This is something we all have wanted to do.
Good friend Larry Guest reports in the Orlando Sentinel how Georgia football coach Vince Dooley bored everyone for weeks with details of his 8 1/ 2-pound bass.
The proud, if novice, angler ordered the thing mounted. Dooley`s pals also requisitioned a 2-pound bass from the taxidermist. They presented it to Dooley at a gala luncheon, explaining that sometimes fish shrink when preserved.
Before Vince fainted, they let him have the real one, though.
-- Wisconsin`s Department of Natural Resources is asking Lake Michigan anglers to look for chinook salmon with a missing adipose fin. The clipped fish are part of an 8-year study to determine movements and life history of chinooks in the lake. Fish with the missing fin have a microscopic tag in the head. Returns of the tags will help determine future stockings. The DNR is paying $3 for each tag and also offers a Northport Nailer for every lamprey attached to a trout or salmon. The adipose fin is a small dorsal fin just in front of the tail.
-- You hear so much these days about major league baseball camps for aging fans. Well, the focus finally has turned to hunting with announcement of the first Jerry Koosman World Series Elk Hunt for Nov. 2-7 at Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch in Gunnison, Colo. Paying guests will be paired with major leaguers during the hunt, according to former Cleveland Indians` catcher Larry Wallin, now sales manager for the ranch. Other baseballers who said they`d be there are Tug McGraw and Bruce Sutter.
-- Up North: A bill allowing big game hunters to take two deer has passed the Minnesota Senate with a proviso directing the Department of Natural Resources to remove a herd of elk from farmland in the northwestern part of the state. Farmers around the communities of Grygla and Gatzke have been threatening to shoot the crop-foraging elk if the state fails to act. . . . South Dakota game experts anticipate an excellent pheasant crop following a mild winter. Ranchers report some birds nesting already, indicating chances for a double hatch. ''We`ll know for sure in another month,'' said Steve Nelson, the Game, Fish and Parks Department spokesman.
''As long as we don`t have sudden, heavy rains like the 5 or 6 inches we had in a few hours last year that killed so many birds, we should be sitting pretty.'' South Dakota also expects outstanding numbers of grouse, partridge and quail. . . . Wisconsin biologists are trying to track the cause of a fish kill on the south fork of the Eau Claire River which destroyed several hundred smallmouth, rock bass and redear, plus thousands of forage minnows. The incident between Thorp and Withee is 10 miles above a walleye spawning area at Mead Lake.

The basic Terrestrial Biology course is June 26-28, followed July 8-12 by Biological Field Science, Investigations in Limnology July 15-19 and Earth Science July 22-26. Fees range from $55 to $85 and include meals, lodging, materials and field trips, which--if you total today`s costs--is more than agreeable. College credit is available. The courses are geared for teachers, but any adult is welcome. These are highly recommended for deep on-site experience. Call 257-2045.

Bringing Beige to the Apple Brand
Many CEOs still believe there's a lot to be said for delivering a full retail experience to consumers, a bricks-and-mortar totality that sublimates a brand and leaves consumers with powerful impressions and memories that simply aren't going to be provided by e-tailing no matter how big or sharp the screen.
Apple is the absolute exemplar of that approach. Perhaps counter intuitively for a digital-era giant, its retail stores – with their ample staffing of bright, congenial sellers and trainers – have become crucial as a secondary builder of loyalty among Apple customers to the intuitive design and operational elegance of Apple machines themselves.
That's why Apple CEO Tim Cook shelled out presumably big bucks to lure one of the most successful sitting CEOs of a major global luxury brand, Burberry chief Angela Ahrendts, to fill the vacant position of chief of Apple's crucial retailing empire. The shiny bauble of a job was enough to get Ahrendts to move on from her success in repositioning Burberry in a challenging global environment and the $5.2-million salary that went with it. Apple itself doesn't disclose details but according to Customer Growth Partners, sales per square foot in Apple's stores fell 4.5% in the nine months ending June 30.
Ahrendts will come to Apple as it seeks to rev up a brand whose devices have become ubiquitous and whose stores have lost some of their initial novelty, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Apple has aggressively opened more stores as competitors have mimicked the format of its brightly lit spaces. Rivals such as Samsung Electronics has successfully knocked-off Apple's flair with distinctive products and glitzy marketing. Samsung's Galaxy Note 3, an oversize smartphone announced last month, includes a stitched-leather look on its back.
Clearly, running Apple's retail operations is one of the most important non-CEO jobs in the world. Ron Johnson's success as the first chief of Apple's retail stores was even enough to make JCPenney's board think he could save their company as its CEO; they were wrong. And when Johnson's successor at Apple, John Browett, couldn't hack it and was eased out of the company last year, running retail was so important that Cook himself took over the duties.
So Ahrendts will be counted on to apply her upscale-market savvy to an Apple-retailing operation that must help keep the brand elevated even as Apple's product-innovation edge wanes.
Certainly something about Apple persuades CEOs to give up their title. As Ahrendts joins the company's 10-member executive team early next year, one of her colleagues will be another former luxury-house CEO, Paul Deneve of Yves Saint Laurent, who's working on special projects for Cook. As rumors persist about Ford's Alan Mulally leaving Ford to take the top job at Microsoft, and (less credibly) IBM's Virginia Romitti being wooed to run General Motors, Ahrendts decision to join Apple could become the beginning of a trend of industry jumping.

Under the dagger of proselytism
— Philip Li Ching Hum
Freedom of religious belief is sacrosanct and is even enshrined in our Constitution. But when proselytism starts rocking the very fabric of our society there is need to be seriously alarmed. The proliferation of various hydra-headed sects in our multi-cultural and multi-lingual society that has been taking place cannot be ignored.
The history of Mauritius is replete with cases of coerced conversion of Afro-creoles, Sino-Mauritians and Hindus (particularly Tamil-speaking ones), especially during the colonial era. Nowadays organisations lavishly funded from outside are mushrooming across the country, which is reckoned as a fertile ground for proselytism. But proselytism becomes a real danger when it attacks the very cultural heart of our society. It can deculturise a whole ethnic group and makes the latter reject its ancestral cultures, depriving it of its roots and identity.
The process of cultural alienation by the process of conversion is a well-calculated move. Cultural survival is at stake. Some sects which ply what is referred to as 'religion-panadol', harp on the strings of emotions and instil fear, anxiety and a sense of guilt in the hearts of credulous people. They thrive best on the soils of poverty, destitution and unemployment. Family ties get weakened by setting brother against brother and sister against sister. Children turn rebellious. The notion of sin, paradise/hell and culpability is hammered into the collective psyche. We thus see the sects' victims denying their long-cherished ancestral cultures that have been bequeathed to them for generations. Had they been taught the beauty of the concepts underlying Karma and Nirvana, they would never have deserted their ancestral religions and resisted the onslaught of the aggressive conversion efforts of the charlatans. Some newly converted among Hindus confess candidly that they no longer celebrate the millennial festivals like Divali, Holi or Maha Shivaratee. I frown upon them in utter disbelief because my years spent at St Xavier's College have taught me the joy of celebrating Divali. Some new converts even confessed to me that they no longer wear sarees because their pastors have forbidden them to do so!
Proselytism is more devastating: some Mauritians of Chinese origin no longer burn joss-sticks nor practise the veneration of the Ancestors, which forms the very basis of Chinese culture. They have deserted the pagodas and they even proclaim from rooftops that these rituals are pagan practices. Is this not an insult to our ancestors, the early immigrants who had fought their way to carve out a better and culturally richer life for the coming generations? Once I visited a relative and I saw on the wall of his lounge the following written in bold letters: "If your God is dead, try mine. He is alive…" The same relative was adamant when asked to call a psychiatrist to diagnose his wife suffering from schizophrenia simply because the pastor had persuaded him that she was possessed by the devil. The same pastor came with a rod to drive out the evil spirit. The rest of the story is too sad to be told…
Fortunately there are many who stand steadfast in upholding their Chinese culture. Confucianism and Judaeo-Christian philosophy stand two worlds apart and it is my firm view that they cannot be reconciled. No doubt, Sino-Mauritians have gained access to certain priest-run schools once reserved in the early fifties and sixties for a specific ethnic group, but they have paid a heavy price for it. Many of them have adopted Christian names. The prejudice still runs so deep in certain quarters that some of them are contemptuously referred to in those quarters as yellow bananas.
The plight of Kunta Kinte in Alex Haley's 'The Roots: The Saga of an American Family' mirrors the dark sides of proselytism. We have also learnt from the lessons of history how the Spanish Conquistadores conquered Latin America with a gun in one hand and the Bible in the other and finally subjugated those people to their boots. Today the gun has been replaced by crispy bank-notes. The poorer one is, the more vulnerable one becomes.
If the spreading out of religion is used as a means to subjugate an ethnic group, proselytism in that context becomes a real danger and it can potentially degenerate into a war of religions, placing the country on a powder keg. We would certainly not want a Lebanon or Kosovo in the Indian Ocean. Singapore has banned conversion since long. China has had a bitter experience of proselytism especially during the Opium War. The government must intervene before it is too late. If we do not measure the risks that the situation could give rise to and act in consequence, extremists may take their root firmly on the soil of demagogy to counter the activities of such sects?
It is high time for the government to stop the excesses by taking the right actions.

