oat or stomping barefoot on cashews to make paste. (Any recipe that has me hauling the food processor out of the basement is generally immediately suspect.)
Still, if the black bean burger was a staple, then God dammit I was going to make one.
Until Hanna talked me out of it.
She said the black bean burger would bring me nothing but disappointment and heartache. She said they would either disintegrate on the grill leaving me with an enormous mess and the smell of burning black beans, or they would stay whole (in the oven) but gum up in the kids' mouths leaving them unable to breathe but just able enough to tell me how awful they were.
"You will spend all day making them. Nobody will like them. You will want to cry. Don't waste your time. Sauté the black beans with onions, some cumin and salt, and use that for taco night."
I don't know how often taco Tuesday lines up with Cinco de Mayo, but I now firmly believe that if you celebrate both of them at the same time you will have five years of good luck. Our luck began when we got to have a vegetarian taco night, and I didn't have to use that revolting fake meat, which I have said before I am sure is made from dodgy soy, used car tires, and gum.
Frances discovered that she does after all like black beans. That in and of itself was worth Meatless May.
Even if the beans look like rabbit poo. (I have had several rabbits, so I know of what I speak.)
I like to relish in whatever victories I have, even when they are minuscule. Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

How can runners benefit from Sports Massage? Check out this article from worldrunning.com and then call Elements Massage to schedule your sports massage.
Sports massage is another valuable tool at the disposal of runners. It can make the difference between making the start line of a big race, or breaking down in training and not getting anywhere near an event. So why does it make such a big difference and how often should you think about having it done?
The Sports Massage Association has a clear definition of the work its members do. They describe it as; "…the application of soft tissue techniques with the aim of managing, manipulating and rehabilitating muscles, tendons and ligaments." There are indeed various types of sports massage and it is a good idea to speak to a specialist to see which type would work best for you. But you need to think of it as being like tending to a very expensive car. The more work you do on it, the better it will run! And there are plenty of runners who will testify to the benefits of regular massage.
Injury prevention
If all of your key muscles groups are flexible and loose, there is less risk of injury. Muscles that fit together well and work together as a flexible unit are much less likely to rupture or tear, than stiff, sore muscles which are over-worked. And do bear in mind that sometimes regular massage will detect a small injury before it becomes too serious. Loosening up a tight spot before it turns into a niggling injury, can save the day and make the difference between making the start line or not.
Injury treatment
Massage can also be used as a way of treating an injury. Nasty muscle tears require weeks of physiotherapy and massage to break down haematomas, swelling and scar tissue. Once this has been achieved, full range of movement can be restored. Scar tissue can cause problems because it prevents the muscle fibres from binding together smoothly. Knots can also form if the tissue isn't massaged out thoroughly, and that can impair movement and recovery.
Increased blood flow
Circulation is improved because the lymphatic system is stimulated by the repetitive, continual movement of massaging tissue towards the heart. The blood supply does some good repair work in the body, especially in providing cells with nutrients for growth and repair. It also helps in the waste disposal process, including the elimination of waste products that cells don't want. That also means getting rid of any lingering lactic acid.
Improved flexibility
There is no better feeling than being massaged in an area that you didn't even realise was tight. When a good therapist gets into deep tissue and loosens it, you will feel the difference, and really notice it when you stretch before your next run. A study published in Medicine & Science made some startling discoveries. In it, they focused their massage on just one leg of a group of runners for 10 weeks. In that time they noticed the massaged leg gained four degrees of flexibility and 13 per cent strength, compared to the leg that was not treated.
Research in the Journal of Athletic Training noted a 30 per cent reduction in post-exercise muscle soreness after a runner had been massaged. It is the increased blood flow to the muscles, stimulated by massage and the increase in lymphatic drainage that really helps, disposing of toxins and loosening of sore muscles and knots in the process.
Remember that the soothing words of a therapist can make all the difference. Confirmation that the tightness you've been feeling in a certain part of your body can be a weight off your mind. By the same token, the knowledge that the problem isn't as serious as you thought is also a massive confidence boost. And don't forget that massage also release endorphins into your body, which act as natural painkillers. You will feel better because those painkillers will help reduce any lingering soreness. Your mental calm, coupled with the fact that a good massage always makes you feel tired, will help you sleep better too and suddenly the world will just feel like a happier place.
When should I get a massage?
Opinion is divided on the best time to have a sports massage. Some coaches recommend two or three days out from a big race and then again, if you're an elite athlete, on race morning. Obviously logistics and money can be a factor here. But if you are putting in a heavy weekly mileage in the build up to a marathon, you might want to think about a couple of massages a month. It will be money well spent.

Update on campaign to save Mersey Valley Wardens
"If the Council's draft budget proposals are accepted what are the implications of the disbanding of the Mersey Valley Countryside Warden Service for the future of the Mersey Valley? In particular how does the Council intend to maintain sites such as Chorlton Ees, Ivy Green and Chorlton Water Park and to protect Wildlife?"
Sadly the response was very disappointing and did not elaborate on the Council's long term plans for the Mersey Valley. Cllr Battle did not go into any detail other than to say that this is a budget proposal that is currently being consulted on. She said that following the Consultation a report will be brought to the Council's Executive Committee and Council where the final budget will be set.
I subsequently raised concerns that the consultation has failed to properly inform and consult with residents and Friends Groups. I also asked how the plans will ensure the Council continues to meet its statutory duties to the Mersey Valley. Cllr Battle simply said that there has been a meaningful Consultation and the final recommendation to the Executive will ensure the Council continues to meet its statutory responsibilities.
In light of Cllr Battle's response it is important that we are able to show the strength of feeling about the loss of the Mersey Valley Wardens. Please try and encourage as many friends and family to sign the online Petition (also available to print off): http://campaigns.libdems.org.uk/merseyvalley
The petition will be handed in as part of the consultation process.
If you can, please also respond directly to the Council's Budget Consultation (http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/200024/consultations/5921/budget_consultation_2013-2015). The Deadline for submissions in 20 February.

