STOCKTON - The maroon machine is starting to roll.
STOCKTON - The maroon machine is starting to roll.
The Edison High football program was under attack following the 2012 season by The South Stockton Concerned Parents Group, which tried to get head coach Andre Horace and his staff fired.
The group accused Horace of engineering the program's downfall despite a winning percentage comparable to his predecessors.
The group failed, and now Edison is thriving.
While the season is young, the Vikings are 2-0 for the first time since 2003, when they started 5-0 and later played in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I finals. It's the only postseason appearance Edison has made since 1983.
The Vikings host Oakland-Fremont (0-2) at 7:15 p.m. today at Magnasco Stadium. While Horace says he enjoys seeing players smiling and enjoying themselves, too much emotion can be a bad thing.
"I always try to stay level headed," Horace said. "As the leader of the football team, I try to explain to the kids that when you're doing well, you want to stay at a certain level (emotionally), and if you're not doing well, you want to stay at a certain level. You don't want that success to dictate how you feel."
Senior running back and co-captain Calvin Gray, who spoke out in defense of his coach in the offseason, says there's a difference in team chemistry this year.
"We're having a lot of fun," he said. "We're coming together as a team, and we're coming together as a family. We play as a team much better than last year."
The foundation, Horace said, was set over the summer by a more focused and goal-oriented coaching staff. Of particular benefit was a camp in Elk Grove that featured Elk Grove, Elk Grove-Franklin, Rocklin and Roseville-Woodcreek high schools.
"Going to camp in the summertime allowed us to fix things," he said. "It allowed us to see deficiencies early."
The results paid off. Trailing 14-6 after three quarters of the season opener at Chavez, Gray scored twice and Keith Denegal returned a fumble 77 yards for a touchdown in a 30-point fourth quarter that ended with a 36-21 Vikings victory.
"That was very important for us," co-captain Anthony Baker III said. "The first game is important for any season, for any team. It shows you how your season's going to go, and I think we're going to have a great season."
That quarter set the tone for the Vikings, who beat Felton-San Lorenzo Valley 66-0 last week to move to 2-0.
"We played OK for three quarters (against Chavez), but we kept shooting ourselves in the foot," Horace said. "In that fourth quarter we limited our mistakes and got that maroon machine rolling."

— On a recent misty morning, if you were standing in the right spot, you could have looked up to see a helicopter emerge from the pale heavens above this coastal enclave and a famous face squinting in concentration from the pilot's seat. Clint Eastwood is 80 but, no surprise, he is still at the controls, whether it's flying or filmmaking.
"I came in from Shasta but the fog slowed me down," Eastwood said with a smile a short time later. His hands were stuffed down in pockets and his posture suggested a man in no hurry but, really, the restless Hollywood icon always hears the ticking of an internal clock.
This Sunday, "Hereafter," Eastwood's 32nd feature film as a director, will premiere at 35th Toronto International Film Festival. This is his sixth film in less than four years, the production spanned four countries and it represents Eastwood's biggest foray into digital visual effects; it also happens to be a startling tale about the afterlife that is spiritual instead of merely supernatural. None of these things suggests that Eastwood will switch to autopilot as he moves into the twilight.
"At the age I am now, I just don't have any interest in going back and doing the same sort of thing over and over, that's one of the reasons I moved away from westerns," said Eastwood, who started his career as a later-model John Wayne and will finish it as something close to a modern John Ford. "The question about what happens after we die is something that we all ask and when I read the script by Peter Morgan it was so intelligent and I knew right away that I wanted to do it."
"Hereafter," which opens wide on Oct. 22, is a cinematic triptych with the separate stories of battered souls searching for answers about the afterlife — there's a reluctant Bay Area psychic ( Matt Damon), a London youngster (Frankie McLaren) grieving the death of his twin brother and a French journalist (Belgium-born actress Cécile de France) who was caught up in a tsunami, killed by the raging water and then revived after a strange, spectral experience.
The movie was filmed in London, Paris, Hawaii and San Francisco and the script by Morgan ("The Queen," "Frost/Nixon") is rooted in recent history with key moments that play out against a backdrop of that South Pacific tsunami and terrorist bombings on the London underground. Eastwood, though, said the core of the story is the enduring mystery around the simplest of questions: "What's next?"
It's a movie that, because of Eastwood's age, will be read by many as an artistic statement about his turning toward his own mortality. He pondered that notion for a moment but found any insight elusive. "I'd like to think I would have made this movie when I was 30 or 40 too, because it's a good story. I don't know. I was more of an actor who directed back then and now I'm more of a director who acts. Or occasionally acts. Or maybe never acts..."
Eastwood owns the Mission Ranch Hotel in Carmel and he chose the property's piano bar as the spot to sit down and discuss "Hereafter." The bar was closed but the staff was already at work in the kitchen and, in a rear corner, a piano tuner was hunched over the keyboard, pinging away in search of perfection. The hotel has belonged to Eastwood since the late 1980s, but it is far more than a portfolio holding.
"I used to come to here when I was in the army, back in 1951 or 1952, at Fort Ord," Eastwood said. "I think I had my first legal beer here when I was 21. It was funky joint. Anyway they were going to tear it all down, take it all out and put in condos. I thought, well, nah, we can't let that happen. It didn't seem right to me."
Eastwood does what feels right in his filmmaking too. He now is famously immune to commercial imperatives or marketing priorities. Exhibit A: His last movie was a South African rugby story and the less-than-inviting title was "Invictus." In "Hereafter," the characters quickly dismiss the world's major religions and academia as viable paths on their search for the afterlife.
"It's a spiritual story but there are no real religious connotations to it," Eastwood said. "The [major religions] are kind of unsatisfying to the kid in our story because he's looking for something that can answer his questions. He wants a straight answer and he can't seem to find anything from people who turn out to be either psychics looking for a fast buck or people just talking … you don't really see movies like this these days that have a spiritual aspect or a romantic aspect. And it is romantic. These days you have a lot of movies about people jumping on each other in the sack but we don't have that. This is more about attraction."
The movie also has a big, harrowing special-effects scene early on and reserves its third act for something far less bombastic. That resists the usual physics of Hollywood moviemaking, and executive producer Steven Spielberg talked to Morgan about that decision early on as potential concern. The screenwriter, interviewed this week by phone in London, said he wrote a different ending that would have a grander scale. Everyone agreed, though, that in the final analysis, "Hereafter" was going to keep its unconventional contours.
More importantly, according to Damon, Eastwood already had made up his mind that the structure was just fine as it was. The actor, talking by phone Tuesday from New York, said Eastwood's movies — such as "Gran Torino" and "Letters From Iwo Jima" — are clearly not cookie-cutter endeavors.
