Happy Hanukkah–The Best Latkes are Your Very Own
A few years ago my friend Shari and I decided to pool our latke-making skills and begin what has become our neighborhood tradition of "Shari and Jane's Latke Party." All our friends look forward to this. Having been taught by "the master" (my mom) I thought my latkes were pretty good—potato taste with just the right amount of crisp. What I didn't expect was that there was an aspect to what made a great latke: it's even edges.
When Shari (in white shirt) came to my house our first year, with her pans of latkes to stick in my large freezer, I was kind of amazed and perplexed. Her latkes definitely were much prettier then mine! I had prided myself on the funky, jagged edges of mine (maybe how I see myself with my funky curly hair? But her hair is even curlier then mine!). Whatever the reason, I took on the challenge to see if I could "clean up" my latkes and see if I could make them prettier. I have succeeded to some extent. Shari taught me that the key is to compress them onto a large spoon and glide them off the spoon into the oil then press them gently. It has definitely made a difference.
But the interesting thing about this is that I realized that we all cook our latkes differently—loose, tight, with sour cream on the side, without, with onion, without, etc. But in the end they are all yummy and do the job. To me, the most important part is that we are making them ourselves, from scratch.
Just before Thanksgiving, Sherry (Challah Connection Director of Customer Service) came to work looking forlorn. Her mother in law was visiting and had asked Sherry if she had any jobs for her while Sherry was at work. Sherry asked her if she would make 4 dozen latkes—"No" was the answer (actually—it was a tall order). When I asked Sherry why she was so upset by that, she confessed to me that she had never made latkes and was actually a bit intimidated by the process. I was fairly surprised since she and her daughters are great cooks who make lots of ambitious recipes. I offered my extra large pan and gave her a pep talk: I knew she could do it. Sure enough, Monday after Thanksgiving she came to work with a new confidence about her—her aura was different. She had conquered her latke fear and made 4 dozen perfect latkes!
Tomorrow night, we will be going to my parents' house for a pre-Hanukkah party while my brother and his 4 kids who live in Israel will be visiting. My 17-year old, Harry, will be manning the latke pan while the rest of us admire his work and pop them in our greedy mouths. Whatever shape your latkes are, I know they will be great and you'll be so proud that you made them yourself!
Happy frying and here is Shari's recipe. By the way, we have a perfect apron for the occasion: our chic latke apron.
Grandma Anne's Latkes
Simple, but the best traditional latkes. She always threw in a little of this and a little of that, but when pushed for exact quantities, here's what I got-and they are delicious!
For a crowd-serves about 12
15 big white potatoes of your choice
3 large or 4 medium brown or yellow onions
6 large eggs
1 cup flour or matzo meal
3 tbl salt
1 ½ tbl white pepper
-Peel potatoes and place in cold water to retain color
-Grate onions and potatoes in batches, squeezing out and draining excess water as you go, but don't take out the water from the last batch
-Add the eggs and mix
-Add flour, salt and pepper and mix well
-To cook the latkes, drop large spoonfuls into a pan of ¼ inch of very hot oil. Using the spoon, quickly and gently press the potato mixture to form a flat oval shape, then loosen from the bottom if it sticks slightly. Turn once, cooking until each side is golden brown. Remove to drain on a baking sheet covered in paper towels
-Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree oven
-To make ahead, freeze latkes in a single layer, then place frozen pancakes in a plastic freezer bag. To reheat, place on a cookie sheet in a single layer and heat for 7 minutes at 375 degrees

SW Man Charged with Abandoning Corpse in Mo. Lake
WARSAW, Mo. - A southwest Missouri man has been charged with abandoning a corpse after a woman told investigators she saw him wrapping up a girl's body and placing it in the trunk of his car.
Anthony James Balbirnie was arrested Monday after a chase that began around 5:30 p.m. in Greene County and ended in Dallas County. The charge was filed Sunday in Benton County but didn't show up in online records until later.
The 47-year-old Springfield man is accused of dumping the body of 15-year-old Khighla Parks, of Willard, into Truman Lake near Warsaw.
Khighla was reported missing Sept. 20 after walking away from her grandparents' home. Fishermen found her body in the lake 10 days later.
Court documents say Balbirnie told a woman he was taking the body to Warsaw.

Big names pushed hard on opening day in Moscow
The reigning FIVB Beach Volleyball men's world champions Robert Meeuwsen and Alexander Brouwer were pushed hard in their opener, while the returning Juliana Felisberta and Maria Antonelli defeated fellow Brazilians and fourth seeds Maria-Clara and Carolina Salgado.
However, Russia's leading male team, Konstantin Semenov and Viacheslav Krasilnikov and female duo, Evgenia Ukolova and Maria Prokopeva ended the day unbeaten.
By the end of the day the women's pools had taken shape after two matches, with the first and second seeds Talita Antunes and Taiana Lima and April Ross and Kerri Walsh winning twice. Both men and women complete pool play on Friday, with the men playing twice and the women once.
World champs pushed hard by US qualifiers in Moscow
World champions Meeuwsen and Brouwer were pushed all the way by US qualifiers John Hyden and Tri Bourne before winning 2-1 (19-21, 21-15, 18-16) in 56 minutes.
Meeuwsen and Brouwer were the shock victors and completely surpassed their best result when they won the 2013 World Championships.
This season their progress has been hampered by a knee injury to Meeuwsen. However, with the 206cm blocker close to full fitness they are beginning to look forward to the rest of 2014 in a positive manner.
"The only thing missing is a lack of rhythm and a lack of practice, but it is getting better every day and we are fighting harder every day," Meeuwsen said." Every ball touch is good, so the more the better and mentally this match was good too, we had to fight to win."
Brazil pair taking steps in the right direction in Moscow
Maria Antonelli and Juliana may only be in their first season together on the World Tour, but on Thursday they gave a glimpse of their potential as a pair.
The Brazilians began with a 2-0 (21-19, 21-16) win over their compatriots and 2013 Moscow gold medallists Maria-Clara and Carolina Salgado and they then followed up with a hard-fought 2-1 (21-17, 19-21, 15-12) victory against newly-crowned CEV European champions Madelein Meppelink and Marleen Van Iersel of the Netherlands.
Juliana is returning after missing the 2013 season and the pair won silver medals at the 2014 Fuzhou Open in China and the Puerto Vallarta Open in Mexico.
"Juliana is very happy and she talks a lot during the matches," Maria Antonelli said. "She talked a lot today and knows what she is talking about. It is our first World Tour together and we are enjoying it a lot."
"I'm enjoying playing again," Juliana added. "I'm starting as part of a new team and I love playing with her. I expect to play well and to have to work a lot. We feel good about it and we are taking it step by step."
The double-gender US$800,000 FIVB Moscow Grand Slam runs from Wednesday, June 11 through to Sunday June 15. It is the sixth event and the second Grand Slam on the 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar that features nine Grand Slams and 11 Open tournaments.
The 2014 World Tour began at the Fuzhou Open in China in April and concludes at the Durban Open in South Africa in December. Next up on the World Tour calendar is the Berlin Grand Slam which runs from June 17-22.