So the World Cup is now a week old, every team has played at least once. It is now becoming clear whether your team was a sound bet or as dodgy as a Northern Rock balance sheet.
There have already been a few surprises, and those following a minnow may have had a nice surprise. Also those struggling can cling to a few strands of hope as no team has been eliminated thus far.
If like me you have a team you know little about in the office sweepstake, or you have just not bothered with the World Cup so far, I have created a quick summary to get you up to speed.
How is your team doing?
Algeria – A poor start against Slovenia and elimination beckons, unless they pull of a surprise against England. Should Algeria qualify and you live in England you may be forced to change your name, address and seek alternative employment.
Argentina – In Messi you should trust, Argentina recorded one of the most crushing one nil victories you will ever see, in the first game and eventually ran out comfortable winners agains South Korea. Blue and white fireworks will surely illuminate this tournament sooner rather than later.
Australia – Hammered by Germany and unlikely to progress, the players should start booking their plane tickets home.
Brazil – Although they made heavy work of the North Koreans, I would still be happy to have backed Brazil in this tournament. The quality is there for all to see.
Cameroon – Having lost their opening game, there is a lot left to do if Cameroon are to qualify, hope is not yet lost but I would not back my sweepstake team.
Chile – An opening game victory, playing attacking football, what more can you ask for?
Denmark – Lost to Holland but not out of it yet, Nicklas Bentdner and others will need to be at the top of their game for the next two games though.
England – If you don't know how they are doing, just google 'Robert Green' and all will become clear.
France – Started with a draw and this side looks weary, improvement needed from a side that looks devoid of ideas.
Germany – Emphatic win against Australia, people are already taking notice of the Germans in this tournament.
Ghana – Flying the flag for Africa with an opening game win, this side will receive a lot of coverage in a tournament desperate for African success.
Greece – Poor and uninspired, if they cannot improve they will soon be back to the economic turmoil of their homeland.
Holland – Won their first game, should progress from their group with ease.
Honduras – Lost to Chile, things are already looking bleak for one of the teams no one really knows/expects anything from in this tournament.
Italy – Had a poor first game which was the ultimate defence vs. defence battle that somehow produced two goals. After 2006 you should resist the urge to rule out these ageing slow starters.
Ivory Coast – After a battling draw against Portugal, Sven's men need a big win against North Korea, or a miracle against Brazil to progress.
Japan – Secured victory in their opening game, they will be hoping to build on this as expectations back home grow.
Mexico – Only a draw to start the tournament off, massive improvements will be needed in order to prove they can make a mark on this tournament.
New Zealand – The point they got in their opening game was hailed as a miracle for New Zealand, read into that what you like given the opposition was Slovakia.
Nigeria – Massacred in a 1-0 defeat to Argentina, they will be ok if their goalkeeper keeps up the form he showed in that game.
North Korea – Fantastic start, strong favourites to win the tournament, well back home at least. In all seriousness the Koreans showed real passion against Brazil and even got a consolation goal. Unlikely to progress but their compact style may harm the chances of one of the other 'top' sides in the group.
Paraguay – Secured a great result against the holders, but may need to play with more attacking intent to progress.
Portugal – Things just don't seem right in the Portugal camp, a draw in the opening game is ok, however much more is needed. Only so much can be done as a one man team.
Serbia – Having lost their opening game, the Serbians look to be limping out of the tournament; however there is talent in this side. This will need to shine through if they are to reach the second round.
Slovakia – Having failed to beat the worst team in the competition in their first game, I think the Slovakians are finished in the tournament before it has really begun.
Slovenia – Top of England's group with a win, Slovenia have a real chance to upset the apple cart and qualify ahead of the USA or England in group C.
South Africa – Full of heart and with their nation behind them, it looks like this will not be enough to help Bafana Bafana progress. Two gutsy displays have not made up for a lack of discernable talent, only a win against France and a miracle will see them through to the next stage.
South Korea – After winning their first game in an impressive fashion, the Koreans will dream of a repeat of 2002 or even better. Combining a strong work ethic with touches of flair. Despite losing to Argentina, this team has the potential to have a stellar World Cup.
Spain – The favourites lost their opening match to Switzerland, potentially setting up a second round tie with Brazil. Still not out of the running, their Rolls Royce midfield engine needs to start ticking over, and fast.
Switzerland – After beating Spain this team must feel on top of the world, the second round may be their target, but they have certainly already made their mark on the competition.
United States – Brilliant result if not performance against England, confidence must be at an all time high. Slovenia must not be underestimated though and Friday's game will be key to their campaign.
Uruguay – Almost through to the next round, they looked good against France and South Africa. Manchester United fans may not recognise the Diego Forlan of this World Cup compared to his days in England as he fires Uruguay forwards in the competition.
So this is where we stand after one week, in the next few days the group pictures will become a lot clearer and we may start to lose teams.
If you have backed Brazil or Germany you should be very happy with your investment, those following Slovenia, Switzerland, Chile or Uruguay may have been pleasantly surprised by last weeks games.
As we move forwards every team still technically in with a shout, each team is now just 6 games from immortality.

Rolf Harris joined paedophile Jimmy Savile on visits to a mental hospital where the DJ habitually abused patients, it has emerged.
Alison Pink remembered the pair suddenly turning up on a women's ward at Broadmoor just as patients were preparing to undress.
The ex-patient, now called Steven George after a sex change, said: 'He was being shown around by Savile in an understated way. Normally stars only came if they were there for an official performance but Harris didn't do one.
'It was also unusual because visitors would come at visiting hours, between 10am and 4pm, but they came in as we were getting ready for bed.'
News that Harris is a sexual predator has stunned the world and there is an endless stream of reaction from the UK to Australia.
Russell Brand said the news has made him reconsider his views dating back decades.
On his YouTube he said: 'It just makes you feel that reality is very muddled and confusing, like you have to revise your own childhood.'
Meanwhile Labour MP Simon Danczuk has called for Harris' honours to be revoked.
He told Good Morning Britain: 'He's clearly brought the position into disrepute and I think it should be taken away from him forthwith.
'Secondly I would like to see – as many MPs would – an overarching inquiry.'
And then there's the twittersphere…

The Liberal M-P, Wilson Tuckey, believes the acknowledgment of traditional owners is a farce and the Tasmanian Liberal Senator, Eric Abetz has described it as a fad that is starting to fade.
The Federal Liberal leader, Tony Abbott, says making the acknowledgment as a matter of course is tokenistic.
The Premier, Colin Barnett, says Mr Abbott has a point.
"Some people choose to do it at every single event they turn up to," he said.
"I think that is tokenistic but in many formal public occasions where there's a large number of people, I think it's appropriate and it's certainly appropriate where Aboriginal people are involved in the event or in the audience."