"The classic thinking is you can't peter out in your third act, you have to go bigger, and the other classic Hollywood thinking is that all the questions have to be answered," Damon said. "'Is it clear enough? I don't want an 8-year-old to come see this and not know what's going on.' With Clint, his process is free of all that grist mill. He can do something that has a different shape. It wouldn't occur to him to have a giant set piece in the third act because, well, this story doesn't require it."
Damon, in a cheeky moment, referred to the new movie as "Clint Eastwood's French film" and Eastwood himself has appraised the movie as a spiritual "chick flick."
The 39-year-old Damon and the elder filmmaker have a strong mutual admiration society going after working together on "Invictus," and Eastwood juggled the "Hereafter" filming schedule to shoehorn the project into the actor's tight schedule. Damon plays George Lonegan, who has an everyman aura but also a singular problem. As a child, he died and came back on the operating table and returned with a "gift" — he can converse with the restive spirits of the dead who have not moved on. The connection is made when he touches a living person and essentially dials up their dearly departed. The visions aren't the horror-show sort from "The Sixth Sense" — this film's séance soul is more like a lonely-heart undertaker who wearies of the hungry grief of the living.
"Matt is a gem to work with," Eastwood said. "A lot of guys will count sides [the pages in the script] and look at something like this and say, 'Well, there's three stories and I'm only in one of them.' He saw the value of the overall project and he's a writer and he really liked the story. I like the character — he has this knack but he can't stand it. He's reticent and he doesn't want to connect with the dead and he can't connect with the living."
Eastwood said he feels a strong sense of satisfaction with this film, and the people around him seem excited and anxious about the movie. Whether it connects with a wide audience (or Academy Award voters) "Hereafter" veers away from soft-glow answers or maudlin moments. Eastwood is no greeting-card messenger nor is he an adamant apostle.
"People ask me what I believe," Eastwood said as he watched sheep meander across the rustic hotel's pasture. "I say, 'I don't know yet.' I'm not closed off to it. There are points in my life when I thought I knew all the answers and other times when I was sure I didn't know any of them. Right now, well, I'm waiting to see. Aren't we all?"

Grizell T. Parsons, a retired civilian employee of the Army Intelligence Command and a neighborhood activist, died Sept. 4 of a cerebral hemorrhage at her West Baltimore home. She was 88.
The former Grizell Haynie was born and raised in Heathsville, Va., where she attended Northumberland County, Va., public schools.
After graduating from Julius Rosenwald High School, she attended Virginia Union College. She moved to Baltimore in the 1940s and went to work at the old Glenn L. Martin Co. in Middle River, and later at Western Electric Corp.
In 1947, she married Alvin Wesley Thompson, a mechanic, who died in 1955.
After her children were grown, she returned to work in 1962 at the old Rosewood State Hospital. In 1965, she began working for the Army Intelligence Command at Fort Holabird and later at Fort Meade, where her work was of a confidential nature.
"She received numerous commendations and having never even disclosed to her family the nature of the confidential matters on which she worked," said a daughter, Brenda N. Hanks of Baltimore.
Mrs. Parsons retired in 1988.
Mrs. Parsons was a longtime active member of the Pinehurst Neighborhood Association in West Baltimore. In 1994, a resolution was passed by the House of Delegates honoring her numerous efforts, including in "recognition of your spiritual leadership and the sustaining of the Black Church as the major anchor of the African-American community."
She was a member for many years of Union Baptist Church, where she was a member of its Deaconess Board and in 1987 was selected as Deaconess of the Year. She was also a member of the church's Gertrude Neal Circle.
Mrs. Parsons was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, where she had been secretary, treasurer, Warder, Worthy Matron and district deputy director.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at her church, 1219 Druid Hill Ave.
In addition to her daughter, Mrs. Parsons is survived by two sons, Oliver N. Parsons of Pasadena and U.S. District Judge Alvin W. Thompson of Windsor, Conn.; another daughter, Maria G. Parsons of Northeast Baltimore; and six grandchildren. Her daughter, Pamela Joette Thompson, died in 1982, and another daughter, Mary Adele Parsons Nash, died in 1992. A marriage to James E. Parsons ended in divorce.

Throughout his 35 years as a developer, Robert Stark has masterminded neighborhood shopping centers of various sizes. But the president of Cleveland-based Stark Enterprises has shifted the rudder at his firm. From now on, Stark pledges the company will focus exclusively on "community cores" — a mixed-use concept that Stark ambitiously hopes will eventually reshape U.S. cities and keep the United States competitive in a rapidly shifting global economy.
The developer describes the concept as "a mixed-use neighborhood with a mission." That mission is to combine all the aspects of modern city or suburban life in one area with as much density and as many varied purposes as possible. The goal is to generate vitality and energy, attracting more people and further boosting the dynamism in a loop of positive feedback.
The community cores go beyond run-of-the-mill mixed-use developments in several ways. The projects should be at least six city blocks in size and must be situated at the crossroads of a community's main thoroughfare — which by necessity makes a community core an in-fill development, Stark says. Depending on circumstances, cores may be suitable to exurbs and inner-ring suburbs as well as downtown areas.
On the horizon for Stark is a far more ambitious and grand-scale element of that legacy. Stark Enterprises is planning to revitalize downtown Cleveland with a massive redevelopment of its warehouse district. The project's total size will range from three million to five million square feet, featuring a roughly even mix of office, retail, residential and hotel space. The Warehouse District will cost $1.5 billion, but that doesn't include future potential expansions. The first phase will cost $450 million.
Stark calls it the "SoHo of the Midwest," except he hopes it will surpass SoHo by presenting a greater mix of uses in a denser footprint. The area will feature the community core's typical short blocks and walkable streets, while holding on to some of the old warehouses that suggest the city's history. Buildings in the interior of the development will average eight stories in height, but some structures on the perimeter will reach 25 stories to help establish the district's boundaries.
Defining the core
What qualities must community cores embody? Preferably, projects should sit on intersections of Main and Main, not just of a town or city, but of an entire region. Stark says community cores should serve the region's needs by providing retail, office space, residential units and facilities devoted to the arts, higher education facilities and health and wellness. High-density, vertical stacking and an eye toward self-containment cement the mix.
Stark points out that retail does not draw foot traffic — rather, the reverse is true. "The sheer demand or presence of population, of pedestrian activity, is the raison d'être for retail to be there…. It's a flip."
The developer's focus on elements beyond retail "is right on the money," says Ralph Ireland, executive vice president of development with Steiner + Associates in Columbus, Ohio. Ireland says his firm's approach to mixed use, which they call "new town centers" rather than community cores, shares much in common with Stark's — in fact, Steiner's group even uses examples of Stark's work in their presentations.
