Hello Wednesday! Had a pretty good night last night despite the fact that there wasn’t SHIT on TV. Is Tuesday night for suck TV or what?? WTF is going on between Comcast and DirecTv? I went to turn on the VERSUS channel and there’s a message basically stating that VERSUS is not being offered right now because Comcast owns it and they want DirecTv to sign something… bla bla bla bla. WHERE DO I GET MY MMA FIGHT STUFF NOW?? Spike is ok but VERSUS had that segment handled very well.
Enough of my pissing and moaning about nothing! Let’s PRON!

Now I know I said I was working on a few things to try and get posted soon. I am still doing that but, it may take just a little longer than I thought. Maybe this weekend I can get at least one of them knocked out. Keep sending me pics and I do enjpoy reading any comments you leave.
Don’t forget…. Tomorrow is HNT!!! (Half Nekkid Thursday). For those of you who are asking, “What’s HNT?”, there is a link to some guidelines on Half Nekkid Thursday. Check it out and post, post, post!
There are many directions to go when choosing 1970’s costumes to wear to a 2009 halloween party. The 1970s were themselves a time of social, cultural and sartorial upheaval, a time when people of subculture began to push more into the mainstream. As a result they began to bring their subcultural modes of not only thought and political activism to the fore, but also their manner of dressing. In a way, 1970’s Costumes were a way for people of similar backgrounds, political ideas and desires to identify with others of the same notions.
We identify each other, in other words, by the way we look and dress and act. Some examples of this in terms of 1970’s costumes are swingers, disco dress, and “pimps” in the Superfly mold. Swingers of course, are defined thusly by wikipedia: Swinging, sometimes referred to as the swinging lifestyle, is “non-monogamous sexual activity, treated much like any other social activity, that can be experienced as a couple.” The phenomenon of swinging (or at least its wider discussion and practice) may be seen as part of the sexual revolution of recent decades, which occurred after the upsurge in sexual activity made possible by the prevalence of safer sex practices during the same period. Swinging has been called wife swapping in the past, but this term has been criticized as androcentric (taking a male-oriented point of view) and inaccurately describing the full range of sexual activities in which swingers may take part. Later, wikipedia goes on to state “In the United Kingdom there was a proliferation of neighborhood groups in the early 1970s — known as “wife swapping” groups — and press articles in later years suggest the peak was 1973–76.” So chosing a swinger outfit as the best of the 1970’s costumes makes some sense. Same with a disco outfit – just look at “Saturday Night Fever” for inspiration, since that is the definitive disco film and provides the best ideas for 1970’s costumes of that mold. And as I mentioned before, Superfly is another great idea.
For those not familiar, Superfly is the story of an inner-city drug dealer who turns against his mafia bosses and goes on a killing spree. Sure, you need a full-length fur coat to pull the costume off, but a creative halloween costumer can come up with that with a bit of effort. Add some gold rings, a cane, sunglasses and fancy hat, and you’re ready to rock with the best of 1970’s costumes.
Sorry, couldn’t resist using that post title. I ran across a rather odd article that related how five “bikini baristas” were charged with prostitution.
While the ladies did not have sex in their espresso stand, they would allow customers to touch their butts and breasts for money. Under the local law, this counts as prostitution. While such behavior can be seen as clearly sexual, I’m not sure if I would consider it to be prostitution. Perhaps it would be useful to have some sort of spectrum of prostitution so as to classify actions based on the degree of activity involved. After all, it seems a bit unreasonable to consider what the ladies did to fall into the same category as actually having sex. Perhaps Bill Clinton could be brought in as an expert on what counts as sex and what does not and various degrees of prostitution could be properly defined. Naturally, Elliot Spitzer should be brought in as an expert on prostitution.
The ladies also ran something of an impromptu strip club and would charge customers extra to prepare their drinks in the nude. This apparently does not count as prostitution, but as lewd behavior.