The Crazy Bear Beaconsfield opened in 2008 to spectacular international reviews including Conde Nast's Red Hot List for best new hotels in the world.
The oldest documented building in Beaconsfield, a fifteenth century coaching inn, has been meticulously restored and elaborately designed to provide dramatic architecture and uncompromised luxury.
The Crazy Bear Beaconsfield is a unique oasis in quintessential England and the antithesis to bland hotels.
Mr Q and I have visited the Crazy Bear a number of times and it remains today as one of our favourite quirky but opulent places to spend time. We have yet to stay here but when we do we will be booking into Suite 10. With all that black and silver, leather floors and the mirrors on the ceiling, I am not sure if this is quirky or a little kinky. Whatever you want to say about the bedrooms they are dramatic. I just wish all my bedrooms were as dramatic.
The Crazy Bear is inspiring.
Just make sure you go and leave enough time to take it all in. Wonderful.

Countdown to Christmas - I'm such a failure!
Two little lavender hearts with applique underwear. AND I've forgotten to photograph the backs of them which are blue cotton print. I'm in the process of making 6 sets of these in different colours:
As you can see, the purple ones, the pink ones (I left the bra in the lavender pot mid fill!) and the green knickers are sewn, ready to fill and seal, the green one hasn't even got to that stage and the turquoise and orange sets are still unembroidered! I'm rubbish. Sorry Cathy, bumper crop for November's Countdown post, I promise.
I did manage to start on another gift (also supposed to be ready for this post!) which is from my Craft Book Challenge - the patchwork pig. I've sewn my first two pieces of patchwork!
I'm ridiculously proud of it! OK, it's only 20cm x 20cm and some of the seams are pretty wonky but it was quite easy and I enjoyed it and that's what counts!! My friends and relatives WILL be getting wonky presents this year, they can like them or lump them!

Thanks for entering my giveaway. Good luck! Those lavender sachets are so cute. I was born in UK to Australian parents. My parents brought us back to Australia when I was a little girl. I have really enjoyed "meeting" all the bloggers in this giveaway. Blogland is a wonderful place full of generous and talented people. I'll come and visit you again soon.

Please don't get down on yourself, you are doing a great job!!! The idea is that the more gifts we work on now, means the less nights we will be up until 2 AM in December getting stressed out trying to finish up those Christmas gifts and you have a very good start♥ :)
I ♥LOVE♥ your lavender heart sachets!!! What a "cute" idea :)
I have you entered in the drawing and linked up. Thanks for playing along!

NVIDIA expected to move to 40nm in April
begins with entry level GT218
By: Steve Dougherty | Posted: Jan 29, 2009 6:37 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Along with ATI, NVIDIA is also looking to shift down to 40nm in the near future, first incorporating the more efficient package into an entry-level part codenamed GT218.
Hardware-infos has acquired a bit of info about the chip which will be the GeForce 9300 series (G98) successor. It is said to have 32 stream processors, 8 texture memory units and 4 raster operations pipelines. The memory bus will stay at 64-bit whilst the TDP rating drops down from around 30W on the G98 to 22W for the new 40nm part.
GT218 powered cards are expected to arrive sometime in April.

Fashion Felonies
I have often been told that I am overdressed. Which proves to me that the people telling me that aren't visually impaired, because yes, I am often overdressed.
Well, to others I am overdressed. To me, I call it Tuesday.
I have also been told I have a rather large and strange imagination.
So we can conclude from this that my reason for overdressing is because I think I am going to run into Anna Wintour who will throw a job at Vogue right at me.
Ok, I will keep dreaming.
Well until that day comes, I will list a few fashion felonies that far too many people are victim to. And I think it is safe to say everyone has been insulted by at least one of these. If you are going to read any further you need to get rid of the excuse of "but it's so comfortable" or "you don't understand." I am human, so I do understand but frankly you are judged based on what you wear. Love it or hate it, that's the truth.
So at the risk of being hated I will take one for the team. Here goes…
1) Wife beaters are gross. There is a reason they are called wife beaters, and there is a reason I wore them only during my Middle School years.
By wearing a wife beater you are saying that you support men beating their wives because you wear what they wear. It's like if I were to wear a keffiyah on my head, that would mean that either I am a suicide bomber, I support suicide bombers or I am a wannabe and/or confused hipster. All of which are inexcusable. Solution- buy a normal white tank top. Tada problem solved.
2) People also have this tendency to wear ripped clothes. At the risk of sounding like a middle-aged woman, I don't understand why someone would pay money for something that is ripped.
Would you spend $300 on a broken iPhone? No.
So why spend who knows how much money on a pair of essentially broken jeans or a shirt? It looks like you had to run out of the dressmakers before she could finish tailoring your clothes.
God gave me the gift of honesty so I'll use it- you look like a mess. I promise everyone was thinking it and no one wanted to say it.
3) If you are going to wear a shirt with writing please take the following precautions before going out in it:
a) Do you understand what it means? If you don't you probably shouldn't wear it.
b) Is this the message you wish to convey? Because if it is, then no, I won't eff off. I don't want to go home with you. I don't want to give you money. I don't want to do drugs with you.
c) If you understand what the shirt means and will knowingly go out wearing a PG-13 shirt that could possibly get you arrested, just do a quick spell check. There are too many times people walk out in shirts where everything is spelt purposely wrong.
Ah ha, I see the light bulbs going off. Yes, that is why you bought it for $5 in an outlet store.
4) I am saying this as a total outsider so forgive me if easier said then done, but I don't think that is the case. If you are going to wear a strapless or sleeveless shirt/dress please buy yourself a strapless bra. It is so tacky to have your straps sticking out.
You could be wearing straight off the runway Marc Jacobs, but if your straps are sticking out you really cheapen the look of the dress. Sorry for coming off so hard, but if that's what I need to do to be the bearer of truth then for the sake of a better tomorrow I will do it.
5) Let's define our terms shall we?
According to the Webster's Dictionary pajamas mean "a lightweight suite designed for sleeping or lounging."
Is there a bed or a couch in your classrooms, or your mall, or your gym, or your car, or your supermarket or your…? No! So why do way too many people go out in their polka dot pajama pants and matching tank top? Or their sweatpants and some t-shirt that you got when you graduated high school? We will just make this the eighth wonder of the world.
No one, except for my family and my roommates know what my pajamas look like and unless someone is planning on hosting a pajama only party no one will ever know, because pajamas are "a lightweight suite designed for sleeping or lounging."
6) One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone is wearing a beautiful outfit. Perfect head until ankles. Her hair is miraculously not frizzing up in this ridiculous humidity. She is wearing the perfect summery dress. The right sunglasses. All is great. Practically Olivia Palermo worthy, which is a big deal.
At this point I am thinking, "well shoes really make an outfit so she must be wearing something rocking." I look down. And what do I see? Flip-flops. I mean really? You can't put in some more effort? You did your hair, your makeup, the perfect outfit and you choose to use flip-flops as your statement shoe? It just doesn't work like that.
If you are going to look good then go all the way. Don't go 95% of the way. It's just not fair to anyone.
It goes without saying that there is more to a person then what he/she wears. Beauty and confidence come from the inside and overshadow outside appearances. However, at the end of the day whether you like it or not, first impressions and judgments are based on what you wear. There is a reason that there are different rules for what to wear for an interview, to work, on a date, or during the weekend.
If you want to be taken seriously or be listened to, it is imperative to dress the part.
What you wear matters primarily because you matter. And because showing random people your bra strap is inappropriate.