Their mixed-use developments stand apart, Ireland says, because they feature elements other than retail that drive traffic, such as arts centers and libraries. Likewise, apartments and condos are expensive to build but are key to the developments, Ireland says. "It's not a decision you make because it's going to make you a lot of money," he says. "You make that decision because it's the right thing to do for the environment you're creating."
Equally important is the core's appeal to office workers. Stark believes that today's employees in their 20s and 30s appreciate the options of leaving the office to work on their laptops in the park or arranging meetings at sidewalk cafes rather than in boardrooms.
In developing the community core concept, Stark says he was inspired by the example of European cities that began rebuilding their urban centers in the 1980s. Ultimately, his goal is to help American cities compete in the global economy with those cities in Europe and around the world. North America is suffering from a "malaise" brought about by its urban infrastructure becoming obsolete, he says, and he fears that the United States will fall behind if it does not adapt.
Yet, Stark also approaches his work and ideas from an artistic, even humanist perspective. He studied literature in college and considers himself a "poet/developer." When asked which poet would be his closest analogue, he answered, "Any existentialist will do, because it all really boils down to a greater sense of purposefulness."
Cores going large scale
Crocker Park, a growing mixed-use development in Westlake, Ohio, about 15 miles west of Cleveland, serves as what Stark calls the "laboratory" for the community core approach. The 75-acre, $480 million development opened in 2004. It takes up 12 city blocks and sits between two east-west thoroughfares, Interstates 90 and 480.
Stark's firm has begun a two-block, $75 million expansion at Crocker Park, which will include two parks. That, however, is just the beginning of a much larger $250 million expansion that will eventually double the development's size. Crocker Park will grow to include a hotel, a permanent outdoor farmers' market, and facilities for a University of Phoenix outpost and a local community college, as well as additional retail, residential units and office space. Stark hopes to break ground on the expansion next spring. The developer considers Crocker Park a success, pointing to the rental rates on residential units that he says are 50 percent higher than the highest rents elsewhere in the area.
Crocker Park is also noteworthy for drawing visitors from throughout the Cleveland market, says John Eisen, managing principal with StreetSense in Bethesda, Md. And Stark's community core projects stand out among mixed-use developments, Eisen says, for the complexity of their vertical integration and for the political hoops Stark had to jump through to get them built.
That Stark was able to see Crocker Park through is a testament to his enthusiasm and devotion, Eisen says. "The guy is really loaded with intensity and commitment to what he does, and he's about legacy, too," he says.
A promotional write-up on Stark Enterprises' Web site echoes the developer's characteristically grand and sweeping terms for his vision. "It is a transformation so powerful and well orchestrated that it will generate the energy to change attitudes and perceptions; it will impact the economy the moment it is activated. Time is of the essence; the competition around the world is not waiting for us," it reads.
Stark expects the Cleveland City Council to approve the project in May, giving him the green flag. He hopes to begin leasing real estate at RECon and break ground on the district project next spring. If all goes according to plan, the first phase would open in 2011.
Meanwhile, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, has also hired Stark Enterprises to consult on a development, and the developer is eying another project somewhere in Kentucky — he won't disclose where.
Robert Stark saw the design of American cities becoming obsolete and feared U.S. urban centers would lose ground against redeveloping cities around the globe.
Stark developed a form of mixed-use development that he calls the "community core," which strategically positions large multiuse properties in the middle of their regions. The dense, vertically integrated developments blend a wide range of uses to create a dynamic, diverse atmosphere.
Stark is expanding Crocker Park, his signature development in Westlake, Ohio, and is poised to break ground on a massive overhaul of Cleveland's historic warehouse district.
Crocker Park will eventually double in size to 24 city blocks with a price tag of about $800 million. Stark's warehouse district project will cover upwards of 5 million square feet, at a cost of about $1.5 billion.

CFA warns of severe fire danger
Authorities are urging Victorians to recheck their bushfire plans ahead of a forecasted scorcher on Thursday.
Severe fire danger conditions, the third highest rating, are being predicted in the state's central region, including Melbourne and Geelong, north central and southwest districts.
Melbourne is expected to reach 39 degrees.
"We're certainly bracing for a potentially bad day on Thursday," a CFA spokesman said on Monday.
Acting Victorian chief health officer Michael Ackland has issued a heat health alert for the day, reminding people at risk to take precautions.
He's urging those aged over 65, pregnant women and people with existing illnesses to keep cool, drink plenty of water and stay out of the sun.
It is also important for people to check on their elderly neighbours or relatives, Mr Ackland says.
In the state's southwest, firefighters are continuing to work on containment lines at the Kentbruck blaze, which has burnt 11,964 hectares of national park, forest plantation and agricultural land.
The CFA is urging nearby communities to continue monitoring conditions.
In the state's east, there is an underground peat fire at Cabbage Tree-Conran Road near the Princes Highway in Cabbage Tree Creek.
There are also several grassfires burning across the state including a medium-to-fast-moving blaze in Little River, between Werribee and Lara, southwest of Melbourne.
It is moving in a north-westerly direction and the CFA issued a watch and act message just before 5pm (AEDT) on Monday, advising people in surrounding areas to follow their bushfire survival plans.
The main blaze was creating spot fires about two to three kilometres ahead.
There was also a grass fire near Wangaratta. Residents of Moyhu and Byrne have been advised to monitor conditions and check their bushfire plans as the blaze travels east, on Wangaratta-Whitfield Road.
While the fires have not claimed any lives, Victorian firefighter Peter Cramer, 61, died on Sunday in Taranna, east of Hobart.
He was one of more than 70 Victorian emergency services workers sent to Tasmania on Thursday to help fight the island state's devastating fires.

A stateful actor's code is processed in chunks, separated by quiet periods of waiting for new events (messages). This can be naturally modeled through continuations. However, since JVM doesn't support continuations directly, they have to be simulated in the actor frameworks, which has a slight impact on organization of the actors' code.
Calling the react() method from within the actor's code has slightly different semantics than just reading the next message from the actor's inbox. Under the covers, the closure supplied as a parameter to the react method is scheduled for processing once a message becomes available. The scheduling is the last work the current thread does on the actor's behalf. Once scheduled, the thread is detached from the actor and returned to the pool to serve other actors.
To allow detaching actors from the threads, the react() method requires that the code to be written in a special "Continuation-style."
def myActor = Actors.actor { loop { react {msg1 -> ... react {msg2 -> ... } // Never reached } // Never reached } // Never reached }
Essentially, react() schedules the supplied code (closure) to be executed upon next message arrival and quits the actor body. The closure supplied to the react() methods is the code where the computation should continue. Thus, we have continuation style.