What follows here is the full text of the Code of Practice. Readers may also be interested in our pages covering copyright and script registration.
Code of Practice for Submission of Programme Proposals - as agreed between the Alliance for the Protection of Copyright and the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
The Alliance for the Protection of Copyright (APC) comprises BECTU, Writers Guild, Directors Guild, NUJ, Society of Authors, Women in Film and Television, Musicians Union and PACT.
To encourage the confidence of Originators and the free flow of material within the film and broadcasting sector of Britain's creative industries, the following Code of Practice is proposed for the receipt and acknowledgement of Creative Material.
In adopting this Code it is recognised that similar, if not identical, Creative Material may be submitted to a Receiver by different Originators at different times. This Code does not restrict the freedom of Receivers to select the best Creative Material from the best talent in accordance with commissioning and scheduling priorities.
ii) any professional person or company who receives Creative Material from another party.
Creative Material means proposals (which may include formats, treatments, scripts, outlines, development documents, tender submissions, storylines, artwork, and synopses) as the same comprise and are submitted as proposals for radio and television programmes.
It is not intended to cover unformulated ideas.
An Originator is a professional person or company who originates Creative Material, and who wishes to offer such material to a Receiver. A professional person or company shall include those belonging to a relevant Trade Union, or trade body or other member organisation of the Alliance for the Protection of Copyright.
Usually Receivers will be the principal UK broadcasters (BBC, C4, C5 and ITV companies and/or the ITV Network Centre); but Receivers shall include film producers, independent producers and others and/or the Network Centre who have adopted this Code of Practice for the receipt of Creative Material.
The principal objective of this Code is to support Creative Material being treated, and being seen to be treated, in a fair and honest manner by both the Originator and a Receiver of such material.
This Code recognises that similar, if not identical, Creative Material will be submitted to a Receiver by different Originators, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes not. In dealing with this, Receivers must respect the confidentiality of Creative Material submitted to them but must be free to select the best Creative Material from the best talent, in accordance with commissioning and scheduling priorities.
To that end, Originators of Creative Material should, as far as practicable, understand the difficulties which Receivers experience, and submit Creative Material which, whilst it may be summarised, should be in as much detail as possible, in writing or some other appropriate form to maximise fair and honest treatment.
Likewise, Receivers of Creative Material should understand the importance which Originators attach to the value of their material, and ensure there are simple and transparent systems which demonstrate that their material is treated in a fair and honest way.
iii) that Creative Material is in writing and its distinctive and original features are clearly identified.
By adopting this Code, a Receiver accepts that it will observe procedures which ensure that it observes due confidentiality of Creative Material until any superseding agreement concerning the use of Creative Material is reached between a Receiver and an Originator. In particular, where a Receiver originates its own Creative Material, a Receiver should establish internal procedures which distinguish the source of the origination of such Creative Material.
This will be especially difficult for in-house strands which use Creative Material from a variety of Originators, but which is assessed by a single Commissioning Editor or editorial representative. In these circumstances, the Receiver should be particularly sensitive to the need to deal fairly and quickly with submissions, to avoid any impression of the Receiver failing to recognise the origination of Creative Material submitted by independent Originators.
Although speedy acknowledgement of, and action on, Creative Material is obviously to be encouraged, that is not a purpose of the Code. Speed of acknowledgement is of importance only in so far as it provides evidence that the Creative Material to which this Code refers was submitted by an Originator and received by a Receiver.
iii) that the Receiver thereafter provides a fuller response indicating rejection or a wish to continue to consider the Creative Material (within such reasonable time frame as individual Receivers may publish from time to time) unless the Creative Material is submitted in response to particular tender, when the published timetable for dealing with relevant submissions will apply.
iv) If Creative Material is rejected, the Receiver will upon request use reasonable endeavours to return any and all original materials supplied by the Originator.
Where a Receiver has to assess Creative Material submitted by one or more Originators alongside internally originated Creative Material, special care should be taken concerning perceived conflicts of interest, appropriately anticipating any enquiries to support application of the Disputes Procedure of this Code.
Where a Receiver commissions an Originator to undertake further development work, specific contractual terms will be agreed to deal with the ownership of Creative Material and the development work. The terms of any such agreement shall then supersede the relevance of this Code concerning any further use of the relevant Creative Material.
Creative Material which is proffered to a Receiver verbally will not be within the scope of the Code.
A major objective of this Code is to minimise the likelihood of disputes concerning ownership of Creative Material.
If an Originator has a complaint concerning unauthorised use of Creative Material submitted to a Receiver under the provisions of this Code, an Originator and Receiver will initially attempt to resolve any disagreement through exchange of documentation and discussion.
In the absence of such resolution the Originator will either directly or (when appropriate) through the relevant executive or official of the Originator's trade association or union, contact the appropriate senior person or persons nominated by the Receiver to obtain clarification of the basis upon which the Originator's Creative Material was received, logged and responded to as provided by this Code.
It is hoped that any dispute will be resolved at this stage. However, beyond the above procedure this Code shall not otherwise restrict the legal rights of an Originator or Receiver relating to matters to which the dispute relates.
The terms of this Code as revised to include BBC Radio shall be applied by signatories with effect from 1 September 2001.
Representatives of the signatories shall convene a meeting not less than once in each calendar year to assess the implementation of the provisions of the Code.
Document last reviewed 23 March 2009.

