"Best Friend's Brother..."
With Victoria Justice

This fictional story contains material not suitable for everyone. It is solely for entertainment purposes. If you are easily offended stop reading now.

As soon as her friend walked out of the house Victoria ran up the stairs and headed to her bedroom slamming the door behind her. She stood at the window as her friend and co star Ariana Grande got into the car while she caught only glimpse of her brother Jake with whom she had been secretly in love with since they were little kids. She liked everything about him specially his newly grown facial hair, she had a crazy mustache obsession that sometimes made people think she was weird.

As the car drove away Victoria did what she always had every time she saw Jake. The "Victorious" star settle herself on her bed putting a finger in her mouth as her free hand traveled all over her body. Victoria slipped her hand into her pants slowly caressing her clit over her silk thong, the smooth fabric against her private area always drove her crazy.

After a while she took her hand out out and held it near her mouth as her tongue licked her sweet juices, which she had always thought were the best she had ever tasted. Of course she liked how all her friends flavors but hers seem to have something that made her taste buds explode.

The young teen quickly undid her pants pulling them down her long slender legs then taking her shirt off and throwing it to one side. Laying in bed with just her underwear and her legs wide open, Victoria returned to pleasuring herself. The teen's fingers pressing the moist fabric against her hot pussy adding more pressure as she got hornier. Separating her folds with her her thong wrapped finger the young star bit her bottom lip as to not make any noise.

Using her other hand to squeezed her firm breasts and fondling her sharp dark nipples before wetting them with her tongue. The nick star sucked on her nipple while her hand dove deeper inside her cunt.

Stopping for a second only to reach under her bed and take out a box with a combination lock. She took off the lock and opened the box taking out a large dildo then placing the box back under the bed. She stared at dildo for a while thinking if that was actually how a penis looked like since she had never actually seen one. Up until now she had only had sexual experiences with a few of her friends which included: Elizabeth Gillies, Miranda Cosgrove and her best friend Ariana Grande.

Victoria had taken off her underwear and wrapped it on the dildo and placed it at her naughty place. Taking a deep breath the actress impaled herself imagining that it was Jake who was penetrating her.

Victoria turned onto her side lifting her leg and holding it in the air as she ran her her hand along her firm ass before sticking her middle finger in her tight backdoor. She tilted her head back as the dildo entered her faster while her finger went deeper into her asshole until it was no longer visible.

Victoria breathing was still heavy from the masturbating session when she removed the dildo from her womb then took her juice soaked garment and stuck it in her mouth before continuing. It only took a matter of seconds before the brunette's entire body trembled as it was overtaken by something she couldn't control anymore, the orgasm swept over her body making her moan one last time.

The young star took a few minutes to rest before put everything away locking the sex toy in the box then taking a quick shower. Victoria ran downstairs to the kitchen, the previous physical activity made her extremely hungry. It was still early so Victoria decide to watch a movie but as she sat on the couch she couldn't help but think about Jake.

A while later Victoria found herself dialing Ariana's number.

"Hey Tori, what's up?." the redhead answered

"Hi Ari. Um, nothing, it's just that I'm so bored..." Victoria was abruptly cut off

"Same here. I think I'm going to die of boredom."

"I really miss you when I'm like this because we have so much fun together." Victoria hoped that her plan worked which it usually did.

"Aww, I miss you too." Ariana let out a shriek as she had an idea. "I know, how about you sleep over."

Just as expected Ariana was just on cue.

"That's a great idea, I'll bring the movie. Let me just tell my mom and I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Oh and the you know what" Ariana whispered

The Nick stars said bye and just as before Victoria rushed to her room to pack and over night bag. She threw some clothes, a tooth brush, her makeup bag, and a double sided dildo that she and Ariana had used quite a few times before.

As the TV star got out of the car she noticed Jake standing over his car in the drive way. Victoria waved goodbye to her mom then turned towards the house glancing over at her crush every few steps. Aria pulled her friend inside then almost dragging her threw the house until they reached the redhead's bedroom.

"Careful Ari you almost made me fall down the stairs."

"I'm sorry but I just wanted to do this" Ariana held Victoria's head as she kissed her hard on the lips.

"I've wanted to do that and more." the brunette teens embraced her friend one more time.

Thing were getting hot and heavy when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Ari mom says to come down for dinner"

Just hearing Jake's voice made Victoria dirty her fresh pair of underwear. Irritated by interruption both girls made their way downstairs. Taking a seat across from Jake, Victoria gave a smile as her friend's brother returned the gesture.

"So what do you girls have planned for tonight" Ariana's mom asked.

"Oh, you know, watch a couple of movies, practice our scenes, sing."

"Play with ourselves" Victoria whispered but it was still loud enough that Jake heard making him choke on his food.

The rest of dinner was quite while Jake kept looking over and imagining his sister's friend touching herself. Both teen star's ate quickly excusing themselves and heading to Ariana's room.

"Are you ready?" Victoria pinned Ari against the door.

"Wait" Ariana said "Why don't we put a romantic movie and then have a special night."

One thing that Victoria didn't like about Ariana was how she could be shy one minute and the next she could be all over Victoria. Tori of course preferred the naught Ari but right now she had to suffer through her friends romantic side.

