Marantz introduces new portable digital recorder: PMD620
Ontario, CA – Marantz unveiled its PMD620, a new handheld solid state SD-Flash memory recorder, due to ship in November for a street price of $399. [Click image to enlarge] UPDATE: It's Shipping!!!
The Marantz PMD620 will record in WAV or MP3 file formats (16 or 24 bit resolution) from its two built-in omnidirectional mics or a plug-in external microphone. It can record in mono or stereo. It stores recordings on SD memory.
It is powered by two AA batteries (recorders that take standard batteries make better field recorders, since you can buy fresh batteries anywhere; custom batteries present more of a problem). The Marantz representative plugged something into its side which I assumed to be AC power, but I didn't ask.
I did plug in my own headphones and external microphone to try it out. Alas for the noisy trade show room; I couldn't really hear the sound quality (this was ...Read More

Two Rings, One Message.. a story from Podcast Expo
Yesterday, I re-met Ron Ploof of Griddlecakes Radio, audio storyteller. He said, "Listen to Two Rings, One Message." I just did. It's a story that begins during WW2 and continues to the present day. A story of war, of love, and the inspiration of lost –and found– heirlooms. The story itself begins about 5 minutes into the 26-minute episode.

Latino Vet Stories, Day 3
Latino WW2 Vet stories from the Pacific and Italy, in keeping with The War's third episode, "A Deadly Calling." Taking Tarawa island in the Pacific and fighting in Italy at Anzio and Monte Cassino, here are some highlights from the US Latinos/Latinas & WWII Oral History Collection.
Joseph Alcoser concentrated on getting a good education, but then volunteered for the service when he was a senior in high school.
"I never thought about returning home," he said. "I thought we were sent off to die."
Consequently, Joe did not communicate very much with anyone back home while he was overseas. He sent only one letter to his mother.
"If anything happened to me, my family would find out," he said.
"The scariest battle for me was the midnight battle at Surigao Straight," he said. It was dark and we could only see shells flashing by the ship. The unknown was what caused great fear."
The battle that occurred near Tarawa Island, an island east of New Guinea, had a ...Read More

A PodCamp SoCal report
Audio gadgets, workflows, meeting people, and stories. PodcampSoCal was a good day yesterday. I was expecting to have different breakout regions in the room, but we all followed a single track together as one room. I saw several Zoom Handy H2s set up on small tripods, recording the proceedings. And one or two Zoom H4, too. Looks like I'll be turning from The War and what's your story to an audio geek gadget maven for the next day or so. The agenda was full and continuous I didn't get a chance to ask people what their experience was like using their various recorders. But I'll be at the show Friday and Saturday, so I hope to do that then.
Oh, and family stories did come up; I managed to get myself on the agenda at day's end and spoke of the Veterans History Project. One guy, Dan Bach (he produces a math show and wore a tee shirt filled with lovely graphic symbolic goodness related to prime numbers), mentioned his dad during the Q & A: A WWII vet, a prisoner of war who received his purple heart 60-some years later. Perhaps I heard about him in the news? Just looked it up, and here's the story of Leo Bach. He was at Pearl Harbor the day it was bombed, and he was shot down over Germany. I told him, you gotta interview your dad; this field kit has your name on it (I only had a handful of Veteran History Project field ...Read More

At PodCamp SoCal today
I've lots of good stuff in the pipeline for posting here, but I've taken my The War intermission a bit early to prepare for PodcampSoCal. Catch up on some of the recent news items, or post in the open thread. There are but 24 hours in a day, and I'm using 'em all. Back soon with more Latino WW2 stories, Japanese American internment and Go For Broke posts, and digital requirements for submitting to Library of Congress.

Liar, liar!
Larry Lehmer talks about Liars. Or stretchers of truths. Fabulists (not to be confused with fabulous, or its shorter cousin, faboo). His post points to a faboo post about a fibbing Mom. Ann Hagman Cardinal tells her uncle a story her Mom had told her, and he –with other family members present – tells her the truth. That conversation sets her on her path as writer and storyteller.
I just stared at him, heat rising from my chest to my face.
Finally I sputtered, "What? Mom made it all up?" I began to recount the other stories she had told me. One after another, they were confirmed to be fiction. I was furious. Beyond furious. How could my mother feed me these lies year after year? And I believed her! I could just see her talking to me over her shoulder in the VW van, her self-righteous lecture about not telling stories ringing in my ears.
I stared at my half eaten lunch, tears gathering in my eyes. My cousin Jose Luis took my hand and said, "Annie, what does it matter if the stories are true or not? Isn't our family as defined by the stories that aren't true ...Read More

Latino WW2 Vets companion stories, Day 2
More companion stories from the Latinos and Latinas & WWII Oral History Project that echo the theme of "last night's episode" of The War, When the Going Gets Tough. These are stories of the war in North Africa and Italy, and of being shot down from a plane.
Joseph Diaz made it to Naples when Mt. Vesuvius was erupting.
Pvt. Diaz was the only Mexican in his unit, which included Audie Murphy, the most decorated combat soldier in World War II. Mr. Diaz said Murphy admonished the soldiers not to waste ammunition.
Once he landed in Morocco there was no time to travel slowly. His division moved into Tunisia, where fighting subsided, and Pvt. Diaz thought he was heading home.
Unfortunately, there was more fighting to come against Germany's Gen. Erwin Rommel. By marching or riding on tanks and trucks, Pvt. Diaz quickly moved into Palermo, Italy, where soldiers were rebuilding the area. From Palermo, Pvt. Diaz headed to Naples and reached ...Read More