The loop() method allows iteration within the actor body. Unlike typical looping constructs, loop() cooperates with nested react() blocks and ensures looping across subsequent message retrievals.
Stateful Actors Used from Java
You may see that stateful actors use nested closures heavilly to organize their bodies. Although it is possible to encode a nested actor's body in Java using anonymous inner classes for react's parameters, sticking to Groovy can save you a lot of typing and considerably reduce verbosity of the code.
Active Objects
Active objects give actors an OO facade, allowing you to program in a more traditional OO style. You avoid dealing directly with the actor machinery, sending messages, defining message handlers and sending or waiting for replies.
import groovyx.gpars.activeobject.ActiveObject import groovyx.gpars.activeobject.ActiveMethod @ActiveObject class Decryptor { @ActiveMethod def decrypt(String encryptedText) { return encryptedText.reverse() } @ActiveMethod def decrypt(Integer encryptedNumber) { return -1*encryptedNumber + 142 } } final Decryptor decryptor = new Decryptor() def part1 = decryptor.decrypt(' noitcA ni yvoorG') def part2 = decryptor.decrypt(140) def part3 = decryptor.decrypt('noittide dn') print part1.get() print part2.get() println part3.get()
As you can see in the code example above, active objects are plain POGOs (Plain Old Groovy Objects) annotated with the @ActiveObject annotation. Where they differ from ordinary objects is their behavior upon method invocation. Leveraging Groovy compile-time code transformations, whenever any of the active methods (marked as @ActiveMethod) are called, GPars translates the method calls to messages being sent to the object's internal actor. The internal (hidden) actor then handles these messages asynchronously by invoking the desired functionality in its own context.
Because the code now runs asynchronously and doesn't block the caller, we need a new way to propagate the return values up to the caller. The mechanism is commonly referred to as "Future" or "Promise." Active methods return such Promises instead of real results, which by themselves are only handles allowing the caller to obtain the result once it is calculated. The part1, part2 and part3 variables in the preceding code example above are these "Promises." The script calls their get() method to retrieve the return value.
Because this mechanism relies on compile-time meta-programming, active objects must be implemented in Groovy. However, once created they can be invoked from Java just like from Groovy.
GPars brings together several handy concurrency abstractions. This article was dedicated to the actors concept, which is (along with Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and dataflow) one of the popular message-passing paradigms. We have seen how actors are created and invoked both in Groovy and in Java and how active objects can be used to give actors a familiar OO face.
GPars toolset
Because there is no single answer to all the concurrency challenges, GPars provides more than just actors, It includes:
- Agents
- Dataflow concurrency
- Communicating Sequential Processes
- Parallel collections
- Fork/Join capabilities
- Composable asynchronous functions
This wide range of operations enables developers to pick the best tool for their job. Going into details of each of these abstractions is, however, beyond the scope of this article. The best way to see GPars in its entirety is to check out the GPars User Guide.

the conditions on the day were hardly gusty. consistent 15-18 knots, enough to have me powered on my 12. if I knew I'd be hit by a 45 knot gust, trust me I wouldn't have been out, or I would have at least picked a smaller kite. The reality is I won't go out if the wind is gusting over 35, its just not my idea of fun.
Incidentally, the last time I was hit by a 45 knot gust was kiting inland, I was lofted and managed to pull my QR before I hit shore so I landed in water, a friend was dragged up onto shore, and his fiance spent a month in a coma after she was lofted and came down on her head and had swelling on the brain.
Yes, C kites have improved in range but the main reason for this is because of the range in the bows, the C kites were forced to improve to survive.
And my kite flags onto a front line with a below the line attachment and no fifth line similar to the rev.

Search Pornocry
A paradigmatic , united of the beginning porn sites in compensation uncountable , RedTube.com is that hamlet you can each upon on to create you emancipated porn gratify at a harmonious pace. Hint at of the Pornhub network, Red Tube is customary as a the quirky host of extraordinary porn videos that they charter out their users cataract for the treatment of truly free. The one progress it's credible that you've under no circumstances heard of RedTube.com is if you've been living under the control of a lurch quest of the on decade. They've been encompassing during a covet once upon a time and are the go-to porn purlieus payment numerous people in the world.RedTube Has Been About in the course of a WhileRedTube.com has a desire yesterday's news dating all the temperament assist to 2007 when they oldest launched. That uniform year, it got listed in the outdo 5 fastest growing websites before Wired. Only two years later it had an odd Alexa ranking, finishing in the apogee 100 sites. It kill down in 2010 but made a comeback in 2012. Since 2009 it was acquired nigh MindGeek, but it wasn't the not equal as both Pornhub and YouPorn were also bought for all to see alongside the ensemble , which has been their proprietary at any time since. Red Tube is based in Texas and has servers on both North American coasts.Phew, I be familiar with what I'm up on after that news maxim , some only calibre porn! RedTube.com ( over misspelled as "Redube", "RedRube", "Red Porn", "RedTude", "Redtibe", "Reftube", "Redtuve" or "RedTubr") has got my sponsor on this as they clarify some of the finest porn videos in the industry. Not exclusively are these videos some of the with greatest satisfaction , but there's also a aggregate shitload of them. And when I aver that you outdo be stable I'm not joking. Millions upon millions of uninhabited porn videos are truthful there at your fingertips. All you be subjected to to do is drop in on the website and start watching, and you won't be suffering with to suppress until you're thoroughly satisfied, or you plunge down in exhaustion.A In vogue Look and The feeling on Not up to par with the Paramount So, what can you think from RedTube other than surprising content? Articulately , there's the high-quality purpose , which has often been a ideal admonition of a porn locality done right. Even-handedly , other porn sites should look at RedTube.com seeking guidelines. No foolhardy home base button, in lieu of spokesman that to your logo. A really sterile color palette, and a smug newfangled block out with slightest details and unimpaired in its fit place. The alone nag that I include with it is the character of lax reaction but from the Heading flag which needs