The girls settled on the bed as they spooned, Victoria behind Ariana, while the movie began. It was just past midnight when Victoria woke up and turned to her friend who was still asleep. With the busy week both "Victorious" stars had, the brunette teen wasn't surprised of the sudden nap. Still in a daze Victoria headed for the bedroom door as she was going to pleasure herself in the bathroom since her play time with Ariana wasn't very likely to happen.

Victoria disappeared from Jake's view behind the door when he heard her footsteps approach the door. Jake turned to his bedroom, which was across from his sister's and turned the knob when he heard Victoria behind him.

"Oh, Jake you scared me." Tori said very happily

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." the tall good looking guy now faced the beautiful, incredibly fit TV star.

"I was just...um...going to the bathroom." Jake lied since he didn't feel much like confessing that he was watching the young teen sleep like he did every time she slept over.

"I can tell" Victoria giggled

Confused, Jake looked in the direction that Tori was so intensely looking at when he noticed that his very noticeable erection. Of course there was nothing he could do about it specially not when she was wearing a tight spaghetti strap that stopped just above her belly button. Her toned tummy on full display as well as her long slender legs only covered by the tiniest pair of cotton boy shorts that rested just above her hips. He felt so embarrassed at the idea of what Victoria thought he was going to the bathroom for.

Victoria felt womanhood begin to heat up as she saw the large shape under Jake's pants, knowing perfectly well that this might be her only chance she decided to test her luck. Jake had his back pressed against his bedroom door as his sister's friend walked towards him until he could feel the warmness of her body.

"You know if you ever need a hand with anything" Victoria now feeling brave ran her finger along the boner ever so lightly touching the fabric that covered it.

Jake was shocked at Victoria's forwardness but at the same time he was filled with excitement since he had wanted this for a long time specially since Victoria now had her own show and was now desired by teens and men all over the world.

"Really?" his voice cracked while Victoria just nodded.

"Well I do have and idea of something you could help me with, if you don't mind staying up this late." he grinned

Knowing well what Jake meant, the naughty teen got her knees taking a second to preparing herself for what was about to happen. Victoria pulled her long time crush's pants down. Amazed at the size of the cock Tori licked her lips then place the moist lips on the tip of the hard flesh. Jake moaned as Victoria's pursed lips kissed his mushroom tip.

Victoria did her best to take the dick deeper into her mouth like she did with her sex toys, but she soon realized it wasn't the same. The twitching cock made Victoria hornier than ever before but she felt a bit ashamed that she couldn't take Jake's entire length of course it was not easy task considering the length and girth. Tori did her best as her head bobbed up and down gagging every time the bell end tough the back of her throat.

"Mmm, Tori you're so good" Jake moaned.

Jake still couldn't believe that he was getting sucked by the beautiful Victoria Justice and just as he had expected she was amazing. What made the whole thing even better was the fact that this was happening in the hallway just outside his sister's, Ariana Grande, bedroom increasing the risk of getting caught.

As Victoria's mouth wrapped the long hard flesh and her wet tongue ran along the underside of Jake's dick, the horny teen wanted more than to give a blowjob, Victoria needed to have this menacing cock inside her. With that in mind Tori stood up and gave Jake a long passionate kiss.

Jake had been able to control himself but getting caught off guard by Victoria's kiss he couldn't help it anymore. Jake reached for the door knob once more this time flinging it open and directing Victoria inside. In one swift move he closed the door and threw Tori onto the bed, wasting no time he peeled the young star's underwear.

Ariana's brother marveled at Victoria's pristine young pussy while Tori separated the folds with her fingers. The pinkness of the tight young cunt made Jake drool making him want to have a taste. Noticing Jake's hungry look Tori motioned for him to get closer, which he happily did, then when the young man was close enough the Nick star wrapped her feet around his neck and pulled him in.

Jake kissed Victoria's legs as he traveled along the long smooth limbs, getting on his knees as he reached hers, then continuing until he was face to face with the prize. He placed his tongue in between the wet lips, which were still being held open by the teen, and savored the flavor. It was like no girl he had ever tasted before the taste was simply something out of this world.

Victoria moaned as Jake gave her a tongue lashing and his facial hair tickled her clit. The aroused TV star tighten her legs pressing Jake's head against her and driving his tongue deeper inside. Victoria cooed at the sensation of Jake's tongue wildly moving inside her sopping cunt.

"How do you like my pussy?" Tori snarled

Jake lifted his head sowing Victoria his juice cover facial hair.

"I love it" he answered before returning to his feast.

Enjoying the oral she was receiving but wanting more the brunette Tori grabbed a chuck of Jake's hair and pulled his head away from her treasure.

"I've waited long enough so fuck me now" the fierce teen ordered.

Not being one to argue Jake swirled his tongue inside Victoria's sweet cunt before standing and pushing on the teens inner thighs to hold her legs open, and as both teens had always dreamed, Jake impaled the slippery pussy with his hardness.

"Mmnph" Victoria gasped as her snatch was repeatedly stabbed by Jake's sword.