Watching 'The War' Open Thread
Are you watching The War? What do you think? Consider this an open thread to discuss anything about The War.
The weekend before it began, I wanted to do a Ken Burns roundup post. That was when the number of stories about the show was still reasonable. The Carnival took precedence, though. Since then, every news outlet imaginable has produced a story about Ken Burns and WW2 and The War. Stories of the making of. About the companion Book. Reviews.
I wanted to "live-blog" the documentary, you know, saying, "He's just dissolved to a new black and white photograph. He zooms in, slowly, slowly, and There! he pauses on the face! Fade to another photograph; this one is a horizontal pan." That kind of snark—Ken Burns is parodying his own style!—was better before-the-fact. We're watching it in ...Read More

Two stories from a Latino WW2 Oral History archive: War in the Pacific
Here are two excerpts from the oral history project that has interviewed Latino World War 2 veterans. A trip through news search engines brings lots of latino response to Ken Burns not-including and then including stories of latinos in The War. I'm less interested in reactions than in the stories themselves. So I'll dip into one oft-cited oral history archive to find stories that keep with the theme of "last night's show" for inclusion here.
Today, two stories from the Pacific theatre of war: Bataan death march and being taken prisoner of war by the Japanese.
From the narrative of Philip James Benavides, who served in the Pacific. He was a musician that was part of the Marine Band; he fought on Guadalcanal and Bouganville, and was taken prisoner of war.
Circumstances forced the 9th Marine bandsmen into combat as they headed back to the frontlines to replenish supplies and retrieve the wounded and the dead.
"It was unbelievable. The more we battled," he said. "I guess you could say you got used to it."
Hungry and tired, the Marines would eat anything they could scrounge up, including roots and grubworms.
After contracting (and recuperating from) malaria, he went island-hopping again in the Pacific
On Nov. 1, 1943, Staff Sgt. ...Read More

Two Companion Web Sites to Ken Burns's The War
The Veterans History Project's companion site features stories from its collection about the events described in each episode. Episode 1 covers Pearl Harbor, Bataan Death March, Guadalcanal and Japanese American internment camps. And I've linked to it before, the PBS Site for The War… the site got a revamp and facelift. Happy to see a prominent link from the PBS site to the Veterans History Project site.

Veterans History Project casts wide net
The Veterans History Project is casting a wide net for 20th and 21st century wartime stories. The project is soliciting submissions from veterans –and civilians who directly participated – during the conflicts of WWI, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War, and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Back in April of this year, Sarah Rouse, Senior Program Officer of the VHP, spoke at the Southwest Oral History Association's annual meeting. Rouse described the project's wide scope.
While many oral history projects are focused on a limited population, the Veterans History Project stands with the Slave Narrative Collection, the 1930's WPA effort to record the recollections of as many living former slaves as possible, or the Shoah Project, which collects personal narratives of those survivors of the Nazi holocaust. Like these other collections, the Veterans History Project's purpose is to collect, archive and curate as many personal recollections as it possibly can.
I like the fact that this national effort, funded by Congress and run through the Library of Congress's American Folk Life division, is rooted in family oral history. Congressman Ron Kind of Wisconsin ...Read More

Veterans History Project Medal Controversy: Fraud or Clerical Error?
The Veterans History Project's web sites posts stories from its collection. An independent Medal of Honor watchdog fact-checks the recipients listed on the Project's web site against the official records. Watchdog finds discrepancies, notifies Project. Vets History Project scrubs the bad records. Investigates. Is this a case of Lie-induced Nausea or Unfortunate Clerical Error?
Test yourself. Quick: Which of these is the true Medal of Honor? the Vietnam Armed Forces Honor Medal or the Medal of Honor (Air Force)?
This week, MSNBC reported that the Veterans History Project (VHP) took down listings of veterans whose reports receiving the Medal of Honor were false. And here's the tricky bit. Were those listings fraud? Exaggeration? Error? Doug Sterner, who operates an independent web site honoring those who have received the Medal of Honor, fact-checked the Veterans History Project's site and database and found the errors and reported it to the VHP. The Project notes that many of the false listings are due to clerical errors.
The accusation: "Gross Negligence"
Doug Sterner's efforts are devoted to debunking false claims to receiving medals—and honoring the known recipients of the medals. He ...Read More

Yessss! A Mention in the US News cover story!!!
US News: Making History, by Alex Kingsbury. "From World War II soldiers to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, more people are sharing their own memories to bring the past back to life." I spoke with him back in June, the story mentions me and this site. Color me stoked. I'm planning to do a roundup of stories about Ken Burns and The War; I'm tickled that one of them will be slightly self-referential.
I discovered it this afternoon, immediately after posting Genealogy Carnival, after I took my broken-footed boyfriend to doctor's office. So glad they subscribe to around 4 copies of US News & World Report. They said I could have a copy before I even said, "I'm in here. My name is right here."
Ahem. Back to business. There are several related articles and sidebars in this issue. In addition to the main story talking about the phenomenon of oral history and personal memory projects, there are these stories:
A Ken Burns profile—An Intimate View of 'The War'.
Tips for Recording Oral Histories. Emphasis on equipment and video, and the wisdom of Donald Ritchie, author of Doing Oral ...Read More