PORSCHE GT TEAM TACKLES FIRST WORKS CAMPAIGN IN CENTRAL AMERICA
Filed Under 6 hours of mexico, fia wec, fia world endurance championship, jocaracing, Porsche 911 RSR, Porsche GT Team, preview, sportscar racing, sportscar racing news
The six-hour race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City on 3 September marks the start of the second half of the Sports Car World Endurance Championship season. The Porsche GT Team fields two new 911 RSR in the GTE-Pro class on the racetrack at an elevation of 2,310 metres. The 510 hp 911 RSR racer celebrated its maiden victory on July 22, 2017, at the American IMSA SportsCar Championship race in Lime Rock. This is the second time that Mexico has hosted a WEC round. Like at the 2016 premiere, fans can again look forward to a gripping race with fierce duelling, particularly in the GT-Pro class. The Balance of Performance, which was created to ensure that all vehicles of different concepts compete on the same performance level, has been readjusted for this race. Next up after Mexico are the WEC rounds in the USA, Japan, China and Bahrain.
With the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Mexico has paid tribute to its racing legends Pedro and Rícardo Rodriguez. The 4.421-kilometre racetrack with its 17 corners can look back on an eventful past. Since Jim Clark won the Formula 1 race there in 1963, the circuit has been closed on and off for renovations and then reopened. The corner combination at the end of the back straight is exceptional: It runs through the Foro Sol, a former baseball stadium that can seat 26,000 spectators.
The Porsche drivers
Four works drivers and a Porsche Young Professional compete for the Porsche GT Team: Richard Lietz (Austria) and Frédéric Makowiecki (France) share the cockpit of the #91 Porsche 911 RSR in the GTE-Pro class. They kicked off the season with third place at Silverstone and clinched second recently on the Nürburgring. Their team colleagues Michael Christensen (Denmark) and Kévin Estre (France), who finished third at the Nürburgring, man the #92 car. In the GTE-Am class, the Porsche customer squad Dempsey Proton Racing fields a 911 RSR from the 2015 model year. The drivers of the #77 vehicle are the Porsche Young Professional Matteo Cairoli (Italy) as well as Christian Ried and Marvin Dienst from Germany. So far this season, they have achieved a victory at the Nürburgring, third place at Silverstone and second in Spa-Francorchamps.
The Porsche 911 RSR
Porsche Motorsport at Weissach designed the Porsche 911 RSR from scratch for this season, based on the high-performance 911 GT3 RS sports car. Depending on the size of the restrictor, the motor, which is now positioned in front of the rear axle, puts out around 375 kW (510 hp). Thanks to the particularly large rear diffuser combined with a top-mounted rear wing, the level of downforce and the aerodynamic efficiency were significantly improved. The 911 RSR made a successful start to the WEC season, clinching third at its maiden outing in Silverstone. On the Nürburgring recently, it scored a double podium result with second and third place.
The six-hour race in Mexico City starts on Sunday, 3 September, at midday local time (19.00 hrs CEST).
Comments before the race
Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport and GT Cars: "The heat and the high altitude make this race a very special challenge. We didn't compete as a works team at last year's WEC premiere on this racetrack, so we don't have any practical experience that could be of any real help to us. We'll use each practice session to focus on finding the best possible setup for the special conditions. Our one-two result at the Nürburgring underlined that we're on the right track. The first WEC victory for our new 911 RSR is very probably just a matter of time."
Marco Ujhasi, Director GT Factory Motorsports: "The thin air at this altitude has a huge influence on the engine performance and also impacts on the aerodynamics. The stress on the tyres, however, is not as extreme as on other racetracks. I'm interested to see how we'll cope with these conditions with the new 911 RSR and how good our setup is. In any case, it'll definitely be an exciting task."
Richard Lietz (911 RSR #91): "My first race in Mexico last year was a great experience. The enthusiasm of motor racing fans in this country is unbelievable. And then there's the racetrack. A section of it runs through a massive sports arena and when you approach the grandstands filled with these keen fans you really get goose bumps, despite the heat. We're tackling this race with our new 911 RSR under very different circumstances. We're very close to achieving our first victory; we saw this at the Nürburgring after clinching second place. Perhaps the time is right in Mexico."
Frédéric Makowiecki (911 RSR #91): "I'm looking forward to this race. Unfortunately I wasn't there last year when the WEC raced for the first time in Mexico. So this will be a whole new experience for me. Racing in such megacities always has its very own appeal. And after the strong performance at the Nürburgring, it's now time to bring home the first WEC victory with our new 911 RSR."
Michael Christensen (911 RSR #92): "Last year's race here was huge fun. I like the track; it's totally different to the others I've raced on in the WEC. The altitude has an effect on the engine performance, but that's something all the teams have to cope with. It'll be interesting to see how the tyres perform under the special conditions and what the grip level is like. Ultimately, that'll again be the key to success."
Kévin Estre (911 RSR #92): "Mexico is completely new territory for me. I've never been to Central or South America, so I'm really looking forward to this race. The fact that the circuit runs straight through a baseball stadium is fantastic, Michael my teammate told me about it. Because it's so close to the huge metropolis of Mexico City, masses of spectators flocked to watch last year's inaugural WEC race here. The Mexicans are passionate people and they love motor racing – and that's what makes the atmosphere in the huge arena so incredible."
Matteo Cairoli (911 RSR #77): "It was a fantastic experience to score my first world championship win with the Porsche – and on the Nürburgring of all places. A dream came true for me. As a team, we showed that everything is possible this season. This success is hugely motivating. Now we're determined to fight again for victory in Mexico."
Balance of Performance (BoP)
The "Balance of Performance" applies to the GTE-Pro class of the WEC Sports Car World Endurance Championship. "BoP" was introduced by the FIA with the aim of achieving a level playing field for the different vehicle concepts, and thus ensuring balanced and fair races. The intention is that it should not make a fundamental difference if a vehicle is powered by a turbocharged or normally aspirated engine, or if the engine is mounted on the front axle or in front of the rear axle. The basic aerodynamic shape of the vehicles should also not play a decisive role. After an initial grading by the FIA, the balance of performance is adjusted at the races by means of telemetry – not only using lap times, but also acceleration profiles and engine mappings. This data input is analysed and automatically incorporated into the "Balance of Performance". The most frequently used means of adjusting the performance level is through adding or subtracting weight. In keeping with the rule-makers' intention, the key to success on the racetrack is not about the individual potential of a vehicle, instead it's about the performance of the drivers, the race strategy, a perfect setup or the skill of the team with their pit stops.
The Sports Car World Endurance Championship WEC
Sports prototypes and GT vehicles contest the Sports Car World Endurance Championship (WEC) in four classes: LMP1 (eg. Porsche 919 Hybrid), LMP2, LMGTE-Pro (eg. 911 RSR) and LMGTE-Am (eg. 911 RSR model year 2015). They all compete together in one race but are classified separately. At Le Mans, double points are awarded in all classes towards the championship.