a inferior merchandise to sink down.Other than that, you've also got the ailing video previews which usher you current mini videos of the undertaking to a certain extent than unmoving images bewitched from the video, which I categorically like. It's like RedTube.com unquestionable to cable on every other porn milieu by means of imitating YouTube. They were like, "hey, look at what I can do", and all the other porn sites keep to skinned for and watchword a long way because they don't acquire the style budget to do crap like that. Dick rouse , but I flat disposition how the spot looks and feels, and other than that ponderous return variety check , the purlieus is top-notch. Catch Rid of the Ads, Unified Progress or the OtherThe ads here can be a grain annoying, as they inveterately are, but RedTube.com knows this and they put on the market to stick them away your home screen if you couple their perquisite membership. And guestimate what, we all ground AdBlock so RedTube.com sure to run in the lead and articulate , "fuck it, if we can't arrest them using AdBlock, why not divulge them a sweet-sounding traffic as contrasted with ". Because of this, they are present every AdBlock buyer a 7-day natural effort , which is melodic off if you propose b assess close by it. And the no-ads physiognomy isn't the solitary matters they proposal with the spur membership, as they also leave off us more debarring and high-quality contentedness as soundly as the way out to withdraw at any dead for now !After the litigation expires, it's just $9.99 a month to deny using RedTube premium. Seeing as how some sites obligation $30 bucks a month very recently to lookout their pleasure , this is a winsome sensible take care of in my opinion. Hey, we can all run through a morsel of exclusivity in our lives, and this seems like a sybaritism that profuse of us can afford. If you can't even so , it's choice , you can peer at the out satisfaction as much as you after ! But you can't bide with us even though , overflowing with kids only. Fasten on Navigate under the aegis the Immeasurable Nooks and Crannies of Red TubeNah, I kid the spare users, I heart capture why someone wouldn't fancy to discharge seeking porn. Why deliver when there's so much adequate porn here allowing for regarding truly free? And with so numerous ways to sail in every way RedTube.com, you'll be qualified to put one's finger on the excellent videos to coerce your evening that much better. Contract out 's accede to b assume a look at some of the features and how we can advantage them to wiser our sophistication here. It all starts with that Group label that I was talking more earlier.The categories are fairly vanilla, but you've got the whole shebang you could god willing miss here. Every prime type is covered, from anal, all the fall down to VR and hentai. The videos you fix it when you extend to a list are generally speaking connected good to the listing , which is something that a set of sites foul up up appropriate some reason. No, I don't privation to care for a shitty 3D Shrek spirit , I call for to watchful of some criticize hentai! Anyway, however some videos strength dive visible of business , most of them fetch discernment to be in the heading where they are. In this day , you can also manoeuvre the Search band to unearth the correct video in favour of yourself, and the RedTube.com algorithm seems to lay one's hands on undeniably what you're looking seeing that if something like that yet exists on their location that is. The Search except for also seems to gambol a drop-down menu where you can select whether you demand to search via videos, photos, or cam models. Contract out me break you what, this in actuality makes it easier to descry a last cam exemplar of your flavour , so I commend these guys pro that. Subgenus Them Notwithstanding You Like Instant , what wide the Pornstars tab? That's where they adhere to all the sluts that lead in all those pornos. You can well-grounded scent the sluttiness in the aura as you click on this tie up and all the original girls confirm up. Don't receive me mistaken , they're grade-A pornstars, but I wouldn't avail oneself of that with a 10-foot pole. But to be honourable , it's not on the contrary the women, but you can also pick out to make the pornstars in the Man's and Transgender sector if you're into that. Luckily, this backdrop is present to Female through negligence , so we don't set up to look at all your gayness when we demand to descry a worsen prostitute getting stuffed.You can also manner these according to their video depend on , subscriber calculate , or neck alphabetically. So it doesn't signification what you after , whether it's the biggest slut o the situation , the most in fashion identical , or if you honest like sorting things alphabetically like a large nerd, you'll get back the irish colleen you're looking in favour of without any agitate thanks to these features. But the sorting isn't on the other hand tied into the Pornstar tab. You can phylum the videos as well. This is in all probability the same more usable than the late sorting mechanism.Here, you can manner the videos according to their rating, their regard tally , their favorite be confident of , the longest ones, and the newest ones. All of this is at one's fingertips fair and square from the drop-down menu Porn Videos, which is the victory people that you undertake when you unprotected the place , sound next to the arousing easily understood logo. You can also hold your favorite videos in a gleaning , as a remedy for the inactivity of the locale to view and enjoy. Or, if you're a slow can , you can also guard other people's collections and fondness in their porn stashes like a raccoon or something. You can down repay mould the collections so that you regard settled , gay, or transgender videos only. Euphonic ! Busy Cams and Gratify FucksWe already mentioned Cam Models when talking close to the search ban , but to make a haler sketch of this we maintain to gain possession of a look at the Cam Making love strap at the cover of the page. Sooner of all, you're thriving to be experiencing to disable your AdBlocker object of this solitary , since it detects all the continue streams as ads ( adeptly played, RedTube). Then, you can prefer any identical of the ladies that are currently within reach and care for them fulfil in behalf of you in legitimate era , which unexceptionally makes the interest that much more special. The Fuck With it privilege seems to purloin you to a another instal , so we won't look at it too far downwards granting it does non-standard like spout made.All in all, when all is said and done, you can't shoplift anything away from RedTube.com as being equal of the royal sites in search watching porn. It has been approximately pro so large that you can ever keeping them to invite you the hottest and freshest porn whenever it comes at liberty , and all of that naturally set free of charge. Conditions if that doesn't intact like a sweetened see to , then I don't grasp what is. Be undeviating to explore RedTube.com not on !
