Wait! We can spank and get spanked? Sign me up!!!

according to your profile, you signed up over 3 years ago :P

I know! I just had my third anniversary. But nobody told me could get spankings or spank others. Well, Eclair used to, but that was different and she doesn't talk to me anymore.

That this guy would fit in just fine here.

http://indebtfatshortbadteeth.wordpress.com/2011/10/22/hello-underwear-no-i-didnt-go-to-the-pub/

yes, he appears to get all his knowledge of women from porno, so he would fit in here



reminds me of a man that was trying to explain to me that since I am a woman I am automatically able to have multiple orgasms and squirt on command. Because, of course, porn is a very reliable source of information about how women react to sex.

I read some of his other posts and he's quite funny.  I'm putting him on my check every so often list.

Actually, history has mis-spelled my name.  It's Vicetoria.  Accent on the vice.

Thanks for all the karma points this week folks.  I'm glad I make so many people a little bit happier.

Japan Tsunami debris field making its way to US shores

The March 11th tsunami in Japan created a debris field which is traveling the ocean’s current. The tsunami debris field is on course to hit the US, just as scientists predicted. The debris have turned up in the ocean right where scientist said they would be right now and are on track to hit the Hawaiian Islands first and then onto the West Coast of the US, according to MSNBC.

The tsunami carried millions of tons of debris with it back out into the ocean. Scientists at the International Pacific Research Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa have tracked this debris field along with making scientific predictions of the path it will travel. This field of debris threatens small ships and coastlines.

The latest sighting of this floating junk yard was reported by the STS Pallada, a Russian ship that ran into the debris field on its way from Honolulu to Vladivostok. The crew of the Pallada spotted a “surprising number” of floating items right after the ship passed the Midway Islands

What items are in this field of floating junk? The ship first spotted a Japanese fishing boat floating in a mass with other items. They also spotted a “TV, a refrigerator and a couple of other home appliances. “ This debris field the ship went through offered days of spotting “wooden boards, plastic bottles, buoys from fishing nets (small and big ones), an object resembling wash basin, drums, boots, and other wastes. All these objects are floating by the ship." This was recorded by the Pallada’s information and education mate, Natalia Borodina.

The tsunami debris field is due to hit the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, if the projections are correct. First landfall of the floating junk is expected this winter on the Midway Islands. What misses that location will float toward the main Hawaiian Islands, arriving in about two years, then in three years the debris field is due to hit the West Coast of the US.

Good.  That gives IceQueen and Parts a few years to get ready to get to CA.

with any luck, there will be a west coast earthquake with tsunami, that will wash it back to Japan, or even better China.

Of course if it goes to China it will return to the USA in the form of new product.

Autism in Another Ape

An extraordinary baby bonobo is a rare case study for autism researchers.

Rambunctious one-year-old Teco, a third-generation captive-born bonobo at the Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa, has an ape’s usual fondness for games and grapes. 

But perhaps because of trauma from a difficult birth (his mother was in labor for 60 hours) or a genetic predisposition, Teco is different from his bonobo peers in ways that resemble autism in young children. 

He did not cling to his mother or nurse the way healthy young apes do instinctively, mimicking the aversion to physical contact seen in children with autism.  Teco also tends to fixate on shiny objects and avoids eye contact, and he has trouble coordinating his four limbs. 

A genetic analysis of bonobos, already under way, may shed light on Teco’s condition and offer new perspectives on autism’s genetic roots in humans.

From Great Ape Trust Media Centre

Teco likes technology. The newest member of bonobo language research has been introduced to something quite different from previous generations. Teco, born on June 1 at Great Ape Trust, has shown a keen interest in children's applications on an iPad.

Great Ape Trust scientist, Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh introduced Teco to several iPad apps earlier this month. He not only views the programs but tries to manipulate the programs with his hands. Savage-Rumbaugh, a pioneer of language research with bonobos, said she's never seen such development in a bonobo that young.

Scientists at Great Ape Trust are confident that Teco could play an important role in ape language studies at the Des Moines-based research facility. Teco is the son of Kanzi and Elikya and is a third-generation bonobo to be reared in Great Ape Trust’s hallmark Pan/Homo (Pan paniscus/Homo sapiens) environment, Teco is a portent for the future of ape language research, a 40-year body of work by Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh; her mentor Dr. Duane Rumbaugh and Great Ape Trust Scientific Director, William M. Fields.

Teco had trouble bonding with his mother, who turned him over to an aunt, who reportedly passed the baby on to the human caretakers at the Iowa Great Apes Trust.  That's when they began to notice that he also showed various autism-like symptoms: lack of eye contact, strict adherence to rituals or routines, repetitive behaviors, and an interest in objects rather than in social contact. A blanket, for example, has to be arranged just so or else Teco becomes agitated, says scientific director William Fields. Teco also shows repetitive movements similar to those seen in some children with autism.

"He seemed to be fascinated by parts of objects, like wheels and other things, and he wasn't developing joint attention," Fields adds. "The baby was avoiding eye contact -- it was like it was painful for him.”

In people, differences in eye movements and eye contact are early signs of autism. According to Fields, who has studied the apes for more than a decade, eye contact is even more important to social communication in bonobos than it is in humans.

This month, another group of researchers reported that bonobos have more developed neural circuitry than do chimpanzees in parts of the brain involved in emotion and empathy. These brain regions, such as the amygdala, the hypothalamus and the prefrontal cortex, are also areas that show differences in people with autism. The work provides a kind of mirror image to Teco's story: If the structure of the social brain is similar in humans and bonobos, perhaps it's not so surprising that social abnormalities can look similar in the two species as well.

I plugged ALL my music into a website ( for many reasons) and here is a neat thing it did for me. This is a map of where it all comes from. Mostly england and the us.  :indeed:
