I no sooner had typed that and I get this text message on myphone from my wife. She asks me if I'm having fun yet. I replied back that I'm just chatting with our friend and she types back that she knows! She tells me to grab my gear for tommorrow and go over to her place. Now I'd never been allowed to spend the night at a playmates place, and neither has my wife. Since the deal had always been for us to come home to eachother after playing.
Well I got back online and told Karen, that she must have been planning this as I just got a message from the wife telling me to pack my gear and get over to your place. Karen typed back and said that the two of them HAD been talking about this for quite some time as Karen knew how I felt about the wife being on the late shift sooner than she was promised. I told Karen that I wasn't sure about this as I wasn't sure that I could get up in time to go to work the next morning. Karen told me that she had to work in the am and we would be leaving together. For me to pack my bags and get over there in the next 20 min. I told her that it would take me at least 35 minutes to get there, and she said that she had a suprise waiting for me, but that the suprise wouldn't stay too much longer. I couldn't believe it, Karen, who is a hot bbw, wanted me to spend the night with her. I told her that I would get ready as fast as I could but I was going to call the wife to make sure and hear her voice tell me that I could play.
Well I called and my wife asked me if I was packing my bag yet. Told her that I would be right after I heard her tell me that it was really ok. She told me that not only was it ok, but that from what she and Karen had talked about, I'd have a great time. Well after getting permission, I must have grabbed my stuff and was out the door in 15 minutes. It's a 35 minute drive to Karen's place, but I made it in 30. I knocked on the door and was meet by Karen in a teddy with a robe around her. She told me that the suprise she had for me left but might be back.
With that she took my gear into a room and tossed it onto the bed. I then followed her into the kitchen where she got me a drink. Now I'm not much into mix drinks as I'm normally a beer guy, so I told her not to mix it too strong. She just giggled and agreed. We went into her living room and started to kiss while she started to undress me. I started to take her robe off after she got my shirt off and sucked on her tits. She then took my pants off and started to suck on my cock. I took another drink as she was sucking harder and harder on my cock. Letting the sweat of the drink drip down on to her bare back. I feel like I'm about to explode when she stops and tells me that she needs a drink. I start to offer her mine and she says that mine isn't strong enough and besides, I'm about empty. Karen leaves the room and returns with two more drinks. This time mine is much stronger and has a slightly different taste.
Karen tells me that she wants my cock in her and we take our drinks into her bedroom. I start to eat her pussy when I start to feel funny. Karen tells me that it is ok, that she gave me something to relax as she knew that I was tense. Besides we are going to have lots of fun. With that she rolled off me and went to the bathroom. Karen comes back wearing a strap-on harness. She asks me if I feel pretty good now, and I just nod my head. I then feel her tie my hands down to the bed, but dont' resist as it feels like I've got no control of my body. I can see what she is doing, but that is it. She then reaches into her drawer and pulls out a couple of dildos. The first is about 5" and the second is 6-7". I watch her put the smaller one on and lube it up as she tells me that I'll get the other one later and if I'm really good....
I feel her lube my ass and start to push it in. Now as the wife has a bigger toy, her toy don't take much work to get deep inside me. Karen is pumping me hard but decides that I need more. So she puts the bigger toy on. Now I hear something. Karen turns to see that Bill is in the room. Karen returns her attention to me and tells me that Bill is my suprise. He's going to fuck me and then we will both do her. I start to protest as she re enters my ass. Bill undresses and puts his cock into my mouth. With Karen pumping my ass I must have sucked Bill pretty good as I could feel his cock throb like he was going to cum. Bill tells Karen that he's going to cum but then decides to pull out.
Karen unties me after pulling out of my ass and I get a good look at his cock. Bill is about 6-7 but very thick, thicker than her toy. Karen starts to suck on him, letting him to cum into her mouth. I get behind Karen and start to fuck her with nice easy strokes at first. Bill slaps her ass and tells Karen to take it...I did. He then tells me to pound that pussy. With that I don't last too much longer. I explode into the rubber that I put on just before fucking her. Karen is panting, I'm panting and Bill is just watching all of us.
Bill tells Karen that I appear to be too tired for more. He asks me if I think that I'm able for more, and I tell him maybe in a bit. With that, it seemed like everyone got a second wind...
The alarm went off at 530AM the next morning and I was in bed with Karen all alone. Karen woke up and asked me how I felt and I told her that I felt tired and worn out. She told me that I should feel sore as Bill fucked my ass for a good 15 minutes while she sucked my cum from my cock. I started to get hard and she climbed on for a quick fuck before heading to the shower.
We both got dressed, and ate breakfast, then the phone rang. It was the wife askign me if I enjoyed the night. I told her that I had and she told me that maybe next time SHE could take my place in Karen's bed. I just smiled and told her she could.