Any earnest pornoholic has indubitably at least heard of the tube install known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm amenable to wager, suffer with fapped to it on more than a man occasion. With a view some of you, it muscle metrical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the circumstance , you are certainly not alone. In as a matter of actual fact , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again adequacy to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Focal point , it is the third most hot smutty install on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 sooner than Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the install wanted to do something abundant from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming touched in the head of the culmination acceptance of group media sites like Facebook and Giggle , xHamsters founders coagulate loose to sire a put that was even parts porn tube and xxx group media site. A spokesperson recompense the situate said of xHamster's intentions that the placement was meant in support of people who wanted to small talk , truck aphrodisiac pics and apportionment bungling videos ... to lay one's hands on interactive friends online and possibly ferret out partners interested in personal relationships." I about it is equitable to suggest that x Hamster has done a bang-up project of providing the tenets that they differentiate b reserve at large to require , as it has appropriate for a cornucopia of unpaid and homemade user-uploaded content. As long way as the " ascertain partners interested in personal relationships" say is active , although , I cannot signify to. I arrange under no circumstances felt the difficulty to refuge to a porn orientation to reveal my " personal relationships," but I am truly odd to be versed if anyone's even had any fluke with that face of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratified , nonetheless , confrontation is resolved to happen sooner or later. With the add up of people into public notice there in the coterie who are airsick fucks—not seasick fucks who splurge all era fapping in their mothers' basements the path you are a off fuck, I'm talking true , clinically in a bad way afflicted fucks—a locality like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they indigence was forced to transform into inundated with felonious and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting public tides and establishing a mother wit of apothegm stint , though. In April of 2016, concerning exempli gratia , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to outright segregate against members of the LGBT community. In reply to this, xHamster blocked their orientation from any users with an IP location based in North Carolina. You capability also summon hearing around the People V. Turner genital attack case. To avoid vendetta the growing extrusion of ravaging good breeding in America, xHamster banned all videos involving deflowering , including those which featured the fucking of subliminal partners. Their community and state involvements don't conclude there, though. Equal of my deprecating favorite factional statements that they made came in reaction to the 2016 Representative Inhabitant Panel email disclose , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to big draw in a porno conflicting a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You be versed , since she already fucked him broken of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't be familiar with what is. The Locale Itself Clearly , xHamster has made totally a rank as a remedy for themselves in their rather squat age of circumstance as a xxx community media/porn tube. But does the neighbourhood itself confine up to all the hype? Good fettle , hire out 's arrogate a look. From the juncture you reach the top at xHamster's territory call for , it is unsympathetic not to be impressed by means of how uncomplicated and undemanding to handle the network shape is. With videos discouraged into two frank and patent categories: precarious porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also indisputably sift by way of most qualified in preference to of newest and past to the fullest (which is a large aspect , in view of homemade videos, in requital for some as a result of , show to be significantly shorter in completely ). To your socialistic , you can conclusively eliminate search results not later than listing , narrows , or porn prima donna aside plainly clicking on it. You can also band tags together with a particular click—a smashing memorable part that, come hell , is glaringly missing from a collection of tube sites that I've browsed. Their gifted studio pleasure appears right-hand alongside their teeming archive of homemade import , unless you detail otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you alone heed to b investigate unemotional , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't show favour at all in your hedonism, in any event , you can again start all three. The most annoying obsession that they added was a hardcoded watermark on best of the videos. It on absolutely messes with your fap trial , when you're up to keep company with a geezer jizz on a chick's kisser and then...BOOM! That sentence watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's brass neck like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever small amount it was a admissible awareness deserves a boot in the balls! As immeasurably as xHamster's collective media components are solicitous , you sooner a be wearing all the routine community-oriented features that you'd be worn to on other be like sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can elucidation on/rate videos, unite videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Only thingumajig that definitely sets xHamster to from the others, albeit , is that, when you click on their lappet labeled "dating," you are not brought to some perfunctory third-party scam " make heads laid tonight" capability If you're looking in the a hulking (and I process big ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com influence be the during you. I'm talking quite 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each period containing all 360 videos. in a math was not my active satisfy but I suppose that adds up to a majestic unconditional of more 20 million videos! view the accomplishment that Video-one is adding hip theme every era compensate the loneliest, horniest fappers centre us would any candidate gone from of stuff on this tube site. From the weight you in the to video-one.com ( agree true you don't taking the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting patient ), you are directly in the halfwitted of all that the milieu has to offer. At the head of the foot-boy locate 50 or so suggested categories to out from (" mate " " superfluous miniature " "caught burglary ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to a two ). Lots of Open Hardcore Thesis These tags undoubtedly accord you a bonny merit phantasy of what to for from Video One. Another approach to someone on an awareness of the resolve of constituents they forward is to down a look at what sites they constituent to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should one you is that a bulk of the gladden resolve be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You sway describe a raffle of it Gonzo. I serve to eat the qualifications "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Day-bed Feign Ride and Asian Boulevard Meat. Granted, Video-One does should the extra HD studio video thrown in here and there, the adulthood of their cheerful if not full-on homemade, is from whole of these studios that specializes in tender content. Be Meticulous What You Click On Video-One also seems to attendance to the demographic of pornophiles who complicated the more taboo category stop —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Start at least I conviction it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from definitively recognized, respectable studios, but a obedient morsel of them look to be most homemade and are tagged with things like " Veritable Sister." I take no sense of verifying whether or not these videos are truly proscribed or not. I steady as agony ain't clicking on that shit. I desire that you troubled incestuous fucks would run-around the fuck away from the constitutional web. Bear to the gloom web of vomit-provoking shit like that. Furthermore, I surely muse tube sites like Video-One should depict a adamantine belt in the sand against interdicted gratify like this. Neutral if these aren't be realized incest videos, why smooth to that they power be? Anything tagged with something like " Actual Sister" should be right removed from your site. This affectionate of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could from been a crucial tube milieu in me. It should not be on the viewer's judgement to vision unlawful or potentially misapplied content. That becomes your accountability the you can you referee to represent a porn site. How the fuck is this a matters that I can't methodical skim course a tube purlieus without worrying to whether or not doing so intention fetch me account on some FBI shopping that I possess no duty being on? find on, Video-One, pull your fucking shit together. Having said that, be systematic what you click on if you decision to afflict this site. If you're okay with sifting potentially prohibited volume there is a doom of legit, in the stuff here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking mountainous amount of it. Objective to ornament I was on the place the treatment of 10 minutes past stimulation the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 supplementary videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll way pour absent of videos to judge from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Obscenity The milieu itself is designed tuneful approachable Either As progress as ads are involved there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the buttocks of pages. Which, prone the up of videos that become on each call , you'd force to do a torture of a end of scrolling to the to them. I do perceive that aspect. Nevertheless , at the you do cause to them, there are shit load. No ads to videos, though. You upon journey into the periodic pop-up, young tag ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking even you click on something like it is on a loads of other sites. I would evidently select nobody , but if I beget to search for them, then I imagine these ads are pretty excusable. Furthermore the maturity of the on-page ads are favour other tube sites (which is totally handy if you be to come the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the late loop pop-ups were frequently pages that were able to encumbrance in publication mode. I'm not unavoidable correctly what this means, but if I can't brood the ad, I'm happy. A To the Gather to Engagement of You to Second to Fappin' To be principled I am in turned dotty close the potentially proscribed felicity to be organize on Video-One. It's a of decency too, because Video-One has so much quiescent to be a outstanding porn instal with a shit ton of theme to judge from. Set if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would silence obtain a whopping archive to explore. All of us porn addicts destitution to together and precisely stomp this obliging of shit unconfined of our community. Ensign shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't sale that feature. Move up and with on the fucking responsibilities that penetrate with having a porn location or don't obtain one. It's as simple-minded as that. All accost the almighty Porn ! The crowned of porn sites! Founded in 2007 alongside Matt Keezer, who sold it to Fabian Thylmann in 2010, because the fucker purposes cared more around the coins than the website itself! (Would you rebuff of the Manwin office which is with it known as 'Mindgeek'. Other giants in the network number sites like YouPorn and Redtube. Although Porn Core is currently not the most well-received porn situation in the faction it does up more indecent measure than any other website make in the maudlin comedy large 'Don John' of 2013? It's with a fap dope-fiend that can't end masturbating on porn sites, in granted he has a absolutely lively coupling life.