The teen's back lifted from the bed and her eyes rolled to the back of head at the amount of pain and pleasure her body was receiving. Noticing that Victoria's cute toes were curled up Jake place one the teen's legs on the bed and put his own on top then faced the still airborne leg. He stared at the foot's reaction every time he entered Victoria and he loved it which didn't come as a surprised since he had a small foot fetish.

http://img261.imagevenue.com/loc455/th_552217550_160676210_122_455lo.jpg (http://img261.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=552217550_160676210_122_455lo.jpg) http://img152.imagevenue.com/loc116/th_992953726_252237878_122_116lo.jpg (http://img152.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=992953726_252237878_122_116lo.jpg) http://img281.imagevenue.com/loc186/th_024804492_0mtcUyvi1qbfppso1500_122_186lo.jpg (http://img281.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=024804492_0mtcUyvi1qbfppso1500_122_186lo.jpg)

Noting just how pretty the young actress's feet was Jake stuck out his tongue and this licked most of the bottom and then the side of Tori's foot. He reached the big toe and without giving it a second thought he introduced it into his mouth making Victoria purr. He ran his tongue along each toe covering them in saliva then taking each toe individually into his mouth. At that moment he glance over at Victoria and noticed her jiggling chest.

He let go of Victoria's foot and as the speed of his hips decreased Victoria settled her body back on the bed. Jake's shaky hand slowly lifted the piece of clothing away from the Victoria's chest revealing the most perfect pair breast's. He rested his hands on the perky tits and gave them a squeeze while her erect nipples peeked through his fingers.

Victoria looked up at Jake just as he rammed in his hardness making her claw at the bedsheets and her legs wrap around his hips. The sound of his groin slapping against her butt cheeks rang in the actress's ears making her moaning inaudible to her.

Worried that Tori might wake up the whole house Jake covered her mouth muffling her raucous. Jake closed his eyes as the amazing sensation of Victoria Justice's tight pussy made his head spin when he felt something throw him off balance. Opening his eyes and seeing Victoria now on top of him taking control only made his feelings for the TV star stronger.

Victoria rested her body against Jake's, his face buried in her chest. As the teen pushed herself she was detained by Jake which clenched her hard nipple pulling her back down. His ran down the side of Victoria's body slowly moving down the curve of her ass then pushing it down while Jake pushed his lower body up.

"Oh god" Tori yelped as she took in all of Jake's erection.

Now settling back down the brunette teen sat on the rock hard meat. Jake caressed Victoria's clit while he admired the teens flawless body.

"How can someone be so perfect" Jake thought to himself

Victoria felt her body involuntarily begin to gyrate interrupting Jake's train of thought making his member twitch inside of her. This sudden action tighten Victoria's muscles and constricting Jake's throbbing manhood. Pressing her hands against Jake's chest Victoria pushed herself up slowly, releasing her grip of Jake's rod completely. Her warm clam hovering over Jake's mushroom tip skimming her lips a few times before dropping back down.

The feeling of her tight womanhood getting fully invaded by the large fat cock sent a shock through Victoria's entire body. Knowing that she was close to an orgasm Tori pushed herself up and dropped back down repeatedly picking up speed every second until she was bouncing like a maniac. Entering and exiting Victoria's young, super tight and delicious pussy at the extremely fast speed sent Jake over the edge sending strand after strand of his sticky seed deep into Victoria's womb.

Both satisfied teen's embraced in a kiss, as they climaxed, in an attempt to not stop their would of been loud signs of pleasure. Victoria laid on Jake with his now half chub still inside her.

"You were incredible. Better than I had imagine." Victoria looked at Jake with admiration

"Well you weren't half bad" Ariana's brother joked

"I can't believe i had sex with my friend's brother"

"I can't believe I fucked Victoria Justice" Jake chuckled while Victoria playfully smacked him.

After a while of laying together and replaying the events in their heads both teens looked snapped out of their trance and began to get dressed. Jake stayed in his bed as he watched Victoria slip on her shirt and head for the door.

"Hey, are we going to do this again?"

"Definitely" Victoria answered peeking her head back in the room.

Jake closed his eyes as Victoria shut the door and made her way back to her Ariana's bedroom.

05-24-2011, 02:21 PM
Yeah but what I hate is that some fans keep insisting he's straight and should go out with Liz. Anyway that's why I had to create a brother for her.

05-25-2011, 08:45 AM
I think you should make a part 2 maybe get Ariana in the action

05-25-2011, 08:49 AM
"...And My Best Friend Too" is the name I decided on for the next one

05-30-2011, 07:26 PM
I'm admittedly a little late on this one, but it's worth taking the time to comment on just how amazing it was. Such a truly great story with very well-done descriptions and of course incredibly hot. Great work Giggidy. I am definitely looking forward to chapter 2!

View Full Version : Turbo delete on st185, rally pros help

08-28-2012, 04:03 AM
I just co drivered my second rally. Since I hardly ever drive my all trac, idea, whats involved in turning that into a rally car and be a driver. With the novice restrictions Id have to start with a non turbo. How does one remove the turbo and make it work? Is it as easy as running the air from the AFM to the intake and covering the turbo to downpipe hole? Are there kits for that or have to fab? Will the computer function or have to do something there too?