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes across the globe to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
AI, T-Mac and the Hall | Best passer, top assist man | Social media superstars
Name the three players you most enjoy following on Twitter? Why?
Steve Aschburner, NBA.com: Sorry, but I don't like wearing a seat belt when I'm on Twitter, so I am not a Metta World Peace follower (I'm not convinced that level of crazy isn't contagious). So here are my Top 3: 1) Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) is a must-follow because he's a little ornery these days even as he embraces social media. And his orneriness can be newsworthy. 2) While Blake Griffin (@blakegriffin32) is genuinely funny, I favor Chicago's Joakim Noah (@JoakimNoah) by a hair for the emotion and zaniness inherent in his Tweets. And 3) Indiana's Roy Hibbert (@Hoya2aPacer) is playful and makes regular-guy observations that play better on Twitter than, say, on the podium after a conference finals game.
Fran Blinebury, NBA.com: 1) Metta World Peace. He's unfiltered. He's honest. He's absurd. He's ridiculous. He doesn't care what you think or I think or even about what he thinks. The eternal sunshine of a spotless mind. 2) Kobe Bryant. Who else would dare rip his own teammates with live tweets during a game when he's injured? 3) LeBron James. The fact that he's the best player on the planet makes him a must-follow and it doesn't hurt that he is a relentless tweeter who'll occasionally drop in some news.
Jeff Caplan, NBA.com: As a general rule, players are bad follows. They're just boring. So leading my top three list is one guy who is definitely not boring and you'd know that if you follow his offseason travels. Mavs forward Shawn Marion seems to be everywhere and he's never having a bad time. Whether he's tweeting his meal at Nabu or which fashion socks he's wearing, the Matrix (@matrix31) is fun to follow — or live vicariously through. My No. 2 is a guy I've begun to like more and more — Pacers center Roy Hibbert (@Hoya2aPacer), and not just because he pays homage to his college team. He's straightforward, real and talks a lot about what he's doing to work hard and improve himself and his team. I like that. And third is Jared Dudley (@JaredDudley619) because he just seems like a pretty ordinary dude and he constantly interacts with his fans, doing giveaways for game tickets, etc., and that's what it's all about, interacting in a positive and fun way with fans.
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com: Man, it really is late-August. I like people who have something to say beyond the typical. ("Shoutout to Insert Name Here for his big game tonight!!!" "Puttin in work to get better!!!") Steve Nash. Nick Collison. Blake Griffin. Tony Allen, Spencer Hawes, Jared Dudley, Kevin Love and a few others could make the list. Kobe Bryant. Insight with a healthy dose of humor always connects.
John Schuhmann, NBA.com: Shane Battier is self-deprecating and smart. Blake Griffin is as funny as his commercials. LeBron James is pretty down to earth for a four-time MVP. And none of the three ever flood my timeline with retweets of fans saying they're their favorite player.
Sekou Smith, NBA.com: I must admit that I'm cool without a daily dose of the corporate/agenda-driven tweets we get from many of the professional athletes who have adopted this medium as their very own marketing machine. I understand that need to promote your brand and all, but I can do without some of the shameless product promoting that goes on. That said, Metta World Peace is No. 1 on my list because … well, who doesn't need a 140 characters of World Peace in their life on a daily basis. Who cares that I don't understand 90 percent of what he's saying? Jared Dudley is busy and good for a two or three tweets a day that either make me laugh or stop and think for a minute. He's prolific (14,541 tweets and counting) and cares about his followers. And he should be extremely interesting in a competitive twitter environment like the one he'll be in now alongside Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and others with the Los Angeles Clippers. The great JaVale McGee (and his alter ego Pierre) completes my top three. He's as confusing on twitter as he is on the court sometimes (Shaqtin' A Fool anyone?), which is not necessarily a bad thing. He's always entertaining and has no problem making a little fun of himself. I appreciate the fact that he understands that not everything shared on twitter needs to be so serious.
Lang Whitaker, NBA.com's All Ball blog: 1) JR Smith, because nobody is as honest and transparent and funny. 2) Metta World Peace, because his Twitter account is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you're going to get. 3) Kevin Durant, because he interacts with fans and isn't afraid to admit his feelings when he's upset or vulnerable. It's cool to see such a huge superstar be so open.
Karan Madhok, NBA India: There are two types of talented basketball players: the one who dominate on court and the ones who dominate Twitter. Luckily for us, a certain @KobeBryant is the perfect combination of both. When he's not busy cementing his legacy one of the greatest players of all time, Kobe's tweets help make Twitter a more real, more honest, and hilarious place. Kobe's teammate @PauGasol is the exact opposite personality on Twitter, but in his way, spreads good will and positivity on a daily basis. And my favourite is another Laker, or now, an ex-Laker, the one and only @MettaWorldPeace. Tread lightly if you're going to follow Metta's random, unpredictable, and sometimes incomprehensible tweets, but for me, he's one of the funniest people – NBA or otherwise – to follow on twitter.
Stefanos Triantafyllos, NBA Greece: First of all, let's salute Shaquille O'Neal, because he was a Twitter (among other things) pioneer. After that being said I have to pick Kobe Bryant, Jarred Dudley and LeBron James. "The antisocial has become social" — that was Kobe's first tweet, which sums up the enigmatic figure of "Black Mamba". Dudley is funny, retweets a lot and is really involved in Twitter. Well, LeBron is LeBron.

A 2.4-magnitude earthquake has been recorded in one of the most northerly parts of the UK.
It is the largest quake in the area for around 120 years.
It was recorded by the British Geological Survey at 4.16am yesterday, about seven miles (11km) south of the village of Durness, in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands.
Only one resident, who lives near Loch Eriboll, reported feeling a "slight rumbling".
The earthquake is the largest recorded in the region since one on September 26 1887 which had a magnitude of three. The Richter Magnitude Scale typically ranges from 0 to 9.
David Galloway, a seismologist at the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh, said the earthquake was fairly small and went relatively unnoticed by residents because of the time of day it happened.
"We only had one person, who was already awake, report to us that they felt a slight rumbling," he said.
"Most people will have been asleep when this happened and we wouldn't expect it to wake anyone up. If it was during the day, and in an area of higher population, we would expect more reports of people having felt it.
"It is one of five or six recorded in the region within a 30km (19-mile) radius, and the largest since 1887.
"It is not a region that experiences many earthquakes."
No reports of any damage were made.

It's been a while since i last posted about python in science. I apologize to my readers, but it has been a very busy couple of months. As a matter of fact it still is (i am writing this on my cell phone while I comute), but let's get to the point.
The reason for this crazyer than usual months is that I switched jobs. I have been offered a job in a private research company called Intelekto. It is a very interesting company, it's business model is based on selling scientific expertise to companies willing to outsource their research and development needs, to an agile, highly focused company that can deliver solutions in a fraction of the time usually taken by regular companies just to mobilize a research team.
I was hired to manage the reserch team: a small core team of highly trained scientists, ready to crunch through the clients' scientific problems. Whenever the needs of a client falls outside the joint expertise of our core team, we hire other scientists, on a per project basis.
Most of the projects we get, involve the development of software. As a good pythonista, I am starting to build the Python skills of my team and am actively hiring good Python developers. I should say that our company is based in Brazil, but we already have global clients, and are interested in expanding our collaboration network with other global players.
Even though I've been at the head of the research team for less than a month, we are already working with Python tools in a couple of our projetcs: Pyro Robotics, to prototype a robot navigation system, and with NetworkX and Igraph for a graph visualization module.
Well, that pretty much sums up the most recent news. I hope to post about our experiences with Pyro robotics and Igraph soon.

Jewel Tones in the Living Room
Amethysts and emeralds aren't just gemstones. These rich colors are a great way to incorporate a touch of glam into your space. Jewel tones can be used as accents for a pop of color, or as a collection for a more luscious look.
A splash of sapphire on a wall can instantly change the mood in a room. Consider painting an accent wall or opt for an awesome wallpaper print. Check out these removable wallpaper options for those wary of taking the wallpaper plunge.
Art has a similar effect and can be especially powerful if you think big. Collage together a series of prints and photos, or frame a large poster to add those rich colors to your vertical surfaces.
Furniture and accessories are another great way to work in this color palette. If incorporating color is daunting, start with a base and layer in colors of similar value. Using white as a neutral makes your jewel tones pop, while darker grays and blacks have the ability to produce a more intimate affect.

The Cowboys won last night 24-17 in a game they dominated more than the final score shows. As the clock was ticking down and I was finally convinced that the Cowboys were going to pull it off I began to think about the enormity of the win. Sure, it was just one game. But let's take a look at how big one game can be.
It was a win against the defending Super Bowl champions. It was a win on the road. It was a division win. It was an NFC victory which comes into play in tiebreaker situations. It was a statement game that will make people realize that this season is not going to be a repeat of 2011. This was a big win.
Obviously the Cowboys didn't play a perfect game. But that is part of what makes this win so exciting. The Cowboys were sloppy on offense committing penalty after penalty. But even with all of the self-inflicted wounds the offense still managed to practically move at will in the second half of the game. It is exciting to think how good the Cowboys might be if they can clean up the penalties.
The defense was clearly improved over last season. There weren't receivers running free in the middle of the field and the Giants had almost no running game outside of one big run. There was pressure on Eli Manning both from edges and up the middle in his face. Demarcus Ware had two sacks but that is what we expect out of him. Sean Lee had 12 tackles and a forced fumble and almost no one is talking about him. This is a much improved defense that could develop into a dominating unit as the new starters get more comfortable in their roles.
Jason Witten was inspirational and proved, once again, why he is my favorite Dallas Cowboy of all time. How can you not pull for a guy that is willing to put it all on the line for his team? How can any player sit out of a game with a minor injury after seeing him do everything in his power to get on the field?
Kevin Ogletree proved a lot of people wrong including me. I really thought he was a lost cause this offseason. Last night he looked like a perfect replacement for the production that everyone thought was lost when Laurent Robinson left for Jacksonville. If Ogletree can consistently play like that the Cowboys will be tough to stop.
The offensive line had a lot of struggles but they did enough to allow Tony Romo to throw for over 300 yards and 3 TD's. And Demarco Murry ran for well over 100 yards once the line settled down after some early game struggles. I'm not saying the line made Romo's night easy because Romo had to pull his usual escape acts to extend several plays and Murray made a highlight reel run that was almost all him.
My MVP for the game is Tony Romo. I hope he can continue to put up games like that in big situations so that his critics will finally stop trying to tell us he is terrible. I honestly believe the Cowboys would have lost the game last night without Tony Romo. I can't imagine that Kyle Orton could have pulled off several of the scrambles and throws for touchdowns that Romo did.
It is only one game and we all have to remember that. But I'm going to enjoy this one for a few days after hearing about the Giants all offseason. This game doesn't erase the pain from what happened to end the season last year but it sure hurts a lot less now.
Quick afterthought: Are the Giants really complaining about the officiating? It sounds like they think the officiating was skewed against them. Seriously? There were 13 penalties against the Cowboys and only 4 against the Giants. The Cowboys were called for offensive holding twice. The Giants were called for holding a grand total of zero times. I saw Ware, Hatcher and Spencer all get held during the game. Maybe the better team just won the game.

Redskins look good. Not because of RG3, but that defense looks extremely physical.ReplyDelete

LifeWay Research president, Liberty alumnus calls for active church members
President of LifeWay Research and Liberty University alumnus Ed Stetzer ('95) challenged students in Wednesday's Convocation to be active churchgoers rather than passive spectators.
"From a study of 7,000 churches we found the majority of people in the majority of churches are unengaged in meaningful missions," Stetzer said, citing a recent LifeWay study.
LifeWay is one of the biggest providers of resources to churches and ministries in the world. LifeWay Research studies topics such as church leadership, emerging trends, attitudes of the churched and unchurched, and various issues to help equip church leaders with insight and advice that will lead to healthier and more effective churches.
Stetzer used 1 Peter 4:10-11 as a basis for his message to demonstrate what it looks like to "see all of God's people engaged in God's mission."
He encouraged students to understand the truth in this Scripture by developing four main points: all have gifts for God's ministry; God intends everyone to use their gifts; God empowers people to use their gifts; and the purpose of using the gifts is to ultimately bring glory to God.
Stetzer observed that titles, culture, and attitudes have affected people's roles in the church. Instead of being complacent and become unhealthily co-dependent on pastors and the church for spirituality, he encouraged an active service which "provokes one another to love and good deeds."
"God has not called us to play, pray, and stay out of the way. He has called all of us to ministry," he said. "We are not called to be customers of the church, but co-laborers in the mission of the Gospel."
Stetzer takes this mission to heart as a pastor and church planter. He has trained pastors and church planters on six continents on this subject. He has written several books, including "Planting New Churches in Postmodern Age," "Comeback Church," and "Perimeters of Light." He is a contributing editor for "Christianity Today" and a columnist for several publications, including "Outreach Magazine," and has been frequently cited and interviewed on news outlets such as USA Today and CNN.

Marco Rubio, a key member of the Gang of 8 that is working on comprehensive immigration reform legislation, says that, although he's "encouraged" by progress in talks on such legislation, "reports that the bipartisan group of eight senators have agreed on a legislative proposal are premature." Rubio's statement follows word that, with big business and big labor having agreed on a guest worker program, proposed legislation will soon follow.
In contrast to Rubio's statement, Lindsey Graham, also of the Gang of 8, says "I think we've got a deal." But Graham agrees with Rubio that the legislation hasn't been written yet. Graham presumably means that there's a deal in principle — a conceptual deal, if you will.
Rubio doesn't deny this. He states:
We have made substantial progress, and I believe we will be able to agree on a legislative proposal that modernizes our legal immigration system, improves border security and enforcement and allows those here illegally to earn the chance to one day apply for permanent residency contingent upon certain triggers being met.
Rubio also insists that before a Gang of 8 proposal is voted upon, there must be committee hearings and a chance for the other 92 Senators to weigh in. This is consistent with the commitment Rubio made to Rush Limbaugh and his audience.
But Chuck Schumer, the leading Democrat in the Gang of 8, seems to take a different view. He says:
I am very, very optimistic that we will have an agreement among the eight of us next week. Sen. Leahy has agreed to have extensive markup and debate on the bill in April, and then we go to the floor, God willing, in May.
Schumer doesn't mention hearings. Perhaps they are implied, but this sounds more like the normal rush-job that Rubio says he opposes. We'll see.
In the meantime, perhaps Rubio can explain why, according to Jeff Sessions, the ICE officers' union has been unable to speak with the Gang of 8, while certain special interests apparently have had plenty of access.

Sunday Grand Rapids Forecast: 'Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful' [Video]
There's only one way to sum up this Sunday morning: Slippery and treacherous.
Authorities across West Michigan report ice-, slush- and snow-covered roads, the result of a wintry mix dumped overnight.
The National Weather Service's Grand Rapids Office is reporting ice-covered environs with as much as 0.5 inch in Barry County, with snow of about 1 inch in Montcalm County just north of Greenville.
At 6:53 a.m., it was reported to be 32 degrees at Gerald R. Ford International Airport with light freezing drizzle, fog and mist. There was 0.12 inch of rain was reported in the previous 12 hours and 0.33 inches since Saturday at the airport, according to the National Weather Service.
It was also 32 degrees with light freezing rain and drizzle at Holland Airport.
Power outages this morning are being reported for more than 25,000 Consumers Energy customers in West Michigan, including 10,000 in Grand Rapids, primarily the Heritage Hill area; East Grand Rapids and Sparta; and another 1,100 in portions of Ottawa County, about 9,000 in Barry County, 3,500 in Montcalm County, according to our news partner WZZM-TV, Channel 13.
The forecast today is for a chance of freezing rain until early afternoon, with snow likely with accumulations of up to 1 1/2 inches this afternoon and tonight. Little or no ice accumulation is expected this morning, weather service officials said.
The high is expected to be no more than the freezing point, and the low is to be about 20 degrees.
On Monday, the National Weather Service is predicting snow showers with accumulation of about an inch during the day and two more inches overnight with a high near 24 and an overnight low of 13.
The forecast for Tuesday and Christmas Day is more of the same, with a chance for snow showers likely.
To help keep you entertained on this icy Sunday morning, enjoy a special version of "Let It Snow," sung by Patrick Stewart in character as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard of "Star Trek: Next Generation" fame, in this video created by James Covenant.
As for the conditions outside this morning, put simply: "Oh, the weather outside is frightful, ... ."

Every time you turn around, there's another layer of complexity surrounding dating. Online dating. Personal ads. Families. Being a single parent. Wondering if he is, in fact, the one. Wondering what's wrong with you if you're not the one for him.
One of the most important components to a functional relationship is sharing the same values and beliefs. This can include religious beliefs as well. So how do you handle it when you fall in love outside your faith? How do you handle interfaith dating?
Here are some tips.
First, and before things get TOO complicated between you guys, you're going to have to have a more serious discussion, which can be really scary when you first get together, because that's generally the honeymoon phase of a relationship and you're both all over-the-moon about each other.
This discussion should include how strictly you both follow your faith and how you feel about dating someone of another religion. You should also talk about how this difference would change the future - should there be one - as in, would one of you convert? How would you raise your children?
Knowing how much these issues affect you and your partner is key to interfaith dating.
Another thing to keep in mind is that while many people have been raised in a certain faith, they do not necessarily practice that faith. They may simply identify themselves that way because it's easier than saying "Lapsed (insert religion here)."
After speaking with your new partner, it's time to do some soul-searching. How do you feel about conversion to another faith? Do you feel strongly that you (or he) should have to convert to make the partnership work? Can you live and let live?
Basically, you're going to have to figure out if you can allow your two different religions to co-mingle and create new or separate traditions, or if being with someone of another faith is unacceptable to you. If it's a deal breaker, it's a deal breaker.
But if dating someone from another faith is NOT a deal breaker, talk to your partner about his religion. What does he believe? Learn more about each other's faith. It can be very eye-opening, inspirational, and educational -- and can lead to an even fuller, richer relationship.
What do you think about interfaith dating? Could you date someone outside your faith? Have you?

Social Media Can Accelerate the Social Good
Recently, I participated in a conversation with our LinkedIn community on GETideas.org. The crux of the discussion was labels–should there be a universal taxonomy for terms such as Global Education, and would trying to foster global adoption of such terms speed up the transformation of the societal challenges we face today? It got me thinking about all sorts of terms that pop into our language stream. One day you're talking about the "inequalities of the distribution of wealth and the effects of taxation on global markets;" the next day you're texting an associate and summing up your thought stream with the word "Occupy".
In my preparation for a panel discussion called Why enterprise Social Media Loves Social Good?, I poked around online to see if there was any consistency in the meaning for the term "social good". Almost all the discussions and posts I found connected "social good" directly to its use within the business community. While businesses vary in their approaches to social good, this definition seems to be a common one: "A good or service that benefits the largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of social goods are clean air, clean water and literacy; in addition, many economic proponents include access to services such as healthcare in their definition of the social or "common good". (Source: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/social_good.asp)
Given this definition, it became glaringly obvious to me why social media is no longer a "missing link" to achieving social good. Often in business, when we employ social media, we seek a metrics-driven connection to brand awareness, more customers, and more sales. However, given today's trends towards transparency– and the potential for rapid backlash against companies seen as "doing wrong"–we must now use social media to foster a customer's connection between meaningful purpose and his or her decision to make a purchase.
The caveat is that if we are not authentic in our journey with customers, and we do not demonstrate that we "benefit the largest number of people in the largest possible way," we miss an opportunity to build a long-lasting and trusted relationship with our customers. The stories of Ben & Jerry and Tom's Shoes are legendary; both companies began their business with the core goal of helping society. But how can other companies, that may have been established and grown in a world where the Sharing Economy did not exist, begin to integrate this new business model?
One approach is to look at corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a core philosophy within the company. A robust CSR agenda inspires action by connecting people to partners and working within a community to foster outcomes that impact everyone. Social media–and the collaborative tools that are evolving–will begin to empower a collective generosity, creativity, and commitment in this connected age.

McLean County Tournament results from Wednesday
It may be the last hurrah for Jonathan Williams, but what a way to go out. The Lexington girls' basketball head coach will be leaving the program soon because of a transfer for his day job. But he is still at the helm and his team will be playing for a consolation title after winning Wednesday.
The Minutemen defeated Blue Ridge 39-27 in the second consolation semifinal at LHS. They will take on Fisher, a 41-36 winner over Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley in the other semi, Friday night.
On the boys' side, Dee-Mack and LeRoy advanced to the consolation title with wins at LHS. The boys' final is also Friday.
Lexington 39, Blue Ridge 27
Tessa Walcott led Lexington with 12 points. Six came in the second period when the Minutemen began pulling away.
Lexington led 6-5 after one period but outscored the Knights 14-5 in the second quarter to hold a 20-10 advantage at the intermission.
LHS outscored Blue Ridge 8-6 in the third and played the Knights even in the final frame for the win.
Walcott added 7 rebounds to her stat sheet while Kelly Carmack and Gabby Freed added 8 points apiece for Lexington. Freed also snared 6 caroms. Allie Vollmer scored 6 points, Erica Davis had 3 points and Lillie Walcott chipped in 2 markers.
Blue Ridge outrebounded the Minutemen 40-21. Jamison Brandt had 13 points and 10 boards. Gabby Pearl added 8 points and 13 rebounds.
Fisher 41, GCMS 36
The Bunnies outscored GCMS 14-9 in the fourth quarter to advance. Fisher and the Falcons were tied at 27-27 at the end of three quarters. FHS trailed 18-14 at the break.
Sydney Blackwell made just one field goal but led Fisher with 16 points after going 14 of 14 from the free throw line. Caitlin Cole added 10 points.
Annie Schultz scored 11 points for the Falcons.
Dee-Mack 64, Tremont 55
On the boys' side, Dee-Mack won for the second time in tourney play and will play for the consolation title after stopping Tremont 64-55 in overtime. The Chiefs scored 14 points in the extra period after losing a four-point lead in the fourth quarter.
The game was tied at 50-50 at the end of regulation.
Grant Anderson had 23 points for the Chiefs and Brandon Weed added 14 — all coming in the fourth quarter and overtime. Brad Eigsti scored all 8 of his points in overtime.
Lucas Gibson led Tremont with 15 points and Bryce Breeden had 11.
LeRoy 47, Fisher 40
LeRoy outscored Fisher 10-4 in the third period to create a cushion and then matched the Bunnies in the final frame for the win.
The Panthers led 12-8 after the first quarter and was ahead 20-19 at the intermission.
Cole Pliura had 15 points, including making eight free throws in the fourth quarter, to pace LeRoy. Dalton Stewart added 13 points.
Grant Pointer had 10 points for the Bunnies.

- Collapsed bridge removed; Boulder Creek flood risk recedes
Five brides hoping to celebrate at least part of their nuptials at the Red Lion this weekend -- even after the only access bridge to the restaurant collapsed Tuesday in the rushing Boulder Creek -- got bad news Wednesday that they must find other venues.
Restaurant officials thought they might be allowed to shuttle wedding parties and their guests to the Boulder Canyon restaurant via Chapman Drive -- a steep, unpaved back road to the business that is partially on Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks land. But after open space officials reviewed the road Wednesday, they determined the risk is too great.
"It's a safety issue," said city spokesman Patrick von Keyserling. "The road is more like a fire path. It's dirt on a sandy base, with sharp switchbacks and no guard rails."
The 2.6-mile road, which begins at Flagstaff Road and passes over 1.6 miles of city open space property, has been approved for use by residents, contractors and emergency personnel, but not visitors or customers. Shuttles would have difficulty navigating the road, especially in wet conditions like those expected this weekend, von Keyserling said.
Chris Mueller, owner of the Red Lion, said school buses drove on that road years ago, and he believes shuttles would have been safe to use this weekend for the weddings, receptions and rehearsal dinners.
"It would have been fine," Mueller said. "We would not open for the public; just the parties would be shuttled up and down. We wouldn't have taken any chances."
This weekend's cancellations will cost his restaurant about $30,000, and Mueller said he's working with Boulder County and its permitting process to get a temporary walking bridge in place by next weekend, when three weddings are planned at the Red Lion. The restaurant has dozens of weddings booked this summer, said manager Christina Mueller.
"They took $500 out of all my employees' pockets because they will get no hours and no tips," she said. "They put 40 people out of work for the weekend, at least. And there is no guarantee that we will be up by next weekend."
Mueller said she thinks the city is being unreasonable in its refusal to let the back road be used.
"Why is a road that's meant for fire trucks not being maintained to be safe?" she said.
Mueller said she's been working with her competitors in Boulder County to accommodate the brides and grooms. The Boulder Country Club in Gunbarrel agreed to take two weddings -- one Friday and one Sunday -- and match the menus and pricing. Red Lion employees will be sitting on the roadside this weekend making sure wayward wedding guests can find the right venue, Mueller said.
Jennifer Taber, 30, of Westminster, planned to have her long-awaited wedding ceremony Sunday at the Red Lion and was bummed about the cancellation, saying she would have willingly put everyone on four-wheelers to get to the venue.
"We thought that would have been an amazing story to tell kids, when we have kids," she said. "But it's been pretty disappointing."
Taber and her husband were supposed to get married at the Red Lion two years ago, but her grandmother passed away and they had to postpone it. Their second date also was pushed when she had to have knee surgery, Taber said.
In September 2008, the couple married before a small group of people but still dreamed about getting all their family together for a big ceremony in the mountains. Instead, they will get married before about 80 guests Sunday at the Boulder Country Club.
"It's OK," she said. "But it's not the Red Lion."
In 50 years, for the couple's golden anniversary, Taber said, she hopes to finally have a celebration at the Red Lion.
"That is, if they're still around," she said. "That's the thing we're worried about."
Boulder County and Colorado Department of Transportation officials said that because the bridge is on private property, it's the Red Lion's responsibility to pay for the rebuild. Mueller, the owner, said he doesn't agree and needs to spend more time looking at who should cover the roughly $50,000 cost of rebuilding.
If it's left up to him, Mueller said, he will be forced to close the 47-year-old business. His daughter said she can't imagine that.
"We are a historic place, and we have been serving the public for so long," she said. "It breaks my heart that we might be permanently closed by all of this."
A huge 20- by 15-foot section of the main access bridge to the Red Lion collapsed mid-morning Tuesday. Officials worked all day to remove chunks of bridge from the creek and dismantle the crumbling structure out of fear that a total washout of the bridge would send 2 feet of water downstream and overflow the creek banks.
City officials and emergency responders said Wednesday that the creek flow was down after Tuesday's scare, although it was still running relatively high and fast. Boulder County will remain under a flood advisory through 1:15 p.m. Friday, and city officials said they'll continue to monitor the water levels.

Robert talks about the standing ovation that his new movie Good Time got at Cannes and he reveals a crazy thing that happened on set.
"Movie crime, real crime, heroes, zeroes, the naked, the dead and the termites eating away at your Lazy Boy's legs. Here's a bunch of movies that kept us hot and bothered all through the conception and realization of our newest feature. There's a nylon thread running through 'em: the hapless plight of the snakebit fool, bouncing through life like a pinball, responding shrewdly to the moment but having zero say in the future. It's the present tense alone makes the hero holy, and it's his utter impotence in the grand scheme of life that makes him human. So enjoy the NOW!"from the Good Time team
just read somewhere "if Abel Ferrara directed After Hours"
Side note, this is the first screening I've been to when they gave us full page scantron questionnaires to fill out about our opinions on the movie.
Did you get to critique the trailers, too? That's the best.

MODESTO — An off-duty police officer is dead and a state highway worker is hospitalized after a big-rig slammed into stopped traffic on a Central California highway.
Road work was being done Wednesday afternoon on State Route 132, limiting traffic to just one lane. A flagman was being used so east and west vehicles could take turns using the one lane.
The flagman, California Department of Transportation worker Brian Smith, had signaled eastbound traffic to stop just before the crash.
A Nissan and Honda were stopped when the big-rig struck the Honda, killing the off-duty Oakdale officer on impact and sending the Nissan into the 51-year-old Caltrans worker.
The Modesto Bee says the name of the officer is being withheld because relatives are still being contacted.
Smith is hospitalized.