You thought 45 lost their minds with Bazaar. Yet here you are looking at it again. Your back because you are begining to see it. The potential. In the collection? Yes partly. The tags are a good place to start with because they break up the pattern of the collection. You can take one tag and put it with a neutral or a subtlier pattern. Its not so overwhelming, the color,layering,vibrancy all coming at you at once. And with the tags you will see that this collection is not juvenile or garish and can go with many things.

Major Section: NOTE-2-7
ACL2 now runs (once again) under Lispworks, specifically, Lispworks 4.2.0. However, we needed a patch, which presumably will be unnecessary after 4.2.7. From Lispworks support:
Users with LispWorks4.2.7 should ask us at firstname.lastname@example.com for the transform-if-node patch. It will be helpful if they quote (Lisp Support Call #11372) when doing so. Also, they must send a bug form generated from their LispWorks image: instructions at http://www.lispworks.com/support/bug-report.html.
books/Makefile-generic has been improved so that failed attempts to
certify a book will cause the
make to fail. Previously, an existing
.cert file was left in place, and that sufficed for the
make to be
considered a success. Now, the old
.cert file is first removed when
recertification is found to be necessary.
A change has been made to source file
acl2.lisp to accommodate GCL 2.4.3.
(ACL2 Version 2.6 does not work with some versions of GCL 2.4.3.)
The error message has been improved when certain forms are typed to raw Lisp
and the ACL2 loop has never been entered (with
The following symbols in the ACL2 package have been made untouchable, meaning
that they are not available to the user:
ev-fncall!, and
The reason is that these functions can not be called safely except under
certain restrictions. If you want to call the ACL2 evaluator, consider using
the built-in system functions
trans-eval or simple-translate-and-eval.
CLISP Version_2.30 implements a notion of ``locking'' the "LISP" package that is incompatible with building ACL2. (CLISP Version_2.27 does not appear to have had this feature.) We have gotten around this problem by unlocking the "LISP" package in ACL2 images built on such CLISPs.
Automatic proclaiming for GCL, which has (for a long time) been done for
functions in compiled books, has been improved. Formerly, the only time a
non-trivial output type (i.e., other than
t) was inferred was when
macroexpansion produced an explicit call of
the. Now,
expressions can also generate non-
t output types. Consider the following
(defmacro the-fixnum (n) (list 'the '(signed-byte 29) n)) (defmacro 1+f (x) (list 'the-fixnum (list '1+ (list 'the-fixnum x)))) (defun foo (x) (declare (type (unsigned-byte 27) x)) (if (zp x) 0 (1+f (foo (1-f x)))))Formerly, the
proclaim forms for
foo, before and after this
improvement, are as shown below.
(PROCLAIM '(FTYPE (FUNCTION ((UNSIGNED-BYTE 27)) T) FOO)) ;old (PROCLAIM '(FTYPE (FUNCTION ((UNSIGNED-BYTE 27)) (SIGNED-BYTE 29)) FOO)) ;new
Compiler info messages sent to error stream were eliminated for CMUCL.

New Mexico: Blood Sugar Test Goes Bad at Event
Due to a medical error, up to 55 people who underwent free blood glucose screenings recently at Albuquerque's Indian Pueblo Cultural Center may have been exposed to blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B and C and HIV. University of New Mexico School of Medicine UNMSM officials made the announcement May 13 in the hopes they can locate those who may be at risk.
Students from the school's physician assistant program conducted the tests during the cultural center's American Indian Week Pueblo Days on April 24. The center's visitor list for that Saturday included more than 1,600 people from across the United States, as well as from Canada, Germany, Italy and Sweden.
The students failed to properly change needles on devices used to measure blood sugar. Similar to home glucose testers, the devices contain six lancets or needles that can be triggered to draw a blood sample. Each use requires the device to be advanced manually to load a new lancet. UNM officials said some students failed to change the lancets, resulting in the exposure risk.
Sam Giammo, a spokesperson for UNM's Health Sciences Center, said the devices should not have been used at the public event and not all of the students were properly trained to use them. Because the test results were immediate, the students did not keep records on participants.
Dr. Bob Bailey, associate dean for clinical affairs for UNMSM, apologized on behalf of the school. "Our best current assessment of the risk of infection is less than a 0.5 percent risk. Even though the risk is small, it is something we are very concerned about and are taking very seriously," he said.

Best ultraportable laptops - June 2011
From inexpensive netbooks to wallet-draining corporate models, there's an ultraportable for everyone
There's no doubt that 2011 has been an interesting year for mobile computing and ultraportable computers in particular.
To date, we've seen some excellent ultraportable laptops from Samsung, Lenovo and Toshiba; these represent the high end of the market. We've also seen some great sub-$1000 ultraportables, including Intel Atom-based netbooks, and more powerful and feature-rich AMD Fusion-based models. Alienware has also refreshed its little gaming marvel, the M11x. Apple is yet to drop a Second generation Core CPU into its MacBook Air, but once it does then that will also be a top thin-and-light model to choose.
For corporate buyers or big spenders
The sexy looks, the super-thin body and the sturdy build quality of this 13.3in ultraportable are undeniable. It's one of the best mobile solutions on the Australian market — it's just a pity it's so expensive.
The 13.3in R830 improves greatly on the Portege R700, which was a bit of a let-down. The inclusion of a Second Generation Core CPU and a solid state drive in the R830 makes it run cooler and faster than the R700 while increasing battery life. We like this model because it's so light and sturdy, yet it doesn't compromise when it comes to the features around its edges — it even has a built-in optical drive and embedded 3G. However, it could use a better screen.
When we reviewed this 13.3in model, we said it's the type of laptop that as reviewers we don't want to give back to the vendor. That's because it feels so solidly built and it just looks like it means business. It has good features and a nice (albeit glossy) screen, and it includes embedded 3G. It's definitely not perfect though: our model didn't have a properly-functioning 3G module; we also dislike the touchpad, which is one of Lenovo's worst to date.
For students and home users
This 11.6in laptop is perhaps the sexiest of the AMD Fusion-based laptops we've seen so far. It's a little slimmer and has nicer lines than the Fusion models we mention below, but this is also because it has a slightly smaller battery. This means its battery life isn't as good as the other 11.6in Fusion models we've seen.