Carnival of Genealogy: Family Wartime Stories
Welcome to the 32nd Carnival of Genealogy. The theme: Family Stories of Wartime. The entries span the Revolutionary War to the Korean Conflict.
On the same day I was reading through the submitted entries, I asked my SO to set the TiVo to record all seven episodes of Ken Burns's The War (begins Sunday, 23 September on PBS), a 14+ hour documentary that tells the story of World War 2 through the eyes of ordinary people from four American communities. "In extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives." We also watched a documentary that the TiVo recorded earlier this year: The Perilous Fight: WW2 in color. Color motion picture was accompanied by excerpts from diaries and letters written by those who lived it. It was a (mostly) sober couple of hours of non-Glenn Miller getting In The Mood (er, not that mood) for the Carnival, and for the upcoming Ken Burns documentary.
Ken Burns and PBS are promoting the The Veteran's History Project (VHP), a nationwide oral history project to record and preserve the stories of Americans in wartime at the Library of Congress.
Pearl Harbor
The common theme of the documentaries, the VHP, and this carnival: Great historical events do not belong to the Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers, War Secretaries and Generals, decision makers and strategists. When one nation fights another, the war is experienced from family to family, household to household. Whether victim, refugee, prisoner, laborer, soldier, the events of that war seep into every corner of a nation.
So here are some stories of war from the households of family (and neighbors) of the carnival partipants.
Revolutionary War
Revolutionary War-era maps and charts
Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings tells us the story of Patriot Soldier, Isaac Buck, one of his favorite ancestors and his service and war pension. Good for Isaac Buck that he received a pension, and good for Randy that the records are there to tell him of his ancestor.
The Revolutionary War is also known as "the First Civil War," according to Tim Abbot of Walking the Berkshires. His account ...Read More

For the second time in 10 days, an ambulance has been sent to the home of Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie.
Lubbock police Sgt. Jeff Baker said Tuesday that the emergency call came from Gillispie's home around 6 p.m. Monday and that an ambulance was sent. It was not immediately known whether he was hospitalized.
Gillispie is on indefinite sick leave and athletic director Kirby Hocutt says he is no longer making day-to-day decisions for the basketball program so he can focus on his health.
On Aug. 31, Gillispie called 911 and was taken to a hospital. It was the same day he was supposed to meet with Hocutt to discuss allegations he had mistreated his players. The school has reported excessive practice-time violations to the NCAA and reprimanded Gillispie.

Haiku Deck allows you to choose from different styles and themes and then gives you access to free Creative Commons licensed photos. It is so easy - kids can use it too! On February 15th, the Haiku Deck blog written by Claire, gave some great ideas on how to use Haiku Deck in the classroom and iTunes gives a list of great ideas too. Suggestions? Science lab presentations, homework assignments, summarizing discussions, book talks, sharing books, reports, visual resumes, poems, highlights of lessons and pitching ideas. Teacher presentations are always the key to how student's are going to listen - this tool can definitely make the difference. On the Haiku Deck web site - they have a gallery of different presentations that students, teachers and other professionals have produced. Here are a couple:
Ken Shelton created the presentation below.....
Can you think of great ways to put Haiku Deck to use?

I'm kind of intrigued by this pair, who seem to occupy a shadowy (esp. Fred) presence on the edge of pop culture. Neither has their own Wikipedia entry and online pics are hard to come by.
The first time I came across them would have been in the early '80s, when they wrote a cash-in book about Adam & The Ants. Haven't got it anymore, but remember a pic of them at the back, with Fred looking really sleazy, and some blurb stating they were working on a book about "an incestuous couple" (great fun asking my mum what that meant).
Most online content seems to focus on his two Kate Bush biogs, which I think someone here (STN? Eden?) whole-heartedly recommended as being enjoyably batshit, but I sadly haven't got round to reading either (I've never even found copies available) . There are some truly bizarre archived forum threads out there - one *supposedly* started by Steven Wells, speculating on him having a secret demon lovechild with Kate and similar nonsense - though, by all accounts, he did seriously stalk her to the extent of lobbing a brick through her brother's window and narrowly missing the bloke's baby.
From what I can gather - he goes to art school with Malcolm McLaren in the 1960s, ends up in Paris during the '68 riots, ends up marrying Judy and knocking out books on the Pistols, Malcolm Poynter, etc. Then gets involved in McLaren's 'Chicken' mag stunt (before getting cold feet/a jab of conscience and blowing the lid on it), writes a few more books and was apparently involved in some failed project to launch a film called 'Millions Like Us' featuring Throbbing Gristle and seemingly 99% of the '70s London music scene.
Anyway, not quite sure what the purpose of this thread is. From what little I know of them, they seem kind of mysterious and genuinely funny, albeit possibly enshrouded in myths and bullshit. Any further reading recommendations? Ever met them? Any thoughts?

Lori Colbert, a 2012 graduate of Point Park University's technical theatre and design program, is enjoying the unique workplace challenges as forsaken haunt manager at The Scarehouse, one of Pittsburgh's most well-known haunted attractions.
During the Halloween season, Colbert spends her time assigning roles, coaching the actors, checking the technical aspects of the haunt and monitoring the area for potential problems. When the Scarehouse is closed she works to schedule and plan for the upcoming season.
Colbert said her Point Park education provided her hands-on experience in her major.
"As a student at Point Park, I worked as a scenic designer, carpenter and as a props master," said Colbert. "Instead of looking over someone's shoulder to learn, I had someone looking over mine to provide help if needed."
Colbert's advice to students and graduates of the theatre program is to never give up, learn as much as you can and take advantage of every opportunity at Point Park.
She credits much of her success to the Conservatory of Performing Arts faculty and staff for encouraging her to pursue her dreams.

On this day unprovoked police violence was used against protesters at a peaceful protest in The Hague against the way budget cuts in arts and culture are being implemented by the Dutch government. Many people got beaten down and arrested for no reason by the police and its mobile unit which did exactly the opposite of what they should have done; preventing disturbance of the public order. Let's not forget what happened on the 27th of June!

Defense: Quash Willmar Grandmother Slaying Statement
WILLMAR (AP) - The attorney for a Willmar teenager charged in his grandmother's killing wants a judge to suppress part of his client's statement to law enforcement.
Attorney Daniel Mohs argued Friday that Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents who questioned 18-year-old Robert Warwick did not advise him of his Miranda rights after telling him that he was under arrest.
Warwick's grandmother, 79-year-old Lila Warwick, was slain during a robbery in her Willmar home on July 29.
Robert Warwick and 19-year-old Brok Junkermeier have been indicted on first-degree murder charges. Warwick allegedly masterminded the crime, suspecting his grandmother had more than $40,000 in a safe. Junkermeier allegedly stabbed and strangled her after making her write him a check.
Judge David Mennis will rule after attorneys have filed briefs.

Ahh yes, another quality comment that ads much to the discussion at hand, thanks Matty your contributions are priceless!
Anyone else that isn't holding these tired old grudges like these two have some opinions to the contrary?
Stop ass-raping the exclamation point like it's going out of style, and I'll stop making fun of you about it. How'd that be?
How about this then Harry Potter sacrificing all of his magic power and ability for some unforeseen reason in the movie...and some stupid-made-up rule about 'once you do this, you can never get the power back.This way, you could in a sense, kill him off in a different way.
But if Harry is a Horcrux, there will always be a chance for he who must not be named ti return!!
I like that EXCEPT..how could he be a world class seeker and ride the broom without magic ability?!
There's never been any mention if a wizard could lose their powers indefinately or not, at least not that I've seen or read. If he does lose them, it'd be a great way for Harry Potter to go on with his life, sadder without his powers, but alive! We'll see I guess!
...no matter what a bunch of adult-aged adolescents think.

Are we in a tech bubble already or not? Just because every bear you talk to and even the cover of the Economist say we are already in a huge tech bubble and every news paper article you read gives the obligatory "what some are calling signs of a bubble" quote already right now in May 2011 doesn't mean we are in a bubble. Indeed, if anything, all these bubble rumblings are probably indicators that we're not in a bubble at all. At least not yet.
Let's go back and look at the Great Telecom/Tech/DotCom Bubble of the 1990s for some history.
Even as far back as 1994 and especially in 1995 when Netscape first came public, most main stream analysis and media were wondering if tech was already in a bubble. Here's a look at the frequency of news articles from 1994 to 1999 with both the words, "tech bubble":
And here are a couple quotes from a few sample news articles talking about the "bubble" in 1995:
The tech-stock bubble Tampa Tribune – ProQuest Archiver – Aug 11, 1995 Don't say there weren't warnings that technology stocks were getting out of hand . The latest: the speculative frenzy over a company that helps us browse the …
Will Tech Fund Bubble Burst Soon? . Sunday Times-Sentinel – Google News Archive – Sep 17, 1995 Technology funds are showing some of the most powerful returns the industry has seen in years. If only we'd all been smart enough to know that in January. …
Yup, everybody was so smart and so smug saying that tech was already in a bubble as early as 1995. What happened to tech stocks from 1995 to 2000? The tech-heavy Nasdaq was up some 600% in the sixteen quarters from the end of 1995 to the end of 1999:
Eventually even the biggest bears got buried as they kept fighting that bubble or they eventually decided like everybody else that the trends were going to last forever.
There are currently 2060 recent articles that come up when you search Google News for the term "tech bubble":
Now, where have you ever seen headlines like this before:
Does Zynga's IPO Mean a New Tech Bubble Is Inflating? PC Magazine – Peter Pachal – 16 hours ago All this enthusiasm for tech companies going public begs the question: Are we in another tech bubble? Marc Schidler at Forbes thinks so, saying, …
The Evolution Of The Tech Bubble The Business Insider – 3 hours ago But I will introduce the general phases a new technology (paradigm) … At some point, the bubble has to burst. Things that go up must come back down. …
How many investors and traders and people at home missed out on huge fortunes because they were scared out of the burgeoning tech bubble when everybody was "warning" them that "tech is already in a bubble" back in 1995.
My analysis says that we need to ignore the people who think "tech is already in a bubble" in 2011. Indeed, I expect we will look back in 2013 and 2014 and be thankful that we ignore the noise and tried to capitalize on the biggest marketplace in the history of the planet, the app/smartphone/tablet/cloud marketplace, when it was still early in the game.
And again, even though we've had some huge homeruns betting on these revolutions already, the only guarantee I can give you is that I'll remain focused and disciplined and that I'll be doing everything I can to find us the best stocks and the best options to maximize our profits along the way.

- Threesome Mmf Stories : Sharing My Wife With My Friend And His Wife
I'm a fifty eight year old Hispanic male, and my wife is fifty one years old. She is five feet four inches tall, 34B-24-34, with blonde hair, green eyes and a beautiful shaved pussy. Marina has always been rather straitlaced because of the way she was brought up. It took me a long time for me to get her to agree on having a threesome, with my best friend David, whom she had never met before. Sometimes while we were making love I would start to talk about fantasy of watching her with another man. I noticed that she would get very aroused when I did that, and have orgasm after orgasm. On several occasions I asked her if she would like to live out the fantasy, and she would say that she was nervous about how I would react if we did that. I would always assure her that I would really enjoy it, and that I would love her just the same, if not more. Then one day my friend David wrote to me to say that he would be coming to Florida on business, and would like to visit me and meet my wife. I had described her to him, and had even mentioned to him, that I like to see him fucking her and watch her sucking him off. I wrote him back to say that we would be happy to see him, and also that I was hoping we could have a threesome, but that it was really up to Marina. Well, it worked out just as I had hoped. Marina and David hit it off at once, and within and hour the two of them were naked in our bed while I watched. Then my normally reserved wife surprised me by suggesting that I eat here cunt while my friend was ramming it with his cock. I had never been so close to another man's cock before, but I did my best to add to my wife's pleasure, then, while David was ramming her faster and faster, his cock slipped out of her cunt and went into my mouth. I found myself licking it for a few moments before he removed it and placed it back into my wife's pussy. We fucked most of the night, until David had to go back home. Before he left he said that he would like to us get together sometime with his wife Belinda, who was also a swinger.
A few months later the four of us made arrangements to go on a Caribbean cruise together. David and Belinda came to Florida a couple of days before we sailed, and stayed at our house. We all knew what was going happen. After they arrived we had a couple of drinks together, and soon we started talking about sex. David asked me if I would shave his wife's pussy for her. He knew I was an expert at it, since I always shaved Marina's. I went to get things ready, and then invited Belinda into the bedroom. As soon as we were alone she kissed me and rammed her tongue as deep as possible into my mouth. I caressed her slowly while removing here clothes. Then I laid her down on the bed and began the shaving process. I had no sooner started when I heard my wife in the next room moaning loudly, and I knew that she was about to reach a climax. I really wanted to go and watch her, but I was in the middle of shaving Belinda's pussy. Belinda had a very hairy cunt with thick lips, and she was obviously very aroused by me touching her there. As I finished up, I heard Marina screaming in orgasm, and a moment later I heard David asking her to suck his balls. I quickly cleaned up Belinda's cunt and then went down and started licking the sweet nectar from her now bald pussy. I sucked her till she came, then I got on top of her fucked her until I shot my load inside of her. We rested for a little while, and then David and my wife came in to join us. I put on a porno tape and we all watched for a while. David and I were in the middle of the bed with the girls on either side of us, touching us and playing with us to get us ready for some more action. Then Marina started to suck on David's Cock, and I watched avidly, loving the spectacle before my eyes. She grabbed his balls in one hand and his semi-hard cock with the other, and then slowly licked that big shaft from the head to the balls before taking it in her mouth. At this point Belinda, not to be outdone, started doing the same to me, and then proceeded to give me a great blowjob until I came down her throat and she swallowed it all. By now David was completely hard again, and he positioned Marina on her knees and started to fuck her doggie-style. Remembering the last time, when I had eaten my wife's pussy while David fucked her, I slid under her and started to suck on her cunt. She tasted sweet, but there was also a salty taste that I knew was David's. This aroused me so much that I pulled his cock out of her and went down on him. Belinda and Marina were surprised and excited to see me giving David a blowjob. They were getting a show that they had never seen before. I sucked his cock and licked his balls until I felt that he was going to come. David started fucking my mouth fast and hard, and I loved it. I kept licking at his cock, and all of a sudden he exploded in my mouth. I continued to work on him until he was dry. After that Belinda and Marina took turns with my dick, giving me the best sucking I'd ever had. Then the four of went to sleep.
We made love several times the next day. At one point, while David's wife Belinda leaned over, placed her mouth on Marina's cunt and started to lick it. Marina moaned around David's dick, but I was pretty sure she thought it was me that was licking her, not Belinda. I was so excited by this that I sat down to have a good view of the action, not wanting to miss any of it. I even started playing with my cock as I watched. Belinda worked a finger into Marina's pussy as she continued to lick at it, then another finger, and finally a third. My wife was shaking and looking as if she was going to have convulsions. She pulled her mouth of David's cock and turned her head as she pushed herself back against Belinda's mouth. It was only then that she realized that it was not me but Belinda ho was going down on her. She had never had her pussy sucked by another female, but by now she didn't care. She wriggled against Belinda's mouth and instructed her to suck her clit. Belinda evidently obliged, because Marina started screaming, "Oh yes! That's it! Faster, suck it faster, make me come!" Which Belinda did. Marina then turned back To David and stuffed his cock into her mouth again, sucking it faster than before. David fucked her face until he exploded in her mouth, and Marina swallowed as much as possible. Then she rubbed some of the excess come over her face, knowing that this turned me on. Now it was my turn to fuck Belinda. I got between her legs and stuffed my cock inside her, but I was so excited that I didn't last too long before shooting my load into her pussy.
The next day our cruise ship sailed. The trip started out great. We unpacked, changed into our swimwear and headed for the upper deck of the ship. David put some sun block on my wife, and I on his, and we ordered drinks and lay out in the sun. After a while we made use of the hot tub. I played with Belinda's cunt under the water while she stroked my cock, and I knew that Marina and David were doing the same. At one point I reached for David's cock, working my hand under his tight swimming trunks and playing with his balls. Before we knew it, it was time to change for dinner. After diner we took in a show, and then rushed back to our room. We could no longer wait to get into each other. We had ordered a bottle of champagne and some chocolate-covered strawberries to get us into the spirit—not that we needed it. The girls wanted to start by watching David and me going at it. They sat on a couple of chairs next to the bed and egged us on. They said they wanted to tell us what to do, and the first thing they wanted was to catch David going down on me, as they had seen me doing to him. David knelt down and took my cock in one hand, stroking my balls with the other. He stuffed the head of my dick in his mouth and proceeded to lick it slowly; making sure that the girls got a good view of his tongue working on my cock. This was a total turn-on for me. I asked him to take my balls in his mouth, and he did. Then he gave me a fantastic tongue-lapping, working up from my balls to the tip of my cock. It seemed to go on for hours, though it was really about ten minutes. The girls were so turned on by this that Belinda had reached over and started finger fucking my wife, while Marina was playing with Belinda's tits. This added to my already bubbling excitement, and I knew that I would soon be exploding in David's mouth. The girls saw that I was getting close, and they encouraged me, yelling "Oh yeah, do it, fuck his face, come in his mouth!" When I heard this I could no longer control myself, and I shot spurt after spurt of come into David's throat, and he swallowed it down. Then the girls started saying that they wanted to see David sink his huge cock in my ass. I wasn't sure I could take it there, my ass was virgin and he had a huge cock around 8 ½ to 9 inches. The idea surely appealed to me. David was ready to comply with the request as well. He knelt on the bed and motioned for me to get in a doggie position. The girls gave David some lubrication jelly and sat down to watch the action. David proceeded to lubricate his cock and then my anus. I caught my breath as he slid his finger into my butt, rotating it as he worked it in to prepare the way. Then he pulled it out and replaced it with his cock. He had been already for this; he had put on the condom and had placed his cock by my anus. At first he put just the head inside me, but as I loosened up he started to push deeper, making little back and forth movements. It felt fantastic, and I started pushing back at him and moving with him, until he was in me all the way, and in another minute he filled my asshole with his cum. After resting for a while the four of us continued to make love, and we fucked each other for most of the night. Needless to say, things went on like that for the duration of the cruise. At first Marina wasn't sure that she would enjoy eating pussy, but once she tried it with Belinda she found that she loved it, and David and I enjoyed watching the two ladies go at it as much as they loved watching us. When the cruise was over we all decided that we wanted to get together again on our next vacation, and this time we are planning to go to a swinger resort. I did get together with David on several occasions and I enjoyed having his cock stuffed in my ass and sucking that cock of his. From that time on I have met some other guys and I found out that I loved to be the bottom guy and enjoy giving head but that is another story and maybe I will write it down another time.