A man who joined his flatmate in plotting to rob and murder soul singer Joss Stone was jailed for 18 years by a British court.
Junior Bradshaw, 32, acted as driver for Kevin Liverpool, who was jailed for life in April for devising the plot to kidnap Stone from her rural home in Devon, southwest England.
Bradshaw was sentenced to 18 years in prison by a judge at Exeter Crown Court in Devon yesterday, after a jury found both men guilty of conspiracy to murder in April.
Liverpool, 35, was jailed immediately after the trial for a minimum of 10 years and eight months, but Bradshaw's sentencing was delayed while psychiatric reports were prepared.
The pair were arrested in June 2011 a few kilometres from Stone's home, with an array of weapons including a samurai sword in their car.
Residents near Stone's home had alerted police after the bungling duo stopped to ask for directions. They had also asked a postman for directions, showing him a photograph of the singer.
Notes found in the defendants' possession showed they intended to decapitate the pop star before dumping her body in a river, their trial heard.
The 25-year-old singer, who burst onto the scene in 2003 with her platinum-selling debut album "The Soul Sessions", was at home at the time.
She told the trial that security had been lax at the house and she had rarely locked her front door, adding: "But I do now."

how do we go about organizing such a thing ? I live in Jefferson County, and would be thrilled to help arrange such a thing?
Seems like a few of us are in the eastern panhandle... any possibility of a meet?
Hello everyone. Just wanted to add my voice to this group and say that I am an atheist living in southern West Virginia. Being an atheist can be tough in WV (particularly in the more rural areas). I know that my high school did not respect the separation of church and state in several instances and let students bully their gay classmates with little to no repercussions. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
I am in the east, would've thought given my (relative) closeness to Washington DC, that there would be oodles of others, but if there are, they are hidden.
Do we have any atheist hoopies in the northern panhandle? I live near Wheeling.
Welcome to WV! If you are ever in the area, feel free to check out the Morgantown Atheists. We have plenty of events which you can find by going to http://www.morgantownatheists.com/ or joining our Facebook group.
...crap...didn't finish:
I didn't consider how strong the cultural influence around here would be.
Brother Sam Singleton - Goddamn! Depending on exactly where this hypothetical center might be, even the wife might be up for a short road trip to share libation(s) with some of y'all.
Joe Longwell - I suppose I knew that. I've worked up in Martinsburg for awhile now (which is why we finally moved), and some of my co-workers are outspoken about their faith. But I also attributed that to other aspects of their lives, and didn't really consider how
Maybe some of us oughta get together for a friendly libation somewhere near the center of the state. OK, near what West Virginia has instead of a center. You know, West Virginia holds the geographic distinction of more closely resembling the Flying Spaghetti Monster than any other state. So there's that.
Hello, everyone! Wife & I just moved to WV (Eastern Panhandle, Bunker Hill area) from Maryland. Gotta tell you, we're happy to find this group! Our very first full day here (Dec. 1), the gas man (Mountaineer Gas) invited us to church, and told me about how wonderful life is since he found Jesus.
Is WV really THAT religious?

As summer winds down, the fall sports season is just getting started. Everyone loves an entertaining game of small-town football, field hockey, soccer and other competitive endeavors, and the Lehigh Valley is no exception. However, one thing in particular that deserves more recognition is the athleticism and dedication of high school cheerleaders. While, yes, once upon a time, cheerleaders often graced the sidelines simply for their pretty smiles and perky dance moves, cheerleading has evolved into quite the athletic competition.
Pompoms and megaphones aside, cheerleading has developed into competitive routines based on stunting/pyramids, jumps, tumbling and dancing outside of the sidelines. In fact, PIAA has officially declared cheerleading a sport for the 2012-13 school year, with a statewide competition being held in Hershey at the beginning of February. By doing so, PIAA has given high school cheerleading programs across the state a fair and honest chance at a genuine state title. (Before, squads had the option to compete at privately run regional competitions, mainly under the Universal Cheerleaders Association or the National Cheerleaders Association.)
Cheerleaders will now have the privilege of participating in a true school sport with rankings, rivalries and a defined competition season. Cheer programs across the state will begin to become more uniform as distinctions are made from sideline cheerleading to competitive cheerleading. Not only is PIAA's recognition important for the fairness of competition, but it also answers the age-old question if cheerleading is in fact a sport: competitive cheerleading; yes, sideline cheerleading, no.
Furthermore, another positive of the official sanctioning of cheerleading is safety. In a 2010 report, ABC News "Nightline" raised the question of whether cheerleading is the nation's most dangerous sport. Both stunting and tumbling contribute to a high risk of head and neck injuries in competitive cheerleading. Before, safety was overseen by AACCA — American Association of Cheerleading Coaches & Administrators. While coaches and athletic directors should have carried out any safety standards, nothing more than a slap on the wrist or a deduction from a competition judge would have occurred. PIAA will now have authority over the skills athletes should be allowed to compete in tandem with the AACCA.
Another important aspect of cheerleading that all sports enthusiasts should be aware of is the hard work and training that goes into becoming a cheerleader. Cheerleaders often train year-round to achieve skills and perfect the ones they already have. Cheerleaders will dedicate much time to training at their schools' weight rooms, at their own gyms, and at gymnastic and cheerleading training facilities to keep in tiptop shape. Cardiovascular endurance as well as a strong core is essential for becoming a talented cheerleader. All-star programs (purely competitive cheerleading squads) are increasing in popularity, and all cheerleaders train consistently to give the best performances during peak competition season from January to March.
Lastly, Lehigh Valley residents in particular should keep their eyes peeled for their local cheerleaders — they're good. The Lehigh Valley is already booming with talented high school programs that opt to compete, some even participating in UCA Nationals in Orlando, Fla., come mid-February. The Colonial League holds its annual league competition in mid-November, while the Lehigh Valley Conference dukes it out in December. Districts are typically held in the last week of January.
Cheerleading is yet another outlet for those with a passion to compete. Cheerleading, like any sport, is based on training hard, perfecting skills, and performing at one's best, all while building character, teamwork and work ethic. High school cheerleading will always proudly carry the tradition of supporting other sports teams throughout the year, but it's also time for everyone to know that the spirited students cheering on the sidelines come fall are also hardworking athletes with their own sport and season.
Emi Gutgold is a senior at Northwestern Lehigh High School, where she is a four-year member of the varsity cheerleading team and is captain this year as well as class president.