I was as surprised as anyone when Jada Pinkett Smith's son, Jaden, asked to be an emancipated minor when he turns 15. You would think he would LOVE living with two of the coolest parents in the world! It's not like his parents are like Ariel Winter's mom. But it also got me wondering what the laws are about emancipation. How does this all work, anyway? Can a kid and his parents just ... you know, declare it and go from there?
Turns out it's a wee bit more complicated than that. Still, there are some 20 million emancipated minors in the U.S. Here's the 101 on becoming an emancipated minor and the most common reasons for it.
Laws vary from state to state. Just saying that up-front. The following are generalizations, but things may be different depending on where you live.
A court decides. In most states you can't just declare yourself emancipated. You have to file a petition with family court and prove that you can support yourself. Then a judge decides if it's in your "best interest" to be emancipated from your parents. Except in cases of abuse, that's not easy to prove. However, emancipation is usually granted if the parents agree to it.
It's partly about work and money. A large part of becoming an emancipated minor is that it allows a minor to sign contracts without their parents' permission or even influence. So in Jaden's case, this means he can choose movie roles without checking with his parents first.
Why? There are many reasons why a minor would want to be emancipated from their parents: To join the military at the age of 17, if you've graduated high school early and are starting college, if you get married, if your parents are abusive or neglectful, if your parents are taking advantage of money that is legally yours but that they have stewardship over. Kids sometimes petition if they have philosophical or religious difference with their parents, but those are seldom granted.
Emancipation from foster care. This is a whole 'nother thing. Kids who emancipate from child welfare have a harder time finding food and shelter and are more likely to end up in prison. Unfortunately, these kids are usually leaving foster care because it's failed them already, so this is a problem all of society shares.
Is it worth it? Many emancipated youth think they are ready to live on their own, but find out that it's actually a lot harder than they anticipated. Half of minors are unemployed within two to four years of emancipation. And 40 percent are homeless within 18 months, according to studies by Every Child Foundation and the John Burton Foundation. And yet, in some cases, it turns out to be the best choice a teen can make.
Do you know anyone who became an emancipated minor?

Everything happens for a reason: yikes … seriously? Rather than being overly dependant on the need for things to make sense, we should just accept that often (very often) things happen for no reason - things just happen - random things - chaotic things. A church falls over and kills the fifty people deep in prayer - for no reasons other than sub-standard engineering or bad construction. Acceptance of the fact that life can be a chaotic and often unpredictable experience, can be in itself, somewhat comforting. This is life … a lot of life is chaotic and unpredictable … sometimes stuff happens for a reason , sometimes for no reason that makes sense … it just happens. If anything, we are adaptable … go with that! - JBW