08-28-2012, 04:36 AM
It's going to be horrible, basically. I'd rather have a properly running 5sfe than run the 3sgte without the turbo. The computer will function, sure, but that motor makes crap-all power without the turbo. You can just run a pipe from the AFM to the intake and I'm sure it will function.

joe's gt
08-28-2012, 04:49 AM
Compression ratio is too low so the motor won't do much without the turbo. Probably would barely run without tuning.

08-28-2012, 03:08 PM
On my 3s when the charge pipe kept coming off there was no power without the turbo helping. You'd be better of with s5 or 3sge in there.

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2

08-28-2012, 03:14 PM
Well, like they said, you wouldn't WANT to rally it without the turbo, it won't develop enough torque to get out of it's own way.

That being said... Remove turbo, block oil inlet/drain and coolant lines to turbo and reroute intake/exhaust and it will run fine. ECU has no problem running N/A.

08-28-2012, 06:17 PM
Best bet would be a 3SGE swap until you're allowed to use a turbo, but a 5S might be faster & easier. Or get a cheap NA Subaru until you're allowed to use your turbo.

08-28-2012, 08:15 PM
Best bet would be to buy a different car to get past Novice ranking.

The Captain
08-28-2012, 09:28 PM
5SFE swap. Cheap, plentiful and bolts right up.

08-28-2012, 09:50 PM
just get a gt celica, u can find them cheap

08-29-2012, 07:11 PM
Ok, good to know. Thanks,

08-29-2012, 07:44 PM
I would just get a corolla or camry alltrac and use that.

View Full Version : 6th gen front gas shocks on a 5th gen?

10-02-2012, 01:06 AM
like the title says. will this work? im lookin for a direct replacement without having to mod anything. thanks in advance everyone. oh the shocks in question are kyb gr2

10-02-2012, 01:35 AM
KYB lists them as different part numbers, 365075 for the fifth-gen front inserts and 365092 for the sixth-gen front inserts. They're even different weights, the fifth-gen version being a touch lighter.

10-02-2012, 06:47 AM
no they wont, i tried putting 5th gen shocks on a 6th, they bolt up but the camber was way off

edit: the inserts i beleave will work because i had some kyb front inserts on my 94 and i think they were for a 5th gen,

10-02-2012, 02:13 PM
what if i use the houseing for the 6th gen shocks as well on the 5th gen? will i run into the same problem with camber?

10-07-2012, 07:41 AM
if u use inserts u should be fine

10-09-2012, 07:15 PM
If camber is the problem, you can counteract that by using lobed camber bolts, however, the inserts will work, but the question becomes why not just run the 5th gen specific stuff? Do you have some good deal on the 6th gen stuff or something?

10-10-2012, 04:36 AM
yeah got a deal i coudnt pass on from nitro alltrac, and was making sure that the inserts would work :)

10-16-2012, 08:41 AM
i ran 5th gen incerts on my 6th gen after my monroes gave out, i got them for 30 shipped and they were new kyb.

The Benefits of SD-WAN for Your Retail Locations

“I’m sorry, the system is slow today.” How often have your salespeople or clerks said this phrase when trying to complete a sale or check if something is in stock? Not only does this reflect poorly on your brand but it can actually cost you sales, turning off potential customers who are waiting for service.

But there’s also the online experience to think about. If your network can’t handle the shopping volume, online shopping carts will be abandoned.

What does this mean for midsized retailers with multiple branches? Ultimately you’re trying to provide for the best customer experience in your locations. Besides your POS systems, your network configuration can contribute significantly to business efficiency.

Retailers have made many technology improvements to their models over the past couple of years, such as adding e-commerce and allowing for mobile transactions. But these are high-bandwidth workloads that end up straining your network. Simply adjusting your Internet speed is not going to be enough, and sometimes going that route can be costly, add more complexity and more security requirements to your infrastructure than necessary.

What’s a retailer to do? Recent technology advances have offset business challenges, most notably a software-defined approach to networking.

Fixing the Problem with a Software-Defined Networking Approach

A wide area network (WAN) is a network that spans a large geographical area. A WAN connects different smaller networks, including local area networks (LANs), and is typically used for banks and retail stores. Traditional WANs are expensive and complex, forcing businesses to install complicated infrastructures at their branch offices consisting of routers, WAN path controllers, WAN optimizers, firewalls and other components. When something goes wrong anywhere in the WAN, it has to be manually fixed by a technician sent into the field – which again, can be a large expense.

Software-defined wide-area networks (SD-WANs) address these issues.

What Exactly Is an SD-WAN?

The software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) is a subset of software-defined networking (SDN) technology as used in combination with WANs. SD-WANs are especially useful and cost-effective when used to connect networks that span geographic distances, such as retailers with branch offices scattered around a state or even country. The SD-WAN does this by pulling the traditional network layers apart. By separating the data plane – which carries traffic – from the control plane, the network becomes software driven. This gives the network administrator power to control how applications are managed as they traverse the network. Examples of control include the setting of security at the server level and shaping traffic for specific application types through policy settings. For example, you can prioritize or block specific packets based on available bandwidth. And, you can add bandwidth dynamically when you need it.