What I find most interesting about this case is the following: “During a two-month investigation, detectives said they saw the women lick whipped cream off each other and pose naked for pictures at the Grab-n-Go Espresso stand on Broadway.” I’m willing to bet that the detectives competed with each other to get that particular stakeout assignment. One can only imagine why it took two months to investigate the case…
“Littlest One is a tiny creature slowly learning her job of giving dreams to humans. Each night she and her teacher, Thin Elderly, visit an old woman’s home where she softly touches beloved objects, gathering happy memories, and drops of old scents and sounds. Littlest One pieces these bits together and presents them to her sleeping human in the form of pleasant dreams. But the dreaded Sinisteeds, dark fearsome creatures that plague their victims with nightmares, are always at work against the dreamgivers. When the old woman takes in John, an angry foster child with a troubled past, the Sinisteeds go after him with their horrifying nightmares. Can Littlest One, and her touch light as gossamer, protect John’s heart and soul from the nightmare of his dark past?” -Random House website
Gossamer is just one of those perfect books for curling up and reading in bed or under a blanket or somewhere else cozy. It has just the right proportions of sweetness, gentle humor, real-life troubles, danger and fantasy–a recipe for loveliness! Littlest One is just so earnest and cute that I can’t resist her, and Thin Elderly is a delight, and the whole thing has that slightly distant fairy-tale feel to it while still laying the characters hearts bare through their actions. It has the same sort of feeling to me as Season of Ponies and The Sleep of Stone, even though it resembles neither in plot. Your prose is simple and clear, the story is quick and satisfying, and it’s delightfully clever. I absolutely love it, and I expected no less from the woman behind The Giver and Number the Stars and Anastasia Krupnik (but what’s up with Anastasia’s new cover? YUCK!). You totally rock. Five stars!
Love,

Lincoln’s Constitution: The Gettysburg Address and Constitutional Interpretation
TOMS RIVER – Two hundred years after Abraham Lincoln’s birth, the world is still talking about his legacy. He is best known for preserving the Union during America’s Civil War and emancipating slaves. But Lincoln’s impact on the United States as we know it goes far beyond that.
Please join the Ocean County Library Toms River Branch (101 Washington Street) on Tuesday, 13 October 2009 at 6:30 pm for an evening of entertainment and insight as we explore President Lincoln’s effect on the Constitution.
At Gettysburg, Lincoln tackled the nation’s unfinished business in extending liberties to more Americans. Despite all the rights guaranteed in the Constitution, slavery—an institution expressly acknowledged in Article I—contradicts the freedoms people of today believe inherent to that document. Shortly after the Civil War, three new amendments were added to the Constitution: Amendment 13 abolished slavery; Amendment 14 gave citizenship to anyone born in the country; and Amendment 15 allowed for greater suffrage.
Professor Paul G.E. Clemens, of Rutgers University, will discuss Lincoln’s contributions to those Constitutional changes as well as the power of his speech at Gettysburg. How was the Constitution interpreted before the Civil War? What did Lincoln say to change people’s understanding of the Constitution? Lincoln’s legacy affected the United States government’s most important document, and we’ll learn why.
Following Professor Clemens’ remarks, Ms. Diane Lingsch will present “A Delicious Legacy: Lincoln’s Favorite Dishes”, a feast for the brain and the taste buds. In this program, participants will learn about President Lincoln’s favorite foods as well as Civil War era fare that remains popular today.
This program is made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations in this program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
“Lincoln’s Constitution” is free and open to the public. Please register by calling 732-349-6200 option 4, or visiting our website at www.theoceancountylibrary.org.
Tyra Banks had two guests on her show recently who almost died trying to get injections to make their booties look bigger. Both of the ladies went to the same lady who was giving butt shots to women in their area. I watched this and find it extremely ridiculous.
What ever happen to good ole squats? Hell, I can even think of a few sexual positions that I heard will help put a little pump in the bump. No pun
SMH…

Moon and Sun Book 1: The Ruby Key – Holly Lisle – 384 pages
“Human and Nightlings are never to meet, but when Genna and her brother Dan venture into the old forest at night, they encounter a Nightling slave who reveals a terrifying secret: Genna and Dan’s village chieftain has made a dangerous deal with Letrin, ruler of the Nightlings, offering the lives of his people in exchange for his own immortality. To save the villagers and themselves, Genna and Dan strike their own bargain with the Nightling lord, but the stakes are even higher. Now, the siblings must embark upon a journey along the Moonroads, and bring back the key to Letrin’s downfall.” –Scholastic online store
I’ll be totally honest here–I picked up The Ruby Key because the cover art was appealing, particularly the waifish fairy girl. Covers really do matter! I judge books by them all the time! At any rate, it looked like something I would enjoy, and I was totally right. You’ve pulled together this really interesting mood that starts out sort of The Village-or-Forest of Hands and Teeth-esque, and then it sort of morphs into this slightly weirder Campbellian journey. The Moonroads reminded me a little bit of the Abhorsen walking around in Death, or perhaps of the path through the clock to the Red Bull’s lair in The Last Unicorn. Still, though it reminds me favorably of other things, the idea of traveling roads that most people can’t see is mysterious and thrilling in its own unique way–a nice twist on the traveling.