Moose Skowron
Five-time World Series champion
Moose Skowron, 81, a five-time World Series champion with the New York Yankees and the Dodgers and one of only two players to hit three home runs in the seventh games of World Series, died Friday of congestive heart failureat a hospital in Arlington Heights, Ill. He also had lung cancer.
Skowron became a star as a first baseman for the Yankees and went on to appear in eight All-Star games. After his playing career ended, he returned to his native Chicago and had worked for the White Sox since 1999 in the team's community relations department.
For the Record, 11:48 a.m. April 28: A photo caption with an earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the photo was taken in 1959.
Skowron helped the Yankees win four titles from 1954 to 1962, then won a fifth championship with the Dodgers in the first season after he was traded for Stan Williams. He hit .282 in 14 major league seasons with 211 home runs and 888 RBIs, also spending time with the expansion Washington Senators (1964), the White Sox (1964-67) and the Angels (1967). He was an All-Star from 1957 to '61, appearing in both games in 1959 and 1960, then was picked one final time in 1965.
One of his Yankee teammates was catcher Yogi Berra, the only other player with three Game 7 homers in the Series.
Born William Joseph Skowron on Dec. 18, 1930, on Chicago's North Side, he said he was given the nickname Moose when he was 7 after his grandfather gave him a haircut that caused friends to call him "Mussolini" — after the Italian fascist leader. The nickname was shortened to Moose.
After attending Purdue on a football scholarship, he signed with the Yankees.
Pete Fornatale
New York City disc jockey with free-form style
Pete Fornatale, 66, a New York City radio disc jockey who promoted his favorite rock musicians for decades in a free-form style, died Thursday in New York a week after suffering a stroke, according to his son, Peter Thomas Fornatale.
As a DJ on WNEW-FM beginning in 1969, Fornatale established a loyal following by spinning records by lesser-known artists and album cuts beyond the hit singles.
One of his favorites was Poco, a country-rock band he championed. He helped launch the careers of singer-songwriters like Suzanne Vega, John Gorka and Christine Lavin.
"It's a very sad day for radio," said songwriter Paul Simon. "New York has lost one of its most acclaimed and wonderful radio personalities.... He really knew his era and his music."
The Bronx native was a Fordham University student DJ in the mid-1960s when he developed his style of progressive FM broadcasting.
"The complete freedom to put this package together, for better or for worse, stamped me then and is still with me today," Fornatale said in 2001.
Until his death, he had hosted the show "Mixed Bag" on Saturdays for Fordham's WFUV-FM station.
He and his son also worked on a book celebrating the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary that they finished just before Fornatale's death, titled "50 Licks," to be published later this year or in early 2013. The DJ also wrote "Bookends," the story of the Simon & Garfunkel album by that title.

Obama's Commerce plan left on shelf
Last January, President Barack Obama laid out a sweeping plan in an East Room ceremony to eliminate the Commerce Department and replace it with a more agile agency to lead on commerce and trade issues.
A week before the election last November, he went further, calling for a "Secretary of Business" to lead a "one-stop shop" that would help companies get loans and deal with trade issues.
Story Continued Below
On Thursday, Obama nominated Penny Pritzker to be his new commerce secretary, hoping his 2008 campaign's finance chairwoman will be confirmed for the job he has left open for nearly a year. Though there's nothing unusual about a president putting a longtime friend and political ally at commerce, Obama's far from delivering on those big promises of rethinking and revamping an agency that's key to the still-struggling economy.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama picks Pritzker, Froman)
For all the warm things Obama had to say about Pritzker as he announced her as his pick in the Rose Garden, he didn't even mention his plan to consolidate the business functions of the Commerce Department, the Small Business Administration and all the agencies that deal with trade into a new department. And though he talked about Pritzker's ability to improve government-business relations, the words "Secretary of Business" didn't cross his lips.
"I think the administration decided it's not a priority," said Bill Daley, Obama's former White House chief of staff and a commerce secretary under Bill Clinton, who helped formulate the reorganization plan. He has worked with Pritzker in Chicago and says she has "all the attributes" to do the job well, but he doesn't anticipate the 2012 plan to be on her agenda.
Former Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), who was nominated and then withdrew as Obama's commerce nominee in 2009, said he supports consolidating responsibility for trade issues. But despite all the conversation about doing so, he said he didn't know enough about Pritzker or the president's new nominee for U.S. trade representative, Michael Froman, to say whether either would be the right person to lead that effort.
( PHOTOS: Obama's second-term Cabinet)
Though Pritzker was a major Obama fundraiser in 2008, Gregg said he doesn't know whether she has the "personal confidence with the president for her to be in the room when high-level conversations are happening and decisions are being made." Others say she will have the president's ear but thatit's unclear how that will fit into the West Wing's decision-making structure.
Mickey Kantor, a former trade representative and commerce secretary who worked with Froman during the Clinton administration, said Froman's nomination for USTR — over rumored candidate Jeff Zients, who led the effort to formulate the reorganization plan — signals that the administration is backing away from its efforts to eliminate the independent trade office.
( PODCAST: Obama's second term setbacks, South Carolina slugfest)
Froman "knows the history and role of the USTR, and will use that to lead trade and offer direction to other agencies," said Kantor, who's never seen the reorganization plan as a wise move.
"I don't think there's going to be any merger or absorption of USTR into commerce," Kantor added. With the Trans-Pacific Partnership under way and talks on a trade deal with the European Union in the early stages, "there are many more important things to worry about in the trade arena."