Fasetto, a startup developing tech gadgets and software in Superior, WI, has pulled in $6 million in equity funding, according to a document filed this week with the SEC. There was one investor in the deal, the filing shows.
Six-year-old Fasetto previously raised at least $13 million from investors, per SEC filings.
Xconomy has e-mailed Fasetto officials for comment, and we'll update this story if we learn anything.
The startup's products include a cloud-based file storage and sharing service; a paperless receipts product called Bonsai; and Link, a pocket-sized device that can store multiple terabytes of data. Link allows a user to exchange information with any Wi-Fi-enabled device, even when there's no Internet connection available, thanks to Bluetooth and other wireless technologies. (Read more about how it works in this Xconomy article from 2015.) Last year, Fasetto introduced Forum, a product that can wirelessly broadcast digital presentations to nearby connected devices.
Fasetto fits into a few trends, including an effort to use new technologies to make meetings more effective and efficient, particularly as companies employ larger numbers of remote workers. Other companies working in this sector include Owl Labs, Airtame, Barco, and Kramer Electronics, as well as tech giants such as Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT).
Besides raising venture capital, Fasetto has launched its products with the help of online crowdfunding platforms. Its first crowdfunding campaign, in 2013, raised $152,795 from 194 backers, making it Wisconsin's second-highest-grossing Kickstarter campaign at the time.

Coke's Make It Happy Campaign Ends With A Blitzkrieg
Home/Social Media/Coke's Make It Happy Campaign Ends With A Blitzkrieg
Coca-Cola learned a hard lesson this week with its automated #MakeItHappy Twitter campaign. The beverage giant should know by now that anytime you deploy an automated campaign on the Internet, there are going to be attempts to break the system. Coca-Cola had no other option than to suspend their #MakeItHappy campaign after the automated system was tricked into quoting from Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.
The purpose of the campaign was to encourage Twitter users to forward hurtful and negative tweets to Coke so the brand may turn the words into positive, cute images. The campaign was launched during a sixty-second ad that ran during the Super Bowl. The ad focused on the importance of sharing happiness on the Internet rather than being mean spirited. The follow up to the sixty-second ad asked Twitter users to send negative tweets to Coca-Cola using the hashtag #MakeItHappy. The brand then took the negative message and transformed the words into an auto-generated art image using ASCII lettering code. You can try ASCII lettering for yourself by clicking here.
Coke turned the white nationalism slogan of the "Fourteen Words" into a cute dog.
It was the beginning of the end when Coke turned the white nationalism slogan of the "Fourteen Words" into a cute dog. This inspired the tech blog Gawker to see how far they could push the automated campaign. Gawker's editorial labs director, Adam Pash, started his evil-pushing adventure by creating a Twitter account with the handle @MeinCoke. He then proceeded to tweet quotes from Hitler's Mein Kampf. Surely enough, Coke's automated campaign pounced on the bait. Coke took the hateful words and created cute images like a cat playing the drums and a happy burger.
Coke responded to the "attack" by deleting the Hitler-related tweets and commented:
"The #MakeItHappy message is simple: The Internet is what we make it, and we hoped to inspire people to make it a more positive place. It's unfortunate that
This Coke tweet repurposed the text: "When the territory of the REICH embraces all the Germans and finds itself unable to assure them a livelihood" into a cat playing the drums.
Gawker is trying to turn this campaign into something that it isn't. Building a bot that attempts to spread hate through #MakeItHappy is a perfect example of the pervasive online negativity Coca-Cola wanted to address with this campaign."
According to Coke, Wednesday February 4th was planned to be the final day of the campaign. As a follow-up, Coke's social media team are promoting their "Smile Petition" to support customer engagement surrounding the #MakeItHappy campaign. Coke claimed that sentiment surrounding the #MakeItHappy campaign as a whole was 95% positive to neutral, with only 5% negative.
Considering Coke's past with automated campaign backlash, one would have thought that the brand would have prepared for some sort of sabotage. Especially considering the fact that the campaign is targeting the types of negative entities that would want to sabotage a campaign geared towards eliminating them.
The lesson to be learned is that any auto-generated campaign needs to have safeguards in place to avoid embarrassing and potentially brand-harmful activities. Ample preparation is necessary in the planning stages of the campaign to eliminate the potential for risk while the campaign is running on its own. And while the campaign is running, quality control and monitoring activities need to be performed to protect the brand.

I'm so happy to share a recipe from a reader who is such a talented artist! Ximena is the force behind Lobstersquad, a food blog with drawings.
Laura emailed me a while ago asking about "Spanish rice" made in a pressure cooker. There´s a lot of rice in Spain, of course, but not that exact recipe. This happens a lot. We have something we eat practically every week, all over Spain, called "arroz a la cubana" or Cuban rice, which mystifies Cubans, who´ve never eaten such a dish.
Anyway, rice in a pressure cooker becomes a sludgy mess, if what you´re aiming for is the sort of dry, separate, shiny grain, crusted stickily at the bottom of the pan so beloved of paella fans. The pressure makes the starch come out of the rice in a bang, and makes everything cloudy…or creamy. So instead of having paella or Spanish rice in mind, you should change instead, and cook arroz caldoso, our risotto-like dish.
There are many ways to make it, and I suggest you take the overall method from this, and the quantities and timing, and roll with whatever ingredients you have on hand. Like risotto, it´s best made when you have some stock around, but it´s not a deal breaker.
2 1/4 cups StockSo, first off, the sofrito. This is going to take the longest, and the pc won´t help you. Onions, peppers, garlic and tomato have to be sauteed into submission, and that will take time, even if you help it along with a spoonful of sugar.
One onion, one red pepper, one clove of garlic and one drained can of whole peeled tomatoes is more than enough for one time. You can, if you are so minded, do vast quantities of this and freeze portions for several rice dishes.
Or you can cheat, like most everyone else in Spain, and sauté onions and peppers briefly, then add "tomato frito", which comes in a can and is a sweetish cooked tomato sauce. Be generous with the olive oil.
You can cheat some more and start with a can of Hida sofrito, if you are in Spain. That´s some very good stuff, and I miss it.
Once that is done, push it to the side and briefly brown whatever your protein of choice is. Chorizo, or sausage, or chicken thighs (no bone). Here´s the moment to add a few saffron threads, if that´s to your taste.
Now pour a bit of Sherry over it, let it reduce.
Now add the rice (short grain), move it around, let it soak up the oil, and then top up with the stock. This is when you can add a can of chickpeas, well drained.
Close the lid, bring the pressure up to HIGH, and cook for five minutes and open with the quick-release method.
If you´re making a seafood version, give it four minutes and finish cooking the rice with the fish and prawns or mussels or whatever in.
If you´re using leftovers, add them at the end so they don´t dry out.
The quantities are 1 cup of rice for 2 and 1/4 cups stock. It´s a simple multiplication, but just so you know, I make 2 cups for my husband and I. We eat it just done, hot and lovely, and the children have the warmed up remains for dinner.
This recipe is great, I tried it over the weekend and my family loved it. Thanks.
I believe in Cuba this recipe goes by the name of "Arroz con pollo a la Chorrera" and all Cubans there are familiar with this traditional dish even if in recent history the ingredients may not be easy to find, much less a modern replacement Pressure cooker.
But my mother back in the 60s used to prepare this recipe in her old Presto PC just about every Sunday and she continued to do the same in America on her new Presto; Recently we replaced this aging Presto with the Fagor Splendid model to continue this tradition and I've prepared this recipe many times using bone-in chicken thighs (cut along the bone), drumsticks or breasts (cut in bite size pieces) with excellent results, although I'm yet to try Chorizo or Sausages.
Instead of the 'Hida sofrito' mentioned above we add one hefty Tbs of ready-made Goya Sofrito – available in the Latin section of many groceries in the USA- to the Sauté process described above, and substitute Saffron with 'Goya sazon', an excellent condiment with saffron (sold in a box with individual packets) that's also perfect for soups and paellas recipes, instead of whole tomatoes, two Tbs of Tomato Paste dissolved in hot chicken stock will do.
Cubans usually like to pour into the pot a dash of Beer or Rum (instead of Sherry) at the last moment just before locking the lid, and recently I discovered why my mother prefers to use parboiled rice for this recipe instead of regular long/short grain white, parboiled in the PC absorbs the stock better without becoming all 'mushy' and sticky, the grains seem to float in the thick stock without sticking to each other or losing their shape, but don't forget to rinse it well even if the package label recommends against it, if the rice is not rinsed you may experience some scorching as I did at first.
By the way, this recipe with parboiled and chicken works perfectly for us with 8 minutes of "cook time" (at 15 PSI) followed by the natural release method, but sometimes after 5 minutes or so I interrupt this process with the quick manual-valve release method without any harmful results.
I tried this recipe a couple of days ago using a cup of Spanish paella rice and four bone-in chicken thighs, as I couldn't find boneless ones and didn't want to attempt de-boning. I left out the chickpeas, and cheated a little on the sofrito by using a small can of Redpack tomato sauce along with minced garlic, diced onion, and diced red bell pepper. The other ingredients were as specified in the recipe. Cooked the dish for 6 minutes at high pressure plus a four-minute natural release and then a quick release, as a compromise between Ximena's recommended cooking time (5 minutes plus quick release) and my usual cooking time for bone-in chicken thighs (8 minutes high pressure plus 4 minutes natural release). Not surprisingly, the thighs came out just about right and the rice was somewhat overcooked. The dish was also a bit soupier than I expected. But the flavor was terrific and it was much quicker to prepare than conventional stovetop or oven arroz con pollo, so with a few minor adjustments, it's definitely joining my repertoire.
Here is the picture, I hit the wrong button..