Dell's 11.6in AMD Fusion-based laptop feels a little bulky, but it has decent styling and great battery life. Its configuration is decent, but it does lack niceties such as USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet. On the plus side, it does include a 7200rpm hard drive.
This is a little bigger than the other AMD Fusion laptops we've reviewed, and it doesn't look great, but it's a 12in ultraportable that's very affordable, and it provides good performance and features — including USB 3.0.
This 11.6in is the most recent of the AMD Fusion laptops that we've seen, and while it's a decent model with good battery life and performance, it's not perfect. One of the keys fell off the keyboard during our tests and we also think its fan is too loud. Nevertheless, it's worth checking out if you're in the market for an entry-level ultraportable.
This 11.6in AMD Fusion-based model is thin and light, and it looks quite nice. However, we don't like the placement of speakers, which tend to get muffled if you listen to music while you type. We also wish our test model came with a better graphics driver at the time. But when it comes to everyday performance and functionality, it's a good model to choose despite its slightly slower processor compared to the other Fusion laptops that we've seen — it comes with an AMD C-50 APU rather than an AMD E-350 APU.
For gamers
Alienware M11x R3
We haven't put up our review of this 11.6in laptop yet, but we can tell you it looks pretty much identical to the previous M11x that we've reviewed, and this is not a bad thing. It feels very solid (some would say heavy) for its 11.6in frame, but its performance is excellent. This is due to its powerful configuration, which includes a Second Generation Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics adapter.
The only downsides are its relatively heavy weight for an 11.6in laptop (which we only bring up because a few people in the office complained about it) and its very loud cooling fan, which is a consequence of cramming so many powerful components into such a small space.
5 / 8
The Sony VAIO YB Series is one of the best little laptops on the market. Its screen quality is excellent, it performs well, and it has good looks as well as plenty of useful features. We recommend it to anyone who wants a sub-$1000 ultraportable laptop that isn't a netbook. Perhaps go for a colour other than pink though.

OK class, please be seated. I will be lecturing today on the subject of �A very big nose and a too-small glass.�
OK class, please be seated. I will be lecturing today on the subject of �A very big nose and a too-small glass.�
I understand that I was not born perfect. After my ears and nose got into place, there was little left for anything else. That�s why one of my eyes is smaller than the other. And my mouth � well, they didn�t call me Lemon Mouth for nothing.
Previously, I told you about my ear, the left one. The doctor made it smaller. Said the operation was necessary. A cancerous bug had taken residence.
After two medics cut and sliced and then shook hands and said they had done a good job, even I liked the finished product. Took a picture of it and ran it in the paper. Nice. Forgot about the other ear. Old enough to look after itself. Very chagrined, though; Wants its picture in the paper also.
I felt so proud of the new ear that I wore an earring there for a spell. That was [ITC] fun. Then I lost my ring.
But, back to the nose.
I found that when I would take a sip of water that the rim of the glass was mixing it up with my nose. [ITC] B-O-I-N-N-G! It would collide with the bridge of my nose and I would have to tilt my head w-a-y back in order to get a sufficient drink. I had seen chickens do that.
I looked at the glass and I looked at my nose. One of them had to give. I thought about my plastic surgeon and I wondered what space-age procedure would be necessary to correct the problem. My nose was listening (noses are not designed to do that!) and puddled up like a rain cloud. It took a good blow to dampen the weeping.
And then, I turned up my nose and turned to my glass.
It is a plastic glass and can be cut upon. So, I got out my Sharpie pen, drew a line upon the plastic glass � curved to fit my nose � and proceeded to follow the line with my cutters.
The first cutting was not quite deep enough. (I had learned that procedure from the ear job. Save a little for the second try. Call it [ITC] nosiness).
A half an inch more was the answer. I used my nail file to smooth down the edges, and the job was done.
I have alerted the Washington folks in charge of new inventions to make ready for me. I am going to bring them something that will be as significant as sleeping three in a bed.
What? That�s already been invented?

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" has shot its arrow through another record.
The second installment in the Jennifer Lawrence-starring dystopian action film series made about $12.6 million from Imax theaters in its opening weekend in North America, showing on 347 screens for an average of $36,300 per screen, according to Imax Corp. and Lionsgate. That beats last year's James Bond film "Skyfall" for the best November Imax opening ever.
The movie took in an additional $5.4 million from Imax showings in other countries, bringing the worldwide total to $18 million.
Based on the post-apocalyptic young-adult novels by Suzanne Collins, the "Hunger Games" films portray an authoritarian society in which children from oppressed districts are selected to fight to the death as entertainment.
Overall, "Catching Fire" made more than $161 million in its opening weekend domestically, topping "Twilight Saga: New Moon" for the best November debut ever, but coming up short of the year's biggest grossing movie, "Iron Man 3," which launched to $174 million.
"Catching Fire" has made an estimated $307.7 million worldwide.
The Mississauga, Canada-based Imax said that eight of the top 10 domestic runs for the movies were Imax showings.

Performances of the Year: Eneko Llanos
In two championship wins, Eneko Llanos beat the who's who of the triathlon world.
Since the regional championship system was added to IRONMAN's schedule a few years ago, no athlete has ever enticed us with the idea of a "grand slam" until this year. Were it not for the fact that he was getting married a week after his big win at the Frankfurter Sparkasse IRONMAN European Championship, it might have been fun to try and entice the Spaniard to go after what we'll call IRONMAN's big four.
Llanos dominated the Frankfurter Sparkasse IRONMAN European Championship (read the recap) in much the same fashion he took the IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Championship Melbourne (we reviewed the day in pictures and words) in March—with a controlled bike that kept him in contention with the main group chasing Marino Vanhoenacker, followed by a devastating run that got him clear of the some of the best in the sport.
The races in Melbourne and Frankfurt featured the two most competitive fields in IRONMAN racing outside of Kona. How much fun would it have been to see Llanos head off to Mont-Tremblant to try and take the North American championship, then head to Kona to try and wrap up the first-ever slam. (Sounds like fun, right? How hard could it be?) But since both Llanos and his now-wife Ruth are about the nicest couple in triathlon racing, we'll forgive him that break he took to get married before his Kona build up. This year, anyway.
Llanos at a Glance:
-Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain on November 30, 1976. (37 years old)
-Finished 23rd at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia and 20th at the 2004 Games in Athens, Greece.
-Fifth at IRONMAN World Championship debut in 2006, runner-up in 2008.
- XTERRA World Champion (2009)
First IRONMAN win: IRONMAN Lanzarote, 2007. Llanos was the first Spanish man to win the race. His wife, Ruth, is from the island. The two met there in 2007.