UPDATE: Baltimore police say they have charged a 20-year-old Washington man in the shooting Friday at Morgan State University.
Keith Robertson, of the 4900 block of G St. SE, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, assault and handgun charges, according to the department. Police said he provided a confession in the afternoon incident that wounded a student on the semester's last day of classes.
The man injured in the incident is Tyrell Okoro, a 20-year-old member of the football team from Queens New York, said Morgan spokesman Clinton R. Coleman Jr. Okoro is a sophomore offensive lineman, according to the university's website.
Coleman said that Robertson is not a student at Morgan and university officials are trying to figure out why he was on campus.
"It is something we are aggressively pursuing, Coleman said.
He said Morgan president David Wilson has been meeting with students and walking the campus to provide reassurance. The university is looking into what more it can do to make the university safer, Coleman said.
Students fanned out in panic on the south side of campus outside the Clarence W. Blount Towers and the Thurgood Marshall complex just before 1 p.m., running through the dormitory courtyard after hearing a number of shots.
Freshman Monique King said she was walking between classes when she saw a member of the football team fall to the ground.
"I was on the phone with my mother, and she was kind of frantic," said King, who watched a teammate take off the victim's shirt and apply pressure to his wounded leg until paramedics arrived.
Baltimore police took Robertson into custody as a "person of interest" not long after arriving on campus. The university said before Robertson was identified by name that the person taken in by police was not a Morgan student.
Police also recovered a semiautomatic handgun in the vicinity. A number of people described by police as witnesses were handcuffed and had white bags placed over their hands to preserve possible gunshot residue, police said.
"It looks as if it grew from a dispute between two individuals," university spokesman Clint Coleman said, "and that dispute resulted in one person being shot."
The shooting victim, who was not identified by police or the university, was taken to an area hospital. His injuries were not considered life-threatening, Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Saturday morning, the department said in a statement that the victim is 19, and suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his torso.
The shooting is the third high-profile act of violence related to the university this year.
Michael Antonio Campbell, a 19-year-old who was not a Morgan student, was shot in the campus student center in September while visiting his cousin, a member of the school's football team. Police charged a 20-year-old Northeast Baltimore resident, Kelly Lamont Ellerbee, in that shooting; he will be arraigned next month on nine charges, including attempted first- and second-degree murder.
University spokesman Jarrett Carter said Friday's shooting is unrelated to that incident.
In May, a 21-year-old Morgan student was accused of killing and dismembering a man living in Harford County, allegedly eating parts of his heart and brain.
That student, Alexander Kinyua, is being held at a psychiatric facility after being found not fit to stand trial. He had acted erratically on campus in the months leading up to the killing, and had been charged with attacking a fellow student.
Both Guglielmi and Carter stressed that the university is secure despite the incidents. Campus and city police have drilled together on shooting scenarios since a gunman killed his mother and himself at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2010, Guglielmi said.
In a message to the university community, President David Wilson wrote that steps have been taken to keep the campus safe. "We have hired additional police officers and security guards for our evening and night shifts and deployed them at strategic locations throughout the campus, implemented an anonymous tip-line allowing students, faculty and staff to report suspicious activity on and around the campus, and we continue our educational campaigns to promote individual responsibility and collective common sense about crime prevention strategies and best practices."
Wilson also noted that "all exams will continue as scheduled and I have asked the Division of Academic Affairs to provide accommodations to any students adversely affected by today's incident."
City police officers arrived on the scene quickly, led by Capt. Rick Rutherford. A former SWAT lieutenant trained to handle "active shooter" situations, Rutherford is the deputy commander of the Northeastern District police station — which is adjacent to the campus.
Carter said students were notified through a campus-wide text messaging alert system, emails, Twitter posts and the school's website to stay indoors and lock their doors. He said Morgan has been stressing safety all year through its "See Something, Say Something" campaign, which urges students to text or call in suspicious activity.
"I absolutely believe we're where campus security needs to be," Carter said.
Many students seemed more frustrated than scared at the violence on campus.
"I'm very disappointed to hear the news," said Christian Smooth, 22. "Another bad story at Morgan."
Morgan has also been struggling with a rise in robberies, something the university acknowledged just a day earlier in a public safety update to students. The update said patrols were increased on and around campus after armed robbers held up a student outside Holmes Hall. Later Thursday night, police arrested a person fitting the description of one of the suspects and found him illegally in possession of a handgun.
"We're definitely trying to move up as a campus and develop ourselves as a community, and hopefully people will think this is not the norm," sophomore electrical engineering major Khir Henderson said.
Elaine Smith said city police were overreacting. Her son, a sophomore, was taken into custody as a witness, she said, and she stood outside crime scene tape on Friday asking detectives and officers about him. A detective confirmed to her that he was not a suspect or victim, but no one could tell her where he was.
"I just want to know where my son is at," she said. "They done stormed his dorm. He shot nobody."
Just before 4 p.m., police began winding up crime tape that had cordoned off dorms for several hours, allowing students back in to begin preparing for final exams.
"It's the last day of classes and finals are next week," said sophomore Cavon Caudle, 18. "It's just hard to focus on what we should be focusing on."
Baltimore Sun reporters Childs Walker, Ian Duncan and Brian Waters contributed to this article.

Sex With A Gorgeous Giantess
He had always had a giantess fetish, but Michael could hardly believe that he was finally with one! He pressed his hands against Donna's massive breasts, pushing them closer together so he could lick and kiss her nipples side by side, his lips and tongue dragging across her soft skin as he sucked one berry red nipple then the next. His gorgeous giantess was so much larger than him that he was practically balanced on top of her, his knees barely brushing the mattress between her thighs. He wasn't able to brace himself with his knees, so he softly rocked his hips, his cock barely pushing in and out of her sopping wet pussy, grinding himself against her clit while her walls squeezed him tight. He wanted to orgasm inside her, wanted to watch his cum leak out of her to soak into the sheets! Got your own fantasy? Call me to tell it all to me during some giantess kink phone sex!

Night Terror
You could still here it. The loud thump as her footsteps made contact with the earth behind you. The pain in your side was becoming more intense. With each faltering step the burning inside your lungs was almost to the point where you couldn't stand it anymore. Just as you were about to get away the dream took a horribly wrong turn. Now, in your bed, you pulled the blanket tightly over your head. Fear was running though you and you kept trying to wake up. However, each time you tried to open your eyes they stayed shut so that the nightmare could continue. Your bedroom window exploded open, a delicate strong hand reached in and yanked you from the bed. You were trying to scream but nothing would come out. You found yourself being hoisted into the air by a giantess. She looked at you smiling. It wasn't a happy smile at all, it was a more menacing smile. You tried with all your might to wiggle away only to find that it was useless. She placed you in her pocket then started to walk away from your home. Your dream jumped again. The cage smelled of rust and damp. You could see all three of them drinking tea as they talked to each other. Your eyes followed the length of their crossed legs and found yourself getting hard. One stood up to tend the fire. As she bent over the curves of her ass almost sent you over the edge. You were rock hard but terrified. She turned and saw you. The other two turned too as all went quiet. The humiliation you suffered serving them made tears run from your eyes. The things they made you do, how they dressed you, how they made sure you never had a orgasm even though they teased you with their beautiful bodies was pure torture. You watched what they did to others, helpless to do anything about it. Even though their screams were not real you would find that even when you woke up those screams would linger in your mind forever. All of a sudden your alarm clock was going off, you awoke drenched in sweat. You looked at your bedroom window to see that it was still in tact. As you showered you tried to forget the dream but your cock wouldn't let you. It was stiff and it wanted to remember. You always have had a thing for milf sex but not like this! However, you came harder than you ever had before as the hot water ran down your skin and you wondered if the next dream you would find your way between her legs. Ready

Amazon Sorority
Sam hated having to go to his sister's sorority house but here he was, having been dragged to yet another celebration for her seemingly constant volleyball wins. That was the other thing he hated, at 5'7" he wasn't tall by any means but never felt so diminutive at he did surrounded by the sexy amazons that were her teammates.

Shoved Inside A Giantess Ass!
Timothy couldn't believe that his giantess fantasy was getting played out like this! Donna's massive fingers pushed down even harder against his head, and for a few seconds it felt like the pressure was going to cave his skull in, before her asshole gave just enough for his body to slide right inside. He felt like he was being swallowed by her ass, his face close enough that he could have rested it against the puckered-up ring of muscle. He could barely wiggle his fingers, much less his arms and legs, and he swore the smell was seeping into his skin! He was already starting to panic when Donna squeezed her ass around him, and it felt like he was going to be crushed if she kept it up! His body jerked up and down with the squeeze and release of her muscles, nearly popping out then getting sucked back inside so hard that it felt like he was being thrown around. Worse part was how hard his cock still was with everything going on the way it was! Sound like your good time? Call me for your giantess vore phone sex.