Dawson's Creek: Dawson's Freak Part 5 (f/f,m/f,rough,ncon)
by Pred
"Come on, bitch, ride that black dick," Joey Potter couldn't help giggling
as she cautiously thrust the long black strap-on dildo between the flooded
tunnel of Andie's blonde cunt.
"Noo, Joeey," Andie whined. "Not like that. You have to REALLY talk dirty
to me. You have to mean it. You have to fuck me like a whore and get me all
hot before I cool off. Please, Joey .. please .."
"I'm sorry, Andie, I just don't .."
"Joooeeeyyy!" Andie bawled. "You promised. You said you would. You said
you'd fuck me like a slut and make me cum. YOU PROMISED!"
"But I just don' think I can .."
"Joeeey .."
* Fine!* Joey gritted her teeth. * Anything to shut up that stupid
whining. * She re-adjusted her angle of entry and tried to fuck her friend
harder. "Come on, bitch, ride that big black dick." Joey bit her tongue
while she spoke to stop from giggling. * This is just SO silly, * she mused
to herself. * Man, is this girl fucked up. * Still, if this was what got
Andie off then Joey at least had to try.
In little over an hour that afternoon, Andie McPhee had taught Joey Potter
more about sex than Joey had learned in the previous fifteen years of her
life. Andie had introduced Joey to feelings, emotions and pleasures the
dark-eyed beauty couldn't have even conceptualized before. Joey felt
something very deep and connected with Andie, and she wanted to repay her
friend for everything she'd selflessly given that day. * If only she'd just
cut it with the whining .. * Joey smiled to herself.
"Oh, please, Joey, stop .. that's too hard. Your big black dick is too huge
and hard .." Andie bawled.
"Sorry," Joey stopped thrusting, her face suddenly flush with concern.
"NO, JOOEEEYY," Andie shrieked. "Why did you stop?"
"Because you just told me .."
"FUCK ME, Joooeey," Andie screeched. "Fuck me like a whore. You don't
listen to what a whore is saying. You just fuck her brains out. The more
she cries and begs you to stop, the harder you fuck her."
"Who are you?" Joey asked rhetorically.
"Okay, okay," Joey nodded. "So when you say 'Stop' you mean 'Go'."
"But what if you really want me to stop?" Joey asked, truly confused.
"Listen, if I'm really going to fuck you hard I need to know when I might get
too rough."
"Okay, let's do a safe word," Andie hissed impatiently.
"A safe word?"
"Yes, it's a word we choose. When I say it, that means you stop. That way
there's no confusion."
"What about 'stop'?" Joey half-joked.
"Jooeey?!" Andie whined.
"Okay, okay .."
"I'm cooling down, Jooeey," Andie complained. "I can't have multiple orgasms
if I cool down. Choose a word. Quick. Something that will catch your
"Something that will catch my attention .." Joey's voice dropped off, and a
smile curled over her cute, crooked features. * Perfect! * "Dawson," she
told Andie. "That's the safe word. You say 'Dawson', and then I'll stop."
"Okay, now. Quick! Coem on, Joooeey."
"Quit fucking whining, bitch!" Joey lashed out, and her hand struck Andie
across the face with a loud SLAP!
"Oh, Joey, don't .. stop .." Andie pouted, rubbing her stinging face.
* No 'Dawson', * Joey observed. * Now I get it. This could be kind of cool
actually. * "Stop whining, bitch," Joey slapped Andie again and noticed that
girl's blonde pussy had really begun to get wet. "You will lie there and
take this like the whore you are!" Joey spit in Andie's face, wondering just
how far her friend would take the game.
Andie just wiped the spittle from her eyes and licked it with her tongue.
"Don't hurt me, Joey. I'll be good. I'll be a good whore. I swear."
"SHUT UP .. CUNT!" Joey slapped her again, even harder. She saw Andie
start slightly when she heard the "C" word, but the blonde girl didn't say
anything. "You want this big black dick up your worthless pussy, don't you,
you slut ..?" Joey teased her friend, rubbing the bulbous head of the black
dildo against the outside perimeter of Andie's lathering labia.
"No .." Andie whined, only this time Joey didn't find it annoying, but
incredibly sexy. "Please .. stop .. don't rape me .. I'm not a whore ..
help!" she kicked her legs about trying to squirm out from underneath Joey.
Joey was ready now. She pushed down on the pretty blonde and dug her
fingernails into Andie's bare, soft, pale breasts.
"No .. stop .. rape .. rape .." Andie called out.
"Fucking whore!" Joey did not know where the words came from, or the
brutality of her thrust as she bucked her hips and sank every inch of the
long black strap-on dildo into Andie's sweltering snatch. "Rape my ass, you
slut! You can't rape a whore. Whores just ask for it, isn't that right,
whore ..? You're just begging for it, aren't you ..? Just begging to be
stuffed with my big black dick ..?!"
"No .." Andie sobbed as she began fucking her hips up the hard length of
Joey's artificial slut-buster. Her creamy tummy and succulent boobs jiggled
and bobbled as Joey bent down and slammed more and more of the dildo into
Andie's sweltering snatch. "Oh, you're killing me. Why are you hurting me
like this? Oh, please .. stop .. stop .. Rape! Rape!" she bellowed.
"That's it, slut, I like listening to you cry." Joey had really worked up
to a furious pace now. She could hear the sucking pop of the dildo breaking
the vacuum-seal of Andie's tight pussy every time she withdrew the cock
to the edge of the blonde's pussy lips before stabbing it back in again.
Andie's pussy wept for mercy as Joey battered and butted the dildo into the
deepest reaches of her friend's womb.
Andie was just moaning "no" and "stop" now, and Joey gazed down upon
her passive beauty. Joey was extremely wet now, and she envied the
thrash-fucking Andie was getting now. Although the feeling of fucking the
girl fetal was exhilarating, Joey wanted more.
"Suck my tits, cunt!" Joey grunted. She yanked Andie's head up by her hair
and made Andie bend her neck so that her lips were on Joey's pointy nipples.
"Little dyke cunt slut. Suck my tits, whore." Joey bit her bottom lip and
closed her eyes as Andie's mouth sobbed over her firm, small breasts.
For the next several minutes, Joey ground her hips and pummeled Andie's pussy
while the blonde bent her neck and sucked Joey's perky little boobs.
"Now, I'm going to fuck you like the bitch you are, slut?" Joey pushed Andie
away suddenly and forcefully spun her on her creamy tummy.
"No .. please .. stop .. I'll do anything .. I'll give you anything .. just
stop .. please, just stop .."
"Yeah, right," Joey Potter didn't know where this new attitude came from, but
she liked it. "FUCK YOU!" she sneered before impaling Andie's sopping snatch
with a brutal dildo thrust. "Ride that big black dick, you stupid whore.
Stupid fucking slut. FUCK YOU!"
"Ohh ..no .. god .. please .. no .. no .. no .." Andie's pussy was a geyser
now. Her fuck froth was everywhere. The smell spurred Joey on to an even
more intense fury.
"You're cumming, slut, aren't you ..?" Joey taunted Andie. She rubbed her
face in the carpet until the nylon fibers burned her pale white cheeks.
"Oh, yeah, you were really raped!" Joey snorted as she slammed into Andie's
sloshing sluice. "Like I told you, you can't rape a whore. Sluts like you
love it. Whores like you cum when they get a big hard black dick stuffed up
their stupid little fuck holes."
Joey Potter had no idea where she had ever learned to talk like this. Before
today, she seldom even swore, and the thought of verbally taunting a woman
while brutally raping her with a foot-long black dildo would have made her
want to vomit. But here she was, treating Andie McPhee like a sailor banging
a whore on shore leave. She had no idea where all this sexualized anger
was coming from, but she had a pretty good idea. The love of her life had
rejected her sexually - not once but several times, the last being in his
room several nights ago when she'd taken off her shirt in front of him and
he TOLD HER TO LEAVE! To add insult to injury, the only other boy he'd ever
cared about decided he'd rather SUCK COCK than be with her.
* Well, FUCK THEM! * Joey Potter howled to herself. * Fuck them all in the
ear! * From now on Joey Potter was taking what she wanted, and right now
she wanted Andie McPhee's succulent, fair-skinned body to cringe and break
beneath the onslaught of her 12-inch black cock. She yanked the dildo out
of Andie's pulsing, orgasming cunt and just shoved it mindlessly into the
crack of the girl's ass.
"How's that feel, slut?" she snarled in Andie's ear. "How does that big
black dick feel up your tight white ass, you fucking cock-teasing whore?"
"Just stop .. Joey .. please .. stop. That hurts so bad. I'm serious
Joey .. stop.. you're hurting me .. you're tearing up my ass with your big
black dick .. why? Why are you doing this? Why are you hurting me?
Please .. please .. no ..no .. stop .. Rape .. somebody help me .. Joey
Potter is raping my ass .. oh .. she's raping my ass so hard .. it hurts
bad .. oh, somebody please make her stop .. stop .. God, please make her
stop .. please .. oh .. oh .. oh .."
Joey could feel Andie's whole body begin to convulse in a major seizure. She
was exploding in orgasm, this climax making the previous ones seem like
hiccups. Every limb and every muscle in her body began to twitch
uncontrollably. Although Joey had been expecting something like this, it
still came as a shock when she actually saw it happening. She'd read about
multiple orgasms in Cosmo, but she thought they were just luck regular ones
only all together. But this was like a hurricane compared being compared to
a spring shower. Andie's whole body alternated between utter rigidity and
total slackness. She flopped about as if she had no muscular control in her
body whatsoever.
"Dawson!" she managed to slobber before she went into a grand mal seizure.
"Dawson," she repeated meekly.
Joey knew this was the safe word. Joey knew that Andie's nerve endings had
overloaded with this Hiroshima-cum, and that she needed to disengage. The