Screwtape encourages confusion and pride:
The sense of ownership in general is always to be encouraged. The humans are always putting up claims to ownership which sound equally funny in Heaven and in Hell and we must keep them doing so. Much of the modem resistance to chastity comes from men's belief that they 'own' their bodies—those vast and perilous estates, pulsating with the energy that made the worlds, in which they find themselves without their consent and from which they are ejected at the pleasure of Another! It is as if a royal child whom his father has placed, for love's sake, in titular command of some great province, under the real rule of wise counsellors, should come to fancy he really owns the cities, the forests, and the corn, in the same way as he owns the bricks on the nursery floor.
We produce this sense of ownership not only by pride but by confusion. We teach them not to notice the different senses of the possessive pronoun—the finely graded differences that run from 'my boots' through 'my dog', 'my servant', 'my wife', 'my father', 'my master' and 'my country', to 'my God'. They can be taught to reduce all these senses to that of 'my boots', the 'my' of ownership.

lifted after I contacted Delphi and explained the situation."[24]
Milne, one of the three most prolific posters to alt.religion.scientology, eventually
adopted more standard practice, but it didn't improve his image much--one regular
gleefully posted a "killfile count" (sample: 534 of Milne's messages killed in one
week). Milne criticized this: "What the killfilers are showing is that they can't tolerate
a point of view other than their own--the exact allegation they level against the
Church." He has, he says, also received hate email, including the statement
"Scientologists should be hunted and shot like dogs."
Also in late March, Daniel Davidson, a student at San Francisco State University,
found himself called on the carpet by his system administrator after Kobrin
complained that he had posted copyrighted and confidential information to the Net.
Davidson said that all he did was hit
a couple of keys to copy a posting from alt.activism into alt.religion.
scientology, since it was relevant to the discussion there--behavior which on the
Net is generally accepted as normal rather than a copyright violation. By the time
the meeting with his system administrator took place, email from Netizens had
gotten him out of trouble.[25]
By that time, too, regular critics had begun reporting strange incidents in which their
long-distance phone companies were asked for information about their bills by
unauthorized strangers; one said his neighbors had received visits from a private
investigator; and another said the local police had come around bearing printouts of
alt.religion.scientology postings. One user's real name and hometown (she used
her husband's account and a consistent pseudonym for posting online) were
divulged by Milne in what she considered to be an invasion of privacy, "for no other
reason than asking questions of the wrong group."
And then there was Scamizdat, still jeering and posting anonymously, taking the
law into his own hands. A day or so after I let it be known that I'd welcome a quote
from this person about his or her activities, an anonymous message landed in my
email box. It read: "I am just a netizen fighting a litigious cult in the age of
information. While the net has its own perpetual struggles among its orthodoxy and
revisionists, it strobes into immobility lawyers and money that darken the battles in
the ordinary world. Once a representative portion of the Scientologist cartoon
mythology is posted into undeniable digital immortality I will snow crash back into
oblivion. SCAMIZDAT."
It took until March 21, 1996, for the CoS to file that expected lawsuit and obtain a
temporary restraining order against Grady Ward. The accusation: that he was
"The only thing I really care about is freedom of speech (and criticism) on the net,"
says Ward, who categorically denied the charges in a 1996 email interview. He
was, however, asked by Judge Whyte not to call the CoS lawyer "Madame Kobrin"
in court. Regular alt.religion.scientology readers had no trouble recognizing this as
a reference to the newsgroup habit of referring to Kobrin as "the 'Ho of Babble-on."
On the newsgroup, she is routinely mocked and ridiculed, and people boast about
getting letters from her directing them to cease posting portions of the secret
documents as a kind of status symbol.
Ward was quickly followed into the courts by Keith Henson. Henson, whose
interests in space colonization and cryonics were chronicled in Ed Regis's 1992
book Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition,[26]
welcomed the case, saying by email in 1996, "It will increase my status on the net."
Henson has filed a counterclaim for $500 million in damages.
Ward and Henson pose a new challenge for the CoS. Unlike the shocked former
Scientologists raided earlier, these two seem to be enjoying their situation
enormously. Acting as their own attorneys, they also seem determined to push the
CoS as far as possible into producing witnesses and documentary evidence, even
successfully demanding that David Miscavige make himself available to testify
(Miscavige was deposed in May 1997). The transcripts of the court hearings,
available in full on the Net, reveal a true clash of cultures in which the CoS

Standing Desks
The human body is designed to stand, not sit. Research has shown that sitting for more than six hours a day leads to increasing the risk of diabetes by 40% and cardiovascular disease by 50%, leading to health problems for the worker and increased health insurance costs for the employer.
Sitting at a desk all day is no longer acceptable for a workforce wanting more flexibility and improved health. Adjustable height standing desks and work stations are a good solution for encouraging movement in the workplace.
Standing desks allow workers to easily alternate between seated and standing positions throughout the work day, reducing backaches and pains, stress and tension, and improving circulation throughout the body. Combined with other ergonomic accessories like monitor arms, keyboard trays, sit/stand stools, anti-fatigue mats and footrests, worker attentiveness, productivity and safety can be increased.
Our selection of standing desks have been chosen to provide you with easy adjustability. Electronic lift controls and programmable position memory ensure quiet, smooth transitions. In, we offer a variety of work surfaces in a number of colors, including standard and ESD laminates, as well as maple butcher block tops.

If your husband stops wanting to have sex with you, the first thing that usually goes through your mind is that he's having an affair. I mean, why else would a guy turn down a romp in the sack unless he's getting that romp elsewhere, right??!!! But there's a lot of reasons that hubby can lose his sex drive. And it's happening more and more (or at least people are willing to admit it more). I know couples who have been married less than a year and suddenly the guy loses his mojo -- guys in their 20s even! In fact, a recent poll found that 62 percent of men turn down sex more than their female partner does. What gives??
Here's 12 reasons your husband may not want to have sex with you -- besides having an affair.
Low testosterone levels. Believe it or not, this is pretty common. Experts seem to think it has something to do with our polluted environment. Not to mention that testosterone levels drop with age. Have hubby get his checked.
Illness. Diseases such as diabetes, pituitary tumors, renal problems and cystic fibrosis can all apparently affect testosterone levels and libido.
Medications. Anti-depressants and beta blockers, which are often used for high blood pressure, can make a man lose his sex drive.
Obesity. Apparently testosterone can get lost in the belly fat. Get him a gym membership and strongly suggest he become familiar with that thing called a treadmill.
The pill. Some experts believe that the estrogen in contraceptive pills is making its way to water sources, and from there to men, making them lose their manly drive. Sheesh. More fodder for birth control haters.
Food packaging and chemicals. Some experts feel that the chemicals in food packing such as bisphenol A and phthalates lower testosterone.
Stress. Apparently the current ecomomic climate isn't good for a dude's sex drive. Damn that Obama!
Sexual orientation. Let's face it, there's still a lot of closeted men out there, and often long dry spells are the only clue that your man might prefer a different set of equipment. Put on some gay porn "by accident" and see if he suddenly gets randy.
Lost attraction. Women aren't going to want to hear this, but I've heard from plenty of men that they simply lose their desire for their partner after awhile, often because she's gained weight, doesn't try to be sexy anymore, or just generally doesn't look like she used to. Might want look into Jenny Craig.
Too much porn. Some men can lose their desire for a real woman once they get addicted to all those unrealistic-looking XXX women. Disable his YouPorn account.
Boredom. Sex with the same person for many years can get boring. Sorry. Truth hurts.
Kids. Kids can put a crimp into any sex life, but a lot of men weren't raised to think of "mommies" in a hubba hubba way. Now that you've become one, it's hard for them to think of wanting to bend you over the kitchen counter -- unless it's to make him a meal.
So what do you do? How do you know which of the many reasons your man might not want sex with you anymore is the real one? Honestly, all you can do is talk with your husband. Don't be accusational or confrontational or he's much less likely to tell you the truth. That said, even the most understanding woman might not get an honest answer out of a man who is either too embarrassed to tell the truth, or who doesn't even quite know WHY he's feeling this way.
The good news is that testosterone shots or a prescription for Viagra might be all many men need to get them back in the saddle. If all else fails, check his email and see if he's having an affair.