Q: Value assigning in kernel with threadIdx I tried a method so that the data transfer from Host to Device will not be used. Normally, we assign values to the elements in the Host array using a loop and transfer it to the Device. This works fine for me on 1D and 2D arrays. The new method i tried is, to give the values to the array elements in the kernel. I succeeded for 1D arrays. But, for 2D array, the result is 0. My device can support (512,512) threads per block. The output values are coming fine upto Length=22 but displays '0' for Length=23 [22<sqrt(512)<23]. As per [22<sqrt(512)<23], i can see that only 22x22 threads are being used. Whats the problem?? Why is this happening?
The Code:
    const int Length=23;

Main Function:

    int A[Length],B[Length],C[Length],D[Length],*Ad,*Bd;
    int size=Length*sizeof(int);
    cudaMalloc((void**)&Ad,size);
    cudaMalloc((void**)&Bd,size);
    dim3 dimGrid(1,1);
    dim3 dimBlock(Length,Length);
    FuncG<<<dimGrid,dimBlock>>>(Ad,Bd);
    cudaMemcpy(C,Ad,size,cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost);
    cudaMemcpy(D,Bd,size,cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost);
    for(int i=0;i<Length;i++){
        printf("%d  %d\n",C[i],D[i]);
    }
    return 0;

Kernel Function:

__global__ void FuncG(int *Ad,int *Bd){
    int tx=threadIdx.x;
    int ty=threadIdx.y;
    Ad[tx]=tx;
    Bd[ty]=ty;
}

A: Your device can only support 512 threads per block. The maximum dimensions of the first two thread block dimensions are 512. A 22x22 block (484 threads) is a legal block size, but a 23x23 block (529 threads) is not.
You are getting 0 output because the kernel is never running. If you check for it, you will find the kernel launch is failing with an invalid execution configuration error. The canonical way to check for a launch failure of this kind is something like:
FuncG<<<dimGrid,dimBlock>>>(Ad,Bd);
if (cudaPeekAtLastError() != cudaSuccess) {
    // handle error.....
}

Stories and prophecies surrounding Mother Earth and Father Sky are abundant in indigenous folklore where Indigenous People have long protected the earth from those who would seek to abuse her resources. That's why it is so wonderful to see that storytelling tradition carried on using today's media outlets.
Carole Lindstrom, an Anishinaabe/Metis enrolled as a citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of the Ojibwe tribe located in North Dakota has taken on the fight with her beautiful children's book, We Are Water Protectors, illustrated by Michaela Goade, which recalls water as "the first medicine," the place from which we all started, a connecting and unifying force of creation. Today, water is under siege, the young protagonist in Water Protectors says, and inspired by her grandmother's stories, she stands to lead her people to fight the Black Snake that threatens all of creation. The fight will not be easy but if she wins all of creation will benefit.
The Seven Fires Prophecy from the Anishinaabe tribe talks of two roads before mankind, one a natural path with respect for all living things, the other a paved-over highway that continues to accelerate at faster and faster speeds through technological and other advancements — much like the movie Koyaanisqatsi depicted four decades ago — one where the earth is an afterthought.
The Seven Fires Prophecy says the Black Snake is a result of the hurried path and, if left unchecked, will blanket the world in much harm and ultimate destruction. Indigenous Peoples believe the black snake is the embodiment of the oil pipelines that have spread like ley lines across our world.
In April 2016, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe stood up to the Black Snake in an attempt to block the Dakota Access Pipeline. It's been years of picketing, protesting, and legal battles for the tribe and others, the latest being a win before the U.S. Court of Appeals who said a full environmental impact statement was needed before the future fate of the pipeline could be decided. The next hearing is scheduled for April 9, 2021.
Lindstrom's protagonist says the fight will not be easy, but it is necessary if we are to survive.
We stand
With our songs
And our drums
We are still here
Carole Lindstrom, We Are Water Protectors.
We Are Water Protectors won The Caldecott Award in 2020, given to "the most distinguished American picture book for children," one of almost a dozen awards won by Lindstrom and Goade for this moving children's story.
It is hard to imagine what the world would look like without these and other dedicated groups of earth keepers.
By working with native tribes — those who have held the land close to them like a mother holds a newborn — we just may be able to make our way out of our climate change mess.
It's time to take the ancient medicine and walk the road of the natural path. It's time to return to our Mother what belongs to her. It's time to revere that which gives us life.
You can start by reading We Are Water Protectors.

The Windows Vista start menu search box is one of my favorite features in Vista, but searching can be pretty slow if you have a lot of personal files, because by default the start menu search also searches files, windows contacts, windows mail, history, and favorites.
You can customize the search results returned in the Start menu search box to only return the results that you want. I personally only want to use the start menu search to pull up applications, so I disabled everything else.
To configure this setting, right click on the Start button and select Properties. Click the Customize button, and you can scroll down to the Search checkboxes.
For best results, change the Search files radio button to "Don't search for files". The start menu is too small to find files anyway. This will speed up searching immensely.
Search – Should disable the search entirely, but doesn't seem to remove the search box. (Note: This option is removed in Service Pack 1).
Search communications – Disables searching through emails and contacts. As far as I can tell, it's only Windows Mail and Windows Contacts right now. I assume other applications will eventually be included here. I disabled this since I don't use either product.
Search favorites and history – Searches through your IE favorites and browser history.
Search Files – You can change this to search all files, or just your home directory. Or disable entirely for speed.
Search Programs – Searches through the start menu and applications.
You can customize to your liking.