dildo pounding in Andie's ass was really hurting her now, really tearing her
apart, really killing her. But when Joey heard the word 'Dawson,' she just
snapped. "Fuck Dawson!" she heard herself hiss as she continued butt-banging
Andie into oblivion.
"Dawson, Joey, Dawson," Andie pled pathetically. "Dawson .." she whined once
before her eyes rolled back into her forehead and she began to gag on her
Joey heard the sputters, saw Andie go ghastly white, and reality sunk in.
She pulled out of the girl's ass immediately and wrestled with her, trying
to get her mouth open and pull out her tongue. Andie was just flopping
around wildly, like a fish flailing about on the deck of a trawler. "Shit ..
shit .." Joey kept saying, terror shooting through her teenage brain. She
finally managed to pull Andie's tongue out from her mouth, and the girl
gasped frantically for air. Then she just collapsed in a heaving heap on
the floor.
As Joey leaned over to see if she needed CPR, she caught a whiff of the
strong scent of female fuck. Andie's privates had bathed the whole living
room carpet in a swamp of passion. The blonde suddenly reached up and pulled
Joey's face into her lips. They shared the most passionate kiss either of
them had ever experienced.
"You .. you won't believe .. you .. oh, Joey," Andie gasped as the two held
each and kissed again. "I ..couldn't breathe .. choking .. no air .. came
so FUCKING hard .. drifted up .. out of my body .. my .. my brother was
there .. a warm light .. I was still cumming .. just cumming .. oh, Joey it
was so beautiful .. just cumming .. cumming .. I love you .."
Joey nibbled on Andie's lips. * Okay, Dawson Leary * Joey patted herself on
the back. * Let's see your little Eve slut top that ..*
* * *
"Remember what I told you, son," Mitch coached his son. "You can do it. You
can make the little slut come again. Imagine how she'll feel cumming twice
while she's being raped. Come on, son, fuck that ass. Fuck that skinny,
suntanned ass."
Dawson closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of sliding in and out of
Eve's butt as she grunted and humped her hips back, mindlessly locked in
their tandem fuck as she chased her second cum. Dawson imagined Eve's ass
would have been a lot tighter if his father hadn't taken the first at bat.
Mitch had worked the girl's once-tight ass-pipe into a warm, sloppy pocket.
It had taken Dawson a few moments to get over the squeamish realization that
he was rutting about in his own father's fuck sauce. But once her felt
himself begin slip-sliding between Eve's tanned buns, he quickly disregarded
the gross-out factor of taking his father's sloppy seconds.
Now Dawson just raped away with total glee. He had never fucked before,
and here he was losing his virginity in mini-gangbang, ass rape with his own
father. Talk about making up for lost time. God, it felt so unbelievably
exquisite, just plowing into Eve's ass, using it as an instrument for
pleasure with no regard for the girl as a human being. * Rape?!* he thought
to himself. * How liberating. *
He'd always had a hard time relating to cinematic villains who used sex
as a weapon and pursued lovers like prey. He had never understood their
motivation, never understood how nonconsensual sex could be anything but
a hollow, nihilistic experience. Now, however, his cock gutting the
stuffing out of Eve Whitman's ass, he finally understood. With a smile
on his face, and a song in his heart, he just concentrated on thrusting
in and out, milking helpless ass for every inch of pleasure it could
He swiveled his hips around in circles, and thrilled to the sound of her
involuntary moans as he scraped areas of her tender anal cavity that hadn't
been pierced yet. He loved the swooshing pop of her sphincter after each
downstroke, when the little ring of muscle yawned open and burped out a
frothing mixture of his dad's cum, his pre-cum, and her own shit, sweat,
fuck-juice and blood. Dawson scooped this filth up in his fingers and
jabbed them into her mewling mouth. She sucked and licked his fingers with
a glazed, utterly vacant look in her eyes. She was only responding to
visual and physical cues now, each action a mere reflex reaction to
stimulation. All her critical thinking and higher brain mechanisms had
been dispensed with as she chased the vapor trail of her second, elusive
"That's it, son, your fucking that cunt's ass good now. Keep it up. Rape
her. Rape the cum out of her skinny suntanned ass. You're doing it. You're
making her cum. You're raping her so good you're making her cum against her
will. You own her cunt now. For the rest of her worthless life, you will
own her cunt. That's the mark of real man, son. After you've raped a cunt,
you OWN her cunt. Make the slut cum. Rape her ass. Be a man. That's it.
You're a fucking man now, son .. a fucking man .."
Dawson watched Eve slump over into a drooling fit. A warm stickiness
splashed out of her cunt, running down her legs like ice melting in a hot
ray of sunlight. He continued rutting away between her suntanned buns,
riding out her heaving cum-quake, using her climax to milk even more pleasure
out of her supple, thoroughly supplicated body.
"Lift her up a second," Mitch told his son. "I want to double-stuff the
whore. You in her ass and me up her cunt. Maybe we can slam another cum
out of that hard slut belly."
Dawson followed his father's instructions, lifting Eve's rape-ravaged body
up so Mitch could slide beneath her. A moment later, Dawson could feel his
father thrust up inside Eve's convulsing cunt. There cocks now raped her in
tandem, each thrust only separated by the thin layer of tissue separating
her ass-pipe from her cunt-tunnel.
Dawson shivered with another squeamish revelation. He was experiencing
waves of pleasure every time his father's slid against his own. Dawson
started timing his thrusts so that his small cock would meet his father's
fearsome rape saber and rup up against it behind Eve's fleshy wall. With
two hard, brutal dicks stuffing her both fuck holes, Eve succumbed to
another fuck-swoon, her third orgasm cumming only minutes after the second.
This climax was neither violent or loud. It just ripped through her hard,
tanned belly like a hammer, smashing whatever sense of humanity she still
possessed to smithereens.
"Fucking cunt came again," Mitch laughed as he continued pounding up into
her body. "You found yourself one little fucking freak here, Dawson."
Mitch's voice dripped with pride. Finally, he and his son had found
something they could share together. "You fucking own this cunt now ..
"No, dad," Dawson corrected his father. "We own her. She's our little slut
now, aren't you, cunt ..?" He took her by the back of the hair and made her
nod her head vigorously in agreement. "You see, dad. Our little cunt wants
to be raped like this every day, don't you, cunt ..?"
"Yes," Eve burbled through the drool pouring out of her mouth. "Please,
just fuck me .. fuck me .."
And now some scenes from next week's all-new Dawson's Creek.
"I can't believe this is happening," Mr. McPhee shouted at his son and Jen
Lindley from across the kitchen table. He slammed his fist down on the
table. "I knew this was going to happen. You're a faggot, and all faggots
are sick. You're a sick faggot, and you deserved this. God is punishing
you for your sick perverted lusts .."
"GOD has nothing to do with this," Grams cut in. "As angry and as sick as
we are, we cannot judge these children. These are our children, and they
need our love and support NOW more than ever before."
"Oh, shut up, you sanctimonious old bat," Jack's father stood up from the
table. "I've heard enough of this. You're a fag, and now you have AIDS.
You make me sick like all fags make me sick. All you GAY people can burn
in hell for all I care. At least I still have one child left." He turned
around and stormed out.
* * *
"So, how do you think my dad will take the news?" Andie McPhee looked up
into Joey Potter's eyes. The two were lying naked atop Andie's bed. Joey
was rubbing lubricant on the huge black starp-on dildo she was about to
pound into Andie's pale, creamy body.
"He'll deal," Joey grinned and wrinkled her nose. "I mean he already has a
gay son. Now he has a matching set."
"Do you ever miss Dawson?" Andie suddenly asked.
"Dawson can bite me," Joey laughed. "He probably hasn't even fucked that
slut Eve yet."
* * *
"I really like these new movie nights, dad," Dawson Leary commented as he
focused the video camera on Eve's sobbing, screaming, naked body. "Who
would have ever thought we had so much to share?"
Mitch stood above Eve's body. He was dressed in an SS uniform, and an evil
grin crossed his face as he struggled to restrain the rabid Rotweiler lunging
at the nude, helpless teen. "Do you have the shot yet?" he asked his son.
"Himmler here can smell the fear on that cunt's pussy."
"Patience, dad," Dawson panned back, then began rolling the steady-cam dolly
for a close up. "Okay, let her rip," he joked.
* * *
Pacey looked at the scrap of paper Principal Green had given him. The client
was staying at the local Travel Lodge, Room 313. Principal Green had told
Pacey this man was VIP who had offered $1000 to spend three hours fucking a
handsome teenage boy. Judging from Green's stern lecturing, the client was
a local man who required the utmost discretion and professionalism.
Pacey was terrified. This would be his first cleint, the first man he'd
fucked and sucked since Mr. Green had broken him in. Pacey tried to remember
everything his principal pimp had taught him. He needed to calm down.
Everything would be all right. He'd just do it and get it over with. Who
knows, he might even have some fun ..? Once he'd gotten over the whole GAY
thing, Pacey had found that he actually enjoyed sucking cock and getting his
ass fucked.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. A second later, it opened
and Pacey Witter stepped into the dim motel room. When he turned around to
face his first client, his jaw hit the floor. "Mr. McPhee ..?"