My Boy Friends Fetish Wish Came True
Well, once again, My girl is mad at me. I only wanted a little fun. How was I supposed to know the guy in the funny pajamas was really a genie like he said and could really grant wishes? Well, the first thing I did was to wish myself small – see, I have always had fantasies of being in love with a woman who is extremely large – not just Amazon, but giantess. Stroking such large feet, playing on boobs large enough to climb …. oh my. And a slit large enough to crawl into …. being totally bodily enveloped in it …. I can almost orgasm just thinking about it. So I wished myself tiny to achieve this. Only I didn't count on a few things. For one, the cat became very interested in me. For another, I could no longer wear or handle anything, as everything was far too big for me now. And when I tried to hide out on the mouse hole – well, you've never seen what those cute little furry things look like if they are bigger than you. When I got caught in the spider web, I had to use the second wish to undo the first. I never told my girlfriend, about the escapade, or the third unused wish. One night, we both got a little drunk and were discussing our giantess fantasies. And without thinking about how I was wording it, I said, "I wish you were a 50′ tall giantess….." Her face took on a look of shock as she suddenly began to expand. I realized what I did … "Oh shit…" Suddenly her top burst open and her bra popped as her boobs spilled out, expanding fast. She stood up and we realized she was already to tall to stand in the room. Seconds later her head burst though the ceiling, then the roof. I ran to escape the falling debris. Her skirt of course and her panties had ripped off by now as well. So, yes, my mouth got me in trouble again with Jenna. So now, here I am, laying on the ground among the debris of what is left of our house with a five story tall naked and very angry woman way too close to me for comfort, looking like she might just step on me.

Giantess Plaything
I suppose it would be nice of me to be gentle with you. You are much smaller than me after all, and I could knock you off of your feet with a small nudge with my pinky. It would hardly be fair of me to use my greater size against you like that, there's no denying that. But I will do it. Should a dominant giantess care about what is fair to a pathetic miniature man like you? Of course not. Might makes right, and you know that. I could crush your skull underneath my heel if I wanted to, I could lock you in a tiny box that I will keep you tucked under my bed to pull out whenever I want to play with you. I could wrap my hand around your head and smother you without any trouble while you kick and wiggle. I could do whatever I please with you, and you know it.

I wonder how scary it would be, standing there frozen with fear and more than a little fascination while the diaper is getting closer and closer to you…it would already be so large (duh, giantess diapers)and getting larger as she started to sit down! If you were on the outside edgesof the diaper you might have a chance, but if you're closer to the middle you are going to be goner, just a red smear on the back of a gigantic disposable diaper! Even towards the edges you're going to be in trouble. You'll still be covered by the diaper, and all of her weight won't be crushing you but there will probably still be enough pressure to make it hard for you to wiggle free. You'll nearly be smothered, begging for help, but nobody will hear a thing. You need some giantess phonesex to talk about this fetish of yours. Call me anytime!

Disciplined By Your Giantess Mommy
You are a small, weak little man but somehow you think you can talk to me like I'm the tiny one here? You are helpless right now and it that reality just hasn't clicked for you yet. The harsh spanking you are about to get when I pull you over my lap will definitely help you out with that. Those silly ideas about you being in control will get knocked out of your head with every smack of my massive hand against your ass, and you're going to find out quickly that I won't be holding back. Squirm and wiggle all you want to, only thing that will do is tire you out while I hold you against my lap with one hand and spank your ass red with the other! I will discipline you with bare-handed or paddle spankings every single day, multiple times a day if need be. I am your giantess Mommy now, and you will learn how to behave.

Sex Toy Boy
Dave woke up feeling groggy and disoriented, sure that he had been slipped something in his drink last night, he couldn't remember anything about the evening and he felt like hell now. He tried to stretch his arms but found instead that he was totally restrained in tight bondage, ankles and wrists cuffed to the 'bed' he was on and a blindfold over his eyes. Fear sharpening his senses he quickly realized the bed was in motion and he started to cry out for help! That's when he heard a loud giggle and felt the blindfold being lifted. Standing before him was a naked giantess, spread eagle and fingering her giant dripping pussy. He had been shrunk by a couple of horny lesbian giantesses!! The structure supporting him wasn't a bed at all but a giant veiny strap on dildo that was about to fuck the slutty giantess on the bed. Dave's screams were muffled as he was thrust deep inside the hot wet cunt, subject to the whims of his dominant captors. 1-888-430-2010 #giantesssex #phonesex #domme

Adult Baby Sat For Real Part 1!
The 8 foot Amazon Woman that your wife had found through online personals looked down at you contemptuously. "I wondered why I would be babysitting a grown man," she said. "But now I can SEE why!" She laughed and pointed at what you had hidden by your diaper until she decided you needed changed moments ago. "NOW I see why your wife – oh, sorry, I mean your MOMMY keeps you in diapers. Obviously something so babyishly tiny belongs in pampers, doesn't it sweetheart?" She said the last bit as you would when patronizing a small child, knowing it would humiliate you even more. And though it was barely possible, it made you shrink and shrivel up even more as you blushed heavily. She noticed this and laughed. "All that blood going to your cheeks makes less available for that, I guess." This babysitter – more than all the others your wife had found – scared you. When she came in and you hadn't curtsied quite sweetly enough, her hand swept under your dress and smacked the back of your diaper HARD! Call me for some Giantess Phone Sex!

Voyeuristic Giantess Fetish
How hard would you get if you were watching a super hot giantess use men your size – so tiny compared to her massive body- as little toys to pleasure herself with? You would stand there and jack off that way, watching while she stripped their clothes off with a pinch of her fingers to kiss and fondle their naked bodies! Would you cum as soon as she slid a few of them inside of her wet gaping pussy hole or could you hold out long enough to watch her use them like a small fleshy dildo? I think you would try to hold out, you really would, but it wouldn't take more than two or three pumps with those men being shoved head first into her pussy before you would be shooting your load all over the place! Do you get hard fantasizing about giantess sex? Go ahead and call me for your giantess fetish phonesex. Tawny 1-888-430-2010 #giantessfetish #macrophilia #giantessphonesex