Aminopyralid, clopyralid, fluroxypyr, picloram, and triclopyr are in a class of herbicides known as pyridine carboxylic acids. They are registered for application to pasture, grain crops, residential lawns, commercial turf, certain vegetables and fruits, and roadsides. They are used to control a wide variety of broadleaf weeds including several toxic plants that can sicken or kill animals that graze them or eat them in hay. Based on USDA-EPA and European Union agency evaluations, when these herbicides are applied to hay fields or pasture, the forage can be safely consumed by horses and livestock—including livestock produced for human consumption. These herbicides pass through the animal's digestive tract and are excreted in urine and manure. They can also remain active in the manure even after it is composted. The herbicides can also remain active in hay, straw, and grass clippings taken from treated areas. The herbicides leach into the soil with rainfall, irrigation, and dew. As with many other herbicides, they can remain active in the treated soil.
The chemicals of greatest concern are picloram, clopyralid, and aminopyralid because they can remain active in hay, grass clippings, piles of manure, and compost for an unusually long time. These herbicides eventually break down through exposure to sunlight, soil microbes, heat, and moisture. Depending on the situation, the herbicides can be deactivated in as few as 30 days, but some field reports indicate that complete deactivation and breakdown can take several years. Hays have been reported to have residual herbicide activity after three years' storage in dry, dark barns. Degradation is particularly slow in piles of manure and compost. When mulches, manures, or composts with residual herbicide activity are applied to fields or gardens to raise certain vegetables, flowers, or other broadleaf crops, potentially devastating damage can occur.

George Leslie Mackay ( lub ; ur. 21 marca 1844, zm. 2 czerwca 1901) – kanadyjski misjonarz protestancki.

Był synem szkockich emigrantów, urodzonym w gminie Zorra w Kanadzie. Studiował teologię na Knox College w Toronto (1865-1868) i Princeton Theological Seminary w Princeton (1868-1871). W 1871 roku wyruszył do Chin jako pierwszy misjonarz prezbiteriański w tym kraju. Początkowo głosił w miastach na chińskim wybrzeżu, ostatecznie zdecydował się jednak osiąść na Tajwanie. Prowadził działalność misjonarską w Danshui na północy wyspy. Nauczył się języka tajwańskiego i w 1873 roku ochrzcił pierwszą grupkę Chińczyków. Samodzielnie zapoznał się także z naukami medycznymi i otworzył własną klinikę, gdzie zajmował się głównie stomatologią. Jak sam szacował, w ciągu 20 lat wyrwał swoim pacjentom ponad 20 tysięcy zębów. W 1878 roku poślubił Tajwankę Zhang Congming (Tiuⁿ Chhang-miâ, 張聰明).

Mackay do końca życia budował struktury kościoła prezbiteriańskiego na Tajwanie, nawracając wielu Chińczyków i budując ponad 60 domów modlitwy. Z pieniędzy otrzymanych z Kanady założył w latach 80. XIX wieku w Danshui szpital, szkołę, seminarium, a w 1884 roku pierwszą tajwańską szkołę dla dziewcząt. W czasie pobytu w Kanadzie w latach 1894-1896 został wybrany starszym Prezbiteriańskiego Kościoła Kanady. W 1896 roku opublikował książkę From Far Formosa.

Save a Child's Heart "Give Your Heart Out" Val... Erika A.
Hi everyone, many of you know I'm going on yet another adventure this summer to Israel to be part of Save a Child's Heart Program. This is a nonprofit organization that helps save many children from developing countries. They are holding a campaign right now to raise $100, 000 to save 10 children. The Give Your Heart Out campaign, inspired by Valentine's Day, is the cornerstone of the Save a Child's Heart Young Leadership Program. I would ask that you my friends, family and mentors make a donation large or small to help these young children and their families. With our support these children will have life saving heart surgeries and interventions.


On June 16, 2016, the US financial regulators, who refer to themselves as the Agencies, finalized an industry-wide implementation plan for a new accounting method for Credit Losses. The implementation is in stages and the first set of institution are to have implemented it by January 1, 2018. The first set is made up of the largest financial institutions with a presence in the United States.
The United States is in turmoil because of an incompetent administration and an impotent congress. It does not help that the Supreme has become more outwardly political, choosing to be the arbiter of elections (Bush v Gore) and negotiator of legislations (classifying the Affordable Care Act as taxation). But let us remember that this is of our own making.
And both the Russians and the Chinese are quickly taking notice of our weaknesses. While we fight amongst ourselves whether we have a de facto Muslim ban in medium-high risk countries, allowing free flow of people in high-high risk countries, our infrastructure is slowly being dissected for inspection. Simply put, our energy systems are at threat from cyber attacks.
By now, my audience already knows this. However, I want to point out a sliver of light in the darkness; our financial sector is well fortified. It is not perfect, as the last few years have shown. But because our banks are quite profitable, regulations and concerns of adequate spending on cyber defense systems is being addressed.
What we need is cyber police and cyber defense. The latter is something President Obama wanted to tackle but the long campaign trail he had to participate in derailed him from much of his agenda. It is, however, much more likely to be higher on President Trump's agenda, if for no other reason, there is sign that he wants to be aggressive about defense. The concern right now is that this administration intends to be aggressive without permanent advice of the top Defense officer and the top Intelligence officer. That means this administration prefers intimidation abd bullying over actual defense, which requires the constant involvement of Defense and Intelligence.
The former, however, is being overlooked. We don't have very thoughtfully implemented cyberpolicing. We rely on an outdated litigation system to resolve disputes and prosecute cyber crimes. President Obama would have been a great leader to tackle this issue since he has a background in constitutional law. Sadly, we leave it to the Trump administration, which, if it's approach to the security of our nation is of any indication, will favor large brand name corporations over justice.
If the new administration has not been sufficiently offended by this concerned compliance professional, then I suggest an overhaul of the defense organization. As we move toward robotic forces, human resources could be better served in the use and management of the robotic forces. The robotic forces will communicate with human resources through cyber technology. We will need a secure cyber communications system and even a cyber offensive to demobilize opponents.
Right now is not an opportunity to get ahead. We are far behind. We spend more on our defense than the next 10 top defenses combined and yet they are moving ahead of us in this regard because we have had two administration's that were too concerned with now and not concerned enough about the future.
A year ago, Bangladesh Central Bank was attacked. Its SWIFT networking credentials were stolen by malware specifically designed to do so. SWIFT is the messaging sytem is used between banks to transfer money and other assets. The attackers were able to get away with $81 million dollars.
The details are much more troubling. The malware had information about the spcific brand of printer the bank used. Thi meant the malware not only was targeting the SWIFT'S logging system but the BCB itself. And it was doing so with likely help from insiders.
Even more troubling is the context. This happened to in Vietnam and Ecuador as well. It is believed to be part of broader campaign to attack the biggest institutions.
The saving grace was that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York did not process all of the 35 payments because it could only confirm five. But this still meant $101 million was transferred. Had all of them process through, $951 million would have been taken out. Then, $81 million were sent to Philippine casinoes and $20 million to Pan Asia Bank in Sri Lanka, the latter having found the funds to be suspicious and did not release it. Less than a tenth of the originally stolen funds were actually stolen. The thing is, the denominator is so large that this theft still goes in history as being one of the largest bank robberies in history.
The consulting firms are all trying to provide actionable advice, but it is pretty clear has to get done: improve controls around insider information and communications, centralize financial crimes units, centralize data, improve cybersecurity, and develop transaction approval standards. Much easier said than done, though. Imagine trying to control the insider information flows while centralizing the data improve oversight across the data. The key to all of this is the one thing consulting firns are not really saying probably because it isn't an area where they can compete: people. Training and education of the workforce for skills, awareness, experience, and encouraging action is where trust and competence is built. With it, everything else can be built.
Mossack Fonseca, the law firm at the center of the Panama Papers investigation, argued that the documents were obtained illegally and, therefore, the investigation is constitutional. In Panama, the law firm was able to suspend the investigation with that argument, reports Deutsche Welle.
Let's quickly go over the background. Some 2.6 Terabytes of the firm's data were obtained and provided to International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which released a report and all of the documents to the world. The data included 11.5 million documents that contained how the firm helped the wealthy all around the world form shell corporations to hide wealth and avoid taxes in tax havens with complicated organizational structures to elude tax authorities. The fallout included ousting of national leaders and revelation of unlikely political connections.
This does not stop investigations in other nations of their subjects, but it does crimp some of the investigations because Panama is one of the major sources of those investigations because of its status as original jurisdiction.