Hip and thigh pain on one side of the body can be caused by a variety of factors, including arthritic conditions and tendon inflammation due to overuse, explains Healthline. Pain on one side of the hip and thigh can also be a result of injuries and fractures.
Additional causes of hip and thigh pain on one side include groin strains and bone infections, according to MedlinePlus. Hip conditions and injuries often cause pain in the thighs, knees and back. It is important for individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms of hip and thigh pain to seek medical attention if they have difficulty moving the leg or hip or if the pain comes on suddenly, especially following extended periods of steroid use.
Treatment for hip pain depends on the underlying condition and can include anti-inflammatory medications and rest for mild conditions and physical therapy for joint inflammation, explains the Hospital for Special Surgery. Additional treatments include removal of the synovial tissue that lines the hip joint and surgical procedures to reshape the femur bone.
Individuals with hip pain caused by arthritis or bursitis may benefit by applying ice to the hip joints, as this can help to decrease inflammation, explains Everyday Health. When treating the pain, ice or ice packs should be covered with a towel and applied to the painful areas four to five times daily for up to 15 minutes at a time.

Have you ever been to Taste of London Festival? It is so good! It is rated as being one of the best Food Festivals in London and definitely deserves that title (I haven't been to any others but I ended up going to this one two days running and was not at all disappointed so I feel I am safe in giving my opinion here).
As with all festivals, you buy a ticket and then have free reign throughout the event. It is basically stalls and stalls and stalls of food and drink. Held in Regent's Park it is of course in a great location and easy to get to.
There are samples galore. You can go most of the day without actually spending that much and still feeling full. Nearly every stall has samples of some kind or are giving away something free. All in the name of promotion and deliciousness!
Then there are the plates you can buy. They are around £4-12 for a dish and are so good. Each of the restaurants there does some of their signature dishes (on small scale and takeaway plates so you can gorge on everything) and some fancier ones especially for the Festival. There are differrent dishes across the days. These are so good. We tried one of our favourite restaurants, Balls and Company as they had Squid Ink dishes which we hadn't tried. I could not recommend enough! There are restaurants such as Temper that become so much more accessible to try. The cocktails are incredible as well. You could get ones in a whole pineapple!
There is a whole range of food and bevbevs and something to please everyone.
The Festival is over for this year, but definitely go next year! We ended up going both Saturday and Sunday (long story) and loved both days!
It's definitely a lot of fun in a group. I would say that it is not reeeeally the best place for children; the majority of the beverages there are alcholic.
Speaking of; did I mention the masterclasses? We did a Gin one with Sipsmith (free!) and it was incredible! You can learn so much.
And there are all the food masterclasses and shows and all the fancy stuff. We did a 'Become your own Barista' class with illy; I was abismal. You can see my latte up above; but it tasted good! There are also a load of start ups meaning that you get to try brand new products.
It's a really great day out and I will be reminding you all to go next year if you are a foodie (or drinkie...)
Would you go?