The Dinner Party
It's every man's fantasy: to be the only man in a room full of scantily dressed gorgeous women, dressed in an array of lingerie, fetish-ware and even some with not a stitch of clothing on – all wanting to have their way with you. It sounded like a dream come true when I confessed that my friends and I wanted to have you…all of you…in all sorts of manners. That you would be the guest of honor at a very special dinner party, the center of all our lusts and desires. I smiled when you almost flippantly said "Where do I sign up?" When you arrived, you were greeted by myself plus two other ladies, barely dressed. The rest was a bit of a blur – hands peeling off your clothing, touching you, lips tasting you. You found yourself laying down in a sort of shallow metal tub. You heard me whisper in your ear, "time for your appetizers…", then I proceeded to mount that wonderful mouth of yours. You instantly start to work on your "meal of the moment", licking and slurping at my sopping pussy, pushing me closer to the edge, until you feel the gush of my orgasm dousing your mouth, your face. My juices dripping down your neck, as my convulsions start to subside. After that it was a succession of pussies, naked bodies, hands, all cumming on your face, your cock, your body. At one point you thought you would pass out, but I kept slapping you, informing you that there will be plenty of time for rest later – now is the time for marinating you. You think to yourself – 'marinating???' You must have passed out, because when you came to, you saw all of us hovering over you, all my lady friends holding a plate in their hands, and I with a carving knife and fork. You realize that you are lying in pool of the accumulated cum, your skin coated in with a sticky film of pussy juices. I smile an endearing smile saying, "Ahh, I think he's marinated in our juices long enough – the knife should slice through his flesh like butter now." Your eyes go wide as the realization washes over you. You never dreamed that when they invited you to dinner, that YOU would be the main course, in a very real way. I lean over you, my hair falling forward tickling your still glistening cheek. A soft smile spreads over my face as I whisper to you, "Don't worry dear, it's quite an honor to be devoured by all these delicious woman…" The last thing you hear as my knife starts to slice into you flesh

Barb the Giantess Seeks Tiny Man
Well hello there, tiny man. So small you are. I could crush you like an insect underneath my boots, and you know it! I think you like it, don't you? I can tell by the way your eyes get wide when I stand in front of you, towering above you by a few feet, easily. You must be into giantess sex. I thought so. Not many people are brave enough to try and make me submissive to their desires. Or maybe you want me to show you my dark fetish side with domination and making you feel like a sissy boy while I use you for my pleasure. I love when my tiny companions give my ass worship and spankings. We could have such fun away from the world and its prying eyes. No outside humiliation is needed when I'm here with you. I can take care of it all by myself. Bring your face down and get on with the pussy eating before I get impatient and have to throw a tantrum. I don't think you'd like a giant MILF who could smash you to a pulp flailing about, so you'd better make me happy! XOXO, Barb *888-430-2010*

Giantess Candy
Do you really think you can hide from me? Just because you had been shrunk down to the size of a little 5 inch vibrator, and I'm a giantess 20 times your size, don't think you can outsmart me and crawl in to tiny spaces and hide from me. I will find you, and you will be mine to do whatever I please. You will be used for my entertainment and pleasure, before I ultimately SQUASH you under my bare feet…..Oh what fun I will have dangling you over the toilet as I flush and drop you in, then pull you out just in the nick of time! If the sound of the toilet freaks you out, imagine what you will do when you hear the vacuum, or even worse the garbage disposal go off. Hahahahaha poor itty bitty little man, you are defenseless against me, but yet you need me to survive. I suggest you be a good little shrunken man and obey my every wish. Remember I did say you were the size of a dildo…hmm I'm imagining about all the things I could do with you to pleasure myself, now lets take those clothes off and lube you up with KY jelly tehehehehe

Blonde Giantess Candy
When you wake up you won't know that you been shrunken down to the size of a plastic army man toy. You don't know where you are or how you got here. Your body feels weird and aches. All you can remember is you met a hot blonde the night before, and she bought you a drink. You rub your eyes and try to focus, something must be wrong with your vision, why does everything looks so BIG? You look around the room and realize your laying on a big bed…a VERY BIG bed, you role over and your stopped by the biggest breast and nipple you have ever seen. This must be the blonde you met last night. What the hell happened? The last thing you remember is sipping having a drink and flirting. Could she have put something in your drink?

Be Aroused, Be Very Aroused
I love having these witchy powers and with them I often shrink men down to size. Yes, they get shrunk to the erect size of their penis. I've seen men shrink to a foot tall or as small as 4 inches. I personally love the ones that go down to around 7 inches or so. You see this witch has a tight little pussy and yes, little man, you will be inside it. You will be responsible for getting me off again and again or I'll never reverse the spell. Your little hands are the perfect size to tickle my clit. I'll carry you around between my big breasts when you get too tired to make me cum again. A day and night have passed but I'm not done with yet. I'll keep you in my panties when I head out to shop. I want you to make me cum while I'm out. Mmmm it's so much fun having a dildo sized man. I may never let you return to normal. 888-938-7382 Lizabeth, the witchy giant

Dominant Giantess Mistress Ava
I am fascinated with the idea of being a giantess and taking my natural dominant personality to extreme. I love the idea of my helpless little submissive slave being the size of a tampon. Making him completely helpless and dependent on me for everything. Are you a man who dreams of what it would be like to be helpless and trapped under a dominant giantess who could crush you like a roach? Do you imagine what it would be like to be crushed under my ass? You cant breath, you can't talk. You never know when I'm going to go too far and kill you with the weight of my body. Do you think you can run and hide and escape me? Oh you stupid little foolish shrunken man. I will catch you every time! I'm way too powerful and cunning; you will never outsmart me or over power me. Just face it. you cant run, you cant hide. You are MINE to do what I want with!

In my last post about Arthur Chamberlin, I had discovered his parents and siblings in the 1910-1930 census records. Well, I had discovered one of his parents and two of his siblings in the 1930 census. I found his father, Martin, with his two oldest brothers, Edward and Thomas, living in Marine City, St. Clair, Michigan, with Martin's widowed father, Edward Felix Chamberlain. According to the 1920 census, there should have been two additional siblings, Albert and Alice. Arthur and his mother, Gertrude, were also missing. I knew from Martin's death record that he was divorced at the time of his death in 1942. I had also found a 1941 marriage record for Gertrude and her second husband, Sear Christian. At this point, although the census said Martin was married, I figured they were either separated or divorced at the time of the 1930 census.
I searched with all sorts of search term combinations for Gertrude Chamberlain, along with Alice, Albert, and Arthur Chamberlain, but to no avail. Then one day, I decided to search for Sear Christian, just to see what he was up to in 1930. I knew from the 1941 marriage record that he was living in Detroit, so I figured I would check there first. Well, lo and behold, I found a Sere Christie living at 2267 Monroe St. in Detroit. He was listed as a die setter, and his age and place of birth (c. 1887-1888 in Belgium) were consistent with those listed on the marriage record. Guess who was living with him? Gertrude Christie (age 42) and three children: Alice (age 15 - a shoe store saleslady), Albert (age 13), and Arthur (age 7), all enumerated under the name Christie. No wonder I couldn't find them --- I was searching for Chamberlain/Chamberlin.
Interestingly, Sear and Gertrude were both listed as married, and she was listed as his wife. The children were all listed as Sear's children (not his stepchildren). However, I am not sure that Sear and Gertrude were actually married, since we have a 1941 marriage record, which occurred 11 years after this census was taken. They could have gotten married before 1930, divorced, and then remarried in 1941, but I doubt it. Especially since Martin was still listed as married in 1930. I have to wonder if Gertrude ran off on him with the three younger children in tow. Perhaps Martin did not want to be divorced and did not sign the divorce papers until 1941. I need to see if I can find their divorce papers, which I am assuming would have been filed in St. Clair County. It's also possible they were filed in Wayne County.
Well, now that I had all of Arthur's siblings' information, I could start to look for them on Ancestry.com.