PARK CITY, Utah — In 1989, "sex, lies and videotape," Steven Soderbergh's candid look at infidelity and voyeurism, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and told a story that mainstream TV and movies wouldn't touch.
Nearly a quarter-century later, sexually frank content is readily available across cable television, in R-rated studio comedies, on YouTube and even on Kindle readers. So one might expect maverick filmmakers to turn their attention elsewhere.
But a peek into the screening rooms of this year's Sundance Film Festival shows that many directors still have sex on the brain. A lot of it.
The 1970s porn icons Linda Lovelace and Paul Raymond are being feted with features — "Lovelace," from Oscar-winning documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, and "The Look of Love," from British director Michael Winterbottom.

Speak up: Attack of the cover vultures
Jeremy Anderson
at Coupe DeVille's
Monday, June 23
The pairing of local singer/songwriter Jeremy Anderson with that bastion of collared shirts known as Coupe DeVille's was more than a little amusing, especially to the songwriter himself. "When I was asked, I knew I just had to do it," said Anderson, a glint of childish glee sparkling behind his spectacles.
I arrived about five minutes before Anderson was scheduled to perform, and already the din from the khaki short/button-down crowd was swelling. The few times I've been to Coupe's in the past have been during the school year, when baseball caps and tank tops stretched as far as the eye could see. The place is the unofficial "Bar of the Frat Crowd," a title which the establishment has always seemed to wear with pride (on Friday nights, they must rake it in).
During the summer, the venue seems to be a hangout for the over-30 crowd, most of them appearing to have once pledged never-ending loyalty to their fraters or sorors.
Anderson began his set with a cover of Leonard Cohen's "So Long, Marianne," a beautiful piece, to say the least. "You held on to me like I was a crucifix," goes a line from verse three, and Anderson, his voice almost the exact opposite of Cohen's, soared high at all the right points.
With only his guitar and vocals mic'd into two small guitar amps, and the fact that Anderson was performing outside where sounds have a habit of escaping into the universe, the setup at Coupe's was rather lacking, to say the least. The stage is a smallish area enclosed by a wooden fence, which Anderson commented on after his first song- "This is the type of place to play cowboy songs," the young man said, enjoying the absurdity of the night.
Anderson's second song, "Untitled," was a multi-part work ranging from sunny major passages to deeper minors I've seen Anderson a number of times in the last few years, and this piece probably shows his growth both as a lyricist and a composer more than any other of his tunes. Unfortunately, after two songs and an increasingly loud audience, the cover-vultures attacked.
"Billy Joel, do you know any Billy Joel? How about Barenaked Ladies?" yelled the crowd, producing a laughing negative response from Anderson. The singer's performance of the Simon and Garfunkel song "Homeward Bound" did produce a strong positive audience reaction, but two songs later a cover from Tom Waits' 1973 album Closing Time did not (as might have been expected) produce any response at all.
As the show wore on, it became harder to hear Anderson; the crowd grew louder, and the amps projecting his work into the night seemed to grow ever smaller. "Masturbation," "factors that have fallen" were heard coming from the stage, but these were few and far between, and instead, cries such as "Chucko, hey chucko" became the entertainment for the evening.