Think of retail-store lighting as a comparison. It’s the difference between having to walk around the store turning each light on or off individually rather than having a central switch that does it all. By using this central control, which represents SD-WAN, you’ll be able to do things like schedule the lighting to change at desired times of the day, or send alerts when a light goes out.

Since SD-WAN transforms the network into a software-controlled infrastructure, companies can send network traffic along the most efficient route rather than using the traditional “hub and spoke” network model. And with SD-WAN, network administrators can combine all the network and broadband assets together under a single, software-controlled interface that allows them to write policies and control traffic on the fly without the need to individually re-program routing tables across the network.

This allows you to prioritize how your network treats data. For example, if you have a critical application – such as your inventory system or e-commerce site – you don’t want that to be slowed down by less important data. You can program your network to automatically prioritize your e-commerce site traffic, and route it appropriately.

Advantages of SD-WAN

The chief attraction of SD-WAN technology is that it delivers a business-class, secure and simple software-controlled WAN connection. This connection uses cost-effective open-source and software-based technologies to allow you to manage the network from one remote location. Here are some other benefits:

  • Quickly add new stores. Opening a new store? No problem. You don’t have to rebuild your WAN or lay new groundwork because most of the work is done via software from a central location.
  • Automatically run bandwidth-intensive workloads in real time. This technology allows you to prioritize workloads that require a lot of bandwidth from your network, such as running VoIP, setting up videoconferencing calls to train your staff at remote stores and running your e-commerce site.
  • Reduce maintenance requirements. Because you can do everything remotely through software, SD-WANs require much fewer site visits.
  • Enable integrated network access. Both your store and website need to integrate information over unified applications that are simple for employees to learn and use. SD-WAN connects cloud-based applications to data across a common network interface providing near real-time access from any Internet-connected device.

In the Future Everything Will Depend on the Network

For today’s retailers, the branch network is a critical part of their business strategies. One study found that although online sales are rapidly growing, 94% of sales still occur at brick-and-mortar stores. But an entire 50% of shoppers are doing something called “showrooming” – visiting physical stores to actually see and touch products, but then eventually making their purchases online. This behavior is typically a result of price.

Similarly, while they are in a store, 77% of shoppers use their smartphones to check prices online prior to buying. With the right network, retailers can entice on-site consumers who tend to be online shoppers into their digital stores by offering free WiFi. This gives retailers twice the opportunity to “capture” customers.

In fact, another survey found retailers moving toward what is called “unified commerce,” where customers get a consistent and personalized experience no matter what channel they use to shop at a store. More than half of retailers (56%) said their no. 1 technology goal is to achieve this.

In Summary

The foundation of SD-WAN does not involve new technology. Instead, it requires repackaging existing technologies that network service providers integrate and sell. Similarly, it is not a new concept to be able to centrally manage a WAN. However, the combination, with the ability of SD-WAN to dynamically share multiple networks across branches, is a useful – and even exciting – technology for retailers.

HPE offers price-per-gig storage with Flash Now initiative

Brad Parks, director of go-to-market strategy and enablement for HPE Storage

, director of go-to-market strategy and enablement for Storage

LONDON, UK — In its latest pitch to continue the march of flash deeper into the storage space, Hewlett Packard has introduced an initiative it calls Flash Now, which lures customers in with the promise of flash storage at a price point of three cents per usable gigabyte per month.

While the program clearly has a target in its crosshairs, it’s not a traditional “competitive takeout” effort — rather, it seems to be firmly focused on preventing storage workloads from moving off-premise, noting that the price point offered is “a fraction of the cost of public solutions.” That means a “target-rich environment” for partners, as Brad Parks, director of go-to-market strategy and enablement for HPE Storage, puts it, because a lot (70 to 80 per cent) of enterprise customers have some sort of a project mandate from management, but those pushes are seldom well-defined.

“Flash Now is a tool our sellers can use to approach their customer base that have those mandates, and de-mystify what it all means for them,” Parks said. “There are a lot of instances where apps and data belong in the cloud. But there are an equal number where they’re looking for an OpEx cost model, and simple provisioning, and with FlashNow, you can deliver that without disrupting what they already have.”

Much of what is included in Flash Now has been available for some times — in terms of tools and services, and financing options from the vendor. But by bringing them all together in a package with an attractive-to-customers pitch, the company is hoping to shine a brighter light on what is possible with on-premise flash, and make it as easy as possible for sellers to position and offer.

The key behind the initiative is financing through one of two HPE financing organs. For relatively straightforward offerings that don’t need much flexibility (upwards, but particularly downwards), financing for Flash Now sales are handled by HPE Financing, a straight “pay as you grow” model at the aforementioned three-cent price point. For larger customers that may have more interest in scaling up and down as capacity changes, financing is offered through the program offered by HPE’s Technical Services (TS) division, affording those customers greater elasticity.

With Flash Now, the company is also looking to shine a spotlight on the Online Input data migration capabilities that have been present in for a year now, offering a simplified path for moving data from storage arrays from a variety of storage rivals. This doesn’t fit into the ongoing opex cost model per se, but it does represent a big and lucrative service opportunity for partners, particularly when the tools make that data migration much faster and more automated for partners to deploy, Parks said.