Crime - Sacto 911
Man pleads no contest for threatening Sen. Leland Yee
A Santa Clara man pleaded no contest Monday to seven felonies and three misdemeanors in making threats against state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, for his pursuit of gun control legislation.
Everett Basham pleaded to felony counts of making terrorist threats, malicious possession of explosives, forging a military ID and illegal possession of assault weapons, said Alaleh Kianerci, a Santa Clara County deputy district attorney. She said he also pleaded to misdemeanors including carrying a loaded concealed weapon and possession of a destructive device, which was a modified explosive.
The crimes carry a maximum sentence of 10 years, Kianerci said, adding that Basham is not eligible for probation.
The incident took place earlier this year, when Basham sent Yee an email warning that he would assassinate him if he continued pursuing gun control bills.
"The threat was unlike any of the other ones I've received in the past," Yee said in February. "In the past I've received racial slurs, rants about my ethnicity and culture, about China. But instead this was a rather detailed, deliberate and exact set of strategies as to how he would carry out that threat."
Yee issued a statement today thanking prosecutors for their action on the case and vowing to continue "pushing for common sense gun safety legislation."
"I appreciate that justice was served in this matter and I hope that this man receives all the help he needs," the statement said. "The professionalism of the California Highway Patrol, the FBI, the Santa Clara District Attorney's office and their partners, ensured that a dangerous threat was removed from our community before anyone was hurt."

bzr-builddeb 2.8.1 has just landed on Debian Sid and Ubuntu Precise. This version contains some of my improvements from late last year for the handling of quilt patches in packaging branches. Most of these improvements depend on bzr 2.5 beta 5, which is also in Sid/Precise.
The most relevant changes (enabled by default) are:
- 'bzr merge-package' is now integrated into 'bzr merge' (it's just a hook that fires on merges involving packages)
- patches are automatically unapplied in relevant trees before merges
- before a commit, bzr will warn if you have some applied and some unapplied quilt patches
Furthermore, you can now specify whether you would like bzr to automatically apply all patches for stored data and whether you would like to automatically have them applied in your working tree by setting '
quilt-tree-policy' and '
quilt-commit-policy' to either '
applied' or '
unapplied'. This means that you can have the patches unapplied in the repository, but automatically have them applied upon checkout or update. Setting these configuration options to an empty string causes bzr to not touch your patches during commits, checkout or update.
We've done some testing of it, as well as running through a package merge involving patches with Barry, but none of us do package merges regularly. If you do run into issues or if you think there are ways we can improve the quilt handling further, please comment here or file a bug report against the UDD project.
- If there are patches to unapply for the OTHER tree, bzr will currently create a separate checkout and unapply the patches there. This may have performance consequences for big packages. The best way to prevent this is to set '
quilt-commit-policy = unapplied'.
- '
bzr merge' will now fail if you are merging in a packaging tree that is lacking pristine tar metadata; I'm submitting a fix for this, but it's not in 2.8.1.
- if you set '
quilt-commit-policy' and '
quilt-tree-policy' but have them set to a different value, bzr will consider the tree to have changes.
To disable the automatic unapplying of patches and fall back to the previous behaviour, set the following in your builddeb configuration:
quilt-smart-merge = FalseRead more

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — FEMA will soon start deploying temporary housing to New Jersey residents displaced by Superstorm Sandy.
The decision was announced late Friday night by Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., whose district includes some of the areas hardest-hit by the storm. Pallone says the process could get under way as early as Monday.
Pallone says the temporary housing, such as mobile homes and trailers, will help displaced residents get situated in their own communities and allow them to be near their damaged homes. His Congressional district includes towns in Monmouth, Middlesex and Union counties.
FEMA is working with state and local officials to determine the sites where the temporary housing will be located. It's not yet clear how many people would use the temporary housing or how long it may be in place.

Dr. Maureen Dunn of the Hope College kinesiology faculty is hoping to find area residents with multiple sclerosis who share her interest in exploring the Nintendo Wii Fit's potential for enhancing balance and mobility.
Dr. Maureen Dunn of the Hope College kinesiology faculty is hoping to find area residents with multiple sclerosis who share her interest in exploring the Nintendo Wii Fit's potential for enhancing balance and mobility.
She is seeking participants for a year-long pilot study to determine whether or not the Wii Fit can be an effective home-based rehabilitation tool for individuals with MS. The project, which will begin early in 2011, is being supported through a $32,487 award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
It's work that hits close to home. Dunn's father was diagnosed with MS while she was in middle school, and she was diagnosed with it herself in 2004.
MS is a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system, made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Dunn, who is an associate professor of kinesiology, noted that MS's effects and severity vary from patient to patient, and can range from numbness in limbs, to paralysis to loss of vision. Empathizing very directly with the need, she hopes that her work will help provide a new tool to help at least some of those who have the disease.
"MS is very unpredictable, so people with MS really have no idea what the future holds," she said. "Being able to provide information and potential rehabilitation is motivating, and my own personal experience with the condition will allow me to better understand patients' frustrations."
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society estimates that 400,000 people in the U.S. have MS, and that globally about 2.1 million are afflicted with it. The society notes that the disease is not directly inherited, but that the risk of developing it climbs from one in 750 to one in 40 if a close relative has MS.
Dunn has been examining the Wii Fit's potential in helping different populations improve their balance for a number of years, starting with healthy middle-aged women and also including the elderly. She spent a spring 2010 sabbatical at the University of Calgary in Canada, where she investigated the use of the Wii Fit as a rehabilitation tool for people with MS a laboratory setting.
Having found the laboratory results encouraging, Dunn is interested in seeing if the Wii Fit will serve well as a rehabilitation resource for patients with MS to use on their own. The thought is that it will be more convenient for them to be able to engage in the activities at home at a time of their choosing, and that the entertaining nature of the activities will provide a further encouragement to actually do so. She noted that traditional rehabilitation activities are often considered dull, and that in any case there's not much out there focused on balance.
"If balance is your primary deficit, there's not a mainstream way to go," she said. "So here's an option. It appears to be beneficial. It will probably enhance your compliance because it is fun. You can have your family members do it with you. You also get an actual score saying you're improving, which I think maintains motivation as well."
The pilot study will place participants into one of three groups: one that won't participate in additional rehabilitation activity; one that will participate in traditional rehabilitation exercises; and one that will take Wii Fit units home to use in rehabilitation. The two groups that engage in exercises will be given training on campus before starting the home-based programs.
If it turns out that the Wii Fit is effective in improving balance in the home setting, Dunn is hoping to develop a more in-depth study to further examine how the system might be used.
She will be collaborating on the pilot study with Dr. Kirk Brumels, who is an associate professor of kinesiology and program director of athletic training education, and has used the Wii Fit system in rehabilitation activities for student athletes. Hope students who are interested in kinesiology will also be part of the research team.
Individuals who have MS who are interested in participating in the pilot study may contact Dunn either via e-mail at email@example.com or at her office at (616) 395-7695.