Also, as one might expect from the first book in a series, it had an unfinished feel to me. I think there wasn’t quite enough time between the solving of Book 1’s main conflict and the beginning of the new conflict that I presume Book 2 will tackle. I needed a little more time to feel relieved, and like the story had ended, before you sprung the next problem on me. Of course, that didn’t prevent me from groaning aloud and then scouring the internet for news of when the next book would be coming out! I think you’ve got a good mix of fantasy elements here without the story feeling like it’s been done before, and also a great mix of characters and a lot of confusion and suspense about who to trust. I like that quite a lot! Well done, you get a solid four stars.

Here is a listing of the main categories on the sex store mall. Each main category has many sub categories.
There are 40,000+ adult products, 40,000+ adult DVD’s, and 100,000+ Videos on Demand.
Cand eram mic, abia asteptam sa ajung adult, sa ma fac “mare”. Nu stiu de ce copiii vor sa fie adulti. O fi mirajul vietii de adult, in care poti sa traiesti, sa simti cu adevarat ca traiesti, poate o fi dulcele gust al puterii, puterea de a zice nu, puterea de a lua decizii. Nu stiu, nu pot sa imi dau seama de ce.
Iar cand ajungi adult, cand ajungi in acel moment pe care l-ai visat toata viata, iti dai seama ca nimic nu s-a schimbat. Puterea aceia netarmuita pe care o vedeai tu in adulti, nu o sa o primesti niciodata. Tot timpul e cineva care iti spune ce sa faci, tot timpul e cineva care sa tipe la tine cand nu faci ceva bine. Jucariile s-au schimb, acum sunt mai scumpe, jocurile sunt aceleasi doar ca acum nu le mai joci pe trotuarul din fata blocului. Inainte foloseai frunze si ziceai ca sunt bani, acum folosesti bani pe post de frunze. Frunze frumos colorate, care sa iti ascunda sufletul de copil, sa iti ascunda sufetul, dorintele, visele… sa nu le mai vada nimeni. Sunt doar ale tale, de fapt nici ale tale nu mai sunt. Sunt vechi amintiri.
America, this is not rocket science. Like most things in life, it is logical. We are all Americans and we should all make an attempt to come together and help each other to have a better life. We should all have enough compassion that we don’t want anyone else to suffer. We should all work to be objective and honest with all manner of issues that face us as a people.
Lets look at some facts:
The economy is in the tank. Millions of Americans losing jobs, homes and futures because of the economy and the costs required just to survive. Americans lucky enough to have jobs have had their income reduced over the years while others have noticed only marginal increases in salary. Some Americans with jobs are not provided health care while the majority of others continue to see their health care cost rise significantly year after year and then of course we have more than 45 millions Americans uninsured and that number will continue to rise if we do nothing.
It is important that we see this clearly. The number of Americans losing jobs, losing homes, losing health care, losing income continues to increase. Basically, every American losing at some level which of course is why we spend less/buy less and our economy/Americans suffer more.
Now, what about the Health Insurance and Medical Business? Their CEO’s are making record profits as their companies rake in billions. They are so against reform and a public option for OBVIOUS reasons. What idiot doesn’t understand this logic? They love money so much that they will spend millions or even billions to defeat reform to ensure future profits. Hell, they millions they spend they likely write off in some manner and thus put it back on us Americans.
They deny coverage to long time loyal customers (loyal in the sense they have almost no other choice) to the extent that some die and of course many suffer to the extent that many Americans lose everything and that of course hurts the economy.
Imagine if heath care reform with a good, solid public option was passed? What would logically happen?
1. Insurance cost WOULD come down which means more money used to buy goods and help the economy which creates jobs.
2. People would NOT be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions which would end lots of suffering, likely keep them from losing their future savings, jobs and homes and thus helping the economy.