Beware An example @Hollyonline @JournalistaLtd of the "Anne Elk Theory Trap" in seeking to "make the complex clear" https://t.co/JAHAvoQzNV pic.twitter.com/8BJBcl3QpH— Dr Mike Sutton (@Dysology) March 23, 2017
Supermyths are myths about myths that are created and compounded by experts, spread by pseudo-skeptics and destroyed by evidence. Braced myths are a sub-type of supermyth, created by orthodox expert authorities that are so powerful they are believed to be true by respected scholars who unwittingly promote them as examples of the need to be healthily sceptical of counterknowledge and then, with unintended irony, use them as argument winners to refute other fallacious knowledge.
The Dysology Hypothesis
Letting scholars get away with publishing fallacies and myths signals to others the existence of topics where guardians of good scholarship might be less capable than elsewhere. Such dysology then serves as an allurement to poor scholars to disseminate existing myths and fallacies and to create and publish their own in these topic areas, which leads to a downward spiral of diminishing veracity on particular topics.

Rare German Saucerful Of Secrets / The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Reissue
Check out this rare Saucerful Of Secrets / The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn two LP set. Extremely limited Edition of the first twp LPs in a special wraparound cover; issued in Germany in 1973. Notice how Saucerful of Secrets is the first LP. Wow.
I've never seen this one before. This is what A Nice Pair should have been; a two LP reissue of the first two albums. I never liked the substituting of tracks that ANP did. I just wish that this was a mono reissue! THAT would really be something!
Wow. I can find no mention of this German Pink Floyd reissue on the Web. This thing is extremely rare.

UK web users see broadband speeds drop by an average of 35 percent during the web's 'rush hour', says uSwitch.com
As part of the research, the comparison site conducted two million broadband speed tests across the country between March and October this year. The tests revealed on average Brits get a net connection speed of 9.6Mbps between 2am and 3am in the morning. However, this drops to 6.2Mbps between 7pm and 9pm in the evening.
"It really is surprising just how much broadband speeds fluctuate at different times of the day, with drop-offs of almost 70 percent in some areas of the UK," said Ernest Doku from uSwitch.com
"This research may help to shed some light on why many bewildered consumers, who believe they've signed up to a certain broadband speed, never actually feel like their connection is fast enough."
Evesham in Worcestershire was named as one of the areas that suffered the most, with net speeds dropping by 69 percent from 15.5Mbps in the early hours of the morning to just 4.9Mbps during the virtual rush hour. Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset saw speeds drop from 9.5Mbps to 3.Mbps, and users in Wadebridge in Cornwall get just 2.1Mbps during peak times, compared to 4.1Mbps in the early hours.
Doku added that "although providers are working hard to upgrade the UK's broadband infrastructure, there is a long road ahead to ensure that everyone can enjoy a much more consistent service."
uSwitch.com's announcement comes just weeks after new guidelines designed to clamp down on the use of 'unlimited' and 'up to' in broadband advertising were issued.
The Help Notes, which have been created following a review of speed claims requested by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), state any maximum speed claims used in broadband advertising must be based on actual experience of users and ISPs must be able to demonstrate these speeds can be achieved by at least 10 percent of its customers.

The company will be having an event on the 2nd week of this month, and we're assuming it's about this new Android One device. We'll let you know more about this as soon as we get further info.

GOOSING WHAT REMAINS OF THE AMERICAN CHARACTER! *** "We must never cease to proclaim in fearless tones the great principles of freedom and the rights of man which are the joint inheritance of the English-speaking world and which through Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Habeas Corpus, trial by jury, and the English common law find their most famous expression in the American Declaration of Independence." - Sir Winston Churchill, 1946
Sep 9, 2012
"In the ruins of two towers, at the western wall of the Pentagon, on a field in Pennsylvania, this Nation made a pledge, and we renew that pledge tonight: Whatever the duration of this struggle, and whatever the difficulties, we will not permit the triumph of violence in the affairs of men—free people will set the course of history." - President George W.

Just to give some idea about life here at Siena's I&TS:
I&TS runs several computing labs across campus. We are always changing things and testing things, but no matter how much you plan and test, unanticipated things go wrong once students return. One example was last week.
Without getting too technical, the labs are set up so that the local printer is set up on each computer at log in. Well, last week we got reports that this wasn't happening. Students were logging on, but no printer was displayed, making it impossible for them to print.
Now the printers in the labs are set up identically. Yet the problem was only in certain labs. Other rooms it worked perfectly.
We had several people all in the labs, logging on, logging off, using different accounts with different permissions. There was even an outside expert called in to go over the logs and scripts for anything wrong.
Finally, we found an answer: a slash character in the name of the lab's computers. Slashes are dangerous: they get mistaken for a path or web address and send the system to the wrong location. We tested it out. At first, it made no difference: the problem wasn't solved. Then, as we waited and the computers looked into their configuration data, things started being fixed. The printers were mapped.
But it took us a long time to come up with the solution. And sometimes, one character can make all sorts of difference -- and you may not notice it.