Guild Hall (Old Gymnasium)
Guild Hall, 1908, 1937 and 2007 (click thumbnails for larger images)
For historical photos, click here.
Architect: Charles R. Aldrich, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Contractor: John Heimann, Saint Cloud, Minnesota
- 1901: Constructed
- 1937: Relocated
- 1949: Addition
- 2001: Renamed
Guild Hall (Old Gymnasium) was constructed in 1901 in a variant on the Medieval Revival style of architectural design (the architect, Charles Aldrich, also designed the Armory Building at the University of Minnesota) with Menominee pressed brick upon a massive granite foundation. The building originally measured 120 by 93 feet and was divided into two halls (with an elevated track running around the entire hall at an elevation of nine feet). The gymnasium became the site for handball, basketball, indoor baseball, tennis and other games. There were two bowling alleys in the basement and the second floor contained a billiard room. In 1937, the gymnasium was moved from its original location (directly behind the Quadrangle Building) to 150 feet west and widened by 25 feet. The building served the purposes of the campus until 1949 when it was decided that an expansion was needed and 32 feet were added to the north side of the building. After the final renovation, two basketball courts were available and 1500 people could be seated for indoor athletic events. When the Warner Palaestra was built in 1972, the gymnasium underwent a few changes in purpose: rather than the center of varsity sports, it hosted a variety of intramural sports, dances, and receptions. Guild Hall currently houses the offices of the student newspaper, The Record, the Collegeville U.S. Post Office, and the Military Science Department (Army ROTC). Guild Hall is named after the Saint John's Workers Guild, (organized in 1943 for the benefit of the lay employees) and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

STOCKTON - Before it exploded into a pitched battle, a group of residents March 4 gathered in a Stockton banquet room to hear out a proposed tax increase and pose questions.
STOCKTON - Before it exploded into a pitched battle, a group of residents March 4 gathered in a Stockton banquet room to hear out a proposed tax increase and pose questions.
Invitations to the gathering at Centrale Restaurant & Lounge went out by word of mouth only.
Developer Matthew Arnaiz, who's spearheading the half-cent sales tax initiative to hire more police, led the talk with Mayor Anthony Silva lending some comments.
The mood of the two-hour meeting was described as "thoughtful."
San Joaquin County Supervisor Carlos Villapudua and political consultant Allen Sawyer took questions from about 10 people. About 23 scribbled their names onto a sign-in sheet of butcher paper.
Others who attended chose not to leave their names.
Since then, the tax initiative has become public - earlier than its drafters wished. On Tuesday it drew a 4-3 vote of opposition from the City Council.
City Manager Bob Deis, who has sketched out his own vision for attacking crime - the Marshall Plan - and Stockton's financial recovery playing out in bankruptcy court, said he fears the group's move to circumvent City Hall could end in disaster.
Arnaiz and his supporters aren't backing down.
Some of those on the sign-up sheet provided to The Record offered their reactions to the tax proposal and the fiery debate it has fueled.
"For the best interests of the community, the two fighting egos need to be set aside," attorney Howard Seligman said of Deis and Silva. "You can quote me on that."
The obvious animosity between them playing out publicly is destined to undermine them both, said Seligman, who proposes they draft a compromised tax plan.
The Stockton Safe Streets initiative, posed by Arnaiz and Silva, is written as a restricted tax, requiring two-thirds of voter approval in a special election. This tactic will ensure it only goes toward the hiring of police officers.
Deis contends that after bankruptcy, the city will need a general tax without stringent restrictions, giving city leaders the flexibility to bolster public safety and pay Stockton's creditors on debt that is now suspended under Chapter 9.
Why not ask voters, Seligman said, to pass a tax with part of it restricted for police and another portion dedicated to the city's financial recovery?
Stockton Safe Streets, in a March 22 version of the tax measure, proposes to raise $18 million a year in a half-cent sales tax. The goal is to hire 100 additional police officers or more. Both sides agree Stockton needs a stronger police presence.
Officials at City Hall fear the restricted measure would have the unintended consequence of sapping other vital city services. Raising money before Stockton exits bankruptcy is also perilous, officials contend.
City budget hawk Ned Leiba, a partner at Leiba & Bowers CPAs, said he can't support any sort of tax increase until the city gets a grip on its finances.
He has yet to see that, said Leiba, who attended the Centrale meeting on the invitation of Sharon Simas, the mayor's assistant. Raising taxes now is premature, he said.
"It's reckless, irresponsible," Leiba said. "It's a symptom of the same problems that got us into this problem. Who's to say the money isn't going to be inefficiently used?"
Others who attended the meeting were Vice Mayor Paul Canepa, political consultant Don Parsons, and representatives of the law enforcement community who talked about the need for more police.
Sgt. Kathryn Nance, president of the Stockton Police Officers' Association, said she is mostly supportive of the tax initiative, but has some reservations that she's passed along to Silva and Arnaiz.
Chief Eric Jones has restored morale among officers, who aren't warm to the idea of having consultant William Bratton barging in. Drafters of the initiative insist Bratton won't interfere with Jones' authority.
Nance also fears pressure the tax may put on Stockton's fragile general fund, impacting the city's bankruptcy fight. On the flip side, a general tax could fall into unsafe hands a decade from now under the next generation of leaders, she said.
"We could be paying Neil Diamond to play again," Nance said. "Who knows? We can't have that."
Criminal defense attorney Douglas Goss said that as a Lodi resident he's not going to take a position on the tax, despite having attended the Centrale gathering. But he understands residents who like the urgency of wthe tax initiative over one Deis hints at putting on the ballot later as part of the bankruptcy exit plan.
He noted how Stockton became a one-liner Wednesday for Jay Leno, who said: "To give an idea how broke Stockton is, today the mayor gave a key to the city to MC Hammer."
The ribbing is telling, said Goss, who is running for the District 4 seat on the County Board of Supervisors next year.
"We need to increase the number of police on the street to make people feel safer," he said. "How bad is it when our county becomes the topic of jokes on Leno?"
Sawyer, whose own past has come under attack, said the debate needs to return to policy - not personality.
"There's a lot of noise here and in that noise gets lost what we're really arguing about," he said. "Everybody agrees that public safety should be the big priority."