OSCAR DE LA RENTA SPRING 2020 BRIDAL COLLECTION
Brides are getting more comfortable experimenting with new lengths and silhouettes, and Oscar de la Renta's Spring collection has just the thing.
Designers who work in both fashion and bridal are starting to break down the walls between the two worlds. Instead of establishing completely separate visions, Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim's Oscar de la Renta Spring 2020 Bridal collection features standout pieces and themes from the runway, influencing their bridal lines.
Some of the Spring 2020 gowns took that quite literally, like the finale look: an abbreviated version of the duo's white feathered gown from Fall 2019 (which Lupita Nyong'o later wore to this year's Vanity Fair Oscar party). Speaking of red carpets, the custom strapless ivory gown Regina King wore to accept her best supporting actress award inspired a column here with sculptural draping at the hip.
That said, there were still brand-new numbers you likely won't see on an Oscar de la Renta runway: classic ball gowns with scattered floral appliqués, a high-low dress with a tufted tulle train, and lace columns with XXL bows knotted in the back. Plenty of Oscar brides still want something quite traditional, but even the most "bride-y" dresses were lightened up to be easy to wear; Garcia said one of them weighed less than a pound.

About 14 years ago, my wife and soulmate said something I disagreed with. So I divorced her. As if that wasn't enough, about a week later, my kid got a detention at school. So I sold him into a life of slavery with Tusken Raider Sand People. My actions may sound harsh, but I have principles.
There are certain issues where I simply won't compromise!
What? You think that's harsh? Or maybe ridiculous? You'd be right. But that's exactly the argument I hear from people all the time when the proudly tell me they will never join the NRA again. Ever. So there.
By the way, although I did sell my kid to Tusken Sand People, I didn't really divorce my wife. We just resolved our disagreement like adults and are continuing to live happily ever after.
Back to the NRA issue.
I get that the NRA sometimes does things we don't agree with. Sometimes, they make mistakes. Other times, they're playing long term chess, and may make a short-term move because they have no other option or because it's step one of a longer term strategy.
Who else are you going to get to speak for you on 2nd Amendment issues and get the same power/respect/attention that comes with a group such as the NRA? Bloomberg's Moms Demand or Everytown?
Gun Owners of America. They don't compromise.
NRA benefactor member as well as several other pro gun organizations. Because joining one group just isn't good enough. If you enjoy the shooting sports isn't it worth the price of a few boxes of bullets to support active groups defending your rights?
NRA life member. But from now on my money goes to GOA. Gun Owners of America. They don't compromise.

Hunter Is Back on the Chopping Block!
Earlier this week on Wednesday, White House officials refused to answer whether President Joe Biden asked Twitter to classify information obtained from the Hunter Biden laptop investigation as "hacked materials."
While the majority of us already moved on, knowing no matter how many times it's bought up, Joe will cover for his son, Elon Musk releasing files pertaining to Twitter's censorship of the story brought it back into the spotlight.
Hunter's laptop contents couldn't have come from "hacked materials"
The files in question go into detail about how the company was instructed to suppress any news regarding the laptop investigation during the final weeks of Joe Biden's 2020 campaign.

At the press briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if anyone from Team Biden had communication with Twitter at the time, including demands that the information obtained from the laptop be referred to as "hacked materials."
Even though it seems like an irrelevant question at first, it comes into play considering that Twitter's policy used to restrict stories coming from hacked material; with Hunter's laptop, there was no official confirmation that any of the data on it was hacked.
To no one's surprise, Jean-Pierre didn't answer the question, claiming she can't elaborate on the campaign's decisions from her post and she will retain her position by adhering to the Hatch Act.
Reporter asks about the Hunter Biden laptop story
Jean-PIerre: "I'm just not gonna comment"pic.twitter.com/GE8OxQohw8
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) December 7, 2022
Karine Jean-Pierre has a single trick in her book
This isn't the first time Jean-Pierre referred to the Hatch Act like a child that just learned a new word; it's the one thing that puts her in a position where she can't answer questions from reporters about Joe's 2020 campaign.
Instead of giving a clear answer as to why the Biden administration resorted to such an underhanded move, the press secretary put the blame on Twitter, stating it was their decision to make.
Jean-Pierre did everything in her power to shield Biden from being exposed, including lying about a major platform's decisions regarding a story, all for the sake of not giving a direct answer to the reporters.

It seems the White House put more effort into protecting Hunter than it did into protecting the southern border.
As hilarious as that sounds, it's not far from the truth, seeing as every time his name pops up in mainstream media, the White House goes out of its way to protect him.
It wouldn't even leave this bad of a taste in everyone's mouths if Hunter was a respectable member of society, rather than a crack addict with a huge rap sheet and several investigations coming his way.
All this smoke won't mean a lot in a few days when the story is forcefully pushed out of the limelight to protect the president's son; we'll need another year or two to see it pop back into relevance again.

For some reason I'm not a huge accessorizer. I always admire people who can accessorize the heck out of an outfit but I tend to go for one focus piece, like a statement necklace. Otherwise I like dainty pieces like pearl earrings or a diamond tennis bracelet. That's how I accessorized my last outfit and I was about to post these pictures in the outfit post until I realized that this gorgeous bracelet from Anjolee deserved a post of it's own.
I have always drooled over tennis bracelets because they are exactly my style. This one is gorgeous. I received a handful of compliments within minutes of wearing it. If you're looking for Christmas present ideas for a lady in your life, you should head over to Anjolee and see their selection of jewelry. Not only do they have stunning diamond tennis bracelets, but they also have earrings, necklaces and pendants. They also carry men's bracelets!
I am with you on the whole accessorizing thing- I as well always tend to just pick one statement piece. This bracelet is very pretty- light and girly. Love it!
I always wanted a tennis bracelet! Yours looks super nice!
That bracelet is so sweet and pretty! I'm usually too lazy to accessorize so usually for every day I just wear small pieces but if I'm going out then I try to wear more jewelry!
so pretty and soft! i'm not a huge jewelry person either, but i wouldn't be mad to find that under the christmas tree this year!
OOOOh i love it! But why is it called a tennis bracelet, I never got that... But its very pretty and diamonds are ALWAYS good!
I love this bracelet, it looked so pretty when you wore it out to the Gap event last night, it definitely caught my eye!
I love subtle pieces like this bracelet - it's so pretty!
I love dainty little jewelry like this bracelet. Super sweet!

Hearing that she's out of the shower he shuts everything down, grabs some shorts from the laundry room and makes his way upstairs to shower. In the shower he cleans every inch of his body, knowing that is what she wants, and he thinks to himself about that evil smile she had on her face before she came upstairs. Wondering about it, again his mind goes round and round. In the bedroom she waits for him. Sitting there with the collar in her hand, she patiently waits for him to come out of the shower.
Drying his body off and looking at himself in the mirror, his thoughts still run wild. He doesn't know what will happen when he goes into the bedroom - will they just go to bed? Will they make passionate love, or will she bind his body again and use it for her pleasure? To him it doesn't matter because his place this weekend is to do nothing but please her in any way she wants. Walking out of the bathroom in just his shorts, he comes to the bedroom door. Placing his hand on the doorknob, he doesn't turn it yet but think for another moment what he is about to walk into.
Then he enters the room which is very dimly lit with a few candles. He sees her sitting in the chair with the collar in one hand and riding crop in the other. She points at the ground with the crop and he knows what this means. He gets down on all fours and crawls to her. Kneeling at her feet she places the collar around his neck and says to him, "Now my dear, you are going to be my bitch. You're going to know what it's like to be done, to be fucked like some bitch. Do you understand?" "Yes Mistress."
Looking down at him and rubbing her hands up and down his back, she says, "It's time for you to know what it's like to have this done to you, to know what us women go through and how it feels to be the bitch."
Telling him to get up on his knees, she looks down at him and smiles. "I was going to blindfold you but then I thought it would be better that you see it." He wonders what she means by that. She starts to untie her nightgown, beginning at bottom of it and working her way up, then stopping just below her breasts. She leans over to kiss him and caress his face, and then she sits back and begins to open her nightgown and expose herself to him.
He sees the glaze in her eyes, the joy she's getting from him being on his knees in front of her. She tells him "I have something for you. " He looks bewildered at her, wondering what it is. She grabs him by the hair on top of his head and pulls his head down, making him look down between her legs. Surprised, he sees that she's wearing a strapon dildo - the same dildo she used on him last night. It's no bigger then 5 inches long and not too thick, but now it has a set of balls attached to it.
Firmly she says, "I want you to suck it, and suck it good. Think about all the women in your life who've sucked your cock, and think about how I suck your cock. Now you'll know how they and I feel and what it's like. Now start sucking."
He doesn't put up a fight when she guides his face to it. Slowly he places his lips around it. "That's right baby. Put it in your mouth and suck that cock," she says, holding him by his hair and pulling him on to it. "Come on bitch, suck it. You can do better than that."
The tone of her voice sends chills through his body and turns on a switch inside of him that he sends his mouth down the dild until it fills his mouth. He puts his hand on its balls, which he can see excites her further and she lets him know how good he is doing, "That's right bitch. Feel those balls, suck that cock." Then she grabs him with both hands and sends his mouth up and down the dildo.
For some reason he is enjoying this. He would never suck a real cock, but this is different, it's the power thing that excites him and drives him crazy. Knowing that he is her bitch.
She tells him to use his tongue so he slides it up and down the dildo, nice and slow, giving it gentle licks as she gently strokes his hair. Spreading her legs wider and placing them on the arms of the chairs, he sends his lips down on the dildo. Sucking on it and pressing his hand against the balls, it rubs up against her clit exciting her even more.
Not wanting to get too excited she pulls his hands away from the dildo. She holds his wrists against her body so he can't use them and tells him to keep sucking. Even without using his hands he seems to be really enjoying it, sucking every inch of it. She looks down at him and tells him what a good slut he is. Using his lips, his tongue, he seems to get better the more he does it. Playing the role of the bitch seems to fit him - but that's because of her, it's her power that does it.
He doesn't want to stop but she pulls him up and holds him, kissing his neck and whispering in his ear, "I love you."
She gets up from her chair and gets the leash. Attaching it to his collar she tells him, "Now you're my bitch dog, the bitch dog that's in heat." Walking him around the room, she whacks him with the crop when he stops or slows down. Training him, telling him firmly what she wants him to do and how to walk. The sound of her firm voice makes him do everything she says, and he embraces her power.
After a few times around the room, she leads him to the middle of the room and tells him to stay. He keeps still as she sets a stool behind him and sits on it. She rubs his ass with the crop, gives it a whack, and rubs it some more. He starts to whimper and every whimper that comes from him arouses her even more.
Picking up her bag, she takes an anal toy from it, one made for anal training. He can only wait for whatever it is, wanting it as his heart beats faster and chills run up and down his body. She slides some lube up the crack of his ass, and the chill of it makes him jump a little. She gives him a whack and tells him to keep still. "Yes Mistress."
Sliding the tip of her finger inside his ass to lube it, she slowly slides the toy inside him. It's long but somewhat thin, with a handle on the end for a good grip. Still holding the leash, she sends the toy into him, sliding it in and out and twisting it inside him. A moan comes from him and his heads drops down to the floor as he feels it being turned inside of him. It feels so good.
He asks "Please, deeper. Please I want to feel it deeper." She sends it a little deeper, being very careful, and she places the leash through his legs and pulls gently on it so that it rubs against his balls.
Then she pulls the toy from him and again tells him not to move. Moving the stool, she stands behind him and gently kicks at his legs to spread them apart a little more. Kneeling down behind him she grabs him by his hair, "Now bitch I am going to mount you like the bitch dog that you are."
She grabs the cheeks of his ass, spreads them apart, and guides the strapon inside of him. She enters him gently, stopping at the head of it and teasing him with it, asking him if he wants it all. He responds, "Yes Mistress please, give it all to me." With a firm voice she says, "Beg bitch, or I'll take it out and leave you here like this until I'm ready to let you get into the bed. Or maybe I'll have you sleep on the floor like a dog."
Not wanting that, he begs with desperation in his voice, "Please Mistress, give to me. Please, I want you to fuck me!" She asks, "What are you now?" Not knowing what to say he stays silent, and firmly she says, "You know what you are. You're my bitch dog. So now tell me, what are you?" Softly he replies, "I am your bitch dog." She can't really hear him clearly and she whacks him on the ass. "What are you?" This time he speaks clearly, "I am your bitch dog." "That's right, you are," she says to him.
Feeling her again slide the strapon dildo inside him, he starts to pant and breathe heavily just like a bitch dog in heat. Feeling her hands around his hips as she sends the dildo deeper, he is enjoying being mounted like a dog, being done doggie-style. Grinding it inside of him deeper and pressing herself against him, she pulls on his hips to drive it deeper and she starts fucking him hard and fas. Moaning and whimpering louder, he begs for her not to stop. He lets her know how good it feels and the more he does, the more she gets off.
Now she's really fallen into her role and is enjoying everything about it. It sends her soaring, mentally and physically. She can't believe it how she's fallen into it - talking the way she is, and the things she's saying - never before did she ever say things like this to him, not while having sex. She never thought she could do it, but here she was, taking the power and letting it flow from within her. Her voice firm but erotic, strong yet sensual; every time she calls him her bitch dog, she enjoys saying it just as much as he enjoys hearing it.
Now still fucking him, he's taking it, moaning with his head down on the floor. She reaches around and grabs his cock, stroking it, getting it harder while not missing a thrust into him. Again she shouts to him "You're my bitch dog!" and barely able to speak, he answer her again, "Yes Mistress." She drops herself onto his back, gently grinding the dildo inside him. Running her hand through his hair she tells him, "I love you my bitch dog. You are so mine. I own you now."