While the initiative and offering themselves are ongoing, Parks said he sees a first-mover advantage for the company and its partners over “the next three to six months” to drive the conversation around on-premise flash as an alternative to storage, leading customers to the solution that will be best-performing and most cost-effective for their particular cases. And there are a lot of customers that fit the likely profile.

“We’ve seen a lot of growth in past years, but these’s still only 15 or so per cent of the worldwide footprint that’s made the shift to lead with all-flash. We have an opportunity to be very aggressive in driving that transition with our customers,” he said.

FBI to review Tylenol deaths

The FBI in Cambridge, Mass., says it's launched a "complete review of all evidence" in the unsolved 1982 Tylenol poisonings that killed seven people in the Chicago area.

The statement comes the same day federal agents searched the Boston-area home of a man convicted of extortion in the aftermath of the poisonings.

No one was ever charged with the deaths of those who took the cyanide-laced drugs. The FBI's statement says its review also has not resulted in the filing of any criminal charges.

On Wednesday, FBI agents searched the Cambridge home of James Lewis. Lewis served 12 years in prison for extortion after sending a note to Tylenol maker Johnson & Johnson demanding $1 million to "stop the killing."

May 16 - Concurrent Professional Development Sessions

All sessions take place at the Raleigh Convention Center. Scroll down the page to see the 1:15 p.m.–2:30 p.m. session descriptions.

10:30 a.m.–11:45 a.m.

Leading and Learning Toward a More Equitable and Inclusive Organizational Culture
Join three museum leadership pairs as they are interviewed about how they are leading and what they are learning as they move their museums toward a more equitable and inclusive organizational culture. This session will focus on their efforts through the Cultural Competence Leadership Institute process to look inward at their institutional values and commitments and will include successful strategies as well as failed ones. The session will reveal there isn’t one “right path,” that this process is about learning and continually moving toward an aspiration. A Q&A open to all session attendees will follow the interview portion.

Play Is… Recent Reseach Findings and Their Applications
If you’ve been to InterActivity before, you’ve likely heard about the work conducted by the Children’s Museum Research Network (CRMN). Their second study focused on play and looked at definitions of play, types of play, characteristics of play, and measuring play, among other dimensions. Join network members in this workshop session as they help you develop your own plan—using a CMRN-vetted worksheet—for incorporating the research findings on play into your institution’s practices. This session will include individual work and lots of table discussions.

Using Everyday Life to Inspire Extraordinary Learning
Remember the last time you went through a car wash? This everyday experience is both wild and adventurous and mundane. A new exhibit at the Minnesota Children’s Museum used a car wash as the foundation for an open-ended learning experience that is provocative, develops 21st century skills, and leverages intergenerational connections. Presenters will discuss how they achieved a shift in their creative process and will lead attendees through small group work using their “Everyday Learning” design development toolkit to explore different everyday experiences such as a laundromat, pet store, bowling alley, and more. Participants will break out into small groups to generate new exhibit ideas, which will be reviewed by attendees and presenters.

Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner: Giving Infants the Spotlight
In the early years of our field, many children’s museums and science centers catered to children ages two and up, if not older. More recently, museums have seen tremendous growth in attendance by families with infants and toddlers, just as child development research has yielded a wealth of information about early brain development and the importance of sensory-rich experiences during the first three years. Presenters from four museums will share innovative strategies to strengthen engagement with families with infants and toddlers, including programming, exhibits, professional development, evaluation, and a free membership program open to all first-time parents and their infants.

Innovative Accessibility
Accessibility in children’s museums has a myriad of components! In this session, attendees will learn how different museums approach accessibility, including a program designed to offer museum experiences to children facing life-threatening illnesses, exhibit design strategies and facilitation techniques to engage visually impaired children, and a makerspace accessibility project. Presenters will provide practical tips for museums of all sizes, including how-to’s and ideas for funding sources. Attendees will come away with inspiration to create and sustain programs that offer high-quality experiences to children who otherwise might not be able to enjoy children’s museum experiences.

STEM Gaming in Museums – Making the Right Moves
Are you interested in adding fun gaming experiences to your museum that help visitors explore STEM topics, but not sure where to start? Learn about successful STEM gaming examples from a full range of museums and materials, and hear what works. Card games, board games, full-body games, social games, and digital games all can be great tools to learn about STEM topics, dive into the design process, and reinforce critical thinking skills. Final round: using the tips of game designers in the room, you and your fellow attendees will be challenged to create a new game on a current STEM topic.

Getting the Building You Need, Want, and Can Afford
Building design has a significant impact on the visitor experience and operations of a children’s museum. An architect/exhibit designer will interview three museum CEOs about what working with architects and other consultants as part of a new building, expansion, or renovation project. Their stories will help attendees establish a proactive process that ensures their own building projects address visitor, operational, and exhibition needs. Attendees will have time to ask questions following the interviews.