Power Marketing necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 63 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
The Black People Against Obama organization is a group of American Patriots who also happen to be black that do not support the Presidency of Barack Obama.
Everybody. This job is not a joke. This is a serious organization that plans on launching a national campaign by the beginning of 2011. The winner of this Logo design will ultimately have some strong "bragging rights" by showing this logo in their design portfolio. Our website that is not really LIVE yet (scheduled for January 1st, 2011) is http://www.blackpeopleagainstobama.com
Be creative. We are looking for a vector logo that probably would look best with a thick sans-serif font. Black and White are probably the best colors to use, but not necessarily. We are open to any ideas and nobody in our organization is racist or sensitive so you will not have to worry about creating a logo or an image that would offend us. In fact, a shocking or inflammatory logo might be what we end up choosing (but again, not necessarily).
The LOGO should somehow capture the spirit of the organization which is the following:
• Educating the public concerning the true history of blacks in America.
• Supporting and providing a forum for genuine patriarchal leadership amongst black families and communities.
• Promoting political parties and platforms that seek to abolish the identification of people based on color or ethnicity.
• Seeking the ultimate goal of eliminating all references to color or ethnicity by integrating all american citizens under the banner and title "American."
Black People Against Obama is a division of the Freedom Man organization (http://www.freedomman.org).

Begin your painting project by pouring thoroughly mixed paint into a bucket and dipping a quality 2"-2½" wide nylon/polyester brush into the paint.
Starting with a top panel of the garage door, paint into the recessed area of the panel. Begin at a corner of the recess and continue around its perimeter.
Continue painting the remainder of the panel until the entire panel is complete. Repeat the process of painting the panels and their recesses until all the panels are complete. Wipe away the excess paint that has overlapped onto the stiles.
With your brush, paint (cut in) around the perimeter of the garage door in a 2"-3" wide section. Start at the top corner and continue along the walls.
From the bucket, pour paint into a paint tray and work the roller into the tray until it is fully loaded with paint. For best results, use a 3/8"-3/4" roller cover.
With your roller, paint the stiles around the perimeter of each panel. Continue until the garage door is complete.
Again with your brush, paint the inside frame of the door starting at the top of the frame.
Continue until the door frame is complete. Wipe away the excess paint that has overlapped onto the trim.
Starting at a top corner of the door trim, paint the side edge of the trim where it meets the wall. Continue until all edges of the trim are complete.
Return to the top of the door trim and begin painting the face of the trim.
Continue until the garage door trim is complete.

A drunken driver who drove the wrong way on a freeway in Torrey Highlands and put another driver in a wheelchair pleaded guilty Dec. 19 to drunken driving causing serious injury.
Jennifer K. Sase, 38, of Santee, drove the wrong way on state Route 56 on April 18 at 11:25 p.m. and hit a car driven by Sayeh Solati, 61, which overturned near the exit for Camino del Sur.
Solati suffered fractures to her neck, foot, knee and two fingers, according to court records. She also suffered bleeding in the brain, and she will require a knee-replacement operation. She uses a wheelchair now because of damage to her knee.
Sase agreed to accept a one-year jail term. San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide set sentencing for Jan. 30 and state prison has been ruled out. Sase remains free on $25,000 bond.
Sase admitted she inflicted great bodily injuries to Solati. Sase's blood-alcohol level was 0.18, twice the legal limit.
A California Highway Patrol officer smelled alcohol on her breath and she admitted to drinking before she drove.
According to the arrest warrant declaration, a CHP officer wrote that Sase didn't know she was driving the wrong way on a freeway due to her intoxication.

Suspect back in custody after being shot by Torrrey Pines ranger
A transient who was shot by park ranger at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve faces a Jan. 22 preliminary hearing on two felony assault charges.
Charles Dustin Collins, 29, was arraigned in his hospital bed at Scripps Memorial Hospital after he had surgery to repair a torso wound from the Dec. 13 incident.
The state park ranger heard an earlier report about a naked man in the park and confronted Collins at a tent where he was living. According to the charges, Collins came out of the tent with a knife in a threatening manner and the ranger fired a shot at him.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Peter Gallagher set bail at $100,000. Collins has denied the charges and he remains in custody.

Students' kidnapper to get 14-year sentence
The man who kidnapped and robbed two UCSD students in La Jolla before forcing them to drive him to Pacific Beach to escape pleaded guilty and has agreed to accept a 14-year prison term at his sentencing on Jan. 9.
Miguel Torres Espinoza, 29, of San Diego admitted to kidnapping Raymond Chung and his girlfriend, Jessica Liu, both 20, in the parking lot of the CVS Pharmacy on Villa La Jolla Drive on Sept. 11 around 11 p.m.
He forced the couple to drive to their bank ATM and withdraw $420. Both students believed the gun Espinoza displayed to them was real, but it later turned out to be an air pistol.
Espinoza also stole Liu's laptop and Chung's wallet and cell phone. After taking the money, he demanded to be let out of the car in a residential area of Pacific Beach. The students called police, who found Espinoza running uphill on Loring Street at Soledad Mountain Road.
Espinoza pleaded guilty to two kidnapping counts and two robbery charges. He could have received two life terms on the kidnapping-for-robbery charges.

One of the (ever-growing list of) frustrations with Facebook is its control over which updates you are shown through the use of its algorithm, EdgeRank.
One of the benefits of using Google Plus is that there is no EdgeRank algorithm. Nor anything like it. On Google Plus, it is possible to not only see every update posted by every person in your Circles, but to also control exactly how much content you are shown by each Circle.