3. People would be provided with affordable options, a choice that would best fit their age, lifestyle or budget which again means more money for the economy and creation of jobs.
4. Those that lost jobs would have an affordable option and wouldn’t have to do without coverage that could result in their suffering or that of their family and loss of home.
5. Companies that currently provide insurance to their employees would benefit due to lower insurance cost as they provide the benefits to their employees. This would allow more investment directly into the company, increasing jobs and thus adding to the economy.
6. The over 45 million without any coverage would have some relief and likely visit a doctor more often which would stimulate health care business and very possible control the outbreak of contagious viruses or bacteria as these things would be more readily discovered.
7. The Health Care industry would stop spending millions to defeat health care and could use that money to help those they denied coverage or provide treatment to the needy. Maybe buy a few million in drugs to treat those suffering from the worst and most expensive illness that requires special drugs or treatment.
Really, what is the negative impact? A socialist country? There are some aspects of a socialist country that are good and some that are bad. Just like that of a capitalistic society. One is focused on greed and one is focused on the social good to some extent. Helping others, helping American isn’t something that should divide. What, we have to pay a little more in taxes? I have not problem with giving to help others as long was we are not wasting or spending in areas that make no sense or that are not warranted.
If those that are currently complaining had no issue with sending Americans to die while sending many of them back with life long injuries, in a war created on lies to kill more innocent people (Muslims) and torture others costing Americans a trillion dollars as it made defense companies rich? Then why do they have an issue with spending billions to help fellow Americans get care, others get affordable care, create jobs, help the economy?
I personally don’t get it. It does amaze me that the Christian Republicans are the very people that seem to be against what Jesus would support and for what Satan would support.
Think about it. If we are objective and read the story of Christ and know the “Character” of Satan as they story tells it and as our parents taught us then Jesus Christ would have been for Health Care for All and against War, torture, killing, based on lies.
Satan would have defeated health care and praised war. Isn’t this exactly what the Christians are doing?
Let be honest. It definitely appears that on side is full of hate and racist fear as they supported a war based on lies to kill Muslims (of course those evil people worship the wrong god…right?). Now they attack everything about a man that is our first black leader, President Obama, and it is not on the issue. They call him nazi, socialist, communist, fascist, muslim, terrorist supporter, un-American, hates America, racist, evil, anti-christ, and then all the other racist emails and comments we get from these “Jesus Witnessing” Christians.
I am not seeing any good that a party of Christian and Family Values has to offer my family or teach my children. But maybe I just don’t understand how their God’s hate translates to love, compassion, mercy, peace, forgiveness, understanding, honesty and loving even our enemies.
We can wait for those Christians to develop yet another excuse to help us understand such logic. Yeah, right.
The Fleshlight (also marketed as the Fleshjack) is a line of male sex toys. The Fleshlight is designed and marketed by Interactive Life Forms (ILF). The Fleshlight is named for the flesh-like material used in its inner sleeve, as well as the plastic case that houses the sleeve, which is fashioned to look like an oversized flashlight. The inner sleeve is available with vagina, anus, buttocks, mouth and a more discreet slot-shaped orifice (stealth). All inner sleeves also come in a choice of various colors and internal textures.
The Fleshlight was designed by former police officer (and SWAT team member) Steven A. Shubin who was going through forced abstinence while his wife was in a high-risk pregnancy. He was granted a patent in 1998 for his invention, as a “device for discreet sperm collection”.
The Fleshjack brand was launched in April 2007. Fleshjack is essentially the same as a Fleshlight, but specifically targeted toward the gay male demographic.
A mold shaped from Spunky Productions’ Paris was introduced into the Fleshlight Girls (FLG) line in September 2008 in an attempt to underscore their newest textured sleeve to be released, the “Lotus“. Along with the Lotus, ILF launched a new website for the FLG page featuring a Member’s Lounge for V.I.P. pictures and videos of all eight models featured on the site.
… I think most of you have already noticed and also Linden Labs are announcing this on the Loginscreens lately – all places with adult content who havent yet set to adult need to do this till tomorrow.
This is just to remind you that Blossom/Elven Forest will be set to adult by 15th of September.
Jaded Wings will stay mature. You need to age verify to still have access to the forest.