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Subtleties arise when one of the ``constrained'' functions,
introduced in the signature of an
encapsulate event, is
involved in the termination argument for a non-local recursively
defined function,
g, in that
encapsulate. During the
processing of the encapsulated events,
f is locally defined to
be some witness function,
f'. Properties of
f' are
explicitly proved and exported from the encapsulate as the
constraints on the undefined function
f. But if
f is used
in a recursive
g defined within the encapsulate, then the
termination proof for
g may use properties of
f' -- the
witness -- that are not explicitly set forth in the constraints
stated for
Such recursive
g are said be ``subversive'' because if naively
treated they give rise to unsound induction schemes or (via
functional instantiation) recurrence equations that are impossible
to satisfy. We illustrate what could go wrong below.
Subversive recursions are not banned outright. Instead, they are
treated as part of the constraint. That is, in the case above, the
definitional equation for
g becomes one of the constraints on
f. This is generally a severe restriction on future functional
instantiations of
f. In addition, ACL2 removes from its knowledge
g any suggestions about legal inductions to ``unwind'' its
What should you do? Often, the simplest response is to move the
offending recursive definition, e.g.,
g, out of the encapsulate.
That is, introduce
f by constraint and then define
g as an
``independent'' event. You may need to constrain ``additional''
properties of
f in order to admit
g, e.g., constrain it to
reduce some ordinal measure. However, by separating the
introduction of
f from the admission of
g you will clearly
identify the necessary constraints on
f, functional
instantiations of
f will be simpler, and
g will be a useful
function which suggests inductions to the theorem prover.
Note that the functions introduced in the signature should not even occur ancestrally in the termination proofs for non-local recursive functions in the encapsulate. That is, the constrained functions of an encapsulate should not be reachable in the dependency graph of the functions used in the termination arguments of recursive functions in encapsulate. If they are reachable, their definitions become part of the constraints.
The following event illustrates the problem posed by subversive recursions.
(encapsulate (((f *) => *)) (local (defun f (x) (cdr x))) (defun g (x) (if (consp x) (not (g (f x))) t)))Suppose, contrary to how ACL2 works, that the encapsulate above were to introduce no constraints on
f on the bogus grounds that
the only use of
f in the encapsulate is in an admissible function.
We discuss the plausibility of this bogus argument in a moment.
Then it would be possible to prove the theorem:
(defthm f-not-identity (not (equal (f '(a . b)) '(a . b))) :rule-classes nil :hints (("Goal" :use (:instance g (x '(a . b))))))simply by observing that if
(f '(a . b)) were
'(a . b), then
(g '(a . b)) would be
(not (g '(a . b))), which is impossible.
But then we could functionally instantiate
f-not-identity, replacing
f by the identity function, to prove
nil! This is bad.
(defthm bad nil :rule-classes nil :hints (("Goal" :use (:functional-instance f-not-identity (f identity)))))This sequence of events was legal in versions of ACL2 prior to Version 1.5. When we realized the problem we took steps to make it illegal. However, our steps were insufficient and it was possible to sneak in a subversive function (via mutual recursion) as late as Version 2.3.
We now turn to the plausibility of the bogus argument above. Why might
one even be tempted to think that the definition of
g above poses
no constraint on
f? Here is a very similar encapsulate.
(encapsulate (((f *) => *)) (local (defun f (x) (cdr x))) (defun map (x) (if (consp x) (cons (f x) (map (cdr x))) nil)))Here
map plays the role of
g above. Like
calls the constrained function
f. But
map truly does not
f. In particular, the definition of
map could be
moved ``out'' of the encapsulate so that
map is introduced
afterwards. The difference between
map and
g is that the
constrained function plays no role in the termination argument for
the one but does for the other.
As a ``user-friendly'' gesture, ACL2 implicitly moves
functions out of encapsulations; logically speaking, they are
introduced after the encapsulation. This simplifies the constraint.
This is done only for ``top-level'' encapsulations. When an
encapsulate containing a non-empty signature list is
embedded in another
encapsulate with a non-empty signature list,
no attempt is made to move
map-like functions out. The user is
advised, via the ``infected'' warning, to phrase the encapsulation
in the simplest way possible.
The lingering bug between Versions 1.5 and 2.3 mentioned above was
due to our failure to detect the
g-like nature of some functions
when they were defined in mutually recursively cliques with other
functions. The singly recursive case was recognized. The bug arose
because our detection ``algorithm'' was based on the ``suggested
inductions'' left behind by successful definitions. We failed to
recall that mutually-recursive definitions do not, as of this
writing, make any suggestions about inductions and so did not leave
any traces of their subversive natures.

Reservoir under algae warning
Visitors of the Marion Reservoir will find swimming beaches closed and signs forbidding contact with water because of the presence of toxic blue-green algae.
The warning, released Thursday by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, prohibits any contact with the water for humans, pets, and livestock.
Fishing and boating are still safe. It is also safe to eat fish caught from the Reservoir, however extra precaution should be taken to make sure the fish is rinsed of any reservoir water.
Blue-green algae spores can release a neurotoxin that can be fatal to humans and animals and cause serious illness.

Many cats have chronic problems with upper respiratory congestion (runny or stuffy nose, nasal discharge) and/or conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eye membranes; the eyes may be red, swollen, watery, crusty, or goopy). Nasal or eye symptoms may be both be present, or you may see one without the other. Often, the problem comes and goes.
Causes include viral or bacterial infection, congenital defects (small or absent tear ducts), facial conformation (Persian features), scarring from previous infections; and (rarely) allergies. But by far the most common cause of these symptoms in cats is infection with a Herpes virus. In cats, Herpes is an upper respiratory virus; it's also called "rhinotracheitis" and is one of the components of the combination upper respiratory/panleukopenia (feline distemper) vaccine that most kittens receive. The vaccine does not actually prevent Herpes infection; its main function is to reduce the severity of the disease.
Nearly all cats are exposed to Herpesvirus as kittens. For most cats, no further problems occur. However, Herpes is a sneaky virus, and likes to lie dormant until it gets a chance to overwhelm the immune system. Because stress suppresses the immune system, cats under stress are particularly susceptible to recurrent Herpes flare-ups.
Herpes conjunctivitis is painful, and usually causes quite a bit of redness and a watery discharge. It often attacks only one eye, producing a lopsided squint. Cats tend to be photophobic; that is, they squint against bright light, or try to avoid it altogether.
There are several treatment options for Herpes. One of the simplest is l-lysine, an amino acid that is inexpensive and readily available at the health food store. It comes in capsules or tablets, usually 500 mg. Capsules are much easier to work with, if you can get them. The dose is 500 mg twice a day for 5 days (total 1,000 mg/day). Lysine has a slightly salty taste, and is easily disguised by mixing with canned cat food or baby food. If that seems like a huge dose for a cat, it is–but that's what it takes to work. Once the acute episode is under control, a maintenance dose of 250 mg per day can be given indefinitely.
To relieve irritation and wash viral particles from the eye, you can make a homemade saline solution. Use 1/4 teaspoon of table salt to 1 cup of lukewarm water (slightly above room temperature). Three or four times a day, use a cotton ball to drizzle a small amount saline into the cat's eyes. Make the saline fresh each and every time, because bacteria could grow in the solution between treatments. Or, try an herbal eye wash. Eyebright is an excellent for many eye problems; Halo Herbal Eye Wash is a two part rinse that includes eyebright, as well as infection-fighting goldenseal.
Homeopathy can also be helpful; try Newton Homeopathics Eye Irritation. Reducing stress with flower essences is also very beneficial.
Long-term nutritional support with immune boosting Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants will also help prevent recurrences.
If symptoms worsen, or persist more than a few days, a check by your veterinarian is warranted. Herpes can cause serious corneal ulcers that may result in loss of vision if untreated.