Full STEAM Ahead: Attracting Teens to Children Museums
This session will provide multiple examples of how children's museums can best attract older demographics through STEAM-related programming of all kinds. From after-school sessions with under-privileged kids, to outreach programs exploring architecture and geometry, to scholarship competitions for tweens and teens, these programs will give every size and shape of museum ideas for how to attract teens and share the power of STEAM with them. You’ll leave this session with numerous ideas for programs to start immediately at your own museum to engage new audiences with STEAM topics.

Flip This Museum! Real World Techniques That Turn Struggles into Success
While children’s museums are nonprofit institutions created to serve their communities, many facilities underperform or ultimately fail due to a variety of financial and operational issues. In this engaging and interactive session, attendees will first hear from two museum directors who have taken on such challenges and transformed their museums into institutions built for long-term success. Next, two economic and management consultants will share how to identify and solve various financial and operational problems. Attendees will then test out new knowledge by examining a fictional case study of a struggling museum.

DIY Exhibit Design for Tight Budgets
This session explores why you might consider doing exhibit design yourself—whether for budgetary or aesthetic reasons. The session is designed to empower internal teams to design their own exhibits and follow through on making exhibits in-house. Presenters will facilitate discussion about the principles of good design and will provide ideas for durable and easily sourced materials. Presenters will cover both the pros and the cons of DIY exhibit design, and when it may or may not be the best solution to go this route.

Building Capacity through Social Justice Principles
Learn effective practices for building your museum’s institutional and individual capacity from social justice-informed museum workers spanning the spectrum of museum roles. This session will explore three major areas: self-assessment, action planning, and resilience planning/sustaining change. Topics include accountability, advocacy, diversity/inclusion/affinity groups, retention, self-care, professional development training (internal & external), building coalitions, and managing “up and across” to advance change.

Avoiding the Trip-Ups of Field Trips: The Value of Play
How often have you heard, “It’s just a day off for students to play”? A common trip-up of field trips at children’s museums is schools not understanding the power of play as a learning tool. Join presenters from small and medium museums as they share their field trip models and how each emphasize the value of play. Then, participate in a reflective working session to co-develop potential pathways for museums to convey the value of play-based field trips to external stakeholders such as parents, teachers, school administration, and funders.

Making Observations: Evidencing Learning in Museum-Based Makerspaces
Making and makerspaces are increasingly popular in children’s museums as well as other informal and formal educational settings. But how do we measure and assess making as a learning process? In this session, presenters will share a suite of empirical tools to identify evidence of learning in a museum-based makerspace, designed collaboratively by museum educators and researchers. Presenters will discuss how these tools can, and have, been used for practice, evaluation, and research in three museums across the U.S. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm how these tools can be used to inform their own institutions’ goals.

Play Is Universal: Establishing a Community Museum for Everybody
This session will put you in the shoes of a child as presenters discuss how you can build a bridge to your community. Kidzu Children’s Museum has embarked on a “Play Is Universal” initiative to better serve its community’s accessibility and diversity needs. Leave this session with an action plan for tomorrow, as presenters “open source” their model to fit your museum through hands-on activities, presentations from community collaborations, and more.

Multi-Museum Math Mashup
Help parents and care providers harness math moments in everyday experiences to build children’s early numeracy. Early math skills are one of the strongest predictors of later academic success, yet they are often the weakest subject on kindergarten entry evaluations. Learn how three Washington State children’s museums teamed up to infuse early numeracy strategies for region-wide impact. Discuss approaches for infusing early numeracy strategies into existing exhibits, onsite programs, and outreach programs, as well as evaluation methods. Learn about the benefits and challenges of multi-museum collaboration and how you can start a similar approach in your region.

Better Together: Navigating Partnership Challenges
Creating and sustaining truly effective partnerships can be tricky. What if results don’t exceed initial expectations? What do you do when, after a while, it becomes clear your goals don’t match your partner’s? What happens when you realize that you are not making the most out of a partnership you have had for years? In this session, presenters will share effective practices for building strategic and more effective collaborations that will make your institution stronger. Participants will also collaboratively analyze and discuss three scenarios that present a variety of partnership challenges encountered in the museum field.

Digital Distractions: Using Technology to Engage Families
Attend this session to practice using mindful media tools for engaging families that have been tested and researched in both museum and home settings. Presenters will discuss and share lessons learned through two research-based projects to engage and empower families to play and learn together, with and without technology tools, in and outside of museums. Presenters will share field-tested scripts for engaging families in the appropriate and meaningful use of technology in museums. Participants will also practice how to be media mentors in museum and educational programming.

How You Do What You Do: Staffing Is Key
As the first point of contact with visitors, every museum needs well-trained, creative, and playful front-end staff! In this session, representatives from a small, a medium, and a large museum will share tips and tricks for hiring, training, and retaining an engaging team. Presenters will also explore different approaches to successful floor team interactions with both adults and children. Participants will leave with concrete examples of practices to implement in their own institutions when hiring, training, and retaining a front-end team.

How to Inspire Humans, Not Donors
Attend this hands-on workshop session to generate ideas, clarify missions, and create talking points and collateral materials in bold, succinct ways to drive engagement and affinity. This session will help enable children's museums to get their messages delivered clearly and definitively—from the development team, to communications, to volunteer leaders. How we speak and write matters.