QTL Mapping and Marker-Assisted Selection
Effective, high-throughput methods for marker-assisted selection, genotyping, copy number analysis, or detecting single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are enhancing our understanding of how to breed crops with desired traits such as higher yields or better disease resistance. We offer a wide range of technologies to facilitate your breeding and functional genomic studies, associate important traits with genetic variants (including SNPs and AFLPs), construct quantitative trait locus (QTL) maps, and identify genetic markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) programs.
What are QTL mapping and marker-assisted selection (MAS)?
QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus) analysis links genetic markers with DNA base variations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and microsatellite or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) to the QTLs of interest for breeding purposes. These are then used in linkage mapping and downstream marker-assisted breeding programs to screen for individual plants that have the trait(s) of interest. Depending on the program, these traits could be increased yield, disease or stress resistance, or enhanced nutritional or oil profiles.
What is the best approach if I am using SNP markers for breeding?
Choosing the best experimental approach and technology platform depends on your specific needs. Two key elements to consider are the number of samples and the number of markers in your project. The chart below gives a high-level representation of the different technologies we have to assist you in selecting the right plant seed line, moving a transgenic plant to the greenhouse or the field, or collecting critical data for your publication.

North American Juniors (NAJ) Game Night
Penticton Vees 1 @ Westside Warriors 0 (9/10/2010)
F Brendan O'Donnell, PEN: 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM
O'Donnell's BCHL debut was a good one as he registered a point in his first game when he set up Joey Holka, a St. Cloud State commit, in the second period for what ended up being the game's only goal. O'Donnell had 29 goals and 32 assists for 61 points in 53 games last year for the Winnipeg South Blues of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. The 2010 6th round draft pick of the Lightning and North Dakota commit was acquired by Penticton in the offseason.
Westside Warriors 2 @ Penticton Vees 4 (9/11/2010)
F Brendan O'Donnell, PEN: 1-0-1, E, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 2 GP, 1-1-2, E, 0 PIM
Wearing No.91 for the Vees, O'Donnell scored his first BCHL goal on the power play in the first period to tie the game at 1 for Penticton. The Vees would later go down 2-1 but storm back in the third period with 3 goals.

Is this Johanna Mason?
There's a random rumour circulating that Glee's Dianna Agron is a potential candidate to play Johanna Mason in Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games. Please note however that I can't find ANY legit source to support this report.
Dianna Agron?
Would you buy Dianna Agron as the cunning, savvy Johanna? Maybe she's been limited on Glee. Maybe underneath she's the range of Mia Wasikowska. Maybe you're better at convincing yourself of things that seem impossible. This is not one of my strengths. As you know, Kristen Bell has long been lobbying for the role. Now her I might be able to get behind.
In other casting news, there was another bogus claim last week that Robert Pattinson was being considered for Finnick. That was killed immediately. Repeat: Robert Pattinson will NOT be Finnick. But I do have some interesting updates for you on the Finnick front that I'm waiting to firm up. Check back tomorrow. I'm not sure how happy you'll be about that either.
Here's Dianna at Joel Silver's annual Memorial Day party in Malibu yesterday. His guests have been slightly more high end in years past. There has to be a parallel here between the sh-tty economy and celebrity.
Wenn, Fame/Flynet

SCons / PlatformIndependedInstallationTool
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/PlatformIndependedInstallationTool
Platform independent installation
Multiplatform project may have some files which should be installed to different directories on different platforms or some files which should not be installed at all on some platforms. This Tool provides set of pseudo builders to install files using default installation directory structure of the target operation system and set correct permissions on POSIX systems. It creates alias target 'install' to install all targets at once.
How to get the tool
Tool is available in the following git repository: http://repo.or.cz/r/vestnik_site_scons.git in the file smartinstall.py
To get the latest version run:
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/vestnik_site_scons.git
You can put this file into the site_scons/site_tools directory.
- Set the name of your program or library to the env['package'] variable in your environment. This key should exist in the environment before tool initialization since it's used to calculate default installation paths.
- Initialize the tool with the Tool() method in the Environment object.
- You may want to change some of installation paths using the following available environment variables:
- env['prefix'] installation path prefix. Default value: '/usr/locla' on Linux or 'C:\Program Files\$package' on Windows
- env['prefix_bin'] your program installation path. On windows it's used to install *.dll files. Default value: '$prefix/bin'
- env['prefix_lib'] libraries installation path. Default: '$prefix/lib'
- env['prefix_pc'] pkg-config *pc files installation path. Default: '$prefix/lib/pkgconfig'
- env['prefix_inc'] header files installation path. Default: '$prefix/include/$package' on Linux or '$prefix\include' on Windows
- env['prefix_data'] application data installation path. Default: '$prefix/share/$package' on Linux or '$prefix\data' on Windows
- env['install_dev'] Install or not development files. Should be True or False Default: False
- Now you can use the following pseudo builders:
- InstallProgram() installs files to '$prefix_bin' directory and sets 0755 permissions on Linux
- InstallLibrary() installs files to '$prefix_lib' except .dll files on Windows which are installed to '$prefix_bin'. Sets 0755 permissions to .so files and 0644 permissions to other files on Linux. If '$install_dev' is False this builder will install only shared libraries (.so on Linux or *.dll on Windows) other files will be ignored. TODO: add installing .so files with version suffixes and correct symlink creation (libMy.so -> libMy.so.1 -> libMy.so.1.2 -> libMy.so.1.2.3) on Linux.
- InstallPkgConfig() installs files to the '$prefix_pc' dir. Sets 0644 permissions on Linux. Doesn't install anything if '$install_dev' is False.
- InstallHeader() installs files to '$prefix_inc' dir. Sets 0644 permissions on Linux. Doesn't install anything if '$install_dev' is False.
- InstallData() installs files to '$prefix_data' dir. Sets 0644 permissions on Linux.
- All builders checks that 'install' target is specified and return None if not. Alias target 'install' created to install all files passed to those builders.
- Use
scons installto install your package and
scons install -cto uninstall it.
env = Environment() env['package'] = 'foo' env.Tool('smartinstall') lib = env.SharedLibrary('bar',[... lib sources here ...]) prog = env.Program('foo',[... lib sources here ...], LIBS='bar') env.InstallProgram(prog) env.InstallLibrary(lib)
scons install
will create the following installation:
C:\Program Files\foo\bin\foo.exe
C:\Program Files\foo\bin\bar.dll
bar.lib created by SharedLibrary builder will be ignored since '$install_dev' is set to False by default. If you explicitly set it to True
env = Environment() env['package'] = 'foo' env['install_dev'] = True env.Tool('smartinstall') lib = env.SharedLibrary('bar',[... lib sources here ...]) prog = env.Program('foo',[... lib sources here ...], LIBS='bar') env.InstallProgram(prog) env.InstallLibrary(lib)
the following files will be installed:
C:\Program Files\foo\bin\foo.exe
C:\Program Files\foo\bin\bar.dll
C:\Program Files\foo\lib\bar.lib

We met Janice for the 1st time last friday night.She was wonderful and we would love to continue asking her to come and babysit in the future.Our son has been asking when she will be coming to look after him again.Thankyou very much.
We used the service for the first time on Tuesday and we were a little nervous how our two children would cope with being left with a stranger. Well we needn't have worried, Nicola was extremely reassuring right from the minute she came into our home. She quickly put us and our children at ease and promised to send texts when the children had settled. I really didn't think they would as they've only ever been out to bed by us and we sit with them until they go to sleep but to our surprise, both children were asleep when we arrived home!! My husband said its the best money we've ever spent! We can't wait to plan our next evening out!
Nicola M was great with our 4 year son when we booked her to take care of him before the nursery hours. She came prepared with play materials and she bonded quickly with the child. We could notice that our son was happy and relaxed with her. She was very helpful and accommodating to our situation. Also Nicola kept us updated over phone which we found very helpful. We will certainly book her again for child care and strongly recommend her for future child care work. Thomas and Miriam from Durham. DH1

On Tuesday, May 21, sixteen Fasman Yeshiva High School students, enrolled in the Honors Writer's Workshop class, presented original illustrated children's books to first graders at Hillel Torah North Suburban Day School.
Their stories all presented some kind of morality lesson or question which could lead to further discussion. After reading their stories, our students led a drawing activity where the first graders added a little bit to the end of the stories. "Our students overcame some nerves and did an awesome job! The first graders loved it. The Hillel Torah teachers gushed and snapped a million pictures," said Mr. Peter Gobel, FYHS Associate Principal for General Studies.
FYHS thanks Hillel Torah's Principals, faculty, and staff for extending this unique opportunity to our students.

Energy markets are experiencing their own March Madness, notes Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at ...
Earnings Deliver a Buy and a Sell
11/09/2012 7:45 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
As earnings continue to roll out, the news has generated enough infomation to spark a sell for one stock and boost enthusiasm for another, observes Jack Adamo of Insiders Plus.
A large majority of earnings reports from all sectors were bad, and while ours were generally better, some of them disappointed as well.
I won't sell a stock for having a bad quarter or because I don't like the market, but if I have specific reasons that give me pause aside from those, that may tip the balance. That is the case with Avon Products (AVP).
I did not and do not expect a quick turnaround at Avon, and I expected the recent dividend cut. That's why it wasn't in the High Income Portfolio, despite its stated 6.8% yield. Those factors didn't influence this choice. I also still expect the company to come back, despite all its problems.
The new CEO, Sherilyn S. McCoy, certainly has credentials. She has a Master's Degree in chemical engineering from Princeton, an MBA from Rutgers, and previously handled the marketing for Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) skin care division.
That said, after this quarter, the company is dangerously close to blowing some loan covenants, and while I have no doubt they'll be granted waivers, given Avon's assets, I'd rather take our 6.6% loss and have the cash in this climate.
I wouldn't procrastinate on this. The stock is significantly below its high for the year, so we will probably see pretty heavy tax selling over the next month or so.
Moreover, with the overall earnings climate negative, there should be bargains aplenty sometime in December after a possible post-election rally subsides. We can probably deploy this money in a company with stronger, clearer prospects, while keeping an eye on Avon for possible reinvestment later.
Meanwhile, Companhia de Bebidas das Americas (ABV) had spectacular earnings: up 48.2%, or 80 cents per share, versus 54 cents for the third quarter of 2011. Net sales rose 26.1% including acquisitions, and 15.1% just on an organic growth basis.
My enthusiasm is somewhat tempered by the fact that unit volume growth didn't match sales growth. That indicates that the latter was helped by price increases, which are not as sustainable as unit growth. Still, the company is performing well, and so is the stock.
We're starting to see an economic rebound on ABV's main turf in Brazil, and other parts of its domain have held up pretty well all through the recent sluggish period. We have a nice 9.3% gain since February to hold us through any rough patch we may face in the next few quarters, although I suspect it won't be as bad down there as it is up north.
Ambev is another stock I'm hoping to add to on any significant pullback.