On the Pleasures of Pigs' Feet

I think we can all be grateful that life abounds with guilty pleasures. That "I know this is terrible for my mind/body/well-being, but surely one time won't long as nobody sees me" feeling makes the secret, illicit joy of a guilty pleasure all the more enticing. Personally, I tend to shy away from bad movies, reality television, and romance novels, but I am not immune to the allure of food as a guilty pleasure. I am here today to share that pigs' feet fall squarely into this sumptuous category.

You can buy pigs' feet--usually pickled--in the USA. Those briny, pallid chunks of flesh crammed into dusty jars on long-untouched grocery store shelves always seemed a bit unappetizing to me, and I suspect most people share that assessment.

I can't imagine why.
Photo courtesy of Geoff

So for those, like me, who have looked ungenerously upon the humble pig foot, let me tell you this: there is another way.

These pigs' feet--a specialty in Kunming--are a revelation for those of us accustomed to those other pigs' feet. Watch as these vibrantly colored hunks of meat and bone are cut down the middle, grilled, and seasoned before your very eyes and served hot, fresh, and oozing with grease. It's that last part--the grease--that turns this from a quotidian pleasure to a guilty pleasure. Here's how it looks when it is served:

I want you to take a moment to notice that generous layer of fat visible on the bottom left of this picture. While you're at it, you might as well take note of the thick skin, best seen at the far right. When this foot is staring up at you, waiting to be eaten, it's hard not to notice those features. Your arteries involuntarily clench in anticipatory revulsion, while your brain frantically replays the relevant lectures from high school health class, hoping to overrule the momentum your taste buds are trying to build. There are no two ways about it: this is not a healthy food. If you're lucky, your taste buds win the internal debate and you tear into this porcine delight with vigor. It is heavenly. The skin is rubbery and chewy, while the meat (or fat) is soft and greasy. The seasoning is mildly spicy and the meat is a bit sweet (not sugary sweet...meaty sweet...think of the sweetness of ham for a comparison). As you eat, your mouth is coated with a thin layer of grease, giving your tongue, teeth, and cheeks a sticky, waxy sensation. Before you know it, you are left with bones on your plate, contentment in your stomach, and half-regret in your brain. Not real regret though--the same regret that you have after eating a whole pint of rich ice cream. Your brain says you regret it, but your soul is richer for the experience.

Pigs' feet, as Cookie Monster might say, are a sometimes food. You would be paving the path to an early grave if you ate these every day. And that's what makes them such a delicious guilty pleasure: the internal tension between knowing they are bad for you and knowing how amazing they taste. Most of the time your brain will win out and you will opt for some spinach or something else boring and healthy. And that's how it should be. Once in a long while, though, you will take the plunge, and you will be richly rewarded. Like all guilty pleasures, the bashful guilt you feel coupled with the rarity of the experience are all part of the magnificent joy of pigs' feet. Savor those moments. Every day foods like spinach sustain life; guilty pleasures--like pigs' feet--are what make it worth sustaining.

Mo Shanley said...

Your descriptions are fantastic, most notably in this one as it actually makes me consider trying pigs feet! But I don't think I could manage it...

Frank Kasell said...

Thanks, Mo! I'm sure you could handle it. It would certainly...behoof you.

larrymillerandmeI started seven days of work on comedian Larry Miller’s NBC sitcom pilot “Uncommon Sense”. I Guest-Starred as a bellhop who hustles Larry out of his last sawbuck. I thought the script was pretty funny! We’ll find out whether or not NBC gives it the green-light in mid-May.

Systad Jacobsen still turned on, ready for tragicomic love story

Norwegian director Jannicke Systad Jacobsen, whose screenplay for her feature debut,Turn Me on, Goddammit![+] (2011), won her the first prize in the World Narrative Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival in the US, has collected €1 million in production funding from the Norwegian Film Institute for her new feature, The Remnants of Pontus Halmstrøm.

Her second feature will be produced by Synnøve Hørsdal and Åshild Ariane Ramborgfor Oslo’s Maipo Film, the company that backed last year’s number-one Norwegian film –Rasmus A Sivertsen’s fully animated The Christmas of Solan and Ludvig[+] – and the 2014 local blockbuster, Norwegian director Arild Fröhlich’sDoctor Proctor’s Fart Powder.

It will shortly premiere Norwegian actress-director Liv Ullmann’s interpretation of Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s Miss Julie, shot from her own script with a US-UK cast comprising Jessica ChastainColin Farrell and Samantha Morton, and with Russian cinematographer Mikhail Krichman behind the camera.

Systad Jacobsen has herself scripted the “tragicomic love story” of The Remnants of Pontus Halmstrøm specifically for Norwegian actress Silje Salomonsen to star in. Salomonsen plays 35-year-old Mie, who meets Pontus and falls head over heels in love for the first time in her life. But then he dies, and she is left an unhappy widow with a child of seven who is obsessed with Bob Dylan, and a grief she is unable to show.

The Norwegian director studied directing at FAMU – the Czech National Film School in Prague – and the London International Film School, adding dramaturgy, drama and social anthropology at the University of Oslo. The Remnants of Pontus Halmstrøm will be premiered domestically in April 2016.
